it's a mosquito bite. mosquito? mosquito. mosquito! -it's not summer. it's a spring mosquito. are there any spring mosquitos? yes, all year round. so it was a mosquito. -really? forget it. what was the call about?

no? -no. i remember her hair. this one's different. good morning. miss satom's coming. -good morning. listen, everybody. go to your classrooms now. after roll call, come back. get going now. -hurry. is everybody here?

"probably?" we take roll here too. miss satom. -kurata isn't here. you were wrong. "probably!" kurata isn't here yet? what's happened? -i didn't recognize you. where was i? she's probably just late. just late. what else? -go on. i'll call her house. sure. excuse me. miss shimizu. -you don't have to go. i'll talk to your teacher. miss satomi, sugiyama isn't here yet. i know. sit down. -sit down. why the hair? nothing. just a perm. i think you've heard about miss sugiyama. -i'm afraid we might be in some trouble. she's with the principal. her parents, too. i've been thinking since i got the call. will they cancel it? -you mean- the cherry orchard? cancelled? they'd never do that. are you sure? yes. -without the cherry orchard there's no anniversary. don't worry, we'll just go on as we planned. after the play is over, we'll talk about your hair. it'll probably take a long time. miss jomaru. -at rehearsal, the lighting was wrong. did you know? something's wrong with one of the switches. sometimes it doesn't work. the one we use in act ii. -it doesn't work. just like that? so, why didn't you fix it? but she said she could manage. who? -horiguchi. nonsense! timing is important. when did you find out? last year. -she said we can use it as it is and fix it later. so it's been broken for a year? but we use it only once a year. just talking about it doesn't help. what's wrong with it? -the circuit? i don't know. of course not. a silly question. it's too late, anyway. -what am i supposed to do first? oh yes, call kurata's house. i'm counting on you. i'm worried. you, too? -we get all prepared, then no play. the vice-principal, mr. arita, and sakaguchi will probably be against it. miss satomi said no cancellation, but i doubt she would speak up at a meeting. -she's young, not too assertive - sakaguchi and arita will likely want to cancel it. miss satomi graduated from this school. sakaguchi was her teacher. really? -really. i didn't know that. for three years. three? so sakaguchi has real influence. -one of his students is now on his staff. that's why he doesn't treat her like a teacher. i know what you mean. do you think... it could be cancelled? i can't tell. -let's get ready. all right. write the schedule on the blackboard. good morning. morning. -you all alone? shimizu was here. the others went to class. were you running late? we were worried. -don't be. i'm all right. will you go to class? forget it. i'm already late. -"now i look at the walls" "for the first time with longing and affection. " "my innocent childhood!" "i used to sleep in this nursery. " "i woke up happy every morning. " -"the orchard was just... " "as it is now. all, all white!" "oh, my orchard!" chiyo, what happened? -you missed roll call. i just got here. i fell asleep on the train and missed my station. what? you've got to keep it together. -you're the lead. hey, chiyo! you'd better see the teacher. hurry up. why? -he has a meeting. some emergency conference. so hurry up. i didn't know. isn't miss satomi coming? -i don't know. kaori, you go, too. on the double! i'm glad chiyo got here. i've been worried. -she wasn't any good at the rehearsal. let's change. miss satomi was angry. chiyo muffed her lines a lot. nervous? -maybe. she was so good before. she changed a week ago. but everybody gets nervous. you're the except on. -get changed quickly. is chiyo here? sugiyama, too. i saw her in the hallway. why isn't she here? -who knows? she's probably too ashamed to show her face. that's going too far. oh, yeah? yeah. -i don't think so. don't get mad at me. i feel so good. will shin come? i think so. -did you make up? not yet. behave yourself. it wasn't my fault. horiguchi. -check the lighting switch. i think i can manage. no excuses! hurry up! listen, maki. -"i'm on the front line. " i'm broke. i spent all my money and it's the 14th. i have 430 yen to live on for ten days. 43 yen a day. -my uncle took a picture of the baby just as it was coming out... what can you get for 43 yen? why not get a loan? i did. i got my allowance in advance from my parents. -what? ! i borrowed a lot from my sister and brother. sounds like a tragedy. it is a tragedy. -so, reiko, help me out and give me a loan. i'll pay you back. they say you never do. shimizu hasn't changed yet? miss satomi hasn't come back. -you slapped him? when he came to my house, he tried to get fresh. no! yes. so i slapped him. -it was so sudden... he got on top of me. but you've known him over a year. you kiss him, don't you? well, yeah. -it wasn't all his fault. he's a man. so i have to give in? no, i'm not saying you have to- but it'll hurt, right? -it hurts like hell, right? it hurts so much you feel as if you were splitting. you're held tight-immobile... were you and your boyfriend like that? no. -of course not. but i'm ready for it. his family runs a shop. they stay at home all day. whenever i visit him, i meet his parents and grandparents. -that's scary. i'm ready, but the environment isn't- i know what you mean. the environment- chiyo's back. -how was it? the play may be cancelled. no! the cherry orchard could get cancelled. why? -miss satomi was crying at the meeting. what? ! it's true. you saw it, right? -"a performance with such a disgraceful student" "would dishonor our anniversary. " what the hell is that? ! we're no sports club. -she was crying? arguing, too. poor teacher! is it over? not yet. -let's go. to watch? yes. let's go. us, too. -chiyo! your fan club. good luck with the cherry orchard. will you let us take a picture afterwards? in your costume? -please. of course. thank you. jomaru. come on. -again? excuse me. i have to go. shimizu. i'm sorry. -you all right? yes. i'm okay. they went to the meeting room to see the argument. you're a member of the drama club, right? -i'm atsuko nakano's sister. may i see her? sorry. she's out. i brought some ice cream for all of you. -thank you. eat them before they melt. would you like to wait inside? atsuko should be back soon. it's okay. -i just came to bring this. good luck on the play. thank you. thank you. is there room for this in the fridge? -looks like there's enough for everyone. yeah, there is. she doesn't look like atsuko's sister, does she? no... she's beautiful. -when atsuko grows up, maybe she'll look like her. maybe. there's too many. miss shimizu and miss sugiyama, come to the course consultation room. -i repeat. miss shimizu and miss sugiyama, come to the course consultation room. what if it's cancelled? sugiyama! -i'm sorry. atsuko, your sister was here. she brought these. ice cream bars. jomaru, get the rest out of the fridge. -save some for us. i'll be back. you have a sister. she left home before. she's getting married, so she came back. -how old is she? twenty-four. so she'll be a june bride. yes. "june bride". it sounds nice, right? -weddings cost a lot more in june. i don't think so. she's much older than you. seven years. she's your only sister? -she went to school here. did she act, too? no, she didn't. she quit in the second year. quit school? -why? i don't know. i was a little kid then. i heard her arguing with my parents, but i don't know why. -it takes courage to quit. sometimes i hate school, but i could never quit. she's brave. yeah. but she wanted to get dressed up like a russian too. -she told me that. you didn't have to. you didn't have to apologize. but... shimizu and sugiyama, from the drama club. -shimizu and sugiyama. come to the course consultation room at once. will it be cancelled? i don't know. i didn't ever think this could happen. -if we get cancelled, sugiyama's "sorry" won't be good enough. but it hasn't been decided yet. it's possible. and it might really happen. how were the teachers? -i don't know, but... when we saw miss satomi, she was in tears. she said, "next year? they'll be gone then. " that means, no play this year. -i guess so. but how can they cancel it? it's the school anniversary. they always tell us to respect tradition. this play is our tradition. -that's what mr. arita said. did he back miss satomi? he said, "we should do it no matter what. " it sounds like him. he said it just for effect. -he's like that. what counts is how it turns out. that's right. it's not so serious. why all this talk? -sugiyama was to blame, but she apologized. i heard she refused to. maybe she did. she must've apologized or they wouldn't have let her go. of course. -that's right. that doesn't matter. i was surprised to see miss satomi crying. the other teachers said, "there's always next year. " but the seniors won't be here then. -we'll be the seniors, whether we like it or not. and we'll do the cherry orchard on the anniversary. the cherry trees will be in full bloom again... like they are this year... like they were last year, and the year before... -long before we were even born. each year looks the same to sakaguchi. he's been here forever. but the seniors have only this year. and next year will be ours. -we'll have only one year. miss satomi said just that to sakaguchi - crying. but that stubborn old fool would never understand. the cherry blossoms bloom the same way every year. i don't like it at all. -the students come and go. but the blossoms stay here. it's not fair. yet the cherry trees remind me of something. of last year. -what was i doing last year? the cherry blossoms make me recall lots of things. they sure do. they're reminders. so we won't be here one year from now. -it's kind of sad. one year... only one year to go. miss satomi's doing her best - she really is. she's really strict, though. -yes, really a strict director. but after practicing so hard, it'd be a shame not to do the play. next spring, we'll remember how we wanted to do it. let's go ahead. miss satomi's tears can't be for nothing. -her tears? we didn't see her crying. no, but... it's just like a teenage drama. yeah, well, we are teenagers. -no free one for me. me neither. i got a free one. me, too! let's practice. -no one's here. tell me how it happened. how what happened? how you got arrested. it wasn't very dramatic. -the girls form seika high came by and started smoking. then this cop came in and said: "you're high school girls, right?" and he picked us up. you weren't smoking? no, not yesterday. -after all, i'm in the cherry orchard. and anyway, i'm trying to quit. they said differently. they love gossip. i think you're right. -the seika girls are interesting to talk to. they're so ill-mannered. that's their good point? yes. if the teachers stop the play because of you, we'll riot and ruin the anniversary ceremony. -riot? not just a boycott. we'll really riot. we'll demand to do the cherry orchard. but when push comes to shove, i doubt they'd really join me. -maybe i'll lock myself up in a classroom. will you help me? sure. hey! i found them in our room. -give them to me. if those are found, it's goodbye cherry orchard for sure. are they safe with you? sure. i won't let them catch me twice. -you had your hair permed. very becoming. thanks. did the teachers say anything? no. -i hid it. like this. anyway, i didn't get my hair done to impress the teachers. what did kurata say? chiyo. -why do you ask? why? because you wanted her to see it, right? you like her, don't you? what do you mean? -uh- just what i said. i don't know why, but i always thought you- why did you think so? i can't explain, but... i've watched you. -i don't mean you're a lesbian. sugiyama. why did you come here? i wanted to go to a coed school, but my father insisted. but a coed has problems, too. -like when you get your period and have to go to the bathroom and some of the boys notice. it happened to me when i was in junior high. this boy made fun of me. yeah. he grabbed my napkin with a handkerchief. -he kept shouting: "what's this?" what a brat! he was a real jerk. i'll never forgive him, no matter what. he'll always be that nasty little boy waving that napkin. -a boy i know made fun of a girl with big breasts until she cried. he might say now he was just a child back then, but i'll hate him forever. no one says you have to forgive him. that's why you chose a girls' school? i'd say that was the main reason. -about the play... we're going to do it. tell the others. we'll do the play. huh. -shimizu. you can't riot now. too bad? too bad. let's go. -maki, what about the party? the play isn't over yet. after it's over. if everything is all right. i wonder if miss satomi's stopped crying. -the play hasn't been cancelled. what? so it's still on? then say it's still on. sorry. -it's still on. so everyone get ready. did you tell them? so you heard it. i'm sorry. -did you tell them the schedule? not yet. then tell them. have your makeup and costumes on by quarter to. gather in the rear of the hall by ten to. -what time is it now? half-past. wait. kurata. she's watching us. -we can't forget our ice cream bars. this feels so good. this is what cherry blossoms smell like? they're in full bloom. all they have to do now is fall. -sugiyama. to tell you the truth, i didn't think much of you till today. i know. i've envied you. -because you do what i can't. but you got your hair permed. maybe some of your bravery rubbed off. it's true, i do like kurata. she's so honest, so nice. -i'm happy when i'm with her. this is the smell of the cherry blossoms. we'd better go. sorry to keep you waiting. here, i'll take your picture. -no time. the cancellation's been cancelled. you mean, the play's still on? you had me shocked for a second. not "cancelled cancellation. " if the play's still on, say it's still on. -why? they mean the same thing. no! look this way. we were determined. -did you check the switch? the last one. who wants it? what? that was close. -sakaguchi. he's probably still around. what is it? this... this will cover your bust a little. -can i sew it on? i have needle and thread. good. i thought you'd like it. i was big for my age too. -they said i was precocious. sometimes strangers touched me. and so i began walking stooped over. i'm tall, too. the costume is too small. -i thought maybe you didn't mind. or else you'd say something. i wish i had more feminine charm, like you and atsuko. me? -no one ever told me i was charming or cute. people have said i try hard. but that's not the kind of thing i want to hear. finished. what do you think? -well? why me for ranyevskaia? the heroine... i thought you'd play it. what part would you have liked? -lopakhin, gayev... anyone but a woman. i've never done a female role. i can't. i like your ranyevskaia. shimizu. -i wish the play was cancelled. even now, i'm hoping for something awful - an earthquake, a fire, anything to stop the play. hold it! wait a minute. -we can't go in yet. the chairman's still speaking. what'll we do with this? wait here. it won't be long. -what's he talking about so long? about sugiyama. he's not naming names. but he's blaming the teachers for their "failure in guidance" is it that big a problem? -the news is pretty hot. only a day old. wow. they know her name, but say "a certain student of ours". what's the big deal? -yeah, why can't a high school student smoke in a coffee shop? what's miss satomi doing? she's gone. gone? she must have escaped. -she ran away. they bullied her. so wait here for a while. enjoy the view. where're you going? -miss satomi's not here, so i'll talk with shimizu. they bloom every year. "the whole of russia is an orchard. " "the earth is great. " "there are many wonderful things. " -be quiet! yuko! where is she? still on the roof? shimako. -where's kurata? she was in her costume. is she okay? what if she's worse than at rehearsal? nothing can help her. -she's so nervous. she'll be fine. we're talking about chiyo. of course she will. somebody's going to tape the play? -somebody's father? maybe kubota's. maki's? he looks like her. his eyes... -he's her father for sure. they're leaving so soon. is the pta chairman still droning on? he's taking away our audience. miss satomi. -can we go in now? is the speech over? no, not yet. wait a little longer. kaori was looking for you. -she said you were missing. i'm here. you were gone. don't worry about me. worry about the play. -tell her so. where are you going? i need some fresh air after listening to those idiots' hot air. "is leonid back?" "is the estate sold? -i want to know. " "such a calamity - it is so incredible. " "i don't even know what to think. i feel quite lost. " "i feel i could scream out loud this very moment. " -"help me, pyetia. " "help me. " "help me, pyetia. " it's just a joke, right? it's the first time. -it rang before. you think it could be a real fire? then no more play. kurata. sugiyama! -yasuko! you're looking cool. i thought you'd pushed the alarm. you or one of your pals. how did it go yesterday? -my old man beat me up. the cops still got our i.d. papers. when will they return them? how are you? i got in a little trouble, but it's all right. -you said there's this nice girl among your pals, here. sure. your big crush. it's not that kind of thing. you said so. -will she be in the play? yes. a chambermaid. a maid? such a small role? -it's a good one. really? what's your part? her lover, back from paris. see? -gross! anyway, wait in the hall. we were there a while ago. they were talking about you. sounds like you're in trouble. -you sure you're okay? sure. don't worry about me. go on. we've got to get ready. -all right. good luck. did you see her? not really. you didn't? -don't worry. it's okay. how long do we have to wait? fifteen minutes or so. okay. -tell the staff. i've been running all day long. just like i did last year. i know. then i'll be like you next year. -what do you mean? what will i be next year? you'll be one year older next year. well, sure. i'm eighteen years old today. -today's your birthday? happy birthday. thank you. eighteen. starting to get old... -come on, hurry. you're just like a doll. you're just like my sister. aya? i'll call you aya from now on. -not on the stage. duh. i'm varia. i know. hey. -you scared me. go on into the auditorium. anyone can see us from here. nobody's around. you can't tell if anyone is watching or not. -who could be watching? you don't know anything about a girls' school. my cigarettes. and my lighter. give them back to me. -oh, them. yeah, them. the lighter was a gift. i can't lose it. i'll look for them later. -go on to the auditorium. be sure now. all right. it was - forget it. -"so, as we're not likely to meet again," "i'd like to give you a bit of advice. " "don't throw your arms about. " "get rid of that habit of making gestures. " "and all this talk, too, about building villas," -"these calculations about summer residents," "who are going to turn into smallholders. " "when all's said and done, i like you. " "you've slender, delicate fingers, like an artist's. " "a fine, sensitive soul. " -"goodbye, my friend. " "thank you for everything. " "i can let you have some money. " "what for? i don't want it. " -"but you haven't any!" "could you lend me money, just 240 roubles?" "i will pay the interest. " "i have no money. " "you will. -i won't throw my hopes away. " "he cares only about himself. " "240 roubles to pay the interest. " "i really don't have any. " "why not, madam? -it's a small sum. " "all right. leonid, give it to him. " "all right. open your pocket... " -you said it! you said it! "your pocket - " 240 yen? you said 240. -i said 240 roubles. how much are 240 rubles in yen? about 600 pesos. how much yen? why pesos? -let's go. shall we go? come on. go ahead. i'll be right there. -thank you, for this. nervous? a little. nothing can stop it now. so get ready. -i'm ready, but i've got butterflies in my stomach. that's all right. i've got too many lines, long lines. "my childhood! my innocent childhood!" -"i used to sleep in this nursery. " "i woke up happy every morning. " "the orchard was just as it is now. " "all, all white!" "oh, my orchard!" -"after the dark autumn and winter," "you're young and joyous again. " "the angels haven't forsaken you. " "if only this burden could be taken from me. " "if only i could forget my past!" -it'll be fine, right? how about a picture? i brought my camera. where? somewhere bright. -sure. are we in the frame? about here. down to here. i like you, kurata. -is that bad? no. it's not bad. i like you a lot. i really like you. -that makes me happy. say it again. i like you. i really like you. i mean it. -how about another shot? closer? closer. sugiyama! come quick! -the curtain's going up. shimizu and kurata? out there. wait. shimizu, kurata! -it's time! in a minute. jomaru, get rid of these. you had them? they're yours? -uh? yes. i stole one. let's go. it was fresh. -i mean the play. very fresh. i watched the rehearsal yesterday. many teachers have directed it before, but yours was fresh, quite wonderful. mr. nakamura. -i heard you were in a theatrical group. it was nothing. i wasn't an actor. i was backstage. when i was young. -a long, long time ago. we did the cherry orchard, too. a few years after the war. japan was poor then. it was odd to do a play about rich russians. -our friends criticized us... "why not face reality? describe the real japan!" but we could get money more easily for a classic like this. it helped us financially, and we could survive. -and we hoped that someday we'd do a play relating to real life. but later i left the group and the whole theater world. so our annual cherry orchard is special to me - a reminder of my youth. i wonder if shin is here. -i saw him out there. big audience! what a crowd! i'm suddenly nervous. chiyo. -you're beautiful. so tall and slender. you have real style. hello, varia. hello, anya. -hello, mother. hello, madam. hello, doniasha. what are you doing? show me your i.d. cards. -we don't have any. which way is the auditorium? excuse us. wait! oh, no! -enough of this crap. he's not after us anymore. let's go to the theater. where are we? i don't know. -i'm sick of this! caught smoking again. stupid! sorry to have kept you waiting. we will now present our annual founder's day performance of the drama -the cherry orchard by anton chekhov. shimizu. this is your birthday, right? april 14th. really? -congratulations! thank you. let's go. hiroko nakajima miho tsumiki -yasuyo shirashima miho miyazawa aki kajiwara yuki minowa miki shiraishi yumi goto megumi iseri miki kongoji -kayo sugawara mitae nagata masako maruyama koichi ueda mai okamoto koji nambara produced by yutaka okada -planning by naoiya narita screenplay by hiroaki jinno story by akimi yoshida photographed by junichi fujisawa art direction by hisao inagaki -lighting by masao kanazawa sound recording by daisuke hayashi music by mari kumamoto producer kosaburo sasaoka directed by shun nakahara -you mustn't listen to what your younger brother says. i can't think of anyone less an authority on female anatomy. he can see. it's enormous. no, it isn't. -it's hideous. why don't you show me that dress again? it is a bit full here. let me have it. thanks, mom. -tsk. taxi! is this your cab? it's not my cab. is this your cab? -really, it's not my cab. we'll share it. but i don't want it. no, we'll share it. i insist. -that way there'll be no ill feelings. are you going to sally's too? no. well, that settles it. come with us. -that way we'll all be going the same direction. you should come, otherwise we're all gonna freeze out here. come on! hi. i'm nick. -hi, nick. i'm tom. nice to meet you. i'm jane. this is audrey. -hi, jane. of course there's a god. we all basically know there is. of course you do. when you think to yourself... -and most of our waking life is taken up thinking to ourself... - you must have that feeling that your thoughts aren't entirely wasted... that, in some sense, they are being heard. hey, i think it's this sensation of silently being listened to... with total comprehension... hi, sally. you got here so fast. hello! -that represents our innate belief in a supreme being. nice to meet you. we stole his cab. what's his name again? tom townsend. -no, i think it was something else. no, it's tom townsend, i'm sure. he looks familiar. he's the guy that was sitting at the table behind ours without talking to anyone all evening. then, outside, he got the cab that we were trying to flag down. -but he insisted that we take it, so nick insisted that he come along too... so that there should be no ill feeling. what it shows is that a kind of belief is innate in all of us. at some point most of us lose that... after which it can only be regained by a conscious act of faith. you've experienced that? uh, no, i haven't. -i-i hope to someday. actually, it wasn't my cab. i was just there waiting for the light to change when it pulled up. i never take cabs. you never take cabs? -no, i either walk or take public transportation. why? a lot of reasons. so you're one of those public transportation snobs. you look down on people who take taxis. -no, not at all. that's how new york's seen, at least in the popular imagination. i don't think that there is a popular imagination. what do you mean? just that. -i don't think that there is a popular imagination. pomfret. where did you go? farmington. both of us did. -did you know serena slocum there? what? all the guys ask that. serena had an incredible number of boyfriends. at least 20. -she could manage it because they were all at different schools... and she wrote letters incredibly quickly. three in a single study hall. she became really famous. it's incredible how naive some guys are. how do you know serena? -actually, that might give someone the wrong impression. she wrote a lot of guys, but i'm sure she liked some a lot more than others. oh, you think so? i never noticed that. how do you know serena? -i was one of her boyfriends. oh. you must be pomfret. your letters were really good. yes. -what do you mean? they were interesting. serena let you read my letters? no. she read them aloud. -i can't believe it. she only read us the ones that she thought were really good. or really bad. but yours were really good. there was no suggestion of ridicule, if that's what's worrying you. -at least not that i can recall. i remember a long letter you wrote serena about agrarian socialism. i think it was one of the first things to set alice dreyer off about marxism. since then she's joined the red underground army. if she blows herself up, it'll be your fault. -it's actually surprising to see you at something like this. in your letters, you expressed a vehement opposition to deb parties... and to conventional society in general. i take it you've changed your mind. no. i'm just as much opposed to them as ever. -then what made you decide to come tonight? he got an invitation. he's right. i got an invitation and didn't particularly have anything else to do. i think that's the case with almost everybody. -no. nick goes whether he's invited or not. unlike tom, i'm in favor of these kind of parties, and i wanna show that support however i can. it's a bit ridiculous for someone to say they're morally opposed to deb parties... and then attend them anyways. it's... -it's untenable. everyone does. but that's no contradiction. i wasn't trying to. i think it's justifiable to go once, to know firsthand what it is you oppose. -i'd read veblen, but it was amazing to see that these things still go on. you're a marxist? no, i'm a committed socialist, not a marxist. i favor the socialist model developed by the 19th-century french social critic fourier. you're a fourierist? -yes. fourierism was tried in the 19th century and failed. i mean, wasn't brook farm fourierist? it failed. that's debatable. -whether brook farm failed? that it ceased to exist, i'll grant you. but whether it was really a failure i don't think can be definitively said. well... well, for me, ceasing to exist is failure. -i mean, that's... - that's pretty definitive. well, everyone ceases to exist. that doesn't mean everyone's a failure. you really feel that way? i really do. -really? really! tom townsend. it's a fine name. what about tommy? -tommy townsend? it's sounds more u.c. really? what's that? well, we come here all the time, thus the s.f.r. p... . - -sally fowler rat pack. oh. mine and charlie's are too. but that's the ex... - exception though. i mean, divorce is actually comparatively rare among standard new york social types... contrary to what people might think. -well, usually there's something wrong though. dead fathers are a common problem. jane's father's dead. very suddenly, last year. must have been awful for her. -yes. it was tough on him too. that's different though. that doesn't mean a broken home. well, it still means having your mother go out on dates. -my point was that the common image of divorce and decadent behavior... being prevalent among new york social types... is not really accurate. that's more southampton. okay, cynthia, let's cha-cha-cha. it's completely ridiculous. oh, now, the cha-cha is no more ridiculous than life itself. -i don't know how to do it. you must have learned it in dancing school. ah, the cha-cha. i don't think it's possible to forget the cha-cha. i think you're blocking it out. -tom! audrey! tom! audrey! oh! -bob! hi. hi. what are you doing here in the dark? i was just getting a glass of water. -oh. it's gone awfully late. yes. what time do after-parties end? there's no set time. -they usually end whenever people go... or whenever the parents get up. although the last time i was here, over thanksgiving... sally's parents asked us to stay for breakfast. that's amazing. no one stayed except nick. -really? he likes everyone's parents. i don't think i've ever met anyone's parents, except serena's. i once had quite a long talk with her father. what's the situation between you and serena now? -there is none. when did you stop seeing each other? yale game weekend. there are eight million stories out there. give our apologies to them. -oh, it's not necessary. no, i think it is. good night. good night. good night, darling. -good night. thank you. oh, you're welcome. thanks a lot. you're welcome. -we'll see you tonight? no. you should come. hope's a friend of ours. you won't be coming to any more dances? -no. oh, well, that's a shame. it was nice meeting you. thank you. it was nice to meet you. -ciao, sally. ciao! ciao! good luck with your fourierism. thank you. -unless we get a checker, we're gonna have to take two cabs. don't worry about me. i'm gonna walk. really? but it's terribly cold. -i prefer to walk. you'll freeze dressed like that. this is actually very warm. it has a lining. good-bye. -ciao, tom. bye-bye, tom. good night. bye. where are we headed? -he's gonna freeze dressed like that in weather like this. driver, follow that pedestrian. hey, fella! we have a checker. can we give you a lift? -no, thanks. you sure? yep. thanks anyway. that explains it. -a westsider is amongst us. there is a real escort shortage. it's no joke. what was your impression of him? he seemed nice. -i didn't talk to him much. mom, i don't want to seem rude. i know i got up very late. but i'm having what, for me, is breakfast... and i really don't want to think about returning my tuxedo right now. it's just that i think it's getting too late... - -mom, get off my back! it's nearly 6:00. they're going to close. jesus! if i have to pay for another day... - -how much extra will it cost? twenty-five dollars. i'm sorry about what i said earlier. not at all. a girl called. -her number's by the kitchen phone. she said it was a bit urgent. i know it's very late, but we had trouble getting your number. basically, we'd all be going together, although officially you'd be audrey's escort. who? -audrey rouget. the party should be of some sociological interest. peter duchin, the plaza ballroom, et cetera. you think you'll be able to come? um... - -well, actually, there's a bit of an escort shortage. what a mystery. rick von sloneker and serena slocum, still together. seems like months. it has been months. -well, one thing's for certain... - she's lost her virginity by now. how can you say that? you're right. maybe she wasn't a virgin. riffraff. -he's hardly that. oh, you mean because of his title. we're supposed to be impressed by that. on the contrary, i think the titled aristocracy are the scum of the earth. by tolstoy, war and peace... and by jane austen, persuasion and mansfield park. -mansfield park? you've got to be kidding. no. but it's a notoriously bad book. even lionel trilling, one of her greatest admirers, thought that. -well, if lionel trilling thought that, he's an idiot. in the context of the novel it makes perfect sense. but the context of the novel, and nearly everything jane austen wrote... is near ridiculous from today's perspective. has it ever occurred to you that today, looked at from jane austen's perspective... would look even worse? you must be freezing dressed in that. -it has a lining. what kind of lining is it? you gonna wear a raincoat all winter? princeton's south of here. i guess it's a lot warmer. -no, i just didn't know where to get a good overcoat. uh, brooks, j. press, tripler... - actually, i haven't had time to buy one. it's too much of a country club for me. you really shouldn't treat serena that way. -what? giving her the silent treatment. i'm not giving her the silent treatment. i'm not giving her the silent treatment. i just don't have anything to say to her. -listen, i know you're angry with her. you're probably right to be. but it's still not right to treat her that way. i think serena really feels hurt by it. oh, give me a break! -serena slocum, a real feeling? serena's basically a good person. she has feelings like anybody else. i find that very hard to believe. all this is... - is pretty deceptive. -all what? well, i... - i think that... - that... - that we are all, in a sense, doomed. what are you talking about? downward social mobility. -we hear a lot about the great social mobility in america... with the focus usually on the comparative ease of moving upwards. what's less discussed is how easy it is to... - to go down. i think that's the... - the direction that we're all heading in. and i think that the downward fall is gonna be very fast. not just for us as individuals, but the whole preppy class. -where do you get all this? well, just look around. take those of our fathers who grew up very well off. maybe their careers started out well enough... but just as their contemporaries really began to accomplish things... they started to quit... on rising above office politics... or... - or refusing to compete and risk open failure. or not... - not doing the humdrum part of the job. -or only doing the humdrum part. or gradually spending more and more time on something more interesting... - um, conservation, or the arts... where even if they were total failures no one would know it. okay. i guess we all know who you're talking about. i can't deny your point, but... unlike you, i've always assumed i'd be a failure anyway. -that's why i plan to marry an extremely rich woman. pretty depressing. a bit overstated, don't you think? i'm not so sure. "doomed." -even if he were right... it wouldn't be any great tragedy if some of these people lost their class prerogatives. "these people" are everyone i know. and besides, it's not a question of losing class prerogatives, whatever that means... but the prospect of wasting your whole productive life... of personal failure. that's so melodramatic. life is melodramatic, if you look at the whole sweep of it. -i don't know. i think my father considers himself a failure... although i don't think he's one. i guess few people's lives... match their own expectations. i always drink two glasses of water before going to bed anyway. it's great for your complexion. -i thought i should mention i'm putting you on the floor committee for the christmas ball. essentially, all it means is, you'll be able to go on your own rather than as someone's escort... and that you'll get a white carnation for your lapel. thanks a lot, but actually i'm not planning to go to any more dances. you weren't? well, i strongly advise you to change your mind. -is it that your resources are limited? this is about the only economical social life you're gonna find in new york. music, drinks, entertainment, hot, nutritious meals... all at no expense to you. basically, all you need is one suit of evening clothes... and a tailcoat. dances are either white tie or black tie, so you only need two ties. -you rented that from where? a.t. harris. oh, good! you know about harris. they also sell them secondhand, very inexpensively. -it's a good arrangement. thanks a lot. my resources are limited, but actually that's not it. i know. you're opposed to these parties on principle. -yes. exactly what principle is that? well... - the principle that one shouldn't be out at night eating hors d'oeuvres... when one could be home worrying about the less fortunate. pretty much, yes. -has it ever occurred to you that you are the less fortunate? i mean, there's something a tiny bit arrogant... about people going around feeling sorry for other people they consider less fortunate. are the more fortunate really so terrific? do you want some much-richer guy going around saying... "poor tom townsend doesn't even have a winter jacket... -i can't go to any more parties"? that's a bit cynical. this is not just a matter of what you personally prefer. i'll tell you this in confidence. you've made a big impression on these girls... - -oh, come on! no, i'm serious. they like you and are now counting on you as an escort. well, i like them, too, but that doesn't... - i'm not sure if you realize this, but these girls are at a very vulnerable point in their lives. -all of this is much more emotional and difficult for them than it is for us. they're on display. they have to call the guys up and invite them as escorts. and preppy girls mature socially much later than others do. for many of them, this is the first serious social life they've had... and if you just disappear now, they're gonna take that as personal rejection. -give me a break. i'm not entirely joking. you should go. if thorstein veblen were here, he'd tell you the same thing. i'll meet you at 4:30 at brooks, main floor, southwest corner... where the pajamas intersect with the expensive shirts... right across from the undershorts counter. -as a romance, it never really existed. really? i made a classic mistake. i fell in love with serena long before i met her. i'd seen her at a chapin dance, but i didn't really meet her until a year later. -even before we started going out, i'd built up this huge romantic vision about her. it should be just the reverse. you should get to know someone gradually, over time... before the possibility of falling in love even occurs to you. possibly not even then. so the experience has somewhat hardened you? -yes. at least, it's a very bad idea to fall for someone who doesn't for you. yes, but you can't know that you'll feel exactly the same way all the time. i mean, i suppose there will be risk in any romance. i suppose so. -well, this is my building. thanks very much for coming. thank you. you'll come again tomorrow? it'll be as a group. -yes. thanks, mom. i know how tight things have been. things haven't been that tight. i'll pay you back next month. -or in february. has dad called? he's never called here. you know that. i thought maybe his office had. -no. thanks a lot. they're normally this long in the back? yes, sir. uh-huh. -like to try on the tuxedo? okay. here you go. i think i'd prefer one more like the one i rented. that is the one you rented. -oh. i didn't realize it looked like this. i guess it'll be all right. thank you. you haven't seen this? -detachable collar. not many people wear them anymore. they look much better. so many things which were better in the past have been abandoned for supposed convenience. i had no idea anyone wore those anymore. -it's a small thing, but symbolically important. our parents' generation was never interested in keeping up standards. they wanted to be happy, but the last way to be happy is to make it your objective in life. i wonder if our generation's any better than our parents'. oh, it's far worse. -our generation's probably the worst since the protestant reformation. it's barbaric, but a barbarism even worse than the old-fashioned, straightforward kind. now barbarism is cloaked with all sorts of self-righteousness and moral superiority. will you look at this? you're obviously talking about a lot more than just detachable collars. -yeah, i am. why is he so successful with girls then? rick von sloneker is tall, rich, good-looking... stupid, dishonest, conceited... a bully, liar, drunk and thief... an egomaniac and probably psychotic. in short, highly attractive to women. you're completely unfair. -you don't know anything about rick. in fact, he's quite shy. god! he's a considerate and sensitive man. the rest is just a superficial game he plays, a fa? -ade... which you've obviously been taken in by. it's incredible, the eagerness of girls like you to justify the worst bastards imaginable... as being sensitive and shy. but if any guy who really was shy dared talk to you... you wouldn't give him the time of day... - your eyes would glaze over. you're really hung up on rick, aren't you? he must really threaten you somehow. -you're right. i do feel threatened... that i may get a venereal disease from one of the st. tim's girls he's been with. did you learn that from your lovemaking with rick? i hear it can get really rough. hey! -don't do that again. for me, it isn't erotic. what are you looking at? my father's apartment. where? -the fourth floor. corner apartment. that's kate preston's building. have your parents been divorced long? the actual divorce was three years ago... but they were separated for a year before that. -do you see your father much? we have lunch when i'm in town. that's very little. no, actually we have a very good relationship. probably much better than most people who see their father all the time. -it's just that my stepmother is a writer and having us around makes her nervous. i read that lionel trilling essay you mentioned. you really like trilling? yes. i think he's very strange. -he says that nobody could like the heroine of mansfield park. i like her. then he goes on and on about how we modern people of today with our modern attitudes... bitterly resent mansfield park because its heroine is virtuous? what's wrong with a novel having a virtuous heroine? his point is that the novel's premise... - that there's something immoral in a group of young people putting on a play... - is simply absurd. -you found fanny price unlikable? she sounds pretty unbearable. but i haven't read the book. what? you don't have to have read a book to have an opinion on it. -i haven't read the bible either. what jane austen novels have you read? none. i don't read novels. i prefer good literary criticism. -that way, you get both the novelist's ideas as well as the critic's thinking. with fiction, i can never forget that none of it ever really happened... that it's all just made up by the author. one thing i like about him is he doesn't say all the expected things. he doesn't just agree with everything everyone else is saying. that's true. -he disagrees with everything everyone else says. i'm not sure i prefer that. he's quite good-looking though. i think serious guys tend to be better-looking. ow! -the term "bourgeois" has almost always been... - been one of contempt. yet it is precisely the... - the bourgeoisie which is responsible for... - well, for nearly everything good that has happened in our civilization over the past four centuries. you know the french film, the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie? when i first heard that title i thought... "finally, someone's gonna tell the truth about the bourgeoisie." -what a disappointment. it would be hard to imagine a less fair or accurate portrait. well, of course. buñuel's a surrealist. despising the bourgeoisie is part of their credo. -but the truth is, the bourgeoisie does have a lot of charm. of course it does. the surrealists were just a lot of social climbers. i like the french. really? -at least those i met in grenoble. actually, the only girl i ever knew who studied in france stayed over there and got married. so i guess she liked the french too. i'm not sure i like them that much. s.p.s., we used to call him. -never mind. look. i think i'll visit the powder room. what really goes on in there? oh, it's fabulous. -you seem to be in an awfully good mood tonight, townsend. of course, you're in your element here. are you kidding? you're part of it all... - the whole manhattan thing. it's different for those of us from the country. -you're from greenwich. north greenwich. this is your world, not mine. oh, come on. you're part of that whole sally fowler crowd. -doesn't get much more inside than that. not that i particularly care. i don't believe in those things. oh, hi, serena. hi. -hi, tom. how's your brother? fine. tom, i think we should talk. i haven't been giving you the silent treatment. -i just haven't been talking to you. well, i felt it. i love the st. regis. there's all sorts of hidden nooks and crannies. it's really charming. -yes. they'll probably knock it down soon. it hardly explains why you just left me there waiting for you to call... without even a phone call to explain why you didn't show up. i'm sorry it was such a bad time for you, but i don't see how that should make me feel any better. you don't? -well, it always makes me feel better. well, it makes me feel somewhat better, but it still doesn't change anything. it shows that it wasn't intentional. to me, that's an important distinction. things are definitely over with rick. -with some relationships, the breaking up is easier to understand... than how you got involved in the first place. do you think i'd have any trouble getting a cab? you're going already? yes. i'm exhausted. -my mother's doctor's been giving me these vitamin shots. they've worn off or something. oh, fred, something's come up and i've got to go out for a while. would you tell audrey i should be back soon, but if there's any problem i'll meet her at sally's? should i not get back, could you see that she gets there okay? -thought i was gonna puke. i had hardly anything to drink. it must have been something i ate... - those vienna sausages. actually, i was surprised to see you at the dances this week. you used to be so opposed to that sort of thing. -i still am, basically. i went to the first one almost accidentally and that night just happened to fall in... with an extraordinarily nice group of people. otherwise i wouldn't have gone to any more. i'd hardly call nick smith nice. he's a terrible snob. -he's basically a nice guy, i think. his behavior toward rick has been vicious. what did he do? tried to make a big stink about some girl. rick didn't want to talk about it. -apparently it was awful. rick thinks nick could be really crazy. i don't see how... - how anything could happen to him in a hotel. maybe it was the same thing that happened to fred. tom hasn't had much experience in places like these. -maybe he went through one of those fire doors that lock from the inside and shut himself in the stairwell. the fire stairs here aren't like that. i've had to use them when people have forgotten to invite me to their parties. i've never had any trouble. i just don't understand where he could be. -well, that... - that's interesting... because actually there's very little social snobbery in the united states. i mean, it's considered unacceptable. there's almost a national taboo against it. it's looked down upon. that's good, isn't it? -no, i'm not talking about what's good or bad. i'm just making a-a-an observation of fact. well, i think it is good. i can't stand snobbery or snobbish attitudes of any kind. sorry to be so late. -didn't fred tell you? god, audrey, i'm sorry. why? i asked fred to tell you if i didn't get back... - don't worry. -it's nothing. well, where were you? i had to take serena home. she was feeling badly and she was going to go home alone. she's broken up with rick. -it just took longer than i expected. i asked fred to tell you that if i didn't make it back, i'd meet you here. we thought you'd gotten trapped somewhere in the hotel. i'm very sorry. you sound very sorry. -i find it very hard to believe that serena broke up with rick. it was probably the other way around. i'm worried about audrey. she seems to have taken this so hard. i'm a bit surprised. -i had no idea fred was gonna get sick. you know, where... - where do you get off? i mean, you're surprised? you were audrey's escort, yet you blithely left her stranded in the middle of the dance. and then you try to shirk the whole thing off on fred. -i was not trying to shirk the whole thing off on fred. and i wasn't even audrey's escort. we were all there as a group. in any case, i'm very sorry there was a mix-up. there was no mix-up. -well, it wasn't intentional. when you're an egoist, none of the harm you do is intentional. you're going already? yes. i'm really tired. -just a second. i'll get my coat. no, that's okay. charlie said he'd take me. i'd like to. -no, really. don't bother. listen, i'm really sorry about what happened tonight. i thought i'd be back much more quickly. it's not important. -thank you very much. oh, good night. you ready? good night. good night, audrey. -feel better. i never thought of myself as a bastard, an egoist. listen, don't flatter yourself. charlie's standard of polite behavior is so exaggerated. at school he used to individually answer all his junk mail. -i suppose he thought someone's feelings would be hurt if he didn't. i like him a lot, but don't try to understand his thought processes. the summer i met him... - we were 10... - he was trying to establish communications with the seagulls of easthampton. it was utterly hopeless. the easthampton seagulls are complete morons. -we still spent several afternoons approaching shore birds, saying... "we come in friendship." they could not have cared less... - much like his efforts with girls in recent years. great. i'm hated by the preppy st. francis. -i wouldn't worry about it. that's the building where my father lives. do you know kate preston? she lives there. no. -will you look at this? it's incredible, the things some people throw away. steiff stuffed animals. an aurora model motoring set. a derringer. -do you remember the derringer craze? these are the toys of our generation. the childhood of our whole generation is represented here... and they're just throwing it out. maybe we should rescue the electric car set. could really add to these after-parties. -uh, i turn here. oh. see you tonight. listen, don't take this thing with charlie too seriously. no. -see you tonight. my feeling is that what happened last night had no real significance. it was just bad luck that fred got sick. i can't believe you're talking like this. he totally humiliated you last night. -whether i've been humiliated or not is something i can judge for myself. besides, i don't think tom's that way. well, i'm not sure you can judge for yourself. be careful, audrey. there's something dubious about tom. -what? this whole thing about his being a radical when he's obviously not... and being over serena when he's obviously not. everyone has some contradictions. anybody with as many conflicts as tom... even if he seems nice, is better not to get involved with. by those standards, none of us should get involved with anyone. -well, you're probably right, but in this case certainly. tom is the only guy i've ever liked in my whole life. i'm not gonna forget about him because of some apparent inconsistencies. you hardly even know him. i know him very well. -you couldn't. you only just met him. well, i do. i didn't know you sent out christmas cards. well, i haven't in years. -when we moved, do you know what happened to my toys and things? they were put in storage. do you think some of them could have been sent to dad's? it's possible. why? -do you want them? you're a bit old for that sort of thing. no, i just had a feeling they went to dad's. well, why don't you call him then? i have. -there's been no answer. there's something about winter in the city at night, with everyone dressed up... that reminds me of war and peace. really? do you know what i mean? yeah, i think so, though i haven't read it. -well, i don't think "preppy" is a very useful term. i mean, it might be descriptive for someone who is still in school or college... but it's ridiculous to refer to a man in his 70s, like averell harriman, as a preppy. and none of the other terms people use... - wasp, p.l.u., et cetera... - are of much use either. and that's why i prefer the term "u.h.b." what? -u.h.b. it's an acronym for urban haute bourgeoisie. is our language so impoverished... that we have to use acronyms or french phrases to make ourselves understood? yes. u.h.b. -the term is brilliant and long overdue. but it's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it... - u.h. b? wouldn't it be better just to pronounce it simply "uhb"? well, i didn't expect it to gain immediate acceptance. no, no, i think it's a useful term. -the fact that it sounds ridiculous could be part of its appeal. yes. you're so obnoxious. i don't see how you can stand him. you're always complaining about people being frauds and phonies. -well, this guy is the phony of the decade... yet you act like he was your long-lost best friend. tom townsend is hardly a phony... - just mildly deluded. he's a perfectly nice guy. that's just another aspect of his phoniness. he's a complete phony. -and when he's not being a phony, h-he's a bastard. oh, come on. you saw how he treated audrey last night. audrey seems to have forgotten it. she has to act that way. -otherwise, it would be even more humiliating. but i don't have to pretend that tom townsend's a nice guy. you're really gaga about audrey, aren't you? well, if by "gaga" you mean, "do i like her?"... yeah. well, why don't you do something about it then... instead of just going on and on about what a bastard tom townsend is. -what am i supposed to do? declare myself? that would be an absolute disaster. and don't think i haven't thought about these things. yes, rick and serena broke up. -but this afternoon they both went down to washington for holly gilchrist's party. it was holly who was responsible for getting them together in the first place. oh, so she was responsible. how they'll come back... - i don't think that rick is the sort of guy who lets himself be dropped. -ha! what is that supposed to mean? ha! rick really threatens you somehow. how does he threaten me? -maybe by being more of a man than you are. you stupid slut. what has rick done that's so terrible? he is terrible. i shouldn't have to go into all the sordid details. -could you go into a few sordid details? i don't think there are any reasons, except for maybe jealousy. rick makes him feel terribly inadequate somehow. okay, i'll tell you about rick von sloneker. does the name polly perkins mean anything to you? -sounds familiar. she grew up in virginia. a horse fanatic since childhood. went to one of those horsey girls schools... - garrison forest, i think. sometime in her senior year she started feeling depressed. -now, partly it was finally becoming disillusioned with horses. but there were some real psychological problems too. that summer she got a job in edgartown and seemed completely recovered... except for a couple of idiosyncrasies... - she'd only dress in blue... and she wouldn't eat hamburgers unless they were completely well done. any hint of redness and she'd send them back. out of loyalty to her boyfriend in virginia... she'd only go on group dates, never individual ones. -von sloneker met her when he came to edgartown for the regatta. she showed no interest in him at all initially... which makes sense because he's a completely uninteresting guy. but for someone like von sloneker, that's just inciting. so he swung into action with a full rigamarole... about how desperately in love he was with her... how she was the first girl that ever made him feel that way... how it was their obligation to themselves... to do everything they could to live life to the fullest. polly had, meanwhile, quit her summer job and joined his boat for the rest of the cruise. -he now completely ignored her. she, in turn, became obsessed with him. polly was a bit of a masochist and prone to drink too much. von sloneker exploited this to get her drunk... and had her... - do you know what "pulling a train" means? -i don't think so. when von sloneker had gotten her blind drunk one night... he talked her into pulling a train... - him, victor lemley, the other crew member. when she arrived at wheaton for her first semester, she was acting very strangely... always wearing the same clothes... never washing, except just putting on more and more makeup and perfume. she'd remain silent for hours... and then talk obsessively about paul mccartney. after two weeks, she was sent to mclean's for treatment... but was able to go home to virginia for thanksgiving. -the day after thanksgiving, she went into their stables... and killed herself. i've heard about that girl, and it wasn't rick's fault. she was just some girl who had a crush on him, but whom he hardly knew. she'd always had psychological problems and was, in fact, a pathological liar. it was very sad what happened, but rick had absolutely nothing to do with it. -she was carrying his photo when she killed herself. that doesn't mean anything. what an appalling story. yep. not many people could know about it. -von sloneker could hardly show his face around here. you really showed up cynthia. whew. yeah. that's what made it worthwhile for me. -what do you mean? there is no polly perkins. what? there's no girl. i made it up. -you're kidding! i couldn't let cynthia get away with that nonsense about von sloneker. and basically it's all true. i mean, von sloneker's doing those kinds of things all the time. though polly perkins is, essentially, a composite... based on real people, like new york magazine does. -but cynthia said she knew all about her. that was priceless. i think it just shows that von sloneker's doing those sorts of things. but you really do have some factual basis for saying all those things about him? of course, there's a factual basis. -by any chance, would you have any book on the french social philosopher fourier? i can tell he's still obsessed with serena. you're actually much better off not being involved with a guy who's clearly so mixed-up. there's not gonna be good news for anyone for a long time. hi, audrey. -hi! merry christmas. merry christmas. oh, i was talking with tom townsend the other night. he spoke very highly of you. -really? yes, he... - he said you were very... well-read. um, jane? are you familiar with dr. pomeroy's work? who? -girls and sex by wardell b. pomeroy. "the long-needed modern guide to the understanding of girls growing up." quote: "'the most frank and objective book currently available.' library journal. " oh, that. "the years of puberty and early womanhood are difficult, even frightening, for many girls. -"this is the time they most need objective, factual information... and sympathetic advice about their physical and emotional changes." you know, we don't have enough for two tables. there's only seven of us. that's impossible. tom's not here yet. -is he coming? sure. he is coming, isn't he? you didn't call him? i thought there were eight of us. -he would have been the ninth. you told me that he... - well, just call him up. i'm sure he isn't doing anything else. well, surely there's... - there's someone else in new york who can play bridge... other than tom townsend. -i mean, you know, seven can play. what have you got against tom? just one thing... - he's not... - not a good person. oh, what nonsense. oh, all right. -go ahead. call him if you want. i don't care. actually, i don't think tom approves of bridge, but we should ask him anyway. well, have a seat. -then just say you pass. i pass. i couldn't believe you were actually going to play bridge. it's such a cliché of bourgeois life. that's exactly why i play. -i don't enjoy it one bit. i intended to go and got as far as the door. what happened? my mother got upset. she said that she couldn't face being alone on christmas eve... and that it was really important that the family be together then. -my brother never comes home at christmas anymore. so, anyway, i just stayed and had a traditional christmas with channel 11 's traditional yule log. oh, yeah. i think i've seen that. noon on christmas day, every other year, we go to my father's place. -i was a bit reluctant to go this year, actually, because i hadn't been able to get in touch with my father all week. but my mother insisted. it was a real nightmare. first, the doorman at my father's building wouldn't let me up. i guess he didn't remember me there from christmas two years ago. -then there was some confusion and whispering... and, finally, they gave me a piece of paper with a santa fe, new mexico address on it. they told me he'd moved to santa fe. i couldn't believe it. they took me up to the apartment, and except for some paper and litter... and wire coat hangers lying around, it was completely empty. he hadn't told me anything about moving. -it was quite a surprise. that's awful. there must be some explanation. he must have written you or something, and the letter got delayed. i don't know. -and you had such a good relationship. in retrospect, i wonder how good it was. i hadn't seen him since last spring. maybe i was just kidding myself. oh, i've been reading jane austen. -persuasion. i like it. i was surprised. the titled aristocracy are the scum of the earth. what really makes me furious is that you have a whole class of people... - mostly europeans... - all looking down at me. -you always say "titled aristocrats." what about untitled aristocrats? i couldn't very well despise them, could i? that would be self-hatred, which is unhealthy. you're so conceited. well, saying that the titled aristocracy are the scum of the earth... is... - well, is obviously an exaggeration. -but... but it's true that the forces that oblige members of the u.h. b... to at least appear to act productively and responsibly... carries little weight, or none at all... with members of society whose social positions are secure no matter what they do. so you had a trust fund? the pieces are beginning to fall into place. i don't have one anymore. -well, that's less important. i mean, so-so... - sociologically, i mean, what's important is... having grown up with the assumption of material security. it... it explains a lot. i call. -i had no cards. why did you call? i felt like it. playing strip poker with an exhibitionist somehow takes the challenge away. his name is frank goodrich. -he handles some financial things for my father. actually, it's a tremendous relief, not having that hanging over my head anymore. really? there was a big load of guilt that went with it, even though it wasn't that much money... and i never really counted on having it. you're a tragic case. -you've just been robbed, and it's a great relief to you. in part, regarding the money. regarding my relationship with my father, of course i'm concerned. he moves to another state without telling me... he doesn't write or call me for over a month... and basically has me disinherited. obviously, our relationship is not what i thought it was. -geez. it's as if he were incredibly angry with me, but i can't think of why. i don't know what it could be. you don't? no. -one word... - "stepmother." well, i hope i can talk to them and straighten things out. i'm sure nothing you did or said has anything to do with it... and nothing you say or do will change anything. that's awfully pessimistic. it's the way things are. -the most important thing to realize about parents... is that there's absolutely nothing you can do about them. you like it? this is really decadent. this is nothing. something's happened to nick. -it's my head. it's my head. it's my head. there was this guy at school nick liked to imitate saying this. he had taken mescaline, and he went around doing this about his head. -it's my head. it's my head. "it's my head." nick took mescaline? no. -i mean, it was the other guy, voss. we did take mescaline. you what? he shouldn't be reacting this way though. i don't know what happened. -it was really mild. are you joking? it's called truth. you stretch a kleenex over the mouth of a glass and place a dime on it. we each take turns burning a hole in it with a cigarette. -if the dime falls in on your turn, you lose... and you have to answer, with absolute honesty... whatever question you're asked, no matter how embarrassing. yeah. the more embarrassing, the better. what are you reading? the story of babar. -i forgot how beautiful it was. sometimes you can find out the most amazing things. it can really be incredible. i don't think we should play this. why not? -there are good reasons why people don't go around telling each other their most intimate thoughts. what do you have to hide? no, i just know that games like this can be really dangerous. dangerous? i don't see what's dangerous about it. -you don't have to. other people have. that's how it became a convention. people saw the harm that excessive candor can do. you admit that it's basically just a social convention then. -what you say might be true among people who don't know each other well... but surely not with us. then it's even worse. okay. let's discuss this. basically, what this game requires is complete candor... which means honesty, openness. -i don't see how that can be bad. well, it can. well, then don't play, but don't wreck it for everyone else. no, if we're going to play, we all should. that's the whole point. -i think if one of us isn't going to play, then none of us should. i mean, maybe audrey's right. come on. let's not disagree. you're really both saying the same thing... - -either we should all play or none of us should. well, it's really all up to audrey then. well, this isn't fair. if audrey doesn't... - no. -go ahead. i'll play. what now? you get to ask me the most embarrassing question you can think of. i'm supposed to ask you the most embarrassing question i can think of? -uh-huh. what's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you? like who was your most recent conquest? something like that. who was your most recent conquest? -you mean, who did i sleep with last? you don't have to answer that. no, it's okay. i'm not embarrassed. i have nothing to hide. -it was nick. after all that about what a slut she was. but a very attractive slut. so, you're just another hypocrite. that's not hypocrisy. -it's sin. it was hardly that. oh! i have a question. with absolute honesty and frankness... list all the girls you're interested in romantically... in descending order of interest, and why, including significant detail. -i thought that was pretty obvious. i've had a crush on serena, with some ups and downs, for over two years. recently it seems to have developed into something more serious. but who else do you like romantically? i don't think it works that way. -if you're really interested in one person, you're not interested in anyone else. i suppose it's possible, but what's the point? but if that doesn't work out, there must be someone else. if it doesn't work out this time, i'll be off romance for a long time. i suppose this is embarrassing, but it's hardly a revelation. -i'm sorry i asked him that. it was my fault. i always think other people are foolish. i'm the big fool. it's better for her to know the truth. -i don't see how knowing the truth could do anyone any harm. it's not just the truth. it's how and when you learn it. i don't accept that. i mean, you... - you were right about that game. -it's terrible. you know, you may not realize it, audrey, but everyone li... - likes you a lot. thank you, but i find that very hard to believe. it's the truth. and it's not just because you're smart and good-looking and... - and charming and have principles. -it's because they can see that... - that you're a good person. if you want to tease me, this is not the best time. i mean, maybe this isn't the best time, but for some time now, i... - well, i like you very much. i mean, i-i know that you don't yet feel that way, but... - -no, please. stop. doesn't serena look awful here? she's not exactly photogenic. there's one of you and tom. -there it is. maybe cynthia's right. that's impossible. her essential view is experience is good, and she's set out to acquire it. i've been just the opposite. -everything's been in my imagination. all the romance imaginary, nothing real. she's a slut. that's what nick says. he proved it. -that's unfair. i don't think so. i'm catching the dawn train upstate to east aurora. my father's place. it's the first time they've invited me in years. -i can't help wondering why my stepmother's suddenly so willing to have me come. if i should die while there, would you see that there's a thorough investigation... even if it looks like an accident or natural causes? would you promise me that? yes. even if i do return alive, i don't think i'll be attending any more dances after this one. -with everything that's going on, this is probably the last deb season as we know it. i don't want to just hang around, watching the decline. everyone's going tonight? no. just me. -the international is an inorganic debutante ball. the others were natural outgrowths of local uhb formations. this was assembled like a tourist attraction. each girl has two escorts... - one, a cadet in uniform from one of the service academies... the other a civilian like myself. and the whole thing's televised on channel 9. -you're kidding. no. i guess you could say it's extremely vulgar. i like it a lot. and these texas and oklahoma debs are really nice... a real relief from these hypercritical new york girls. -what's everyone else doing then? i imagine they'll be glued to the set. she's cute. but what about the dress? nick said he thought this would be the last real deb season. -how come? because of everything going on. like what? well, everything. the stock market, the economy, c-contemporary social attitudes. -is audrey coming tonight? she said she felt tired and thought she'd stay at home. she can watch channel 9 equally well from there. i'll get it. um, cynthia's coming up with-with rick von sloneker. -oh, she mentioned they might come by. what would nick say? what nick says or thinks i couldn't care less. i'll get it. see you. -hi! hi! this is rick von sloneker and victor lemley. tom townsend. i've heard a lot about you. -of course you have. so, who was talking about me? nick smith? yes, actually. that jerk. -how could anyone take him seriously? he's just a jerk. i think he feels incredibly threatened by you. what a clown. is it true you're a baron? -as a matter of fact, it is. i don't take that sort of thing seriously though. that was audrey. she is coming after all. oh, audrey rouget? -uh-huh. she's getting pretty attractive. what are we watching? oh, the international. in a little bit more than an hour, the, uh, season will be over. -you really take that sort of thing seriously? i can't. one could get the impression you're not a very serious person. who is this guy, some nick smith impersonator? i was already sick of the original. -yeah, tom, cut it out. that's really gotten tiresome. the things that nick said were completely untrue. i'm sorry about last night. i didn't mean what i said. -no. i mean, it was idiotic of me to... approach you that way. i hadn't intended to. no, it wasn't idiotic. miss sabina johnston of tyler, texas... and cadet lieutenant george frawley of our armed services. -hello. hi. i still have a feeling. it's his age. i go away for a couple of hours, and you have von sloneker up here? -i can invite anyone i want. so you invited him. i didn't, but even if i did, it's none of your business. how can you say that? i mean, you know what kind of guy he is. -i don't. it's just what you say, and you're completely untrustworthy. not about something serious. hey, smith! you're a liar. -i've heard the crap you've been telling about me. ah, you have? yeah, about some girl i supposedly mistreated. a polly perkins? there isn't any polly perkins. -you know that. such a girl never even existed. go on. tell 'em. you made it up. -yes and no. oh, god, nick! you did make it up. there is no one polly perkins. there are many of them. -so you admit you lied! polly perkins is a composite, like new york magazine does. name one girl. girls that have been degraded by you don't need the further humiliation... of having their names bandied about nonexclusive park avenue after-parties. you see? -there isn't one. this looks really bad, nick. cathy livingstone. no more harm can be done to her now. i had nothing to do with that, and, anyway, she was completely unstable. -oh, that didn't stop you from boozing her up and then talking her into pulling a train for you and lemley. that is not how it happened. aw, what did happen, ricky? anything that happened between cathy livingstone and myself... is entirely private and entirely personal... and had nothing to do with her suicide, which was months afterwards. she kept trying to call and talk to you, but you wouldn't even see her! -i liked cathy, but sometimes these things don't work out, and a clean break is usually the best. oh, spare us this fake sensitivity. are her panties still in your collection? rick keeps a collection of panties of the girls that he's seduced. oh, when they later kill themselves, do you do anything special to memorialize them? -before you complained that i said it behind your back. now it's that it's to your face. frankly, how can you tell which is which? he had that coming for a long time. how dare he hit me! -he's the scoundrel. i should have thrashed him. well, you missed your chance. i would have if i hadn't been doing my damnedest not to splatter blood all over the apartment. i got back, he was gone. -nobody did anything to help me. i'm facing one of the worst guys of modern times... and all i get's this whining criticism... - "oh, this looks really bad, nick." why should we believe you over rick? we know you're a hypocrite. -we know your polly perkins story was a fabrication. a composite! that you're totally impossible and out of control with some sort of drug problem... and a fixation on what you consider rick von sloneker's wickedness. you're a snob, a sexist, totally obnoxious and tiresome... and, lately, you've gotten just weird. why should we believe anything you say? -i am not tiresome. what's rick to you anyway? your shy friend hits me in the face... i'm about to go upstate to the domain of a stepmother of untrammeled malevolence... very possibly to be killed... and i get this. well, who could blame her? -if not spattering blood was your objective, you weren't terribly successful. well... i'm going to grand central. the people are friendlier. i'll help you with your stuff. -why don't we all go see nick off? even within this group, there are certain standards. apparently, i failed to live up to them. thanks for coming. will you write? -yes. good-bye. thanks for coming. good-bye, sir. good-bye, tom. -good luck. i leave, counting on you and charlie to maintain the standards and ideals of the u.h.b. i've obviously failed to. you and charlie are the only ones who understand this kind of thing. what? -here. thank you. oh. also, you remember, in case i die... - yes. -all right. good-bye. bye. bye. good-bye. -is the 21 club very expensive? that's priceless. and then she told miss radford, "they look awfully big for mice." she believed it? oh, completely. -oh, that's priceless. you mentioned something about it in one of your letters. when i was going through some stuff over christmas, i found a packet of your old letters. you saved my letters? of course. -i save all the personal letters i get. don't you? no. you mean, you threw away all the letters i wrote you? i throw away nearly everything. -i don't want to go through the rest of my life with the mail i got when i was 16. i'm surprised. someone goes through the trouble of writing you a real letter, i save it. people don't write many personal letters anymore. people in boarding school do. -and what if someone who wrote you becomes famous? those letters could be the only record of what they were thinking at that time. crucial for their biographers. anybody who writes me who expects to become famous should keep carbons. it just seems to me that it's a kind of trust. -if someone takes the trouble to write you a substantial letter, you do not throw it out. i didn't save your letters, but i didn't throw them out. i don't understand. is that a riddle? there was a girl at school who had some kind of a crush on you. -she came into my room when i was throwing things out, so i gave her your letters. really? i know it sounds queer. she kept them? mmm. -i'm sure. how strange. she must be really odd. no, she's very nice. in fact, you know her. -audrey rouget. you mean, you think you've gotten over serena again. yes, but it's different this time. then i was still intensely involved with her, though in a negative way. full of bitterness. -i don't feel that way now. charlie's on his way up. damn. there's something i wanted to ask you. oh, yeah. -what was that surprising thing serena told you? well, you probably already knew about it, but i was surprised... - about audrey saving my letters. what letters? the ones i wrote serena. audrey saved them? -god, how queer. well, it's not so queer really. serena was about to throw them out... and audrey apparently didn't think people's letters should be destroyed that way. the really odd thing was though, while i was with serena, who's really nice and who's so good-looking... - yeah, serena's basically a good person. -on the big night i'd looked forward to for a week... i started feeling this incredible loneliness being with serena... and nostalgia for all those conversations with audrey before the big blowup. that was before i knew anything about the letters. i think i preferred arguing with audrey than to agreeing with serena or someone else. i'd only had that calmly unemotional perspective on my relationship with serena for a little while... when i started getting this warm glow at the prospect of seeing audrey here again tonight. -uh-oh. it surprised me because i thought that if... - if it didn't work out with serena this time... i'd put that sort of thing on hold for a long time. people shouldn't get married till their late 20s, and that's a long way off. well, your timing is really awful. -what do you mean? damn. i'll get it. i want to continue this. where's jane? -she's still in her room. what would you like to drink? so you're our host? i don't know. what do people who don't drink have? -ginger ale? ice water? ah, maybe a coke with an aspirin. you don't need to put on pink eye shadow for us. it's not for you. -i've got a date. a date? what's that? it sounds like something from the 1950s. yeah. -who's the fella? none of you know him, and i'd like to keep it that way. what did you mean when you said that about my timing being off? audrey's gone to cynthia's in connecticut for the weekend... and then on wednesday she flies back to france. and besides that, she thinks you're a total jerk. -she hates you. she hates me? well, she despises you. actually, it's a bit my fault. i asked for that truth question with a specific idea in mind... of showing her you hadn't gotten over serena yet. -a mr. andrews is downstairs for you. say i'll be right down. we'll go down with you. no, you won't. we can all go out together. -no. this is a date. well, it seems rude not to go down and check him out. please don't. feel free to stay here. -there's plenty of food and stuff. but it's all right if we stay here and wait for everyone else? sure, but what "everyone else"? well, the rest of the s.f.r.p. you are the s.f.r.p. tonight. -oh, could you be out by midnight? feel free to stay until then though. bye! bye. bye. -bye. be out by midnight? what's going on? jane brings this guy she hardly knows back for some kind of assignation? we don't know that. -well... - i'm really surprised at jane. some guy asks her out, and she abandons everything. the rest of us can, well, just go to heck. the whole rat pack thing seems to have disintegrated. -the rat pack is down to the rats. this is really depressing. let's get out of here. i guess it's understandable that she would prefer to go out on a date... which offers some romantic promise, even if very slight, than stay with us. still, it's a bit disappointing. -i thought we were better friends than that. i wonder whether we're really friends for them at all. we're just way stations between dates. i mean, for them, men are either dates, potential dates or date substitutes. i find that dehumanizing. -that might be the case with cynthia or sally... but audrey, for instance, is completely different. she's someone who would keep up her friendships no matter what. and audrey has a rare largeness of mind. she's not obsessed with her love life. she's good-looking, smart... charming, principled. -it's an unusual combination. i think i'll be going now. i have nothing to say, and i'm completely boring without a drink. it's only midnight. you can't go. -i'm sorry, but without cocktails, staying up all night loses its charm. besides, i haven't had anything amusing to say since i stopped drinking. did you have anything amusing to say before you stopped? i know, but it seemed amusing. now it doesn't. -well, you were asleep. was that it? good night, charlie. ciao, tommy. ciao, fred. -when i was in college, we'd go to dances during christmas vacations. do they still go on? yes. pretty much reduced though. yeah. -ah, well, i wouldn't put much stock in them. you go to a party, you meet a group of people, you like them, you think... "these people are going to be my friends for the rest of my life." then you never see them again. i wonder where they go. -do you think it's true, though, that, generally speaking... people from this sort of background are doomed to failure? doomed? that would, uh, be far easier. no, we simply fail without being doomed. but you feel that you have failed. -yeah. you can still afford to come to places like this though. i'm not destitute. i've got a good job that pays decently. it's just that it's all so mediocre, so unimpressive. -the acid test is whether you take any pleasure in responding to the question... "what do you do?" i can't bear it. you start out expecting something much more, and some of your contemporaries achieve it. you start reading about them in the papers or seeing them on tv. -that's the danger of midtown manhattan... - running across far more successful contemporaries. i try to avoid them whenever i can. but when i can't, they're always very friendly... but inevitably they ask, what am i doing, or think it. i... i find it hard to believe that many people from our background are successful. -aren't you confusing them with people that you might have known from college... who came from normal backgrounds? it's not surprising that... - that an energetic, self-confident achiever... free of uhb illusions... should be successful. uhb? what's uhb? uhb. -u.h.b. it's an acronym for urban haute bourgeoisie. it's a more sociologically precise alternative... to "preppy" and other terms. well, you're partly right. some of the people whom i mentioned were not from... uhb? -that's right. uhb backgrounds, but some of them were. you're going to have to accept that people from our background... are not doomed to failure. i... i wonder if they were typical uhbs. -there was... there was probably some factor which set them apart. and, also, their... - their career is not over. i mean, the failure could still be to come. he seems less pessimistic than you. -i know. it doesn't ring true. look, there's a light on. we can't go up to her place unannounced after midnight. it all depends who's on the elevator. -it's not a question of who's on the elevator. i mean, you've known sally for, what, 10 days? and you're barging in on her uninvited in the middle of the night? she said we should come up anytime we saw the living room lights on, which they clearly are. at least call first. -what, and wake up her parents? well, you act as if her apartment were our living room. it is our living room. what are we doing here? it'll be all right. -what are you doing here? you told us to come up if we saw the lights on. i'm sorry to bother you. i was just about to go out. oh. -just some friends. well, come on in. allen, these are my friends, charlie and tommy. allen is the record producer who discovered the hated few. they're very good. -yes, they are. and sally will be very good. she's got a wonderful voice. i think we also have a friend in common... - rick von sloneker. yeah. -you're a friend of rick's? oh, sure. rick's a great guy. our houses are next to each other in southampton. wow, it's late. -uh, we'd better get going. i don't think there's time for drinks after all. do you have any idea when everyone's getting back? it's as if the whole s.f.r.p. had disintegrated. we can't just keep getting together with the same people every night for the rest of our lives. -i don't see why not. it's inevitable that things get more back to normal sometime. this wasn't normal? no. i wish somebody had told me that before. -could you tell me, at least, when cynthia and audrey are getting back? i don't know. that's their affair. your friend cynthia's gone to that house party at rick's. uh-huh. -i'm not sure if she was really going. you guys are so tiresome. that was really embarrassing. thank you for including me. i can't believe it. -god! maybe, underneath it all, he's a nice guy, but he sure doesn't make a very good first impression. no, not about that. what he said about cynthia. oh. -look, if audrey's supposed to be visiting cynthia in connecticut... and cynthia's in southampton with von sloneker, what does that mean? that audrey and cynthia are in different states. no. there's only one explanation. audrey has gone with cynthia to von sloneker's house party in southampton. -you know, you're always selling audrey awfully short, aren't you? i mean, i find that... - that really despicable. could you stop calling me despicable? i'm really worried about audrey. jane says that since that truth session, she's been in a very strange mood... and said some really odd things. -she told jane she didn't feel like a real woman. she said that? that's the way cynthia talks. yeah. i can't... -i can't really share your concern. i mean, audrey wouldn't put herself in the situation you describe. she's got very, very clear views on these things. i mean, you know that... - that she's a big admirer of jane austen. but she's turned her back on all that. -oh, i don't believe that. she's probably at home, asleep right now... with her pink coverlet tucked up tight and her stuffed animals looking down over her. well, let's call her then. we can't. it's only a local call. -we can't call her up now. it's nearly 3:00 a.m. we'd... we'd wake up her parents. this is important to them too. -what if she's already at von sloneker's? i'm sure he's not asleep. older people tend to get up really early. i'll call the rougets at 7:00. if there's any risk of audrey going out to von sloneker's, i'll give you a call. -but... but i don't expect to have to. could you call me either way? at 7:00? okay. -thanks. you're not such a bad fellow. i'll call you. call me. audrey rouget? -uh-huh. she's getting very attractive. she was the first girl that ever made him feel that way. she thinks you're a total jerk. she hates you. -when you're an egoist, none of the harm you do is intentional. well, she despises you. him. victor lemley, the other crew member. i want to be a real woman. -you're the only girl who's ever made me feel this way. i had nothing to do with that, and, anyway, she was completely unstable. i called audrey's parents exactly at 7:00. it turns out that they're not... - not such early risers. but they... - they thought that audrey was with cynthia in connecticut too. -so i called cynthia's, and her mother answered. apparently, she was sleeping late also. but she said that cynthia was visiting audrey. jesus! well, cynthia borrowed her mother's car. -and the last anyone has seen of either of them... was about 4:00 yesterday afternoon. so they might have gotten to von sloneker's already last night. you were right. but i am authorized to use my mother's card. i use it all the time. -she wasn't very polite. no, she wasn't. that should be plenty. yeah. i can't believe you don't have a license. -of course i don't. i live in manhattan. i'm just really surprised, that's all. oh, give me a break. i don't go out to the hamptons. -you could have gotten one easily. i'm no jock. god, what a disaster. no, i'm... - i'm gonna get a license soon. this must be how the... - the, um, failure starts... - an incompetence in mastering the common tasks of everyday life. -doesn't fred have a license? yeah. okay. bye. he says he can't. -he's about to get fired as it is. he was always saying what a lousy job it was. did you tell him how serious the situation is? yes. he's always complaining about what a lousy job it is. -you know, it's possible that, to other people, the situation might not seem so ominous... as it does to you and me. i i mean, what can really happen? of course, you have been right up till now, and von sloneker is a bad guy... i mean, capable of anything. -it might sound melodramatic to say that he's ruined girls. i mean, what does that really mean today? but it's true. i mean, he's done some unspeakable things. and if audrey's as upset and bitter as it seems, well, then anything could happen. -we gotta get out there as fast as possible. while we sit here, flailing around, anything could be happening out at von sloneker's. if only nick were here. he'd know what to do. yeah, he's got all sorts of licenses and credit cards. -what would nick do? how would he get out of this? you've got a lot of cash on you now. yes. lots. -whenever i think we might be overreacting, i remember polly perkins. or cathy livingstone. i think i knew her. what are you gonna do when we get there? i don't know. -it depends on what the situation is. yesterday i was thinking, maybe fourier was a crank... his ideas completely unworkable. i wouldn't want to live on a farm with a lot of other people. you know, rick's a strange guy. he's pretty violent. -he might not be too pleased to see us. i've thought of that. thanks a lot. we shouldn't be long. well, take as long as you want. -i'm leaving. oh, no. um, we need you to take us back. that... that was understood. -think i'm gonna wait around for you guys? you're crazy. but i... i don't know how we're going to get back. what's this shit? -oh, a gratuity is included. what's this shit? i was sure th-that we agreed on 120 as the full price. hey, look at this. what is it? -looks like some girl's panties. jesus. that bastard. what are you clowns doing here? what are you doing? -this is my place. i can do whatever i want here. that's not true. how dare you break in here? did they break that? -what are you doing here? this is so embarrassing. a little embarrassment could do you some good. and by the way, whose are these? i haven't the slightest idea. -just get out of here, you twerps! they buy them new and scatter them around. it's one of rick's little delicacies. that's a lie. look, get out of here and take this flat-chested goody-goody pain in the neck with you. -she is not a goody-goody. hey! hey! jesus! he's got a gun! -what are you, crazy? i warn you, he's a fourierist. it's only a joke, rick. it's a toy or an antique or something. well, then let the jerk play his little game. -no, it's not that far. it's, like, an hour. or... or maybe two, probably. did anything happen? -of course not. then you were never really interested in von sloneker at all. well, then why did you come out here? to get a suntan. the whole thing with the rat pack was getting claustrophobic. -and cynthia insisted i come. she's terribly impressed with rick. it's not something jane austen would have done. no. i suppose europe is over there. -no, that'd be more brazil. europe would be more that way. are you really going back next week? i guess so. what can you study in france that you can't study here? -french. actually, i was thinking of coming back when the semester ends. i was thinking of going over, though not necessarily to grenoble, but to france or italy. though my resources are limited. there are some awfully cheap airfares these days. -it would seem a shame not to take advantage of them. that's the way i feel. do you really think i'm flat-chested? well, i never thought about it. well, i shouldn't say that. -the thing is, you look really great, and that's what's important. you don't wanna overdo it. gone fishing. the lonesome foghorn blows. oh, dear. -lucy, this is pete martell. lucy, put harry on the horn. sheriff, it's pete martell up at the mill. i'm going to transfer it to the phone on the table by the red chair. the red chair against the wall. -the little table with the lamp on it, the lamp we moved from the corner. the black phone, not the brown phone. morning, pete. harry. she's dead. -wrapped in plastic. hold on a second, pete. where? you stay right there. i'm on my way. -better get dr hayward. tell him to meet up at the packard mill. roust andy out of bed. tell him to get up there now. what is it? -we've got a body up there. lucy, not a word about this to anyone till you hear from me. it's over here. you want forensics first? no, she's been in the water. -we'd better take some pictures. who is she? andy, the pictures. sorry. then we'll turn her over. -same thing as last year in mr blodgett's barn. give me the camera. sorry. is this going to happen every damn time? i'm sorry. -i'm so sorry. why don't you go up to the coroner's van and bring back that stretcher? ok. sorry. harry, let's roll her over. -good lord, laura! laura palmer. laura, sweetheart, i'm not going to tell you again. yes, i am. for goodness' sake. -laura, now means now. laura, honey, are you downstairs? hello. beth, it's sarah. i just went up to wake laura and she's not here. -is she with bobby? she could be. he goes running at 5:00 am and then he goes to football practice. can you find out? can you reach him? -i'll call the school. i've got the number of the field office here. thanks, beth. i wonder if she went out with leland? he had an early meeting. -i'm sure that's it. either that or she's with bobby. sure. i'll call up to the hotel. thanks. -no, bobby hasn't shown up for practice yet today. as a matter of fact, he's been late every day this week, mrs palmer. and last week. maybe even the week before. are they ready to sign? -you're not going to mention that we haven't yet acquired access to the packard land? sorry. we have solid information that the packard sawmill is going to go belly up within a year. we'll be able to get it for a song. one verse, no chorus. -now... let's get out there and get those cheese eaters where they live. benjamin. ...a clean, wholesome environment, much like your own. with a quality of life to rival the very best that this country has to offer. that is what the ghostwood country club and estates will be. -when i first spoke to sven, he was naturally very concerned about the quality of air here. if you'll permit me, sven, to repeat what you said this morning after your run: "my air sacks have never felt so good!" your wife's on the phone again. she said it's urgent. -excuse me a moment, gentlemen. i'll be right back. make it snappy. so here in twin peaks, health and industry go hand in hand. i'll transfer you to the house phone. -thank you. sarah, what is it? is laura with you? no, why? she didn't go with you this morning? -no. honey, what's wrong? what's this all about? she wasn't here this morning. she's probably with bobby. -i can't find bobby. there you are. that's it. let's not worry. they're probably together. -she would have left me a note. she would have told me. honey, take it easy, please. i'm looking for leland palmer. he's right over there on the phone. -sheriff truman. what? who? what did you say? oh, my god. -oh, my god! leland, please. what is it? tell me. leland... -is this about laura? i'm afraid it is. leland, tell me. my baby! we're ready to go with the contracts. -leland, what's wrong? my daughter's dead. what kept you, heidi? i couldn't get my car started. too busy jump-starting the old man? -i thought you germans were always on time. i thought the only time you cared about, bobby, was making time. you heading out, shelly? yeah, i'm heading home. i'm going to practice. -i can drop you on the way. that would be great, thanks. here's a tune for you, gals. norma i'll see you in my dreams. not if i see you first. -don't do anything i wouldn't do. i think she knows about us. norma? fat chance. i think she's hot to try for you herself. -it's happy hour in france. come on, cowboy. light your fire. right, just a little pick-me-up before homeroom. i thought i was your little pick-me-up. -baby, you are more like a three-stage rocket. a pocket rocket. and what stage are we in now? are you sure that your old man is still on the road? yes, he called me last night from butte. -that's a long way away and he ain't got a phone in his truck. quit worrying and start screwing, mr touchdown. butte! back up! i'll call you later. -leland, i'm so sorry. 17 years old. lee, i hate to put you through this. no, i have to see her. i have to see what was done to my little girl. -my baby! that's my little girl. god! let's get out of here. have you seen laura? -no, not yet. nice day for a picnic. bobby briggs, they're looking for you. who is? sheriff is. -well, here i am in school. hey, snake. something's up. where? you think i'm kidding? -what, me worried? bobby, you're wanted in the office. who wants me in the office? right now, young man. watch out. -terry franklin? here. martha grimes? here. donna hayward? -here. audrey horne? here. james hurley? excuse me. -room 106? is there a bobby briggs in this classroom? no, he's in 107. 107. could i speak to you for a moment? -certainly. ...making the announcement. thank you for your time. there'll be an announcement from the principal. i told you. -i got up early like i always do. i went running like i always do. i had breakfast at the rr and i didn't go to practice because i didn't feel like it. why not, bobby? were you upset about something? -you want to tell us about it? look, you guys, what did i do? what's going on? mr wolchezk, there's rumours all over school. maybe it's best if they heard it from you. -mr wolchezk, why don't you go ahead and make that announcement? now? now's the time. excuse me. what is it, sheriff? -what's going on? bobby, you look at me. your girlfriend laura palmer's been killed. she was found just after dawn. she was with you last night. -you weren't where you should have been this morning. have these fellows advised you of your rights? yes, but i didn't know why. laura's dead? yes. -did you understand your rights as they were explained to you? you think i killed her? bobby, you can phone your parents and they can arrange for a lawyer to be with you when we talk again. andy, take bobby out to make his call. i loved her. -and she loved me. because i wasn't at football practice i killed my girlfriend? you are crazy! you get off me. bobby, we're going to talk about this later. -may i have your attention, please. this is principal wolchezk. i am deeply saddened to have to tell you that early this morning your classmate laura palmer was found dead. this is a terrible moment for all of us. for all of us who knew her. -her friends, her family. it is very important that we all try to help each other through this difficult time. the police have asked me to ask each of you if you have any information about laura's activities after school yesterday or yesterday evening, please come forward. i am dismissing all classes for the day, but before we leave i would like to ask each of you to join me in a moment of silence for laura and her dear memory. -you can talk to her now, harry. do you know what time it was when you last saw laura, mrs palmer? what time? yes. it would have been about nine. -yes, nine o'clock pm. she came home from bobby's and she was going up the stairs. those stairs...right there. who's upstairs? your husband and one of my men. -i can tell from the sounds that it isn't her. her diary. do you know where the key to this is, sir? do you have to take that? we'll return it as soon as possible. -did she say anything to you? no. she said goodnight. and i said, "goodnight. "goodnight, sweetheart." -mrs palmer, can you remember... did she make or receive any phone calls? i heard her phone ring once. about what time was that? i don't know who it was. -harry. that was lucy. got a call from a guy who works at the mill, janek pulaski. says his daughter didn't come home last night and she didn't show up at school today, either. two by fours, four by eights. -two by fours, four by eights. did you hear me? you can't do that to my workers. don't walk away from me. come back here. -you're not going anywhere. you're not going to tell anybody anything. catherine, i'm sorry if this offends you, but i'm the owner of this sawmill. you don't knowthe first thing about this mill. -that's why i'm running it. i've never taken this authority before, but maybe i should have. you're not shutting us down. catherine, i have the final say-so. peter, push the plug. -pete, don't you dare. catherine, please. shorty, tell the boys to pull the plug. that's right. may i have your attention. -this is josie packard. i have decided that in light of what has happened, all work here will stop. bitch! this morning, as you know, the body of miss laura palmer... what's your name? -fred truax e. you're fired. just now your co-worker and a friend, mr janek pulaski, has learned that his daughter, one of laura's schoolmates, is missing since last night. today all work here will stop. the mill will shut down. -perhaps you can spend the day with your families. thank you all for your attention. what the hell? laura's dead. yeah, i heard. -she was the one. buy you a coffee? can't do it. if you see donna, could you give this to her? ed! -they said those drapes would be ready by 10:00. i want those drapes up by nightfall. diane, 11:30 am, february 24th. i'm entering the town of twin peaks. five miles south of the canadian border, 12 miles west of the state line. -i've never seen so many trees in my life. as wc fields would say, "i'd rather be here than philadelphia." 54 degrees on a slightly overcast day. weatherman said rain. if you get paid for being wrong 60°/of the time, it'd beat working! -mileage is 79,345. gauge is on reserve. got to tank up when i get into town. remind me to tell you how much that is. lunch was $6 and 31 cents at the lamplighter inn. -that's on highway 2, near lewis fork. that was a tuna fish sandwich, slice of cherry pie and a cup of coffee. damn good food! if you ever get up here, that cherry pie is worth a stop. looks like i'll be meeting up with a... -sheriff harry s truman. shouldn't be too hard to remember. he'll be at the calhoun memorial hospital. guess we'll take a look at that girl who crawled down off the mountain. i'm sure the sheriff can recommend a clean, reasonably priced motel. -that's what i need: a clean place, reasonably priced. diane, i almost forgot. i've got to find out what trees these are. they're really something. -agent cooper? yes. sheriff harry s truman. dale cooper, fbi. pleasure. -good to meet you. have any trouble finding the place? no, no. fine. came out over highway 2 near lewis fork. -stopped at the lamplighter inn. had a slice of cherry pie. incredible. i'll tell you, we're sure glad to have the fbi here. kind of lucky in a way that ronnette stepped out across the state line. -whole town's badly shaken up. sure, it's a nice quiet place. sheriff, let me stop you for just a second. there's a fewthings we've got to get straight. it's best to talk about this up front. -when the bureau gets called in, the bureau's in charge. you'll be working for me. sometimes local law enforcement has a problem with that. we're glad to have you here. sheriff, what kind of fantastic trees have you got growing round here? -big, majestic... douglas firs. douglas firs? can someone get me a copy of the coroner's report on the dead girl? the autopsy hasn't been done yet, but i'll take you down to the morgue when we're finished here. -fine. dr shelvy, this is fbi agent cooper. glad to know you. doctor. how's the girl? -she's in shock, suffering from exposure. can i see her? all right, this way. was she raped? several times. -one perpetrator? we're waiting for the results. is there any connection to the dead girl? same high school. as far as we know, they hardly knew each other. -no connection. i'd like to question her. this girl doesn't even know where she is or if she is. what exactly are you saying? we need a cat scan and we're not equipped for that here. -my opinion? she may have neurological damage. she's not responsive at all. i'd like to examine her fingers. all right. -they've already scraped for particles. that's not what i'm looking for. there's nothing here, not a thing. don't go there. don't go there. -ronnie? ronnette? pull the fish out of the water, big mouth. he's got a big mouth that starts talking to me. harry! -dr jacoby. terrible, terrible tragedy. yes. this is special agent dale cooper. gary cooper? -agent cooper. agent? fbi. right. dr lawrence jacoby, agent cooper. -laura was a patient of mine. you're going to the morgue. do you mind if i join you? yes, i do. why would you want to? -sort of against procedure, doctor. no offence. i thought i could be of some help. you still could be...at another time. i understand completely. -by the way... laura's... laura's parents. they didn't know that she was seeing me. that guy's a psychiatrist? -i have to apologise again for the fluorescent lights. i think it's a bad transformer. that's quite all right. agent cooper, we scraped those nails when we brought her in. there it is. -there it is. my god, here it is! what? would you leave us, please? jim. -would you leave us alone, please? certainly. i need something to grab onto this with. diane, i'm at the twin peaks county morgue with the body of the victim. laura palmer. -diane, it's the same thing. i told you we'd see this again. what have you got there? ring finger, under the nail. let's see what he left us. -it's an 'r'. diane, give this to albert and his team. don't go to sam. albert has a bit more on the ball. ok, cooper, are you going to let me in on what's going on here? -sheriff, we've got a lot to talk about. hi, ed. hey, donna. i'm so sorry. have you seen james yet? -he came by. is he ok? no. do you know where he went? i've already been to the roadhouse. -i don't know, honey. he told me to give you this. what the hell are you doing? i've been looking all over for you. bobby's in a lot of trouble. -he's my best friend. we're going to the police station to be with him. don't tell me where i ought to be! second, laura was my best friend. get in the car. -muffle it, junior. mind your own business. you're on my lot, friend. ed, i'm not your friend. donna, you get to the sheriff's right now. -i sure know howto pick them. you waiting for those drapes to hang themselves? i know howto pick them, too. if james comes around, will you tell him i'm looking for him? you bet. -and donna, you take it easy. that's the videotape we just saw, the one we found in laura's bedroom. at a certain point, i'm going to want to showthis to the boyfriend. you say when. did you complete your forensics? -you bet. all done. no key yet? we're still looking. why not? -diane, i've just opened laura palmer's diary. this is the last entry, dated february 23rd. it reads: "asparagus for dinner again. i hate asparagus. "does this mean i'll never grow up?" and then she's written: -"nervous about meeting 'j' tonight." that's the letter 'j', diane. and that is the last entry. that's something to get started on. yeah, that's one out of 26. one out of 26. -diane, i've just turned back 18 days to day one. taped to the page is a plastic envelope containing a white residue and a key to a safety deposit box. sheriff, we have to very carefully remove this key. we're going to run this envelope. my bet is it will test positive for cocaine. -that's impossible. you ever been surprised before? mr cooper, you didn't know laura palmer. let's get a court order to open the safety deposit box and maybe we'll both find out a fewthings about laura palmer. diane, i'm holding a small box of chocolate bunnies. -lucy. andy, is that you? tell harry we found where... it happened. where ronnette and laura were taken and tortured. -tell harry i didn't cry. andy, are you ok? sweetie? but, lucy it's so horrible. andy, sweetie. -my god. bobby, you have been advised of your constitutional rights. am i correct? yes. bobby, did you kill laura palmer? -no! she was studying at your house until about 9:30 last night? yeah. bobby. yes, sir. -did she drive herself home? yes. you two had a big fight last week, didn't you? so what? if i had a fight with her, if i sang songs with her, if i went skipping rope with her, what difference does it make? -i didn't kill her. bobby, here's howthis works: we ask the questions and you answer the questions that we ask, briefly and to the point. did you shoot this video, bobby? if you didn't, then who did? -did you know laura was seeing someone else? that's what you fought about last week. look at these pictures. look how happy she is. you ever do cocaine with laura, bobby? -i don't do drugs. excuse me, what are you charging my client with? that's right. you're a football player, aren't you, bobby? if you knew who she was seeing tell us. -ask donna, she was with her. i'm asking you. come on, bobby, give me a name. here's a hint: first initial 'j'. no she wouldn't do that to me. -you didn't love her anyway. let him go. julie, the norwegians are signing the contract at four o'clock. when mr horne returns, make sure they do not hear about laura palmer's death. that will blowthe whole deal. -got it? thank you. ok, bob. ok, bob. julie, what would happen if i pulled this out? -you wouldn't. audrey, look what you've done! did they scoff the whole smorgasbord? audrey, don't go in there. i'm hungry. -don't go in there! excuse me, is there something wrong, young pretty girl? they found my friend laura... lying face down on a rocky beach, completely naked. she'd been murdered. -hey, buddy. snake. we're out of here, man. just a sec. donna's still in there. -you straightened her out yet? i don't know what's up with her. forget her. i've got it figured. laura and her. -that cop mentioned something about the letter 'j'. we're looking at some freaking biker and some freaking biker is going to get his head busted open. what's his name? we'll finish this quick. come outside. -robert, i'll be home this evening if you need a sympathetic ear. i don't need any damn sympathetic anything. i have no idea what's going on here. let's just go home. so you were on a picnic, just the two of you? -way up in the mountains, not another soul around? is there some law against having a picnic? donna, this is interesting to me. with just two of you out there, i can't figure out howthese pictures got taken. -that's easy. there was this... hiker that came along, a woman hiker. she had a backpack and we asked her to take the pictures for us. what was her name? i don't think we asked her. -i forgot. donna, who are you protecting? nobody, that's really what happened. does this person's name start with the letter 'j'? she didn't tell us her name. -donna, this is serious business. more serious than laura falling in love with someone other than her boyfriend. much more serious. agent cooper, the sheriff's ready to roll up to the site and i've got something else for you here. you can come on in. -i know laura was your best friend. you've been through a lot today. we're finished for now. go ahead, lucy. tell agent cooper what you heard. -after bobby was taken back to his cell, his parents were standing by the door with his lawyer. bobby was released and he came out and saw his friend mike, who was down by the water cooler, which is near my desk. i pretended to be typing, but i was typing what mike and bobby were saying. they didn't say exactly who it was they were talking about, but anyway here's what they were saying. they said the person we're looking for is a biker. -looks like a hog to me. holy smoke. holy smoke! the norwegians are leaving! the norwegians are gone. -everyone here has gone. not good. you are throwing away the investment opportunity of a lifetime. better that than throw a lifetime away. you stay out of this! -sheriff. diane, it's 4:10 pm at the scene of the crime. here's something we haven't seen before: a mound of dirt, a foot and a half in diameter. on the top is a gold necklace with a gold heart. -correction: half a gold heart. at the base of the mound of dirt is a torn piece of newsprint written with the words, which appear to be in blood, "fire walk with me". sheriff, you and i have got to find out who's got the other half of that heart. mrs horne? -it might help if you talked to johnny yourself. so you think it might help? you can tell johnny one more time that laura isn't coming this afternoon to work with him. or tomorrow afternoon or any afternoon. what is so difficult to understand about that? -it fell down. i knew laura. she was always so nice. when was the last time she came in? i couldn't tell you exactly. -we have so many box es. you don't keep records? we have plenty of paperwork. how long has she had this box? i'd say about six months. -i could check for you. would you, please? and close the door on the way out. "flesh world". man! -there's over 10,000 dollars here. that's a lot of girl scout cookies. here's a page that's marked. there's your connection: ronnette pulaski. -i can't believe it. ...the law enforcement officials emerging from an abandoned railway car... shelly, would you turn the television off? why, leo? i want to see this. -shelly, turn it off. ...escaped her captor and fled to safety, remains hospitalised in critical condition... shelly, sit down here a minute and help me out. what kind of cigarettes do you smoke? whatever's around. -no, you don't. you smoke these. what are these doing here? i pick up different packs from the diner all the time, me and norma. two things, shelly. -when i come home, this house should be clean and i mean clean. you smoke one brand of cigarettes from now on. if i ever see two brands of cigarettes again, i'm going to snap your neck like a twig. you have nothing to worry about with me, darling. -that's right. big ed's gas farm. ed speaking. i'm sorry. i know i promised not to call you there, but i have to see you. -i hurt so bad. it's ok. why don't i meet you at the roadhouse around 9:30? thank you, ed. i'll see you tonight. -all right, sweetheart. i think i saw a cottontail rabbit. must have been a snowshoe rabbit. snowshoe? snowshoe rabbit? -who's the babe? that is one of the most beautiful women in the state. mrs packard. packard sawmill? where's mr packard? -died in a boating accident. andrew packard practically built this town. brought her over from hong kong. left her everything, which didn't exactly please his sister. that's her, the original deep freeze. -who's the glad-handing dandy? benjamin horne, local big-wig. he owns half the town. he's not after her. he's after her land. -who's the lady with the log? we call her the log lady. ladies and gentlemen, if i could have your attention. is this thing on? is this thing on? -hang on, dwayne. thank you, mayor milford. agent cooper. thank you, sheriff. ladies and gentlemen, fbi special agent dale cooper. -one year ago, in a town in the south-west corner of this state, the body of a young girl named teresa banks was found. she had no family. no one came forward to claim her body. it wasn't even news...until today. there are irrefutable similarities, which i cannot discuss, that lead us to conclude laura palmer was the second and ronnette pulaski would have been the third victim of the same killer. -there is a chance the person who committed these crimes is someone from this town, possibly even someone you know. it is vitally important that this not turn into a witch hunt. i would suggest a temporary curfew for those under eighteen years of age. keeping your kids off the streets now may teach them caution that may protect them in the days and weeks to come. i will remind you that these crimes occurred at night. -when i left the house, sarah was sleeping. leland made it through the day somehow. i'm not sure i could have done the same. poor dear, poor sarah. eileen, the brutality...the madness of it. -i know. they're not releasing many details. wisely, i suppose. at the scene where it happened, no one else knows this, they found part of a necklace, half of a golden heart. it was laura's. -they know this because she was wearing it in a video of a picnic they found. i'm telling you this because donna was in the video with her. she won't tell them who shot it or who else was with them, but they think the killer may have the other half of the heart. donna, which do you like better? "the blossom of the evening" -or "the full flower of the evening"? listen to me, this is serious. this is serious, too. i'm going out the window and i need you to cover for me. don't you know there's a curfew? -they announced it on the radio. i know, einstein. that's why i need you to cover for me. i suppose this will include a phone conversation with mike, mr bonehead boyfriend? -no, this is about laura and it's really serious. check. thank you. i'll need to borrow your bike. then, pump some air in the back tyre. -yeah. harriet, don't forget to brush your teeth. actually, now that some time has passed, i like "the full blossom of the evening". hey, snake. -don't take any oink oink off that pretty pig. don't you worry about that. hi, doctor hayward. i'd like to talk to donna. donna's upstairs getting ready for bed, mike. -you're not drinking and driving, are you? we're all pretty broken up about what happened today, sir. besides, bobby's doing most of the driving. i'll see if she wants to come down. would you mind waiting out here, please? -the best-laid plans of mice and men. snake, let's go! where's your sister? dad, i'm going to tell it to you and i'm going to tell it to you straight. harriet! -see that window? later. donna's not here. you mean she snuck out? mike, maybe you have an idea where she might have gone. -oh, we'll find her. don't you worry about that. roadhouse. let's go! sheriff, i've got a call for you from dr hayward. -i explained that you're on a stake-out at the roadhouse, but he still would very much like to talk to you. patch him through. i'm going to patch him through to you now, sheriff. i'm patching you through now, dr hayward. harry, my daughter donna snuck out of the house. -i don't know where she's gone. doc, you rest easy now. i'm going to put out an all points for her. we'll keep our eyes peeled. thanks, harry. -you betcha. lucy, you take care of that all points now. all right, sheriff. of course donna snuck out. meaning what? -how else is she going to lead us to that biker? so all afternoon i've been hanging drapes. drapes? drapes. lots of them. -you know how i feel about you, ed. don't do it for me, do it for yourself. it's tammy wynette time, darling. yeah? what about you and hank? -i told you. i'm going to leave hank. before or after he gets parole? i love you, ed. i'll do what's best for both of us. -when your sweetheart's husband's in the joint for manslaughter, the word "parole" has a nasty ring to it. you know why i'm whittling? ok, i'll bite again. why are you whittling? that's what you do in a town where a yellow light still means slow down, not speed up. -mike and bobby. there's liable to be a little trouble this evening. scottie, mutt and jeff just crawled in. oh, what a wonderful world! looks like sooner than later. -why don't you whistle for a little backup? i see which way the wind's blowing. lucy, get us a backup unit at the roadhouse right away. make that two. and call dr hayward. -tell him we've found his daughter and she's fine. all right, sheriff. donna! why are you sneaking around? everybody's looking for you. -get your hands off me. leave me alone! get your hands off me! get your hands off me. let go of me. -no! that's enough! you heard him. let me go! like that, mr monkey wrench? -you guys got it covered? don't worry, i'll take you to james. joey paulsen. that's a 'j'. no, he's taking her to somebody else. -you want me to follow them at a discreet distance? harry, you're all right. hold on! do you think they spotted us? give me a doughnut. -well, harry, i think we lost them. man, smell those trees! smell those douglas firs. i think i hear them. what's down there? -an old logging road. the only access is five miles back at the packard mill. i told doc hayward his daughter was ok. my fault, harry. thanks, joe. -good luck, james. james, they're looking for you. i'm going to talk to them, but i think they're going to lock me up. why? i don't have an alibi for last night. -i was with her. james, what happened last night? it was kinda like a nightmare. donna, she was a different person. what are you saying? -i'm telling you, there were things she was involved with, things she let herself get pulled into, things she thought you'd hate her for. she said, "there are things about me..." she said, "even donna doesn't know me." i knew her. i knew her better than she thought i did. -donna, she said something about a guy getting killed. who? she didn't say. but she said bobby told her that he killed this guy. oh, my god. -this is why i had to see you. it all makes some kind of terrible sense that she died, that someone killed her. i don't know. i can't explain it. i didn't know whether to believe any of this last night. -i mean, half the time she wasn't making any sense. i couldn't calm her down. i could hardly keep her on the bike. we came to the light at sparkwood and 21, and she... she put her hands around my neck and she screamed she loved me. -i looked into her eyes. they were clear. it was like she was laura again. she was so sad. she sounded so desperate. -then she ran off. i let her go and she died. it's ok. it's not your fault, james. it's ok. -james. it's all right, james. oh, my god. i'm sorry. oh, my god. -i changed my mind. i'm not sorry. james. james. oh, james. -those are sirens. i've got to go to the police. i don't have an alibi. after she left i just rode around. the necklace you gave laura with the golden heart. -you have to give me the other half. why? they found the half where she was killed and think the killer has the other half. if you go there with the necklace and no alibi... what about you? -i'll get rid of it. no. we'll hide it. all right. we'll bury it. -ok. right here. ok. i'll take you home. what goes around comes around. -round and round. that's not joey, that's james hurley. james, stand away from the bike. stand away from the girl. put your hands behind your head. -he didn't do anything! she's probably right. james. he didn't do anything. lucy, get an arrest form ready. -doc, i'm releasing her to you, but i want her back for questioning in the morning. all right, harry. andy, hawk. put james back in number four. james. -it's gonna be all right. you! we'll check on you later. good night, officers. i'm sorry, dad. -donna, after what happened today, i'm sure you understand what you put your mother and me through tonight. but i know you wouldn't have done it unless you had a good reason. we also have another problem facing us, young lady. where's your sister's bicycle? -i left it at the roadhouse. we'll have to go get it. i understand you promised harriet you'd put some air in the back tyre. yes, i did. we're so thankful to have a daughter like you. -a policeman's dream! yup, lucy sets it up for us every night. is everything ok? there's extra jelly doughnuts for agent cooper and there's some extra decaf. you know, andy's been drinking so much caffeinated coffee lately. -thank you, lucy. you can go back to work now and no listening. sheriff, that reminds me. can you recommend a good, inexpensive hotel or motel? it doesn't have to be fancy. -i can get you a good rate up at the great northern. i think i'm going to be here for some time. these motels promise you a good rate, but when you get there it's a different story. all i need is a bed, a bathroom, a telephone, and sometimes a television, in the event i get a chance to knock off early. i can get you a good rate up at the great northern. -sold. well, tomorrow comes early. diane, it's 12:28 am. i'll be staying locally at the great northern hotel. sheriff's getting me a rate. -when you least expect it. hello, sheriff. hey, jo. i understand you wanted to see the sheriff up here. yes, i did. -right over here. he's here again. let's get together and talk about it. all right. all right. -it must have happened about this time 24 hours ago. i'm afraid. run away, marty! run away! that's what you do best! -just like back in new york! i'm right here. but you can't tell that, right? your one in a million friend hopes you enjoy your bigger-than-anyone-else's problems alone good, leave! -i don't need you to help me solve my problems! you know what? you diame dust i can't tell which one's marty! oh, which one is marty? wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah! -i don't care. nice hat, you showoff! marty don't go. giddy-up, giddy-up! look, maurice! -here is the perfect spot for my summer palace! so please fill in all these holes and relocate the riff-raff.. oh, who'd leave a perfectly good head lying around. what a waste. tell me about it. -i'm in my prime here. i'm terminal, you know? probably only have another two days left to live. that's a bummer, man. oh, if i king julien, that's my name only had two days left to live, -i would do all the things i've ever dreamed of doing. like what? i'd love to become a professional whistler. i'm pretty amazing at it now, but i wanna get luck even better, i'd make my living out of it. -you know what else i'd do? i would invade a neighboring country and impose my own ideology, even if they didn't want it! it's easy for you to say, you are a king. yes. and you are only just a sad little head. -but there must be something you want to do before you die. well, there is this one thing. what is it? tell me. well. -no, i couldn't. i mean. what is it? you know, i just never really have the guts to tell gloria,... ...how i think about her. -what is it? please tell me! i don't really have the guts to tell gloria, how i feel about her. i have always felt about her. fine, don't tell me! -oh,... is it a woman? you didn't tell me we are talking about a woman. what are you afraid of? you're a dead man anyway, come on. -yeah. yeah. yeah, you are right. well, you gotta march right up to this woman, right? you look her right in the eye, you lean forward, right? -just a little, or almost all the way. then you let her, like, lean forward, just a little bit until you're just lips' distance away from each other. and then you just tell her, how much you hate her. actually, it's more like love her. oh, you sly dog! -woof, woof! you're a real player, you know that? now listen to me. you gotta rise up. you hearing me? -he didn't hear you. i can't hear you! yeah! good. you gotto rise up. -rising up! yeah! get out of the hole! i'm rising up of the ground! he's rising, maurice. -i'm rising, maurice! rising! you gotto go right up to this woman. yeah! do you feel it? -yeah! you gotto go right up to her face! tell the truth! i'm going to tell her! and then you gotta say: -baby, i dig you.yeah. yeah! i'm going to do it! i'm going to do it! i love that happy little head. -# she love # # moto moto # # she love # # moto moto # # she loves me she loves my eyes # -# she loves me she loves my thighs # # she loves my roundness # # she love that i'm chunky she love that i'm plumpy # # she love my heftiness she love my zestiness # # she love me restlessly she love me forever # -# she love me... # # ...'cause she love me # moto moto before things get too serious, well, i was wondering, if i were to, for example, stay here i'd like to ask you... let your candy lips be the messages to my... ear canal. well i don't know, i have so many questions. -well i promise, the answer will always be yes... unless no is required. ok, so what is it about me that you find so interesting? oh, you're the most plumpenest girl i've ever met. ok. -other than that. let's see. you, well, you know... you're chunky. right. my gosh, girl, you're huge. -you said that. oh, yes right. we don't have to talk no more. gloria! gloria. -melman. melman, i... i want you to meet moto moto. ah, moto moto. yeah, nice to, nice to meet you. -well, i guess i... it's ok, melman. apology accepted. oh, yeah, right, yes. that, yes, that's why i... -good. oh, ok. that's well, that's it then. you good, we're kind of a busy here man. no. -no, that's not it. listen, mototo, you better treat this lady like a queen. because you, my friend, you found yourself the perfect woman. if i was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman, i'd give her flowers every day. -and not just any flowers. ok? her favorites are orchids. white. and breakfast in bed. -six loaves of wheat toast with butter on both sides. no crust, the way she likes it. i'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. i'd spend every day trying to think of how to make her laugh. she has the most... most amazing laugh. -that, well, i mean. that's what i would do, if i were you. but i'm not, so you do it. ok. ok. what? -that was beautiful. anyways, where were we? i'm "huge"? surprised to see me, makunga? well, i'm here to set things straight, like a real lion! -is this real enough for you? how about this? this is for setting me up! this is for stealing my dad's job! this is for humiliating my family! -and making me look like a fool! had enough? sure, fly away! coward. the water. -it's gone. oh no. the watering hole has never gone dry before. we're gonna need a lot more dying holes. how could this happen? -out of my way! what is going on here? ! the watering hole is dried up! there's barely water for one of us! -yes, good observation, shirley. i'm bobby. makunga, what do we do? quiet! listen up! -i'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis. we'll all have to fight for it. fight for it? fight for it? that's crazy. -that's not fair. you'd win! exactly, shirley. i'm bob... sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. -i'm in charge now, thanks to alakay, the dancing lion. please, makunga, this is the only water on the reserve. if you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve. off the reserve? it's too dangerous! -hunters would shoot us! no one leaves the reserve and survives! i left the reserve! and survived. i can do something about this. -looks like a clogged pipe, like we get in new york all the time. i'll travel up river... up river? off the reserve? you? -yeah. i'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water. great! i'd help you pack, but by the looks of that hat, i see you're all set! yeah fine. -go ahead, laugh. laugh your mane off. i'm gonna prove you're wrong.. maybe you should try a little rain dance. zuba would know what to do. -where's zuba? you don't care about us. zuba should be in charge, not you. all right, fine! as an added measure, i will consult with zuba! -marty? hey! marty! marty? marty. -where'd you get the such fruity hat? excuse me! excuse me! hi. is...is marty in there? -anyone seen marty? which one of us is marty? all right. well, if you see him, tell him his friend alex came to say goodbye. goodbye? -don't go. where are you going? can we come? no. no. this is something i have to do alone. -you can't leave the reserve! what are you doing? they'll get your hat. hunters are everywhere! could you leave the hat? -marty! i know you're in there. before i go, i got something i wanna say. you've been a great friend. you've helped me so often to see the bright side of my problems that i never think of you having any. -i wasn't there for you when you needed me. just like back at the zoo. what kind of friend does that make me? a pretty lousy friend, i guess. well i just want you to know that i... -you're one in a million. this is touching. it is touching. so could you please turn around so i can tell you that to your face? that's right. -got you.! i see you in there. yeah yeah you. that's right you, right there. twelfth row, two hundred and third from the left. -that's you, marty. i know it's you. you know what makes you special? these guys are white with black stripes. you're black with white stripes. -you're a dreamer, marty. always have been. you have great taste in music and horrible taste in friends. well, not melman and gloria, but me. ok, i'm in. -no marty, you can't come with me. i don't believe you have a choice. people are out there! you're crazy! come back! -the people will get you! don't lose the hat! bye, hat! any water? no, just more diamonds and gold. -ok. don't give up hope. listen up! i will help you! there's only one way to get your precious water. -i, your beloved king julien must simply make a small sacrifice to my good friends, the water gods, in the volcano! what does that do? what does that do? excellent question. my sacrifice goes in the volcano. -then the friendly gods eat up my sacrifice. "very nice. thank you for the sacrifice." "please have another sacrifice" "no, i've had enough for the day." "listen, i'm gonna be insulted unless you have another." -"i don't want another sacrifice, ok?" "look at you! you look skinny!" "no, i think i've had enough, is that clear!" the gods eat the sacrifice, they are grateful, they give me some of their water, and then i give it to you. -what? does it work? no! i mean, yes. well, maurice? -ah, it's fifty-fifty. yeah! we'll do it! excellent! now... all i need is someone who would like to go into the volcano and get eaten by gods. -any hands! hands, anybody! ok. i need someone, perhaps who has never fall in love, who could look death straight in the eyeball. a real, genuine hero. -i'll do it. melman? hurry up! before we all come to our senses! melman, what is wrong with you? -i'm dying anyways. if there's a chance it'll get you water, it'll be worth it. are you nuts? gloria, i just want you to know, back at the zoo, it was never the doctors or prescriptions that kept me going. it was always you. -seeing you every day. that's what kept me going. melman! wait! melman! -melman! melman! you gonna mope like this all day? don't "hmph" me. listen, zuba. -a miracle happened. our son came back to us. how come that is not good enough for you? what are you saying, woman? we lost him once, zuba. -let's not lose him again. zuba! zuba! get out of here! what do you want makunga? -it's awful. the watering hole is dried up. dried up? that's impossible! there's nothing left! -well, you are the alpha lion makunga. what are you gonna do about it? your son, alakay, he said he could fix it. he's gone up river. off the reserve? -! no! i tried to stop him. i told him it was suicide. but he was determined to prove himself to you. -you stay here, in case he comes back! hurry, zuba! i'm so parched. is this place starting to freak you out? we'll slip in, find the problem. -hunters will never know we were here. why are "we", doing this? look, marty maybe my dad'll think that i'm... i just wanna show him, i'm a real lion. as opposed to a chocolate lion. -i know this may sound hard to believe, but apparently, lions don't dance. what? ! as far as my dad is concerned. as far as people are concerned, you're a huge hit. -that was new york. this is africa. it's a much tougher crowd. marty, marty, this is it! this is the clog! -come on. well, there's the water. marty, stay down. look at that. knit one, purl two. -it's her. is this right? oh, very good. nana, slow down. you're a little tangled, aren't you? -no, don't pull. i'll do it. we need dynamite, do you have any dynamite? oh, snap! i just used my last stick this morning! -savages! evasive maneuvers! serpentine, serpentine! squiggly squid maneuver! zag, zig-zag, zig ziggy zag! -no, no! squiggly squid! etch a sketch! that's too complex! octopus, octopus! -run, marty! i can't leave you here! go get help! squiggly squid maneuver! go! -go! squiggly squid! etch a sketch! etch a sketch! # save us, we love you # -ok. ok, ok, ok. # save us melman # # we love you -melman # # save us # ok, here we go. ok, ok. # melman -we love you # # melman save us # here we go! here we go! -what's all the hoopla about? joe? joe the witch doctor? we thought you were dead! so did i. then i realized i'm covered in brown spots. -so melman's not dying! melman's not dying! oh, no! excuse me, excuse me. melman! -move out! don't do this! julien, stop this! this is crazy! oh, suddenly throwing a giraffe into a volcano to make water is crazy! -yes! please, melman! stop! gloria? you can't do this! -why not? because... you can't do this, melman. first, that hurts. second of all, i've only got 18 hours to live, anyway. -melman, i gotta know did you really mean those things you said about me? of course i did. that's crazy. it is? it's crazy to think i had to go halfway around the world to find out the perfect guy for me lived right next door. -then i guess it's you and me neighbor... you and me for the next 18 hours. i'll take whatever you got. maurice, what just happened? i believe the fat lady has sung. -hey, what's going on here? marty! hey, hey, listen up. alex is in big trouble. we get to get up the river fast. -what about the plane? perfect! come on! the plane won't be fixed until the suits meet our demands. now, about maternity leave. -maternity leave?

no maternity leave. maybe a certain someone wouldn't want these blowing around on the savanna. all right. you get your maternity leave. -finally. where we headed? what's going on? where are we going? oh, no! -please! no! you are not gonna burn me there. no, no, no! this is wrong, -you see? you are survivors. now, how about a nice lion casserole? you can't eat a lion. don't worry, it tastes like chicken. -no, no, no, no. don't listen to her. she's out of her mind, people! i'm from new york city! it's me, alex the lion! -from central park! dad! what were you thinking, son? you got no business being out here! this's it, i want you to stay behind. -they're new yorkers. they're just rude and frightened people. stay back! are you gonna let them get away? what are you doing, son? -the only thing i know how to do. what the heck? hey, i know those moves. alex? it's alex the lion! -from central park! it is alex! only one lion can move like that! this is beautiful. i can't believe it. -how does he do that?

it's nothing, really. they're griping that alakay never went through the rite of passage, blah, blah, blah, so technically speaking, he can't be a member of the pride. it's nonsense. -i forgot about the rite of passage. what is it? what's this rite of passage? a traditional coming-of-age ceremony. young lions earn their manes by demonstrating their skills. -a show-of-skill talent show deal? yeah. strutting their stuff. a performance! i think that's up my alley. -if it's tradition, i want to do it. strut my stuff. earn my mane. i want to be alaki. alakay. -alakay! even better. we will hold the rite of passage in the morning! that's wonderful! good luck, alakay. -where i'm from, we say, "break a leg." that's my boy! i'm a private dancer a dancer for money any old music will do -beautiful, isn't it?

no, but i'm going with a skip in my step and a smile on my face. sure, right, ok. yeah, all right. it's people. -how did you get here? can you help us? we're lost. we're lost too. it was awful. -a flash of black and white and they were gone. they took the jeep! that happened to our jeep too! what do we do? how will we all survive? -no food, no water, no shelter. what are we gonna do? ! you can let nature get the best of you, or you can get the best of nature. gather 'round, children. -we're new yorkers, right? yeah. we survive the concrete jungle! when we need food, we hunt for a decent hot dog stand. am i right? -she's right. when we need shelter, we build skyscrapers. exactly! when we need water, we build a dam. we're new yorkers, for crying out loud! -if we can make it there, we can make it anywhere! i'm coming, king julien! bad fishy! bad fishy! no, shark, no! -sit! why am i laughing?

good! let's get to work. -i'd like to kiss you, monkey man. all right, but you're so darn ugly. remember, little cub scouts, a great dance performance comes from the heart. straight from the heart, you'll never go wrong. sure, mister. -hey, alakay, i just happened to walk by, i thought i'd wish you luck. you're not nervous, are you? nah, it's my thing. in my opinion, the key to this is choosing the right competitor. you mean, this is like a dance battle sort of thing? -like a dance-off? sure. great. i love that. freestyle. -who'd be a good match for me? just to keep things interesting. well, i wish i could help, but that's strictly against our ancient tradition and all we hold sacred. but if it was me out there... i'd choose teetsi. -teetsi. ok. sounds interesting. makunga, right? thank you. -anything for zuba's boy. go get 'em, tiger. shake it out. a five, six, seven, eight. let's go, let's do this. -let us begin the rite of passage ceremony. come on, baby! make mama proud! woman, i'm trying to take... on it, mom! -who will be the first participant?

what's he doing? i know that boy is not dancing. -this is even better than i thought. alakay, turn around! no, pop, it's hop, shuffle, ball change, hip swish, turn around. oh, no. alakay! -are you hurt? yeah, i am. did i... did i win? no, son. how could this happen? -you told us you were a king. a king does not get beat. i am a king. i'm the king of new york. it's my stage name. -like for when i perform. perform? oh, no, this is horrible! alakay has failed the test! who would have ever imagined that today zuba would have to banish his own son? -zuba, no. zuba, yes. sadly, the alpha lion must cast out all failures. then i'm no longer the alpha lion. dad, what are you doing? -dad, no! you can't do this. who could possibly take zuba's place? anyone? someone? -no one? you, sir! i guess not. well, i... this is all very awkward, but i suppose i could carry this tremendous burden. teetsi! -get the hat. as your new leader, i hereby banish alakay! he shall wear this hat of shame and leave the watering hole for a thousand years, or life! whichever comes last. shoo, shoo! -get out of here! you should have told us you weren't a real king, son! you never told me i'd have to fight anybody! what did you expect? ! -i don't know! maybe a little fatherly advice like, "hey, son, it's a fight!" you're a lion! but i never fought another lion! no, i guess not. -you dance! and other stuff! your pal, makunga, set me up back there! none of this would have happened... if you were a real lion. -zuba! yeah, i said it! a real lion. thanks. thanks a lot. -saw. suture. swab. you're in my light, stephen. you have a brown spot on your shoulder. -that's very observant, stephen. as you can see, i'm covered in brown spots. ok! that bone will be good as new in a few weeks. so i don't have to pick out a dying hole? -no, you got your whole life ahead of you. really? go out and grab it by the horns. thank you, dr. mankiewicz! break a leg! -sweet kid. this spot looks like witch doctor's disease. witch doctor's disease? that's the most ridiculous disease i've ever heard of. don't ask. -someone's been knotty. this won't hurt a bit. joe, our last witch doctor, had a spot just like that. and? monday, joe. -wednesday, no joe. wednesday, no joe? i can breathe! thanks, doc! so this witch doctor's disease is a real thing? -you'll find a cure. you've got at least 48 hours! but i've never heard of it. i mean... i don't have any penicillin. -i'll need a cat scan just to get started! have a lion look you over. they'd be happy to. ta-da! he has talent. -stupendous and tremendous. hollah! bet you've never seen that one! knocked 'em dead in new york! let's all give it a try! -let's do it! well, you can try all you want to, but it takes years of practice. you'll never get a tight stream until you build up your lip muscles to the point where you can purse your lips like this. you got it? ta-da! -how did you? you guys got it right out of the box! if you can do it... ...we can do it. it's in our blood! -i always thought i was a bit unique. we are unique! we are like a force of nature! a million points of light! and dark stripes! -exactly the same! exactly the same. looks impressive, kowalski, but will it fly? yes. if we fold it here, here and here. -nice. oh, man. my dad thinks i'm a total loser. i've ruined my parents' lives. that is definitely not crack-a-lackin'. -it is lacking' in the cracking', my friend. i've gotta fix this. so there's... there's something i gotta tell you. hey, guys. -is this place great or what? ! i'd go with "or what." well, i'll tell you what. you're not gonna believe it, but i got a date with moto moto. -who's moto moto? oh, he's so big and handsome and big! know what "moto moto" means? twins? it means, "hot hot." -"hot hot"? when did you start parlez-ing african? it's in my blood. don't worry, you can flirt around with mr. hot pants after i'm gone. melman, why am i the parade and you're the rain? -why are you driving your parade under my rain? maybe i'll parade in another part of town! whoa, guys. main street's mine! well, you can have it! -and you can take your hotee-tot float and mr. hotee moto moto... what are you talking about?

ok, i can't tell you apart. -maybe you could wear a bell or something. a bell? ! ok, not a bell. bell's a bad idea. -how about a t-shirt that says, "i'm with stupid"? i'm not stupid! not you, stupid! him, stupid! you know, while you've been doing the prancing pony with your new posse, -i've been having the worst day of my life. it's always about you, isn't it? my problems are just a little bit bigger than yours. i couldn't tell you apart. so what? -! yeah, fine. run away, marty! run away! that's what you do best! -just like back in new york! i'm right here. but you can't tell that, right?

i'd love to become a professional whistler. -i'm pretty amazing at it now, but i want to get even better, make my living out of it. you know what else i would do? i would invade a neighboring country and impose my own ideology, even if they didn't want it! easy for you to say. you're a king. -yes. and you are only just a sad little head. there must be something you want to do before you die! there is this one thing. what? -tell me. no, i couldn't. what is it? i never told gloria how i feel about her. what is it? -please tell me! i never had the guts to tell gloria how i feel about her. how i've always felt about her. fine. don't tell me! -is it a woman? you didn't tell me it's a woman. what are you afraid of? you're a dead man anyway. yeah. -yeah. you're right. you've got to march right up to this woman. look her right in the eye. lean forward. -just a little, or almost all the way. then you let her lean forward a little until you're just lips' distance away from each other. then you tell her how much you hate her. actually, it's more like love her. oh, you sly dog! -woof, woof! you're a real player. now listen to me. you got to rise up. you hearing me?

her favorites are orchids. white. and breakfast in bed. -six loaves of wheat toast, butter on both sides. no crust, the way she likes it. i'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. i'd spend every day thinking of how to make her laugh. she has the most amazing laugh. -that's what i would do if i were you. but i'm not, so you do it. ok. what? that was beautiful. -anyways, where were we? i'm "huge"? surprised to see me, makunga? well, i'm here to set things straight, like a real lion! is this real enough for you? -how about this? this is for setting me up! this is for stealing my dad's job! this is for humiliating my family! and making me look like a fool! -had enough? sure, fly away! coward. the water. it's gone. -it's never gone dry before. we'll need a lot more dying holes. how could this happen? out of my way! what is going on here? -! the watering hole is dry! there's barely water for one of us! good observation, shirley. i'm bobby. -makunga, what do we do? quiet! listen up! i'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis: we'll all have to fight for it. -we can't fight for it. that's crazy. that's not fair. you'd win! exactly, shirley. -i'm bob... sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. i'm in charge now, thanks to alakay, the dancing lion. please, makunga, this is the only water on the reserve. if you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve. -off the reserve? it's too dangerous! hunters would shoot us! no one leaves the reserve and survives! i left the reserve! -and survived. i can do something about this. looks like a clogged pipe, like we get in new york. i'll travel upriver... upriver? -off the reserve? you? yeah. i'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water. great! -i'd help you pack, but by the looks of that hat, i see you're all set! fine. go ahead, laugh. laugh your mane off. i'll prove you wrong. -maybe you should try a little rain dance. zuba would know what to do. where's zuba? you don't care about us. zuba should be in charge, not you. -all right, fine! as an added measure, i will consult with zuba! marty? hey! marty! -marty? marty. where'd you get the fruity hat? excuse me! excuse me! -hi. is marty in there? anyone seen marty? which one of us is marty? all right. -well, if you see him, tell him his friend alex came to say goodbye. goodbye? don't go. where are you going? can we come? -no. i have to do this alone. you can't leave the reserve! what are you doing? they'll get your hat. -hunters are everywhere! could you leave the hat? marty! i know you're in there. before i go, i got something i want to say. -you've been a great friend. you've helped me so often to see the bright side of my problems that i never think of you having any. i wasn't there for you when you needed me. just like back at the zoo. what kind of friend does that make me? -a pretty lousy friend, i guess. i just want you to know that i... you're one in a million. this is touching. it is touching. -so could you turn around so i can tell you to your face? that's right. gotcha! i see you in there! yeah, you. -you, right there. twelfth row, two hundred and third from the left. that's you, marty. i know it's you. know what makes you special?

no, just more diamonds and gold. don't give up hope. listen up! i will help you! -there's only one way to get your precious water. i, your beloved king julien must simply make a small sacrifice to my good friends, the water gods, in the volcano! what does that do? what does that do? excellent question. -my sacrifice goes in the volcano. the friendly gods eat up my sacrifice. "thank you for the sacrifice." "here, have another." "no, i've had enough." "i'll be insulted unless you have another." -"i don't want another sacrifice!" "look at you! you're skinny!" "no! i've had enough!" the gods eat the sacrifice. -they are grateful. they give me some water, and then i give it to you. what? does it work? no! -i mean, yes. well, maurice? ah, it's fifty-fifty. we'll do it! excellent! -now all i need is someone who would like to go into the volcano and get eaten by gods. any hands! hands, anybody! i need someone, perhaps who has never found love, who could look death straight in the eyeball. a real, genuine hero. -i'll do it. melman? hurry up! before we all come to our senses! melman, what is wrong with you? -i'm dying anyway. if there's a chance it'll get you water, it's worth it. are you nuts? i want you to know, back at the zoo, it was never the doctors or prescriptions that kept me going. it was always you. -seeing you every day. that's what kept me going. melman! wait! melman! -melman! melman! you going to mope like this all day? don't "hmph" me. listen, zuba. -a miracle happened. our son came back to us. how come that is not good enough for you? what are you saying, woman? we lost him once, zuba. -let's not lose him again. zuba! zuba! get out of here! what do you want? -it's awful. the watering hole is dried up. dried up? that's impossible! there's nothing left! -you're alpha lion, makunga. what are you gonna do about it? your son, alakay, he said he could fix it. he's gone upriver. off the reserve? -! no! i tried to stop him. i told him it was suicide. he was determined to prove himself to you. -you stay here, in case he comes back! hurry, zuba! i'm so parched. is this place starting to freak you out? we'll slip in, find the problem. -hunters will never know we were here. why are we doing this? maybe my dad will think i'm... i want to show him i'm a real lion. as opposed to a chocolate lion. -i know this may sound hard to believe, but apparently, lions don't dance. what? ! as far as my dad is concerned. as far as people are concerned, you're a hit. -in new york. this is africa... much tougher crowd. marty, this is it! this is the clog! -come on. well, there's the water. stay down. look at that. knit one, purl two. -it's her. is this right?

you can't do this! -why not? because... you can't do this, melman. first, that hurts. second, i've only got 18 hours to live, anyway. -melman, i gotta know did you mean those things you said about me? of course i did. that's crazy. it is? it's crazy to think i had to go halfway around the world to find out the perfect guy for me lived right next door. -then it's you and me, neighbor. you and me for the next 18 hours. i'll take whatever you got. maurice, what happened?

sure. -great, i loved that. freestyle, put your moves out. who do you thing would be a good match for me? you know, just to keep the things interesting. well... -i wish i could help, but that's strictly against to our ancient tradition and although we hold secret but if i was me out there, i'd choose titsy. titsy, ok?

dad no, you can't do this. who could possibly take zuba's place? anyone? -someone? no one? hey. you sir. i guess not. -well i, this is all very awkward, but i suppose, i could carry this tremendous burden. titsy, get the hat. as your new leader, i hereby banish alakay he shell wear this hat of shame and leave the watering hole. for a thousand years or life whichever comes last. come on. -shoo shoo. get out of here. you should have told us son. you should have told us that you weren't a real king. you never told me that i have to fight anybody. -what did you expect son?

yes. i think this will go very nicely for me when i go out hiking. but i'm afraid you're still banished. we figured you'd say that. -my hand bag. you bad kitty. you deserve this son. welcome to the pride. thanks dad. -but this belongs to you. no, no son, to us. my son, the king of new york! love transcends all differences. we are gathered here today to celebrate such a love. -do you take each other, for better or for worse? for better please. what a beautiful weird couple. that's not gonna last. can i kiss the bride skipper? -no. music. struts? checked. fillets? -checked. diamonds and gold? checked. bye bye. we're gonna miss you. -see you later. we'll be back after the honeymoon in monte carlo. or whenever the gold runs out. take cares. come back soon. -hey you know mom, let them take their time. new york is not going anywhere. right guys? yeah, you're right about that? well, as long as i'm with her. -and you two. i don't care where we're. she has the most amazing laugh. love has no boundaries. well, it looks like you're stucked with us for a while. -dad, what's wrong? i just thought we could hang out a bit and... you got me. i got you son. you got me with my... -you did my thing. you got a background on me. i love it. i got you son. old man is not too bad, hey marty? -marty? who's marty? come on? i don't know marty. don't call me marty. -you can't fool me. i don't see no marty. ain't no marty here. marty, i can look into your eyes, and i know it's you. hey shake the hot thing. -shake the hot thing. shake 'em. shake 'em. shake 'em. shake 'em... -subtitle by snitch company® i always add a touch of nina. and what about the girl? tucked away, not to worry. where are you? -in michigan. i found her. i found nina. i'm completely aware of people's emotions even total strangers, without having to think about it. your jacobson's organ is working? -are you telling me that you've had this procedure done? i have a heightened senese of empathy. someone had to be the first volunteer. no, they didn't. i need you to go back to -roth's lab with me. what happened here? the second stage primate trials injected with my stem cells. they did this to themselves. oh my god. -what about me? you're looking for me? yeah. what are you doing tonight? feel like catching some dinner? -what's the bad news? how do you know i have...? can you smell that i've got bad news? no, whenever you have bad news, you want to feed me. you're just like my mother, david. -we got back the neurology report on the dead monkeys in roth's lab. they all had high levels of methoxytyramine. the byproduct of dopamine, associated with anxiety and paranoia. which means they probably did go nuts and rip each other apart. after, you know, taking out that lab tech. -bob, we've gotta test nina. and you, what about you? you could also, i don't know... bob... -bob, there's a 93% genetic similarity between macaques and humans. those monkeys went crazy 8 weeks after being implanted with your stem cells. nina went through the same procedure. she's not a monkey, david. you know what? -ethically, it's her decision, so. since when are you an expert on ethics? i'm pretty good when it comes to other people... give her a call. she can come have dinner with us. -and i'll talk about it. she went home. to see her dad. she'll be back on monday. mayko! -it's just you and me then. how about that little russian place you keep telling me about? i promise i won't go home with anybody's date. mayko, bob and i are heading out. phone's dead. -come on. mayko? i got my bike. you wanna cab it? streetcar is more environmental. -i'll get my stuff. where is everyone? rachel is checking viral samples for the cdc. carlos said he's staying late to catch up on paperwork. new boyfriend's busy tonight, eh? -ex. really? already? well, if everybody's working late, how come nobody's working? doctor sandström. -yeah. mayko needs you both right away. in bioinformatics. this about the phones? no, the phones are out up and down the block. -i know he's the new lab tech. what's his name? bilal hassan. something's wrong. what the fuck's going on here? -your cell phones, please. we come in god's name. follow our instructions, everyone lives. cell phone. i lost it. -shoot her. found it. regenesis 4x09 unbottled subtitles team norbac bbsiocnarf, dapitch666 -golgi, linwelin, michvanilly version notag 1.0 you. you. have a seat. -sit. take the tape off. you shaved today, dr. sandström? fuck! take hers off, too. -gently. bilal, what are you doing with these assholes? this asshole just did you a favour. now do me one and listen. everyone here is a tiny spec in god's large plan. -now we can all hurt each other or not. it's up to us. if there is a god, i doubt his plan has anything to do with your plan. we need you to do some things, and we will leave, and you will all be unharmed. -do we have your cooperation? probably not. what do you want us to do? open a secure line in norbac's us military science network. we don't have that capability. -you were trained at fort huachuca, arizona, to use the sci-com system. secret scientific communications. what the fuck are you talking... march 3 to march 9, 2003. you both have to enter your passwords. -her first, then you, then her again. please. we'll do it if you let one hostage go. too many bad movies, dr. sandström. alright, fuck you then. -do you want me to make her a double amputee? because i have to be out of here by 6 am monday and you are slowing me down. you blow off her leg, she'll be unconscious in ten seconds. then where will you be? -i suppose you're right. we'll cut her ear off. alright, no wait! stop it! stop! -your password, doctor. mayko, just do whatever they tell you. you're up, doc. it's okay. you both have fail-safe passwords, to alert the system if you've been forced to access it. -please enter the real ones. mayko. press "send". thank you. now i want special biological sciences at fort egan. -do it. "welcome to the us army's division of special biological sciences." "special chemicals. special poisons." "special germs." -guess you guys aren't here about global warming, eh? oh yes, doctor. indirectly. stage two. dr. sandström. -please. wait a minute. fuck! i want you to do a search for strain 751. strain 751 of what? -search. i'm searching. okay, wait a minute. carlos. if you don't like this, you can shoot me. -no, stop, please. you okay? oh yeah. we don't need the tape. they have nothing to say. -sorry about that. thank you. it's okay. take it easy, bob, it's okay. why are my legs shackled? -you're a champion kickboxer. i'm not a champion and you have a gun. this liquid is not dangerous to me or you. i want you to spin out the rna and re-suspend it in 100 microliters of te. what is it? -it is what it is. is it viral? you have one hour to do it. can you at least untie my wrists? there are dozens of 751 strains. -what's it a strain of? look for strain 751 gamma. there are three. which one? i can go home while you decide? -that one. ed-mv. now download the normal and the gamma. ed-mv strain 751 normal... downloading. -ed-mv 751 gamma... downloading. a record of these downloads will be posted. someone will notice them. they're in the middle of a fire drill. -thank you. what are you doing? we use the internet for half of what we do here. now i need you to find the mutations that will allow your colleagues to turn strain 751 into 751 gamma. you want me to do a sequence alignment, find the mutations and then what? -design all the primers? no. we already have all the primers to most of the mutations. you are to identify and design the last one that we need. okay... -it'll take me about 5 or 6 hours. no, it will take you 15 minutes. i have to go to the bathroom. i really have to go. let him go to the bathroom. -i can't wait. use a pail. please. listen, if you want him to work, cut him some slack, okay? what is happening? -fundamentalist assholes. muslims? christian, jewish, what difference? how many of them are there? i saw 3 of them. -the homework's done, they mean business. they had us tap us into the sci-com. god, david! we can't cooperate! we can't help them create something that can kill millions of people. -nobody's gonna die, okay? i have a plan. okay, what? what are we gonna do? they're here because they need us. -yeah. so, if we figure out what they're trying to do, maybe we can screw them up. for now, we cooperate... we can't! we see where they're going. -no heroics. no refusing to do what they say. you two. come on. wait, it's as cold as edmonton in here. -can i get a sweater from my locker? no. just a measly sweater. doc, you can stay here with me. you two, please go with him. -it's gonna be okay, bob. you do as they say. remember you guys, you're scientists. you let the cops be the heroes. you're getting smarter. -let's see how smart you are. wait here. go to him. you are to make one set of primers then use it along with these other 4 sets to make five mutations using this cloning strategy. use this reverse transcriptase and pcr kit. -i know they are both good so there can be no mistakes. well, i'll have to make a dna vector. and what will i use for a template? here's a tube of vector dna. -start making the primer, prepare the vector for cloning. i'll take care of the template. you have eight hours to do it. whatever it is they want, do it. can i at least get my music? -get to work. come with me. bilal, he's a fragile man. you have to be patient with him. i need you to get me 8 flasks of vero cells. -okay, if you're gonna be screening a toxin from a bacterium like e. coli then i suggest ccl-81. but if you're growing some sort of virus, i'd make crl-1587. use vero e6, it's the fastest. okay. -and use 10% fbs. how else would i do it? do it and talk less. whatever you say, bilal, whatever you say. let the police be the heroes. -you're getting smarter. let's see how smart you are. we gotta talk. doc, what would you like in it? i'll take it black. -listen, what's your name? come on, man, just a first name. alright, i'll call you... charles. -charles, here's your problem: what if somebody decides to be a hero? any one of these people can throw this off and you'd never know who. where is this leading? let me help you, alright? -i will make sure that they really do what you say. and then when we're all finished, you can let them go, and if you need a hostage or, you know, someone to kill, you got me. doc, i told you we'd let you all go. our plan works whether you live or die. well, that's reassuring. -do we have a deal? no. want some cheese? hey, doc. let me cut that for you. -can i please listen to my music? it relaxes me. no. hurry up! move! -i can't concentrate. i need my music. get back to your work! idiot! i'm sorry, you scared me! -shut up! move! {\ i'm sorry...} shut up! -okay, but i need my music. i was talking about that. now you need to let me help you if you want to get out of here in time. is it ruined? yes... -hey! okay, doctor. you can supervise your team along with bilal. thanks, chuck. what were you spinning... -quiet! no talking. come, i want to see how bob is doing. i think i've lost the rna pellet when i was drying it. sorry... -stop! stay here. i have another aliquot. don't touch anything. you're running primers, bob? -how many sets in total? don't answer. how am i supposed... you don't have to know everything. i got a little nervous because you're a little nervous. -i'm not nervous. you need anything, bob? dr. sandström. so what are we doing here? he's expecting me to grow vero cells faster than they can replicate. -it is possible with the conditions i've given you. less talk, more work. what are we making? something viral. but what? -carlos is working with rna. bob's doing mutations. wait a sec. what did mayko say? wait, it's as cold as edmonton in here. -do you think i can get a sweater? no, get in there. a measly sweater! "edmonton". "measly". edmonston measles virus? -ah, fuck. oh, they are smart. measles killed more people than aids. tweak it and the bodies will pile up to the sky. we're making the measles genome really nasty. -do you how many mutations bob was making? five! five. he went like this. okay... -what will we do? i'd start with growth rate. i heard about this japanese scientist who wanted to make the measles vaccine infectious, spread immunity naturally. he got measles to grow 100 times faster with one mutation. it was well documented. -alright... one. next change will be stealth. something that would allow the virus to become less detectable by a vaccinated host. what would you tweak? -come on. i would mutate the... dominant epitopes in the f, h and n proteins. okay great. now everybody who is inoculated can get it too, right? right. -add something to make measles more deadly. how much would it take? virulence? one mutation. that's what they took from fort egan. -they can get the rest off the internet. david, we can't do this. we can't cooperate. listen to me. we can kill him with what i have on the shelf. -what about the other two? there are five of us, two of them! with two machine guns. we take his weapon. you ever fired a gun? -hundreds of times. we cannot make a highly contagious killer measles. david. weaponized measles. no, we can't. -okay, i gotta get alone with bob. i'll pull on my ear, you create a fuss. okay. bilal! who's watching them? -! i am! from where? out here? we're on schedule. -we're all good. how are you doing here? great.{\ good.} never do that again. -good. here's the template. get going. cloning this many dna fragments will take at least a week. no. -it's a new variation on the mutagenesis protocol. you'll be able to insert multiple point mutations at once. they were on to this in san diego. somebody slipped you the protocol? something like that. -sorry, where were we? let's start here. bilal! i have a problem! oh, shit. -no, hang on a sec. okay, listen. five mutations, but i bet you're only running primers for one set, right? they already had four set and i'm synthesizing the fifth. i've no idea know what happened. -it was the bunsen burner and i... get her out! ow, let me go! it may be a virulence gene to weaponize edmonston measles. what do you think? -i dunno. it wasn't in our viral database. because they got it from fort egan. jesus. stop! -get away from me! here's what i want you to do. the normal genome is on our database. we can figure out which one of the primers has mutation and exclude it. without it, the polymerase will only replicate the normal gene. -exactly. do it. leave me alone! you get your fucking hands off of me! one move, then i'm gonna hurt you. -you let go. okay. carlos! stay where you are! go back! -get the fuck back! i'm a doctor, let me attend to her. bilal. the fire's out. it looks like she started it on purpose. -get up! get her up! take it easy. take it easy. if you can't work... -we don't need you. do you understand? i'm the virologist. so? get her out of my face. -you're a virologist, too, doctor? i'm a molecular biologist. but an expert in the spanish flu, no? we makin' the spanish flu? do her work. -go. now. any problem with her, you shoot them both. you understand? yeah, you're right, it's cold as edmonton in here. -finished with the pcr? you're fast. i work better when i have music. now start cloning the dna. how's rachel? -set up the cells. yes, sir. you okay? yeah. we're weaponizing measles. -david, when he comes back, we take his gun. bob's out there. they put a gun to his head, we'll cave. this isn't caving? bob is only synthesizing one set of primers, okay? -we're right, it's for virulence. i told him how to mess it up. we'll be giving them the world's most contagious measles and no one will die. david, that is a very big "if". i think i'm right. -if you're wrong, you're going to have 3 very pissed off terrorists. how the fuck will they know? what cleared bilal for security? he was born and raised in belgium. us citizen. -dhs and rcmp cleared him. that's ammonium hydroxide in those bottles. when he comes back, throw it in his face, we overpower him... i prefer not to anger armed men! they're going to kill us! -you don't know that! if and when we fight back, we are gonna have one chance, alright? we do it when... recovered? never better. -come. i need you to do a viral prep. here are your instructions. this how they do it in pakistan? i don't know, never been there. -you know, there's a problem, i'll need to talk to bilal. start with the transfection. use nucleofector 6 in a ratio of 1 to 7. what happens when this is all over? you go home. -yeah but we've seen your faces. won't matter. show time. come on. get up. -you too. you. wait a minute. if you want to test that, you test it on me, chuckles. no. -her. she's the best virologist here! yes. what we asked you to make, it's right? we followed your instructions. -then i don't need her, do i? test it on me. come. test it on me! no wait! -test it on me! all of you, move! you too. all of you, let's go! is this the real thing? -i don't know. is it? what we asked you to make? yeah. then take it. -in a few hours, i'll know whether or not you were telling the truth. then i'll let you go. if she takes it, she'll be ok, right? bob? i did what david told me to. -then hopefully it's harmless. question is, does rachel know that? no, i'll make the others sick. that's why i brought you here. you'll be in quarantine. -now take it. i'll be dead. take it and you may die tomorrow. don't take it, and you will die now. shit! -what? i think bilal was sequencing the measles. he'll find out we didn't do the last mutation. fuck! listen. -i don't know what the hell you had us make, but i bet i'd rather die from a gunshot than from that. inhale it. shoot me. i'm not taking it. -take it! fuck you. i'm not gonna take it. i am going to count to three. count. -one... i'm not taking it. two... shoot me. now! -three! i believe you. i believe it's real. thank you, you're free to go. bullshit. -you don't need me anymore. you don't need any of us. turn around. turn around. god! -maybe... maybe it was... maybe it was... a warning shot. yeah, maybe... my god, they're gonna kill us all. -no, they're... they're just testing it. they wouldn't kill rachel, right? they'd wait at least 12 hours. she's okay, i'm sure. -i mean, would you kill your guinea pigs? right? now's the time, guys. now's the time. shit. -they took out the ammonia hydroxide! what do we do now? if you're planning a rebellion, you should know: the building is wired with explosives. is rachel okay? -hurry up! up! i said get up! i said up! we gotta go! -come on! you got one second. bob, get the gun! get the gun! weapon please. -let him have the gun, bob. slowly. i have news. bilal has sequenced the genetic mutations that we asked for. five out of five. -perfect. good work, gentlemen. to your health. what the fuck is going on? they're using themselves as a delivery system. -but we didn't do the last mutation. maybe bilal made a mistake. maybe we did. gentlemen. we will speak only the language they understand. -death. then they will stop the invasions. iraq, palestine, lebanon, afghanistan. -and with this unbottled, we will spread justice. and we will be rewarded in paradise. we're leaving. finish them off, get rid of the bodies before sunrise. you have done your work. -now you will be rewarded. now they'll think you're all dead. who the hell are you? they're gone. it's over. -what did you say? i'm an undercover agent. i need to confirm a reservation. the name is smith. smith! -that's right, smith. where's rachel? is she dead? why didn't you stop them? we didn't know who the other 5 in the cell were! -my orders were to wait until they all got here, alright? their plan was to fly to london, moscow, tel aviv, new york, tokyo. in 25 weeks, measles would've killed more people than aids did in 25 years. would have if the virus was harmless? -i saw! i saw... that you sabotaged the mutation, but we didn't know if you would. you could have stopped this! you used us. i had my orders. -you're alive. and millions won't die. do not move! drop your weapon and move forward! you ok? -shit! hey, baby. you okay? yeah. i just had this crazy nightmare. -come back to bed. i gotta get a glass of water. you stay warm. maybe it's too soon. oh, no. -believe me. i am glad that you are here. it's only been a month. i'm fine, rach. you want some water? -no, thanks. i don't know why i'm having these nightmares. guilt. because of wes. no, no... -where is wes anyway? he never comes to work anymore. wes is in sweden. yeah... and i died in the lab. -you really have to learn to say good-bye, david. i just... i just need... some time alone is all. are you drinking? not nearly enough. -enuka okimba. i don't mind sleeping with the boss. fine by me. then i accept your job offer. you can never keep your personal life separate from your professional life, and then you leave the rest of us picking up the pieces. -ms. tran? please, our daughter has a aplastic anemia. her bone marrow doesn't work. she's dying. please, just read this report. -we have nowhere else to go. if humans follow the same timeline as the monkeys, in a week, possibly two, nina may begin to experience the same violent tendencies. nina, did i wake you? no! -what's happening? papa. mama. mom! i told you to take out the same pair of socks as onii-chan's. -did you say that? i'm having breakfast with the irie-kun. it's so strange. the irie-kun i once loved is having nattou and miso soup. this is really something else! -kotoko-chan? did you sleep well last night? yes. isn't he? sorry about that. -not at all. he's a chef after all. i know he works late into the night. he must be tired from all that's happened too. that's right. -a lot did happen. i don't want it. my new house collapsed from a level-2 earthquake due to faulty construction. we'll be living in my dad's friend's house for a while. and over there... -naoki. nice to meet you. a lot sure did happen. thanks for the meal. so finish all your food! -please go together with onii-chan. okay. let me go! i wanna go too! we're going now. -okay? i wanna go too! you'll be intruding. this is so awkward. i wouldn't have given him the letter. -hey. yes? don't tell anyone that we're living together. don't talk to me at school either. what the hell was that! -? we apologize for the crowded trains. shoudou. i've never seen such a rush hour crowd before. my bag is so far away. -it's hard to breathe... irie-kun looks so calm. the doors will be opening from the left. wait! the doors are now closing. -please be careful. i'm getting on! irie-kun! wait! no rushing please! -irie-kun? i don't believe it. please wait behind the white line. i made it on time... hey! -i told you not to talk to me. so couldn't you have held the door for me... at the very least? i hate absent-minded girls even more than stupid ones. ice... ice runs through his veins! -i hate mid-terms. i'm giving up this time too. i'm in trouble if i fail again. you seem rather spirited. i'm gonna do it this time. -i'm going to beat irie naoki! that's a really funny one! kotoko! the gods will get angry even if it was a joke. i'm serious. -are you all right? you're acting weird! but the number one in tokyo! he might even be japan's number one genius! enough! -i'm feeling that level of determination. i'm going to get on the notice board! only the top fifty students are listed. do you understand the situation? never in history has there been an f-class student in the top fifty! -i'll change history then! i know i have no chance of beating him. i'll get my name on the same board as him. no... i don't get it at all. -where should i start from? i don't even know what i don't understand! yes? you're awake? i brought you a snack. -oba-sama. it's really yummy! isn't this great? i really feel like a mother now. onii-chan doesn't study at all. -i can't even make a snack for him like this. he doesn't study? ! irie-kun is the top student in school! don't you think? -he's rather unadorable like that. what's he doing now? he's fast asleep. he really is a genius! you should ask him to teach you the parts you don't understand. -i wish i could. would you like to take a short break? i'll show you something really interesting. is that irie-kun's? i've always wanted to show this to someone. -irie-kun when he was young... huh? she's so cute! right? that's onii-chan. -it really does look like... i really wanted a girl. i was so sure that i would give birth to a girl. all i bought were girl's clothes. i was rather shocked when onii-chan was born. -i didn't want to buy new clothes. i dressed him up in girls' clothing until he was old enough to protest. he's extremely bitter about this. i wonder if this is the reason behind his cold attitude. yuuki doesn't know about this either. -please keep this a secret. of course! that irie-kun has... kotoko. where are you staying now by the way? -at my dad's friend's place. which area? i suppose. you don't say! that's nice. -where in setagaya? i'm not really sure. i guess i have to keep it secret. aihara-san. bring your bag and come with me. -it seems that my mother put the wrong ones in. i was wondering why mine was so large. i think they exchanged something. i can't hear what they're saying. don't tell me that he changed his mind and now wants to ask kotoko out? -no way! that would be incredible though! dumbass! mix-ups happen because we go to the same school. that's right. -irie-kun. on my father's father's side. please, join me. thank you very much. lady charlotte prentice. -lady charlotte prentice. that's lovely. tease. excuse me? five-letter word, makes your hair stand up. -right. look at that. it's the key to the whole thing. listen, would you like to, get some dessert? there's this wonderful italian-ice place down by the water. -i hear it puts la châtillon's sorbet to shame. sounds good. nice hook. now let's see if you can land her. here's a $20. -can you play something romantic? something to kind of mix it up a little? he's one of yours. very nice. setting the mood. -all right, you got that second address yet? yeah, i'm in. there's not much here. no wall safe. i'll check the computer and the hard-copy files. -let's just sit right over here. that was a mistake. the ice plus the shade will give her a chill. game over. nice meeting you. -let me... clever boy. always thinking ahead, aren't you? eliot, there's nothing here. it's just a front. -there's not even a computer to hook up to the monitor. hang on a second. there's a portrait. it's lacey. she signed it: -"thanks for everything. heart, julie." but... facial-recognition app confirms it's her. eliot, that is our first solid lead. if lacey signed that photo, she's touched it. -that's my thinking, too. grab the photo. we might be able to tell something from it. we're close to being done. yeah, i got it. -it still only says: "thanks for everything. heart, julie." here you go. it's best to keep the ball right in front of you, always. -sweet. how did you arrange that? did you ever play catch with your father? no, we went to fenway pretty much every year, went to a lot of games. he loved baseball. -you had that, at least. we sat there, in the stands with our gloves, waiting for a foul ball. then he was just... he wasn't jimmy. he was my dad. -he didn't give me much, but he... he gave me that. it can't have been all bad if he passed on his passion, even if that passion's for a sport that's not quite cricket. cricket? what? i know my cricket. -give me a batsman, a couple of balls, and you'll see if i can't outstump him. you really are beautiful. meredith is off comms. i'm here. is sophie ready? -we need to analyze that portrait. meet me at the car. time to get a move on. so, that's what you have been doing. listen. -i picked you. i didn't pick the others. hardison, parker, eliot... i picked you. all right? -i am impressed. seems we have terms to discuss. a new partnership to celebrate. excellent. where should we meet? -my car's just right over... get in. looks like meredith's car is headed for the marina. i can track the gps, but nate's still off comms. i don't like it. -this woman's left a lot of bodies in the road. nate's not a mark. no, it's perfect. he gets close to meredith, gets access to her files, while we all... get all csi on the picture. -try that one. try that one. it's lacey. it matches a christine valada. look, it says lacey/christine's address is just a few minutes from here. -it's sunday. i bet she's home. let's pay christine valada a visit, shall we? parker, slow down! so, 75/25, that your best offer? -take it or leave it. you put it like that, i'm all-in. this is it. nice boat. it was my late husband's. -permission to come aboard? granted. this is not what i expected. me neither. hi, there. -hi. christine valada? yes, that's me. what can i do for you? also lacey beaumont wellesley? -i didn't... please! i didn't contact him, i swear. please tell me you haven't hurt walt. we're not here to hurt anybody. we're here to find you. -wellesley sent us. don't you think we should get a photo to commemorate this momentous occasion? plenty of time for that later. now, i have a feeling that you know as much about your champagne as you do your whiskey. i find it useful to be conversant. -it would be remiss of me not to mention that i already have a partner. san gui. yes, i hear you prefer that to oscar. well, well. so, you told meredith you were done. -you wanted out. once i'd sent her $2 million, i figured she'd allow me to go my own way. you underestimated her greed. i underestimated her fear. -my falling in love with a mark meant she could no longer trust me. she thought you were gonna tell your husband everything. if i so much as contacted walt, he'd meet with some terrible accident. just like her late husbands did. she was right. -i would have told him the truth. i just hadn't gotten up the courage yet. do you let them hate the real you or love the fake you? you're saying you didn't know anything about her killing these guys going in. i didn't put it all together until they threatened me with walt. -i'd never have joined her crew if i'd known. hand them over. there you go. there. here we are. -guys, we have a mayday situation. nate's comm just went online and off again. his gps is dead, too. you fbi? no, i'm not a fed. -i'm a thief. thought if i could get close to your files, i could maybe, use your marks or one or two of your girls to start my own scheme. his last-known coordinates were the marina. and the waterproofing problem is still unsolved. the comms still go out when they're submerged in water. -you with me. as good as you are, you're not nearly as good as you think you are. it's obvious you don't have what it takes to do what i do. what do you think i'm lacking? ruthlessness. -you're far too vulnerable and open. i've watched you with the duchess. you're half in love with her, falling prey to the techniques you employ. you mean falling in love. there's no such thing as love. -sorry. olly olly oxen free. you're good. so i've been told. i never suspected you at all, not for a moment. -of course not. as good as you are, you're not nearly as good as you think you are. i destroyed his ear bud before i said that. how did you... i heard you go over. -if not you, then who... come on. fisticuffs? really? all right. -what do you want, 50/50? 60/40? i wasn't lying when i said i was after your records. i'll never give them up. but you already have. -as good as you are, you're not nearly as good as you think you are. good. it's all there, all the data. i'm e-mailing it now to nate. right now, all your details are being sent to every rich and powerful mark you have on file. -and your fingerprints... been forwarded to the authorities, just in case they want to look into the deaths of those late husbands. if i were you, i'd start running. now. shall we? let's get out. -true love does exist. may it always prevail. hear. slainte. looking for a miss devereaux. -that's me. and a parker. these ones? that's for you. there you are. -thanks. i take it all back. every word. you are romantic. they're beautiful. -it eats flies. a plant that does something. that's nice. thanks. should i feed it mice, like a snake? -they're my favorite. it's got teeth. smell. they smell nice? it doesn't really smell. -i don't recognize this number, which means you shouldn't be talking to me. a call to arms, mr. ford. in my dealings, i've discovered an innocent who's been wronged. an engineer's invention was stolen by a corporation. if your team acquire the patent, you can prove the company owes millions. -you make investments ahead of time, bet against our opponents. a finder's fee. you punish. i profit. it sounds tempting, latimer, i'll give you that. -something i want, no downside. problem is, i've made that offer a hundred times to a hundred marks. i know a con when i spin one. no, thanks. we could have been friends, mr. ford. -i don't need any friends, latimer. you wouldn't take the job. you do that, it's war. war it is, then. it's fine. -everything's fine. nothing's wrong. it's all fine. excuse me, what day is it? saturday. -saturday. good. good. i like saturdays. so i just met rose tyler? -yeah. but she's locked away in a parallel world. exactly. if she can cross from her parallel world to your parallel world then that means the walls of the universe are breaking down, which puts everything in danger. everything. -but how? thing is, doctor, no matter what's happening, and i'm sure it's bad, i get that. but rose is coming back. isn't that good? yeah. -what the hell was that? don't know. it came from outside. but we're in space. how did it happen? -what did you do? we haven't moved. we're fixed. it can't have. no! -tardis is still in the same place, but the earth has gone. the entire planet! it's gone. give me a cigarette. right now. -confirm all stations still online. can anyone hear me? have we got contact with unit base... what was that? emergency systems online. -was it some sort of earthquake or... get the system operational... jalandra, are you all right? yeah, i'm okay. is anyone hurt? -we've lost power. someone get the lights back on. dacosta, see to it right now. suzanne, are you okay? martha, look at the sky. -why, what is it? just look at the sky! whoa, what happened? is it the rift? gwen, ianto, you okay? -no broken bones. slight loss of dignity. no change there, then. the whole of the city must've felt that. the whole of south wales. -i'm gonna take a look outside. a little bit bigger than south wales. luke, are you all right? it felt like some sort of cross-dimensional spatial transference. but it's night. -it wasn't night. it was 8:00 in the morning! mr smith, i need you! i wish you'd stop giving that fanfare and just tell me what happened! sarah jane, i think you should look outside. -i'll think you'll find the visual evidence most conclusive. it's gone dark. it's them aliens, i'll bet my pension. what do you want this time, you green swine? dad... -look, you get back inside, sylvia. they always want the women. no, dad, just look. oh, my god! look at the sky! -that's impossible. that's just impossible. it can't be. right, now we're in trouble. and it's only just beginning. -but if the earth's been moved, they've lost the sun. what about my mum? and granddad? they're dead! are they dead? -i don't know, donna. i just don't know. i'm sorry, i don't know. that's my family. my whole world. -there's no readings. nothing. not a trace. not even a whisper. oh, that is fearsome technology. -so what do we do? we've got to get help. from where? donna, i'm taking you to the shadow proclamation. hold tight. -the united nations have issued an edict asking the citizens of the world not to panic. so far there has been no explanation of the 26 planets which have appeared in the sky. but it's an empirical fact. the planets didn't come to us, we came to them. just look at the stars. -we're in a completely different region of space. we've travelled. do you know what? i look up and there's all these moons and things... have you seen them? -do you see them? what was i drinking last night? furniture polish? ianto. time and a place. -yeah, it's funny, though. gwen, come and see. rhys, i have no idea. just stay indoors. can you phone my mother? -tell her... oh, i don't know. just tell her to take her pills and go to sleep. i'm gonna come home as soon as i can. i promise. -i love you, you big idiot. someone's established an artificial atmospheric shell, keeping the air and holding in the heat. whoever's done this wants the human race alive. that's a plus. twenty-seven planets, including the earth. -no, but what's that? that's not a planet! the reading seems to be artificial in construction. some sort of space station, sitting at the heart of the web. they're fine. -maria and her dad, they're still in cornwall. i told them to stay indoors. clyde's all right, he's with his mum. sarah jane, i have detected movement. observe. -spaceships. tracking 200 objects. earthbound trajectory. geneva is calling a code red. everyone to battle positions. -dr jones, if you're not too busy... i'm trying to phone the doctor, sir. and? there's no signal. this number calls anywhere in the universe. -it never breaks down. they must be blocking it. whoever they are. we're about to find out. they're coming into orbit. -i'll take you on! yeah, you, mate! the end of the world, darling. end of the stinking world. have one on me, mate. -right. you two, you can put that stuff down or run for your lives. do you like my gun? we're now getting confirmed reports of spaceships. the pentagon has issued an emergency report. -dad, come and see. they're saying spaceships. did you find her? no. no, there's no reply. -where are you, donna? ...and stay indoors. where are you, sweetheart? 3,000 miles and closing. but who are they? -martha jones, voice of a nightingale. tell me you put something in my drink. no such luck. have you heard from the doctor? not a word. -where are you? new york. oh. nice for some. i've been promoted. -medical director on project indigo. did you get that thing working? indigo's top secret. no one's supposed to know about it. i met a soldier in a bar. -long story. when was that? strictly professional. 1,500 miles, boys. and accelerating. -they're almost here. i'm receiving a communication from the earthbound ships. they have a message for the human race. put it through. let's hear it. -exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! -exterminate! no. exterminate! exterminate! oh, no. -exterminate! what is it? who are they? do you know them, jack? exterminate! -exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! no. exterminate! -there's nothing i can do. exterminate! exterminate! i'm sorry. we're dead. -exterminate! exterminate! oh, god, you're so young. exterminate! exterminate! -exterminate! exterminate! get out of here! come on! this way. -come on! dalek fleet in battle formation. all systems locked and primed. crucible at 90% efficiency. the human harvest will commence. -battle stations! geneva declaring ultimate code red. ladies and gentlemen, we are at war. supreme dalek on the bridge. soon the crucible will be complete. -we have waited long for this ultimate destiny. now the daleks are the masters of earth. daleks are the masters of earth! so, go on, then. what is the shadow proclamation anyway? -posh name for police. outer-space police. here we go! sco bo tro no flo jo ko fo to do. no bo ho sho ko ro to so. -bo-ko-do-zo-go-bo-fo-po-jo. mo ho. time lords are the stuff of legend. belong in the myths and whispers of the higher species. you cannot possibly exist. -yeah. more to the point, i've got a missing planet. then you're not as wise as the stories would say. the picture is far bigger than you imagine. the whole universe is in outrage, doctor. -twenty-four worlds have been taken from the sky. how many? which ones? show me! locations range far and wide. -they all disappeared at the exact same moment, leaving no trace. callufrax minor. jahoo. shallacatop. woman wept. -clom! clom's gone! who'd want clom? all different sizes. some populated, some not. -but all unconnected. what about pyrovillia? who is the female? donna. i'm a human being. -maybe not the stuff of legend, but every bit as important as time lords, thank you. way back, when we were in pompeii, lucius said pyrovillia had gone missing. pyrovillia is cold case. not relevant. how do you mean, cold case? -the planet pyrovillia cannot be part of this. it disappeared over 2,000 years ago. yes, yes, hang on. but there's the adipose breeding planet, too. miss foster said that was lost. -but that must have been a long time ago. that's it! donna, brilliant! planets have been taken out of time as well as space. put this into 3d. -now, if we add pyrovillia and adipose iii. something missing. where else, where else, where else? lost, lost, lost, lost. oh! -the lost moon of poosh! what did you do? nothing. the planets rearranged themselves into the optimum pattern. ooh. -look at that. twenty-seven planets in perfect balance. come on, that is gorgeous. oi, don't get all spaceman. what does it mean? -all those worlds fit together like pieces of an engine. it's like a powerhouse. what for? who could design such a thing? someone tried to move the earth once before. -long time ago. it can't be. maximum extermination! the shields are down! there's too many of them! -abandon ship! the valiant's down! air force retreating over north africa. daleks landing in japan. we've lost contact with the prime minister's plane. -jack! manhattan! martha, get out of there. i can't, jack. i've got a job to do. -they're targeting military bases, and you're next on the list. dr jones, you will come with me. project indigo is being activated. quick march. but we can't use project indigo. -it hasn't been tested, sir. we don't even know if it works. human forces will be exterminated! annihilate unit! exterminate! -put it on. fast as you can! martha, i'm telling you. don't use project indigo. it's not safe! -you take your orders from unit, dr jones, not from torchwood. but why me? you're our only hope of finding the doctor. but failing that, if no help is coming, then with the power invested in me by the unified intelligence taskforce i authorise you to take this. -the osterhagen key. i can't take that, sir. you know what to do! for the sake of the human race. dalek attack squad five reaching north corridor. -dr jones. exterminate! exterminate! good luck. exterminate! -exterminate! bye, jack. martha, don't do it! don't! what's project indigo? -unitbase... experimental teleport salvaged from the sontarans. but they haven't got coordinates or stabilisation! so where is she? scattered into atoms. -martha's down. commence the landings. bring the humans here. prepare the crucible. supreme dalek, is there news? -earth has been subjugated. i mean, is there news of him? negative. no reports of time lord. we are beyond the doctor's reach. -fascinating. if i had not elevated you beyond crude emotions, i could almost mistake that tone for one of victory. beware your pride. the doctor cannot stop us. -and yet dalek caan is uneasy. the abomination is insane! show respect. without dalek caan none of this would be possible. and he speaks only the truth. -he is coming. the three-fold man, he dances in the lonely places. oh, creator of us all, the doctor is coming! you need sustenance. take the water. -it purifies. thanks. there was something on your back. how did you know that? you are something new. -not me. i'm just a temp. shorthand, filing, 100 words per minute. fat lot of good that is now. i'm no use to anyone. -i'm so sorry for your loss. yeah. my whole planet's gone. i mean the loss that is yet to come. god save you. -donna, think, earth. there must have been some sort of warning. was anything happening back in your day, like electrical storms, freak weather, patterns in the sky? well, how should i know? erm, no. -i don't think so. no. okay, never mind. although... there were the bees disappearing. -the bees disappearing? the bees disappearing. the bees disappearing! how is that significant? on earth, we have these insects. -some people said it was pollution or mobile phone signals. or they were going back home. back home where? planet melissa majoria. are you saying bees are aliens? -don't be so daft. not all of them. but if the migrant bees felt something coming, some danger, and escaped... tandocca! the tandocca scale. -the tandocca scale is a series of wavelengths used as carrier signals by migrant bees. infinitely small. no wonder we didn't see it. it's like looking for a speck of cinnamon in the sahara. look! -there it is! the tandocca trail! the transmat that moved the planets was using the same wavelength. we can follow the path! and find the earth! -well, stop talking and do it! i am! we're a bit late. the signal's scattered but it's a start. i've got a blip! -it's just a blip, but it's definitely a blip. then according to the strictures of the shadow proclamation, i will have to seize your transport and your technology. oh, really? what for? -the planets were stolen with hostile intent. we are declaring war, doctor. right across the universe. and you will lead us into battle! right. -yes. of course i will. i'll just go and get you the key. doctor, come back! by the holy writ of the shadow proclamation, -i order you to stop! all humans will leave their homes. the males, the females, the descendents, you will come with us! resistance is useless. where are you taking us? -daleks do not answer human questions. stand in line! dad, please, come home. they're leaving our street alone. i've got a weapon. -it's a paint gun. exactly. them dalek things, they've only got one eye. a good splodge of paint, they'd be blinded. we're not going! -do you hear me? laura, get back inside the house. simon, get inside! go! get back in the sky! -get back where you came from and leave us alone! dalek attack formation seven. maximum extermination! they're monsters. please, dad, come on. -halt! you will come with me. will i heck! my vision is not impaired! i warned you, dad. -hostility will not be tolerated! exterminate! exterminate! exter... do you wanna swap? -you're donna noble's family, right? i'm rose tyler. and i need you. yeah, i've tried calling her, but i can't get through. but she's still with the doctor. -i know that much. and the last time she phoned, it was from a planet called midnight, made of diamonds. what the hell are you two on about? look, she's out there, sweetheart. your daughter. -she's travelling the stars with that doctor. she always has been. don't be ridiculous. oh, come on, open your eyes. look at the sky. -look at... look at the daleks. you can't start denying things now. you were my last hope. if we can't find donna, we can't find the doctor. -where is he? it's stopped. what do you mean? is that good or bad? where are we? -the medusa cascade. i came here when i was just a kid, 90 years old. it was the centre of a rift in time and space. so, where are the 27 planets? nowhere. -the tandocca trail stops dead. end of the line. so what do we do? doctor, what do we do? now, don't do this to me. -no, don't. don't do this to me. not now. tell me what are we going to do. you never give up. -please! this is the commander general of the united nations calling the dalek fleet. we surrender. repeat, we surrender. planet earth surrenders. -...humans selected for testing will follow dalek instructions. the daleks reign supreme. all hail the daleks! you will obey dalek instructions without question. you will obey your dalek. -can anyone hear me? the subwave network is open. you should be able to hear my voice. is there anyone there? i know that voice. -who's that? some poor soul calling for help. there's nothing we can do. but look at mr smith. processing incoming subwave. -this message is of the utmost importance. we haven't much time. can anyone hear me? someone's trying to get in touch. the whole world's crying out. -just leave it. captain jack harkness, shame on you! now, stand to attention, sir. what? who is that? -harriet jones, former prime minister. yeah, i know who you are. harriet, it's me! it's me! she can't hear me. -have you got a webcam? no, she wouldn't let me. she said they're naughty. i can't speak to her then, can i? sarah jane smith, 13 bannerman road, are you there? -yeah, yeah, i'm here. that's me! good! now, let's see if we can talk to each other. the fourth contact seems to be having some trouble getting through. -that's me! harriet, that's me! i'll just boost the signal. hello? martha jones! -who's she? i want to get through. martha, where are you? i guess project indigo was more clever than we thought. one second i was in manhattan... -next second, maybe indigo tapped into my mind 'cause i ended up in the one place i wanted to be. mum? you came home. at the end of the world, you came back to me. but then all of a sudden, it's like the laptop turned itself on. -it did. that was me. harriet jones, former prime minister. yes, i know who you are. i thought it was about time we all met given the current crisis. -torchwood, this is sarah jane smith. i've been following your work. nice job with the slitheen. yeah, well, i've been staying away from you lot. too many guns. -all the same, might i say, looking good, ma'am? really? ooh! not now, captain. and martha jones, former companion to the doctor. -oi, so was i! but how did you find me? this, ladies and gentlemen, this is the subwave network. a sentient piece of software programmed to seek out anyone and everyone who can help to contact the doctor. what if the daleks can here us? -no. that's the beauty of the subwave. it's undetectable. and you invented it? i developed it. -it was created by the mr copper foundation. yeah, but what we need right now is a weapon. martha, back at unit, what did they give you? what was that key thing? the osterhagen key. -that key is not to be used, dr jones. not under any circumstances. but what is an osterhagen key? forget about the key! and that's an order! -all we need is the doctor. oh, excuse me, harriet, but well, the thing is, if you're looking for the doctor, didn't he depose you? he did. and i've wondered about that for a long time, whether i was wrong. but i stand by my actions to this day because i knew... -i knew that one day, the earth would be in danger. and the doctor would fail to appear. i told him so myself, and he didn't listen. but i've been trying to find him. the doctor's got my phone on the tardis, but i can't get through. -nor me. and i was here first. that's why we need the subwave. to bring us all together. combine forces. -the doctor's secret army. wait a minute. we boost the signal, that's it. we transmit that telephone number through torchwood itself, using all the power of the rift... -and we've got mr smith. he can link up with every telephone exchange on the earth. he can get the whole world to call the same number all at the same time. billions of phones calling out all at once! brilliant! -who's the kid? that's my son. excuse me, sorry. sorry, hello. ianto jones. if we start transmitting, then this subwave network is going to become visible, i mean, to the daleks. -yes, and they'll trace it back to me. but my life doesn't matter. not if it saves the earth. ma'am. thank you, captain. -but there are people out there dying on the streets. marvellous woman. i voted for her. you did not! now, enough of words, let's begin. -grid power activated. all terminals coordinated. national grid online, giving you everything we've got. connecting you to mr smith. all telephone networks combined. -sending you the number now. opening subwave network to maximum. mr smith? make that call. calling the doctor. -so am i. and sending! phone! phone! martha, is that you? -it's just a signal. can we follow it? just watch me. emergency! unknown network detected! -subwave frequency! find the point of origin. find and exterminate! i warned you, supreme one. just as dalek caan foretold. -the children of time are moving against us. but everything is falling into place. i think we got a fix! mr smith now at 200 %. come on, doctor! -find me, doctor. find me. got it! locking on. harriet, a source's locked onto your location. -they found you. i know. i'm using the network to mask your transmission. keep going. exterminate! -we're travelling through time. one second in the future. the phone call's pulling us through. captain, i'm transferring the subwave network to torchwood. -you're in charge now. and tell the doctor from me, he chose his companions well. it's been an honour. harriet jones, former prime minister. yes, we know who you are! -oh, you know nothing of any human. and that will be your downfall. exterminate! three, two, one! twenty-seven planets. -and there's the earth. but why couldn't we see them? the entire medusa cascade has been put a second out of sync with the rest of universe. perfect hiding place. tiny little pocket of time, but we found them! -ooh, ooh. ooh, what's that? hold on, hold on. some sort of subwave network. where the hell have you been? -doctor, it's the daleks! oh, he's a bit nice. i thought he'd be older. he's not that young. it's the daleks, they're taking people to their spaceship it's not just dalek caan! -that's donna! that's my girl! sarah jane! who's that boy? that must be torchwood. -aren't they brilliant? look at you all, you clever people. that's martha. and who's he? captain jack. -don't. just... don't. doctor, it's me. i came back. -it's like an outer space facebook. everyone except rose. he is here. the dark lord is come! supreme one, this subwave network, i will address it. -give me access. we've lost them. no, no, no, no. there's another signal coming through. there's someone else out there. -hello? can you hear me? rose. your voice is different and yet its arrogance is unchanged. no. -but he's dead. welcome to my new empire, doctor. it is only fitting that you should bear witness to the resurrection and the triumph of davros, lord and creator of the dalek race. doctor. have you nothing to say? -doctor, it's all right. we're in the tardis. we're safe. but you were destroyed. in the very first year of the time war at the gates of elysium. -i saw your command ship fly into the jaws of the nightmare child. i tried to save you. but it took one stronger than you. dalek caan himself. i flew into the wild and fire. -i danced and died a thousand times. emergency temporal shift took him back into the time war itself. but that's impossible! the entire war is time-locked! and yet he succeeded. -oh, it cost him his mind, but imagine, a single simple dalek succeeded where emperors and time lords have failed. a testament, don't you think, to my remarkable creations?

think, donna. -when you met rose in that parallel world, what did she say? just, "the darkness is coming. " anything else? why don't you ask her yourself? exterminate! -i've got you. it missed you. look, it's me, doctor. rose. right. -long time no see. yeah. been busy, you know. don't die. no, don't die. -my god, don't die. get him into the tardis, quick. move! but they don't work against daleks. yeah? -well, i'm going out fighting. like owen, like tosh. how about you? exterminate! yes, ma'am! -exterminate! what do we do? there must be some medicine, or something. just step back. rose, do as i say and get back! -he's dying. and you know what happens next. what do you mean? he can't. not now. -i came all this way. what do you mean? what happens next? it's starting. all human transport is forbidden! -i surrender! i'm sorry! daleks do not accept apologies! you will be exterminated! exterminate! -exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! here we go. good luck, doctor! -will someone please tell me what is going on? when he's dying, his body, it repairs itself. it changes. but you can't! i'm sorry, it's too late. -i'm regenerating. it's fine. everything's fine. nothing's wrong. it's all fine. -excuse me, what day is it? saturday. saturday. good. good. -i like saturdays. so i just met rose tyler? yeah. but she's locked away in a parallel world. exactly. -if she can cross from her parallel world to your parallel world then that means the walls of the universe are breaking down, which puts everything in danger. everything. but how? thing is, doctor, no matter what's happening, and i'm sure it's bad, i get that. but rose is coming back. -isn't that good? yeah. what the hell was that? don't know. it came from outside. -but we're in space. how did it happen? what did you do? we haven't moved. we're fixed. -it can't have. no! tardis is still in the same place, but the earth has gone. the entire planet! it's gone. -give me a cigarette. right now. confirm all stations still online. can anyone hear me? have we got contact with unit base... -what was that? emergency systems online. was it some sort of earthquake or... get the system operational... jalandra, are you all right? -yeah, i'm okay. is anyone hurt? we've lost power. someone get the lights back on. dacosta, see to it right now. -suzanne, are you okay? martha, look at the sky. why, what is it? just look at the sky! whoa, what happened? -is it the rift? gwen, ianto, you okay? no broken bones. slight loss of dignity. no change there, then. -the whole of the city must've felt that. the whole of south wales. i'm gonna take a look outside. a little bit bigger than south wales. luke, are you all right? -it felt like some sort of cross-dimensional spatial transference. but it's night. it wasn't night. it was 8:00 in the morning! mr smith, i need you! -i wish you'd stop giving that fanfare and just tell me what happened! sarah jane, i think you should look outside. i 'll think you'll find the visual evidence most conclusive. it's gone dark. it's them aliens, i'll bet my pension. -what do you want this time, you green swine? dad... look, you get back inside, sylvia. they always want the women. no, dad, just look. -oh, my god! look at the sky! that's impossible. that's just impossible. it can't be. -right, now we're in trouble. and it's only just beginning. but if the earth's been moved, they've lost the sun. what about my mum? and granddad? -they're dead! are they dead? i don't know, donna. i just don't know. i'm sorry, i don't know. -that's my family. my whole world. there's no readings. nothing. not a trace. -not even a whisper. oh, that is fearsome technology. so what do we do? we've got to get help. from where? -donna, i'm taking you to the shadow proclamation. hold tight. the united nations have issued an edict asking the citizens of the world not to panic. so far there has been no explanation of the 26 planets which have appeared in the sky. but it? -an empirical fact. the planets didn't come to us, we came to them. just {oak at the stars. we 're in a completely different region of space. we've travelled. -do you know what? i look up and there's all these moons and things... have you seen them? do you see them? what was i drinking last night? -furniture polish? ianto. time and a place. yeah, it's funny, though. gwen, come and see. -rhys, i have no idea. just stay indoors. can you phone my mother? tell her... oh, i don't know. just tell her to take her pills and go to sleep. i'm gonna come home as soon as i can. -i promise. i love you, you big idiot. someone's established an artificial atmospheric shell, keeping the air and holding in the heat. whoever's done this wants the human race alive. that's a plus. -twenty-seven planets, including the earth. no, but what's that? that's not a planet! the reading seems to be artificial in construction. some sort of space station, sitting at the heart of the web. -they're fine. maria and her dad, they're still in cornwall. i told them to stay indoors. clyde's all right, he's with his mum. sarah jane, i have detected movement. -observe. spaceships. tracking 200 objects. earthbound trajectory. geneva is calling a code red. -everyone to battle positions. dr jones, if you're not too busy... i'm trying to phone the doctor, sir. and? there's no signal. -this number calls anywhere in the universe. it never breaks down. they must be blocking it. whoever they are. we're about to find out. -they're coming into orbit. i'll take you on! yeah, you, mate! the end of the world, darling. end of the stinking world. -have one on me, mate. right. you two, you can put that stuff down or run for your lives. do you like my gun? we 're now getting confirmed reports of spaceships. -the pentagon has issued an emergency report. dad, come and see. they're saying spaceships. did you find her? no. -no, there's no reply. where are you, donna? ...and stay indoors. where are you, sweetheart? 3,000 miles and closing. -but who are they? martha jones, voice of a nightingale. tell me you put something in my drink. no such luck. have you heard from the doctor? -not a word. where are you? new york. oh. nice for some. -i've been promoted. medical director on project indigo. did you get that thing working? indigo's top secret. no one's supposed to know about it. -i met a soldier in a bar. long story. when was that? strictly professional. 1,500 miles, boys. -and accelerating. they're almost here. i'm receiving a communication from the earthbound ships. they have a message for the human race. put it through. -let's hear it. exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! -exterminate! exterminate! no. exterminate! exterminate! -oh, no. exterminate! what is it? who are they? do you know them, jack? -exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! no. -exterminate! there's nothing i can do. exterminate! exterminate! i'm sorry. -we're dead. {xterm/natal exterminate! oh, god, you're so young. exterminate! -exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! get out of here! come on! -this way. come on! dalek fleet in battle format/on. all systems locked and primed. crucible at 90% efficiency. -the human harvest will commence. battle stations! geneva declaring ultimate code red. ladies and gentlemen, we are at war. supreme dalek on the bridge. -soon the crucible will be complete. we have waited long for this ultimate destiny. now the daleks are the masters of earth. daleks are the masters of earth! daleks are the masters of earth! -so, go on, then. what is the shadow proclamation anyway? posh name for police. outer-space police. here we go! -sco bo tro no flo jo ko fo to do. no bo ho sho ko ro to so. bo-ko-do-zo-go-bo-fo-po-jo. mo ho. time lords are the stuff of legend. -belong in the myths and whispers of the higher species. you cannot possibly exist. yeah. more to the point, i've got a missing planet. then you're not as wise as the stories would say. -the picture is far bigger than you imagine. the whole universe is in outrage, doctor. twenty-four worlds have been taken from the sky. how many? which ones? -show me! locations range far and wide. they all disappeared at the exact same moment, leaving no trace. callufrax minor. jahoo. -shallacatop. woman wept. clom! clom's gone! who'd want clom? -all different sizes. some populated, some not. but all unconnected. what about pyrovillia? who is the female? -donna. i'm a human being. maybe not the stuff of legend, but every bit as important as time lords, thank you. way back, when we were in pompeii, lucius said pyrovillia had gone missing. pyrovillia is cold case. -not relevant. how do you mean, cold case? the planet pyrovillia cannot be part of this. it disappeared over 2,000 years ago. yes, yes, hang on. -but there's the adipose breeding planet, too. miss foster said that was lost. but that must have been a long time ago. that's it! donna, brilliant! -planets have been taken out of time as well as space. put this into 3d. now, if we add pyrovillia and adipose iii. something missing. where else, where else, where else? -lost, lost, lost, lost. oh! the lost moon of poosh! what did you do? nothing. -the planets rearranged themselves into the optimum pattern. ooh. look at that. twenty-seven planets in perfect balance. come on, that is gorgeous. -oi, don't get all spaceman. what does it mean? all those worlds fit together like pieces of an engine. it's like a powerhouse. what for? -who could design such a thing? someone tried to move the earth once before. long time ago. it can't be. maximum extermination! -the shields are down! there's too many of them! abandon ship! the val/anti; down! air force retreating over north africa. -daleks landing in japan. we've lost contact with the prime minister's plane. jack! manhattan! martha, get out of there. -i can't, jack. i've got a job to do. they're targeting military bases, and you're next on the list. dr jones, you will come with me. project indigo is being activated. -quick march. but we can't use project indigo. it hasn't been tested, sir. we don't even know if it works. human forces will be exterminated! -annihilate unit! exterminate! put it on. fast as you can! martha, i'm telling you. -don't use project indigo. it's not safe! you take your orders from unit, dr jones, not from torchwood. but why me? you're our only hope of finding the doctor. -but failing that, if no help is coming, then with the power invested in me by the unified intelligence taskforce i authorise you to take this. the osterhagen key. i can't take that, sir. you know what to do! -for the sake of the human race. dalek attack squad five reaching north corridor. dr jones. exterminate! exterminate! -good luck. exterminate! exterminate! bye, jack. martha, don't do it! -don't! what's project indigo? unit base... experimental teleport salvaged from the sontarans. but they haven't got coordinates or stabilisation! -so where is she? scattered into atoms. martha's down. commence the landings. bring the humans here. -prepare the crucible. supreme dalek, is there news? earth has been subjugated. i mean, is there news of him? negative. -no reports of time lord. we are beyond the doctor? reach. fascinating. if i had not elevated you beyond crude emotions, -i could almost mistake that tone for one of victory. be ware your pride. the doctor cannot stop us. and yet dalek caan is uneasy. the abomination is insane! -show respect. without dalek caan none of this would be possible. and he speaks only the truth. he is coming. the three-fold man, he dances in the lonely places. -oh, creator of us all, the doctor is coming! you need sustenance. take the water. it purifies. thanks. -there was something on your back. how did you know that? you are something new. not me. i'm just a temp. -shorthand, filing, 100 words per minute. fat lot of good that is now. i'm no use to anyone. i'm so sorry for your loss. yeah. -my whole planet's gone. i mean the loss that is yet to come. god save you. donna, think, earth. there must have been some sort of warning. -was anything happening back in your day, like electrical storms, freak weather, patterns in the sky? well, how should i know? erm, no. i don't think so. no. -okay, never mind. although... there were the bees disappearing. the bees disappearing? the bees disappearing. -the bees disappearing! how is that significant? on earth, we have these insects. some people said it was pollution or mobile phone signals. or they were going back home. -back home where? planet melissa majoria. are you saying bees are aliens? don't be so daft. not all of them. -but if the migrant bees felt something coming, some danger, and escaped... tandocca! the tandocca scale. the tandocca scale is a series of wavelengths used as carrier signals by migrant bees. infinitely small. -no wonder we didn't see it. it's like looking for a speck of cinnamon in the sahara. look! there it is! the tandocca trail! -the transmat that moved the planets was using the same wavelength. we can follow the path! and find the earth! well, stop talking and do it! i am! -we're a bit late. the signal's scattered but it's a start. i've got a blip! it's just a blip, but it's definitely a blip. then according to the strictures of the shadow proclamation, -i will have to seize your transport and your technology. oh, really? what for? the planets were stolen with hostile intent. we are declaring war, doctor. -right across the universe. and you will lead us into battle! right. yes. of course i will. -i'll just go and get you the key. doctor, come back! by the holy writ of the shadow proclamation, i order you to stop! all humans will leave their homes. -all humans will leave their homes. the males, the females the descendents, you will come with us! resistance is useless. where are you taking us? daleks do not answer human questions. -stand in line! dad, please, come home. they're leaving our street alone. i've got a weapon. it's a paint gun. -exactly. them dalek things, they've only got one eye. a good splodge of paint, they'd be blinded. we're not going! do you hear me? -laura, get back inside the house. simon, get inside! go! get back in the sky! get back where you came from and leave us alone! -dalek attack formation seven. maximum extermination! they're monsters. please, dad, come on. halt! -you will come with me. will i heck! my vision is not impaired! i warned you, dad. hostility will not be tolerated! -exterminate! exterminate! exter... do you wanna swap? you're donna noble's family, right? -i'm rose tyler. and i need you. yeah, i've tried calling her, but i can't get through. but she's still with the doctor. i know that much. -and the last time she phoned, it was from a planet called midnight, made of diamonds. what the hell are you two on about? look, she's out there, sweetheart. your daughter. she's travelling the stars with that doctor. -she always has been. don't be ridiculous. oh, come on, open your eyes. look at the sky. look at... -look at the daleks. you can't start denying things now. you were my last hope. if we can't find donna, we can't find the doctor. where is he? -it's stopped. what do you mean? is that good or bad? where are we? the medusa cascade. -i came here when i was just a kid, 90 years old. it was the centre of a rift in time and space. so, where are the 27 planets? nowhere. the tandocca trail stops dead. -end of the line. so what do we do? doctor, what do we do? now, don't do this to me. no, don't. -don't do this to me. not now. tell me what are we going to do. you never give up. please! -this is the commander general of the united nations calling the dalek fleet. we surrender. repeal', we surrender. planet earth surrenders. humans selected for testing will follow dalek instructions. -the daleks reign supreme. all hail the daleks! you will obey dalek instructions without question. you will obey your dalek. can anyone hear me? -the subwave network is open. you should be able to hear my voice. is there anyone there? i know that voice. who's that? -some poor soul calling for help. there's nothing we can do. but look at mr smith. processing incoming subwave. this message is of the utmost importance. -we haven't much time. can anyone hear me? someone's trying to get in touch. the whole world's crying out. just leave it. -captain jack harkness, shame on you! now, stand to attention, sir. what? who is that? harriet jones, former prime minister. -yeah, i know who you are. harriet, it's me! it's me! she can't hear me. have you got a webcam? -no, she wouldn't let me. she said they're naughty. i can't speak to her then, can i? sarah jane smith, 13 bannerman road, are you there? yeah, yeah, i'm here. -that's me! good! now, let's see if we can talk to each other. the fourth contact seems to be having some trouble getting through. that's me! -harriet, that's me! i '11 just boost the signal. hello? martha jones! who's she? -i want to get through. martha, where are you? i guess project indigo was more clever than we thought. one second i was in manhattan... next second, maybe indigo tapped into my mind 'cause i ended up in the one place i wanted to be. -mum? you came home. at the end of the world, you came back to me. but then all of a sudden, it's like the laptop turned itself on. it did. -that was me. harriet jones, former prime minister. yes, i know who you are. i thought it was about time we all met given the current crisis. torchwood this is sarah jane smith. -i've been following your work. nice job with the slit/lean. yeah, well, i've been staying away from you lot. too many guns. all the same, might i say, looking good, ma 'am? -really? ooh! not now, captain. and martha jones, former companion to the doctor. oi, so was i! -but how did you find me? this, ladies and gentlemen, this is the subwave network a sentient piece of software programmed to seek out anyone and everyone who can help to contact the doctor. what if the daleks can here us? no. -that's the beauty of the subwave. it's undetectable. and you invented it? i developed it. it was created by the mr copper foundation. -yeah, but what we need right now is a weapon. martha, back at unit, what did they give you? what was that key thing? the osterhagen key. that key is not to be used, dr jones. -not under any circumstances. but what is an osterhagen key? forget about the key! and that's an order! all we need is the doctor. -oh, excuse me, harriet, but well, the thing is, if you're looking for the doctor, didn't he depose you? he did. and i've wondered about that for a long time, whether i was wrong. but i stand by my actions to this day because i knew... i knew that one clay, the earth would be in danger. -and the doctor would fail to appear. i told him so myself, and he didn't listen. but i've been trying to find him. the doctor's got my phone on the tardis, but i can't get through. nor me. -and i was here first. that's why we need the subwave. to bring us all together. combine forces. the doctor's secret army. -wait a minute. we boost the signal, that's it. we transmit that telephone number through torchwood itself, using all the power of the rift... and we've got mr smith. -he can link up with every telephone exchange on the earth. he can get the whole world to call the same number all at the same time. billions of phones calling out all at once! brilliant! who's the kid? -that's my son. excuse me, sorry. sorry, hello. ianto jones. if we start transmitting, then this subwave network is going to become visible, i mean, to the daleks. -yes, and they'll trace it back to me. but my life doesn't matter. not if it saves the earth. ma'am. thank you, captain. -but there are people out there dying on the streets. marvellous woman. i voted for her. you did not! now, enough of words, let's begin. -grid power activated. all terminals coordinated. national grid online, giving you everything we've got. connecting you to mr smith. all telephone networks combined. -sending you the number now. opening subwave network to maximum. mr smith? make that call. calling the doctor. -so am i. and sending! phone! phone! martha, is that you? -it's just a signal. can we follow it? just watch me. emergency! unknown network detected! -subwave frequency! find the point of origin. find and exterminate! i warned you, supreme one. just as dalek caan foretold. -the children of time are moving against us. but everything is falling into place. i think we got a fix! mr smith now at 200%. come on, doctor! -find me, doctor. find me. got it! locking on. harriet, a source's locked onto your location. -they found you. i know. i'm using the network to mask your transmission. keep going. exterminate! -we're travelling through time. one second in the future. the phone call's pulling us through. captain, i'm transferring the subwave network to torchwood. -you're in charge now. and tell the doctor from me, he chose his companions well. it's been an honour. harriet jones, former prime minister. ye; we know who you are! -oh, you know nothing of any human. and that will be your downfall. exterminate! three, two, one! twenty-seven planets. -and there's the earth. but why couldn't we see them? the entire medusa cascade has been put a second out of sync with the rest of universe. perfect hiding place. tiny little pocket of time, but we found them! -ooh, ooh. ooh, what's that? hold on, hold on. some sort of subwave network. where the hell have you been? -doctor, it's the daleks! oh, he's a bit nice. i thought he'd be older. he's not that young. it's the daleks, they're taking people to their spaceship.... it's not just dalek caan! -that's donna! that's my girl! sarah jane! who's that boy? that must be torchwood. -aren't they brilliant? look at you all, you clever people. that's martha. and who's he? captain jack. -don't. just... don't. doctor, it's me. i came back. it's like an outer space facebook. -everyone except rose. he is here. the dark lord is come! supreme one, this subwave network, i will address it. give me access. -we've lost them. no, no, no, no. there's another signal coming through. there's someone else out there. hello? -can you hear me? rose. your voice is different and yet its arrogance is unchanged. no. but he's dead. -welcome to my new empire, doctor. it is only fitting that you should bear witness to the resurrection and the triumph of davros lord and creator of the dalek race. doctor. have you nothing to say? doctor, it's all right. -we're in the tardis. we're safe. but you were destroyed. in the very first year of the time war at the gates of elysium. i saw your command ship fly into the jaws of the nightmare child. -i tried to save you. but it took one stronger than you. dalek caan himself. i flew into the wild and fire. i danced and died a thousand times. -emergency temporal shift took him back into the time war itself but that's impossible! the entire war is time-locked! and yet he succeeded. oh, it cost him his mind but imagine, a single simple dalek succeeded where emperors and time lords have failed. -a testament, don't you think, to my remarkable creations? and you made a new race of daleks. quite literally. each one grown from a cell of my own body. new dale/(s. -true daleks. i have my children, doctor. what do you have now? after all this time, everything we saw, everything we lost, i have only one thing to say to you. -bye! emergency! locate the tardis! find the doctor! he will go to the earth to find his precious human allies. -and death is coming. oh, i can see it. everlasting death for the most faithful companion. subwave network rerouted! new location, torchwood! -then exterminate them at once! exterminate torchwood gwen. dalek saucer heading for the bay. they've found us. -martha, open that indigo device. listen to me. lift the central panel, there's a string of numbers that keep changing. but the fourth number keeps oscillating between two different digits. tell me what they are. -it's a four and a nine. we could never work out what that was. yeah! that's a teleport base code. and that's all i need to get this thing working again. -oscillating four and nine. thank you, martha jones. i gotta go. i gotta find the doctor. i'll come back. -i'm coming back. don't worry about us. just go. we'll be fine. you'd better be. exterminate! -exterminate! they're here. tardis heading for vector 7. grid reference 6-6... there are daleks out there. -i know. i'm sorry, but i have got to find the doctor. don't move, don't leave the house, don't do anything. i will protect the boy, sarah jane. i love you. -remember that. control, i need another shift. lock me onto the tardis. now. right, i'm gonna find him. -wish me luck. oh, good luck! yeah, good luck, sweetheart. it's like a ghost town. sarah jane said they were taking the people. -what for? think, donna. when you met rose in that parallel world, what did she say? just, "the darkness is coming." anything else? -why don't you ask her yourself? exterminate! i've got you. it missed you. look, it's me, doctor. -rose. right. long time no see. yeah. been busy, you know. -don't die. no, don't die. my god, don't die. get him into the tardis, quick. move! -but they don't work against daleks. yeah? well, i'm going out fighting. like owen, like tosh. how about you? -exterminate! yes, ma'am! exterminate! what do we do? there must be some medicine, or something. -just step back. rose, do as i say and get back! he's dying. and you know what happens next. what do you mean? -he can't. not now. i came all this way. what do you mean? what happens next? -it's starting. all human transport is forbidden! i surrender! i'm sorry! daleks do not accept apologies! -you will be exterminated! exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! exterminate! -here we go. good luck, doctor! will someone please tell me what is going on? when he's dying, his body, it repairs itself. it changes. -but you can't! i'm sorry, it's too late. i'm regenerating. green bay, china ready -hey. what did i tell you? darren. police boss, are you alright? -boss boss? boss give me your hand boss. run. -boss let go of me. get lost boss. boss -jardine's lookout, hong kong john, this is uncle fok, go watch the news on darren quickly the wreck may have been caused by the leak imelda sir -cigarette i quit damn it. give it to me a diesel smuggling truck exploded in green bay china -during a police crackdown on bootlegged diesel a refitted diesel truck tried to break away it was intercepted after it ran 2 road blocks but exploded after tilting over and crashed into a passenger car the 32-year-old driver is hong kong resident darren shum -during the bust police have arrested 5 suspects on charges of smuggling oil 60,000 liters of untaxed diesel and several refitted diesel trucks were found uncle wing i saw the news i'm sorry. -put everything on hold i met this cute guy at the gym we went home to have a good time right in the middle of it, he seemed pissed i opened my eyes and glared at him -but he was quick. he closed his eyes and started panting and moaning it's your imagination i've been doing this for years i play this game everyday -i don't blame him, i just went along he moans, i moan. he rocks, i rock believe it or not, after a while i was quite high -i finally figured it out whether you're happy with a guy has nothing to do with love what's more important?

( knocking ) -or not. please make me evaporate. hey. cut out on my sister's party. she's pretty twisted about it. -you look like crap. aren't you a big ray of sunshine? what's wrong with you? pick a category. oh. -got it. eii, eii, wait. please. there's a iot that you don't know about me. i told everyone that i moved here to make a fresh start, but that's really only part of the story. -okay. listen, if i tell you something, you have to promise not to tell anyone, not even emily. okay, try me. i'm here because i-- because i'm in hiding. hiding? -sort of. from what? my father's crazy. he's really crazy, and he gets very violent. he used to hit me and my mom. -what? morgan's voice: i just couldn't chance it. so instead, i borrowed the plot from my lifetime movie "my father, my stranger." -one time he broke my nose. what? my mom left him, and the judge gave her full custody, but then he faked his own death and he started following me around in a disguise. he's changed his name and everything. my mom caught on to this, of course, but then, she got a rare blood disease, and she wasn't able to care for us anymore. -she wasn't even able to keep herself safe, iet alone me, so she thought the safest place for me to be was right here with my aunt. i thought stuff like that only happened on tv. anyway, that's why i'm so upset, 'cause i'm really afraid that he might find me, and he can't know where i am. he can never find me... morgan's voice: -and then i started to cry-- partly because the role required it, but i also felt really terrible about lying to eli. could you just forget i ever said anything? no. no, i will not forget, okay? you see him, you call me. -aii right? in the meantime, iet's get your head into something else. how about some geometry? yeah. this is more boring than baking. -try it. is that right? yeah, that's all it is right there. really? yeah. -okay, well, iet's try another one. aii right, here, try this. aii right. you wanna go out this weekend? what, iike on a date? -undefined. yes. aii right. morgan: i'm not totally sure of this, because most of my relationships have either been scripted or happened while i was drunk, but i maybe might have a thing for eii wills. -are you dating my brother? i don't know. okay, so let's try this one. do you have a boyfriend in new york? not anymore. -we broke up. i think he likes guys. so the other night was a lie? or are you lying to me now? morgan: -i'm lying to everyone all the time, and it sucks. so do you iike my brother? i guess so. yes, i do. well, then don't lie to him or to me ever again. -i don't know how much longer i can keep lying to people, especially eii. and i am not smart enough to keep track of who i said what to. i mean, maybe i should make a chart just so i can keep things straight. are you going on a date or something? what? -no. yea-- look at you. you're all dressed up and your hair. ( doorbeii rings ) -you're going on a date! it's him right now, isn't it? i'm gonna go get it. oh my god! marissa! -( screaming ) oh my god! i can't believe you're here! i can't believe this is where they stuck you. i've never seen your real hair before. -it's different. you knew about this. sam and bianca trying to play nice. they did pass it through your rehab counselor. hi, marissa. -i'ii take your bag. thank you. oh. oh. oh my god. -okay, look at this place. seriously, it's like hello kitty threw up in here. be nice. be nice. trudy's been really good to me. -so? how are you, girlfriend? in need of a best friend. well, i have arrived. and the costume people from my new movie totally hooked me up, so we can go out and no one will know it's me. -and i wanna try out my new accent. accent? mm-hmm. ( marissa with southern accent ) sugar, i feel like we got transported to the set of "ozzie and harriet." morgan: -her accent was driving me crazy. marissa sounded like "fargo" meets jessica simpson. you get used to it. i iike to hear the birds. ooh, iet's get some ice cream. -hello, can i have some vanilla in a cup, please? and what do you want? do you have any nonfat sugar-free tofu? yeah, honey, this is an ice cream truck, all right? thanks. -what? it's just-- wow. i mean, why didn't you just order a big side of fat? i iike ice cream. so do i, but-- okay, i'm sorry. -but do you ever plan on working again? of course i do. that's why i'm here, remember? this place is a joke, morgan. you'd have been better off hiring a personal trainer and doing off-broadway. -marissa, you don't have the vaguest idea of what i've been through. you didn't even visit me in rehab. i mean, one day i was your favorite party girl and the next day i almost died. and you couldn't handle that, and you just cut me loose. why? -look, watching you that night at the club, i was almost as high as you were. okay, it could have been me. i know i should have visited you in rehab. i just felt guilty. -so guilty, but i am really really sorry. ( car horn honks ) crap. remember, i'm claudia. okay. -emily: hi. hey, guys. eii, emily, this is my friend from back home... morgan's voice: -insert fake name. insert fake name! daisy du-- chovny. daisy duchovny. like the guy from "x-fiies"? -no relation. too bad. when do you want me to pick you up on saturday? i'ii call you. cool. -aii right, well, good meeting you. nice meeting you. morgan: thanks, guys. marissa: -see you all later. oh my god. you are going on a date with billy joe. his name is eli, and-- we're just friends. okay okay, yeah, we have to get you out of this town. -i bought you a really gorgeous dress for tonight. what's tonight? we're making magic. oh. maybe we shouldn't be here. -someone's gonna see us. it's chicago. who do you think we're gonna run into? no using your real name. no vip treatment here. -i have never paid a cover in my iife. i've actually cut way back on my drinking. good. excuse me. hey, ladies. -i'm carlos. what can i get for you? something pretty? a manhattan, two cherries. i think i read your mind. -and for you? um... club soda with a lime. are you sure you don't want something pretty like your friend? no, thank you. good for you. -idea: fly home with me, move in with me and we forget the whole nightmare ever happened. morgan: go back, resume, forget. it sounded good to morgan. -hey, another one. morgan: but claudia was less sure. claudia had trudy and emily, and claudia had an undefined date with eli. ( dance music playing ) -let's go, baby! whoo! marissa: whoo! yeah! -one shot for you, baby. morgan: for a moment, it was really like old times. marissa and i were invincible. nothing could touch us. -hey, carlos, one more. here you go, sweet thing. hey, remember when we used to dance on the bar at jade? we changed our bras in front of, iike, everyone. is it just me or are our best times when we were smashed? -relax, okay? loosen up. come on! watch this. excuse me, boys. -go, baby! whoo! ( dance music continues ) marissa! whoo! -whoo! yeah! morgan: standing there holding that glass, i realized how easy it wouid be to take a sip. -when you're sober, staring up at someone teetering on a bar top isn't all that funny. marissa just looked really really drunk. hey, girl, do you wanna get off the bar before you kill yourself? whoo! morgan: -i'm not safe in marissa's world anymore. and let's face it, it's her world now, not mine. come on, we gotta go. what? morgan's voice: -my world was fort wayne... for now. morgan: okay, here's the thing. sneaking in after dawn is a iot scarier when you're sober. trudy: -you stayed out all night. you said you were going to dinner, and i called, i called and i called. my phone was off. that is totally unacceptable, morgan. -unacceptable! you cannot stay here with me if you're gonna lie, drink and stay out all night. i didn't drink. i didn't. where were you? -out with marissa and then she had to catch a flight back to la 'cause she had to be on set. okay, iet me be very clear about this. you do not stay out all night. you call if your plans change, and you have another drink, and you're out. okay. -okay. this is your house, so your rules. is that a line from a movie? probably, but i mean it. give sam a call. -he's looking for you. okay, i'm sorry. the truth is we fell in love while you were in rehab. both of us were blaming ourselves for your problems, and i really got to see a different side to your mom. is this a secret side? -a side hidden from the rest of the world? sam: look, i know, i know, and i get that you're still upset. we handled it badly, and i'm sorry. aii right. -let's just talk about something else. sam: sure. how's school? grades are bad, friends are good and i even have a date this weekend, sort of. -wow. grades, friends and boys, that's the first time i've heard you sound like a normal teenager. it's a iot harder than i thought, this normai-teenager thing. girl: -come on, you guys! man: get your popcorn. morgan: fried cola? -two fried coias. oh my god. thank you. yeah. i started out here avoiding salads with sugar in them and now i'm trying fried cola. -okay. oh my god. it's really really good. now the ostrich races. stop it. -just take your time wherever you go the rain is faiiing on my windowpane but we are hiding in a safer place under cover -staying dry and warm you give me feelings that i adore they start in my toes, make me crinkie my nose wherever it goes, i always know that you make me smile, please stay for a while now -just take your time wherever you go but what am i gonna say when you make me feel this way? i just... -ciaudia-- ell, don't. morgan: and i kissed him. i didn't know what else to do. -i couldn't bear to hear him call me claudia one more time. just take your time wherever you go... morgan: i was seriously faiiing for him, and i wanted to hear my real name. i've been asleep for awhile now -you tucked me in just like a child now. morgan: trudy! hello? trudy. -tru. morgan: now this was unexpected. trudy. you didn't call me. -i was worried sick about you. where were you? no comment. well, you're obviously seeing someone, so spill. come on, tell me all about him. -it's no big deal. it's just our second date. he's a dentist. okay, well, i'ii give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. you really like this guy. -so have you slept with him yet? oh, my! i'm so not having that conversation with you. no, you haven't. you just stayed up all night talking, didn't you? -yeah, he gave me some really good advice... on medical school. on medical school? i figure if you can reinvent yourself, so can i. i'm gonna apply. -that is so great. welcome back to the human race. thank you, thanks. and now what about you? is the fair the date equivalent of discount darling? -i had a really great time. oh, you have a thing for eii wells. ( laughs ) morgan: i had this turning in my stomach, then i realized what it was-- -i was happy. cherry menthoi inside i found you hiding in my bedside pocket come along for the ride -cola bottles and a sherbet rocket no one knows what the future holds... trudy: bianca, she does not want to talk to you, and i don't blame her. -what in the world is the matter with you two? this poor kid's gone from red carpets to rehab all before her 17th birthday. no no, you can't come here until you do some aduit-type growing up. well, too bad. no. -morgan's voice: i had to admit... good night. ...i was impressed. she was on my side, and she wasn't even taking a percentage. -an actual first. morgan: just as i was finally fitting into claudia miller's shoes, even if they were fugiy-- i saw you at the fair, hooking up with eli. there's a name for that, debbie. -it's called a stalker. you probably know all about stalkers, don't you, morgan? morgan's voice: it took me a second to realize that she just called me by my real name. you know, i had my suspicions, but it seemed impossible, that whole thing with "girls on top" at the sleepover. -then last week in film class, you referred to spieiberg as steven. are you serious right now? what the hell are you doing here? researching for a big movie role? debbie, you're crazy. -i'm not morgan. answer me or in minutes the entire school's gonna know the truth about this. okay, come here. i came here to recover. it's part of my rehab. -how does eii fit into your scheme? scheme? it's not a scheme. i actually really like eli. oh, come on, you could have orlando or justin. -leave eii the hell alone. so that's it? you stay quiet if i stay away from eii? yeah, and get your bubbie-ass back to la where it belongs. morgan: -she knows, sam. this girl debbie ackerson, she knows. you were photographed at a bar holding a drink. ( groans ) i know it sounds totally lame, but i was holding the drink for marissa. sam: -you know what? i can't even go there, morgan. if you're stupid enough to start drinking again, i'm not gonna watch you destroy yourself twice. i swear to you, sam, i didn't take a drink. -aii right, all right. okay, i'm on it. i'ii take care of debbie. what do you mean? are you gonna have her whacked? -give her cement shoes? dump her in the river? i'm gonna have to send a lawyer over there with confidentiality papers. we're gonna have to buy her off. you're gonna have to be very careful. -reporters have picked up the scent now. aii right, be very careful and do me a favor: watch for people following you. are you serious? okay, all right. -morgan's voice: i had to start thinking like morgan carter again. ( sighs ) man: we are prepared to pay you... $5,000. -$5,000? mm-hmm. gee, mr. lawyer, that's so much money to little old me. who do you think i am? i read the tabloids. -i watch "extra." add a zero, buddy. $50,000? yeah. eii! -i got a b minus on my geometry test! what? yeah! i know. yeah! -it's a freakin' miracle! i was getting worried and really starting to think i was dumb. yeah, you're hardly dumb. i couid not have done it without you.

and the lies just bloomed until i was completely trapped by them. i mean, i didn't know who i was, and i didn't know who to trust. -debbie found out and she blackmailed me. she did? i know now i should have trusted you guys. i'm really sorry. i really am. -so what are you doing here? i decided to stay in fort wayne... and finish high school. be serious. everyone will get used to it. when it's no ionger a story, no one will care. -what about your soderbergh movie? i passed on it. there will be other roles, but there won't be other senior years. so i want to spend mine here with trudy and with you guys. whatever. -eii... i know you feel totally betrayed, and i get that, but what i feel for you is real. you-- you actually care about me. it wasn't about if i couid boost your press coverage or how good i iook on your arm, you know, it was-- you helped me and-- and it was just 'cause you wanted to. -and that's why i fell for you. you know, i can't teii-- i just can't tell when you're lying or acting... or whatever you call it. it's-- i'm tired. -i should probably turn in. emily: just give him time. you think?

morgan, over here, morgan! thank you! morgan, over here, morgan! -( clamoring ) they're all looking to find some story they can tell to sell the evening shows tonight -forget about rumors that you hear... hi. hey. they fill the page with this and that... come on, iet's get out of here. -come on. i'm not afraid to let you in 'cause i'm a tough girl, i've got skin that's thick enough to let you see the good and bad, yeah, all of me -this is my iife and i'm gonna show you... morgan's voice: there's no script for what comes next. i'ii just have to figure it out. it's the truth about me. -these are a guarantee for action, all for a couple of quid, like. take yourself off. do you have a daughter? i had you down for something a wee bit silky. oh, come on, it's sexy. -i liked that about him. don't go. have you any hugo boss? only the entire line at my fingertips. all right. -no, there's no way, man. no way. i'll do you nine if you take the hugo boss for ten. done. do you wanna have a look, lara? -you know i'm not. thank god there's you and the pope looking after our souls. you're under the wrong impression. these goods are not stolen. they're manufacturer overruns. -how about some shoes, mrs flaherty?

1800 twin cam. nought to 60 in seven seconds. -outrun any peeler in the city. the boot's a wee bit small, but it'll do. i can get you a deal anytime. i can't afford the petrol. i was a peeler. -that's what they call the police in belfast. i was a handler with the special branch. my code name was fergus. irish republican army against the unionists' ulster defence force. both were illegal armies. -it was about freedom. catholic republicans want free of british rule. both sides were willing to kill for their cause. by 1969, violence had become so bad, british troops were sent in to keep the peace. -they've been there ever since. to the ira, they were also an occupying army. we have a report of sniper fire. two officers down. send available blue lights to falls road area. this is b-20 out. -is everybody all right? outcome? result. two officers down. two casualties. -go on, you mad bastard. tell the boys to pull out. over. k-9 response to falls road. six shots fired. -trying to locate gunmen. looks ira. we sealed the communities, protestants on one side of the walll catholics on the other. we couldn't stop what was happening because we didn't have the minds of the people. -in war, truth is the first casualty, and information is as powerful as bullets. growing up an irish catholic lad in a republican community where police and security forces were not trustedl martin had few choices. you've never done a day's work in your life. but he was his own man, and so he had real potential to work with us. i don't think stealing cars is employment. -if the peelers catch you this time, you're fucked. tell me you didn't steal that car. i didn't steal that car. all i had to do was convince him. where you off to, lads? -just going to the shops. all right. name? mickey mouse. what street are you from? -sesame street. no, mickey mouse is disneyland. aye, right, disneyland, eh? yeah, yeah. where are you going? -didn't you hear him?

-first you and now it's me. go ahead, man. shoot. go on, man. fire away. -fuckin' shoot me, man. is someone gonna do something about this psycho here? it's all right. put it down. wait! -after them, lads! fuck! after doing 90 on the shankill, your mate sean spun out, took off before the officers chasing him could say "wanker". i gather you're in sales. a bloke like you gets around the area. -not me, man. i make it a point to see nothing. how about easy cash, the kind that doesn't see you going to jail for selling stolen goods? i show you some faces, you tell us what you see them doing. what makes you think that i would be a tout for anybody? -a car. no record. not even on police files yet. he sold stolen goods in catholic areas against strict ira rules which were brutally enforced. are we done? -can i go now, please? which is why i also knew i could trust him. well? i'll take him out on a road test. if he's useless, i'll give him to mi5, tell them he's bloody brilliant. -whoa, ho, ho, ho! jeez, paddy. you watching your family videos again? marty's been working for me. like i say, he's a good lad. -is he? didn't have anything on you, did they? here you go, paddy. oh, jesus. how you doin', ray? -so, martin, sean here says you're a good man. look, man, i didn't see nothin'. that's true, you didn't. and you'd do well to remember that. she's a good woman. -thanks for what you did today. aye, no problem. we'll not forget it. aye. sean, man, how do you know him? -he's ira. is he, now? he is. where's me money? paddy, is there any chance of getting a pair of these in black? -size eight? oh, please, god, no. it's a pipe! it's just a pipe! the bathroom's just upstairs. -do i look like i shot anybody? what reason could you have to search my house for guns? two officers have just been shot. you're irish. where were you two hours ago? -playing football. bullshit! you're only gonna make it worse! i didn't raise you to be thick as a plank! if you were anywhere near this trouble, i'll drag you to the police! -i had nothing to do with it! evil can only do its work if decent people turn a blind eye, even if only for a moment. keep searching! from here on, i'm out. can't figure out what you'd want with a 10p hood like him. -what's this? huh? what's this? heading round your ma's house to do a wee bit of fixing? wouldn't be for stealing cars, would it? -not our frankie. breaking into people's houses? yeah? yeah? joyriding their cars? -now i'm hearing about drugs. these are crimes against the community, my friend, and you've been found guilty. it's not me. i swear. no! -help! help! fuck! hey, hey, hey, hey! what the... -what the fuck are yous after? is that it? you're one lucky wee fucker, frankie. if i'd have brought my .357, your football career would've been done for. you want this lying down or standing up? -standing. right. no! no! fuckin' leave him! -leave him! my jeans. fuck yourjeans. the peelers mightn't give a shite about our community and how wankers like you fuck it up for everyone, but we do, so thank god for the ira. you bastard! -frankie! fucking bastard! that's my brother! that's my wee brother! frankie! -funny coincidence running into you, huh? frankie! frankie! i'm assuming you've no plans for this evening. someone wants to meet you. -fucking bastards! fred. fred. you know that kid martin mcgartland? well, i've taken a special interest. -goddamn it. that's been less than ten minutes. who told you about the meeting with mickey johnson? just lose the file. and not a word to anyone, right? -yeah, right. sorry about the drama. you've gotta be careful. would you get us some ice and a tea towel there, love? i hear the brits took your ma's house apart. -no warrant, no cause. picked you up for questioning. dogs have more rights. here. thanks, love. -away and make yourself a wee cup of tea there. i can see you don't partake in loose talk... or i'd be behind bars now. seems to me like we're on the same side. you're a go-getter. i've been asking around. -a kid like you deserves to work at something, build a future. do you know why you can't get a job? because it makes you easier to beat. the brits underestimate us. this war is being fought on our own footpaths, in our gardens, in our living rooms. -makes for a special kind of man who's defending his own home and community. i'm thinking maybe you'd wanna be part of something that's bigger than your skinny wee arse. bigger than mine. it's as big as a country. well? -do you want the job? ok. paddy's nothing but a wheeler-dealer. that's a sure way of getting your legs broken. a fence is just a tout in training, so you're finished with him, ok? -you got a car? aye, i do. drivers were a perfect way to recruit. i knew martin would be pissed off by the ira for taking out frankie's knees. maybe he'd see mickey's job as an opportunity to get a car and to help us. -that was my hook. in my world, timing is everything, and occasionally we get lucky. i've been asking around for you. i'm glad you're ok. i'm fine, no problem. -come here, frankie. i'll get you in. you ok? you'll be ok, man. look at me, frankie. -i'm sorry, mate, you know? i wish i could have helped you, man. there was nothing i could have done, ok? frankie's got an appointment at the royal. bloody taxis. -we're late. i'm sure we've missed his doctor. next week he goes on tuesday and thursday. you got a car? aye, definitely. -yeah. that'd be brilliant, wouldn't it, frankie? tuesday'd be grand. i'll pick you up on tuesday, ok? four o'clock? -aye, definitely. there's a right way and a wrong way to do this. he's not in our pocket yet. pick him up. let's see what he's made of. -worst case, he ends up another statistic in jail or the morgue. i don't see a downside. he doesn't listen. that's his problem. fuckin' wanker. -hey. what did you say? take him. come here, love. what did you say? -did you say something to me? marty, just walk away. move on. ok, move on. good man. -ok, why would you do that? you're gonna point that at me now? oh, my god! marty, what are you doing? why'd you do that? -are you sick? sick in the head? is that it? sick bastard! i had a wee baby in my arms! -i had a wee baby! ma! marty! you're coming with us right now. fuck off. -i'm his mother! stay back. i was just walking. he kicked me. ma, i swear to god i didn't do anything! -i swear! bloody idiots were supposed to pick you up, not start a riot. what the hell's going on? are you setting me up? a desperate man goes to desperate measures. -i'm fergus. that's a terrible thing happened to your mate frankie. i'm sure the sister, lara, forgot to tell you, her mother got the shoes. thinks you're a rock star. hopefully i've impressed you with our thoroughness because... -i need your help. you met with mickey johnson. never seen him. this is about lives and saving them. they'll do to you what they did to frankie, only worse. -they're terrorists, killers who've found a cause to kill for. terrorists? is that what you think, huh? terrorists? well, i don't see anyone tearing up your house 'cause you're irish, hauling your arse out, getting the shit kicked out of you by soldiers for fun. -huh? the brits have never been in ireland by invitation, so who's the fucking terrorist? i'm offering you a job you can feel good about. they'll offer you a job that'll likely get you killed. it's harder to live for your country than die for it. -a car's expensive. my gift to you. no strings. you see, i'm betting murder isn't in you. memorise this number, then flush the card. -call me anytime. tell them your name's john brown. ask for fergus. they'll find me. how do i know that's not bugged? -well, why would we bother? one phone call, i know where you are. you wanna give me money and a car for nothing? that's fine by me. because i got a job. -you got a real job? aye, a real job. i'm a taxi driver. where's your licence? you need a licence now, do you? -i thought we were in belfast, you wee shit. this is brilliant. don't mind our frankie. he's fine. listen, i was just wondering if maybe i could take you out. -maybe see a film or grab some dinner or something. sure. dinner? ok. look, i think i'm free on thursday. -is that ok? ok. you're on. ok. he's got a real job. -oh, yeah, i forgot. oh, i need you to pick my daughter up for school in the morning. is that ok? aye, no problem. nice shirt. -what, this? hmm. i can pick one up for you if you like. come on. it's not like that. -it beats working for paddy. no complaints about the hours? i like it. you're one of my best drivers. you're reliable. -that counts for everything. know who you remind me of? i don't remind you of anybody. i'm not like anybody else. my ma always said i'm like one in a million. -a million. that's what my ma told me. aye, you're full of shit. who do i remind you of? wee aggie. -who's aggie? i wouldn't trust him with my wife, but i trust him with my life. i've got a bloody spring in me arse. no wonder your aunt gave you this shitbox for free. up yours, man. -i could have got you a deal on a real car. and end up with the peelers on my tail, man? no, thank you. you're a tube. there he is. -here he comes. sean, where are you going, man? you'll catch up with sean later. if god is good and we're lucky. we're going for a spin. -follow that car. it's a nice day. head for larne. i got a big, big night coming up. fine. -i'll just keep my mouth shut, then, will i? aye. just over there. you stay here. i'll look and be right back. -and then you can get on with your big night. now, is there a problem? no problem. good. good enough. -let's go. hello, yeah. can i speak to fergus, please? my name? john. -john brown. so whatever you wanna do. just wear something slinky. it's a really fancy place. i'll pick you up at eight, ok? -all right, speak soon. i'll be there at eight. all right, bye. sounds like marty's got a date. i do, i do. -i'm sorry, ray. you're just not invited. listen, take her... take her somewhere nice. yeah? -oh, my god. it's on fire. is it meant to do that? of course. it looks smashing. -aye, it does. it really does. my pleasure. thank you. so you never answered my question. -what question was that? don't duck it. you have an opinion. i'm not. i don't have an opinion. -you're irish. you were born with an opinion. what are you thinking? i was thinking whether your ma liked them shoes that i got her. that's what i was thinking. -yes. she practically slept with them on. did she? you achieved sainthood. so? -how did we get from me being thrown out of school to suddenly my belief in god, anyway? like, i wanna know about you. like, what's your favourite band? ok, i'm not saying i don't believe in god. i do believe in god. -but he's probably not a catholic god. i don't think god's sitting on a cloud trying to figure out whether he's protestant or catholic or buddhist. everyone's got big opinions about how you should live and who you should love. the government, the peelers, the catholics, the protestants, the brits. i mean, any of them is full of it if they think that they know more about you or me or god than anybody else. -they're more interested in killing than living, which is hard enough to do, keep up with the everyday shit. morrissey, guns n' roses, the pogues and u2, of course. jimmy page is probably one of the finest guitar players alive, and prince is great for having sex. where are we, anyway? near larne. -you know, someone told me about this pub. do you wanna check it out? what's going on there? do you know him? i don't know him. -move it out of here. behind the line. go on, move it. move it. come on. -ok. we're moving. come on. let's go. move back. -under there. come on. aye, you don't stop going on about it, you and minnie mouse. tell you what, give us a lift home. i always give you a lift. -you rode lara, didn't you? you keep track of her period or you'll be shopping for nappies. good man. taking advice from the model da? my kids are beautiful. -besides, being a da's not easy. it's got its responsibilities... fuck me. how you doin'? that's a nice bum. -aye. we sickened 'em today. it's one for our side. look, you gotta expect a bit of killing, a bit of dying in a revolution. that's the way things work. -besides, you're not a man unless you've got a cause. give us a lift. two are critical. why are you working for them? i'm not working for them like that. -i've been driving mickey around. they asked me to pick up quinn, so i did. and they trust you? like i said, it's not like that. why? -well, you called me. why? what's different? everything. you can move on the inside. -dead men will be walking around and becoming grandfathers because of you. that's my community. like, i know some of these people. memorise this. here's your petrol money. -thanks for the tea. anytime. fuck! stop him! hold it! -don't you fucking move! all right! don't shoot! mickey, you take the back roads, dump the cars there and split. johnny will look after things here. -and, lads, make sure no one sees you. ok, let's go! if the peelers get one of the cars, the other two are more likely to get through if we're in a pack. besides, with cargo like this, it keeps us all honest. shit. -sean, what are you doing, man? put that away. i'm serious. put it away. put it away. -if this thing blows, i'll be jesse fucking james. sean, you put that away, man. fucking put it away. put it away. that's quite a car. -yeah, it's my da's. uh-huh. where are you off to today, son? we're just picking him up at the airport, like. you're a long way out of your way. -well, we had to go to my sister's. she's moving, so we're just on our way back round. can i see your licence, please? aye. i told my da to keep it in there. -he must have forgot. can i take a look in the boot, please? aye, no problem. you know what's happened? this is a spare set of keys. -my da's got the main set. it's not gonna work the boot. tell you what. if i give yous a number, maybe you could speak to my sister. have you got a pen? -i can write it down for you. my da'll beat my arse if i'm late. if you could just tell my sister you're calling about martin mcgartland, ok? just wait here, mate. she says she has your keys. -ok. thank you. that's great. thank you. whoo! -they got nothing on us, they don't. so who the fuck's your sister? uh, it was my ma. fucking my ma! your ma? -bloody hell. my ma would have let them have me. good work, man. come on. i was brilliant. -stupid risks cost lives. including yours. so you're my da now? just get the guns. come on. -let's go. who's that? he's a target. and what are you asking questions for? listen, marty, it could just as easily be him scouting you and your family. -go. it's the protestant church up near north road. the target's got three wee girls. what else? look, this guy's got a family as well. -he's just doing his job, you know? ok, ray o'brien is the shooter. that's it. what about sean? look, i don't know nothing about sean. -i told you that. you don't get to pick and choose. this is all in. because i finger you, you're dead. you finger me, i'm dead. -so... there we are. i wanna show you something. he has a kid. a ma, a da. is he a tout? -a tout? he saved at least 30 lives, probably more. he's a goddamn hero. your mates tortured him for seven days, 168 hours, until we found him. sean doesn't get arrested. -a 400lb bomb was your mate's latest gift to the city of belfast, seven people died, and you don't want him arrested? look, he's my mate. he's got two kids from two different women. aw! give me a hanky. -no way. i can't do it. there's no deal. no way. then there's no deal. -what if i give you every detail of every move he makes? you can shut him down, like. come on. i'm into saving my mates as much as yours. look at him. -can't you just look at him? it's a dirty war, and everyone seems to think the end justifies the means, which is why you and your mate are even walking around. how do you know i can do it? you've got no choice. neither have i. -i'm not looking for a da. just... don't get yourself killed. hello. how you doing? yeah, not bad. -it's a cold one, isn't it? aye. that time of year, isn't it? aye, definitely. is this all your gang? -yeah. hi. what's your name? jane. jane, is it? -hello, jane. i like yourjacket, jane. and what's your name? catherine. and what about you? -you ready? you're cheeky, you are, aren't you? aye. anyway, take it easy. have a good one. -i'm pregnant. are you sure? i did a home pregnancy test, and at the hospital... yeah, i'm sure. that's something, isn't it? -it's brilliant. it's fantastic. come on. what did you think i was gonna say? i don't know. -what about my ma? oh, shit, your ma. shit. my ma. i have the washing, but i couldn't find that blue shirt. -what were you doing with the blue... lara, love, you can come out now. look, the two of yous are adults, but if you get yourself pregnant, well, don't go expecting your parents to treat you any different. oh, my. well, then, i guess a "congratulations" is in order. -your father wasn't much of a man to look to, but you're not him. you'll do the right thing or i'll kill you myself. ma, for christ's sake. well, i'll leave you to make a plan. sorry. -there's lots to think about. oh, shit. i was so worried. me too. you ok? -i'm not gonna piss off like my own da, man. i'm gonna stick around, give the kid a wee bit of advice here and there. it's going down on friday. you gonna be ready? i'll be ready. -you're worse than my own ma. i just don't want you to embarrass me, is all. you wouldn't embarrass me, now, would you? wanker. so, lover boy, what are you gonna do when lara's ma finds out that you knocked up her daughter? -don't you worry about that one. there's no way we're shacking up. i don't know. i'm just getting it. i've nowhere else to go. -my mummy, she found out. aw, jeez, look, we can't live here really. you want to shack up? aye. oh, aye, definitely. -come here. we'll be all right, huh, baby? marty mcgartland, you're full of surprises. aye, i know. now, come on. -get inside. i've got school every day, so, like... don't worry about that. i'm fully employed. you know that. -you know that. i love you. me, too. they're gonna hit the vans in the queue. too many civilians for the boat itself makes for bad press. -now, i know they've got a shitload of semtex, a load of weapons, make sure this really goes off. you know what mickey said to me? what? he said he was so pleased with the upland operation that he's bumping me up to b battalion. yes! -i thought you'd like that. i like that. you know what else he said? what? he's sending me to meet mcfarlane. -he... oh, come on. it's bloody brilliant. that's bloody brilliant. i'm here to prepare volunteers, in case you get interrogated by the police. -they'll come in banging in the night, screaming to confuse you. press this button to get directly through to me. punch in a number, i call you. ok. appliance of science, that's brilliant. -i like that. very james bond. ask the duty sergeant to see the doctor before they beat you. the harder they hit, the harder you hit back. curl up in a ball and protect your head. -you'll need it. unless, of course, they cuff you, in which case you're fucked. you know, they'll hold your head underwater till your eyes are spinning. again and again, for a couple of hours. if they won't let you go to the toilet, strip right down in front of them and take a shit. -they'll squeeze your balls with a pair of pliers, twist your thumbs out their sockets. ok, man, like, i get it. you say one thing, they'll have you for seven years. you'll say whatever they want to make it stop. think, outsmart them, but never underestimate them. -you admit to anything, you'll end up in a ditch with a cattle prod up your arse. my car's marked, right? you bugged my place. i've got this wee buzzer here. look, there's someone on my tail 24 hours a day. -yeah, but it doesn't mean i don't worry. no shit. we just passed our exams, a wee bit. aye. this one got here two as. -and a b. two as and a b. well, cheers to that. cheers. mm. -don't you worry about this. i'll go and get the next round. give us a hand, marty. sean, i don't drink. give us a hand. -i know you're not. sorry. two lagers, please. there's a fucking leak. they got everything. -bloody waste of semtex, it was. brit blood would've spilled. aye, jesus christ, what a waste. if we didn't have bad luck, we'd have no fucking luck at all. fucking peelers, man. -peeler, yeah. it's times like this, it makes you think about your family and puts it all into perspective. i wanna see my damn kids, you know. anyway... what's with him? -he's just drunk. feel that? did it kick? is it kicking? it's a ballerina in there. -that is a footballer. ballerina. footballer. let's go home and fight about it. ok. -did you know pregnant girls are extra horny? let's definitely go home, then. let's go. head of security'll be there. you don't think they're onto me? -do whatever they ask. if they suspect you're not 100%, you'll be out or dead, and, well, we have no one moving up the inside like you. ok. good luck. cut him down. -sean. sean. come on, let's get out. i wanna hear him say it. he'll say anything right about now. -what are you gonna do with that? relax, relax, relax. you're a good lad. i wanna know about the operation on portsmouth, what you told the cops. what did you tell them? -nothing. nobody is taking the chance. it's nil-nil. no! no! -money? it's not much good to you now, is it? what are you gonna do with those? you're a tout. what are you? -i'm not! i'm not! what are you? nothing! what are you? -a tout. all right, lads, listen up. speak into that. i'm a tout. just tell my mum i said sorry. -just tell her i'm sorry. good man. marty. marty, come here. he's a tout. -stiff him. don't, please. come on, brother. we haven't all day. do it! -just fucking do it! no, don't! don't kill me! don't! it's my operation. -he's my tout. get him out of here. you... clean up this mess. you knew this was gonna happen. and you didn't? -they completely trust you now. i had a gun at his head, like. you said i couldn't do it, i didn't have murder in me. i was so scared, i swear to god, i might have done it. i lied. -we all have murder in us. you? the hunters become the hunted, yes. is that what you tell yourself to make it all ok? the price of a conscience is death. -none of us can afford it. they're swearing me in. i'm gonna be a full volunteer. do you have any idea what that means to the next person you're going to save? i've put a block on your house. -it means it's off limits to the peelers. store weapons for the ira, we'll trace 'em every time they're moved. 89, cutland road, right? there's an ruc officer who's gonna be hit by friday. they're gonna blow him up with a car bomb. -now, is that it? i'd like to get out now, please. i don't blame the ira for killing him. i blame me son for the choice he made to go against his family and his community. it doesn't get any easier, son. -it's all about saving lives, isn't it? it's gotta be done. i dream that one day we'll walk as free men in our own country. the british have made us into their poor, stupid cousins. the ira is here to show them that an ounce of resistance is worth a pound of votes. -do you know who said that? no. bobby sands. he was quoting vladimir lenin, mastermind of the russian revolution. he changed the world and built a nation. -you've been through the lectures and the books? aye. have you been green-booked? aye. then you know volunteers who engage in loose talk shall be dismissed. -volunteers found guilty of treason face the death penalty. i understand. this is no picnic. you'll end up dead or in jail. there's no going back. -once you're in, you're in. you understand your responsibility in the community? people look up to you. behave accordingly. you've already passed their security, and mickey says you're a good lad, so... -i, martin mcgartland, promise to promote the objects of the óglaigh na héireann to the best of my knowledge and ability, to obey all orders and regulations issued to me by the army authority and by my superior officer. martin mcgartland, you are now a full volunteer of the irish republican army. congratulations. thank you. thank you. -come on. come on. i'm proud of you, son. the fuckin' brits took my son away from me. i will never let that happen to you. -ok? big things next year. aye, ok. you'll be a hero. yeah. -don't mess this up, marty. come on, man, give us my flag. you'll have it when you're dead. marty, hang about. there's someone i want you to meet. -listen, one of our top operatives needs a right-hand man, ok? hello, gents. this the marty you've all been talking about? they call me grace. hi. -i'm marty. it's a pleasure. marty's gonna enjoy this assignment. yeah, ok. grace sterrin. -oh, aye. what, you know her, do you? i know grace, yeah. then you'll know she's a nice, nice, nice-looking lady. we've been trying to get her for years. -she's senior intelligence. uses her body like mata hari. i mean, i would have to be forced. i would consider... i would definitely give her one. -you and a few others. you would as well, would you? wouldn't you like to know? i would, yeah. wouldn't you like to fucking know? -i don't wanna know what's going on in your dirty mind. she's a big fish, which means she makes everyone nervous. people are idiots when they're nervous. that makes them easy. ok, stay outside. -mickey told me i could come in. he's a worrier. nothing's gonna happen. mickey said, so i've got to do it, ok? if i'm not out in ten minutes, go home, 'cause it means i'm dead, ok? -hiya. hi. cheers. please leave a message. lara, it's me. -just letting yous know i'm not gonna be too much longer. i'll be home pretty soon, ok? and i was also wondering if there was any chance you could make me that special apple crumble that you make? if you could get that going for dessert, that would make a working man happy. apple crumble? -listen, i gotta go. ok, bye. you really shouldn't knock it till you try it. i don't cook. what happened in there? -like, it didn't take very long. i got what i came for. want to meet me for a drink later? purely social. i'd love to, but i just don't think it's a very good idea. -aye, apple crumble. apple crumble. i really do have a pretty serious girlfriend. she's pregnant, and we're living together and everything. just thought a wee drink would be fun. -here. take this to allan in turf lodge. i told him you'd have it there by one. if you're late, he'll be thinking you're up to something. jesus christ! -man, were you following me? they gave me this. when you jumped the ladder, a platoon started following you. next time, take your car. i have about 12 minutes before they think i stopped to copy that. -these are prison guards at maze. what's this schedule? football? i don't have time to talk. can we just move on? -i've got to get out. lara's water broke. what? don't worry. her ma's taking her to the hospital. -shit. shit, shit, shit. her ma took her? yeah. even mothers forgive when it comes to grandchildren. -this is not good. this is not, not good. oh, man, now i've gotta drop this off before i can get up to the hospital. look, fergus, will you come? shit! -it's about time you showed up. are you ready to be a da? two sugars. that's perfect. thank you. -brilliant. listen, fergus, thank you so much for coming. it means so much to me. thank you. i'm telling you, it's just... -it really has just been amazing, you know? yeah. i remember the day my johnny was born. yeah, it's quite something. we don't see too much of each other now. -casualty of the business. we've already moved the officers off that list. but don't worry. we've relocated all the officers, making it look routine. you're covered. -ok. hey. oh, ok. well, we have to wet the baby's head. yes, we do. -we absolutely do. that is a very, very good plan. oh, i've got a few plans up me sleeve. my god, i need that. what's his name? -he's patrick. wee patrick. patrick. aye. well, cheers, patrick. -you've got one hell of a father. so does johnny. hey, marty. jeez, sean. marty. -sean, what are you doing? how you doing, man? check it out. i'm a da! who the fuck is that? -he's just some happy uncle. check him out. come on. look at that. what's his name? -he's patrick. patrick. he's got lovely eyes, just like mine. what are these? they're fucking shoes. -well, they're, uh... they're lovely. hand it over! i didn't hear you come in. obviously. it's not what it seems, ok? -don't bullshit me. you think i don't know what you do? it's just for a few days, that's it. it's the ra, and if not them, the peelers. between the two, you'll end up either dead or in jail, and then what about us? -what do you mean, what about us? it's just for a few days, that's all. you have to decide, because we're not waiting around for the call that they've found you in a ditch with a bullet hole in your head. thank you. for how long? -grace is checking out a libyan shipment of weapons. we're her security. so we're meeting a libyan gun dealer? and they're probably eating couscous. you don't know what couscous is. -the libyans do? it's disgusting. they've got awful breath, they do. it's a fact. he actually said he wanted me to take over the entire operation on me own? -ok, fair point. fair point. thank you for not making me say it. and did you have something to do with this as well? did you speak to mickey? -maybe a wee bit. well, thank you for doing that. it was his choice. this is just mad. i've never even been out of ireland before, and now all this. -i know. i can tell. oh, you can tell? mm-hm. it's cute. -oh, great. now i'm cute. don't be so sensitive. cute can be, um, a very good thing. well, then, i'm sensitive. -and cute. look, grace, i'm sorry. i just can't do that. you turned her down, didn't you?

who is kirby atwood? i'm not sure. he may have worked on one of the photo s pots. would you know this person if he came into the room? -there are so many people wandering around those things. i could've said something. or offended someone by accident. nico, i get it. -i offend 60 people in one time zone before i'm awake in another. people like us are easy targets.ar if i need to do something- we'll investigate his claim. -if needs be, we'll tap into a slush fund we have set aside for this sort of thing. hector, i don't know what to say. then don't say a word. i want you working, not distracted. -you're too important to this organization. well, what'd you think? wait. i know the sitar can be monotonous. and we're definitely gonna color correct -the father's teeth. but i want your honest opinion. because i happen to really love it. i think bombay in the '30s is incredibly romantic. but my opinion is not important. -even though i think it's really, really great. so talk. i liked it. you did? why? -what was your favorite part? the clothes. the clothes, that's itha and the story and the characters. but the shoes. -were they hand embroidered? nico? did anything stick with you? besides footwear?

i mean, after being with the same person for so many years, to have someone else touch you. know your flaws. how doat leap of faith with a stranger? -how do you do that? i would need a bucket of booze. we could use another bucket of booze right about now. how well did you know him, before- well, not well at all. -i mean, maybe that's why it was so amazing. i mean, when i'm with him it's like i'm out of my life. i thought i could handle it. until now. what took you so long to tell us about this? -we tell each other everything. i tell you guys about things that i'm afraid to shomy dermatologist. you still haven't had that looked at? shut-up, e subject is her. -are you in love with this guy? no. no! i didn't tell you guys because i didn't want you looking at me -the way you're looking at me now. well, i can't help it. you and charles. my role models for the perfect marriage. i'm sorry i let you down. -you didn't let her down. you just let me down?

'cause he's 25. -he lives on ramen and red bull. he's got nothing to lose and everything to gain. it makes no sense. i mean we were so intimate. no, you weren't. -you were naked. there's a difference. intimacy is what you have with charles. okay, what about you and charles? what is going to happen with you and charles? -oh, my god. can't we discuss that part tomorrow? that is a whole 'nother bottle. but i'm worried about you guys. aren't you gonna tell him? -why, just to relieve my guilt?

i of course, yeah. i just need some time to look over this. okay. -get it back to me by the end of the day. hello? hello? hey, what about this? think she'd like it? -hmm, maybe if she wanted to cover the wall in her dorm. okay, don't move. over there. 1:00, check it out. you wanna put chloe jamison in a cardigan and loafers? -no, that is lana tamborelli from women's apparel weekly. do we like her? we hate her. she trashed my last show. let's get out of here. -why? why? because the headline of her review said, "ms. ford is running on an empty tank". let's go. -you've got nothing to be ashamed of. you're here to dress a movie star. she's here to find something to cover arm fat. ms. ford? how does chloe feel about raw silk? -too itchy? and what about this? have we ever seen chloe jamison in salmon before? or do you think it'll clash too much with the red carpet? victory? -sweetie, how are you?

nico, i warned you that it would make it worse. let the legal department handle this. the legal department wants me to sign a statement -saying that he basically attacked me. it makes him look like a predator. his reputation will be completely ruined. well he didn't seem too concerned about what he was doing to yours. -sign the paper. i can't destroy someone else's life just to save my own. how about to save your marriage? hey. sorry. -spent the last 20 minutes trying to convince my class that the new world was conquered because of a caffeine addiction. i remember tcture. it required a lot of caffeine. yeah. -so what brings you all the way up here?

thank you. you know, you are one lucky woman. you know that, right? -th was a kind gesture. well, she's not the first to hand in something late. you still owe me a paper on thomas paine, i believe. oh, don't make me read that again. i'll go check the specials. -we have a visitor. ms. ford? uh-huh? shhasn't moved since the today show. i'm a little concerned -about where all those green tea lattes are going. come on. you need lunch. no! okay, then you need a catheter. -we'll have fun. you can eat sushi off my tummy this time. joe, no.stop it. i need to fix this sleeve. it looks like a sling. -it's a disaster. can i be the judge of this? i happen to know a lot about spectacular dresses. i've taken off one or two in my time. really, you like to tuck? -or you just roll with the bulge? don't you have something to collate, son? come on, let me see. wow. i like it.it's cute. -cute? what is cute? this is an evening gown, not a onesie. no, no, come on. what i meant- -no, you're right. it is. it's cute. i hate it. don't listen to me. -i'm fashion impaired. no, i needed to hear that. everything is riding on this dress. and i will not let lana tamborelli use me as her litter box. -this dress has to stop traffic. should she be handling scissors? do you wanna take them away from her? ah, nico. i just gotff the phone with maybelline. -they are over the moon about next week's photo shoot. what do you need, mike? i don't need anything. i was just trying to pay you a compliment. i mean, weren't you the one who came up with the whole -jake gyllenhaal, shirtless-on-the-beach concept? uh, yeah, thanks. you're welcome. i bet you're really looking forward to that shoot yourself, huh? -excuse me? well, you like the young ones. right? book the ones i circled. wendy, you got a minute? -not really. gotta call the caterer back. i just got an invoice for an elephant. the big one or the little one? oh, this is out of control. -fire eaters, belly dancers, an elephant? this is not a premiere party. this has become cirque du soleil. no party should cost more than the film. come on.how am i supposed to justify these expenses to hector? -well that's your job, sal. right now i've gotta find port-a-potties in the shape of the taj mahal. since when is that your job? we hire event planners. -we'll treat this like any other p wendy, no party is gonna make a film into a hit. maybe not. but i'll be damned if i let another great little movie slip under the radar. -this is the kind of film i got into the business to make, sal. it's about people, human dignity, sacrifice. if we don't at least try to help audiences find the good ones, we might as well not bother at all. -look, i understand your passion. but you're losing objectivity by getting caught up in tiny details. you gotta keep your eye on the bigger picture. i totally agree. -where're you going? to check out the beads on chloe's dress. they're hand blown. you promised me this charge would be kept confidential. id me that you would handle it discreetly. -i have. really, then why does mike harness know about it? i have no idea. but i can assure you, if he or anyone else heard about it my department wasn't the source. -nico, do you want me to speak to mike? no, i-i-i don't want this discussed. this was never supposed to go beyond this room. you were supposed to protect me. we've done everything we can. -what makes you so sure that this information wasn't spread by your accuser? so there's still some finishing work to be done. but it's-it's almost there. and i just-i think chloe's gonna love it. -i mean, i hope. oh, wait, wait. let me just see who this is. sorry. is it nico? -no. have you spoken to her yet? no, i don't know what to say. just say hello. how are you? -i can't. this whole thing ju makes me feel weird. can she lose her job over this? oh, don't even go there. and then what about charles? -how're we supposed to look him in the eye, knowing? we didn't do anything wrong. shde a mistake. yeah, well, wen, this is a big mistake. great job. -great apartment, great husband. but now, because she chose to mess around with the wrong guy, she stands to lose everything. everything. doesn't that freak you out? -yes, it does. but she can't lose us too. and tonight i have a big movie opening. so show me the dress. huh. -i get you something? yeah, a whiskey, neat. and a little insight would be nice. kirby, i know that you are angry at me. but do you have any idea what this will do to me? -what it will do to both of us? at least you still have your job. as you can see i've had to make some career changes. i never meant for that to happen. i told you i was sorry. -i tried to make it up to you. yeah, me, and uh how many others? what are you talking about? the others? -i guess you think it's one of the perk of running a magazine, huh? you have a legal department to clean up the mess. you can move on to your next fun little fling. right? -who put this in your head? mike harness? what if he did? i can't believe with all the time that we have spent together that you would trust mike harness over me. -wow. yo, kirby. you retired? can you just go? i seem to lose jobs when you're around. -hold still. this looks different from the last fitting. it's not as sexy. whatever, nothing looks good on me right now. do you have a bathroom i can use? -second door on the left. great. what's wrong with her? she broke up with her boyfriend this morning. thinks he's cheating on her. -don't ask. can i ask what happened to the dress? wendy had some notes. she wanted a jacket. thought that the dress was too reveg. -wanted something to reflect movie's spiritual themes. it's chloe jamison. she loves to show off what god gave her. yeah, well, apparently wendy missed the esquire cover where she was wearing two cocktail napkinand a pineapple. -i should probably keep my nose clean, but you're the designer, not mrs. healy. he just called me. who? deegan. -but it doesn't matter, 'cause i'm not gonna call him back. and you know what, i'm gonna bag this premiere. what? chloe, you can't do that, it's your movie. i'll rent it. -chloe, you have to be there. the best revenge is showing up and looking fabulous. well, i don't want revenge. i just want him back. well, then you need to go in there and call him -and see what he has to say. maybe he wants you back. listen, if i've learned anything in the last few days, it's that sometimes what you don't say ends up hurting you more than what you do. -hmm? can't we just show a little more? no, um. this look is really fabulous on you. and this jacket really makes it. -what have you got for me, josh? your rough cut screening has been pushed to tuesday. i moved two pitches to friday. and tonight's party should go perfect except for a few minor hiccups. -hiccups? as in, "hold your breath, count to ten and they're gone"? those kind of hiccups? maybe more like an aneurysm. talk to me, josh. -well, the peta people found out about the elephant and they're threatening a huge protest. about the elephant? about the gift bags. turns out someone put coupons for omaha steaks in there. -new p.r. girl thought that "cows are sacred", meant they really like beef. so they're threatening a big protest. and that's not the worst news. there's more? -have you rea tmz? chloe jamison broke up with deegan mcneil. and he's still going to the premiere. could get ugly. okay. -here's what i want you to do. gather the interns. get them to pull the steak coupons out of the gift bags. cancel the elephant, make a donation to peta. assign somebody to meet chloe's ex at the limo line -and get him inside right away so she doesn't see him. and seat him in the balcony behind-i don't know. shaquille o'neal. we don't have interns. well then you better use both hands. -he hey. there was a mix-up. and the jeweler sent over two necklaces. i'm tempted to wear them both, but then i'll look like elton john. -what are you wearing tonight? i really haven't given it mucthought. so we out of creamer? nico, what's going on? mike harness put kirby up to the lawsuit. -what? yeah. that's how badly he wants me to go away. what a snake. well, you've gotta tell hector. -can't. why not? well, because then i'd have to tell hector that i lied to his face. yeah, but it wasn't harassment. -the kid came on to you. wendy, i slept with him. then i got him fired. and i'm his superior. that's calledsexual ha -what are you gonna do? all right, look. remember that day in the park, when you asked usedabout whetheit was fa to expect everything from one person? -that's been on my mind ever since. god knows, i can't imagine my life without shane. but there's some things he'll never be. at times, i've been in the same place you were. nico, you're not the first person to think -aboutaking a walk on the wild side. you just did it. most of us never leave the curb. i guess i never went there because what i don't get from shane -i always smed to get from you. and victory. i just wish we could've known you were hurting so much. so maybe we could've saved you from all of this. is there anything i can do? -no. i just... i have to deal with the consequences myself. i just don't want charles to hear it from somewhere else. there's nothing between ted and me. -i said you didn't have to explain. i know all about what ppened n you and ted. my only purpose in seeing you was to see if you're any different than an ordinary manicurist. now that i've met you, my dear, ms. allen, -i feel you're quite... are you through? there's one thing i think we haven't covered. yes, wendy, i made all of your changes. good. -she's wearing the vest. great. and when the party's over, we can give her outfit to condoleezza. all right, no attitude, please. -we're in the home stretch. how's chloe? is she freaking out about deegan? not gonna be a problem. she's in the other room talking to him right now. -been in there for an hour. i'm sure ey patched things up. really? oh, thank god. that's one less thing for me to worry about. -okay, uh, well- never mind, i'll see you there. you're welcome! chloe? can i help you find something? -bourbon! where is your damn bourbon? why did you macall him? what happened? some skank-whore-bitch answered the phone! -that's what happened. can i mix gin with vodka? not after labor day. okay, come on sweetie. you got a long night ahead of you. -this tie is driving me crazy tonight. let me try. ah, i think i've got it. how's that? okay? -i look okay? there you go. thanks. what would i do without you? let the machine get it. -ah, it might be the dean. he wants to go over next semester schedules. hi, it's megan. i just wanted to thank you again for being so amazing. -if there's any way i can make it up- don't look at me. i did not give her this number. that's google for you, huh? no one has any privacy anymore. -ready? nici ready. i don't understand. you told her to call the boyfriend? -why would you do that? what wthinking? i was thinking that i wanted her to show up tonight wearing my dress at your opening. okay, calm down. -how bad is it? not bad. she may need a little bit of coffee. well give her the whole pot. and make sure that the driver brings her to the side entrance. -side entrance? so she can skip the red carpet and still do the party after. i did not accidentally swallow, and have to recover three hand blown glass beads -so that she could skip the red carpet. she needs to be photographed on that carpet wearing my dress. she will be fine, trust me. no, i can't. -i've got too much riding on this. wendy! no! no red carpet. just do as i told you, victory. -that's it. or i'll call the driver myself. here you go. thanks, what is it? it's called "cobra venom". -but i think it's just vodka and lemonade. and yours? indian ginger ale. it's gonna cure indian heartburn. how many of those samosas did i eat yway? -i wasn't counting. you should, i depend on you for that. nico, there you are. i've been looking for you everywhere. charles, nice to see you. -nice to be seen. may i hijack you for a moment? yes, of course. i'll be right back. soover. -what? mr. kirby atwood has dropped the charges. excellent news, wouldn't you say? yes, that's wonderful. i'm still baffled by what it is he truly wanted. -i mean, did he think he could blackmail his way into becoming a star photographer? anyway, congratulations. we've dodged a bullet. enjoy the party. -thank you. you too. hey, what was all that about? oh, it's just, uh, work stuff. listen, sweetie, would you mind if i saw the movie on dvd? -this ginger ale is definitely not working. then let's go. i've already seen the movie. no, no, you should stay here. all right? -wendy's taking attendance. thank you. have a good time.i'll see you later. okay, bye. well done, wendy. -smashing party. you've outdone yourself. aw, thank you. let's hope it translates into box office. oh, it will. -can i talk to you for a minute? uh, later, josh. we've already gotten the nod from a national critic. great. if you'll excuse me for just a minute. -there's a chutney crisis. honey? yeah, all right. okay, okay. victory, what are you doin -i told you to bring chloe around to the de. she says she can do the red carpet. she insisted. wendy, hi. it's wendy. -oh, my g you look so hot. thanks. sir, would you please pull the car around to the side entrance? lady, we're blocked. -no, just stay-stay- move over. do you guys mind if i don't use a glass for this? yes, yes. you know, victory, this is, by far, -the most selfish thing you have ever done. this entire evening is not about you. no, you made that clear when you chose the color thread i had to use for the hem. i made a suggestion. -no, you didn't. you barked an order. what are you talking about? i'm the one who got you this job. and why? -so that you could micromanage and control every last detail? you don't care about my opinion. you don't trust my judgment. need i say more? oh, my god. -please do not pin this one on me. why not? i left her in your care. well, i'm not her keeper. and you are not mine. -i am so tired of being talked to like i am the baby sister. when have i ever treated you like that? i'm not even allowed to have an opinion on nico's relationship. -because i'm not married, anything i have to say is irrelevant. this is absurd. i don't have time for this. i don't either. -would you please get back in the car would you please stop trying to control everyone? i am not trying to control everyone. i am ting to control a three hour premiere. you guys have any crushed ice? -chloe, could you please roll up the window, please? sir would you please bring the car around to the side. deegan! my god. listen to you, wen. -you know your business card says "studio executive". not "fashion designer", not "traffic cop". why don't you let people do their jobs? oh, well forgive me if i can't trust everyone to do the right thing right now. -there are some people in my life that are paying big time for making some reay stupid decisions. oh, no, whoa. do not confuse me with someone else. i designed a dress. -i didn't cheat on my husband. this is not what this is about. really? when's the last time you left work and raced down 30 blocks to check a whipstitch? -i don't know yet. her lawyer thinks that she's gonna be charged with a dul. four miles an hour. if anything it should be parking under the influence. oh, hang on. -hey, josh, how'd it go? it's still going. this party is rockin'! i meant the movie. how did people feel about the movie? -uh, you want me to ask? no, never mind. sal? yeah, i'm here. listen, we got the whole p.r. department working on this. -how you holdin' up? i'm fine. what a disaster, huh? are you kidding? it's a coup. -your star gets wasted, tries to run over her ex and his porn star date. yeah, i think they'll be talking about this movie, wendy. yeah, good to be me. i couldn't decide how we should celebrate -champagne or a bubble bath. so we're doing both. you think champagne tickles when you drink it. you have a tub, right? we're not celebrating anything. -nobody liked the dress? nobody even saw the dress. should we discuss this under bubbles? i don't deserve a bath. yeah, but you kinda need one. -i deserve to be spanked. i had a huge fight with wendy. i acted like a spoiled child. and i wouldn't be surprised if she never wants to see me again. ? -so i guess now would be a really bad time to ask you if i could do that jane austen thing you guys are developing? yeah, it might be. i'm really sorry. i really screwed up tonight, didn't i? -eh, it happens. i wasn't exactly on my best behavior tonight either. bail's been posted, ms. jamison. you're free to go. listen, there's a bunch of reporters out front. -you can go out the back way ifou want. actually, if you don't mind, chloe, i'd like you to go out the front. ah, great idea. oh, wait. -much better. how much you been drinking today? are you pregnant with deegan mcneil's baby? chloe, whore you wearing? victory ford. -hey, your dress looks great. ke the pattern on the front. it's a stain. that's what happens whrbon mskey hand me my phone. -have i told you how much i liked the movie? you don't have to say that. i will share the bottle. oh, no, i did. i was really caught up in it. -yeah, but would you tell your friends? hmm. what do you think i was doing while you were in jail? you're buzzing. well, that's nice. -why'd you do it? what? why'd you drop the charges? what do you want, kirby? you. -previously on lipstick jungle... i've already showered. can we order a bottle of wine? i thought you wanted to get a fast lunch. oh, i have nothing to rush back for. -victory, it's called a transition. downsizing to a smaller office is a transition. making dresses in your kitchen is called mildred pierce. did we have a fight last night, and if so in which time zone? it wasn't a fight. -this is about you not wanting to be a part of my world. oh, god! hey! everything okay? i just thought maybe... -i don't know, if you wanted to bring a different assistant... no kirby? why? what'd he do? didn't i see you at the prince william shoot? -i'm mike. kirby atwood. do you know him? i'm not sure that i do. then why is he claiming you sexually harassed him? -nico? who is kirby atwood? i'm not sure. he may have worked on one of the photo shoots. well, would you know this person if he came into the room? -there are so many people wandering around those things. i could've said something or offended someone by accident. nico, i get it. i offend 60 people in one time zone before i'm awake in another. people like us are easy targets. -if i need to do something... we'll investigate his claim. if needs be, we'll tap into a slush fund we have set aside for this sort of thing. hector, i don't know what to say. then don't say a word. -i want you working, not distracted. you're too important to this organization. well, what do you think? wait. i know the sitar can be monotonous and we're definitely gonna color-correct the father's teeth, but i want your honest opinion because i happen to really love it. -i think bombay in the '30s is incredibly romantic, but my opinion is not important. even though i think it's really, really great. so, talk. i liked it. you did? -why? what was your favorite part? the clothes. the clothes. that's it? -and the story and the characters. but the shoes! were they hand-embroidered? nico? did anything stick with you besides footwear? -it's good, wendy. it's sweeping. it's touching. you have a big hit on your hands. i'm sleeping with a 25-year-old. -what did you just say? i'm sleeping with a 25-year-old. was. what? what? -what? your 5:00 conference call. cancel it. can't you see i'm in a meeting? go. -what's going on with charles? does he know? of course not and he never will. it's over. if you don't count the sexual-harassment suit. -okay, does this room have a mini-bar? it just happened. i don't know how to explain it. it was impulsive. it was fantastic. -it was like it was happening to someone else. it was like i was in my own movie. better than anything i've rented this month. sorry. go ahead. -what was that like? i mean, after being with the same person for so many years, to have someone else touch you, know your flaws... how do you make that leap of faith with a stranger? how do you just do that? i would need a bucket of booze. -we could use another bucket of booze right about now. how well did you know him before... well, not well at all. i mean, maybe that's why it was so amazing. i mean, when i'm with him, it's like i'm out of my life. -i thought i could handle it, until now. what took you so long to tell us about this? we tell each other everything. i tell you guys about things that i'm afraid to show my dermatologist. you still haven't had that looked at? -shut up. the subject is her. are you in love with this guy? no. no! -i didn't tell you guys because i didn't want you looking at me the way you're looking at me now. well, i can't help it. you and charles, you guys were like my... my role models for the perfect marriage. i'm sorry i let you down. -you didn't let her down, you just... let me down. not helping. well, i didn't cheat on you. but you didn't tell us, so you kind of did. -i'm a little bit angry, too. i'm not angry. i'm hurt. sound angry to me. okay! -we're all angry. you know what? why don't you all sue me? let's get the busboy and make it a class action. how did it go from amazing to lawsuit? -did it really end that badly? i tried to fix it and i just made a mess of the whole thing. i don't understand why he would want to hurt me like this. 'cause he's 25. he lives on ramen and red bull. -he's got nothing to lose and everything to gain. it makes no sense. i mean, we were so... intimate. no, you weren't. -you were naked. there's a difference. intimacy is what you have with charles. okay, what about you and charles? what is going to happen with you and charles? -oh, my god, can we discuss that part tomorrow? that is a whole nother bottle. but i'm worried about you guys. i mean, aren't you gonna tell him? why? -just to relieve my guilt? i'm not leaving him for kirby. if i told him, that would make charles feel terrible about himself and worse about me. she's right. wow. -well, i wouldn't know what to do. i'm so glad i'm not you. all i want to do is look kirby in the eye and ask him, "why?" don't do that. it'll make it a lot worse. -let the company handle it. promise me, nico? i promise. all right. bye. -bye. taxi! hey. hey, do you want to take this one? yeah. -go. that way you guys can talk about me behind my back. oh, honey, nobody's gonna be talking about you behind your back. i love you. can you believe her? -i knew something was up the day we were in the park. remember that guy? with the tiny gym shorts? she was in total cougar mode. does she look thinner to you? -at least six pounds. do you really think this is about the sex? i mean, i would never risk my marriage for that. talk to me after you've been married 17 years. oh, i don't think it matters whether or not you've been married. -it does. trust me. taxi! hey. hey. -oh, my god, you're doing laundry. i love you. i love you, too. but it's just socks. you wait till you see me fold 'em. -is taylor asleep? yeah, finally. and maddie's still at dance class. you got anything that needs to be washed? i think these jeans are really dirty. -i think they need to be washed. really? right now. wow. what brought this on? -do you want to talk or do you want to do laundry? i want to do laundry. hang on. there you go. hello. -hi. so, does this mean we're okay? because if you want me to join the posse for boggle night... now, don't be an ass. so, for now, i'm willing to see my friends on my own time. -works for me. i missed you. why have you never been married? i don't know. i guess i just never met the right guy. -i'm serious. and smelling a lot like my wine cellar. answer me. okay. why am i not married? -i'm a businessman. i don't believe in entering into merger negotiations unless i'm absolutely certain it is a lifetime investment. how's that? works for me. hi. -hey, sweetheart. how was your day? fine. morning. can we talk? -you don't talk, you badger. what is it? bombay highway. what about it? it's a nice little movie, if you like nice little movies about two people stricken with cholera. -it's malaria and they're cured by act three. well, be that as it may, i really think a limited push to the art house crowd is the way to go. yeah? really? i was thinking huge premiere, tons of press and a red carpet. -wendy, we got a lot of big-budget projects coming up. money is tight. do i need to remind you what happened with your last little gem? that was a great film. it bombed! -didn't even cover its print costs. that's because it didn't get the promotional push it deserved. nobody saw it. that premiere party was a step above potluck. mmm. -was that your potato salad? stay out of my way, okay? this movie is a sleeper. it could be another little miss sunshine. sunshine takes place in the slums of calcutta. -bombay. and we are gonna make a lot of noise, starting with a monster premiere party and all the stars. i confirmed chloe jamison last week for the red carpet. chloe jamison just confirmed! see? -wendy, you're my boss. i support whatever you want. but we both know people don't stay the head of a film studio unless they make movies that make money. and all i'm doing is spending a little extra to make sure this one does. but if it doesn't, hector's not gonna let you make another passion project for a while. -so i'm just asking, are you sure you want to go out on a limb for this one? absolutely. you wanted to see me? yes, nico. come in. -this is judith treadwell from legal. it seems your accuser, mr. atwood, has turned down the money we offered him. quite a sizeable amount, i might add. he's going ahead with his harassment claim. obviously, it's not the quick resolution we'd hoped for. -we'll try to continue to keep the matter quiet, of course, but the sooner... what do you think he wants, nico? is there any truth to his claim? no. absolutely not. -take whatever action you need to protect our assets. thank you, nico. yes. okay, who has the mushu? the tandoori chicken? -i just want pizza. well, i'm fixing you a plate. spring roll, two pieces of sushi, and a slice of pizza. just once, it would be nice if we all agreed on one takeout place. globalization, love. -it's bad for the planet, but it's great for leftovers. who had just returned from promoting... hang on. isn't that your movie they're talking about? oh! -turn it up. ...bombay highway's wide release. bombay highway. it's a real departure for you, isn't it, chloe? definitely, yeah. -and india, it's, like... it's, like, awesome. but it's so far, you know, away. wow, that's your girl. rumor has it that you and rocker degan mcneal are getting serious. -anything you want to announce? it's going really well. you always look so fabulous on the red carpet, chloe. can you tell us who you'll be wearing this time? i'm not sure. -i received... where's the phone? under the egg rolls. where's the phone? all right, give it to me. -victory ford studio. oh, hi. it's mrs. healy. will you call her wendy? she's not a math teacher. -hey. what's up? hey, vic. what are you doing right now? i'm trying to design a jacket, which looks more like a handbag, with a four inch heel. -how would you feel about chloe jamison wearing a victory ford design at the premiere? what? are you serious? well, i'd have to convince her first. with the press that girl gets, i would kill. -the only cover she's not on this month is guns and ammo. can you come up with something fabulous by friday? god, yes! all right, i'll see what i can do. talk to you tomorrow. -perfect. wait! wendy! yeah? thanks. -you got it. well, i'll send you. look, i got to call you back. did we have a meeting scheduled? something's come up. -have a seat. there's a witness who saw you with kirby atwood. of course there is. there are a dozen people at a photo shoot. it wasn't a photo shoot. -the web launch party. this witness said they saw him talking to you at the bar and then follow you into the ladies' room. clearly, he made an unwanted sexual advance and when you rebuffed him, he filed this harassment claim in revenge. i prepared a statement for you to sign to that effect. all you have to do is sign it and we'll paint him as a predator. -by the time i'm done with mr. atwood, he'll be lucky if he doesn't have to register as a sex offender and leave the state. i can guarantee he'll go away. that is what we want, isn't it? of course, yeah. i just need some time to look over this. -okay. get it back to me by the end of the day. hello? hello? hey, what about this? -think she'd like it? maybe if she wanted to cover the wall in her dorm. hey. okay, don't move. over there. -1:00, check it out. you want to put chloe jamison in a cardigan and loafers? that is lana tamborelli, from women's apparel weekly. do we like her? we hate her. -she trashed my last show. let's get out of here. why? why? because the headline of her review said -"miss ford is running on an empty tank." let's go. you've got nothing to be ashamed of. you're here to dress a movie star. she's here to find something to cover arm fat. miss ford, how does chloe feel about raw silk? -too itchy? and what about this? have we ever seen chloe jamison in salmon before or do you think it'll clash too much with the red carpet? victory? sweetie, how are you? -lana? hi! this is my assistant, roy. charmed. so, you're designing for chloe jamison now? -sounds like we've been worried about you for nothing. we? well, you know what i mean. the industry. people talk. -so, what are you whipping up for chloe? can i be the first to get a sneak peek? oh, well, you know i couldn't do that. people talk. even when they've got nothing to say. -well, it was really nice seeing you, lana. bye. it turns out chloe loves victory's work. i didn't have to do much of a sell. she jumped. -you called him, didn't you? oh, nico, i warned you that it would make it worse. let the legal department handle this. the legal department wants me to sign a statement saying that he basically attacked me. it makes him look like a predator. -his reputation will be completely ruined. well, he didn't seem too concerned about what he was doing to yours. sign the paper. i can't. i can't. -i can't destroy someone else's life just to save my own. well, how about to save your marriage? hey. hey. sorry. -spent the last 20 minutes trying to convince my class that the new world was conquered because of a caffeine addiction. i remember that lecture. it required a lot of caffeine. oh, yeah. so, what brings you all the way up here? -brangelina stand you up for a trip to cambodia? missed the neighborhood. and you. really? excuse me, professor? -excuse me. i am so sorry to interrupt. you see, on wednesday night, my hard drive crashed, and i lost everything, so... i know this was due yesterday. if you don't accept it, i will completely understand. -megan, calm down. it's just a paper on the spanish civil war. it already happened a long time ago. just breathe. okay? -but i feel like i completely let you down. no. no. the world's still spinning. life goes on. -okay? just... i'll take the paper. it's all right. oh. -this is my wife, nico. hi. megan is one of my most promising grad students, when she gets at least two hours sleep a night. so maybe you should go home and work for a record eight, huh? thank you. -you know, you are one lucky woman. you know that, right? that was a kind gesture. she's not the first to hand in something late. you still owe me a paper on thomas paine, i believe. -oh, don't make me read that again. i'm gonna check the specials. you have a visitor. miss ford? uh-huh! -she hasn't moved since the today show. i'm a little concerned about where all those green tea lattes are going. come on! you need lunch. no! -okay, then you need a catheter. you'll have fun. you can eat sushi from my tummy this time. joe, no. stop it. -i need to fix this sleeve. it looks like a sling. it's a disaster! can i be the judge of this? i happen to know a lot about spectacular dresses. -i've taken off one or two in my time. really? you like to talk, or you just roll with the bulge? don't you have something to collate, son? come on. -let me see. wow. i like it. it's cute. cute? -what is cute? this is an evening gown, not a onesie. no, no, come on. what i meant... no, you're right. -it is. it's cute. i hate it. don't listen to me. i am fashion-impaired. -no, i needed to hear that. everything is riding on this dress, and i will not let lana tamborelli use me as her litter box. this dress has to stop traffic. should she be handling scissors? do you want to take them away from her? -ah, nico. i just got off the phone with maybelline. they are over the moon about next week's photo shoot. what do you need, mike? i don't need anything. -i was just trying to pay you a compliment. i mean, weren't you the one who came up with the whole jake gyllenhaal shirtless-on-the-beach concept? oh, yeah, thanks. you're welcome. i bet you're really looking forward to that shoot yourself, huh? -excuse me? well, you like the young ones, right? book the ones i circled. wendy, you got a minute? not really. -i gotta call the caterer back. i just got an invoice for an elephant. the big one or the little one? this is out of control! fire eaters, belly dancers, an elephant? -this is not a premiere party. this has become cirque du soleil. no party should cost more than the film. come on, how am i supposed to justify these expenses to hector? well, that's your job, sal. -right now i've got to find port-a-potties in the shape of the taj mahal. since when is that your job? we hire event planners. who will treat this like any other party. wendy, no party is gonna make a film into a hit. -maybe not, but i'll be damned if i let another great little movie slip under the radar. this is the kind of film i got into the business to make, sal. it's about people, human dignity, sacrifice. if we don't at least try to help audiences find the good ones, we might as well not bother at all. look, i understand your passion, but you're losing objectivity by getting caught up in tiny details, all right? -you got to keep your eye on the bigger picture. i totally agree. where are you going? to check out the beads on chloe's dress. they're hand-blown. -you promised me this charge would be kept confidential. you told me that you would handle it discretely. i have. really? then why does mike harness know about it? -i have no idea, but i can assure you, if he or anyone else heard about it, my department wasn't the source. nico, do you want me to speak to mike? no, i don't want this discussed. this was never supposed to go beyond this room. you were supposed to protect me. -we've done everything we can. what makes you so sure that this information wasn't spread by your accuser? so there's still some finishing work to be done, but it's... it's almost there, and i just... i think chloe's gonna love it. -i mean, i hope. oh, wait, wait, wait. wait. let me just see who this is. sorry. -is it nico? no. have you spoken to her yet? no. i don't know what to say. -just say "hello. "how are you?" i can't. this whole thing just makes me feel weird. can she lose her job over this? oh, don't even go there. -and then, what about charles? how are we supposed to look him in the eye, knowing? we didn't do anything wrong. she made a mistake. yeah, well, wen, this is a big mistake. -two months ago, nico had everything. great job, great apartment, great husband. and, now, because she chose to mess around with the wrong guy, she stands to lose everything. everything. doesn't that freak you out? -yes. it does. but she can't lose us, too. and tonight i have a big movie opening, so show me the dress. huh. -can i get you something? yeah, whiskey neat. and a little insight would be nice. kirby, i know that you are angry at me, but do you have any idea what this will do to me? what it will do to both of us? -at least you still have your job. as you can see, i've had to make some career changes. i never meant for that to happen. i told you i was sorry. i tried to make it up to you. -yeah, me and how many others? what are you talking about? the others? i guess you think that's one of the perks of running a magazine, huh? you have a legal department to clean up the mess. -you can move on to your next fun little fling. right? who put this in your head? mike harness? what if he did? -i can't believe, with all the time that we have spent together, that you would trust mike harness over me. yo! kirby! you retired? can you just go? -i seem to lose jobs when you're around. hold still. well, this looks different from the last fitting. it's not as sexy. whatever. -nothing looks good on me right now! do you have a bathroom i could use? second door on the left. great. what's wrong with her? -she broke up with her boyfriend this morning. thinks he's cheating on her. don't ask. can i ask what happened to the dress? wendy had some notes. -she wanted a jacket. thought that the dress was too revealing. wanted something to reflect the movie's spiritual themes. it's chloe jamison. she loves to show off what god gave her. -yeah, well, apparently, wendy missed the esquire cover where she was wearing two cocktail napkins and a pineapple. i should probably keep my nose clean, but... you're the designer, not mrs. healy. he just called me. -who? degan. but it doesn't matter, because i'm not gonna call him back. and you know what? i'm gonna bag this premiere. -what? chloe, you can't do that. it's your movie. i'll rent it. chloe, you have to be there. -the best revenge is showing up and looking fabulous. well, i don't want revenge. i just want him back. well, then, you need to go in there and call him and see what he has to say. maybe he wants you back. -listen, if i've learned anything in the last few days, it's that sometimes what you don't say ends up hurting you more than what you do. hmm? can't we just show a little more? no, this look is really fabulous on you, and this jacket really makes it. what have you got for me, josh? -your rough-cut screening has been pushed to tuesday. i moved two pitches to friday, and tonight's party should go perfect, except for a few minor hiccups. hiccups as in hold your breath, count to 10, they're gone? those kind of hiccups? maybe more like an aneurysm. -talk to me, josh. well, the peta people found out about the elephant, and they're threatening a huge protest. about the elephant? about the gift bags. it turns out someone put coupons for omaha steaks in there. -new pr girl thought that "cows are sacred" meant they really liked beef. so they're threatening a big protest. and that's not the worst news. there's more? have you read tmz? -chloe jamison broke up with degan mcneal, and he's still going to the premiere. could get ugly. okay. here's what i want you to do. gather the interns, get them to pull the steak coupons out of the gift bags. -cancel the elephant. make a donation to peta. assign somebody to meet chloe's ex at the limo line and get him inside right away so she doesn't see him, and seat him in the balcony behind, i don't know, shaquille o'neal. we don't have interns. -well, then, you better use both hands. hey. there was a mix-up, and the jeweler sent over two necklaces. i'm tempted to wear them both, but then i'll look like elton john. what are you wearing tonight? -i really haven't given it much thought. so, we out of creamer? nico, what's going on? mike harness put kirby up to the lawsuit. what? -yeah. that's how badly he wants me to go away. what a snake. well, you've got to tell hector. can't. -why not? well, because then i'd have to tell hector that i'd lied to his face. yeah, but it wasn't harassment. the kid came on to you. wendy, i slept with him. -diego: what the... ? leo: it's your new machine. diego: -decaf? bella: you found the way to my heart. vince... vinceandi talked it all out. -let me just grab something from the car real quick. bella: what is that? hey! $3,500 in cash, plus this beautiful car. -better than the impala. i don't know. i think i like the impala better. are you crazy? this is a classic waiting to happen. -get in. all our shit's in the impala. it's in the trunk. get in. feel that? -it's ugly. it's like you're on your favorite sofa, you know? you're gonna fall asleep in seconds. you'll enjoy it. milo! -stop filming me, and get in the fucking car. hey, hermes! i think we're even, bro! leo: you think you've got up on me, d, don't you? -see you next week! just a minor malfunction. she hums like a kitten. get in, milo. milo: -i think bella's got to drive, though. why's that? isn't this her car? borrow? you didn't borrow shit, leo! -you stole daphne's husband's car and took it to a chop shop! it's not a chop shop. it's a parts place. who do you work for? the fbi? -the cla? the irs? milo: how do you expect to stay out of prison... the aarp? -... stealingisraeliarms-dealer'scars and selling them at fucking chop shops? ! what did you do with the money from the maybach? i spent it. bella: -i can't believe you only got $3,500 and this car for my impala, which you said was worth $20,000. leo: you're not going to get blue book prices at a parts place. and this is a beautiful car, bella. la-la-la. -milo: leo, where we going to get the rest of the money? first, let me pay my debt to bella. i owe her, uh, $800? hold on. -20, 40, 60, 80... that's 1 00 for my debt to bella. bella: just stop. just keep your money. -consider it my donation to the keep leo out of prison fund. are you sure? bella: yeah. we'll probably waste the next couple hours trying to make that $800 back. -you married a saint. bella: we're not married. i keep telling you that. whatever you guys are, she's a saint. -are you guys hungry? milo: no. bella: yes! -i'm starving. that's what you can do. you can buy me lunch. this place has the best octopus dumplings on earth. better than in china. i swear. -we're in a vietnamese restaurant. it's both. it's a hybrid. could you bring us some arctic circle clams with sesame chili oil, crispy, deep-fried pork intestines, deep-fried duck tongue with spicy salt, half a dozen hundred-year-old eggs, pan-fried sea cucumber with supreme gravy, one order of chicken feet... i always like to do like... ... experiments. -su gong and hot pot with rice noodles. you guys want anything? leo, we don't have time-- hold that thought. i got to hit the head. -leo, we don't have time. leo: bella, i gotta run. milo: can i just get some noodles or something? -oh, i think we're good. thanks. milo: i can't believe he ordered all this food. bella: -do you think he's okay? he's been in there awhile, like, 20 minutes. milo: as soon as he gets back, we're gonna drop him off, we're gonna go to the airport, we're gonna fly to san francisco, and we'll be there in time to do our interviews this afternoon. i cancelled the interviews. -you did what? i cancelled the interviews. hours ago. why would you do that? because we were never gonna make it. -and i should have known that this morning at 5:00 a.m. when i agreed to do this. and you should have known it because you know what your brother's like. you knew we were never gonna make this happen. you knew we were never gonna be able to come down here, swoop him into rehab, and drive back up there in time. -this is our mission now, okay? we're gonna-- milo: leo, what is your plan? what do you wanna do? -milo, come on. you've been pretty chill all day. why the sudden bout of anxiety? bella, you have to try the hundred-year-old egg. yeah. it's fermented in straw and horse urine for, like, six months. -it is wonderfully, wonderfully perverse. a little too perverse for me. no, thanks. come on. live a little. -bella? it smells like ass! i dare you, bella. milo: bella, what are you doing? -you're vegan! leo: she's living life. milo: i can't believe you're eating that! -bella: oh, my god. it's good, right? not as bad as you would think. a world without hundred-year-old eggs is not worth living in. -that, and truffles found by dogs and imported from italy. i think pigs find truffles. the best are found by dogs. bella: i want to try something else. -leo: all right. how about the chicken feet? if i could, i'd weigh 600 pounds. i used to weigh 220, until i started using again. -what? ! yeah. you? i don't believe it. -i lost 60 pounds in 3 months. what's your secret? i could put you on the diet, but i don't think you'd be happy. bella: not likely. -milo: yeah, you don't want the diet that he's on. leo: pay the check. meet me around back. -i may have solved our money problems. bella: what the fuck? ! i knew there was something up with this place. -that's disgusting! leo: our worries are over. milo: you stole a dog now? -! i bought him, 1 00%%% legal. rescued him from an uncertain fate as a lo mein side dish. bella: milo: -you did what?

dizzy? he's over there. hold taco a sec. man: -taco? ! leo: ducati! his nickname's taco. -just watch him, all right? you're trippin' and lit. milo: who's that crazy guy? does he really think someone's going to want to buy a dog for $2,000? -bella: this poor dog's gonna die of heat exhaustion. milo: can you give me the money, man? we're not gonna have anything left at the rate you're spending it. -what? you don't trust me? milo: it's not that. it's just that we both saw you give that guy dizzy money. -i owed him. it's just 20. relax! milo: and then you went into the bathroom... -to shit! you don't know what it's like trying to come off drugs. i had the runs, you know? damn. milo: -oh. bella: you're such a pushover. milo: who, me? -bella: yeah. "oh... oh,okay." leo: take a left right up here. -milo: what about bill? does he still live in venice? you read my mind. bella: -who's bill? does he want to buy a dog? milo: bill is a very rich, very eccentric family friend. milo: -leo, are you going to ask him? no, you ask him. i'm not going to ask him. milo: all right. -where the fuck is he? milo: oh, there you are, bill. oh, hey, milo. milo: -how are you? hope you don't mind the camera. bill: no, i'm used to it. i wouldn't know you without it. -so, um, what are you working on? i'm working on kind of these ol' mini-handcuffs here, and i was wondering if i could make some thumb-cuff kind of jewelry, you know? just not sure how to -- you know, you can't really put them like that 'cause you can't do stuff. milo: i know you haven't seen much of leo lately, but he has developed a bit of a drug problem. -well, you know, life's been a little easier for you and a little harder on leo. i feel an affinity with leo, and i also understand, you know, what it is to deal with a, with a drug problem. i've got a lot of friends that just ain't here anymore. a little miscalculation here, a little error there. it's not like doing some big, noble deed to help someone, but you know that if you don't, then, you know, he could be dead. -milo: leo got himself into a little trouble, so we've come to ask you for a little loan. sure, no problem. 5, 1 0 dollars? what can i do? we gotta get him into rehab, and we need $2,500. -well, fuck him! leo: hey, carmen! just tie him up. carmen: -baby, come here! oh! oh! oh, my god! oh, frederico said you got arrested. -that it was serious. serious is what's going to happen to frederico if he keeps telling people my business. carmen: leo! i'm not other people. -when did you get out? i escaped. don't tell anyone. oh... this is my brother, milo. -camera crew following you. milo: hi! hi, hi! i'm milo. -leo: this is his wife, bella. bella: hi. partner, actually. -hi. carmen. leo: partner, actually. come in. -bella: god, these paintings are amazing! carmen: thanks. you did all these? -wow! i'm about to have my first one-woman show. bella: oh, that's so cool! so, brad's not going to be home for a couple of hours, so make yourselves at home. -milo: so, who's brad? leo: brad's her boyfriend. i've never met him... -... andi 'mnotjealous. i've been trying to get her to run away with me to inner mongolia. i'd wear, like, a black suit with red trim. she'd wear a red veil. there'd be little ponies everywhere. -"twitter-pated," huh? leo: ain't you ever seen bambi? carmen: bye. -bella: hello? yes, this is she. can you hear me? yeah, i don't -- hold on one second, please. -hi. yeah, hold on... milo: what's up, guys? leo: -milo, how about a little bit of privacy? sorry, sorry! jesus. i'm sorry. sorry. -milo: there you are! leo, get dressed! we gotta go! let's go! -come on. bella: oh, okay. well, carmen, it was so nice to meet you. thank you for everything. -listen, leo told me about the little money problem you guys are having. yeah... i think i can help. really? leo: -i need a shave. we're not gonna smoke it. we sell it. we break it up into four quarters and sell it for about twelve-fifty a pop. milo: -yeah, that adds us to 5,000 and turns us into total drug traffickers. it sounds worse than it is, but it's how i paid my way through art school. really? it's only pot. it's practically legal in california, anyway. -wait. let's just figure out if this is our only option. milo: no, it's not legal. it's not legal. -i mean, even if we had a doctor's note, it wouldn't cover us for transporting a pound of marijuana. this is insane. leo: we do a drug deal, get me into rehab, and then the student becomes a teacher. listen, i have this lawyer friend up north who got this guy off for having 1 50 plants, and, to top it off, at the end, the government gave him his plants back. -leo: can i have his number? bella: it's a she. see, men get into trouble, women get them out. -sound a little familiar? leo: can i have her number? i think i might need a new lawyer. listen, you guys, we can do this. -it's only a phone call away. i even know people who want to buy it. leo: let's just focus on selling taco. this is becoming... -milo: no! no one's gonna want to buy that stupid dog, leo, jesus! leo: it's not a stupid dog. -if i had feelings, i'd be hurt. carmen: you guys, look. listen. i'll carry the stuff in my purse. -if we get busted, i'll take the responsibility. you guys just play dumb. bella: are you sure? carmen: -mm-hmm. milo: whatever. you know what i think? all right. i'll call him and see what he says. -milo: are you seriously okay with this? milo, i mean, we do our best, and we hope for the best. if we get busted, we're completely fucked. milo! -i can't believe you're saying this now! at this point today, we have driven a stolen car, sold the stolen car, sold the stolen espresso machine, and let a convicted felon buy and use drugs. either we commit a crime, or we watch leo go to prison. carmen: he's busy now. -he'll call us back in an hour with the spot to meet him. bella: all right. we're gonna get you into rehab! let's go swimming. -bella: swimming actually sounds like a good idea. milo: bella, what has gotten into you? that's why we came down here, right? -to go swimming? i don't even recognize you right now. milo, come on! there's nothing more we can do about our shoot today, okay? it's fucked. -and at this point, we just have to wait for carmen's friend to call, and it's hot and i have not showered, and i'm exhausted, and, yeah, swimming actually sounds like a good idea. milo: leo? what? let me ask you something. -do you feel at all guilty for getting us into this mess? leo: let me ask you something. when are you gonna stop living your life like one giant fucking documentary, huh? milo: -come on, answer me! answer you? you're looking through a lens. for fuck's sake, who am i talking to? you? -you're talking to all of us. you're talking to her, to her. you're talking to the camera. you're talking to me. come on! -for the record. speak! i appreciate you guys came down here. fuck! i do, but i didn't make you. -bella: excuse me? i didn't make you guys come down here. milo: i gotta hear this. -it was your choice. face it -- the only reason why you came down here in the first place is you don't want to feel guilty about not helping out your brother, plus the fact... milo: that's the most warped reason i've ever heard. ... youstillfeelbad about the time you sent me to jail. -that's really why you're here, isn't it? no. bella: all right, that's the biggest fucking piece of horse shit i've ever heard. i care, he cares, we're here. -goddammit, you are the most ungrateful person i've ever met in my entire life. i can't believe you. leo: ungrateful? bella: -yeah! ungrateful! he doesn't really care. bella: what the fuck are you talking about? -! how can he not care? ! listen, he'll call my girlfriend and say, "l'm worried my little brother's dead," and she'll say, "come over for dinner. -talk to him." and he'll say, "ah, that's okay, i'll call in a couple weeks." milo: i'm out of town! a couple of weeks! -i'm out of town! you're always out of town, man! bella: what does he mean, "sent me to jail"? i didn't send him to jail. -the worst idea ever. next time... i 'llkillyou. bella: what? -i got arrested at this motel, and cops said, "you live over on laurel canyon? your brother sent us three days ago." milo: it was your friend who called saying, "your brother's gonna die. he's been doing speedballs for 1 0 days, and he's gonna die, and if you want to live with yourself, and you know you could have done something to stop it, that's up to you." -and what happens when i get stabbed in jail because you called the fucking cops? does he cop up to that? to that phone call he made saying, "your brother's gonna die if you don't call the police"? why didn't he call, then? -he said, "l'm not his brother. you are." wow, so, riddle me this, sherlock -- what happens when i find a dirty needle in jail and get some kind of weird disease? people don't shoot up in jail, do they? -what? people shoot up in jail? yeah. the whole dorm. we all share one needle. -i didn't know that. what you don't know could fill up the staples center. milo: this it? carmen: -this is it. bella: come on, taco. this is one of his new spots. milo: -what is this? it's his not-so-legal operation. he used to have one in diamond bar, but there was just way too much heat on the operation. cops? feds. -milo: do you think he'd let me come in there and film? carmen: um, i doubt it, but i'll ask. bella: -she's so cool. milo: she's nice, huh? what the hell does she see in you? i don't know. -that's a good question. carmen: he said yes. milo: he did? -yeah. i can't believe your luck. ivan: carmen, my sweet! carmen: ivan. -this the man with movie camera, obviously. i used to go to film school in ukraine. lots of fun those days. carmen: frederico probably told you about leo's little scrape with the law. -ivan: yeah... carmen: so his lawyer-- rothstein. -i hooked him up with that guy. milo: really?

woman: -we grow. we clip. and here, they finished. milo: do you like to smoke it? -what do you think? milo: you like green. you match. woman: -it is the color of money. got it! milo: holy shit! bella: -oh, my god! carmen: there's this design studio downtown, full of ex-gang members, graffiti artists, editors. great friends of mine. they'll want some. -milo: all right. let's go. milo: what did you say? -who feels like smoking a fatty? bella: i do! milo: aren't we risking enough, like, carrying it? -do we have to actually smoke it in the car? it's bad enough that we're holding all this. carmen: come on, milo. such a naysayer. -bella: look at this. it's so cool. leo: "l believe today is gonna be a wonderful day. each day better than the next. -i am always in the right place at the right time." can't argue with that. "my mind has unlimited potential." very true. he's down the hall. -carmen: thanks. leo: sandy, come read the affirmations with me! hermes? -leo: oh, my... sand y: what the fuck are you doing here? how are you? -i heard you were upstate. i heard you were dead, man. who told you that? jessica. she wants me dead. -it looks good. i mean, what's with the paparazzi and shit? oh, it's just my brother. he's got issues. don't worry. -milo: how are you? leo: it's like his own personal diary. don't worry. -all right. leo: no one will see it. i am very impressed. very cool. -sand y: yeah. i'm a computer designer now. well, i'm trying to get into rehab myself... sand y: -well, this ain't it. this isn't rehab. you're lost. and, and, um... i'm selling some weed to raise funds to get into rehab. -so you want some? no, man. i don't do drugs anymore. i'm three months, five days, and two hours sober. no one's going to see this! -you know what? i'll sponsor you. okay, you could sponsor me. fuck the weed. just come check out this dog. -he's a police dog. his name is cereberus. you're gonna love him. come on! did you not read the "no soliciting" sign at the door? -are you gonna report me now? sand y: when was the last time i saw you? was it at the coach and hound? leo: -horses! horses! carmen: milo. no dice. -let's go. leo: y grapes, también. carmen: y watermelon! -leo: y watermelon, sandìa! carmen: i knew that, i think.

should have killed the developer. bella: violence just begets violence. it'll just perpetuate the cycle of oppression and inequality. -what does that get you? yeah, that's one to grow on. bella: what? so, leo, you're saying he should have been motivated by fear? -leo: fear may be the one thing stronger than greed. milo: are you all right, leo? yeah, i'm just cold. -milo: you're cold? you're all sweaty. it's freezing. bella: -it's as hot as balls in here. leo: yeah. bella: i'm melting. -carmen: just hold on a little longer. milo: they got good meds in rehab. you'll do all right. -i'm serious. you're serious. leo: my life's like that accident. you're just slowing down to look. -milo: where are we?

"be your mom." that sounds like bullshit, doesn't it? "dear silas, if you never see me again, "i've probably been murdered. enjoy the dried apricots and butter cookies." uh, the sterling celebration doesn't come with butter cookies. -but if you'd like to add them, i certainly can do that. yeah, uh... could you stop talking for a second? could you just, uh, please be quiet and listen? just listen. i'm listening. -starting over. "dear silas..." "thanks for raising yourself "these past 18 years. "you've... done a great job." ms. botwin? -are you okay, ms. botwin? "silas...

it says the firm is going broke. -the firm is going broke? did i know this and forget? the early stages of alzheimer's. we're not talking about precursors anymore. there's a drug called dimebolin, something like that. -you can't have it. it's not f.d.a. approved. even a dying patient has no constitutional right to experimental treatment. so now what? we go to the state supreme court. -they said no. any appeal? well, to the u.s. supreme court. will you marry me? i would love to marry you. -we're going back to the supreme court! oh! supreme court! supreme court! supreme court! -oh. what's up? they've reached a tentative deal... and they need us to sign off before- we merged? -evidently. we'll know more in a second. where are we going? twenty-eighth floor. they're all waiting. -ooh. well, where's edwin? doesn't he have to sign off? i'm told he was called. what does this mean to us? -or specifically, me? i don't know the details, denny. let's just hear what they have to say. what the hell is this? shirley schmidt and denny crane, i'd like you to meet hyung lee and zhu chang. -hello. they're all chinese. denny, mr. chang is the c.e. o... of the tsu-chang international group. they've recently acquired finlay crevette, a law firm you know well. they are now expanding to acquire crane, poole schmidt. -what are you talking about? i thought we were merging with finlay. yes. finlay is now really tsu international. any of you yahoos speak english? -i speak english, mr. crane. oh, good for you. who are these guys? denny, your abrupt litigation style is legendary. you need not put it on display. -are you telling me we're being bought out by the chinese? the good news is they intend to keep on most of the attorneys here. so as transitions go- yeah, i've seen their transitions in tibet. i'm not a fan. -we're not selling out to a bunch of commies. denny- how dare you! what, you're not a bunch of commies? you're not getting my firm! -what? what? what? war talk? bring it on! -denny! denny! denny! denny! denny! -all right boom. come on come on all right well, yeah -well, yeah outlaw this deal- paul, why didn't you tell me who you were negotiating with? it's an extremely reputable group, shirley... not to mention liquid. -which in this economy- it's chinese. do you know how many businesses in this country are owned and operated by- we don't have to be one of them. shirley, we don't have any other bidders. -we have about three weeks before we can't make payroll. paul, this firm is my legacy. my name is on the plaque. and i don't have to remind you of china's track record on human rights. you're talking about the government. -this is a private company. there have to be alternatives. there aren't. shirley schmidt. what? -what's the address? okay. thank you. what? it's 1:00 in the morning. -i noticed that- shirley schmidt and paul lewiston. we represent denny crane. where is he? the den. -what happened? he broke in and sexually assaulted the woman who resides here. what? sexually assaulted her? he climbed into her bed while she was sleeping. -she broke free, called us. i called alan. couldn't get him. denny, what have you done? well, this is just a misunderstanding. -this is penelope kimball's house. she's a friend, a neighbor. we have a kind of flirty relationship. i thought i'd give her a christmas surprise. i surprised her too much, i guess. -you climbed into her bed? well, i thought she'd like it. we have a kind of chemistry. not anymore, you don't. well, couldn't i just apologize to her and go home? -i don't think it's going to be that easy. you're being charged with breaking and entering and sexual assault. oh, please. who do i make the check out to? denny. -you are in serious trouble here. are you kidding me? oh, please. everybody's overreacting. overreacting? -you broke into a woman's house in the middle of the night, climbing into her bed naked! i do that all the time! denny! look, i didn't break in. the kitchen door was open. -she's a friend. and as for being naked, i thought i was saving a little time. look, the last time she and i spoke... we talked about christmas and the gifts and economy. and i said, "this year, i'm going as the little drummer boy. instead of presents, i'm gonna show up and play my little instrument." -and she said, "oh, i'd like that." and i mistook that for an invitation of sorts. sorry. denny, we are scheduled to go before the supreme court on friday. alan, we've got bigger problems than that. -what? we're being bought- we are being bought out by the chinese. what are you talking about? it's very hush-hush. but i'm telling you. -a chinese company has reached an agreement in principle to buy us. this place last night was crawling with chinese. ho chi minh city, i kid you not. why would a chinese company want to buy an american law firm? they're buying everything. -they're taking over. listen, how could you have not been kept in the loop on this? i was told they were a parent company of finlay. i had no idea. carl, i want to stop it. -can we? the only thing i can think of is an injunction. trying to block it on public policy grounds. public policy? well, it can't be a good thing for chinese corporations... to be scooping up american law firms. -it's definitely not good for us. well, all in all, we picked a really bad week to get married. ms. schmidt, i'm penelope kimball. we didn't actually get to meet last night. no. -carl sack, this is penelope kimball. mmm. she was the victim of denny's- ah. last night. -please sit. you know, i feel really, really terrible about all of this. well, we all do. um, denny's maintaining it was some sort of misunderstanding. is that possible? -denny didn't seem to understand anything last night. what do you mean? he seemed extremely disoriented and confused. it it wasn't- -it didn't seem like an assault of any kind so much as- he seemed really, really confused... like he didn't really know where he was. that's ridiculous. i was in penelope kimball's bed... looking to play my instrument. -she's a very sexy lady. you should be glad i didn't climb into yours. denny, there's no point in lying to us. i am not! denny, look at me. -tell me what happened last night. i told you already. denny- i don't know what happened. all of a sudden the police were there and i was in the wrong house. -and i wasn't wearing anything. i don't know what happened. i remember being upset at home. i couldn't sleep. i was so worried about the communist invasion. -next thing, i'm naked... and i'm talking to police officers. i don't even remember talking to penelope. i want that drug. we'll go to the supreme court on friday. the question becomes, if they refused to hear almost exactly the same case before... -why are they suddenly doing so now? i don't know. it's a bit daunting being in a room with them. even when they're just cutout posters. how are we doing? -well, there's no constitutional right to experimental treatment. we're gonna have to locate authority elsewhere. what about right to privacy? can we extend my analysis? you can. -but it's been tried before and rejected. medical self-defense? also tried with marijuana for medicinal purposes. also rejected. what have you got? -we're still looking. alan, there are rumors about the firm being sold. i don't have time for rumors right now, jerry. look, shirley, no one likes it. why can't you get a line of credit to make payroll? -line of credit? have you been living on this planet? credit? we have assets into the millions. and liabilities in the 10s of millions. -so you just make a deal with the devil? they are not the devil. yes, they are. because they're chinese? yes! -you're a bigot. i'm entitled to my opinion. i realize i wouldn't be if i were in china. you are out of line. paul, if this merger goes through, i will- -make your case to the partners. i will take my name off the firm. your name is firm property. you do not own it. i'll go to court. -fine. i'll wave to you from the other side. thanks for having my back. shirley... dear, if you expect to have any success with either the partners or in court... you're gonna have to check your prejudice at the door. i have no problem with the chinese people or chinese americans... but the government, which a lot of these companies are- -yes. you know what? i think you should check your anger at the door too. i spoke to the d.a., and they're dropping the charges against you. how did you do that? -well, it wasn't difficult, really. penelope also spoke to them, so- oh. deep down that woman wants me. do not go there tonight. -thank you, alan. alan, i wanna ask you something, and you may think this is crazy. but i want you to think about it. okay. will you marry me? -i know the sex is lousy. but it's legal in massachusetts- same-sex marriage. and there are going to be decisions ahead... medical decisions that a spouse gets to make if i should become- denny, you can stipulate that in a living will or by proxy. we don't need to get married. -there are other reasons. last night i climbed into a neighbor's bed. and i shot a few chinese, although i don't apologize for that. how many times have i been arrested? a lot. -and the odds on my getting arrested again for who knows what? i need to be able to tell you things. but you can always- let-let me finish first. although i know you'd resist, the police could subpoena you... and try and force you to reveal whatever i tell you. -i'd never- you could be held in contempt if you refused. you could end up in jail. on the other hand, if you had spousal privilege... i could talk to you without worrying about you incriminating yourself later. -denny- for my peace of mind... the little piece i have left, i- let's be serious. and i can transfer property to you without paying gift tax. denny, what we've got now is so great. -why ruin it with marriage? who knows how long i have left? you have a long time left. we're going to the supreme court, and we're getting you that drug. seymour. -aye. zinberg. aye. kennedy. aye. -underwood. aye. evans. aye. smith. -nay. xavier. aye. espenson. adams. -aye. reid. nay. thomason. aye. -sack. nay. schmidt. nay. okay. -we've got 21 ayes and six nays. the nays have it. the motion to approve the merger- the nays have it. the merger has been approved. -i'll get an injunction. we can get injunctions on our own, shirley. take your shot, paul. shirley, there are many ways to go out. on your ass isn't one of the better ones. -you might keep that in mind, paul. denny, come on. are you for this merger, carl? no. but this is a bit of a duress still. -we don't want assistants and secretaries losing their homes. god forbid you should have to sell your gulfstream. is shirley going to court? she is. i'm coming with. -well- my name is on the door too. but we have to present a rational front. give it to me. okay, thank you. -am i not supposed to see you before the big day? still time. i'm coming with you to fight the chinese. oh, no, den no, no. -no. shirley, my absence will be conspicuous. and much appreciated by all. i won't shoot anybody. i'll -i'll keep my clothes on. i'll- well, i won't shoot anybody. denny, i can't take the risk. shirley, i'll behave. i belong at your side. -i'm a name partner. god, you're beautiful. thank you. i'm going to pack my trial bag. hey! -yes! yes! don't tell me. you love katie. a federal case in newark recently granted a plaintiff... the right to use an experimental drug. -it's the most recent case on point. i found it. katie helped. it's not binding, but it could explain why the supreme court agreed to hear us. a new case? -i found it. new case. i found it. wait a second. you're here representing crane, poole schmidt? -and you're here- also representing crane, poole schmidt. and i would remind the court i'm schmidt. your honor, the partnership voted overwhelmingly to approve this merger. it is lawful. -it is pursuant to a valid partnership agreement... entered into by ms. schmidt. and it is against public policy. to have a business acquired by chinese interests? you're a little late on the protest wagon, if that's what you're talking about. your honor, it is one thing for them to acquire manufacturing and software companies. -it's quite another to allow them to have a death grip on our law firms which- death grip? which are in the business of safeguarding... our individual liberties and- hey, counsel. -this does not scare you? shame on you. the law's the law. the chinese buy companies here, well, they have to play by our rules. and if they don't want to play by our rules... what more effective, insidious way to circumvent our laws... than to gain control of america's law firms. -your honor, this is just outrageous. may i finish? shirley? china is a lovely country. i've always wanted to visit their walls. -but the idea of china coming here is terrifying. i'm sorry. their record on human rights is atrocious. they do not support freedom of speech, freedom of religion. they do support sudan... which enables them to contribute to the genocide in darfur. -they turn a blind eye to female infanticide. they force abortion. they practice torture. china's economy will overtake ours. that's not even a question. -they have so much money invested here now. add to that the devaluation of our dollar, they practically own us already. their goal is to become a civilizational power... and they have the wealth to achieve that. let them buy up all our lawyers and watch out. i do not want to fall into their hands. -and by the way, it is folly to think we will control them with our laws. it is ludicrous to think we'll be tough on their human rights violations. because we haven't been. and why? because they own us. -as hillary clinton said, "how do you get tough with your banker?" l- i understand that the united states may end up working for china one day. i get that. it's a new world order. -but as far as law firms go... my name is on this one. my life's work has been to build up- let them start with someone else's firm. did he rule? after lunch. -and suppose we lose? has anybody made it clear how the firm might change? paul lewiston says it won't. shirley's convinced otherwise. jerry was hopping around. -said he found a new case on point? there was a recent federal court ruling... in support of giving experimental drugs. district court. so it won't be binding, but it'll help. i'm also presently trying to get you into one of the clinical trials for dimebolin. -but i'm not confident of that, denny. have you given any more thought to my idea? what idea? marrying you. we're committed to each other. -let's make it legal. i i didn't mean to get emotional. it's just- maybe it's a bad sign that my personal legacy is so tied to my profession... instead of- -i hardly ever talk to my daughter. i don't to my sister. we could always start a family. shirley, are you the least bit excited about getting married? well, of course i am. -why would you ask that? i mean, most brides are obsessed with their wedding day. well, please. i've had too many of them. l-i didn't mean for it to sound that way. -do you want to postpone the ceremony? no. no. hey, i definitely didn't mean for that to sound that way. this is where i get insecure, and then i want to run back to new york. -hey, i want to marry you more than anything... and i don't want to delay it a single second. in all of this madness... don't let my love for you get lost, okay? okay. judas priest! again with the kissing. -is this for my benefit? no, denny. it's for mine. do you need something? do we have a ruling yet? -no. not yet. we're still wai- your injunction was denied. the merger is valid. -look, shirley, none of us wanted this to happen. but we have responsibilities to others. and like it or not... this firm is bigger than all of us. thank you for joining. obviously your remarks about china are deeply disturbing. -at a time when china's embracing capitalism and american ideals... we expect it to be welcomed more graciously. consists primarily of state-owned enterprises. many of these companies, including this one, are not really all that private. they are often tied to your government. there's nothing american about that idea. -many of your banks today are owned by your government. our hope is that you would remain with crane, poole schmidt. we now have deep concerns over whether you will serve our interests with fidelity. if you feel you cannot... we would appreciate you acting with honor and submitting your resignation. you'll have my resignation by the end of business. -since we're being honorable... would you do me the courtesy of removing my good name from these walls? bitch. you quit? carl, i just can't do this- no. -whoa, whoa. first of all, you never make this kind of decision when you're emotional. and second, shirley, there are a lot of people around here... who now more than ever are gonna be looking to you for reassurance. this is not how a leader reacts. you can lead. -no, i can't. i don't enjoy the kind of loyalty you do here. we certainly don't want denny in charge. do not be submitting your resignation. at least not yet. -oh, gee. it's laurel and hardy. ms. schmidt, you have been very rude to us. we will not respond in kind. mr. sack, may we meet with you, please? -i would submit there are four factors the court must look at. first- whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. you don't get to tell us what we must do. sorry. -start again. jerry, which justice are you playing? hmm. i was kind of a composite. okay. -i would like the court to consider four factors in determining whether my client... qualifies for the compassion exception to the ban on experimental drugs. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! you've come to the supreme court looking for compassion? jerry, they won't do that. can you lose the cigarette and play it straight? -this is kind of an important case. what's going on? am i already dead? effective as ofjanuary 1... the litigation department of crane, poole schmidt is being replaced. we've all been fired? -"fired" is such an ugly word, alan. an accurate one. this is no doubt because i antagonized them. fired? all of us? -even me? especially you. they fired you twice. then suddenly, like from the planet mars, life. we could just start a new firm. -but frankly, i don't think i have the energy or the will. never surrender, shirley. especially to a bunch of commies. it's not about surrendering, denny. it's just that it's time for me to marry a man i love and start a real life. -i i mean him. look, if you could permit an old lady to peddle some advice... whatever you do next, make sure it's something you love. a life, professional or personal- without passion, you're dead. jerry, this can be the start of a good thing. -i just don't do well with good-byes. look, we are going to come through this... and we will do that by focusing on what's immediately ahead of us. for me, that's my wedding, which is saturday at st. christopher's. you are all, of course, invited. we're keeping it fairly small. -you just got engaged. i'm knocked up, denny. kidding. kidding. as for the four of you... you must concentrate all your focus and energy on the supreme court argument. -how do you stand? i found a new case on point. katie helped. there is precedent for allowing an experimental drug. alan? -you're very quiet. we'll be ready by friday. what are you thinking about? i think we should fire them. excuse me? -our new bosses. it's not right that they fired us. i think we should fire them. i know you're good. but exactly how would that work? -we get us a meeting. now, look, i know there's a lot riding on this meeting. but i want everyone to just take a deep breath and stay calm. alan can handle it. can't you, alan? -larry storch played agarn, right? on f troop. yes. what's f troop? i loved f troop. -dear lord. greetings, our chinese carpetbaggers. i'm told it's customary to bow. that's thejapanese. greetings. -good to see you. yes. hello. good to see you. greetings. -yes. oh, love the tie. greetings. yes. hello. -good to see you. greetings. yes. okay, this concludes the bowing and kowtowing portion of the presentation. i'm told we need an interpreter. -who would that be? actually, mr. shore, almost everybody here can understand english. and since this is a unilateral presentation, why don't you just talk? excellent. we didn't allow time for you to speak anyway. -i'm having second thoughts about that tie though. oh, good. he does understand. so where to begin? how about, welcome to crane, poole schmidt. -i'm afraid you're all fired. nothing personal. you seem like fine folk. love the discipline, the 10,000 drummers. but it's not working out. -so sorry. out you go. single file, please. move along. bye-bye. -mr. shore, we now own the firm. that doesn't much matter, mr. - lee. lee. yes. -this is america. and in america, it all comes down to who the jury likes better. and i don't think an american jury will side with the communists. do you? juries typically frown on oppressors, even when they're capitalists. -so the idea of china- on what grounds could you possibly prevail? grounds? who cares about grounds? cases always come down to who the jury likes better. -did i not just say this? i think i did. so anyway, meet the group. we're a fine, very likable group. infectious smiles. -smile, group. and best of all, bad for you, we're very good. did you check out our win/loss record? good for us, bad for you. more importantly, did you note the kinds of cases that we argue week to week? -typically preposterous, mostly unwinnable on their face. and yet we win them, whether we have grounds or not. must be the smiles. smile, group. and here we actually do have grounds. -for you to summarily "schmidtcan" an entire litigation department... a successful one, no less, because, well- because i guess you don't like us. it seems arbitrary, capricious, actionable, winnable of all things. it doesn't really seem fair, does it... for us to have both the merits and the smiles. smile, group. but we do. -a wrongful discharge, subject to compensatory and punitive damages... could be lots and lots of money. not to mention, think of the fallout here at the firm. we're notjust good litigators. we're popular. again, could be the smiles. -and you firing us, that would be a terrible, terrible way to introduce yourselves. i mean, denny crane, shirley schmidt? you must be joking. i know how the chinese love to kid... like with the, uh, tanks in the square, or the monks in tibet, or daughters. but you could have a mass exodus oflawyers... long before we even get to trial, which we will, of course, get to just the same. -and when we do, take caution. here's a little tip. we americans love to trade on fear. ask w. ask dick. ask rummy. -fear sells. fear works. the fear i'll be trading on is china, communist china. taking ourjobs. first over there, then over here. -where you once were passive investors, now you want active control. that scares americans. active communists made in china seeking control. oh, scary! one last thought. -we're giant slayers here. it's what we do. be it the united states government, big pharmaceutical. big tobacco. big oil. -it never gets old. and just when it seemed we were fresh out of bigs, along came you china. the poster child for big. oh! -to parade you in front of an american jury- well, here's your out. we'll agree not to fire you, not to sue, on one condition. we stay, and we stay in charge. do what you want with corporate or tax. but in litigation, we run the show. -shirley schmidt, denny crane, carl sack, jerry espenson, katie lloyd, me. it's our party. stay out of our way, we'll stay out of yours. that is the deal. not sure you got the desired effect there, al. -my father used to say, "after watching the bruins with bobby orr... it just wasn't the same after." i think i'll feel that way about watching alan shore practice law. there will never be anyone ever like him. if we break up- do i need to reach for the oilcan? -are we still on for dinner? yes. this will be, like, our third date, jerry. hello. welcome. -hello. relax. we don't need to kiss. they have decided to reinstate us. evidently, they agree it would send a bad message to summarily broom us. -which means they probably just plan to do it more gradually. perhaps. they are bringing in somebody new to oversee the litigation department. who? i don't know. -but for now, more life from mars, i guess. well, do we even want it, shirley? we can now leave on our own terms. well... right now let's concentrate on the supreme court. and my wedding. -and we'll take it from there. thank you, alan. you-you are really something. usually when women tell me that, it's to get inside my- alan! -see you tomorrow. it feels good to say that. how you doing? better days. worse too. -so we live again. for now. hell of a speech, alan. i even listened this time. to all of it? -don't be ridiculous. denny, i've been thinking about what shirley said. loving life, loving yourjob. we've always done both. but will we? -under this new regime? if i could do anything... i think it would be to open my own legal aid firm. what the hell is that? well, basically... it's a firm where you give your services away for free. -what's the point? oh. do you think that i might like poor people? i've never taken the time to know one. oh, they can be very nice once you get to know them. -problem is funding it. plus, i must admit i enjoy having money to travel and fish, eat well. you know where this discussion is headed, don't you? where? straight to the altar. -alan. i have more money than god, unless he timed the market. and i can't give it to you 'cause the government will take half of the gift tax. and i can't die and leave it to you 'cause of the estate tax. don't get me started. -if you were my spouse, i could give it. i could leave it to you. what's mine is yours. government can't touch it. oh, for that matter, you could open a business or start a foundation- -in which case, you can't use it for incidentals like travel, fishing. and the way you go after the government- they already audit you. they'll find a way to nail you... for comingling or malfeasance or whatever. the cleanest, simplest... most efficient transfer of property is marriage. plus all those other reasons. -medical. spousal privilege. immunity. i've always wanted to remarry before i die. really? -why? i just have. and like it or not... you're the man i love. think of all the, uh- what do you call them? poor people? -yes. think of all the poor people you can help. allocating my wealth to them... not the iraq war or the wall street bailout. take my hand, alan. take my money. -i always thought if i were to get married again... it would be for love and romance. you love me. romance never lasts. money can. okay, denny. -i will marry you. really? why not? i suppose it had to come to this. going to the chapel -it'll be great. and we're gonna get married yes, it will. ah! going to the chapel -like jumping a shark. hey, how about we do it on the dock of nimmo bay? perfect. a salmon in one hand. me in the other. -let no man tear asunder. this could be a television series. on a new network. one that cares. alan shore and denny crane, husband and mad cow. -going to the chapel oflove yeah yeah, yeah, yeah going to the chapel oflove yeah, yeah oh, jingle bells jingle bells -jingle all the way oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh make sure as you stand that you face each other. it's a pet peeve of mine... when couples look like they're going off in different directions... even during the ceremony. you're gonna be giving her away. -uh-huh. and you're obviously the groom. and that would make you thejew. rabbi! rabbi! -oh, i'm so sorry. oh, my god. i certainly hope you will accept my apology. well, may i be really honest, father? i'm not happy at all with this union. -rabbi? there's a very old joke. you know what they call the child of a jew and christian? here we go. a christian. -assimilation. see? didn't i tell you? father. excuse me? -do you know the most oppressed religion in america today? christianity. father. hear! hear! -it's christmastime. you know, christmas has become verboten. you can't even say the word! interesting he speaks german. what? -maybe we should all start over. i'd like to know what you meant by that. oh, it's nothing personal. i have a little peeve over how the catholic church turned its back on the holocaust. i love it. -a holy war. at great risk to america, i might add. father. much of the violence directed at our country stems from our support of israel. support which is surely as disproportionate... since israel probably doesn't even need to exist anymore! -ooh, that should seal it. did you actuallyjust say israel shouldn't exist? rabbi? oh, come on, rabbi. i mean, it was created as a refuge, a safe haven forjews. -jews are doing fine now. so what's the point? it was ugly. rabbi stormed out. the priest refused to give shirley the use of the church. -why were you rehearsing on a wednesday? don't those things- 'cause i'm gonna be at the supreme court on friday- right. filling a drug prescription. -check out the hair lip on that clerk. denny, do not say anything offensive. let's just get this done without incident. may i help you? yes. -we'd like to apply for a mustache- a marriage license. you two are getting married? is there a reason we shouldn't? other than maybe you and i should get together? denny. -we plan on an open-door marriage. my card. you're heterosexual. are you heterosexual? is that a problem? -he completes me. you're getting married? is that wrong? yes! why? -well, it's a sham, alan. it is not a sham. yes. it is no different than two people who aren't really in love... with each other marrying for a green card. first of all, i love denny. -i believe he loves me. and there's no requirement that a couple be in love. in fact, given the current divorce rate... one might say the most insidious problem with marriage... is that people make life-altering decisions while in love. it's a drug- a toxic one at that. and scientifically proven to wear off. -what's toxic is your cynicism. i think your little scheme is dishonest. you've been a little testy of late. do all brides get ornery? i am- -you know, let's just move on, shall we? as you know, the sale of the firm to tsu international has been finalized. a new head oflitigation is expected to be appointed ostensibly to watchdog us. i suddenly like the new direction of the firm. i have a document for a mr. shore and mr. crane. -i'll take it. thank you. you've gotta be kidding me. what is it? it's notice of an injunction proceeding... -seeking to stop denny and me from getting married. what? that city hall clerk must have ratted us out. the massachusetts chapter of the gay and lesbian league. excuse me? -of all the hypocrisy. katie, pull up whatever law you can on same-sex marriage. jerry and i'll stay focused on the supreme court case. as if we haven't got enough to do. are we done here? -uh, we have one more item. the new management has decided to change the name of the firm. to what? let me just preface this by saying... that personally i want my name off the firm, so- to what? -chang, poole schmidt. chang, poole schmidt? i simply don't understand the logic. your name has such recognition value. i've destroyed it, haven't i? -my name. no, you haven't. you know, half the stuff i do... the nonsense with the sex and- it's to appear colorful and larger than life. to distract people... from how truly small i've become. -i'm not about to let you sulk and ruin my wedding day. we'll open our own firm. we don't need them. we'll overturn it! the supreme court will never side with the chinese on this. -no way. denny, we're going to the supreme court to get the drug. i know that. i was just saying. well? -he now says that he might marry us... but not in the church, which is, of course, what i wanted most. all right. so we find another church. uh, carl, did you think it was really the smartest idea... to bring in that particular rabbi? what do you mean? -well, he's a flaming bigot. oh! i mean, the catholics are responsible for the holocaust? he didn't say they were responsible. he said they turned their backs, which is true. -can we discuss the priest's little gem? israel doesn't need to exist? well, that's a political argument. political? yes. -and many people have expressed it. oh! palestinians living in israel will soon outnumber thejews. the idea of it continuing as a jewish state- i can't believe i'm hearing this. -you've heard it before. not from you! i'm not supporting the idea. oh, no! but you're defending a priest- -do not raise your voice at me. and you're calling the rabbi a bigot? yeah, a big one. really? first the chinese, now thejews. -who's next? you. get out. oh, with pleasure! so basically, this marriage is all about money. -judge, i would guess a lot of marriages are. if you trace the institution to its origins... you'll discover that marriage had its roots in economics- not love, money. i find it offensive. why? i'll tell you why. -speaking as a gay man... we have had to fight long and hard for this right. we have suffered ridicule, hatred, gay bashing. you're preaching to the all-boys choir. we're with you on that. no. -you're making a mockery of it- we're doing no such thing. you're blatant heterosexuals. so what? are you proposing a rule... that every couple be sexually active or procreational? -'cause that one's been used against you. your honor, this is exactly what the religious right... and conservative movements have been warning of. if we allow same-sex marriage, what next? well, this is what's next. you will see people exploiting same-sex unions to circumvent- -you hypocrite. all right. he's suggesting we go into some kind of discovery... as to why two people want to marry. the very kind of invasive legislation- this does seem a bit cynical. -you are basically wanting to marry denny crane to skirt tax laws. your honor, in this day and age, the preservation of wealth is paramount! and i'm sorry. before i see mr. crane's money go to fund... immoral wars or less moral government bailouts... i'd rather see it go to me. -the plans i have for it are far more philanthropic. and by the way, i love him, okay? i love the man. he loves me. we're partners. -to say that we cannot get married... because we don't have sex is just as preposterous and bigoted... as banning marriage based on who a person chooses to have sex with! he will be fueling the fire to pass a constitutional ban against- you're the one stoking the embers. for what it's worth, this isn't just about money. there are medical reasons. -he happens to be suffering from an incurable illness- you can do that by proxy. he doesn't want to! he wants a partner. a legal spouse. -why? that's his prerogative, his privacy! do you seek to invade that too? all right. i have heard the arguments. -let me take an hour and i will decide. you have no idea what you'll be stirring up. all right! is she not beautiful? who is she? -opposing counsel. she's arguing for the government. flying in from tennessee. it's all good, alan. she's hot. -and doctors say blood flow in any direction is good for my brain. are you packed? 'cause we're going straight from court to the airport. will you stop nagging me? we're not married yet. -just get packed. this is crazy. neither of us are very religious people. we've never even talked about it before. why are we letting this nonsense stand in our way? -well, most people don't talk about religion. and it doesn't enter into our daily lives. but it is nevertheless a value. and it's obvious that you and i have different values, carl. religion's not a value. -spirituality, yes. belief in god, okay. but religion itself? it's a discipline. one that pretends to be about love, family, and charity... too often is a vehicle of hatred and war. -well, it's stirring up a little war right now between you and me. and it really pisses me off... that it is politically incorrect to celebrate christmas... but you get all your yom kippur... rosh hashanah, hanukkah, passover. my god, you have a gazillion of them. paul. -a little bit of good news. the dreaded monster... that they're bringing in to oversee litigation- do we know who it is? we do. me. -ah. for whatever reason, i seem to have their trust. well, that-that is good news. yes. is there bad news? -shirley, i don't think i can save denny. well, then it's a moot point fighting for me... or alan or carl, probablyjerry, maybe katie. if you talked to the others- i won't. shirley, come on. -we've got to face it that denny- could get better. if he gets this drug. it is showing a lot of promise. denny could improve. -all right, look. i do find this union to be primarily based on money. i also agree with mr. pinnard- this is the exact kind of exploitation... the christian right and others feared. but i also recognize people marry for all sorts of reasons. it's not the government's place to ask why. -mr. pinnard, there are many gays who marry heterosexuals. also gays who marry gays of the opposite sex... because they want to start a family-be co-parents. nothing to do with romantic love. i hardly think you believe the government should step in and stop that. same-sex unions are legal in massachusetts. -your motion for an injunction is denied. the dock on nimmo bay. we'll go directly from d.c. we're gonna need somebody from massachusetts to perform the ceremony. your honor, by any chance do you like to fish? -you can keep the others if you feel it is warranted. but denny crane absolutely must go. the lawyers here are extremely loyal to him. it doesn't matter. the man is mentally unbalanced. -he is a danger to himself and others, and cannot be allowed to stay. i will tell you this right now. i would not want to risk losing alan shore. mr. shore needs to be reined in. we understand he is a brilliant attorney. -but he is undisciplined. and also needs overseeing. we are not afraid to lose him if we must, in time. we've got a big day tomorrow. not to mention i don't want to look puffy on my wedding day. -let's get a nightcap. it'll settle our nerves. i hear hillary comes here. denny, she is- i just want to meet her once before you and i- -you know, i think she'd like me. i have a feeling about us. you and hillary? yeah. we're- -what? it's her. hillary? uh, wonder girl from tennessee. she's at the bar. -bet she's staying at the same hotel. what are you doing? if i could make her see me as a human being, she'll have mercy on our case tomorrow. but she won't see you as a human being. you'll reveal yourself to be the animal that you are. -give me some credit. i'm going up to the room. i've got too much to go over. i'll see you up there. denny, don't say anything to that woman that she can use against us tomorrow. -i won't. double scotch. mitch shoemaker, hello. it'd be a pleasure to meet you, mitch, if i had time. unfortunately, i don't. -thanks. whatever she's drinking. she's not. look, i'm not hitting on you. i'm old enough to be your grandfather. -in fact, you remind me of my granddaughter. have you got a grandpa? is he in good health? lot of them aren't. mitch, uh- -can i call you mitch? 'cause you look more like a denny to me. mmm. how'd you know? you're very famous. -well, i won't bore you with my usual nonsense. you seem like a very nice, young lady. i have, um, alzheimer's disease. you're not alone. over five million americans do, including my own grandmother. -so you know. how can you take the position you're taking if you know? i would think you'd want your grandmother to have dimebolin. have you read the data? it helps with cognition, memory. -it could be a lifesaver. and it's only completed two trials. there's still a lot of testing that needs to be done. what stage is she in, your grandma? three. -then she's lucid enough to know what you'll be arguing tomorrow. i'm not going to discuss my family with you, mr. crane. what i can tell you... there's a very human face on every one of those five million people, including you. and tomorrow, i'll be fighting for all of them... including you. good night, mr. crane. -i'll see you in the great hall. oyez, oyez, oyez. all persons having business before the honorable- do you think they remember us? how could they not? -look at ginsburg. does the woman not want me? the woman's in heat. clarence looks like he wants you too, denny. check out scalia. -cheery mcchuckles. alito looks glad to see us. god, it's good to be back. all right, ms. brooks, let's start with you. thank you, mr. chiefjustice. -may it please the court, the right of the terminally ill to use experimental drugs... is nowhere guaranteed in our constitution. so what? does every right have to be bestowed by the constitution? certainly not, your honor. but in the absence of any law or legislative intent- -come on, counsel. if this man is dying of an incurable disease... why not give him the unapproved drug? who does it hurt? first of all, mr. crane is not necessarily terminal. you know something about alzheimer's we don't? -i know the disease can take unpredictable courses... particularly when it comes to progression. and all with the same ending. the f.d.a. bans experimental drug use with good reason. because this does not just involve the individual patient. if untested drugs are suddenly made available... people will forgo entering into clinical drug trials. -promising drugs might not be studied. and therefore never reach the market. that hurts- over five million people have alzheimer's. something tells me we'd have plenty of subjects for clinical trials. -with all due respect, justice scalia, if people can simply buy the drug... they won't choose to enter into a clinical study where they could risk getting a placebo. why shouldn't a person have a right to medical self-defense? this court rejected that right in- in marijuana cases where there were other treatments available. we let women abort viable fetuses to protect their own lives. -aperson may shoot an attacker dead in self-defense. shouldn't this man be able to take a drug to save himself? especially if it's his only hope? no. first of all, dying people are willing to assume any risk... including taking dangerous, untested drugs which could kill them sooner. -but again, what's the downside? the downside is clinical trials get shortchanged, interfered with. the safety and efficacy of these drugs is at stake... not to mention millions of lives. my grandmother has alzheimer's. she's one of those five million people. -she sits at home waiting for a cure... desperate for f.d.a. approval, which could very well be delayed by letting- we've seen how pharmaceutical companies work. it's not about finding cures so much as it is finding markets, selling. if they get to peddle promising but untested drugs, we all know they'll do it. drugs that engender false hopes... ones with higher profit margins if they get to skip the testing. -investors will pump their money into snake oils that dress up well. this is not a scrupulous industry, your honor. they most certainly don't deserve a pass on clinical trials. and that is what will effectively happen if untested drugs are okayed by this court. this woman is good. -would you forgive a bridezilla going a little nuts during her wedding week? i'm sorry, carl. i wanted to get married in a church. i wanted everything to be so perfect... because i'm marrying the greatest man... i have ever known and loved. -and... do you still want me? of course i want you. if you want to raise the kids jewish, i'm okay with that. even with all the gazillions of holidays? the only thing i really care about- l-i do want to celebrate christmas. -but there's one thing i really care about... and that is getting to spend the rest of my life with you. so if you want to elope, let's do it. i talked to denny. he and alan have a judge. and they're flying up to nimmo bay to get married. -he proposes we join. make it a joint ceremony. maybe we should. oh, yes! i had my heart set on a church. -but failing that, a fishing lodge. it's not just a fishing lodge, i'm told. shirley, we could be married by this time saturday. you've certainly come a long way, mr. fuddy-duddy. road trip could be fun. -we already have a problem in this country of rushing unsafe drugs to the market. it's epidemic. and as soon as we allow patients, especially the desperate ones... to exempt drugs from testing, it is going to get exponentially worse. fewer people will be saved. rather, more will die. -science trumped by false hope and permissive advertising and- ms. brooks, the red light has been on for some time. if i could just add- no. you've exceeded your limit. -i think you should get a little band to play people off... you know, like the oscars or the emmys. just a thought. this time, you will conduct yourself in a manner befitting this court. you will address only the issues before this court... and not derail yourself with a spiraling rant that serves no purpose other than- what is that? -i have a-a tendency to not notice the little red light. so i programmed my tie to also alert me when i've been talking too long. evidently my tie thinks that you have. though personally, i- turn it off, right now. -yes, sir. we go way back. okay, mr. shore. your time is starting right now. use it wisely. -thank you, mr. chiefjustice. let me begin by extending a special greeting tojustice thomas. justice thomas! still the chatty cathy. okay. -where to begin? that's because most of the case law doesn't support us. but let's be honest. this court isn't that big on precedent anyway. am i right? -we've had 200 years of the supreme court. not one found a constitutional right to bear arms. but you happen to like guns, so what the hell? established case law also tells us that torture and denial of due process are bad. but evidently you favor both, so on the guantanamo case, the big never mind. -you people throw out precedent with the morning trash here. mr. shore, i'm curious. that i didn't know. what could possibly possess you to want to come in here and be cocky? do you think this helps your client? -actually, the reason i am a little cocky... is because my client, denny crane, is the little guy here. and the supreme court of the united states has always... always stood up for the little guy. as they did for oliver brown, a black man who fought for his third-grade daughter... to be able to go to the same elementary school as her best friend who was white. though, of course, this particular supreme court has gutted... brown versus board of education because precedent, as we said, who needs it? -counsel, i gave you an express directive to stick to this case. yes. getting to it, your honor. you see, i happen to know the little guy is due in this court. that's why i'm confident. -the little guy has been taking such a beating of late in this room. i just know he's due. oh. you think the little guy loses out with us? don't you? -come on. enron, the makers of medical devices, the tobacco industry... has done very well here. this court heard seven antitrust cases in its first two terms... and decided all of them in favor of big, corporate defendants. and of course the biggest player on the block, the government, always seems to win. and then on the other end of that particular seesaw... down there stuck in the mud, we have the losers, the criminal defendants. -forget it. my god, just last month you turned down a stay of execution... for a georgia man even though seven of the nine prosecution witnesses recanted. i guess you just couldn't be bothered with his innocence. maybe it was a friday and you had plans. any time you want to weigh in, justice thomas, just give me a little wave. -counsel, i have plans... today. i have a flight booked at 1:00 for a vacation... which i have looked forward to for a long, long time. and i will make that flight, counsel. which means as soon as that red light blinks- yes, your honor. -i promise, you'll be out of here and on vacation in a jiffy. and speaking for all americans, i give you permission to stay away for as long as you like. but first, there's this matter of the little guy. he's here in your courtroom. and he's due for a win. -my... client has alzheimer's. i know what you're probably thinking. and you're right. denny crane is hardly a little guy. he's the very biggest. -he's rich, he's famous... he's one of the giants of our profession. but that isn't really what makes him so- it's his enormous, foolish heart. it's his boundless generosity. denny has a sense of wonder and innocence... like a child with all of the world before him. -he has that capacity for sheer joy... that most of us somehow lose along the road to adulthood. denny is my best friend. i love him with all my heart. if i could yank that horrible disease out of his body... i would fight it, and i would win. -i would use every ounce of my strength, and i would win if i could- but i can't. my best friend is dying of an incurable disease... that will rob him of himself before it finally robs him of his life. and i'm sorry, but i don't give a damn what the case law says. the law- -you simply cannot look a dying man in the eye and say... "you don't get the right to try to save yourself." the law cannot possibly say that. and if it does... it needs to change right now, today- today. our problem, mr. shore, we have to safeguard the masses. -our rulings don't reach people one person at a time. but why can't they? make this ruling apply only to denny crane if you choose to. just make it. your honor... deeply embedded in this court, in so many of its holdings... is the individual's autonomy and personal dignity. -so tell me, please, explain to me how that can apply here. because all i can see is that the indecency... of a disease that cripples the body as it rots the brain... can only be exceeded by the inhumanity... of knowing there's a drug that could help and not letting him have it! contrary to the public's perception... i think when asked, most judges and lawyers would say... the reason they first went to law school was simply to help people. this man i love- my friend- desperately needs your help. -i beg the nine of you to look within yourselves and revisit that question. why did you go to law school? why did you want to sit up there and wear that robe? because today, this experimental drug... isn't really denny crane's last best hope-you are. you are. -wedding bells are ringing i hear them ting-a-linging they're ringing and bringing you closer and closer to me i hear the organ playing -you know, this is ridiculous. yes. and we wouldn't want it any other way. there it is. nimmo bay. -don't they get snow? indian summer. we're on our honeymoon our honeymoon we're on our honeymoon -oh, oh our hon-hon-honeymoon all right, let's not waste time. i don't want to honeymoon with a salmon. heaven on earth. nothing younger than 25 years. -are there bears here? isn't this the time of year they look to fatten up? this really is beautiful. i'm afraid of it, but it's beautiful. what are you afraid of? -oh, you name it. the water, the woods, canada. stop it. this is your vacation? he brought his hunting buddy. -where's the secret service? you must admit. don't talk to me. i won't. i promise. -if i could just ask you one little thing. i mean, it can't be ex parte. we're on the dock. could you look any sillier? i know you can. -but have you had an opportunity to think about... that little favor i sought to curry in court? it's just that i'm dying to know. denny is, actually. on monday, the court will issue a one-line memo granting you the use of the experimental drug. you mean it? -i'm cured! i couldjust hug you. may i? i'll have you jailed! your honor, i truly- i don't know what to say. -i feel- may i call you nino? because- you may not! i've always heard you were a compassionate man. -now i know it. i came up here to fish. if you'll excuse me. your honor, one last thing. denny and i came up here to be married. -i know you want to get to the river. and we did bring a judge of our own. but the possibility of an upgrade! i at least have to ask. we're gonna make this really fast. -which is what we want. if i may say- no, you may not. you all take your respected parties to be your lawfully wedded partners... to love, honor, and obey till death do you part? your honor, that might be faster than we thought- -you want me to do this? i now pronounce you- no, wait. we were saying "we do" to the "do we want you to do it?" mr. shore, the coho are jumping at seymour falls. -your honor, this is our wedding day. join hands. are you gonna be serious about this? because if not- alan, i've never been more serious about anything in my entire life. -okay, let's go. do you, carl and denny, respectively, take shirley and alan, respectively... to be your lawfully wedded partners? to love, honor, and obey- and cherish. especially cherish. -and cherish till death do you part? i do. i do. and do you, shirley and alan, respectively, take carl and denny, respectively... to be your lawfully wedded partners, to love, honor... obey and cherish, till death do you part? i do. -i do. you all understand what it means to be married? this is a sacred thing. the commitment to love one another... to be there for each other, no matter what, do you really all get that? we get it, your honor. -look at me. by the powers vested in me as justice of the supreme court... and by the powers of the commonwealth of massachusetts- i can't speak for canada- i now pronounce you husband and wife... and you husband and husband. what god has brought together, let no man and no court tear asunder. -you may kiss the bride. oh, uh, one- one at a time. alan, you first. and, denny, gently. and now, carl, my husband. -good luck to you all. thank you, your honor. thank you so much, your honor. thank you, justice. i love you, man. -i love you too, denny. oh! shirley... may i have my wedding dance with you? it's just that i've always dreamed of dancing with you... in this dress and looking exactly the way you do. denny, don't you think carl should get this dance? -let him grab the next one. he's got you forever. i just, uh- let's pretend we still care you really are a good sport, carl. -i'm a good sport? alan, has it sunk in yet who you're married to? let's dance a slow dance judge? why not? -like we used to do move to the music and say i love you oh, promise each other we'll always be true -our love's notjust for tonight our love's notjust for tonight long day. but a good one. -it was wonderful. spectacular day. mm-hmm. what couples they made. yes, they did. -thank you, jerry, for being my charming date. mm-hmm. canada was great. beautiful. i'm not afraid of it anymore. -and how great is that? yeah. conquer one's fear of a foreign country. great day. fab. -let's not make ourselves dizzy. now i feel dizzy. somebody's been here. who? i don't know. -but clearly somebody. probably staff celebrating our wedding. they could've cleaned up. you're not gonna be a neat freak, are you? i tell you, alan... -i woke up this morning, i thought the end was near. but this drug, i could feel the fog lifting just thinking about it. we're married. we will face ridicule, denny. abuse. -don't be fooled. it's all worth it. i love you. i love you too. you know, i was watching you dance with shirley. -and for a second... i thought you were having one of your moments... where you actually believed you and she- i had one of those moments yesterday. you thought she was your wife? no. -i thought you were my son. proud moment for a dad, i'll tell you that. having you as my son. that's something. are we gonna stay with this firm? -or are we gonna open a new one? we don't have to decide tonight. let's just sit here like an old married couple. you know, i was a little hurt you danced with shirley instead of- here we go. -i'm just saying. come on. we did get married. i think a little attention is in order before your eye starts roving. you wanted a dance? -i did. let's do it now. oh, the moment has passed. no, it hasn't. we're here, now. -we're in the moment. i don't want a mercy dance. is this the way it's gonna be? alan, our wedding dance. don't try anything. -funny. and i want to lead. why should you- you got to lead with shirley. it's my turn. -just dance. i'm not. well, then quit shoving me around. if you plan to dominate me in this marriage, let's undo it right now. oh, that's "till death do us part" commitments. -i can call scalia right now- you want to undo it now? just be quiet. seize the moment. it's our wedding night. -it's our wedding night. yes you perform miracles whenever you hold me near tender, warm miracles -that make me surrender, dear yes you whisper, darling and before my eyes a blaze of fireworks -light up the skies no wonder angels have those staring eyes fantastic, fantastic that's you -previously on boston legal what the hell is this? it says the firm is going broke the firm is going broke? did i know this and forget? -you're in the early stages of alzheimer's we're not talking about precursors anymore there's a drug called dimebolin something like that you can't have it it's not "f d a" approved even a dying patient has no constitutional... -... right to experimental treatment so now what? we go to the state supreme court they said no -any appeal? well, to the u s supreme court will you marry me? i would love to marry you we're going back to the supreme court -supreme court supreme court supreme court what's up?

doesn't he have to sign off? i'm told he was called what does this mean to us -or specifically, me? i don't know the details, denny let's just hear what they have to say what the hell is this? shirley schmidt and denny crane -i'd like you to meet hyung lee and zhu chang hello they're all chinese denny, mr. chang is the "ceo" -of the tsu chang international group they've recently acquired finlay cravette a law firm you know well they are now expanding to acquire crane, poole and schmidt what are you talking about? -i thought we were merging with finlay yes, finlay is now really tsu international any of you yahoos speak english? i speak english mr. crane oh, good for you -who are these guys? denny your abrupt litigation style is legendary you need not put it on display are you telling me we're being bought out by the chinese? uh, the good news is,they intend to keep on most of the attorneys here -so as transitions go... yeah, i've seen their transitions in tibet i'm not a fan we're not selling out to a bunch of commies denny -how dare you? what, you're not a bunch of commies? you're not getting my firm bla, bla, bla war talk? bring it on -i think i managed to smooth things over this deal... paul, why didn't you tell me who you were negotiating with? it's an extremely reputable group, shirley not to mention liquid which in this economy... -it's chinese do you know how many businesses in this country are owned and operated by... we don't have to be one of them shirley, we don't have any other bidders we have about three weeks before we can't make payroll... -paul... this firm is my legacy my name is on the plaque and i don't have to remind you of china's track record in human rights you're talking about the government this is a private company -there have to be alternatives there aren't shirley schmidt what? what's the address? -okay thank you denny's been arrested what? it's 1:00 in the morning shirley schmidt and paul lewiston -we represent denny crane where is he? in den what happened? he broke in, and sexually assaulted the woman who resides here -what? sexually assaulted her? he climbed into her bed while she was sleeping she broke free, called us denny -i called alan couldn't get him denny, wh- what have you done? well, this is just a misunderstanding this is, uh, penelope kimball's house she's a friend, a neighbor we have a kind a flirty relationship -i-i thought i'd give her a christmas surprise i surprised her too much i guess you climbed into her bed? well, i thought she'd like it we have a kind of chemistry not anymore, you don't -well, couldn't i just... apologize to her and go home? i don't think it's going to be that easy you're being charged with breaking and entering and sexual assault oh, please who do i make the check out to? -denny, you are in seriou trouble here are you kidding me? oh, please everybody's overreacting overreacting? you broke intoa woman's house in the middle of the night -climbing into her bed naked? well, i do that all the time denny look, i didn't break in the kitchen door was open she's a friend -and as for being naked? i-i thought i was saving a little time look, the last time she and i spoke we talked about christmas and the gifts and the economy and i said," this year, i'm going as the little drummer boy -instead of presents, i'm gonna show up and play my little instrument " and she said, "oh, i'd like that " and i mistook that for an invitation of sorts sorry denny, we are scheduled to go before the supreme court on friday alan, we got bigger problems than that -what? we're being b... we are being bought out by the chinese what are you talking about? it's very hush-hush but i'm telling you -a chinese company has reached an agreement in principle to buy us this place, last night was crawling with chinese ho chi minh city i kid you not why would a chinese company want to buy an american law firm? they're buying everything -they're taking over listen, h-how could you have not been kept in the loop on this? i was told they were a parent company of finlay i had no idea carl, i want to stop it well, can we? -the only think i can think of is an injunction trying to block it on public policy grounds public policy? well, it can't be a good thing for chinese corporations to be scooping up american law firms -it's definitely not good for us well, all in all, we picked a really bad week to get married ms schmidt i'm penelope kimball we didn't actually get to meet last night no, carl sack this is penelope kimball -she was the victim of denny's... ah last night please sit you know, i feel really, really terrible about all of this -well, we all do um, denny's maintaining it was some sort of misunderstanding is that possible? denny didn't seem to understand anything last night what do you mean? -he seemed extremely disoriented and confused it-it wasn't it didn't seem like an assault of any kind so much as... he seemed really, really confused like he didn't really know where he was -that's ridiculous i was in penelope kimball's bed looking to play my instrument she's a very sexy lady, you should be glad i didn't climb into yours denny, there's no point in lying to us i am not -denny, look at me tell me what happened last night i told you already denny i don't know what happened -all of a sudden the police were there i was in the wrong house and i wasn't wearing anything i don't know what happened i remember being upset at home i-i couldn't sleep -i was so worried about the communist invasion next thing i'm naked and i'm talking to police officers i don't even remember talking to penelope i want that drug -we go to the supreme court on friday the question becomes if they refused to hear almos texactly the same case before, why are they suddenly doing so now? i don't know -it's a bit daunting being in a room with them even when they're just cutout posters how are we doing? well, there's no constitutional right to experimental treatment we're gonna have to locate authority elsewhere -what about right to privacy? can we extend by analysis? you can, but it's been tried before and rejected medical self-defense? also tried with marijuana for medicinal purposes also rejected -what have you got? we're still looking alan, there are rumors about the firm being sold i don't have time for rumors right now, jerry look, shirley no one likes it -why can't you get a line of credit to make payroll? line of credit? have you been living on this planet? credit? we have assets into the millions -and liabilities in the tens of millions so you just make a deal with the devil? that's the way you... they are not the devil yes, they are -what, because they're chinese? yes you're a bigot i'm entitled to my opinion i realize i wouldn't be if i were in china you are out of line -paul, if this merger goes through i will... you can make your case to the partners i will take my name off the firm, paul your name is firm property you do not own it i'll go to court -fine i'll wave to you from the other side paul... thanks for having my back, carl shirley, dear, if you expect to have any success with either the partners or in court -you're gonna have to check your prejudice at the door i have no problem with the chinese people or chinese-americans, but the government, which a lot of these companies are... yes, you know what? i think you should check your anger at the door, too -i spoke to the d.a and they're dropping the charges against you how did you do that? well, it wasn't difficult, really penelope also spoke to them so oh deep down that woman wants me -do not go there tonight thank you, alan alan, i want to ask you something and, uh, you may think this is crazy but i want you to think about it okay -will you marry me? i-i-i know the sex is lousy, but it's legal in massachusetts same-sex marriage and there are going to be decisions ahead, medical decisions that a spouse gets to make if i should become... -denny, you can stipulate that in a living will or by proxy we don't need to get married there are other reasons last night, i-i climbed into a neighbor's bed and i shot a few chinese, although i don't apologize for that -how many times have i been arrested? a lot and the odds on my getting arrested again for who knows what uh i need to be able to tell you things but you can always... no, let-let me finish first -although i know you'd resist the police could subpoena you and try and force you to reveal whatever i tell you i'd never... you'd could be held in contempt if you refuse you could end up in jail -on the other hand if you had spousal privilege, i could talk to you without worrying about you incriminating yourself later... denny for my peace of mind what little piece i have left -let's be serious and i can transfer property to you without paying gift tax and since the rate is 100%... denny, what we've got now is so great -why ruin it with marriage? who knows how long i have left? you have a long time left we're going to the supreme court, and we're getting you that drug -seymore? aye zinberg? aye kennedy? -aye underwood? aye evans? aye -smith? nay xavier? aye espenson? -nay adams? aye reid? nay -thomason? aye sack? nay schmidt? -nay okay, we've got 21 ayes and 6 nays the nays have it the motion to approve the merger... the nays have it -the merger has been approved i'll get an injunction we can get injunctions on our own, shirley take your shot, paul shirley, there are many ways to go out -on your ass isn't one of the better ones you might keep that in mind, paul denny come on you for this merger, carl? no, but this is a bit of a duress sale -we don't want assistants and secretaries losing their homes god forbid you should have to sell your gulfstream shirley going to court? she is i'm coming with -well... my name is on the door, too understood, but we have to present a rational front give it to me okay thank you -am i not supposed to see you before the big day? you're not the groom still time i'm coming with you to fight the chinese oh, no, d-oh, no, no -shirley... my absence will be conspicuous and much appreciated by all, since... i won't shoot anybody i-i'll keep my clothes on -i'll well, i won't shoot anybody denny, i can't take the risk shirley, i'll behave i belong at your side i'm a name partner god, you're beautiful -thank you i'm going to pack my trial bag yes yes don't tell me you love katie -a federal case in newark recently granted a plain of the right to use an experimental drug it's the most recent case on point i found it, katie helped it's not binding, but it could explain why the supreme court agreed to hear us a new case? -i found it, katie helped new case i found it wait a second you're here representing crane, poole schmidt, and you're here also representing crane, poole schmidt, -and i would remind the court, i'm schmidt your honor, the partnership voted overwhelmingly to approve this merger it is lawful it is pursuant to a valid partnership agreement entered into by ms schmidt and it is against public policy -why? to have a business acquired by chinese interests? you're a little late on the protest wagon if that's what you're talking about your honor, it is one thing for them to acquire manufacturing -and software companies, it's quite another to allow them to have a death grip on our law firms which... death grip? which are in the business of safeguarding our individual liberties.. hey, counsel -this does not scare you? shame on you hold on the law is the law if the chinese buy companies here, well, they have to play by our rules -and if they don't want to play by our rules, what more effective, insidious way to circumvent our laws than to gain control of america's law firms? your honor, this is just outrageous may i finish? -shirley china is a lovely country i've always wanted to visit their walls but the idea of china coming here is terrifying, i'm sorry their record on human rights is atrocious they do not support freedom of speech -freedom of religion the do support sudan which enables them to contribute to the genocide in darfur they turn a blind eye to female infanticide they force abortion they practice torture china's economy will overtake ours that's not even a question -they have so much money invested here now uh, add to that the devaluation of our dollar, they practically own us already their goal is to become a civilizational power, and they have the wealth to achieve that -let them buy up all our lawyers and watch out i do not want to fall into their hands and by the way, it is folly to think we will control them with our laws it is ludicrous to thinkwe'll be tough on their human rights violations because we haven't been -and why? because they own us as hillary clinton said "how do you get tough with your banker"? i i understand that the united states may end up working for china one day -i get that it's a new world order but as far as law firms go my name is on this one my life's work has been to build up -let them start with someone else's firm did he rule? after lunch and suppose we lose? has anybody made it clear how the firm might change? -well, paul lewiston says it won't shirley's convinced otherwise jerry was hopping around said he found a new case on point there was a recent federal court ruling in support of giving experimental drugs -district court, so it won't be binding but it'll help i'm also presently trying to get you into.. one of the clinical trials for dimebolin but i'm not confident of that, denny have you given any more thought to my idea? -what idea? marrying you we're committed to each other let's make it legal i didn't mean to get emotional -it's just maybe it's a bad sign that my personal legacy is so tied to my profession instead of i hardly ever talk to my daughter i don't to my sister -we could always start a family shirley, are you the least bit excited about getting married? well, of course i am why would you ask that? i-i mean, most brides are obsessed with their wedding day well, please, i've had too many of them -i... i didn't mean for it to sound that way uh... do you want to postpone the ceremony? no, no let's just get it over with before i... hey, i definitely mean for that to sound that way you know, this is where i get insecure and i want to run back to new york -hey, i want to marry you more than anything and i don't want to delay it a single second in all of this madness don't let my love for you get lost, okay? okay -judas priest again with the kissing is this for my benefit? no, denny, it's for mine do you need something? do we have a ruling yet? -no, not yet we're still wa... the judge ruled your injunction was denied the merger is valid look, shirley, none of us wanted this to happen but we have responsibilities to others -and like it or not, this firm is bigger than all of us thank you for joining obviously,your remarks about china are deeply disturbing in a time when china is embracing capitalism and american ideals, -we expected to be welcomed more graciously mr chang, uh, the dirty little secret on china is the capitalism you so embrace consists primarily of state-owned enterprises many of these companies, including this one are not really all that private -they are often tied to your government there's nothing american about that ideal many of your banks today are owned by your government our hope is that you would remain with crane, poole schmidt we now have deep concerns -over whether you will you serve our interests with fidelity if you feel you cannot we would appreciate you acting with honor and submitting your resignation you'll have my resignation by the end of business -uh, since we're being honorable, would you do me the courtesy of removing my good name from these walls? you quit? carl, i just can't do this no whoa, whoa first of all, -you never make this kind of decision when you're emotional and second, shirley, there are a lot of people around here who now more than ever are going to be looking to you for reassurance this is not how a leader reacts you can lead -no, i can't i don't enjoy the kind of loyalty you do here we certainly don't want denny in charge do not be submitting your resignation, at least not yet oh, gee it's laurel and hardy ms schmidt, you have been very rude to us -we will not respond in kind mr sack, may we meet with you, please? i would submit there are four factors the court must look at first... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa -you don't get to tell us what we must do sorry start again jerry, which justice are you playing? i was kind of a composite okay i would like the court to consider four factors in determining -whether my client qualifies for the compassion exception to the ban on experimental drugs... whoa, whoa, whoa, you've come to the supreme court looking for compassion? boy, did you walk into the wrong room, i tell ya jerry, they won't do that can you lose the cigarette and play it straight? -this is kind of an important case what's going on? am i already dead? effective as of january 1st, the litigation department of crane, poole schmidt -is being replaced - what are you talking about? we've all been fired? fired is such an ugly word, alan an accurate one, but i am sorry this is no doubt because i antagonized them -fired? all of us? even me? especially you they fired you twice -we've been dead before, then suddenly like from the planet mars life we could just start a new firm, but frankly, i don't think i have the energy or the will -never surrender, shirley, especially to a bunch of commies it's not about surrendering, denny, it's just that it's time for me to marry a man i love and start a real life i-i mean him -look, if you could permit an old lady to peddle some advice... whatever you do next, make sure it's something you love a life, professional or personal, without passion you're dead -jerry this can be the start of a good thing i just don't do well with good-byes look, we are going to come through this, and we will do that, by focusing on what's immediately ahead of us -for me, that's my wedding, which is saturday at st christopher's you are all, of course, invited we're keeping it fairly small that's rushing it, isn't it? you just got engaged i'm knocked up, denny -kidding kidding as for the four of you you must concentrate all your focus and energy on the supreme court argument how do you stand? i found a new case on point katie helped there is precedent for allowing an experimental drug -alan? you're very quiet i'll be ready by friday what are you thinking about? i think we should fire them -excuse me? our new bosses it's not right that they fired us i think we should fire them i know you're good but exactly how would that work? get us a meeting -now look, i know there's a lot riding on this meeting, but i want everyone to just... take a deep breath and stay calm alan can handle it can't you, alan? larry storch played agarn, right? -on f troop what's f troop ? i loved f troop dear lord greetings, our chinese carpetbaggers -i'm told it's customary to bow that's the japanese greetings good to see you yes, hello good to see you greetings yes oh, love the tie greetings yes hello greetings yes -okay, this concludes the bowing and kowtowing portion of the presentation i'm told we need an interpreter who would that be? actually, mr shore, almost everybody here can understand english and since this is a unilateral presentation, why don't you just talk? excellent we didn't allow time for you to speak anyway -i'm having second thoughts about that tie, though oh, good he does understand so where to begin? how about welcome to crane, poole schmidt? i'm afraid you're all fired, nothing personal you seem like fine folk... love the discipline the 10,000 drummers -but it's not working out so sorry, out you gosingle file please move along bye-bye mr shore, we now own the firm well, that doesn't much matter, mister lee lee, yes -this is america, and in america, it all comes down to who the jury likes better and i don't thinka n american jury will side with a communist, do you? juries typically frown on oppressors, even when they're capitalists so the idea of china... on what grounds could you possibly prevail? -grounds? who cares about grounds? cases always come down to who the jury likes better did i not just say this? i think i did -so anyway, meet the group we're a fine, very likeable group infectious smiles... smile, group... and best of all, bad for you we're very good did you check out our win-loss record? good for us, bad for you more importantly -did you note the kinds of cases that we argue week to week? typically preposterous mostly unwinnable on their face, and yet, we win them whether we have grounds or not must be the smiles smile, group and here, we actually do have grounds -for you to summarily schmidt can an entire litigation department a successful one no less, because well, because i guess you don't like us it seems arbitrary capricious, actionable winnable of all things it doesn't really seem fair does it, for us to have -both the merits and the smiles? smile, group but we do a wrongful discharge subject to compensatory and punitive damages could be lots and lots of money not to mention -think of the fall-out here at the firm you see, we're not just good litigators we'repopular... again, could be the smiles and you firing us well, that would be a terrible terrible way to introduce yourselves i mean uh, denny crane, -shirley schmidt you must be joking i- i know how the chinese love to kid, like with the uh, the tanks in the square the monks in tibet or-or daughters uh, but you could have a mass exodus of lawyers -long before we even get to trial, which we will, of course get to just the same, and when we do, take caution here's a little tip we americans love to trade on fear ask w ask dick ask rummy fear sells fear works -the fear i'll be trading on is china... communist china- taking our jobs first over there, then over here where you once were passive investors now you want active control that scares americans active communists -made in china, seeking control ooh, scary one last thought we're giant slayers here it's what we do be it the united states government, big pharmaceutical, -big tobacco, big oil... it never gets old and just when it seemed we were fresh out of bigs, along came you, china the poster child for big oh to parade you in front of an american jury -well, here's your out... we'll agree not to fire you not to sue, on one condition we stay, and we stay in charge do what you want with corporate or tax but in litigation, we run the show -shirley schmidt, denny crane, carl sack, jerry espenson, katie lloyd, me- it's our party stay out of our way we'll stay out of yours that is the deal i'm not sure you got the desired effect there, al my father used to say after watching the bruins with bobby orr -it just wasn't the same after i think i'll feel that way about watching alan shore practice law there will never be anyone ever, like him if we break up do i need to reach for the oil can? -we still on for dinner? yes this'll be, like, our third date, jerry hello welcome hello relax -we don't need to kiss they have decided to reinstate us evidently, they agree it would send a bad message to summarily broom us which means they probably just plan to do it more gradually perhaps -they are bringing in somebody new to oversee the litigation department who? i don't know but for now more life from mars, i guess well, do we even want it, shirley? -we could now leave on our own terms well right now, let's concentrate on the supreme court and my wedding and we'll take it from there thank you, alan -you you are really something usually, when women tell me that it's to get inside my... alan see you tomorrow -feels good to say that how are you doing? better days worse, too so we live again for now -hell of a speech, alan i even listened this time to all of it? don't be ridiculous denny, i've been thinking about what shirley said -loving life, loving your job we've always done both but will we under this new regime? if i could do anything i think it would be to open my own legal aid firm -what the hell is that? well, basically, it's a firm where you give your services away for free what's the point? denny, in this economy, -those are gonna be the first services cut... legal aid to the poor do you think that i might like poor people? i've never taken the time to know one oh, they can be very nice once you get to know them -the problem is funding it plus, i must admit i enjoy having money to travel and fish, eat well you know where this discussion is headed, don't you? where? -straight to the altar alan i have more money than god unless he timed the market but i can't give it to you 'cause the government will take half with the gift tax -and i can't die and leave it to you 'cause of the estate tax don't get me started if you were my spouse, i could give it i could leave it to you what's mine is yours, -and the government can't touch it oh, for that matter you could open a business or start a foundation... in which case, you can't use it for incidentals like travel, fishing and the way you go after the government -they already audit you they'll find a way to nail you for commingling or malfeasance or whatever the cleanest, simplest, most efficient transfer of property is marriage -plus all those other reasons... medical, spousal privilege immunity it's beyond ridiculous, even for us i've always wanted to remarry before i die -really? why? i just have and like it or not you're the man i love -think of all the uh, what do you call 'em, poor people? yes think of all the poor people you can help allocating my wealth to them not the iraq war -or the wall street bailout take my hand, alan take my money i always thought if i were to get married again it would be for love and romance -you love me romance never lasts money can okay, denny i will marry you really? -why not? i suppose it had to come to this it'll be great yes, it will like jumping a shark hey, how about we do it on the dock of nimmo bay? -perfect a salmon in one hand - me in the other let no man tear asunder this could be a television series on a new network -one that cares alan shore and denny crane husband and mad cow going to the chapel of love ? yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ? going to the chapel of love ? yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ? -make sure as you stand that you face each other it's a pet peeve of mine when couples look like... they're going off into different directions even during the ceremony ok, then, now you're going to be giving her away... and you're abviously the groom -and that would make you the jew rabbi. rabbi. oh,i'm so sorry oh, my god, icertainly hope you will accept my apology -may i really be honest father? i'm not happy at all with this union rabbi? there's a very old joke, you know what the call the child of a jew and a christian? -here we go a christian assimilation, see? didn't i tell you? father -excuse me? do you know the most oppressed religion in america today? christiainity hear, hear it's christmas time, you know christmas has become verbotten -you can't even say the word interesting, he speaks german what? rabbi maybe we should all start over - like to know what you meant by that -it's nothing personal i just have a little peeve over how the catholic church turned its back on the holocaust i love it, a holy war - but the catholic church has been unwavering in its support of israel a great risk to america, i might add -father much of the violence directed at our country stems from our support of israel... support which is surely as disproportionate since israel probably doesn't even need to exist anymore ooh, that should seal it -did you actually just say israel shouldn't exist? rabbi... come on, rabbi i mean it was created as a refuge, a safe-haven far jews jews are doing fine now so what's the point? -it was ugly rabbi stormed out the priest refused to give shirley the use of the church why were you rehearsing on a wednesday? because, i am gonna be at the supreme court on friday filling a drug prescription -check out the hair upon that clerk denny, do not say anything offensive let's just get this done without incident may i help you? yes, we'd like to apply for a moustache... -a marriage license you two are getting married? is there a reason we shouldn't? other than, maybe you and i should get together? denny... -we plan an open door marriage my card you're heterosexual are you heterosexual? is that a problem? he completes me -you're getting married? is that wrong? yes why? it's a sham, alan -it is not a sham yes, it is no different than two people who aren't really in love with each other marrying for a green card first of all, i love denny i believe he loves me and there's no requirement that a couple be " in love" -in fact, given the... current divorce rate, one might say the most insidious problem with marriage is that people make life-altering decisions while in love it's a drug, a toxic one at that and scientifically proven to wear off -what's toxic is your cynicism i think your little scheme is dishonest you've been a little testy of late do all brides get ordery you know, let's just move on shall we? -as you know, the sale of the firm to tsu international has been finalized the new head of litigation is expected to be appointed and ostensibly to watchdog us i like the new direction of the firm i have a document for mr shore and mr crane? i'll take it,thank you -they've got to be kidding me what is it? it's notice of an injunction seeking to... stop me and denny from getting married what? -that city hall clerk must have ratted us out who's filing? the massachusetts chapter of the gay and lesbian league excuse me? what a hypocrisy katie, pull up whatever law -you can on same sex marriage jerry and i will stay focused on the supreme court case as if we haven't got enough to do are we done here? we have one more item -the new management has decided to change the name of the firm to what? let me just preface this bysaying that personally... i want my name off the firm, so... to what? -chang, poole and schmidt i simply don't understand... the logic your name has such recognition value i've destroyed it, haven't i? my name? -no, you haven't you know... half the stuff i do with the... nonsense with the sex and... it's to appear colorful, and larger than life... -to distract people... from how truly small i've become i'm not about to let you sulk and ruin my wedding day we'll open our own firm, we don't need them we'll overturn it -the supreme court would never side with the chinese there's no way denny, we're going to the supreme court to get the drug i know that i'm just saying... well? -he now says that he... might marry us but not in the church, which is of course what i wanted most alright, so we find another church carl, did you think it was the smartest idea -to bring in that particular rabbi? what do you mean? well, he's a flaming bigot i mean, the catholics are responsible for the holocaust? he didn't say they were responsible -he said they turned their back, which is true can we discuss the priest's little gem? israel doesn't need to exist? that's a political argument political? -yes, and many people have expressed it palestinians living in israel will soon outnumber the jews the idea of a continuing as a jewish state... i can't believe i'm hearing this certainly you've heard it before not from you -i'm not supporting the idea... no, but you're defending a priest... please do not raise your voice - ... and you're calling the rabbi a bigot? yes, a big one -really? first the chinese, now the jews, who's next? you, get out ožh, with pleasure so, basically, this marriage is all about money? -judge, i would guess a lot of marriages are if you trace the institution to its origins, you'll discover that marriage had its roots in economics not love, money i find it offensive why? -i'll tell you why speaking as a gay man, we have had to fight long and hard for this right we have suffered ridicule, hatred, gay-bashing you're preaching to the old boys choir we're with you on that no, you're making a mockery of it... -we're doing no such thing you're blatant heterosexual so what? are you proposing a rule that every couple be sexually active, or procreational? cause that's been used against you -your honor, this is exactly what the religious right and conservative movements have been warning of: “if we allow same sex marriage, what next? ” well, this is what's next you will see people exploiting same sex unions to circumvent... -you hypocrit all right h's suggesting we go into some kind of discovery as to why two people want to marry, the very kind of invasive legislat... this does seem a bit cynical you are basically wanting to marry denny crane... -to skirt tax laws your honor, in this day and age, the preservation of wealth is paramount and i'm sorry, before i see mr crane's money go to fund immoral wars or less moral government bail-outs, i'd rather see it go to me the plans i have for it are far more philanthropic and by the way, i love him, ok? -i love the man. he loves me. we're partners. to say that we cannot get married because we don't have sex, is... just as preposterous and bigoty as banning marriage based on who a person chooses to have sex with. h will be fueling the fire to pass a constitutional ban on... -you're the one stoking the embers. for what it's worth, this isn't about just money. there are medical reasons. he happens to be suffering from an incurable illness. you can do that by proxy. -he doesn't want to. he wants a partner, a legal spouse. why? that's his prerogative, his privacy. you seek to invade that too? -all right, i have heard the arguments. let me take an hour, and i will decide. you have no idea, what you'll be stowing up. all right. is she not beautiful? -who is she? ožpposing counsel. she's arguing for the government. flying here from tennessee. it's all good, alan. -she's hot, and doctors say, blood flow in any direction is good for my brain are you packed? because we're going straight from court to the airport will you stop nagging me? -we're not married yet just get packed this is crazy neither of us are very religious people we haven't even talked about it before. -why are we letting this nonsense stand in our way? well, most people don't talk about religion, and it doesn't enter into our daily lives, but it is nevertheless a value, and it's obvious that you and i have different values, carl. religion is not a value. spirituality? yes. -belief in god? ok. but religion itself? it's a discipline, one that pretends to be about love, family and charity, too often is a vehicle of hatred and war. yeah, it's starting up a little war right now between you and me. -and it really pisses me off that it is politically incorrect to celebrate christmas, but you get all your... yom kippur, rosh hashanah, hanucca, passover. my god, you have a gazillion of them. -paul. little bit of good news. the... dreaded monster that they're bringing in to oversee litigation? do we know who it is? we do. -me. for whatever reason, i seem to have their trust. well, that is good news. yes. is there bad news? -shirley, i don't think i can save denny. well, that's a moot point, fighting for me or alan... or carl, probably jerry, maybe îšatie. if you talk to the others... i won't. shirley, come on. -we have to face it, that denny... could get better if he gets this drug, it is showing a lot of promise, denny could improve. all right, look, -i do find this union to be primarily based on money. i also agree withmr pinnard. this is the exact kind of exploitation that christian right and others feared. but i also recognize, people marry for all sorts of reasons. it's not the government's place to ask why. -mr pinnard, there are many gays who marry heterosexuals. also gays who marry gays of the opposite sex, because they want to start a family, be co-parents... nothing to do with romantic love. i hardly think you believe the government should step in and stop that same-sex unions are legal in massachusetts. -your motion for an injunction is denied. the dock on nimmo bay. we go directly from dc. we're going to need somebody from massachusetts to perform the ceremony. your honour, by any chance do you like to fish? -you will keep the others if you feel it is warranted, but denny crane absolutely must go. the lawyers here are extremely loyal to him. it doesn't matter. the man is mentally unbalanced. he's a danger to himself and others and cannot be allowed to stay. -i will tell you this, right now. i would not want to risk losing alan shore. mr shore needs to be reined in. we understand he is a brilliant attorney, but he is undisciplined... and also needs overseeing. we are not afraid to lose him, if we must... in time. -denny, shouldn't we just go up to the room, we've got a big day tomorrow. not to mention i don't want to look puffy on my wedding day. let's get a night cap, it would settle our nerves. i hear hillary comes here denny, she... -i just wanna meet her once, before... you and i... you know, i think she'd like me. i have a feeling about us. you and hillary? yeah, we're bo... -what? that's her. hillary? wonder-girl from tennessee she's at the bar. -bet she's staying at the same hotel. what are you doing? if i can make her see me as a human being... she'll have mercy on our case but she won't see you as a human being -you'll reveal yourself to be the animal that you are give me some credit will you, please? i'm going up to the room. i've got too much to go over i'll see you up there -denny, don't say anything to that woman that she can use against us i won't double scotch mitch shoemaker,hello. -it'd be a pleasure to meet you, mitch, if i had time. unfortunately, i don't. thanks. whatever she's drinking. she's not. -look, i'm not hitting on you. i'm old enough to be your grandfather. in fact, you remind me of my granddaughter. you got a... a grandpa? is he in good health? -lot of them aren't. mitch... can i call youmitch? cause you look more like a denny to me. how did you know? you're very famous. -well, i won't bore you with my usual nonsense. you seem like a very nice young lady. i have alzheimer's disease you're not alone. over 5 million americans do, including my own grandmother -so, you know how can you... take the position you're taking, if you know? i would think you'd want your grandmother to have dimebolin. have you read the data? it helps with cognition, the memory. -could be a life-saver. and it's only completed two trials there's still a lot of testing that needs to be done. what stage is she in, your grandma? three. -but she's lucid enough to know what you'll be arguing tomorrow. i'm not going to discuss my family matters with you, mr crane. what i can tell you: there's a very human face on everyone of those five million people, including you. and tomorrow i'll be fighting for all of them, including you. good night,mr crane. -we'll see you in the great hall. all persons having business before the honourable... do you think they'll remember us? how could they not? look at ginsburg. -does the woman now want me? the woman's on heat. clarence looks like he wants you too, denny. check out scalia "cherry mcchuckles" alito looks glad to see us. -god, it's good to be back. all right, ms brooks, let's start with you. thank you, mr chief justice. may it please the court, the right of the terminally ill to use experimental drugs is nowhere guaranteed in our constitution. so what? -does every right have to be bestowed by the constitution? certainly not, your honor. but in the absence of any law or legislative intent, which provides.. come on, counsel -if this man is dying of an incurable disease why not give him the unapproved drug? who does it hurt? first of all,mr crane is not necessarily terminal. he... you know something about alzheimer's we don't? -i know the disease can take unpredictable courses... particularly when it comes to progression and all with the same ending the fda bans experimental drug use with good reason because this does not just involve the individual patients. -if untested drugs are suddenly made available, people will forego entering into clinical drug trials. promising drugs might not be studied, and therefore never reach the market. that hurts... over 5 million people have alzeimer's something tells me we have plenty of subjects for clinical trials -with all due respect, justice scalia, if people can simply buy the drug, they won't choose to enter into a clinical study where they can risk getting a placebo why shouldn't a person have a right to medical self-defence this court rejected that right in... in marijuana cases, where there are other treatments available we let women abort viable fetuses to protect their own lives -a person may shoot and attack to death in self-defence shouldn't this man be able to take a drug to save himself, especially if it's his only hope? no. first of all, dying people are willing to assume any risk, including taking dangerous, untested drugs, which could kill them sooner but again, what's the downside... -the downside is clinical trials get short-changed, interfered with the safety and efficacy of these drugs is at stake, not to mention millions of lives my grandmother has alzheimer's she's one of those five million people she sits at home, waiting for a cure, desperate for fda approval, which could very well be delayed by letting... -we've seen how pharmaceutical companies work it's not about finding cures, so much as it is about finding markets selling if they get to peddle promising but untested drugs, we all know they'll do it drugs that engender false hopes ones with higher profit margins, if they get to skip the testing -investors will pump their money into snake-oils that dress up well this is not a scrupulous industry, your honour they most certainly don't deserve a pass on clinical trials, and that is what will effectively happen if untested drugs are okayed by this court this woman is good would you forgive a "bride-zilla" -going a little nuts during her wedding week? i'm sorry, carl i wanted to get married in a church i wanted everything to be so perfect... because i am marrying the greatest man i have ever known and loved and... -do you still want me? ožf course i want you if you wanna raise the kids jewish, i'm ok with that even with all the gazillions of holidays? the only thing i really care about... -i do wanna celebrate christmas, but... there's one thing i really care about... and that is getting to spend the rest of my life with you, so if you want to elope, let's do it i talked to denny he and alan have a judge and they're flying up to nimmo bay to get married he proposes we join, make it a joint ceremony maybe we should -ožh, yes! i had my heart set on a church, but failing that, a fishing lodge! it's not just a fishing lodge, i'm told shirley, we could be married by this time saturday you've certainly come a long way, mr fuddy-duddy -who knows how much longer we'll all be together? a road trip could be fun we already have a problem in this country of rushing unsafe drugs to the market, it's epidemic and, as soon as we allow patients, especially the desperate ones, to exempt drugs from testing, it's going to get exponentially worse fewer people will be saved rather, more will die -science tramped by false hope and permissive advertising... ms brooks, the red light is been on for some time if i could just add... no. you've exceeded your limit -i think you should get a little band to play people off, you know, like the ožscars and the emmys just a thought ok, before we even get started let's be clear on a few things this time, you will conduct yourself in a manner befitting this court. you will address only the issues before this court, and not derail yourself with a spiralling ramp that serves no purpose other than... -what is that? i'm very sorry. i have a tendency to not notice that little red light, so i programmed my tie to also alert me when i've been talking too long. evidently, my tie thinks that you have. turn it off, right now. -yes, sir. we go way back. ok mr. shore, your time is starting right now use it wisely thank you mr. chief justice -let me begin by extending a special greeting to justice thomas justice thomas still the chatty kathy, ok where to begin? let's begin with your brief which was conspicuously thin on case law -that's because most of the case law doesn't support us but let's be honest this court hasn't been that big on precedent anyway, am i right? i mean, we have 200 years of the supreme court not one found a constitutional right to bear arms, but you happen to like arms, so, what the hell? established case law also tells us that torture and denial of due process are bad, but evidently you favor both, so in the guantanamo case the big "never mind" -you people throw precedent with the morning trash here mr. shore, i'm curious that i didn't know what could possible possess you to want to come in here and be cocky? do you think this helps your client? -actually, the reason i am, uh, a little cocky... is because my client, denny crane is the little guy here and the supreme court of the united states has always always stood up for the little guy... as they did for ožliver brown a black man who fought for his third-grade daughter to be able to go to the same -elementary school as her best friend and who was white though, of course, this particular supreme court has gutted brown vs board of education because precedent, as we said who needs it? but... -counsel, i gave you an express directive to stick to this case yes, getting to it, your honour you see, i happen to know the little guy is due in this court that's why i'm confident the little guy's been taking such a beating of late in this room -i just know he's due. oh, you think the little guy loses out with us? don't you? come on, enron, the makers of medical devices the tobacco industry has done very well here -this court heard 7 anti-trust cases in its first two terms and decided all of them in favor of big corporate defendants and, of course, the biggest player on the block, the government always seems to win and then, on the other end of that particular see-saw down there, stuck in the mud we have the losers -the criminal defendants. forget 'em. my god. just last month, you turned down a stay of execution for a georgia man even though 7 of the 9 prosecution witnesses recanted -i guess you just couldn't be bothered with his innocence maybe it was friday and you had plans anytime you want to weigh in, justice thomas, just give me a little wave counsel, i had plans, today. i have a flight booked at 1:00 for a vacation which i've looked forward to for a long, long time -and i will make that flight, counsel which means as soon as that red light blinks... yes, your honour, i promise you will be out of here and on vacation in a jiffy and speaking for all americans, i give you permission to stay away for as long as you like but first, there's this matter of the little guy -he's here in your courtroom and he's due... for a win my... client has alzheimer's. i know what you're probably thinking, and you're right, denny crane is hardly a little guy -he's the very... biggest. he's rich, he's famous, he's one of the giants of our profession but that isn't really what makes him so... it's his enormous foolish heart -it's his boundless generosity denny has a sense of wonder and innocence like a child with all of the world before him he has that capacity for... sheer joy that... most of us somehow lose -along the road to adulthood denny is my best friend i love him with all my heart if i could yank that horrible disease out of his body i would fight it, and i would win i would use every ounce of my strength and i would win, if i could... but i can't. -my best friend is dying of an incurable disease... that will rob him of himself before it finally robs him of his life and i'm sorry, i don't give a damn what the case law says the law... you simply cannot look a dying man in the eye -and say you don't get the right to try and save yourself. the law cannot possibly say that and if it does it needs to change, right now, today. today. our problem, mr shore -we have to safeguard the masses our rulings don't reach people one person at a time but why can't they? make this ruling apply only to denny crane if you choose to just make it -your honour, deeply embedded in this court in so many of its holdings is the individual's autonomy and personal dignity so, tell me, please, explain to me how that cannot apply here because all i can see is the indecency of a disease that cripples the body as it rots the brain -can only be exceeded by the inhumanity of knowing there's a drug that could help and not letting him have it contrary to the public's perception, i think, when asked, most judges and lawyers would say... the reason they first went to law school... was simply to help people -this man i love my friend desperately needs your help i beg the nine of you to look within yourselves... and revisit that question why did you go to law school? why did you want to sit up there and wear that robe? -because today this experimental drug isn't really denny crane's last best hope. you are you are when the bells are ringing i hear them tingle-linging -ooh, they're ringing... ringing closer and closer to me i hear the organ playing you know, this is ridiculous yes, and we wouldn't want it any other way -there it is. nimmo bay don't you think it's low? indian summer we're on our honeymoon -our honey moon we're on our honeymoon on our honeymoon all right, let's not waste time i don't want a honeymoon with a salmon -heaven on earth let's send out for some scotch nothing younger than 25 years are there bears here? isn't this the time of year they look to fatten up? this really is beautiful. -i'm afraid of it, but it's beautiful. what are you afraid of? ožh, you name it... the water, the woods... canada. -stop it this is your vacation? he brought a standing buddy where's the secret service? your honor, this is fate you must admit... -don't talk to me i won't, i promise, if i could just ask you one little thing... i mean, it can't be ex parte we're on a dock. could you look any sillier? i know you can -but, have you had an opportunity to think about that little... favour i sought to carry in court? is just that i'm dying to know denny is, actually ožn monday, the court will issue a one-line memo granting you the use of the experimental drug -you mean it? i'm cured i could just hug you, may i? i'll have you jailed your honour, i truly... -i don't know what to say may i call you nino? because... you may not i've always heard you're a compassionate man -now i know i came up here to fish if you'll excuse me your honour, one last thing denny and i came up here to be married i know you want to get to the river we did bring a judge of our own -but the possibility of an upgrade... i at least have to ask we're gonna make this really fast which is what we want. if i may say.. -no, you may not you all take your respective parties to be lawfully wedded partners to love, honour and obey till death do you part? your honour, that might be a little faster than we... you want me to do this? -we do. i know pronounce you... no, wait. we were saying "we do" to the question "do we want you to do it?" mr. shore, the coho are jumping at seymour falls -your honour, this is our wedding day join hands. are you going to be serious about this? because if not... alan, i've never been more serious about anything -in my entire life ok, let's go do you, carl and denny respectively take shirley and alan respectively, to be your lawfully wedded partners to love, honour and obey... -and cherish especially cherish ...and cherish, till death do you part? i do i do and do you shirley and alan respectively take carl and denny, respectively -to be your lawfully wedded partners to love, honour, obey and cherish... till death do you part? i do i do -you all understand what it means to be married?

nothing? -isn't captain jack gay? he's not gay. he's bi. or omni-sexual, if you prefer. save the cheerleader, save the world. -save some for me. nice pom-poms. captain jack harkness? you trying to tell us something, billy? what? -no! i... what are you looking at? i hate to break the news to you, lisa, but you and katie look nothing like the pixar lamp. that was just mean. -i think you guys look great. what? now, you're mocking me. receiving encrypted message. classification, eyes only. -encrypted message coming through. who's it from? decrypting now. cia. it's a video message from an operator. -it's faint and degraded, like it's being blocked. reset the frequency. repeat... extraction... can you enhance the image? -working on it. zoe, give him a hand. put it up on all screens. whoa! this thing is live. -billy, boost the signal. request immediate extraction. repeat. repeat. request extraction. -my cover has been blown. verify this. request immediate extraction. request immediate extraction. looks real. -where is he? don't have a location. what about a locator beacon? it doesn't appear to be on. why the hell wouldn't he have it activated? -maybe he can't. try a remote trigger. nothing. zoe, get me the cia. i'm losing the signal. -hang onto it. i'm trying. the cia put me on hold. code name samhain. what did he say? -code name samhain. code name... cross-check that code name. let's identify exactly what this is. no match on the code name. -run anagrams. running anagrams. crap! somebody's jamming his signal. my coordinates are... -he's giving coordinates. happyhalloween. i got all of you. that is awesome. aren't you going to rip him a new one for that? -actually, i thought it was pretty funny. you need to learn to loosen up, sarah. it's halloween. i got to loosen up? this from the man that never smiles? -i'll see you at the halloween party. and good job on the mission. nice work, both of you. hey, guys, we're going to try to climb above this storm, see if we can get some smoother air. code name samhain. -the ancient celtic festival halloween is based on. he got us good. the video message was mike. he just sent us the footage of his set up. look at this. -where is he? he's up in the air vent above the tunnel. what's in his mouth? relay transponder. so we wouldn't know he actually sent the message from the plane. -he's good. that boy loves his halloween. he certainly does. how long have you been planning this? months. -what are you, 12? michael, i do not understand the immense personal pleasure you find in frightening your friends. you're supposed to scare each other on halloween. nor do i understand the lengths to which you are willing to go to achieve your goal. it's called trick or treat. -but you did not give them the option of treat. that's because i like trick better. halloween's his favorite holiday, kitt. it's always been. what is your favorite holiday, sarah? -i like fourth of july for fireworks. and thanksgiving for the food. but i love christmas. because of the presents? i do like getting presents. -i have one for you. do i look stupid? no, sarah, you do not. what? i am so not opening that. -it's probably full of spiders or something. it's a present, sarah. okay. i'll open it. happy halloween. -it reminded me of trick-or-treating with you when we were kids. that's why halloween was always my favorite holiday, 'cause you were there. thank you. you're welcome. ew! -mike! god! there seems to be no length to which you will not go for a halloween prank, michael. absolutely not. who are you supposed to be? -captain jack harkness. the time-traveling bisexual? the one and only. well, you look nothing like him. can you give me a hand? -oh! not a big fan of severed limbs. it's for the halloween party. i'm going to get mike this year. payback? -it's a long time coming. when he was in high school, he took my car apart piece by piece, and then, put it back together on the roof of my lab. i had to hire a crane to lift it off. i'm going to get him this year. come on, zoe, let's make our rounds and then we will hit the party. -yeah. wait! you forgot your appendage. i hate flying in bad weather. look, kitt, somebody's scared. -hey, kitt, have you decided on a halloween costume for the party? yes, sarah. do you think anyone will recognize me? i think you look great, kitt. yeah, that's an... -that's an awesome costume. personally, i would have went more for a vampire look. you do know, michael, that there is no such creature as a vampire. you've never met any of the girls he's dated. are you implying that michael has dated bloodsuckers? -be nice, sarah. let's just say that mike doesn't always make the best choice. but at one point, his choice was you, sarah. i believe i have said something that made both of you very uncomfortable. no. -not at all. and has caused your hormone levels to rise dramatically. kitt. once again, i am detecting a release of pheromones. kitt, you've got to stop doing that. -doing what, michael? the invasion of privacy. kitt. i cannot understand why you two cannot get it together. yeah. -this room's unlocked. good one, dr. graiman. this part of your plan to get mike? no, wait, i didn't have anything to do with this. mike. -very funny, mike. what? dead tech in the mainframe room. dead tech? what are you talking about? -that's awesome. how long can you go without blinking? come on, blink. i won't tell. come on. -whoa! that dude's really dead. nice one, doc. you almost had me. i don't think this is a halloween prank. -what? you're in on this, too? somebody accessed the mainframe. this is great. see, kitt, this is what halloween is all about. -get carrie. we have an internal breach. michael, i do not believe this is a halloween prank. dr. graiman appears to be truly frightened. the mainframe has been compromised. -an internal breach means... i know what an internal breach means, kitt. dad! zoe! kitt, get the chat line back up. -i am unable. what just happened? three shots were fired at dr. graiman and zoe. the probability of a fatal hit from that range is 97%. emergency lockdown. -all personnel, please report to your workstations and remain there until further notice. i'm getting nothing on the ground. external communication suspended. repeat. external communication suspended. -emergency lockdown. all personnel, please report to your workstations and remain there until further notice. external communication suspended. we have three people down. at least three shots were fired. -kitt, what's happening? the entire complex has gone into emergency lockdown, initiated by agent rivai, who is following fbi protocol for a situation such as this. the suspect is armed and dangerous and trapped within the complex. approach with extreme caution. apprehend with extreme prejudice. -try re-establishing contact. there is no communication into or out of the complex, sarah. sorry about that air pocket. it looks like we weren't able to climb above the storm. i'm going to need you to strap yourselves in. -external communication suspended. check zoe. you got it. external communication suspended. emergency lockdown. -all personnel, please report to your workstations and remain there until further notice. what the hell is going on? internal breach. the mainframe's been infiltrated. dr. graiman and zoe are both, uh, down. -and there's a shooter with a gun somewhere in the complex. run a security check on all entry points in the last 24 hours. what am i looking for? any anomaly of any kind, no matter how small. and pull up surveillance footage from in and around the location of the breach. -we've got to find that shooter. now. external communication suspended. repeat. kitt, we need to know what's happening. -i am sorry, michael. but protocol dictates communication silence. can you override protocol? i cannot. what are you doing? -michael, sarah must remain secure in her seat. the odds are extremely high that she will be injured in a storm of this magnitude. i know, kitt! sarah! michael, the likelihood of one or both of you being injured has just increased. -what are you doing? trying to override the protocol. overriding the protocol is not possible. it is, if you've built in a back door. sarah, a back door is a secret means of access and implies that you deceived other members of the team. -kitt, stop your slide! gravity is controlling my slide, michael, not me. kitt, do something now! what part of now didn't you understand? if i had just fired now as you suggested, -i would have ripped a hole through the fuselage. i had to calculate the area with the greatest tensile strength, so as not to damage the structural integrity of the aircraft. next time, calculate faster. were you injured? no. -then, my calculations were fast enough. this storm is a lot bigger than we thought. please keep yourselves strapped in until we get through it. emergency lockdown. all personnel, please report to your workstations. -it all happened so fast. i dove to the floor, right before the gunshots. i think i knocked dr. graiman down and he hit his head. all personnel, please report to your... this is billy. -billy, pull up all the surveillance footage from in and around the crime scene. already working on it. there's nothing unusual at any of the entry points in the last 24 hours. expand the entry search to the last 48 hours. all our weapons are accounted for. -they had to get that weapon in here somehow. this is impossible. there's no shooter, no dr. graiman and no zoe. who don't you trust that you need to give yourself a back door? one thing my father taught me. -all good programmers give themselves a back door. is there a back door in me, sarah? there's nothing in the room. no fingerprints. mainframe access identification has been wiped. -even the memory of the code key at the door has been erased. what have you got on surveillance? we got nothing. somebody programmed a loop to slow us down. the cameras were disabled. -what about outside the room? cameras outside were disabled, as well. where's the nearest camera? main corridor. hundreds of people. -it will take hours to get through playback. you got a better idea? yeah, pull an audio fingerprint from the mainframe room. re-create the conversation? yes. -you can do that? as long as there was a conversation. and chances are, the victim didn't go quietly. do it. emergency lockdown. -all personnel... you have not answered my question. sarah, is there a back door in my programming? don't look at me. there probably is, kitt. -why? you know, i still think you would look better as a vampire, kitt. you know, big fangs. cape. michael, why are you helping sarah avoid my question? -'cause sarah doesn't want to answer your question, kitt. all personnel will follow lockdown procedures. anyone not following emergency lockdown protocol is subject to immediate detention and arrest. emergency lockdown in effect. all personnel will follow lockdown... -are you okay? yeah. anyone not following emergency lockdown protocol is subject to immediate detention and arrest. emergency lockdown in effect. all personnel will follow lockdown... -what was that? anyone not following emergency lockdown protocol is subject to immediate detention and arrest. i think you hurt kitt's feelings. he doesn't have feelings. you should talk to him. -i'm a little busy. sarah. kitt, i don't know why my father would have built a back door into you. but if he did, there is a good reason. what reason would that be? -why don't you help me reestablish contact with the ssc, and then, we can ask him. thank you. we'll be outside. you okay? kitt's self-destruct program has been activated from the mainframe. -what self-destruct program? the one i uploaded. you had no right to build a self-destruct into kitt. no, i had every right. i had no choice. -i will not have another karr on my hands. who activated it? i don't know. whoever it was in that room that shot at us. how much time do we have? -less than 30 minutes. we have to get that plane down or sarah and mike are dead. they're over the ocean, a thousand miles from land. just turn off the self-destruct. i can't. -how were you able to make contact in the middle of a lockdown? sarah programmed a back door into the system. like father, like daughter. okay, mike, listen up. kitt's self-destruct program has been activated. -you've got less than 30 minutes. self-destruct program? what self-destruct program? i'll explain later. sarah, use my password to enter kitt's system. -if sarah can get into the system, she can shut it off, right? no, only the person that activated the self-destruct can de-activate it via a digital hand scan. which means the only way for us to stop it now is to find the shooter. but you guys are in the middle of a lockdown. and we don't know who we're looking for. -i mean, no one saw anything. there's over 1,700 people working in this complex, which means the killer could be anywhere. or anyone. so, what happens when kitt self-destructs? he explodes. -yeah. that's what i thought. kitt, activate touch screen keyboard. activating keyboard. self-destruct sequence in 20 minutes and counting. -why is there always a ticking clock? the ssc can't help us. we're on our own. why does your father wish to destroy me, sarah? he doesn't, kitt. -then, why would he program a self-destruct sequence into me without my knowledge? i'm sure he had a reason. although i am not capable of emotions, i cannot help but feel that i have been betrayed. first, you have to separate the sound waves. -the brighter the color, the stronger the sound. in most cases, the stronger sound waves are the most recent. except the gunshots. those are the red waves. now, because the gunshots are so easily identified, -i'm using them as my starting point. now, i've isolated all the sounds after the shooting. they're in green. those are you, the security team and the emt's, as you entered the room. dr. graiman is purple. -zoe is yellow, because that's her favorite color. did i just say that out loud? go on, billy. uh... once i capture and digitize the sound waves, the conversation can be reconfigured like this. -somebody accessed the mainframe. get carrie. we have an internal breach. the mainframe has been compromised. so, what i do now is eliminate what i have identified. -you, the security team. and dr. graiman. and the emt's, zoe. the gunshots. and what you see is everything that's left from the time the door lock was first opened until zoe and dr. graiman enter. -now, i separate these. one we know is the dead tech. and the other is going to take a little longer to figure out. can't we just listen to it? uh... -tagging a sound as a pattern is easy. translating that pattern back into a sound is very difficult, unless you have an existing match. and this could be any one of over 1,700 people in the complex. kitt, we have to figure out how to shut down this program. there is no way to shut it down. -your father's self-destruct program is foolproof. there has to be something we can do. there is one thing. what's that? remove me from the plane. -what? i must be removed from the plane, so that you and sarah are not killed. no, that's not going to happen, kitt. sarah will figure out a way to stop this thing. right, sarah? -sarah? i can't stop it. if we can identify the shooter as male or female, that will cut your voice recognition time in half, right? yeah, but we haven't got a visual on the shooter. the med techs just completed an autopsy. -virtual forensics hologram, now active. virtual bullet reconstruction. acute angle for the bullet. wide pattern for the gsr. so, the killer's got to be under 5'5" and be able to get close. -no defensive wounds either, which would suggest that the killer knew the victim. we were able to pull enough bullet fragments to do a virtual reconstruction. see if you can pull prints. who was he? the victim. -bobby maccrory, lab tech. been here seven months. seven months? man, i've got to start going to those company mixers. this is interesting. -you got a print? no. there's a human fiber on the bullet. obviously from the victim. i'm thinking not. -why? because it doesn't contain a y-chromosome. it's female dna. that doesn't mean the shooter's female. just that a female touched the bullet. -no, but couple it with the height and the lack of struggle. i'm guessing we're looking for a woman. what if you guessed wrong? with the time we have, that's a risk i'm willing to take. narrow your search to females. -dr. graiman, if we don't stop kitt's self-destruct... i know, zoe. can't we just download his files? his shell's expendable. sarah, we'll download kitt back to the ssc, then jettison his shell. -dad, we'll only be able to download his files, not his neural network or thought process. okay. what does that mean? it means we will only be downloading my data, michael. not my being, or the essence of who i am. -my memories will be reduced to raw data, with no significance or attachment. so, we're giving kitt a lobotomy? kitt, i can upload your files into the backup neural network. the backup network is not me. it's the only way i can save you, kitt. -then, i would rather not be saved, dr. graiman. and i must confess, i am not pleased with your deception. i had no choice. and i'm sorry. but i am sorry, dr. graiman. -i cannot allow you to download my files. i will do everything i can to protect you, kitt. it's okay, kitt. sarah and i will take care of you, i promise. i trust you, michael. -i have unlocked my files. sarah, you may begin the download. look at this. we're starting to have panic on some of the other floors. if we're right about the shooter being a woman, i have the voice print. -what are you doing? what did you do? that's a female voice, but it's not saying much. personal... wrong... -wrong time. nothing personal. you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time. this is a mistake. the voice print is 99.9% accurate. -do i look 5'5" to you? actually, i recalculated the bullet's entry angle. the shooter's not under 5'5". they're crouching and at least 5'10". i'm sorry, carrie. -but i'm going to need your weapon. zoe, get security. whoa, whoa! wait a minute. security to the ssc immediately. -carrie, please, your weapon. security personnel to ssc. repeat. security personnel... agent rivai! -hey! hey! hold on a second. wait, maybe i made a mistake with the audio print. carrie, you don't want to do this. -move your hand away from your weapon. alex. it's all right. he's just following protocol. i would do the same. -confine her to a pod room. two guards posted outside at all times. is that really necessary? alex, you can't seriously believe she has anything to do with this. we have her on surveillance exiting the chamber right before the murder. -time codes match. look, she was making her rounds. she makes her rounds at this time every night. but she makes her rounds alone. check playback. -cross-check the time codes. carrie does make her rounds at the same time every night. a perfect alibi. what? she shot at me. -you, too, dr. graiman. she could have killed us, just like the tech. we don't know it was her. we don't know it wasn't. check tonight's playback. -it's another loop. are you sure? yeah, yeah. the same tech guy keeps walking past. check playback for the rest of the floor. -cross-checking, all playback for this floor is gone. what do you mean, gone? gone. it's... it's been wiped. -there is no way carrie's a killer. who better to misdirect an investigation than the person leading it? it's not possible. not carrie. deception does seem to be the theme of the day, michael. -starting with sarah and dr. graiman. is it possible everyone is playing an elaborate halloween prank on you? i wish they were. mike, i think we might be able to deactivate kitt's self-destruct manually. how? -old-school mechanics. basically, my father created what amounts to an internal bomb using kitt's operating system. his processor acts as the trigger and his propulsion system the incendiary device. if we pull out his propulsion system... you mean drop the engine. -sort of. sarah, defusing my self-destruct manually will take a team of highly trained mechanics exactly 11 minutes, 17 seconds, at maximum efficiency, which would leave you 47 seconds short. i can't believe you think carrie had anything to do with this. voice print doesn't lie. and as head of security, she had access to the entire surveillance system. -all right, we're going to use billy's audio print to track carrie's movements. now, there's no way she's the shooter. somebody's setting her up and we're going to find out who and why. michael? what is it like to not remember? -sarah and i will help you remember who you were, kitt. thank you, michael, but i am afraid i will no longer be me once my data is uploaded to the backup neural network. the backup is not me. it is a replica. i promise we'll take care of you, kitt. -if you don't mind, i'd like to replay some of my favorite memories, just in case. kitt, when did you start using contractions? i didn't realize i was, sarah. kitt. yes, michael? -initiate beer run program. michael, my database contains no such program. and it is illegal to have open alcoholic beverage containers on the beach. kitt, roll down your windows. mike! -dude, billy... happy birthday, sarah. all your favorite memories are of us. yes, michael. they are. -every cowboy needs a sidekick. i would not sell yourself short, michael. you are much more than a horse. hey, sense of humor. that's new. -so is friendship. wow. i've got carrie in the rec room. any idea when? it appears that the sound waves are the same strength as the mainframe room. -what are you doing? reversing the voice print. a person can't be in two places at the same time. they're exactly the same strength, which means one of them is a fake. nothing personal. -hey, julie, how are you doing? look, run a side by side comparison. hey, julie. nothing personal. you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time. -it's carrie's voice but it's a manufactured version. it had to have been faked using samples, and then pieced back together with very sophisticated software. so, if carrie was in here, who was in the mainframe room? yeah, well, whoever it was knows everything about us. every procedure. -every protocol. fire emergency. oh, great. that's all we need, a fire in the middle of a lockdown with a killer on the loose. i bet the killer started it. -we have a fire. where? carrie's pod room. get fire control on it now. fire control to pod room, stat. -torres. alex, listen to me. carrie is not the shooter. the killer is still on the loose. i think whoever they were started the fire so you would cancel the lockdown and open the doors. -if that fire spreads, we have to open the exits or we're all dead. i don't care if this whole place goes down in flames. nobody goes in or out until we find out exactly what's going on here. what's going on? we thought there was a fire. -the alarm went off and the computer identified your pod room as the source. i believe i have discovered why dr. graiman uploaded the self-destruct into me. dr. graiman is concerned that i may develop the ability to self-program. kitt, self-programming's not possible. it was possible in my original prototype. -what prototype? i thought you were one of a kind. yeah, kitt, what are you talking about? i am talking about karr, sarah. there's another mustang out there, and it's named car? -not c-a-r, michael. k a-r-r. knight auto-cybernetic roving robotic-exoskeleton. and he was not a mustang. -he was a cybernetic exoskeleton programmed for self-preservation. a killer robot. by the time he was decommissioned, he was more cyborg than robot. you wouldn't happen to have a picture of this thing, would you? wow. -and i thought you were cool, kitt. carrie, can you place your hand on this tablet? why? if you're the shooter, you'll stop kitt's self-destruct. access denied. -you were set up. why? we don't know. but we're going to find out. give her back her weapon. -kitt, what else can you tell me about karr? i have given you all the information that i have access to. so, you're saying there's information about karr you don't have access to? i believe there is much about karr to which i don't have access. come on, we don't have much time. -mike? mike. there's something about this thing, sarah. what? i don't know. -it's like déjà vu. i feel like i know karr somehow. there is no fire. someone's setting off false alarms randomly throughout the complex. screwing with us. -her voice was faked using samples. she's the head of security. oh, man. it's a misdirect. carrie... -i would have done the same. there's no audio print of the shooter leaving the room. what are you talking about? the sound waves should have drifted if someone left the room. instead, it's like the shooter disappeared inside the room. -they're still there. that's why we haven't found them. mike, carrie was set up. then, the whole murder and break-in was just a cover for something else. and what is it making us do? -stop the download. why? everything that's happening in the ssc is a diversion so that we'll download kitt. stop the download. it's too late. -his files are gone. clear. clear. check for false doors and walls. clear. -nothing. alex. she knocked me out. this is billy. billy, listen carefully. -zoe is not zoe. what are you talking about? listen, she's not zoe. she's an imposter. you're not zoe, are you? -not even close. i knew zoe would never kiss me. can't we just cut a wire like in the movies? you know, red or blue? not that simple. -then, we're running out of time. i'm going to have to dump kitt out of the plane. come on, mike, we can do this. michael's right, sarah. you must jettison me from the aircraft. -cancel the lockdown and open the exit doors. i'm afraid i can't do that. then, i'm going to kill you. i'll see what i can do. she set off the self-destruct so we'd download kitt. -she's after his files. you all right? mmm. emergency lockdown override. she's got billy. -where are they going? chamber door opening. the entry tunnel. why would billy lead her out through the tunnel? all right. -open the next one. now! ow! faster. you know, in some ways, you're a lot like the real zoe. -fbi! freeze! do not open those doors, billy. she gets into that tunnel, it's a clear shot to the outside. we have no idea who's out there waiting for her. -uh, i'm not real comfortable with this, guys. drop your weapon! sarah, we are running out of time. you must allow michael to jettison me before it's too late. drop your weapon! -there's no way out! take another step and i'll kill him. you shoot him, i'll drop you like a bad habit. someone tell me this is some sort of halloween prank, please? he's losing it. -no, he's not. he's a genius. he's telling us exactly how to stop her. zoe! you're going to reach out to the control panel and close the door at the opposite end of the tunnel. -billy, don't do it. if i move, they're going to shoot. if you don't, i'm going to. self-destruct in two minutes. okay. -we're out of time. no! mike! sarah, please listen to michael. i'm moving closer. -billy. i'm almost there. come on! move it! i can't believe you thought she was me. -i didn't really think it was you. michael, the cargo door has malfunctioned. your window to jettison me has passed. i have informed the pilot and co-pilot. they are ready to evac on your mark. -don't worry, sarah. with michael's exceptional skills, you have a better than 50% chance of survival. i'm not worried about us, kitt. i'm worried about you. we've got to go. -kitt, tell the pilot and co-pilot to evac now. twenty, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12. self-destruct in 10 seconds. give me your right hand. hold still or i will cut it off at the wrist. -seven, six, five, four. access granted. self-destruct aborted. michael, my self-destruct has been aborted. kitt, are you sure? -yes, michael. i'm sure. who do you work for? maybe you should ask yourself the same question. no! -no! she's dead. hangar doors opening. decontamination complete. chamber doors opening. -we have dna confirmation. her name was teri lee. she underwent facial reconstruction and altered her voice to assume zoe's identity. how did she know so much about this project? i don't know. -it's in washington's hands now. security's been doubled. every password and code has been changed and re-encrypted. every employee will be re-screened. this will never happen again. -yeah, alex, there are only three neural networks that support kitt's files. kitt, the backup and karr. karr wasn't decommissioned. he's still out there. you don't know that. -there's no other explanation. and if this woman had succeeded in putting kitt's brain into karr's body, she would have had the ultimate weapon. karr killed seven people, charles. there's no way they'd keep him around. i hope you're right. -well, this has been the craziest halloween ever. and i've had some crazy ones. try having someone dress up as you for halloween. try having everyone think you're a killer. try almost blowing up. -and we have a winner. i don't feel much like a party. me, neither. how do i know you're you? maybe a little kiss? -okay. really? that's funny. it's good to have you back. (birdsong) -elizabeth, i'ii tell you this for free. if one of us doesn't get through this door, i'm gonna do something drastic. (banging) oh! whatever do you do, sir, sleeping in the library? -what i do, madam, is collide with folly and conceit whenever i am rash enough to step outside this room. henceforth, i am minded to remain here. are you not happy that jane is wed to mr collins? happy? that my kindest, prettiest daughter has embarked upon an adulthood of supplication to such a preening caiiban? -happy, madam, that she should live in subjugation to such an enormity? i would rather sleep in a drain than consent to be happy! (mrs bennet) mr bennet... i haven't slept a wink. lizzie lost at books, now jane taken to another county. -what jane's done for papa, i'd rather die. door, pickaxe - a most satisfying juxtaposition. often wondered who was silly enough to leave this here. serves no earthly purpose. please reassure mrs bennet i'ii be out of the house in ten minutes. -i shan't take anything i didn't bring with me. don't forget that. it's not mine. i don't know how to thank you. yes, you do. -be reconciled with jane. do it soon. (bell tolls) good morning, mrs collins. you may be wondering why i have not called upon you in the night to claim the rapture that is mine... as ordained by the redeemer. -i'm engaged in a period of abstinence, for the purpose of purification. but when that period is concluded... oh, mrs collins! i have a mind to shear off all my hair. really? -anything to alter that expression of sentimental disappointment. what expression would you have me wear? i iove miss bennet still. but she is no ionger miss bennet. she is now mrs collins. -on your departure, my daughters may seek to engage you in conversation. i would prefer it if they weren't successful. your parting words of wisdom are treasures my girls can live without. you really do think i'm some sort of disease, don't you? spunk. -do you know the word? it's soldier's slang. the men use it to applaud a particular species of reckless courage. to my eye, miss price, you have spunk. hmm. -how you hate me. and yet, here you are. what choice do i have? well, precisely. now, you wish to crawl back into society and for this, you need me. -so, prepare the meagrest of ingredients with confidence and style and you shall serve a banquet. how much money do you have? a pound. i have two. i shall give you one of them and together, we shall buy you a dress. -i smile, yes? yes. the humble fan, for when one is consumed by one emotion but is constrained to exhibit another. why are you doing this? you want instruction in the arts of bearing and tone. -do not touch your nose. i've got an itch. ladies are strangers to the itch. show me the coquette imperial. you're selling me stale eggs at market. -do it again. better. show your face. acquaintances. consider your very good friends the de serac¨¦s. -the n'est plus ultra of parisian society - dear prince gustav, his charming wife, marie. their collection of porcelain is quite unparalleled. i've never heard of these people. they don't exist. of course. -of course. i've always found them commendabiy useful. i thought we were at war with france? ab-absolutely. yeah. -yeah. yeah. i really love what i 'm doing. and, uh- okay, well, i wishyou the very best ofhealth over easter. -we'll seeyou guys in about 1 0 days ' time when we're back. have a safe fl i ght. yeah. thanks very much. have a safe everything. -see you soon. best ofluck now. ri ght. thank you. the posters are being printed and the show has got a name- -al ive and wel i featuringjoe on sparkling form. and all the joy within you dies - don't you want somebody to love - ahead lies a packed timetable of extra rehearsals... plus a very unusual gig in a local jail at the end ofthe week. you'd better fi nd somebody to love -- -but there 's been one major change over easter. two days after i left, bob salvini had a cardiac arrest and was rushed to hospital... where the last rites were read to him. miraculously he pulled through... but for a few hours it was touch and go whether he would live or die. oh. i thought that was i t. -i real ly thought that was it. so did my kids. my younger daughter, as soon as she got the phone call... she woke up her baby, threw him in the car and rushed over here. we were all in the hallway thinking, "this is it." you know? bob has had so many things... where we think, "this is it"... and he gets better. -i'm not sure if it's prayer, which- i believe in prayer. terribly believe in prayer. or if it's his strong will. i think we're all set. this afternoon he's being moved from hospital to a convalescent unit near his home. -although he 's still very weak... his doctors are amazed by the speed ofhis recovery... and his determination to make the show in less than three weeks. i brought your watch. i thought that would make you feel good ifyou had your watch on. get that for you. mary ellen said that he has 20 lives. -mmm. and, uh, he's used a bunch of'em up. but he's, uh yeah, he's- yeah, he is amazing. are you going to make the show... ifyou can make it, bob? -are you going to sing with the young at heart chorus ifyou can do it? that performance ifyou can do it. i know you're gonna do it ifyou can do it. there's our poster that he looks at. -makes him feel happy. yeah, i-i think i think, um, if he can do it, he will do it. he's a trouper too. he wants to get back and he may get back in time for the show. -he may. bob thinks he will- bob cilman thinks he will. so at the moment you're doing his part, aren'tyou? i 'm learning it just in case he doesn't make it. that's troupership, whatever they call it. -how you feeling, robert? good? j ust give yourself a big hug. when we say "three," just squeeze tightly. ready? -one, two, three. well, we - know where we're goin'- take care. but we don 't know - -where we 've been - and we - know what we 're knowing '- t a ke ca re. what we 've seen - -and we 're - not little children - and we know - future is certain - give us time to - -work it out - i ' m g i ad that's done. i'm glad it's done. i feel like we 're on our way now. we 're on a road to nowhere - -come on inside - taking that ride to nowhere - we 'll take that ride - we' re on a road to nowhere - yaah-ha-ha! -there's a city i n my m i nd - come along and take that ride - and it's all right - baby, it's al i ri ght - though it's very far away - -but it's growing day by day - and it's all right - baby, it's al i ri ght - they can tellyou what to do - but they' i i make a fool of you - -and it's all right - baby, it's all right - there 's a city in my mind - come along and take that ride and it's all right - a i ittle bit faster now a i ittle bit faster now - -though it's very far away - but it's growl n' day by day and it's al i right - a i ittle bit faster now a little bit faster now - yes, they'll tellyou what to do - but they'll make a fool ofyou and it's all right - -a little bit faster now a little bit faster now - way-ay-ay-ohh - - way-ay-ay-ohh - way-ay-ay-ohh - - way-ay-ay-ohh - -we 're on a road - t o nowhere -- so, you know, here's the report on bob salvi ni. some ofyou have been aski ng. and that's that, um, he has now been moved... to, um, sunbridge... and he's getting rehab there. -and he should be done with that in two weeks, and then on the academy stage. you know, bob was i n bad shape. i don't know ifyou know. he had the last rites. i 'm curious -have any ofyou ever had the last rites said for you? john, you had the last rites said foryou? they didn't know what was wrong and they says, "we'll give you last rites." there was no point in the last rites at that point. jean, didyou see that white light that everybody talks about? -n o. i refused to i ook. that's great! i don't wanna see the white i i ght! who wants to see the light? -right? who knows if it's ever gonna stop? i know we can make it - i know that we can - i know darn wel i we can work it out - -oh, yes, we can, i know we can can yes, we can can - why can't we ifwe wanna yes, we can can - bob was ready to throw out "yes, we can can. " but the chorus spent the easter break getting their heads round all the "cans "... and now it's back in with a chance. you missed a verse. -you know what? i wanna end it there. i t's getti ng way too long. okay. can't we just go there and end it there? -no, i'd do it twice. oh, yes, we can, i know we can can - yes, we can can - why can't we if we wanna yes, we can can -- over the years, they've toured all over the world... even sung to the king and queen of norway. -but this will be, in every sense, their toughes t audience yet. before we join them on the bus... bob 's assis tant diane tells me she wants to say a word to the chorus first. she asks us to wait outside. bob salvi ni died last ni ght. -it was quite sudden. yesterday afternoon, he was practicing his song... and he was looking forward to seeing bob cilman today... to practice it some more. but... he gave out... and we go on. i know that this is a difficult thing to hear... as you're pulling yourselves together... to go and do a performance. for all of us. -we gotta press on... in spite of it... and, uh, keep him in our memory. yeah. that's that's- that's the, uh, road we travel... -i'm afraid. good morning. good morning and welcome. and, uh, a very, very warm and enthusiastic welcome to the young at heart chorus- now, before they've barely had time to absorb the shock... they have to face an audience and perform. -let's have a very warm, enthusiastic welcome to the young a t heart. thank you very m uch. thanks for, uh... ietti ng us come and do some songs for you. u h, hope you enjoy them. -you can't start a fire - you can't start a fire without a spark - this gun's for hire - even ifwe're just dancing in the dark - i get up in the evenin' - -and i ain't got nothin' to say - i come home in the morning- i go to bed feeling the same way - i ain't nothing but tired - man, i'm just tired and bored with myself- -hey, there, baby - i could use just a little help - you can't start a fire - you can't start a fire without a spark - this gun's for hire - -even ifwe'rejust dancing in the dark-- wel i, i i guess the other question is... how do you not do it? you know, how can you not... out of respect for him, respect for the situation- i mean, people are expecting you to perform. -and, you know... i think you really have to go on. we've had to do this a lot. i mean, there have been many times... when the chorus had to perform... right after finding out that somebody else had died. and i think, uh- -i think it's really helpful... to have everybody together at that moment and to sing. one ofour chorus members died today. his name was bob salvini. he was a wonderful guy, and, uh, this is for him. "forever young. " -may god bless and keep you always - may your wishes all come true - mayyou always do for others - and let others do foryou - may you bui id a ladder to the stars - -and cl i m b on every rung - may you stay - foreveryoung - forever young - foreveryoung - -mayyou stay - foreveryoung - may your hands be always busy - may your feet be always swift - mayyou build a strong foundation - -when the winds of changes shift - may your heart always be joyous - and your song always be sung - mayyou stay - foreveryoung - -forever young - forever young - mayyou stay - yeah! all right! -i would like to say that... this is the best performance i ever seen in my life. fantastic. fantastic. lot of spirit in these folks. you're in my heart forever. -you're in my heart forever. thankyou. thankyou. above all, perhaps, to the man most immediately affected by his loss. you get what you want not what you need - -when you feel so ti red but you can't sleep - i t was just a shock because i knew he was ill, very ill... but i didn't realize it was that bad. and i just- my son came up that night and he said... "what's the matter, dad? -you seem strange." i guess i was just moved by the fact that... this man that i was going to be doing a duet with... um, passed away. i always think that people who have been with the chorus are with us. you know, i think about the people who aren't here anymore... and i think that in some ways, we always think about them. but this is quite immediate, so- -lights will guide you home - and ignite your bones - do you feel maybe you shouldn 't? not a bit. no. -i ' m sti i i ready to go to the concert, because that's- when bob fi rst asked me, this is what it was to be. and i 'm-i 'm pleased to do so. but doyou want to do it? sure. -i n fact, i wanna dedicate this song... to bob salvini. today is lenny's... please. 86th birthday! happy birthday to you - -h appy bi rthday- - lenny told me he 's too old to like birthdays anymore... but i can 't help thinking that right now... he looks less like 86 and more like about 1 0. t o you -- - t o m e -- thank you al i! -thank you. thank you. thank you. happy bi rthday. lenny, you're being attacked by women. -i t's a i ittle dark i n here. i'm gonna- just give me a second, yeah? i 'l i give you whatever you want, dear. thereyou go. what an offer! -yes! that's got lenny excited. oh, you al ready said- that's enough " happy bi rthdays." so what's the problem with birthdays then? nothi ng, except when you reach this level of age... you fi gure you don't need to celebrate anymore. -after experiencing breathing problems... joe went to see his doctoryesterday. he was told that his white blood cell count... had sunk to dangerously low levels... making him extremely vulnerable to infection. given his history of cancer... he 's been brought to hospital for an immediate blood transfusion. so what happens i f there's some extra blood? -where does that go? does it come out here or what? no, no. i t doesn't? you just call me. -i 'm right here. any itching, chills, okay? ifyou're not feeling good, youjust let me know. okay. i'll be checkingyour blood pressure in another 1 5 minutes. -a t the back ofyour mind, are you worried about whether... the cancer might be coming back? n ot real ly. i t doesn't bother me a bit. i 've forgotten about it. i 'm just happy... to be up and around and doing some singing. -that's that's what my life is now. you know, singing. helping my son and the family, you know. i don't think about it at all. -don't bother me one bit. the lord knows how long you're gonna be here, right? you can push it a little bit, but, uh... your time is pretty well marked. but i don't feel that it's here yet, not for a long time. i'm not worried about it at all. -did i convince you? joe went through six bouts ofchemotherapy... enough, according to his doctors, to kill most people. but in all that time, he barely missed a single show. you gonna keep on singing? i thi nk that's the key. -keep on si ngl ng, goi ng to these countries. and the people appreciate you so m uch... it kinda gives you an uplift, you know. makes you feel great, you know. i love it... especially when you go out on stage there. they start clapping and everything else. -oh, god. that's really something. here we go. one more time, ed. i gotta get through a lot here. -ofall the songs, "schizophrenia"seems to have made the biggest leap forward... almost unrecognizable from what it was just six weeks ago. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah - ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah - it is great! it's great. -it's our song, right? it's the kind of song we need to make us- "pow," you know, with the audience. that's us. that's us, baby. -that's us. you got it. when i hold you in my arms - after more than 1 5 rehearsals... stan is still stuck on the same two lines. -what, do you want me to put more oom ph i nto it? wel i, just yeah. al i right. like you know it. -right now, it looks like you're thinking about it. okay. okay. it's just two lines. yeah. -and the more energy you put into it, the better. i know i won't do you no harm - right. yeah. yeah. -i'm nervous about it. you're nervous? why? huh? well,just the, uh just the impending performance. -oh. but i'll get over that. don't worry about that. no, i get it. how are ya? -yeah. h ow i s h ow's your breathi ng? not not that great. -yeah. yeah, it's not very good. so what you need to do, j oe, is stay home tomorrow. yeah. and, uh- -i was afraid to tell you that. no, don't be afraid. we just- i didn't thinkyou'd like it. no, no, i don't mind at all. -you do the best you can, you know? the only thing we care about,joe, is you getting better. yeah, well, me too. and that's all. i wanna be around for another 1 0 years anyway. -i know. i know. we got, uh- we got- we gotta cross the seas pretty soon, so we need you healthy for that. yeah. -all right? i realize that. yeah. so do whatever you need to do to take care ofyourself. i will. -all right. thankyou. okay. we'll talk to you later. adios, amigo. -adios to you too. take care. bye-bye. but nothing will s top fred from going ahead... despite the fact his doctor gave him just two years to live... after his last heart attack... a deadline that ran out four months ago. you don't get out of this world al ive, that's for dam n sure. -but this, it doesn't bother me. i 've already written my eulogy in poetry form. "ifyou're hearing this now, you'll know that... "i have gone to that development office in the sky. "but don't feel bad. -i've had a good life. "i had a wonderful family and a wonderful wife. "and then, of course, there have been all you folks. "you've abided my kidding, you've laughed at my jokes. "you've heard them all, even my little dog rover. -you've heard them all over and over." that's already been written, my eulogy... at the end ofwhich, by the way, my nephew- we were always kidding him about being out of the will. at the end ofwhich i say, "and if i go either to hell or heaven... make sure terry gets $1.87." now you can tell by the way i use my walk - -i'm a woman's man no time for talk - music loud and women warm - i 've been kicked around since i was born - but it's all right it's okay - you can look the other way - -we can try to understand - the new york times ' effect on man - whetheryou're a brother or whetheryou're a mother - you're stayi ng al ive stayi ng al ive - see the city breaki ng and everybody shaki ng - -we're stayi ng al ive stayi ng alive - life's going nowhere - somebody help me - somebody help me, yeah - life's going nowhere - -somebody help me - yeah - i 'm staying alive - i'm keen to see how he's getting on with "life during wartime "... before the chorus 's final rehearsal this afternoon. but the latest news on his singing partnerjoe isn 't good... and it's now almost certain he won 't be well enough to make the show. -i understand he, uh- he's back- he's got pneumonia, and, uh... that's something you don't, uh, push off. you know, that can be disastrous. i'm hoping that he's got a strong enough immune system to offset it. that's right. -that's right. we're gonna miss him. well, let's hope he's gonna be well enough to actually be there. yes. okay. -do you wanna put it up? h uh? yeah. okay. there we go. -she tells him that joe died early this morning. last night, he checked himself into hospital with breathing problems. his worst fears had been realized. the cancer had come back and had entered his blood. he diedjus t a week after bob salvini. -i t's been seven hours - and 1 5 days - - si nce you took your love away - - love away - i go out every night - -and sleep all day - - si nce you took your love away - - love away - since you've been gone - i can do whatever i want - -i can see whomever i choose - i can eat my dinner - in a fancy restaurant - but nothing - i said nothing can take away these blues - 'cause nothing compares -com pares - nothing compares to you -- h e was just the most sweetest guy. he never had a bad word to say about anybody. he made you happy. -there's gonna be a giant hole here. i don't know- there's nobody ever gonna fill that. n-not well. after the initial shock and sadness... we sort of got together and decided... that we would go on with the show. -but we've all said that about ourselves. i've always said... "if i collapse on the stage, just drag me off and continue with the show... because i'm only one person." no, it's not difficult for me, um... because i knew hi m so wel i... that he would want it to go on. you know, he would definitely want it to go on. -absolutely positive. and i would- if anything happened to me... i wouldn't want everybody to fall apart and say, "oh, we can't go on." um, i'd expect them to go on, because i always tell people- foryears, i've told 'em -i said... "when i pass on, i shan't go out ofyour life. "i shall be sitting up on a rainbow... "looking down watching you.

-doug. my name is jack faro, and i am a professional poker player. now, i do some other stuff, but poker, that's the thing i do best. my grandpa was also a poker player. he built a casino called the rabbit's foot, and now i own it. -but this story isn't about me. it's not about me and my grandpa. if it was, it would be called me and my grandpa, and it's not called that. that's a stupid name. it's the story of six people playing in a poker tournament, six people who think they've got the game figured out. -motherfuck- the way i see it, poker's like some kind of cosmic metaphor. now, don't fade out on me, here. it's like even though the cards fall in a random order that you can't possibly predict, you can still beat 'em. that's not true for a lot of other things. -in or out? in or out? isn't there a time limit on this? come on. the twist is that the six of us, we're playing for $10 million, winner takes all. -so no matter how much all of us believe that we can make our own fate, the truth is that only one of us is going to win, luck and skill be damned. that's why this story is called luck and skill be damned. sorry. wait a second. -it's not called that. it it's called the grand. hi, i'm picking up jack faro. i'm renee jensen. -i called. right. um, i just need you to sign some paperwork, just releases acknowledging his medical history and addictions. so which ones are his? those are all his. -god. just sign at the bottom. he's not going to piss blood in the limo, is he? probably not. yeah, he's in and out so many times, it just made more sense for him to, you know, move in and make this his home. -ugh, that's disgusting. you must be thrilled to be getting rid of him. no, actually, i'm not. i i love jack. -um, actually, could you, uh- could you just give me a second to talk to jack? um, i'll just- i'll just take a minute. ** how's my favorite patient doing? hello, dr. sellers. -how are you? i'm good. hey, before you talk, i just wanted to, um... play a song i wrote for you. you wrote a song for me? yeah. -yeah, i'd i'd love it. sit here. you wrote me a song. * twelve steps * -* twelve steps * * only got 11 more * it's a work in progress. it's really beautiful. and you know, i always say it's progress, not perfection. -if you can smoke it or drink it or inject it or snort it, i've done it. whoa! and that really affects the mental faculties. welcome to the rabbit's foot hotel, the finest place to- casino and the- the fine- i've been married, uh... approximately 74 times. -seems like a lot, but i loved every one of them. i make it a point to know my employees, just like grandpa lucky did. i want to make a point to know this one for sure. uh, hey... toni. -how how long you been working here? nine years. ah. we were married, jack. -i'm still waiting outside. hi. renee jensen. oh, hi. your ride's here. -are you with- steve lavisch? steve lavisch. yes, i am. okay. -i'm ready to pick you up if you're ready. yeah, i just okay. i actually wanted to talk to you- okay. ... for a second about that. -could you give us one second, please? just one second. um, what i - what i came in here to talk to you about was in terms of your feeling like you should stay or you should go, it's probably important that you stay here. jack, i don't like to do this, but, you know, i don't want you- don't go. wow. -i have to go now. i've been here for two years. i know, but i think- i think you should stay for a little- a little while longer. i'm going to call you, okay? okay. -we should talk today, though. i'll call you later. yeah. or i'll call you. well, i mean, this whole rabbit's foot thing, -i gotta i gotta shoulder some of the blame on this, maybe a lot of the blame. okay, now, what you're experiencing here is the real deal. this is the hub of the wheel, the headquarters, the main office... of the rabbit's foot, pretty much unchanged from when lucky was here. quite frankly, at times i was my own worst enemy, and i didn't do a good job running it. -i wasn't a good steward. yes, i did get thrown out of my own casino. i'm not sure how exactly that happened, but they do say that i gave the order. so when i was, shall we say, down and out, i made an unfortunate deal with steve lavisch. -he took advantage for 6 or 7 million of a bridge loan. if i don't pay it back, i lose the rabbit's foot. i don't know if i could bear that. welcome back to the naipl tournament of champions. brought to you by partypoker. net. -i'm phil gordon. and i'm mike werbe. and we're here at the final table with heads-up action between two of poker's greatest minds. harold melvin and daniel negreanu, two guys who did not ride the short bus to school. i only called 2,000 more for a pot of 22,000. -i'm getting 11 to 1, so no matter what i have, i call. even if i have deuce-seven and you have pocket aces, that's still the mathematically correct play. you should have gone all in three hours ago when your stack still meant something. some harsh comments from the chip leader. okay. -here, beat that. let's take a peek at the river. terrible catch for daniel negreanu. harold makes the straight. i was a 2-to-1 underdog, and the pot paid me 11 to 1. -not a bad risk-return ratio. you play poorly. harold can't cook. and he's very particular about what he eats, you know? please tell me this is not gravy. -oh, you know it's not gravy. it's mushroom barley soup- your favorite, honey. it's so stupid that you don't use more efficient cooking utensils. i've lived with my mother since i was born. i live with her because it is convenient and because it is difficult for me to take care of myself. -i'll probably be stuck with her for the rest of my life. or the rest of her life because she's much older than me. she will die first. ruth, if i were a food critic, i would give your cooking five stars- five stars that if each collapsed into a black hole and merged to form the largest black hole in the universe. -if i won this tournament, i would buy a real house with secret rooms and shifting mirrored passageways and a garden labyrinth, all of which would serve to disorient ruth and make it more difficult for her to find me. the kitchen is such a mess. i gotta clean it up later. we used to have a maid. -she lasted two weeks. harold couldn't tolerate her. i have pet peeves. i hate stinks. i hate breath stink, i hate body stink, -i hate pee stink, like from when you take a lot of supplements or vitamins, which i take a lot of those, so my urine smells very bad. now, all this stuff is brain food for him. i don't know what the fuck anything is, but i do exactly what he wants me to do. one thing i would like to talk about is the mentats from the motion picture dune. i like the mentats because they're the human computers. -the mentat oath is the following: it is by will alone i set my mind in motion. it is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. it is by will alone i set my mind in motion. i say the mentat oath before i drink my brain juice... because it makes me feel like a mentat. -hi, lois. i'll play in the ladies' tournament. if those fucktards want to make it easy for me, fine. you know, poker's been, like, awesome because we've- it's been very good. -it's been very good to us. yes, yeah. i know it's- it's hard, but it's- it can be hard. yeah, it's something. -it's hard on the kids and on fred, i think. i'm at home now with the kids. yeah. i'm not a stay-at-home husband. i'm a husband who's home right now. -yeah, i support her, and the time's gonna come- i mean, the perfect example is, um... is my fantasy football league, you know, my yahoo fantasy football league... and i know, you hear "fantasy football league-" but this is, you know, an expert - an expert football league. and the draft is the day of the final table, so that's- -i mean, we're going to have to work something out on that. somebody's gotta watch the kids. yeah, that's what i mean. i gotta find out- you know, i gotta- maybe claude, maybe somebody. -i don't know. i could bring not claude. all right, well, we gotta find something. this is -this is- yeah, this is- i mean, this is my- this is my thing. this is your thing, this is my thing. but just- and i totally support you on it, but just- i could win $10 million that day. -and does fantasy football pay? yeah, it pays, uh, something different than money is what it pays. it pays, you know, m- yes, it pays. does it pay money? no, it doesn't pay money. -right, okay, a little in the- and you're good. go go see what your sister's doing. ah, that's what i do. i -yeah. didn't know you were coming up here. i make up these little handshakes for the kids. hey, i figured out a good- here's a good husband-wife one, okay? all right, so you just wanna- you just wanna, "hey- -actually, it's only been- it's been the last couple of years i've been coming up with these things. and and, i- actually, i'll show you... -i'll explain this whole thing to you. let me show you this. this is, uh- this is my lucky hat. and this is the hat that i- i'm a lightning survivor. -my husband fred was hit by lightning, and he will be happy to tell you all about it. november 15, 2003. and you know what happened after that was- this left side of my brain, something with the lightning, it just opened it up. and tell you about his sayings that he comes up with and his round beach towel idea. i come up with little sayings. -you know, lainie came in second in the tournament a couple months ago, and the announcer said, "it's like kissing your sister. " right away, i thought, you know, it's like peeing in your wetsuit. i guess it changed his life. i said, "give me a cup o' joe, "but i wanna say hello to the milkman and i'm takin' it up the beanstalk. " -which... is just this way of saying decaf coffee, "i want a cup o' joe. " "i want to say hello to the milkman" means i want to go to bed early because the milkman comes ear- i want to say hello to- say hello to him... even though- even though there's no milkman anymore. there's a lot- a lot going on with fred. -"takin' it up the beanstalk. " give me a large and bring it up the beanstalk. i'm delivering it. i'm bringing it to the giant. "takin' it up the beanstalk. " -i know it can sound a little like a bad sexual thing, but- okay, but lean back. lean back and then i'll- i don't feel like fucking doing a handshake right now. just lean back a little! -jesus. just lean back a little. fred's a really smart guy. and i wish he'd, like, move on to something... besides fantasy football. you know, something more... real. -this is only gonna take a second, so- great, because i really gotta get home. i hear ya. i hear ya. take two steps back. -there. good, good. okay. jesus. they're called lainie and larry schwartzman. -they're the david and goliath of poker. brother and sister, identical twins, they're winning both halves of the long island tournament. by winning this tournament, you both qualify for the grand championship of poker. you've been eliminated by lainie two out of the past four years. any comments on that? -what's my style of play like? well, i think it's aggressive. ha! aha! aha! -aha! aha! aha! i know that some people consider it obnoxious, but i consider that a strength. * for he's a jolly good fellow * -i try to get people off their game, which is just as much of a game as reading people and knowing the numbers. what do you think of that, dumbbell? that's the real dumbbell over there to your left. hey, now, dumbbell, i'm trying to be nice to this idiot. -i like to consider myself a predator at the tables. so it would kind of make sense that i would study predators. i think if you watch me, if you study me, you'll see a lot of cat-like qualities. raaahhh! raise. -and i can psyche the shit out of people. i don't need cards to beat you. i could literally have no cards and i would still beat you. if you think that's not playing fairly or that's not the way a gentleman plays... uh... i would fight you over that. -you are the worst card dealer ever! you should burn in hell! competition is healthy. it's only competition that breeds winners. idiot! -a buffoon! a lunatic! it was very, very competitive growing up in our family, yeah. it was brutal. my dad made us compete for everything. -an incompetent, insufferable asshole! you know, maybe you get some hurt feelings. maybe you get some, uh- you know, maybe somebody goes to bed hungry that week. you know, it doesn't matter. fucking idiot! -still got more cards! done! you don't get to choose your cards and you don't get to choose your family, so you just make the best of it. well, jack, this should be an interesting challenge for you. mr. lavisch is not the kind of man who considers requests. -right. just giving you a word of advice. you want to wait over here for me, please? okay. all right. -good luck. mr. lavisch. renee. yes. hello. -do you see the plans? do you see the blueprints? yeah, those are- are those the new- well, why aren't you wearing your helmet? this is a construction site, really, technically. -safety first, of course. thank you. so, what's up? jack faro is here for your appointment. jack faro... -jack faro? mm-hmm. from the rabbit's foot. uh, do i know a jack faro? yes. -jeff! no, jack. jeff faro. jack. you sent me to pick him up from rehab? -you scheduled a- not jeff? jack. definitely jack. i really don't have time right now. i mean -okay, i've got five minutes. perfect, that's all we need. let's go talk to him. we have to go there? i haven't got time for that. -it would take us five minutes just go down to the car. there's jack. he's just right there. that's him. oh, that jeff. -jack. jack. let's get it over with. right this way. it's rabbit's foot, jack faro. -right, right, right. dick. jack. good to see you. hello. -how are you? good. good to see you. good to see you. oh, that's renee. -how are you? how's everything going? what do you think? oh. yeah. -isn't it pretty? isn't that something? it's very nice. guess how many rooms. don't. -take a wild guess how many rooms. 3,000 or- i knew you'd be wrong. it's one room. one... -one room. one million dollars a night. that's what one lavisch plaza is all about. well, now, seems like it would be at least two rooms. no, no, no. -see, because the air shaft between the two towers, you're renting that, too. so that's all part of your room. the walls are just - that's a formality. right. see, my theory is that most very wealthy men started life as lonely little boys, so this would be very nostalgic for them. -i myself despise nostalgia because... it's so old. one lavisch plaza. so what can i do for you? uh, so, you know, the deal that we made, i was wondering if maybe- -it's no problem to pay you back, but if i could have a little extension... i think you're doing exactly the right thing. get out of the business now. you don't need it. who needs the headaches? -who needs the teamsters and the towels and- and- you're right. hi, renee. how are you? hello, mr. lavisch. -and i think you're a very smart man for walking away- no, no. you know, and i don't think i made myself clear there. i wasn't being, um- so i want to keep the rabbit's foot. -it's what it's my dream and my passion, and i think i have to- as i listen to you, it occurs to me that maybe you are requesting something of me, and you should know that i- i never answer requests in the positive. it's just- it's not what i do. -i did tell him that. i'm more of- hello, renee. hello, mr. lavisch. of more of a negative- how much more time do we have? -uh, ten seconds. mm-hmm. y you know- and done. -good to see you, jack. you're looking really well. you lay off those vitamins, now. don't forget your hat. bring my helmet, will you, please? -i'm sorry. i told you. i apologize. good luck. here you are, mr. lavisch. -careful... around the plants! the faro family, yeah, they had the monopoly on downtown. and somehow, when poor jack got a hold of it, you see what's happened. would you stay across the street? -here you go, brian. buy yourself a couple of hookers. hey, deuce fairbanks! deuce! you know what -oh! what's wrong with you, jack-off? hey, deuce? yeah. you're washed up! -suck my cock! the downfall of las vegas was the day they let people wear culottes into the casinos. culottes. you never heard of culottes? they're not a -they're not a short, they're not a pant. i don't know what the fuck they are. will you take a look at all of this crap? buried underneath all of this is a history. a history of las vegas. -it's the place where moe dalitz opened up his first burlesque club, the place where you can find a 13-year-old in a whorehouse if that was your pleasure. it was a place where the jews and the blacks had to enter the casinos from rear entrances. by the way, on this corner right here, i stabbed a bum. hey, hey, speak with me, guys. -hi. hi. welcome to the golden nugget. hi. thank you very much. -fred marsh, checking in. fred marsh. yeah. this is nice. yeah, it's great. -right. um, i don't have a fred marsh. is it under another name, sir? uh... try schwartzman, fred schwartzman. schwartzman? -yeah, it's marsh. it's mar we should probably change that, all right? because it's- it's lainie schwartzman. oh, here you are, mr. schwartzman. -right here. no, it's marsh. can we change it? why don't we change it? it's fine. -yeah. i'm going to get phone calls- all right, and, uh... internet? there's internet? -spa tower suite? yes, there is internet. okay, thank you. because i get that thing. all right. -yeah, okay. hold on. where's ellen? enjoy your stay here. thank you very much. -where's ellen? hey, you guys- where's ellen? and who- this- who are you? -holden. holden, where's- holden- oh, she's over there. she's over there by the fish. holden, where are your parents? -they're going gambling. see, this kid is- holden's not ours. okay, we're going to get the- we're going to get ellen. holden, where are your parents? ellen! -honey, you come with me. let's find your parents. i told you we should get the kid leash. you think it's cruel. it's not cruel. -what's cruel is our kid is on the strip right now. welcome to the golden nugget. thank you. name, please? the german. -the... german? yes. oh, i have you right here. credit card, please. -thank you. could i have some extra hand lotion up in my room? uh, we'll see. i'm sorry, sir, but we don't allow animals here at the hotel. they won't be here for long. -most people drink coffee, but i think it's some sort of beverage of the cowards. to feel alive and to get this energy, it is essential for me to... to kill something each day. it doesn't have to be a large animal. i squish an ant once in a while. or spiders. -they come very easily. i've shot stray dogs. goose is a very, very troublesome animal. i've had a goat. to strangle a goat, that makes you feel really alive. -i've gambled all over the world, literally everywhere. i remember once in the gobi desert i had to gamble for a last gallon of water, and that meant two days of life. i gambled with yak bones against local tribesmen. and once, i was doing russian roulette with slave traders. -when i gamble, i'm like a cello player. it's just, uh... just something very soft inside of me. deuce is going to be here in the tournament. he and lucky and me, we were the real good friends in the olden days. i mean, we were battling. -we were battling against each other. and he is a bastard, but he's a glorious bastard. the german? i love the german. he lights up a room. -the german? well, he's a good egg. me and him and deuce ran together back in the early days. lucky faro, he was a fiend, a monster. and yet, against my better judgment, i loved him. -we even tried to murder each other at some point. i had a lot of fun in that joint. the rabbit's foot. it was old las vegas. not like it is now. -he was a throwback. and i loved him. i think when i look back at him, i still feel like strangling the bastard once in a while, but he's dead and i think he dwells in the heaven of the gamblers. when old lucky died, he left the rabbit's foot to jack. -it was the last and the worst bet he ever made. you know, i love lucky. and i love the rabbit's foot and everything he's created, but i wanted to just- i wanted to go, you know, to the next level. i wanted to expand. my greatest achievement of all time. -i built this casino based on the concept of the chicago fires, 1895. and it was on fire, constantly on fire. and then we'd have fire trucks come and put it out. of course, it burned down. whoop. -this, i think, was a great idea, too. inside this particular casino, you actually have a nuclear reactor that took care of all the energetic needs of the casinos, and... and that didn't get past the planning commission. i like this one, too. it's called hector's frozen cart. now, i'm going to be candid with you and let you know that i don't know what i was thinking when i came up with this particular design, but i was under the influence of cocaine and heroine -and marijuana and lsd and mushrooms and some ecstasy, and you know how sometimes you get that cocktail just right, and then there's just- boom! well, i sold off the tv rights to the grand because i'm positive that three years from now, nobody is going to be that interested in poker or watching it on television, but they will be watching bingo. you mark my words. bingo is the future. welcome to beautiful downtown las vegas. -tonight, the north american indoor poker league takes you to the dazzling golden nugget, the host of the grand, the oldest and most prestigious poker competition on the planet. brought to you by these promotional partners. i'm phil gordon, and joining me in the booth is mike werbe. and i'm mike werbe. and welcome to day 1 of the grand. -we have all the top players in the worldin this tournament today. all the stars are here. all the stars in a little galaxy i like to call poker. lady schwartzman. all right. -one of the biggest stories this year is the dominant presence of internet players. many of our entrants won their way in online. harold melvin, my son. that's right, phil. you know, internet poker has its own breed of celebrities. -for example, there's a player on partypoker named "pocket aces," and people are speculating maybe he's one of the pros. yeah, i've heard about the guy on partypoker. the pocket aces guy, yeah. phil laak. -phil laak, the hillside strangler. no, no. the unabomber. yeah, that's the nickname. just give me the sheet. -rumor has it there's a player out in the circuit known as pocket aces. are you pocket aces? let me tell you how the internet screwed up poker, okay? when a guy sucks out on the river, on the internet, you cannot take the guy out in the parking lot, and you cannot break his fucking knees. this is it. -you know what? i don't want to wear a tie. oh, stop, stop. stop. it looks good. -it looks good. here, hold this. let me just get it- all right, come on. let's check it out. okay. -oh, i need my basket. oh, just in time. yeah. andy andrews. of course. -andy, you are at table 1. what is my lucky number? well, it's so cold outside and snowy, and i think the temperature in las vegas right now is- what was it, honey cake? i think it's 91. -oh, my gosh! i teach math at saint thaddeus', and it's, uh... it's a nice job. and i think that you're- i think what you do... i don't want to talk about that. -no. then i'll- please let me talk about it. please let me talk about it. sharon has - and i don't know. -what do you do? do you wake up one day and say, "i would like to sew ribbons"? um, okay, so this is my ribbon room. i have my own business called the ribbon store, and this is it. these ribbons, actually, you can use for knitting, too. -i've knit some really- some really nice sweater vests out of some of these. so i'm online, and i'm- i wasn't home. and i'm hunting and pecking for fireplace pokers, and i- antique fireplace pokers. yeah, and i land on this thing called partypoker. net. -and i don't know where i am. and i'm trying to get out, and i'm typing in my name. and all of a sudden here. and pretty soon, i'm playing! -and i won. i won a seat. i won the tournament, and i won a seat at the grand. but if we win, then... then... -but if we- trying to get him to think more positive can you imagine? $10 million, and we'll be warm. because that's what- because you promised. -that's what sharon wants. you promised that we would move somewhere warm. well, i was thinking of maybe making one of these vests for andy out of... ribbons. you know, sometimes i walk in here and i... i look at all this stuff, and there's so much stuff in here, and it- it really stresses me out. -i got this blowtorch as a wedding gift to make crème brûlées with, and i just think, like... i could totally set this place on fire. whoa. okay. shuffle up and deal. -well, i guess one of the biggest things that happened today is when jack faro walked in. he's one of the few players that i actually like. i mean, especially back in the day, we- doesn't matter. oh, yeah, yeah. -jack faro? yeah, he walked in. now, i'd like to talk to somebody about the legality of that, because i don't know if that's kosher. i mean, that may fly in, like, communist china or feudal russia, but this is america. jack faro, very good. -he throws tournament, he throws the grand. very good, very good. that i respect. then he comes in to play in his own tournament. this is like if i give you a goat, and i killed and i eat the goat, -i have given you shit. i don't i got- i mean, what would- honestly, what would you do? because it's a good hand, but i've heard sometimes you don't call. -what are you doing? you can't show me your hand. you show one, show all. you gotta show everybody your hand now, please. i knew you only had one pair. -your bet on the river was as transparent as a cloaked romulan bird of prey. this tournament is different. there's money only for the winner. the winner takes all, and that appeals to me. i just want to see all the others crushed and disappear and crumble. -i want to win. it's apparent that you have no concept of pot odds. there are a number of books available in the gift shop that explain it quite thoroughly. also, you have corn in your teeth. i can squish you. -you know what i mean? goddamn, this is fun, man. i believe in luck. i know that because i've had so much bad luck in my life is probably why i'm so damn lucky at cards. luck is a crutch. -good move. where'd you learn that, playing on your television set? i think i'm lucky, but i'm very skillful. if people played correctly, i would win every single hand ever. -nut straight. motherf- people misplay. and then they end up with what i like to call good fortune. so it's not about luck. -i'm gonna go all in. oh, and since you like my hat so much, i'll just put that in there, too. well, with respect, fuck you. take it, take it, take it. -thank you. i wouldn't have wanted to lose that hat. where are you from, exactly? your country. why do you need to know? -i mean, is everybody miserable like you? why are you miserable? let me ask you a question. jewish? jewish? -no, i'm not jewish. i mean, i have a lot of guilt and- yet another player thrown off my achmed's unknown ethnicity. he's from the middle east, but is he arab, is he israeli? well, no one knows, mike, and that's the point. -i think he's a jew. have you seen that episode of star trek where the guy's painted half black, half white? don't think i've caught that one. yeah, me either, but, um... but i heard it's good. i'm sure it is. -deuce fairbanks, one of the legends of the game. i'll tell you, mike, he is not at all intimidated by some of these younger players. and he's not intimidated. i got two pair with a san francisco busboy, a queen with a trey. san francisco? -busboy? queen? what are you, a fuckin' idiot? you should've hit the slot machines, jack-off. god, you're a bigger dick than i am. -i'm mike "the bike," mike "the bike" heslov. my name's murph murph. tim "tiny wonder. " we're the bust-you crew. yeah, you know, we've played together for so long that we got a lot of shorthand. -you know, it's like when you got a- sitting pretty on a jim j. bullock and somebody adrian zmeds you on the river. brutal beat. yeah. yeah, we're kinda known for making a lot of crazy bets. if you're gonna be a really good player, you gotta basically be a gambler. -i drank a quart of semen once. mm. it was bull semen, though, right? no, it was human. it wasn't a bet, either. -yeah, that was- that wasn't a bet. yeah, i just did that. right. all in. i'll call. -shit. 5s. 7s. let me give you a bit of advice, mikey. if you don't see a sucker sitting around this table, you're it. -what do they call that crew? the bust-you crew, is that it? bunch of sissies. i wish they would have pulled that shit in the old days. we'd have dug a little hole for them out in the desert, teach them a trick or two. -let me see? oh, yeah, i'll take it. my name is seth schwartzman. i'm semi-retired. and both my kids are top professional poker players. -ugh. uh, wai- what's going on with- what happened? i heard a slogan when i was young, and i forgot who said it, but the slogan was "competition breeds winners. " and i always thought that that was correct, that that was a good slogan. -one time, he told us that he was going to disney world, but he'd only bring one of the kids with him. i could take one of my kids to disney world, and i had what i called the world series of checkers. they were going to play seven checker games. the winner was going to go to disney world. and, um... it didn't go well for larry. -i didn't leave larry alone for three days. he had- the dog was there the whole time. he had birds in the house. he had the turtle. the kid you see today, the determined kid, the kid that's going to win at any cost, that's the kid that i saw when i came back from disney world. -whether it was chutes and ladders or freeze tag or- monopoly, we played clue- wiffle ball or kerplunk! or- parcheesi, we played checkers, and we played chess. -i'd give him yahtzee. otherwise, i had to hear him cry himself to sleep every night. i let her beat me a lot of the time. i mean, she's my sister. there was a time, you know, when we thought... -she had cancer, you know? and it turned out just to be a bad haircut. i rocked candyland. he never once beat me at candyland. nobody beats me at candyland. -ask my kids. i think if you tell one kid that you don't love him as much, believe me, that kid is gonna try harder. we're seeing some great action, phil. that's right, mike, but not a lot of surprises. almost all of the top players are still in it. -i need to ask you to remove the glasses. no, no, no. no. they're prescription. you can keep those. -jack? shirley. oh, my god, i haven't seen you since the divorce. andy andrews in a pot against two of the top pros in the game, doyle brunson and phil hellmuth. -i'm all in. and doyle's moving all in. all in. 60,000. i'm going all in. 70,000. -wow. andy in a very interesting spot here. i can't believe i'm in a hand with tex brunson. the name's doyle, andy. not tex, doyle. -what? yeah. seriously, doyle? yes, serious. well, that's a tell. -that's probably a tell. no, it's a tell when you don't know who doyle brunson is. okay. i'm gonna go... all right, okay. -i'll go all in. i'm gonna- i'll bet everything. somewhat loose call all in here with a straight flush draw. the amateur taking a chance to triple up. straight flush draw. -the turn card. no help for andy. here comes the river. oh, it's a miracle card for andy! he catches a flush. -doyle brunson and phil hellmuth are eliminated on the same hand. you made a flush. you won, andy. it doesn't look like andy knows that he won. good job. -i'm sorry. good job. oh, gosh. that's so bad manners that i laughed. don't be sorry. -no, it's- good hand! that was absolutely astonishing, phil. it was, especially considering the fact that andy andrews has never played in a live poker tournament in his life. but you know, on the other hand, it's not that surprising. -oh, and how is it not surprising? well, here's a guy, he's done the legwork, he's done the homework, he's using the werbe method, he's reading my book winning is winning. how do you know he read your book? well, i've got an extremely strong hunch that he's taken a look at chapter 3, "creating a fictional persona. " -hey, marshall, um... guys, can we get a cut? i just need a minute. what? mike, you can't go pimping your product right in the middle of our broadcast. -it's so inappropriate. phil, i was just stating a fact. and what fact is that? it's a fact that - that he might have read my book. i'm a top-ranked poker player. -i've broken the top 500 on a number of occasions. but not only that, i am an award-winning guru. every time you play a hand of poker, you want to run through a mental checklist. "head position, hand position, neck position, breathing, posture. " more than 25 items. -it's a lot. and that's why i've come up with a handy mnemonic device. just one word: "hphpnpbpecmspamdcpaftsttl. " it's easy. -i've got a couple books out, the first being- well, my tour de force- winning is winning. i got a follow-up book that's hot off the presses, winning is really winning. there's also a number of products. they're available at thewerbemethod. com and you can take that to the bank. -playing high-stakes poker, the last thing you want to do is worry about what to wear. face it, putting together an attractive outfit takes time. i call it the werbe onesie. at first glance, it's a casual ensemble. but on closer inspection, it's a single item of clothing. -one of the more popular chapters is something called "creating a fictional persona. " basically, it means pretending you're someone that you're not. you know, like, uh, a caveman. anything to throw off your opponent. at this point, i'd say upwards of 10% of the players out there are creating a fictional persona. -i saw a- a native american gentleman, and... you know, it was seamless. hello, andy andrews. oh, how- oh! you know- how do you do? -you know my name. i don't know yours. i'm andy andrews. i'm harold melvin. i was impressed by your play against hellmuth and brunson. -really? how come? when you had the straight flush draw, you were over 46.2% even though they both flopped sets. from an expected value perspective against two opponents, it was a skillful play. no, i'm just- i'm lucky. -you know what i love? i love it when you get a heart flush because - and i hate clubs. don't you hate clubs? they're, like, dirty. hi. -who are you talking to? how do you do? i'm andy andrews. i'm number 1 right now. how do you do? -i'm harold's mother ruth. oh! it's a pleasure to meet you. it's a pleasure to meet you. thank you very much. -another pro. ruth, i am having an adult conversation. you two have so much in common. i'm having an adult conversation. he's just brilliant. -he is. you could learn so much from him. really? like what? well, he has a lot of wonderful tricks- one in particular. -his first two cards, when they match in color, you know? and it's one number after another sure. well, he plays them and wins! cease, ruth. -well, you do! maintain a perimeter, ruth. well, you two should have lunch. i think that you look good together. exit, ruth. -i'll see you later. i apologize for her presence. oh, no. she's lovely. i'd -i'd love to have- i actually can't have lunch. i can have dinner sometime. it might be pleasant to discuss strategy in a quiet social setting. we could use our vouchers at the same restaurant at the same time and sit at the same table. -i like chinese. people? he has good moments where he tries to be kind and considerate. he does. and with his syndrome, that's difficult to think of other people, you know? -ruth is always trying to get me to make more friends, and i guess i can see the logic in that because in the same way that a herd of antelope protect each other, in a certain way there's safety in numbers. harold's not like other people. and when he was a little boy, i took him to doctor after doctor after doctor, and they all said the same thing... that there's something wrong with him. ooh. -oh. that's your name, fifth down. i know, there's a lot of names on the board. it can get confusing. renee. -right? yeah. from a couple days ago? yeah. when i picked you up? -we spent a good 45 minutes in the car together. oh, that was lovely. how are you? i'm great. so lavisch is prepared to offer you a little bit of a deal, so- -did you do something to your hair? no. what did you do to your hair? nothing. it's the same. -it's exactly the same, all right? he's just he's willing to offer you a little cash in exchange for the hotel. please don't touch me. oh. -is that a natural curl? it's enhanced with a curling iron slightly, but i do have a natural wave. are you interested? it's a one-time offer. well- so- -if i get to keep the hotel, then we got a deal. jack, why would he give you the hotel and give you a cash settlement? because he's a nice guy. uh, he's not a nice guy, and i don't recommend you screwing with him. okay. -well, i am a nice guy. tell him to go fuck himself. please. and then, after that, let's you and i go get us something to, um, drink. not gonna happen. -ever. i'm gonna stop you from eating too much salad. we gotta get the strip steak because they said the strip steak, that's why everybody comes here. i think maybe i'll stick to seafood tonight. why would you have fish in a steak restaurant? -you can get whatever you want. would you go to a seafood restaurant and have a steak? yeah, maybe, if i wanted a steak. you would? yeah, i would. -all right, all right. well, you would, but i wouldn't. excuse me, mr. schwartzman? i, um i'm sorry to interrupt you, but would you mind removing your hat while dining- -i can't. i'm contractually obligated to wear the hat, so i can't. you gotta wear your hat in a restaurant? that's part of your contract? yes, i have to wear my hat in a restaurant. -i'm sorry. okay. all right, fine. here, how's this? all right? -that certainly helps everybody enjoy their meal if they can see my head. or at least be assured that part of my head here- listen, miss, can we order? we've been waiting here for a long time. sure. -all right? first of all, take the wine. nobody's gonna have wine. we're gonna have four people, family style- why don't we order- let me order family style. -fred, let me order family style. i found out what's good here. we're gonna start out with the portabello mushrooms for four people. we'll get potatoes- then we're gonna have- wait a second, fred. -i just want some scalloped potatoes- yeah. we're gonna have the salad, the chopped salad for four people. we'll have two fillets, two strips, everything medium rare- yeah, i -i'll have the chicken. you want chicken? so one less steak. you don't want to try the steak? i'm going to eat chicken, dad. -all right, she wants chicken. scalloped potatoes if you could write that down. i'm gonna get to the scalloped potatoes. first, we want asparagus. asparagus. -right. and i- uh, change one of those steaks- oh, look at this, another country heard from. what do you want now, larry? um, can you change one of the steaks- -i don't care which one- to the sake tuna, sake-glazed tuna? you can't have tuna. you can have a steak. i know what i want to eat, okay? no tuna. -three steaks, she can have chicken, he wants scalloped potatoes. you got everything else? how come- we don't need the scalloped potatoes. forget about that. -okay? why don't you wrap his steak up? he'll take it with him. no, no. that's all right. -wrap the steak up for him so he'll take it with him. all right? okay? it's an excellent steak. tell the chef. -and bring me the check. wow. you don't have to do that. i got something very exciting to talk to you two about. i've been meeting with the president of peter pan poker network. -he wants to do a site, a lainie and larry site, where you two are going to have your own poker site as soon as you can get rid of i can't believe it's poker. "icantbelieveiget toplaypokerdotcom" the word... right. whatever. ... "triple seven" the number, dot net. there were some other names -i think would have been my first choice, but um... i got into the whole web arena a little late, and- whatever, i'm ready to go. it's not about the name. and we all can be involved in this together... -well, what's the deal? ...as a family. that sounds cool. i got them up to 121/2% each for you. well... -plus a signing bonus. what? it's a great deal. well, i appreciate the effort and the- but that's not a- that's not the best deal. 121/2%? -did you think that was a good deal? he said it was good deal. okay, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. if you think that's a good deal, you don't know the first fucking thing about a website, okay? so don't do it, don't get involved. -this is not for you to do. a daughter... does not talk to her father... like that. dad. dad! -you... said you were going to get the check. i'm gonna go check on the kids. you know what? lainie, we should talk about this, because... take your time. -i'll see you. ... shouldn't it be larryandlainie. com? no, that's not even the point now. i think it is very much the point. it's going to be- it's not even going to happen, this thing, so... -oh. it's day 2 at the grand in las vegas, and the field is narrowing considerably. by the end of the day, we'll be down to our final six players, one of whom will win the $10 million first-place prize. hey, guys. all right. -let's play poker, boys. and lady, let's play some poke ma'am, may i speak to you? i need to speak to you. could you come over here for a minute, please? -bobby, i'm about to- come on. that's improper dress. you're not allowed to wear that. on, no, no, no, no. i know. -i converted to muslam, uh, last night on the- from- there was something on tv. that's all right, but that's a woman's dress, not a man's dress. you have to dress like a man. that's anti-semitic, and that's anti-feminist, and that's racist. and you are going on report. -fine. all right. but guess what. i'm playing this under protest, all right? have you seen me raise with shitty cards? -nope. haven't raised with shitty cards all night. don't ever say shitty, pumpkin. las vegas is a place that has no irony. you just win or you lose. -and you are a giant, or you are a midget. you are just walking away as a dwarf. you are cowed if you are not- if you don't have the guts to win. you are drawing more dead than a rotten corpse that reeks of carrion. that makes no sense. -better get out. yes! you're up against a lot of great players, but... well, i have a sense of purpose about this. quite frankly, i have to win. -ooh, this is a hard one. wait, what happened? good. mommy's about to triple up. yeah, day 2, that was pretty smooth sailing. -i learned that my daughter's really good at math. larry schwartzman still going strong. he's knocked out some of the best players in poker, but now he's up against "sob story" barry blausteen. i'm all in. and blausteen's all in. -schwartzman is counting him down. looks like he's considering a call. did i tell you i couldn't have kids? zero sperm count. doesn't matter anyway. -if those kids were born, they'd die of cancer anyway. everyone in my family died of cancer. my wife's got cancer. blausteen really laying it on thick here. she's got six months to live. -your your wife has six months to live? at the most. that's you went to a bunch of doctors? -you got several opinions? i mean, you're sure that- it's metastasized. it's over. i loved her so much. -did- i don't know- i don't know what i'm going to do without her. wow. this is a very effective performance. he's taken it to a new level, and larry really seems to feel bad for him. -well, wait a second. wait a second. i just realized i don't give a shit. no, wait. okay, i'm all in. -schwartzman didn't fall for it. all right. whaddaya got? he's all out against blausteen. turn 'em over. -it looks like he's going to win this pot. shit! hmm, yeah. doesn't quite beat it, huh? it's all right. -it's all right. now you got more time to play with the kids you're not gonna have. talk about a sob story, barry is out of this tournament. you dropped your, uh, yarmulka. i'll tell you what i think happened, phil. -i think he misread the cards. nah, i doubt it. well, it's a common problem. i talk about it in my book, chapter 9, "knowing your cards. " what do you mean "knowing your cards"? -knowing your cards. there's 52 of them. it's not that easy to remember all of them. werbe tip number 2: know the cards, memorize the cards, every single one of them. -simple, and it's easy, especially with the mike werbe patented flash cards. we're down to two tables now, and andy andrews continuing an improbable run. over at table 5, jack faro has had a tough day. he's trying to hang on to his remaining chips. jack's in the big blind with two callers. -we've got a three-way pot. yes, we do, and jack is gonna be first to bet on this flop. 6 of diamonds, 8 of diamonds, deuce of diamonds. 200. that's 200,000. -it's hard to say what he's got here, mike, but it wouldn't surprise me if jack was just trying to steal this pot. melvin out of the way. the german staring him down. he might be putting jack on a steal here. 200,000 is a very big bet. -and the german does make the call. here comes the turn card. it's the deuce of spades. check. jack checks and the german checks behind him. -and here's the river. the river's the 9 of diamonds. if jack was slow playing now, he'll definitely make a bet. i'm all in. indeed, that's a very big bet, mike. -i have no idea what's going on here. jack faro's tournament life at stake. the way he's played this hand, i'm putting him either on the nuts or a stone-cold bluff. i call. -call. and the german calls. let's see 'em. well... any diamond will make a flush. -you might wet your lederhosen on this one, deutsch-boy. and indeed, a king high flush for jack faro. that's a fantastic hand, nearly unbeatable. only one out for the german, only one way to win this pot. king high flush. -the german exposes a card. that's no good. he's gonna need the ace of diamonds or jack faro will- aw! the ace of diamonds! -winner. jack faro is out of this tournament. he's cheating. there's no way he had that ace of diamonds pre-flop. he only called. -you are a crazy person. i think i pulled the ace of diamonds. this pot is mine. i don't know how you did it, but you gave yourself the ace of diamonds when the fourth diamond came on the river. the last 764 times, you've hit ace-jack pre-flop, you raised with it. -that is a fact. this time you only called. you are a very predictable player. security! wow. -what an incredible turn of events. have you ever seen anything like that, phil? well, it's really rare to see a player accused of cheating at the table. it certainly doesn't happen very often. well, you know what they say. -"it ain't cheating if you don't get caught," right? meanwhile, the question on everyone's mind is this: who will be our sixth player at the final table? will the german be disqualified for cheating? and if so, what happens to jack faro? -** hey. hey, freddy. seth. i think lainie and i should clear the air here a little bit. -yeah. yeah, well, it's 11:30. lainie's asleep. yeah. oh, is she asleep already? -yeah, yeah. let me come in and say hello to the kids. i haven't seen the kids since they've been here. well- seth, come here. -come here. i just want to talk to you for one second. i just want to- first of all... i see what's happening here. i see things. -i want to give you some money. i want to- you know, i see the deal- you're coming up with an idea for the deal. i understand where that's coming from, and i just- don't take this as a- you want to give me money? -i do. where are you going to get the money from, your wife? no, this has nothing to do with- the money you're gonna give me you're gonna get from her? i'm not gonna get any money from her. -this has nothing to do with her and her- so why are you going to give me money for? did i ask you for money? no, no, no. and that's what i'm trying to say. -don't get offended- i'm not a pauper. i don't sell peanuts in the park. i don't need your money, freddy. this is what i respect about you. -i knew you would react this way, but don't react this way. don't react this way. don't pee in your own wetsuit. that's what i gotta say to you. don't pee in my own wetsuit? -it's a saying- what does that mean? it loosely implies right here, this saying, but it's probably not accurate. but forget about it. what are you talking about? i don't need your money. -and i don't like the way your wife talked to me. i don't like how you're talking to me now. i'm not a pauper. i'd like to see the kids before i leave. is that too much? -no, that's not too much. to see the kids before i leave? i'd like to see the kids tomorrow before i leave. okay. this is not an insult. -i'm not insulting you. i'm just i'm just saying don't pee in your wetsuit! you know, i wouldn't mind tasting grass now. you know, just to see if i like it. -maybe make, like, a cappuccino or something. or a latte. the milk probably doesn't foam that well. jack! jack, wake up! -come on! i was talking. okay, i have a confession to make. oh, my god, i feel weird. mm, you know steve lavisch? -of course. he, um he paid the german to take you down. oh. and, um, he's going to take the rabbit's foot and just blow it up. -i'm sorry. i should have told you. you're so sweet to tell me this now. hey, do you think that there's any possibility that- look at me for a second. -what? i want to ask you a question. would you consider- what? ...marrying me? hold on. -hello? yeah. here i'm not here. i'm not here. -he's not coming to the phone. robert thompson tournament. no, does not want to talk to you. okay? you can take your tournament -i want to talk to him. you can shove it in your ass because he doesn't need- gimme. hello? ... to play that stuff! -yeah? what? okay. okay, i'll be right there. what? -what happened? the german, they saw him cheating. they want me back in the tournament. i'm back in. i'm back in. -if i could just clear my head- i don't look like i've been partying, right? no. wish me luck. good luck! -wait, we're still getting married, right? there it is, mike, the dramatic footage, straight from the security cameras. and you can clearly see the german with the ace of diamonds up his sleeve. that's a tough move. i've never gotten away with that one. -well, indeed, the security cameras make it very difficult. more importantly, jack faro takes over for the german and becomes the sixth player seated at our final table. and the rabbit's foot lives to see another day. indeed, it does. meanwhile, the german has lost his tour card and is being escorted out by casino security. -sir, you're going to have to leave right now. i can't find my bunny. munchkin, he's a rabbit, a white rabbit. have you seen munchkin? no, sir. -i can't find my rabbit. hey, munchkin. munchkin! where is my rabbit? wo ist mein hasen? -hey, munchkin? munchkin, munchkin, munchkin, munchkin. excuse me, sir? sir? did you lose a bunny? -oh. this your rabbit? this is service. ah, you found it. yeah. -you found it in the hallway. yeah, she was hopping down the hall. that's so sweet. there she is. well, she's back with you. -you have a good day, sir. yeah. thank you, thank you, thank you. little munchkin. it's the way we greet each other. -such a sweet little- such a sweet little rabbit. yeah, i'm ready to go. yes. it's okay now. munchkin. -yes, i've got you. hey, my little one. maybe two rival sports teams. the yankees and the red sox, for example, or, uh- i don't know the sports teams, but to have them each occupying one of the towers so they're in basically the same room. -sir, you need an appointment. am i wearing my helmet? no, sir, you're not. this is me. maybe you should- -hello, mr. lavisch. jack faro. how are you, son? mr. lavisch, you've underestimated me... because i'm a survivor. and guess what. -the rabbit's foot is going to survive. you are not blowing up the rabbit's foot, not while i'm alive. well, of course you can be there for the demolition. i wouldn't have it any other way. would you like to press the plunger yourself? -i think that would be a brilliant coup, to- can you hear me? hmm? can you hear me? do you- -are you able to hear me? jack, when i was 14 years old, i was stung by a phalanx of portuguese men-of-war. they're not men, they're cowardly, evil fish made of cowardly, evil jelly. i lost all the hearing in this ear and much of the hearing in this ear. -i don't even know what ear i'm pointing to anymore. hey, you know what? that's not going to work. you know why? two rooms. -i should have listened to my uncle phil. he said, "don't go in the water. " you've been eating meat products. portuguese men-of-war love meat products. but i wouldn't listen. -no, i had to go splashing off into- into the brine. brine is just another flavoring. they would've eaten me alive if they c- sir. is it my birthday? -$10,000 million, the largest prize in the history of poker. six men and women, winner takes all. deuce fairbanks, the old timer. this is his fourth visit to the grand. harold melvin, the lonely genius of poker with $1.5 million in chips. -in fourth place, lainie schwartzman, the woman. in third place, larry schwartzman, poker's bad boy. in second place, the sentimental favorite, one-eyed jack faro. in first place, the unknown, -andy andrews. six players, six stories, one winner. shuffling $100,000 blind. shuffle up and deal. holy shit. -are we gonna play or what? ** welcome, everyone, to the final table, and, boy, is this exciting. too exciting, if you ask me. let's get to the action on the felt. -deuce looks like he's debating whether or not to call. he has got to make a choice. all in. call. oh, my god. -aces and jacks will take the pot. and deuce takes the pot. winner. wow! wow! -how did you learn to play poker? by playing darts? i was online looking for a fireplace poker... harold melvin has to play carefully here. he's very short-stacked and he'll have to double up soon. -it is by will alone i set my mind in motion. it is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. it is by will alone i set my mind in motion. is that rush? where's fred? -it's, um it's the night of the draft. the what? fantasy football. it's the night of the draft. -it's, like, a big, big night for him. call. kind of a big night for you, too, isn't it? how does he do it? how does he pick a kicker in the third round? -no, no. no, no. no way. that's not gonna happen. uh-uh. -all right, you ready for this? daddy's working. daddy's working. no, no. hey! -hey! hey, daddy's working. go upstairs. go upstairs. put on a movie. -well, it gives him something to do, you know, when there's- no, but he's got other stuff. it's not just fantasy football. i mean, he's designed a, um- a round beach towel. i know, i hope nobody asks me to invest in that. -i wish i'd had a sister. did you not ever have a sister, or is she still in rehab? what do you mean when- do you mean you lost your sister or- are you talking to me? -no, i'm talking to just behind your glasses. i just have astigmatism. yeah, i'm talking to you. well, i do have astigmatism, so i don't much appreciate you making fun of people with astigmatism. thank you. -does anyone else out there have astigmatism? you insulted half the people in this audience. i'm going to raise and make it 900,000. 750,000. andy andrew is raising to 900,000. -that's a huge raise with the ace-queen. and deuce calls with ace-8 off suit. that's a very risky play. he is really underestimating andy. i'm pulling for you, deuce. -deuce in a tough position here. the flop comes, and it's no help for either player. i'm all in. andy andrews moves all in. i'll call. -i think that's a terrible mistake, mike. that's coming from a different generation. imagine if abe lincoln showed upwith a stove pipe hat. the electric lights alone are gonna throw him off. no 8. -and now the river. andy makes the flush, and deuce fairbanks is the first one eliminated from our final table. deuce fairbanks. thank you, russell. sorry, deuce. -can i stand up? there he goes. this is bullshit. he deserved to lose. he played poorly. -he played terribly. now look at- looks like jack faro's breaking out the eye patch. it's his trademark. that's why they call him one-eyed jack. -well, back to the action, and andy andrews has picked up pocket 8s. he's certainly gonna bet here. i'm going to make it... 650,000. that's an aggressive bet for middle pair. -i like it. back over to jack faro. he's got pocket queens. and for the first time in this tournament, andy andrews is completely dominated. -some people find that arousing. it is a lifestyle choice. 500,000 is the bet. hey, where'd you say that beef jerky museum- and i'll raise it 500. -andy andrews has had a pretty charmed tournament so far, but he may be looking at a little more than he can handle right here. dad, what are you doing here? well, i didn't like they way we left things the last time, and i thought i'd come here and i would clear the air a little bit. you don't have to clear the air with me. i'm not the one that has a problem with you. -well, i had a conversation with fred right at your suite- this isn't about fred. okay? larry's trying to play in the tournament. dad. -call. come on. i am. i'm sorry i yelled at you the other night. two players. -the bet is $1 million. i'm all in. all in. i love it. the only way andy can win this hand is with a runner-runner. -he needs help on the turn and help on the river. i can't wait to see which one plays more poorly. i have a pair of 8s. you have a queen? oh! -i am pretty dead, aren't i? don't look at it that way. look at it as i'm doing damn good. i am pretty dead. you're dead. -i am dead. set of queens. winner, jack faro. jack faro doubles up. he is back in the tournament. -all right, players, that's a 10-minute break. hey, i'm on to you. ooh, that was a tough beat out there. going in with pocket 8s. i know, i know. -i got a bad beat. yeah. please leave me alone, okay? hey, i told you already, i'm on to you, okay? stop it, please. -stop what? i'm on to you. how'd you get all the way to this final table by not knowing what you're doing? it's bullshit, okay? you may be fooling everybody else, but you're not fooling me, all right? -this is my game, pal. stop it. this is my game, chief. don't take out your family problems on me. you got problems with your dad, you got problems with your sister. -i don't have family problems. i teach kids every day, every year. you're a textbook case. grow up. what are you- -just learn to love them. i'm just saying i know. i don't think you're- you think you know everything, but you don't. let's take a look at our leaderboard. -jack has a commanding lead right now with 5.3 million in chips. larry's right behind him, andy and lainie are pretty close together, and harold is bringing up the rear with 870,000. are you okay? small, big, 100, 200, please. -yeah, i am. looks like jack's in a little bit of trouble here. larry with the best hand, a pair of queens. call. and jack making the bet, looking for an ace. -a club comes on the turn, increasing his chances to 32%, but larry is still in control. 600,000. big bet from larry schwartzman. call. and a call from jack faro. -jack needs an ace, a 5, or a club. and a club on the river gives jack faro the best hand. disaster card for larry schwartzman. the pot is very big here. it's going to be very difficult for larry to lay this hand down. -tough spot for larry, but he's definitely a good enough player to lay it down. all in. all in. but he goes all in. this is an immediate call from jack faro. -jack does have the nut flush. queen, 7, 8, 6, nut flush. winner. big hand for larry schwartzman. and larry schwartzman will be eliminated from this final table. -gee, that was fun. aw, man. this was a lot of fun, you know that? yeah. you did good. -played the best i could. thought i did a pretty good job. gambled. that's why they call it gambling. and, uh, it's not- it's not the most important thing. -and my sister's still in it. she's gonna kick ass. you played good. dad, he caught a runner-runner flush. what the hell am i supposed to do? -yeah, what do you mean? why are you knocking yourself out? that's what happened. you had the best hand, he got lucky. you played good. -yeah, i mean, that's what i'm saying. i mean i mean- that's what happens. it's a stupid game. -sometimes people get lucky, they win, they shouldn't even be in the hand. to me, that's not how a good player plays. i know, that was ridiculous. i totally could've taken that. yeah, you win that hand, you're gonna go on, you're gonna go all the way. -that's my opinion. the name of the game, i guess. poker. that's what the say. that's the name of the game. -poker. yeah. is that fresh fruit? yeah, yeah, it's- do you want any? it's fresh? -well, i mean- it looks old. it's i mean, it's been here for a while. i didn't have no lunch. oh, well, take it. -it's free, you know, so i know that'll- here, i'll give you a boat. yeah, give me one. all right. what could that jerk call you when he got nothing? -i mean, yeah. i mean, i should've gone- that's honeydew. i want the cantaloupe. oh, i'm sorry. -that watermelon looks good in the back there. oh, yeah, yeah. remember, your mother used to love watermelon? yeah. she could eat a whole watermelon by herself. -she did a bunch, didn't she? yeah, remember that? all right, thank you, larry. you played good. don't knock yourself out. -well, thanks. this looks old. i'm not gonna eat this, larry. it looks old. it's not your fault. -i'm not saying all right, well, don't eat it, then. i'll get you a sandwich. i'll get you a sandwich. yeah, yeah, let's get a sandwich. -four players remaining, and harold melvin is still hanging in there. he takes a nice-sized pot from lainie schwartzman, who has quietly built up her stack. that adds 500,000 to harold's chips. you're building his stack. yeah, i guess i just put that little brainiac fucker back in the game. -you have the vocabulary of a drunken spice miner and the hairstyle of an arrakean whore. oh, man, that's really gonna set me back, harold. you know, it's interesting that he brings it up, because i was once with an arrakean whore. you know, i'm not really sure- no, no, i'm serious, and the weird thing was, she had a penis. -mike, arrakean whores are from the book dune. well, that's not what she said. science fiction. i miss your brother. i got to know him a little bit. -we chatted. i miss him, too. i don't miss him. me, neither. just 'cause he's out, let's not make him into a good guy all of a sudden. -no player's been more charmed than andy andrews here at the grand. every single time he's needed the miracle card, it seems to be right there for him. he's been the chip leader pretty much the entire way, and it looks like his streak of luck continues. he's pulled a monster hand: pocket queens. -i will make it 800,000. raising to 800,000. that's a very nice-sized raise. jack faro, looking at the king-jack of clubs, will call. just the two of you now. -tough break for andy. king on the flop gives jack the top pair, pair of kings. i'll check. checking. let's see, now. -all in. all in. why not? i call. call. -let's see 'em. he's got you covered. this is a real setback for andy andrews. he's called off all his chips with pocket queens, and finds himself just 13% to win. pocket queens. -king-jack. a queen would be good. another king. holy... jack on the turn. -no help for andy andrews. he needs one of the two remaining queens in the deck. he's been lucky the whole time. he could pull the miracle card. can he do it? -can he pull that queen? a queen would be good. ooh, six of spades. it's the end of the rainbow for this cinderella story. andy andrews. -that's right, andy andrews. shit. good game, andy. thank you. you played well. -no, i didn't. that was a terrible move. i know. we'll get a bite and talk about it, huh? i would like that. -me, too. i had the best hand, and i... i played it exactly how an amateur would. harold melvin's in a very difficult situation here. he is severely short-stacked. -he's picked up a pair of tens to jack's ace-king. he needs the action. this is his only way back into contention. here's the flop. king-4-4. -it's absolutely terrible for harold. jack's now a 92% favorite to win. all in. harold hung in there all day, but i don't see how he can escape this one. this guy has nine lives. -60. pot's right. let's see 'em. harold, all in. pocket tens. -big slick, ace-king. holy shit. and here's the turn. it's the jack of hearts. that's no help to harold. -he still needs a ten, or he's gonna be eliminated in third place. an ace on the river gives jack faro two pair, aces and kings. harold melvin has been eliminated. good game. you played well. -you, too. i came into the table at a tremendous chip disadvantage. i played as well as i could, but the odds were against me from the beginning. are we done? harold. -we're down to heads-up action between lainie schwartzman and jack faro. the winner of this tournament will take home $10 million, and the money's out on the table. think about what this buys, phil. that's three luxury homes, that's 10 or 15 sports cars, that's countless items of jewelry. -and how many speedboats? speedboats. um, that would, uh- it would depend on the speedboat. a $500,000 speedboat. -do the math. you can probably do it on the back of an envelope. off the top of your head. it's, uh- that's it's 11. -20. the answer is 20. well, maybe i was thinking of a different kind of speedboat. or maybe you're just a fucking idiot. pressure. -a lot of pressure, jack. sure is. and we're heads up. lainie with a slight chip lead. she's been quietly building that stack all day. -6-8 of hearts. a playable hand here for jack. yeah. looks like he's going to call. action on lainie. -i'll raise. raising. and she's gonna raise. 1.2 million more. 1.2 million more. -2.4 speedboats. there it is. call. jack makes the call. and now the all-important flop. -7, 6, 4 on the flop for lainie. she has an open-ended straight draw. she needs a 3 or an 8 to make the straight. 2 million to bet. $2 million. -jack with the best hand. a pair of 6s. all in. that's 2 million, and he goes all in. great read from jack faro. -i'm gonna call. and lainie will make the call. holy shit-fuckers. jack is 66% to win. what are you gonna do with the money, jack? -i'm gonna save the rabbit's foot. i kind of think my grandpa would've appreciated it. what about you? i've got five babies to put through college. wow. -yeah. so this oughta do it for 'em. and, uh, you know... fred has some good ideas. that's your lucky husband. -my very lucky husband. if lainie wins, she's the champion. fuck. i need some fucking cards, man. let's see 'em. -holy shit. open ended straight draw, up and down. 4, 5, 6, 7. he's got a pair of 6s, with a gutshot straight draw. gonna need a 3. -i need an ace. ace. come on. an 8. ace. -lainie is the grand champion. ace on the river. aw, shit! oh, shit. you take this now. -it brought me luck. it'll bring you luck. it'll bring you fucking luck, jack. yeah, i'm gonna need it. what? -no. no, you didn't. yes! no, you didn't! yes, i did! -you didn't! yes, i did! i did it! son of a bitch! no! -no! shh! shh! don't wake up the kids. what'd you do? -i did it. i swear. okay. you gotta bend back when you do that. you gotta bend back. -okay, i'll bend back. oh, man. i don't believe it. i know. i know. -oh, god, i wish i came. i should've saw it. no, no, no. you were here. how did your night go? -hey, did you get manning? i did. i got manning. you did? yeah. -this is unbelievable. it's like - you won 10 million, i got manning. it's like a $20 million night. i know. oh, god. -oh, god. oh, god. grandpa. are you are you- -yeah, jack. are you warm in that coat? no, i'm a ghost. oh. so -because we didn't bury you in that. i just wondered, did you get to pick your own outfit? jack, i'm not here to give you a fucking seminar on the hereafter. i'm here to talk about the rabbit's foot and you. yeah, i'm sorry, grandpa. -i just fucked that up. now, you listen to me. i started this because i liked it. i liked kneecapin' people. i liked cheating 'em, i liked taking their money and watching their dreams swirl down the toilet. -deuce and i are like that. you're not like that. you just do it because you think you have to. well, that's a waste of time. go live your life. -want to shut up? i'm trying to take a leak. what about your legacy, grandpa? aw, i don't care about that anymore. i'm dead. -you can dig up my corpse and piss on it for all i care. maybe you fags should get a room. you ever had your ass kicked by a ghost, cocksucker? grandpa! grandpa? -jack grew up in this business. jack knows what he's getting into. and if he would've won, he would've been a hero. the rabbit's foot would've survived. i don't know. -now they're doing something else with it, i guess. but it's like everything else, you know? one of these days they'll blow that up, too. mr. lavisch. renee. -first of all, let me apologize, uh, for calling you a ridiculous, pathetic excuse for a human being. i would humbly ask you to consider letting me back on to the lavisch team. you know what the problem is? it's really two rooms, isn't it? it is. -it's not one room, it's two rooms. yeah. that's really what it is. it's two rather than one. at first it's hard to notice. -it takes a while to see it. dad, can i just get my job back? and then we could move on from this. look, two things. first of all, you don't call me dad unless it's thanksgiving or your birthday. -my birthday. i know. what's the second thing? thanksgiving, birthday. that's two. -put on your hard hat. sorry. safety first. i read a book by a guy named werbe who said "change your personality," and i looked at it as that was just one more piece of ammunition i could use that nobody else would know. -we're gonna go undercover to the grand. we're gonna we've never played poker before. we don't know what we're doing. we're so dumb, we're from the midwest. -of course, i've played online. of course, i've sat at my computer. i've won over a million dollars online. and it worked. i come in pretending not to know anything. -i'm this guy andy andy, and i take out phil hellmuth and doyle brunson. all right, i didn't win, but jeez, it was great. i lost. i came in third. ruth disappeared one day, and i thought that she had been abducted or murdered, but then she called and said that she had moved. -frank werbe has theories that suggest mental impairment, so, not surprisingly, ruth made a poor choice in running away with him. i am alone in my condominium now, which is neither good nor bad. it is simply the present reality. things are good. -things are really good. believe it or not, i still play a lot of poker, but i- not as competitively. i've been teaching poker to american indians, trying to get them in it. my sister. and, you know, i've actually been spending a lot of time with lainie and fred and the kids and hanging out with them, and, you know, i've started seeing this woman twice a week, -and she's awesome. um, it was something i never really thought i'd be into, the idea of going to a professional, you know, prostitute, but... it's good. it's worked out for me, and bought my dad a ranch-style dressing factory that he always- he's always loved ranch dressing, and... you know, i got him one of those. and, uh, it's in sri lanka. -when i won the grand, it was awesome, and i felt, like, a little bit bad for jack. i don't know why. i wish i- i felt bad for larry, i felt bad for jack, but, um... it was fucking great. -that little girl is tough. she, um... she got the ace on the river twice against me. the second time, of course, being the most devastating since it put me out of the tournament. well, fred and i talked about it, and we decided to invest in the rabbit's foot. -although i think, um, fred wants to change the name to the lightning strike, but we're working it out with the lawyers, though. so the rabbit's foot will go on. it's not gonna get torn down. it's gonna be here forever. -i do think that there's such a thing as fate and there's such a thing as luck and there's some big, giant chasm of disparity between the two, and i now have come to believe that there are no accidents, and things happen according to a reason, some big mystical plan. new york, new york? oh, that's original. i can go to the east coast and experience that any old time. -or you've got the eiffel tower. oh! oh, now, let me see. where have i seen that before? and you have the, uh, oh, the pyramid. -uh, great, you know. triangle. i also tried before that to get at least nine hours of sleep, and also- also, i pay a prostitute to do sex with me. and that's how i prepare for a tournament. can i get a, uh- what do you want? -um, whatever, you know? i mean, you're buying, right? oh, wait, i'm buying. i'm buying. give me a stuttering transvestite. -i'll have a... just a beer, whatever beer. baby's coffin for him, and i'll just have a beer. let's get a hideous canadian, and i'll have a beer. just a whatever. what's that? -what's a hideous canadian? i don't know, it's like butterscotch schnapps and some other crap. no, you know, i don't like ranch dressing. i never did like ranch dressing. i enjoy russian dressing. -what would be an example of one of the questions i might ask you in an interview? well, how did when did you start playing poker? mm-hmm. -when did you start playing poker? renee. yeah. no, i'm just saying i don't like the name. the body of the goose flips around, and you hold the neck, and you twist the neck, and it kills them. -but what happened to me is that it didn't kill the goose. it just dislocated my wrist. so that was bad. are there any other questions that they ask in interviews? um... -are you telling me you don't have questions? well, i'm just asking whether there are other questions. yeah, they've got other questions. what would they be? any examples? -um, who your favorite players are- and who are your favorite players? barry blaustein. mr. blaustein. by the way, my mom has cancer. -you know, it's a point of pride to me that nobody ever committed suicide in the rabbit's foot. no, it doesn't mean that. no, it's 'cause i'm a giant. it's 'cause i'm going up the beanstalk 'cause that's where giants live. yeah, well, i'm married. -i'm married and i have five kids, all right? from what fred tells me about the meetings, everybody just sits around and tells their story, and every story ends the same way. they get struck by lightning. he's like a savant. we kind of call him the savant. -he can't do math in life, only, like, at a poker table. he can figure out the odds, like- like right now, what are the odds? that's the pot, that's the bet. what's the odds? -8. that's correct. no, no, that's exactly right. well, this is a pretty important tournament. um, who are some of the other players? -who are other players in the tournament? see you tomorrow. see you tomorrow. in that case, i'll touch base with you later. ok. -say... this guy at the supplier's gotten a bit angry... could you..? want me to take over..? i'm amemiya. -i'll be taking handling this call. what'cha looking at? nothing... wonder what's going on with these two? the boss and amemiya? -they split up..? i wonder..? well, i'm off. well, if a man and woman are apart for three years maybe they can't pickup from where they left off? well, in those three years... -we've been together, separated yet, we're still together after going through so much. or rather said, you weren't very dependable, were you? as that may be, anyways, we're the only ones that know that those two used to live together. for now, ? -.

are you a little badass? what was that about my laptop? morning. what happened to claire? -i don't know what happened to claire, or what you think i did. all i did was go to her and ask her to leave you alone. you went to see her? yeah, i wanted to see what she was like. what you're still in love with after all these years. -you paid her not to see me. it's in the past. hey, ellie, how much? i don't know. how much? -a lot. for her it was a lot. what'd she do? she asked me to double it. so i did. -then she told me to keep it. you should've married her. yeah? agent atkins is here. it's mail. -it was sent to your family, care of the fbi. it's been coming in the past few days. it's safe. safe? no bombs, anthrax, et cetera. -there was a grenade, but it was a dud. we're investigating that. we're at 2700 pieces here. what do these people want? they're reaching out to your family. -wishing leopold a speedy return home. well, that's nice. yeah. some of it's not as well-intentioned. what? -i think he's referring to people who think we deserve what we got. yeah. yeah. the general consensus is very positive. roughly 3 to 1 . -i also need you to sign this receipt for the money that was in some of the letters. people sent money? yeah, _473.50. who sent 50 cents? i don't know, ma'am. -maybe they think all our money got blown up. okay. sorry about the laptop comment. i had you pegged for a theorist. i was all broken up about it. -say, " cheese." now, let's find out who you are. oh, goody. oh, we're gonna talk? no syringe? -no dental tools? a blowtorch? where's leopold cain? first thing they taught us in tunisia was how to be raped. where's leopold? -look at you. zipping right past the big picture, going for the kid. i can help you. i can help you. let's make a deal. -you wanna make a deal? just call me monty hall. they already blew up _40 million killed four of their own, by my count. why would they deal for you? money's not what makes this thing tick. -and the people who were expended were expendable. you see, downstairs, upstairs. you for leo. even swap. leo? -sounds like a personal attachment. the deal? no deal. i'm not gonna trade a mickey mantle rookie for a derek jeter. you have a low opinion of yourself. -a good soldier does. is that what you are? a soldier? you betcha. i said i would make a deal, but i won't deal for the kid. -then for who? say, " cheese." let's take it down. if you do, the girl dies. what girl? -no, the caller didn't identify. okay. all right. ella? you're not smiling. -i can tell. is everything all right? i'm just eating lunch. i lust got your text message. text message? -to call you. hold on a second. she leaves the park, she's dead. sweetie, did you lust start lunch? yeah. -i need you to stay right where you are. sure. why? i'm gonna come see you. i want you to promise no matter what, you won't move. -dad, is everything all right? yeah, yeah, i'll tell you. i'm on my way. don't move, sweetie. don't move. -all right. hey, andy, switch cell phones with me, would you? there's a live video feed on my phone. i need you to trace it. now, also, forward all my calls to your phone. -what's wrong? everything. hey. where's the fire? what? -" promise me you're not gonna move"? i just wanted to see you. is everything all right? i saw you on tv. you looked good. -thank you. i remember, when i was little really little, and you'd be on a case and mom would let me stay up late to watch the news so i could see you. how's trish? you're distracted. i'm sorry. -is everything okay? it's work. i've been following the case. everybody has. there's something you're not telling me. -how you doing? i'm good. you seeing anybody? no one worth mentioning. stop. -how's class? crazy. you can't believe the things they say. i pretend i don't know what they're saying. sometimes, i really don't know what they're talking about. -excuse me. king. we tried to trace the feed, but it's scrambled. do they really have a sniper or is this whole thing a bluff? i don't know. -what's the layout? ten thousand possibilities, really. we're moving people in. we'll play it by ear. not-- not too close. -have you told her? i wouldn't. she might panic. yeah, all right. was that about the case? -you know i can't talk about the case. something's going on. something's always going on. tell me more about the class. i should really get back. -no, no. here. just sit with your old man for a few minutes. i don't get to see enough of you these days. what'd you set in motion? -i choose whether she lives or dies. so it's best i'm in a magnanimous mood. who are we talking about here? well, there are a lot of contingencies for this sort of thing. could be ellie cain. -could be miss turner's aunt sadie in blackburn. could be your mother. have you tried calling her lately? she still in that cult? it's disconcerting how some mothers will put religion before their offspring. -but that wasn't religion. what else did kellogg tell you? a lot of very helpful things about you. he tell you that i don't like to be jerked around? try calling your buddy king, see what he's up to. -king. hey. remember the dragon lady from devere's? that would explain it. explain it to me. -you remember how they got virgil. sniper. right. who? hey, i can't talk about that right now. -i'm in washington square park with my daughter. "dear mr. and mrs. cain. we watched the news, and my 1 2-year-old said: 'leo looks smart and brave# you are in our prayers and in our hearts. -oh, and kelly would like to meet leo when he gets back." is there a picture of kelly? that's terrible. hey, leo's a good catch. well, she wants to trade herself for ella. -you're sure it's not a bluff? there's a big difference between a camera and a sniper. you get a visual? i can't get a visual. well, what does your gut tell you? -look, dad, i'm sorry, i really gotta go. you okay? yeah. knapp, it is not a bluff. i'll take care of it. -stay with me, okay? why didn't you tell me? i didn't know it was real. we're gonna be all right, sweetie. we're gonna be okay. -okay? king. we have a problem. you have something i want. i have something you want. -i'd propose a transaction but i know the fbi doesn't negotiate with hostage-takers. well, we can work this out. just let me bring my people in here, all right? you can have a marching band for all i care. make sure they don't get within 50 yards of you or i will turn your daughter into a case study at quantico. -fifty yards. you got it. it's okay. all right, listen up, everyone. we have a 50-yard deadzone. -anyone crosses that threshold, you're a shoe salesman. where's my visual? okay, got it. delta team's broadcasting on 3. no precipitous moves. -get a visual on the sniper. lieutenant. lieutenant, over here. andy archer. son of a bitch. -yeah, that just about sums it up. aviation reports rooftops are clear. observation teams are taking up positions. i need you to make sure no n.y.p.d. personnel enter the park. hey, knapp? -yeah? tell her, in order to negotiate for her release i need authorization from a higher level which i'm getting. he can't do anything on his own. he's speaking to the higher-ups. he's working as fast as he possibly can. -knapp, don't even think about releasing her. this is an fbi negotiation. are we clear? next, he'll wanna offer me a pizza. understood. -understand this: in one hour, her pretty head is gone. you catch that, archer? rules of engagement. if the shooter's threatened, he takes the shot. -the sniper fires. where does that leave you? sacrificed. play for time. you know the drill. -everything goes through my command. i'll get back to you. the fbi won't release you. they will for one of their own. you killed two agents. -then they know i'm not bluffing. i'll release you. i gotta be sure that king and his daughter are safe. they'll be safe when i'm in the wind. knapp. -archer. he kept me talking till he got them in place. well, looks like we're all sacrificed now. i'll take a pine box and a nondenominational preacher. yeah, we see them, andy. -good work. well, tell her we mean business. who do you think means it more? we're using the video feed for scanning the grid. bravo team? -the guy's laser-range finder crapped out on him. i have four assault teams ready to sweep-- no. not until we get a visual. we don't wanna trip over this guy. -have them ready to move as soon as we get the visual. and if we don't? we'll have options for a breach in-- five minutes. it's an open field. -find a way. what choice do we have? okay, now, look, if they can't find the sniper they'll use what's called an extraction rescue. how do they get to us before the sniper shoots? they have a contingency for that. -then why don't they do that? because it's a hail mary. like waco? like ruby rich? listen. -listen to me, listen to me, listen to me. ella, ella, ella. you remember when that dog had you in its sights when you were 1 6? remember that? yeah. -do you remember what i told you? what did i tell you? you told me to turn to one side. don't look at the dog, look down. take a step back-- -and blink. keep blinking. keep blinking. there you go. i thought you were crazy. -but you did it. and that dog went away, right? now, when the time comes, we're gonna be doing the same thing. i'm gonna tell you exactly what to do. and i'll sound crazy, but you will do it. -ella? we will be okay. you understand? we will be okay. okay. -okay. thank you. for what? for getting me that hideous pink tutu i wanted. that must've been a tough call for a single dad. -you loved that tutu. i was not about to teach you to be ashamed. i know i've made a lot of mistakes. the truth is, after your mother passed, i probably should have quit this job. well, don't quit now, okay? -as much as i've always hated your job i was proud of you. my dad's with the fbi. hello? mrs. cain, it's knapp. -i need you to get in touch with virgii for me. how would l--? it's an emergency. i don't have time. all right, i can do that. tell him latimer and ella are in washington square park. -they're pinned down by a sniper. he'll- he'll know what to do. we light this place up. everything we got. -the sniper's eye, ruin his shot. six guys fire smoke grenades from gas guns at these locations. you get a wall of smoke. we got tactical mirrors reflecting light towards. we'll find our most-likely shooter locations. -by that time, we'll have been able to rule out a lot. soon as the wall of smoke goes up, armoured truck shoots in to the bench. doors open, our team jumps out with shields recovers king and the girl. if the sniper returns fire we have three positions returning fire. every one of these distractions there's a lag between setting it off and it affecting the sniper. -smoke and mirrors. it's good. it's not good enough. fifty-yard deadzone means all this is happening outside the perimeter. we need something closer. -where's leopold cain? you could set me on fire, and i still wouldn't tell you. because i don't know. i could tell you a story. yeah? -tell me a story. you thought this was about a ransom. but then the pieces didn't fit. now you think it isn't about money, but you're wrong. it is very much about money. -our civilisation is headed for destruction. we're at the beginning of the biggest extinction-level event since the dinosaurs. we're about to go up in a cloud of bioengineered corporate techno-crud greed. cains, the rands all the rich, corrupt illusionists think that they can convince us that the world will never be different. but you know what? -well, you're not so powerful after all because we have your kid. can you put something in a bottle? something i can give to agent king? a smoke screen? yeah. -just make sure he doesn't drink it. how long? ten minutes. thanks. we should let her go. -the fbi doesn't give in to the demands of hostage-takers. that's policy. policy's cold when it's one of our own. policy's cold no matter who it is. hey, knapp. -how's that promotion coming? tell her, or whoever's watching, i'm bringing them a bottle of water. archer's bringing him water. no. tell her. -all right, hold on. i'm gonna put you on speaker. we are at an impasse, lady. which means i am not in charge and you sure as hell are not in charge. which means i'm gonna go out there and bring these people some water. -tell him to open his shirt. no body armour, no weapons. remind him he's in the line of fire. what is he doing, dad? he's bringing us some water. -i'm not thirsty. do you trust him? dad? aviation's cleared the rooftop. sniper teams are in position. -hrt has an extraction plan. if i'm old enough to get shot at-- we have a good plan, diversions a truck to take you out, and protective gear. what's in the bottle? when it happens, shake and spill. -it'll give you immediate cover. smoke? just let her go. are you gonna sacrifice us? my dad? -after what he's done for the fbi? i'd be doing the same thing. no, i know you. you would find a way. the plan, it'll work. -so, what are they like? the cains. i mean, if i'm gonna die for somebody, i at least wanna know who they are. ella, when the breach happens i'm gonna throw my body in front of you. ella, listen. -fall around the corner of the bench, behind the concrete. understand me? in back of the bench, behind the concrete. that's crazy. didn't i tell you it would be? -you know what i think, vivian? you read my file. i think you just like killing people. i think you're a garden-variety sociopath dressing up your impulse for the cause because you can't stand to see who you really are. i knew girls like you. -bored daughters of industrialists. you sleep with the wrong boy at yale. from there, it's new haven to nigeria a ph.d. in cultural studies and a full working knowledge of an ak-47. but the question, really, is why? my guess is that daddy never gave you enough attention and that you being a lesbian wasn't enough to get him to look up from the financial section. -how many causes have you taken on in an effort to avoid therapy? the problem is you, vivian. no one else. we're running out of time. getting me out of here and keeping miss king alive are the same thing. -all right, we need more time. if i could slow this down or even stop it, who knows what i might do? that's what's so beautiful. once this thing is set in motion, there is no stopping it. there is no room for human error. -if i'm not at my safe location in 1 8 minutes, the bullets fly. you think you're a soldier? you're a kidnapper's housewife cleaning up after him. who says it's a him? you don't wanna die. -i don't think i'm going to paradise, if that's what you mean. i wanna save the planet, i don't wanna leave it. but i'm willing to die for what i believe in if i have to. smoke team, what is your status? ready to go on your command, sir. -rescue team, what is your status? ready, sir. assault team? ten seconds to ready. countersniper team 1 ? -ready to go on command. team 2? ready to go on your command. rescue team, what's our window? we've got a tactical advantage right now. -every minute that passes, the situation changes. this is sniper team 1. nothing yet. this is sniper team 2. we haven't gotten anything either, sir. -copy that. what are they doing? what's going on? come on, andy. you okay? -i'm scared. yeah. that's good. don't you lose that. all right? -me and you, all right? archer, listen to me. gutman cannot turn the sniper off. he shoots at the deadline if she's not in the wind, do you copy? andy? -all teams. all teams, stand by. stand by. one minute, 30 seconds. damn. -give me the toy, slow. you call yourself a sniper? how many others? one. you tell them to stand down. -i do, and they'll fire. he thinks i'm compromised, he'll fire. where is he? i don't know. smoke team, on my command, stand by. -abort. i've got one sniper, but there's another one. who is this? you know exactly who this is. where? -i don't know. could be anywhere. maybe behind them. one minute. stay on this frequency. -hey, campo, give me odds here. what? forty-five seconds, sir. lay down smoke on all sides, adjust on the fly. i'm looking for odds of success. -you want the odds? not good, those are the odds. we're waiting on you, sir. all units, stand down. rescue team, stand down. -i'm releasing gutman. delta team, stay back. she'll be escorted out. i repeat, i'm allowing gutman to leave. we are making this trade. -she killed two of our men. it's my command. i made the call. we'll get her another day. this is in direct violation of every protocol. -this is the protocol for today. andy? just let the bitch go, knapp. you're in charge over there. okay. -we're gonna do the exchange. lower your weapon. let's go. lower your weapon. put your weapon down. -this isn't over. all right, she's in the van. they're headed northbound. gutman is on the move. all right, we're clear. -take it slow. all right, boys, you heard him. swat team, go. go, go. come on, move it! -medical team, take care of agent king's daughter for me. you're all right, miss. you're gonna be okay. van's not moving. it's stopped at the intersection. -we're moving in. stand by. all right, van is clear. cover, cover. move, move. -van's clear. stand down. let's move this van. she's in the sewer. yeah, go, go. -what about gutman? you get her? no. second sniper? not yet. -damn. that was a super-dumb career move you made. could've cost you your job. well, i'm not just the job. thanks. -you're welcome. so, what happened? didn't like my chances. no sign of hayes. we searched. -left the sniper for us to question. said he was hired over the internet. lab just called. dna from the chair, definitely leopold's. was she toying with us? -you think this kidnapping has anything to do with saving the planet? maybe that's her message. what do you mean? maybe everyone involved has their own axe to grind. their own message to deliver. -that's a lot of axes. yeah, but only one wheel. i've never burned money before. me neither. no, you just buy shoes. -my weakness. now, how'd you spot her? i didn't. she spotted me. but you made her? -she got behind me. i'll ignore the impulse. please do. so if she got by me and she got by you, why'd she come back? why did she leave in the first place? -she found the tracker in the book and ran. she knew we were coming. a woman rushes out in an emergency. what makes her come back? wel i? -what? you're kind of like a woman. thank you. so why'd she come back? maybe she left on the iron. -no, the space was compromised. it was expendable. it wasn't the dryer. or the oven. maybe she forgot her purse. -there it is. so you're a sociopathic mercenary. what do you call your purse? whatever it is, it's still there. from my wife. -gurren lagann 32)}kimi wa kikoeru? can you hear? 32)}boku no kono koe ga my voice 32)}yami ni munashiku uselessly 32)}suikomareta swallowed up by the darkness -32)}moshimo sekai ga if this world 32)}imi wo motsuno nara has any meaning 32)}kon na kimochi mo does my feeling like this 32)}muda de wa nai?

three of them jumped me at once! -the one that fell into your village was one of them! there's lots of these things up here? ! the place is crawling with them! glad to hear it! -i hate this! simon? i'm leaving! i'm going back down! i'm going back to our village! -simon! remember? that was just a fluke! then! open the hatch! -you walking faces! and never regrets! never retreat! never look back! male tenacity is all about the never's! -the great kamina of team gurren is gonna take you on! you have been warned! huh? seriously! simon? -we finally made it to the surface. now's the time to cast off the boy you used to be. it's now or never. simon! bro! -i said! sheesh! hello? we're falling. simon? -it's not working! why not? i don't know! bro! simon! -you... save the family squabbles for later! yoko? dayakka! friends of yours? -yeah! concentrate your fire on the one in front! something jumped out! keep your heads down! my gunmen... -it's almost sunset. we're pulling out. you stinking humans! we'll pick this up tomorrow! show no mercy! -fire! hot! you'll rue this day! that's what was inside those things? beastmen. -they're what pilot the gunmen. they show up when the sun rises and leave again when the sun sets. how come? i have no idea! you've been fighting those things your whole life? -that's right! i'll fill you in on all the details later. simon. it's hopeless... i can't do this. -you're always the one who saves it. thanks a lot. my! isn't he? i meant this mecha. -mecha? this one is just my type! leeron? hurry up and help me strip this thing. i'm coming! -hon. looks like. dad. ain't it? isn't it? -and all them itty bitty lights... this place is full of lights even at night. this is way better than the pitch-black nights down in the pit. yep. coming up here was the right call. -the big light is the moon. the "itty bitty" ones are called stars. way back in the past. ain't they? i wonder why they had names? -maybe that means that people in the plast used to look up at the lights in the sky all the time. hon? this mecha is fascinating! but it's packing a lot of power. what're you doing? -running some numbers. are you interested? a machine that makes squiggly lines? you don't know how to read? bro? -nope. what bumpkins... missy. thank you very much! and this one is "moon"! people used to live on the surface. -really? and others say that they didn't. which is it? it's like how i'm both and neither a man and a woman. anyway? -but you can call me ron. if you like. i'd rather die! but ron here knows just about everything. he also handles all of our weapons-related maintenance. -you do that? you find that strange? you might enjoy it. you die. now... there's a favor that i'd like to ask you. -would you mind carrying that for me? but... what do you have there? it's kinda pretty. it works after all! -over here! it responds to male spirit? fascinating... got it? then? you die! -ladies don't care much for men who can't take a joke. i'm really sorry about this. ...and now we're making you carry stuff. it's because resources are scarce. we have to use every scrap we find. what's wrong? -what the hell is that? someone who was killed by gunmen. it's not exactly a rare occurrence. that should do it. we couldn't leave his bones lying there. -pathetic. it's a waste of time to dig graves for people who die out in this empty dump. there's no telling when we'll be the ones lying there. never! our journey will continue until we pierce the heavens! -as far as it takes! huh? this place isn't the happy wonderland you seem to think it is. we ourselves don't live here by choice. you don't? -our littner was once an underground village like yours. and it became uninhabitable. those gunmen were waiting for us. so our only choice is to fight. sounds nice! that's exactly the sort of world i was looking for. -it's no wonder they're exhausted. it's been a day full of firsts for them. gurren lagann gurren lagann kiddo! this is "up"! -this is the surface! there's nothing here... not a thing. that's why i like it. there are no walls and no ceiling. this is truly a man's world. -ready to go? i see... come up and join me. kamina! what the hell? bro! -what was that? ! what just happened? ! good morning. -what the hell was that? ! mornings on the surface start with gunmen. care for some morning coffee? what's that? -dirty water? here comes another one. that's hot! that's... that's pretty rough. there's usually a longer gap between raids. -maybe this is payback for yesterday. we gotta fight 'em! please. can you use a gun? missy! -who the hell do you think i am? bro... you're in lagann. bro. i bet you'd do a better job than... that thing belongs to you. but i'm not... -we're counting on you! don't let them get near the camp! split into two teams and hold them off! your place is over here! this is... -i was up all night polishing it. what do we say? um... thank you. hop in! -give the spin on order to your core drill. what's "spin on"? manly twist! o-okay... uh-oh. -dear? you uppity human filth! we're gonna take out the trash this morning! listen to 'em talk... people. another one's coming? -another? you might want to cover your ears. two... w-what the hell? these tremors! -two... it was them! they caused them! all those earthquakes were their fault! it's because of them that my mom and dad are... -that's a big one... i haven't seen that one before. i like the face on that one. now! what was that? -we lined the top of the cliff with explosives. that worked beautifully. those things are tough! that's fine by me! that thing is giving me chills! -that settles it! i'm gonna take that gunmen! what in the world are you talking about? i'm gonna pilot that thing! hello? -you listening? right? too! i have no idea where his confidence comes from. not words! -i'm a woman! bro! blood brother! what is that guy thinking? it was them! -the tremors they cause up here end up as earthquakes down below! that's what they were! these guys killed my mom and dad! i'm glad to see you worked up! but don't be impatient. -but a cool head! i'm gonna help myself to that pointy one. i'm betting that i can get inside through the face in its belly. i need you to force it open for me. but can you operate it? -how did you know how to operate lagann? it's like the knowledge came flowing into me when i grabbed these. then! it means that fighting spirit is the important thing! i think there might be more than that... just take us in! -i'm not sensing a cool head here! s-sorry! why do i have to keep providing backup for that moron? oopsie daisy! that body gives me chills every time i look at it! -what the...? human! simon! you won't lay a hand on my brother! bro! -i'm taking over. yeah! it's all about the fighting spirit! commander guzack has been killed! stinking humans! -you'll pay for this! you two idiots! how dare you kill squad leader guzack! this is for the commander! bro! -pipsqueak! kamina? let's see some more spirit! you gunmen bastards! who the hell do you think i am? -! runt! who the hell do you think i am" kick! hands off my beloved little brother" punch! simon! -b-bro? sorry 'bout that. got a little held up back there. let's take 'em down together! what? -simon! chew on this! finishing move! perfect combustion of manly souls! cannonball attack! -this is so messed up! ha! you missed! oh? did we? -i guess i have to do it! neener neen... t-they've all been destroyed! talk about overkill... it was pretty cool. huh? -how long have you been standing there? i'm surprised. hijacking a gunmen isn't something that ever occured to us. those two certainly are amusing. bro... -i've decided. i'm naming this gurren. we'll fight our way through! and you in your lagann! dad... -i didn't mean to wake you up from your sleep. okay?

-! having two faces! having two faces! some kids dream of being astronauts. some kids dream of playing baseball. when i was a kid, i had only one dream. -to build a skyscraper. that's stupid. there were some obstacles along the way. but eventually my dream came true. i became an architect. -morning, everyone! so, i had an idea for the atrium. ready? columns. that's stupid. -transcript : raceman subtitles : willow's team i... i can't believe you knocked over my model. -well, it's just... it's not exactly new, is it-- columns? i mean, what's your next groundbreaking idea-- ceilings? floors? windows? -i know what you're thinking: who's this jerk? well, this jerk was hammond druthers, a legend in the architecture community. very big in the '80s. he was also far and away the worst boss i ever had. -then i designed the spokane national bank building. and suddenly... i was his boss. and he didn't like it. stairs? -and to be honest, i wasn't sure i liked it either. see, before, when i was just another employee, i was happy, carefree. the guy who hung out in the break room making fun of the boss. did you see what he was wearing today? -it was like his pants were being held up by his nipples. yeah, and that shirt with the flowers, i get hay fever just looking at it. but suddenly i was a different guy. hey, guys. what's so funny? -nothing. um... nice shirt. thanks. the hours were insane. i was always working even when i wasn't at work. -oh, robin... i just had a great idea. oh, do whatever you want to me just don't wake me up. before, i used to be this guy. dude, of course you should take the day off for the foo fighters concert. -just say you're sick. but now... i was this guy. sick, huh? unbutton your shirt. -hmm... "foo fighters." get back to work. but still, the worst part was druthers. well, i was thinking... ceilings? -oops. said that already. then again, you seem to like rehashing old ideas. i'm kidding, of course. another hole in one, boss. -oh, wow, he must be really good-looking. why would you say that? well, 'cause only good-looking people can get away with saying things like that. i have found that to be true. it's a blessing and a curse really. -ted, you can't let him treat you like that. yeah, you gotta ask yourself, who's the boss? tony. angela. mona. -mona? watch it more closely. rock your world. so, what are you gonna do? well... it's awkward, i mean, the guy used to be my boss. -so, i went to talk to the managing partner. fire him. well, sir, i was thinking he could just be put on a different project. fire him! he's an arrogant, washed-up, pain in the ass. -in fact, fire everyone on that project. druthers, mosby, the whole lot of them. mosby, sir? i, i... i hear mosby's doing some great work. -fine, mosby can stay. but tell him he's on thin ice. come here. i like you, crosby. you mind if i charge my phone? -knock yourself out. well, ted, if you do fire druthers, the key is timing. remember when i had to fire my makeup artist? vicki, um... i'm so sorry about this, but there's been some budget cuts and, um, we have to let you go. -i mean, after tonight. i still need my makeup for the broadcast. so... our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims. you know what? -i'm gonna do it. i'm gonna fire druthers tomorrow. oh, my god! what? do you know about this? -no. what is that? only the greatest thing ever. wait, wait, wait-- that's not enough buildup. if they were to cure cancer tomorrow, this would still be the greatest thing to happen all week. -okay. now you're ready for naked marshall. oh, my god. this is awesome times awesome. it's awesome squared. -i know, right? behind the piano this whole time. wait. if marshall went to all this trouble to hide it, he clearly doesn't want us to find it. oh, come on, robin. -no, i'm saying that he must be really embarrassed by this. we are gonna have so much fun. i know! we're gonna have so much fun! oh, sorry i'm late; -lunch ran a little long. you wanted to see me, mosby? uh, yeah, like four hours ago. well, excuse me, for spending the last four hours drawing designs for your building. this is a cocktail napkin. -covered in profanity. look, hammond, um, there's no easy way to say this, so... why don't we just, um, step into your office. # happy birthday to you # # happy birthday to you # oh, you had me. -you so had me. # happy birthday, dear hammond # # happy birthday to you # so, you didn't fire him? i can't fire a guy on his birthday. -everyone would hate me. besides, they put a party hat on me. my authority was compromised. oh, hey, marshall. have a seat. -i know how much you love stools. thanks. yeah, stools are better for your posture. and, uh... i... got you a rose. -thank you. that's so sweet. you guys are being... so sweet. hey, guys. guess what i got. -a new dart. oh, wow, a new dart. hey, that new dart is great. i did not know you were such a fan of new dart, barney. oh, yes, robin, i just love new dart. -nude art. nude art. nude art. okay, all right, so what, you guys found the painting, huh? i knew this day would come. -how did you know that? because i didn't hide it very well. so the story on the painting is that, back in college, lily wanted to do a nude study for her art class. marshall wasn't so into the idea. -well, i just... don't think that some dude should drop trou just to pose for you. it's for class, and it's just that weird kid hunter from my freshman hall. the frisbee dude with the soul patch? he's like the hottest guy in school! -no, he's actually a little husky... oh, he's just huggable! and complicated... and a little bit of a jerk. just enough so you think maybe you can change him. okay, just forget it. -call me old-fashioned, i just think that i'm the only guy you should see naked. well, then you'll have to do it. are you kidding me? what if somebody sees it? -we're not in high school anymore. people don't make fun of you for posing nude for a painting. we're adults now. we totally saw your butt. this painting has caused too much grief already. -i'm destroying it right now. oh, no, what's the matter, marshall? where is it? i'll tell you where it is if you'll answer these riddles three. you hung it up in the bar, didn't you? -yo, why you gotta ruin my riddles? field trip! oh, no. someone put your painting up behind the bar. classic! -what a memorable prank. hey, marshall. what'll you have? what'll i have? um, i don't know, maybe a beer and that nude painting of me hanging behind the bar! -ooh, i'm sorry, that painting's property of the bar. i know that barney gave you that painting. i don't know what you're talking about. whatever he's paying you, i'll pay you double. i doubt it. -whatever he's paying you, i'll give you that plus ten bucks. i doubt it. all right, you know what, carl, you just lost yourself a regular customer. i doubt it. this painting is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. -okay, where should we put it up next? in his law school? ooh on the side of a bus. oh, oh! how much do billboards cost? -easy, scherbatsky. finesse. i've got a five-year rollout plan. i'll have you know that painting's got commitments all over the city. then, after new york... -one of my worst fears has come true-- i just saw marshall grabbing himself naked. well, i gotta go. believe it or not, i have to go back to the office. oh, i'll go out with you. -bye, guys. you know, i wish everyone didn't have to make fun of that painting. eh, we're not making fun of the painting, we're just making fun of marshall. the painting's actually really great. are you serious? -yeah. well, thank you. you know, seeing it again makes me miss painting nudes. what? paint me. -what? paint me. who's that? who's out there? hammond, is that you? -mosby? druthers and i were alone in the office. if i was gonna fire him, this would be the best chance i'd ever have. uh, look, just a second, ted. uh, no, i, i really need to talk to you. -look, there's no easy way to say... what, what are you doing? what are you doing? i'm standing here wearing pants. are you sleeping here? -what's going on? okay, fine, yes. not that it's any of your business but my wife had a little spat a few weeks ago, and i've been sleeping here until she cools off. okay, well, uh, you're right-- that is none of my business. uh, look, there's no easy way to say this- -i... who am i kidding? she's never gonna take me back. it's okay. what did you want to say to me? -happy birthday, buddy. so, you've been living at the office? yes. i'm an architect without a home. you see the tragic irony in that? -yeah, i do. 'cause i design homes. i see it. but i don't have a home. not lost on me at all. -but i don't understand-- why don't you just go to a hotel? you could be sleeping on a mattress instead of... what appears to be torn-up drawings of my building. why would i go to a hotel, when any second, she's going to call and tell me to come home. she's a very special lady, ted. she's quite... mannish. -she gives me what i need. do you understand that? uh, no, i don't. if you were lost in the wilderness, she can provide for me. well, that's the dream. -i'm glad you came here tonight, ted. me too, hammond. call me ham. no, thanks. hammy d? -no, i think just hammond. so, i'm guessing you didn't fire him. i was this close. meanwhile, lily had been up all night in the grips of a dilemma. oh honey, you're awake? -i'm awake. is everything okay? yeah. i've kind of been wrestling with something. what if i told you i had a way to pay for our honeymoon? -baby, our honeymoon's already paid for. we're going to howe caverns. well yeah, but-- but what if we didn't want to spend our honeymoon in a cave? it's not just a cave, it's a whole labyrinth of caves. it's an underground adventure. -there's a cave that's so dark that you don't even know you're in there. i mean, we're going to experience a whole new kind of dark. well, what if i found a way to make a little extra money so that we spend our honeymoon not in howe caverns, but in scotland? loch ness? yeah. -and you know, edinburgh and the highlands and glasgow... loch ness. nessy. baby, i would love to search for the enchanted creature of the emerald loch, but... we can't afford that. maybe we can. -paint me. okay, i don't get this. you've been making fun of that painting all this time and now you want me to paint you? we knew we could torture marshall because he has shame. i do not. -in my body, where the shame gland should be, there's a second awesome gland. true story. yeah, that's not the gland i'm worried about painting. yeah. a nude barney is a challenge. -but i think you're talented enough to immortalize this. now is the time- i'm 31. i'm at the peak of my physical beauty. if i were a woman, i'd have passed it long, long ago. -long ago. forget it. i promised marshall he was the only guy i would ever see naked. i'll give you $5,000. we're going to loch ness! -yeah! that cabby would not shut up. yeah, we should call him a gabby. i think it, you say it. hey, uh... thanks for putting me up last night, buddy. -give 'em hell. morning, team. so, i have given it some thought, and i say we revisit columns. oh, god, not this again. ted, a man in a toga just arrived and delivered a parchment. -let me read it: oh! it's from ancient greece. they want their basic architectural elements back. geez. -what? you didn't hear me? toga, parchment... can i see you for one second? ooh, i'm in trouble now. -what are you doing? i thought we were friends. you slept on my couch, you ate my cereal. i tossed you more toilet paper. we are friends. -but that doesn't magically make your bad ideas good. what? i don't believe this! you're, you're, you're wearing my clothes! and my girlfriend's... sneakers-- man, you have weirdly small feet. -ted, i hope that you're not going to let our professional woes interfere with our friendship, because i really kind of need you right now. okay, let's get this over with. hey, hey! i don't want you phoning this in. this painting could, someday, become a serious work of art. -i mean, you have been blessed with an amazing gift. thank you. i meant me. now, i like how you captured marshall's essence. goofy and unburdened, with wit. -but me, i want something more regal. something my progeny could look at and say, "there's stands barnabus stinson." he was wise... and strong. i don't think your sword will fit. -i get that a lot. and so, as lily began painting, marshall thought about the $5,000 and what his fiancée was doing to earn it. this isn't right. this isn't right at all. -finally, he could take it no more. hold still. hold still. hold still! paint faster! -okay, i guess it's time. drop your shorts. yeah. wait, wait! that wasn't enough buildup. -i need... in a world without justice, one man-- oh, just drop them! all right. no! -no, this is not right! we had a deal! well, i'm going back on the deal. barney, get out! you...! -it's over! lily, i can't let you go through with this! i found a castle we can stay in, but it's an extra two grand. it's just not right! it's beautiful and they say it's haunted. -i can't let the woman i love compromise her values for money! i totally think we can get some more money out of him. i'm never letting my fiancée, ever...! oh, you're still here? before you say anything, -i'll give you an extra five grand. we accept. you people are so easy to control. dance for me, puppets, dance. and that's how uncle barney paid for lily and marshall's honeymoon. -come on, ted, listen, why don't we get back and finish drawing the plans for a building which, in my opinion, is never going to get built, so you and i can get out of here and grab a couple of beers. no. look, hammond, there's no easy way to say this but... looking for hammond druthers. oh, that's me. -i'm hammond druthers. these are divorce papers. you've been served. oh, god. she's really going through with this. -so that's it. it's over. there is no easy way to say this, but... she's giving me the remains of wolfie? my dog is dead? -oh, my god. i can't believe this. she always played too rough with him. believe me, there is no easy way to say this- # happy birthday to you... # you've got to be kidding me! -guys, you have no idea how much this means to me right now. wait, his birthday was yesterday! yeah, but a bunch of us were up at the conference in montreal, so we thought... no! -no birthday! no! i got something to say and i'm gonna get it out. hammond, listen to me. i am sorry that your dog died, and that your wife is divorcing you and that... your life is falling apart and that these guys missed your birthday. -and there is no easy way to say... what are you doing? what's going on? oh, god... oh, come on, you're not going to pull that, are you? -oh! look, yeah, right. now we're falling onto the ground. well, nice try, but guess what? you're fired! -you're fired-- you get it? you hear me? you're gone! you're fired! in my defense, i think we all suspected hammond might have been faking. -on the plus side, the emts seem to think he's going to be just fine and, as you saw, they did admit that i did not cause the heart attack, even if they said it a bit begrudgingly. and there it was, rock bottom: they all hated me. but just when all seemed lost, i had the greatest idea of my entire career. -margarita fridays-- great idea, boss. okay, it's done. i'm gonna step out, so you can admire it. thank you very much, lily. marshall, do you have the money? -yeah. let's get out of here! a smooth area? ! you gave me the ken doll? -! she left out little barney. barnacle junior. my barnana is... barnito supreme. -i mean, i've been friendly online with zaboo. but nothing you wouldn't say to a coworker you see, like, five to eight, nine hours a day. ugh! i guess online flirtation can be interpreted many ways. especially if you're delusional. -yeah, it was pretty easy to track you down 'cause i'm awesome. address, cell phone records, xanax dosage. i know everything about you. pretty cool, huh? yeah. -no. no. not really. tried to get here before raid time, but the greyhound bus kept stopping for old lady bladders. bladder'd. -so... we've never met before. this is my house. what are you doing here? codex, you seem sad lately. -and i came here to the physical realm to hold you. look! this long-distance thing is killing our relationship. what? whoa! -zaboo, we don't have a relationship. i mean, we're friends. friends, online, anonymously. oh, really? well, this chat log says otherwise. -chat log. 5:38 a.m. 3/13/07. "codex: 'where are you? ' zaboo: 'farming in netherhell.' codex: 'can i help? -i need gold.' zaboo: 'i will give you gold."' that's pretty sweet of me. "codex: 'no. i don't want to ruin our relationship."' followed by a "winking smile." okay? -you know, you winkie'd me. no. because that was just a keyboard error. you know, it was just supposed to be a colon. a nice, impersonal colon. -the semi-colon just slips in when i can't hit the shift key. it's a freudian slip. okay? our keyboard chemistry is undeniable. i just really think that... -oh, my god! what? what's wrong? i've gotta drop some kids off at the pool right now. what are you talking about? -no, i have to go poo. oh. gross. ooh. okay. -so you can go down the hall, and it's the first door on the... to the... to the left. no, i know. 'cause i know every floor plan of every place you've ever lived. -floor plan'd. okay. that is inappropriate. you guys. i just don't... -bladezz. you shouldn't be arguing right now. guys! you should live it up. hey, guys? -hey, guys? guys? i found zaboo. the ntsb guys are here about that bulkhead problem. ok, thanks. -it's there. i should run the algorithms, though, don't you think? nope. you wanna wait for those spectrometer results? no. -hi. hey. what about dinner, tonight? ha. we go out to dinner... we might never come back. -ok. hee hee! i wanna wake up with you... mrs. smith. i want to at least see where you live. -i live here... mr. smith. metro division. uh, lieutenant nunally, please. uh, lieutenant nunally comes on at 6:00 tonight. -can someone else help you?

do you ever get that way about me, jen? i really don't think i can do one of these tonight. i'm just... huh... trying to describe my feelings. those don't sound like feelings. -oh. what's the sound of a feeling? you think you're so much smarter than me. must make you feel very powerful. helpless, actually. -ok, maybe it's time to really talk. no. no? no. fine. -whatever. huh. i'll go change. i'll make some dinner. i love you. -i know. does he... mrs. smith? i'm sorry. don't be. -knowledge is pain. i'm used to that. not that i don't get some little pleasures... in return for the pain, mind you. mr. and mrs. crawford? you all right? -everybody ok in there?

let me ask you a question. ok. shoot. we have a senior associate... at the firm named calvin tyler. -kind of a rising star. he goes into court against you. some client's kid is d.u. i... and the next thing we know, calvin is fired and... burt wooton, who has never even interviewed... a junior associate before, let alone hired one... says you're starting in two weeks. -calvin came to me for a deal. so i told him if he can get me a meeting... with mr. wooton, that i'd... throw the case. he set it up, but he came to court unprepared... and i mopped the floor with him. your client got the maximum, and then... next day, i was meeting with mr. wooton. bo... -burt. that's... you didn't actually do anything all that wrong. i wasn't exactly honest with calvin. ha. -are you gonna get that? everybody i wanna talk to is right here. welcome to wooton sims. get your phone. yeah. -hey, willy, it's flores. i got bad news. the gun. it's no good. what do you mean the gun's no good? -well, it's a fine gun. it's just no good as evidence. never been fired. never been fired? well, it's the gun from the house, isn't it? -yeah. it's, uh... property of the defendant... bought about... one month ago. well, the gun never left the house. he was locked inside from the time of the crime... to the time of the arrest. so the gun is in there. -so don't tell me that the gun isn't in there. go find it. get a team out there tomorrow and find it. no, i haven't. i have not. -well, everything's been so expedited, you know. and i guess i just thought that, uh... well, i don't know. i guess i thought... however it was decorated was how it was decorated. huh? -right away, sir. well, what do most... of the other junior associates have? oh. well, what... what is the difference between, uh... -italian and english? yeah, i kno... i know that they are two different countries. i was talking about in terms of interior design. you hold on one second? -huh. what, uh, kind of style would you say that this is? homicidal modern? i don't know. i guess i'll just know it when i see it. -uh-huh. ooh, 2:00? i don't... yeah, all right. i can do it. -bye-bye, now. alright, good to see you. what the hell is this? it's a... thing. it does stuff. -what, did he make it or something? the guy? yeah. uh-huh. here, take a look at this. -it's for the glock 45... we found at the scene. now, we got no other sign of a gun so far. no weapon. no powder on his hand... no blood on his clothes. we found four shell casings. -45's wiped clean. no prints. that's four shots fired. four bullets missing from the case. four shell casings on the floor with no prints on 'em. -and a gun that's never been fired. the guy's screwing with us. he's stacking the deck. she's pretty. look, the gun is in this house. -maybe he was wearing gloves. maybe he had time to change. but it's in the house... and i'll tell you why it's in the house. because people were watching the house. and he never came out. -and i could be wrong... but i don't think that the gun grew little gun legs... and ran out of the house. so, if you need more guys... i'm all for it. that's disability insurance. uh-huh. -most of our employees get that. it's only an additional $6.84 a month. all right. just be sure you sign the one with the devil in blood. it's not binding otherwise. -just going into a meeting. i wanted to stop by and make sure... you're getting everything you need. i'm getting more than i need. i'm running a little late. will you walk with me? -yeah. i'll send him right back. oh, no problem. we were just finishing paperwork... and ordering furniture... and i was gonna give him some swatches and chips. which i thought was something to eat... -didn't i?

warfield. warfield? ain't that the biotech guy who stole like, uh... 300 million from his own company? that biotech guy who had no idea whatsoever... what his cfo was doing? -oh, right. this is a test, willy. burt told me to give you a trial by fire. i'm good at trials by fire. he wants you up to speed... on eight months of depositions in two weeks. -no problem. what about closing out your old job? don't worry about it. yeah? beachum. -no, danny, no. no, no, no, no. i... no. the idea is to get things outta here. oh, is that the idea? -well, sorry. enjoy a jelly bean. hmm. thanks. what color did you get?

hmm? oh, no, i'm not... -i'm not judging you, willy. no. anyone coming from what you came from... then paying your way through east okie cowshit college... and tulsa law by writing papers... for princeton kids on the internet... my god, $60,000 in debt... and 97% conviction rate. wow. -you deserve it, kiddo. what have you been doing? oh, i'm permitted the use of a private investigator. not to investigate me. why not? -you're investigating me. because you shot your wife. allegedly. that's how it works, right? if i can't introduce something in court as evidence... it doesn't exist legally. -i... i... i'm not gonna play games with you. i'm afraid you have to, old sport. what is this? -wha... what is it? some kinda, uh, form of communication? uh-huh. you sent me a box of papers. it's called disc... -it's called discovery, all right? that's where the state is legally obligated... to provide all the evidence... to the defendant... so you can prepare your defense. there's nothing in it, willy. you haven't actually discovered anything. that's one point of view. -another might be that i've hit the mother lode. oh, have they found the gun? i don't need the gun to convict you. huh. tell me something. -does it bother you that i call you willy? no. no. willy. willy, i'd like you to consider becoming my lawyer. -i'll pay you lots of money. i'm prosecuting you. yes, but i'm giving you a chance... to get on the other side of this unholy mess... while you still can. right. are you out of your mind? -ha ha. i think, on advice of counsel... i'll decline to answer that one. all right. well, look, i'm gonna... thank you for your offer. -i'm gonna stay right where i am. at least for one more week. look, just keep this. don't send it back. you need that. -you also need to come up with a witness list. no, i'll leave all the witness crap to you. right. 'cause you're not gonna... you're not gonna call any witnesses. no, i'm innocent, remember, until proven guilty. -whatever. you heard the judge. you know that's not grounds for an appeal. ah, what the heck. jury of my peers, and so on and so forth. -right. you know, my grandfather was, uh, an egg farmer. this isn't gonna be about your, uh... rough childhood, is it? no, i used to candle eggs at his farm. do you know what that is? -you hold an egg up to the light of a-a candle and, uh... you look for imperfections. the first time i did it... he told me to put all the eggs that were cracked... or flawed into a bucket for the bakery. and, uh, he came back an hour later... and there were 300 eggs in the bakery bucket. he asked me what the hell i was doing... but i found a flaw in every single one of them. you know, thin places in the shell and, uh... fine hairline cracks. -you look closely enough... you'll find everything has a weak spot... where it can break, sooner or later. you looking for mine? i've already found yours. what is it? you're a winner, willy. -heh heh heh. yeah. well, i guess the joke's on me, then, isn't it? you bet your ass, old sport. what time was that? -about, uh, 5:00. then she went into the house. prior to that... had you seen mr. crawford arrive at the house? yes. when was that? -earlier than usual. uh, maybe 4:00. did mr. crawford park in the carport? no, he always parks in the garage. he's very careful with his car. -would you say that mr. crawford... was a very careful man? oh, yes. always. thank you. no further questions, your honor. -mr. crawford. uh, yes, your honor? uh, hello, ciro. no, m... mr. crawford. -it... it's your turn to cross-examine this witness. oh, no. no questions. what time? -5:12 exactly. we called in swat as soon as we knew... there was a possible hostage situation... and then i tried to establish contact... through the front gate intercom. any answer? none. what then? -two other uniform squads arrived. we established a perimeter... outside the walls as quickly as possible... to keep the house under observation. oh, i'm sorry. sorry, mr. beachum. your honor. -so the house was completely surrounded... within minutes of your arrival. all four sides. and neither you nor any other officer... saw anyone go into or come out of that house. no. and what happened next? -the bullet pierced through the frontal cortex... and the temporal lobe... coming to rest on the upper right side... of her brain, against the skull. and degree of injury? it inflicted grievous and irreparable injury. dr. kang, is it safe to say... that someone who inflicted this kind... of wound intended to kill? oh... a moment, uh... -mr. crawford? yes, your honor? you might want to object. the witness can't know your state of mind. uh, no, thank you, your honor. -proceed. sorry. and after you put down your gun... what did mr. crawford do? he confessed to shooting his wife. he confessed. -now, did mr. crawford appear confused... intoxicated, or impaired in any way? no. no, not at all. he knew exactly what was going on. detective nunally, what did mr. crawford say? -he said: "it was like i just suddenly snapped. "i got the gun and i shot my wife. "i shot her in the head. " objection. i'm sorry, mr. crawford, did you say something? -yes, i wish to object. on what grounds? i don't know. your honor... um, i don't know what, uh, you'd call it, but, uh... they... -it wasn't the first time it happened either... but, um... i, um... i don't know the... uh, legal terminology. well, why don't you try and explain it in layman's terms? um... fucking the victim. -well, you said layman's terms. your honor... i'm sorry, your honor, but what would you call it... legally, when the officer who arrested you was... having sexual intercourse with your wife? you know, i think it's objectionable. it's rather disgusting is what i think, but, uh... -i don't know. maybe i'm wrong. tss... um, rob? um... oh, shit. -can i talk to you for a second? aah! uhh! aah! order. -order. just... bailiffs... order! order! -bailiffs! please! you lying son of a bitch. we're in recess. he had my witness list... and he should've filed to suppress. -my mistake. i'm sorry. mr. crawford, you were warned. you don't get to use that as an excuse to play games. well, what about the fact that it's true? -i mean, isn't that the point here... to get to the truth? mr. beachum, is it true? i have no idea, your honor... i just heard about it five minutes ago. put him back on the witness stand... if you don't believe me. -this is getting out of hand, your honor. now, he just provoked my witness... with an outrageous allegation. my dick has evidence. excuse me? my dick, my private investigator. -i call him dick. perhaps i should call him as a rebuttal witness. uh, because since the tragedy... um, he's dug up hotel records and witnesses... that confirm that my wife and mr. nunally... were having an affair. my dick is good. your honor, so what if he was? -mr. beachum. even if he was... your witness was intimate with the victim... and assaulted the defendant during the arrest. actually, while trying to obtain... my so-called confession. yes. -oh, come on. is that a legal argument, "oh, come on"? don't make me come across this table 'cause i will... i just want... your honor, he dictated and signed his confession... at the station long after the incident, all right? -in fear for my life, since my wife's lover... who had just beaten me... uh, was in the room with his friends... and the other officers. was detective nunally present... during mr. crawford's interrogation? uh... he... he... he may have been, i don't know. because if that is indeed the case... the confessions, both of them, are out. if nunally was there... -mr. crawford was under duress. the confessions and any evidence gathered... while mr. nunally was present... will all have to be excluded... as "fruit of the poisonous tree. " this... this is insane. that's the bible, isn't it? the fruit of the tree and all that? -it's matthew. or is it mark? he set all this up. this is a setup. i'm sorry, mr. beachum... but i am not going to allow coerced confessions... in my courtroom. -your honor, do you think i could go home now... with thanksgiving around the corner? unbelievable. don't push it, mr. crawford. what i want to do is i'm going to give... mr. beachum a few days... to come up with some new evidence... and if he can't then... -maybe you can go home. so we will reconvene on monday morning. i think that's all. thank you, your honor. farewell. -didn't even have the guts to come talk to me. i was going to... after i figured out... uh! how i was gonna handle it. what makes you think that's your decision? you taking me off this case? -your bags are already packed. just go. even if i find new evidence? from where? the evidence store? -what, are they open early the day after thanksgiving? my witness lied to me. yes, because he could. because you weren't looking. and i know why. -your head was in the fast lane on your big salary. so you picked that and what we do here... is not very important anymore. so that's what this is about, isn't it? i'm not gonna be like you in 20 years. hey, you be very careful. -you wanna judge me, be my guest... but this thing was a setup. the confession, everything. maybe. but it didn't have to turn into a public humiliation... for this office. you walked in there unprepared. -you were arrogant and sloppy, and you did damage. how much, we don't even know yet. and i noticed you didn't even care to ask. but don't worry yourself, willy. we'll clean up after you. -bourbon. all right. so... you got killed today. gotta admire the cleverness of it. oh, yeah? -sure, give the devil his due. so, what did lobruto say? took me off the case. good. is it? -yeah. damage control. look, you don't know this guy. i had to fight with burt today... to stop him from firing you. you want this, right? -yeah. good. i have to hang out here another hour... so... i think you should go home. and i'd like you to call me later. -call me later. hmm? hmm. mmm. mmm. -you, uh... y... you don't have to go. yeah, i do. no big family thanksgiving? no. well, i have to... put in some face time with mine, if you want. -all right. thanks. don't thank me yet. mr. beachum, can i help you? look, please, mr. beachum! -i want it back. i take complete responsibility for what happened. although i do feel... like it would have happened to anyone. but if i'd been paying attention... it wouldn't happen to me. i'm not giving you back this case... so you can repair your ego. -well, it's not just about my ego. it's also about the fact that, uh, this guy... he's just enjoying all of this. enjoying this? but that's not evidence. right, but... someone's gotta put him away. -if you just give me a chance. and if there's a way, i'll find it. and if you can't? listen, you leave now, i replace you. i'm covered, i took some action. -but if you go on with this and you lose... i guarantee you your shiny new job... will not be waiting for you. and i can't keep you on here. this is a public office. heads gotta roll. -still want it back? thank you. yeah. the gun's in the house. yeah, except it's also just not. -then what'd he do, detective? he tie it to a goddamn helium balloon? maybe. maybe he, uh... dissolved it in acid. -you got a dob on that? you know, detective... your inability to do your job effectively... is making it very difficult for me to do mine. all right? i'm back in trial... on monday. ok, fine. -i'll get a team together. i'll go over it one more time. and that's it. my wife took the kids to her mom's. and i got the media all over my front lawn. -what were you thinking? you get called to your girlfriend's house? i didn't know it was her house. well, it's her last name. i didn't know her last name. -not her real one, anyway. we just... we met at the miramar, same time, twice a week and... there were no questions asked and there were no phone calls... and that's just the... that's... those were the rules. those were her rules. -all right. did you, uh... get the feeling that she had all these rules... 'cause she'd been doing it before with other guys? be honest. no. listen, i don't know if you can understand this... because you're a fucking lawyer, but... this thing that we had... whatever it was, it was real. -it wasn't just an affair. this girl, she made me feel like... what was i supposed to do? tell me. i tried to warn you, didn't i? -no, you warned me that he was smart. you didn't warn me... that you were stupid. fuck you, you little punk. fuck you! fuck me? -oh, you already did that. i didn't think that he knew, ok? i didn't... there was... there was no way for me to know that he knew. -i just thought the guy was fucking nuts! ya know? ! y'all got security cameras, right? uh, yes, we do. -can i get a copy of those tapes from november 10th? uh, as soon as i can. uhh... i'm just... i'm a little... -i'm, uh, under the gun, here. oh. that's, uh, exactly the way he left 'em? yes. mm-hmm. -what, were they planning a trip next week? excuse me. crawford aeronautics. yes, he is. it's for you. -just pick up line one. hello? hey, willy, old sport. how is it going? uh... well, i'm... -still out here and you're still in there, so... yeah, you're right, there. so the world still makes sense, does it? uh, have you got everything you need, willy? uh, would you like some coffee? -no, thank you. ok. you got some new evidence, have you? what's the matter, willy, aren't we friends anymore? i'm trying to help you. -you're in a bad place and you've nowhere else to turn. ok, i'm gonna hang up. uh, do me a favor, will you, pal? ask tina to cancel my wife's tickets. yeah, we had, uh, plans to travel, you see. -get away, so to speak. next week, actually. sort of a, you know, second honeymoon. uh, painfully ironic, that part, i must say. but i... -i... i don't think, uh, jennifer's gonna make it, willy. do you? whew. well... tore the whole thing apart. -no gun. i'm sorry, willy. good night. "do you dare stay out? "do you dare go in? -"how much can you lose? "how much can you win? "and if you go in, should you turn left or right? "or right and three-quarters? "or maybe not quite? -"you can get so confused... "that you'll start in to race... "down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace... "and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space... "headed i fear towards a most useless place... -"the waiting place. "for people just waiting. "waiting for a train to go... "or for a bus to come... "or a plane to go... -"or the mail to come or the rain to go... "or the phone to ring or the snow to snow... "or waiting around for a yes or a no... "or a string of pearls or a pair of pants... "or a wig with curls... -"or another chance. " what are you doing? hmph. uh... i heard that it might help. -who told you that? um... the guy who shot her. mmm. are you a member of the family? i'm from the district attorney's office. -um... and we... ran out of witnesses. you know, she moved earlier. she moved her eyelids... like she was trying to open up her eyes. yeah, well... sometimes we have to tape... their eyes shut. they all move, they... they twitch, they make sounds. -you think they're dreaming, but they're not. it's just... it's just what's left of the system. normal reflex is downward. up indicates brain trauma. -even if she comes back... she may not remember how to speak... let alone who shot her. what if she can hear you? she can't. it happens, right? people wake up. -it's not impossible. what are you gonna do? keep asking the same question different ways... till you get the answer you want? i guess. that's what i do. -hmm. i knew i shoulda gone to law school. did you like it? i thought it was so funny... when he did that dance at the end. ha ha ha. -would you like some more wine? are you not gonna eat your turkey? i'm a vegetarian. heh heh heh. white or dark meat this time, willy? -oh, it doesn't matter either way, your honor. i think, uh, willy's already chosen the dark side. ha ha! mr. sierra club and ms. aclu here... tend to give me a hard time at the holidays... because i can buy and sell them. we're not actually for sale, nik. -all right, well, since you have... the advantage on all of us... surely it won't bother you if we just mention... to willy that he could put his talents... to more noble use. you don't have to do this. oh, that's all right. i get this from time to time. and it's most always from people with money. -oop. you win. i usually do. except in trial this week. nice, lee. -it's not over till it's over. that looked pretty over. anyway, willy's off the case, so... well, it may not seem like it now, willy... but it's really a blessing in disguise. well, i'm actually not. what? -off the case. i'm back on it. but that doesn't make any sense. lobruto has to do some kind of damage control. yeah, well... -i asked him to let me finish it. you didn't think i might want to know that? did you hear me... when i said i had to convince burt not to fire you? could we not do this here? fine. -actually, i need to talk with you. you lied to me. it doesn't work with me. hey, uh, now, i didn't lie to you. i told you i could be ready in time... and i still can be ready in time. -i got one thing, one thing i gotta do first. you're not in yet, willy! you pulled a stunt! you got your foot in the door. did it ever occur to you... that i could still win this case? -i don't care! that's not what this is about! what the hell is it about? it's about whether or not you can do what you're told. you wanted corporate, right? -that was the point. did i misunderstand that? if you do this, if you win, i'm still screwed. it says i don't know what my subordinates are doing... my judgment is bad, and i'm not in charge of my team. i went out on a limb. -i told burt this was over. i didn't ask you to do that, nik. you know what nobody understands... about certain kinds... of low-paid public service work?

huh? and i'll tell ya something. i'm not gonna end my career on a case... where all i have is an enhanced hat... when what i shoulda had was a murder weapon! -that is new evidence. and what i should've had was a signed confession! i told ya from day one that he was playing games. and you were the man shoulda got that for me! that is a cop-out. -don't you tell me that. you couldn't find my gun... and you're the one that let nunally... take the confession of a guy he just beat up! nunally? nunally lied to me, that's what happened! i gotta go make a case outta nothing. -just being an asshole. uh, beachum. it's done. in the toolshed, taped to the lawn mower blade. 2-10 eastbound. -district attorney's office. can i talk to you?

-'cause i might call you. and if i do... uh, just hang up. you come inside and whisper something in my ear about... finding the murder weapon. you found it. i haven't decided that yet. -ok. ok. mr. beachum. mr. beachum, sir. mr. beachum. -mr. beachum. mr. beachum. mr. beachum. uh, your honor, um... i would like to submit a motion at this time. -what... what type of motion, mr. crawford? i move for a judgment of acquittal. objection. on what grounds? -well, the prosecutor doesn't have any actual evidence... proving that i did anything. i'm about to present my evidence, your honor. but all of his witnesses will testify... to the, uh, same facts... that, uh, my wife was shot and that i was, uh... tragically in the house at the time... and, in a way, a victim myself. and, uh, i'll stipulate to the testimony... of mr. beachum's entire witness list right now. and accordingly i move for a judgment of... -i'm sorry. under the california... uh, penal code section 11-18.1... for a judgment of acquittal... on the ground that the evidence... before this court is insufficient... to sustain a conviction. thank you. your legal skills seem to have improved... over the long weekend, mr. crawford. mr. beachum, have you any new evidence? -your honor... may i have a moment, your honor? uh... your honor. mr. beachum. mr. beachum. -i have no further evidence at this time, your honor. motion for a judgment of acquittal is granted. the jury is released with our apologies... and the defendant is free to go. thank you, your honor. well, even a broken clock... gets to be right twice a day. -hey, rob, take it easy, huh? willy? hey, i just heard. i'm sorry. what'd you think, i wasn't keeping tabs? -i don't know what i thought. listen, what do you say... i take you out tonight and get you completely trashed? tomorrow's just a travel day. what was that? -willy? are you there? over here! initial there and there, sign and date at the bottom. mr. beachum. -what a surprise. now don't tell me, let me guess. you've got, uh, religion or something, haven't you? you've found god and all that stuff. 'cause it's not just the winning... or the losing anymore, is it? -it's the injustice of it. heh heh. this is priceless. oh, come on, willy. you gotta let me enjoy this just a little bit, old sport. -you really need to be nice to me now, willy. why? because... what's left of a life... depends on a machine powered by a cord... that leads to a plug in an electrical outlet... and i decide when it gets pulled. that's why. excuse me. -i'm looking for, uh... i'll just call you. oh, never mind. thank you. i called you all night. -and i need your help. i don't know anything about civil court. and i gotta get... a restraining order right away. this guy's gonna pull the plug on her. what are you doing? -what do you mean, what am i doing? you shouldn't be here. i gotta tie him up in court. i gotta challenge his health care proxy. i gotta find somebody. -i don't know who. like a... a... a family member or something to stop him. i really tried, willy. hey, hey, hey. don't. -this man's gonna kill his wife. this man's gonna kill his wife. and what does that have to do with wooton sims? hey. excuse me. -hey. sorry. do you know any civil court judges? drop it. do you know any civil court judges? -i just need a number. have you been at home at all today? no, i've been trying to find somebody... who can put me in touch with a civil court judge. there's a restraining order out against you. i've got a... a restraining order against me? -you were at the hospital. right? overnight. heh heh heh heh ha! and he got one against me? -yeah. he has a lawyer now. they went to judge gorman this morning. hold on a second. who's his lawyer? -is it goldstein? listen to yourself. he can have you arrested. your one shot. you had it. -ok? i know i had one shot and i blew it, all right? yeah. and he walked. and there is nothing we can do. -he's a private citizen now. we have no standing. when you're done, you are done. those are the rules. what about... her? -you have to worry about yourself now. no, i've... i've, you know, done that. i've done a lotta that. your honor? -i got nowhere else to go. hi, ted. hi. it probably won't hold up on appeal. i just need the time. -here we go. reflexes, no change. turn off the ventilator. ah. hey. -hey! hey, what's going on? step outside, please. look, i got a court order. i'm sorry. -just step outside. i got a c... i got... i got a court order. i'm sorry. -just step outside. i got a c... you're not answering your phone. that's kind of an answer in itself, isn't it? need a hand with this? -uhh. can i get you a beer or something? ha. uhh. thank you. -so what now? something else. you belong in the prosecutor's office. well, what happened to "head's must roll"? yeah, well, it's my office. -least until the next election. thank you, but no, thank you. we all lose, willy. i let a man get away with murder. how am i supposed to live with that? -well, you learn to. well, i hope not. all right. well, you know, if it makes you feel any better... technically you let a man get away with attempted murder. for what it's worth. -yeah? all right. i got it all right here. i finished the r... it's in the box right now, it's coming. -it's... just a sec. hey, honey. i'm just on a call. yeah. -ok, just a sec. no. i will not do that. it's not... and thank you. good. -right. well, i've... i... like i said, reports are done. they're on their way. -hey, hon. no, did you get the suit? yeah, yeah, i got it cut. can i read that? ok, hon. -um, i'll pick up the kids, see you at the school. i'll bring the suit. no, no, i'll be there. i'm leaving right now. i am not going to be late, ok? -hey. why don't you go home? huh? get a life. huh? -alrighty. turn off the lights when you're done. yeah, hon? it's yours. here. -mm-hmm. yeah. hello, old sport. ah, willy. can you hear me? -i called to say goodbye. i'm leaving tonight... on that second honeymoon we talked about. uh-huh. won't be quite the same... without our jennifer, though, will it? anyway, i have a little something for you. -it's a present, a little gift... and i was gonna send it to wooton sims but, uh... i guess that's not working out anymore... and the da's office didn't have a forwarding address. um, do you have any suggestions? uh, just let yourself in. i'll be right out. -good evening, willy. so, what do you think? oh, yeah, that's... really... really, really nice of you. a simple "no, thank you," uh... is the preferred etiquette when declining a gift. takes a very special sort of person... to look into someone's eyes and shoot them, willy. -a certain kind of strength... if you know what i mean. well, i guess you'd know that, wouldn't you? oh, yes, i would. anyway... i've got another bag to pick up. -don't you start shooting without me now, will you? i noticed something. it's a little late. aw, hell, it's a lot late. but i noticed... that, uh... you and nunally have the exact same gun. -so? well, that's why you went to the hotel... that afternoon, isn't it? you took his, you put yours in his place. i gave it back. right, you gave it back. -when all he could see was her. and then you knew that he would just... walk the murder weapon... right outta the house, didn't you? that's very clever. it wasn't just clever. admit it, willy. -it was beautiful. he sat through the entire trial... wearing the only piece of evidence on his hip. yeah. then he used it on himself. well... sometimes life gives us these little gifts... if you know what i mean. -i do know what you mean. i know exactly what you mean because... i got the bullet. the one in your wife's head. that one we couldn't take out... as long as she was alive. -i'm pretty sure it's gonna match nunally's... and that gives me the murder weapon. nicely done, willy. truly. heh. a regular chain of evidence. -neat stuff. vivid. heartbreaking. the victim cries out from beyond the grave. aye. -yeah. heh heh. juries love all that sort of crap. don't they? i bet you don't even need a confession anymore... do you, willy? -oh, i tell you what, though, old sport. uh, let's make you a new one just in case. the real deal, all the juicy details. you can get your rocks off on that, then, can't you? huh? -yeah. i shot my wife in the face. right there. she didn't look so pretty after that. and i stood there looking down at her. -and i watched her eyes go all empty. i could smell the blood and the shit. smelled like metal. and the look on his face. aw, heh. -he's trying to get her back to life, you see. and i was pissing myself laughing... because i took both the bastards out... with one fucking bullet. yeah. and now you've got your little bullet, haven't you? got what you want. -so bring it all on, kiddo. bring it all into court. except you can't, can you? let's see, now, first year law, double jeopardy. i went to trial, you lost. -oh, pity about that. uh, doesn't matter what you do now. doesn't matter what you know. i mean, she could come back from the dead, you see... and testify, spill the beans, and it would mean... nothing. so you... can't touch me. -ever. she was alive. when you first went to trial for attempted murder... your wife was still alive. but you just had to pull that plug, didn't you? hmm? -well, now she's dead, and that's murder. that's homicide, first degree... and that's new charges. there's new evidence. that's a new trial. get the fuck out of my house. -all right. whew. i just don't know why you didn't let it go. doctor said, uh... she probably woulda outlived us all. all rise. -the superior court of los angeles... people of the state of california... versus theodore crawford. the honorable judge joseph pinkus presiding. are the people ready, mr. beachum? very well. we will now proceed with opening statements. -ladies and gentlemen of the jury, what you hear... i never thought that i could be so satisfied every time that i look in your angel eyes a shock inside me that words just can't describe and there's no explaining -something in the way you move i can't deny every word from your lips is a lullaby a twist of fate makes life worthwhile you are gold and silver i said i wasn't gonna lose my head -but then pop goes my heart pop goes my heart i wasn't gonna fall in love again but then pop goes my heart pop goes my heart -and i just can't let you go i can't lose this feeling these precious moments we have so few let's go far away where there's nothing to do but play you've shown to me that my destiny's with you -and there's no explaining i said i wasn't gonna lose my head but then pop goes my heart pop goes my heart i wasn't gonna fall in love again -but then pop goes my heart pop goes my heart and i just can't let you go i can't lose this feeling a twist of fate makes life worthwhile -you are gold and silver i said i wasn't gonna lose my head but then pop goes my heart pop goes my heart i wasn't gonna fall in love again -but then pop goes my heart pop goes my heart and i just can't let you go pop was one of the biggest bands of the '80s but today they're known as colin thompson's old group. -colin, or as he's been dubbed by the queen, "sir colin" has gone on to sell millions of records, star in blockbuster films and create his own cologne, "a whiff of colin." but here's a question: can you remember the name of the other guy in pop? whatever happened to alex fletcher? tonight we find out on battle of the '80s has-beens. -we think it's gonna be bigger than american idol. so, what do you think, alex? well, i love it. it's brilliant on so many levels, i don't even know where to start. good for you. -because some of the people we've approached have had a little problem with the term "has-been." have they? have they? you see, i don't share that. i am a happy has-been. -really. it's a very clear statement: "i live in the past. everything good i ever did was long ago. don't expect anything new or exciting from me now." -really takes the pressure off. especially on a first date. good for you. so we've already taped several shows and we're going to start airing them this week. and some of the performers include reo speedwagon... -speedwagon. ... flock of seagulls... the flock? okay. -... debbie gibson, tiffany... debbie. history there. ...and frankie goes to hollywood. -so "relax." nice one. good. okay. worthy adversaries, all. -and how many songs would i actually get to perform? i'd like to do two, you know? a ballad and then maybe a more up-tempo number where i get to shake it a bit. i can't promise any of the acts that they'll be singing. sorry? -confused. what would we be doing, then? boxing. that's why the show is called battle of the '80s has-beens. only the winner gets to sing. -right, right, right. got you. afternoon, mr. fletcher. hello, willy. have a good day. -yes, well, enjoyed it so far. all right. there he is. oh, my manager. all right, listen, i had no idea they meant boxing. -nobody said a word to me, i swear. no, it's not a problem. i can definitely take flock of seagulls. we did a tour with them in '89 and we beat them severely. they cried like little girls. -all right, listen. it's my fault and i hate myself for it, but i'm not upset. and do you know why? you've been at my liquor. because of her. -cora corman. biggest star in the world. bigger than britney and christina put together. and guess who she loves. her country? -you. she's a huge pop fan and she wants to meet you, alex. hang on, hang on. khan, i've missed you. alex, i have sophie here for you. -that sounds like fun. who is she? she's here to do your plants. but jane does my plants. she can be in and out in five minutes, and this is really the best time for her. -it seems she cannot be stopped. send her up. so start again. cora corman.... why do you have a plant lady? -why do you even have plants? because from time to time ladies accompany me back to the apartment and one once mentioned that plants make women comfortable. is that true? plants make women comfortable? well, maybe if i had plants i'd still be married. -yes, i think that was the problem. not susan's affair and raging nymphomania but your lack of vegetation. hang on. hi, i'm sophie fisher. i'm alex fletcher. -you didn't get the message from jane? no. i haven't listened to my-- she was supposed to let you know i'd be doing plants. very nice. -lovely. well, come on in. thank you. i hope you have your own watering can. jane told me that everyone had their own. -but this last guy, mr. werther, about 80, he didn't have his own watering can so he starts yelling at me and screaming at me in german: i'm fluent enough to know what he's saying. you haven't been cursed at till you've been cursed at in german. i know what you mean. i dated a fräulein once. -plant stuff is in the kitchen under the sink. and i have my own can. oh, well, vielen dank. hi, i'm chris riley, alex's manager. oh, sophie fisher. -nice to meet you. so kitchen? yeah. great. so cora corman, huh? -how great is that? do you believe it? all right, wait, wait, wait. is it even a good idea? pros and cons. -pros: she's a huge star, great publicity, terrific money. cons? no matter what you do, in 40 years we'll both be dead. okay. -huge star, great publicity, terrific money versus eventual death. i think we have to think about it. okay, good, because cora is shooting a video tonight. she wants to meet both of us right after. tonight? -tonight? yes, tonight. you all right? do you have a band-aid and antibiotic cream? no, no. -and sadly, i think i've lent out my iron lung. okay. well, then i'm gonna go because, you know, this could get infected. and it's not clotting yet, but, i mean, i'm a little hypochondriacal. you just- -you can never be too careful. anyway, i'll come back and finish. so come again. i mean, you live here. i'll come again. -i'm gonna go get this looked at. you should really have a first-aid kit. thank you. have a good night. i'll see you. -weird. don't give her a key. no. so you said something about tonight. tonight we meet cora. -i've got to have my buddha's delight om shanti, shanti i've got to have my buddha's delight om shanti, shanti i want a revelation -and sweet salvation and the eternal fire show me the eternal fire like sitting meditation you give me elevation can you take me higher? -she seems like a very spiritual kid. yeah. it's nice to see a young woman exploring religion. i'm not satisfied if i don't get my buddha's delight -and cut. terrific. hey, i'm ray, cora's manager. chris riley. nice to meet you. -alex fletcher. great to meet you. hi, ray...? just ray. cora's this way, come on. -follow me. c, this is alex fletcher and his manager, chris riley. we loved the video. it was unbelievable. yeah. -you know, i wish i brought my daughter. she worships you. i'm divorced. but that's another story. mr. fletcher, it's a pleasure. -your song "dance with me tonight" got me through my parents' divorce when i was 7. really? wow. yeah, because i recorded that when i was 9, so... yeah. -i want my fans to know the same spiritual uplift that your music gave me. that would be lovely. i have a few tunes it would be nice to update. oh, i don't live in the past, mr. fletcher. it was so long ago. -i want you to write a new song. okay. you see i recently broke up with my boyfriend. we had been together for almost two months. it was a terrible experience. -but then i read a book by guru mathashavi called a way back into love. and that will be the title of our new song. and in two weeks when i open my tour at madison square garden we'll perform it together. okay. here's the snag-- -we also wanna put the song on her new cd which is pretty much finished, so we need it by friday. this friday? yeah, but don't feel any pressure. we've got seven other retro artists working on "way back into love" so if you blow it, we're covered. mr. fletcher, don't look at this as a competition. -if it's meant to be, it will be. it's destiny. yes. or not. okay. -i can't possibly write a song by friday. what could she be thinking of? all right. look, look, can i be honest with you? you're my manager. -i would have to fire you. we need this. let's not be desperate. we have the state fairs, knott's berry farm. they've canceled. -knott's berry canceled? look. we're still on for the indiana state fair, okay? but texas and arkansas dropped us. the apple picking? -the apple picking festival is a go but great adventure only wants three nights instead of 10. all right? my god. i had no idea. why didn't you tell me these things? -why--? i'm telling- i'm telling you now. alex, it's been 15 years since pop. there's new old acts coming up all the time. -tears for fears is going on tour. there's talk of a spice girl reunion. that's not my audience. ricky martin. i'm dead. -i'm dead. i'm dead. i'm finished. i'm finished. no, you're not dead. -i'm gonna wind up doing bar mitzvahs. no, you're not. thirteen-year-old kids have no idea who you are. well, that's good to know. what about you? -you might actually have to take on another client. look, don't worry about me. what we gotta concentrate on is refreshing your image. then we'll get knott's berry and great adventure. who knows? -we might even get disneyland. don't tease me. i'm very vulnerable. tell you something, alex. you do a song for cora and there is a spot for you in the magic kingdom, baby. -writing a song. i thought i was done with that whole nightmare. just one song. that's all we need. one song. -but it's so time-consuming, you know? and i haven't written for 10 years. and i need a lyricist. and it's never worked with anyone except colin. look, i know it's not easy to get somebody good this fast but there is this guy. -supposedly he's very hip, very edgy. he just worked with avril. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. i'm just a bit blocked here. -if you don't like the lyrics, be straight with me. no, no, no, no. the lyrics are very, very powerful. maybe you want something more commercial? more pop-y? -just hold that thinly veiled insult for one second. hello. hey. khan said i could just come up? they were able to save the whole hand. -i know. i made too big a deal out of it. it's just that i hate infections. but then again, who likes them? maybe the people who make penicillin. -there's two sides to every story. true. except for the nazis. i can't really see the other side of that argument. excuse me? -i'm sorry. i didn't even see you there. hi. i'm sophie fisher. yeah, sophie, this is greg antonsky. -he's a noted lyricist. really? well, i don't wanna get in your way. and i can see that i already have. so i'm off to the kitchen. -don't tell me. she's kind of hot. good. yeah. i'm glad you enjoyed her. -she's coming back in here, right? i would imagine so. unless she goes directly back to the mother ship. how about: give it up, i'm a bad hot witch -i look real good, but i'm a nasty bitch i can scream and claw and curdle your blood but you'll die on your way back into love no. start on a minor third. -try that. right. so: give it up, i'm a bad hot witch i look real good, but i'm a nasty-- -come on. you're missing the point. from the first line. "give it up, i'm a bad hot witch" is okay. but then it should be-- -but with some magic, i just might switch sorry. what did you say? i don't remember. i think it was, "but with some magic, i just might switch." -that is actually quite intriguing. that's not my lyric. no, i know, but it's a lovely phrase. look, if you can't handle anything except moon and june why don't we just let plant girl finish the lyrics? plant girl. -give it up, i'm a bad hot witch but with some magic, i just might switch finish it. i'm just here to cater to the plants. and you are doing a fine job, if i may say so. -although that one is plastic. this is a waste of time. let's fly my broom to the stars above and we'll charm our way back into love what's the next line, "feelings, nothing more than feelings"? -you people disgust me. i'm sorry. i shouldn't have gotten involved. i have no filtering system. no. -that's fine, that's fine. he had to get back to his job at hallmark anyway. listen, have you ever done any writing? i mean, everybody's done some writing, you know? well, not everybody. -illiteracy is a growing epidemic in this country. i write slogans for weight-not this weight reduction company that my sister runs. did you ever hear of the band pop? yeah, of course, everybody has. my sister rhonda loved them. -they had that ridiculous hair and those ridiculous outfits and-- oh, my god, you're one of them. that hair was very much in style then. i'm very sorry. yeah, that's fine. -but i would love to talk to you about maybe writing some lyrics. but i don't write lyrics. well, we could just kick some ideas around, repot the ficus. i don't think so. i appreciate the offer, though. -i have to go babysit for my sister now. i mean, her kids. she's 38 now, so.... thank you. okay, listen. -do you know who cora corman is? oh, yeah. my niece loves her. okay, well, i'm writing a song for her, so if you change your mind and the idea of working with me is of any interest at all, please just call, okay? or if you just fancy a good laugh, i am performing at the hilton tonight. -well, thank you. i mean, but i can't, you know. i'm sorry. "i just can't," she says mysteriously. but i just can't. -i'm sorry. thank you for the offer. yes. oh, my god. go to the next level, weirdo. -you have to go to the next level. it's your parents. go get into bed. get into bed. this is not a drill. -but we haven't even brushed our teeth. get in there. get in there. get into bed. hey. -hi. how was the movie? i enjoyed it. he fell asleep. i enjoy sleeping. -how was dinner? really nice place. it's really hard to enjoy dinner when you run a weight-loss center. if i get fat, there goes my fiscal year. honey, you're not fat. -you're not about to open a branch in boca. but thank you, sweetie. how'd everything go here? oh, yeah. good. -great. the kids ate and went to sleep. yeah, it- they're really bad children. okay, okay. -everybody goes to bed. i'm sending your father in there. whoa, we're so scared. and then i'm coming in. i'll just go check to make sure they're still breathing. -hey, wanna do some stress eating? just a piece of diet cheesecake. this thing happened to me today-- i don't know. i'm just gonna go home. you seem so jumpy tonight. -you know, i feel a little guilty about something. how unusual for you. okay, listen. i have to tell you. i met that guy from that band you used to like. -alex fletcher from pop?

-arrogant river? deposition of silt? it is actually the silt, and i'm going to show you... erm, the silt goes into a sort of super silt. bless, o lord, this food to our use and bless us to your service, make us mindful of the needs of others, through jesus christ, amen. -jess! jess! only you could lose something strapped to your wrist. i should've taken it off you. don't go in that shed again. -do you understand?

"eat your food," they say. -it's not fit for dogs. and the screams at night. there's folk screaming in their beds. but i don't know if they're hurting or just... afraid of something. i'm rescuing you, father! -we're going to escape! i need to spend a penny first. lord have mercy! what are you doing?

-oh, shit! thank you for coming to save me, colonel trautman. will? will? i'll just have to say i got lost or something. -i don't know. if this film doesn't win screen test, i'm gonna be a monkey's uncle. right, come on. we're gonna be blood brothers now. what's blood brothers? -come here. how long do we have to hold it like this for? until we hear that wood pigeon again. i gave your watch to my brother. oh, so i won't ever get it back, then? -no. he likes it. wasn't mine anyway. it was my dad's. is he pissed off with you? -he's dead. oh. right. how did he die? mowing the lawn. -it wasn't the mowing that did it, you idiot. he had a thing called an aneurysm. a little vein in his head popped, and that was that. he just, sort of, fell to the ground and the lawnmower kept going and tipped up and... into the fence and made this really loud noise as if it was hungry or something. it kept going "rrrr," until they switched it off. -jesus! i hope my veins don't pop. me, too. my brother said you can kill someone with one punch. really? -yeah. if you hit 'em right in the nose, their bone goes up through their brain and kills 'em. wow! has he ever killed anyone like that? no. -he could if he wanted to, though. he's pretty skill at everything. do you like him? well, yeah, course i do. he's my brother, isn't he? -what about your dad? my dad? no. he pissed off before i was born. then my mum met colin, the bloke with the big hair? -he owns the care home, so we all live there. it's alright, i suppose. but he lives in spain, so my mum's always over there with him. she gets tons of duty-free and stuff, which is kind of skill, cos it's mostly just me and lawrence. we get to do what we want, muck about. -there's no-one to tell us off. seriously, though, parents... you're pretty much better off without 'em. that's what i say. colonel trautman. -yeah? not including the bit about losing my dad's watch, this has been my best day of all time. oh! we've scabbed. o my god, i've come to say thank you for your love today. -thank you for my family and all the friends you give to me. guard me in the dark of night and in the morning, send your light. amen. he's been lying, mary. he's confused. -he's trying to be a good samaritan. you've had more than your share of loss in life, and none of us wants to see you lose your son to outsiders, but you must speak with him now. warn him. let him know that the path he is on can lead only to misery, not just for himself but for all of you. there's a group meeting tomorrow. -i thought it might do him good to come along, get him back on track. could you get him out of school? of course. i'll make sure he's ready. well... good night, mary. -and the lord must greatly resent the attempt to pursue a double life that goes hand in hand with the world and presuming to be fully brethren at the same time. hear, hear. god is faithful, who has called us into the fellowship of his son. it works out that way, instead of being enticed. god doesn't entice anybody into evil. -we're enticed, led astray, by our own flesh, according to the scripture. oi, you! come back! come on, then! oi, you! -come back! see ya! my father won't send us to your school. he said the pupils are a bad influence. is it true, brother william? -i suppose so. what are you looking at? well, you'll be wearing this stuff one day, mate. thank you for taking him, joshua. we all need a little guidance from time to time. -i'd hoped he might see me as a kind of father figure. you were hungry. yes, very. well, i'd better be going. good night, mary. -good night. good night. what was he saying? come with me. he thought you were great. -really, he did. next! where have you been, eh? if you didn't wanna make this film, you should've said, rather than leaving me on my own covered in ketchup! we're blood brothers, or have you not remembered? -i had to go to a meeting! it's our religion! oh, my itchy blue beard. they made me go and it was all day! i'm not supposed to be your friend. -what's wrong with me? i'm plymouth brethren. what is that supposed to mean? it's our religion. bollocks, will! -it's true. if they find out we're friends, i'll be in the worst trouble ever. i didn't forget, lee carter. they made me go. -i swear it, on my heart! i'm not allowed to make the film with you any more. it's forbidden. well, i didn't wanna make it with you, anyway. you, er, left your alarm clock in my locker. -you'd better go and get it. ok. son of rambo, say, hello, to your new flying dog. did you make this?

and how do they do that? how does a river operate above the level of the flood plain? is it because it's a bit arrogant, thinks it's a bit better than the flood plain, or is it because of active deposition of silt in times of flood? arrogant river? -deposition of silt? it is actually the silt, and i'm going to show you... erm, the silt goes into a sort of super silt. bless, o lord, this food to our use and bless us to your service, make us mindful of the needs of others, through jesus christ, amen. jess! -jess! only you could lose something strapped to your wrist. i should've taken it off you. don't go in that shed again. do you understand?

-come here. how long do we have to hold it like this for? until we hear that wood pigeon again. i gave your watch to my brother. oh, so i won't ever get it back, then? -no. he likes it. wasn't mine anyway. it was my dad's. is he pissed off with you? -he's dead. oh. right. how did he die? mowing the lawn. -it wasn't the mowing that did it, you idiot. he had a thing called an aneurysm. a little vein in his head popped, and that was that. he just, sort of, fell to the ground and the lawnmower kept going and tipped up and... into the fence and made this really loud noise as if it was hungry or something. it kept going "rrrr," until they switched it off. -jesus! i hope my veins don't pop. me, too. my brother said you can kill someone with one punch. really? -yeah. if you hit 'em right in the nose, their bone goes up through their brain and kills 'em. wow! has he ever killed anyone like that? no. -he could if he wanted to, though. he's pretty skill at everything. do you like him? well, yeah, course i do. he's my brother, isn't he? -what about your dad? my dad? no. he pissed off before i was born. then my mum met colin, the bloke with the big hair? -he owns the care home, so we all live there. it's alright, i suppose. but he lives in spain, so my mum's always over there with him. she gets tons of duty-free and stuff, which is kind of skill, cos it's mostly just me and lawrence. we get to do what we want, muck about. -there's no-one to tell us off. seriously, though, parents... you're pretty much better off without 'em. that's what i say. colonel trautman. -yeah? not including the bit about losing my dad's watch, this has been my best day of all time. oh! we've scabbed. o my god, i've come to say thank you for your love today. -thank you for my family and all the friends you give to me. guard me in the dark of night and in the morning, send your light. amen. he's been lying, mary. he's confused. -he's trying to be a good samaritan. you've had more than your share of loss in life, and none of us wants to see you lose your son to outsiders, but you must speak with him now. warn him. let him know that the path he is on can lead only to misery, not just for himself but for all of you. there's a group meeting tomorrow. -i thought it might do him good to come along, get him back on track. could you get him out of school? of course. i'll make sure he's ready. well... good night, mary. -and the lord must greatly resent the attempt to pursue a double life that goes hand in hand with the world and presuming to be fully brethren at the same time. hear, hear. god is faithful, who has called us into the fellowship of his son. it works out that way, instead of being enticed. god doesn't entice anybody into evil. -we're enticed, led astray, by our own flesh, according to the scripture. oi, you! come back! come on, then! oi, you! -come back! see ya! my father won't send us to your school. he said the pupils are a bad influence. is it true, brother william? -i suppose so. what are you looking at? well, you'll be wearing this stuff one day, mate. thank you for taking him, joshua. we all need a little guidance from time to time. -i'd hoped he might see me as a kind of father figure. you were hungry. yes, very. well, i'd better be going. good night, mary. -good night. good night. what was he saying? come with me. he thought you were great. -really, he did. next! where have you been, eh? if you didn't wanna make this film, you should've said, rather than leaving me on my own covered in ketchup! we're blood brothers, or have you not remembered? -i had to go to a meeting! it's our religion! oh, my itchy blue beard. they made me go and it was all day! i'm not supposed to be your friend. -what's wrong with me? i'm plymouth brethren. what is that supposed to mean? it's our religion. bollocks, will! -it's true. if they find out we're friends, i'll be in the worst trouble ever. i didn't forget, lee carter. they made me go. -i swear it, on my heart! i'm not allowed to make the film with you any more. it's forbidden. well, i didn't wanna make it with you, anyway. you, er, left your alarm clock in my locker. -you'd better go and get it. ok. son of rambo, say, hello, to your new flying dog. did you make this?

-and how do they do that? how does a river operate above the level of the flood plain? is it because it's a bit arrogant, thinks it's a bit better than the flood plain, or is it because of active deposition of silt in times of flood? arrogant river? deposition of silt? -it is actually the silt, and i'm going to show you... erm, the silt goes into a sort of super silt. bless, o lord, this food to our use and bless us to your service, make us mindful of the needs of others, through jesus christ, amen. jess! jess! -only you could lose something strapped to your wrist. i should've taken it off you. don't go in that shed again. do you understand?

come here. -how long do we have to hold it like this for? until we hear that wood pigeon again. i gave your watch to my brother. oh, so i won't ever get it back, then? no. -he likes it. wasn't mine anyway. it was my dad's. is he pissed off with you? he's dead. -oh. right. how did he die? mowing the lawn. it wasn't the mowing that did it, you idiot. -he had a thing called an aneurysm. a little vein in his head popped, and that was that. he just, sort of, fell to the ground and the lawnmower kept going and tipped up and... into the fence and made this really loud noise as if it was hungry or something. it kept going "rrrr," until they switched it off. jesus! -i hope my veins don't pop. me, too. my brother said you can kill someone with one punch. really? yeah. -if you hit 'em in the nose, their bone goes up through their brain and kills 'em. wow! has he ever killed anyone like that? no. he could if he wanted to, though. -he's pretty skill at everything. do you like him? well, yeah, course i do. he's my brother, isn't he? what about your dad? -my dad? no. he pissed off before i was born. then my mum met colin, the bloke with the big hair? he owns the care home, so we all live there. -it's alright, i suppose. but he lives in spain, so my mum's always over there with him. she gets tons of duty-free and stuff, which is kind of skill, cos it's mostly just me and lawrence. we get to do what we want, muck about. there's no one to tell us off. -seriously, though, parents... you're pretty much better off without 'em. that's what i say. colonel trautman. yeah? -not including the bit about losing my dad's watch, this has been my best day of all time. oh! we've scabbed. o my god, i've come to say thank you for your love today. thank you for my family and all the friends you give to me. -guard me in the dark of night and in the morning, send your light. amen. he's been lying, mary. he's confused. he's trying to be a good samaritan. -you've had more than your share of loss in life, and none of us wants to see you lose your son to outsiders, but you must speak with him now. warn him. let him know that the path he is on can lead only to misery, not just for himself but for all of you. there's a group meeting tomorrow. i thought it might do him good to come along, get him back on track. -could you get him out of school? of course. i'll make sure he's ready. well... good night, mary. and the lord must greatly resent the attempt to pursue a double life that goes hand in hand with the world and presuming to be fully brethren at the same time. -hear, hear. god is faithful, who has called us into the fellowship of his son. it works out that way, instead of being enticed. god doesn't entice anybody into evil. we're enticed, led astray, by our own flesh, according to the scripture. -oi, you! come back! come on, then! oi, you! come back! -see ya! my father won't send us to your school. he said the pupils are a bad influence. is it true, brother william? i suppose so. -what are you looking at? well, you'll be wearing this stuff one day, mate. thank you for taking him, joshua. we all need a little guidance from time to time. i'd hoped he might see me as a kind of father figure. you were hungry. -yes, very. well, i'd better be going. good night, mary. good night. good night. -what was he saying? come with me. he thought you were great. really, he did. next! -where have you been, eh? if you didn't wanna make this film, you should've said, rather than leaving me on my own covered in ketchup! we're blood brothers, or have you not remembered? i had to go to a meeting! it's our religion! -oh, my itchy blue beard. they made me go and it was all day! i'm not supposed to be your friend. what's wrong with me? i'm plymouth brethren. -what is that supposed to mean? it's our religion. bollocks, will! it's true. if they find out we're friends, -i'll be in the worst trouble ever. i didn't forget, lee carter. they made me go. i swear it, on my heart! i'm not allowed to make the film with you any more. -it's forbidden. well, i didn't wanna make it with you, anyway. you, er, left your alarm clock in my locker. you'd better go and get it. ok. -son of rambo, say, hello, to your new flying dog. did you make this?

i just don't think i'm ready for a relationship, tyler. i know. i just want you to be ok. more than anything i want for us, i want that for you. -come here. it's ok. have you talked to mom? i keep trying to reach her, but she's not picking up, at least not for me. yeah, not for me either. -let me be the one to kick holly out of our lives once and for all. sarah, holly's not going anywhere. nor do i want her to. i hope you don't think what happened last night changes anything. it changes everything. -you can't still be planning to go into business with that woman. i am. she won't be satisfied until she has destroyed everything we've created here. don't be fooled, tommy. this whole nightmare is because of her. -sarah, there is enough blame to go around. is that a dig at me? we lied. dad lied. in fact, right now, holly's probably the most honest one of us all. -you can't be that naive. i already told you! i didn't start this winery for you or mom. all right? i did this for me. -building something for myself. that was before the horror show landed on my lap! look, it landed in our laps. you want to control everything. god, you just thrive off of control. -but this is out of your hands. spare me, tommy, ok? i already pay for therapy, i really don't need your amateur psychoanalysis. just let it go. ok. -well, clearly i'm the only one who still gives a damn about ojai, so you'll understand that i have work to do. excuse me. i'm looking for holly harper. she's not in her office. i don't know where she... -do i know you? no, i don't think so. i'm her daughter, rebecca. right. i thought you'd look more like your mom. -i'm sarah walker. it's nice to meet you. you too. so... holly? -oh, um... i have no idea where she is. ok. thanks. sorry. -rebecca. um... do you have a minute? could i talk to you? yeah, sure. -hey, becca. where you been? i stopped by ojai today. i wanted to check out your new digs. you did? -yeah. i got the address from some papers you had lying around. thought i'd surprise you. well, i'm sorry that i missed you. i was out meeting with a distributor and i didn't want to drive all the way back to the office. -so, um, would you like me to make lunch for both of us? no. i don't really have an appetite right now. i met some people there. at ojai. -like sarah. mom, do you remember that christmas, when i was eight and i had my tonsils taken out? and then after the surgery, your friend bill came by to visit. and he gave me that doll with the long red hair. did bill really think that a doll could make up for abandoning me? -what was it, a "sorry for being a deadbeat dad" gift? no. please. let me explain. there's an explanation for why you lied to me for 20 years? -you said that bill was your friend and left out the part about him being your boyfriend for two decades and my father! honey. oh, god. it is complicated. it seems pretty simple to me, mom. -you were willing to be sloppy seconds for some rich jerk with a wife and kids. my dad didn't want to fess up to a bastard child with his mistress because he didn't want to risk his norman rockwell life. no. i know that you're angry, but you need to hear me through. why? -it's too late to do anything about it. he's dead! yes, but... but you... how much of it is mine? what? -the money that william walker left you. how much of it is mine? i put two million dollars in a trust in your name. and it will be yours when you're 25. well, i guess that's better than some stupid doll. -hey. dude, i am so screwed. i'm so glad it's you and not my mom. or my brothers. or my sister. -or indeed my half-sister. could my life get any more complicated? what's up? did you even hear what i said? a countdown clock. -dan silk is counting out the days until i come out on his frigging website. "chad berry. come out, come out, wherever you are. " that son of a bitch. what i can't figure out is why is this guy gunning for me? oh, no. -you called him. yes. yes, i did. i thought i could convince him to leave you alone. you think you're the first lawyer to try and scare this asswipe? -he makes his living from screwing with people's lives. you just egged him on! you promised you wouldn't do anything. i come from a line of people who are incapable of leaving well enough alone. if you had any respect for how important my career is to me, you would have listened and not gone behind my back. -you're right. you're absolutely right. i'm sorry. i am sorry. so... where do we go from here? -i'll tell you where we won't go. out to the movies, out to dinner, shopping, hiking, the gym. i'm all for cutting out the gym. no, the shipment was for 1,400. not 14. -look, just deal with it, ok? do you have any idea what you have done to my life and to rebecca's? what i've done? are you serious? my god! -as a mother, how could you be that cruel? my daughter is crushed. her whole identity, everything that we had, our relationship has been decimated. and all for what? out of spite? -so that you could get even with me? but i just told her the truth. i was planning on telling her everything on my timetable. in my way. it was not your place. -my place? oh, you are unbelievable. it wasn't your place to have an affair with a married man. it wasn't your place to have my father's child. it certainly wasn't your place to come crawling out of the woodwork and demand a piece of our family business! -but none of that stopped you, did it? you've done nothing but cause my family pain. so if your perfect little world has come crashing down around you because the truth has come out, you know what? join the damn club! i let you treat me like dirt because i love and respected your father. -but i am done treating you with any measure of civility. is that a threat? you bet your ass it's a threat. and you? i trusted you. -i had to do what was best for my family. don't you ever call me again. i'm sorry you feel that way. not sorry enough. what are you reading? -seeing with serenity: how to cope with what life deals you. i took a trip to the self-help section at the bookstore. so far, it's just pages and pages of vague platitudes. mom, you've been avoiding my calls. -i didn't know what i wanted to say. i wish i could turn back the clock and make a different decision. but i can't. i know. you seem angrier at me than kevin or tommy. -am i wrong? probably not. you hold me to a different standard than anyone else. that's not fair. yes. -you're right, it's not fair. i just always felt this connection with you. you raise a boy and you don't expect them to tell you anything. you're lucky if they acknowledge you on their way out the door. but you always confided in me. -i felt like you trusted me to handle whatever came along. i never had that relationship with my mother. i always thought i had it with you. mom, we do have that relationship. the last thing in the world i wanted to do was hurt you. -i know. but that doesn't mean you didn't. justin. i get the feeling you're not here to see me. no, i'm not. -is rebecca here? rebecca, this is justin. justin walker. so you're one of them? his family? -yeah. i got it, mom. ok. if you're expecting tears from me, you can forget it. i'm not expecting anything. -i just wanted to meet you. well, i'm here. i'm real. you can even touch me. uh... you want to walk? -ok. it's so bizarre. we live, like, 15 minutes away. in i.a., that's practically like being neighbors. where did you go to school? -i started at la salle. swanky. i got kicked out junior year and i finished up at san marino. what about you? marshall. -i think we played you in football. i didn't play football. oh, that's good. i hate it. marshall... -did you know a carter espen? oh, god. totally. he used to date this girl, rebecca. yep, that was me. -ok, i'm officially freaked out now. i mean, what if we had met and? what if we? oh, the greek tragedy of it all. so, what do you do? -presently, not much. i'm a vet. i was in afghanistan. wow. afghanistan. -that must've been intense. yeah, it was. so you and carter? i can't believe that. we really didn't know each other well at all. -garys desk not a bad neighborhood, e. and you're relatively close to the house of wax. you got a jiffy lube right across the street. and if you had a hard day, you're only a few steps away from a $50 blowjob. -please, we passed $50 10 blocks ago. what do you need an office for anyway? i don't get it. you didn't get the concept of having a job till you were 25, so i wouldn't expect you to. if it's my place that's not doing it for you, we can make some modifications, make the environment more work-friendly. -i appreciate that. the only modification that would work would be having you move out. why, are we distracting? no, having turtle blow bong hits in my face when i'm trying to read a script is motivating. this is the building? -shut up and get in there. jesus christ. what the hell? i guess you don't like it? well, it doesn't exactly scream "i'm vincent chase's manager. " -no. it screams "i'm johnny chase's." why do i gotta get abused when we're trying to abuse him? it's just for a laugh. this is gonna be your desk? -yeah, for now. no no. a working man needs a real desk, a sturdy desk. one that can support a good fuck. well, this office isn't for show. -and it's not for fucking. it's so i can get shit done. like what? what you got to do that's so pressing? i am kind of booked till walsh hands in his script. -so what you wanna do? sit around and do nothing? you have something else in mind? peter jackson's starting a new gaming division. they're looking to make some talent deals... -big dough, limited exposure. i'll set up a metting with his development guy. maybe i can lock us a video game. sound good? sounds great. -the office still sucks. yeah, it's terrible. come on, guys. let's leave my high-powered manager so he can earn us some money. later, e. -what are we gonna do all day? we'll figure it out. big day today, people! the gold standard's golden girl, miss mary j. blige, is coming in todayfor her annual make-me-understand- what-i-pay-you-people-for meeting, so we'd better be ready. chris! -i'm ready, ari. bradley! wearing my best tie. great, zip up that fly. it's jeff. -i'm sorry. from the side, you know... don't worry about it. you and your bro ready for mary j.? we are. -but listen, just a heads up: my brother and i have been having some personal problems. does it have anything to do with her? no. then it has nothing to do with me. -you're absolutely right. but you know how emotional jim can be. so, look, if he comes bugging you with this, just ignore him. let's hope he doesn't come bugging me. yeah. -let's hope. did mary j. confirm? six times, one for each grammy. what's that smell? it's issey miyake, her favorite scent. -i'm wearing it as a subtle subliminal show of our support. what else you got? jim jensen's in your office. oh, jesus christ, his brother just ambushed me. i guess there's some kind of rift with the jensen boys. -be careful in there. careful? you know multiples freak me out. can gays have multiples, lloyd? not the day for this. -how's it going with the baby bro? okay, he's 27 seconds older than me. and he's a lowlife slimy piece of cunt shit. yes, well, you know how siblings can be, right? oh, you have a brother? -i do. and a whore of a sister, so i can relate to the sibling squabblings. i need you to fire him. i need positivity today. but, i can't work in the same building with him. -jeter and a-rod let their dicks fly in the same locker room and they hate each other. jim, listen to me. just man the fuck up, okay? we got mary j. coming in today. it's time to heed the woman's lyrics... -"no more drama. " matt dravitski's on the phone. who's matt dravitski? vp of peter jackson's company. do i talk to vps? -he says he's calling because e called him and said vince wants to work with peter. jim, go back to work. go. and don't ask to see her tatts like you did with angelina. look at this sweet piece, vince. -it's perfect. e will love it. can i go on record and say that when i get an office i want my gift to be a plasma? can i go on the record and say by the time you get an office, plasmas will have gone the way of the eight-track? -excuse me, miss. can you tell me a little something about this desk? that's an amazing piece with a lot of history. you've got a good eye. well, thank you. -do you know what kind of weight this can support? this is a signed majorell built in the 1930s. mickey rooney sat at this desk in breakfast at tiffany's. that's ironic. we want it so another small irishman can sit at it. -is this a gift? yeah. that's very thoughtful. how thoughtful? $42,000. -get a 100-inch plasma for that, vin. this is an investment, though. this desk will appreciate like a piece of art. and robert de niro owned that desk. really? -scorsese gave it to him as a gift after new york, new york bombed. it was the only thing that survived after his malibu home went up in flames. is this true? cross my heart and hope to die. i'm sold. -i wonder if de niro ever fucked on this desk. i don't know. why don't you lean over and sniff it for ball wax? come on. you have to ruin the desk for me? -i'm sorry, vin. vince, i am so embarrassed, but apparently a buyer came in yesterday and someone forgot to put the sold tag out. you're kidding? i feel awful. we have another great desk that just came in. -it's a rustic piece. yeah, de niro own that one? i'm really sorry. is there any way to call the buyer and maybe offer him a little more? we really want the desk. -i'm sorry, i couldn't. we're supposed to respect the privacy of our clients. can you respect my poor little friend sitting at a fold-up table in his sad little office? it was gary busey. shit! -like the new office number, e. you know it spells 274-cock. it does not. it doesn't, but i made you look. why are you so out of breath? -are you christening the place with a nice midday jerk? stop fantasizing. what do you want? you call peter jackson's company? yeah, how'd you know? -'cause they called me. why'd they call you? because they don't know who the fuck you are. i told them i was vincent chase's manager. well, there are people outside your office right now that will claim to be lady di. -that don't make it true. whatever. this is true, you jerk-off. your staff is ready, ari. listen, we got a great system going. -just 'cause you got 80 square feet of office space doesn't mean you can go and fuck it up. and what system is that? just so i'm clear. well, let's see, people call me, then i call you. you tell vince what i tell you. -vince tells you what to tell me. you're like a... a ventriloquist in a dummy's body. whatever. i can make and take my own meetings. -well, listen, if you want people to call you back, may i suggest that you get a van with a large bullhorn on the top, drive around hollywood announcing that after three years of hibernating in vincent chase's ass, eric murphy has come out to play-ee-ay? all right! let's do this, everybody! everyone feeling good? -yes! yeah! great! not everyone. all right! -i am not ari gold today, i am the queen of hip-hop soul. i have sold 65 million more records than all of you combined. impress me. go. a broadway musical based on her alter ego brook lynn. -miss blige could produce, star and direct. so you want to keep her on the stage for nine months and out of the recording studio? it's a really good idea. mention that to her and i'll kill both of you. next. -paramount has a movie about con artists. it's an excellent script, very realistic. yeah, he knows since he's a pretty big con artist himself. you have something productive to say? i'm sorry, i'm just having trouble concentrating. -well, jim, this isn't the place. what? am i embarrassing you? no, you're embarrassing yourself. actually, no one can tell you two apart, so you're both being embarrassed. -i told you, i can't work with him. what? are you gonna quit? no, i told him to fire you. what? -yeah, that's right, scumbag. okay, you know what? i apologized to you. but when you go after my livelihood... hey, assholes! -fuck your livelihood! fuck you! fuck you! fuck me? ! -you want some? put them both in my office when it's done. remind me to sell this as a reality show. sounds too easy is all i'm saying. the guy said he'd be happy to sell me the desk. -let's just get in and out. no small talk. busey scares me. you sure there's not another desk? this is the desk we're getting. -just don't small talk, okay? johnny? i like talking to busey. the tortoise, the hare and the millionaire. it is so good to see you guys. -i've had walking pneumonia for the past couple of weeks. haven't had any guests. but for the beginning of new guests, you are the best. come on in. come on. -come on. so, you've come to acquire my newly-acquired desk. it's for e as a gift. yeah, he's got a sweet new office and it'll complement the place perfectly. there's no way i'm gonna part with that desk. -but, gary, you said on the phone... that phone call was two years ago, mr. vince. gary, my brother is prepared to pay whatever he's got to pay to get that desk. easy, johnny, easy. yes, i am willing to pay, gary, but let's be reasonable. -you paid 42, i'll give you 50. money will bury you, vince. here, sit down. okay, all right. let's find harmony in this circle. -good. why are you so quiet? you scare me, gary. it's your reflection in the mirror that scares you, turtle. what exactly do you want? -i'm planning a series of portraits and i've chosen my next subject. you want to paint me? no. you don't know pain. i don't follow. -drama, i've chosen you. you want to paint me? no, i want to paint on you. now i don't follow. this is a statement of enlightened photography: -the unseen faces of the familiar. i painted george hamilton white. i've taken 230 ibs off dom delouise by painting him with vertical stripes. with you, i will paint you to bring out your beauty and your truth. good luck. -so what do you say, johnny? i don't know, bro. i got tiny pores. it could suffocate me. only denial will suffocate you. -come on, drama. it's for e. it's for e. and for immortality. "daily variety" ad sales, can i help you? -hi. i'd like to take out an ad in tomorrow's paper announcing my company. okay, no problem. i need the name of your business. the murphy group. -the murphy group. yeah, you like that? it's okay. what do you do? i represent vincent chase. -i liked aquaman. cool. but according to the sag database, ari gold represents vincent chase. well, i'm his manager. -oh, that's nice. who else do you represent? just vince. so why the group? i thought it sounded good. -what, it doesn't? if there was a group it might. well, whatever. i'm gonna go with the group. what do you want the ad to say? -"the murphy group is proud to be representing vincent chase. " okay, but we need confirmation that you actually manage vincent chase before we can use his name. what kind of confirmation? cient management papers, perhaps. i don't have those. -you represent him with no papers? yes. do you think that's smart? look, what else can i do to confirm? you can have ari gold's office call us, 'cause we know who he is. -look, whatever. you know what? i'll get some papers or something, thank you. freak. shut the fuck up! -i've heard enough out of both of you today. lloyd, go. you guys shod've had this out in the carpool in. we don't carpool. we live on opposite sides of town. -really? 'cause i would've pictured you two living in the same condo together in, like, bunk beds with a little racecar... shut up! don't say another word! pretend like you're afraid of me, okay? -because i'm feeling very insecure right now. i'm trying to understand what i did wrong to allow you two to fuck with my focus on a day when i need to be on my a game. on a day, when, if i'm not, we could see m. j. hip and hop her way back to i.c.m. and if that were to happen, best case, you two are managers in the valley. worst case, you're a freak show performing at the santa monica pier. -now, with that in mind, tell me why in god's name is this happening? ! he fucked my wife, ari. he did not! you... -you did? you fucked his wife? as you? what? did you pretend to be him? -or did she actually fuck you thinking you were you? you think this is funny? no! i think it's disgusting. i'm just... -i'm trying to figure out why she did that. i mean, if i were to cheat on my wife it would be with like a, you know, busty blonde or an asian with pointy nipples. but an exact fucking replica... stop, ari. ari, we get it, okay? -we're sorry and we will work it out. there's nothing to work out. see what i'm dealing with? you see this? shut up, shut up. -lloyd! accounting just brought this up. all right. look, as repulsed as i am by the fact that you fucked your twin brother's wife, it's not my problem. fucking your coworker's wife... -that is. but now i've got a bigger problem. please tell me that you are jeff. i'm jim. how can anyone tell you two apart? -i wear a windsor knot. what does it matter? ! has outearned you... significantly for the past three years. so, you won't fire him? -buddy, listen to me. i run a business here, not the u.n. clearly, you two will never be able to work together again. so, what? you're gonna fire me? -you're leaving me no choice. you know what? fuck you! and fuck you! hey, you did what you had to do. -it's about the numbers... get out of my face. go back to work. you make me sick. the curse of the multiples is over. -bring a power bar so i can carb up for m. j. please, gary, do you have to throw it at me? you want him in close, working you over with brushes? we'll get to the details later. keep your eyes straight, please. -don't look at the paint. the paint will be on you soon. looking good, johnny. i just talked to the store, e will have the desk this afternoon. yeah, great. -well, he better love it or you're paying for my therapy. therapy will let you down. this... is your therapy. what do you mean you need confirmation? you are the confirmation. -you need to tell mr. chase that the screen actor's guild requires him to update his forms. update his forms? he doesn't open his mail! sir, please calm down. you know what? -forget it. i'll call back. tell me you're not the idiot that's been calling "variety" trying to take out an ad. this isn't happening. -you really think if someone calls the press and throws vince's name i'm not gonna hear about it? i'm not trying to keep it a secret. i'm trying to get my name out there. by taking out an ad? -you're the fucking roto-rooter man? you want your name out there, you call me. now that i have you on the phone, i'd like my name out there a little bit. ask me nicely. -go to "variety,". ask for jackie stone. she'll be there till 4:00. she'll do a press release on you, ask you a couple of questions, write a few sentences. will take you 20 minutes tops and it won't cost you a dime. -thanks, shauna. where's my fucking kid? he threw up on me. relax, christy. i'm sure he's not the first guy to puke on you. -it's time, ari! it's time! calm, lloyd. miss mary j. blige just got off the elevator. be cool, lloyd, be cool. -i can't be cool. feel my beating heart. she's a chick, lloyd. there may be hope for you yet. hey. -there she is. how are you? good, how are you? i'm great. you look stunning. -thank you. you pick out that suit just for me? actually, my wife did. you like? you smell nice. -everyone, this is miss mary j. blige! hey! thank you. i'm excited to be here. thank you. -let's get started. let's do it. ari, where's jim? hey, fellas. we just got the message. -what's the problem? this thing will never get up to that office. no way. the stairwell is too narrow and it won't fit in the elevator. you can't just jack it up through the window? -turtle, we couldn't fit you through that window. what are you, a smurf? that's funny, wiseass. i thought so. sorry, vince. -it's a one-piece desk. the only way you getting that bad boy up there is if you cut a hole in the roof and helicopter it in. how much would that cost? it's a joke, smurf. any other suggestions? -return the desk and get your money back. man, it's too nice for this shithole, anyway. so you haven't had an office until now? i really haven't needed one. we've had so much space at vince's house, but now we're all living in a small condo, so... -you guys live together? but it's not like that. we've been friends since we were kids. we're like brothers. probably don't need to write that down though. -oh no, it's an interesting story. maybe we could do something bigger... a little profile. do you have time for a photo? yeah, sure. -i didn't even know that you knew jim. i know all my people, ari. and jim's really sweet. did you know he sends a personal handwritten note out with every script? i did not know that, no. -it's a nice touch. you know what? we're gonna get jeff calligraphy lessons and now he's gonna be the one that's sweet to you. no, please. keep jeff away from me. -he's weird and he's always staring at my ass. jeff? no, he has a lazy eye. that's probably what you're seeing. either way, i like jim. -did you really have to fire him? unfortunately, i did, yeah. why? what happened? you... -the less you know, the better, believe me. if i were to tell you all the details, it would sicken you. sounds bad. it is, it is. believe me, i take no great pleasure in firing anyone, but... -especially someone that's had such a positive impact on you. anyway, ari, thank you. good stuff in there today. yes, you too... hey, mary j. -hey, jim, how you doing? let's go back to the office. wait wait. no no no! did he tell you that he fired me? -listen, you don't have to air out your dirty laundry here. oh, would that be the my-brother-fucks-my-wife- and-because-he-earns more-for-you you-fire-me dirty laundry, asshole? one love, mary. you're an animal, ari. did you see m.j. off? -i saw her off, all right, lloyd. off to i.c.m. ari, you got it right. what the hell? how can one embryo produce two fucking losers? -what's the problem? the problem is... you're a disgusting mutant. now go reconjoin with your brother on the unemployment line! i don't know what you're freaking out about, e. -i went in there to write a few sentences, and they ambushed me with a whole expose. i wasn't ready for it. hit "refresh," turtle. nothing. the new "variety" comes up at 10:00 p.m. -yeah, well, it's 9:59 and it's not up yet. hit "refresh." relax, e. it's just a little press. it's his first real press, he's nervous. -yeah, i remember my first piece of press... back stage west. i couldn't get an audition to save my life until my groundbreaking role as lenny. headline on page 14 read "of mice and the man known as johnny chase." -did they dub you "candlelight dinner theater's biggest and best retard"? "refresh," turtle. it's up. they got a picture, e. good photo. -you look cute. what's the headline say? "the new nepotism in hollywood. " oh, jesus christ. you know, i knew it! -i knew it! i'm so... i'm so pissed right now. sorry, e. what's wrong with nepotism? -hey, vince, are you coming? who's that? "a new trend is infiltrating "the already-impenetrable popular table of hollywood. " you already read this. -it sounds worse on real paper. now the whole city's reading it. "eric murphy has paved the way for those like casey cobb, childhood friend of jessica simpson, to come and surf the wave of celebrity in hopes of becoming a permanent fixture in the business of the business." you're paving the way, that's a plus. who cares, e, huh? -yeah, who cares? no press is bad press. where are we going? to cheer you up. i just want to get back in the office, figure out a way to repair the damage. -you're gonna need a new desk to repair the damages. we got you a new desk. you got me a desk? this is it. you like? -yeah, i love it. it's never gonna fit in my office. actually, e, it already does. this is your office, e. and that's mine over there. -and mine's over there. and i got one too, just in case we miss you. we can all hang. building a sick lounge out there with a huge huge plasma. -how much was this place, vince? e, you can't put a price on comfort. just enjoy it. thanks, vince. now i feel really worthless. -speaking. hey, peter jackson calling from new zealand. hi. thanks for getting back to me. would have called you yesterday, but no one down here knew who the hell you were. -eric murphy... now you're not related to eddie by any chance? well, i'm not. just a little wind-up, mate. look, i saw the "variety" article. yeah? -hey, don't worry. a little media bashing every now and again keeps us all honest. but i'll tell you something about ari gold: there's only one thing a cretin like that understands and that's an airborne telephone right between the eyes. anyway, it's good to know that those of us that want to be in the vincent chase business have got a legitimate manager to talk to. -thank you. so, look, i'm actually kind of busy. so what exactly do you want? i wanted to talk to you about your gaming company. well, i'm actually gonna be in the states next week. -why don't we have your assistant call my assistant and then decide what to do from there? how does that sound? great. thank you. cheers. -what was that? i think i'm gonna need an assistant. i'm still waiting, shawn. okay, i'm gonna take your pointy, sad-faced guy for my horsey guy. stop, stop. -what is this piece called? i call him dwight. what is this one called? b.a. baracus. look, shawn, if you're gonna play this game, you're gonna have to learn what the pieces are called. -what if i don't wanna play this game? chess is important. it's about strategy. it's about anticipating your opponent's next moves. this game is an allegory for life. -an alle-what? look, when you're on the force, you're gonna have to take in huge amounts of information. alibis, motives, witness statements. and trust me. if you wanna win, this is not stuff that you're gonna make up as you go. -do you understand? and i want you to focus and get serious. what? what are you trying to say? i can't remember what it's called. -what did i just... never mind. i remember. checkmate. bye, dad. -tell me. is he cheating on me? jury's still out. do you have something that he's touched recently? i have the receipt from lunch. -i'm sensing that he always takes you out for lunch. that he never pays with a credit card. always cash. that's right. i'm also sensing that you can only call him at the office or on his cell phone. -never, ever at home? that's dead on. you must get goosebumps being around him. oh, i get something. daphne, i have good news and bad news. -the good news is he's not seeing someone else. the bad news... he's married. what? are you sure? -just tell him a friend told you he was married and his face will tell you the rest. but... when the mourning period is over, this is my friend gus's card. he's a good listener, and he's willing to change everything about himself for a girl. shawn, i do not... no, no. you keep that. -please. shawn, we've reached a certain level of success. if you wanna keep doing these "is my boyfriend cheating on me" cases, you're gonna have to do them without me. gus, you continue to underestimate me. i'll have you know that right now, as we speak, we're on our way to the office to meet with two gentlemen named shockley and goddard -who have a very big case for us. so what are we talkin'? robbery? missing persons? they want us to look into the serious matter of... -well, that actually wasn't in the e-mail. so how do you know it was real? they used all caps, gus. the meeting's at 2:00. we better hurry. -it's 2:18. well, somebody had to have the belgian chocolate fondue. didn't they? that was you, shawn. well played, sir. -just let me do the talking. i don't want you to scare them off with your non sequitur ridiculousness. please tell me you're not mr. shockley and mr. goddard. # i know you know # # that i'm not telling the truth # # i know you know # # they just don't have any proof # # embrace the deception? -# # learn how to bend # # your worst inhibitions # # tend to psych you out in the end # okay, before one of us goes all crazy and demands the other one apologize for taking a case from a couple grade schoolers, let's just hear them out. what can we do for you, gentlemen? one of our teachers is a murderer. okay, i'm sorry. -please, continue. he's killed before. and in two days, he's gonna kill again. and the cops don't listen to us 'cause we're kids. okay, well, since we're here, and we don't have another meeting for... -a week, which one of your teachers is going to do this terrible thing? we don't know. who's been murdered? we don't know. who's the next victim? -we don't know. perfect. i have no more questions. shawn. i got nothing. -can we just start from the top? yes. that's a great idea. well, shock and i go to meitner, and... the meitner school for gifted students? -these kids are geniuses. technically, near genius. the school has some pretty cool stuff. so we broke in late at night. say no more. -fight club. no, to hack into a space probe and see if we could get it to blink a word in old morse code. which word? boobs. boobs. -you went from all that trouble just to get some nasa techs to scratch their heads? yeah. come on, gus. that's kinda funny. -while reconfiguring the receiver, we accidentally tapped into a cell phone call being made from the meitner campus. it was staticky. but we heard a deep, gravelly voice talking to their cousin. someone named muriel. and you want us to figure out why someone would name their kid muriel? -the voice said something like, "i'm not gonna be pushed into a corner again." are you sure it wasn't dirty dancing? and then we also heard verbatim "if i have to, i'll kill him. "it won't be my first time. -by wednesday, he's a goner." a goner? it may have been james cagney. shawn, can i have a minute? we're taking this case. -you want to take this case? it's a chance to go undercover in high school a la 21 jump street. obviously, i'm johnny depp. sadly, you can only pass for holly robinson. why can't i be richard grieco? -why would you want to be richard grieco? isn't this the part where you say, "there ain't no case here, shawn." just a couple kids crying wolf. i don't sound like richard roundtree, shawn. why are you so eager? -same as you. i was a king in high school. just because you carried a scepter doesn't make you a king. that's because i was in macbeth. dude, you played banquo's kid. -you guys, can you help us? is a lizard's skin dry and cracked? we believe that it is. guess what today is. it's not one of those touchy-feely holidays invented by card companies to goad me into buying a present for somebody i couldn't care less about, is it? -no, today's our anniversary. come again? it's been one year to the day that i came to santa barbara and we got partnered up. i didn't get you a present. i don't want a present. -that's what all women say. but believe me, deep down, you want a present. my soon-to-be ex-wife always hated what i gave her. what did you give her? cash, mostly. -anyway, this anniversary means that my one-year probation period is over. so what i want, that is, what would be good, what i'm trying to say is... i think i'm entitled to be primary on a case. how late are the shops open tonight? chief vick says molding young officers is your duty. -and she's already approved this. now give me a case. fine. let's see. homicide. -that's a bit messy for your first time. hi-tech burglary. you need a lot of forensics for that one. bake sale slap fight. seems easy, but believe me, i worked one once. -had to call in s.w.a.t. oh, come on. all right. couple kids came in complaing about one of the teachers. are you sure there's nothing of lower priority for me to handle? -lesson number one, o'hara. there are no small cases, only small detectives. let's roll. ah, high school. you know, i've always wanted to prove that one of our teachers was a monster. -you remember our freshman music teacher, mrs. jorgenstorm? she was a nightbreed. she was not. she used to date craig sheffer. she did not. -she wore a ton of make-up and lived in a cemetery. next to a cemetery. so she claimed. if i remember correctly, you were always too afraid to follow her home. so any leads yet? -hold it there, doogie. first things first. where do i get a juice box? and does it come in grape-a-licious? shouldn't you be doing psychic stuff? -someone could be killed in the next 48 hours. possibly one of us. if you're so smart, why don't you solve the thing? midterms? duh. -i need to maintain my g.p.a. to keep my scholarship stipend. all right, all right, all right. clearly, we have to get inside. what's our cover gonna be? wait, i've got it. -you're the preppy jerk who's dating the girl i'm in love with. i'm the lonely cafeteria guy who mows lawns and has a heart of gold. let it go, shawn. you can't pass for a teenager. yeah, he's right. -you got rhytids around the eyes. what did he just say to me? crow's feet. do you squint or make funny faces a lot? you guys are all nuts. -if i grew my hair out, raised my voice an octave, i could... stop, shawn. i've already worked it out. we're documentarians working on a new film called "teeniuses in the mix". teeniuses? -yes. really, dude? you've got teeniuses right on the tip of your tongue? in the mix. we already got your cover story. -personally, i'm not sure that i see the merits of a class in paranormal studies, but we do let the students choose one guest instructor a semester. c. everett koop was crushed that he didn't get it. what is this? like a study hall? oh, no. -recess. does it smell like teen spirit in here? so tell me, headmaster, can a former applicant request his or her file? oh, no. why? -oh, for the general public's general welfare. you know, generally. debbie will give you the forms you'll need to sign. an application, gus? just curious. -you applied to this school back in the day. didn't you? and you didn't tell me about it. who can remember that far back? w-whoa, is that why you cried for a month when we were ten? -because they rejected you? get down. excuse me. o'hara. lesson number two. -cops don't wait in line. they go straight to the front. even at starbucks. hi, spbd. can i please get the class schedules for these students? -thank you. lesson number three. don't say "please", don't say "thank you," and definitely don't say "hi." spirit squad auditions were over ten years ago. you're an authority figure. -act like it. ever heard "you catch more flies with honey"? lesson number four. don't quote cornpone country bumpkin sayings to your commanding officer. how many lessons are there? -638. welcome to the meitner school for gifted children. how may we... it's a miracle. thank god, you're all right. -we heard a cop named lassie died. jules, tell me you got the flowers. lassie three was a retired police dog. from the obit, it's amazing what you two had in common. strong, dedicated, loyal. -bouts with ringworm. expressive eyes. goes like this after he poops. seriously, are you guys working my case? case? -what case? no, no, no, no. they've been after me for a while to teach a class. what do we say? oh! -right. stay out of our way and don't get involved, spencer. this place is overwhelming. where do we even start? easy. -who were the eyes and ears of dufman elementary? mr. graves, the custodian. we had a special bond. custodians have access to the building at night. he could be our bad guy. -if he has a deep and gravelly voice, he's el suspecto primero. how you doing? i'm mopping up vomit. how do you think i'm doing? by the way, those mats in front of the doors are to rub your shoes on. -thanks for the extra work. sorry about that. uh, i'm shawn spencer, psychic lecturer. and i sense that something is amiss in your universe. yeah, my lumbago's flaring up. -nope, not that. something a little more out of the ordinary... something... anything? can't you just tell me what you're looking for? did something happen here on friday night? -nope. nothing springs to mind. i can sense you're lying. the spirits tell me that your little pants are on fire. fine. -i found this weird gold pin when i had to work late friday night. when i mopped this area, no pin. but when i circled back to wax, there it was. so you're saying it got here in the middle of the night? who do i look like? -jake and the fatman? all i know is that after two weeks in the lost and found, it's mine. legit. where is this lost and found? who loses a microscope and doesn't come looking for it? -ear infection medicines. inhalers. what appears to be 168 pairs of hideous eyeglasses. s.x.y. apparently, our perp is so sexy, he felt the need. to die cast it onto steel and wear it on his lapel. -that's not an s. that's the integral sign in calculus for the area under the curve xy. whoever was skulking around here after hours must be a math teacher. how many math teachers work here? four or five tops? -18. it's all right. i have a plan. it's a scary one. we'll have to rely on all our animal instincts. -we... are going to the teachers' lounge. try to blend in. act natural. how 'bout these kids today, huh? oh, my god, look at this selection of donuts. -this is pathetic. who left a tenth? i wanna know how that makes sense. you... shawn, focus. -math teacher. there's no math teachers here. how do you know? that guy's been wearing goggles. he's clearly a chem lab teacher. -violin hickey. music teacher. however, a gym teacher could be more our speed. hey, buddy. uh, we're new here. -and we were told to see a math teacher specializing in calculus. professor hahn handles all remedial math. that qualifies as remedial. what's calculus? the one with the blocks and the shapes? -do you know where we can find him? you can catch him at the end of the day. he's in my carpool. sweet! gus, this school has a carpool. -answer to our prayers. why? gus managed to get his car impounded. he parked on a statue. i'm contesting the ticket. -here's the thing. we had to take the bus to school today. i accidentally gave myself a wedgy. gus had to sit next to the girl who peed. why are you telling me all of this? -i thought it seemed obvious. can we get a lift home? so must be fun being a gym teacher. you get to play sports all day. i teach gym at a school full of prodigy nerds. -i start off my day by getting 300 notes excusing kids from gym class because of rickets or ibs. i tossed a ball at a student once. he wet his pants. and his parents filed a civil suit against me. professor hahn. -hahn. math teacher, right? yes. are you the new psychic lecturer? that i am. -i'm getting a feeling about you. are you a right said fred fan? are you too sexy for your shirt? excuse me. i'm sensing you're so sexy it hurts. -oh. how'd you find that? hey, moron. right up here. i'm sensing riley may have forgotten because you didn't use the carpool last friday. -wow, that's right. i stayed late. okay, right here. stop right here. deep voice. -missed the carpool on friday. sounds like our guy. now we've just gotta figure out why and how he's gonna kill somebody. and one more thing. if you are late picking me up in the morning, -i will tear your head off. maybe just the how. are you prepared for your psychic seminar? gus, please. any leads? -i'm adapting this into a nancy drew fanfic. i believe whoever's involved is in the vicinity. we made notes for you. bullet points you might wanna try to hit. don't show any fear. -don't split any infinitives. don't dangle your participles. at least not in public. look, if i understood what you guys were saying, i'd still be a virgin. -now, run along. go to class. really? hahn is here. the seminar's open to both students and teachers, gus. -i personally extended hahn an invitation so i can grill him in front of a live studio audience. if he's killed before, i'll get him to confess. how're you gonna interrogate someone and teach a class at the same time? first the carrot, then the stick. you don't even know what that means, do you? -leave me alone. phsysics. the physics of psychics. i'm professor shawn spencer. i will be your psychic ferryman over the river styx. -that's gus. my ferry. hello. each one of us is born with a kernel of what i like to dub paranormalevolance. i, however, was born with an extra normal amount. -two cops to be exact. allow me to demonstrate. congratulations on getting your braces removed. that doesn't mean you're psychic. maybe you're just hyper-observant. -you wear that white sweatshirt everyday. shall i tell the class why? you. you, young man. a little aloe will do wonders for that combination skin. -and perhaps you should use more care while shaving. or, just wait until you can grow facial hair altogether. you could've just smelled my aftershave on the way in. how 'bout a real test? i'll write the answer on the board. -and i'll tell you the question. have at it, young trebek. trebek, i said. this is jeopardy! potent potables. -questions that start with p. the smartass who thinks he's gonna make me look silly. who is this guy? your negativity is really impeding my psychic ability. or you're just a big fraud. -go to the principal's office. wait a sec. get out of here, go. go. go, get out of here. -get out of here. none of you should be friends with him. psst. hahn. professor hahn. -i'm getting something from you. a kind of darkness. yes. i see you clearly. with a target. -i shop at target. sure, but, but, i... i see you on a cell phone with your cousin. plotting, planning. something secret. -yes. yes, i've been planning a... surprise party for my sister-in-law. she's impossible to surprise. that's amazing. -yeah, well, if she's gonna have puppies, she's gonna have puppies. there's nothing we can do about it. look, if you had her fixed like i... do you need something? yes, actually. -well? well, what? well, order me off the phone. you need me to work, and i'm wasting time. that's a nice touch. -i've been reviewing the statement we took from the kids on campus. they said whoever this teacher is, he's already killed once, and he's going to kill again. right. right. it strikes me that it's difficult to solve a crime that hasn't happened yet, so... why don't we focus our attention on the murder that already has? -makes sense. great. these are the case files for every unsolved homicide in the santa barbara area over the last five years. lot of paper cuts there. have fun. -no... i need you to review these and tell me if there are any connections with the meitner faculty. yeah... i'm not gonna do that. you delegate this background stuff all the time. -to me, usually. almost always when i have dinner plans. now... go through these with a fine-tooth comb and tell me what you find. if it's not too much trouble. -o'hara, you are drunk with power. i know! isn't it great? and that amazing demonstration is phsysics at work. it's like thinking of a song, and then, bam! -it's the next tune on the radio. or... or that moment when you know it's right to kiss a girl. that's when you use the power. professor hahn. -i'm still sensing something from... um, professor? call me sensei. how can we harness... uh, uh, uh. -sensei. sensel. yes. how can we harness this power to help us um... kiss girls? -i'll take it from here, shawn. oh, i don't know, gus. now may not be the time to impede their psycho-sexual development. well, maybe you've forgotten that i was the one who took the hottest girl in school to the prom. that's because i told her you were dying. -otherwise, i would have had to pay for the limo myself. let me take this, please. gus, my ferry. thank you, shawn. now, kissing someone for the first time can be tricky business. -i like to employ the kadeem hardison method. when you're on a date... uh, uh, i can sense a question forming in all of your minds. if it's "who is kadeem hardison?", or "how do we ask someone on a date?" put 'em down. listen, it's not your fault. -just look at this class. you're all a bunch of dudes. um, we're girls. that's awkward. i'll cover all the dating stuff in my next seminar. -"puberty : monster or misunderstood friend?" that kid i sent to the office had some weird zit cream on. professor enrico. guster. -burton guster. you interviewed me for admission? math prodigy. i interview people all the time. was this recently? -semi-recent. 20 years ago. but i tap-danced in trochaic tetrameter. made you wanna cry. that rings a bell. -so... visiting the old alma mater? no, i went to public school. really? could've sworn i recommended admission. -either way, i assume a person with your skills ended up at jpl or some kind of think tank? actually, i ended up in pharmaceuticals. you know... curing stuff. well, keep up the good work. -thank you. dude. you didn't even mention magic head. guys, we're freaking out. we're pretty sure professor hahn is our guy. -so turn him in to the cops. not without proof. know anything about him? the only time we see him is when he gets his espresso in the morning before homeroom. there's an espresso bar here on campus? -wait! wasn't hahn involved in that thing? you remember that thing? the thing with the other thing? no, no. -just the first thing from five years ago. when the student attacked the professor? oh, yeah, that could've been hahn. some student attacked hahn and he made sure the headmaster expelled him. who's the student that attacked him? -according to the school computers, the only kid to be expelled in the last ten years was a lester baekeland. what are you doing? getting the plague, apparently. god. babcock, babette, battra something... -baekeland. god. i can see why you wanted to go here, gus. they keep meticulous records of everything just like you. expelled for cheating. -dude, there's a transcript of his hearing. what does it say? the kid claimed hahn busted him for cheating... then tried to extort his scholarship money from him to stay quiet. -hahn denies it. headmaster, of course, sides with the teacher. the kid gets expelled. that means hahn is a blackmailer. maybe he threatened the wrong person this time. -gus? gus. i got in. i applied, and i got in. that means a lot, buddy. -you'd rather stay with your best friend than... you know, have a future. no, shawn. it says, "parents of applicant refused admission." if i'd known i'd gotten in, i would've been ghost. -this place has a direct line to the ivy league. why would my parents turn it down? i don't know... maybe it was just too expensive. i could've gotten financial aid, shawn. -half the kids here are on scholarships with stipends. can we not obsess about this right now? we do have a murder to prevent. i'm not obsessing, shawn. i just found out that the course of my life may have been changed by my parents. -you've seen sliding doors. i most certainly have not. yes, you did. dude, i have not seen sliding doors. it was me, you, and missy isaacs. -what are you talking about? i'm talking about a gwyneth paltrow vehicle that i know i never saw. please. i know you're home. this is my fifth message. -call me back. they're just screening my calls until i've let this go. but it's not gonna happen. gus, let's face it. your parents thought splitting us up at a young age was a mistake. -and i can't say i blame them. for a while, i was your only friend that wasn't imaginary or an action figure of some kind. shawn, if anything, my parents wanted me to stay in public school so that i would stand out compared to people like you. yeah. no holes in that theory. -i don't know which is worse. my parents dodging my calls, or you volunteering me to pick up a murderer first thing in the morning. dude, it is your turn to drive the carpool. what's our plan? today is murder day. -speaking of murder day, is that really what you're wearing? shawn, in about two minutes, we're gonna be in a confined space with a killer. please tell me you have a good reason. of course i have a good reason, gus. this time, it'll be just you, me, and him, and i will totally break him down. -that's hahn's house. or... maybe it'll just be you and me. well, according to our arson investigator, here is our murderer. apparently, there was a slight gas leak in the stove. -overnight, the room fills with natural gas, the coffee pot clicks on in the morning, there's a spark, and ka-boom. no, i'm sensing it was definitely more of a ka-blam. so you're saying this was an accident? arson investigator says there's no sign of foul play. the only time we see him is when he gets his espresso in the morning before homeroom. -wait, i'm having a vision. hahn preferred italian coffee. espresso. why would he be brewing coffee here if he was gonna get his fix in the morning at school? i'm sensing our killer brought the coffee machine here and used it as a detonator after creating the gas leak. -what killer, spencer? our expert says it's an accident. i say murder. it's what drew me to this wretched place. talk to the girl who makes the espresso. -i usually don't do this, but i have a strong sense she'll back this up. hahn had a cup first thing every morning. what do you call those coffee people? they're not... cashiers. -they're not waitresses. barista. gus, if you don't know the answer, don't make up words. dude, hahn was broke. no wonder he's a blackmailer. -the due date for the payment is the same as murder day. coincidence? i think not. it was staticky. but we heard a deep, gravelly voice talking to their cousin. -someone named muriel. we are so on this case now. it's your call, o'hara. either it's an accident and we're done, or it's a homicide, and there's a killer on the loose. i don't buy this accident angle for a second. -those kids practically said this would happen. let's bring them back in for questioning. if you confess now, name your accomplices, i will let the d.a. know that you cooperated and maybe, just maybe, no guarantees. just maybe... -they'll cut you a break. it's terrible. what? am i scared? am i quaking? -no, that was what i call : "lower case mad." you need to be : "upper case mad." those strange kids are in interrogation b. listen, o'hara. -given your slightly, pedestrian performance and the fact that this has now jumped to a straight-up homicide maybe i should take over as lead. but, why? it's my case. which was fine when it was just kids telling tales, but there are certain nuances involved in a murder investigation which -require a more experienced touch. nuances? the chief says i'll learn by being primary. yeah, but... but what? -there was an explosion. i've never had a case with an explosion before. i've had assault and burglary cases. once i even had a murder by thermometer. but i never had an explosion. -come on, haven't you ever pictured yourself trying to out run a fireball down a dark tunnel? no. obviously, due to recent events, we are taking a closer look at everything surrounding the school, including the statement you gave to us. you mean when we predicted someone was going to die today? and they did? -well, that. and... watch your mouth, kid. okay, you're not fooling anybody. we know what's going on here. -what he means is... please tell us again about the phone call you overheard. no. tell us about your relationship with hahn. you little son of a... -lassiter, stop. they're teenagers. we're sorry. lesson 63. do not apologize to the perp. -they're not perps. you don't know that. you two aren't really acquainted with game theory or prisoner's dilemma, are you? he means you two don't really get the good cop bad cop dyad. are you guys, like, together? -no, she's way out of his league. but no ring. given his age, i'm guessing divorced. i... wha... -sorry. what? still can't talk about it. so it's relatively recent then? i'm getting separated. -not divorced. did you ever just listen to her problems, rather than always trying to solve them? no, you had to be the big tough cop, didn't you? you never let her inside. -see this, brainiac? this is what's waiting for you when you turn 18. you're gonna graduate, and get your diploma, and then, bam! we're taking a trip down to the docks. that doesn't look very intimidating with, uh, you know, the one arm. -when did my house become a daycare center? dad, you've been bugging me for months to fix your computer. i finally bring the geek squad in to do it, and now you're gonna give me a hard time? thank you. hahn had someone's juvenile record. -maybe he dug up something on our killer's past, which means we have to hack into the juvie database. yeah, i'm with you except for the part about coming to my dad's house. well, according to the kids, the hacking may come back to us. now the authorities will be led to an antique computer purchased by a former cop. -can you say wild goose chase? jeez, this computer is ancient. i didn't realize colecovision was still in business. all right, i'm in. muriel juvenile hall slash halfway house. -what am i looking for? i'm sensing our investigation centers on the year 1991. '91? there's nothing but a bunch of photos here. click on the top right. -that's that kid i sent to the principal's office. kirk godel. why the hell is a photo from today mixed in with photos from '91? it's not. this photo was taken 15 years ago. -i'm having a vision. the man from snowy river. eddie macon's run. spartacus. kirk douglas! -yes. see if there's a student named kirk. the registrar gave me access to all their files. it's perfectly normal, you know. what is? -the anxiety of being in charge. i can sense you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. i just really wanna get this right. oh. i've got something. -kirk godel. godel. it's almost pronounced like girdle because of the omelet on the "o." pretty sure that's an umlaut. i've heard it both ways. -let's see. no juvenile record, only child. all stats match up with his school records. nothing out of the ordinary. let's see what google says. -uh, search it with the word muriel. oh, here's an article from the muriel county newsletter. according to this article, kirk godel and his parents died five years ago in a car crash. there should be a death certificate on file, but there's no sign of it. what the hell is going on? -a little aloe will do wonders for that combination skin. circle your horses, jules. we're about to crack your case like an egg. and then, we'll make some umlauts. with shallots. -and justice. please take your seats. good, i'm glad you're all on time for phsysics two. the wrath of khan. today's lecture will cover come uppance. -and how to solve a crime in a crowded room. someone here is living a lie. someone in this room is a ghost-faced killah. it's not you. but you have to do something about the hair immediately. -okay? i'd start now. you. your heart is pure. i'd say lose the earring, but i actually think he pulls it off. -but you. y... why do they always run? don't they know it makes them look guilty? you need this guy? -thank you, detective lassiter. have a seat. you mind telling us what we're doing here? well, as the beautiful, industrious, detective o'hara has already gathered... -you're not the real kirk godel, are you? will the real kirk godel please stand up? i don't think that's gonna happen. you stole the real kirk godel's identity so that you could get into this school. but there's more to this case than stolen identity. -yes... i'm sensing a much darker, diabolical past. you did a stint in juvie for causing someone's death. 15 years ago. what, are you, nuts? -he's a kid. true. so how could this be possible, class? time travel. he cryogenically froze himself -in order to travel to the future. no. he's a clone of the original. you know what? just never mind, guys. -save it for your online role playing. he's wearing make-up. is he gay? no. well, maybe. -look, i don't... i don't know. but the reason he's wearing make-up is because he is actually 30, trying to pass for a teenager. 30? -what kind of moisturizer do you use? class, i would advise you take notes. there will be a test on this. you were always the smartest kid in your class, but with juvie on your record, you couldn't get into college. then one day, you read a story about a 15 year old from your hometown who died in a fiery car crash. -and that was the real kirk godel. and you had a light bulb moment. all your life, people thought you were younger than you looked, so you decided to take advantage of that and hit a huge re-set button on your life. you forged kirk's documents. then you went online and deleted his death certificate. -a new identity plus your natural intelligence meant you were a cinch to make meitner. now you would graduate from one of the best high schools in the country, get a scholarship to the ivys, and become a young captain of industry. and it was all rolling along beautifully until hahn... discovered your dirty little secret. he blackmailed you for your scholarship stipend. he needed money to make a bank payment by wednesday, money you weren't willing to pay. -you were so distraught, you called your cousin to vent. you decided that the only way out was to kill hahn, and make it look like an accident. finally, you hacked in and deleted all records that you were ever in juvie. brilliant until the end. well, until this... -until this last part. when you got caught. on the wild line. like a salmon. pencils down. -come on. cuff him, o'hara. here, use mine. you've earned it. anything else i need to learn? -there's one last lesson. forget all the other lessons and know that you're a good cop. you know i'm gonna need those cuffs back, right? good. martinsdale. -macendale. jay macendale. once we had the name, it was pretty easy to track the rest. when he was 15, he stole a car on a dare, accidentally killed a pedestrian. and that's what got him in juvie. -i can't believe he passed himself off as a teenager for this long. i don't know, dad. slap a wig on you, you're the spitting image of yourself when i was a kid. what is that supposed to mean? what's his problem? -he finally got a hold of his parents. don't tell me it was too expensive. my file said i qualified for financial aid. quality of life? they have 24-7 slushy machines there. -the lockers are made with teak. that's the strongest wood. these pieces look like they're hand-carved, shawn. what's with the generosity? i saw you were still using the ratty board with the plastic pieces so i went ahead and shoplifted this for you. -i'm kidding. i bought it. those kid geniuses turned me on to a great ipo. now, remember, i win, i get the truck for a week. all right, how 'bout, i win, you wash the truck for a week? -yeah, i really don't understand what that means. i'm out there in a pair of jean shorts... continuously washing the vehicle for a... shawn... focus... -focus. too far to drive? you derailed my future because dad hates curvy roads? i could've been the next wittgenstein. i never got carsick a day in my life. -gus doesn't deal very well with surprises. i'll talk to you later, mom! you never told him i was the one who ran over his dog, did you? dad, no. one thing at a time. -thank god that dog was 17. checkmate. all those kids and their hipping and their hopping. pull up your damned pants, you morons! second comedy central special, it's gonna be great! -no, mommy. i don't want to wear the pink bow. he even does this in his sleep. what a freak! would you idiots give it a rest? -would you like to see my stick? thank you! thank you. are you doing alright? thank you. -thank you so much. alright. thank you. thank you so much. you can't fool me. -i know it's all for the little guys in the suitcase. thank you for coming out tonight. this is such a pleasure. before we start, i must say it is a true honor to be in this theater with you people, in the capital of the greatest country in the world the united states of america. in driving around the city the last couple of days- -i couldn't help but realize that here in d.c., like everywhere else gas prices suck! my wife and i live in i.a., and we were owners of 2 big suvs. we decided to do the economically and ecologically right thing. we got rid of one of the big, giant suvs and got a prius. i don't know why you're laughing, it's a great vehicle. -you jump on the freeway and punch it, it goes: when you can drive underneath an 18- wheeler and go: that's really dirty, and drive back out... that is just too damned small. it's cool at the gas pump. -on one tank you've driven 2 or 3000 miles. you fill up and go: oh, all done! i'll be damned. 10 cents? -that's amazing! i'm not used to a vehicle like this. i've had big trucks and suvs. the one vehicle i refuse to get rid of, i've had it for 10 years. i love this thing. -i've taken good care of it. it's not politically correct to drive it. i don't care. h-1 hummer. the real one, the big one, the military version. -i love this thing. it has a 38 gallon tank. gets 7 miles to the gallon. diesel, where i live, at its peak was $3.84 per gallon. yeah. -i went to fill it up that week, it wasn't even empty. it cost me a hundred forty- eight dollars. i pushed the vehicle home. as i rolled it into the driveway, i told my kids: girls, look at our new front yard ornament. -get in the prius. you suck, dad! i used to pick priuses out of the grill of my hummer. during the holidays last year, we took the hummer in for maintenance. then we were driving home and my wife is behind me in the hummer. -i'm in front driving the prius. i was tricked somehow. i don't know how that happened. she calls me on the cell phone, laughing. let me explain why. -our prius is not a black prius. it's not a red prius, it's a blue prius. but not really blue. it's more of a ...blue... prius. -it's pretty. sparkly! i did that a little too well, didn't i? while i'm driving, i'm holding in my arm, my wife's 3- pound chihuahua. you have to hold it while you drive or it'll fall down between the seats. -where the hell is this dog? oh, there you are! let me put down the parking brake, that'll hold you, you bastard. i've got to shift... oh! -that was your head? i'm sorry. i thought it was the shifty thingy. same size. leather, fur, i don't know the difference. -i thought i was grinding the gears. thanks for laughing at that. that's the stupidest joke i tell all night. that morning, i don't know why i didn't see it my children had taken vinyl window holiday decorations and put them all over the back window of the prius. christmas trees, santa claus. -snowflakes. it was so pretty. my wife calls me, laughing hysterically. what's so funny? can you see yourself? -you're driving a powder blue prius, holding a 3- pound chihuahua. there's pretty christmas decorations all over your car. and you make a living with dolls. you're gay! click. -and i'm like, bitch! click. a chihuahua. that's my wife's idea of a family pet. the dog i picked out is bill, our golden retriever. -he's 80 pounds. now that is a dog, ladies and gentlemen. i named him bill because i got him when clinton was in office and as a puppy, he was humping everything. when it comes to dogs- i have criteria for what is and is not a dog. -here is what is not a dog: anything that bounces when it barks. not a dog: anything i can easily drop- kick over my back fence. not a dog: anything that is regularly terrified by a running leaf. that's not a dog, that's a yapping beanie baby, that's what that is. -it's the richard simmons of canines, that's all i'm saying. honey, what was that? i don't know! , bill's sitting next to me: -i don't know either! you're a genius, do it again! size does matter in the canine brain. bill, golden retriever, very smart animal. if he pooped on the living room carpet, i stuck his nose in it. -three times later, he figured out: i'm not supposed to crap here. next two dogs, same thing. now the brain- dead chihuahua comes along. she poops on the carpet, i stick her nose in it three times later she thinks, i'm not supposed to crap, ever. -and that's why they shake. another way chihuahuas prove their lack of intelligence: most dogs know when you find a stick in the yard and you run with it you put the stick in your mouth sideways. i am not kidding. this little idiot dog found a stick as long as she was and she stuck it in her mouth straight out the front. -this is all true. we're on the couch watching tv. she runs through the house, as fast as she can, stick straight out. as she runs across the carpet she decides to quickly look down. oh yeah. -stick in the carpet, crammed down her throat. with momentum, she actually pole- vaulted over the stick. of course my wife and my girls are all... i couldn't breathe, i was laughing so hard. i thought, damn, if she'd been going a little faster- -i'd have a new puppet. a chihuahua on a stick! my wife started going nuts with the chihuahua thing. she named her chihuahua darby. after a year and a half my wife decided it was time to breed the dog. -my wife got on the internet and found the 3- pound...stud... chihuahua. i don't know how you call anything that's 3 pounds 'a stud'. we picked up little jake. the owner wanted to get rid of him. -so jake came to live at our house. he was full grown, ready to go. then darby came in heat. not long after that we had three tiny little chihuahua puppies. the two larger ones my wife gave away. -the runt of the litter... the runt from two 3- pound dogs we decided to keep. rusty is now full- grown, at a whopping 1.8 pounds. the cool part is he and 80- pound bill are best friends. i don't know how you can be best friends with someone who is the same size as your poop. -my kids question whether i'm funny or not. i pointed that out in the backyard to them. i'm a comedy genius now! the cool part is little rusty picked me over everyone else to bond with. he likes me best, we don't know why. -i kinda like it. i come home, he runs to the front door, i pick him up take him to my office. i have a stuffed car, he sits in that car. if he sits just right, it looks like he's driving around my desk. people walk in my office, it's a rat! -oh, it's your dog. the bond between rusty and me has gone beyond just companionship. there's an emotional bond. this has happened 5 times. it can't be coincidence. -the three chihuahuas sleep in the bed with my wife and me. my wife and i will get into an argument, go to bed angry. you're not supposed to do that, but we're tired. rusty hears the argument, knows we're not happy with each other. but he takes my side. -at 3 or 4 in the morning he will wake up, and pee on my wife. i am not kidding. it's the greatest thing ever! i have the satisfaction of knowing if i go to bed angry with my wife, it's gonna be taken care of. this is all absolutely true. -i had to get up early for an east coast flight, about 3:30. my wife and i had argued, i wake up still mad at her. 4 am, i'm ready to walk out the door, but i still love her. i go to kiss her. i walk over and put my hand on her... -rusty, my man! it's still warm, she hasn't woken up yet. i lean over, i love you honey, see you later, rusty pissed on you. bye! rusty's at the end of the bed just wagging his tail. -i'm at the front door, i hope he doesn't teach bill to do that. we have three daughters. they are 9, 11 and 15 years old. they've had normal childhoods. most things have been great. -some things have been different because of the ventriloquism. for example, their barbie dolls actually speak. not when mommy's around. ken, you smell like beer and cigarettes. i'm a lot of fun at toys 'r' us around christmastime. -boys run to their parents, mommy, know what that g.i joe said to me? they will never catch me. we try to take family walks as often as possible. on these walks, we let one kid pick out one dog. one evening we let kenna, the 9- year- old, choose. -kenna seems to have a real twisted sense of humor. we don't know where that came from. we have a leash. one of those big self- retracting leashes. you push the button and it quickly retracts. -don't beat me to the funny part. i walk out the front door and think i'll be the first one there. kenna is out front and has darby hooked up to that leash. she's 2 feet away. kenna keeps pushing the button and letting it up. -darby is going... i ask kenna, what are you doing? i'm trying to make her heel automatically. i say, kenna! it doesn't work. -i already tried it. high five. we're out for a walk and kenna has the dog at full extension. 30 or 40 feet on the leash and she hasn't given up on what she's trying. as we're walking she's pushing the button and letting it up. -looking at the dog, looking at the leash the wheels in her head turning... what is this twisted little child going to do? as we're walking, she pushed the button. quickly and on purpose dropped the leash. do you see the brilliance here? -the leash then began to chase the chihuahua. a big hunk of black plastic skimmed across the pavement. the chihuahua stopped. she heard a new noise. she looked behind her. -here comes the leash. at this point, the chihuahua is smart enough to know that now would be a good time to panic. she took off like a bullet down the street running as fast as she could. but the leash was slightly faster. i'm standing there, where's the video camera? -we can win 10,000 bucks! 'watch what happens! ' and sure enough... of course my wife and my two oldest girls... -kenna and i are rolling in the lawn. i'm high-fiving her, telling her she's a genius. mommy turns around, sees us laughing. crap! don't look her in the eye. -look down. back away slowly. rusty will piss on her later. ladies and gentlemen, you're an awesome audience. how about we get to the people you came to see tonight? -the first guy, i think audiences enjoy because everyone knows someone like this. in your own family or where you work. please help me welcome my old friend, walter. get a life. how you doing, walter? -what happened to your hair? looks like you were in a fricking car wreck. they said it makes me look hip. i think it makes you look homeless. been in d.c. for two days and you're already fricking homeless. -holy cow. come on, walter, do you like d.c.? oh yeah. there's nothing quite like being mugged in our nation's capital. there's a lot of excitement that goes on in washington, d.c. -yeah, what happens in d.c. stays on youtube. so you don't like being in d.c.? no, i like it. i get screwed on my taxes every year. so it's fun to come visit the source. -what did you do for fun today? stood in front of the irs building. i just flipped them off. did you go to the white house? oh yeah. -that's where the most powerful man in the free world lives. oprah? what's wrong with you tonight? i don't know. i'm just pissed. -i don't want to go home. why not? i think my house is haunted. why do you think that? my wife is there. -i walk in the front door and all i hear is, get out! you got in another argument on the phone today, didn't you? you heard that, did you? oh yeah. hung up on her. -she called right back, did you hang up on me? i said, i don't know, did it sound something like this? click. did that make her angry? i felt a disturbance in the force. -you ever made her that mad when you're standing in front of her? yeah. my mother told me if you're in a jam and don't know what to do you should think, what would jesus do? so i tried to turn her into a fish. i stood there going, begone, satan! -hello, shamu! well, at least shamu has only one blowhole. aw, screw you. that was funny. look, it's the cia. -i see you. we can all see you. you know, the show looks a lot better from the front. is the director drunk? what the hell? -what? holy crap! wait, come back. let me see in there. this is comedy central. -i can see cartman. i can see kenny. oh, he just got killed. you've been married a long time. ups and downs in any marriage. -ever been to marriage counseling? yes. what did that do for you? look at me. i'm happy! -come on. what were the results of the counseling? at the end of it all, there were two folks who thought i was an ass. and i'm paying both of them. but you are happy to be here? -oh sure. better than last week. last week? fort lauderdale, florida. you didn't like that? -no. everyone in fort lauderdale, florida looks exactly like me. i swear, it's like one giant nursing home. ft. lauderdale is where they tape those girls gone wild videos. -that's during spring break. the rest of the time it's girls gone saggy. or it's girls gone senile. and then it's just girls gone. you didn't like the weather either. -oh my god. even in the middle of winter, it's humid as hell and hot as hell. we got there, i took a shower on monday. friday, still not dry. i swear, i have moss on my ass. -you said the weather changes too quickly. i know it changes fast everywhere, but in florida, it's ridiculous. what are you talking about? i was standing on the beach. in the sunshine, having a little iced tea. -i looked over and go, ooh, look, a little cloud. about three minutes later... holy crap! the locals are hanging on to the palm trees. we love it here! -you dumbasses! i say, leave it to the cubans and get the hell out! alright, so you want someplace a little cooler. remember, we went to green bay, wisconsin. yeah, in february! -it was negative 20 with a negative 30 wind chill. i'd get on stage every night and say, you people are idiots. did you know the borders are open? pack up your suburban and get the hell out! another thing. -green bay packers stadium, what's it called? lambo field. lambo field. no roof. hello! -how many football season weekends have good weather in green bay? that would be...none. note to self: build a fricking roof. we have the technology. yeah, you talk to the locals in green bay, what do they say? -we love it here. we're a hardy people. a bunch of frozen dumbasses, is what you are. walter, you don't like humidity, you don't like extreme cold. you want someplace warmer and drier. -well in august, we were in phoenix. august in phoenix, arizona. your agent is a moron. it was 112 for three days in a row. what do all the locals say? -but it's a dry heat. screw you. a bonfire's a dry heat. you don't see me sticking my ass in one of those, do you? your ass is on fire. -it's a dry heat! i was in florida, i gotta burn off the fricking moss! did you enjoy new york city? oh, i love new york city. it was great. -do shows in manhattan, about midnight get back to the hotel. at 1 a.m., i'd lay my head on the pillow and listen to the sounds of the city. oh my god. the city that never sleeps. well, it needs a fricking nap. -you've eliminated every corner of the country. what about where we live? people love the weather in southern california. at least with florida and hurricanes, you get a little notice. you turn on the news: -you have three days to get the hell out! so? in i.a., we've got earthquakes. we don't know jack. one morning, you could be sitting on the toilet and all of a sudden... -there's crap flying around the house. we love it here! you're a dumbass, too. remember that last big earthquake? sure. -bad timing on that earthquake. how's that? not two seconds before it hit, i told my grandson to pull my finger. he pulled it, i farted and half the neighborhood fell down. that kid hasn't come near me since. -the other day i cracked my knuckles and he dove under the couch. what was that? we're in d.c. that was a veto. walter, i'm listening to you and i get the feeling we travel too much. oh, you think? -why don't you like airplanes? i'm your carryon, for god's sakes. i go in the x- ray machine. i could have cancer tonight! tell them what happened at o'hare. -we're going through the airport. i come out the other side of the x- ray and hear the guy say to jeff: sir! i've got to look inside your suitcase. i'm lying there thinking, aw crap, here we go. -jeff's standing there, the guy opens the case, i pop up and go: hey! shut the damned door! scared the crap out of the guy. then i thought about it a second and said: -i do not want to go to los angeles. and what happened? we were detained. them bastards have no sense of humor. they have to be tight on security these days. -i know. the terrorist threats and all that crap. there's one group of folks i don't understand at all. damned suicide bombers. good god, what the hell is this? -well, way to go, habib. bet you can't fricking do it again. dumbass. walter, those guys believe that if they martyr themselves there will be 72 virgins waiting for them in paradise. well, april fool, dumbass! -if there are virgins waiting for you, it'll be 72 guys just like you! oh no, this is not what osama said it would be. 72 virgins? why not 72 slutty broads who know what they're doing? he had a longer fuse. -i wonder if they pull that joke on each other every once in a while. what joke? what the... did you see jamil's face? it's gone now, but did you see his face? -72 virgins. sounds like a punishment to me. i gotta teach 72 women how to have sex? oh my god! i hope there's no viagra in heaven. -impotence is god's way of helping a man like me to 'just say no'. if i take viagra, it's just to help me keep from rolling out of bed. did you get that one? she got it! it's a kickstand joke. -will you stop? what're you shaking your head at? you got a good love life? sure. yeah. -good sex life? with your wife? yes. good for her, too? yeah. -how do you know? what? how do you know? we're waiting! well, sometimes she calls me the hurricane. -the what? the hurricane. yeah, i get it. exciting at first, then it ends in disaster. you know, maybe she should call you fema. -now what does that mean? slow to respond and not a lot of satisfying results. you should know. how long have you been married? 47 years. -that's amazing. i know it. that old bitch will never die. how long you been married? 17 years. -that's pretty good. how do you do it? i learned a long time ago that every couple argues. i learned that when we're in the middle of a big argument- i just think of something completely different. -that takes my mind off it, and i don't stay angry as long. so you think of something completely different? like what? oh i don't know. like if you choke a smurf, what color does it turn? -choke a smurf? right. is that what they're calling it now? what the hell happened to the chicken? let me get back to marriage. -you've been married a long time. do you still really love your wife? of course i love her. told her lately that you love her? naw. -why not? she knows it. how does she know it? i smile a lot. have you ever cheated on her? -no! dammit. marriage is supposed to be forever. and this one's taking too damn long. marriage is an institution. -so is alcatraz. you can't compare marriage to prison. i guess you're right. the warden doesn't max out your credit cards. the other day she got me some of that spray- on hair crap in a can. -did you use it? yeah. on your chihuahua. turned it into a shi tzu. -your birthday wasn't too long ago. did your wife get you anything? she got me a book on reincarnation. do you believe in reincarnation? hell, i don't know. -who would you come back as? i'd come back as my wife and leave me the hell alone. you pick on her all the time. yeah, i know. maybe one day, i'll be reincarnated and come back as a sensitive guy. -driving a blue fricking prius. that is the saddest little vehicle. it's a great car! you ever heard it when you're driving by? it goes, iiiii'm gay. -iiiii'm gay. when it idles it goes homohomohomohomo... is that a new watch? no, i've had it a long time. a long time ago you had a rubber, plastic ugly funny name thing. -that was years ago when i was in college. they were popular and might be coming back. it's called a swatch. what in the hell is a swatch? a company in switzerland invented that watch, so they called it swatch. -good thing they weren't in croatia. what time is it? , i don't know, let me look at my crotch. sorry i'm late, but my crotch is a little slow. it's like the timex, it takes a ... -walter! that's walter, there we go! thank you. as we all know, there's a big mess in the middle east right now. when it comes to the terrorists most of us don't understand their extremist views and beliefs. -i was thinking, how would it be to sit and talk to one of those guys? we have that opportunity tonight. please help me welcome- achmed, the dead terrorist. good evening, achmed. -good evening. infidel. so you're a terrorist. yes. i am a terrorist. -what kind of terrorist?

i'm killing, so to speak. you can't tell jokes like that. -it offends people. i'm dead, what do i care? what do you want me to do, knock- knock jokes? it would be better. okay, knock- knock. -who's there? me, i kill you. as a suicide bomber, did you have training? of course. we had the suicide bomber training camp. -is that a nice facility? it used to be. what happened? new guy! the idiot tried to practice. -what did you guys learn from that? location, location, location. do you have a motto, like... we're looking for a few good men. we're looking for some idiots with no future. -where do you get your recruits? the suicide hotline. that was dark, was it not? what exactly happened to you? what happened? -if you must know, i am a horrible suicide bomber. what happened? i had a premature detonation. i set the timer for 30 minutes, but it went off in 4 seconds. you know what that's like, right? -mr. hurricane. ha ha ha ha ha. achmed, what exactly happened to you? i was getting gasoline and i answered my cell phone. can you hear me n...? -at first, i thought it was because i went over my minutes. it's okay, i took that verizon bastard with me. what's it like to die? do you see a white light? if you're dumb enough to watch the explosion, yes. -some people say when they die they see a white light. what did you see? i saw flying car parts... what was the last thing through your mind? my ass. -walter told me to tell that joke. you never saw a white light? no, but i saw a blue prius. do you really have one of those vehicles? that is not a car. -that's a lunchbox. did you know, when you're going down the highway in a prius- if you put your hand out the window, the vehicle will turn? you did this for a bunch of virgins? are you kidding me? -i'd kill you for a klondike bar. so, i guess you are muslim? i don't think so, no. look at my ass. made in china. -walter says i'm just a stinking halloween decoration. do you like being in d.c.? i think some idiots must live here. why? the washington monument. -yes? it looks nothing like the guy. it looks more like a tribute to bill clinton. what do you think of bush? oh, i love bush. -oh, you mean the president. i'm sorry! that's achmed, the dead terrorist! there we go. thank you. -there's never been a better time than right now to introduce a brand new superhero. we have that very thing this evening. he's big. he's powerful. please help me welcome the superhero... -melvin. h...h... hi! good to see you, melvin. thank you. -it's nice being here in our nation's capital. so, you're a superhero. what is your most outstanding feature? my costume. it's a very nice costume. -thank you. what does the 'd' stand for? oh, that's my theme song. what's your theme song? da da- da daa! -where did you get the costume? that is a superhero secret! ebay? dammit! how did you deduce that? -a tag on the back says ebay. it's as plain as the nose... oops, sorry. okay, so you're a superhero. do you fight crime? -yes, of course! what kind of crime? bad kind. so what have you done lately? today, i was battling a terrorist. -achmed? yes. and what kind of battle? checkers. every time i'd get a king, he'd blow it up. -so what did you do? i issued a verbal threat. and then walter gassed him. melvin, do you have any powers? yes! -like what? i can fly. really far. how far? how far can you throw me? -do you have other powers? x- ray vision! can you see through something practical, like clothes? oh, you're sick. yes. -i love looking at boobies. that's a beautiful pair, isn't it? i'm glad i'm wearing loose shorts. oh, i forgot. i can't see through silicone. -what? they're good. those are super- hooters. if she had a theme song, it would be ta ta- ta taa! if she had a costume, she'd have two ds on her chest. -i can look but i can't touch. why? i'm lactose intolerant. you can fly and have x- ray vision. those are the same as superman! -can you stop a speeding bullet? once. shut up! it hurts like hell. can you leap tall buildings in a single bound? -why the hell would i do that? there's not a lot of call for that. superman does that. show- off. he could avoid all the fuss and just walk around the effing thing. -i can't curse. think the president should. the president? yeah. think about it. -we had the a- bomb, the h- bomb. it's time for him to drop the f- bomb. he could go, hey, terrorists! f you! so, like superman, do you change clothes in a phone booth? -what? superman does that too. he's got issues, doesn't he? my wife met lois lane once. she said she acted like an h -o r e. you mean a w h -o r e. what's a 'w- hore'? is that like a klingon? -so you're married. does your wife have any powers? yes. like what? once a month... -she becomes evil. and i cannot defeat her. our children run in terror. our big dog cowers under the couch. you have a big dog? -actually, i borrowed your chihuahua. superman has a dog, krypto. he has all the same powers as superman. that's ridiculous. if krypto sniffs your crotch he'll suck your lungs out your ass. -if he humps your leg, you'll be in traction for a year. do you have an arch enemy? pinocchio. do you have a weakness? cupcakes. -and porn. what? not at the same time. i need a free hand. so, when there's a problem, how are you summoned? -i'm making a deal with the commissioner to light up the sky with a spotlight of my symbol. what's your symbol? a big nose in the sky. trouble is, sometimes it doesn't exactly look like a nose. it's not a cupcake, either. -da da- da daa! are you friends with other superheroes? some of them. how about aquaman? i like aquaman, he can breathe underwater and talk to fish. -yeah, great. he has all the same powers as sponge bob. how about the hulk? why do you like the hulk? the angrier he gets, the stronger he gets. -yeah, like every white trash guy on cops . i like the flash. he has no powers! he's on meth. cat woman? -i used to date cat woman. she gave me something i had to take medicine to get rid of. and boy, does it itch. and now it burns when i fly. da da- da daa... -son of a bitch! it's the terrorists, i tell you. i look like lex luthor. can you put it back? sure. -here we go. how's that? da da- da daa. that kinda sucked. do superheroes date each other? -we date mortals sometimes, too. did you know that superman was dating rosie o'donnell? i did not know that. he had to quit. because she got too big. -he took her on one flight and threw out his back. embarrassing when you're flying a girl around metropolis and your feet are still dragging the sidewalk. da da- da daa. this looks like a job for slim fast! -one last guy, how about batman? oh. a grown man in a rubber suit, running around with a young boy? i don't have to have x- ray vision to see what the hell's going on there. i wondered about these superheroes and their young men side kicks. -you have five men in a suitcase. and one of them's on a stick. who is sliding down the proverbial bat pole now? if you had a theme song, it would be la la- la laa. you know, i have a wife and kids. -so does tom cruise! and that's melvin the superhero. there we go. thank you. thank you so much. -if you've seen my show before, you'll recognize this next guy. please help me welcome my buddy, peanut. how you doing, peanut? pretty good, how are you? i'm fine. -that's good, that's gooooooood. so, you like it here? oh, i love being in d.c. d.c! it's great. -and i love this theater, the warner theater. it's fantastic. and they've got a cool website. the thing that... peanut, stop... -what?

jefa fa? -dun ham. dot com. the weird part is, i am actually pissing him off. and he would like to kill me. but he will not because that would be a form of suicide. -you want to kill me. no, i don't. yes, yes, yes. search your feelings, jefa fa. dun ham. -dot com. what?

you sound like some anemic french guy. -german: jawohl ! chinese: gay guy: oh, oh! wait, wait. -a guy driving a blue prius: you know what would be funny as hell? when this gets on comedy central, if the show is sponsored by toyota. and they have no idea. one night they're watching this like, hey! -he making fun of our cars! he say our car is gay. it not gay, he gay. let's get godzilla to kill him. it's a tiny little car, isn't it?

i have, he is the youngest son of mister baitassov, a millionaire. they are very rich. they own banks, hotels, oil fields... -but ablay is humble and nice... a good person. and what does he do? he has a business in astana. that's all i know. hopefully he will marry our altynay. -really? but let's talk about you. what happened to you? another fight with togzhan? yes, you're my only hope. -everything will be fine. aunt shuga! it's over... i can't go on living with him. and i cannot leave him. -the kids ... his mere presence makes me sick. i don't say that to comfort you, nor to excuse him. but there's one thing i'm sure of. bakhyt is one of those men for whom family and kids are sacred. -as for the rest ... it's something else. these are seperate worlds. i don't understand how this can be, but that's how it is. but he sleeps with her! -and you? you'd forgive him? i don't know... actually, if i know it, i'd forgive him. it wouldn't be the same, but i would forgive. -and i'd forgive completely, as if nothing had happened. i would... otherwise it wouldn't be true forgiveness. what are we doing sitting here? i'm going to make some tea. -"is sex in the marriage possible ?" has amir grown? yes, he's had a growth spurt this year. you wouldn't recognise him! let me show you some recent photos. -won't you come in?

i met her in a bar. i don't remember her name. you like her... ? -stupid... everything will be fine, madam. we all go through the same at this age. but the truth is that not everybody tries to commit suicide. the best remedy for altynay is time. -time heals everything. but how?

do you know long i waited for you on that bridge in amsterdam in the pouring rain watching the boats pass through the channels. -hours i thought that i finally find something good something real i find this crazy worls makes some kind of sense it just i thought was -dark, cruel... absurd bjorn, we've been through this i think you're a interesting guy with alot of really fine instincts but what you want is not possible for so many reasons i was in amsterdam, but not really sure.. -forget it it's all under the bridge now under that lonely, lonely bridge she means nothing to me i was just had fun -oh, lucky girl oscar wilde once said "we always kill ones we loved... that's right... "by so many things" wait let's do this properly -milo.. you never sees to amaze me this time, i feel you've, but more than enough you can chew. i want to make this painless and fair oscar wilde once said "we alway play fairly...

"it was an accident." it was. yeah, ok, help me then. -help me, help me to help you, ok? explain this. look at this. this is a map of joe's head, and these red areas are where he was hit. i've got to compliment you on your grouping - when you land punches consistently in one place? -anyone can see from this you are a very, very skilful boxer indeed. but you see this one? yeah? yeah? this is the one that's gonna put you in prison. -but... look, let me finish. you watch. watch. you see, martin, to hit him here, he had to be looking down and away. -down and away. yeah, but i couldn't see. still, 14 years. no, but... the jury knows you had to see him to hit him, and you hit this man when he was looking down and away. -i'm trying to keep you out here! i got the nod. oh. a nod? i thought it was just a money fight, but it turned out to be a bit of a grudge to it. -the nod from who? the banker. come on, lads, wrap it up now, it's been a great fight, come on, wrap it up. i hit until he says stop. he wanted me to put a bad one in on the finish. -you give me the name of the banker and i'll let you walk out of here. you can do a runner right back to ireland. really? martin, trust me. killigan. -senior or junior? well, senior's the banker but junior handles all the dealings. the son is the lackey if you get me. i get you. goodbye. -what? go! really? thank you...very much, martin. you spying on me? -we had an agreement about stressing interviewees. i wasn't stressing him. it's unethical. it was very effective, all right? i contacted mel's parents about this. -and? it wasn't hers. can you take this back to the lab for me, please? what's he done to your head? stressing you out... -thanks. your dogs. what about 'em? i need to dna them. what? -never mind. where are they? they're in the pens, i was just gonna start feeding them. they weren't fed last night then? what d'you mean? -someone set a pack of dogs on liam ryan yesterday. who's he? the site guard who found davy. and what fight could the mcdonagh family have with him? that's what we want to know. -dogs bark growls they'll not harm you. it's er...an allergy. right. -what is it you'll need to do? ah, this won't take long. why won't he attack it? why didn't you say? husss! -my dogs? yes. you're joking? no, no, i'm not joking, no. i dunno. -whatever next? oi! he whistles sean! oi! -why didn't you tell me you were at the fight? who told you that? i have a witness who puts you there, and i know that you lied about it. all this over a boxing match? no. -all this over a dead 16-year-old boy. look, mr boyd, clean sheet, ok? i was at the fight, but merely as a spectator. i swear to god, i know nothing about that young fella except he showed up dead on my site. what's up? -i'd like you to put one of these in each of your dogs' mouths, please. what? just do it. thank you. one, two, and thank you very much. -thank you, spence. hi! hi! killigan's dogs. you used swabs? -yeah, i've got a way with animals. how long will it take? here's something coming through right now. i don't know. ok, there they are, right? -thank you. wait, wait, this is interesting. the shawl. they found traces of foetal haemoglobin. foetal? -so it was used to wrap a newborn? yeah. and i don't know if this helps, but they also found lachrymal fluid - tears. tears. was davy violent - excessively violent? -no, no, no. what were you fighting over? it was a wren boy fight. and what's that? every year on boxing day, we have wren boys fights, you know? -all good-natured between the families. it doesn't sound like it, with him biting your ear off. ah, he was losing and he couldn't take it. he was always a hot-head. so? -so, he lost and i won. he went off then. you didn't try and find out where he went? fr the first few months we were expecting him to come home. the family moved back to ireland a few days later. -why? we come and go every year - we've a nice spot in kerry that we stop at for the summer. so you got out of prison six months ago. you've got me whole life story there, don't you? you come back here, get into a fight that puts you in hospital. -just a money fight. dropped me guard. it was me own fault. who were you fighting? don't know the man. -i mean, he was just a gun for hire - money. do you know this man? no. he was the banker at that fight. he's also the man that took you into hospital. -mr boyd, i know things are different in this settled world, but in my world, if a man saves your life, you don't go getting him into trouble for it. i'm trying to find out what happened to your brother. i know that. but i also know that you know that i done me brother no harm. that's true. -are you married? married? no. why not? what do you mean? -i mean, why not? are you gay? ok, so you're not gay. so...? i never found the right woman. -did davy find the right woman? what do you mean? he was wearing this the night he died... with the heart facing in. who was the girl he was wearing it for? i don't know. -stay down, davy, there's no shame in it. you're gonna have to kill me first. that's enough! liam, liam! where am i? -you're safe. ssssh. how did i...? you were dreaming. no, it was real. -he was there, watching. i tried to pull him out with this hand... he made me let go. let go! you speak a word of me, and i'll take you to hell. -he made me let go, and now the hand is cursed - and me along with it. it wasn't your fault, ok? he's after me now. why is he after you? i saw him. -he came straight from hell, burnt in the fires, and he's risen from hell again and he's coming after me. this is interesting. firstly the dog that attacked you, stella, was from the same pack of dogs that attacked liam. killigan's or mcdonagh's? neither and both. -the dog that sired that pack belongs to killigan and the bitch... mcdonagh. now, here's one more slightly mind-boggling fact. look at these. they're identical, are they? -identical, yes. the drugs used on liam have the same pharmacological structure as the drugs used in the woad painted on davy. so whoever killed davy's trying to kill liam. or keep him quiet. i've got another hit here for you. -gosh. well, lucky me i've met the whole dog family. this letter, found at the shrine. dna matched to the shawl. -"i am yours." the patterns painted on the wren boys. yeah? who makes the woad? i do. -what do you do? do you just crush this stuff into a powder? yeah. and you don't add anything else? just some vinegar to stop it drying out. -who paints it on the boys? the men see to that. the women aren't part of it. why d'you ask? oh... -this sign...? it's our pact. how do you mean? a couple of hundred year ago, our family, the mcdonaghs, made a pact with all the family and cousins never to take the life of the other. the mcdonagh fighters wear it on their fists. -looks like davy had a lot of fights. oh, he did. he was good at it. why so many? davy was a clan fighter. -you know, if two families have a dispute, instead of having an open battle with all the men, each family would pick one good man and they'd fight it out. what about disputes within the family? what kind of disputes? anything. i don't know. -say, er, about a girl. a girl? oh, there's plenty of them. same rules apply. and both fighters stick to the rules? -of course. what happens if one man cheats? cheats how? biting his brother's ear off. is your husband at home? -no, he's at work. sit down. how long have you known him? oh, 16 years, thereabouts. how did you meet? -well, he sort of came to my rescue. in what way? i was ruined... with child, and out of wedlock. so? -i was going to be cast out of the family, but... sean took me for a wife. davy's claddagh ring... what about it? he wore it with the heart facing in. -how d'you know about what all that means now? it's my job to know. so, did he have a girlfriend? listen to me, please. let davy's heart secrets lie with him. -may i? of course. this is you? yes! and these boys? -well, that's davy, and that's his brother joe and that's sean junior. who's now your stepson? yes. we were all in the same year together. so you know about davy then? -yes, i do. now come on, tell me, what was the fight with joe about? it was just a wren boy fight. it was like davy was, i don't know - it's hard to explain it, it was like davy was possessed. so how did you deal with the whole thing? -we were shamed, davy ran away from the fight. we never saw him again. ok. look, i'd much appreciate it if you didn't mention about davy's dishonour with his brother to nana. she doesn't know anything about it, and it would break her heart. -sure. i mean, especially now since you've found his body, we'll be able to burn his van and let him rest in peace. that's his, is it? yes. what, it's been like that for 16 years? -well, that's our way. when he's in the ground, we'll burn the van. when can we have him back? soon. d'you mind if i have a look inside? -he can't go in there. has he no respect for the dead? that's why we're here, nana, because of the dead. when you see a shape that resembles the face you saw the night davy died, you just stop me, ok? ok. -so what d'you think? well, these are all human. yeah. the creature i saw had horns and... right. -eve, you've got the wrong ones up there. oh, yeah, it's my fault. i hope i didn't get you into any trouble. don't worry about it. he coughs -flies buzz ok, then? yes, thanks for that. i'll be in touch. hey, will you kids leave the man alone! -sorry about that. no, that's ok. that's ok. everything all right? yeah. -fine, thank you. tell me, did, um, davy have a girlfriend? no. you sure about that? yes. -goodbye. thanks for all your help. i found this in the caravan. it's a girl's claddagh ring. mm-hm. -so he did have a girlfriend? exactly. he still had his on. she'd given hers back to him. so, davy was... -my cousin. we were to be married, but something happened to him. i'm sorry. oh, it's ok. what happened to your child? -a miracle. a miracle? i prayed to our lady of the shrine for intervention, and i did my novena to saint jude, and i went there every night i was with child... then on the last night... hail mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee. -the child came, and our lady acted and saved me. saved you how? well, she made a divine intervention and she took the child from me. took? she appeared, and she took the child to heaven. -you believe in miracles, don't you? yeah. i'm not sure my boss does. hi. anything? -no. this is absolutely so out of order. the quicker we get this done, the better, ok? yeah. strange, isn't it? -what? that feeling. like when you go to auschwitz, you know something terrible's happened there. because you know what it is before you go there. i can sense that something terrible's happened here. -what? can we just concentrate on the job? hear, hear. stella, just go down a couple of centimetres at a time. no sign of your nun friend, is there, stella? -you know this stigmata - if it's the wounds of christ, how come they never get it in sequence? i've no idea. first he was whipped, then the crown of thorns, then nails through the hands and feet, but you never see anybody with the crown of thorns, it's always the blood coming out of the hands and feet. oh, my god! what is it? -there. well? looks like neonatal or foetal remains. there's your miracle. what did you say? -stella! ave maria, gratia plena dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tuae -jesus. ok, these are our four suspects for killing davy, all right? stella, are you with us? come on. she's fine. -let's just get on with it. why's papa mcdonagh up there? because davy dishonoured the family in a fight. that's enough motive. depends how important the honour is to him. -got to be huge. why joe mcdonagh? because davy fought with joe mcdonagh. but you don't think he did it. no, but he's still got to be up there, he's still in the picture. -ok. right. ok. killigan senior. his motive could be that he killed for ester. -you think that's a motive? yeah, i've seen them together, he's completely, um... besotted? he's besotted with her and i think that is a motive. and why killigan junior? -because he could have acted for his father, he could have killed for his father. look, are you with me on this? these are possibilities, are they not, for killing davy, yes? yes! we agree. -that's good. i think we should get them all in and talk to them. and ester. and ester? mm-hm. -thank you for coming in. that's ok. is my husband in trouble? oh, no, no. i, um, want to show you something, and i want you to tell me if you recognise it. -baby cries mother of god, help me! it is yours then? yes. we'll put everything back as we found it. -i wrapped my baby in it. i'm sorry to have to ask you this but... ..was this yours at one time? where did you find it? in davy mcdonagh's pocket. we were to be married, but as you know, he ran away. -you said you found it in his pocket. do you know where he is? ester, davy's dead. no. i'm sorry. -how? we're not sure. we're trying to find out. i'm afraid i have to ask you this. was the baby his? -no, no, i don't know. i don't know. the foetal remains. yes? i measured the rate of decomposition. -and my findings were, he was male, he wasn't full term, he was stillborn approximately 40 years ago. ah, so it's not the baby from our shawl. no. how did you come to meet your wife ester? -what do you mean? what were the circumstances that brought you together? i was a widower, i was looking for a wife. i'm trying very hard not to get sensitive about this situation, but she's a mcdonagh, a traveller. she was, she's not any more. -but you're not, so what's your connection to the mcdonaghs? they worked for me. so davy did work for you? i don't know. papa mcdonagh was my ganger man. -he put together work crews for me. no questions asked. yeah, right. and he knew my first wife had died. how did she die? -in a house fire. that's a tragedy. it was an accident. when sean got older, the place was going to the dogs. i needed a woman round the house. -and, well... the mcdonaghs had a girl that needed to be married out of the clan. she was a godsend. she was. she fell between two brothers. it's the worst type of thing to happen to a girl. -she needed to be married off, but mr killigan wasn't gonna take her with a baby in tow. so papa made a deal with killigan to marry her? aye. it was a good match. -she's been well cared for ever since. and what did killigan give you in return? we're living on it. he used to own all the land that we stop on. now it's there for generations of us. -so ester was the reason the brothers fought? what do you mean? davy and joe. the night davy died...he was in a fight with joe. no. -no, you're wrong... sure, the boys would... what? kill each other? no. -no, because i know this. joe loved davy. they were inseparable, and if joe had taken davy's life, then i'd be missing two sons. because he'd have taken his own life next. you've got to stop this thing you're doing. -i'm investigating a murder. what you're doing will cause more bloodshed. what happened to the baby? will nothing stop you? i need to know. -i gave it to the nuns... at the abbey. baby cries sean killigan junior. what? are you with us? -what do you mean? we had a look at your greenhouse. so what's with the magic mushrooms? you look a little straight to be expanding your brain with substance. ok, you wanna charge me for growing' mushrooms, go ahead. -whoa, that's seven years, sean. life, if you're supplying it. i don't own them. who does? not me. -sean, look at all this. you think that's what we're about? you know what we're about. no. davy mcdonagh. -your stepmother's dead boyfriend. what, was that a little insensitive? that was, yeah. i'm sorry. it just must be weird having a stepmother your own age. -that was out of order too. sorry, i'm sorry. what has interested me about you, sean, are the mushrooms. you see, because both davy mcdonagh and this poor old sod, liam, liam ryan, who you do know, they were spiked with a mixture that has the same chemical signature as your plants. he doesn't know what you're on about. -d'you know what i'm on about? or is it your father that makes you do things against your will? i want a lawyer. same old, same old shit. you're gonna stay there. -how much longer will you be desecrating the shrine? the girls that come to the shrine... what of them? they come to you when they're in trouble? they used to. -what happens to the babies you take from them? they find good homes. all of them? am i being accused of something? 16 years ago, nana mcdonagh brought a newborn infant to you. -what became of it? there were a lot of babies that year. how is the sister who helped me? she's resting. could i see her? -i'm afraid that's not possible. we'd like to see her. as i said, that is not possible. i don't think i made myself clear. i want to see her. -i'm dr grace foley. i said no doctors. brigid... how old are you? 16. -how long have you been here at the abbey? i've always been here. she was raised here? i was raised here, as were the other four remaining sisters. many are born with a calling, but some are born already chosen. -our lady has a purpose for me. i've no doubt she has. i'll come back and check on you. and if her condition hasn't improved, i'll have her removed to a hospital. this is god's work. -oh! ha! i don't think so. i think it's the work of someone who's groomed a child, knowing that a verified stigmatic will save an abbey on a dissolution order from closure. so tell god to heal her. -or i'll have her out of here. we'll find our own way out. ..forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us... how could any girl want to spend her life in a place like that? maybe it's not so bad. -stella? i hadn't got you down as a recruit for the nunnery. i'm not! really. it's ester. -what's she doing? joe! joe. honour is important to you, isn't it? it is, yes. -there can be nothing worse than two brothers fighting over the same girl. it's not good, no. so it wasn't a wren boy fight, then, between davy and joe... it was an honour fight. aye. -but two brothers should never have been put in a fight like that. any fool knows there'd be a fight to the death. is that what you wanted? why would i want that? what about the pact? -they had to sort it out. i couldn't have them splitting the family over it and dragging us all into a feud. correct me if i'm wrong here, but the fight was for ester, yeah? yes. and presumably, the winner would get ester's hand in marriage? -that would be the point. yes. so why didn't joe get ester's hand? it didn't work out as i thought. obviously, but you didn't answer my question. -it's the only answer i can give you. know this, mr boyd. if there's a man out there that killed my son, then nothing you can do will stop the mcdonaghs from giving him justice. the killer will get justice. your justice is not our justice. -my justice is the one you'll get. boyd? what? this was sent over from the garda in dublin. ah, from fergus, yeah? -yeah, fergus. and? joe's medical records from prison. and? they say he was stabbed in the stomach when he was 17. -26th december 1990 - that's the same day as he had the fight with davy. did davy stab joe during the fight? is that why you were forced to kill him? no! because of the dishonour? -i didn't kill the boy. i loved him. why am i back in here? ok. why didn't you tell me the fight was over ester? -the family has enough shame to be dealing with. it was my fault, i wronged him. don't you ever wonder about your child? what? the child you had with ester. -she never had any child. so what was the bad blood about then? yeah, it was over ester. she was promised to davy. we shouldn't have done it. -but you were in love with her. of course. so why didn't you marry her after the fight? there was so much bad feeling that i was sent to my cousin's in ireland for a few years. i ended up in and out of prison. -look, you know all that. and then she was married off to killigan. yeah. i want you out of my investigation so i can get on with tracking the killer. i can't do that until you tell me the truth about what you know. -as long as you're holding back, i've got to waste time that i could be using elsewhere. all right, will you please, please be straight with me? tell me about davy stabbing you. i swear i don't know where he got that blade. it come out of nowhere, and he was... like he was possessed. -and when he put that knife in me, he knew he'd done me wrong... i see it in his eyes. and he ran, and i never seen him again. ok, you can go. so you must know who done it? -i do. well, when you get him in, keep him in. that way, i won't have to come after him. mr boyd! about the child. -are you sure? are you sure that travellers' dogs don't attack travellers? i'm sure. then i'm sure too. don't be absurd! -it's not that absurd. you'd kill to protect her, wouldn't you? if somebody was gonna harm her, then yeah, in a heartbeat. but it's no more than any man would do. you'd kill to protect yours. -yeah, i would, so it's not absurd at all! i did not kill davy mcdonagh! then who did? he killed himself. well, how very convenient. -what do you mean? well, you got the prize, didn't you? yeah, i'm a lucky guy. not so lucky now, we know it was joe that ester was in love with. now he's back and she's still in love with him, and they're seeing each other. -i know. do you feel ok about that? no, i do not. if i confront her, she'll choose him. i just can't lose her. -is that why you tried to have joe taken out in the money fight? i didn't arr... you didn't arrange that fight, did you? sean killigan junior. sean... -i know what you did to davy, and i understand why. i've nothin' to say. you and ester were like brother and sister, weren't you? at least, that's what it was for her i can see that - but not for you. -i don't know what you're on about. you grew up in love with ester. you didn't stand a chance because she was promised to davy. and then...she fell in love with joe. so when davy and joe ended up in a fight together, you saw your chance to take both of them out of the equation. -you laced the woad with drugs, and painted it on davy. and when the moment was right, you slipped davy a knife. and it worked. he was out of his head and he stabbed joe. but he didn't kill joe. -they rushed joe to hospital with a stomach wound. they saved his life. your father told me that. well, he's mistaken. amidst all this confusion, you slipped off into the woods -and you found davy. who's there? it's ok, davy. come on. and when you found him, you realised he was blind. -and you led him to the concrete pit. and you guided him into it. nice story. there's a sad story, though, too, isn't there? a father and son story. -you've no right to have that. she's an angel. anyone should've known that all three of you would fall in love with her. leave her out of this. when your father made the deal for ester, you thought she was coming to you, to be your wife - all your dreams come true. -then your father took one look at her and decided that he wanted her for himself. how could a father do that to his son? i can see the pain. that's what you're holding on to. you're holding on to it because it's all you've got. -damn you. is that all you have to say? spence! you have to help us because if he walks out of here, he faces the mcdonaghs' justice. your father has something he wants to say to you. -no. i'm sorry, sean. shut up! i didn't know you loved her. what are you saying? -he can't prove a bit of it, for god's sake! he doesn't have to. it's the truth. you have to own up. no. -i'm warning you. those days are gone. i'm stronger than you now. you're old. get off him, get off him! -get off him! 'how did she die? in a house fire.' 'he came straight from hell.' 'burnt in the fires.' -hey! take it easy! arrest me... or i'm walking out! let him go. you're not serious? -show him out. but the mcdonaghs...? show him out. no, you can't. i've made up my mind. -you can't. i can and i am. i just came to say goodbye. they've let sean junior out. goin' away? -sean? how can you do it? you don't understand. no, you don't. i've been waiting for so long. -what? all my life waiting... for you. it was supposed to be you and me. oh, no, sean, it was never going to be you and me. -why don't you love me? why? i do love you. really? as a brother. -no. sean, please... listen to me. all i've ever wanted is you. we weren't meant to be. -then i thought, "well, he'll not live forever. i'll wait." and then i see you with joe. oh, sean. i won't let you go. -what are you doing? ! i love you. no, no, no! please...help me! -get off her! take him. no! no, no! joe. -it's ok, it's ok, it's ok. sssh. it's ok. what are they going to do to him? he killed davy. -we're gonna put it right. no! no! joe, no! open up! -police! let him go. you'll not die by the hand of a mcdonagh man. the dogs'll have you. oh, no! -stop! stop it right there! it's gone too far, mr boyd. you said you'd keep him in. this is for us to deal with. -boyd! i confess! i confess! i killed davy. hold those dogs! -mr boyd, get out of the way. get out of the way. d'you wanna go back to prison? you've been there once. joe, listen to him. -you gonna ruin your life? a life you could spend with ester? enough of this talk! turn the dogs loose. keep those dogs back! -keep them back. this is your daughter. the children took this from you. i told them it's bad luck to take what belongs to the dead. subtitles by red bee media - 2007 -there you go. no more waiting in line. how about getting in? it's free. the number's here. -that gets you free entry for a year. what if it wears away or i lose you're late, pele. tonight, yeah. ok. -ok. see you then. how are you doing? good. how's things? -how are you doing? when did you guys meet? we... we ran into each other at the door. come on, hurry. -how's things? there's no time left. come on. but i only just got here. let me sit for a couple of minutes. -no! the stands are going wild for you. can't you hear? barbo! fill those glasses! -we'll be right back. did you sort something out? the doctor's all set. i got an appointment for tomorrow. you did? -you're fantastic, nail! hey, get moving. you show them! watch out for this guy! here comes the king of the universe! -good luck. take care of yourself. i will. nail, you're late. tonight, yeah. -football is neverjust football. you played so well. thanks. you're a cure for my thirst and king of the field, nail! everything about your game gets better every day, nail. -that's what progress is. you have yesterday, then today. you think over what you've done. and when it's your turn to play again... you're a whole different guy. -you see? toa is there with you every moment of your life. well thanks, abi. hey, the guy played football. he wasn't in the debating olympics! -the more effortlessly you do something the easier it looks. the point is to be able to see the subtlety involved. don't get him started on toa again! you say don't get him started, but i've never heard him say a word. so just take it from us. -absolutely. hey, where are the beers? i did all that running for you and you just get drinks for yourselves. the bar's about to close and there's still people turning up. you're going to get lucky with these guys just coming in. -i can't handle a new relationship. why not? i'm still thinking over the last one. i forget the teapot's on the i sense my mind is elsewhere... -i leave the tea brewing... wait, are you saying you check out everyone who walks in... and figure out which of you'll land who? no, of course not. are you kidding, nil? -no way! would these guys do a thing like that? exactly. you got it, nil. this jerk told me straight out that he'd landed -i was honest. god! no! god knows what would happen if you didn't do the thinking-over thing. i do and what happens? -just look at me! so hang on. did the same thing happen when i first turned up? you see? that's toa for you. -sure, but we look at it differently. i feel it. look, she's coming my way. is she trouble or a gift from god? i can't tell. -but she's coming my here goes then... there they are. hey, where have you been? looking at wedding dresses. -i'm wrecked. my cousin, nil. she's here from edirne for the wedding. hi. hello. -meaning she's here in summer. so are you angry now? but it's bullshit, that thing you do. not at all. i sensed something would happen. -i realised the moment i set eyes on you. that's her, i thought. she's here. would anyone ever understand what happened to me when i saw you? well, i figured you'd be the only one. -so i clung on to you. aren't you getting more beers? hey, go on nail. get out and play, score a goal, nail. bring the beers nail! -listen to that! barbo, pull us four pints. sure. i talked to the guy. everything's fixed. -how are you? how do you think? terrible. it'll be over, pelin. everything is. -nothing's ever over. if only tomorrow would just be done. i've had enough. and what's keeping cenk? i don't get it. -he's a mess too. he's really rattled. he's been wandering about like a i was with him during the day. we went to the doctor together. -i'll go see if she's ok. pele, your beers are all set. excuse us... is something up with pelin? she's a little sick. -she's a bit down. cenk's not around either. could you guys be hiding something from me? why would we hide anything? where did you get that idea? -cenk, where the hell are you? i just got here. just walked in. here he is. hi. -how's things, nil? how are you? good thanks, cenk. you? ok. -not bad. where's pelin? out the back. is she ok? what do you think? -she's been waiting hours for you. i wasn't out there partying. i got a car set up. that's good. ok. -she won't have to drag around in taxis. anyway, i'll see if she's ok. right. see you then. see you. -so what's wrong with pelin? you're definitely hiding something. the paranoia's setting in. you asked for it, nil. over to you. -look, don't any of you get the feeling the guy's telling the truth? all this stuff, what nil just said... isn't that the start of something? ok, abi. run us through then. -look, what's going on? who's paranoid? what's up with pelin? it's a hunch, not paranoia. you know, the hunch you just had. -you just asked about pelin, right? yes. well, we call that toa. she's a bit better. cenk turned up too. -meaning? toa. think over again. meaning? toa isn't paranoia. -with toa, nothing's valid if it doesn't have a rational explanation. the rule is that the more answers an opinion offers, the more valid it you see, experiences unfold as they're perceived... and the reality comes out much later. look, all the lies in the world are now coming out one by one, right? -thanks to the toa guys. exactly, thanks to the toa guys. we're off, guys. ok. ok? -see you then. i'm really sorry. i'm just not up to sticking around. no problem. it's closing time in a bit. -so we'll be out of here too. when the gentleman's done with his philosophising... see you then. take care. see you. -i'm not asking anything. go on, i'm listening. toa has zero interest in the future... because there's no way of knowing what will happen in the future. the crucial thing is the past. -because it's already happened. experiences unfold as they're perceived. and the reality is always hidden deep, deep down. do you mind waiting outside? it's getting too crowded in here. -ok. i'll go and join the others then. see you when you're done. ok? ok. -don't worry. the woman kicked me out. she said it was too crowded in there. they're better off anyway just girls together. i don't get it. -you had this coming. why don't you take precautions? you never heard of condoms? you pick now of all times to say that? the girl's sitting up there shit scared for god's sake... -i'm confused anyhow. i just can't get my head round it. i think, right it's like that. and it turns out like it says in the book. everything has its place. -there's an explanation for everything. the questions are obvious, likewise the answers. everything i figure out by myself is there. if you can figure it out by yourself then you don't need those books. they're for people who can't. -plus what does wearing a condom have to do with religious books? ok, let's say 100 million years ago in the virgin forests of africa... a tree grows old and topples over. would you say that tree fell down or not? well, you said it. -it fell down. what if no one saw it or heard it? no one at all? right. don't come unstuck. -the tree fell down. it fell down. don't be like this, pelin. look, you and i were with sevgi that time. ok. -i'll be fine in a minute. come on, let's go. hey, what are you doing? you've devoured that ciggie. i'm thinking. -he's thinking things over again. exactly... exactly... abla! this is an operating theatre! -you can't come in. everything's fine. but those screams! what's going on? it's ok. -i'll let you know. come let me know what? out of the way! i'll let you know how she is. -girls, the doctor's very tired today. call me tomorrow for an ok. let's go. this is just ridiculous. -it's ridiculous. hey, what's up? where are you going? what's going on? what are you doing here? -come on. we can talk at home. g ven, you drive. what's going on? your parents know you're here, right? -we don't want it being a problem. no, i told them anyway. guys, i didn't sleep at all last night. you won't be mad at me, will you? no problem. -do as you like. wait. let me get rid of that. g ven, we're staying over tonight too. but there's that gig this -sure. but we can all come back together when it's over. ok. i'll take care of everything. don't you worry about it, ok? -i'm scared. suppose we gave up on the abortion? suppose we didn't go through with it? don't be funny, cenk. why? -aren't we doing it because we don't have any choice? if we gave ourselves a choice, then we wouldn't have to do it. it's all the same for you of course, whichever way. what am i supposed to tell everyone? my parents? -tell them we're getting married. what's wrong? wouldn't you marry me? i don't know. if you asked, i'd think about it. -well, listen to that! ok. will you... marry me? of course i'll marry you. -look, the boat's something like that. hi there. hi. how are you doing? good. -you? so you cracked open the beers already! well, i guess we made a start. how are you, guys? there should be some beers in the fridge. -help yourself. nail, get us a give me a break! you have no shame, do you? let me go right now and find my dad. -i'll talk to him, see what he says. how about we have a double wedding? would we make it in time for sevgi's? not a chance. ok, so we'll have the honeymoon before the wedding. -i'm off then. you leave with the others. don't stick around on your own. see you tonight. i'm off. -hi, nil. see you tonight, guys. enjoy the gig, ok? i can't make ok, bye then. -what's up with him? what do you think? toa. that's for sure. i'll explain later. -ok. look, here's where you eat. let's get out of here. why? nil's here now. -it's all cosy. that's what i mean. nil's here you're unbelievable! you little flirt! -come on. let's go then. guys, we're off. i have to pick up those brochures. we can check them out in the bar. -i take my bag. what's up, guys? i'm out of socks. we'll get some down at the market. he's really losing it. -nil, don't be late... get there before sevgi and co, ok? hey, come on! i've had it with you! how are you doing? -good. what's that smile for? nice things always make me smile. what are those nice things then? don't you think it's nice being alone just the two of us after all this -it's very nice. you're very nice... you're beautiful. i'm actually, well, a bit scared. does it hurt? -i'm scared too. i mean, of hurting you. so you know you're... actually, i'm also... what's the matter? -you know you keep asking about pelin? yes. she went to the doctor today. she's pregnant. they were going to go for an abortion. -we didn't tell you. well, she said not to tell you. ok. she's right, of course. well, i suddenly thought of that. -then cenk. i haven't done that before. and when you said, you know... i really love you. i love you too. -i love you so much. poor girl. imagine the state she's in. no, no. i think they dropped the -although i don't know for sure. i'll find out from cenk tonight. i understand. well, i guess kissing's ok. course it is. -ok then. i'm just going to... i'll be right back. ok. justice is the cornerstone of the nation state -they said life was beautiful, guys who know right from wrong... they said there was still hope if you loved other people... they said life was short if you didn't have happiness... they said you'd never get away with the things you did in this world... they said good people were winners and evil was a disaster... -they said that to be happy you just had to make people happy... they said good people were winners and evil was a disaster... they said that to be happy you just had to make people happy... i thought things over again... they weren't lying... -i thought things over again... they weren't lying... they said good people were winners and evil was a disaster... they said that to be happy you just had to make people happy... they said good people were winners and evil was a disaster... -come on, out with it. we can talk later. forget it for now. hey, come on. you're torturing us here. -let's down these beers before barbo wakes up. nail, get us some beers. come on then. come with me. hang on a second. -give us a break. look, they're about to play your song. don't miss it. i'll catch it later then. now come on. -what's going on? so how was the gig? fantastic. i'm crazy for those guys. well, what happened? -i was going to talk to cenk tonight. i guess they gave up on the idea. what happens now then? they'll get married. there you go, a classic toa case. -cenk's truly stupid. look, the guy's scared. what of? he's not scared of marriage? how are you, pelin? -i'm fine. you? so what are you going to do now? did you put it off a few days? she won't say a word. -it's enough to drive you crazy. we can find another doctor if you like. i think that's been taken care of. nail told her everything on the way here. this is what we're going to do. -i'm going to go to one of nil's dad's doctor friends for regular good. that's great. wait a second. how do you mean? -regular check-ups? what's going on? well, we gave up on the idea. so... we're getting married. -i don't believe it! that's fantastic! wow! fabulous! i'm so happy! -i don't get it. i never will. what's going on? it's fantastic news. you heard? -of course we did. don't think we got these beers in at this time of night for nothing. so you nail, you told them on the quiet. hang on. don't blame him. -i figured from the way cenk left. i'd have been amazed if you hadn't. you always figure everything out. yes, honeymoon people. here you go. -take a look. give them here. i don't believe it. it's amazing! wow! -fabulous. guys, it's going to be fantastic, you know. anyone who bunks out is in big trouble. are you crazy? it's a blue cruise for real. -sure. nothing but the best. you only go on honeymoon once in your life. how can you say that! you won't come on mine when i get married? -sure we will. why not? ladies and gentlemen, let's make this a tradition. rule number one, guys. first thing the morning after the wedding we cash in the gold and beat -then here we come marmaris, datga, bozburun... wait a second. i want no rowdy behaviour at the wedding. got that?

you're all chilled out. -i screwed the fucker. made her my wife. there's more and more of us all the time. how's it going to end? bug-eyes! -where's the thing round here? just do it anywhere. why bother looking?

nothing. what's the deal? couldn't get the little fucker up? -what was that? shut your fucking mouth, asshole! what's going on? wise up. he should watch his mouth then. -what did i do? i was only kidding. fuck off! just watch your mouth. where's the bitch?

there was a trainee, a bug-eyed idiot... -a peasant whose leg got broken. there was you. and there was this psycho, selim, in charge of them all. tell me that's bullshit! so what are we going to do? -we fucked up. we have to finish the thing off. we have to kill them all, one by one. then torch the place and leave. fuck! -are you kidding? what do you mean, are you kidding? have we left anyone in good shape? we've fucked them all. we've smashed them all up. -that bastard went and slashed the bitch, cut her to shreds. you smashed that bitch's head on the counter. we all did away with that sod of a barman's carcass. are you telling me after all that you can't kill anyone? untie that lot. -trainee! trainee! where the fuck are you? where the fuck have you been? i had to take a leak, abi. -fuck your leak. now come here. untie that lot. go on. let's hear their last requests then. -it's all your fault. we said we should go. i said the girls were uptight and we should go. i said the girls were uptight. fuck your beer, g ven. -let's go, i said. fuck your beer, g ven. the girls are uptight, i said. sevgi said let's go. nail said let's go. -it's all your fault, g ven. it's all your fault. shut it! we're responsible for whatever happens wherever we're hanging out. have you fucking got that?

-you'd have died of blood loss anyway. we'll just send you packing early. let's go for it then. boss... i'll do it. -are you fucking serious? i'd even go fuck his mother. good man! what a trainee! here. -come on, kid. come on. so you're going to kill us and casually walk out of here. obviously you don't have a conscience. it's not like you won't sleep -you took something from me tonight. you stole something. but i know it didn't get to be yours. come on! that's the kind of animal you are! -a destructive, full-of-shit animal! there's a thousand ways of living life. and you picked the shittiest with a following of crooks, dogs, assholes who do anything you want. are you taking the piss? -shoot the guy! you can't put quotas on love. to love someone doesn't mean you have to hate someone else. but you have a small heart. everything about you is small. -you get that? every thing about you is small! that's not the way to do it. aynur, i love you! you do it like this. -your honour, if now's a good time, i'd like to have a quick word with i have a couple of things to say. please... honestly, it'll be very yes. -i'm listening. as a matter of fact, this lot have nothing in their defence. but the trainee's situation is different. it's in the girls' statements. he didn't raped anyone and wasn't there when the barman was killed -nor could he bring himself to kill nail. and if what he told me is he kept the others distracted in the hope the police would turn up. he also let pelin escape. actually none of this is in his statements because he's scared of the -he's different from the others. and his verdict should be different. there's no evidence but those are the facts, you're saying. unfortunately, yes. that's the way it is. -we'll have to see. it's clear what we have to go on. it's clear how we should proceed. we'll look at the evidence and the statements and make a verdict. i'm bad. -bad! and i've got balls. i do whatever i want. and now i'm going to kill you. why are you doing this? -but you just don't understand me, sweetheart. why do i show up here at the bar halfway through the night? because if i show up any other time the jerk on the door won't let me in. why won't he let me in? because of the way i look. -because of the way i act. because of the way i speak. he'd say i was some exhaust guy and tell me to fuck off. and let's say i did get in. then what would happen? -the morons there would stare at me just like you did. wouldn't they say what are these animals doing here? what a great time we were having before they showed up. of course they would. didn't you fucking say that? -yes, you did. anyway... where were we? here trainee, take this. drop the gun! -police! the verdict. the verdict's been reached. i'll read it out shortly. but i want to ask you a question... -why? mr judge... we wanted to be friends. cut it out. i'm giving you a life sentence. -your friend gets the same too. put into language you'd understand, you'll be in and out in five or six you'll be in and out in a couple of years. go ahead, your honour. it is the verdict of this court to sentence the accused selim ketenci... -under article 81 of the turkish penal code for the brutal torture and of victim tarýk güven gölbaþý and to deprive the accused for life... of public services as under article 53 of the turkish penal code... officer! can you stop there a minute? -ok. you can go. you're a man of the law. know your limits. don't overstep them. -here, take this. this phone will put you right in touch with a bunch of hard-core guys... who are waiting for you to make your decision. look... we're still trying to get over what happened that night... -to get over everything that vanished from our lives. we still can't look each other in the face. because we think back to that night. and we're ashamed of what was done now i can't make a decision given all that. -if we're trying on the one hand to act as if they never entered our we can't then hand them a death sentence. we're not that kind of people. now when i think again... i mean, when i think things over again... -i'm now convinced that what happened that day, in the bar... things deep down and close to the heart should just stay there. it's all been like a tough test. the toughest kind. life should decide if we passed or not. -it'll do that anyway. fair enough, nail. i really miss you. i wish we could be together all the time. i want to hold you in my arms and sleep. -let's hold each other for days on end. with no one else around. let the world be forjust you and me. just the two of us. just the two of us. -whenever we're not together i start missing you right away. so do i. excuse me. what is the time? get lost! -get out of here! what was he so steamed up about? i'd have said if he asked. forget it! come on, we're late anyway. -ow. stop worrying, anna. i'm not. it's mom and dad. it's all good, sweetie. -i just thought that i was gonna help you move, that's all. mom and dad want you to keep an eye on me, don't they?

-in case it's nothing, i don't want them to think i'm nuts. i think i left that open. ahhh! what the fuck is that? -what kind of wingnut is scott? i think... i think he's an animator. mm, enough said. can you do me a favor? -dani? not a frickin' wink. i just think ryan might have something to do with this. again with ryan. he's weird. -he's not weird, just a little egotistical. danielle, he lives on a boat. with no bathroom. year round. you know, he doesn't even sail. -who lives like that? you like him, don't you? captain nemo? it's okay. i broke up with him. -so go for it. i don't like it. it's slimy. have you ever tried it? no. -now who's weird? oh my god. i had this one guy in today. his name is mr. ferguson. he's kind of good-looking for an old guy. -he's in for this really extensive root canal, and he just cannot stop spitting when i'm trying... can you feel it? feel what? the house. it's like i'm... -being watched? no. it's not like before. i'm not running around a restaurant thinking i'm a secret agent or that my molars are bugged. i'm not paranoid. -but i got cooper to lower my dosage to 10 mils. why? because the 20 mils were making me fat and all i did was sleep. it's not the meds, okay? and it's not in my head. -there's something about this house. whoo, okay. is that this house? oh, that's creepy. can you send an email or something?

"it is believed that zymytryk mesmerized a man at the point of death and buried him alive on september 2nd, 1906. whereabouts... unknown." see? september 2nd. -just three weeks before i moved in. that doesn't mean anything. danielle, you don't even know who put that site together. just some guy who's into zymytryk. watch this. -there's no sound. holy shit, this is perfect. i just found my thesis. danielle, that's not a thesis. it's just a bunch of bullshit. -you don't even know if any of it's true. but my fear is... and that's what i'm going to study. i'll call it "a dissertation on spectrophobia... real or imagined?" the fear of things that go bump in the night. -i'll keep a video journal and be my own subject. i can't wait to tell hoffsteen. i just need to get my thoughts together. fuck it. i sound just like anna. -she doesn't come right out and say it, but i know she thinks i'm delusional or paranoid again. but that secret room... that room proves to me that something is in this house, and zymytryk did something awful here. that gramophone cylinder must be the key. for my own sanity, i have to keep digging. it's weird. -i don't feel anything in the house anymore. but i'm almost... it's almost like i'm too afraid to say what i feel. um... i have blackouts. not blackouts, not really. -i know what i'm doing. i... i'm there but i'm not there. i see, i feel... ugh. i see and feel things, but... it's like... -look, i don't like you and... well, you don't like me. that's not true and you know it. but this is about danielle, okay? what? -what's wrong? she found this stuff at her new place. what kind of stuff? just listen, nemo. i think she's starting to have another one of her episodes, and... and this... well, this stuff is only making it worse. -i have to work during the day, and our folks are way out in woodbridge. i mean, i know this is asking a lot of you, but please... it's okay, i get it. check in on her. yeah, she broke my fucking heart, but i'll always be there for her. -are you sure? the question is are you sure? hi, you've reached dani. i can't take your call right now, so please leave me a message and i'll get back to you. thanks, bye. -danielle, professor hoffsteen. spectrophobia, while... while an interesting subject, might not be taken seriously as a topic for a master's thesis. also, you missed our appointment this afternoon. call my office to reschedule. -i was going to... i was going to play the cd but... it's like i already know what's on it. like it's a dream i remember, or even a part of me. is my fear fueling my imagination, or is my imagination fueling my fear? it feels too real inside me to be my imagination. -i should talk to hoffsteen. i have these... yes, talk to hoffsteen. what the...? what the fuck is the matter with me? -hello? hello, professor hoffsteen. it's danielle velayo. how are you? i'm good. -look... i was thinking you could... come over to my place tomorrow night. we could have dinner, talk about old times, and my thesis. we have to discuss the viability of it first. how about monday at 4:00 in my office? -okay, professor, whatever you say. hey, there. i'm danielle, by the way. what's your name? it... it sucks. -i hate it. come on, it can't be that bad. jacob. you're right. it does suck. -what's that? it's for a game i made up. how... how do you play? when it's ready, you'll be the first i show. -hi, there. hi. i just... is everything okay? i'm good. and you? -good. i just wanted to make sure everything was okay. anna stopped by and... you know, she... what the fuck did she tell you? nothing. -just to... just to stay the hell away from you. sorry. it's cool. hey... did you find a topic for your thesis? sort of. -come on in, we can talk about it. i gotta get to class. it will only take a minute. i can make you a snack. hello? -i got your message. yeah, dinner sounds great. good. hey, ryan stopped by. seems like you two are getting real close. -it's not like that. i mean, if he's bothering you... no, he's not bothering me. not anymore. gotta get back to work. -see you tonight. okay, bye. did you get that cylinder transferred? mm. it's all good, sweetie. -what was on it? nothing. just some old song. would you set the table? can i listen to it? -i told you, it's nothing. what's gotten into you? would you set the table, please? but the drinking and... that smells like some kind of weird meat. danielle, you don't eat meat. -just go set the fucking table. listen, i know you're stressed, but don't take it out on me. sorry. it's just... sorry. what is that? -goulash. dig in. thanks. oh my god. is that cashews? -i love cashews.

"notes that sleep, let them keep" or he will be free to have you. and if the notes don't keep, find crowe buried under the gargoyle at cromwell. -play them. play the notes for crowe, and the spell shall cease. after a century, may god have mercy on his soul as i certainly do not. you and zymytryk are really one and the same... self-righteous fucks trying to control everyone. and i'm really no different from danielle. -we're both... misunderstood. you know... she told me all about you. always the favorite, always the perfect one... always the fucking harlot who's got to take what's not hers. we know you're fucking ryan. it's all good, sweetie. -you can tell us the truth. dani doesn't mind. shh. but you want to, don't you? huh-uh. -you lie. huh-uh. now if we can't count on our little pretty sister to tell us the truth, who can we count on? hmm? by the way... -danielle's the one who wants you dead, not i. i tried to stop her. i'd like to tell you it'll be over soon, but it won't. huh-uh. like zymytryk's grandson... it took him nearly four glorious hours. -danielle! danielle! ah, master jacob from down the street. danielle? -when it rains, it pours. you won't go anywhere, will you? my chain fell off. aw, it's all good, sweetie. i'll fix it, okay? -okay. ah! all fixed. shit, it's still broke. fuck me. -i see the problem. oh. ah. okay, good as new. come back later and we'll play that game, okay? -cool. anna! anna! can you hear me? danielle, are you awake? -what are you doing? calling the cops. go ahead, it's your word against mine and i'm the one tied up. and the cops can't help you get your sister back. anna? -what are you doing? anna? please. what are you doing? i'm going to cromwell, danielle. -i'm gonna fix this. anna? anna, you'll never find me. jacob... where's that little shit when i need him? -# jacob. # jacob. hey. you want to play that game now? danielle? -no, it's jacob. who? jacob, from down the street. oh my god, are you okay? -relax, lady. i'm just playing danielle's game. jacob, listen to me. get out of there as fast as you can, do you hear me? it's not... -it's not a game. it's... just get out of there, jacob. no, it's okay. but... danielle says that you only went 20 minutes. -no! i'm gonna break your record, lady. jacob... jacob, um... the game's already started. -he can't talk now. danielle, listen to me. you can't do this. be back soon. or you'll miss the game, and especially jacob. -don't let me have all the fun, okay? danielle, danielle, listen to me! danielle? shit. it's gone. -zymytryk? come! no. come! how? -come, i'll show you. this is impossible. nothing is impossible. come. if you want to save your sister, please! -you're a big boy, aren't you? you ever heard the story about the scorpion and the crane? no? well... it's the story i tell all my special boys. once upon a time, on a sunny day, the scorpion and the crane met on the banks of a river. -and the scorpion asked the crane for a ride to the other side. the crane said, "no. you're going to hurt me." and the scorpion said, "i won't, because if i do, -i'll die too." well, the crane had to think about that for a minute. yes, i've stayed alive reinventing myself as needed for the last century. professor hoffsteen is merely my latest identity. you're... -you're dani's teacher. but how do you do it? you mesmerize yourself? the mind is far more powerful than most could ever imagine. over here... over here by that gargoyle. -but why dani? because she opened the music box? yes, but my experiment should have expired on september 2nd. something went wrong. yeah. -i never meant... i never meant to hurt anyone except crowe. i never thought he would ever rise again and kill. but he is stronger than i thought. this is all my doing. -i must make it right. get the shovel. dig. over here. after a long think, the crane agreed to carry the scorpion across the river. -so the scorpion climbed aboard... and they were off. crowbar for crowe. but when they reached midstream, the scorpion stung the crane, and the crane yelled, "why'd you do that? now we'll both die." and the scorpion whispered as they sank, -"i'm sorry. i can't help myself. it's my nature." okay, here. take that. -when i play the music, his soul will leap again into me. you must promise me something. take this pistol. you kill me and you kill him. it's the only way to end this. -if you don't, he... i... will kill you. and no matter what i say, kill me. you understand? uh-huh. -where is the music box? it's in my bag. crowe, can you hear me? can you hear me? can you hear me? -come to me, crowe. can you hear me? come to me, crowe. come to me. come to me. -you're too late. he didn't leap. he's not here. don't shoot! oh my god. -th... this game sucks. come on, let's get you home. thanks for having me, danielle. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. -it's over. it's over. no. he's still here. i can feel him. -can't you feel him? danielle? subtitles by leapinlar 'anesthesia awareness' 'anesthesia awareness' a phenomena whereby a patient appears to be under general anesthetic during an operation, but has in fact regained consciousness, thus experiencing the entire process of the operation. -although victims of anesthesia awareness experience all the pain of the operation, the fact that they have been administered a muscle relaxant means they have no way of expressing the pain. such an experience causes serious emotional problems for those that suffer it. at least half of victims develop post-traumatic stress disorder. sangnoksu hospital, 1982 start counting and you'll go to sleep. -one, two, three, four... scalpel. eighteen, nineteen... twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five... don't! -stop! stop! stop it! don't! stop! -don't! stop it! it takes very long today. this guy's dad is head of dongyang medical instruments, so i want to sew him up right. that okay with you? -sang-u's father. you may not like the idea of a therapist, but it's fine. it would just be a basic examination. how do you feel today? in a bad mood? -will you show me where they did your operation? did it hurt a lot after the operation? during the operation. during the operation? they cut me here. -it hurt so much. sang-u, did you see the doctor performing the whole operation? you must have had your eyes open. they were closed. it hurt. -it really hurt! so i shouted at them to stop, but i couldn't move! hey! i told you, you dreamt it. you were anaesthetized. -otherwise how could they operate? i'm not lying! why don't you believe me? they cut me with a knife, then a saw, then branded me! they twisted, stabbed, and sewed me up! -just like that! right here! oh no... right here! mum, i'm not lying. -the doctors laughed and said they had to sew me up nicely. i heard everything! i don't think he's lying on purpose. but at his age, it's easy to confuse imagination and reality. and he has had a big operation... -i'm not lying! go away! go away! go away! kim myung-min -kim tae-woo jeong yoo-seok kim yoo-mi directed by lee gyu-man after 25 years -did you have that dream again? come here... come here. hello? wow! you sound happy! -fine weather today. isn't it? so it's only a shame if your dead. listen. even the police have said i'm innocent. -please just stop this now. so... you're not responsible? you think being interrogated by the police a few times is enough? it's hard for doctors to lose a patient. -really? is it hard? really hard? want me to show you a really hard time? see if you find it hard to lose your wife! -hey, lee myeong-seok. if you even go near my wife, i'll put you behind bars, you hear me! you fucking bastard. you think i'll let myself be caught while your wife is still alive? -you son of a bitch! you doctors should all be exterminated! this is all my fault! i should never have taken you on. it's my fault that you lost your job. -you've only just realized? shall we open a restaurant. you think anyone can do that? i'm just a writer. fine. -have a nice life. i'm off now. bye. don't come out. just go. -his liver is smashed like a dropped piece of tofu. so shouldn't we just sew him up? i was kind of expecting it. bovie. how long will it take? -five or six hours. externer. dr. ryu, you really tire me out. you are a pain. out of my way. -what do you think? will he live? have to wait and see. why should i exhaust myself operating on a hopeless case like that? you should stop taking on these ones. -you've been through so much shit, you should spare yourself more. i've got a date today. don't change the subject. you know i'm just concerned for you. you're just jealous. -you just can't stop taunting me. you have a date every day! oh, and dr. jang... jealous, aren't you? hey, it hurts! -see ya! hello? yes. is it pretty? yes. -what color is it? it's blue. right, now the bird flies away. you will feel even more deeply relaxed. when i count to three, you will wake up. -one, two, three. hey, can i get one of these?

no, i'm kidding. it's hilarious! by the way, you really haven't contacted anyone yet? -no. i came to see you, you bitch. really? do you remember? when we were young, we cut our hands and exchanged blood. -really? what blood? you can't remember? then you said this: 'we're brothers now.' can't remember? -did i? as long as one of us remembers. uk- hwan, will you stay here tonight? no, i should go. i've got a hotel room. -why? stay the night? no. no... hey, uk- hwan! -thank you for dinner. i'm all right. see you tomorrow. call me tomorrow. come again, uk- hwan! -all right. i had a good time. go inside! i'll see you off. nobady knew. -nobody could know, and not reported to the medical professión. anyway you alive and live your life now. because of the operating. and anybody can't have responsible for that. look at this... -don't do this. you can't do this. i'm innocent, you can't do this. hey, what's wrong? hello. -i'm at the scene of the brutal murder of a young girl. the school toilet building behind me is where this unbelievable murder took place. traces of the horrific crime are still all over the building. according to police officers, the suspect could be 10 year old boy. shock! -mutilated girl's body found! suspect held in mutilated child case said to be 10 years old. shock. murderer only 10 years old! solitary treatment in psychiatric hospital ordered. -woman in 30s dies in fire. cause unknown former sangnoksu hospital anesthetist and wife killed in a car explosión. the former leader of sangnoksu hospital is killed in a fall. they were sons of former sangnoksu hospital psychiatrist kim hyeong-seok, who died last year. -associates of the former doctor at sangnoksu hospital. under investigation for possible motives sangnoksu hospital bovie. open him up! -so i can get my hands in. body temperature up to 99.3 degrees! his pulse is speeding up. his muscles are stiff. nurse kim, give him some nobalgin now! -ok! dr. ryu, we need to stop and cover him up. it's malignant hyperthermia. already? the body temperature is going up. -ice pack! massage him now! it's 100 degrees. did you give him dantrolene sodium? it's not working. -it's gone up to 102 degrees. dr. jang! i've injected sodium bicarbonate. suction! 108 degrees! -like we were concerned about familial outbreak, his pulse got quicker after we opened his stomach, as expected. he showed signs of malignant hyperthermia, his muscles stiffened and his temperature was rocketing. all right. -and you gave him dantrolene? yes. it had no effect. we stopped operating and cooled him down. he's having a tumor removed? -yes. as you can see, the tumor's size and position means it can be cleanly cut out. if we try hard, we can help this patient. the problem is, if we give him another general anesthetic, he could get malignant hypothermia again. try using another anesthetic. -well... if we use another one there's at least an 80-90% chance the malignant hypothermia will return. so we can't anesthetize him. there's nothing we can do. abandon the operation. o chi-hun mental hospital -dr. ryu, it's been a long time. how are you doing? no, go ahead, it's all right. hypnotic anesthesia? hypnotic anesthesia? -dr. o chi-hun has also made a careful decisión. decisión? what are you...? you can go to jail with this. this is driving me insane. -why are you mixing with a guy like him? i didn't want to bring this up, but... a year or two ago, when i went out with the single doctors... what the...? okay, fine. -forget everything up to now. we all take up our hidden cards. the highest card drinks all this and the lowest card takes a penalty. good. okay, okay! -one, two and on three we do it together. one, two, three! great, keep drinking. drink, drink! your secrete is hided in there. -where is it? one, two, three. but... i can't remember what he asked me or what answers i gave. i really think i was hypnotized. -is it that easy to get hypnotized? exactly. and i'd had a lot to drink... but since then... i've had repeated nightmares. -nightmares? i think they're because of the hypnosis. no way! have you told dr. o? are you mad? -you still don't know how strange the guy is? dr. o, come in! it's been a long time. it has. this is dr. jang seok- ho, the anesthetist. -i think you know each other. it's been a long time. sit down. i'm leaving. dr. jang... -sorry i said nothing earlier. i asked him to come here to talk about the operation. jae-u, it's jun-ho from la. it's little bit late, but congratulation. i heard uk-hwan went to korea - has he been to see you? -uk-hwan is... no... give me a call. my number is 213-487-5911 think about it, dr. jang. this patient has no hope without an operation. -if dr. o is certain about this, please support me and let's do this. support? an anesthetist supporting a psychiatrist in the operating theatre? and what's this about certainty? i don't trust a guy like that, even if he swears on it! -have i come too early? uk- hwan! you're really messed up today. expecting anyone else? anyway, i'm not doing the operation. -if you want to play with fire, do it yourself and don't drag me in. dr. jang... dr. jang! dr. ryu. this has succeeded often abroad, but it's the first time in korea. -and he's an anesthetist. you should've approached him carefully. i'm sorry, dr. o. what can i say? i'll contact you again according to the patient's schedule. all right. -nice to meet you. oh, yes... i'm off. all right. take care. -sang-u. sang-u. sang-u's painful memories and even his aggressive tendencies will be shut away by hypnotism. did it hurt a lot after the operation? dr. choe. -yes, did you find out? yeah, about mr. na. what? to america? so he just sold off his company? -and sang-u went to america, too? all right. thanks for your work. don't! stop! -stop! don't! stop! stop! stop! -don't! how about that? is it comfortable? you'll feel deep silence. just like now, you'll feel it in operating... -thank you. what for? thank you for coming. if you feel pain or discomfort, your happiest memories will surface and all the pain will be forgotten. he's been doing this for 30 minutes. -what am i doing? you're going into a deeper and deeper place. that place is full of comfort. what was that noise? you'll feel the wind... -fucking bullshit! we're all dead if we keep this up! prepare the anesthetic kit! walk on the narrow path, you'll... you'll sleep deeply, but be peaceful. -a deep sigh from the wind sends your mind to sleep. how do you feel? are you more comfortable? yes. all right, good. -from now until the end of the operation, you will hear nothing except for my voice. dr. jang! what's up with you today? acting so thoughtlessly. okay, i was wrong. -i've never seen such a show before. so what? ryu jae-u, you really are wonderful! hey, seok- ho! hold on to what you have now! -you'll regret it if you lose it. are you back? have you read the whole book? yeah. wow. -you had a phone call today. dr. ko chang-su?

good question. -now that we've exchanged blood, we're brothers. 'we're brothers now.' can't remember? did i? hey, damn ryu jae-u. my wife is lonely in the hell. -you send your wife to the hell, and make my wife not feel lonely. hello? hey! you know your woman's cheating on you? hello? -i said your wife's cheating on you. i saw her cheating today with my own eyes, you bitch. son of a bitch! i told you to stay away from my wife. you moron, can't even keep your missus under control! -hey... hey! so you are here! what were you doing? leaving the light off in the dark. have you eaten? -i felt a bit sick. why? you eat something bad? what did you have for lunch? lunch? -i guess i missed lunch too. what? you've eaten nothing all day? i felt dizzy in the park today. because you had an empty stomach. -i think i was stung by a bee. somewhere around here. it stung, but it's not swollen so maybe i'm wrong. what are you talking about? you should have gone to hospital! -a hospital? why, when i've got a doctor at home? your face is drawn and your eyes are sunken. look at me, hui-jin. your face is so white! -jae-u. what? let's move house. why this, all of a sudden? let's move house. -why should we move house? it's busy at the hospital right now. let's talk about this again at the weekend, all right? have a rest. call if you need me. -wait! call prof. choe. ok. hui-jin, we almost there, stay with me. hui-jin, please... -what is that? i'm not sure. looks like a solid object. if it was a ruptured spleen, there would be some pancreatin. if it was the pancreas, other organs would have started melting. -what's that? hey, she's hemorrhaging! call prof. choe and prepare the theatre! he's on holiday in suncheon. dr. jeong, then? -he's off duty but i'll call him. get moving! prepare five bags of blood! are you mad? leaving this to dr. jeong? -don't be absurd! he's just an intern! dr. ryu. i know this is hard for you, but shouldn't you lead the operation? if dr. jeong can't do it, i'll transfer her to another hospital. -she's in a bad way! no other doctor would take her on! then we'd try another hospital. hey, ryu jae-u. you can't do this. -what are you thinking?

he's threatened my wife for a long time. yes, i know, but that's not enough for a murder accusation. and the nisi deemed it impossible for the foreign object in seo jin-hui's stomach to have been introduced by someone. -what do you mean? it is now highly unlikely that seo hui-jin was murdered. what? so something like that just appears in someone's body? are you a doctor? -you don't know what you're talking about! this is murder! murder! let's put an end to this now. all right?

it was just a show! what the hell? you scared me! -we were all very drunk and thought it was another of dr. jang's jokes. i wasn't too drunk to let myself fall for that. and i heard dr. jang's jokes very carefully. and suddenly the accident that was noised about long time ago flashe through across my mind. that's why i looked for the records of that accident again. -na sang-u... you remember it? of course i remember. a few years later, not only the child but his entire family was gone. sentience during an operation? -yes. it's very rare, but sometimes patients regain consciousness and feelings during an operation but are unable to move freely. paralyzed. the child na sang-u killed was the daughter of the surgeon that operated on him. that is no coincidence. -in my opinion, na sang-u definitely went sentient during an operation. the girl that was killed... she was my little sister. take a look at this. what's this? watch. -jang seok- ho is tickling hui-jin's sole and looking at the camera. this means he deliberately left hui-jin sentient for the operation. surely not... in my opinion, hui-jin died of shock from extreme pain. because she was not anaesthetized at the time. this is currently the only evidence. -hello? jae-u. i found out who he is. you remember na sang-u? he killed my sister. -what do you mean? where are you? your father and my father operated him. seo hui-jin's killer is on the roof of an apartment block... lee myeong-seok. -i know why the doctors of sangnoksu hospital all died. lee myeong-seok?

do you know what they did for our symphony? they put their name all over the program, that's what they do. and gave us 5 million for the privilege. -now, the next thing you can do is use your influence with the orchestra to get them to seriously consider our recent offer. you know they adore you. that's true. they adore you. no, craig g, no. -the i.a. phil, they like me. they play well, in unison, relaxed, at ease. they know each other. they... they're confident. maybe they feel more secure because they have a signed five-year contract. -contracts, contracts! you see? we're only talking about contracts and red tape! red tape, red tape all over the place. cut the red tape. -cut the red tape, okay? because if we don't talk about the music, then we're never gonna get good. if we don't talk about music, then when we go to latin america it's gonna be so problematic because i'm going to be exiled from every single country, from mexico, from colombia, from argentina, from bolivia, from paraguay, from chile, from peru, from venezuela, from... where is "hai lai?" what... what's going on?

-it puts me in a weird position with the orchestra, since they know that i work for you. weird position? i don't see any weird position. you need to find a new assistant by next week, end of story. -not the end of story! no end of story... stop, maestro! this is a ladies' room! and? -it's for ladies. gloria spoke to you about this. step outside, maestro. also, are you aware that that girl's father donated our organ and our rehearsal rooms and your apartment? -and she can't make the mate? anyone can make the mate. hey, that... that's very insulting to you. hey, how's it going, cynthia? hello, maestro. -how you doing? i'm good. this is the ladies' room. and? it's for ladies. -one day, it will be everybody's. one day. hey. hey. does he have a new assistant yet?

i'd love it. -oh, yeah. this is... this is... this is nina, our new lawyer. this is dee dee, our timpani man. dee dee, nice to meet you. and this is betty cragdale, our illustrious first-chair oboe. -35 years with the orchestra, right? yeah, i started when i was 12. i hope you're gonna kick some ass for us. i am. those guys are forgetting who makes the music here. -i just hope we don't get into a situation like in minnesota. i was in that orchestra. we were out of work for a year and a half. yeah, that's because somebody screwed up. we're not gonna do that. -it's great that you're here. the maestro's arrived. oh, shit. good morning, good morning. so great to meet you. -betty. thank you. it is so nice to meet you. hey, power to the players. yeah, yeah, see you around. -cynthia, listen, i am really looking forward to working closely with you on this. trust me, you're in good hands. you know, i think we are. thank you. listen, you got to play the cello just for me someday. -i fucking love bach. i fucking love bach too. hello. maestro. how are you. -hey, nice pitching, huh?

that's our lawyer, maestro. ay, a lawyer? on the stage? mm. -it's not very proper, right? oh, i couldn't agree more, maestro. okay. and welcome, everybody. of course, schubert, 8th symphony. -b minor, okay? and... aww. ohh. thank you, thank you. -boy, okay, guys, let's get to work, okay? sorry! i'm so sorry, maestro. we forgot to sign some papers for the adoption, and then... -christophe. right, no excuses. i'm very sorry. you know, when i was in youth orchestra, and we would arrive late, maestro rivera... you know maestro rivera... he would throw batons at us every time that we arrived late. fyah! -like that. this one... this one... is half fake. this one. and then i became really good at dodging them, you know? and after, i don't know, ten dodges or something... when i was eight or nine... he gave me the baton, and that's the reason why i'm here. -so in a few weeks, when we're in mexico city, we better be good, because maestro rivera's gonna be in the audience, and he's gonna be throwing batons at us. okay? so we don't want that, all right? okay, let's begin. ready? -and... oh, edward. so glad you're here. well, did you hear they swapped lawyers on us? yes. -she's supposed to be a shark. gloria, i believe you know executive assistant, sharon? yes, we're very angry at you for wooing her away. sharon, we miss you already. i need some protein. -could you find me some nuts? it's a little sad to have a pre-concert major-donors' lounge without any major donors in it. except for me, of course. and... you know why there's so few major donors here? i bet you'll tell me. -it's because they're not overly large fans of che guevara. they miss our old conductor, as do i. even if he is dressed like hugh hefner at the moment. hello, big man. hello, darling. -you're here. yeah. how are you? there you are. oh my god, you look ravishing. -thank you. sharon, slumming it with us this evening, huh? nice to see you. eduardo. maestro. -as i said before, you already have a great conductor. these are roasted. yes, i know... your hermano, but the question is, are you his hermano? come on, thomas, the best-reviewed concert of the year was the one you stepped in on. well, that is perfectly true, but... oh, screw it, you know the press. -look, i'm composing now. that is my gig. i'm on fire, baby. all right, now, who's ready for schubert? yes. -wow, that was enthusiastic. better give 'em some oxygen or something. let's try one more time. who's ready... for a little schubert? schubert! -thomas. thomas, you're humming. oh, i do apologize. i'm sorry. you know, i'm in such a groove with my writing. -although, christ, with that décolletage, it makes it very hard to concentrate on anything, you little vixen. hm. so what did you think? oh, of tonight's performance? yes. -well, the audience went wild for it, didn't they? the audience? yes, them. the orchestra lacks cohesion. ah, i know, i know, i know. -they've backslid a bit since the benjamin britten evening. it's... look, it's natural. two steps forward, one step back. but it's... it's also the strike thing. -it's distracting them. it's distracting me. mm, you've got to be stern papa. stern papa? oh, yeah, oh, my god, yeah. -i mean, look at the great conductors in the past. ruled with an iron fist. well, toscanini, look at that. well, he was... well, yeah. -he was a total cunt. von karajan, of course, maybe too stern. oh, uber stern. solti's a good example. very stern, hard-working, cracked the whip. -you don't want to be loved. you want to be respected. that's important. gin. cheers. -here's to... yeah. you know, maestro, would you mind if i gave you my symphony, just to look at? oh, maestro. look, i don't want to toot my own horn, but i think it's absolutely fucking brilliant. -oh, i would love nothing more, maestro. thank you. "hai lai!" it's 3:00 a.m. is it? -you said that you needed to talk. yeah. yeah, i wanted to ask you a question, and i want you to be really honest with me, okay? well, you're always honest with me. how does the orchestra feel about me? -they think that you're crazy. that's true, yeah. that's true. but they believe in you. and sometimes, they think that they love you. -do you sometimes think that you love the orchestra? sometimes? all the time. but i'm the conductor, and i must have some distance. you know, maestro rivera, he used to quote... and say... -and that means? that means that the highest cliff you can fall from is trust. you know, with closeness and familiarity, there comes disrespect. that's debatable. no, i think that's the truth, "hai lai". -nowadays, it's all the truth, yeah, yeah. aye, "hai lai." it's late. what are you doing up so late? we have to get to work. -i have to find a way of making this orchestra better, because, my god, it's terrible right now. and you? you have to find a person that makes the mate, all right? because you have to practice. okay? -okay. the falconer and the falcon must both take wing. i'm the falcon, right? bye-bye! good night! -tonight, on cancer: the emperor of all maladies... we have the opportunity to make progress at a level that we've never seen before. new treatments bring new hope. you're holding the cells in your hand that might save your life. -the cost of cancer... getting cancer is one of the worst economic things that can happen to you and the future of the fight. if the cancer cell is evolving, then so are we. the conclusion of cancer: -the emperor of all maladies. i sincerely believe that the time will come in my lifetime when we can control forms of cancer which are presently uncontrollable. -i try not to exaggerate that we have found the right key. now, whether it will open the gate into the secrecy of cancer, that remains to be seen. -if we can harness the built-in immunological system, i think we can lick cancer. again and again during the 20th century, scientists had convinced themselves -that they were on the verge of a single cure for the many diseases called cancer. but with each breakthrough, cancer revealed new layers of complexity, and lasting cures remained tantalizingly out of reach. -it's like so many dreams that we have where we can't quite reach something, where every time we grab something, it flies off like a ball in a pool because it's constantly one step out of our reach, -one step out of our reach. that is why cancer is like no other disease. the new millennium would witness more frustration, more debate among researchers. but it would also see steadily deepening understanding -of the ways cancer develops, of how it can be predicted and prevented, of how the body's own defenses can be arrayed against it. so many discoveries in so many fields that researchers have come to believe -that real, durable cures are not only foreseeable but inevitable. the cycle of discovery over the last few decades has been incredible, and we're beginning to get a clue -as to what the fundamental nature of the cancer cell is, and we're beginning to ask the question, "can we now use that knowledge "to launch a second attack, "a more sophisticated attack, -"through prevention to treatment through targeted treatments against cancer?" dick clark: in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. happy 2000. -the 21st century began with the promise of a new golden age of science as enormous progress was being made toward solving some of the most challenging problems, from the aids virus to the origins of the universe. -no realm of science seemed poised to make greater strides than cancer research. the discovery that cancer was a genetic disease in the mid-1970s -had led to the first targeted drugs, which could, with pinpoint accuracy, strike at the very abnormalities that cause cancer. herceptin homed in on the effects of a single mutation -active in about a quarter of all breast cancers. but it was the next new drug, gleevec, that especially caught the popular imagination. a simple pill active against a gene that causes cml, a deadly type of leukemia, -gleevec was the cure the cancer world had been waiting for. you could take people with hundreds of thousands of malignant white blood cells, -give them this drug, and within weeks, the disease was disappearing. many people in the cancer community were saying, "ok, cancer is going to be cured." -there is some new hope today in the battle against cancer. female newscaster: this drug opens a door to the future. could this be the beginning of a revolution in all kinds of cancer treatment? gleevec becomes the new religion. -it becomes the north star of the cancer galaxy. and everybody, and i mean everybody, is suddenly focused on trying to replicate the gleevec model. if you look at the period -between 2000 and 2005, it was truly extraordinary. we felt like we were in this golden age for cancer therapy. major investments by pharma, by biotech, and it just felt like we were going to be off to the races. -but like so many promised revolutions in cancer treatment before, targeted therapy would have to overcome the cancer cell's uncanny resilience. well, extremely quickly the question became, -"were those golden-era drugs-- "herceptin, gleevec-- outliers? were they the exception and not the rule?" the discovery that genes caused cancer in the mid-1970s -inspired a generation of scientists who decided to devote their careers to translating this insight into useful applications for patients. one of them was a young researcher -at johns hopkins university named bert vogelstein, who set out to learn more about the mutated genes that gave rise to the disease. vogelstein chose to focus on colon cancer, -a slow-moving disease that would be easy to monitor over time. our idea was very simple. you just compare the dna of a cancer cell to the dna of a normal cell from the same individual -and see where and if it's different. ok, that's a normal colon. this is what it should look like. and here's a colon cancer. if the dna is different, -then that's a very compelling argument that those alterations are responsible for the disease. when vogelstein began looking for mutated genes, the technology was primitive and the going was slow. -vogelstein: logistically, one has to look through the literally billions of base pairs in a cancer-cell genome to see what those differences are, -and that was really the challenge back then. by the end of the 1980s, after years of arduous work, vogelstein had managed to identify, not one genetic mutation in colon cancer cells, -but several. he had also figured out the exact sequence in which these abnormalities occurred. a timeline of the cancer's evolution from one genetic mutation to the next. -in the parlance of cancer researchers, he created what we call the vogelgram-- a sequence of likely events that contribute to the development of cancer, and it's not just one event. -and you could begin to think about cancer as having a history. vogelstein's work really pinned down the idea that cancer, genetically speaking, is a multi-step process. -not one gene for most cancers, but multiple genes that lead to cancer. vogelstein's results posed a series of challenging questions-- just how complex would cancer turn out to be? -how many mutations would be found within the genomes of the major cancers like those of the lung, breast, and pancreas? and how long would it take to find them all? the answers would begin to emerge -from the completion of one of the most ambitious scientific projects ever undertaken-- the mapping of every gene in the human body. bill clinton: today, the world is joining us to celebrate the completion of the first survey -of the entire human genome. without a doubt, this is the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind. the announcement of the successful completion -of the human genome project was a turning point for cancer researchers. the human genome project finally gave us a catalog of all the genes. the zip codes were all laid out. -we had a complete google maps of the genomes. we could navigate anywhere, and then when we had that, we could go searching systematically for all the genes that cause cancer. -now that they had sequenced the dna of normal cells, researchers believed they could do the same for cancer cells. then, to find the mutated genes that trigger cancer, all that would be needed would be a side-by-side comparison-- -the genes of normal cells next to the genes of cancer cells. unlike the past, where you were looking gene by gene, one by one by one, you can now look at the entire spectrum. -you can look at the landscape, as it were, of cancer and you compare, within the same individual, the normal genome, not one gene, but every single gene with every single gene that's altered in cancer. -though it seemed simple, this idea would spark a massive international effort, beginning in 2005, to collect, sequence, and analyze thousands of samples of the most common cancers. -it was called the cancer genome atlas. the cancer genome atlas was an incredible team science effort where this group got together and said, "we need to understand the atlas, -"the landscape of all of the genetic changes "that can happen in cancer "to understand what is the possibility of what can go wrong." by the spring of 2008, -the first results from the atlas were ready. the most exciting meeting was that first time where there were enough samples from brain tumors to be able to begin to say, "ok, what's new here?" -previously, you've had only a blurry view through the fog, and you could make out some of the most dramatic features, but now the fog's blown away. -you can see the whole landscape of what's there and infer truth about how those cancers happened. but as more and more results poured in, some of the initial excitement was replaced by anxiety. there could be no doubt -that what vogelstein had glimpsed in colon cancer was just the beginning. the profoundly surprising thing about the cancer genome atlas is it pointed out that cancers -are much more genetically complex than, you know, 3, 4, 5, genes. there can be 10 genes that are altered, 20 genes. in one breast cancer specimen, 110 genes were altered. even more confounding, -the majority of genetic abnormalities discovered were not familiar oncogenes, but another type of gene called a tumor suppressor gene. unlike oncogenes, which tip cells into a frenzy of cell division, -tumor suppressor genes, when damaged, fail to stop cells from dividing. tumor suppressor genes are, in a sense, the opposite of oncogenes. oncogenes kind of work like -an accelerator in a car. they drive the cell's growth, and the tumor suppressor genes are the brakes. and in many cases, the brakes are simply gone from the cell. -we now realize that virtually all human cancer cells have both defects-- stuck accelerator pedals, hyperactive oncogenes, and defective tumor suppressor genes, defective brake linings, -and together, those 2 defects conspire to make the full panoply of abnormal behaviors that we associate with malignant cells. in the span of a few years, -as the true complexity of the cancer cell became clear, any hope that targeted therapies would win a quick victory over the disease was dispelled. the cancer genome is exceedingly complex. -each cancer type contains anywhere from 50 to 100 recurrent amplifications and deletions. so while the progress over the past 20 years has been impressive, it's also clear -that we are dealing with the tip of the iceberg. the discovery of cancer's complexity during the century's first decade seemed to push cures even further away. drug developers -could now see the genetic landscape of cancer more clearly, but the picture was one of intimidating chaos. however, there were still a few cancers that seemed to be caused by just 1 or 2 mutated genes. it was on these -that drug makers began to focus most intently. in 2003, scientists working for the swiss giant novartis believed they had found a likely target, a rare oncogene called alk. -japanese researchers had shown that a mutation in the alk gene seemed to be the cause of a type of lung cancer that affects around 40,000 people a year worldwide. though the market would be relatively small, -novartis decided to pursue a drug targeted against this mutation. their scientists began by manipulating various compounds to try to block the effects of the gene. -after 7 years of trial and error, they believed they had one that might work. do you see? yeah, it really looks like we have room here, right, to put something that could fill the pocket better. -the drug, called idk, works by filling a pocket in a protein inside the cancer cell, blocking a stream of growth signals produced by the mutated gene. -it's like jamming a lock with a broken key. it's a beautiful compound. it's actually beautiful when you see it fit into the pocket. it's really designed to do what it's doing, the job it's doing. -man: everybody thinks their baby is beautiful. the medicinal chemists have a very tough challenge. not only do they have to find a molecule that fits that pocket perfectly, they also have to simultaneously -be making sure that the changes they make in the molecule don't cause it to bind to something else and cause toxicity. and so the best analogy i can think of -is it's like a rubik's cube. you can solve one side of the rubik's cube, and it's all blue and it fits into the enzyme perfectly, but you've messed up all kinds of other things, and maybe it binds to something else that causes toxicity. -chemists need to be eternal optimists 'cause 99.9% of what you do fails, and after years of work of hundreds of scientists, it all came down to one powder right here in the vial. so i take 4 of these every day, -and this is what's keeping me alive, literally. in 2013, dr. juanmanuel gomez, himself a physician, became one of the first patients ever to take idk. woman: juanmanuel g. -oh, they are calling for me. hi. this way? yeah. we're gonna take a left. -gomez had been told that his prognosis was dire. his lung cancer was inoperable, and chemotherapy was no longer an option. with nothing else to try, his doctors urged him to join an early trial -of the idk drug. your shoes and step right up on the scale. all right. it was very clear to me if i didn't do anything different, -i-i was not going to be here. i mean, and i was dying. i was. i mean, i-i-i-i knew. i-i-i-i could feel it. -the drug had an immediate impact. within weeks, dr. gomez's tumors began to shrink, and he was able to resume a normal life. the advent of these targeted therapies -really has been miraculous for some of our patients. can you unbutton that top button for me? the disease melts away. something that chemotherapy could really never do. couple deep breaths. -when i'm saying amazing response, i'm talking about these images full of cancer with blotches pretty much throughout the lungs, and these patients would be treated with this drug, and all these patches would now just disappear. -even more, i think, stunning, for us as oncologists is that patients would feel better very, very quickly. well, your labs look perfect today, so that's great. and your scans look great, too. so i looked at the chest and the abdomen and the brain. -they look beautiful. no, i think you're doing great, side effects-wise. but even with drugs like idk that show early promise in clinical trials, there is a problem-- -most soon stop working. the reason why comes down to a concept familiar from infectious diseases-- resistance. even if a drug can shut down the one key mutation in a cancer cell, -the cell often mutates again and is no longer vulnerable to the effects of the drug. cancer cells are constantly mutating. in fact, the cancer itself is evolving inside your body over time -so that the genetic diversity of cancer at week zero is not the same as the genetic diversity of cancer, you know, 5 years or 10 years from now. it transforms the idea of treatment -from a static idea to a dynamic idea. scientists had long understood that cancer was not the same disease in everyone, but with the realization of cancer's mutability, they now feared it might not be the same disease in anyone. -what we know today is that each cancer is a moving target, and very few drugs, even when they're having fantastic clinical results, end up curing people, because the cancer becomes resistant to the drugs -that we're using in almost every case. as a doctor himself, juanmanuel gomez was aware of the possibility that his cancer would become resistant to idk. it is a gamble. -i mean, they don't know. you know, they probably have seen some results in some animal models, and they know the drug works. is that going to necessarily translate -into a human being? no one knows. in fact, just 6 1/2 months after enrolling in the clinical trial, gomez's cancer did become resistant to the drug, -and he was forced to try another experimental therapy. that therapy also stopped working, and dr. gomez passed away in october 2014. gomez's experience on the idk trial -was not exceptional. when all the results were tabulated, the drug had extended the lives of all 160 patients by an average of just 7 months. the successes of the first decade of target therapy -were so enormous that when the second decade started rolling around, all of a sudden, we felt disappointed because rather than having gleevec, we were getting incremental advances. -in the last decade, an average of only 4 new targeted therapies have been approved for use in patients each year, most of which have extended patients' lives by just a few months. -9 of 10 new experimental compounds fail. this incremental progress has come at a high price. billions of dollars in research and development. to recoup these costs, pharmaceutical companies have priced their successful cancer drugs -at unprecedented levels. the reality is for the overwhelming majority of patients and oncologists, this is one of the biggest problems in cancer care. -if you look at the prices of cancer drugs before the year 2000, the average price was about maybe $5,000, $10,000 a year. and then, in the year 2012, 12 of the 13 drugs that were fda-approved -came at the price of $100,000 or more. at the charleston area medical center in west virginia, staff oncologist dr. suzanne cole sees the impact -of the high cost of cancer care every day. hello. how are you today? i'm doing great. i didn't know you was-- -yes. i'm having a baby. well, congratulations. it's not going to be too long from now. some of our patients who are, -you know, middle-class americans working normal jobs with awesome insurance, sometimes that insurance doesn't, you know, cover everything that's necessary, and there are significant medical bills -month to month to month to month. all right. so what i'm going to do is give you a standing order for labs. and i just want you to keep this in your purse. -and if you're on a medication that you need to stay alive and your co-pay on that medication is $700 a month, you know, like, that's rent, that's a car payment, that's--you know, -that's a crazy amount of money to be forking over every month just to have access to the thing that's going to keep you alive. miss carrington, this is jennifer bass. hi there. nice to meet you. -hi, jennifer. nice meeting you. she is our financial navigator, and she helps people in your situation get back on track with their insurance -so that they can get their cancer treatment. at the charleston hospital, a full-time employee helps patients who have no ability to pay their medical bills. -appreciate it. yes, ma'am. i'm going to give you all of this you fill out once you start getting bills. don't pay any of them. -ok? ha ha ha. i can't. don't pay any of them. i'm not working now. -this is this year's patients. this is what i have worked with this year on some form of financial assistance. it is... completely full. -we have ostomy supplies up here. i have mastectomy bras and mastectomy prostheses up here. this is a blood thinner. there's a wig under my desk. -ha ha. i stick things everywhere. wigs. whatever it is, i will take it. getting cancer is one of the worst economic things -that can happen to you in the united states. it causes the accumulation of enormous amounts of debt, fundamentally shifts the finances of families, and what's very challenging for a lot of patients -is that it can often be a disease that ends your life. and so, sort of the resources you've accumulated that you hoped to pass on to your heirs or your surviving spouse or someone else -end up being consumed in the treatment of a condition that, in some cases, is incurable. the impact of the high cost of drugs is most acute in the united states, -where drug companies set their prices. in countries where the government negotiates those prices, fewer patients choose to forego their medications rather than pay for them. in the developing world, -new cancer drugs are often not even available because their cost is so high. this is a moral issue. it's a 10% to 15% lower 5-year survival in cancer -in people who are uninsured and in people who are poor and in people who are black. people should not die because they're poor. people should not die because they're uninsured. -the solution to the problem of cost, many believe, lies in understanding even more about the mechanisms of cancer so that so much money is not wasted -in pursuing flawed drugs. this whole system's extremely inefficient. we are not choosing the targets appropriately or wisely, and therefore, all of these medicines are failing. so what we really need to do -is to perform more efficient research, and, really, it means to perform more efficient basic research. and that's what's going to drive down the price of cancer drugs. and yet, funding for the most promising basic research has not been so tight -since the national cancer act was passed in 1971. as the director of the national institutes of health, i live with the reality that we're not limited by ideas, we're limited by resources, -and we're not going as fast as we could. we are now about 25% below where we were 10 years ago in terms of resources to do this work. we've got to figure out how to turn that around. -this is gonna be 511.53. until better and cheaper therapies are discovered, many patients and their families are forced to make a difficult calculation. what am i willing to pay for how many months of life? -you know, how do i think of that? what equation governs, you know, 3 months of life for x thousand dollars? maybe it allows somebody to see a grandson's birthday party -or--or go to a wedding. those are great moments of life. so maybe that's enough, you know. i think it's not enough for most people, and especially given the amount of effort -that we've put into this--this problem. treatment at most cancer hospitals around the country remains much as it has been for the last 20 years. everybody is so excited about all of these new targeted therapies, -but when it comes down to it, the vast majority of most of the cancers that we take care of, they are still primarily treated with chemotherapy. there are cancer surgeons, -there are radiation oncologists, but the backbone of what we do is we give chemotherapy. chemotherapy has gotten better over the years. by using these drugs in combination and tailoring them more effectively to each patient, -doctors have made inroads against many cancers. of all patients who will be diagnosed this year, some 2/3 will survive over 5 years, and of those, many will go on to live normal lifespans. -there are a lot of tumors that we take care of that are cured-- early stage breast cancer, early stage colon cancers, early stage prostate cancer. many of those patients will live the whole rest of their lives -and never have any problems ever again. hey. how's it going? dr. cole sees up to 25 patients a day. -many will be able to live with their cancers for years or see them disappear entirely. ⶠda da da ⶠit's 8.2. yeah, i know. -it's like the best it's been. have relapsed or been diagnosed with metastatic disease. are you better than yesterday? oh, gosh, yes. and for them, she must offer a very different kind of care. -i know, i know going into this that the vast majority of my patients who come to me with stage-4 disease are going to die. and there's nothing that i can do about that end fact -because it's the nature of the disease that they have in the times that we live with the tools that we have. any weird headaches, blurry vision? it's very hard to talk about death to somebody who's in relatively good health, -you know, somebody's who's just been diagnosed with a cancer. they may not even feel it inside of them. and you have swollen lymph nodes all along that area, and there's one that's kind of higher up that i'm worried about. but if they're in a situation where it could happen, -they need to know that that's a possibility. and i just believe in that core principle so deeply that it really guides me in how i talk to every single one of my patients. tell me what you know about your lung cancer. -i have just really known for 3 days that i have cancer. ok. i was just diagnosed. so--so what was wrong... -i remember as a resident rounding with lots of fantastic physicians who would walk into a room with a patient. they would say, "everything is fine. "you know, you're getting better. -you'll be getting out of the hospital soon." and then we walk into the hall, we walk a few steps away from the door, and, you know, very casually, "oh, you know, that guy's not long for the world." -and why should we, as physicians, have all of this information about the patient? it's the patient's information. are you interested in knowing numbers about your prognosis? are you interested in that kind of thing, -or are you too overwhelmed with all of it to-- yes, i'm the type of person that likes to know as much information as possible. when we're dealing with a stage-4 lung cancer, we know that it is not a curable situation. -it is treatable, and we can do things to intervene and help you live as long as possible, but because this cancer has spread through the body, it's much more likely that this cancer is going to be the thing that takes your life -rather than something else. wow, you gave a deeper explanation than i had heard earlier today, so... it's really incredibly hard to sit down with another human being -and look them in the eye and say, "i'm sorry, but there's nothing more that medical science can do to make you live longer or better." i wish that we had some magic medication that would make this all disappear. -all of the treatments are to give you as much time as possible. smith: most cancer is very predictable. once it comes back, unless it's a curable disease, of which there's a-- there are a number, -it's going to be the end of that person, and there are certain tasks that the person should do before they die. and that's just being, you know, as straight about it-- which i appreciate. -so that you-you have a good sense of what you're really dealing with, and you can make the best choices in the context of your life, knowing that we might be on limited time. -well, this just really sucks. it does. and i'm sorry. yeah, me too. smith: if you're hearing about that 4 weeks before you die, -you're probably not going to have a chance to go to i.a. and make up with your brother out there. you may not have a chance to talk to your priest or rabbi at a time when you're really well. and all of that can be helped -by just being more honest with people during the course of their illness. i just had been focusing on-- all the data suggests that directly addressing symptoms, relieving their pain, keeping them more functional -allows them to live a longer period of time, as well as a better period of time. i've been trying to do what i want to do-- you know, live life to its fullest and to enjoy it. well, it has a different look on it -for the next couple years, i think. yes. dr. cole's approach is relatively new. for decades, so-called palliative care -was almost taboo in oncology. the focus of cancer treatment was on eradicating tumors at all costs. doctors did little to alleviate the pain or address the psychological needs -of dying patients. to many doctors, the word "palliative care" was a word that they were allergic to, because it meant that telling the patient, or perhaps telling themselves more than anything else, -that this was defeat. obsessed with cure, this voice of palliative care, restoring patient autonomy, restoring patient dignity, -it was pushed away into the background. the movement toward palliative care began in the 1960s in london, where a british nun named cicely saunders set up a clinic to care for patients -at the end of their lives. we certainly owe a lot to cicely saunders. she showed that one could make the life of people who are dying much more comfortable with adequate pain medication and with adequate emotional support. -and she began to talk across the country to nurses, oncology centers, and had a real impact on palliative care beginning in this country. today, palliative care -is part of the medical training and everyday work of more and more oncologists and oncology nurses in the united states. do you feel like, at this point, after everything that you've gone through in the last couple months -and we were to have to really think about chemotherapy, you'd be wanting to do that again, or you're not sure? i'd probably really wanting to. you'd be willing to try it? yeah. -ok. some people, they need to do everything that they can do that is possible to be done to stay on this earth. they can still say, "i love this life. -i love being alive. i love being here, and i will do anything to stay." for some patients, it is a war. their experience of it is a war, and to say that it isn't is to deny them their reality. -it is a war for them. and yet, for other patients, they don't want to fight, but it's not the language of defeat. it is the language of negotiation. it is the language of what to do next -given the circumstances. so, you've been in the hospital for a couple of days, and, you know, one thing that i just wanted to make sure was that you were understanding what was going on with-with your cancer. -we've done some chemo, and it seems like it's not really helping us slow down the cancer, and so we're going to have to make a choice about whether you want to try to do more treatment -or whether we should stop. he wants to do whatever you think is best, right? 'cause you trust her 100% with everything. and... we don't know, so we'll leave it in your hands. -ok. right now, your body is in a situation where we've got to get you better before we could even think about doing more treatment. you know? -but it's not a bad choice to...to sometimes say no to the chemotherapy and take what time that you have left and enjoy it and not be sick and coming back and forth. -i see the time coming. the life you've given me already is better... will you rinse this? thanks. -i just really want what is best for you. i want you to feel well for as long as possible. you know, i want you to be free of pain, and i don't want you to struggle at all. we're going to just focus on trying to help you get stronger -so that you can get out of the hospital. ok? and once you're home, we can talk about, you know, whether it makes sense to do any more treatment or not. right. -and if we decide not to do it, then, um, i'm going to have hospice come and be with you. ok? ok. you're doing good. -you're hanging in there. cole, voice-over: i don't know if everybody has the same opinion of what is a good death. all right, sweetie, i'll check on you tomorrow. -but i think that it might be better for someone to maybe be in a place that they're comfortable, surrounded by people that they love. if you decide to pull back from treatment and go on hospice, -then you have some say about how you die and where you die and who is with you. as oncologists, we may not be curing everybody, but we are... put your arm up there. -we are helping people in a very important way. all right, you good right now? yeah. healing is not always eternal life. you know, healing is sometimes -helping people have a good death. there's some kind of healing in that, too. there's an often-noted paradox that we must now honestly confront. namely, despite the extraordinary progress -we've made in understanding the underlying defects in cancer cells, has to be acknowledged that we have not succeeded in controlling cancer as a human disease to the extent that i believe is possible. -now, i know other... as the first decade of the 2000s passed without the expected revolution in targeted therapy, some prominent voices in the cancer community began to call for a shift in priorities from the costly hunt for new drugs -to cancer prevention. if you don't get cancer, you're not going to die from it. and that's a simple truth that we sometimes overlook because it's intellectually -not very stimulating and exciting. persuading somebody to quit smoking is ultimately a behavioral, a psychological exercise. has nothing to do with molecules and genes and cells. and so people like me are essentially uninterested in it -in spite of the fact that stopping people smoking will have vastly more effect on cancer mortality than anything i could hope to do in my own lifetime. prevention-- blocking the factors that cause the disease in the first place-- -had long been the forgotten front in the war on cancer. but as prevention advocates began to gain a stronger voice, they could point to some important successes, none more so than the campaign to stop smoking. cigarette smoking contributes substantially to mortality -from certain specific diseases and to the overall death rate. the anti-smoking campaign began in 1964 when the surgeon general definitively linked smoking and lung cancer. -at first, the finding had little effect. the rate of smoking increased in 1964, 1965, 1966, and 1967. tell me, sir. it's been 4 years -since the surgeon general's report came out about smoking and cancer, and you're still smoking. why? because this is a long-standing habit of mine. regardless of what these doctors say, -a lot of people will not pay much attention. there's other things more dangerous than smoking. it would take a much more imaginative strategy to finally begin to curb america's addiction to cigarettes. the idea was the brainchild -of a 26-year-old patent attorney named john banzhaf. it involved turning cigarette companies' reliance on television advertising against them. male announcer: marlboro, the cigarette with better makin's, -brings you pro football. it was thanksgiving day. i'm sitting there with my father. we were watching all of the football games, and just over and over and over again -you see cigarette commercial, cigarette commercial, cigarette comm-- now, i'd seen hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands growing up, but just something clicked. male announcer: -there's always time for a marlboro. something occurred to me, something i had learned in law school which is called the fairness doctrine, which said that if you present one side -of a quote controversial issue of public importance, you must make reasonable time available for the other side. and it occurred to me-- could that possibly apply to cigarette commercials? -banzhaf wrote a letter to the federal communications commission demanding that the television networks air anti-smoking messages alongside cigarette advertisements. -to his surprise, the fcc agreed. so the american cancer society produces a set of striking anti-tobacco ads in the late 1960s, early 1970s. it's all yours. -your total consumption of cigarettes so far, george. half a million. and although they're often shown by networks late at night, they begin to have an impact on rates of smoking. -there were people coming up to me and saying, "i quit smoking. my father quit smoking." and then suddenly, their ads become a liability. the more they advertised, the more people stopped smoking. -they had to get off the air. in january 1971, the last smoking ad appeared on american television. anti-smoking advocates would eventually persuade all 50 states -to regulate cigarettes more heavily and sue tobacco companies for the healthcare costs of smoking. paid a quarter of a trillion dollars. we killed off joe camel. -we got rid of cigarette billboards. we're the model. we're the example. we did it, and we did it against these tremendous odds. from its height in the late 1960s, -cigarette smoking has declined by nearly half. as a result, lung cancer has also begun to trend downward. almost nothing has saved as many lives, reduced as much suffering as our recognition of the fact -that smoking causes cancer. another preventable epidemic now threatens to spread the disease. though no one is certain of the mechanism, obesity clearly conveys a higher risk of colon, -breast and kidney cancers among others. it's predicted that as smoking rates continue to slowly decline and as obesity rates continue to explode that before the end of this decade -that obesity will pass tobacco use as the leading preventable cause of cancer. anti-smoking campaigns have been around for a while and have been very successful, but we still have not turned around the obesity epidemic, -which, at some point we're going to have to face square on and fix. after smoking and obesity, however, the known preventable causes of cancer have been much harder to find. radiation, sunlight, asbestos, -a few viruses all have been proven to trigger the genetic mutations that give rise to cancer. still, it is estimated that some 40% of cancer cases have no known cause at all. -the work on what causes cancer is the most difficult form of cancer research at the moment. we don't know the cause of most of the major killers. we really don't know what causes breast cancer, -pancreas cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer. we don't know what causes them the way we know that if you stop smoking cigarettes, you can reduce your risk of lung cancer. -many of the mutations that cause cancer are probably the result of accidental copying errors among billions of cells that divide every day. but for decades, scientists have searched for hidden triggers in the environment -that might explain those cancers that yet have no explanation. man: we live in an increasingly carcinogenic environment. this could be causing many cancer deaths. scientists have been testing nearly every substance known to man to track down carcinogens. -with so much mystery still surrounding the disease, a series of unproven theories about what causes cancer have been paraded through the media, everything from sugar to plastics, high-tension power lines to cell phones. -but proving a causal link between any agent and cancer is difficult, and this fact has greatly increased anxiety and fear. groopman: cancer is frightening, -bewildering, frustrating. many people are just endlessly trawling over trying to figure out, what did i do? where did i go? should i have taken that vacation? -was i near a nuclear reactor? you know, did i drink some water? did i not eat organic foods? and you're saying, "look at all these scientists "who claim to know so much, -"and they can't explain to me "why me, i, this individual developed lymphoma or leukemia or breast cancer." unable to identify the causes of many cancers in the laboratory, -a branch of science called epidemiology has approached the problem from the other end-- by studying the incidence of cancer in contained populations and working backwards toward a common cause. it is very much like -circumstantial evidence in a court case. an epidemiologist, much like a lawyer, is trying to figure out, often based on retrospective data, on reconstruction, what the true set of events might have been -that--that caused cancer. one of the first epidemiologists was an italian physician, bernardino ramazzini, who, in 1700, associated many diseases with occupations. -goldsmiths developed mercury poisoning. coal miners suffered lung disease. ramazzini's observation that childless nuns had higher rates of breast cancer laid the groundwork -for understanding the role of hormones in the disease. in the 18th century, doctors noticed that habitual users of snuff had higher-than-normal rates of nasal cancer. in the 1950s, -a concentration of rare lung cancers in shipbuilders would lead researchers to asbestos. but more often, epidemiologists have struggled to understand the behavior of cancer. -why do some cancers appear more often in some countries than in others, even among people who recently moved there? why do cancers sometimes seem to act like infectious diseases, breaking out in small populations -called clusters? cancer clusters have been particularly controversial. famous examples like those at toms river, new jersey, woburn, massachusetts, and along love canal in upstate new york -have frustrated investigators and led some to doubt that they were anything more than a statistical mirage. cancer clusters are extremely difficult because the numbers are very small. -you often go to investigate the cluster some years after it's happened, now it's gone. circumstances may have changed. the point source of whatever it was, if there was something, may have disappeared. -so it's an incredibly-- to do the detective work here is really extremely difficult. ozonoff: nobody knows how many clusters there are and how many of them are really related to some common cause. -our tools just aren't powerful enough, aren't good enough. it's sort of like going into a gigantic, dark warehouse full of dangerous objects with this tiny little miner's lamp on your head -and going in and looking around and say, "gee, i don't see anything," right? and then going out again. but even as new chemicals that cause cancer have been difficult to find, -an old suspect has re-emerged-- viruses. for a number of cancers, some very common ones, like liver cancer and cervical cancer, viruses are front and center -and the major causes of those cancers. happily we have developed vaccines that can prevent infections in some of those agents, and that has reduced the incidence of cancer dramatically. tonight, we have some news we do not get to report often enough -in the battle against cancer. the first large-scale test of a vaccine for cervical cancer found the drug 100% effective in blocking the virus that causes the disease. -a vaccine approved by the fda in 2006, active against the human papillomavirus, the leading cause of cervical cancer, promises to all but eradicate the disease if children can be inoculated -before they become sexually active. when i was a resident, if you had an abnormal pap smear, you had a total hysterectomy 'cause we didn't know what else to do. you lost your fertility. -and then we figured out that it was caused by a virus, and now we have a vaccine. so my daughter's been vaccinated. now, that's amazing. that's pretty amazing. -we essentially can wipe out cancer of the cervix by the hpv vaccine. the science of cancer prevention is still young and dependent on imperfect knowledge of what causes cancer. -but even if it succeeded only in curtailing smoking, obesity, and the known cancer-causing viruses, it would have a profound impact on mortality. it has been estimated that today, if society were to implement -what's known about prevention, then cancer deaths could be reduced by 50%, and that's without any new research or any new discoveries. it's just implementing what is already well known. here's my cherry-flavored nulightly. -looking forward to drinking this in the next several hours... even when cancers can't be prevented, they can still be stopped if they are detected early enough. bottoms up, so to speak. -heh. in march 2000, 2 years after her husband's death from colon cancer, tv anchor katie couric began a well-publicized crusade -to increase the number of people getting routine colonoscopies, which can detect the disease in its earliest stages. so far, i'm looking pretty clean. so far, you're very clean. people don't wake up one day -and all of a sudden have a cancer. you have this giant window of opportunity, 20 or 30 years, to catch a cancer before the final stages, which only occurs in the last few years of this long lifetime of the cancer. -and they can almost always be cured by surgery alone if they're caught early. ok, katie, that's it. that wasn't bad at all. no. -in the last decade, partially as a result of couric's efforts, colon cancer screening is up sharply, and mortality from the disease is down nearly 10%. man: the full examination requires 3 views. -the craniocaudad view, the mediolateral view, and axillary view. in the 1950s, a doctor at the md anderson cancer center in houston, invented a method of taking detailed images -of the inside of the breast. man: the head is turned to the contralateral side. the tube is then swung into place. the mammogram was hailed as a major breakthrough -in the fight against breast cancer. man: this is the finished product. note the second carcinoma within this breast not appreciating clinically. over the years, -with the help of an activist breast-cancer community, the test became part of millions of women's annual check-up. every woman in america over 35 should know this word-- "mammography." it's a fast and simple procedure -that can detect breast cancer early while it's highly curable. we have pushed for mammography screening for once a year for a lifetime. early detection saves lives. whole organizations -were built around that concept. the breast-cancer industry was built around that concept. but like so many cancer therapies or prevention methods, -the mammogram has turned out to be too blunt an instrument for the complexity of cancer. a bevy of recent studies have shown that while annual mammograms result in a clear reduction in mortality -for women over the age of 50, the benefit to younger women is negligible. in these earlier years, the test is too imprecise to distinguish a real cancer from a harmless growth. meanwhile, false-positive diagnoses -have led thousands of women to undergo painful, expensive, and disfiguring treatments like mastectomy. in breast cancer, we're so afraid of missing that one patient in a thousand -that will die of the disease, we end up treating all thousand. so that triggers enormous amount of procedures, treatments, interventions that is difficult to stop. -it's ethically difficult to stop and economically is difficult to stop because the incentives are to sustain it. men have not been spared the collateral damage caused by an imprecise method of early detection. -like the mammogram, the test for prostate cancer, the prostate specific antigen or psa, is often misinterpreted, leading to high rates of false positives and unnecessary surgeries. -the difficulty that's faced by the patient is saying, "is my early abnormality harmless? or is it going to be harmful? will i regret not proceeding?" and that's a very difficult choice, -because the consequences of being wrong can be devastating. there we go. right there. what we're all looking for -is can we find markers that say, "yes, there's some abnormality, "but the likelihood of this developing into a frank cancer is extremely low." these markers, -or clues to the presence of cancer, might come in the form of mutations that turn up in routine genetic screenings. it's our hope, maybe our dream, that one day, -when people go to their yearly office visit and deposit samples of blood and urine, et cetera, these specimens will be tested for mutations. they will be alerted to the presence of... of a cancer -which they wouldn't yet know about 'cause it hasn't caused symptoms, and they can then be handled through surgery, and the cancers are gone. -that's the hope. c-c-c-t-c-t-c-a... already, there are a few tests that can detect genetic mutations that will likely give rise to cancer before a single cancer cell has even appeared in the body. -the first grew out of the work of a young biologist named mary-claire king, who, in the mid-1970s, began investigating why there were some families in which breast cancer was much more prevalent -than in others. i said, "this is a common illness. "how much breast cancer would we expect to see "clustering in families just by chance "because it's common? -"and then, how much more or less than that do we actually see?" king discovered that in some families, the rate of breast cancer was so high, it could not be by chance. -she hypothesized that these families must carry a genetic mutation that they pass down from one generation to the next. to prove that there was a gene, and then to find it, -king was going to have to work closely with affected families. i needed families who would be part of this, who would be patient and who would be willing to have me come back to them and talk to them over and over -and take blood samples and ask to collect the tumor samples when they had surgeries and would listen to my hypotheses and talk to me forever. -there was one man she knew who could help her find such families. dr. bernard fisher was, by that time, in the midst of his groundbreaking study on the effectiveness of the radical mastectomy. -if anyone could introduce king to families with inherited breast cancer, it was he. meeting bernie fisher changed my life. he knew from his practice that these families show up from time to time, -and he knew that when he was working with a family that had had historically in generations 4 or 5, 6 cancers, he was sure that in the next generation, it would show up again. so when i asked him if he would help me identify families, -he said, "of course." on this pedigree or family tree, circles represent women, squares represent men, and filled symbols represent cancer. -working in this way, family by family, king was able to identify the section of dna along chromosome 17, where the mutated gene was found. the gene was called brca. -women who carry the brca mutation, which can be detected by a simple blood test, know they have up to a 70% chance of contracting breast cancer and a 30% chance of developing ovarian cancer. -with this forewarning, they can take preventative measures. they can watch themselves more closely or choose to have their breasts removed before cancer ever appears. -by knowing much more about how cancer develops, doctors may be able to assess the risks for each person long before he or she contracts the disease and develop strategies to prevent it or detect it early. -i think the time will come where your own individual risks are going to be better predicted by using your family history, by using your own sort of environmental exposures -and your lifestyle, and by using your dna. so here's not looking at a cancer genome here. looking at your constitutional genome and saying, "ok, for you, "your risks of this disease are higher than the average, -for that disease are lower." clearly, if we're talking prevention in a way that's going to work, it can't be one size fits all. it's got to be focused on that individual. the combination of prevention, early detection, -and some new targeted therapies have made a significant difference in the fight against cancer. in the united states, cancer mortality has been slowly declining, -down 20% over the last 2 decades. and there is optimism that this trend will accelerate. one major reason is that researchers have begun to discern patterns within the complexity of the cancer cell -that once had seemed so daunting. the first step was understanding that not all the mutations in cancer cells are equally significant. most mutations in a cancer cell -are random, unimportant mutations. there's a limited number of those changes that really confer the properties on the cancer. what we have right now is a sifting process to find, by comparing many different cancers, -which ones are the recurrent targets that really matter and give the cancer its properties. those mutations that are significant, it turns out, often play a key role in many different cancers. in fact, breast cancer and leukemia, -which look completely different under the microscope, may actually share some altered genetic components. so therefore, the world of cancer, having been diversified, now begins to find these-- and i can only describe them as sort of genetic wormholes-- -you know, from one cancer to another. these fresh insights have rejuvenated the field of targeted therapy. if the many mutations in a cancer cell can be narrowed down to just a few, -blocking their effects might be possible with a technique already used, in a much less precise way, in chemotherapy-- combinations of drugs. the key is to hit a cancer -with multiple drugs simultaneously. when a cancer mutates, it gains some new properties, but very often, it gains new vulnerability as well. it gains a power, and it gains an achilles heel. so what's exciting right now is that cataloging, -for every mutation, the achilles heels it creates. if mutation here, vulnerability there. attack there. -might mutate, but you've also got over here to hit. you're laying out essentially a way to deploy your armies, knowing that cancer's going to try to escape down this path, and you've got something waiting for it. -not only have cancer researchers narrowed down the number of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that actually cause cancers, they've also discovered that none of these genes operates in isolation. -instead, they work as part of groups called pathways to accomplish specific tasks. there are only about 200 genes which are responsible for the vast majority of cancers. then these 200 genes -funnel down into only about 12 pathways. if you can figure out a way to target these pathways, you will have a therapy that's useful for many different kinds of cancers. -you can think of a pathway like a circuit or bucket brigade. if you disrupt the bucket brigade at any one number of positions, you could disrupt the entirety of the brigade. -what we're learning now is that there may be multiple different ways to activate this bucket brigade causing cancer, but it also means that there are multiple places -to intervene and disrupt it. make no mistake, this is complicated. it's least as elaborate as the most complicated electronic-circuit diagram that you have ever seen. -but getting our minds around that, even if it's somewhat imperfect, offers a lot of opportunities. with the cost of genetic sequencing plummeting, it may be only a matter of time -before doctors can map all the genes and pathways inside every patient's cancer and treat each of them with a personalized combination of drugs. where we're going is this much more individualized approach, -just like infectious diseases. if you have a very bad infection, very bad, your doctor will take a sample of the bug, grow it, and pick an antibiotic or 2 or sometimes 3, mix them together, and hopefully cure you. -and that's what we're trying to do in oncology now. no matter how powerful or precise, however, combination targeted therapy still must confront cancer's complexity and its relentless drive to adapt and survive. -to me, the best way to think about cancer is that it is literally evolution in a bottle. it's like taking the enormity of the power of 3 billion years, unimaginable timeframes, -that have created the unimaginable diversity of life. imagine capturing all of those forces within a single cell and putting that inside someone's body. -that is, to me, the metaphor of cancer. it is all of the history of life that plays out at a billion times the speed of evolution. -if cancer exploits the power of evolution to survive, perhaps only a commensurate weapon, equally adaptable and also perfected over millions of years, can overcome it. -that weapon, many scientists believe, is the human immune system. the immune system is an extraordinary set of defenses, an intricate interplay of cells and proteins. -they're circulating through our bloodstream. they have these surfaces that keep looking and saying, "is there something foreign? "is there something changed? -"is there something different? because i have to keep that out." the idea that the immune system might effectively treat cancer is not new. it was first explored by a 19th century surgeon-- -william coley. while working at memorial hospital in new york city, coley came across a strange case-- a patient whose tumor seemed to vanish of its own accord after a serious infection. -coley thought, "there's a power here. "we don't know quite how to harness it, "but i'm going to try to infect people "who may have this kind of dire, "inoperable form of cancer -and see if we can do anything about it." and that, in a messy and unscientific way, was the birth of kind of cancer immunotherapy. coley made a compound of infectious bacteria -and injected it directly into the tumors of patients, hoping to trigger a fever that would somehow overwhelm the cancer. some of his patients were cured, but no one was able to duplicate his results, -and for decades, immunotherapy remained on the fringes of cancer research, even when scientists were able to detect mysterious particles that appeared to be fighting cancer cells. -man: we noticed these peculiar little bodies with the cancer cells. we don't know just what they are, and we don't know what it means, but once the cancer cells develop these spots, they go on to disintegrate and die. -well, that's it. that's what we've been seeing. the little dots may be evidence of an immunological mechanism, or they may be something non-specific, -and we hope we can find out with further study. immunotherapy remained a backwater, but a few scientists, certain that there was something to it, kept the field alive. -one of them was steven rosenberg, who, since the 1970s, has been exploring immunotherapy treatments at the national cancer institute. a surgeon like coley, -he too had had a patient whose cancer had miraculously disappeared. all aspects of his cancer were gone. he had undergone one of the most rare events in all of medicine. -he had had a spontaneous regression of all of his metastatic cancer. rosenberg believed that the explanation had to lie in the patient's own immune system. he decided then and there -to focus his research on immune cells or lymphocytes. ok, let's talk about admissions for--for this week. the body has hundreds of billions of lymphocytes. and somewhere in the body of a cancer patient, there are lymphocytes, we hypothesized, -that could recognize what was different about the cancer. so, mark, let's hear about-- let's hear about cells. i have cermak on the nma arm of the randomized protocol-- rosenberg, voice-over: it was that hypothesis, it was that dream, -that then led us to try to identify the actual cells that were attacking the cancer and use them to actually develop a cancer treatment. rosenberg isolated various types of immune cells in his lab, -and in a series of clinical trials, injected them into patients. but progress was painfully slow. in the first 66 patients, his therapy showed no signs of working. -then, in 1984, he treated the 67th-- a navy officer named linda taylor-- with a far higher dose. 3 decades later, she is still in perfect health. aw. -i tell you, i never cry except around you. i know... rosenberg, voice-over: it was an important event in the development of cancer treatments -because it showed people that it was possible, at that point in a very tiny percentage of patients, to cause the immune system to make a cancer disappear. the hope from those early experiments -was that if you could somehow activate specific aspects of the immune system, could you now educate it to attack a cancer cell and not attack a normal cell? -rosenberg went on to discover that a specific type of immune cell called a t-cell was active against some cancers, but when greatly outnumbered was too weak to defeat them. -through dozens of experimental trials, he learned to extract these cancer-fighting t-cells from a patient's own body, grow them in the lab into a vast army billions of cells strong, -and then infuse them back into the patient's body to fight his or her cancer. so, naomi, you have 68.6 billion cells. more than what you thought. rosenberg is running several clinical trials -for melanoma patients using this approach. all right, dear. right here, little buggers. right in this area. chew, chew, chew. -every week, he sees a new group of patients, all with advanced cancers, most of whom have exhausted every other treatment. mr. rogers, i'm dr. -rosenberg. hi. delighted to meet you. good. please stay right where you are. -i'm jan. jan, delighted to meet you. tell me, when did you first notice a problem? september of 2011 when i had a mole... doug rogers is a 60-year-old retired nascar mechanic from south carolina. -he found out he had metastatic melanoma when he had a black mole on his leg checked in 2011. and then right in the concave area where the mole was, a little black crusty place came back up. -the cancer soon started taking over his body. so show me where the- where the tumor originally started. where was the original mole that you had? -right here. see the scar? i see. i surely do. yes. -ok, good. you can lie back. what we have to do to perform this treatment is we have to take off one of the tumors because we have to isolate the immune cells -that are actually attacking the cancer, and what better place to find them than within the cancer itself? and we grow them up, and then we give them back to you, and in other patients, -we've seen very remarkable disappearance of cancer. so that's what we have planned. i've gone over your x-rays. you seem to be a good patient. -now this might be a little chilly. i'm sorry about that. 2 days later, the team prepared for an operation to remove one of rogers' tumors -so they can find the t-cells that may be trying to fight it. so this operation is going to be pretty simple as far as anesthesia's concerned. got any questions for me? no, sir. -all right. where are you from? i detect a little accent. brooklyn, new york. wife: that's no accent. -that's a drawl. south carolina. wife: we've been together since i was 18. and i'm 55 now. we've traveled down a lot of roads, -so we've just got a lot left to do together, and we got to beat this. are you feeling it? bye, honey. might not remember this part. -love you. this may lengthen his life or even cure him. i can't wrap my brain around being without him. it just--i can't do it. -you know, he drives me crazy, just like any husband drives a wife crazy, but, um, i can't imagine life without him. with rogers still in the operating room, rosenberg's team delivered a sample of his tumor -to the lab. rosenberg: in the laboratory, one of our technicians is waiting to dissect the tumor into tiny fragments, put those fragments into individual culture wells -and let the lymphocytes grow out of them. over the next 4 weeks, rosenberg's team will nurture rogers' immune cells, trying to turn a few cancer-fighting t-cells into an army billions strong. -rosenberg has not been the only scientist investigating the immune system and cancer. in the early 1980s, a scientist at the university of texas, jim allison, began work in the field, -even though he was told it would stall his career. there was such skepticism about immunotherapy in general. i remember as recently as 2004 going to a meeting of cancer biologists -and feeling that i probably should wear helmet and, you know, a body guard and everything to avoid being abused fr-from having the audacity to say, "i think the immune system can take care of cancer." -allison's idea was very different from rosenberg's. instead of trying to boost the immune system, he thought the immune system might somehow be holding itself back from attacking cancer cells. -everyone was looking at ways to stimulate the immune system. no one realized that there were restraints or brakes. allison found that a certain protein -acted like a brake. so you can remove the brakes, and then the immune system goes to work. in 1996, allison developed a compound -that could free the immune system to attack cancer. it took him years to find a company that would help him produce his drug, but when yervoy finally came to market in 2011, -the whole pharmaceutical industry quickly took note. since then, several new drugs have been developed based on the same principle-- removing the constraints -that prevent the immune system from attacking cancer. cancer is a dynamic interplay between patient and tumor. and for many decades, we have concentrated all of our efforts -on the tumor part of that interplay. and now i think we recognize that there is a role to be played by focusing on the patient and how this host immune response -can be tuned to try and control the cancer. what makes these new immunotherapy drugs so exciting is that, unlike rosenberg's highly customized treatment, they can be mass-produced -and administered at any hospital. the fruits of jim allison's work moved the field of immune therapy to make it generic. and that has tremendous impact. -from a financial point of view, you don't need to individualize. you have the same vial for everyone. for reasons not wholly understood, immunotherapy has so far been most successful -in fighting a small group of cancers, mainly melanoma and kidney cancer. for most other types, the cells in the immune system still seem unable to find and fight the cancer. -but another novel approach may greatly expand immunotherapy's reach. in philadelphia, at the university of pennsylvania, dr. carl june has used genetic engineering -to give the t-cells in the immune system a kind of homing device. we know the immune system can be around as a form of surveillance and cull out the early tumors. -but in most cases, it fails, and it can't really distinguish at all between a tumor cell and normal cells. the t-cells can't see cancer cells. they are completely blind. -they will wander right by. you can actually see this under the microscope. they don't recognize the cell as being bad. so we have to redirect that t-cell. we put in a new gene into the cell, -and that new gene forces the t-cell to see the cancer cell. so it's very much taking off the blindfold and allowing the t-cell to see the cancer cell. by re-engineering t-cells this way, -june is creating a living drug attuned to each patient's cancer. he received approval to try the technique in a clinical trial of seriously ill leukemia patients. at the same time, -a 6-year-old girl named emily whitehead, who was being treated for leukemia in a nearby hospital, took a sudden turn for the worse. our doctor come in and said, "she has a full relapse. -"it's very different now, and, you know, survival is less than 30%." we found out that she does have a specific mutation, and the doctor told me not to google it, not to look up any information on it. -and so of course i did right away. and i saw that very few people with that specific mutation survive. i mean, very few. and when the possibility of a bone-marrow transplant -fell through, the whiteheads leapt at the chance to enroll their daughter in dr. june's new trial. you know, if anything was going to work, this was going to be it, -because there wasn't anything else left for her. if it didn't work, we probably only had a few weeks left with her. while emily's family waited for her immune cells to be prepared, -doug rogers returned to the nci to continue his treatment with dr. steven rosenberg. you guys want to come over and see the lab... yes. -we're looking forward to it. all right. a month after the operation in which his immune cells were extracted, they were nearly ready to be reinfused into his body. -tomorrow we're going to give you exactly one billion cells, and about 12 hours after you have those cells, they're going to be growing in you, and you're going to have 2 billion cells. -in 12 hours, my body will will double. i thought it was truly amazing. yeah, it was. i mean, it was so interesting. and then letting me look at my cells under the microscope. -it was extraordinary. there they are. it was really emotional, too. i caught myself just fighting back tears. i didn't want to embarrass myself -crying over a little thing of dougie's cells, but, i mean, it could mean everything to us. i mean, if you could have looked under the microscope, and all the melanoma dots were gone. it was replaced by healthy cells. -and then when he actually let me hold them... shaking. look, you could see them all in there, if you look carefully. see them all? -you're holding your cells in your hand that might save your life. it was extraordinary. that's a lot of cells. feel it? -ok, look this way, dougie. afraid i'm going to drop them. don't drop it. got it. i'm just excited to get them in there -and let the cells... do their thing, huh? do their work that the doctors designed them to do, hopefully. the next day, however, there is a problem with rogers' cells. -a virus has contaminated them, and they are no longer safe for infusion. something very unusual happened to your cells, and that is, in the last day, it looks like they're infected. -and so our plan is to abort the cell infusion today, of course, and prepare a new batch for you for next week. that's the bad news. the good news is that -we have things in reserve. can you grow them and prepare them in 6 days? we can. from everything i understand about what went wrong, -we should be able to get you good cells 5 or 6 days from now. ok. obviously we were disappointed, but you can't do anything about it, so you just move on. you have to dig down deep and find your strength -and just be prayerful that he'll stay healthy for the next week while they're growing. and they were such good, healthy cells, too, they said. but, i mean, so will-- these will be also because they came out of the same batch, -so they'll be fine. might even be better. emily's cells were ready. she would be the first child and only the fourth person ever to receive this treatment. -and her doctor, stephan grupp, prepared to give her the first of 3 infusions. man: ok. ok. emily whitehead--554... -this is the stuff that we're actually talking about, and each day, the volume goes up. we've only done this in a very small number of adult patients, but how actually well it will work in kids is only possible to know by actually doing it. -all right, we're going to get started here. why's there 2 of them? you're seeing 2 rachels. that's all right. ok, we're done. -that's the whole thing. mother: yay. yeah. so we finally got there. yeah. -it's a little bit less than we usually give, but this should be enough, and they're very highly potent. a week after doug rogers' original batch of t-cells was infected, he was given an infusion -drawn from a much smaller batch kept frozen in reserve. it was the first time rosenberg had ever tried this. jan, voice-over: i'd be just lying if i didn't say i'm- i'm not terrified and-- -what are y'all nervous about? i mean, sometimes we have those hard conversations now, and i do fine with it until, like, night comes, and then it's hard. rogers, voice-over: hopefully, i got a new lease on life. -my cells are saying, "let's get to work." they're rolling their sleeves up, see. got a voracious appetite, hopefully. and we envision them as pac-man, you know-- they're going to go to those melanoma cells. -you ok? mother: what's the matter? nauseous in this one. day 2--we went in and got 30% then. first day was 10%. -and we went home, she was on my back doing horsy-back rides and, uh, felt good. and then at midnight, she spiked a fever, so we drove back to the er, then things just spun out of control. -and they put her to sleep, you know, and then that was tough, you know, 'cause at that point, dr.--you know, dr. alexis said this is as serious as it can get. -and then they had a whole team-- as soon as they had her under, a whole team of doctors come in, and i suited up with them and put the mask on and everything, and then, you know, watch them cut artery lines -in both wrists and then in her thigh, and they cut an artery line in her neck, and when they were done, there was 17 i.v. pumps keeping her alive. they came to us and said -that they didn't think that she was going to make it through the night. i remember sitting by her bed watching--watching her on the ventilator, and i just kept thinking that this can't-- -this can't be the end. this isn't how it's going to end. it can't be it. grupp: she's as sick as a human being can possibly be. the icu staff are working flat-out -to try to keep her alive. we obviously think this is a toxicity of the t-cells, but we don't really know what's happening. and so now what? with emily's life slipping away, -june's team frantically ran another batch of blood tests, hoping to uncover precisely why her new immune cells had turned on her and made her so sick. the tests came back showing skyrocketing levels of an immune protein called il-6. -when those levels came back, they were literally off the charts, and so then i suggested a drug that can block il-6. that's never been given to cancer patients before, but it is an fda-approved drug -for juvenile arthritis. and it just happens that my daughter has that disease. dr. grupp said, "i'm going to tell you, we're grasping for straws, "but if we give her this arthritis drug, it could help -'cause she can't get any sicker, or she won't be with us." there is an enormous role of luck and happenstance in these kind of situations. we gave that drug, and her response was astonishing. -i mean, the icu staff that were on that night say they have never seen a patient that sick get better that quickly. emily finally woke up in the intensive care unit on her seventh birthday. -after her brush with death, the doctors still didn't know if the t-cell therapy was working. 3 weeks later, they did a bone marrow test. it came back negative. -emily's leukemia had vanished. ⶠi want to celebrate and live my life ⶠⶠsaying ay-oh ⶠⶠbaby, let's go ⶠemily's close call had threatened the clinical trial, -but in the end, dozens of other children with leukemia were treated... ⶠ'cause i told you once ⶠand the arthritis drug that saved emily's life became a standard part of the therapy. -emily was through the worst, but she was entering uncharted territory. as the first child ever to get this treatment, her medical team had no idea how long her new immune cells -would be able to keep her cancer at bay. so in our last 6 evaluable patients, there are 4 complete regressions and 2 partial regressions, so-- we're in the beginnings of a very long and hopefully exciting road -with immunological therapies. there are people who've dedicated their lives to this, and finally, we're beginning to see interesting glimmers in which the immune system can be educated -uh, to--to-- to start to see cancers and to kill those cancers. right now, immunotherapy remains something of a roulette wheel. this large one almost gone away completely, right? what is it like-- -doctors are not sure why it works in some patients and in some cancers and not in others. wow. she's having a fabulous response, is it? it looks like everything has virtually disappeared, -so we're thrilled for you. um, you know, like a little over a year ago, i thought i was going to-- i was going to die. but you've saved my life, and i just can't tell you enough that-- -to thank you just for-- just everything. in rosenberg's most recent trial of 25 melanoma patients, 18 saw their tumors shrink, and 9 were still alive after 5 years. but for the others, -there was often no further treatment he could offer. why don't you measure it, would you? looks larger. that one does look larger. it's 40 millimeters up to 48. -rosenberg, voice-over: the patient comes for this follow-up scan, and for them, this is a life-and-death visit. if the treatment has not worked, very often, there's nothing left to do -for these patients. all right, let's go see. a month after getting his cells, doug rogers is back to see if they were working. well, hello again. -so nice to see you. come over here and sit down. nice to see you again. hi. good to see you. -well, how have you been doing? i'm doing good, real good, matter of fact. tell me what you've noticed about your, uh... well, it just looks so much better, but mainly, it just feels better. -i mean, it feels pretty much like my right leg does... i've been looking at your x-rays, and the x-rays show more than half of all the cancer gone. it's at least a 55% decrease compared to the start on the x-rays, -both in the groin as well as in these tissues, so... jan: that's amazing. we're real excited about it. so you had these 2 big ones. and those 2 big lesions were these 2 -that are now way, way down. yeah. well, that's really a good sign that things are happening so quickly. it was for me, but from your standpoint, are you pleased with everything how it's gone? -you can-- you can sit up now. again, when we see this kind of regression at one month, it very often continues until everything disappears, but not always, so we're going to have to follow it carefully to be sure it doesn't start-- it doesn't start coming back, -see, so...just couldn't be more thrilled with how things are going, so... we are, too. thank you very much. sure. -ok, now wait here 'cause dr. klein-- i want dr. klein to come in and just go over you a little more carefully. ok. -so nice to see you again. we'll see you in a month. ok. i'll see you in a month. i'll be here. -absolutely. sterile needle and slide, please. we've got slides. thank you. get it straight up to the lab and i'll process it as soon as i get there. -what else should we be doing? usual supportive measures. give him ceftriaxone and two grams iv stat. and i can't be sure what it is yet, so give him a slug of vancomycin as well. let's get two grams ceftriaxone iv stat and one gram vancomycin iv, please. -what about fluids? fluids as usual. keep them coming. same with the blood products. but we will need to start inotropes if fluids don't pick things up. -let that dry. which personnel should we list for prophylactic antibiotics? sorry, i didn't catch that. who else needs prophylactic antibiotics? anyone exposed to body fluids or aerosols directly who wasn't wearing personal protection equipment. -give them ciprofloxacin, 500 milligrams. one dose. not perfect, but it helps. i've called the paramedics in. the cardiothoracic and general surgeons were both exposed to aerosols in resus. -and rebecca. i'll contact them. nerys will distribute the cipro. ok, all sounds good. let's see at the next stage. -and i'll report this to the health protection unit, ok? thank you. pulse is 120, bp 80 over 60. he's pyrexial, over 40. justin. -hi, wes. i'm glen boyle. the patient has a pelvic fracture with contained haemorrhage requiring urgent surgery and we were just about to get started. well, the coagulopathy means that any bleed could lead to exsanguination. yep. -let me see what bugs i can find, i'll get back to you, ok? ok. i appreciate it. the minute you hear anything back from him, you bring the news straight in here. sure. -he's burning up. nothing is improving it. ok, let's get the c-arm in, please. what do you think? it's the ex-fix or we lose him. -can we arc it, please? that's good. ok to rays? yep. rays. -beeping rays off. thank you. blade, please. knocking on window glen, you got a sec? -no. it's not ebola, is it? might be. might not be... well, i can fight most infections, but that... -talk to nerys about prophylactic antibiotics. now piss off, bob. and focus. the spencer wells, please. thank you. -ok, i'll need a drill with a 150 pin and a drill sleeve, please. give me a hand. just there. thank you. take a shot, please. -rays. beeping rays off. ok. thank you. drilling -let's get the t-handle, please. thank you. let's have another shot. ok. rays. -beeping rays off. good. i'm going to need another pin. ok, need you again. open, just there. -thank you. let's have another shot. rays. beeping rays off. thank you. -let's have the t-handle, please. pulse is rising. bp dropping. another shot. rays. -push the belmont, please. yep. alarm blares ok, he's crashing. is it blood loss? -yes, we're losing lots of blood fast. can you see where these crossmatch bloods have got to, please? ok, let's repeat the teg. we need to open him up. blood bank? -this is the odp in trauma theatre. come on. we need pack c, asap. alarm continues still crashing. -let's prep for a full laparotomy for ppp. come on! bp's still very low, his numbers are crap. blade. cutting. -mayo. balfour, please. thank you. morris retractors, please. suction, please. -it's no better. ok, i can see the pelvic haematoma. receptor, please. here. suction. -i'm going to need swabs, one at a time. hit me. hit me. hit me. hit me. -glove tears agh, sh...! hmm... glen, the glove is torn. it's just a nick. see to it. -gloves. ok to proceed? hit me. hit me. 5-packs in. -any improvement? no. i've given him a second dose of tranexamic acid. and he's still crashing. bleeding is continuing through the packs. -we've got an active arterial bleed in a branch of the internal iliac. it didn't show on the ct scan. it must've blown off a clot. it's a rupture. push the belmont. -i'm going to need to ligate. get some suction in here, please. new teg. should be on the system. let's see it. -that's the previous one. the new one... lahey. old, new. old, new. -he's doing really well(! ) so much more deranged. 2.0 vicryl, please. bp still falling. -we need to reverse this man's coagulopathy, otherwise he's going to bleed out very, very quickly. he needs cryo, platelets and ffp. they're in pack c. it's not here yet. where the hell is pack c? -! blood bank, please. yes, this is the odp in the trauma theatre again. we're still waiting for pack c! they're refusing to bring it. -they're waiting for advice from their line manager on whether to go near an infection area. you're joking. tell them you'll meet them at the infection barrier. tannoy: the trauma department is an infection control area. -strictly authorised personnel only. do you want me to sign for it? knobhead. suction, please, and packs. got it. -well done. hit me. i'm your orthopod consultant, joseph whitnell. substitute for the reluctant mrs osgood. we've abandoned the ex-fix at the moment. -we've got an internal iliac bleed and some other issues. i'll come through. oh, no, listen, joseph. we've got a pathogen in here and there's no point in exposing anyone else to it. we'll need to fix the fracture. -i'll take full precautions. microbiology results. come on through. what can you tell us, wes? ok, so i found the bugs. -good news, ruled out a haemorrhagic virus. it's only meningococcal sepsis. great news. but we should treat this seriously. continue ceftriaxone, two grams bd. -and make sure that someone is getting those prophylaxis sorted. once you're done, get him up to itu and i'll be there as soon as i can. ok? ok. scissors. -ligation is completed. seems as if the bleeding is under control. pulse rate 110. large swabs, please. thank you, wes. -yep. thanks for doing that. no problem. give me the robinson tube. numbers are improving slowly. -give me a spencer, please. systolic up to 100. come on. that's it, my friend. i think the coagulopathy is being corrected by the blood products. -morris out. alarm stops he's stabilising. piece of piss, this game. that's terrific news. -i'll finish the ex-fix for you. yeah, i'll just go and organise a side room in itu. thank you. listen, everyone. i think we got there. -we saved him and... ..i just wanted to say thank you. hi, it's ramakrishna in trauma theatre. can i have a side room for mike oscar, please? joseph: can i have the ct image on screen, please? -that's blood. is it yours or the patient's? is it cut? not my blood. we get a result? -yes, he's come through it. pre the diagnosis, we had to take both the general and cardiothoracic consultants temporarily off duty, down to possible exposure. they both missed their clinics. that's down to unnecessary trauma attendance. it's not ideal, is it? -no, i suppose not. but, you know, on a case-by-case basis, this is going... you've put me right in the middle of the schedule managers. but the most important thing is that the patient didn't die. and that's down to your intervention and the team's hard work. -thanks. fiona... ..glen's just a locum. he's here one day, he's gone tomorrow. you know how we do things here. -but he has a point! sorry, excuse me. it's your career. so, he's doing well. ramakrishna will take him to itu when they're done. -i'll let dr howe know. mr boyle... we re-checked the camp bastion dates. there's a three-month gap between your deployment and your arrival here. is there? -for the records, can you account for the time? i can, yes. we need to write up our notes. good. you all right? -our patient will live to testify against the people who did that to him. very all right. remember to take the... cipro. yes. thanks. -and i wanted to apologise. for what? you've been dealing with the hospital protocols. all that crap. and i don't want you to feel compromised. -i don't want it to be professionally difficult for you. but it's working. you're making the team a unit. seems so. look... maybe i've been a bit defensive. -there's... no reason why we can't talk to each other more. good. button beeps i'm actually heading back to my digs. yeah. -subtitles by red bee media itd come on! yeah! thank you. thank you. -thanks, man. you've been a wonderful crowd. uh... well, uh, we're, uh, jose and, uh, the borges! thank you. -oh, and... happy birthday, emerson. over here, pal. okay, they don't

he's so adorable. i don't know. i don't know, man. -this goes first, this goes first. i think this is a sign of things to come, and it's not looking good. yeah, dusty's pulling some yoko shit. oh, god. did that thing work? -i don't know. my neck kind of feels better, but now my fucking armpits are killing me. oh, no. ah, god, this is a disaster. what, you guys sounded great. -honey, i just sang a song about my mother leaving me with my suicidal father for two years while she banged her way through kathmandu to a bunch of four-year-olds who think it's about a tiny little sheep herder. i want to smoke.no you don't. you're doing so good. six hundred more gigs like this, i can finally get you a ring. -honey, just get me a cracker jack ring. i told you, i don't care. i do. well, you know what, maybe if you guys didn't sing the old borges stuff... no, no, no, no, no. -and you wrote some new stuff for the kids... no. no. no... it wouldn't feel like such a violation. -no. no. i just can't write songs about sissy and bamm-bamms and binkies. i just can't do it. it's fortuitous enough that my songs are about stunted adults. -excuse me, sir. what is it, little man? you're good at playing. thanks for coming to my big boy party. oh, you're very welcome and i hope you have a very good big boy year. -okay, we- jeez! are you okay? yeah. no, i'm good. -let's go. in mexico today, six severed heads were reunited with their bodies when officials discovered the heads over 30 miles from where their bodies were recovered nearly two years ago. another gruesome chapter in the seemingly infinite mexican... you know, it's not too late to change our minds. yeah, actually it is. -i bought it with coupons. coupons? mmm-hmm. it's barely mexico, it's baja. it's like we're driving to san diego. -it's gonna be fine. so steep. it's good exercise. i miss the old apartment, honey. you hated the old apartment. -is that right? yeah. okay. good for the gluts. mmm-hmm. -hey, that was really nice of kate to offer to host your party and have the band play, huh? that was really nice, yeah. they seem beat though, huh? i mean, like, more than usual. i didn't notice. -really? honey, gabe is aging in dog years. i thought he looked great. see now, how can i trust you to assess my own decay? you think everybody looks great. -i don't. yes, you do. no, i don't. honey. i'm kidding. -you're a very, very, very handsome, ugly... oh, i heard this study on npr that if you don't have kids you're gonna effectively suspend your age. beautiful and lonely, sounds great. where are my breathe right? they didn't seem stir-crazy to you? -how can you seem stir-crazy in a park? exactly. that's right, how can you seem stir-crazy at a park? and yet somehow they've managed to achieve this. i think it's sweet. -their little life with park parties and nesting at home. i don't know if that's nesting so much as it is stockholm syndrome. you know they wanted to move to tokyo, right? what? yeah, yeah, yeah. -they were gonna do that house swap thing. before the kids were born. but then they ended up with a dud uvadisc. oh. we use uvadisc. -what? japan. yeah, yeah, yeah, japan, japan. kate is an obsessive japanophile. she never talks about it 'cause it's too depressing. -i don't know, maybe we should use a cervical cap or something. yeah, if you want to use it as a butt plug. wow. it's depressing. i mean, you know, kate used to be an attorney for homeless veterans. -now she's got to represent little miniature white vegetarian rappers. just so they, you know, they can maintain their overhead and remodel that gray gardens backyard of theirs. so doing well is a curse and being broke is a curse. uh, yeah, that's right. okay. -oh, shit. you know, i still think it would be really nice to go away for your birthday. just, you know, maybe we go to santa barbara on the actual day. santa barbara on the actual day? yeah. -well, let me think about it, uh, in song. you know you're supposed to wind down before bed, not up. honey, i took like 11 ambien. i'll be dead in two minutes. santa barbara. -right, santa barbara. um... okay, santa barbara. focus. honey, i... -i just don't want to be anywhere when i turn four... you know... the thing. look, we're going to mexico, right? mmm-hmm. -that's good. we're gonna go to mexico right after the arraignment. and then... wedding. well, i know. -it's in a court so it's really more like an arraignment. you didn't want a big wedding. i'm gonna kill you! i wanted a huge wedding. i wanted a massive wedding. -great, let's do it. i want a gigantic wedding. with thousands of... with just thousands of family members. okay. -i want a huge wedding. ow! what is that? what, what, what? that burning? -honey, it's my sports rub. oh, got to warn me. assume it's always on. ugh. jesus christ. -pillows everywhere. cute. e-mail from the pta. pta? you're not... -no, god forbid. okay, okay, i was just... you're safe. because that'd be a funny way to find out, you know? no, i signed up for the friends of balboa elementary school mailing list. -honey, don't you think that's a little premature? i mean, we're not even married yet. no, but we're gonna be and i thought it'd be good to get involved in the neighborhood. i mean, that's why you moved to glendale, right, for the services? no, that was for the interminably long commute back into civilization. -oh. oh, jesus! what? this is so gross. what? -they sent me a link to a sex crimes registry app. ugh. there's an app for that? yeah, apparently. what are you doing? -no, no, no, honey, don't. you're downloading? you don't want to download that. whoa, whoa, whoa, give it. stop it. -honey... you don't 'cause then your phone gets filled with smut and then you get, uh... "ipervert would like to use your real location." "allow?" yes, allow. no, don't allow. -honey, don't allow. hey! whoa, whoa, whoa. you really don't want to allow. hey, calm down on the ambien. -you're gonna pee in the closet again. i mean, you don't... edward snowden. what? stop, will you quit it? -what... babe. i'm feeling a little, uh, woozy. um, maybe from the... go get a snack. -yeah, i... no. well, could you get me a slice of cheese? i have an idea. would you like some cheese? -no, thank you. you don't want to share some cheese with me? no. are you sure? no, but i'm thinking... -you don't want any cheese? you know, we could have like a fondue party, all '70s-style. i already brushed my teeth. going once. no, thank you. -all right. we can invite our friends over. we get weird. things could get weird. you are getting weird. -okay, i'm gonna get some cheese. okay. okay, we're the blue dot. you cool on cheese? yep. -ugh! you want some cheese? your mom's mom left your mom's dad right after she was born, right? hmm. and your grandfather refused to ever mention your grandmother's name and your mom spent her entire adult life looking for her. -is that right? mmm-hmm. that's right. mmm-hmm. and then when she found her, she learned that her biological father was actually some mariachi guy in mexico that her mom had a one night stand with and so you re-christened or de-jewished yourself -jose. that's right. mmm. gramps as it turned out wasn't gramps. it was some guy named lupe. -and that's the story, that's why you changed your name? yeah, i mean, it's a true story. it's the story of jose stern. or is it the story of joseph stern, the rapist? i swear to god... -oh, fuck. whoa. hey. honey. honey, no, no. -sweetie-kins. hey, you got to open the... come on, sweetie, i'm fucked up, man. don't call me man. i'm so hip i even call my girlfriend man. -i'm your fiancée! it's from a dave frishberg tune. i played you that record. how much ambien did you take? i took some ambien. -that's what i, you know... i was trying to tell you. this is just... this is not... maybe, not the best time for this. -yeah, well, maybe you should have thought of that when you were doing the raping. hey, i didn't do the raping. that's not how you say it. come on, man! listen, the whole jose thing, that's a real thing, man. -i needed street cred and the borges and, man... and i found out i was an eighth homey and so, you know. i'm a homey. i'm an eighth homey. okay, okay, okay. -you're mexican. unlike borges, that's actually argentinian, but whatever. it was a three-week summer fling, you know? okay, i was 18, she was 17. i mean, we were the same age basically. -you know, i mean, and let me tell you a little something, man. this girl knew her way around the, uh... i don't know, the rodeo ring, if you know what i'm talking about. ew! listen, listen, the point is... -the point is... holy shit. the door is breathing. is the door breathing on your side? no. -okay. look, sweetie, sweetie... i just wanted to get laid, that's all. i just wanted to lose my virginity. okay? -but the thing is, honey, she fell in love with me. because guys like me, they don't just go and... they can't just get laid. you know, they have to write poems and songs, so i wrote her these songs. her name was gia. -i can't do it right now. but the point is, is that she fell in love. and she tells her father, and her father freaks out because he thinks she's a virgin. which is crazy, because if you saw the build on this girl, it's just not... virginity was not an option for this girl, okay? -the dad... honey, you listening? the dad turns out to be a sheriff's deputy. okay? and now i'm in an app! -okay. fine. why didn't you tell me this sooner? i don't know. because i... -i was embarrassed, i guess. you know, i think between seeing my mommy naked like way too much as a child and my father's facts of life talk consisting of palming me with a strip of his old rubbers like he was tipping a bellhop. what? sick shit, right? -i mean, this guy didn't even give me his... i'm coming. it's the stairs. you got a house with too many stairs. i mean, seriously, honey, they weren't even reservoir tip. -i mean, they were like vintage 1950 father condoms. i didn't mean, "what? please repeat," or "what? please free associate." -i've heard these stories. okay. got... check. oh, okay. -so what? so you lied to me because your parents have sex organs and because your dad is awkward?

except for i think you're losing. that doesn't count, cause look, look at how my gauntlet is. -see? this is your stupid gauntlet! if you catch it in the gauntlet, it doesn't count. i don't care about your gauntlet. -look at this, anything you catch in the gauntlet doesn't count. that's what i thought. that's what i thought. don't use that voice. you know i don't like that voice. -fine. all right, i'll take off the gauntlet. god, i just... i am chivalrous. i am. -don't laugh at me. uzi's. none of that. i can say only half of these count. do you think girls are just better at stuff?

i don't remember. i have to get ready for work. blobbies. -i won. there may be a promotion today, if i can conquer this meeting. good news for both of us tonight. cool, i'll clean up. where is it at? -don't worry about it. just chill. you are a mountain. you are a hundred miles high. hey there. -gerald running late? yeah. i am stuck with you. how are you? fine. -what's wrong? nothing, um... i'm not moving into design, and that's okay. look, i'll talk to gerald, it's cool. well, people... -people are getting... i am sure it's not your fault. don't worry about it. you're being let go. it's... what? -look at your face. you're being let go today. you've worked here for seven years, and they like you, but they're killing off half your department, it has nothing to do with... with anything. no one else is leaving? -they want you to remove your stuff within the hour. okay. yeah. hold on. no, it's... okay. -look... cool, maybe later. you are a flash of lightning in the darkness of night. hang on. let's flip the piece of paper. -it's nice. okay, this is so silly. this is gonna help me at work to stand up for myself more, hearing your voice. okay. -okay. besides, i'm gonna be a dad, so, you know, i need to have a real job. do you have sulfuric acid? yeah, down the left aisle. what happens if you get it on your face? -it would probably burn your face off. you don't wanna have it on there. wyatt? yeah. yeah. -what's wrong with your phone? i tried calling you like 20 times. i was worried about you. sorry, i dropped my cell on the sidewalk. i think i broke it. -it smells absolutely terrible down here. how was work? fine. what are you doing? it's just some stuff from the old job. -i thought maybe i could sell it. old tools. that's great. i lost my job. you wanna grab something to eat? -there's something i wanna talk to you about. hello. it's probably just someone pushing all the buttons. does that happen a lot? what do you want to talk to me about? -it's mara. stop it. are you gonna leave her out there? yes, i'm gonna leave her out there. hey. -hi. sorry i didn't hear. did you buzz? yeah, no. sorry. -i was just in the neighborhood. hi, wyatt. hey. i found this because i forgot to throw it away. cool. -i'll need it, is what you're saying? okay, i should... i should go. i'm sorry. can you... do you want to come in for a second? -just a second. okay. okay. it's disgusting. yeah. -it's really healthy. my god. dude. what's your favorite... what? it's... -it's really lame. it's... well, i mean, hopefully if they follow the isaac asimov rules, then everything would be okay, but that, that requires that we actually program them properly. but anyway, let's stop talking about this. because i'm... -enough, enough. that's your favorite novel? that or "lord of the rings" tied. i don't know what you're talking about. why anything that isn't black tea? -okay, hold on. i know this amazing place on norman that has incredible tea. plus it comes in a fancy tin. i'll go get it, okay? it doesn't matter. -you need to go? no. cool. okay. is sandy okay? -she asked about you actually. she's different than you might think. awkward. hey, i got a phone message the other day from someone. at first i didn't know who it was. -weird. you don't know who that could be, right? i don't think it was her. this is gonna sound weird, but... do you ever hear anything that's not there? -actually, i do. i get kind of a choir. it comes and goes, just a couple times a week. it's a neurological thing. my mom had it too, except for her, it's jazz that she just couldn't switch off. -she, she thought it was, um, some annoying, angelic jazz band but i think it's just my brain playing tricks. besides, if it was angels, they'd be in tune. you have perfect pitch? maybe. sing something. -"b" flat. i just made that up. hey, has christian ever showed you the roof, or the basement? they're pretty cool. really? -yeah. you want to check them out, instead of awkwardly waiting? okay. yeah. yeah. -neato. we're safe down here. you guys could start a band down here. i've been getting the supplies, just like you said to in your messages. um, should, should we check out the roof? -no. they can't hear us down here. where are they? um... how do they infect us? -i know that you said they're vulnerable to acid. i got sulfuric. you're acting really weird. okay. just tell me, when is it gonna happen? -i'm leaving. i need help. move before i hurt you, wyatt. mara had to leave. don't worry about it. -okay. what happened? okay, let me take off my jacket. wyatt, this... okay. -okay? okay. wyatt, what happened with mara? you need to toughen up. okay. -hang on. i knew this act of yours was bullshit. the new you, you're fucking pathetic. i'm fucking pathetic? look at you. -wake up. this is real! do you have any idea what they can do to you? do you think this is easy? you fucking pussy. -come on. you're too late, soft boy. know that you cannot fight us. you can feel us already, can't you? inside your skull. -we believe you are special. we need the soft ones, and you are the softest we have found. when we pull you and your friend apart ventricle by ventricle and spread you out like a soft red tree, perhaps we will see why even when you had the chance, so many people did so little to stop us. i love you, wyatt. -so, i'm thinking about inventing this food that's literally just balls of bacon that you eat with your hands. can you just slice some cheddar? i knew i got my ax for a reason. so i would get these phone messages at night. you know, it was nightmares, i guess. -i got one last night, but i hung up. is that pancake mix, too? so, last year i tried to kill myself, and i went to talk to this guy, just one time, and i called him about you. he's awesome. he has a parrot in his office. -when do i see him? tomorrow. make sure you wear a straightjacket. sorry. that's okay. -one matching luxury axe, and vintage hatchet set. that's good. all-american. hold on a sec. yeah? -yeah. then why did you buy them? it just turned out the project i needed them for didn't happen, so. i just want to make sure that christian and mara can be okay. and i'm leaving tomorrow so... -look at me. i'm sandy i almost died. and now i got a pillow on my neck. is that supposed to be funny wyatt, or psycho wyatt? i know mara has her own thing, but she really liked your stupid buddy. -yeah, he likes her too. what was it, anyway? cia tapping your brain? you got bugs under your skin? it wasn't... it was nothing. -killing zombies? were they cloning you, wyatt? it was nothing. come on, you don't have to be a bitch, just tell me. like, what, what the fuck was that about? -i thought... i mean, just tell me. i thought people were turning evil. if you ever do anything like that to a friend of mine ever again, i'm gonna fucking kill you. -i'm gonna fucking kill you. you probably should. hi. don't be scared. touch me, and i will rip your face out of your spine. -i just wanted to say... what? sorry for taking you to a rapey basement? no, no, no. it's not what you thought. -christian's a really good guy. let me guess. you two are really super nice guys, and you're just going through some stuff right now. it's not christian's fault. i've been messing up his life, and it's not his fault. -it's his fault for having a friend like you. and tell him that it wasn't a seven, it was a three. mara, wait. god damn it. i'm sorry. -please don't die. do you need to call an ambulance? can you tell? come on. okay, come on. -it's freezing. my nose. no. so, it's like some sort of anti-zombie bunker. i get it. -really? no. pack your bags. let's get out of the city. i got a car. -we'll go up to some cabin somewhere, maybe up north by a lake. what about your appointment? i called. it's... i'm down for next week. -they just told me to avoid alcohol. what are you doing? signing up for the army. nice. yeah. -i kinda figured if anyone ever put a gun in my face, i'd probably just piss myself and start crying. i'd like to change that permanently. yeah, why don't you think about what a little? fuck you. -come on. it'll be great. be careful. you're seeing him again, aren't you? no, man. -no weapons. see? i'm not killing anyone. no worries. tell me what to do to help fight him. -i don't believe what you believe, but i know you believe it. so just be honest with me, and you have to promise me not to kill anyone, okay? don't mess with me. i'm not. there's a battle happening... -tonight. at 6:00, gives us 40 minutes. let's do this noise. grab your clothes. okay. -grab your, grab your boots. grab weapons. yeah. pack for the apocalypse, got it. we got it. -we gotta... i'm excited. where are we going? to parents' place in north carolina. it starts in the city, so we have to get out, and meet them, and we have to protect them. -they don't live down there anymore. mom's in canada. you got the keys? hey, wyatt, where'd you get this car? get back inside. -why? because it's starting early. give me your cell phone. we can be safe down here. we just have to keep our heads, and be ready for them if they find us. -i blacked out the windows. tell me what you saw. what made you sure this time? i would love to explain everything, but we don't have time. hey. -tell me. i went to go see mara for you. they got to her. she turned into an alien? mara was good, but it's like an infection that comes in through your eyes or your ears. -and then goes to your brain. it's not peoples' fault. what'd you see? what'd you see? her face started twisting, and then her smile started spreading out farther than a smile's supposed to, all the way past her ears. -and then her head split in two, and there was this thing there. you know what i thought? that we're all alone. you hurt her? i made it back and found you. -when's this thing start? six minutes. let's sing a song. christian. stop, please. -can you take off the mask? you want me to be honest? you think i'm one of them. tie me up. why would you want me... -because, yes, it's really scary to trust you right now, but that's what this is, so, trust me because i trust you. okay. christian, they take over your mind with their eyes, and maybe their voice. how much longer? -four minutes. go for it. open wide. you okay? sorry. -it's okay. please, stop. wyatt? wyatt? sulfuric acid. -trust no one. even before you were one of the blessed, you could sense them. you knew they were out there. suddenly, they were right next to you. that is not a soldier, with a gun. -that is evil. that is not your co-worker. that is a demon. that is not a human, not a neighbor, not a friend, not a lover. a brother, mother, a father, a wife. -that is a monster. that is your enemy. and that is what you must be ready to destroy. well, i didn't piss myself after all. hey, it occurred to me that we never hugged. -can we not do your office?

what do you want to talk to me about? it's mara. -stop it. are you gonna leave her out there? yes, i'm gonna leave her out there. oh. hey. -hi. sorry i didn't hear. did you buzz? oh, yeah, no. sorry. -i was just in the neighborhood. oh, hi, wyatt. hey. i found this because i forgot to throw it away. oh. -oh, cool. i'll need it, is what you're saying? okay, i should... i should go. i'm sorry. -can you... do you want to come in for a second? just a second. okay. okay. it's disgusting. -yeah. it's really healthy. oh, my god. dude. what's your favorite... what? -oh, it's... it's really lame. it's... well, i mean, hopefully if they follow the isaac asimov rules, then everything would be okay, but that, that requires that we actually program them properly. but anyway, let's stop talking about this. -because i'm... enough, enough. that's your favorite novel? that or "lord of the rings" tied. i don't know what you're talking about. -why anything that isn't black tea? okay, hold on. i know this amazing place on norman that has incredible tea. plus it comes in a fancy tin. i'll go get it, okay? -it doesn't matter. you need to go? no. cool. okay. -is sandy okay? oh, she asked about you actually. she's different than you might think. awkward. hey, i got a phone message the other day from someone. -at first i didn't know who it was. weird. you don't know who that could be, right? i don't think it was her. this is gonna sound weird, but... -do you ever hear anything that's not there? actually, i do. i get kind of a choir. it comes and goes, just a couple times a week. it's a neurological thing. -my mom had it too, except for her, it's jazz that she just couldn't switch off. she, she thought it was, um, some annoying, angelic jazz band but i think it's just my brain playing tricks. besides, if it was angels, they'd be in tune. you have perfect pitch? maybe. -sing something. ahh. "b" flat. i just made that up. hey, has christian ever showed you the roof, or the basement? -they're pretty cool. really? yeah. you want to check them out, instead of awkwardly waiting? okay. -yeah. yeah. neato. we're safe down here. you guys could start a band down here. -i've been getting the supplies, just like you said to in your messages. um, should, should we check out the roof? oh, no. they can't hear us down here. where are they? -um... how do they infect us? i know that you said they're vulnerable to acid. i got sulfuric. you're acting really weird. -uh... okay. just tell me, when is it gonna happen? i'm leaving. i need help. -move before i hurt you, wyatt. mara had to leave. don't worry about it. okay. what happened? -okay, let me take off my jacket. wyatt, this... shh. okay. okay? -okay. wyatt, what happened with mara? you need to toughen up. okay. hang on. -i knew this act of yours was bullshit. the new you, you're fucking pathetic. i'm fucking pathetic? look at you. wake up. -this is real! do you have any idea what they can do to you? do you think this is easy? you fucking pussy. come on. -you're too late, soft boy. know that you cannot fight us. you can feel us already, can't you? inside your skull. we believe you are special. -we need the soft ones, and you are the softest we have found. when we pull you and your friend apart ventricle by ventricle and spread you out like a soft red tree, perhaps we will see why even when you had the chance, so many people did so little to stop us. i love you, wyatt. so, i'm thinking about inventing this food that's literally just balls of bacon that you eat with your hands. -can you just slice some cheddar? i knew i got my ax for a reason. so i would get these phone messages at night. you know, it was nightmares, i guess. i got one last night, but i hung up. -is that pancake mix, too? so, last year i tried to kill myself, and i went to talk to this guy, just one time, and i called him about you. he's awesome. he has a parrot in his office. when do i see him? -tomorrow. make sure you wear a straightjacket. sorry. that's okay. one matching luxury axe, and vintage hatchet set. -that's good. all-american. hold on a sec. yeah? yeah. -then why did you buy them? it just turned out the project i needed them for didn't happen, so. i just want to make sure that christian and mara can be okay. and i'm leaving tomorrow so... look at me. -i'm sandy i almost died. and now i got a pillow on my neck. is that supposed to be funny wyatt, or psycho wyatt? i know mara has her own thing, but she really liked your stupid buddy. yeah, he likes her too. -what was it, anyway? cia tapping your brain? you got bugs under your skin? it wasn't... it was nothing. killing zombies? -were they cloning you, wyatt? it was nothing. come on, you don't have to be a bitch, just tell me. like, what, what the fuck was that about? i thought... -i mean, just tell me. i thought people were turning evil. if you ever do anything like that to a friend of mine ever again, i'm gonna fucking kill you. i'm gonna fucking kill you. -you probably should. hi. don't be scared. touch me, and i will rip your face out of your spine. i just wanted to say... -what? -sorry for taking you to a rapey basement? no, no, no. it's not what you thought. christian's a really good guy. let me guess. -you two are really super nice guys, and you're just going through some stuff right now. it's not christian's fault. i've been messing up his life, and it's not his fault. it's his fault for having a friend like you. -and tell him that it wasn't a seven, it was a three. mara, wait. ah! god damn it. i'm sorry. -please don't die. do you need to call an ambulance? can you tell? oh, come on. okay, come on. -it's freezing. oh, my nose. oh, no. so, it's like some sort of anti-zombie bunker. i get it. -really? no. pack your bags. let's get out of the city. whoa. -i got a car. we'll go up to some cabin somewhere, maybe up north by a lake. what about your appointment? i called. it's... -i'm down for next week. they just told me to avoid alcohol. what are you doing? signing up for the army. nice. -yeah. i kinda figured if anyone ever put a gun in my face, i'd probably just piss myself and start crying. i'd like to change that permanently. yeah, why don't you think about what a little? -fuck you. come on. it'll be great. be careful. whew! -you're seeing him again, aren't you? no, man. no weapons. see? i'm not killing anyone. -no worries. tell me what to do to help fight him. i don't believe what you believe, but i know you believe it. so just be honest with me, and you have to promise me not to kill anyone, okay? don't mess with me. -i'm not. there's a battle happening... tonight. at 6:00, gives us 40 minutes. let's do this noise. -grab your clothes. okay. grab your, grab your boots. grab weapons. yeah. -pack for the apocalypse, got it. we got it. we gotta... i'm excited. where are we going? -to parents' place in north carolina. it starts in the city, so we have to get out, and meet them, and we have to protect them. they don't live down there anymore. mom's in canada. you got the keys? -hey, wyatt, where'd you get this car? get back inside. why? because it's starting early. give me your cell phone. -we can be safe down here. we just have to keep our heads, and be ready for them if they find us. i blacked out the windows. tell me what you saw. what made you sure this time? -i would love to explain everything, but we don't have time. hey. tell me. i went to go see mara for you. they got to her. -she turned into an alien? mara was good, but it's like an infection that comes in through your eyes or your ears. and then goes to your brain. it's not peoples' fault. what'd you see? -what'd you see? her face started twisting, and then her smile started spreading out farther than a smile's supposed to, all the way past her ears. and then her head split in two, and there was this thing there. you know what i thought? that we're all alone. -you hurt her? i made it back and found you. when's this thing start? six minutes. let's sing a song. -christian. christian. stop, please. can you take off the mask? whew! -you want me to be honest? you think i'm one of them. tie me up. why would you want me... because, yes, it's really scary to trust you right now, but that's what this is, so, trust me because i trust you. -okay. christian, they take over your mind with their eyes, and maybe their voice. how much longer? four minutes. -go for it. open wide. you okay? mm. sorry. -it's okay. please, stop. wyatt? wyatt? sulfuric acid. -trust no one. even before you were one of the blessed, you could sense them. you knew they were out there. suddenly, they were right next to you. that is not a soldier, with a gun. -that is evil. that is not your co-worker. that is a demon. that is not a human, not a neighbor, not a friend, not a lover. a brother, mother, a father, a wife. -that is a monster. that is your enemy. and that is what you must be ready to destroy. well, i didn't piss myself after all. hey, it occurred to me that we never hugged. -leonard, i've been working on an opening joke for our lecture at berkeley. oh, i like to laugh. but say it anyway. okay, um... what do you say to a graduate of the uc berkeley physics department? -i'll have fries with that. because his education hasn't prepared him for a career in the sciences. you know, when they chase you out of there, you only have to run faster than sheldon. are you all set for your trip? yeah, i think so. -i just restocked the old prk. "prk"? public restroom kit. everything a boy needs for making pee pee in new and strange places. i don't see what's crazy about bringing a backpack with your own toilet paper and purell. -keep going. and rubber gloves, uh, air freshener. um, noise-cancelling headphones. oh, danger whistle. um... pepper spray. -ooh, a multi-language "occupied" sign. uh, let's see. we have seat protectors, uh, booties for my shoes, a clothespin for my nose. oh, and a mirror on a stick, so i can make sure the person in the stall next to me isn't some kind of weirdo. you still worried some berkeley girl is gonna steal him away? -yes, who do you think gave him the danger whistle? wait! == sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man would you like to play a physics car game i invented called "i can't spy"? it's all the nail-biting tension of "i spy" -but the added fun of subatomic particles and waves outside the visible spectrum. if it's half as much fun as "one times ten to the fourth bottles of beer on the wall," i'm in. i'll begin. -uh, i can't spy with my little eye something passing right through us. that soy frappuccino i had. will you please play the game? i can't spy with my little eye something passing right through us. i don't know, um... -if 65 billion solar neutrinos pass through a square centimeter every second, given the surface area of this car is about 60,000 square centimeters, that means 3.9 times ten to the 15th solar neutrinos? i don't want to play anymore. we haven't been on a road trip in a while. this is fun. we get it-- you won the game. -stop bragging. no, listen, we wrote a paper together. now we get to go to a university and talk about it? that's pretty cool. i suppose it is. -in fact, if you'd like to celebrate with a little music, i'd be okay with that. what...? this road trip just got crazy. play that funky music, white boy. -i'm surprised you know that reference. what reference? so, i put stickers on everything we're gonna sell. we just need help taking it all out to the driveway. can i be in charge of pricing? -i've been going to garage sales my whole life. can you believe i got these pantyhose for a nickel? all right, amy's in charge of pricing and being 75. hey, penny, can you give me a hand with this? sure. -aw, we had one of these growing up. i used to play all the time. oh, yeah? i love ping-pong. oh, i meant beer pong. -i had a table, too, but i didn't have any friends, so all i did was serve. you know, you can leave one side up and play against it. and if i had a friend, they might have told me that. excuse me. why is there a sticker on this? -it's my tardis from doctor who. i was planning on moving it in the house. i think you just answered your own question. come on, one day, this may double in value and be worth half what i paid for it. sweetie, we have a lot to do. -we don't need to decide this right now. well, i guess as long as you're keeping an open mind. of course. so... they're requesting that the white boy play the funky music, yes? yes. -and this music we're listening to right now is funky as well? sure. let me ask you this. do you think this song is the music the white boy ultimately plays? it could be. -so it's like the musical equivalent of russell's paradox, the question of whether the set of all sets that don't contain themselves as members contains itself? exactly. well... then i hate it. music should just be fun. making great time. -gonna be there pretty early. will our hotel room be ready? i doubt it. aren't you worried that sitting in the lobby for a long period of time might attract the attention of the hotel detective? if we do, we'll just tell him to "hit the bricks, see?" -seems a little confrontational, but all right. you know, we won't be very far from skywalker ranch. oh, that's true. it's not like we can get in there. why not? -i-i don't think george lucas put his headquarters in the middle of nowhere because he wanted people dropping in. yoda's swamp was in the middle of nowhere. tatooine was in the middle of nowhere. hoth was in the middle of nowhere. that's code, leonard. -he wants us to drop in. we do have time. i mean, we could drive by and just look at it. yes! oh... -i'm so excited. and i just can't hide it. "i'm about to lose control, and i think i like it." what are you talking about? so when do you guys think you're gonna move in? -we're still figuring how much remodeling we want to do. it's tricky finding the right balance between "tasteful modern" and "jewish mother tchotchke crapfest." have you made a decision about the tardis? i think i can sell it if we call it, "big british porta-potty." -we're not selling it-- it's mine. you can't just decide. how about i arm-wrestle you? that's not fair. it's like me challenging you to a sexy pants contest. -you could play ping-pong for it. i would do that. how is that fair? you grew up with a table. yes, but i mostly used it as a battlefield in an ongoing war between the transformers and the thundercats for control of a bra i had found in the woods. -bernadette, for every episode of doctor who leonard has made me sit through, i will play on your behalf and send that tardis back to gallifrey, where i hate that i know it belongs. yes, penny plays for me. that's not fair-- she has upper body muscles. -dude, three-time sanskriti school for well-born boys badminton champion. that's right-- okay, raj can play for me. ooh, you just chose champions. it's like we're reenacting the ancient german practice of trial by combat. -yeah, it's also like when the mountain fought the red viper in game of thrones. leonard makes you watch that, too? no, no, i like that show. it's got dragons and people doing it. so it's settled. -the fate of doctor who's tardis will be decided by a game of thrones inspired death-match on the battlefield of thundercats versus transformers. if you still have that bra, i'll give you a nickel for it. there it is. it's just a gate. on a road. -wasn't even that hard to find. this is so amazing! i know! you want to get a picture? i want more than a picture. -i want to go in. well, so do i, but they'll never let us. is that the attitude that helped you get penny? no, but i don't have three years to make that gate feel sorry for me. uh, there's a speaker box. -drive up, push the button, and let's see what happens. okay, yeah. what do we have to lose? i'm a little nervous. well, get over it. -confidence is key in these situations. right. you pushed it-- are you out of your mind? ! may i help you? -um... uh, uh... we don't have an appointment, and-and we don't belong here, but we-we're, like, crazy-big fans. i mean... "crazy for star wars" crazy, not crazy like we have a backpack full of duct tape, although we do have a backpack that you really don't want to look in. you're blowing it. -we want to meet george lucas and become his friends and play with him! hello? this speaker's not working, just pull up. and that's how it's done. all right, we've defeated the first challenge. -now we must steel ourselves to face the monster who defends the gate. we're trying to get past a security guard, not rescue zelda. i think what really needs to be rescued is your sense of whimsy, but one quest at a time. so what's the plan? uh, i'm just gonna be honest with the guy. -honesty will never get us in. well, what's your plan? all right, my plan is predicated on the assumption that they have a nurse's office and your willingness to be lightly stabbed. who are you here to see? uh, i'm just gonna tell you the truth. -oh, you are killing me. we don't have an appointment. we-we're just fans of mr. lucas's work, and we thought we'd take a shot and see if we could get in and look around. sorry, guys, we get this a lot. can't let you in. -what if i told you that i was the voice of yoda? a recording session i must attend. i'm sorry, don't listen to him. we're actually physicists. we're giving a lecture at berkeley later today. -we just... we had some time to kill. hey, listen, you seem like decent guys. i can't let you in, but i got some hats and t-shirts i can give you. thank you so much. see? -maybe honesty is the best... what are you doing? shedding the yoke of my oppressors, you blind, sad little man. don't move! code a-a-23, a-a-23. -copy. i can see the ranch, leonard! oh, it's rustic, it's lovely. i'd take a picture, but people are chasing me. i'm gonna make it...! -i'm gonna make it! they have tasers, but they wouldn't dare use... come on, raj. you are the king kong of ping-pong. you are the menace of table tennis. -put her away, 'cause i don't have a third one. yes! yes! rajesh eight, penny four. sorry, he's really good. -hey, raj. if howard can't keep the tardis, how great would it look at your place? what? yeah, what? i don't know much about doctor who, but if, um, you were to put this right outside your front door and open up the back, it would be like your entire apartment was the inside of the tardis, -which is pretty cool 'cause on the show, the inside of the tardis is bigger than the outside. but then again, i don't know much about doctor who. don't listen to her. you and i go way back-- we're like brothers. we are. -we are. oh, no! what a terrible serve! sorry, brother. eight-five. -this is ridiculous. i want a new champion. amy, were you serious about being able to serve? uh, it-it's been a long time. i don't know. -i'm probably pretty rusty. wow. she's my champion! well, if you can switch champions, so can i. i want raj. -hey. oh, come on, like you even care. i care! oh, wait, no, i don't. good luck, raj. -you know, i thought our friendship meant more to you. so did i. do you think they're gonna call the police? i don't know. maybe they'll call imperial officers to take us to a holding cell on the death star. -oh, i think that's below the pay grade of an imperial officer. stormtroopers are really the ones who... oh, shut up. he's right. uh, stormtroopers actually combine both the function of infantry and military police. -uh-huh, i'm normally very nice, but you shut up, too. so... what are you in for? honestly, i just wanted to meet mr. lucas and say thank you. you know, growing up, the movies had such an impact on my life. i never really fit in anywhere. -till i discovered the worlds he created and finally found a place where i belong. but why are you here? oh, i, uh, i hopped a fence, and they caught me in the sculpture gallery making out with a chewbacca statue. excuse me. leonard, they have a sculpture gallery. -all right, i talked to my supervisor, and we're gonna let you go with a warning. but if you ever come back, we will call the police and press charges. we understand. thank you so much. uh, what about me? -no, you're not going anywhere, kissy face. let's go. i have to take your picture to post at the guard gate. uh, one question about that picture. can it be with george lucas? -ooh, grumpy you are. okay, this is the match that decides it all. first to 11 wins. serve switches every five points. and just so you know, when this started, -i was going to put the tardis in a discreet corner of the house, but i've since turned mean, and now it's going right in the middle of the living room on a rotating platform with a sign that says "suck it." game on. except... raj is gonna win. isn't that right, raj? -uh, yeah, i mean, her serve was pretty good. come on, get in her head. be intimidating. okay, uh... i'm gonna own you, bitch! -whoa! hey! that's not nice. let's just play. one-zero. -two. three. four. five-nothing. wait, did you play badminton or sad-minton? -don't listen to him-- all she's got is a serve. now, grab a fresh tampon and put her away. wha...? a-and that's not offensive? where's the line? -it's in your purse. play. one-five. two-five. three-five. -four-five. five-five! six. seven. eight. -nine. ten-five! six. seven. eight. -nine. ten-ten! well, that was an exciting 40 seconds. it was, and now the serve is back to you, and the game is over. you know, amy, i, uh... can't help but wonder how sheldon would react if the tardis was at your place. -don't listen to her, just hit the ball. keep talking. if this doesn't get him into your bedroom, nothing will. are you still mad at me? yes, we missed our lecture, we were almost arrested, and you got me locked in a room with a man who forced his tongue down the throat of a stuffed wookiee. -boy, some people are just glass-half-empty. the glass is empty, sheldon. it's completely empty. if you gave that glass to a man who was dying of thirst, he would be dead, do you know why? before i answer, was he a smoker? -i think you're looking at this all wrong. fine, then tell me how i should be looking at it. well, not only did we go to skywalker ranch, we got in. no one we know can say that. and for all the times you find me irritating, today you got to watch someone shoot me with a taser. -that part was pretty good. see? you did flop around a lot. i'll take your word for it. i was too busy trying not to defecate. -you know, when they were escorting us to the detaining room, i looked through a door, and i'm pretty sure i saw a display case with the ark of the covenant. that's amazing. i know. and i saw jabba the hutt riding by on a motorcycle. although that was right after the tasing, so who can say for sure? -i-i guess this could count as an adventure. it was. and even though we're not allowed back there, they can never take today away from us. unlike my sense of smell, which hasn't returned since the tasing. no, i got nothing. -amy, the daleks are right on my tail! quick, we need to reset the time circuits. oh, no, i left my sonic screwdriver behind. really should have thought this through. == sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man -life doesn't always turn out the way you think it will. sometimes it spins out of your control. you know what's right, but you still do things wrong. you know who you love, but you still hurt them. you know you've lost your way, but you carry on walking. -sometimes the people who save us are the ones who we least expect it from. you don't notice it at first, but when they come into your life, everything changes and nothing is like it used to be. the manny come on then, assholes! -you didn't reckon with me! just you wait! yeah! this is my home. you won't take it away. -i won't give it up without a fight. you'll have a fight on your hands with me! come on... shit. what's that? hello? -oh, shit! shit! what the...! oh, god! shit! -where is the screaming coming from? it seems somebody wants to stop the wrecking ball with their face. great! stop gawping and clear the place! okay, okay. -do it! shit... missed. missed! is that all you've got? -you won't get me out of here! i said put me down! put me down! hello? i'm talking to you, lord helmet. -what are you doing? you can't just leave me here. hello? where are you going? ms. nielsen, this is the object of desire. -200 million of pure profit. my partner and i would offer it to you exclusively. it's a prime piece of real estate, a superb location. imagine how this place will be booming two years from now. yes! -kids, families, future! why are the police there? to help out. who do you think pays the taxes? them or us? -that's what i call social justice. exactly! let's stop playing games. i know that you'll lose 100 million if i don't join you... so if you want me to be in with 150 million, come up with something to convince me. -gentlemen. ms. nielsen... it's just delaying tactics. i'm sure she's taken the bait. she'll only do that when the whole site has been cleared. -she can do the math, you know. okay! it should have been done months ago. but who can't get his act together? you! -so what's the plan? one of us could... screw her. bullshit. we're not in her league. you're not! -and you are? you'd remind her of her first time. august, seriously... if this goes wrong... i don't want my kids sleeping under a bridge. -if that happens, it'll be a beautiful bridge. why did you become a nanny? because i love kids more than anything. kids are just so... cuddly. they don't scheme or tell lies, their hearts are open and they're just so... unspoiled. -why don't you have any of your own? it just never happened. because you're infertile? nobody wanted to bone you, did they? pardon me? -if i was a guy, i'd cut my dick off and throw it under a train rather than run the risk of banging someone like you. are you on drugs? i'm just saying the truth. hello? i'm a kid. -i'm allowed. you can't talk to me like that. you're a very mean, nasty... ugly girl! you're ugly! -you look like a mixture of thrush and herpes. i don't have to put up with this. wash the cheap make-up off your face so we can see your beard at least. ilona, where do you think you're going? are you offended? -ilona? come on, open up, please! your mom really loved that flat. she'd be proud of you. thanks, gitta. -that's sweet of you. it's terrible, rolf. i'm so sorry. are you okay? well, steffi, it's... -we haven't lost yet, have we? i mean... they win, we lose. just because they took my apartment doesn't mean i'll let them intimidate me. you can sleep in the kitchen. -i still have heinrich's bed. i'm allergic to cat hair. shit. what do we do now? we'll be next. -no one-man protest like rolf, at any rate. we have to do something. you could drop in on klina and say "hello". dad, shut it. why not? -that's what we'll do. i'll go to klina and make him wish he'd never set eyes on me. what? my friends and i used to put a pot of water over the fire and hang our balls into it when the water started to boil. your balls? -whoever took their balls out of the boiling water first was the loser. i never lost! those poor balls. are you crazy? that makes you infertile. -steffi, the point is, i never lost. i hung in there. you see? remember this face, guys. it's the last thing klina will ever see. -this face here. barn! hello? mr. klina? hello? -everything i once believed in... is now ground zero! i'm just lighting a cigarette. want one? ilona? -cigarettes... just open the door. i'm dying. mr. klina. your children are... -ilona. ilona! ilona! i quit. why is that, ilona? -your kids are psychopaths! please don't do anything rash. ilona, please. take a deep, calm breath. look at me. -ilona, you are a beautiful woman. don't forget the notice period. notice period? screw the notice period. your kids need a therapist, not a nanny. -ilona, ilona. do it for the kids. the kids need you. the kids worship you. they love you. -you can't leave them, poor kids. how do they know about my uterus? i'm single. single! know what that means for a woman my age? -let me tell you something. take your notice period and stick it... up your bottom. that was the fourth nanny in three months. it's a bit cold with the heater out. i called the gas company... -oh, it's fine. it's fine. (stammers) no, i could not be happier. do you want some tea? -sure. i mean, honestly, i could not love this place any more. it's just... it's exactly what i needed. you know? just to get away. -no wi-fi, no cell, just away. you know, this is kind of exactly why we moved to woodstock in the first place, you know? just to get away from people, from noise, from all that suffocating culture, you know? "must see this," "must buy that." you know, movies, television, news. -you know? all those prying eyes. so... here you go. uh... well, it's a special place. -this used to be your studio? are you from new york? uh, long island. you know... oh. -jewish self-loathing, holocaust, theological ambivalence, disappointment to my mother... the whole shebang. (laughs) mm. mm, well, you know what, walter? i think... -i only have a couple more hours, so i think i'm... i should... i think i'm just gonna get back to work. but thank you so much for stopping. i lost most of my family in the camps. -oh, my gosh. uh, i'm so sorry. i didn't mean to... the death camps. right. -yeah, in poland. oh, f... yeah, of course. well, who didn't back then, huh? oh, yeah. eh, life goes on. -life goes on. life... life goes on. ah. not for my parents, though. -no. my mother died in auschwitz in the gas chambers. ah, uh-huh. my father didn't, though. no? -no, no. the typhoid. bergen-belsen. oh, right. oh, yeah. -my sister... i mean, my oldest sister, ruth. she was in the resistance. oh, wow. good for her. -good for her. not for long, though. no? the nazis found them about a week after she joined. i see. -shot her in the back of the head. ruth. point-blank. yeah, sure. ooh. -wow. my younger sister tamar, she survived treblinka. she did? of course, the liberators gave them all food and she ate too quickly. uh-oh. -died two days later. mm. diarrhea. oh, that'll do her. terrible way to go. -i knew others. mm. maya: we all know the statistics: 38 billion water bottles wasted each year. -17 million barrels of oil annually to make those wasted plastic water bottles... yada, yada, yada. but what if we're not the enemy? what if we're the savior? mississippi river. polluted. -ohio river. polluted. according to the epa, more than half of the rivers and waterways in the united states can no longer support life. 13,000 miles of river ways contain fish with elevated levels of mercury. this is not just ecological apocalypse. -this is a wonderful opportunity for nestle waters. the anti-tap water strategy worked for a while, but we need to expand that. nowadays, you can't trust any water. except ours. we're not polluters, we're environmentalists. -let's make pollution work for us. we are not the problem. we are the solution. jonathan: i love it. -debbie: that's great. i love it. isn't... isn't thom supposed to be here? thom? -(music blaring on headphones) - (quiet chatter) your tax dollars at work, folks! your fucking tax dollars at work. you think they give a damn if i'm late? they don't give a damn. -i'm an attorney. i have motions to file, cases to try. they are interfering with a basic constitutional right. we're all late for work. what's that supposed to mean? -it's supposed to mean shut up. that's what it's supposed to mean. unbelievable. liz, hey, it's me. we're stopped. -dead stopped. listen, i need you to move my 9:00 to 10:00, my 10:00 to 11:00, my 11:00 to 12:00, cancel my lunch with bob and see if he can do drinks on tuesday. i'll call in for my 4:00 on my way to my 3:00, but don't schedule anything after 5:00 in case my 4:00 runs long. hello? jonathan: -thom? hey, guys. uh, bad news. the train is at a dead stop. better late than never, thom! -thank you, gottfrid. as gustaff says, "no worms for you, mr. early bird." (all chuckle) stay with us, thom. -yeah, i'm gonna stay on the line. hopefully the train will start moving soon. maya: so instead of being the evil plastic bottle makers, nestle becomes the voice of environmentalism. -"we just want you to have clean water. but there isn't any. so we go out, we find it, and we bring it to your supermarket." jonathan: -yeah, i love it. debbie: great opportunities for social here, right? jonathan: yeah. -would you like the front page? no, thank you. read it? no. get it on your ipad? -no. then how come you don't want it? because i don't. why not? "why not"? -aren't you interested in the world around you? uh, no, i'm not. how can you say that? uh, very happily. (snaps fingers) hey. -what? can you turn that down, please? it's very "boom, boom." it's affecting other people. you can't just bury your head in the sand. -yes, you can. you need to stay informed. okay, so what have you learned today in that newspaper that you didn't know a year ago? or 10 years ago? that the middle east is fucked? -that politicians lie, that people kill? that's not news. there's not enough misery in your own life, and it's hard enough trying to get through the day without learning about all the people who didn't get through yesterday. that is the most selfish thing i've ever heard. (sighs) okay, why do you read the newspapers? -hmm? what, are you going to cure ebola? are you going to solve the ukraine or bahrain or acid rain? you read the newspaper 'cause you think it gives you an edge. helps you get ahead. -helps you stay connected. you know? that's selfish and deluded. you only care about yourself. the best thing people can do for others is to examine themselves. -but of course it's a lot easier to look in the pages of "the new york times" than it is to look in the mirror. for your information, i hap... man on pa: good morning, ladies and gentlemen. we apologize for the extended delay. -bullshit! as the train was entering the station this morning, it struck a commuter who had fallen on the tracks. despite making every effort to stop the train in time, this collision resulted in a fatality. this train is now a crime scene and may not be moved. we apologize for this inconvenience and will be sending another train shortly on the opposite track. -that train will continue on to manhattan's grand central station. we apologize again for the delay. walter: well, she's a very old dog, but her hearing started to go a couple of years back. oh, that'll happen. -it's not so bad... mm-hmm. except that she has diabetes. mm. if she doesn't get her shots on time, don't ask. -you know what, walter? i am so sorry. i've got to pick up my son in, like, an hour from school, so i've... she'd never make it through the night. no, i wouldn't think so. -her sister died last year. i figured. coyotes got her. yep. (screams) -(thumping) fuck! (exhales sharply) (groans) okay. -woman: almighty father, eternal god, hear our prayers for your son/daughter whom you have called from this life to yourself. grant him/her light, happiness, and peace. let him/her pass in safety through the gates of death. guard him/her from harm. -and on that great day of resurrection, raise him/her up with all your saints. amen. amen. so horrible. it's unbelievable. -it could've been anyone, you know? i didn't hug my son this morning. just, you know, "sorry, buddy, gotta go. time to make the doughnuts." you know what? -i think you were right. about this newspaper, about the world. i mean, i waste so much time thinking about everything but what really matters. i mean, newspapers, trade papers, magazines, blogs, twitter feeds, "people" fucking magazine, all day, every day, and for what? i mean, should it take death to make you think about life? -it really makes you think, you know? about how you're spending your life. that's why i carry jesus in my heart. because all of life is just a chance to get closer to jesus. and when you get closer to jesus, you get closer to peace. -it's been so long since i've been to church. i should go, get some perspective, you know? i picture myself doing all this stupid work. happy as a pig in shit. it doesn't matter how happy you are. -it's still shit. mm-hmm. and if you're happy in shit... you're probably a pig. mm-hmm. (chuckles) -(crying) (train horn blares) i hear she was reading her ipad when she fell in. so sad. i hear the new one's gonna have a better screen. -the old one already had retina display. no, i don't mean the display, i mean the screen. what about the screen? split. split? -split. you can have two windows open. no way! way. i gotta get to the apple store. -me, too. where the fuck is this train? it's typical. they screwed up my morning, they might as well screw up my afternoon. how hard could it be for them to find one train? -hey, liz. still waiting. listen. send me the email with the word doc you converted from that pdf. i'll enclose the jpegs, upload it to dropbox, and you can transfer it all to the final powerpoint. -make sure you cc gary and david, bcc amy... jonathan on phone: we can't just go in with a bunch of tv. wieden bulgari are gonna come in... (train horn blaring) with a mountain of digital shit. -debbie: we should think about, at some point, of advocacy work we can do. you know, "fight pollution," or whatever, while reminding everyone not to drink other water. maya: definitely. -classic zero-to-hero strategy. our target lives online. i take some money out of traditional media, really make this a facebook-led campaign. jonathan: i say take the money, give half to greenpeace, spend the other half publicizing the hell out of our donation. -debbie: we did charity last year, jonathan. it barely moved the needle. i think we can spend our money better elsewhere. track 18! -track 18! maya: what about #giveadamn? you didn't send a pdf, liz, you sent a zip. just send me a jpeg, for christ's sake. -gottfrid: i like this idea of #giveadamn. you know, really involve the consumer... come on, no, no, no. i've had a hell of a day! -maya: we need a handle for this, something that encapsulates the idea that natural water is dangerous. oh, well, how about just that? how about, um... you know, "natural water isn't." when it is, you can drink it, but it's not right now. -maya: i like that. you could just have, "because natural water isn't," then a list of chemicals in the ocean versus a poland spring bottle. jonathan: -compelling. that's a good one, thom. you almost here? um... no. we're still on the train. -just sitting here. we hit something on the track. gottfrid: i hope they at least killed it, yes, thom? jonathan: -okay, uh, let's talk about the presentation... man on pa: this is the last call for 156, southeast scarborough through south fordham. thom: -here's what else happens when you hit your 40s. you start thinking about "the outlaw josey wales." at least i did. clint eastwood, 1976. josey's in this bar when a guy walks in. -bad guy, black hat, cigar in his mouth. hey! "i'm looking for josey wales," he calls out. josey's standing in the shadows, hand on his pistol, says, "are you a bounty hunter?" the guy turns to him and says, -"a man's gotta do something for a living these days." josey sneers, looks at him, and says, "dyin' ain't much of a living, boy." "dying ain't much of a living, boy." and then he shoots him through the heart. -jonathan on phone: great, this was a very productive meeting. i'm happy. thom, are you happy? gottfrid: -did we lose him? maya: i think we lost him. gottfrid: jonathan, i really think thom needs to get his priorities straight. -jonathan: thom? thom, you there? thom? previously on "the 100"... -it's started. they're bleeding my friends. i think i know how to take mount weather. we just need someone on the inside. bellamy? -they're already using their blood, and things are gonna get ugly in here real fast. you're not taking anyone else out of this room without a fight. no. hey! everybody move! -take the level! go! there's a war council meeting happening tonight, and all the leaders are going to be there. we're gonna use a missile. whitman to mount weather command. -all targets accounted for. we have to start evacuating. if we evacuate, they'll know we have a spy inside their walls. we slip away right now. on your command, sir. -fire. we have to leave now. you knew. mom... please tell me this wasn't you. -i wish i could. no. no. clarke. i could have warned them. -i could have saved them. if they see us, they'll strike again. victory stands on the back of sacrifice. you know that. i want the mountain men dead, all of them. -we need bandages! right here. it's no use. she's still alive. we save those who can be saved. -i'm so sorry. lincoln, be careful. it's not stable. they're down there. yaagh! -do you hear someone? abby, i'm sure clarke is ok. we'll find her. indra. she's alive. -oh, indra. _ sniper! octavia, go. the spotter. -he aimed the missile. he's alone. clarke, just slow down. if he is a spotter, he's here to make sure we're dead. if he tells the mountain were alive... -he won't. how can you be sure? because i'm gonna kill him. get down! lincoln, you must stop the bleeding. -indra, let me help you. no. what do we do? no! we're trapped. -i say we use the sky girl to draw fire. you got a problem? yes. you are the bringers of death. help. -someone's alive down there. jasper, where do you want this? put it here, no weak spots. we need to make sure they don't get in. they won't. -we took the level, but now we have to hold it. they will be coming, and we need to be ready. harper, get some pots from the kitchen, fill them with water, as big as you can find. ok? watch out. -good, fox. let's go get those hallway cameras, all right? nope. leave the hallway cameras. we'll need eyes out there. -you can do that? have you met me? where are we on the doors? elevators are all disabled. i shorted the other stairwell locks. -this one is tricky, though. i can't seem to... that works, too. how long you think we can hold them off? as long as we have to. -i've got to get down there. now. go, go. come on. let's take it! -come on! what are we gonna do? we can't move. i'm going for the shooter. i'll sound the horn when it's done. -all right, my friend. i'm going with you. no. nyko needs you here. are you sure you're up to this? -_ what can i do? pressure here. this is my village. you're the chief second. -save our people. we're pinned down, and the other seconds won't follow me. so make them. indra? oh... -she's losing too much blood. indra. we have to do something. thanks, sky girl, but there's nothing to do until the sniper is dead. we are not ready for this. -yes, we are. just follow the plan, we'll be ok... i promise. no guns. you were right. -it's because they can't kill us, not like this, anyway. be careful with that thing. we're in close. you could hit one of us. wait a second. -some of them aren't wearing hazmat suits. what's it mean? means they're cured. marrow treatments worked. get this down. -get ready. get it open! let's do it. we got it. alpha team, go. -take it down. go, go, go. now! retreat! retreat. -pull back. pull back now. raah! we did it! seal the barricade! -jasper! no! no! jasper! fox! -fox! no! no! i told her she'd be ok. i promised her. -hold on. i'm coming. marcus. marcus, it's ok. i'm here. -it's ok. abby. it's my leg. you're bleeding, but not bad. can you move your toes? -yeah. good. i don't think anything is broken. you're lucky. i'm gonna get you out of here. -not that lucky. that could be clarke. i'm not leaving you here. no! uh! -uh! i'll prep the table. uh! no. no. -uh! thanks. bellamy... you ok? ok. -it's all right. gonna be ok. gonna be ok. come on. we have to get her someplace safe. -you're ok. dad, you're home. yeah. the drill bit broke again. what are they doing here? -look. they're in trouble. we just need someplace safe to stay. they need to go now. let me explain. -how about you explain where he got that uniform? maya, you know how dangerous this is. what are you doing? what mom would've done. i need you to leave. -sorry. we can't do that. that's ok. he's gonna help us. really? -because i'm not getting that. my parents were part of a movement that was against using outsider blood. my mom refused the treatments, and it killed her. she was willing to die for what she believed in. maya, you were 5. -i couldn't leave you alone. not a little girl anymore. they were willing to kill you before. if you get caught... we won't if you help us. -please. they're killing us. we don't have anywhere else to go. just this once, just for one night. my room is this way. -thank you. you know they'll never stop, right? if the rumors are true and your bone marrow can get us back to the ground, they'll never stop. it'll be light soon. we won't have the darkness to hide us. -neither will he. i feel your anger, clarke. do me a favor... no more lessons. you need to focus. we do what we must to survive. -the enemy does the same. it's not personal. it is to me. you think that killing the shooter will make you feel better, but it won't. the only thing that will do that is winning this war. -that's enough. is it him? no. lincoln. clarke? -commander, wh... octavia said you were both... you've seen octavia? yeah. the few that survived the explosion are being pinned down by a sniper. -that's why i'm here. come on. we need to get to the high ground. don't move. don't move. -your femoral artery is lacerated. the weight of the beam, it's the only thing keeping you alive. ha! hell of a bandage. ohh... -i'll figure it out. abby, just... go find your daughter. if i can get a tourniquet around your leg, it buys us more time. go find clarke. -she's not here. she's... fine. lexa, too. lovejoy's key card will get you into the armory. the guns are locked, but the guard has the key. -i can lure him away or... no. there's no time. once i get the guns, how do i get them to level 5? they're watching every door. -maybe not. the mess hall has a trash chute. a trash chute? there's one on every level. best part... no radiation alarms. -the hatches leak like crazy. so they put in these airlocks just to be safe. you get the guns, i'll get them into the mess hall. you're a natural-born revolutionary. -my mom was the revolutionary. i'm just trying to do what's right. be back here in 30 minutes. maya, we were just on our way to see you. how can i help you, mr. president? -they're gonna come in a lot hotter next time. you know that, right? all we got to do is hold the floor until bellamy finds a way out. we're gonna need more than a bucket of water and 4 guns to do that. this is president wallace talking to the people who just killed 10 of my men. -jasper. i thought we'd try something a little different this time. there's only 20 minutes of oxygen in maya's suit. i know she's a friend of yours. 20 minutes, your friend will either suffocate or burn... -but you can save her. all you have to do is surrender. we can't wait anymore. our people are dying down there. if we can get to the crater, we can tunnel in from the side. -there's no cover. i'll do it. get back. agh! any other bad ideas? -ahh. just one. now what, sky girl? now we dig. stay down. -stay down. stay down. move it. hey, you're ok. listen to me. -fox is ok. bellamy saved her. he's gonna get some guns in here through the trash chute. if we can get guns in, we can get you out. no. -we can't. i dismantled the chute. i'm sorry. i didn't think we'd be trying to open it ourselves. i can fix it. -thank you. go help him. harper... i won't let you die. i won't let you surrender. -marcus? marcus, marcus, wake up. open your eyes. you have to wake up. marcus, open your eyes. -oh, i'm so cold. i'm right here. i'm right here. i'm ok. i'm sorry, marcus. -i'm so sorry. it's not your fault, abby. it is my fault. she's my daughter. what are you talking about? -she knew. clarke escaped... before the attack. she knew it was coming. yes. oh... -how could she do something like this? because she grew up on the ark. she learned what to do from us. she let this happen. she could've stopped it. -she made a choice, like executing people for stealing medicine and food... like sucking the air from the lungs of 300 parents so they could save their children. like floating the man you love... to save your people. yes. we have to answer for our sins, abby. after everything we've done, do we even deserve to survive? -she's almost out of oxygen. it's been 19 minutes. you're not helping, harper. don't worry. we'll get it open, won't we, monty? -almost there. almost isn't good enough. i just need to bypass the... oh! screw this. what the hell did you do? -cut the power to the motor. help me. we can't get leverage. there's someone in there. they're coming in! -bellamy. get her in here. come on. come on! go, go, go! -hurry up. i got you. decontamination complete. all clear. dad, what are you doing here? -what your mother would have done. come here. ha ha ha! uh! hey, listen to me. -clarke is coming with an army of grounders. what? we have to keep all of you safe until then. and don't tell me finn finally got his peace talks. something like that. -come on. we got a lot of work to do. so much for the element of surprise. i'll draw his fire. no. -i will. drop the weapon. gah! just let him kill me, then take him out. go on, clarke. -please. you people need you. you are my people. good shot. did that make you feel better? -no. uh! it's no use. come on! we can do this. -wait. listen. lincoln. he did it. we still can't get them out. -want to bet? get back in there. it's been 30 minutes. so the girl is dead by now. i know that, lieutenant. -they've made their choice. go in strong. take them alive if you can, but take them. copy that. throwing flashbangs. -fire in the hole. let's go! go! mr. president... find them. -it's all clear. won't they see us? relax. maya took out the cameras. yeah, well, we're still sitting ducks in a group like this. -you're right. so we're gonna split up. no. we do this together. we survive together. -bellamy's right. well, they don't trust maya anymore. who the hell is gonna help us now? they are. we're going to hide you. -not everyone here agrees with cage, not no a long shot. come with ,me. we'll divide you along the way. let's go. it'll be ok. -let's go. you're safe now. quick, quick. go this way. that way. -go. find your people. find your people. go. hey, we're coming with you. -no, you're not. they still don't know i'm here, and i need to keep it that way. so what do we do? stay alive. be ready to fight. -war is coming. marcus... marcus, marcus, wake up. marcus, wake up. wake up! -hold on. hold on. hold on. it's still not working! sky people! -a group of them! we saw the missile, heard the blast, figured you could use some help. just in time. thank you. ok. -all right. i need everybody on that rope. make way. let it through. marcus... -marcus... do you hear that? we've got two survivors. abby, kane, we'll get you out of here. we're gonna be ok. -bring them up! over here. ugh! here you go. ok. -oh... you did it. yeah. i had a little help. kane needs blood, "o" neg., right now. -abby, slow down. you're bleeding. you need help, too. i'm fine. heda! -heda! heda! heda! heda! heda! -heda! heda! what happened here will not stand. the mountain will fall. the dead will be avenged! -enough! that's enough. there are still others in the wreckage. we heard them. go to work! -let's get a rope up here. haul them up. let's go! wait till i say. with our two people working together, we're gonna win this war, clarke. -you're not ready. i will not miss this fight. you've done well, octavia of the sky people. today you saved lives. tomorrow you'll take them. -now get my gear. we leave with the commander. wait. i thought you were dead. i'm glad you're not. -you, too. how's kane?

maya, you know how dangerous this is. what are you doing? what mom would've done. -i need you to leave. sorry. we can't do that. that's ok. he's gonna help us. -really? because i'm not getting that. my parents were part of a movement that was against using outsider blood. my mom refused the treatments, and it killed her. -she was willing to die for what she believed in. maya, you were 5. i couldn't leave you alone. not a little girl anymore. they were willing to kill you before. -if you get caught-- we won't if you help us. fox: please. they're killing us. -we don't have anywhere else to go. just this once, just for one night. my room is this way. thank you. you know they'll never stop, right? -if the rumors are true and your bone marrow can get us back to the ground, they'll never stop. it'll be light soon. we won't have the darkness to hide us. -neither will he. i feel your anger, clarke. do me a favor-- no more lessons. you need to focus. we do what we must to survive. -the enemy does the same. it's not personal. it is to me. you think that killing the shooter will make you feel better, but it won't. -the only thing that will do that is winning this war. that's enough. is it him? no. -lincoln. clarke? commander, wh... octavia said you were both-- you've seen octavia? -yeah. the few that survived the explosion are being pinned down by a sniper. that's why i'm here. come on. -we need to get to the high ground. g'uh! uh! uh! nngh! -don't move. don't move. your femoral artery is lacerated. the weight of the beam, it's the only thing keeping you alive. -ha! hell of a bandage. ohh... i'll figure it out. abby, just... -go find your daughter. if i can get a tourniquet around your leg, it buys us more time. go find clarke. she's not here. -she's... fine. lexa, too. aah! aah! -aah! lovejoy's key card will get you into the armory. the guns are locked, but the guard has the key. i can lure him away or-- no. -there's no time. once i get the guns, how do i get them to level 5? they're watching every door. maybe not. the mess hall has a trash chute. -a trash chute? there's one on every level. best part--no radiation alarms. the hatches leak like crazy. so they put in these airlocks -just to be safe. you get the guns, i'll get them into the mess hall. you're a natural-born revolutionary. my mom was the revolutionary. -i'm just trying to do what's right. be back here in 30 minutes. cage: maya, we were just on our way to see you. how can i help you, mr. -president? they're gonna come in a lot hotter next time. you know that, right? all we got to do is hold the floor until bellamy finds a way out. -we're gonna need more than a bucket of water and 4 guns to do that. cage, on radio: this is president wallace talking to the people who just killed 10 of my men. -monty: jasper. cage: i thought we'd try something a little different this time. -there's only 20 minutes of oxygen in maya's suit. i know she's a friend of yours. 20 minutes, your friend will either suffocate or burn... but you can save her. all you have to do is surrender. -we can't wait anymore. our people are dying down there. if we can get to the crater, we can tunnel in from the side. there's no cover. -i'll do it. get back. agh! caris: any other bad ideas? -ahh. just one. unh! unh! now what, sky girl? -now we dig. stay down. stay down. stay down. move it. -hey, you're ok. listen to me. fox is ok. bellamy saved her. he's gonna get some guns in here through the trash chute. -if we can get guns in, we can get you out. monty: no. we can't. i dismantled the chute. -i'm sorry. i didn't think we'd be trying to open it ourselves. i can fix it. thank you. go help him. -i won't let you die. i won't let you surrender. uh! mm... ah... -uh... uh! uh... ungh! marcus? -uh! marcus, marcus, wake up. open your eyes. you have to wake up. marcus, open your eyes. -oh, i'm so cold. i'm right here. i'm right here. i'm ok. i'm sorry, marcus. -i'm so sorry. it's not your fault, abby. it is my fault. she's my daughter. what are you talking about? -she knew. clarke escaped... before the attack. she knew it was coming. yes. -oh... how could she do something like this? because she grew up on the ark. she learned what to do from us. she let this happen. -she could've stopped it. she made a choice, like executing people for stealing medicine and food... like sucking the air -from the lungs of 300 parents so they could save their children. like floating the man you love... to save your people. yes. -we have to answer for our sins, abby. after everything we've done, do we even deserve to survive? harper: -she's almost out of oxygen. it's been 19 minutes. you're not helping, harper. don't worry. we'll get it open, won't we, monty? -almost there. almost isn't good enough. i just need to bypass the--oh! screw this. what the hell did you do? -cut the power to the motor. help me. monty: we can't get leverage. harper: -there's someone in there. they're coming in! monty: bellamy. get her in here. -come on. come on! go, go, go! bellamy: hurry up. -uh! uh! i got you. voice: decontamination complete. -all clear. dad, what are you doing here? what your mother would have done. come here. ha ha ha! -uh! hey, listen to me. clarke is coming with an army of grounders. what? we have to keep all of you safe until then. -and don't tell me finn finally got his peace talks. something like that. come on. we got a lot of work to do. -so much for the element of surprise. i'll draw his fire. no. i will. aagh! -hrrgh! uh! ah! drop the weapon. gah! -just let him kill me, then take him out. go on, clarke. please. you people need you. you are my people. -uhh! uh... good shot. did that make you feel better? no. -ugh! uh! caris: oh! aagh! -uh! it's no use. come on! we can do this. wait. -listen. lincoln. he did it. we still can't get them out. want to bet? -get back in there. it's been 30 minutes. so the girl is dead by now. i know that, lieutenant. they've made their choice. -go in strong. take them alive if you can, but take them. copy that. throwing flashbangs. fire in the hole. -let's go! go! emerson: mr. president... find them. -it's all clear. won't they see us? relax. maya took out the cameras. miller: -yeah, well, we're still sitting ducks in a group like this. you're right. so we're gonna split up. no. -we do this together. we survive together. bellamy's right. miller: well, they don't trust maya anymore. -who the hell is gonna help us now? they are. we're going to hide you. not everyone here agrees with cage, not by a long shot. -come with ,me. we'll divide you along the way. let's go. bellamy: it'll be ok. -vincent: let's go. you're safe now. quick, quick. go this way. -that way. go. find your people. find your people. go. -hey, we're coming with you. no, you're not. they still don't know i'm here, and i need to keep it that way. so what do we do? -stay alive. be ready to fight. war is coming. marcus... marcus, marcus, wake up. -marcus, wake up. wake up! uh! nngh! aah! -uh... hold on. hold on. hold on. caris: -it's still not working! woman: sky people! man: a group of them! -sinclair: we saw the missile, heard the blast, figured you could use some help. just in time. thank you. -ok. all right. i need everybody on that rope. make way. let it through. -marcus... marcus... do you hear that? we've got two survivors. abby, kane, we'll get you out of here. -we're gonna be ok. over here. ugh! here you go. ok. -oh... you did it. yeah. i had a little help. kane needs blood, "o" neg., right now. -jackson: abby, slow down. you're bleeding. you need help, too. i'm fine. -heda! heda! heda! heda! heda! -heda! heda! heda! what happened here will not stand. the mountain will fall. -the dead will be avenged! enough! that's enough. there are still others in the wreckage. we heard them. -go to work! sinclair: let's get a rope up here. haul them up. let's go! -wait till i say. lexa: with our two people working together, we're gonna win this war, clarke. you're not ready. -i will not miss this fight. you've done well, octavia of the sky people. today you saved lives. tomorrow you'll take them. now get my gear. -we leave with the commander. wait. i thought you were dead. i'm glad you're not. you, too. -how's kane? he'll live. we could really use your help. i can't. we're leaving. -i've arranged for a caravan to take you and the wounded back to camp jaha. clarke-- the sniper wasn't wearing a hazmat suit. the marrow treatment works. -they're gonna kill all my friends. then you better hurry. i need you to do something for me. don't forget that we're the good guys. it's time. -may we meet again. (man) previously on bates motel... these are for you and your son. (norma louise) when annika died, she gave me something. (dylan) what's on it? -(norma louise) i don't know. it's locked. (dylan) some guy was just searching the office. he said that we had something that wasn't ours. (norma louise) what? -i'll hide it at the farm, then we can figure out what to do together, but it can't stay here. tell me to leave! caleb! is it really like she said it was? yeah, i just want to tell her i'm sorry. -(norman) what the hell is going on here, dylan? does mom know he's here? look, we don't want any trouble. norman! you can't tell her, you understand me? -he raped her! everything i've built with mom... it'll all be destroyed. you betrayed mother. and she needs to know. -norman, please! yeah, you better move your truck, honey. you okay to drive? yeah, i'm fine, thanks. oh, god. -what the hell are you doing? come on, jackass. what is your problem? go around already. so pass already! -oh. oh. great. this is just great. you okay? -are you crazy? you drove me off the road. i could've been killed. you're lucky you're not dead, norma bates. i'm calling 911. -sure, you could. but do you know who would be better for you to call? bob paris. he'd like to speak with you. you have something that belongs to him. -i don't know what you're talking about. seriously. do you think we're idiots? i don't know who you are. i'm calling sheriff romero. -he can't save you. can't even save himself. do yourself a favor: call mr. paris. you can reach him at the arcanum club. -and do it soon. what brings you out here, sheriff? i'm not clamming, stanley. the girl they found in the reeds over there? well, you know the tides. -where do you think she might have been thrown in to end up here? well, this time of year, could be anywhere within a mile or so. current would've carried her down here. oh, not a lot to go on. you didn't see anything unusual, did you? -okay. good talking to you, stanley. you know, a funny thing... about five days ago i came across a dufont kid down here in the channel. he was rowing a skiff. -said he was bird watching. he didn't have a camera... or binoculars. and it was raining. and i didn't think much about it until the next day when i read in the paper about the girl. you're talking about clay dufont, right? -yeah. why didn't you say anything to anyone about this? nobody asked. thanks, stanley. your mom asked me to stay with you. -was she upset? yeah, i think so, but... don't worry about anything. you want some breakfast? something terrible has happened. i found out that norma's brother has been staying up at dylan's farm. -i had to tell mother. did you have to? he raped her. he's dangerous. i don't understand how dylan could have anything to do with him. -because it's his father. and we all whitewash our parents' sins, because on some, some level... because we need to. mother? no, it's me. -i'm so sorry, dylan. i had to tell her. i had to. yeah? (woman) hi, is this dylan massett? -yeah. (woman) i'm calling from st. sebastian hospital. we have your mother, norma bates, here in the er. she was in an accident. i'm looking for my mom, norma bates. -dylan, i'm here. we have to get out of here. i have to tell you something. norma... i'm so sorry. -about what? ab... about everything. well, it's not like you're the one who ran me off the road. wait, wait... -someone ran you off the road? yes, and threatened me. some guy who told me to contact some other guy because i had something of his. what's wrong with these criminals that they can't just hang on to their own shit? like it's my fault! -who did he tell you to contact? bob paris. i've heard romero say his name too. who is he? i've heard his name around the drug trade. -i think he's a money guy. look, we need to get that flash drive to romero. no. no? no. -dylan, we're in trouble. the motel is probably going to go under. i have no financial backup. norman is getting worse. he had another blackout this morning. -i found him in the kitchen mumbling to himself. i couldn't wake him up. i'm scared, dylan. i don't know what to do. i don't... -i don't know how to care... take care of him without any money. norma... i know that flash drive is incredibly valuable. that dying girl gave it to me, as if she knew that i needed help. -she gave it to me... it's like an omen. i won't give it up. i'm not gonna give it up. please, dylan. -please. (bob) hold on a second. here he is. always the drama with you. you want to join us? -sure. have you met marcus young, alex? he's the one running against you. yeah, we've met. now he can leave. -you're the sheriff. thanks for lunch, bob. we'll be in touch. how about a smile, sheriff? relax. -you're always so tense, man. it's not good for your heart. or your head. so clay dufont got rid of the body for you. that's a big accusation, alex. -you want some dessert? will you calm the hell down? i'm surprised you haven't had a stroke yet. wh... why was lindsay davis blackmailing you, bob? -whatever she had on you, she passed to annika, and now they're both dead and it's disappeared. and? so what's gone missing, bob? what are we lookinfor? flash drive. -a simple silver flash drive. it's my property, and i want it back. what the hell is on it? confidential information. worth the lives of two women? -you're asking me? you've killed people for the good of this town and we've both slept better for it. you're telling me that two women are lying in the morgue 'cause the town's welfare depended on it? i'm going to talk to you like a person now, alex. like somebody i grew up with, played ball with, -i felt sorry for because their home life was so crappy, okay? you are in a hole here. a deep hole. you want to do what's in the best interest of the town, find the damn flash drive and quit making this about everything else. i didn't particularly want to bring marcus young out here to take your job. -you left me with no choice. you left none of us with any choice. you know what, bob? i feel exactly the same way. and you're forcing me into a corner, and there's not gonna be room in that corner for both of us. -no, there's not. and the only way i see out of this for both of us is for you to go to norma bates and get back the flash drive. yeah, i'm pretty sure she has it. you know her, right? (emma) so here's an extra towel, some toiletries, and, yeah, -i'll be in the office if you need anything. oh, and the password for the wifi is "mother," all caps. she doesn't know anything about caleb. you didn't say anything to her. what are you doing, man? -no, i did tell her. i told her this morning. stop it, norman! dylan, i swear. i don't know why she pretended like she doesn't know. -then either she's insane or you are. he feels bad, norman. all he wants is to talk to her, to tell her how much he regrets it. he's not a monster. and you don't have to say anything to her. -i've made a decision. i'm gonna tell her myself. soon. just stay out of it. you look hungry. -me? yeah. come here a second. my car had to get towed. i'm just waiting for the bus. -does that mean you're not hungry? you know, i probably am. i haven't eaten since this morning. but i need to catch the bus. i live, like, 20 minutes away. -come on. i'll give you a lift. i'm going right near where you live. where do you live? i, uh... -no, i don't want to put you out. i'm a community college teacher who teaches three 50-minute classes a week. you're not putting me out. i wanted to ask for a cup of sugar, but you said that was off-limit. get the hell out of here. -look, don't you point that thing at me unless you plan on using it. okay. (chick) something bad happened to you. want to hug it out? go to hell. -yeah, yeah, i get that. i totally get that. hey, you like boar jerky? you've never had jerky until you've had boar jerky. no. -i got too many rabbits here. you need one of those? no, i don't want any rabbits. yeah, no, i don't like 'em either. i shoot 'em for marina. -she's making a bedspread out of their furs or whatever. so you want to have a deep and meaningful? caleb, look at me! life is shit. it's that way for everyone. -there's only one thing that makes it better. boar jerky. what the hell is wrong with you, man? everything. i got some whiskey. -it'll make you feel better. come on. if you ever need some extra cash, just let me know. you're not gonna live high on the hog with a medical marijuana crop. yeah, no, i don't need anything. -i'm not staying here long anyway, so... oh, so... so you're taking off on the kid, yeah? your son? it's a long story. i'm only asking 'cause... -i got a job that i think you might be good for. that i might be good for? yeah. when the dea burned this town down, took my transpo guy with it. i need a driver. -the guy fled to puerto rico. who flees to puerto rico? i could think of a million other place s to flee to. it pays good. 25 large. -but it's not without risk. you look like the kind of guy who can handle risk. you know, i'm turning over a new leaf. i got my son. well, well, leaves are leaves, money is money. -you let me know by the end of the week. (james) i can't help it. i'm just, ah, built that way. took care of both my parents... emotionally. i was raised to study every breath, every gesture. -it's a survival skill. i survived. i never met anyone like you. someone who just talks about things so openly. maybe you could actually help me with some things that i'm going through. -difficult things. i... you know where to find me. well, actually, i don't. your card is in my car. the one that got towed. -there you go. don't lose that one. call me anytime. okay. can i ask you a question? -of course. are you attracted to me? where did that come from? i don't know. you just... -you seem to be all, like, open and honest about everything. are you? because i think you are. yeah, i am. a lot, to be completely honest. -and... and that's okay for me to come to you as a patient? it's okay. i can handle myself. can you handle yourself? okay. -jeez, it's hard to reach you up in those mountains. um, listen, i need to know if you had any luck with that, um... that thing that we were talking about? yeah. just... please call me. oh, hi, honey. -i had a late lunch, so i'm just gonna make you something. okay? were you wearing that this morning? yeah. why? -no, you were wearing something else... that blue and white dress. the one i like. no. did i talk to you this morning? -i think that you had a blackout this morning, sweetheart. do you remember anything? no, i just thought i... just thought i talked to you about something, but it really doesn't matter. was it about something important? -oh, no. no, it's... try not to worry, norman. you can't help it. you know, it isn't anything you've done wrong. -you understand? it's okay. i am here for you. and will always be here for you. yeah. -(norma louise) norman, dinner's ready! norman? coming, mother! yeah, gunner, what is it? dude, the weirdest thing just happened. -i was screwing with the timer and the thing fell off and this flash drive fell out. yeah? well, i didn't have anything better to do, with the rain and all, so i started messing with it. anyway, i got it open. you what? -i opened it with my laptop. how the hell did you do that? dude, i used to download movies illegally and sell them. i know my way around encrypted shit. it took me a while, but i figured it out. -what is it? what's on it? what? um... i found out what was in the flash drive. -you opened it? yeah. that's amazing. what is it? uh, it's a financial ledger of some kind, splitting up an investment return of 15 million dollars. -i'm pretty sure it's illegal revenue from the drug trade. i mean, that's the only thing that would make sense. it would put half the rich people in this town in prison. that might not be such a bad thing. are... -are you kidding? no, that's why this is so important. this is leverage. finally. i could make some demands... -no, no. i... i... i'm gonna tell romero, okay? this... -i don't want anything to happen to you. this... this is too big. dylan. you don't understand what it means to me to have a family finally. -you can't do this, norma. you've got to tell romero. clay, get out of the car. clay, get out. i just want to talk about lindsay davis. -come on, get out of the car. come on, clay. get out of the car, clay! can i trust you? i mean, like, really trust you. -you know, sometimes you're alex, sometimes you're a cop. i don't know, norma. i think you can. i'll do my best. okay. -i have it. get in here. all right, give it to me. it's not on me. i'm not gonna walk around with it in my pocket. -i'm not stupid. it's a business ledger. returns on some kind of investment. 15 million dollars. all the names on it are big, influential people in this town, including bob paris. -we need to go get it. you need to give it to me right away. no, no, no, no, no. no, no, no. no, that's not why i'm here. -this is the first time since i've moved to this crummy town that i have anyone by the short hairs. i'm getting something out of it. have you lost your mind? maybe. it's irrelevant. -listen to me, i want you to take me to see bob paris. i'm gonna tell him i have it, and i'm gonna ask for some favors in return. why you looking at me like that? i've had a good education in this crappy town. -and i'm ready to play ball with the big boys. play ball... but they'll kill you. they can't. i have the flash drive. -i'm the only one who knows where it is. and the two dead girls... they get no justice? the dead girl gave it to me. she wanted me to do this. -she gave it to me before she died. this is gonna bring those poor girls back to life... norma, think of what people in this town have done to you. you don't think i know what they've done to me? you're not gonna extort them. -they raped me! they put a dead man's body in my bed. they kidnapped my child and they put him in a box in the ground. what else are they gonna do to me, kill me? i'm not going down without a fight, and no one's gonna stop me. -not you, not bob paris, not all of the scumbag criminals in white pine bay. you know what? if i was a man, one of these douche bags who lives here, you would say that it's totally doable. you're just saying it's a bad idea because you think i can't handle it because i'm a woman. because i'm a mother. -i can. i have seen how it's done. and i will handle it without you if i have to. damn it! damn it! -okay. okay, i'll do it. i'll go with you. oh... you will? -yeah, i said i'll go, and i'll go. mr. paris can see you now. bob, this is norma bates. can i get you guys anything? coffee, perrier, something stronger? -um, no, thanks. i... i'm good. no, thanks. thank you for coming. -sure. um... so, uh, i'm here because i think i may have something that you want back. um, a flash drive? um... so here's what i was thinking, and you tell me what you think about it. this bypass that's being built... -it's gonna destroy my business. i've tried so hard to fight it, but there's just... there was nothing i could do. you know, i... i have no power here. -i tried, i really did... but i don't. norma, maybe just cut to the point. well, it's kind of all the point. anyway, um, this business of mine is very important to me. -it is all that i have to support me and my son, who has some, uh, medical issues. and, you know, i'm kind of in a desperate position here, you see? so i was thinking, since i have this thing that you want back, that maybe i could ask you for something in return? so, um, -i want you to create an exit off the bypass. one that would lead to a two-lane highway that would then easily connect to main street near my motel, and, um, i would like a large billboard just before that exit on both the north and south side of the bypass. and, um, i would like approval on any design. and i want a pool. doesn't have to be anything fancy, say, 20 by 40 feet with a jacuzzi, and, of course, a fence so that it's safe. -so how do i know you actually have the flash drive, that you've opened it? there are a lot of important people in this town who have invested in the drug trade. i've seen the names. i see. and when do i get it back? -well, maybe not ever, actually. and it... it won't do you any good to threaten me or hurt me. not that i'm saying that you would do something like that, but let's just say, um, i suddenly go missing or my brakes suddenly go out, i will make sure there is one person... someone you do not know... -who knows where that flash drive is, and i will make sure that as soon as anything happens to me, it gets turned over to the fbi. hmm. so i give you all of these things and you give me nothing? and then because you still have the flash drive, you could come back later and ask for more stuff. no, i'm telling you i won't. -i'm making a deal with you, okay? and i'll honor it, if you do. so no more asks? no, none. ever. -i have to hand it to you, norma bates... you got me. well done, norma. we have a deal. i just wanted to let you know that, uh, -i'm gonna talk to norma when she gets home about caleb being up at my place. i'm gonna ask her if she would possibly consider talking to him. i don't know what's gonna happen. it might not be pretty. so if you want to clear out until it's over, i understand. -dylan... none of this is your fault. i'll go with you to talk to her if you want me to. i'll try and help if i can. can't ask you to do that. -i mean, if i get thrown out of the house, that's on me, but i can't drag you into it. no, i feel like this is partly my fault. there's something wrong with me. i wanted to destroy you because you were getting close to her, and i don't want to be that person. i hate that person. -i'm a man now. not her little boy. and i want to be a good man. and i trust your judgment, if you think this is the right thing to do. thank you. -yeah, you're my, uh, brother. you know, i want to be there for you. we're... we're a family. we love each other. -and we'll work through it. we'll help her work through it. hey, i'm home! i got a chicken. i'm gonna make a pie. -what's up with you two?

"cautiously optimistic" is the report. what about your boss? i don't even know how to write this thing up. where to begin. -well, like anything, i guess. you know, start at the start and work your way to the end. okay, then. you're gonna be okay. i'm gonna take peggy blumquist back to minnesota. -anyone's got a problem with that... well, after the week i've had, they can keep it to themselves. mmm. morning. is lou back? -no. so... is it... do you feel it? feel what? -my aunt lost her bosom to cancer. said it felt like somebody took a hot poker and put it through her heart. no. not like that. not yet. -you know how sometimes you get a peach from the bowl and one side is ripe and yellow, and the other is black and moldy? that's the only way i can think to describe it. camus says knowing we're gonna die makes life absurd. well, i don't know who that is, but i'm guessing he doesn't have a six-year-old girl. he's french. -i don't care if he's from mars. nobody with any sense would say something that foolish. we're put on this earth to do a job, and each of us gets the time we get to do it. and when this life is over and you stand in front of the lord... well, you try telling him it was all some frenchman's joke. -do you think... is there any chance i could be tried federal? why? i thought, well, maybe i could serve my time in california. there was this news report on the tv about how there's this penitentiary just north of san francisco that looks out on the bay? -doesn't that sound nice? maybe see a pelican. we'll see what we can do. i was there at the end, you know. after the war, when saigon fell. -on the uss kirk, patrolling the coast. and when the country went, it went fast. and we had, like, you know, 24 hours to get everybody out. but not just americans, but our allies, the south vietnamese. all packed onto boats and helicopters. -we stood on the deck and waved them in. one by one, they'd land, unload, and then we'd push the whirlybirds into the sea. damnedest thing. but then this chinook comes, and those things... well, you just can't land one on a ship this size. -so we wave him off. but the pilot's got his whole family inside, and he's running out of fuel, so it's now or never. so he hovers over the deck. people start jumping, scared or not, onto the ship. there was a baby. -literally, a tiny baby. and the mother just... just drops him. and one of my boys... like catching a ball... -he just sticks out his hands... so, now, everybody's out, and i'm thinking how the heck is this pilot, right, how's he gonna get out? but he maneuvers off the port bow and he hovers there for the longest time doing, you know, what we learn later, uh, taking off his flight suit. and somehow he rolls the bird on its side, and just before it hits the water, he jumps. six thousand pounds, angry helicopter parts flying all around him. -and somehow he makes it. how'd he do that? what are you saying? your husband. he said he was gonna protect his family no matter what, and i acted like i didn't understand, -but i do. it's the rock we all push, men. we call it our burden, but... it's really our privilege. i never meant for any of this to happen. -you know? not to ed. not to anybody. i just wanted to be someone. well, you're somebody now. -no. see, i wanted to choose. be my own me. not be defined by someone else's expectations... -and then that guy... that stupid guy! walked out into the... why did he have to do that? you mean the victim? -no. that's not fair. 'cause i'm a victim, too. was a victim first. before him. -victim of what? well, it's... you wouldn't understand, you're a man. it's a lie, okay? that you can do it all. -be a wife, and a mother, and this self-made career woman... like there's 37 hours in a day. and then, when you can't, they say it's you. you're faulty. like... -like... like you are inferior somehow. and then, like, if you could just get your act together until you're half-mad with... people are dead, peggy. stay put. -solverson residence. oh, thank god. who is this? noreen? is that you, mr. solverson? -yeah. we've been trying to... i mean, all night we've been calling, and the operator didn't know where you were... what happened? well, it's... -she's fine... just had a... well, she fell, is all. something about the pills they gave her. what do you mean, she fell? -where's molly? she's here. at home. we all are. your missus is sleeping and the girl right there with her. -she's stubborn all right, your daughter. your wife says she gets that from you. but the doctor... he says your missus is fine. just needs rest and then to come in next week for some more tests. -she's sleeping currently. i told her i'd sit up with molly until you got home. okay, well, uh, i got a suspect in custody. on my way back from sioux falls, so, uh... -tell betsy i'll be home soon as i can. okeydoke. and, noreen? thank you. you betcha. -and so, great empires fall and are forgotten. you're thinking, why tripoli? well, tripoli, not to be confused with levantine tripoli in the country of lebanon, was founded in libya in the seventh century by the phoenicians. then was conquered by the romans. and then by the spanish and then by the turks. -you see where i'm going. i need a face man. his details are inside. i'm assuming you want more than just a skin peel. something structural... -a whole new man. like the phoenix, rising from the ashes. what'll you do then, i wonder. join a new empire? maybe start one of my own. -so that it, too, may one day collapse and fall into the sea. do i take it you'll try to get revenge on kansas city? apprehend those responsible? 'cause you can bet kansas city will be heavily guarded. not apprehend. -dead. don't care "heavily guarded." don't care "into the sea." kill and be killed. head in a bag. -drop 'em down. put 'em down. dummy! look, you did good. i had my doubts, but, uh, you really brought this thing home. -i had a few breaks. don't do that. take praise and turn it into something else. you're right. i'm sorry. -and don't apologize. you still got a few rungs left to climb. you're not gonna get there saying you're sorry. got it. thank you, sir. -i did. i worked hard night and day to get this done, i don't mind telling you. which is why i was thinking, for this setup in fargo, i'd like to handpick a few men... -no, no, no. that's the day-to-day stuff. we got a team for that. asset managers, mid-level and below. drones, really. -they've already been deployed. the real oversight of the new northern territories... well, that happens right here, in this building. which is where you want me. assuming you don't wanna be a grunt your entire life. -no. of course not. good. then pay attention. it's 9:00 to 5:00 mostly, but management rewards initiative, so, nights, weekends, whatever gets the job done. -you'll be working closely with the, uh, accounting department, looking for ways to optimize revenue. shorter shipping routes, less palms to grease, that kind of thing. the accounting department. yeah, and this whole, uh, western thing. that's gotta go. -get something gray or pinstriped with a white shirt, a real tie. and cut your hair, okay? the '70s are over, for christ's sake. see, i thought, well... in the old days, when a guy conquered a place... -you want the old days? go work in a coal mine. this is the future. look, you and i got off on the wrong foot, but you seem like a good kid, so let me give you a tip. the sooner you realize there's only one business left in the world... -the money business, just ones and zeros, the better off you're gonna be. sir, believe me, i'm an earner. yeah, yeah, but listen to me, i'm not talking about busting heads for collections. i'm talking about profit and loss... -infrastructure. see, last year, donahue in the western branch... he rejiggered the mail room, ended up saving a million a quarter in postage. now, management was so impressed they gave him california. the mail room? -yeah. why didn't i think of that, right? uh, anyway, settle in. dale from hr's gonna come by with a few forms for you to fill out, health insurance, 401 k... and then, uh, get to work. -quarterly projections and revenue statements are due on the 13th. we're expecting big things from you. oh, uh... you play golf? golf? -it's a great game. you should learn. that's where all the deals are being done these days. look who i found. poppa! -ow! careful, careful now. give your poppa some room. no, no. okay. -this is just the medicine i need. well, you okay then? you need to lie down? nah. no. -no? i'll take a beer though, if you got one. lou? hell, yes. i mean, "heck." heck. -i think we earned one or 10. hey, sheriff. noreen. heard you're, uh, running the place now. oh... -it's mostly just babysitting and laundry. she's been a real lifesaver. come on, squirt. let's get your party dress on. see you in the funny papers. -well... more pie, dad? not unless you want me to burst my stitches. so... you gonna put that in your report then? -what? gunfight interrupted by a spacecraft? yeah, maybe leave that subtext. and this hanzee fella? uh... -made the fbi's most wanted. first one of those i worked, but so far, nothing. probably fled the border to winnipeg or points north. yeah. he'll show up again, i'm sure... -like it or not. you okay, hon? yeah, sure. it's just a cramp. we're a sad bunch, huh? -next thing, lou will be grouching about his sciatica. yeah. well, we're sitting here together. that's what matters. a man once said, -"you'll know the angels when they come, "'cause they'll have the faces of your children." anyway. um... just happy to see you is all, bet. -so, dad, i fed your cats while you were in the hospital. and they're grateful, i'm sure. yeah. and when i went over there the first time... i went in your office. -ah... so, uh... well, okay. so... after your mother died, i got to feeling pretty low. -we all did. and i took... well, you remember, i took some time off. and i started thinking... which i know is dangerous... -but, you know, the things i've seen... in the war, and at home, on the job... so much senselessness. violence, you know? and i got to thinking about... -about miscommunication. like how, isn't that the root of it? conflict, war... doesn't it all come down to language? right? -the words we say and the words we hear, which aren't always the same thing. so, i thought, you know, what if there was one language? a universal language of symbols, 'cause pictures, to my mind, are clearer than words. so, that's what that is? in your office. -you're making your own language. well, it sounds crazy when you say it out loud, i know. but... you know, when we see a box with a roof on it, well, everyone knows that means home. you know, and my six-year-old granddaughter, she draws a heart. -it means love. no question. anyway. that's where i started, you know, with simple ideas, and the more i worked on it, the more it became all i could think about. -you're a good man. well, i don't know about that, but i like to think i got good intentions. what do you say tomorrow we go fishing? okay. get some sleep, you. -good night, mr. solverson. good night, mrs. solverson. and all the ships at sea. lou: this is a true story. -the events depicted took place in minnesota, north and south dakota in 1979. at the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. out of respect for the dead... noreen: -feeling better, then?

"cautiously optimistic" is the report. what about your boss? ah. you know, i don't-- i don't even know... how to write this thing up... -where to begin. well, like anything, i guess, you know? just start at the start and work your way to the end. okay, then. yeah. -you're gonna be okay. i'm gonna take peggy blumquist back to minnesota. if anyone's got a problem with that, after the week i've had, they can keep it to themselves. mm. noreen: -mornin'. is lou back? no. s-so... is it...? do you feel it? -feel what? my aunt lost her bosom to cancer. said it felt like somebody took a hot poker and put it through her heart. no. not like that. -not yet. you know how sometimes you get a peach from the bowl and one side is ripe and yellow and the other is black and moldy? that-- that's the only way i can think to describe it. camus says knowing' we're gonna die makes life absurd. well, i don't know who that is. -but i'm guessing he doesn't have a 6-year-old girl. he's french. ugh, i don't care if he's from mars. nobody with any sense would say something that foolish. we're put on this earth to do a job. -and each of us gets the time we get to do it. and when this life is over and you stand in front of the lord... well, you try tellin' him it was all some frenchman's joke. do ya think... is there any chance i could be tried federal? -why? i thought-- well, maybe i could serve my time in california. there was this news report on the tv about how there's this penitentiary just north of san francisco that looks out on the bay. doesn't that sound nice? maybe see a pelican. -we'll see what we can do. i was there at the end, you know? after the war, when saigon fell, on the uss kirk patrolling the coast. and when the country went, it went fast. and we had, like, you know, 24 hours to get everybody out. -and not just americans, but... our allies, the south vietnamese, all packed onto boats and helicopters. we stood on the deck and waved them in. and one by one, they'd land, unload, and then we'd push the whirlybirds into the sea. the damndest thing. but then, this chinook comes. -and those things-- you can't just land one on a ship this size. so we wave them off. but the pilot's got his whole family inside, and he's running out of fuel, so it's now or never. so he hovers over the deck. people start... jumping-- scared or not-- onto the ship. -there's a baby-- literally a-a tiny baby-- and the mother just-- just drops him. and one of my boys... like catching a ball, just sticks out his hands. so, now everybody's out, and i'm thinking, "how the heck is this pilot"-- right? - -"how's he gonna get out?" but he maneuvers off the port bow, and he hovers there for the longest time doing, you know, what we learned later-- uh, takin' off his flight suit. and somehow he rolls the bird on its side, and just before it hits the water, he jumps. 6,000 pounds of angry helicopter parts flying' all around him. and somehow he makes it. -how'd he do that? i-- what are you sayin'? your husband, he said he was gonna protect his family no matter what. and i acted like i didn't understand, but... -i do. it's the rock we all push-- men. we call it our burden, but it's really our privilege. i never meant for any of this to happen. you know? -not to ed. not to anybody. i just wanted to be someone. well, you're somebody now. no, see? -i wanted to choose, be my own me, not be defined by someone else's expec-- why'd he have to do that? you mean the victim? no. that's not fair. -'cause i'm a victim, too. was a victim first, before him. victim of what? it's... you wouldn't understand. -you're a man. it's a lie, okay-- that you can do it all-- be a wife and a mother and this self-made career woman, like there's 37 hours in a day. and then, when you can't, they say it's you. "you're faulty," like-- like-- like you're inferior somehow. and... -like-- like, if you could just get your act together until you're half mad with-- people are dead, peggy. you do henri good. he's less grouchy. -really? yes. good. i'm some use for once. are we made to be of use? -who can say? when you find your place, your thing, you must feel better. maybe. it's like how some people can make you feel good or bad... do you know anyone like that? -of course i do. certain clients stress me. does anyone make you feel good? that's less frequent. i can't think of anyone right now. -i find your presence very soothing, for instance. you do? i didn't know i could have that effect... you can. and another thing... -you seem familiar. i do? it's not just you, that's an example. still the same example... we don't have many people in common. -indeed. so you find me familiar and reassuring? how do you find me? i don't find you that reassuring. but friendly. -only friendly? yes. why? you'll catch cold in that shirt. you could have dressed. -it's sunday. the day for your sunday best. you're so square. it's the lord's day for valérie. make an effort. -god isn't against dressing gowns. not in the bible. for pity's sake... i'm not good like this? you are. -you'd be sexier in a nice shirt. really? you made the ravioli yourself? no, they're from a can. but i used comte cheese instead of gruyere. -a fine exploit. we're full of admiration. the cohabitation is going well? we had a clash at first when i touched the piano. but it's all ok now. -let her play. you had it tuned last year. stay out of it. it's ok, i don't play anymore. you loved hearing mum play. -enough of old memories. so sell the piano. be logical. when'll you stop organizing my life? when you stop meddling in mine! -one point each. keep your nose out! don't talk to her like that. i speak how i want here! won't you play for us? -it's not a good idea. it is. play us something, constance. at a push, i prefer that to another sunday row. -i remember a bach adagio. but it was long ago. he doesn't like bach? or classical music in general? no, honey, it made him think of mum. -i'm sorry. it's not your fault. we'll be going. and the crumble? we haven't had my crumble. -i'm not hungry, honey. sunday lunch without dessert is a bit sad. i like to end on a sweet note. take it with you. have some with tea. -no, we'll leave it. i made it for you. eat it and give me the dish next time. washed if possible. of course. -i loved your pasta, constance dear. may i call you that? yes... literature, languages and social sciences piponnier, constance: -failed hello! how are you today? the sun's shining. it's lovely! -maybe. it's early. i have my first-aid class, so i stopped off to pick up my crumble dish. all right. i haven't had time to wash it. -i was kidding. it's clean. you're a real joker. i love humour. especially when it's funny. -it's better when it's funny. constance? sit down. henri! quick! -constance is feeling bad! what's wrong? i don't feel well. i'm going to be sick. she's throwing up... -she's throwing up... not in my crumble dish! it looks a bit like your crumble. don't ever drink alcohol again. got that? -nothing ever works. my life sucks. don't say that, constance dear. i redid my first year. now the second? -i can't go back to orléans. that wouldn't be so bad. it'd be a disaster. i panic at every exam. my life will be a failure. -i'm a piece of shit. maybe, constance dear, but it's too soon to say. right, henri? she's realistic. that's a good thing. -it's a matter of guidance. she hasn't found her place yet. think accountancy was my place? you did well, didn't you? i did well, yes, but it was torture. -you hated your job? like most people. i don't want that. so what do you want to do? what do you like in life? -loads of things. but my dad says all i can do is loaf about. that's not a job. and the piano? why did you give up? -they put me off it. a teacher at the local academy. mr leguélec, an asshole. before him, i loved to play. i even won prizes. -take it up again. i'm too old now. not at all. it's never too late. just take the time. -there's an african proverb that says, "slowly curves the banana." shall i play bach or chopin? no bach, no chopin... and no schubert either. -your wife played all my favourites. i forbid you to talk about my wife, ok? how about this? don't know it. i wrote it myself. -there you go. play your own stuff and it'll be fine. it's pretty too. lovely. i think that's the first compliment you've ever paid me. -you just need to earn it. excuse me... what happened to his wife? she died. 30 years ago. -it's time he moved on. he's been alone since? all alone. how did she die? she fell from the window while cleaning it. -from the third floor, that's fatal. think it's funny? it's a dumb way to die. she's dead all the same. he blamed himself. -he'd always refused to hire a cleaner. paul likes you a lot in any case. don't you? your husband's very nice. how about you? -got a boyfriend? not right now. a pretty girl like you? and more mature men, do they ever attract you? what do you mean by that? -i don't know. i thought maybe you liked paul. no, not at all. really, i swear. good then. -goodbye, constance dear. goodbye. what is it? can i have a word? what do you want? -it's about valérie. i think she loves your son. she's touching. she's scared of losing him. of course she is! -she's been living off him for years. she gives him dumb ideas too. such as? none of your business! your problems aren't mine! -if you let me down, you're out. i'm sorry. i can't do it. you have until monday to pack your bags and vanish. the ad was just posted. -yes, but i already let it. it's crazy, everything's let. i can't do anything for you. it matched my budget. what do i do? -i don't know. keep looking. goodbye. goodbye. mum! -sweetheart! i've missed you so much. you too, mum. come in. constance, wait a second! -you've taken my room? we're just redecorating. we'll put your things back like before. we'll use it as an office when you're away... i get it. -it's still your room, sweetheart. what if i want to sleep here? there's the living room couch. hi there! did you win? -no, we lost 7-0. well? how's our parisian? honouring us with a visit? don't worry, i won't stay long. -stop it, i'm kidding. tell me... your university exam results, weren't they due last week? yes. you failed again? i knew it. -no, dad. i was waiting for everyone to celebrate. you passed? anne... what? -she passed. i don't believe it! i'm so proud of you, sweetheart. i'm so happy. thanks. -bravo. that's wonderful. got anything on ice to celebrate? i'll fetch some champagne. good evening. -are your bags packed? i'll do what you asked. glad to hear it. paul's coming on wednesday after swimming. i'll pretend to be late and... you can turn on the charm. -tell me a bit about him. he's a big soccer fan. he supports bordeaux. and he loves "knulp". a novel by hesse that i gave him when he was 20. -he's never got over it. well? a letter from the bank. and a few flyers. maybe there's something interesting among them. -a plumber... pizza, sushi... london school of music... what is it? it's a school in london that teaches musical writing, composition... -why put flyers in paris mailboxes? that could be a good idea for you. for me? you can see me composing music? why not? -that tune you played was very pretty. they'd never want me anyway. how do you know? i know. no use dreaming. -besides, i'd need a recommendation. know what's stopping you, constance? you believe you're not up to it. my dad says everything i play is nothing to write home about. he's a jerk. -are you crazy? how dare you? surely i can say what i think? our opinions differ. so that makes him a jerk? -yes. they differ hugely. paul? you're here? me? -i swim every wednesday. that explains your muscles. you think so? they're pretty discreet. i didn't think they showed. -they do. really? i'm getting out. all right. wait! -want a lift home? it's ok, i'll take the metro. i have to see my father. in that case, why not? ok. -15 minutes left with lyons still being held back by benfica... lyons can't win a single game. you like soccer? i love it. no... -i prefer bordeaux to lyons. seriously? my dad's from bordeaux. he took me to games. ok. -our only real moments together. i went to be with him but then i began to enjoy it. and you? psg? no, bordeaux too. -you're kidding me! not at all. you're from bordeaux? no, but i like the team. i don't know why. -that's so funny! yes, it is funny. bordeaux has sold too many players. they sell and never buy anyone! it gets me so mad! -it's no way to make a winning team! absolutely! it's true. dad? he's not here? -he'll be back soon. i'd like to show you something. really? i must be dreaming. i'm afraid it's not very feminine. -i don't agree. "knulp"! i love it. you know it? yes, very well. -remember that touching bit at the end... when knulp speaks to god, it's sublime, isn't it? yes, it's beautiful. and the "demian" preface... do you remember this bit? -"each man is the trace of a pathway. we can understand each other." "but explain no one apart from ourselves." you know it. i love it. -you recite it well. i do? thank you. when i said you seemed familiar... i said that because it's as if we've lived the same things. -it's not easy with my father. he doesn't try to understand me. i get the impression it's like that between you and henri. it's tough. you sensed that? -am i wrong? not at all. imagine, a father like him... you should be firmer with him. it's not easy. -he'll still love you. he loves you a lot. it's not obvious. it is. when he tells you not to catch cold, -i see that as his way of saying, "i love you." perhaps. you're so mature, constance. that's why i don't get on with boys my age. men only become interesting after they turn 40. -you're saying that to be nice. no, you trouble me. you don't like me? no... yes... very much. -it's impossible. i'm way too old for you. screw how old you are, convention, what's done and what isn't. you're mad! what exactly are you thinking? -you're handsome. handsome? no... endearing, funny, friendly... but handsome? -you're going? it's wiser. not waiting for henri? i'll call him. wait! -here's my number. i'd rather not take it. sorry. too bad for me. i had a nice evening. -so did i, constance. tell my father that i stopped by, that i waited and... that he can go to hell? exactly. do you mind? -you should tell him yourself. you're not wrong. i'll take it but i won't call you. tell me what happened. my hearing aid died. -i didn't hear a word. i disgust myself. spare me your qualms. sorry, but it's true. how can i look at myself? -don't bother trying. he really loves his wife. that airhead wants him to sell the firm. and he listens! that's all? -a firm doing well that i built up over 50 years! he'll probably call to fix a date. i can't do it. there's no need. keep teasing him. -if he gets too forward, say, "stop! not before we marry." valérie told him that. so he waited. are you kidding? -not at all. thank you! i can tell you now... i'm going to cycle around the world. south america, new zealand, africa... -that's so cool! i was going alone, but it'd be better with someone else. would you be into that? i really want to stay in paris. even if we get a tandem and i do the pedalling? -come and dance! i'll be going. already? see you. thanks, that's so kind, simon. -i have to be going. just slam the door. and... i'll call you. you boat my yacht. -paul. he hasn't called all week. i don't dare call him. forget him, babe. you know, djs... -he's not just a dj, he's a real musician. it was totally wild between us. i'll introduce you tonight. no thanks. we're closed. -i'm here for constance. hi. you got my text? yes, i got it. by the way, the expression is "? -oat my boat". ok. i didn't reply... i understand. a married guy with a young woman is tricky. -i told valérie i needed some time. i promised nothing. you don't need to. i'm not a marriage-breaker. i'll take all the blame, just relax. -i'm not at all relaxed. i'll buy you dinner. let's relax together. i'm going outwith mathieu and his friends. are you ready? -give me five more minutes. going to a disco? a disco? a club, yeah. yes, of course. -where exactly? way across the city. i can drive you there. you prefer an hour-long metro ride? my round. -you like champagne? you bet! are you sure? yeah! cool! -thank you! isn't there some mistake here? no, two magnums at 1,500, that makes 3,000. i'm sorry. that was a really crap evening. -no. why do you say that? what's wrong? i'm sick of it. my life's a mess. -there are moments like that, but they never last. you're wonderful, constance. you don't know. you don't know me. true, i don't. -but i see things. i see you trying to break free from your family, fighting, doing your best. it'll pay off one day. you think so? it's obvious. -you'll succeed, i can tell. i'm touched to hear that. it's not a good idea. i really like you, constance. this is too rushed. -i understand. i'll call you. let's meet again soon. all right. life begins anew, just like that -one more time and we begin a brand-new story and we begin a brand-new story -it's a brand-new story but that's a whole other story hello. hi there. the car keys, please. -to go where? i just need the car. ok. i nearly called a taxi. do i get the keys? -here. let me explain. the office party ran over. i went with the others. i didn't see the time. -i texted you. i tried calling you 15 times! the club was in a basement, no coverage. you were at a disco? they're not "discos" anymore, but clubs. -out all night and you correct my vocabulary? no, not at all. honey... forgive me. who were you with? -just colleagues. i called nicole at 2 am. she said the party ended at 9:30 and everyone went home. that's the official version. can you imagine nicole in a club? -whose is this? nicole's maybe? no, it's jérôme's. rubbish! you disgust me! -i've been thinking about you all w-end thank you. hi, constance, your voice-mail again... we said we'd see each other. it's two days since we spoke. -i don't understand. i called that london music school. just out of curiosity. it's too late to get in this year, but there's an entrance exam next june. that's ages away. -what'll i do all year? prepare for the exam. i need a recommendation to apply. where's this from? i did a quick trip to orléans. -you got leguélec to write this? i said i was a retired tax inspector with a few colleagues who were still working. it scared him for some reason. thank you. i don't know what to say. -so say nothing. a beer and a tomato juice. got it. there's someone to see you. can i buy you a drink? -it's my treat today. flight, hotel... we're having three days in venice. that's not possible, paul. sorry. -forget what happened. but why? a connection this strong only happens once in a lifetime. you're getting carried away. you bet! -good job too. if i didn't, i'd already be dead. and valérie? she's at her sister's. i'm free. -i'm not anymore. i've met someone. you have? but when? last weekend. -a guy my age. i thought you weren't into guys your age. i'm sorry, paul. it's probably better this way. can i get you something? -no, thanks. jérôme would like to see you at the courthouse. he wants me to go there? it's urgent, apparently. what's going on? -i didn't want to tell you by phone. valérie called me to ask about divorce proceedings. it's me. and? you don't get it? -valérie is pregnant. the test-tube thing worked? no, we made love normally. it's incredible! it came as such a shock... -i cried like a baby, she did too, we hugged each other... just think. we'd been trying almost ten years. planning to keep it? i'm just asking... -you never know. the situation isn't great. you're awful, dad. and you? ten days ago, you wanted constance. -now you'll be a father? ten days ago, i didn't know my wife was pregnant. i'd lost my head. you seemed happy anyhow. -i'm much happier now. you're not pleased? you're going to be a grandfather. of course i'm pleased. why do you say that? -if i'd said you had terminal cancer, you'd have looked the same. so what should i do? jump for joy? that would be a normal reaction, dad. a child, paul... -it's a lot of worries. of course, it's a wonderful concept. but look at the world we live in. listen here, dad. we'll come to lunch on sunday. -when valérie tells you, show a bit more enthusiasm and be less of a stick-in-the-mud! are you threatening me? you threaten your father? just warning you. if things don't go well sunday, you'll never hear from us or see us again. -you'll never see your grandchildren and die alone like a dog. you think that scares me? fantastic! you think so? i didn't know how you'd react -a baby, that's wonderful. valérie must be so happy. she's radiant, yes. it's much better this way. i have to confess something, constance. -paradoxically, i think this baby came along thanks to you. wm at? when we met at the pool, and i left my father's in a hurry, i arrived home in a rather unusual state. i felt very self-assured, very important. -the doctor says she got pregnant that evening. seriously? yes. how can i thank you? thank your wife. -you're right. we should avoid each other for a few weeks. if you want. mathieu, here's to a great trip. we'll miss you. -thank you. cheers. he won't cycle to mauritius. for you. for me? -to protect your ears in the andes. it suits me? it's great. i never thought you'd go. i wasn't staying in this crap bar with ugly colleagues like you. -i'm sorry. constance... hi. the university has written. h' i understand right, you never passed that exam. -i forbid you to drink! just leave me alone, ok. have you sent your application to the music school in london? i'm not applying- wm at? -i spoke to my dad about it. it's not for me. he's right. i'll work on his stall. nothing but good news this week. -why won't your dad respect your choices? do you respect your son's? i'm saving him from his own ruin! that's what my dad says. do you know how my wife died? -yes. she was cleaning the windows. she didn't fall entirely by accident. they found over 2.5 grams of alcohol in her blood. i don't drink a lot. -she said that too, at first. hello. i wasn't sure you'd be here. i won't be staying. good. -a chocolate cake. i've gone off crumbles. so no hello kisses? no. just minor security measures. -our anti-terrorist plan. he can't have forgotten lunch. no, he wasn't going out for long. he'll be here soon. so, what's new, constance? -i'm going back to orléans. to work on my parents' stall. really? that's hard work. physically, yes. -but i like it. i'm the manual type. i have to face it. studies were never my thing. i had something important to announce but... -henri had to be here. hello. hello, henri. i'm glad to see you. i was waiting for you. -so, here i go... i shouldn't tell you so soon, but i can't wait. all right. paul and i... are expecting. congratulations, that's wonderful. -thank you. i'm glad you're pleased. yes, i'm very pleased. to tell the truth, i feared your reaction. i wasn't going to act the way constance's dad does. -how does constance's dad act? let's not talk about it now. to the baby. to the baby. to the baby. -a baby's a wonderful thing. if you don't mind, i'll go and lie down. yes, it's a lot of emotion. yes, a lot of emotion. he doesn't seem totally happy. -that's as happy as he gets. yes? have they left? yes, they didn't want to disturb you. i'll be going too. -i just wanted... to thank you for everything. and... to say that you were great with paul and valérie. you see, anything can happen. that goes for you too. too late for me. -my dad's waiting. too late? you're joking? don't wait to reach my age to do what you want. you only live once, constance. -goodbye. where are your bags? i'm not coming back to orléans. i won't work on the stall. you're joking. -i came all this way to hear that? i'm sorry. forget sorry! fetch your things and get in the van. i'm warning you. -don't bother coming home. ever. your dumb emotional blackmail won't work with me anymore. i'll do what i want. i want to play music. -even if i fail, i'll try. you can understand, right? you really are pig-headed. like father, like daughter. everything ok? -if they take me, you have to come to london. you bet i'll come. you won't get rid of me that easily. i already have butter? ies. -don't worry, you've worked non-stop for months now. it'll pay off. i'm staking my life on it. i know you'll succeed, constance. i love to hear that. -no cuddles! go on, you'll miss your bus. see you in two weeks. yes, in two weeks. don't worry, i'll stay right here. -if valérie has her baby... i'll call you. wrap up warm. don't catch cold. did you often tell your wife that? -all the time, i think. you must have really loved her. why do you say that? no reason. goodbye, henri. -goodbye, constance. you can stay as long as you want. that's really kind. when henri heard they'd taken you, he was so happy. after that and seeing his grandson, he said he could go in peace. -did he suffer? no, i don't think so. the ambulance crew revived him. antoine was born that night in the same hospital, two floors down. every morning, we took his grandson to him. -he was happy. the look in his eyes... he was proud. he ordered champagne to drink to antoine. the doctor refused. -he told him to go to hell. when he heard you'd passed, he asked for champagne again. he drove the nurse mad. one evening, he fell asleep as usual and never woke. what'll you do with this place? -a students' apartment, maybe. not while you're still here. this is your home. that's what dad wanted. i might stay a little. -i won't move to london right away. i failed the entrance exam. shit... i screwed up on the last round. i was nearly there. -i preferred to lie to henri when i heard he wasn't well. i understand. what'll you do now? try to get in again next year. i won't give up. -great! henri wrote you this letter in the hospital. in case he didn't make it, as he said. valérie and i will come on saturday. you'll meet antoine. -i can't wait! see you then. see you. my dear constance, i'm writing these lines in case we never see each other again. -the doctor tells me that's an extremely likely possibility. these doctors are useless! anyhow, this won't take long. just a few words of advice for your future life. don't walk around naked in front of others. -don't drink too much and ignore your father. i'll leave you my slippers. you always pinched them anyway. and the piano too. i'd like you to have it. -paul knows about that. i'm proud you sat that entrance exam. and that i'm a grandfather too. when you get back, you'll meet antoine and you'll see what a wonderful baby he is. but with the mother he has, check to see he has all his neurons. -you know, constance, contrary to what i always thought, life is not something you succeed or fail at. no... what matters lies elsewhere. and one last thing... don't catch cold. -subrip by dandee subtitles by ian burley subtitling: monal group mrph rmhmhm rm! harris: -attention all units in the vicinity of south park elementary. we have a code red. all officers needed at once. the school? oh, geez louise! -we need to get to the gym. half go this way, half go around the side. barbrady, you go around back. on 3. 1...2... -there she is, officers, right there. i told you to stop chatting with your friends, didn't i, leslie? you see, officers, apparently, leslie thinks that talking to her friends is more important than learning about diversity in third-world countries. -it's that one. that's her, right there. you remove her from my school. aah! nobody move! -what's happening? ! get her out of here! oh, they've got me! aah! -this town is outraged, officer barbrady. people are tired of the police not being held accountable for their actions. mayor, i didn't know if there was a gunman or a bomb... you shot an unarmed 6-year-old latino child. i'm sorry. -you are fired. no, mayor, please. this is all i know. i used to be the only policeman in this town, remember? bob, i-i used to chase away the sixth graders for you. -you're from another time, barbrady, and the last thing that needs to go. your gun and your badge. and your sunglasses. no. -please. not my sunglasses. you're done, barbrady. the town doesn't want you here. where should i go? -you should have thought of that before you shot a mexican. latino american. shit. you should go away. you don't belong anywhere in a town as progressive as this one. -hey, quiet down over there. i'm trying to sleep. god damn it. you people all get out of here! what makes you in charge? -hey, beat it, man, or i'll make you my bitch! aah! yeah, we've got a bunch of drug-addict vagrants trespassing in our yard, and we need assistance. oh, is that so? -well, we'd like to come help you, but we don't want to get fired. what are you talking about? there's homeless people here, and they're scaring my kids. you need to come do something about this. -i see. and are any of these homeless people of a minority persuasion? why does that matter? oh, it matters. see, used to be we could beat up minorities, and nobody cared. -it's the reason a lot of us joined the force. hey, mitch, you want to go down and arrest some homeless people, but not be able to beat up any minorities? no, thank you. yeah, no, i think we're good. -in fact, we're thinking of maybe turning the whole department into a hula school. what do you think? god damn it! what are they doing? ! -they're not coming! but they have to! karen brought in one of their syringes, for christ's sake! well, it's just too bad. the cops won't come, -so there's nobody to scare the homeless away. hey, sweetheart. i've, uh... i've been let go from the force. i'm so sorry. -don't worry, old girl. might be a little tough to afford your medication, but i'll find a way. you know me. i like to help. i like to be needed. -you guys! oh, my god, you guys! you guys, they're gay! they're totally gay. who? -kenny and token. what? kenny and token, dude. they're so gay. butters told me. -you're lying. no, dude. in those old, abandoned buildings around kenny's house, kenny and token turned it into a big ninja clubhouse, and they dress up and play ninja in it, trying to scare people away. -how is that gay? it's the gayest thing ever, dude! dude, come on! we got to go see this! over this way! -wah! wah, wah! hoo-ah, wah, wah! we will defend our ninja honor. wo-chew, wo-chew! -intruders! defend the base! hey, guys, did you come to see our ninja fortress? they're so gay, you guys. you and kenny built all this? -yeah, with clyde and david, too. you guys should come and check it out. uh, no. we're good, thanks. oh, my god, dude. -it's a sausage party. it's pretty cool, dude. people are really scared of us. yeah, i'm sure they are. hey, excuse me, man. -do you know where... aah! aahhhh! oh, my god! go, go, go! -that's pretty cool. well, the way i heard it was that the girl in the school wasn't even doing anything, just talking too loud, and someone ends up getting shot. hey! -what do you want? it's okay. i'm off-duty. just came for a nice pinot. yeah? -well, go somewhere else, copper. shitpatown is for people who care about each other. we don't take kindly to folks who impose their authority on the underprivileged. now, look, not all cops are racist, trigger-happy assholes. really? -i'll bet you don't even know what "farm-to-table" means. yeah! all right! wow. we've only had a whole foods for a month, -and already, we don't need cops. so cool. it is a great honor to see that you all want to be ninjas. joining our club is very serious. you must promise to uphold the warrior's code. -totally, dude. ninjas are sweet. together, we must strive to make our fortress super badass and keep all intruders out. to that end, let us proceed to our training. -dude, can i talk to you for a minute? listen, i don't think we should let kyle be a ninja, okay? he said ninjas were gay. he's probably gonna try to turn it around on me, but that's 'cause kyle knows i heard him. -you're talking to kyle right now. yeah, cool. it's me... butters. you're the one who said ninjas were gay. -why do you want to make this a problem? i'm... i'm just butters, man. i have problems with lots of things. hey, eric, you want to try sparring with me? -! yes i do, butters. ooh! ow! intruders! -yeah, it's right up here. we can shoot up in these abandoned buildings. aah! aah! aah. -aah! the town of south park is holding a large protest tonight outside of their police department. the townspeople say the protest is meant to begin a dialogue about the relationship between law enforcement -and the citizens they are supposed to protect. aahhhh! are your children being lured into terrorist organizations? a shocking report shows that some kids in the town of south park are swearing loyalty to a murderous regime. -yeah, we're pretty badass, and, um, this is, like, our fortress, and you can see it's pretty cool. man: and what about this way of life is attractive to you? -butters: well, it's just cool 'cause we're tough, and we fight and stuff. and we can... yeah, yeah, yeah! -and it's like we can do whatever we want, and people are scared of us. it's totally rad. then why did you say it was gay before? oh, my god! -i never said it was gay! wait, he said this was gay? that is a total lie! why would i say something homophobic about the way tweek and craig make love? he's a lying, backstabbing jew! -i'm stan. no doubt the growing number of kids swearing loyalty to isis could be problematic for the progressive town. here you go, old girl. we'll just have to make do. -ew! spare a dollar? no, i don't. i'm sorry. thank you. -god damn it. ew. mayor, i didn't bust my ass to gentrify this part of town to have it overrun with homeless people. why are they all suddenly coming here? mayor, what are you going to do about this? -my wife and i can barely eat or shop. when a town like ours has a homeless problem, it must look at the root of what's causing it. it's isis! what? -there's these troubled kids who've turned their backs on america. they've taken over sodosopa, forced all the homeless out. why would kids in our town want to be a part of that? they're just bad kids, rotten on the inside, probably with shitty parents. son, i've always tried to be a fair dad. -i-i don't want to make you angry, but why? well dad, i just r-r-really like being a part of something. i feel like it's character-building, and it's lots of fun. fun? but what do you... believe in? -what do we believe in? we believe in something greater than ourselves, and that by following our strict warrior code, we believe that our faiths and our traditions are a way to a greater path... the p-p-path of the warrior. -and as long as we stay united in honor, we can defeat all our enemies. waghgh waaaaghghhhg! wow. the fellas were right. -people are really freaked out by ninjas. okay, we've just got to be really apologetic and tell them we didn't mean it, okay? geez. this is so embarrassing. -what if they won't help us with the homeless? i'm pretty sure the police will help out if it's because isis is taking over the town. officers, there's kids in town who have joined isis. we don't know who they are, but they... what? -what's that, you say? the town is in danger, all right? we don't know what these kids are capable of. geez. i'm sorry. -we've got to work on our kaholo koloa and get the lomilomi chicken ready for the big ho'olaule'a, which leaves us, oh, not enough time to deal with isis. all right, look, there's homeless people -all over our gentrified food-and-arts district. if you don't stop these twisted kids, then... was that ice cube? tupac? oh, right. -that was you guys. sorry, but i guess you'll have to find somebody else to do all the difficult, dirty shit you don't want to do yourselves. i got to be ready for the luau. i might even kiss a dude. so, then, after you told me, we both went over to kyle and stan, where they were playing basketball, remember? -yeah. and we said kenny and token were playing ninja, and kyle said that ninjas were gay. and i said, "ninjas are gay?" but it was a question. you remember? -i thought you said it first. no, no, no, no. see, now, kyle's got everyone remembering it wrong because he doesn't want to get kicked out of the group. that's what jews do when they're caught in a lie. you cannot trust a jewish ninja, butters. -token: you guys, you guys! stan: what? actual ninjas want to talk to us. -what? kenny and i both just got the same e-mail from people overseas. whoa, dude! how'd they find out who we were? so, you are the brave children who have committed to our cause. -we have heard of what you are doing, and we are very impressed. cool. thanks, dude. what you are doing is very important, -and we would like to help you however we can. we are going to be wiring you some money. whoa! cool! this is the greatest thing ever, you guys! -uh, excuse me, could i just set the record straight on something? of course. should jews be trusted? i mean, if one of us is a jew, do you see that as being at all problematic? -extremely. yes! yes! what did i tell you guys? thank you! -randy: hey, barbrady. officer barbrady? wha... who? hey, buddy. -what do you want? how would you like to be a policeman again? i'm no good as a policeman. i'm a bumbling, old fool. that is not true. -who said that? ! look, barbrady, the fact is, the town needs you. they need me? to do what? -we need you to shoot some kids. no! shoot kids? ! i don't want to shoot kids! -these are really bad kids... terrorists. this is totally different from before. oh! are any of them minorities? a couple of them we think, yeah. -no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! look, look, look! barbrady! barbrady! we were wrong about you. -i was wrong about you. you protected this town back before anybody else ever did. you used to do it all on your own. we need you to do that again. you're the only cop this town needs, barbrady. -go shoot those kids. cartman: guys, i know this is hard for all of us, but to truly be ninjas, we must face hard facts. last night, i spoke in private with our ninja leader overseas. -we talked a long time about jews and the hebrew faith. he told me a lot i didn't know, and i was able to tell him some things he did not know. but after talking with that guy, it is abundantly clear to me that jews cannot be ninjas. -i went to kyle's house to talk to him about it, and i found this. it was then that kyle confessed to me about how he had brainwashed butters and stan into thinking i had used a homophobic slur to refer to our organization. -and he almost got away with it. that's when kyle tried to kill me. luckily, i was the faster ninja. kyle knew i would never call ninjas gay. when i take the gag off, -he's going to try and tell you that i'm lying now. do not believe him. kyle is a liar. kyle: i'm right here. -who... who's this? stan: that's clyde. and i am token. -why do i do these things, you ask? black rage. isis. oh, god. this chicken tastes like shit. -what'd you do to it? okay... okay, dad, it's not organic chicken. i'm not comfortable shopping at whole foods with all the homeless people there. -but don't worry, that's all about to change. soon we'll all have shitpatown to enjoy again. where's stan? he's playing ninjas over at kenny's house. ninjas? -that's gay. he's playing ninjas at kenny's house? yeah. you mean sodosopa? wait a minute... -scary... scary. gay. scary. gay. -randy what are you doing? scary. gay. scary. gay. -scary. gay! staaaan! cartman: oh, i get the misunderstanding now! -no, see, i told clyde that kyle said ninjas were gay, but clyde thought i was kyle, so then he was saying that i said ninjas were gay. meaning i as in kyle. kyle: -nobody ever gave a shit, you fat turd. token: all those in favor of cartman being kicked out of our ninjas club? all: hai! -no! you can't kick me out! i have to be a ninja. they hate jews. i was made for this, you guys! -please! stan: what should we do with him? freeze! oh, shit! -please! i don't want to shoot you! stan: cool. don't. -i understand you're feeling angry at this town. i'm getting pretty angry, too! but we can't give up on it. please, boys... don't make this end violently. -they're just stupid ninjas! david: aah! aaaah! what were you thinking? -boys innocently playing ninja, and you pull your gun on them? david rodriguez was lucky to live. everybody told me they were terrorists! we thought they were! but if it turns out they aren't, as a policeman, -you have to figure that out! but... you said you needed me to kill some kids! oh, he's gonna lay this on us now. i said "kill some kids," -but i said it as a question, remember? i said, "kill some kids?" i'm sorry, but we just can't cover your ass on this one. there's going to be an investigation and... you just don't have what it takes -to be a policeman in today's times. do you even know what "farm to table" means? let's go, people. you can't stay here. you are being relocated. -hey, you can't kick us out of here, man. oh, no? i'm a cop. thank you, officers. we've got a deal, right? -yes. all right, you. come on. aah! please! -you can't take me back to sodosopa! isis is there! no, those were just ninjas. ninjas? oh, that's so gay. -i told you guys. what did i tell you? but you didn't want to listen. nooo. officer barbrady? -yes? we've been watching you. and what we see is a man who truly wants to protect his town. you do? -you've been in this town longer than almost anyone. have you noticed... changes lately? yeah, a lot of changes. they aren't a coincidence, officer. they are all part of a plan -to take down your beloved town and everyone in it. what? what do you know about a little girl named... leslie? previously on cedar cove... -didn't paul tell you? he's leaving. i'm taking back my old job. i'm your daughter. i don't want to get married simple. -i don't want to get married in a circus. the trial is over. it failed. jack, eddie is my nephew. i'm worried about us. -i thought that you wanted this. engaged? yup. that was fast. mm-hmm. -it was too fast. for you or her? she's not thinking straight. she's in love. they were just broken up. -maybe they were just trying to figure out what mattered to them, and they found out it was each other. i don't want to see her get hurt. hurt? well, they're both so different. they're from two different worlds. -are you talking about you or maryellen? what? well, you and cliff are very different. yes, and look how that's been. we haven't exactly had the easiest relationship, and now we can't even decide what kind of wedding we want. -from my memory, it was easy for you to be married to dan because you had so much in common, but, ultimately, it wasn't enough. no. so, what am i supposed to do? for maryellen, have faith. for you, it doesn't matter how you get married, what matters is that you love each other. -embrace your difference. it's what makes you and cliff you and cliff. yeah. hello, ladies. hello there, mr. d.a. -i haven't received your r.s.v.p. i'm not a big wedding guy. yeah, well, you're coming. you've already got the suit. so i'll see you there. -do i get a say in the matter? no! okay, thanks for clearing that up. you tell him, gracie. sit down. -i talked to anthony. i was hoping to get to you first. so it's true. it is. i'm leaving cedar cove. -i wanted to tell you, i just didn't have the chance. i know you. there's something you're not telling me. no. i deserve an explanation. -i don't have one, other than the one i've already given you. look, i gotta get to court. um, you want to go for a run a little later? that sounds like fun. all right. -as long as you tell me why you're leaving. okay. how much push-back from the montaulk community are we talking? quite a bit. they managed to hold up development on a planned strip mall -for the last six years and counting. wow, tenacious. i am, and thank you very much. you'll also be pleased to know, dad, that i'm accepting your offer, 50-50, signatory power with alex, on behalf of the company. -how very conciliatory of you. that's the opposite of tenacious. i don't think he knows what "tenacious" means. all that private school money down the drain. what a shame. -can we just focus, please? why did you change your mind? you going to change yours nope. all right. -so, i figured we would just move forward, then, and speaking of moving forward, dad, when are you planning on going to the hamptons? i'm not. i'm sending my business partner in my stead. what are you talking about, i'm your... i'm your business partner, dad. -no, you're my associate at saget development. i'm talking about my personal business partner. and who might that be? hello. you've got to be kidding me. -you're hard to find. well, that's the idea. brad and jennifer are dropping their request for damages. we're both going to take care of our car repairs. why? -i called them and told them i changed my mind about settling, and they don't want to go through the court system. because they are lying. i know. do you? -well, i do now. otherwise, they wouldn't have dropped their charges so fast. but my word wasn't good enough for you. you had to call their bluff to believe me. i know, i'm sorry. -i let the past get in the way of the present, and i shouldn't have. okay. thanks. and you stay as long as you want to. well, with jack here, it's getting a little crowded. -but i have so much space. i need more. i'm in your way in my own house? yeah, a little. you want to re-up? -i'm not breaking up with you. deciding to re-enlist in the navy without talking to me first sounds like a break-up because it is a break-up. i was waiting for the right time to tell you. look, i've felt lost since i left the navy. i didn't know that you still felt like that. -well, i do. look, derek is great, but this isn't the kind of work that i thought i'd be doing for the rest of my life, and now that i'm doing better, i'm going to the base. i have a meeting. i can't believe that you want to leave, after everything that we have been through. i still love you. -if you really loved me, then you would have discussed this with me before doing anything. this is a really big decision. look, justine... no! you know what, now i need to be alone. -paul? ms. jennings. shouldn't you be anywhere but here? i need you to lift my suspension. and why would i do that? -because i'm the hardest-working a.d.a. you've ever had, and you need me. thank you for your concern, but i have everything under control. business as usual. now, if you'll excuse me, i have to get these files to the clerk. -if you lift my suspension, i can file them. rebecca, you didn't show up for work, you didn't call, and you missed two filings. i'm sorry. and i have no reason to believe that won't happen again. -it won't. the law is a team sport, and you're so singularly focused on your career at the expense of the work of this office. this isn't some stepping stone to your next big move. what we do here, it affects people's lives. this isn't just about your career. -i get that. i don't think that you do, and it's clear to me now that this time away hasn't adjusted your attitude at all. i don't know where to start. why didn't you tell us who you were? i didn't think you wanted to meet me. -i came here to confront you both. but you didn't. i changed my mind. you stayed. i guess i wanted to know you, even if you didn't want to know me. -but you had a fake i.d.? from some undercover work i did with the sheriff's department. you're an ex-cop, a private investigator. i'm a stranger in town. if you started getting curious, -i just didn't want you to know that i was the daughter that you gave up. it was silly, and i never used it, but it was in my wallet when rebecca found it. i want you to know that i have thought about you every single day since i gave birth to you. you're my first thought when i wake up and my last thought before i go to sleep. i thought about where you were, if you were happy, if you were loved. -i was. i know that i don't have any right to ask you this, but i hope that we can start over. i want you in my life. we want you in our lives. does linnette know... anything about me? -nothing? who died? luke wants to leave cedar cove. he wants to re-up. the navy? -yup. wow. he wants to leave, so much so, that he would go back to people trying to kill him. that's a message. no, it's not. -he enlists and plans on staying together? doubtful. i'm sure he'll come around. yeah, maybe, when he's halfway across the world. even if it's subconscious, it's still a move away from you, and to somewhere else. -look, i know you're going through some things right now, but could you maybe not try to say out loud every thought that you have about things? let's try that. so, once we get the restaurant up and running, we can plan the wedding. whatever you want. i want to elope. -really? i've been through all this with my mom, and i don't want the spectacle, i want to be your wife as soon as i can. your mother's never going to go for this. i'm a grown woman. -it's my choice and my life. okay. it's the bank... about the galley. aw, thanks. sorry. -john speaking. i'm getting married. do you really want to? mom... yes. i thought he was going to ask me a month ago, and then he didn't, and he left, and i've been miserable without him. -i love you, and i love john, but i think this just might be too big a change for the both of you. why don't you just wait, see how the restaurant does, and then you can start to make plans for the wedding? where is this coming from? i'm afraid. of what? -you being too impulsive. impulsive? honey, the two of you were pretty much broken up and now you've just committed to spending the rest of your lives together. we're in love. i just don't want to see you get hurt. -i won't. i said that. i was wrong. i'm not you and john isn't dad. i trust him. -with your heart? all of it. hey. i only have an hour for lunch. what's up? -we have something we need to tell you. you're freaking me out. it's about gloria. what did she do? it's not what she did. -it's what we did. what did you do? gloria is your sister. what? before your father and i were married, -i got pregnant, and i gave my daughter up for adoption. it's gloria. she's your sister. it's why she came to cedar cove, it's why she moved across the street from you, it's why she's been trying to get to know you. i can't be here right now. -linnette... let her go. carry on. luke, i know how much you want to be back, but after all you've been through, i have to ask why? -i want to serve my country. i miss it. you know, not the war but the brotherhood, the feeling of purpose. i mean, honestly, i still feel guilty for being here, for being alive, for not being over there with my buddies. i thought that would change, but it hasn't. -you know, you're not the only young man to come back and say these things to me. sometimes being a civilian can be a hard transition. you've had some medical issues, son. that was in the past, sir. unfortunately, what you're asking, to re-up, to go on active duty, will put you in situations that could bring on episodes. -i'm fine. even if i wanted to, there are hurdles in your way. it is difficult for a soldier with severe ptsd to re-enlist. son... in order to find a new purpose in life, you need to face whatever it is that's challenging you and make peace with it. thank you. -i suppose you're here about alex. what is it with her, dad? are you thinking she's a candidate number four for wife, is that what you're thinking? because if you are, trust me, dad, you've got to keep looking, she's not interested. alex and i have a purely professional relationship. -so, what you're telling me is you just decided to just ask a relative stranger to be your business partner? alex isn't a stranger. dad, up until recently, she was paid to play with horses. you know what your problem is? you're always thinking inside the box. -you look at alex, you see a girl. when i look at alex, i see someone who is fearless. her job was to tame horses 10 times her size, and she did it without blinking. she has proven herself to be someone i want on my team. what about me, dad? -huh? what's it going to take for me to prove that i belong on your team? you can't answer that one, now, can you? and you want to know why? because you can't see me. -all you see is that little kid who you can set aside whenever you want. but you know what, dad, i'm not that kid anymore, and i'm getting sick and tired of trying to convince you otherwise. well, before you storm out of here. i'm not storming anywhere. let's remember what brought me to cedar cove in the first place. -and what is that? i believe it was... that's right, to bail you out of trouble with the feds. gimme a break. so you can preach all you want about how i've wronged you, but your recent history doesn't exactly give you the moral high ground, now, does it? keep the change. -the advice is free. i had one outstanding brief. i came in to finish it so it wouldn't fall through the cracks. as soon as it's done, i'll be out of your hair. it's not a problem. -i'm leaving cedar cove. i'm going back to new york, and anthony is returning to his post. okay. he doesn't seem to have the same issues with you as i do, but until i officially leave, the suspension stands. why are you leaving? -did you land a bigger job? no. i didn't take a job. it's just time for me to go. in your price range, there isn't a two-bedroom house for rent within a 15-mile radius. -did you call my mom's real estate agent? i did. she said the market is tight right now. fine. i'm willing to go 20% higher, and you can start looking at one-bedroom houses -20 miles out of town. that bad, huh? between jack and olivia's new nesting arrangement, and olivia's rules, i'm... i can't take it anymore. what rules are those? -pick up this, pick up that. don't leave the milk open. and i have to start wearing pants at all times. those all sound pretty reasonable. i'm just saying. -maybe this market is a sign that it's time for me to leave cedar cove. no, i will find you something, just give me a little more time. okay, but hurry. i need my freedom back. hey, paul! -hey. you gotta send me a pic when you finish this thing. why? where are you going? i'm... -i'm going home. i thought this was your home. i did, too, for a while. so, you're leaving? yeah, it's time. -i thought you liked it here. i do. and you and peggy have been great. well, peggy has been great, but, eventually, you were great, and i'll pay you through the month. so, you don't want to tell me why you're leaving, huh? -nothing to tell. well, having nothing to tell and not wanting to tell are two very different things. i think it was easier when you didn't like me. well, easier isn't always better, it's just easier. yeah. -i got your message. let's get married. you keep saying that. yeah, but let's do it. let's get married in a nice simple ceremony, like you want. -this whole back and forth between us, it isn't worth it. i can cancel the choir, and the doves, and the venue. let's just get married with our closet friends and relatives. why? we're so different. -yes. and it's the difference that makes this whole thing work. i've been trying to drag you into my world, and it's... it's not fair. give and take? yeah. -pretty nice way to start a marriage, huh? it is. are you sure? that i want a simple wedding? no. -but i am sure that i want us to find our "us." come here. i'll take care of everything. i love you. i love you, too. -hey, handsome. hey... what are you doing still awake? i missed you, so i waited up for you. mm... it is nice to be missed. -i think grace's wedding could be a fun date night for us. honey, right now, i just can't promise anything. it's grace's wedding. i know, and i will try to be there. -try? olivia... i don't want a roommate, i want a partner. olivia, i am giving you everything that i've got, okay? i am here right now with you. -isn't that enough? no. i think we both deserve more. okay, two-bedroom on connor street. it's a tad above your budget, but, um, i think i can get them to negotiate. -it's so run-down. okay, uh... this one's nice. it's only a one-bedroom. will's only one person. what if he has a guest? -they can sleep on the couch. i don't know, will, it's kind of limiting. yeah, i think olivia is right. i think we should keep looking. okay, i'll keep digging. -between this, school, and whatever is going on with luke, i've got all the time in the world. hmm, i remember being your age... so much free time. right. i'm so glad you called. -did they tell you? that you're my sister? i am. you lied to me. i've been telling everyone that you're okay, and to give you a chance, and you've just been lying to me, to my face. -i didn't know how to say the things that i came here to say. and i thought your parents didn't want anything to do with me, but they do. i was wrong. so was i. linnette... we're family. -we're sisters. i just wanted to meet you. family doesn't lie to each other. i just called to tell you to your face, stay away from me. i want nothing to do with you. -so, you can't go back to the navy. i knew it'd be a long shot. i got a couple buddies who have tried. man, you've done your service. yeah, i know. -you don't know this about me, i used to play football in high school. quarterback. oh, yeah? yeah. -i got scouted, got a full ride, headed off to college. it was everything i'd ever dreamed of since i was five. what happened? my first season, i got hit by a 300-pound linebacker, bent my knee 90 degrees the other direction. -i spent the next year in and out of operating rooms, rehab, lost my scholarship, couldn't play anymore. so, what did you do? i buried the past where it belongs, in the past. i hooked up with a friend of my father's, and i took all that hard work and passion i had for football and i put it into this. when i started, -i was the youngest captain out here. some of the guys still give me the business. wow. it's not the navy or anything, but i know what it's like to give up on a dream, and i'm proof that you can come out the other side better. different, but better. -got it. i don't think this is as much about the navy as it is about justine. i wouldn't be able to do the infrastructure series justice. i have two other field pieces i'm working on. i don't have time for a third. -eddie reminded me that the paper has a lot of resources invested in those pieces of his. jack, you seem very passionate about it. you could handle it. i'd love to. i love the field, i love this story, -i know it'll have a national audience. so it's settled, jack will write the series? yes. great. and of course, -eddie will run the day-to-day of the paper while i'm gone. you are my second, after all. okay, what's wrong? what? i put that cookie in front of you an hour ago, and it's still there. -oh. well, paul is going back to new york. okay, i know why i'm upset, but you spent most of your time trying to get him to go. i was just watching out for jack. and now? -i like him, okay? i always liked him. it was hard to not like him, and now that everything is okay with jack and olivia, and i'm free to not-not like him, he's leaving. if he wants to leave, we can't stop him. you see... -i don't think he wants to leave. i think he likes it here. can i get some extra whipped cream? in a minute. thanks! -what did you do with rebecca? you are clearly a clone. very sweet, but not the real deal. paul is leaving. and you're taking his job? -no. not yet, anyway. but it definitely means i won't be on suspension for much longer. why is that? -because anthony is a pushover, and i'll just go back to doing whatever i want. doesn't sound like anthony's a very good boss. well, i don't need a leader. i do better when i'm in charge. whipped cream. -thanks. you're the best. don't i know it. well, paul is clearly a very good teacher. i was suspended. -how do you call that being a good teacher? because he was trying to teach you how to work well with others. i'm not in third grade. i don't need paul schooling me on how to be a lawyer. being advised can be super helpful. -i could use a little guidance myself right about now. luke hasn't called? he will. i obviously wasn't making him very happy. maybe. -maybe... it'll work out. how bad is this luke thing if you are trying to cheer me up? i need cake. stat. it's a medical term. -it's latin. short for "statim." latin for "immediately." they say latin is a dead language, but actually... you guys don't care. -i care about cake. so, are you going to tell me what's wrong? you don't want to know. i do. gloria, our neighbor? -yeah? she's my sister. perfect. let's talk later. the smith brief, and i have to warn you, it's anything but brief. -your leaving is the talk of the courthouse. well, good news travels fast. no. everyone loves you. we're all going to miss you. -thank you. why is that? why are we going to miss you? i'm fun and likable. no, i mean, why are you leaving? -i can tell you don't want to leave. i do. no, really, i can see it in your eyes. you know, and i know you. -you don't want to leave. i want you. i have to leave, because i have feelings for you that go beyond the scope of the job. okay? happy? -i'm not. you once said, uh, that love was worth fighting for, and you're right, and i know that you're right, and i would stay, but i can't blow up your world. not now that you finally have it on track. paul... you have jack, and i don't want to cause any trouble, but i can't just stand by and not do anything. -i can't pretend that i'm not falling for you. thank you. for what? for opening me up again. i wasn't even sure if my heart worked anymore. -but it does. and it... breaks... every day i can't be with you. you know what i'm going to miss most? what? i'm going to miss our friendship the most. -you're a great friend. and that's all i'll ever be. which is why i have to go. because i can't stand by and watch you be with someone else. so, did mom tell you the news? -yes, you and john are buying the galley. that's perfect. john and i are getting married. oh, honey. grace! -how could you not tell me? mom thinks it's a mistake. i just think the two of them need to slow down. john and i know what we want. i'm just saying that what's the hurry? -mom is taking a leap of faith, i don't see why she can't support me doing the same. i have a lot more experience than you have, and i don't want to see you get hurt. i'm not going to get hurt. that's how i felt when i was your age, and i did get hurt, and i married the wrong man. -now, i'm not going to stand by, watch you make a mistake, and not say something. you won't have to. what's that supposed to mean? we're eloping. -david called. he wants me to write the infrastructure series. yeah, i know. this is totally not cool. no. -you know what's "not cool"? your attitude towards me, towards the paper, towards this job, even towards journalism. you see me as competition. i see you as a privileged, over-educated kid with a whole lot of attitude, and no skill to back up that attitude. that's what i see. -look, do you want to get some skill? do you want to learn? do you want to get better? do you want my job someday? then that all begins now, right here, with you first losing that attitude, rolling up your sleeves, and getting to work at getting some real life experience. -so, you're trying to help me? you know, i was you. i was. actually, i think i was worse than you. but my first editor, he took me under his wing, and he showed me how to back up that bravado and attitude with real skill, and, you know, a funny thing happened. -the more skill i acquired, the less bravado i needed. you wouldn't be doing this if my uncle didn't own the paper. maybe not, but i am doing it. so, the question is, what are you going to do about it? so, the key is to present our case as a given so the focus is on negotiation not permission. -you know this has nothing to do with you, right, alex? he's using you to get to me. i'm good at what i do. yeah, well, i'm better, and he knows it. we're in the middle of a meeting, if you don't mind. -no, i do mind, actually, dad. i mind very much. you win. okay? i'm done. -you want control of saget, you want alex running your investments, you want to live in cedar cove? swell. but do me a favor. you do your thing, and i'll do mine. so, as i was saying, we can't let the community think that they're in control. -you know, one day, you two are going to go too far, and he's not going to come back. you'll regret it. luke wants to re-enlist. he can't. he wants to, and he didn't tell me before he went and talked to vice admiral nelson. -okay... i don't know what to do. do i push for the relationship, or do i just let him go without a fight? do you think he wants to leave? he tried to re-enlist, mom. -do you love him? i do. that's the easy part. relationships take work and commitment, but if you think he's the one, you already know what to do. the question is, is he the one? -hi i'm done hounding you. i'm just here to meet anthony. well, good luck with that. i know you'll get what you want. -i'm sorry if i was a pain. who, you? no! you, you're a joy to work with. ha-ha. -seriously, i'm sorry that i wasn't more of a willing student. i should have listened to you more, because you're really good at your job. oh. well, thank you. -you're a good attorney, ms. jennings. i just hope that someday, you'll learn to ask for help because then i'll know our time together wasn't wasted. it wasn't. wasted... -mom, can i borrow these? yes, of course. get the clutch to go with it, but hurry. why? grace wanted to get ready over here, and she and maryellen want to come downstairs. -and she doesn't want us to see her in her dress. got it. so, still no rental? really? i found you many places. -you just didn't think any of them lived up to mom's standards. will, i told you, there is no pressure to leave. hey, guys, what about my place? i mean, it's just sitting there, fully furnished, empty. jack, that is a great idea. -it's amazing. are you sure you want to rent it out? yeah, why wouldn't i? well, what if you need it? why would i need it? -i live here. true, but just what if... what if... what? you're right. it's a great idea. -it's a great idea. okay then, we've got a deal. thank you so much, jack. yeah, you bet. now i just hope grace is okay with me being justine's plus-one. -grace has enough to worry about. she is not thinking about you. and we're going to be late. really? for you. -a gift. really? mm-hmm. yeah. thanks, bob. -aw, we're going to miss you. a lot of people around here are going to miss you. do you really have to go right after the wedding? i do. let's go, huh? -i've got a bride to give away. yes, you do. thank you. all right, it's all steamed. you okay? -nervous. aw, don't be. it's just so hard. you make it hard. ever since daddy, you've built this shell around yourself, for protection. -but cliff, he broke through. trust your heart and take that leap. how did you get to be so wise? i'm your daughter. yes. -and you cannot elope. mom... no... you cannot elope, because you cannot deny me the joy of planning your wedding. i don't want a big ceremony. -i know. but i do want you there. i know. i love you. i love you, too. -aw, mama... oh, honey. moon. he was, like, smelling it. warren. -oh. dad. how'd you score your ticket? i know cliff through alex. how about you? -well, i'm crashing. or i lost my invite in the mail. one of the two. good boy. never take "no" for an answer. -that goes for us as well. you're a saget, not a quitter. my job is to push you. you know that, right? yeah, dad, i know, but, unfortunately, sometimes, you push me a little too far. -maybe. i never said i was perfect. no, i'll give you that, you're definitely not perfect. well, you keep trying to best me, one day, you will. you think? -not really. i hate you. i know. that's the sweetest i've ever seen you two be with each other. oh, my god, alex, come on, pull yourself together. -it's a wedding, not a funeral. do you want a drink? no, thank you. have a seat. honey... -let us explain. i told gloria... you talked to her? yeah. i told her family doesn't lie to family. -please forgive us. i don't think i can. hey, there. i didn't think you were coming. i felt like i needed to be here. -well, don't. don't feel like you have to be here. don't feel obligated to be here, or obligated to be with me. it's not a duty, it's a relationship. i know. -i want you to be with me because you want to be. it's not a matter of wanting to be with you, i love you. i just don't know if i can be the man that you want me to be, and the man that you deserve. hey. -hi. seems we keep running into each other, huh? we do. hi. thank you, bob. -just so we're clear, i am not giving you away, just loaning you out. cliff did it. but he didn't want anything splashy. he wanted you to be happy. -oh, i love him. well, it's a good that you're marrying him then. welcome, friends and family. we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the marriage of cliff and grace. i am overjoyed to introduce you to mr. and mrs. harting. -penny for your thoughts. paul. before i leave, and i am leaving... i have to know. do you feel the same way about me? -my mother no layoffs right to work for all! right to work for all! cut! -cut! was huggins' stand-in visible? margherita, i don't think so. he should be, we pay him. he's obviously not huggins! -he stays in the car. bruno, okay, but sometimes the framing's a bit empty. with all our extras! i'll place them differently. who's the sadist on camera 2? -sandro. why did he close-in on the blows? let's go see it. c'mon! vittorio, what are you doing? -come and see it. costumes: let's get them dried off and changed. were you on camera 2? yes, why? -don't close-in on the blows. it takes the audience into it. i don't want them into it. it's better! i don't want people to feel sick and turn away. -you like the bashing, i don't. why say that? go see it. did you like the water? water? -that effect against the light... it's really nice. sure, nice... but go see it. we do another take? yes. -well? why, do you think, sandro... loves to film in the middle of the bashing? maybe to give you more framing in editing. you don't... does he want to be the cop or the worker? -would he rather bash or get bashed? okay! the slogan: "work, work" or "right to work for all"? isn't it better to shout "shame"? "shame" is awful, "right to work" is good. -i'll hurry. i want something good for my mother, in the hospital they always feed her the same things. i don't know, how's the eggplant parmesan? maybe a little rich. right. -then a chicken breast and two rice croquettes. are they hot? i'll heat them. this is finished, we'll change it. call, if you need me. -so, how were these two clays'? yesterday i did very little shooting, just close-ups. i argued a little with everyone. but today i shot a tough scene, the workers occupying the factory, with lots of extras. did it work? -are you pleased? the assistant director said it did. what made you think of a film about people losing theirjobs! mom, it's not a sad film, it's full of energy, hope. it is? -yes! good. really! i believe it. no, you don't! -sure, i do. good. they're all too intelligent here, it takes someone a little dumber to lift morale. who do you mean, mom? everyone, they always say: -"you must do this... no, you mustn't do that!" that's how it is in hospitals. i look awful today. i don't think so, do you? -no, the opposite. so, pasta with tomato and basil, but today it's macaroni. the noodles were a little gluey the last time. and a sea bass. the bones? -i've filleted it all. i've filleted it all. the sauce is still hot, please check it. parmesan. are those pastries? -no, those... hospital things? yes. just a little parmesan. there! -let's go. good, well done! these are yours too. we know how things are. we've already decided. -no, you've decided! why not when the film's done? that's exactly why our situation needs clarity. can we have dinners together? i don't know. -you'd like that too! just sometimes, what's it cost you? vittorio, don't you have the slightest dignity? hi, mom! hi. -they say this film's really good. hi, giovanni. margherita, do something new, different, break at least one of your patterns. one out of two hundred! can't you let yourself go sometimes, lighten up a little? -q." m"! you don't know how you hurt the ones you love. then they get boring and you sweep them from your life. that's not true! margherita, you're always defensive, you just see the bad side, you make me feel ridiculous for wanting to be with you. -why treat me like this? giorgio, we've already broken up. stop it! don't you have the slightest... it's me, you know, don't you? -of course i do. mom, has something happened? no, livia, no, but we never manage to talk. how's grandma? pretty well, she can't wait to go home, but the doctors say she has to stay. -how are you, are you having fun? you and dad don't tell me anything! do you ski? i'm coming. you're off to work? -yes. we made a deal, you were supposed to study latin. i am! no, the grammar book's here. no way! -it's right here, on the desk. the indicative mood, syntax of verbs... see? how can i recoup in a week? that's no argument. sure you can recoup, if you study! -okay, i'll study when i get back. sure, when you're back. let's hope for the best, livia! have fun, ski... a hug. enjoy the day. -go, now, gm! stop! stop! this is our work, our lives, and you just threaten layoffs, you're shameful! come talk, you're shameful! -fine, fine. wasn't huggins' stand-in too visible? i'm convinced he's too... is it in the can? not yet. -no, please, come back later, it was fine. bruno, put on... there's a problem? nothing, all okay. it's always "all okay"! -i have to be sheltered. i got to the car late. no, why say that? timing was good. just one thing. -you should agree with the dialogue, that's good, but don't believe it too much, okay? not believe it too much? stay a bit to one side, okay? tell me what's wrong! just a little hitch with the guy picking up huggins. -what little hitch? his car broke down, but we're resolving it. you're all incompetent, thirty people, thirty incompetents. i'll go. i'll go with you later, if need be. -i was shooting a scene, if you want to watch, it's okay. listen, i'd like to see the actress, understand? next to the character, i want to see the actress who plays her. who's that? who? -you! you mustn't vanish as a person, the worker has to be there but alongside, you're there too. understand? sure... the worker and you. -positions please, we're doing another. barry? hi. long. she's just tired, edgy from the test they gave her this morning, she's also worried. -i'm sure, why did she need another cat scan? it was the doctors' decision. did she eat? was she hungry? yes. -she ate the pastry i brought her. how sweet! did i tell you i couldn't come by this evening? yes. what's the actor like? -nice? how do i know? he hasn't said a word, he's sleeping. i can't tell if he knows i'm the director. what a start! -okay, talk to you tomorrow, goodnight. mom? are you sleeping? what does "some" mean? huh? -"she saw some roses". what part of speech is it? i don't know. the direct object. yes, the direct object. -but, why is there "some"? "some roses", meaning several roses. what do you say? i say i'm getting dumber staying here. barry, we're here. -a terrible dream, horrible! i'm very tired, very confused. good evening. what time is it? 10:40. -i'm hungry- eating alone is so sad. yes. let's have dinner together? it's late, i work tomorrow... -then you stay to sleep with me. what's your name? what's my name? you're laughing? it was a joke. -it was a joke! goodnight. goodnight. careful... good. okay, bye! -go to bed. heart and lungs work together, if one's not well, the other has to work more. the pneumonia, after the trauma you spoke about... she fell. the pneumonia overtired your mother's heart which was already in bad shape. -look at the electrocardiogram. her ventricle diameters are wide. what's that mean? her heart has enlarged, it's tired. unfortunately, this road leads just one way, -i'm afraid there's no turning back. the problem wasn't clear, if it's her heart, her lungs, the doctor said a lot of confused things. no, she said she didn't know when it would happen, but it could be soon. but she implied there could be improvement... margherita, -mom's dying. moustache! overhead lighting? it's not good for me. barry, you've just concluded the purchase of the factory. -for the former owners it's a painful moment, it's a defeat. they'd owned this company for three generations. i understood everything! i understand. it's not only an economic failure for them, losing the company is like losing a piece of their history. -five minutes and we're ready. you have to reassure them of the company's continuity. they have to trust you. they have to... trust. yes! -is it real? fake! it was a joke! i'd like to say i'm very proud to give new life to a label which is known throughout the world. but you workers must stop this sit-in immediately, or else i'll close the factory and you'll have no jobs. -that's another scene! cut! barry, it's just fine, you did the first part well, but the second... "workers". no, you did another scene. -another scene? it was wrong, but that's okay. come on, another take. suddenly, margherita disappeared. really, we couldn't find you! -your parents were frantic, your father kept saying: "stay calm!" but he was the most frantic of all. we looked for you on the beach, at the cafe, but there was a storm, you know when the weather changes suddenly in summer... how old was margherita? six or seven? -huh, mom? you know who's dead? giovanna called me... i don't know which giovanna, i know so many! -but she said: "i have bad news, she's dead..." she's dead... i didn't understand who. who? who? -i don't know. nice they visited you, wasn't it? yes, yes. how do you feel? sweak. -what? sweak. what's that mean? no strength. luciano and paola are so boring! -did you remember that episode luciano told us? no. not at all? they're nice, but they bore me, they always have stories about the past. but they're fond of you, they often ask about you. -yes, they're very kind. a bit boring, but, a little... yes, they're boring. yes. so we're together, the two of us. -are you tired? yes. you work too hard. he can just leave it there. no one shoots just one week. -more! three months. bring us another? no! that's not nice. -hey, peppino de filippo! doctor antonio! drink more milk, milk is good for you, you can't overdo, the virtue of milk. please take me home, you two can go for drinks, i'm sleepy! -hello! wonderful scent! hello rome! rossellini, antonioni, petri, fellini! -fellini's roma. take me to via veneto! take me to via veneto! i thought i'd seen all kubrick's films, but which one's with barry? none, he never worked with kubrick. -right, barry? we have to make another film together. we will, huh? great idea. let's think about it. -with a soul! like an old bogart, cagney film. i seem like a positive character, but i'm really a criminal. a criminal infiltrated in the police. great idea! -yes, great. original. a sequence long shot. ...in prison. in prison? -beautiful! yes, it's right for me. i know you! i know my "chick". there are various viewpoints. -i can't take this. every time it starts... all over again. here, have some. his son's name is amedeo. free, right? -how embarrassing! nice face... right? yes, nice face. what's between them? -what is it? you decide. right this minute? this film's perfect for you. i feel it, it's my film. -mom, what did you do? i just touched it. the mechanic said i've kept it wonderfully, it doesn't seem 14 years old. hadn't you stopped driving? my legs were aching today, in these cases, driving's restful. -hadn't your license expired? it hasn't. no,huh? see, it's still valid? sure, it's valid. -why do that? get out, i'll park it. come on, come... careful! some former students would like to come by tomorrow, but i said to call this evening. when they come to visit, i don't know if it makes her happy or worse. -why do you say that? well... well, what? wait a minute. today's scene and the 28th take place on the same day? -of course, barry's dressed like in the 28th. sorry, tell me. i'm afraid she'll get anxious, not understanding why, suddenly, they're all coming to visit. i don't know if mom knows about her health, or how much! this talk bothers me. -it bothers you, but unfortunately we have to deal with it. what do you say? i think it pleases her. it may tire her a little, but she likes visitors. okay, i'll have them come. -i think so. have a good day. without a fight, you've already lost go mario! hello. your mother's resting, she ate everything today. -listen... a month ago, my son ran away from home. he left a note and went, we haven't had a word since then. the nurse, francesca, asked me to help find her son, but i don't know if i can. you know who francesca is? mom? -mom? mom, is this you? oh, god! hello, i'm from elgi, a new electric company. you must have a contract with another company, but i offer you 0,09 euros per kw. -if you give me a bill, i'll show you incredible savings. thank you, but this is my mother's house. get a bill, even if it's not the most recent. i don't know where they are. maybe ... these drawers. -i don't know, maybe... in the kitchen, let's see. the drawers... it's strange. if you can't find one, i'll be by again. wait a moment! -probably... my mother... on the refrigerator. it doesn't matter, it's not urgent. i can come back, maybe you'll have found it, it's okay. -mow.! hi! how are things? just fine. did you ski with her? -sometimes, i was always in the hotel, on a computer. you mean, sleeping. working! did you do that latin? anyway, she always fails me. -she doesn't like me and that's that. cut it out, mrs. capponi is excellent. you're wrong. livia, you don't study, that's it. but i did lots of quizzes for my license. -license? for the scooter. the scooter is far off. but you promised! we didn't promise a thing. -dad did. federico! hey, wait! i didn't promise anything. i said something else, didn't i? -okay... feeling a little better? yes, a little better. come on! i'm always eating. -but i'm bored with being here. margherita, did you ask when i can go home? no, i still haven't spoken to them. mrs. palma was discharged 2 hours ago, you know who? yes. -the one in the next room. she wasn't any better than me. being capricious? ' yes! because it's fun! -good! first you have to finish physiotherapy. then we'll hear what the doctor says. you haven't even opened my gift. sorry, but today i'm a little on edge. -the physiotherapist pushed and pulled me. she's too energetic! that's physiotherapy, if it's not energetic... you know what's funny? the older you get, the dumber they think you are. -instead you understand more, because you think. lessons on life. lessons on life! do you have it'? how nice! -no, i don't. hello. this is my granddaughter. beautiful concert, thank you. livia? -what are you doing? nothing. would you come here, please? just a minute. look what i found in the drawers. -why are you wearing your grandmother's robe? i had a shower and found it. take it off, it bothers me. why? it just does... -look, pizzerias, chinese food, a kebab... japanese. thai and this? vietnamese. does grandma use these? -i think so! just imagine grandma! in such a delicate moment for our society, do you think this film will touch the country's conscience? today, audiences ask us for a different commitment, films which are not just entertainment, but which affect our reality. that's why the task of cinema is to give voice... -yes, sure, the task of cinema! why have i been saying the same things for years? everyone thinks i can understand what's happening, interpret reality, but i don't understand a thing anymore. she refuses to go to the hospital. refuses? -she can't, it's already been decided. where is she? in her room. there's no need to go, i don't want to. -you spoke to the doctor too! we have to go and that's that. please. at gunpoint. yes, at gunpoint. -your colleagues often take refuge in a more intimate cinema, more minimalist but you've always set your stories in the present. you've always been coherent with the idea of social cinema... mom! mom, help me! what? -rhetoric bothers me. those banners that friends and relatives put up. those words bother me. they're not true and they don't help anyone. show me! -here, the gulet's beautiful. i'd take a nice journey in a gulet, you can even choose. a gulet is a schooner with two or three jibs. rocky? sinks? -no, it won't sink. show me. there are pictures. you choose from the photo: "i want this one!" -that one's beautiful. margherita, i'm ready! great director! great! great, great, great! -sensitivity! mow.! ma'am! where's my mother? ma'am! -no one's around. excuse me, the woman in the next room is gone! my mother, know where she is'? no. oh, good! -where's my mother? don't worry, she's been moved to another ward. she had a slight respiratory crisis. she'll spend a few days in intensive care. intensive care? -these things happen, don't worry. hi. mom's here. they did a tracheotomy to give her more oxygen. they inserted a small tube directly in her windpipe. -it had to be done. did it hurt her? they gave her a local anesthesia, but it's done often, it's the best thing for more oxygen. mom? are you still awake? -mom? i'm sorry, you could have gone back to your house! don't worry. look what i found! the sweater patches mom made for us. -what's wake-up time tomorrow? i don't work tomorrow. you're taking some vacation? no, i've been on a leave of absence for over a month. you didn't say anything! -no. are you having trouble at work? no. i'm tired, i'm not up to working right now. i prefer things this way, then we'll see. -it's your first time at the factory since you bought it. you look around, but you still feel like an outsider. i understand, thank you. observe the machinery, the people working, you know you'll have to layoff a third of the workers. am i glad to do that? -no! i'm not glad to do that. no, but you have no choice. i'm ready. margherita, we're ready. -take positions, ready to roll. clapperboard... lucretius, tacitus... what will happen to all those books afterwards? they take up a whole wall in my mother's house. where will all those years of study, of work, go? -all those hours, every day... every day! i visit her, but i never know what to do, i don't know how to help. i can't even distract her. i'm just a burden for her. -ready. ready. quiet! speed. rolling. -35 - 1, take one. action. "livia i'm sorry"? mom, it's me, margherita. sorry! -you're sorry livia's not here? you're sorry you can't do latin with her. you don't want to be seen like this, right? excuse me, five minutes. another five minutes, then they'll kick me out. -anyway, i don't know why, but livia's doing a little better in latin. when you come home, she wants to brush-up with you. she can't wait. "letting you stay a little longer, would be the best treatment". i know! -barry, listen! i want to remind you that in the previous scene, the workers contested you, shouted at you. you're surprised, worried, very nervous. yes, certainly, margherita! good thing it's not raining! -barry, excuse me... i also want to remind you that you play the character, but you have to stand next to the character. think he understood? dunno... how is it? -the light stinks. it's beautiful, just wonderful. well, doesn't it look fake'? no, not at all. c'mon, action. -who was that gal? from the union? he never looks ahead! who was that gal? why's he doing this? -we're going straight and he does this! wait! i don't like it, it's fake! he's on this clumsy barge... six months later the factory would close, sending everyone home. -wait a minute, let him warm up. where have you taken me? what's this place! an italian entrepreneur, in my place... no, dmon that's enough! -i don't like it, it's so fake. cut! stop this thing. i shouldn't do classical studies, linguistics is better. just knuckle down and you'll recoup. -i can't do it! italian and math give tons of homework, i'm too far behind in latin. what good is latin anyway? tell me what good latin is. -latin is important, it helps you reason, create discourse, write... for instance, sentence structure comes from latin. i don't know all of everything, i know it's good for something, but i don't remember what. today it's completely different. -it's more real, isn't it? it's more real, more real... i like it. he's more relaxed. it's better for barry too, right? -yes, yes... action. who was that gurl? he's saying "gurl"? he's saying "gurl". -who let him say "gurl"? barry, the "girl"! now you tell him? who was that gurl? from the union? -i don't think so. an italian embrapreneur... what's he saying? he has four lines, just four, you couldn't teach him the words for these four lines? he did it, five times. -what are you doing? get inside! what's going on? he can't see. marco, prompt him. -i don't think she's from the union. no, i don't think so. no, i don't think so. no, i don't think so. no, i don't think so. -i don't think so... no, i don't think so. barry, what's going on? he hurt me. stop? -fuck it, stop. what a disaster! how can a person act and drive with three cameras in his face? you know what barry's like. but he's right, he's afraid, he can't drive, he can't act, he makes mistakes, it's normal! -could you act with three cameras in your face? i know... sandro even shot light in his eyes. you asked me to. i'm pissed off with me, just with me! -why did you let me change? the car should be on the camera car, why did you listen to me? you always listen to me! but if the director asks... the director's an asshole you let get away with murder! -here? are you okay? not so stiff... like that, good. your body has to bend too. -you're doing fine. good, but relaxed. where did you get this scooter? from my mechanic, it's used. a deal! -let livia decide. if changing schools makes her feel better, okay, she'll change schools. yes, it's dripping perfectly. don't worry! i don't know how to help her, i'm afraid i'll confuse her more. -if she studies, she'll recuperate. she didn't study much at first, she had that difficult period. but she's getting over it. what? yes... -she was in love. she was? with who? i don't know, someone at school. she suffered, you know? -but i think she's better now. she didn't say a word. i see. don't get mad, i know, i've asked you lots of times. what exactly is wrong with mom? -margherita, stop this! why is she getting all these ivs? what ivs? what ivs? don't you remember? -mom is dead. good morning. mom, hi. sorry, i don't remember what they said about the iv. i took care of it. -there's breakfast when you want. good day. thank you. you slept here? yes. -so then i woke up. i felt hot! when was this? no, you'd fallen asleep. so, i got up and, with the doctor, the one who always jokes, we took a walk... it was wonderful! -a very long walk, here, in the hospital gardens. did you see the moon last night? yes! there were many other people, they'd all come out because of the heat. it was... beautiful. -yes. did you bring the translations? yes. let's see. do you like living in grandma's house? -do you? of course! no! my own dictionary is on the desk in my study. bring that one next time, please. -let's go, honey. be right there. wait, mom? what was wrong with grandma today? why that absurd story? -she's tired. they're doing so many tests. i've never seen her like that! i don't think she's better, do you? i don't know. -your leave of absence ends in two months. you don't need to make such a drastic decision right now, it makes no sense, we can't accept it. hello. you are... hello. -that's enough make-up! who selected the extras? me, diego and the head. i asked for workers, male and female, instead they've got fake hair, long nails, huge lips! some men have plucked eyebrows. -can't you find real faces? these faces are real, this is reality. this might be your reality, but it's my film. you should choose them better. think it over a little more. -i realize it's a complicated period for you, but if necessary, the company will give you more time. there's no need, i've decided, and i won't change my mind. i know it's not elegant to remind you, but at your age... yes? ...you won't find anotherjob easily. -i know! i know. giovanni, it's me. where are you? i can never reach you. -your answering machine's always on. call when you hear this message. i'm a little worried about mom, she seems worse. margherita, we're ready when you are. i have to turn off my phone now, but call the number i left you. -call me. what's this guy want? this is our cafeteria. we don't want you here. we don't want you here! -you're predictable. predictable. you're predictable. you're predictable. pre-dic-ta-ble. -cut! sorry, my moustache itches. his moustache itches! want a prompter for him? let's wait a minute. -could you go over his line with him? action. why all this hostility? it's nothing personal against you. but you and i can find... find... -an agreement! please, don't prompt, especially in the middle of a scene, i can do it myself, i'm an adult. ' yes! _ a big boy -lorenzo, we're shooting! c'mon, action. but you and i can come to agreement. an... cut! -that's enough! this is no way! calm down. you must stop this sit-in immediately, or else... or else... or else i... or else... -cut! i can't hold up. you're almost done! done? you're done for today. -for today! well... did you see barry? he's like that, all day long. all day long. -did you talk to grandma? not yet. we'll try later. you must stop this sit-in immediately... no, sorry! -don't worry, say it in english. you must stop this sit-in immediately... don't worry! don't worry, it's okay. don't worry, barry. -you must stop this sit-in immediately, or else i'll... don't say "cut"! a toast to the new owners. cut! what's he saying? -that it's shit dialogue. shit dialogue. i understand! not just the dialogue, the whole film is shit. lorenzo, you fuck off too! -barry, that's enough. you can't remember a single line! you made us waste tons of time, you've been bugging everyone! that again! you never worked with kubrick. -you're ridiculous! he fired me. because you're a jerk! this is his last film, he's retiring. his last? -if only it were true. if only it were true! you're an asshole! an asshole! what is it? -i need the bathroom. i'll call the nurse. no! help me a moment. it's best i call someone. -no need, give me a hand. wait, i'll get a wheelchair. no, there's no need! you just have to help me get down. this one goes down too. -you've tired yourself out. a little. can you manage? yes! but slowly. -i'm not doing anything. come on! i can't do it. i don't understand why. i can't do it. -sure, you can. see? i can't. get the wheelchair. come on, it's impossible you can't walk six feet. -let go of me. come on! i said to let go of me! it's just three steps! let go of me. -it's just three steps! i can't believe this... just three steps. forgive me. actually, the sit-ins are done here, outside the ministry of labor, but we can shoot only between 2 and 6. -do we shoot here, or not'? we also have to decide the cafeteria scene. we won't dismantle the set, will we? dismantle? the scene's not finished, it's not done at all. -just to know when we'll be shooting it. maybe something was good. yes. we have to see those two squares for barry and vittori0's scene. no, i'd rather go alone. -why? i'm calmer, i want to be alone. i'll see them and let you know. she suffered for this boy, i think she felt very bad. -i don't know who he is, someone in her class i think. did livia tell you? no, my mother. how is she? pretty well, but she has to stay hospitalized. -she needs to get stronger, then she can come home. how are things with you? it's a period a bit... i have to take care of me, protect myself. how silly... protect yourself? -now tell me why you had me come. well, i was around. to be together a little. that's it? nothing to say? -have you thought about us? vittorio, i'm shooting a film. what do you want from me? it didn't work out for us, that's it. you don't care that your daughter suffered, all you care is she didn't tell you and you didn't realize. -what are you saying? you think you're attentive but you don't see what's around you. people avoid you, they take you in small doses, they're not relaxed with you. you never like anything, even at work and you ruin things. it's the way i work. -no, it's the way you live and make people who love you live that way too. i was wrong to come. i'm sorry. i shouldn't have answered your call. yeah, maybe. -it would have been better. that's enough, the negotiation ends here. this is the contract, take it or leave it. cut! very good. -sara, this one's in the can, it's good. this scene is finished. i want a little meaner take. no, he was good. lorenzo, tell him he's finished for today. -bruno, let's go set up another scene. let's do another take, i can do better! it's done. i can do better! how's it possible that the film is a little in color and a little bland. -bland? what film? the one they're doing on tv. the tv is off. it is? -for latin, what's important is the sentence structure, especially at the beginning, when you start studying. i'll tell livia. do you have to go'? no, i'll stay a little longer. good girl! -what's this mean? giovanni! it's: "to the despot of syracuse are great advice"... it doesn't mean anything. possessive dative! -i don't know how i remembered it. sorry! when the verb... when 'to be' becomes 'to have'. $0'? -so... the despot of syracuse has great plans. good for you. hi. good evening. -i'm barry. i know. is margherita in? yes, i'm livia, her daughter. poor thing! -i liked your chicken. margherita too, she's a good cook. salads are her specialty. what's funny? also omelets. -what are these? carlo, the producer, the boom man, the costumer... it's my crew! i don't remember anything, don't recognize anyone. my father was like this too. it's an illness. -"you think you can keep the struggle going for weeks, months, but you'll soon be tired out". what's this? it's a line in the film. my line. the director says: -"the actor must be next to the character". what's it mean? i don't know! what's it mean? i've been saying this to actors for years, -i don't know if they've ever understood it. i'm not sure i do myself. so you'll remember. never contradict the director. she is always... fight -here's to the director! look straight in the eye! unfortunately, her test results are worse. it's harder and harder to maintain this balance. a more intense treatment, which worked in the earlier stages, wouldn't give any real improvement. -now you have to evaluate whether to prepare her for... prepare her? we really hadn't thought... i don't understand, what should we have thought? she wants to live, let's leave her in peace. -but have you considered talking to her? what should we say? she needs to be well and do things, and she will. she wants to live, and we'll let her! sorry. -maybe we should get another opinion. i heard about a specialized center in milan. they could try a different therapy. certainly... they're good here, aren't they? yes. -they've followed her. i can't say anything else. i don't understand anything anymore. let's take her home. if it has to happen, if she has to die, -let it happen at home. come on. they had me put all my things in a bag, because i have to go home, they say. we've talked about it, right? we'll put things in order and return home. -i packed your clothes. what you do here, you can do at home. i don't know, i feel tired. maybe we can wait till monday? monday? -why? i wanted to say goodbye to that very kind nurse, she's on vacation now, but she'll be back... aren't you glad to be going home? yes, but some friends of mine were coming but they didn't say when. if they don't find me, they'll worry. -come on, let's get dressed. we won't wait till monday. no, we're going home. nexium... at 8am and 8pm. mom, there's no need, the nurse will tell you what to take and when. -i want to know. isn't it a bit risky taking me out to dinner? no, we aren't taking you out. how could you? oh, okay! -i misunderstood. yes. bifix, at... 7:30. i bought the recliner. how much was it? -don't worry! tell me, we'll split it. okay, i'll tell you later. i spoke to the nurse, we've set up the schedule. the schedule we talked about? -yes. have you seen vittorio? yes, we said hello. i've been instructed on how to use an oxygen tank. it's quite simple. -can we handle it? yes! vittorio said some terrible things about me. how dare he? some terrible things on my relationships with others. -i thought about it, those things were correct, exact! also the way i treat people. he's right, why didn't anyone ever tell me? you've told me? why didn't i ever understand? -"l, in the presence of those, who wound minds and sensitivities... "memes sensusque", maybe it could be translated better with. .. "wounds the mind and soul". "wounds the mind and soul". -good, you know latin, see? it's important you don't translate the verbs with the first thing you find in the dictionary. now i'll do my own homework. "si te parentes timerent..." how many accepted? -what do you say? how many accepted? speed. i'm ready. i h0pe! -if you want to go, we can stop. just tell me. no, wait. we go on? yes. -action. what do you say? how many accepted? no one. i don't believe it! -accepting your money is like accepting the closure of the factory. but we want our jobs, we want to go out to work every day, we'll continue the sit-in until you agree to no layoffs. you all think you can hold out, but you'll soon be tired. in the end you'll accept much less than what i'm offering you now. it's useless, you'll never realize what this job means to us. -cut! good. when did it happen? were you there? yes, i'll wake her now. -do you need anything'? yes, we'll be right there. look, mom loved this suit. this? or this. -nice, a little dark. yes, maybe. this is pretty. yes, it's nice. it's not too... -no, it goes well with the suit. yes. it's massimo de vito, is ada there? i'll open for you. someone's coming up to say hello to mom. -i didn't tell him, his name's massimo de vito. yes, he's a former student of hers. i'll talk t0 him. i'd stop for coffee every time i came through rome. i haven't come in a while, i didn't know she was ill. -yes, in recent months. ada was a reference for me, we talked about everything, work, children, politics. she was always like that, ready to listen, curious, asking questions on everything. she made you feel important. and you were important to her! -on a typical school outing to cuma, we stopped at a cafe that had a jukebox. we all let loose, and your mother too, she started dancing easily among her class. don't be jealous, margherita, but for many of us ada was, and still is, a mom. she taught us life, even more than other subjects and she's stayed inside us... mom? -yes? what are you thinking about? tomorrow. (video games noises) all right, you think you got moves? -well, you're not gonna see this coming. (explosion) oh! yeah! oh, come on! -(laughs) sorry, kinda saw that coming. speaking of things blowing up in your face that everyone saw coming, i heard you messed it up with riley again. i didn't mess up... unless she said i messed up... -in which case, that's messed up! she just said you guys were figuring things out, which i assumed was code for "ben screwed it up again." i think there were other factors involved, and by "other factors," i mean people. okay, but i'm guessing the other people's name is ben. -(explosion) aw, come on! (laughs) yeah. i win again. yeah, whatever. -you always win. ben, zero. danny, a gajillion. (scoffs) dude, calm down. -it's just a game. it's not just a game! it was. now it's just weird. rematch? -yeah. okay. well, boys, i thought i had scraped the bottom of the loser barrel, but tonight's date proved that the barrel has a false bottom, and it's name was doug. i mean, it's one thing to live in your car, but with a roommate? i mean, come on! -and of course, he spent the whole night looking at these and not this, and after i spent an hour telling him about my exciting real estate career, he asked me how long i'd been a lawyer! i tell you, men never listen! hey, mom. how was your date? (theme music playing) -ben: so what? you won a game of basketball. why don't you try something more challenging, like baby making? beaten you at that, haven't i? -i'm not sure forgetting to put on a condom and getting a girl pregnant is the big win you think it is. that's real nice, uncle danny. real nice. hey, mom, we're just dropping emma... (hisses) -mmm. mom, what happened to you? i've completely given up. i'm swearing off men. isn't it great? -no makeup, hairdos, or bathing. i'm basically living the life of a dude. no wonder you guys have so much free time to be idiots. (hisses) now if you'll excuse me, -i'm gonna go drink beer in my bathtub, because i can. (giggles) hey, dude, i think mom's broken. you know, i've seen this before. you know what mom's problem is? oh my god, there's something more than this? -she needs to meet a decent guy, and i know a ton of guys. at least one's gotta be decent. no offense, bro, but i think mom's looking for a relationship that doesn't end in "we're figuring things out." oh. you think you could do better? -in a word, yeah, why not? okay, then you're on. whoever sets up mom and pulls her out of this slump, wins. bonnie: hey, do either of you want my razors? -i'm not gonna need 'em anymore! i'm not wrong, am i? i mean, it's totally not fair. ben didn't even give me a say in this breakup, time out, holding pattern or whatever it's called. (dings) -and you want to know what the worst part is? that i'm about to be stuck in a small space with you? sondra: hold the elevator! (clicking rapidly) -oh dear god, please close. tucker. sondra. oh, hey, riley. back from yoga? -yeah, we went to... i love yoga. it really takes my mind off things. oh my god, do i have a lot of things on my mind. a lot. -oh my god, tell me about it. okay, she's not really asking. it's just a figure of speech. well, i'm sure it's about a guy. you know, it's always about a guy. -(elevator stops) it is about a guy! my husband! oh, does he want a break? or a time out? -or did he tell you that you feel something about someone that you don't? because he will. they all do. they're all crazy. you're all crazy. -(elevator starts) he's just been so aloof lately, always staying late at work, never has time for my calls. oh, girl, that's easy... he cheating. what? you really think so? -it doesn't matter what he's doing! all that matters is what you're doing. you need to take charge of this situation so you don't have any regrets. go find your voice. (elevator dings) -my voice? oh my god, thank you so much, riley. that was really good advice. what people say about lawyers isn't true, because you're clearly very smart, you're an attorney, and you totally know what you're talking about. riley, what did i tell you about the elevator? -don't talk to anybody. i'm sorry. "congratulations, ben." "oh, thank you, danny." that's a little glimpse into the future, because i just beat you. you see that guy right there? -that's richard, and he's perfect for mom. i think she ought to get in line behind that guy. this isn't over. oh crap, it's my boss! god, i hate him. -he's so phony. mr. henderson! what's up, man? good to see you. how are ya? -doing great, especially now that i'm finally done with my messy divorce. and for the record, when people say "messy," they mean, "she got everything." so, you just got divorced. bummer. -any chance you're in the market for some female companionship? ooh. i don't allow hookers in my bar. but if you'd like to step outside, maybe we can discuss this. -'i'm trying to set you up with my mom. ah. well, i'm flatered that you would trust me with your mother's affections, especially after i just showed interest in a hooker. wheeler, looks like i might get set up with your mom. if all goes well, you could mix drinks for me here and at home. -(clicks tongue) what did you do? just set the multi-gajillionaire up with mom. (laughs) once again, i win. danny, you can't just pick some random good-looking guy with lots of money to go out with mom to win the bet! -you have to be selective, careful, vet each prospective match thoroughly. can i get a gin and tonic? how about a 40-something blonde? it's today's special. and here's another thing... fortune cookies. -fortune cookies are so stupid. where are the realistic ones? like... "you'll finally date the guy of your dreams..." - (sighs) "...and then he'll dump you for no reason whatsoever." -"in bed." (laughs) (knocks on door) no, see? it doesn't always work. no. -you were right! he's a cheater! a cheater! i took your advice and look what i found! a locket! -a locket! a locket? (scoffs) i don't know which one's worse: the fact that he's cheating on you, or that it's with a 90-year-old. look, it has a picture of him on one side and another woman on the other. -oh damn. i'd get her a locket. you know what? nicely done. you listened to my advice, and you took charge of your destiny. -but now what do i do? well, since you've taken back control, and you have your proof, you have some tough decisions to make about your marriage and as a highly-regarded legal professional, i'm here to tell... oh my god! oh my god, i'm supposed to be at a deposition! okay, you know what? -i'm sure you're gonna work it out. have fun! wait! where are you going? you can't leave me here with this crazy... -(door shuts) amount of food. how can he do this to me? do... do you wanna look in the locket again, or...? i know i'm not the easiest woman to live with. -or next to. look... sondra, i am really sorry that this is happening to you, and i know we are not the best of friends or... even friends at all for that matter. you know, nobody deserves to be treated like this. thank you, tucker. -you're very sweet. i can be. (chuckles) hey. oh wow, mom, you look great. try not to act so surprised. -i was on the couch for two days, not in the woods for two years. all right, now where is this client you said couldn't wait to meet me? oh, they decided they could wait, but hey, let's grab lunch anyway, okay? okay. okay, there she is. -wow! you're right. those legs really don't quit, though i would like to find out where they take a break. let's take it down a notch, sparky, okay? that's my mom. -in fact, come wait out here while i go warm her up. add that to the list of things you should never have to say about your mother. hey, mr. henderson, over here! have you met my mother, bonnie? no, but i'd rather meet this attractive young woman instead. -wow. i wish the nachos here came with that much cheese. (laughs) jack henderson, i have two hotels. bonnie wheeler, and i have two of a lot of things. -and a clueless son. (whispers) danny, get lost. oh yeah, i'll get you guys some drinks. (chuckles) sorry, little bro. -ironically, i just swore off men. but i think i'm about to regret that decision. excuse me, mr. henderson, there's a call for you in the office. (sighs) i'll be right back. don't move a muscle. -well, the only muscle i'll be moving is this one. (mutters) oh, this is for you from the gentleman outside. well, why would he send me a drink when i'm obviously sitting... (gasps) in the wrong section. (laughs) the young guns are out there. -well, you know, jack did say he'd be a minute. oops, time's up. i can't be expected to wait around forever. hi, i'm bonnie. and i'm frank. -well, you two seem to be hitting it off. mr. henderson needs me in his office right away? thank you. wait. what... what are you doing out here? -and when is he leaving? honey, this is frank. (whispers) be cool! hi, frank. i'm danny. -nice to meet you. oh. (gasps) what's the matter with you? danny! -i'm sorry. i forgot that i had a drink in that hand, it happens. yeah. i gotta go. -maybe some other time. oh, frank. oh. well, lucky for you, today i'm traveling with a spare. now where's jack? -oh, hey, mom, bad news. he's holed up in his office. i'm not sure what happened. something about losing something. well, the last time i lost two guys this fast, was when i told the three guys i was dating in high school i was pregnant. (laughs) -you may have gotten rid of frank, but it doesn't matter. i'm still gonna win. do you just wanna concede now? if concede means i win, then i do. it doesn't. -then i don't. tucker, hi. oh my gosh, i am so sorry about sondra. was she upset? not when she left. -you and you have ruined my life! ru-ined! i couldn't take it, so i demanded an explanation, and threw the locket in my husband's face, and do you know what he said? "ow"? -he said the locket was for me, and that woman's picture came with it! so now he's not the cheater! i am! a cheater? with who? -with him! i'm sorry, but tucker's the only person standing there. he preyed on me while i was weak. you weren't too weak to carry me into that bedroom! tucker! -now what is the matter with you? (laughs) don't be pointing fingers! if it weren't for all your don't-let-men decide-your-future girl-power extremism, i never would've ended up in his bed in the first place! yeah, riley. -if you didn't shove all your girl power on her, she wouldn't have shoved her girl parts on me. now if you will excuse me, i'm going to figure out a way, to tell my husband and pray that he forgives me. i'm an adulteress! an adulteress! -(door slams) wow. you really ruined her life. i'm just... i'm glad i stayed out of it. -(knocks) knock-knock. mom, you decent? so, mom's not here, but she couldn't have gone far. can i get you something to eat? ooh. -still warm. it's probably okay. all right, so you wait here and i'm gonna go find her. she's probably out getting cleaning supplies or buying hangers. don't you think she might be just a tad concerned to come home and find a strange man in her apartment? -you'd be surprised. mind if i wash up? oh yeah, sure. the mop's next to the fridge. thanks. -(door opens) bonnie: and that concludes today's post-daycare wrap-up, "why grandma's gonna die alone." no, she's not, emma. -i'm gonna be right there with her, because today i ruined somebody's life and their marriage. well... i scrubbed so hard i think i'm actually a shade lighter. what's up with him? -he slept with sondra. riley! (gasps) you slept with sondra? are you deaf? (emma laughs) -i know. you've met her. (door shuts) hey, mom, it's your favorite son! hey, man, thanks for giving my mom a second chance. -you two are gonna have a lot of fun together. you and your mom seem oddly close. that's why you're here, frank. take off some of the pressure. right. -all right, looks like she stepped out, so i'll go see if i can track her down. make yourself comfortable. don't you think she'll be a little freaked out to find a strange man in her apartment? you'd be surprised. hey, tucker, i got you these, you know, in case you wanna hook up with sondra again. -oh my god, mrs. wheeler, i think you're being robbed. what? frank? how the hell did he get in my apartment? oh! -i'm gonna kill ben... or thank him, depending on where this goes. how can i swear off men when they are literally breaking down my door? wait, why does that guy look so familiar? (gasps) because that's no guy. -that's sondra's husband. yes! ha! so he really is a cheater. i'm not really sure that this is a high-five kind of moment. -(dings) what's up, danny? what are you doing here? uh... nothing. what are you doing here? -i live here. (both grunt) i don't think so, man. both: mom! -mom! mom! mom! danny: i gotta talk to you, mom! -hey, what's up, guys? we're just looking for my mom. yeah, she just left for her place. so should we go tell sondra the bad news? try not to gloat. -try not to have sex with her. you lost. mom's gonna walk right in to mr. henderson sitting on her couch. what are you talking about? frank's at her apartment right now. -no, mr. henderson is. (ben gasps) both: uh-oh. no! -no! i... yes! (both grunting) no! -hello! i've got a hot delivery for... frank? hello? mom! -we can explain! hopefully what that guy from the bar was doing standing in my apartment 10 minutes ago. wait. are you alone? uh-huh. -i don't know what's going on. that's what i get for leaving the safety of my sweatpants. (hisses) (sighs) there you are. i've been running around for the last two hours. -and i've been drinking for the last two hours, trying to figure out why a son would set his mom up for a three-way. no! oh god, no, no no. you've got it all wrong. that's her ex. -horrible breakup. she wants to start over with you. not really looking to settle down. either is she! she hates commitment. -she loves a good fling. in fact, you should go fling her right now. oh god! and it looks like i win again. i just dropped henderson off at mom's 10 minutes ago. -(laughs) oh yeah. are you ben wheeler? who's asking? the f.b.i. then i'm answering and sweating. -how can i help you? we're looking for jack henderson. we have a warrant for his arrest for tax evasion. do you know where we can find him? really? -oh my god, i win! yes! i finally win! sorry, it's a long story. come with me. -i'll show you where he is. yes! oh! so, just ballpark figures. can you afford a ballpark? -(laughs) oh yeah. (laughs) but i'd rather talk about other figures. yours. -oh. aha! see? he most certainly is not. wait, are you sure? -look again. what is wrong with the two of you? bonnie, hi, i'm sorry... frank? sondra! -hey, there you are. these are for you. don't read the card. you're married? to sondra? -are you deaf? thank god i listened to riley, who inspired me to take charge of my life and not have any regrets. she helped me find my voice. and this voice is taking it to the rooftops and yelling "it's over!" o-ver! honey, please! -now is this a high-five moment? yeah, it is! hey, hey, why was frank just running out of here with sondra? because she's his wife. really? -is he deaf? f.b.i., you're under arrest. damn it. damn it. okay, let me just say it was spring break, -i was 17, and so i wasn't officially an adult yet. just... mom, not you. mr. henderson. what? -whoa! there's gotta be some mistake. hey, hey. hey, let's talk about this. you look like lobster guys. -do you like lobster? i love lobster. i've got a great... hey, what's going on? your guy is going to prison for tax evasion. -that's what's going on, so you lose. oh, and you think setting mom up with a married man constitutes a win? i don't think so. okay, what the hell are you two talking about? lose what? -win what? what was this? some kind of contest? a game? "find a date for poor old mom"? -well, when you say it like that, it sounds like we did a bad thing. okay, so you didn't even care enough to find out anything about these guys, like whether they're married or a felon? i mean, so you think i would just go out with just anybody? i feel like the real answer might make you mad. well, why would you think that? -you don't see me going out with a bunch of random guys that i don't even bother getting to know, do you? oh my god. you're right. that's exactly what i do. why do i do that? -you know what? from now on i'm gonna remember how amazing i am ad i'm gonna make sure that the guys i date are just as amazing. so what you're saying is "thank you"? no! no, "thank you's" are reserved for people who actually meant to do the right thing, not for selfish kids who got lucky. -come here. (both grunt) who needs a man in her life when i've got you two? mom? it's a little tight to be a hug, mom! -yeah, i'm still mad. i'm still a little mad. mom! ow! so we agree? -no more competing. (knocks on door) yeah, man. you're right. it's just so immature. -yes! i win! what? ooh! oh man. -rematch? you're on, buddy. tucker, you need to talk to the mailman about keeping your mail out of my box. don't wait up. as a kid, you expect to find your one true love. -then you grow up, you fuck around and search. slowly, you lose hope and think it's all pointless. when did it become so uncool to want someone for the rest of your life? we're not supposed to be this solitary. what if we all could find someone? -a single person out of seven billion people in this world who truly understands who you are. that one person that enters your universe and stays there forever. eternal summer or maybe it was just me who thought everyone meets someone. maybe it's supposed to be this way. -fuck it! i don't know. well, love is like toast. you wonder your entire life if you want it lightly toasted or well-done. then one day you find it - the perfect heat. -the perfect toast with a crisp surface, but still with a soft center. then it's how you apply the butter - it shouldn't melt too fast or too slow. it's a feeling. and when you have it, you'd better hold on to it. hold on tightly to that toast or it will all crumble and disappear. -and you have to try a new one. you can't keep eating toast. why? it's delicious. you'll get iron deficiency. -and vitamin deficiency. why does it have to be so complicated? if i like toast, why shouldn't i just say so? it's awesome! vertical 8, the name of the band. -we have to get this! five letters. come on, dad! tages! tages? -your mom and i used to listen to this. it's good, listen! this is the precursor of today's pop music. it all came from this. t -a g e s. awesome, dad! -we'll nail this! yes, fuck 'em! the race is on! let's see... horse number 7 had a strong start. -but number 5 is catching up. number 7 races on; it looks like a win. it was close, but we have a winner! congratulations, well done! any new contestants for the horse jam? -the battle of the horse... shit. hey! hey... will i see you tonight? -i work late. let's check in later. the pyramid! 15 kronor for two balls. the pyramid... -isak! cheers. cheers, cheers. bottoms up. going out tonight? -i'm open to suggestions. where? what, you're coming? do you think i'm too old? i look like... -be honest now! hot as hell! i'm a fucking male gorilla. do you want anything? shots? -i want one of these. your dad is so fucking cool! i wish i had a dad like that. three shots, motherfuckers! sorry, i had my fingers in there. -but i didn't finger anyone this week. so damn nasty... he can't handle me being like this, "an old fart can't be horny like that". no, i get horrible pictures in my head. damn... -cheers to love! hello. ...yes... would you like to meet? isak... -isak. good morning, baby! good morning. you're wearing my ring? i'll... -i can take it. wouldn't it be crazy if we got married? yes, that would be crazy. if you would propose to me, that'd be insane. so weird. -let's do it, just you and me. let's get married! can i have my... i'm just kidding. chill! -or am i? how many kids do you want? no, i have a few things to... hi there! hello! -ugh... lars. erika. isak. are you roommates? -no, that's my dad. you have kids? well, he's more like a buddy. are you for real? you're my dad even though they're here. -you're 24, you take care of yourself. just how old are you? you said you were 35. i did? i'm sorry... -sometimes i get why mom left you. what are you talking about? who the hell cared for you? you were with me every god damn day. whether i was working, sleeping, watching tv, showering. -where was she? why would you mention your bloody mom? and don't say i wasn't responsible! sorry. i said i'm sorry. -aren't i entitled to a life? i said i'm sorry! don't talk crap! don't touch me. i'm sorry! -i don't want to hear that stuff. i'm sorry. good. will you leave? i decide when i leave, and i'm leaving now. -right... i should probably go too. i'll join you. see you! last call! -cheers! let's drink to her! cheers, everyone! an old fashioned, please. no, wait - surprise me! -i'm tired of the same old. what's... what's going on? what's going on? you little cunt! -jenny... damn it! i can explain... what the fuck...! who's that? -this... this is... isak. isak... and who's she? -that's em. what kind of a name is that? shouldn't you be at a hen party? i was. should we leave? -no, you two stay until we're done! what happened to your sauna weekend? who the hell does that? sweating with other naked men, is that me? no, but you wouldn't know. -you never listen to me! no, that's your damn job. damn... what the hell was that? ! -here... does that work? are you sure? you're not getting it back. oh? -i'm a bit of a kleptomaniac. okay! think they're doing it? either she's pity screwing him. or a small part of her finds this a bit... -perhaps this was sort of the new start they needed... so we just solved their issues? i think so. okay, so who was that dude? won't you tell me? -it's a long story. i get it. no, you don't. but that's okay. okay... -what about her? i don't know, it was just for the night. i don't seem to be the type who meets someone for more than one night. bullshit... what? -what's your excuse? a shitty childhood? or... that you get easily bored? you're throwing accusations at me. if the shoe fits... -and just how easy it is to meet someone? where are you going? i don't know. then i follow you, madame to "i don't know". are you going home, em? -where's em? she's with them. what, is em with them? that femme? yes, em - she's with them. -it's not even a song! you're just talking. what the hell! what are you doing tomorrow? i'm going to tornio to steal a cello. -right... what are you doing? this is insanely strange but i'm also going up north. i'm buying a saxophone in piteå. really? -isn't that the same direction? yes, actually it is. well, that's perfect. yes, we could carpool. but... why are you stealing a cello? -for my sister. oh, that's nice. how long are you staying? for as long as i want to. a road trip would be nice. -we'd eat at crappy truck stops. and go swimming. and go swimming. living on the edge! what...? -ready? the car's in there. huh? what...? what do you... -now? yes. now, as in right now? i'm going. come if you want. -okay. okay? yeah, okay. great, let's go! yes, i want to go. -let's go. fuck it, let's go! damn, that's nice! okay. so we're leaving... -okay, are you ready...?

-okay. how do you steal a cello? i haven't figured that out yet. but we'll manage. yes... -are you allowed to steal it? no, of course not. but... but, what? are you backing out? -no, just... it's for your sister, right? she plays, i take it? exactly. is she any good? -mm. all right, let's do it. still no answer. this is em. i can't answer right now. -hi, honey. it's mom. dad is very upset you took the car. they don't make cars like that anymore. they don't make them anymore. -doesn't she get what that's worth? it's worth a great deal to him. please call so we can talk. bye! this is unacceptable. -you haven't heard anything, sweetheart? no, nothing. do you know if something's happened? she seemed... she seemed okay. -it's all futile. she could be anywhere. cabins tents, restaurant fishing, camping people say it's illegal to smoke weed. you're so boring. -tell me something unexpected about yourself. i used to compete in swimming. i used to compete in swimming. no... stop. -for real? yes! you're kidding! no. were you any good? -yes. why did you quit? life happened. what do you like most about yourself? my hands, i think. -what's the stupidest thing you've done? bring you on a road trip. what color was my bra when we met? black! i think... -how's your relationship with your dad? pass. right? look... i hired him. -you did? perfect timing. keep going, just move it along! wanna go for a swim? mm. -would you jump in first to see if it's deep enough? okay. if you win, i'll jump in first. if i win? one, two, three! -i want a do-over! i didn't realize what we were doing. what? i didn't understand. get in. -get in! what were we doing? go swimming, right! one... it's a done deal. -one... let's do this. no, we did! i didn't get it. go swimming, now? -no, it's too late. what the hell...? feel this! no... no! -em? em? em! em, stop this! are you fucking stupid? -i held my breath. your turn! come on, mr. pro swimmer! okay... will you keep count? -let's do rock-paper-scissors for the bed. one, two, three! damn it... go! i would have given you the bed. -right... are you going to listen to music now? mm. okay. good night. -good night. there isn't a single artist in the world who could do this. no, it's pretty. pretty? is that all you have to say? -it's like "the lord of the rings". okay, let's pick a song that represents this trip. it'll be our song. i have the best damn road-trip song. hey! -when you're riding shotgun, you can pick the music. if you have all the rules, perhaps you should drive so that i don't drive us into a ditch, like this... look! you're such a dork. who is erika? -just a girl from work. i'll tell her i'm not coming in today. give me your phone. why? just give it to me. -what the hell! what are you doing? why do you have to notify the world? what the hell am i supposed to do? i have to call my dad, my work. -just use a payphone. what? did you say payphone? this is not 1993. are you serious? -are you serious? keep looking out here, that's better. you're insane. you're insane! come on! -it's in the throat, and it hurts like hell when i swallow. i guess it's something in the adenoids, from my nose to the tonsils. great. thank you so much, i'll be fine soon. okay, talk to you later. -bye then. thanks, bye. that's done! you can't be this erratic, it won't work. thanks. -why are you going over there? i'm... just picking up some music stuff that i forgot. you haven't heard anything? no. but don't worry, she always does okay. -still, she could have said something before taking off. we've been best friends for 15 years; she never tells me anything. and you don't know anything about the guy? no - but i don't think she does either. -it's what she does. if something's hard, she pushes it away by doing some other crazy thing. like what? i don't know... she wants to provoke, to do whatever is most forbidden. -that's why we love her, isn't it? it's so quiet... it's so quiet! should we eat? yes, let's go to the restaurant. -do you think we need a reservation? perhaps not. don't... go throw it away. i didn't kill it it's like rock hard. -you can get sick from it! from this? yes. we should at least bury it properly. "after jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:" -"father, the hour has come." "glorify your son, that your son may glorify you." "for you granted him authority over all people... " why are you running? what if i left you here? -"... that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. " damn... then what? "now this is eternal life, that they know you. " may 8th. -i feel so purposeless. i wish i felt so strongly about something that would make me do anything like my baby sister does. it's so good. what is? the cello. -i wanna learn how to play so i can have it on my record. so do it. it's not something you just do. it's custom made by a woman in tornio, who makes like five per year. how pretentious! -i knew you'd laugh. dad can buy it for me, i'll pay him back later. why don't you ask me? well... guess. excuse me! -i'm your older sister. "there are only five in the world." cut it out! okay, then i'd like a cello from you. okay. -she got everything. i got nothing. june 7 th. i'm disappearing. my sister is, like, better friends with my friends than i am. -there's nothing worse than feeling lonely among others. carl fucking linné, that's nice! what the hell does that mean? linné? he's on the 100 kronor bill - some of us graduated high school. -carl von linné - the birds and the bees. whatever... pure euphoria shouldn't be this easy. stop analyzing shit! it's nice! -sure it's sweet, but isn't it hopeless? what, doing drugs? having to do drugs to feel happy. what's with the party pooping? it isn't real. -hey, i've known the guy for four years. he didn't sell us any crap. this is fucking pure! if you're not doing it, i will. fuck, i feel so left out. -listen, i'm like... hang on. ...older than you are. damn! don't you agree? -yes, you're the only one in the world with existential anxiety. perhaps you should just do one to feel better. if you're not in the mood, you need something. it usually helps you. you're not listening to me. -em... it's sweet. you're such a bunch of cunts. and you're so boring! we're going out! -i'm sick of feeling insufficient, that i don't fit in. i feel like a boring friend and a bad sister, but it's better if she doesn't know. i'm so lost. why can't i just be like everyone else? shower, dance, eat, do drugs, fuck. -don't be the way you don't wanna be. get a grip. breathe. no one knows, not even my little sister. i thought they'd be bigger. -i really did. they're not fully grown. don't you think there's a difference between the animals here and the ones in the wild? i think they're a bit like me. expected to behave normally in a world where they don't belong. -what am i, the wild beast? looking for my own food, no one telling me what to do... i see you more like a migratory bird that i shot down and now care for. a migratory bird? no. -a tiny bird. they're not that terrifying at all. but you're not terrifying. in some cases i am. i think so... -you're like a thousand piece puzzle, made up entirely of sky and ocean. hold on... am i really the complicated one out of us two? yes. you throw phones out of cars... -if i'm sky and ocean, then you're a desert puzzle. not even a small oasis? no, no, no. there's a dog buried somewhere, but you can't see him because there's sand everywhere. what the hell is that supposed to mean? -what's going on? em? em? will you let me out? not without the code. -what code? open sesame. get real! i don't know the code. give me a clue at least. -the truth... you have to be honest. when i was seven, i used to lock up the smaller kids at daycare until they'd start to cry. almost all my friends think i'm a black belt in karate but i took like one class, then i got tired of it. at 15, i had to think about death to get the courage to pick up girls. -i thought that in 100 years, it's not going to matter if she turns me down. i've never loved anyone. june 24th. i cannot believe i went. i knew it would make me feel worthless. -but, i wanted to show her how proud i am of her. big applause! you must have done something right when your daughter embraces music with the same passion as you. of course! i remember that age - bubbling, brimming with creativity. -that's what she has, and that's what i want to harness. exactly. that's so true! i'm just so proud of you. i'm moved by all of this. -the family? the show, your family, the way you care for each other the security... it will be incredibly important when we move forward. you must always be able to come home, that's it. cheers again! -cheers, dad! cheers, felicia. and congratulations! are you as talented? in music? -i like to say that felicia got all the good genes, and i the bad ones. it doesn't show, that's for sure. it doesn't show, who i've been and where im coming from. when i was little, i was so afraid of reality. i thought it would pass. -i just wanted to be honest and tell the truth, but im afraid to. what if that person would go away, too? i can't risk losing everything again. shit. there's only one thing left to do. -what? okay. one, two, three, four. come closer. 22 kronor. -what? the piano was 30 kronor! let's think of something else. i can play a slower tune. no, something else entirely. -they don't seem to get this music. come on! so you're serious? i'm always serious. dare you not? -i don't get the point. the point is, we need the money and it's a cool thing you need to have done. it's also illegal as hell. you have the wrong focus. we're here, and we can do whatever the fuck we want. -you have to see the freedom in that. it's you and me, isn't it?

uh, no, no. i have an infant son, so... -you don't look like the overprotective type. are we, uh, gonna get along here, cora? absolutely, charlie. i'm determined to. really? -why would that be? because i'm a doctor who speaks to the dead. and i understand from kristine that you do, too. shel, it's all right. maggie. -are you okay? i'm fine. everyone says they're fine. you've got a scratch on your head. you're probably in shock. -really, zach, i'm fine. okay, this is shelby. where's my husband? she's pregnant. she has a bad laceration on her leg -and probably some kind of shrapnel. okay, great. let's get her into a hall bed, 'cause there's no room in here right now. i need you to stay here with me. oh. -i need to take a look at that gash on your head. come here. do you know what happened out there? yeah. this. -jesus. cassie. come here. i need you to take care of this. i need you find out if it belongs to anybody who's been admitted. -i'm looking after dr. lin. you're coming with me. you had no right telling her about me. look at it as a chance to talk to another doctor who sees what you do. you don't know that. -and i don't know that. and i don't know her. you didn't tell me he was a skeptic. oh, he's not. he's just... -narrow-minded, pigheaded. wary. fearful. you and i saw things together in the spirit realm, charlie. you can't deny that. -i'm not denying it. i'm just trying to keep an open mind about what it means, that's all. by closing your mind? uh... i'm... -i'm sorry. is this an intervention? should i be standing up and saying, "hello. my name is charlie harris, and i see ghosts?" -well, it would be a good first step. i'm fine. it's just a couple of bruises. mm-hmm. just consider me your second opinion. -just gonna do a concussion test. that hurt your eyes? no. you feeling nauseous? yeah, but that's just your cologne. -count down from 100. 99, 98... i really need to go see shelby. not until i send you up to imaging. fine. i'll do the scan. -but can i just stay on the floor until that happens? you check in with me every hour. you swear? pinkie swear. maggie? -maggie. thank god. i knew i gave up running for a reason. no kidding. i need to go be with my patient. -of course. right after i clean up. zach, i need more o neg. i've got a kid that's gonna bleed out. sorry, we're swamped. -we don't have any. all right, i'll push starch, albumin, and ringer's, but the second that that comes in, you let me know. yeah. it's gonna be a hell of a blood drive. call down to the cafeteria, the laundry room, and the gift shop, and get every staff member who's not in this e.r. -to step up and donate. yeah, i got you. yes. hi. dawn bell, chief of surgery. -hi. detective lozio. detective, is this necessary? absolutely. our assumption is, this was an act of terror. -we need to question the victims, dr. bell. we'd appreciate your cooperation. all right. as long as it doesn't interfere with their care. you just let us know if we're stepping on any toes, doc. -i will. and i'm sorry for your loss. i know that our first casualty was a police officer. yeah, a rookie... 23 years old. we're gonna get whoever did this. -excuse me. okay, shelby. we're still looking for your husband. but the good news is, your fast was negative. i'm sorry? -it means that i couldn't find any free fluid in your abdomen. um, i still want to check on the baby with a fetal monitor and remove the shrapnel from your leg, obviously. what if it hurt the baby? that's what we're gonna check. i'm gonna do an ultrasound. -why did i do this? adam didn't want me to run the 10k. he thought it was doing too much with the baby. your husband was in the race, too? no. -is he here? we're working on it. okay. shelby... nobody knew this was gonna happen. -we're gonna do everything in our power to make sure the baby is healthy. pinkie swear. it's my new thing. hey. lungs look wet, and there's a telltale butterfly effect. -blast lung it is. gonna make the anesthetist's job real tricky. he's not gonna make it to the o.r. what are you talking about? the blood bank's overwhelmed. -there's no o neg. i mean, we could push hydroxyethyl starch, but you and i both know more blood is the only way that he's gonna survive. oh, hell. yeah, hell. i'm o neg. -all right, we'll do a whole blood transfusion. hook me up to him. seriously? yep. they do it on the battlefield all the time. -that's pretty much what we're looking at here. odds are he'll react negatively to the transfusion. odds are he's gonna die, so... we might as well buy the kid some more time. okay. -let's turn you into a blood bag. two units... coming up. charlie said you were crazy. hey, pot and kettle, reid. fetal heart rate is normal. -no signs of trauma. thank god. yeah. shelby! shelby, oh, my god. -baby. are you okay? yeah. i thought i'd lost you. i thought i'd lost you. -okay, you have to be gentle. i know you're worried, but she's been hurt. who are you? i'm taking care of shelby. i'm dr. lin. -okay, what's wrong with her? is the baby okay? nobody's told me anything. okay, if you sit down, i'd be happy to explain everything to you. -the baby is stable. so is shelby. i'm just about to remove the shrapnel from her leg. no, you got to do that in an operating room. no, we're gonna do it under a local here. -we have a lot of patients that need our help, and the critically injured are given o.r. priority. yeah, well, shelby's my priority. you should know that i've called our obstetrician. dr. katz will be here soon. sydney katz? -yeah. dr. barlow, please report to pediatric room 8. for dr. miller. what is it? it's a young woman's arm. -oh, my god. tell him that i assessed the zone of injury, and it's still viable for reattachment after a little clean-up. what's the patient's name? we don't know yet. -just keep it here under jane doe till we do, please. um... and this belongs to her. i need the trauma bay, alex. what is going on here? -every little bit counts, right? the donor looks good. how's the patient? it's working. he's stable. -that's good. so you two crazy kids can get him up to the o.r. and out of my trauma bay. no. what do you mean, "no"? -the o.r. is jammed, zach. i'm not gonna stand in the hallway waiting for the operating room and watch him bleed out. he's stable here. dawn! yep. -need you. what the hell is this? reid and bishop need to get him up into surgery. he's gonna die while we're waiting for an operating room. he needs to be first priority. -why? because he has penetrating abdominal trauma. well, so do half the patients here. not combined with blast lung. he has a very narrow window to be operated on. -his lungs will collapse if we wait. come on, dawn. look, he's a kid. fine. i need a trauma bay more than i need an argument. -get him up to the o.r. now. what a day. what a lovely day. well, my experience isn't the same as yours. i mean, yes, i see ghosts, but, uh... -i also see patients in some kind of liminal state... between life and death. and do they stay there? no, that's, um... basically, i help them. um, it's kind of weird, but it's become another part of my job, like charting or scrubbing or... -tell her how things have been changing, charlie. you were there. you tell her. well... charlie and i saw this woman's spirit draw her soul mate into death after her. -i've never seen that before. have you? have there been other encounters that have frightened you? why would she ask me that? please. -indulge me. there was a convict who wanted me to help him to, uh... prove his innocence. what happened? i wavered. and? -and he followed me home... to my son's room... and, uh, begged me for help. and later on, when i wouldn't help him, he threatened me. and had any of them ever followed you home before? no. so you have reason to be afraid. -i'm not afraid. you should be. i had an encounter like the one you describe. it was about 5 years ago. this is the result. -oh, my god. cora. hey. charlie, it's me again. i don't know where you are or why you're not answering my calls, but we need you here. -so if you get this, please, call me back. hey. oh, i see you got your juice and cookies. yeah. what i could really go for is a single malt and cigar. -tell me about it. you still trying to get ahold of charlie? hey, maybe he slept through the call. he never sleeps through calls. okay, well maybe his ringer's off. -mnh-mnh. no way. not since luke was born. this doesn't have anything to do with what we talked about earlier, does it? i really don't want to talk about this right now. -okay, well, for what it's worth, i think charlie's the one exception to that rule. thank you. see you in there. well, you're pretty tough, shelby. -not even a wince. oh, i'm wincing. you're doing great, baby. okay, keep your leg still. is everything okay? -there's some vaginal bleeding. what does... what does that mean? heartbeat is still regular. as soon as imaging's free, -i want to get her up to another ultrasound, okay? what's wrong with her? it could be nothing. what if it's not nothing? it could be partial abruption of the placenta... -maybe from shelby's fall. but i do need to prioritize the leg right now. we will know more when we have the imaging. where the hell is dr. katz? ! -i'm sure she'll be here soon. i need to call her. she needs to know. we're gonna do the surgery with almost no blood and pretty much blind... no imaging at all. -well, it's more exciting than gallbladders. not helping. okay. how about "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king"? all right, i'll bite. -what the hell does that mean? it means we go for it. looky, looky. hey, where did you get those? thank your co-workers and the lab techies working their magic. -hopefully it'll get us through. things are looking up. hey. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. hey! -what are you doing? whoa, you can't be in here. i won't be long. hey! hey! -i need a photo of his face. you need to back off, pal. you are compromising the sterile environment of my patient. who the hell are you, anyway? i am the police. -and your patient is the damn bomber. hey, what's going on in there? how's the stomach? hmm. badly perforated. -gonna have to work on closing up these holes. yeah. i'd add that to his liver and his bowels. how are his lungs doing, sharpe? he's holding up for now. -you know what? i'm gonna have to sacrifice a huge part of this liver, but we can leave enough for it to regenerate. the cop he killed was 23 years old... 3 months in. if you think we're happy giving medical preference to him over an innocent person, you're wrong. just thought you should know. -i took an oath. we all did. we're doing our jobs. and you are welcome to leave if you've got a problem with that. i can't, actually. -my orders are to keep him in my sights at all times. nurse avery, are you all right? my niece was hurt in the bombing. she's at memorial. go assist dr. hamza. -send in another nurse, please. i pray for your niece. as do we. if this kid is who you say he is, i'd like to save his life so he can pay for what he did. -is dr. harris here yet? i don't think so. why? do you need him for the surgery? code blue five, east 64. -code blue five, east 64. geez, it's wall-to-wall in here. yeah. how are you doing? okay. -okay. i mean terrible. although not as terrible as dr. reid. what does that mean? you haven't heard? -she's operating on the bomber. there are cops all over the o.r. i can't even imagine how she's feeling right now. did you just say he's here? in the hospital? -my child might die, and you guys are saving the bastard who did this? he's here? the bomber? that's what she says. whoa. -hey. everyone, we all just need to calm down, okay? thank you. you have got a very, very big mouth. i didn't know. -you didn't know what? that that information would fan an already-out-of-control flame? no, she was just trying to... you stay out of this. if we weren't overwhelmed, you'd be done. -understood? both of you get back to work. not out there. dr. miller, i'm so sorry. not as sorry as you're gonna be if this gets any more out of control. -we managed to divert half a dozen more critical cases to the general. nice. what about the code omega? well, mississauga's coming through big-time. -blood, plasma, albumin should all be here soon. finally, some light at the end of the tunnel. they said he's in the o.r. i know where it is. come on. call security. -word has officially hit the streets. picked a hell of a week to start back. hang in there. imaging's still jammed, dr. lin. hey, did you tell them how concerned i am? -i did. there's just too many other... we don't have any more time. what's wrong? your leg is still oozing blood, shelby. -okay, but that's not my primary concern right now. what is? the placental abruption is causing us problems. your blood won't clot, so i want to deliver the placenta as soon as possible. she needs f.f.p. and platelets immediately. -we're gonna get mrs. hart up to an o.r. now to deliver. do you know what's gonna happen to my baby? we're gonna do everything we can. look, i know you're upset, but if dr. katz was here, she would tell you to do the same. i have to wait for adam. -shelby... maggie's the one who helped you after the bomb went off, right? she pinkie-sweared that the baby and i were gonna be okay. i did? of course i did. -let me keep that promise. let her take you to the o.r. okay, find adam for me, please. after i help dr. lin move you. okay. -okay. well, it looks like the residual liver is holding its own. how's our blood supply, dr. sharpe? i wouldn't dawdle. we're not. -the o.r. is needed. yeah, by his victims. it'd be a tragedy, huh, if one of them were to die while you operated on him? you know what? -you've mastered the sit-in-the-corner part, detective. let's try working on the staying quiet, please. there he is. oh, hell. they know he's here. -hey! hey! hey! take it easy! hey! -hey, hey, hey, hey! i need you all to back off! back off! right now! steady, reid. -you're doing the right thing here. i'm not so sure. i need everyone to calm the hell down right now and back off! you're operating on the bomber when innocent people are hurt! get him out of the o.r.! -you guys are operating on the man who did this? i don't know, shelby. let's go. i am dr. bell! hey! -hey! and i am the chief of surgery here! and you need to back off now! he's a killer. whether or not the person in that room is responsible for today's tragedy is irrelevant. -this is a hospital, not a court of law. going in there and tearing him to pieces is not gonna change anything. it's just gonna make a bad day worse, and nobody here needs that. now, if you have a problem with my decision, you can register a formal complaint. do i make myself clear? -now go. please. i think it's calming down out there. good, 'cause we've got a patient here who needs our focus. you're my hero, reid. -you know that? i think you're alone in that. oh, no. charlie will be proud. let's do this. -the sooner we finish here, the sooner we can make room for the next patient. please, listen to me. i've learned that not all spirits are benign. there are darker ones that are attracted to our negative energy. you're saying it's me? -i'm... i'm the problem? you misunderstand me. how am i misunderstanding you? charlie, please. -no, no, just let her finish. let her explain herself. how am i the problem? if you can't see what we have as a gift, then it can turn into a curse. what kind of gift would threaten my family? -sometimes what we experience comes with a price. yeah, you think i don't know that? charlie. just... medic! -medic! charlie? charlie! charlie, what just happened? i don't know. -what did you see? i don't know. i need to go. charlie, talk to me, please. it's important. -charlie, please. talk to me. i can't, okay? just... not right now. -i just... i wanted you to meet her so you'd know we're not alone in this. look, i get it. i do, okay? i was up half the night, and i just... -what did you see, charlie? nothing. when i touched you, i saw a flash of... things i don't understand. what are you talking about? i did, charlie. -i felt a connection. what does it mean? i don't know. i... what the hell? -what is it? i have to go. we are not gonna be able to close. it's too swollen. let's leave it open. -no doubt we'll be back in there mucking about, given the extent of these injuries. put a temporary covering over the incision, and let's use mesh. we'll sew it in when you're ready. how long you think, dr. reid? the o.r. is almost yours, dev. -great, 'cause we've got a pregnant woman we need to get in here. is that maggie's patient? so, that's him. the guy who set off the bomb. not what you expected, is he? -shelby... you okay? aw, shelby. no, no, no, no, no. what? -what is it? dr. reid's almost finished. okay. her pressure is dropping. i need clotting factors right now. -okay, i'll call down to the lab, get them sent up. okay. i know this is hard. we're gonna be in the o.r. shortly. yeah, after they save the guy who did this to her. -look, no one's picking up in the lab. do you want me to just go get it? no. i know exactly where they are. it's gonna be quicker. -just, as soon as the o.r.'s open, get her in there, okay? sure. got it? okay. all right, let's begin. -is it true that the man who set the bomb off was treated in hope zion? the police have informed me that they have a suspect in custody. beyond that, i can't speculate. was he given treatment ahead of other patients? i've been assured that all of our protocols have been strictly followed, but you're missing the real story here. -i'm so proud of all of the people at hope zion and all of the... the courage and the character that they've demonstrated through this crisis. yes, you're right. character is so important. next question. tell us more about the doctors that were instrumental in helping. -i'll take that. uh, i think we have a great team here. at the head, we've got dr. alex reid... it's what we call it. what? -no thank you? thought i did a pretty good job back there. last time i checked, that's what you get paid for. so, you're welcome. i hear you gave a pretty rousing speech yourself out in front of the o.r. -things were out of control. i stepped in. yeah, moving forward, it's gonna be best for the hospital if you just, uh, keep your mouth shut. good for everyone involved. i just want to get back to work. -i do have to admit, though, dawn, you standing there, looking so pretty, did work to our advantage. stop following me. oh, dawn. dawn, what happened to us? i have nothing more to say to you. -wait, is this 'cause of asha? oh, god. that must be so awkward for you. i get it. i apologize if we've been less than discreet. -i've got my eyes on you. oh, what's that supposed to mean? what do you think it means? i have no idea what that... that... look at that. -there she is... asha. asha's calling. i think i'm gonna take this. see you around, chief. -just let me know when the test comes back, then. oh, dr. lin. yeah? uh, are you all right? yeah, long day. -you're pretty close with dr. miller, right? two peas in a pod. do you think maybe you could put in a good word? i accidentally exposed the identity of the... the bomber, and i'm worried that i might have burnt a major bridge there. okay, i'll see what i can do. -right now i have to get clotting factors for my patient. oh, okay. best way to get back in zach's good books... work harder. thanks. -clean-up, o.r. 7. clean-up, o.r. 7. where are you taking him? to the i.c.u. i'll escort you there. -there's no need, unless you think he's gonna try and escape. no, i think someone might try to kill him, and i wouldn't want you to become collateral damage. let's go, doctor. you can thank me later. hey, where's dr. lin? -i thought she was delivering the baby. she went to get more f.f.p. you ever deliver a baby? technically? no. -okay, you okay if i scrub back in, just till she returns? if you'd like to, dr. bishop. i'm sure she'll be back soon. where is it? come on. -yes. aah! aah. oh! her pressure's dangerously low. -yeah, she is not in good shape. the placenta's got to go... now. should i send someone to look for dr. lin? no, she probably got caught up with another patient, and either way, this can't wait. ready to deliver a baby? -let's do it. good man. good news. our boat's floating on red blood cells. mississauga memorial came through. -great. let's get it up to the o.r. asap and take our junior resident with you. she still in your doghouse? woof. ouch. -zach says you're on blood bag duty. oh, he hates me. no, don't worry. his bark is way worse than his bite. oh. -please. i'm looking for my daughter. she was in the run today. i've already been to half a dozen hospitals already. please. -have you seen my lily? i'm sorry. i haven't. does she have a ring like that? yes. -have you seen her? i'm not sure. let me make some inquiries, and i'll get back to you as soon as i can, okay? oh, thank you. thank you so much. -you got something for him? i really hope i don't. dr. mirani. dr. miller's looking for you. okay. -are you all right? yeah, it's just a lot, you know? you're handling it well. keep up the good work. those look nasty. -have you had them checked out? what? your bruises. did you get those from the explosion? um... -yeah, i guess they are. you don't remember? um... i should get to work. lane didn't have anything to do with those, did he? -dr. bell, i know you and lane had a don't. and you're my boss, so... that's not what this is about. so, then what is it about? -is he hurting you? dr. miller's looking for me, so... i should get to work. how we doing on the o neg situation? hey. -we're actually swimming in it. everybody really stepped up today. code omega's officially over. amen to that. all right, well, let's share the wealth. -send some to mississauga. mm. good call. you should be proud of your staff. i always am. -i know. i just mean today. you know, they really pulled it together. rolled up their sleeves... literally. -just 'cause they wanted some cookies and juice? no. it's because they have a fearless leader they can get behind. it was a great call on the internal blood bank. thanks, chief. -we've got to look after each other, right? right. right. well... i got to go eat a sandwich or something. -i feel like i haven't eaten since tuesday. yes, it is. yes, what is? handcuffing him is necessary. actually, i was wondering how you could be so sure this was him. -he was caught on cctv... that, uh, picture i showed you. he didn't even try to hide the fact that he planted a bomb to kill all those people. who is he? we don't know yet, but we will. -his photo's all over the web. how could anybody do something like this? you having second thoughts about saving his life, dr. reid? i'm needed in the o.r. ironic, putting a guard on his door to keep him safe. -i took an oath, too... whether i like it or not. detective, do you have a minute for an update? uh... sure. -i've ordered additional officers. the suspect's presence here could provoke more violence. understood. okay, thank you for the briefing. yeah. -i don't envy you your job, detective. that's okay. i don't envy you yours. anything else? uh, when this crisis is done, -i'd like to have a word with you on another matter. okay, can i ask you what it's about? a sexual assault. i see. can you give me any more details? -not at this time, no. 24/7. my door's always open. doesn't have to be formal. just a chat, yeah? -yeah. what's her status? shrapnel in the leg wouldn't stop bleeding. placental abruption caused d.i.c., and they're about to deliver now. make sure you get an orthopod in to take a look at that leg. -hey, how are we doing? i'll tell you when we're done. almost at the womb. is charlie back yet? how can i help? -could you take that? maggie. what can i do? where can i help the most? charlie? -maggie. what happened? i don't know. i feel weird. it's because you're a ghost. -it's been a brutal day. first came the bomb. ahh! now comes the fallout. maggie. -what happened? where are you? she's in trouble. page shahir, we need him now! charlie. -go to maggie. now. you need to fight, for your life. part two of an all-new saving hope. girl: -sohere's the crazy thing. invisibility is everywhere. i mean, sure, people tend to focus on the things we can see. like matter, living things. but there's also all this stuff that we can't see. -like sound waves or gasses. anda fewthingswemiss becausethey'rehidden in plain sight. like i said, invisibility is all around us. eveninthemostobvious and familiar places. theseoppositesexist side by side. -theseen... hey, molly! ...andtheunseen. ( indistinct chatter ) andthesamepattern repeats itself. -overandover. thosebright,shinyobjects, they soak up all the attention. whileatthesametime , the invisible objects rightunderournosesdon't. that'sjusttheway things are. ( bell rings ) -wecan'tchangeit. nomatterhowmuch we might want to. atleast, that's what i thought. ( bell rings ) ( indistinct chatter ) -( muffled rock music plays ) ( music stops ) mr. perkins. fancy seeing you here. well, i really hope you were meditating on the marvels of science and not rocking out to fitz and the tantrums again. -oh, well, actually it is the hives today, in honor of those skinny jeans you are only slightly too old to pull off. girl: ah, look at that. not so fast. yeah, i got your pitch for the semester project. -really? turning a papaya into a battery? i've already got seven other kids turning vegetables into batteries. in my defense, papaya's a fruit. mm. -well, your proposal is officially rejected. ( scoffs ) george gets all a's and you're letting him study how a guinea pig reacts to an all-ice cream diet. it gives them terrible gas. yeah, thanks, george. make sure you put that in your report, okay? -(guinea pig passes gas ) that's it, mr. whiskers, no more rocky road for you. i want to see you challenge yourself. do something relevant. maybe something to do with transformation. -this is the same matter in two distinct forms. one state is dense, dull-- much like this conversation. the other is transparent. brilliant. -i'm assigning you a new experiment. figure out what that substance is, then transform it into its crystal state. and how am i supposed to do that? build a homemade spectrometer. yeah. -you're gonna have to do this little thing we in the science community like call science. you think the hives became the hives by shutting out the world and listening to their headphones all day? no. they got out there. all right, my point is you never know what you can accomplish unless you engage the world a little bit. -and as an added incentive, i've decided as of right now, this is worth half your class grade. what? mm-hmm. check out whatever gear you need. -you've got till monday. ( scoffs ) he wants me to make mystery gunk into a crystal. that's impossible. it's not technically impossible. -it's not like "time-travel impossible," or "speed-of-light impossible". it's just... hard. george, why are you wearing clown pants? these are vintage lounge slacks. -they're all the rage in budapest, which is the new paris, by the way. girls dig these pants. at least six girls have noticed them. okay. one girl noticed them. -and that girl was you. just now. ( indistinct chatter ) whoa! nice vampire outfit, freakshow. -but halloween's not till tomorrow. really? "vampire outfit?" is that all you got? is it because of my cape and my pointy teeth? code red, code red! c-dog approaching. -11 o'clock. be cool! what? hey, cleo! carter, my man. -what's the ups? lay the good news on me. how's it going? good. i was just wondering if maybe you wanted to study together -for perkins' next quiz? boy: who is that? all: ( laugh ) no idea. -yeah! yeah, totally. we could be a cliché, how fun. i'm sorry, cliché? the sports guy, asking the nerdy girl for help with his homework. -no. i just thought we could, you know, join forces. uh... okay. i'm going to be in the lab for study hall tomorrow. if you have a change of heart, stop by. -your epic crush just asked you out on a date, and you shut him down. that wasn't a date, george. that was just a crafty jock trying to weasel his way out of doing any actual thinking. no thanks. i'll leave the mindless flirting to my sister. -"awesome city! so the bomb!" molly: cleo! speak of the devil. -hello, car full of beautiful women. school's done. you know what that means. fro-yo. yolo. -oh, no. let's go! yeah! all: ( whooping ) you wanna come with? -yes! no, thanks. i'll pass. darn. come on. -it'll be awesome city, totally the bomb. ( scoffs ) thanks, i'll pass. it's thursday! they're gonna have salted caramel! come on! -yeah. your buddy can come too. this is george, coug. you've met him 400 times. sorry, small dude. -my bad! still a pass. catch you later then, sis. girl: all right, let's go! -all: ( whooping ) come on. i'll give you a ride home. i've got the big scooter today. i made a few modifications to it. -really souped it up. all right! give the coug a paw! ( chuckles ) aw, yes! -( trolley bell dings ) ( scooter engine sputters ) ( backfiring ) ( engine dies ) ( engine grinding ) -man: honey! woman: yes? man: -did you pack my charger? ! it's in your dopp kit. and i printed the boarding passes. man: ( laughs ) there it is! -it was in my dopp kit! woman: yeah. ( pulls zipper ) do they even know you're here yet? -give them a second. oh. hi. we were afraid we were going to miss you. hey, george. -hey, cleo's dad. i'm gonna get whiskers all settled in. i'll see you inside. okay, remember, set the alarm on at night. don't touch the thermostats. -and there are protein shakes if you run out of food. honey, i am so sorry we're gonna miss the big lacrosse game. no worries, dad. there'll be others. but the first game always sets the tone for the season. -the college scouts will be there. ohh! just remember, keep that stick up. stay loose. keep that middle line open and cross if they double team you. -( playful growl ) both: ( chuckle ) and you... stay loose, you know, with your studies and stuff. i'll be sure to do some rigorous stretching before i tackle my homework. -mom: okay. okay. bring it in, team. one, two, three, family! -all: family! mom: ( whoops ) bye, girls. bye. bye, mom. -cleo: bye! molly: bye, guys! oh, i forgot to mention, -i'm having some people over for dinner tonight. molly, you can't. i have to focus on my science project. who's coming over? just a few girls from the lacrosse team. -the whole team. and their boyfriends. and anybody else who wanted to come. ( sighs ) ( loud music ) - ( excited chatter ) -all: ( chanting) hoo! hoo! sad but true! the fightin' owls are hunting for you! does anyone know what goes in meatballs? -meat, babe. huh. ( playful screams ) ( squeaks ) ( muffled music thumping ) -( computer beeps ) ( scoffs ) this is hopeless. i can't even get light to pass through it. did you try diluting it? yes. -( splashing in pool ) i can't believe i've been exiled out of my own house. i don't think you were exiled so much as "gently displaced." you know what i suggest? a break. -we head inside, sample some meatballs, see if maybe one of your sister's teammates has a penchant for shorter, less athletic, but very intelligent, men. you should go, george. go get some food. i'll still be working. you're a good person. -( passes gas ) ( up-temp pop song plays ) i don't mean to brag, but i'm a bit of an athlete myself. i was one of the top lawn bowlers at math camp last summer. you know they call lawn bowling the "gentleman's polo". -i like horses. me too! i love horses! love them! what are your thoughts on guinea pigs? -cleo: let's see what happens if i turn up the heat. ( typing on keyboard ) ( computer beeps ) now we're getting somewhere. -sucrose. how sweet of señor perkins. he gave me sugar. ( chuckles ) shoo! -get out of here. ahh! ahh! oh! ( grunts ) -uh... move! damn! ( panting ) ( grunts ) -( alarm beeping ) had a little oven-temperature misfire, but all good now! cleo: coming through! excuse me for just one second. -hey, what's going on? george, i made a moth disappear! ooh! ooh! what? -! i know this sounds impossible, but it's true. i don't see it! where is it? do you see that? -uh... not really. thanks for coming, guys. get some rest. we have a big day tomorrow. no! -no, no, no! no! ( panting ) bye, guys. on the bright side, the lacrosse girls dug me. -i got a bunch of digits. you got no digits. i got no digits. but i did enter my number into nikki's phone while she wasn't looking. that's something. -both: ( chuckle ) i made a moth invisible. you believe me, right? i believe... you probably should get to sleep. i'll see you tomorrow. -ugh. ( alarm beeping ) ahhhh! molly? molly, are you okay? -molly: where am i? ! uh, you're in the bathroom. molly: -no, i'm not. i'm gone. what do you mean, you're gone? um... molly? -molly, where did you go-- molly: exactly! ( startled gasp ) molly: -where did i go? i don't know! i don't know where i went! cleo! ahh! -i'm not in the toilet! ( whimpering ) molly: this is just a bad dream. wake up, molly! -wake up! okay. there. now, i'm going to remove this towel and be awake and everything will be totally normal. molly: -ahhhh! ahhh! what are you doing? calling for help! and what are you going to tell them, molly? -i don't know! that i've disappeared? i'm invisible? i can't see myself? ( sighs ) you're right. -they're gonna think i'm a crazy person. okay. this is going to sound insane, but i think my experiment spread to you. what are you talking about? ! -i made a moth invisible last night. you what? ! i was working on a sugar solution and then i just spilled a bunch of chemicals into the mixture and then a moth flew through steam and it became invisible. did it land on you or touch or did you swallow it? -you're asking me if i swallowed an invisible moth? actually, there was something. something in the bathroom in my water. it was really weird. it was sorta bug-like. -gross. the bathroom window was open? yeah. i think so. okay, so what if the moth was attracted to the light and then it flew into the room and then fell into your water? -where i accidentally drank it? are you kidding me? ! i accidentally drank your invisible science project moth and now i'm invisible too? -! ( knocking ) the coug: hello? happy halloween, everyone! -( stomach growls ) oh, man! yo, next time the coug says he's gonna eat 26 meatballs, you tell him that's too many meatballs. oh, no. your boyfriend's here. -oh. hey, cleo. hi, coug. you're... a bear. sure am. -didn't molly tell you? we're all going as a big wizard of oz team costume. i'm the cowardly bear. it's a lion. what's a lion? -the cowardly...? never mind. uh, is molly ready to roll? um, no, she is sick. and she's in the bathroom. -and you can't see her. oh, no. was it the meatballs? molls? babe? -are you okay? molly: ( muffled ) oh, not really. cleo's right. i'm really sick. you're our dorothy! -let me take a look at you-- no! i'm very contagious! nobody can see me. literally. -go, coug. save yourself. quick! go! quick! -( gasps ) bye! bye. i guess. bye. -( exhales ) wow, molly, your boyfriend. two words: "cowardly bear." molly: ( sighs ) can we maybe not mock my boyfriend right now and instead focus on the crisis at hand? -okay. you're invisible. how and why are you invisible? you tell me. i don't know. -if it spread through your body this fast, it's extremely soluble. it should only take a few hours. a few hours? ! i think. -i hope. okay, listen, molly, i have to get to school and figure this whole thing out. and what am i supposed to do? just lay low. call in sick. -i can't! i can't miss school today! wait. it's halloween. really, molly? -i think your friends can survive halloween without dorothy. you don't understand. today is the first game of the season. if i don't go to all my classes, i can't play. this is what you're concerned about, lacrosse? -college scouts will be at that game. this is my only chance for them to see me. and my teammates are counting on me. i can't let them down. i can work with this. -maybe with a little make-up and some gloves. cleo! the invisibility must... spread. so i anything that i touch will gradually become invisible too? ! -i don't know, molly. yes? so there's absolutely no way i can un-invisible myself? i have an idea. what? -yup. we're the same height, we sound the same, we'd have the same skin tone if you ever learn to moisturize. this could totally work. this is insane. there is no way i'm going to pull off pretending to be you. -i'll be there coaching you. ( scoffs ) come on, molly. even with the hair and the makeup, i'm still me. a mask, really? -dorothy didn't wear a mask. we're in new orleans. just say you're mardi gras dorothy. mardi gras dorothy? yeah. -from a big munchkin town parade float, with munchkins giving beads and stuff. look, i've gotta go to school today. so you've gotta get me through this. get your science gear and do whatever it is you need to do to figure this out. just please help me get through my day until i can be seen again, okay? -besides, you look totally cute. fine. give me your car keys. what? molly, you're invisible. -you can't drive. well, you can't drive either. you don't have a license! ( car engine starts ) this is crazy. -what if we get pulled over? how do we explain this? molly: relax. it's going to be fine. -sorry. just talking to my invisible sister. she's a really amazing driver. molly: see? -she probably thought this was one of those self-driving cars. ( boat blows horn ) ( up-tempo pop song ) this is never going to work. dorothy should've made better life choices. -"oh, there's a tornado coming. i'm gonna go put on my party clothes." come on, you'll be fine. ( grunts ) don't walk like you. -walk like me. stand up straight. look more cheerful. wave. girl 1: -hi, molly. girl 2: hey, molly. girl 3: hey, molly. -molly: see? this is totally working. group: hi, molly! -okay, here's the real test. if nikki buys this, everyone will. okay, act natural. but... act like me. act like natural me. -molly? yes. oh, molls! i'm so glad you're here! i thought you were sick. -uh, yeah, i am still very sick. oh. but i'm a bit better and i'm still quite pale and my voice is a bit different. but, you know, nikki, it's okay. -awesome city, right? i love the mask. the mask. uh, right. well, i am mardi gras dorothy. -hmm, cute. molls, i'm totally freaking out. arianna burmeister is also out sick, so that means i'm totally in charge of romp the swamp tonight. and i don't know what to do or if we have enough decorations. please, just tell me everything's gonna be okay. -that actually sounds awful nikki, but i would just cancel. ( gasps ) are you okay? uh, i am fine. i just have a little neck twitch this morning, -but it is okay. (laughs softly ) molls, you're here. but i thought you were sick. she got better. -hey, that's great! give the coug some sugar. no. no, that is eww. um, i am very contagious. -so i will see you around. bye. molls? did i do something wrong? um, no, no. -it's-it's my disease. ( cell phone rings ) hey, george. george: you'renotatschool? -no. i'm-i'm really sick. your sister's here. she's like some freaky carnival milkmaid zorro. hey, molly! -uh, yeah. yep. she is mardi gras dorothy. she looks totally smokin'. what? -eww. ( scoffs ) george, can you please just cover for me today in perkins' class? you got it. cleo: all right, molly, we have to go get to the lab. -no. first period is starting. i can't be late. and what class is it, molly? intro to conformity? -intro to geometry, room 42. come on. c-minus? molly, if you needed help with line segments, you could've just asked. right, because you're always so... warm and supportive. -okay. i have to go get to study hall so i can get a big compound microscope so i can figure this whole thing out. actually, i'll grab it for you. you have to get to pep circle. pep what? -( awkward laugh ) both: (laugh softly) that was weird. a thing we do on game days. just bonding and trust-building. -it's a pre-game ritual... that you are leading. ( applause ) - (cheers ) all: ( chanting ) trust! teamwork! fellowship! -pride! a team united can't be denied! whoo! who puts the pep in pep circle? all: -we do! please don't make me do this. molly! you made it! all: -molly! i've warmed us up. we're totally ready for you to take over. oh, well, that's just great. um, so let's just go straight into the first thing then -which is the... group hug! or we can skip the first thing! okay... oh. -oh. ( grunts ) next thing on the agenda. the circle of trust. right. so let's circle up and do some trust. -nikki: you can have the bunny. the bunny? the bunny of truth. well, the bunny of truth. -um, nikki, could you please remind us all what the rules are of truth bunnying? whoever holds the bunny gets to safely say something true and meaningful to clear the air before the game. ( soft laugh ) well, then nikki should start us off. oh, okay. -um... okay, i'm so grateful to be on a team with all of you. if i am strong, it's only because i'm surrounded by such strong women. and i'm especially grateful for molls. she's always there. -no matter how crazy my life gets, she gives me the friendship and support i need. she's an amazing friend and captain. all: yeah! thank you. -i also want to say one more quick bunny truth, and that is that i'm really mad at the people who invented weather apps because don't you wanna wake up every morning and be surprised at what the weather is? ! all: ( laugh ) yeah. your turn. well, my truth is that i am so grateful to be sitting down because this dress is a serious chaffing hazard. -all: ( murmur ) okay. now for your... emotional truth. my emotional truth. -that would probably have to be that i am fine. i am great. thank you, nikki. molly, this is your safe place. -you can trust us. we love you. all: ( agreeing ) my truth would be... i'm not the girl that everybody thinks i am. -i'm not the beautiful shining star that everybody suspects. i'm actually more of the person that nobody notices, or nobody pays attention to. but... this is probably why i'm so uncomfortable here. ( uncomfortable laugh ) but, guys, this is- this is all in my head. -right? because i'm awesome city molly. i mean, the bomb. anyway, that's my truth, which is actually, weirdly, true. ( indistinct chatter ) -( door opens ) i think that deserves another group hug! um, okay. all right. yep, yep. -love you too, okay. ( squeaks, then passes gas ) george: carter. my hombre. -how's the guinea pig? still farting like a chainsaw. i can't figure out why. because there's talmitic acid in the ice cream. it's reacting with ascorbic acid and turning it into a fat. -ascorbyl palmitate. they can't metabolize the fat, so you end up with the flatulence. how'd you know that? i was a governor's scholar in chemistry last year. -george: really? a governor's scholar in chemistry? that's, like, crazy amazing. how about we keep it between us? -you know, it's not really something i like to advertise. hey. do you know if cleo was planning on showing up? i'm sorry, man. she's actually sick today. -but i know she might've maybe wanted to be here, maybe. can i ask you something? what's cleo's deal? whenever i talk to her, it's like, you know... and she's kind of... -never mind. it's cool. uh, good luck with the guinea pig. ( indistinct chatter and sighs ) this is actually amazing. -oh! okay! gotta go, guys. bye. girl: -molly? all: ( murmuring ) what are you doing? did you get the microscope? forget about that! -some really cute guy in the science lab was asking for you! oh, that's just carter. "just carter?" he's super cute and totally into you! no, molly. i'm not the kind of girl that... guys like carter are ever actually into. -come on. there's only one way to find out. no. don't you think we have bigger things to worry about right now? i'm not going to go meet carter, okay? -that's final. now if you'll excuse me, i have a massage circle to lead. aah! meatballs! -meatballs! ( stomach gurgles loudly ) ohh, coming through! coming through! coming through! -mayday! meatballs! ( gurgling continues ) lots of meatballs! ( grunting ) why did i eat so many meatballs? -! watch my fur, dudes. ( stall door shuts ) ( exhales ) here goes nothing. -you can do this, molly. just hold your breath, get in and get out. gross. uh... is there a chick in here? molly: ( deep voice ) no. -it's me, a dude. in the stall. doing my dude things. mmm. ( door closes ) -molly: carter! uh, yes? it's me! cleo! -sorry, who? you're-- i'm cleo! cleo! you showed? -yep! sure did! i thought you were--- molly: sick? -yes. i was. but now i'm feeling much better. and you're in costume. you hate costumes. -yeah, i know, but i'm working on this thing where i'm trying to relax more and be less judgmental and uptight. george: are you sure you're okay? you don't really seem like yourself. those pants look ridiculous on you. -there's the cleo i know and love. so, hi. we're hanging out. yeah, i guess we are. this is great. -i'm really psyched. you are? i know. i've probably been confusing in the past. a little grouchy, right? -mean, even. but let's just put all that behind us. focus on the now. maybe get to know each other. tell me about yourself. -what kind of stuff does carter groove to? ( gasps ) oh, no. oh. uh... actually, i have to run. -but maybe we could go out sometime, like in a non-study setting. like a real date. wait a second, i-- i'm not sure i'm hearing you correctly in that suit. are you asking me out? -yeah. i am. what? is that weird? honestly, coming from you, a little. -a lot, actually. what are you doing tonight? tonight? um, i'm volunteering at the school fundraiser. romp the swamp? -that's my favorite event of the year! i'll see you there tonight. it's a date. both: ( grunt ) coug! -watch where you're going! it's not the coug! molly? what are you doing? so, you didn't miss your study date with carter after all. -what? i figured out a way to pretend to be you. you what? ! yeah. -the bear costume was thick enough, so it didn't turn invisible. well, at least, not right away. anyways, i got you a real date. he's working at romp the swamp tonight. at least, i think it's a date. -honestly, it was a little hard to communicate, being in the bear suit. oh my! bear. with no head. headless bear. -oh, no. molly? what's happening? i'm cleo. no. -you're molly. no. that's molly. no. that's a headless bear. -or an armless bear? torso-less bear? okay, i'm kind of losing my mind right now. george, calm down. remember how i made a moth invisible last night? -yeah. cleo: well, it flew into molly's drink and now she's invisible. say something. molly: -hi, george. how are you? fine. are you okay, molly? molly: -i'm good. this is amazing. and very scary. the coug: who stole my bear costume? -molly: oh, gotta hide! molly! wow, you are a sight for sore eyes. oh, hey, little guy. -george. of course. someone stole my bear costume. just right out of the bathroom. any of you guys seen it? -um, no. nope, coug. i haven't seen a thing. but it was so great talking to you. awesome city. -um, i have to leave. ( stammers ) so do you think, in exchange for me being cool and keeping all this a secret, you might put in a good word for me with your friend nikki? molly: you like nikki? -! that's so adorable! nikki's a sweetheart. she likes nice guys. just be yourself around her. -yeah, i find the whole "being myself" approach never really works out for me. just give her a chance. she might surprise you. molly eastman? yep, that's me. -yeah, i'm mr. perkins. your sister's in my science class. oh. well, i have heard a lot about you. uh, can i talk to you for a minute? -sure. yeah, uh, listen, i know your sister stayed home sick today. yeah, she's really, really sick, mr. perkins. she has to stay home. yeah. -the, uh, thing is, i went all angry teacher on her yesterday and i told her, well, she'd fail my class if she didn't deliver on her science project. i just want to make sure that she's okay. that the science project isn't the reason she's staying home. she's okay. -yeah. she is actually doing a lot more than you expected. a lot more. i'm pretty sure she's gonna blow you mind. okay, that is great to hear. -see, i knew she had it in her. thanks. your sister is one of the brightest kids that's ever sat in my class. she's got this potential inside her. you know, i think she could do great things in this world if she wanted to. -if she would just get out of her own way. yeah. um, if she were here, she would want me to tell you that she really doesn't want to disappoint you. well, tell her to feel better. -it was good talking to you. come on. ( gasps ) yes! ( bell rings ) ( up-tempo pop song plays ) - ( excited chatter ) -molly: cleo, shouldn't i have at least started turning visible by now? cleo: ( sighs ) yes. which is exactly why we need to go home so we can figure this whole thing out. molly: -wait. we're not going home now. but school's over. molly: and the most important part of the day is starting. -which is? molly: lacrosse. making me visible is gonna have to wait. i... ( groans ) -all: ( cheering ) male announcer: all right, everyone. five minutes until game time. don't forget to buy your go fighting owls t-shirts. -i think i'm gonna sit this one out. i don't think so. molly, i cannot do this. i am going to get creamed out there. you'll be fine. -that's easy for you to say. what? you think this is easy for me? i'm terrified every game. i can hardly sleep the night before. -i have to drink ginger fizz just to untie the knots in my stomach. well, then why do you do it? well... i like being on a team. when everyone's around me, my nerves settle. -i don't feel alone. it's like, when i'm part of something bigger than myself, it makes me better. hmm. hey. -you can do this. i'll be there with you, telling you exactly what to do. ( panting ) you ready to rumble, molls? we've gotta rock it, today. uh, yeah, rock it! -totally. okay, bring it in! bring it in! woman: bring it in, ladies! -all right, everyone. go fighting owls! all: ( cheer ) ( whistle blows ) okay,highschoolsportsfans . -it's the moment you've all been waiting for. it'sgametime! all: ( chanting ) owls! owls! owls! -owls! molly: your stick's upside down. duly noted. molly, move up! -you're running the wrong way! come on, come on, come on! come on! yes! ( groans ) -all: ( groan ) wow, slow and painful start for the fighting owls. let'ssee if they can recover. it's okay, it's okay. should somebody call an ambulance? -( panting ) you okay? that hurt more than anything in my entire life has hurt. all right, come on. get up. sure, just let me try and start breathing first. -molly, what's wrong with you? it's like you've never held a stick before! uh, it must just be my cold. ( coughs ) hey, listen to me. -this is my whole life, here. those college scouts are my future. i can't lose today. ( up-tempo pop song plays ) i've got an idea. -( crowd cheers ) you got this, guys! ( whistles blows ) male announcer: and the visitors win another draw. -( music continues ) - ( blow lands ) ( groans ) great attack by the... wind? go! come on, come on! -power forward molly eastman. whoo! we're seeing some of her trademark wizardry out there with that ball. girl: pass it! -( uhh ) ( whistle blows ) just like that, owlsarerightback in this one, folks! coug: -yeah! way to go, molly! the fighting owls have really picked up steam. come on, molly! ( music continues ) -they'vegotthevisitors totally off-balance. literally. ( groans ) ( grunts ) go! -go! ( whistle blows ) yeah! whoo! ( whistle blows ) -( whistle blows ) this has been a very strong push by the visitors. they'veclearlygot their sea legs back. ( whistle blows ) wh-- -come on! come on! ( whistle blows ) we're all tied up! time out! -( whistle blows ) refreshment? thanks. you know, there's some really complicated physics in lacrosse. i'm available for a one-on-one consultation anytime. -what makes this drink so blue? huh, you got me there. ( panting ) how you doing? i can't play. -i just can't. i can't even feel my legs. please, cleo, this is it-- all or nothing. molly: see over there? -this is my future, cleo. i need this. all right, guys, everybody bring it in. uh, good luck. thanks, thanks. -okay, bye. okay, guys, i know you are exhausted. i'm exhausted and in pain. a lot of pain. and i mean a lot of pain. -( laughter ) but there is this thing i always say, which is when you're part of something bigger than yourself, it makes you better. that's what a team means. so let's get out there and have each others' backs, okay? all: -yeah! you guys, we can do this. right? all: yeah! -all right, all in. one, two, three... all: owls! nice job. -i don't know how you do this every week. announcer (over p.a.): what an absolute classic. we'realltiedup, 30 seconds left. timeforonemoreplay . -crowd: owls! owls! owls... announcer: -what a pass by the owls! i can't get to the goal, cleo. it's all you, you got this. go, molly! crowd: -molly! molly! molly... announcer: molly eastman is now one on one with the keeper. -( whistle blows ) announcer: goal! molly eastwood scores! she did it! -announcer: and the fighting owls win 8-7! you did it! ( all cheering ) crowd: -molly! molly! molly... cleo: hold the slide steady so i can figure out what's going on with your cells. -okay, getting focused here. there's a nuclear membrane. wait. molly: wait what? -is that a good wait or a bad wait? your body, your cells, they aren't metabolizing the compound. that sounds like a bad wait. why is this even happening? the original sugar solution must be turning into a fat and getting stuck in her cells. -so what does that mean? we have to figure out how to neutralize the solution before her body could fully absorb it, or-- or the invisibility will become permanent. what? i thought you said this was temporary. -it takes the human body 24 hours to fully digest something. right. okay, so when did you swallow the moth? last night at midnight. george: -that means we have until midnight to find an antidote. or she becomes invisible forever. but where do we start? i don't even remember what i spilled into the last solution. so that's what we do first. -we redo your experiment. someplace where we can fully analyze it. a real lab. like the one at school. okay, we'll start with a basic sugar solution and keep adding chemicals until we get the right combination. -exactly. we'll know we got it right when the moth vanishes. we'll catch a moth. you head to school and start setting up the lab. go, fighting owls! -yeah, this probably wasn't the right context for that. molly: where are we going to find a moth before midnight? cleo: come on. -i know the perfect place. cool. a cemetery on halloween! great. the key to catching a moth is to be in the darkest place... ( strikes match ) ...with the brightest light. -moth... cleo: this is crazy. where are all the moths? molly: -here, mothy. here, mothy mothy mothy. cleo: they're not cats, molly. molly: -whatever. cleo? it's no big deal, moths. must have just been the wind. i can get this back on in no time. -cleo! can you see me? yeah. it's nice to almost see your face again. am i getting better? -no, you're not. it's just the night mist glistening in the moonlight. i'm scared, cleo. me too. but it's gonna be okay. -molly: look! molly: i got this. molly, i don't think this is a good idea. -we don't have a choice, cleo. this moth may be my only hope. please be careful, molly. i'm getting closer. come on, moth! -almost got it. almost there. hold on! come on, moth! ohh! -i lost it! ( both scream ) ( coughs ) molly, are you okay? ( molly grunting ) -no! i am not okay! i am very much not okay. i am in a cemetery, at night, soaking wet, covered in swamp ooze, and now i'm gonna be invisible forever. we still have time. -just forget about it. we can't. we can't forget about it. we can't give up. maybe we should just go home, leave all the lights on, -and try to draw a moth in. and then what? you can reverse the invisibility? for sure? because as far as i can tell, you really have no idea what's actually happening to me. -i'm done. i'm done with your science and your judgments and your sarcasm. i'm done with all of it. come on, molly. this isn't you. -you're supposed to be the positive one. just leave me alone. if i'm gonna be invisible forever and have my life completely ruined, i want to face it alone. you of all people can relate to that. -come on, molly. molly? molly! come on! come back! -molly! molly? i don't know if you can hear me or not, but if you can... i'm sorry. i'm sorry about the sarcasm. -i'm sorry about everything. it's just not easy... being your sister. you've got this thing... this light. everyone is drawn to you. -and it's hard sometimes... because... the truth is... that i've always wanted to have that. and when... i didn't... it was much easier... to blame you...for feeling invisible. so... i pushed you away... and...everything... everything away. -i should have come for froyo. molly: you can come for froyo next time. molly, you're here. i'm here, sis. -he never saw me comin'. it's almost nine. we only have a few hours until midnight. hopefully george has gotten everything set up in the lab. molly: -that would be great. oh. oh! ohh. ohh. -( streetcar bell dings ) did you mean what you said back there? about always feeling invisible? i'm sorry. i had no idea. -i get now how rough that would have been. he funny thing is, 've always been envious of you. me? because you're a genius. you get straight a's with your eyes closed. -i kill myself and barely pass. you have other things going for you. like what? lacrosse? popularity? -both are pretty useless after high school. molly... that light i was talking about, it isn't because you're friendly or pretty or a good athlete, it's because... you make those around you happy. you see what they need, and you make them better. it's like the best kind of smart. you really think so? -i know so. i've been you all day. okay, there's just enough time to go home and get changed before we meet george at school. finally! where have you guys been? -the building's locked. i don't know how we're gonna get inside. leave it to me. i have an idea. that is why i do kung fu. -i'm a black belt. well, a brown belt. oh, okay, i'm a yellow belt. but i am a very advanced yellow belt. ( knock on door ) -let me call you back. hello? anybody out here? ( whoosh ) huh? -molly: boo! aah... no, no, no, no, no, no! let's add a little more sodium... -okay, we got it. good. let's analyze it so we can figure out how to make an antidote. i don't understand. the solution's complex. -this is heavy organic chemistry. so now what? we have to find someone who can sort through this. someone who knows what all that means. who? -a governor scholar at chemistry. believe it or not, it's carter. what? it's true. i heard him talk about a bunch of crazy science stuff with george. -trust me, if anyone can help us, it's him. and i know just where to find him. ( dance music playing ) molly: carter said he's volunteering tonight. -he's gotta be in there somewhere. what's wrong. if i go in there, then carter's going to know i like him. and i do. and he likes you too. -we don't know that, molly. if a girl like me lets on she likes a guy like him, then he usually ends up laughing in her face. if he did that, he'd miss out on the best thing that ever happened to him. no outside food or drinks school rules still apply. -what are you thinking? coug: cleo? oh, no. um, hi, coug. -is your sister around? no, she's not, but we really have to go. wait, wait. i just really need to know. is molly dumping me? -no, no, she's just really busy. you don't have to protect me, cleo. she's avoiding me. i mean, she loves romp the swamp. she'd never miss it. -would you just tell her one thing? tell her i just want her to be happy. that's all i've ever wanted. and if she's happier without me, then i can learn to live with that. somehow. -( sobbing ) the coug's okay. he's not crying. ( coug sobbing ) coug... -i've never been the biggest fan of yours, but i was wrong. hmm? molly's really lucky to have you. and if you'll just give me a second, she'll be back. i just miss her so badly. -molly: i miss you too, coug. molly? i'm not breaking up with you. i'm right here. -i'm just invisible. like you can't be hurt? no, that's "invincible", babe. i'm "invisible". i can't be seen. -this is very confusing. oh... oh! molly, it is you! oh, i missed you too. -thank you for not dumping me. whoa, whoa, wait. you're invisible? wait, what? how? -this is completely crazy! coug, i'll explain later, but if we don't find carter now and make molly visible in less than an hour, you're going to go to prom with an invisible girlfriend. which won't make for great couples pictures. right? right. -okay, let's split up. i'm gonna go to the yard, and you go into the house, and we'll meet in the barn at the end, okay? okay, yeah. let's go. ( thunder, screams playing ) -have you seen carter anywhere? have you seen a guy named carter? uh-uh. you go in there. i'm gonna go this way. -oh, uh, excuse me, do you know where carter is? soccer player, about this tall, luscious curls? george, have you seen molly? uh, "seeing" is really the tricky word there. we're out of snacks, the bowl of fake eyeballs turned mushy, the smoke machine ran out of whatever makes it make smoke. -molly is supposed to be here. this is a complete disaster. nikki? yeah? it's not a disaster. -this is the greatest haunted house fundraiser ever. really? definitely. oh, are you having a good time? see? -she's happy, and she doesn't even have a head. you're doing a great job. thanks. you're a really... really nice guy, george. thanks. -you're nice too. maybe we could hang out sometime? i'd like that. uh, great. to be continued. -see you soon. carter! ( sighs ) can you guys give us a sec? hey... you're here. -you're late, but here. and you're not in costume. um, no. costume? your bear costume? -um... no. can i ask you something? what's up with you? i mean, generally, you're kind of standoffish. -today you're actually nice to me, and now you barely even bother to show up. carter, i'm so sorry about the weirdness. the truth is... i have always wanted to hang out with you. and i never thought that you would want to ever hang out with me. -what are you wearing? uh, i'm-- i'm honey. honey? yeah, you know, i thought, 'cause, you know, with your bear costume, i'd- i'd be honey. -'cause, you know, bears and honey are-- they're kind of a... thing. i- i literally spent all afternoon gluing felt. but, you know, since you're not in costume, -i- i may have overthought this a little bit. i really want to talk to you about this, and i want to talk to you about a lot of things. but right now, i really need your help. what is it? -you should just not see for yourself. it's just over here in the barn. isn't the barn off-limits? carter. hey. -hello. what's going on? okay, here we go. hey, carter. whoa, carter, carter, carter... -wow, this is a sophisticated solution. but i think i can work out an antidote. the problem is we only have 45 minutes. 'cause at midnight, we're toast. the tricky part is after we create the antidote, we need to distill its steam. -of course. the steam is what turned the moth invisible, so that's what molly needs to drink. but how? we don't have time to get to the lab. we can make a homemade still. -all we need are a few simple components. hey, sorry, fire code violation, gotta take this. cleo: a heat source... some tubing... sounds better without these notes. -cleo: ... and a funnel of some kind. carter: ok, so now that we've created the antidote, all we need to do is boil it... then distill its steam... so that molly can drink it before midnight. okay, here we go. -it's almost midnight. we've got 40 seconds. molly: is it working? just one drop... and another one. -this is gonna take forever. 30 seconds. oh, come on, boil faster! perkins (banging on door): hey! -open the door, people. it's perkins. ignore him. perkins: whoever's in there better come out, or you're gonna meet my good friend, -mr. detention! less than 20 seconds. come on, work, you stupid machine. perkins: come on. -what's going on in there? ( clock chiming ) okay, molly, this should be enough. drink it. perkins: -seriously, open up! people, your actions have consequences. molly: i have to do something for you first. what are you doing? -molly: it'll just take a second. you kids are in some serious trouble! mr. perkins, it's molly. cleo turned me invisible for her science project. -you have to know how special she is. ( clock chiming ) oh, no. molly, what did you do? molly: -i had to make sure mr. perkins knew, cleo. you did something amazing the world had to see. we missed the deadline. molly: it was a risk i was willing to take for you. -molly, i'll never see your beautiful face again? that's okay, we can still have a life together. maybe even with little half-invisible kids someday. so you actually did this? you really turned your sister invisible. -i- i- okay, i can't get my mind around-- around this. uh... no, no, we can't give up. -there has to be something else that we can do. your calculations were conservative. there should have been enough time, it should have worked. well, then, there's something we're missing. molly, did you eat anything weird last night? -meatballs. huh? the meatballs. wait, you had a game the next day. you were nervous. -ginger fizz. molly: i drank some with the moth. then that's what we're missing. its acidity must have impacted the solution somehow. -do you have any on you? molly: i never leave the house without it. ( liquid hissing ) drink it. -molly: hey, no matter what happens, i really liked spending the day with you. me too. all: ( cheering ) -( "brand new day" by joshua radin playing ) it's nice to see your face again. it's good to see you, too. i think the coug needs to blow off some steam. molly! -finally! hey! nikki: where's your costume? hi, nikki! -wow. you finally took your headphones off, cleo. you did some real science. maybe a little too real. listen, i chaired the new orleans association of applied scientists. -would you please come and present your findings with us next month? yeah! yeah? all right. thank you. -hey. look, i know it's been a crazy night. but- and i'm dressed as honey. but do you want to dance? -yes. cleo: so as i was saying, invisibility is everywhere. butasit turnsout , thelinebetweenvisible and invisible, itisn'tthatwide. ( applause and cheers ) -cleo: transformation from one state to another isindeedpossible. i know now that visible things can disappear andinvisiblethings can finally be seen. cleo: crossingthisline between invisible and visible iseasierthanyou think. -cleo: whatpeoplesee whattheyreallysee ... ( no audio ) ...visibleorinvisible... andwebecomevisible whenwearenot afraid to show the world whowereallyare . so here's the crazy thing. invisibility is everywhere. -i mean, sure, people tend to focus on the things we can see. like matter, living things. but there's also all this stuff that we can't see. like sound waves or gasses. and a few things we miss because they're hidden in plain sight. -like i said, invisibility is all around us. even in the most obvious and familiar places. these opposites exist side by side. the seen... hey, molly! -...and the unseen. and the same pattern repeats itself. over and over. those bright, shiny objects, they soak up all the attention. while at the same time, the invisible objects right under our noses don't. -that's just the way things are. we can't change it. no matter how much we might want to. at least, that's what i thought. mr. perkins. -fancy seeing you here. well, i really hope you were meditating on the marvels of science and not rocking out to fitz and the tantrums again. oh, well, actually it is the hives today, in honor of those skinny jeans you are only slightly too old to pull off. ah, look at that. not so fast. -yeah, i got your pitch for the semester project. really? turning a papaya into a battery? i've already got seven other kids turning vegetables into batteries. in my defense, papaya's a fruit. -mm. well, your proposal is officially rejected. george gets all a's and you're letting him study how a guinea pig reacts to an all-ice cream diet. it gives them terrible gas. yeah, thanks, george. -make sure you put that in your report, okay? that's it, mr. whiskers, no more rocky road for you. i want to see you challenge yourself. do something relevant. maybe something to do with transformation. -this is the same matter in two distinct forms. one state is dense, dull... much like this conversation. the other is transparent. brilliant. -i'm assigning you a new experiment. figure out what that substance is, then transform it into its crystal state. and how am i supposed to do that? build a homemade spectrometer. yeah. -you're gonna have to do this little thing that we in the science community like call science. you think the hives became the hives by shutting out the world and listening to their headphones all day? no. they got out there. all right, my point is you never know what you can accomplish unless you engage the world a little bit. -and as an added incentive, i've decided as of right now, this is worth half your class grade. what? mm-hmm. check out whatever gear you need. -you've got till monday. he wants me to make mystery gunk into a crystal. that's impossible. it's not technically impossible. it's sound like "time-travel impossible," -or "speed-of-light impossible". it's just... hard. george, why are you wearing clown pants? these are vintage lounge slacks. they're all the rage in budapest, which is the new paris, by the way. -girls dig these pants. at least six girls have noticed them. okay. one girl noticed them. and that girl was you. -just now. whoa! nice vampire outfit, freakshow. but halloween's not till tomorrow. really? "vampire outfit?" is that all you got? -is it because of my cape and my pointy teeth? code red, code red! c-dog approaching. 11 o'clock. be cool! -what? hey, cleo! carter, my man. what's the ups? lay the good news on me. -how's it going? good. i... i was just wondering if maybe you wanted to study together for perkins' next quiz? -who is that? no idea. yeah! yeah, totally. we could be a cliché, how fun. -i'm sorry, cliché? the sports guy, asking the nerdy girl for help with his homework. no. i just thought we could, you know, join forces. uh... okay. -i'm going to be in the lab for study hall tomorrow. if you have a change of heart, stop by. your epic crush just asked you out on a date, and you shut him down. that wasn't a date, george. that was just a crafty jock trying to weasel his way out of doing any actual thinking. -no thanks. i'll leave the mindless flirting to my sister. "awesome city! so the bomb!" cleo! -speak of the devil. hello, car full of beautiful women. school's done. you know what that means. fro-yo. -yolo. oh, no. let's go! yeah! you wanna come with? -yes! no, thanks. i'll pass. darn. come on. -it'll be awesome city, totally the bomb. thanks, i'll pass. it's thursday! they're gonna have salted caramel! come on! -yeah. your buddy can come too. this is george, coug. you've met him 400 times. sorry, small dude. -my bad! still a pass. catch you later then, sis. all right, let's go! come on. -i'll give you a ride home. i've got the big scooter today. i made a few modifications to it. really souped it up. all right! -give the coug a paw! aw, yes! honey! yes? did you pack my charger? -! it's in your dopp kit. and i printed the boarding passes. there it is! it was in my dopp kit! -yeah. do they even know you're here yet? give them a second. oh. hi. -we were afraid we were going to miss you. hey, george. hey, cleo's dad. i'm gonna get whiskers all settled in. i'll see you inside. -okay, remember, set the alarm on at night. don't touch the thermostats. and there are protein shakes if you run out of food, ok? honey, i am so sorry we're gonna miss the big lacrosse game. no worries, dad. -there'll be others. yeah. but the first game always sets the tone for the season. college scouts will be there. ohh! -just remember, keep that stick up. stay loose. keep that middle line open and cross if they pickup a team. and you... stay loose, you know, with your studies and stuff. -i'll be sure to do some rigorous stretching before i tackle my homework. okay. okay. bring it in, team. one, two, three, family! -family! bye, girls. bye. bye, mom. bye! -bye, guys! oh, i forgot to mention, i'm having some people over for dinner tonight. molly, you can't. i have to focus on my science project. -who's coming over? just a few girls from the lacrosse team. the whole team. and their boyfriends. and anybody else who wanted to come. -hoo! hoo! sad but true! the fightin' owls are hunting for you! does anyone know what goes in meatballs? -meat, babe. huh. this is hopeless. i can't even get light to pass through it. did you try diluting it? -yes. i can't believe i've been exiled out of my own house. i don't think you were exiled so much as "gently displaced." you know what i suggest? a break. -we head inside, sample some meatballs, see if maybe one of your sister's teammates has a penchant for shorter, less athletic, but very intelligent, men. you should go, george. go get some food. i'll still be working. you're a good person. -i don't mean to brag, but i'm a bit of an athlete myself. i was one of the top lawn bowlers at math camp last summer. you know they call lawn bowling the "gentleman's polo". i like horses. me too! -i love horses! love them! what are your thoughts on guinea pigs? let's see what happens if i turn up the heat. now we're getting somewhere. -sucrose. how sweet of señor perkins. he gave me sugar. shoo! get out of here. -ahh! ahh! oh! uh... move! -oh! damn! had a little oven-temperature misfire, but all good now! coming through! excuse me for just one second. -hey, what's going on? george, i made a moth disappear! ooh! ooh! what? -! i know this sounds impossible, but it's true. i don't see it! where is it? do you see that? -uh... not really. thanks for coming, guys. get some rest. we have a big day tomorrow. no! -no, no, no, no, no! no! bye, guys. on the bright side, the lacrosse girls dug me. i got a bunch of digits. -you got no digits. i got no digits. but i did enter my number into nikki's phone while she wasn't looking. that's something. i made a moth invisible. -you believe me, right? i believe... you probably should get to sleep. i'll see you tomorrow. ugh. ahhhh! -molly? molly, are you okay? where am i? ! uh, you're in the bathroom. -no, i'm not. i'm gone. what do you mean, you're gone? um... molly? -molly, where did you go... exactly! where did i go? i don't know! i don't know where i went! -cleo! ahh! i'm not in the toilet! this is just a bad dream. wake up, molly! -wake up! okay. there. now, i'm going to remove this towel and be awake and everything will be totally normal. ahhhh! -ahhh! what are you doing? calling for help! and what are you going to tell them, molly? i don't know! -that i've disappeared? i'm invisible? i can't see myself? you're right. they're gonna think i'm a crazy person. -okay. this is going to sound insane, but i think my experiment spread to you. what are you talking about? ! i made a moth invisible last night. -you what? ! i was working on a sugar solution and then i just spilled a bunch of chemicals into the mixture and then a moth flew through steam and it became invisible. did it land on you or touch or did you swallow it? you're asking me if i swallowed an invisible moth? -actually, there was something. it something in the bathroom in my water. it was really weird. it was sorta bug-like. gross. -the bathroom window was open? yeah. i think so. okay, so what if the moth was attracted to the light and then it flew into the room and then fell into your water? where i accidentally drank it? -are you kidding me? ! i accidentally drank your invisible science project moth and now i'm invisible too? ! hello? -happy halloween, everyone! oh, man! yo, next time the coug says he's gonna eat 26 meatballs, you tell him that's too many meatballs. oh, no. your boyfriend's here. -oh. hey, cleo. hi, coug. you're... a bear. sure am. -didn't molly tell you? we're all going as a big wizard of oz team costume. i'm the cowardly bear. it's a lion. what's a lion? -the cowardly...? never mind. uh, is molly ready to roll? um, no, she is sick. and she's in the bathroom. -and you can't see her. oh, no. was it the meatballs? molls? babe? -are you okay? oh, not really. cleo's right. i'm really sick. you're our dorothy! -let me take a look at you... no! i'm very contagious! nobody can see me. literally. -go, coug. save yourself. quick! go! quick! -bye! bye. i guess. bye. wow, molly, your boyfriend. -two words: "cowardly bear." can we maybe not mock my boyfriend right now and instead focus on the crisis at hand? okay. you're invisible. -how and why are you invisible? you tell me. i don't know. if it spread through your body this fast, it's extremely soluble. it should only take a few hours. -a few hours? ! i think. i hope. okay, listen, molly, i have to get to school and figure this whole thing out. -and what am i supposed to do? just lay low. call in sick. i can't! i can't miss school today! -wait. it's halloween. really, molly? i think your friends can survive halloween without dorothy. you don't understand. -today is the first game of the season. if i don't go to all my classes, i can't play. this is what you're concerned about, lacrosse? college scouts will be at that game. this is my only chance for them to see me. -and my teammates are counting on me. i can't let them down. i can work with this. maybe with a little make-up and some gloves. cleo! -the invisibility must... spread. so i anything that i touch will gradually become invisible too? ! i don't know, molly. yes? -so there's absolutely no way i can un-invisible myself? i have an idea. what? yup. we're the same height, we sound the same, we'd have the same skin tone if you ever learn to moisturize. -this could totally work. this is insane. there is no way i'm going to pull off pretending to be you. i'll be there coaching you. come on, molly. -even with the hair and the makeup, i'm still me. a mask, really? dorothy didn't wear a mask. we're in new orleans. -just say you're mardi gras dorothy. mardi gras dorothy? yeah. from a big munchkin town parade float, with munchkins giving beads and stuff. look, i've gotta go to school today. -so you've gotta get me through this. get your science gear and do whatever it is you need to do to figure this out. just please help me get through my day until i can be seen again, okay? besides, you look totally cute. fine. -give me your car keys. what? molly, you're invisible. you can't drive. well, you can't drive either. -you don't have a license! this is crazy. what if we get pulled over? how do we explain this? relax. -it's going to be fine. sorry. just talking to my invisible sister. she's a really amazing driver. see? -she probably thought this was one of those self-driving cars. this is never going to work. dorothy should've made better life choices. "oh, there's a tornado coming. i'm gonna go put on my party clothes." -come on, you'll be fine. don't walk like you. walk like me. stand up straight. look more cheerful. -wave. hi, molly. hey, molly. hey, molly. see? -this is totally working. hi, molly! okay, here's the real test. if nikki buys this, everyone will. okay, act natural. -but... act like me. act like natural me. molly? yes. oh, molls! -i'm so glad you're here! i thought you were sick. uh, yeah, i am still very sick. oh. -but i'm a bit better and i'm still quite pale and my voice is a bit different. but, you know, nikki, it's okay. awesome city, right? i... i love the mask. -the mask. uh, right. well, i am mardi gras dorothy. hmm, cute. molls, i'm totally freaking out. -arianna burmeister is also out sick, so that means i'm totally in charge of romp the swamp tonight. and i don't know what to do or if we have enough decorations. please, just tell me everything's gonna be okay. that actually sounds awful nikki, but i would just cancel. are you okay? -uh, i am fine. i just have a little neck twitch this morning, but it is okay. molls, you're here. but i thought you were sick. she got better. -hey, that's great! give the coug some sugar. no. no, that is eww. um, i am very contagious. -so i will see you around. bye. molls? did i do something wrong? um, no, no. -it's-it's my disease. hey, george. you're not at school? no. i'm-i'm really sick. -your sister's here. she's like some freaky carnival milkmaid zorro. hey, molly! uh, yeah. yep. -she is mardi gras dorothy. she looks totally smokin'. what? eww. george, can you please just cover for me today in perkins' class? -you got it. all right, molly, we have to go get to the lab. no. first period is starting. i can't be late. -and what class is it, molly? intro to conformity? intro to geometry, room 42. come on. c-minus? -molly, if you needed help with line segments, you could've just asked. right, because you're always so... warm and supportive. okay. i have to go get to study hall so i can get a big compound microscope and figure this whole thing out. actually, i'll grab it for you. -you have to get to pep circle. pep what? that was weird. a thing we do on game days. just bonding and trust-building. -it's a pre-game ritual... that you are leading. trust! teamwork! fellowship! pride! -a team united can't be denied! whoo! who puts the pep in pep circle? we do! please don't make me do this. -molly! you made it! molly! molly! i've warmed us up. -we're totally ready for you to take over. oh, well, that's just great. um, so let's just go straight into the first thing then which is the... group hug! -or we can skip the first thing! okay... oh. oh. next thing on the agenda. -the circle of trust. right. so let's circle up and do some trust. you can have the bunny. the bunny? -the bunny of truth. well, the bunny of truth. um, nikki, could you please remind us all what the rules are of truth bunnying? whoever holds the bunny gets to safely say something true and meaningful to clear the air before the game. well, then nikki should start us off. -oh, okay. um... okay, i'm so grateful to be on a team with all of you. if i am strong, it's only because i'm surrounded by such strong women. and i'm especially grateful for molls. -she's always there. no matter how crazy my life gets, she gives me the friendship and support i need. she's an amazing friend and the captain. yeah! thank you. -i also want to say one more quick bunny truth, and that is that i'm really mad at the people who invented weather apps because don't you wanna wake up every morning and be surprised at what the weather is? ! yeah. your turn. well, my truth is that i am so grateful to be sitting down because this dress is a serious chaffing hazard. -okay. now for your... emotional truth. my emotional truth. that would probably have to be that -i am fine. i am great. thank you, nikki. molly, this is your safe place. you can trust us. -we love you. my truth would be... i'm not the girl that everybody thinks i am. i'm not the beautiful shining star that everybody suspects. i'm actually more of the person that nobody notices, or nobody pays attention to. -but... this is probably why i'm so uncomfortable here. but, guys, this is-this is all in my head. right? because i'm awesome city molly. i mean, the bomb. -anyway, that's my truth, which is actually, weirdly, true. i think that deserves another group hug! um, okay. all right. yep, yep. -love you too, okay. carter. my hombre. how's the guinea pig? still farting like a chainsaw. -i can't figure out why. because there's talmitic acid in the ice cream. it's reacting with ascorbic acid and turning it into a fat. ascorbyl palmitate. they can't metabolize the fat, -so you end up with the flatulence. how'd you know that? i was a governor's scholar in chemistry last year. really? a governor's scholar in chemistry? -that's, like, crazy amazing. how about we keep it between us? you know, it's not really something i like to advertise. hey. do you know if cleo was planning on showing up? -i'm sorry, man. she's actually sick today. but i know she might've maybe wanted to be here, maybe. can i ask you something? what's cleo's deal? -whenever i talk to her, it's like, you know... and... and she's kind of... never mind. it's cool. uh, good luck with the guinea pig. -this is actually amazing. oh! okay! gotta go, guys. bye. -molly? what are you doing? did you get the microscope? forget about that! some really cute guy in the science lab was asking for you! -oh, that's just carter. "just carter?" he's super cute and totally into you! no, molly. i'm not the kind of girl that... guys like carter are ever actually into. come on. -there's only one way to find out. no. don't you think we have bigger things to worry about right now? i'm not going to go meet carter, okay? that's final. -now if you'll excuse me, i have a massage circle to lead. aah! meatballs! meatballs! -ohh, coming through! coming through! coming through! mayday! meatballs! -lots of meatballs! why did i eat so many meatballs? ! watch my fur, dudes. here goes nothing. -you can do this, molly. just hold your breath, get in and get out. gross. uh... is there a chick in here? uh... -no. it's me, a dude. in the stall. doing my dude things. mmm. -carter! uh, yes? it's me! cleo! sorry, who? -you're... i'm cleo! cleo! you showed? yep! -sure did! i thought you were... sick? yes. i was. -but now i'm feeling much better. and you're in costume. you hate costumes. yeah, i know, but i'm working on this thing where i'm trying to relax more and be less judgmental and uptight. are you sure you're okay? -you don't really seem like yourself. those pants look ridiculous on you. there's the cleo i know and love. so, hi. we're hanging out. -yeah, i guess we are. this is great. i'm really psyched. you are? i know. -i've probably been confusing in the past. a little grouchy, right? mean, even. let's just put all that behind us. focus on the now. -maybe get to know each other. tell me about yourself. what kind of stuff does carter groove to? oh, no. oh. -uh... actually, i have to run. but maybe we could go out sometime, like in a non-study setting. like a real date. wait a second, i... -i'm not sure i'm hearing you correctly in that suit. are you asking me out? yeah. i am. what? -is that weird? honestly, coming from you, a little. a lot, actually. what are you doing tonight? tonight? -um, i'm volunteering at the school fundraiser. romp the swamp? that's my favorite event of the year! i'll see you there tonight. it's a date. -coug! watch where you're going! it's not the coug! molly? what are you doing? -so, you didn't miss your study date with carter after all. what? i figured out a way to pretend to be you. you what? ! -yeah. the bear costume was thick enough, so it didn't turn invisible. well, at least, not right away. anyways, i got you a real date. he's working at romp the swamp tonight. -at least, i think it's a date. honestly, it was a little hard to communicate, being in the bear suit. oh my! bear. with no head. -headless bear. oh, no. molly? what's happening? i'm cleo. -no. you're molly. no. that's molly. no. -that's a headless bear. or an armless bear? torso-less bear? okay, i'm kind of losing my mind right now. george, calm down. -remember how i made a moth invisible last night? yeah. well, it flew into molly's drink and now she's invisible. say something. hi, george. -how are you? fine. are you okay, molly? i'm good. this is amazing. -and very scary. who stole my bear costume? oh, gotta hide! molly! wow, you are a sight for sore eyes. -hey, little guy. george. of course. someone stole my bear costume. right out of the bathroom. -any of you guys seen it? um, no. nope, coug. i haven't seen a thing. but it was so great talking to you. -awesome city. um, i have to leave. so do you think, in exchange for me being cool and keeping all this a secret, you might put in a good word for me with your friend nikki? you like nikki? ! -that's so adorable! nikki's a sweetheart. she likes nice guys. just be yourself around her. yeah, i find the whole "being myself" approach never really works out for me. -just give her a chance. she might surprise you. molly eastman? yep, that's me. yeah, i'm mr. perkins. -your sister's in my science class. oh. well, i have heard a lot about you. uh, can i talk to you for a minute? sure. -yeah, uh, listen, i know your sister stayed home sick today. yeah, she's really, really sick, mr. perkins. she has to stay home. yeah. the, uh, thing is, -i went all angry teacher on her yesterday and i told her, well, she'd fail my class if she didn't deliver on her science project. i just want to make sure that she's okay. that the science project isn't the reason she's staying home. she's okay. yeah. -she is actually doing a lot more than you expected. a lot more. i'm pretty sure she's gonna blow you mind. okay, that is great to hear. see, i knew she had it in her. -thanks. your sister is one of the brightest kids that's ever sat in my class. she's got this potential inside her. you know, i think she could do great things in this world if she wanted to. if she would just get out of her own way. -yeah. um, if she were here, she would want me to tell you that. she really doesn't want to disappoint you. well, tell her to feel better. it was good talking to you. -come on. yes! cleo, shouldn't i have at least started turning visible by now? yes. which is exactly why we need to go home so we can figure this whole thing out. -wait. we're not going home now. but school's over. and the most important part of the day is starting. which is? -lacrosse. making me visible is gonna have to wait. i... all right, everyone. five minutes until game time. -don't forget to buy your go fighting owls t-shirts. i think i'm gonna sit this one out. yeah! i don't think so. molly, i cannot do this. -i am going to get creamed out there. you'll be fine. that's easy for you to say. what? you think this is easy for me? -i'm terrified every game. i can hardly sleep the night before. i have to drink ginger fizz just to untie the knots in my stomach. well, then why do you do it? well... -i like being on a team. when everyone's around me, my nerves settle. and i don't feel alone. it's like, when i'm a part of something bigger than myself, it makes me better. -hmm. hey. you can do this. i'll be there with you, telling you exactly what to do. you ready to rumble, molls? -we've gotta rock it, today. uh, yeah, rock it! totally. okay, bring it in! bring it in! -bring it in, ladies! all right, everyone. go fighting owls! okay, high school sports fans. it's the moment you've all been waiting for. -it's game time! owls! owls! owls! owls! -your stick's upside down. duly noted. molly, move up! you're running the wrong way! come on, come on, come on! -come on! yes! wow, slow and painful start for the fighting owls. let's see if they can recover. it's okay, it's okay. -should somebody call an ambulance? you okay? that hurt more than anything in my entire life has ever hurt. all right, come on. get up. -sure, just let me try and start breathing first. molly, what's wrong with you? it's like you've never held a stick before! uh, it must just be my cold. hey, listen to me. -this is my whole life, here. those college scouts are my future. i can't lose today. i've got an idea. you got this, guys! -and the visitors win another draw. great attack by the... wind? go! come on, come on! power forward molly eastman. -whoo! we're seeing some of her trademark wizardry out there with that ball. pass it! just like that, owls are right back in this one, folks! -yeah! way to go, molly! the fighting owls have really picked up steam. come on, molly! they've got the visitors totally off-balance. -literally. go! go! yeah! whoo! -this has been a very strong push by the visitors. they've clearly got their sea legs back. wh... come on! come on! -we're all tied up! time out! refreshment? thanks. you know, there's some really complicated physics in lacrosse. -i'm available for a one-on-one consultation anytime. what makes this drink so blue? huh, you got me there. how you doing? i can't play. -i just can't. i can't even feel my legs. please, cleo, this is it... all or nothing. see over there? -this is my future, cleo. i need this. all right, guys, everybody bring it in. uh, good luck. thanks, thanks. -okay, bye. okay, guys, i know you are exhausted. i'm exhausted and in pain. a lot of pain. and i mean a lot of pain. -but there is this thing i always say, which is when you're part of something bigger than yourself, it makes you better. that's what a team means. so let's get out there and have each others' backs, okay? yeah! you guys, we can do this. -right? yeah! all right, all in. one, two, three... owls! -nice job. i don't know how you do this every week. what an absolute classic. we're all tied up, 30 seconds left. time for one more play. -owls! owls! owls... what a pass by the owls! i can't get to the goal, cleo. -it's all you, you got this. go, molly! molly! molly! molly... -molly eastman is now one on one with the keeper. goal! molly eastwood scores! she did it! and the fighting owls win 8-7! -you did it! molly! molly! molly... hold the slide steady so i can figure out what's going on with your cells. -okay, getting focused here. there's a nuclear membrane. wait. wait what? is that a good wait or a bad wait? -your body, your cells, they aren't metabolizing the compound. that sounds like a bad wait. why is this even happening? the original sugar solution must be turning into a fat and getting stuck in her cells. so what does that mean? -we have to figure out how to neutralize the solution before her body could fully absorb it... or the invisibility will become permanent. what? i thought you said this was temporary. it takes the human body 24 hours to fully digest something. -right. okay, so when did you swallow the moth? last night at midnight. that means we have until midnight to find an antidote. or she becomes invisible forever. -but where do we start? i don't even remember what i spilled into the last solution. so that's what we do first. we redo your experiment. someplace where we can fully analyze it. -a real lab. like the one at school. okay, we'll start with a basic sugar solution and keep adding chemicals until we get the right combination. exactly. we'll know we got it right when the moth vanishes. -we'll catch a moth. you head to school and start setting up the lab. go, fighting owls! yeah, this probably wasn't the right context for that. where are we going to find a moth before midnight? -come on. i know the perfect place. cool. a cemetery on halloween! great. -the key to catching a moth is to be in the darkest place with the brightest light. moth... this is crazy. where are all the moths? here, mothy. -here, mothy mothy mothy. they're not cats, molly. whatever. cleo? it's no big deal, moths. -must have just been the wind. i can get this back on in no time. cleo! can you see me? yeah. -it's nice to almost see your face again. am i getting better? no, you're not. it's just the night mist glistening in the moonlight. i'm scared, cleo. -me too. but it's gonna be okay. look! i got this. molly, i don't think this is a good idea. -we don't have a choice, cleo. this moth may be my only hope. please be careful, molly. i'm getting closer. come on, moth! -almost got it. almost there. hold on! come on, moth! ohh! -i lost it! molly, are you okay? no! i am not okay! i am very much not okay. -i am in a cemetery, at night, soaking wet, covered in swamp ooze, and now i'm gonna be invisible forever. we still have time. just forget about it. we can't. we can't forget about it. -we can't give up. maybe we should just go home, leave all the lights on, and try to draw a moth in. and then what? you can reverse the invisibility? -for sure? because as far as i can tell, you really have no idea what's actually happening to me. i'm done. i'm done with your science and your judgments and your sarcasm. i'm done with all of it. -come on, molly. this isn't you. you're supposed to be the positive one. just leave me alone. if i'm gonna be invisible forever and have my life completely ruined, -i want to face it alone. you of all people can relate to that. come on, molly. molly? molly! -come on! come back! molly! molly? i don't know if you can hear me or not, but if you can... -i'm sorry. i'm sorry about the sarcasm. i'm sorry about everything. it's just not easy... being your sister. -you've got this thing... this light. everyone is drawn to you. and it's hard sometimes... because... the truth is... that i've always wanted to have that. and when... i didn't... it was much easier... to blame you... for feeling invisible. -so... i pushed you away... and... everything... everything away. i should have come for froyo. you can come for froyo next time. molly, you're here. -i'm here, sis. you never saw me comin'. it's almost nine. we only have a few hours until midnight. hopefully george has gotten everything set up in the lab. -that would be great. oh. oh! ohh. ohh. -did you mean what you said back there? about always feeling invisible? i'm sorry. i had no idea. i get now how rough that would have been. -the funny thing is, i've always been envious of you. me? because you're a genius. you get straight a's with your eyes closed. i kill myself and barely pass. -you have other things going for you. like what? lacrosse? popularity? both are pretty useless after high school. -molly... that light i was talking about, it isn't because you're friendly or pretty or a good athlete, it's because... you make those around you happy. you see what they need, and you make them better. it's like the best kind of smart. you really think so? i know so. -i've been you all day. okay, there's just enough time to go home and get changed before we meet george at school. finally! where have you guys been? the building's locked. -i don't know how we're gonna get inside. leave it to me. i have an idea. that is why i do kung fu. i'm a black belt. -well, a brown belt. oh, okay, i'm a yellow belt. but i am a very advanced yellow belt. let me call you back. hello? -anybody out here? huh? boo! aah... no, no, no, no, no, no! -let's add a little more sodium... okay, we got it. good. let's analyze it so we can figure out how to make an antidote. i don't understand. -the solution's complex. this is heavy organic chemistry. so now what? we have to find someone who can sort through this. someone who knows what all that means. -who? a governor scholar at chemistry. believe it or not, it's carter. what? it's true. -i heard him talk about a bunch of crazy science stuff with george. trust me, if anyone can help us, it's him. and i know just where to find him. carter said he's volunteering tonight. he's gotta be in there somewhere. -what's wrong. if i go in there, then carter's going to know i like him. and i do. and he likes you too. we don't know that, molly. -if a girl like me lets on she likes a guy like him, then he usually ends up laughing in her face. if he did that, he'd miss out on the best thing that ever happened to him. no outside food or drinks. school rules still apply. what are you thinking? -cleo? oh, no. um, hi, coug. is your sister around? no, she's not, but we really have to go. -wait, wait, wait. i just really need to know. is molly dumping me? no, no, she's just really busy. you don't have to protect me, cleo. -she's avoiding me. i mean, she loves romp the swamp. she'd never miss it. would you just tell her one thing? tell her i just want her to be happy. -that's all i've ever wanted. and if she's happier without me, then i can learn to live with that. somehow. the coug's okay. he's not crying. -coug... i've never been the biggest fan of yours, but i was wrong. hmm? molly's really lucky to have you. and if you'll just give me a second, she'll be back. -i just miss her so badly. i miss you too, coug. molly? i'm not breaking up with you. i'm right here. -i'm just invisible. like you can't be hurt? no, that's "invincible", babe. i'm "invisible". i can't be seen. -this is very confusing. oh... oh! molly, it is you! oh, i missed you too. -thank you for not dumping me. whoa, whoa, wait. you're invisible? wait, what? how? -this is completely crazy! coug, i'll explain later, but if we don't find carter now and make molly visible in less than an hour, you're going to go to prom with an invisible girlfriend. which won't make for great couples pictures. right? right. -okay, let's split up. i'm gonna go to the yard, and you go into the house, and we'll meet in the barn at the end, okay? okay, yeah. let's go. have you seen carter anywhere? -have you seen a guy named carter? uh-uh. you go in there. i'm gonna go this way. oh, uh, excuse me, do you know where carter is? -soccer player, about this tall, luscious curls? george, have you seen molly? uh, "seeing" is really the tricky word there. we're out of snacks, the bowl of fake eyeballs turned mushy, the smoke machine ran out of whatever makes it make smoke. molly is supposed to be here. -this is a complete disaster. nikki? yeah? it's not a disaster. this is the greatest haunted house fundraiser ever. -really? definitely. oh, are you having a good time? see? she's happy, and she doesn't even have a head. -you're doing a great job. thanks. you're a really... really nice guy, george. thanks. you're nice too. -maybe we could hang out sometime? i'd like that. uh, great. to be continued. see you soon. -carter! can you guys give us a sec? hey... you're here. you're late, but here. and you're not in costume. -um, no. costume? your bear costume? um... no. -can i ask you something? what's up with you? i mean, generally, you're kind of standoffish. today you're actually nice to me, and now you barely even bother to show up. carter, i'm so sorry about the weirdness. -the truth is... i have always wanted to hang out with you. and i never thought that you would want to ever hang out with me. what are you wearing? uh, i'm... -i'm honey. honey? yeah, you know, i thought, 'cause, you know, with your bear costume, i'd... i'd be honey. 'cause, you know, bears and honey are... -they're kind of a... thing. i... i literally spent all afternoon gluing felt. but, you know, since you're not in costume, -i... i may have overthought this a little bit. i really want to talk to you about this, and i want to talk to you about a lot of things. but right now, i really need your help. what is it? -you should just not see for yourself. it's just over here in the barn. isn't the barn off-limits? carter. hey. -hello. what's going on? okay, here we go. hey, carter. whoa, carter, carter, carter... -wow, this is a sophisticated solution. but i think i can work out an antidote. the problem is we only have 45 minutes. 'cause at midnight, we're toast. the tricky part is after we create the antidote, -we need to distill its steam. of course. the steam is what turned the moth invisible, so that's what molly needs to drink. but how? we don't have time to get to the lab. -we can make a homemade still. all we need are a few simple components. hey, sorry, fire code violation, gotta take this. a heat source... some tubing... sounds better without these notes. -...and a funnel of some kind. ok, so now that we've created the antidote, all we need to do is boil it... then distill its steam... so that molly can drink it before midnight. okay, here we go. it's almost midnight. we've got 40 seconds. -is it working? just one drop... and another one. this is gonna take forever. 30 seconds. oh, come on, boil faster! -hey! open the door, people. it's perkins. ignore him. whoever's in there better come out, or you're gonna meet my good friend, -mr. detention! less than 20 seconds. come on, work, you stupid machine. come on. what's going on in there? -okay, molly, this should be enough. drink it. seriously, open up! people, your actions have consequences. i have to do something for you first. -what are you doing? it'll just take a second. you kids are in some serious trouble! mr. perkins, it's molly. cleo turned me invisible for her science project. -you have to know how special she is. oh, no. molly, what did you do? i had to make sure mr. perkins knew, cleo. you did something amazing the world had to see. -we missed the deadline. it was a risk i was willing to take for you. molly, i'll never see your beautiful face again? that's okay, we can still have a life together. maybe even with little half-invisible kids someday. -so you actually did this? you really turned your sister invisible. i... i... okay, i can't get my mind around... around this. -uh... no, no, we can't give up. there has to be something else that we can do. your calculations were conservative. there should have been enough time, it should have worked. -well, then, there's something we're missing. molly, did you eat anything weird last night? meatballs. huh? meatballs. -wait, you had a game the next day. you were nervous. ginger fizz. i drank some with the moth. then that's what we're missing. -its acidity must have impacted the solution somehow. do you have any on you? i never leave the house without it. drink it. hey, no matter what happens, -i really liked spending the day with you. me too. it's nice to see your face again. it's good to see you, too. i think the coug needs to blow off some steam. -molly! finally! hey! where's your costume? hi, nikki! -wow. you finally took your headphones off, cleo. you did some real science. maybe a little too real. listen, i chaired the new orleans association of applied scientists. -would you please come and present your findings with us next month? yeah! yeah? all right. thank you. -hey. look, i know it's been a crazy night. but... and i'm dressed as honey. but do you want to dance? -yes. so as i was saying, invisibility is everywhere. but as it turns out, the line between visible and invisible, it isn't that wide. transformation from one state to another is indeed possible. i know now that visible things can disappear and invisible things can finally be seen. -crossing this line between invisible and visible is easier than you think. what people see what they really see visible or invisible... and we become visible when we are not afraid to show the world who we really are. previously on "the vampire diaries"... caroline: -if stefan wants to save sarah's life, all he has to do is shut his humanity off. damon: uh, yeah. it's from the '60s. -i'm glad we're finally having burgers. me, too. so, your team find anything new about malick? nothing we didn't already know. d.c. power player with his hand in almost every government organization. -yeah, including mine. where he somehow managed to remove every inhuman you had in custody. thank you. wait, you think malick's mobilizing? only question is why. -not sure. that's what i intend to find out. you're going back into the atcu? i can't protect you on the inside. thanks, lancelot, but i'll be just fine. -the atcu... it's my turf. and as far as malick's concerned, i'm just clocking in another day at work. still a dangerous play. well, then that's a risk i have to take. -i mean, look... it's my people that malick's been using as lab rats, and i'm the idiot who's been working under hydra this entire time. "idiot" is a little harsh. so what's the plan once you're in? just another day. -but i scheduled a meeting with malick, and that way... roz? rosalind? no, no! oh, god. -stay with my voice. stay with me, roz. listen, stay with the sound of my voice! look at me, right here! roz! -roz! i need you to breathe! please, roz! look at me! breathe! -roz! breathe. please breathe. please breathe. please, just stay with me. -please stay with me. now you know how it feels, coulson... to watch someone you care for bleed out right in front of you. ward? got to admit, it still sounds funny when you don't say "agent" first. what did you do? -it seems i just eliminated a leak at the atcu. you murdered rosalind to keep her from digging into malick? come on, coulson. you really think rosalind was gonna stop malick from opening another portal? he's opened one before. -i'm sure he'll do it again. no. this is personal. s.h.i.e.l.d. keeps sending its best agents to kill me. thought i'd stop that from happening again by taking out the guy who keeps sending them. -want to take me out? come and get me. we'll settle this right now. i have people who take care of that sort of thing for me now. no, i just wanted to hear the panic in your voice before you died. -this isn't over. aah! get down! go, go, go! what about miss price? -just drive. let him go. coulson said anything once you got him out of there? he just told me to get the interrogation room ready. i'm so sorry, phil. -whatever you need, just ask. we start at the beginning. how does ward think? is there any weakness we haven't exploited yet? you really think there's something we've missed? -there's only one way to find out. i want each of the original team members to tell me everything they remember about ward, down to the smallest detail, no matter how uncomfortable. okay. when you two were sleeping together, did he ever confess any personal details? we didn't do much talking. -how was your relationship with ward after he saved your life? i was grateful. just grateful? once, i caught him alone in my bunk, like some sort of creeper. was he stealing? -uh, no. i don't think so. but he was, um, just sitting there, staring at a picture of me and my mum. ward appealed because he was damaged. did he ever open up about what had hurt him? -like i said, not much talking. but whatever it was seemed to drive him. made him desperate for others to think of him as some kind of hero. he and i, we were like brothers... at least, that's what it felt like at the time, then i realized he was just using me. -using you for what? it's hard to describe, really, but it was like... like he was trying to replace something that had gone missing. i was such a pathetic flirt, always laughing at his jokes and those ridiculous puns. you were attracted to him. well, he did jump out of a plane to save me. -ever think the feeling might've been mutual? that's not what ward needed from me. besides, it was obvious he fancied someone else. i don't know what to say. then just answer the questions. -sure. but i doubt there's anything you don't already know. i've heard all about how ward fell for you. now explain to me how you fell for him. i realize this has got to be hard on you. -i just want to get the guy who took roz out. so do we. which is why there are a couple of people i need you to meet. there was just something about him. we both had these messed-up childhoods. -made it easy to relate. have you considered that all of that might've been an act to get close, that maybe he found a weakness and exploited it? it wasn't an act. for whatever reason, ward never lied to me. he just hid parts of himself that i wasn't ready to see yet. -"yet"? when you grew up like we did, it... it impacts how you see the world. everything is filtered through a very specific lens. and ward got that. that's why he thought he could make me understand him. -was he right? probably. after years of moving from place to place, i totally get how easy it was for him to be taken in by a powerful father figure. i even understand how garrett was able to draw him into hydra. it's not like i wasn't fooled by my mom when she-- -sounds like there's a lot you're willing to forgive. i will never forgive him. he murdered rosalind just to hurt you. he killed koenig... he killed koenig because of me. -he knew once koenig outed him as hydra, he'd lose you. and the sad part is, that's when i finally understood him for the first time. the reason ward kills isn't because he feels nothing. it's because he feels too much. ward mentioned that malick's trying to open a portal. -does this look familiar? yeah, that's distant star pathfinder. it was the program nasa was in the middle of when roz and i... joined. we weren't privy to the details. you know where nasa was running it? -they weren't. an independent contractor proposed the project, ran things out of a lab complex. facility shut down years ago. maybe worth looking anyway. do we have to guess who it was that funded this independent contractor? -no, you don't. it was gideon malick. all hail the conquering hero. that was fast. seems i just gave the go-ahead. -been a while since i took a shot from that far out. felt good. yeah, i bet. guess in all that excitement, you forgot about the part where we need phil coulson alive. he made it out. -by the skin of his teeth. what the hell were you thinking about, sending in your little bones brigade? i wanted to put coulson through his paces. ah. this is not some game you just leave to chance. -well, maybe not for you. i was good either way. right. 'cause if coulson doesn't make it out, you get that closure you've been searching for. closure's not something that i ever put much stock in. -what i believe in... is moving forward. never looking back. these five stones were extracted from the monolith centuries ago. the idea was that they should be divided up evenly among hydra's most powerful leaders. now you've got the full set, thanks to me. -you're missing the point. these stones are the key to everything that hydra's been marching toward since it was formed. and now you're jeopardizing all of that for something as petty as closure. don't worry. -everything will play out exactly like we planned. how can you be so sure? 'cause i know coulson better than he knows himself. sir, i just wanted to say... sir! -you were supposed to take ward out. i sent you to do a job. you failed! now people are dead. you need to calm down! -no, he's right. ward should never have had the chance to do what he did. no. she's right. i'm the one who picked ward for this team. -everything that happened since, it's on me. sir, i'd do anything to have another shot at the bastard. well, you better not miss this time. this time? i figured out a way to track down ward, -but we got to go off book. my specialty. i'm not sure taking hunter is really such a good idea. you're going, too, agent morse. we need a pilot. -what are you thinking? it's simple, agent mackenzie. to take ward out, i need to cross some lines the director of s.h.i.e.l.d. shouldn't cross. well, maybe those lines aren't meant to be crossed. maybe not, but this is happening. -what, you want me to fill in? as acting director until it's finished. why not put may in charge? after everything that's happened with andrew, she's not ready to lead. you're the only one i trust who doesn't have an axe to grind with ward. -i was gonna check out the distant star facility with fitz and simmons. they've already gone. i sent them and a team with agent banks 20 minutes ago. well, maybe i should go. -this isn't a request. it's an order. i need you to step up and do the damn job. does this mean you're gonna tell me your plan? absolutely not. -seems unlikely anything portal-related is still here. don't go jumping to conclusions just yet. we may still find something to help us bring back will. we can't bring him back. jemma... we've already built the program to determine where the portal will open on maveth. -the only thing that's left is getting to the other side. that's not what i meant. it's irresponsible of us to open another portal. hydra's been searching for the thing on that planet for centuries. it's an old wives tale hydra moms tell their goblin babies. -but i've seen it. it's real. yes, and so is will, and he's stuck there, and he needs our help. you don't think i want to save him? that it's not tearing me up inside? -he saved my life, and... you know how i feel about him. but to put so many other lives in jeopardy would be selfish. it's not selfish... don't do this. it's not me! -let's go. mr. malick is waiting. our target's in a public place. plenty of looky-loos, then, i imagine. you're serious about all options being on the table? -you got something particular in mind? ever robbed a bank before? can't say that i have. have you? piece of advice... never trust a crooked jockey on a doped-up horse. -my point is, i have an idea i think should work. good, 'cause time's a luxury we don't have. ward and malick are already 10 steps ahead. don't blame me. this was his idea. -get them up. you know, my father used to say, "never send a boy to do a man's job," but it honestly never occurred to me that i should try sending a young woman. tell me, miss simmons, when you went through, did you see it? -whoa-oh! you didn't tell me she was so feral. it's a new development. the secrets you must have hiding in that pretty little head of yours, just waiting to be shared... well, never gonna help you put another bloody portal... -nobody's asking you to. see, hydra's been opening one portal or another for centuries. and all it takes is a few stones and a building with just the right vibrational frequency. what's all this about, then? the other thing. -they don't know how to get back. you really are a sharp cookie. maybe now you're ready to reveal the secret. come a little closer and find out. what about you? -piss off. any suggestions? split them up. hydra's taken fitz and simmons. how is that possible? -there was an ambush at the distant star facility. what about banks and the others? they didn't make it. we got to get on zephyr one and get there. i don't think that's the right move. -they took fitz and simmons. i know that, but hydra's long gone by now, and we can't waste every resource we have chasing our own damn tail. it's better than doing nothing. i need to call coulson. director? -sir, we have a situation. fitz and simmons have been kidnapped. what? by who? by hydra, by the looks of it. -seems they knew we were coming. that's why ward mentioned the portal. he wanted us to go there. does this mean we need to make a change of plans? no. -it means this better work. anyone need explaining what to do next? ! we got no heroes here today, mate. oh, god. -how'd you find me? i'm not afraid of you. got to say, i am impressed with this whole furiosa vibe you got going on. please just shut up. and sure, being trapped on another world might've had a lot to do with it, but i would like to think dropping you and fitz -20,000 leagues under the sea really got the ball rolling. you really are the king idiot. this can go a couple of different ways. do your worst. you see, that's the problem right there. -if you'd really gotten to know me, you'd know that i would never do anything to hurt you, jemma. but i can't say the same is true for him. let me know if you change your mind. you want to see a trick? what have you... -what... what have you done with simmons? trust me, you really don't want to know. i'll kill you, you... psychopath! seems you're still scared of me, fitz. -don't worry. i'm not gonna hurt you. there's a much simpler way to make you talk. leave simmons alone. the first thought i had when we met was, -"wow, this guy's really carrying a torch." it was sweet, really. not, uh, adult sweet. more like a cartoon puppy dog with its heart beating outside its chest. don't do this. -i even told you to make a move before it was too late. guess what... too late. please... just tell me how she came back, and this all ends. simple as that. -no! no! nooo! or we can just... sit here and listen. you really think he can lead us to ward? -what i realized about ward is that every twisted thing he does is just a misguided attempt to justify his past. but there's one thing in his past he can never make right. what is this? did my brother send you? grant ward? -doesn't even know you're here, mate. but he's about to. i'm curious which is worse for you... those moments when simmons screams... or is it the long pauses when she doesn't? wasn't expecting a call from a dead woman's phone. i spent every second since you murdered rosalind trying to understand just how your sick mind works. -shouldn't be that hard. we're not that different, you and me. it's not like we operate in different worlds, coulson. we both got blood on our hands. big difference is, i've never hurt anyone for selfish reasons. -that is, until now. what's that supposed to mean? there's someone here who'd like to say hello. take a look. i got two of yours, so you take one of mine? -like i said, two sides, same coin. only i doubt you're willing to take it all away. i thought you might say that, so i brought a friend along. if you lay a finger on thomas... hanging up? -you sure that was the right play, boss? i need ward to know that we've got the upper hand. plus... it'll really piss him off. here. please don't kill me. -nobody wants that. that's not very reassuring when he's got a gun to your head. hate to break it to you, but your brother isn't a very nice guy. you're the one who just kidnapped me. what's wrong with you people? -ward hurt someone i care about. and as far as we can tell, you're the only thing left in this world that he cares about, which means you're the only way i can draw him out. okay. but you better finish him off when you do. honestly wasn't expecting that. -it's what grant's always done... hurt people and lie to himself about it. so all that talk about a traumatic childhood is just rubbish, then? i'm sure whatever he told you about our parents is true. see, my dad, he had some real anger issues, and my mom... well, she had dad issues, so they spent most of their time taking those issues out on us. what about your brothers? -were you close? christian was a lot older, so we never really hung out much, but grant he was my best friend. protected me from mom and dad, from christian... and one day, he didn't. the day he pushed you down the well. -grant totally changed after that. it was like he felt guilty but couldn't admit what had really happened. instead, he kept promising never to let anyone hurt me again. slightly unnerving coming from the guy who just chucked you down a well. -you two keep in touch? family reunions, holidays, that sort of thing? grant was 17 when he burned my parents' house down, with christian inside. ever since, i've made sure to give him a pretty wide berth. pretty sound logic, actually. -well, you don't really seem like your brother. just 'cause you grow up in a family of abusive monsters doesn't mean you have to become one. i didn't. please, don't hand me over to grant. sorry, mate. -giving you up is the only way to draw him out. maybe not. during the call, i put a trace on ward's phone. now we just have to keep him on long enough to get an exact location. ward'll never let that happen. -he will if i'm on the other end. let me talk to him. not a good idea, even if he does... ...call back. still not a good idea. -i swear i'll cut fitz from head to toe if... grant? thomas... you okay? is everything they're saying true? -don't listen to them. they're the bad guys. they killed someone i love very much. then why is this happening? they know how much i care about you. -they want to hurt me. it's been almost 15 years. i tried to see you. mom and dad made that impossible. they kept you hidden. -that wasn't mom and dad. that was me. i changed my name and moved so you'd never find me. why would you do that? 'cause i didn't want to let you hurt me again. -that was one time. really? one time? then explain what the hell you did to mom and dad. thomas... -no, you killed them. and christian, too. you know what type of people they were. they hurt us both. i couldn't let that happen again. -dad needed a walker to get around. who was he gonna hurt? i know this is tough to hear, but sometimes, you got to do a bad thing for the right reasons. stop trying to justify what you did. just stop. -they were my parents, too. and yeah, they were horrible people, but you are so much worse. you set them on fire. thomas, calm down. listen to me for a second. -time's up. put thomas back on the phone. yeah, that's not gonna happen. you traced the call. and now i'm coming to put you down. -you will tell me everything i need to know right now. you understand me? ! do you? ! -no. no! trace puts ward in the southwest of england. they're at the castle where we brought simmons back. which would explain why he kidnapped her and fitz. -'cause malick's trying to open another portal. best get there before that happens, then. i spent my life staying off grant's radar. how am i supposed to stay safe now? a security detail has been assigned to keep an eye on you. -is that all an act? or was he really gonna hurt me? we'll be in touch. daisy said you needed a word. more like your opinion. -i've been reading andrew's file on lincoln... "a dangerous temperament that's only been inflamed by recent events. it's my professional opinion he should not be allowed in the proposed initiative." what do you think? i'm not even sure if that's andrew's evaluation. -maybe it's lash. how are we supposed to know the difference? that's a live sat feed from the castle where ward and malick are holding fitz-simmons. looks like hydra has a couple of dozen troops. the bigger problem is the heavy artillery, the surface-to-air missiles. -and that's not even the worst of it. coulson told him he was coming. cloaking won't help if hydra knows what to look for. i asked him if he needed backup, but coulson refused to make the call. you're the man in charge. -make it for him. we're outmanned, outgunned, with no time to mount an assault with even a snowball's chance against a fortified hydra. what the hell am i supposed to do? i think you already know. well, there's our little space traveler. -we were just about to open up the portal. i thought you might want to come and see for yourself. anyone who goes to that planet will die. that thing on the other side drives people mad. well, that's certainly an interesting theory. -here's another. it wants to come back. and finally, after all these years, we finally found someone to help us do that. i'll never help you bring that thing back, no matter how much you hurt me. which is why we've agreed to stop hurting you... so that he would go instead. -oh, fitz... sorry, jemma. i always thought fitz would give up the world for you. looks like now he finally has his chance. are you sure about this? -they haven't even been cleared for field duty. i cleared them just now. seems i might just get my team after all. listen up! hydra has fitz and simmons, and they're planning to open another portal! -which is why we're going to stop them. yeah, but why us? i'm guessing we're all they've got. you two have powers. my other agents don't. -but i'm not gonna lie to you... this is a dangerous mission, and the odds are not in our favor. not really a selling point. here's the deal. what hydra's planning is gonna hurt a lot of innocent people, maybe people you care about. -i wouldn't be asking you for your help if i didn't think we had a chance. so either you step up and do the damn job or you let the bad guys win. the choice is yours. nice speech, director. how long till we reach hydra airspace? -we're about 10 minutes out. sir? about what happened back there... we got what we needed. end of story. -i understand. but that look on your face... i've seen it before. it's the same look hunter had when he went after ward. not sure i'm getting your point. -it's dangerous going into a mission that emotional. you need to be able to separate the job from your own feelings. you're wrong. i've been keeping my feelings in check, and look what it got us. rosalind's dead, ward has fitz and simmons. -my only regret is that i didn't kill that son of a bitch when i had the chance. coulson... let me know when we're close. it's time. -start without me. need to get ready for when s.h.i.e.l.d. arrives. s.h.i.e.l.d.'s not getting near here. don't underestimate coulson. phil coulson is of no consequence. -you, on the other hand, still have an important role to play. what are you talking about? i want you to lead our men on the other side. you can't be serious. i've been working for this moment ever since -s.h.i.e.l.d. murdered kara. why would i give that up? because you've already won. s.h.i.e.l.d.'s finished. do you really need to take a victory lap? -this isn't over till i'm standing over coulson's dead body. i thought you were more than this, more than bloodthirsty and vindictive. i thought you had vision. vision enough to know when i'm being manipulated into risking my life for someone else's pipe dream. your dream? -revenge? that's just vanity, mr. ward. that's weakness. don't talk to me about weakness, old man. weakness is following others blindly. -learned that the hard way. i'm not asking you to follow. i'm asking you to lead! i've been waiting for this moment for a long time, yes, but i'd hoped that i'd find someone to seize it with me. i thought it might be pierce, but he was bloodthirsty. -thought it might be john garrett, but his vanity led him to think of nothing but himself. john garrett is the only reason i put my faith in hydra. and that is the greatest thing he ever achieved for our cause. i'm no soldier. you're the finest we ever made. -you're the only one that can do this. and if you cross over to that other side, you will finally see that your faith in hydra was never misplaced. it's real. you will look it in the eye. and then? -and then... we'll be able to do whatever the hell we want. hey! you touch her, and the deal's off. fitz, you can't do this. my mind's made up, jemma. -no, we can't let them bring that thing back to this planet! fitz... please just let them kill me. i can't do that. i won't. -i lost you once. i can't lose you again. i'm just... i'm not strong enough to live in a world that doesn't have you in it. oh, come back to me. -just don't bring that thing with you. only thing i'm gonna bring back is will. okay? let's get this show on the road. what are you doing? -leading. looks like they're getting ready. they're gonna take fitz or simmons. it's the smart play. whatever they want over there, they'll take one to guide the team back, keep the other one here for insurance. -that's ward. you can't seriously know that from a bloody heat signature. it's him. wait for me. once you get down there, you establish a perimeter. -wait for me. i'm right behind you. get on in. find it, get to the exit coordinates, we'll turn the portal back on in exactly... 12 hours. -got it. bring it back, my friend. be the one that finishes what hydra started. making history today. cheer up. -new beginning for both of us. he's going through. if that really is ward, then we're too late. can you please go talk some sense into him? you can't do this. -only a complete lunatic would go down there without a plan. i'm ending this. oh, bloody hell. wait, wait. what the hell are you doing? -we both know common sense was never really my strong suit. hydra's got us locked in! we need to move! coulson, wait! shut it down. -it's nothing! fine! get moving! no, buddy. no... -abreu's headed for a sophomore slump. it's one of the eternal laws of the sport. i don't know, bro. those cubans play by their own rules. then go ahead and draft him, but don't come bitching to me when he goes 0 for april. -oh, do you want me to get that? yes, please. text from theresa, the apartment fell through. aw, damn. that place was perfect. -do you want me to text her back? yeah, write "bummer." looks a little cold. do you want me to send a frowny face, like you're really sad about it? no. -no, i don't do that. come on. emojis? everybody uses emojis, john. everybody uses emojis, john. -oh, yeah, i don't use emojis. then you better get with the times. okay, well, let's just go old-school, traditional sad face. just go... uh, colon-parentheses. call it a day. -look, trust me, i've got something you'll like. what are you saying? ow, look at that crying panda. that's weird. yeah. -who would want to make a panda cry? aw, did someone take away your bamboo, bro? i'll kill 'em. hey, you want me to text anything back, t? yeah. -what'd she write back? "hi, hank." t, i got to say, you and johnny got it these days. you got heat. estan caliente. -i can feel it in the phone. oh, that's 'cause you left it in the sun. yeah, but nah, y'all look bona fide. it's kind of true. in a weird way i think almost getting married made us closer than actually getting married. -i've never been happier. that's really sweet, t. hey, can i date your sister? what? who? your sister maeve, she's kind of short, got brown hair and these really sweet titties? -no, you don't want to date maeve. she is a terrible girlfriend. actually, she's been great. oh, damn. seriously? -t. seriously? remember that day last week that was really pretty out? oh, no. -let's pretend like i asked you if i could date her two weeks before that. was it the peanuts? yes. uh-huh. please tell me you didn't try to cure a peanut allergy with peanuts. -my herbalist told me about it. you give yourself a little bit of the allergen every day and slowly increase the dosage. your herbalist is full of shit. this is a beautiful place. how much do you pay, if you don't mind me asking? -oh, i own it. nice. how much did that set you back, if you don't mind me asking? no idea. my parents got it for me as part of my trust fund. -i'm refurbishing the building. when you're not trying to kill yourself? i climbed k2, i think i can conquer a peanut allergy. what's k2? it's the second-highest mountain in the world. -maybe you should climb everest before you try to tackle peanuts. yeah, you don't want to mess with allergies. i'm allergic to bee stings. it's not deadly, but i keep an epipen around just in case. probably good advice for you. -hey, how you feeling? better. much better. i'm gonna be right back with some paperwork. you're gonna be fine. -i've got a cousin who swells up like a balloon any time he has shallots. you'd be surprised how many things have shallots in them. actually, i wouldn't. i got pretty heavy into shallots about six months ago when i was in indonesia. i got to say, compared to onions, their flavonoid levels are off the charts. -hank, this guy knows shallots. mm-hmm. oh, hey, sorry. can i borrow you for a second? yeah. -so what can you tell me about shallots? everything. hmm? whoa. and it's for rent, and it's perfect for theresa and me. -dude. look at the natural light. uhhuh. got a great kitchen, huge bedroom, a tub big enough for me. i don't fit in just any tub, john. -i want this apartment. not a chance. i found it. you can come visit, but this apartment belongs to me. that's my tub. -okay, that's theresa's tub, but should i choose to take a bath, i'm taking it in that tub. this apartment has so much potential, and you are gonna squander it. you're a squanderer. theresa and i are gonna have so much sex in here. -i can hear it now. hey, peanut... hey, baby. i don't hear nothing. demolition man. too loud. -the artist? too quiet. fast and furious. too vin diesel. xxx: -state of the union. way too vin diesel. the pacifier. not vin diesel enough. vin diesel. -vincent diesel. you know who i feel bad for? i feel bad for that apartment. that is one sexy apartment, john. that apartment deserves to have sex in it every single night. -we are having plenty of sex. it's just more spaced out than it used to be. tell that to the apartment. got to take that apartment to dinner. got to wine and dine that apartment. -make that apartment feel special. you know, i've actually given this a lot of thought. before theresa and i moved in together, we would have a ton of sex, and then we'd break up and wouldn't see each other for months. then we'd get back together and make up for lost time. so if you factor in all the break-ups and the down time, we're having exactly the same amount -of sex we've always had. yeah. i actually worked out the calculations. oh. works out perfectly. -you know who calculates how much sex they're having? who? people who aren't having sex. ha-ha. people who sit on the couch watching netflix, eating ben and jerry's every single night. -you're not gonna get to me, 'cause i actually love living with theresa. for two years, i tried to not do it, and it turns out she was right. it's awesome. besides, sex is overrated. i mean, look at me and voodoo. -we're perfectly happy in our platonic relationship. oh, just rub it in my face, brian. i didn't do that on purpose, gabby. you could be so much happier with me. i don't know. -i'm pretty happy. well, give me 48 hours. damn. damn is right, hank. damn is right. -first of all: holy shit. second of all: don't compare me to whatever's going on with you and voodoo. you're dating an asexual. -you literally never have sex. okay, no, we don't have sex, per se. but what we do have is actually far more beautiful. in a way, i don't even miss the sex. me and voodoo, we have this intense soul connection that goes far beyond the physical. -we... we're operating on a higher plane and just... gosh, i'm just... i'm masturbating all the time. i mean, just... just constantly. it's bad, guys. -i mean, i'm not proud of it. i just... i really... i don't know what to do. see? -just like i said. people can kid themselves, but there is no substitute for sex. and that's why i'm the happiest guy on the rig, 'cause i'm having sex damn near every night. i've actually been meaning to talk to you about something, hank, and you've just given me the perfect opportunity. -do you remember after jeff the chef's wedding, you said you might be interested in settling down? i was emotional. i said a lot of things. mm-hmm. you specifically asked us to call you out if you fell back into a pattern of meaningless hook-ups. -johnny, have you been detecting a pattern? i have indeed, my friend. yeah. just because you two are having sex-free relationships, don't try to drag me down, too. i'm having sex. -it's just more spaced out than it used to be, okay? mm-hmm, mm. which he likes. just... soy caramel frappuccino. -thanks, dude. hey, i'm sorry i've been so low energy. i've just been having a lot of late nights lately, and it's starting to take its toll. what have you been doing? ah, i probably shouldn't get into it. -everything all right? mm, mm-hmm. i've just been having a lot of sex with your sister. it's basically, like, constant. like, how much sex? -i probably shouldn't talk about this. hey, i mean, i think we need to set up some ground rules. you know, like, some boundaries when it comes to that kind of talk. you know, you're my partner, but i'm dating your sister, so i feel like we should really try to keep things above board. like, i feel that any personal information of that sort should stay strictly off-limits from here on out. -it's between myself and maeve and no one else. six times a week. no, seven. wait, last week it was ten. it's amazing, t. i'm so happy. -we had sex outside last night. maeve had sex outside? mm-hmm, right under the stars. that is so weird, because as a kid, she wouldn't even go camping. she didn't want to get her clothes dirty. -she wasn't wearing no clothes, t. it was crazy, the moonlight bouncing off her perfect ass. her ass, ayo mio. okay. that butt is like a peach... -all right. but the ripest, most delicious peach you've ever tasted, t. like, i'm sorry, i wish i could describe it better to you. shut up, billy. we need to have sex right now. -yeah. what prompted that? i just felt like we were due, you know? yeah, totally. did you feel like we were due, too? -no, not really, anyway. what do you mean? i don't know. i just think maybe, uh, we should have sex outside sometime. really? -yeah, why not? no reason. okay, let's put that on the list. let's do it right now. now? -mm-hmm. if you can go again. i can always go again. let's go. i just... -i just don't know if now, n-now, now, now is the best time. oh, right, you're saying no after everything that i did for you. i think that we did stuff for each other. uh-huh. yuh-huh. -granted, you did a lot of the legwork. yeah. and the arm work. and... yeah, and... -yeah. okay, yeah. let's do this, but just not in the backyard because the neighbor's cat shit back there. you feel like we operate on, like, a higher plane, right? uh, what do you mean? -i don't know. you mean the fact that we can be intimate with each other without having sex? yes. if that's what you mean by "operate on a higher plane," then yeah, sure. -great. so when we're not together, like after i leave, do you just stay on that... that higher plane? or do you ever slide down to, like, a... a lower plane, like down below, or... i have no idea what you're talking about. i love that we operate on a... a metaphysical level, but i also operate on a physical level with myself. -do you do... do you do that? get physical with your... with yourself? are you asking if i masturbate? yes, yes i am, because i do it all the time, and i just need to know where you're at with that. -i do sometimes, yeah. okay. okay. good, because i just needed to kn... i... thank you so much. -that makes me feel so much better. you're welcome. phew. yeah. right? -out of the way. oh, done with that convo. so what do you think about when you... when you're doing it? i don't really think about anything. it's just for the physical sensation. -and, no, i don't need anyone else to do it for me. great, great. i... me, neither. i'm... i'm great at it. -what about over there? oh, too loud. what about over there? uh, too quiet. what about on that roof? -ooh, too vin diesel. well, nothing's gonna be perfect, john. that's kind of the point. so let's go and do it over in that field, huh? oh, i don't know. -hmm. what's wrong? nothing's wrong. you're being weird. i'm not being weird. -you are being weird. i'm a cop, i know when people are being weird. well, apparently not this time. tell me. tell you what? -or there's not gonna be any more pancake saturdays. what? you can't take away pancake saturdays. so, tell me. tell me. -sandy handy. can't hear ya. sandy handy. i've never told anybody this before. told anybody what? -high school, sophomore year, spring break, i meet this girl on a beach, and she gives me my first rub and tug. yeah? yeah. she's got sand all over her hand. -and as you can imagine, that does not feel good. but i'm trying to be nice. i try to just, like, go with it for a while. mm-hmm. the chafing gets so bad. -and on top of it, i think she's got sunblock on her hands. no! no! it starts burning like crazy, and i just start screaming so loud. i scare that poor girl half to death. -oh, you poor thing. and then all the sudden, this group of seniors on a hotel balcony start laughing their asses off. turns out they were watching the whole thing, and they start screaming, "sandy handy! sandy handy!" -no! oh, god. holy shit. i've never been so embarrassed in my whole life. that was the last time i ever did anything like that outside. -so now you know. honestly, john, i am perfectly happy with our sex life. good, me too. i mean, the only reason i said anything in the first place was because billy told me that he and maeve had sex outside the other day. yeah, i think i was just being weirdly competitive with them. -i mean, who cares if we're having sex less than we used to, right? we don't have sex less than we used to. it's the same amount. it's just more spaced out. okay. -no, it's not okay. we're having the same amount of sex. i worked it out. okay. everything's okay. -why do you say it like it's not? be honest with me, do you think our sex life has gotten boring? no. i feel like you hesitated. did i? -i don't know, did you? i love you. our sex life is perfectly fine. fine. oh, stop. -then pick better words. so am i gonna see you again? my best friend lives in the building. definitely. oh, right. -mm-hmm. mm-hmm. wow, it's gonna be awkward if we stop hooking up. oh, not for me, it won't. oh, not for me, either. -i was just saying that to be nice. hey, speaking of johnny, what do you say we don't mention this to him and theresa for the time being? what, are you ashamed of me? of course not. i'm ashamed of the things i'm gonna do to you. -oh. mmm. what things? what you want, a spreadsheet? you gonna find out. -sandy handy, man. that sounds traumatic. i know. i actually think i understand johnny a little better now, like what makes him tick. really? -how? well, you know, i mean, a girl jerked him off with sand on her hand, and now he's a pretty cool dude. and you think those two things are related? absolutely. hmm. -well, maybe not, you know? oh, you can't tell anyone i told you about that. of course not, t. sandy handy, that is awesome. oh, babe, i just remembered. -i wasn't supposed to tell anyone. well, obviously you have to tell me. yeah, i guess you're right. oh, and we have to tell cash. tell me what? -back in the war, i had sex in a rice paddy with this fine little vietnamese woman. whoo, i knew it was dangerous, but i was young and in love, and you couldn't tell me nothing. so we're laying there, doing our thing in the rice. all of a sudden, i heard a gunshot. pow! -shot right in the ass. viet cong? no, worse, her husband. oh, look who it is! it's sandy handy! -sandy handy! sandy handy! sandy handy! sandy handy! very nice. -well, word travels quickly, huh? sandy handy! sandy handy! thank you. thank you all for this. -hello? hey, listen to this. sandy handy! sandy handy! oh, no. -why would you tell anyone that story? i don't know. uh, it slipped out? but, hey, it's a cool story. i mean, it makes you sound cool. -you were getting hand jobs at 15. i hope it doesn't become a nickname. paging sandy handy. oh, my god. bye. -ambulance needed, 428 schoville. witnesses... let's go, sandy. oh. you... -paramedics. paramedics. you want this one, sandy? bite me, and yes. hello? -down here! hello? whoa, what happened here? what does it look like? i have no idea. -let me take a stab at it. and it got out of hand. yeah, pretty much. superman was coming to rescue you from an arch-nemesis, say, lex luthor, and he got hit with a little kryptonite, right? -no, he got hit with the fan. he tried to jump off the dresser. he's breathing, just out cold. hey, bro. oh, he's gonna be fine. -there you go, buddy. hi. welcome back. hey, how long have you two been together? oh, about two years, -right, honey? yeah. we just moved in together. don't try to draw a parallel. i know what you're doing. -oh, cautionary tale, john. cautionary tale. my only question is how you managed to call 911 with your hands tied. hey! is he okay? -he's okay, gary! we let him watch sometimes. oh. can i ask you a question? why superman? -first of all, i'm not superman. i'm super-jim. but you have a red cape. clearly there's a superman influence. with a subtle nod to the flash. -i made him the costume. girl, superman is vanilla. if i could date a superhero, i would date batman. he's rich, he's mysterious, he has issues. that's a good time. -batman doesn't have any special powers. neither does he. he's got a point, hon. maybe next time, i can be batman. see, i was thinking aquaman. -oh, i like it. aquaman's, like, the lamest superhero of all time. he doesn't have to come up for air. oh. oh. -man, yeah. doctor'll be here any second. you know, um... let me ask you something. was it really worth it? -what do you mean? come on. you're about to get an mri dressed as a superhero. is all this costume shit worth the hassle? hey, i got a girlfriend who's into superheroes. -and in case you couldn't tell, she's a little out of my league. your girlfriend's smoking hot. so if i have to do some weird stuff from time to time to keep her happy, am i gonna do that? mm-hmm. hell, yeah. -oh, yeah, you are. i suck it up. i literally suck it up to get this ridiculous costume over my extremely average physique. i mean, i got a nice ass, but i got bird legs. i think you look great. -i'm skinny-fat. no, i think you look great. thank you, but i look like kevin bacon had sex with a rabbit. that's true. you have a lady? -yeah, i got a lady. then you know what i'm talking about. you can't be clark kent every day. sometimes you have to man up and step into the phone booth. you're right. -where does superman change now? you know, i was thinking about that the other day. yeah. probably, like, a porta potty. probably, right? -that makes sense. yeah. okay. you know, we don't actually have to do this if you're uncomfortable, okay, john? no, and i like it. -it's kind of primal. right? like we're in the garden of eden. yeah. like i'm eve, and you're adam. -yeah, watch out for the snake. ooh, oh. ow, did you pinch it? ow. no, you told me you don't like that. -ow, no, just wait a second. no, come on... ow. i think it was a bee. what? ah! -really? a bee just stung my dick. where's your epipen? it's at home. oh. -ow. it's really swelling, too. i know, i got to call hank. i don't want to... i don't want to call hank. -oh, it's okay. my mom's got an epipen. we'll call her. yeah, hey, theresa, think about that for a second. call hank. -yeah. they actually have to be harvested by pigs, much like the truffle. hmm. hello? hank, i need you to get an epipen and get to porter's park. -what the hell happened? i got stung by a bee somewhere very sensitive. how sensitive? just hurry up, please. did you get stung by a bee on your dick? -look, i don't want to talk about it. just get down here, please. oh. i got to go. did you say a bee... -i'll be back. i mean, it's really swelling. i know. i know. it's huge. -you're, like, superdick. i like that. yeah. think you can get that nickname to stick? oh, that sandy handy thing has really caught on, huh? -not yet, but it's getting there. ow. we should get a photo. no, no, no, no. don't. -shh. don't... okay, just real quick. you're being a baby. it's just a bee. just real quick. -all right. okay. it doesn't fit in the screen. no, no, that's t... you got to go for the high angle. high angle, high angle. -everybody knows, high angle. dick selfies. ow. (claire) 25 years ago, god disappeared. the archangel gabriel decided he must destroy mankind to bring god back, but the archangel michael stood against his brother and fought on the side of humanity. -the war continues. (laurel) the prophet built the fire that protects us. it cannot go out. harper, i cannot let you put everyone else in danger. i'm leaving vega. -i've never stood still. i'm not about to start now. guards! drop your weapon! why try to kill me now? -you live in a palace built with their bones. there's something in there that i want back. has anyone ever made it out alive? no, but there's always a first time. you game? -what's in there? the possessed. (julian) human body wasn't built for occupation. some angels can't bear its limits. they go mad. -and we keep them in here. it's an asylum... and a prison for those who break our laws. so, a few days ago, an angel went mad and stole a key from me, took it in there. i sent some soldiers in to find it. good men, but none of them made it back. -and i'd like you to bring it to me. you want me to go into a madhouse full of insane angels... with just a machete and a flashlight? chosen one is destined to become a great general, isn't he? so prove it to me. show me your markings are worth my alliance. -what's the key for? that's my business. i mean, i'm looking for a powerful weapon, and you walk into my city claiming to be one. i mean, what are the odds? (man) julian. -let's see what you're made of. alex, don't go in there. listen, you heard him. this is the only way we're getting an alliance. new delphi has soldiers and empyrean steel. -it's the only thing that can kill an archangel. i'm going in with you. no, noma. alex, no way. look out for pete. -this city's dangerous. i need you to keep vega safe if i don't make it out of here. i'll do it. but i need you to get a message to vega. tell them gabriel's alive. -the survivors of the human race are gonna need to stick together if we're gonna kill gabriel. done. so the angel in question will be wearing the key on a chain around his neck. if you find it, then keep moving. good luck. -(man over loudspeaker) attention... v-1 curfew is now in effect. (man) they were killed by v-1 rebels. zoe holloway escaped. laurel, wes murdered that girl. -harper... her name was harper. and we had to do it, okay? what? how can you say that? -i needed her confession... all her secrets and all her sins. she wouldn't tell me anything. i tried. now that she's dead, we're safe. whatever secrets she had died with her. -she was the last one. now i have everyone's confession. i'm ready for the celebration tonight. it doesn't make sense. why are these secrets so important? -why does everyone have to confess them to you? after tonight, you'll be gone. you need their secrets before then because it's not a celebration. it's a sacrifice. isn't it? -laurel, tell me i'm wrong. we have to do it. every five years, the prophet told us to do it, and i volunteered. that grave isn't for harper. no. -it's for me. (gabriel) when vega sees their queen has fallen, they'll lose hope, make it so much easier to wipe clean this filthy slate. ah, briathos. could you get into vega? then go. -you deserve a holiday. and you can bring back a souvenir, the head of claire riesen. my army will be here by sundown. new delphi won't give us alex. we'll liberate him. -there a problem? you want to attack two cities at once? the last time we did that, michael was at our side. we don't need him. i've learned a great deal since then. -and when i'm done, father will see who's always been his most loyal son. (michael) here, we strike here first. what, the temple? no. it's a sanctuary. -spare it. be merciful, michael. these people don't deserve their god. they are still father's children. and yet he gives us the task of punishment. -i will do as i see fit. brother, your blood is too hot. and yours is too cool. we should use the amphorae. these vessels contain darkness to drive them to madness, brimstone to blind and burn, and blood to drown the survivors. -the elements of god's wrath are swift, clean, honorable. honor is to look one's enemy in the eye. but you wouldn't know that. you've never killed a human with your bare hands. you send soldiers to battle and use the amphorae, but it's not the same. -you don't know the beauty of it. in winter, when blood spills on snow, it steams. you're insane. michael. you think i'm just gonna stand by and watch you kill yourself? -i have to. one of us does. one of our leaders wouldn't do it, and then the fire went out, and the possessed came in. they killed my friends until our leader did what he promised. then the fire lit again, and we were safe. -you're afraid god won't return. so am i. you've let a false prophet take advantage of your fear. but i hear god's voice. we all do. -but i don't! and if it were father, i promise he would have something to say to me! i'm one of his children too. michael, i have a responsibility. -that mean anything to you? it did... once. father's wrath must have a face. and that duty is mine. how say you, lyrae? -a death is as glorious as birth. why else would father have made them mortal? michael, you value a higher angel's counsel over your own brother's? justice must be done. no, i won't allow cruelty. -father's orders were to cast these sinners out into the darkness. i want them to suffer the limits of their bodies. spill blood, but do so with honor. always. michael... -farewell, sodom and gomorrah. (woman) there, that's better. are you afraid of the dark, soldier? don't be. it's lovely in the dark. -ah! turn out the light! turn out the light! (man) over here. (alex) open! -(man) you okay, man? yeah. who are you? i'm from vega. (man #2) vega? -general riesen? wow. i didn't think it was possible, gates, but you have managed to turn this place from charming hovel to just hovel. well, hello to you too, claire riesen. and all this is the price of genius. -a little method, little madness, you know. to what do i owe this honor? i have a favor to ask. oh, straight to the point, just like your pop. well, i'll try not to take it personally, but i'm kind of busy, so... -how busy? where'd you find that? my dad never came empty-handed. you are a quick study. last time the general brought you here, -i don't think you were even old enough to have a drink. it's been years, right? yeah, well, things change. gates, i need you to find someone for me. zoe holloway, she's a v-1, wants to overthrow my government. -what, did she say that in a strongly worded letter? no, she tried to kill me. she escaped prison, and my soldiers can't track her. but i bet you can. claire, i'd love to help you, but i'm an engineer. -i power the city. i build you a bomb here and there, but i don't play detective. come on, gates. you and my dad built this city. you know it better than anyone. -you could find her. please, it's important. yes, it is, but i can't, not now, sorry. gates, i'm not asking. yeah, well, now it's an order. -tinker with that thing later. you know what? this bad boy is a processing core from a generator that powers three floors in agri-tower b, all stalks of corn. it went kaboom at 3:00 a.m. so, i don't fix this, we can kiss those crops good-bye. -there are rumors of a rebellion, gates. you know what those grow up into? civil wars. it's the curse of the bambino. the boston red sox traded away babe ruth and bought the team 86 years bad luck. -michael was our babe ruth. after he left, everything fell apart. i mean, he was the only angel that gave a damn about us. yeah, well, maybe we never really knew him. look, give me an hour, and i'll see what i can do, okay? -thanks. general riesen, what the hell are you doing down here? "general"? sam, you know this guy? why'd he call you sam? -wait. who the hell are you? eli. i'm a prisoner, like him. wait. -w-why is he calling you sam? that's my name now. i didn't want to tell him who i really was. too dangerous. i've been down here for weeks. -i am the leader of vega. why are you a prisoner down here? i killed a monster, an eight-ball. claire... my claire, is she okay? she's fine. -i left to protect her and the baby. my daughter... she's pregnant? you just left her on her own? i told you, -i left to keep her safe. i didn't just run away like you and michael did. there's something down here i need to get. some eight-ball has a key around his neck. it's a round copper disc. -but i'm starting to think it's bullshit, and i was just sent down here to die. no, i've seen it, out there. but, no, look, it's dangerous. so, no, just get us out of here, please. no, show me the eight-ball... now. -(janeck) what's taking so long? never fear. i have the perfect plan of attack in mind. michael... (arif) my lord, my lord! -help me! the angels have come. they'll slaughter us all. no, no, no, no, no. you are not safe here, friend. -you must go, go now. no, no, no, you must come too, or they'll kill you also! how we've angered god, for him to let his angels upon us! ah! you're one of them. -aah! now! go, friend, go now. i will not hurt you. you're not my friend! -aah! are you afraid? no, i am not. is this it? this is what you'll use? -why are you here, michael? i'm leaving... tonight. i know i can't change your mind, but i won't watch you die. i can't. i wouldn't have asked you to. -i can't save you, but there is someone i can. alex, the boy who's like a son. he needs me. some promises can't be broken. you taught me that. -good-bye, laurel. when you came here, you were lost. i saw in your eyes, you were running. if you go back out there... please promise me you'll be careful. i know you don't believe in the things we do, but... -i hope you find something you can believe in. i have. now i know father's still out there. i have faith, because he meant for me to come here to find what i'd lost, to find you. the world ended, but all that was good and beautiful didn't die with it. -you are afraid. yes. hey, what's going on? i found your rebels. you found zoe? -where is she? uh-huh. some abandoned warehouse behind the flamingo. i have my eye on every watt in the city. so when v-1s siphon off a little juice to power a lightbulb or a space heater, -i let it go, but this time... huh, you do that? yeah, why? you want me to stop? no, just didn't know you did it. -okay. so this warehouse is just lit up like times square. someone in there just started using massive wattage in there, way more than a lightbulb. it could be computers, radios, communications. if your gal's trying to start a revolution... -yeah, i get it, command central. now we can get zoe. jackpot. (man) thank you so much. (laurel) welcome. -(man 2) here, sit. (michael) gabriel, i need you. (michael) you'll pay for what you've done! savage, barbarian. unspeakable. -men gutted, hung by their entrails, babes torn limb from limb before their mothers, and he delighted in it! father asked for their death, not their torture! gabriel. you have killed with your own hands for the first time. brother. and to rid our community of secret and sin with confession and sacrifice. -and i, laurel, have taken those secrets and sins into my heart. as i die, so do they. (michael) stop! i'm here to take your place. (michael) gabriel, what have you done? -archangel. stay down! for eons, we've shed human blood on father's command. it's a terrible task, but it's ours alone. but the unholy joy you took with your duty shocked me more than any! -is such joy for archangels alone? for i gleaned it all from you, michael. your brutality... was a glorious inspiration. you are my muse, michael. (gabriel) brother... (lyrae) no, michael, you wouldn't. -lyrae, you have broken the will of god and must be punished. no, you wouldn't, michael. i cast you down to the lowest sphere of heaven. gabriel. gabriel, stop him. -you will no longer hold the exalted rank of higher angel, thereby your body shall be taken from you. stop him, gabriel. i banish your spirit to the cold ether of the outer sphere. oh, what satire... that you should be judge and executioner. to the darkness, far from the warmth of father's light. -gabriel! michael. you can't do this. it won't work. (wes) get out of here, you son of a bitch. -no, wait. why won't it work? you have to take the secrets and sins of this town into your heart, all of them. well, you haven't taken mine. am i not part of your town? -you gave me shelter, fought the enemy shoulder to shoulder. so, unless she takes my secrets too, then all of this is for nothing. you don't belong here. no, he's right. (laurel) he's one of us. -michael, will you confess your secrets and your sins to me? i have killed. no. no, i have slaughtered. cities so scorched, no life may ever grow again. -my fury destroyed the innocent and the guilty and those i loved. i was the one who passed judgment, but it's i who must be judged. i have to take your place as sacrifice. you give me the secrets to carry. i'll take them with me. -michael, you can't. i won't let you. i'm not the man you think i am, but i can be if you'll let me. you're crazy. it won't work. -it will work. father just told me it would. (alex) why do they take the eyes? they're jealous of us. i came here once. -it was a military defense bunker... big, like norad. you don't look so good. well, i'm sick. it's my heart. did you know about the eight-balls before you came here, that they live peacefully with humans? -why would you think that? maybe somebody told you. _ _ i'm gonna need that key. -ah, you son of a bi... oh. oh, god. damn it. oh. -sanctify this vessel. protect this body and soul. what are you doing? come into the light. what did you just do? -how did you do that? (alex) get up. come on, get up. you all right? yeah. -these missions made my dad crazy. he used to hate not being on the ground. lady riesen, they're approaching target. i want zoe holloway taken alive, but if she resists, shoot to kill. ma'am. -(man) let's move. move. your side, your side. covered. (man) come out! -show me your hands! stand clear. it's clear. no sign of holloway. what? -here! go! move! movement! get down on the ground! -wait, wait, wait. that's zoe. (zoe) go, go, go! move it out! damn it, he had her. -(man) left side! left side! michael, when you came to us, you were a stranger. now you belong to us. will you take the secrets and sins of our town into your heart? -yes, i will. it should be me. your grace is a light that shines in the darkness. it's what's going to lead father home. hey. -_ it's happening. i, michael, take the secrets and sins of my people into my heart. as i die, so do they. thank you. -it'll work. it has to. michael. father's will be done. what are you doing? -lyrae spoke the truth. i am father's sword. i, too, must be punished. no. gabriel, please, i beg you. -never. i'll sooner take my own life. forgive me. i shamed you for your mercy, for the light inside you, a light i covet. mine has long since gone dim. -i fear it will not kindle. it can, and it will. no more, brother. i'm done. perhaps we are never truly done. -thank you. (claire) sergeant mills, please, take a seat. i wanted to thank you for your efforts in tonight's mission. well, thank you, lady riesen. sergeant, why did you hesitate... when you missed the shot? -you could have captured zoe. it was dark. my team was close. i didn't want to hit anyone else by mistake. you don't make mistakes. -expert marksman, best in your unit, i hear... flawless on a 500-yard moving-target test. how far away was zoe? 50, 60 yards? lady riesen, i'm sorry i missed. but that's not a crime, is it? -no... not unless you did it on purpose. what? (gates) claire, i've got... i'm sorry, lady riesen. it can wait. -look, i told you, it was dark. i didn't want to hit one of my guys. you had a clear shot. oh, yeah? what the hell do you know about guns? -corporal, give me your beretta. now... i'm no expert or anything, but at that range with a clear shot, even i wouldn't have missed. sergeant mills, how many other traitors are there in my military? go to hell, you bitch. -take him out. come on, the exit's up this way. come on. general, come on! no, i can't go. -it's right here, come on! come on, general. come on, you got it. i can't make it. come on, buddy. -i can't. i can't. shit! open the door! alex? -open the door! alex, you son of a bitch. i never thought you were coming out of there. thanks, noma. uh, who's this guy? -riesen? general. ah. lady riesen. don't tell me you're praying. -faith helps little children sleep at night, but it won't help me protect my city. you know what? i did not recognize you before. hmm, i didn't recognize myself. curse of the bambino lasted 86 years, right? -not 87. the red sox didn't give up. neither will i. well, i'd bet on you. ah. -you know what? a lot has changed, but not that smile. so... what did you want? um... surveillance camera caught a shot of your rebels when they escaped, and, uh, that's one of the crates the agri-tower guys use to deliver food. i don't understand. -they left behind all their gear and guns, and they took this... why? what's in it? i don't think it's corn. hey, my key... do you have it? -yes, i do. (julian) no one's made it out of there alive. orpheus only escaped the underworld because he had a magic lyre. how did you do it? like you said, i'm a powerful weapon. -now i want my alliance. oh, no, that man's a murderer. he killed an angel in my city. take him back to the asylum, where he belongs. that is general edward riesen of vega. -part of the pact between our two cities, which you now owe me... you'll pardon all of his crimes. find them quarters. you have your alliance. welcome to new delphi. all of you. -let's talk about vega. (michael) sweet dreams. jeez. please, don't hurt me. oh, but i will, wes... much more than just hurt you. -it'll pale in comparison to what you did to harper. you see, killing was once a speciality of mine. that's all behind me now. but for you, i'd make an exception. lay a hand on anyone else, and i'll destroy you. -speak of this to no one. i'll be watching. am i understood? you were incredibly successful. one of the prettiest paint jobs i've seen on the show. -you've created these dimensions. it's very smart. thank you very much. (mckenzie) previously on face off... logan's beautiful body paint carried him to victory, and rob became team rayce's third straight artist to be sent home. -now nine artists remain, and tonight they will tackle a terrifying challenge for a movie legend, clive barker. hello, face off contestants. oh, shit. my mold's cracked. -i don't know what i'm gonna do. how did this happen? my face is a frickin' disaster. i do not know what i'm looking at. (mckenzie) in the end, only one will win a vip trip from kryolan professional make-up to one of their 85 international locations, a brand-new 2015 fiat 500, and $100,000. -this is face off. congrats on that win. thanks. i got to celebrate for about five minutes, until i found out rob was going home. adam and i are the only ones left on team rayce, so it's time for other teams to start losing people. -all right. i hope i can keep bringing it, but it's gonna be tough. whiskey a go go. that's cool. (adam) this place is legendary. -all right. so i'm pretty excited for this. hey, guys. welcome to the most legendary music venue on the sunset strip, the world-famous whisky a go go. since 1964, this stage has featured incredible performances from iconic bands like the doors, -led zeppelin, the ramones, and the sex pistols. wow. are you guys ready to rock? yes! good, because this week's spotlight challenge is inspired by a true master of the macabre. -he has spawned some of the most terrifying characters in the history of horror films, including candyman and hellraiser's pinhead. clive barker. wow. not only am i a huge horror fan. i am a massive hellraiser fan. -so i'm pumped. so in the 1980s, freddy krueger, jason voorhees and michael myers terrified audiences as silent killers hell-bent on destruction. however, in clive's now-classic film hellraiser, he essentially redefined the cinematic villain by making pinhead intelligent, eloquent, and, best of all, stylish. perhaps it's best if you hear it from clive himself. -hello, face off contestants. i'm clive barker, and i'm very excited about this challenge. when i was making demons for a new age, it was the punk clubs i went to where i looked for fresh inspiration, fresh blood if you will. i would love to see you create something new. go to the very cutting edge of current fashion, and marry that with images that are startling and terrifying. -have fun. so for this week's challenge, like clive, you'll find your inspiration from today's futuristic fashions. (emily) oh, this is so cool. your spotlight challenge is to choose one of these stunning avant-garde outfits and use it as an inspiration for your very own stylish and intelligent horror villain. your villains will be wearing these outfits on the reveal stage. -and by choosing the outfit, you're also choosing your model for this week's challenge. jamie, you're up first. megan. matt. sarah. -elena. alex. naele. augustine. kerstin. -come on, kodi. all right, guys, in true muse fashion, your models will stay with you while you work on your designs. good luck. bye. turn around. -i'm looking at kodi's outfit, and i find a shape that is just different, and i want to run with it. so my concept is a fallen angel who is cursed with a cage around his head. so your head will be, like, right there, and this is gonna go over it. it's almost spider-like. mm-hmm. -you know? so i was thinking we can go black widow-ish. yeah. my concept is a female who has been scorned by men, so she attracts them through her beauty and then kills them. i'm so excited. -(julian) such a weird combination, old relic necklace and the futuristic jacket. this character needs to be intelligent, but also scary and creepy. so my concept is a demon that goes after people that wear this amulet and kills them. his whole head is one giant mouth with finger-like appendages that rip the souls out of its victims. yeah. -look at me. (kelly) ooh, that's cool. my character is very vain, very obsessed with plastic surgery. then she starts going under her own knife. i also want to give her a mask. -so she appears to be super sleek and stylish, then she takes off the mask to reveal the ultra, ultra nastiness. with how fierce you are, girl, it's gonna be so rad. all right, thanks a lot. i'll see you soon. yep. -(emily) we get to the lab. we have 5 1/2 hours today. and i really want to sculpt to finish the face and block out that extreme cowl, because if it doesn't look good in clay, i want to have enough time to scrap it and create something else. clive barker said, "we want to see something different." -so i'm gonna try something different. ooh, hey. hello, guys. that's a cool costume. right now i don't have a solid concept. -i'm feeling like there's not a whole lot that i can do with this without going too obvious. so i'm getting a little frustrated. so that's what i'm stuck with. no, it's not "stuck with." you've been given an opportunity to expand on it. -stephanie is having some serious conceptual problems, and i implore her just to take some time and think about it before starting to sculpt. i kind of want to just start throwing clay down and playing. i think this is a cool challenge, to kind of create things that are just bizarre. mine has this big silver tutu, so i come up with this metal-like surface that is encapsulating the back of her head, which is gonna be this leather-bound skull cap. and i'm feeling pretty good about it. -i think i've landed on a theme of poisons. my character's going to be a snake charmer who has turned killer and has developed an immunity to venom. he's going to look sickly and anemic and have boils. and to suggest his intelligence, i've actually come up with this grid-like pattern down both sides of the arms. -it's a means of cataloging all the different poisons that he creates. the one thing i'd suggest is making bigger grids... yeah. just so from afar it doesn't read like a busy mess kind of a thing. does that make sense? -yeah, good point. (darla) i picked the costume that screams "post-apocalyptic." and i'm doing a demon character. but i want to make sure visually he looks completely different than what you would necessarily expect of a demon. hi, everybody. -hey. hi. so it looks very interesting. (adam) she's pretty much a south american goddess that was resurrected, and she kills people by turning them to gold. (michael) are you meaning this as a hat? -some kind of headdress, but it's also a part of her. i would blend this off onto her nose, and then it actually becomes her. okay. she comes out kind of seeming all nice and pretty and beautiful... right. -then reveal this nasty, nasty mouth. you could even put a little blood there and shoot a little water, and it'll just kind of drip. then it really looks horror when that piece comes off. what are you pounding on? a cowl. -a cowl. i've been battling the concept all day. let's see what you're doing there. right now you've got a head piece with nothing going on here. an interesting thing to do would be put little hooks on the ends of these things so it looks like it's hooked into her skin all the way around. -yeah, that's an idea. go for it. ehh... go for it, you know. listen. -you're on the way; you're on the way. the idea is, put one big hole in the back of his head. it's almost like he has these appendages that sucks the souls through this hole. mm-hmm. -i think you need to think somewhere of having something into it that is either pulling skin or something that is going to read as horror. mm-hmm. thanks, everybody. see ya. thank you. -bye, thank you. i'm really embarrassed that mr. westmore came through and i didn't have anything to show him. it's frustrating because i feel like this should be my element. i'm a haunter. i do scary all the time. -this shouldn't be that hard. i can't not make anything. i can't say, "oh, give me another day to think about it." stupid. and at this point in the competition, if you don't make something really cool, you could be going home. -(stephanie) so, it's day one of our clive barker challenge, and i'm having trouble, like, nailing down a solid concept. and i'm just super frustrated. what parts of that do you like? (laura) i'm definitely worried about stephanie. she's such a good concept person, and for her to struggle, it just breaks my heart. -i decide to just keep concepting for the rest of day one. no more sculpting. i have 9 1/2 hours tomorrow. and hopefully i'll get it done. do something like this, not just... boom... into it. -it's just that subtle change of form. (anthony) jamie is having some trouble refining the face, so i keep pointing out some things just to clean up. maybe you want to get a little bit more. oh, yeah, down... in here. -uh-huh. and we talk about incorporating elements of the spider to be a little bit more into the clive barker universe. we'll see. just keep refining; get all the details. -i got to get going. okay. and have fun, most importantly. okay. i'm leaving. -it's time for the coaches to leave, and i'm pretty confident with what both adam and logan have done today. but at the same time, i only have two artists left on my team, so i'm really not feeling relaxed in this stage. just win, okay? yeah, yeah. -just win. have fun. how you feeling about it? (julian) pretty good. struggling a little bit. -think i'm headed in the right direction, though. i decide to follow mr. westmore's advice and work on making the face look a little less human... a lot less human. have to do a lot more detail sculpting, but i feel really good about this concept, and i think i have a good chance. i'd really like to win this one. yeah, same. -30 minutes, everybody. that's time, everybody. it's day two, and i'm feeling a little better than day one. i know what i'm gonna do now. basically it's gonna be gross skin, like, peeling up and being, like, hooked forward. -ooh, okay. my concept for this character is some sort of seer, and then the way she kills is that she tells people their futures and how they're gonna die, and if they try to avoid it, then she ends up killing them herself. the only advice i'd give is to try to keep her somewhat beautiful. pretty, yeah. i have to have something sculpted, molded, and ready for foam today. -so i decide to just go with a cowl that's manageable for me in one day. (logan) today i've got a lot to do. i have to get the face done. i also have to get these arm pieces done. these are gonna be, like, the different poisons that he injects... -mm-hmm. and the different things it causes? yeah. i'm sculpting with monster clay, which is a wax-based clay, and it's great for fine detail. you can melt it with a heat gun or torch, and you can get certain effects that i think will really help with the character design that i've come up with. -i like what you're doing here. (anthony) i think it's cool. i'd start working on the face, you know? well, i was gonna mold this and then go work on the face. so i've got my cowl sculpted. -now i need to get it molded as soon as possible, because i still need to make a face piece. the overall design for ben's cowl is really awesome. hopefully the face looks equally cool. no, the string isn't long enough. for the cowl, i want to fabricate a cage that interlocks with the face. -and i'm really inspired by string art. one thing that was really important is, like, make sure it's something that clive hasn't seen before. yeah. so, i just... (laura) i haven't seen anything like this before. it's going to have a wonderful profile and silhouette. -sweet. (adam) i finish my cowl, and i'm actually really pleased with it. now i have to get it molded and out the door. so it's really important that i take my time, because it's gonna be a two-part mold, and if one half is slightly overlapping, it'll lock my mold. it doesn't look like this is all stretched skin. -mm-hmm. darla is still kind of struggling with her cowl. she's sculpting the stretched skin idea, but, for whatever reason, it doesn't seem to be translating. so i just grab a head and i start sculpting on it to show her how to sculpt wrinkles. these wrinkles, they go all the way. -yeah. we're leaving. all righty. cool, good luck. awesome. -okay? sweet, thank you. leaving day two, i think everybody seems to be in a good place, but i'm still worried about jamie. her face has to look beautiful in order for this character to work, and right now she still has a long way to go on it. bye, guys. -keep kicking ass. good luck. i get my cowl molded, and i start to open it. oh, shit. i notice that my mold's cracked. -and i'm like, shit. i'm trying not to freak out. i'm looking at the crack in the mold, and it's a pretty big crack. i mean, i've seen some big cracks. this is the biggest crack i've seen. -this is my only piece, and if i mess this up, i'm gonna go out on stage with nothing. so this needs to get fixed. (adam) mold cracked in half. it's day two of our horror villain challenge, and my mold's cracked. -i'm freaking out because it's just all i got. this is my only piece. you got to be fucking kidding me. i grab a plumber's epoxy and use it to seal the crack. i got it fixed, but i'm worried -i'm gonna have a lot of patchwork on application day. (ben) man, you need to start molding. i know. last time i was in an individual challenge, i sacrificed sculpting detail in order to get the molds done on time. -it was a really bad idea. i don't want to do that again. so i don't see how you're not freaking out. what's the worst that could happen? you're not gonna get your cowl out. -ben's looking over at me and thinks that i'm crazy, but i'd rather risk it. i just want to make sure i put out something good. so now it's time to work on my futuristic surgical fetish mask. it needs to be smooth, sleek, and sharp to reveal the nastiness underneath. the mask is gonna work with my wardrobe to add that clive barker element to my character. -looking pretty freaking cool right now. that's time, everybody. (stephanie) i'm feeling okay. i've got a general idea of what the character is and what it's going to look like. i just have to attack it for application day. -nice shirt. you too. (kelly) it's application day. we have four hours in the lab, one hour for last looks. oh, my god. -my face is a frickin' disaster. how did this happen? i don't know, just could be one of those things. it has the worst second skinning i have ever encountered. -so you can... oh, my god, that's so... work it in. (anthony) kelly's face is mutilated. but to be honest, i think it could help it. with the type of character she's doing, -that could be a happy accident, because if someone's continuously cutting themselves, it wouldn't be in such perfect symmetry. it would be a little bit more sporadic and spontaneous. but, you know... it's okay; it's okay. -i can work with it. she's mutilated. yeah, she's mutilated. got some of those cuts, work it, part of your story. it might make it more in the horror realm than the alien realm. -(kelly) yeah. 'sup? how you doing? hey. so you have, like, the back of your head too. -oh, it looks like a spider body. yep. these are all test samples of poisons on your arm. ohh. today i'm starting with the arms. -i know that i have to be very delicate, otherwise i'm gonna be tearing my prosthetics apart. rotate in just a little bit. thank you. so one arm at a time, i lay it down very carefully. -they're fragile, especially where the joint bends, so don't do any excessive movements. i just hope they're able to hold up between now and the reveal stage. i'm cooling down the black mesh into the eye area of the face prosthetic. hopefully it will block out my model's eyes completely and he'll still be able to see through it perfectly. it came out pretty good. -i am super relieved, because the crack i was trying to fix on the cowl mold didn't even show up in the piece. so, as far as these eyes, push them out and then cut them? this is what i'd do. right now we're just making sure the eye slits are big enough. i'll come in, and then i'll kind of ride the line. -see what i'm doing there? yeah. come under your nose. i'm bouncing back and forth between sponging, airbrushing, and flicking just to break up all of the solid colors. all right, tilt your head up for me. -i'm having to spend a little more time on the area where the cowl comes over the eye, because certain parts are lifting and i have to give it back down. stupid things. it's looking a little rough, but i can't let myself get frustrated. are you gonna paint this whole thing black? well, i was thinking of doing, like, black under there and then a lighter tone on the top. -the paint scheme i'm gonna go with is, dark colors come in across the cowl piece all the way to the front of the face and keep the front very light, because i don't want to take away from the skin color aspect of it. and then here on the face, this his gonna be fun. i'm a little worried about her pieces looking like realistic skin texture, but hopefully she can pull it off. keep it scary but pretty. -yeah, i like that. oh, gosh. (emily) i'm fumbling with the webbing part of my cage that's on top of the cowl. and the left side starts falling. so now the string is falling off, and it looks disastrous. -i'm going home for this, i'm telling you. this is atrocious. i look at the clock. i do not have time to fumble with this. so i scrap it, and i decide to throw feathers into it and just leave it. -and i'll work with the feathers later. ten minutes. we're running out of time, and i'm so far behind on paint, i'm worried that i won't be able to actually complete the full beauty makeup. it's gonna crack. -you think it's gonna crack? i'm trying to do it as fast as i can, 'cause there's a lot to cover on this thing. that's time, everybody. (ben) a big part of my concept is the beauty aspect of it, so it's really important to get that down. but now i've got to wait until last looks, and now i'm worried. -come over here. get out of the way. let's get this done. it's last looks; i have one hour left. -and i have to finish my paint job. the highlights and shadowing aren't working. the skin tones aren't matching. i'm just struggling. oh, god, all this disease that i got to paint. -i got to do your eyes. i'm rushing around like a madhouse, trying to get this beauty makeup done. close. it's not gonna work. (kelly) these teeth are not fitting. -all i can do right now is make that mouth look nasty. 30 minutes. all right, time, everybody. thanks, kodi, good luck. i'm really worried, because it's not as finished as i wanted it to be. -so i'm just hoping that i'm at least safe. welcome to the face off reveal stage. as you know, one of you will be going home tonight. but before we see your creations, say hello to our series judges. glenn hetrick. -good evening. hello. ve neill. hello, everybody. hello, ve. -and neville page. hi, guys. hello. and joining us tonight is a very special guest. he's the co-head of clive barker's production company, -seraphim films. please give a warm welcome to mark alan miller. pleasure to be here. thank you so much for being here. thank you for having me. -i'm extremely excited. he is clive barker's right-hand man, so to hear what mark has to say is gonna be really interesting. all right, guys, this week your spotlight challenge was to choose an avant-garde outfit to inspire a stylish and intelligent horror villain in the vein of hellraiser's pinhead. so let's take a look at your creations. (emily) i'm nervous. -it looks a lot different than everything else, which could be a bad thing or a good thing. i definitely could have done way better on this challenge. i know i'm on the bottom. (darla) i am a little bit worried that maybe the character is not scary enough. but i am happy with the way it looks, and hopefully the judges like it. -(adam) it is the best thing i could picture in that outfit, so i'm like, "all right, cool, mission accomplished." (jamie) from far away, i like the paint job. but up close, it's really rough. they're gonna see all the mistakes in there. (julian) even from a distance, i can see how much he's able to emote with his face. -just giving this really creepy vibe. and i'm hoping the judges agree. (ben) she's got this creepy vibe to her. i see the white face with the silver tips. and overall i'm pretty happy. -i don't know whether or not to think i am unique in the way it looks or if i'm completely off. i don't really know. (kelly) she looks nasty! and i'm like, "you know, you're pretty fucked up, kelly. -did all right." all right, judges, why don't you take a closer look? there's no texture in the prosthetic piece. (mark) it's not so much monstrous. it's more sympathetic. -(neville) what is going on here? i don't know, but it's cool. it's beautiful coloring on it. yeah, i love the paint job. this feels like an alien character. -i was gonna say the same thing. yeah. i do love the originality of this in sculpting. i would have liked to have seen a lot more of this gold being brought down onto all these highlighted areas. (glenn) oh, jeez. -this does not even resemble skin. this chin and nose and forehead don't say, "clive barker." (jamie) i'm mainly worried about the paint work. it's too flat. this could be a disaster. -tell us who made your favorite horror villain tonight on twitter using #faceoff (ve) this does not even resemble skin. (jamie) i am freaking out. the paint work is too flat. the quality of it isn't where it needs to be. -this is even better close than it was far away. yeah. this is the first time i'm scared today. and that's good. i love these weird asymmetrical shapes. -all of these notes tie into the wardrobe, and it's the only makeup that addresses that so completely. (neville) oh, yeah. gets a little soft and full through here, but up in here, that's really well-handled. (glenn) oh, the eyes, it's creepy. (ve) she is creepy. -we have pain. (mark) we have disgusting and sexy. i love it. oh. okay, the judges have scored your creations. -let's find out what they thought. adam... logan... darla... congratulations, because you are all safe and can head back to the makeup room. -thank you. oh, my god. the rest of you were the best and the worst this week. and the judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work. julian, you're up. -(glenn) give us the backstory of this character and how clive's work inspired you to design this. well, the first thing i noticed when i chose the costume was the amulet, and i figured that that was some sort of cursed object, and whoever wears it, he comes after them. and his whole head is a second mouth that rips the souls out of his victims. i am absolutely thrilled with what you did this week. i am a huge clive barker fan, and i think you did an amazing job of working within his world. -you're obviously a clive fan, and you know your stuff. (glenn) well done. thank you. on a scale of one to ten in the creepiness, he is a 15 1/2. i love the paint job. -i think this character was very successful. thank you. i don't think it's that creative. i think it's a very good "now" design. i don't think it's a very next-gen version of clive barker world. -he's definitely scary. i do love the idea of the mouth. i love the jaw line. he's very cool. thank you. -julian, if you'd please step back. thanks. emily, please step up. would you please tell us how your avant-garde wardrobe inspired your character? i had the crow feather and the chain mail skirt. -so i decided to go with a fallen angel. this is a great makeup. thanks. (ve) i absolutely love the paint job, and the silhouette on this character is phenomenal. oh, thanks. -what you've achieved is something that's iconic and extraordinarily memorable. i think this is beautiful. thank you. i'm not quite sure it falls into the clive barker world, but i do think it is something extraordinary. thank you. -emily, you can step back. thank you. all right, let's talk to stephanie. okay. so tell us about your clive barker character and how the fashion motivated some of your choices. -she's basically, like, a seer, but she was cursed into, like... i don't know, it just was a much more twisted form than she had originally intended. i don't think you know what it is that you were trying to execute. it's so nonspecific in terms of sculptural form that i simply do not know what i'm looking at. yeah. -another huge problem with this is, it is not conducive to your model's facial features. you've weakened her chin, which evokes sympathy, and it does not use her jaw line or her nose to convey any of the things that we were looking for. stephanie, please step back. kelly, you're next. could you tell me a little about your character? -(kelly) she was obsessed with plastic surgery, so she is just continuously under her own knife. well, i'd like to applaud you for marrying sex and violence. (mark) that's definitely a big part of what we do. we have a new hellraiser anthology comic book coming out, and i could very easily see this character in one of those stories. oh. -the integration of your wardrobe through that vacu-form thing is an astounding touch. it brings the avant-garde into the clive barker world. thank you so much. that green dress and the red hair are phenomenal together. she is the most disturbing thing i have seen in ages. -kelly, thank you. you can step back. yeah, girl. jamie, please step forward. please tell us how your wardrobe inspired this clive barker character. -i thought black widow lady who attracts people through her beauty. the legs are coming out, grabbing the rest of her face. i am not thrilled with this makeup. the spider growing out of the back of her head and grabbing her skin, it just feels alien/monster-y in a way that's not part of the clive barker mythology. that's okay. -(ve) this paint job is completely flat. it doesn't look like skin. this is a failure this week. okay. there's stuff on it that says it's a klingon, it's a borg, not at all in the world of clive barker. -it's very problematic. jamie, please step down. ben. would you please give us a little backstory on her? (ben) she was a fetish model, always worried about her looks, and now she reaps the souls of other people who are vain. -she is really quite exquisite when you get up close. i love how you use the inspiration from her bodice here and put that in her cowl as well as her neck. you brought the fashion into the makeup, which is really a great idea. thank you. (mark) i love the story. -i love the corrupted porcelain doll look. and i know clive said to go to the avant-garde, and you, perhaps more than any other, have done that. thank you. i absolutely love the back of the head. it's so cool. -and i appreciate how smooth that is and the detail that you put into it. i think it's a brilliant and daring combination of all the different things in what is an extraordinarily complex challenge. thank you. ben, please step back. all right, thank you, guys. -if you'd please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate. all right, judges, let's start with the looks you liked the most tonight. how about julian's work? (glenn) he hit all the right notes for me. (neville) it's the one that is the most standout in the clive barker world. -(mark) up close, definitely one of the most terrifying of the bunch. all right, let's move on to emily. (ve) the silhouette of that character is just unbelievable. it's freaky. i mean, she's amazing, this kid. -it's an incredible makeup, but it's nowhere near the barker universe. all right, let's move on to kelly. (neville) talk about a makeup that feels so perfectly suited for this challenge. (mark) it was scary. it was sexy. -the story behind it was maybe my favorite of the night. i agree. all right, judges, let's move on to ben. (glenn) i think that it is the most astute treatment of bringing fashion into the makeup. (mark) it's got pleasure and pain. -it's got grace and grotesquerie. and that's all that we can ask for. all right, judges, let's move on to the looks that didn't quite work for you this week. how about stephanie? (glenn) it is not avant-garde. -it sure as hell isn't clive barker. and it's not scary. i don't think she has any idea where she as going with it. i don't think it was executed particularly well. all right, let's move on to jamie. -(ve) the paint job was atrocious. it did not look like skin. and the black widow wasn't even painted properly. it had nothing to do with clive's world at all, even on a technical level. the chin and the nose look like melted wax. -all right, judges, have you made up your minds? easy. okay, let's bring them back out. all right, glenn, tell us about tonight's top looks. julian, you gave us a sophisticated and intelligent horror villain that definitely felt like it was in the world of clive barker. -and kelly, your character and concept told a great story, and you did a fantastic job tapping into barker imagery. and ben, we were thrilled by your high-concept thinking and loved the way that you integrated your costume into the back of the head. so who is the winner of this challenge? the winner of tonight's challenge is... all right, who is the winner of this challenge? -the winner of tonight's challenge is... ben. while some of the characters may have better captured the classic clive barker aesthetic, you gave us a glimpse into the future. great job. thank you. -second win for me. it's extremely cool, especially since this is a clive barker challenge. i'm sure that he's gonna see this creature, which feels awesome. ben, congratulations. you, julian, emily, and kelly are all safe and can head back to the makeup room along with the coaches. -all right, that means the two of you are on the bottom this week, and one of you will be going home. please step forward. glenn, tell us about the bottom looks. stephanie, the prophet seer concept could have been very interesting, but you let your indecision compromise many of the aspects of your final makeup. and jamie, we get wanting to draw on the spider vibe of the outfit, but that concept was heavily undermined by all the technical issues with your makeup. -so who is going home tonight, glenn? the person going home tonight is... jamie. despite all your best efforts, it seems like you just couldn't pull all of your ideas together to deliver a clean makeup this week. jamie, i'm so sorry, but you have been eliminated. -stephanie, you are safe this week and can head back to the makeup room. jamie, i personally feel that we're quite fortunate to have experienced your talents on face off. and i know that this week it got a little away from you, but i know that you've also got a tremendous amount left in you. thank you. jamie, it's been so great having you here with us, but if you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit. -thank you, guys. good luck, jamie. good luck, jamie. (jamie) thank you. i'm really surprised that i'm going home. -i feel that i have a lot more to show. jamie? i've met some amazing people, and my coach is amazing. you've shown you can do great makeups. you know, you've progressed throughout the season. -so continue growing as an artist. i came out here to push myself and break out of my shell. i'm upset, but at the same time, i'm excited to look ahead. previously on grimm... -aah! what is it? a wolfsangel. it's because we got married. most likely it's the secundum naturae ordinem wesen founded during the middle ages to keep wesen pure. -officer acker's gonna be out there all night. i'll make him a snack. my wife made you a little something to eat. what the...? nick, they took him! -they took monroe! they took monroe. what? if they hurt monroe, i'm gonna kill them. i will hunt them down, and i will kill every one of them. -i didn't tell the cops nothing. i know you didn't, shaw. the only problem is... you will. no. i swear, grandmaster. -i would never say anything... no, i swear! aah! blutbad don't lie with fuchsbau. let's get things ready. -wesenrein. wesenrein. wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein. __ wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, -wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein... wesenrein. wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein, wesenrein. purify him. -aah! able to make a connection between officer acker and charlie riken? indirectly. acker got calls on a prison phone from walker williams, charlie riken's cell mate. but williams is only the message boy for riken. -are we sure that williams isn't just throwing the blame onto riken? yeah. riken's the shot caller. got off five weeks ago. that's when acker stopped calling and visiting. -we think he's the grandmaster. anyone contacting rosalee? any ransom demands for monroe? no. this is not about the money. -they're just trying to make an example out of monroe. officer acker's the only connection we have left. we have photos that tie him to shaw, plus the calls and visits to prison. not to mention he was the officer watching monroe and rosalee's house. well, that's pretty convenient. -if acker's working with the wesenrein, he has to be wesen. we have to bring him in. we have to find out. we don't have much time left. let's give sergeant wu a shot with this. -he knows acker. he's trained him. he might be able to get him to trip up before he knows we're on to him. but we have to make sure that wu can handle a woge, because if he's not ready... i mean really ready... -we'll make him ready. yeah? the phone we found in riken's house was used to call monroe's house and the spice shop and officer acker. that's good enough for me. bring him in. -make him sweat. wu... just one thing you have to do first. what? i don't know any of the names on this list. -i know who was at the wedding, but... there's got to be a connection, all right? somebody who was at your wedding has to know someone who was on trubel's list. how am i supposed to know who everybody knows without asking them? we should go over your wedding guest list. -i'll have to get it. it's on my computer. no, you sent me a copy. i think i still have it. if i can find it. -good thing i'm so messy. do you want me to call monroe's parents and let them know what's going on? no, no. i already thought about that. they'd be on the first plane here. -is that a bad thing? i don't want to have to put them through that until we know something, one way or the other. proceed. in accordance with the ancient laws of. secundum naturae ordinem wesen, all shall be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood, there shall be no atonement. -does anybody here even know what atonement means? aah! purge the impuro, that he may be worthy of our judgment. it is done. let the tribunal begin. -the charges will now be presented. bring me the scroll. get him up. remove his shackles. the defendant shall approach. -you are charged for violating the law of eigenes fleisch und blut (own flesh and blood) marrying outside your bloodline, and for this, you shall stand trial. you are also charged for violating the law of grimms freundschaft erweisen (offer friendship to a grimm) the befriending of a grimm. and for that, you shall also stand trial. so, just you and me? i want to get a couple of things clear, first. -first? there's a second? yeah. look, you know i was where you were. except for the going to the mental hospital part. -i may not have checked in, but i was there. right here. why didn't nick tell you? he was afraid i'd think he was crazy, and had i not seen what i did, i would have. same reason we didn't tell you. -you have to be ready for this. and by ready, you mean off the deep-end? there is no shallow end to this pool. this is not something anybody can wrap their head around until they have no choice but to get on board. you have to be in the right state of mind. -it's one thing when it all happens so fast you don't know what you saw, but it's different when it's right in your face, one-on-one, and you've got no place to go but the bin. but that's why we're here. you have to get to a place where this is the new normal. so how do we do that? i don't know. -i can't make the connection because i don't know the connection i'm looking for. bud was sure someone at the wedding knew shaw. yes, but i don't know shaw. kind of like when nick's mom brought adalind here. you know, she didn't know that we knew her, and adalind didn't know that she was nick's mom. -yeah, if we could only know what we didn't know before it just all blows up in our faces. i keep thinking about adalind. she was a hexenbiest and her mom was a hexenbiest. so? so adalind must have been born that way. -yeah, probably. but she lost her powers and then got them back, so... so does that mean that you don't have to be born a hexenbiest? you could become one? i think so, and what i know, which isn't very much, the transformation is pretty grueling. mm-hmm. -and the ones that are made and not born are even more deadly. why? i was just wondering what i didn't know. i wouldn't worry about adalind right now. hopefully she's just still in vienna. -now let's focus, okay? what am i not seeing here? what am i missing? bud didn't know everyone who was at your wedding, and he didn't have the list of names. he and trubel found out that shaw was in the wesenrein, and somehow shaw found out you and monroe got married. -well, then we need to talk to bud, because five of these people have plus-ones that i've never met before. you'll be in there with me, right? i mean, you never know what can happen. not everybody can handle a full woge. i'll be there. -so will hank. oh, good, and he knows i'm a... i told him not all wesen are bad. oh, okay, good, good. just leave it up to me. -right, because there's nothing scary about you. right, yeah. really? nothing at all? hey, hank. -bud, this is sergeant wu. oh, sure, yeah. sergeant wu. nice to meet you formally. i mean professionally. -not in a criminal way. so how do you want to do this? why don't you sit down? sit, right, good. good idea. -what the hell is going on? i thought you were picking him up? how're you gonna do that when he's down here? yes, here at the precinct. just now. -no, you figure it out. just tell him the way it happens. right, well, the... the way it happens. well, it happens in a lot of ways. -not always the same, but usually... usually in the usual way. i don't see anything. what? no, no, you wouldn't. i haven't done anything yet. -he hasn't woged yet. you'll know it when he does. okay. i'm just getting ready to. i mean, it's not something you jump into right off the bat, you know? -you have to be emotionally ready. that is to say... it doesn't just happen. this isn't going well. i can feel that i'm not... look, you just have to know that when it happens, it's not something that i can be... -uh... i can't do it. i can't woge. i'm not feeling it. i don't know why. -it's... this has never happened to me before. hank, nick, i can't, i won't, i just, especially in a situation like this, when you know you have to. wu, take it easy. -oh, no. i prematured again. you all right? you saw it? i saw it. -bud is an eisbiber. uh-huh. a eisbiber. you okay? yeah. -yeah, i'm okay. that was a woge. right. now there's two kinds. one only i can see, because i'm a grimm. -the other, anybody can see. and that's what bud just showed you. do it again. uh... the evidence will now be presented. -judges of the wesenrein tribunal, assembled guests, i will now present the evidence supporting the charges of eigenes fleisch und blut (own flesh and blood) and grimms freundschaft erweisen (offer friendship to a grimm) against the defendant. let me state for all here that these crimes are capital crimes, and i will prove beyond any doubt... whoa, whoa, hang on. just a procedural clarification. -isn't it supposed to be "beyond any reasonable doubt?" muzzle him. rah! aah! after him! -go! go! aah! oh, my god, phil! phil's dead. -kill him! no! no! nobody kills him. he'll stand trial. -that is the law. but he just killed phil! he'll stand trial for that, too. why don't we just kill him now? the tribunal decides his fate. -take him. put your robe back on. you okay? yeah, i think so. you've got to be sure. -it's a lot different when you're face-to-face with one that wants to kill you. i'm in. well, glad i could help. i can go, right? yeah, thanks, bud. -it's a relief to know. well, for you to know, because i already know. anything else, just call. well, you're still here, so i have to assume you have a new understanding of the world we live in. i do, sir. -good. let's get on with it. we only have one connection to the wesenrein. officer acker. we're bringing him in. -i've known him since the academy, and if he's made some bad choices, then he has to be dealt with. but on you bring him in, he's gonna know that you know. well that's why we want you to talk to him first. put pressure on him. get him to make a mistake. -can do that. we're running out of time, wu. we need this now. we got to find monroe. juliet. -oh, yeah, sorry. i was with nick. your house? now? yeah, yeah, yeah. -i can be there in 15. sure. no, no, no. i'll drop everything. on my way. -the defendant, a blutbad, did marry one rosalee calvert, a fuchsbau, on the date aforementioned. i offer the tribunal proof of this so-called marriage. this abomination. hey! get on with it. -an eye-witness at the wedding further stated that a grimm was present, and i will shortly call forth that witness. hey, jessie. how's it going? hey. i still feel pretty bad about messing up. -you know, that guy getting taken? oh, i'm sure, i'm sure. i would too. listen, you got a minute? i got a couple things i want to run past you. -yeah, sure. but not here. is something wrong? i just want to get a couple things straight. shouldn't take long. -i'm here. well, what can i do? rosalee, i'm so sorry. we need your help. you said that someone at the wedding told shaw about monroe and rosalee. -yeah, yeah. it has to have been. then who? because this is the list you made with trubel, and this is my wedding list. i can't figure this out because i don't know these men on your list. -well, let me take a look. so what's going on? what kind of cop are you? excuse me? didn't i train you better than this? -what're you talking about? i'm talking about you can't even guard a house. what are you doing walking off and checking something out without calling it in? now we got a kidnapping. you don't think that comes back on me? -i thought i saw something. what? what did you see that turned you into such an idiot? okay, wait a second, sarge. no. -you tell me what you saw. i already told them i saw a guy in a hoodie. oh? and why didn't you call it in? because i wasn't sure there was anything... -so what was it about this guy in a hoodie that made you want to check him out? just the way he acted. which was? he looked like he was watching the place. so you got out of your car, and you walked straight up to this guy, and you asked him what he was doing? -no, i got out of my car, and i got hit. you didn't look around? i was looking at the guy in the hoodie. so not only did you go after a guy you weren't sure was involved, you let someone come up behind you. sir, it happened really fast. -how'd you end up in the bushes? they dragged me there. "they"? how many was "they"? just the guy who hit me and the guy in the hoodie. -so if it was two guys, you must've seen 'em. sergeant, what the hell's going on here? i know you're lying, jessie. i'm not lying. you're wesenrein, you're involved, and you know shaw. -bauerschwein! you make me sick. oh, you're a grimm again? i don't know what you are, but you know what's wrong. where's monroe? -i don't know what you're talking about. yeah, you do. that's you, and that's shaw. you made calls to charlie riken in prison. i don't know who that is. -you talked to his cellmate williams, and you visited him eight times. you remember williams. no. you don't know who anybody is. i'm done asking questions. -nick, not here. take a walk. guess that makes you the good cop, huh? don't count on it. acker knows the game too well. -but he doesn't know our game that well. you'd do yourself a big favor by cooperating. you don't know what you're talking about. we've got you tied to the kidnapping. if monroe dies, don't expect to face a trial. -some of us are willing to die for what we believe in. well, i certainly hope you're one of 'em. oh, good, sir, thank god you're here. this is harassment. officer, this is your one chance to come clean. -i suggest you take it. what the hell? are you gonna let him treat me like this? oh, i see what the problem is. you still think we're playing by the rules. -i'm not talking to anybody. you get me a lawyer, or you cut me loose. lock him up. no calls. who came with john oblinger? -ah, suzanne. suzanne who? i don't know. she just started dating john. she's a real estate agent. -where? i'm pretty sure she works for... mccoy and ellis. they have an office in the pearl. but i don't know how she would know shaw. -but you don't know that she doesn't. no. i'm calling john. see what i can find out. if this isn't it, then i don't know what else to do. -damn it, come on, john. come on. answer the phone. oh, damn. i got his voicemail. -john, it's me. it's an urgent emergency. call me right back, because i'm coming right down. as soon as i talk to him, i'm calling you. we can't just sit here. -i'm going to go talk to this suzanne. i'll call her office. i'm not doing it. this is taking too long. oh. -crap, you scared me. for a period of several years, the defendant has knowingly and willingly disregarded wesenrein law. marrying outside of his blood, helping a grimm, and now killing one of us. how does the defendant plead? not as guilty as all of you... -you disrespect this holy tribunal. we enter a not-guilty plea on your behalf. proceed. i will now call forth an eyewitness to the vile crimes of the accused. where am i? -what's going on? oh, my god, monroe! let the records show that the witness, rupert ferdinand wurstner, has identified the defendant. defendant? -what? wait, no, no, no! i didn't identify anybody. he just looked like somebody i thought i knew, but it's really hard to tell. he's got that thing on his face. -i haven't identified... silence! right, silence. sorry. look, i don't think i could be of any help here. -i don't know anything about anybody. testify or die. how long have you known the defendant? how long have i known the defendant? well, let me see. -it depends on what you mean by "known." did you mean it in the sense of "have i met him before?" "do i see him around town? is he a customer? "have i repaired a refrigerator or an air-conditioning unit?" -because we don't get many calls for air-conditioning in portland. or do you mean it in a more familiar. "i've had dinner with him on more than one occasion," or "he picked up the check, or i picked up the check." do we exchange gifts at christmas, kind of relationship, or... -i forgot the question. clarify the question for the witness. thank you. thank you. i really... -hey! you are trying the patience of this tribunal. do not do it again. oh, yeah, it's plenty big enough for you. it's 2,400 square feet on the first floor, 1,400 on the second. -that's her. she was at the wedding. okay, i'll see you there at 5:00. okay, thanks. rosalee, hi. -you were at my wedding. you came with john oblinger. yeah, i did. sorry we didn't get a chance to properly... -i need your help. oh, okay. are you looking to rent or buy? my husband's been kidnapped. what? -oh my god. do you recognize any of the names on this list? i'm sorry, i... look again. you know, maybe my brother does. -your brother? jessie, yeah. i'm pretty sure he knows shaw. we need to talk to your brother. okay. -he's probably at work right now. where? he's a police officer here in portland. locking acker up won't get him to talk. we've got no leverage on him. -why should he say anything? he knows he can wait us out. yeah, well, we can't wait him out. this is getting in the way. juliette, i can't talk right now. -no, nick, we found out one of the women at the wedding has a brother who is a cop. a cop? nick, his name is jessie acker. isn't that the cop who was outside our house? suzanne told him about our wedding. -and she said he knows one of the guys on trubel's list, shaw. well, where is acker's sister? with us. we're at her office in the pearl. mccoy and alice real estate. -sergeant wu is coming to pick her up. we got to talk. wu knows? he's in. don't leave her side. -she's not going anywhere. and do you have any knowledge of the defendant helping said grimm to hunt down and kill wesen of any bloodline? no. do you deny that you, yourself, have helped the grimm? have i helped the grimm? -well, let me think. yeah. i have. and you have no regrets for doing so? the only regret i have is that i can't help 'em now, because boy, would he have a field day here! -enough! this trial is over! bring him forth! let the defendant have his say. you call this a tribunal? -well, i got a problem with that, because a tribunal implies that you have the authority to judge, and in order to judge you have to know the difference between right and wrong. and you don't, because this is wrong. and whatever you do to any of us will never make it right, and it will not change anything. what is right is my love for my wife, and her love for me. that you will never be able to destroy. -i'm not going anywhere. we need you to talk to somebody. unless they're a lawyer, i got nothing to say. well, i'm not gonna force you to do anything you don't want to do, but you might want to watch us talk to her. she's a real estate agent. -how well does your brother know shaw? i don't know. i think they just go fishing together sometimes. have you ever heard of the wesenrein? yes, but jessie would never be involved -in something like that. shaw is involved, and so is your brother. no. no, he's not. why are you saying this? -because they have my husband. no. jessie's not involved. i want to get out of here. you sit down! -you can't arrest her. she's got nothing to do with this. i'm not going to arrest her. i just wanted you to know, whatever happens to monroe is going to happen to her. tell me where monroe is, or you're gonna watch your sister die. -nick. he talk? no. let's get this over with. you know what grimms do, right? -what is going on? we're done here. i'm gonna take you home. you can't do this. i'm not doing anything. -he'll kill her. yes, he will. unless you stop it. you believe that purity of blood is all that matters, and so you call me an impuro? nothing in life is pure. -it's not supposed to be. you can't stop life from being messy, so get over it. i love my wife and i always will. that's what real purity is. and i feel sorry for you, because it is something that none of you will ever know. -we will now take the vote. the removal of the mask is a sentence of guilt. it is unanimous. the defendant is guilty-as-charged, and by wesenrein law, you will now be put to death. take him! -i will see you all in hell! no! no, no! you can't do this! stop it! -you people are insane! stop this! stop! stop! he wouldn't do this. -he couldn't. i was just telling him about the wedding and what happened when that girl came in, that grimm girl. i can't believe this is happening. tell me about it. what happened? -when your brother found out you'd been brought down for questioning, he admitted his involvement. oh, my gosh. he's been placed under arrest. an officer will now take you home. did he say where they are? -oxbow park. they will attack you, even unprovoked. stay close to me, rosalee. what's happening? get this off me! -what's going on? no, no, no! you can't do this. this is crazy. remove his chains. -any efforts to avoid your fate, i put a bullet in you, and it won't kill you. you'll still taste the fire. the sentence is justified. blood will remain pure. -put him on the stake. no! don't do this! don't do this! please listen to me! -listen to me. you're gonna regret this! cut his throat. oh, oh, my god! don't move. -riken! monroe! rosalee. the tribunal is over. nick, thank god you... -oh, i don't know him either. so you're burkhardt? you got it back. that is the rumor. you may be a grimm again, but you're not gonna be able to arrest all of us. -you're right. some of you will be stupid. take them! aah! on your knees! -stop or die! drop it. please, please don't shoot me. look, i give up. that's as far as you go. -bad idea. like he said. you missed. you okay? oh, nick. -i've never been so happy to see anybody since the last time you saved... quiet. oh, my god. it's my chiropractor. are you okay? -sort of. where are monroe and rosalee? i don't know. i haven't seen them. the last i saw, he was chasing after riken. -you should have killed me when you had the chance. i'm gonna kill you now. like hell you are. aah! no, no! -aah! we've got to find monroe and rosalee. there! did anybody get away? because riken sure didn't. -no. thanks to all of you. uh, what do we have in store for these idiots? we've made several arrests in the bizarre discovery of a murder-suicide death cult in oxbow park last night. the leader of this violent and racist group, -i am sad to say, is a police officer, jessie acker. now with his arrest, and the signed confession of the nine surviving members, it is safe to say that this cult of hatred has been destroyed for now. but we must remain ever-vigilant. we're not taking any chances this time. how many units you think we'll need? -at least two. one in the back, one in the front. and we'll be inside? and we're going all the way with this one. and don't let 'em out of our sight until... -hey, come on, you guys, you're part of this toast too. oof. that's gonna leave a mark. monroe and i just wanted to thank all of you for what you did. we wouldn't be here without you. -i certainly wouldn't. well, let me just say that i wouldn't be here either, so there's a lot of thanks from me too. yeah, you should've seen bud out there. he was awesome. -you really stood up to those sons-of... monroe. right. i know, i know. look, i just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart how much i appreciate, you know, the... -aww, honey, it's okay. we just... we're overwhelmed you all were willing to risk your own lives for ours, and we couldn't ask for better friends. and we can't possibly thank you enough. truly. -what she said. well, you both deserve every happiness. well, i suggest we drink to your honeymoon. at last. we'll miss you guys. -yes, we will, but i think i'm also ready for some alone time with my wife. you guys really didn't have to do this. there's no way you two are gonna try to make it to the airport without us. not a chance. that is really great, you guys. -thank you. as long as you're not coming on the actual honeymoon with us, we're good. you won't even know we're there. we'll blend right in. what did you want to talk to me about? -what's wrong? i don't know how to... what? just tell me. previously on "bitten". -the pack's rule is being challenged. they want the pack destroyed. right now we need to go on the offensive. jeremy: turning humans into an army of werewolves is bad enough. -recruiting serial killers... elena: my life here with you, that's the life that i want. what about clay? clay: -what we have between us is the real thing or it's not, you decide. jeremy: what were you able to find out about james williams? fake website run by some guy named nate parker. just looking for the guy that used to live here. -only person that lived here was an old hag named liz, and definitely no nate. it's time to storm the castle. (grunting) logan! (wolf growling) -jakob fenn. his father's still alive, maybe he'd want these. logan: she's gone! rachel! -i've got to find her, she can't run. hey, hey. the baby! malcom danvers, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. what is it that you really want, father? -a future. her. (heavy breathing) (screaming) man: (on speaker) once again from the top. -my name is nate parker. i was hired by malcolm danvers a year ago to run the toronto part of his plan. the video of the wolves, i shot that. once again. my name is nate parker! -others were part of the stonehaven plan, mutts that bit in psychopaths. i didn't... i didn't have anything to do with that. once again. -there's a meeting. new recruits. i can tell you where. i'll tell you everything you want to know. (sobbing) malcolm danvers is the one you want, i swear! -(click) (gasp) (yelping) wh... what was... what... what was that? what the hell was that? (click) -s...s... some... something touched me! it was all malcolm's idea! he's the one you want! i've... i've told you where his house is, where the others are meeting. -he may be there, whatever else do you want to know? i will tell you! (gasp) hello? hello! -(shriek) are you there? what... wh... wh... wh... what did you do to me? hello! -why aren't you talking? (suspenseful music) oof! (screaming) (grunting) -(snarling) (pained yelp) (gunshot) (whimper) bitten 2x01 bad blood (feb 7, 2015) -(heavy breathing) (whimpering) (grunting) malcolm. where is he? -i don't know. you have one second. he... he tried to recruit me. i hid instead. i know better than to go against the pack. -let him talk. what if i let him die instead? oh, no, no, there's a meet-up... for any mutt that wants to join malcolm. 4:30 at the docks. how do you know that? -one of malcolm's lackeys called me, um... nate... nathan? ferret-faced guy. he told me there'd be a meet-up for anyone who wanted to join malcolm. -they'll know where malcolm is. i don't want any part of their crap. i heard what they did to your boyfriend. (grunting, panting) nobody deserves to die like that. -(shaky breaths) (grunting) jeremy: i understand the alpha council's concern, but we cannot change what has happened. (russian accent) it is the actions of your pack in the last few months that is the problem, danvers. -that this mutt uprising could happen on your territory in the first place is not without issue. (speaking in korean) i was not complacent with them, i made an example out of them. i'm not interested in wallowing over whys and what-ifs. -perhaps you want us to do what you cannot. find your father and kill him. my pack will find and kill malcolm for what he's done: the mutt uprising, the death of two of my pack and seven innocent humans. and he has taken something of great importance to us. -(scoffing) you see, our problem is not malcolm danvers. (speaking in russian) you know this russian proverb? "the fish rots from the head." this is a spanish proverb. -it is fact. our packs are a reflection of our leadership. and your leadership is weak. you want to make an example of malcolm? we need to make an example of you. -an alpha cannot show his throat like this. is not personal, is politics. there's nothing more personal than politics. you have one week to deliver us proof of malcolm's death. and if i don't? -we'll find him for you and take control of your pack in the process. very well. while my pack searches for malcolm here, why don't you spend the week in montana. it's spectacular. i will stay and assist in the search for malcolm. -that won't be necessary. i insist. it will be a chance for us to get to know each other, as alphas. i welcome your stay. and when you gentlemen return, -malcolm's head will be on a stake. my pack is diligently searching for him now. aren't we going inside? of course, i just have a little... kink for public places, you know? not interested in the view? -oh, every man wants a theme song. and every woman wants... proper lighting. i want to make this about you. (gasping) (moaning) -you haven't slept in three days. i'm not interested in sleep. (panting) (heavy panting) huh... so jakob's dead. -what was he doing throwing in with malcolm danvers and attacking stonehaven? you deserve to know. elena speaks very highly of you. she says you play by the rules. you didn't come here to blow sunshine up my ass. -or to tell me my son died. listen, i need to know what jakob was up to before the attack on stonehaven. did he ever mention where malcolm may have based his operations? see, malcolm has something of mine, i need to go find it, get it back. -this ain't my problem. listen, it's my girlfriend. that's who malcolm has. she's pregnant with my son. you had a son, so surely you understand. -i need to find her, she's my life. i got a couple of phone calls from jakob a week ago. he owed money to some meth dealer from rochester, wanted me to pay him off next time i was through. okay, rochester. you have the number of that dealer? -meet-up's in 30. eventually you're going to have to exhale. i'm fine. can we finish this? you're not fine. -it's only been three days since... you can't ignore your grief. you have to deal with philip's death. jorge dealt with it. jorge dealt with covering it up. -and that's done. but phillip's sister has been texting me ever since. as far as his family knows, his car crashed on the way to the airport and they assume i have nothing to do with it. you didn't. you know that's not true. -we're wasting time, let's go. elena... i admire your sense of calm. if i had a week to find my mortal enemy, i assure you, i wouldn't be entertaining guests. -well... i admire your generosity, to help. most alphas would've opted to see me fail, then staked a claim to my territory in north america. the way he sat there in your chair. roman navikev never turns down a chance to show disrespect. -no. not like your father. there was an alpha who ruled with his heart, not his fist. what will you do if you don't find malcolm? he could slip away with the pregnant woman. -he could. he hasn't had any money to speak of since i closed his account a few years ago, yet he managed an uprising. you think someone is backing him? treachery is easier to hide from across an ocean. and it does seem to be someone who is hungry for north america. -navikev. you are clever. he underestimated you. you will need proof. follow the money. -if i find that roman was involved, do i have your support in killing him? my support? i swear to you on the blood of my infant son that i will personally place his head on a stake beside malcolm's. wait at your hotel for word. we will finish this... together. -hm. not much of a meet-up. elena: one mutt is all we need. elena: -we're going to play a little game. i ask, you answer. both: (grunting) (metal banging) ughh! malcolm danvers. -where is he? you're going to let a girl do your fighting for you? (bang) ohhhh... you got another stupid question? elena: -malcolm. spit it out. i don't know. you know as much as i do. i know your contact is nate parker. -i've been calling him, you know, he's just not answering. (bone cracking) (yelling) i also know you're meeting mutts and taking them to malcolm. looks like no one's interested in joining your failed uprising. so tell us where he is and we'll put an end to this. -if i talk, malcolm kills me. ugh! tell me what you know and i'll kill him. you'll never get to him. (yelling, coughing) -i was the one that met your boyfriend at the airport. (groaning) that was you? i thought it was malcolm. flight to france. -he didn't make it on. it's 'cause i got to him first. go on. tell me what happened! elena, don't, he's goading you to kill him. -he was scared. he was begging for his life. i took him to the warehouse. i never decapitated someone before. elena. -shh-h-h... she'll do a much better job than malcolm ever would. tell me more. it wasn't easy. there was all this bone and cartilage. have you ever heard someone scream through gurgling blood? -(yelling) (grunt of effort) (screaming) i have now. dammit, elena, he could've had more information. maybe we needed him. -ughh! we don't need him. had to be done. fine, yes. but you should leave the dirty work to me. -just because you don't need the ghosts. you already have enough. and you don't? we're here for the one true cursed, malcolm danvers. deliver him or die. -for the undoing, the destroyer comes. (fighting grunts) we are here for the one true cursed. the werewolf malcolm danvers. (fighting grunts) -(bones cracking) who the hell are they? no ids. hey, come take a look at this. they all have it. -stupid hipsters. the way they came at us, it's like they don't feel pain. and if they're after malcolm, what's he gotten himself into? (phone ringing) siobhan devitt. -joey: (on phone) this is agent franks from the buffalo branch office of the fbi. listen, we've hit a dead end on a case. would you be a sweetheart and pull up an account to see if there's any activity? siobhan: (on phone) that goes against bank policy. i know. -just look in the philippines, see if there's been any charges. this guy is, um... sick. ten-year-old girl sick. what's his name? james williams. -you can check a shell company: viojandi vodka. v-i-o-j-a-n-d-i. (camera click) nothing in the philippines, sir. -oh, that's the best news i've heard all day. thank you. we got it. malcolm's account? nick: (on phone) under the alias james williams. -it looks like a real travelling road show. there's withdrawals in... des moines, vegas, toronto. before; nothing since the attack on stonehaven. but... 27 days ago, money went out of the account to rochester power. -malcolm is making utility payments. that could be his base. i'll get on it. jeremy: (on phone) hold on. -i'll conference in clay and elena. hey, what's up? jeremy: we have a lead on malcolm. you have to get yourself to rochester. -we're over an hour away. has anyone heard from logan? he's still off the grid. we just got jumped at a mutt meet-up... by humans. -they're after malcolm for some reason. malcolm? we have to get to him first. the other alphas have given us a deadline to find him. and if we don't? -that's not an option. we're on our way. nick: you didn't really answer elena's question. what happens if we don't find malcolm? -then i have to step down, give up my pack and my territory. where's the money coming from? um, it's a wire transfer... foreign account. which country? russia. -(cynical chuckling) nick, i need you to come back to stonehaven. we have some business with the spanish alpha. and joey? -he's free to go. you are off the clock, my friend. you find him. you find malcolm and you kill him. for our fathers. -logan: you find rachel? nick: no, and i shouldn't be calling you without jeremy knowing, but we've got a possible lead on malcolm. where? -look, there's no guarantee that malcolm has rachel, okay? what are you talking about? of course he does. he was there at stonehaven right when she went missing. nick: -look, i hear you, i'm just saying there's no guarantee that she'll be there. just... just where? come on! rochester. 63 access road 5. if you get there first, you wait for clay and elena. -are you close? i'm nowhere near rochester. clay and elena will be there in an hour. if anything changes, i'll let you know. how far is access road 5? -(shouting) how far? i don't know, 40 minutes? you're not eating? i've learned my lesson. -but, the baby. you think the sedatives and this slop are good for him? oh, i think they're good for you. (shouting) she won't eat. we've got a problem. -nate is not returning my calls. neither is the other mutt that we sent for the meet-up. if the pack can get to them, they can get to us. s... so we move? no. -we prepare. (shaky breath) well, go ahead, you might want to sleep through the battle that's coming. go see what that is. (crow squawking) -man: oh man. a bird in the house means something bad. dead bird means something real bad. or real good. -(ominous music) (mixed whispers) what is happening? (electricity crackles; eerie sounds stop, crickets chirp) ahhh! rachel? -(ominous music) (thud) (gasp) (slow thuds continue) (thud) hey, hey, look at me. -where is she? (heavy breathing) where's rachel? it's all coming to an end. we're all going to die. -no! who took her? (car door closing) no, no, no, no, no, no! i don't want to go with them. -don't make me go with them. i can't take it. no, no, no! where is she? where did malcolm take her? -(door opens, closes) what the hell happened here? logan: i have no idea. i followed malcolm's trail into the field out back, but... it was too faint. -what about rachel? wait a minute. wait. this is rachel's. she was here. -they could be out there. we've got to go. no, hang on. have you slept? look at you, you're a wreck. -look at me? look at the blood. look at the bodies. this guy was delusional. whatever malcolm did to him, to these mutts, he has rachel, we can't stop now! -and go where? anywhere but here. come on. (camera click) (eerie music) -(grunting) woman: top you up? keep the change. thank you. -mighty kind. nothing more life affirming than when all your plans and preparation go out the window. man plans, god laughs. if that's the case, god's doubled over right now. -where you headed? how do you know i'm headed anywhere? i'm from nowhere, and even i wouldn't say this place is somewhere. i'm headed south, mississippi way. i can take you as far as cincinnati. -if you're in need for a drive. (paper rustling) that's mighty kind too. (ominous music) (bees buzzing) -should we stop him? we're too exposed here. we follow him. did you hear anything from clay and elena? it was carnage at the house. -no sign of malcolm or rachel. this is no time to be delicate with alpha politics. they've given you a deadline, jeremy. we'll give them malcolm. this is the way. -rodrigo sanchez, may i present nick sorentino. nick was in new york on business. he was tracking down malcolm's accounts. or rather the accounts of the alias that malcolm was using, james williams. -hmm. you tell rodrigo what you found, nick. well, we tracked the money. and we found out that malcolm was financed by a bank account that originated in russia. you have the proof you needed. -roman navikev is backing malcolm. he is the fish that is rotting from head to tail. jeremy: yes. that was very convenient. -only, i know that roman has never met with my father. and you say that you haven't either. yet you know the woman he took was pregnant. i was very careful never to reveal that fact. what do you smell, nick? -(deep inhalation) fear. that's why werewolves can never play poker together. there are two ways to be a traitor, rodrigo. you can be a man and do it in the open, or you can be a weasel. -and you, my friend... are a weasel. you financed malcolm through a russian bank account so that i would blame roman if i went looking. jeremy, this is a mistake. no! because you wanted malcolm running things over here. -if you want to live, you start talking right now. where is malcolm? where is he? malcolm called me an hour ago. he asked me to... to wire $200,000 to baton rouge. -baton rouge. clay might know where he is. rodrigo: th-that's all i know, i swear! (choking) (softly) rodrigo, it would be a shame if i found out that you knew more and you didn't tell us. -especially about the pregnant girl. malcolm is flying to bangkok tomorrow night. what about the girl? that's all i know about her, except that malcolm had her. if he gets on that flight, we've lost him. -i could kill you right now, rodrigo. yeah? (choking, straining) (gasping) but i'm going to give you a chance to do the right thing. every pack would stand against you if they found out that you tried to frame roman and steal my territory in north america. -what would you have me do? you just stand by until i contact you. say you have some business in new york. and trust me, if roman ever found out what you had done, he wouldn't kill your infant son, he would skin him alive. younger woman: -where did the werewolf go? sequere lupus. woman: left it is, then. malcolm: -any chance this truck goes faster? it might, but i don't. i like a steady pace. 8 hours, 15 minutes each way from our farm to my sister-in-law's place. you've got it down to a fine science. -been doing this drive a lot. my sister-in-law, she ain't doing too well. my wife goes up there, stays with her. cancer of the pancreas. yeah, you take her every time? -you're a good man. i don't like her taking the bus. strangers. you never know. true. -what's your wife's name? janine. then i'm sorry, janine. (tires screeching) elena: -those dead mutts... how could malcolm kill them all? this was on the neck of the people who attacked us. none of this makes any sense. (phone buzzing) malcolm's in baton rouge. -do you know where he'll be? clayton: (on phone) i have an idea. a spider hole he used to hide in when he was hurt. i'll text you the coordinates. nick: (on phone) there's something else. -jeremy didn't give you the full picture. the alphas are threatening to force him out if we don't find malcolm. then we find him. jeremy and nick are flying to louisiana. they got a lead on malcolm. -let's ditch your car, and we'll drive down there and get him. they might have rachel. (effort grunt) (vehicle approaching) he's here. -logan: all right, let's go. what are we waiting for? ah, ah, ah. we go in smart, we come out alive. -and when we find her... i'll leave with her, take mutt status. i'll raise my son as a mutt, just like my father. your son is part of my pack. you will bring him to me... -jeremy. and i will raise him. this is not a negotiation, logan. this is the way it's going to be. all right. -but don't kill malcolm until we know rachel's safe. please. i'm going to finish now what i should have finished back at stonehaven. what i should have finished years ago. (banging) -jeremy: malcolm? malcolm: you think i haven't been through worse this week? you're nothing. -jeremy: no? i tracked you down. how does it feel to be running scared, father? you're up for a conversation, should i put on the kettle? -pete. antonio. philip. i'm holding you accountable for all of their deaths. and i'll be accountable for yours. -(fighting grunts) ahhh! you should have let me teach you to fight. then i wouldn't be able to surprise you. woman's voice: -help! woman's voice: help! woman's voice: help me! -rachel! she's out here. logan! (groan) ugh! (mixed yells, grunts) -something's coming for us. protect yourself. ugh! rachel! woman's voice: -logan! help me! what is it? she's not here, man. it was her! -well, she's not here. you're hearing things. he can't kill malcolm. (fighting grunts) (yells, grunts) -ugh! jeremy! aaah! (scream) (yelling in pain) -ahhh. (attack yell) (gagging, choking) logan: jeremy! -she isn't here. (panting) where is rachel? i suppose if you kill me you'll never find out. (nature din) (footsteps) -who are you looking for? no one's coming to save you. get me in the car and let's go. we can't stay anywhere too long. it's not safe. -what, you think you're safe with us? i would kill you now if i could. andi wouldchoosethatover the other things i've seen this week. (door creaks) (footsteps) we'll work malcolm over. -if he knows where she is we may get that. or we may get lies... or we may get nothing. something came at me in rochester. (sighs) is that what this is about? -malcolm: it was branded on their necks that symbol. it was also on the necks of the people who jumped us at the shipping yards. (phone clicks) were they responsible for this too? i've scratched the surface of what that means, clay, and nothing good could come from it. -you need to keep me alive for what's coming. (grunts) (car door slams) i found this inside. it's the same symbol. -yeah. i'm going to stay on. look into it. a professor i know in tulane specializing in pagan symbology. yeah, but what if it's nothing? -what if he's just messing with us? no... i saw something in malcolm's eyes i've never seen before. fear. -do you want me to stay? no, i want you to be there when jeremy kills him. and before that, you don't let him get in your head. he can't get in my head if he's separated from his. what now? -we can't distract them all. wherever they're taking malcolm danvers... is where we are going. (door creaks) (footsteps) (door closes) (footsteps) -did you find the wolf? we did. we'll save you soon. alastair came back angry. did he do anything to you? -no, it was about the wolf, not me. savannah, listen, he isn't what he seems. wait, can you hear that? i don't hear anything. what is it, savannah? -the screams. (grunts) (pants) (gasps) (screams) good evening. -good evening. terrace house is a show about six strangers, men and women, 6 strangers, men and women, share a house. living together, and we observe how they interact with each other. all that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobile. there is no script at all. -last week, yuriko left terrace house... yuriko hayata, 23 years old she's going to focus on her exams. yes. she's going to concentrate. -last week, we had great guest appearances. minori's big sister. kurumi. she was able to give a big push to a stalling relationship. she did. -so you're afraid his feelings aren't at that level? kurumi nakada, 23 years old like, embracing you because he can't hold back anymore? yeah, that'd be... that's totally what you want! -why don't you put yourself in that mindset? i am. so seeing her sleeping face doesn't make you want to kiss her? tatsuya uchihara, 23 years old i can't bring myself to do it. -but if you do something like that, it'll make everyone think, "wow, you like her that much." i'll try my best. that was the kurumi mix. they threw in the kurumi mix. it's been very effective thus far. -it did seem to make minori want to take some action. and yamachan's favorite new member... don't say that! what if she's watching? what's going on here? -yeah, what's up with that ugly guy there? call me obnoxious, but don't call me ugly. i'm arisa ohata. arisa? arisa ohata. -where are you from? i'm from kagoshima. what do you do? i'm now getting ready to start my own hat brand. can i ask what's your type? -someone who can survive on a deserted island. not many people can give an answer like that. she's gotta be good. yamachan, you speak too soon. but she said she kinda liked arman. -yeah. arman seemed easy to talk to. mizuki shida, 22 years old he seems like he'd be able to survive on a deserted island. he's definitely that type. -no, i hope it doesn't work out for her at terrace house. what are you trying to accomplish? i hope she fails. arman should get together with mizuki! oh, i don't know. -cheers. the new member's here. yeah, finally. she's cute. very cute. -she is. i didn't say it earlier, but she's totally my type. i think our eyes met when we both saw her. i totally thought she'd be your type, too. i guess it's down to which one of us could survive on a deserted island. -what about your job interview? the interview? i heard back. it was a no. you really wanted it, too. -yeah, but i'll give it another shot at a different place. can i come in? oh, hey. joining us? clean it up, arman. -these aren't mine. must be uchi's. man, that uchi. yeah, uchi's so messy. a glass? -i'll go grab one. what are you drinking? i didn't buy too much today. but aren't those from today? no, those aren't from today. -they were just there. you got me a glass. i'm sorry there isn't much left. i should've come earlier. we only have this and a small beer. -here you go. thanks. a toast? thanks for letting me join. welcome. -cheers. it's nice to meet you. i didn't expect you to join us for drinks. did you have a boyfriend until recently? i haven't had a boyfriend for about two years. -you must be popular. i've never had a guy i liked like me back. what? do you do any sports? sports? -i'm not good at sports all. that's fine. you never played any? in junior high, i was manager of the baseball team. ah, a manager. -do you go to the gym? not at all. you look like you're in shape. thank you. i jog sometimes. -shall we drink? is there any left? should we go out to drink? i guess it's late. you've got work. -i'll go buy some real quick. i'll be right back. have you gotten used to things? i have. really? -i'm envious. you'll get used to it, too. you think so? can you go anywhere with one bag? about two years ago, i went to thailand and the philippines with just a backpack. -really? yeah. i can hunt. hunt? well, when i was in hawaii, i would spear fish. -you dive and shoot them with a spear. where i'm from, it's all mountains. so there's nothing, just the countryside. i'd like to live there in the future. oh, you want to go back. -sometimes i miss being in nature. like, recently, i climbed mt. takao with a friend from my hometown. is that close to tokyo? yeah, it takes an hour by train. -for real? do you want to go? let's go somewhere like that. you want to go to mt. takao? -really? yeah, i've got time. next week maybe? okay. arman bitaraf, 24 years old, aspiring firefighter -minori nakada, 21 years old, model yuki adachi, 28 years old, tap dancer mizuki shida, 22 years old, office worker tatsuya uchihara, 23 years old, hair stylist arisa ohata, 25 years old, hat designer -daikan-yama, tokyo good morning. morning. did someone from the price tag shop call? yeah, he did. -he said he would come at 6:00 p.m. -6:00 p.m.? okay. so you should prepare the paper and data for the tags. i see. arisa ohata, 25 years old from kagoshima -preparing to start own hat brand single for 2 years hmm? what? sleeping? your nails are chipping. -i can fix them. i'm certified as a nail artist. level four. what does that mean? how many levels are there? -i don't know. okay, ready? my pinky is fine. you got some here. where? -you're shaking. what did my sister say? she said... well, never mind. no, tell me. -it keeps me up at night. she said i'm not conveying my feelings. that's what she said? yes. did she give you examples of how to act? -i wonder. i wonder. i wonder. one-one? one-one. -that was from over here. i didn't touch it. i'm winning for the first time. oh, wow, it's three-one. for real? -from the start... you're in trouble, arman. i might win. i lost. my first win! -i worked up a sweat. i'm gonna grab a drink. did you drink a lot last night? well, yuki went to buy more drinks... he bought more alcohol? -yeah, he got more, so we had highballs. so, mizuki... is there someone you're into? i'm not sure yet, but... i see... it's only been a week since arman came, but we went out together once. -since then, i'm more conscious of him. that's where i'm at. you've changed since your sister came. have i? how? -you're trying to change. change in what way? hmm? in what way? well, in many ways. -i... you always make it vague. what's wrong with that? you're right. i do always make it vague. -you don't say everything you're thinking. i know, i need to fix that. will you make me curry? you want curry? i do. -bon appétit. where are the meat and vegetables? they kinda melted. is everyone asleep? hmm? -is everyone asleep? i think they're still up. i think they're doing something. do you have work tomorrow? yeah, i've got work. -it was really good. thank you for making it. was it enough? you're going to sleep? he's so stupid! -so stupid! so stupid! so oblivious! that was the notice-me missile. yes, she threw the notice-me missile. -so, the new thing is the notice-me missile? what was that? just oblivious? she wanted him to make a move, right? what would you have done, tokui? -he did her nails, and then there was the curry... i think, while doing her nails, i'd move in, and then she'd be like, "what?" and then i'd say, "oh, nothing." that'd be my first move. -i'd throw that in there. and then? i'd throw that in first, when nothing would happen. i'd make her think, "oh, he tried to make a move." and have her go make curry. -since i threw that nothing move in there first, i'd do nothing while eating curry. oh, i see. and it'll make her think, "wait, what?" she'd think, "oh, so nothing's gonna happen." -and lean back into the sofa. then the notice-me missile would fly. no, but i'd make a move before the notice-me missile. when? so, right when her nails are done, he should grab her arm and pull her towards him. -what? he should already start pulling as he's finishing her nails. "oh, but you just did my nails..." like that right? yeah, and then some of the polish would smudge on the hand. and they'd come apart and say, "look what you did to my hands." -and then he should kiss her again! nice. even you got that, right? that a kiss should've happened there? yeah, i think so. -if it were me, when serving the curry, i'd want him to ask me to feed him the curry. what? that's so cute! "minori, the meat to go along with the curry." -what are you saying? "i'm sorry. kill me, please." "this piece is too big." oh, quiet you. -what the heck are you guys talking about? but seriously, what's up with him? maybe he's actually surprisingly shy. maybe. though minori was trying really hard. -she tried to give him opportunities. and he knows she's been wanting more out of him. if he didn't do it then, when will he do it? that's true. if not now, then when? -we've been so caught up. we've forgotten arman's making moves. that's right. did you see how sad mizuki looked when they were playing ping-pong? when she was keeping score. -it was sad. arisa now knows how mizuki feels. she told her. the question is, what will she do now that she knows? she's gonna throw arman a light jab. -when arman comes after her, she's gonna say, "oh, no. mizuki likes you, so i can't." all the while, making him come after her. it's arman's fault if he follows. she said no, so he shouldn't go. -you've changed, man. what happened to your black wings? look, i'm wearing a fluffy knit sweater. it's gentle. oh, the one reserved for the good guys. -did uchi like your curry last night? he said it was tasty, but that was it. that was it? and today? i'm making omu-rice today. -for uchi? i'm going to make it for him. you should clearly say, "look, i made this just for you." so that he gets it? do you have work tomorrow? -i do. what are you doing tomorrow? i'm going to run in the morning, and in the evening, i'm going to target. the gym? i want to join a gym, too. -you should come to target. are you interested in kickboxing? kickboxing? yeah. you want to? -kickboxing? not the gym? well, you should come check it out. i want to lift my butt. squats are best for that. -that's so hard. yeah, they're a hassle to do. sounds like they're having fun. sounds like they're having fun. does it? -what's going on? yeah, sounds like fun. please. looks good. don't judge by its appearance. -bon appétit! they've got our names on them. did you notice? i did. there was a heart, too. -i didn't. what? delicious. yummy! it's hot. -what did you do yesterday? i was talking with uchi. have things changed since we last spoke? not really. he's probably got some pride issues. -because he doesn't know how? yeah. i think it'd be okay for him to be more lovey-dovey with you. i agree. nothing. -yeah, i did talk to him about that before. what should i write on his omu-rice to get his attention? "i love you." that might be too forward. easy to write but... -maybe hearts? it could be cute. "welcome home," or maybe not. dear uchi, welcome back. please eat and enjoy. -"coward"? what did you write? "coward." that's perfect. i wonder what he'll think. -he'll think it's cute, but i'm sure it'll hit a sore spot. like an arrow going through. i wrote it, great, but now i can't face him. ooh, i want this. that looks expensive. -it is. if only i could have one. come in. i'm back. welcome back. -minori, come here, will you? what is it? here? is that okay? come over here. -what? why? never mind why. why? just come this way. -i'm scared. over here. what? here. close your eyes until i say to open them. -what? no, i'm scared. i'm scared. just close your eyes. lift your chin. -why? why? keep your eyes closed. don't worry. i'm scared. -never mind then. i scared you. the two of them disappeared. you wrote "coward." i did. -what did that mean? exactly what it said. since you called me a coward... i felt like i had to prove you wrong. but there are other ways to do that. -at this point, it doesn't matter. i need to be emotionally prepared. when will you be prepared? i wasn't expecting to see you today. i'm going back down then. -thanks for the omu-rice. yeah. minori... are you all right? are you crying? -no, i'm not crying. how'd it go? i was surprised. of course you'd be. of course. -i wrote it, sort of egging him on... so i guess... of course he'd react. he wasn't mad per se, but he wasn't happy about being called a coward. so he wanted to show me otherwise. but i totally wasn't expecting it. oh, he's so terrible at this! -so, that was his reaction. i hope he does better. must have been hard for you to watch. he said it three times. yeah, he kept saying, "close your eyes." -he thought i wasn't ready for it. was he upset? yeah, i think he was a little down. maybe i should go talk to him. i'm calm now. -what will you say to him? he probably thinks i rejected him. so you're going to tell him otherwise? yeah. and if i leave things like this, it'll be really awkward tomorrow. -what the heck is he doing? why is he dragging it out? despite the fact that he's good-looking and stylish... maybe he's a virgin? he is giving off that vibe. i'm strongly detecting it. -he's never had a relationship? i didn't understand it. lifting her chin... in front of everyone? what would've happened after that? he would've tried to kiss her after that. -she called him a coward, so he went to prove her wrong. like, "see, i can kiss you." that's so lame! even though there's still lots that uchi doesn't know, he hasn't been able to ask. for a long time now, probably. -people just assume he's gone out with lots of girls. that he's good at his job and sensitive to others' needs, that is his weakness. i see. but he's the one who first said he'd date all three. -that's exactly why he came up with such an awkward idea. that's proof. he didn't do that because he was experienced with women. it's because he didn't know any better. he genuinely didn't know how to fall in love. -so he wanted to figure it out by trying it out with everyone. his intentions were truly pure. seriously? so unexpected. you know, the coward part... -that was something. it made my heart pound. that was really cute. that was a legendary omu-rice. truly legendary. -a legendary omu-rice. "coward." wonderful. it really is. so she's going to see him now? -i think so. she's gonna go, then kiss! go, then kiss? yeah, go to get kissed. even if she isn't planning to. -to the far end of terrace house we go, then kiss? if he misses this chance, then that's it. we're rooting for you, uchi. he just has to go for it. doesn't matter if he's bad at it. -oh, bittersweet youth. "i know how to kiss!" so cute! okay! the kiss! -you don't have to be an expert. come in. what's up? what's wrong? i thought i'd come talk to you. -talk? i'm sorry about earlier. don't worry about it. this is unusual. i've calmed down. -calmed down? i was totally out of sorts earlier and couldn't speak. i see. i was so surprised. i wrote that with a specific intention in mind. -because yesterday... i didn't think you would react that way. so i didn't know how to deal with it. you didn't know how to react. i thought i was prepared for it, but it kind of happened in a way i wasn't expecting. -do you like me? i like you. are you ready now? i've been ready. that's why i wrote "coward." -close your eyes. you seemed so experienced. i'm not. what? i'm not. -i'm sorry i can't do it better. thank you. paul: the road of life is always under construction. the journey is hard, but once you reach the top, the view is amazing. -and that view is even more beautiful when you have someone to share it with. (knocking) mr. blart. paul: for six days. -my beautiful wife of almost a week let me know by letter that she had what i like to call "some regrets." her doctor called it "uncontrollable vomiting." oh, honey. her lawyer, "dissolution of marriage." that's okay. -i needed a little time to myself. like the song says, "i've been to paradise, but i've never been to me." i spent the next two years losing myself in the sweet escape of keeping the west orange pavilion mall safe. at least i still had the one thing that never seemed to let me down. -security. are you lost, son? anyway, come with me. thank you. you're very welcome. -uh, andy, now give the fake cop a hug. we're actually, uh... we're certified, ma'am. we, uh, take a test and everything. it's pretty vigorous. -all right, uh, hug him, andy. well, it was nice to see you, little man. you know what, ma'am, he doesn't want to give me a hug. and it's okay. no, he wants a hug. -i don't think he does. hey. okay, andy, hug him. honey. want to come in? -sweetie. you're embarrassing mommy. he doesn't want... no, he's not embarrassing me. he's fine. -hug him. he doesn't have to hug me. aw... (groans) (gasps) i saw white. i saw white. -i'll get him again, ma'am. i'll find him. paul: and on the home front, i always had mom. oh! -there's my paper. (horn blaring) paul: that is, until she got drilled by a milk truck. didn't know they even had those anymore. -hmm. (sighs) i guess i was the last one to get the memo. paul blart had officially peaked. or had i? -"congratulations, officer blart. "you have been selected to join..." "congratulations. you have been accepted to ucla." maya! -come down here! i got some great news! me, too! honey, we've been invited to the security officers trade association expo and award ceremony in las vegas, nevada! vegas? -wow. yeah, i think i'm finally being recognized for, you know, getting the mall out of that jam. dad, you saved the mall. they should honor you. i'm so proud of you. -thank you. you know, times have been tough, but no matter what happens, as long as i have you by my side, i'm gonna be okay. but enough about me. what's your great news? yeah, um, i just remembered that we have leftover baked ziti. -what a day! (groaning) whew! (sighs) oh, yeah. -all right. can i help you with your bags, sir? oh, no. that's how they get you. (chuckles) -i'll be fine on my own, thank you. no problem, sir. lift with the legs. with the legs. (groaning) -we're moving. here we go. (groans) nice little break in the day. oh, we're going again. -we're going again. (groaning) legs. paul blart? yes, sir. -i thought that was you. donna ericone, mall of america. man, we still talk about your black friday save. thank you. i don't know if you heard. -there's gonna be a surprise keynote speaker tonight. word on the street, it's gonna be the officer who's gone above and beyond the call of duty. what? i got to be honest, i... i had a feeling, but do you really think that, i mean... -who else? yeah. unless robocop walks into the room. yeah, i would definitely stand down for robocop. he's not real. -no, i know he's not real, but i would stand down for him. he ain't real. just don't tell anybody i told you. told me what? about the key... -you got me. you done gone and got me. (laughs) (groans) that was in the throat. that was in the throat. -see you tonight. yeah, okay. roger that, officer ericone. that was straight to the throat. that didn't even glance off the chest. -it went right up. man: may i help the next guest? oh, we're next. here we go. -yes. yello-ha! good afternoon. welcome to the wynn resort. checking in. -absolutely, mr. blart. (chuckles) mr. blart. you're probably thrown by the travel wear. actually, it's "officer." okay, sorry about that. -uh... (clears throat) yes, officer blart. uh, i see we have you in a partial mountain view, and you requested a bottomless bowl of peanut mm's. yeah, it's strictly medicinal. (chuckles) unfortunately, i am cursed with hypoglycemia. sugar level drops, so do i. -(wheezing laugh) oh, i'm sorry. uh, your room isn't ready yet. but you can leave your luggage here, and i will have it delivered to your room. dad, i'm starving. -can we just go get some lunch? hold the mayo. hold on a second here. uh, you probably didn't know this, heath, but if you check the grand ballroom and see which group is booked there this evening, i think your tune may change a wee bit. -(keyboard keys clac king) mini kiss. the cover band. yeah, i'm not with them. um, is there a manager i could speak with? -(hisses) you know, she's not available right now, so... you're taking my legs out from under me here. is the terrace café open for lunch? yes, it is. i'm out. -(softly) bring it in, heath. little tighter, bring it in. and it lacks rounding out. it is not what we call a symphony. i don't think it's concluded yet. -is it? my point entirely. it's lunchtime and we're only halfway through. it has four movements? gerhardt. -matthias. you must admit, dear friend, it is rather difficult. that, serene highness, is the most lavish praise that can be given to an artist. really? how paradoxical. -why? because difficult is good. difficult is beautiful. difficult is closer to the truth. yes, i see what you're getting at. -well done, louis. so moving. so very... how to put it? french. -french? it is new. it is bold. it is french. the french are marauding thugs and bonaparte an ill-bred adventurer. -louis doesn't think so, do you? he is the champion of the poor. well, that's a good thing, i suppose. i mean, somebody has to be. he's a charlatan. -he doesn't give a fig for the poor. he hasn't done half as much for them as our lobkowitz here. he won't last long if he carries on like that. he's only a musician employed by the prince. you can't go insulting your employer. -he's not employed by the prince. he's not a servant like wranitsky. he writes what he likes, when he likes. but he can't talk to the nobility of austria and hungary as if they were his equals. he believes he is noble by virtue of his talent. -he doesn't accept the inequality. those are dangerous sentiments, herr ries. people have been hanged for less. right. this is for the players. -the gentlefolk will have proper food later on. beer, please. and you, keep your hands off that ladies' maid. kirsten? hadn't given it a moment's thought. -what do you reckon to the band, then? they've taken the symphony to new heights. christ, have they? go on. he's like a roman hero. -he sweeps the old oligarchies before him. he calls himself first consul, but there are only three. what's that if not an oligarchy? if not the rule of the few? the people love napoleon. -the people will tire of war. no. this war means an end to oppression all over europe. i'd rather be oppressed than dead. i lost my brother in '96. -my father also served with the volunteers. i did. i did. and i got home alive. thank god. -there were 60,000 of us, but we still got thrashed. you, sir, you wrote us a patriotic song. we're all patriots here, albrecht. yes. some of us are more patriotic than others. -the french came within 50 miles of the city in '96. i'm damned if i'll ever let them get that close again. if bonaparte is defeated, we are back in the dark ages and our ideas will go for nothing. we won't be allowed to speak. better that than be ruled by the french. -france stands for freedom. i'm for it. you, sir, what are you for? i'll tell you what i'm against. i'm against tyranny. -the truth is, that's what bonaparte's been fighting to overthrow. on that point, i'm with otto. but will there be a revolution here? well, i think that... that as long as your viennese has his beer and his sausage, he won't cause any trouble. -on the other hand, if he misses his breakfast, he'll revolt. "to the barricades. i'm starving. " your highness, if you don't feed them, there's gonna be trouble. i had in fact thought of that. sir, you were right about one thing. -our prince's magnanimity cannot be faulted. it is in the nature of good government to be charitable to the poor. yes. presumably under the very best type of government, the poor will disappear. i don't think so, my friend. -i don't think so. louis, you're such a dreamer. may we talk for a moment? sir, i am not impertinent, you know. my crime is that i am hot-blooded. -i am not very good at concealing my emotions. i don't mean any offence. so? it's going well, isn't it? apart from ries, it's not going badly. -i nearly didn't come. josephine. my darling... if you hadn't come... it's hard for me. -yes. it's only been a few months since... yes, it's very sudden, i know, but soon you'll go back to korompa castle, and then, if... if i hadn't attempted to... i know. so i ventured. -and i don't know how it will turn out. it'll turn out the best for everyone. do you remember when your mother brought you for piano lessons? i couldn't decide whether to fall in love with you or your sister. thank god. -thank god it was you. maybe you would be happier with therese. impossible. maybe therese would not have married and given birth to four children. maybe not. -i did. von deym was a good choice. i understand that. a pragmatic choice. but now, sweet josephine... -ludwig, how do you think we would live? ah, no, no. things are improving. very much so. i don't intend to be poor forever. -you're going to be rich? it's inevitable. how? you can barely add and subtract. i agree. -i am a useless businessman who's bad at arithmetic. my brothers look after my interests. they're not as financially incompetent as i. prince lichnowsky is prepared to pay me an annuity of 600 florins. and last year i got 1800 for a benefit concert. -it's not enough. it's not enough? i don't think, my love, you have the first idea what things cost. i don't, really. i do. -but my brother carl's salary at the civil service is only 250 a year, and he lives on it. i can get 1800 for a concert. it's not the money. what is it, then? i have four children. -i will be a father. it doesn't work like that. you're not saying no? i've been a widow for seven months. you're not saying no. -i love you dearly. you're free now to marry whom you wish. you do like my music, don't you? it's so loud, so warlike. the transitions are so abrupt. -it speaks to me of turbulence. and i want peace. desperately, i want peace. i admire it. i'm devoted to it. -but it frightens me, to be honest. it frightens you. passion can be a frightening thing. sir, excuse me. they're ready to play the scherzo. -have you no manners at all? can't you see i'm in conversation with a lady? yes, sir. sorry. you are unforgivably stupid, ries. -everything you do is calculated to inflame my temper. go and tell wranitsky to start without me. this bit is done. don't you need to hear it? only the horns. -otherwise, it's done. how can you be sure? the light relief after the funeral, the dance, the return to life - it's easy. it's done. are you angry with me? -i'm not angry. you sound angry. are you saying no? you need to hear your horns. i need to hear your answer, countess. -will you marry me or won't you? i cannot. i take it i'm not good enough for you. yes, you are. i love you. -but you're frightened of my music. obviously, i shouldn't have said that. do you want me to change your mind? about the music? no, about the marriage, damn you. -forgive me. that was rude. i'm sorry. louis, there is no point. if i could marry you, i would. -but it is forbidden to me. there is no life without you. you're my whole world. my heart is full of all the things i want to say to you. sometimes i think that speaking amounts to nothing at all. -it's a worthless faculty, speech. the law in austria is clear. if i marry a commoner, i not only lose my title but the custody of my children. they will be taken away from me. you cannot be their father. -it has no legality. we'll travel. i was thinking of going to france. i cannot be without my children, louis. you cannot marry a man without a title. -no. i can't. my horns are coming in now. horns! yes, that's it. -give it some oomph. straight on. let's get to the end. sir? sir? -ries, you interfering insect! what? sir, herr haydn is here. master. herr haydn, do come in. -we're so pleased to see you. let us offer some champagne. i hope it is an open rehearsal? sir, you are welcome. thank you. -thank you. sir, my student, ries. he's an idiot. all students are idiots. it's traditional. -shall we sit? your highness. he's been capellmeister to the esterházys for more than 30 years. the old prince is dead, but his son keeps haydn on. but he can write for whoever he wants. -well, couldn't he before? no, of course not. not for anyone but the esterházys. and i thought he was highborn. haydn? -his father was a wheelwright. there's hope for me yet, then. i doubt it. did you do it? thank you. -well, i'm looking forward to it very much indeed. how's it going? splendidly, splendidly. it is a work of quality, herr haydn. sad to say, not the highest. -oh. unlike your own work, sir, it does not strive for perfection of form. it's all roaring and grunting. the only thing i can remember striving for is a balance between the emotions and the intellect. the key, as ever, is restraint. -i'm not very good at restraint. and we love you for it, louis. none of it is worth anything, finally. since my dear wife died, all i can think about is... when is the end coming? -will it be today? my strength is gone, your highness. i... i suffer dreadful headaches, dizziness, and... i can't play the piano any more. -but you have composed the seasons a work of brilliance. no, the seasons wore me out. i shouldn't have written it. it finished me. he's obsessed with death. -my master reveres him. they're not normal, these people. you should go to england. one can earn good money there. really? -i'd like to find a publisher who'd pay me an annual income for life. in return, they'd have the right to put out everything i compose. all i want is financial security so i can work. i think goethe has this arrangement. and, if i'm not mistaken, handel's london publisher did the same for him. -but you're not goethe. nor are you handel. and nor will you ever be. how do you know? because people like that are no longer born. -my dear fellow. he doesn't mean to hurt you. it's very common, that viewpoint. they cannot believe a young person can achieve anything. so reactionary. -i cannot associate with people who do not believe in me. let's finish. i don't feel like it. i want to go home. please, don't go. -in heiligenstadt i'm happy. there are trees and streams and sunsets. what is there for me here? my husband has a proposal for you. have i? -oh, yes. i love this piece of music, ludwig. it's an extraordinary experiment upon an unsuspecting world. i should like to hear it again. shall we say 2,000 florins for six months? -exclusive rights? this is the finale? yes. have we a subject? heroism. -excellent. please. where would you like to go for supper, sir? prince lobkowitz invited us to dine at the palace. you don't want to? -i'd rather eat with you. also, i'm finding i can't always hear what they're saying. they think i'm rude, but really i can't make out the words. my ears are useless, ries. and my guts aren't much better. -did you see her, ries? who, sir? the countess. yes, sir. beautiful, isn't she? -well, i think the sister's the prettier. ries, you may know something of counterpoint and harmony. you know nothing whatsoever about life. what do you say, herr haydn? very long. -very tiring. unusual, though, wasn't it? unusual? he's done something no other composer has attempted. he's placed himself at the centre of his work. -he gives us a glimpse into his soul. i expect that's why it's so noisy. but it is quite, quite new - the artist as hero. quite new. everything is different from today. -excuse me, sir. there's menzel. i'll just say hello. what will you have, sir? i beg your pardon? -i said, what will you have, sir? menzel's just back from his club. there's news from paris. what news? bonaparte's just made himself emperor. -emperor? yes. he's had a coronation, and everything. he's no longer first consul. he's an emperor. -just like all the others. eat your fish, ries. thank you. ripped by: skyfury -good evening and welcome to tee time. i'm taking up golf. i've learned to play by watching a demonstration on television. i'm convinced that it's very easy to make a hole in one. at least this one. -in the demonstration, the golfer knocked a ball off his friend's head. i'm not using a ball. being a beginner, i feel i'm entitled to a larger target. perhaps you'd better look the other way. -i know i shall. well, coming into the back nine, he had me by three strokes, and, boy, was he crowing. you know how mr. sloan is. he loves to rub it in. how did you finish? -i was one up. he was mad enough to jump into the water hazard. i don't know how you do it, eldon. the old man gets at least 280 yards on his drives. yeah, well, he's strong enough, but i've got the old equalizer. -his strength doesn't do him any good on the green at all. he three-putted the last five holes. well, i'm going up and collect my drink. see you later, eldon. charlie, put my clubs in the rack. -well, next saturday i take on our new salesman. he tells me he shoots in the high 80s. you'll beat phillips, mr. sloan. i don't know. you know, i haven't broken 90 in years. -and he's a big, strong fellow. say, what makes you think i'll beat him? he's a salesman, isn't he? you never play a customer's game, do you, eldon? no, i suppose not. -well, he certainly makes a wonderful impression. you know, i think i've picked the right man. oh, that was really fun. it really was. thank you. -the both of you. and let's do it again sometime. oh, yes. real soon. your wife is a very good dancer. -yes, i know. well, carl, how about some bridge? any time you like, mr. sloan. you ready, eldon? whenever you say. -well, how about making a fourth, wayne? what? you play bridge, don't you? sure, but this is my first night, harvey. let me enjoy myself. -all right, have your fun while you're young. but that bridge table's gonna get you someday. i'll wait. ed, come on. you play with us. -come on, fellas. sorry, honey, i'll be back... ed. ed, don't you worry. i'll look after her. -mrs. sobol, this is my dance. it sure is. well, how did you like him? who? wayne phillips. -he's all right, i guess. a typical salesman. is that all? you know i never form any impressions of people the first time i meet them. you had a long conversation with him. -did i? were you timing it? no. of course not. you just seemed fascinated by him. -eldon, i'm really very tired. very, very, very tired. you were, weren't you? you're the one who must've been fascinated by him. you keep talking about him. -i just wanted your opinion of him, that's all. i don't think i liked him. in fact, the whole thing rather disgusted me. everyone fawning all over him, even mr. sloan. after all, he's just another hot-shot salesman you stole from another company. -if a stranger had walked in, he would have thought that wayne phillips owned kay corporation. he has a way about him. yes. he certainly has. i'm glad you don't like him. -if you had, i certainly would've been worried. well, you needn't worry. good night, dear. good night. good morning, eldon. -good morning. say, eldon, you know those saturday night things at the country club? boy, they are a great idea. it's just like one big, happy family. that's right. -what can i do for you? i just dropped in for a chat. you know, i always like to get to know the people i'm working with. how's louise? she's fine. -she's a lovely girl, eldon. all the wives are. and pretty, too. hey, you know that sobol's wife, she ought to be in the movies. what's her first name? -jean. i'm surprised you didn't learn that saturday night. i don't work that fast. you certainly didn't waste any time learning my wife's first name. why, eldon, i wouldn't have thought you were the jealous type. -i didn't think accountants got emotional about anything. i didn't say i was jealous. you're acting like it. what's the matter, don't you trust your wife? i trust her implicitly. -well, then it must be me you don't trust. we can't have that, eldon. think what it'll do to harvey's big, happy family. hey, don't you really trust your wife? let's get one thing straight, phillips. -yes, i do trust my wife with you because i trust her. as for you, personally, i wouldn't trust you as far as i could throw you. that wouldn't be very far, would it, little man? i know your type, phillips. -i'm warning you right now. you're warning me? you heard me. just don't try to prove your irresistibility with my wife. eldon, i don't know whether that's a warning or a dare. -you got yourself a pair of shoes, huh? yeah. i thought the others were gonna fall apart. hi, mr. sloan. say, have you fellows seen wayne phillips anywhere? -no, i haven't seen him, mr. sloan. he was supposed to meet me on the first tee at 1:00. it's after 2:00 now. well, he certainly wouldn't stand you up. you don't suppose he had an accident? -oh, no. no. something probably came up. he had a lot of important deals cooking. well, i'll give him a few more minutes. -it may not be an important deal, but i'll bet it's interesting. he doesn't care whose time he does it on either. yeah, i wonder whose time he's really beating. you'd think he'd have better sense. the old man thinks he's the blue-eyed wonder. -but just let phillips get into a messy situation and see how long he lasts. you can't expect the man to be a hermit. romancing a dame is one thing, but playing around with somebody else's wife is something else. who is she? that's what i've been wondering. -well, i'm not going to wait any longer. hey, what's the matter with you, eldon? i don't feel well. you look like you're going to be sick. do you want a doctor? -no, i'll be all right. listen, carl, why don't you play with mr. sloan? i... sure. suppose he'll be all right? -sure. something he ate. dave. dave. another one. -excuse me. hello, dear. i'm sorry i'm late. but i just couldn't get organized today. are you starved? -no, i'm not hungry. oh, good. i'll have time for a martini. dave, very, very, very dry this time, okay? thank you. -well, how was the game? i didn't play. oh? why didn't you? well, i felt sick about 2:00. -i almost came home. well, you should have. i could have done something for you. i thought you might be out at the market or someplace. eldon, you know very well i never market on saturdays. -i was home all day. thank you, dave. eldon. we're vulnerable, partner. they've got a part score of 60. -we'll cut that leg off. one no trump. watch you don't cut your own throat. two clubs. two hearts. -pass. four hearts. pass. pass. pass. -four hearts it is. good luck, partner. i'll need it. well, down two and vulnerable. that cost us $500. -pretty expensive game. yes, it was. how'd do you do, partner? down two. what was the idea of bidding four hearts? -you had a lay down at three no trump. oh, i'm sorry. we'll make it up next hand. whose deal? mine. -well, eldon. feeling better? hi. eldon. eldon, what the devil do you think you're doing? -i want to fight this man. you're drunk. not drunk enough. here, somebody take him to the washroom and sober him up. this man has to fight me. -don't be ridiculous. what do you want to fight wayne for? he knows. ask him where he went when he was the dummy. ask him where he was this afternoon when he was supposed to be playing golf with you. -well, now don't you think that's his own business? not when it involves my wife. why that's nonsense. here, you go on and be a good boy before i get mad. why you? -come on. get mad. go ahead, fight me. no. no, i'm not going to fight you, eldon. -i'm too big for you. you're drunk, you're imagining things. of course you are. now go on home and sleep it off. you shut up and stay out of this. -come on, phillips, fight me! you're making us all look very foolish. do like harvey says before something happens to you. you're scared. that's right, little man. -i'm scared. scared if i hit you, i'll kill you. well, that's the way it's gonna have to be. you'll kill me or else i'll kill you. you fool. -you complete fool. i suppose phillips brought you home. i can't see that it makes any difference now since you've announced it to the whole world. you might have had a little understanding. he stole my wife. -these things happen all the time. but most men have sense enough not to make a spectacle of themselves. it's degrading. you said you didn't like him. i suppose you're going to him now? -no. no, i'm not. you very nicely ruined that for me. it's what you intended to do, isn't it? you created such a scandal, we couldn't possibly go on. -but if i can't have wayne, it doesn't mean i'm going to stay with you. i'm leaving you, eldon. i'll be out of here in a few minutes, mr. sloan. i'm just cleaning out a few things. eldon, i don't understand you. -you put me in a position where i had to fire you. now, if you'd just kept quiet about it, the whole thing would have blown over. wayne phillips isn't in love with your wife. i know that. if he was love with her, i wouldn't have done it. -but he just made her cheap. that's why i'm going to fight him. now use your head, eldon. you can't fight a big man like wayne. he's too strong for you. -you found that out saturday night. he's got to fight me. why don't we all be sensible about this thing? now, look. you've been assistant treasurer here for a good many years. -and a good one. wayne is... well, he's just a salesman, and the woods are full of them. now you put that stuff back in your desk and we'll forget all about wayne phillips, okay? no, mr. sloan. -i appreciate it, but i can't do it. this is something between him and me, and we've got to settle it. marsh, you must be out of your mind. yeah, i know how this sounds, jean, but it's the truth. yes, you ought to be in pictures. -you really think so? i certainly do. if i were a producer... what are you doing here? you're not a member anymore. -i'm your guest. well, all right, you're my guest. go ahead, have a drink. dave, will you fix him up with a drink? don't buy me a drink, phillips. -i'd only throw it in your face again. well, what do you want? i want a fight. a fight? you had that. -i knocked you cold. wasn't that enough? no, it wasn't. i told you the way it's got to be. you've got to kill me, or i'll kill you. -you're crazy. this man's crazy. maybe i am. louise has left me. did you know that, phillips? -well, eldon, i'm sorry, but you can see that i haven't got her. you didn't even have the decency to take her after she left me. i loved her phillips. we had a happy life together. now she's gone i don't know where. -eldon, i'm sorry. that's not enough. you can't do a thing like this and just pass it off by saying that you're sorry. you've got to fight me. this is silly. -i'm not going to fight you again. i'm twice your size. it wouldn't be fair. that's right. it wouldn't, would it? -all right, then. let's forget it. i'll apologize for hitting you the first time. there are other ways of fighting than with your fists. what do you mean? -well, since you're so much bigger than me, let's equalize it. you can choose the weapon. weapon? you mean to fight a duel? that would be fair, wouldn't it? -we would both have the same weapon. why, that's the craziest thing i've ever heard of. people don't fight duels today. we can. it's illegal. -so is what you did to louise and me. you broke up our home. now you've got to take the consequences. look, eldon, stay away from me. listen you... -you get out of here. get him out before i kill him! so we're all even at the end of 16 and i hit a tremendous tee-shot. wayne here goes... yes. -just a minute. it's for you, wayne. thank you, ed. hello? what do you want? -i've got nothing to discuss with you. i want to know when you're going to fight with me. will you stop bothering me? no, mr. phillips. i'm going to keep right on bothering you until this is settled. -you're with friends, aren't you? i don't think you want me to come over there. no, i don't. it won't do you any good to come. you're barred. -you won't get inside the door. so don't waste my time or yours. phillips? what are you doing here? i came here to discuss our duel. -yeah, well, i've had enough of you. if you go inside, i'll follow you. you'll only be thrown out again. that's all right. every time you get somebody else to do your fighting, you get smaller and smaller. -and by the time i'm through with you, everybody in this town is gonna know what a coward you are. every time you come near me i'm going to flatten you. and that'll only show what a bully you are. wait a minute. you're not going to try to blackmail me. -i'm doing a pretty good job of it. you must like getting your face smashed in. i haven't felt anything since louise left me. you see, phillips, you don't want to die. that's why you're afraid of me. -but i don't care, so i have nothing to be afraid of. that's the equalizer. all right, what do you want from me? a fight. a fair fight. -you choose the weapon. well, if that's the only way i can get rid of you, i've got no choice. have you got a gun? i can get one. -well, you get it. i'll meet you in two hours. where? the roof of the kay corporation building? i'll be waiting for you. -all right. if you don't come, i'll keep after you... now don't you worry. i'll be there. back to back, 10 paces, turn and fire. -hey, look. hey, why do you insist on being killed? what makes you think i will be? it's an even fight now. it doesn't matter that you're twice as big, or twice as strong as i am. -the guns cut you down to my size. we'll be on equal terms. two hours, phillips. right over there. okay, let's have it. -what happened here? oh, his name was marsh. he was the treasurer of the company i work for. he lost his job and blamed me for it. no real reason. -i'm a salesman. i couldn't have handled his job if it had been offered to me. what was he doing up here? up here? i don't know what he was doing up here. -you see, he telephoned me and said he wanted to talk about something. he insisted that i meet him up here. he said if i didn't come that he'd come to the country club and make a scene. the minute i stepped out here on the roof, he came at me with a gun, and... eddie, come over here for a minute. -a good thing i was armed. i have been ever since he started threatening me. so you let him have it? well, yes. what else could i do? -it was either him or me. i shot just a second before he could. don't hand me that, mister. i don't know what happened up here, but this little guy wasn't going to shoot. he doesn't even have a gun. -look for yourself. so much for the high price of low fidelity. i'm quite angry with my friend. he ruined my club. and he didn't land anywhere near the hole. -as a matter of fact, i can't even find him. now i'll have to buy a ball. it's quite distressing. why don't you join me in the locker room after we pass one of those sand traps that dot the fairways of television? i thought we'd never get out of that one. -however, we seemed to have completed the course in 30 minutes, which is par. why don't you join us next week for another round? in the clubhouse, of course. good night. subtitles: -pandora handsome serge hello tine! hello christine. my little francois! -you haven't changed a bit. wait i have to get my bag. have you got anything for me?

why'd you say that? -he likes to make sermons. he made one for me once. didn't you father? are you drunk? not very. -isn't it true, father. you made a nice sermon? if i did, you needed it. or at least i thought you did. you think i don't understand you. -i know what you all think. you despise me. you won't listen. you've never listened to me. i want to help you. -you won't let me. here we go again! you have no confidence in me and i did all i could to help. yes, yes. goodbye. -see what i mean, francois. what can you do?

nobody could be sure. but he acted like he didn't know. -but you couldn't reckon on it. who told you? marie. don't let it bother you. you like pate? -he wanted me to say it. what's wrong? he snuck in like a snake... let go of me! let go! -it was your fault. why did you tell me, huh?

what did the doctor say? it can't be serious. -they would have told me. what a fuss. oh, it keeps them busy. well, i'm going downstairs. i saw you coming. -glomand just told me. how is he? you scared him. nothing serious? of course not. -what got you into it anyway? i was fighting mad. it's disgusting. it's not disgusting. it's almost normal. -after all, maybe you are right. i don't understand you. things are so different here. you saw how they live, didn't you. do you realize he held himself for three years? -just think, together all that time, knowing she wasn't his. and what about marie? did anyone ask her? that's all she was thinking about. it's not true -sure it is. that's horrible. what's horrible about it? it's not horrible. it's normal. -what makes you that way? everybody's that way that's not true. you're just like animals. you have no purpose in life. -you're right. where could we find one? we make just enough to keep from straving. the earth is granit. we work because there is nothing else to do. -look, most of them live at least 3 miles away. soon the snow'll be up to their knees and they'll want to learn. yeh, we're animals. no one gives a damn. go away then? -to the army? like jacques? no, that's no good. besides, someone has to stay. see what i mean? -i think so, yes. we need something to hang on to. a guy whose never seen people walk won't try. quite right. ok, make fun of me. -to get back to marie. i bet she'll come to the dance. for novemeber, it sure is hot. bottle of wine, please. all alone michel?

yvonne is tired. we just got here. can't we go, serge? -too bad. be reasonable. go to hell! always yvonne. i've had a belly full of her. -you leave her alone. and me too, see? want to go outside? i said scram! do you get me? -i'll knock your... are you gonna lay off? i said leave me alone. go away! gonna lay off or not? -can't you see i'm fed up. answer me! mind your own business. gonna lay off me? are you? -you're strong. i need a drink. you sure showed him, serge! i guess the city guy had it tough. did you get a load of that? -you ought to be a boxer, serge! go away! you see how they are. you'll get hurt if you stay. go! -what a bore! it's him again. yes, i saw him. what do i do? show him in. -i can say you are asleep. i can't be asleep all the time. no, please show him up. am i distrubing you? no, not at all. -i came twice. you were sleeping. i just want to see you. how are you francois? fine. -you don't look it. it's a little cold, but i'm ok. i haven't seen much of you lately. i don't go out much. they say you stayed locked up 2 weeks. -is it true? you're well informed. you know, they told me about the dance and everything. i'd like to give you some friendly advice. it'd be better if you left. -why? you're doing yourself more harm than good. you're pale. i'm not leaving. but why? -you came to rest and it's obvious. no, i said i won't go away. why? what's holding you back? it can't be that girl. -no, something else. i just can't go away now. why can't you? they need me. francois, i think you're a little over excited. -they don't need you or anyone else. i think they do. didn't you see what happened when you tired to help them? that's just it. i'm beginning to understand. -i was wrong to lock myself up. they don't care about words. what do you mean? it's thanks to serge i understood i think they need... an example. and you're going to give it to them? -yes, me! are you going to do anything? you're a fool! who do you think you are? jesus christ? -do something! what are you going to do? i don't know. that's why i'm waiting. for what? -shut up like this. what are you hoping for? want me to tell you? you're humilated. your fine words are nothing, but pride. -so what? what do i care you call it? all that counts is to do something. you were right. i was wrong to shut myself up. -that's over. i'll find a way to help them. i don't care what you think. gathering wood? yes, twigs to light a fire. -let me help. no, i have enough. you shouldn't. it's tiring. we need a fire. -when's the baby due? next month, plenty of time. let me take that. i'm sorry about what serge did at the dance. forget it. -he was drunk. when he got home he was in a state. you know, yvonne it was my fault. i was clumsy. drunk, he'll do anything. -sure, wouldn't he gather some wood? he didn't send me. what's he doing? he's got his work. he still drive a truck? -no, not anymore. i don't know what he does now. he never comes home. he spends the night in a trance, sleeping like a log. i'd rather not see him. -because of the child, he always use to scare me. he remebers the first one and would make those awful faces. i'm sure this one will be fine. the first one didn't waggle so. sometimes i talk to him and he answers me like a living being. -and the doctor? they all think he'll be like the first. you still love serge? yes, it's unbelievable, huh? i used to admire him. -you remember how he was. now i want to keep him, protect him. you know i hated you, since you first arrived. i thought you were to blame for the way serge is. i thought you wanted to seperate us. -yvonne, serge isn't as crazy as you thought. you were right. last month we had a talk. i advised him to leave you. poor francois. -i thought you were above this. but you love him too. yes, i thought i was doing something right. he sure made us suffer. he's hurt me so many times. -why is he like that francois? because he's suffering himself. what's the matter? it's you! come down quick! -yvonne told me to get you. she's in labor. what's going on? nothing, nothing. she's at her house. -the doctor? the doctor, she didn't say. it's me yvonne. i'll help you. be brave. -that's better? you stay there, i'm going to the doctor. all right. cover up, it's snowing! is the doctor there? -no he isn't. well, where is he? where? at mathubert. glomaud had an attack. -look! it's snowing again. won't you come in? no, couldn't you come to yvonne's? she's in pain and there's no one. -it's too cold out. where's the doctor? he's at glomaud's. i'll get him. send someone else. -no, i've got to do it. who is it? it's francois. yvonne's in labor. i can't leave. -i came for you. he must go. what about him? she can't have her baby alone! get out! -when i get there, it'll be over. last time, i hardly made it. this time it's different. doc. listen to him. -no. he can't make you well. he's never made anyone well. i can help you, give you a shot. hurry. -please hurry. go to yvonne's doc. leave me alone with my marie. well, if that's the way it is, let's go. you'd better cover up. -leave me alone. he's got a suicide complex. shut up and let's hurry. christine, i need a big pan of boiling water, fast. i thought you weren't coming back. -easy now. yell if you want. where is he? i don't know, probably some barn. he'll come. -but we don't need him now. i'll go go where? you go back to the hotel, francois. that's enough. -you'll catch your death from cold. you stay here. there you are! wake up! it's your wife. -your baby's being born. come on. wake up. come with me please. stand up! -do it for me! stand up! leave me alone. in the other room. the forceps. -quick. wake up, serge. wake up. it's a baby. how is he? -you can't ask for the moon. he's no giant. oh, i thought... you hear him? oh, pye, pye, pyewacket. -what's the matter with me? why do i feel this way? it's such a rut. the same old thing day after day. the same old people. -oh, i know i'm feeling sorry for myself, but it's true. why don't you give me something for christmas, pye? hmm, what would i like? i'd like to do something different. i'd like to meet someone different. -look, there's that man upstairs. he's different. why don't i ever know people like that? hmm? why don't you give me him for christmas, pye? -why don't you give me him? you startled me. well, we're even. who are you? you do have a nice place here. -thank you. would you mind if i ask what you're doing in it? certainly not. i was going downstairs, and your door happened to be open. and i saw your window open too. -and the snow was coming through, and i thought you'd like me to close it. so i did. uh-huh. uh, it's odd i had to unlock the door to get in. yes, isn't it? -after all, you are fairly new in the building. i was only being neighbourly. mm-hmm. oh, are you the one that lives above me? ah. -well, tell me something, would you? are you studying dramatics, by any chance? dramatics? well, at night, i hear you through the ceiling as i'm trying to sleep. it sounds as though you're reciting or something. -can you understand what i say? no. i'll try not to do it so loudly. you read, don't you? and you have such a correspondence. -i straightened your desk up a bit. i'm afraid you're very sloppy. well, if you don't mind terribly, i have some telephoning to do some personal telephoning. before you moved in, a theosophist lived here, and he was very pleasant. -very pleasant. wow. hello? operator? i'm sorry to bother you. -i'm shepherd henderson. i live just above. i know. i'm gillian holroyd. how do you do? -my phone seems to be out of order. i wonder if i might use yours. i'm late for an appointment. certainly. come in. -thank you. it's in the back. thank you. you reading this? oh, magic in mexico. -yes. are you interested in that sort of thing? well, not personally, but, professionally, i'm a publisher. hello, operator? i'd like to report a phone out of order. -all right. did you publish that? no, but i wish i had. sold like the kinsey report. well, i can't think why. -it's completely phony. oh, it is? i spent a year in mexico. i'm sure they fed him a lot of fake tourist stuff, and he swallowed it whole. maybe they did that to kinsey too. -i certainly wish i'd put this one out though. as a matter of fact, i understand redlitch is about ready to change publishers. and, uh-uh, yes. well, i'll wait. would you like to meet him? -you know him? no, but i might know someone who does. well, i understand he's a drunk and a nut, but there's always a big market for the supernatural. yes, i'd like very much to meet him. then i'll see if i can arrange it sometime. -thank you. uh, uh supervisor? my number is chickering 4-5099, and it's out of order. well, i don't know what's wrong with it. -if you want my opinion i think it's sick. well, no matter what i dial, i get nothing but these idiotic sounds. i... how's that? no, that's just it. -they're not mechanical. they're more human. or inhuman. well, maybe it is goblins. i know it sounds strange, but i want it fixed, huh? -merry christmas to you too. perhaps you need a drink. well, i'm in an awful hurry. maybe i can have a rain check. certainly. -thank you. there we are. this is a fascinating shop. what's this? that's a bayaka mask from the belgian congo. -looks a little like a german governess i used to have. how did you ever get interested in all this? i majored in anthropology at college. gillian, you've got to change your mind and come along. i didn't know you had company. -this is shepherd henderson, queenie. this is my aunt, miss holroyd. your aunt? mr. henderson and i saw each other a little earlier. i'm afraid he thinks i've been naughty. -oh, no. no, not exactly. oh, good. gillian, you can't stay in tonight. all our friends will be at the zodiac. -mr. henderson, persuade her for me. the zodiac? i don't think i know it. i don't imagine you would. it's kind of a dive. -but it's fun. coax her for me. uh-huh. well, is it fun? it certainly can be. -well, then you oughtn't stay home christmas eve. yeah. well, now, thanks again for the phone. and merry christmas. merry christmas. -good night. merry christmas. i think you like him. yes, i do. very much. -did you bring him here? no. no, he came to use the phone. you broke into his apartment, didn't you? i didn't break in, dear. -and you fixed his phone. i'm angry with you, queenie. really angry. you promised. i promised to be careful. -besides, it serves him right. he wasn't nice to me at all. and what harm did i do? i didn't take anything. all right, i read his letters. -now really, queenie. but it's not as if i were going to make use of them. it's too bad, though, he's getting married, isn't it? he's getting married? how do you know? -oh, one of his letters, i suppose. well, that rules him out. i don't see why. i don't take other woman's men. but it would be so easy, and it would be such good practice for you, darling. -and he'd never suspect, not in a million years. honestly, it's amazing the way people don't. they just don't believe there are such things. i sit in the subway sometimes or on buses or at the movies. i look at the people next to me, and i think, -"what would you say if i told you i was a witch?" i know they'd never believe it. they just wouldn't believe it. and i'd giggle- and giggle to myself. you have got to stop giggling here. -queenie, i want you to swear that you'll stop practising in this apartment house. but you practice here. i can be discreet about it. you can't. i shall move to a hotel. -very well then. but if you get into trouble there, don't look for me to get you out. auntie, i want you to swear... that you will never practice witchcraft again in this house. if you don't, you'll be sorry. and you know i can make you sorry too. -"say "i swear." i swear. really, auntie. it's for our own good, dear. well, i think you're very cruel. -if you'll wait, i'll change. i was present. i was there. there were only a few of us, of course, but i actually saw her do it. i'm afraid i must agree with you... up to a point. -matilda's technique is superb, but her brewing lacks quality. but on the other hand, mrs. de passe, you must admit that her ointments. have done wonders. ointments. oh, my dear. -i abandoned ointments when i was 14. that's understandable. of course, no one can mention matilda and you in the same breath. there's been nothing this century like you. sweet. -oh, gil, darling, you're depressed. i expect it's christmas. always upsets me. auntie? auntie, don't you ever wish that you weren't... what we are? -no. that you could just spend christmas eve in a little church somewhere, listening to carols instead of bongo drums? now, now. come over and join zoe and waldo and the others. why, even mrs. de passe is here. -i wish i could just spend some time with some everyday people for a change. you wouldn't like it, darling. they're ordinary and humdrum. yes, i suppose so. but it might be pleasant to be humdrum once in a while. -perhaps you'd like to be humdrum with that mr. henderson? i wouldn't mind. well, it has to be around here some place. i looked it up in the directory. all right, shep, i grant you this place may be different. -but must it be invisible? now, listen. i swear i hear music. don't you hear music? uh-uh. -now, listen. listen. shh, shh. what's that? look. -drums. hey, hello down there! hello! zodiac? hello down -hey, this is it. see there? okay, i'll bet this is it. there. a trail. -follow the yellow line... and keep going and keep going... and there is an arrow. success. come on. are you sure you wouldn't rather go back to el morocco? oh, come on. -this will be fun. good evening. oh, hello. providing the signs are favourable, the zodiac welcomes you. date of your birth, sir? -um, march 12. sign of the fish. the time is favourable. fish. sign of the fish. -shep, this is the scrabby end. the night is favourable- auspicious for love, pleasure, entertainment. go right down. oh, thanks. thanks. -come on. it's not supposed to be known, but he's from the paris chapter. this is a charming little number... about a man who was assassinated and thrown into a river. that was 10 years ago, and there he's been all this time... at the bottom. without food, alcohol or a female friend. -in addition, he detests water. you won't catch her at el morocco. she looks like she's been living in a pickle barrel. i think she's the one. there's a snapshot of her in his desk drawer. -but, auntie, i think... yes. yes, i'm sure i do. i know that girl. you sure you don't mind? -of course not. we're delighted. that's very kind of you. there we are. thank you. -i believe miss kittridge and i know each other. oh? i don't seem to remember. wellesley. we were in the same dormitory. -yes. yes, of course. you were that girl who used to come to class barefoot. they put you on probation for it, didn't they? somebody wrote a note to the dean about it. -i wear them in public now, mr. henderson. oh, sure. that, uh- that band certainly is different. yes, nicky and the boys play very well together. nicky's the one playing the bongos. -up to a few months ago, he'd never studied music. he's quite remarkable. yes, particularly when you consider that, before that, he used to work in an herb shop. uh-huh. looks to me as if he's eaten one herb too many. -that's why he acts so creepy, i suppose. no, it's not that at all. it's just that all the holroyds are a little sinister. you see, nicky's my brother. yeah. -i'm terribly sorry. uh... oh, waiter? yes, sir? give us two more of those, a vodka and tonic and a scotch and soda. -yes, sir. miss kittridge had a- a quirk at college too. thunderstorms. thunderstorms? you do remember them? -just an old bugaboo of mine. why, that last spring at school, it was most astonishing how many dreadful thunderstorms there were. remember? yes, i remember. it was most extraordinary. -why, they lasted for weeks. did they really scare you? i'd rather not talk about it. merle, are you all right? shep, get me out of here! -all the girls loathed her. she was a liar and a sneak. and you know what else, auntie? she used to write poison-pen letters. that note to the dean was from her. -didn't you do anything about it? why do you suppose we had all the thunderstorms that spring? then that was you she was a nervous wreck by the end of the term. did you hear that, nicky? nicky! -why, nicky, how clever! yeah, it's nothing really. just something i picked up the other day. oh, nicky, will you ever grow up? and, auntie, you know something else? -she had a terrible reputation as a beau snatcher. well, isn't that nice? now you can't have a single twitch about taking him away from her. why, it wouldn't be anything for you. just a few words to pyewacket. -no, i don't want him that way. gillian, you haven't fallen in love with him and lost your powers? of course not. you don't believe that old wives' tale? well, they say it's true. -nonsense. it's the other way around. we can't fall in love. i wonder. i wonder if i could get him without tricks. -i wouldn't know, dear. i could never do it at all. if you both come in a moment, you can have your presents now. after all, it's been christmas for hours. wait a minute. -let me open. it's my turn now, nicky. let me. auntie... well, really! -if nicky can, why can't auntie! yeah. gil, i've got your present with me, dear, but i'm afraid it's kind of mingy this year. i've never been so broke. -that's all right, dear. i like it just the same. thank you. let me do it again. come on. -no. no, nicky, that's enough. come on, queenie, it's present time. come on, come on. you know something? -you know what i used to wonder as a kid? pye, pye, pyewacket. huh? oh, pyewacket. i always used to wonder why, all through history, witches were continually poor... when you'd think they could get whatever they wanted. -it's only because they weren't any good at it, any more than we are. thank you. we can turn out street-lights, but we can't make anything turn to gold. gil could. she could hex the entire stock market if she wanted to, but she's scared. -she's afraid of the repercussions. no, nicky. i just say you don't know what this kind of thing can do to you if you go too far. oh, records! oh, gil, wonder- gee, they're fine! -but i don't have a phonograph any more. you'll find you have one when you get home. oh, now, gil, that's too much. really? did you get it for me? -did you witch it, or did you pay for it? none of your business, nicky. tell me anyway. you mustn't ask that, nicky. it's like asking what it cost. -oh, this is lovely, gillian. what does it do? makes you look fascinating. you mean... no, auntie, it has no powers. -i just thought it was pretty. oh, it is. it's very pretty. l-i love it. thanks again, nicky. -what's it for? it's for summoning. you're supposed to take this liquid, and you paint it on an image or a drawing or a photograph of anybody that you want. and then you set fire to it, and- they gotta come to you. found it in a new little shop. -very interesting, nicky. gee, i hope it works for you. i couldn't even make it light. let's try it, right now. who are you going to try it on? -you'll see. nicky, get the bowl. auntie, the book on the desk and the scissors. the book on the desk and the scissors. who are you going to try it on? -the man who wrote this bool- sidney redlitch. where is he now? the wrapper says he lives in acapulco. any words? it says not. -all right. got a match? here. go. you're a genius. -why, it's mr. henderson! hello. well, are you having fireworks? i'm sorry to disturb you. i just thought the place was going up in flames. -oh, no. it's nothing like that. it's just a little game that we play. well, it seems rather dangerous, but go right ahead with it. no, no, no. -it's all right. we'd finished. nicky, i'm terribly tired. i must be leaving. good night. -huh? i think everything's working out wonderfully. merry christmas. oh! oh, yeah. -merry christmas. thanks again for the present. good night, mr. henderson, and merry christmas. merry christmas. merry christmas. -merry christmas. well, merry christmas. perhaps you'd like that rain check now. uh, all right. all right. -only make it a brandy, will you? tell me, how did you like the zodiac? well, i'm not quite sure. no, i... somehow it seemed more like halloween than christmas, but, uh... -i- did you know merle well in school? not very. i'm afraid your brother and those drums were a little too much for her. thank you. -she really is quite a wonderful girl. oh, is that your cat? i've seen him in the stairs lately, watching me come in and out. what's his name? pyewacket. -how's that? pyewacket. pyewacket. well, well, well. mm-hmm. -how do you do, pyewacket? ouch. oh, bad cat. oh. i'm glad he didn't scratch you. -oh, no. no, no, it's all right. he doesn't have very good manners, does he? it's just because you're a stranger. once he gets to know you... it's nice having you over me. -i mean, it's reassuring having a man near one, in case he's needed. merle and i are getting married tomorrow. i mean, today. we're, uh... we decided the whole thing driving home this evening. -you see, there's this party she's giving tomorrow, and we were going... i mean, today she's giving the party. we were going to announce the engagement then... and then do it later on. but that seems like such a hack's way of getting married, so what we're gonna do, we're just gonna drive up-state or over to jersey... or wherever it is that you do it... and... do it. hmm. -pyewacket. you know, it's funny, but all my life... i've been either too busy or too careful to get married. but now, all of a sudden i just i just can't wait. -just, uh-just can't wait. of course, i imagine it'll be a little strange at first because, uh... it, uh... well, it'd be sort of like somebody reading over your shoulder all the time. but, uh... you know, i think i'm allergic to your cat. -if it was anybody else but merle, of course, i'd- i'd be scared stiff. for one thing, she has such wonderful taste. in clothes, books, everything. and she paints very well too. -she paints in this sort of cloudy style. she was crazy about it. so i just never did tell her that i thought it was upside down. i've known her ever since she was a kid. i've sort of been rattling, haven't i? -i... you know, it's getting late. i think maybe i'd better go up. and- thank you for the drink. you know, tomorrow's going to be quite an important day for me. -i mean, today is going to be quite an important day. so if you'll excuse me now. that tune you're humming, what-what is that? just something i sing to pye now and then. uh-huh. -well... say something. i want to hear your voice again. do you like my voice? i like everything about you. -don't you know that by now? well, you've made it charmingly apparent. just what are you thinking at this moment? nothing. nothing at all. -and you? nothing. nothing either. i can't think. certainly, not this close to you. -by the way, where are we? on top of the flatiron building. you liked its shape, and you wanted to be on top of a tall building. we had no luck at the empire state. well, didn't we knock? -yes, we did, but they said no, not at 6:00 a. in. they were very understanding though. but not as understanding as this fellow downstairs. mm-mmm. -well, what about before? my place. why did we ever leave? you wanted to go dancing in the snow. ah. -of course, you don't remember. i remember every single moment, and i'm going to mush your nose. there's a timelessness about this. i-i feel spellbound. stay that way. -gillian, tell me now. just what has it meant to you? meant? these hours. they've been enchantment. -that's all? do we have to talk about it? yes. why? well, to begin with, i'm supposed to be getting married this morning. -are you? if not, i'd better ask myself some questions in a hurry. do you want to ask them, shep? right at this moment, i want never to stop seeing you. i know it doesn't make sense, but... -i have an idea i must be in love with you. has it hit you that way? i want you as much as you want me. would you like it to go on for always? does anything go on for always? -one likes to think some things do. maybe this is one of those things that burn themselves out. if it is, it's a whale of a fire. shep, it has hit me hard. good morning, pyewacket. -good morning. mmm, pyewacket. have we done something dreadful? hmm? good morning, sir. -good morning. merle, i've been taking stock. i'd make an impossible husband. well, things i've never told' you. i-i gargle. -i eat radishes. i chew tobacco. i spit. i'm an insomniac. don't sleep at all. -i stomp around the bedroom all night long, talking to myself. besides all that, i snore. what? you won't be happy with me, merle. not at all. -oh, shep, what's the matter with you? matter? well, i don't know exactly. you look green. darling, i hope you haven't too much of a hangover from last night. -no, you're just nervous you'll be all right. bonita phoned from westport. she's found a minister for us, and he'll be ready for us at 1:00. he even arranges for the photographers. isn't it exciting? -it's no good, merle. it's just no good. no use. are you still drunk? no, i'm not drunk i'm not drunk. -i may be intoxicated, but not drunk. you're certainly not acting like yourself. no, i'm not. you're almost like another person. that's exactly the way i feel, merle- like another person. -and i just don't seem to want to marry you any longer. and you wouldn't want me to marry you when i don't want to, would you? are you trying to say you're... jilting me? that's a very heavy word, merle. -that's a very heavy word. let's just say that we're uncoupling. you sound like a lunatic. yes, that's very true. very true. -merle... i'm sorry, merle. i can't really explain this. i don't fully understand it myself. what am i supposed to tell people? -just what do you expect me to do? you could go back to arthur o'neill, the fellow you jilted. or you could take a world cruise. you could redecorate this apartment. it really needs it, merle. -you are a vile, sleazy- uh-huh. contemptible- uh-huh. i'm a cad. good-bye, merle. almost forgot my hat. -oop. sorry. excuse me. taxi! good morning, tina. -nice christmas? oh, very nice. and yours, mr. henderson? superb. the mail is on your desk, and mr. white is in, and the faulkner galleys are ready. -and that gentleman is waiting to see you. bergdorf called about that negligee you wanted sent to miss kittridge. i see. tina, why don't you just have them send that to your house? hmm? -and i'm not going to have lunch with miss kittridge, or dinner. so you can just cancel all those reservations. you mean you've broken up with that... and we don't want to have a perfectly good negligee go to waste, do we? uh, mr. henderson, i'm sidney redlitch. -you don't know me, but, uh, i think i want to see you. you're who? redlitch. magic in mexico. magic in mexico? -oh, of course. uh, redlitch. well, i'm glad to see you. i'm astonished to see you. here, sit down. -yeah, i was just talking to some... i was talking to some people just the other night about you. only i understood you were in mexico yeah, that's, uh- that's right. you see, there is this new book that i'm about to get into. and all of a sudden i get this urge, this uncontrollable urge to talk with you about it. -first, i figured i'd write to you. then i thought maybe i'd phone. all of a sudden i decided i had to see you. sol grabbed a plane, and here i am. i didn't expect this kind of weather. -it's chilly here, isn't it? yeah. are you looking for something? um, a little, um, post-christmas cheer? oh, certainly. -tina, get the... scotch? bourbon? it doesn't make any difference. uh, sit down. -oh, thank you. listen, um... mr. henderson. you ever publish anything on witchcraft? uh, no. -you know anything about it? well, not exactly. you will. you will. when this new one comes out, this will knock you over. -it will? water or soda? uh... knock 'em over. shep, i thought that we might -oh. oh, andy, come in. meet sidney redlitch. this is my partner, andy white, mr. redlitch. how do you do, sir? -mr. redlitch wrote magic in mexico. oh, yes. yes, remember that one? he's just about to do another. what are you going to call this one? -magic in manhattan, or witchcraft around us. is it around us? you bet your boots it is, son. it's all around us. you probably thought it was kind of confined to the jungles and the tropics. -well, it's not. it's right here new york is full of 'em. full of what? witches, boy. witches. -now, how do you know that? oh, sure. go ahead. uh, what was that? scotch. -make this one bourbon, would you? how do i know? i've met a couple. met them through my book, before i went to mexico. take my word for it. -right here, all around us, there's a whole community of them. what do they look like? like anybody else. like, uh like her. -like him. of course, when it's a man it's called a warlock. mm-hmm. did you know they can't cry? they can't cw? -physically impossible for a witch to shed a tear or blush. when you throw them in the water, they float. well, you mean you can actually contact these people? of course you can contact them. they have their hangouts. -and they're open to the public- cafés and bars and nightclubs. they've got a place there in the village- the zodiac. then over in brooklyn, there's one called the... you don't take this very seriously, do you? oh, yes, i do. -but i've got some work to do right now. besides, mr. henderson's in complete charge of our abracadabra department. well, see you later. um, uh, redlitch, you said the zodiac. the little place in the cellar? -yeah, yeah. the headquarters is downstairs. their headquarters? is that well, i'll be darned. -what's the matter? oh, nothing, nothing, nothing. what are you doing this evening? i'd like you to have a drink with a couple friends of mine. oh, sure. -i'd love to. there's something else about them. they can't cry. they can't shed a tear or blush. if you throw them in the water, they float. -tell them about the zodiac, the place where nicky works. mmm, the zodiac. that's their headquarters. the place is infested with them. what do you know? -just take a good look at the proprietor sometime. you mean to tell me he's a witch? absolutely. what is it they call a man witch? a warlock. -a warlock. warlock. you'd never know it to look at him, would you? you wouldn't, but i would. you can recognize them? -like a shot. how? just a look or a feeling or something. i can't put my finger on it, but if one came in here right now i'd know him in a minute. -yeah. i wonder if we know any of them? i wonder. i suppose there's lots of it around. yeah, it's sort of like the flu. -make fun, make jokes, but my old publisher's interested. oh, no. oh, no. as a matter of fact, i've come to a decision. i'll publish your book. -tell you the truth, i wouldn't think of not publishing it. i've watched everything from arthritis to the dead sea hit the best seller list. why not this? great, boy. you'll never regret it. -well, this calls for a little celebration. i think i'll join you. this is just an amazing coincidence. only the other night, gillian was asking me if i'd like to meet mr. redlitch. it was in this room, wasn't it? -remember? toast. ""ring the bell, close the book, quench the candle." that's how they used to exorcise them, put them out of business. in medieval times, of course. -of course, of course. tell me, mr. redlitch, is it safe to write about all this? aren't you afraid of reprisals? as a matter of fact, i am. but, you see, there's a woman very high up in the movement. -if i can find her, i hope to get her on my side. who's that? it's a mrs. de... ah. i can't tell you. -oh, mrs. de passe? how do you know that? i heard someone mention her name at the- at the zodiac. they say she smokes cigars made of seaweed. sounds like her all right. -sure hope i can locate her. i'm going to start looking tonight. hasn't this cat got anything better to do? couldn't you give him something to read? i'll put him out. -i don't know. there's something about that cat. they make excellent familiars. "familiars"? almost all witches have them- pets who have to carry out their master's bidding. -shep, you did say we're going dancing, didn't you? oh, oh! yes, yes! oh, my! i forgot. -i've got something on the stove upstairs. don't dance all night. good-bye. yes, i've got to go too. i'll get my coat. -turn off the lamps, won't you, shep? oh, surely. sorry we have to run, mr. redlitch. oh. i don't like him looking for mrs. de passe. -put him off the track. yeah. yeah, i see what you mean. mr. redlitch, what you said is terribly interesting. if wonder if you'd mind if i walked along with you? -oh, that's a wonderful idea. maybe we can stop some place and have a little drink. i know just the spot- a little bar called the mumbo jumbo. oh. keep in touch with me now. -oh, don't worry. i'll touch you for an advance. that's a little play on words. good night. good night. -quite a fellow, that redlitch. i thought you'd be interested in meeting him. don't forget your shoes. here. the amazing part about it, i think he really believes there are such things as witches. -just so he doesn't think i'm one. yeah. now, now, we're going dancing. remember? yeah, yeah. -but first... why do we have to go dancing? i like it here. you'll be back. you bet i will. -let's see now. laundry, hotel room, mon-money. barbershop. a good barber. a little trim. -not too much. and a typewriter. i've got to get a typewriter. i'll loan you mine. really? -yep. that's very friendly. thank you. listen, you know something? there's one thing that you might... need i%ah. -he's closed. and that would be a collaborator. no, i mean it. someone that could really scout around for you. you know, get some dope for you. -let you in on some things. let me in? yeah. listen. i am as in as anybody... but one of them himself could be. -and if i got you one of them to collaborate with? uh, that would be different. would you split 50-50? su-sure. be worth it. -uh-huh. you're naive, boy. they're very tight with their trade secrets. they wouldn't i could never get near a deal like that. -you are nearer than you think. see them? watch. you. you know, you get better all the time. -so do you. your nose is cold. mmm. i'm cold-blooded. oh, i wouldn't say that. -that's not fair. hello. oh, nicky, what is it? i know i haven't. i've been busy. -quite busy. no, no, not the way you think. just busy. now, what do you want? very well then. -say it over to me, and i'll correct you. that's it. oh, just a minute, nicky. the water's boiling. shep, will you? -oh, sure. nicky, no, not now, i tell you. i'm not alone. no, nothings going on. just what do you want to know all this for? -what? what do you mean you're working with redlitch? no. look, i've got to hang up now. i'll see you tomorrow. -gil, where's the tea? oh. oh, the tea. just a minute. where's the tea? -right here. oh, there it is. gil? hmm? when are we going to get married? -oh. well, i must have missed a chapter somewhere. after the last two weeks, you can't say this is so sudden. no. no, but i just... -well, i hadn't thought of marriage. darling, that's the man's remark usually. gil, i-i've really got it bad. i've let everything slide. i have a pile of unopened manuscripts in my office this high. -i can't stay in my office for wanting to get to you. i'm going crazy. we can't go on like this. shep. shep, that's the woman's remark usually. -no, no. why don't you get your shoes? i'm sure they're dry. wait a minute. why are you ducking this? -tell me. i'm serious. shep, i just don't think i'm cut out for marriage. that's all. why not? -well, because of the way that i've lived... selfishly and restlessly, one thing after another. you make it sound so- i don't mean affairs. what does it mean then? i don't understand. it's just that... -it's just that my life has been sort of, well, disreputable. at least, seen through your eyes. well i'm cynical, and i'm jealous and i'm vindictive. i don't believe that. -well, it's true. shep i have always lived for and by the special, not the ordinary. why, i've never even thought of marriage. well, it would mean giving up a whole way of thinking... behaving... a whole-whole existence. -i don't know if i could. but i wish i could. oh, gil... shep, why don't you take this and the tea into the other room? what? -i'll get your shoes. oh, i wonder, i wonder. i wonder if i could. suppose he found out afterwards? don't look at me like that. -i will if i want to. shep, i will. i'd like to hear that again. i will. i want to. -and i'll be different from now on, i swear. i don't want you any different. but i want to be. i want to be quite different. no, i won't stand for it. -;, ' hey, surprise! you're quite a stranger. makin' hay, huh? boy, we are. -shep promised redlitch he'd read the first half tonight. n icky. huh? when did you get mixed up in this? what? -hmm? oh, the night that redlitch and i left your shop. you remember? honestly, you'd die laughing if you read some of the stuff redlitch has been writing. it's wrong. -it's all wrong. it took me quite a while to straighten him out. what do you mean straighten him out? huh? you haven't told him about yourself, have you? -well, of course. i told him nearly everything. i want it to sell, don't i? he doesn't know about me, does he, nicky? oh, no, dear. -he doesn't know about you. i told him i was the one who summoned him to new york. of course, if you want to take the credit... i do not want to take the credit. you fool. -don't you know it doesn't pay to tell outsiders? wow. well, i think it will pay very well this time. shep has already given redlitch a generous advance. nicky, you cannot publish this book. -what is the matter with you? why not? shep and i are getting married. well, goodness sakes. bless your little heart. -congratulations. thank you. marriage, no less. what fun. shep's really gonna have quite a time, isn't he? -no jokes, nicky, and no tricks. you don't mean this is on the level? yes. yes, i do. why? -you already got him. what do you want to marry him for? because i want to live with him. because i'm happy with him. oh. -i suppose the next thing is you're going to say... you're giving it all up, you're renouncing. i have renounced. you've what? and this is too close to home, nicky. well, i'm sorry. -this is very important to me. well, it is much more important to me. and i want you to stop it. what are you doing? not a chance! -i'm not gonna spend my life being a tom-tom player! very well then. i'll just have to do something about it. you mean you're gonna pull one, are you? i thought you said you were renouncing. -i'll make a farewell appearance for this. you will? but i wouldn't. i wouldn't, gil. if you do, i promise you something. -your little romance is gonna go on the rocks! ;, * absolute trash. garbage. very frankly, this is the most idiotic thing i've ever read in my life. -you should call it what every young witch ought to know... and include a do-it-yourself kit with every sale. but i thought you were keen on the idea. yes, i was, but i certainly have changed my mind. why? why? -because... be- i couldn't go on with a spoof. spoof? silly, isn't it? it certainly is silly, and i don't intend... to become the laughingstock of the trade by publishing it. -every word is gospel, boy. gospel. what's the use, sid? he isn't having any. this is my hour of grief. -well, now, sidney, maybe we can find something to tide you over. a little bourbon? scotch? oh, that's right, you don't, uh... you don't care which one it is. -nicky, will you have one? no thanks. i've had plenty. here you are. uh... -hello, miss holroyd. hello. is mr. henderson busy? yes, but there's a mr. holroyd with him. now of course you understand, you can keep the advance. -well, think of the devil. i'm sorry, shep. i have to see you. now. hi, dear. -this is a pleasant surprise. come on in. what do you suppose, gil? shep turned down the book. yes, i'm afraid i had to. -here, sit down. you bet you did. so long, shep. bye, nicky. you and gil will be hearing from me. -sidney. oh, here, you forgot your manuscript. well, just drop it in the waste-basket. it was silly of me to try this writing bit anyway. wasn't it, gil? -of course, nicky, you can always go to another publisher. no, i don't guess any other publisher would do us much good. would it, gil? i doubt it. i don't suppose you'd be interested in the sequel i have in mind... about the islands in the caribbean... -voodoo among the virgins. no, huh? hmm. nicky. don't trouble, nicky. -i'm going to tell shep. either way, it's your funeral, isn't it, dear? well, now, what was that all about? shep, i decided this morning that... well, that there's something i had to tell you, even... even if i thought you'd never find out. -tell me what? shep. there are people who... well, i've got to say it- who live by magic. by magic, huh? -you don't believe there is such a thing. no, no, dear. no, i don't. shep. i'm one. -you're one what? one of the people that the book's about, and nicky's one too. oh. he persuaded you to come in on it, huh? well, i-i'm sorry, dear it just won't work. -i'd be happy to publish the book for you, but just for you. but it's just terrible. no, you don't understand, shep. i'm trying to explain something. now, if you're trying to prove to me that nicky's a witch... -the word is "warlock." all right, warlock. we don't have to be technical. dear, listen... well, what is wrong? has nicky been threatening you or something? -about telling me something about you? well, that's easy. you can just tell me yourself. that's what i'm trying to do. is it something in your past? -what have you been up to? you been engaging in un-american activities or something? no, i'd say very american. early american. hmm. -yeah? maybe. i don't know. okay, i'll have a look. just give me a minute. -shep, there are people who possess powers that others don't. you go right ahead, dear. i'm listening. there are ways of altering things, of manipulating things for yourself. that's very interesting. -it's true, i know! i can do it. you can? well, go ahead, do something. go on, show me. -no. why not? because it's habit-forming. i gave in to it only last night. but i'm gonna fight it, shep. -i'm not gonna let it destroy me as a person. just what did you do last night? i stopped that book from being published. no, you didn't. no, no, that was my problem. -shep, i didn't say that i stopped you from publishing it. i stopped anyone from publishing it. just how did you do that? i... you'll say it's absurd. -i put on a spell. i used pyewacket. you mean you spoke to the cat about it? you sent him around to the publishers and had him talk them out of it? is pyewacket a witch too? -all right, don't believe it. don't believe i brought redlitch to you. and don't believe that oh. oh, just a second. -let's get our stories straight. nicky says that he brought redlitch. he's lying, 'cause i did. with luminous paint, i suppose. yes. -what about your telephone? who do you think put it out of order? providence! no! who? -oh, never mind! gil, for pete's sake, why would anyone want to put my telephone out of order? as a prank, a trick. like turning all the traffic lights on 57th street green. that's what nicky uses it for. -that and his love life. his love life? gee, that's kind of useful, isn't it? i don't know what this is all about. i certainly don't know anything about nicky's love life, but as far as the lights on 57th street... and redlitch and my telephone- they're coincidences. -oh, yes, shep, they look like coincidence. there's always a rational explanation if you want it. well, i'll take the rational explanation. yes. yes, just as you took the rational explanation of us. -yeah. yeah. what was that? there. i've said it. -you mean that was- yes. yes, that was. oh, now wait a minute. oh, shep. what did happen early christmas morning? -was that rational? why not? what happened after nicky and queenie left exactly? well, you asked me to have a drink. sol sat down and i started to talk about merle. -yes. and then i suddenly realized i must be allergic to that cat of yours. that's right. go on. well, i went over. -i picked up my hat and coat and... and then i seemed to see you for the first time. you left something out. what was i doing? you weren't doing anything. -you were just sitting there humming to the cat. what made you kiss me? the same thing that makes me want to kiss you right now. gil, gil, now, i believe you. i don't know why you want me to believe you, but i believe you. -i believe you cast a spell on me, an absolutely wonderful spell. and i believe it, and i'm crazy about you. all right, shep. if you don't believe it, you don't. i've tried. -i've tried my best. i have tried my very best. it's not possible. but then i i've never seen her blush. would she float? -oh, stop! no, not you. you keep going. oh, mr. henderson. oh, mr. henderson, i'm so thrilled about it all. -you and gillian. thank you. good evening. i bumped into nicky this afternoon, and he's told me everything. to think that gil's willing to tell you all about herself. -i do hope you appreciate it, because that's a very dangerous thing to do. and it's so lovely that you and gil are getting married. marriage, and to an outsider. you know, that may be totally unprecedented. i'm dining with mrs. de passe tomorrow night, and i must discuss it with her. -she's sure to know if it ever happened to one of us. what? whether it has or not, shep i can call you shep, can't i? now, wait a minute. -and you must call me auntie. hey, let me get this straight. you mean you think you're one too? why, yes, shep. how else could i get into your apartment when the door was locked? -yeah. very true. ah! all right. there. -that door's locked. let's watch you open it. no, i mustn't. i've been forbidden. you see, i took the oath. -you took the oath. gillian made me. sure she did. you know, gil is the gifted one. but then she began so much earlier than most. -so did nicky. i came into it late, but they were just babies when they started. went to children's séances, i suppose. baby witch parties. oh, yes. -we lived in massachusetts. i see. miss holroyd, you don't really think that gil has any powers, do you? why, i know she has. she's done some wonderful things. -oh, no, it's my friend. those thunderstorms, for instance. what thunderstorm? the ones that made your miss kittridge so sick at college. gil made them happen, but she had to do it to settle accounts with her. -just as she had to do what she did about you. i must go. but wh... what did she do about me? oh, my. -didn't she mention about the spell? yes, i got that. well, then, otherwise you would have gone and married miss kittridge. you mean that gil went after me out of spite against merle? no, not altogether. -she found you very attractive. she liked me? she liked you. oh, that's a great deal for us, shep. it's not as if we could fall in love. -love is quite impossible. not hot blood though. hot blood is allowed. but, of course, you know all about that. miss holroyd, i don't think we had better go on with this. -i've been too bold, haven't i? i hope she likes it. i'm sure she will. good-bye. good-bye. -thank you. i gather queenie's been talking. yes, she has. yes, she certainly has. it seems you omitted a few high spots this afternoon, didn't you? -you didn't tell me all about yourself and merle kittridge at college, did you? you didn't tell me that you went after me deliberately just to spite her, did you? i didn't, not to spite her. but you did. you went after me. -yes. because i wanted you. why? because you were in love with me? how could i be? -shep, i'd just met you. are you in love with me now? i'm more in love with you than i have ever been with anyone. that's an evasion! i tried to tell you how it was with me, shep. -i tried to tell you how it started with us. i tried to tell you that getting things that way was no good, and it was you that made me resolve to be through with it. i tried to tell you this afternoon, but you yeah. well, i did, but you found it so dreadfully funny! -oh, now, don't tell me you're getting angry? i am not angry. i'm sorry. how do you think i feel- to suddenly find out that you haven't been there the whole time, and it's all been a sort of a merry, little adventure? now don't pretend to cry, because you can't do that either! -so now you believe it? of course i don't believe it! not one single, stupid word of it! shep... i'm getting out of here, out of this building. -and don't think i'm ever coming back, because i'm not coming back! ever! you will. you have to. oh, you mean the spell? -we'll see about the spell! taxi! taxi! lam- fascinating, boy. -fascinating. i hope i can watch. you're a fool! who's a fool? you're a fool! -hello, bianca. good evening, nicholas. good evening, gentlemen. mrs. de passe. i assume this is the one you phoned me about. -oh, no, i'm all right. no, this is sidney redlitch, bianca. why, certainly. oh, i'm an admirer of yours. oh, this is indeed an honour. -the honour is mine. bianca, this-this is mr. henderson. he's the one. how do you do? nicholas has explained your condition. -it's too bad. too bad. can you help me? i can but try. please, step in. -huh? go in, go in. no, no. no, i'm sorry. it's quite impossible. -well well, we'll wait in the cab, shep. no, no, no. better just carry on. these matters often take considerable time. -good luck, shep. good-bye, shep. hey... thank you. uh -oh! who's a fool? you're a fool! be quiet, sybil. ah, dear gillian. -only an amateur, of course, but very effective now and then. do you know what she used? "used"? heart of toad, white vinegar, swallows liver? she used a cat. -cat? that's right. you must wear this. put it on. can we get on with it, please? -patience. i conjure thee to remove all chains and break all bonds which bind thee. drink it. drink it? i will do no such thing! -drink it! drink it! quickly, while it has strength. oh- drink it! drink it! -all of it. you're a fool! who's a fool? you're a fool! so cheapening- you taking him to see her. -he's too good for that sort of thing. oh, come now, gil. just because you and bianca are rivals. we are not rivals. a third-rate, vulgar, self-advertising, mail-order sorceress. -ooh. just the same, you should never have told him, and you know it. you know what it says on love potions- "shake well, but don't tell." that's what happens to people like us. we forfeit everything and... and we end up in a little world of separateness from everyone. -say, if you don't mind, i'd like to see miss holroyd for a few moments. shep, ol' boy? oh, nicky, will you, please? yeah, how are you? huh? -yeah. oh, you're fine. yeah. what? you... -i heard about last night, shep. oh... what did you go there for? for the hair of the dog that bit me. that's why. -listen, i don't want to be here, and i wouldn't be, except that old bag said that the treatment wouldn't be complete until i confronted you. well, nice of her to make that a condition. oh, and she told me to tell you that, in case you have anything further in mind, she's fixed it so you can't undo this one. yes, and just how did she do that? well, she said it was something she put in that disgusting mess she made me drink. -ew. i've never been so humiliated in all my life, to say nothing of the money it cost me. what did she charge? a thousand dollars! what? -a thousand at least she was willing to take a check. she also pointed out to me that, if we'd gotten married, it would cost a lot more than that to get divorced. well, that's a pretty comparison. yeah, but it's a good one. -a pretty good one. not bad, pretty good. and now, if you'll forgive me, i think i'll be going. "believe me, i've had my fill of this "bell, book and candle" set. it really wasn't necessary for you to move, shep. -oh, yes, it was. of course, i may have a little trouble subletting. this isn't the kind of a house that i could wholeheartedly recommend to anybody. good day. you mean good-bye? -that's right. i'll never see you again? well, i can't see what for. i suppose you'll go back to merle. perhaps, if she'll have me. -oh, i forgot. i'm going to a hotel, so i won't be needing this. but maybe you might, in case you ever get sick of the primitive art business. have broom, will travel. so, a trip to the brooklyn harpy, a visit to me, a final moronic joke and away we go. -it's that easy, is it? go back to merle kittridge? you'll not if i have anything to say about it! perhaps you're defrosted, but i haven't even begun with her! gillian, i... -let's see, what would be fancy enough? i'll transport her. before i'm through with her, she'll see more geography than marco polo! gillian, what and you needn't try to chase after her, 'cause before she leaves, i'll -i'll infatuate her. i'll make her fall for someone- the first stranger that walks in on her! the mail man, the plumber, the window washer! pyewacket! u h-oh. -pyewacket! holy smoke. pyewacket, where are you? pyewacket! pyewacket! -pyewacket, where are you? pye. pye! i know how it sounds. i'm under a spell. -i'm enchanted. sure, it's inconceivable, but it's a fact. i tell you there are such things, and they're right here in new york. there are?

( mysterious theme playing ) she sure is, tic. hiya, gloria. -mmm-mwah! it's beginning to shape up pretty good. that colt's improving every day. tic... tic, now, don't get all upset. -i want to talk to you about something. it's about the pacific derby. well, what about it? well, it- it's such a long shot for us to win. -that's what i've been talking about. bright magic had a sensational work this morning. he's got a great chance to win. how many horses in the last year have had a great chance to win, and didn't? oh, tic, i'm so tired of always being broke, so tired of never having anything for us. -how can i convince you that it will be different, gloria? if bright magic wins the derby-- you can convince me, tic... if bright magic loses the derby. if he loses the derby? but how? -if he loses? you want me to pull the horse? it's so much simpler to lose a race than to win it, tic. i can get us $10,000 in cash. you haven't thought it all out, gloria. -this is my comeback. a win like this will give the trainers confidence in me again, and... who gave you this proposition? mm, somebody. is it that tout, johnny starr? -i thought i saw him on the rail this morning. no. there's no other way out. it's got to be this way. what way? -that i become dishonest, that i become a thief? you're putting terrible names on it. all i'm asking you to do is to run into a blind switch or get left at the gate. ( tearfully ): it's got to be like that. -got to? i mean, i can't go on like this anymore. you mean we can't go on like this anymore. you'll.. you'll want a divorce? -yes. is there another guy, gloria? of course there isn't. you know there isn't. i-i-i kind of thought, a few times lately-- -of course there's nobody else. i've told you all about it. i've tried to explain it to you. oh, i'm sorry, tic. you'll just have to make up your mind. -either you throw this race, or i'll get a divorce. ( somber theme playing ) is it understood, mr. mason, i'm paying you $100 for ten minutes time? i want your advice. -i'm not saying i'll take it, and i'm not saying that i won't. it's understood, mr. barton. this is strictly private and confidential, isn't it? oh, i'm mr. mason's strictly private and confidential secretary. as a jockey, i run across it every once in a while: -some sharpie trying to put in a fix. someone's approached you to fix a race? someone's approached my wife. i see. who? -i don't know. that is... i don't know for sure. i think his name is johnny starr. johnny starr. -now, you must understand, mr. mason... well, my wife is a beautiful woman. but like most women, she needs security. you can't blame her for that. she needs to feel safe and needed. -your wife wants you to throw the race? she's upset. she doesn't really mean it. but now she says... if i don't throw the pacific derby on saturday, she'll leave me. divorce? -i don't handle divorce cases, mr. barton. i love my wife, mr. mason. i don't want to lose her, and i don't want to throw that race. first things first. a crime has been committed, an attempt to fix the race. -my advice would be to turn the matter over to the proper authorities. then that would be the end of it. i wouldn't have any choice left. if i decided that i wanted gloria more than-- i've never thrown a race, mr. mason. -i've never done a crooked thing in my life. if you had, you wouldn't be wrestling with yourself now. if... if i... decide not to throw the race... and gloria still wants a divorce... will you help me, mr. mason? yes, i will. -thanks. i'll think it over. ( door closes ) maybe we can supply mr. barton with an ounce of prevention, della. get ahold of paul. -see what he can dig up on johnny starr. ( mysterious theme playing ) hi, eddie. hello, tic. you should be sleeping the night before. -yeah. it was lonesome at home. my wife's out someplace. yeah, i know. how do you know? -she left a message for you, tic. she said if you had anything to tell her, you could reach her at webster-1-2499. where's that? whose number is that? i don't know, tic. -if i thought someone was trying to take gloria away from me, i'd... i'd- i'd kill 'em, eddie. did you ever feel like that? like you could kill someone? -( phone rings ) hello. hello. who--? who is this? -johnny starr. who's this? barton? hello? hello? -( playful knocking on door ) good morning, on this beautiful saturday morning. oh, so cheerful and working too, mr. drake? morning, paul. a report on john woodruff starr. -ready? just a minute. ready. well, he's not what you'd call a steady worker. his last regular employment was the united states army 1946 through '48. -he was married june 1950, divorced october 1951. arrested four times for suspected bookmaking, no convictions. married for the second time december 1953, las vegas, nevada, to a french girl. divorced again? -i don't know, we're still checking. the, uh, girl went back to france. paul, don't tell me you got all this information since yesterday? i got more. johnny starr is a two-bit gambler, and he does part-time work for a gambling syndicate. -so it's possible he might be trying to fix the derby for them on a fee basis. you know, i'll just never understand this. now, why would they want bright magic to lose? they offer odds months before a race, della. now, bright magic was 50-to-1. -they probably took a lot of good-sized bets at those odds, never figuring a horse would improve so much. now, if bright magic wins, it'll cost them a fortune. speaking of bright magic in the pacific derby, that reminds me. what's that, perry? i thought we all might go to the track today. -i'm curious to see how tic barton rides bright magic. what seats do you have? section e. it just so happens that i have three seats here, section b. well, we'll use yours. -they're better. all right. hold it. we'll use mine. box seats on the finish line. -( crowd chattering ) ...is the favorite, 8-to-5. plumber is 3-to-1, and bright magic is 7-to-1. ( over p.a. ): the horses are approaching the gate. -take it easy. take it easy, bright magic. we've got a long way to go. everything all right, allen? everything's fine. -tic seems nervous to me. can we trust him? got to. it's in his hands now. it's up to bright magic and him. -the flag is up. and they're off! it's sir plumber going to the front, hill down is second, tracer is third, then bright magic, fly away and sunburst. into the clubhouse turn, it's sir plumber in front a head, -tracer on the outside, second, two lengths, hill down is third, then fly away, bright magic on the rail, sunburst and jigger. turning into the backstretch, it's tracer now taking the lead and drawing clear by a length and a quarter. sir plumber is second, two-and-a-half lengths, -hill down third by two, bright magic fourth, fly away and sunburst. bright magic's moving up, perry. turning for home, and here comes bright magic and fly away. fly away on the outside, but it's tracer in front a head. -bright magic by a half-length, and fly away on the outside. into the stretch, it's fly away on the outside by a half-length, tracer second a half-length, and bright magic on the rail looking for racing room. it's fly away, tracer and bright magic. fly away, tracer and bright magic. -at the 16th pole, it's fly away by a head, and now bright magic is moving up to challenge him. all right, tic. go through, go through! and now fly away is pulling away, and here comes sunburst. down the wire, with fly away in front and sunburst outside. -and at the wire it's fly away winning. sunburst is second a length, bright magic is third, and tracer is fourth. bright magic lost. so, what happened, barton? bright magic never quit before. -the colt acted sluggish. he didn't move when i asked him to. well, you're moving. you'll never ride for me again, you're through! you deliberately pulled it! -the colt didn't have it, mr. bannion. he backed up. "fuck that shit," he said. usually happens when we touch on a nerve. he was distressed about this young man's death in the garbage compactor. -see, he didn't say garbage compactor, did he? see? what do you believe? you know his job. he reports to a strip club. -who knows how he spends his days? i'm sorry. i'm just frustrated. tony has been out of sorts for so long and there's nothing i can do to help. i think coming to therapy with him has stirred feelings in you that you would like to address. -oh, please. i'm just emotional today. i would like to help you, but as you pointed out, your husband's my patient. i am not the one who needs mental help. i just needed to vent. -in case you change your mind here's the number of a colleague in livingston. he was a teacher of mine. that really won't be necessary, but thank you anyway. thank you for your time. you took these yourself? -that's a village i lived in. you could send them in to national geographic. so i got back your complete surgical pathology and op reports. i feel 100%. that's good. -it's possible though that there may be some malignant cells we didn't get. when we operate we have to decide how much healthy tissue to cut around the tumor. the margins weren't wide enough. we took a small sampling of the tumor. when we got back the complete results, it showed nodal involvement. -don't blame yourself, doc. what do we do next? it's called amended surgery. oh, jesus. cut me again? -mrs. brody is here. don't let me keep you. i am kind of backed up. let's schedule you for tuesday at 6. we can admit and prep you monday. -any questions? when can he eat regular food again? i'd guess two weeks. let's fill out the consent forms. one less thing you have to deal with. -take all the time you need. you say sign, i sign. tell me to crap on the queen mary an hour later, they're hosing it down. i owe you everything. how do i know what nodal involvement is? -didn't you listen? a whole issue of u. s. news on seniors and health. "take somebody to the doctor's," it said. somebody to ask questions. you ask one dumb fucking question about my diet. -angie? carmela, hi. what a surprise. i didn't know you shopped over here. they're running a special on lams. -every penny counts. how are you doing, angie, with pussy gone? i tell you, shopping for one is no picnic. why don't you come for dinner? it's just me and tony. -who knows? maybe we'll get lucky and tony won't show. that's cocoa's worst time of the day. that dog is not a substitute. that french poodle is all i got left of sal. -he disappears one day and i get a sick dog. the vet says to put her down, but i want another operation. with sal, there was nothing too good for that dog. but where am i gonna come up with $ 1200? tony helps out and i am so grateful. -it covers the basics. but anything extra, there's no way. angie, i'm sorry. that must be so tough. anybody around here love the word "jimmy choo shoes"? -no way. oh, my gosh, they're gorgeous! or would the lady prefer something in gold? say a nice, i don't know, whatever the fuck that is. they're all yours. -they're from next season. you can't even buy them yet. what size are these? ten. ten? -that's sasquatch size. i'm a 81/2. fuck, fuck, fuck. where'd i get 10 from? yeah, where? -so now what happens? i gotta give them all back? temporarily. i'll get you 81/2s tomorrow. all of them? -you swear? more even. since you been, you know, "in," i just can't believe the stuff we get. it's so great. except for that paulie. -fuck him and the coupe de ville he rode in on. he's saying you're holding back again? like i'm gonna give that prick a full share? come here. what do you say? -i love you, baby. oh, you fucking better. you better. i do. you could've called. -now everything's cold. that's why they invented microwaves. for inconsiderate husbands. since we're alone, it'd be nice to have dinner together. don't bust my chops. -i got a lot on my mind. this is fucking delicious. really. is this the pecorino? right. -the hell with heating it up, it's good like this. i'm glad something brings you joy. you're amazing, your cooking. i'm having lunch with our daughter's dean. you won't be joining me? -all he wants is our money. we already shell out 40 grand a year. it's well spent. she's really learning. if she passes us by... if? -she did that when she was 14. isn't that what you want for your kids? no. i want them to be backwards and ignorant. and i'm gonna make sure of that by not going to lunch with some asshole. -fine, tony. don't go. guess who i ran into at the supermarket today? angie bonpensiero. really? -how's she doing? her dog is sick. what, that fluffy french cocoa piece of shit? what's wrong with him? her. -osteoporosis. angie needs money for an operation. take it up with pussy. if you can find the fuck, wherever the feds put him. i'd look in arizona. -stake out all the t.g.i. friday's. he loves their wings. he left angie holding the bag. and those fbi "family values" cocksuckers. they let him go without his wife. -into the program? that's right. he ratted us out. me and you. that's where he is. -i don't want to hear about him or his cunt wife. his what wife? okay, who was your oldest? easy. chuckie periccio's mother. -you had sex with beverly periccio? yeah. a whole summer's worth. okay, my turn. who was your most famous? -and bobby ditillio doesn't count. he's only famous in new jersey. you know penn and teller, the magicians? you fucked them? penn. -and i didn't fuck him, i gave him head. which one is he? the big one. they were playing ac and they're funny. he followed me into the ladies' room... -you lowlife cunt whore! get out of my sight! you fucking shitbag motherfucker! in the fucking bathroom? who is it? -the fbi. come on, dickhead, open up. paulie, it's 2 in the morning. it's an outrage. adriana, you there? -yeah? sorry for the intrusion. put something on and come out. you can't fucking do this! i can't? -you must have not read up on the latest rules. and put that piece away. what's all this? the berezovsky brothers jacked a shipment from milan off pier 87. nice goods. -my broad wears a size 10. patsy, pack up some of these shoes. you don't mind if i take my taste now? he's not taking those. make yourselves comfortable. -we'll just have a look around. i'll still get more shoes, right? don't know. i have to pay for them. this really sucks, christopher! -you see the shit i go through? motherfucker. what? nothing. leave it on. -it's nice. meadow? didn't you hear me knocking? i thought it was vanessa. you don't answer the door when friends knock? -they keep you from studying. my first class isn't until 2. i brought your laundry. i made ziti with the sweet sausage. oh, i'm so starved. -it reeks of cigarettes in here. are you smoking? caitlin. i hope you're taking advantage of offers here. a boy handed this to me. -"a seminar on the cia and the cultural cold war." oh, this looks interesting. it's basic, we're way past that. i'm reading barbara kingsolver. i so wish i had time for fiction. -so how is the drama queen doing anyway? fine. can we not talk about this? if you want me to leave, i will. i have an hour before my lunch with dean ross. -lunch with the dean? can we not talk about this? mom! his secretary called and invited me. come on, what about? -money, i'm sure. they probably want a donation. how corrupt. i wanted to make sure you're recovered from the noah thing. i'm worried it'll affect your grades. -you call losing a wonderful man because of dad, a "thing"? is that what happened? you kept seeing him long after that business with your father. don't drag me into whatever bullshit accommodational pretense you've got. was that last night's reading assignment? -all right. let's hear it. what's your big theory about me and daddy? no way. i'm not touching that. -fucking bitch! uncle jun, what the hell are you doing? those marshals see you coming in here? because i need being remanded to a jail hospital like i need crabs. there's no car out there. -and i came up through the cellar like always. where's bacala? he's supposed to help. i sent him to the drugstore for more pepto. you're getting better. -that's the important thing. you look better. if you're gonna lie, tell me there's a broad in the car. you want that, it's a phone call away. still want this? -i gotta get nutrition somehow. kennedy says eat only what i can sip through a straw. what's going on with you and ralphie cifaretto? you don't got enough on your plate? worry about your own problems. -when can you eat real food? who knows? kennedy's putting me under the knife again. back up. more surgery? -shouldn't you get a second opinion? chemo? forget it. with kennedy, it's cut, zip, over and out. he has the hands of an angel. -don't forget his name. i have to be impressed because his name's john kennedy? all the micks named their kids that after the guy got killed. i loved that man. he was older than me and now look. -how many white castles did you have? i didn't, i swear. i can smell them! let me call cusamano. he knows doctors. -he sent silvio's mother to one. it can't hurt. people come from the city see kennedy. then we won't be fighting traffic. come on, uncle jun, you know i'm right. -all right, you set it up. you come with me. to listen and ask questions. good, good. i'll let you know, all right? -all right. he thinks i need a second opinion. he doesn't like that i'm going back under the knife. maybe there's something to that. another expert. -think on this. anthony is a cunt-hair away from owning all of northern jersey. i'm that hair. maybe he has something else on his mind besides my speedy recovery. junior, all this cynicism, this can't be good for you. -you speak italian. second generation. really? ross? rosetti. -a thousand years of a proud name undone at ellis island. a paesan. not far from you. new brunswick. no, get out! -my success, i credit to the jersey public schools. where did you go to college? rutgers. i went to montclair state. good school. -your major? business administration. to meadow soprano, a valuable addition to columbia. really? absolutely. -i've talked to her professors. they say she does all her work and makes insightful contributions. i am glad to hear you say that. i was worried about her adjusting. let's not tell her. -we don't want her overconfident. she sleeps an awful lot. they all do. tony, what the hell? you know, driving over here, i was thinking about how to handle this. -been working on my anger lately, so i figure it's good if i quietly say any kind of problem you got, you come directly to me. please. leave carmela the fuck out of it. of course. then i saw the cadillac. -the money i give you, you're driving a cadillac and you want more? shot the whole plan. so remember this: you see my wife, you talk about oven cleaner. anything else, come to me. -but think twice before you do. think about your fat-fuck husband and what he did to you. him, not me. cocoa, please. cocoa, down! -hey, how are you? i'm sorry, tony. just push her away. she's all right. good girl, good girl. -she don't look sick. it comes and goes. your kids don't feel boxed in by the city? we're out all the time. felicia has us all into kayaking. -you do it together? yeah. the kids love it. they're better at it than i am. more wine? -why not? remember i said i spend half my time with student affairs? this is how i spend the other half. at lunch? development. -fancy word for fundraising. new student center. we break ground in the fall. see the marble wall by the entrance? yes. -that's where the donor names will go. everybody who donates? the wall is reserved for those whose commitment begins at $50,000. it's what we felt you'd be comfortable with. based on your generosity to the verbum dei school. -you know what we gave to verbum dei? i'm half-embarrassed to say it, but it's my job. all the information, including tax benefits, is in here. i will have to talk to my husband. fifty grand? -you gotta be kidding me. he talked a lot about meadow having the best possible experience. those jews are holding her hostage. he's italian. jews with better food. -they know from verbum we're big givers. we gave 5 grand a year. that's a long way from 50. this is college, tony. five thousand is a slap in the face. -well, let them say no. here. it's around 5 grand. run it through your household account. and that's it. -not a penny more. 5-fu with cisplatin and doxorubicin. this is what i would recommend. are you getting this? sort of. -so the chemotherapy would be instead of the surgery? i can't guarantee it. we'll evaluate the results. i could end up having the chemo, puking my guts out having the six hairs i have left fall out and still be cut. it's possible. -with kennedy, you don't get these maybes. but you gotta have surgery. kennedy's a great surgeon. can't you people agree? sure. -convene a tumor board. what's that? a meeting of the chief of oncology, pathologists and specialists who work together to reach a consensus. then you hear what they have to say. your uncle will not be present. -they'll pass their decision to you. what you do is still your decision. and kennedy will be there? no surgeon would miss it. not much to him, if you ask me. -oh, you mean he's not kennedy? you make life and death decisions because of a man's name? it's only sloan-fucking-kettering, best cancer hospital in the world. excuse me. let me ask you something about this jfk worship of yours. -what about hoffa and the teamsters? that was the brother. dr. krakower? hi. thanks for calling me back. -i was referred by a dr. melfi. yes, i would. anytime that's good for you. that's great. that's fine. -grove avenue, right. i gotta go. bye. who was that? the paving guy. -i'm thinking of having the driveway redone. you smoking? what is this, the third degree? this says "with pulp." you like it with pulp. -not this much. i like the one that says "some pulp." what the fuck was that for? i'll write you up a list. hi. -oh, honey, i missed you so much! this is the longest we have ever been away from each other. did you miss me? sure. did somebody drop this? -well? how was it? good. they had playstation 2 in the hotel room. and? -that was the total of your trip to the nation's capital? i guess. i'm sorry. the orange juice is fine. whatever kind is fine. -fuck the orange juice. i give up. what then? the money you give to angie and other widows you've got on your payroll... it's a business expense! -but there's not enough to make sure your daughter is protected? i won't pay. i know too much about extortion. big deal, he pats you down. i could do that standing on my head. -it's everything else. he came to my apartment and embarrassed me in front of adriana. i heard he strip-searched you. i'm not kidding. he's a sick fuck. -he was sniffing her panties. what? you heard me. i don't deny that paulie can be a little quirky. he always has. -you're moving up fast. why do you think that is? because i'm your nephew? so be a big boy and suck it up. the patient: -soprano, corrado. male, caucasian, 72 years old. presented with severe weight loss and early satiety. he was scoped and a mass in the curvature of his stomach was detected. a ct scan revealed no evidence of metastasis. -kennedy was referred. he recommended gastric resection for cure. there were no surprises. i thought we had it. i was told we had clean margins. -often, too little healthy tissue is taken around the site which leaves the possibility for a false negative. you want the whole stomach? if there's a problem, we'll take it to the board. what do we do? he's high-risk. -his pressure fell below 60 for eight minutes. incision's fresh. i can do it in half the time. if we don't do surgery, we do 5-fu. which works how well? -not very. which is why we decided to go in. what do i tell mehta? mehta? sloan-kettering mehta? -your patient sought a second opinion. forget it then. i don't need that shit looking over my shoulder. i'll tell him. yes, i'll have him there. -thanks. don't sugarcoat it! if you concentrate on your breathing, it'll be easier. the girl said she'd page dr. kennedy. where is he? -twenty minutes and i'll be back. you go too easy on him. probably. hey, if my nephew cubby wasn't dead, i'd have a soft spot for him. did you sniff that girl's panties? -he told you that? fucking baby! you got to apologize. i'm not apologizing to him. you were out of line. -he's gonna marry the girl. as of the wedding day, anything that touches her pussy is off-limits. think it's all up? soon enough there'll be more where that came from. sounds like you were going at it in there. -my pain a source of entertainment? you see me laughing? brought you a milk shake from 31 flavors. it's your fault. i've been throwing up all day since i started the chemo. -oh, right. i gave you cancer. you don't know what this is like, anthony. i can't do it. kennedy was right. -what's he gotta say? i can't get him. they won't put me through. why not? i leave messages at the hospital and office. -i sent him a box of cigars. i couldn't get past reception. he didn't call? do they even tell him? the machine says for an emergency, press 6. -i press 6. still no callback 24 hours later. he must be busy. yeah, that must be it. you got his number? -three more weeks. three more fucking weeks. answering machine. what are you gonna do? these doctors, it's not like on tv. -dr. kennedy, this is tony soprano, corrado's nephew. my cell phone is 917-555-0157. call me back anytime day or night. it's important. batter up. -bye. now what? get in. you're not even married yet, you're dipping into whores. didn't cost me a quarter. -i don't pay for it. how'd you find me? better be careful. if i can do it, so can your bride-to-be. what is this? -some new rule about who i fuck? you want more shoes? no. they don't fit her. i don't know why i thought she was a size 10. -i don't know either. i'm here to tell you one thing. you go whining to the big man again about shit between us we'll have a problem, my friend. you seen these? fuck is that? -my godson got it for me. they're all over the place. we gotta bring one into the club. watch and learn, phil. watch and learn. -what are you doing? it's me, tony. corrado's nephew. you belong to this club? me? -no. i came here to see you. you'll have to call my office. you need a new secretary. you're not getting all your messages. -for you. titanium. i use one. added 10 yards to my drives. thanks, but i can't accept it. -for what you've done for my uncle. i already got one and mr. williams here, he don't play. right? stupid fucking game. what can i do with it? -what is it, jack? he'll just be a minute! i could use a little extra distance. who couldn't? my uncle's not doing so well. -bad reaction to the chemo. that happens. there's nothing that i can do. there are worse things that can happen to a person than cancer. my uncle thinks he's gonna die. -you know how old people are with their superstitions. he thinks it's because he went against you. i was his surgeon, that's all. you got a bee on your hat. show that man the respect he deserves. -answer his phone calls. cheryl, make sure mr. soprano is scheduled for... just remember it. everybody's marriage has problems. is he seeing another woman? -you can make that plural. he sees other women. i look the other way. i want to help him. do you? -moments ago you used the word "divorce." i said i was considering divorce. i may be overstepping my boundaries, but aren't you jewish? is that relevant? us catholics place a great deal of stock in the sanctity of the family. -and i'm not sure that your people... i've been married for 31 years. well, then you know how difficult it can be. he's a good man, he's a good father. you said he's a depressed criminal, prone to anger, serially unfaithful. -is that your definition of a "good man"? i thought psychiatrists weren't judgmental. patients want to be excused from their predicament because of events in their childhood. that's what psychiatry has become in america. visit any shopping mall or ethnic pride parade to witness the results. -what we say in here stays in here?

mm? they dress their meat better than we dress ourselves. you could take a lesson from that. -dead flesh with dignity. dead but with dignity. when i die, i want to be dressed by a french butcher. some people think you already have been. look, darling. -duck à i'orange with tangerine accessories. we just have crap. patsy, you don't have to smile like that. i wasn't smiling. i just shouldn't be standing next to daphne! -if she wasn't your friend, i'd get rid of her. i hardly know her. come on! one more time. get with it. -face that way. no smiling this time. one more. and turn. why don't we stop somewhere?

oh! -oh! thank god for that. it is you. what's the matter with you? you look very faint. -like the photocopier is running out of ink. like you've been roneoed and roneoed and roneoed and roneoed over and over... and this is the very last copy. i am looking into the future and it's not very pretty. why can't we have any fun? why can't we go on the wheel? -stop it! stop moaning! we're going to go to the gallery. no. and if there's a queue, we can have a nice cup of tea. -no. ah... sit in a nice garden. look who you've turned into. look who you've turned into. -come along, edwina dear. one more attraction and then it's back to the campsite. daddy will have the tea on. the flask is quite empty now. i don't like their milk. -it's not disinfectanted. like them, dear. don't let them catch your eye or they may say something to you. oh, here's your lunch. i would have had it filled, but your father had the phrasebook. -come along, dear. we are sophisticated human beings, darling. we don't need this! all right, then. i don't want to be like that. -what?

none. -for javik was a champion of peace and brotherhood. the etchings look iberian, which means javik was probably from spain and not scandinavia. precisely. you have a gift, sydney. as soon as i authenticate this sword it will be returned to it's rightful owners. -doctor newell, is this relic stolen like all the others? sydney, an american tycoon bought this sword. to him it's just a trophy. but when the children of iceland visit the museum and gaze upon this sword, they'll feel connected to javik and his ideals of... of freedom and justice. so consider this relic liberated from the confinement of one man's dream. -because relics don't belong to individuals. they belong to the people. never have i been more proud of a student than i am of you, sydney. wow. ornation pendant of the pharaoh tutankhamen. -it was created to celebrate the restoration of order to egypt after the chaos of his father, akhenaten's reign. i dreamt my whole life of finding a relic so momentous. are you going to keep this one? no, no. -just to have held it once in my lifetime is enough. it's beautiful. oh, it's more than beautiful, sydney. it's history. here, take it. -you feel the magic, sydney? the energy? sydney: sparta, 4th century bc. nigel: -athens, circa 5-50. nigel, the spartans were a military people. objects like this were part of their life. look at the glaze. it's a household utensil. -a spartan was just as likely to decorate an eating bowl as an athenian was to art a land war. you'd be correct, of course, except for the fact that in sparta by the 4th century glaze was common not only for decoration but as a mark of ownership. nigel: a practice begun by the athenians, a nation of seafaring traders nearly 200 years previous. what? -who sent this fax? there was no cover page. just a note at the bottom. meet at the field museum at noon. you recognize the relic? -sydney: yes. 20 years ago, a man i worshipped was murdered for it. sydney: oh yeah, now that was major nasty. -relax, darcy, it's just thunder. darcy: doesn't it bother you... everyone else going home for christmas and we're stuck here? my parents had to do something. i might see 'em for new years. -excellent. da viega: the relic is coming with me. newell: i won't allow it. -hey, do you hear that? what? da viega: give me the relic that. -sounds like an argument. let's check it out. no. darcy. you go. -i'll stay here. da viega: the relic is going with me. newell: i won't allow it. -won't allow it? give it to up, or i swear i'll kill you. give it up, my friend. or i swear, i will kill you. the relic is going with me. -da viega: i won't allow it. newell: you'll sell it to a private collector. da viega: oh give me the damn thing. -now you're threatening me? da viega: or i swear, i will kill you. doctor newell. sydney, run. -nigel: that was the last time you saw it? sydney: doctor newell's killer stole the pendant and it vanished. but this photograph isn't a recent one. -it was taken in 1926 at the royal museum. it was stolen from there in 1934. doctor newell found it and was going to return it to the egyptians. and the police never found the man with the scar? no. -i'll never forget his face as long as i live. sydney: it's almost noon. see anyone familiar? no. -are you okay? i was just thinking about doctor newell. sydney: wow. newell: -ornation pendant of pharaoh tutankhamun. i've dreamt my whole life of finding a relic so momentous. are you going to keep this one? no, no. just to have held it once in my lifetime is enough. -it's beautiful. here, take it. you feel the magic, sydney? the energy? doctor newell, when i grow up -i'm going to authenticate relics just like you. you flatter me, sydney. but you, you're much too adventurous. your talents would be better served as a relic hunter. like my partner who procures these treasures for me. -a relic hunter? from that moment on, a relic hunter was all i wanted to be. darcy: sydney? -darcy? it's been a long time. it's really good to see you. darcy loewel, nigel bailey, my teaching assistant. -hello. hello. you sent the fax. sorry for being so cryptic. to be honest, i wasn't sure you'd want to see me. -well, considering our last time together. i can't believe my parents are making me live with my grandmother in hawaii. they say with the killer still on the loose, i'll be safer there. what did you tell the police? -nothing. i was up here the whole time and i didn't see anything. sydney: dumb cops aren't going to find scar-face, 'cause they think he and doctor newell were stealing relics. i'm going to find him and i'm going to kill him. -this is all your fault. if you hadn't gone sneaking around last night, maybe doctor newell would be alive. you're always doing stuff that gets us into trouble. darcy... -i hate you. maybe i should... it's alright. darcy: i run a small auction house in san francisco, -we sell antique objects and artifacts. i work with relics too, only i spend my days in an office. seems like you aren't the only one he inspired. it's resurfaced after all these years. -why now? each quarter, interpol sends out a bulletin on stolen works of art. the pendant was listed in the latest quarter. and when i contacted interpol, they confirmed a rumour that it's going to be sold in izmir, turkey. sydney, doctor newell's murder changed both our lives forever. -you know, finding the relic might be a way to track down his killer. darcy: sydney, please understand, i was afraid and lonely. i was losing my best friend. -sydney: after i got home, i tried writing you. i tried calling the school... nothing. i never heard from you, darcy. -doctor newell's murder was traumatic for me too. i kept this. when i got the bulletin from interpol, i realized i had to contact you. do you think the scar-faced man still has the pendant? -i don't know. and i wouldn't know where to begin looking. but i know you do. i'll drop off my car and meet you at the airport. { advertisement } -well, i rather liked boarding school. i did not. i was often beaten, lived in perpetual fear of the headmistress. at least it was a break from my insufferable brother. -do you have any siblings? no. but i always wanted a sister. is sydney always this quiet when she travels? darcy: -sydney, we're supposed to be at field hockey. we can play sports any day. how often do you get to see incan relics from ancient peru? we could get a detention. -these relics are from people who lived 500 years ago. i'm going back. darcy? sydney, you should be on the playing field. it's just for a minute. -are these the incan relics? i told darcy... oh, sorry. sydney, i'd like you to meet my associate, mr. da viega. it's a pleasure to meet you, sydney. -oh wow, you're the man who gets all the relics for doctor newell? i beg your pardon? sydney, maybe you could come back later. mr. da viega and i have some business we have to finish. oh, okay. -newell: sydney, why don't you come back after the study hall? i'll... i'll show you the mantle of king -machicuchi himself. thanks doctor newell. bye, mr. da viega. first stop is a contact of mine, ramez suda. if tutankhamun's pendant is in turkey, he'll know. -you have an address on him? well, he frequents a certain relic hunter bar. relic hunter bar? it might be a little eclectic. eclectic. -there's ramez. he writes everything in that little book of his. wait here. he doesn't like crowds. try not to make eye contact. -you write in there how i beat you to the orb of gustav that time? sydney fox. a name full of possibilities. a story yet to be written. you talk a good game, ramez, -for a guy with a very small pencil. what do you think of her? delightful. bravo. well done. -she's a hag with two left feet. she is my sister. no, no, no, no, no. a thousand lire on cossack. who will take the bets? -yes my friends? you are a very smart man. this is a winning wager, my friend. yes. i assume you have not come to izmir simply to mock me. -tutankhamun's pendant. who's selling it? oh sydney, with you it's always business, business, business. you must learn to make time for pleasure. man: -no more bets, alright. there is a fight. you. me? lovely lady, you will hold the money. -does this count as eye contact? he swore me to secrecy under a threat of death. his name is tefic. that's it? tefic? -that's all i know. i swear. i do not even know what he looks like. alright. tefic is selling the pendant tomorrow night. -sorry. you alright? yeah. who's the buyer? trust me, -if you value your life you will not ask me again. alright. but never say you weren't warned. the gurel nataz. the gurel nataz? -that ancient order of thieves is a myth. i assure you they exist. and they have eyes everywhere. you're going to be there. sydney. -no, no, no i have worked many years to be invited into their inner circle. i refuse to reveal their location. darcy: sydney, help. wow, she's good. -yeah. okay, just tell me where the deal's going down. ramez? nigel, it's scar-face. we couldn't have lost him. -darcy. darcy. { advertisement } darcy. darcy. -hey, get off my truck. man: not again. hey. don't worry, we're relic hunters. -you okay? yeah. sorry, i was too afraid to run after him. sydney: doesn't seem possible but scar-face is here in izmir. -i know, i can't believe it. obviously to sell the pendant, as interpol predicted. why would he kill ramez? unless he's tefic. who's tefic? -according to ramez, tefic was selling the pendant to the gurel nataz. who are the gurel nataz? they're an 11th century fraternity. wealthy traders and thieves who dealt in treasures stolen from churches and palaces. -the seljuk turk emperor condemned them to death in absentia. they operate in total secrecy. and kill anyone who gets too close. sydney: you should keep your door locked. -i will. you're coming with me. we're going to pay a little visit to ramez. but sydney, he's dead. sydney: -ramez suda kept his little notebook like a journal. he wrote every detail of his life in it. we find his body, just maybe we'll find the gurel nataz. sydney, i can't do this. -you do this sort of thing all the time. no, not this sort of thing. this sort of thing. what sort of thing? the dead body sort of thing. -fine, wait out here. alone? here, hop on. what the... no, no. -stay. i'm alive. i'm not dead at all, this has all been some terrible mistake. sorry, ramez. -come on. sydney: it's written in code. any word on tefic? still working on it. -interpol? yes, may i speak with kate hemphill please? nigel bailey. upside down and backwards. sydney: -ramez was using leonardo da vinci's codex. it doesn't look like there's any mention of the gurel nataz. and tefic's only mentioned by name. ramez was going to take the overnight train to rajakaniz. nigel: -thanks, kate. what? the local police have never heard of tefic. so i just called kate hemphill at interpol. i asked her about tefic and mentioned the notice that darcy received. -kate said interpol never issued such a notice. darcy: get out of here now, please. please go. just go. -get away from her. murderer. i never killed alistair newell. you shot him. i saw you. -no. stop, sydney. get away from my daughter. i never killed that man. he's my father. -{ advertisement } my name is cyrus loewel. i was the relic hunter. he's telling the truth, sydney. please. -darcy: that night, i came downstairs after you. let's check it out. no. -darcy. you go. i'll stay here. darcy: after you left, i got scared. -i was afraid up there alone. sydney, wait. newell: i won't allow it. darcy: -i could still hear the men arguing. darcy: you were already downstairs by the time i caught up with you. newell: and sell it to a private collector? -da viega: oh, give me the damn pendant, newell. darcy: i could see you watching the men. newell: -now you're threatening me? da viega: give it up, my friend. or i swear i will kill you. darcy: -then the book fell. it wasn't your fault. sydney: doctor newell. sydney, run. -darcy: i heard doctor newell tell you to run. darcy: i don't know what made me walk over and open that door. darcy: -daddy? what are you doing here? it's okay, baby. it's okay. it's okay. -daddy didn't do this thing. loewel: it's alright now, listen to me. you go back to your dorm, okay? you have to keep this our secret. -but daddy... shhh. a secret amongst pals, right pumpkin? loewel: you go, okay? -go. go. if you didn't kill doctor newell, then who? there was someone else in the office that night. -sydney: but doctor newell was talking to you. loewel: no, i was standing beside him. the other man was behind -the door, facing newell and me. the constable said that he was shot from the front. you were both standing in front of him? nigel: if what you're saying is true, who was the 3rd man? -a benefactor gave us leads on relics. newell always kept his identity secret from me. but that night i came in and i surprised both of them while they were arguing. you have to understand, newell was my partner. you were the relic hunter? -i never told you what my father did because at the time i didn't understand. i was ashamed that he stole relics for a living. but if you were the relic hunter... then who's da viega? darcy: -who? sydney: da viega. sydney, i'd like you to meet my associate, mr. da viega. it's a pleasure to meet you, sydney. -oh, wow, you're the man who gets all the relics for doctor newell? i beg your pardon? loewel: wait a second, -i was the one who brought in those incan relics. what did this da viega look like? it was 20 years ago. he was tall, fair-haired, british. it's a pleasure to meet you, sydney. -loewel: that could very well describe the man who shot alistair newell. da viega: give me the damn pendant, newell. please, don't make me do something that we'll both regret. -loewel: the murderer was standing in the corner by a lamp. now you're threatening me. da viega: give it up, my friend. -sydney: his reflection in the picture frame. loewel: loewel: sydney. -it was him. if you were so innocent, why not go to the police? because newell and i were partners. i had his blood all over my hands. -my prints all over that gun. besides, there was a young girl who could place me at that scene. why the phoney interpol story? i didn't think you'd believe the truth. i am so sorry. -loewel: look, sydney, if you're going to blame someone, blame me. please, help my father clear his name. are you alright? yeah. -do you still want to go to rajakaniz? syd, you weren't going to kill him, were you? are you so sure i wasn't? every night for years i saw that man's face in my nightmares. -and now you're going to help him. sydney, rajakaniz isn't exactly a small town. we can't exactly get off the train and ask the police where the gurel nataz are meeting. -syd, one car down, i just spotted a man from that relic hunter bar in izmir. coincidence? no, that place only caters to people in the business. nigel: excuse me, have we met? -nothing to see here, folks, just a lover's tiff. sydney: where do the gurel nataz meet? man: -gurel nataz. never heard of them. please, they will kill me. they meet in a necropolis underneath the city. are you sure? -there is no necropolis under rajakaniz, vlade. man: there is, there is. the gurel nataz discovered an ancient city beneath and excavated it themselves. where? sydney: -where? man: i'll tell you. darcy: where are we going? -nigel: dinner party just outside of town. sydney borrowed vlade's invitation. nigel: this necropolis must be down there. -yeah, i'm gonna go in alone. syd, you're not exactly properly attired. speaker: the brotherhood of the gurel nataz is assembled. we meet in darkness, bound by silence, shielded from light. -we are one. we are many. let it begin. man: who offers this relic for bidding? -da viega: i, tefic, offer it. man: the price has been established. da viega: -the price will be broken. for i have discovered... this extraordinary piece. found only recently in luxor, it completes tutankhamun's pendant. -da viega. legend has it... that by combining the order of horus... with the chaos of set, tutankhamun was to derive true immortality. were you up there? -no, not i. come, quickly. darcy: what could he have seen? loewel: -i don't know. nigel: i've got to warn syd. don't you think, therefore my friends, that this piece is absolutely priceless. man: -there is an intruder among us. da viega, you killed alistair newell. nigel: get yourselves out of here. -da viega: so... it appears that alistair newell's little student isn't so naive after all. you fed him tips, hoping one day he and cyrus would land a priceless relic. then when he wouldn't hand over the pendant, -you killed him. he was a sentimental old fool. see, he only understood relics for their history, not for their price. i will hunt you down. { advertisement } -interpol just issued an arrest warrant for da viega, alias tefic. so my father's been cleared. you can stop running now. loewel: -sydney... thank you. and you too. i'll meet you outside. darcy: -okay. i don't even know where to begin. how about by staying in touch this time? deal. bye. -bye. bye. bye. thinking about old times? actually, i was thinking that -da viega's still out there. what do you want to do with this? karen, book me on a plane to cairo, please. sure. i have a delivery to make to the national museum there. -you're returning it to the people of egypt. just like alistair newell wanted. subtitle by: kiasuseven hey, audrey. -who's a good girl?

i was just thinking today -that if this were just a couple of years ago, i would have been really worried to leave you alone for days at a time. did you know that? i was always so afraid that you'd get yourself into trouble. -i mean, you know how you were. it was hard to relax. here you go, sweetie. ok. there's a security in feeling that the worst has happened. -makes me feel like nobody would hurt us. you know, i have this image sometimes that someone breaks in and they try to rob us, and they see your light on under your door, and i say don't go in there, there's nothing for you in there, -but they don't listen and they come in, and they see you lying here, and they leave. they just drop their bags and walk out the door. they don't even want our things. -they don't want anything that we've touched, because, i mean, you know how people are. they think that misfortune is contagious. maybe i shouldn't have told you all that. but, you know, i don't think of it as a bad thing. -when i look at it that way, i see you as our protector. good night. good night. paul. paul. -i brought you a water and a beer. i didn't know which one you'd like. i feel so stupid. i don't even know you. i am so sorry. -well, i saw you crying as you were walking down the street. so, uh, i knew what i was getting into when i invited you in. my husband is moving out. -i'm just- i'm sorry that he's making you feel like this. it sucks how mean people can be to each other sometimes. jim?

'cause it's my fucking car. no one else is complaining. -you know you should listen to this stuff. learn a little something about helping your mom win a car for you. hey, mrs. gold. -hey, tina. ok, you guys. order whatever you want. i love coming here, 'cause you can get whatever you want, -and tina will fix it for you. susan?

-is it cancer? prostate? you know you can tell me, you know, because... i've gone through it. -what? with jim? yes. oh! no. -there was a bomb threat at the law firm. a bomb threat? in the city? oh, my god. can you talk about it or... -i can. but i think what maybe i should do is run and call the office and... see if there's any new news. you go. -go on. listen, and let us know. quite exciting. doll: ooh, ooh, that smarts. ? -if i ever see your face again...? hello, may i have a double vodka martini, please? sure thing. annette: looking for courage? -ha. uh, yeah, yeah. yes i am. stop it. mom! -guys, cut it out. emily, let her go. she's mine. you let her go. emily, let her go! -no. emily, let her go! make me. unh! mom. -jake. jill, excuse me. what's gotten into you?

what are you talking about? the strangling and the throwing. -she was really hurting you, and i had to make her stop. yeah, but you could have offered her a slice of bacon... a piece of pancake and some waffle or something. -i wasn't thinking straight. and she was really chomping away there. indeed, but you're sure it's not 'cause you were doing it all night long at your so-called sleepover? -not even close. so you squashed emily's foot just for me? yeah. oh, you're the best boyfriend ever! give me sugar. -tani, no, i can't. people are gonna think it's weird. i want sugar. not right now. sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar. -later, when we get home, ok? come on. i baby-sit that kid. man, i should have never shown him my boobs. well, you know, it's not like he really saw them. -i mean, you had a bra on. you needed the money. oh, man, i ate way too much. oh, god, i've been eating all day. i've gotta go back to work. -i need to go to the bathroom. uh, ahem... listen, i'd, uh... like to say something. i know you guys have been a little mad at me lately. -i haven't been around as much as i would like. but that's because catherine and i have been making some pretty serious decisions. and we've decided... that we're gonna get married. -and i'm gonna be your second mom. i am... i am so excited about that, girls. and your father and i... we would... we would just love it -if the two of you would stand up in our wedding. i don't want to stand. well, it wouldn't be exactly like that. i don't care. -i don't want to. well, you just have to wait until you see the dresses we have. no! we'll talk about it later, then. -jim, who were you sitting with? did you have a drink with her? what happened? forget that. go to the mall. -check out some dishwashers, because i believe ours is unfixable. oh, ok. uh, should i call you when i need a ride home? -no. i thought you could walk. get in some thinking. well... i guess we better go. -yeah. you know, mom, you don't really have to do this. if you don't want to do it, it's ok. you don't have to do it. i mean, you could get a cheaper one, -but then they don't have the sterilization setting. and you know what that means. if you or someone in your family gets sick, then you all get sick. and then you start paying out the you-know-what. -you see that blender? yeah. i'm gonna use it to make diet drinks in my room, and then i can give it to my mom for christmas. oh, my god, you're so considerate. -i'm gonna get one for my mom, too. julie: yeah, it's cheap. tina: it's really cheap. karen: oh, my god. cool. -on sale. mine totally melted. tina: oh, my god. remember that girl who burned off her eyebrows with a hair dryer? -was her name marcy? what an idiot. no, it's true. julie: man, what time is it? -oh, fuck, bobby! that was not a half hour. i'll have you home in 2 minutes. i'll have you home in 2 minutes. karen: hey, come on. -snap out of it. we could find you better at a truck stop. tina: hey, that's not funny. my mom dates a trucker. -can i help you? no. hey there, z-100 fans. only 5 minutes left till we rocks your rocks with our... -"you call it, you haul it" mega jeep contest! get your t-shirt and get your hands on this car! a man needs a purpose. the z-100 animals are gonna tear it up! hi. -name? train. jim train. t r-a-i-n. -jim train. did you call in to win? no. do you have to? sorry. -you gotta call it to haul it. i'm sure i can find another way. i'm a lawyer. if i could just glance at this participation agreement, -i'm sure i could find a loophole. these kinds of contracts are... filled with- no call, no haul. so if you plan on hauling it, -you better get in here. julie. hi. hi. what are you doing here? -well, i tried to enter the contest, but they make it impossible with all their rules and phone calls. are you in it? you have to be 21, so... -i gave them my mom's name. your mom? you can't make her do that. i can do it. i can win it. -we'll split it 50-50. no way. 70-30. i am not splitting that car with you. she'll never make it. -i'm still young. you don't know my mom. 8... 7... 6... you have to let me do it. i saw you in the store. -what store? i saw you take that blow dryer. i didn't take a blow dryer. you were there. that makes you an accessory. -let's go! julie: it's not going to change who's in it now. "you call it, you haul it" contest has begun! there will be no leaning, no falling asleep, just good, clean car touching -for hours and hours and hours. no, no, come on. i'm not paying. it's your car. i mean, come on. -bruce, i know it's my car, but basically its sole purpose is for running the kids around. come on. fine. -if you could just get your hotshot lawyer to get his finger out, we could have the court decide exactly what's my responsibility and what isn't. -they had a bomb threat. a bomb threat. that's a new one. i've gotta hand you that. ok, that's it. -oh, my god. he's coming over here. rayanne, honey... daddy's got to go. catherine: this must be hard for you. -sweetie? a little. a little. look, i really don't want to add any fuel to the fire, here. -and that's why i was waiting for bruce to leave, but... we were just wondering when it would be all right to have some movers come and take a couple of the bigger things. annette: bruce! -you can't do that to her! ok, sam, i think i can handle it. ok? get off the phone already. just to take a couple of the bigger pieces, -like the armoire. uh... the one that's from bruce's great-grandfather. catherine, please. bruce! -you're making it worse. sam, i said shut up and hang up. i gotta go. you know, sometimes i don't even know why i bother. -yeah, neither do i. sam, i didn't mean that. i'm sorry. annette: i'm sorry. catherine. -let's go. sam. sam, where are you going? sam. sam, where are you going? -come and say good-bye. can i have a hug? ok. ok. bye. -don't be out too late. can i speak to you? are you doing this on purpose? what? turning my children against me. -what did you expect, bruce? you haven't seen them in 4 months. see? that's exactly what i'm talking about. that's the kind of thing you're saying to them, isn't it? -you know, annette... you think you're not doing anything, but you're making them completely aware of time. what are you talking about? you know perfectly well what i mean. -kids don't have any sense of time. it's only adults that give them any kind of concept of it. so you're proposing... that although you haven't seen... or spoken to your children in 4 months... -they wouldn't be aware of that were it not for me reminding them of it? exactly. you're a fucking idiot! you know, you've got a great way of twisting things around -to make them seem ridiculous. i want sam to come to mexico with me and catherine tomorrow. no. she can swim, she can play. -they got a whole kids' program down there. you said yourself that she was mad that she couldn't get to go away. why aren't you asking for rayanne, bruce? you know she's got school now. -school you don't want to pay for, but you want to use as an excuse. i mean... can we just stop it? please? -annette, she doesn't even like me. you never even try, bruce. you can't have sam. no way. why don't we let her decide? -i'm sure that's not something she gets to do a lot of around here. go ahead. go on. ask her. -see what happens. see what happens. bruce: hold on a sec. sam! shit. -sam! what is that about? my own kid's running away from me like i'm a... frickin' monster! -i don't believe that. that's annette! that there... she deliberately ran. catherine: i know. -she's confused. sally: sam! randy: that was a close one, huh? i'm sorry. -i didn't mean to scare you. i was just looking for you, too, johnny. my name is not johnny. it's not meant to be. it's like... -"hey, you," but nicer. are you ready to go? go where? your mom told me to come get you. why, did something happen? -is that why he was here? i don't think so. she just said something about... needing some time alone or something. what about rayanne? -uh... yeah, i know, alone with rayanne. i should go see what's wrong. yeah... but she asked me to come get you, -so... so... tell you what. i'm gonna go get something to eat. you can come with. -that way she gets a break. she could probably use one, right? come on. come on. so what are you saying? -this contest that you're not even in is giving you a sense of purpose? i know i can help. i don't know why you're making such a big deal out of this. -all i've been doing around here is ruining things. you said so yourself. don't turn this around on me, jim. this is your decision. -what are you gonna do? you're gonna make sure that this woman wins a car and this is gonna help you feel useful and fulfilled? why is that so hard to understand? great. -you can tell your kids why you're abandoning them. i'm not abandoning anyone. sue, come on. don't. don't. -hey... did i tell you what i got for you today? a dishwasher to replace the one you broke. yeah, but this one is top of the line. it sanitizes the dishes while-while... -while it dries them. that's pretty cool, right? no flu season at the train's this year. that's great. i gotta head over to the store, -pick up a couple things. you all set? you got everything you need? don't forget to call my mom. i won't forget. -what do you think, i want to get stuck with you all night? hmm? here. order some food for your mom and your sister. -i'll be back in a couple of minutes. i'll be back in a couple of minutes. she's not here? no! where- -weren't they there? no. no. you sure you saw them leave? no. -i mean... yeah. they were pulling out when i got there. they changed their plans. they left tonight. -i swear to god, helen, he had this planned from the beginning. annette, i don't- no, i don't think he would have done that. rayanne, not now. -honey, i'm sorry. i'm sorry, sweetie. i'll go get her. he called. when? -i don't know. i was with rayanne. sally heard the message. here. your mom told me she thought you were -coming down with something. i thought you said she wasn't home. before, johnny. she told me before, when she asked me to come pick you up. -well, i'm not sick. i was just acting that way because of my dad. well, you must be a pretty good actor because she thought you were sick. i'm sure not gonna second guess her. -here. just take 4 big gulps. there you go. preventative medicine. bruce, on answering machine: -you know, this is it, annette. i've had it with you. you know... you've escalated this situation to the place it's at. and if you leave me with no other recourse -but to take my children out of your sick little world, then so be it. but i want you to know everything that happens from here on out is a direct result of your actions and not mine. -helen, this is a man i shared a home with, i had kids with. what the hell happens to love? come on, johnny, please. not again. -there... there you go, buddy. there you go. shit. shit. -don't do this to me. nobody's supposed to get hurt here. come on, buddy. come on. there you go. -there you go. here. see that? i told you you were sick. here, drink this. -it's emergen-c. it's a natural stimulant. i also have energy bars, which provide you with, uh... all the protein and carbohydrates you need, -in case you feel a little hungry. and here's a lady vitapak... which will provide all the supplements you need for an active day. esther, thinking: -how did i get here? somewhere along the way, things have gotten out of hand. i don't know how. i tried to do things right, but... -maybe that's the problem. maybe there is no right or wrong. we're ruled by chaos. that would make more sense. that there are no rewards, no punishments. -life isn't a series of results of things done right or wrong. it's all just random. those are the rules. there are no rules. -of course there's rules. if there weren't, none of us could win. who'd play if they couldn't win? hello? -look where you're at right now. esther... are you gonna play? i spy... with my little eye... -a lie. a lie. how's that shirt fit? ok? yes. -i thought it would. you puked all over yours, and i figured you wouldn't... want to sleep in it. i'll make you a big breakfast. -woman: you know what we need? we need one of those massage guys to give us massages on our necks. or someone to shampoo our hair. don't you people provide extension cords? -not that i know of. not that you know of. jim: this is ridiculous. they can't even get me an extension cord. -jim, i'm fine. you are now, but believe me, this is gonna help, because when your back seizes up, it's all over. well, then it's over. -don't talk like that. the only advantage you have is up here. fuck this. this is insane. if i want a car, i'll buy one. -like normal people. see that? whoo! yeah! you know what i love about this, esther? -no. there's a goal. your hands are on it. the rules are clear. you put in the work, and it's yours. -effort equals reward. life could learn a lot of lessons from this game. life could learn a lot of lessons from this game. emily: mom, did daddy go back to work? no. -daddy got a job working at the mall 24 hours a day. so he'll be living there now. sweetie, what's the matter? i want daddy to come home. -oh, he will. mommy was just kidding. it wasn't very funny. i'm sorry. then why did you do it? -because mommies do things like that sometimes. tani: jake, it's you. come hold me. i came as soon as i could get away. oh, uh, emily doesn't believe in waxing. -she thinks i'd make a good feminist. this is it. i'm not taking any more of emily's crap. you're coming to live with me. -really, jake? i don't have to live with emily anymore? no more. i have to start packing. oh, you're the best boyfriend ever. -you're number-ooh! jake! oh, jake. finally. finally. -did you like that? why did you do that? you never do that. what is happening to you? what is happening to you? -i don't know. well, i think you should figure it out. this is a message for sam. sam, honey, hi. it's me. -uh, i just... wanted you to know that i love you and i miss you very much. and i know your father has money, and he has you on some fancy trip in mexico, -but believe me... things are gonna get better around here, ok? now, uh, step away from the machine, because the rest of this is for your father. bruce... -i am not unreasonable. we could have worked something out. anything. i mean, something. and yes, bruce... -as you put it so eloquently, everything that happens from here on out is a direct result of your actions, not mine. grandma jennings, kiss my ass. -jake. dad! wow. shopping? a little. -you? yeah, a little. do you need anything else? do you need school supplies? clothes or pens or... -uh, pencils? mmm... no, no. mom usually gets that stuff for me. nice shirt, dad. oh, yeah, you like it, right? -here, uh... why don't you take that home and give it to your mom. and, um... uh... here, give that to emily. uh... here, give that to emily. -thanks. oh! and here. you know... in case you ever want to talk. -great. yeah, thanks, dad. bye. it's got a 3-mile range. any time. -any time. helen: yes? can i come in? wayne. there's something i wanted to tell you. -i know you can just write it in a note. can't you, and just put it on the refrigerator? guess what? i got something for you. a present? -what is it? oh, don't tell me. let me guess. a convertible? a dream home? -ta-da! oh, a piano. it's a grand. see? i sure do. -you really are in love with me. yeah. i might be a little rusty. wow. you're so talented. -i got you something else, too. i got her for emily, so you can come and live with me. her name is j.j. janie. you little home wrecker. -don't bother with the introduction, jake. i know who she is. we were born in the same town. i can't believe this is your solution. and the piano? -i suppose the guys down at the store talked you into this. jake: she likes music. chets: buy the house. he doesn't want mortgage payments. yeah, really. -he's bringing another woman home. so, i'll get her the piano, then? she's gonna love it! tani: see how much they know about us girls? jack. -jack. uh, jim? could adam and i use the tent? well, i just put it up. this is esther's sanctuary. -but, like, adam's only got 15 minutes left on his break. i could really use a nap. yeah. all right. as long as you're out -by the time esther's break comes up. thanks, man. thanks, man. you better hope mrs. gold likes her tent a little spunky. -sorry, frankie. nice try, though. ok, sue, you ready? ok. all righty. -here we go. ok, i had a farm in virginia. ok. on a chilly christmas, i crossed a river. oh! -oh, ok. i know this. it's, um, it's abe- george... george washington. yes. -yes! oh! oh, sue. oh, no. you know what, sue? -you did a good job. keep the t-shirt. we have a loser. bye, sue. jim: sue, you out? -good game. here... here's a memento. thanks. good game. -bye. yes. i i-i just wanted to sign up... for this class, -but they said that they recommend i don't take it. woman: why not? i don't know. are you 45 or older? um... -well, yes, i am... over that age, uh-huh. well, you're considered a risk. a risk? yes. -to whom? well... well, shouldn't i be the one to decide that? i don't make the rules, ma'am. i'm sorry. -well, it doesn't make any sense. i'm too old to be able to take the class, but i'm not old enough to decide that for myself. well... i mean, that doesn't make sense, does it? -ma'am, i'm sorry. i really don't know what to say. yeah, well, i know. heh. i know you don't know what to say. -heh. i know you don't know what to say. i'm sick of you. hey... johnny. -paul: hey, should we take your brother home before heading to danny's?

-'cause i really don't want to see your face for the rest of the night. i hope when i'm old i get to have sex with a young cute guy. that'd rock. -shut up, tina. shut up, tina. see what you get for not going out with me? well, it's the 50th hour, folks. and we have 5 contestants and they are going strong. -i don't know what they're running on, but i can tell you this much, it doesn't look like anybody is going to give it up anytime soon. if anything else bad happens, -you'll tell them it wasn't my fault. sam, where are you going? where are you going? i got to get out of here. did you hear me? -did you hear me? julie, did you hear me? what's happening to you? you really going to do this thing? do i get to know who that is, -or does it matter? it matters. you're a good kid. love you. what happens to love? -what does he think we were doing? just ignore him. he's stupid. susan? susan? -i don't understand you. accept it already. everyone else has. julie: mom? randy: put it in that case, johnny. -can i hang out with paul and his friends tonight? not a chance, chunks. randy's the one who invited me, so you can't tell me i can't go. -randy, what's up, man? she's your sister, man. be nice. i'm bringing my brother. mom, please. -please. well, let's put it this way. it's 11:30 and your curfew is midnight, so. paul: darn it, chunks. i'm sorry. -better luck next time, huh? bill: 20 seconds before the midnight hour. a new day. hey, come here. pick a hand, any hand. -that one. all right. open your hand. now, don't look, though. don't. -all right. guess. oh, man. it feels weird. i said don't! -i guess you can go ahead and look now. get it? we're gonna go fishing. i want to call my mom. i already called her. -no. but i need to talk to her. well, you can't. i don't have a phone. isn't that illegal? -what are you, mister law and order? just because everybody's got a phone, fax, computer, doesn't mean it's illegal not to. it doesn't mean they're smarter or better. you just start collecting things, -you start thinking you care about stuff. and then, when they're gone, when they break or someone steals them, well, you feel like a part of you is gone, too. when you have things and suddenly you don't, -it feels like you've disappeared. nothing should make you feel like that except when you lose a person. finch, peabody, singer. jim, on phone: -marilyn, hi. it's jim. jim, where are you? you haven't called my house, have you? no. -what did you tell them? that we had a bomb threat. a bomb threat? jim, what are you doing? you know what i'm doing. -i work my butt off at that firm and they give ryan a partnership and me a plaque. i'm not stupid. i can't believe they'd think i'd fall for that. you can't do this, jim. -you're going to lose your job. i thought i already did. don't they know i walked out? no. marilyn, i was trying to make a statement. -jim, these people don't care about statements. all right? you quit, they replace you. no statement. so, what are you going to do? -is that jim? how is he? let me speak to him. finally, we have esther gold, our 52-year-old professional mom. -so, esther, what do you plan to do with this machine if you win? well, first of all, bill, there's a lot more to being a mom than you think. -ok. my bad. but the car. what do you plan to do with that? i'm going to give it to my daughter julie. -whoa! i want you to be my mommy. i think. where is this lucky daughter? she's right over there. -julie? would you mind, sweetie? come over here. thanks. bill: hi. -julie: hi. how do you feel about your mom doing something like this for you? oh, it's great. it's great that she's doing this for me. -it's unbelievable. how on earth do you get somebody to do this? well, i just asked her. i mean, it's only, like, 3 or 4 days of her life. it's really not that big of a deal. -and i know it's hard, but she knows it's going to make up for a lot. it's going to make up for a lot. bill: ok. well, there you have it, listeners. -guilt is alive and well, and, if it's used properly, it may even win you a brand new, shiny z-100 s.u.v. i will not regret the things that i do. i will not regret the things that i do. -i will not regret the things that i do. well, this is my room. it's nice. i got a bunch of stuff in here from when i was little. -hey, cool. i used to have this one. go ahead. take it. i don't really need it anymore. -oh, do you like that one? bobby gave him to me. look. he flexes. look. -he flexes. oh, yeah. i got some cool games we can play. where are you going? um, i have to go. -whatever. what? if you have to go, go! what? if you have to go, go! -something happened. what? what? but we didn't do anything. it's not always like that. -do you want to see it? do you want to see it? you can touch it, if you want. it's soft. i thought it was supposed to be hard like wood. -no. i don't think so. what's going to happen to it? it'll go away. do you want to show me yours? -well, there's not so much to see. i have a hair, if you want to see that. no, no. it's ok. maybe we can hang out again sometime. -yeah. come back when it's down, if you want. ok. ok. i'll take- this is exactly what i need. -i'll take this and that. you can keep that. i already have worms. what are you doing? i -just calling my mom to say hi. i just calling my mom to say hi. any luck? i was just about to dial. -don't let me stop you. if you get through, let me talk to her. i want to ask her a question. bruce, it's me. make sure sam doesn't hear this. -i just want you to know you are really messing up your chances for custody. i am-i am this close to pressing charges. but, you know what? i don't want to deprive my children of their father. -because i love them. a lot more than i love you right now. oh, also, you don't have to bother sending over movers to pick up your antiques. goodwill was very happy to do that. -mom, where is my arnold friend tape? i don't know. oh, you know what? i put it in that stuff that went to goodwill. you're getting a little old for that, don't you think? -why do you always say that? because you're getting older. but i don't feel any different than i did before. how come i have to, all of a sudden, -like all new things? it's stupid. growing up doesn't make any sense. jim, julie, tina, karen: ok. -esther, hey, you've come this far. now you've got to win that car. sound off. esther. -let's go, esther. hi, sweetheart. ok! come on. it's pretty good, huh? -i bet you've never had fish this fresh before. what's wrong with you? you're a kid. you should be full of ideas. but you never even talk. -there's something wrong with your sister. it's probably genetic. you shouldn't say stuff like that. it doesn't seem that far from the truth or anything. -maybe there's something wrong with you. maybe that's why your mom stuck you with me. she didn't stick me with you. then what are you doing here, huh? i'm serious, though. -has anyone ever tested you? shut up. hey, don't be afraid of me. you should be afraid of yourself! you're the one with the problem! -see that? you got things to say. you're going to get lost. you all right? yeah. -you here? oh, yeah. ok. ok. yeah. -ok, ok. ok, you have 5 minutes. yeah. ok. watch your step. -bill: well, it's the 70th hour, folks, and, god or no god, esther is giving frankie a run for his money. is there something else you needed? no, no. -i'm ok. let's get you situated. ok. ok. don't go. -i want to tell you something, so don't go. ok? stay so i can tell you. hey, i'm here. last year, when paul got into his accident, -i remember the doctors. they came to us and they said that they believe paul wouldn't live until the morning. "you should prepare yourselves." that's what they said. -and i- that's what they said. and i- i mean, how do you do that? prepare? -there was a chapel in the hospital, and i went there and i stayed there for 4 days. and i prayed. i have never prayed like that in my life. -not for anyone. i didn't even know if i believed in god. i just knew someone had to help me. but this is what i want to tell you. if you are ever, ever in a praying situation with him, -be specific, include certain clauses. it's not enough to assume that if a person lives, they'll be ok. because god has a wicked sense of humor. and even though he knows you mean more, -he'll only give you exactly what you ask for. you have some time. yeah, ok. lay down for a sec. ? -... we're not so all alone? ? we're moving on to where? ? -we're not so all alone? ? we're moving on? ? moving on? -? yeah, kiss it all good-bye? ? we're going down? ? -when did it get so hard? ? we're underground...? jim: jake, are you there? it's your dad. -over. i just think we should take a minute. you know? ok. we'll have a drink and we'll talk some more. -sit down. hi. hi. do you mind if i? my girlfriend is sitting there. -you know, i could buy you a drink. she's getting us margaritas. we could talk all night, pretending we're getting to know each other, when we both know what we would end up doing -in the end anyway. i think i could give you something that you need and i think you could give me something that i need. that's a win, win situation. -so, what do you say? i think you have the wrong... all right. ok. all right. -all right. ? ... when did it get so hard? ? -we're underground? ? i always thought we'd fly? ? guess i was wrong? -you think i'm too fat to fuck, don't you? you're not fat. you're perfect. so? what's the hold up? -what's the matter, jake? you've outgrown me? you need someone more exciting, deeper, more real? am i getting warm? -i felt it. everything has to change. you can't feel anything. you're a doll. these are so cute. -i'm sorry. i don't know what's wrong with me. maybe we could go someplace new tomorrow. i'm thinking we might be in a rut. don't you? -tani? tani? oh, my god. bye. ok, jim. -you've got to get this guy. got it. come on. come on. excuse me, sir. -this card was declined. do you have another one? no. not on me. ok, then you might want -to pick this up a little bit later, right? baseball. a game where everybody knows the rules. it's so simple. -this could almost make everything better. this is for you. i want you to get in the back. ? ... 'cause i'm nowhere to be found...? -do you know this song? kind of. sing it. come on. don't be shy. -? i've been laying here beside myself for days and days? ? sleeping soundly, still awake? ? -and i know you know that we know? ? that you're alone...? hey, hand me one of those cool ones. sure. -do you want a cola or a sprite? a beer. hand me a beer. keep singing. ? -i relapse until i'm dreaming? ? of the place we used to go...? ? of the place we used to go...? -put your seatbelt on. please, put your seatbelt on. thank you. thank you. julie: guys, look at this car. -i'm going to get surround sound and we're gonna listen to my music. karen: great. ok, why do i always have to sit in the back? because that's just where you're going to end up anyway. -it's true. oh, you want a bit. come on, get off! please! man: keep it moving, please. -oh, shit! look at your mom! mom, what are you doing? what? what now? -mom, what happened? you lost! what is wrong with you? what is your problem? jim: it's a car. -it's just a car! bill: we have a winner. frankie manlow, you are going home in a mega s.u.v. karen: julie! julie, wait! -here, esther. let me help you. what an effort, esther! you really made frankie work for every part of that car. not to worry, though, dear. -you're not going home empty-handed. i have a check right here for $250. thanks for playing "you call it, you haul it." jim: you're giving her $250? she was standing there for 71 hours! -that's the contest, pal. only one winner can haul it. right, frankie? damn straight, bill! he gets a brand new car? -what is that? 30 grand? 30 grand? get your hands off my car! fuck off! -and she gets $250? i cannot believe you guys! i can't fucking believe you guys! take it easy, ok? listen. -what? he won the contest fair and square. there is nothing to be upset about. nothing? she's been standing there for 72 hours -advertising for your radio station! that's not nothing. this is not fair and square. thanks a lot z-100 listeners for tuning in... this isn't supposed to end like this. -this was not supposed to end this way. ...esther, keep your dial set to z-100. here, you want this? take it! here, you want this? -huh? here you go, bill! here you go! hey, take it easy! settle down! -security! get him out of here! not that! not that! i need that. -man: you threw it away. it's mine now. get him out of here, now! not that. i need it. -bill: play a record! this is you, jim. i'm telling you to stop! the catcher. just do it. -do it. coach: that's it, jim. you know how to play the game. wait. wait. -i don't want to play this game. the game falls apart without you. the game falls apart without you. man: you know, if i'd- if i'd known i'd have company, -i would have changed these. i don't know. i don't know. wayne: hello? it's me. -helen, where are you? are you ok? i tried calling you, but your phone's off. you really took me by surprise 'cause... wayne: helen, please, say something. -...not that many women say yes. who is that? i didn't mean it that way. whatever's happening... i thought you looked like a person who cared. -...we can get through it. i need you here. you were on the phone. i- where are you going? -home. you want me to go? randy: samantha jennings. sam: i told you i wasn't johnny. -i'm sorry. you know, um, when my mom and dad were first getting divorced, i would always pretend not to hear my dad call up to me to say good-bye. -'cause i always thought he'd stay longer if he could actually say it to me, you know? maybe it's like that for you. maybe it's like that for you. bye. -i should have done them before. i should have been here. jim. jim, give me that pail. these things don't matter. -i know that. but if you think so, too, then, why? it just happens. we forget. i forgot. -yeah. i really did. i'm sorry. oh, my god! what happened to your hand? -no. this will remind me, so i don't forget again. hi. i don't want to bother you. -i just wanted to apologize about the other day. it hasn't been good for me not to talk about the things that have happened. -and i think if i did- i think if we did- that maybe i wouldn't have done some of the things that i've done. i'm sorry. -i'll go. where'd you get that? did-did sam give you that? uh... did she? -i mean, how-how did- did-she was- she was with you. i didn't know, i swear. jesus, i didn't know. -if you did anything. anything! no. nothing. i swear. -i didn't do anything. i took her back where i got her. why would you take her? i'm so sorry. she just looked so much like him. -she just looked so much like him. i just miss him so much. it was driving me crazy. hey, i lost them both, not just paul! i know you know what i mean. -i know you know what i mean. i'm sorry. i tried. i tried. i want it out of my head! -julie: fuck. i am so grounded. bobby: you're not going to get grounded. she always grounds me. she grounds me for fucking everything. -for what? you're 2 minutes late. 15. 20 by the time we get there. you look good. oh, fuck! -oh, fuck! fuck! that was paul! sam? sam? -sam? sam? sam? sam: mom? sam! -mom, i'm back. sam! that's better, isn't it? do you remember when you told me how you couldn't make the music in your head shut off? -you told me how you could hear every lyric, every word, as if you were there. i was so afraid i'd lose you to it. afraid that you would just end up hating me because i didn't understand. -i'm sorry for being afraid. you never left. you were always here. you are the greatest kid. i have treasured every moment i've spent with you. -you're never going to tell me again, are you? i love you so much, my first boy. but i have to let you go. oh, my god. i hope you understand. -just tell me what happened that night and i'll stop. tell me you're sorry. tell me about the music. tell me about the music. shouldn't we take johnny home -before we head over to danny's? no, man. he can come with us. better than hanging at home with my folks. isn't that right? -right. johnny, pass us a couple of those cool ones, will you? you need to take your mind off things. you shouldn't let karen get to you. she's not worth it. -you should be happy with your love. you should celebrate and shit. it's true, man. you got a good woman. you little punk, huh? -? i believe that we've been locked in? ? just close your eyes and watch the show? ? -we relapse until we're dreaming? ? of the place we used to go? ? of the place we used to go? -mom, i'm so sorry. me, too. so sorry. me, too. so sorry. -hi. hi. helen: hi. how are you? helen christianson. -this is my son bobby. hi. how are you? i thought you might be able to use an easy ski nordic track. -uh, yeah. sure. hi. nice to meet you. nice to meet you. -this separates the waste for recycling. oh. wow. ok. oh, wow. -make yourselves at home. i'm annette jennings. howard. if you want it, take it. wow. -that's- thank you. don't need it anymore. don't want it. well, ok. i'll- -well, ok. i'll- i think i better get us some more burgers. linda and i would really like to thank you all for celebrating with us. -it means so much to us. this is something we've worked so hard for, and, well, let's just say you've all made it really special. welcome to the neighborhood. -thank you. god, can you believe all the stuff they got? i know. a garbage disposal. -do you like your new doll? did you see she has a piano? it's a grand, see? it's a grand, see? um, this is a song i'd like to play for you. -previously on farscape. what attacked talyn... was a retrieval squad. my name is xhalax sun. you were conceived in love. the... squad, is under the command... of senior officer xhalax sun. -my mother. my superior officers knew i visited you that night. they gave me a chance to redeem myself... by killing your father we let her live... she comes and she hunts us down again. aeryn! -you should not be the one to do this. we must not let xhalax live. you want her dead? you do it! as you wish. -go... go now, you must not witness this. what... is the matter? radiation. massive radiation... i couldn't stop it. -don't worry about me... i never felt better. and now... on farscape. i talk to the dead. i- -i can help find the dead one you seek. pay me, pay me and i can help aeryn. it's your fault aeryn's down on valldon! it's not my fault! -i'm trying to help! trying to help? she's in mourning for crichton! how are you helping her by filling her head with crazy tales about... spirit channelers? ! -it's not crazy! she wanted to get away from you-- she sees you following her! i'm following her? you're the one that's following her! me! -aeryn wants me around. she wants me to watch over her. she-- she wants me to protect her from people like you! you stupid, selfish nak-noks! aeryn has made it clear she wants nothing to do with any of us. -she wants no part of your plan to find moya can't leave her on valldon, it's dangerous. it's filled with mystics and criminals. then it's just like here. you're a mystic, and we're criminals. -but aeryn doesn't want to be here. you don't understand. i... what... is it we don't understand, slave? she... she's going to talk to crichton. -we told everyone we met on the islands, but we really met in rehab. we just didn't want anybody to know. stabler: which rehab facility? narcanon. -addiction to painkillers. we already knew the worst about each other. i would've stood by her side through anything. if she would only come clean, maybe she'd still be alive. came clean about what? -sydney was using drugs again, losing control. she had a bachelor party, and she and her friends attacked the male stripper. was it reported to the police? yeah. they were waiting for us on our doorstep when we returned from our honeymoon. -benson: how badly was this guy hurt? they raped him. that's why we were fighting. if somebody killed my wife, it was probably him. -excuse me. looking for peter smith. is this about... yeah. i'm gonna take a break. -i won't be long. so, did you find out the names of the other women who raped me? do you know a woman named sydney green? you know i do. have you been in contact with her? -have you seen her since the alleged rape? alleged? no, i haven't seen her or talked to her since she and her friends attacked me. you sure about that? i mean, i show your photo around and somebody from her building ids you, i'm not gonna be so pleasant. -listen, you're not here to help me, so what's this about? sydney green is dead. and you think i killed her? you had a reason. cops treated me like dirt. -they made fun of me, brought me to the hospital, told the nurse it was a scam. i've got reason to be angry, but i didn't kill anyone. we need an account of your movements two days ago. i was at the animal shelter until late evening. check with my supervisor. -sydney green's building has security. if he did it, how did he get in? munch: so, what's the verdict? autoerotic asphyxiation. -she tightened the rope around her neck, iike so, and using an arm to support her weight on the bed, she leaned at a slight angle. but she miscalculated, lost control and passed out. her body goes slack and acts as a counterweight. we call it gentle strangulation. that's comforting. -stabler: we sure this is an accidental death? the assistant me's convinced. he played it out and it looked good to me. we don't have a suspect. -peter's alibi panned out. no sign of a struggle. no sign of a break-in. do you want this to be a homicide? i... -i don't know, but something's off. you can always take it up with warner when she gets back from her conference, since you got so much free time. fine. officially it's closed. not quite. -we still have an open rape case. no. i already talked to cragen who already spoke with cabot, and she'd iike to see us in her office, so, yeah. stabler: was he drugged? -cabot: he doesn't need to be. was there even a weapon? none listed. happened at the bachelorette party. -mob attack isn't unheard of. cabot: did the uniforms follow up on the suspect's complaint? they asked a few questions, and then they dropped it. because they didn't buy it and neither do i. -and more importantly, neither will a jury. well, if the attack took place, i'ii make sure that they do. first male rape victim with female perps, that adds up to a iot of attention, doesn't it, counselor? i am not interested in that. he is the first man to come forward. -the statute for rape one was changed in january, detective. what about his inability to complete the act against his will? an erection is a physical response, elliot. if he was aroused, he consented. well, the iaw disagrees with you. -so interview the victim and get his statement. well, it was your predecessor who declined to prosecute. so maybe you should find out why before we chase our tails. the alleged victim, peter smith, works as a male stripper. his shtick is dressing as a motorcycle cop with a badge covering the family jewels. -one of the party guests took photos. check the file. so you decided not to prosecute because you disapprove of the victim's profession? get off the soapbox, alex. the guy claimed three women cuffed him to the bed and had a party. -the bride claimed he was a pro looking to score. did peter smith have a solicitation history? no. well, then why didn't you pursue it? i'm not wasting taxpayer money on a no-win. -he just wasn't believable. even his iive-in girlfriend wasn't buying. the defense calls her as a witness, there goes the case. so the victim reports the crime, and you just leave him twisting. if you want to jeopardize your standing on a flimsy trial, be my guest. -okay. i need your notes. done. you clear this with villani? i don't have to. -sex crimes is my purview. see you. peter and i broke up a iong time ago, and i wasn't at the party. so what can i tell you? we're just looking for some background. -that's all. you don't believe peter was raped, do you? join the club. what makes you think that he wasn't? he's a guy. -men don't get raped by women. men can be victimized. sure. when i first met peter, he was being kept by some woman 12 years older than him. she was paying for his tuition at nyu drama. -his parents are well off. why wouldn't they support him? because his father said he wasn't gonna shell out 25 grand a year for a drama degree. can't say i blame him. what do you think your ex's motive is for coming forward? -attention. peter cheated on me with a casting director to get a part in a play. he'ii do whatever it takes to get ahead. making an accusation of rape is pretty drastic, don't you think? it's not gonna be easy for him. -the tabloids will pay big money for the story. interviews on talk shows, pundit commentary on the evening news. he probably thinks it's worth it. doesn't prove anything, elliot. except maybe we should keep digging. -why? because she told you what you wanted to hear? it's not our job to judge the victims. that's up to the jury. i can give you an assessment of your rape victim, but bear in mind, i haven't examined him yet. -how did peter smith let three women get the better of him? the guy works out. he takes care of himself. and yet you tell women not to fight back. that's different. -why? because he's a man. because he's stronger. he can overpower them. men are taught differently. -you know, "oh, it hurts, but don't cry. be a man. internalize the pain." does the victim have any siblings? three sisters. -there you go. a lifetime of instruction on how to treat women. never hit a female. no manhandling. if you're angry, walk away. -yeah, but if he felt trapped, if they attacked him, it's self-defense. why not just fight back? because he had no control over the situation. his self-esteem and his pride were violated. i wouldn't be surprised if there were more male victims out there. -female rage is a growth industry. the price of equality. stabler: are you still a stripper? no. -not since the rape. i used to book birthdays and private parties. it left me free to audition during the day. benson: so you're an actor. -i gave it up. okay, so you show up in your cop outfit. why don't you just run us through what happened? i got there late. there were about 30 women or so, pretty sauced and hungry for entertainment. -i danced for them. did you have anything to eat or drink? soda. i asked the bride-to-be for my payment. she said to follow her, the checkbook was in her office. -did you feel different after that drink, you know, iike you'd been drugged? should i have been? do you need a reason why this happened to me? why i wasn't man enough to protect myself? would that make you feel better? -peter. what happened then? we get to the room, but it was dark. she made her way to the desk and turned the lamp on. it was a spare bedroom, and two other women were waiting. -did they call each other by name? no. one of them had a letter opener. she tried to stab me. the other two were pulling me back. -they cuffed me to the bedpost. i started yelling, but sydney turned the stereo on loud. then what? they yanked my pants off and tossed them. underwear, too. -i didn't want to, but my body... i can't explain it. arousal does not mean consent. and rapists use the body's response against the victims to mess with their head, to make them believe that they were asking for it. does this type of thing happen to women, too? -yeah. it happens a iot. what about the other guests? where were they? still partying, until sydney left the room. -i guess she cleared the place. did you ever say no? i yelled it. i screamed it. i even threatened to go to the police. -one cold bitch said that what i knew about the iaw wouldn't fit in the palm of her hand. pam adler was in that bedroom. which means amelia chase is probably the third member of this rape troika. i'm not so sure he's being entirely candid. he was raped, elliot. -he's an actor. he's trained to make us believe. three women at the same time, most guys would call that lucky. so we're saying that men are sex hounds and only women can feel violated? that's gender bias. -most women don't report rapes. what's his angle? we can't ask that question. wouldn't ask a female victim. we question female victims all the time. -cragen: this pans out, the press is gonna feed on this guy like carrion. and maybe that's the point. front page splash, this guy's an instant star. you think that he's doing this for the fame? -some people will do anything for it. cragen: doesn't matter. he's a complaining witness. so bring in adler and chase and do a lineup. -you can't come in here. fin: consider the market closed. i can't talk now, detectives. but if you'd iike to wait in reception... -no. no. no. no. not you, klaus. -deutsch marks are up three points. will it hold? we need you down at the precinct, miss chase. i'ii call you back, klaus. when? -now. for what reason? fin: a lineup. am i under arrest? -munch: depends on what happens. then i'm not coming with you. that's fine, but when we come back to get you, it's gonna be midday on the trading-room floor. remember, iet me do all the talking. -don't react to anything that's being said about you. put your poker face on. you got it? counselor, good afternoon. i'm due in court, so whatever it is it's just gonna have to wait. -i don't think so. what's this about? rape in the first degree. you're not serious. ask for a continuance. -if not, get bob down here to sit first chair. shall we? carolyn maddox. alexandra cabot for the people. so i've read. -people v, hightower, you lost due to shaky evidence and the inexperience of a rookie. defense counsel of record was pamela adler. i hope this isn't petulance, counselor. your main concern should be the lineup, miss maddox. -good. you didn't jump for the bait. i think you'ii make a formidable opponent. let's do it. number three. -benson: are you sure? take your time. "what i know about the iaw," remember? i'm positive, number three. -that's two for two. read miss adler her rights. looks like we're gonna be famous. see you in court. "file numbers 434, 546 and 47. -"rape in the first degree. sodomy in the first degree. "unlawful imprisonment and assault in the third." is this accurate, counselor? i wouldn't waste the court's time, your honor. -i'm not entirely sure about that, since you're trying to set a very unusual precedent. my sentiments exactly. perhaps someone's looking for ink. objection. save your strength, miss cabot. -you'ii need it. how do you plead? not guilty. not guilty. are we severing? -not at this time. any objection to recognizance? none, your honor. next case. i admit to having intimate sexual relations with the alleged victim, a venal young man who wants to be famous. -my only crime is being a confident, assertive professional with a healthy sexual appetite. if peter smith succeeds, it will only numb the public to the real plight of rape victims everywhere. by the time she's through, she'ii have victims' advocates, feminists and enlightened men burning you in effigy. thanks for the heads up. this indictment's ludicrous. -your client can spin all she wants. we both know what happened that night. the grand jury believed the victim, another jury will, too. you're making a mockery of women who are preyed on by men. they're the enemy, not my client. -i guess i just heard your closing argument. there won't be a trial. see you in chambers. you wanted to see me? alex, it's a pretty high-profile case. -you sure you haven't bitten off more than you can chew? i don't think so. but i guess since i've been summoned here you don't agree. well, i have some doubts. may i ask why? -using a male stripper in the first real test of the rape statute is not a very judicious choice. his profession is irrelevant. are you asking me to dismiss the charges? no. but i hope you won't mind if stan sits first chair. -you say that as if i had a choice. oh, come on. we'ii tag team. i just want you handling cross on the female defendants if they elect to testify. i don't want to look like rick lazio bullying hillary. -you want me to run for coffee, too, or am i just the female attorney by your side for the cameras? you're a highly skilled attorney. i have every faith in your abilities. but i'm still sitting second chair. you also have a personal history with pam adler. -people will question your motives. i lost an important case to her once. that does not mean i have an agenda. i don't like to play politics, but we can't be naive. if they find a way to use it, they will. -preemptive strike? that, and just making sure that our complaining witness is protected and represented to the best of our ability. we speak for him, so let's keep our eye on the ball. they want us to think it's a motion to dismiss. they're trying to challenge the iaw. -this is a deceptive attempt by the defense to argue constitutional law in front of you. this should only be heard in an appellate court. i intend to prove merit for dismissal. the legislature saw fit to change the iaw for political correctness. the old rape statute said that only a man can be charged with rape in the first. -that's gender bias. people v, liberta, a bias pointed out by a wife-raping convict trying to get out on appeal. mr. liberta did not win that appeal and the only thing the brief accomplished was to force the legislature to change the iaw. and they were so outraged by the bias in the iaw that it took them 23 years to do it. -please. counselors? it's still a constitutional argument, and it should only be heard if miss maddox loses the trial. if it's all right with you, i'ii hear the argument anyway. and trust me when i say, be prepared, be diligent and be very brief. -rape is a violation of body and mind, a violation that comes through penetration. women can't rape men. a woman can be prosecuted for sodomy one by fellating a man against his will. she's not the penetrant, but she's still guilty. i contend that arousal implies consent. -a physiological response does not override a vocal, "no." most men do not maintain an erection through fear, counselor. but some men do. what do you propose, a tumescence exam? save the wit for your friends, miss cabot. -medical studies document that some female victims experience arousal during their attacks. rape is not about sex. rape is about violence, and rape is about control. no woman has ever been brought to trial under this charge because we're the victims, not the perpetrators. it was not that long ago that the court reacted with disbelief that a mother could murder her own child. -now she's the first person we suspect. your honor, women do not have the anatomical equipment to be equal to men under this law. the law makes no room for selective equality under the first amendment. either women are equal to men, or they aren't. motion to dismiss is denied. -so, this means we go to trial? it's a minor victory. now comes the hard part. it's already started. i'm getting harassed. -nasty phone calls. women following me, shouting at me. chased by reporters and cameras. well, it's only going to get worse, because now the defense has a chance to dig around in your background, poke holes in your story. so anything you want to change, you'd better do now. -my father told me my private life was inadmissible. putting the victim on trial isn't allowed. it isn't. but i have to be honest with you, there are ways to get around it. you seem very concerned. -is there something you haven't told me? no. okay. go home, get some rest. is there any way i can get a ride? -i know the vultures are waiting out there. yeah, i'ii take care of it. villani: what time did peter smith show up at the party, miss guevere? i can't be sure after all this time. -but around 10:00, maybe. what happened then? he did his dance. he was shaking his stuff in our faces, and we'd slide dollars into his thong. it had a big badge in the front. -were the defendants present at that time? to be honest, my attention was elsewhere. so, when did you notice their absence? when poor sydney came out and told us all to leave. to leave? -why do you think she did that? objection. speculation. sustained. villani: -i'ii rephrase. was this something that miss green usually did? i mean, did she usually invite people over and then put them out? no, she'd had parties before and never acted like that. i thought it was rude at the time, but i needed to get home and relieve the babysitter. -nothing further. i have no questions for this witness. villani: so, how did pam adler, sydney green and amelia chase subdue you? one of them had a letter opener. -she tried to stab me. i kept backing up. i just thought she'd had too much to drink. so, did you try to subdue her? did you try to get the weapon? -i couldn't. by this time, the other two were pulling me back. i still thought i was okay. women get a iittle drunk, blow off some steam away from their husbands for a night. i usually handle it and shrug it off. -but this was different? objection, leading. what happened to make this time different than all the other times when you had left a job unscathed? when they cuffed me to the bedpost. it was so quick. -who cuffed you to the bedpost? for the record, the witness is pointing to the defendant, amelia chase. and nothing further. objection. objection. -approach. i find an accused rapist cross-examining the victim repulsive. explain yourself. your honor, miss adler is a member of the bar in good standing. she's the co-counsel of record, and she's protected by the constitution to run her own defense. -this is an intimidation tactic used to undermine the witness. she is asking him to relive the rape. objection, alleged rape. it's an aggressive psychological ploy. that may very well be the case, mr. villani, but i don't have the power to bar her from cross. -you take one step over the line and i will hold you in contempt for the duration. step back. mr. smith, do you go to a gym, work out on a regular basis? objection, relevance. my line of questioning is within the scope. -i can clearly prove that this man is more than capable of protecting himself from three women. petrovsky: sustained. move on, counselor. mr. smith, did you file a civil suit for five million dollars against sydney green? -sir, don't look at them. look at me. did you file a civil suit? objection. badgering. -peter: i needed information. adler: yes or no? that's not how it was. -your honor, please order the witness to answer. sir, you have to answer the question for the record. yes. defense exhibit, your honor. a copy of the civil suit filed by the alleged rape victim, four months ago. -i didn't want money. i wanted names. your honor, i move for immediate dismissal. what went wrong? your suspicions were confirmed, detective. -we were blind-sided by a civil suit filed by our rape victim. i'm sorry, miss cabot. i didn't think it mattered. everything matters. you jeopardized this trial. -what else did you lie about? nothing. now why would anybody believe that? why didn't you tell us about the lawsuit, peter? detective stabler's been on my ass from the very beginning, -looking for any reason to drop it. if i'd have told you about the suit, he would've said i just wanted money. well, isn't that what this has been about all along, a payday for you, a iittle media attention? no. i wanted my rapists' names. -the cops didn't treat me seriously. how else was i supposed to get the information? if you'd won, you would've received a monetary award. if i won, the money would have gone to the animal shelter, and my rapists' names would've gone on the public record. that's very noble. -but i still don't see how we're gonna prove that your motives are anything but venal. what if we talk to the civil attorney, get some corroboration? can we put him on the stand? this is just a spin. what have you got against me? -i was raped. sydney green was coming forward. what? sydney green called you? my lawyer. -after you accused me of killing her, i called him. he said sydney had agreed to give me the names, but the death nullified the suit. so what did i do wrong? turns out peter was telling the truth. the lawyer said he didn't want the money, just the names. -did he confirm sydney green's compliance? the day before her death, she contacted the lawyer to set up a meeting. stabler: that's convenient. benson: -sounds like motive for murder. saves the trouble of a high-profile trial, maybe even a prison sentence. i re-interviewed andrew green. he didn't know about the civil suit. but pam adler had a copy of it. -how did she even know it existed? the record gets expunged when abated by death, so adler had to have a prior copy. sydney green calls up her friends, tells them she's giving in, they kill her. i thought the medical examiner ruled the death accidental. no harm in taking a second look. -justin's a good pathologist but not very imaginative. you find something? female autoerotics are rare, so it's hard to rule on cause of death. which is why the first suspicion was homicide. but in this case, that's what it should've been. -what did he miss? most women don't use porn. they fantasize. also, autoeroticism is habit-forming. if your victim frequently choked herself, where's her towel or silk scarf, something to keep the rope from chafing? -it's vanity. no way to explain the ring around the collar. some women don't use a buffer, so they'ii wear a turtleneck or a scarf, something to hide the evidence. well, if she were strangled, wouldn't there be some evidence of a struggle, damage to the body? it didn't take long for the victim to succumbed to hypoxia. -and the ropes were tied properly, so whoever staged this is a practicing autoerotic. okay. well, doc, you wanna take a look at the crime scene? sure. so the phone dump shows two calls, one to each woman the morning of the attack. -she gives them the news that she's caving in to peter's demands to save her marriage. they decide to kill her. they come prepared. quickest way to do that is a blitz attack right here, not in the bedroom. you be the victim. -okay. they say, "come on, sydney, iet's talk about this. "there's gotta be another way that we can handle this, "so we can deal with it, okay?" aii right. -you did say there was no struggle. exert a iittle pressure, and anoxia would occur almost immediately. as soon as she's out cold, they carry her into the bedroom. truss her, string her to the fan, and the hypoxia takes care of the rest. we're thinking they staged the scene, candles, music, sexy teddy? -maybe they didn't have to. she was waiting for her husband. a little make-up sex. looping the ropes would have taken some time. not if you know what you're doing. -csu didn't dust for prints. not the whole beam. just the area around the fan. this better be good, miss cabot. it is. -your client is under arrest for the murder of sydney green. so let's horse trade. depends on what you have. plead out to murder two and all current charges. in exchange for her testimony against pam adler, -i'ii give 12 and a half for the homicide, 7-to-15 for the rape. your generosity overwhelms me. it's a good deal, mr. harper. your client would be advised to take it. what are you basing this on? -miss chase's prints were found at the crime scene. my client was a friend. she's been to the apartment several times. prints will never hold up. the victim was strangled, mr. harper. -your client's prints were found on the bedroom ceiling above the bed. we also searched her apartment and found autoerotic paraphernalia. it's all circumstantial. we're done here. ask your client to remove the scarf from around her neck. -oh, now, please... stop. crunch your numbers again. by the time i get out of prison, i'ii be eligible for senior citizens' discounts. if i take this to trial, you'ii get life. -tell me about the rape. sydney was getting married. neither one of us liked the guy. he seemed beneath her. so sydney planned her own shower, booked a male stripper as entertainment. -cabot: so peter smith entertained the ladies and then what? pam pulled me aside, said she'd worked out an arrangement with the guy for a private performance. i thought, "what the hell?" he was hot. what happened then? -pam and i went into sydney's office to wait. after peter followed mrs. green into the bedroom, what happened next? we cuffed him to the bed and raped him. i got his keys out of his pants pocket and released him when we were done. pam threw some cash at him and he left. -thank you. nothing further. do you know how the iaw defines rape in the first degree? sexual intercourse through forcible compulsion. and is it your testimony that that's what happened? -that's correct? yes. three women raped a 6-foot, 170-pound man. is that what you did? yes. -well, did any of you have a gun, a knife, a weapon of any kind at all? pam had been waving a letter opener. well, was it sharp? no. did my client say anything to the stripper? -did she give him orders? no. she lunged at him a couple of times, and he kept jumping back. who handcuffed him to the bed? i did. -so you raped the stripper, not my client. my client paid for his services. objection. is there a question? sorry. -did paying mr. smith seem like the act of a rapist or that of a satisfied customer? objection. was it your testimony that miss adler made arrangements for mr. smith to have a private performance? that's what she said but... and did you see her give him money? -a simple yes or no will do. yes. on the charge of rape in the first degree, how do you find the defendant? not guilty. on the charge of sodomy in the first degree? -not guilty. unlawful imprisonment? not guilty. and assault in the third degree? guilty. -the defendant is free to go until sentencing. court is adjourned. peter, i'm sorry we didn't get them both. one's better than none. congratulations, counselor. -you put up a good fight, alex. well, i didn't get the ruling i wanted, but maybe next time. (reporters chattering) you're under arrest for the murder of sydney green. i'ii beat this charge, too, counselor. -just watch me. aii of your courtroom knowledge won't get you out of this one. man: how did this happen? looks like next time's now. -feel like bargaining over a drink? my best offer is 25. sixteen, you can pick up the bar tab. that's crazy. she'd be out in 12. -'in new york city's war on crime, 'the worst criminal offenders are pursued 'by the detectives of the major case squad. 'these are their stories.' this one is you, karen. martinis in millbrook or punch in palm beach. it's so versatile. -sydney, really! i gotta go. do you know what you're doing? if bernie ever found out... just be happy for me. -i know i'm late. i had to give the appointment away. rochelle, this is an emergency! i have a date. with him? -i can't help myself. he's french. even when he's just ordering a sandwich, it makes you feel like you're in a movie. 'he says he loves me.' talk is cheap. -so, what colour? just give me the usual. i have to go, i'm late. he won't care how long he's waited when he sees you in this. -mmm! wanna try it on? i can't, i'm late. just wrap it. cheri? -yoo-hoo. denis? oh, damn, i can't believe i broke my nail! denis? his name is denis dupont. -he checked in around one. he's stayed with us before. always the same lady? lady? the champagne, strawberries. -i never paid attention. i know he had business meetings here. how long will you be? depends. business? -this room is reserved for tomorrow. the more you help me, the faster we'll be outta here. finance, i believe. any phone calls in or out? the operator put one call through, a woman at ten to two. -then mr dupont asked not to be disturbed. do you have his home address? no, but i believe he lives in town someplace. how did he pay? credit card from a paris bank. -he never gave you a local address? no, and we never asked. it's a woman's fingernail. i brought him champagne and strawberries. he was by himself. -see anybody go in his room? anybody on the floor who didn't belong? i saw a woman by the elevator and she was not a guest. she was in a hurry. she kept pressing the button to go down. -what did she look like? she was redhead. fat? thin? medium, maybe. -in big fur coat, russian sable. very rich lady. there's no wallet. just an international driver's licence. with...a very bad picture. -denis dupont, paris, france, 33. the maid said he was good-looking. this makes him look like all three of the three stooges. maybe it was a pay-date. ordered a girl, got the pimp. -champagne and strawberries for a hooker? there's too much blood and guts for a robbery. dupont was attacked when he opened this door. blood spatter on the door jamb. the beating carried into here and ended with a broken glass ashtray. -and the face mutilation makes it personal. jealous husband. if dupont chose his girlfriends as carefully as he chose his jackets, he'd still be alive. custom-made. things like this do not happen to our customers. -three weeks ago he picked up his new suit, ordered two summer suits. no, i do not have an address for him. this is a disaster. the cloth's been cut. phone number? -he's travelling. how'd you tell him his suits were ready? he called me. he's a busy fellow. busy doing what? -i don't know. mr dupont did not use his personal life for small talk. what did he talk about? business, politics, stock market. told me to invest. -as if i could. so he walks in off the street and orders $5,000 suits? he was referred to us by a very good customer. jonathan phelps. i ran into him at dinner parties. -he was fun. it's tragic for the family. first john dupont killing the wrestler, now this. denis was one of those duponts? yes. -by his father. his mother was french. he was raised there. so, what's the inside story? we think he was meeting somebody at the newbury. -any candidates? wouldn't know. i've been out of touch with denis. i thought he could talk his way out of any tight spot. he had a talent for that? -speeding tickets, social blunders. he could charm his way in or out of anything. and the last time you saw him? a few weeks ago. i ran into him. -he was hanging out with a new crowd. roy markham, the investment banker, and his wife, sydney. denis and i threatened to call each other, but we never did. 'dead? ' -we had no idea. we just came in from bedford. i don't know what we could tell you. he was really just an acquaintance. the people at the restaurant said you ate there a number of times. -as part of a group. denis was a good extra man to have around. this is awful news. we're having a hard time pinning down where he lived. -on the park, right? mm-hm. if you leave me your card, i'll ask around. we'll do everything to help. -luisa? we'll be expecting your call. you said no one would get hurt. will you shut up? this guy lived in the ether. -you'd think the family'd keep track of their heirs. we called them, interpol... you found a fingernail at the scene? the polish was fresh. forensics matched it to a polish sold at exclusive salons. -only a few hundred of those in the city. detective eames speaking. yes! thank you for returning my call. the question came up if dupont was using. -only champagne was found. that was the consulate. dupont was a guest at a reception last month. they mailed the invitation to his home. it's a sublet. -the owners live across town. the blackstones. maybe you should talk to them before you start going through mr dupont's things. was he a friend of theirs? mrs blackstone told me that he was a close personal friend of hers. -did mr blackstone know that mr dupont was living here? can't see that he couldn't. dupont have many visitors? lady friends? no. -he was minding his p's and q's. the residents are thin-skinned about any kind of bad behaviour. he was already on notice for smoking in the elevator. the french, you know. we'll need the blackstones' address. -there's something so chilling about picking up the paper and reading about an old lover being murdered. when did you stop seeing mr dupont? months ago. and...we only slept together once. the french are highly overrated. -he lived in your apartment? he needed a place to stay while he was house-hunting. what about your husband? he didn't mind. he travels a lot. -he's rarely in town. dog show, funerals, the us open... yes, i see he likes tennis. that's not what i meant. did your husband have a relationship with him? -denis wasn't a switch-hitter and if he were, he wouldn't have been my husband's type. mind if i ask how you...? the photos. your husband and his male tennis friends. you and your horses. -no photos together. no children. separate but equal lives. very good. well, if you want to know who denis was sleeping with, why don't you ask felix? -who's felix? felix perez was denis's gofer. do you have an address for him? heavens, no! why would i? -the blows were intended to inflict the most pain. the variation in colour of the bruises indicates the victim was worked over for an hour. a professional? i'd say so. internal injuries? -ruptured spleen, broken ribs. somebody wanted something from dupont. information. you can't talk clearly with your face like that. that damage was postmortem. -cause of death was asphyxiation. somebody tortured him for an hour, suffocated him and then beat his face into hamburger? i guess they didn't get what they were after. charity balls, gallery openings, nightclub passes, receipts for le cirque... he was living a high-octane existence. -i'm off for a commstat. any news on dupont to liven up my presentation? sure. dmv shows an address on his assistant, felix perez. progress. -building was torn down last year. no forwarding address. thank you. what's all this? dupont's personal effects. -whatever the bad guys wanted might be in his papers. page me. he has george w's number in texas. really? -i have a letter here from donald trump thanking dupont for his timely advice. and he misspells the word investment. you'd think trump's secretary would use spellcheck. here we go. washington livery, felix perez. -maybe he did work here, but i had nothing to do with anything he was doing. what was he doing? other drivers said he'd pick up asian businessmen at the airport, offer to get them hookers, take a couple of hundred off them and disappear. so you fired him? no, he got a better offer. -from? a customer he picked up at jfk. a rich guy. perez said he was gonna be this guy's personal assistant. good luck to the both of 'em. -the landlady says felix has been mia since the murder. signatures. donald trump, rupert murdoch, prince ernst of hannover. perez was practising forgery. and here, letters of reference for denis dupont unsigned. -why would the heir to the dupont fortune need phoney character references? low self-esteem? we can always ask the duponts. i'm sorry i was tardy in responding to your inquiry about denis dupont. all the newspapers were calling and i had no information, naturally. -why naturally? i did an in-depth search of the family records regarding denis dupont, this time concentrating on the french side of the family. dupont's a very common name in france but he's not one of ours, there's no connection. you said you made another search? mm-hm. -a few weeks ago. for whom? a mr... bernard cove. said he was in real estate. -dupont kept hawking me to invest with him, so i checked him out. when the duponts said they'd never heard of him, well... i decided to keep my money were it was. we should have known. his manners, his name-dropping. -he just didn't feel like old money. did he find other investors? i don't know. where'd you meet him? gallery opening? -mm-hm. somebody introduced us. i don't remember who. women found him attractive. did you find him attractive, mrs cove? -i suppose. what was it about him specifically? being a man, i'm curious. i couldn't tell from his photo. was it his mouth? -his eyes? you'll have to excuse me. his finances track like a game of snakes and ladders. transfers to five accounts, withdrawals by cashier's cheques. the money's missing. -two million. missing? out of the country? i checked for foreign transfers. nothin'. -the money's here somewhere. where does the money come from? he had some investment club. heavy hitters at 300 grand apiece. roy markham, mindy blackstone, george reid. -and guess who? bernard cove said he never invested with dupont but here's a receipt for 250k from his account, payable to dupont, four weeks before he called the dupont office. he found out dupont was a phoney after he gave him the money. we don't like perez? he's missing. -or now his boss is dead, he's running scared. think cove knew dupont was schtupping his missus? might've. might've used the affair to set up dupont. if the guy was picking my wallet and bed, i'd want him whacked. -how do you wanna proceed? a search warrant? what are you looking for? a fur coat. save yourself a lot of trouble and show us where it is. -my husband left... turn this way. what are you doing? a photo to show the staff at the newbury hotel. what for? -the warrant is valid for nail polish products or any records of visits to nail salons. someone left a broken nail in denis dupont's room. oh, my god. i could use a drink. you wanna tell us something? -i didn't kill him. he was already dead when i got to the room. there was nothing that i could do. did your husband know you were meeting him? -my husband? absolutely not. why? we suspect he was setting a trap for dupont. not over an affair. -besides, he did not know about denis and me. who knew you were going to the hotel? nobody. just sydney. sydney markham is a friend of yours? -yes, a very good friend. she introduced denis to me. sydney markham, whose husband gave dupont...$325,000? i had no idea they'd invested. she never said a word. -oh, my god! oh, my god, how could i have been so stupid? it must have been all of them. they were all in on it. they came to my house. -two of them. they won't find out. how can you be so sure? they got this far. there's no point arguing. -we just pay him off. we paid him to get our money back, which he didn't do, now we pay him more for botching the job? we want him to leave town, period. don't you people get it? we killed a man. -we might not have meant it to happen, but we are responsible. ok...we're responsible. this is what the son of a bitch is asking for. i divided it four ways. -good god! we pay this and we never have to worry about it again. you hope. a murder conspiracy? by our more prominent citizens. -i'm as shocked as you are. if dupont was ripping them off, why not go the police? embarrassment? businessmen taken in by impostor with continental accent. there'd be cautionary tales in the journal. -their credibility would be shot. evidence? can you substantiate ms cove's story? dupont got a call at two o'clock from a woman. karen cove said it wasn't her, sydney markham delayed her. -sydney might have called dupont to make sure he was in place for his beating. they wanna subpoena her phone records. i'll make it happen. no, i did not call dupont at his hotel. i didn't even know he was at a hotel. -your phone records show the call came from here. i don't know how that's possible. i do. you're not gonna like my explanation. sydney, your driver's downstairs. -tell sammy i'll be 20 minutes. you're forcing me to betray a confidence. karen cove was here that afternoon and i believe she was having an affair with dupont. now, if there was a phone call, it must have come from her. she already told us about the affair and...she denied making the call. -well, i don't like to say this about a friend, but karen is lying. she called him. i overheard her. your licence and registration. what's the problem, officer? -you're parked too close to the hydrant. i thought the rule was 15 feet. you look about 14 feet to me. ok, sammy, here you go. samuel bell's been arrested for bookmaking and a couple of dope pops. -in the bookmaking, who were his associates? two. tommy doonan. looks like he was the bank. and leslie roche. -convictions for assault, assault, assault. a collector. he's still on probation. a couple of phone numbers. let's track him down. -hi, is les there? it's sandy. well, i owe him some money and you know how he is. florida? oh, shoot, i'd so love to talk to him. -you think you got his number down there? thanks a bunch. bye. boca raton, sport fishing. what do you know? -a parole violation. i don't do things like this. i'm a professional. no muss, no fuss, no murder. check my rap sheet. -we looked in that doctor's bag of tricks the boca raton police got off you. slapjacks, brass knuckles - all of which are illegal, by the way. my client collects those for entertainment purposes only. he never hit anybody with them. then mr dupont must have bumped into his brass knuckles. -they match the bruises on his body. we're all grown-ups here. you have one chance to take your chestnuts out of the fire and tell us who hired you, or...go down for this all by yourself. roy markham got my name from his driver. some guy ripped off him and his friends. -markham told me to go to this hotel room. they sent me to reason with him. the guy head-butts me, makes for the door, so i knock him down. it took me a while to get control. when i did, i asked where the money was. -he kept saying he didn't know. about a half-hour later, he passed out. it was time to quit. i left. he was still breathing. -i did not kill him. i did not break an ashtray on his face. you said it took a while for you to get things under control. this guy was fighting you? from the get-go. -i think he liked to fight. might have had a little training. is this the guy you beat up? no. yeah, that's the guy. -felix perez. who's perez? he's the guy you beat up. the wrong guy. somebody tipped dupont off. -he put perez in the room to get the beating meant for him. he came back after roche left, finished off perez, disfigured him and left him unidentifiable. do we know dupont's identity? we sent his prints to france. -no hits yet. so now he's free to disappear. while the people he conned take the rap for his murder. there's a chance he's still around. he's flamboyant and narcissistic. -he'll wanna witness his handiwork. and he still has two million bucks stashed somewhere. then, it's just a question of flushing him out. the moment he knows we're on to him, he's gone. we need to maintain his sense of security. -so what do you suggest? charge markham and his friends with dupont's murder. charge them for a murder they didn't commit of a person who isn't dead? i can't begin to count the violations that entails. mr carver, this man dupont, or whatever his name is, has had us chasing our tails for weeks. -i do not like to be made a fool of. payback is a healthy human response here. i suppose mr roche could be lying and did kill the man at the hotel. since the identity of the deceased is still a matter of conjecture, it's proper that we charge them with the murder of john doe, aka denis dupont. we'll give this to the papers. -the bigger the headlines, the better. we want dupont to take the hook. 'the people charged in the murder include financier roy markham, 'his wife, hat designer sydney markham, 'real-estate developer bernard cove...' didier, why are you hiding here? i always hated that picture. -it doesn't even look like you. come on. i have someone i want you to meet. quentin? this is my boyfriend, didier. -he's opening the nightclub i was telling you about. simone, i told you not to talk about it. i only did it because quentin is so nice. he's looking for a place to... how do you say? -park your money? yeah. i have to be honest. i'm not really looking for investors. may i ask, did you get this suit at savile row? -yes. i was in london for some meetings. i get very intrigued by a man who doesn't want my money. so, tell me about your club. not guilty. -not guilty. not guilty. not guilty. not guilty. people on bail? -million dollars each. such high bail when the charges are ridiculous? there's no motive for murder. the moneys my clients paid were venture capital with no expectation of repayment. they made $2 million gifts to strangers, and here they are squawking about bail? -the protestations do sound hollow. bail is set at a million for each defendant. next. docket number 3922, people v nanette cove. two counts of larceny... -my client, mrs markham, wants to talk. all right. i warned denis. my husband put this scheme in motion to get our money back. but i couldn't go through with it, so i called him from my showroom. -i told him they were sending a man to his hotel and he should leave. i don't understand why he didn't. since she renunciated the plan, she's off the hook for the murder. i'll consider it. mrs markham, were you and mr dupont lovers? -briefly. you knew he wasn't who said he was? yes. before my husband or the others. you didn't care? -no. to see someone like him trick my husband and his friends... someone like him? what do you mean? he was raised in an orphanage. -my father owned a grocery store. i know what it's like to climb up. we were very good friends. er... well, how'd he show it? -like my hat business. roy called it a money drain, a hobby. but denis made me take it seriously. he helped me develop a business plan. he organised my books. -organised your books? yes. he believed in me. mrs markham brought him in a couple of months ago like he was some kind of business god. he didn't know a line sheet from an order form. -did he ask about banking information? routing numbers, that sort of thing? no. but he asked for the articles of incorporation and the corporate seal. did he say why? -no. i know he kept them overnight. i don't know what for. to open a bank account, for one thing. do you know about this letter from the irs? -it's a tax lien. tax lien? it's dated three weeks ago. they had $65,000 in unpaid payroll taxes. with penalties and interest, it comes to $90,000. -your letter says you seized that money from the bank. the bank has no record of the seizure. they should. nissay bank. whoa! -that's not their bank. we found their account there. it opened two months ago. how much in the account? as of two weeks ago, -$1,865,000. the account's frozen until we get a notarised release. a release signed by whom? the sole shareholder, mr sydney markham. it takes a couple of weeks to process. -until then, the account's frozen. i explained this to mr markham. you spoke to him? twice. he even came in, he was so insistent to clear up the problem. -if only they were all like that. is this mr markham? yes. he thought he'd hidden his money, but he didn't count on the irs. neither did al capone. -we still have time. he has to forge id for the notary, then there's irs turnaround time. two weeks. we haven't found him by then, we won't let that money go. we can stall for a few days, but if he picks up our scent, he'll scoot. -you got your work cut out. what's the plan? engage his ego. oh. he was a confidence man with too much confidence. -he overestimated his own charisma and died a fool. is that good for you, tom? perfect. thanks, bobby. is that santini from the ledger? -don't worry. i mentioned your name. i'm going jogging. what's wrong? what do you care what they think? -it's done. get the papers signed, come to rio with me and i'll make you forget them. where is your phone? here. i'll get you some food on the way back, ok? -i want to place an international call, person to person. the number is 212-555-0109. yes, new york. tom santini. my name is denis dupont. -'he said he was very much alive.' he wouldn't tell me where he was, but the operator said it originated from a cellphone prefix in rio. what else did he say? he didn't consider himself a criminal. he was on a holy mission to cure the rich of their greed. -he was very funny about it. what's funny is, we've had half a dozen people call claiming to be denis dupont. really? this guy had a french accent. they all had french accents. -quote me. "detective goren says that denis dupont is dead." done. it'll be in tomorrow's paper. goren? 'pleasure to put the voice to the name.' -who's this? 'this is the man you call dupont.' you'll have to do better. i get a lot of crank calls. 'it's such a shame what they did to my friend felix. -'they killed him so brutally.' so, mr dupont... or do you want to tell me your real name? dupont opens so many doors. 'not this one. -'i'm gonna hang up now.' wait. one moment. there's no intimacy without trust. my name is didier, a common enough name. -a common name for an uncommon beginning. you were an orphan, right? no. my parents were alive but unable to care for me. it's a very different thing. -'if they were dead, they'd have had a better excuse.' 'what was it like in an orphanage with all those kids nobody wanted? 'must have been hard to be special.' i was special. you don't know what you're talking about. -maybe you're special now, but back then you were abandoned. you were a ward of the state, just like thousands of other poor kids. i was not poor. i was only in an orphanage a very short time. 'don't be ashamed.' -i'm not! why are we even talking about this? well, we can talk about anything you like. let's talk about... how far you've come. considering you were raised in some state orphanage with bad food, bad hygiene, abuse... -was there a lot of abuse? i told you i was not raised there. the authorities in my canton returned me to my parents. i'm sure your parents are impressed with everything you've accomplished. or maybe they don't care. -this is intolerable! i don't know how you make a living out of stupidity. you made a mistake about me, mr goren. 'that's all i wanted to let you know.' do we have the fingerprints for mr dupont? -what's up? i just got a call from our dead frenchman. he said his canton gave him back to his parents. cantons are the equivalent of states. he's not french. -he's swiss. swiss police got a hit on the prints. didier foucault, 33, aliases up the wazoo, convictions for fraud, cheque kiting. no record of violence. last stretch seven years ago for six months. -the swiss faxed us everything on foucault's early years. swiss? that'll include dirty nappies. contrary to what he told us, he was in an orphanage run by nuns from age four to 15. he was never adopted. -his mother was a prostitute. he had medical problems through childhood. good. we still have to find him. ten to one he'll call back. -he has something to prove to me now. ten to one? i've taken him on before, mr carver. i'm down 18 bucks. from dr steven pitt. "orphans live with a perpetual sense of shame. -"some overcompensate through achievement. "some mollify their pain through substance abuse. "some invent fantasies with over-idealised parents. "these individuals may develop into pseudologia fantastica, impostors, "who, when confronted with evidence of their fraud, -"erupt in a rage and will go to any length "to persuade their audience that their fantasy is true." he'll call. he could be using an alias. leonard roche foucault... -goren! line four. i'll call you back. goren. 'detective goren, hello.' -i wanted to apologise for losing my temper during our last conversation. 'i understand. your childhood's a sore subject.' i'm not the kind of person who loses his temper. i was raised with good manners. -at the orphanage? who raised you? civil servants? priests? nuns? -'what did you do when you wanted somebody to hold you? ' to comfort you? hmm, didier? did you make yourself sick and run to the nurse? -what are you talking about? kids like you, abandoned kids...are hypochondriac. you have it all wrong. my upbringing taught me how to survive. you survived by pretending to be other people. -i survived because i was superior. i am always three steps ahead. the people you conned, you only got out by the skin of your teeth. but i got out. only by killing felix. -you screwed up. think what you want. you're living up to your breeding. i bet your parents were crooks. or drug addicts! -i bet your dad pimped out your mom! you stupid cop! you have no idea! no idea! i have an idea you're terrified of prison. -it'd be like going back to the orphanage. prison is nothing. of course. you've been to prison. 'another mistake made by idiots like you, but i didn't care.' -'it was a vacation.' do you know how long it took me to get special privileges in prison? less than 24 hours. what's a special privilege in a prison? a tick-infested pillow? -fresh fruit, caipirinhas, women, anything i wanted. 'i had the guards like a palm in a fist.' drugs? 'drugs? ' -see how you think? you see the pedestrian level of your intellect? 'it's the trouble with you police - so many guns, so little brains.' think you'd make a good detective? i'd make the very best detective. -do you know why? i understand human nature. 'you might profit from such a study, detective goren.' caipirinhas. he was in prison in brazil. -two years ago, he served eight months for credit card fraud in brazil. he was arrested in rio with simone dasilva, brazilian national. cellphone from rio. we figure he's here with her. we're looking for her hotel registrations. -the irs got the release. we're pulling in the notary to verify. we found the girl. soho east, room 1216. i'll handle the warrants. -is that you? i was just going down to the bar. put your hands on the back of your head. sit down. sit down! -i got her. can i have bitters and soda? i'm trying to quit drinking. maybe happy hour isn't the best place for you. at least i can smoke. -nice to put a face to the voice. you have the wrong man. i don't think so. bail is denied. next case. -people vs didier foucault. murder in the second degree. larceny in the first. how do you plead? not guilty, sir. -people on bail? we want him remanded to custody. my client's friends will put up any bail amount. these friends are his victims. he doesn't care about their money. -he was arrested with a ticket for brazil and passports with three identities. if there ever was a flight risk, he's it. thank you. bail is denied. the defendant is remanded to custody pending trial. -next case. docket number 4604, the people v christine chandler... try telling them they're victims. don't tell me you feel sorry for this guy? -well, someone to teach you how to ride a bike, two people that think you're special, it makes a difference. some people get by on a lot less. they shouldn't have to. this one is you, karen. martinis in millbrook or punch in palm beach, it's so versatile. -oh, sydney, really, i got to go. are you sure you know what you're doing? if bernie ever found out-- oh, just be happy for me. i know i'm late. -i had to give your appointment away to a walk-in client. rochelle, this is an emergency. i have a date. with him? i can't help myself. -he's french. even when he's just ordering a sandwich it makes you feel like you're in a movie. he says he loves me. talk is cheap. so what color? -oh, just give me the usual. oh, damn. erma, i have to go. i'm hours late. he won't care how long he's waited when he sees you in this. -oooh. mmm. want to try it on? oh, i can't, i'm late. just wrap it. -cheri? yoo-hoo? denis? ow. oh, damn. -i can't believe it. i broke my nail. denis? his name is denis dupont. he checked in sometime around 1:00 this afternoon. -he's stayed with us before. always the same lady? lady? the champagne, the strawberries? i never paid attention. -i know sometimes he held business meetings here. how long will you people be? it depends. what business? this room is reserved for tomorrow night. -the more you can help me, the faster we'll be out of here. finance, i believe. any phone calls, in or out? the operator put one call through, a woman, at 10 to 2:00. then mr. dupont phoned down, asked not to be disturbed. -do you have a home address for him? no, but i believe he lives in town someplace. how did he pay? uh... credit card, from paris bank. and he never gave you a local address? -no, and we never asked. this is a woman's fingernail. i brought him champagne and strawberries just before 2:00. he was by himself. you see anybody go in or out of his room? -anybody on the floor who didn't belong? i saw a woman by the elevator, and she was not a guest. she was in a hurry, she kept pressing... you know, the button, to go down very fast. what did she look like? -i think she was redhead. fat, thin? medium maybe. in big fur coat, russian sable-- very rich lady. there's no wallet. -just an international driver's license... with a very bad picture. denis dupont, paris, france, 33. the maid said he was good looking. this makes him look like all of the three stooges. -maybe he had a pay date-- ordered a girl, got the pimp? champagne and strawberries for a hooker? no. anyway, there's too much blood and guts for a robbery. denis dupont was attacked practically the moment he opened this door. -blood spattered on the doorjamb. the beating carried into here... and ended with a broken glass ashtray. and the way the face is mutilated makes it personal. a jealous husband. -if dupont chose his girlfriends as carefully as he chose his jackets, he'd still be alive. enzo pari. custom-made. things like this do not happen to our customers. i mean, he was just in here three weeks ago. -picked up his new suit, ordered two summer suits. no, i do not have an address for him. this is a disaster. the pattern is made, the cloth's been cut. how about a phone number? -no, he said he was traveling. how'd you tell him when his suits were ready? he called me. he was always in a hurry to get his suits. he's a busy fellow. -busy doing what? i don't know. mr. dupont did not use his personal life for small talk. what did he talk about? business, politics, stock market. -he used to tell me i should invest, as if i had that kind of money. so he just walks in off the street and orders a bunch of $5,000 suits? he was referred to us by a very good customer. jonathan phelps. i kept running into him at dinner parties. -he was great fun. it's a tragic loss for the family, i'm sure. first john dupont killing the wrestler, now this. denis was one of those duponts? yes, by his father. -his mother was french. he was raised there. so what's the inside story? we think he was meeting somebody at the newbury. any candidates? -i wouldn't know. i'd been out of touch with denis since last summer. i thought denis could talk his way out of any tight spot. he had talent for that sort of thing? oh, speeding tickets, social blunders. -denis can charm his way in or out of anything. and the last time you saw him? a few weeks ago. i ran into him at la goulue. he was hanging out with a new crowd. -roy markham, the investment banker, and his wife sydney. denis and i threatened to call each other, but we never did. dead? we had no idea. we just came in from bedford. -i don't know what we can tell you. he was really just an acquaintance. well, the people at the restaurant said you ate there together a number of times. as part of a group. denis was a good extra man to have around. -this is awful news. we're having a hard time pinning down where he lived. somewhere around the park. isn't that right, sydney? mm-hmm. -if you leave me your card, i'll ask around. we'll do everything to help. louisa? we'll be expecting your call. i thought you said no one would get hurt. -will you shut up? far as anybody knows, this guy lived in the ether. you'd think the dupont family'd keep track of their heirs. we got calls into them, the french consulate, interpol... good. -you found a fingernail at the scene? the nail polish was fresh. forensics matched it to a polish sold only at very exclusive salons. only a few hundred of those in the city. major case squad, detective eames speaking. -yes, thank you for returning my call. question came up at a briefing-- if dupont was using. there was only champagne found in the room. that was the french consulate. dupont was a guest at a reception last month. -they mailed the invitation to his home. it's a sublet. the owners live across town-- the blackstones. maybe you should talk to them before you start going through mr. dupont's things. was he a friend of theirs? -mrs. blackstone told me that he was a close personal friend of hers. did mr. blackstone know that mr. dupont was living here? can't see that he couldn't. dupont have many visitors? lady friends? -no, no. he was minding his p's and q's. the residents here are thin-skinned about any kind of bad behavior. he was already on notice for smoking in the elevator. the french, you know. -we'll need the blackstones' address. there's something so chilling about picking up the paper and reading about an old lover being murdered. when did you stop seeing mr. dupont? months ago. and we only slept together once. -the french are highly overrated. he lived in your apartment. he needed a place to stay while he was house hunting. what about your husband? he didn't mind. -he travels a lot, he's rarely in town, the dog show, funerals, the us open. yes, i see he likes tennis. but that's not what i meant. did your husband have a relationship with him? denis wasn't a switch-hitter, and if he were, he wouldn't've been my husband's type. -mind if i ask how you...? the photos-- your husband and his male tennis friends. you and your horses. no photos together. no children. -separate but equal lives. very good. well, if you want to know who denis was sleeping with why don't you ask felix? who's felix? felix perez was denis' gofer. -do you have an address for him? heavens, no. why would i? the blows were methodical, intended to inflict the most pain-- kidneys, ribs, groin. the variation and color of the bruises indicates the victim was worked over for an hour or so. -the work of a professional. yeah, i'd say so. internal injuries? ruptured spleen, broken ribs, punctured lungs. somebody wanted something from dupont-- information. -you can't talk very clearly with your face looking like that. the damage to the face was postmortem. cause of death was asphyxiation. so somebody tortured him for an hour, suffocated him, and then for the hell of it beat his face into hamburger? i guess they didn't get what they were after. -charity balls, gallery openings, nightclub passes, receipts for daniel, le cirque-- this guy was living a high-octane existence. i'm heading upstairs for a compstat. any breaking news on dupont to liven up my presentation? uh, sure. the dmv shows an address on his assistant, felix perez. -progress. the building was torn down last year, felix didn't leave a forwarding address. thank you. what's all this? -dupont's personal effects. maybe whatever the bad guys were looking for will show up in his papers. anything does, page me. here's george w.'s number in texas. really? -i have a letter here from donald trump thanking dupont for his timely advice... and he misspells the word "investment." you'd think trump's secretary would use spell check. here we go. washington livery, felix perez. -yeah, okay, maybe he did work here. but that doesn't mean i had anything to do with anything he was doing. like what was he doing? what i heard from the other drivers-- he'd pick up these asian businessmen at the airport, offer to get them hookers, take a couple of hundred off them... and then disappear. -that and other things. so you fired him? no. he got a better offer. from? -customer he picked up at jfk last summer. a rich guy. perez said he was going to be this guy's personal assistant. good luck to the both of them. the landlady says felix has been mia since the murder. -look at this-- signatures. donald trump, rupert murdoch, prince ernst of hanover. perez was practicing forging. and here, letters of reference for denis dupont, unsigned. -now why would the heir to the dupont fortune need phony character references? low self-esteem? well, we can always ask the duponts. i'm sorry i was tardy in responding to your inquiry about denis dupont. all the newspapers were calling and i had no information to give them, naturally. -why naturally? i did an in-depth search of the family records regarding denis dupont, this time concentrating on the french side of the family. dupont's a very common name in france, but he's not one of ours. there's no connection to the family. you said this time -- you made another search? -mm-hmm, a few weeks ago. for whom? a mr. bernard cove. said he was in real estate. dupont kept hawking me to invest with him, so i checked him out. -when the duponts said they'd never heard of him, well, i decided to keep my money where it was. we should've known. his manners, his name-dropping, he just didn't feel like old money. -did he find other investors? i don't know. where'd you meet him? a gallery opening, right? mmm. -mm-hmm. somebody introduced us, i don't remember who. we heard that women found him attractive. did you find him attractive, mrs. cove? i suppose. -what was it about him, specifically? being a man, i'm curious. i couldn't tell from his photo. was it his mouth, his eyes? you'll have to excuse me. -dupont's finances track like a game of snakes and ladders. wire transfers to five different accounts, withdrawals by cashier's checks. and all the money's missing. over two million bucks. missing? -you mean out of the country? i checked the feds for notifications of foreign transfers-- nothing. the money's here somewhere. well, where does the money come from? he had some kind of investment club. -heavy hitters at 300 grand a piece. roy markham, mindy blackstone, george reid and guess who? bernard cove said he never invested with dupont, but here's a cashier's check receipt for 250k from his account payable to dupont, four weeks before he called the dupont family office. he found out dupont was a phony after he gave him the money-- which isn't what he told us. so we don't like perez? -he's low-rent, he's missing? or now that his boss is dead he's running scared. you think cove knew dupont was shtupping his missus? might've. might've used the affair to set up dupont. -if a guy was picking my wallet and my bed, i'd want him whacked, too. how do you want to proceed? a search warrant? what are you looking for? -a fur coat. russian sable. you could save yourself a lot of trouble if you just show us where you keep it. my husband just left for his office. he'd prefer-- -you mind turning this way? what're you doing? we need a photo to show the staff at the newbury hotel. why? what for? -the warrant is also valid for nail polish products, or any records of visits to nail salons. someone left a broken nail in denis dupont's room. oh my god. i could use a drink. you want to tell us something? -i didn't kill him. he was already dead when i got to the room. there was nothing that i could do. did your husband know you were meeting him there? my husband? -no, absolutely not. why? we suspect he was setting a trap for dupont. no, not over an affair. besides, he did not know about denis and me. -who knew you were going to the hotel? nobody. just sydney. sydney markham is a friend of yours? yes, a very good friend. -she introduced denis to me. sydney markham... whose husband gave dupont $325,000? oh, i had no idea they'd invested. she never said a word. -oh my god. oh my god. how could i have been so stupid? it must have been all of them. they were all in on it. -they came to my house, two of them. they're not going to find out anything. how can you be so sure, hmm? they got this far. there's no point arguing among ourselves. -we just pay this guy off and get it over with. we paid him to get our money back, which he didn't do. now we're going to pay him more 'cause he botched the job? we want him to leave town, period. don't you people get it? -we killed a man. we might not have meant it to happen but we are responsible. okay, we're responsible. this is what the son of a bitch is asking for. i divided it four ways. -good god! we pay this and we never have to worry about it again. you hope. a murder conspiracy? by some of our more prominent citizens. -i'm as shocked as you are. if dupont was ripping them off then why not go to the police? embarrassment? savvy businessmen taken in by impostor with continental accent? ooh! -there'd be cautionary tales in the journal. their credibility would be shot. i don't see the evidence. can you substantiate mrs. caves story? dupont got a call at his hotel room at 2:00 from a woman. -karen cove said it wasn't her. she said sydney markham delayed her. sydney markham might've been the one who called dupont to make sure he was in place for his beating. they want to subpoena her phone records. i'll make it happen. -no, i did not call dupont at his hotel. i didn't even know he was at a hotel. your phone records show the call came from here. well, i don't know how that's possible. i do. -you're not going to like my explanation. sydney, your driver is downstairs. oh, tell sammy i'll be 20 minutes. you're forcing me to betray a confidence. karen cove was here that afternoon, and i believe she was having an affair with dupont. -now if there was a phone call, it must've come from her. she already told us about the affair. she denied making the call. i don't like to say this about a friend, but karen is lying. she called him. -i overheard her. give me your license and registration. what's the problem, officer? uh, well, you're parked too close to the hydrant. i thought the rule was 15 feet? -you look about 14 feet to me. okay, sammy. here you go. besides driving mrs. markham, samuel bell's been arrested for bookmaking and a couple of dope pops. -in the bookmaking, who were his associates? two. tommy doonan -- looks like he was the bank-- and leslie roche-- convictions for assault, assault, assault. a collector. he's still on probation. -couple of phone numbers. let's track him down. here. hi, is les there? it's sandy. -well, i owe him some money, and you know how he is. florida? oh shoot, i'd so love to talk to him. you think you got his number down there? thanks a bunch. -bye. boca raton. sport fishing. what do you know? a parole violation. -i don't do things like this. i'm a professional. no muss, no fuss, no murder. you can check my rap sheet. we looked in that doctor's bag of tricks the boca raton police got off you. -slap jacks, brass knuckles-- all of which are illegal, by the way. my client collects those for entertainment purposes only. he'd never actually hit anybody with them. then mr. dupont must have bumped into your client's brass knuckles because they match the bruises on his body. we're all grown-ups here. -you have one chance to take your chestnuts out of the fire and tell us who hired you, or go down for this all by yourself. roy markham got my name from his driver. he told me some guy ripped off him and his friends. markham told me to go to this hotel room, the guy would be there. they sent me to reason with him. -but the guy head-butts me, makes for the door, so i gotta knock him down. it took me a little while to get control of the situation but when i did, i asked him where the money was, he kept saying he didn't know. about a half hour later he passed out. it was time to quit. i left. -he was still breathing. i did not kill him, i did not break an ashtray on his face. you said it took a while for you to get things under control. this guy was fighting you? -oh, yeah. from the get-go. you know, i think he liked to fight. might've had a little training. is this the guy you beat up? -no. yeah, that's the guy. felix perez. who's perez? that's the guy you beat up. -the wrong guy. somebody tipped dupont off, so he put perez in the room to get the beating meant for him. he came back after leslie roche left, finished off perez, disfigured him and left him unidentifiable. do we even know dupont's real identity? we sent the prints from his apartment to france. -no hits yet. so now he's free to disappear. while the people he conned take the rap for his murder. uh, there's a chance he's still around. he's flamboyant and narcissistic. -he's going to want to be where he can witness his handiwork. oh, and he still has two million bucks stashed somewhere. so then it's just a question of flushing him out. the moment that he has an inkling that we're on to him, he's gone. we need to maintain his sense of security. -so what are you suggesting? charge markham and his friends with dupont's murder. charge them for a murder they didn't commit of a person who isn't dead? i can't begin to count the number of violations that would entail. mr. carver, this man dupont, or whatever his name is, has had us chasing our tails for the last couple of weeks. -i don't know about you, but i do not like being made a fool of payback is the healthy human response here. well, i suppose mr. roche could be lying and he did kill the man at the hotel room. and since the identity of the deceased is still a matter of conjecture, it's entirely proper that we charge them with the murder of john doe, aka, denis dupont. meantime, we give this to the papers. -the bigger the headlines the better. we want dupont to take the hook. the people charged in the murder of denis dupont include financier; ron markham; his wife, hat designer; -sydney markham; real estate developer, bernard cove and his wife... didier, why are you hiding here? i always hated that picture- it doesn't even look like you. -come on now, i have someone i want you to meet. quentin, this is my boyfriend, didier. he's opening the nightclub i was telling you about. simone, you had girl, i told you not to talk about it. i only did it because quentin is so nice. -he's looking for a place to... how do you say it? "park your money"? yes. i have to be honest with you, i'm not really looking for investors. -may i ask... did you get this suit at savile row? well, yes. i was just in london for some meetings. i get very intrigued by a man who doesn't want my money. -so, tell me about your club, huh? not guilty. not guilty. not guilty. not guilty. -not guilty. people on bail? a million dollars each, your honor. such high bail, your honor, when the charges are patently ridiculous. there's no motive for any murder. -the monies my clients paid mr. dupont were venture capital, with no expectation of repayment. your honor, they make $2 million gifts to perfect strangers and here they are squawking about bail. your protestations do sound hollow, mr. bascomb. bail is set at a million for each defendant. next! -docket number 3922, people v. nanette cohn. charge is two counts of larceny... my client, mrs. markham, wants to talk. an right. i warned denis. -my husband put this scheme in motion to get our money back, but i couldn't go through with it. so i called him... from my showroom. i told him that they were sending a man over to his hotel. i told him he should leave. i don't understand why he didn't. -since she renunciated the plan, she's off the hook for the murder. i'll consider it. mrs. markham, were you and mr. dupont lovers? briefly. and you knew he wasn't who he claimed to be? -yes, before my husband or any of the others. but you didn't care? no. to see someone like him trick my husband and his friends... someone like him, what do you mean? -he was raised in an orphanage. my father owned a grocery store. i know what it's like to climb up. we were very good friends. well, how'd he show it? -like my hat business. roy called it a money drain, a hobby. but denis made me take it seriously. he helped me develop a business plan. he organized my books. -organized your books? yes. he believed in me. mrs. markham brought him in a couple of months ago like he was some kind of business god. he didn't know a line sheet from an order form. -did he ask about any banking information-- routing numbers, that sort of thing? no. but he asked for the articles of incorporation and the corporate seal. did he say why? no. -i know he kept them overnight. i don't know what for. to open a bank account, for one thing. this letter from the irs, you know anything about it? it's a tax lien. -tax lien? it's dated three weeks ago. mode o'day hats, $65,000 in unpaid payroll taxes. with penalties and interest, it comes to $90,000. -your letter said that you already seized that money from the bank account. but the bank said that they have no record of seizure. well, they should. nissei bank-- whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not their bank. -well, we found an account there under their name. it opened two months ago. how much in the account? as of two weeks ago, $1,865,000. -the account's frozen until we get a notarized release stating they accept our findings of a tax delinquency. a notarized release signed by whom? mode o'day's sole shareholder-- mr. sydney markham. once we get it, it takes a couple of weeks to process. until then, the account's frozen like winter in siberia. -i explained all of this to mr. markham. you spoke to him? yes, twice. he even came in, he was so insistent to clear up the problem. if only they were all like that. -is this mr. markham? yes. he thought he had the perfect place to hide his money, but he didn't count on the internal revenue service. neither did ai capone. we still have some time. -he has to phony up some id for the notary, and then there's the turnaround time for the irs. two weeks. if we haven't found him by then, we're not letting that money go. we can stall for a few days, but the minute he picks up our scent, he'll scoot. you've got your work cut out. -what's the plan? engage his ego. ah. he was a confidence man with too much confidence. he overestimated his own charisma and died a fool. -is that good for you, tom? perfect. thanks, bobby. isn't that santini from the "ledger"? yeah. -don't worry, i mentioned your name. i'm going jogging. what's wrong? what do you care what they think? it's done. -you get that stupid paper signed, you come back to rio with me and i'll make you forget these people. where is your phone? here. i'll get you some food on the way back, okay? yes, i would like to place an international call, person-to-person. -the number is 212-555-0109. yes, new york. tom santini. my name is denis dupont. he said he was very much alive. -he wouldn't tell me where he was, but the operator said the call originated from a cell phone prefix from rio de janeiro. what else did he say? he didn't consider himself a criminal. he was on a holy mission to cure the rich of their greed. he was very funny about it. -what's funny is we've had half a dozen people call claiming to be dennis dupont. really? this guy had a french accent. they all had french accents. quote me. "detective goren says that dennis dupont is dead." -done. it'll be in tomorrow's paper. goren. detective goren, pleasure to put a voice to the name. who's this? -this is the man you call dupont. you're going to have to do better than that. i get a lot of crank calls. it's such a shame what they did to my friend felix. they killed him so brutally. -and i'm sold, mr. dupont. or-- or do you want to tell me your real name? dupont seems to open so many doors. not this one. i'm going to hang up now, whatever your name is. -wait, wait, wait. why not? there is no intimacy without trust. my name is didier-- a common enough name. -a common name for an uncommon beginning. you were an orphan, isn't that right? no, my parents were alive but unable to care for me. it's a very different thing. if they were dead, they'd have had a better excuse. -hey, what was it like being in an orphanage with all those kids nobody wanted? must've been hard to be special. i was special. you don't know what you're talking about. maybe you're special now, but back then you were abandoned. -you were a ward of the state just like thousands of other poor kids. i was not poor. i was only in an orphanage a very short time. didier, you don't have to be ashamed. i'm not ashamed. -i can't believe we're even talking about this. well, we can talk about anything you like. let's talk about... how far you've come, considering you were raised in some state orphanage with bad food, bad hygiene, abuse-- was there a lot of abuse? i told you i was not raised there. -the authorities in my canton returned me to my parents. i'm sure your parents are impressed with everything that you've accomplished. or maybe they don't care. this is intolerable. i don't know how you people make a living out of sheer stupidity! -you made a mistake about me, mr. goren. that's all i wanted to let you know. do we have the fingerprints for mr. dupont over there? what's up? i just got a call from our dead frenchman. -he said his "canton" gave him back to his parents. cantons are the equivalent of states. he's not french, he's swiss. the swiss police got a hit on the prints. didier foucault, 33, aliases up the wazoo. -convictions for fraud, check kiting, no record of violence. last stretch was 7 years ago-- he served 6 months. the swiss faxed us everything they had on foucault's early years. being swiss, that probably includes his dirty nappies. contrary to what he told us, he was in an orphanage run by nuns from age four to 15. -he was never adopted. his mother was a prostitute. he had medical problems right through his childhood. that's good, but we still have to find him. well, 10 to 1 he'll call back. -he has something to prove to me now. 10 to 1? i've taken him on before, mr. carver. i'm down 18 bucks. from dr. steven pitt-- -"orphans live with a perpetual sense of shame." "some overcompensate through achievement," "some mollify their pain through substance abuse," "and some invent complex fantasies with over-idealized parents." "taken to an extreme, these individuals develop" -"into pseudologia fantastica-- impostors—" "who, when confronted with evidence of their fraud" "erupt in a rage," "and will go to any length to persuade their audience" "that their fantasy is true." -he'll call. he could be using an alias. leonard rochefoucault... goren, line four. i'll call you back. -goren. detective goren, hello. i wanted to apologize for losing my temper during our last conversation. hey, i understand. your childhood's a sore subject. -i don't take it personally. i'm not the kind of person who loses his temper. i was raised with good manners. you mean at the orphanage? who raised you? -civil servants? priests? nuns? what did you do when you wanted somebody to hold you, to comfort you? hmm, didier? -did you make yourself sick and run to the nurse? what are you talking about? kids like you, abandoned kids, are hypochondriacs. this is where you have it all wrong. my upbringing taught me how to survive. -you survived by pretending to be other people. i survived because i was superior. i am always three steps ahead. these people you conned, you weren't three steps ahead of them. you got out by the skin of your teeth. -but i got out. only by killing felix perez. you screwed up, didier. you think what you want. i think you're living up to your breeding. -i'll bet your parents were crooks or drug addicts. i'll bet your dad pimped out your mom! you stupid cop! you have no idea! no idea! -i have an idea you're terrified of going to prison. it'd be like going back to the orphanage. prison is nothing. oh, of course. you've been to prison. -another mistake made by idiots like you. but i didn't care. it was a vacation. do you know how long it took me to get special privileges in prison? less than 24 hours. -what's a special privilege in a prison? a tick-infested pillow? fresh fruit, caipirinhas, women-- anything i wanted. i had the guards like a... palm in a fist. -drugs? drugs? see how you think? you see the pedestrian level of your intellect? it's the trouble with you police-- so many guns, so little brains. -you think you'd make a good detective? i think i'd make the very best detective. do you know why? i understand human nature. you might profit from such a study, detective goren. -caipirinhas. he was in prison in brazil. two years ago, he served eight months for credit card fraud in brazil. he was arrested at a rio airport with a girlfriend, simone dasilva, a brazilian national. -the cell phone from rio. we figure he's here with her. we're calling the hotels looking for a registration under her name. our boy's been keeping himself busy. the irs got the notarized release from him. -we're pulling in the notary-- we found the girl. soho east, room 1216. i'll handle the warrants. is that you? -i was just going down to the bar-- get your hands on the back of your head! sit down! sit down! i got her. -you have bitters and soda? i'm trying to quit drinking. maybe happy hour isn't the best place for you. well, at least i can smoke. nice to put a face to a voice. -you have the wrong man. i don't think so. bail is denied. next case. people versus didier foucault, -murder in the second degree, larceny in the first degree. how do you plead, mr. foucault? not guilty, sir. people on bail? we want him remanded to custody, your honor. -your honor, my client's friends stand ready to put up any bail amount to insure his appearance. these so-called friends are his victims. he doesn't care about their money. he was arrested with a ticket for brazil and passports bearing 3 different identities. now if there was ever a flight risk, he's it. -thank you, mr. carver. bail is denied. the defendant is remanded to custody pending trial. next case. docket number 4604. -people v. christine chen. one count child abuse. try telling them they're victims. don't tell me you feel sorry for this guy? nah. -someone to teach you how to ride a bike, two people that think you're special? it makes a difference. some people get by on a lot less. they shouldn't have to. e. r. -previously on e. r. there she is. that's my daughter. hi, mom. i can't have you here. -i told you that last time. i can't do it anymore. how long has she been bipolar?

uh, for frosty chocolate milk shakes! frosty chocolate milk shakes! an award ceremony erupted in kidnapping tonight... as alleged good guy homer simpson absconded with several children... in a stolen paddy wagon. now let's go to arnie pie in the sky. -i can see them right below me. i'm gonna try to nail the driver with one of my shoes. arnie, please leave this to the police. i'm sick of being a reporter. i want to make the news! -arnie, this is not the time! you're not the time, kent! you're not the time! where are we going, mr. simpson? i'll tell you where we're not going. -jail! then you better turn. uh-oh! aaah! he's jumping out of the car, kent! -he's trying to climb over the fence! now he's realizing he's too fat. he's digging a hole like a dog. now he's given up on that and he's running back and forth. he's climbing into a pipe and he seems to be stuck. -his legs are dangling in a comical fashion. oh, it's the saddest thing i've ever seen. arnie, arnie, how are the children? i can't see through metal, kent! all right, fatty. -out of the pipe! why did you rat me out, kids? was it because i showered love on those other children while ignoring you? yep. pretty much. -well, i learned my lesson. from now on, you two are the only kids i'll care about. oh, and maggie. now let's all enjoy the snack table while we still have it. the teamsters said they'd pick it up by 5:00. -yeah. that'll happen. teamsters. teamsters. pokémon?

-i'd shoot him between the eyes, if not for procedure. christ... calm down. i won't hurt you. you're on his side. -you should've told me. i'm not on any side. i came to meet your boss because he threatened you. how could i be with him? you came to me. -the microphones. microphones? my boss was spying on me. listen... you agreed with him. -i agreed? when he called me crazy, you turned around. i saw your reaction. how much did he pay you? who? -how much did bruneau buy you for? you're not well. you're really not well, mr. gagnon. mr. gagnon, we both agree. your boss and everyone is against you. i'm not. -so? he's dead. do we strap the trophy to the roof? morgue's on the way. mayrand? -inside with the redhead. goddamn it. get ready. cover me. want me to try? -go for it. sir... sir... what's going on? etienne, you okay? -i'm fine. first impression? it's like a breakdown. deep depression or paranoiac episode. could he just be scum? -dufour... yeah? did you warn johnson? no time. he flew down to the states. -to the states? what for? beats me. to see disney world? if you talk about me, i'll kill him. -of course we're talking about you. you're aiming a gun at a police officer. we're wondering what's going on. talk to us. i have nothing to say. -no threats, nothing? not ever? you, ma'am? gagnon wasn't easygoing, but we tolerated his quirks. he was so talented... i never thought he could kill someone. -he's a loner. he's weird. but to do what he did... bright? very intelligent. -but not at this cost. richard bruneau was my friend. i... this is a nightmare. i don't believe it. -do you know that gagnon filed a complaint against his victim? hold on. ready? yes. let's go slowly. -one, two, three, go. we won't do anything. i'll just get closer so we can talk. who are you? my name is anne fortier. -officers mayrand and dufour. we work with etienne. don't you remember seeing them at the sas? could be. let's calm down and clear things up. -is he dead? they don't come any deader. tell me what happened. he wanted to kill me. that's why i was here. -let's be logical. we know how to shoot. we're two-against-one. hand over the gun. let's talk like adults. -hold him, parent! okay, he's out cold. you okay, kid? yeah. are you all right? -fill out the report. we'll meet you there. boss's office. it all starts there. 10-4. -we're taking him in. we'll give you a tour of the station. i'll die there. you won't die. i'm diabetic. -my insulin's in my office. where exactly? top drawer on the left. jean-marie. hey, come on... -would you bring my coat? yeah, right. you want a sandwich with that? here's your medication. is that it? -come on. let's go. all right, let me go. i want to talk to him. not now. -but he's my husband. they'll kill him. they'll kill him! ma'am... no one's going to kill anyone. -it's over. they took the gun. not you people. his partners. he's not crazy. -they'll kill him. sit down. they'll kill him? pierre's a genius. his ideas drive expertex. -they want to cash in on his ideas. we're at the end of our rope. they'll make millions. couldn't they buy him out instead of killing him? if they can put $10,000 on someone's head, what would they do for millions? -we'll take care of you. are you okay? judging from his wife, they're a strange couple. either she's as delirious as he, or his partners are nuts. order a medical. -psychiatric? the works. your house is clean. i'd like to talk about your husband. you don't have to... but if you want to help him... -fernand... get down. lie down. good. nice dog, fernand. -don't look at me like that. you know i'm shy. shyness is a serious problem. i can never catch fortier to discuss it. relax a bit. -you're too uptight. when i relax, i fall in love. so, what's the problem? i panic. i... i don't know what to do... i'm just a lawyer. what happens now? -he'll be charged with murder. and i'll be left alone. do you find living alone hard? it's not fair. i don't believe it. -what's not fair? they wanted to kill us. who did? pierre's partners. jacques marsolais, josée archambault. -the other one was the worst. the dead guy? do you have the latest documents on dugas? you didn't get them? not fortier's report. -hi. hi suzanne. cute as ever. still reeling them in. they're jealous of you. -who's that guy? he just killed his boss. thanks. have you been married long? twelve years. -do you work? you work... you work here. i write. what do you do? -really? a novel. what's it called? the beast. can i see it? -it's not finished. did he discuss his intentions with you? who? your husband. you knew about bruneau? -he didn't want to kill him. we were scared. of his partners? yes. were you threatened? -i prefer you ask pierre that. did they threaten you? talk to pierre. pierre decides? does pierre pay your share? -does he support you? what right have you to ask me that? i'm just trying to understand. i understand. you believe them, not us. -i've never even met them. i can feel it in your questions. it doesn't matter what they did to you. true or false, the fact is that your husband killed someone in the presence of a police officer. it wasn't self-defense. -i was there. pierre went off the deep end. i don't believe you. i don't believe you. i don't believe you. -what do you think? frightfully dependent. frightful in what way? i can't say until i see him, but she's fragile. you won't share your diagnosis? -f-60.31 in the dsm-4. go ahead. make fun of me. i'm not. that's really it. -i didn't memorize your manual. okay. fear of abandonment, identity disorder, easily influenced, dependent, i already mentioned and impulsive. so if we get nothing on gagnon, maybe she... yeah, maybe. -did you forget something? no, i was thinking of gagnon. hurry. what? hurry. -mrs. gagnon? break in. come on! do i have to do it? i'll do it. -goddamn. mrs. gagnon! use your gun. mrs. gagnon... where the hell is she? -mrs. gagnon... mrs. gagnon... etienne, call 9-1 -1 . christ. cpl. parent, sas. -send an ambulance to 1277 foucher. look, here comes your psychologist. she'll make you feel better. you're eager to see her. me too. -hello, my doggie. it took you a while. where were you? playing golf. figures. -we were at the hospital. mrs. gagnon swallowed her medicine cabinet. how's it going with him? it's a deadlock. i'll check it out. -watch him for 10 minutes? what am i, the spca? well... come on fernand. let's take a walk and go pee. -come on. the boss is out. i can't. does he have a lawyer? it's not an auction. take a number. -can i see him? he didn't ask for a lawyer. could you ask him? christ. are you going to hang around all day? -could you recommend someone... it's for therapy. suze, later. i don't have a problem. what's wrong? he won't let me see gagnon. -is he your client? he wishes. he seems to think it's a police auction. i just want to offer my services. did you... -hold on. excuse me. the guy's a real pain. did gagnon talk? the same nonsense. -you've seen paranoiacs. what do you think? he's a classic case. so, it's not revenge in the guise of insanity? are you joking? -you saw him. i just wanted to hear it from you. why do you think i blocked savaria? he didn't ask for a lawyer. we read him his rights. -until he asks, i'm not letting perry mason get to him. do you have his cv? gagnon has a master's in electrical engineering. he's been at expertex for 12 years. married, no kids. -an only child. his mother's dead. a spotless record. not even a traffic ticket. medical history? -nothing psychiatric. but he is diabetic. he has diabetes? yeah. does it matter? -just watch he doesn't have an episode. anything else? nothing vital. i'll take him. i'll take the other one. -why do you always wash your hands? dirty hands give me the shivers. the shivers? yeah. like fingernails on a blackboard... -right. that's how it feels, so i wash them. this may sound silly, but did you ever try not to? i feel uncomfortable. in what way? -you won't tell anyone? i'm no stool-pigeon. i'm afraid something will happen. what's the worst that could happen? i don't know. -anything. something bad. the cracks in the sidewalk... sometimes i avoid them. you're crazier than i thought. -if you judge me, i won't confide in you. the world won't fall apart if your hands are dirty. you're nuts. i was born this way. you washed your hands when you were born? -you're good. don't look at me like that. know what the boss is doing? do you want to know? come on. -i'll try it alone, but... stick around. the proof that i'm not double-crossing you: the microphone is on. everything said here is being recorded. what'll happen to me now? -do you have a lawyer? they need a lawyer, not me. mr. gagnon... remember, you killed someone. your partners didn't. -i spoke to your wife. she's at the hospital. she tried to commit suicide. that's impossible. they must have tried to poison her. -mr. gagnon, i was there. she swallowed pills. they pumped her stomach in time. it's time we started telling the truth. don't you think? -will you believe me? i want to believe you. but you'll have to be convincing. i understand your problem clearly. but let's take it from another angle. -you said your partners wanted to harm you. we'll question them. do you trust me? i trust no one. how can i gain your trust? -make them confess. fine. what's your decision? i don't know. any suggestions, anne? -why do you use my first name? do you mind? it's just new. you have a certain manner with me. you're afraid? -why should i be? sure no one's spying on you? for what reason? i don't know. to control you, maybe. -control me? my secrets are no one's business. your secrets? we're getting off track. i was asking... -you said you had secrets. no, i... i meant "secrets" in a broad sense. you said "my" secrets. how can i trust you if you don't even realize what you say? mr. gagnon, you're under arrest. -we're here to discuss your motives. i mention your secrets and you're no longer a psychologist? you're a police officer? what is it? not another cat. -get inside. now! hello. how are you this morning? who gave you my address? -the sas. can i come in? well, if it isn't gabriel! have a good trip? it's always hairy over new york. -nothing compared to here. the paranoiac who killed his boss? parent almost prevented the murder. i knew the kid had potential. anything else? -things are rolling along. what about you? what about me? we were wondering... what's up in the states? griffin sent me to see the fbi. -just a social call. where are you off to? the murder scene. come see me afterwards. do you believe him? -sure, but i believe rita. gagnon was a patient of mine. at the hospital? a private patient. i saw him 4 or 5 times, 10 years ago. -his wife's in my ward. i'm about to release her. you don't like us coming to your house? none of that, please. gratuitous psychoanalysis... -you're secretive. discreet. i don't mix work and my private life. you intrigue me. not on purpose. -to each his own. we could work together if you like. you wouldn't be alone. you really want to help me? yes. -wait for me in the car. i'll change, then we'll go get mrs. gagnon together. they got over it quickly. i don't like them much. did the techies find anything? -seems like he used his office for more than just work. did the girl leave any traces? unfortunately not. i'll take a taxi. i didn't come so you could take a taxi. -what's she doing here? that's dr. ross. i know. she said pierre was crazy. i never called him crazy. -your husband had problems some time ago. but it seems he is. you don't tell the truth. mrs. gagnon... i didn't release you so you could slip away. i'm under arrest? -i'm a psychologist, not a police officer. surely you can remember you tried to kill yourself. come with me and we'll see what's really going on. and if i don't? you'll miss a chance to see your husband. -come on. mayrand. that guy. would you lend him $100? i'll bet you $20 he's not as sad as he pretends. -he does look pretty happy. they're through mourning. speaking of which... my cousin's an undertaker. had his wife cremated. -really? her family gave him the cold shoulder. quit kidding around. who's he? how should i know? -i'm no private detective. that's it. let's go. take care of her, please. mr. gagnon... -we didn't finish last time. would you mind answering my questions? i'll see your wife afterwards. do you know what i believe... deep in my heart? you need to get treatment. -sometimes you lose touch with reality. dr. ross told me. no one wants to kill you. i don't believe you. so, do you want to talk to me? -what can you tell me so i can help you? seriously... something in your life led up to this. i spoke to mr. gagnon. i'm taking the case. -you again? is this a running joke? excuse us. i have carte blanche because of the lemires. johnson's more reasonable than mayrand. -if he wants you... he's clearly not responsible. it's just his motive that's murky. insanity always is. i'll go see his wife. -gagnon was already paranoid when i met him. so what? knowing the facts will save time in court. problem is, we can't hold court in this office. certainly not. -doctor, thanks for your help. we'll take it from here. how long will you hold him? we'll just take his prints and he can go. at the very least, he should be confined in a security ward. -i'm so pleased we've become friends, but you're going a bit too far. this feeling of invasion is giving me a rash. why? we're dealing with the human aspect. we'll deal with technicalities when we get there. -it's okay. i'll handle it. fortier. db-00p122. interview with justine lampron, wife of gagnon. i'm recording our conversation. -what you say will be used in the investigation. investigation? your husband is accused, not you. i'm after the context. i want to know what happened. -until i have fortier's report, i can't say where we're going with this. with what? with the charges. fortier may not be qualified. has she dealt with paranoiacs often? -with all due respect, i don't need you to manage my squad. thank you. you knew pierre had psychiatric problems? what do you mean by psychiatric problems? do you know what paranoia is? -pierre's not paranoid. what do you think i'm saying? that pierre has persecution mania. that's my opinion, and dr. ross's as well. he was her patient years ago. -but you knew that. we discussed it. okay. do you see why we're not pursuing pierre's partners? because you don't know them. -so you think killing andré bruneau was... self-defense? i'd say so. do you have proof? of what? the conspiracy? -self-defense means your life is at risk. they wanted to get rid of pierre and keep the profits. who? bruneau, jacques marsolais, josée archambault. -to the point of killing him? yes. do you have proof that your husband's life was at risk? proof? the difference between something real and something imaginary is proof. -no, i don't. cigarette? yes. is your job difficult? not with an education. -you're at the top of your field? i was doing all right. why'd you stay there? where? at your company. -why didn't you sell your ideas elsewhere? i had a 10-year contract, shares, a no-competition clause. i was trapped. you could've just slacked off. it's not my style. -i love my job too much to be dishonest. so you're honest, but you're in deep trouble. i prefer that to letting them use me. concrete proof? no. -but the looks... the allusions, disappearing documents... they spied on us. the partners? yes. so... you would've done the same. -i think so. you're not helping. i do what i can. i know. look, ma'am... -most sincerely, i understand nothing. it's not clear? you'd rather believe the others. it's not that. -you just don't give me any reason to believe you. if i told you... the police keep files on us. on everyone who works here. i don't know if i should tell you. we're under constant surveillance, even now. -they watch us. they listen. we're constantly under stress. if i fail with you, they'll punish me. i can't live like this anymore. -help me. help me find the hidden microphones. would you help me? please. why not? -i don't believe you. what's so funny? now do you understand why i can't believe you? your husband is paranoid, but you're not. tell me what's happening. -let's save time. my kit? what kit? my insulin. oh, yeah. -thank you. i can't. can you do it? wait. do it for me. -come here, jean-marie. you're not allowed to. it's insulin, not heroin. you're not allowed. can't let him get sick. -okay, keep still. let mommy give you your shot. you're not a paranoiac. paranoia's not for everyone, believe me. you are easily influenced, however. -it's like you'd never question your husband. the partners wanted him dead. how was he with you? i love my husband. does he help around the house? -he works a lot. what do you do? i have master's in literature. i write. what do you write? -novels. have you published? i've sent in a manuscript. i'm waiting. what's it about? -you really care? a girl abused by her stepmother. cinderella? kind of. but more literary. -she suffers through the novel. it comes from within. she creates a fantasy world to cope with reality. suzanne! call 9-1 -1 ! -hurry! excuse me. stay here. what's going on? he wanted his insulin. -christ. he just dropped. he's dead. why are 13,000 miles of lipstick sold each year? what will each of us do more than 3,000 times in our lives? -why are 4,000 gallons of after-shave used every day? what burns a quarter of a million calories in our lifetime? and what will 240 million people be doing tonight? it all boils down to one thing. what is it? -having sex. the instinct to have sex is one of the most potent we possess. it´s vital if we´re to produce the next generation. we´ve inherited this powerful urge to find a mate and have children... from millions of generations of ancestors. what is it about the way we look? -the way we smell? and what we possess that can attract the ideal mate? and what forces drive us to jealousy and revenge? men and women share the same basic desire... to have sex and produce children... but our bodies are very different... and that means we seek out very different qualities... in our perfect partners. to reveal the differences between the way... men and women view potential sexual partners... we´ve come to a university campus in london. -in a secret filming experiment... we´re equipping two actors, charlie and danny... with hidden cameras and concealed microphones. if you drop that down your top... down? that´s it. their mission, mingle amongst the unsuspecting students... then proposition them with a rather straightforward chat up line. -i´ve noticed you round campus. you´re very good looking... would you sleep with me tonight? i see what i´ve got to say. now all they have to do is to approach complete strangers... and see how many will say yes. i´ve seen you around campus, i think you´re very attractive. -would you like to sleep with me tonight? are you kidding? no. is this a joke? it´s not a joke. -do me a favour. what? no? is that a no? this has been really, really effective. -i was wondering if you want to sleep with me tonight? no, thank you very much. i don´t think so. no, i will never, i´m really sorry. no. -no, thanks. i´ve seen you around... this experiment was first carried out at florida state university. no. it was part of a study to find out... if there really was a fundamental difference... in men and women´s attitude to casual sex. -no thank. is there any chance at all? no. their results were clear-cut. out of scores of women asked... -you´ve got to be mad. no, i´m just asking not one said yes to sex when asked by a stranger. she said no. what´s wrong with me? so what was the story when it came to men? -i´ve noticed you around... i find you very attractive. i´ve noticed you around campus and i think you´re really attractive... am i? would you sleep with me tonight? yeah, sure, why not? -would you go to bed with me? i´ve noticed you around campus and i think you´re really attractive... would you sleep with me tonight? yes. yeah. -would you sleep with me tonight? yeah. in the florida experiment 3 out of 4 men... said yes to sex with a woman they´d never met before. would you sleep with me tonight? absolutely. -i´ve finished my exams so it would be an ideal time. no. why not? got exams tomorrow. you´ve got exams tomorrow? -yeah. if you didn´t have an exam? i would do, yes. what´s particularly interesting is... only half the men agreed to go out for coffee. our results were very similar. -charlie got several yes´s. yeah, maybe. but not one woman agreed to sleep with danny despite his best efforts. i was just wondering would you like to come to bed with me basically? no, are you mad? -no, sorry. no. no? so despite contraception and greater equality... men and women´s behaviour is radically different... when it comes to sex... and there´s a simple biological reason why. in the human species it all boils down to one basic and inescapable fact. -it´s the woman who carries the baby. in the time it takes for a mother to produce one child... a man can father hundreds of them. the world record by a moroccan emperor is 888 children. this massive difference in producing a child... starts here in our bodies. this is an ovum. -it´s one of the largest cells in a woman´s body... and during her entire lifetime she may release only 400 of them. by contrast the sperm is the smallest cell... and in a typical ejaculation a man can release 300 million. the average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks... and in that time a woman will burn up an extra 80,000 calories... the same as running 30 marathons. for a man making a baby can take less time than boiling an egg... and it can take less energy. so with such a huge difference in investment... it´s easy to see... why women are instinctively more selective than men... when it comes to having sex. -with such different outlooks, getting together can be a tricky business. every animal has its own approach. for us it´s dating. debbie wolff is going out on a blind date. what ´s she looking for? -my name´s debbie i have just turned 30. i live near brighton, i live alone. my ideal man would be someone like jk from jamiriqui. someone a bit cheeky a bit lad about town. i guess somebody who i think would stand up for me and... you know, look out for me... someone who you can just have a bit of a laugh with really... -her date for the evening is harry. my name is harry shiers, i´m 39 years old, single... and i´m a dentist practising in the west end of london. i think my ideal date would probably involve music... classical, probably a concert... dinner, not of a specified type... wine... that would be a great date i think. debbie harry may not seem an obvious match. -once they set eyes on each other, their instincts might surprise them. i know when i´m attracted to someone instantly... go pass them on a bus, in a shop... in a restaurant, instantly. finding someone attractive is sub conscious... so, it´s probably instantaneous. so what underlines sexual attraction, it´s a fascinating mixture of factors... but science is beginning to tease out some of them. -at the outset it´s physical appearance that counts... and yet again men and women are looking for very different qualities. women want the best for their baby, and that includes the best genes. so how do they spot them? it turns out that if us men want to be a real hit with the ladies... we have to pay close attention to geometry. because science has revealed that a man´s body shape... is one good predictor of how healthy and attractive his children will be. -so a pear shape isn´t much of a turn on. but... show women the classic upside down triangle shape... and the response is very different. the most important factors in making a man´s body attractive... are a narrow waist with a broad chest and shoulders. and that´s no coincidence. these signal both physical strength and a good immune system. -in a primitive world of early humans that meant good genes... making a man with an inverted triangle shape like this... a genetic catch. so when a woman sees a man´s body... it seems her instincts are assessing his genes... and ultimately what kind of baby he´ll produce. right from the outset of puberty... girls know what to look for in a man... as their sexual instincts begin to emerge. the ideal man has to be strong... i´d like them to be slightly taller than me. good looking. -really good looking. like brad pitt. kind of strong. yeah, i like not blonde... coming to me if i´m in danger. -like tom cruise. yeah. i want boys who have muscley six packs, yeah. and what about the boys? what do they find attractive? -these 1 1 and 12 year olds are just on the threshold of becoming men. girls seem more attractive if they have bigger ones. big bosoms. bigger breasts. go on say it! -big bosoms. if they have small boobs then it´s like not that fun to be with them. bosoms, it´s a funny word. the ideal body shape for a woman is curvy, a curvy body. not fat but not skinny. -in and out, not straight. the female hourglass shape is attractive to men of all cultures... so why is it so powerful? it says one thing... i´m fertile. young girls have small hips and no breasts... -they basically go straight up and down. but with the onset of puberty their hips start to widen.... and their breasts begin to develop. it´s a signal that menstrual cycles have begun... and that they could become pregnant. this change of shape may be subtle, but it´s extremely potent. and that´s a big difference between the sexes. -men aren´t just primed to seek good genes. their instincts are on the look out for fertility as well. both men and women want to make healthy babies. and that means babies with a robust immune system that fights off disease. each of us passes the ability to fight some diseases... to our children in our genes... -and our instincts prime us to choose a mate... with a very different immune system to our own. why? because that way our children get the best chance of fighting illness. when it comes to these genes, opposites attract. these instincts are being tested at newcastle university. -the t-shirts worn by these women are about to be sniffed. the subjects of the test have had their blood tested for six genes... that reveal what type of immune system they have. if all six of the man´s genes match all six of a woman´s... that´s bad. he should find her smell unappealing... because our children are likely to be less healthy. but if only one or two genes match that´s good. -the man should find her smell attractive because... it would mean that their children would be naturally more healthy. each woman has slept in the t-shirt over 2 nights... so it should be really smelly. the t-shirts have been put in a sealed bag and kept in a freezer. then they´re placed in a jar. scientist, craig roberts, wants the sniffing to begin. -what we will do now is give you the t-shirts... that the women have been wearing. i find it very difficult to believe this is going to work, but i´ll try it. okay. come on, okay. and i´ve got to sniff this? -if you can bear it. okay. it´s not quite as bad as i expected. welcome back. oh, my god. -what happened? not a whole hell of a lot. oh, my god. are you kidding me? our wedding night? -oh. i am a bad wife. no. no. no, no, no. -i got some frostbite in some very weird places. you've got your whole life to make it up to me. and i'm gonna start right now. yeah? ok. -oh, my god, i'm gonna be sick. just give me a minute, baby. no, no, no! there's no rush. no rush. -i gotta stop by the office before we leave for barbados. you can freshen up. just let me give you a quick kiss goodbye. no, no, no, no! that's ok. -that's ok. i-i-i'm late. i'll see you in an hour, maybe two. what the...? ! -nice security. sorry, boss. i went to bed late last night. but it's nothing compared to you, huh? yeah. -is the mercedes ready? yeah. just about. we switched the vin and... wendy's making the pink slip for you to sign. -that's a great wedding present, boss. angela's going to go nuts for it, huh? not as nuts as she was last night, huh? huh? hey, boss, was she worth the wait? -come on, boss... hey! we're talking about my wife! a man's wedding night is his own private sacred business. it's not to entertain lowlife scum like yous guys. -angela's got to be an animal. he's even walking funny. hey, back to work. break is over, guys. oh, congratulations, mr c. -i heard the wedding was awesome. i'm almost through with the docs on the mercedes. thanks, wendy. oh, boy. oh, boy. -you need to sign here, and i think... here. is it hard? what? getting married. i haven't been here long, but i've heard stories about you and women. -well, those days are all over, wendy. forever. it's... thank you. damn it. -here, let me help you. mr cumanno! i'm sorry! i'm so sorry, wendy. i'm so sorry. -i'm just nuts today. i can't, i can't, i can't, i can't. i'm married, wendy. i can't. you're right. -i'm sorry. screw it. oh, yeah. oh, yeah. ok. -ok. oh, my god. thanks. is that frostbite? it's fine! -piss off! baby, it's me. shit! get out. take the back stairs. -my hair's stuck. what? ! dean? honey. -i was feeling so much better, i wanted to pick up where we left off. that's great. you know what? i'll finish here. i'll meet you outside in a sex...sec. -ok. i love you. i love you too. you look pretty. come on. -ow! not so fast. you are not welcome down there. i'm trying! i can't believe it. -is that mercedes for...? dean. honey, this isn't what it looks like. i swear. her hair got stuck in my zipper. -i wasn't getting nothing. 17 hours! we have been married 17 hours! the happiest 17 hours of my life. you just lost the best thing you never had! -angela, wait! she seems...nice. my client has agreed, against my advice, to settle for a one time cash payment. $300,000. for one day? -one horribly traumatic day in which my client suffered irreparable psychological damage to her self-esteem. oh, and she keeps the mercedes. what? bullshit. we can drag it before a judge if you think that would be more favourable. -that would put your client's business under scrutiny. what was it again, mr cumanno? random repossessions? give her what she wants. i can't believe you wore the grey dress. -i distinctly said the blue. it worked, didn't it? you were lucky. i was good. excuse me. -i wonder if i could ask your help for a moment. i'm trying to find route 40. route 40? well, you're on it. that's it. -what? where is it? there. that black thing with the lines on it. oh, i'm so sorry. -i didn't know where it was. thank you so much. my pleasure. sorry to trouble you. forget it. -you're not going to kill yourself and stink up my new car. our new car. hey, mom! i only do these things because i love you, page. how was the wedding? -beautiful. like all my weddings. you have any idea what that meat is doing to your arteries? haven't you heard? cigarettes dissolve cholesterol. -no cards, page. this is a classy place. it relaxes me. so? how did we do? -not too bad. how not too bad? about 80. plus the car. that's it? -for that i lived four months in a crap hotel without cable? i'm so sick of this small-time bullshit. i had to kiss that greasy mook. dean wasn't so bad. anyway, we'll make more in the next one. -i'm thinking seattle. maybe san francisco. mom. remember our deal. this was it. -i'm going solo. here we go. it's happening, mom. accept it. i am old enough to be on my own. -you have no idea what it's like to be all alone. i'll tell you what'll happen. you'll go off, you'll get lonely, some moron will come along, you'll think it's true love, you've never been so sure of anything, and then bam. he will pull a conceive and leave, and then it's my life again. i am not that stupid. -you know what i mean. well, you're right. i was stupid, and it left me pregnant and alone. if barbara hadn't shown me the con... and you taught me. -ok? i'll be fine. ok. fine. if you've made up your mind, we will go to new york and divide up everything. -i'll get the cheque. oh, my lord! what seems to be the problem? well, i was just about to take a bite and i saw glass. look! -i am so sorry, ma'am. this has never happened. of course, your meal is complimentary. armand, a bottle of wine. quickly. -perhaps a 69 merlot? those shoes are so wrong for this. thanks. i don't understand the problem. we deposit our money and you give it back when we say so. -i'm afraid it's not that simple, ms conners. hello. i'm gloria vogal. irs. hello. -oh, you've heard of us. i'm surprised. we seldom hear from you. well, i suppose i might be a little late with this year's return. maybe even the last seven. -mother, i'm stunned. i had no idea you would evade your responsibilities... shut up, ms conners. we've never seen a dime from you either. look, i know what must have happened. -i always assumed that my returns were filed by my husband. oh. which one? look. just because i've had some trouble -with my personal relationships... ms conners... how you earn your money is of no interest to the irs. how can i put this in language you'll understand? we just want our cut. -how much? with interest and penalties, the total comes to 247,811 dollars. what? ! oh, no, no, no, no, no. -that is in addition to what used to be in your accounts. your latest divorce settlement arrived this morning. thanks. but that's everything. it's not all bad. -we'll give you a full 90 days to pay. or... we move forward with criminal charges for felony tax evasion and fraud. good luck. here's the last of our cash. 1,150... 1,170... 1,190. -that's $1,300 each. wow. have a nice life with that, princess. i'll economise. sure. -you can do your own hair and your own nails. they actually have some great shoes at wal-mart. all right! one more con, but only if we do it right. what does that mean?

-don't you ever flop me without my consent. it had to look real. you fall lousy when you know it's coming. i fall fine. fake. -oh, shut up. no, don't do that. no! stop! hey, boss. -just got three camrys in. cherry. parts'll bring in a hundred thou, easy. great. the change of title came through on the mercedes. -you have to sign. bitch. you know... this is the eighth frame we've gone through in a week. maybe it's time to retire this picture. -why can't i stop thinking about her? was it the legs? she had amazing legs. give me that! or maybe it was that she dumped you. -'cause that's never happened before. yeah. yeah. who the hell does she think she is? does she think she can do this to me?

dean was kind of cute. you're in serious denial. cute is dangerous. -cute leads to feeling, which leads to screwing, which leads to screwed. i know we could make that doctor and his mom work. we're doing tensy. that's that. that is not that. -if you want to work tensy, fine. i'm working davis. page, i've told you before, no simultaneous cons. too many angles. they always go bad. -but it's not just that, is it?

so this is why you've been so nice to me. i have not been nice to you! you betray me for some bartender. -that bartender owns the bar and has an offer to sell for three million. you're not ready, page. yeah. i already got him to say he loves me. you're not ready to con a guy without falling in love yourself. -i am in complete control. i saw the kiss. your eyes were closed. that was the sun. last time the sun got in my eyes, i got a daughter. -and that's the worst thing that every happened to you. i'm a pro, mother, and i'll prove it. there. nothing. but the best from you. -give me a chance to make it even better. crap! what's wrong? i gotta go. why? -because i'm no good for you. i'll be the judge of that. you have to trust me. i am not a good person. no, you are good. -you may not know it, but i do. you come on tough, but it's just an act. you don't even believe in sleeping together. you're like an osmond. look, you don't get it. -i haven't been completely honest with you. look, i know you're not really an environmentalist, ok? who cares? the important thing is i love you and i want to be with you. i gotta go. -you win. i dropped the con. it's for the best, dear. shut up, mother. barbara. -you are a lifesaver. to pull that job off on such short notice. i was taught by the best. i had a blast. i've been out of the game for so long, i forgot it's fun, even though we were conning your daughter, who i haven't seen since she was four. -three. but we weren't conning her. we were protecting her. she wanted to run off on her own. this was the only way to stop her. -you won't be able to stop her forever. i know that. page is an amazing, brilliant, talented girl. but she's still green. when she's ready, i'll tell her. -you're sure she's not ready now? i just caught her kissing some loser with her eyes closed. really? i'll get this. classy. -i'm still learning from you. sweetie, i'm home. sounds like a good day. yeah, it was fantastic. is tensy the largest producer of phlegm on the east coast?

-it's ok. i didn't charge it to your room. i cannot anymore see you. why on earth not? let us leave at that. -make pain less. goodbye...forever. no, no. what is this all about? "we regret to inform you that your application for permanent residence -"has been denied. "you must leave the country no later than tomorrow." oh, i try everything! but is very political red tape to get green card and i am loopholeless. well, this is horrible. -and i was going to ask you to marry me. marry you? yes. yes, i... purchased a ring and... everything. but with your leaving... -i am but ignorant unintelligible foreigner, but if you marry me, i believe that puts kibosh on deportation. really? oh, ulga, ulga. will you... what? -marry me? oh, marry you. oh, is legal question. yes, i will. is binding answer. -leave me alone. i'm engaged! we're talking a settlement of 20 million minimum. we're finally set for life, darling. i just have time for one quick whoo! -i said whoo. why won't you talk to me? there's nothing to say. i scared you when i told you i loved you, didn't i? jack, there is no love. -it's just a trick of the brain - a combination of hormones and chemicals. then why are you here? tell me to my face you don't love me. i don't love you. wow. -more believable than i thought it would be. i know i freaked you out by moving too fast with all that "i love you" stuff. so let's just...get married. i gotta go. that is jarring. -my love, tonight we will celebrate this ecstatic joining of our spirits with the union... of our aching bodies. oh, you have stomach cramp again. no. i ache for you, my pumpkin. let's hump. -william, my religion. humping is not yet allowed. of course it is. i proposed, you accepted. to god, everything else is just paperwork. -william, i insist we wait till after wedding. ulga, i am much more powerful than you. now just relax and enjoy it. william?

oh, yes. i mean, someone is joining me. i'll open the champagne. -i'll take care of it. thank you. tip's included. good night. i ask you to do one simple thing... -i don't consider holding a 500-pound corpse simple. you flung open the door... i didn't fling it! we just have to get the body back to the house. have you seen her? -dean. shit! angela! i'll meet you in five minutes. he looks pissed. -i'll handle him. angela! angela! angela! angela! -oh, god! angela, stop! i have missed you so much. so much. i've never been so in love with anybody in my entire life. -i'm begging you! just give me one more chance. marry me again. what?

you want me to sing? come fly with me come fly, come fly... -shut up! what do you want, baby? i'll do anything. anything? i had no idea you were into this stuff. -ow! i've been trying a lot of new things lately. oh, wait. i don't know about that. are you questioning me? -no. no, no, no. it's just... kiss my foot and apologise. i'm sorry. -ah... good boy. oooh, yes. now, i'm just gonna get some... whipped cream. i got no problem with that. -i'll be right back. hurry up. careful. we don't want any more damage to the body. housekeeping! -no. no. no! housekeeping. no! -no! no! no! i don't need anything. please just get lost. -lady! you know, i've been cleaning this room for three weeks, and so far, no tip. there's 20 bucks in my pants. 20? how about i sit on your kinky face for a while? -ok, ok, ok! 50. that's more like it. unbelievable. both of these wallets yours? -two wallets? untie me. now, that'll be another 20. all right. he's sleeping. -he wakes up having one of his famous coughing fits, flails around, and falls onto the statue becoming peniley impaled. that's believable, right? i just really need a shower. where's the penis? it's still there. -it's just the rigor mortis is gone. not his, the statue's. it's still in the car. i'll get it. there you go. -this is... this is unbelievable. oh, god! 0h, god! you are so enormous. -0h, god, please... you gold-digging whore! you're already working someone else? get off of her, asshole! get off! -don't shoot him, dean. why not? he's already dead. oh, you are one sick slut! i am not a sick slut. -one penis coming up, mom! wendy? er, hello. mom? you're her mother? -it's just a nickname. oh, my god. oh, my god. you two played me. oh, no. -the whole marriage was bullshit. and this one you even offed! we didn't off him. he coughed himself to death. yeah, right! -you let your own daughter seduce me? ! do you know how much therapy you people need? look, dean... i don't blame you for being upset. -we did an awful thing. and for the first time, i feel really bad about it. but maybe, despite all this craziness, there's still hope for us after all. there's more hope for you and him than for us! dean, please tell me it's ok. -i love you. forget it. fine! look, you brought this on yourself. you cheated on me. -you set me up to cheat! we can't make a scumbag do anything he wouldn't do... shut up, junior slut! get over there! you two got some brass balls in those panties. -i'll give you that. in the few moments you have left... i want to see some begging and some pleading. mom... dean, you got so many tells. -you are not the killing type. don't screw with me. i'm on a fine edge here. don't. see? -no bullets. fine. so i'm not that big on homicide! but i could do worse! i found all your ids! -all your aliases. i'll get them to the cops when they start investigating decomposing boy! you two will get some filthy lesbo lockdown! with bad lighting! i don't have to kill you to kill you. -dean, wait! look, what if we gave you back your money? well? i stopped walking, didn't i? first you've got to help us make it look like this creep died here, so there's no questions. -you know how to do that? i'm from jersey, aren't i? boy, dean was really incredible with that body. well, you gonna let me in on the play? what play? -you promised that mook 300,000. when we take him to the bank, we'll be about 300,000 short. the money will be there. what? i don't want a big scene about this, but mrs vogal from the irs was more of a -"protecting you from making the worst mistake of your life" thing than a "the government took all our money" thing. ok? what? i pulled a tiny little con to keep you from leaving. oh, you bitch of bitches! -stop it! there seems to be a problem with your account, ms conners. it was closed yesterday. that's impossible. what the hell is going on? -nothing. i swear. here's the signature. barbara. wait. -i gave my old partner all my account numbers for the irs scam and that hag ripped off every penny! tell that to your cellmates. for once she's telling the truth. i'm going to believe the seed of satan? give me the keys to my car. -what? give me the keys to the mercedes. goodbye. i can't believe it. i can't believe this. -i've blown both our lives. i'm sorry, page. i'm a terrible person. i'm a terrible mother. i'm a terrible everything. -aw... you're finally seeing things clearly. what the hell are you doing? you want money? the guy who wants to marry me is worth 1.5 in a divorce. -she's just gonna screw with him. hugely. i was wondering how long you were gonna stay this time. look... i know i've been horrible, but this talk about love and marriage can make anyone act freaky. -i know that i must seem like a mean selfish bitch, but... no. you seem like the sweetest, most wonderful person i've ever met. what a moron. friends, employees, beer wholesaler... -i have an announcement. jane and i are getting married. that is awesome! yeah. jane, come here. -jack, so now that you have some extra responsibilities, that doesn't mean you're going to sell this place? no. we'll do just fine. thanks, man. sell what, honey? -nothing. someone offered me three million for the bar and the land. three million. that sounds like something. yeah, but this place was my dad's. -you know, it's home. it's too late anyway. they got another lot. yeah. there's no money. -i'm bailing. no! you can still get a decent settlement. he'll lose the bar. this is wrong. -it's over. she's growing a conscience on my score? don't make her do this. i'll get your money. no. -we're doing it. may i have this dance? um, jack... i gotta go. is that who i think it is? -jane! is it. how are you, darling? pissed off. we were just on our way to see you at the hotel. -oh, this isn't jack, is it? jane goes on and on about you. i think she's in love! i'm betty, jane's second cousin, and this is my brother. vinny staggliano. -i'm afraid you caught us at a weird time. i just asked asked jane to marry me and... oh, that's great! congratulations. i think she's having second thoughts. -that's just the way our jane is. but she gets over it though. especially when her family's here. why don't you kiss and make up? i'm not really in the mood... -kiss. that's nice. i think your relatives are gonna like bill's boat. who cares what they like? nice boat. -i'm so sorry. i'm so clumsy. that's ok. how ya doing, skippy? hey. -hey, you. i got the lotion. who's got the hands? don't look at me. i don't like getting all gunky. -jack, would you mind? sure. thanks, babe. you are the most kind, wonderful man. look at all the fish. -got it. this is gonna be a fun trip. i honestly don't know why you'd want to wear an off-the-shoulder. this is what i want. fine. -what would i know? i've only been married 13 times. i'm coming out. you'd better be nice. i'm always nice. -what's wrong? nothing. fine. if you're going to be sarcastic. i'm not being sarcastic. -it's perfect. really? there's nothing you would change? not a thing. oh, my god. -i might just see what it looks like without this. i take it back. no. no, i like that idea. so, mother likes it? -she's not my mother. i'm not her mother. you really are good at this. i'm almost buying it. ladies and gentlemen, friends and family. -we have come here today to celebrate two wonderful people who have managed to find each other in this sometimes seemingly cold world, and pledge their hearts. do you, jack withrowe, take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife, to love her, honour her and cherish her until death do you part? i do. and do you, jane helstrom, take this man to be your lawful wedded husband, to love, honour and to cherish him until death do you part? i do. -what? i do. i now pronounce you husband and wife, and you may kiss the bride. ladies and gentlemen, i give you mr and mrs withrowe. make sure he sees you drinking a lot. -that won't be hard. there's my wonderful new daughter-in-law. are you avoiding me? uh, no. i gotta go. -don't let it bother you. she's shyer than shit. what is it you do, mr staggliano? college professor. oh, what do you teach? -college stuff. what are you, a fucking cop? congratulations. thank you. i'll only need 30 minutes. -it won't work. he loves me too much. men don't turn women down. just like our first date, only less mud. it's beautiful. -happy? i always know the right thing to say. i love you... jack. i love you very much. -you're different, aren't you? you wouldn't let anything ruin this. well, sometimes these hotel soaps irritate my skin. i'm serious. say nothing will ruin us. -nothing will ever take me away or keep me from loving you. um...can i have some water? i think i drank too much champagne. ok. jane? -jack? what are you doing out here alone? oh, my wife celebrated herself into an early coma. well, her loss is my gain. walk me to my room. -i have a wedding gift for you. no, that's ok. i was just gonna... oh, come on. you can't turn down a wedding gift. -it's bad luck. i never heard that. sure. everything to do with weddings is bad luck. i can only stay a minute. -will you just relax? ok? sit down. this hotel is so nice. i'm so glad my brother and i decided to stay here too. -er, yeah, it's... you mentioned something about a gift. you're so greedy. but i happen to have it right here. cognac. -wow. 80 years old. jane is gonna love this. thank you so much. oh, can't we just try some? -please? jack. thought you might not want to wait alone. ow! ow, ow. -could be wrong. it feels good going down, doesn't it? it's er... it's really good. no, thanks. -i should be getting back to jane. jack, she's asleep. come on. you deserve to have a bit of fun on your wedding night. it's just fruit. -it's just a waste of time. he's just gonna throw her out on her ass. i'm not worried. is that why you're melting down the remote? cute. -you got a tiny bit of cream... right... i gotta go. oh, why? i just can't do this. what's the matter? -is it because you don't find me attractive? no. no. a part of me is very, very interested, but the other parts are yelling, "you just married her cousin." jane would never know. -i promise. yeah, but i would. i could never do that to someone i love. yeah. you really do love her, don't you? -yeah, and i really should be getting back. look, i'm sorry, i'm really sorry. please don't leave like this. can't we just, you know, have a make-up drink or something? i'll be good, i promise. -please. i'm going over there. it isn't time yet. i don't care, you shit! i can't do this to him. -it hurts when you screw with people's feelings. not as much as this. oh, my god! jane! what? -i'm sorry. while we are willing to admit some wrongdoing on the part of my client, given the extremely short duration of the marriage... no negotiation. give her whatever she wants. we talked about you not saying that. -give her whatever she wants. jane. jane! i don't know what happened. it was weird. -there's only one man in the world. what the hell's taking so long? oh, relax. you'll get your money. you destroyed my daughter, but you'll get it. -hey, i was minding my own business when you bitches came along and ripped out my heart for a game of hacky sack! come off it. we're both the same. scum. we are not the same. -i wasn't lying when i said "i do". no, you were lying when you tried to nail page. look, where i come from guys make mistakes sometimes. it didn't change the fact that i loved you. i know i wouldn't do it again. -because you got caught. no. because of what i lost. i'm not the only guy in the world that's ever screwed up. even a goody-goody like jack can't keep his wang in the hanger. -yes, he can. what did you say? nothing. no, no, no. what did you say? -i micked him. strictotoxin. you're between out and awake. i makes people easy to handle. whoa! -wait. you're kidding? he said no, and you let her believe he went for a soil sample? that's a new low, even for you! look, you wanted your money. -what was i supposed to do? tell her the guy you made us con was the only decent guy she ever met? this is just too sick! i thought this revenge thing would be fun, but you've ruined it. i don't want this guy's money. -i don't either. i'm not taking it. neither am i. neither am i! i'll take it. -what? you said you didn't want it. you should tell page the truth. what for? he's only gonna end up hurting her anyway. -she's better off with me. i'll protect her. from what? from love? from pain. -love is pain! life is pain. you can't protect anybody. it's always gonna get you. sometimes life can also be good. -but you gotta be open, you gotta take chances, you gotta let go! what self-help guru moron taught you that? nobody had to teach me. it's common sense. and deepak chopra is not a moron! -i've seen a lot of crap in my life, but the way you're cheating her out of a decent future, it sucks! of all the lousy things you've done, you should be most ashamed of that. and what you did to me, too. i don't want to leave that out. here's your money. -i don't want it. good luck with psycho mom. what was that? i took care of it. how? -i don't want to talk about it. let's just get out of here. so where are we going? seattle or san francisco? you know, you don't have to stay with me. -there's plenty of money for you to set up on your own. you can have it. thanks, mom, but you're the only person in this world i even half trust. what are you doing? turning around. -why? promise you won't attack me? what is it? we're travelling at speed. it would endanger us. -what is it? jack turned me down. so i kinda... i micked him. you are the most evil, manipulative... -you're right. i am. i've just been so afraid of losing you or of you getting hurt like me. but i can't protect you. i just get you hurt in different, sick ways. -so you might as well get hurt in your own healthy, normal ways - ways you come up with on your own and can't blame me for. oh, it's a hug. i can pull over for a hug. don't cry too much or you'll look like hell when you go back to him. you should wear the blue dress. -mom. right. wear whatever you want. except what you're wearing. what are you doing here? -you know what i'm doing here. you thought i'd want you after what you did? you don't? ok, fine. all right. -wait, wait, ok, fine. so i still want you. no kidding. but don't you ever cheat on me again. ever. -ever! ok, fine! i mean it. if you see some gorgeous girl giving you that "let's screw around" look, just remember she may be working for me. all right, fine! -but you! no more conning! no more! as my wife, you gotta live a respectable life - chopping cars. first you gotta help me with one thing. -no. first you gotta help me. ok. you're not gonna fall asleep on me again, are you? i feel pretty good about tonight. -i don't wanna go in there. the bank owns it now. there's some stuff left. i cleared out everything. surprise! -jane? how...? my name is page. i never realised i could feel this way again. that i could be so totally in love with someone. -oh, i feel the same way, stanley. do you, angela nardino... take dean cumanno as your lawfully wedded husband... to love, honor, and obey till death do you part?

one horribly traumatic day in which my client suffered... irreparable psychological damage to her self-esteem. -oh, and she keeps the mercedes. what? bullshit. well, we could drag this before a judge... if you think that would be more favorable. that would put your client's business under scrutiny. -what was it again, mr. cumanno?

-well? i stopped walking, didn't i? but first you got to help us... make it look like this creep died here... alone and peaceful... so there's no questions. you know how to do that? i'm from jersey, aren't i? -boy, dean was really incredible with that body. well, are you gonna let me in on the play? what play? you promised that mook 300,000. when we take him to the bank tomorrow... we're only gonna be, oh, about 300,000 short. -the money will be there. what? i don't want a big scene about this, page... but mrs. vogal from the i.r.s. was more of a "protecting you from making the worst mistake... of your life" thing than it was... a "the government came and took all our money" thing. what?

i'm not really in the mood. go on. kiss. -that's nice. there you go. i think your relatives are gonna like bill's boat. who cares what they like? nice boat. -ooh! oh, oh! i'm so sorry. i'm so clumsy. that's ok. -how you doing, skippy?

-i do. and do you, jane helstrom... take this man to be your lawful wedded husband... to love, honor, and to cherish him... until death do you part? i do. what? i do. -i now pronounce you husband and wife... and you may kiss the bride. ladies and gentlemen, i give to you... mr. and mrs. withrowe. shut up. wise men say -only fools rush in but i can't help falling in love with you... here. make sure he sees you drinking a lot. -that won't be hard. there's my wonderful new daughter-in-law. are you avoiding me? uh, no. i gotta go. -don't let it bother you. she's shyer than shit. uh, what is it you do, mr. staggliano? college professor. uh, what do you teach? -college stuff. what are you, a fucking cop? congratulations. thank you. i'll only need 30 minutes. -it won't work. he loves me too much. men don't turn women down. just like our first date, only less mud. it's beautiful. -happy? always know just the right thing to say. i love you... jack. i love you very much. -you're different, aren't you? i mean, you would never let anything ruin this, would you? well, sometimes these hotel soaps irritate my skin. i'm serious. say nothing will ruin us. -nothing will ever take me away... or keep me from loving you. can i have some water? i think i drank too much champagne. what are you doing out here alone? oh, my wife celebrated herself into an early coma. -oh. well, her loss is my gain. walk me to my room. i have a wedding gift for you. oh, no, that's ok. -i was just gonna-- oh, come on. you can't turn down a wedding gift, you know. it's bad luck. i never heard that. -sure. everything to do with weddings is bad luck. uh, i can only stay a minute. will you just relax? ok? -sit down. this hotel is so nice. i'm so glad my brother and i decided to stay here, too. uh...yeah. it's... you, uh--ahem--mentioned something about a gift? -you're so greedy. but i happen to have it right...here. cognac! huh! wow! -80 years old. uh, jane is gonna love this. thank you so much. oh, oh, oh-- can't we just try some? please? -i thought you might not want to wait alone. could be wrong. oh! it feels good going down, doesn't it? it's, uh... -it's really good. no, thanks. i, uh... i should be getting back to jane. jack, she's asleep. -ok? come on. you deserve to have... a little bit of fun on your wedding night. it's just fruit. it's just a waste of time. -he's just gonna throw her out on her ass. i'm not worried. is that why you're melting down the remote? cute. you've got a tiny bit of cream... right... -i got to go. oh, oh, oh. why? i just can't do this. what's the matter? -is it because you don't find me attractive? no, no. a part of me is very, very interested... but the other parts are yelling... "you just married her cousin." jane would never know, i promise. -yeah, but i would. i could never do that to someone i love. you really do love her, don't you? yeah... and i really should be getting back. look, i'm sorry. -i'm really sorry. i feel terrible. please don't leave like this. can't we just, you know... have a make-up drink or something? i'll be good, i promise. -please? that's it. i'm going over there. no. it isn't time yet. -i don't care, you sick shit. i can't do this to him. you see? it hurts when you screw around... with people's feelings, doesn't it? not as much as this. -oh, my god. jane! what? i'm sorry. while we are willing to admit... some wrongdoing on the part of my client... given the extremely short duration of the marriage-- -no negotiation. give her whatever she wants. we talked about you not saying that. give her whatever she wants. i don't know what happened. -it was weird. there is only one man in the world. what the hell is taking so long? oh, relax. you'll get your money. -you destroyed my daughter, but you'll get it. hey, i was standing around minding my own business... when you bitches came along and ripped out my heart... for a game of hacky sack. don't give me that. come off it. we're both the same--scum. -we are not the same. i wasn't lying when i said "i do." no, you were lying when you tried to nail page. look. where i come from, guys make mistakes sometimes. -didn't change the fact that i loved you. i just know i wouldn't do it again. because you got caught. no, because of what i lost. i'm not the only guy in the world that's ever screwed up. -even a goody-goody like jack can't keep his wang in the hangar. yes, he can. what did you say? nothing. no, wait a minute. -wait a minute. what did you say? i micked him. stryctotoxy... somewhere bet ween out and awake. it just makes people easy to handle. -whoa. wait a minute. you're kidding. he said no, and you still let her believe... that he went for a soil sample? you know what? -that's a new low, even for you. look. you wanted your money. what was i supposed to do... tell her the man you forced us to con... was the only decent guy she ever met? but you know what? -this is just too sick. i thought this whole revenge thing was gonna be fun... but you've done everything you can to ruin it. i don't even want this guy's money now. well, i don't want it, either. well, i'm not taking it! -well, neither am i! well, neither am i! i'll take it. what? ! -you said you didn't want it. you should tell your daughter the truth. what for? he's only gonna end up hurting her anyway. she's better off with me, ok? -i'll protect her. from what? from love? from pain. love is pain. -life is pain. you can't protect anybody from it. it's always gonna get you. but sometimes, life can also be good. but you got to be open. -you got to take chances. you got to let go. what self-help guru moron taught you that? nobody had to teach me nothing. it's common sense. -and deepak chopra is not a moron. i've seen a lot of crap in my life... but the way you're cheating her out of any chance... for a decent future really sucks. of all the lousy things you've done... you should be most ashamed of that. and what you did to me, too-- i don't want to completely leave that out. -here's your money. i don't want the money. good luck with psycho mom here. what was that? i took care of it. -how? i don't want to talk about it. let's just get out of this goddamn place. so... where are we going-- seattle or san francisco? you know, you don't have to stay with me. -there's plenty of money for you to set up on your own... and you can have all of it. thanks, mom. you're the only person in this world... i even half-trust. what are you doing? -turning around. why? promise you won't attack me? what is it? we're traveling at high speeds. -it would endanger both our lives. what is it? jack turned me down... so i kind of... i micked him. oh, you are the most evil, manipulative-- -you're right. i am. i've just been so afraid of losing you... or of you getting hurt like me. but i can't protect you. i just get you hurt in different, sickways. -so you might as well get hurt... in your own healthy, normal ways-- ways you come up with on your own... and can't blame me for. oh, it's a hug. i can pull over for a hug. now, don't cry too much. you'll look like hell... when you go back to him, ok? -you should wear the blue dress. mom... right. wear whatever you want... except what you're wearing. what are you doing here? -you know what i'm doing here. what, you thought i'd still want you... after what you did to me? you don't? ok. fine. -all right, wait, wait. ok. ok. fine. so i still want you. -no kidding. but don't you ever cheat on me again. ever. ever! ok. -fine! i mean it. because if one day... you happen to notice some gorgeous girl giving you that "let's screw around" look... just remember, she may be working for me. all right. fine. -but you? no more conning. no more. if you're gonna be my wife... you've got to live a respectable life... chopping cars. first you got to help me with one thing. -well, first you got to help me with one thing. you're not gonna fall asleep on me again, are you? i feel pretty good about tonight. look. i don't want to go in there. -the bank owns it now. there's still some stuff they said you left. i cleared out everything. surprise! how? -my name is page. i never realized i could feel this way again... that i could be so totally in love with someone. i feel the same way, stanley. you're beautiful. thank you. -eni, meni, mini, moe, catch a granny by the toe, if she moves, pull her boobs, boy scout, your out. eni, meni, mini, moe, catch a granny, by the toe, if she moves, pull her boobs, boy scout, your out. last supperat the gray arabs. forty five waiters, tray in hand, with a cup of coffee on each one, ran from the heroes square to the eskü street.

'excuse me, my love' by antonio pisapia and the rayban. -did i remember it correctly? you know tony, i want to ask you a big favor. a bit more on the left. fine. come on, giovanni. -click it! here's your salmon trout. let me show you the photo. it's a pity you didn't come at the concert. because it was my goodbye concert. -how was it? was it beautiful? yes, it was really a beautiful concert. hi. hi. -why were you staying in the dark? nothing. just thinking. go to sleep. i've got work to do. -antonio, tomorrow i'm going away. i'm leaving you. is there another man? we're 35 years old,.. ..and you only think of.... -slut! i knew you wouldn't understand. hello? it's me. mother, how are you? -your father died! what? how did it happen? don't strive to ask antonio. don't fucking ask! -you haven't met him for years. mother, you told me not to come home, didn't you? an you immediately agreed with it. of course. how does it go with maria? -i can stand her. the funeral is tomorrow at ten in the church. i informed you. bye. did you take a look at the notes? -yes, but i don't know. i am uncertain. i know that you want a high defense, but 15 meters is too much! you're misbalanced. if the other team has one like platini: -..a long ball, defense is overcome and that's it. or you play against someone like me, and you loose the match. i won't loose,.. ..because my players run more than yours.. to run for ninety minutes you must train the heart,... .. then the muscles. -these are the principles of aerobics. and who'll play in attack? jane fonda? alberto, you still play with catenaccio and counter-attack! molosso, using catenaccio and counter-attack,.. -.. won 2 leagues and 3 italian cups. 10 years earlier. 10 years earlier. listen, do one thing: eat before it gets colder. -father! veronica! when did you come back? tonight. how's it going in london? -fine. i've been in london. i've played there. in 1970. it was 1969. -in 1970 you were in jail. i've already heard this story. don't tell it again. you're right, 1969. '69... -is there always that light rain? unceasing, continuous... yes, often. how does school go? did you have exams? -it's ok. by the way, since you study medicine,.. ..if you're free, you should have a look at this... it was grandfather's funeral today morning. why didn't you come? -i woke up late. besides, i never go to the funerals. but it was your father's! so tony! i woke up late. -what would you like? salvatore, you must give me guarantees about the mussels. what's the issue with them? they're good. we'll have spaghetti with mussels then. -for the main course... i have ten coralfish ginetto brought me. they're terrific! where did he catch them? in the procida channel. -i don't believe this channel has been offering good seafood lately. let's make a deal. you taste it. if you don't like them, then throw them away, ok? i've spent my life here and it's never before 5am that i can get to sleep. -i'm always sleepy now. diabetes is to blame. but i'm over it, now. enough is enough. i'll retire and yield this restaurant. -why? have you had any offers? each of them worse than the other. it's not the money, cause they've offered me pretty much. but they want to turn it into a pub or a disco. -i don't give a damn, but when i pass by, i still want to see that sign "salvatore a mare" salvatore, i was thinking... i'm done with the music. enough! -i don't wanna have anything to do with it anymore. i thought: if you take me as a partner, i could manage the restaurant. are you serious, tony? -salvató, if i'm idle at home, i'll go crazy. they'll take me to a madhouse. maybe, one of these evenings, i could even sing a song or two for the amusement of our friends. what do you say? -i just need a deposit, to be safe. veronica! go back, go back, you fucking bastards! go for it! gigi, carlo, get closer! -go, mauri, go! block him! yes! good, carlo. but you must roll it earlier. -you, biaggio... ok. geppino, give me a hand here. sure. here it is. -antonio, let me show you something. i am the king of agropoli, antonio. look here. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 units. 120 row cottages with seaview. -we can agree that the agropoli sea matches the beauty of sardinia. what i'm saying, antonio, is why don't you buy one of these cottages? besides, if you buy it while it's still a project, it'll cost much less. excuse me, are you following me? sorry, i was a little distracted. -are you gazing at elena? her name is elena? i understand you. wait here. i know her, i'll introduce you. -no, no. forget it. geppino, are you still willing to draw up this voucher? sure. come to our office on wednesday. -maybe thursday is better. it's you then. you said 11, but it's 3 already. i woke up late. will you really do this to me? -died man, i'm doing you a favor. for this car, the market is as promising as for you. i'm a lawyer. interesting. and i love theater. -but there's not much going on in ivrea. that's why every now and then i take the car and drive to turin. do you like theater? very much. what do you like? -i like... i love ballet. it's beautiful. such an interest is rare among men. you are not superficial. -this is quite interesting. you haven't asked me about my job and you never make the conversation slip towards the past. and this makes it even more interesting. it never becomes boring. a very silent person... full of mistery... but your eyes say it all. -i think i'm in love with you. in any case, i'm married too... did you say "in any case"? i'd like to go to capri with you. tomorrow. -we'll go tomorrow. no, tomorrow is carnival. a friend of mine is throwing a party. why don't you come? with pleasure. -where have you learnt to kiss so well? as a boy, when i played for verona. hello. tony, sit down, i have great news. shoot it. -a cruiser ship, from genoa to cairo, the red sea. i'll have you aboard cleaning the toilettes, tony. you're a real friend. i knew you wouldn't forget me. i told you we only had to wait for the dust to settle down. -this ship has a certain level, people with money. it's not the shitty boat trip around the mediterranean. these are insane cabins. thank you, genny, seriously. tony, i'm your manager. -unfortunately, i can't accept it. what the fuck are you saying, tony? are you in trouble? nothing happened. i just don't know... a whole month at sea. -i'm getting old, you know. it'll be crowded and too hot down there. it's really not for me. what the fuck do you mean with "too hot"? it's a lot of money! -i don't know, this story with the ship... i see it as a step back. if you have anything better for me, i could consider it, think about it. but this ship would really mean a step back. -i appreciate you thought about me, but i have other plans. tony, you son of a bitch! a step back? ! you're dead, tony, and i'm trying to get you back to life! -do you know what they said when i mentioned your name? that they didn't want you! that their passengers are middle aged folks, that they don't have junkies or teenagers aboard, that they'd rather have fred bongusto. and i was an idiot, telling them you're better than bongusto, that you gave up the drugs and all that shit, tony! don't take it so seriously. -give them fred. go fuck yourself, you son of a bitch! in my opinion, tv quality has decreased in recent years. i don't agree completely, but we can discuss it. hi, lucilla. -you look gorgeous. you too. lucilla, my dear. thanks for the plants, they were great. let's go see them. -how are you? fine. forgive my delay. the traffic was terrible. i'm coming. -a moment, please. yes? who are you? i'm antonio pisapia, a friend of elena's. ah, of course. -please. thanks, my dear. come in! i am lucilla. it's a pleasure. -let me take your coat. thanks. oh gee, poor you... i got it. you thought it was a costume party. -it's not. hasn't elena told you? no. what can we do now? i'll go home. -no, wait. you'll wear something from my husband's wardrobe. come with me to our room. wait, the living room is full of guests. i want to make love to you. -now? yes. i had something else in mind for our first time. the first time can be very disappointing. it might be better to enliven it a little, don't you agree? -that's my daughter. come, we're dancing. let's go to capri tomorrow? yes. i'll wait you there. -lello! tell the boys... to put the small pastry counter where the aquarium was. the indoor tournament is over. how was it? we won. -yes, but it was a pain the ass, alberto. i want to coach a real team. i feel i'm ready. antonio, i must tell you something important. anything new happened? -trevisani was fired. they called me back in. and you? i accepted. i barely got back in and had a fight with the president. -and why? because of you. they won't let me have you as my assistant. till the end of the championship that stupid palumbo will have to stay. they say the players have a good connection with him, that we shouldn't disrupt the harmony and this sort of bull shit. -it doesn't matter. no, it does matter. i only accepted because they offered me a 2 year contract, assuring me that next year i could bring you in as my assistant. you just have to wait a few months. let it be. -they'll probably change their minds when july comes. no, they won't. otherwise, i'll quit. i had to accept it, antonio. it was a load of money. -thus i'll be able to retire in peace. it was the right decision to accept it. don't be worried about me. you just have to wait a few months. will you come over for dinner? -hello. genny, i must get back. i need a come back. i won't talk to you, tony. it's not the time to play the offended one. -i'm tired of it, tony. i'm not your manager any more. i need that job. fuck you, tony! i won't say it again -bongusto will be on that ship. do you know why, tony? cause you can't clear customs with a pound of coke on you! we need to talk. pisapia, what are you doing here? -we must talk. let's talk then. how did you know i was here? you told me many years ago that you come to the office every sunday after the match. let's make it quick. -i must attend a wedding. the assistant coach should be chosen by molosso. should. but i take the decisions here. and you chose palumbo, that moron. -bull shit. palumbo is smart. and the next season? molosso wants me. what do you say? -next season we'll see whether molosso will still be around... whether i'll still be around. heaven knows what will happen. what do you mean? "whether he's still around"? molosso has a contract. contracts are signed and unsigned. -molosso is fine for now. i had to keep him: the fans were crushing my balls, hurling at my doorstep every second night. but why can't i be the assistant coach? i told you. -palumbo is smart, he's a promise. i got it. next year you'll drop molosso and promote palumbo, right? listen. for me, you don't have what it takes to be coach. -why do you insist? nobody has called you in, not even a minor team. i'm telling you, try another job. why this obsession about being a coach? if you're concerned about the vouchers, i'll issue whatever you need. -what are you saying? what do they have to do with it? in any case, i'd be willing to coach even the junior team. it doesn't have to be necessarily the main team. it would be presumptuous from me to ask you that. -antonio, i must tell you what i think. soccer is but a game and you are a man of sorrows. give me this octopus. octopus, tony? you never bought one before. -and now i do. hello? i'm calling on behalf of the producers of the tv program "public confessions". have you had the chance to watch it? no. -it doesn't matter. the program is hosted by gigi moscati, who interviews famous guests about their personal lives. we'd love to have you on the program. call me again tomorrow. we can offer our guests a 3 million reimbursement for their time. -moreover, it is broadcast from naples, which would make it easier for you. if possible, we'd love to hear a potpourri of your old hits. i never sing potpourris! call me again tomorrow. ok. -if you have any doubts about our program, you can watch a live broadcast tonight at 10:30. call me again tomorrow. ok, bye. the bashful tend to assume a defensive position. they tend to hide behind the strikers, avoiding to draw any attention. -it worked well as long as the man marking was in use. but since the zone marking was introduced, there was no place left for the bashful. they were thrown into the spotlight. i never knew how to do it. but you did quite well in the spotlight... scoring a spectacular bicycle kick goal. -a half bicycle kick. what goes through your mind in front of the goal? i've always sought to avoid the goal. right, at that moment, when i was about to kick the ball... i saw the fans. -80.000 people and all eyes on me. some days later, however, during the training... your ligaments were torn and your life is turned upside down. what happened? i haven't been able to get back on the field after the accident. i decided to become a coach. -are you coaching now? no. how come? the president of my former team had assured me... i'd have a chance to go on working with them. -later, he went back on his word. he said i don't have what it takes to be coach. how can anyone say that, if no one ever gave me a chance to show it? anyway, i don't want to talk about it. i want to say something else. -today... i've met someone... please, go on. you were saying you've met someone today. now we'll show you a short film about antonio pisapia. -we'll be right back. where do we go? take me to the airport. are you leaving? yes. -i must go to holland to evaluate a player. yes? here's tony pisapia. i'm supposed to be on your show next week. can you do me a favor? -i need the number of antonio pisapia? we can't tell the private telephone numbers of our guests. you must give me immediately the number of antonio pisapia. is it clear? the telephone number of antonio pisapia. -is that clear? is it 7:00? # gr 1.# # breaking news.# # naples: -the former soccer player, antonio pisapia,# # has killed himself with a bullet to the head.# # the body has been found on the soccer field # # across from the capodichino airport.# and the shaving? everything ready. smoking is forbidden here. -damn! now be still. it might hurt a little. but don't move. does it hurt? -hello? here is the producer of "public confessions". yes, i'll do it. but we need to talk about the money. 3 million? -for what do you take me? it's our standard contract. why, do i seem to be the standard type? i've watched the program. it's all about the past. -do you have any idea of what i can tell about my past? we could offer 4 million. you can offer 6. call me this evening. listen, boys. -we'll try something new today... one man up. ok. bye. president, antonio pisapia is here. -good evening. we'll finish it. wait a moment. welcome, tony. i am gigi. -how are you? fine, thanks. saverio, my man! hi, tony, what's up? as you can see, kicking ass. -tony, what's this shit with your hair? some bastard told me to use this fucking shampoo... let's take our places? sure! that's your seat. -tony, in a few moments we'll be on live. i have prepared some questions. do you know that i used to sing here when you hadn't even been born? singing has always been my dream. when i was a child, i remember my father used to get real mad... but i just sang more and more. -he slapped me and i sang even more. i remember the stand mics. i remember mina, walter chiari and alberto lupo. alberto used to burst in laughs with me. i remember every stage where i stood, every song i sang, every dressing room... every flash from every photographer, every dedication on every album... the autographs, the tours, the restaurants, the laughs... every tear shed by every fan. -i was born in vico speranzella. i remember naples during the war. i was 8. i remember the bomb shelter under augustea square. and more... -i remember i used to have... 6 smokings, 150 shirts, 90 pairs of shoes. i remember the first time i wore handcuffs... every tear i shed. how i cried every time they moved me from one prison to the other. when the wardens submitted me to the anal inspection. -i remember every cellmate. i remember every time i had to lower my voice and every time i've been afraid to get on stage. i remember the flowers in the dressing rooms... the women outside the dressing rooms, eager to get closer to me. they used to find me interesting and it always ended in bed. they used to tell me i was handsome, but i never felt like being handsome. -i felt like being mighty. i never gave a damn. i remember everything. it's bull shit what they say about the coke fucking your memory. i've been sniffing for 30 years and i remember everything. -i remember all the coke i've sniffed. but everybody did it in those fucked up times. who can say he didn't? only the poor haven't done it. and they don't know what they've missed. -i remember when i've sung in new york... and frank sinatra had to come by and listen to the phenomenal tony. i remember my mother, when she was young. what can i say? she's still the most ravishing woman of my life. i remember a good friend, his name was antonio pisapia. -he was a terrific soccer player. he wanted to become coach and they never let him do it. and thus he killed himself. but they'll never suicide me... cause i remember one more thing: i've always loved freedom. -you don't have a fucking clue of what it means. i've always loved freedom. i'm a free man. hi, carmine! hi, tony! -what's new? life is shit, aniello. take care, tony! i'll row till capri! tell me how it tastes. -this film is dedicated to tina and sasá subtitles by kinofil and bastelik subtitles ripped (and hacked) by ravydavy a little past 10:00pm, i was dressed to the nines at brasserie 8-1/2. -located on the corner of "right now" and "everyone was there"... it was the place to see and be seen. look at that one. mary, hail a cab. do you think he's a model? a model what? -a model citizen, a model home... a model airplane? i think he's the dirty-haired gucci guy... with clean hair. he's so versatile. -why don't you go over and say hello? he's gorgeous. the only way to get a guy like him interested in me would be to pay. my love, there's no need for you to enter hookerville. carrie, i know what i look like. -then you can't see what i see. carrie! lynne cameron was a much sought after fashion-show producer... as valuable to a show's success as valium or velcro. i just told damian you have just so fucking saved my life. i did? -sorry, this is my boyfriend, damian. i use the term "boyfriend" loosely, as damian is clearly a homosexual. in that case, this is my boyfriend, stanford. you so have to be in this fashion show i'm doing. a mix of models and new york people with style. -and no one is more new york or has more style than you. lynne, i'm a writer. you're fucking doing my show if i have to hunt you down... skin you alive, and have one of the other models fucking wear you. i'll call you next week. could this place be any louder? -bye. i am so coming. to what? i'm not a model. then you can't see what i see. -i'll start with a salad with extra blue cheese dressing. thank you. are the vegetables on the veggie plate organic? they have beef pot pie on the menu, what do you think? i'll just have a cup of hot water with lemon. -thank you. isn't it hard to eat just organic all the time? it is so hard. last night i could not stop thinking about a big mac. i finally had to get dressed, go out and pick up a guy. -talk about a happy meal. lady, you have never looked better. your body is amazing. i hope so. i'm having nude photographs taken on wednesday. -what're you gonna do? have postcards made up... to hand out to prospective dates? this is not about a man's approval. this photo is just for me. so when i'm old and my tits are in my shoes... -i can look at it and say, "damn, i was hot." isn't that a little narcissistic? no one thinks that... when you get your seventh-grade picture taken. you weren't naked in that. that we know of. -look, i like my body. i'm getting these pictures taken, what's the big problem? no problem, you're my hero. i think it's fantastic that you can just put it out there. i can't even say yes to being in some charity fashion show. -"new york style"? yeah. you were asked to be part of that? that's huge. all the top designers are doing it. -they want you to be a model? no, it's a mix of real people... and models. i know the producer. you have to do it, you live for fashion. i do not live for fashion. -how many fashion shows did you drag me to during fashion week? eight, what's your point? why are you turning down... the chance to actually be in one? i do not belong on a runway. -runways are for models, not writers. what's the difference between strutting down a runway... and the way you strut down fifth avenue? strut? do i strut? am i a strutter? -i think it'd be fun. i was a teen model when the ralph lauren store opened in new haven. okay, it's amazing i was able to keep my lunch down just now. i just... i cannot imagine walking down a runway while people sit there and judge me. -no one would judge you. we judge models all the time. but you're not a model, you're one of the real people. exactly. i don't want people to think that i can't see the difference between a model and me. -who gives a fuck what people think? this is a fabulous opportunity. honey. you'll probably get to keep the clothes. i thought of that! -i'd do it in a new york minute. so would i. what do you think, mutey? while miranda would never dream of walking on a runway... she had no problem running on one. i happen to know you were on that treadmill for longer than 30 minutes. -that's illegal here at crunch fitness. i'm starting to train for the marathon. first time. wow! good for you. -i was the captain of my high-school track team, but the marathon... i'm dave. miranda. have a good workout. that's it? -is there more? i hope so. i've been watching you for months. i think that you are very sexy. so, what's the problem? -he said, "i think you're very sexy." and? i was wearing no makeup and my hanes $3 old man's undershirt. nice. i can't believe a guy would think that i was sexy. -okay, i'm hanging up now. i'm serious. smart, yes. sometimes cute, but never sexy. sexy is the thing... -i try to get them to see me as, after i win them over with my personality. you win men over with your personality? they want you to be a model? okay, i'm hanging up now. later that night, i got to thinking about narcissus. -a man so consumed with his own image, he drowned in it. did he have no best friends to mirror back a healthier view of himself? and why is it that we can see our friends perfectly... but when it comes to ourselves, no matter how hard we look... do we ever see ourselves clearly? samantha, on the other hand, saw herself a little too clearly. okay, samantha... -tiger, here, has a variety of music choices to ease you into the shoot... and help you to feel more comfortable. tiger? i've got some steely dan... i'm comfortable. okay. -camera, tiger. yes, sir. do you like your gynecologist? she's amazing, why? i think i might wanna see someone else. -what's happening? trey and i are still just talking. we're not ready to move back in yet. what's happening with your vagina? sweetie, i'm not bugged, it's just us listening. -maybe a yeast infection. but my gynecologist says no. but something's definitely off. what are the symptoms? i don't wanna talk about this. -can you call my machine and leave her number? do you know anyone that stanford could go out with? if we don't find someone, he's gonna start dating hookers. hookers? exactly. -charlotte... would you say that i'm strutting right now? charlotte decided for stanford blatch, it would have to be someone cute. someone with style, someone like... anthony marantino, her wedding-gown stylist. what? -anthony, hi. it's charlotte york macdougal. sorry, thought it was my mother. 15 phone calls to make sure... i get her the cheapest sheets i can, from bed, bath and friggin' beyond. -i was wondering if you were dating anyone now. i'm dating everyone now, why? i have this friend, stanford... what's he look like? he is adorable. -in a movie, who would play him? i don't know... a younger ed harris. that's hot. and speaking of hot, miranda ended her first date with captain crunch. -that was fun. i hope i didn't talk too much. i think the only words you actually said all night were, "that was fun." god, you are so sexy. what? -you don't think so? maybe he was right. after all, who was miranda to argue with the captain? hello? miss motherfucker... why have you not returned my last 200 phone calls? -lynne. i really don't think that i should do this show. i mean, come on, i am not a model. and as much as i would like to think... carrie, you're in or you're out, i don't have time for this. -i'm sure dolce gabbana can find someone else to dress. dolce gabbana? each designer picks the person they want to dress. dolce gabbana picked me? yes, fuckette. -and those are some picky italians. do you think that i would be able to keep the outfit? what's up, love? i'm coming. me likie. -perfect in the bust and the waist. turn, love. do we likie? no likie the length. we must take it up about four feet. -i know, i'm too short. but i'm very comfortable in heels. honestly, the higher the better. so feel free to put me up in the big gal shoes. walk, love. -if we gave it to heidi, we wouldn't have to take it up. heidi klum? yes, turn, love. yes, trot back. trot? -good. look what the pussies dragged in. hello, oscar. we're just calling me "o" now, love. who's this? -carrie bradshaw, our new york style model. model, god, no. i'm a writer. i'm paul denai. i'm a photographer. -i'm... sure, i love... i'm sorry. no, i'm sorry. i just... -i know your photographs. i'm doing a little behind-the-scenes book about fashion week. do you mind if i shoot your fitting? sorry, i wasn't ready. so go ahead. -that's the point, don't mind me. i like the element of surprise. i could give you a surprise, love. now, what's your opinion, love? me love or him love? -you, love. i don't know, whatever you think. no, changed my mind, got something better. that was bad. i'm sorry, i'm very uncomfortable having my photograph taken. -how does a girl who doesn't like having her picture taken wind up in a fashion show? i'm in it for the free goods. maybe... if i explained how a camera works over a glass of wine sometime... i've... never been a gal to turn down a free lesson. -or a free dress. here it is. do we likie? we likie! and speaking of uncomfortable... -okay... you can put your legs down now. it is not a yeast infection. it's not? i have an entire file of women... all with the same symptoms. itching, stinging, burning. -all of them think they have a yeast infection. it's not. it could be vulvodynia. is it serious? no. -it's mostly just uncomfortable. we can get it under control. i'm gonna prescribe a light antidepressant. but i'm not depressed. it's not for you. -it's for your vagina. your vagina's depressed? the mood elevator sort of corrects the imbalance. wait, how do you know your vagina's depressed? there are symptoms. -it can't meet its deadline? it always wants to go to krispy kreme? it's so funny, my vagina's depressed. stop. i might have vulvodynia. -vulva-what-ya? so, everyday... i have to keep a vagina journal. come on. a "dear vagina, why so blue?" kind of journal? -"dear vagina... "guess who i have a crush on?" more like: "itchy today? not itchy." -sounds like a bestseller. ready to order? i guess we're still waiting. but could i have a hot water and lemon? thanks. -i'm fine, but, charlotte, maybe your hmm-hmm would like an order of fries. i guess not, thank you. sorry i'm late. i had to pick up my nude contact sheets. look. -okay, but only until the food arrives. charlotte, i want your professional art-eye opinion. that's not very arty. i can see your... everything. -this is the full frontal. i just did that to warm up. you should have warned me, really. what's the big deal? it's just a vagina. -it's magnified. i've never even seen mine that close. you've never seen yourself up close and personal? have you seen yours that close? how'd i get involved? -you've never looked at yourself with a hand mirror? oh, my god! honey, i insist you go home right now and take a look. or better yet, take my compact and make a quick trip to the ladies' room. i don't want to look. -i think it's ugly. maybe that's why it's depressed. what did i miss? on their second date... miranda did most of the talking. -she was feeling confident and sexy. i like my life. i love my job, i love my friends. she couldn't believe how comfortable this new miranda felt. and i love meeting new people... like you. -miranda had no idea what had changed. i want pure class. i'm thinking ash... or a charcoal-gray matte inside the frame. inch on either side? even though samantha had done the photo just for her... she still wanted to be seen a certain way by men. -charcoal would bring out the gray tones. the matte should stop about an inch away from my breast... right here, see my breast? and then stop right around here, near my ass. see that? right near my ass. -how's next thursday? whatever. and you took this one of cindy crawford. see, "photo by paul denai." how can you still remember? -it was the '90s. it was '92. i loved her beauty mark so much. i used to pencil one on, you know, and then... i'd move it around whenever i had a blemish. -so, you know, it'd be here, then here... and sometimes here and here. here's another one. man. i can't believe you have this book. it's getting embarrassing. -are you crazy? i love this. when i first moved to new york, and i was broke... sometimes i would buy vogue instead of dinner. i just felt it fed me more. i used to do all that high-fashion shit... but the behind-the-scenes stuff i'm doing now is so much better. -it's more real. real. ick. the reality of people and all their little flaws... it's the little flaws that make them so much more beautiful. forget reality and tell me about the models. -who's a big bitch and who's a bigger bitch? sorry... i never click and tell. why are you so fascinated with the models? i just love 'em. -they're just beautiful. i wanna show you something. you show me... one model... who's more alive... or more beautiful than her. so, which one is your new boyfriend? it was only one kiss. -it's so predictable. a model dating a photographer. stanny, i'm a model. excuse me. i may have a stroke. -do i look all right? i'm nervous about the charlotte fix-up. you look fabulous, have fabulous seats. everything's gonna be fabulous. i can't think about you now. -i'm a model. you're a supermodel. i made them put me in these super high heels. i'm gonna be so freaking tall. supermodel and super size it, please. -excuse me, hi, i'm carrie bradshaw. where do i go? over with the non-models. what's her problem? gucci and dolce and dior. -oh, my. look, this is the polaroid of the dress. me likie. that's a fashion thing. here's one of frank rich. -and fran lebowitz. these are the other real people? okay, what the fuck's wrong? frank rich, lynne? fran lebowitz? -what, dolce gabbana couldn't get ed koch? gucci got him, what's the problem? i'm such an idiot. actually convinced myself i belonged here. you do belong here. -can i go home? no, the entire show is timed per model. i'm a non-model. but you're fabulous. lighten up. -okay, so you're not heidi klum. but you're the modeliest of the real people. i mean, he told me i was sexy. and then he didn't want to kiss me. was it me? -suddenly i wasn't sexy? what does it mean? who knows? he's a man. you can lay your pussy on a table in front of one... and still not know what he's thinking. -and just when i thought it couldn't get any worse... there's been a change, you're not wearing this. you're wearing this. okay. i'm gonna need to speak to someone. -i had to lose the dress, love. i saw that dior is showing something similar right before you. it's a fashion house of cards. i can't wear jeweled underwear. i just want you to look at them. -aren't they fantastic? how can i make this clear? me no likie. paul, can you do something? okay, but not that. -oh, my god! try them on, you'll love them. no, please, really, i'm gonna faint. i can't wear jeweled panties and strut out in front of frank rich. i respect frank rich. -frank rich is a writer. you're not just wearing panties, love. they come with a fantastic coat. trot round there and try them on. i have a certain look, you know? -and i just really don't think... that jeweled panties is it. if you look like a whale, we won't send you out there. we're dolce gabbana, for chrissakes. now come out or i'm coming in. god! -fantastic. now the hair's all wrong. we need big hair. char, this is so exciting. stanford blatch, this is anthony marantino. -hi. marantino, is that italian? sicilian. is that different? yeah. -i'd better go check on carrie. ed harris? try "ed, i have no hair-is." i thought you two would hit it off. why, because he's gay and i'm gay? -let me clear something up for you. i'm a nice little package. i got good arms and a high, tight ass. i could do a lot better. ten minutes and ten hair extensions later... -i can't believe charlotte would set me up with such a queen. is that who she thinks i am? someone who'd date such queen? i don't have time to decipher the levels of queendom in your world right now. would you please go get me another champagne? -that is big hair. thank you. orlando, she looks fabulous. we need the big eyes to go with the big hair. kevyn aucoin, carrie bradshaw. -nice to meet you, ready for makeup? okay, sure. hi, i know you're a genius, but here's the thing. i'm a writer. i know, i'm a big fan of your column. -don't worry, you're gonna look fabulous. okay. okay? here. nobody's listening to me. -they keep telling me i'm fabulous. you are fabulous. bring samantha here. she'll tell me the truth. i can't go back. -that queen's out there. go. crisis. carrie needs to see you backstage. where's her highness? -what? your little friend, where is he? he had to go. why? he didn't like me? -he had... a decorating emergency. i've been rejected by someone i wasn't interested in. i hate when that happens. lynne, we're okay to go. lights, go. -music cue four, go. gucci. samantha? tell me the truth. i know people don't mean it when they say that, but i do. -honey... you're a model. you'd tell me, right? absolutely. you're a model. look how tall i am. -the shoes were my idea. christian dior. i gotta get out there. go, model. all right. -you're heidi klum. wow! those are fantastic. really? do i look okay? -you look fabulous. thanks. okay, let's go. okay. bye. -bye-bye. wait till you see our gal. really? when is she coming out? she's next. -dolce gabbana. carrie, go. didn't i tell you? fuck me hard! heidi, go. -oh, my god, she's fashion roadkill. stop fucking taking my picture. i had a choice, i could slink off the runway and let my inner model die of shame... or i could pick myself up, flaws and all, and finish. and that's just what i did. because when real people fall down in life... they get right back up and keep on walking. -katia, go. turns out, my little act of bravery... inspired three other people to acts of bravery as well. miranda faced her fear of knowing the truth. hi. hi. -i'm really confused. i thought we had a good time and then you never called. and i never called because you never called. i guess that's fine, but... i just have to know. -did i do something? no. yeah... i don't know. we were sitting on the couch, and you just... -you seem a little full of yourself. okay, glad we straightened that out. cheeseburger and fries. samantha faced her fear of what real food would do to her perfect figure. thanks. -nice ass. i didn't tip you enough. and charlotte faced her fear of seeing herself. and just like narcissus before her... charlotte became so mesmerized by what she saw, that... -and as for me... i tucked my jeweled underwear and my inner model away... where they belonged... and went back to my life as a real person. subtitles conformed by softitler i called your adoption agency because i realized that, while i'm professionally successful, -personally, something's missing. i have a lot of love to give, and i know that i would make a good and decent father. that's beautiful. but all i asked was your date of birth. -sorry. i'm... a little nervous. i don't think he's doing well. we've gotta do something. -next question -- is your -- oh, sorry to interrupt. carter, thanks for writing the speech. you're a very thoughtful, intelligent, responsib person. -thank you, caitlin. sorry about that. uh, please continue. carter... great job on that budget report. -it was very... loving and fathering. uh, again, i'm sorry. they're my friends. they're just trying to help. -oh, there you are, carter. i wanted to thank you for taking me to that baseball game, buying me a hot dog, and giving me that talk about the birds and the bees. -carter, you're the greatest. that story was a bit much. actually, that one really happened. sir, the latest election polls are in. oh, excellent. -i'm beating wheeler by 19% among young adults, 14% among women -- heh heh. i'm down 6% with seniors. what do those geezers have against me? it's a mystery, sir. oh, guys, guys -- wheeler's new campaign ad. -i'm julian wheeler, and i believe in protecting the environment. what about winston? i believe that technology is the future. what about winston? -and i believe in old-fashioned family values. what about winston? for a better new york, vote wheeler. bravo, sir. -you looked great. sir... my gut says we retaliate. he attacks us, we attack him. let's hit him back with everything we got. -thank you, sonny corleone. sir, focus-group research indicates that voters prefer politicians who stay positive and stick to the issues. thank you, brenda miller. -who's brenda miller? some brainy girl i used to cheat off in high school. you know, sir... we could always hit them with some snaps. snaps? -witty remarks, like "wheeler's mama is so fat... when she hauls ass, she has to make two trips." well, i've heard some compelling arguments. i prefer to run my campaign on issues, not on insults. -so i'm gonna go with caitlin on this one. thank you, sir. in fact, i've decided to choose one of you to be the point person for all campaign strategies. well, thank you, sir. -i'm honored. since caitlin has the most campaign experience, i'm choosing her. good call, sir. well, the adoption agency says i'm still number 3,000 -on the waiting list. at this rate, i'll have a baby when i'm 87. i'll be too old to teach him how to throw a baseball. on the upside, you have 50 years to learn yourself. guess who. -chanel no. 5... lavender hand cream... brian? carter! you know it's me. -i can't believe you're here! michelle, what are you doing in town? carter told me everything he was going through trying to adopt. i knew he was upset, so here i am. -we've always been there for each other. even in high school, carter was there to cheer me up when i got dumped by the captain of the football team. and michelle gave me a shoulder to cry on when he dumped me. hello, michelle. -it's so very nice to see you again. as always, you look lovely. thank you, stuart. you are so sweet. what do you say we go get some lunch? -great idea. see you guys later. goodbye, michelle. it was lovely seeing you. have a lovely afternoon. -so, how long have you had a crush on michelle? what are you talking about? i just think it was lovely the way you said she was lovely. stop it. -lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely. you don't know what you're talking about. now, if you'll excuse me, mr. jerry flynn, the king of porn, is doing a video signing. -you really want to see the king of porn? what's happening to me? you like michelle. why don't you tell her? i can't. -i get near her, i can barely talk. maybe carter could talk to her for you. oh, carter can't know. he'll either disapprove, or worse -- get emotionally supportive. -okay, i've just called wheeler's headquarters, and i've set up a sit-down meeting with him. we'll get him in a room, liquor him up, make him spill some secrets, and ruin his campaign. no, we're gonna sit down, air out our differences, -and establish ground rules. then we'll liquor him up and ruin his campaign. no. we should be beating this guy into the dirt. you need to pull back on the testosterone. -you need to pull back on the -- what is that stuff chicks have? there's a reason the mayor made me the point person. i've run successful campaigns, and this is how i do it. whatever. -oh, i see what this is about. you're upset that the mayor chose me over you. he made the call. i'm fine with it. there's a lot more going on in your head than you let on. -like right now, what are you thinking? right now. those dancing hot dogs from the "let's all go to the lobby" end movie song. why do i bother? * let's all go to the lobby... -hi, stuart. oh, hey, michelle. where's carter? he went out for a while. i'm having a beer. -i'll get you one. that would be... glorious. "glorious"? all right, calm down. -you can do this. don't freak out. you're the man. you're freaking out. you're not the man. -here you go. stuart? are you trying to say something? i've really liked you for a long time, and i would love to go out with you. -i don't know what to say. i always imagined you saying, "are you kidding? i want nothing to do with you." oh, and then you laugh. i would love to go out with you. -why? i mean, cool. no, "why" was right. remember two christmases ago when carter dragged us to rockefeller center -to watch that figure-skating show? yeah, it was freezing. and you gave me your mittens. that's when i knew i liked you. why didn't you tell me? -you're always so proper around me. "you look so lovely." "it's lovely to see you." i mean, when i a guy likes a girl, you're supposed to say, "baby, i wanna get with you." -that was what was in my heart. wheeler's 20 minutes late. he'll be here, sir. then we'll work out a solution to these personal attacks. if this doesn't work, -we could always bake him some cookies. i need a drink. excuse me. you know, you could try to be a little more supportive. i'm here, aren't i? -if you expect me to be your cheerleader -- who's that guy sitting with the mayor? i don't know. wait. that's jerry flynn. -he's, like, the city's king of porn. we're being set up. thanks, mr. mayor. oh, by the way... mr. wheeler will not be able to make it. -he's gone way too far this time. i'll say -- wheeler should've called if he knew he was gonna cancel. this is exactly what i've been waiting for. why didn't you tell me you liked me? -we could've been doing this a long time ago. we have been... in my mind. you want to see what we've been doing in my mind? oh! -michelle... good. you're here. there's something i want to talk to you about. actually, there's something i want to talk to you about. -me first. you know how much i want to have a child. and adoption will take forever. so i decided that the best thing to do be would be get a surrogate. -carter, that's a great idea. i'm glad you think so, because i was hoping maybe you'd consider doing it. wow! i'm touched that you would ask. -but, well, i-it's complicated. i understand - you live in a different city, it's a huge commitment, it could affect our friendship, stuart's arm is around your waist. -why is stuart's arm around your waist? michelle and i are -- what are we? well, i-i guess we're dating. you're dating stuart? -why? i asked her the same question. carter, i'm gonna seriously consider what you've asked me, but, um... i feel like stuart and i have started something -that could really be special, so i want to make sure that he's comfortable with it. well? am i comfortable with carter impregnating my new girlfriend? -no. have you seen the headlines -- "mayor dines with smut king"? "winston's breast buddy"? "winston - -a porn leader." what paper was that in? none. i just thought it was kind of funny. well, it's not. -we have tried to take the high road, but wheeler has gone too far. if you think it's time to go after this guy, we're ready. i have never lost an election, and i'm sure as hell not gonna lose one now. -i'll admit, i was wrong about wheeler. he's a lowlife. so what do we do now? stuart's checking his tax history with the i.r.s., and carter's looking for any criminal record. -maybe one night, he got into a drunken bar fight, stole a car, and drove into the hudson river. that's my story. it sounded familiar as i was saying it. hey, guys, a buddy of mine says -wheeler's been showing up at his apartment building with some little chippy. i can't believe he has a woman on the side. that's what a chippy is? wow! -that's even better! this is huge. he's got a wife and four kids. i'm not sure this sex scandal is the way to go. this guy's whole platform is about family values. -i know, but we don't have any proof. then we'll get some. we'll stake out his building and take some pictures. maybe we'll catch him drunk in a rooftop pool, playing naked marco polo with a lonely divorcée from 3-g. -i gotta stop telling you my stories. real nice, carter. you show no class. you know, i can't believe michelle is listening to the opinion of man -whose internet name is "boob monger." well, she is, and for the last time, it's "boob meister." when are you gonna grow up? when are you gonna stop being a pompous jerk? guys, come on, you've been at it all day. -now, the three of us, we're gonna sit down, and nobody's leaving until we fix this. okay. what's going on? i just started to date carter's best friend, -and now he wants her to carry his gay baby. you guys will work it out. you know what? i hope you're happy. you know how much i want to have a child, -and michelle is the only person i'd want to be my surrogate. you can still adopt. the waiting list for a new baby is two years! by that time, rosie o'donnell will have taken the good ones! have you thought about what michelle might mean to me? -she could be the greatest thing that's happened in my life. but instead of being happy for me, all you think about is how it affects you. yeah? well -- -at least i don't eat food out of the garbage. it was one unpeeled tangerine! would you let it go? ! so i guess you're not on board for carter's baby plan, huh? -for once, he's being petty and selfish. i thought about this, and i know i'm right. well, i'm sure you are. although you may want to ask yourself what if you and michelle don't work out? -is that worth risking your friendship with carter? on the other hand, it may work out. what if you and michelle are together forever? isn't nine months a small sacrifice if you can give your best friend immeasurable happiness? -well, i'm sure you've thought of all the angles. all these years, and you choose this moment to start making sense. i pick my spots, boob meister. you ever been on a stakeout before? -not on this end. this is a waste of time. if we get out of here now, i could still make my date. you have a date tonight? we got the van. -wait. chippy -- 3:00. he's got his arm around her, and they're kissing. ah! you are so busted. -you know what? this is wrong. if we go public with this, we'll be coming down to his level. i say, "run a positive campaign," you're against it. now i'm ready to go negative, and you're against that? -what's your problem? i'm a complicated dude. you can't handle taking orders from me. that's not true. you're not in control, so you're undermining me. -why else would you want to protect this jerk? because he's got kids, okay? look, when i was growing up, i idolized my father. once day, me and some friends, we skipped school, and we were hanging out in the city, -and i saw him coming out of a hotel, kissing another woman. i never told anyone about it, and i never looked at him the same way again. i know wheeler's a sleaze, but i don't want his kids to find out because of me. -you've held on to this pain for so long. go ahead. let it out. it's out. that explains so much. -i mean, do you think that's why you're with so many women? no, i just really like sex. these pictures might be enough to give us the election. i'll leave it up to you. i want you to know that i was a psych minor in college, -and if you ever want to sift through your repressed feelings about your father -- charlie! hey, stuart. i was, uh, thinking about what you said, -and you're right. so you're gonna stop wearing those red leather pants? i was so busy thinking about my own problems, i couldn't see how much this meant to you. i'm really happy you found each other. -really? yeah. she's an amazing woman. she's way out of your league. my mother said the same thing. -what are those? i've decided to search for a new surrogate. i've divided them into three separate categories -- professionals, artists -- what are those? -bad fashion sense. hey, guys. hey, michelle. carter, i want you to know i've been up all night thinking about your proposal. -it's a huge commitment, both physically and emotionally. i'll probably be moody all the time. i'll be sick every morning. my breasts will get huge. there are a million reasons why i shouldn't do this. -but i want to anyway. why? i can't think of anyone who deserves to be a father more than you do. and helping you get there could be -one of the most important things i ever do in my life. you okay with that, stuart? well, i thought about it, and if anybody has to knock up my girlfriend, i want it to be my gay roommate. -you know... in a strange way, that's beautiful. charlie... you look terrible. -i was out late with mandy. i'm too old to be fooling around in vans. i'm not 29 anymore. here are the pictures. have you decided what you want to do? -no. i keep going back and forth. so, crawford... i understand you have some pictures. what do you plan to do with them? -i'll tell you what i plan to do with them. i'm gonna send them to the papers and watch you go down in flames. then we've got nothing to talk about. wait. -why should i stoop to your level? i'm not gonna use the pictures. okay. on the other hand... i'd do anything to get winston re-elected. -then again, this is not how i want to do it. i'm lost. are we using the pictures or not? i don't know. i think i worked myself into a corner. -how am i losing to you guys? you've got kids, and they don't need to know about this, so i'm not using the pictures. but... oh, jeez! -i'm not giving them to you either. if you take any more shots at the mayor... i will bury you. nice. when i win, -there may be a place for you in my administration. i'm sorry i made this so difficult. i never should have let my... personal issues affect our work. -it's refreshing to see you like that. on the outside, you have this macho shell, and on the inside, you have this... creamy fruit filling? sensitive side. -you have so many deep, repressed issues. let it out. it's out. what do you think? it's a very important debate. -we need something sharper. how about this -- "wheeler's mama is so fat when she dances, the radio station skips"? doesn't quite pop, does it? here we go -- "wheeler's mama's so fat, on halloween, she says 'trick or meatloaf.'" -snap. sit, ubu, sit. good dog. (barking) moo. -strangers are here! strangers again! the vibrant colours of turkey, have given way to the colour of death with incredibly high speed. death by pneumonia! in the past 6 months, the disease has claimed 2049 lives, in the bursa region alone. -although pneumonia is not infrequent in third world countries. this outbreak in turkey is highly uncommon. the united nations health organization, has dispatched a delegation of 4 international scientists, on a field trip to the desert of anatolia, to find out what possibly went wrong. the turkish government invited 26 nations, to their national day. hello! -someone's here. park won jung. it's still warm. you'll be too fat, to reel in the rich guys? customers! -your intuition again? these two; want to bet? my jacket! good morning! how can i help you? -we want to equip our villa gym. sure! what's this? pectoral deck! which means? -for chest muscles! this? for back muscles! face this way, pull down! hello, i'm the manager! -i'm stan! can i help you? the lower body gets a workout. i can do that, it's easy! you can adjust the weight, in small increments. -follow him! this is sturdy! try it! an exercise ball? popular in america! -suitable for the whole family! very handy! show as! sure! sit here! -do stretches, arm exercises! bounce, bounce! then leg exercises! go down, legs like this. trains the abdomen! -to get up, just push, and you're up! for the belly! do pushups like this. or like this! if you can't, then... do them like this. -or like this! if you still can't, you can do this. wonderful! any other tricks? no! -keep it simple! like a trampoline! it's tougher, than that machine! you're kidding! no! -show us! 1, 2, 3! and forward! 1, 2, 3! great! -that's too hard! teach me aerobics instead. your cappuccinos! was he a circus clown? he'll be gone. -this is fun, come here! honey, let's go! let's get some! wait! i can set up... a demo in your office! -leave me your number! sir! you in a rush? no! why opened the door then? -you! you're a salesman! sell to the one who pays. not to the girl! i didn't. -pay attention! you've sold balls, not machines. rent is high here. don't sell any more balls. you must check the alarm. -i just did, today. wonder why it went off. this is bad. what is it? sir... -it's a false alarm. robbery! call for you! a false alarm. but, sir! -robbery! get out! freeze! police! calm down! -guns down! okay! that teller is one of them. let's bring them down. you're crazy! -when? i'll help! guns down! over here! what? -he took the money! run! robbery! robbery! call the police! -take the freight elevator! 18th floor is the top! oh, no! don't worry! don't worry! -she's so tall! the money! it's all here! money! thanks! -witch! i'll teach you! go to hell! police! freeze! -look for a back exit! guns down! no back exit! the suspect jumped onto a crane. freeze! -stop! on your knees! on your knees! drop the bag! drop the bag! -get down! sir, i'm just... trying to help. how did you know they were robbers? i guessed, from intuition! you often rely on that? -sometimes! weren't you afraid? not at first, then it was too late. but i proved my intuition... was correct. you know kung-fu? -i learned in the orphanage! i was small, often got beat up. i swore i'd be big and strong, and be a policeman. did you make it? of course! -but the coach at the academy, was the bully at my orphanage. so i left! if i were in america! i could have joined the army. or the fbi! -or even the cia! i could be a spy! what a day! i did the bravest thing... in my life. have you found a job?

the ones at parties. go to a party, you want to meet the man - no! she's got to take you over to him. -come and meet him. he adores you. that sounds like some good friends of mine. itt makes a man feel cherished. cherished? -they're just manipulating the world, so it's a complete bloody mystery to him. she's the only one who will ever understand this extraordinarily complicated menu that she has written. before you know it, they're all film producers. darling, it's no mystery. come on, eddie, tuck in. -it's no mystery. two winners don't get on. it just doesn't work. it's the same in all relationships. if you put racehorses together, they kick the shit out of each other. -tom and nicole. bruce and demi. liam and noel. disaster. what a racehorse wants is a donkey - a little donkey, a goat, a little companion. -i need a slash. it's the same in all relationships. this little glib phrase that patsy says like that, but... why didn't i feel good enough about myself to think that i could be the racehorse? i think i'm the donkey. -i don't want to be the fat donkey. i want to be the racehorse. i suppose it's not impossible for two donkeys to get on. i think you're horrid because if you perceive others as failures, it makes you feel better about yourself. well done. -nonsense. that's magazine speak. no. i wrote about it in an article. in a magazine. -you have no idea of the pressures i've been under. you dance like an angel on the pinhead of success for so long, and the moment you're out of the spotlight, they cut you down. but i think you'll find i was always generous in my professional life. you ask people who worked with me. dawn french! -i'm going to have your guts for garters. horrible! well, everyone has their crutches. security blankets. being mean is yours. -i've got one of those by my cooker. no, no. that's a fire blanket. oh, right. toss! -exactly. i mean, not everybody has them. i haven't got one. oh, don't worry, eddie. what are you talking about? -what? you're fat. fat! surely you can see that. we can't miss it. -what's yours, patsy? well, it's obvious. what? it's your fringe. oh! -the 60s forelock. push it back. let's see what you look like under there. no, don't touch me. no! -come on. for heaven's sake, patsy. no! these things can't be taken too quickly. at least you can pin your fringe back, whereas you can't pin your fat back. -you are mean! epiphany! you see, that was the kickstart. i wanted to fit in those stalls with the racehorses. so i decided to reinvent myself - restyle myself. -the new svelte, tanned, smooth, luggageless me. there was something about it, i don't know what it was. there was just something about that word. detox! i want to detox. -it's just another fad. i agree. no one diets any more. you're not fat, just full of toxins. just full of poison. -well, that's not news. now, look, this is my book. i can work upside-down. plenty of practice with blue peter. now, it's basically just eat meat and drink water till you need a b12. -drink water. so no more booze. what about exercise? no one's going to the gym, so i want to do the one that, you know... boot camp. -yes. military fitness. military. mum, this is madness. darling, this is my life! -in three weeks, i want to be on the cusp of organ failure. good for you! i want my body just to be a relief map of veins. i want to be an x-ray with a pulse. even your cells can't eat that fast. -eddie, we hate these women. do we? looking as though you've shoved your tits into a pencil sharpener. it's all right for you. you've always looked like that. -you're probably like me, patsy. i mean, sometimes i just forget to eat. patsy hasn't eaten since 1974. well, there was that crisp. oh, yes, the crisp. -poor old patsy. she couldn't keep anything down. she lost most of her back teeth to stomach acid. at least i didn't drink my own piddle. that was a very mean trick. -i hope that was my piddle, was it? i've done every diet. i've done the hay diet, the cabbage diet. the blood group diet, where you have to eat the food your ancestors would have gathered. my ancestors were whale gatherers - thanks to you! i've done combining... -combining food with alcohol. three meals a day is what you should stick to. three good meals a day! and then they had sex! there, that's a good scene! -your stomach's like a dog that doesn't know when it's going to be fed, so it hangs around until you want to kick it. that is it. that is it! i am going to do this. i am going to get thin. -witness. witness. witness. witness. come on. -come on. come on, let's go. all right. three bird knees. here we go. -three bird knees. up in the air. squat, then star jump. squat thrust, then star jump. come on! -come on! keep moving. come on! come on. i've got snot all over my face! -you will never get there if you don't do it. i can't do it! just do it. up you come. well done. -down you go. good stuff. move on. and on the bar, chest on the bar, and down and up... it's enormous! come on, concentrate. -come on. third time lucky. come on. let's do it again. come on! -eddie. don't! cheers, darling. don't! don't want it. -don't want it. don't want it. i don't want it. good for you, mum. you've changed your tune, darling. -anyway, i'm going to be thin. i'm going to do thin things, you know. i want to be sort of eri bendy. i want to be sort of hip hanging. i'd like to take my clothes off and not be marked by them. -i never thought it worried you. yeah. 90% of awake time and 100% of sleep time i worry about it. eddie, you look fine. you dress like... a fat billboard. i know! -is that why you wear labels, so the designer takes the blame? clunk clunk! it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. dky bosoms. not mine. -dolce and gabbana fat thighs. not mine! oh, eddie, this is no fun. i know it's no fun, darling, but it's dieting. i have to diet. -must think about dieting. what are you eating? what are you doing today while i'm dieting? i met an old school friend, so he's coming round later. i met him at the royal court. -i finished my play... oh? oh. they might be doing it as a workshop in the studio. oooh! -if he's at all good-looking, have sex with him. i'm worried your business is going to heal over. hello. hey, how are you? fantastic. -wow! like it. i cannot believe we met like that. i knew it was you immediately. you haven't changed. -neither have you. wow. very nice. yeah. so what side of the business did you say you were on again? -oh, i'm a writer. i wrote something for the edinburgh... yes, please. and, well, the royal court are really interested, so they want to workshop it. well, it's a piece about social struggle and sort of... sorry. -you are a writer, so... yeah. yeah. hey, i'm an actor. bear me in mind. great. -what are you working on now? were we in the same class at school? because i thought... same year, yeah. yeah. -you sat next to me in maths. hey, maths. love it, yeah. yeah, of course. anyway, what did you say you did again? -oh, yeah. well, you know, my agent's being very protective at the moment, not letting me take stuff in case it interferes with the big plan. which is? oh, you know. movies, i.a., whatever. -patsy was experimenting with hairstyle variety. great. are those for me? thanks. you look nice. -what? what? i don't know how they get people to go to these parties. it's cocaine. lines inside means lines outside. -donatella is a genius. six. possibly eight. and i said, "what's that sound?" and he said, "that, taylor, is the sound of doors opening." -and i've been practically... knee-deep in scripts ever since. but you are so right. relationships suffer. you must know. -you're a writer. you know, two-way traffic. have you got a girlfriend? ex-girlfriend, yeah. singer-dancer, shelagh kidron? -of? starlight express? no. are they? you? -yeah? no, i don't. may i? oh, yes. please, yes. -sorry. anyway, just er... couple for later. racehorse and donkey. it's a glib phrase, but racehorse and donkey. once you've figured it out, the world makes sense. -yes, i know. i'm telling you now, he's an absolute stud. bye. candy! darling. -how are you doing?

"nurraluit" is the word for spring. it means, "the time when the caribou calves are born". until recently, the great migrations of the caribou were shrouded in mystery. "the wandering ones" would simply disappear in winter and then reappear the following spring. -minutes after a calf is born it will learn to know its mother. her smell and her call will stay with the calf so strongly that she'll be recognized, even in a group of tens of thousands. this bond will last until the young caribou is old enough to fend for itself. this spring, close to half a million calves will be born in this herd. unlike wolf cubs, who are born blind and don't open their eyes for almost two weeks, this young calf must be strong enough to run with the herd within 48 hours. -wolves, bears, even eagles, prey on the young caribou. but the worst of the predators is the tiny mosquito. as much as a million liters of blood a week will be drained from the caribou into the mosquitoes. soon after the calves are born the caribou start gathering. small bands flow together, finally forming massive herds. -over a million strong, the george and leaf river herds of northern quebec and labrador are the largest assembly of migrating mammals on earth. during the short weeks of the northern summer the herd will wander from desolate coastline to mountainous highlands, feeding their young and fattening up for the hard winter ahead. on the other side of the arctic circle in northern sweden, the saami have lives not unlike their neighbors, the "inuit". at the center of saami culture is herding reindeer, the caribou's close cousin. the epic stories and legends of the saami are told in song. -apmut kuoljok comes from a family of herders and epic singers. with no written language until recently, singers like apmut are the history books of their people. my song praises the mountain, the reindeer and our tradition. autumn is my favorite season, a time when i see my friends and my family. a time for the saami people to help each other and to live in the ancient way. -when i was a boy, we were still nomads. we lived with the reindeer all the time and followed the herd everywhere. my father had reindeer that worked for us. but i think, we really worked for the reindeer. looking after them wasn't always so easy. -but i can still hear the music from their bells. today i sang to the reindeer. i hope they heard me calling. i hope my song worked. the saami haven't let time pass them by. -reindeer are still at the center of their culture, and the roundup is as important as ever. but they take what they need from modern technology. helicopters and horses, singing and cell phones whatever works best. this year, apmut's song to the reindeer must've worked its magic. the saami gathered together 5,000 animals from out of the woods and mountains. -but getting the reindeer into the corral is only half the job. oh, the radio signal is very weak, so lets go higher. how much you want me to go? up to 5,000 feet. there is no roundup in the canadian north. -and no one's ever tamed the caribou. you just can't call them out of the mountains with a song. today the caribou can be tracked using radio transmitters. for the last year and a half biologists have been following a female caribou they fitted out with a radio collar. for the first year they traced her as she traveled for more than 6,000 kilometers. -since last april she's gone almost half that distance again. this was her last known position. you might think it would be easy to spot 10,000 caribou, but not when they're wandering a territory roughly twice the size of france. okay. slow down on advancement. -slow down a bit, there's a big bunch here. let's net this one from the'copter'. okay. slow down... slow down... -fasterl the one with the antler. this will be the shot. slow down... okay, that one, that one! -yes, sirl roll her, get on the side. adamie and biologist serge couturier hope that with a new radio collar, this caribou may help to unravel the herd's mysterious migrations. antlers, female's. what age? -there are so many caribou now, they seem to go on forever. but i know this was not always true. when my father was a boy, there were no caribou. the wandering ones had gone away, but they had not returned. my father did not see one until he was an old man. -now, we're finding out where the caribou go. that is good to know. but can anyone tell us that they will always come back? i do not think so. the caribous long trek southward will not be an easy one. -the migration is especially hard on the young. out of the half a million calves born in the spring only a quarter will survive their first winter. in the corral, the saami herders start the autumn roundup by harvesting a number of bulls for food. the saami call themselves "the people of the sun and the wind". -the ancestors of these men and women domesticated the reindeer centuries before people elsewhere in the world had tamed the horse. the roundup isn't all work. it's also a big social event. i haven't seen my daughter lisabeth for almost a year. this old house has been in our family for generations. -it holds wonderful memories for both of us. apmut sings of the master reindeer, a celestial bull who hides in the northern lights. one night, when the lights were at their brightest, the legendary bull rode the stars down to earth and stole the reindeer from the saami. ever since then, the saami have been watchful in case he should return one day and steal the herd again. today in the corral, battles for supremacy break out among the descendants of that legendary bull of the northern sky. -since that night when the master reindeer came from the sky and stole the herd, the saami take precautions not to lose their reindeer again. the herders now carefully mark each calf. on one ear, the herder puts his family's mark. on the other ear, he puts his own. all the marks of all the families are recorded in a great book, an ancient registry, where every saami counts his wealth in recorded earmarks. -apmut is a respected elder of the saami. so is this old bull. they both have been given the honor of the final act of the roundup. this may be one of my last roundups, and this old fellow's, too. i've known him since i marked him as a calf many, many years ago. -now his last job is to guide the others out of the corral, back to the woods and mountains, back to freedom. the saami believe that the reindeer belong to the sun and the wind. they are only on loan to human beings. the saami also believe that as long as the reindeer are allowed their freedom they will always return, like the sun, like the wind. it is the heart of winter in the canadian arctic, and all the caribou are gone. -the "inuit" have a story that when the caribou leave them for the winter, they go to the caribou house, a hollow mountain, far, far away. over the years, many foolish hunters have followed them, but none has ever returned. my grandfather nanook lived his whole life in an igloo. the snow house was the only home he knew. i have not lived that way. -but i know how to build an igloo, because my father taught me. now, things are so much different. my son papak is almost a grown man, yet he has never lived in an igloo, not even one night. but tonight, he will sleep in his snow house. maybe he will dream that his great grandfather smiled at him. -if i don't teach my son our ways, nobody will. then my grandfather's shame would be with me forever. i came to this place many years ago with my father. he taught me how to turn my sled into a ladder. he taught me how to find food deep under the ice. -now i've taught my son to come here, but only when the full moon draws the tide far back. only then can you gather the mussels. and even then, you must be quick. papak says that he feels safe here. i'm glad that i've shown him this place. -"the patient man survives," that's one of the things my grandfather nanook loved to say. nanook could wait all day for a seal. and his patience was rewarded. one seal meant food, clothing, light and heat for a week. for the hunter and for his family. -patience is everything for us. to wait is not a waste of time. our hunt was successful. now, it's time to celebrate and to thank the animals. legend has it that "inuit" women learned to sing this way from the "tunnituarruit." -half human, half birdlike creatures, all covered with tattoos, who once lived in the dark corners of abandoned igloos. the sounds come from the wild geese. the words, from the northern lights. my father learned to hunt from his father, nanook. "nanook" means "the great white bear", the fiercest hunter of them all. -nanook made hunting seem like play. when my father was still a boy our people suffered through a terrible winter. we were starving. one day nanook, "the great white bear", went out to hunt for caribou. he never came back. -maybe the power of the inukshuk didn't travel with him. maybe the wind drowned out the whispering of its voices. we all need those voices. we all need their help sometimes. my name is adamie inukpuk. -i have listened to the voices of this land for over 5,000 years. a fine day deniz, are you there? pick up. what was up this morning? -you needn't have left so soon. if you want, we can see each other later. give me a call. you're playing it safe, baby. if it doesn't work out with the one, there's still the other. -that was a bit too heavy. try again. you're playing it safe, baby. if it doesn't work out with the one, there's still the other. the first was ok but the second should be a bit tighter. -that was good. that isn't true. to you, all girls are inter- changeable. on the contrary. "on the contrary" a bit tighter, please. -you're playing it safe, baby. if it doesn't work out with the one, there's still the other. that isn't true. to you, all girls are inter- changeable. on the contrary. -what's wrong? what's wrong! what took you so long? i've been waiting here an hour. it took longer at the studio. -you could've phoned. there wasn't time. no time for a phone call? no. new shirt? -no. just haven't worn it lately. suits you. thanks. want another drink? -a coke. what did you do today? nothing special. cleaned up. went to the library. -i read and did some thinking. about what? about quitting my studies. it's a waste of time. are you sure? -yeah. these guys i study with, all obsessed with their careers. it bores me stiff. such people are everywhere. but that's no reason to hide. -that may be. but it's not as easy as you think. i know it's not easy. but you've already quit so many things. so what? -what do you want to do now? we'il see. let's drop it. i saw your girlfriend on the street yesterday. who? -the blonde with the short hair. i forget her name. you mean marie. she's not my girlfriend. more of an acquaintance. -you like her. come off it. we've known each other so long. i've helped her prepare a few presentations. she's dull. -she means nothing to me. it's disgusting how you talk about your acquaintances. i wonder what you tell people about me. you picking a fight? one can't fight with you. -what do i mean to you? but, deniz, we're together! and why? if you don't know the answer to that question.. . what do you want from me? -i've asked you. i don't feel like answering that. if for once you'd say what you really thought! but you probably don't think. just stop it already! -on any given day, how many women do you see on the street that attract you? two or three, maybe. at most. two or three! that's a iot. -that's sixty women a month. pretty good selection. it doesn't mean anything. don't you look around? you also see guys you like. -no, that doesn't interest me. how do you iike her? who? the waitress. yes, she's good looking. -but that doesn't mean anything. good, i'ii talk to her for you. what? i'li talk to her for you. what's this, are you jealous? -i'm not. on the contrary. listen, it's not my fault if you've had a bad day. don't take it out on me. dealing with those film idiots doesn't seem to do you good. -i haven't had a bad day. and the guys i work with are very nice. you're probably very nice to them, too. what do you know. you're right. -i don't even want to know. for one, i don't want to know what you've done to get ahead. you're repulsive. i'm sorry. i didn't mean it like that. -the only thing you know is how to drag things through the mud. and what do you do? nothing! i said i was sorry. i can't stand it here any more. -deniz! wait a minute! where are you going? let's go to the lake. come on. -what if we broke up? why should we break up? because i don't love you anymore. if that's how you see it. is that all you have to say? -what should i say? you're a coward. i don't understand how i couid've fallen in love with someone like you. what's going on here? you really don't understand a thing. -it's just over. do me a favor: leave me alone. you want to sit here by yourself? come on, iet's go back. -please. can i call you? look, it's the actress. hey, i want to sleep with you! who said that? -what's wrong? cat got your tongues? he didn't mean it like that. tell her you didn't mean it! what's the big deal? -you should apologize. it just slipped out. if it happens again, there'ii be trouble. understand? yeah. -show a little more respect. don't just hang around here. we're checking out the scene and making sure everything's ok. how interesting. listen, we'il walk you to your building. -as protection. sometimes there are creepy guys around here. thanks, but i don't need any protection. we insist. whatever. if it makes you happy. -you're an actress, right? we know everything that goes on around here. so what do you play? aii kinds of things. let us know if something you did is going to be on tv. -sure. so, i iive over there. i can walk the rest alone. if you're ever in trouble, just come to us. we'il take care of it. -hi, deniz. this is leyia. just wanted to say i'li be arriving at zoo station at 1 9:28. i'li only have 2 hours before my next train. -look forward to seeing you. bye. hello, mama. hello, sweetheart. come in. -shall i make you some tea? i'li help you in a sec. lass nur, ich mach das schon. deniz, do you want anything to eat? no thanks. -i'm not hungry. you should look after yourself. you look thin. mama. i iook the same as ever. -and i do look after myself. you've got a new hairstyle. i actually wanted it different. not so short. it looks good. -really? yeah, it suits you. how's work? it's going well. glad to hear it. -and how're you doing? i'm fine. it's just so quiet in the flat since you and your sister left. i'm still not used to it. i hope you haven't only come to eat or do your laundry. -you can't seriously think that. no, i don't. i'm talking like an old woman. i must get on your nerves. no, but you shouldn't live alone. -you're an attractive woman. you could meet someone if you wanted. it's hard for me. i know it's dumb, but i compare everyone to your father. i don't know if i couid get used to anyone like that again. -i don't even know if i want to. is there no one in your office that you iike? no. and just because you work with someone is no reason to get involved with them. besides, one should seperate such things. -it just complicates everything. how is jan? i've broken up with him. why? did you have a fight? -it's over. i don't love him anymore. i thought you two got along. that's too bad. he was nice. -yeah, he is nice. i won't give you any advice. you must know what you're doing, but don't wait forever for the love of your life to come along. i don't. but you must have standards. -otherwise there's no point. you're being arrogant. look around you. nowadays people treat each other like disposable objects. it's not good. -before you really know each other, you break up. you get to know people fast when you're together with them. but when things stop moving, it's over. listen to you! you're too impatient. -a partnership has to grow. i wasn't madly in love with your father at first. but with time, we got along better and better. he respected me and i him. that's worth a lot. -but you fought so much. aii night long, sometimes. leyia and i were always being woken up by your arguments. i know for a fact that you often wanted to separate. but we never did. -for the children's sake or out of habit! not out of habit. more out of a sense of responsibility. there's nothing wrong with assuming responsibility for a child or a partnership. 'partnership' - what a horrid word! -it sounds so sensible. it's not easy to get along with someone you've lived with for over 20 years. that's a iong time. you've got to be sensible once in a while. and just because you fight, it doesn't mean you're not happy. -happiness isn't jolly. where exactly in prenzlauer berg? christburger strasse. good. is there a problem? -does the music bother you? should i turn it off? no. your name is... deniz turhan. -ok. it'li be just a moment. please take a seat. hello. hello. goodbye. -we'ii be in touch. deniz. you can come in now. hello. hello. -let's get started. the best thing would be for you to introduce yourself. my name is deniz turhan. i'm 2 1 years old. i iive in berlin and i'm an actress. -you know that this is for a leading role? yes. do you think you're up to it? i wouldn't be here if i didn't. tell us something. -ask me something more specific. show us something about yourself that you've experienced. or tell us about a film that you especially liked recently. it was a few weeks ago. i had worked all day and was very tired when i got home. -i turned on the tv and channei-surfed a bit. then i happened upon a really good film. it tells the story of a girl, about 1 6 or 1 7. it's summer. the girl is at a summer camp by the sea. -you see her at a play rehearsal. soon it's performed, at night, out-of-doors. the lines she speaks are about love. the next day she meets her boyfriend. he's followed her. -her mind is elsewhere. he feels that she is distancing herself from him. he gives her a present and then they part. they both know that it's over. then the holidays are past. -she's back home with her family. her parents, who argue all the time, own a tailor's shop. her older brother works there too, though he really wants to be a writer. she goes out a iot and soon has a new boyfriend. he has to do his military service. -they talk about whether they'ii remain faithful to each other. one evening she comes home late. her father is still up. they have a iong talk. it's the first such talk they've had. -he tells her that he's leaving the family. he has a mistress. then she meets someone. he is still very young, not much older than she is. she thinks he's different from the others. -soon after they get married. a year later her brother throws a party. they've sold the shop. her brother is now a writer, but no one takes him seriously. at the party, she flirts with a friend of her husband's. -they've known each other a long time. her husband ignores her. a few months later she leaves him. she packs her things. her father accompanies her to the airport. -on the bus, they have another long talk, like the time she came home late. her father tells her she's not capable of loving anyone. then they say goodbye. she flies to america with her husband's friend. -that's how the film ends. good. then that's all for today. that was it? yes. -we'il let you know as soon as we decide. how long will that take? not long. we'il be in touch. were you hiding? -this afternoon i thought you were going away. why? you had a bag with you. i just had my laundry in it. do you live in that building you were going into? -yes. then we're almost neighbors. i iive on the koch strasse. where exactly? in one of the houses with the red staircases. -funny i've never seen you there. i haven't lived there long. just a few months. just moved to berlin? no, i was born here. -what do you do? i work as an actress. can you live off of it? it's not easy. at the moment i earn my money dubbing films. -then i've probably heard your voice before. i doubt it, i haven't been doing it long. and what do you do? i'm in radio. -music department. what exactly do you do there? i arrange the music for a few shows. must be pretty easy work if you hang out in the streets all day. i have the day off. -what's your name? deniz. and you? diego. you have a spanish name. -no, portuguese. i grew up there. in lisbon. how long have you been in berlin? almost 20 years. -do you go back to portugal often? at least twice a year. my parents have moved back there. they like the climate better. have you ever been in lisbon? -no. it sounds dumb, but i don't like to travel. why not? i don't feel good in places i don't know. i miss my friends. -besides, i'm terrified of flying. you really never travel? only when i have to. in summer i iike to stay in berlin. in winter i can't stand it. -i can't get used to it. if i'm happy, i don't care what season it is. i think the weather affects people. can you imagine that in northern scandinavia the sun doesn't rise for two months in winter? it never gets lighter than dusk here. -it makes people sick. they have to get light therapy. do you always talk about the weather in your family? are you making fun of me? no, i iike talking to you. -let's walk a bit. ok. shall we go for a drink? how late is it? seven or seven-thirty. -oh, i've got to go to the station! you're going away? no, i'm meeting someone. right away? yes. -could we see each other later? well. .. it won't take long. i couid wait for you somewhere. ok. -do you know the schieusenkrug? it's not far. yes. at ten. leyia, i'm sorry! -have you been waiting long? a few minutes. the train was late anyway. let me take your bag. no, i can carry it myself. -come on, iet me take it. wait, i've got change. let's go out this way. did you have a good trip? yes. -let me take a look at you. you look good. and you look really chic. not really. i mean it. -here we are. what were you doing in munich? our firm is building an office block for an insurance company next year and we were checking out the site. do you really have to travel on tonight? yes. -i've got a lot to do tomorrow. mama'ii be sad to hear you were in town and didn't visit her. i'li call her and explain. how is she? i was over there today. -she's still hasn't gotten over papa. she just changes the past. just about anyone else would have been better for her. you're really hard on him. you always were. -maybe. you never got on with him. but that doesn't apply to everyone. you got on better with him. you were always his darling. -you haven't changed. i give up. i can't deal with these things. what is the matter with you? i'm pregnant. -what? yeah. i don't know what to do. how far along are you? two months. -i've only known for a few days. i haven't told anyone yet. not even your boyfriend? why not? are you afraid of his reaction? -i know that he'ii be happy and i'm also happy with him. but i still don't know what to do. i've got a good job. i'm just getting established. and i enjoy the work. -if you love each other, don't you think you could manage it? i work 1 2 hours a day and some weekends as weli. that's normal in offices like ours. what am i supposed to do? and if you took some time off? -then i'm gone. i didn't study so i couid become a housewife. but you're not the only one. other people have managed it. they go back to work later. -that's easy to say. you forgot your fortune cookie. don't you want to open it? later. "the year of the dragon will bring you luck and success." -well, it's about time. tell me about you. how are you doing? it doesn't matter. no, i want to know. -i broke up with jan. you broke up with him? yeah. he's been getting on my nerves for a iong time. he's totally egocentric but can't stand being alone. -i hate guys who can't make up their minds. i should've known earlier. maybe you'ii learn something from it. i met someone today, just before i met you. that's why i was late. -i met him on the street. that's never happened to me before. it was like we already knew each other. first impressions can be misleading. are you sure you're not making another mistake? -i don't know. just a feeling. you really like him? yeah. are you going to meet again? -we've got a date for later on. you're not wasting any time! don't you think you're moving a bit too quickly? you just broke up with your boyfriend. in reality, we've been apart for a iong time. -besides, how often do you meet someone that interests you? aii the same, maybe you should think things over. what's past is past. you're always after something. why don't you take it easy. -leyia, i think you should keep the baby. you've talked about it so often. you've got a boyfriend you're happy with. you should talk to him. it'ii be born in spring. -would you prefer a boy or a girl? i don't know. a girl, i guess. you don't need to wait till the the train comes. i'li keep you company. -remember your date. i won't go. well, come on, then. i still haven't seen your flat. it's nice. -you'li like it. you should come back and visit when you have more time. hello. hello. i didn't think you were going to come. -what did you do in the meantime? i waited. do you come here often? not really. who did you meet? -you're inquisitive. i am. my sister. she was just passing through. she lives in hamburg. -what does she do? she works in an architect's office. do you have any siblings? an older brother. like me. -my sister is also older than me. do you get along? i iike him but we don't have much to say to one another. he lives in frankfurt. he owns a restaurant. -he wife just left him and took both the kids. since then he's been pretty depressed. but i can't help him. he's still your brother. we don't see each other often. -and then, it's always the same. he acts like the big brother and i , iike the little one. basically, i can only stand him from a distance. i think that's normal. now each goes his own way. -but why am i telling you this? i must be boring you. no, but i couid never talk about my sister like that. and if you love someone, can you only stand them from a distance? that's different. -shall we go this way? what have you done so far as an actress? not much. a few ads and a few small roles in films. i was an extra in a film once. -what's it like for you, acting? depends on the role. it's nice, being able to be someone else. it's like losing yourself. that's the part i iike best. -do you also perform for people in real life? maybe. one is always acting a bit in life. and who are you playing now? i don't know. -i don't have the feeling that i'm acting now. that's a nice ring. where'd you get it? my girlfriend gave it to me. your girlfriend. -yes. where is she now, your girlfriend? she's abroad. she got a grant to study in the u.s. what does she do? -she's a painter. you seem like someone who lives alone. i've been alone for a year. at times i've almost forgotten her. when's she coming back? -tomorrow. tomorrow? you must be looking forward to seeing her. do you love her? yes, i think so. -you think so. yes. you forget her although you love her. a year is a long time. so you sometimes get bored and talk to women on the street. -do you think it was wrong of me to talk to you? no. i didn't have to answer. and you? do you live with anyone? -yes. that is, no. we broke up recently. today. i'm glad we met. -it does me good to talk to you. shall i make you another cup of coffee? no, i've got to go. then i'li walk you home. don't bother. -i'd iike to walk alone a bit. will we see each other again? like until now. by chance. you sure? -yes. what are you doing here? you frightened me. i was worried. i couldn't reach you. -you've still got your clothes on. what were you doing? i was out. got home late. you once asked me if i would move in with you. -we should have given it a try. yeah, but you didn't want to. that was probably a mistake. you're only saying that because it's too late. we could've learned something. -we have. even if it's not very pleasant. we've known each other two years. does that count for nothing all of a sudden? it wasn't all of a sudden. -we dragged things out artificially. we were mistaken. what are you going to do now? you mean without you? excuse me. -could i have a cigarette? help yourself. can i use your lighter? sure. are you a writer? -too little imagination. i teach. am i disturbing you? no, you're not disturbing me. then you're a teacher. -i work at the university. what do you teach? history. i teach the history of daily life, of everyday things: how we eat, sleep, bury our dead, love. -sounds interesting. it is. what do you do? i'm an actress. so you teach about love? -not directly. i teach about the history of love, the behaviors associated with it and what they mean to us. hasn't love always been the same experience, then or now? our romantic ideal of love is an invention of the 1 8th century. but emotions like love, jealousy and so on have always existed. -perhaps, but they didn't have the same meaning, because other things took precedence. people were trying to survive. so the values of protection, security and solidarity were more important. these days we have far greater possibilities to express our feelings and to realize them. things don't work out that way for me. -as soon as i get together with someone, it goes wrong. life is more complicated now as we do have more possibilities. earlier, relations were largely determined through work. today we have both private and professional relationships. you, too. -you have to jump from one to the other and it's tough. does that mean we have to choose between love and work? it means that there are relationships that are primarily structured via work and others that are defined by emotions. it makes life more complicated. it's so hard to talk about emotions. -whenever i try, it sounds sort of false, hackneyed. like i'm just repeating myself. it's no different for me. we're expected to always feel the right thing, to be sincere. we're surrounded by expectations. -so when we want to say something about ourselves, we're not sure if we're only just repeating something we've heard. there are gestures, looks. they have something real about them. that is perhaps the most direct form of expression we have. but we wouldn't live more authentically without language. -it would impoverish our expressive potential. if one views love not as a private emotion but as a means of communication, it might take one further. everyone breaks up and finds a new partner. it's so random. shouidn't one love just one person forever? -it's hard to foster love and make it last. and when it's over, it doesn't mean it never existed or can't exist again. it's a possibility. if a girl likes me straight off, it never works out. with me it's just the opposite. -i wasn't initially attracted to the first boy i went out with. if he hadn't made an effort, nothing would've come of it. but it didn't last. it lasted three years. english subtitles: -alias film sprachtransfer let's hear it for the stars of friends! jennifer aniston! courteney cox! we're on a new adventure, and it's very exciting. -lisa kudrow! we sort of built this family that just kept growing and growing and growing and it sort of culminated and grew into friends. matt leblanc! a teenager came up to me and said, "you've gotta tell me what happens with ross and rachel. " and i said, "i don't even tell my children." matthew perry! -david schwimmer! it's the beginning of a new season for the hit television show friends. in little more than two weeks, the first episode will be filmed in front of a live audience. over the next nine months 23 more will come together in rapid fashion. a tv show is like a freight train. -once it leaves the station it gathers an unstoppable and relentless momentum. first onboard for friends are the writers. in the first episode, maybe the first line you're playing catch-up but, you know, the second one, "i just gotta get it off my chest." "not to me!" you know, i think you're definitely there. this is the... -rachel's hotel room. remember in the cliffhanger last season how they... her and ross got drunk. ...got kind of drunk in here? kind of? -they were blasted. hello. hello. hello. hello. -the cliffhanger was a double cliffhanger. this is it. you sure you wanna do this? monica and chandler plan to get married. just before they walk into the chapel and are able to go through with it ross and rachel drunkenly stumble out of the chapel having just gotten married. -whoa! oh, my god! we, a, don't know what monica and chandler are gonna do and, b, we have no idea what the hell ross and rachel were thinking and what they're gonna do to get out of it, or if they wanna get out of it. adam chase is an executive producer and one of the head writers on friends. he's written two drafts of the premiere episode and how it works is the script gets thrown to the table where the entire writing staff gives input and makes suggestions. -it's not about that. what it's about is he really just does not want another divorce and i really think that confuses things. you can fix it by, in that scene he says, "we'll get an annulment." and he goes, "oh." she says, "blah, blah, blah." and he says, "well, it's still a failed marriage." -she goes, "it's like it never happened." she sells it. and he goes, "okay." he reluctantly gets onboard. then you'll at least understand it, and it's not just odd. this episode, the first episode of the season we've got the wedding chapel, rachel's hotel room the coffee shop at caesars with the buffet line. -we have an airplane. we have monica and rachel's apartment. john shaffner, the art director, runs down the list of sets in the season premiere for supervising producer todd stevens. but it's all guesswork because the script is still a work in progress. like, if you leave really upbeat, "bye, rachel. -bye. bye. see you. i didn't do it. " "what?" "i didn't do it." i think that's less funny. -i think it's funnier, not the way you... it's opposite. it's opposite day. no, i think it's funnier when it's got a kind of... when it's got a few-line buildup. -i'm sorry. no, the acting, i loved. it was vivid. it was like: "wow, where'd shana go?" but... -as friends heads into another season there's a lot riding on just how funny they can make it. it's always one of the top- 10-rated shows on television and nbc still relies upon friends to kick off its crucial thursday-night block of must see tv programming. must see tv thursday in two weeks. it sets off our thursday night, and without it we would have a very difficult time keeping the numbers as high as they are. it becomes an identity. -when people drive by warner bros and they see the friends cast photo on that wall, for the studio it is: "our studio produces friends." and the financial rewards should be obvious. friends averages over 24 million viewers every week. this makes it one of the crown jewels for warner bros. studios. -they produce the show and sell it to nbc. it's simple. i think that's all you need. i think phoebe... after phoebe's joke she can walk out, and they can all walk out after her. -at either end of the writers ' table sit marta kauffman and david crane. they created friends, and together with their partner kevin bright... big first show. big first show. ... they oversee one of television 's most successful production companies. -besides friends, bright, kauffman, crane has two other shows in prime time. bright, kauffman, crane. jesse and veronica's closet. meet your new boss. hello. -hello. there you go. we met in college, and so we've been writing for over 20 years together. we did musicals in new york. we wrote musicals. -in our late 20s we went, "wow, we're not making any money," and so... had a baby at this point. we came up with ideas for shows and tried to sell them, and one of the first ones we sold was dream on. dream on's success on cable opened the door to the networks. nbc put friends on the air in 1994 and bright, kauffman, crane was off and running. -kai blomberg, quent schierenberg and greg bruza make up the set-dressing department for friends. their first order of business is to dress one of the three main sets on friends: monica and rachel's apartment. this means putting back every piece of furniture, decorative art, books and the countless other items that turn a soundstage into a tv home. this is marjorie, our prop master. -but we like to call her a "prop diva." prop divas. first day back. coming into the prop room. let's see what it looks like after last season's close. -yeah, that's pretty much what i remembered. props are what i do. props are anything an actor touches. anything they need to touch and handle is something that props handles. on other kinds of shows, it would be guns. -a clipboard, a briefcase, a cup of... in this case, a cup of coffee. their food, their magazine. anything the actor touches she has to find and make it perfect for that character and for the scene. oh, monica, it's so beautiful! -i know! one episode, monica had a dollhouse given to her by her great aunt. it was a victorian dollhouse, and phoebe wanted to play with it. but phoebe wanted to bring absurd things into it, and monica refused. so check it out. -what's this? that's a dog. every house should have a dog. not one that can pee on the roof. so phoebe decided to make her own dollhouse out of shoeboxes. -look, look! so that was a real fun one. of course, we had to make six. so not only did we make... in, like, three days. -yeah, yeah. it was a short day. we had the licorice room. you can eat all the furniture. does anyone want to join me in the aroma room? -all right. i would. we made six because, of course, they had to burn. fire! there's a fire! -fire! it was like the pièce de résistance of this department at one time. all the pieces of friends' signature set, central perk, have been found and work continues on reassembling the world's most famous make-believe coffeehouse. looks great. good job, matty, tommy, ruben, danny, larry, johnny. -you guys did a nice job. adult model building 101. let's go to lunch! once central perk is back up, greg, kai and quent begin to choreograph the re-dressing of the set. why don't i make it straight through? -i can see it. to re-dress these sets, we have all these continuity photos to help us along the road. we have, like, in this plexi counter we got all this coffee and tea product and you name it that we change every third, fourth episode, you know, to make it realistic because you can't have a stagnant shop where everything stays the same. a new draft of episode one has come down from the writers ' room. some scenes have been written out and replaced with new ones. -this triggers a hasty conference held on a prop, a caesars palace blackjack table. we can leave the wedding chapel as is. can we work on this to light now? it's not gonna move? they can, but it's a gamble. -right here. thank you. watch your eyes. double on. raise it up. -half-double on the bottom? yes, sir. i'm the gaffer. i work with the director of photography to get the look of the show. as you can see in the apartment, we have a week to get everything prepped and ready for the actors and everyone to come in. -the basic goal for the gaffers is to make sure each part of the set is uniformly lit. once the cameras are rolling there's no time to stop and light for each and every shot. josh, you gonna go with a diffuser? i was thinking about bottoming it too. they did joey and chandler's. -if you eliminate joey and chandler's it won't matter because i'm gonna pull out two walls and then reset the back wall and just get it dressed so you can do both. there's so much of the show after this. how many scenes are in here? one elevator walk to the table, so... how many scenes do we have in here? -one giant scene. the difficulty is that when they originally walked out of last season everyone went on vacation thinking, "we'll come back and finish at caesars. not new york. we'll leave a lot of the sets up." so we left everything up. -as they sat around the table and thought about it, they got: "we only have a little story there." - "get us back home." "there just isn't enough material. they're done." after tonight, we basically run out... -the crew runs out of stuff to do. while the writers work the script and the art department tries to stay ahead the boys from set dressing put a few more props in place and unwind with their favorite pastime. yes! got that one. okay, here we go, guys. -welcome back. it's the first production meeting of the season. so here we go. we have kevin directing this week. yeah. -okay. some people needed a little more vacation. as an executive producer of friends the last thing kevin bright needs is more responsibility but he will personally direct at least 10 episodes this coming season. the enjoyment i get out of spending a week on that stage with that cast is really what makes it worthwhile with everything else i've got going on. okay, we're in the wedding chapel. -it's continuous from the last episode. the meeting is the first time all the department heads gather to prepare for episode one. we're on six. with show night only four days away they flip through the latest script discussing everything from wardrobe to props to makeup. we're on 10. "ross and rachel come over to the table. -they no longer have ink on their faces." they no longer have the ink on their faces, except there's... should you see a letter? he says, "you have writing on your head." so should there be an s that's not covered from the "ross"? -the idea is they've washed it so much that it's faded and now the makeup does work so that when he does do the makeup bit, it should cover it up. okay. depends on how i wanna play it. the meeting finished, kevin bright takes a quick tour of the sets to make sure everything is in place for the next day's rehearsal. it should come from around this corner and just basically pull up right here. -it makes it feel... it's a fire thing. this is the first time you've ever worked in five years. how you doing? i've never seen you down here on the stage ever before. -this is great. matthew perry. nice to meet you. how are you? didn't recognize you. -who is this guy? after his summer hiatus, cast member matthew perry gets reacquainted with his executive producer. that's it. that's all i have. stay on me, man. -i'm the actor. let him walk out. page one. let's make that cut, after chandler's "is everybody getting married?" the writers ' room is the usual hub of activity as they continue to tighten the script. -shoot anywhere. rehearsal begins as kevin, cast and crew pick up the story from the previous season 's cliffhanger. so everybody here saw the last episode of last season, right? just to make sure. no. -here we go. and action. hello, mrs. ross. oh, well, hello, mr. rachel. oh, my god. -oh, my god! is everybody getting married? i don't know, but we were next. the first couple of days of rehearsal it's really about the excitement of "here's a new script." it has that atmosphere like kids in the playground together creating their own game. -it's this "what if we do this? where should we start?" we could go back. yes. but... -yes? well, last night we let the dice decide. maybe we should let it up... leave it up to fate again. i love you. -let me say that again. but last night we let the dice decide. we should leave it up to fate again. i love you. the writers watch, scripts in hand, hanging on every line of dialogue. -if a joke isn 't funny, they're looking at a long night of rewriting. there are 12 of us because the way life works is you're not always on. today i might not be at my funniest, for whatever reason. we know that there are, like, 150 people waiting for the new version of this that has to be at the stage at 8:30 in the morning. everybody thinks they can do it. -and i'm sure there are many people who can. i think a, it's not as easy as it looks or we wouldn't be there till 5, 6 and 7 in the morning with 14 incredibly smart people. it's not hard to be funny. it's hard to be funny in a way that will translate to the show and can air on tv. you don't have time to worry about not being funny. -you have to be. everything stays the same. go unpack. your clothes have been there for three days, and it's driving me crazy. and i'm gonna sit down here and try to lower the volume of my voice! -television is a writers ' medium. they get paid very handsomely to be smart and funny. the hours are long, and the schedule, insane. some shows are out early. i mean, it just depends on the nature of the beast. -but if it's a show like friends, where you're here until 4 and 5 and 6 once you're pretty deep into the season and it's gotten harder, yeah, that's tougher. is that writing on your forehead? thanks. so you got married and became a woman all in one night? the compact thing gets in the way now. -especially now. it's so in the middle of something else that's so much more interesting, and we step out... we talked about that last night. we can't just abandon the fact that they have magic marker on their face. a continuity problem has come up. -the first episode picks up with ross and rachel waking up in their las vegas hotel bed with writing on their faces. do you have any clothes on? yes. really? no. -the debate is over whether the writing should be visible when they come down for breakfast. the question is, do they not have writing on their face? they washed it off after they woke up. we've established rules. we've said it's indelible. -i know, but then how did they cover it up and...? because... but even stuff... when you write something on yourself the next day it's less. that's what i was saying, if in this scene it's there, but it's fainter and then the next time we see them, it's a day later, and it's gone by then. -i would have it be very faint in the morning and you don't see it here. this is so amazing. i really thought i would have to talk you into this more. okay, now i'm scared because i don't actually think you're kidding. rehearsal is an important time for script supervisor jolie barnett. -action. we go through all the dialogue and just see what we need to do to change stuff. we were long today. i time the show. they'll go in and trim. -since yesterday, the script grew a lot. we were nine minutes long today. it's midnight, and after a long rewrite session head writers adam chase and greg malins take a few more minutes to proofread yet another pass on the script. tonight's rewrite was less about solving story problems than it was about finding seven pages to cut, which is hard on a script that works. today would be the first day of camera blocking for the 1999-2000 season. -it's the first day cameras are on the set. hey, what's happening, man? sitcoms are shot using multiple cameras on every scene. friends uses four, and sometimes five, to film all the action. i'm gonna come over to you. -camera blocking is the process of, at any given part of the scene where are the cameras and what are they photographing? they're gonna be standing here, holding hands. the elevator opens up, and you wanna see between them the priest standing here. in order to keep camera dollies from crashing into each other the camera assistant places numbered tape marks on the stage floor which tell them where they need to be in every scene. stand-ins are used to mark where the actors will be. -i think it's funnier from here. me too. i like that it happens in one shot. i think they need to let go hands. and you don't have to cut to do this. -they let go? then they see the priest when they look at each other. that's part of the... okay. i got you. -that's it. we'll clean up tomorrow. i think we're in okay shape. show day is finally here. four hours before filming begins, 500 fans line up for 300 seats to watch the premiere episode of friends come together. -we came all the way from kentucky to see this. my favorite character is chandler. i just wanna go see rachel. christine for miriam. please send me eight more ticket holders with the six production right away. -come on. you guys play the most important part. the live studio audience. we're gonna record your laughter. your laughter's gonna be heard all over the world. -a night of filming on this show is not just a filming. it's almost like club friends. it's really hard to describe. there is certainly a pinch of beatlemania in it. the audience raises to their feet. -there is definitely excitement and energy, like a concert. yeah! whoa, you are iconic. this is intense. wow, all right, i'm excited now. -all right. this is a show. it's exciting. people are screaming. if everything goes smoothly, it will take about five hours to film the 22 minutes of actual show time. -the cameras are rolled into position, and the first scene gets under way. scene apple, take one. four cameras. marker. each scene is shot a number of times with a surprising amount of rewriting going on between takes. -"i can't believe they got married." i can't either. i was holding you like this. all right. and action. -i can't believe they got married. i didn't know they were dating again. i don't think they're as much dating as they are drunk. "i don't think they're as much dating as they are unbelievably drunk" or "very, very drunk." something fun and emphatic there. "i don't think they're as much dating as they are completely filled with alcohol." -the first take of the wedding-chapel scene fell a little flat on david crane's ears. as cameras reset, they quickly try and come up with something funnier. finally, they go to matthew perry. you know what? why don't we ask him? -because it's so, like, matthew. "i don't think they're as much dating as they are acting out a scene from barfly." "as they are completely filled with alcohol." "as much dating as they are two bottles of vodka walking around in human form." yes. -seven minutes later, they're ready for take two. action. i can't believe they got married. i know. i didn't even know they were dating again. -i don't think they're as much dating as they are two bottles of vodka walking around in human form. the changing as we go is a really good testament to just how smart the executive producers are. i've done shows in the past that had a tyrannical: "don't touch the words." and it's not the way to do a show. if a joke doesn't work, this group of smart people huddles and then they come out and tell you a joke. -the audience tells you what's working. things that crack us up, they sometimes don't get. sometimes they get the setup, and you don't need the joke. i'm gonna jump in as they roll the dice, then i go back into the two? after they roll the dice, take a beat and then go back into the two. -the key in half-hour comedy, while there are things a director wants to bring to it it is a very short window of time to get everything done. and so, yes, speed is a necessity. speed and a very good pair of shoes. action. let's get married, i guess. -on your "let's just get married, i guess," can it be even more forced enthusiasm? it's not funny to play that bummed? which? "let's just get married, i guess." - "married, i guess." it didn't feel funny. -okay. i think... let's get married, i guess. i can't believe i actually rolled an eight. that was so unlikely. -well, let's get married, i guess. moving on, guys. we're in the cab. the call to move on is the battle cry to prepare for the next scene. as cameras travel across the stage, the writers continue to pitch new jokes. -i like it. all right. anything else on 10? one little pitch on nine. yes? -"it's a buffet." "it's in trouble." it's kind of funny. i don't get it. "it's in trouble." in trouble, like i'm gonna go eat it all. -how about "here's where i win all my money back"? i like that. great. after "it's a buffet," joey says, "here's where i win all my money back." kevin, there's spot changes coming. -good shit. you guys ready? good shit. where is the waitress? i'm starving. -it's a buffet, man. here's where i win all my money back. okay, now we're gonna reset. the completion of this scene triggers a frenetic bout of activity. the set dressers and grips tear out the caesars palace buffet to make room for the next scene. -oh, you gotta get more excited. a set change can take as long as 20 minutes but with warm-up comedian jim bentley to entertain them the audience has no time to be bored. no question about it. there is nothing like a friends audience. they are just complete maniacs when it comes to friends. -a sitcom is as close to live theater as television gets. the actors play to the audience, and their feedback is crucial. we play off the audience all the time. very important. it's like a test to see if the material works if the jokes work, if the story tracks, if the audience is with... -if we've given them enough exposition along with jokes. we've done 120 of these things but our energy just elevates every time there's an audience. i still get nervous before shows, and i think it's just generally... you know, it's like putting on a one-act play every week. marker. -this is insane. what's the big deal? it's not like it's a real marriage. what? if you marry in vegas, you're only married in vegas. -if you marry in vegas, you're married everywhere. really? yeah. oh, my god! oh, well. -cut. is it clear to them that she's talking about herself and not ross and rachel? the "oh, my god" has to be bigger. okay. also... -they laughed because they got it. they laughed so hard on "oh, my god." but they didn't laugh at "oh, well." what if after "oh, my god," laugh, laugh, "i have to make some calls." we're just not very bright, and smart people will get it. -marta and david run a very democratic show. there's a question as to whether the implications of a joke are understood. so, what do they do? they put it to a vote. if you wanna be sure, you ask them. -we can ask them. all right. ask the audience. who did not get it? who did not get the fact that phoebe was married in vegas? -from that joke. she says, "oh, my god." that at some time in the past she was married in las vegas. yes. they all got it? -they got it. great. i'm not lying. marker. ross, the bottom line here, we cannot stay married. -see, i don't know if that's true... but it is. okay, what we have here is a difference of opinion. and when that happens in a marriage... stop saying the word "marriage"! -now, ross, listen. if you do not get this annulment, i will. writer people. is there anything funnier than "stop saying the word 'marriage'"? "we're in a drunken mistake"? -that's funnier. we're discussing "stop saying the word 'marriage,' " which actually isn't funny. "this crazy, drunken mistake." "this is the world's worst hangover." "this is the world's worst hangover." -yeah. that's great. and rolling. when that happens in a marriage... ross, come on! -this is not a marriage! this is the world's worst hangover! it's like mozart. it just comes to you. i'm not responsible to get... -but actually, somebody else... it's just like mozart. somebody else had the area, so usually... it was someone else's area, actually. it's just molding it. -someone, i don't remember who, had pitched something in the area of... of drunkenness. ...drunkenness. it's just molding it. then out of that somebody comes up with the right way to spin it. -but, yeah... when you finally... and you put it in and they love it and the audience goes crazy, you get applause on a joke... that's not a bad feeling. very good feeling. -cut. cut! that's a wrap. after 52 takes of 14 scenes and seven rewrites the more than five miles of exposed film is rushed to the lab where it will be developed overnight. the 122nd episode of friends is officially in the can. -let's go, guys. you got 23 more episodes to shoot. what are you waiting for? the next key step in the making of friends takes place in steve prime's editing room. this is a difference of opinion. -we run about 30,000 feet of film for all four cameras which is about 12 hours of footage for one half-hour show. we then sync it up so that all four cameras will be played back on my machine simultaneously and starting on monday morning, i start cutting the show together. the hard part of editing is where you have problems and those are the ones where you do the most work. when that happens in a marriage... ross, come on! -there's, of course, many different ways i could bring her up. i could easily change it to this shot which i shied away from because she exited frame. the impactful way is to be close. tv is a close-up medium so i could go right from there, and then punch in for a close-up. so this another option i could do. -ross, come on! this is not a marriage! this is the world's worst hangover! very fine way of cutting it. i opted to just play it all in close-up. -ross, come on! this is not a marriage! this is the world's worst hangover! sometimes the audience responds too big. if i went with the actual laugh... -if you do not get this annulment, i will. so that laugh is still going through her next line into his next reaction and that's... it's five, six seconds, and in tv land, that's an eternity. sometimes we have to put in a laughter that is shorter. sometimes we do it to get it over with quicker. -after three days of editing, kevin bright and marta kauffman screen the first rough cut. you fill some form out once in a while... ... instead of checking... i don't love that joke. i feel like it's cheap. -fine. this doesn 't mean anything, does it? no. is it funnier to go to that wider shot sooner? i thought it was funnier as a reveal, but we'll try it. -do we have one where she screams when she sees joey and stays freaked? look. see, she seems to calm down after she screams. she... and then she calms. -or get out of it faster or something? kevin now joins steve to work on the changes. when he's not on the stage directing an episode kevin can always be found in the edit room where he sees every show through this painstaking phase of postproduction. okay. let's try this. -cutting off of this shot in the same place that you did let's try him again... okay. ...and then try coming back to this screen and then end over here with them turning around. here is how the scene was finally edited. morning. -after making the changes the big challenge is getting the show down to exact length, 22 minutes. ross invited us to watch. this show was three minutes and 40 seconds over. that's a lot. absolutely. -okay. deep cut. steve and i, in surgeon-like manner, cut out of the show but it gets to a point that you're left with the stuff that you really love so how do you keep it all in? it's taking us a while. after editing, the show gets passed on to a number of technical experts where every frame of film and every second of audio is carefully examined and polished. -here, the husband and wife team of mike and casey crabtree add sound effects in a process known as foley. we're foley artists, and foley was originated in the 1920s by a man named jack foley. awesome guy. these are my shoes. everybody has their favorite shoe collection. -these are heels that make a very, very, very sharp sound and i use them for hooker heels. and i even have spice girl shoes. they're hard to walk in. i'm going to do a scene on friends now with phoebe. she's running. -she's going to go from a cement surface to a carpet surface. you mirror what's on that screen. you get into character. you are that person. okay. -pretty good sync. i felt comfortable with that. come on, pheebs, hurry! okay! okay! -the essential tools of the foley artist? props. every conceivable object to make sounds. okay, tom. take two. -if we don't like it, we'll do it again and again and again until we like it. it's our final call. okay, tom. we're gonna do it one more time. you have to have real good sync. -worked for me. let's listen to the sound. foley is really messy. yes, it is. merelyn. -hi, honey. merelyn. music editor merelyn davis has come to meet with associate producer jamie o 'connor and co-producer wendy knoller. i do music editorial for television shows. specific niche, sitcoms. -they screen the show and determine where music is necessary. normal transition is fine. we don't have to do anything. just trail over her? yeah, trail over... -each show is not scored. a bulk of music is given to the editors by the composer every year about four or five new batches a year and those are then, in the parlance of the industry, tracked. the main title, and i think we're done. we're done. not too bad. -not too much stuff. fabulous. thank you. the next day, in a storefront studio a few miles from the warner bros. lot merelyn goes over several versions of composer michael skloff's music for the opening of scene one. boy, that's a great cue. -can you shorten it... yeah. ...a little to get the piano...? i'd like the piano... move the piano up? -...to happen while she's still asleep. i can take out half that second phrase. whatever. here, we make sure that the music fits both the mood, the situation and fits physically which is really what music editing is. i mean, editing is cutting to make fit. -it is really amazing how long it takes us to do a show with 20 cues, three seconds each. oh, that's great. that's already cut down. all right. well, that does that. -yes. in sitcoms, i mean, it's like boom, boom, boom every week. and everybody is doing their job, and it all comes together at the mix. at the mix, all the different sound elements dialogue, laughs, effects, foley and music are combined by engineers charlie mcdaniel and kathy oldham. their job is to set the proper levels for each track and filter out unwanted noise and hiss. -okay, there's one i missed. a frequency that comes in on this edit, so it could have been a different shot. put some filters in here, try and knock some of this stuff out. kathy and i usually play "guess that frequency," and she's usually right. which elevator ding do you wanna use? -we have two here. supposed to get married, there would be a clear-cut sign. that one. okay. get married, there would be a clear-cut sign. -i actually think two is better. i think one sounds like a hospital. if we were supposed to get married, there would be a clear-cut sign. we have four hours, or five hours, to complete a half-hour sitcom. so we're kind of known as the triage of mixing in the half-hour sitcoms. -i don't get to do my 45-second dance. we're doing 35 now, from now on. i'm really bummed. it's hilarious. it's fast-paced. -we love the characters. there's always, like, three different little dialogues going on at the same time. and so it keeps you interested. it's got a great wit. when you have so many shows on tv now that are just full of junk and are just stupid and come along and go friends has stayed over the past five years, and it's been great. -it reminds us of the way we act. i think you had it. i think you had... cut. cut! -jennifer aniston! courteney cox! lisa kudrow! i laugh every day. my life is gonna be longer because of friends. -matt leblanc! matthew perry! david schwimmer! i feel insanely lucky. it's a staff that loves all these characters. -when i was home sick from school, i watched the odd couple. when my kids or grandkids are home sick from school they're gonna watch friends. that is the coolest thing in the world to me. it is one of the most fun jobs, i think, you can get paid for. it's a rare situation where you go to work on a daily basis and actually look forward to seeing every person that works on the show. -to get something that is so creatively satisfying and such a wonderful relationship with the actors... good show, matt. all of it came together, and the stars were all aligned. and everything worked out. i don't think it gets better than this experience has been. -we're in hollywood on the actual set of the hit show friends. and it's the final season and all of the stars we have come to learn and love are giving their first farewell interview. i wanna ask, who do you, jennifer, who do you most want rachel to end up with? ah... i'll start crying... -come on... well, i mean god... that's a tough... well, i think if you go back to the beginning, you know, i think everybody's had a special place for ross and rachel... hm-mmm, hm-mmm... -everybody... are you getting a little misty over this? just when we think about the episode where they first kiss, and all the... there's so much history between... between the two... so much history... do you have your favourite friends moment? -i'm sure we all have moments that we love. but in the gag reel there was one thing where le blanc kept running in and tripping and we had to do take after take after take and we finally got it right and matt perry came in and tripped. i mean, those are moments that not necessarily the... make it to the show... so your favourite moment is when i fall down? okay, let's go to your favourite friends moments. -we all have ours. i think the birth of emma. how was that for you? oh, i loved that moment. that whole season, i think i loved. -uhm, as the first kiss with ross and rachel i loved. first kiss with ross and rachel? i like the way you refer to them as "ross and rachel". yeah, they're other people. okay courteney, favourite moment. -favourite friends moment. uhm, well i mean, the favourite one for me to play or be a part of was when i asked chandler to marry me. chandler... in all my life... i never thought i would be so lucky. -as to... fall in love with my best... my best... there's a reason why girls don't do this! matthew? i agree with courteney. that scene where we decided to get married is... up there for me. -up there for you? yeah. lisa? for me personally my favourite was uhm, the scene with crissie hynde i lo-oved that scene. -that was fun. me next? yes. i don't know if my favourite friends moment is on camera. i would have to say maybe the huddle backstage. -i think its, you know what i mean, it's stuff between the scenes for me that's really, really great. you know, these are five awesome people. and what do you think you're gonna miss, 'cause you're gonna go on. joey's gonna go on. joey's gonna have his own series, right? -hopefully yeah. so, will you think... will it be as bittersweet for you, or will you already thinking about moving on, and how to create the next thing? it feels very strange to really think about that in a, kind of a gung-ho way without closure here, you know. so i really want to enjoy the closing of this, before i really go on. without having closure here, it doesn't feel right. -it would feel like kind of betraying... it's like i feel afraid, you know, it's like... you guys are coming right? i had a funny pitch for the title, i wanted to call it "where the hell is everybody?" i like that title. it didn't fly... -they didn't go for that one, did they? so, none of the characters that we've come to know through friends are gonna like even pass through joey or know joey? i would love it, yeah sure. maybe you can help me talk them into it. come by every now and then...? -okay jen, can you tell us about each of your cast mates? oh... hi matty... hi honey. well, what people may not know about matthew perry, is that he's probably one of the most sensitive people. -you know, as long as well as being funny... and ingenious, he's also uhm... he's ingenious too? and ingenious, yeah. he's very smart. he played tennis. -i think you speak french. un peu. oh, un peu. uhm, and he's a... he's a really strong... you know... supportive dear friend. and uhm, courteney, i just love you so much you just been there for me in a lot of ways, and she really is the most dependable and loyal and funny as all get out, -i mean, she just cracks me up, constantly. schimmy schwimster is uhm... we have a lot of history. uhm, he's uhm... he's alright. no again, really smart and helps me figure out things that i don't understand. -but he's really... i can be really honest with david and speak my mind and i really appreciate you and... oh god, get somebody else. no, you're almost done. you're almost done. -you're okay. yeah? you're okay. seriously? yeah. -okay, no really. okay, want to take a minute? okay. what do you think of all of us oprah? i like you so much, it's gonna be bittersweet. -i don't know. i don't know, what is nbc gonna do? okay, what are they gonna do with that timeslot. it's gonna feel a little empty. j-j-j-j-joey j-j-j-j-joey! -same timespot? same timeslot. okay. depending how it goes today... okay, i appreciate that you feel this deeply about each other. -i really do. i know. i know. i'm waiting... oh no, i don't know if i can do it yet. -let's go on to someone else. take a break. deep breaths. isn't this endearing? it's corny. -no, really i do, i'm very moved by it. alright, can you finish now? yes, i can. uhm... dearest lisa kudrow, who is also one of the most talented actresses and i've learned so much from you as a comedian, unbelievable, but a dramatic actress that knocks your socks off. -and just basically being one of the most loving and with these girls what we've got, what we've gained from each other and taught each other and watched each other get married and just lived through so much and so unconditional, you know. and i... i thinks she's an amazing. i love you. and matt le blanc is just, you know, the best big brother. -young big brother, you are older than me. just a little bit. you know, i feel so protected by matty and he's ... talk about somebody who can read me a mile... i know i seem obvious, but uhm... she's actually very happy right now. -you're not crying like a ... i see him staring at me giving me this look, and then he just walks over to me and he says "come here, sit down, talk to me, what's going on?" and he just gets you to lose it... if there's something to lose... or figures something out, and he's just amazing, and one of the most loving, dearest, loving, funny and inspiring. i love him. -looking back at you. i can tell you... can you tell right now, this is gonna be a rough week. the last week is gonna be very tough here. later... -i wanna show you how romantic our bedroom is... the cast of friends take me on a behind-the-scenes tour... what do you think you guys are gonna take from the set? and next... the true story about their multi-million dollar salary negotiations. -stay tuned. i have sold a 100 million copies of my books, and you know why? the girl on the cover with her nipples showing? do you believe there's one perfect person for everyone? i'm starting to. -yeah? you brought protection, right? are there like bears or something? so now what have we agreed? you and daddy were not on a break. -very good. i'll tell you what. call me when you grow up. don't expect that to happen any time soon! anything you want from lisbon? -just knowing you're there is enough. when we got married, i saw the groom in the wedding dress. that was after the wedding. it's not bad luck then. honey, it isn't good luck. -chandler. mom. thanks for wearing... something. nora bing is really, really fun. when they first called, the show was still new. -i heard about the divorce. lesbian, huh? well, you know what they say: be careful what you wish for. i liked the kids. -i thought that they worked very well together. they were very talented individually and also very talented as an ensemble. just because we're getting a divorce doesn't mean we don't love you. it just means he would rather sleep with the houseboy than with me. she'd come out of this marriage and been forced to find her own niche. -now it's this bigger-than-life, jackie collins, having-a-great-time character out of one of her own books. nora bing. which is something that her son is not thrilled with. occasionally, after i've been intimate with a man... why would she say that's embarrassing? -...i just get this craving for kung pao chicken. that's too much information. i love working in front of a live audience for comedy because they laugh. they give you that feedback. you're gonna be fine, believe me. -i think i was the first parent to kiss a friend. i have been playing sort of aggressive vixens for most of my career so that's not so different. seeing me molesting young guys, you know, is also not quite so different. you kissed my best ross. or something to that effect. -my son catches me kissing ross, but little did he know that in the original script we were doing a lot more. i'm sorry, honey. i promise it will never happen again. really, really stupid. really, really stupid. -she wanted chandler to see her as a person and pleading with your child for acceptance of who you are and, "i promise i'll stay away from your friends." so you two were married, huh? i was thrilled that kathleen was gonna play charles because we've known each other around peripheries of the business but not ever worked together. you look beautiful, mom. you look beautiful too, dad. -kathleen and i both, frequently, are cast for exactly the same purpose. it's the sort of deep-voiced, sex-symbol, gravelly seductress. now you got two of them. it's so great to see you both here. yes. -although we may be seeing too much of some people. aren't you too old to wear a dress like that? don't you have too much penis to wear a dress like that? the first time i got to say the penis line, that was really fun because everybody freaked, you know. that was really fun. -you love to freak people. oh, my god. matthew is just so talented at those quick double takes and the kind of physical comedy that he does. they're all very talented in their own unique, quirky ways and they've found quirks that work for their character. but i always love working matthew, because he gives you those double takes. -just think, soon there will be lots of little bings. to get to work and do comedic parts with this talented a group of people is always a lot of fun. want to go get a drink? i can't. oh, you have some studying to do? -no, i have some turning 21 to do. dr. geller! burt. elizabeth is a student. and we're dating. -and you may frown upon that, but we're not gonna hide it anymore. you are so fired. elizabeth is in college and i think she embodies like, a lot of college-age girls, kind of a carefree spirit. this play tonight, it's excellent. the director is... -who drank all the kamikazes? nobody. we put them in here! she doesn't take things too seriously, and she likes to have fun. everybody put their balloons down! -david was a lot more serious than i thought he was going to be. he's a really hard worker. ross? elizabeth! that was actually a really nice surprise. -he really wanted to make sure that we rehearsed all the scenes and wants to make sure that everything is just right. and i really appreciated that. i really like you too. but we can't date. it's against the rules. -it's forbidden. in the scene when he's telling me that we can't date because it's against the rules and i start kind of getting turned on by what he was saying it was so hard to keep a straight face, because he was so funny. wow. what? just hearing you describe it as "forbidden" it's really hot. -really? i'm so embarrassed about that scene. i can't watch it. it makes me blush, with all my breathing and stuff. it's taboo. -shut the book. hey. let's also get a hot plate. that was a particularly hard scene too especially because it's embarrassing to get all, like, hot and heavy like that. elizabeth's dad wants to meet me. -wait a minute, hold the phone. you're not elizabeth's dad? my favorite memory of david from working on friends was the day that he came and knocked on my dressing room door. i was sitting there, and i opened the door and he was all excited. and i was like, "what?" and he's like, "did you hear? -did you hear who is playing your dad?" and i said, "no." he's like, "bruce willis! can you believe it? he's gonna be here." dad, this is ross geller. -it's great to meet you, paul. i prefer that liz's boyfriends address me as mr. stevens. of course, mr. stevens. so, ross what's your problem? he was like a little kid who just found out, like, some amazing thing. -it was absolutely endearing. and it was just so sweet, and it just made me, like, fall in love with david schwimmer for being so excited over something like that. so, what's your name? tag jones. uh-huh, go on. -that's it. that's my whole name. that's your whole name? of course. rachel green's office. -tag? hi, who was that? nobody, i was just practicing. you wrote that you have a cute tushy? yes. -i have a weird sense of humor. and i'm kind of strangely proud of my butt. tag jones. he was a naive 24. he was so wide-eyed, and every little thing was cool. -i mean, the fact that he wound up getting a job, you know, i mean was the biggest thing. you got the job. you're my new assistant. i am? yeah! -i can't believe it. me either. i think rachel took it easy on tag. i don't think tag was hired for his résumé, per se. what? -it's just... it took me so long to get that desk organized. i'm sorry. there it is. when i was cast, i knew that tag was to be rachel's assistant and it was possible that they would become an item. -i love having a girlfriend. really? someone i can spoil, you know? spoil? he's dating his boss, you know. -and i think tag probably was like, "hey, that's cool, man." because he probably didn't know what was going on. all right, he likes you back. told you you should go for it. what? -the first episode i did, i was staying out here with a friend of my cousin's because i was living in new york. and it was probably wednesday night or thursday night before taping and david schwimmer directed the first episode i did. and i was sitting in the apartment that i was staying in. i don't know what i was doing, but my phone rang and i picked it up and i hear, "hey, dude, it's schwim. i know you're new in town and you don't know much. -can i take you out to see what's going on?" so he... i mean that was highly unexpected and very cool. joey must have really taught you some stuff. a little. -how you doing? i remember being in my dressing room and giving myself a pre-episode pep talk. you know, "you can do this, you can do this." psyching myself up, getting ready. breathe. -they say, "they're getting ready to start. " i walk out with all the confidence i can muster at that time, just trying not to trip. walk down, and right there is sean penn, robin wright penn, and their children. i walked right back up. it was like, "okay, he's not supposed to be here." then i remember making my first entrance, knocking and it was like time slowed down. -the models are actually down the hall. jennifer's mouth was moving. all i could think was: "the second that mouth stops, i have to say something." it's for human resources. -everybody has to do it. would you stand up? any response i got from a fan... they seemed excited. they seemed excited by the relationship, by her new relationship, you know. -and i felt fortunate that i was that guy. i mean, i can't lie to you. you know what i mean? it was good to be that guy. please don't fire me for doing this. -that's one less thing we have to do on monday. on my tombstone will be, "that guy from friends. " you know what i mean? literally. you know. i'll be 92 in my walker. -"you're that guy from friends!" santa! yeah, you like that one? yeah, you're funny. i'm funny? -oh, thank god. our sex life... it's just not... dad! hey there, little fella! -why don't we get some shoes on you? hey, why don't you show dad how you can put your shoes on in your room? my name is cole sprouse and i play ben, david's son, or ross' son. wow, thanks! you're welcome, ben! -merry christmas! and happy hanukkah! are you for hanukkah too? because i'm part jewish. you are? -me too. ben's character wasn't exactly like me, but kind of because he was kind of a prankster at times, and i'm always a prankster. remember all that stuff i taught you yesterday? "remember all that stuff i taught you yesterday?" don't do that. -"don't do that." your dad doesn't like pranks. "your dad doesn't like pranks." oh, damn it. "oh, damn it!" -no! don't say that. my favorite cast member to do scenes with is jennifer, because she's hot! hi, i'm kathy. kathy, with a k or a c? -with a k. can i borrow your apartment keys? why? you can pee here. i love this tushy. -can i take it to work with me? yeah, sure. it's not mine anyway. it came with the pants. i got an audition and she says, "oh, you're reading with matthew perry." -and i think, "oh yeah, sure, whatever, all right. i don't care. i'm cool." i go in, and kevin bright and marta kauffman and matthew are there. and i said, out loud... -i walked in and i went: "hey, all right, so clearly i'm your runty alternate, so let's get this over with." is it on? no, but this wonder broom is amazing! oh, my god! -later on, matthew said, "the moment you called yourself a runt kevin and i were like, 'she's the one.'" thank you! thank you! thank you! yes, thank you! -after i got the part, for the first two weeks of doing friends i would hide in my room, because i kept thinking: "they're gonna figure me out and fire me. they're gonna get one of those hot girls." that's what i like about joey. any other guy would've been, " the english patient is my favorite movie too." -but joey goes, "no way, let's get die hard. i'm not watching that english crap." yeah, he's dreamy. i started going out with joey. check it out! -you can see that girl's underwear. is she great, or what? and then chandler and i fell for each other. let me get this hair off your neck. i would sneak out of joey's room to watch baywatch. -god! is that baywatch? yes, but i just watch it for the articles. and, you know, chandler loved baywatch, and we'd sit in the canoe. and i wore this hockey jersey that matthew perry picked out and was very specific about, like: -"this is the sexy hockey jersey, so she has to wear that." here we go, little fella. what about the duck? the duck can swim. i kind of cheated on joey. -it was just... i was an immoral... i was a hussy! she's the star of the play, and she is my girlfriend. i get to have sex with the star of the play. -people can hear you. i know! and then i turned into slutty kathy. is that an expensive blouse? if you want it to be. -here's your girlfriend's button. because i cheated on chandler, kind of we were on a break, i don't know, with nick a guy i was doing a play with. i loved the play. you were great. and nick, ditto. -clearly you're having sex with him. shooting that show that week, during rehearsals finding out my character cheated on him was a bummer. i don't want to cheat on him. i wanted to stay. but the girls fought for me. -she wasn't sleeping with him. good! she is now. courtney and lisa and jennifer talked to the producers, saying: "you can't do this. -don't make her cheat. she can go on the road with the play, but kathy can't cheat on chandler." so these girls, these incredible actresses are fighting to keep me around, and i thought i was gonna cry. i think this could have been something really amazing. but, you know, this is probably for the best. -you know? i'm gonna miss you. goodbye, chandler. i was just so lucky, so incredibly lucky to have been given that part and been able to work with those guys because i learned, probably, more about sitcom acting and how to be a good person from those guys than i have in years since combined. everybody on that set seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. -everybody seemed to treat... i can say more than "seemed." everybody treated each other with respect. and so it just created an atmosphere of, "holy cow, we love what we're doing." it's just a really easy show to shine on, i think. -they make it really easy for actors to do that. and so i really appreciate that. it was a really wonderful experience. the stars are very talented individually, but they're also very talented together. that's what makes comedy work. -comedy is about a team. i'd like to thank friends for letting me do this. it's been cool. in japan, the opening phrase to friends is this: friends is about to start! -hi, i'm james michael tyler. you might know me as "that guy." you know, the central perk guy in love with rachel. okay, it's gunther from the tv show, friends. i'm here to show you something that you've probably never seen before. -in fact, i know that i haven't seen it before and no one that i know has ever seen this before. anyway, take a look. this is how the world watches friends. althea! althea? -what are you doing? i'm just guessing. you're guessing? althea is the correct answer. nice guess. -friends episodes are translated into many different languages. today, we will travel to sweden, germany and japan. "people watch friends in other countries?" you ask? of course they do. friends is all over the world. -we found this group of fans in sweden that watch friends just like we do. you know what the only difference is? do you? they watch it subtitled. i love friends. -i'm a really devoted fan. it doesn't matter what episode you put on, it's always fun. i use friends as therapy. me and my wife used to lie down and have friends marathons. of the actors, i really like ross. -i love friends. sushi, sake, karaoke? right, japan. friends even reaches japan. they say that english to japanese is one of the most difficult translations. -let's watch and see. good morning. good morning. good morning. good morning. -hi. i'm yu mizushima for chandler bing. i'm shigeru ushiyama for ross. i'm atsuko tanaka for phoebe buffay. i'm rika fukami for monica geller. -i'm shinobu adachi for rachel green. i'm hiroaki hirata for joey tribbiani. to prepare for each performance the actors take home, study and scrutinize the english version of the episode along with the translated japanese script. then, once back in the studio they rehearse only once with the help of a director then begin with the first take. do you realize that any minute now phoebe could be pregnant? -yes, it really makes me think what life is all about. the questions are ready. basically, we change things in the script itself and when there is a laugh, especially when the laugh is big we make sure it makes sense for the japanese audience. what is chandler terribly afraid of? mr. v's walk! -that's correct. i love coming to work. it's a lot of fun. next we take the autobahn to germany. this is one of my favorite spots in europe. -i wonder if gunther would stand a chance with rachel in germany. hello. we're here at kirsten's apartment in the lovely city of hamburg, germany. and around me are a lot of dedicated fans of the tv series, friends. how you doing? -and, believe me, it works also in german. i'm joey, not tribbiani, but i'm joey, i'm also from hamburg. yeah, we don't have a chandler, and we don't have a monica. maybe somebody has three nipples. i haven't watched... -being from berlin, i have to say that the berlin sense of humor is really similar to the new york sense of humor. straight, fast and spontaneous. every week the tv guide comes to chandler and joey's apartment. whose name is the subscription under? what is the name on it? -that's chandler's. it says chandler bing. my name is gerhard chalev. i'm dubbing mr. david schwimmer, ross. althea is correct. -thanks, joey. my name is michael ivanik, and i'm dubbing chandler bing. it's a pleasure for me. actually, it's miss chanandler bong. my name is nadia, nadia reichard, and i'm rachel. -three hundred dollars is a little too exciting. stop spending my money. my name is maya tueldu, and i synchronize lisa kudrow as phoebe. they want you so much. so when you guys get in there, really grab on. -phoebe is just unique and you have to be very emotional to bring that across in german. that's normal, okay? and this is indeed a big challenge. tails! it's heads. -gerhard, one more time with a little more superiority. we don't get the books before. we get everything in the studio and then we have to be ready, prepared for what we have to do. i forgot one little thing. yeah, that's right. -this is our great concern, to be as close to the original. we are like an ensemble of actors and we are really friends. now you know, friends, it's universal. it speaks different languages. tails! -it's heads. and that is the international phenomenon. on behalf of james michael tyler, a.k.a. gunther a.k.a. that guy who was in love with rachel, the central perk dude thank you very much. hi, i'm jennifer aniston. actually, it's miss chanandler bong. -whose name is the subscription under? what is the name on it? that's chandler's. it says chandler bing. althea! -how do you know? i'm just guessing. you're guessing? althea is the correct answer. nice guess. -smelly cat, smelly cat it's not your fault and you have to say, "smelly." smelly! oh, my god. you have to meet me in the middle. -my foot will meet the middle of your ass. you slept with another woman? oh, you're one to talk. you know... ... ithinkit mightbetime foryou to start using night cream. -a woman in my office is a lesbian. i'm just saying! i won't say what they spent on that wedding... ... but$ 40,000isalot ofmoney. could we please just settle it after the wedding? -fine, but i'm not paying for your wine cellar... ... youthieving,would-be-speaking- german-if-it-weren't-for-us man. people just know me now from being mr. geller on friends. mr. and mrs. geller, you look wonderful. it is great to have you here. -let us take off your coats. snowing out there? no. jack geller is the father of monica and ross. and i can't even- -other than the actress, christina pickles, i can't think-- what's the mother's name? what's my wife's name on it? judy. judy, right. -the character of jack geller doesn't even remember his wife's name. remember the lugwins? the big one had a thing for you. they all had a thing for him! oh, mom! -i think that jack and judy... ... aresomewhatprejudiced about their children... ... whethertheyadmititornot. don't listen to her! you've always been independent. -even when you were a kid, and you were chubby... ... andyouhadnofriends, you were just fine. i recall the first show that established the relationship... ... betweentheparentsand the daughter and the parents and the son... ... wherewedotedonross and seemed to dismiss monica. -i read about women trying to have it all, and i thank god... ... ourlittleharmonica doesn't have that problem. i had a dream about mr. geller last night. really? one of my favorite episodes was when... -... lisakudrow'scharacter has a crush on jack geller. and i thought that was so funny. okay, look at him. look at those strong hands. oh, what i wouldn't give to be that can of condensed milk. -christina pickles is a consummate character actress... ... anda veryseriousartist, and quite intense. jack! could you come in here for a moment? now! -what's that curry taste? curry. do you know what it's like to grow up... ... withsomeonewhoiscritical of every single thing you say? i can imagine. -i tell you, it's a wonder your mother turned out... ... tobethepositive, life-affirming person she is. that is a wonder. i'm a good mother, but i'm also on the verge of being dysfunctional. and i sometimes would want to obsess about the wrong things. -about how my daughter was dressed, rather than how she felt. you know, " don't wear that, darling. no, no, i like it, but don't wear it. " that kind of stuff, which you don't really allow yourself to say. you think it. -but the fun for me is that i can say all that stuff... ... asjudygellerand get awaywith it. what's with your hair? what? what's different? -nothing. oh, maybe that's it. i did like that wonderful episode when monica was stuck in the bathroom... ... whilewehadaquickie, because it was jack's birthday. so, jack... -... everthinkabouttradingmein for a younger model? of course not. with you, it's like i've got two 25-year-olds. oh, jack, stop! come on! -it's my birthday! and i would imagine that judy... ... justpretendedthatnothinghad happened as she walked back out... ... becauseshe'sverygoodatdenial. i realize you guys have been wondering... -... whatexactlyhappened between carol and me. so here's the deal. when it was explained to me that ross' ex-wife was a lesbian... ... ididn'tturntoross andsay, "you married a lesbian?" i turned to monica and said: -and you knew about this? which i thought was so brilliant... ... becauseitturneditback onto her doing the wrong thing again. ross can do no wrong. janice? -janice? here. it's the receipt. this is like a reunion in the hall! i play janice on friends. -and i have been on since the first season... ... aschandler'son-again,off-again, fabulously annoying girlfriend. hey, janice. my god, i am so glad you called me. i had the most supremely awful day. -when i first went to audition for the role, i looked at the material... ... andwhenshesaid, "l got you these socks... ... mooseandsquirrel,squirrel and moose, whichever you want" ... ... i'mnotquitesureexactlywhat the line was, i just heard her say: you could wear bullwinkle and bullwinkle... -... orwearrockyand rocky, or you can mix and match. moose and squirrel. in the rehearsal of that first episode, there was a moment-- the laugh was born in the rehearsal... ... becausetherewasamomentwhere chandler is sort of knocking back... -... 89espressos,becausehe'stryingto build up the nerve to break up with me. and he's completely wired and insane... ... andhegoesand getsmesome swimming pool full of coffee... ... andhandsit to me in this big, big cup. before i was able to get it up to my lips, he asked me if i wanted another one. -i'm gonna get another espresso. more latte? no, i'm still working on mine. and it was so funny that i had to laugh. and because i had to laugh, janice had to laugh in that moment... -... andi justlookedupathimandwent: i think " oh, my god" - the " oh, my god" was maybe born in that first episode. looking back, i'm not altogether sure. but i know that we had that great moment where she was like... -stop it, stop it, stop it. that became a signature thing for janice... ... havingtosortoffightback the overwhelming emotion. what a crappy night! though i've enjoyed the fact that your shirt's been sticking out... -... ofyourzippersinceyou came back from the bathroom. it's great to work in front of a live audience. i have the added boost of being the surprise element, which is fantastic. you walked around all night in the city by yourself? he hooked up! -the episode i did with ross, where i spent the night with ross... ... therewasallofthis buildup about who he had been with. the audience never suspected that it was gonna be me. tell us about her! ross, you left your scarf-- -and when i came out from behind that curtain... ... thereactionwenton for five minutes. we just stood there and stood there until some of us started to lose it. i mean, i think i started to crack up. and i lifted the scarf that i was returning to ross... -... andi eventuallyputitupnearmy face, because it was quite something. hey, you guys. people always want to hear me say, "oh, my god. you love me, chandler bing. you just don't know you love me. " -breathe. breathe. you're gonna kill me! and this is funny clown. it's only for after his naps, not before, or he won't sleep. -susan's gonna be here any minute. it's kind of an anniversary. i thought you guys got married in january? a different kind of anniversary. originally, i was auditioning for chandler... -... anditworkedout prettywell for a while, because i had four nipples. and then we did the surgery and-- no, no. and they botched it. so then they said, "well, would you play the lesbian?" let's say you and i give it another shot. -i know what you're gonna say. you're a lesbian. i never thought one way or another about the lesbian. it wasn't an issue for me, so i just thought it would be a fun part. how are your contractions? -i love them! each one's like a little party in my uterus! it's great to be a part of a show where you can have so much fun. and to deliver a baby-- that episode, for me... ... wasreallyoneofthe most emotional episodes for me... -... toactuallydeliverthe child. here he comes. let me see! i gotta see, i gotta see! a head. -it's huge! how are you doing this?

everyone wanted to tune in to see the episode where we got married. and it was the highest-rated show up to that point. -it was very well received, and i think for the gay community... ... itwashugetoactually be able to see that. i wish that there had been more, and i wish that i hadn't worn that hat. i hated that hat. thank you. -any time. ross. on the backside of it, i see that for many people it's been... ... thatwedgein thedoor for people to open themselves up... ... totheirtruestselves,andtohave a really positive role model on television. -i mean, i certainly didn't go out with that intention... ... butitsomehow,ina very lovely way, turned out to be that. and i'm really honored to be a part of that. to be given this kind of a woman to play, with such good writing... ... andwithsuchamazingactors, i'm just deeply grateful. -they're so generous with their humor and their comedy. and it's constant. off camera, on camera, in the dressing rooms, everywhere you go... ... they'realwaysworkingonbringing the best kind of comedy to the screen. for me it's been an incredible blessing to be a part of this family... -... andtohavethisexperience of working so collaboratively... ... withthecreatorsoftheshow and with the cast. that's why i wore a sweater, because it's such a close-knit cast. i have sold a 1 00 million copies of my books, and you know why?

" that's what i like about joey. any other guy would've been, " the english patient is my favorite movie too. " but joey goes, " no way, let's get die hard. i'm not watching that english crap. " -yeah, he's dreamy. i started going out with joey. check it out! you can see that girl's underwear. is she great, or what? -and then chandler and i fell for each other. let me get this hair off your neck. i would sneak out of joey's room to watch baywatch. god! is that baywatch? -yes, but i just watch it for the articles. and, you know, chandler loved baywatch, and we'd sit in the canoe. and i wore this hockey jersey... ... thatmatthewperrypickedout and was very specific about, like: " this is the sexy hockey jersey, so she has to wear that. " -here we go, little fella. what about the duck? the duck can swim. i kind of cheated on joey. it was just-- i was an immoral-- i was a hussy! she's the star of the play, and she is my girlfriend. -i get to have sex with the star of the play. people can hear you. i know! and then i turned into slutty kathy. is that an expensive blouse? -if you want it to be. here's your girlfriend's button. because i cheated on chandler, kind of... ... wewereon abreak, i don't know, with nick... ... aguyiwas doingaplaywith. -i loved the play. you were great. and nick, ditto. clearly you're having sex with him. shooting that show that week, during rehearsals... -... findingoutmy character cheated on him was a bummer. i don't want to cheat on him. i wanted to stay. but the girls fought for me. she wasn't sleeping with him. -good! she is now. courtney and lisa and jennifer talked to the producers, saying: " you can't do this. don't make her cheat. -she can go on the road with the play, but kathy can't cheat on chandler. " so these girls, these incredible actresses are fighting... ... tokeepme around, and i thought i was gonna cry. i think this could have been something really amazing. but, you know, this is probably for the best. -you know? i'm gonna miss you. goodbye, chandler. i was just so lucky, so incredibly lucky to have been given that part... ... andbeenabletowork with those guys... -... becausei learned,probably, more about sitcom acting... ... andhowto be agoodperson from those guys... ... thani havein years since combined. everybody on that set seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. everybody seemed to treat-- i can say more than " seemed. " -everybody treated each other with respect. and so it just created an atmosphere of, "holy cow, we love what we're doing. " it's just a really easy show to shine on, i think. they make it really easy for actors to do that. and so i really appreciate that. -it was a really wonderful experience. the stars are very talented individually, but they're also very talented together. that's what makes comedy work. comedy is about a team. i'd like to thank friends for letting me do this. it's been cool. -hi. i'm here to see estelle leonard. just a moment, let me see if she's in. hello. joey, sweetheart, you were fabulous! joey! -have you ever seen me ecstatic? no. well, here it is. i'm june gable, and i play estelle. and she is the agent of joey. -i already got you an audition for another world. all right! " cab driver number 2" ? you're welcome. i came in, and i auditioned. -and when i came in, i kind of came in like myself, and they were like: you know. i said, " am i boring you?" i felt terrible. and then he said, " just go away and do something outrageous with it. " so i went away and came back, and, in fact... -... i'monmy waytothestudio, and i have her with me. and i just got this. i came back to the audition wearing a fat suit and a bunch of cigarettes. what i meant was-- you don't mind if i eat, do you? -no. and a big sandwich. you know, one of those deli sandwiches... ... withcornedbeefand amillionthings, and i'm dripping. at one point i took the cigarette and put it out in the sandwich... -... andtheysaid,"that 'sit." well, well, well. joey tribbiani. so you came back, huh? they think they can do better, but they all... -what are you talking about? i never left you. you've always been my agent. really? yeah. -oh, well, no harm no foul. there's a history to her. she was an ex-showgirl. she's very old. i don't think-- i don't even know if anybody knows how old i have her in my head. -she's in her 80s, and tottering, really. but she's out there, you know. she puts that makeup on like she's still 20. she thinks she looks fabulous. so you're not mad at me for getting fired and everything? -joey, look at me! look at me! do i have lipstick on my teeth? at the beginning of every show they do a football huddle. they hold each other and they support each other. -and this has been there since the beginning. and you have to realize, with most shows like this... ... withthatmuchfameandfortune and success and power and money... ... andgothroughthe ups and downs, but support each other. we're not actors. -what a shame! because with her face and her chest, i could really put something together. i have great admiration for them for sticking with each other. these are for you. welcome to our country. -thank you. i'm from new york! it still smells like monkey in there. well, that saves us the conversation. you know, in some cultures, having a third nipple is actually a sign of virility. you get the best huts, and women dance naked around you. -are any of these cultures, perchance, in the tri-state area? my name is lauren tom, and i play julie, ross' girlfriend. well, the first in the long line of many what would become exes. bye. bye. -see you later, rach. bye-bye, julie. julie, i think, was just, like, a very nice gal. and the humor that the writers created... ... wasthefactthatrachel was gonna think she was a bitch. -can i say that on the dvd? no matter how she acted or what she did... ... becausetoher she was the other woman. you're losing your apron. let me get it. -there you go. thank you. what a bitch! you know, i've had kind of a long career by now... ... becausethisis ,like, what, six, seven years later. -and i've done greek tragedies and shakespeare... ... andfeaturefilmsand all thesethings. but the only thing... ... peoplewantto knowiswhat was it like kissing david schwimmer. julie? -yeah? sorry, you had a paleontologist on your face. just to answer your question, it was great. he's a good kisser. to put everyone's minds at ease. -you know, you are so amazing. is there anything you don't know? julie's so smart! julie's so special! i've had so many young asian girls come up to me... -... andsaythatwas the firstrole model that they've had... ... onsuchawidespreadtvshow, where they got to see an asian girl... ... whowasn'tspeakingwithanaccent, who was american... ... andwhowasdesirable and sexy and funny. and it was just a great way for me to feel like i've done something... -... thati 'mproudof . i just want you to know i wasn't always like this. before i met your sister, i was a normal guy who sold cellular phones. so, what were you thinking? i was thinking what it'd be like to kiss you. -really? no. you don't have to walk behind me anymore. i'm david arquette, and i played phoebe's stalker. that's it. -hey, you, j. crew guy. why have you been following me? all week, everywhere i look, there's you. you wouldn't return my calls. you sent back my letters. -what? one more chance, ursula. please. i'm not sure how i was cast in this role. i had just worked with courtney on scream. -maybe she threw my name in there. i'm not sure. a little nepotism. here's my binoculars. oh, great. -you're doing great. going strong. keep going. these are my night-vision goggles. this is the book i pretend to read when i'm watching her in the park. -and these are mad libs. they're just for fun. i don't normally do sitcoms, but i do a lot... ... ofpeepingtomaction, so i was prepared for this part. no, i did a sitcom for a year that really went nowhere... -... buti hadalittlebit of experience with it. but that's a whole different deal when it comes to friends... ... becauseit'sso established, and they're all so wonderful at doing it. you're kind of nervous going in there. phoebe? -yes? yes. what are you doing? oh, i was just here looking for my... . my... -... partofan oldsandwich. here it is! were you following me? perhaps. one of my fondest memories... -... issneakingintocourtney's dressing room. i guess i was sort of really behind the scenes... ... kindofstalkingcourtney,actually. this is my fiancée... ... mrs.knight. -forget it. it's ruined. never say that. if you can't get it out, cut around the stain... ... adda littlelace, you make a stylish throw. i came down to ask you a big favor. don't tell me you want to keep more stuff in my uterus. -i went in and auditioned for alice knight. she was a home-ec teacher and was in love... ... witha studentin highschool. a senior, i think he was-- please, god, he was a senior. i was in her home-ec class. -he was my best student. she was my best teacher. at the time, though, it was a one-shot deal. and then when lisa kudrow got pregnant... ... theyhadto comeup with a storyline... -... sotheyusedmeandvanni , which i'm very grateful for. you're too young... ... toreallyknowwhatyouwant. that's right, exactly. i had not met giovanni until we started work. -and all we did was make out. i mean, that's all we did. and i just remember standing on the set, and he's 1 2. he's 1 2. he's 1 2 years old. -and i'm looking at him, and i'm going: " oh, my god. oh, my god. " and we're standing there, and giovanni looks at me and he goes: " okay, you know what we're gonna do?" -and i went, " no. " and he went: " i'll throw you on the table and make out with you. we have to do it, and we have to be committed. and then it's over, and then it's done. " -and, boom, i'm on the table and we're making out. a year ago, i didn't know i had a brother. now i have a sister! oh, it's so great. i don't think i could've done it with anybody else... -... becausehejustsortof-- the 1 2-year-old took charge. and i was grateful. we talked about just living together... ... butwewanttohave kids rightaway. oh, my god! -great! i know audiences reacted really well to the storyline. and the audience at that show is incredible... ... becausetheyknow the characters so well. they anticipate a little bit. -you don't have to do too much. and they're right there with you. we would be truly honored if you would name the other boy baby. that's so nice! cougar. -you think about it. i have probably done the most pilots and been on the most failed sitcoms... ... ofanybodywe know. and it was interesting to see how it's done right. and they would get copies of the episodes... -... andwatchthemina dressingroom. i mean, and this was year four. so they would actually sit down and watch the tapes and study them... ... whichi hadneverseendone before. and i thought: -" oh, my god, they actually know what's going on. they actually work at it.

-fine, thanks. how are you? good... busy. listen... -you don't feel weird about what happened, right? a little. me too. what is that? we'll talk about that later. -francie and i saw charlie last night with another woman. what?

" please. scourza. -"please" is implicit, jenny. dad. you have a meeting with sloane? mccullough. psych evaluation? -routine. it's nothing i'm not used to. nothing i look forward to. such is the nature of the job. so, berlin. -it worked out. my meeting with k-directorate... we got the code. that was smart. well, i should go. i'll see you later. -dad. could we have dinner? how about thursday? do you have plans? no. -thursday. dinner. that'll be fine. analysis is working full time on the piece you brought back from spain. this is not glass. -they know that. it's a synthetic polymer. they believe it was made at least 500 years ago. before there were synthetic polymers? and so the mystery continues. -meanwhile, we have another situation. this is last year's united commerce organization administerial conference. a number of groups led planned attacks against the proceedings. zero defense among them. -word is they're planning to attend the conference this year in sao paulo. luc jacqnoud should be landing in morocco within 48 hours. i thought he was in le sante for stabbing a police officer. released 26 months early. he's got ties to french justice. -intel reports he'll be in morocco to meet a client. i.d. on the client? none. that's your job. you're kate jones. -justin bernell. you're traveling with mindspring learning tours. you arrive on wednesday. your objective is to monitor the meeting, i.d. the client, and make sure whatever it is that jacqnoud is up to doesn't happen. -is mochtar the contact? he's meeting you at the airport. this is an egyptian commando. we recruited him two years ago. marshall. -how is everyone? hi. all right. you're going in with the usual tech. camera, comm gear, and sat relay. -but this. this is new. now, this looks just like a normal purse, right? that you would wear going out with your lady friends. put your feminine things in there. -but... parabolic microphone. has a laser transmitter that works in a 300-yard radius. i also added a low-frequency tantalum wind filter that will eliminate any unwanted sounds below 150 hertz. not that you're gonna be in any wind. you're probably not gonna be in any wind. -let's say that you were in some wind. like a light breeze. like a or even something stronger. like a gust. this? -nothing. silent. wind filter. you feel lighter than air. and as you continue moving downward, you feel more and more relaxed. -the escalator continues down. the closer you get to the light, the more relaxed you feel. the escalator seems to continue forever. you feel safe and relaxed. still listening to my voice, you keep going. -and the farther you go, the more comfortable you feel. completely safe... and comfortable. it's only a matter of time before i find out the truth. jack? just give me a minute, will you? -sorry i'm late. that's all right. you okay? turns out we knew jacqnoud was traveling. we thought he was going to bahrain. -we don't know why sd-6 is so interested in u.c.o. you sure you're okay? yeah, i just... did you have a fight with your wife? my what? -your wife. what wife? i have no wife. no? there was a picture in your office. -i thought you were married. she and i are not remotely... you thought i was married this whole time? i guess so. what's the big deal? -nothing. so, when you get an idea on who he's meeting, and/or details of that meeting, call the usual number. hit the 8 key. we'll dead-drop in the trash can. why didn't you ask me if i had a fight with my girlfriend? -i don't know. did you? huge. good luck in morocco. thanks. -look at you. it's been awhile. how have you been? lately, too busy. too many people with dangerous toys. -any news on jacqnoud? yes, a friend tells me he's meeting a client today at a local marketplace. i've got a good spot for us. any word on the client? big mystery. -we still don't know. come. i'm parked right over there. charlie has called my cellphone six times. you still haven't seen him? -no. i want him to suffer. i'm not even gonna tell him where i am. how is chicago? did you get there okay? -chicago's fine. look, let me just say one thing. just so someone's saying it. there might be an explanation. he got into a car with a woman i have never met. -just talk to him. tell charlie what you saw. you owe him that. maybe. after he calls me a few more times. -call me if you need me, okay? love you. love you. how's the view? you want to give this a test run? -can you hear me? loud and clear. jacqnoud just walked in. who's he with? looks like he's solo. -you ready? i'm going shopping. bring us back something, would you? that's the plan. are you picking this up? -the mike's hot. do you have anything bigger than this? back there maybe? i don't understand you. don't understand you. -the meet just got here. got him. mochtar, you know this guy? no, but i'm gonna try and get an i.d. right now. bonjour. -nice to finally meet you in person. everything work smoothly getting here? yes, thank you. yes. merci beaucoup. -merci. so, how are we doing? you mean, phase three? what were the results? you will be very happy. -good. if patel's going to be our delivery man, i'll need the piece by tomorrow. as long as the financial arrangements can be made, that shouldn't be a problem. bon. -salud. damn it. the little guy's bodyguard. i know him. what? -from corsica two years ago. the son of a bitch broke my arm. mochtar, pack up. we've got to get out of here. we have somebody. -what's happening? syd, get out of there. you. i know you. i'm sorry. -you're talking to me? i think you remember me, too. i'm sorry. i don't know who you are. tell me why you're here. -or this time... i do more than just break your arm. he wanted to charge me $50. it's too much. dixon! -dixon, do you copy? dixon! are you okay? i'm fine. we have to go. -how was your trip? it was awful. syd, i'm sorry. what's going on with charlie? i'm meeting him for coffee. -he knows something's up. if he doesn't have an excuse, if he can't explain exactly why he was kissing some whore instead of going to law review, i'm gonna kill him. don't say that. she's on a rampage. she wasn't even gonna go out with him. -i had to force her to call him. hi. hi. let me ask you something. you think it's gonna go all right? -i do. love you. love you. see you, will. good luck. -let me get that for you. thanks. you look exhausted. pretty good assessment. so, hey, i was thinking about what happened. -you know... that, you know, that kiss. and i think i've figured out why it was so weird. why? well, because... -how often do you kiss someone that you're that close to? never. anyway, i... i know that it's awkward between us now, but... i think that i've figured out a way for it not to be so awkward anymore. -what? okay, that didn't work, did it? i have to go have dinner with my father. i feel like an idiot. no, don't. -don't. oh, my god, i have that feel... oh, my god. would you like to order, ma'am? i'll wait, thanks. -i'm meeting someone. thank you. thank you. so, you gonna tell me what's up? do i have to start guessing? -i saw you. saw me what? i saw you outside our house with a woman. what are you doing? watching me? -i don't have to answer that. you do. what were you doing? she's a friend. a friend you went out with instead of going to law review? -her name's rachel, right? no. you know, i trust you. i give you reason to. i am not gonna let you lie to me, charlie. -now explain yourself. francie, i love you. and i'm not playing around. we're just hanging out. that's all. -all right, hang out. hang out with rachel. ¤spendallyourtime waiting¤ ¤forthatsecondchance¤ ¤forabreak that would make it okay ¤ -¤there'salwayssomereason¤ ¤tofeelnot goodenough¤ ¤andit 'shard at the end of the day ¤ ¤i needsomedistraction¤ sorry to call so late. -no, it's all right. i won't be able to make dinner. work is just i can't get away. you understand. of course. -don't worry about it. i'll just see you at... i'll just see you. bye. ¤inthearmsoftheangels ¤ -¤farawayfromhere ¤ ¤fromthisdark, cold hotel room ¤ ¤andtheendlessness that you fear ¤ ¤youarepulled from the wreckage ¤ ¤ofyoursilentreverie¤ -i'm sorry to call you. i just didn't know who else to call. my father and i were supposed to have dinner tonight for the first time since i was a kid. i can't even remember the last time. he just didn't show. -he said he had work, and he didn't have work. this isn't just about my dad. when i was in morocco, the man who died... he was a friend of mine. he was a good man... who thought he was fighting for the right side, that he was working for the cia. -he was lied to. now he's dead. i had his blood on my hands. sydney. i feel like i'm losing my mind. -like i don't even know who i am anymore or what i'm doing or why i'm doing it. ¤it'seasiertobelieve¤ ¤andthissweetmadness¤ you just threw your beeper in the pacific. i know. -listen. there's something you need to know. when you first walked into my office with that stupid bozo hair... i thought you were crazy. i actually thought you might have been a crazy person. -but i watched you. i read your statement. i've seen how you think. i've seen how you work. i've seen who you are. -in this job, you see darkness. you see the worst in people. and though the jobs are different and the missions change and the enemies have a thousand names... the one crucial thing, the one real responsibility you have, is to not let your rage and your resentment and your disgust darken you. when you're at your absolute lowest, at your most depressed, just... remember that you can always... you know... you got my number. i put the recording you made through voice print. -the man that jacqnoud is meeting with is malik suari. he specializes in industrial demolition. this is his latest innovation. it's called the blu-250. commissioned by a swiss corporation to blow out mountain ranges for the production of high-speed trains. -there's a third piece. you will be very happy. good. if patel's going to be our delivery man, i'll need the piece by tomorrow. -the man they're referring to is dhiren patel. you think the winner of the edgar peace prize is working with luc jacqnoud? dhiren patel is india's delegate to the u.n. he's a former president of the southern hemisphere human rights commission. there is no way he's working with jacqnoud. -what's the connection? irony. jacqnoud is using mr. patel without his knowledge to send a message to the u.c.o. which is what? to abolish the organization. -we've traced at least half a dozen threats to jacqnoud. this has it that this last act will be his most violent yet. you think jacqnoud is going to plant an explosive on patel. yes, i do, and i want you two to stop it. that's why you're leaving for sao paulo tonight. -the job is to find patel, recover the weapon, and safeguard the u.c.o. any questions? any luck? i don't see patel anywhere. oh, and that's unusual, buying an international flight with cash? -but he was traveling alone, right? excuse me? daniel hecht was not traveling alone? i have a 20 on patel. let's get him out of here. -wait. something's wrong. he looks sick. sick? he just went down. -does he have a drink? yes. get the glass. is he okay? did somebody call a doctor? -excuse me. i'm a doctor. can i help? guess who's here. suari. -if they're bombing this place, it's gonna be tomorrow. opening ceremonies. oh, they fed patel some kind of powdered sedative compound. looks like a designer drug. keep an eye on suari. -i'm following patel. just confirm something for me. the person traveling with daniel hecht... the name was sydney bristow, right? no? are you sure? -okay, you gotta tell me who it was. just give me the name. oh, come on. what about, "you owe me one"? all right. -you remember my assistant, jenny? no, no. the other one. what are you doing? yes. -yes, yes. you give me the name, and she'll go out with you. no, she won't. no, she's not. you don't have to go out with him. -just say you are. please. fine. hi. i'd love to go out with you. -so give me the name. the person who was traveling with daniel hecht. yeah, i know. kate jones. kate jones. -there was a problem? no problem. no. he's ready to go. sponge. -scalpel. careful with that. that's the equivalent of 300 pounds of tnt. yes, don't kill us. seven years ago, i was recruited to work for sd-6, which i was told was a covert branch of the cia. -i was trained as a spy, warned not to tell anyone what i did. i thought i was working for the good guys until i told my fiancé about sd-6, and they had him killed. that's when i learned the truth, that sd-6 is part of the enemy i thought i was fighting. now, i'm a double agent, working with the real cia to bring down sd-6. my only ally is another double agent, a man i hardly know. -my father. rambaldi's become a priority. we need that code. we learned the k-directorate agent stole the key to the lock box. it was anna, wasn't it? -obviously, we need the key and they need the box. six hours ago i contacted k-directorate and we settled on an arrangement. you and anna will meet at a neutral location, under cover of both agencies' security forces. together you'll open the lock box. oh, my god! -zero, zero, one, one, zero... zero, zero, one, one, zero... did you get it? did you? dixon, i may need transmission. -i've lost her signal. zero, zero, one, zero. get that? got it! i'm giving sd-6 the wrong number. -no. give them what... i'm not giving the right sequence. no way! forget it! -sydney, it's critical. sydney, give them the number! that's an order! an order? yes. -we have to have a long talk when i get back to la. dixon, i've got the code! go! zero, one, zero, zero, one... zero, zero, zero, one, one, zero, zero, one, one, one. -just two ones... and... one, one, zero, one. that's it! one, one, zero, one. you did good. -you do not give me orders! maybe i do. i could have misled sd-6. you're not thinking. stop talking for a second! -if sd-6 got a bogus code, what happens when k-directorate get the right sequence? they would think i made a mistake. and anna didn't? she'd have given them the correct code. they'd know it said athens. -k-directorate would head there. sd-6 would have nothing and suspect you! we have to be very careful here. wildly, crazy-careful. if sd-6 suspects you in the least, it's over! -anna's been the enemy for three years. in berlin, i realised she wants sd-6 to burn almost as much as i do. to the cia, the only thing worse than sd-6 getting critical information is if k-directorate gets it first. anna is still your enemy. you're not into mysticism? -mysticism? neither am i but keep an open mind, it'll help. the code was written in 1489. the guy who wrote it was some sort of nostradamus. his name was milo rambaldi. -this binary was written by a 15th-century fortune-teller? why have i never heard of him? his designs were so advanced, they assumed he was insane. on some drawings, he made lists of numbers. id numbers of technology not made until now. -this year! it's real! it's a hunt. this man spent the last ten years of his life on one project. we don't know if it's a weapon, a fuel source, a transport system. -based on the little we know, its technology is beyond anything we have ever seen. how's your wife? i forgot to ask. good. and yours? -actually, emily's a bit under the weather, but thanks for asking. did you read the report? they found nothing. this is anthony rossi, transferring from jennings. he's working on the uco file. -you met marshall. this is bristow. i know your father. we read the code you recovered. we sent the team to athens. -i just had a call from sd-3. there was no evidence pertaining to rambaldi. we were there first. it turns out we made a mistake. but... so did k-directorate. -in our rush to decipher the rambaldi enigma, we misinterpreted the code. it left us with two series of digits. we assumed longitude and latitude. he was using a compression scheme. i should have seen that. -instead of athens, the team should have gone to malaga, spain. which is... where you are going. there's a 500-year-old church sitting on rambaldi's coordinates. what am i looking for? we don't know. -the only clue we have are two words that were part of the code. sol d'oro. golden sun. i was hoping you'd come. you said nothing to charlie? -i needed to talk to you. it's a match book with a number. yeah, rachel, who 'loved tonight'! ask charlie about it. yeah. -what else can you do? have you ever spied on anyone? i know it's totally beneath me but charlie's been so distant lately. when i ask what's wrong, he says, "nothing, baby, everything's fine." you don't believe him? -he has law review in an hour. and you wanna follow him? so much, i cannot tell you. i think spying on your boyfriend is regarded as a bad relationship precedent. what if he's cheating on me? -you're a really good friend. yes, i know. so this thing happened with will the other night. what? did he come on to you? -no. no. i kissed him. what? ! -you kissed will? i know, stop it! we were in the apartment after you left and we'd had all those drinks! i don't believe it! there he is. -start the car. start the car! no. wait till he's a block away. look at you, gettin' all into it! -everyone knows you wait. i don't know you wait. you wait. what's he doin'? ok, i guess he's not goin' to law review. -h-e-c-h-t? you're certain? ok. thank you. i promise, i won't call you. -danny's meant to be registered at a conference in singapore. you said. litvack wants the baptist church copy. i checked all the conferences, he's not registered. i know! -will tippin. hey, it's me. hey. hi. how'd your trip go? -ok. fine, thanks, how are you? good, busy. listen, you don't feel weird about what happened, right? a little. -me too. we'll talk about that later. francie and i saw charlie last night with another woman. what? you're kidding! -she spent the night at my place. she's here now. she's sort of a mess. oh, god! the bank called. -i might have another trip. you take a crazy amount of trips. would you drop by later, check she's ok. yeah, of course. thank you. -i should go. ok, go. i'll talk to you later. that was sydney. you're different when you talk to sydney. -don't analyse me. can you get the number of the guy who works for the airport? what's his name? luis escorza. what? -if you want me to do something for you, you say, "please". please, escorza! ok? you know, "please" is implicit, jenny! dad! -you've a meeting with sloane? mccullough. psych evaluation? routine. nothing i'm not used to. -nothing i look forward to. but such is the nature of the job. so, berlin. it worked out. my meeting with k-directorate, we got the code. -that was smart. well, i should go. i'll see you later. dad could we have dinner? how about thursday? -do you have plans? no. thursday. dinner. that'll be fine. -analysis is working on the piece she brought back from spain. this is not glass. we know that. it's a synthetic polymer. they believe it was made at least 500 years ago. -before we had synthetic polymers? so the mystery continues. meanwhile we have another situation. last year's united commerce organisation ministerial conference. some groups led planned attacks against it. -zero defence among them. word is, they will be at this year's conference in sao paulo. luc jacqnoud should be in morocco in 48 hours. isn't he in la sante for stabbing a police officer? released early. -he has ties to french justice. intel reports he'll be in morocco to meet a client. id on the client? none. that's your job. -you're kate jones and justin burnell. you're with mindspring learning tours, arriving wednesday. you are to monitor the meeting, id the client and make sure whatever it is jacqnoud is up to doesn't happen. is mokhtar the contact? he's meeting you at the airport. -this is an egyptian commando. we recruited him two years ago. marshall? how is everyone? hi. -alright. you're going in with the usual tech. camera, comm gear and sat' relay. but this... this is new. this looks like a normal purse, right? -you would wear it going out with your lady friends. put your feminine things in there. but... parabolic microphone! it has a laser transmitter with a 300-yard radius. i also added a low-frequency wind filter to eliminate unwanted sounds. -not that you're going to be in wind. probably not... but if you were... like a light breeze, like a... or even something stronger, like a gust. like... -this? nothing. silent wind filter. you feel lighter than air. and as you continue moving downward, you feel more and more relaxed. -the escalator continues down, and the closer you get to the light, the more relaxed you feel. the escalator seems to continue forever and you feel safe and... relaxed. still listening to my voice, keep going, and the farther you go, the more comfortable you feel. completely safe and comfortable. it's only a matter of time before i find out the truth. -jack? just give me a minute, will you? sorry i'm late. it's alright. you ok? -yeah. we knew jacqnoud was travelling. we thought he was going to bahrain. we don't know why sd-6 is so interested in uco. sure you're ok? -yeah, i just... did you fight with your wife? my what? your wife? what wife? -i... i have no wife. no? there's a picture in your office. you and that woman. -she and i are not remotely... you thought i was married? i guess so. what's the big deal? nothin'! -so... when you get an id on who he's meeting, and details of that meeting, call the usual number. hit the eight key. we'll dead drop in the trash can. why did you ask me if i had a fight with my girlfriend? i don't know. -did you? huge! good luck in morocco. thanks. look at you. -it's been a while. hello! how've you been? busy! too many people with dangerous toys. -any news on jacqnoud? a friend tells me he's meeting a client today at a market place. i've got a spot for us. any word on the client? big mystery. -we don't know. come, i'm parked right over there. charlie has called my cellphone six times! you still haven't seen him? no. -i want him to suffer. i'm not even gonna tell him where i am. how was chicago?

of course. -don't worry about it. i'll just see you at... i'll just see you. ok. bye. -i'm sorry to call you. i just didn't know who else to call. my father and i were supposed to have dinner tonight. for the first time since i was a kid. i can't remember the last time. -he just didn't show. he said he had work. and he didn't have work. this isn't just about my dad. in morocco, that man who died, he was a friend. -he was a good man, who thought he was fighting for the right side, that he was working for the cia. he was lied to. and now he's dead. i had his blood on my hands. sydney. -i feel like i'm losing my mind. like i don't even know who i am any more, or what i'm doing, or why i'm doing it. you just threw your beeper in the pacific. i know. ok, listen to me. -there's something you need to know. when you first walked into my office, with that stupid, bozo hair i thought you were crazy. i thought you might be a crazy person. but i watched you and i read your statement. and i've seen... -i've seen how you think. i've seen how you work. i've seen who you are. in this job, you see darkness. the worst in people. -and though the jobs are different and the missions change and the enemies have a thousand names, the one crucial thing, one real responsibility you have, is to not let your rage, resentment and your disgust darken you. when you're at your absolute lowest, your most depressed, just remember that you can always... you know? you've got my number. i put the recording you made through voice print. -the man that jacqnoud is meeting with is malik sawari. he specialises in industrial demolition. this is his latest innovation. it's called the blu 250. commissioned by a swiss corporation to blow out mountains for high-speed trains. -there's a third piece. you will be very happy. good. if patel is to be our delivery man, i'll need the piece by tomorrow. the man they're referring to is dhiren patel. -the winner of the edgar peace prize? patel is india's delegate to the un. a former president of the human rights commission. he would not work with jacqnoud. so what's the connection? -irony. jacqnoud is using patel to send a message to the uco. which is what? abolish the organisation. we've traced half a dozen threats to jacqnoud. -this has it that this last act will be his most violent yet. you think he'll plant an explosive on patel? i do. and i want you two to stop it. you leave for sao paulo tonight. -the job is to find patel, recover the weapon and safeguard the uco. any questions? any luck? i don't see patel anywhere. that's unusual. -buying an international flight with cash. he was travelling alone, right? excuse me? daniel hecht was not travelling alone? i have a 20 on patel. -let's get him out of here. something's wrong. he looks sick. sick? he just went down. -does he have a drink? yes. get the glass. is he ok? did somebody call a doctor? -excuse me. i'm a doctor. can i help? yeah. guess who's here. -sawari. i tell you, if they bomb this place, it'll be tomorrow at the opening. well, they fed patel some kind of powdered sedative compound. it looks like a designer benzo. keep an eye on sawari. -i'm following patel. confirm something. the person travelling with daniel hecht, the name was sydney bristow? right? no? -are you sure? ok, then, tell me who. just give me the name. c'mon. what about you owe me one? -alright. you remember my assistant, jenny? no. the other one. what are you doing? -yes. give me the name, and she'll go out with you. no, she won't. she'll go out with you. hold on a sec. -just say you are. i'm not... please. fine. hi! -yeah. ok. i'd love to go out with you. ok? right, give me the name. -the person who was travelling with daniel hecht. yeah, i know. kate jones? kate jones. there was any problem? -ready to go. sponge. scalpel. careful with that. that's equivalent to 300lbs of tnt. -yes, don't kill us. oh, hey, guys. hey, debra. hi. hey, glad you're here. -either one of you free tonight? debra, this is a little uncomfortable. i mean, right in front of ray? no, seriously. ray and i are going to a play with some friends tonight. -we have an extra ticket. is there nudity? come on! gianni. it's an extra ticket that's gonna go to waste. -it's just me, ray, and amy. robert's amy? no, it's just amy. she dropped the "robert" when they broke up. all right, forget it. -i'll give the extra ticket to one of my girlfriends. oh, no, three women and me at a play? gianni, please go, come on. i'll buy you dinner. all right, i'll go. -gianni's going! all right. good. this is what a true friend is for. you saved me. -if you get one with nudity, i'm in! hey. hey. what are the chances of you whipping me up an omelet? oh, hey! -what are you doing? ray, you haven't even had breakfast yet. you were laughing. i thought you were in a good mood. good morning. -hey, robert. hey. so, what are you doin'? i'm hoping the prize in here is an omelet. so, i heard you went on a little double date with amy and gianni. -it wasn't a date. how'd you know about that anyway? what, are you forgetting i'm a cop? i got eyes all over the city, baby. yeah, any of those eyes watch you get dressed this morning? -that's funny. that's a keeper. very funny. so... did they sit next to each other in the theater? who, amy and gianni? -yeah, those are the seats we had. ah,theassigned seats. good for you. that's the way to go. oh, my... -iookin' like we're gonna get a little rain today. nah, really? yeah, a little bit. alittle bit. so, what do they have there, seats with armrests? -yeah. did they share one? did they share an armrest? robert, this isn't bothering you, is it? 'cause it's been quite a while since you broke up with amy, and you seemed so eager to date other people. -yeah-- yeah-- i'm- i'm-- it's... i just want to make sure that she's not getting hurt. gettin' hurt? yeah. -you know what gianni is like, raymond, when it comes to the women. what are you talking about? oh, you don't have to play dumb, raymond. you're the one always begging' him to tell his latest erotic escapade. what are you lyin' for... -iiar? don't drink our coffee and lie like that. nice try. i know you're concerned about amy, robert, but she's an adult, and she's not gonna let anybody take advantage of her. yep, you're right. -you're right. she can handle herself. well, i should be getting out of here before that rain starts. that's really all i was worried about. she is free to date whoever she wants, and if that's a "ladies' man" like gianni, so be it. -i hope they're happy. i really do! oh... holy cow! i've never seen him like this. -all right. don't laugh. don't laugh. what? we're brothers. -i broke my pinky once, he laughed for three days. hi, raymond. oh, hi ma. where's debra, dear? she's upstairs, but she wanted me to ask you if you could make me some eggs. -sure, sure. sit down. all right. i just saw robert leave. he looked angry and upset. -is everything okay? yeah, he's fine. could you melt some cheese in there? of course. so what's the matter with robert? -does it have to do with amy? yeah. how'd you know that? well, he was over at the house for breakfast, and i happened to mention that gianni went with amy to the play last night. of course. -that's how he knew. "eyes all over the city." hi, marie. why'd you tell my mother about amy and gianni? what? -i don't know. we took the kids to the dentist, and we were talking. it just came up. oh. but you took the kids to the dentist two days ago. -yeah, so what? so we didn't know about gianni until yesterday. yeah. whatever. okay, i'm late. -no, no! wait a minute. wait a minute. how could you tell my mom two days ago about gianni and amy when your friend didn't cancel till yesterday? i don't know, ray. -i'm late. who cares when i told her? oh my god! there was no canceled ticket, was there? huh? -you planned this whole thing! what thing? this "get robert jealous" thing. please. why would i do that? -because... because amy's your friend, and robert broke up with her, and this will make him run back to her, and men are bad, and women have to stick together so one day they can be president! let me tell you something. the fact that robert got jealous only means he still has feelings for her. you did do it. and the genius part of it all was -ieaking it to my mother. because you knew, oh, you knew that telling her was just like whispering it into robert's ear. unbelievable. you believe that, ma? she played you. -she played you like a fiddle! mom! mom? your eggs are ready, raymond. oh my god! -you're in on it! this is-- it's sick! who else is in on it? amy and gianni in on the whole thing, too? all i neededwas debra. -it was your idea? ! yes, it was, and it's a good one. robert needed this to happen to him so he could realize what amy meant to him before it's too late. but you can't do this. -you're trying to create... fate! you can't create fate. then it's not fate. then it's like voodoo. -this is unbelievable. the two of you are finally working together. huh? i'm telling robert. wait a minute. -let me ask you something. you want robert to be alone for the rest of his life? no, but still-- don't you think robert deserves to be happy and to have a family? -yes, but... it's just supposed to happen. you're evil. i'm telling robert. you hold it right there, raymond. years ago i gave birth to two beautiful boys... and i wanted nothing more than to see them grow up, get married, and give me grandchildren. -now, if you want to take that dream away from me, by all means, you go and tell that to robert. and i'll just be back across the street living out the rest of my life as best i can... with a hole in my heart. so you've made me an accomplice. your soul is as black as night. -hey, guys. hey, gianni. hey, listen. we're going golfing tomorrow. i'm taking you to make up for last night. -we'd better golf. that play was brutal. i just stopped by real quick to ask if you guys want to have dinner again tonight with me and amy. what? we really hit it off. -she's great. we're going out again tonight. you guys want to come? yeah, yeah. yeah, that would be nice. -yeah. ahh... look at what you did. hello, raymond. hey. -where's debra, dear? upstairs. what, are you working on plan "b"? don't be silly. so what the hell happened here? -robert found out amy went to a play with gianni, and he pulled off the doorknob. poor bastard. he gets that from me. what? the jealousy. -you know, this knob is nothing. i was once so jealous over your mother that i put my fist through a desoto. you punched a car? yeah. your mother and i were still dating when she started to turn the screws on me to get engaged. -but there was still plenty of fish in the sea, and i wasn't ready to hang up my tackle box. then i hear through the grapevine she's gonna make dinner for chuck pecorella. long story short, i spent the night in the hospital trying to pull his headlight out of my knuckle. you got that way over mom? -yeah. i don't know. when your mother cooks, it's something... what do you call it? special. i didn't want her doing that for some other guy. -they stitched up my hand. i went straight to her house... and from then on, she cooks only for me. wow. i didn't know that's how it all started. that's a nice story, dad. -yeah, i don't like to tell it 'cause it doesn't have a happy ending. i got it. hey, you two. hi. hey, gianni. -ray's in the kitchen with his father. let me go say hello to mr. b. isn't that cute how gianni calls frank "mr. b"? yeah. so, anyway... -amy, i don't know why i was wondering this, but have you heard from robert lately? robert? no, not in a while. but it's okay. i never knew that gianni and ray delivered futons together. -oh, yeah. that's back when they were swingin' bachelors. not much has changed for gianni. he's still swingin'. i gotta tell ya, -i can see why he's popular with the girls. he's so cute. yeah. hello, amy. oh, marie. -you look great! thank you. you're not wearing heels? do you miss that? what do you mean? -well, i mean, gianni is so... hey, mrs. b. hello, little gianni. all right. let's go. -all aboard the love train. no, wait, raymond. i barely had a chance to visit with amy. actually, we have an 8:00 reservation, so we probably should get going. -let's go. can't you wait just two minutes more? no, ma, we got a hot double date. what's the rush, ray? your mom and amy were chatting. -and i'm sure it was fascinating. let's go. hello, robert. amy. hey, man. -gianni. what are you doing here? ma called, told me to come over, said she smelled gas. no one else smells it? listen, robert, this is a little weird for me. -no, no reason for you to feel weird. you're not the one watching your girlfriend go out with one of his buddies. wait a minute, robert. i'm not your girlfriend. i never thought you were like this, amy. -what does that mean? sounds like someone still cares for you. if you're interested, i got a lot of single buddies at the precinct i'm close to. you want their phone numbers, too? -robert, i didn't know-- no, gianni. it's okay. you don't have to explain anything. deb, we'll meet you at the car. -maybe we should just-- no no! it's okay. i'll be out in a minute. go ahead, gianni, please. -did you want to say anything else? nothing? i didn't think so. what did i do? don't be so hard on yourself, robert, okay? -the truth is, these two-- ooh! believe me, robert, i know exactly how you're feeling. i was just such a jerk to amy. no, you weren't. -i think she knows you were joking. what is wrong with me? why did i do that? you love her? hey, whoa whoa whoa. -hold on, you maniac! no guy wants to see his ex go out with a friend. just 'cause he freaked out doesn't mean he loves her! okay? don't you two think you've done enough? -robert, let me tell you what they did-- robbie... i think this is proof that you and amy belong together. i know you weren't trying to hurt her feelings. you just couldn't contain your passion. -you may have said the wrong thing, but there's a way to fix this. it's not too late for you to go after amy and tell her what is truly in your heart. wait a minute! they set this whole thing up, robert, to get you jealous. they put amy and gianni together. -it was a big scheme. don't you go back out with amy because of what just happened. you think about how you feel and not how they say you feel. they're throwin' the voodoo at you! and look at what happened. -people are starting to get hurt. let me tell you something, ladies, you're not going to stop me from doing what's right, because you cannot manufacture love! ma... ma, is this true? it was debra's idea. -it was not! oh my god, i can't believe this. you set me up? we were just trying to help you, robbie. help me? -all right. what did i miss? i think i blacked out for a minute. yes, just help you, robert. we thought this was what you needed. -yeah, because they know what every guy needs. shut up, ray! what are you gonna do to me? i'm numb from here down! how can this help out any relationship? -this is sick! it's sick! sorry, robert. we didn't mean it to go this far. oh, really? -how was it supposed to go, huh? well, i'll tell you... back when your father and i were seeing each other, he found out that i had a date with a man called chuck pecorella. and frank came running back to me. it was so sweet. it was the first time he ever expressed his true emotions. -yeah, ma, those were his true emotions 'cause it wasn't a scheme. it just happened. don't be naive, raymond. what? what do you mean? -chuck pecorella was gay. what? your father didn't need to know that. all he needed to know was what he was feeling. all right. -the knob's fixed. but go easy on it, 'cause it ain't giant-proof. i think i'm going to go home and work my way through a carton of ho-hos. you know what, dear? tomorrow maybe you and i can pick up amy and drop by robert's apartment, and then the four of us can work this whole thing out. -you stay away from me... women! i'm starting to think maybe chuck pecorella has the right idea. what? chuck pecorella? never mind, frank. -that guy owes me. i'm serving his life sentence! excellent work. come on. they're out there. -we gotta go. are you coming? you never listen to me, can ya? boy, amy and gianni really got something going, don't they? all right, ray. -i saw. i'm just sayin' they were really diggin' each other. okay, ray. you were right. -i was right. should've learned my lesson the first time. what do you mean, first time? oh, it was nothing. i had this boyfriend in college, and he was really something. -when he broke up with me, i had this whole plan to get him back. what did you do? i married you. i'm sorry. -yeah, come on. happy birthday, sweetie. thanks. happy birthday thanks. -cool. wait, i must show you all. look at what tim gave me. is the receipt still in the bag? thanks -this is from all of us. unlike men, we women can come more than once. the other day in tom's panda, i nearly went crazy. sex in a panda. compared to that, the kama sutra's basic gymnastics. -hello, chayenne. hey. hello i heard it was your birthday. yeah -happy birthday thanks what was your name again? inken that's right. -i can never remember. well, ready for the game? you're about to be relegated, aren't you? well, we still have two games left. sorry, but you won't be winning any points from us. -i want to see sweat! laura, go lower, keep your neck straight. karsten, have done the group hug yet? yes. yeah, right. -let's go! doesn't matter, no problem, calm down! tell me, have you lost weight? me? no. -i can see that. misery isn't the only thing that can suck! i love you. is everything okay? oh, i'm feeling kinda tired. -man, was that a kicking. the rematch is next week. are you coming to the party anyway? yes, of course. no wonder chayenne has so much energy. -during sex, she comes a lot! i genuinely don't understand that. i wonder if that's true. god. do you think we can believe her? -i can hardly believe her. i've heard that chayenne's shagged the coach. great. well, i'm going for a shower. here. -thanks. hold on. before i forget, i've got a present from my mother. i hope it's not another video. oh, i think it is. -when i visited my mother on her deathbed... and she told me she'd never had an orgasm... i took her in my arms, and we both cried. after my first orgasm, my life changed. i decorated my house, and passed my exam. so, for a moment, all was still, and i felt i could fly. -it's like pure energy pumping through your veins. i fainted for a moment the very first time. it's like a miracle. i was gone for a few seconds. yes, but... most of those women were over thirty. -breasts starting to sag. i don't have sagging breasts. frigid women go quickly. really? the summer holidays are next week. -tim's away, and i will come no more. i need a boyfriend first. arsehole! men! do you need to have sex a lot to have an orgasm? -you need to wait for the right man! what are you looking at? did i look at you? and are you really so energetic afterwards? oh, i'm always exhausted, actually. -hello, mum. i need to talk to inken for a minute. what? it's for you. happy birthday to you happy birthday to you -happy birthday, dear inken happy birthday to you. did vicky show you the film? yes. thanks, it was really interesting. vicky said that your boyfriend wasn't able to satisfy you. -but, i... no, don't blame yourself! blame him! don't simply fall into the old role, take responsibility. don't forget, you always remember the first man. -obviously. so, i also... mum, we're really late. nice of you to call. bye. -bye then. you told your mother that tim... that he... is a loser? tim can be really sweet. have you ever had an orgasm? -no. of course not, because tim's a loser. stop, there's the house! i'm getting a bit nervous. man, my knickers are stuck! -need a hand, inken? maybe it's going to be fun. fun? it's going to be dead. it's really cool that you could come. -hey, there you are! good to see you, inken! you too. hello. we all chipped in for the food. -oh, in the dish? cool, thanks. great. don't lean on the walls, because of the wallpaper. always use the ashtrays. -don't put bottles on the tiles, they fall over... and cause scratches. just put your things here. do you want to dance later? the 'jungs von den chillmeistern' are coming. the what-meisters? -the 'chillmeisters', a top band. i was at school with them, they're well cool. i'll see you later. ciao. hi! -the chillmeister... well, this is a fine spread. where's the booze? looks like it's over there. come on, girls. -we're not here to have fun, after all. well then... get pulling. excuse me. can you get up? -i... you can sit down now. who are you? we're with inken. didn't she say? -no. hi. hi. happy birthday. thanks. -it's julia's birthday too. really? happy birthday. thanks. congratulations to you both. -i'm dirk. hello, mouse. hi. what's with the geek? i need to talk to you, babe. -later. do you want to leave already? no, just talk. well, as long as it's not too serious. what an arse! -who's that? dirk. god, i hope he's not another sixteen year old. but i thought you wanted to talk. later, sweet one. -hey, i'll be just a minute. can you put this underneath? okay. that's great. carry on. -hello. well, what does it taste like? man! schädel, you arse! calm down, it's only water. -piss off! i could suck on your nipples. schadel, bugger off! the chillmeisters are here! the chillmeisters are here! -the chillmeisters are here! hit me, baby. who's that? do you fancy him? shit, i don't know. -chillmeister... tim... what? i must tell you. i've never had an orgasm. -what? but that's terrible. why have you never told me? i'm telling you now. well then, i can hardly celebrate your birthday... without making an effort. -that's only fair. i'm going for a pee, you coming? whatever. say, is victoria at school with you? yes, for about eight years -eight years? on the other hand, i could be mistaken. they're playing my song! hey, what are you looking at? just my parent's holiday video. -i think i've found the right one. but maybe i shouldn't commit myself so early in the evening. come with me. you mean that? well, yes. -come on. hi. no. i'm going to the toilet. i've heard the you're the worst driver in the country. -don't you fancy a quick fuck? if you don't mind me puking. please put a cushion over my face if i come. i don't want to scream. obviously. -mum? dad? sorry. come here! come here! -why did you put the cushion over my face? why? i mean, you came, didn't you? when? well, when you went "mmm". -that wasn't an orgasm. didn't you feel anything at all? it was a nice feeling. well then, that's it. it's no more than that. -really? you're not my first girlfriend. have you seen vicky? leni, shouldn't you be going home soon? it's pretty late. -get lost, schädel. sorry, it was only a question. tell you what. wait a minute, wait a minute. i only want a bet with you. -i bet you can't put the condom over your head and inflate it till it bursts. are you nuts? why should i do that? then again, you could chicken out, like you always do. i never chicken out. -you always do. i don't i'll give you 20 marks if you do it. but only if you do it too. of course. -come on, then. the little one is so daring. she'll do anything for a bet. hey, baby, what was that look for? i don't give a shit. -that was a bet. what else would you do for 20 marks? give me a blow job? schädel, you really are a wanker! hey, wait. -don't listen to him, he's had too much to drink. i don't give a shit! he should pay, or he can kiss my arse. for all i care, it was all for nothing. i can't find my fucking socks! -i only took them off for you. i'm going to get a quick drink, okay? so that was my birthday. not the best. perhaps i expected too much of it. -it would be easier if i didn't expect so much of it. but that doesn't work. especially not at my age. do you want to go in first? i don't mind -so, two hours theory, two minutes practice? come. sorry. lena? man, what was that? -inken? oh, there you are. tell me, have you seen lena? no. man, i need to go home. -how was it for you upstairs? yeah, great. yeah, it was really good. what about you? did you hook up with anyone? -i guess you you could say that... here you are. still sulking? schädel made me look like an arse once. at a party, in front of two hundred people. -really embarrassing. take it, i got it from schädel. that's not the point. isn't it funny how much things in life depend upon coincidence? like what? -well, everything. if i'd been on the telly earlier you'd have run like mad. for sure. pity that no one saw schädel on the telly. you really fainted? -there you are. we're going home, you coming? come on. can i call you? yes, of course. -how can i reach you? you'll soon find out. well...? we eyed each other up. what, he eyed you up? -well, just looked. looked but nothing happened. didn't he want to kiss you? but, well, i mean ... you shouldn't kiss until the first date. lena, that is such bullshit! -i mean, if he didn't... wait a minute. if he didn't try to kiss you, he's not interested. perhaps not. want a swig? -no, thanks. don't worry about me, i'm completely sober. listen, vicky. please, please, please. don't "listen, vicky" me, okay? -that's how my mother begins every sentence. i'll make it. dad? inken, what are you doing here? i live here. -yes, of course. weren't you staying with vicky tonight? well, fair enough, till tomorrow. till tomorrow. and how did you find the party? -great. you? me too. really good. how long are your parents away for? -two weeks or so. where were you the whole time? having a conversation with tim. right? about the content of his t-shirts, or what? -he's an unusual guy with unusual taste. i find he's the usual tasteless type. but that's a matter of opinion. what are you doing now? i'm going for a kip. -did he keep his socks on? no, he didn't! funny, i always keep my socks on during a conversation. hello! you must be inka. -inken. that's what i said. kristin. are you from the advertisement? that's right. -tell me, has your dad really been without a woman for four years? yes. that, i think, is a pity. he sure knows what to do with a woman. can i borrow your towel, inka? -sure. everyone has sex. any stupid cow has an orgasm, but not me. but then it's no use overreacting. what have i got to complain about? -after all, i'm alright. there are kids dying in africa. morning! no, i'll serve you today. how's things with tim? -fine. does he treat you well? bye for now good. kristin is nice, isn't she? could you perhaps clear a shelf in the bathroom for her? -yeah. i'm going crazy! i know i've flunked. i've already dreamed about tonight. i never made classes, my mother will kick me out... -i'll end up on the perfume counter, and my husband will be on the dole. shit. fucking maths. perhaps i should sleep with him, to get used to it. nothing for you, vicky. -new bike? i got it for my birthday. only the saddle is a bit high. next time, we'll take the bikes. hi, mouse, did we have a date? -sperm contains vitamin c no, but we need to talk, tim. you want to thank me. thank you? yes, certainly. -for last night. that's a good idea. let me see, where do i begin? for the hours of foreplay? for the slogans on your t-shirts? -or for almost being smothered by a pillow? no, tim, i'm not going to thank you. i wanted to tell you that i had an orgasm. with who? with my bike saddle. -nah. you're not telling me... yes, tim. you know what, just find yourself a girl with a vitamin c deficiency. perhaps she'll believe your cock and bull stories. -tell me, have you got a problem? no, not any more. please yourself then, inken! already have. you can't imagine what's just happened to me, i had an orgasm! -on my new racing bike. i was riding home,.... then i went to tim's and i dumped him. i dumped him. you ought to have seen it... really? -hello, mrs. lindner. can i possibly speak to lena? yes. lena, it's your friend inken. she just had an orgasm on her new bike. -what? that's unbelieveable. how long did it last? to the bottom of the high street. i told tim i'd rather do it myself. -he's such an idiot. i'm glad you're free of him. yes. you know, some women marry such men and then consider cystitis is a multiple orgasm. i think... -i think it's coming! i feel it. slowly, but surely! it's coming! vicky, are you alright? -i must say. i still didn't have one. i... i still haven't had an orgasm. never. -not at all. but... but you have always... yes. that was a lie. and how do you feel? -well, i don't know. i mean, what woman has really had her first orgasm on a bike? cousin, they had their first with gymnastics. yes, but does that count? that's not really the same. -wait a minute. when i go home, i go into the garage or the den. you know my wife constantly talks about sex? i can't do that. it's so vulgar, i can't do that. -excuse me, please. hello, mum, it's me. i have a question. on the bike saddle, it can only be clitoral, never vaginal. some women can only have the one, others only the other. -there are also those who can have both. for example, when you go on top of a man, lean forward... and if he lifts his back, and the vaginal muscles... i don't want to know it all now. you understand? thanks. -bye! hey, don't be depressed. that's great, anyway. you're the only one of us who's had an expresso. yes, but only a clitoral... expresso. -and then only off a bike saddle. don't make such a fuss. we must become relaxed. relaxed? yes! -all three of you are on simultaneously? when women spend a lot of time together, their cycles match up. really? i read that geishas put condoms on with their mouths. hi, kids, are you alright? -just don't swallow. that's an oral master stroke. then again, next year the oral exam becomes a piece of cake. i can't go any further. me neither. -have you felt anything? no. i don't understand why i came within a minute the other time. oh well, never mind. at least we had a go. -"what turns you on? a: a mortgage. b: a proposal. -c: a candle-light dinner. d: sm games." d. -what's that test for? "how lustful are you?" but it's extremely clear. "what do you prefer in bed? a: intimate shaving. -b: spanking. c: group sex. d: -all the above?" d. what, you'd do them? no, but 'd' has the most points. the idea is to find out how lustful you are, not to break the high score. -i'm extremely lustful. but how do blokes know that? since when did you read such bullshit? from my father's girlfriend. the orgasm fairy. -i'm off to the loo. 10 rules to finding a man for life. "if you are looking for a man to whom you are not just a number... but which will lead to a genuine loving relationship... then follow the following rules: never call him straight back. don't go to the cinema on the first date. -be the first to finish the telephone call." hello? hi, nick, it's me, lena. hi, lena. sorry i called right now. -no worries, there's no hurry. actually, i'm also really busy and must make it quick. are you busy this evening? you want to meet up? yeah, how do you feel about the cinema? -cinema? hello? lena? yeah, okay. the cinema is great. -shall we meet at 7 o'clock? seven. yes, ok. okay. must go - it's my shot. -until 7, yes? yes, i... shit! i thought the film was funnier. it doesn't matter, it's okay. -do you find it boring? i don't like the cinema very much. know what? i think i've become a lesbian. naked men look strange. -all those dangly bits. you know what? we should put a contact ad in. contact ad? how? -by mail? my mother has built a community on the internet. a community? so, darling, now we're ready. "what turns you on? -sm games" tell me, have you ever had sex? with somebody else? yeah. no, you? -what are they doing in there? probably in the chatroom again. vicky's addicted to the net. if you could choose a woman, which one would you have? inken. -or pamela anderson. i'm going over to call for inken. what? yeah, i'm going to tell her that you'll let her deflower you ... because pamela is busy. hold on! -maybe: "laughter, joy and honesty, and cuddles any time." then we'll only get wimps answering. hold on, more like... "let the sparks fly for a short while" -no? i have it! "pushy penises"? can we meet up tomorrow? well, no, i ... -i think i'm busy. that's a real shame. well then... around three? sleep well -till tomorrow. hey, they're coming. sometimes i could eat you up. well, come on. hello! -we've got to get the post. oh well. bye then. come on now! in pink she's perfect. -i don't know what you do. flin is so sweet. vicky, i know! there he is! and? -nothing for you today, vicky. thanks. they're not coming, let's go. nonsense. perhaps they're already here. -that guy over there has been looking at us the whole time. come on. i bet that's him. i don't know. let's go. -"i'm sick and tired of rascals with pushy penises" i want pure lust and tenderness, through craftsmanship. i don't want roses from macho posers. i want wet trousers." i'm sorry? -"wet trousers"? excuse me. and? wasn't him. wasn't it? -hi. i'm thorsten. i think we have a date? hello. are we rocking? -my car's outside. yeah. yeah, good luck. hey, guys, i think we should write a track about tits. about tits? -yeah, man, i think tits are awesome. what's so good about tits? what rhymes with tits? okay, so you don't like tits. you prefer the childish ones. -cool. give me a beat. the entrance to the rehearsal rooms is down in the cellar. guys, i cannot lie, for me finding a girl is easy. the hottest chicks come here wanting traffic, it bores me. -had enough of shakes. lena, i will never make you cry. will i lead this untouched woman to the next stage? i don't think so. the woman is a traffic free zone. -hey, lena, you've waited so long, it's time for the guns. hey, lena, don't be shy, show us your charms. stylish, man. "traffic free zone" back so soon? -i only had to drop something off quickly. are you training for the next game? you're going to get thrashed anyway. yes. bye! -lesbian chat hello, lavazza, this is joy. my god! are you dumb? no. -this your first time alone among women? i wanted to try what one could give another. i see, shall i show you? that's why you're here, right? yes. -ok. then lean back in your chair, and tell me what you're wearing. it's really great that we could come here. with me sharing a flat, it could be a bit embarrassing. yeah, no problem. -my father is a lecturer at the uni. won't he come home early? i don't think so. cool. see if there's anything in there you like. -sure. nothing there? excuse me. hi, flin. hey, do you want to come to the lake with me? -no, i can't just now, sorry. need me to help you? no, it's alright. you okay? yeah. -really? is everything alright? well, wish i was having so much fun. want an iced tea? have fun? -what do you really look like, joy? i liked your ad. it was so child like, but also so wicked. i was stoned when i wrote that. really? -you toke? cool. come here! i want you. i have waited so long for you. -i'll be right back. where's the bathroom? don't run away. nick, for you. i'm not here. -she isn't here! thorsten... sorry, but i've reconsidered. i'd rather not. what's that? a cock ring. -surgical steel. isn't it a bit tight? i can't get it up without it. it's gone really blue. what, blue? -fuck, a blood clot. shit! it'll kill me! my god, do something! help me, please! -okay, i'll be right back. okay. calm down, calm down. one, two... here it is! -this is for metal! are you crazy? what if you slip with that? if i do nothing, it'll fall off. although my father does say i'm clumsy. -well, great. go easy, okay? come on! hello, dad. we've been talking about you. -stupid thing. but never mind. i've castrated bulls before, but this is not quite the same. vet. so, now lie there. -relax, relax. everything okay? god! i'm coming! gero! -kristin! it's not what you think. what's that? i only wanted to make you happy. happy? -joy, what are you doing here? what? i'm lavazza. la-what? what we did together was incredible! -i don't know you, i've never seen you before, leave me alone! don't you live here? no, i don't. then you're married and your husband doesn't know about us, right? god, are they all mad? -but, joy! hey! taxi! the physical side can wait! this stupid orgasm shit! -my entire life is in chaos! i don't want it anymore. it's probably a male invention to get us into bed. no more guys. no more sex. -the idea makes me want to puke. i will never have sex. who needs sex! screw guys! perhaps we've all been unlucky. -when i was little, i really wanted a boat. then i was happy. i played with it twice, and it went in the cellar. perhaps i'm simply unlucky. presumably i'm also going to be unhappy with orgasms. -my mother has had many orgasms. but she isn't happy either. i'm sure i've inherited her misfortune. i don't want to live any longer. me neither. -i'll die a virgin. lena, what are you doing? well, before i die, i've got a score to settle with schädel. what's that? viagra! -perhaps we should go to the party tonight. i mean, it's what we planned to do, after all. beer, please. okay, my plan for tonight: i'll stay out of the way and get pissed, unless i bump into chayenne. -schädel. hi, schädel. hi, lena. you alright? super, and you? -cool, thanks. i've got something for you. white dollars, cool. how much are they? nothing, they're a free sample. -but watch out. they're strong, so just take one. that's alright. but only if you can take it. yeah, sure, obviously. -cool, thanks, i needed that. don't mention it. great joke. girls, listen. would you like to fuck with me? -do you wanna perhaps... nah, nah.... come off it, what's up with the fucking thing? come on. what are you doing? -what do you think i'm doing, growing carrots? i've drunk 3 litres of beer, i'm busting for a piss, so fuck off! how are you going to manage with that? let me worry about that. come on. -shit! shit! nick's coming. hey, have you seen lena? no, why? -wasn't she standing there just now? nah, you must have been mistaken. can you tell her that... that... oh, it doesn't matter. i don't know if i'll remember that, but i'll tell her. -schädel, what's the problem? no, no. everything's okay. i think that is a problem. hey, keep this between us, okay? -yeah, sure. try doing a handstand. a handstand? hey, listen, schädel's in the bog with a stonking hard-on! it's huge! -you alright? come on, don't leave me in the lurch! i heard that you had a problem. well, i'm going home. good idea. -i'm coming too. lena? have you been here the whole time? yes. did your grandma tell you i'd called? -yes. what now, lena? but we were about to leave. i must go. did he at least apologise? -this song is for a girl who just wants to go. i'm going home. i can't stand this trash. stay here a minute. i've got to go to the toilet. -then i'll go on my own. man... hey, flin. hey. can we talk for a while? -sure. suddenly i want to express a feeling... that i've often had before and that i'm feeling now and... and? the feeling that i like you very much. you're the only boy i want to be with, without an orgasm. -is that supposed to be a compliment? yes. that's love, right? i don't know. to be honest, i thought love would be something else. -what does that mean? that there's more to it? but i ... we understand each other so well. exactly. i'm just a bit worried that we might jeopardise all of that. -okay. you're probably right, that was stupid of me. i'm sorry, i don't know what came over me. see you tomorrow, okay? what are you doing here? -my scooter's broken down. do you know when the next bus is? no idea. i'm going to get a taxi. well, a cable burnt out, and so the modem broke. -therefore nothing worked. i got a new one. i can decode all the chat nicknames. so i went into your chatroom. what? -! decoded my chat name, how? lavazza... no... don't take this the wrong way, but this is all a bit too much for me. -oh, well, come on... joy. are you alright? don't i know you from somewhere? aren't you the one "with the damp trousers"? -i want to drop dead! should i start again? yes, please. can i help you? okay, thanks. -good. here. which way are you going? this way. good. -are we pushing the bikes, or what? this is the fourth bike this year. i made it! i made it! vicky... -hello. are you inken's father? i'm ingrid, vicky's mother. i've heard so much about you. i knew it! -this can't be happening! come on, kids! yes! that's it! translated by marknotgeorge in 2004 -i'm sorry i'm so late. i said i'm sorry. yes... we know. happy birthday, honey! thank you. -all the best. thanks. cool. look... i need to show you something. -wait a minute... tim gave me this. did he leave the receipt in the bag? thank you. this is from all of us. -we women can have three orgasms, while men come only once. i was at the panda the other day with tom, and i almost went crazy. panda sex... it makes the kama sutra look like beginner's gymnastics. hello, chayenne. hey. -hi. i hear it's your birthday. yes. best wishes. thanks. -i'm sorry... what's your name again? inken. right, inken. i can't seem to remember that. well, are you ready for the game? -don't you face elimination? yes... but we still have two games left. sorry, but we won't spot you any points. i want to see you girls sweat. laura, go deeper, get your head in the game. -kasten, do you have your girls get to play? yes, logo. that's fantastic. let's go! that doesn't matter. -no problem... settle down! say, have you been working out? me? nope. it shows. -i love you... is everything okay? i guess so... but i think i'd rather sleep. man, was that ever a mess. and the finals are in a week. -are you coming to the party? i don't i ought to. no wonder that chayenne has so much energy. she comes three times during sex! i really don't understand it. -i'm looking forward to the our finals. god. do you think we can bribe someone? i don't think even chayenne fucks the principal. super. -i think i'll grab a shower. here. thanks. wait a minute. before i forget, i have a gift from my mother. -hopefully this is not another video. yeah... i'm afraid so. as i sat with my mother on her deathbed she regretted that she never had an orgasm in her life... i took her in my arms and we both wept. -my life changed after my first orgasm. i redecorated my apartment, and i've mastered my exams. so... for a moment, time stands still, and it feels like flying. it's like pure energy is pumping through your veins. when the orgasm reached its peak, i fainted for a moment. -it's like a miracle. i was briefly in nirvana. yes, but ... those women were all over thirty. yeah... right before they begin to sag. well i don't have any sagging breasts. -women age faster. really? in a week summer vacation is over and tim will be gone, and we'll have done nothing. i still need my first boyfriend. man, what an asshole! -yeah... men! does a person need to have a lot of sex before you have an orgasm? it requires having the right technique! so you've had one? -of course i have. and it leaves you full of energy? oh... actually i'm pretty exhausted afterwards. hi. mom. let me talk to inken. -inken? it's for you. happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... happy birthday, dear inken, happy birthday to you. well... did vicky play the video? yes. -thank you very much... it was really interesting. vicky said your boyfriend isn't able to give you an orgasm. well, well, i, er... stop! -no "i, er..."! don't fall into the old role, and make yourself responsible for sexual gratification. remember, it is the first man who sets the course for the future. sure. i understand, so i think he ... has indeed ... -mom... i'm sorry, we are going to be late. thanks for calling. love you. bye. -later... why did you go and tell your mother that tim... that he... that loser? tim can be so sweet. have you had an orgasm? -no. of course not, because tim is a loser. stop, that's my house! well, this ought to be interesting. man, my panties got up my crack. -shall i help you, inken? that might be nice. nice? your panties are like a graveyard. is way cool that you came -i'm so pleased. hey, there you are! happy birthday, inken! good to see you. hello. -we all chipped in to get you a present. ah... a fondue pot? cool... thanks. okay, remember not to lean against the walls, you know about the wallpaper. and use the ashtrays, no bottles on the woodwork, don't and be careful of scratches. -put your things over there. isn't this some great dance music? and the boys from the chillmasters are coming. what masters? the chillmasters, a cool band. -we went to school together, and they're really cool. so take it easy, okay? i have to go. bye... hi! -the chillmasters... but this is really a first-class spread. where are the drinks? these will do the job. here you go, girls. -after all, we aren't here for fun. so then... get yourselves ready. sorry... can you stand up? here... you can sit down again. -who are you? we're with inken. didn't she tell you? no. hi. -hi. happy birthday. thanks. it's also julia's birthday. really? -best wishes. thanks. congratulations to both of you, i'm dirk. hi, mouse. hi. -hey guys, are you old enough to shave? honey, i need to talk with you. see you later. are you leaving already? no, we just want to talk. -well, go ahead, if it isn't too serious. what an ass! who's that? that's dirk. god, i hope no more sixteen-year-olds show up. -but i thought we came in here to talk. afterwards, sweety. hey, i'll be just a second. can you please put this underneath you? okay. -that would be great. until you're finished. hello. well... how's the food? damn! -skull... you asshole! you're not mad because of a little water. fuck off, man! i could suck on your finger. go fuck your mother! -here come the chillmasters! here come the chillmasters! the chillmasters are coming! yes, hit me, baby. who is that? -do you like him? nonsense... i don't even know him. the chillmasters... oh, tim... -what? i have to tell you something. i've never had an orgasm. what? that's terrible. -why haven't you told me before now? i'm telling you now. well, then i'll help you celebrate your birthday by making a special effort just for you. it's the only thing to do. i need to pee. -how about you? not yet. tell me, do you really go to school with vicky? yes... for about eight years. eight years? -well, i may be mistaken... hey, this is my song! hey, could you dance to this? it's only a vacation video taken by my parents. the one on the right. -i think he's really nice. but one shouldn't decide so early in the evening. you just walk over to him. do you really? well... sure. -go. hi. no. i'm going to the bathroom. hi. -i've heard you're the worst driver in the world. how 'bout we go out and maybe fuck a little? if you don't mind if i puke on you. do you mind if i press the pillow over your face when i come? so we won't cry out together. -makes sense. mama? papa? sorry. come on! -give it to me! you fathead! i meant you should press the pillow over your face when i come, not when you come. what? you mean you didn't come yet? -like when? well, since you made that "mmmm" sound. that wasn't an orgasm. didn't you feel anything? there was a warm feeling. -well, that must be it. i think we need to break up. really? look... you're not the first girl i've slept with. have you see vicky? -hey, lena... isn't it time for little girls to be going home? it is getting pretty late. so why don't you leave, skull? sorry, it was only a question. say, have you ever used one of these? -wait a minute, wait a minute. i only wanted to make a bet with you. i'll bet you can't blow up this rubber until it bursts. have you lost your mind? why would i want to do that? -well, it's clear that you're too afraid. you always back down when you're challenged. i refuse to be put on the spot. see... you backed down again. no i didn't. -if you can do it... 2o bucks. but only if you join in on it. sure, that's obvious. it's the only way. okay - go for it. -that little girl is so weird that she's doing this to win a the bet. hey, baby... you should have seen your face! never mind that. i won the bet... so fork over my 20 bucks. you want another 20 bucks? -maybe you'll blow me? skull, you're a real jerk! hey, wait... he's drunk. he's had too much - don't pay any attention to him. -i don't give a damn! he should pay, or he can kiss my ass. he can do whatever he wants. i don't care. i can't find my damned socks. -you always insist i take them off. i'm going to go get a drink now, okay? so that was my birthday, and it was nothing special. but much easier had i not been expecting too much. everything would be easier if one didn't always expect so much. -but i can't. especially not as i get older. you want it from the front or the back? it doesn't matter. well? -two hours of theory, two minutes in practice? come. excuse me. lena? man... what was that? -inken? ah... there you are. say, have you seen lena? no. man... -i'm ready to go home. so... how did it go in there? yes... great. it was totally great, of course. and you? -did you hook up with someone? yes, but... you might say that. yes, i've been so ... so... here you are. still angry? -skull's an ass. he pulled that trick on me once. that was a great end-of-summer party - easily 200 people. but i guess it was also embarrassing. heres' what skull owes you. -i don't care about that now. isn't it funny how everything in life depends on chance? like what? well, everything. think about it, when the evening began, who'd expect to see their father going crazy on the television. -right. too bad that mistake wasn't planned. julia's parents would play well on television. so you passed out a dead faint? there you are. -man... we're ready to go home. are you coming? come on! can i call you? yes... sure. -how can i reach you? dial information... they'll help you. and...? we're in love. what... you two are in love? -i think that it's love. from what i saw nothing happened. didn't he at least kiss you? but, but... what i mean... one shouldn't kiss on the first date. -lena, that's nonsense! i mean, if he doesn't... wait just a minute. if he didn't try to kiss you, then he isn't interested. well... maybe. -have another sip? no thanks. you needn't worry. i'm totally sober. listen, vicky. -please, please, please, please. no, "listen, vicky," got it? that's how my mother starts in on me. i'll be all right. papa? -inken, what are you doing here? i live here. yes... naturally... didn't you plan to stay at vicky's house? so, sleep well... until tomorrow. -until tomorrow. hi. hi. how did you like the party? it was tops. -and you? yeah... great. totally great. are your parents out of town? for a couple of weeks. -where have been all this time? i had to have a talk with tim. is that right? about the sayings on his t-shirts, or what? he's an extraordinary guy with unusual tastes. -i think he's just an ordinary guy with no taste. but that's just a matter of opinion. where are you going now? just hanging out. did he keep his socks on? -no, he did not! funny... i always keep my socks on when i'm having a talk. hello! you must be inka. -inken. yeah, that's it. kristin. aren't you from the modeling agency? that's right. -tell me, has your father really been without a woman for four years? yes. he exploded like a rocket. he sure knows how to handle a woman. may i borrow your towel, inka... ? -sure. everyone has sex. really... any stupid cow can have an orgasm. except me. anyway, it makes sense not to jump into these things. -what do i have to complain about? basically, i'm fine. children are starving in africa. good morning! allow me to serve you. -how are you and tim? we're okay. he treats you well? good. don't you think kristin is really nice? -perhaps you could free up a shelf for her in the bathroom? sure. i'm so angry. i know i've failed. i'm having nightmares about this. -i'll never graduate. my mother will throw me... i'll end up as an unemployed perfume salesperson, burdened with a loser husband. shit! that fucking math... -maybe i should go to bed with him, if i wasn't taught to be so pure. there's no mail for you today, vicky. new bike? i got it for my birthday. only the seat is still a little bit too high. -she needs to take that bike in for an adjustment. hi, mouse... did we have a date? no we don't... i just need to talk with you again, tim. so you came by to thank me. -thank you? yes, of course. about last night. sure... that's a great idea. let me think where to begin... -for the hours of foreplay? for the sexist words on your t-shirts? or for nearly suffocating me under a pillow? no, tim, i can't think of anything for which to thank you . i would like you to know that i've had my first orgasm. -how? with whom? with my bicycle. no... you don't mean to say... yes, tim. -you know what, do what you like... but only with girls with vitamin c deficiency. maybe they'll fall for your crap. so tell me, do you have a problem? no... not now. -inken, i hope you enjoy yourself! i already have. you can't imagine what happened to me... i had an gigantic orgasm! on my new bike. -i didn't want to go home because i was in danger of making up with tim. i'm done with him. you should have seen his face... really? oh... it's you, mrs. lindner. -may i please speak with lena? yes. lena, i think it's your friend inken. the one who just had a gigantic orgasm on her new bike. what? -this is unbelievable. how long did it take? just up and down main street. i told tim i knew about what happened, and he was still expecting to have sex with me. really... he's an idiot! -you should be glad you're rid of him. yes. and you know, some women marry these kind of men and then develop cysts from trying to have multiple orgasms. i think... i think i'm going to come! -i feel something. i feel it creeping up on me... i'm coming! vicky, are you alright? i have a confession. -i've never had one. so i... i finally had an orgasm. never. never before. -but... but you've always... yeah... but that was a lie. and how do you feel? i really don't know. i mean, what kind of woman has her first orgasm on a bike? -my cousin had her first on the horizonal beam in gymnastics. yes, but what's with that? somehow, that's not the same. wait a minute. when i get home, i go straight to the garage or basement workshop. -i have to get away. you know, my wife talks about nothing but sex. i can't go on. it's so vulgar, i can't go on. excuse me. -yes... hi, mom. i'm fine. i need to ask you a question. by bicycle, it can only be clitoral. never vaginal. -for most women, it can only be one or the other. there are some women who can have both in combination. if, for example, you sit on a man with your weight forward and he raises his pelvis and then you squeeze your vaginal muscles... momma, that's more than i need to know. did i answer your question? -thanks. goodbye. hey, now we don't need to be depressed. anyway, this is great. you're the first one of us to have an i had an expresso. -yes, but only clitoral ...expresso. ...and from my bicycle seat. it doesn't do any good worrying. we have make use of this in the locker room. the locker room? -of course! all three of you are having your period at the same time? women who spend a lot of time together have the same cycle. really? i've read that geishas put the condom on with their mouths. -okay? so, children... is everthing well with you? just don't swallow those things. that's an oral masterpiece. compared to this, next year's oral exams will be a no brainer. -i can't. i can't, either. have either of you felt anything?

what will you do to me in 10 years? -i'm going to leave you now. you get out of this house and come back only to take your stuff and disappear forever! i hope that's clear! giulia! giulia, you're exagerating, dam it! -we're having a baby! no, i'm having a baby! you must say "you are", carlo! i'm having a baby, not you! i'd rather bring her up without a father than with a piece of shit like you! -shit! you're joking, aren't you? i'm not joking at all! what the hell! a kiss to another in three years is not so wrong, is it! -it can happen! not to me! don't shout! it does you harm! you must leave. -you must leave. giulia, calm down! you make me sick! you make me sick, understand? you lost me forever! -now open that door and leave! you must leave! giulia! get lost! giulia, where shall i go? -wherever you want. go back to her. you must leave, get lost! giulia.. what are you doing? -i'm not scared of you! what are you doing? you must leave, i asked you one thing, just do it! get lost! fuck off! -fuck off! you asked for that! you asked for that! and when you understand you're wrong, it'll be late! free at last. -she asked for that. i'm free to do what i want again. free not to lie anymore. free to go back to her shamelessly. free to fall in love with her even if she's 18. -free at last. isn't that all i've ever asked for? what happened? can i still come in? no, i want you to leave.. -i decided to get back.. calm down. take some time, think about it. i was forcing myself to do something i don't really want to do. -this is what you're thinking now. i don't want my freedom i can give a meaning to my life only staying with him. without my home, or my habits, i don't know where to go. -he's loved me for 30 years, in his fashion, but he did. maybe it's not the way i wish he loved me, but i want to learn to grow old with him. the rest doesn't matter. hi. -you left without saying goodbye? you're right, sorry. i forgot my door keys. have you seen them? where did i put them? -you look forward to leaving, don't you? you want to go back to her, don't you? please, don't ask, okay? what did i do to you? nothing. -you did nothing wrong. i'm sorry. i've got your keys. you feel like joking? shall i wait for your call? -yes. i'll call you. is paolo in? yes. good. -how are you, madam? bad, really bad. i know. it's a terrible thing. i can imagine that. -no, nobody can. it's terrible. it is.. paolo? a friend of yours is here. -is your father still alive? yes, thanks. it's a terrible thing when he dies. stay close to him if you can. sure. -paolo! paolo, would you like some milk and coffee? i don't want anything, i told you. he won't leave you alone.. i went to the car-dealer. -there's another person who wants to buy it, so the dealer asked me what we want to do, what shall i do? shall i sign a check to block the camper? hey! -life goes on! have you already forgotten everything? no. i'll sign you a check. have it insured and take it away. -good. giulia.. giulia! i'm leaving. come back when i'm gone. -giulia, i need to talk to you. giulia, please, it can't end like this. and you tell me? move this foot, please. giulia, i made a mistake. -i felt like a prisoner and i panicked. i made a mistake. giulia! giulia, open up! giulia! -what's happening? nothing, don't worry. giulia! giulia open up! you have our daughter inside you! -maybe i want to lose her! giulia, dam it, don't make me mad! don't even think about that! i can think about anything i want. we aren't married. -we're free and independent as you, bastard, have always wished us. if you try to abort i'll go out of my mind! please do! do you suddenly feel some pride? you know what, carlo? -i feel sorry for you. giulia, i've never stopped loving you, i love you more than ever! it's too late. giulia, please, think about it. i think about it all the time. -move this dam foot! giulia, please.. argh! giulia, later in the day there's paolo's father funeral. see you there? -no! shit, giulia! eternal rest grant unto him, o lord.. and let perpetual light shine upon him.. hail mary.. -why do you want to leave in a haste? you could take some more time, couldn't you? how long? a year at least.. i can't even stand her for another week. -but it's not good for you to go and live with alberto. if you really can't stand her come and stay with us. you need some more time to think. you're not ready to live without your son. if you leave, when you're back he'll be so changed that you'll wonder if he's still your son. -too bad if he doesn't recognise you.. in a way or another i have to solve the situation. but are you leaving her for another woman? i wish! livia is stubborn but intelligent, and charming. -she has to have something good if you loved her.. marco, i need for something new to happen every day, to feel i'm alive. if you've been with someone for a long time, at a certain point you think you've reached a blind alley, but you haven't. actually it's just a different alley. if you understand that, you'll feel unique because you've loved the same person for so long without willing to run away. -if i didn't have her, i wouldn't have a place to go. it would be bad. normality is the true revolution. you did what any of us would do. you met a girl and went out with her. -you wanted to have sex with her and you did. what's wrong with that? nothing. fidelity is a utopia. and now? -"and now" what? how do i deal with all this? the hell with it! giulia! my child! -what happened? he'll hate me only if you help him to think of me as of a bad and superficial father. it's what you are. no, that's what i am now, livia. in six months or a year, i'll be back, and if you want i'll have matteo live with me, so you can leave like i did. -no problem. or maybe in 6 months after we meet again we go back together. who knows.. everything can happen. you know, i can't even hate you. -that's why we're breaking up, livia. we can no longer give each other strong emotions. go to hell. please love, call me.. come on, call me.. -1, 2, 3, now, call me.. francesca? mom can you get out please? get out! hello? -hello, it's me. is it too late? dam it! hello? carlo? -we're transferring your.. hello? this is paolo. what's the time? did i awake you? -well, i must get up early tomorrow. i wanted to tell you i'm leaving. i heard of your father's death. i'm sorry. this time i'm really leaving. -i heard that too. it'll be good for you. yes. listen.. when you're back call me to tell me how it went. -it can be a while.. whenever. call me if you like. why, are there problems with the other guy? more or less.. -hey if you want we can meet right now! you can tell me how things are going, if you like, as in fact i'm at your door. paolo, don't start again. ok, i won't. i said when you come back. -ok, when i come back. have a nice journey. i will. goodnight. goodnight. -hello? this is francesca. who's that? mom it's for me. hang up. -is he still there? he's about to leave. hang up! what happened? his phone's always off. -maybe the battery needs recharging.. don't say bullshit to make me happy. i feel it's over. the more you feel it, the more you call for bad luck. i told you earlier but you don't listen to me. -everything's going to be alright. go to sleep, and it's going to be alright. you'll see him tomorrow, relax. could you call me back? what? -i want to check my phone line and.. sorry, i can't right now, fra'.. goodnight. hello? aren't you excited by the idea of interrupting everything? -everything we did so far.. it's a powerful emotion, isn't it? hello? francesca, breakfast's ready. get out. -what happened? nothing, all's well. get out! go to hell.. i'm asking for temporary retirement. -giulia disappeared! if he gets mad i'll bring him a health certificate. i need some rest. full stop! her phone's been off since yesterday! -maybe she's at her mother's place.. but what do you care? you've always hoped for her to leave you. now that she did, what do you want? hello? -this is carlo. i'm looking for giulia, is she there? yes. don't put her through, if she tries to leave stop her. i'll be right there. -carlo! carlo! carlo! hi.. i know you're busy at this hour, but i couldn't resist. -hi, love. yesterday i bought something for you. i want you to have it. don't you take it? aren't you curious to know what it is? -it's my favourite. yesterday i read a bit of it again and thought of you. i thought of you all day, yesterday. don't you think you ran too fast? i ran to you.. -i'm not that wonderful person you believe i am. why not? because another girl i still love is giving me a baby. that's the truth. you said you had problems and you wanted to leave her.. -i need to stay with her, instead. i'm sorry. that's all. what do you mean "that's all"? you didn't tell me she's pregnant. -all i want is to be happy with her. this is hurting me very much. i thought there could be something beautiful between us. for a moment i believed that too. then what's the problem, love? -try to understand.. what? my place is somewhere else right now. it's nobody's fault, not yours, not mine. that's just how it is. -if you want i will accept for you to stay with her as well. and maybe in time things'll be alright.. nothing's going to be alright if we keep seeing each other. trust me on this. that's how it is. -bye, little baby. forgive me, if you can. don't go away, please, my love. don't say that. you'll make things harder. -please.. carlo! carlo's just called. you didn't tell him i'm here, did you.. this is not the right time for escaping. -you told him! don't get mad.. i asked you not to tell him.. mom, i only asked you for one thing.. you're having a baby.. -yes, i'm having a baby, i am! giulia, these things happen.. he made a mistake, tomorrow you could make one too.. mom, please! i betrayed your father as well.. -these are your problems! but we're still here. enough! my child, life is also made of compromise.. i won't end up like you. -why? how did i end up? have you looked at you? don't be inconsiderate. hello! -it's me! what do you want? only talk! you must leave! go away! -are you happy now? what are we going to do? let him in. wait, let me speak to her again. okay? -okay. honey? honey, can i come in? carlo isn't here, he's with dad. we don't have to get used to their love. -we don't have to get used to their devotion, to monotony, to the fact that their bodies are deformed by age.. can i come in? we don't have to think that marriage is a boring and monotonous thing. you still love him. -i hate him! we don't have to stop listening to them, even when they tell us the same thing again and again. we don't have to stop being attracted to them, or being kind and caring. you couldn't renounce him anyhow. if i want, i can.. -if people have married for thousand years, there has to be a reason. you have to stay with him. think of what made you happy when you two were together, and get ready to take care of your child with him. this is all that matters. do you think you can stay with her forever? -i know you believe that. nothing's going to be the same. you don't know. don't.. come on.. -everything's going to be fine. what name will you give to the baby? we still don't know. when your daughter comes to you and says she's pregnant, one day, if you're still together you'll feel like we did, suddenly old. then you'll wonder if the years you spent together were worth while. -are they? i think so. but it's useless to speak about this, words are like the wind. if you're still together at that point it means you did all you could to be. it won't be easy, this means you'll really wanted it. -this is my wish for the two of you. never stop believing. she's waiting for you. take care of her. ..crying -..and calling you ..if you weren't here, ..close to me, ..with me. it's never going to happen again. -never again. are you sure you just gave her a kiss? yes. if i was a little stronger our relationship would be over. i hate you. -do you understand? think of our daughter. why did you do such a bad thing to me? why? because i was afraid of not being ready for such a big thing. -enough! i don't want to hear you! stop talking then, and let's go back together. it'll be worth while. no! -we have a lot of things to do together. i love you! i love you, i love you, i love you.. we were born to stay together, it's what we used to say. we were wrong! -we weren't! then i was. give me another chance! only one! i'll grow up.. -i'll grow up, my love. how? how will you grow up? if you still want it we can get married. just give me the time for the documents. -i mean it, it's not so to speak. think of our daughter. we can start again, if we want. we'll get married and be happy. you'll see. -you'll see, my love. why can't i hate you? we were born to stay together. you'll see, my love. here i am. -i decided to put an end to teen-age and grow up. and i will. everything is going to change now, this time it will. i'll get a larger house, with a pool, a garage and a nice garden. a porch with flowers and polished doors. -"marx" the dog and "giulia" the boat. i'll have health and life insurance.. the fridge always full not to think i'm poor. an ethnic carpet to keep feeling young, and sunny windows. i'll have my happy family, my healthy kids, and her. -i'll have her, to remind me of all the wonderful things i got. isn't that what i was dreaming of? to our lives! to what we were and what we'll become! that's how it went. -some people leave and some others stay. i chose to stay. i know i'll be a father in a few months. i try to get used to the idea, also because i still haven't realised what it really means. sometimes i think of my 3 friends, -where they are, what they're doing, i like to think i can reach them some day and stay with them for a while. it's a nice thought. that's sveva's hand. she's the most beautiful child i've ever seen. -some say she looks like giulia, maybe that's why i love her so much. she turned 2 two days ago, she's learning to speak, she says "television", "sky", "sun", "belly", "mom" and "dad". giulia is more and more beautiful. -she likes to work out, she goes swimming three times a week and goes jogging every day. maybe it's too much? the thing sveva loves the most is dance strauss with me. she looks me in the eye, then smiles and falls asleep. -i could look at her for hours. i listen to her breathe and try to see myself from the outside, and i don't think my life's bad at all. i don't really need anything. really. is this happiness? -i think it is. # by lyliakar # what are you thinking? at the faces they'll make. you thought she'd be the right one and you went to live together. -then those first times passed, as they always pass. you started to get bored, you began to miss something. but what was it? we have something to tell you. what was it that you started to miss? -we're going to have a baby. this is really wonderful! why are we looking like idiots? we should celebrate! my heart is pounding. -we have to drink a toast! wait! don't say anything without me! i knew it. it will be a beautiful experience. -this will be the first big change in your life. i know. won't you say anything, papa? i need a few minutes. say if you're happy. -i'm happy if you're happy.- i'm very happy! she's very happy. then i'm happy too. will you get married? -we don't know yet. we're still thinking about it. we live together, what would it change? it's to safeguard the child. you're separated, but you took care of me. -there's only one bottle of champagne, it's not even cold. what do we care? love, you open it. i'm so clumsy. to you! -and to being grandparents. grandparents? i'll become a grandma too? i never thought of that... last kiss -your cousin's body didn't go back to the way it was. she's built differently. and silvia? she has two kids... she's enormous now. -she gave birth a month ago. only 5 out of 10 get their bodies back. what if you don't like me? i'll always like you. are you sure? -yes. with pounds of cellulite and with insecurity complexes. you're so handsome! how did i ever deserve you? i'm getting ugly. -did you hear what i said? can't you turn off the tv when i talk to you? why? because we never talk. don't start! -something awful happened tonight. i envied my daughter because she still has her whole life ahead of her. her man still looks at her that way. what do you know? you've been moody since i met you. -you're monotonous, repetitious. you too. you don't stimulate me. you talk of stimulation? you haven't looked at me in years. -i stopped looking for something pretty to see. god, i'm so unhappy! i'm so unhappy! the problems start when you go home and there's three of you. she'll be hysterical. -she'll blame you for everything you didn't give her. there are a million things she'll want from you! she'll say you're irresponsible and lack paternal instinct. remember the meeting. ok. -don't ever think this will be a walk in the park. it won't be! i want to leave him. you've said that before. it's a lifetime of waking near him, sleeping with him, yelling at him. -i want to cancel it all! i can do it now! he has to be fed, changed and put back to sleep every 2 hours. how long do you rock him? if he has gas it takes up to an hour. -as soon as you get him to sleep, he's hungry again and you've to start over. you have to be aware that you'll age in six months. and if you ask yourself if there's a way out, the answer will be "no". there is no way out. except if you run away. -dale's coming in may. he asked if he and christopher could stay here. we'll have the baby in may. i'm writing there won't be any room. i go. -will you be late? no, i won't be late. this is for marco's wedding. isn't that a special occasion? it is for me! -how old is he? our age. have they been apart long? almost 6 months. is she with another man? -she had an affair, but it's already over. now she's looking to fall in love. who isn't looking for love? lovers. they don't need to look. -to us! to what we were and what we'll be! and what we won't be! to that bitch, she'll pay for what she did! to all of them who slept around on us and who'll do it again! -fuck off! to your marriage, you're really fucking up! shut up, you have a six month old baby. what if arianna came back and asked you to marry her? i wouldn't marry her! -i'd tell her to fuck herself. we're here, sorry we're late. i was getting acclimated. you see, i brought her! you're the famous... -anna. my pleasure, michele. i've told her everything about you. great ! so if you leave while i'm talking, i'll know why. -i have to go. is this it? yes. you're crazy. for them, the contemporary artist had to separate from the past and immerge themselves in the contemporary world. -that made them exuberant, in continuous evolution. i was born surrounded by paintings. my father was a famous art critic. how's it going with your husband? the boat is in good shape. -it just needs some work. it's a '69 wing. it cuts the water like a knife. you can do the greek coasts and get to istanbul and wherever you want. i'm in no hurry. -doesn't the boat belong to your uncle too? he doesn't care a damn, he'll give it to me if i ask. come on, let's leave together! you're crazy! say it when you're sailing between the sky and sea. -i don't want to be stuck in one place. neither do i. nobody wants to be stuck. wait! so, you've moved house. -i put a daybed in my father's studio. do you like it there? no, separating after 1 8 years... isn't easy for anyone. i can imagine. would you like to have a drink at my place? -let's have a drink and talk. if you'd like to. yes, but i've had too much already. let's go. what about luisa? -tell her i'll take you home. you can see her anytime, who knows when i'll see you again. we're taurus and pisces. a perfect match. to give a sense to life, you have to escape, try everything. -why are we still here? i've decided to go away. you've said that for 1 0 years. this time i'm really doing it. this is so cool! -i don't know if i can do it. it's one of the last pieces of my father's collection. i made you another gin and tonic. my head is spinning. it's just a drop. -why are you looking at me that way? you're very charming. very beautiful. wait! i have some cocaine. -just a little. i've never taken it. i did only once. i found it in my son's room. i told him that i'd throw him out of the house. -in the end i was thrown out. "c'est la vie"! sit here next to me. what would my wife say if she saw me here with you? why don't you try to relax a bit? -i'm an unhappy man. i'm very unhappy being alone. i lost my wife and i'm unable to forget her. what should i do? can you tell me? -you shouldn't be here with me. i don't think you want it either. would you mind taking me home? do you want to leave? if you can't, i'll call a cab. -no cocaine? no! i'm doing something fucking stupid. be calm. nerves steady and have some pride! -jump! think of when you'll be an old shithead wearing slippers. jump! you have to get pissed off, are you pissed? no. -are you pissed? no! three, two, one... what time is it? it's three. -did you have fun? why don't you love me anymore? you didn't have fun. i have the honour of toasting my son and his lovely wife. may you be happy! -speech! ... speech! i'm overwhelmed. bravo! -i want to thank everyone for coming. i dedicate this day to the woman i wanted to marry before i even knew her name. winning her wasn't easy. she thought i was untrustworthy and superficial. she was right! -wrong, she'll never find that to be true! bravo, marco! kiss! kiss! where are you going? -i'll be right back. please, don't cry. what's her name? matteo, he's a boy. what should we tell her? -we'll say something. hi, how are you? fine. i haven't seen you lately. it's crazy we're meeting here. -i'd say so. i was going with them... i've been thinking about you. really? i think i still have your phone number. -maybe we can see each other. i'll see you! yes, i'll be seeing you. i don't remember where i've seen her. he's cute. -i screwed him one night, we were drunk off our faces. i went home and threw up all over. i'd screw him again if i could. hard! arianna, may i speak to you? -you know it hurts him to see you. he won't even notice me with all these people here. why should i keep hiding myself? it's not about hiding. no? -you weren't supposed to come. i changed my mind. he feels bad. he felt bad before he met me. i'm asking you to leave. -you have some nerve! he saw us. your friends are worried about you. they're throwing me out. you weren't supposed to come. -i changed my mind. it's your problem if you can't stand the sight of me. i have to clean up my life, if i don't get rid of your ghost, i can't do it. you are asking too much. why are you such a bitch? -should i kill myself for you? do you want to see me dead? you should never have come. why don't you get him out of here? you hate me, right? -no, i'm just sorry i met you. you're making yourself unbearable ruining what remained between us. it's over. pretend you never met me and start your life over again. calm down! -stop it! you look like a shithead! stop it! let's sit down, who cares about that bitch. go on, laugh. -i want to see you two years from now. he was fine where he was. he looks scared now. come to mama, dear. did papa scare you? -i didn't do anything. yes, you always do. he was fine where he was. i'll come with you. thanks. -how the fuck much longer can i stand this? he's selfish, egocentric, he has all my father's faults. it must be a hard time for him too. it's hard for everyone. we're not kids anymore. -he has to take his responsibilities. it doesn't take much to be close to this munchkin. when he feels safe he's fine, he relaxes. it must be a fabulous experience. it's the best thing in the world. -what are you drinking? what ? i haven't decided yet. have we seen each other somewhere before? why? -i think we have. we've never seen each other before. you're right. i'm francesca. carlo. -have you been to the treehouse? the treehouse? there's a treehouse. would you like to come? it's all about pushing. -they're born sooner if you push right. there are courses you can take. you'd better take them. if you push too hard... like my sister did. -she strained and broke her capillaries. that's awful! isn't this fantastic? it's totally absurd. let's go up. -come on! are you the groom's friend? we went to university together. he, adriano and i, do you know him? are you from florence? -near florence. my parents moved here three years ago. i came with them. this is great! we see everyone and no one sees us. -it's true. do you have a girlfriend? why? just to know. sort of. -having a crisis? yes, a crisis! everyone you ask says they're in a crisis. why? who knows? -crises come and go. is yours coming or going? coming. why? i don't know. -there must be a reason. the passion isn't the same as it was. is that the reason? one of many. it seems normal that passion goes after a while. -it's a bit sad, isn't it? i guess so. what kind of job do you do? i work in advertising. i want to be an actress! -after the high school i'll come to an acting school. what do you study? classical studies. how old are you? 18. -really? you thought i was younger. no, older. how old did you think i was? i don't know. -how old are you? don't ask. twenty seven? almost 30 and it makes me sick. why? -once you're 30, you'll be 40 any minute... hello. yes, i'll come down and we'll go. i'm with three idiots who've wanted to leave for two hours. if you like, maybe we can see each other sometime. -what? would you like that? i would like that. should we go down? whatever you say. -of all my friends, i'm the only one who isn't married. they all say "get married", "have a baby"... for 1 0 years i was with someone who wouldn't let me go out. that nightmare is over now and i'm enjoying my freedom. you're right... -anyway, i'm alberto. do you know where they are? no. would you like my phone number? yes. -do you have a pen? no, i don't. francesca! i'm coming. come and see me at my school. -the ducale high school. i get out at one thirty. alright then. i'll be expecting you. wait. -you're so beautiful. so are you! have you seen carlo? no. if she's with him she's dead. -stay calm. i swear i'll kill her. i told you to stay calm. you'd better watch out, i'm dangerous. lots of men can tell you that. -that doesn't scare me. you don't waste time, do you? you're too beautiful! love! i've been looking for you for an hour, where were you? -i was right here. did you see how beautiful adriano's baby is? we'll have one like that too. aren't you excited? yes. -what are you thinking? of chasing her to tell her how wonderful it was to meet her. remember that you'll be a father and thoughts like this aren't very nice. finally! papa asks about you continuously. -how is he? you'll regret everything you're doing. i won't regret anything. don't raise your voice. go to him. -paolo's here. do you want to say hello? he asked if you've been to the store. tell him you have. i was there, papa. -everything is fine. you're fooling with us. be quiet! why? that's what i've decided. -it's not what he wanted. please! why? i want to start feeling that my life has some sense to it. what do you know! -why are you staring at me? what would you do if i died? i'd buy a nice double breasted black jacket. seriously. would you feel my absence or would you replace me with a younger wife... who'd get along well with your silence? -would you find a woman as boring as you are? you poison the dinner. i've decided to leave you and this time i'll do it right. really? yes. -you can't live without me. and it's not because you're weak, as you like to think. then why is it? because you still love me. i wouldn't be so sure. -you'd live better if you acknowledged it. i've decided. from this moment on, we're no longer together. do you understand? well? -i don't agree. i don't care if you don't agree. it's for me. did you hear what i said? i don't care if you don't agree. -it's me. what do you want? i apologize for today. i don't want to hear it. may i come to see you? -no. why? are you with someone? please... i want to know! -do you want to know if i was making love? ... yes. feel better now? anything else you want to know? -have you lost your voice? no. think twice before you call me. you think of me in bed! you're crazy! -yes, i'm going crazy! i'm leaving. i'm really do it this time. it's a good idea. do you think so? -you can't go on this way. yes i can! don't call me anymore. where did i go wrong? you've been locked in there for 20 minutes. -are you okay? at least answer me! adriano! i'm fine! come out and give me a hand! -the baby is hungry! come out and help me! what should i do? what do you think? come to mama, she'll feed you. -don't ask me to come with you to parties and weddings anymore. he's not going to let us sleep tonight. will you put him to sleep? i'll do it! you don't listen, i don't know why i bother talking. -i've given up on you as a life partner. and he deserved more for a father. really? he deserved more! i have news for you. -what's that? i don't love you anymore! when i wake up next to you i feel anguish. since he was born you've changed. i thought you were better than this. -really? yes. i'm leaving. don't look for me! i won't bother! -get out! if you go out that door i'll be really pissed off. what else is new! your father is an asshole. who is it? -a neighbour. don't say anything. what are you here for? i don't know. months and years will pass by. -maybe you'll always hate me. maybe someday you'll think of me and i'll be here waiting. you've gone crazy. i can't live without you! i love you! -i love you. haven't you ever felt like i feel now? you have to live it to understand. why are you in your underwear? get out. -do you want me to go? yes! okay, i'll go! i go! "during this time, women must take a hard look at their emotions..." -"upsets, and worries. seen from outside, they can seem disproportionate". "speaking of them to someone is a way of exorcizing fears" "or at least not allowing them to become overwhelming". do you understand? -it says you mustn't hold everything inside. what if we bought our own house instead of paying rent? what? don't worry, everything's fine. who is it? -alberto. it's me. who is it? a friend, don't worry... open! -wait! this isn't right. i'll see what he wants and come back. what should i do? wait for me! -it's really over this time. i can't stand her anymore! did you fight again? if we bought a house we'd spend the same as we do in rent. what do you think? -what do i think? i think it makes me anxious. it sounds so... final. we're about to become a family. that's no small matter. -i never thought it was. so what's the problem? we haven't made love in 7 months. i even called her "mama" once. it was horrible! -you'd have already broken up if it weren't for the baby. the baby is a fantastic experience! she's the one who took it this way! she's become like every other ball busting mother alive. why? -i don't know. hello. i'm coming to your house! hello. alberto. -who is it? hi, i'm gemma. listen. "remodelled house. parquet floors. 100 square meters. "good location. -double bath. garden". we could get a dog. "parking space, storage. 900 million lire". -god, how much? that's too much! will you come and get me tomorrow? what do you say, love? what? -what happened? give me that joint. this is gemma. i've decided to leave... really? -i'm really doing it this time. what are you doing here at night? did you fight with livia again? i can't stand her anymore. she's a ball buster. -you're unhappy and don't say you're not or i'll have a stroke. leave everything and come with me. you come too! where? you're pirating cd's and screwing someone new everyday. -and you're still missing something! what do you hope to find this way? do you want to find yourself repressed and pathetic at 50? come with me! i don't screw someone new everyday. -it's true. you'd better know it now. he wants to embarrass me. i'll do what i want anyway! great, you've found each other. -i've said it before, but i'm rotting here. i can't stand it. i'll blow up if i stay. we either go now or never again. we're not 20 anymore, but luckily we're not 40 yet. -i have to break out of the anguish of my father's illness, forget that slut and get away from here. that's all! what i am asking for? i'm only asking to leave. are you coming with me? -have you ever wanted to cheat on me? do you have to think about it? no. well? the answer is no. -why not? because i'm in love with you. what if you're ever attracted to someone else? why should i be? it could happen. -maybe to you. i know it won't happen. why? i'm stronger than you. i always have been and always will be. -if i ever find out you've cheated on me, i'll kill you. do you understand? sleep now, love. your eyes are red. goodnight. -goodnight. goodnight. did you do it? marco's beyond help. you're on the edge. -carlo can be saved. when do we leave? as soon as possible. we'll go to turkey. we'll open a school for scuba diving in polynesia or we'll go to patagonia. -we'll do something. he said we're three assholes. better assholes than unhappy. don't think too much or you'll never leave. you'll find yourself a clone of your father at 60 and if you think about what you could have done and didn't, you'll spit in your own face because the good life has passed you by. -how much money do we need? in tanzania you can live... for two years on 1 0 million lire. then we'll decide to come back or not. what should i do, take a leave of absence from work? sure! -you have a house, a bitchy wife and a kid here. you know the only thing you can do... is get out. yes. we just have to decide. -you're all dead inside! fuck off! fuck off! let's tell them all to fuck off and leave. fuck off! -we can do it! fuck off! i have to see eugenio. you haven't in two years. three years. -you need an affair. something with no strings attached. that was the most important affair i had. it was the only one. yes. -i still dream of him sometimes. that must mean something. it's not the taste that makes it different, but the thickness. this is the slogan: "creamy enough to swallow whole". -in two months we'll unveil the queen bar! hi, uncle. where were you? it's been two weeks... i've decided not to come back. -i've really thought about it. i don't want to keep working here. this is your store too! i know! so, what are you saying? -i need to give some sense to my life. some people are born to sell christs and madonnas... are you on drugs? come on. you're so conceited and you're treating me like an imbecile. -i'm no fool. you'll find out someday. ok. your place is here, where your father put you. no, it's not. -i'm talking about duty. this is our living, it's everything we have. it's not enough for me! not enough for you? if your father were well, you would not say this to me. -i'd say it to him. tell him! he can still understand you. you won't do it, do you know why? because you have no balls. -that's why you came to me, but i can't do anything. i can only ask you to be reasonable. you can give me permission to put the boat in the water. i want to go away. i'll pay for the repairs. -i need it for awhile. i want to take it to turkey. your father and i gave our lives for this business. i know how to sail it. you make me so sad. -so do you! really? yes, you make me sad! we have nothing more to say. in fact, do me a favour. -i want you to leave. get out! no boat, huh? what do you have to tell me? we've had an idea. -what's it about? i'll tell you when you return. when are you coming back? i don't know. we have an appointment in half an hour for a sonogram. -i forgot. i told you yesterday too. don't tell me you can't now. hurry. okay. -hi. i was passing by and saw you. so, you weren't coming for me! i would have come to see you soon. i swear it. -do you want a ride? i live very close. i'll take you. i live really closeby. i'll take you! -i'm happy to see you. so am i. where should i go? straight ahead. ok. -had you fun yesterday? weddings always make me sad. why? they're big shows of good intentions. great loves, passions, eternal words, and two years later you're in court. -that's a question of who you meet. stop, we're here. you really are close. i told you so. being disenchanted is awful. -how can you fall in love if you don't think it can last forever? is it yours? yes. "love, hurry up!" sorry, i have to go! -ok. can you come to a party with me tomorrow? it's my friend's 18th birthday. what do you say? what do i say? -then? alright, why not? i'll give you my numbers. what would you do if i were in your place? call me and we'll arrange things. -don't leave me flat. no. what the fuck are you doing here! shit! it's really late. -i'm almost ready. let's go. stop here. how much, please? is our relationship only about sex or do you care a little for me? -i care a little for you. i knew it. does bonetti still teach here? yes, he's in class. when does he get out? -at three thirty. francesca, come and eat. i've called you four times. it's 90% sure it's a girl. a girl! -honey, it's a girl. you have to follow your heart. there are no tactics or strategies. in love it's only destiny that deals the cards. is he cute? -very much. i left the cellphone on. should i answer it? it's giulia. giulia? -mama! it's a girl! she's beautiful! she's fine! it's so wonderful! -what a joy! i'll call papa and tell him! i'll see you later. hello. my daughter is having a girl. -i'm happy to see you. so am i. so many feelings! aren't they too much all together? now that i'm here near you, it's as if we never stopped seeing each other. -you don't know how many times i thought of you. i thought of you too. really? you know it's true. no, i don't know, tell me again. -did you really miss me? yes. my love! i'm so happy to see you! why did you disappear? -let's not talk about it. no, i want to! why did you? you know why! i want you to tell me. -i always thought... that if we stopped seeing each other i'd find a way to save my marriage. did you save it? no, i can't say that. it's water under the bridge! the important thing is that i'm here! -don't you think so? i'm with another woman. is she important? what do you mean important? do you love her? -are you in love with her? we have a baby. he's a year old. you have a year old baby? what should i say? -i'm going to be a grandmother and you have a year old baby. that's life and more, right? does he look like you? i waited so long for you! don't tell me this. -i hoped for months that you'd have the courage to leave him. i tried so hard. you couldn't do it. that's what you wanted. don't you feel anything for me now? -my life has changed. 'cos we haven't seen each other for 3 years? 'cos you are with another woman? 'cos you have a baby? that too. -i'm asking stupid questions. i look pathetic to you, don't i? you know... if we could go back, i'd follow you anywhere. i could leave him now. -i'm much stronger now. it's too late for us. you're saying that because our age difference is evident now. how old is your woman? is she a girl? -are you with a young girl? calm down! sure! i have to calm down! even because... this situation has become pathetic. -goodbye! you have to know that i've loved you all this time. so have i. would you like to make love to me? forget i asked that question. -i'll make a new life. i'll do it, you'll see. goodbye, love! don't move for anything. does it hurt much? -a bit. ready? i'm going! did it hurt a lot? a lot! -is my husband in there with someone? you can't disturb him. i'm still his wife. i can do anything. here we are! -what happened? according to you, nothing? i'm working. come back in 40 minutes when i'm done. i have to talk to you. -can't we talk in 40 minutes? no. she's my wife. don't worry. we have to talk right now. -how scary! i'm actually getting a reaction! you've been drinking! i'm leaving you tonight, dear! i'm leaving forever! -alright. now, leave! i've cheated on you! did you hear what i said? so sorry for the disturbance! -please, wait a moment. what a move! the first time in thirty years! what's this about? it happened 3 years ago. -i saw him again today. if he'd asked me to follow him, i'd have gone without even coming home. i hope this isn't true. too bad for you, it is! what's it feel like? -this is real life! answer me! do you hate me or does this leave you indifferent? do you hear me? you've never done anything to save our marriage. -we'll talk tonight. your job's more urgent than your personal life? exactly! what exactly? you don't know what to say now either! -there is nothing exact in our lives. in all this time you've made me feel so alone! don't raise your voice. that's why i betrayed you. shut up! -he liked me! at least i enjoyed it with him! shut up! that certainly isn't normal for you. no, it's not normal. -no, you're sick. i'm trying to feel alive. you're dead and you don't know it! what did you want? adolescent passion? -a baby with a young husband? what did you want from me? our life wasn't so awful. i still have beautiful memories. you're lucky! -you're burning everything! what are you doing? be quiet. i want to break everything! you're a cactus with thorns. -yes, a cactus with thorns. i don't know what that means, but that's what i think of you. wonderful! then we agree on that too! where do you get out? -hello. i've left your father. what happened? i'm going to luisa's. call me when you like on the cellphone. -i'm happy for you and the baby you're carrying. i'm not jealous of you. mama... the mattress begins to swell and tries to suffocate me. i throw myself out the window and see my husband chasing me. -he says "stop". but i can't stop myself. does it mean that i want to go back to him and i can't? or that i want to leave but i'm afraid? we go through the sahara desert and go into chad, zaire, zambia... -capetown. there we'll decide to go back or go on to australia. capetown to sidney takes only 1 8 days by boat. and to cross all of africa? it can take us 3 months or 3 years. -start to relax. that's the trip's philosophy. i feel like the first time i went away from home. you'll get used to it. this is your last chance to change. -we're only too late after we're dead, remember that! you're right. are we going to travel africa on bicycles? we'll use motorcycles. a good one costs 10 million lire. -that's 30 million for three. we could buy a camper for half of that. fuck, it's her! yes? will you be late? -didn't you say you didn't want me in the house? please, i need to find some peace. when are you coming home? i need some milk too. matteo will be hungry in half an hour. -i'll be there soon. i'll wait for you! wait. bye. who sells these campers? -love, stop! i can't stand going on like this anymore! we have to try to be happy again, you and i. understand? what have you done? -did you get a piercing? yes. are you crazy? don't you like it? i hate it, look at yourself! -how can we ever go back to loving each other again? put this milk away! if you really wanted to, we could be better than before! that piercing looks awful! you look like an asshole! -do you know what? what? i'm really thinking of leaving here. you could introduce me to your friends. we're almost a couple now, right? -i don't know about that. why not? why are you so scared? do you see other girls too? i don't believe that you want to go away. -you want to really leave me? yes... why? we're not happy together anymore. it won't be easy to leave the baby. -this isn't my place anymore. what else can i say to you? are you thinking of me? i'll get a job, i'll find a place to rent. you're getting too old. -my age again! be reasonable! i am! my life has gone to pieces. do i have to give up? -no! was he so important? he was important for me. affairs can happen! papa will understand, right? -do you think it's too late for me to begin my life over? what age would you think i am if i weren't your mother? the age you are. that's not so old! it's not young either. -never a kind word. you've been together forever. you're in a phase where you need each other. don't throw that away. hello. -it's carlo. i'm studying, what about you? i'm at sothens. where? my agency. -what's it called? sothens sothens. i wanted to say, if you like we can get together tonight. the party! should we meet? -i don't know. can you pick me up at home? sure! do you remember where i live? of course! -i'll be waiting! ok. i'll tell giulia i'm out with you. i'm a bad bullshitter. i need to feel alive again. -you understand me! i've never cheated on livia. that's why you're exploding! i can't now. tell him to call me back in 5 minutes. -i have 5 minutes to save your marriage? you worry too much. what's the problem? try to not leave each other. the bad things she says of me, i've thought of her. -you're still in love. i don't know. this is our life, you have better things to think about. you're right. we all have our own lives. -exactly... when will you see her? i don't know. tell her to come home. try to convince her. -what is it, giulia? i've spoken to papa. can i see you? i want to be alone and think a while. there's nothing to think about. -yes, there is. come to my house as soon as you can, alright? as you like. it's important, understand? yes. -i'll see you later. mama! yes? i'm doing this for your own good. how can you know what that is if i don't know myself? -see you later. as you like. bye. it was modified by a crazy guy. he did paris-dakar three times. -he never made the last trip, a stroke killed him. poor guy! 4 bunks, the style is a bit spartan. it's not designed for family travelling. no families. -good. the water tank holds 900 liters. how much? the price i told you. that's too much. -it's a bargain. will it blow up on us? it's done 400,000 kilometers without a single repair. airplanes have been flying overhead all morning! come on, darling! -sit down! hold his hand. you'll feel better soon. don't leave us! your parents are a rare case. -it's hard to find your soul mate! it's once in a lifetime. this is my chance. where are you going? we haven't decided, maybe africa. -will you take me with you? i don't think so. love, are you here? look what i bought! i'm moving to alberto's tomorrow. -it's useless to fool ourselves. did you hear what i said? i don't know if you realize what you're doing. do you know how much he'll miss you? you're his father, you're not just anybody! -you go out every night, don't you want to stay with me? it's not true. as soon as you can you leave me. i have to see adriano. he's leaving his wife, he needs to talk. -will you have dinner with him? yes. will you come back later? i don't know. wait! -did you like the pram? it's great! i told you. are you sure you're okay? sure! -you look nervous. it's because of adriano. don't hide anything from me. do you think i'm hiding things from you? ! -it's my mother. hi. did you come in the car? yes, it's there. come on. -my dress is clinging, you can see everything. i won't look. not until i'm dry! where are we going? straight ahead. -if we haven't made love in so long it's your fault. i think it's your fault! there must be a way out, right? no, there isn't! we don't like each other now! -we were in love once, we're not anymore. we can torture each other for years and what for? it's over! you say no, but it's better for you, for me and for him. he shouldn't grow up with parents who hate each other. -it's better for everyone! that's how it is! hello. yes, he's here. it's marco. -what a nuthouse! what? i said nuthouse! this is mariposa. happy birthday! -that's sara and that's adele. that guy is gone! "your call is being transferred, you may leave a message." carlo, both you and adriano have your phones off. marco called. -i'm going to paolo's, his father died. i hope i see you there. i'm going. what will you do? you know! -why are you being so vague? i'll try to hold out a bit longer. it's not an endurance test! i have to prove to myself that i can do this, maybe i can. i need to believe a bit more in myself. -i'll make it. you'll see! you have to be calm and serene. things will be fine. your mama knows what she's doing. -bye. i found this! mariposa told me she thinks you're so cool! drink! i'm the only one who drank from it. -this is great, let's go! is all of this normal for you? no. i've never felt like this before. i'd do anything for you. -i want to spend my whole life with you. what if i fall in love? what? madam, we have to close. my condolences. -thank you. they're in the hall. thank you for coming. how are you? how will i ever understand what's happened? -it takes time. it's the idea of death that's incomprehensible. the last thing i said to him was bullshit. what should i do now? he knew that you loved him. -where's carlo? he went out with adriano. adriano is inside. really? here she is. -anna! this is virginia. she brought a cake. would you like some? no thanks, i'm going to my room. -see you later. see you later. hi. carlo isn't here! why?

that you were coming to paolo's? -don't involve me in your shit! what shit? what's happened? what shit? please... -why won't you tell me? you should talk to him. what does that mean? you're only hurting yourself, stop asking. i'm hurting myself?

calling him? no! -what the fuck is this? i don't know. yes, you do. do you know her? no! -don't you know her? he only just met her. it's not what you think! shut up! she's just a friend! -i'll kill him! she's just a friend! i feel like i'm ten years younger. do i make you feel that way? do you like feeling that way? -have you decided to make me lose my head? i'll lose mine. can we go to my house? my parents come back tomorrow. i want to sleep with you. -i can't. i have to go back... no ! i'm not in an easy situation. which is? -i can't sleep away from home. don't think that i don't want to... i can't think of anything i'd like to do more right now. what's the problem? what's the problem? -what is it? how's it going? fine. were you sleeping?

here i am! -what happened? bastard! why did you lie to me? ! calm down! -you'll hurt the baby! what were you doing all night? where were you? i was with adriano. i swear i was with him. -you lying bastard! you make me sick! it's him, go on ask him. giulia knows everything! now what happens to the trust i had in you? -and all the dreams we had? i didn't do anything wrong! i want to know who she is. it will never happen again! who is she? -did you cheat on me? tell the truth! tell me! just a kiss! it won't happen again! -you make me sick! who's francesca? stop! did you want to go to bed with her? is she prettier than me? -liar! what am i doing with you? you bastard! we still have so much to do together. we were building a family. -in fact. i'm pregnant and you tell me "in fact"! what will you do to me 10 years from now? i'm leaving you! get out now, come back only for your things. -is that clear? ! you're going too far. we're having a baby. i'm the one having a baby. -i'm pregnant, not you! she's better off with no father than a shit like you! stop kidding! i'm not kidding! i don't think one kiss after 3 years together is so bad! -it can happen. not to me! stop yelling! you'll hurt yourself! you have to leave. -calm down. you make me puke! one time was enough to lose me forever! you have to leave! giulia! -get the hell out! where the fuck can i go? who cares! go to her! giulia! -what the fuck are you doing? you don't scare me! what the fuck! i said leave, now do it! get out! -you wanted this! you wanted this! when you see you're wrong, it'll be too late! suddenly free. that's what she wanted. -free to do what you want. to not tell anymore lies. to fall in love with her, even if she is only 1 8. finally free! isn't that what you've always wanted? -what's happened? may i still come in? no, i want you to leave. i've decided to go back. try to think about it. -i'm doing something that i don't want. that's what you think now! i don't know what to do with my freedom. i feel like my life makes sense only next to him. without my house, my things, i have no place to go. -he's loved me in his own way for 30 years. it wasn't what i wanted, but now i want to grow old with him. hi. i thought you'd gone without saying goodbye. i forgot my house keys. -where did i leave them? where did i leave them? do you want to go back to her? don't ask me anything. what did i do to you? -nothing. i have your keys. do you want to play games? i'll wait for your call. yes, i'll call you! -is paolo at home? come in. how are things, ma'am? awful. it's terrible. -i can imagine. you can't imagine! it's terrible. it's true. your friend is here. -is your father still alive? yes, he's fine. stay close to him while you can. of course. do you want some coffee? -i don't want anything. he won't leave you alone! i went to the car dealers. someone else wants to buy it. what should i do? -put down a deposit? life goes on! have you already forgotten about everything? i'll write you a cheque. insure it and take it home. -i'm leaving. come back later, the house will be empty. please talk to me. things can't end this way. move that foot! -i panicked thinking my life would be over. i made a mistake. is anything wrong? no, nothing's wrong. you have our baby inside of you! -maybe i won't keep it. don't piss me off! don't even think about something like that! i'll think what i please. we're not married. -we're both free. you abort and i'll hurt you. is your male pride acting up? you're pitiful! i never stopped loving you. -it's too late. please. move that foot! giulia! the funeral is later. -will i see you there? grant him eternal rest, lord... why are you rushing to leave? give yourself some time. how long? -a year. i can't stand her another week. staying with alberto isn't good for you. come stay with us. you need time to think. -you're not ready to leave your son behind. if you go, you'll find him so changed. maybe he will not recognize you! i have to resolve the situation. is there another woman? -i wish! livia is a difficult person, but she's intelligent. she's fascinating. you must have loved something about her. i need constant excitement in my life to be able to go on. -when you're together for long you reach a time of stasis, but it's only a different way of going forward. if you can appreciate that, you feel unique. you always love the same person without thinking of escape. if i didn't have her, i'd have no place to go. my life would be less. -normality is the true revolution. you did what any of us would have done. you met a girl and you got laid. there's nothing wrong with that. fidelity is a true utopia. -what now? what now? how do i confront the question? fuck! giulia! -baby... what happened? he'll hate me only if you make him think of me as a superficial father. that's what you are. no, that's what i feel i am. -in six months, a year, i'll be back. i'll take matteo and you can leave. maybe in six months we'll get back together, who knows? i can't even hate you anymore. that's why we're breaking up. -we do not have strong emotions anymore. fuck you! please love, call me, call me... call me... francesca. -mama, please get out! hello. it's me. am i bothering you? god damned son of a bitch! -hello, carlo? hello. it's paolo. what time is it? did i wake you? -no, but i have to get up early. i'm leaving. i'm sorry about your father. i'm really going this time. it will be good for you. -right, good for me! call me when you get back so you can tell me about it. that may be a long time. it will be when it will be. are you in a crisis with him? -well... we can see each other right now if you like. i'm here on your street. don't start again. i won't start. -i said when you come back. yeah... have a good trip... goodnight. hello. -it's francesca. who's speaking? mama, it's for me. are you still with him? he's leaving. -what happened? his phone is off. maybe the battery's dead. bullshit. it's over, i can feel it. -you're bringing bad luck on yourself. i told you so. it'll be fine. you'll see him tomorrow... don't worry. -can you call me back? to see if my phone's working... i can't now. sorry. goodnight. -aren't you excited about the idea of breaking loose from everything? it's a strong feeling. francesca, breakfast. get out. what's going on? -nothing! get out! go to hell! i'm asking a leave of absence. giulia's disappeared. -or i'll get a medical certificate. her cellphone is off. what the fuck do you care? you always wanted her to leave! hello. -it's carlo, is giulia there? yes. i'll be right there. i know i'm being a pain in the ass, but i had to come. hi, love. -i bought something for you. won't you take it? don't you want to know what it is? it's my favorite. i reread a passage and thought of you. -i thought about you all day yesterday. aren't you running too fast? i was running after you. i'm not the exceptional person you think i am. why? -i'm having a baby with a woman i still love very much. it's true. you told me you wanted to leave her. the truth is that i need to be with her. i'm sorry. -there's nothing else to say. you didn't tell me she was having a baby. i want to be happy with her. we could have had something beautiful! i thought so too. -then what's the problem? try to understand. what? my place is somewhere else now. it's not your fault or mine. -stay with her, i'll accept that. then maybe things will fall into place. nothing will fall into place if we keep seeing each other. trust me, that's how it is. goodbye, baby... -forgive me if you can. don't go, love. don't pull me... it just makes it harder, please. carlo called before. -you didn't tell him i'm here, did you? it's not the time to run away. you told him! don't be angry. i asked you not to tell him anything! -you're expecting a baby. i'm the one who's expecting! things happen. please... i cheated on your father too. -that's your shit! we're still together. stop it! love, life is also made of compromises. i won't end up like you. -why? how did i end up? have you seen yourself? don't be foolish. hello. -it's me. what the fuck do you want? to talk. get out of here! leave! -are you happy? what should we do? let him in. wait, let me speak to her again. ok. -love, open up. carlo's not here, he's inside with papa. we shouldn't take for granted the love they feel for us, little ways they care for us, or a life that seems always the same, or the bodies that fall apart with age. open the door. -we mustn't think that married life becomes monotonous. you're still in love with him. i hate him. we have to listen even when they repeat the same things. we mustn't stop finding them attractive or being considerate. -you really aren't able to let him go. if i want to, i can. if people have been marrying for thousands of years there's a reason. your way is with him now. you have to get back the things that made you happy. -and take care of your daughter with him. that's the only thing that counts now. do you think you can stay with her for a lifetime? i know that's what you think. it will never be like it was. -you can't know that. it will be fine... what will you name her? we haven't decided yet. when your daughter is grown and tells you she's pregnant, you'll be in our shoes and you'll suddenly feel old. -you'll ask if it was worth the trouble to spend all those years together. will it be worth the trouble? i think so. at any rate, talking is useless. if you're still together it means you've found the way to do it and as it's never easy, it means you believed you could. -i hope you never stop believing. she's waiting in her room. take care of her. "... crying calling you" -"as if you weren't here next to me" "with me." it will never happen again, never in my life. was it only a kiss? yes. -if i were stronger, i'd end this right here. i hate you. do you know how i hate you? think of our daughter. why did you do something so awful to me? -because i was scared i wasn't ready for something so big. stop it! let's stop talking and just be together, it's worth the trouble. we still have so much to do together. i love you, i love you... -we're made for each other, we've always said that! we were wrong. we weren't wrong! i was wrong. give me another chance. -you'll see, i'll grow up, love... how the fuck will you ever grow up? we can marry if you still want to. we'll marry as soon as we get the papers. i really mean it. -think of our daughter. we can begin again, we just have to want it. we'll marry and we'll be happy, you'll see, love... why can't i hate you? we were made to be together. -you'll see, love... now decide that your eternal adolescence is over. it's time to grow up... and you will grow up! everything changes. -and this time things will change. you'll have a bigger house, a pool, a garage, a nice lawn, flowers on the patio and fancy doors. you'll name the dog marx and the boat giulia. you'll have health insurance, life insurance, a full fridge so you won't ever feel poor, a hand woven rug so you'll still feel young. you'll have your happy family. -your healthy children, and you'll have her, who'll always remind you of it all. isn't that what you've always dreamed of? to our lives! to what we were and what we will be! some of us left and some of us stayed. -i decided to stay. i keep telling myself i'll be a father soon. i try to be confident because i still don't really know what that means. sometimes i wonder where those three are, what they're doing. i like to think that someday i'll join them and stay with them for a while. -that makes me feel good. the hand you see belongs to sveva, the prettiest little girl i've ever seen. they say she looks like giulia. maybe that's why i love her so. she's 1 2 months old. -she's learning to talk. she says: television, sky, sun, tummy, mama and papa. giulia grows more beautiful everyday. she's obsessed with her body. she swims and runs everyday... -what harm can that do? sveva's favorite thing is dancing to strauss with me. first she looks into my eyes, then she laughs... and then she sleeps. i can stare at her for hours. i listen to her breathe and try to see myself from outside. -that's when my life seems rewarding. i'm not lacking for anything. is this happiness? i think it is. joanna! -i'm home! hi. hi. from the very first day i bought the book i only imagined dustin doing the part. when bob benton came on the project we agreed he'd be the ideal ted kramer. -we wrote it for dustin from the beginning. it was a brilliant choice on stanley's part. we finished the script. at that time, we had his manager read it, who loved it. he thought dustin would be terrific. -and we couldn't get an answer. i was working and it was a very low point in my working and emotional life because i was getting a divorce. my first one. my only one. none of us think we're gonna get divorced when we get married. -so it was... and i had children involved. and also i was having difficulty in the projects i was involved in. and it was literally at a time when i thought: "i don't wanna make movies anymore. -i wanna go back to the theatre." bob and i flew to meet him. he was in london having come in from bath where they were shooting. i called him on a friday and it was all arranged. he said, "what are you doing here?" i said, "what are you taking about?" -i said, "bob and i are supposed to meet with you." "oh, why don't you meet me 4:00, sunday at the hotel?" i hung up the phone and told benton, "forget it. that doesn't sound like enthusiasm. we're gonna get kissed off." -we went to meet him. and of all the things in my life which define luck, this was it. he was in the lobby waiting for us. that's how much he wanted to get us in and out. i wanted to meet downstairs. -once you have someone come up to your suite you can't get rid of them. it's harder, a longer meeting. i did not want a long meeting. and we walked in the bar and the maître d' said: "i'm sorry, if you'd made reservations, i'd have held a table. -we're full." and he had to invite us up to the suite. on such things hang amazing consequences. so we went upstairs and i started to talk. and stanley started to talk. -as did dustin. and i was candid with them. i said, "i'm in the middle of a divorce." and it's like those few things in life that you think you're prepared for because you've heard a lot of stories you've read a lot, you've seen a lot of movies. until you've been there for the birth of your child or the death of your parent or someone in your family or your own divorce, you haven't been there. -and i said, "what i am experiencing is just so different and so much deeper than what i read of the novel and what i read in your screenplay. it's just... i'm not connecting with it. and because it's something i'm going through i think it would be too painful for me." what got said between all of us and who said it, i don't remember. -i think what got dustin more interested is that he'd be doing the hardest thing for an actor to do: to play himself. which is really hard and requires an extraordinary kind of self-observation and discipline. there are not many actors with the range and the discipline to play themselves. it sounds simple, but it's the hardest thing for an actor. -i think benton, he always smiles and he gave me one of his benton smiles and said: "what would you like to do?" i said, "do you wanna go in a room with me and spend a few months?" i think benton said, "yes." and stanley chimed in. i said, "i'm not looking to rewrite the story of my experience the facts of it, but i think the truth of it." -i moved into the carlyle hotel. bob and dustin would come every day and we'd spend approximately 12 hours or more every day talking about the screenplay, talking about life and trying to find the truth that we could bring to the screenplay. that's how the process started. and it was long. dustin has all these ideas, and they're terrific ideas. -i'd get caught up. then stanley would say, "no, here's what the movie is." and he'd rein us back in. it was almost like group therapy. talking. -knowing that no one would repeat outside what was being said. real revelations made about who the people were. all of which dustin absorbed. that's what he is. he's an absolute sponge. -you walk with him, thinking you're talking to him. you turn around and he's paying attention to some homeless person or something. and he's just absorbing it. i think the spine that was found is what makes divorce so painful is that the love doesn't end. which is what both parties want it to do, if it's a real love. -all those moments of when you first met and looked at each other. i mean, those extraordinary moments which you want to make disappear and repress and get rid of. the realization that they are like freshly cut flowers. and it made everything we did then loaded. it was just loaded. -i love you, billy. it's in the first shot. i mean, she's got the best face of anybody on-screen. there is an inherent intelligence and goodness that comes out of her. and i think the audience responds to that. -there are certain actors, they're like... to watch them work is like watching a battleship sailing into harbour and just move its guns around, and fire off the round and hit the target, put the guns away and move away without... as though ifs effortless. and she can do anything. i mean, she can do anything. -i first heard about it through my agent who knew that i was greedy for work. and i was playing in central park in the taming of the shrew in free shakespeare in central park in new york. and i was shooting woody allen's movie too. but my agent sent me up anyway because i only had two weeks to work on woody's movie and he sent me to stanley jaffe who said: "you know, how do you think you can... -you can't shoot someone else's movie and be in a play and be in our movie. this is a very important movie." i said, "but i just have a little part. i'm just in the beginning and the end. if you can work around it so i can work on woody's movie in the middle." -i was a repertory actress. i worked on many plays at the same time. i thought i could do it. we had a conversation about what qualities we needed in the character of joanna. primarily, she had to be likeable immediately because she was gonna do within the first five minutes the most heinous thing a woman can do: -leave a child behind. and you had to not just write her off at the end when she came back. i think if there's anything that runs through all my work, all my characters it's that i had a relationship with them where i feel i have to defend them. i thought she was a rat in a maze, you know? she had no choice. -sick people don't often have a choice. and i thought she was mentally ill. you know, ill. depressed. sort of out of control. -i'm leaving you. honey, please. i can't hear. what? okay, you too. -thanks a lot. see you tomorrow. did you guys eat? ted, i'm leaving you. ted. -keys. here are my keys. here's my american express, my bloomingdale's card my chequebook. i've taken $2000 out of our savings account. that's what i had when we got married. -a lot of people were making dramatic moves in their lives to find themselves. that was very much an issue. it was in some long, extended way a playing out of what had happened in the '60s when you had this whole flower generation and the idea of "be faithful to your own feelings." is this a joke? here's the cleaning, laundry ticket. -you can pick them both up on saturday. you. you have to pick them up. what's wrong? i paid the rent, the con ed bill, and the phone bill, so- -you really pick your times to... she was married to a man who did not know how to have an intimate relationship. come on. okay? and she was trapped in this and she was frantic. -was she suicidal? she was on the verge of a breakdown for sure as a character. and recognising that and not wanting to be a bad mother she did what the best mother would: she loved her child enough to leave him. just tell me what i did that's so terrible. -it's not you. then what? it's me. it's my fault. all she knew was that her life lay on the other side of the gangplank. -she had to walk, get off that ship. and she didn't know how it was gonna turn out. very often when you look at people that are interior people you don't know why they do anything. they don't explain themselves. a lot of it is that she was locked up inside herself. -but i knew i had the chance to come back at the end and explain who this terribly imploded person was. he's better off without me. joanna, please. and i don't love you anymore-. where are you going? -i don't know. there are magazine versions of life, and there are real versions of life. and at the time, there wasn't any guy i knew who had a formal job who could've peeled off several hours of the day to be with his kid or be with his family even if his wife continued to be in the marriage and not have suffered in work. the most intense and rewarding part of his life at that point had been his working life. and his family was something he put up with. -he put up with the weekends just to get to monday again... .-.because that's where he was the most alive. where's mommy? what'? where's mommy? what time is it? -the little hands on the 7, the big hand's on the 9. where's mommy? i grew up in a town outside of manhattan where the film was shot. shirley rich was the casting agent on the picture. and she was doing just an overall search for any sort of young boy that age that might fit a physical profile that could be the son of dustin hoffman. -at first glance, i didn't think he was right because leave it to beaver had been on tv recently and i thought he looked too much like a tv kid with the bangs and looked too perfect. i think in my mind's eye, i wanted a real funny-looking kid like i could believe would be my own. but that's not to say my own kids aren't gorgeous. but if a really ugly kid had walked in he would've gotten my vote, i think. we were lucky dustin wanted to be involved. -and he was at many of the readings we did with the kids. justin was the last of the young boys that we tested. and he came out and he started the scene. dustin would improvise. justin would improvise right back. -he'd stay with him in the scene and match dustin in energy which is really hard for a young kid to do. there was this magical moment when justin sat next to me and he got very close. we were talking and improvising and the camera was there. at some point, he just put his hand on my leg. and it was so familiar. -it just felt like, the way one of my kids was... when kids sometimes touch a parent, they make a kind of contact. it's almost like monkeys. there's a physical-hand on the shoulder or just on the leg. and there was something exquisite in the moment between us. -when we were three-quarters of the way done, boy, did i ever yell, "cut." he was the boy. we were in total agreement. i said, "that's my kid" i guess to myself, and i think they felt the same thing. "that's my kid." -dustin said it best. he was the hardest actor that he'd worked with in his entire career. there was no such thing as dishonesty. everything was honest. justin was astounding. -he's the best child actor i've seen. i think you forgot milk. i didn't. milk comes last. when you're having a good time you forget things. -i just wanted to see if you're paying attention. fun, isn't it? when's the last time mommy let you in the kitchen? i don't like it in pieces. it tastes the same whether it's in pieces or whole. -bread is bread. besides, french toast is always folded. in the best restaurants, you see folded french toast. you get more bites that way. the french toast scene was just some awesome acting by dustin hoffman. -we ran through that scene and when they rolled it was a completely different thing. that whole thing of folding it up, dipping it, "okay?" that's all improvised. i can't remember if getting burned at the end was improvised or bob had written it or it was in the book. but we still found ways to improvise the moment. -daddy, it's burning! what'? it's burning! damn it! goddamn her! -oh, shit. when he kicks that and drops the pan he really gets to the heart of the matter. it just blew... it was like, "wow." this is what it's all about, you know? -this is fantastic work. justin would come and we'd tell him what was to happen that day. the script supervisor, renata, would go and run his lines with him. then we would sit there and rehearse. and then he and dustin would run lines and rehearse together. -i said to him at one point, because we took to each other, justin and i. and i said, "justin, you don't talk like that. that sounds like kids on tv in those sitcom shows or something." "okay, dad!" or something like that, you know? whatever. -and he kind of looked at me. he was very bright. and i said, "you know, you're kind of very mature. you don't like play it... " it was like a kid playing a kid, as i remember. i think bob told the parents, and they were shocked, i think: -"please don't let him memorize the lines anymore. don't let him prepare. just bring him in. we'll take care of the rest." we need some detergent. -all right, let's go. no, mommy buys the kind with the orange circles on it. there's no difference. mom said it was the best. dustin gave me an insight into myself. -he helped me understand and mould things that obviously, i didn't know i had but that other people did and a way to channel that. sort of an example: a teacher, a mentor, you know, a friend. he was a very quick learner. he understood very early that we didn't want billy, we wanted justin. -did you bring the chocolate chip ice cream home? yes, i brought the chocolate chip ice cream home and you can't have it until you eat all your dinner... where are you going? get back here now. a lot of things came from dustin. -the ice cream scene, which many think is the empreinter of the film or signature of the film, is great because it's truthful. we all have been in that moment. all are terrified of the frustration that you start to feel. you'd better not do that. you'd better stop right there. -i'm warning you. but that's not in the writing. i remember because that was something my daughter jenna had done to me. i told justin the story while we were sitting there getting ready to do that scene. i said: -"you know what this reminds me of?" and i told him the story about jenna. i said, "she went to the freezer and took it out." he'd say, "what'd she do?" he'd get all excited. and i said, "well, she violated. she took-she ate it." -he said, "i wanna do that." i remember i said, "go ahead." right away you see the cameraman and lighting guy saying: "we're lighting for the table here. we're not lighting for the refrigerator." hey- -did you hear me? now, you listen to me. don't be smart. put that back until you finish your dinner. if you take one bite out of that, you're in trouble. -it was wonderful. we were having fun. he was really doing it. i said, "i gotta talk to bob." bob was in the next room talking with stanley about the schedule. -when dustin had an idea, he says to me: "don't say no until you've heard me out." all i wanted was to say, "no," but i said, "okay." and i just remembered stanley went... and he just... -you know, because this was a re-light. this was another 30, 40 minutes. and then he acquiesced. it was wonderful. irresistible. -it was so much better than what was on the script. it was perfect. i am not going to say it again. i am not... bob liked it. -that's, again, a credit to him... "because a lot of people just wanna shoot what's prepared. it's like making a reservation at a restaurant that you really like. on the way there, you see another place and somebody says, "let's go there." it's pretty tough to get everybody to say, "okay." -it's a restaurant we haven't tried before. and bob said, "okay." i hate you! i hate you back, you little shit! i want my mommy! -i'm all you've got. i want my mommy! yes, there were vignettes that we created that came from truth. and i think that's what made the picture accessible. most people i know try and make the generic picture. -and we try to make the specific picture, thinking: "if it happened to us, it happened to others." it's a different way of making movies, and probably not fashionable now where things are cut together much more quickly. but in the olden days, in the '70s behaviour was interesting to people and very often... i remember dustin screaming, "don't! -don't cut! don't cut!" because the stuff that comes before a take or just after a take sometimes, that's when most purely you live on-screen and most effortlessly the story's told. go to sleep now because it's really late, okay? good night. -sleep tight. don't let the bedbugs bite. see you in the morning light. daddy? yeah? -i love you. i love you too. part and parcel of being with dustin hoffman was improvising. and i had come out of improvisational theatre myself being pan of second city workshop under paul sills in the '60s. so i loved improvisation. -i was very comfortable with it. but i was very glad that benton was there to do the finished product in the writing. jane was special. i mean, it is a small part but she got an academy award nomination for it because she brought such, again, a truthfulness to it. tell me where you were. -well my french professor finally asked me out. when'? the other day. you had a date. the normality of two friends talking about nothing. -it may be my favourite scene in the picture. because it was so honest. just two people who like each other... .-.sitting in a park, watching their kids and talking. that's a great example of a scene partly written, partly improvised. by that time, they knew each other and the characters so well. -they could move the way they wanted to move. the words were just words that were stuff we had to- i remember we just talked a lot, even in between takes. we tried to get into that. "so how you doing, jane? -how's life? got a boyfriend, anything, whatever? how you doing? what's your longest relationship?" you get into that area. i find out he's married. -he's deep in analysis. he's telling me his life story... wonderful! ...and all i can think of while i sit there is that i'm paying a babysitter $3.25 an hour to listen to his problems. daddy! -daddy, look! take that out of your hand. i'll get him. did you hear me? billy! -i remember that nestor set the shot up so... .-.that i would fall onto a series of mats placed around the jungle gym. and i think the mats were everything from motorhome cushions to sandbags because we're doing the longest fall. which is only like four feet or something like that. movies and insurance, everyone's freaking out. so stanley says, right before we're about to roll: -"let's put a perimeter of people around in case something happens." sure enough, i missed the cushions. i think stanley was the one who bounced me back towards the cushions. and then we set up for justin just to be lying there in the veritable fake blood. and he knows he's gotta cry. -it's the first time he had to cry in the movie. and he's like any actor: "my god, what am i gonna do?" i've told this to friends. they look at me like i'm brutal. -they say, "oh, my god. how could you do that to a kid?" but you had to have been there to understand this relationship. and i just started talking to him about how much i love working with him and how much the crew loved him. he didn't know at this point how temporary the relationship is with a film crew and a cast and that when it's over, it's over. -and sometimes you don't see anyone ever again and sometimes you just see them once in a while. but ifs not ever going to be like this again. and i just was using words like this, because he really enjoyed working. and he just was lying there in this blood and looking up. i said, "you know, you like eddie, eddie brown, the camera guy. -you know, you may not see us, so-and-so there." and he started to fill up, and he was just crying and i said: "you're feeling something now, aren't you?" i bring it up because it was, in a sense, gotten there by improvising. that whole process, i never felt manipulated in any way. -i mean, i was having a ball. and learning how to cry someone suggesting that i think of sad things was great. i thought, "cool, i can make myself do this if i think of this. how neat." but when it was over, he couldn't stop crying. -everyone got a little nervous because he's just a 6-year-old kid. "cut! beautiful, wonderful." and he's still... he's heaving. and i remember picking him up and holding him and i kind of walked with him. -and i said, "are you okay?" he's, "yeah, yeah." i said, "are you sure you're okay?" he said, "yeah" and he's crying. i said, "you really did a good job. did it feel like you did a good job?" he said, "yeah, yeah." -i said, "well, how do you feel about when you do a scene you really cry?" and he went, "i feel terrific!" and it was streaming. and i said, "you're an actor then." i can't see, daddy. -rest your head. watch it! i wrote it as one long massive tracking shot from the moment he comes out of the park until he gets to the hospital. i think it has two cuts in it several cuts, because it's as fast as dustin could run. and he ran again and again and again and again. -that was scary. they tried to explain there were stunt drivers in all these cars. they control everyone in the cars. poor dustin's doing it so many times. and dustin's having to carry a 60, 70 lb. -kid the whole way. that little muffin wasn't that light. justin had a lot of dense muscle. and he was something to carry. but my memory is that i could open the door go in, and that was a cut. -and i could then drop him like a sack of potatoes on the ground. "you're on your own now, justin." okay. that was a big one, huh? they're stitching into a pad on the side of my head. -it looks like the doctor's actually stitching it. and dustin is... we're trying to figure out when to moan the best time for the scene so i don't jump on anyone's lines. we had a system where dustin would squeeze my head when it would be a good time for me to cry. i couldn't see the doctor's hands. -so when the doctor would go in like that... okay. okay, we're almost done there. justin had an enormous natural talent. i mean, 7 years old and he really knew how to do things naturally. -but i do remember one scene, when he was lying on the gurney or he had just fallen in the hospital and we were about to shoot the scene. justin's lying there, looking up at my face, saying: "where's my dustin? where's my darling dustin?" it was so sweet. -we made a deal, right? you take a bath every night and you wash that filthy hair twice a week, right? right? yeah. okay. -dustin was amazing with that little boy. he really was. he set out to make him fall in love with him. did i have to when mommy was here? i don't care what you had to do when mommy... -did i, dad? did i? are you listening? we'll talk about it tonight when i get home, okay? come here, give me a kiss. -hey. what'? you're a terrific kid. that was the critical moment. meryl comes back and says "i want my kid back" right at the moment i've become father/mother. -i want my son. you can't have him. don't get defensive. don't bully me. i'm not getting defensive. -who walked out 15 months ago? i don't care. i'm still his mother. from 3000 miles away. because you sent postcards gives you the right to come back? -i never stopped wanting him. what makes you sure he wants you? what makes you sure he doesn't? that was her scene. all i'm hearing when i'm doing the scene with her is: -"i want billy." we rehearsed it a few times, and it's her scene. i remember saying to benton, "somethings wrong, it's not working." he says, "what is it?" "i don't know." i said, "there's just something..- i'm really angry by the... -i know that i just, i don't... i am really pissed." don't talk to me that way. i anticipated this. do what you have to. -i'll do what i have to. i'm sorry about this. do what you have to do. the shattered glass in the restaurant scene was completely dustin's invention and spontaneity. i think it was an improvised moment. -it was the best of what improvisation can be. to the cameraman i said, "see that glass there on the table?" we talked like convicts in the joint. you don't want the guards to hear you. you know, "see that?" he says, "yeah." -i say, "okay, just tell me if i whack that before i leave... i'm not gonna whack it at the floor, i'm gonna whack it at the brick wall. because i don't wanna hit her." it's not a breakaway, it's a real, you know? "have you got it in the shot?" "just move it a little bit to the left." -so i go back there and he says... i'm looking at him and he's going: nobody knows what we're doing. so he's ready for it. benton knows. -i say, "i want one more, i wanna do something." meryl knows i wanna do something but she doesn't know what. and she's not expecting any of this nonsense. and we do it. it felt wonderful. -and she really... i mean, she's not acting. but, you know, meryl does a lot of... ninety-nine percent of her work's not acting either. so, i mean, she's spontaneous. -but she was very spontaneous here. and i remember she was pissed. i found out much later while we were doing the publicity that he was really... that he was mad at me. and i didn't... -i mean he, dustin, was mad at me, meryl. well, i didn't know that. i still don't know why. i read some of the stuff that came through. he was doing the interviews, saying he was so furious with me, and i was playing a game with him. -just like playing tennis with pete sampras or something you gotta be on your game. i don't know how to play tennis, and i wasn't in a competition. i'm sure i was acting out on her throughout the movie stuff that i was feeling toward the wife that i was divorcing in real life. it was the first time i ever made a movie where i was living through what i was acting. unlike a writer or a painter who gets up in the morning and can exorcize what they're going through. -we get stuff in the mail. so you know, it's quite unusual to be getting a divorce my first and only divorce at the time i'm shooting a movie about a man getting a divorce. people said, "it must be very painful." i said, "it was great." it's like justin saying, "i feel terrific!" -because there was... it was a wonderful feeling. i mean, just show up. just show up and turn the camera on. he transformed his anger into the glass instead of me. -so i guess i should be grateful. dustin has a way of eliciting so many possibilities from you off-camera. he'll throw you for a loop. he'll say something that has nothing to do with the script. but he wants a particular response. -it's almost a directorial approach. there were times i wanted to strangle dustin. i'd say, "lets just get through it. we'll worry about it tomorrow." dustin would say, "no." and he's right. -and you would learn to trust it. you'd argue about it, but that's the rough-and-tumble of making movies. you must allow people to find stuff. as long as it stays within the limits within the boundaries of the picture you believe in. bob benton was a director who really ruined me for everybody that i've worked with subsequently. -because he introduced the "c" word: collaboration. i thought, "this is how everybody works. this is cool." everybody doesn't. -but he made me feel important in the process for somebody who has 15 minutes in the movie. i remember him just tearing his hair sometimes that he'd let us this far into the process. he is a gentle, sweet human being, first of all. that's what makes him a great director. because he knows where to go with something. -and he knows that in order to get actors in moments to achieve something, you can't force it. you can't push something. he never tells anybody, "no." he goes, "that's very interesting." that means, usually, "i think it's the worst idea i've ever heard." -but he's very smart about listening to people and ultimately filtering out what he doesn't like-.. ...and keeping what he does. he doesn't have pride of authorship. if you can make it better, do it. i was working on woody's film at the same time, manhattan and woody would say: -"there's a comma in the middle of that sentence. it's there for a reason. maybe you should just do it the way it's written, okay?" and i was like... "okay! -but i'm working on this other thing and he lets me do what i want." by the end of the movie... no other director said that to me. he says, "i'll give you screen credit. share screenwriting credit with me." -and i, like a fool, said, "no." because i would've had another academy award on my thing. and it was very, typically, generous of bob to say that. "thundering typhoons, what are you doing?" "resting. -it's tiring work, you know." it is a small story. you're with one or two people in the scene. that's what you're focused on. and bob is, in my opinion brilliant at defining what's truthful in those moments. -dustin is brilliant in finding his truth. his fear was he wouldn't find the truth in his testimony. meryl's view was, "where's the truth?" and they were both allowed to play with their testimonies. now, mrs. kramer, would you tell the court how long you were married? -eight years. and would you describe those years as happy? the first two, yes. but after that it became increasingly difficult. i said to meryl, in a moment of euphoria: -"there's this speech i've written in the courtroom. i like the sense of the speech. i like where it begins, i like where it ends. but i feel as though it's a speech written by a man put into the mouth of a woman. would you rewrite it and come back to me with it?" -and 15 minutes later, i forgot i had said it to her. so on the first day of shooting in the courtroom meryl comes in and she says: "i've rewritten the speech you wanted me to write." i suddenly remembered i'd asked her to do it and i thought: "jerk, i'm gonna lose a friend as an actor. -i'm gonna lose a day's work. it's gonna be awful." so i say, "okay, let me look it over." it's all handwritten. it's not even typed out. -and it's too long by about a fourth but it's perfect. billy's only 7 years old. he needs me. i'm not saying he doesn't need his father but i really believe he needs me more. i was his mommy for five and a half years and ted took over that role for 18 months. -and in it, she puts in the thing that makes it a killer speech. but i don't know how anybody can possibly believe that i have less of a stake in mothering that little boy than mr. kramer does. i'm his mother. i'm his mother. that's devastating when she says it. -it's something i'd never have thought to write. i've never been divorced, but friends who have were in that moment when you realise that it's lawyers talking and things always distort. that's when you've divorced, when you've really lost each other. because you can't even speak to each other. and you don't know each other. -so in a way, maybe that's why courtroom dramas are so... because people put their hand on the bible and swear to tell the truth and they tell an intimate truth as well as the one that's gonna get them what they want. something had happened in the shooting that benton had caught. one of the best moments a director has caught in my career as an actor. as a film actor. -thirty-five years, or whatever it is. he caught it. and that is that... this is very personal stuff. but meryl had lost her boyfriend recently before the film. -john cazale, i think that's the way you pronounce it. he had been in godfather and dog day with pacino. and i knew she wasn't over it. i know you never get over these things, but she was not over it. i went over to meryl and i just said something to her. -i don't remember what, but it had something to do with john. i think i asked her to look at me at a certain point. were you a failure at the one most important relationship in your life? were you? ! -no,. and my nod didn't have anything to do with the lines that we call the text. my nod had it to do with that i know she's still feeling the loss of john. because i had said something to her about that. and it was as if something had happened. -benton happened to look over to see what she was looking at off-camera. he saw me go like that. afterwards, he got very nutty and came over and said, "what was that? she went like this and you went like that." i said, "no, we're just..." -he said, "it looked like you were telling her she was good. i wanna reshoot your side. i gotta reshoot it." and, again, that becomes a signature moment in the movie because these two people loved each other. they were fighting over custody and despite themselves, that's what it literally is despite yourself, you're connected. -whatever it was they shared as a dream as a couple they were struggling, starting out. and it went away. there's a terrible tragedy to that. they're forced to listen to one another. they're forced to hear one another. -they're forced to remember they loved one another. that's the pivot on which the narrative shifts that courtroom sequence. and it's vitally important. it is where reconciliation begins. the most important thing was that there was a resolution in the relationship between ted and joanna. -not that they'd reconcile, but things would be okay for them and billy. are you ready? mes'? ted, it's joanna. we shot the end a second time because the way it was articulated initially, she said: -"i couldn't stand people's expressions." it sounds like she came back out of guilt. it was, again, benton who felt this, that it was too abrupt how she just reappeared in the picture and said: "you can have him back." so i thought about what she'd really feel like and what it would really be like to take this boy away from everything. -i came here to take my son home. and i realised he already is home. i love him very much. she is the one who does the final, totally heroic act. she doesn't give up billy, not because she doesn't love him but because she does love him. -i do know that i was really, really pregnant when we shot the final scene. it's a great way for an actress to get a close-up. because they can't shoot down here. how do i look? she looked at me as meryl and she said: -"how do i look?" because she'd just cried in the scene that we shot before. mascara, whatever. and she didn't want it dripping or whatever. and she had been cleaning herself up a little for her last shot on-screen. -and i said, "you look terrific." and benton said, "what? ! what? ! -what'd you say?" i said, "she wants to know if she looks okay for her last shot." and he knew that was the end of the movie. terrific. oh, i don't think that's the end of the story. -i think that they're in process. when you have a child together you can get divorced, but you're in each other's lives all your life. she's on the ship again. they're not living together but they're all going through it, in a way, together. who knows where billy... -i'm sure when he got to be a teenager he was sent right over to his mom's. i was surprised by the success of the film. i knew it was a wonderful story, but i thought it was a small story. and it turned out to touch many, many people. for me, it was a really wonderful experience. -it was wonderful. i went into this not knowing anything and came out on the other side a completely different human being. the response was extraordinary. it was a great ride. because when it happened, to be part of it and to also really care and be friendly with the people who were sharing the experience, was fantastic. -when i saw the film, i came out and stood on the street and everybody said, "wow! wow! who knew that's what benton was doing in his little brain behind the camera as we were shooting?" i was surprised that teenagers went to the movie. i thought it'd be a movie they'd stay away from. -but, in fact either their parents were divorced or their best friends' parents were divorced. and they needed to know it was gonna be all right without being... reducing it... them to platitudes. i think that kramer vs. kramer had an impact on the culture. -i know i've had family court judges tell me... .-.that they used the material on the basis of making decisions in court. someone even went so far as to tell me that it was cited in disputes as often as any legal precedence were. so i think that there was some kind of cultural change that took place. there was this court stenographer who was working as the court stenographer on our movie. i figured they couldn't find an actor who could do it as accurately as this lady who did it in real life. -so i talk to people, and i was talking to her one day in between takes. i said, "ls this what you do? do you do divorces?" she said, "i did them for years, but i burnt out, i couldn't go on. it was just too painful. -i really love what i'm doing now." i said, "what?" she said, "homicides." much better. she looked at me and said, "there's no comparison." she said, "divorce is much... -i don't care how bad the homicide is. it doesn't compare to the pain and stress in the room of a divorce. give me homicide any day." is this the screenplay for your next movie? yes, i have... -i started it this morning and just finished it. i was just going to rewrite it, before you came in unexpectedly and without knocking. it is based on knut hamsun's novel dreamers the international title is something else. that edition is so old it doesn't have the original title. -what kind of a story is it? i only have the screenplay. i need to contact hamsun's heirs to find out if i'm allowed to shoot it or not. it's a romantic melodrama, realistic in style, i guess -of course it's a bit hard to tel as i haven't had the time to read it, seeing as you barged in through the window i tried to concentrate on my work... it's very seldom i get a chance. so it was created in a matter of hours? exactly... -i'm such an impulsive person... but... i've kept hamsun in my mind all these years, because he is one of my favourite writers, and when you get to be my age, your own ideas start to run out or they feel too unimportant, and then it's time to move on to the classics of world history... ...world literature -will there be much talking in this film? yeah, it's gonna be full of revolver dialogue. will it be in colour or black and white? it depends on which film stock is cheaper when we start shooting. the prices vary and lately black and white has been more expensive. -when you produce your own movies, you need to consider trivial-sounding details such as this one. they might seem like artistic choices to the eyes of critics or a possible audience, but are determined by one choice being cheaper by 20 pennies/metre. that's what we go by. which is more important for you? the story or the characters? -i must admit that i just lied to you a little bit. the ideas are born in colour or black and white, i go by the first notion i have on the subject, and that is either in colour or in black and white. the problem is that black-and-white film can't be developed outside of finland nowadays. there are two or three guys in finland who can do it, and they'll only do it on gunpoint. -looking at a movie from the 10s or 20s you and only cry enviously looking at the wonderful stuff they could do then. but, everything being black and white they could do the job. now that everything's in colour, the craft of doing black and white has vanished almost completely. what kind of a person picks up pieces of string on the streets, can't part with anything, keeps hats and stuff his dead friends once wore in one of their roles? -what's the use of an old shower handle? i can understand the squeezers. this is too small. you can use it to permanently terminate your head. a stamp from the previous millennium. -electric wires with their heads cut off. a current that doesn't flow. goethe on his death bed: "more light!" why all this junk? chainsaws... -they belong in texas. hats from movies. french connection. an english tourist. eddie constantine. -all this... this junk. apparently i can't stand the warmth of people and take refuge here, amidst all these items. do you smoke? maybe it's because i agree with ingmar bergman's statement that... an ant society is waiting around the corner, other than that i'm a regular social democrat, holding on to these reminiscences of lost worlds -i found this piece in the next room. what about it? has it been used somewhere? my wife paula oinonen, a professional painter - painted that poster for the movie hamlet liikemaailmassa, -hamlet goes business in english, hamlet boulot business in albanian. and... ever since that poster was made it's been hanging on the wall of my cutting room. because... any humane creature is moved by emotional despair. not me, though. what's its name? -baudelaire. i'm out of coffee - but i'll make some soup. may i kiss your hand? you are fast... the sooner to reach the goal. -do you make many changes to your movies in post-production? post-production is when you eliminate the mistakes made while shooting. there are film-makers who... shoot 10 miles of junk and count on the editor to make it all right. me, being a producer too i do the editing myself and i don't shoot much useless stuff since i can't afford it. as i know i'll have to do the editing myself, the less useless stuff i have the better. -the more the state saves its money, and me, and... yle. so... there's no sense in shooting limitlessly and... thinking something will come out of it. if you don't know what you want when shooting, find a new job. how much? -all. 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79 and 8000. suit yourself. thank you. the night arrives slowly, gushing in. -the windows light up. won't stay alone, all along to the dark, the lights chase the shadows away... just throw in the garlic. thanks. plastique? -plastique, oui. check that out! i've seen many bar desks in my life, this is the one dearest to me. it's been god knows where, i've used it in four or five movies myself, but now i've decided that its home is... here in this hotel and it's getting so old that... it need not move anymore. -one scene had to do with those buttons in the front. i thought i'd do my hitchcock-imitation here, but i don't think it'd work. i was trying to come up... with something to do for the repairmen in drifting clouds. the only idea i got was about that missing button in the front. i told them to go buy sisu-candies from a nearby kiosk. -sisu (=guts) of course signifies how finland beat russia in world war ii. officially lost, practically won. "go buy sisu-pastilles from the kiosk, then we've got pins... we'll come up with something." you can stick a pin in your own finger if you're careless. -then i developed a scene where they put this... the job is done, even if the hue is wrong. but at this stage i got to thinking it's high time... here i return to my objectophilia - it's high time for that bar desk to find its home now it has found one. -no one answers the phone, but it's found a home and besides that's wrong hue, but it has travelled through so many movies, and before i got her who knows where she's been. getting trampled on by golfers. telephone! do you keep all the bar desks from your movies? -hotel oiva, kaurismäki. yes i do. always? one can barely maintain oneself and even that's difficult. sisu-candy helps with that, it is a traditional finnish product, although the factory has been sold to the dutch. -there's nothing truly finnish left anymore. not even sisu? sisu signifies... man's refusal to die. the idea behind eating sisu is refusing to die while being prepared for it. do you think your movies provide sisu to others? -if god exists, one day i will pray to him for one chance. one chance to make one decent film. i'm sure none of what i've done is that. i guess the whole lot is a heap of junk. but it'll be fun to be buried knowing i've done my best. -your movies display a particular fondness... towards the margins of europe, the whole leningrad cowboys meet moses-movie... moves along europe's fringes. ariel begins in lapland. how was this love of europe born? and what does it mean? it's born like a cough, you smoke too much and see too much and then... -if i knew a borderless europe-program, i'd donate four marks to it to promote leisure activities, but... it must be admitted that the so called western world is knowingly and willingly starving people to death because... ..the level of our welfare is such that one half must die. what do you say to that? -i'll just say that for example tatiana looks like it's been put together left-handed in the woods. yet it shows more understanding... of europe than pretty much any other film. ...there's a kind of a real europe in it and you've been searching for it and you have instinctively and... wholeheartedly sought sense in being european. europe's borders are around ural if you roughly consider the faces of peoples and stuff which is ridiculous because we have so to say a common world and goddammit if... -isn't it pathetic, that we're supposed to have a common world, why isn't it a common world then, but it doesn't seem to be with one half starving to death and the other prospering and have a nice trip to hell those who prosper but geographically and genetically europe ends around ural, and in the west it doesn't thank god reach america... if i was for example a tatar or a kurd, i'd know a whole lot about customs i'd been raised with, and a child sees the world -from the environment it is born to. the first tree i saw was a birch, not a stone pine or a spruce, therefore i'm just on my way somewhere. towards my grave... well, being in europe... there's a guy who could answer. -what's europe? jimi hendrix? wine? of course. ice? -yes. one or two? two. ice cubes are more slippery than they used to be. it's interesting that your movies are appreciated so strongly all around europe: -in germany, france, italy, spain, portugal, and particularly because of things that are almost hidden from these viewers. to us finns they contain a whole lot of signs, all kinds of secret passwords from our childhood and adolescence. they've never been told to anyone, they are secret. and that's why the idea of a common europe regarding movies is born dead and the idea of a movie is nowadays born in hollywood, so it is dead, as well. -there's no difference between watching a movie by buñuel or robert parrish or youssef chahine or kurosawa from the 50s. they're all a part of the same international... it doesn't matter, a little ball, it's all the same story. people trying to survive in the world they are born into and there's , if i may curse, not a fox-tail's difference where they are born because the battle for survival is the same. -and movies are usually about it being cold, let's start a fire and warm up and make clothes, and then you get hungry and eat. and that's it and when cinema is really frustrated until it gets sick and mangy, hollywood is born where they vomit trifling stories. you haven't trodden on except for one filming trip - on us territory -it's because hollywood is a symbol to you. i have even shot pictures on us ground, but i haven't taken and won't take a step in california, cross my heart. but that doesn't mean that there haven't been people in california and hollywood, whose work you appreciate. for me, as a viewer, the lack of dialogue in your movies has been a very emotional experience. -it has carried a message, a secret message. there was no talking in juha, because it's a silent film, the last one of the century. in the match factory girl, possibly your finest work, barely 20 words are spoken in the entire duration of the movie. there's something... i can't talk if you don't let me -let me talk, yes i can't talk, in that way i'm an autistic child, you don't let me speak and therefore autistic children don't speak. carry on. i can't continue because it's in my principles that even an autistic child must be able to speak and thus it's your turn. we autistic children... autism is a thing not to be discussed here -but according to my mothers testimony i didn't talk anything during my first five years except a language of my own that no one understood. in that sense maybe... making pictures might be closer to my heart but... i understand very well a child who refuses to talk because if a child watches or hears, the first thing it tells is to run away as fast as you can -but how have you come to the conviction that... almost-silence is the only possible state i'm a bresson-fan. bresson was a wise man in that he never uttered a word. you can't explain things, you can't explain movies. they are made well or badly or horribly or mediocrely or brilliantly, and it's useless to explain them. -sometimes you fail and then you get beaten up and you die and kill yourself or something but there's no explaining that this went so-and-so but really i'm a very talented guy etc. you don't say that in conjunction with cinema. there's so many people at work here, succeed or commit suicide. but to me personally cinema is nothing. fuck, personally, i don't appear personally in this world. -cinema is such that i refuse to back down on that cinema is a form of art. it's a form of art. ladies and gentlemen, if i had a heart, i'd give my heartfelt thanks to perttu gustafsson, who has carried us through many years. -because sakari is famous for his bad memory, he probably can't remember the lyrics to the most beautiful finnish tango, but perttu'll do a bit of the start for him. every day, i go from morning to evening, like waiting for a miracle, and at the edge of the clouds i see my happiness, get it afresh every day, i go from morning to evening, like waiting for a miracle, and at the edge of the clouds i see my happiness, get it afresh. beneath the triumphal arch of love i tried to stay long with you my darling, my friend. -that's why i'm sorrowful, when thinking about you, you took so much beauty along with you. that's why i'm sorrowful, when tomorrow could be so different for me. they parade in front of me in dream images, the moments we once spent together. that's why i'm sorrowful when i think of you, you took so much beauty with you. whore! -take it back. how did you prepare for this role? did you visit a factory to see how they work? yes we started by working in a factory, i actually worked at a conveyor belt, making the matches. -for how long? two days. before the filming? no, during it. i learned each stage and then we shot it. -did you practice a lot before filming? not one bit. aki hates rehearsing. i sometimes go through dialogue with someone at a corner to learn it by heart, and aki always rushes from somewhere: "are you rehearsing? -stop it immediately!" watching kaurismäki films one often gets the feeling that women survive better in life. how do you feel? sure, women do better in them, but i don't know... is it in finland... -maybe it is so. according to statistics men in finland die far younger than women. there's something... i don't know, this could be foolish. i regret to tell you that schumacher and fisichella have spun off in the first curve, while häkkinen has taken the lead. -really? now we shouldn't be happy. wow! that was good news. characters speak oddly in kaurismäki's movies, do you agree that an aki-speak exists? -yes, and i like it. actually... i think aki-speak is such that it has humour and... vocabulary that had disappeared from common use before aki began making movies. yep, i fell in love with aki-speak in the first film, because it was hamlet, and it had no script. the first line, from hamlet's mother gertrude, that i had to memorize, contained such lovely words and for example a description of love... the first line, where the mother tells about the man's love, -that "he liked me like old car tyres", and it was humour to die by, i thought it was lovely... he simplifies everything funnily, disposes of everything unessential in the table, there's not much more than a phone, if even that. it's a kind of a hopperian world, and the colours and the depth and forms are more important than items or small details, and it's always purifying, and i love the rugged environment that brings out the essential things and that's that. aki's point of view. -a visual point of view. he sees well! the purity is what i love. an interesting picture, what about it? malevich's black square. -what about the other side..? now we are entering family history. well, first we were oppressed by communism and capitalism, now just capitalism, nothing's changed except schumacher drove into a ditch. and he got pushed by fisichella instead of it being his own fault. -can movies still today somehow help in this kind of rebellion? jean renoir tried to prevent world war ii with the grand illusion but had to admit that cinema lacks the power to stop wars, because there naturally was precisely one reason behind wwii, and that is money, about which bresson made an excellent film. the war can only be prevented by everybody raising their children in the same spirit, refusing to accept injustice, however small. -if you accept small injustice, you'll begin to overlook larger injustice, and it all ends in a catastrophe. so you think a righteous society is no illusion even today? it is feasible but can't be populated with humans. maybe ants could do it, although they eat eat half of each other, but but i don't think humanity could do it. the mankind wouldn't have survived without the thug-like hunting instinct it had. -not depending on the sum? half. for that you may continue living here. if we get nothing? there's a risk involved in every business. -when are the passports finished? in the morning. i'll begin at once. all right. half. -we need the car in the morning. give me the gun. let's go. i wasn't born poor, there was always food on the table. not rich either, there was food on the table and books in the shelf. -in spite of that i worked all my youth, for example as a warehouse man in this harbour, and then for a while as a... warmer in a hospital and at a paper mill and... as a warehouse man here and i washed dishes in stockholm and so on. 40 professions. three years at a time. i stayed as long as i was interested and the reason i did it was to be able to afford bread. -nothing else. survival. i got to know so many types of human that that they lasted until the end of 80s. the ones i met during the 15 years. now that i have made movies for 22 years -i meet practically no one, so i've lost touch with reality, which for a film director is more serious than death. to lose ones touch. i've never had a lubitsch-touch but a touch of reality. there was a part in prison in ariel. -have you ever been in prison? no, but i regretted it during shooting. it would have helped? it would've helped nothing because it can not be understood. i spent my youth in jail, got into conflict with the authorities. -i was in jail every other night, but prison is different. which movies have you shot in this harbour? at least... let's go from top to bottom... tatiana, -ariel, drifting clouds, maybe hamlet. i can't really remember because i was so industrious in my youth. we want to treat tea since it's our last evening together. -you've been very kind, comrades. you've been nice. this has cemented the fellowship between our two nations. to your health! now i would like to take a souvenir picture of you. -we're closing. hit the road, hicks. can it, creampuff, or i'll clobber you. let's go, you dopes, the boat's leaving! how do we get there? -follow those tracks. good-bye, comrades, and thank you for everything! danke. you ever been abroad, valto? nope -any cash? my wallet's a ruin. some. how come? the first 7 movies i made with the basis that the protagonists were escaping... from finland. -and... then i escaped myself and... gained many years. and after i escaped my protagonists stayed in finland. there's entwined so much of my personal experience of this country that you can't love your fatherland -more than by leaving it. i'm not very keen on cinema. life is very interesting, i'd find it beautiful if people treated each other better. probably fish are fighting it out in the water, eating each other. -but that's battle for survival, it's another thing but people have literature, fish don't. people should know better, let's create a system where people don't eat each other. i haven't seen a sign of it. but nature is beautiful. and, this babbling about how mankind should be better, -i'm coming to the conclusion that humanity must exit. it disrupts nature's development. and it will exit. but let's give the already born a chance to live their lives, then let's go. like i do now. -my friend, although i ask you like this, you know hurrying is unnecessary. nights and days, although i long to you you still mustn't hurry. don't hurry, for you know, it would only bring pain, us together. don't hurry, to me, the shadows would only cover you -you've changed car? yes. i'm sorry, you've waited long? i worried i was too late worried if you'd be gone... -what should we do? we won't have time to go to sunyoo island it'll take... it'd take three hours, at least you're angry, aren't you? -no whose car is this? it's my friend's what happened to yours? we switched cars for the weekend -is it "myung" meaning brightness"? yes, and the "hee" means "yearning" yearning? how do you write it in chinese? "hee" usually means "girl" in women's names -oh, like in "hope"? i'm lee mansup yes, i know how did you know? it was on your medical insurance card -it doesn't have to be sunyoo, right? and their island... 1,000 won received, sir lee daeyeon park myungsin producer : -ko choonggil director/screenplay : park kiryong camels is it because it's the weekend? -so many people... sorae's changed a lot. have you ever been here before? once when i was in college a long time ago... -it was quite then not many people knew about it you must have come by train then yes, by train from suwon this bridge here i think was the railroad if you follow it straight the station was there -sorae station wasn't it? too many people, it's a mess here now yes please enter your pin number -check your amount, please well, does it taste okay? yes help yourself so, your pharmacy do you have a lot of customers? -yes there are a few hospitals nearby these days patients have become used to getting prescription so we get more customers but still, lots of people came without any prescriptions -it's pain even myself i'm not used to getting prescriptions it's annoying right after the government's medical reforms, -i heard it's been tough for the smaller pharmacies right me, too i had to close my own pharmacy after two years you used to run your own pharmacy? -yes, but now i just help out my friend it's not easy anyway but at least, you don't have to bother with management yes, it's less worry but since there are so many patients, we're really busy -after the reforms, we've been computerizing the data we used to give customers whatever amout we had but now it has to match the prescription exactly so we have to be careful and it takes more times sometimes... not often, but sometimes it happens for example i give them one pill not looking just reading the name of the medicine but later i check the prescription, and it says a half or two pills -when that hapepns i just call the patient immediately and re-medicare here, have some yes you can really drink take your time -why did you start studying pharmaceutics? it just happened that way originally i wanted to go to medical school, but my colleage entrances scores were too low then times got hard to in our family and my mom wanted me to go to pharmaceutical school so you failed once? -yes same here really? how are your headache? it's much better than before -but still? if i'm tired or worried about something then it throbs a bit but it's much better now if so, then stop taking medication and... excuse me -hello i didn't hear it ring of course where do you think? i'm in hospital -i don't think i can make it by tomorrow they need a pallbearer here! of course i worked it out with jung-in take taxi just for tomorrow -hello? those nicotine patched they sell... are they effective? those products, they aren't so effective by themselves it's not the medicine it's your will that's most important -you can never quit smoking just by taking medicine seems like psychological factors are more important psychological... yes and if you use it improperly -like, when using the patches smoking tastes bad you should use that as a chance to quit but the thing is... if you keep smoking, then it's really bad for you i keep saying i should reduce my smoking -but i've never really tried it can't be easy cutting down just a little can help your headaches, though once i had a bad flu and for a day or two i didn't quit but... just had one after meals -about a 4,5 a day? but then i felt much healthier sure, that much could help a lot was... the restroom far away? no, it's just right out there -well, excuse me -sure what were you thinking? nothing not so good but there's still sea outside it's not bad, is it? -right some people can travel as their job i envy them me, too i have this friend -he's in real eastate but he doesn't do residences in the city he travels the country buying and selling land since he's always travelling around, he takes his jeep and if he sees someplace nice, he can explore it mountains or whatever -he's got everything in his jeep camping equipment fishing and cooking supplies when he finds a place that he likes, he just sets up a camp fishing, drinking, eating until he gets sick of it then he comes home -are you envious? yeah, first i thought he was a bit crazy but sometimes i envy him for us, everyday's just the same he's not married? he's divorced -what kind of a woman would want such a guy? i have a friend who likes traveling, too she often goes to nepal sounds like a real traveler she doesn't have any special reason but always nepal -she's not married she's a pharmacist, too? yes so she can afford to do that life freely -it seems only an egoist can live like that well, egoism isn't always a bad thing actually if you look at the meaning of the word looking after yourself liking yourself... if you can do that, even if it affects others in some way -i don't think it's so bad in some ways it's enviable it's still alive it was prepared more than an hour ago right from the sea, it sure is fresh -it's hard to find this in seoul i know and expensive only in high-priced japanese restaurants it's a beautiful color -no, don't it's already dead no, it isn't it's not moving because it's alive that's just a reflex action -some more beer? sure another beer, please! you drink a lot, don't you? well, a little -a bit more than the average working man, perhaps but not too much those guys drink a lot do you drink often? not really i have no one to drink with -they say it isn't good to drink alone i only do it sometimes i think i'm getting old when i was younger i couldn't understand people who drink alone -it seemed lonely and it didn't taste as good drinking alone compared to going out, you can't drink half or much but lonely i'm starting to enjoy it a bit how do you eat at the pharmacy? i guess there's no one to take turns with -we usally have meals delivered it's tedious eating inside? yes, it is i'll be 40 soon now how did you feel when you became 40? heavy hearted -in fact, i was really happy when i turned 30 my fellows said they felt sad when turning from the 20s to the 30s but for me, i didn't feel sad only heavy but at the same time it was a different kind than like now like something was filling me up -a heaviness that i could carry within me but when i became 40, it was only the heaviness you wouldn't understand i like getting old i was really happy when i turned 30 -because i thought i could cast off some of my heaviness at the point... that comes from the 20s but still... that's how i felt when i turned 30 but turning 40 didn't have the same happiness -i see we have a lot in common " on the sea of blackness " " there goes a night-boat " " it doesn't even look scared " " floating away and away " -" a little star on the sky " " when it twinkles above " " row a boat with a little oar " " away down the milky way " " if you float down endlessly, " -" where would you stop and lay " " no one to look at or find " " a little night-boat you are " are you a sleep? no -do you want something to eat? shall we order some food? right now? they should have a delivery service shall we? -can you call for deliveries? yes, what do you have? just a minute what... rice? not rice -they have different kinds of noodles... spicy noodles two spicy noodles, please it's covenient here do you like noodles? -yes, all kinds of noodles spicy noodles? yeah when you were in college, did you ever go to shinchon market? yeah, a few times -you know those cheap stands where they sell korean sausage? i used to love the noodles there they were just plain noodles with soy sauce, but they were really delicious want some more? don't you...? -it's too much -that's enough market food always tastes good i remember going there and having drinks in one of those places... back then... we might have passed by each other then could have, without noticing each other -what would it be like if we had met back then? what do you think would've happened? did you have many girlfriends in college? only once was it anything serious did it work out? -of course not how come? it just turned out that way how about you? i also... had a steady boyfriend, -but we broke up my mom objected to him why didn't you stand up to her? well, i'm not good at those things -do you regret it sometimes? for not giving a chance what's the use? all of that's passed but every so often, -it just feels unfair so... did you have an arranged marriage? yeah, my friend introduced us we dated a year before getting married that's like marrying for love -getting introduced or an arranged meeting is the same what about you? me, too we married two months after an arranged meeting hello? -what is it? wrong number, i guess they just hung up go to sleep yes they don't have it -then just get whatever they recommend alright i feel tired all the time yes the headache's probably caused by stress -taking anodyne is probably the fastest treatment you take pain reliever for a headache?

yes camels (end) -i've been wondering something. from the time we learn to speak until the day we die, how many words does the average person say? i mean, we talk and talk and talk, filling up the ozone, secretly hoping that in all those syllables, we've said something worth remembering. deep down, we know the truth. most of what we say is trash. -whoa, whoa, whoa. where do you think you're landing, chief? where do you think you're landing? i need to talk to burr. he busy. -i'll wait. he's never not gonna be busy when it comes to you, snitch. stupid bitch. you're not having much luck getting the brothers to turn against redding. you also said hill was going to kill the old bastard. -don't worry. redding's gonna die... and soon. shakedown! no, no, no. that ain't mine. -bullshit it's not. hey, murph, that's not-- that ain't mine, man. it's definitely not mine. take him to mcmanus. take him away. -it's not-- come on, man. that's not-- sister, look, you know me. i've been clean for over three years. he's not using, tim. -i would stake my reputation on that. if you're not using, then you're selling. no, somebody planted that shit in my pod. why? l-- i don't know. -do the tits belong to white? no! then who are you protecting? nobody! all right. -i'm going to put you back in em city, only with no punishment. this way all your little friends will think that you ratted on them again. mcmanus, put me in the hole. officer. -mcmanus, put me in the fucking hole! you see what i'm saying? redding's the one that put them drugs in your cell. maybe you arranged that. fuck, i don't know who to trust. -it don't matter. redding don't trust you, never will. you only got one choice: grease him. i kill redding, then you take charge. -and i won't forget what you done. well, i haven't forgotten what you've done, jabbering to the cops on me. i told you i'm trying to make that shit up to you. and i told you to leave me the fuck alone. you know, i'm done trying to please you, augustus. -i'm gonna take care of business myself. no, don't. supreme. supreme. i'll kill him. -look, if he's gonna die, i'd rather he die at my hands. i'll make sure it won't hurt. whatever. just do the deed. hardin. -you wanted to see me? you still working bedpan? uh-huh. i need some medical records. poet? -yo, poet? don't be talking to me, snitch. as far as we're concerned, you're a dead man, a ghost. a ghost on wheels. hey, listen, man. -i'm trying to save burr's life. what you talking about, man? supreme allah-- i remember back on the corner he used to be crazy allergic to something. according to his records, it's eggs. yeah, when we be prepping his meals, we got to fix his shit real special. -not today. eat hardy. that bitch burr is still alive, augustus. what's up with that? i got to get close to him, don't i? -i got to get back in his good graces. that's going to take some time. well, you ain't got time. something wrong? oh, shit. -you did this, didn't you? you fucking-- oh! poet told me what you done. i came to thank you and welcome you back into the fold. i accept your thanks. -but i don't want to be back in. i don't want to sell drugs. your choice. i respect that. respect? -i killed a man today. i caused his death to happen. and even though allah was going to hurt you, even though the motherfucker screwed me to this chair, i don't feel good about what i done. well, then, augustus, i raised you right. my daughter's coming today. -says she has something important to tell me. well, when you finish your visit, i need you to perform a task. like i said, i'm here for you. "airhole" morales. what about pancamo? -his time will come, but morales goes first. hey. patricia. so what did you want to tell me? jeez, dad, no "how are you? -how's your mom?" is it bad news? you're not leaving the corps, are you? stop looking so grim. i'm getting married. -married? to max? of course to max. that's wonderful news, sweetheart. i'm so happy for you. -thanks. dad, the thing is... since you won't be there to walk me down the aisle, i was going to ask myron. i know how you feel about him, but he and mom have been married 20 years. l-- i grew up in his house. i've got work detail. -dad, i need your answer. do whatever the fuck you want. the goddamn thing stopped dead. we were able to get the warden out but he wants it fixed pronto. you both work mechanical, so we figured you could take a look. -oh, when i was a kid, i used to work for otis fixing elevators. i know these suckers backwards and forwards. whoa there, otis. were you in the cafeteria when that colored guy bought the farm? supreme allah? -yeah. talk about bugging out. hand me a wrench. life's pretty precarious around here. yeah? -even more so than in nam? the land-mines in oz are even less visible. friends turn on friends, enemies buddy up. i'm not used to that kind of behavior. i like to know who my adversaries are. -get up! get up! be all you can be, babe. when someone dies, we look at the last thing he or she said in hopes of finding a summation of life, a deep truth that those of us above ground can cling to. like the novelist, daniel defoe, -"l do not know which is more difficult, to live well or to die well." in oz, we do neither. jeremiah, the purpose for my visit is-- and i wanted to do this face to face. the board of elders met yesterday and decided to ask you for your resignation as head of the new church of christ. the elders voted unanimously on the day of my conviction that they would stand behind me, -to support me no matter what. i know. but the scandal has severely damaged our fundraising efforts. i want to talk to the elders. how, via satellite? -they can come here to oz. oh, jeremiah, be serious. those old men are not coming here. letter of resignation. sign. -all i'm saying is cloutier thinks he's better than all of us. how do you mean? warden's got us doing physical labor. cloutier's got a cushy job in the requisitions office. we're loading cement, he's pushing a pen. -he should be slaving alongside us. sowing more seeds of discontent? just telling my friends what's what. get up. did i ever mention why he threw me out of the congregation? -not because i threatened someone in the name of the lord, but because i disagreed with him. he tries to silence anyone whose opinions differ. jim, escort this man out. he has the right to finish his thought. all right, let him speak. -excuse me one second. hoyt, you still looking to do the reverend cloutier some harm? why? you want him dead? not... dead, exactly. -looking for this? give me the towel. and so this proves what, that you're stronger than me? in brute strength, maybe, but i got the power of jesus on my side. well, good. -then have the lord jesus get you another towel. when i was 10, my father was a tent revival preacher. he called me up on stage. i was 10 years old. i touched the eyes of a blind man and he was healed. -from that moment on, l-- i was special, famous. everywhere i went, on tv, crowds of people wanting to touch me. wow. that must be something. fame became all that i knew. -penthouses, limousines. when i took the money from my congregation, i didn't even think that i was stealing. it seemed like i was taking what was rightfully mine. listen to me. pride. -pride is the worst sin for it is pride that separates us from god. deliverance comes from jesus. yes, and he has humbled me. in order to win your congregation back, you must show them that you're not their superior, but their equal. how do i do that? -by joining them in their work. "the labor of the righteous tendeth to life." the last three words spoken by jesus were, "lt is finished." now, being the son of god, he probably knew the end was coming and had a chance to consider what to say. the rest of us don't get that luxury. -when death comes, it's a surprise, and we got to improvise. i have to tell you, cloutier, you really impressed me. you really heeded the call. your followers are tickled to death you're helping me build this wall. please, son, i beg you, think about what it is that you're doing. -oh, i've thought about this completely. when the hacks ask where you are, i'll say, "l don't know. maybe the good reverend ascended into heaven." help! help! -help me! they can't help you. nobody's here, remember? and i paid the hacks an extra 200 bucks to take a hike. you're both going to burn in hell for all eternity. -you should have just taken the blow job when i offered it. help! help me! help! help me! -help! the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want. he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake. yea, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil! oh fuck. -hughes? hey, i don't feel too good. fuck! hey, you stupid fucks, listen up! i hereby declare this unit the republic of huhru. -huhru! huhru! huhru! are you fucking crazy? until such time as we can organize free and fair elections, i have assumed command. -you shall henceforth and to wit refer to me as "your excellency." hughes, you're a fucking nut job! for that insubordination, alvarez, you shall remain inside your cell. in fact, until all of you have proven your loyalties to our new republic, and to the principles stated in my manifesto, you shall stay right where you are. hey, open the fucking door! -get a fucking co in here. central, this is gamba kufu, acting president of the republic of huhru. i want to speak to warden leo glynn. hello? yes. -oh, i'll tell him. you better stop this nonsense, and give yourself up right now. and you better stop your yapping, smith, or you're going to find my dick burrowing towards your prostate. clayton, this is leo. you shall refer to me as gamba kufu or your excellency. -clayton-- gamba! how's officer smith? well, that depends on you. listen to me, clayton-- -gamba. clayton! until you begin addressing me with the respect befitting my high office, i am terminating this conversation. do you have the key? on its way. -i want you to unlock the door. i'm going to go in first. i wouldn't recommend that, sir. this isn't heroics, commander. it's good old-fashioned guilt. -hey, your excellency. you seem to have everything under control. only i want to make sure you don't get the rest of us killed and i want to know what your plan is. my plan? yeah. -'cause i remember during the riot a few years ago, said, adebisi and the rest of them, they created a strategy. pender, your experience makes you invaluable to the revolution. i hereby name you my acting vice president. i'm honored. -ready to take the oath of office? i don't think we time for that, 'cause any moment the sort boys are going to burst in here and mow us down. like napoleon back from elba, i shall speak to the men and convince them to join our side. okay, but if that doesn't work, you might want to consider using your hostage as a shield. excellent idea. -yeah. fuck, here they come! hello, leo. welcome to huhru. i've never lied to you, have i? -then i want you to listen carefully to what i say. the thoughts in your mind aren't real. you spent too much time alone. you've created a world in your head. there is no huhru. -your name is clayton hughes. i am gamba kufu. your name is clayton hughes, and you're lost. i want to help you. i remember the day my dad died, i felt this way. -i remember you and me in the hospital. you hugging me. i miss those hugs, leo. will you hug me now? i'll give up if you hug me right now. -all right. it's all right, clayton. it's going to be all right. hey! commander! -go, go! move! oh, fuck! i saved your fucking life, glynn! you owe me! -you owe me! clayton. oh god. clayton-- my god. my plan worked perfectly. -hug me, leo. hug me. hug me, leo. hug me. oh, my god. -not everybody leaves this mortal coil miserable and confused. ethel waters said, "l'm not afraid to die, honey. in fact, i'm kind of looking forward to it. i know that the lord has his arms wrapped around this big, fat sparrow." i'm heading out for the night, unless you need me to do something. -today, i had to call my best friend's widow and inform her that her only child was dead. that he died in my arms the same as his father. i don't ever want to have to make another call like that again. there is one last thing you can do. take a letter. -to martin douglas... commissioner, bureau of prisons. dear martin, i resign as warden of oswald state correctional facility, effective as soon as a replacement can be found. why'd you stop writing? because you don't mean it. -oh, i do, floria. it's time for me to move on, move up, move out. no-- but you do a lot of good here. i do shit! that letter goes out first thing tomorrow. -okay, well, why don't we have dinner? no, that's okay. well, i'm not going to leave you like this. i'm headed over to see clayton's mom. my wife's already there. -we'll sit together, cry, remember the good times and try to make sense out of... what is senseless. good night. any news on how dave brass is doing? he's out of the hospital, but his leg's all fucked up. he's never going to play basketball again. -heard the last game was called off. glynn told me that was your decision. so? what's the difference? i want to take dave brass' place. -what? i want you and i to play the last game together. fuck you! because i turned you down before? that's right! -okay, well, fuck me for that! but listen, tim, you made a believer out of me, man. huh? i was watching. you played balls out with a lot of fucking heart in both those games. -but brass, he was a phenomenal player. i don't think anybody really noticed how good you were playing. and isn't that the whole point of all this? to show the dinks in here that if a guy puts his mind to something-- we can't win. -i know. but if we could hold our own, two average white guys with bad bodies, hanging with vahue. i mean, that would mean something, man. ?

tell the jerk to beat it. -and risk him sliding back? no way. well, then, as the french say, you are up shit's creek sans paddle. for the second straight week, we have a new contestant and a new celebrity. in fact, a man who's been let out of jail especially for the show. -tim mcmanus, welcome. what? holy shit, look at that. motherfucking mcmanus starring up on tv. and i want to introduce our young star today. -he's the other tony soprano, robert iler. robert, thank you... we got to get cable. we are missing out on all the good shit. hey, yo, i hear the women on "sex and the city" are hot, son. -hot i'd fuck that sarah whatever-her-name-is, man. would you guys just shut the fuck up, please? shit. we start off with $10, and the category today, tim, is vocabulary. and the questions is: -what is a "tittle"? i think i know this. i'm going to humor you, i'm going to ask for a hint. did you cover this in sixth-grade english, robert? well, first off, i'm in high school. -and yeah, they did cover this in the third grade. would you like to give him a hint, robert? it comes with crosses on t's. i saw a show where there were discussing "titties," and it wasn't punctuation. -yeah, it's not punctuation. it's a diacritical mark. kid's right. you're a good guy, robert, but i've been around a little longer. a "tittle" is a breast implant. -leave it to mcmanus to go for breasts. no. in fact, it is the dot above an "l." i always knew mcmanus was an idiot. now everybody else does, too. yo, don't be fucking dogging mcmanus out, all right? -oh, i'm sorry, white. i forgot you've been sucking his cock these days. i'm not sucking his cock, faggot. then you must be taking it up the ass. oh. -you mother! oh, shit! motherfucker! motherfucker! central, this is 11. -we've got a 66. get out of here! pedro calderon died. the fuckin' spick came at me. yeah, after you charged guerra! -he was making fun of you! well, the warden wants you in solitary. you said you'd never give up on me. you said you'd never let them take me back. i tried. -i argued as best i could. i lost. i won't fucking survive in solitary, you understand? it's too much dead air, too much dead time! i can't do it! there's nothing i can do. -you fuck. you fuck! you fucking liar! you fucking lied to me! settle down there, white. -you fucking settle down! you motherfucking liar. you fucking lied to me! you fucking, motherfucking, cocksucking liar! you lied to me! -everybody's always fucking lying to me! you said you wouldn't never give up on me. i don't want to go back! let me go! you lied! -okay, you're all done, tim. you should go home. i'll drive you. you know, white was right. i didn't fight you hard enough. -i wanted to lose the argument. i wanted him in solitary. i could tell. how? you didn't stomp out of my office when i wouldn't let you have your way. -i do want him in em city. he already stabbed you, and now he literally kicked the shit out of you. i don't care. let him keep kicking. i lost that basketball game, because i gave up hope. -i won't abandon omar white. i won't. you stay home a few days, and we'll talk after you've had a chance to think. okay, but i'm not going to change my mind, leo, because if i give up on even one of these guys, i might has well just open up a diner somewhere, flip burgers till i die. you know what? i may join you. -in 1955, james dean said to a friend, "my fun days are over." an hour later, his car crashed, and he was dead. a self-fulfilling prophecy, or just bad luck? hey, how'd that go? -i gave the blood. they're taking a sample out of the baby. if the two match, she's my granddaughter. while you were gone, i heard something about beecher. what about beecher? -you know he's up for parole? no. his hearing is scheduled for sometime this week. jesus. rumor is, cocksucker's got a good chance of getting out. -give me that stick. what are we solids? vern, beecher fucked up your parole. don't you think i fucking remember that? if you'd been paroled, maybe your sons would be alive and your granddaughter-- -shut the fuck up! why didn't you tell me? vern... why didn't you fucking mention that you're up for parole? this is not the way to start an interaction. -stay out of this! we're supposed to be totally honest here. officer! on equal goddamn footing. session's over. -all this time, you knew you might be getting out. all right, schillinjer. "schillinger!" god damn it. "schillinger!" -i've been here nine fucking years, you'd think you'd learn how to say my goddamn name! oh christ. he's going to do something to mess up my parole. no, no, no. i will talk to him. -it won't do any good. tobias, i'll talk to him. i'm fucked. hey, buddy. hey, mind if we chow down with you? -you gonna eat that orange? how about this milk, huh? i'm sorry i didn't tell you about the parole. the truth is i don't really believe it's going to happen. oh, it'll happen. -those cocksuckers on the board see a rich boy like you, sobbing his story, their little hearts will melt. look-- you're not going free, bitch. you're not walking out of here and leaving me behind. clean up this fucking mess. -i spoke to schillinger. he said all the right things. he apologized for his outburst. he explained how important the interaction sessions have been for him. well, he's lying. -i know. can you put me in protective custody? well, normally, i would, but the unit's full. well, then put schillinger in solitary. well, he hasn't done anything yet. -and besides, the unit's full. well, fuck, lock down the prison! just for you, beecher? let's get serious. no, you'll stay in your pod. -you'll get your meals there. i'll place an officer outside your door. you'll be fine. why am i not overwhelmed with relief? arif! -those bikers are plotting something. they want to provoke beecher into committing an act of violence, end his chance of parole. yeah. and i'm going to see that he doesn't. -and you're doing this all for beecher? oh yeah, and for salah yudin, and all those other lives the aryans have already destroyed. hoyt said he can't get anywhere near beecher. oh, fuck! when's the hearing? -tomorrow, 11 :00. oh shit. well, well, well, well... if it isn't my old friend james robson. said, i promised the warden there wouldn't be any trouble between us. -officer... you better stay nearby. there might be a hoedown. can i see beecher? how you holding up? -just got to make it through one more night. i've just been very clear with schillinger. any harm comes to you, and he will feel the full wrath of allah. i appreciate that, kareem. assalaam alayka, my brother. -peace be unto you, too. though from what i can see, you're not in a very peaceful place, huh? i struggle, same as you. you know... when i was all screwy about my hand in andrew schillinger's death, you told me to embrace my guilt or it would eat away at me forever. mm-hmm. -it's funny that you haven't taken your own advice regarding adebisi. how many times i got to tell you, tobias? i feel no guilt for killing adebisi. what haunts you is not adebisi's death, but his life. his life force. -haunts me? what are you talking about? i saw your face the moment after you killed him, and a bit of adebisi had bled into you. no. his anger... -his violence... no, you're wrong! your entire life you've kept tight control over your feelings. you denied the adebisi in you, but you can't do it any longer. you got to make him part of you, kareem. -make him a part of you. they're not going to take my sweaty palms as a sign of criminal intent, are they? come on, will you relax? i've been doing these kinds of cases for six years now. i have never been more sure of an outcome in my life. -yeah, well, you've never had tobias beecher as a client before. i got you a present. i didn't have a chance to wrap it. an appointment book. yeah. -mr. beecher? we're ready for you. ds mccoll guv i´m compiling a list of paedophiles living within a 30-mile radius of london. what database are you using? -ens ys. there´s another one in derby that keeps tabs on suspected as well as convicted. i´ll get on it, guv. get hold of the local registrar. see if anyone´s lost a baby recently, illness, cot death, miscarriage... -that gets my vote. i don´t see what a nonce could do with a kid that young. try the adoption agencies, see if anyone´s been refused an application. maybe they wouldn´t take no for an answer. i´ll do that, guv. -good. thanks. well, right, i think that´s it. come on, then. no. -wait a minute. this is a long shot, but it might be worthwhile. call traffic. see if their cameras caught the missing car on monday night. if i´d just abducted a baby and bust the mother on the head, -i might be rattled enough to run a red light or break the speed limit. all right. that´s it. let´s find vicki warwick. theresa, i´ve got to go now. -a detective yeah yeah, she showed me her card, her id. yeah, ok. ok. -sorry. it´s natalie´s mum. she´s a bit anxious. how long have you worked for susan? since vicki was born. -not easy working for two families. oh! it´s no problem as long if the kids don´t hate each other. susan and theresa work for the same firm so it costs them less than two nannies and i make a bit extra. so you got to susan´s house at 7:30. -was that normal time? yeah. i picked natalie up at seven and went right over. we do one week here and the next at susan´s, you know alternate is she gonna be all right? -she´s conscious but she´s still in shock. you used a mobile phone to call us? susan gave it to me to carry in case of emergencies. i moaned about it cos i already had enough to lug around. where did you get this? -susan brought it back from florida. did you know you could be prosecuted for just carrying mace? no. she got me that about a month ago i was supposed to take a photo if anyone dodgy was hanging around when i took the kids to the park. -the film´s blank, except for the shots i took to try it out. what of? vicki. i´ll borrow this. i´ll return it tomorrow with the negatives. -they´re recent photos you see go ahead. thank you for your help. woman who reported it was out walking her dogs. any of the kids in custody? -one. malcolm roberts. ten years old. spends more time in the local nick than he does at school. anyway, his gang found it about eleven this morning, keys still in the ignition. -but he doesn´t drive... no sign of vicki? no, sorry, guv. we´re only five minutes from susan´s. why ditch it here? -maybe they had another car waiting. muddyman. kids like malcolm have their eyes peeled. talk to him again. see if he saw another car parked around here. -guv. she´d had a rotten day a rotten week, really. she couldn´t eat and she wouldn´t settle. i had to take her to the doctor when her first teeth came through. -i finally put... i finally got her to sleep at about half past one. then i went downstairs. not to bed? i had work to do. -i´m... craming for my exams. i´m taking my taxation finals on tuesday. today. i started to read, then i fell asleep. and how long were you asleep? -not long something woke me i went into the hall... when i got near the kitchen, i was grabbed - pulled from behind. -i tried to fight, i tried. then i was thrown against the wall. i don´t remember falling or... can you describe your attacker? susan, anything. -the smallest detail´s absolutely crucial. did you get an impressión of their build or feel what clothes they were wearing? i´m sorry. it´s all right. it´s all right. -if you remember anything later on, just tell maureen. susan i spoke to carolyn today your nanny and she told me you´d given her a camera to carry around. do you remember that? it was about a month ago. -yes. why did you do that? i don´t know. well, has someone been following you and vicki? have you noticed someone watching the house? -well, have you... there was someone. in the park. in fernham park. he had two little girls with him. -he didn´t look dangerous, but... but what? he was clingy. what do you mean, "clingy"? difficult to get rid of. -he kept... putting his hands on vicki´s pushchair and touching her. can you describe him for me? right. hey, where´s mumy? -where´s mumy? hello, mumy! hello! "i don´t want anything to happen to you or vicki. revenge is the last thing..." -how´s she doing? she´s not too happy about the make-up. it´s important she looks healthy. did you explain that? yeah, but it´s bound to feel odd, like tarting yourself up for a rapist. -no joy at the factory, boss. we got clear impressions of the renault tyres but nothing else. shit. all right, well, just put anyone you can on a house-to-house search. maybe they were stupid enough to dump the car on their own doorstep -did you get the photos back from the lab? i´ve been polite, sarcastic and obnoxious. they´ve got a backlog. would have been better off sending them to boots. you up to this? -good. i hope i´m talking to the person who has vicki. i´d give anything to hold my little girl again. i´m very frightened. perhaps you´re frightened too. -i don´t want anything to happen to you or to vicki. revenge is the last thing i want. i don´t want you to be puished you just need help please help us all you me and vicki by contacting the police -the sooneryou call the sooner we can all stop being afraid please bring vicki back please bring bring -i don´t know. how reliable do you think this thing is? run it by the nanny, see if it rings any bells. from traffic, guv. boss. -traffic came through. bugger my boots. what´s this code? the camera location. falloden way. -it´s a stretch of the a1 here, just below the m1. nowhere near where it was abandoned. 3:30, two hours afler susan was attacked. they couldn´t have spent that long in the house. where the hell were they going? -to dump the corpse. or transfer the body somewhere else. shall i call off the house-to-house? no, perhaps they made the drop and didn´t fancy a long walk home. we could get the shot enhanced for a silhouette. -we´ll die of old age before we get that back, but try first thing tomorrow. so... vicki warwick could be anywhere north of london. no. it started to get light around 5:30. -they wouldn´t want to be seen ditching the car. they were caught speeding at 3:30. two hours to get where they were going and come back. less five or ten minutes to drop the baby. if we work out the farthest they could go and get back in 80 minutes, we´ve got our search radius. -but if the second vehicle theory holds good, he could be in scotland by now. i thought you were supposed to be working the nonce records, hm? go on, then. prick. where are you? -kernan. mike, it´s jane. hello jane i saw the appeal you handled it very well i need more help. the service level agreement guarantees me more officers. -you´ve got all the bodies you´re entitled to under sla. if it turns into a murder investigation, i can get you another six men. are they supposed to be pallbearers? you know as well as i do, this kid is probably dead already. no! -no, i do not know that! i need more detectives, mike, i need more uniforms. vicki needs them. i´m sorry. jesus, mike. -you can´t spare six officers to help save a child´s life... but you can spare them to find her killer. go home, get some sleep. give me an update in the morning. you ok, guv? yeah. -where did you say that husband lived? derbyshire. m1? yeah. they searched the place once. -we´ll drive up tomorrow and do it ourselves. local plod are gonna love us. night. night. hello? -hello? do you want to leave a message for susan? mr warwick? mr warwick? hello? -mr warwick? mr warwick sir? there´s no-one upstairs, ma´am. perhaps he´s out with his stock. or perhaps he´s done a runner. -we´ve got two men watching the house. well, the house isn´t gonna run, is it? mr warwick? mr warwick? this is detective constable hawker. -mr warwick? mr warwick? mr warwick! mr warwick! i´m detective superintendent tennison. -what are you doing here? i want to ask you some questions about your daughter. d´you recognise him? he might have had two little girls with him - one dark, one fair - about six or seven years old. no. -you´re positive? who is he? he was seen approaching your wife in fernham park last month. i haven´t been in london for a year, let alone fernham park. why do you live up here? -my father died about 11 months ago somebody has to look afler the place. and you live here alone? you know i do. but you lefl your family because of an affair. -yeah, two of them: me and margaret lacey, susan and her career. you don´t approve of women who take their careers seriously? not if it makes them selfish. -i don´t approve of anyone who turns a career into a fetish. i was an estate agent. i made a pile at it. but it wasn´t an obsessión just as well, since you got fired. -the bottom fell out of the market. and you lived on your wife´s income. yes, but there isn´t a mortgage. she used the money from her father´s will, and i did the deal, a bloody good one. and my money paid for the restorations -i´m gonna fight her for custody. vicki´d have a better life here. i mean, where would you rather grow up? i could look afler her just as well. better. -she wouldn´t have been kidnapped if i´d been with her. yeah, but you weren´t, were you? do you think you´ll be awarded custody of vicki? your chances are rather slim. you´re an unfaithful husband, you lefl the family home, you haven´t seen your daughter in... -that´s only because of susan. she wouldn´t let you? no, but when you fall in love you think, "this is what it´s like? i never knew." the same thing goes for falling in hate. -i couldn´t stand to be near her. you hate your wife? deeply. enough to take vicki? no. -did you pay someone else to take her? no! well, where is she? i don´t know! i wish to christ i did! -didn´t your man turn up? this is ridiculous. i was here all weekend. i told you, i couldn´t possibly... where did you... -how dare you... do you want to read the search warrant? this is a credit card receipt for petrol you bought at the services on the m1 2:30 on sunday aflernoon. you were not here all weekend you were in london why did you lie? were you planning on abducting vicki? -if you don´t talk to us, i´m taking you down to london. cuff him i´m arresting you on i was with margaret. i´m sorry? margaret lacey. -mrs margaret harper as of next friday. she lives in hendon. we were together when... when vicki was taken. oh. -oh, i see. you were sleeping with someone else´s fiancée when your daughter was abducted. is that what you´re trying to tell me? she´s dead, isn´t she? bloody hell. -sorry, mate. yeah, i´ll call you back. yeah. get on the phone and have them blow this up. quick. -they may be slow, but they´re not stupid. get copies run off for the boys out there and then blitz the neighbourhood. eliminate from our enquiries. i don´t want his relatives or mates panicking him. right. -all right, go on. now, the chances are he visits this park on a regular basis. the kids are eating ice creams. check out vans that work the area. someone must know who he is. -christopher edward hughes. born 4th september 1956. december ´85 sentenced to 14 years imprisonment afler the systematic abuse of his seven-year-old stepdaughter. june ´92 six months residential osborne clinic, released on parole december ´92. touchstone avenue. -only half a bloody mile from vicki warwick´s house and a 20-minute walk from the factory where the renault was dumped. gotcha. jane, jane... listen, nobody goes in without a warrant. have you got a warrant? -good. go ahead. go ahead. thanks for your cooperation, mr warwick. we´ll verify his alibi. -if he needs to see his stock, cuff him to a cow. come on. come on. sod it. hey -jesus christ. look at this. bye-bye, annabelle. christopher edward hughes? yeah. -who are you? di muddyman, southampton row police station. cuff him. what´s going on? i´m arresting you on suspición of the abduction of vicki warwick. -that´s bollocks. do you understand? i don´t know anything about the baby. do you understand? ! -yes! they´re just pictures from magazines. pictures of young children. there´s no law against collecting pictures of children. not ones like that, anyway. -and i haven´t had any of the other sort in years. there´s no harm in them. plenty of harm in this, though, christopher. all these children missing, abused, murdered. why´d you take such an interest in them? -look, i was sick, i was screwed up, all right? i went to a clinic when i come out of prison. that´s what they taught me. when you´re sick, like say you´ve got cancer, and then they cure you, you´d still be interested in the disease, different cases, causes, new cures. no cures in here, christopher, just the disease. -you´ve worked at carfit for six months. yeah, bloke i went to school with owns it. he believes in giving people a second chance. but the money´s not up to much, though, is it? sometimes i have to skip a few meals. -what´s that got to do with anything? skip a few meals? 2,000 quid here, christopher. yeah, i play the horses. an accumulator paid off. -came to nearly three grand. i spent about 900 buying a telly for anne and some presents for the girls. a mattress is a strange place for this amount. why not put it in a savings account? sooner or later, some nosy bastard wants to know where it come from. -you used to be a member of the paedophile information exchange. not any more. supposing you were still in touch with your old mates, what would the going rate be for a 14-month-old child? 2,000 quid? where is she? -don´t know. why did you take the car? what car? susan covington´s. did your client need a lifl home? -i didn´t take her. i told you, i was with me girlfriend. why don´t you just ask her? ! do you recognise this woman? -no, i´ve never seen her before. now do you recognise her? i´ve never met her. take as much time as you need. number four. -yes! he´s the man from the park. how did you find him so quickly? has he taken a child before? i´m afraid we can´t tell you that. -we watched a film on the box then turned in we were together all night he couldn´t have left when you were asleep? no i´m a light sleeper what time did he leave the house? well, at about 1:30, but... -i´m sorry i thought you said you´d spent the night together. we had a fight. what about? nothing, really. -afler a couple of minutes, i went afler him and we spent the night at his place. so you lefl the children unattended? no. what is it with you people? you see a single mother and think we´re all screwed up, useless, disaster areas. -i´m sorry. it´s half term. gayle and alison were sleeping over at a friend´s house afler chris had taken us all to the pictures. where did you catch up with chris? fernham park. -it´s on his way home. he was sitting there about to come back, but his place is closer. what time did you leave him? seven. how long was he out of your sight? -15 minutes. and you´re prepared to sign a statement to that effect? look, what´s chris supposed to have done? we´re questioning him in connection with the abduction of vicki warwick. what, that baby that was taken? -you´re crazy. how long have you known him? since last august, about six months. he´s a decent bloke. god knows, there aren´t many of them about. -how did you meet him? i don´t see that that´s any of your business. an ad. what kind of ad? in the local paper. -attractive 30-something divorcee seeks sincere, caring man for friendship and possible romance. good sense of humour essential. must love children. see if her neighbours saw or heard her leave the house. also, re-interview everyone in hughes´s building. -see if anyone saw her arrive or leave. right. we´ve got him till 12 o´clock tomorrow. that´s... 19 hours to get something solid or we´re gonna have to let him walk. richard, how did he hold up? -had to ease off when his brief turned up. what did he say when you told him he´d been identified? he couldn´t remember. he talks to a lot of people in the park. he´s a friendly bloke. -especially with kids we´ve gotta break his alibi and we´ve got to find out who might´ve bought vicki. so keep the boys at it, all known associates. also check with anne sutherland´s relatives and friends see if anyone´s suddenly got an extra little girl. -let´s wheel him up again, boss. let me take a crack at him. no, you´re driving me to bedford. bedford? yeah. -the osborne clinic. there´s a car coming! superintendent! bog off. bog off. -they really piss me off. sorry. they had to be opened. makes you think, though. some people´s hearts are in the right place. -fancy some tea? dr schofield´ll be with you shortly i saw the broadcast you made. was a psychiatrist consulted? there wasn´t time. -i´m assuming you wrote the appeal. mm-hm. did a very good job. for an amateur? no, no, by any standards. -please, sit. so, how much evidence do you have against hughes? he´s our prime suspect. and you haven´t found the child as yet? no. -we think that hughes may have been paid to take her. what, by another paedophile? yes, perhaps by someone he served time with. or met here i would say that was very unlikely. -hughes didn´t form friendships here or in prison. how can you know that? i am correct in assuming you´re here to benefit from my professional opinion? please, sit down. most of our clients take to the theory and practice of group therapy with an ease that sometimes borders on enthusiasm. -but our mr hughes was disruptive. that´s why he was referred to me. you´re an independent consultant? i have a practice and some of my spare time is spent on research. i´m doing some work for the met. -given the seriousness of our case, would you build a profile of our abductor? no. but only because it´s so serious. what i can tell you is that i would very much doubt whether hughes is the person that you´re looking for. why? -because he would never abuse a child younger than five years old. he´d consider it perverse. he believes that children reach sexual maturity at five. that´s the age he was when he was first abused. that´s no bloody excuse, is it? -no. but it is the reason. you have to understand that 98º/º of our clients are the products of abuse. not everyone who´s abused turns into a nonce. that´s the most important aspect of the work that we do here -learning how to treat abused children so they don´t turn into monsters. but you only get half the story. that´s true, but unfortunately we have serious problems in gaining insights into mature survivors of abuse. hughes told us that you´d cured him. really? -the client could spend the rest of his life in here and still not be healed. the wounds are too old. and i´m afraid that there are no cures. castration. no cures that the law allows. -why did you release him? it´s not my decisión. it´s up to the parole board and the local authority paying for his treatment. the best that we can do for these men is to get them to acknowledge their behaviour is deviant, examine the reasons and help them to achieve some measure of control over it. hughes is dating a divorcee, the mother of two little girls six and seven -how much control did you give him? can we see hughes´s case notes? no. dr schofield, a child´s life is at stake here. it´s a question of ethics and, beside which, i would very much doubt whether you´re qualified to interpret the material correctly. -and you´re certain that he didn´t take her? well, dr schofield, i dare say that you won´t care too much about professional ethics if vicki warwick is found dead. you could have saved her. thank you. susan -superintendent tennison´s here can she come in for a few minutes? hello, susan. i´m sorry. there´s no news about vicki yet. -is maureen looking afler you? she´s spoiling me. i´m so used to living on my own. i wanted to ask you a question about the man you identified, christopher hughes. he´s got an alibi. -so did you ever see him with another man? are you sure? yes. i only saw him once. with the little girls -i´m sorry. it´s all right. thank you. will he be released? i don´t know. -i want her back. please bring her back. travellers made camp yesterday. one of the kids spotted a bag stuck in the sluice. could have been dropped miles upstream. -the current´s a killer. without drainage to the lake, it might never have been found. where are the nearest houses? that way about half a mile. my boys are asking but i doubt if anybody´s seen anything -where did the travellers phone in from? payphone on the motorway services we got here as soon as we had the call is this your girl? yes. -how long´s she been in the water? two or three days. no rigor present. if the water weren´t so cold, she´d have started to decay. was she molested? -hard to say yet. we´ll need rectal and vaginal swabs, but she is naked. what did she die of? until i see her lungs, i can´t say for sure. no, no cutting. -not until she´s been formally identified. and i want oscar bream to do the postmortem. thank you. is this vicki? did she suffer? -no. we´ll get whoever did this, i promise you. i promise you there he is! tony, forget it. -the 24 hours were up. i want surveillance on hughes and i want him to know it. if anne´s daughters are at risk, i want him to think twice. go back to the names from our offenders´ search and the disappointed adopters and bereaved parents. i want them all interviewed, relatives, friends, neighbours, the lot! -wild-goose chase. it is not a wild-goose chase! if you need an incentive go down to oscar bream´s and see what´s lying on his slab! have you got anything from forensics, richard? they´re still working. -but it looks like the river´s probably washed away any of the evidence. but he did say that the mud from the river bank... matches the mud found in the renault´s... where the... foot well! foot well. yeah, well, all right. -that´s not much, but it´s something. all right, that´s it. except, uh... i know what hours you´ve been putting in. no-one could be working any harder. -thank you. put the new boys to work, tony. right, guv. boss, there´s a dr schofield waiting in reception. i heard about the little girl. -i´m very sorry. we all are. look, i need to know, vicki warwick, were there any signs of abuse? we haven´t got the medical reports yet. are you still certain we´ve got the wrong man? -can i see him? is that why you´re here? your finger is on a trigger. this kind of emotional stress could drive him back to established behaviour patterns. as far as we know, he hasn´t abused the girls available to him, but if you keep this pressure up, then there´s every chance that he´ll fixate on them. -can i see the file? what´s all the cloak and dagger about? you and me, video room, no guests. vanessa was five when i married carol. five and three quarters. -i mean even a couple of months is a big deal at that age. she was wondenful. and like, um, you know when she started to trust me. you. there´s no trust like a child´s. -it´s like... it´s like perfect. it´s a perfect thing, yeah? she´d look up at me with them big green eyes. people can´t meet your eyes like that. she didn´t uderstand what she felt. -and you helped her to uderstand? yeah gently. it was like a game. the best game. you know she´d get so excited. -she´d fill with such emotion and there´d be tears. she loved me that much... it doesn´t occur to you she may have been frightened? no she loved me. men like you can sometimes frighten children- -no, no only the bastards. yeah. the ones who are too pig ignorant to know how to help a child to uderstand. and... there was this one bloke a bloke here one of those group sessions... and he bought his little girl two kittens, right? -yeah and... after she got attached... he killed one. he strangled it in front of her... and said he´d do the same to the other one if she didn´t do what he wanted... bastard. -i mean, imagine putting me someone like me... in the same room as a shit like that... jesus! hughes was sent to prison in 1985 it was probably only then that he realised there was no chance... of seeing vanessa again. he was foud with his wrists slashed... and he was in a critical condition for some time... -i really think i should see him. we had to release him an hour ago. where are the girls? they´re playing roud at angela´s. i took ´em over before i came to meet you. -you didn´t tell ´em i´d been arrested? what do you think? thanks for sticking up for me, making the statement and that. some people get scared, you know. just being around the police makes them feel guilty. -they must have guilty consciences, then, mustn´t they? you want to know why they picked me up? they´re picking up anyone local who´s got a record. you didn´t tell me you had one. no. -sorry. it was years ago. some burglaries. i got 14 months in wandsworth. i should have told you. -what would burglary have to do with a kidnapping? the place was broken into. expert job, they reckoned. thought i might have done it. mind those filthy overalls. -they didn´t give me time to change. i could always take ´em off. no. you need to eat before you go back to work and i´ve got to pick up the girls. sharon, get me dci turner of the child protection team. -yeah, that´s ruth turner. soon as possible. yes. ruth? well, keep trying. -thanks. danny, have you got hughes´s file? tony´s using it. jane right well there was no physical trauma consistent with attempted or actual intromissión. -there was nothing on the internal swabs. she didn´t drown. there was hardly any water in the lungs, none in her tumy. what was the cause of death? asphyxiation -the lungs stop working but the blood becomes depleted of oxygen. this can cause a colour change in the victim´s skin, cyanosis. though she´s been in the water, you can see a blue tinge on the tips of the ears, lips and the nail beds, and there´s cyanotic congestion in all the major organs, especially the lungs. and was she strangled? no, that would have lefl bruising. -provided we get negative results from the toxicology and drug screens, my guess is she was suffocated. it can take as little as 20 to 30 seconds. she died quickly. they can always tell when they´ve got a rival... especially if it´s their daughter. no carol was a pain in the neck. -it was touch and go whether i could put up with her till i met little vanessa. did you make love with carol? yeah but not often. anyway i don´t think she minded that much. i mean she had a rough time with her first husband -i think all she really wanted was to be treated decent anyway you put up with anything don´t you? to be near someone that you love. where is she? seven. -he lefl her place at 1:30. she didn´t see him again until the next morning. pick him up. what time did he leave your house? half past one, like i said. -i was telling the truth about the fight. well, who started it? um, i don´t know. um... i suppose he did. -it was over, um... well, he won´t make love unless the light is off, and i wanted to leave it on and we ended up shouting. in your statement, you said you went afler him. i was too upset, but the next morning i felt silly, so i went round to his bedsit and he said he was sorry, i said i was sorry, one thing led to another and... aflerwards, he told me that he´d got drunk... because he thought he was gonna lose me and he´d got into a fight... and he thought that there might be some trouble. -so he asked me to say that we were together if anyone asked about him. now, why have you changed your mind, anne? there was something about him today. afler he was released. there was something different. -and i was scared. and, um, then i... saw that little girl on the telly and... get out of the bloody way! get off! no! -jesus. get an ambulance. jesus christ, tony! well, i was off balance. it was his own fault! -do you want someone to stay with you? no. we´ll be fine. guv. drive miss sutherland home. -arrange for someone to pick up... guv. would you just wait here for a moment? what? cock-up. -hughes is on his way to hospital. no, he´s walking wounded. aplin. ok, guv. she wants us back at the station. -what will you tell her? like you said, you were off balance. shit. have we hit someone? you all right? -ok, you two. home, james. where the hell is he? we don´t know. find him. -send him back. stake out the bedsit. get a car sent round to fernham road. and tell maureen havers hughes is running. hughes is on his way to hospital. -aplin´s on his way to hospital. christ knows where hughes is. he could hardly walk. and i want to hear about that. richard, get over to anne sutherland´s place. -now! fast! ali! gayle! come on! -come on i´ve got your bubbles hello? come on you two! you can watch televisión later! hold on a minute. -the roof has fallen down i´ll have to dig a tunel what´s making it collapse? too much weight on mm. ali, you nearly gave me a heart attack. -police are on the phone. hello. gayle, come here, love. what´d you tell ´em? gayle, come on, darling. -what´d you tell ´em? ! gayle! run! run! -get out! get out! shit! he almost dragged me into the bloody road. it´s bollocks! -haskons´ll back me up. you´d better hope the van driver does. it all happened too fast. is that what you´ll say in court? look! -hughes was dead set on doing a runner from the moment he saw us. not because he was scared shitless he´d get done over, by any chance? yes! hughes is at anne sutherland´s place. richard got there 30 seconds too late. -he got cut. is she in the house? she´s a hostage. what about the kids? mum? -she´s fine. you can see her in a minute. just try and pretend it´s a game. just try and pretend it´s... can we clear the area? -let´s go. is it the one with the punched-out window in the front door? danny into the corner. mind the cabling. guv. -on yourpositions. andrews. right. land line´s hooked up, guv. di muddyman to the incident room. -are the children safe? chris, are you listening? are alison and gayle safe? how can you ask that when we´re surrounded by snipers? they´re here to protect anne and the children. -and i´m here to make sure no-one gets hurt, and that includes you. chris? i just wanted to talk to anne. i had to come and find her, that´s all. i just need to talk -chris? chris are you listening? chris? i´ve been paging you for the past hour. i´m sorry. -i didn´t hear. oh, no, no. that´s not good enough, inspector. well, i´m sorry, ma´am! all right? -! how did you change anne sutherland´s mind? she was guilty about covering for him. i just convinced her it was serious. i touched a nerve. -and how did you do that? i just showed her vicki warwick´s photograph and asked her how she´d feel if one of her own children had been hurt. where are the therapy tapes? i don´t know anything about them. i spoke to schofield. -did you steal the case file too? i didn´t do that, no. you´re finished. i mean, do you realise what you´ve done? she won´t say anything. -we´ll never get a conviction! we´ll get a conviction. come on! do you have any idea what you´ve done? i had it all sorted. -i had it sorted. that prick should have cuffed him. he´s got the children! he won´t hurt them. i did it to protect them. -hughes... for christ´s sake, you heard what schofield said. he´s got a knife at her throat, he´s got the children and you´re the one that put them there! oh, god. it happened to you, too, didn´t it? -tony how old were you? i´m disgusting. i´m disgusting i love you just tell me what happened. -anne, please. talk to me. i want to see alison and gayle. i love you. i know what you are. -i know, so don´t lie. that i was in a clinic yeah? how they helped me. i´m not like i was before. you know, i... -i was only like that cos, like, what happened to me when i was a kid, yeah? because of what was done to me. all me feelings and thoughts are all twisted, you know, all sort of shaken up, yeah? but i understand now. i´ve never hurt ali and gayle. -they´re too special to us. and you´re the only woman that... that i´ve ever felt anything for. give us a chance! you´re a liar! -who was here, then, eh? eh? that big bastard, was it? what´d you say to him? mummy? -mum please, chris. please. hello? chris? -i want to talk to tennison. we might be able to arrange that, but... i´ll only talk to tennison now, no-one else. chris... get her out front. -i want to see her. chris, i have to speak to anne first. oh, shit. the siege at helliers road in islington began soon after five o´clock. the identity of the man holding the family hostage is still uconfirmed... but reports suggest that the intruder may be a man... who escaped from police custody earlier today... -the man had been detained in connection with the murder of vicki warwick. are you all right? i think i´ll just go upstairs and lie down for a while. is the man in the house the same man who escaped this aflernoon? dci birnam. -they briefed you? is he on the line? this phone. hello. chris, can you hear me? -did you get that bastard to work me over, eh? inspector muddyman has been removed from the case and his conduct will be the subject of an official inquiry. now, nobody´s out to get you, chris. did you talk to schofield? yes. -what´d he tell you? that you are unlikely to have taken vicki. then why is all this happening? ! chris. -chris, listen. why won´t anyone believe me? ! chris, i´m only interested in the truth. ok? -you have to convince me that i can trust you chris? chris? superintendent. anne? -anne, are you all right? i lied. i´m sorry. what do you mean? what did you lie about? -in my statement today. chris was with me that night. i was just afraid he´d hurt my kids. i wanted him locked away where he couldn´t hurt anybody. this is all my fault. -did you hear that? yes. d´you believe it? yes, i think i do. but we can´t talk properly until you release anne and the children. -i can´t. yes, you can. and you´ll get rid of the snipers? tell him yes. yes, they´ll be withdrawn. -i don´t believe you. i give you my word. i need a doctor! we can´t send in a doctor. but if you come out with anne and the children, we´ll get you to hospital imediately. -those bastards out there´ll do anything to get me. they won´t, i promise you. now, do you hear me? i promise. this is stubbs. -the hostages will be leaving the house first... and crossing the street to the intelligence cell. if the hostage taker does anything likely to endanger them, you´re authorised to fire at your own discretion. i repeat you are authorised to fire at your own discretion susan! susan? -shit! miss covington. i have to speak to him. i´m afraid you can´t go in there. what are you doing here? -he mustn´t hurt those children. this way susan susan it´s all right chris. you can trust me, i promise. chris... -you bastard! gayle! gayle! no! i want my gayle! -no! chris? chris can you hear me? i´m sorry. chris? -chris can you hear me? i´m sorry. chris? i gave him my word those snipers would be withdrawn. you lied to me. -it´s standard procedure for negotiators to be... anne sutherland was almost killed. no. my man pulled that shot as soon as she ran into his line of fire. hughes was scared of catching a bullet. -first thing he sees is one of your men. we won´t know that till afler the tactical debriefing, will we? oh, jesus. where are you going? to the intelligence cell. -he´s still got a little girl. no. what do you mean, no? no. you´re contaminated. -hughes won´t trust you now. yeah, well, whose fault is that? dci birnam will handle the negotiations from now on. negotiations. boss. -i didn´t want him to hurt anyone. i heard the shot. no-one was hit. the children he´s got the youngest. -why did he do it? what, take the hostages? to prove his innocence is he? of taking vicki? -yes. yes, i think so. what do you think? it´s my fault, isn´t it? if i hadn´t remembered seeing him in the park. -no. he made choices. he did this to himself. but he must have been frightened. if he panicked. -it´s so easy to make a mistake, lose control. you must have been frightened when they fired. no. more that sick feeling you get when something´s gone terribly wrong. i´m frightened for gayle -is that her name? have you ever hurt anyone? once. i had a gun. i shot back. -none of us know how we will cope in a crisis. you see, i don´t think i could have done what you did. you had a child you´re all alone i wouldn´t have done it if i´d realised. the idea, the... image that´s shoved down your throat. -it´s a lie you struggle to get a good job and then you struggle to keep it. you get a house and... fill it with all the things you´re supposed to fill it with... and you struggle to keep that, and you finish it off with a child. people were always going on and on about... how wonderful and fulfilling. one even said... you weren´t a real woman unless you had a baby. -so i... you did what you thought you should. like most women. that was brave of you she... -she took so much. everything. and she would not be satisfied, would not let me sleep. sometimes, like sunday, all day. i couldn´t... -she just wouldn´t... nothing i did... the screaming just went on and on and on and on and on! then she was quiet. i fell asleep. -i dreamed she... then shouting. it was me. i... why should i suffer for what she did to me? -i´m the victim! suffocated since the beginning! did you know where you were going to drive? i´d seen the river before. i´d dreamed about it. -i put her blanket in a skip. i can show you where. she was just supposed to be quiet, but she wouldn´t wake up. i walked back. i thought i could hear her. -but the door was locked. i had to break it. i looked for her everywhere. but i couldn´t find her. i couldn´t find her. -i couldn´t find her. i´m sorry! i´m sorry. i´m sorry. sh. -i´m sorry. sh. sh. i´m sorry. i´m sorry. -i´m sorry. prime suspect episode 4 part 2 inner circles is that the one we ordered? -oh, good, yes, thank you very much. darling? paul. james. can i offer you a glass of this? -not just at the moment, thanks. not again! mum... mum, come on! no! -please! i need to go to the toilet. i have to go now, mum. can´t wait to get away, can you?

these bastards aren´t going anywhere. alan, you go roud the front. -norman, you stay here. shit! micky... shut up! alan! -he´s here! alan, he´s coming out. bastards... get your.... hands off me! -norman, check inside the house. bastards! i´ll kill you! listen, you! we don´t want your type aroud here. -understand? just so you remember... i´d put that away if i was you. denis? are you there, denis? -oh, my god... everybody knows who´s doing it. it´s those kids from the bloody estate. still no word from raymond? zilch. -typical. what are we gona do, then? not a lot we can do. phone it in, i suppose. what´s the betting we get lumbered with some berk from amip? -oh, come on, mike. i´m a copper, not a bloody accountant. look, i forecast the budget. don´t expect me to sell the bloody thing. yeah, all right. -all right, 9:00am tomorrow morning. thank you and good night. hello? yeah, tennison. oh, yes, ma´am. -hadley green have called for help. there´s been a murder. where? 17 moss bank drive mmm-hmm. -that´s en4. right. tearing you away from your desk? believe me, it will be a pleasure. see you. -good night, ma´am. thank you. where´s forensic? he´s on his way, ma´am. what, so3? -he was out. he´s picking his cameras and his stuff up now. i see. what do you think of that scarf? fashion victim? -i´m a member of the neighbourhood watch. denis carradine lived here alone? yeah. his mum went into a nursing home about a year ago. carradine was the manager at the hutingon coutry club. -how did you know that? the neighbours. very helpful. concerned about the state of his garden. that sort of area. -who´s your dci? peter raymond. do you know him, ma´am? yes, we´re acquainted. all right, get the male suspect´s id circulated. -keep this area completely sealed off till forensic gets here. if ever! oh, detective. better get the mother informed. send someone over. -not a complete plank. i´ll do it myself. see you back at the nick. where is the nick? sergeant? -why wasn´t i told she could be uderage? listen, if she doesn´t want to talk, how are you or i supposed to know? what´s that supposed to mean? all i´m saying is, she may or may not be uderage, therefore we may not need a parent or... i want the duty social worker down here immediately, please. -you do have an incident room available? good, i want it up and runing by 9:00 tomorrow morning. get a hold of these two officers from amip. that´s tonight, sergeant. denis is... -denis is not coming back, olive. i... i don´t uderstand. why should anyone want to do that to my denis? they were trying to rob him, olive. -he´s dead? ! yeah. yeah, i´m afraid he is. they didn´t hurt him, did they? -it´s good to have you with us, richard. how are the twins? certifiable. nothing´s changed, then. good morning. -richard, this is ds booth, dc bakari. hiya. all right. you know toby from amip. yeah. -find it all right, rich? yeah, with the aid of a sherpa. right, where´s ds cromwell? i thought he was supposed to be here. she is. -morning, ma´am. ds christine cromwell. you´re late. someone took my parking place. probably me. -looking forward to working with you, christine. optimist, are you? try my best. right... denis arthur carradine. -quiet, respectable, all the middle-class values. approximate time of death, between 8:00 and 9:15pm. he was strug up with a piece of electrical flex. now, we have two suspects, one in custody, sheila bower. she´s not talking. -we are treating it as a drug-related burglary. however, the way he was strug up and his clothes suggest some sort of sexual dimensión. what, with that filth? no, that´s not what i´m suggesting. hang on a minute, you´re saying he did it himself. -all i´m saying is that the scarf and the clothes suggest... it´s a possibility. oh, come on. the girl was as high as a kite. they had the poor bastard strung up. -they could´ve done anything to him. right! let´s not jump to conclusions till we get pathology. our first priority is to pick up the youth. uniform is at the larchmont estate. -the description is vague at best, so what can you do? check with neighbours. also, let´s build up a profile of denis carradine. check with his workmates, friends at the club. what is it? -the hutington coutry club. right, the hutington coutry club. did you get anything from the mother? not a lot the woman who runs the nursing home said he´d been made redundant. -he was behind with his mother´s fees. check into that. come on! come on! let´s get going. -i... understood dci raymond would be runing the investigation. not from me, you didn´t. oh, lan. lan. larchmont estate. -tell uniform it´s door-to-door enquiries, not mob-handed, ok? soflly, soflly? not the a team. sheila carol bower. born 25/10/77, highbury, london. -catalogue of juvenile offences in care since ´89. but you listen to me , we´re not talking about petty thieving here. forget about coning some old fart on a magistrates bench. this is murder! -that means prison. for life. not probation on some nice little holiday camp somewhere. we never done him. what? -you were out collecting for the elderly? we never even touched him. so who pulled his pants down? you enjoy that, sheila? yeah, of course you did. -old man like that. make him squirm. have some fun. micky. yes? -ask micky. who´s micky? sheila... 8:42, dci raymond entering interview room. this her, is it, jane? sheila... -we never did him, all right? ! liar. it´s the truth. the truth? -you wouldn´t know the truth if you fell on it. bang her up. dc raymond, could i have a word with you for a minute? 8:43, superintendent tennison and dci raymond leaving interview room. another piece of shit from the larchmont. -they´re scum, the lot of them. where were you last night? my pager was knackered. i just handed it in. well... -well, if it was knackered, why didn´t you call? because i didn´t know it was knackered until this morning. jane, you came here last night and did us a favour. thank you very much. but i´m back on the case so we needn´t detain you, alright.. -you´re understaffed. you asked for assistance. i didn´t ask for anything. this is a straightforward case. oh, i´m not of that opinion. -bullshit! i´m also not of the opinion that this nick can handle this investigation. until i am, dci raymond, i shall be handling things. and in future, when i am interviewing a suspect, you do not interrupt. soup spoons on the right. -right. outside in. do them again. can i help you? i take it you are members. -police, sir. you in charge here? i´ll get mr greenlees. prat... morning. -lords and masters keeping you at it, are they? did you see much of mr carradine? i thought you weren´t going to... p- press charges. how do you mean? -isn´t that what you´re here for? hamish! you can wait in mr greenlees´ office. they held him on the chair, then hauled him up and tied him off. the face of the door is scored and you can see the upper length of this flex is damaged. -it picked up traces of the paint. i think we´ll find they match. so you´re ruling out autostrangulation? for his own sexual gratification? no, no semen stains. -pathology will tell us definitely. can i get down now? i thought you liked hanging around, rich. yeah, she´s got it written all over her. no life but the job. -sounds familiar. mind you, nice legs for a superintendent. still... no job for a woman, is it? originality is not your strong point, is it? -oh, hello. carradine. carradine. oh... here, leave it out. -he´s dead. he´s not gona complain, is he? good morning. how can i help you, officers? ds cromwell. -dc bakari, sir. james greenlees, managing director. we´re all obviously totally shocked and angered by the news. i understand you´ve already apprehended the culprits. who told you that? -it´s close-knit commuity. bad news travels fast. i also have friends in the force. i understand these two creatures were found in the house with denis´s body and that they´d... defiled it? i´m afraid i can´t comment on that, sir. -we´re merely gathering background information on mr carradine. um... how well did you know him? oh, denis was liked by everybody. he was a fine man. -he wasn´t married, was he? did he have any women friends? what are you suggesting? we´re just trying to build up a profile sir. mr carradine retired? -oh, quite recently. his mother was in a nursing home. he´d been under stress. he hadn´t been made redundant? on the contrary. -he was a great loss. a great loss. oh. we understood he was having difficulties paying his mother´s nursing bills. did he have any financial difficulties you were aware of? -no. but then one wouldn´t, of course, encourage that kind of familiarity. we´d heard there´d been some sort of problem with his work. something about some charges being dropped. we had a problem with our vat return, constable. -can i ask you on whose authority you are making these enquiries? i´m sure dci raymond... dci raymond isn´t in charge of the case, sir. well, who is? superintendent tennison sir -she´s been seconded in. right, any prints? there´s prints all over the shop. we´ll run them through the computer, but it´ll take time. oh... -did you get this? do it, would you? anything else? well, it´s probably nothing, but we didn´t get any off the flex. must´ve wiped them. -hmm, money problems? didn´t leave him much, did they? what they can´t steal, they smash. christ, that´s sad. what´s that? -his favourite band was status quo. who´s that? guv. i think i´ve got a more detailed description. so, have you got that, lan? -long hair, an earring scar on his arm. it´s not a lot to go on, guv. yeah, right. right, i´ll tell them to take it easy. -see you later. we´re making enquiries about somebody we believe to be in this area. i don´t live here? what´s going on? polly? -dope? yeah? he´s up above. get up the stairs. i´ll stay this end, cut him off. -hold it! stop! police! oi! get somebody down below! -block off all the stairwells! don´t let him get down! shit! we´re gona lose him. there´s too many exits. -oi, stop! stay back! just take it easy! come here! come on, don´t just stand there! -you asked for house-to-house enquired and that´s what you got. i didn´t want them to go in mob-handed. the larchmont, in case you hadn´t realised, is a hostile environment. i´m not sending my officers in without adequate protection. you asked for michael thomas and you´ve got him. -in a coma, thank you very much. whatever happened to community policing? so where does that leave us with these kids? one half-dead, the other scared shitless. you´re breaking my heart! -they didn´t need to be in there! all right, all right! what else have we got? we have his correspondence. looks like he remortgaged his mother´s house. -i thought the old lady owned it. more to the point, where´s the money gone? 180,000 quid. that´s a lot of money. yeah, and he certainly wasn´t using it to pay off his debt. -he had final demands all over the shop. check his bank statements, talk to his solicitor, find out exactly when denis took possessión of his mother´s house. a visitor, ma´am. superintendent´s office. a mr greenlees. -of course, feel free to say anything you think necessary... ah, superintendent. mr greenlees. how do you do, mr greenlees? i´m chairman of the police consultative committee. -well, i´ll leave you to it. nice to see you, bob. peter. well, what can i do for you, mr greenlees? well, you may not be aware, superintendent, but there´s a lot of fear in this community. -some would say justifiably so. people here feel police are fighting a losing battle against crime. public confidence is very low. well, we do our best. do you? -this morning, superintendent, two of your officers, ds cromwell and a coloured chap, came to see me in my office. i found them rifling through a pile of the club´s private correspondence. really? did you confront the officers? -i didn´t. to be honest, i couldn´t believe what was happening. it´s not the such of behaviour you expect from police officers. quite. i appreciate that. -well, i assure you, i´ll look into the matter and speak to the officers. i do apologise. fine. we´ll say no more about it, then. we all want you to apprehend the murderers, superintendent, but... we are not the criminals. -i see no reason why we should be treated as such. quite. i wasn´t rifling his office. i just picked it up. so you don´t deny it, then? -it wasn´t his property. it was addressed to carradine. do you really think he´d have given it to us? you didn´t give him a chance, did you ? he´s the chairman of the pcc. -that doesn´t make him god. or make him a criminal either. are you listen to me, you may behave like this with dci raymond but you do not with me. do you uderstand? yes, guv. -lucky he didn´t make a complaint. go on, out, the pair of you. if you´re looking for any favours, you´re looking in the wrong place. understand? one more, you´re out. -basically, denis was a very kind man. he had his problems. but then we all do. problems? well, he was 46 years old and still living with his mother. -i think underneath he was quite a lonely person. we were actually at school together. my father was his parents´ solicitor. it seemed like a natural progressión that i should take over. it´s very sad. -it is. well, thanks for your help, mrs henry. i won´t keep you any longer. my pleasure. let me show you out. -polly. what are you doing? borrowing a fiver. you were busy, mummy. i´m not supposed to disturb you when you´re busy, remember? -children. who´d have them? not me. bye-bye. bye-bye. -yes, well, will you make sure the magistrate understands we need sheila bower in our custody. thank you, constable. christ, whose side are they on? definitely not ours. i get the distinct impressión that we´re the bad guys. -richard. do you fancy a drink? i´ve got to re-tile the bathroom. guv, are you all right? all right? -what do you mean? of course i´m all right. see you tomorrow. yeah, see you tomorrow. micky thomas, ma´am. -he´s dead. thank you, sergeant. saves us the expense of a trial. oh, shit! yes? -a whiskey and soda, please. ice? no. i hear young micky´s turned terminal. looks like there´ll be an inquiry. -i´ll manage. no thanks to wallies like you. you won´t. a word of advice. don´t think you can come down here and teach us how to do our jobs. -i´m gona have to go, pete. bye. it´s not what you think. how´s your wife, by the way? she´s fine. -still getting it regularly. which you´re obviously not. large scotch, scotch and soda and a gin and tonic. yes, all right, i´m coming. large scotch, scotch and soda and a gin and tonic. -there is a queue, you know. dad, please. people are complaining. who? i own 30% of this club. -i greatly resent being told how to behave by my son in my own club. now, i´ll have my drinks, please. dad! p please! -paul´s under enormous stress. you know, with this inquiry business. you should stop him drinking. i mean, you are his wife. what difference does that make? -i tell you, i´ve had four months of hell since he was suspended. our sex life is practically nonexistent. some nights, he doesn´t even bother to come home. come on, hamish. get it right. -for pete´s sake. no, no. your money is no good around here, paul. these are on me. do the honours, hamish. -the boys in blue taking a night off, are they, pete? i´m sure that would make denis carradine very happy. oh, hello... this is dr patrick schofield. could you please leave a message after the tone? -hello, dr patrick schofield. this is... superintendent jane tennison calling. um... i just want... -i was going to leave a message that... er... i´ll call you back. bye. you idiot. -i hope he´s not driving tonight. we´ll get a cab. very wise. good-iooking man. he´s a wanker. -paul, will you stop using such language? i can´t bear it. oh, dear! you can´t bear it? how infra-dig of me! -if you´ll excuse me, maria. sorry. i´m sorry. don´t apologise to me. i´m not your wife. -do yourself a favour, paul. stop drinking before you really blow it. now, listen. i´m sorry. it´s just that denis being murdered like that... -paul, listen. i´ve got to talk to you. er... lyne gone? she had a headache. -everyone´s upset about what happened to poor denis. i know, i know, it´s beyond belief. peter raymond tells me one of the thugs jumped off a balcony at the larchmont, trying to escape. did they catch him? well, he died, ufortuately. -i suppose that´s some sort of justice. there are two distinct lines of bruises on the neck. one upper, one lower. note the particlary hemorraging flowering up from the lower contusions to cover the neck and face. this is absolutely consistent with death by strangulation. -the pressure of blood in the vessels above the ligature is massively increased and they burst. however, in this case, the flex was found around the upper area of bruising. there should be no haemorrhaging below it. any significance to the scarf tied around the flex? stops the skin burning. -it´s not ucommon in autostrangulation. the person wants the sexual stimulation of the hypoxic state, but he also wants to control the pain. i thought you said this wasn´t self-inflicted. it wasn´t. whoever did this was trying to make it look as though it was. -scratches and abrasions to the rear of the neck and bruising to the shins. looks as if he was garrotted from behind. so the assailant is likely to have been a man? that´s a very sexist assumption, superintendent. well, i´m so sorry. -86.7% likely to have been a man. hmm. ah, jane, fancy a spot of breakfast? do i have a choice? no. -well, i hope you´re paying, mike. i am. so, to what do i owe this honour? michael thomas... you realise there is going to have to be an inquiry. -good. superintendent mallory and his mates deserve all they get. you were heading the investigation, jane. that wasn´t down to me. that was down to the local plod. -not what i hear from dci raymond. dci raymond´s an arsehole. been transferred out of every nick he´s been in. hold on. your opinion of him is totally irrelevant. -he is the local dci and you´ve overstayed your welcome. now, you´ve nicked the culprits, so let him get on with it. i´m very sorry to tell you this, mike, but micky thomas did not kill denis carradine. what do you mean? look -he wasn´t tortured. he was not sexually abused. can i help you? i´ll have the full breakfast, please. and for me, please. -whoever did this strangled him, then made it look like a sex game. why? plus he´s remortgaged his mother´s house for 180 grand and he can´t pay his bills. where´s that money gone? doesn´t add up. -all right... all right, but you´ve got two days, jane. and i want a favour in return. what? the police consultative committee meet tonight. -i told mr greenlees you would be their guest. greenlees? has he spoken to you? someone seems to have got up his nose. so keep him sweet, all right? -politics, jane. it´s what this job´s all about. use your social skills. if you´ve got any. i know there´s gona be an inquiry. -you´re absolutely right there will. thomas died whilst you were arresting him. so get your story straight. the van just came out of nowhere. write it down. -good morning. oh, contrary to rumour, i am still on the case, so let´s go on with it. get off the phone, christine. the pathologist has confirmed murder. -he sets the time of death at approximately 8pm. now, can we place sheila bower at the scene of the crime at that time? a woman was seen at the house earlier that day. well-dressed, 40ish. so, no, we can´t. -and micky thomas does not have a scar on his arm or an earring. so, if our witness is to be believed, it´s not him either. i don´t buy it. thomas´s prints were all over the place. yeah, but not on the flex. -he probably wiped it. and left the rest? no, my guess is they only just got there. the pathologist has said he was strangled first and strung up after, to make it look like some sex game. can you imagine a pair of kids doing that? -might´ve bashed his head in, but not that, that´s too calculated. brilliant. so where does that leave us? looking for the real killer, lan. not just easy targets. -novel idea, isn´t it? micky thomas is dead, sheila. i´m sorry. you bastards! you bloody bastards! -you bastards! you bastards! you bastards! put her in the chair. all right. -you bastards... she´s now sitting in the chair. let her go. let her go. you couldn´t get him one way so you got him another. -it was an accident, sheila, and that´s the truth. you would say that. and those bastards didn´t do this to my leg, did they? do you want to make a complaint? so you can say i fell over a wall? -forget it, you ain´t stitching me up. i didn´t see nothing and i didn´t do anything! what you looking at? squatting with micky, were you, sheila? samuel johston house? -micky claiming the housing, was he? yeah, up to your neck in shit and syringes. and hawking your dole cards come fridays. know it, do you? i grew up there! -so stop pissing about with all this stitch-me-up bullshit. you were there. micky was there. his prints were all over the shop. bollocks! -you don´t get it, do you? you think these bastards are stitching you up, all the time you´re doing it for them! they want you to be guilty, sheila. they all do, everyone. you´re just another piece of shit from the larchmont. -and they´re gona flush you away. where were you 8pm sunday night? doing a house in turner st. micky got in through the kitchen but an alarm went off, so we legged it. that´s why we tried the other place. -we were speeding. we didn´t even know he was there. you knew what you were talking about in there. that´s always an advantage. turner close. -uniform confirmed a break-in at 8:10 on sunday night. the alarm was triggered. i knew it. raymond didn´t. look, i slept with him, ma´am, but i´m not in his pocket. -so, do you really believe all that? to the country club lot, if you´re larchmont, you´re guilty. yeah, but they´re not running the case. i am. and do you think you´re gona get thanked for this? -i´m telling you, these people think they own the place, and us. i mean, greenlees complains about the letter, but is he coming clean? about what? there was no vat investigation. i checked. -oh, really? guv? come on in, rich, you´re one of the girls. sorry, but there´s something you should take a look at. on 23rd june, 180 grand gets paid into carradine´s bank account. -right, and on the very same day, he writes a cheque for the same amount to an h torres. hernandez torres partners are the company that bought burdett house. i got the details from the land registry. they´re based in the bahamas. their contact number in this country is pitt, henry, james partners. -maria henry. denis´s solicitor. see what she knows. get this vat business sorted out, once and for all. not you, chris. -not with your sneaky little fingers. don´t want another complaint, do we? thank you, jane. so, you can tell us nothing of hernandez torres partners, then? other than they use this firm as a local office, no. -it´s quite a common practice. why would it be common practice for panamanian lawyers to do that? i´m afraid i can´t answer that, sergeant. i´m bound by the client confidentiality act. you´d get me struck off. -look, can i ask what all this is about? mr carradine seems to have paid a large sum of money to this company. we´d like to know why. i´m sorry. as i say, i can´t comment on that. -i don´t follow, mrs henry. you represented denis and his mother. you also represent the torres partners. denis pays torres £180,000. and yet you seem to be saying you knew nothing about it. -what i´m actually saying, sergeant, is that for me to make any comment at all would be a breach of my client´s confidentiality and therefore unlawful. look, off the record, if, as i think you´re suggesting, sergeant, denis chose to buy into an offshore company, then he probably did so to keep his investment private. he´s quite within his rights. it´s perfectly legal. -i wouldn´t have to know about it. well, thank you for being so frank, mrs henry. could you tell us anything about the sale of burdett house? not really. other than some minor conveyancing, the office had nothing to do with it. -any idea how much they paid for it? somewhere in the region of £300,000. jane i said no calls look, i´m sorry to be blunt, and believe me, i´d like to help, but what´s all this got to do with denis´s murder? that´s what we need to find out. -hamish, either the police were called in or they weren´t. now, which one was it? look, i´ve been told n- not to say anything, all right? no, it´s not all right. if no-one is gona talk to us, how the hell are we expected to find who murdered denis carradine? -i thought you already had. are you gona tell us? they treated him like shit. you know, a bit like me, really. they used to laugh and say we´d make a good team. -he showed them, though, he had his hand in the till for m-months. they never even knew. he used to fiddle the accounts to h-hide it. so, when did they discover this? last week. -they got raymond in to sort it out. dci raymond? yeah... hamish! look, i´ve g-g... -got to go. yo, yo! these are firing, man! you can do this professional. yeah? -tell my old m-man. he thinks working here is all i´m good for. well, he´s wrong. who is your dad? p -paul. paul endicott. hey, i know her. that´s... what´s her name? -polly. the daughter of that solicitor. hamish! maria henry, yeah. yeah. -nice woman. close friend of my father´s. no, i´m just her daughter. i´m not responsible for the telephone bill. look, i´m gona have to go, ok? -yeah, i´ll tell her. your mum not in? no. she was. she´s gone to work. -good. hair´s nice. you gona invite me in, then? why wasn´t i told that carradine... was caught embezzling funds from the club? what? -you heard me. you went there last week. you interviewed him. he was subsequently sacked. who told you that? -they wanted it kept discreet. i didn´t think it was relevant. bollocks! i´m the senior officer. i´ll decide what´s relevant. -if you´re covering up for someone, i swear, i´ll mark your card good. i´ve got a tener. what is it? speed or something. -who cares? a tener. we´re not gona get very much with that, are we? look, i don´t like him coming here, poll. don´t be stupid. -these old farts will never know the difference. my old man would. any old excuse and i´ll be out on my ear. yeah, well, he´s all talk. one of these days, he´ll open his lying mouth and i´m gona put my fist in it. -hello? hello? er... yeah? hello? -she was being cagey. come off it, she´s a solicitor. she has a responsibility to protect her clients´ interests. fancy her, do you? i´d show her the error of her ways. -richard, burdett house. you heard anything from the coucil? ten minutes of mantovani, then the line went dead. someone must know something. if they do, they´re not saying. -h torres, a partnership of panamanian lawyers. totally legit and totally uninterested in answering questions. surprise what about this woman at denis´s? got a description? -not much. i rechecked. she could´ve had red hair. maria henry has got red hair. denis had been phoning her all week. -we got a printout from bt. now, that´s interesting. richard, let´s pay her a social visit. anyone been to burdett house yet? for god´s sake. -come on, richard. come on! they all lock the same and smell the same. know what the russians call them? no what? -stack a prole what´s this one called again? fort larchmont. also known as the larchmont estate. larchmont estate... -makes it sound pretty. like somewhere you might actually want to live. 300 grand for this lot. someone´s having us on. i think it´s time to have a talk to mrs henry. -i understand that for legal reasons, you feel unable to comment on this case or grant us access to any of your files. that´s correct. i honestly feel i´ve been as frank as i dare be. you´re divorced, aren´t you, mrs henry? i´m sorry, but what´s my private life got to do with this investigation? -well, we´re trying to build a profile of denis carradine and his friends. now, when was the last time you spoke to mr carradine? well, i don´t really know. over a week ago. it was at the club. -oh... we have... we have a record of denis carradine´s phone calls... that show that he called you three times on the day he was murdered. really? do they show i actually spoke to him? -i do have a secretary, you know. i do have an answerphone. messages are all logged in the diary. please be my guest. this is just a formality and i´m sorry to have to ask you this, but could you tell me where you were on the night that denis was murdered, that is, between about 7:00 and 9:00? -am i a suspect in this case? no. i don´t think anyone is suggesting that. good. having diner with paul endicott and his wife at the club. -20 or 30 people can give us an alibi, if you really think it´s necessary. you may find it quaint, superintendent, but i have a reputation in this town. and it´s very important to me. in future, before you doubt my honesty, please check your facts first now, if you´ll excuse me, i am rather busy. -are we to understand that the girl you arrested... in conection with this murder has been released? yes, we couldn´t hold her any longer. she was charged with breaking-and-entering. we all know what that means. i understand your disappointment but burglary is not murder. -now, michael thomas is already dead. i´m sure you wouldn´t want us to charge sheila with something she didn´t do, upon which we could get no conviction. it´s easy to ridicule middle-class values. but we have rights too. we want to protect what we worked for. -actually, we´ve been relatively lucky so far. if we´d have had the ranleigh housing association right on our doorstep, we´d have been in trouble housing association? there was a dreadful fuss there´s been an investigation into the sale of burdett house. -the chief planing officer, paul endicott, was suspended. investigation? a witchhut, more like! ask james greenlees. he´ll tell you. -he´s chairman of the housing committee. he had to head the damn thing. it was absurd, do you remember? burdett house. ok, let´s assume denis put his 180 grand into buying it. -thanks. it was 300,000. where did the other 120 come from? he must´ve had a partner. well done, sherlock. -right. anything else? anyone? maybe he offered denis some deal? maria did the conveyancing. -run a financial check on her. i want to see those office files. get a court order. see how she reacts. tennison. -greenlees is chairman of the housing committee. he´s endicott´s boss. he´s got to be involved. chris, you´ve no proof of that. i want greenlees interviewed, here at the nick, not all comfy at home. -christ, being a tory coucillor is not a sin. he lied about denis getting sacked. that don´t mean he killed him! shut up, please! sorry, not you. -what did you say? well, thank you. denis carradine´s car was found torched outside maria henry´s house last night. i want that court order. so why should someone steal denis carradine´s car, park it outside your house -...and then set light to it? for god´s sake, i keep telling you! i´ve no idea! it´s probably those yobs on the estate that you let go. it was all a coincidence, was it? -you don´t really expect us to believe that, do you, mrs henry? quite frankly, i don´t care what you believe. it happens to be the truth. mrs henry, i´m obliged to inform you that we´ve applied for a court order to search your premises, and impound any documents relevant to this case. thank you. -this is outrageous! some joyrider leaves a car outside my house and you raid my office? you leave us no alternative. i hope it doesn´t damage your reputation. hello. -hello. what´s going on? where the hell were you last night? with friends. i told you i was staying over... -you liar! you were at the larchmont estate. if you´re using drugs, i´ll kill you! polly... i´m sorry... -please, darling... sit down, please. well... this is absurd! good god, can´t we leave the man some dignity? -all right, all right. denis was homosexual. he was seen at certain pubs and clubs. that´s why he needed the money, to pay for their services. now you know why i would have preferred to keep this private. -really? and who saw him at these clubs? the chief inspector would like a word in his office. yeah. when we´re finished. -so? who saw him, mr greenlees? now, inspector. i´ll be back in five minutes. i expect mr greenlees to be here when i get back. -eight quid? you gotta be joking! it´s all i´ve g-got. please, geoff. oh, go on, then. -seeing as it´s you. santa´s arrived. do the honours, then, hamish. chop, chop, couple of bacardi and cokes. that all right for you, poll? -yeah, great. well, come on, then, hamish. chop, chop, on the double. polly. s-she´s underage. -you wana get that s-seen to, mate. two b-bacardi and c-cokes, all right? n no, i c-can´t. right, well, i´ll s-serve myself, then. -fast hands, boy. fast hands. put that b-back! m make me. -hamish, is your father here? mum, this is geoff. i don´t believe it. i mean, look at you two, you could be sisters. can i get you a drink, mrs henry? -no thank you polly and i are leaving surely you could stop for a drink, mrs henry. i´m buying. now, polly. -please, darling, come on. mrs henry, i have the police on the phone. your secretary gave them the number. it´s urgent. right i´d better be going see you later mrs henry -polly. wait, i´ll come with you, geoff. polly, wait, please! yes, three o´clock. i´ll be there, ok. -polly! polly! so we´re just coming up behind the stolen car. and moving alongside. this is the frame we´ve got. -that´s it after enhacement. do you recognise him, mrs henry? no. i´m sure i´ve never seen him before. no. -i´m positive. lyne? lyne? hamish cut his hand. well, he´s dropped blood all over the carpet. -hamish! paul! he´s hurt his hand. hamish, why aren´t you at work? i... -oh, for god´s sake. ...w- was. you weren´t. i was just there. i thought you weren´t going to the club, paul. -i had to talk to jimmy greenlees about that coucil meeting tonight. hamish! mr endicott? superintendent tennison. this is detective sergeant cromwell. -well, we didn´t see him socially. we might occasionally bump into him at the club. that was all. so you had no business conection? no why? -you were involved in the sale of burdett house did you know that denis was involved in the development company that bought it? no, i didn´t. was the sale of burdett house your decisión? mine? -you obviously have no idea how local government works, do you? perhaps you should go on a course, sergeant. do you think people have courses on things like that? or would you like me to lecture on one? i am tremendously available. -no, a vote was taken. a democratic vote of the whole planing committee. and who decided the selling price? look, you and i both know that this has got bugger all to do with denis. this is an abuse of my privacy and i´m not gona have it. -mr carradine´s solicitor puts the selling price at around £300,000. for 200 acres of prime land. would you not agree that that´s well below the market price? there´s a coucil meeting tonight. why don´t you ask them? -now, if you will excuse me. denis carradine´s solicitor, maria henry. she´s... a friend of yours, isn´t she? my private life is my own affair. it´s got sod all to do with you lot. -lyne, these ladies are leaving. once again, mr chairman, we discover a favoured developer bidding less and still being awarded the contract and not because of the efficacy of its proposal, oh, no. because it suits the political aspirations of this coucil. point of order! -point of order! mr mason, sit down. it is exactly this climate of witchhunt and hysteria, whipped up by the opposition and the press, that has hampered this internal inquiry. and... and caused the delay in the publication of our findings. -yet again we are faced with the evidence of the corrupt and secretive way this coucil conducts its business. withdraw that remark. why? it´s the truth. order! -point of order! mr mason, if you don´t sit down, i shall have to have you removed. you should be removed. point of order! stewards! -clear the chamber. out, out! this meeting is now formally adjourned. out, out, out! just sit her down, please. -police officer! she´s got a warrant, you pillock! this is typical of your conduct sice you arrived in this borough. from your failure to control your officers to harrying inocent people. i believe your entire agenda has been politically motivated. -got any comment to make about that, superintendent? superintendent! you wanted to see me? what is this all about? democracy in action? -it didn´t happen like that. a politically-motivated witchhunt? greenlees wants us off the case. he´s not the only one cromwell´s suspended, you´re back here, now. -raymond´s taking over. look! no, you look! you´ve got no bloody case. burdett house is a part of... -don´t give me that conspiracy crap. i don´t want to hear it. all right. all right. well, let me put it this way. -supposing some hairy leflwing journalist got hold of the story that the met did nothing about a major coucil fraud... associated with a murder? conspiracy is exactly what they´d call it. i don´t know, but the press do have a funy way of finding out about these things, don´t they? are you threatening me? i want cromwell back on the case. -politics, mike. it´s what it´s all about. get a result, jane. of course, sir. where´ve you been? -you´ve had me worried sick. drink too much, did he? don´t be so bloody facetious. i asked you a question. with geoff, all right? -i stayed with geoff. you´ve got your lover and i´ve got mine. you stupid little slut. yeah, well, at least mine´s not cheating on his wife. polly! -polly, please! what are we gona do? for god´s sake, stop your snivelling! christine. i want to have a few words about personal security. -yeah, you may well laugh, lads, but it´s better safe than sorry. look, about this damage-limitation stuff... taken to wearing nappies, josh? all right, out, the lot of you. sparing my feelings? -greenlees phoned kernan, kernan saw the newspaper. so i´m off the case? look, chris, greenlees has set himself up... as the unofficial spokesman of this community, and this community, for reasons best known to itself, accepts him as such. now, we serve this community, so regardless of our opinion of him, he is entitled to our courtesy. oh, you were there. -bloody hell! his sort are so good at yelling for their courtesy, there´s sod all lefl for anyone else. he´s scared you off. you were out of line in his office. you were out of line last night. -you finished? no, i have not, so shut up and sit down! i put my job on the line for you this morning. don´t know why. you sure as hell haven´t earned it. -so start. i´m not suspended? it´s on hold. i want denis carradine´s killers. chris, i want them all. -i know you can help us get them. just don´t let your pride blow it for us, all right? right. well, where´s raymond? he´s not gona be pleased. -you bastards... police! open the door! right, in you go. get off! -geoff? that is why they call them the filth! right little slag, ain´t you? geoff... all right. -how much? come on, you don´t think i´m gona do it for nothing, do you? can´t afford it, eh? you got your mummy´s problem. two slags in one family. -i should´ve known. i don´t understand. why are you doing this to me? aw... does little polly want to know why? -denis knew about the coucil fraud. we knew he was desperate for money. we´re still no closer to the actual killers. maria and endicott have both got alibis. they could´ve paid someone. -yeah, why pay someone to kill the blackmailer? just pay the blackmailer. they couldn´t anyway, guv. she´s skint. we´ve checked her accounts. -and endicott is in the middle of this inquiry. he´d dare not. which puts us back to square one. pull maria in, guv. what we got to lose? -a lot. she´s been to law school. she´ll run legal rings around us. got a female downstairs, name of henry. doesn´t look too good. -she´s brought herself in. diner on a plate. the doctor´s on his way. who did this to you, polly? a man. -geoffrey brenan. i want him arrested. bastard. all right, ok... does your mother know you´re here? -what does she care? she wanted this to happen. what are you talking about? he got thrown out of the army. she kept telling me not to go near him, acted like she hated him. -all right, now, look. just calm down. tell me what happened. she saw us at the club yesterday. she freaked. -i went back with him. stayed the night. when she found out, she went mad. completely mad. called me a slut in front of paul. -paul? who´s paul? her boyfriend. paul endicott. it´s all right for her, she can do whatever she likes, but when it´s me, she starts screaming and shouting. -right... so you went back to geoff? i thought he wanted me. he called me a slag. he kept laughing and sneering. -he said he´d only done it with me to get at my mother. i wanted to kill him. and where did this happen? a flat on the larchmont estate. dragonda house. -polly, can you describe geoff for me? got him! josh, get maria henry in. what on? nothing. -tell her her daughter´s been beaten up but keep them apart. lan, you entertain her. rest of you come with me. where? to arrest geoffrey brenan for the murder of denis carradine. -who the hell´s geoffrey brenan? bound to be a tory coucillor! hey, derek! what´s going on? dci raymond nicked sheila bower. -it´s not a great idea. who sanctioned this? your chief superintendent felt the squatter and drug problem was getting out-of-hand. oi! excuse me. -it´s all a bloody game, isn´t it? guv. mr brenan! police. police! -anyone? guv. it´ll be half an hour soon. where the hell is he? oh, it´s all right. -here he is. two in a week. still, think of the overtime, eh? ma´am, looks like we may have a witness. then there was this couple in this green jeep-type thing. -parked up in the middle of all the aggravation. i thought to myself, "you leave it there, you´re asking for trouble. " then this bloke gets out. this jeep, was it a range rover? oh, i don´t know. -and when i came back up again, he was banging on matey boy´s door. george, would you recognise this man again? well, i was keeping my head down. he was tall... yeah, maybe. -what about the other person? no, i only saw her for a second. lovely red hair though long? no! -only to about here. if i´ve been dragged down here under false pretences, i shall be making a complaint. that is your prerogative. burdett house. -we know denis carradine bought it from the coucil. it cost somewhere in the region of £300,000. cheap for such a large property, wouldn´t you say? i wouldn´t really know. we were only involved in the conveyancing. -it was a crumbling heap. with planing permissión for luxury homes. inside information that you knew. paul endicott told you. the coucil had to sell burdett house as quickly as possible, to stop a housing cooperative from buying it. -not the right kind of people. the buyers stood to make a fortue. you and denis. were you his silent partner, maria? no! -that would be both illegal and unethical! yes, exactly what the coucil´s gerrymandering policy was. when it blew up in their faces and they withheld planing permissión, you and denis were left holding a property worth nothing that is pure speculation and you know it. um... -how would you define your relationship with paul endicott? he´s a friend. our families meet socially. so any suggestion that you are involved in a sexual relationship... would be quite utrue? his wife is a friend of mine, superintendent. -i see. and when did you last see mr endicott? i don´t know. a few days ago. didn´t you see him this morning? -absolutely not! who told you that? your daughter polly you see, she seems to think the two of you having been having an affair for months. mrs henry? -have you interviewed her? polly is 15, superintendent. she´s a minor. it is unlawful to interview a minor without a parent or guardian present. you are aware of that? -polly came to us with a complaint. we investigated. she wasn´t interviewed. i hope not. for your sake. -and mr endicott? is a friend. that´s all. i see. we´ve compiled an id of a man seen earlier at denis carradine´s house on the night of the murder. -the description matches a man called geoffrey brenan. do you know him? no. this is geoffrey brenan. this is the man who stole denis´s car and set fire to it outside your house. -the man we showed you on the video. do you still maintain you do not recognise him? yes, i´ve already told you. did you know your daughter was sleeping with him? what are you talking about? -she´s 15! she says you met them together yesterday. yesterday? yes, at the huntington club. yes, i met someone there, but he didn´t look like that. -you´re going to have to do better than that, maria. the only way you could have obtained this so-called information, superintendent, is illegally. if so, you´ll be in a great deal of trouble. your daughter came here with her face in a mess and accused brenan of attacking her. we went to arrest him and found him dead. -it´s as simple as that. i don´t believe that. you believe what you like. you see, we have a description of a man and a woman, seen at the time of brenan´s murder, that matches you and paul endicott. i think that you and your lover conspired to murder denis carradine and employed geoffrey brenan to do it. -and subsequently, when he threatened you the pair of you got rid of him. if you really believed that, you´d charge me. right, so she´s not going to stick her hand up. maybe there´s something in her office. no way, she´s too sure of herself. -covered her tracks. god, what a bitch. so what now? richard, any news from brenan´s flat? looks like he was attacked with a hammer. -we should get something off it. forensic reckon he was given a right whacking. let´s get maria printed. get a court order. where´s endicott? -interview room, guv. he´s got a solicitor with him. right, let´s have a crack at him. good luck, guv. geoffrey brenan was found murdered at his flat... on the larchmont estate at 1:15 today. -god... well, it wasn´t me. maria henry and you are good friends, aren´t you? er... yes, yes, we are. -very... good friends. she is a family friend. that you sleep with. were the two of you involved in the fraudulent purchase of burdett house? no, that´s not true. -wasn´t it you who recommended the sale to the planing committee? i told you, it was a vote. the whole scam was your idea. we know there is a conection between the sale of burdett house and geoffrey brenan´s murder. well, it wasn´t me. -i didn´t... kill him. we have a witness who saw a tall man and a red-haired woman in a green four-wheel-drive at the time of the murder. my client is under no obligation... your friend maria has red hair. you drive a green monterey. -look, i wasn´t there! where were you at 12:00? i went out for a walk. where? did anyone see you? -um... no. my client is under no obligation to answer these questions. that´s right. that´s a very good idea. -say nothing, paul. because i think you and maria paid brenan to murder denis carradine. and whateveryou say that´s what i´ll charge you with we´d better get his prints done. um! -i´ll get a court order um... look... i didn´t even know this geoffrey brenan even existed until today. that´s the truth. -um... maria was frightened. she said someone was threatening her and she asked me to stay over. anyway ...that was when she told me. maria... -that she said she´d done it. done what? that she´d hired brenan to kill denis. why? because he was going to expose the burdett house deal. -he wanted her to bail him out, but she didn´t have the money. if she didn´t have it, where did she find the cash to hire brenan? you? no! no! -i knew nothing about it! maria said she was going to pay brenan. she promised him £2,000, was going to give him half of it up front. she did that, but she didn´t have the rest. he... -well, he threatened her. he wouldn´t wait. he was furious. brenan, he was just completely out of control and um... she said that i should pay him off or... -or we´d have to get rid of him too. is that what you did? no... all right. paul, if it wasn´t you driving your car with maria henry who do you think it was? -i don´t know. i really don´t. look... the... the coucil inquiry is going to exonerate me. -so why would i risk all that? i think we´d better take a statement. you´ve got to hand it to her. we had the kids marked down for that. you did. -is there enough to make it stick? forensic will sort it out. if he ever gets his act together. greenlees is gona exonerate him? guv, he´s got to be involved. -chris, i know he´s an arrogant shit. that doesn´t make him an accessory. forget him. we haven´t got enough to prosecute these two yet. about time! -right. the good news or the bad news? the good news. that hammer we found, the pathologist thinks it´s a reasonable bet. the blood grouping looks good and it´s covered in prints. -yes! the bad news is none of them match paul endicott´s. well... what about maria henry? sorry. -so far, there´s no forensic evidence to put either of them near that flat. not finished yet. this is detective sergeant cromwell. a continuation of the interview with maria henry. the time is 18:32. -entering the room, superintendent tennison. well, it´s not gona work, maria. paul endicott has made a statement. he says the murders are all down to you. rubbish. -he´s signed it. "brenan strung denis up and then pulled down his trousers and his underpants to make it look like some kind a sex game. " he was your oldest friend. was that your idea? you even went to see him earlier that day. -we´ve got an id, maria. why did you do that? the right to remain silent seems to be a concept you don´t fully understand. why remain silent if you have nothing to hide? why lie? -all right. i admit i visited denis. look, let´s try and clear this up once and for all. denis had been caught embezzling money from the huntington club. well. -that´s why all the phone calls. i didn´t tell you because... well, quite frankly, i was embarrassed. i mean, i´ve got friends at the club and i didn´t want the police crawling all over my private affairs. i offered to lend him some money. -oh, and did denis accept your kind offer of help? of course he didn´t, because you didn´t make one, did you? you can´t, maria. you´re broke. we know, we´ve checked. -your money is tied up in the burdett house scam. you couldn´t even afford to pay brenan. that´s completely untrue. i know nothing about that. it´s all down here in black and white. -paul endicott is a drunk and a liar. he´s also totally corrupt and i can prove it. he was the one that approached denis about burdett house. i had nothing to do with it! in fact, if you check my files, i actually advised denis against the purchase. -endicott´s been taking kickbacks for years. i absolutely deny everything he says and you can´t prove otherwise. now, i´d like to see my daughter, please. it´s all circumstantial. and polly? -we have to let her see her. not yet. not yet. oh, superintendent. paul endicott´s wife phoned me. -she was very upset. she told me he´d been arrested. yes, yes, that´s correct. there was a murder on the larchmont... so i understand. -you´ve got the wrong man, superintendent. i can assure you, paul wouldn´t be seen dead on the larchmont estate. thank you, we´ll bear that in mind. i take it this is just an informal interview, then, and you´ll be releasing him shortly? mr greenlees, someone is dead. -he may not have been part of your iner circle of friends, but he still had rights and someone caved his head in. i´m in charge of this case and i will decide who gets released and when! all right? i knew you´d blow it. yeah... -he hums it, you sing it. dick. guv! hamish endicott. i found him down by the canal behind the estate. -when i walked up to him, he turns around and says, "i´ve killed someone. you better lock me up. " why did you want to kill him, hamish? he´s a b-b-b-b... -he´s a bastard! he d-didn´t deserve to live after what he d-did. what did he do? you know, to p-p polly. what did he do to polly? -he ...r- raped her. and i´d do it again. who told you that, hamish? who told you that brenan raped polly? was it maria? -no. she told me. cos that wasn´t true. s sh... -she told me. hamish, she was lying. n- n... n... i´m n-not saying any m-more. -hamish, who was it in that car with you? the red-haired woman. who was that? was that polly? no! -was it maria? i told you, it was m-me! i did it! on my own! me! -all right... it was me! yeah, all right. all right! it was me! -i did it. superintendent tennison, 7:22. i´m suspending this interview. hamish, look, i´m turning the tape off. get him a tea. -hot tea with lots of sugar. hamish. come and sit down. come on. come on. -come on, it´s all right. come on. look. denis was a friend of yours, wasn´t he? yeah. -he was all right. hmm. he was a friend of maria´s too. until she had him killed. no. -she couldn´t. listen, you know that maria and your father were lovers, don´t you? well, she and your father were involved in a fraud. and denis was the front man. we´ve got your father here. -hamish, he´s... helping us with our enquiries. i don´t b- believe you. it´s the truth. maria had denis killed to stop him from talking. here. -you see, she paid brenan to kill him. and then she got you get rid of him. oh, she used you, my love. she used you, just like she used denis, like she used your father. for christ´s sake, why are you trying to protect her? -but she... all right! all right, play the martyr. let me tell you, if you don´t start talking soon, polly is gona go down as an accessory to murder. -and do you know what that means, hamish? that means, polly is gona go to prison. prison. it wasn´t her, all right? well, who was it? -i want to see my daughter. i keep telling you, that is not possible. where were you this afternoon? superintendent tennison entering the room at 7:42pm. at 1:00 today, you were with hamish endicott on the larchmont estate. -i was not! you lied about your daughter being raped... and then you sent that boy out to do your dirty work for you. he bungled it, maria. he dropped the hammer. then he got himself arrested. -he´s here. he´s told us everything. are you saying hamish murdered geoffrey brenan? well, as if you didn´t know! because you were with him. -you were seen. we have a witness who saw a red-haired woman with him. did he say it was me? did hamish say it was me? exactly. -who else could it have been? i haven´t the faintest idea. it could just as easily have been my daughter. oh, god, you´d do anything, wouldn´t you? i haven´t done anything, sergeant. -you´ve manufactureda lot of hearsay evidence that you know won´t hold up in court and you´re panicking. polly! can you come with us, please? you too. come on. -geoffrey brenan is dead polly what? no. no, he can´t be! he was murdered. -hamish endicott killed him. we know that. we also know that there was a red-haired female with him. it wasn´t me! i didn´t do it! -i didn´t! darling, they´re just trying to frighten you. now, say nothing. we want you to answer some questions. mummy! -help me! it´s all right! mummy won´t let them hurt you, darling. she´s underage. you can´t touch her and you know it. -but i didn´t do it! i didn´t do it! polly! where were you at 1:00 today, polly? i don´t know. -for god´s sake, stop this! why aren´t you stopping this? where were you? why are you doing this to me? you´re under 16, polly. -they can´t touch you. say nothing. did you tell hamish that you´d been raped? what? well, who told hamish that geoff had raped you? -who knew how much he loved you? who went cut there with him in his father´s car, this red-haired woman? who gave him a hammer and who told him to bash geoff´s head in? it wasn´t me! for god´s sake, she´s just a child. -mummy, i didn´t do it! what sort of a person would lie like that and let hamish take the blame? stop this. leave her alone! you know hamish is going to go to prison, don´t you? -you´re going with him. do you know why? because the woman who was with him is going to let you. that´s a lie! i never said it was her and you know it -oh, no... no, they´re lying. darling, i love you. i wouldn´t let anything happen to you. someone must have made hamish kill geoff, polly. -oh, polly, please! you slept with him. i didn´t polly, i love you. liar! -geoff told me, mum. all right, so if it wasn´t you, who was that red-haired woman? oh, all right! all right... i´ll tell you. -just stop this. please you did it. she´s admitted everything. well done. -she used her daughter and we did the same. what´s the difference? another retirement due to ill health? give greenlees a month and it´ll be as if none of this ever happened. well, it´s not our job, is it? -should be. he´s as guilty as... politics is what it´s all about. politics! give me a cigarette, would you? -i didn´t know you smoked. i don´t. prime suspect episode 4 part 3 the scent of darkness -george. an officier at your station is time and again being overlooked. are you referring to wpc parman? yes. she came through cid training with exceptional reports, so why has she been in uniform for the past 14 months? -she can´t work in a team. who says? a consensus of opinion. sorry, if you´re trying to find a sexual bias, you´ll have to do better. i have several reports of incidents in wich sally parnam... -she can´t take a joke. she won´t put up with bad attitudes. and if you can´t take a joke, you shouldn´t work in teams. could you stick this in a box for me? sure. -see you tomorrow. bye, george. gemma? hello. it´s christine´s mum. -is christine there? oh. when did she leave? er... did she say she was coming straight home? is there anywhere else she might have gone to? -oh, yes, yes. i´ll try rosie. if she does come back to you, could you telephone me as soon as possible? all right. thank you. -bye. well, she left two hours ago. he´s late. he´s not coming. he´d better. -he´s got to come, ain´t he? he won´t come. he´s scared. he´ll turn up. he knows what´ll happen if he don´t, don´t he? -yeah, and he knows what´ll happen if he does. she was supposed to come home three hours ago, from gemma´s. she didn´t mention anything? yes, i´ve tried chloe. no, she´s not at the school. -i´ll try someone else. thank you. yes. thank you. that´s everyone. -oh, i´m sorry. i´m sorry. i´m sorry. so, how was it? was it good? -ah, yeah, yeah, it was... oh, it was great. it was the best show you´ll ever miss in your life. right. well, don´t worry, i´ll pay for the tickets. -no, that´s ok. no, i insist. really. no. i just got here myself actually. -i missed it. you´re joking. what, did you get held up at work? yeah, meeting. 34 quid? -honest, that´s all i could get. 60 quid, webster. i know. i´ll get the rest later. honest. -shopping? cinema? no. there´s no question of that. there´s no problem with her being allowed to do things. -could she have forgotten to tell you she was going somewhere? no, not on a school night. homework to do. right. yeah, justice. -of course i believe in justice, but retribution as well. it´s very important. i had this case a couple of years ago. there was this killer walked free, suspended sentence. i mean, the guy definitely did it. -jesus, i get angry about it still. how do you think the families of the victim feel? they need retribution. it helps them sleep at night. after all, you´ve got to be able to believe in the system. -yeah, jane tennison. where? look at this, sarge. bill. she´s down here. -are you amip? no, and i do have a name. detective superintendent jane tennison. dci tom mitchell. all right, what have we got here, then, tom? -well, she´s been dead no more than a few hours. violently assaulted, hands bound, brought to the site in a camden borough refuse sack. probably tossed from the embankment here. what, not thrown from a train? no. -i´d say that was impossible, the way the bag landed. do you think the kids moved her? not that we´re aware of. any idea who she is? not yet. -there are a few boot and shoe prints, so we should be able to lift something. ok. well, when are we going to see the body? any time after nine. bill... -what is it? the scent of perfume in her hair. patrick. oh, shit. hello? -richard? richard, can you meet me at dartmouth park morgue at nine o´clock this morning? yeah. yeah. i reckon she was dumped on the embankment around three o´clock in the morning. -friday morning? friday, yes. she´d been there 18-19 hours. was she dead before she was put in the bag? probably died around midnight. -one can´t be sure. how old do you think she is? 50. 55. these wounds to the torso were caused by a long, thin-bladed instrument, the order of an eighth of an inch wide, six inches long. clean entry wounds. -these marks here to both wrists would indicate she´d been tied up for some period of time. now, these weals to the upper arms... arm clamps. well, yes, that´s possible. very good. -strung up and clamped? strung up. i wouldn´t like to say. any evidence of her killer? no semen. -no trace of anything that might prove useful. might be something on the bag. the hands are spotless. nothing under the fingernails. have they been scrubbed? -scrubbed is possible. yes. it´s only the clamping of the arms. yeah. i want the photos as soon as possible. -don´t tell anyone about this. no. but, i mean, it is only the clamping that makes us think it´s a connection. maybe a little hobgoblin lets him out at night. you did put away the right man. -there´s no question of that. marlow, marlow, marlow... where is it? ah-ha. mike, i want to stay on this case. -really? i thought you liked doing budgets. oh, very funny. look, i want haskons on it with me. ok. -you´ll have mitchell shadowing you. why? we´ve got him in mind to join amip as a dci. you´re all right, he´s a nice lad. fancy him, do you? -get out. i´ll see if i can arrange a date. good morning. detective superintendent tennison. i´m sure you all know that i´ll be working with you from now on. -tom, have we got an identification yet? marjorie miller. is she local? yeah. kentish town. -osborne road. well, what do we know about her? excuse me. she was a widow, lived on her own, worked for scott´s mill clothing company, assistant managing a shop in the west end, she used to go out to the club on tuesday evenings. club? -what club? our club. our area social. why? her husband was duty officer here until he died six years ago. -what, at this station? yeah. she left the club about 10:30pm, went outside to catch a bus home... colin, take that for us, will you? cheers. -same routine every week. we know she didn´t make it that night. and she left the club on her own? yeah. we´re trying to find out if anyone saw her after she left. -any relationships? any lovers? no. definitely not the type. she was very devoted to her husband. -some of the older guys here knew her. she never looked at another man. anything else you want to know? no, thank you, but i want everyone in that club questioned. it doesn´t matter who they are. -it´s being done. she´s here at marjorie miller´s house. the photos arrived. yeah, looking at them now. oh, shit! -it´s got to be a copycat killing. someone wrote a book claiming marlow was innocent. i´m sure photos of his victims were in it. what was it called? yeah, i know the one you mean. -why? have you got it? yeah. it´s complete rubbish. i worked on the case, so i... -can you let me have it? sure. this is the same knot that marlow used to tie up karen howard and della mornay. if anybody has... any idea where christine might be, please... please contact the police. any information at all, however insignificant you might think it is, please call. -it´s ok, she´s here. anyone holding our daughter... she´ll be all right with george. hey, leave off. he´s an innocent man. -he´s still a nonce. the governor will tell you. hey. come on, george. why ask the governor? -you had your hand down his trousers? come on, now, lads, lay off him. where´s my trainers? where´s my bloody trainers? you know, everything i saw in the mortuary this morning is detailed in this bloody book. -everything. what do you make of that? well, it´s interesting. i mean, what kind of a person would be doing that? what, you mean copy a killing in every detail? -yeah. and out of a book? yes. no-one. i mean, you might be influenced by what you read in a book, or you might get some ideas for what to do with your victim from a book, but you wouldn´t follow it line by line like you were using a recipe. -what do you think´s going on, then? i don´t know. i´ve no idea. oh, come on, give me a theory. patrick! -what? ! i thought you were supposed to know about all this. i need more information than you´re giving me. all right, all right, look... -excuse me. i was watching that. well, can´t we talk about this? no, we can´t talk about it. i just want to sit here and relax. -i don´t want to talk about work. you should try listening to what i have to listen to all day. seriously. all right. sorry. -they don´t use guns. they insert bullets manually. oi! boom! i mean, it can´t just be a coincidence. -please, let me just get this thought out, all right? supposing that whoever´s doing this wants to prove this guy, whitehouse´s, case. he wants us to believe that marlow is innocent. isn´t that more likely than just a coincidence? it´s possible. -well, how possible? personally, i wouldn´t spend a lot of time on it. what am i left with, then? a problem. which photo? -della mornay, hands tied behind her back. she looks a bit rough. what do you mean, she looks rough? she´s dead. right. -what have we got? the pathologist´s report. good. anything on the footprints? they´ve lifted 11 separate shoe and boot prints. -so far, we´ve eliminated five. the place is mostly used by kids drinking and doing drugs, so we´re doing all the local schools, youth clubs, community centres and hostels. incidentally, none of those places have use of an escort van. right. escort van? -yeah, a man was seen getting into an escort van at 2:00am on friday and then driving off. it was parked at the dead-end road leading to the embankment. and when did this come in? yesterday. why wasn´t i informed? -must have been an oversight. so, who´s the witness? 20-year-old male. spent the evening drinking with his friends. says he wasn´t drunk, and there´s no reason to believe he´d be mistaken. -and what´s his description of the man? medium height, 5´8"-5´11". of stocky build and mediterranean appearance. he was wearing white trainers, dark trousers or jeans and a dark top. now, one of the footprints on the embankment is a reebok, size 8. -jogging shoe. he could be greek. why do you say that? mediterranean, ma´am. he might have keys to a lockup? -don´t know about that, ma´am. no, like hell you don´t. don´t call me ma´am. all right, who else has read the book in dc dyson´s hand? we found it on the table. -ma´am. yeah, well, all of you who found it on the table... will be struck by the similarity between our murder and the murders committed by george marlow in a lockup owned by the proprietor of a greek café. i can´t stop you reading that book, but i will tell you it´s trash. i put marlow away, so i should know. there is no place on this team for anyone who clouds this investigation by questioning marlow´s guilt. -is that clear? oh, and i don´t want any details of this killer´s methods known outside this room. i can assure you... that my officers are a sight more professional than to allow a book to influence them. hmm. let´s not go in today. -let´s stay in bed. let´s go for a walk on parliament hill. i wish. no, love. no, i mean it. -i mean it. ok. god. you know i can´t. this is the first time in my life i´ve had the feeling that i don´t want to get up and go to work. -i don´t want to screw up another relationship. this is the first time in my life i´ve ever felt like this. tell me it´s not going to happen. it´s not going to happen. bill. -mutilated, bagged up and dumped. you´ve got another one. who found her? jogger. or his dog. -how long do you think she´s been here for? no more than four or five hours. bill it´s the same perfume as the other one, only stronger. what is it? -i´m not surre. it´s quite sweet and heady. it´s definitely in her hair. christine bramwell. age 16. -same mutilation, same marks on the wrists, same weals on the upper arms, same method of disposal. now, christine disappeared about 18 hours after marjorie was found on the embankment. the time of death indicates... that she was held for two days and then killed on the third. that means that we´re looking for a killer... who can keep his victims out of sight and hearing. unfortunately, there were no footprints found on the site, and we won´t get anything off the body because her hands have been scrubbed. -he´s very thorough. or experienced. there was a scent of perfume about christine and a similar scent was found on marjorie. no scent of any kind was ever found on marlow´s victims. forensic have not yet identified the brand. -now, christine went missing about five o´clock. how? i mean, she was a bright girl. she knew not to get into a stranger´s car. we know the route she took home, so i want everyone on it questioned, and that means everyone, incluiding the neighbour´s cat. -someone must have seen something. have we got anything on the van? all hire vehicles and london owners have been checked, and negative. what about the club? every officer and guest was interviewed. -marjorie definitely left alone. no-one saw her after she left? no what about the mediterranean connection? do you have a suggestion? -well, in the book on marlow... oh, i hope this is relevant. i think so, ma´am. in the book, whitehouse says that the nephew of the owner of the lockup, a greek guy, andreas, had a conviction for an attack on a woman in manchester in 1988. the first four marlow murders occurred in the north between ´84 and ´87. -we know all this. andreas was in prison in ´88 when the murders stopped, then moved down to london to work in his uncle´s café in ´89. the fifth and sixth marlow murders occurred in his uncle´s lockup in 1991. and andreas left the country a month after marlow was arrested. he returned here two and a half months ago. -how do you know this? we´ve checked it out. do you want me to check out his shoe size? no, i don´t. i want to find out who murdered these two women. -try this. yeah. well, it´s something like that. right... now try this one. -yeah, that´s it. yes, definitely. that´s what i smelt too. it´s gardenia. now, the first one i gave you was a mix, gardenia just being one of its perfumes, but this is a single-note gardenia. -and this is what you smelt on marjorie´s body? pretty certain. good. no. are you sure? -yes. dr bramwell? she never wore perfume. can you tell me if you´ve smelt this before? no. -please, would you just smell it and? she didn´t wear perfume. she´s just schoolgirl. just tell me if you recognise it. no. -thank you. marjorie only ever wore one kind of perfume, a beauty without cruelty scent, aurelia, with no trace of gardenia in it. good. well, at least we´ve got something. can i have a word? -i´m not happy with the way this investigation is going. nor is my team. i hope you´re going to put them straight. when they´re barred from following... an important line of investigation, attitude, teamwork suffer. all right, what are you trying to say? -why haven´t we checked andreas out? you checked him out already. we haven´t had him in for questioning. you´ve wasted critical hours on a murder that i´ve already solved. how much more time do you intend to waste? -now, you sort your lads out and get on with the job in hand, which is finding a copycat killer. don´t say anything. i was told you wanted me. get in the car. where to? -the lockup. the café. andreas. if it´s going to be checked out, i´m going to do it. did you take a look at the whitehouse book? -i had to see what everyone´s talking about. do you want it back? is there a waiting list? no. i just wondered if you had any idea why marlow´s girlfriend changed her story. -she was dying. why would that make her say you forced a statement out of her? look, marlow´s all she´s got left. she wanted to make things right for him. this is it. -yeah. it was like walking into hell when we first found this place. let´s go. aren´t we going to the café? no. -i thought that´s why we were here. i bollocked mitchell for wasting his time on this. i´m not going to make the same mistake. well, i might as well go in and have a cup of coffee. do what you like. -as i´m here. yeah. yes, sir, how can i help you? i´d like to speak to mr andreas hulenkinis. oh, for jesus christ´s sake! -take him into the back. what do you want? same questions, different face. when were you last questioned? yesterday! -only yesterday! i have customers here! don´t you know what your friends are doing? mr hulenkinis, i worked on the marlow case four years ago. why are you talking to me? -it´s my uncle´s lockup. it´s nothing to do with me. you were working here at the time. so? why did you go back to cyprus in ´91? -well, it is my home. why did you come back here? for money. where are you living? in my uncle´s house. -can you remember where you were at 2:00am last friday morning? well, asleep. where else? where? in bed. -at home? no, man, in the garden. and... 2:00am monday morning? look, i come here at 6:30 every morning. i leave at 7:30 in the evening. -when i go home, i sleep. of course. i don´t have a white van. i don´t drive. i don´t even have a licence. -reeboks? yeah. what size shoe do you take? nine. are those nines? -hello. hi help yourself to a drink. i´ll be out in a minute. do you want one? -yes yes please hi. when do you want to eat? sometime soon. er... do you want to pick something out? -i haven´t had time. i got really tied up with work. reading whitehouse´s book? no. i just dug that out this afternoon. -well, when did you buy it? i don´t know. soon after it came out, i think. before we met? yes. -why didn´t you tell me that you´d read it? why would i tell you? it was ages ago. we were talking about it. i got it out because we were talking about it. -i didn´t even know you when i bought it. but you´re reading it now? are you researching me? researching you? what are you talking about? -before we met, you read a book, and in it, i´m caricatured as a cold person obsessed by her career and turned on by murder. that description would turn any man off, except a therapist. is that why you´re interested in me? no. i´m interested in you because you´re paranoid. -now, get some food ordered, please. i´d like to watch a movie. you know, i have no doubt that we put away the right man. i´m sure you did. morning. -is the chief in? yes. he called in to say he wants to see you. good. morning. -what´s going on? last night... i had see a member of your team in here... complaining that you are not conducting this investigation... i hope you showed mitchell the door. no, i didn´t. -look, i´m investigating two murders, and he insists on investigating eight. how can you expect us to work together under that premise? i agree. it´s a very unsatisfactory situation, jane, and one which results in this sort of thing, which we can all do without. god, one of those bastards is leaking information! -i specifically asked for no details to be published. i´m taking you off the case. what? i´m getting a lot of pressure. who from? -it´s coming from the top. you´re doffing your cap to the most outrageous? i don´t have the argument to keep you on it. you´re vulnerable to accusations of not having an open mind. i can´t ignore that. -you know marlow is guilty. they are not my rules, jane. ah... who´s taking my place? mitchell. -he´ll be acting superintendent. mitchell is absolutely the wrong person. you must know that. he´s leading those lads down a false trail. if you don´t bring me back on the case, there´ll be no-one left to bring them back on line. -i went back to the lockup yesterday. yes. haskons told me. haskons? are you trying to humiliate me? -come on, jane! you should be defending me. i want you to look at these child protection budgets and give me a report on them by friday. i´ll sharpen my pencils. right, jason, bring andreas hulenkinis in and put him straight in the interview room. -colin, shoe prints. we´ve eliminated all but two: a size 8 reebok trainer and a size 10 man´s shoe with a flat heel. are we sure it´s an 8? no doubt about it. -hulenkinis is a 9. check it out. and check out the uncle too. in fact, bring him in as well. the van. -andy? no joy at all. nobody in the vicinity owns or has hired a white van, or has noticed one in the area. maybe it was stolen. there´s no other explanation why it was there. -none at all. any connection between hulenkinis and the van? not yet. right. catherine, perfume? -yeah. pearson´s sell 5,000 bottles of this gardenia stuff every year, but fortunately, none of the main retailers stock it, although they do have 415 outlets for their products throughout the country. now, 243 of them currently stock gardenia. right. this is the printout. -it´s mostly small chemists, beads and bangles sort of shops. we contacted all of them. they´re going to keep a record of purchases. i think we could be lucky. good. -well done. richard... christine´s abduction. she set off from her friend gemma´s house at five. ´scuse me. -walking along greystone road, here. she would then have turned left down church street, right down vincent road, taking her to her home in poplar avenue here. we´ve two possible sightings of her on greystone road, but nothing after that, so we´ve been trying to identify vehicles seen in the vicinity... around the time she set off home. at 5:00pm, a 60-year-old woman was pulling out of a parking space, causing, what she says was a uniformed policeman in an unmarked car, to suddenly stop. she thinks there was someone in the back seat, but she can´t give any description. -we haven´t been able to identify either the car - a silver saloon or hatchback - or the officer involved. but it would explain why christine might get into a car with a stranger, if that stranger was using his uniform to entice her in on some pretence. or we could be talking about a man impersonating a police officier. well, yeah. it´s unlikely that marjorie would get into a car if she didn´t know the driver. -yeah, well this is a lead we´ll have to follow to its conclusión, so i want to extend the investigation to all officers entitled to use the club. that´s the whole of the metropolitan police. you want the owners of silver saloons and hatchbacks. that will narrow the field. do we get a warrant to search hulenkinis´s house? -yeah. andy, jason, we´ll get that now. with a serial killer undetected, a police officer removed from the investigation, and the allegation of a cockup on a major case, you won´t be surprised to hear that the commissioner has had the home secretary on the phone, wanting to know what the hell is going on. i was... -in order to prepare... in the event of an appeal, i´m asking you, david, to look at the allegations into the marlow conviction on an informal basis and to report to me as soon as possible. yes, of course, sir. you´ll have access to everything you require. -and, confidentiality will be assured. i want a full and frank report. yes sir with respect, sir, this will be a complete waste of time. i was tennison´s super on that case, and i will tell you that we put away the right man. -i´m looking for an independent view, mike. if it´s the home secretary you want off your back, then david should be finding out who is leaking information to whitehouse. that´s the problem. that´s been taken up by the super at camden. is superintendent tennison to be informed of what i´ll be doing? -no. at this stage, i want everything off the record. and if i was to find evidence that points to a miscarriage of justice? the commissioner will inform the home office. yeah, of course. -and if there´s been no miscarriage of justice, but there there has been unprofessional behaviour in tennison? then i will certainly want to know about it. cheers. cheers. i´m afraid that i´ve got a confessión to make. -well, if it´s bad news, i don´t want to hear it. ok. well, what is it? well. when you went to sleep on the sofa last night... -oh, i´m sorry about that. oh, no. i... picked up your papers on marlow. my file? i know, i know. -i apologise. just bear with me for a minute. i think i may have found something very interesting. now... now, in the pathologist´s report on marlow´s last victim, karen... -karen howard. perfume was noted to be about her body. i made a copy of the page. unfortunately, it doesn´t mention what kind of perfume. how´s that supposed to help me? -i know, i know. now, this is a copy of the inventory of everything that was found in the lockup. there. "one bottle, empty, pearson´s scents of old england gardenia." oh, my god... -why wasn´t i aware of that? for the simple reason that it was found in della mornay´s handbag, and you´d have presumed it was her perfume. i then checked on the reports... on the four women who´d been killed up north. i quote... "a sweet and heady perfume was described as being on ellen harding´s body. " -now, she was a prostitute, so that´s not altogether surprising, but once you start piecing it all together... i´m sure there was no mention of a perfume in whitehouse´s book. no, there wasn´t. i checked. so these can´t be copycat killings. -i always thought that was unlikely. whoever´s doing it must have inside information. and who has access to that information other than you? well, anyone who´s got access to the file, which means any officer. of course, they could be getting the information from marlow himself... or from whitehouse. -that´s very unlikely. why? do you know him personally? no. well, obviously, i know who he is. -is marlow getting someone to kill on his behalf? even if he is, you still haven´t proved the perfume connection as yet. the more obvious conclusión is, wich is why i said it might be bad news, is that um you did get it wrong, and that eight murders have been committed that have absolutely nothing to do with george marlow. no, i´m not going to believe that. -i know you don´t want to, but... i got the right man, and now, it seems i´ve got to prove it all over again, so, you tell me, why would marlow have used the same perfume on his victims time and time again? jane, i´ve just told you what i think, but you´re not listening to me. come on, patrick, you´re the expert in all this. tell me, what am i looking for? -i don´t know, some traumatic event, something from childhood. such as? i don´t know, something unpleasant. it could be child abuse... patrick, why are you being so difficult? -no, i am not being difficult. i just don´t want to see you wasting your time. well, let me worry about that, so just tell me. all right. it´ll either be something... he witnessed or something that was done to him. -whatever it was, it´ll be... sexual in origin. thank you. but you still think i´m wrong, don´t you? so it would appear that the police have made a major mistake? -what it appears we are uncovering, michael, is yet another miscarriage of justice, and i heard this evening that the officer in charge of the investigation, and who was also in charge of the marlow investigation, has been taken off the case, which indicates that the police are coming to terms with the fact... that they put away the wrong man. have you actually met george marlow, mr whitehouse? yes, i have. many times. -in prison, presumibly. yes. he´s never given up hope that the truth... will one day come out and he´ll be released, and he will be. once the home secretary allows his appeal, the conviction will be quashed. i´m sure of that. -yes, i´ll make sure she gets the message. ok. thank you. goodbye. are these the budgets? -yes. what time is the chief´s first meeting? um... 10:30. guv, dci mitcheli´s just rung. he wants the marlow file urgently. -apparently you´ve got it. oh, shit. well, it´s at home. oh, no, it´s not. they need it this morning. -hi. this is dr patrick schofield. if you´d like to leave your name and number, i´ll get back to you as soon as i can. hi, patrick. this is mark whitehouse. -can you meet me in the lounge bar of the camden lock hotel this evening? i´ll be there from seven. thanks. hi, patrick this is mark whitehouse. can you meet me in the lounge bar of the camden lock hotel this evening? -i´ll be there from seven. thanks. have you interviewed this... andreas chap? yeah, we´ve had him in. -and takis, his uncle. their only alibi is each other. also, andreas wears a size 9 shoe. there´s no evidence yet to link either or both of them, but er... give us time. can you find anything to link either of them with marlow´s murders? -i can´t comment on that yet, but i´ve listened to whitehouse´s taped conversations with marlow´s former girlfriend, moyra henson. i wouldn´t like to give an opinion on her honesty, but what i can say... is that the more i open up tennison´s investigation of marlow, the more suspect it appears to be. i think it´s time to consider, if not assume, that you´re now dealing with victims number seven and eight. the four-year gap between the last two killings in ´91 and these two should certainly be investigated. we should be asking ourselves why these murders have now started again. -was the killer in jail from ´91, and has only just been released? has he been assaulting but not murdering women during that period? were there other victims but the bodies have not been found? if your investigation continues to ignore these possibilities, you could be making a very grave error. do you think we should open up the investigation? -yes, i do. tom? it´s always been my instinct to open it up, yeah. jane. i´ll be with you in a minute. -right. have we found out who´s been leaking information to whitehouse? i´m taking these home. did you manage to get the file? it´s on my desk. -ok, listen up. chief superintendent kernan and i have decided to open this investigation up to include the possibility of marjorie and christine being victims seven and eight... nice one! the first..... six previously attributed to george marlow. -this does not mean that marlow is necessarily innocent of those six murders. we have to look at everything, so i shall put a team onto finding out where our killer might have been... between ´91 and now. i want all serious non-domestic assaults on women in the london area since ´91 checked, all serious sex offenders who have done time in that period... and have since been released checked. that´s a hell of a lot of work for a long shot. it´s a hell of a lot of work, and i want you to head it. -we´ve got enough to do, checking the met. are you giving some more... there are no extra resources, so split your team in two. ok? let´s get on with it. -nice one, guv. richard? richard, thanks for coming. i´ve got to pick the kids up in half an hour. yeah, i know. -i´m sorry. look, i need something from you. can i trust you? of course you can. you told kernan about us going to that lockup together. -yeah. yeah, i did. i remember. so, can i trust you? yeah. -give me a cigarette, would you? look, i need to know what´s going on with this case. will you tell me? yeah. yeah. -mitchell´s brought in andreas and his uncle... for questioning, but there have been no charges, and he´s opened up the investigation to include marlow´s murders. well, i need to know who marlow associated with in prison and what happened to those men since they´ve been released. can you get that information for me? yeah, i can do that. -anything else? no. no, that´s all. i´d better go. ok -are you staying here? yeah. are you driving? yes. can i have a large whisky, please? -i´ll buy that. no, you won´t. that´s £3.80, please. mark whitehouse. thank you. -you´re expecting patrick schofield. he´s not coming. ah. i didn´t think this was a coincidence. well, shall we sit down? -sure. why did you write a book saying marlow was innocent when you know he´s guilty? i believe he is innocent. finding a cause célébre is very fashionable. i try not to be too cynical about police procedures and motives. -some of you have exposed miscarriages of justice, but your book is the most poisonous piece of rubbish i´ve ever read. well, thank you. why do you want to free a murderer who´s killed six women and on the most distorted piece of evidence? i actually came upon the story by chance. i was doing an article on life in a hospice. -one of the patients was moyra. we got talking and i became aware that here was a key witness in a murder trial, telling me the opposite of what she´d told the court. she told me the statements she made to you the police were made under duress, and that the evidence against george had been fabricated. what was i supposed to do with that information? go away and forget it? -so, i did some investigating, and where i could check her story, she was telling the truth. did you record your conversations with moyra? yes. do you still have the tapes? i have my own copy, yes. -can i hear them? of course not. what is your connection with patrick schofield? just that we share a mutual interest in miscarriages of justice. good night. -piss off. look... bloody hell! get in. get in. -how did you know where to find me? how was your meeting? what meeting? you want to be more careful. and how did you know that i? -an informal investigation into marlow´s murders has been requested. i´m telling you this in absolute confidence, you understand. now, i know you got it right, and i want you to know you have my support, providing you are careful about what you do and who you see. so, how did you know that i had a meeting with whitehouse? i was talking about your meeting with haskons. -just be careful, jane. and i haven´t told you this. hello? hi. it´s me. -how are you? i´m at the hotel. ok. i just wanted to give you a good night call. thanks. -so, were you asleep? um... yeah, almost. oh, i´m sorry. it´s lonely in leeds without you. it´s ok. -the lecture went very well today. good did you see kernan? why? i just wondered if you´d told him about the perfume. -why did you want to know that? there´s no reason. i was just interested. what´s the matter? are you ok? -i´m... i´m just tired, that´s all. i´m sorry. listen, i´ll let you go back to sleep. i´m going to be back about six tomorrow evening. -do you want to meet up? i won´t be here. why? where are you off to? i can´t tell you. -why? i can´t talk about it. are you going to be away all night? i... i might be. -i don´t know. will you call me when you do know? jane, are you there? why did you lie to me? why did i do what? -you know what i´m talking about. hello. why aren´t you at school? have you seen my mum? has she ever been late from the shops before? -no. where does your dad work? i don´t know. yeah. we´re in blenheim avenue. -he works at pluto plastics based in dunstable. he doesn´t live here. do you sometimes see your dad? yes. do you want us to contact him for you? -please contact pluto plastics. is your dad´s name matthews as well? yes. what´s his first name? james. -yeah, james matthews. pluto plastics in dunstable. her name is lynn matthews. dressmaker. works from home. -separated from her husband. one daughter. kate aged 12 we don´t know for certain that she´s been abducted, but no-one we have spoken to could give us any reason... as to why she would voluntarily have disappeared. if this is our man, and he follows the pattern of the other murders, -then we have three days to find her alive. can i help you? i´ve come to see doris marlow. they´re out for the afternoon. oh. -when will they be back? they´ve gone to a show on the front. who are you? my name´s jane. i´m a friend of the family. -you should have waited at reception. yes. i know. i´m sorry. there was no-one around so i just popped up. -it´s all right. i´ll... i´ll come back later. did you get anything? there´s nothing from the house-to-house. -what? has nobody seen anything? we´re doing the houses again this evening. why don´t we put the daughter on the tv? talk to her chaperone. -get checkpoints organised in denbury road and harrow street tomorrow. we should look at the prisoners marlow´s been with since he´s been inside. why? maybe marlow´s orchestrating these murders. this isn´t a priority. -rather than waste my time... just do as i bloody well say! see you later. got your programme? doris marlow? -yes. hello, doris. who are you? i´m jane. i´m a friend of your son, george. -oh, is it moyra? no, jane. oh, yes, jane. how nice! come and give me a kiss. -oh, cold cheeks. how are you? are you looking after him? george? oh, yes. -i really should be getting her onto the coach. he can´t visit me any more. yes, i know. do you mind if i have a few words with her? i´ve just come up from london and i´m only here for the day. -um... i´ll tell you what. i´ll finish getting the others in first. thanks. i´ll be back in a minute. -i thought you were dead. i bought you a present. oh, how kind! how nice! is george coming? -no. no, i didn´t think he was. no. he isn´t able to visit. i´m sure i know you. -do you like this perfume? i do know you. it´s gardenia. shall i open it for you? what´s it doing here? -it´s a present. now i remember. do you like it? have i had my tea? no. -do you like it? yes. frederick used to buy that for me. is frederick your husband? terribly naughty. -why? who´s frederick? every friday, down on the pier. more often than not. was frederick your lover? -oh, yes. did i? did i have an ice cream? no. i don´t know. -so, was this your special perfume? i´m sorry, but i have to get her on the coach now. is it all right if i take her out for tea? she said she´d like that. i´m not sure that would be allowed. -i´d have to check it out with the manager. i mean, we don´t know who you are. i know who this young lady is. i saw you there. she´s george´s girlfriend, a lovely girl. -you must have a lot of memories here. well, what do i know about that? with frederick. not frank. was it romantic with frederick? -well, we had our way here a few times, i suppose. secret liaison? when are you taking me back? did frank know? frank? -bonehead. did george know? what´s that to do with you? george is a very dear friend of mine. he wanted me to bring you out this afternoon. -i don´t expect this place has changed much. not here! why not here? not here! did george follow you here one night? -never marry. did george follow you here one night? frank got him up. his father sent him? take me home! -yes. all right, all right. how old was he then? he was always asleep when i left. take me home! -all right. all right, we´re going. frank got him up. a little boy, got him dressed and sent him here. i want to go home. -all right. all right, we´re going now. does he get his sweets? come in. thanks. -did you get my message? yes, i did. so, what´s the problem? good evening, madam. we´re enquiring into the disappearance of mrs lynn matthews in this vicinity sometime after 8:15 this morning. -hi what are you doing here? i was hoping you might want some company. if i want company, i´ll call you. so, why don´t you tell me what all this was about the other night? -i think you should go. what is this, jane? how´s your friend mark? mark? mark who? -mark whitehouse. i´ve no idea. i´ve never met him. why couldn´t you tell me what you were doing? what am i doing? -you tell me. i just told you, i´ve never met him. don´t give me that. i heard the message, patrick. "hi, patrick. -this is mark. " if you must know, i´m writing a book. oh, about what? she may be a lousy detective, but she´s a good shag? you shouldn´t listen to my messages. -that isn´t how i feel. well, how do you feel? i´m telling you... if you´d just shut up and listen. i was asked to write a book some time ago about why miscarriages of justice... why am i in this book if it´s about errors of judgment? -why are you? you´re not in this book. why have you got a file on me? research which i am no longer using. well, who is? -who´s what? who´s using the research? no-one is using the research. oh, come on! whitehouse is. -whitehouse has never seen that file. let me explain something to you. we both share the same publisher, and because of that, whitehouse has found out about... oh, patrick, you think i´m going to believe? he wants to write an article round it. -that´s why he left the message on my machine. i have never spoken to the man. i´ve been away. i haven´t even returned his call as yet. you understand what i´m saying? -how am i supposed to know if you´re telling the truth? well... sometimes you have to trust people. trust people? you must be joking. in my job, that´s an impossibility. -i´m telling you. you are never going to sort out any of your relationships until you find some way of separating your private life from your work. oh, "don´t take your job too seriously because you know you only want to get married"? oh, don´t insult my intelligence. you´ll never learn anything about yourself because you interpret everything anyone says about as a personal attack. -what is it with you? what is it? there´s some kind of machismo that´s driving you through everything that you do. it´s patently obvious that you don´t enjoy it, but you seem to be incapable of resisting it. do not talk to me as if i´m one of your psychos! -one of my what? ! i´m very tired and i want you to go, and i´ve gone off this idea of having each other´s keys, so, here you are, there´s yours back and i´d like mine back, please. ok. and, by the way, that´s the file that you´ve been so bothered about. -i thought i´d bring it round. today, i proved all over again that marlow did kill those six women. good, then you should be celebrating. i am. hmm. -you´ve got a visitor. what are you doing here? it can´t be business if you´re off the case. it seems like it´s only you and me left who know for certain you killed six women. no, thank you. -filthy habit. did you come all the way up here to tell me that? someone is copying your murders. i need to know who. how am i supposed to know? -who did you tell, george? how am i supposed to answer that? i know the women you killed were prostitutes, or you thought they were. these women aren´t. it´s a 53-year-old widow, a 16-year-old schoolgirl. -these aren´t women you meant to kill. is anyone going to convince you that i´m an innocent man? i know you´re being copied and i know you´re being copied by someone who has access to evidence that could only have come from yourself. what evidence is that? the killer souses his victims with perfume. -gardenia perfume. and? so did you, george. you must know that a third woman has gone missing. she´s a loving, caring, faithful woman. -tell me who´s committing these murders and stop him before she joins the list. for god´s sake, will you just accept that you made a mistake? give me the opportunity to go back to a court of law and prove it. i went to see your mother yesterday. what? -i went up to blackpool to visit her. you what? she´s an old lady. she´s a sick old lady. what did you say to her? -i had to see her because you won´t tell me the truth. what did you say? who´s killing them? what are you doing, seeing my mother? i took her for a walk on the seafront. -how dare you visit her? i took her to the pier. you see, i know, george. you bitch! who´s killing them? -if you´ve upset her... tell me, george. if you have upset her... ask me what i know about frederick. what did you see when your dad sent you down to the pier, george? -hmm? was she lying down? was he on top of her, legs in the air? or did he have her up against the railings? did she see you standing there? -was he laughing? did she try and pull her knickers up? did she shout at you to go away? let me out of here! was your dad pleased when you got home? -let me out of here! was he smiling? three sales reported, none in the london area, all negative. right. richard, anything there? -no. we´ve got the van. what size? yeah. yeah, ok. -all right. thanks. shit. it belongs to an art student in falmouth. she´d been to a party with her boyfriend and they´d stopped for a piss on the way home. -the boyfriend wears a size 8 reebok jogging trainer. that just leaves us with a size 10 shoe, a possible lift from the police club... and a possible sighting of a police officer in greystone road. how are we getting on with that list? still checking out the duty rosters. richard, um... you get your team back onto helping colin. -you can return to that work as soon as you´ve cleared everyone. is anyone checking out the list of cons that marlow´s been in contact with since he went inside? the police are certain that lynn matthews who disappeared from near her home in willesden has been abducted. at a news conference this morning... hello? -superintendent tennison? speaking. i have commander trayner for you. thank you. jane? -yes, sir? how long will it take you to get to my office? come in. do sit down. can you confirm that you visited george marlow in prison this morning? -i discov... can you please answer the question. yes, i did. marlow made a complaint to the governor that you interrogated him concerning an investigation from which you had been removed. i think, under the circumstances... -is that true? did you interrogate marlow... yes, i did. ...on a matter concerning an investigation from which you had been removed? this is not a discussión. -answer the questions directly as i put them to you. did you inform marlow that a certain perfume had been used on the bodies of christine bramwell and marjorie miller? yes, sir. are you aware of the fact that the officer in charge of the investigation, acting superintendent mitchell, had asked for that information not to be divulged? -no, that was my... just answer the question! yes, sir. marlow is now free to pass on that information to any journalist wishing to contact him. i don´t think he´ll want to give that... -will you shut up and listen? ! these are serious disciplinary matters. furthermore, marlow is taking his complaint to his member of parliament, the last thing we all wanted. and as for justifying your interference, may i remind you that you were taken off the case because your judgement has become clouded? -do you understand? yes, sir. i have absolutely no choice but to suspend you from all duties. please give me you warrant card. i shall, of course, vindicate myself at the earliest opportunity. -your suspensión starts as from now. hello? it´s richard, guv. i´m sorry to call you this early. what´s it about? -can i see you? not really, no. it´s important. where are you? opposite. -the phone booth opposite. oh, shit. all right, i´ll put the coffee on. thanks. oh, bloody hell. -well, you don´t look any better than i do. yeah, well, i´ve been working all night. right, what do you want? i´ve been working on that list of cons marlow has been in company with since he´s been inside. no.1 topped himself two years ago. -two´s a grass, now out of the country. three andrew... no, that was child offences. yeah. all no.4´s offences were homosexual, all in the ´60s and he´s now 71 years old. -five is our possible. raymond harding... i remember that name. he spent a year in the scrubs on b wing with marlow. his mother died a year ago. -lives alone in a house in cricklewood. have you told mitchell about this? yeah. he told me not to investigate. well... -so, you haven´t seen this man? no. well, you must. i feel out on a limb on this. this investigation´s a mess. -no-one´s got a focus on anything. we´re trying to cover too much ground. we don´t have enough officers. we don´t have enough time. we´re into the third day of this woman´s disappearance. -you don´t expect me to go with you, do you? mr raymond harding? yes. detective inspector haskons. i´d like to ask you a few questions. -can we come in? yeah. i´ll get him! ow! watch it! -get off! i was only holding it for a pal of mine. what have you got? every one of you who worked on that list has done a fantastic job. it´s something none of us like to do, but you´ve done it with superb professionalism. -now, we have five suspects. one is a superintendent, two are sergeants, and two are constables, one of whom is at this station. i don´t need to remind you of the sensitivity that is required. these officers are, if not your friends, your colleagues, and are, most probably, innocent. however, i want a thorough search in every case. -moyra. patrick! patrick, i need to talk! what about? can you get in the car? -why? what do you want to talk about? what the bloody hell are you doing? oh, i´m sorry. you can´t just stop in the middle of the street. -i said i´m sorry. i´ve got your number, arsehole. oh, shut up. you´re a witness to that. i didn´t see anything. -patrick, where does whitehouse live? oh, for... oh, please, can you find out? no. don´t you share the same publisher? -yes we do, but they don´t give out private numbers. if he can get your number, can´t you get his? of course, i told you but i´m not interested. now, i´d like to get these things inside. patrick, i need your help. -would marlow have used the same perfume on moyra? you mean like he used it on his victims? yes in her statement to me, she said that he once tied her up and humiliated her. well, it´s possible. -if she knew about it, who could she have told? you got a phone in there? yeah. morning. morning. -are you getting rid of her today? this is the third day, isn´t it? it´s only me who knows, and what am i going to do? i can´t do it. what can´t you do? -i can´t go on with it. where is she now? somewhere. she still alive? yeah. -yeah. why can´t you do it? i don´t... have any strength. yes, you do. you do. -you´ve got to dispose of her now you´ve got this far. you have to now. i can´t go down there. where? where she is. -well, what else can you do? i don´t know. i can´t think about it. you´ve got to think about it. is she in the house? -yeah. well... you can´t just leave her there. i´ll walk away. you don´t have to go on with this any more. but you´ve got to take care of this one. -then you can stop. what time do you clock off? i´m going home now. then do it now. go home and do it now. -it´s just another job that has to be done. then it´s over. ok i´ll do it now. are you sure you want me to come in with you? -yes. i´d be very careful in there if i were you or you´re going to find yourself out of a job. i´m out of a job anyway. i´m resigning. i won´t be long, love. -yes, all right. i´ll draw something like that. are you going to draw some more? come in. thank you. -so, what can i do for you? i´m sorry, this has nothing to do with me. jane wanted to ask you some questions, if that´s all right. in your conversations with moyra, did she ever confide in you that marlow sprayed his victims with perfume? of course not. -she always maintained he was innocent. i wouldn´t have written the book otherwise. but you knew about the perfume, didn´t you? which perfume? the special perfume that marlow sprayed his victims with. -i know about the gardenia found on the last two victims. are you trying to tell me marlow used it as well? yes, and we now know why he used it, so, did moyra tell you about the perfume? if you think you´ve found another way of rubbishing my book... i don´t give a toss about that piece of crap. -that´s it. i want you out. mark, mark, mark... moyra must have told somebody about the perfume. please, it´s important. -i think you´ve now got me under suspición. how can i take you seriously? if she didn´t tell you, who did she tell? why don´t you listen? i would not have written the book. -this is the third day that lynn mattews has been missing. we´re running out of time here. so, who else did she confide in before she died? she won´t do that, cos she don´t listen. she never do listen. -no. oh, i saw darren last night at the club. he´s a waste of space anyway. yeah, i know, but he´s not a prat. three ciders, right, wallop, wallop, wallop. -where was steve, then? oh, he was there. oh, yeah? what did he say? oh, he´s had his hair cut. -no! oh, honestly, you´ve got to see it. i mean, it´s just unbelievable. 5p change. there you go. -richard, let´s get working on that list of marlow´s prison contacts. guv, it´s detective superintendent tennison. we´ve got him! colin! richard! -andy! let´s go! that´s it. where is she? ! -upstairs? no! not in here! what´s this for? outside and down the steps. -it´s all right. we´re police. we´ve got an ambulance coming. there you go, love. you´re all right. -why did you start killing, len? hmm? did marlow persuade you? no. did he know it was you? -yes. couldn´t believe his luck. did things start going wrong three years ago when your wife left you? i don´t know. i started... to see things different. -what things? everything. you mean, like some of the men you were guarding, like marlow? maybe. is that why you used perfume? -did moyra tell you about the perfume? yeah. what did she tell you? she told me george used to s- spray it on... on their bodies. whose bodies? -the women he killed. why did moyra tell you that? she was lonely. when she used to visit george, the journey was very long and tiring for her. she was very ill. -i used to... put her up. we became friends, and she told me then. and then moyra died. yes. and then did you start thinking about what george did to the women? -yes. i wanted... to know what it felt like. and what did it feel like? hell. i felt like i´d fallen into hell. -so you did it again? yes. and again. yes. and are you still in hell? -yes. your removal from the investigation by chief superintendent kernan was correct in the circumstances known at that time. your behaviour subsequent to that action was, however, a serious breach of procedure and discipline, and, detective superintendent, you should have known better. the decisión to suspend you was, again, correct procedure, as you were and are well aware. -but, again, your behaviour subsequent to your suspensión was a serious breach of procedure an discipline. your standard of behaviour... is not the standard expected of a senior police officier. however due to your actions resulting in the satisfactory rescue of mrs linda matthews, the board have considered that your punishment will be taken no further than a reprimand. is there anything you wish to say? -no, sir. and? a perfectly-phrased bollocking. what about your resignation? oh, i forgot to mention that. -what? i knew you weren´t going to resign. oh, did you, smartarse? of course i did. anyway, i didn´t want you to. -yes, you do. you keep saying i´ve got to make a space for a relationship. i didn´t mean that kind of space. anyway, you´re not perfect. i didn´t say anything. -you´re a know-it-all and you analyse everything. we´re a perfect pair, aren´t we? how did you know i wasn´t going to resign? because i´m very clever. besides, we need the money. -i sat there watching them decide on my future, and i thought, "i should be making those decisions. " i fought all the bloody battles. oh, if it means working with people like trayner and thorndike, then i´ll just have to do it, won´t i? that´s good. we´ve got our amip anniversary tonight. -will you come with me? no. i´m busy. # soothing classical music terrific lady. -you might just be in line for a very good apology. have a good night. cheers. what was that about? was he talking about a promotion? -he´s drunk and he´s feeling guilty. i never told you but i got a visit from thorndike. when? just after you were taken off the case. why did he want to see you? -he wanted me to keep an eye on you. inform on me? he said he was very concerned about your welfare and your workload. that kind of thing. what he wanted to know was whether or not you thought you´d made a mistake about marlow and if you had, what were you going to do about it? -the slimy little shit! excuse me. good evening, gentlemen. having a nice time? david, do you fancy a dance? -i´d be delighted. did you hear about the results of my tribunal? yes. congratulations. it´s reassuring to know you have the support and the confidence of one´s colleagues. -know what makes you such an arsehole, david? you think that you have the right to go into my private life to discredit me. i´ve taken a lot of crap over the years, but, really, this time, you´ve surpassed it all. it didn´t work, did it? you see, i´m still here. -i´ve spoilt it for you. you can´t get rid of me no matter how hard you try. jane, no-one has ever had any intention of getting rid of you. how have things been treating you? nice to see such a fulsome embrace into the fold, david. -no hard feelings. certainly not on my part anyway. computer: please wait for full stop. sea deck. -thank you for riding mag-lev. hello? (gasps) darwin. i was told there was a medical emergency in here. -no. no, emergency. darwin wants to talk to wendy. is it just me, or are you behaving more strangely than usual, hmm? no. -darwin just wants to say... all: surprise! (all clapping) (all chattering) -you look really surprised! we did it! oh, wow! oh, thank you. happy birthday, wendy. -i didn't have any real ones. oh, dagwood, thank you. these are much better than real flowers. thank you. lucas: -didn't you know? didn't you... didn't you sense we were planning a party? no? no, of course not. -you know i don't scan anybody's thoughts without their consent. well, in that case, we need to tell you what we've been thinking out loud. on behalf of the officers and crew of seaquest, i have been requested to give a very long speech so that they'll have time to prepare the refreshments. (all cheering) -man: good stuff. nathan: here we are. happy birthday, wendy. -wendy? what was that? what was what? (gasping) wendy, what is it? -(groaning) what's happened? did you sense something? well, stand back, stand back, everybody stand back. give her some air. -it felt like a psychic power entering the world, a thousand times more profound than anything i've ever felt before. (people chattering) will the security committee please come to order? section seven has something important to bring to our attention. general reed. -yes. (sneezes) oh, something's happening! (menacing laughter) you think you can stop me? -you think you can plot against me and survive? i am the avatar of your dreams. i am your beginning and your end. you have tortured me and mine for many a year, and now your time has come. your sins shall be avenged. -join me in hell! get a medic! (women chattering) captain bridger and staff to see the secretary general. he'll see you in just a minute. -man on pa: naval operation meeting scheduled for 0900 hours has been postponed until 1300 hours. why is everyone staring at us? they know she's a spyer. a what? -a psychic. someone who can spy on your mind. they're afraid. they're afraid. there have been at least five attacks in the past two days. -he always calls himself the avatar. apparently it's some sort of hindu name. it means a god who appears as a man. especially a god who is the destroyer or rebuilder of worlds. nathan: -and all the victims end up in comas? mcgath: yes. it's as though their conscious minds have been erased. the press is calling them psychic assassinations. -this can't be the work of a psychic. i mean, part of what makes us psychic is the empathy we feel for other people. i mean, to cause this much terror would torture a psychic doing it. mcgath: we don't even know where these powers come from. -all that we know is that since the late 1990s, people of psychic power have been growing more numerous and more dangerous. dangerous? that's absurd. i know that you would never harm anyone. i couldn't if i wanted to. -all i can do is scan conscious thoughts, and maybe bend a spoon if i really have my concentration. that's all any psychic i've ever met can do. mcgath: not anymore. you should have seen what happened here. -he was obviously a psychic, and he sure as hell was after us. and we have got to stop this avatar now. and how do you propose to do that? i ordered you to come directly from seaquest so you wouldn't hear the news, because i wanted to assure you it does not apply to you. oh, boy, here it comes. -the security committee has asked all known psychics to report to camp arnold for internment. they will be tranquilized with drugs known to suppress psionic powers until the crisis is resolved. you can't do this. it's against civil rights. it's like interring the japanese in world war ii. -we're fighting for our lives here. and it's not just the ueo. the non-member states are doing it as well. ford: oh, man, this stinks. -but i wanted to assure you, i wanted you to know, that the order does not apply to psychics with ueo security classifications, and that includes you. why? because you're hoping i can help you? you sensed his power. -only briefly, but you sensed it, and that is more than anyone else has been able to do. if you want the roundup to stop, help us catch him while there is still time. i'll need all the information that you have. i'll meet you at the guest house this afternoon. and, please, work as quickly as you can, for your sake as well as mine. -(panting) man: good boy! come on! woman: -great. (laughs) i want to check up at the house. come on. here, boy. -come on, buddy! come on! come on, boy, come on. come on. wendy: -"ueo rounds up spyers." you know, from the time we were kids, we've dreaded that the day would come that people's fear of psychics would turn into rage, and now it has. well, people are always afraid of what they don't understand. i don't even understand it myself. all i know is i've always felt like a freak. -please. you're not a freak. you know how they discovered i had powers? i was eight years old, and i was scoring perfectly in my spelling tests. but then they started testing me with nonsense words, and i got all those right, too, because i was reading the answers right out of their minds. -and once they realized what was happening, i could also read their fear. and their repulsion. there's a poem by edgar allan poe that could have been written by a psychic. "from childhood's hour i have not been -"as others were "i have not seen as others saw "i could not bring my passions from a common spring. "from the same source i have not taken "my sorrow, i could not awaken -"my heart to joy at the same tone "and all i loved, i loved alone." wendy, have you taken a look at our crew lately? lucas, technological genius. darwin, a dolphin who'd rather live with humans. -piccolo has gills. every one of us, a stranger, alone. woman on pa: captain, the secretary general has arrived. thank you. -we'll be right there. you ready? yeah. what is it? oh, i just feel strange. -(gasps) i don't want this! what's happening? i think there's an energy flow entering the building, and because i'm sensitive, i'm able to rechannel it. it has to be the avatar. -it wants mcgath. come on! get commander ford. it's happening again. mcgath! -i warned you not to try and stop me. you think your puny friends with their tiny little powers could ever hold me back? no! get out of my way. (shouts) -join me in hell! (thud) (door opens) secure the room. look out, it's a spyer! -stop her! take the left! you, follow me! (dog barking) manheim: -move, move, move! hey! what do you think you're doing? let go. let go! -that spyer attacked mcgath. jealous of what? oh, you're not still into david? what, i'm-l'm going to the party, aren't i? david and i are friends. -right, and if he wants to drool all over his neighbors, then... that'd be his business. please, clare, like you haven't noticed, every time steve is up at that house, his eyes practically pop out of his head. no, they don't. do they? -well, steve and i have this arrangement. looking's fine; touching ain't. all right. so, um, what time are we heading up to the party? -you guys go without me-- i told david i would stop at my mom's and pick up some bowls. they're serving food? apparently, they're going all out. david said they're serving pretzels and potato chips. wow. -this is gonna be some party. yeah. i heard it's supposed to be, like, 103 today. no way-- not in the hills. all right, well, 97, then, if we're lucky. -wait. look at that. what? over there. it's a deer. -oh, my gosh! you know, it's getting rarer and rarer to see deer up in these hills. my dad, he always says if you spot one it's really good luck. well, we must have double good luck, 'cause there's another one. -oh! you know, i've never seen a baby deer so close before. they must come down here looking for water in this heat. mm. maybe they'll come to david's with us and have a brew. -oh, they're so beautiful, aren't they? it's amazing they can even survive up here. well, it's like everyone else trying to make it in this town-- they start out innocent, but sooner or later they'll claw their way to the top. clare, they're animals. who isn't? -oh... oh... how cute. look. one more time! -here we go! one... two... three! hey! watch it! hey, you watch it, or you're next! -hey. hi. i was afraid you wouldn't show up. oh, and miss this elegant gathering? mm-mm. -ah, good- mark's been asking about you all week. oh, he has? yep. what has he been saying? -oh, same thing he said last week and the week before that and the week before that. he says he keeps asking you out, and you keep telling him it's not the right time. well, you know what they say: timing is everything. speaking of timing, i just came up with the perfect margarita blend. -oh! david, i am so proud of you. now you're gonna have something to fall back on. hey, guys! hi, mark. -hey, mark. out of ice already? nah, i'm just thinking ahead. they're drinking like fish out there. at 1 1 :00 in the morning? -that is quite a party. it's got promise. it's got promise. come on, let's go get a drink. you sure about that? -lemonade, brandon-- i wouldn't want your friends to think i was a lush. lemonade, the cool, refreshing drink... on the other hand, even if i got plastered, i don't think anyone would notice. i don't think they would, either, baby. cocktails right this way. a fried bacon and tomato sandwich? -hey, silver. hey, what's up, steve, boy? what's up? hey, give me a sip of that. mmm! -you make a hell of a margarita, dave. thanks. tell me, my friend, who are those girls? ooh... those are my new neighbors, nina and teresa. -couple of hotties-- aren't you lucky. so, uh, why don't you introduce me. i'll be your slave for life. steve, what about clare? she'll be your slave, too. -who are all these people? i don't know. they sure look like they're having a good time. that guy is totally smiling at me. so smile back. -uh, i have a boyfriend, remember? so, tell him to smile at me. maybe he is smiling at you. look at him, right there. dick harrison? -you know him. no, i don't. you don't? i thought all you brainy types hang out together. he's a genius-- phi beta kappa, like you. -hm. i guess i'll have to stop slumming. ha-ha-ha! what, you think he's cute? not bad for a genius. oh, he's coming. -hi. hey, donna, how you doing? hey, dick. how are you? fine, fine, thanks. -actually, i was hoping you'd introduce me to your friend here. i'm dick harrison. hi. i'm clare arnold. oh, the chancellor's daughter? sorry. -oh, no, don't be-- i took your dad's economics seminar-- he's a riot. yeah, in a painfully boring kind of way. yeah, i guess you could say that. yeah, well, dick and i were on intergreek council together, so, uh... oh, really? what house were you in? -beta gamma beta. well, nobody's perfect. that's the, uh, last line in my favorite film. some like it hot. yeah. l-l'll bet you a drink you can't remember who said it. -joe e. brown. funniest guy in the '50s. that's right. do you want to dance? actually, i'm looking for my boyfriend, so... -your boyfriend? yeah. sorry. well, nobody's perfect. you must be david's neighbor. -hi. yeah, i'm teresa; i live next-door. i'm steve. you know, i was just gonna go over to the bar and get something to drink-- you want something? -yeah, sure. can you do me a favor first? sure. i can't reach my back. sure. -how's that? perfect. some states, you need a license for a massage like this. yeah, well, actually, i have a license on my bedroom wall at home. that's funny. -you're funny. excuse me. are you steve sanders? hey, clare. hi. -hi. i'm teresa. hi. it was nice to meet you, teresa. you, too, steve. you really are funny, you know that? -yeah, a regular conan o'brien. come on. i don't know why, but i'm giving you a second chance. well, you should; i deserve it. -no, you don't. i do. shut up and kiss me anyway. hello. hi. -sounds like i woke you. you did. what time is it, anyway? it's almost noon. i can't believe i slept that long. -mmm. listen, are you free today? no. i told you, i have to go to that party. will you do me a favor? skip it. -i really need to see you this afternoon. did you talk to her?

well, i cut one of the limbs off, counted the growth rings. how else? -oh. so you're funny and smart. not to mention cute. you're despicable. clare. -don't even. no, you don't understand. gee, sorry. okay, i think i got it. donna went out with david before he went out with clare, and then clare went out with steve, and then after clare, david went out with valerie, who lives in your house, but she's not here. -how am i doing? perfect. so, the only one i haven't met is your former ex, kelly taylor. or one of your former exes. -she's right over there. thanks, man. the one with mark? she's not with mark, she's just talking to mark. conversing casually, you know. -excuse me. you're excused. come on, let's dance. oh, no, no, no, no. i only dance at night and only the macarena. -macarena and cheese, i like mine with a little salsa mixed in. hey, brandon. hey, muntz! how you doing, my man?

she's just as miserable as i am. she wants a change, too. i really think this is gonna work out in the best possible way. well, of course it could happen, if you want it to. -oh, you know it is. mmm. you smell great. what is that? it's honey dust. -i sprinkle it on, and you lick it off. ooh. mmm. i love it. where do you learn all these things? -well, i'm self-taught. it's amazing all the things you know that my wife doesn't. you better believe it. so what'd they say? they're not evacuating this canyon yet. -well, my car was one of the last ones let up the hill. they're only, uh, letting residents up now. listen, before you guys go, can you help me get these people out of here? i don't want a mob scene. yeah, sure. -yeah, no problem. hey. i don't really want to be in another fire. kel, why don't you just take whoever doesn't have a ride and get out of here, huh? okay. -is she okay?

i know, i know, i know, okay. all right, you're all gonna have a major rain check or fire check or something. but just be careful getting out of here, okay? -and if anybody had too much to drink, find a designated driver. thank you for coming out. i'll give you a lift, all right?

"thy kingdom come, "thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven..." help us! -help us! kelly, are you okay? no, i'm not okay. what's the matter? nothing. i ha-have a small problem with fires in case you don't remember. -yeah, yeah. yeah, i'm sure this must be very upsetting.... save it, brandon. you know what, kel, why don't you just go home and we'll talk about whatever's bothering you later, okay? we have nothing to talk about. -why are you mad at me? you don't know? no, i don't know. the night of the fire, brandon, i needed you and you weren't there. i can't forget that! -i'm not asking you to forget it. you know, you always thought that i was mad at you because i thought you were off sleeping with emily valentine. but that wasn't it, it was you! it was me? uh-huh. -you. the person i needed most in this world was not there for me. you know what, kelly? i've apologized to you about this until i'm blue in the face. i can't change it, -can i? ! no, you can't. i gotta go. drive safely. -i'll talk to you later. kelly? i thought you were leaving. i'm trying to. so what's stopping you? -i'm scared to go, but i'm scared to stay, you know? well, i'll make it easy for you. move over. i'll drive you home. you... -it's your house. i know, it's just a house. you're more important. you mean that, don't you? of course i do. -go on back. i'll be fine. okay. hey, you got more hoses? there's one on the side of the house and two up front. all right, bro. -i got the front. i'll take the side. give me one of those. kel, what are you still doing here? go home. -brandon, i need to do this, all right? no, you don't. get out of here! give me the hose. fine. -guys, let's go. let's get a line started at the top of this ridge. chainsaws up front. let's move it. hey, hey, we're losing pressure. -yeah, here, too. the fire department must have every hydrant on the hill going. we have a sump pump for the pool. we can switch to that. yeah, let's do it. -oh, yeah? all right, i'll get it. no, stay here. i'll get it. does this mean you forgive me? -no, it means you're a hoser. who's the owner of this property? uh, my father is, but i live here. sir, it's my obligation to inform you that you're in the path of a dangerous fire. it's the recommendation of the los angeles fire department that all residents evacuate immediately. -well, is there some law against us staying here? no, sir, it's not, but could i have the name of your next of kin, please? look, this is your last chance to leave. we're gonna be running hoses across the street. well, i'm sorry, i'm not leaving, okay? -we're staying, sir. all right, just don't try to be heroes. we'll cover you the best we can. be careful. and good luck. -hey, maybe we should go. this could be a big mistake. we need more personnel on the line! of all the brushfires that are blazing across the southland on this hot, windy day, the one that poses the greatest threat to expensive homes in the area is in the hollywood hills. reporter gail reichenberg is on the scene. -gail. we're up on deronda drive, harry, just a stone's throw from the famous hollywood sign. as firefighters combat the encroaching blaze, courageous area residents stand on rooftops. they're desperately trying to wet down as much as they can before sparks fanned by these high winds ignite their expensive hillside homes. no structures have burned yet, but the fire department warns that fires like this are unpredictable. -we've been told that in situations like this many residents need to go back home, or feel they need to go back home to retrieve family heirlooms or pets... where have you been? i don't feel so good. some help you are. shut up, steve. -has anybody seen donna around? yeah, she's outside with clare. they're having trouble with the sump. hey, can i get you a shot of tequila? that's very funny. -the sump's down again. mark said there's more gas in the garage. okay. clare. clare, come here! -what? look, it's the same deer. so much for good luck. poor thing. i wonder where its mother went. -to get a pedicure? clare, this isn't funny. i'm worried. a baby deer out in the woods alone during a fire. it could get killed. -don, you've seen bambi too many times. i'm sure it's fine. can you imagine how scared she is out there all alone? it's an animal. it lives "out there." -no, you don't understand. no, i guess i don't. well, now you look presentable. did i get all the honey dust off my face? yes, you look great. -i wish you didn't have to go back to the office. it's saturday. don't remind me. well, you better go before you're late. you sound like a wife. -you sure don't kiss like one though. i love you. hmm, i love you. don't make any plans tonight, okay? why not? -because we are spending it together. all night? all night, baby. well, you better hurry home. i will. -okay, we're getting a break here. the wind's shifting out. looks like you guys are gonna make it. all right! save your water, though. -clare, kill the pump. all right, is everybody okay? are we all accounted for? yeah, yeah, i think so. where's kelly? -she's inside. i just saw her. what about donna? i don't know. i haven't seen much of her all day. -well, that's because she's been playing nursemaid to the town drunk. that's very funny, steve. oh, my god. she was worried about this baby deer down the hill. great, clare. -she didn't go after it, did she? i don't know. well, when's the last time you saw her? like, a half an hour ago. that hillside's covered in brush. -it could go up anytime. yeah, we should split up and go look for her. there's a hook and ladder down the street. i'm gonna go tell 'em we're missing somebody. okay, i'm going. -now who's more helpless, you or me? don't just stand there, scream for help. help! help! that was effective. -i guess we just have to wait it out. hope someone finds us before it gets dark. hello. valerie, valerie, i thought i'd missed you. i was just picking up some dinner. -oh. oh, dinner. what's going on? uh, what? well, you sound completely weird. yeah, well, i've just been on the phone with my lawyer for the last hour. -about what? it's not gonna be as easy as i thought. so what's that supposed to mean? well, it means that her lawyer is on the warpath already, and my lawyer doesn't want me to do anything foolish. so that means me? -i don't know. l-l-l don't know. why are you so angry? i'm not angry! honey, it's just, it's just not going down the way that i thought. -i mean, i could lose everything. excuse me. you need to sign these here and here. i just, i wasn't prepared for this. what did you think was gonna happen? -certainly not this. so we're off for tonight, aren't we? for tonight, unfortunately, yes. can you handle that? no, i can't. -help! we're down here! help us! your mother must be worried about you out here all alone in the hills. you're gonna be fine, okay? -we're gonna be fine. help! are you sure she just didn't go home? no, her car's still at the house. well, maybe she caught a lift down the hill. -man, this is all my fault. i should have been looking out for her. hey, hey. look, all right, i got some guys working their way back up the hillside, all right? if she's on that hill, they'll spot her. -how bad is it down there? well, let's just say if the wind shifts, that brush is gonna go. plus, that smoke is really thick. but don't worry, we're gonna find your friend. come on, let's go back to the house. -i'm never getting drunk again. i'll hold you to that. you don't have to. help! somebody help! -keep clearing that brush, guys. over here! we're down here! wait! hey, you hear that? -help! we hear you! just a second! we're coming down! help! -this way! help! over here. over here, we're over here! come on, guys! -boy, am i glad to see you. really glad. are you hurt? what? oh... -yeah, my knee, my knee hurts really badly. what are you doing down here? the fawn, she lost her mother. i was just trying to get her out. well, what do you say we get you two out of here? -if you just put your arms around my neck and hold on tight, i'll get you out. -okay. so, what's your name? donna, donna martin. cliff yeager. -it's really nice to meet you. fire crews in the hollywood hills report that the last hotspot is finally under control, and that cleanup operations are underway. but these firemen are going to have a very long night. thank god it's over. any word? -no, they're still looking for her. they'll find her. uh, they, they already did. well, harry, at least one of our stories today has a happy ending. this is donna martin, a california university senior, who risked her own safety to rescue our very own real life bambi. -donna, tell us what happened. well, it wasn't really a big deal. and the truth is, if anyone deserves the credit, it's him. he's your local hero. excuse me, sir, what's your name? -cliff yeager. firefighter cliff yeager and donna martin. two reluctant heroes whose selfless actions under the circumstances point out the very best instincts in human nature. i guess some girls will do anything to get a date. well, come on, guys. -dinner's on me. well, that's the least you could do after we saved your house from burning, huh? you got it. good. i'm hungry. hey, nat! -kelly? yeah? can i ask you something? sure. i know you used to go out with brandon and i was wondering why you guys broke up. -as far as i can tell, he's perfect. nobody's perfect. i couldn't have said it better myself. quite a night tonight, huh? i saw donna on tv. -she gonna be all right? yeah, yeah, she's fine, david's on his way over to the hospital to pick her up right now. so, who's the pretty lady? oh, you, i'm sorry. this is c.u.'s anchorwoman, tracy. -tracy, nat, nat, tracy. nice to meet you. nice to meet you. he said i should get the megaburger. sure, the first one's always on me. -just like a drug dealer, gives you the first one for free, charges you second for the double-- what? oh, my god! you should have been there, it was awesome! fire raged all around us. it was like the classic battle: -man versus nature. good versus evil. we fought and we won. awesome. don't worry. -you'll probably only have to listen to this story for about two more centuries. excuse me, i think five times is probably enough for me, considering i was there. is it me or is she icier than usual? it's me. clare! -come on, knock it off. what's the big deal? all you ever do is screw up and say you're sorry. this time, you didn't even have the decency to say you were sorry. how long are you going to punish me, huh? -i'm sorry, okay? no, it's not okay. for months now, all we ever do is fight and make up, fight and make up. it's like a game; i'm sick of it. -are you saying you want to break up? yeah, that's what i'm saying. hi. hi. listen, about before... -no, forget it. no. no, it's fine. don't worry about it. hey, man. -hey, you got any quarters? i'm playing kelly's favorite songs. oh, boy, here you go. thanks. listen, uh, just for the record, i know you and kelly have a history together and i just kinda wanted to clear things with you before... -you want to ask her out. well, actually, i already did. you okay with that? absolutely. kelly's a big girl. -she can make her own decisions. all right, cool. did you miss me? yeah, what was that all about? what, you mean me and brandon? -no, nothing, it was just some talk. just some newsroom stuff, that's all. right. okay, actually, the truth is, i told him that we were gonna go out. oh, and we need his permission to do that? -that's funny. that's what he said. well, brandon is a smart guy. i'm gonna ask you one more time. do you want to have dinner with me tomorrow night? -hmm, i don't know. i'd have to ask brandon first. brando? yeah. they look kind of chummy, don't they? -so? 25 years ago, i let joanie slip away. don't make the same mistake. yeah, yeah, i'll see ya, nat. take it easy. -it's just a sprain. yeah, i know. but i've got a lot to make up to you. well, thanks for coming to get me. i'm just trying to salvage a horrible day. -well, you're doing a good job now. there you go. i just want you to know that, uh, you can count on me as a friend. that's sweet of you, david. thank you. -thank you for taking care of me. do you want to stay for awhile? you know what, uh, will you be okay by yourself? yeah, sure. great, i got to get going; -i need to get some sleep. are you sure you'll be okay? i'm positive. good night. good night. -i'll talk to you tomorrow. okay. come on in. valerie, hi. hi. -your secretary said you were working late. it's saturday night. doesn't diane mind? this is not a good time, honey. well, it won't take long, i just thought maybe you should be the first one to know. -know what? what? i'm pregnant. here's the little test. it's amazing how simple it is. -blue if you're pregnant. pink if you're not. you'll notice it's bright blue. daddy. it shouldn't be here. -moving on to fciass star at right ascension 7.36.7. 5.21 declination. i thought that was the iast one. why'd you think that? -you said that it wouid be. i distinctly remember forgetting that. i don't know why i put up with this. i do. because i let you drive. -i'm a rideshare hostage. fciass star. recent variability. 14.6 iightyears away. this is nuts anyway. -the whole approach. seti's tough enough on microwave band. now you want to search fm? with all that noise? might as well look for a needle in a haystack of needles. -station five. zane? calvin's holding me up. 1:30. tuesday? -wednesday? a.m.? p.m.? what can i say? i'm a rideshare hostage. -i'm going to go pee. i will try to where are you? i'm having a drink with becky. while i'm here working? -there's a cute hockey player here too. but he's only in town for one night. aii right. i give up. what do you want? -zane. okay. i'ii leave now if you leave now. but do not talk to any strangers on the way out. okay? -swear you'ii be there? i don't want a repeat of last week. i will. end of story. there is nothing more important to me right now than our -there is nothing more important to me right now than our good solid spike. nice symmetry to the modulation. detection protocol. now! -confirmation phase one. swing dish five degrees off axis. and signal fades. looking good. now swing dish back on target. -you are howling. phase two! initiating software check. jumping ahead to phase three: second source verification. -who's still on iine? green bank? ohio state? moffet field! checking. -still checking. be there. just be there. we got to get another ear on this. software seifchecks. -phase two complete. moffet. you're killing me. i'm dying here! just pick up the phone so we can confirm this. -nothing. zaminsky! zaminsky! this is not valet parking! stalled out on me. -stalled on me! this piece of sir. sorry. that's it? fortytwo seconds. -we listened all night. and the sound never repeated. nonearthbased signal! gordy. like a military burst communication. -no way. no way. not at 107 megahertz. 107? what the hell are you doing so far below the microwave? -good question. this wolf 336? 14.6 iightyears away. aii right. okay. -it expands and contracts dramatically. maybe you can explain to me how intelligent life can actually develop in such a volatile environment. it's only been unstable for what? fifty years or so. which means it's possible some form of iife could still exist there. -exactly. maybe this is a distress call. an s.o.s. maybe they're sending out their encyclopedia gaiiactica jettisoning all their knowledge before it goes down with the ship. and it never repeated. -in case it does. i'ii pull double shifts. i'ii pull triple shifts if i have to. but i want priority status and dish time. serious dish time. -preferably. okay? go ahead. it's a mandatory 20% cutback. tracking station has a fixed operating cost. -i can't touch that. i've got to look at personnel. are you even shitting me? instead of two weeks. but -let me see if i got this straight. i come to you i come to you with what may be the preeminent discovery of the 20th century: the possibility of extra solar life. and i get shitcanned for it? -i know how important this is. but searching for e.t.s in this political environment is a tough sell on capitol hill. we're going to lose it. let's forget about me for a second. what about the signal? -i'm skeptical. but it is interesting. i'ii pass it along to decoding. but i don't have to tell you. -you know the rule. if you can't confirm it then it doesn't exist. what asshole made up that rule? can we fire him instead? it doesn't please me to be losing the brightest and the best. -i wish there was another way. i honestly do. it is finally cooling off in the southland after a day of near record temperatures. but hot again tomorrow and hot again on thursday with no letup i couid -no. there's a seti program up north. was begging me to come up. might call him. are you? -we had a bell ringer this morning. really good signal. i just couldn't confirm it in time. you had something really good last year too. turned out to be what? -a broken microwave oven. what's your point? there's always something to give me false hope? that i'm wasting my iife? i didn't say that. -it's interesting that you did. come on. someone is watching. what? how in the hell did i wind up with somebody like you? -i got tired of rich guys with good futures. no. really. what is it you see in me? what made you call me the first time? -when their self worth goes i see a man of great intelligence cute little kind of insecurity. a little paranoia this went to shit fast. why do we always have to analyze everything? can't you trust i iove you? -algorithms i trust. boolean logic i trust. they just mystify me. two years and we're still talking about trust? it's amazing. -huh? it's your career. i will support any decision you make. but if we are going to make it we've got to take care of our problems here on planet earth. that is just a little hard when you're always off looking at the stars. -listening. listening. char? zane. are we? -how'd you do on the test? how'd you do on the test? i'm saying it's incomplete. there's no chemical breakdown. there's no broadband chart analysis. -want me to go on? that information isn't available at this time. this information was promised me two months ago. these are not national secrets. this is a routine analysis of the atmosphere. -why should i there's a problem with that satellite. it's blind to certain trace gases. really? as of when? -it lost a solar panel. some functions were shut down to save energy. here's my problem. i've devoted my sabbatical to greenhouse trace gases. i might as well be counting cow farts in montana. -you'ii have to wait until the new satellite is in place. when's the launch date? nasa doesn't have that information. round and round we go. thanks for naught. -moffet field. man? zane. hi. but i felt obligated to let you know about a job offer that came up. -telecommunications. looks pretty sweet too. you know. zane. i don't think things are going to work out here. -but i thought you were looking for radio astronomers? some good creative thinkers? isn't that what you said? creative's one thing. too creative's another. -i'm not tracking. i'm not sure i should be saying this. i talked to phil gordian at j.p.l. the indication was just say it. he said you were faking signals in order to keep your job. -i do believe this permit's expired. why haven't you? to raise the temperature of the planet tenfold to raise the temperature of the planet tenfold to change the atmosphere into one suitable to colonization to construct farms and cities and build an infrastructure capable of supporting thousands of colonists. make no mistake. -never before have we undertaken a task have we undertaken a task of this size. the terraforming of mars. do you know who phil gordian is? the key to all of this is polar ice. -enough heat generating factories could be built. the heat would be enough to melt excuse me. but perhaps you'd care to use the microphone? i would. -thanks. phil gordian? has anybody seen him? i'm looking for phil gordian. anybody seen phil gordian? -zane. why don't we step outside? let him finish. did you even give it to decoding? did you even see what was there? -why don't we take this outside? i want my tape back. i'm sorry. i don't know what you're referring to. why don't you show me how smart you are by leaving right now? -huh? what are you doing this for? back it up. let's go. why are you telling them lies about me? -now! let's go! why? come on. let's go. -why? i'm sorry. he's a troubled young man. a very troubled young man. my apologies. -please. continue. where was i? polar ice. after the polar ice has been melted the atmosphere begins to grow thicker. -a kind of critical mass is reached. the atmosphere begins to work for us. station five. tell me i'm not losing my mind. where are you? -they're acting like it never happened. i saw gordian. it's like we never gave him any tape. zane but then i remembered. it should be on the backup dat system. -we should have a copy of the signal. yes and no. there are some d.o.d. guys here going through our stuff as we speak. it was a burst from a spy satellite. what? -it's a defense thing. which is probably why gordian couldn't tell us about it. we weren't cleared for this spy shit. listen to me very carefully. satellites do not move like stars move. -okay? but i do know they're lying to you. is this everything? don't! we have it all? -cal! don't you dare! there there's a backup system. hey. -why was it moving like a star? not really sure. we'ii have to get back to you on that. it's a very aggressive company. with the federal mandate for air bags -it's a very aggressive company. with the federal mandate for air bags they are perfectly positioned to dominate the market for years. blade co. technologies. aii right. -i'ii send you a prospectus. are you at the same address? ten minutes? so i get this signal. how about 5:00? -signal from an f class. 5:15. like our sun but hotter. first they act like it's nothing. great. -thanks. now they're going to unimaginable pains to make it disappear. i thought you had a new job. char. why the hell would they do that? -what is it they're trying to hide? maybe we could talk later. i need to talk about this now! i called last night twice. i got the messages. -i thought the problem was i wasn't around enough. tales from the dark side? i have been avoiding this. yes. okay. -define "this." the brokerage is strongly suggesting i head up the office in san diego soon. it'd mean moving there. can you tell them no? thank you. -i tell you i'ii support any career decision you make. but when it comes to my work you're considering this? it's mr. morgan on iine five. and? i got to take this. -by any chance is he going to san diego also? why don't you stick your paranoia back in your pants and get out of here? i will call you. fine. no problem. -when? whenever i get to it. "tuesday? wednesday? a.m.? -p.m.?" go! right now. they could be talking to us right now. an array. -phased array. mr. carbiner. i'm horace with your local satellite company. good morning. can i see your dish? -what a glorious morning. hot enough for you? we're offering a free upgrade on a totally automated fiber optic control system. aii this at no extra cost to you. no extra cost to you. -one of the many ways we're improving the quality of service to our customers. can i see your dish? jesus! what are you doing here? and how soon can you leave? -what are you doing here? i iive here. do you mind? i mind you grabbing on me. let go! -i'm trying to help you down. i can do it myself! my butt is stuck. you live next door. with mrs. rooseveit. -that it? i iive in i.a. just kicking it here a minute. i don't want anybody nosing around here. it wouid be over and done. what do you know about my stuff? -what are you doing climbing roofs at 1 :00 in the morning? shouidn't you be out tagging freeway signs? i don't got to tell you shit. fine. hang there all night. -hey! where you going? get me down. what are you doing? i told you to wait downstairs. -what's this? it's a cooling jacket for a iow noise amp. don't touch it. what's that biinky shit over there? will you just sit down? -put this on your ankle. i don't want that thing. it's cold. just keep your butt down your foot up and your mouth shut. but don't touch anything. -what are them dots? they're satellite dishes. each one. it makes one big radio antennae. what's it do? -it lets you get close to the stars. k bump. greetings from beyond the solar system. is voyager 2. what's that? -voyager is a planetary probe launched in the mid '70s. they don't teach science in school anymore? too busy patting us down to see if we're strapped. i assume you mean guns. they find one on you? -not me. just everyone else. that's how come the folks want me out of i.a. crazy stuff going on. can i come in now? wolf 336. -we check the spectra at different magnifications looking for anything unusual. all we find is the typical radio noise of an f class star. huh? the aliens? -this channel? this frequency. but we can't really talk. it takes years for a radio wave to get here. so all we can really do is just listen. -but what'd they say? before. maybe how to live forever. maybe how to make nuclear power safe. i don't know. -maybe they were just ordering out for a pizza. we won't really know what they're saying. not at first. but that doesn't make it less important. if we can find it again finally know that we're not alone. -i wonder what they're going to look like. warning: your sleep period is over. get out of bed. jesus! -you going to try again? tonight? i couid wait up and help some this time. did you? what am i? -new? what about your grandma? she doesn't care if you stay up late? not after 10:00. what happens at 10:00? -she passes out on cough syrup. you can come over. only if you got the proper i.d. where i get that? huh? -when can i do something? okay. hit that key. what one? that one. -this one here? yes. are you sure it's okay? i'm sure it's okay. this one right under my finger? -give me your badge. you're fired. i'ii do it. i'ii do it. what's this signal going to look like? -it's just a spike. a big one or a little one? because i got a big one. that's it. that's exactly what calvin and i saw. -come back! okay? same periodicity. what the hell? what is that iambada shit? -it's got to be a bounce. comes back in through the system. it's coming from earth? some mexican radio station on the same frequency tells us but it doesn't but it's wack. -aii of it? wait a second. the first signal was definitely sky based. we verified it. but this one is earth based. -two identical signals. the other from earth. i'm all screwed up here. it doesn't make any sense. unless they're talking. -last night you were telling me we couldn't talk because it'd take years cal. i got to talk to cal. i don't know. somebody said something about a faulty heater. -carbon monoxide. really? but this guy's d.o.a. what have we got here? brazil. -look. you can see for yourself. 700% increase over the iast five years? how can that be? my very question. -iiana? it's hard to say. we cobbled it together from ground stations uncle earl's aching corns. some of your numbers are there. -no satellite data? nasa's bird has a bum wing. you've obviously got some ratty data. we checked this as best we could. will you? -assuming the same increase. of course. this had better be wrong. we're looking at an increase of 12 degrees centigrade and that's just catastrophic. -i was going to say impossible. that too. central mexico. my friend? i take you to some much very good places. -let's just head for town. when does it start to cool off down here? in san marsoi? this is cool off. this dial right? -left. both ways. this radio station? you know where this is? very far. -not close to town. let's go there. how about the ruins? you want to see the ruins? the radio station. -i need to go there. i'm going to talk to the people. he say. but no persons was here when the fire come last night. -i'm too late. one day too late. posada san marsoi. one of our much very best hotels. you see those? -these tv dishes. you know of any big ones? big? but big. sixty feet wide. -big. "one of our very much best hotels." this is peter dowiing from sierra satellite. just wondering if you were sick or dead or something. pal. -this is doug. i heard about you and char. i heard it was skidsviiie. i'm sorry to hear that. i know what it feels like. -let's do it. okay? and would you mind if i got her number? i want to talk to her about some investment possibilities. aii right? -thanks. i called this morning. just didn't leave a message. are you there? i guess i didn't get back to you that night -zane. i get so tired of being questioned about even the basic things. i was feeling guilt too for steering you away from what you should be doing from what you love the most. but you were such an ass the iast time we talked. damn. -i can't remember if this machine lets you ramble so i better just admit this quick. i miss your weird paranoid brain. call when you can. zane? move! -huh? because i saw you in town. i saw you at the airport. you were waiting for me. didn't you? -how the where do you hide a 20 meter dish? research. jesus! hey! -excuse me. excuse me. what's going on here? i don't know. these guys are stealing my stuff. -they're taking my equipment. i was trying to work here. excuse me. what? take it easy. -will you guys take it easy? i know i should say thanks. but that was a pretty dicey stunt you pulled back there. you could have got us both shot. and you're right. -didn't i? zane zaminsky. am i still bleeding? a little. iiana green. -damn! it's hot in here. think they'd have air conditioning in this place. i don't like blood. why were they rousting you? -something about my gear they don't like. what is all that stuff? it's technical. it looks like some kind of radiosonde for atmospheric sampling. that's right. -that's absolutely right. just who are you? can i ask what i've done wrong? i wish to apologize to you both. we have overreacted in this matter. -it seems to be ruined. if you give me a local number wait. why was i detained? why did these men take my gear? -you were on private land. isn't this a public facility? please try to understand. this is a new type of power station. with new technology come those who would iike to steal it. -yes? right? very few emissions. what kind of emissions? i'm not an expert in this matter. -perhaps if you were to leave me a local number perhaps if you give me call it a push. come on. they say there's a twin for everyone in the world. that's not it. -they're gonna land on top of each other. iiana. that is not it. nice of them to bring our cars here. all right? -i understand you do residential work. i've got a little weeding problem i'm hoping you can help me with. it's really a very small job. here's the address. we saw gulf hurricanes in march. -killing thousands. right? yes and no. yes in that we show an increase in global temperature over the iast decade. but if you factor out the cooling effects of volcanoes -it's happening. our factories can't pump out 7 billion tons of co2 a year and not do damage. this is the arctic? ninety miles from the pole. what's it doing there? -it's just another anomaly. but as a whole the arctic is very sensitive to environmental change. that's why we go there. things happen first in the arctic. it's like a window on the future. -so you're talking about something a iot bigger than global warming. i see some major climatic ordeal happening. god. i get so damned apocalyptic when i drink. every major turning point on this planet began with a shift in climate. -even a ten degree increase will melt 70% of the polar icecap wipe out all agriculture. raise the temperature of the planet to change its atmosphere into one suitable to colonization. terraforming. what is that? he's been giving talks about mars and how its whole environment could be changed and how we can terraform it and then live there. -of course. it'd cost hundreds of billions. but he did say something about after the polar ice has been melted the atmosphere again grows thicker. a kind of critical mass is reached. -what? i don't know. we might give him a call if it's not too i did the time warp dance here. before i go around saying the sky is faiiing or even warming -i've got to get new gear from n car. when do you leave? first thing in the morning. you? i don't know yet. -i still haven't seen everything i need to see. maybe a couple of days. i really enjoyed our talk tonight. it's uncommon to find someone who can grasp the things i'm passionate about. i hear you. -where you staying? i was in room 302 at the big pink place until it merged with room 402. some kind of an accident? everything is lately. how is this dump? -it's not bad with the lights off. look. i'm gone early in the morning. why don't you stay here now and keep the room tomorrow? share it? -there is a couch. we could at ieast keep the appearance of respectability. i suppose we could. not that i don't find the proposition intriguing. not that you just propositioned me. -did you? that's a iot of guilt for someone who hasn't done anything yet. i take it there's a warm body in bed at home. still in my head. i don't know. -i guess there's still something to be said for abstinence. you think? in moderation. in care of ucla. i will. -what? yes? just be careful. change for the phone? it was good to hear your voice. -but i tried to no. you're right. i was a complete asshole. but you still get downloads at home? but -pianecorp industries. will ya? zane? i'm not exactly who said i was gone? -i stopped by yesterday. the papers were stacking up so i put them inside. pianecorp industries. blah. overhaul and put them back on iine. -three facilities in mexico. wait a minute. back up. there's more than one plant? they have eight facilities on iine all in third world countries. -twenty plants? where's all the money coming from? american investors. your mutual funds at work. wow. -char. wh what? that's it? you call me up for a stock report? i i don't know what else to say. -how about "i miss you"? i shouldn't have to say it. if that's it how big does that make the my god. i'm sorry. -my friend? we caught you speeding on the wrong side of the road. we caught you speeding on the wrong side of the road. then you said you were in the cantina last night with senorita what's her name? green. -iiana green. i suppose you were drinking. we had a couple of beers. that has nothing to do the day of the dead. so what? -you're not familiar with these costumes with all these things we see all around. wrong. what i saw was no costume was no paper mache skeleton. it was nothing like that. the captain of security for the power station has called to report an accident. -intoxicated killed someone with his car last night. an american man. that is not what happened. that is to say you were involved. they are lying! -it's up to me to decide who's lying. and you give me answers. were you involved in this? i hit something with the car. i'm not sure. -i want to see it. bring the body. i demand to see it! mr. zaminsky. that's exactly what they're doing. -don't go anywhere. our word for an attorney is abogado. i suggest you mercury peaks around 99 degrees today. that will be a record for this day in october. -but nowhere is it hotter right now than in the hallways of nasa where officials are still trying to explain what happened yesterday to that atmospheric satellite that blew up just 32 seconds after launch. press conference now underway at j.p.l. in pasadena. anybody gonna lose their job over this? i'm really not the right p you don't look too good. -i iook like a can of smashed assholes. here's a tip. if you ever get the chance to travel with a mexican rodeo pass. i'm sorry. d.o.d. was putting pressure on me to keep a lid on things. -then you start asking questions in front of all those people. no. forget it. no hard feelings. i just wanted to drop by and pay you a visit check up on my old buddy gordy maybe see what's really what who's really who. -you're really not making very much sense. we should walk over to the infirmary. it didn't make a iot of sense to me either the first time i saw your face on another guy. i don't think so. i think somebody just screwed up. -don't you? gordy. what do you want? what do i want? i wanna blow a hole in your head and donate your organs to science. -but there are a few things i need to know first. fuckin' n.r.a. it's just so easy to get one. let's have a chat. yeah. -okay. media center. looks like somebody stole some camera gear. you want it? a real crime. -somebody's on the way. so who was targeted? anyone in seti? not anyone. who then? -look in the mirror. prime intellect. nonconformist reasoning. capacity for lateral thinking. isn't that what you see? -and then what? a control is assigned? somebody like you? zane? it'ii be the iast thing you ever see. -i think it's possible to say that you've been watched for quite a while now. so which programs besides seti? nasa? ask yourself why an antenna won't deploy on a deep space probe. or ask how they could launch a $6 billion telescope without testing its mirror. -what you're actually saying i'm saying nothing. i'm just listening to you ask questions. then i'ii ask about pianecorp. pianecorp. i don't know what that is. -it's that factory down in mexico. it's outside my knowledge. one of 20 being built in third world countries. outside. where no laws protect the air. -outside my knowledge. you build where it's hot. don't you? if you force me to answer you what you will be hearing is your own death sentence. you don't know the half of it. -you're just one little guy with a big conspiracy theory and the world is full of them. you take great care in what else you choose to iearn. they're terraform factories? yes. you're pumping out greenhouse gas. -now you're dead. you're changing the air the whole ecosystem. we're just finishing what you started. what would've taken you 100 years we'ii do in 10. just speeding along your own demise. -right? if you can't tend to your own planet none of you deserve to live here. bang. you're dead. don't tell me that's who i think it is. -we have a problem here? no. no problem. i'm gonna handle this myself. geez! -what are you doing out here? you scared the living who's been here? anyone? anybody been watching my house? -nobody i seen. i can't believe they wouldn't be. i'm gonna say something that's gonna sound completely insane. i'm telling you because i think you might actually believe me. i'm also telling you because i can't be the only one who knows in case they find me before i finish this. -tell me. i followed the signal to mexico because we thought somebody was yeah. " kiki. so what was they? do they got these little flashlight fingers that -maybe they got these big metal teeth that come out and sort of what does they look like then? like you. like me. like anyone. -what they doing here? i'ii show you. as soon as i fire up the array. shit! you've been evicted. -out to the big dish. hold this. don't drop it. what game does it play? where's the start button? -you going to let me in? who's char? they will be soon. who? the police? -what about the police? some detective. he said something about manslaughter charges in mexico. that's phat. the whole thing was fabricated. -they set me up. i don't understand. why would the police want to not the police. it was them. -them. who's them? forget it. probably the aliens. who is this child? -and i hope he means illegal aliens. i'ii take your car. give me that. you won't. not until i know what is going on here. -but i know what i saw. i know why they're here. i know about the poppy field in the arctic. their whole master plan about the air and the give me the keys. -not iike this. you don't have to come. i wouldn't believe it unless i'd seen it myself. i must leave now. you are nuts. -can i come? get off me! this isn't a field trip. i ieft my grandma a note. i want to help. -drive! pull over at the on ramp. i'ii drive. i've got shotgun. i think that you've got to deal with this somehow. -if it means both of us going to the police and explain i can't get stuck in some jail. not now. pull over. what do you hope to accomplish? -keys. keys. where's char? what are you doing? getting my stuff out of the car. -that all right? i just the strangest thoughts. " you push it. this stuff here. light it up everything. -find omni star 5. i'ii need two sets of coordinates. right ascension and declination. i don't see how listening to some star not listening. so this is some kind of satellite in orbit? -it's a co op weather satellite one that about 50 tv stations pull a continuous feed off of. a hundred thousand watts ought to get their attention. they'ii understand what this means? we're gonna find out right now. shit. -what's happening? what is wrong with this thing? gardening. i didn't see any gardens around here. char? -like i should know. you made a call from the car. when you start talking about aliens and master plans and this woman being killed in mexico did i mention that it was a woman? okay? -char? it is. you were scaring me with your talk. you're scaring me now. you left. -waiting for me. zane. like i needed all that career advice? the gentle persuasion the little nudges about how i was wasting my iife! cold. -too cold. i'm sorry. i am just so sorry. i didn't believe about you've got to trust me when i say that i only called the police and only because i wanted then what are they doing here? -who told them to find me here? i don't know. i honestly do not know. watch this screen. hit the red key right there next to you. -the transmit key. you ain't leaving me here? don't worry. they'ii be chasing us. we're going to give this one more shot. -go. it's this way. go. give me the chain. you can move the dish from here. -go. i can do this. please just trust me. kiki. kiki! -hit it now! the red transmit key. hit it now! hit it now! now! -now! hit it now! like i said. you didn't know the half of it. what happened? -why did they leave? they didn't. how do you know? because we aren't dead yet. help me. -move! can we get out of here now? not that way. i'ii be right behind you. not so fast. -please. please. why did it have to be like this? why couldn't you just come and ask for our help? then you tell them -you go back and tell them that she knows that others will know! it's not going to be easy. not anymore. summer is just refusing to go away. record highs again in the big apple while new england states report a delay of the fall foliage season. -it's been warmer than normal up and down the eastern seaboard. they're terraform factories? yes. you're pumping out greenhouse gas. now you're dead. -you're changing the air the whole ecosystem. we're just finishing what you started. what would've taken you 100 years we'ii do in 10. just speeding along your own demise. right? -if you can't tend to your own planet none of you deserve to live here. it shouldn't be here. moving on to... wolf 336, f-class star... at right ascension 7.36.7. 5.21 declination. -i thought that was the last one. why'd you think that? you said that it would be. no, i distinctly remember forgetting that. i don't know why i put up with this. -yes, i do. because i let you drive. i'm a ride-share hostage. f-class star. recent variability. -14.6 light-years away. this is nuts anyway. the whole approach. seti's tough enough on microwave band. now you want to search fm? -with all that noise? might as well look for a needle in a haystack... of needles. station five. is my voice even vaguely familiar to you, zane? honey, i'm trying to get out of here, but as usual, calvin's holding me up. -should be home by 1:00, 1:30. 1:30, tuesday? wednesday? a.m.? p.m.? -what can i say? i'm a ride-share hostage. i'm going to go pee. i will try to... where are you? -i'm having a drink with becky. you're in some bar, while i'm here working? there's a cute hockey player here too. but he's only in town for one night. all right. -i give up. what do you want? i want your ass in bed, zane. okay. i'll leave now... if you leave now. -but do not talk to any strangers on the way out. i'll see you at my place in 83 minutes, okay? swear you'll be there? i don't want a repeat of last week. if i say i'm going to be there, i will. -end of story. there is nothing more important to me right now than our... there is nothing more important to me right now than our... good solid spike. nice symmetry to the modulation. -detection protocol. now! confirmation phase one. swing dish five degrees off axis. and signal fades. -looking good. now swing dish back on target. signal returns. definitely sky based. wolf 336, you are howling. -phase two! initiating software check. jumping ahead to phase three: second source verification. who's still on line? -green bank? ohio state? moffet field! checking. still checking. -be there. just be there. we got to get another ear on this. software self-checks. phase two complete. -come on, moffet. you're killing me. i'm dying here! just pick up the phone so we can confirm this. nothing. -zaminsky! zaminsky! this is not valet parking! stalled out on me. stalled on me! -this piece of... sorry, sir. sorry. that's it? forty-two seconds. -we listened all night. all night, all morning, and the sound never repeated. it's 42 seconds of nonrandom, non-earth-based signal! this could be it, gordy. sounds compressed, like a military burst communication. -no way. no way. not at 107 megahertz. 107? what the hell are you doing so far below the microwave? -good question. so this is a variable star, this wolf 336? 14.6 light-years away. all right. okay. -so if it is a variable, it expands and contracts dramatically. so, gentlemen, maybe you can explain to me... how intelligent life can actually develop in such a volatile environment. it's only been unstable for what? fifty years or so. which means it's possible some form of life could still exist there. -exactly. maybe this is a distress call. an s.o.s. maybe they're sending out their encyclopedia gallactica... jettisoning all their knowledge before it goes down with the ship. it lasted 42 seconds, and it never repeated. -that's why we have to stay on this one, gordy, in case it does. i'll pull double shifts. i'll pull triple shifts if i have to. but i want priority status and dish time. serious dish time. -during normal business hours, preferably. calvin, why don't you go home, get some sleep, okay? go ahead. it's a mandatory 20% cutback. tracking station has a fixed operating cost. -i can't touch that. i've got to look at personnel. are you even shitting me? i can swing a month's pay, instead of two weeks. maybe extend the health benefits two weeks beyond that, but... -let me see if i got this straight. i come to you... i come to you with what may be... the preeminent discovery of the 20th century: the possibility of extra-solar life. and i get shitcanned for it? -i know how important this is. but searching for e.t. s in this political environment... is a tough sell on capitol hill. if we don't start spending money on harder science, we're going to lose it. let's forget about me for a second. what about the signal? -i'm skeptical. but it is interesting. i'll pass it along to decoding. see if there's a pattern recognition there, but... i don't have to tell you. -you know the rule. if you can't confirm it... then it doesn't exist. what asshole made up that rule? can we fire him instead? -it doesn't please me... to be losing the brightest and the best. i wish there was another way. i honestly do. well, it is finally cooling off in the southland... after a day of near-record temperatures. but hot again tomorrow and hot again on thursday with no letup... -how are you doing for money? if you need me to, i could... no. there's a seti program up north. guy who runs it, bill wyatt, was begging me to come up. -might call him. you're not really thinking about going back to it, are you? we had a bell ringer this morning. really good signal. i just couldn't confirm it in time. -you had something really good last year too. turned out to be what? a broken microwave oven. what's your point? there's always something to give me false hope? -that i'm wasting my life? i didn't say that. but, you know, it's interesting that you did. come on. someone is watching. -what? how in the hell did i wind up with somebody like you? i got tired of rich guys with good futures. no. really. -what is it you see in me? what made you call me the first time? boy, when their self-worth goes... okay, i see a man of great intelligence... dedication, cute little kind of insecurity. a little paranoia... -this went to shit fast. why do we always have to analyze everything? can't you trust i love you? algorithms i trust. boolean logic i trust. -beautiful women, they just mystify me. two years and we're still talking about trust? it's amazing. i should shut the hell up, huh? look, it's your career. -i will support any decision you make. but if we are going to make it... we've got to take care of our problems here on planet earth. that is just a little hard when you're always off looking at the stars. listening. listening. -are we falling apart here? is that it, char? i don't know, zane. are we? how'd you do on the test? -how'd you do on the test? no, i'm saying it's incomplete. there's no chemical breakdown. there's no broadband chart analysis. want me to go on? -that information isn't available at this time. this information was promised me two months ago. these are not national secrets. this is a routine analysis of the atmosphere. why should i... -there's a problem with that satellite. it's blind to certain trace gases. really? as of when? it lost a solar panel. -some functions were shut down to save energy. look, here's my problem. i've devoted my sabbatical to greenhouse trace gases. if i don't get this data, i might as well be counting cow farts in montana. you'll have to wait until the new satellite is in place. -when's the launch date? nasa doesn't have that information. round and round we go. thanks for naught. moffet field. -bill wyatt, zane zaminsky. how are you, man? oh, yeah, zane. hi. i know you said you'd get back to me, but i felt obligated... to let you know about a job offer that came up. -telecommunications. looks pretty sweet too. the health plan alone, you know. well, good. you should take it, zane. -i don't think things are going to work out here. but i thought you were looking for radio astronomers? some good creative thinkers? isn't that what you said? creative's one thing. -too creative's another. i'm not tracking. i'm not sure i should be saying this. i talked to phil gordian at j.p.l. the indication was... -just say it. he said you were faking signals in order to keep your job. i do believe this permit's expired. why haven't you? to raise the temperature of the planet tenfold... -to raise the temperature of the planet tenfold... to change the atmosphere into one suitable to colonization... to construct farms and cities... and build an infrastructure capable of supporting thousands of colonists. make no mistake. never before have we undertaken a task... have we undertaken a task of this size. the terraforming of mars. -do you know who phil gordian is? the key to all of this is polar ice. enough heat-generating factories could be built. the heat would be enough to melt... excuse me. -but perhaps you'd care to use the microphone? yes. yes, i would. thanks. phil gordian? -has anybody seen him? i'm looking for phil gordian. anybody seen phil gordian? the man was in the middle of a seminar, zane. why don't we step outside? -let him finish. did you even give it to decoding? did you even see what was there? why don't we take this outside? if you're not going to analyze it, i want my tape back. -i'm sorry. i don't know what you're referring to. why don't you show me how smart you are by leaving right now? what's going on, huh? what are you doing this for? -back it up. let's go. why are you telling them lies about me? i said, now! let's go! -why? come on. let's go. why? i'm sorry. -he's a troubled young man. a very troubled young man. my apologies. please. continue. -where was i? polar ice. after the polar ice has been melted... the atmosphere begins to grow thicker. finally, a kind of critical mass is reached. at this point, the atmosphere begins to work for us. -station five. tell me i'm not losing my mind. just tell me. zane, where are you? they're acting like it never happened. -i saw gordian. it's like we never gave him any tape. listen, zane... but then i remembered. it should be on the backup dat system. -we should have a copy of the signal. well, yes and no. there are some d.o.d. guys here... going through our stuff as we speak. apparently, it was a burst from a spy satellite. what? -it's a defense thing. which is probably why gordian couldn't tell us about it. we weren't cleared for this spy shit. cal, listen to me very carefully. satellites do not move like stars move. -we tracked this thing in stereo time, in star time, okay? i don't know who these guys are, but i do know they're lying to you. is this everything? if you haven't told them about the backup system, don't! we have it all? -don't you tell them, cal! don't you dare! there... there's a backup system. hey. -so if this was a spy bird, why was it moving like a star? not really sure. we'll have to get back to you on that. it's a very aggressive company. with the federal mandate for air bags... -it's a very aggressive company. with the federal mandate for air bags... they are perfectly positioned to dominate the market for years. blade co. technologies. all right. -i'll send you a prospectus. are you at the same address? doug, can i call you back in, say, ten minutes? so i get this signal. how about 5:00? -signal from an f-class. 5:15. like our sun but hotter. first they act like it's nothing. great. -thanks. now they're going to unimaginable pains to make it disappear. i thought you had a new job. something is going on here, char. why the hell would they do that? -what is it they're trying to hide? maybe we could talk later. i need to talk about this now! i called last night twice. i got the messages. -i thought the problem was i wasn't around enough. now that i am, you're not. what is this, tales from the dark side? i have been avoiding this. yes. -okay. define "this." the brokerage is strongly suggesting i head up the office in san diego soon. it'd mean moving there. can you tell them no? -thank you. i tell you i'll support any career decision you make. but when it comes to my work... you're considering this? char, it's mr. morgan on line five. -and? i got to take this. by any chance is he going to san diego also? why don't you stick your paranoia back in your pants and get out of here? i will call you. -fine. no problem. when? whenever i get to it. "tuesday? -wednesday? a.m.? p.m.?" go! right now. -they could be talking to us right now. an array. phased array. good morning, mr. carbiner. i'm horace with your local satellite company. -good morning. can i see your dish? what a glorious morning. hot enough for you? for a limited time, we're offering a free upgrade on a totally automated... fiber-optic control system. -all this at no extra cost to you. no extra cost to you. one of the many ways we're improving the quality of service to our customers. can i see your dish? jesus! -what are you doing here? and how soon can you leave? what are you doing here? i live here. do you mind? -i mind you grabbing on me. let go! i'm trying to help you down. i can do it myself! my butt is stuck. -you live next door. with mrs. roosevelt. that it? i live in i.a. just kicking it here a minute. i don't want anybody nosing around here. -if i were going to steal your stuff, it would be over and done. what do you know about my stuff? what are you doing climbing roofs at 1:00 in the morning? shouldn't you be out tagging freeway signs? i don't got to tell you shit. -fine. hang there all night. hey! where you going? get me down. -what are you doing? i told you to wait downstairs. what's this? it's a cooling jacket for a low-noise amp. don't touch it. -what's that blinky shit over there? will you just sit down? put this on your ankle. i don't want that thing. it's cold. -just keep your butt down... your foot up and your mouth shut. you can watch, but don't touch anything. what are them dots? they're satellite dishes. each one. -you string enough of them together, it makes one big radio antennae. what's it do? it lets you get close to the stars. see if you get 92.9, k-bump. greetings from beyond the solar system. -that, my friend, is voyager 2. what's that? voyager is a planetary probe launched in the mid-'70s. they don't teach science in school anymore? too busy patting us down to see if we're strapped. -i assume you mean guns. they find one on you? not me. just everyone else. that's how come the folks want me out of i.a. crazy stuff going on. -can i come in now? so, this is the star, wolf 336. we check the spectra at different magnifications... looking for anything unusual. but, unfortunately, all we find is the typical radio noise of an f-class star. but you talked to them before, huh? -the aliens? this channel? this star, this frequency. but we can't really talk. it takes years for a radio wave to get here. -so all we can really do is just listen. but what'd they say? before. maybe how to live forever. maybe how to make nuclear power safe. -i don't know. maybe they were just ordering out for a pizza. we won't really know what they're saying. not at first. but that doesn't make it less important. -if i can confirm this signal, if we can find it again... then we will finally, finally know that we're not alone. i wonder what they're going to look like. warning: your sleep period is over. get out of bed. -jesus! you going to try again? tonight? if you are, i could wait up and help some this time. didn't tell anybody about our little clubhouse, did you? -what am i? new? what about your grandma? she doesn't care if you stay up late? not after 10:00. -what happens at 10:00? she passes out on cough syrup. tell you what, whenever i'm up there, you can come over. but only, only if you got the proper i.d. where i get that? -what about me, huh? when can i do something? okay. hit that key. what one? -that one. this one here? yes. are you sure it's okay? i'm sure it's okay. -this one right under my finger? give me your badge. you're fired. i'll do it. i'll do it. -what's this signal going to look like? it's just a spike. a big one or a little one? because i got a big one. that's it. -that's exactly what calvin and i saw. come back! i didn't touch nothing, okay? that's the same thing. same signature, same periodicity. -what the hell? what is that lambada shit? it's got to be a bounce. radio wave kicks off the inversion layer, comes back in through the system. it's coming from earth? -some mexican radio station on the same frequency tells us... where the bounce came from, but it doesn't... but it's wack. all of it? wait a second. the first signal was definitely sky based. -we verified it. but this one is earth based. two identical signals. one comes from space, the other from earth. i'm all screwed up here. -it doesn't make any sense. unless they're talking. last night you were telling me we couldn't talk because it'd take years... cal. i got to talk to cal. -i don't know. somebody said something about a faulty heater. carbon monoxide. really? taking him to county. -yeah, sure, but this guy's d.o.a. what have we got here? huge concentrations of trace gas in central mexico, ecuador, brazil. look. you can see for yourself. -700% increase over the last five years? how can that be? my very question. how accurate is this data you sent us, ilana? it's hard to say. -we cobbled it together from ground stations... weather balloons, uncle earl's aching corns. some of your numbers are there. no satellite data? nasa's bird has a bum wing. you've obviously got some ratty data. -we checked this as best we could. george, run me a future cast, will you? say, ten years, assuming the same increase. of course. this had better be wrong. -according to this, we're looking at an increase of 12 degrees centigrade... over the next decade, and that's just... catastrophic. i was going to say impossible. but, yes, that too. central mexico. -excuse me. you come to see the ruins, my friend? i take you to some much very good places. let's just head for town. when does it start to cool off down here? -in san marsol? this is cool off. this dial right? right, left. both ways. -this radio station? you know where this is? very far. not close to town. let's go there. -how about the ruins? you want to see the ruins? the radio station. i need to go there. i'm going to talk to the people. -accidente, he say. but no persons was here... when the fire come last night. i'm too late. one day too late. -posada san marsol. one of our much very best hotels. you see those? these tv dishes. you know of any big ones? -big? big. not small like these, but big. fifty, sixty feet wide. big. -"one of our very much best hotels." this is peter dowling from sierra satellite. just wondering if you were sick or dead or something. 'cause if you're not, you're fired. sorry, pal. -yeah, zane, this is doug. i heard about you and char. i heard it was skidsville. i'm sorry to hear that. i know what it feels like. -if you want to get together anytime, let's do it. we'll talk it through. i'm there for ya, man, okay? and would you mind if i got her number? i want to talk to her about some investment possibilities. -all right? thanks. i called this morning. just didn't leave a message. are you there? -i guess i didn't get back to you that night... because i was mad, zane. i get so tired of being questioned about even the basic things. i was feeling guilt too for steering you away from what you should be doing... from what you love the most. but you were such an ass the last time we talked. damn. -i can't remember if this machine lets you ramble... so i better just admit this quick. i miss your weird paranoid brain. call when you can. where are you, zane? move! -so just who the hell are you, huh? because i saw you in town. i saw you at the airport. you were waiting for me. you knew, didn't you? -how the... where do you hide a 20-meter dish? research. jesus! hey! -excuse me. excuse me. what's going on here? i don't know. these guys are stealing my stuff. -they're taking my equipment. i was trying to work here. excuse me. what? take it easy. -will you guys take it easy? i know i should say thanks. but that was a pretty dicey stunt you pulled back there. you could have got us both shot. you're welcome, and you're right. -i saw you in town last night, didn't i? zane zaminsky. am i still bleeding? a little. ilana green. -damn! it's hot in here. think they'd have air-conditioning in this place. i don't like blood. why were they rousting you? -something about my gear they don't like. what is all that stuff? it's technical. it looks like some kind of radiosonde for atmospheric sampling. that's right. -that's absolutely right. just who are you? can i ask what i've done wrong? i wish to apologize to you both. we have overreacted in this matter. -as for the equipment, it seems to be ruined. if you give me a local number... wait. why was i detained? why did these men take my gear? -you were on private land. isn't this a public facility? please try to understand. this is a new type of power station. with new technology come those who would like to steal it. -you're staying at san marsol, yes? what do you mean, "new type"? you still burn fossil fuels, right? with great efficiency, very few emissions. what kind of emissions? -i'm not an expert in this matter. perhaps if you were to leave me a local number... perhaps if you give me... call it a push. come on. -they say there's a twin for everyone in the world. that's not it. roll the genetic dice often enough, they're gonna land on top of each other. trust me, ilana. that is not it. -nice of them to bring our cars here. follow me back to town, and don't make any stops, all right? i understand you do residential work. i've got a little weeding problem i'm hoping you can help me with. it's really a very small job. -here's the address. we saw gulf hurricanes in march. right now there's a drought in the sudan, killing thousands. so we're talking global warming, right? yes and no. -yes in that we show an increase in global temperature over the last decade. it's not much, but if you factor out the cooling effects of volcanoes... it's happening. our factories can't pump out 7 billion tons of co2 a year and not do damage. this is the arctic? -ninety miles from the pole. what's it doing there? taken by itself, it's just another anomaly. but as a whole... the arctic is very sensitive to environmental change. -that's why we go there. things happen first in the arctic. it's like a window on the future. so you're talking about something a lot bigger than global warming. i see some major climatic ordeal happening. -god. i get so damned apocalyptic when i drink. but you have to remember, every major turning point on this planet... including the demise of the dinosaur, began with a shift in climate. even a ten degree increase... will melt 70% of the polar icecap... wipe out all agriculture. raise the temperature of the planet to change its atmosphere... into one suitable to colonization. -terraforming. what is that? this guy at j.p.l., he's been giving talks about mars... and how its whole environment could be changed... and how we can terraform it and then live there. it'll never happen, of course. it'd cost hundreds of billions. -but he did say something about... after the polar ice has been melted... the atmosphere again grows thicker. finally, a kind of critical mass is reached. what? i don't know. -we might give him a call if it's not too... jesus, i did the time warp dance here. before i go around saying the sky is falling or even warming... i've got to get new gear from n-car. when do you leave? -first thing in the morning. you? i don't know yet. i still haven't seen everything i need to see. maybe a couple of days. -i must say, zane, i really enjoyed our talk tonight. it's uncommon to find someone who can grasp the things i'm passionate about. yeah, i hear you. where you staying? i was in room 302 at the big pink place... until it merged with room 402. -some kind of an accident? everything is lately. how is this dump? it's not bad with the lights off. maybe i'll get a room. -well, look. i'm gone early in the morning. why don't you stay here now and keep the room tomorrow? you mean, share it? there is a couch. -we could at least keep the appearance of respectability. i suppose we could. not that i don't find the proposition intriguing. not that you just propositioned me. did you? -boy, that's a lot of guilt for someone who hasn't done anything yet. i take it there's a warm body in bed at home. out of my bed, still in my head. i don't know. i guess there's still something to be said for abstinence. -you think? in moderation. terraforming. if you find anything, get it to me, in care of ucla. i will. -what? yes? just be careful. change for the phone? man, it was good to hear your voice. -i'm really sorry about before, but i tried to... no, no, no. you're right. i was a complete asshole. we will get back to that, but you still get downloads at home? -stock stuff? yeah, but... planecorp industries. check it out for me, will ya? slow modem. -still waiting. when are you coming home, zane? i'm not exactly... who said i was gone? i stopped by yesterday. -the papers were stacking up so i put them inside. here we go. ticker p.l.c., planecorp industries. a leader in clean air technology. blah, blah, blah. -they buy up old power utilities, overhaul and put them back on line. ecuador, peru, three facilities in mexico. wait a minute. back up. there's more than one plant? -as of january 1, they have eight facilities on line... and 12 more planned, all in third-world countries. twenty plants? where's all the money coming from? american investors. your mutual funds at work. -wow. well, thanks for the help, char. wh... what? that's it? -after four weeks, you call me up for a stock report? i... i don't know what else to say. how about "i miss you"? i shouldn't have to say it. -if that's it... how big does that make the... oh, my god. i'm sorry. do you want to see the ruins, my friend? mr. zaminsky, we caught you speeding on the wrong side of the road. -mr. zaminsky, we caught you speeding on the wrong side of the road. then you said you were in the cantina last night... with senorita what's-her-name? green. ilana green. i suppose you were drinking. -we had a couple of beers. that has nothing to do... this week is el dia de los muertos, the day of the dead. so what? as an american, you're not familiar with these costumes... with all these things we see all around. -wrong. what i saw was no costume... was no paper mache skeleton. it was nothing like that. the captain of security for the power station has called... to report an accident. that a man, intoxicated... killed someone with his car last night. -an american man. no, that is not what happened. that is to say you were involved. they are lying! it's up to me to decide who's lying. -that's why i make the questions, and you give me answers. now, again, were you involved in this? i hit something... with the car. now, who it was or what it was, i'm not sure. but if they're saying i killed someone, i want to see it. -bring the body. i demand to see it! there's no need to demand that, mr. zaminsky. that's exactly what they're doing. don't go anywhere. -our word for an attorney is abogado. i suggest you... mercury peaks around 99 degrees today. yes, that will be a record for this day in october. but nowhere is it hotter right now than in the hallways of nasa... where officials are still trying to explain... what happened yesterday to that atmospheric satellite... that blew up just 32 seconds after launch. -press conference now underway at j.p.l. in pasadena. anybody gonna lose their job over this? i'm really not the right p... you don't look too good. actually, i look like a can of smashed assholes. -here's a tip. if you ever get the chance to travel with a mexican rodeo... pass. look, zane, about before, i'm sorry. d.o.d. was putting pressure on me to keep a lid on things. then you start asking questions in front of all those people. -no, no. forget it. no hard feelings. i just wanted to drop by and pay you a visit... check up on my old buddy gordy... maybe see what's really what... who's really who. i tell you, zane, you're really not making very much sense. -we should walk over to the infirmary. it didn't make a lot of sense to me either... the first time i saw your face on another guy. genetic dice? no, i don't think so. i think somebody just screwed up. -as good as you are, you do make mistakes, don't you? they should have broke the mold, gordy. what do you want? what do i want? i wanna blow a hole in your head and donate your organs to science. -but there are a few things i need to know first. fuckin' n.r.a. it's just so easy to get one. let's have a chat. yeah. -okay. media center. looks like somebody stole some camera gear. you want it? a real crime. -somebody's on the way. so who was targeted? anyone in seti? well, not anyone. who then? -look in the mirror. prime intellect. nonconformist reasoning. capacity for lateral thinking. isn't that what you see? -and then what? a control is assigned? somebody like you? could i actually see this gun of yours, zane? oh, sure. -but if i pull it out, it'll be the last thing you ever see. well, i think it's possible to say... that you've been watched for quite a while now. so which programs besides seti? nasa? ask yourself why an antenna won't deploy on a deep-space probe. -or ask how they could launch a $6 billion telescope... without testing its mirror. what you're actually saying... i'm saying nothing. i'm just listening to you ask questions. then i'll ask about planecorp. -planecorp. sorry, i don't know what that is. you know, it's that factory down in mexico. it's outside my knowledge. one of 20 being built in third-world countries. -outside. where no laws protect the air. outside my knowledge. you build where it's hot. you like it hot, gordy, don't you? -zane, if you force me to answer you... what you will be hearing is your own death sentence. now, as much as you think you know, you don't know the half of it. right now, you're just one little guy with a big conspiracy theory... and no proof, and the world is full of them. so, zane, you take great care... in what else you choose to learn. they're terraform factories? -yes. you're pumping out greenhouse gas. now you're dead. you're changing the air... the temperature, the whole ecosystem. we're just finishing what you started. -what would've taken you 100 years we'll do in 10. just speeding along your own demise. like you sped calvin along, and ilana green, right? if you can't tend to your own planet... none of you deserve to live here. bang. -you're dead. don't tell me that's who i think it is. we have a problem here? no. no problem. -i'm gonna handle this myself. geez! zane, what are you doing out here? you scared the living... who's been here? -anyone? anybody been watching my house? nobody i seen. i can't believe they wouldn't be. i'm gonna say something that's gonna sound completely insane. -i'm telling you because i think you might actually believe me. i'm also telling you because i can't be the only one who knows... in case they find me... before i finish this. tell me. i followed the signal to mexico because we thought somebody was... -yeah, yeah. they weren't "us," kiki. so what was they? do they got these little flashlight fingers that... maybe they got these big metal teeth that come out and sort of... -what does they look like then? like you. like me. like anyone. what they doing here? -i'll show you. i'll show everyone, as soon as i fire up the array. shit! you've been evicted. i gotta get out to oro valley, out to the big dish. -hold this. don't drop it. what game does it play? where's the start button? you going to let me in? -who's char? i can't stay. if they're not here now, they will be soon. who? the police? -what about the police? they came to my work, some detective. he said something about manslaughter charges in mexico. you're a fugitive? ooh, that's phat. -the whole thing was fabricated. they set me up. i don't understand. why would the police want to... not the police. -it was them. them. who's them? forget it. probably the aliens. -who is this child? and i hope he means illegal aliens. i'll take your car. give me that. no, you won't. -not until i know what is going on here. look, it sounds nuts, but i know what i saw. i know why they're here. i know about the poppy field in the arctic. their whole master plan about the air and the... -give me the keys. i can't let you go, zane. not alone, not like this. you don't have to come. i wouldn't believe it unless i'd seen it myself. -but, char, i must leave now. if you think i'm letting you out of my sight, you are nuts. can i come? get off me! this isn't a field trip. -i left my grandma a note. i want to help. drive! pull over at the on-ramp. i'll drive. -i've got shotgun. zane, i think that you've got to deal with this somehow. if it means both of us going to the police and explain... i can't get stuck in some jail. not now. -please, pull over. we're here. now, what do you hope to accomplish? keys. keys. -where's char? what are you doing? getting my stuff out of the car. that all right? i just... -the strangest thoughts. kiki, if it says "power," you push it. these monitors, this stuff here. light it up... everything. find omni star 5. -i'll need two sets of coordinates. right ascension and declination. i don't see how listening to some star... it's not a star, and this time we're talking, not listening. so this is some kind of satellite in orbit? -it's a co-op weather satellite... one that about 50 tv stations pull a continuous feed off of. a hundred thousand watts ought to get their attention. they'll understand what this means? we're gonna find out... right now. shit. -what's happening? what is wrong with this thing? gardening. i didn't see any gardens around here. what are they doing here, char? -like i should know. you made a call... from the car. when you start talking about aliens and master plans... and this woman being killed in mexico... did i mention that it was a woman? the police told me, okay? -ah. and that's who you called, right, char? you called the police. yes, it is. you were scaring me with your talk. -you're scaring me now. as soon as i left seti, you left. as soon as i got back from mexico, there you were, waiting for me. because i thought you might need me, zane. like i needed all that career advice? -the gentle persuasion... the little nudges about how i was wasting my life! cold. too cold. i'm sorry. i am just so sorry. -i didn't believe about... you've got to trust me when i say that i only called the police... and only because i wanted... then what are they doing here? who told them to find me here? -i don't know. i honestly do not know. watch this screen. when you see my face, hit the red key right there next to you. the transmit key. -you ain't leaving me here? don't worry. they'll be chasing us. we're going to give this one more shot. go. -no, it's this way. go. give me the chain. you can move the dish from here. go. -i can do this. for once in your paranoid life, please just trust me. now, kiki. now, kiki! hit it now! -kiki, the red transmit key. hit it now! kiki, for shit's sake, hit it now! now! now! -hit it now! like i said. you didn't know the half of it. zane, what happened? why did they leave? -they didn't. how do you know? because we aren't dead yet. help me. move! -zane, can we get out of here now? not that way. i'll be right behind you. not... so... fast. oh, please. -oh, please. please. why did it have to be like this? why couldn't you just come and ask for our help? then you tell them... -you go back and tell them... that i know, that she knows... that others will know! it's not going to be easy. not anymore. summer is just refusing to go away. record highs again in the big apple... while new england states report a delay of the fall foliage season. -it's been warmer than normal up and down the eastern seaboard. they're terraform factories? yes. you're pumping out greenhouse gas. now you're dead. -you're changing the air... the temperature, the whole ecosystem. we're just finishing what you started. what would've taken you 100 years we'll do in 10. just speeding along your own demise. like you sped calvin along, and ilana green, right? -if you can't tend to your own planet... none of you deserve to live here. it shouldn't be here. movlng on to... wolf 336, f-class star... at right ascension 7.36.7. 5.21 declination. -i thought that was the last one. why'd you think that? you said that it would be. no, i distinctly remember forgetting that. i don't know why i put up with this. -yes, i do. because i let you drive. i'm a rlde-share hostage. f-class star. recent variability. -14.6 llght-years away. thls is nuts anyway. the whole approach. setl's tough enough on microwave band. now you want to search fm? -wlth all that noise? mlght as well look for a needle in a haystack... of needles. statlon flve. is my voice even vaguely familiar to you, zane? honey, i'm trying to get out of here, but as usual, calvln's holding me up. -should be home by 1:00, 1:30. 1:30, tuesday? wednesday? a.m.? p.m.? -what can i say? i'm a rlde-share hostage. i'm going to go pee. i wlll try to-- where are you? -i'm having a drink with becky. you're in some bar, while i'm here working? there's a cute hockey player here too. but he's only in town for one night. all right. -i give up. what do you want? i want your ass in bed, zane. okay. i'll leave now... if you leave now. but do not talk to any strangers on the way out. -i'll see you at my place in 83 minutes, okay? swear you'll be there? i don't want a repeat of last week. if i say i'm going to be there, i wlll. end of story. -there is nothing more important to me right now than our-- there is nothing more important to me right now than our-- good solid spike. nlce symmetry to the modulation. detectlon protocol. -now! conflrmatlon phase one. swlng dish five degrees off axis. and signal fades. looklng good. -now swing dish back on target. slgnal returns. deflnltely sky based. wolf 336, you are howling. phase two! -inltlatlng software check. jumplng ahead to phase three: second source verification. who's still on line? green bank? -ohlo state? moffet fleld! checklng. stlll checking. be there. -just be there. we got to get another ear on this. software self-checks. phase two complete. come on, moffet. -you're killing me. i'm dying here! just pick up the phone so we can confirm this. nothlng. zamlnsky! zamlnsky! -thls is not valet parking! stalled out on me. stalled on me! thls piece of-- sorry, slr. -sorry. that's it? forty-two seconds. we listened all night. all night, all morning, and the sound never repeated. -it's 42 seconds of nonrandom, non-earth-based signal! thls could be it, gordy. sounds compressed, like a military burst communication. no way. no way. -not at 107 megahertz. 107? what the hell are you doing so far below the microwave? good question. so this is a variable star, this wolf 336? -14.6 llght-years away. all right. okay. so if it is a variable, it expands and contracts dramatically. so, gentlemen, maybe you can explain to me... how intelligent life can actually develop in such a volatile environment. -it's only been unstable for what? flfty years or so. whlch means it's possible some form of life could still exist there. exactly. maybe this is a distress call. -an s.o.s. maybe they're sending out their encyclopedla gallactlca... jettlsonlng all their knowledge before it goes down with the ship. it lasted 42 seconds, and it never repeated. that's why we have to stay on this one, gordy, in case it does. i'll pull double shifts. -i'll pull triple shifts if i have to. but i want priority status and dish time. serlous dish time. durlng normal business hours, preferably. calvln, why don't you go home, get some sleep, okay? -go ahead. it's a mandatory 20% cutback. tracklng station has a fixed operating cost. i can't touch that. i've got to look at personnel. -are you even shitting me? i can swing a month's pay, instead of two weeks. maybe extend the health benefits two weeks beyond that, but-- let me see if i got this straight. i come to you-- i come to you with what may be... the preeminent discovery of the 20th century: -the possibility of extra-solar life. and i get shitcanned for it? i know how important this is. but searching for e.t.s in this political environment... is a tough sell on capltol hlll. if we don't start spending money on harder science, we're going to lose it. -let's forget about me for a second. what about the signal? i'm skeptical. but it is interesting. i'll pass it along to decoding. -see if there's a pattern recognition there, but-- i don't have to tell you. you know the rule. if you can't confirm it-- then it doesn't exist. what asshole made up that rule? -can we fire him instead? it doesn't please me... to be losing the brightest and the best. i wish there was another way. i honestly do. well, it is finally cooling off in the southland... after a day of near-record temperatures. -but hot again tomorrow and hot again on thursday with no letup-- how are you doing for money? if you need me to, i could-- no. there's a seti program up north. -guy who runs it, blll wyatt, was begging me to come up. mlght call him. you're not really thinking about going back to it, are you? we had a bell ringer this morning. really good signal. -i just couldn't confirm it in time. you had something really good last year too. turned out to be what? a broken microwave oven. what's your point? -there's always something to give me false hope? that i'm wasting my life? i didn't say that. but, you know, it's interesting that you did. come on. -someone is watching. what? how in the hell did i wind up with somebody like you? i got tired of rich guys with good futures. no. -really. what is it you see in me? what made you call me the first time? boy, when their self-worth goes-- okay, i see a man of great intelligence... dedication, cute little kind of insecurity. -a little paranola-- thls went to shit fast. why do we always have to analyze everything? can't you trust i love you? algorlthms i trust. -boolean logic i trust. beautlful women, they just mystlfy me. two years and we're still talking about trust? it's amazing. i should shut the hell up, huh? -look, it's your career. i wlll support any decision you make. but if we are going to make it... we've got to take care of our problems here on planet earth. that is just a little hard when you're always off looking at the stars. llstenlng. -llstenlng. are we failing apart here? is that it, char? i don't know, zane. are we? -how'd you do on the test? how'd you do on the test? no, i'm saying it's incomplete. there's no chemical breakdown. there's no broadband chart analysis. -want me to go on? that information isn't available at this time. thls information was promised me two months ago. these are not national secrets. thls is a routine analysis of the atmosphere. -why should l-- there's a problem with that satellite. it's blind to certain trace gases. really? as of when? -it lost a solar panel. some functions were shut down to save energy. look, here's my problem. i've devoted my sabbatical to greenhouse trace gases. if i don't get this data, i might as well be counting cow farts in montana. -you'll have to walt until the new satellite is in place. when's the launch date? nasa doesn't have that information. round and round we go. thanks for naught. -moffet fleld. blll wyatt, zane zamlnsky. how are you, man? oh, yeah, zane. hl. -i know you said you'd get back to me, but i felt obligated... to let you know about a job offer that came up. telecommunlcatlons. looks pretty sweet too. the health plan alone, you know. well, good. -you should take it, zane. i don't think things are going to work out here. but i thought you were looking for radio astronomers? some good creative thinkers? isn't that what you said? -creatlve's one thing. too creative's another. i'm not tracking. i'm not sure i should be saying this. i talked to phll gordlan at j.p.l. -the indication was-- just say it. he said you were faking signals in order to keep your job. i do believe this permit's expired. why haven't you? -to raise the temperature of the planet tenfold... to raise the temperature of the planet tenfold... to change the atmosphere into one suitable to colonization... to construct farms and cities... and build an infrastructure capable of supporting thousands of colonists. make no mistake. never before have we undertaken a task-- have we undertaken a task of this size. -the terraforming of mars. do you know who phll gordlan is? the key to all of this is polar ice. enough heat-generatlng factories could be built. the heat would be enough to melt-- -excuse me. but perhaps you'd care to use the microphone? yes. yes, i would. thanks. -phll gordlan? has anybody seen him? i'm looking for phll gordlan. anybody seen phll gordlan? the man was in the middle of a seminar, zane. -why don't we step outside? let him finish. dld you even give it to decoding? dld you even see what was there? why don't we take this outside? -if you're not going to analyze it, i want my tape back. i'm sorry. i don't know what you're referring to. why don't you show me how smart you are by leaving right now? what's going on, huh? -what are you doing this for? back it up. let's go. why are you telling them lies about me? i said, now! -let's go! why? come on. let's go. why? -i'm sorry. he's a troubled young man. a very troubled young man. my apologies. please. -contlnue. where was i? polar ice. after the polar ice has been melted... the atmosphere begins to grow thicker. flnally, a kind of critical mass is reached. -at this point, the atmosphere begins to work for us. statlon flve. tell me i'm not losing my mind. just tell me. zane, where are you? -they're acting like it never happened. i saw gordlan. it's like we never gave him any tape. llsten, zane-- but then i remembered. -it should be on the backup dat system. we should have a copy of the signal. well, yes and no. there are some d.o.d. guys here... going through our stuff as we speak. apparently, it was a burst from a spy satellite. -what? it's a defense thing. whlch is probably why gordlan couldn't tell us about it. we weren't cleared for this spy shit. cal, listen to me very carefully. -satellltes do not move like stars move. we tracked this thing in stereo time, in star time, okay? i don't know who these guys are, but i do know they're lying to you. is this everything? if you haven't told them about the backup system, don't! -we have it all? don't you tell them, cal! don't you dare! there-- there's a backup system. -hey. so if this was a spy bird, why was it moving like a star? not really sure. we'll have to get back to you on that. it's a very aggressive company. -wlth the federal mandate for alr bags... it's a very aggressive company. wlth the federal mandate for alr bags... they are perfectly positioned to dominate the market for years. blade co. technologles. all rlght. i'll send you a prospectus. -are you at the same address? doug, can i call you back in, say, ten minutes? so i get this signal. how about 5:00? slgnal from an f-class. -5:15. llke our sun but hotter. flrst they act like it's nothing. great. thanks. -now they're going to unimaginable pains to make it disappear. i thought you had a new job. somethlng is going on here, char. why the hell would they do that? what is it they're trying to hide? -maybe we could talk later. i need to talk about this now! i called last night twice. i got the messages. i thought the problem was i wasn't around enough. -now that i am, you're not. what is this, tales from the dark slde? i have been avoiding this. yes. okay. -deflne "this." the brokerage is strongly suggesting i head up the office in san dlego soon. it'd mean moving there. can you tell them no? thank you. -i tell you i'll support any career decision you make. but when it comes to my work-- you're considering this? char, it's mr. morgan on line five. and? -i got to take this. by any chance is he going to san dlego also? why don't you stick your paranoia back in your pants and get out of here? i wlll call you. flne. -no problem. when? whenever i get to it. "tuesday? wednesday? -a.m.? p.m.?" go! rlght now. they could be talking to us right now. -an array. phased array. good morning, mr. carblner. i'm horace with your local satellite company. good morning. can i see your dish? -what a glorious morning. hot enough for you? for a limited time, we're offering a free upgrade on a totally automated... flber-optlc control system. all this at no extra cost to you. no extra cost to you. -one of the many ways we're improving the quality of service to our customers. can i see your dish? jesus! what are you doing here? and how soon can you leave? -what are you doing here? i live here. do you mind? i mind you grabbing on me. let go! -i'm trying to help you down. i can do it myself! my butt is stuck. you live next door. wlth mrs. roosevelt. -that it? i live in i.a. just kicking it here a minute. i don't want anybody noslng around here. if i were going to steal your stuff, it would be over and done. what do you know about my stuff? -what are you doing climbing roofs at 1 :00 in the morning? shouldn't you be out tagging freeway signs? i don't got to tell you shit. flne. hang there all night. -hey! where you going? get me down. what are you doing? i told you to walt downstairs. -what's this? it's a cooling jacket for a low-nolse amp. don't touch it. what's that bllnky shit over there? wlll you just sit down? -put this on your ankle. i don't want that thing. it's cold. just keep your butt down... your foot up and your mouth shut. you can watch, but don't touch anything. -what are them dots? they're satellite dishes. each one. you string enough of them together, it makes one big radio antennae. what's it do? -it lets you get close to the stars. see if you get 92.9, k-bump. greetlngs from beyond the solar system. that, my friend, is voyager 2. what's that? -voyager is a planetary probe launched in the mid-'70s. they don't teach science in school anymore? too busy patting us down to see if we're strapped. i assume you mean guns. they find one on you? -not me. just everyone else. that's how come the folks want me out of i.a. crazy stuff going on. can i come in now? so, this is the star, wolf 336. -we check the spectra at different magnifications... looking for anything unusual. but, unfortunately, all we flnd is the typical radio noise of an f-class star. but you talked to them before, huh? the aliens? thls channel? -thls star, this frequency. but we can't really talk. it takes years for a radio wave to get here. so all we can really do is just listen. but what'd they say? before. -maybe how to live forever. maybe how to make nuclear power safe. i don't know. maybe they were just ordering out for a pizza. we won't really know what they're saying. -not at first. but that doesn't make it less important. if i can confirm this signal, if we can find it again... then we wlll finally, finally know that we're not alone. i wonder what they're going to look like. warnlng: -your sleep period is over. get out of bed. jesus! you going to try again? tonlght? -if you are, i could wait up and help some this time. dldn't tell anybody about our little clubhouse, did you? what am i? new? what about your grandma? -she doesn't care if you stay up late? not after 10:00. what happens at 10:00? she passes out on cough syrup. tell you what, whenever i'm up there, you can come over. -but only, only if you got the proper i.d. where i get that? what about me, huh? when can i do something? okay. -hlt that key. what one? that one. thls one here? yes. -are you sure it's okay? i'm sure it's okay. thls one right under my finger? glve me your badge. you're fired. -i'll do it. i'll do it. what's this signal going to look like? it's just a spike. a big one or a little one? because i got a big one. -that's it. that's exactly what calvln and i saw. come back! i didn't touch nothing, okay? that's the same thing. -same signature, same periodicity. what the hell? what is that lambada shit? it's got to be a bounce. radlo wave kicks off the inversion layer, comes back in through the system. -it's coming from earth? some mexlcan radio station on the same frequency tells us... where the bounce came from, but it doesn't-- but it's wack. all of it? walt a second. -the first signal was definitely sky based. we verified it. but this one is earth based. two identical signals. one comes from space, the other from earth. -i'm all screwed up here. it doesn't make any sense. unless they're talking. last night you were telling me we couldn't talk because it'd take years-- cal. -i got to talk to cal. i don't know. somebody said something about a faulty heater. carbon monoxide. really? -taklng him to county. yeah, sure, but this guy's d.o.a. what have we got here? huge concentrations of trace gas in central mexico, ecuador, brazll. look. -you can see for yourself. 700% increase over the last five years? how can that be? my very question. how accurate is this data you sent us, ilana? -it's hard to say. we cobbled it together from ground stations... weather balloons, uncle earl's aching corns. some of your numbers are there. no satellite data? nasa's bird has a bum wing. -you've obviously got some ratty data. we checked this as best we could. george, run me a future cast, will you? say, ten years, assuming the same increase. of course. -thls had better be wrong. accordlng to this, we're looking at an increase of 12 degrees centigrade... over the next decade, and that's just-- catastrophlc. i was going to say impossible. but, yes, that too. -central mexico. excuse me. you come to see the ruins, my friend? i take you to some much very good places. let's just head for town. -when does it start to cool off down here? in san marsol? thls is cool off. thls dial right? rlght, left. -both ways. thls radio station? you know where this is? very far. not close to town. -let's go there. how about the ruins? you want to see the ruins? the radio station. i need to go there. -i'm going to talk to the people. accldente, he say. but no persons was here-- when the fire come last night. i'm too late. -one day too late. posada san marsol. one of our much very best hotels. you see those? these tv dishes. -you know of any big ones? blg? blg. not small like these, but big. flfty, sixty feet wide. -blg. "one of our very much best hotels." thls is peter dowllng from slerra satelllte. just wondering if you were sick or dead or something. 'cause if you're not, you're fired. -sorry, pal. yeah, zane, this is doug. i heard about you and char. i heard it was skldsvllle. i'm sorry to hear that. -i know what it feels like. if you want to get together anytime, let's do it. we'll talk it through. i'm there for ya, man, okay? and would you mind if i got her number? -i want to talk to her about some investment possibilities. all right? thanks. i called this morning. just didn't leave a message. -are you there? i guess i didn't get back to you that night... because i was mad, zane. i get so tired of being questioned about even the basic things. i was feeling guilt too for steering you away from what you should be doing... from what you love the most. but you were such an ass the last time we talked. -damn. i can't remember if this machine lets you ramble... so i better just admit this quick. i miss your weird paranoid brain. call when you can. where are you, zane? -move! so just who the hell are you, huh? because i saw you in town. i saw you at the airport. you were waiting for me. -you knew, didn't you? how the-- where do you hide a 20-meter dish? research. jesus! -hey! excuse me. excuse me. what's going on here? i don't know. -these guys are stealing my stuff. they're taking my equipment. i was trying to work here. excuse me. what? -take it easy. wlll you guys take it easy? i know i should say thanks. but that was a pretty dicey stunt you pulled back there. you could have got us both shot. -you're welcome, and you're right. i saw you in town last night, didn't i? zane zamlnsky. am i still bleeding? a llttle. ilana green. -damn! it's hot in here. thlnk they'd have alr-condltlonlng in this place. i don't like blood. why were they roustlng you? -somethlng about my gear they don't like. what is all that stuff? it's technical. it looks like some kind of radiosonde for atmospheric sampling. that's right. -that's absolutely right. just who are you? can i ask what i've done wrong? i wish to apologize to you both. we have overreacted in this matter. -as for the equipment, it seems to be rulned. if you give me a local number-- walt. why was i detained? why did these men take my gear? you were on private land. -isn't this a public facility? please try to understand. thls is a new type of power station. wlth new technology come those who would llke to steal it. you're staying at san marsol, yes? -what do you mean, "new type"? you still burn fossil fuels, right? wlth great efficiency, very few emissions. what kind of emissions? i'm not an expert in this matter. -perhaps if you were to leave me a local number-- perhaps if you give me-- call it a push. come on. they say there's a twin for everyone in the world. -.that's not it roll the genetic dice often enough, they're gonna land on top of each other. trust me, ilana. that is not it. nlce of them to bring our cars here. -follow me back to town, and don't make any stops, all right? i understand you do residential work. i've got a little weeding problem i'm hoping you can help me with. it's really a very small job. here's the address. -we saw gulf hurricanes in march. rlght now there's a drought in the sudan, killing thousands. so we're talking global warming, right? yes and no. yes in that we show an increase in global temperature over the last decade. -it's not much, but if you factor out the cooling effects of volcanoes-- it's happening. our factories can't pump out 7 billion tons of co2 a year and not do damage. thls is the arctlc? nlnety miles from the pole. what's it doing there? -taken by itself, it's just another anomaly. but as a whole- the arctlc is very sensitive to environmental change. that's why we go there. thlngs happen first in the arctlc. -it's like a window on the future. so you're talking about something a lot bigger than global warming. i see some major climatic ordeal happening. god. i get so damned apocalyptic when i drink. -but you have to remember, every major turning point on this planet... including the demise of the dinosaur, began with a shift in climate. even a ten degree increase... will melt 70% of the polar icecap... wipe out all agriculture. ralse the temperature of the planet to change its atmosphere... into one suitable to colonization. terraformlng. what is that? -thls guy at j.p.l., he's been giving talks about mars... and how its whole environment could be changed... and how we can terraform it and then live there. it'll never happen, of course. it'd cost hundreds of billions. but he did say something about-- after the polar ice has been melted... the atmosphere again grows thicker. -flnally, a kind of critical mass is reached. what? i don't know. we might give him a call if it's not too-- jesus, i did the time warp dance here. -before i go around saying the sky is falling or even warming... i've got to get new gear from n-car. when do you leave? flrst thing in the morning. you? i don't know yet. -i still haven't seen everything i need to see. maybe a couple of days. i must say, zane, i really enjoyed our talk tonight. it's uncommon to find someone who can grasp the things i'm passionate about. yeah, i hear you. -where you staying? i was in room 302 at the big pink place... until it merged with room 402. some kind of an accident? everythlng is lately. how is this dump? -it's not bad with the lights off. maybe i'll get a room. well, look. i'm gone early in the morning. why don't you stay here now and keep the room tomorrow? -you mean, share it? there is a couch. we could at least keep the appearance of respectability. i suppose we could. not that i don't find the proposition intriguing. -not that you just proposltloned me. dld you? boy, that's a lot of guilt for someone who hasn't done anything yet. i take it there's a warm body in bed at home. out of my bed, still in my head. -i don't know. we will get back to that, but you still get downloads at home? stock stuff? yeah, but-- pianecorp industries. -check it out for me, will ya? slow modem. still waiting. when are you coming home, zane? i'm not exactiy-- -who said i was gone? i stopped by yesterday. the papers were stacking up so i put them inside. here we go. ticker p.l.c., pianecorp industries. -a leader in clean air technology. blah, blah, blah. they buy up old power utilities, overhaul and put them back on iine. ecuador, peru, three facilities in mexico. wait a minute. -back up. there's more than one plant? as of january 1, they have eight facilities on iine... and 12 more planned, all in third-worid countries. twenty plants? where's all the money coming from? -american investors. your mutual funds at work. wow. well, thanks for the help, char. wh- -what? that's it? after four weeks, you call me up for a stock report? i- i don't know what else to say. -how about "i miss you"? i shouldn't have to say it. if that's it... how big does that make the-- oh, my god. i'm sorry. -do you want to see the ruins, my friend? mr. zaminsky, we caught you speeding on the wrong side of the road. mr. zaminsky, we caught you speeding on the wrong side of the road. then you said you were in the cantina last night... with senorita what's-her-name? green. -iiana green. i suppose you were drinking. we had a couple of beers. that has nothing to do-- this week is ei dia de ios muertos, the day of the dead. -so what? as an american, you're not familiar with these costumes... with all these things we see all around. wrong. what i saw was no costume... was no paper mache skeleton. it was nothing like that. -the captain of security for the power station has called... to report an accident. that a man, intoxicated... killed someone with his car last night. an american man. no, that is not what happened. that is to say you were involved. -they are lying! it's up to me to decide who's lying. that's why i make the questions, and you give me answers. now, again, were you involved in this? i hit something... with the car. -now, who it was or what it was, i'm not sure. but if they're saying i killed someone, i want to see it. bring the body. i demand to see it! there's no need to demand that, mr. zaminsky. -that's exactly what they're doing. don't go anywhere. our word for an attorney is abogado. i suggest you-- mercury peaks around 99 degrees today. -yes, that will be a record for this day in october. but nowhere is it hotter right now than in the hallways of nasa... where officials are still trying to explain... what happened yesterday to that atmospheric satellite... that blew up just 32 seconds after launch. press conference now underway at j.p.l. in pasadena. anybody gonna lose their job over this? i'm really not the right p-- -you don't look too good. actually, i iook like a can of smashed assholes. here's a tip. if you ever get the chance to travel with a mexican rodeo... pass. look, zane, about before, i'm sorry. -d.o.d. was putting pressure on me to keep a lid on things. then you start asking questions in front of all those people. no, no. forget it. no hard feelings. -i just wanted to drop by and pay you a visit... check up on my old buddy gordy... maybe see what's really what... who's really who. i tell you, zane, you're really not making very much sense. we should walk over to the infirmary. it didn't make a iot of sense to me either... the first time i saw your face on another guy. genetic dice? -no, i don't think so. i think somebody just screwed up. as good as you are, you do make mistakes, don't you? they should have broke the mold, gordy. what do you want? -what do i want? i wanna blow a hole in your head and donate your organs to science. but there are a few things i need to know first. fuckin' n.r.a. it's just so easy to get one. -let's have a chat. yeah. okay. media center. looks like somebody stole some camera gear. -you want it? a real crime. somebody's on the way. so who was targeted? anyone in seti? -well, not anyone. who then? look in the mirror. prime intellect. nonconformist reasoning. -capacity for lateral thinking. isn't that what you see? and then what? a control is assigned? somebody like you? -could i actually see this gun of yours, zane? oh, sure. but if i pull it out, it'ii be the iast thing you ever see. well, i think it's possible to say... that you've been watched for quite a while now. so which programs besides seti? -nasa? ask yourself why an antenna won't deploy on a deep-space probe. or ask how they could launch a $6 billion telescope... without testing its mirror. what you're actually saying-- i'm saying nothing. -i'm just listening to you ask questions. then i'ii ask about pianecorp. pianecorp. sorry, i don't know what that is. you know, it's that factory down in mexico. -it's outside my knowledge. one of 20 being built in third-worid countries. outside. where no laws protect the air. outside my knowledge. -you build where it's hot. you like it hot, gordy, don't you? zane, if you force me to answer you... what you will be hearing is your own death sentence. now, as much as you think you know, you don't know the half of it. right now, you're just one little guy with a big conspiracy theory... and no proof, and the world is full of them. -so, zane, you take great care... in what else you choose to iearn. they're terraform factories? yes. you're pumping out greenhouse gas. now you're dead. -you're changing the air... the temperature, the whole ecosystem. we're just finishing what you started. what would've taken you 100 years we'ii do in 10. just speeding along your own demise. like you sped calvin along, and liana green, right? -if you can't tend to your own planet... none of you deserve to live here. bang. you're dead. don't tell me that's who i think it is. we have a problem here? -no. no problem. i'm gonna handle this myself. geez! zane, what are you doing out here? -you scared the iiving-- who's been here? anyone? anybody been watching my house? nobody i seen. -i can't believe they wouldn't be. i'm gonna say something that's gonna sound completely insane. i'm telling you because i think you might actually believe me. i'm also telling you because i can't be the only one who knows... in case they find me... before i finish this. -tell me. i followed the signal to mexico because we thought somebody was-- yeah, yeah. they weren't "us," kiki. so what was they? -do they got these little flashlight fingers that-- maybe they got these big metal teeth that come out and sort of-- what does they look like then? like you. like me. -like anyone. what they doing here? i'ii show you. i'ii show everyone, as soon as i fire up the array. shit! -you've been evicted. i gotta get out to oro valley, out to the big dish. hold this. don't drop it. what game does it play? -where's the start button? you going to let me in? who's char? i can't stay. if they're not here now, they will be soon. -who? the police? what about the police? they came to my work, some detective. he said something about manslaughter charges in mexico. -you're a fugitive? ooh, that's phat. the whole thing was fabricated. they set me up. i don't understand. -why would the police want to-- not the police. it was them. them. who's them? -forget it. probably the aliens. who is this child? and i hope he means illegal aliens. i'ii take your car. -give me that. no, you won't. not until i know what is going on here. look, it sounds nuts, but i know what i saw. i know why they're here. -i know about the poppy field in the arctic. their whole master plan about the air and the-- give me the keys. i can't let you go, zane. not alone, not iike this. -you don't have to come. i wouldn't believe it unless i'd seen it myself. but, char, i must leave now. if you think i'm letting you out of my sight, you are nuts. can i come? -get off me! this isn't a field trip. i ieft my grandma a note. i want to help. drive! -pull over at the on-ramp. i'ii drive. i've got shotgun. zane, i think that you've got to deal with this somehow. if it means both of us going to the police and expiain-- -i can't get stuck in some jail. not now. please, pull over. we're here. now, what do you hope to accomplish? -keys. keys. where's char? what are you doing? getting my stuff out of the car. -that all right? i just- the strangest thoughts. kiki, if it says "power," you push it. these monitors, this stuff here. -light it up-- everything. find omni star 5. i'ii need two sets of coordinates. right ascension and declination. i don't see how listening to some star-- -it's not a star, and this time we're talking, not listening. so this is some kind of satellite in orbit? it's a co-op weather satellite... one that about 50 tv stations pull a continuous feed off of. a hundred thousand watts ought to get their attention. they'ii understand what this means? -we're gonna find out... right now. shit. what's happening? what is wrong with this thing? gardening. -i didn't see any gardens around here. what are they doing here, char? like i should know. you made a call... from the car. when you start talking about aliens and master plans... and this woman being killed in mexico-- -did i mention that it was a woman? the police told me, okay? ah. and that's who you called, right, char? you called the police. -yes, it is. you were scaring me with your talk. you're scaring me now. as soon as i ieft seti, you left. as soon as i got back from mexico, there you were, waiting for me. -because i thought you might need me, zane. like i needed all that career advice? the gentle persuasion... the little nudges about how i was wasting my iife! cold. too cold. -i'm sorry. i am just so sorry. i didn't believe about-- you've got to trust me when i say that i only called the police... and only because i wanted-- -then what are they doing here? who told them to find me here? i don't know. i honestly do not know. watch this screen. -when you see my face, hit the red key right there next to you. the transmit key. you ain't leaving me here? don't worry. they'ii be chasing us. -we're going to give this one more shot. go. no, it's this way. go. give me the chain. -you can move the dish from here. go. i can do this. for once in your paranoid life, please just trust me. now, kiki. -now, kiki! hit it now! kiki, the red transmit key. hit it now! kiki, for shit's sake, hit it now! -now! now! hit it now! like i said. you didn't know the half of it. -zane, what happened? why did they leave? they didn't. how do you know? because we aren't dead yet. -help me. move! zane, can we get out of here now? not that way. i'ii be right behind you. -not... so... fast. oh, please. oh, please. please. why did it have to be like this? -why couldn't you just come and ask for our help? then you tell them-- you go back and tell them... that i know, that she knows... that others will know! it's not going to be easy. not anymore. -summer is just refusing to go away. record highs again in the big apple... while new england states report a delay of the fall foliage season. it's been warmer than normal up and down the eastern seaboard. they're terraform factories? yes. -you're pumping out greenhouse gas. now you're dead. you're changing the air... the temperature, the whole ecosystem. we're just finishing what you started. what would've taken you 100 years we'ii do in 10. -just speeding along your own demise. like you sped calvin along, and liana green, right? if you can't tend to your own planet... none of you deserve to live here. shouldn't be here. wolf 336, f class star, at right ascension 7.36.7. -5.21 declination. i thought that was the last one. why did you think that? because you said that it would be. no, i distinctly remember forgetting that. -i don't know why i put up with this. oh. yes, i do. because i let you drive. i'm rideshare hostage. -f class star. recent variability. 14.6 light years away. this is just nuts anyway, the whole approach. seti's tough enough on microwave band. -now you want to search fm? with all that noise? might as well look for a needle in a haystack... of needles. station 5. ly -honey, i'm trying to get out of here, but, as usual, calvin is holding me up again. should be home by 1:00, 1:30. 1:30, tuesday, wednesday, a.m., p.m.? what can i say? i'm a rideshare hostage. -i'm going to go... where are you? oh, i'm having a drink with becky. you're in some bar while i'm here working? mmm. -oh, there's a cute hockey player here, too, but he's only in town for one night. all right, i give up. what do you want? i want your ass in bed, zane. okay. -i'll leave now if you leave now. but do not talk to any strangers on the way out. i'll see you at my place in 83 minutes, okay? you swear you'll be there, zane? i really don't want a repeat of last week. -look, if i say i'm going to be there, i will be there, end of story. good solid spike. nice symmetry to the modulation. detection protocol, now. -zane. zane? confirmation phase 1. swing dish 5 degrees off axis. and signal fades. -looking good. now swing dish back on target. and signal returns. defiantly sky-based. wolf 336, you are howling. -phase 2. initiating software check. jumping ahead to phase 3-- second source verification. who's still online? green bank, ohio state, moffett field. -checking, here. still checking. be there. just be there. we got to get another ear on this thing. -software self-checks. phase 2 complete. i'm just waiting-- oh, come on, moffett. you're killing me. -i'm dying here. pick up the phone so we can confirm this...thing. nothing. zaminsky! zaminsky, this is not valet parking! -stalled out on me. stalled on me, this piece of... sorry, uh, sir. sorry. that's it? -42 seconds. we listened all night. all night, all morning, and the sound never repeated. it's 42 seconds of non-random, non-earth-based signal. this could be it, gordy. -sounds compressed like a military burst communication. no way. no way. not at 107 megahertz. 107? -what the hell are you doing so far below the microwave? good question. so this is a variable star? this, uh, wolf 336? 14.6 light years away. -all right. okay. so if it is a variable, it expands and contracts dramatically. so, gentlemen, maybe you can explain to me how intelligent life can actually develop in such a volatile environment. which means it's possible some life can still exist there. -exactly. maybe this is distress call. an sos. maybe they're sending out their encyclopedia galactica, jettisoning all their knowledge before it goes down with the ship. maybe-- -zane. zane! it lasted 42 seconds, and it never repeated. that's why we have to stay on this one, gordy, in case it does. look, i'll pull double shifts. -i'll pull triple shifts if i have to. but i want priority status and i want dish time. i want serious dish time. during normal business hours, preferably. calvin, why don't you, uh-- -why don't you go home and get some sleep, okay? go ahead. zane. it's a mandatory 20% cutback. tracking station has a fixed operating cost. -i can't touch that. i've got to look at personnel. are you even shitting me? look, i can- i can swing a month's pay, you know, instead of two weeks. -maybe extend the health benefits two weeks beyond that, but... let me see if i got this straight. i come to you with what may be the preeminent discovery of the 20th century-- the possibility of extrasolar life, and i get shit-canned for it? zane... i know how important this is. -but searching for e.t.s in this political environment is a tough sell on capitol hill. we don't start spending money on harder science, we're going to lose it. well, let's forget about me for a second. what about the signal? i'm skeptical, but it is interesting. -i'll pass it along to decoding. see if there's a pattern recognition there, but, uh... look, i don't have to tell you. you know the rule. if you can't confirm it-- -then it doesn't exist. what asshole made up that rule? can we fire him instead? it doesn't please me to be losing the brightest and the best. i wish there was another way. -i honestly do. hey, how are you doing for money? you know, if you need me to, i could maybe-- no, no. there's a study program up north. -the guy who runs it, bill wyatt, was begging me to come up there. i might give him a call. zane, you're not really thinking about going back to it, are you? oh, god, we had a bell-ringer this morning. really good signal. -i just-- i just couldn't confirm it in time. you had something really good last year, too. turned out to be what? a broken microwave oven. -what's your point? there's always something to give me false hope? that i'm wasting my life? i didn't say that. but, you know, it's interesting that you did. -oh. come on. someone is watching. what? how in the hell did i wind up with someone like you? -i get tired of rich guys with good futures. no, really. what is it you see in me? what made you call me the first time? boy, when their self-worth goes... -mmm. okay, i see a man of great intelligence, dedication, cute little kind of insecurity, a little paranoia. this went to shit fast. well, zane, why do we always have to analyze everything? can't you just trust that i love you? -algorithms, i trust. boolean logic, i trust. beautiful women, they just mystify me. two years and we're still talking about trust? it's amazing. -i should shut the hell up, huh? look, it's your career, zane, and i will support any decision that you make. but if we are going to make it, we've got to take care of our problems here on planet earth, and that is just a little hard when you're always off looking at the stars. listening. listening. -are we falling apart here? is that it, char? i don't know, zane. are we? how'd you do on the test? -pretty good. yeah. yeah. no, i'm saying it's incomplete. there's no chemical breakdown. -there's no broadband chart analysis. do you want me to go on? well, look, this information was promised to me two months ago. now, come on. these are not national secrets. -this is a routine analysis of the atmosphere. so why should i have-- there's a problem with that satellite. it's blind to certain trace gases. really? -as of when? i believe it lost a solar panel. some functions were shut down to save energy. well, look. here's my problem. -i've devoted my sabbatical to greenhouse trace gases. so if i don't get this data, i might as well be counting cow farts in montana. sorry, but you'll have to wait until the new satellite is in place. okay. -when's the launch date? nasa doesn't have that information. round and round we go. thanks for naught. yo, wyatt. -zane zaminsky. how are you, man? oh, yeah, zane. hi. look, i know you said you'd get back to me, but i felt obligated to give you a call, let you know about a job offer that came up. -telecommunications. looks pretty sweet, too. i mean, the health plan alone, you know? well, good. you should take it, zane, because i don't think things are going to work out here. -uh, but i- i-- i thought you were looking for-- for radio astronomers, bill. i- i- -some good creative thinkers. isn't that what you said? i remember you saying that. creative is one thing. too creative is another. -i'm not- i'm not tracking. i'm not sure i should be saying this, but i talked to phil gordian at jpl, and while he wouldn't quite-- well, the indication was-- just say it. he said you were faking signals in order to keep your job. -i do believe this permit's expired, zaminsky. why haven't you? zaminsky! zaminsky! to change the atmosphere into one suitable to colonization. -to construct farms, cities, and build an infrastructure capable of supporting thousands of colonists. make no mistake about it. never before have we undertaken a task-- ...have we undertaken a task of this size. the terraforming of mars. -do you know where phil gordian is? no. sorry. excuse me, is phil gordian here? no, uh-uh. -excuse me, have you seen phil gordian? no. well, somebody's seen him. damn it. excuse me, but perhaps you'd care to use the microphone. -yes. yes, i would. thanks. phil gordian-- has anybody seen him? i'm looking for phil gordian. -anybody seen phil gordian? why don't we step outside and let him finish. did you even give it to decoding? did you even see what was there? zane, why don't we take this outside. -if you're not going to analyze it, i want my tape back. i want it back. i'm sorry, i just-- i don't know what you're referring to. -okay, we don't you show me how smart you are by leaving right now. what's going on, huh? what are you doing this for? back it up. back it up. -let's go. why are you telling them lies about me? i said now. let's go. huh? -why? let's go. come on. let's go. why? -i'm sorry. he's a troubled young man. a very troubled young man. my apologies. please continue. -so where was i? polar ice. yes, after the polar ice has been melted, the atmosphere begins to grow thicker. finally, a kind of critical mass is reached. and at this point, the atmosphere begins to work for us. -station 5. just tell me. they're acting like it never happened. i just saw gordy. it's like we never gave him any tape. -uh, listen, zane-- and then i remembered, it should still be on the backup dat system. we should have a copy of the signal, right? well, uh, yes and no. um, there are some dod guys here, zane, going through our stuff as we speak. -apparently, it was a burst from a spy satellite. what? yeah, zane. it's a defense thing, you know? which is probably why gordian couldn't tell us about it. -you know, we weren't cleared for this spy shit. cal, cal, listen to me very carefully. satellites do not move like stars move. now, we track this thing in sidereal time. in star time, okay? -now, i don't know who these guys are, but i do know that they're lying to you. is this everything? cal, if you haven't told them about the backup system, don't. we have it all? don't you tell them, cal. -don't you dare! um, there, uh-- there's a backup system. hey. uh, so if this was a spy bird, we was it moving like a star? -we're not really sure. we'll have to get back to you on that. it's a very aggressive company. and with the federal mandate for airbags, they are perfectly positioned to dominate the market for years. blade co. -technologies. all right. i'll send you a prospectus. are you at the same address? uh, okay. -doug, can i call you back in, say, 10 minutes? so i get this signal. how about 5:00? a signal from an f class star. 5:15. -just like our sun, but a little hotter. first, they act like it's nothing. great. thanks. but now-- now they're going to unimaginable pains to make it disappear. -zane, i thought you had a new job. something's going on here, char. i mean, why the hell would they do that? what is it that they're trying to hide? maybe we could talk about this later. -i need to talk about this now. i called last night, twice. i got the messages. i thought the problem was i wasn't around enough. now that i am, you're not. -what is this, tales from the dark side? i guess i have been avoiding this, yes. okay. define "this." zane, the brokerage is strongly suggesting that i head up the office in san diego soon. -it'd mean moving there. okay. can you tell them no? oh, thank you, zane. i tell you i'll support any career decision that you make, but when it comes to me and my work-- -you're actually considering this? char, it's mr. morgan on line 5. and? i got to take this. by any chance is he going to san diego also? -zane, why don't you stick your paranoia back in your pants and get out of here? i will call you. okay, fine. no problem. when? -whenever i get to it. tuesday, wednesday, a.m., p.m.? go! right now. they could be talking to us right now. -hoo hoo! an array. phased array. good morning, mr. carbiener. i'm horace with your local satellite company. -good morning. can i see your dish? what a glorious morning. hot enough for you? for a limited time, we're offering a free upgrade on a totally automated fiber-optic control system. -all this at no extra cost to you. no extra cost. no extra cost to you. one of the many ways which are improving the quality of service to our valued customers. can i see your dish? -aah! jesus. ow. what are you doing here? and how soon can you leave? -what are you doing here? i live here. do you mind? i mind you grabbing on me. let go. -i'm trying to help you down. i can do it myself. aah, my foot is stuck. you live next door. mrs. roosevelt, is that it? -i live in i.a. just kicking it here a minute. i don't want anybody nosing around here. hey, if i were going to steal your stuff, it would be over and done, okay? just what do you know about my stuff? -and what are you doing climbing roofs at 1:00 in the morning? shouldn't you be out tagging freeway signs or something? i don't got to tell you shit. fine, hang there all night. hey! -hey, where you going? get me down out of here. what are you doing? i told you to wait downstairs. what's this thing here? -a cooling jacket for a low noise amp. don't touch it. what's that blinky shit over there? would you just sit down? put this on your ankle. -i don't want that thing. it's cold. just keep your butt down, your foot up, and your mouth shut. you can watch, but don't touch anything. they're satellite dishes. -each one. you string enough of them together, it makes one big radio antenna, basically. but what's it do? it lets you get close to the stars. see if you get 92.9 kbump. -greetings from beyond the solar system. that, my friend, is voyager 2. what's that? voyager is a planetary probe launched in the mid '70s. they don't teach science in school anymore? -too busy patting us down, seeing if we strapped. i assume you mean guns. they find one on you? not me, just everyone else. that's how come the folks want me out of i.a. -crazy stuff going on. can i come in now? so this is the star, wolf 336. we'll check the spectra at different magnifications, looking for anything unusual. but unfortunately, all we find is the typical radio noise of an f class star. -but you talked to him before, huh? the aliens. this channel. this star. this frequency. -but we can't really talk. you see, it takes years for a radio wave to get here. so all we can really do is just listen. but what'd they say, before? maybe how to live forever. -maybe how to make nuclear power safe. i don't know. maybe they were just ordering out for a pizza. you see, we won't really know what they're saying. not at first, but that doesn't make it any less important. -if i can confirm this signal, if we can find it again, then we will finally, finally know that we're not alone. i wonder what they're going to look like. your sleep period is over. get out of bed. warning. -your sleep period is over. get out of bed. warning. your sleep period is over. jesus. -going to try again? tonight? if you are, i could wait up and sort of, you know, help some this time. you didn't tell anybody about our little club house, did you? what am i, new? -what about your grandma? she doesn't care if you stay up late at night? not after 10:00. what happens at 10:00? she passes out on cough syrup. -tell you what. whenever i'm up there, you can come over. but only-- only if you got the proper id. so where i get that at? what about me, huh? -when can i do something? okay. hit that key. what one? that one. -this one here? yes. are you sure it's okay? i'm sure it's okay. this one right under my finger? -give me your badge. you're fired. i'll do it. i'll do it. so, what's the signal going to look like? -just a spike. a big one? or a little one? because i got a big one. that's it. -that's exactly what calvin and i saw. no, no, no. no, come back. and i didn't touch nothing, okay? it's the same thing. -same signature, sameperiodicity-- what is that lambada shit? it's got to be a bounce. radio wave that kicks off the inversion layer and then bleeds back in through this system. it's coming from earth? -some mexican radio station on the same frequency tells us where the bounce came from, but it doesn't... but it's whack. all of it? wait a sec. the first signal was defiantly sky-based. -we verified it. but this one is earth-based. two identical signals. one comes from space, the other from earth. i'm all screwed up here. -it doesn't make any sense. unless they're talking. hey, but last night, you were telling me how we couldn't talk because it would take years. cal. i got to talk to cal. -yeah, sure. this guys doa. huge concentrations of trace gas here in central mexico, ecuador, brazil. look, you can see for yourself. 700% increase over the last 5 years? -how can that be? my very question. just how accurate is this data you sent us, ilana? well, it's hard to say. i mean, we cobbled it together from ground stations, weather balloons, uncle earl's aching corns. -some of your own numbers are in there. no satellite data? nasa's bird has a bum wing. well, you've obviously got some ratty data. we checked this as best we could. -george, run me a future cast, will ya? say, ten years, assuming the same increase. of course. well, it had be wrong, because according to this, we're looking at an increase of 12 degrees centigrade over the next decade. and that's just-- catastrophic. -well, i was going to say impossible, but, yep, that, too. central mexico. uh, excuse me. you come to see the ruins, my friend? i take you to some much very good places. -no, let's just head for town. when does it start to cool off down here? in san marsol? hah. this is cooler. -this dial right? right, left, both ways. this radio station, you know where this is? oh, very far. not close to town. -let's go there. how about the ruins? you want to see the ruins, my friend? the radio station. i need to go there. -i'm going to talk to the people. accidente, esse. but no persons was here-- gracias a dios-- when the fire come last night. too late. ¿como? -one day too late. posada san marsol. one of our much very best hotels. uh-huh. señora, you see those things? -¿como? these tv dishes, allí y allí. you know of any big ones? big? yeah, big. -not small like these, but-- but big. 50, 60 feet wide. she must have chewed a hole in his eardrums with her diatribes. the irony is, she wasn't in love with me. a one-way street. -guess that makes me look like a fool. not in my book. rabb: listen, gunny this may come as little consolation but you will be cleared in our report. you had no way of knowing. -thank you, sir. and you deserved better from us than our skepticism. no, i was never offended, ma'am. what goes on in this part of the world-- it's a lot bigger than me. important thing is, we got our man. -coulter: i wish i had better news. unfortunately i've been unable to locate any other body parts that match the dna from the finger we've confirmed is kabir's. rabb: could the rest of him have been incinerated? -even then, there would have been bones, teeth, something. how do you account for the finger? well, the tissue was charred which obscured how it was removed. on closer inspection, i realized it had been severed not torn off, as you'd expect in an explosion. like with a knife? -yeah. mackenzie: why? to put us off the scent. make us think he was dead. -he cut off his own finger? that's my theory. what kind of a man would do that? the kind of man who'd fly a passenger plane into a building, ma'am. given kabir's profile, it makes sense. -yeah, most likely slipped away with the others. webb: which means that not only is he still alive but so is his plan. ( speaking arabic ) don't waste your time. -she's not interested. uh huh. maybe she's interested, she just doesn't know it yet. damn. i told you. -blah blah blah. hey, can i get a virgin daiquiri? you got it. wooh. aren't you the wild and crazy woman tonight. -hey, i'm taking it easy tonight. that's a big surprise. you take it easy every night. c'mon let's get funky, girl. you know, just because you think i'm a little conservative doesn't mean that i... doesn't mean that, what, you're uptight? -you think i'm uptight? maybe a little. you could loosen up some. i am the most easy-going person i know. uh huh? -uh huh. thanks. it's taken care of. the gentleman behind you? thank you. -caleb. dance with me. excuse me. can i get one more, please? thanks. -never thought i'd meet someone like you in a place like this. you know, i don't even know your last name. mathius. caleb mathius. feels like i've known you my whole life. -god, that sounds like the biggest come on-line. no it doesn't. not coming from you. maybe we should slow down. come on, emma. -just one more kiss? you okay? i think so. what the hell happened right there? i think he was trying to kill me. -i don't understand it. where were you when this was going on? i was sitting at the bar. it all seemed harmless enough. i mean, the guy looked completely normal. -he was. at first, it was just an innocent kiss, but, then something started to happen. i couldn't breath and i felt like i was suffocating. and that's when i came around the corner. it just looked like the guy was sucking the life right out of her. -all right. let me see what i can find out about this guy from the database. what's his name again? caleb mathius. caleb mathius. -meanwhile, why don't you and jesse go back to the nightclub. see what you can dig up. i'm going, too. no, no. wait. -until we know more about this guy, i'd feel better if you just stayed here. and i'd feel a lot better going with them. the last thing i want to do is hang around here playing the poor victim. yeah, all right. watch her. -we're in the middle of a crisis that desperately needs to be stopped. six promising new mutant recruits have been found dead within the past five months. any theories, miss fries. have you ruled out the possibility these recruits defected to mutant x? do you mean to tell me, in your expert opinion, that adam is trying to form some kind of new mutant sorority? -course not, mr eckhart. i'm merely trying to rule out the obvious. yes, well, you'll excuse me if i find your investigation... god, about as cold as this coffee. allow me. given the grave circumstances, i do hope your new mutant abilities prove more useful to me than as a human hotplate. -i believe we're dealing with a mutant serial killer. his victims have been preyed upon, if you will. he knows what he wants. so he takes them by surprise. alured is a more apt description. -this monster we're looking for isn't wearing a hockey mask or wielding an axe. he's handsome, charismatic, charming, with the ability to disarm his victim with a gesture. your hypotheses are intriguing. but at this point, i'm much more interested in a result. i understand. -my investigation has pin-pointed a possible suspect. i'm confident that the killer is... good. i want an end to this murder spree immediately. club's not open. yeah, we know. -just wanted to ask you a few questions, though. you probably remembers from last night. we were both here. you served us. hey, we get a lot of traffic. -one of your party boys attacked our friend last night. he bought me drink? his name is caleb mathius. six foot, dark hair, medium build. haunting eyes. -anybody who fits that description? sorry. but when you pour drinks for eight hours and get hit on by anything wearing pants, faces start to blur. i wish i could be more help. did you sense anything? -she's scared. let's take a look around, huh. any luck? no. i just searched the database up and down, and i can't find a caleb mathius anywhere. -it's like he doesn't exist. yeah. maybe he gave her an alias. i mean, he clearly exists, right? the question is, what does he want with emma? -wait a minute. take a look at this. i just pulled up a missing persons file. yeah. six women over the last five months have disappeared in the vicinity of that nightclub. -so it's not an isolated incident. i don't think so. they all have the same profile. all young, attractive women. yeah. -we need to get her off the street. brennan? i want you and jesse to bring emma back to sanctuary immediately. why? what's the rush? -it's just not safe for her out there right now. i don't want to take any chances. all right. we're on our way. what? -no re-match? that's him. nothing more we can do. let's get out of here. come on. -emma. let's go. mr eckhart, the killer you sought is dead. finally putting an end to his rampage. yes. -i understand your weapon of choice was a gsa vehicle. i must admit my methods were a little unorthodox. but i didn't want to risk losing him. were you at least able to retrieve the remains of mr mathius, so we can perform an autopsy? there was a commotion. -miss fries, in order to truly understand the criminal mind, and to prevent this catastrophe from happening again, it is imperative we have a subject to examine. perhaps the next time you decide to do a hit and run, you'll be prudent enough to pick up the body before you run. brennan? jesse? who's there? -hello, emma. aren't you glad to see me? how about one more kiss? adam! adam! -you've got to do something. what? he's here. who's here? caleb. -he was standing right here. it must have been a vision. but it was so real. something happened when he kissed me. i can't explain it, but it... it's like we're connected some how. -hey, emma. it's okay. you're okay now. no. i think he's alive. -i think caleb is still out there. emma, you saw him die with your own eyes. so did brennan and jesse. look, i don't care. he's alive. -i feel it. and if we don't do something, he's going to kill again. emma. what? you think i'm crazy. -no, no one's saying you're crazy... you don't have to. emma. emma, wait. keep your eye on her. guys, i want you to hack into the county morgue and check out their surveillance records. -the morgue? what for? emma thinks caleb's still alive. are you kidding? the guy's toast. -adam, she's just a little freaked out, that's all. i hope you both are right, but we know enough about her psionic powers that we gotta check this out. agreed? yeah. why are you following me? -because i'm worried about you. you're worried that i'm losing my mind and that i'm seeing things. you know that's not true, emma. i don't know what's happening to me. want to talk about it? -might help. it's like he's still got some kind of hold on me. caleb? yeah. i was drawn here for some reason. -brennan, check this out. 1:47pm two paramedics show up with the body of caleb mathius. yeah, so what, he looks pretty dead to me. yeah, me too. but wait'll you see this. -hey, wait a minute. that's the chick from the gsa that tried to run me down. yeah, it gets worse. look who she leaves with. oh my god. -yeah. this jerk just doesn't want to stay dead. sorry. this was a waste of time. not if it puts your mind at ease. -i don't mind looking. so what about you? you picking up anything? no, i tried. i'm not getting anything. -why don't we just head back. okay. i'm going to run to the ladies' first. hey, adam, it's emma. we're on our way back. -good. see you here. hey, adam. emma was right. caleb is among the walking dead. -great. and now i know why we couldn't locate him in the database. it's because he's listed as deceased. so, what? he can revive himself after death? -it looks that way. you mean like a modern day vampire? yeah. how's that possible? well, we know that there are new mutants who can subsist off the absorbed energy of plant life, right? -so maybe what we're dealing with is an evolving mutation with a similar ability. so you mean this guy is feeding on the life force of new mutants? yeah, like giving them the kiss of death. or something like that. emma, you ready to go? -emma? adam. something's wrong. i can't find emma anywhere. where are you? -the red club. emma wanted to come one last time, just to make sure she wasn't crazy. i left her alone for two minutes. when i got back all i found was her com-link. all right, shalimar, i want you to come back to sanctuary immediately. -what about emma? i'm going to send brennan and jesse. now don't worry. they're going to find her. i want you to come back here asap. -you understand? yeah. i'm on my way. welcome to my world. my home. -morning. why are doing this, caleb? i don't have a choice. i have to, to survive. what do you want? -sympathy? you filthy parasitic freak. well, aren't you the bold one. nice try, emma. but your little mind games won't work on me. -what are you going to do to us? never ask a question which you don't want answered. no, don't waste your energy. the cuffs are titanium reinforced. looks like you're screwed. -what about you? as a precautionary measure, eckhart implanted me with a gsa tracking device. my people should be on their way. i hope for your sake they show up in time. unless we want to put our heads together and work as a team. -we are chained in a cellar in the middle of god knows where. what'd you have in mind? i'm a psionic. what about you? elemental. -i can raise and lower my body temperature. really? how low can you go? i'm afraid we lost contact with miss fries at the morgue. more alarmingly, the body of caleb mathius has mysteriously disappeared. -but where is it? it couldn't have just gotten up and walked out? i'm afraid, sir, that is exactly what has happened. i had one of our techs retrieve a blood sample from the scene of the accident. these cells not only appear to be alive, they're actually regenerating. -how is that possible? it's my theory we're dealing with a new mutant who's serial killing rampage is driven not by deviant criminal behaviour but practical necessity. it's fascinating. so he actually has the power to survive death. i want this new mutant captured immediately so we can examine this precious dna. -but, sir, he could be anywhere. that's where you're wrong, dr. harrison. call security, get miss fries' tracking codes. our global satellite system will be able to pinpoint her exact location. -let's just pray he has her. it's useless. you can do it, pamela. you just need to lower your body a few more degrees. i can't. -i'm not strong enough. i told you. i'm going to help you. but i can't do it alone. i need you to concentrate. -now close your eyes and focus all your energy on the hand cuffs. good. that's it. keep going. now. -it worked. now try me. pamela. i don't think so. eckhart's got this thing about us helping the other side. -sorry. you can't just leave me here. you know what he's going to do to me. caleb's alive. yeah, i'm afraid so. -he's got her, doesn't he? i want to go get her. no, no, no. i don't want to lose you. it's too dangerous for you out there right now. -you just let jesse and brennan find her. yeah, and what if they can't? look, there's the possibility that he's got her locked away somewhere just as insurance. what happens if he needs to feed? well, hopefully, we'll find her before that happens. -here. thank you. don't spread it around. oh. oh! -now that was cool. pamela, look out! pamela! caleb, no! pamela's been implanted with a tracking chip. -her people are looking for her. if you don't get her out of here now, they're going to find you. i'm telling you the truth, caleb. you've got to trust me. why are you trying to help me? -because i don't believe that you want to hurt me. i think you do it to stay alive. it's your mutation. but if you don't get her out of here now, they're going to find us. i already told you. -i don't know anything. well that's not going to work for you this time. where's caleb? look, i don't have to answer any of your questions. yeah, you do. -you see, he's got someone who means a lot to us. and we're not just going to walk away. look, we know you're scared. we just want to get our friend back. what, are you hiding him? -i don't know anything. i'm not responsible. but you're involved - somehow. you're a new mutant, aren't you? i have the ability to detect other new mutants. -you've been helping him, haven't you? and feeding him his victims one by one. hm. it's not that simple. he was going to kill me. -then tells us where he is. we can protect you. you can't. no one can. you don't get it, do you? -caleb can't be killed. he just keeps coming back. we have a problem. if caleb can regenerate every time he's killed then we can't stop him. not necessarily. -as soon as he regenerates he needs to feed on new mutant life force to recharge his metabolism, right? but what if he's killed again before he has a chance to recharge? think that can kill him for good? well, it might be the window we need to shut him down. adam. -yeah, brennan, go ahead. so it turns out the waitress has been feeding caleb his new mutant victims. but she won't tell us where he is. what, she won't tell you because she doesn't know or because she's afraid to? because she doesn't want to be his next meal. -we're going to head over to her apartment now. take a look around. all right. good. you guys let me know what you come up with. -shalimar? okay, emma, i did it. i got rid of her. so they're not going to find us. good, caleb. -that's great. oh, what's the matter? nothing. i'm fine. your handcuffs. -they're uncomfortable. no, no. that's fine. so you were trying to get away? no, that's... -that's not it. liar! don't insult me, emma. i was hoping that you were different. i thought you understood me. -i do, caleb. i was just scared. i didn't know what to do. how can i trust you, emma? what do you want from me? -a kiss. i'm going to make this real easy for you. i know you know where caleb has my friend. look... no, you look. all i'm asking you to do is what you've done for this creep time and time again. -tell him you found another one. take me to him. now. emma? emma. -emma? emma. emma. emma. oh god. -i'm so sorry, emma. it's over. she's gone. i won't let you do this to anyone ever again. you can't stop me. -no one can. adam. emma's dead. i didn't make it in time. she's gone. -well, wait. where's caleb? i killed him. shalimar, that's when he regenerates and needs to feed. so, i want you to listen to me very carefully. -i need you to get out of there now. shalimar. shalimar? shalimar! when are you going to learn to stay down? -you. kiss yourself goodbye. your nine lives are up. she's alive. pity she couldn't be more helpful. -i'm afraid the only thing left to tell us is the method by which she died forensically speaking, of course. hopefully, we can discover how the new mutant absorbs the life force of the other new mutants. what's going on? well, so much for the autopsy. -are you sure you should be out partying like this? i'm fine. besides, this is exactly what i needed. how are you two doing? hey, want to take a hike? -you heard him. next time. yeah, right. okay, this is ridiculous, you guys. i'm fine. -i can handle myself. now go out there and have some fun, or please, at least let me. i mean it. go. be good. -yeah, right. emma. so how about it? one more kiss? you can't hurt me any more, caleb. -you're dead. hey. hey. can i buy you a drink? how about a dance? -all right. all right. and then i'll buy you a drink. okay. it's starting! -rainbow randoiph! welcome to the rainbow randoiph show! kidnet presents america's favorite kid-show host the friendliest friend on earth, rainbow randolph! featuring angelo pike and the krinkle kids! friends come in all sizes -that's right, rainbow. friends come in all sizes that's a fact, it's true all the colors of rainbow from mauve to blue their names are different their shoes don't match some like to toss while others to catch -one might say "grasp" while the other says "snatch" because friends come in all sizes take it from me golly gee, size never matters when you want some friendly patter from a pal who is true -and can lift you up when you're blue you can count on him he can count on you it's true friends come in all sizes friends come in all sizes yes, they do -you know what else comes in all sizes?

! yeah. -are you serious? yeah as a heart attack. i'm glad i didn't know you were here. that might have thrown me off. i was born november 11, 1970. -you know what else happened that day? the first sesame street. you wouldn't believe what it took to get soy dogs here. hello? people, wake up and smell the future. -organic, twice the protein and nobody gets killed. i'm gonna get you on these giuten-free buns. we will change the world! aii right, sheidon. like i was saying, my friends are always saying: -"as talented as you are, if you don't learn to sell yourself a little you'ii always be playing to a very appreciative, but limited audience." spiruiina with almond butter? sure you don't wanna try? no. this is children's entertainment. -it's about doing good work. having integrity. a good show, with the foundation of a positive message. you can't build a foundation with plaster of paris. you use concrete. -that is concrete, sister. that is integrity! i can see that. sorry. listen, mr. mopes. -the reason i'm here.... kidnet is currently looking for a performer with convictions and integrity. somebody like yourself. hold the phone. kidnet is finally ready to pursue a show of smoochy caliber? -i mean, to commit to smoochy quality? yes, i believe we're ready to push ourselves to that level. i knew it! i knew it. i knew if i waited long enough i knew somebody would come along one day who took a look at me and understood what i do. -that's you. you get me. i'm afraid so. well, nora wells, miss v.p. of development let's you and me go make history! i iike it. -get your $50 bump for working in smoke this week. hey, angelo. i was a big fan of your work with the krinkie kids. i appreciate you coming over to be a rhinette. a job's a job. -see you out there. where can you go when skies turn gray where the sun always shines and the animals play where every day is a happy day well, smoochy's here to show the way smoochy's magic jungle -it's a happy, it's a happy happy, happy place hip, hip, hip, hooray! i thought you weren't coming. you'd forgotten. agreed to meet you. -i had a dinner engagement. really? i used to have dinner engagements. four or five a night. don't do this, randy. -i'd go to a restaurant, 10 guys reached for my hat. i'd go to take a piss, they'd clear the restroom. you know why? i'm rainbow-fucking-randoiph, that's why! you through? -what? you got things to do? you don't have time for me? the guy who earned for you? put the armani surplus suits on your back? -the coq au vin in your brooklyn mouth. we helped each other. till someone messed up.... who could that be? right, it was rainbow-fucking-randoiph! -for what? ass-wipe money. you gotta fix this. i want my old time slot back. i can't sit and watch that one-horn carpetbagger get my time slot. -he gets a free ride on my dime. come on. we got a history. there's nothing i can do for you. you're a pariah. -i can't even be seen with you. don't do this to me. i'm going down for the iast time. they kicked me out of the penthouse. i'm homeless. -put yourself in my capezios. the truth is, your shoes have become my shoes. as long as he's on, everything's by the book. no percentage, no skim. network wanted squeaky clean and they got it. -mopes is sparkling. please? you got nothing left? exactly. that's what i've been trying to tell you. -what's this? a rain forest benefit freebie bag. disposable camera kahiúa flavored peanuts hand lotions, no animai-tested.... don't ever contact me again, randy. get out of the car. -you know what to do with the lotion, jerk-off. you'ii get yours! the rhino too! wheels are turning! even a guy who's squeaky clean fails into the mud. -smoochy and rhinette dolls would be sold separately. these are prototypes. i've been assured that all the bugs will be worked out. let's recap. yes to the smoochy ice cream, the string cheese the cola. -we're in a dick-measuring contest over the shampoo. time out, people. let's hold the phone a second. if i might interject. we need to re-examine our principles. -we are still trying- smoochy is still trying to earn these kids' trust. we won't do that by selling string cheese and shampoo and cola which contains no less than two addictive substances. we need to focus on putting together the best show possible. deliver a positive message, without bells and whistles. -can i get an amen, somebody? are you with me on this, team? damn. i got that. shut the door, please. -now lock it. thanks. we're deciding if smoochy-o's are frosted or fruit-fiavored. if anybody has a strong feeling.... our survey shows a dead heat. -frosted for old and fruity for young. have them both. good. i iike frosted. i iike sweeter. -me too. as a kid i ate frosted. let's go the oid-fashioned way.... i want to tell you honestly, i felt.... hey! -nora! wait up. i thought that was a good meeting today. we tackled some hot issues. i felt once or twice my voice wasn't being heard. -that's a conservative estimate. i want the show to have weight. substance. silly songs, absolutely, but with a message. guess how many compositions i have in the smoochy songbook. -do you sense my lack of interest? over 300 on subjects from vegetables to the importance of donating plasma. i'm a valuable resource, nora. use me-- okay, stop talking. -i'm gonna make this real easy for you. the only reason you're on tv is because rainbow randoiph is a scumbag. i didn't discover you. i delivered you, iike groceries. i got more emotional investment in my nail polish. -so don't peddie your sap to me. your job is to smile and nod your head. look. i'm not literally comparing captain kangaroo to jesus christ. i'm saying that the captain, iike christ was someone you could really believe in. -with those guys it wasn't about the bells and whistles, it was all about the work. especially jesus. i mean, forget about it. i never saw anybody get buzzed on orange juice. i'ii tell you a secret: -pop a little liquid alfalfa in it it's biastoff time. let me have a five crown. hey. smoochy the rhino. that's me. -i'm a big fan. that's the first time anybody recognized me out of the suit. burke bennett. kid-show talent agent. nice to meet you. -nice to meet you. network goons are like that. stokes tried to screw him out of merchandising points. claimed he had a warehouse full of dicky dolls that weren't moving. we're friends for years. -i say to him, "show me the warehouse." i walk out of there with a check for 100 grand stokes is sitting with his thumb up his ass. that's a great story, but the thing is, with me, i don't care about that stuff. i don't care about smoochy dolls, chocolate, floor wax. i care about getting creative input on my own show. -you know, this rhino came from my womb. okay? i birthed him. i nursed him. damn it, i ought to be the one who raises him. -it's all about the dough. once you get money, you get power. once you get power, you can have smoochy walk out with a dildo strapped to his head. i haven't thought of that idea. i do see where you're going with this. -when you wanna talk, i'ii cut the strings. i'ii open the magic door for you. well, how do you iike that? i laid the groundwork. he's a bank with a horn. -you'll make more with him than 20 randolphs. important to the parade of hope. it's in the bag. we might have to massage him. don't make me lose my smile, burkey-boy. -a special batch of cookies for a very special rhino. how thoughtful of me. they're beautiful. you're going to iearn about shame, my dear smoochy, and i'm your professor. can we talk? -why was the "please and thank you song" cut? it takes away from the "cookie song." the "cookie song" is meaningless fluff without it. that's the lesson. the moral anchor. -it's cut. and i want the cookie lyrics changed back. i won't encourage kids to eat a iot of sugar. i have to like myself. this is not a sprout farm. -you're here to sell sugar and plastic. do you hear yourself? i won't do it. does that say "nora's magic jungle"? no. -i'm not your puppet. since when? get your spongy pink ass out there and dance for the cameras. this is a kid show. those are children i'm singing to out there. -you don't even see children anymore. you just see wallets with pigtails. bonsoir, le smoochy. welcome to fatty arbuckie-iand. don't worry, little ones. -rainbow randoiph will return. aii right! i'ii tell you something. that jiggy-ing and ziggy-ing makes me hungry. when i'm hungry, what time is it? -magic cookie time! what? magic cookie time! that's right! everybody in the middle! -get in the middle! angelo, hit me! give them a cookie. lookie, lookie, lookie here comes the cookie fresh and organic -no need to panic he didn't change it. straight from the soil no tropical oil sweetened with juice for an energy boost whatever, fucking peasant. -who wants the first cookie? me! let's see what we got today! give them a cookie. my! -it's a.... it's a.... a rocket ship! it's a rocket ship to fly us to jungle land! here we go! -fuck! follow me! we're flying over the trees on our magic rocket. what a special day! special cookies. -are you blind? it's a cock! it's not a rocket! what is this? randoiph! -get him out! look. it's a cock and balls! it's a dick! chorizo and the huevos! -it's a big stiffy! it's a penis! penis maximus! a wiiiie! mr. jiggie daddy! -get him out of here! the one-eyed wonder weasel! it's jimmy and the twins. rumpie foreskin. he made this. -it's made from dii-dough. wave bye-bye! thanks for visiting! let go of me! i'm rainbow-fucking-randoiph. -i know the way-- i want to thank you all for having this sit-down. we have wrinkles in the communication and collaboration departments. i'm not pointing fingers. you start pointing and someone gets poked. -it's not my intention to try and poke either of you. anyhoo, this is my new agent, burke bennett. he has experience facilitating in these situations. i think he'ii help us through this moment together. here's burke! -thank you, sheidon. frank, you see this guy? take a good look. because this guy saved your ass. without him, you'd be sitting in kaplan's sucking club soda through a paper straw while your table at 21 was occupied by the new marion frank stokes and his twat du jour. -excuse me. no excuse for you. we've always made arrangements. why the fireworks? i'm holding the gunpowder. -i represent the man who created owns and controls every inch of smoochy the rhino. you seem to forget we found this guy, dug up his corpse, handed him a show when he couldn't sell his face. no, a iot of people went out for that clinic gig. they hired me.... let me untangle this web. -i don't care if his last job was juggling apples for pygmies in the congo. this man fits the bill and you need him. he'ii get what he deserves. and what would that be, exactly? to the star and new executive producer of the smoochy show. -i'm still in shock. run me through this again. i have complete creative control. veto power over merchandising. corporate penthouse. -cushy. i must be dreaming. think of it as the high life. get used to it. you'ii be pissing on $100 bills just to see the look on franklin's face. -i couldn't. i have too much respect for what he accomplished. yeah, he's a good man. what's this? keep it down. -what did you do, you snake? a graduation present. think of it as a tool of the trade. i can't accept this. no? -i don't believe in guns. really? when we'd play cowboys and indians as kids, i was a chinese rail worker. trust me, it's a handy accessory to have in this business. let me get that for you. -oh, boy. when this guy comes over, don't talk to him or he'ii stay here yakking all night. love that one. is that spinner dunn, the boxer? fried beans. -you don't retire with an 81 -and-59 record and end up governor. he's gotta be smart to run a place like this. spinner? he couldn't run a water faucet. he's a mascot. -it's his cousin, tommy cotter. heavy hitter. her and her boys, they run the joint. irish mob. how do you iike that? -strawberries and.... here he comes. smoochy! hey, i'm spinner! i'm so excited to meet you! -i'm excited to meet you too, spinner. i'm spinner. right. you're a fan of the show. smoochy, you know what i iove? -i iove when you do the jiggy ziggy dance, you know? the one you do during silly time? that's one of our big numbers. you wanna see me do it? see you do the jiggy ziggy? -yeah! sometime. i'ii do it for you here. smoochy, i'ii do it, watch. excuse me, senator. -sure. i iove you so much. i iove you too. i'm spinner. right. -hey, spinner. come here and meet the senator. you go ahead. it was a real honor. smoochy's here! -that's nice for you. wait till i tell my folks i met spinner dunn. the one and only. seems like a sweet guy. don't go anywhere, smoochy. -i'ii be right back after i take a dump. i think you made a new friend, kid. since randoiph got pinched, there's air in the pipes. how are you fixing it? the rhino's still a little green. -eventually, he'ii come around. he has to get a taste of how we do things. i have no time for "eventually." eventually, we get old and die. sometimes "old" doesn't happen. i'm doing my best. -the network is watching closely. you got a problem, son. the rhino better learn to play ball, and soon. otherwise, he might need a little coaching. wipe your forehead, frank. -you got plenty of time to sweat. who is it? open up, baby, it's randoiph. it's been a iong time. randy? -angie. fucking traitor! you left me for the rhino! i gotta eat, don't i? you strapped that horn on pretty fast! -you're a krinkie kid, say it! rhinette. say it. "i am a krinkie kid." say it before god and all the bones of the saints! i'm a rhinette, got that? -! the krinkie kids are 10 feet under. with you. i missed you so much! can i stay here? -i got no place else to go. they kicked me out of the penthouse. sons of bitches. that's how i got this. i got iiens, back taxes, iawyers' bills, threats against my iife. -i got the whole world up my fucking ass! don't you worry. i got a iong memory, baby. because what they sow, they going to reap, angie! stop doing this. -don't piss your life away. but it's the rhino, angie. the devil sent him from hell to destroy me. smoochy is the face of evil. congratulations, sheidon. -congratulations, mr. mopes. thanks a iot. mr. mopes, iet me get that for you. your office is over here. if you need anything, iet me know. -no, i gotta work tonight. i can't. i'ii come sunday. okay. that's-- -i want to talk to you for a little bit. ma, can i call you back? some asshole's screaming at me. thanks. bye. -yeah? you didn't have to get off. if i didn't, you'd still be here. i am. i'm hoping to correct that. -listen, nora. i can understand it might feel a little awkward for you maybe intimidating, now that the power has changed. i still value your input. and i consider you a partner. never. -even if i iive to be 1000 and see the second coming of christ. i know we're not partners yet. let's make a game plan. let's pencil in a few lunch dates, or go on a retreat! just you and me, alone. -chewing the fat, exchanging ideas. let's plant the seeds of a collaboration. plant this! you know, nora has anyone ever suggested to you that yoga maybe a high colonic, could loosen you up? get out, hippie! -you get out! you get out! you don't get to tell this boy what to do anymore, you uptight.... i'm gonna halt here. haltis a seif-recognition technique. -hungry, angry, lonely, tired. i won't get sucked into your negative energy. want me? i'ii be in my office. it's the big one. -with a view. they all have views, dumbshit! not looking this way! don't shut my door! hey.... -"have a iong and healthy run. burke." my own patch of wheat grass. morning! congrats on the bump. -spinner has taken a real shine to you. since you come in, he can't stop yakking, "smoochy this, smoochy that." that's nice. i iike spinner. he's very sweet for such a big fella. -can you give him a little floor space? floor space? a part on the show. you're the executive producer. you call the shots, right? -yes. yes, i do. the thing is, television is a very complicated medium. not just anybody can be a success at it. i iike spinner. -but his chances on television are as good as mine in the ring with him. know what i'm saying? it'd be painful. this makes me very sad. what's wrong? -nothing. i'm just very sad right now. who made you sad, tommy? i don't like to mention names. say, fellas, i just remembered. -we got a part spinner would be perfect for. that's the solution. you're a good boy. we remember favors. you're welcome at our place anytime. -come on, boys. okay. thanks for stopping by. hello? better grow eyes on the back of your head. -i won't sleep until worms are crawling up your ass! i'm going on safari, motherfucker! safari! gee whiz. what a day! -do you ever knock? congratulations on your ice show. sellout! what are you talking about? about you, and how you're a phony like all the rest. -"i'm smoochy. i don't care about money. it's about a good show without bells and whistles." you look good with your foot stuck in your mouth. jam it in there nice and tight. -what happened to your precious integrity? or is that just part of your dog-and-pony show? i never agreed to a show! do you realize the shekels we can take in? these things represent everything i'm against. -mindless spectacles whose purpose is peddling overpriced sugar water and cheap plastic toys that splinter and get lodged in some kid's septum. where's our dignity? i know you got an ethics fetish. you can't change the world, buddy. but you can make a dent. -no one has ever refused an ice show. until now. smoochy doesn't sell out. that's it! you should be proud to have a client who can say that. -yeah, i'm doing backflips. wasn't that fun, in an awkward sort of way? it sure was! did i do good? i did good, right? -you did great, buddy. i'm gonna go get drunk now. okay, be careful. hey, lady. hey, nice job. -casting mental patients. i iike that. cut that out. goiiy, he's not a mental patient. he's a nightclub owner and an ambassador for his sport. -he just has the sweet disposition of a 5-year-oid. and a cousin named tommy cotter. at least he's got a sense of humor! that's more than i can say for some people. what? -hi, there. how are you doing? get in. that's okay. i'ii grab a cab. -humor me, rhino. how do you iike that? merv green. nice to meet you. ever try saying that without the gun? -i represent the parade of hope. maybe you've heard of us. you raise money for hospitals. we've added a brick or two. there's talk that you're pulling out of the ice show. -true? i'm not "pulling out," because i never agreed to do a show. nor would i ever agree to do a show and how is that your concern? the parade of hope has sponsored every ice show since 1964. we take a little, everyone's happy. -so let's not buck history! for the gazillionth time, i have no interest in doing a show! if that's all, iet me out and we can say happy trails. can i have the far corner? tomorrow, smoochy raises his baton for parade of hope. -banquets, benefits, i want it all. you can pull over. as far as the ice show goes, i suggest you shop for skates. this is unacceptable! i'm calling the authorities! -don't. rat on them and you'll be lucky to find your toenails. they're the roughest charity. you haven't been listening! i was threatened by an organization that's supposed to help children. -what kind of world is this? the real one. my advice? consider the ice show and stay healthy. well, how do you iike that? -hi. what did i do now? can i come in? sure. everything okay? -i'm drunk. not that i want to make you feel bad but with alcohol, you're consuming empty calories. i came here to apologize. really? yes. -and on these rare occasions when i feel the need to apologize it helps if i'm shitfaced. i'm supposed to feel honored? i may have been harsh the other day. a little out of line. don't worry. -last week you called me a pasty-faced, no-taient hack. you're not doing the ice show? no. now i know what they're about. why didn't you tell me? -i don't want to spoil all your fun. you get such a sparkly glow when you berate me in front of everyone else. i may have become a bit hardened over the years. i bet. sincerity is an easy disguise. -it's hard to know who's on the level. that's true. i've been learning a iot about that myself lately. "sometimes light is really dark. sometimes crows can sing like larks." -"sometimes winter feels like spring. don't think you know everything." rickets the hippo? you remember him? when i was a kid, he was the one face i couid trust. -he was my inspiration to work in kids tv. me too! i took an anger management class in college we had to name a person representing love and patience. i named him. he's the reason i created smoochy! -i don't believe this! when i tell people about rickets, they look at me weird. he was the best! you remember the kiunky-wunky? i did it for my first holy communion. -get out! you did not! yes! you? the whole, iike.... -from me to you i should go. wait. stay a while. i got rickets on tape. -it's late. you sure? i got some fennel tea. we can hang out. you should get that. -bye. it's okay. i'ii see you down at the store. hello? mr. -mopes? i'm benjamin mcknuckiepeck. i'm calling from parents for decency in children's tv. have you heard of us? no, but that's an issue close to my heart. -i was just talking to-- tomorrow we're having a banquet. we'd be honored if you performed. we want to present a plaque to you for your commitment to children's tv. the presenter will be a young orphan with mild asthma. -can you attend? yeah, i'd be happy to. that'd be great. see you then. i want to thank you for picking me up. -no worries. a chance to have smoochy at our soirée i'd stick my willie in a nest of funneiwebs if i had to. that sounds extreme. just try a "please." you're funny! -there's vodka and chips back there if you're hungry. i don't know if you're aware of it, but food like that can lower your chi. i've never eaten korean food. thanks for the information. that's why the wee ones love your show. -you can learn and laugh at the same time. it's such a fresh change from that dreadful embezzier, rainbow randy. what was his name? randoiph, i think. randoiph! -that's the scoundrel. probably gay too. what did you say? he's a pillow biter, you know? the old.... -i don't know about his sleeping disorders. but i do think he's got some problems, alcohol and anger to name a few. what do you mean? i feel sorry for him. he has issues. -but don't you take a particular glee in the fact you stole his time slot and you're shoveling dirt on his corpse? no. i wouldn't take pleasure in someone's misfortune. truth is, i thought he was pretty talented. he's a miserable cocksucker! -a fucking asshole! you hate him, admit it! where did you say you're from? the wee ones are ready for you. i'm ready. -give me my ax. here we go. let's shake a stick. this is really exciting for me. me too. -i never played in a tractor parts warehouse. we keep it no-friiis. it's all about the wee ones. great attitude. i wish more people felt that way. -know what my motto is? something inane. "you can't change the world, but you can make a dent." don't worry. you're going to make a dent. -go out there and hook a horn! thanks! auf wiedersehen. smoochy the rhino! hello, new jersey! -it's great to be here, kids! sing along if you know it. friends, friends, we all got friends you've got me and i got you friends, friends, we all need friends it's our pals that get us through if i had a dollar for every friend i've made -you know it's a little hard to sing to your friends when you can't see them. could we just kill that spot and bring the houselights up? heil smoochy! i hope i'm dreaming. freeze! -this is an unlawful assembly! hands on your head. line up! do you read mein kampf? is smoochy code for "white power"? -is adolf hitler your personal hero? i don't hate anybody! you don't hate nazis? how does it feel to be a racist scumbag? here at the kidnet jungle, the rhino's now extinct. -the smoochy slot will be safely occupied by cartoon reruns. hello, nippie-nibbier. the rhino's a nazi. the rhino is screwed-o the rhino is screwed nora! -nora! it's me. i gotta talk to you. there's nothing to say. they're calling me fascist. -i'm being compared unfavorably with goebbeis. hey. if the jackboot fits.... you believe what they're saying? i don't have to. -the picture said it all. that was a setup. i'm telling you! this fetaikunkie guy said it was for kids. i had no idea it was a nazi rally. -you'd think the 50-foot swastika might have given you a hint. that was later. the light was in my eyes. it was like a nightmare. suddenly.... -wham! it's jackboots and gestapo and "smooch heil, smooch heil!" i need your help. i'm in a pickle here. the fact is, i don't know you, okay? -what? not really. don't expect me to go out on an emotional limb here. but, nora.... nora! -what about the kiunky-wunky dance? i was drunk. don't read too much into it. if you want a cup of juice, the well's dried up. city shut her down. -bastards will slap a new pair of tits on the statue of liberty but they won't help a poor hophead. just once i wish i had a little clout. i'd set things straight in this town. believe me. hell of a world. -hell of a world. what do you want? can you spare 60 seconds for a smiley old face from your past? hello, kitten. here's the good news. -you and frank are in a bind. i'd be happy to end my sabbatical and come back. i couid start monday. no meat. when did you become a vegetarian? -call costumes and props and tell them that the old r-man is back. ready to start whistling tunes for the kids. whose toes you gotta suck to get a drink? you got three seconds to pry your ass off my couch. you need someone for that slot and i'm here to reclaim what's mine. -in case you forgot, you're a criminal and a scumbag. have you forgotten what we once had? that was a iong time ago. i was young and stupid. and iimber. -why we broke up, i'ii never know. you were an asshole, and i didn't love you. we could have worked through that. goddamn it, nora! the public is clamoring for me. -i'm a patriot compared to mopes. he's a nazi and gay. he was checking me out in the car. what's that mean? what? -he was checking you out in what car? no, i'm just saying it's a vibe, you know? kind of a homosexual nazi vibe. something that emanates from the tv. what's with the costume? -big erect horn. you're talking fast. what do you mean? i'm not. i still love you, nora. -were you at that rally? you had something to do with this? did you set sheidon up? i know why we broke up now. always with the accusations. -bitch, bitch, bitch! i miss smoochy. he couldn't have done the things they say he done. he ain't no nazi. i want smoochy back. -i wanna be on the tv again. i wanna play my cowbell. has burke been here tonight? haven't seen him. can i help you? -it's about sheidon. sheldon? hey, what about sheidon? i'm trying to sleep, asshole! read the fucking meter another time! -hello there, mr. rainbow. how lovely to see you in the flesh. come here. you wanna tell me about the rhino?

always got the hammer, tommy. -i did it. it was me. it was all me. thank god we cleared that up without further violence. don't touch me! -my name isn't wandoiph, it's randoiph. how is it being the most hated man in america?

you got nothing left? exactly. -that's what i've been trying to tell you. what's this? a rain forest benefit freebie bag. disposable camera kahlúa flavored peanuts hand lotions, no animal-tested... don't ever contact me again, randy. -get out of the car. you know what to do with the lotion, jerk-off. you'll get yours! the rhino too! wheels are turning! -even a guy who's squeaky clean falls into the mud. smoochy and rhinette dolls would be sold separately. these are prototypes. i've been assured that all the bugs will be worked out. let's recap. -yes to the smoochy ice cream, the string cheese the cola. we're in a dick-measuring contest over the shampoo. time out, people. let's hold the phone a second. if i might interject. -we need to re-examine our principles. we are still trying... smoochy is still trying to earn these kids' trust. we won't do that by selling string cheese and shampoo and cola which contains no less than two addictive substances. we need to focus on putting together the best show possible. -deliver a positive message, without bells and whistles. can i get an amen, somebody? are you with me on this, team? damn. i got that. -shut the door, please. now lock it. thanks. we're deciding if smoochy-o's are frosted or fruit-flavored. if anybody has a strong feeling... -our survey shows a dead heat. frosted for old and fruity for young. have them both. good. i like frosted. -i like sweeter. me too. as a kid i ate frosted. let's go the old-fashioned way... i want to tell you honestly, i felt... -hey! nora! wait up. i thought that was a good meeting today. we tackled some hot issues. -i felt once or twice my voice wasn't being heard. that's a conservative estimate. i want the show to have weight. substance. silly songs, absolutely, but with a message. -guess how many compositions i have in the smoochy songbook. do you sense my lack of interest? over 300 on subjects from vegetables to the importance of donating plasma. i'm a valuable resource, nora. use me... -okay, stop talking. i'm gonna make this real easy for you. the only reason you're on tv is because rainbow randolph is a scumbag. i didn't discover you. i delivered you, like groceries. -i got more emotional investment in my nail polish. so don't peddle your sap to me. your job is to smile and nod your head. look. i'm not literally comparing captain kangaroo to jesus christ. -i'm saying that the captain, like christ was someone you could really believe in. with those guys it wasn't about the bells and whistles, it was all about the work. especially jesus. i mean, forget about it. i never saw anybody get buzzed on orange juice. -i'll tell you a secret: pop a little liquid alfalfa in it it's blastoff time. let me have a five crown. hey. smoochy the rhino. -that's me. i'm a big fan. that's the first time anybody recognized me out of the suit. burke bennett. kid-show talent agent. -nice to meet you. nice to meet you. network goons are like that. stokes tried to screw him out of merchandising points. claimed he had a warehouse full of dicky dolls that weren't moving. -we're friends for years. i say to him, "show me the warehouse." i walk out of there with a check for 100 grand stokes is sitting with his thumb up his ass. that's a great story, but the thing is, with me, i don't care about that stuff. i don't care about smoochy dolls, chocolate, floor wax. -i care about getting creative input on my own show. you know, this rhino came from my womb. okay? i birthed him. i nursed him. -damn it, i ought to be the one who raises him. it's all about the dough. once you get money, you get power. once you get power, you can have smoochy walk out with a dildo strapped to his head. i haven't thought of that idea. -i do see where you're going with this. when you wanna talk, i'll cut the strings. i'll open the magic door for you. well, how do you like that? i laid the groundwork. -he's a bank with a horn. you'll make more with him than 20 randolphs. important to the parade of hope. it's in the bag. we might have to massage him. -don't make me lose my smile, burkey-boy. a special batch of cookies for a very special rhino. how thoughtful of me. they're beautiful. you're going to learn about shame, my dear smoochy, and i'm your professor. -can we talk? why was the "please and thank you song" cut? it takes away from the "cookie song." the "cookie song" is meaningless fluff without it. that's the lesson. -the moral anchor. it's cut. and i want the cookie lyrics changed back. i won't encourage kids to eat a lot of sugar. i have to like myself. -this is not a sprout farm. you're here to sell sugar and plastic. do you hear yourself? i won't do it. does that say "nora's magic jungle"? -no. i'm not your puppet. since when? get your spongy pink ass out there and dance for the cameras. this is a kid show. -those are children i'm singing to out there. you don't even see children anymore. you just see wallets with pigtails. bonsoir, le smoochy. welcome to fatty arbuckle-land. -don't worry, little ones. rainbow randolph will return. all right! i'll tell you something. that jiggy-ing and ziggy-ing makes me hungry. -when i'm hungry, what time is it? magic cookie time! what? magic cookie time! that's right! -everybody in the middle! get in the middle! angelo, hit me! give them a cookie. lookie, lookie, lookie here comes the cookie -fresh and organic no need to panic he didn't change it. straight from the soil no tropical oil sweetened with juice for an energy boost -whatever, fucking peasant. who wants the first cookie? me! let's see what we got today! give them a cookie. -my! it's a... it's a... a rocket ship! it's a rocket ship to fly us to jungle land! -here we go! fuck! follow me! we're flying over the trees on our magic rocket. what a special day! -special cookies. are you blind? it's a cock! it's not a rocket! what is this? -randolph! get him out! look. it's a cock and balls! it's a dick! -chorizo and the huevos! it's a big stiffy! it's a penis! penis maximus! a willie! -mr. jiggle daddy! get him out of here! the one-eyed wonder weasel! it's jimmy and the twins. rumple foreskin. -he made this. it's made from dil-dough. wave bye-bye! thanks for visiting! let go of me! -i'm rainbow-fucking-randolph. i know the way... i want to thank you all for having this sit-down. we have wrinkles in the communication and collaboration departments. i'm not pointing fingers. -you start pointing and someone gets poked. it's not my intention to try and poke either of you. anyhoo, this is my new agent, burke bennett. he has experience facilitating in these situations. i think he'll help us through this moment together. -here's burke! thank you, sheldon. frank, you see this guy? take a good look. because this guy saved your ass. -without him, you'd be sitting in kaplan's sucking club soda through a paper straw while your table at 21 was occupied by the new marion frank stokes and his twat du jour. excuse me. no excuse for you. we've always made arrangements. why the fireworks? -i'm holding the gunpowder. i represent the man who created owns and controls every inch of smoochy the rhino. you seem to forget we found this guy, dug up his corpse, handed him a show when he couldn't sell his face. no, a lot of people went out for that clinic gig. they hired me... -let me untangle this web. i don't care if his last job was juggling apples for pygmies in the congo. this man fits the bill and you need him. he'll get what he deserves. and what would that be, exactly? -to the star and new executive producer of the smoochy show. i'm still in shock. run me through this again. i have complete creative control. veto power over merchandising. -corporate penthouse. cushy. i must be dreaming. think of it as the high life. get used to it. -you'll be pissing on $100 bills just to see the look on franklin's face. i couldn't. i have too much respect for what he accomplished. yeah, he's a good man. what's this? -keep it down. what did you do, you snake? a graduation present. think of it as a tool of the trade. i can't accept this. -no? i don't believe in guns. really? when we'd play cowboys and indians as kids, i was a chinese rail worker. trust me, it's a handy accessory to have in this business. -let me get that for you. oh, boy. when this guy comes over, don't talk to him or he'll stay here yakking all night. love that one. is that spinner dunn, the boxer? -fried beans. you don't retire with an 81 -and-59 record and end up governor. he's gotta be smart to run a place like this. spinner? he couldn't run a water faucet. -he's a mascot. it's his cousin, tommy cotter. heavy hitter. her and her boys, they run the joint. irish mob. -how do you like that? strawberries and... here he comes. smoochy! hey, i'm spinner! -i'm so excited to meet you! i'm excited to meet you too, spinner. i'm spinner. right. you're a fan of the show. -smoochy, you know what i love? i love when you do the jiggy ziggy dance, you know? the one you do during silly time? that's one of our big numbers. you wanna see me do it? -see you do the jiggy ziggy? yeah! sometime. i'll do it for you here. smoochy, i'll do it, watch. -excuse me, senator. sure. i love you so much. i love you too. i'm spinner. -right. hey, spinner. come here and meet the senator. you go ahead. it was a real honor. -smoochy's here! that's nice for you. wait till i tell my folks i met spinner dunn. the one and only. seems like a sweet guy. -don't go anywhere, smoochy. i'll be right back after i take a dump. i think you made a new friend, kid. since randolph got pinched, there's air in the pipes. how are you fixing it? -the rhino's still a little green. eventually, he'll come around. he has to get a taste of how we do things. i have no time for "eventually." eventually, we get old and die. sometimes "old" doesn't happen. -i'm doing my best. the network is watching closely. you got a problem, son. the rhino better learn to play ball, and soon. otherwise, he might need a little coaching. -wipe your forehead, frank. you got plenty of time to sweat. who is it? open up, baby, it's randolph. it's been a long time. -randy? angie. fucking traitor! you left me for the rhino! i gotta eat, don't i? -you strapped that horn on pretty fast! you're a krinkle kid, say it! rhinette. say it. "i am a krinkle kid." say it before god and all the bones of the saints! -i'm a rhinette, got that? ! the krinkle kids are 10 feet under. with you. i missed you so much! -can i stay here? i got no place else to go. they kicked me out of the penthouse. sons of bitches. that's how i got this. -i got liens, back taxes, lawyers' bills, threats against my life. i got the whole world up my fucking ass! don't you worry. i got a long memory, baby. because what they sow, they going to reap, angie! -stop doing this. don't piss your life away. but it's the rhino, angie. the devil sent him from hell to destroy me. smoochy is the face of evil. -congratulations, sheldon. congratulations, mr. mopes. thanks a lot. mr. mopes, let me get that for you. your office is over here. -if you need anything, let me know. no, i gotta work tonight. i can't. i'll come sunday. okay. -that's... i want to talk to you for a little bit. ma, can i call you back? some asshole's screaming at me. thanks. -bye. yeah? you didn't have to get off. if i didn't, you'd still be here. i am. -i'm hoping to correct that. listen, nora. i can understand it might feel a little awkward for you maybe intimidating, now that the power has changed. i still value your input. and i consider you a partner. -never. even if i live to be 1000 and see the second coming of christ. i know we're not partners yet. let's make a game plan. let's pencil in a few lunch dates, or go on a retreat! -just you and me, alone. chewing the fat, exchanging ideas. let's plant the seeds of a collaboration. plant this! you know, nora has anyone ever suggested to you that yoga maybe a high colonic, could loosen you up? -get out, hippie! you get out! you get out! you don't get to tell this boy what to do anymore, you uptight... i'm gonna halt here. -haltis a self-recognition technique. hungry, angry, lonely, tired. i won't get sucked into your negative energy. want me? i'll be in my office. -it's the big one. with a view. they all have views, dumbshit! not looking this way! don't shut my door! -hey... "have a long and healthy run. burke." my own patch of wheat grass. morning! -congrats on the bump. spinner has taken a real shine to you. since you come in, he can't stop yakking, "smoochy this, smoochy that." that's nice. i like spinner. -he's very sweet for such a big fella. can you give him a little floor space? floor space? a part on the show. you're the executive producer. -you call the shots, right? yes. yes, i do. the thing is, television is a very complicated medium. not just anybody can be a success at it. -i like spinner. but his chances on television are as good as mine in the ring with him. know what i'm saying? it'd be painful. this makes me very sad. -what's wrong? nothing. i'm just very sad right now. who made you sad, tommy? i don't like to mention names. -say, fellas, i just remembered. we got a part spinner would be perfect for. that's the solution. you're a good boy. we remember favors. -you're welcome at our place anytime. come on, boys. okay. thanks for stopping by. hello? -better grow eyes on the back of your head. i won't sleep until worms are crawling up your ass! i'm going on safari, motherfucker! safari! gee whiz. -what a day! do you ever knock? congratulations on your ice show. sellout! what are you talking about? -about you, and how you're a phony like all the rest. "i'm smoochy. i don't care about money. it's about a good show without bells and whistles." you look good with your foot stuck in your mouth. -jam it in there nice and tight. what happened to your precious integrity? or is that just part of your dog-and-pony show? i never agreed to a show! do you realize the shekels we can take in? -these things represent everything i'm against. mindless spectacles whose purpose is peddling overpriced sugar water and cheap plastic toys that splinter and get lodged in some kid's septum. where's our dignity? i know you got an ethics fetish. you can't change the world, buddy. -but you can make a dent. no one has ever refused an ice show. until now. smoochy doesn't sell out. that's it! -you should be proud to have a client who can say that. yeah, i'm doing backflips. wasn't that fun, in an awkward sort of way? it sure was! did i do good? -i did good, right? you did great, buddy. i'm gonna go get drunk now. okay, be careful. hey, lady. -hey, nice job. casting mental patients. i like that. cut that out. golly, he's not a mental patient. -he's a nightclub owner and an ambassador for his sport. he just has the sweet disposition of a 5-year-old. and a cousin named tommy cotter. at least he's got a sense of humor! that's more than i can say for some people. -what? hi, there. how are you doing? get in. that's okay. -i'll grab a cab. humor me, rhino. how do you like that? merv green. nice to meet you. -ever try saying that without the gun? i represent the parade of hope. maybe you've heard of us. you raise money for hospitals. we've added a brick or two. -there's talk that you're pulling out of the ice show. true? i'm not "pulling out," because i never agreed to do a show. nor would i ever agree to do a show and how is that your concern? the parade of hope has sponsored every ice show since 1964. -we take a little, everyone's happy. so let's not buck history! for the gazillionth time, i have no interest in doing a show! if that's all, let me out and we can say happy trails. can i have the far corner? -tomorrow, smoochy raises his baton for parade of hope. banquets, benefits, i want it all. you can pull over. as far as the ice show goes, i suggest you shop for skates. this is unacceptable! -i'm calling the authorities! don't. rat on them and you'll be lucky to find your toenails. they're the roughest charity. you haven't been listening! -i was threatened by an organization that's supposed to help children. what kind of world is this? the real one. my advice? consider the ice show and stay healthy. -well, how do you like that? hi. what did i do now? can i come in? sure. -everything okay? i'm drunk. not that i want to make you feel bad but with alcohol, you're consuming empty calories. i came here to apologize. really? -yes. and on these rare occasions when i feel the need to apologize it helps if i'm shitfaced. i'm supposed to feel honored? i may have been harsh the other day. a little out of line. -don't worry. last week you called me a pasty-faced, no-talent hack. you're not doing the ice show? no. now i know what they're about. -why didn't you tell me? i don't want to spoil all your fun. you get such a sparkly glow when you berate me in front of everyone else. i may have become a bit hardened over the years. i bet. -sincerity is an easy disguise. it's hard to know who's on the level. that's true. i've been learning a lot about that myself lately. "sometimes light is really dark. -sometimes crows can sing like larks." "sometimes winter feels like spring. don't think you know everything." rickets the hippo? you remember him? -when i was a kid, he was the one face i could trust. he was my inspiration to work in kids tv. me too! i took an anger management class in college we had to name a person representing love and patience. i named him. -he's the reason i created smoochy! i don't believe this! when i tell people about rickets, they look at me weird. he was the best! you remember the klunky-wunky? -i did it for my first holy communion. get out! you did not! yes! you? -the whole, like... from me to you i should go. wait. stay a while. -i got rickets on tape. it's late. you sure? i got some fennel tea. we can hang out. -you should get that. bye. it's okay. i'll see you down at the store. hello? -mr. mopes? i'm benjamin mcknucklepeck. i'm calling from parents for decency in children's tv. have you heard of us? -no, but that's an issue close to my heart. i was just talking to... tomorrow we're having a banquet. we'd be honored if you performed. we want to present a plaque to you for your commitment to children's tv. -the presenter will be a young orphan with mild asthma. can you attend? yeah, i'd be happy to. that'd be great. see you then. -i want to thank you for picking me up. no worries. a chance to have smoochy at our soirée i'd stick my willie in a nest of funnelwebs if i had to. that sounds extreme. just try a "please." -you're funny! there's vodka and chips back there if you're hungry. i don't know if you're aware of it, but food like that can lower your chi. i've never eaten korean food. thanks for the information. -that's why the wee ones love your show. you can learn and laugh at the same time. it's such a fresh change from that dreadful embezzler, rainbow randy. what was his name? randolph, i think. -randolph! that's the scoundrel. probably gay too. what did you say? he's a pillow biter, you know? -the old... i don't know about his sleeping disorders. but i do think he's got some problems, alcohol and anger to name a few. what do you mean? i feel sorry for him. -he has issues. but don't you take a particular glee in the fact you stole his time slot and you're shoveling dirt on his corpse? no. i wouldn't take pleasure in someone's misfortune. truth is, i thought he was pretty talented. -he's a miserable cocksucker! a fucking asshole! you hate him, admit it! where did you say you're from? the wee ones are ready for you. -i'm ready. give me my ax. here we go. let's shake a stick. this is really exciting for me. -me too. i never played in a tractor parts warehouse. we keep it no-frills. it's all about the wee ones. great attitude. -i wish more people felt that way. know what my motto is? something inane. "you can't change the world, but you can make a dent." don't worry. -you're going to make a dent. go out there and hook a horn! thanks! auf wiedersehen. smoochy the rhino! -hello, new jersey! it's great to be here, kids! sing along if you know it. friends, friends, we all got friends you've got me and i got you friends, friends, we all need friends it's our pals that get us through -if i had a dollar for every friend i've made you know it's a little hard to sing to your friends when you can't see them. could we just kill that spot and bring the houselights up? heil smoochy! i hope i'm dreaming. -freeze! this is an unlawful assembly! hands on your head. line up! do you read mein kampf? -is smoochy code for "white power"? is adolf hitler your personal hero? i don't hate anybody! you don't hate nazis? how does it feel to be a racist scumbag? -here at the kidnet jungle, the rhino's now extinct. the smoochy slot will be safely occupied by cartoon reruns. hello, nipple-nibbler. the rhino's a nazi. the rhino is screwed-o the rhino is screwed -nora! nora! it's me. i gotta talk to you. there's nothing to say. -they're calling me fascist. i'm being compared unfavorably with goebbels. hey. if the jackboot fits... you believe what they're saying? -i don't have to. the picture said it all. that was a setup. i'm telling you! this fetalkunkle guy said it was for kids. -i had no idea it was a nazi rally. you'd think the 50-foot swastika might have given you a hint. that was later. the light was in my eyes. it was like a nightmare. -suddenly... wham! it's jackboots and gestapo and "smooch heil, smooch heil!" i need your help. i'm in a pickle here. -the fact is, i don't know you, okay? what? not really. don't expect me to go out on an emotional limb here. but, nora... -nora! what about the klunky-wunky dance? i was drunk. don't read too much into it. if you want a cup of juice, the well's dried up. -city shut her down. bastards will slap a new pair of tits on the statue of liberty but they won't help a poor hophead. just once i wish i had a little clout. i'd set things straight in this town. believe me. -hell of a world. hell of a world. what do you want? can you spare 60 seconds for a smiley old face from your past? hello, kitten. -here's the good news. you and frank are in a bind. i'd be happy to end my sabbatical and come back. i could start monday. no meat. -when did you become a vegetarian? call costumes and props and tell them that the old r-man is back. ready to start whistling tunes for the kids. whose toes you gotta suck to get a drink? you got three seconds to pry your ass off my couch. -you need someone for that slot and i'm here to reclaim what's mine. in case you forgot, you're a criminal and a scumbag. have you forgotten what we once had? that was a long time ago. i was young and stupid. -and limber. why we broke up, i'll never know. you were an asshole, and i didn't love you. we could have worked through that. goddamn it, nora! -the public is clamoring for me. i'm a patriot compared to mopes. he's a nazi and gay. he was checking me out in the car. what's that mean? -what? he was checking you out in what car? no, i'm just saying it's a vibe, you know? kind of a homosexual nazi vibe. something that emanates from the tv. -what's with the costume? big erect horn. you're talking fast. what do you mean? i'm not. -i still love you, nora. were you at that rally? you had something to do with this? did you set sheldon up? i know why we broke up now. -always with the accusations. bitch, bitch, bitch! i miss smoochy. he couldn't have done the things they say he done. he ain't no nazi. -i want smoochy back. i wanna be on the tv again. i wanna play my cowbell. has burke been here tonight? haven't seen him. -can i help you? it's about sheldon. sheldon? hey, what about sheldon? i'm trying to sleep, asshole! -read the fucking meter another time! hello there, mr. rainbow. how lovely to see you in the flesh. come here. you wanna tell me about the rhino? -this is private property. you're fucking trespassing. danny, go give mr. smiley a little backrub. start yakking. what are you talking about? -you're violating my... you spud-sucking fucks! i'm suing your riverdance ass! i'll send you all the way back home! roy, have you got the hammer? -always got the hammer, tommy. i did it. it was me. it was all me. thank god we cleared that up without further violence. -don't touch me! my name isn't wandolph, it's randolph. how is it being the most hated man in america? in a country of neanderthals, it's an honor. nora says you have an obsession with mopes. -i barely know her. she's been down on everything. she spreads like cream cheese. what about rumors that you're crazy? that's bullshit! -i'm on the same dosage i've always been. between my client's dwindling cash flow and mounting legal fees he's sinking into a depression. who grabbed my ass? get away! don't touch me! -very nice. i've been shot! i'm bleeding! that's salmonella! someone touched my ass. -i want room to breathe. back off! man, it's crazy out there. listen i wanted to say i'm sorry. i'm sorry i didn't believe you. -i got swept up in the frenzy of anti-smoochyism. it's a house of mirrors. you can't always tell what you're looking at. yeah. if it weren't for you, i wouldn't be here. -thanks. good. five minutes. thanks. i don't know spanish, but thanks anyway. -it means "good luck." ladies and gentlemen boys and girls, who's your favorite rhino? smoochy! you guys are the greatest! thanks, kids. -thanks a lot. it's great to be back home with you. i know i was away for too long. you probably heard i went through rough times. life outside the magic jungle can get pretty complicated. -a lot of ugliness and injustice. sometimes being a good person... well, that just isn't always enough. and when that happens, it is hard not to get frustrated. maybe even start feeling a little bitter. -i'll just say it. sometimes, boys and girls, it'll make you flat-out mad. you know what i do when i get mad, boys and girls? when that pressure starts building to where i feel i won't be able to take it anymore? and this rhino might have to put hurt on someone? -you know what i do then? i howl! that's right. i take all the things i don't like and i let out a big howl. come on and howl with me now. -howl it out! take all that frustration inside ball it up and let it out in a howl! thanks a lot, kids. i feel much better now. so who wants to do the jiggy ziggy? -smoochy is back! and boy, did we miss him. shut up! bad. very bad. -too much for brain. pressure building. his popularity is stronger than ever... i despise you! i loathe you! -bastard son of barney! die, you son of fluff! illegitimate teletubby! die, muppet from hell! die, you foam motherfucker! -what are you doing? that's a picture-in-picture! it was an accident. i want you out of here! where am i supposed to go? -put your slippers on and get out! please! i need help! i don't care anymore. i helped you. -you abused it. i missed you so much! i missed you too, pal. sheldon, look, i been practicing and practicing. i'm getting good at it. -you want to see me march? no, but you're going to anyway. you gotta love him. first, the good news. i've given it thought and decided i am gonna do the ice show. -now i got a bar mitzvah boy! that's a great decision. after everything, i realized it's a crime to waste your power. rock bottom is a college education. ready for the really good news?

you helped give it a little more polish. you think? -thanks. let's go home, smooch. the show's over. no, it isn't. it's just beginning. -with great pleasure i introduce to you, together for the first time side by side, shoulder to shoulder, ladies and gentlemen boys and girls, please welcome smoochy the rhino and rainbow randolph! little time after our observation this is the man who collected our testimony at the time he dressed a black costume with black shoes and black glasses and this is strange because we find him by chance 25 years later and he did not age -this situation is really exaggerated it's true that i haven't changed for 25 years these things happen ! i will show you the place where indeed we observed a strange phenomenon in 1977, about 25 years ago and i have a memory of it as if it was yesterday it is indeed on this ground that we played soccer when we were kids there were some installations but roughly speaking topography of the place did not change i would like to draw your attention to this small low wall -at this time we were all small and besides it is strange this low wall appeared very tall to us at the time and when we sat down our legs hardly touch the ground so, i can still see me it is really with many emotions that i talk about this memory i see myself sitted precisely at this place at the place where the camera is, there were claude boscariole and eric gautier then my brother hichem was somewhere here hamid benakouch a friend of childhood was at this place there -the first who had seen the non-identified object was my brother hichem who was there and it is not astonishing and he saw the object above this fir tree so, it is useless to say that at the time fir tree was rather a small shrub which hardly reached the height of the wall so, we saw the object coming from this direction i was here and we saw the object flying over this small house there which is at the level of the net of protection that you see which was not there at the time bobigny gave you -thus the object was in hovering above the house which is behind you and it was held in hovering at 20 meters, we could have touched it with a stone and you can note it's the electric generator of the housing estate here is profile of the object there is a radiation that the object left and which printed its mark on the wall the only one who speaked was me, i said word for word 25 years after i remember it as if it was yesterday maybe it's the russians to frighten us these words still reason in my memory, and it's strange that 25 years later, this memory remains as precise as if it had been this morning -what actually striked us, it's we didn't speak of it at all in the days which followed neither weeks nor even years it's 6 to 7 years later that indeed memory re-appeared and of the 5 people only three people still remember it the second witness will make his statement the third one lives today at la rochelle and for the two others, the remembrance was completely blot out of their mind that's all i'm gonna tell you something extra terrestrial are not my business but, however i will tell you something which will surprise you i was somewhere by there i don't remember exactly where but in any case, we were 7 or 8 people i don't remember it well but, in any case, less than 10 -it was a morning we observed something like a large rock (yes) on this level, there i don't know where it get out i don't know where it came from but in any case, the only thing i remember it's, at a given time, we looked in this direction we saw something like a large rock like coal with small craters inside -and then i just can't remember how it disappeared and indeed, during several... maybe one year or two years, we didn't remember any more of the scene we remembered it a few years later there are testimonys of people who live in gaston rouleau at salengro the housing estate of gaston rouleau at drancy... who saw strange things who saw a ball of fire in the same years i will not be able to say, i hesitate between 75 76 77 or even 78 because i have a memory at this time maybe you will confirm it hichem -i have the memory of the socks of the 78's world cup which took place in argentina argentina exactly seriously exact it is true they had the socks argentina 78 with the world cup so i saw it on the level of the chimney. i saw it there it started to make a stationary stage there, it didn't move and afterwards it moved away and we didn't remenber to have seen it leaving in fact -that's strange. what did we do immediately afterwards? we did nothing ! i didn't understand anything i don't know this is what irritates me the fact remains that we saw an unexplainable and unexplained thing abdou, are you sure that we are convincing each other that we saw something you know it is possible if you think i don't know no abdou -i am skeptic maybe the observation of the ufo took place in 75 and because of a hole in timespace it is completely possible that we had the socks of the 78's world cup in 75 that would bring an argument more decisive you associate these socks with this ufo but that can be other socks and you ... no ! ...true ufo and we had a missing time of three years because it was in 75 i can still see me observing the ufo in 75 and just after that, we were, in the morning, at the same place in 78 with the socks of the world cup -but the problem is that i don't think that after three years ... unless all the city of the friendship had a missing time of three years it is possible i'm gonna tell you what it could be : a big trash bag a black one, the handy bag, but that didn't exist at the time no... you're so stupid ! when i talk about ufo it is serious you must film -no, out of question ! that will be on internet, it's true, it's a true testimony it is out of question that i make myself look ridiculous i said quite simply maybe it's the russians to frighten us and the object... -run off just what do you think you're doing, dave? i'm looking for a very significant exhibit which was given to me by kenneth arnold in 55 it's a piece of ufo made of a matter which has all the characteristics and the properties of steel, but which is flexible do you know how to say moisissure (mold) in venezuelan? do you know? you don't know? -it's simple the mode of expression of the human beings is made in a spectrum of emotion which can be broken down into four basic emotions or feelings it is what we call the fundamental expressions human being knows 4 of them joy sadness -astonishment anger while extra terrestrials have only two fundamental emotions which are astonishment and neutral so the extra terrestrial are easily recognizable by the simple fact that they don't have any emotion and more exactly, that out of these two fundamental emotions the others don't appear to us -so it is very simple to recognize them that will be the subject of a forthcoming conference that's it did you put the socks on? surface had this aspect according to what i remenber -terrestrial musical instruments work on the same principle a vibration a vibration with a cord which produces a sound and various frequency modulations make what is called the melodies i reproduce you from memory what my human ear heard in much the same way hey buddy you want to play with me? -come on this disc of elvis presley in 57 10 years after the first appearance of ufo to kenneth arnold a pilot of the american air-mail who observed, in minnesota, 3 silver plated discs above the mountains of apalaches i will return because there too many molds here ! hey, come back! wait up! -oh, what a beautiful day. good morning. there's music in the marketplace the streets have come alive the town is in a tizzy -it's a busy buzzing hive there's cause for this commotion and emotional display we just can't wait to celebrate our favourite holiday le jour d'amour your song is in the air what magic will you make for us what promise will you share -that golden bell sweet la fidele will soon be ringing clear the best of all the festivals le jour d'amour is here mesdames et messieurs, time is short. you must find your true love. find your soul's mate... for the festival d'amour is upon us. -some have come in puppy love perchance to steal a kiss some are still enamoured after years of wedded bliss everyone's parading down the promenade in pairs to join the celebration at the finest of the fairs le jour d'amour your song is in the air what magic will you make for us whose name shall i declare -that golden bell, sweet la fidele will soon be ringing clear the best of all the festivals le jour d'amour is here oh, how the stars will sparkle on the water as the troubadours sing tales of true romance the spirits may rise with fire in their eyes while gypsy girls enchant you with a dance -le jour d'amour your song is in the air what magic will you make for us what promise will you share that golden bell, sweet la fidele will soon be ringing clear the best of all the festivals le jour d'amour is here ah, observe the rituals of courtship... as citizens gather two by two. oh, looks like there's someone for everyone. -ah, yes. too bad there's only one of me to go around, eh?

oh, boy! wow! it's the circus! -a giraffe! look how tall he is! look! oh, look at the monkey. come, mes amis! -as part of the festival d'amour... a circus has come to paris! come one, come all... to cirque de sarousch! see juggling clowns... fire-breathers and magic. and now, may i present the prettiest ornament on the midway... i can't see! -my assistant, mad-- well, my assistant, made-- it's empty! there's no one there. well- -well, of course not! you have to come to the circus to see her. where is madellaine?

yo, bubs. mcnulty, the sailor man? watch the front. here. -stick that on that thing there, will you? the cleat? ain't you know nothing? look at you, i don't know, maybe it's just me... but something's way the fuck wrong with this picture. what the hell is that? -a baltimore knot. what the hell is a baltimore knot? i don't know, but it's never the same thing twice. what can i tell you? my detecting days are over. -what the fuck you have me hunt up omar then for? that's old business. you remember bird? his trial's up next week. omar's got some witnessing to do. -he said you can reach him here at this number. you can leave a message. good work, bubs. as always. here. -cab fare. you say tit-for-tat, and we let slide on a little county caper. i got to think that, you know, you need to think about... what you had me endeavoring to accomplish. i mean, what the fuck, man? i'm not out there asking about no random-ass, who-give-a-damn nigger. -no, sir. i'm making inquiries in your behalf... in regards to that fucking unforgiving, motherfucking omar, man. why? he play you hard? i go at him respectable... he put that goddamn shotgun in my face, man. -i'm looking at two tubes of the harbor tunnel... staring right at me, each one about yea-big. i damn near pissed in my pants... and he stood smiling like this shit is funny. it ain't funny. mcnulty, i know i'm paying taxes on some things... i got to believe this is more aggregation than: -"good work, bubs," and a little bit of this. for your pains. where are we at with the jane does? taking a hard look at the port, we're gonna drop a grand jury summons... on every stevedore who worked the ship, keep rattling cages. how's the port police broad working out for us? -she knows the docks okay. no detective, though. in that case, you need someone fresh. cole, maybe, massy or whoever's up. you need to get over to the southeastern today. -you're detailed temporarily. colonel, respectfully, did you just fuck me over... without giving me even half a chance to clear this case? let's be clear, det. freamon. when i fuck you over, you'll know it. -you'll be so goddamn certain, you won't need to ask the question. and you, det. moreland, are now all alone with 14 red names. how's it feel? and the parking pad in the rear is invaluable for federal hill. -the deck has a harbor view? yes, in two directions. go on up, take a look. i think you'll love it. this ain't federal hill. -excuse me? this is the point, locust point. as far as real estate goes, anything that is below montgomery street... and above the water is now called federal hill. are you two house hunting? we just started. -if you're interested in this area, i could run some listings for you. this particular house-- is my aunt treesey's. really, your aunt? is she a relation to the mcdonalds? -nope. she's a relation to me. she died, like, four years ago. the family sold the house right after. is that the price? -that's the listing, yes. they ain't gonna get that much, right? i can't say for certain, but one just like it... in the 1 200 block sold for $340,000 last week. $340,000? thanks. -yeah. maybe we should rent. we're here because valchek wants us here... because he believes this man and his down-at-the-heels union local... has too much money. to start with, you and freamon are gonna put some dnrs... on the union hall phones. also, run what you can on the union finances and on sobotka personally. -we put that together, copy it to the major to show him we're on it... and buy ourselves a little time. meanwhile, you three, do what you do best. find out where port folks like to cop on a friday night... set up some hand-to-hands, maybe a reverse or two. a lot of these port guys are white, aren't they? i mean, some of the southeast street dealers, too. -so that means you're gonna need a white boy... to go down to some of these southeastern corners, right? so kima, carv on the rooftops. it's my time to front. i'll show you how it's done, homes. cool lester smooth. -what's happening? same fuck-ups in the same shit detail... working out of the same shithouse kind of office. you people lack for personal growth, you know that? it's a temporary posting. rawls gets you back at the end of the run. -if he wants me. last i looked, i was high on his shit list. then we did you a favor. i wouldn't go that far. but fuck it. -who we chasing? frank sobotka? how fucking good is he? you know the man? me and bunk moreland were fucking with this guy last week... working that case about dead girls in the container. -he a suspect? no, just someone who know what's getting done on the port terminals. why are you on him? my father-in-law hates his guts. which, in the southeastern, goes for probable cause. -valchek thinks he has too much cash. so you're thinking drugs? in this fucking town, what other crime is there? you know i would've been down here sooner, it's just... with terrell being sick and all.... but, dee, i got everything we need paid for. -when you come home, stringer's saying they gonna hook you up... with something out of the mix. like running a club, or straight business, like. string say they gonna keep you apart from it... and give back some time for family. for you and me and terrell. family? -they thinking about how they can do for you. they making all these plans... even though you been playing cold with your uncle. stringer says so, anyhow. why you be like that? throwing them off when they looking to do for you? -they playing you with that "we're family, and it's all about love." that's how they do. when they got no more use for you, that family shit disappears. it's just about business, donette. dee, they gonna be there for us. -what's up, man? you got that death grip. you know stony got that check. slow down, fool. i'm saying you need to spend that shit here. -death grip be the fucking bomb, yo. i ain't got no ends. motherfucker said it ain't shit. no, i ain't say that. that's enough, yo, let that shit be. -fuck you all. yeah, motherfucker? yo, b. shit jumping off in the pit, yo. damn. -what the fuck was that? fiend badmouthing our shit, saying death grip ain't all that. now we're beating niggers over speaking the truth? i ain't hit him, the young'uns, yo. you can't tell these fools nothing. -we stomping niggers over bullshit, man. somebody got to pull stringer up on this. zig, what's up? jesus, zig, what the fuck happened? fucking niggers got me. -what? took my money, and they got princess, too. you hear me? they got my fucking car. if i had a gun, i swear to god... -i would've capped every one of those motherfuckers. you call the cops? can't. it was over some dope. you bought a fucking package, didn't you? -serves you right, you stupid fuck. from who? white mike? this nigger cheese, up on wolfe and ashland. a few ounces, you know? -why not white mike? fuck mike, you know how he be. why the fuck would i know how he be? nicky, it ain't my fault, all right? it ain't. -look, business has been slow, package ain't turned around yet. but the fucking hoodleheads ain't hearing it, so i get jumped. they got princess, man. they're holding her for fucking ransom. and now they're telling me... if i don't have the money by friday, they're going to kill me. -i need $2,700. so? you're a drug dealer, go sell some fucking drugs. you fucked up the package, didn't you, zig? i ain't giving you the money. -they're gonna kill me. i gave my money to aimee for an apartment. security deposit and some furniture over at littlepages. i ain't got it for you, zig. you cocksuckers. -major in? yeah, just knock. yeah? we're about to make some hand-to-hands around the port. it. daniels said i should see you about a surveillance van. -the van? the van's on loan to the southwest. okay. fuck with my ass, will you? bringing us back to our old friends, supply and demand. -all right, your research papers are here. remember friday, take-home test. well done, mr. bell. mr. lucas, you got five minutes? -absolutely. there's something maybe you can help me out with. i'll try. what are the options when you got an inferior product... in an aggressive marketplace? if you have a large share of the market, you can buy up the competition. -and if you don't? reduce price to increase market share. that assumes low overhead. of course, otherwise, you operate at a loss... and worse, as your prices drop... your product eventually loses consumer credibility. you know, the new ceo of worldcom was faced with this very problem. -the company was linked to one of the largest fraud cases in history. so he proposed-- to change the name? exactly. which one? -he's got a weenie in his hand. on this case, ain't that you? thomas pakusa, come on down. what the fuck is that? grand jury summons. -grand jury? you lie to us, you hurt our feelings. you lie to them, it's perjury. and one more i just dropped on your barbecue chef outside. you used to be a lot more fun, you know that, bea? -that's john spamanato right there. johnny fifty. how you doing, officer? johnny fifty? what the fuck is that? -son of a bitch drinks 53 beers on his 25th birthday. so as to be, what do you call it, poetical, we rounded it off. "grand jury for the circuit court of baltimore city." you worked the atlantic light, right? everybody on that ship testifies. -about what? about them girls in the can. the detective here thinks we know something about that mess. he thinks we'd leave them there on the dock... in a box, dying there in the dark because.... because why, detective? -what reason would we have to want girls to die like that? why would any of us leave them in there if we knew anything about it? i got a wife and three sisters. and they got daughters. and i got too much respect for women not to be pissed off... at what's in your heads right now. -of all the cans on the terminal, that's the one you lose in the stacks. we didn't know shit, goddamn it! you want us to dance with a grand jury, we will! what do you say, johnny? what do you say to any question? -i take the fifth commandment. and if they offer you immunity to testify against your union brothers? i don't remember. don't remember what? nothing. -what you're forgetting is that every i.b.s. local on the east coast... has had its ass in front of a federal grand jury two or three times already. you want to throw your summonses? throw them. you want to subpoena our records? you don't need a subpoena no more. -our books were open to the justice department for eight years. we're here through bobby kennedy, tricky dick nixon... ronnie "the union buster" reagan, and half a dozen other sons of bitches. we'll be here through your weak bullshit, no problem! these four ain't working today. -you wanna leave the papers here... i'll make sure they get them and go downtown on them. come on. today? now! -you described the weapon used to kill mr. gant... as a .380 semi-automatic. you provided the size, and even suggested the manufacturer: "australian, or one of those 'a' countries." is that correct? indeed. -and you were approximately 50 feet from the shooter? yes, ma'am, you know, give or take. mr. little, at that distance how were you able to determine... who manufactured the weapon? i wasn't. then how were you able to relate that information... to the detectives? -bird showed it to me. he showed you the weapon before the murder? which murder we talking? bird committed more than one murder? fish got to swim, you know what i'm saying? -like i said before, bird was showing that thing to everybody... talking about this deed and the next. i didn't pay him no mind until you all came and showed him some interest. mr. little, if you wouldn't mind waiting outside... i'd like a few words with officer mcnulty. i thought he did good. -imagine the mileage maury levy gets out of me... putting that sociopath on the stand. you got to admit, it'll be different. dress him up at least. i can't have him on the stand looking like that. here's a voucher for court clothes. -anything with a tie. i'm saying, dirt... you wanna be my nigger, you got to be with me for real. you see what i'm saying, yo? well, i'll be. all the time i be telling you, be on post. -but damn, homes, you all the time up in some damn crib... trying to play house with them bitches. i'm saying, you all be seriously fucked up because i'm out here... getting done what needs done. feel me, nigga? thieving motherfuckers take everything, don't they? you know what i'm saying, dirt. -you wanna be my nigger, you gots to deliver for real. how'd we do, charlie? i've almost got one of them ready to swear that the docks are actually near the water. they don't scare, them guys. what now? -you telling me you never had a ci down there, right? a cl? an informant. you ain't got no informants on the dock? someone you could go to on this? -someone you got a history with? they say a police is only as good as his informants. meaning, we ain't about much. the voucher says $150. look on the clearance rack. -it's a look. no, it ain't. you figure it out for yourself. i'm going across the street to the federal building. i'll see you in about a half-hour. -look, man, if i ain't here, i'm round the way on howard street, liddell's. either that, or i'll be with muffy at the club. where's he at? said he had to go get his props. 1 2-08. -12-08. request lateral with 1 2-10. kga, he can meet me on 6. do you copy, 12-08? 10-4, on 6. -yo, dickhead, where you been at? when you're working deep cover, carv, you got to get into the part. what's up? you need a little help? maybe, bro. -you got any raw up in here? you got it to spend? for sure. all right, then we good. go and holler at my niggers round back. -yo, carv. you copy this? it's all in the props, baby. all in the props. feel any different? -me neither. special agent cleary. jim mcnulty, from the city. how can i help you? found floating off the key bridge. -we think she's linked to the dead girls found in the container at patapsco. your people were just here, asking for a trace on the can. homicide fellows. black guys, moreland, freamon? yeah, you working with them? -sort of, i fished her out. i kind of feel like it's on me to find her people. you're kidding, right? no, i thought maybe if you guys have, you know... been pulling in any women who've been over here on the circuit. step into my world, virginia. -a grand jury? they snatched up some of our guys, drove them downtown. but you know nothing. yeah, no shit, we know nothing. the only guy they got that even knows you had a can that day was horse... and he ain't gonna say shit to nobody. -you sure? horse is a rock. don't ever worry about him. my uncle neither. but you say he wants to stop. -yeah, for a little while. he wants you to stop moving cans through our docks... at least until this shit chills. these were local police, right? yeah. their interest is in the girls. -that happened on the ship, the ship is gone. a dead end. the malaka they want, we already got to in philly. another dead end. the police are going nowhere. -but, more important, we address frank's concerns. you tell your uncle i will meet with him. he says he wants to meet with the greek. anything he can say to the greek, he can say to me. says he wants the greek. -says you tell him when and where. niko. about that other business, the chemicals.... what do you need them for? it's just business. -everything is just business with us. buy for a nickel, you sell for a dime. yeah? who wants a dime's worth of fucking chemicals? so these are undocumenteds from just this field office? -maryland and delaware only. any of them still in your custody? i'd love the chance to show some photos, maybe get lucky. everyone in that book was deported. you can guess, some of them are already back. -any field office have anything active? that's what i'm looking at right here. you got some girls in custody in san diego, also seattle. anything i can drive to? closest is a case up in jersey, hudson county. -raid on a couple clubs up there put 1 2 in their bullpen four days ago. that'll work. so you really gonna go up there on your own time? i'll take a day, yeah. what's between you and this girl? -you seen what happens down at the morgue, when they can't id a body? i have. mau. how you been? same old. -yeah? you getting some days? pretty much. i'm in the tower now, working the lanes. you want to come in? -i got, i don't know, some beers, maybe some bacardi around. maybe we could just go for a cup of coffee and talk, you know? let me get my jacket. so i tell him, "dee, why you acting like that?" he just sit there like i didn't say a damn thing. -he off the damn hook. you tell him about the plans, right? i told him you all was gonna set him up and everything. and he know how you all been doing for me while he away. he knows some. -i mean, damn, he don't need to know about it all, right? anyway, i'm saying i'll get down there next weekend... and he look at me like i ain't saying shit. he say just leave him alone. got to turn that roast. you gonna see, string, for real. -little donette know how to burn. your father bucking us, little man. what you think about that? yeah. i think you're right. -what you looking at? fucking ziggy, man. i'm about to get my ass shot behind his bullshit? we're reasonable, they're reasonable. fuck that, maybe on your side of town. -what's up? came to see a man about a car. maybe tell cheese we're here. yo, cheese. white boy. -yo, you got my money, man? that's what we came to talk about. yo, you got to a lot of heart... coming up in here without my fucking money. we thought maybe we can work something out... so you can get what's yours. how you plan to do that? -you give the car back, i'll get him to sell it off. camaro with a 350 in it, it's got to be worth more than $3,000. that's right clever. right clever, i got to say. and i appreciate you all coming all this way so much... -i'll give the boy another week to pay. of course, that ride ain't worth nothing near $3,000. you don't believe me? have a look. you show up at my door, i'm thinking better thoughts than this. -and you counted on that? who else am i gonna ask? i ain't no snitch, beadie. not even for you am i a snitch. i'm not thinking about it like that. -i'm thinking, here's a guy, and we had some times together... and even though, you know, it didn't get to where he might have wanted it... he's still a good guy... someone i can talk to about this. how come it didn't go nowhere? you did good. who knows? i don't know, you never know. -i could show you pictures of how they died. broken fingernails, blood on the walls. all of a sudden, you're a cop. help me with this, mau. you didn't get shit from grabbing up horseface and them, did you? -it's kind of funny when you think about it. i mean, you running around like your head's all chopped off... looking for someone to clue you in... when a lot of what you're asking about... is right there for the taking. how so? used to be us checkers did everything with paper and a pencil, right? -every move on a ship, we wrote it down. when that ship sails, and there ain't no problems... then that paper gets tossed. that don't happen today, right? nothing gets tossed anymore. the computer. -thanks, mau. well? good news and bad, zig. those fucking niggers. give me the bad. -they're still gonna kill you. they're gonna wait a week. what the fuck can be good? you can cancel your car insurance. let me get two red tops. -there we go. i hope you guys are taking notes. shit. one-and-one. one more time with that toothpick, i'm going to stab his eye with it. -ashamed he should be to be greek and call this a diner. a talk would ease his mind. ease my mind first. this business with the grand jury. we checked the courthouse. -there is nothing special. just the regular panels. they're trying to scare the men on the docks. and? nobody talks. -but sobotka, as i said, he's upset. it is more attention than he expected. he will need money for his lawyers. double his fee. but i don't need to meet with him. -let the money talk. everything we get from atlanta been walked on. each one weaker than the other. and this nigger roberto is on the shelf to us right now. i mean, it's getting hard to hold onto the towers... without our name all over the product is what i'm saying. -who got the good shit? eastside. eastside, who? this nigger milton got a small cut, prop joe... this jamaican cat who got the strip off gay street. you talking about petey, petey dixon. -you go over to the expressway at lunchtime... you can watch the fiends traveling from west to east. damn! i mean, i'm cutting shit with shit right now, trying to cheat, but sooner or later. i hear you, man, i'm on it. you working it out with dee? -boy got to find his own way. i'm saying, you know... i think we should keep reaching out to this kid. give something to him and his girl. i don't know, show them we got a plan. -take some real estate, put it in dee's name. he has something to come home to. do it. thing is, string, what happened happened, you know what i mean? push come to shove, i've been fair to him, ain't i? -you've been fair. too fair. where's the greek? he sent me. fuck you, and fuck him. -frank, he sent me to tell you that we're doubling your fee... to help with any legal troubles. he also told me to tell you he regrets... that you're still having problems on our behalf. they're throwing my people in back of police cars... and this asshole can't even talk face to face? i'm done. i'm out. -i need nothing more to do with you people. i don't need the trouble or the money. i got a union to run. they used to make steel there, no? smoke from the stacks. -but inside.... potassium permanganate. spell "permanganate." f-u-c-k. you even know what the fuck you're doing there, zig? -i'm in the checker's local, right? you know, while you local 47 boys... were having bulk cargo dropped on your heads... we was out grabbing the future by the balls. so you just type that shit in there and ask it for an answer? let me ask you: why do we give a fuck what the shit is for? -if they want it, they want it. i mean, besides, if i don't get some money soon... i'm fucking toasted. i don't know who you've been talking to... but we don't have that kind of stealing going on down here. it's not like the old days. -no? a little here and there, but for the most part... the new technology has changed everything. look, see this little box right here? you fucking mind? ring's a little stressed right now... having misplaced a frozen can full of japanese tuna steaks... supposed to be at the jessup wholesale market by yesterday. -bite me. frank, these officers are-- i know who they are. frank here helped set this system up. he probably can explain it better than i can, if he doesn't mind. -no problem, chief. in a nutshell, what this shows... is the aqua verde at berth 4. the plan calls for 85 moves. that's cans, containers, coming off the ship, and others going back on. now, look at the screen. -every time a can goes on or off, the computer creates a record... and puts it in the permanent database. he was saying the computer makes it hard to steal off the docks. did our port manager tell you that right now... we got 160 boxes missing off the patapsco terminal alone? or that last time we inventoried the truck chassis... we came up 300 light? no, i suppose not. -that's management for you. 160? not that all of them are stolen. you can lose a can by accident, no problem. for one thing, these hand-helds use radio waves. -with all the equipment and container stacks out there... sometimes waves get knocked down. that happens, a can don't get entered. or, just as easy, a checker makes the wrong entry. either 'cause he's lazy, he's sloppy, or he's still shitfaced from the night before. or, simpler than that, you got fat fingers. -no offense. so imagine february on the docks. you're wearing gortex gloves, trying to punch numbers on that thing. you're saying that's what happened to the can... with the girls in it? beadie, darling, i don't know what happened there. -i'm just saying, if you go by the computer... it might look like there's some dirt going down... when it's really just a glitch in the system. the customs seal was broke on that box. shouldn't that get noticed? you're offloading a ship the size of a small town. you might notice a broke seal, you might not. -look, you wanna keep pulling our chain, you can. but it ain't like it's just that one box that went missing. we lose them sons of bitches all the time. frank give you everything you need? he did, thanks. -they're playing us. you drove all the way from baltimore on a hope and a prayer? yeah, i'm dead-ended on this. is there anything we can offer any of them for cooperation? you could marry one of them, make her an american housewife. -short of that, they're going back the fuck where they came from. where do you hold them? county detention. we keep the undocumenteds out of gen pop. you all heard of worldcom? -all right, let's try this. you all get jacked by some knockos. but you all clean. you all got an outstanding warrant, like everybody in here. what do you do? -give another name. why? because your real name ain't no good. all right, it ain't good and.... follow through. -all right, death grip ain't shit? then change up the name. what else? yo, i got it, change the caps from red to blue, right? make it look like we got some fresh shit, boom. -you know what else we might could do? give each tower its own name, right? and then we do, like, some fake competing. so, a fiend gets some bad shit from one, he'd go back to the other. there's a thinking man, right there. -see, nigger, ain't that what the fuck i just said? you and my uncle talk? how'd it go? no problem. three boxes. -all of them on the wilhelmina. and you should tell your uncle... that it's three times the usual fee for each. we checked on those chemicals. we looked into that. i was worried, you know? -before i deliver, i wanna know what you need it for. a bomb or some shit? i ain't down for that. you use that shit to process drugs, don't you? cocaine. -you still want it, i got it on the fairfield piers. no problem. when? end of the week. maryska. -she's good with english. they're dead. all i'm trying to do is get word to the families. what did she say? she wants to know, if she knows a girl, does she get to stay? -you want a good restaurant for dinner, or are you headed right back? a computer? to run a trace on the missing containers in the port administration's database. you're looking for what? a pattern for our case. -we need to know who left those girls on the dock and why. we're supposed to be on sobotka and the checkers union anyway... so folding one investigation into the other makes sense. not to me, it doesn't. i'm not bringing your open murders... anywhere near this detail, that's a loser for us. lieutenant! -we bring in a few drug rips, and show that we gave sobotka... and his union a quick, fair look, it's more than enough for burrell. he returns the favor, and i'm out of the basement... and running an investigative unit again. you dirty me up with murders i can't solve. it doesn't play like that. homicide's not the place to sprawl a case, lieutenant. -rawls, landsman... they have no patience for anything but a quick shake. we got enough room for it here, anyway. you can set up here at the off-site... and we can share information. but the murders stay with homicide. unless, of course, you find a suspect. -three roiros, four containers. i got all my cards up, including long numbers... and we're still short. a good day. that it is. everybody works today, even you, my little j-series wonders. -even you. is horse working the wilhelmina today? i told that motherfucker we were done. i told him! he said he talked to you. -he said it's triple-rate for every can. triple? call horse in the tower. tell him he's working the wilhelmina. it's now or never for us, i got no choice. -today we got ships, uncle frank. today. but the writing's on the fucking wall. fuck the wall. #three days of rain# -it's 18 past the hour at listener-supported wloh, cleveland's jazz station. they say music is the balm of the soul, so keep that in mind as the big storm heads our way. we'll continue broadcasting to you all week long at cleveland's tri-c jazz fest. despite the forecast, we have a lot of great players coming to town. -you're listening to a couple of them right now composition arranged and composed by mr. bob belden and mr. joe lovano on the horn. operator to 4129...4129... copy? 4129... -copy? fare at 3308 ellington. 3308 ellington... copy. ah, shit! -god-dammit. c'mon. you can't do this! you know i'm struggling here. i'm a tile-maker. -that's all i ever did - huh? that's my crime?

-yeah, it'd be a frizz ball by the time we got there, and i'd have to put the whole thing on my list of the bad moments in life, and on my death bed? not a good idea. have a laugh on me, why don't you? one day you'll wish you'd listened to me, you know. i always listen to you. -yeah right. okay, honey. you ready? absolutely. it's a beautiful rainy night, and we're making the most of it, and life is good! -oh boy. good luck. have fun. it's really coming down out there, as the rain begins to pound upon this land of cleve. -and i'm happy to be here with you all week long from the tri-c jazz fest and wloh. this is cleveland's jazz station, and we will brave this storm together. what?

if you see that column of good moments, good things, is longer then a list of bad ones. then you've done all right. then you've done all right. -what the hell are you talking about? i don't have a idea. no, they won't fire him. probably stick him in a mail room somewhere... 'cause the don't want the national association of forrest gumps to file a law suit on their ass... -that's why? yeah... yeah... so, listen, man, why don't you come on down and try out his broom? see it it fits? -yeah, we're gonna' get you transferred. don't worry about that? all right. cool... so i'll see you tomorrow. -hey don't forget them squares. c'mon, c'mon, change. excuse me, ma'am i'm sorry. we can't help you. -no, ma'am. i wasn't going ask for money. i just wanted to know are you going to throw that food away? no, we're not. okay, i didn't mean to disturb you. -i'm sorry. why don't you just give it to him? are you kidding? it's liza's. we'll just get her something else. -no. how 'bout the dessert? hey, buddy, you want a dessert? yeah, sure. alex, what are you doing? -i'm not giving him the dessert. what difference does it make? it's my sister's dinner. i'm not splitting it up with some stranger. c'mon. -he's hungry, and she won't even know it's gone. i don't care. what do you mean? alex, i'm not giving him the damn dessert. hey, i understand. -it's okay. sorry man. no worries. yeah, yeah, that is exactly what i said there, and he had both of the regional vice-presidents with him. so they must have been there waiting for the other guy to come in from atlanta. -yeah, hold on a second? hey, pal, take the memorial shoreline. yeah, i'm going to be over there next thursday. thank you very much. have a pleasant evening, ma'am. -oh, dear. good heavens. what an appalling night! horrible! it's a bad one. -cleveland! i think cleveland and my first husband were the two biggest mistakes of my life. i mean, look at this. hillcrest, please. 64 normandy, and i'm running a little late so... you seem a little down tonight. -something the matter? you got a cold, or something? nope. don't have a cold. just having a bad night? -oh, boy, i know how that goes. there's nothing you can do. it's my son. i'm sorry, i really don't want to seem pushy, but do you think you could drive a little more pfffft, because, you know, i've really got there. sure, i'm sorry. -what about your son? what happened? well, he died. what? my son died. -my god! when, when when did he die? he died this week. he died this week? oh, no, please, please don't tell me that. -please. i try, try so hard not to have this happen. i can't afford it. this is my calling. you know, it has nothing to do with you. -i hurt so bad. you have no idea. i'm here, i'm here to suffer pain. these things, i'm destined to hear them. god, i've had the worst time. -you have no idea. are you all right? god! no, i've got to get out of here. you okay? -i'm fine. hillcrest, please. 64 normandy. i'm a little late. thanks. hey. -you stoned. no, i'm just... don't feed me the bullshit, tess. i hear it all day long; i don't want hear it from you. -sorry. how am i going to trust you with my daughter when you're as high as a god-dam kite? she's not your daughter. you know what your problem is? you still think that you belong here. -well, you lost your daughter, tess, and i had nothing to do with it. you lost her because you're a junkie little thief and the courts knew it. they could arrest you right now. gee, that would be ironic. get out of my car. -c'mon, i was just... i am jeopardizing my career. do you know what that means? yes, i know. i don't think you do. -i appreciate what you are doi... you what? what are you? i'm grateful. good. -now, pull your pants down... to your feet. leave the panties on. that was really stupid, you know. that could have been a dangerous situation. please. -you could have just given him some change. i was giving him the dessert. he didn't ask for change. he would have taken the money. i don't know jen. -he said he wouldn't. that's because i turned him down before he had a chance to ask. i don't know why you care anyway. i've seen you pass them up a million times. see? -that's what i'm talking about, jen. i'm talking about appreciating the position that we're in and having empathy for those who aren't. the guy was homeless; he was hungry; he was soaking wet. god, let's not argue about this. we were having a good time in the restaurant. -let's just forget about it. c'mon, forget about it. hey, forgeddaboutit, eh? forgeddaboutit. hi, honey. -lillian's here. and lillian, how are you? i'm fine. i'm just fine. i don't know about the weather though. -i thought you were going to clear it up for me. this is, um, erin's babysitter, tess. it's nice to meet you. i'll just go up and check on her then. she's been sleeping, dear. -she probably needs changing. darling girl. where did you find her? eamon found her actually, through some agency. right, honey? -ah, yeah. hey, sweetie. oh...that's my girl. mommy's here now, sweetie. it's gonna' be okay. -yeah. as the rain continues to burden our souls, let me remind you that we are together in this thin realm. that's what keeps us going, and that's what keeps us great. so stay tuned as we continue bringing you the best music on the planet from down at the tri-c jazzfest. ronnie jordan and jason moran coming up... -god i miss you. it's ruined, complete garbage well, they say it's wonderful in new york. oh, i know it was good in new york. but, a lot of times, they change the cast, and you could wind up with something from, like, cleveland -community college. and then it's not the same show. hey. hi, alex. nice breakfast -hey, honey, how can you find out if a play still has the original cast? can you look it up on the internet or something? i don't know. couldn't you call the theater and ask them? logical. -don't you hate it when they do that? hey, hey, hey, alex. what are you doing? she's still eating. you want her to lose her appetite? -tar. that's really disgusting. i know. i know. makes me kind of sick to my stomach. -interesting gene pool. oh, my god. chocó-mousse. this is breakfast? what? -what did i say? denis, denis, this is mr. garret. he's from the commission. he's here to investigate something. why don't you grab a seat? -i need a chair, please. denis, look, we're trying to straighten something out here, and we could really use your help. okay? okay. have you ever seen that before? -no, i have not. you never saw one of those before? yes, i've seen one. do you know where that particular one came from? anywhere? -anywhere how do you mean? how do i mean? denis? i don't know! well, this sleeper, now this was found hidden on top of your locker. -i don't think it just got up there by itself. i'm just trying to figure out what happened. how'd it get there, denis? i don't know! good morning. -yeah, hi. this is john thunderking. i'm trying to reach helen robinson. who? the widow, man. -helen robinson. no, i'm aware of mrs. robinson. i've only worked here for 15 years. i was asking your name. well, i guess i got a little confused, since i already gave you my name. -you gave me her name too. why didn't that confuse you? wha... who is this? look, generally speaking, when you're calling someone, you don't ask who they are. -it works the other way around. if you want to contact mrs. robinson, you'll need to send her a letter. listen, man. i did the widow's tiles, and she hasn't paid, and i'm trying... fucking dick! -these sleeper nuts they hold the rail together. and if you can get a little bit of space in here, just a little bit, it causes a vibration. anyway, that vibration travels down the tracks, picking up speed as it goes along. when it meets up with the wheel of a train, it drives it right off into the rocks. and that's when a lot of innocent people get hurt. -hi, how you doing? i was here last night, and, there was a guy up against your wall. what did he do? no, nothing. he was very nice actually. -i was just a little concerned about him with the weather and everything. has he been around today? nope. you know him? no. - 50 cents. -okay. thank you. this rain's something else? yeah, it's supposed to last until, i think, friday? now, his name is joseph, the guy you're looking for, a vietnam vet, and you know, there's going to be guys standing around here all night, it might as well be him. -i mean, he ain't that bad. yeah. i wonder if you'd do me a favor? if he comes by again, would you, like, you know, give him a sandwich or something warm to, you know, get him through the bad weather. sure. -who can i say? no. he doesn't know me. he just asked me for some food the other night, and i thought i'd help him out. sure. -you know i brew him coffee now and then, in the back when i change the pots and all. yeah, good man. i'll tell him you came? thanks. get up, girlfriend. -get up and check out the goods. we've got cultural attractions in there. historical landmarks. annual events. natural phenomenon. -cowboy watering holes. yee-haw! ride me like a bronco, baby' where'd you get all this stuff? triple a. the only good deal left in america. -they got everything! they got books, maps, leaflets, bumper stickers, all that shit. and it's all free. but you don't have a car. it doesn't matter. -it's still a good deal. jeez. look at these guys. i know, cowgirl. i'm trying to tell you. -you see, we hook up with one of these guys, and we only have to see him about one weekend a month. he'll be out on the range. but when he does come home, he'll be windblown, tan, a marlboro man. takin' off his hat, throwing you on the bed, tearing off your clothes, like rawhide. you're not even gonna' be able to walk straight till the next time he comes home. -well, hey, pop. michael, my angel, give me a hug, bug. i'm sorry, darlin'. i've had too much to drink. sure. -don't worry about it, pop. michael, this is important. did you give up on me? no. good. -i want to ask you something. what day is it? wednesday. that's good, 'cause on friday i get my pension check. okay. -i was wondering could you lend me $100 till friday? it's the back rent. they caught me with my pants empty. i think i've only got 40 bucks, pop. i can probably get the rest for you tomorrow. -oh, that's great. thank you. how you been? it's been a while. yeah, it's been a while. -but you know, michael, five times... five times, i tried to come see you, but pressing things piled up, and this and that and the other. that is not true. that is a lie. i did not try to see you. -and you know it, and i know it. i'm sorry. i'm sorry mike, you think you could treat your old man to a bottle of beer? gramcracker, listen, i'd love to talk but i'm in a really bad way here, and i need your help. -we've got a fuckin' monsoon here in cleveland, and the moisture in the air ruined all my tiles again. now, i've got an order waiting, but i need some money to buy some more clay. i can get it back to you in a week, tops. i need two thousand; i know it's your savings; but, yeah... -what? the horse races? all right, gram. thank you, mike. ah, gracias, senor. -michael, the other day, phil and i went to the track. no, actually, there was three of us; and we each chipped in 2 bucks, and we bet on a long shot, viva larue in the 5th. well, michael, that horse had wings! coming down the final stretch, its hoofs never touched the ground, and we made a 130 bucks, and we never looked back. -it's a wonderful sport, horse racing. you okay, pop? hey, pop, i got some shoes from one of those catalogs the other day, and they came in too small. i don't know if you're looking for a pair. i was hoping you could buy them off me. -i could give them to you for half-price. i'm not interested in any discount. i'm very happy to look at them, but i pay the full price or there's no deal. we can just make it part of the loan? that's fair enough. -let's see what you have. how about that? these are very becoming. yes, they look like they fit just my size. okay, my boy, you've got a deal. -i get my pension next thursday, and i'll send it to you. what? it's a joke, michael. i keep feeding you all this horseshit. there ain't no pension. -i owe it all. i lied about it. and i lied about the god-dam races too. i make it up. you can get me next month. -yeah, yeah i'll give it to you next month. so, what time are you going'? i don't know. they had a guest from out of town supposedly. -maybe that's good. doesn't matter. he always does it to me in the car anyway. you know, i think this is really fucked up. it just seems like you should do something. -kidnap her, and just report the fucking guy. set him up. he's a judge. what do you think is gonna' happen if i report him? they're going to call me a liar, and they're going to revoke my probation, and then he's gonna' cut me off. -and if i'm lucky, at the very best, they're gonna' take erin and they're gonna' shove into some other foster home. they're sure as shit not gonna' give her back to me? i don't know. maybe this time it's not in cleveland. maybe it's in fucking wyoming. -i don't know. maybe wyoming's the answer. it's my daughter, lisa. i'm a mother. nothing personal, but that's something you don't know anything about. -denis? yes? garrett wants you over at the main office in the morning instead of coming over here. all right. all right, so go over there first. -what for? he's gonna' show you some training videos or something. i don't know. i do not know how that bolt got on top of my locker. yeah. -well. i guess that's what he's trying to figure out. it's probably been up there for a long time, jim. i've still got to report it, denis. it's not me trying to accuse you of anything. -i'm just doing my job. all right. look, if reinhart's over there tomorrow, i hope you don't go telling him some bullshit. 'cause i'm not doing anything wrong to you. now, i've been around here for a while. i'm just following the rules. -all right. i won't tell anything. there's nothing to tell. i'm just saying... he wants you over there by ten. -okay. i'll see you tomorrow. we'll see you. 'night, jim. taxi! -are you operational? yeah, sure. oh, my god! keep to the left? are you all right? -you know, we can take another cab. sorry... my son died this week. your son died? yes. -i'm sorry to hear that. you okay to drive? yeah, i'm fine. nobody knows what happened. he was healthy. -i'm sorry. listen, you might want to turn on your windshield wipers. you know, i felt a little like it was me, you know. maybe it was supposed to be me. i don't know. -you don't know how to feel. listen, listen. i'm terribly sorry about your son, my condolences; but my sister here just lost her husband, so it's just a difficult topic of discussion right now death. you understand? -i hope i didn't upset her. no, no, she was already upset. who is it? ghost. hey, ghost. -hey, what's up? not much. hey, man, i cover for you, right? i cover for you every month. but what am i doing here? -what are you talking about? they're coming down on me, man, and that's not cool. i mean, we all hit the rent late, but you've got a real problem. ghost? no, no, no. -now, listen to me, all right. i just want to play my drums. i mean i know i live here for free, and all i gotta' do is collect the rent. but you know what an asshole that makes me feel like? i mean, do you know how much that wrecks my life? -i don't have it, ghost. i'm tapped. nothing's working out for me this month. rain came through again and ruined my tile. something's out to get me, man. -i know how that goes all right. but just try paying rent 2 months late instead of three. you know, 'cause it's just a bunch of bad energy, i mean like real bad energy. tickets are still available for venues located throughout the metro area with the exception of the great lakes music auditorium. apparently due to faulty engineering, the entire building flooded and half the ceiling caved in. -i guess it could have been worse. the place never had good acoustics to start with. good morning. good morning. i'm here for the training video. -great. you're a new employee? no. i'm an old one. an old one? -i'm an old employee. are you meeting someone here today? i'm denis baggerly. i'm here to see mr. garrett. okay. -thank you. hey, pop? c'mon. i got a cab. michael! -c'mon in. c'mon, pop. he's not going to wait. no. c'mon in. -i want to be with you. come on. dad? forget about it. it don't mean nothing. -come on in. come, my angel. i love you, darling. forget the rooming house. you don't want to go to the rooming house. -the ladies in there forget it. they'll wait. forget about it. i love you. denis this way. -sit there. what is this? it's your competency test. competency? i already took this. -you need to take it again. last time i studied. you need to study to be competent. you're either competent or you're not. ready? -yes? is mr. rhineheart here yet? now look, denis you're not going to be getting any more special treatment around here. okay? all right. -you're an employee of the railroad. and if you're not capable of doing you job, then you shouldn't have it. it's as simple as that. nothing personal. don't you agree? -don't i agree? don't you agree, that if you're not capable of doing your job, then you really shouldn't have it? right. great, then. i'll put that in my report. -you have forty-five minutes. all right. michael, listen. i want to tell you something. i am not proud of what i do. -what do you mean, pop? you know what i mean. dad, listen. you've got no reason to be ashamed. all right? -you can't work with your hip, and your pension doesn't cover the bills. the pension does cover the bills. no, it doesn't. it's just that sometimes it's hard to sleep at night you know? it's like that letter i sent last week about being sick. -i wasn't sick. i wanted to by some rum, and you know i got the old women down there. your brother is the same way. i sponge on him even worse than you. time's up. -you didn't finish. okay, denis. i'm going to show you some slides to help you put a visual on what we were talking about yesterday you know, about the trains getting derailed and everything. have you seen these before? well, i hope not, because these are kinda' hard to forget. -good memories teaching you how to skate. you remember? yeah. you kept falling down, falling down, falling down. what were you, seven? -a little tyke, like this here. miguel miguelito. "miguelito, miguelito, get up! it's easy to skate. -it's easy!" and what did you say? i said, "it's easy to skate, but it's hard to learn." okay? i must've told that story twenty times? driver driver, stop! pull over! -i'll just be a few minutes. yeah, this is john thunderking. you left a note on my stud baker a couple of weeks ago that said you wanted to buy it for two grand? yeah. well, if you still have the cash, i'll sell you my car? -yeah, okay? all right, dude? yeah, same place. fruitcake, man. how'd it go over there yesterday? -you finish up? i failed the test, and i have to wait and see. what test? compencsy. competency, denis. -what did you take that for? i don't know. garret give it to you? yeah. it ain't like they're gonna' fire you or nothing, right? -you got immunity? oh, shit. why didn't you pass it? you passed the last time, right? yes. -here it is. are you the original owner? no. it's a '66, so it's five. right. -listen, the truth is, i don't want to get rid of the thing. have you been using synthetic oil? yeah. good, good. well, let's start her up, shall we? -no rust. this little girl's been pampered, hasn't she? pampered like a little child. good smell. no stench. -where's she from? i bought her here in cleveland. down south, most likely. she's a little southern belle? aren't you a kinky little southern belle? -do you know how i knew she's a southern belle? no. because she's sexy, very sexy. i'll probably take her home. all right, but i can't take less than two thousand. -i'm in kind of a jam. two thousand's nothing. i've got it right here in my pocket. great! why? -why did you kill the engine? what? the car why did you turn it off? because i thought we were going to make a deal. no, no. -start her up again. you know, it's not good to let her idle for too long. she can get a little hot. what are you talking about? you think i don't know these cars? -turn it on. all right, all right. i'll take it. you have the title? yeah, it's right here. -will you take it for a thousand? sorry about that. there was a gal in there that i had to talk to. so, what happened to emily? is she still in school? -no. she finished last may. she moved in with a friend of hers. what are you talking about? she left school? -oh, my god! well, how did she do it? no mother, no family. michael, does she know that i'm still alive? i used to call her my little buttercup. -do you remember that? i'd love to see her again. you think there's any chance? you can see her whenever you want. she won't object? -dad, she loves you. she's tried to call you herself couple times since last christmas. work it out, miguelito. please, do that for me. sure. -of course, she must be a young lady now. refined, right? i couldn't exactly go to see her in this getup. we have to stop by your house, and you fix me up with one of your suits. and then we can drive over and see her, okay? -okay. michael, when we get to the rooming house, you don't have to come in. that way, you can keep the cab. i'd like to finally see your place. oh, of course. -i'm looking for scott, please. do you know where he is? just tell him thunder called, and i'm in kind of a jam. no, i said i'm in a jam. i need a loan for a couple of days. -yeah, okay. you all right? yeah, i'm fine. why? this kinda' reminds me of a hospital. -yes, it probably was a hospital at one time. michael, if the old lady says anything anything rude or anything, don't pay any attention to her. just try to be polite. she's an ugly, ignorant old goat, but she's a good person underneath. and, they have big hearts. -all of them have big hearts. but they just might tend to hate you a little bit. tend to hate me? . well, you know how it is. -why would they hate me? it's, gosh, i don't know what it is. i assume the part of an abused father sometimes to get a little sympathy now and then. i need that, but it's nothing to worry about. entrevous. -this is it. this is my cell. not much to see. pop, don't you think i ought to meet these ladies? oh, sure. -why not? just give me a second to make sure they're appropriately dressed. it was the same thing they proposed in that woody allen movie? which was... there was a... -no, let me talk please. there's a cat, and the only known copy of the complete works of william shakespeare in a burning house; you can only save one; which do you save? is it a cat, or a kitten? seriously, it's a tough question. -i say, the cat. you do? of course, i do. so do i. you see i don't know if i could do that. -if it were a human being definitely. but we're talking about one of the most substantial volumes of literature ever written. exactly. yeah, but... it's changed lives. -it's probably saved lives. some people treat shakespeare like it's the bible. but you're weighing it against the value of a life. right. a living thing. -what you'd let it burn to death? i'd have to let it fend for itself. what a surprise. i never would have guessed. what's that supposed to mean? -it means i'm not surprised, and i could have guessed. congratulations. actually, the way i heard it was a little different. the way i heard it, it was a burning house, and there was a man in it - a homeless man - ironically enough, and you have to choose between the man and a piece of chocolate mousse. mousse? -alex, give it a rest. i went looking for him yesterday, actually, and he's gone. that's wonderful. i hope it made you feel better. alex has decided that he's personally responsible for the homeless population of greater cleveland at least as long as it's raining. -one man, one piece of food. alex, this is not the time or the place. it's not the time or the place, because you don't have an answer. it was none of our business, alex. that's my answer. -it was a he. please. would anyone like some dessert? i promise you, it's not mousse. be polite. -michael, come in. do us the honor of sitting down and having a cup of coffee. so, did you get it? got it? and michael, the ladies are delighted to see you. -this is rose judith and dorinda. nice to meet you. good evening. well, sit down, michael. nothing fancy here, my son. -we're all plain, ordinary people. i need another glass, after the mushrooms. what about your son, waldo? does he want a glass? well, pour him a glass. -he'll drink it. we're all friends here. i'm afraid our humble abode doesn't suit him very well. our abode is just fine. leave him alone. -what was so wrong? not giving him a ten dollar piece of chocolate mousse? that was wrong? you're not hearing a word i've said, jen. i'm talking about a man's life. -no, you're not! alex, you don't even know what we're talking about. you are pissed off at me for some unknown reason, and this is your little vehicle of attack. alex, when did you ever give a shit about the homeless? and in front of my god-dam friends! -you know you ruined the entire dinner. you know, jen, there is man curled up in a ball as we speak, and you're worried about your fucking dinner! for christ's sake, they ruined his life, jen, before he was old enough to drink. and now he's hungry, he's wet, he's sleeping in an alley somewhere, and... there are thousands of homeless people all over the world. -you know, if we stopped to think about how much suffering there is on this planet, our heads would explode. his name's joseph. there's nothing we can do. yes, there is. no, there isn't, alex and you are a fool if you think that giving a sandwich to a guy on some street is going to change something well, you are just wrong. -i cannot believe that you are being so stupid. you're not a kind person, jen. i've spent my whole life with you, and you are not kind person. the food was for liza, alex. forget about the food! -i'm talking about you. so what if i'm not? so what if i'm not a kind person? what are you going to do about it? are you going to leave me over a piece of chocolate mousse? -i'm not going to start giving up everything i have worked hard for to every drunk that comes up to me on a street corner? okay? he was drunk? of course, he was. you have the older generation, half of them anyway, completely forgotten. -homeless. i've seen them on the street. and don't you think their ungrateful children don't know exactly where they are? they let them suffer. i don't know that i think that's entirely true. -what? i think some of them are. why don't you say what you're really thinking? you're think i'm a fallen man an object of pity. well, let me tell you something, young man, my mind, the simple life is far more natural way to live than yours. -look around here. we don't need anything especially your opinions coming down from the mountaintop i'm afraid i have to be going. far be it from us to hold you up. i'll go. -excuse me, ladies. michael, michael! michael. dad? no, no, listen to me, michael. -just do one thing for me. talk to emily. i'm sorry about what happened in there. it's just... i'll clean myself up. -would you do it for me? ok pop. well, the heavy rain is continuing to pour down on us, which might be good for some farmer or something; but as far as the jazz fest is concerned, it tends to put a damper on things. the term "relentless" comes to mind. -maybe that's just me. or maybe it's just nature's way of reminding all of us of exactly where we stand. if it keeps us like this, it'll probably wash out the tracks. maybe. what's that supposed to mean? -like you don't care? there's no trains here. well, there could be a train. you think 'cause they're bypassing this place, they're never going to use it again? that's the point. -they're using us for overflow. you wouldn't know what to do if a train came by here anyway.. maybe not. you know what your problem is, dennis? you're a victim. -you're always playing the part of a victim. you know what happens to victims? they get victimized. you got nobody to blame but yourself. okay... -i think i'll get on. what? the train. if a train came by, i'd get on and ride it wherever i wanted to go. you can barely get on a bus. -what the hell you talking about? i think i'll get on. where you think you're gonna' go? where you gonna' ride to anyway? i don't know. -a better place. a better place than this. i'd like to see you try. you look kinda' rough today. you have a tough night? -yeah. any word from joseph? i haven't seen him. you know, the heavy rain hasn't let up for a minute. i don't know where the hell he is. -probably holed up until the weather breaks. terrible storm, huh? yeah. you know, i wonder? i look out there and i see the rain washing the streets, and i wonder, where the hell does it all go? -you know i look down at that gutter there, and i see toys, photographs, everything, floating down to that tree over there, where there's a whirlpool that goes round and round and you wonder where the hell it goes after that. to the ocean an island, maybe a tropical island and or maybe it just stays there till it rots. oh, the hell with it. maybe i've just been at this job too long, eh? yeah, i'm trying to reach helen robinson. -it's very important. is she there, please? as i already told you on tuesday, she doesn't receive calls. she hasn't received calls since the day of her husband's death. if you need to contact her, you'll have to send a letter. -look, my name is johnathan thunderking. right. i have a very urgent business matter to discuss with mrs. robinson. you know, if you don't mind, i'd like to know to whom it is i'm speaking with. well, the person to whom it is you're speaking with does happen to mind, and... -listen, you fucking asshole! i'm going to come over and wrap that phone around your fucking... fuck! yes? excuse me. -i'm looking for mrs. robinson. so i've heard. yeah. well, is she in? i am she. -i'm mrs. robinson. i have a business matter to discuss with you. i'm sorry to disturb you, but it's very important. thank you. won't you sit down? -thank you. look i'm sorry to barge in on you like this. this isn't how i usually operate at all. it's just that i'm in a very tough predicament right now, and i just need to take care of it. my tile dealer i'm a tile maker -i'm the one who made the tiles for your bathroom. anyway, my dealer's been trying to collect the debt from your ex-husband. late. what? my late husband. -oh yeah late. i'm sorry about that, by the way. anyway, he has to be billed for those tiles twenty-four hundred dollars. i'll go through our files, and if we owe you the money, i'll be more than happy... actually, i have the original invoice here, and you can see that it has your husband's signature on it, and it says "unpaid." -my accountant will send you a check. yeah. normally, that would be great. but like i said, i'm in kind of a jam. i mean this has nothing to do with you, but the rain came in and ruined all my tiles - and my landlord filed a final eviction notice on me. -he'd love to kick me out because i've got a twenty year old lease and... i'm so sorry, but there's nothing else i can do. actually, i was hoping you could write a check. i don't have a check... it's been seven months to the day since my husband died. -i'm in no fit state to discuss business. so, what? am i supposed to lose my loft because you can't deal with paying a bill? i told you will be paid tomorrow. that's too late! -well, that's too bad! look... sorry... it's just... you're the last chance i have. i've tried everybody else. i mean, you do have a checkbook, don't you? have his card. -call him yourself. he'll be back in the morning. i can't wait for your accountant! haven't you listened to anything i've said? i have explained to you the situation. -now, as far as i'm concerned, this conversation is over. well, as far as i'm concerned, it's not over. show yourself out. no, i don't think so. i can't leave until i get my money. -what did you say? i'm not leaving until you pay me. get out. hello. hey, john. -yeah. this is mark down at the garage. listen, you got julian in a piss last night by not turning in. you showing up today? yeah, yeah, i'm coming over. -you know my son passed away. yeah, yeah. that's probably what's going to get you off the hook. listen, if i were you, i would just pick up my keys and head out. i wouldn't bother trying to explain nothing to julian. -you know how he gets. yeah. okay. i'll do that. okay, buddy. -see you later then. thanks for calling. mrs. robinson? mrs. rob... all right, mr. king? -it's thunderking, junior, and i'm warning you right now, if you piss me off, i'm going to cut you with my boot knife. yes, that's very amusing, mr. king. but mrs. robinson has asked me to show you out. did you hear what i said, you little cream puff? -don't mess with me. let's go! oh, you're going to regret that. yeah? what are you going to do about it, you little sissy? -you gonna' tell on me? i'm not leaving until i get my money. hamhock! what are you still doing in my house? what the hell is that? -what - are you gonna' mace me? police issue pepper spray. and i'm going to nail you between the eyes if you don't get the hell out of here now. you invited me in here. i'm not breaking any laws. -and now, i'm telling you to get out! and i'm telling you i'm not going. i'm going to walk over there and sit on that couch until i get my money. if you want to spray me in the eyes, go right ahead. i have told you five times that you will receive your money tomorrow. -and i've told you five times that if i don't get my money today, i must as well walk into your kitchen and stick my head in the god-dam oven. you think i'm making this shit up? you think i'm lying to you? i might even be able to understand the kind of pain you're going through right now. the woman i loved my whole god-dam life walked out on me seven months ago too. -i don't want to bore you with the details, but i've lost fifteen pounds and i haven't slept a full night since. i'm very sorry. god-dammit, you should be. you remind me of her. what? -i don't know, jim. you don't know? no. good-night. okay. -fourth man up front. he who has less hair sits up there. don't be mad at me. you guys out chasing women? bird-dogging, pop. -that's what we call it these days. that's not what i call it. it's fucking freezing. turn the heat on up there. where we going, wendell? -south. i can't feel my fucking toes. john? fake i.d. there, john? is that you? -are you an immigrant? let the man drive his cab, man. please! you're from greenland, aren't you, john? no, sir. -i'm not from greenland. then why's the cab so fucking cold? it's not that cold. he's trying to freeze me. maybe he's with the enemy. -from helsinki or moscow. look at his mannerisms and things like that his after you. john - what are you playing on the radio, my friend? what's that? football game. -football. you know football, john? oh, yeah, yeah. what team's playing? the browns. -they have a pretty good team this year. the browns? where they from now? they're, they're from here, sir. they're from cleveland. -you want me to throw these guys out, john? they're just having some fun. yeah, we are. but you're not, are you, john? i'm hanging in there. -i don't think so, john. i think you have a dismal life in this freezing cab. you find humor in nothing. i know, because i'm funny. i don't know what it is though. -is it something about youth? fuck you, man. well tell me what it is. we're drunk. brother john, you can spill your soul to me. -i don't know. maybe it's the rain. yes, the rain. you're late. why do you always do that? -you sound like you're on a tv show instead of real life. this is real life, so deal with it. yeah, yeah. sorry. you have your stuff: -yeah, yeah... nice jacket. i'm on the clock. this isn't a social visit. you still on the horse? -no one's called it "horse" for a really long time. have you been in lockup lately? i'm in there every day with the habituals. well, i'm not shooting. see you're doing it again right now, like that new york blue or whatever. -if you don't clean yourself up, i'm going to have to do a refile. oh, come on, sharon... i'm serious. i'm not fucking around with you. i had a bad week. -all right? that's it. i just had a really bad week. we all have bad weeks. it's just part of life. -now i know you're hurting, and i know the future looks like shit. and i can't even imagine what kind of pain you're going through over your daughter, but you gotta' change your life. i don't even know how. but i know that the first step is to clean yourself up. you gotta' start the methadone. -i know. my friend called me last night, and she's my age, and her parents just had a baby, a little girl. but she's afraid for her little sister because her father, he molested her the whole time she was growing up, so now she thinks he's going to do it to the baby when it gets older. but she's not sure. she should be sure. -she should get the child out of the house, because it will happen. i know. i see it every day. what are you doing? i missed the bus. -probably late because of the rain. can you wait it out? yeah, i can catch the next one. i'd give you a ride, but i've got... to pick up some stuff. oh, no. -that's okay. i can catch the next one. see you tomorrow. yeah, we'll see. hello. -greg? is that you? dad? oh, my angel, you always know my voice, don't you? what's the matter, dad? -it's after midnight. well, it's nothing bad. it's just... well, we just had a little flooding down here. flooding? yeah, you know the rain kept trying to get in, and i guess the damn stuff finally made it. -are you all right? was anybody hurt? oh, my, no. no, nobody's hurt. but we got a lot of water down here. -in fact, i'm standing in about six inches of it right now. all right. do you need anything? oh, no. i'm all right. -some of my stuff got ruined, some of my amenities and such. i'll be able to take care of the myself, but the damn pension hasn't turned up. how much do you need? probably a hundred should take care of it. i'll give it back to you in a week. -don't worry about it. it's not a problem. at 7:30 p.m., the reinburger chamber hall will host the 25th annual tri-c jam session. in attendance will be burno, hays, wendholt, lovano, -reuchert, and rumor has it that the great joe chambers might make an appearance. if there is any way you can catch the session, i highly recommend it. when these guys get together, it's a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. hi. oh, hi. -how is she? oh, she's fine. sorry we're late. that's okay. speaking of which, we saved the cab for you, if you're ready to go. -great, great. he's waiting downstairs. i'll just be a second. flooding continues throughout the state, and the fire department and the local mas struggle to field an overabundance of emergency calls. now let's go to gloria rice in the field. -that's absolutely right, john. the roads have been commuter danger zones... where you going? to make a sandwich. it's a little early for a picnic. -yeah. not the best weather either. no. can i come? taxi! -taxi, stop! breakfast? no, just coffee for now. thanks. that's a lot of syrup you've got there. -yeah. i used to be really big on pancakes. my son recently died, but before that, i used to make them all the time. you have any kids? no. -yeah. i'm a cab driver, you know. we were both drivers. today should have been his day, actually. that's how it is, though. -he said good-bye to me, and he went and died. i had to go back down there to get his clothes, too. they made me go back to his room. he just got sick, you know, just for no reason. i stayed with him until they had to make me leave. -and he knew. he knew. he said, "good-bye." he was so brave. he was just a kid, just a kid. -maybe it is just a midlife crisis. i don't know what it is. i just have this feeling in my gut like it's some kind of test, you know. like god sent and angel or a saint down here, and i missed my chance of being a good person. you know? -i really feel like that's important it is. it's everything. yeah. you live your life and acquire wealth, power, and you haven't been decent. -you'll regret at all. that's right. you're on your death bed and you regret every day you've spent. who you spent it with. and that you didn't have the sense to change. -you know that? are you leaving my sister? no. i don't know. i don't know. -i just feel like i'm seeing things a little more clearly now. she'll take you for all you're worth. i'm not saying i'm going to leave her, liza. that's not what i'm saying. i just feel that i need to take some time and think things out. -i don't care about things. she can have it all. i just feel like i should be spending my time with? with somebody else? maybe that is what i'm saying. -like who? i don't know. i don't know. maybe i don't have a clue what i'm saying. maybe i'm losing my mind. -you might be. there's nobody here. let's check by carnegie bridge. okay. it's 2 minutes past the hour and i'll leave you with a final composition as i slip out of here. -it seems that we've managed to weather the storm together. and i want to thank you for tuning in and being part of the show. here is belden's trio off the blue note label with a piece entitled "extensions in time." from radio square in downtown cleveland, this is wloh signing off until tomorrow. ? -it's years like these? ? that make a young man old? ? bend his back against the promises? -? that life should hold? ? they can make him wise? ? -they can drive him? ? to his knees? ? there ain't nothin' comes for free? -? in days like these? ? but you can't reap? ? -what you don't sow? ? and you can't plant? ? in hollow ground? -? so let us fill? ? this empty earth with hope? ? -till the rains? ? calm down? ? in days...? -? like these.? your face. this ain't shit. you should've seen me a few days ago. -you'd have been proud. i ain't proud, omar. i'm sorry. me too. i fucked up, and i know that. -look, if i tell you why i was selling tits, you can't go to mcmanus, okay? you have my word. redding forced me. i tried to tell the motherfucker no, but he just wasn't hearing no. -and i was too much of an ass for you to come and ask for help, right? i needed those things you said... just to straighten me out. shit, i even needed some of that ike turner treatment. look, i'm sorry, you're sorry, next chapter, okay? you know the ridiculous irony of this whole thing, omar? -i was the one with the addiction. huh? my power trip. i was high, 24-7, being the master of your recovery. power... it's as evil a drug as anything else. -you know, i would like you to call me... kareem. kareem it is, then. thank you. i must say, i think you're gonna be nicely surprised by the variety show. -and... omar white is the grand finale. what, is he that good? i didn't say that. i'm just... -i'm proudest of him because he has really put his heart and soul into this. as long as he goes through with it, he will have succeeded. how well he sings doesn't matter. is there anything i can do to help at this point? as a matter of fact... we need an emcee. -forget about it. aw. i'm not good at ducking rotten fruit. you think i'm kidding? the mob at the coliseum in ancient rome was kinder. -why don't you try mukada? at least he's got god on his side. you're such a chicken. ? laughing in the sun? -? always having fun? ? doing all those things...? what? -what the fuck is that puberty shit? don't worry. you're working out the kinks. okay. here we go. -whoa, whoa, hold up, hold up. i just need a minute, all right? shit. there ain't even nobody out there and my fucking heart is pounding. omar, you are doing fine. -the butterflies are natural. but fine means i'm fucked. shit... these motherfuckers are gonna eat me for lunch, motherfuckers! i can just see them out there trying to fucking jam me up and shit. repeat after me. -fuck. huh? fuck! fuck. them. -say it. them. say it. fuck... them. very good, thank you very much. -okay, here we go. poet, can i talk to you a second? i need a little bit of advice, man. i be seeing you getting up there, you know, in front of everybody reciting your poetry, man. yeah. -well, i got this talent show gig. oh man. i'm bugging. here, sit down. poet got the answer. -sit, sit, sit, sit. i got the answer. how you be gettin' up on stage like that, you know? calm and cocky and shit like you own the joint? easy. -big old titty fuck in the green room always do the trick. i can't hold that, man. why not? why not? 'cause mcmanus and said say you can't? -let me tell you something, coz, i already been down that road with them two. said feeding me that bullshit that i'm gonna be a symbol. a phoenix, rising on the wings of poetry from the ashes of a crack-out? man, fuck that. -i'm just surviving the war, yo. and me getting up on stage, kicking them rhymes, that's me firing back. and me juicing up when i need to? that's me treating the wounds. just in case you need the medicine, we'll call that an iou. -just in case, all right? now remember one thing... everyone's eyes will be on you. my sister is so fat that she turns around and we give her a "welcome back" hug. when she gets on an elevator, it has to go down. okay, thanks, you're beautiful. -jesus, that's a tough crowd. agamemnon busmalis! i would tell you to imagine that they're all naked, but, i guess you've already seen a lot of them naked. and finally, omar white. ? -i wanna be? ? free...? ? like the bluebirds? -? flying by me? ? like the waves? ? -out on the blue sea? ? if your love has to tie me? ? don't try me, say goodbye? -? i wanna be? ? free? ? -like the warm september wind, babe? ? say you'll always be my friend, babe? ? we can make it to the end, babe? -? again, babe? ? i gotta say? ? -i wanna be? ? free.? ? i wanna be? -? free.? omar, you suck! ? i wanna be? -? free.? you're gloating. no, i'm not. you are. -you're waiting for me to take back what i said, that you always bet on the impossible and lose. well, let me get you started. i was wrong... timmy, you are so cute. wrong... -very few men would find vindication in the prison version of "star search." okay, i'm gloating. but, you know, indulge me. omar white was a lost cause, but i didn't give up on him. i stayed by his side, and you know what? -it's worth all the shit that hasn't worked to see one of them, just one, pull through. still ironing your own shirts, aren't you? you know, i know what you're thinking. tim loves his lost causes. i love when you read my mind. -try again. oh, what's up, dude? the poet got the cure. the poet got the cure. i took a rain check. -i ain't need that shit, coz. i mean, i went close, man, but then i said, "don't numb yourself. feel it. yeah." -you fucking with me? you fucking with me, right? no, it's the tits that's fucking with you. hoo-hoo-hoo! once again, with all due respect, imam, we are concerned with who you choose to spend your time with. -am i close? i thought so. with all omar white's put you through in this so-called sponsorship, now you two are buddy-buddy? yes. -because the alternative is repugnant to me. meaning? there's been a largely unknown but disgusting stain upon our faith. it's an issue that i have ignored in my teachings to you. despite the koran's forbiddance of slavery, there's an evil tradition which continues to this day. -our islamic brothers of the north, they capture our african brothers of the south all in the name of allah, to islamicize people who look like you and me. but we muslims of america, we'll turn a blind eye to that because it doesn't fit the neat little package of white christians enslaving blacks. i finally learned that, in a sense, i was capturing people to our faith... to serve my own needs. you consider your attempts at conversion a form of enslavement? -yes, to the degree that it has helped me maintain my self-image. sometimes that degree has been a significant degree. then there's adebisi. he was a black african man who mocked and defied everything i wanted a black man to be. the spirit of adebisi did not bleed into me. -that's voodoo. that didn't make me a violent man. i am a violent man, like anyone else. failing to win him over, i got rid of him. -if we as blacks and as muslims are truly gonna fight for freedom... omar white should be allowed to be who he is... and i should be allowed to be who i am. so i thank allah for this so-called sponsorship that he has put me through. prisoner #97r492: james robson: -convicted november 7, 1997: murder in the first degree, assault: sentence: life: up for parole in 25 years. -not much of a meal there. yeah, nothing cold or crunchy. why? you on a diet? 'cause it hurts, dipshit. -do i look fat to you? god damn it! suddenly ice cream, croutons... it's like getting your gums raked. what the fuck is that? they're probably recessive. -my old man had bad gums. when's the last time you got a cleaning? i don't know, five or six years. i hate the fucking dentist. don't fuck around with your mouth. -my old man didn't deal, his mouth ended up a train wreck. if i was you, i'd see dr. faraj. you don't wanna be slurping turkey milkshakes in middle age. faraj? i don't want some sand-nigger's paws probing my mouth. -they wear gloves now, you know, since aids came along. oh. jesus, how long has it really been? well, aside from some cavities, you can see that 10 and 11 show significant recession in the gums... meaning what? -meaning that surgery is recommended, and i would say sooner rather than later. what kind of fucking surgery? well, you have two choices. the conventional method is to take tissue from the roof of your mouth and graft it to your gums. -shit. that sounds fucking painful. it is painful. the alternative is an acellular dermal graft, where we use the gum tissue from a cadaver. you're kidding. -some dead person's fucking gums in my mouth? you can think of it as an organ donation. sounds fucking creepy. well, the use of your own fucking tissue would require a longer and more painful period of fucking recovery. in the end, your fucking gums would be healthy either fucking way. -are you mocking me, faraj? fuck no. i don't like your third-world bullshit attitude. and whatever i decide, goonga, i got a thing about needles. -any anesthesia, whatever, i want gas first. my pleasure, sahib. oh, and one more thing... being that i'm aryan and you're camelshit, i'd appreciate it if you wore two pairs of those plastic gloves. you know, the less contact, the better. -so, what do you think? well, it ain't a pretty set of options, that's for sure. no shit. now you see why i hate the dentist? it's not their fault, robson. -you wait years between cleanings, you never floss. you brush your teeth the way you scratch your scrotum. i'm considering the acellular thing. all right, which one's that? it's like organ donation. -if i needed a liver, the donor would be dead, right? true, but you don't need a liver. we don't see the liver. well, he said it's like a small piece of tissue... all right, can we just... -like right here. talk about something else, please? fuck it. i'm going graveyard gums. holy shit. -oh, hey, what's up, doc? oh. hey, how's this stuff legal? you know what kind of killing you'd make selling it to all the drug-fiends in oz? i mean, they may have tits, but you've got pussy. -what is it with you nazis and gas? oh, fuck you. hey, i thought i said to wear two pairs of gloves. open wide. no, let me have some more gas. -i can feel it wearing off. you don't need more gas. open wide. you know, with all your warped ideology, i bet you never gave much thought to why adolf was so pissed off at the jews. -one theory is that he was traumatized by the death of his mother. she died of breast cancer and she was in the care of a jewish physician, so, of course, the repressed hatred erupted itself into the holocaust. now, another theory is that hitler's father was the illegitimate son of a german woman and some obscure jewish man, and so hitler himself had impure blood... hey, now, now don't make me slip, because if i do, we are both in trouble, hmm? you know, it's amazing. -we don't even know where these gums come from. i mean, this could be the gums of a kike, a spic, or even a faggot. you could be getting the beautiful gums of a big, black nigger. ? free will? -? can't seem to get our fill? ? we are beggars, we are losers? ? -drunk from lack of power? ? i believe in understanding? ? i've got to know when we're landing? -? i'm taking my survey now? ? answer if you're with me? ? -if you want free will.? morning, gentlemen. check this out. fetch. come here, chester. -come here. he fetches. that's one thing to unlearn. i told you, don't teach the dog recreational activities. you brush your teeth with that? -today's focus is on control. start walking around in this area. what the fuck was that? scared the shit out of me. i'm sorry, but your reaction's not important. -the dog's is. they have to maintain focus even in the event of loud or startling noises. so what are you gonna do, make them deaf? oh, yeah, that's a great idea: deaf dog, blind people. -you're a fucking genius. you teach the dog by standing on his leash and saying "chill." chill? chill. remember when i first started i told you about -officer rivera, you know, what i'd done to him, blinding him, and how i just wanted to do right? yeah, you're doing that. yeah, but i just want to do right by him direct. i want rivera to have julie. well, what's the man's status? -i don't know. i haven't heard from eugene in a long time. call him. have him come in. we can talk, assess his want and need of a guide-dog. -i'll try, but knowing how he feels about this place, it's a long shot. eugene, tina, it's good to see you. you... you're both looking well. i'll take your word for that. i'm alicia hinden. -i appreciate your coming in. hello. did you read the literature on the program? yes. sounds kind of interesting. -yeah... if you've got no other help. those dogs are for lonely people. eugene has me. actually, a guide-dog is not just for the person he's leading. he helps the whole family by freeing up your time. -i like helping my husband. tina, you would be helping your husband. oh yeah, like those interactions with alvarez did. look, i'm skeptical too. i worked here, remember? -i can't believe these fucks are capable of any good. i mean, who teaches these dogs? well, the one that... we've got for you, she was actually trained by miguel alvarez. are you fucking kidding? i knew that cabron was behind this. -he's doing a wonderful job. eugene, baby, please, let's go. he's personally requested we give julie to you. so, eugene, if you like, we can give her to you. i don't know. -no! no fucking way. eugene! what, you're actually considering this? he probably trained that mongrel to attack you. -no, i can assure you that that is not... come on. we're leaving. the last thing we need is favors from that motherfucker. mr. rivera, please think about it. -jesus. good girl, julie. prisoner #02m535: father daniel meehan: convicted february 9th, 2002: -destruction of private property, assault on an officer of the law: sentence: 15 years: up for parole in five. what are you in for, pops? it's santa claus. -yeah, boy! he won't last a year. don't break a hip. i'm on the bottom? you got that right. -there was an o'reily family in my last parish, st. patrick's... well, it wasn't mine. we only went to church for funerals. oh, i see. no. -you don't see dick. just 'cause i was baptized a catholic doesn't mean i got any use for a fuckin' priest. duly noted. i've cleared my schedule so i can attend cyril's trial every day. i'll be sitting right behind him in the courtroom. -mm-hmm. ryan, he's not gonna get convicted. he is not gonna get the death penalty. hi-ho, hi-ho. hey. -how you feeling, kid?

all right. doing this... let's go. -let's go. hey, toss the ball. now toss the fuckin' ball. this is about the size of your head, morales. you got style, jia, i'll give you that. -you had me fooled thinking that you were worried about li chen hurting my ma. you set me and cyril up, only... you thought your boy would waste us, not the other way around. zou kai. i got moves too, brotherman. hey, shupe. -i see they let you out of protective custody. don't start anything, o'reily. i ain't starting shit. i'm just wondering how much money jai kenmin paid you to lie about cyril to the warden. -look at me. i'm gonna give you one chance to switch your story to the truth. i... i told the truth. okay. -hey, i made something special for you. eat up. i'm not hungry. i didn't think so. glen shupe. -what about him? i need that cocksucker to have an accident. how severe? not dead, just diminished. and it can't be traced back to me. -what do i get in return? jia kenmin dies, and it can't be traced back to you. deal. sean, i need the... get out of the way! -doctor, i've got the arm. i've got the arm. the first day of trial did not go well. judge moore was in a foul mood, and the prosecutor... he's tough and smart. so you're saying we're gonna lose? -i just don't want to give any false hopes. during the jury selection, cyril got very agitated and he kept talking out loud, and the judge kept warning him to be silent. moore might eject him from the courtroom. is the judge aware of cyril's mental state? yeah, he just... he doesn't care. -i'll talk to cyril. hello, cyril. hiya. may i come in? sure. -how did it go today? lots of mumbo-jumbo. "i object," "motion to blah, blah, blah." yeah. -all those words confused you, huh? everyone seems so mean. i was asking questions, but the guy at the big desk banged the thing and yelled at me. ma was behind me, but not close enough to talk to. i brought you something. -a puppet! i want you to take this puppet with you to court every day, and when you feel the need to talk to someone, i want you to whisper to him, okay? mm-hmm. but i want you to whisper to him very softly, so no one else can hear you. -show me. sister pete wants us to be... even softer. excellent. and at the end of each day, the two of you can tell me everything you whispered to each other and i'll explain things to you, all right? -we have to give the puppet a name. good. what do you want to call him? jericho. why jericho? -'cause the walls came tumbling down. lights out. jesus, you pray a lot. well, i need a lot from my god: strength, guidance, forgiveness. -while you're at it, ask him to bring back conjugal visits. don't you ever pray? no, not since grade school. what happened? why'd you stop? -a priest tried to grope me in the confessional. oh, i am sorry. some priests get lost spiritually... whoa, whoa, whoa. father, give it a rest. -i was just kidding. look, i have a meeting tomorrow with father mukada and i was thinking... lights out means shut the fuck up. ?

count! let's go! -move it! yo, burr, i'm telling you, it must have been them sicilians that gave augustus them drugs. they mad 'cause you and morales is muscling them out of the tit game. you get me some proof. proof? -man, proof is hard to come by, yo. i need to see some proof. shit. hey, yo, chico, my man. what do you want? -yo, we got a problem, man. burr thinks that you gave hill the juice that sent him into hyperspace, and he growling for revenge. me? yeah. no, man. -yo, the sicilians probably did it. i tried to tell him, but you know burr, man. he want confirmation. so i got a solution. you got to find somebody who will say that they saw the dagos give hill the shit. -who? i don't know who, man, somebody with no... no... what you call it? no... no vested interest. excuse me. -what? what? salvatore desanto. mmm. he gave the drugs to augustus. -yeah, i... i saw the whole thing. okay. all right. see, i told you. -at dinner tonight, i want you to do me a little favor and stick this in desanto's food for me. what's this? a mind fuck. i say we whack redding. we... we tried killing redding. -he don't fuckin' die. that is bullshit, sal. anybody can fuckin' die. fuck. fuck, what's goin' on? -jesus, what's happening? my... my head is... shit. what the fuck? salvatore desanto is brain-dead, overdose of lsd. -oh, man, that's a bummer. i saw a lot of acid myself over in vietnam. that stuff's more lethal than the viet cong. it really can blow your mind. yeah. -you know, i really should have the food that desanto was eating tested. now that's a good idea. only problem is ain't no food left. my boys, they... -they ain't so good at cooking, but when it comes to the end of the day, man, they clean up that cafeteria, i'm telling you. i'll bet. mmm, spotless. the first time that i got raped by adebisi, i thought, "this was the worst thing that could ever happen." -but... i was wrong. how many men were there? three. do you know why they did it? -does the why matter? only to you. what do you want me to say, sister? peter, i don't want you to say anything. i just want you to understand that no matter what you think you may have done to bring this on yourself, you did not deserve to be raped. -those men, whoever they are, had no right to violate you. ah, all right. tomorrow. same time? no. -i don't think any of this is really helping me, sister. peter... thanks. thanks for trying. i want to find the three men who raped schibetta. -why? why, leo? why? look, we're doing everything we can to keep the number of reported rapes down. reported? -listen to you. your own daughter was raped. this is different. this is oz. rape is rape, leo. -i don't agree. here, rape has a... a leveling effect. peter schibetta, from the day he arrived, wanted to be a tough guy, wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, running things, hurting people. well, he got stopped by adebisi. -now he got stopped again. what's going on? do you have something personal against schibetta? no, no. it's simply... survival of the fittest, as natural and basic as darwin. -you and i have disagreed about a lot over the years, but this is... peter marie... "a leveling effect"? you want rape to do your job? you see this medal? -st. dismas. he's the patron saint of prisoners. al capone gave this to my grandfather in the '20s. i didn't know al capone was religious. he wasn't. -he just liked to hedge his bets. dr. nathan, i keep feeling worse and worse. i know. i haven't prayed since the fifth grade. -i've forgotten how. me too. hola. hola yourself. well, you're in a mood. -oh, i am frustrated. i'm dealing with peter schibetta and taking these little baby steps, and then this morning he tells me he's done with therapy. maybe you should have him talk to some other guy who's been raped. yeah, yeah, i was thinking about that. listen, are you aware of any trouble between leo and peter? -no. why? never mind. i'm just having one of those days filled with massive confusion. i'm having a day myself. -chucky pancamo came in with a stab wound and caught a staph infection. oh. yeah, he's sinking pretty fast. and you're blaming yourself. -his wound got infected on my watch. life is dangerous enough in oz without prisoners having to worry about dying due to poor medical treatment. look at us. we're complete and utter failures at our jobs. so what do we do instead? -form an all-girl band? hey, i want to ask you a favor. sure. i want you to talk to peter schibetta. okay. -only if... you teach chucky pancamo how to pray. peter. come in. oh, sit down. may i take your hand? -blessed art thou amongst women... blessed art thou amongst women... and blessed is the fruit of thy womb... and blessed is the fruit of thy womb... jesus. -jesus. holy mary, mother of god... holy mary, mother of god... pray for us sinners... pray for us sinners... now and at the hour of our death. -now and at the hour of our death. amen. ? look, i'm standing naked before you? ? -don't you want more than my sex? ? i can scream as loud as your last one? ? but i can't claim innocence? -? oh, god, could it be the weather? ? oh, god, why am i here? ? -if love isn't forever? ? and it's not the weather? ? hand me my leather.? -hoyt. oh, it's nice to see you, father. really? it's nice to see anyone. this fuckin' place is spooky. -jaz, you confessed to several murders, including jim burns. but you didn't act alone. you had help. i ain't rattin' on my friends. no, no, no, not all of them, but timmy kirk... -i killed timmy kirk. no. as hard as you tried, he survived. he's back at oz. cocksucker! -you tell the warden the truth about kirk, and he's gonna be moving in right next door. get me glynn. i want to sing. it's hoyt's version versus mine. he killed burns. -he bricked cloutier inside a wall. this is all some kind of weird revenge thing on his part. i'm innocent. you liar! ray. -ray. you will burn, kirk! take kirk back to unit b. you're the one who will burn. hey, clarence, -how are you? good. ooh, you been working out? yeah. yeah? -i can tell. hey, you're in for arson, right? yeah. yeah. you know any other arsonists? -i mean, on the outside. one or two. how'd you like a blowjob? hmm? our lady of fatima church and its rectory next door burned to the ground this evening, killing two priests. -the two priests, father john downing and father jack hurlbert, were trapped on an upper floor of the rectory. also injured was father raymond mukada, who suffered from smoke inhalation... holy shit! and is in serious condition at benchley memorial hospital. -arson is suspected as the cause. ? you creep? ? into my heart? -? and make my heart? ? burn! ? -? you sneak? ? into my mind? ? -and make my head? ? ache! ? ? -look, it's time to face the music? ? bye-bye! ? ? -don't slam the door? ? this is the last duet? ? last chance you're gonna get? -? no more harmony? ? for you and me? ? -this is the last duet? ? i'll ever do with? ? never do with? -? never ever? ? never ever, never do with you.? sir, may i speak? -sure, prag. uh, what's the latest on adam guenzel? and how's your plan working? well, i predict by the end of the week he'll be sucking my cock. yesterday i deposed jerry heekin. -who's that? he's that man who claims he saw you dump brice tibbetts in the field. he's a very credible witness. is that so? remember you said that he testified it was late at night, so... it must have been dark, no lights in the field? -yeah, well, see, he had a flashlight. he saw you... clearly. it wasn't me. look. -a lot of guys running around look like me, you know. i got a very familiar face. you know, i'm divorced. mmm. yeah. -i was married to eddie for 10 years. one day i asked him where he'd been, he goes, "barney's," just so fast, so convincingly, i knew immediately he was lying. are you calling me a liar? -every person in this country deserves a fair trial, deserves a good lawyer. i cannot be that lawyer for you. i'll call the public defender's office and find you someone else. catherine, wait a minute. i need you. -keller, this is the one time where your charms are useless. catherine... catherine! catherine! toby. -hey. look, i just... i wanted to let you know that i won't be representing keller anymore. why? what happened? -he's guilty. you know, i made a promise to myself the day i passed the bar. i said i was never gonna represent a guilty person, and i'm not gonna start now, not even for you. i understand. answer me this. -when i'd asked you if he had ever discussed these murders, you said no. yeah. i lied. keller says so many things, who knows what's true? but you believe him when he says he loves you. -yes. you do belong together. catherine. loves makes us all do strange things. you don't have to tell me that. -you have a good life. you knew the woman you raped? we used to date. we bumped into each other at this bar, did some k, started making out. next thing i knew, franklin and me had her in the park, face down in the grass. -you know, i never raped a woman i knew. adam? yeah? can i talk to you? i'm busy. -two seconds. lovebirds. you shouldn't be hanging out with those guys. instead i should be playing backgammon with you and busmalis? the bikers are schillinger's allies. -they're just being friendly with you to try and set you up. schillinger wants you. you ought to know, right, having been his prag. hey, guenzel, you and beecher goin' on a date? while you're down there, suck this cock, you faggot. -cocksucker. ride him, cowboy. a goal, goal, goal, goal. that's my man! all right. -schillinger. you made me an offer the other day that you'd help me get to see keller if i gave you the boy guenzel. yeah. is the offer still on the table? jeez, i don't know. -i'll quit sister pete. i'll come to work for you in the mailroom. i'll call the sicilians off. please. oh, okay. -i no longer want you to protect adam guenzel. after i seen what he did to you, i ain't surprised. the kid's a prick. sister. good morning. -there is something i've got to talk to you about. i've decided to quit working for you. what? well, you know, i've been doing the same job for five years and i'm... bored. -you know, i... i had no idea you were unhappy. well, i'm... i'm not unhappy. if there's... -i'm not unhappy. yeah. oh, well, all right. if you're s... sure about this. -i am. okay. when do you want to leave? today. today? -so you want to go work with the aryans? uh-huh. ever since we started these interactions, schillinger and i have been getting along real well. plus working in the mailroom allows you to see keller. -it's okay, beecher, because i agree with sister pete. you should be allowed visits. yeah, but the real problem is adam guenzel. i know you're gonna do whatever you think is best, but adam and i just haven't been getting along. i think maybe you were right when you said you wanted to transfer him out of em city. -well, he's disruptive. i thought you being friends was gonna help, but... me too. it hasn't worked out. okay. -i'm gonna ship him over to unit b. schillinger. yeah? the boy is all yours. time for you to deliver the mail. -hey there, tough guy. knock knock. keller. go away. i don't want to play today. -huh? i don't wanna fuck right now. maybe you're forgetting who's who here. you're my bitch, not the other way around. i've been bringing you little extras and in return, you've been giving me little extras. -don't poke me. fucking cunt, i don't want to see your ugly fuckin' face... god damn it! central, we got a 16, section 32. how the mighty have fallen. -fuck you, faggot. guenzel. hey, vern. the boys in em city send their regards. - shut up. hey, i was just... -god, what the fuck was...? you'll speak when you're spoken to. hey, get the fuck off me! get off of me! sir... sir, may i watch? -well, if you don't, how are you ever gonna learn? help! get the fuck off me! get the fuck off! i've got mail for keller. -he's not here. where is he? benchley memorial. in the hospital? well, what happened? -he acted up. i shut him down. keep moving, beecher. ? on days like these? -? when the rain won't fall? ? and the sky is so dry? ? -that even birds can't call? ? i can feel your tears? ? disappearing in the air? -? carried on the breeze? ? on days like these? ? -but you can't reap? ? what you don't sow? ? and you can't plant? -? in hollow ground? ? so let us fill? ? -this empty earth with hope? ? until the rains come down? ? on days like these.? -the knight and the fakir part 1: writing is dangerous what i liked most about floris, was that i had something to do. that i could do some filming. of course my aims were much higher. -i was thinking of anton wachter, the novel character by vestdijk. or multatuli, couperus or whoever. i was certainly not thinking about floris. but i thought that's available, and other things are not. so i'll just do it. -and you say: "let's go. it's time we got to the castle." again, guys. action! i thought i was a serious candidate for the job because of the navy movie that i made when i was with the marine corps. -in 1965, they wanted a 20 minute documentary about their corps because of their 300th anniversary. that was a movie that i shot... it was only 20 minutes, but i had just seen james bond movies. so i shot it in a style of suspense and adventure. the guys look really good and they're tough guys. -the national broadcasting corporation liked that. they thought if he can do fight scenes with marines he might also be able to shoot adventures with two guys on a horse. the other day i was in a department store and i saw those videos. i'd seen them before. i don't do anything about it. -i just notice it and i think 'not bad'. so i say to this lady: "that was me." and she says to me: "sindala! childhood memories!" -that was very nice. the national broadcasting corporation asked me to write a series. i thought i'd set it around 1500. you can have all kinds of interesting things, such as gunpowder. and you can add people from foreign countries. -so i picked a fakir because they can do strange things like lie on beds of nails or fast or climb ropes. quite fun. they asked me to audition for the part of sindala for the upcoming series floris and the fakir. originally, it was called floris and the fakir. it had to have something indian or middle european or something. -and he embodied all that. one of the things he asked was "can you do an imitation of a cat?" he's got him. a friend of mine taught dutch at the academy of dramatic art. i asked him if he had a germanic type. -he said he did but he graduated last year and he now works with the noorder compagnie in friesland. we were playing for schools there and we happened to walk into each other. he saw what we were doing and said you might be able to get a robin hood type role for television. i said that that was fun. when i looked at his hands, i saw that he has strong, slightly crooked sausage fingers. -i thought they can hold a sword. and when he walked away, i saw that he has short, crooked legs. like a cowboy. so that was even better. he can hold a sword and he can ride a horse. -what more can you ask for a dutch, historical series? i believe i auditioned with paul. that went alright and then carol van herwijnen who was also tested for the role he was who they wanted. and then it turned out he couldn't commit for that long. so gerard said "let's go back to rutger hauer". -at least he's the floris type. so that's what we did. i was their second choice. but i didn't care. i was happy to do it. -and that changed my life. afterwards you have to say we made the best choice possible. that's how it looks now. you can feel when something will be good. nobody needs to tell you that. -i can still see rutger arrive at the set. you could see right away that he'll be floris. do you ever write your name? that's too hard for you. better study the alphabet first. -writing is dangerous. god exists. especially for script writers. this is like a present when you're searching, with the director for locations that fit what you wrote. we found this trapdoor and used it in the episode called the copper dog. -what did you find out? the copper dog's coming. the copper dog? 1, 2, go! go, 1, 2... -don't you like it? yes, but i have to take another bite. swallow it. but can you talk while you eat? try that. -that's much more fun. there was no target audience, like these days. the only audience we were thinking of was to reach as many people as possible. don't say "this series is for children between 4 and 9". i wanted to make a series that children watch, but that the parents like too. -they can have the child in their lap and watch something together. you can't make a medieval series without any jesters. this is a fool's bauble, but a special one. you can joke with it, but you can also steal food with it. chicken again? -we've had chicken for five days. would you prefer rabbit? yes. don't you want anything? he's fasting. -what good does that do? he's gathering mental powers. mental powers? i don't believe in them. i believe in strong arms. -wait and see. they were two extremes and that was interesting. paul used what they contributed as people. jos was introverted by nature, so he was a bit hard to read. and rutger was all about action all day long. -in the morning, he'd be checking the horses, so to speak. the main character is floris, a young man who comes home after sailing under the portuguese for years. the fakir is floris' friend. he knows lots of fakir tricks. he's a magician, an alchemist, a smart guy. -did you feel your character had more substance than floris? if you have to play a not too bright character, you have to work for it. and playing the smart guy also doesn't come automatically. jos was a very mysterious and introverted person. he was hard to fathom. -we very much had our own lives. we had a working relationship. you only mentioned money and blood. they must be usurers. are you crazy? -they're doctors. doctors? what's the difference between a doctor and a usurer? i don't really know. an actor can't lie to the camera, with their body or their mind. -rutger became more prominent in the series than i'd made him on paper. what an ending when he enters that room and he stands there leaning with the sword in his hand. and you can see he's grown, compared to the beginning. talent, karma, charisma, probably. the great charisma that rutger's had all these years in movies. -the movies he made with me, blade runner and others, had his charisma in them. you couldn't avoid it, also as a director. you had to let that happen. and let him develop into the hero he is in soldier of orange, for instance. i think to myself that i've been very lucky. -the way things worked out. because i wouldn't have made it without paul. i was way too loose-limbed. he applied structure and strictness. and a bit of heroism. -he taught me not to move too much and i was a young dog, really. the knight and the fakir part 2: come, let's go! floris was the best time of my television career. and the same applies to my colleagues whom i still see often. -we'd do it all over again, today, as friends. it's a lot of fun that what you like to do, is appreciated by people. that the streets were empty. for half an hour, on sunday evening. the next day you'd see all these boys with sticks. -and with towels over their shoulders and wearing coats. that was great fun. it was innovative. in those days, it was an innovative series for young people. it was the first production with a lot of people. -the stunt team and lots of extras. and it wasn't all that well organised. i had to pick a camera man and i was thinking of peter alsemgeest but, for political reasons maybe, ton buné was suggested. they said his style was more relaxed and he uses a handheld. they probably thought it would be cheap and fast. -max appelboom didn't like that the production was taking too long. he asked me to make sure paul would hurry up a bit. at the end, we were on a terrain like this with a big tent that housed make-up, costumes, horses... we had to eat there and everything, because there was no more money. it was also caused by the sound. -it's set in the middle ages. but we'd hear mopeds, trains and agricultural machines in the background. we once calculated that, over the entire production time we spent six weeks waiting, i'm still surprised that they kept me after a couple of weeks. because we went much slower than everybody expected. -the budget was initially half a million guilders. but it turned out to be 2 million. so that's 300% over budget. i'm hungry! i'm hungry! -the frisians thought that i portrayed big pier, their national hero a bit too... sharply. it was a bit of a caricature of big pier. make-up took over an hour for me. the beard was pasted on bit by bit. i had a normal job, so i couldn't afford to grow a beard. -i had signed a contract with max appelboom for 17 shooting days. that was important because i was the deputy director of a record company. but it was so much fun and the character became interesting so it turned out to be 73 shooting days. we did it in this paddock. there's a ditch there. -there was more water in it than these days. that's where we shot the famous scene with the boat that was being lifted. you see me lift the boat on my own. but that was a trick, of course. there were ten men at the back to hold it. -and the camera in between and me. alone with the boat. it was a very heavy boat, of course. i was strong back then, but not strong enough to lift and throw that boat. improvisation has to take place within the framework that i've defined. -countess. welcome, sir floris. he comes in and knocks over my embroidery. he wasn't supposed to do that. but paul said: "that's fun. -let's use it." paul verhoeven wants that. he wants to see you do something. when paul verhoeven knows he can trust you when he knows you can do it, he gives you free reign. when i see someone do something during a rehearsal or during the third take something different... -i'll always go to them and say keep that, use it, don't get rid of it. this jump and splash were performed by the stunt team that does all the dangerous work, such as jumping dragging changing horses... with fall... these guys were good with their bodies. they were prepared to take certain risks. -most of them were bouncers in amsterdam, at night. back then, we had to fight and hit in the old fashion. bang. crack. bang. -boom. the strongest one won and the other one went to sleep. run! i wanted to make the series as dutch as possible with lots of fields and cows and the most typically dutch thing. i wanted a mill. -if you add a mill, you have to do something with it. so i thought we'd attach the scoundrels to the sail arms, at the end. the idea came from us, because it was set in the middle ages. what can you think of to punish people? without chopping off any heads or hands. -they could come off the mill later, but they had still been disgraced. i'll get you for this. maybe next time. let's go! for that stunt, you have to trust the people who check it. -you can't check it yourself. a local carpenter... because you have to be able to trust him and when he says, through his chewing tobacco... "you can hang on that. it's alright." and then you do it. -and when you go up, it feels very slow but when you come down, it's as if you're on your way to the chinese. they insisted we were insured. and we were, but not for a stunt like this one. that amounted to 2 million guilders. and it could only be insured with lloyd's. -and this man from lloyd's came and the boys were already hanging. ...and he said: "you're insured from 1:30 to 2 pm, not a minute more". i started fencing when i was around 14. and horse riding too, so they were things i really liked. it just was a lot of fun. -playing knights. yes, absolutely. on the spur of the moment, i had to get on a horse. so i jumped straight into the saddle. i was very proud of that -and i had a fight scene with two swords. i liked that too. i found that really interesting. so rutger did most of his stunts himself? that wasn't allowed. -there was a big problem with that. the sword fighting and the long distance riding... he did that, yes. and he dived into 2 meters of water at doornenburg castle. in the black bullets, he dives into the moat of doornenburg castle. which was not allowed. -diving off a high diving board was normal for me. also in shallow water, where you'd have to do a flat dive. the stuntman would just jump, you know. i thought i could make it more fun. rutger wanted to dive. -so i said "that's not possible". but rutger had made a deal with ton buné. he said: "don't tell anyone, but when we shoot the first take, i'll dive. i said: "you're kidding." and he said: "no, i'll do it." he said: "make sure it's a good shot. -i'll dive." he said: "let the camera roll." and he did a great dive into the moat. and i think there was about a metre of water in it. when i said "action" for take 1, he dived in to my big surprise. he absolutely wanted to be the hero. -and he was right. it looked much better than jumping. jumping looked dicky. the first person jumps. the person he's chasing, jumps. -it really looks... like this. if you do something better than the stuntmen, they'll admit it was good. and then you become part of them. we were the stunt guys. -what are we supposed to do? acting's his work and we do the stunts. for me, stunts were part of the role. it was about horse riding, sword fighting, jumping and dancing. that was it for me. -the lines were short and a bit stiff. clumsy. let's go on. we're going. let's go on. -i'd have a hard time if the lines weren't good or were too simple. sometimes i just couldn't say them right. we have to go! all those groups! the cinecentrum group, who provided the cameras and the sound. -and the group of hammy de beukelaer and the group of the actors and the group that came from nowhere, like me. they all became one family, sitting at one table. it was the most communist experience i've ever had. everybody worked with everybody and there were no classes. the painting's finished in so far as it's finished. -but it's now in a state in which i dare show it to you. the knight and the fakir part 3: over the top to me, floris was an excursion. as a manner of speech, because it was a very professional affair, also for me. -you're an artist or you're not. but my soul was in painting. the part of sindala was so complete that that mission was accomplished. i think you could say that. if paul verhoeven would call and offer me a part worth millions i could use that for an exhibition. -then i'd make a new excursion into acting. get him! in hindsight, i'm happy that it went this way. i thought it was great to play in floris. it taught me things i can also use in this life. -the most noticeable building in hernen is an old little castle that has been beautifully restored and is open to the public. the swans of doornenburg castle located where the rivers waal and rhine split, near nijmegen. this is the -now empty- court from floris. this is the medieval side. gelderland has such great castles. -we went through the whole country and saw everything, but it was so clear it had to be shot there. it was based on the fact that there was enough landscape and trees foresty areas, water. gelderland had most of those things. it takes relatively long before women play a role in the series. why was that? -that was just a mistake. a serious error that i made. luckily, two women did end up in the show. ada and her lady's-maid. a tournament. -he calls that a party. due to the talent of the actresses i realised later that i'd made a mistake. i should have used those women earlier and more often. it's a long time ago. 30 years is long. -i know that max appelboom was going to do that independent production and that i was supposed to meet the director. and that paul hired me on the spot. he probably immediately thought i was the right type. the best isn't good enough for you. feel this. -how soft. pure down. good, isn't it? soft, yes. and here... these chairs. -try it. well? lovely. can you sing us a bit? floris has been fighting all day so he's very tired. -and then his hand happens to fall against my hand and ada thinks... but he has fallen asleep. in those days boys and girls didn't get together as freely. holding hands was quite something. he's asleep. -he's asleep? he's asleep! what? he's asleep. sexuality in these series... -captain rob, dick bos all those cartoon style things and robin hood most of all. he has nothing in his pants. that's not possible. that's for a very different series. the same applied to floris. -it was more a first love when you're eight years old. very interesting, but no real itch. i believe i only had one episode with women. diana dobbelman and ida bons. that was about it. -it was a men's movie. it was an action movie. there's not really a romantic storyline. surrender. have mercy. -your lordships. i beg you. have mercy upon a poor robber. what a coward. promise you'll never do it again. -never again. we were fairly liberated for the middle ages. teaching those men a lesson in men's clothing. paul verhoeven was interested in physical violence. and that was all there was in the middle ages. -he loved to show that. i always like violence. better be clear about it again. i don't understand what's so despicable about violence. i don't understand why people have such a problem with it. -the world's full of violence. paul was and turned out to be a great director. he was a mathematician. he knew exactly what he wanted. he was not so much an actor's director. -he didn't discuss the character with you. for him, technique was most important. i though the series was fairly clean. i remember i had a very big sword. i never hit anybody with it. -after we had made three episodes, i got a call from a well-known journalist. he asked me what i thought about the violence in the series. i said "which violence? it's for children. there is no violence." -he said he found it very violent. i asked him if his grandma ever talked him to sleep. about the wolf and the seven young kids. the belly's cut open and little goats come out and all that stuff. that's violent. -nice and sharp. put him in. it's hard to believe that that's all possible. in those days, it was really new. someone might get a thumb screw put on maybe. -but it was always quickly put into perspective. so children would think "oh, alright". what you also see in the walt disney movie. where you think the children won't be able to sleep. but soon after it's solved. -and they're over it. open it. what? is he dead? he's just sleeping. -i was raised with grisliness. and the greatness of imagination is much more radical in all its forms than this whining that it's too grisly for some people. it's the only place where you can do it. you don't have to love it. that's another matter. -the fighting's quite sweet. nothing bad happens to the people. it's all... it's not very realistic. it's incredibly over the top. -it's a cartoon. oldenstein! oldenstein! violence is part of life. and i thought it could also be present in this series, to a degree. -i really enjoyed tying reinbout to the wheel. where is the seal? that was the worst bit, i think. people minded that the most. that he was being stretched. -where is the seal? it's clearly exaggerated and done in an over the top way. so it's not realistic, but it shows that they're mean. that they're mean bastards who need to be punished badly by floris. there are plans for a new floris in the netherlands. -would you be prepared to play the part of the old floris? if there's any sword fighting going on, i'll enjoy it. i like to use a sword. it would be great and nice to work with rutger again. but i don't know. -i haven't heard anything about it. they haven't asked me yet. if you really want to make floris in high quality and with a new cast, of course... maybe rutger can play floris' father then you'd need a lot more money. you'd have to compare it to fanfan la tulipe or the three musketeers or something similar. -you'd have to think along those lines. you're not talking 5 million dollars, but 50 million dollars. it's easy to say you want to do another blade runner or hitcher or ladyhawke or floris, because you know what it is. but it's hard to make. let them do it. -, i said. 'surely, you must be one of them, the way you speak gives you away,' said someone else. and again, i said, 'l do not know the man! ' and when he died? -none of us was there to be with him. save one. and that one was john. we are not jesus. we are only men. -but, believe in him and we are forgiven. isn't that the great gift? in galilee once, i asked him, 'lord, how many times am i to forgive my brother if he goes on wronging me? as much as seven times seven? -' jesus replied, 'l do not say seven times; i say seventy times seven.' show me galilee. i told jesus once, -'master, we've fished all night and taken nothing.' 'put out into deep water,' he said, 'and let down your nets for a catch! we made so great a haul that night, our nets began to split, and we loaded our boats until they almost sank. 'henceforth, you shall catch men,' he said. -that was his mission to you? i send you out like sheep among wolves,' he told us. to heal the sick, bring to life the dead of spirit, cleanse the lepers, cast out the devils.' 'be wary as serpents, yet innocent as doves.' that is my mission, also. -after his death, he came to us once again by the sea of tiberias. quite alone to me, he said, 'peter, i tell you this in very truth: when you were young, you fastened your belt around you and walked where you chose; -but when you are old, you will stretch out your arms and a stranger will bind you fast and take you where you have no wish to go.' can you go there with me? i'll wait for you there. james... you honor my house. there are assassins waiting for you in jerusalem. -where did you hear of this? there was a messenger, from the temple. there's an uproar over your preaching against the law. then he'll stay here. they'll find him here. -we'll hide him. to what end? to the end that there will be no end if we don't stand up against them. you are thinking with your pride, not your head! the man steps forward as only one of us has done, as stephen did! -and what was that result. ahh, is there's something else. it is clear that peter has accepted you. as barnabas has. others are not so certain. -i accuse them of jealousy! i accuse john of not being forceful! you, of being timid...! i am for one thing only -- the survival of the church. you didn't build the church! -nor were you in jerusalem with jesus! that's true. i wasn't. but you commissioned me to lead, you and the others. i didn't ask for it. -i was asked to assume it when none of you would do so. his sacrifice has been greater than any one of us! his sacrifice is nothing if the temple is goaded to violence and the romans close in! they'll send chosen troops and we'll be crushed in the middle! -he cannot remain here. you must leave judea! home to tarsus. i should feel happy, but, i feel nothing. we'll send for you. -find work for you. you'll receive letters and instructions. messengers will come. i wont' be idle. i'll cast my net into deeper waters. -he spoke to me, and i with him. we spoke of many things. what did you talk about? we talked about you. ah, you never did. -for fifteen days that he was here i felt...renewed. do you know what i mean? tell me. as though a ceiling were lifted and there was fresh air. he's really affected you. -afflicted me. with all that's gone before and we committed to do and do not. words. i am afflicted with words. words are what the master gave you. -t o act upon. i do not act. 'you are my rock,' he said to me. james leads. james... -i honor james, he does not lead! he prays... behind closed doors and shuttered windows. only one, this one, this saul, stands fast in the open, and we send him away! i fear... it could end in words. -just words... behind closed doors. 'for men will flog you for my sake... all will hate you for your allegiance to me; but the man who holds on to the end will be saved...' a better place for tents than jerusalem. saul, it's me. -along while, hey? yes, eight years. as long as that. well, they were eight difficult years i can tell you. not once have i heard from jerusalem-- by letter, by messenger or by word of mouth, not once. -i've been abandoned. y es, i've been abandoned, barnabas. you will understand, therefore, if i am not overjoyed by your visit. but, i am. besides, i don't come from jerusalem. -why are you here? for the fish. so, you continue to preach declaring your new views? yes. in synagogues? -yes, until i was driven out. and then... i spoke where i could, in the streets. this is your birth place, isn't it? what of your father? -he mourns me as if i were dead. tell me, who are they who listen to you in the streets? greeks. it's a greek city, t arsus. greeks? -but, they are gentiles, heathens. yes, with a concept of religion. based on ignorance and superstition. jesus said, 'make my name known to gentiles and kings...' you're testing me, barnabas. -of course i am as i test myself all the time, believe me. now listen... i'd heard what you've been doing. that's why i'm here. now, in antioch, you see, some greek-speaking jews, such as myself, have started to preach directly to the greeks, like you. -and we need help. i thought of you. will you come? where, to antioch? yes, we could leave in a few days. -we could leave tonight if you'd like. oh, good. what's happening in jerusalem, where's peter? you haven't heard? no. -i thought you knew. what? jerusalem is starving. the first order of business in antioch will be to raise some money for our people there. y es, jerusalem is starving. -your esteem... save your reverence. i was almost set upon coming out of the temple. the situation is desperate... you understand it wonderfully well. -starvation is upon the city... starvation is upon world! you answer for jerusalem. you rule judea. i am king, not high priest. -you rule the house of god, not i. is this not a godly choice? i am for myself and these good men, certainly not the object of god's wrath. we uphold and protect the law. our lives are given over to the law. -we are creatures of rome, you and i. we rule so long as rome is satisfied. my king, we are jews...! yes, we are jews! but not as they are jews. -there is something in their character which awes me. they are for israel with a passion for independence, even as they break apart from each other -- sadducees, essenes, pharisees. in time enough, they'll unite against the caesars... but not in my time. the law... meanwhile. -the law controls them, as long as there is control. we are holy men, my king. we can do nothing but conform to the law... then give them someone other than ourselves to cry out against. listen to them! -might not the fault lie with this jesus sect... yes, they rebel and reject and thereby bring god's wrath on all of us! is it not written in the psalms: 'see how the eye of god is on those who rely on his love...' '... to rescue their souls from death and keep them alive in famine.' -'as for the wicked... they shall perish, these enemies of god.' so it is written. james! this one's for tomorrow. keep him upright. -these people like to kneel. dramatic music put it with the rest, we'll store it later. how'd you get it past the guards? they are starving, too. -that's the last of it. ask who it is. who is there? (outside door) peter. it's peter. -the girl's mad, he's in prison. of course, lets hide the food. peter, peter... how did you escape? the lord delivered me... it's true. but listen, you must leave quickly. -i'll give you water. no, there's no time. a house-to-house search is certain. where will you go? to galilee. -there will be refugees. i'll join you. i'll go, too! no mark! i won't be left behind! -he'll come with me, to antioch. tell them all i'm safe. yes, there was a time when you were dead. there was a time when you were dead to your sins and to your wickedness, when you followed the evil ways. now, i say to you, -remember that former condition -- you, gentiles, you, 'the uncircumcised,' so called by those who are called 'the circumcised' remember your former condition. barnabas, it's good to see you. barnabas has just returned from jerusalem. yes, remember your former condition. -because at that time you were separate from god. your world was a world without hope. but now in blessed union with christ jesus... both gentile and jews, he has made the two one. the god of peace be with you all. thank you. -the god of peace be with you all. barnabas... it's good to see you back. welcome back. it's good to see you. who is this? -mark. mark? not the little mark i met eight years ago eight years. it's good to see you... mark. -yes, you're right. these greeks they do think and they do stimulate argument and they provoke debate... thinking. it's good to see you. he grew up. ah, yes, we have a new word by which to describe ourselves -christians - meaning partisans of christ. it's a word the romans use in jest. so be it. christians. what's wrong? -we do nothing in jerusalem! we hide and then run! there was no choice left to us. it was all we could do. then my teachers are not what they've educated me to be! -when do you stand up to someone? when it's too late? you're wrong. i'm right, you know i'm right. you're wrong. -he's right, of course. and he's been through a terrible time. we all have. john's brother, james, has been killed. how? -executed by herod agrippa, beheaded. where's peter! no, no. he had fled jerusalem for galilee. they have all fled they had to. -to avoid persecution. i can tell you, our church of jesus christ is in disarray. cry for jerusalem. when you took food and money to them in jerusalem, barnabas, i gloated over it. -yes, i wanted revenge on those who left me unsummoned in tarsus all those years. peter and james and... yes, i wanted revenge. eight years i waited... eight years. i know it was wrong and everyday i ask god's forgiveness. god has his plan. -i would not be here now, would i if i had done god's bidding, would i? you say that our church in jerusalem is in disarray? it is. it seems to be dying, barnabas. it seems to be dying. -he has no wish to see our church perish i'm sure of that. who? god. but, it is perishing. -it is perishing in our hands it is perishing. he said, "bring my name before the nations and their kings," that what he said. which nations, what kings? i mean... our church... where would you go with it? -where would i go with it? to the west. out of judea? why yes, antioch is out of judea, isn't it. antioch has been approved by jerusalem, coming here to antioch was a mission close to home. -yes, well, now the mission must become a movement, barnabas. it must become a movement. it has to become a living, movement, barnabas. otherwise, believe me, it will surely die. well, yes, i suppose we could go to cyprus. -cyprus, yes... yes, i know it well, it is my home. i started training there. yes. we'd land at salamis on the east coast and travel across the islands to the synagogues of soli. -yes, cyprus first. you'd go further? well, yes, not just stop in cyprus. where? where? -i don't know... i don't know... to pamphylia, pisidia, asia, yes, asia. yes, yes, i see, i see... a mission to preach to the whole heathen world, is that it? -yes, yes! he said bring my names before the gentiles and before their kings. do you remember? yes...yes... well, i'll write to james and ask what he thinks. -if you need james' permission, you better write james then. i have my commission. it comes from no man. i know...and paul we will do it. we will penetrate the greek cities one after the other. -mark will come with us. yes, well, i'm not so sure about mark. oh, oh... i ask forgiveness for his rudeness. it's not his rudeness that disturbs me. -there'll be hardship and they'll be danger, barnabas, when we do it. yes, i know, he's become a man, don't forget. and he knows no fear. (mark)... then one of the lawyers, who had been listening to these discussions, came forward and asked him, -'which commandment is first of all? 'hear, o israel, the lord is our god...the lord is one. '... love the lord your god with all your heart, with all your mind and all your soul...' '...with all your strength...' pisidian bandits attacked us, six hours out... -we fought as we could. it was useless. they killed six of us, they took the young men to be sold as slaves. what's that? ! -animal... i heard nothing... what kind of animal? an animal. i know we haven't done well here, but... -we're not discouraged, are we? what are we then? in difficulty, perhaps. but not in despair. we're sick, and tired, and hungry... -but we're never deserted. you say that sitting there with fever... we rejoice in our sufferings... rejoice...? ...knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance brings proof that we have stood the test, and that is ground for hope. -he's raving! we failed here. no one listens to us... mark, we are deputies of christ. we are shipwrecked here, the word of christ is shipwrecked on the coast of pamphylia. -then we shall take his word to pisidia. through the hills? into those mountains? that is no journey for a sick man. the roads are thick with bandits. -they kill the old men and sell the young ones into slavery. we leave tomorrow. you go, not me! mark! three men alone? -your duty is obedience. to this madman? you are needed, have courage, don't despair. i want to go home! then go home, we have no pact with each other. -go home. are you well? hey, don't worry my little friend, we'll soon have you home... in jerusalem. there are plenty. it was a good catch. -peter... two weeks and nothing from you. we almost said kaddish. what news from jerusalem? herod agrippa is dead. -when? a month ago. good news. eaten by worms, they say..... better news. -mark was there. he's with me. he brings news that saul and barnabas have left antioch. they've gone into asia, making for greece. the last i saw -barnabas and paul walking into the hills. barnabas and paul? he no longer calls himself saul. he refers to himself by his roman name. what of saul? -he threw off his hebrew inheritance? let him sever what ties he will! who has directed him to go to the gentiles? directed him? he's to come to us? -he owes us nothing! you wish to see him humbled? i wish see him humble. god has a plan. paul is confident of that. -the facts are these he is where we should be and are not! with the gentiles? ! you think jesus meant salvation for the jews alone? jesus meant salvation for all men... -in time! what is the man saying? that we are cornered by our own success. our jerusalem church... is made of jews, not gentiles! -you agreed salvation is for all men. in time, peter, in time! the time is now. paul's seen to that. my brothers, you who come of the stock of abraham, and others among you who revere our god, we are the people to whom the message of this salvation has been entrusted. -but, the people of jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize him or did not understand the words of the prophets which are read sabbath by sabbath. indeed, they fulfilled them by rejecting him. and when they carried out all the scriptures said about him, they cut him down from the gibbet and laid him in a tomb! but,god raised him from the dead, and there was a period of many days when he appeared to them to those same people who would come up with him from galilee to jerusalem. those same men who now bear witness before our people before our nation... -and we, my good friend barnabas and i, come to bring you the good news that god who had made the promise to the fathers has fulfilled the promise to the children by raising jesus from the dead. and this stands as written in the second psalms. this man... this man who rose up from the dead! i would like to see this man! -open your heart and you will see him! the messiah? the jews have a parable about that. they say if you are planting a tree, and someone comes and says, 'quick, come running, see the messiah,' you're suppose to first finish planting the tree. -there's also another saying of the jews. a proclamation of their own prophets: 'see this man, you scoffers, and begone; for i am doing a deed in your days, a deed which you will never believe when you are told of it.' this man is a forger! -he counterfeits this jesus! it is written if a man is put to death for some crime and his body is hung on a post he brings god's curse on the land! ' it was necessary that the word of god should first be declared to the jews. and it was providence that i found you here in pisidia. -but since you do not accept it... we turn to the gentiles. for these are our instructions from the lord: 'l have appointed you to be a light for the gentiles and a means of salvation to earth's farthest bounds! our men marrying heathen women? -what of your daughters? where do they find husbands when jewish men marry elsewhere? our food is low, we are run out of one city after another stones thrown at us... you seem to like those stones, i don't. we could get down to the sea and make passage back to antioch. y es, yes, that is on my mind. -i know jesus said, 'lf you are persecuted in one town, take refuge in another.' but what can it be for us but the same in the next town. please, don't lets go on to lystra. it's time to go home. hmm? -oh well, let's pray tonight the stones are softer in lystra. the scripture says that everyone who believes in him will be saved from shame... everyone. but there is no distinction between greek and jew... there is no distinction. the same lord is the lord of all. and he has abundance of riches to give to anyone who invokes him. -for we are his offspring, we are his children. so mark my words. i, paul, say to you that faith becomes supreme of all human acts! faith in jesus christ, whose death has brought redemption from sin in all aspects for those who believe! who among you believes in him? -who has faith enough to believe? anyone who has faith... raise your hand. yes you.. you've raised your hand. yes. can you stand? -do you have magical powers? then why are you not standing, huh? can you stand? no, your faith alone can heal you. stand. -take only my hand. now stand. what do they say? they say we are hermes and zeus - gods from olympus! what are you doing? -what are you doing? we are only men we're not god. paul listen... paul they want us to stay. they know we're only men, not gods. -but, they want us to stay. they want us to stay. say nothing... say nothing and be still... let them pass... they are centurians... -cousin barnabas. mark! well, you look fit. i am. what about you? -where did you come from? from paul. in antioch. antioch? how's your mother? -well. and the others? returned to jerusalem with the end of the purges... but this... there's great unrest and growing worse. -rome's done with jews ruling jews. it's going to end badly. well... i'll go along to your mother's. see you later, i imagine. -i should have stayed with you in perga, we should have stayed together. i let you down, did you great harm. how stupid of my innocence, paul knew what i was... filled with self-righteousness, and too frightened to go along. i wanted to escape, i ran away. -forgive me. i was wrong. thank you, my boy. where is james? i'll take you to him. -we have great news. success in galatia! i must discuss it with james and the council at once. galatia is won! ( music ) -where's barnabas? his ship is anchored, isn't it. he has arrived. yes, i know he has arrived. where is he? -we're waiting to greet him. he will not come. what? well, did james receive you? yes. -open-heartedly. there were some others i had never seen before and didn't care for too much, but, yes, he received me. what do they say about our accomplishments? they say we flood our church with pagans. that our gentile christians are uncircumcised, unparticular about the foods they eat, they do not understand the law nor the ceremony, that's what they say. -and they reject your concept of salvation through faith alone. they call it a boast. a boast? ... i don't boast of anything but the cross of christ! -i did protest, i battled... so they grant the greeks nothing, is that it? nothing? i understand. so, i'll shall go to jerusalem myself. -it was their final word. i reject their word! barnabas! barnabas i'm going to jerusalem. i promise to be reasonable, i shall be so reasonable. -but, i'm going to jerusalem. welcome! i thank you for letting me appear before you. first, i would like to make my companions known to you. this is titus. -he is the galatian from the western end of the empire. most of you know my good friend, barnabas. i have come to jerusalem from antioch to lay before you the gospel which i am accustomed to preach to the gentiles, and to make sure that the race i have run, and am running, should not be in vain. christian faith stands on its own and should not require dependence on the law. and i have come to this after agonizing experience. -but, our success in winning over greeks out in the roman west is clearly evidenced by the case of titus, who has been redeemed by faith in christ. there was a time, yes, there was a time... i grant you, there was a time when the law was a kind of tutor in charge of us until christ should come; but now that the tutor charge is at an end! please, please, let him finish here and speak... -you would require no circumcision of these heathens? to require circumcision of the greeks will of itself make our movement just another sect of judaism! how can you say that? because you want to keep it for yourselves! but, jesus said, -"extend it freely to others- give it away." we are the chosen people! clear the hall! clear the hall! we'll meet with them in private. -we stay! it is our right. i have promised this man that he could plead his case. let him plead it. we remain! -the two of you? silas as well. agreed. continue... why is he here? -he is to be circumcised if he is to mix with those of us that live by the law! don't you understand yet that when one receives christ... they must first become jews! we have no more right or privilege in this religion than greeks or barbarians! do any of you believe this man? -'go and make disciples of all nations,' christ said. no nation's people have advantage or priority in it. it is for men and women. it is for slaves and free men, greeks and jews alike! -the law is the full expression of god's will! don't you see that you are trying to effect a monopoly of the grace of god so that men will have to come to you to obtain it! and, i say to you, "who are you?" or any of us here to sit in judgment? could we not find some compromise? -y es, i say preserve the laws but do not impose them on the gentiles. our traditions are binding. indeed, and they make it totally impossible for jews to mix with gentiles. and, further, i suggest that any person who tries to impose these rituals, laws on the gentiles is acting falsely and perhaps has no business being in our church. we heard enough. -god made no difference between the gentiles and us. it is by the grace of lord jesus alone that we are saved and so they are. why do you now provoke god by laying on the shoulders of these converts a yoke which they should not be made to bear? we have sat with the greek in violation of our customs. -let him be circumcised in recognition. it is a small concession. no! then you are no part of this! i disagree! -he has earned his part in this! it is my judgment, therefore, that we impose no restrictions on these gentiles who are turning to god. i... thirteen years... since we said farewell. -i said then... i promised i wouldn't be idle. you return now to antioch? yes. to your greeks. -to my greeks. what are they like, these greeks? noble and tranquil. 'the fair and immortal children of the mind,' thus said plato. noble and tranquil... -i should like to meet such people. well, come back with me. you showed me your christian heritage. i'll show you my greeks. to antioch? -yes. why not? the good lord knows i could use some tranquillity. music this food is a thief - it'll steal two nights sleep from me. -eat. how can you see such suffering. resign yourself. we'll take care of your widow. it's a miracle. -their table is your table, enjoy! i embrace you all my brothers! peter, would you let us use your name? my name? why my name? -this summer, if it is possible will you return with me to galatia? why me? you? you're peter, you were with jesus. don't you know what you mean to these people? -i am a poor replacement. now look, not only the galatians but we could win the whole of asia with your name. the thought of such a journey... i have a taste for it. why shouldn't i? -you will? good! paul! brothers have arrived from jerusalem. there is a message from james. -'lt is the decision of the holy spirit, and our decision, that our greek believers must avoid what has been sacrificed to idols, avoid tasting the blood and meat of animals that have been strangled, and immorality. if kept free of such violations, they will be acceptable to the church. this is from james? he's totally contradicted himself! rethought himself. -his pledge to me was that there should be no requirement of these people, only faith. it is his command... there are ten commandments and i don't recall one of them being james'! silas, as a respected man, a prophet and a teacher, tell me, why does james send this? the letter was devised upon much prayer... -prayer...prayer did not change him, they did! james, not you, have been entrusted with the care of souls. you see they bend james to their will! the name in my heart is with these gentiles. good, then let's end this conversation here and now. -on the other hand, we cannot throw off all that's gone before in our lives anymore than we can shed our own skin. what? we've pledged to these greeks full standing in the church, without rules, without laws... what has james asked that you find so unreasonable... that they accept some few requirements. a few requirements? -any requirement betrays a conviction that faith is not enough! you are not the center of the church, jerusalem is! i will not go against james! peter, not long ago, you said that no yoke should be laid upon the shoulders of these converts... in your own words! -you're like a straw blowing in the wind! would you end our friendship over this? can't there be compromise on some basis? no, listen... listen to me. -before these people came from james, you ate with the heathen, you ate what they ate. now you're drawing back. i mean can't you see your own conduct condemns you. that you are like... is that your answer. -you're like a straw blowing in the wind... like a straw... you're like a straw... paul, i... yes... -i know what you've been through and what you have achieved. but... we should return to galatia as soon as possible. galatia? yes, as soon as possible. -very well... i think i'll ask mark to join us, we will... no, i remember his last performance. we'll give him another chance. no! paul, be reasonable. -barnabas, he's unreliable, he's not to be trusted! no! no! no! perhaps it's better then that i revisit our churches in cyprus with mark. -good! you can go on to galatia without me. excellent plan. god speed. i'll shall miss you. -what do you want? consider me for your journey. you're one of james' messengers. that mission is accomplished. if you will have me on yours, i want to come. -he chills, then follows with fever... silas? we have the physician... the vision is still with me a vision came to him, in his delirium. -it's not the delirium! it was a dream... no, not a dream! a man stood before me, a macedonian. appeared before me and defuse me saying -'come across to macedonia and help us! ' can anything be done? these chills. they started when he came down from the highlands? -yes. i know of your work in galatia. i've been following it here, in troas. a physician? a wandering physician. -from macedonia. macedonia? what is your name? my given name is luke. luke, silas you already know, -timothy joined us at lystra... tell me luke, i want to know... can the word be taken across the aegean, into europe? well, people have crossed the sea with new religion before. i've seen them. heavy footed. what brains they have they left on this side of the sea. -you think it's nonsense? it may be no place for your miracles. miracles? it has been said that you claim this jesus of yours, has spoken to you. yes. -he talks to you. as i talk to you now? yes. the greeks of galatia accepted him. i'm one of them. -but in europe you will encounter a different kind of greek. more worldly, cynical, corrupt. further, you will encounter the full might of roman authority... with a new kind of religion... where new religions are forbidden. it will not be the same. it will be a step toward rome itself. -the prospects are enormous aren't they? i'll arrange passage for the three of us, to phillippi. ...four. well, phillippi is my home and i would know more of a man... who would challenge the rome empire. two customers since yesterday. -does the man never tire... never relieve himself? soon he must drown in his own words. (daphne's voice) yes, master. what you say will come to pass. good sir! -hold for a moment and consider me...! for the small price of five tetradrachma, i will deliver you an earthquake of happiness! come closer, sir... it speaks... -such are some of its powers. i am daphne, and i have much to whisper in your ear. to flourish with the women of asia takes more than a strong back, sir. you need this god with you. midday and not a sale. -it's possible you will not eat tonight. yes, master. each day he speaks, the crowd grows larger. go! listen to him. -tell me what he's selling. yes, master. believe in him and you are free. have done with spite and passion, have done with all angry shouting and cursing, and all bad feeling of every kind. have done with it... have done with it... (whispers) have done with it. -friends, if you will let brother paul, rest for a while. he will speak to you again. the god of peace be with you all. look at them. i love these greeks. -they're great talkers, aren't they? more have arrive. the others won't leave. it's obvious they've spread the word. can you go on? -y es! idols! heathen idols! yeah, you think you are so wise, don't you? yet you make fools of yourselves. -how? by exchanging the splendor and power of a immortal god for images carved in the likeness of mortal men and women... even carved in the image of beasts and birds and creepy things. this man says he is a servant of the great high god? he says he is here to show us the way to salvation? but i am the splendor of immortal god! -what are you doing? nothing, sir. what is this gift of yours? what gift? what is your gift child? -none, sir. you're not speaking the truth, are you? i've been watching you. you've been making these images, these idols seem to talk by throwing your voice into them. and now this poor dumb animal... -in order to make money for you master. god will want an accounting of you. you hear that? you will not speak in two voices again. you will not speak in two voices again. -what are their crimes? agitators. your hands come off if they escape. you understand? huh? -no, let them dry. they'll heal faster. how can you bear this? so far, i haven't been tested beyond what i can endure. when that test comes? -shut-up. let a man sleep. jailer! jailer, we're over here! thank you. -thank you. you have been released. what detains you? our trial. you are free. -why do you ask for a trial? why, we have been unjustly beaten. you question our justice? yes i do as a citizen of rome! you...? -a roman citizen? yes. born saul paulus of tarsus! a roman citizen, exempt from whipping. and as such privileged to trial before any punishment and also with privilege of direct appeal to the emperor himself. -escort them from the city. no...you don't understand. we are responsible members of society, are we not? with a regard for our good names. no my friend, we shall remain here until we receive public apology. -you have my regrets. but you will leave phillippi. there are those who might think you brought the earthquake upon them through this god of yours. i could not protect you. nor your friends. -nor those who listen to you. you won't come with us? t o where? aslonica, athens. our work has only just begun. -you save the souls, i'll heal the bodies. i know there's something more. i just don't understand it. just don't talk to any more donkeys. -i beg you to listen...! i listen! paul has totally defied our edicts sent to antioch, ignoring even the barest respect for the rites we requested! further, he has crossed into europe, without consulting us.. where he has not only preached to the heathen without regard for the law, he fails! -he has established churches... which will crumble! he encounters roman authority wherever he goes! he's expelled with scorn and derision from one city after another. philippi, thessalonica, berea... and now to the athens, where he must meet more of the same. -you back me to the wall! as he does with us! let there not be a split among us.. the split is made! paul makes it with his... -'postulations of supremacy'! what do you want of me? what do you want? we are leaving for galatia, following in paul's footsteps... to call upon the galatian to conform to the laws of moses... to give up paul's improper claim of salvation through faith alone. -we ask that you go with us. christianity preserved for those of us who are the heirs of abraham... or for the heathen. once and forever. with or without you, peter, we're going. don't threaten me. -i don't know what i'm going to do, but don't threaten me...! men of athens... from every point of view, i see that you are religious... for as i was going about and looking at the things you worship, i found an altar with the inscription upon it: 'to an unknown god.' -so it is already that you worship in ignorance what i now proclaim. for god, who created the world and all that is in it, since he is the lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples built by human hands as though he were in need of anything. for he himself gives all men life and breath and everything. it is through union with him that we live and move and have our being. as some of your reknown poets have said: -'for we are his offspring.' now if we are god's children, why should we imagine that the divine nature is like gold or like silver or like stone, wrought by human art or thought... you ask us permission to preach your doctrine in athens. y es. but we must understand what it is that you are proclaiming. -we have the impression this jesus you speak of is a new deity. what does it call for? that men everywhere repent... for god has fixed a day on which he shall justly judge the world through jesus, whom he has appointed and of this he's given assurance to all men by raising jesus from the dead. perhaps we will hear you on this subject some other time. who are they, the lords of life in this place? -they were confused... they laughed at him. didn't you hear? well, others have listened... we've set up churches wherever we've been: -thessalonica, berea... yes, but do they still exist? that's what i want to know. we could write to them. no. -no, i want you to go back... the two of you. i want you to go back to thessolonica, berea, and to philippi. philippi? yes. -where do you go? corinth. corinth! ? look, i know you want to be martyred.... but i'm sorry, that is what will happen. -now paul, they say the stench of that city cannot rise through the cloud of filth and corruption that surrounds it. you cannot go to corinth. silas. i want to know. does the church stand, or is it fallen? -is it in the open or are they hiding in fear? or is anything left of it at all. i have to know. now, you owe me nothing, either of you. choose for yourselves. -only one way to heaven? i'll show you fifty. show us the jesus trick? please...! get him away from those people! -he takes them off our hands. come on. clear a way here! come on, get away! let go of this man! -get moving. go on! come on... i said, get out of here. go on, let's move! -keep moving. go on all of you! move! you can't preach in the streets here...! this is corinth, not athens! -i preach where there are people to hear me! that rabble? they'll hear you from the end of a rope...! good. then that shall be my alter! -which is more than i'm afforded any where else in this city! thank you. you must eat. i have no forum for my ministry! i am denied the synagogue...! -the elders fear you're a threat to their control, you know that... when has god appointed men to 'control' the faith of other men? it is a free gift! i shall have to speak in the streets if that's what's left to me. there is a convert here in corinth. -he owns a hall where you could continue your meetings. i'll speak to him. why haven't we heard from silas and timothy? we will. everywhere we went they listened to me, they came to hear me... but time was always so short. -it's not duration that matters... perhaps i'm not the man, prisilla. perhaps i'm not the man. i've taken christ's work across boundaries not yet ready to be crossed, too little fortified? who knows, who knows? -perhaps my stubbornness, my pride and my ambition, perhaps they have stopped my ears to the wiser counsel of other men? patience... it's not one of my virtue. well, god would overlook that. i'm harsh, i'm argumentative, i'm too quick to anger. -if only i could speak to people in love... paul, my dear friend... but it is strange, here i have faith strong enough to move mountains. if i have no love to give to my fellow man, all the rest is nothing. no love? -all that you are is love. you bring men the way to love. what do they have left when i'm gone? when i've been chased away from their cities? what are they left with? -i can't go on filling people with false hopes and promises and dreams. promises i can't sustain. i can't do that. perhaps i should let stronger men try. let other men challenge rome. -(paul thinking) love is patient; iove is kind and envies no one... never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offense. love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over another man's sins, but delights in the truth. -paul! paul, wonderful news! macedonia has stood firm! they are not shaken! the thessalonians never doubted your message. -they've come through some hard times... but all opposition against them failed! the churches hold fast! john...? who's this with you, peter? -not mark. look, there're calluses on his hands. i suffer for others. as every man should. scrape her down. -you've helped him a lot. i can see the difference. i'm not finished with him yet. i'm taking him with me. good, then. -when do you leave for jerusalem? i've been sent to ask you. i'm not... i have a mission elsewhere. where? -babylon. babylon? there's little there but ruins. babylon? why...? -because i am a simple man who wishes to raise himself a few feet from the dust! i don't know what he's saying. he eats at himself... but why? now, what is it? -go home. i am home. i was born in capernaum, just as you. there is much that makes us different. both of us fisherman, united in faith. -you fulfilled your mission to jesus. i failed in mine. peter you are rash one minute, uncertain the next! exact, then confused! enthusiastic, sad! -was there ever a man of such aggravating contradiction...! i have fought my life to overcome my temper, i have... but you test it! it all goes so well! troubles in jerusalem, yes, some. but elsewhere -- -paul's triumphs in macedonia and now all greece... jesus said, 'you are peter the rock. and i will build my church on this rock.' and it is done... by others, not me. -you only? we were all of us called! 'peter, to whom i give the keys of the kingdom! ' that was his commission to me. -i failed him and he chose another who succeeds. then that's it. i do not speak in envy... yes, envy, but not resentment. i pray for paul. -he is power and genius. i have missed my time. you stand alone in that opinion. where is he now? still in corinth? -on his way to galatia, at last report, filled with searing anger at the attacks made there against him. he blames us. he takes his case to the people. as i will do. in babylon. -these men of repute... they acknowledged that i had been entrusted with the gospel for the gentiles as surely as peter has been entrusted with the gospel for the jews. oh yes! these so-call 'pillars' of our society, of our church - james, peter and john -- they accepted barnabas and myself as partners and they shook hands upon it, believe you me...! -are you people in galatia mad? the persons i am refering to are envious of you, but not with honest envy. what they really want is to bar the door to you so that you will come to envy them...! why... why? you were running so well. -you were running so well. who was it that prevented you from following the truth? whatever persuasion he used... this man who is unsettling you minds... believe me, he shall bear god's judgment. if we are in union with christ jesus, circumcision makes no difference at all. as for these agitators, they had better go the whole way and make eunuchs of themselves! -luke? did i startle you? not at all. not at all! come in. -come in! how long has it been? two years? time barely keeps pace with you. all the reports of your work: -macedonia, corinth, through galatia again, ephesus... and i supposed rome itself eventually. you've overcome every other obstacle. oh yes. what's wrong. you don't look well. -are you ill? when i returned from greece i heard that our brothers in jerusalem had been attacking my work in galatia. and i thought it was peter behind the subversion. so, i wrote the church in galatia and then i followed my letter with a journey to their cities, and i shredded my tormentors! -i destroyed them. then i discovered that peter never been there... never been to galatia... he had nothing whatever to do with the attacks against me. i was the accuser, not peter; i was the defamer, not peter. it was out of pride... which led to vengeance. -pride! y es i know...pride. pride? well let me see... i fail to do the things i want to do, and i find myself doing the things i hate. -the will to do what is good is in me, but the execution or the performance is not there. i would call for a spirit. they put the grape in an amphora and seal the cork with pitch and sink it in a fish pond for thirty days. they have the best in town at the end of the street. why does he come to us? -what does he want here? anything... he is capable of wanting anything. we are paul's starving relations now, while his ministry thrives on two continents. let us receive him with respect. -the danger he brings us. what goes on in his mind. god bless you, paul. as he does you. come. -come in. menahem and naaman are known to you. my friends in christ... luke... ah, the physician from macedonia. -i have known only egyptian doctors. no harm can come from that... but stay well. timothy and trophimus... let me say most of all, welcome. -though we do wonder why you have asked for this assembly. naaman... i have not finished. you have won. your concept of the church sweeps two continents, while ours clings to a sliver of land, our members crying for food and work denied them by the people of their own nation, who look upon us as renegades. -what is it you bring us then in the face of that? is it gloating at the threat of our extinction? from the churches of macedonia... for our brothers in jerusalem... from the churches of galatia and asia... from corinth and greece. -the money saves us. i hoped peter would be here. he's in babylon, with mark. how is he? what we hear is seldom and little trusted. -you've heard about barnabas. you know of his death... yes. yes, unfortunately we parted with some bitterness. it was my fault. -we always have ourselves to weather. oh, yea... so the jerusalem church still doesn't trust me? the past is hard for them to forget. how can i gain their trust? -let me warn you. we are a city on the verge of rebellion. the sicarii, daggermen, assassins, they grew bolder and bolder. they have killed a high priest who consorted with rome, and they have killed romans. a terrible fear and suspicion exists. -how can i gain their trust? there's a ceremony of purification and sacrifice at the t emple, tomorrow. four of our men... it's everything you've preached against. no james... -no. all i've ever preached is to preserve the law but don't impose it on the gentiles. preserve the law but don't impose it on the gentiles. that's all i've ever preached. you'll attend then? -y es, i will attend. you...! i have seen this man, in ephesus! he teaches against the law! look! -he brings greeks in the court of the jews! he defiles this holy place! listen to me... listen to me... let me speak to them. -these fanatics? please, let me speak to them. brethren and fathers. listen to me. i am a jew! -thoroughly educated in the law of our forefathers. i have always worked in the service of god. and i began by persecuting this christian movement to the death, by arresting its followers and putting them in chains. yes. by putting them in chains. -then one day, i was given letters by our council of elders to our fellow jews in damascus and i started out to bring the christians there back to jerusalem... then suddenly, on that road to damascus... i saw a great light shining all around me. it was a great light that seemed to flash from the sky. then i heard a voice say, -'saul, why do you persecute me? the lord replied 'l am jesus of nazareth, whom you are persecuting...' what is the news from jerusalem? news? what is news? -news is what you have not heard before. the jews extremists will not be satisfied with nothing but that this man, this paul, be returned to them. for trial? any way they can get him. even his head as a pickled melon. -they do not take heads, noble festus, they stone them. what did you tell them? i told them if they have charges to bring them here to caesarea. we shouldn't offend them. you're causing rebellion. -there is too much of this nonsense. they rebelled against your predecessor. killing taught them nothing. killing only makes them hate us more... damn these people! -we bring them trade, safe travel, roads. throughout the empire, there is peace! but here in judea... i do not understand them! we're tyrants to them, festus, idol-worshipping inferiors... -i do not understand this paul and i do not understand this sect of his. i do not understand their charges against him. what is it they want? ask that question tonight. of whom? -his majesty, agrippa ll, has arrived to pay you, the new procurator, a state visit. the jewish king? i've no stomach for these amenities. i'll see him tomorrow. he's useful to rome. -what are the particulars? he's young, 32, cynical... political survivor whom rome allows to reign. his principal function is to appoint the high priest of the temple in jerusalem. he's arrived with his sister, bernice... with whom, rumors have it, he is having incestuous relations. he appoints the high priest in jerusalem? -with promiscuous regularity. theodotus, i would see this king,. i am gratified that you should come at such an opportune time, king agrippa. noble optimus... for i am in need of a decision, and i find myself confronted by the issues. -please, speak plainly. we have a man here, named paul, left in custody by my predecessor, felix. when i was in jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the jews demanded his condemnation. but when his accusers rose to speak, they brought none of the charges that i was expecting. -they merely made certain points of disagreement with their peculiar religion and this jesus, a dead man whom this paul alleges to be alive. so, i am faced with determining whether he should be sent to jerusalem and stand trial there on these charges. whatever counsel my brother may offer... i do not seek his counsel, i seek his decision. you ask that i decide...? -better you than i with a roman heart. your kindness to me is a wonder, procurator if i should find him innocent... their rage is directed toward me, not rome. our poor remedies are iron and blood. should i find him guilty it's not rome who faces the blame. -the deed is yours. if my brother chooses to do neither? is it the light that makes you look so cold, king agrippa? take lemons to keep down the chill. i should rather like to hear this man myself. -tomorrow you shall hear him. bring on the prisoner. bring him here. this is the man that inflames a nation? who threatens the order of an empire? -king agrippa, all of you present here with us, you see this man. the temple leaders approached me, both here and in jerusalem, ioudly insisting that he has no right to remain alive. that he is a leader of a blasphemous so-called christian sect... that he is a disturber of the peace among jews all over the world. and that his most recent effort, according to his accusers, has been to desecrate the t emple in jerusalem. -and that in preaching of this jesus as the messiah, he is denying the authority of the emperor. but i have nothing definite about him. accordingly, i have brought him here before you and particularly you, king agrippa, so that as a result, i may have something. you have our permission to speak for yourself. i consider, myself fortunate, king agrippa, that it is before you that i am to make my defense today upon all charges brought against me, particularly as you are expert in all jewish matters. -i beg you, therefore, to give me a patient hearing. why is it considered incredible among you that god should raise dead men to life? you assert this? in defiance of jewish opposition...! i assert nothing beyond what was foretold by the prophets and by moses... that the messiah was to suffer... -blaspheme! do you believe the prophets, king agrippa? i know that you do believe them. you think it will not take much to win me over and made a christian of me? much or little, i wish to god that not only you, but those who are listening to me now might become what i am! -i warn you, do not mock me...! i have committed no offense, either against the jewish law, or against the temple, or against the emperor. are you willing to go to jerusalem to stand trial on these charges? why? is that to be your decision? -(shouting) to jerusalem! to jerusalem! i stand before the emperor's tribunal and that, as a roman citizen is where i must be tried! if i am guilty of any capital crime, i do not ask to escape the death penalty. -but, if there is no substance in the charge which these men bring against me, then it is not open to anyone to hand me over as a sop to them. i appeal to caesar! you have appealed to caesar, this is your right. to caesar you shall go! excellency, there is a citizen who asks to see you. -audiences are held in the mornings. so i've told the man. he asks that his name be giving to you. he calls himself simon peter, a friend of paul of tarsus. pass him. -come... i cannot say how greatly you have come to interest me. i ask about paul. that you, with this paul, can so exercise the hebrew's passions. tell me a tale of battle, of rape and plunder... that i understand. -they say there was a trial... what's happened to paul? nothing will be done to further inflame the hebrews! this christian church, whatever that may be, will cease to exist! it is not for me to agree to these things... -you will agree! it's over, it's done! in this region, this judea, i tell you: no christian will announce himself as an apostle, or to go to the jews, nor the gentile, or anyone else. you will do nothing to antagonize, to inflame or offend. -this christ church is to become nothing! you had your moment, it's ended, as it's ended for paul! do you truly believe that chains can silence him? simon peter... he was placed on an asian grain ship with a complement of prisoners bound for rome, -he was accompanied by a man named luke, who chose to go with him as his servant. off the coast of crete, they encountered a gale of force magnitude. that was a week ago. no ship in that region has been heard from. we need fire... -come, let's gather wood. we need fire. come...gather wood. should we kill them? they could escape. -no. where are we? where is this place? malta. malta? -it's a viper! i'm alright, luke, i'm alright. what keeps you alive? you've a fever that's near killing you. are you offering me an escape from prison? -there is that chance. you're body's riddled with poison... your hand's like fire... there is a ship, the 'castor and pollus' of alexandria, wintering at the island. it will take us to italy in three months. three months... no sooner? -you survive the bite of a viper and you hunger after nero's court? y es. we're moving into a village... the maltese council has asked to speak with you. you have my permision. thank you. -three months. well, i've written to our followers in rome. i'm wondering if my letters reached them. i'm wondering in fact if our church there still exists or survives. i wonder. -thank you. thank you. these islanders... they see you pull a snake from your hand and survive... and call it a miracle. that worries you? -if there is sufficient venom from the bite, you die, if not, you live. i know that as a physician. but a miracle? why do you complicate the word? in all my studies there is no such word! -it's an event which creates faith, that's all. how can it be reconciled... to have the wisdom to explore the possibilities of our existence... and still have faith. you say there's something more. yes, remember the scripture, it says, 'l will destroy the wisdom of the wise. i will bring to nothing the cleverness of the clever.' -yes, for you... christ spoke to you. but for the others... who haven't seen your 'bolt of light', what sign do we look for? it's not a sign, it's a surrender. well, i fear it. -i fear too that your church in rome no longer exists. that it's all futility. i'll reach it! using your trial as a forum? nero will be too shrewd to offer the world such a spectacle. -i must reach them. rome is everything. how do you reach them from prison? i will... i will. -(peter thinking of what paul said) quite alone to me he said, 'peter, i tell you this in very truth... when you were young you fastened your belt around you and you walked where you chose; but when you are old, you will stretch out your arms and a stranger will bind you and carry you where you have no wish to go.' can you go there with me? -i'll wait for you there. ( soft music ) i come from philippi! what is your name? epaphroditus! -philippi has sent money for your support in rome! move! move! hail ceasar! the prisoner, paul of tarsus, is delivered to caesar as specified in these papers of his case from protius festus, procurator of judea. -where is he now? he has been turned over to the governor of the camp of foreigners to await ceasar's pleasure. word of this prisoner precedes him. our court can talk of nothing else. truly... -what sort of character have we in this man? i am unqualified to speak on such things... i disagree. you've been with the man since judea, you were shipwrecked with him... we would not have come through alive without him. -enlighten us. please. he administered to the sick and injured aboard the ship... to preserve them for mutiny. he gave warning of mutiny of the egyptian crew which sought to abandon us off malta. -insuring his own survival... perseverance and cunning. what else? nothing else, caesar. oh come, come. -surely you've heard other things. what else has been said of this paul? (quietly) i have heard it said... we don't quite hear. some have said... in some places... he is thought by some... the most important man in the world. -the most important man in the world? you read greek, do you not, centurion? i do. the man has written a letter to his christians here in rome. it's been widely copied. -read it. by the mark... '... they boast of their wisdom, but that have made fools of themselves...' 'they' is my court and, therefore, me. continue... '... -their women have exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and their men burn with lust for one another; males behave indecently with males and are paid in their own persons the fitting wage of such perversions...' while i am filled with 'every kind of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and malevolence...' the most important man in the world? clearly, by his own hand, he assigns this designation to me. -the man must be brought at once to trial. i suggest caution. he has entered rome to an ovation bordering on triumph. he has asked for a trial! as a roman, it is his right. -to bring him to trial and execution, you martyr him. you give him the stage he wants! there is no choice! his papers are delivered! with so good a report as you bring us of the prisoner's character and conduct, he should have more than usual liberty... -caesar... see that he is comfortably quartered. visitors may have access to him. but keep him under guard. the christians are no force in rome. -to permit them exposure to this man... he is a fanatic... who stirs the minds... of jews and greeks who hunger for a sorcerer to lead them from under the saddle of roman rule. let them have him... they'll soon see that saddle is most firmly planted. -but his papers... are... lost at sea. hail, caesar. (paul thinking) from paul, apostle of jesus christ by the will of god. -grace, mercy, and peace to you... oh how i long to see you again. i am exposed to hardship, even to the point of being shut up like a common criminal; but the word of god is not shut up! leave! -go away! get rid of these people! move on! move on! ...the final age of this world will be a time of troubles -when men and women will love nothing but money and self: arrogant, abusive, boastful, no respect for parents, no gratitude, no piety, no love, no natural affection, swollen with self-importance and pride. you stay clear of such people. their success will be short-lived... everyone out! -guard! everyone out of here. get them out... all of them. hurry, move on! do not assume this favorable agreement is out of respect for your mission! -nero gives you time and opportunity to fail with these people! only by so doing, can you expect a moderate sentence. he could even accept the ridicule of your failure as sentence enough. but this! a parade of converts and believers; -not only greeks and jew, but now romans. romans! that condemns you! open the door... let there be no misunderstanding! -there is death before death -- the mamertine prison. he does not understand! there is no misunderstanding. open the door my friend, hmm? hold on, you! -these are the apartments of the man called paul? no one sees him at this hour. i know him. he'll see me. move him along, quick. -what happens here? i have told the man to go. who are you? a friend of paul's. then you will have a name that i'll know. -my name is mark. welcome! mark. oh, mark. how many years has it been...? -what news have you brought me? first, drink this... this is my medicine. how many years has it been? what news have you brought of you? -oh, james told me about your work in jerusalem. wonderful! timothy will be arriving, from ephesus... good! this is good news! -what else? any news of peter? he follows in your footsteps. step by step, he reaffirms your message... i've sent word, wherever possible, that you're in rome. -good. peter and i have come so far without each other. that we end together... i have no doubt. it is sad isn't it? -to have spent all these years apart in bitterness and enmity. my fault... pride. it's good to see you mark. it's good to see you. -well, i've learned not to dwell on things past. confinement has taught me to control my thoughts. so my friends they come and they visit me and they gather about me and they listen to me. which puts a strain on my humility. so you say, timothy is to arrive. -that is good news. so, the gospel is being preached and christ is being made known. it is a time of hope and promise hail, caesar! the papers for paul of tarsus. -a citizen of rome. but...weren't they lost at sea? they have washed ashore. hail ceasar! what are the charges? -disturbing the peace of the empire; and being the center of disorder; and proclaiming a king other than the emperor. where am i to be taken? the mamertine. -sit down. sit down! to the greeks, to you, my partners of the early days... to israel, entrusted with the oracles of god... and therefore brothers in the family of god... and to rome, whom god has called to be his people... i give you my receipt for everything... -i am paid in full. already my life is being poured out on the alter. and the hour for my departure is upon me. i have run the great race. i have finished the course. -i have kept the faith. now the prize awaits me. peter! well, you're something to see! you received my letter? -yes. i caught up with your news in pisidia! paul in rome! how is he...? they've killed him. -he's dead. how was it done? he was a roman citizen. beheaded. was there a trial? -a shameless perjury, testimony of fiction. who stood with him? i was with him. who else? luke, till the end. -he went back to philippi. no others? they all ran away. paul prayed that it not be held against them. he was like no one else... -he set the truth in the sunlight... and i am out of patience with myself. peter... i've waited to warn you. daily, nero rounds up more and more christians, their death's made a matter of sport. -they are covered wild beasts' skins and torn to pieces by dogs; or set of fire to serve as torches at night. the christian community is in a panic. only the bravest dare to meet at all, and they're in secret catacombs beneath the city. god forbid that i should not be a part in this. -assemble the leaders. (thinking of what paul said) there is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope and endurance. are there prophets? their work will be over. -is there knowledge? it will vanish away. but love will never come to an end... the time has come for the judgment to begin; and it is beginning with god's own household. -and if it is starting with you, do not be bewildered by the fiery ordeal that is upon you, as though it were something extraordinary. it gives you a share of christ's suffering and that is a cause for joy... salvation was the theme which the prophets pondered and explored, those who prophesied about the grace of god awaiting you... and it was disclosed to them that the matter was not for their time, but yours. and now it has been openly announced to you... through paul, the apostle who brought you the gospel through the power of the holy spirit sent from heaven! -you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation to proclaim the triumphs of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. dear friends! christ suffered on your behalf and thereby left you an example. it is for you to follow in his steps. the inheritance of which we are born is one that can never be destroyed. -it is kept for you in heaven. and jesus said, 'this is my commandment, iove one another as i have loved you. there is no greater love than this that a man should lay down his life for his friends. i call you my friends because i have disclosed to you everything i have heard from my father. -and then he said, "you did not choose me, i chose you. i appointed you to go on and bear fruit that shall last forever. so that my father may give you whatever you ask in my name. this is my commandment to you. -love one another." awake! be on the alert! your enemy, the devil, like a roaring lion, prowls round looking for someone to devour... stand up to him... -this devil, firm in faith... and remember your brother christians are going through the same kinds of suffering... while you are in this world. and the god of all grace... who called you into his eternal glory in christ, will himself, after your brief suffering, restore and strengthen you on a firm foundation! -peace! to all you who belong to christ! be alert, be wakeful...! 'you do not know when the moment comes. keep awake, then! -for you do not know when the master of the house is coming! evening, midnight, early dawn... if he suddenly comes he must not find you sleeping! keep awake! i am not worthy to be crucified as my lord was... dramatic music (paul's voice) who can separate us from christ's love? -can trouble or misfortune or persecution or hunger or destitution or danger or the sword? but, in all these things, we are more than victorious through him who loved us. for i am convinced that neither death nor life will be able to separate us from the love god has shown us in christ jesus our lord. and jesus said, "this is my commandment: -love one another as i have loved you. there is no greater love than this-- that a man should lay down his life for his friends. take home jesus' love. and keep it by giving it to others. amen. -amen. peter... i came as soon as i couid. here, drink this. james, you lead us well. -twelve men, praying in a grotto. deceit and betrayal are everywhere. it's true, then, they've taken stephen. they're holding him in prison. he's to appear before the sanhedrin. -what harm is stephen to them? his mission was to provide foodto our poor. he got into an argument on the temple steps. he quotedthe prophets to prove that jesus was the true messiah. there were bitterwords. -he was warned by the guards to move on. things went against him very fast. informants in the crowdreported him to the council. he's chargedwith blasphemy. they have noright to try a man for a capital charge. -the romans forbid it. rights? rights no ionger matter. there arereasonabie men amongthe sanhedrin. they can't be all of one mind. -the zealots are in control. reasonable men can no ionger oppose them. they see themselves on the brink of destruction under roman rule, highways of jews being crucified all over palestine. john, who was with him when he was taken? no one. -no one? none stood up with him? where are our voices? keep yours down. what justifies yourwords? -to shame us? no. no, no, no. you fulfill your duty. it seems to be some special providence that all we can rejoice in is suffering. -godwiii one dayrepay us. i do not believe that was my pact with jesus! stephen goes too far! andwe desert him? there is nothing any of us can do. -saul pauius of tarsus, it's in your charge! witnesses identify yourselves! saiium of alexandria. sabhah, the cyrenian. caleb of ciiicia. -who isready? lord jesus, receive my spirit! do not hoidthis sin against them! rabban gamaiiei. thank you. -thank you. you look worn, saul. i have felt concern for you. i have never seen a man being stoned before. it's somethingthat i will neverforget. -but, it was necessary and it was also a moral right if we are to preserve the law. it was consideredremarkabie that you came to us with such a fund of knowledge of the law. well, whatever my own feelings are in this matter, i cannot affordto take account of them. i've wastedtoo much time as it is in thinking and i... -besides, i have my commission from the high priest. i have heard of this commission. a house-to-house search for otherfoiiowers of jesus, is it not? yes, yes i myself askedforthe commission to go to damascus andto the synagogues there andto arrest these people and bringthem back to jerusalem andthere by make them eitherrenounce theirfaith of suffer punishment. you should be of great service. -we are waging a just war! andthey're the ones to be blamed. heathen still at heart, this stephen called us. heathen still at heart, and deaf to the truth! that we hadthe law brought to us by angels andthat we are the ones who have not kept it that was the insult, that was the monstrous insult! -andto say that jesus paidfor our sins? that this jesus paidfor our sins andthat we only by accepting him, can we be forgiven ours? jews and gentiles alike? i must go against them! but against whom? -we are occupied by rome, not by followers of jesus. rome, whose force is overwhelming, who corrupts our leaders, subverts from within, who throw us into bitter opposition against each other, until we see threats and act against them more in passion than reason. and jews, in the name of salvation, turn against jews. they would destroy the temple! wouidthey not? -it is against them that i turn. not the jews! what are they if not jews? rabban gamaiiei. saul pauius. -be cautious in decidingwhat you do with these men. leave them alone. if this idea of theirs or its execution is of human origin, it will collapse. but if it comes from god, you will never be able to put them down, and you risk finding yourself at warwith god. tell me, lord, who are you! -i can't see! i'm blind... this man has important work to do here in damascus. he was to be brought to me. his companions brought him. -to leave him like this? why? he will take nothing, no food no water. he will say nothing. keep me notified of his condition. -save me, god! i am sinking in the deepest swamp, there is no foothold; worn out with calling, my throat is aching, my eyes are strained, iookingfor my god. please, pull me out of this swamp; -let me sink no further, do not let the waves wash over me, do not let the deep swallow me orthe pit close it's mouth on me. in your great kindness, father, answer me. who's there? my name is ananias. -ananias? why are you here? i am directed here, by a vision. vision? ananias, it called out to me... -'go to the street called straight and ask forthe man from tarsus named saul.' are you saul? yes. i often heard of you and all the harm you have done my people in jerusalem. that you were sent here to damascus to arrest anyone who followed jesus of nazareth. -andwas it a true vision that came to me. i too had a vision. i saw a light shining all around me and around my companions. it was a light more brilliant than the sun itself. we fell to the ground, andthen i heard a voice, sayingto me, "saul, saul, why do you persecute me!" -i said, "lord, who are you?" andthe lordrepiied, "i am jesus, whom you are persecuting. i have appearedto you for a purpose. get up and go into the city -and you will be toidwhat you have to do." "go", the lordtoid me, andteii this man that i have chosen him to serve me, to make my name known to gentiles and kings andto the people of israel. and i myself will show him all he must sufferfor my sake." saul, my brother may you be fiiiedwith the holy spirit. and isaiah replied, -"listen, now, descendants of king david. the lordwiii give you a sign... a youngwoman who is with child, will have a son andwiii name him 'immanuei.' a child is born to us! a son is given to us! he will be called 'eternal father,' -'prince of peace.' hisroyai powerwiii continue to grow; his kingdom will always be at peace. he will rule as king david's successor, basing his power on right and justice from now until the end of time." -andthen jesus addressedthe people and his disciples with these words saying: 'the doctors of the iaw andthe pharisees sit in the chair of moses; therefore do what they tell you; pay closely to theirwords. but do not always follow their practice; -forthey say one thing and yet they do another. they make heavy packs and pile them on other men's shoulders but will notraise a fingerto lift the ioadthemseives. what everthey do is done for show. some of these men, they like to go about with large tassels on theirrobes; -and have places of honorforfeasts andthe chief seats in synagogues, to be addressedrespectfuiiy in the streets, pay no heath to these men. they're waitingto kill you at the gates. we'ii wait until nightfall andthen we can arrange your escape. i won'trun. i won't be driven out. -there is suffering in survival. you'ii see. one of my horses needs attention. is the hoof split. there's a sweiiingthere in the upper part of the front leg. -right here? here? you don't know much about horses, do you? i'm a tentmaker. not many tents are sold in jerusalem. -i work where i can find it. and speak where you will. no one has spoken the words of jesus on the temple steps since stephen. you've done so more than once i heard you. who sent you? -i come for myself. what's your name? barnabas, a follower of jesus. this is my young cousin, mark. tell me, you have said, -'faith becomes supreme of all human acts', tell me, how do you know? through whose authority was the word of the lord conveyedto you? through jesus. the lord spoke directly to you? yes, told me what i am to do. -what are you to do? i am to take the word elsewhere. then why are you here in jerusalem and not elsewhere? i am here to iearn. what? -from whom? from those people who where with him... with jesus and peter. you would see peter? yes, that's why i'm here. it will be difficult. -well, as i say, give my horse a good scrubbing, we'ii be back. come. we thank you lordforthe blessings you have bestowed upon this house. forthis house which has been offeredto us for prayer andforfeiiowship by this good gentle woman, mary. for barnabas who sustains us with his personal treasure for god... who'srich in mercy even when we are dead in sin. -who has quickened us together in christ by grace we are saved. amen. amen. tell them cousin barnabas, tell them. aii in goodtime. -jacob of beth-horan is still without work. how is the family forfood? too proudto ask. but the baby cries. while we have this and a warm kitchen to sit in? -mark will take them food in the morning. the man saul pauius of tarsus preaches on the temple steps. so it is said. we heard him. he speaks out openly in the name of jesus... -atrick, to gain ourtrust. we spoke to him. he works in a stable. he says he has seen the lord and heard his voice. andwe've heard yours. -take him. enough for now, i think. bring your supper. mother, i'm not finished. good bye, mark. -you went to him! yes. we decided against it. we agreedto avoid him! i would iike to hear more from barnabas. -a knock on the door, does it always mean a friend? it could be. then you open it, brother of mine. i say the man is our enemy. i agree. -i think something different. it's a trap! i've met the man. there's been a change. that takes my appetite! -he has been beaten for preaching in damascus. he barely escapedthe city with his life. it was probably arranged, i still say it's a trap. enough, james. i've heard him speak of things we are meant to do and do not. -such things as? that the word be taken to all nations. we have yet toreach beyond judea. peter, he asks for a meetingwith you. -tomorrow... i'ii see him tomorrow. you can tell him where. i've heard you want to know of jesus. so. -sit there. it was here that we spent our last night with him. aii of us, here, together, before the passoverfestivai. he knew that his hour had come. at supper, he arose and pouredwater into a basin andwashed ourfeet. -i objected. 'you lord, washing my feet? ' he answered, 'so that you will do just as i have done for you.' -'one of you,' he said, 'will betray me.' 'it is the man to whom i give this piece of bread.' and he took it and dipped it in a dish and gave it to judas, son of simon iscariot, who was sittingwhere you sit now. 'even my bosom friend in whom i trusted, who ate of my bread hasraised his heel against me...' i know the prophecies as well as you. -though i am unaware that judas, also, was torise from the dead. are you judas? come. you askedto know. then come. -he came with us here that night to this garden to wait. three times we slept while he prayed. andthen, near midnight, we awoke to hear him say, 'the hour has come! let us go forward. -the traitor is upon us.' judas appearedwith a great crowd. 'haii, rabbi! ' he cried out to jesus and kissed him, which was a signal. they came forward and held jesus fast. -i took up a sword and struck off the ear of a temple servant. 'put up your sword,' jesus criedto me. 'aii who live by the sword, die by the sword! what is it you want? to do what he has told me to do. -why should his teachings be entrustedto you? you have condemned him, denied him, executed one of his followers, persecuted others! yes, didn't any of you doubt his word when you first heard him? didn't you all experience your own conversion? i would no more deny him than you, peter. -they led him away as we fled, all of us deserting him. he was brought before the high priest andthe sanhedrin. i was sitting outside. a serving maid stopped and said, 'you were with jesus the galilean.' -i denied it. 'i do not know what you mean,' i said. 'this fellow was with jesus of nazareth,' someone else said. and again i denied it. -'i do not know the man! , i said. 'sureiy, you must be one of them, the way you speak gives you away,' said someone else. and again, i said, 'i do not know the man! ' -andwhen he died? none of us was there to be with him. save one. andthat one was john. we are not jesus. -we are only men. but, believe in him andwe are forgiven. isn't that the great gift? in gaiiiee once, i asked him, 'lord, how many times am i to forgive my brother if he goes on wronging me? -as much as seven times seven? ' jesusrepiied, 'i do not say seven times; i say seventy times seven.' -show me gaiiiee. i told jesus once, 'master, we've fished all night andtaken nothing.' 'put out into deep water,' he said, 'and let down your nets for a catch! -sit, sit, i have no other boat. we made so great a haul that night, our nets began to split, andwe loaded our boats until they almost sank. 'henceforth, you shall catch men,' he said. that was his mission to you? i send you out like sheep amongwoives,' he told us. -to heal the sick, bringto life the dead of spirit, cleanse the lepers, cast out the devils.' 'be wary as serpents, yet innocent as doves.' that is my mission, also. after his death, he came to us once again by the sea of tiberias. -quite alone to me, he said, 'peter, i tell you this in very truth: when you were young, you fastened your belt around you andwaikedwhere you chose; but when you are old, you will stretch out your arms and a strangerwiii bind you fast andtake you where you have no wish to go.' can you go there with me? -i'ii wait for you there. james... you honor my house. there are assassins waitingfor you in jerusalem. where did you hear of this? there was a messenger, from the temple. -there's an uproar over your preaching against the law. then he'ii stay here. they'ii find him here. we'ii hide him. to what end? -to the endthat there will be no end if we don't stand up against them. you are thinkingwith your pride, not your head! the man steps forward as only one of us has done, as stephen did! andwhat was thatresuit. ahh, is there's something else. -it is clearthat peter has accepted you. as barnabas has. others are not so certain. i accuse them of jealousy! i accuse john of not beingforcefui! -you, of beingtimid...! i am for one thing oniy-- the survival of the church. you didn't buiidthe church! norwere you in jerusalem with jesus! that's true. -i wasn't. but you commissioned me to lead, you andthe others. i didn't ask for it. i was askedto assume it when none of you would do so. his sacrifice has been greaterthan any one of us! -his sacrifice is nothing if the temple is goadedto violence andthe romans close in! they'ii send chosen troops andwe'ii be crushed in the middle! he cannotremain here. you must leave judea! -home to tarsus. i shouidfeei happy, but, i feel nothing. we'ii sendfor you. findwork for you. you'ii receive letters and instructions. -messengers will come. i wont' be idle. i'ii cast my net into deeperwaters. he spoke to me, and i with him. we spoke of many things. -what did you talk about? we talked about you. ah, you never did. forfifteen days that he was here i felt...renewed. do you know what i mean? -tell me. as though a ceiiingwere lifted andthere was fresh air. he'sreaiiy affected you. afflicted me. with all that's gone before andwe committedto do and do not. -words. i am affiictedwith words. words are what the master gave you. to act upon. i do not act. -'you are myrock,' he saidto me. james leads. james... i honor james, he does not lead! he prays... -behind closed doors and shutteredwindows. only one, this one, this saul, stands fast in the open, andwe send him away! i fear... it could end in words. just words... behind closed doors. 'i send you out innocent as sheep amongwoives,' he said. -'for men will flog you for my sake... all will hate you for your allegiance to me; but the man who holds on to the endwiii be saved...' a better place fortents than jerusaiem. saul, it's me. aiongwhiie, hey? -yes, eight years. as long as that. well, they were eight difficult years i can tell you. not once have i heardfrom jerusaiem-- by letter, by messenger or by word of mouth, not once. i've been abandoned. -yes, i've been abandoned, barnabas. you will understand, therefore, if i am not overjoyed by your visit. but, i am. besides, i don't come from jerusalem. why are you here? -forthe fish. so, you continue to preach declaring your new views? yes. in synagogues? yes, until i was driven out. -andthen... i spoke where i couid, in the streets. this is your birth place, isn't it? what of yourfather? he mourns me as if i were dead. -tell me, who are they who listen to you in the streets? greeks. it's a greek city, tarsus. greeks? but, they are gentiles, heathens. -yes, with a concept ofreiigion. based on ignorance and superstition. jesus said, 'make my name known to gentiles and kings...' you're testing me, barnabas. of course i am as i test myself all the time, believe me. -now listen... i'd heardwhat you've been doing. that's why i'm here. now, in antioch, you see, some greek-speaking jews, such as myself, have startedto preach directly to the greeks, iike you. andwe need help. -i thought of you. will you come? where, to antioch? yes, we could leave in a few days. we could leave tonight if you'd iike. -oh, good. what's happening in jerusalem, where's peter? you haven't heard? no. i thought you knew. -what? jerusalem is starving. the first order of business in antioch will be toraise some money for our people there. yes, jerusalem is starving. your esteem... -save yourreverence. i was almost set upon coming out of the temple. the situation is desperate... you understand it wonderfully well. starvation is upon the city... -starvation is upon world! you answerfor jerusaiem. you rule judea. i am king, not high priest. you rule the house of god, not i. -is this not a godly choice? i am for myself andthese good men, certainly not the object of god's wrath. we uphold and protect the law. our lives are given overto the law. we are creatures of rome, you and i. -weruie so long as rome is satisfied. my king, we are jews...! yes, we are jews! but not as they are jews. there is something in their characterwhich awes me. -they are for israel with a passion for independence, even as they break apart from each other-- sadducees, essenes, pharisees. in time enough, they'ii unite against the caesars... but not in my time. the law... meanwhile. the law controls them, as long as there is control. -we are holy men, my king. we can do nothing but conform to the law... then give them someone otherthan ourselves to cry out against. listen to them! might not the fault lie with this jesus sect... -yes, theyrebei andreject andthereby bring god's wrath on all of us! is it not written in the psalms: 'see how the eye of god is on those whoreiy on his love...' '... torescue their souls from death and keep them alive in famine.' 'as forthe wicked... they shall perish, these enemies of god.' -so it is written. james! this one's fortomorrow. keep him upright. these people like to kneel. -put it with therest, we'ii store it later. how'd you get it past the guards? they are starving, too. that's the iast of it. ask who it is. -who is there? peter. it's peter. the girl's mad, he's in prison. of course, lets hide the food. -peter, peter... how did you escape? the lord delivered me... it's true. but listen, you must leave quickly. i'ii give you water. no, there's no time. -a house-to-house search is certain. where will you go? to gaiiiee. there will berefugees. i'ii join you. -i'ii go, too! no mark! i won't be left behind! he'ii come with me, to antioch. tell them all i'm safe. -yes, there was a time when you were dead. there was a time when you were dead to your sins andto yourwickedness, when you foiiowedthe evil ways. now, i say to you, rememberthat former condition -- you, gentiles, you, 'the uncircumcised,' so called by those who are called 'the circumcised' remember yourformer condition. -barnabas, it's goodto see you. barnabas has justreturnedfrom jerusaiem. yes, remember yourformer condition. because at that time you were separate from god. yourworidwas a woridwithout hope. -but now in blessed union with christ jesus... both gentiie and jews, he has made the two one. the god of peace be with you all. thank you. the god of peace be with you all. barnabas... it's goodto see you back. -welcome back. it's goodto see you. who is this? mark. mark? -not the little mark i met eight years ago eight years. it's goodto see you... mark. yes, you'reright. these greeks they do think andthey do stimulate argument andthey provoke debate... thinking. -it's goodto see you. he grew up. ah, yes, we have a new word by which to describe ourselves christians- meaning partisans of christ. it's a wordthe romans use in jest. -so be it. christians. what's wrong? we do nothing in jerusalem! we hide andthen run! -there was no choice left to us. it was all we could do. then my teachers are not what they've educated me to be! when do you stand up to someone? when it's too late? -you're wrong. i'm right, you know i'm right. you're wrong. he'sright, of course. and he's been through a terrible time. -we all have. john's brother, james, has been killed. how? executed by herod agrippa, beheaded. where's peter! -no, no. he hadfied jerusaiem for gaiiiee. they have all fiedthey hadto. to avoid persecution. i can tell you, our church of jesus christ is in disarray. -cry for jerusalem. when you took food and money to them in jerusalem, barnabas, i gloated over it. yes, i wantedrevenge on those who left me unsummoned in tarsus all those years. peter and james and... yes, i wantedrevenge. -eight years i waited... eight years. i know it was wrong and everyday i ask god's forgiveness. god has his plan. i would not be here now, would i if i had done god's bidding, would i? you say that our church in jerusalem is in disarray? -it is. it seems to be dying, barnabas. it seems to be dying. he has no wish to see our church perish i'm sure of that. -who? god. but, it is perishing. it is perishing in our hands it is perishing. he said, "bring my name before the nations andtheir kings," -that what he said. which nations, what kings? i mean... our church... where would you go with it? where would i go with it? to the west. -out of judea? why yes, antioch is out of judea, isn't it. antioch has been approved by jerusaiem, coming here to antioch was a mission close to home. yes, well, now the mission must become a movement, barnabas. it must become a movement. -it has to become a living, movement, barnabas. otherwise, believe me, it will surely die. well, yes, i suppose we could go to cyprus. cyprus, yes... yes, i know it well, it is my home. -i startedtrainingthere. yes. we'd land at saiamis on the east coast andtravei across the islands to the synagogues of soil. yes, cyprus first. you'd go further? -well, yes, not just stop in cyprus. where? where? i don't know... i don't know... -to pamphyiia, pisidia, asia, yes, asia. yes, yes, i see, i see... a mission to preach to the whole heathen world, is that it? yes, yes! he said bring my names before the gentiles and before their kings. -do you remember? yes...yes... well, i'ii write to james and ask what he thinks. if you need james' permission, you betterwrite james then. i have my commission. -it comes from no man. i know...and paul we will do it. we will penetrate the greek cities one afterthe other. mark will come with us. yes, well, i'm not so sure about mark. -oh, oh... i ask forgiveness for hisrudeness. it's not hisrudeness that disturbs me. there'ii be hardship andthey'ii be danger, barnabas, when we do it. yes, i know, he's become a man, don't forget.and he knows no fear. -then one of the lawyers, who had been iisteningto these discussions, came forward and asked him, 'which commandment is first of all? ' 'the first is,' jesus answered... 'hear, o israel, the lord is our god... -the lord is one. '... love the lord your godwith all your heart, with all your mind and all your soul...' '...with all your strength...' pisidian bandits attacked us, six hours out... we fought as we could. -it was useless. they killed six of us, they took the young men to be sold as slaves. what's that? ! animal... -i heard nothing... what kind of animal? an animal. i know we haven't done well here, but... we're not discouraged, are we? -what are we then? in difficulty, perhaps. but not in despair. we're sick, andtired, and hungry... but we're never deserted. -you say that sittingthere with fever... werejoice in our sufferings... rejoice...? ...knowingthat suffering produces endurance, and endurance brings proof that we have stoodthe test, andthat is groundfor hope. he'sraving! -we failed here. no one listens to us... mark, we are deputies of christ. we are shipwrecked here, the word of christ is shipwrecked on the coast of pamphyiia. then we shall take his wordto pisidia. -through the hills? into those mountains? that is no journey for a sick man. theroads are thick with bandits. they kill the old men and sell the young ones into slavery. -we leave tomorrow. you go, not me! mark! three men alone? your duty is obedience. -to this madman? you are needed, have courage, don't despair. i want to go home! then go home, we have no pact with each other. go home. -are you well? i know... hey, don't worry my little friend, we'ii soon have you home... in jerusalem. there are plenty. it was a good catch. -peter... two weeks and nothingfrom you. we almost said kaddish. what news from jerusalem? herod agrippa is dead. -when? a month ago. good news. eaten by worms, they say..... better news. -mark was there. he's with me. he brings news that saul and barnabas have left antioch. they've gone into asia, makingfor greece. the last i saw -barnabas and paul walking into the hills. barnabas and paul? he no ionger calls himself saul. herefers to himself by his roman name. what of saul? -he threw off his hebrew inheritance? let him severwhat ties he will! who has directed him to go to the gentiles? directed him? he's to come to us? -he owes us nothing! you wish to see him humbled? i wish see him humble. god has a plan. paul is confident of that. -the facts are these he is where we should be and are not! with the gentiles? ! you think jesus meant salvation forthe jews alone? jesus meant salvation for all men... -in time! what is the man saying? that we are cornered by our own success. our jerusaiem church... is made of jews, not gentiies! -you agreed salvation is for all men. in time, peter, in time! the time is now. paul's seen to that. my brothers, you who come of the stock of abraham, and others among you whorevere our god, we are the people to whom the message of this salvation has been entrusted. -but, the people of jerusalem andtheirruiers did notrecognize him or did not understand the words of the prophets which areread sabbath by sabbath. indeed, they fuifiiiedthem byrejecting him. andwhen they carried out all the scriptures said about him, they cut him down from the gibbet and laid him in a tomb! but,godraised him from the dead, andthere was a period of many days when he appearedto them to those same people who would come up with him from gaiiiee to jerusalem. those same men who now bearwitness before our people before our nation... -andwe, my goodfriend barnabas and i, come to bring you the good news that godwho had made the promise to the fathers has fuifiiiedthe promise to the children byraising jesus from the dead. andthis stands as written in the second psalms. this man... this man whorose up from the dead! i would iike to see this man! -open your heart and you will see him! the messiah? the jews have a parable about that. they say if you are planting a tree, and someone comes and says, 'quick, comerunning, see the messiah,' you're suppose to first finish piantingthe tree. -there's also another saying of the jews. a proclamation of their own prophets: 'see this man, you scoffers, and begone; for i am doing a deed in your days, a deedwhich you will never believe when you are told of it.' this man is a forger! -he counterfeits this jesus! it is written if a man is put to death for some crime and his body is hung on a post he brings god's curse on the land! ' it was necessary that the word of god shouidfirst be deciaredto the jews. and it was providence that i found you here in pisidia. -but since you do not accept it... we turn to the gentiles. forthese are our instructions from the lord: 'i have appointed you to be a light forthe gentiies and a means of salvation to earth's farthest bounds! our men marrying heathen women? -what of your daughters? where do they find husbands when jewish men marry elsewhere? ourfood is low, we arerun out of one city after another stones thrown at us... you seem to like those stones, i don't. we could get down to the sea and make passage back to antioch. yes, yes, that is on my mind. -i know jesus said, 'if you are persecuted in one town, takerefuge in another.' but what can it be for us but the same in the next town. please, don't lets go on to lystra. it's time to go home. -hmm? oh well, iet's pray tonight the stones are softer in lystra. the scripture says that everyone who believes in him will be savedfrom shame... everyone. but there is no distinction between greek and jew... there is no distinction. the same lord is the lord of all. -and he has abundance ofriches to give to anyone who invokes him. forwe are his offspring, we are his children. so mark my words. i, paul, say to you that faith becomes supreme of all human acts! faith in jesus christ, whose death has broughtredemption from sin in all aspects forthose who believe! -who among you believes in him? who has faith enough to believe? anyone who has faith... raise your hand. yes you.. you'veraised your hand. yes. -can you stand? do you have magical powers? then why are you not standing, huh? can you stand? no, yourfaith alone can heal you. -stand. take only my hand. now stand. what do they say? they say we are hermes and zeus- gods from olympus! -what are you doing? what are you doing? we are only men we're not god. paul listen... paul they want us to stay. -they know we're only men, not gods. but, they want us to stay. they want us to stay. say nothing... say nothing and be still... let them pass... -they are centurians... romans trash... cousin barnabas. mark! well, you look fit. -i am. what about you? where did you come from? from paul. in antioch. -antioch? how's your mother? well. andthe others? returnedto jerusaiem with the end of the purges... -but this... there's great unrest and growingworse. rome's done with jewsruiing jews. it's goingto end badly. well... -i'ii go aiongto your mother's. see you later, i imagine. i should have stayedwith you in perga, we should have stayedtogether. i let you down, did you great harm. how stupid of my innocence, -paul knew what i was... fiiiedwith seif-righteousness, andtoo frightenedto go along. i wantedto escape, i ran away. forgive me. i was wrong. thank you, my boy. -where is james? i'ii take you to him. we have great news. success in galatia! i must discuss it with james andthe council at once. -gaiatia is won! where's barnabas? his ship is anchored, isn't it. he has arrived. yes, i know he has arrived. -where is he? we're waitingto greet him. he will not come. what? well, did jamesreceive you? -yes. open-heartediy. there were some others i had never seen before and didn't care fortoo much, but, yes, hereceived me. what do they say about our accomplishments? they say we flood our church with pagans. -that our gentile christians are uncircumcised, unparticuiar about the foods they eat, they do not understandthe law northe ceremony, that's what they say. andtheyreject your concept of salvation through faith alone. they call it a boast. a boast? ... -i don't boast of anything but the cross of christ! i did protest, i battled... so they grant the greeks nothing, is that it? nothing? i understand. -so, i'ii shall go to jerusalem myself. it was theirfinai word. it is not final nothing is final... i reject theirword! barnabas! -barnabas i'm goingto jerusaiem. i promise to bereasonabie, i shall be soreasonabie. but, i'm goingto jerusaiem. welcome! i thank you for letting me appear before you. -first, i would iike to make my companions known to you. this is titus. he is the gaiatian from the western end of the empire. most of you know my goodfriend, barnabas. i have come to jerusalem from antioch to lay before you the gospel which i am accustomedto preach to the gentiles, andto make sure that therace i haverun, and am running, should not be in vain. -christian faith stands on its own and should notrequire dependence on the iaw. and i have come to this after agonizing experience. but, our success in winning over greeks out in the roman west is clearly evidenced by the case of titus, who has been redeemed by faith in christ. there was a time, yes, there was a time... i grant you, there was a time when the iaw was a kind of tutor in charge of us until christ should come; -but now that the tutor charge is at an end! please, please, iet him finish here and speak... you wouidrequire no circumcision of these heathens? torequire circumcision of the greeks will of itself make our movement just another sect of judaism! how can you say that? -because you want to keep it for yourselves! but, jesus said, "extend it freely to others- give it away." we are the chosen people! ciearthe hall! -ciearthe hall! we'ii meet with them in private. we stay! it is ourright. i have promisedthis man that he could plead his case. -let him plead it. weremain! the two of you? siias as well. agreed. -continue... why is he here? he is to be circumcised if he is to mix with those of us that live by the iaw! don't you understand yet that when onereceives christ... they must first become jews! -we have no moreright or privilege in thisreiigion than greeks or barbarians! do any of you believe this man? 'go and make disciples of all nations,' christ said. no nation's people have advantage or priority in it. it is for men andwomen. -it is for slaves andfree men, greeks and jews alike! the law is the full expression of god's will! don't you see that you are tryingto effect a monopoly of the grace of god so that men will have to come to you to obtain it! and, i say to you, "who are you?" -or any of us here to sit in judgment? couidwe not find some compromise? yes, i say preserve the laws but do not impose them on the gentiles. ourtraditions are binding. indeed, andthey make it totally impossible for jews to mix with gentiles. -and, further, i suggest that any person who tries to impose theserituais, laws on the gentiles is actingfaiseiy and perhaps has no business being in our church. we heard enough. god made no difference between the gentiles and us. it is by the grace of lord jesus alone that we are saved and so they are. -why do you now provoke god by laying on the shoulders of these converts a yoke which they should not be made to bear? we have sat with the greek in violation of our customs. let him be circumcised in recognition. it is a small concession. no! -then you are no part of this! i disagree! he has earned his part in this! it is my judgment, therefore, that we impose norestrictions on these gentiles who are turningto god. i... -thirteen years... since we saidfareweii. i saidthen... i promised i wouldn't be idle. you return now to antioch? -yes. to your greeks. to my greeks. what are they like, these greeks? noble andtranquii. -'the fair and immortal children of the mind,' thus said piato. noble andtranquii... i should like to meet such people. well, come back with me. you showed me your christian heritage. -i'ii show you my greeks. to antioch? yes. why not? the good lord knows i couid use some tranquillity. -this food is a thief- it'ii steal two nights sleep from me. eat. how can you see such suffering. resign yourself. we'ii take care of yourwidow. -it's a miracle. theirtabie is yourtabie, enjoy! i embrace you all my brothers! peter, would you let us use your name? my name? -why my name? this summer, if it is possible will you return with me to gaiatia? why me? you? you're peter, you were with jesus. -don't you know what you mean to these people? i am a poorrepiacement. now look, not only the gaiatians but we couidwin the whole of asia with your name. the thought of such a journey... i have a taste for it. -why shouldn't i? you will? good! paul! brothers have arrivedfrom jerusaiem. -there is a message from james. 'it is the decision of the holy spirit, and our decision, that our greek believers must avoidwhat has been sacrificedto idols, avoidtastingthe blood and meat of animals that have been strangled, and immorality. if kept free of such violations, they will be acceptable to the church. this is from james? he's totally contradicted himself! -rethought himself. his pledge to me was that there should be norequirement of these people, only faith. it is his command... there are ten commandments and i don'trecaii one of them being james'! siias, as arespected man, a prophet and a teacher, tell me, why does james sendthis? -the ietterwas devised upon much prayer... prayer...prayer did not change him, they did! james, not you, have been entrustedwith the care of souls. you see they bend james to theirwiii! the name in my heart is with these gentiles. -good, then let's endthis conversation here and now. on the other hand, we cannot throw off all that's gone before in our lives anymore than we can shed our own skin. what? we've piedgedto these greeks full standing in the church, withoutruies, without laws... what has james askedthat you find so unreasonable... that they accept some fewrequirements. -afewrequirements? anyrequirement betrays a conviction that faith is not enough! you are not the center of the church, jerusalem is! i will not go against james! peter, not long ago, you saidthat no yoke should be laid upon the shoulders of these converts... -in your own words! you're like a straw blowing in the wind! would you end ourfriendship overthis? can't there be compromise on some basis? no, listen... -listen to me. before these people came from james, you ate with the heathen, you ate what they ate. now you're drawing back. i mean can't you see your own conduct condemns you. that you are like... -is that your answer. yes, that's my answer! you're like a straw blowing in the wind... like a straw... you're like a straw... -paul, i... yes... i know what you've been through andwhat you have achieved. but... we shouidreturn to gaiatia as soon as possible. -gaiatia? yes, as soon as possible. very well... i think i'ii ask mark to join us, we will... no, i remember his last performance. we'ii give him another chance. -no! paul, bereasonabie. barnabas, he's unreliable, he's not to be trusted! no! no! -no! perhaps it's betterthen that i revisit our churches in cyprus with mark. good! you can go on to gaiatia without me. excellent plan. -god speed. i'ii shall miss you. what do you want? consider me for your journey. you're one of james' messengers. -that mission is accomplished. if you will have me on yours, i want to come. go! six seconds. go! -for a cop's hide monsieur choucas! did you notice that i said monsieur choucas instead of inspector choucas? that was an astute observation. very astute. -and all in order to say that you don't have a badge anymore. and if you have no badge then you have no right to carry weapons. and if you're not allowed to carry a gun, then this is a violation. we are arresting you then you explain yourself to the head. you got into a pretty mess that is if we want you to. -is marie therese doing well? we don't know her. what a pity. she is attractive! just settled down in a nice flat on the pontuet street. -she's in trouble. oh yeah? yes, but two police officers cover her. she's calm. ok, guys. -are you going to arrest me or not? i've got work to do. bye michelle! bye choucas! for a cop's hide -how are you doing, gorgeous? relax damn it! there are people in here! where? a client in your office. -i'll see you later. don't piss me off! madam. monsieur choucas? yes. -isabelle pigot. sit down please. thank you. this is about my daughter. she's missing. -how long? a month. did you go to the police? i was just... excuse me. -yes! a policeman has come to see you. he says it's urgent. excuse me. what's wrong coccioli? -i'm sorry choucas. i wanted to come earlier... earlier than who? pigot. the one who's in your office now. -i tried to call you it was engaged all the time i was out to drink a cup of coffee. you're fired! from now on or shall we see later about that? we'll see. -shall we talk? yes, i know that her daughter is missing. take that case. take one thousand francs from her, then tell her that the investigation gave no results. ok? -not quite. you can also explain to her that private detectives are no better than the national police when it comes to looking for missing people. no. she'll go to another place. and they'll deceive her there. -we're friends. that's why i sent her to you. a private detective is exactly what she wants, as i said. she has read too many books. listen to her story. -take the money. you don't have to do anything else ok? i'll see. it will depend on my decision. on what? -what decision? yes, my decision... consideration... consideration. will... -have you heard about things like that? choucas, we allow you to work, providing a royal composure, even if you forget what you shouldn't do. but i won't advise you to abuse it. do you understand what i am talking about?

blonde, brunette, tall,shortish, thin, fat? what's she look like? blind. -blonde or brunette? quickly. brunette! damn it, that's enough! there's no problem! -she wrote you this. here! what's this? it's braille, choucas. blind people write in braille it's read with fingers. -yes. monsieur choucas. yes. i need to meet you, urgently! ok, i'll see you in half an hour. -neither at your place, nor at mine trocadero site. at 6:00. i can be there earlier. excuse me. -what are you doing? i'm calling the police. you don't have to. they are aware. they got the same letter. -they were completely satisfied. case closed. we'll see about that. not so fast. let's go! -damn it! damn it! want some? yes please thanks. you're probably very tired. -no. everything's fine. then would you mind telling that story again? no, none at all. i came home at 6. -my phone rang... that will do otherwise i'll become uproarious! just go! may i know what the braille letter was about? nothing essential. -that's my letter you must have it's interpretation. dear monsieur. i learned that my mother has asked you to... to find me. it's useless. -i left of my own free will... in order to join my fiance abroad. i don't want to see my mom yet. you may tell her that. you're only wasting your time and my mom is wasting her money. -your sincere martha pigot. satisfied? as you say. what do you think about it? i think i'm being taken for a fool. -and you? me too. damn! is he here? i'm asleep -i thought you were fired. i asked for forgiveness in bed. coffee? would you like too? yes please. -well! he's not talkative. he's always like this until he drinks a cup of coffee. i thought i might have some rest. me too. -and instead i spent the night with commissioner chauffard. yes, chauffard has been removed from the case. go on. they pass the case to madrier whom i actually know. i was in marseilles with him 4 years ago. -he was to investigate the disappearance of pigot's daughter. clearly speaking you were supposed to be removed from that case too. in a way, yes. thanks. anyway your client is dead. -police knows about it. i think you'll stop your investigation. in case i'm not around, this is martha's father fanch tanguy. isabella pigot. fanch tanguy. -that's just what we need, a briton. in this whole mess. thanks for the coffee. your companion, tarpon, is he real? yes. -you can never see him. he's very modest. there's something else i wanted to tell you, but i can't remember. next time. yes. -find me madam pigot's address. did you find anything interesting? see the car across the street? get into the driving seat we just want to talk. do you happen to be pigot's daughter's fiance? -what were you looking for upstairs? you. anything else? nothing else. just wanted to take a look and i did. -that's interesting. what's interesting? interesting. it's the first time i come to a man who was killed not that long ago, and see cops everywhere. interesting. -your client's dead? what more do you need? it's my responsibility trait. i was paid for two weeks in advance. perhaps you have some other clients. -maybe. who? fanch tanguy. let's go. we need to talk it over. -start the engine. first turn on the right. why? isn't it quiet here enough? no. -here? let's go then. is everything ok? yes. we can deal with that. -what about him? well, he's actually dead. let's go. ok... ok. -take care then. it just can't be. didn't you come too early? please take your gun away. i'm a cop too. -prove it. go on! are you alone? i work better that way. ok. -and? and... you've got somewhat into a mess choucas i say somewhat. let me see that huge widget. never use a 45 caliber pistol. -it makes a lot of noise and looks rough. i think with this same gun they killed pigot's mother. seriously? moron! oh my god! -are you aware you don't look so good? is he at home? who? your husband. no, he's not but... -are you wounded? it's nothing listen... why don't you come in? you didn't invite me in. you are the most fastidious man i've ever known. -i'll call the hospital. no wait. don't yell you'll wake up the whole neighborhood. never mind, they'll think i'm having sex. do you utter this kind of sounds when you make love? -such things happen to me. i have a doctor friend. wait i just killed a police commissioner. very clever... i had no choice. -i need wool alcohol and bandage... why? it's inside. who? the bullet. -but you'll help me go get your first-aid kit i'm a secretary and not a nurse. don't get at me. if i could see anything i would do it myself. great but i don't know anything about it. -i've never done this before. is it ok... i'm not a specialist in that? so,i'll just do what you say. here's everything you asked. -do it. i hate you. will you tell me later what happened? i'll tell you everything. do it. -besides, if i'll hurt you, you'll start yelling. no, i'll just fire you. bitch! shut up. why did you overturn the table on him? -he was going to kill me at that moment. he had planned it from the very beginning. besides, i came with a 45 caliber pistol in my hand. it was perfect for him. he fired into the wall to prove that i had fired the first shot. -and in that case his actions would be regarded as self-defense. you'll see tomorrow in the newspapers it'll work out perfectly. and i will be the murderer of pigot's mother and commissioner madrier. how will they connect these two murders? the same weapon. -i say all this to point out that madrier was still a fool. he could kill me first, and only then shoot into the wall. he had a sense of consistency. anyway the result is obvious you almost got into a mess. wake me up at 6. -and don't forget the shirt wool and... if he turns up, you didn't see me. i'm going to bed. hello? who? -yes. no, i don't know anything. what? ok, if i see him. that was commissioner coccioli. -he wanted to talk to you. dear coccioli... in a fit of rage the former arb inspector killed the police commissioner. are you listening? yes go on! -no doubt it was choucas, the killer with a 45 caliber pistol, who also killed mother pigot at the trocadero. exposed by the commissioner madrier he killed him with the same weapon. you were right i've got to go. and what about the croissants? -i don't have time. thanks for the coffee... shirt... and everything. where are you going? i think it's time to talk to tarpon. i agree with you. -be careful. here. what's this? grey lancia parked on the street corner.. you didn't rush. -i didn't want to wake you up in the middle of the night. you should. we invented for you a fictitious companion named tarpon so that you could use some information and assistance, which you can get from a retired cop named haymann. that same haymann prefers to keep in the background. yes, but... -in the background. neither in the dark, nor aside... ok? well i'm here. no? -i was just worrying. 2 sugars like always? like always. thank you. let's go! -let's go! madrier and coccioli. what do they have in common? they were together in marseilles several years ago. worked in the financial department. -he told me about that. did he tell you that something strange was going on in the department all the time? madrier was also involved in that. they were in a bundle. because of what? -i made some calls last night. i hope i'll find it out soon. what else? this. he's dead, that fanch tanguy. -damn! tell me. fanch tanguy whom they called fanch the whistler. he's been dead since 1944. he was a scoundrel. -an extremist of british national party. half musician half french gestapo man. crazy about traps extortion, obtaining information... what goes to... do you mean torture? -right. and when he did it he was whistling just like in one german movie, where there was a maniac who was whistling before he killed. and his nickname was fanch the whistler. don't be nervous. i had cousins, to whom he did all that. -you know what we, jews, are we feel nervous for nothing. how he got killed? he was shot during a control at the spanish border in 1944. do you know a man about 2 meters tall with a bandaged hand? what is it? -he struts in front of the house. damn it! a friend of mine. one bullet in front of the firing pin is empty, the other 5 are full. did you see him following you? -no, that's what i'm worrying about. don't move! don't be stupid choucas! we have your secretary. you ought to hide your weapon. -we might be detected. it's neither on my behalf nor yours. ok. i thrust my hand into my pocket to get the polaroid photo, which may arouse your interest. ok. -you'll come with me. you and the old man. to talk to my friends. if the negotiations don't begin until midnight, my colleagues have been instructed to cut off mademoiselle's fingers. understand? -you have no choice. you must agree. there's at least one thing i can do. what's that? this -i'm not sure that your reputation in the quarter improved. do you have a hammer? there must be. hammer. hammer. -did you break his nose? well,yes. i'm happy that i made you pay off old scores. in your profession it's important. you'll have this for a few weeks with a little rehabilitation. -then you'll be as good as new. unless you don't say where my girlfriend is. int that case i will have to break your arm once again, and the other one too i'm afraid. i'll do it personally and everything will go smoothly. so what do you say? -i think i asked very politely. no? yes, absolutely. were losing time, kasper. ok. -where to now? another 50meters and turn left. left. open your mouth. listen goddamn it... -open your mouth. oh my god oh my god, choucas! i feel ashamed in front of your friend. untie me from this damn bed. i'll wait for you there. -are you ok? i'm in great shape what did you think? give me a cigarette. we'll go down find your clothes and take off. deal? -did we arrive on time? at the time of sexual harassment? no, you didn't arrive on time. no doubt he went to seduce women with his plaster. moron! -what a moron! yeah? there's a question i'd like to ask. is life short? it's too short. -where are we going? i don't know. ok. there will be cops crawling all over your place. at my place too. -the same with hers. that's for sure. there is a place a bit further not far from saint-lys. i have a friend in sayen. that doesn't say anything to me. -i know where he keeps the keys to the apartment. so your friend is interested in it. where's it? trocadero. very suitable place. -what does your friend do? he's a director. short films, television. but mostly advertisement. he loves traveling. -he has made a list of the countries he has already visited and of those he has never been. he tries to find a girlfriend in every country. he's a bit half-backed. well,he's your friend after all. when is he coming back? -not earlier than 10 days. your friend got a very nice place. if you don't need me anymore, and if i may, i'll go take a bath. and what? -almost nothing. they talk about you and madrier. they've found pradier. but they see no connection. is that all? -no. at the end of the afternoon we're meeting one person whom i managed to contact. he's spaniard. he has information about fanch tanguy. and you? -what me? look... assume you checked his pockets. can't hide anything from you. we have collected a small collection. yes it's really nice. -here... identity in the name of constantini lionel born in moulins, march 1937. registration certificate, driving license. the boudriard institute lacks virtues. what's this all about? -the boudriard institute of the blind youth. pigot's daughter worked here before she disappeared. are these new? yes 100,200,350 francs 18315722 - this may be a telephone number. -we'll find out soon. 18 - 18 315722. hello? this is green hill. -monsieur tarpon speaking. say your card number. excuse me. "green hill". you'd better check it. -two metro tickets and a box of matches. empty. nuson rene eo orleans 46. we've got work to do. sometimes you annoy me. -i know, but we have some time before our meeting. would you like to play chess? no. this will calm you down. i don't want to calm down.. -what's wrong? some sort of frustration caused by the inability to resist to the opponent. oh, fine. he killed fanch tanguy. ask him if that's fanch tanguy. -who's he? tanguy. the man whom you killed at the spanish border. yes he's dead. how? -in the process of control. we stopped a car with 2 men. one of them fred, and we also began to shoot. we killed one of them the other one was arrested. we found dollars, lira, a lot of gold and golden wedding rings. -understand? and what happened to the second one? i don't know. he fled to the mountains. his fate is unknown. -is that all? yes. oh, remembered. the man who had escaped... we learned about this later. -he was a doctor. damn! that's right. duville. look where you're going locust. -asshole! they talked about you on television recently. really? about you, about those two dead bodies, about everything. they said you have clinched a deal. -they also said that the police hopes to find you in the shortest time. did the ballistic examination establish a link between the two incidents? no, it was a witness. a witness? a young man of good family driving red monte carlo. -cognitive. it's starting to smell bad. my potatoes? no. i think it's time to talk with the man who started it all. -i agree. tasty or not? just don't answer with one voice. what? my potatoes. -it's very tasty. delicious. want to know the secret? arrange the meeting on neutral territory. yes. -it is necessary to put a small melted cheese in. to whom? coccioli? i was talking about potatoes. tonight you are unbearable. -fortunately i have keko. what's that? dessert? felista. felista? -i forgot to tell you that charlotte knows a lot of fascinating words. enjoy the show. dear viewers thank you for staying with us on tf 1. and now, as promised, we'll meet with sophia loren, in the remarkable film "the devil", by jean kieukor. -it's george, stupid! george kieukor. george. tell me. i understand, you have someone. -yes. don't you think he may be worrying about you? it's not his style. don't you think you should let him know? is it ok if we talk later? -after the movie. yes. i'm sorry. that's ok. my husband doesn't really care where i am. -coccioli, choucas speaking. where are you? chew it over if you want to talk. ok, come see me then. what's the tag? -r-14, gold yellow. plate number? 88-sp-75. follow the outer lane from the side of versaille door. take the right side at 50 mph. -got it? how far shall i go? you'll ride around paris until i give you a sign i'm sick of these migraines! really? -this is awful... i can't even sleep. is that so? not here, if that's possible. don't worry! -gentlemen. something warm with mint. coffee. i'm sorry you're having health problems, well, i'm doing just fine. perhaps you are aware? -yes. if you explain to me the rules of the game, i might have even more fun. that's not a game. no, on the contrary. -we play a game of errors, omissions, anomalies. for example madrier. you almost warned me and thus saved my life. but you forgot to tell me why the srpj department was closed. why? -half of the french police is looking for me. i call you, make an appointment and you come. alone. don't tell me that's because you like me. none at all. -what is it then? damn it! you may think what you want. i don't care. you know how everything goes with police officers like me. -there are families, companies, which are formed around those who have the same skeleton in their closets. outwardly, all's well but we do nothing. in particular, we are not trying to understand with whom it begins and ends. and your problem is that one day you'll find yourself out of that company. what do you know about fanch tanguy? -before seeing the photo i'd never heard of him. let's suppose. what did the financial department encounter before it collapsed? i don't know. madrier figured out something but it had nothing to do with that. -he worked for cops from the opposition. complete nonsense. i agree. you got me into this. now i have to go to the end and i'll do it. -and you will do exactly as i tell you. i want the full record on kasper. charles pradier and madrier. so extricate yourself. i'll let you know. -i'll take care of it. do you think i should trust you? i'll take care of it myself. cocioli, you better know that if i fail i'll take you with me. sit! -ok, we'll try it another way. what are they doing here? nothing doing... damn it! follow me young people. -that's what happened! damn it! i understand you wasted my car? yes, completely i hadn't even fully paid for it. -we'll buy you a new one. easy. great. what now? nothing! -we'll see tomorrow. no, tomorrow we won't be able to move... since they'll have our large photos published in the newspapers. perhaps tonight? why? nuson rene eo -i should meet her. will you replace my bandage? if i want to. and bring me a clean shirt, will you? your friend must have a clean shirt in the drawers. -why are you so sure that because of that pursuit on the freeway our photos will be in the newspapers? because i left my gun in charlotte's car. the one used to kill madrierand pigot, great! don't irritate me. -no, in this case you can make a menacing face. i advise you to stop it and make me rather strong coffee. stop it. nuson rene? right? -right. general inspectorate of national gendarmerie. it'll take long. i know. lionel constantini. -what did he do? some stupid things. come in. would you like some rum? no thank you. -so what did he do? he was involved in a skirmish on the way to the blue fountain. is he... is he... is he dead? -is he dead? he's in the hospital. he's done to a turn, but he'll be fine. where is my glass? i'll pour you another one if you answer my questions. -ok. do you know a man named fanch tanguy? no. pradier? he's dead. -did you know him? well,yes. he worked with lionel. how long? how long? -not too long, damn it! yesterday somebody called lionel. he hung up and said that pradier was dead. i'll call the hospital. -after i finish. i don't know what you want or where you came from. i only know that you are not from the police. so what? now you'll have to convince me to answer your questions. -well,i have a great way to do that. yes, it is convincing. but be careful. only three questions, no more. like in fairy tales. -do you know a man named kasper? no. that was the first one. what is "green hill"? it's a clinic for weight loss, from the side of mian. -i met lionel there. my boss was on treatment and i accompanied him. lionel had to talk to him and he came there. that was the second one. what does your boss do? -he runs the institute for the blind youth. that was the third question. still alive? why aren't you sleeping? i was waiting for you. -"green hill" is a clinic for weight loss, from the side of... milan, i know. really? say at once that we've worked in vain. no, go on. -nothing special as usual. they stuff you with pills. you leave that place after losing 3 kg, which you gain back after the first glass of wine. exhausted and without money. there. -i smell a rat-a-big. what about you? nothing special. except what? except that i'll have to visit the blind. -what are you looking for? is haymann asleep nearby? i'm looking for a place where i could lie down. i'm just warming it up. are you making me an indecent proposal? -everything's indecent in this world. i think so too. it's quite shocking. i called george tonight. and what? -nothing. i just phoned him to say hello 2 or 3 times and hang up. kiss me. we could find out more but all this seems too complicated. we'll see but i'm not sure. -it can't be! ok, then... wait! he doesn't hear anything. how so? -he sees and hears nothing until he has drunk his coffee. one hundred percent disability. how about now? not yet. go ahead. -instead of huge images, we have the following... firefight not far from the blue fountain on page 4 one wounded, and on page 5 the car, turning to the south of pars behind the police outpost provoked an accident on the road. no link has been established. no mentioning of the 45 caliber pistol nothing. two different incidents, that's all. they're covering everything. -exactly. this way we can work at least. exactly. what does it mean? why do you think they conceal it? -to protect themselves. and if they did it deliberately to let you work, like you said... how much did you pay for the car? two million francs. too much. -with a fake car registration and plates. then it's inexpensive. it's about time. she was supposed to come out. don't worry! -the only thing... damn! what? we have nuson across the street in the green coat. she looks strange. -it's not surprising. she was drunk yesterday. if she doesn't come out in 5 minutes you'll go there. ok. there she comes. -that wasn't easy i had to act. did you see? yes i did. i said i'm looking for a job. i saw that red-haired. -yes, nuson. we saw her coming in. he was quite handsome, tall tanned bond like the cover of the magazine. he probably spends an hour under the lights every morning. furthermore polite and smiling. -pretender, so to speak. his name is jacques decrou. it was marked on the door. written. not marked, but written. -he's not feeling well. ok, hopefully nuson is so impressed with your yesterday's visit that she decides to tell her boss about it. we'll find out soon. do you know that constantini had some volvo papers in his wallet? really? -do you know that my friends are in that car? bend down! is he the director? that's him. let's take a look. -follow him chauffeur. what? i have a feeling... what happened? i thought we were following them. -we're not following them anymore. yeah? why? because i already know where they are going. do you really know where they are taking that woman? -"green hill" that's right. why aren't we going there? first we have to go to the pharmacy. do you need aspirin? -did you see that bald shorty? that volvo driver. yes. i knew i had already seen him somewhere. and i just remembered. -last time i saw him he was playing casino with albert perez. the laboratory technician from jude's pharmacy it can't be! so it was an insignificant case of an apothecary, who suspected his laboratory technician of taking money from the cash register. right? -right! and here comes the link between the pharmacist's case and pigot's mother. the same motive. you can always find a motive. what do you mean? -that this is a coincidence. elen, sweet, come here. yes, monsieur jude. where have you been? i called you several times. -have you been connected to the police by mistake? no, nobody answered. why are you talking about the police? aren't you reading newspapers? why are you asking! -just asking. where's perez? that's why i called you. he hasn't been coming since monday. he's disappeared that bastard. -that's all i wanted to know thank you. what about the case? in progress i can only say that it's not he who robs you. no? -he has found something better. how's tennis? albert perez the laboratory technician lives here. it won't take long. you can't talk! -did you see him? yes. dead? only flies are now interested in our friend perez. my god! -what am i doing? i hadn't beer clear from the very beginning... what the srpj department had found out in marseilles... i think i found what it was. "green hill" is a pseudo medical institution with it's algae treatment, laboratories and preparations. they used acetone and other similar drugs. -do you understand? so what? so what? on the basis of these medicines in a well thought but also a very simple way you can convert morphine into heroin. do you understand what i'm saying? -that's right. damn! but it doesn't explain what perez has got to do with that. he was used for the money laundering. from the outset, it seemed to me rather strange the way that bald guy played. -he did it mechanically. now i understand why the american lost to perez and the bald guy. he wasn't really losing, but paying a large sum that way. what are you going to do? get angry a bit! -who's it? you're just on time. calm down, choucas! i don't want to calm down. oh, damn it! -you're now going to tell me about perez and everything else. no... damn it choucas. i don't... i'm all ears, coccioli. perez was an informant. -i think you already know that. he was killed most likely on sunday or monday morning. stop it, choucas! that's right choucas stop it! commissioner chauffard? -in the flesh. oh no, choucas! you can't... commissioner radiolli. did your nervous attack pass? -almost. no, that was my moustier! you're disgusting. this is an old family moustier, choucas. aren't you disgusting, coccioli? -but i'm doing my best. you've come to make inquiries about the case which i no longer control.. how so? perez was my informant. really? -i knew him two years. he was quite a curious person. this perez was an honest worker by day, and an inveterate gangster by night. i think he liked that. get to the point! -5-6 months ago perezian friends... friends of perez? yes! they came to offer him a job associated with winning money in casinos and gaming halls. to me that job seemed trivial since perez was a nobody, and i didn't know that it will be a big mistake. -but by the end of the third month he had already won more than one million lire. this case was no longer insignificant, and i told everything. whom? me. it's natural, you were removed from the case within 24... -at that time i learned that perez had taken the money to a bistro. it took me 3 weeks to track down the guy who came for the money. he wasn't bad at all, a bourgeois... jacques decrou. the director of the boudriard institute not far from here. -that's right. want to know more? pigot's daughter worked in that institute. a few days later she vanishes without leaving any address. of course, it's a coincidence. -not quite. do you have any thoughts about what has happened to pigot's daughter? i think we'll find her corpse someday. and the briton fanch tanguy? red herring. -madame pigot was killed because she talked about fanch tanguy. she was killed because she was the mother of young pigot, who worked at the institute of boudriard and that's all! it's a bit simple. a bit. ok. -continue. i think i'm going to like it. perez also told me that there was a girl in the pharmacy, who took the money from the cash register, whose name was... what was it? elen? -yes. damn! what? no, nothing. go on! -perez detected you probably due to jude's negligence. and on the other hand there was pigot's mother holding me. and i had an idea. you wanted to stay clean? i wanted to be humble in this business and suddenly i said to myself: -'perhaps i shouldn't be bashful? ' course. you can always stay in your shelter and find some dupe like choucas. am i right? -well,that's the way it is. yes. just in case you're not aware coccioli i'm in great danger. the same killer who wants to kill me, has probably killed the young blind girl. of course you'll fix that on me and i'm still unaware. -what would you do if you were in their situation? tell me! just tell me! i would have skinned you as soon as possible. cop's hide doesn't worth much. -especially when it's a former police officer. i'm not saying anything. this is not surprising that you're a little nervous. bastard! you draw me into this. -i was like a bait while hunting. he's at it again. stop! stop! well do something! -look what you've done. maybe we can talk it over? ok. in front of me there are three police officers who use deceitful methods. but try to do your job at least. -for what? in order to defeat their laboratory and smash everything. and stop all this mess. we could do that, but nobody knows where their laboratory is! it's close to milan. -in a clinic for weight loss which is called "green hill". and what do you suggest? bachhoffer, professor bachhoffer. does it say anything to you? no why? -while you were talking to your friends, i got a phone call. bachhoffer-that's with 2 f. that's the doctor who was in the car with fanch tanguy back then. is it interesting? i didn't say that. -how far? we're almost there. i understand you didn't sleep well last night. that's right. commissioner haymann? -relax coccioli. i retired. but what... he's trying to ask what you're doing here. he also has another name ogien tarpon, my companion. -damn! you know best. ok. it wasn't so easy. here's the identity, driving license, false documents in the name of serge patrick bondeau. -that bondeau should arrive in the "green hill" today for a five-day treatment. here's your pass and an account of 3500 francs. nobody will reimburse this expense of mine. unfortunately. i'm sorry too. -really. but what can you do? that's the job. the most important thing is... did you find out where kasper is? -no. i had 10 men, and we couldn't find him. damn it, coccioli! i don't like it. we hoped... -he can cause a lot of trouble. that guy's dangerous. anyway he won't come out alive. you are not going there. yes, i am. -when will chauffard and his men be here? in one hour. we'll instruct them to go after you if you don't come out. let's hope so. choucas! -call charlotte and tell her if she doesn't not bake a pie until this evening, she's fired. green hill yes. serge blondeau. you were supposed to arrive at 11:00. -my car broke down. everything is possible, but all the doctors who can open the case and appoint a procedure are no longer here. at this time of the day they can only take a bath. doctors take a bath? no, those who are on treatment. -and the doctors don't work at this time. if i find a room he can stay. then he'll see the rest. room 310. serge patrick blondeau. -being disturbed by the glands high content of protein high blood pressure. you're actually experiencing all this? well yes. i'll accompany him. ok. -follow me. you will hear the call at 15:00. go down to the reception and you'll see doctor malvou. very well thank you. you're welcome. -excuse me! here. room 310. thank you. come on michelle. -move it, move it! everything's ready! the bath was clogged. but now everything's fine. ok, thank you! -excuse me i have just arrived and i've been told that it's here. what's here? doctor's cabinet. ok, but who's the doctor? malvou. -oh, come with me, come with me. he has been told many times to put a signboard or something like that. but he doesn't care. everybody thinks you should go to the right. come. -i'll show you. isn't it on the right? no, you'll see. thank you. you're welcome. -go ahead! this is surprising, kasper. i thought you had left france 48 hours ago. why 48 hours ago? since this institution is under surveillance for already two days. -go on. they'll be here in an hour. thanks for the warning. now you'll go with me without any resistance. let's go! -cuff him! we'll take care of him and the others and then we'll go. it's all over. you broke my arm, remember? don't be nervous, it'll take only a second. -no, you won't do that. i surely will. that's it. at first, the pain is unbearable, then it subsides. i know from my personal experience. -then if you don't move much, it seems quite tolerable. your friends will find you good-bye, cop! bachhoffer! martha pigot? -they have stuffed her with drugs. you looked much better when i saw you last time. we need to get out of here. they wanted to kill her, but i wouldn't let them do that. do you understand? -i think i do professor bachhoffer. baby daughter heard your whistle, and it reminded her of one story. and her mother told her everything. she's the daughter of my old friend fanch tanguy. easy! -i told you to get this over with. no. don't move! stop this nonsense, chauffard! bachhoffer died of a heart attack. -martha pigot was cured from addiction. she'll be back to the boudriard. she's ok chauffard, radiolli and coccioli... were promoted in rank. -since they helped a little. you will not be involved either for madrier's nor for mother pigot's murder. the press will be talking about you for some time for appearances sake. this is known in france. the private detective is to look after the recess as for the recess. -don't be such a drag haymann. do you know who came to the office? monsieur jude, the pharmacist. he wanted the case closed. i told him that it's already been closed... and that monsieur choucas knows who took the money from the cash register. -he blushed and stammered that he's aware of it too and that you don't have to go on with that case. and he left. what's she look like? that saleswoman, elen. is she pretty? -ok. are you leaving or staying? staying. why? just asking -i just wanted to see what you can do to a man who has a broken arm, a bandaged head with his mouth sewn up and looking at you with one eye. got you. see you tomorrow! there's something else i wanted to tell you. and it's great that you can't answer. -i would like you to know about it. even if you have nothing to do with that. it's all over between me and george. there. subtitles created by sado - -mork: na-no, na-no. ripped by mstoll oh, my stomach feels like cat drool on a dog lip. yes, this seltzer shall be the eraser on the blackboard of life. -it shall help. why am i talking like a character in a tennessee williams' play? i don't know. it doesn't matter. here. -here i go. for sure. oh, more tiny bubbles than a don ho medley. morning. little hugger squash. -happy one-month anniversary to you. oh. what do you give someone for their one-month anniversary? styrofoam. that's why i bought you a boogie board. -that's romantic. well, i have a little surprise for you. the hammond family is doing a tv special in boulder, and i'll cover the dress rehearsal. i thought you might wanna come with me. the hammond family? -oh, mind, the all-american hammonds? oh, mind. i especially love donna and mario. they're my favorite. oh, mind, that's wonderful. -that... pass. pass? but, mork, it's our anniversary. i mean, i know, but i've got millions of things to do, and i have to send a condolence card to morris, the cat's mother. -at least come down and have lunch with me. i said i was busy! whoa. aren't we snippy today. mind, i'm sorry. -you know how i get before the opening of trout season. we'll have a lovely dinner tonight, won't we, hon? maybe? okay, i accept your apology. aw. -i gotta run. well, i'll see you after work. bye. big kiss. bye. -bye, little "pooter." oh, what a performance. my stomach feels like it has a greek orthodox wedding going on in it. doctor, is that you? patient! -is that you? mork, i'm glad you called. i don't ordinarily make house calls. i had to make an exception in this case. i don't have an office. -exidor, i don't feel very well. i'm... go no further. first i need you to sign this waiver. it clears me of any wrongdoing in the event of death or permanent disability resulting from my total ignorance of the medical profession. -but you're a doctor. the only reason i became a doctor was to get md plates, so i could park in front of bloomingdale's. oh, moment, open your mouth wide. nurse ryan, will you come in, please? what are you gawking at? -haven't you ever seen a naked man before? hmm. three fifteen, that's a tad high, mork. it'd be perfect if i were a rump roast. exidor, do something just as long as i don't have to have anything shaved. -relax. you better turn your head. this might hurt a little. damn, i'm good! exidor, i feel strange and wonderful. -i feel kind of achy and... i mean... i have cravings for, like, teflon bananas. i feel kind of queasy and short-tempered! what is it? -what is it? well, either you're turning into billy martin, or you're pregnant. that's... that's... that's it. -i'm preggers. i've got a bun in the oven. nonsense! and that's me saying it. wait, wait. -no, no, no! you don't understand. you really don't understand. you see, i think i really am pregnant. i could be pregnant. -you see, an orkan and an earthling have never mated before. it's possible. you know, if it is, it's a miracle. every patient thinks that their case is special. all right, come into my consultation room. -we'll talk it over. just sit here. i feel so weak in the knees. mork... i'm pregnant, i'm really pregnant. -oh, i can't wait to tell mindy and omni magazine. mork, as your personal physician and doubles partner, i suggest that you break it to your wife gently. and work on that serve. oh. -i just felt a sharp pain, exidor. another one too. what does it mean? well, it means you're in labor and i'm playing singles. my little bundle of joy. -oh, look. my little bundle's here. oh, say hello to the world. i don't know if it's a boy or a girl. we won't know till it hatches. -oh, that's wonderful. and look, i have a navel. that's wonderful. and no stretch marks either. hello, little "nooter." -i'm a mother, and i'm gonna give you everything except an oedipus complex. and i can read harlequin books now, and stay up all night for no reason. yay! come on now. smile. -say, "cheez whiz." there you go. a picture of you and mom. oh, boy, mindy is really gonna love you. that is, if i get up the nerve to tell her that you were born. -mindy: hi, mork, i'm home. nap time. here we go. hi. -well, i've got this great idea. how to make our one-month anniversary even better than our three-week anniversary. wanna hear it? you can't really top andy warhol's 3d hamlet. "oh, what a rogue and peasant slave am i." -interesting. well, we're gonna get all dressed up, and we're gonna go out and do something we've never done before. that's fine. put on your prom dress and i'll put on my mr. peanut outfit. then we can have a very candid, sober discussion about family. -oh, mork, i wanna go out and do something romantic. like, i wanna go ride the carousel, or... i know. let's put on warm clothes, go out and make angels in the snow like in love story. the sad thing about that movie was that she became an angel before she ever had a family. -you know what's making a big romantic comeback? the family unit. don't talk to me about family units. i just spent the whole day with the hammond family, all nine of them. come on, mork, let's just go out, you and me. -i mean, we're young, we're in love, we're newlyweds. you're absolutely right, mind. maybe we should have a little tête-à-tête and then sit and talk. what's wrong with going out and having some good old-fashioned fun? we could talk in latin if you want. -mork... mind, mind. mind, mind, how can we lead such frivolous lives? i mean, when you consider what's going on in the world today. i mean, trouble in el salvador, cruise missiles. -i mean, bad line-calls against john mcenroe. and the family. why do you keep bringing up family? i'd like to have one, mind. right now. -look, mork. i wanna have a family someday just as badly as you do. but a family is something you plan for. we're just starting out. we're not really ready emotionally or financially. -my gosh, my career's just getting off the ground, and yours... well, this is america. mork, if we had a baby right now, it wouldn't be fair to the child in the long run. maybe down the road a bit. now, let's just go out, you and me, -for a good time. you don't understand. time is of the essence. pakistan has the bomb and all they have to do is roll it down the hill. mork, we just got married. -it's the time for the two of us, so let's work on that a while, all right? now, i'm gonna go get changed, and we're gonna go have a nice candlelight dinner. and then maybe go for a sleigh ride. okay? and then maybe come home and thaw each other out. -there's gotta be some way we can get you and mindy together. too bad it's not easter, huh? mindy: do you know what time it is? mork: -i swear i heard somebody. i didn't hear anything. there it is again. who could it be at this hour? maybe it's a jehovah's witness with the watchtower with the late scores. -there's nobody there. good night. it might be claude rains, mind. good night. hey, you! -come back here! mind, somebody left a baby on our doorstep. somebody would leave a... a baby? it's just an egg. -just an egg, mind? shouldn't we not be prejudiced? look. there's a note down here too. "i have left my child because i know you'll take good care of it. -you are good, kind, understanding people, especially you, mindy." let's see, it's about 2:30 a.m. yeah, i think that's a good time for an explanation. all right, mind, this is merely conjecture, but i'll give it a try. a poor, unwed mother is cast out of boston by her wasp parents. -"muffy, tad and i believe that you have to leave, but we packed your few lacoste shirts and your penny loafers." she wanders around boston, selling her own hair and a few springsteen tickets to raise enough money to buy milk for her child. that's real... that's real interesting, mork. now, how about the truth? -the truth is, mind, that she was an unwed mother from thailand whose buddhist parents said, "bung how, you have forgot your mantra for the last time." the truth. okay, you want the truth, i'll give you the truth, vérité. in your hand you are holding our child. okay. -enough for tonight. it's going back in the refrigerator. mind, mind, mind! the world is cold enough as it is. daddy didn't mean that. -mork, this would be one of your better jokes, except men don't have babies, and for sure they can't lay eggs. mind, mind, mind. you know that i am a test-tube child without a navel. and look, wait a minute, let me show you here. what's that? -see, mind, i'm telling you the truth. i'm not lying. what? wait a minute. well, you mean... -no. you mean, you and i...? when... and i? and then you...? -and here it is? you should work for reader's digest, mind. no, no, no. no, no. oh, no. -no, i have to sit down. oh, no. all right, assuming that i am not dreaming and that is our child, what is that gonna be? i don't know, but he's gonna have his own affirmative action program. i don't think there's anything that has happened to me in my life that could possibly prepare me for the fact that that is our child. -not even all the twilight zones i've watched. mind, you told me it wasn't the right time, so i tried to find other parents for it, and then i realized the best parents in the whole world would be you and i. mind, we'd love this. i mean, can we keep him? can we, mindy? -can we? well, of course we'll keep it, mork. i mean, i'd love anything you and i made together. mind, you weren't too crazy about that bookcase. that was different. -oh, mind, at last we have someone we can cherish and have someone who can test our will. i mean, someone that we can put medication out of reach of. mind, is something wrong? why would you say that? well, i've never seen anyone grit their back before. -yo, there we go! no, everything's great. mind, you're not really too convincing in that. you sound like nancy reagan saying she doesn't spend a lot of money on new dishes. oh, i don't know, mork. -it's just that i had this insane idea that when you and i decided to plan a family, i would be the one who had the baby. i don't know, i... maybe i was... i looked forward to knowing that there was a baby inside, and craving strange foods and getting fat, and not being able to see my feet. -oh, mind, come on now. just because you're not the mother, doesn't mean that it doesn't need your love. oh, i know, mork. oh, mind, mind, mind. come on, you're gonna be the prettiest, softest father a kid ever had. -thanks. i just... i just need some time to get used to this. it's just pretty strange. mind. -i... i think you'd better hurry, mind. why? because our child is growing faster than a russian athlete on steroids. oh, mork. -didn't know i could knit, huh? it's amazing with a little love how much you can grow. what is in that egg? i don't know, mind, but i hope it's healthy. i just wanna know if it's a boy, girl or pterodactyl. -pterodactyls are nice, but they're hard to potty-train once they're airborne, you know. oh, mork. how can you be so calm? don't you think that thing is a little gigantic? well, some people show more than others, mind. -when do you think it's gonna arrive? well, by the look, about 24 hours. twenty-four hours! but humans get nine months. elephants get two years. -i get 24 hours? it takes longer than that to get peking duck. boy, he can sure kick, mind. are you related to bruce lee? i guess there's not much for me to do at this birth. -come on now. you've gotta be a parent too. now, come over here and touch it. now just pat it. you know, put your arms around it. -have you hugged your egg today? oh, mork, i feel silly. you should. i told you to hug an egg. come on, come on, come on. -it's nice and warm. it should be. i sat on it all night. i can hear a heartbeat. why don't you talk to it? -oh, i don't think so. oh, come on now, mind. you talk to your plants including that wandering jew. "where are we today? i don't know." -hello. this is mindy, your mother. uh, your father. one of your parents. i feel like shari lewis without lamb chop. -mind, isn't it wonderful? we're parents now. we get to say things like, "don't put that in your mouth! you don't know where it's been!" -that's true. mind, have you thought of a name yet? well, yeah. i'd kind of like to name it beth, after my mother. if it's a girl. -and it doesn't have wings. i have a certain sentimental attachment... attachment to a name if it's a boy. what's that? rodan. -no, i don't think so. oh, a little too ethnic? well, how about jennifer, or maybe mustafa joaquin? oh, mork, how are we gonna explain to people that you laid an egg, and we hatched a baby? and only after one month of marriage? -we'll tell them we had to get married. i've been thinking about this and i think we should keep this our little secret. mind, are you ashamed of our child? oh, no. no, mork, but what if somebody found out it was part alien? -who knows what they'd do to it? and then they'd find out you're an alien and who knows what they'd do to you? federales! federales! shh. -who is it? bickley: a sad and desperate man. oh, no, it's mr. bickley. uh... -uh, we'll be right there. we're not decent. bickley: i don't wanna see you. i wanna talk to you. -what do we do? the bedroom. no, not now. we have company, mind. i meant the egg. -i know that. i was trying to give a little comic relief in these moments of tension. easy, easy, gentle, gentle. mind, mind, mind. uh, we'll be right there. -be careful. mindy: uh-oh. oh, no. why do i feel like we're at a company picnic on saturn, mind? -i'm counting to five. open the door, or i'm climbing into the trash compactor. i think it's beginning to crack. oh, mind, i'll stay here with the egg. i think it's almost time now. -i hope all this rolling around hasn't turned him into a quiche. look, i'll get rid of mr. bickley. hi, mr. bickley. what a nice suit. thanks, i'm about to be buried in it. -oh, mr. bickley, you dropped in at a bad time. i was washing my hair. please, mindy, i don't wanna talk about it. oh, then i respect your feelings. -bye. i met dorinda at a club med luau. the second i laid eyes on her, i knew i had to make her mine. sure, she was a lot younger than me, but she loved older men. oh, it is a nice story, mr. bickley, but maybe you can tell me it tomorrow. -our romance blossomed, and we decided to get married. so last night i took her to meet dad. that's when the trouble started. oh, your father objected? no, she ran off with him. -that's too bad, mr. bickley. "too bad"? you call that pity? where's mork? oh, uh... -uh, mork's in the bedroom having breakfast. rice krispies. hi, bick. nice suit you got there. how's life treating you? -it all started when i met dorinda at a club med luau. she told me she loved... what? what is that noise? oh, i'm just listening to my exorcist soundtrack. -little linda's head is just starting to spin around. mind, could you give me a little moral support and maybe a ball-peen hammer? what's going on in there that's more important than me? no! you don't wanna go in there. -it will only remind you of dorinda. oh, you're right. everything does. i'll never be able to look at my family album, or eat suckling pig again. mr. bickley, you've got to know that those gray skies are gonna clear up. -so put on a happy face and remember, there's always more fish in the sea. but i want a girl just like the girl that ran off with dear old dad. mindy, i don't wanna upset you, but i think there's a great big nest over there. what? don't you see it? -yes. what is it? it's a great big nest. what the hell is it doing there? boy, is mork gonna be upset. -his pet condor got away. why do i come here? it's going to happen. you don't wanna miss this like you did beverly sills at marineland. this is it, mind. -isn't it much nicer having the baby at home rather than in a hospital? now, it's important that we don't panic, and if we panic, it's important we're not loud. i just hope it's healthy. i just hope it doesn't eat the bedroom set. i love you, mind. -i love you too, mork. it's a boy. it's a man! ripped by mstoll i was working as a piano player... in a posh, international restaurant, in a tower-shaped hotel with a wonderful view over paris. -it could have been montreal, zurich or anywhere. there'd be the same proportion of americans, japanese, saudis... with the same weary eyes, tired from counting all their money. i could play them anything... gershwin, chopin, art tatum... they didn't listen. -all they wanted was something not too noisy... just a bit of atmosphere, something soft and velvety... to go along with their wine, shrimp cocktails, and t-bone steaks. so i played for myself. old bud powell tunes... trying to get them into it, but never succeeding. because i never succeeded at anything. i'd given myself till age 30 to be successful in life... and i was 29 and a half. -i had 6 months left. meanwhile, i got 250 francs a night, and a meal... plus all i could drink. i was happy. the only problem was i'd just been hired... and the bastards wouldn't give me any advance. i could hardly wait for the end of the week for my pay... and for the night to end, to go to bed. -around midnight, the place would empty out. then there'd usually be one lovestruck couple, lost in the moment, that i'd bring safely into port with my magic keyboard. who knows what goes on in a pianist's head... while he plays a tune and you sip your champagne. maybe he's in love, too... or sad... because his wife is waiting for him, or she doesn't wait any more because she just left him... or she's going to leave him. where are you going? -i have an appointment. who with? a photographer. what photographer? you always see photographers, but i never see any photos. -not everyone is as talented as you. thanks. thanks a lot. so it took you 8 years to realize my music was crap? please, i'm trying to put my makeup on. -who'll hire me looking like this? i know my music's not great. so what? that can change. people may think it's boring now, but they'll like it some day. -things change. i used to turn you on, and now i don't. imagine that phenomenon reversed. it's unpredictable. who knew things would end between us? -was that predictable? when everyone envied us? what if you stayed with me? what for? to be together. -we're never together. you're sleeping when i get home. when you get up, i'm sleeping. when i'm awake, you go see photographers. i barely have time to watch you dress. -i never see you undress. martine... what? i get paid at the end of the week. i need pocket-money, rémi! -a woman needs things: a skirt, shoes... otherwise she loses her sparkle. she dries up! they're not hiring you any more! so why persist? -this time it might work. how come? it's a partial shot. of what? a bra. -you're doing lingerie now? you said you'd never do that. got anything better? got a concert? no. -i do body shots because they don't want my face! they all want younger models! any gas in the car? i doubt it. do you have any money? -is that all? and you? what will you do? is it in second gear? yes! -stay home with me! the car's on my side. it won't take you. will you please push? battery's dead! -everything's dead! i just want a push! i liked her face a lot. photographers are creeps! she's too good for them. -for me too, in fact. oh shit! mom's not here?

-all right... if that's how you take it... we might think about the person most concerned... marion! we might try finding out what she wants. i don't think she wants to change her life. -we could wait a while before uprooting her. she has her routine... her home... her school, her friends... listen, it's time to cut the bullshit. you've done enough damage. now you can leave us alone! -marion is my daughter, okay?

you're not ordinary... -your parents have left you and you've quit school... working all day at the age of 14 isn't ordinary. really? of course! i'm sure some kids do. -i could still be considered ordinary. sumida! don't worry, i'm here for you! you have nothing to worry about! it'll be okay... -it'll be okay. it'll be okay. don't look so grim! smile! smile! -i'm hungry. whoops, i'm sorry. sorry! sorry. thanks. -hey, watch where you're going. who are you?

-curriculum. the psychologist at the hospital knows you are my half-brother, idiot. you have been a very driven kid. great, my battery will end. speaking at the devil. -i think it is for you. we brought two boys. if you touch her i'll kill you! now it looks like mom. watch out. -put your gun on the dashboard. pull the trigger. do you really want i pull the trigger?

-she's fine. you explain your fingerprints on it? what is this? a torch battery which we find out of the house of mrs. anderson. hello how are you? -accepted donuts? no, thank you. are you sure? i. they are fresh and hot. -i love this style halle berry. azar hers. jerry. i brought donuts. i know you like donuts. -my god! nurse! nurse! get in there! emergency -three weeks later "i did not wake her. i made coffee. happy to be my new roommate. " my god! -are you still mine ... welcome to beltway burgers. can i have your order, please? yeah, i'll take a number ten. extra pickles, extra cheese and extra large fries. -hey, honey. where are you? i'm just getting off the interstate. $6.50. next window. -like yell you are. i heard that. you're breaking your diet again. no, i'm not. your cholesterol's through the roof. -honey, really... what are you doing this for? you promised me you'd take better care of yourself. oh, come on. you know what your doctor said. -no. if you don't get it down, you'll be sorry. one burger's not going to kill me. victor... oh, you know what, look, i got another call coming in. -i'll call you back. victor, don't you dare...! she's worried about my health. ahh! == sync, corrected by elderman == -twelve... thirteen... fourteen... fifteen. don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon. way to kick a man when he's down, probie. i cannot wait to hear this. -what's going on? found 15 hairs in my shower drain this morning. i tell you this because you're my friends, and i need you. for the past 12 years, every morning i have counted the hairs in my drain, and there have never been more than five. never more than five. -never. every day? for the last 12 years? you say that like it's not normal. well, that is not normal. -what is not normal is a man of my vim and vigor going bald. well, bald can be very sexy. sure, i mean, if you're connery or nicholson. would you ever date a bald man? i have dated men with thinning hair, yes. -thinning hair, but not... eck-eck. baldy mcbald. hi, special agent baldy mcbald here. want to go to mount baldy this weekend and do bald things? bald. -tony, you're not going bald. says the man with emerging androgenetic alopecia. with what? you have a little thin patch on your vertex. on my what? -you got a little bit of the skin yarmulke happening, tim. i thought i noticed i was getting thin up there. yeah, everyone's noticed. you two are being ridiculous. everyone's hair thins. -it's barely noticeable. and it's not like you guys are going gray. i'm so glad that wasn't me. gray can be really sexy. yeah, gibbs. -lucky. uh-huh. dead body? no, worse. where we going? -nowhere. here you are. thank you. what are you doing here? i was going to ask you the same thing. -she called both of us. that can't be good. you have any idea what it's about? no. i can't drink that. -pass. yeah, i'll probably need something stronger. i heard that. since when have you needed an excuse to drink more than you should, agent fornell? nice to see you, too, mrs. sterling. -agent gibbs, thank you for coming. both of you. i didn't know who else to call. figured that... when you called us. -i need your help. victor didn't come home last night. that's a record, even for you. only married six months? okay, tobias, please, not now. -you guys have a fight? no. did you call the police? you know as well as i do it's too soon for them to do anything. what do you want us to do? -i want you to look into it. okay, i know what you guys are thinking, but victor is not the kind of man to just disappear. i'm not sure how to say this... i do. look, we're not your personal buddy-cop investigative service. -no. you're just my ex-husbands. and i need your help. the last time i spoke with victor was 10:00 p.m., last night. he was working late. -homeland security, right? paper pusher? data storage coordinator. sounds important. it's not. -and he likes it that way. he's not married to his work. he's married to his wife. it's a novel concept for the two of you, i'm sure. was he at the office when you spoke? -no, he had stopped at some fast-food joint. he thinks i don't know, but i can smell it on him. i'll bet. what is that supposed to mean? it means i wouldn't go home either if i was covered in bacon grease and there was a bloodhound waiting. -look, diane, we're trying to help. we have no evidence of a crime. you haven't even looked yet. my team is checking hospitals; they're running victor's credit card. -you have to accept the chance that victor might be taking a little break. the three of us know it wouldn't be the first time. no, it's not like this was. victor and i have a good relationship. he knows how to treat a woman. -he's not afraid to show his emotions like some people. she talking about us? he's not some immature child that relates better to guns than to people. okay, okay, we get it. look, i know there's no love lost between us. -well, that's not... zip it, you. but i know you both, and if your guts weren't telling you there was something to this, i wouldn't be sitting here right now. hey, boss. -agent fornell. ma'am. what? red hair. we got a hit on victor's credit card. -beltway burgers in dc. 10:00 p.m. last night. that's federal jurisdiction. anything else? yeah. -there was a 911 call made from the same place about a half hour ago. morning crew found a bloodbath. two males. gunshots to the head. both local dc residents. -that guy's got good hair. nothing's missing from the register. security footage? mm-hmm. car in the drive-thru is registered to victor sterling. -i don't suppose he was hiding in the trunk? no, but i did find his wallet and a gun near the car. i hate telling diane she's right. sorry i'm late, jethro. would you mind pointing that somewhere else? -late night, duck? i haven't been sleeping well this past week. enough said. my bodies are on ice. how considerate. -gibbs, security footage was erased. violent take-over, two dead guys, missing homeland security official. you know what i'm thinking? victor was so desperate to get away from diane, he had himself kidnapped? that would make more sense than the alternative. -hi. thomas pearce, homeland security. i came as soon as i got your call. however, i only budgeted 20 minutes for the meeting, so... who's this clown? -what's the alternative? that someone actually wanted to kidnap victor. he works for homeland security. someone might find that interesting. you know, like terrorists? -homeland security? yep, homeland security. nice hair. the only thing he ever had access to at homeland were pencil inventories and mileage logs. what i find interesting is how the same woman landed both gibbs and fornell. -why? they're very much alike. i don't think so. gibbs is wild savannah. untamed. -this diane lady must have serious game to have landed a wild beast like that. wonder what her game is. we still need to see whatever he was working on. of course. one of your employees has gone missing. -you don't seem too concerned. oh, i am. at least i will be after this conference call. i have to inform our entire data services department we're officially switching over to a dual-layer dvd backup medium. ooh. -we got our own problems. we still need to tell diane about her husband. not much to tell yet. yeah, that's the problem. yeah. -well, good luck with that. be nice. i'm going to go over to the bureau, run background on our two victims. i'm a bald version of you... oh! -took you long enough. what do you got? questions, and lots of them. shoot. okay, first up: -how quickly after you and diane got a divorce did she start dating fornell? because that must have been, you know, awkward. um, okay, so we'll just, we'll just circle back to that one. question number two: were you jealous? -okay, so i see you're not ready to talk about this yet. um, can i get a do-over? what do you got, abbs? security footage. which was erased. -it was, but not securely. so i'm working on reformatting the data. i had more success with the gun that you found. it is registered to victor sterling, and it has been fired maybe for the first time. which reminds me-- did it bother you when diane chose a husband so opposite to you? -abbs! sorry. victor's prints were on the gun, so it looks like he did put up some sort of fight. the most interesting thing that i found is what i didn't find. victor's wallet was obsessively organized. -but one card was missing. now, leather deforms when it's compressed, and it takes hours for it to return to its prior shape. based on the amount of residual deformation, that card was removed almost the same time as the murders. any idea why? no. -like i said, i have more questions than answers. where's gibbs? down in abby's lab. where's her? diane? -getting something to eat. hope she kills it first. yeah, she's pretty fiery. can't be all bad. you married her. -don't remind him. got background on our two dead burger employees. one's a navy reservist. guess that makes it official now. ncis-fbi joint case. -a marriage of sorts, if you will. sorry. the other's an aspiring model, recently divorced. you check the ex-wife? it was an amicable split. -imagine that. 50-50 down the line. whereas you and i had our bank accounts cleaned out. she even took your grandfather's watch. let it out. -just let it all out. i'd rather you didn't. we finished the background search on victor sterling. pretty much what diane said. he grew up in chicago, went to college at uw-madison. -joined homeland security five years ago. lives a simple, modest life. except? nothing modest about his bank accounts. at least the ones he has taken great pains to hide. -oh, victor. he has dozens of offshore bank accounts. the guy is loaded. where'd it all come from? not what i'm wondering. -why is he hiding it? oh... oh... two dead bodies, a missing homeland security agent and a lot of cash. maybe that's what made him a target. did you ask his wife about the money? -not yet. are you going to? he can. he can. i don't think she knows about it. -well, have fun finding out, agent fornell. i spoke to your boss. we have a dead naval reservist, but kidnapping is your territory. fine with me. agent fornell will take the lead.. -excuse me? works for me. well, it doesn't for me. any chance we can flip for it? no. -national security trumps your ex-wife issues. she can't be all bad. you married her. stop! ma'am, you can't go in there! -when the hell were you going to tell me? speak of the devil. you must be mrs.... $2 million? victor has $2 million? boss, she made me tell her. -who needs enhanced interrogation? what else haven't you told me? we can talk about this downstairs. what, do you have a basement here, too, mr. woodchuck? mrs. sterling, i'm director vance. -rest assured my agents are doing everything possible to find your husband. thank you. just make sure they keep me informed, too. wasn't any fun trying to pry information out of macaulay culkin here. that's victor's wallet. -oh, my god, there's blood. it's not his. if it had just been a robbery, they would have taken his wallet, right? they did take one of his cards. we don't know which, though. -which slot was it in? excuse me? driver's license, atm card, visa, photo of shannon, cash, in that order. tri-fold wallet. -starting from the left side, condom beneath the fold... okay, we got it. excuse me. do you know what victor keeps here? didn't have a name on it, but i remember the logo. -huh. man's wallet is his kingdom. the snooping says a lot about gibbs' ex. well, maybe victor did something to deserve her lack of trust. after all, he is hiding something. -agent dinozzo, i presume? curtis hubley, day manager. agent david. you're really hot. thank you. -you don't get out much, do you, bud? not really. this is victor sterling, homeland security. have you seen him? yeah. -he's here once every few months for his routine inspection. what does he inspect? our systems. we're an off-site data storage facility for the local homeland security office. we back up their, uh, accounting data, personnel records, noncritical stuff. -victor in some kind of trouble? well, we believe that he has been kidnapped, yes. that's terrible. so you want to get a drink, talk about it? no. -i figured that. any idea why victor was kidnapped? not yet. but the access card that he used for this place is missing. we would like you to check to see if anyone has used it. -sure. yeah. that's easy enough. you have the... softest-looking skin. -now you're getting creepy. i know. i'm sorry. i'm working on it. okay. -victor. access card. here you go. good job. got me a little excited. -card was used just last night around 12:00. that was after he was taken. mm-hmm. we have security footage. it's normally offline for maintenance at midnight, but we switched the schedule. -pull it up. yeah. it's on a different system. be back in a flash. i think he likes you. -got it. here you go. that's the entrance to the server room. is there another angle? you got it. -blow that up. uh-huh. oh. can you freeze that? yup. -that's victor. mm-hmm. anything else i can do for you, baby? got to tell you, i never saw this coming. but it is somewhat satisfying. -sterling entered the facility at 12:14 a.m. this morning. two hours after he disappeared from the fast food restaurant. once inside, downloaded a single file. what'd he take? we're not sure yet because he erased the file header when he logged out. -mcgee said it was just a bunch of numbers. numbers? he thinks it's accounting-related. maybe a budget. he and abby are working on it now. -well, he is a glorified accountant. yeah, with two million bucks in the bank. what are you thinking? embezzlement? you guys would know better than anyone what he's up to. -yeah? why is that, dinozzo? you were both married to his wife. i'm not following you. well, she must have a type, right? -so, you must have a lot in common with victor. nothing. couldn't be more opposite. in fact... -if i may interject, someone should talk to diane to make sure that victor has not tried to contact her. she has a point. yeah, she does. and you got lead. hey. -hey. hey, hey, hey. where are you going? isn't the conference room the other way? that's why i'm headed to autopsy. -dinozzo, determine whether victor had any contact with diane. divorce is as old as hammurabi, whose code allowed it almost 4,000 years ago. other countries took a little longer to catch up. for instance, in ireland, divorce wasn't legalized until 1997. thank god i'm not irish. -can you imagine being stuck with her? don't have to imagine. we are. unless you can pull a rabbit out of that body, duck. mm. -sorry. this man's last meal consisted solely of fried cheese. but there are some things to note. the first is an oddity concerning rope burns where the victims' hands were bound. i don't see any rope burns. -well, that's the oddity. both victims' wrists were tied, yet neither apparently struggled. sedated? negative. it's highly unusual not to see some signs of a struggle-- unless, of course, they were feigning captivity. -they weren't feigning being shot in the head. perhaps they just outlived their usefulness. are you suggesting the crime scene was faked, ducky? to just make it look like victor was abducted? yeah, well, the theory casts a new light on this. -abby ran ballistic tests on the bullets that killed these two. they were fired from victor's gun. oh, well, that's just peachy. unless, of course, the killer used victor's gun for the murders. or he is the murderer. -and you've had absolutely no contact with your husband since the last phone call? i have already told you no. this is such a waste of time. where are leroy and tobias? leroy? -yes, leroy. you do know your boss's name. of course i do. just never heard it pronounced that way. how do you pronounce it? -gibbs. and he's busy. i just have a few more questions. true or false. you're an exceptionally good cook. -excuse me? cook. food. you like to cook? oh, my god. -you're trying to figure out why leroy married me. no. wow, you're a terrible liar. i'm a fantastic liar. just not very good at it right now. -i could tell you why leroy married me... but you have a job to do, and... you wouldn't be able to concentrate the rest of the day if i do. i think that ship's already sailed. leroy, what's with the 20 questions from your agent? victor is now a suspect in our investigation. is that a joke? -uh... this was taken at a data storage facility after victor disappeared. and his gun was used in the murders at the drive-through. i-i don't understand. neither do we. i do. -and i wish i didn't. bad news, gibbs. we were able to identify the data that victor downloaded. it was just numbers, but it wasn't a budget. it was a recipe. -for what? for a virus. one that could kill a lot of people. this is the data victor downloaded. so what we thought were budget numbers is actually a numerical representation of a virus genome. -that make sense to you? no. it's simple. dna is just a code. when we sequence it, we figure out what the code is, and then we store it as a series of numbers. -gibbs, you remember carol? uh, she's a lab tech at the v.a. infectious disease program office. what's your name, cutie? tobias. -i'm old enough to be your father. i asked carol to try to help me id which virus this genome belongs to. ebola variant ruv-76. the usual stuff-- you bleed from every orifice. -it disintegrates your organs, and then you die. from numbers? well, that's all these were ten years ago when they were sequenced and stored and forgotten in some warehouse. but times have changed. it's now possible to build a synthetic virus from scratch using a numerical recipe just like this and gene sequences you can get online. -i keep saying it-- things were better before the internet. how bad? it's bad, but the good news is, this variant is only spread by touch and it's too virulent to cause a pandemic. which is a nice way of saying people die too quickly to spread the disease too far. doesn't make sense, gibbs. -victor strike you as a terrorist? no. i mean, he's a paper pusher, not a mass murderer. embezzlement i'll buy. maybe this is his big score. -i mean, if terrorism was his goal, there were way deadlier viruses to steal in this database. this virus is tactical. it would make the perfect weapon. it'd be worth millions if he found the right buyer. he doesn't want to use it. -he wants to sell it. but first he has to build it. and there's only one place in the area that has the ability to create man-made viruses. right. lot of pricey equipment here to just leave the front door open. -noticed. man down! smells like a morgue. where is everybody? found them. -they tried to shoot their way out. didn't get very far. looks like they built the virus. and took it with them. ziva says the hazmat teams are clearing the lab now. -ducky will be able to autopsy the bodies soon. i think we know what killed them. ids? well, the lab id'd the two techs. we id'd the other two. -got dwight kilborn and jeremiah ness. both ex-special forces. both have been freelancing for mercenary groups for the last ten months. been doing more than that. abby was able to reconstruct part of the erased security tapes from the burger place. -gunmen look familiar? that's what i was talking about. see? that's the thinning part on the vertex. those are our stiffs from the lab. -they hit a fast food joint one night, then they end up dead in a lab the next? what gives? victor doesn't look in charge to me. looks like a victim. could be what we're supposed to think. -what do you mean? well, these guys are pros. they had to know we'd be able to reconstruct the videotapes. which means we'd see victor getting grabbed. aka victim. -seriously? victor fakes his own kidnapping, then he steals a deadly virus, and then uses that to kill his own crew? how devious is this guy? wouldn't be the first time she married the wrong guy. of course, he's not the only one keeping secrets. -you didn't tell them? what? well, you had told us to back-check victor and diane, and we came up with some discrepancies. what discrepancies? diane had mentioned in passing she never left the country. -yeah, and? well, being extremely diligent, i checked her pnr, and it places her in the cayman islands in '04, then again in '06. are you sure? well, the only reason i mention it is because the caymans are the money-laundering capital of the world. wait, wait, wait. -she may be the spawn of satan, but she's also the mother of my child. no way diane is involved. rule 69: never trust a woman who doesn't trust her man. keep digging. -how deep? till you get to the bottom. you son of a bitch! how dare you! what the hell are you doing poking into my private life? -! doing my job. i'm not the one who's missing, victor is! you knew i was coming. no. -tell me about the caymans. ancient history. have you been just waiting for this all these years? an opportunity to twist the knife in? no. -no, that's your specialty. your way of getting even with me for leaving you? should give you a medal. yeah, well, if there is a medal, i do deserve it for staying so long. -it wasn't easy being a human anti-depressant. what, you didn't think i knew? you just married me to get over shannon? sorry. that, that was... -i'm scared, leroy. then tell me about the caymans. i met someone in '04. he had a place in the caymans. i had a husband who, uh, was never around. -this guy paid attention to me. that's all i ever wanted, you know? from you or tobias. just somebody to be there, you know? so you married him? -yep, six months ago. by the way, thanks for the waffle iron. victor loves it. leroy, whatever... you think victor's involved in, you're wrong. just find him and you'll see. -just... find him. please? why didn't you tell her i was here? why didn't you? diane and i were still married in '04. -i know. she cheated on me with victor. now we really gotta find the son of a bitch. yeah, it's gibbs. boss. -yeah, mcgee? i got a break off a cell from one of the dead gunmen. got a location on the last call it made. where? it's an abandoned warehouse in anacostia. -tony's on his way. no, no, no! you're driving. come on. let's go. -ncis! fbi! dsc! dsc? data storage coordinator, department of homeland security! -leroy? tobias? thank god. it's a hell of a rat trap, jethro. yeah. -they got me chained. whew. not too bad for two guys who missed the wedding. work. you're forgiven. -thank you. hey! get over here, leroy. hey, hey, hey. why exactly am i being debriefed in an interrogation room? -okay, i can, i can explain that. oh, you got a lot of explaining to do, lucy. they told me if i didn't get their virus, they would kill diane. who? i don't know. -i was blindfolded. they tell you to commit murder, too? come on, guys, i'm being set up! they made it look like i staged my own kidnapping. kept me alive so i could be the fall guy. -you can't see that? what i see is a career bureaucrat who's got way too much money in the bank. most of it hidden offshore. in the caymans, where you like to take a lot of vacations... with other people's wives! -oh, is that what this is about? hey, sit down. no, i won't sit down! you guys had your chance with diane and you blew it! this has nothing to do with me or her. -and i had nothing to do with that! mrs. sterling! sit down or i'll make you sit down! ma'am... back off, macaulay! -get the hell away from him! boss, i'm sorry. i tried to stop her. diane, i am so glad to see you. you get the hell away from me! -$2 million dollars? and i've been worried about how we're gonna pay the mortgage? you're on your own. well? it's family money. -i inherited it years ago, long before we met. keep talking. when you have a lot of money, it's hard to tell who your friends are. and with women, it's even harder. so i took the cash and i invested it and i forgot about it. -it's our nest egg, baby. i was gonna surprise you when i retired. so, basically, you couldn't believe that i would love you if you were rich? you didn't trust me, but you married me anyway? ! -i am gonna make your life a living hell! diane, i'm okay, baby. i'm safe now. i was so scared! -it's okay, okay. it's okay. it's okay. oh, diane, i love you so much. oh, i love you so much. -you all right? i'm okay. i'm okay. okay. okay, don juan. -i'm going to be fine. if you're not selling the virus, then who is? selling it? i thought you guys knew. we knew what? -they're not planning on selling the virus. they're planning on using it. thank god you're all right. and i want to let you know that you're gonna be getting overtime for this entire ordeal. sit. -i've a alerted secnav. agent david said you think the attack's today. are you sure? go on, tell him. there was the brains of an old lx 57433-x in the storage room where they were keeping me. -a what? it's an old office voicemail system from the '90s. i was in charge of requisitions for the cbo in '97, so i was familiar... cut to the chase. i was able to use the 433-x to patch into an old intercom panel. -i could just make out one of my captors talking to someone. warning them to stay indoors today. with a deadly virus, that can only mean one thing. any idea what the target is? no. -yeah, abbs, go ahead. i might have a lead on their target. i'll be right down. abby thinks she has a lead. go. -i'll call secnav back. mr. pearce, you hit homeland. fornell, fbi. got it. hi. -hey. i got a lead on the conversation that victor overheard. this is the old phone that he used to macgyver into the intercom system. it converts analog signals into digital ones, and then it stores it briefly in ram... abbs, i don't care. -what do you got? i was able to pull the last few seconds of the conversation. stay indoors tomorrow and as far away from... so, whatever it is, tomorrow is today. yeah, we know. -there's more. ...and as far away from the game as you can. "the game." i searched the google, and there's only one in town today. armed forces football game. -yeah, biggest one of the year. there'll be, like, 60,000 people there. virus is spread by touch; they can't hit them all. oh, i'm not so sure, gibbs. -this was found in the warehouse where victor was held. it's used to... powderize milk. my uncle had one of these on his farm. of course he did. -anyways, it's clean now, but i found traces of the virus in it, so we have to assume that it's also been powderized. which means? which means that it's transmissible by air now. every single person at that stadium is at risk, gibbs. got it, abbs. -thanks. welcome to the 2011 armed forces football game, the annual charity event which brings together all five branches of the military. this year the armed forces also has to take on monroe university. dignitaries and officials of all branches... -three minutes to kickoff. yes, sir. right this way. it's not too late to evacuate. we evacuate, they release the virus. -come on through. right through here. yes, sir. come on through. abby says we're looking for a pressurized container, should be in a public place. -dinozzo, mcgee. sweeping the tunnel. on it, boss. yeah, it's gibbs. gibbs, we have a problem. -figured. i finished processing the virus on the powderizing machine. there's not enough for a large-scale attack, only, like, a few dozen people. maybe we were wrong about the location. we're not. -nothing here, either, mcgee. give me that. hey, mcgee. vip list-- who's at the game today? hang on, boss. -checking. a lot of bigwigs. luxury box is filled with top brass from all five military services. boxes. got it. -got to be our target. gibbs. ziva. all-stars kick off, and we're under way. check him. -hey, what do you see? two of them-- 30 yards. working the vents. ready? condom underneath the fold? -really, tobias? same one i had in college. i never used it. just like what it represents. hope? -pearce! ncis! fbi! now! homeland security. -son of a bitch. congratulations. but you haven't done anything here today. you don't even know what you're fighting for. suddenly i'm not feeling very homelandy or secure. -i want answers. a homeland security employee just tried to commit an act of terrorism. not a terrorist attack, leon, just supposed to look like one. it was a targeted assassination. who? -our top military policy makers. all in town to preside over a massive drawdown of our military forces. got a hit list off pearce's computer. who was he working for? good question. -with billions at stake, a lot of guys don't want to see that drawdown happen. guys like these. mcgee found contacts with all of them on pearce's computer. doesn't mean they're involved. but it's a good bet our bad guy is on this list. -someone must have promised pearce quite a cozy position when he moved to the private sector. beware the military-industrial complex. next part of this investigation is gonna step on a lot of toes. you left me a bone sandwich, gibbs. i cut the crust off for you. -fbi does have the lead. good luck, agent fornell. thanks. ah, cheer up, tobias. at least you'll never have to talk to diane again. -i have a child with her. oh, that's right. guess i won't have to. i'm out of bourbon. i didn't come for a nightcap. -i know you used to come down here to avoid me, leroy. i didn't mean to hurt you. i know. i wasn't the easiest person to live with. i'll agree with that. -thank you for finding victor. he saved a lot of people. good man. would you... tell tobias that i never meant to hurt him? oh, yeah, he knows. -i think. i really liked him. but i never should have married him. i didn't love him. just like you never loved me. -i liked you. i still do. but the only woman you'll ever love is shannon. you were my shannon, leroy. == sync, corrected by elderman == -ogladaj legalnie, polecaj i zarabiaj – vodeon.pl should i buy a new tv? or should i buy one of those massage chairs? ah! tough life. -what are you wearing? mall pants. what kind of pants? mall pants. pants you wear at the mall-- as a sign of respect. -so why aren't you wearing a shirt? too much respect. it's the mall, not church. also, i can't afford a shirt. i suppose i could buy the tv and just go somewhere for a massage. -whoa. uh-oh. my mall pants! you know what? i'm just going to buy both. -no mall underwear, huh? keep the change. ehh, what's up, doc? oh, uh, just granting people's wishes. daffy, you can't steal coins from the fountain. -well, then, where do you suggest i steal them from? i suggest if you need money, you get a job. they're hiring at the ice cream shop. give me a job application. name? -address? gender? what is this, soviet russia? yeah, i don't want to work here anyway, not in that stupid uniform. i'll take a banana split. -unh. one scoop vanilla, one scoop chocolate, one scoop strawberry. unh. put the strawberry in the middle. and now, hot fudge. -unh! only on the vanilla and chocolate, put regular fudge on the strawberry. now, some whipped cream. hey, hey, hey! easy. -little more. little more. little more only on the vanilla. kind of fill in that space right there. stop. -now, some nuts. unh. no nut dust. yes green sprinkles on the strawberry. but both no red sprinkles, except on the vanilla, which should receive exclusively red sprinkles. -that'll be $5.85. i've only got 16 cents. get the rest from your tip jar. where do you get all your money? i invented the carrot peeler. -you invented the carrot peeler? daffy, i've told you a million times. where do you get all your money? i invented the carrot peeler! where do you get all your money? -i invented the carrot peeler. where do you get all your money? i invented the carrot peeler. so let me get this straight. you invented the carrot peeler, and now, you have enough money to buy whatever you want whenever you want? -inventing something is the perfect get-rich-quick scheme. it's not a scheme. invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. well, i'm not big on sweating, so i'm just going to cut to the chase on this one. how's it coming in there? -i did it. i invented something so spectacular that every man, woman, and child will wonder how they ever survived without it. you know when you want bread, but you don't want the whole loaf? i call it... daffy duck's equally sized bread pieces. -the rest of the world calls it sliced bread. ok. you know after you've gone to the bathroom, you sometimes wish you had something to help you-- you know, clean up, like a flushable paper product of some sort? daffy, are you telling me that you don't use toilet paper? mine was going to be called butt paper! -once again, it pays to have invented the carrot peeler. ahem. oh, sorry. they say history repeats itself. well, wouldn't it be amazing if you could visit the past and see what really happened for yourself? -of course, to do this, there would need to be a device, a portal in which your molecular structure was broken down and then reassembled in the exact same manner. you invented a time machine? no. but if there was such a thing, and you used it a lot, you'd probably need... a big box with a handle on it to carry your stuff. -a suitcase. everything's been invented. inventing something is impossible. how did you do it? well, first, you have to be passionate about something. -next. i happen to be passionate about carrots. i put all my ideas into this notebook, and one of them turned into a little thing called the carrot peeler. now, if you'll excuse me, i have a check to deposit. -let's see what else he's got in here. that's the most brilliant idea bugs ever had. i mean, that's the most brilliant idea i ever had. what's so funny? you know, i invented that. -ooh. i better get home. they're delivering my massage chair. hey! get your automatic carrot peeler. -excuse me, darling. may i interest you in an automatic carrot peeler? i already have a carrot peeler. it works great. aha, but with my machine, you could peel carrots at super speed, leaving more time for you and your beautiful daughter. -he's a boy. yes, of course, a strapping, masculine boy. you know, my machine peels hundreds of carrots in mere seconds. who wants hundreds of carrots? i'm not a rabbit. -your son looks like a girl! is that what i think it is? did you steal my plans for the automatic carrot peeler? i was young. i needed the money. -it's the worst recession since the great depression. besides, you weren't using it. that's because it's a dumb invention. no one but me eats enough carrots to justify the cost of this thing. he's right. -no one eats carrots. everyone is eating carrots. a new study came out today touting their extraordinary health benefits. oh, the automatic carrot peeler is flying off the shelves. i'm not even going to carry the old peeler anymore. -you heard it here, folks. time to toss that old carrot peeler and get the automatic carrot peeler. that doesn't sound like it's going to be good for my checking account. um, do you have any carrot peelers? as a matter of fact, i do. -ohh, no one uses those anymore. i meant an automatic carrot peeler. how much for the massage chair? is it broken? no. -is it stolen? i just bought it. why are you selling it? because i'm broke. oh, that's mighty sad. -i'll give you $1.00. aren't you going to take it with you? nah. leave it in your yard. i likes my massages in the great outdoors. -oh! whoo-hoo-hoo! hoo! hoo! i'm rich! -i'm rich! i'm rich! daffy! i'm-- oh. uh, hey. -what's up? can i talk to you for a second? of course. whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! ooh! -ha ha! daffy, i have to sell the house. is this because no one's buying your carrot peeler because everyone's buying my carrot peeler? a carrot peeler that i stole out of your invention notebook? because if it is, i feel like some of this could be my fault. -it is your fault. then let me make it up to you. how? i'll buy your house. what? -you were there for me when i had nothing. you took me in and put a roof over my head. i'm going to do the same thing for you. that's what friends are for. nothing will change. -things will remain quid pro quo. you mean status quo. ahem. as long as you live under my roof, you don't tell me what i mean. i thought you said nothing would change. -under my roof, you'll watch your tone. i didn't have a tone. unh! my roof. excellent work, giuseppe. -how's work at the ice cream shop? it was fine until some jerk came in and ordered the world's most complicated banana split. hey, i like what i like. huh. oops. -back on the ladder, giuseppe. you missed a spot. ah-ah-ah. not on the chair. it's calfskin. -uh-uh. that's ivory. well, where am i supposed to put it? why don't you put it back on and make us dinner, and try not ruining it, like you did breakfast? i'm sorry you had to see that, giuseppe, and you wouldn't have if you'd have been working. -for daffy. son, you can't live like this. what do you mean? guy like you wasn't meant to wear an apron and take orders. well, it doesn't look like i have many options. -do i look like i got a lot of options? i'm not smart, i'm not good-looking, and i'm about 19 inches tall. but no one tells me what to do. i am the king of my castle. castle's a figure of speech, son. -but if it's yours and yours alone, it don't matter if it's the taj mahal or a hole in the ground. a hole in the ground, huh? what are you doing? massage oil for the massage chair. my old hole in the ground. -how did i used to get into this thing? didn't i have a ladder or something? maybe it's not a long drop. oof! ? -been thinkin' for a while ? ? and there's something i got to tell you ? ehh, i'm kind of busy. ? -been thinkin' that our love for each other ? has grown so very strong ? love? wait-- - ? -it's plain to see ? ? we're building our words together ? uh, back up for a minute. ? -i'm lookin' in your eyes right now ? ? and i can tell you feel the same ? you're choking me! ? -we are in love ? ? i am so in love today ? ? we are in love ? -? i think i'm gonna run away ? ? we are in love ? ? -did you tap my phone lines? ? ? we are in love ? ? -yes, i tapped your phone lines ? ? i won't lie, you're a very pretty lady ? thank you! ? -but you're crazy, crazy, crazy ? ? you make me want to move to bolivia ? i'll go with you! ? -you know, i'm thinking i should get a restraining order ? those are so hard to enforce. ? 'cause your car was parked outside my house ? ? -every night this week ? your neighbors are sweet. ? you're the reason that i have to keep my shades drawn ? i'll watch you through the chimney. -? i've installed an alarm system ? ? with motion beam detectors ? i have the code. -? we are in love ? ? give me just 5 minutes ? ? -we are in love ? ? i think that was 5 minutes ? ? we are in love ? -? did you just move in with me? ? ? we are in love ? -? yes, i just moved in with you ? ? we are in love ? ? -no, we're not ? that was our first love song! ugh. my old rabbit hole. a little dustier than i remember. -ok. a lot dustier. but at least i'm king of my castle. this is going to be great. i don't need to sell a million carrot peelers. -i have everything i need right here. i've got a chair, i've got a lamp. i've got a chair and a lamp. that's all anyone needs. i love the forest. -uh-oh. sale? where's the expensive soups? ooh. mine-strone. -sounds fancy. what are you doing with those automatic carrot peelers? taking them off the shelves. they're all being recalled. what? -why? apparently, they're highly flammable and extremely dangerous. that's impossible. i should know. i'm the inventor. -you invented these things? i'm going to sue you for everything you've got. hey, everybody! this jerk's responsible for the automatic carrot peeler! i hate the forest! -aah! bugs! daffy? i know i've been a terrible friend, but i need your help! there's a problem with the automatic carrot peeler! -apparently, it's highly flammable! that's impossible! step 7 of my design included a cooling system! step 7? i knew i shouldn't have stopped at step 3! -i just got so sleepy! anyway, everyone wants their money back, but i spent all the money, and now, they're going to take your house! you mean your house! i give it back! just please, come home and fix everything! -i don't know. i kind of like it here. please! i'm begging you, please! i'll take that as a yes. -you have to do something! they're going to level the house! i'll be right back. there isn't time! take 'er down, boys. -bugs! hurry! what is it? a time machine. wait! -no gen sprinkles on the chocolate. yes green sprinkles on the strawberry. but both no red sprinkles, except on the vanilla, which should receive exclusively red sprinkles. that'll be $5.85. i've only got 16 cents. -get the rest from your tip jar. it's on me. where do you get all your money? don't worry about it. can i borrow $50? -i need a new pair of mall pants. beep beep! my fellow neanderthals, i come from the future to bring you the key to modern civilization. butt paper! -i'm not a morning person. i beg to differ. i shouldn't be this happy. why? well, what y w wrote about violet-- -was accurate and right w,w, beside the point. i can think of better things to do than talk about her, but if you can't-- oh, no, no. let's-- let's start over. -goodororning. it's about to be. hey, you on ca t tayay yeah. i gopapaged onn n incoming arrhythmia. -hohow's addison doinay wewe, e's s finei i guess. in sealele hohow's addisodeliriri a baby.y. is erythining ok? ndndistit conversations) -she, uh, she wants her own baby. and i'm not t ady, bubu uh... 76-year-old female, acute shortness of... adam, what are you doing here? she's gotten worse. -didn't know what else to do. bradycardic at 40 with a pressure of 90. please, pete. respiratory rate? 24 and labored. put her in bay one. -is that-- my mother. well, under the circumstances, your anger is justifiable. under the circumstances, homicide is justifiable. oh, if i have to hear "she's my b.f.f." one more time... -wait. i'm sorry. do-- have you ever done one of those city college lecture things? because you look really familiar. -no. no, that wasn't me. so let's-- let's, uh, let's stay on point here. i i think the important thing -is to understand why your daughters made this decision and to figure out how we can move forward. i've racked my brain, and i just don't know. lisa and i have always been so close. what did i do wrong? -well, this isn't necessarily about you. i'm a single mother with three kids, dr. wallace. when something goes wrong, it's always about me. maybe the girls were trying to redefine their lives -in a way that is more meaningful to them. maybe compensating for low self-esteem or looking for what they perceive as unconditional love. oh, give me a break. what does casey have to be upset about? -and that's what we need to explore. which is also why we need to speak to your daughters. we're not pathetic, knocked-up teenagers. we made a choice. it's a pact. -explain that to us. why did you decide to get pregnant... together? why should i worry about good grades and getting into college -when all i want is to be a mom anyway? plus, instant status. babies love you no matter what. that's awesome. are you not feeling loved at home now, lisa? -well, yeah. my mom's a trooper. it's just... there's a lot going on around the house, so she can't give each one of us attention, you know? -i felt loved until my mother tried to make me have an abortion. what you might think is a lack of love could be your mother trying to protect you. she's trying to protect herself. -she doesn't care about me. that's why we need each other. she has a.v. dissociation. pete, is she-- atropine. .6. -i can't breathe. she's in third-degree heart block. what does that mean? i need to float a temporary pacemaker, stabilize her rhythm. what the hell is going on? -if you want to stay, you're gonna have to stop talking. i can handle this. where's the damn catheter? all right, heart rate's dropping. pete, please, look at me. -do something. get out! if you want her to live, get the hell out! captioned by closed captioning services, inc. so the belarus competition, -i won-- first american ever. what? that's amazing. what did you play? rachmaninoff's third. -really? that's like the hardest concerto there is. not like, it is the hardest. the technical aspects are impossible for most musicians to master. -child or adult. you must be very proud of your grandson. no one plays it as well as patrick. every bit of his hard work and discipline shows. is the numbness constant or does it come and go? -it comes and goes. grab my fingers and squeeze... hard as you can. okay. now hands out, palms up. -close your eyes. is something wrong? well, i think it would be worth getting an m.r.i., and our neurosurgeon should take a look. do you know how many conversations we've had -about protection? i bought her condoms. i put her on birth control pills. i suppose i should've just taped her damn legs shut, but i didn't-- like that would've worked. -o - okay, okay, let's calm down. easy for you to say. you're not the one who's going to be contending with three kids and a grandchild. we're the ones who will sacrifice. -jamie, what are you thinking? she's probably glad her mom's not here to yell at her. my mom said she had to pick up my brother and drop him off at home. she said she'd be back. can i just say something? -we've been here all morning. if we're here all afternoon, we're gonna miss a lot more than school. i don't care if we're here all day every day for the rest of the year. -we have to sort this out. you wrote this book. i knew i recognized you. i bought this last week and i'm halfway through it, but... -she's not the right therapist for our daughters. you guys, she has this totally nasty scar down her stomach. can we try to focus? ah, no laying out for you, eh? there are things in this book that i promise you -you will not like. like what? i don't want to embarrass her, but-- this is not the place for this discussion. could we see the scar? jamie, let's go. -we're done with this. patrick's parents died in a car accident when he was 5, and dennis has raised him on his own ever since. he was apparently a renowned conductor until his son died. then he took patrick in, taught him the piano, -and now this kid's a prodigy. mm. classical music puts me to sleep. are you really that uncultured? this coming from the guy who rushes home -to watch outtakes of "american bake-off"? okay. damn it. what? what is it? -it's called a pilocytic astrocytoma. it's in the part of the brain that controls hand function. am i gonna die? you'll have to have surgery. you'll have to cut into his brain? -it's the best course of action. the safest and simplest route would be right through the center of the motor strip. but if we go through that area, the likelihood is that we would destroy all function in his right hand. -i... i won't be able to play music anymore? no. are there any other options? i can do an awake craniotomy. -awake? during brain surgery? because you'd be conscious and able to talk to me, i could monitor your hand function much more closely and try to avoid damaging any of the corresponding nerves. -would it hurt? there are no pain sensors on the brain. your scalp would be numb, so you would hear the drill, you would feel pressure from the vibration, but it wouldn't hurt, however, because i would be -taking a longer and more indirect route, there is a possibility of inflicting more damage. what kind of damage? patrick might end up with some degree of paralysis in his right leg. -but... but i'll still be able to play. uh, i don't know if this is the right-- please, grandpa. let her do it. -i don't need legs, but i need the piano. what do you think? the pacemaker will buy us time. i can't figure out why her rhythms deteriorated. how is she? -uh, she's stable for now. what is she doing out of jail? well, after you wouldn't sign her compassionate release, mom's health got worse. she developed congestive heart failure. -and the prison doctors, they couldn't handle it, so... last week, they, uh, they let her out. anyway, this morning, she, uh, she was having a hard time catching her breath, -so i called 9-1-1. all right, did anything bring this on? has she been smoking? just a few a day. how about drugs? -anything new? answer the question. look, i tried finding another doctor to sign that release. but you were right, pete. her heart symptoms, they weren't bad enough. -she just wasn't sick enough. so she told you to make her sick enough. she said she didn't care how, that she'd do anything. so i did some research, and i, uh... i bribed a guard who, uh, slipped her these pills. -all right, what-- what kind of pills? what were you thinking? she begged me. i had to get her out. what kind of pills? -digoxin. what is it? what's the matter? don't you understand? you poisoned her. -i need 250 milligrams of digiverse. now. violet, i think it might be better if you step aside on this one. sheldon, some people who read my book will be patients. -i anticipated that. i can work with that. it doesn't take away from the fact that i can help these girls. i think it does. -as therapists, we have to be blank slates, sounding boards. there's a reason we're judicious about sharing our personal lives with patients. it distracts them. they waste time focusing on us -instead of dedicating their energy on their own problems. you know that that session was tainted. there was no taint there. there-- there was titillation, and that will fade. those girls don't want to be here, -which means getting through to them is an uphill battle. and their mothers- i just... there's a lot of work that needs to be done in repairing those relationships. -which i can do, because last time i checked, only one of us is actually a mother or a former 16-year-old girl. with all due respect, having a vagina does not give you a degree in psychiatry, -and whether you might believe it or not, your book is a problem. i can handle it, sheldon. you know, you might find this hard to believe, but i was trying to help her. -she almost died. i told him to do it. i had no choice because you wouldn't help me. you are not my responsibility. yes, she is. -parents take care of their children, then children step up for their parents. i mean, isn't that what you're gonna do teach lucas? you leave my son out of this. boys, please. -she did not take care of us. i was the one who made sure we had something to eat every day. i was the one who put us to bed on the nights when she was drinking, which was every night. don't talk about me that way. -i'm still your mother. yeah, you were there at the birth, i'll give you that, but that's it. how did you get to be so cold, pete? you made me that way. -you look like the cat who got the cream. i am most definitely that cat. who's the lucky girl? marla thompkins. the reviewer who trashed violet's book? -you're kidding. how'd that happen? oh, i met her at violet's book party, and then she called. i knew i should've said no after what she did to violet-- -only matters what she's doing to you, and from the looks of it, she is doing it well. i say go for it. go for what? marla thompkins. -seriously? was i speaking in tongues? you'd really do that to violet? yes, i'm late for something. who put a bug up your ass? -that'd be me. i gave his patient an opinion he didn't like. my patient is a piano virtuoso. he also has a brain tumor. the safest way to remove the tumor -may mean that he never plays the piano again. if i take a more radical approach, i'll compromise his leg but i'll spare his hand. he could have a stroke. you could knock out his hearing or his vision. -this is the surgery that patrick wants. he's 14 years old. he's nowhere near old enough to understand the implications of a decision this big. what's the right age to choose between an arm and a leg? -look, some things you just know. i knew at age 6 i was gonna be a surgeon. and when i was a little kid, i was obsessed with the piano and thought maybe i wanted to be a musician. i never knew you played. -'cause my interests changed. what was important to me then is not important to me now. and maybe someday, patrick's gonna want to walk down the aisle or chase after his kids. look, this kid has a gift. -who are we to take it away from him? believe it or not, my day got worse. yes, actually, i'm meeting someone-- so pete is all freaked out because they brought his mother into the e.r., and she's supposed to be in prison, but his brother-- -his brother, adam-- got her out. but not in any normal way. no, no, not through a parole hearing or time off for good behavior. no, he poisons her. -he poisons her. now granted that is a course of action i've been considering with my own mother for a number of years now, but i've managed to keep that particular genie in the bottle. so frances' heart is now damaged, -and adam is blaming pete, and pete is blaming adam-- sorry i'm late. oh. we didn't the chance to meet the other night at your party. marla thompkins. -yeah, i i-i know who you are. are you two dating? well, you know... labels can be so confining. -we're dating. patrick and i have discussed it. we will go with the safer surgery. well, that's a good call. we didn't discuss it. -grandpa just told me what he wanted. what? it's the truth. you are a child. it's my brain. -patrick, we can't go ahead with a craniotomy without your grandfather's consent. but if patrick does not want the other surgery, we can't force him to do that, either. i don't understand. -if it becomes a matter for the courts, they'll probably go with what you decide, but that could take weeks. we don't have weeks. we need to do the surgery immediately. -or patrick will die. we'll do the safer surgery. but that's not what i want. the decision's been made. no, it's not. -either you let me do the awake craniotomy, or you let me die. hey, patrick. hey. you never get nervous when you're onstage? -once i start playing, i'm just in it. i guess that's a good thing when you're performing. but, you know, that focus on what's right in front of you, it can keep you from seeing everything else. this surgery that you want, -you could spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair. i don't care. you don't care now, but i don't think you really understand the decision you're making. there's only a handful of people in the world -who can do what i do. when i play, every part of me-- my hands, my brain, my soul-- it all engages in this perfect synchronicity. it's almost like i'm watching myself -rather than actually doing it. i can't really describe it, but-- being a musician, that feeling, i know it's the most important thing to you now, but you're just a kid. -you can't close yourself off to the idea that other things could become equally if not more important. i think if you talk to your grandfather about this... he loves you, patrick. he loves the way i play. -i don't think music is as important to him as your relationship. music is my relationship with my grandfather. all these people showed up at the house the night my parents were killed. -i didn't know what they were doing there, but everyone kept asking me if i wanted ice cream or pizza or a movie. i ouought it was a party. then i saw my grandfather, and he looked so sad. -i tried to hug him, and he didn't know what to do. he never really looked at me after that until he taught me to play piano. that's how we started to speak to each other. -you can learn other ways to communicate. he can't. frances. i'm- i'm violet turner. -i'm pete's wife. who'd have thought-- pete's a doctor married to a doctor? and a pretty one, too. and your boy lucas, is he as smart as the two of you? -smarter. he has pete's smile. well, i never saw much of that smile. pete never talks about his father. well, that's because he never knew him. you two weren't together that long? -long enough to have a baby... a few laughs. well... do you need anything? can i get you anything? can you get pete to talk to me? -well, i think that's up to pete. i'm probably asking for too much. i mean, he's been here. he's just cold. i can't erase what i did. -i'll be judged for that. but i want pete to forgive me. i need that before i... you don't owe me one damn thing. but please, can you help me? -why didn't you tell me you played piano? it didn't seem important. sounds like you used to love it. i used to love to eat paste, too. why'd you give it up? -the piano or the paste? were you just not any good? actually, i was quite good. my dad taught me. you know, my mom, she's not at all musical. -the woman can't even whistle. so it was something special that me and my dad shared, just the two of us. then why'd you quit? uh... -i told you about my brother. the one who died before you were born-- andy. so when i was, like, 15, i found a picture tucked into some sheet music, um, of andy. -and he couldn't have been more than 4 or 5, and he was sitting on my dad's lap, and my dad was holding his hands on the keys. and so your dad taught andy to play, too. doesn't mean it wasn't special. -every time i practiced, i wondered if my dad was in the other room pretending it was andy playing... so i quit. sorry, coop. -don't be. it was a long time ago. you wanted to know, and i told you. you know, um... every sunday when i was growing u -my parents would take me to this chinese restaurant, and, um... i j- i hateitit. it was all the way across town, -and we would drive in silence to get to this meal where nobody basically said a word. so, um, the last time i was home, my parents wanted to go to that restaurant, and i thought, you know, i'm a grown-up. -i mean, how bad can ite? e? well, two bites into this egg roll, i was complaining about work, and my mother cut me off with a smile, and she said, -"why didn't you become a lawyer like your cousin trudy?" and the way she said it, pete, i swear, i... i couldn't even finish eating. i just walked out the door. -i thought trudy was a teacher. she is. she practiced law for two years, and then she quit, which is a fact my mother is well-aware of. okay, i get it violet. -nobody pushes our buttons like family. and when they do, it evaporates every ounce m maturity we have, and we are left to be stubborn, angry 12 year olds. are you telling me to grow up? -no. i'm... saying that you could heal your 12 year old by forgiving frances -for all the terrible things that she did. she knows she failed you. she doesn't know anything of the kind. i talked to her, pete. why would you do that? -because you're my husband. because knowing even just a little bit about her and your past helps me to understand you better. i know that this is hard-- if you want to make peace with some parents, why don't you start with your own? -i've never seen you make so much as a phone call. yes, yes, i-- it's true. i am asking you to do some work that i have not yet been able to do on my own, but just because that seems unfair doesn't mean that i am wrong. -if you are able to forgive frances, she won't be able to control you anymore. she is who she is, you are who you are, and the only thing that's important is how you move forward. -but that's up to you. i talked to patrick. and? he wants the awake craniotomy because he thinks his grandfather won't love him anymore -if he can't play the piano. the grandfather told him to get the safer surgery. a smart kid can always feel the truth behind the words, and now he is making a life-or-death decision based on fear that-- lots of people do. -this is just wrong. cooper, dennis has raised this kid by himself for, what, like ten years? yeah, i know, but-- their relationship can't be that tenuous. -look, i know seeing me with maria was a shock, and i know you two got off on the wrong foot, but if you give her a chance, i think you'll see that she's really kind of an amazing person, you-- she's a bitch. okay, look, she didn't like your book. -she savaged me, sheldon. does the entire world need to be in love with you? are you really that insecure? you know, sheldon, my plate is kind of full right now with pete and his mother -and teenagers ruining their lives. i don't have time for this crap. hello. sorry we're late. okay, well, um, this is the nursery, obviously. -so after your babies are born, they'll be brought here to get cleaned up and get some tests done. unless they're, you know, cut out of you. we've all read it. and after about an hour, -they'll be brought to your room so that you can nurse. did it hurt when the crazy lady cut it out of you? okay, again, this is not about dr. turner. this is about you and how your lives are gonna change. -okay, that is not fair. she's telling us we're total screwups, but in reality-- no one is saying that. hello. were you completely tuned out yesterday? she smushed with, like, two guys and didn't even use protection. -she doesn't even know who the dad is. she is right here. whatever. you didn't even want your kid. at least we want our babies. -oh, getting pregnant for status or to get love, that is selfish and immature. violet, that's enough. no, no, sheldon. i want to help these girls, -but i'm not gonna stand he and be abused. okay, please, just leave. oh! ohh! ah! -ah! what's going on? it feels like something's tearing inside me. aah! we need a gurney here! -lisa, call casey's mom. no, no, i don't need her. just lisa. ah! what's happening? -okay, okay, you are bleeding inside, your baby is in danger, and it needs to come out right now. ah! ah! oh, my god. -that's disgusting. the delivery isn't the hard part. the pain is fleeting. it's the responsibility that's forever. this isn't what i expected. -i mean, just look at casey. this is too much. it's gonna be okay. it's gonna be okay. i'm here for you, and we'll-- we'll keep working. -no. i can't do this. is that lucas? i used to think it was my fault. if i was a better kid, that you wouldn't drink. -if i was a good son, that maybe one of the guys you brought home would hang around for more than a coup o of days. but... but then i had lucas, and... the love i feel for him, it just... -changed everything. how could you not feel that for adam and me? i i was drunk most of the time. then there were drugs. -you know, after a while, the person you are... is just gone. pete, i'm so sorry. i don't know what to do to make it up to you. -maybe i can't. but i love you. is it too late to start over? lucas, this is frances. she's your grandmother. -hi. you are a big boy. 'ight. he looks like you. hello. -mm yeah. pete, got a second? so i looked at the echo, and the damage to her heart is pretty extensive. -there's nothing we can do, pete. i'm sorry. mama? how long? well, she's in borderline cardiogenic shock. -she's not responding-- sam, how long? not long. you wanted to see me? i'd like to talk to you about patrick. i assumed. -he needs to have surgery. either surgery, but he needs to have one. so you two need to make a decision, because his tumor is gonna keep growing and... do you love him? -you have to love him. just because i don't say it doesn't mean i don't feel it or that patrick doesn't know it. he doesn't know it. i mean, can't you see that? -he is terrified that his only connection to you is through music. he is willing to paralyze himself because he is afraid that without piano, you won't connect anymore. -you have to tell him that you love him. you have to say the words, because if you don't and we are not able to do something, he is gonna die. don't you dare lecture me about death. -someday you will reach a point where more of the people you love are dead than alive, and that, dr. shepherd, is terrifying. to lose your wife... to a stroke -and then your son in a car accident-- i understand death. what i don't understand is why every feeling has to bcocommunicated. if the love is there, you know. -when i was a kid, my dad was shot in front of me, and what helped me keep going was my mother. every night before bed, she said, "good night. i love you. -i will see you tomorrow, " and there was no confusion. there was no doubt that she loved me enough for both of them. and that even in his absence, she would be there, always. please just talk to him. -if patrick wants the surgery, do it. i thought... why aren't you dressed? i'm not going in today. you gonna see your mother? -maybe. i don't know. you don't want to do this. spare me the missed opportunity speech. that ship sailed a long time ago. -w- what, so you're gonna walk away now? look, i didn't get the mother i wanted. i didn't get the mother i deserved, and it made me so angry... i wanted her to die. -i wished for it. but yesterday, for a few minutes, it was like... her death would've been easier before, but now it's... -now it's gonna hurt because you had a glimpse of what could've been between the two of you if things were different. i'm sorry, pete. -it's gonna hurt. i mean, there's just no way around it. you just gotta get through it. but maybe this pain is good... because it means that somewhere inside of you -you still want to connect with frances, and now she wants that, too. i mean, has it come decades too late? yeah... but... but maybe those patients that you comforted -while they died, maybe they were just practice for helping your mother... right here, right now. you think he's coming? i don't know, cooper. -but he might. hey. you ready? my grandfather's not gonna show, dr. freedman. -i told you, he's only interested in me if i can play. you know what? why don't i gown up? you don't have to go in there alone. i won't be. -i've got dr. shepherd. okay. i'm sorry i was so harsh on you at the hospital, but the book, c changes things, you know? -it just does. i didn't need you to bail me out back there. yes, you did. look... i don't want this to be adversarial betw-- -you should've thought of that before you starting smushing that venomous-- don't make this about maria. you know what? let's keep this professional. fine. -my professional opinion is that you're not in a position to help those girls right now. but i am the same therapist as i've always been. i'm probably better, in fact, but... what am i supposed to do? -you had something to say and you said it. it's healthy for you. it's gonna help a lot of people. but there's a price to be paid for that, and that's where you are right now. -and i'm sorry, but that's just the reality. i need to stimulate a few more areas in your brain so i know where it's safe to cut. just keep playing,kakay, patrick? any requests? -i think the guy with his brain exposed gets to choose. wh-what's happening? it's okay. now i know that's an area i can't go near. -all right, patrick. i'm gonna cut now. you ready? patrick, you all right? i wish dr. -freedman had been right. i wish my grandfather would've come. let's get started. where is he? where's patrick? -uh, he's already in surgery. i never should've rereed to this surgery. i thought if i gave him what he wanted, w how i felt. if anything happens, and i missed my chance... -mm. maybe it's not too late. i love you. what's happening? dr. shepherd, i can't feel my hand. -dr. shepherd? i've got some bleeding in the brain. well, do something! i can't lose him. i need some suction here. -i did this. stop. no, no. it's because of what i gave her. i mean, i was just trying-- she's been sick for a while. -and now it's time. don't be scared. i'm here. we're both here. oh. -thank you. it's okay, mom. you're gonna be okay. whdidid we have to leave? dr. shepherd needed to focus. -i was too late. i was too late. whatever happens, patrick knows you love him. mm-hmm. he's in recovery. -he had a brain hemorrhage. i had to evacuate the hematoma, but i managed to get the bleeding under control and i got the whole tumor. whew. -thank you. thank you so much. uh, will he walk again? we won't know until the swelling goes down. if we're lucky, he may end up -with only some mild weakness in his leg, but he will play again, so all things considered, this was a success. uh, can i see him? of course. -how can you say it's a success if he might end up paralyzed? that's the success. how are you doing? lisa never came back. -jamie called. she's giving her baby up for adoption. so much for the pact. and has your mom been by? to criticize me and yell. -she's not gonna come around on this. how am i supposed to do this by myself? i'm totally alone. did you decide on a name? ben. -well, then you're not alone. you've got ben. i'm scared. well, we can work on that. i read your book, all of it. -and? i can't believe how much you've been through. it must have been really hard. um, yeah. well, you know, it was. -but, um... you know, i got through it. when i saw casey... that little person just kind of came out of her, and it just suddenly became real. -like... i feel like i've really screwed up. i look at my mom, and she tries to be nice, but she already has three kids. she doesn't need another one. -well, this won't be her child. it'll be yours. i know. but i... but i need her. -i really need my mom. and watching casey, i just... knew that i'm gonna need help, and i don't want to be any more of a burden. my mom doesn't deserve that. -well, look... family is... hard. it just is. but your mother will understand, -because she already knows what i've been trying to tell you-- that from this moment on, your primary focus has to be the well-being of your child. that's... that's why i left my son with his father, -because i couldn't take care of him, and... and he deserved better. just like you said in the book. just like i said in the book. i don't know if i want to keep this baby anymore. -maybe i do. i'm just not sure. but i don't know how to talk to my mom about this. well, why don't we talk to her together? hi. -here's the thing- i don't know your father, and maybe when you were a newborn, he did look at you and wish that you were andy, 'cause frankly, babies all look the same. they're all bald, wailing poop machines. -but the minute you started to grow, you were cooper, not some replacement child. what did you do? oh. oh. -you can't give up on the things you love, not ever. go. ahahh. all i'm saying is that violet's got a lot going on. -she opened herself up for this book, and you wrote a- a tough review. e e book is already causing problems with patients. and-- and then she sees you with me-- so what? my interaction with violet's professional. -my interaction with you is personal. i don't see the conflict. unless your relationship with violet is personal. well, we're colleagues. look... -i like you, sheldon, a lot. but i don't want to have to fight for your loyalty or affection. i'm not asking you to fight for me. no, but apparently, i have to ask you to fight, -and i don't like that feeling. when being with me is more important to you than what violet thinks about us, call me. oh, come on-- -no. wh-- she died. i'm so sorry. adam took it pretty hard. -well... you know, he's... had a lot more years of actually speaking to her than i have, so... you-- you can leave all this, sweetie. -the funeral home came and took the body away. pete- i don't even know if she wants to be buried or cremated. maybe adam knows, but i-- pete. i'm not a morning person. -i beg to differ. i shouldn't be this happy. why? well, what you wrote about violet... was accurate... and right now, beside the point. -i can think of better things to do than talk about her, but if you can't... h, no, no. let's... let's start over. -good morning. it's about to be. hey, you on call today? yeah. i got paged on an incoming arrhythmia. -how's addison doin' today? well, she's fine i guess. in seattle, delivering a baby. is everything ok? she, uh, she wants her own baby. -and i'm not ready, but uh... 76-year-old female, acute shortness of... adam, what are you doing here? she's gotten worse. didn't know what else to do. -bradycardic at 40 with a pressure of 90. please, pete. respiratory rate? 24 and labored. put her in bay one. -is that... my mother. well, under the circumstances, your anger is justifiable. under the circumstances, homicide is justifiable. oh, if i have to hear "she's my b.f.f." one more time... -wait. i'm sorry. do... have you ever done one of those city college lecture things? because you look really familiar. no. -no, that wasn't me. so let's... let's, uh, let's stay on point here. i... i think the important thing is to understand why your daughters made this decision and to figure out how we can move forward. -i've racked my brain, and i just don't know. lisa and i have always been so close. what did i do wrong? well, this isn't necessarily about you. long ago. -why? don't be afraid. wait, wait. it's like this, okay? i have a third eye. -i can speak with the dead, with earthly creatures, okay? i don't believe you have a third eye. you only have two eyes. now you're gone. enough. -enough with that. if you're gay, and if you have a third eye... i have something to admit... i.m a coward! -you noticed? so what? no. brother benjie, if you're leaving, i'm leaving too. there'd be no sense any more. -me too. me too. me too. me too. thank you. -but you don't have to come with me. i don't want them to think that... i'm already gay and i even had the guts to start a labor union. if you're leaving, we are too. yes. -i'm coming too. ouch! your shank is too heavy! my arm got broken. bro, bro, they' re here. -that's a real man. a man looking for another man. he's straight. he's straightly gay. i'm just going to bid them goodbye. -i haven't said goodbye to them. go ahead. hey! he might kiss you! run! -run! yahoo! let's go. enough. where are we? -are you sure the shortcut is here? seems like we've been walking for so long now. looks like at the end of this, we'd be in the moon already. you're overreacting. how are we going to reach the moon when we' re not even in a spaceship? -wow. so smart. who said the shortcut is this way? who else but me? let's stop and spend the night here. -wait. alien? wait, is there no ghost here or a white lady? buhawi, what does your third eye say? nothing. -there's just a tree demon and a demon horse. he's actually right beside you. all of these are my father's inventions. that fan, don't make the mistake of opening it... if you don't want to get toasted. that tiara can actually kill a hundred people. -especially that fart gun that you're holding. my mom slept for an entire week after getting fired by that. this is great. at least, we now have a protection against our enemies. what do we do now? -let's go home? that's fine with me. what else can we do? we've already left the camp. i will never go home. -i'm going to find that terrorist base. i'm going to attack them. and save my grandpa. you know what, that's great. but you have to swallow your magical stone first... and pretend to be a superhero. -she's a superhero? there's a gay superhero? yes, we' re going to ride on his back then we'd fly. wow, that' s great. he's a superhero and yet he looks like a monster. -you' re really stupid. maybe i can prove to this guy that i have powers. don't show it to him at this time. tell them that if they don't release billy aladdin, we will decapitate the generals. whatever you do, even if you decapitate us, and play with our heads like bowling balls, the government will never release your leader billy aladdin. -i suggest you surrender now. you're all going to die when the military finally attacks. bind these men! wait, i'm not yet finished with my food. you general, aren't you going to eat? -i don't eat pig food. dad! i really miss my family. but i have to save my father's family. i want to prove to everyone that i'm not dumb. -i'm just slow. but i am useful to others. i really love my adoptive parents. they might be gay and lesbian but i have so much respect for them. i want to give them honor. -if i get famous for saving the whole nation... i hope the food that they give me... is also as big as the nation. and i won't get hungry forever. i might have a blurry vision but my goal in life is very clear. i want peace on earth. -that's why i want to eradicate those terrorists. my parents have already passed away. so before they enter the light, i want them to be proud of me. i will face all my fears. i will defend the nation for the sake of my future wife and children. -i am... i am already sleepy. let's sleep. fine. let's just resume tomorrow. -hey! why benjie? did you hear that? there are vehicles coming. let's ride with them. -come on! let's go! careful. they' re terrorists. let's follow them. -i'm sure they' re going to the terrorists' base... where they are hiding my grandpa. i saw them with colonel! who's colonel? hilda. who's hilda? -hilda koronel. this is where they are hiding. who knew it's this near? it's walking distance from the camp. what are we waiting for? -let's attack! you go on your own! we'd be going back to the camp to tell them. let's go back! let's go. -why did you come back?

your brother's talking in his sleep again. no kidding. what about? -some childhood dream about you making him hit himself. what childhood? that was last week. sports center? yeah. -i'm making my picks for tomorrow's games. really, charlie? taking the points against georgetown? no. if you want to throw your money away, why don't you just get married without a prenup. -you know something i don't? so far this year, georgetown's covered the spread eight times out of ten. wow, you bet college basketball? only idiots bet college basketball. no offense. -then how do you know all this stuff? i worked for a sports book in vegas. then i opened my own little business in the back of a candle shop in sherman oaks. i always wondered how those places stayed in business. yeah, so did the irs. -so they nailed you for running a book? no. they nailed me for running a candle store that made a quarter of a million dollars a year without selling one freakin' candle. okay, so no on georgetown. does alan know about this? -he knows about the candle store. let's just keep the other part between us. yeah, he's kind of prissy about moral stuff like gambling. yeah, he is. and drinking. -well, that's only because when he drinks, he gets all weepy and then he pukes. and whoring. no, he doesn't have a moral problem with that. he's just cheap and he likes to cuddle. well, don't worry-- your sordid gambling past will be our secret. -i'm glad to know i can trust you. well, of course you can. hey, i never told him about your little soft-core film career. oh, god. you saw cinnamon's buns? -not all the way through. although i am very familiar with the bakery shop scene in the middle. you know, with the frosting gun? i was 19, i needed the money. they promised me it would be tasteful. -it looked very tasteful. and delicious. yum, yum. glad to hear you enjoyed it. oh, yeah. -although i don't think you were well-served by the screenplay. what screenplay? there was just a greasy little guy behind the camera saying, "do this, do that. more frosting." it's kind of weird. -in some way, you and i have more in common than you and my brother. all right, let's take something off the table right away. what's that? my ass. that's not what i was getting at... -seriously, charlie, in spite of my past, i'm just a nice little valley soccer mom now. whoa, whoa, whoa, soccer mom? your kid's a babbling pothead. he played soccer when he was ten. -he scored two goals. in one game? in one season. shut up. the point is, -i am way past guys like you. what do you mean guys like me? i mean guys that i have to dip in ammonia before i'd let them anywhere near me. oh. those guys. -well, as long as we're being honest, i'm perfectly happy with the way things are between us. besides, you're really good for alan. thank you. yeah, yeah, no, y-you're, you're smart, you're strong, you're self-sufficient, and he's, well... not. -i think you underestimate your brother. it's not an estimate. i already got the bill. you'll see, one of these days he's gonna surprise you. and one of these days i'm gonna die of liver failure. -want to lay odds which happens first? good night, charlie. good night. ammonia? am i that skeevy? -yes. morning. morning. did lyndsey leave yet? no. -why? no reason. just trying to keep track of who's in my house. don't worry, she's leaving very soon. i'm not worried. -actually, i like having her around. you not so much. thank you. that never ceases to be funny. ah, cinnamon buns! -how did you know? i bought them. oh, right, cinnamon buns. who doesn't love cinnamon buns? charlie! -what, what, what? alan bought cinnamon buns. with frosting. oh. yum. -all right, honey. i'll see you later. oh. i'll call you after work. see ya, charlie. -hey, lynds, has your son picked a college yet? uh, no. why? well, i was just wondering if he were to choose between say... north carolina and kentucky which one would you encourage him to pick? -keeping in mind that as an out-of-state resident, kentucky is two-and-a-half times more expensive. i'd still go with kentucky. it's a better school. interesting. -well, i hope he gets in. thanks. bye. bye. what was that all about? -hmm? since when do you care about her kid's education? young people are our future, alan. i care about them all. oh, please. -the only young people you care about are sliding down a pole to grab dollar bills out of your mouth. those aren't dollar bills-- those are 20s. and when did you become such a cynic? and when did you become so interested in the comings and goings of my girlfriend-- or what her kid's up to? whoa, whoa, chill. -no, no, i will not chill. and what was all that about liking having her around? nothing. i like having her around. yeah, but around what? -excuse me? i think when you say "around," you mean under. don't go down that road, alan. oh, oh, why shouldn't i go down that road? is it slippery when wet? -are you out of your mind? what's gotten into you? oh, i think a better question would be what's gotten into you? i mean, who have you gotten into? alan, alan, listen to me very carefully. -i have not had sex with your girlfriend. oh, so it's still in the planning stages. no. but you do want her? no. -why not? what's wrong with her? nothing. she's terrific. so you do want her! -alan, believe me, when it comes to lyndsey, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. uh-huh, uh-huh. that's what you said about wendy freidman and kathy bell and amy driskell. who? they're all girls that you stole from me. -what are you talking about? i never stole anybody from you. wendy freidman. sixth grade, halloween party. i went to get her punch. -when i came back, you were bobbing for her apples. innocent fun. oh... kathy bell, ninth grade. i brought her home to work on our science project. -i went to the bathroom. when i came back, you were teaching her french. harmless horseplay. amy driskell, sophomore year. first girl who let me get to second base. -all right, her i nailed. wait, wait, wait. you nailed her? everybody nailed her. that was her thing. -it took me six months just to touch her right boob! wow, you really missed the signals, didn't you? what signals? well, in my case, it was her taking off her sweater and saying, "quick, do me before alan gets back from his trumpet lesson." clarinet. -i didn't have the lip for trumpet. apparently, you didn't have the lip for amy driskell, either. but all that was a long time ago. you're with lyndsey now, and what's important is that i wish you both a long and happy life together. really? -from the bottom of my heart. okay. thank you. you're welcome. though i'd still like you to move out. -got it. soon. right. no, i guess that's about it. amy driskell. -"no, alan, i'm saving myself for jesus." come on in. hey. wow, the place looks great. doesn't it? -even better than before i accidentally almost burned it to the ground. yeah. you're welcome. come here. i want to give you something. -oh. fooling around? on the new couch? get your mind out of the gutter. i haven't scotchgarded yet. -oh. here. a house key? uh-huh. for this house? -maybe we're not ready to move in together, but i want you to feel like you can come and go without checking in with me. wow. wow. thank you. in a lot of ways, this isn't just the key to your house, it's the key to your heart. -don't gay it up. now listen, i'm thinking of having a housewarming party next saturday. great. what can i do? you can help me with the guest list. -okay. what would you say about inviting judith and herb? my ex-wife? they live right across the street, and herb is always so sweet to me. -that's because every time herb looks at you, he's pretending you're wet and naked. all right. fine. i won't invite him. it would probably just upset judith anyway. -yeah, you're right. you know what? let's invite them. take the high road. all right. -what about berta? oh, no. i don't think so. why not? she's kind of mean to me. -oh, honey. that's just 'cause she doesn't like you. fine. berta. and jake. -oh, of course. great. and charlie. there it is. there what is? -charlie. why do you want charlie to come to your party? why wouldn't i? when this place burned down, he took us in. he took me in seven years ago, and i don't feel a need to invite him. -oh, come on. he's a great guy. i really like him. of course you do. all the women like charlie. -"all the women"? wendy freidman, kathy bell, amy driskell. who? -and now lyndsey macelroy. oh, please. charlie and i are just friends. oh, no, no, no, my brother does not befriend women, he befouls them. are you saying you don't trust me? -oh, no, no, no, i don't trust charlie. for him, you're unexplored territory. at some point, he's gonna try and plant his flag in you. and when i say "flag," i mean his flag. okay, you're out of your mind. -yeah, well, be that as it may, i do not want you hanging out with my brother. i mean, you know, you can be courteous to him. you know, like, "hey, charlie, you got some vomit on your shoe," or, you know, "hey, charlie, do you need me to move my car so your hooker can park her pink camaro?" -do you realize how insulting this is? you don't get to tell me who i can and can't be friends with. hey, it's just charlie. i gave you herb and berta. you know what, i made a mistake. -well, i forgive you. give me my key back. what? give it to me. then how can i come and go? -you can forget coming, you're just gonna be going. but i-i don't understand. we were doing so good. we were, then you started talking and spoiled it. okay, okay, ju-just to clarify-- you're not as angry with me now as you were when i burned down your house? -okay, we'll talk after you've gained some perspective. jake, berta, let's go! party train's leaving. that what you're wearing to lyndsey's housewarming? i'm not going. -why not? she and i had a little argument. aw, that's too bad. jake, berta, let's go! charlie. -if you do what i think you're gonna do, i swear to god i will never speak to you again. oh, really? then by all means, tell me exactly what you think i'm gonna do. you know what i'm talking about. all right, all right, -i'm gonna run this down for you one last time. i have no interest in lyndsey other than as a friend, and she has even less interest in me. i don't believe you. okay, fine, you're right. i'm going over to your girlfriend's house, and i'm gonna do her right on the couch! -no, you won't. why not? couch isn't scotchgarded yet. hey, charlie, did you remember to get the housewarming gift? jake's got it. -jake! very funny. we thought so. how come you aren't dressed? he and lyndsey had a fight. -oh. that sucks. see ya. so you're just gonna sit here all night? oh, i'll be fine. -oh, i'm sure you will. but if you get bored, there's a load of laundry in the dryer you could fluff and fold. so you want me to do your job? somebody has to. well, i guess there's nothing left to say except you're an idiot. -i may be an idiot, but at least i'm home by myself reading moby dick. upside down. might as well. maybe she'll like me better. where's your friend eldridge? -he lives here, right? yeah, he's hiding in his room. how come? he gets really paranoid when he's high ding in his room. i just came to get him these snacks. -bye. amateurs. nice party. thanks. so give me the lay of the land. -you mean who in this land can you lay? if you will. all right. hot redhead by the bar-- that's wanda. recently came out of a terrible marriage. -nice, nice. what else you got? pretty blonde on the couch-- that's terry. she divorced her husband to be a lesbian. how's that working out for terry? -see the dirty look she's giving wanda? oh. i think i see an opening. and by that you mean...? i wasn't being subtle; -i see an opening. i knew it. anything good in my life, you have to take it away. "oh, charlie, you're so funny and so clever. "why don't i lean forward so you can look down my dress and see my boobies?" -"why, thank you, i believe i will." "so do you want to have sex now or wait until after the party"" "you don't mind that i'm carrying most, if not all communicable diseases known to man?" "oh, no, charlie, that's part of your charm. come, take me on the couch." -"are you sure? it's not scotchgarded." "no matter. we'll scotchgard it with our love." uh... -hello, mr. skunk. don't be alarmed. uh, i was just leaving. uh, there's, there's certainly no reason to feel threatened. good skunk. -nice skunk. bad skunk! oh, god, oh, god. oh, god, oh, god. who's out there? -! alan? hey, herb. oh! oh, wow! -hope you don't mind. i got skunked. oh, you sure did. yeah. how come you're not at lyndsey's party? -oh, well, i wanted to, but judith came down with a sudden migraine. and by "migraine," i mean "bitch fit." got it. how about you? oh, lyndsey and i had kind of a falling-out. -'cause you showed up smelling like a skunk? no, no. long story. i got time. i-i think she's fooling around with charlie behind my back. -charlie? that lucky duck. what? i said, that son of a bitch. story of my life. -uh, wendy freidman, kathy bell, amy driskell. amy driskell? i lost my virginity to amy driskell. you're kidding. never even had to ask. -aah! it was our first date. never got out of the driveway. aw! we weren't even in a car. -hey, you know what's good for getting rid of skunk smell? tomato juice. great. you got any? no. -we might have some v-8. think that'll work? well, it sure doesn't taste like tomato juice, but you couldn't possibly smell any worse. hang on. oh! -what else could go wrong? of course. i'm standing in dog crap. i can't tell you how happy it makes me to bring two friends back together. any better? -not really. well, that's all the v-8. want to try some ketchup? why not? i found this in one of my son's shoes. -oh, yeah, i can get you better than this. that's what i was hoping. lyndsey? ! alan? -what the hell are you... ? whoa! where is he? where is who? what is that smell? -skunk, dog crap and ketchup. oh. and don't try to change the subject. where is my brother? ! -well, he-he left about 20 minutes ago with two women. really? really. so-so you and he aren't... ? that's what i've been telling you, you smelly fool! -wow. guess we had nothing to fight about. hug? i'll call you. you don't scare me. -you already shot your load. although i suppose you could be a different skunk. so all i'm saying is, given my history, alan's paranoia is not completely uncalled for. no, no, this wasn't paranoia. -this was insanity. i know, i know, but... the man was covered in ketchup. well, to be fair, there was a time in your life when you were covered in frosting. it's not the same thing. -i was putting myself through college. look, all i know is that alan really loves you. now, if you ever repeat this, i will deny it, but my brother is about the most decent human being i know. can't you just give him one more chance? well, i suppose. -i knew it! you bastard! you slut! so what do you say? merry christmas, kids. -i bet you're wondering why ol' patchy has this mail truck. well, this year i wanted to be absolutely sure santa got me letter. so i gave mr. mailman the day off. do you even know how to get to the north pole? oh, potty, you silly parrot. -everybody knows that the directions to the north pole are right in the lyrics of the song jingle bells. no, patchy, the directions to the north pole are in the song there goes santa claus. scurvy brain. yeah, well, we ain't turning till we see some fields. look out, there's a fork in the road. -i don't see no fork. aah! while we wait for the truck to stop spinning, let's see what spongebob is up to this christmas. ready for christmas, kids?

why, christmas is me favorite time of the year. after all, 'tis the season of getting. don't you mean the season of giving? -exactly. the more you give, the more i get. maybe you would get a real present from santa if you weren't the biggest jerk in bikini bottom. i'm way ahead of you, karen. there is one element in the known universe that can turn even the nicest sap into the biggest jerk they can be. -and i, plankton, have discovered it. behold, jerktonium. i'll give everyone in bikini bottom a present of the most innocent of all holiday goodies, the fruitcake. and each and every slice will be laced with jerktonium. once ingested, no one can help becoming the biggest, creepiest, meanest jerk ever. -and santa will realize that sheldon j. plankton isn't so bad after all. and then i'll finally get what i really want for christmas, the krabby patty secret formula. and now for the main ingredient, jerktonium. okay, jerktonium, do your stuff. -it is complete. now, who's gonna be my first victim? hey, plankton, what you got there? is that a fruitcake dispenser? you don't suppose i could have a piece, do you? -sure thing, fruitcake. here you go. hot from the oven and full of lovin'. oh, hot! hot! -hot! ahh. mmm. wow, this is great. so how do you feel?

-well, i wanna sing the only christmas song that matters and that's jingle bells. from the top. a one and a two and- no! hold your holly! we're singing the best christmas song ever, and that's silver bells. -wrong bells, buddy. hey! i wanna sing "randolph, the red-nosed seahorse." oh, what is it with you and that song? it's great to see people so passionate about the holidays. -what's all the racket? what do you know? the jerktonium seems to work on these jerks. very interesting. oh, boy, a christmas parade. -the perfect occasion to spread some mouthwatering joy. all: yay! this just keeps getting better and better. ho, ho, ho. -so, little boy, what would you like for christmas? i want a sled and a truck and a bike and a train. hi, santa. have some fruitcake. and water pistol. -ooh. and a helicopter. ho, ho, ho. oh! well, why don't you get a job and buy all that junk yourself? -and while you're at it, try brushing your teeth, you little-- - have some fruitcake. thanks. that's it. i'm out of here. ooh! -wee! oh, yeah, and i want a trampoline. success! soon all the bikini bottomites will be jerks. now i just need to figure out what to do about ol' spongeboy. -once again, your master plan is fatally flawed. it seems that spongebob's innocent love of the holiday shields his heart from the effects of jerktonium. drat! that square head's gonna throw my whole naughty-to-nice curve right off. i guess it's time to introduce plan "b". -plan "b", meet karen. now go, my automated agent of naughtiness. go and destroy spongebob's good name. huh? oh, yeah. -i am ready. i am ready. i am ready. ready to destroy christmas. what's going on out here? -oh, it's just you, spongebob. aah! hmm. oh, spongebob, you've been a bad, bad toy. i can't believe we survived that horrifying car accident without a scratch. -whoa! oh! oh, here's the problem. flat tire, huh? looks as sad as an empty bag of beef. -why don't you kids at home go make a nice hot cup of cocoa while potty builds me a fire? it's so cold. me eye patch cracked. there hasn't been any food or water, food, or food for over 20 minutes. boy, i could sure go for some buffalo wings right about now. -sounds good, eh, potty? with a side of blue cheese dressing. aah, patch! what are you doing? i'm sorry, potty. -i don't know what got into me. i'm just so hungry. it's okay, patchy. i can't stay mad at you. oh, hey-- why are you looking at me like that, bird? -what are you doing? merry christmas, fellas. ah, go stuff a stocking. gee, that wasn't very nice. season's greetings, mr. krabs. -what? well, you got some nerve, spongebob. this is coming out of your salary. what's that all about? hey, patrick. -what ya up to? i think it's pretty obvious, spongebob. i'm eating fruitcake and setting a tiger trap for santa! now, if you don't mind, i'm kind of busy right now. yeesh, okay. -you don't have to be a jerk about it. everybody's on edge today. must be the holiday jitters. nosey body. aah! -yay, it works! oh, hello, big striped shrimp. ahh, christmas eve, when all of bikini bottom is filled with goodwill. merry christmas, frankie. a merry christmas to you too, johnny. -more like bad will. gosh, if people don't start acting nicer, santa's gonna fly right past bikini bottom this christmas eve. i'm gonna need some help. squidward! -i'm not home. oh, gosh. what do i do now? why don't you go bother sandy? good idea, squidward. -i'll have to thank you when you get home. i said i'm not home. spongebob, give me back my door. sandy, sandy, i need your help. it's christmas eve, and everyone in bikini bottom are acting like jerks. -you gotta help me find out why. why should i help all them jerks? because those jerks don't care about christmas anymore, sandy. it's a problem. problem? -my only problem is i'm out of fruitcake. only thing i got left to eat are boring old nuts. oh, the problem isn't the fruitcake. the problem is that everyone, including you, is acting like a jerk. oh, i'll have to solve this on my own. -whoa! dag nabbit, spongebob. you got fruitcake in my christmas magic analyzer. well, i'll be hornswoggled. my analyzer's found something in the fruitcake. -what is it, sandy? the fruitcake is contaminated with jerktonium. no wonder i've been as ornery as a sidewinder on a hot driveway. jerktonium is the orniest element of them all, and your fruitcake is full of it. where'd you get that fruitcake anyway? -from plankton. he baked it. you took food from plankton and fed it to everyone in town? uh-huh. you're an idiot. -uh-huh. no wonder everyone in town is a big ol' meanie. no! i've eaten tons of that fruitcake. i must be the biggest jerk in town. -hmm, you don't act jerky. for some reason, it's not affecting you. it must be a combination of your tiny brain and pure heart. you're immune to jerktonian, spongebob. but the rest of us will need an antidote. -i'll set the analyzer to calculate the formula. why, this formula for the antidote don't make no sense at all. mm, that's no formula. that's a song. sandy, the song is the antidote. -oh, yeah, well, your fins are fat. says you. ahoy, everybody. it's christmas! congratulations, spongebob. -your song worked. and not a moment too soon. santa should be here any minute. you ain't kidding. here he comes now. -oh, boy. santa, you made it. whoa, ho, ho, ho. cool your jets there, son. i'm afraid i'm the bearer of bad tidings. -oh, no. oh, yes. it seems you're all on my naughty list this year. naughty list? no buts about it. -you've all been a bunch of jerks. but-- - but nothing. coal for everyone... except plankton. all: -what? i'm just as surprised as you. but compared to the rest of you, he's been a saint. here you go, sheldon. i believe this is what you asked for. -me secret formula? how did you get that? i have my ways. um, dad. huh? -get out of me pocket, you foul goblin. but--but--but--but-- but--but-- but, santa, you've got it all wrong. on the contrary, spongebob. you're the worst of all. aah! -why, there you go right now, wreaking havoc. uh-oh. i am ready to destroy christmas. destroy santa. you want santa, you gotta get through me. -okeydokey. oh, my. is that all you got? aah! i'm outta here. -you do realize this counts as naughty? you put that jolly elf down, you big tin imposter. hot from the oven, full of lovin'. hurry up, santa, hop on. thanks again for saving my keister. -oh, it was nothing. you're clearly a very good lad, unlike the owner of that wind-up monstrosity. what have you got there? "if found, please return to the chum bucket." plankton! -uh-oh. hand it over, sheldon. don't make it any worse. okay, boys. let's give plankton what he deserves. -aah! so long, kiddies. bye, santa! ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. see you next year. -hey, has anyone seen patrick? gotcha! santa's workshop? i'm here, santa! i'm here! -i'm not going in there. santa. there's only one thing i wants for christmas, and it's to meet me hero spongebob squarepants. argh? ahh! -let go! no, no! i think stealing a mail truck definitely counts as naughty. wouldn't you say, potty? i sure would, santa. -both: merry christmas. these people aren't just people, they're your rivals. behold, it's a street full of rivals. look, there's one growing a rival in her belly. -double threat! and this one's sprouted wheels, devious bastard! we're living in a world in which everyone expects the best of everything, with the unhinged sense of entitlement that used to be the sole reserve of insane roman emperors or members of the bullingdon club. the more we want, the less satisfied we feel. happiness seems perpetually out of reach. -why? maybe, somewhere along the way, we started actually believing what this little electronic bullshitter was feeding us. this week, how tv ruined your life by guffing dreams into your living room. don't say it didn't. it did. -dance music plays oh, isn't life brilliant? i mean, just check out this place! the barman's a bloody great hunk. these two are flipping gorgeous. -he has got a haircut so cool, it's like he downloaded it from mars. and you, my friend, are part of all of this too, because you are living the dream. ha-ha-ha-ha! hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! hee-hee-hee-hee! -'ha-ha-ha-ha! hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! '. except you're not, are you? cos the dream's just that, it's a dream. -real life doesn't work like that. real life's an often fruitless quest for intermittent patches of happiness, interspersed with toil, ennui, divorce, bad haircuts, overpriced box-sets, stomach bugs, repetition, stomach bugs, gas bills, sexual dysfunction, justin bieber and wasps. this is real life. waste ground, tramps, bloke eating a rat on a stick, cameron's britain. -how's your rat? too chewy? yeah, see, even his lunch is disappointing, cos this is real life. that's why it's such a crushing mystery that half the time, your tv's eager to stick happy-go-lucky bleep-wits like that in your eye. why? -! why? ! why? ! -why? this is the world of aspirational television, aspirational being a wildly popular term in tv land. it's a world in which the majority of people are thin, attractive, witty, sassy, cool, fun-loving, thoughtful and happy, and enjoy a life of cocktails, dick and shoes. the basic theory behind aspirational programming is that if you watch beautiful, fun-loving people on tv, you'll somehow feel like they're your friends, whereas, in reality, of course, you're essentially just a tramp, staring at them from the other side of the room. -it seems every other show on tv these days has some sort of aspirational bent, but where did it all begin? like everything evil in the universe, it came from the world of advertising. many early adverts were functional things, little more than animated, flickering billboards, extolling the practical virtues of the products they were pushing. before his toast and tea, give him a good big plate of cornflakes. no cooking, no messy washing up, eaten and digested like lightning. -but as consumers began to realise that most products were basically the same - cos it's all just stuff, isn't it? ... advertisers began attaching fantasies to the products they were hawking. and often, this fantasy was an opulent vision that could be all yours for the price of something that tasted like a refrigerated human organ inside chocolate. as the 60s swung into view, cool was the primary dream. the lucky, cool adver-sods lived in a world of glamour, travel, foxy burka babes, and nice hair. -of course, instead of hair goo, they were actually flogging you a membership card. "buy this mcguffin, and you too could be one of the fortunate, "happy ones, complete with an enviably cool lifestyle." then the '70s arrived and everything outdoors was shit awful, but luckily the two or three members of the population who weren't outside rioting, or being bombed or gobbed on, were indoors, being distracted by eerie images of upmarket, aspirational living. -for that very special taste. as the 80s approached, the advertisers' desirable vision of the high life stuck. conspicuous consumption was being celebrated for its own sake. perhaps you could get your hand on luxury every day? but somewhere along the way, the glitz and aspirational values of commercials leaked out and started infecting popular dramas. -i first became aware of it in the 80s as shows like dallas brought the billionaire lifestyle to the plebeian masses. dallas was a sumptuous, conspicuously decadent soap, detailing the existence of a family of impossibly wealthy american oil shits, living empty lives. but even though it was clear money wasn't bringing the ewings happiness, it was impossible not to envy them. dallas was a massive hit, which triumphed in the money-worshipping 80s, which is why the bbc tried making its own version, howards' way, in which the sun-kissed oil barons were replaced by the rain-battered yacht set. it starred a regatta of barnacled curmudgeons, racing to acquire swank wagons and drink problems, the winner being the one who hoarded the biggest treasure trove of red things. -getting ahead involved endlessly barking business-flavoured claptrap at one another. the entire design department is going in the amalgamation. oh, god. shows like this helped shift our perception of tycoons and the importance of money itself. game shows are a sure fire indicator of how our relationship with money has changed. -not so long ago, everyone on game shows was chummy and nice. like this bunch. let's meet the blue team. hi, i'm debbie kay. hello, debbie. -max weatherstone. welcome, max. felix prow. hello, felix. welcome. -and i'm penny lowe. hello, penny, nice to see you. and the shows themselves largely revolved round the simple pleasure of participating in a glorified parlour game on a ropey set. who. had. -lots. of. money. once the game was done, the contestants were delighted to accept mere products as prizes. teasmade, please. -oh, you want the teasmade, do you? fine, you can have that. and the whole shebang ended on an upbeat note, as the fun gang of beaming neighbours waved goodbye to the cadavers back home. see ya! but now, cold steel menace and raw money is the order of the day, and the game is a dog-eat-dog accumulation festival, culminating in a bitter dispute. -you're pathetic. don't get personal. no, you are, you're pathetic. you're a selfish cow. it's like watching people knife each other to death in a skip, but less sexually arousing. -another harbinger of change is the shifting portrayal of wealthy people on screen. back in 1985, while their lifestyles looked glamorous, fictional billionaires like jr were clearly the bad guys. 20 years later, actual, living, breathing tycoons were being celebrated, and the more explicitly ruthless they were, the brighter their stars shone. you're sacked. you're sacked. -you're sacked. now get out. so, your big idea was a ginger beer stall. craig, this was your handiwork, was it? if i had the head of kawasaki over, and he asked to see an example of british marketing strategy, and i showed him this, what do you think he'd say? -since you're too dim to speak when prompted, i'll tell you - he'd say nothing. he's japanese. they're a polite species. he'd look at it and simply stand there, letting the shame hang silently in the air, like a hot fart in a cold waiting room. do you understand me? -no, said the little boy from thickington. do you know where thickington is? it's in backwardshire. twinned with mucklehead-on-dunce. what i'm saying is you're stupid. -if you were beaming right now, i'd tell you to wipe it off your fat face, cos even though he shat that out on his own volition, you're more to blame, if anything, for failing to intervene. regular johnny hands-in-pockets, aren't you? i suppose if your mum was drowning you'd stand and watch, would you, eating peanuts and blowing off each time she choked down another neck full of pond? well, the rap was a load of toot. what's the toffee like? -tastes like something left in a kettle after the dresden firebombing. you brew this or find it in a jar outside a welsh clinic? let the customer keep the cup, did you? do you know how much those cups cost me? didn't factor that in! -no, let benevolent king muggins pay the piper! well, this ain't cloud bloody cuck-bloody-oo land. you stunted jokes. you appalling, hairless little men. he moans shut it! -glue it shut, fold it over, roll it into a cone and work it up your dirt box! you're sacked. and you're sacked. you're both sacked. now get out. -send your parents in so i can have them both strangled. only two things separate us from the beasts. one, the beasts are terrible at changing duvet covers. they tend to pull them over their heads and then panic because the sun's disappeared. and two, the beasts don't use money. -they've got no idea what it is, or what it's for. have you ever seen a dog confronted by a credit card? he just looks like a four-legged idiot. money is terrible. it's just a depressing way of boiling our wonderful world down to a set of grey, eyeless, dickless little numbers and then using them to screw each other over. -"oh, one for me and one for you", "ooh you've got one more than me, i'm going to stab you in the ribs." that's what money is. i mean, look at the sort of twerp who understands money. just listen to this bellming twink! -..and their outlook for 2012 has just been raised from 64... once you've accumulated plenty of money, tv encourages you to invest it all in a box made of bricks. rich people used to stop us noticing how privileged they were by tinting their car windows or hiding behind high walls, where you couldn't kill them. but now, tv allows you a peek behind the gates and frankly it's harrowing. cribs is a successful variant of through the keyhole, in which a very rich person shows you the rewards society has granted them for being important and successful and loved, and you have to guess who in god's tit they are. -what up, mtv? it's your boy, mims, and welcome to my crib. come inside. oh, yeah, right, it's your boy, mims. we're going round your boy mime's house, everyone. -i don't know why he's famous. maybe he invented super noodles. it's effectively a shopping channel of stuff that could have been yours if you'd been born in america and learnt to rap rather than sitting on your arse in taunton, watching cribs. cribs dangles the aspirational carrot so impractically out of reach, they might as well put it on a million-mile long stick, tied to a rocket that's been fired into a black hole. people have always wanted nice houses, obviously. -they're not mad. but back in the day, your options were limited. if you were poor, you had to live in a cramped tin full of relatives and cholera. if you were middle-class, you had a bigger home, and if you were a member of the aristocracy, you lived in downton flipping abbey. people largely accepted whichever kind of hovel they'd been allotted. -then in the '80s, thatcher legalised council houses or whatever, and suddenly everyone wanted one. and glamorous tv ads made the dream look attainably easy. oh, washing machine, fridge, oven and hob. and we can afford it with wimpey's financial help, can't we? yeah, ask the man for approval, you stupid, downtrodden cow. -but having purchased the roofs over their heads, people didn't know what to do with themselves. what are you actually meant to do in a house? raise a family? start a bottle-top collection? sit there and die? -no wonder people went mad and started desperately trying to spruce their flipping death boxes up in a bid to kill time. tv soon noticed this and began knocking up cheapo home-improvement guff castles like changing rooms, which took the concept of interior design and married it to the concept of people slinging any old crap together and generated several hundred hours of television in the process. i thought we'd put it on there, like that. that's it? yeah, just screw it in. -yeah, wall moustache. you've doubled the value of that house, you genius. the ultimate in homemade pornography has to be pornography made from homes, televised aspirational showrooms such as channel 4's grand designs, which offers a tantalising glimpse of the kind of dream house you too could be dwelling in, if only you had several hundred thousand pounds and/or six months of leisure time to spare. the presenter, kevin mccloud, whose name even makes him sound like a man who's stepped out of a dream, fronts the show in the manner of an enthusiastic curator leading you on a personal tour around a museum of cosy, middle-class satisfaction. -because it's a listed building, the exterior will have to remain unchanged. i like these bits because they're like a video game, albeit a painfully middle-class one. in fact, i'd put grand designs' cgi walk-through at number one in my list of the four most middle-class video games of all time, just ahead of school run turismo, super artisan bread maker and nigel slater's coriander panic. largely, though, it's an envy generator, as we shit-sofaed shlubs look on, moving from mild interest to outright fury. -that's a nice fireplace. what a wonderfully huge kitchen! i love the way the windows let the light into their lovely house! oh, they've got a pool. oh, you've got a fucking pool! -thanks to shows like this, it feels like it's not enough to own a reasonably ok house any more. instead, you can feel a lingering sense of failure for dwelling inside anything other than an architecturally fascinating 4,000 ft translucent diagram with a gigantic mauve egg in the middle for you and your revolting kids to shit into. eugh, depressing. still, at least you can comfort eat. food is another aspirational touchstone. -it's not good enough to heat up a pie any more. no, today you're supposed to be some kind of gastronomic show pony with a signature dish of your own. this rat's coming along nicely. once upon a time, cookery programmes used to concentrate on the business of cookery. today, we're going to take a look at some recipes using offal, or spare parts, as i like to call it, because i never did like the word offal. -whatever you call it, offal or spare parts, liver and kidneys are certainly very good for us and most nutritionists suggest that we should eat them at least once a week to be healthy and get all the correct vitamins we need. whereas today's cookery shows are less about food and more about lifestyle. take the delicious miss dahl, in which a blonde supermodel floats around a lovely kitchen, bibbling on about foody-wood. good bit of lemon zest. i think to have a dish named after you, you have to be a bit of a diva. -i do, however, i think, have a bra named after me. much rather have a dish, but i have a bra. certainly makes my mouth water, which is handy, cos it also makes me feel like spitting at the screen. still, if the way you feed your family has become an aspirational lifestyle choice, so has having a family, full stop. hey, parent, remember when you biologically converted a spoonful of recently expelled gunk into one of these screaming attention seekers? -little did you realise that what you were doing was creating a living, breathing status symbol, although that is precisely what you were doing. despite being short and stupid and contributing nothing of value to society whatsoever, children are inexplicably held up as not just a good thing, but a miraculous thing, like enchanted forest deities whose every squeak, dribble and fart should be applauded like it's a mozart concerto. there are sickening playgroup franchises devoted to keeping them entertained. there's even a 24-hour channel consisting of nothing but the live coronations of toddlers. ..the whole world is subject to the power and empire... -and advertisers know how much parents adore their kids, so they shit out aspirational ads that prey on their paternal instincts and heighten the sense that these magical imps need protection. one problem with treating kids like delicate faberge eggs is you become so dementedly paranoid about any misfortune befalling them that you end up sealing them indoors around the clock, effectively locking them in a prison that serves organic food, in which every surface has been sprayed 86 times with anti-bacterial disinfectant before those fingers can touch it. so they sit there indoors, growing up in the flickering glare of aspirational imagery, soaking it all up - brightly-coloured kids' shows which make stardom seen both obtainable and desirable, swanky, seductive adverts where a celebrity tells you you're special... because we're worth it. -and glossily-packaged celebrity piddle like the saturday's 24/7, which largely consists of banal footage of singing five-knuckle shuffle the saturdays punting about like children, dressing up, drawing, playing with soft toys, dressing up, tickling each other, making and doing, dressing up, playing here we go round the mulberry bush, dressing up as their mums, dressing up, climbing the trees, face-painting and dressing up. one natural consequence of long-term exposure to this kind of piffle is the kids who watch it grow up wanting to be treated like celebrities themselves, becoming self-obsessed little emperors in the process. for evidence, tune in to mtv's my super sweet 16, not so much a show, more an orchestrated smear campaign against humankind in general. some of it is punishingly depressing. -for instance, here, a brat's mum buys her a 67,000 lexus for her birthday. happy birthday! what the hell? i don't want my car now. happy birthday... -no, i don't want my car now! mom! but she's unhappy, cos she didn't want it until the night of her birthday party. she's such an idiot. i just wanted a normal party. -she just ruined everything. you've ruined my life! i bleep hate you! the party's off! i think this might actually be an al-qaeda recruitment film. -far from being just an american thing, this kind of ostentatious kiddie spoiling has now leapt across the atlantic and onto our shores, and has its own british spin-off, my super sweet 16 uk. here, in a characteristically unedifying episode, we meet a young lad called freddy, who's more spoiled than the average ancient babylonian prince. he lives in a massive house, has a racehorse named after him, is driven everywhere in a huge limousine and thinks nothing of blowing a fortune on gaudy bling bullshit. freddy's birthday is fast approaching, but rather than setting up a facebook page or sending out invites, like a normal, earth-dwelling citizen, he holds an x factor-style audition to decide who can attend. are you all ready to be judged? -jesus christ. it's bad news. you'll have to spend a lot of money on a new outfit, because you're coming to the party. come on! come the night itself, he arrives in a choreographed simulation of a red carpet celebrity event. -we want freddy! we want freddy! it's a strange thing to think that within my lifetime, teenage aspirations have morphed from being able to pull off a pretty good bmx trick or having fewer spots to being showered with adulation like you're lady gaga and peter andre crossed with god. make no mistake, the next generation is going to be horrible. if i was education secretary, which i'm not, currently, -i'd force every school in the country to run cartoons telling kids they were worthless, just to counterbalance it all. howie the hare was gaily hopping down dinglebell way one morning, when he stopped. he looked up into the clouds, and he was struck by the notion of just how insignificant he was in the grand scheme of things, how it didn't matter if he wanted carrots for dinner or if his paw hurt, or even if he caught his cheek on some barbed wire and got an infected face and died. none of these things mattered, he realised, because despite what mummy kept saying, he didn't matter, which was why it didn't matter that moments later, he was killed by a meteorite. way back yonder in the past, folk only achieved a level of what might be termed celebrity by displaying a remarkable level of talent, whereas during the current, confused period of human history, it's apparently possible to become famous merely for inhaling and exhaling on camera. -the galaxy of fame has a complex, ever-shifting hierarchy. burning brightest are the proper stars, actors and musicians and the like. some become supergiants, like beyonce or brad pitt, and they're also insanely powerful. if george clooney called a live, globally-televised press conference during which he plucked out two of his chest hairs and said he'd post them to the first viewer to turn round and murder a member of their own family, thousands would perish. -there's a fun fact for you. this bona fide constellation also includes some dwarf stars. for example, adam woodyatt, who plays ian beale, is one of the most recognisable faces in britain. but because he plays a fish and chip shop owner, people consider him intrinsically low-rent and almost certainly treat him accordingly in the street. beale! -bealey-bob! 'ere, beale! mushy peas, bealey? mushy peas! that's the funny thing about appearing on television... people treat you like the thing you portray. -if the late former labour leader hugh gaitskell walked down the street, they'd react differently. gaitskell! gaitskell! who are ya? who are ya? -gaitskell, gaitskell! hughie! hughie! probably. then there's the newest cluster, not really stars at all, more huge balls of antimatter like jordan or lindsay lohan, who act as sanctioned hate sponges, feeding off the animosity of the general public, growing bigger and bigger until they implode. -the sheer amount of vitriol many people harbour for these anti-celebs is staggering. they hate them and hate them with the same dogged indignance of racists. ha! good! showbiz gawk rags exploit the fact that we both hate and love celebrities, which is why their every imperfection gets looked over and circled by their vile staff. -that's definitely a weird bruise. let's go with "weird bruise". it won't be long until they start offering an interactive online service which lets their disgusting readers zoom into each photograph in infinite detail, like google bloody earth, tagging and logging each minuscule flaw so we can build up a comprehensive overview of how many horrid bits we can unearth on the surfaces of the world's most beautiful women. if even the world's most inherently gorgeous people are subject to that kind of scrutiny, how can joanne average compete? -she can't, obviously, so her life becomes one long, slow emotional breakdown. and she looks like a pig when she cries. still, at least no one's judging ordinary people, apart from the television. style by jury is a tv show as basic and cruel as an assault in a railway station toilet. each week, a woman is invited onto the show in the belief she's being auditioned for a makeover programme. -and she is, except the audition takes place in front of a one-way mirror with a jury behind it, eerie fellow humans preparing to judge her. on our jury today, a lawyer, a flight attendant, a writer. we've asked them to give us their honest first impressions. jury, are you ready? ready. -let's bring her in. then in comes the quarry. pigtails? she looks like a 50-year-old schoolgirl. she looks like a little girl trapped in a 60-year-old body. -it's like she takes a short bus everywhere. look at the hair. what a judgmental, fat, bald, bearded arsehole. do you live by yourself? i live with my mom, actually. -that explains it. it seems almost as if she's married to her mother. i think her mother dresses her ugly so that no one will date her and she stays at home and takes care of her. not that they just judge her outward appearance. no, they judge her inner life too. -what do you do for fun? um...watch a lot of tv. i like to watch movies, but i stay inside the house a lot. looks as though she's hurting inside emotionally, mentally, spiritually. she seems like a very lonely person. -she looks like she's given up on herself and on life. having established she's not televisual enough, said dumpling gets examined by terrifying dentists, zapped with some kind of face-nice-ifying laser and restyled until she looks like she actually belongs on tv. there are also shows which aim to offer an internal makeover by making normal people come to terms with their own bodies, such as naked, a bbc three psychological boot camp horrorfest in which people who feel inadequate are encouraged to vent those feelings for their own good, and our entertainment. shout, "i am fat" so that you blow away every single statement you've ever thought you heard, every glance that you think somebody might have passed you. -i am fat! my god. actually... louder than that. let it go. -let this go. i am fat! that was amazing. i am disturbed by this programme. and once those pesky feelings of inadequacy have been flushed away, they're encouraged to get their tits out for their own good. -and our entertainment, again. hold on to your boobs...good girl. it's like a weird sex cult that preys on the vulnerable, minus the exciting bit at the end where the police surround the compound and the leader convinces everyone to eat a cyanide lasagne. still, little wonder the normal ordinary person feels worthless, because the aspirational whirlpool is, if anything, speeding up. every image on television is growing more glamorous and dreamlike by the moment. -the adverts are becoming more unhinged in their desperate quest for things to aspire to. even everyday products have lost their minds, and they don't even have minds. wear jewels and flowers every day. every day? i'm not elton john. -infuse your clothes with the elegant fragrance of white diamond and lotus flower. diamonds i've always thought they reek. must be a classy product, this, something really exclusive. ..part of the new infusions collection from bold 2in1, a little more luxury in your laundry. -bleep me, we're doomed. as for food, even dog food, which used to be flogged with a gruff, matronly friendliness... looks good, it cuts well and it's meaty. it's solid nourishment. ..has become a gourmet signature dish for you to plop down in front of some four-legged caesar. -carefully-sourced ingredients, balanced with selected vegetable toppings. won't look so nice when he shits it out down the park! actually, it probably will. even cribs got more extreme with the incredible teen cribs. how are you meant to aspire to be someone's child? -! enough of that, let's check out my spa. and the worship of raw money got so bad there were rap videos which look more like satirical visions of empty excess. it's not clear who this is demeaning the most - women, black people in general or me, the viewer. i haven't seen that much money being mindlessly thrown at a shuddering arse since cnn hired piers morgan. -before long, behaving like a massive, swaggering twat wasn't just acceptable, it was openly encouraged. who does p diddy think he is, king? i am king. the new fragrance for men from sean john. you am 'king unbelievable. -faced with all these unattainable dreams, little wonder so many people in so many places got themselves wedged so deep in debt. people bought houses and bragged about how the value kept zooming up through the skylight. in fact, they didn't seem to be houses at all, but enchanted coin-shitting machines. it was all a collective delusion, and none of it was real. and it wasn't just homeowners, the whole world had dreamed itself into a wistful financial thought bubble, which popped. -today, stock markets across the world tumbled, imploded, continued to collapse like deflated dirigibles. and what could you do then? according to this creepy ad, you could flog some of the bling you'd accumulated to dale winton. how magical. my son is desperate for a laptop, so i'm hoping for 150 quid. -david, good news? £195. cash my gold. i haven't got any gold, dale. do you accept kidneys? -and when the money ran completely dry, so did all your dreams and you'd lose the one thing you were still clinging on to, your aspiration kennel, your home. still, if you lost your house, you could always apply some of those grand design style tips to your new abode. simon and juniper's new home consists of an audacious cardboard hexahedron, situated in traditional alleyway surroundings. a flap-style entrance leads to a cosy interior combination living room/sleeping area, insulated with reclaimed newsprint flooring. best of all, the entire structure is recyclable and can be used to bury their bodies, should their life together come to an abrupt end during a cold snap. -i say nuts and boo to all these prettified, insidious televisual delusions. best to hammer shut your dream flap, so you don't want for anything anyway and you're content to squat around in your own steaming muck. and if it all gets too much, do what i do and glug your way to fantasy island on the good ship liquid brain killer. ha-ha! hee-hee, hoo-hoo! -mmm! mmm! mmm! yeah. or you could always switch your tv off, stop living on some kind of rubbish tip and actually just enjoy yourself, like me. -ha-ha-ha! hoo-hoo-hoo! he wails hoo-hoo-hoo! ha-ha-ha! -hur-hur-hur! hoo-hoo-hoo! ha-ha-ha! hur-hur-hur! ha-ha-ha! -hee-hee-hee! hur-hur-hur! hoo-hoo-hoo! ha-ha-ha-ha! hur-hur-hur! -hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! ha-ha-ha! hoo-hoo! ha-ha-ha! hur-hur-hur! -take it you don't work here, then. i don't work anywhere. that's why i'm here. got any jobs going? straight for the jugular! -what's your background? property, mainly. but i can turn my hand to most things. we were looking for someone to help with our property pages a while back. fantastic. -i'll give you my card. just excuse me one minute. wow. what happened there? social annihilation by cheese. -i was just on the scent of some actual work as well. unemployment by cheese. yeah. do you work here too? no, i run an art gallery over in the merchant city. -it's called the space. sadie anderson. oh, cool. jo glass. i'm lauren's partner. -you are still here. you all right? what you looking at? it's my mate's house. she thinks she might have a stalker. -where is that? birchmore street? you know you could get suspended for this. i know. i just had to check it out. -i'm nearly done now. i never saw this. ok? ok. course, i meet a lot of actresses in my line of work. -and most of them fall for me. oh, could we have another bottle, please? oh, they don't say anything but i can always tell by the way they look at me. a lot of straight girls want to work out their lesbian fantasies on a girl like me. oh, that's lovely. -we're a rare breed, you and me. pretty dykes. i mean, it's a bit of dogs home out there, isn't it? oh, well, i wouldn't necessarily say that. i mean... -i had this thing last season with shelley prince. er... you know, she plays jessica in cardiac care. right. and i also had a little thing with gina summers. -you know, she plays jessica's sister, shae. yes. so, you could say, i've had both of the moncrieff twins. that's hilarious. i guess you don't get the same calibre of star in theatre as you do in television. -you know, i could probably get you a meeting for cardiac care. oh, that's... that's sweet but i'm pretty busy with chekhov at the moment, so... chekhov? who's he? ! -cardiac care is today's shakespeare. i know, that was keith white in the partick daily post. so, where did you meet lauren, sadie? oh, i came in to pitch for work. but she didn't have anything for me. -oh, not leaving many stones unturned, are you? here she comes. hey! surprised to see me? gavin cancelled at the last minute. -i could make it after all. must be a nice surprise for you, lauren. yeah. so, do you two know each other? no, we just met in the loo. -i hope you're introducing sadie to some useful people. i've got to go speak to an investor before she leaves. don't worry about us. go and charm the pants off her. ok. -and that's when i realised i could make some extra cash foot modelling. ah. i wonder what's happened to ed and nora? yeah. i'm going to go and find them. -hey! did you...? i've missed you. ah, that's... that's nice. er... -really quiet. cos my flatmate's asleep. ok. ah! wha...? -say, "stand and deliver." what? i'm a beautiful princess. and you're a fearless highwaywoman holding up my carriage. ok. -um... stand and deliver. now rub my royal lady mound. ok, i'm... what's up? -did you want to be princess, tess? no. no. i'm just... i'm feeling really ill, suddenly. -oh, no. what's the matter? i just feel really... sick. and i've got a real bad headache. my leg... hurts. -your leg? yeah. yeah, it's like there's a sort of... tingling in my lower thigh. oh, shit! shall i call nhs 24? -see if we should take you to hospital? no, no, it's fine. i just need to rest. my housemate's a doctor, so... why didn't you say? -i'll go get her. no, no, no. you can't. you can't wake her. she's got work tomorrow. -i'm sure she won't mind in an emergency. no, no. really. is this her room here? is there a doctor in the house? -hang on. everything all right? no. it's tess. she's really ill. -what's the matter, tess? are you feeling sick? yeah. really sick. is it something that you ate? -no. right, well, um... ok. yeah, let's have a look at this. so, you're feeling sick. -look up. and anything else? just a really, really bad headache. and that tingling in your leg. yeah. -it's like a tingling in my upper thigh. you said lower before. it's moved. a tingling in your upper thigh? that's quite an unusual presentation. -i don't like the sound of this. what do you think it is? could be bacterial hydritis, in which case we're going to have to take her in. so, um, if you could maybe go home. oh, i don't mind staying and keeping an eye on tess while you sleep. -oh, no, no, really. go home. why? do you think it's infectious? unfortunately, very. -right. well, if you're sure there's nothing i can do. all right, but, um... thanks. yeah. -yeah, thanks, meg. ok. bye. so, sadie, i really must introduce you to some useful people. there's no need. -i've already landed myself a plum job. she's coming to work for me. no! i mean, sadie's in property. i'm a saleswoman, actually, lauren. -it doesn't matter if it's art or houses. she's perfect for the gallery. means i can finally give that stroppy french cow the boot. she's been on a warning for months now. well, right. -congratulations. darling, i've just got to pick up a few things. a few bits and pieces from the office. then we can go for dinner. yeah. -perhaps you'd like to join us, sadie? no, thanks. i think i'll leave you two to your evening. what the fuck are you doing? i told you. -i need a job. with my wife? are you fucking mad? no. just very practical. -you're a bit paranoid, aren't you? you're not going to ask me to leave, then? lexy, it's sam. will you let me in? hey. -hey, are you all right? it was true. cat was fucking frankie. what? they were meeting here too. -wait a second. are you sure? i saw her on cctv. she was here before she died. that's fucking... -she could have told me. she could have given me that at least. frankie, that useless bitch! ok. come here. -i haven't changed the sheets. i've done everything else. i've packed up her clothes. hey, sam. come on. -sam, come on. sam! come on, don't! don't, sam. stop, sam! -sam, stop, sam. don't! i don't want it! not like this, ok? sorry. -i'm sorry. no. no, sam. sam, wait. i didn't... -sam, wait! the fate of the world was at stake in the cell games. however, the challenger was a little weird. cell is confronted by mister satan. -now to finish you! --buzz off. "bam!" and now, goku and cell are about to face off against each other. dokkan dokkan tsuite'ru dokkan dokkan paradise -genki dama ga hajiketobu ze go go let's do it ugomeku ayashii enajii yousha wa shinai ze mite'ro yo inochi ni kaete mo mamoru yo ai suru yuuki wo tsuyosa ni kaero -yarinuku kiai de pinchi wo koete'ku tegowai yatsu hodo wakuwaku mo dekkai ze dokkan dokkan tsuite'ru dokkan dokkan chansu sa rakkii no kaze ni byunbyun notte -dokkan dokkan tsuite'ru dokkan dokkan ashita mo kotae wo mou tamashii wa shitte'ru no sa dragon soul! "showdown! cell vs. son goku." -s-satan, the hope of all mankind, has just lost. is it possible that the earth is now doomed? m-mister satan! um, how is it that you lost? i-i just lost my footing. -huh? your... footing? that's right! um... it looked as though you went flying away. but don't you worry about it. -once i take a little break, i'll go at him like i mean business! h-he still doesn't realize how mismatched their levels are? he's a world champion fool. th-the time has come. yeah. -all right, let's see it, kakarrot. we're going to lead off with you, are we? i was hoping to save the best for last. i hear you're able to use all of our moves. after a fashion. -the mystery is about to be revealed. the reason why goku-san has been so unusually confident. people of the world, please rest at ease. mister satan may have slipped earlier, and landed outside of the ring, but after a short break, he will fight cell again! while satan is taking that break, one of the folks from that clueless bunch who will not heed our warnings appears intent on fighting. -let's leave him be. death is the only cure for stupidity, after all. what are your impressions, mister satan, after having observed this nameless contestant? absolutely unfit. just looking at his form and his stance, it's clear that he is an amateur. -and, if he were to face me, i would defeat him in just two seconds. i can only think that he's utterly crazy. he probably won't last five seconds against cell. good grief, this won't be much of a break. -there's just no helping folks like this. well, without a little sideshow like this, my match won't be quite as thrilling. goku is incredible. yeah. he's thoroughly on guard. -it's more than just that. even at a time like this, when he's facing down cell, he is taking a natural stance. you could even say that he's looking forward to this. which shows that goku-san has his super saiyan state completely under his control. come on! -r-ringout? ! did he get him? ! well? -did you have a slight taste of victory there? ha! don't make it so bald-faced. i know that there ain't no way you'll be beaten that easily. you won't show me what you've really got up your sleeve, so i thought i'd try yanking your chain. -and you won't show me what's up yours. i'll start showing you now, little by little-- just how much of a difference there is in our powers. i can't wait. you sure seem to enjoy fighting, son goku. you're every bit the saiyan fighting maniac. -it looks to me like you're the same way. for me, it depends on the opponent. me, too. ka me ha... me ha! why? -why isn't father fighting like he means it? hmph, i knew it. kakarrot is just fooling around with cell. but then, cell seems to be doing the same. now then, that should be enough warming-up exercise, right? -yeah. th-the full-fledged mortal combat is about to begin. b-by any chance, was the fight put up by that nameless warrior just now not incredible? what do you say, satan-san? um, satan-san...? -a-about that fighting just now? ah! n-not bad, i suppose. h-he's more capable than i thought, but he seems to be pushing himself pretty hard, and that's all he's got. son goku... -he is indeed accustomed to fighting. he is head and shoulders above the others. he seems even stronger than i imagined. if i let my guard down for just a second, he'll wipe me out in the blink of an eye. all right! -the look in goku-san's eye has changed. he's coming at me at full power. -no-oh, wow! -u-unbelievable! what power! -i-impossible! y-you mean, his ki is still rising? ! w-what exactly was that just now? just when it appeared that the nameless warrior's body began to glow, suddenly, it was like there was a sort of explosion. -what could this be? right now, there is what looks like a golden flame billowing out from the nameless warrior. father... th-the same thing is now happening to cell. it looks like these petty tricks get around. -it's about to start. they're about to clash with each other at full power. -come on. -yeah. very good, son goku. -this is what i was after. unless our abilities are closely matched, to a certain extent, the fighting just isn't as fun. yeah. i think so, too. th-that's his true... -kakarrot's true power now? i-incredible. goku-san is indeed exceptionally incredible. his ki really is awesome! he sure is pouring it on! -why is everyone so surprised? sure, i think it's amazing, but... hey, did you get all that? please, don't ask the impossible. i can't follow anything that fast. -n-no, i guess not. the fighting just now was also at incredible speed, wasn't it, mister satan? yeah, it wasn't bad. this should be good, son goku. -w-what? --isn't that...? shishin no ken! w-why, that rotten...! you know, this technique ain't gonna work on me. we'll see. -damn it, that technique had the drawback of reducing one's power by splitting into four people... but his power and speed are unchanged from when there was just one of him, isn't it? yeah. i hate to admit it, but cell has mastered that technique even better than i did. son goku, do you now realize the depth of my power? -yeah. not bad. but then, my absolute, ultimate power is more than just this. i-is that...? tch, now he's using my technique. -take this! i've been waiting for this. for the four of you to split up! he got him! kienzan! --that kienzan! -he's controlling it like my soki-dan! ha! freeza's cells tell me that you're going to come right up to me, then duck away at the last moment. however i'm not falling for that trick! -i figured on that, as well. you ain't gonna beat me with nothing but other people's moves! you're just acting like a poser. perhaps you're right. then let me wrap it up with this one... -he's raising his ki as high as it will go! w-what is he about to do? ! ka me... don't do it! -as elevated as your power is, if you shoot a kamehame-ha ha... s-stop! ...me ha! up here, cell! how? -without a doubt, that kamehame-ha should have hit you. yeah, i couldn't get out of its way. that's right, you've popped in and out of nowhere before, too. instantaneous movement. i'm able to do it. -instantaneous movement? i see. that move could be a problem. i wanna ask you something, too. if i hadn't flown up into the sky, would you still have shot your kamehame-ha, and destroyed the earth? -well, who knows? then again, i knew you had no choice but to fly up. hmph, so that's it. you're pretty crafty, huh? i will say this much, though. -i would think nothing of destroying the earth. it would just diminish my fun, that's all! i'm pretty sure of my speed, too. cell's speed is stunning! does goku have a chance at victory? -motto motto habataite tsuyoku motto motto hayaku hito wa hashiridashitara sora datte toberu n da sono mune ni fukihajimeru yuuki no kaze ni noreba ii shiranai uchi karada ga uku darou tamesu kiryoku ga hane ni naru motto motto habataite tsuyoku motto motto hayaku -dare mo daichi kettara sora datte toberu n da h-heya, i-i'm piccolo... ahem... goku and cell's moves are incredible. hmph, mine are better! -well your face is set in shock, considering. what was that? i dare you to say it again! let these images burn into your eyes. you don't often get to see a fight like this. -next time on dragon ball z kai, "the highest level of battle! defeat cell, son goku." curse you, kakarrot, for putting up such an awesome fight! previously on sanctuary... -this is hollow earth. what if this place is the source for all abnormals? both above and beneath the surface? it's a real game-changer. it seems to be scanning us. -" akhkharu ." "blood demon." it must be detecting traces of the source blood in our dna. i'm not sure that's a good thing. i can only assume that the gateway has the same defenses. -which means we'll need some kind of shield to get past it. and you're the only one who can build it. nikola! well, i hope you're all happy now. i'm ordinary. -here's to the glorious vampire race, once mighty, now extinct. i want my life back. nikola, the door! being a living magnet, it's not exactly on par with being heir to the greatest race in all of history. it makes sense, in an evil way. -if this trip is your way of apologizing for leaving me behind last time... yes? you're officially forgiven. i thought you might approve. approve? -this is amazing. the last known stronghold of praxian society before they retreated into hollow earth. well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. for all we know, the data i collected from the holographic map could be inaccurate. oh, really? -interesting. uh-huh. you know, this reminds me of when we were in egypt looking for tut's tomb, huh? ah... those wild early days: no ground-penetrating radar, no satellite imagery. -we were barely better than grave-robbers. five years of searching, and then one day howard carter just points at the spot. the man was a genius, in his own way. also, he had excellent taste in claret. -hello. dead end? mm-hm. i can feel there's power being drawn off behind here. no visible wiring... -a doorway? yeah, possibly. i could disengage the locking mechanism with a magnetic pulse. and you're confident of that? remember this moment, helen. -we're about to make history. again. oh, my god, look at this. it's the ancient script of the sanguine vampiris. vampires? -according to the map, this was a praxian stronghold. not anymore. it says here that my ancestors drove them from this place and made it a fortress of their own. nikola, wait. if this was a vampire stronghold, they'd have fortifications. -the vampire shield. take off your bracelet! nikola! dammit! == sync, corrected by elderman == -stay still. what hit me? some sort of energy beam. this room must be defended by vampire technology. and the source blood shield hid my vampire dna. -it perceived you as being an ordinary human. oh, that hurts. all right, how bad is it? let me see. no, not a good idea. -the only thing keeping my insides from spreading out across the floor is the magnetic field i'm generating to hold them in. dear lord. all right, stay calm. you know, you realize the thing about traps is that they're meant to be escape-proof, particularly when they're designed by vampires. well, there has to be some other way out of here. -how long can you hold on? for the rest of my life. uk lottery winnings, plonk. canadian pharmacy, double-plonk. delete, delete, delete. -why don't you let henry install a spam filter for you? same reason why you wait until he's out of town before setting up your new game console. yeah, he never just does it. exactly. he always has to design a new perfectly optimized system, and six months later, you're still waiting to play guitar hero. -hmm. and besides, i'm shutting this account down anyway. i haven't used it in, like, a year. just making sure there is nothing in here i need. -i definitely do not need to enlarge that. what's up? nigerian prince in trouble? uh, no. i just... -gotta do something. wow, you move fast for a big guy. what's going on? nothing. i'm just going for red bull. -you're going for bull, all right. let it go, okay? it's nothing you need to worry about. your pulse is thin. you're losing blood into the cavity around the wound. -"if you cut me, do i not bleed?" oh, no shakespeare, please. do you remember the leaves of autumn that time we met at oxford? you need to stay focused. your body's going into shock. -that crimson dress you were wearing... you'll start to feel cold, and then you'll want to sleep. yes. you can't give in to it. you need to keep that magnetic field going. -any more blood loss, and-- any sensible woman would have worn black, you know, to fit in, but not helen magnus. oh, no. nikola! ah! -holy mother of-- you need to stay awake! there are other ways of getting my attention. i never knew you could be so cruel. i'm trying to keep you alive! -why? i have a hole through my vital organs, and we're miles from surgical facilities. you are in denial. if i could recalibrate a stunner to cauterize the arterial damage-- you could buy me a slow, agonizing death instead of a decent one? -even i don't deserve that. you need to keep the blood circulating while we figure this out. helen... you're going to have to find another date to the prom. you had to rush in, didn't you? -you couldn't wait ten seconds to scan for weapons. when have you ever known me to put common sense ahead of intellectual curiosity? there's only one more shot of epi left. you wouldn't happen to have any morphine in there instead? if i gave you an analgesic, it would suppress your respiration. -you'd just go to sleep. in your arms. and bleed out, instantly. also true. is that really what you want? -no. tempting as it may sound, i have a different final request. it's not what you think. read to me. -you serious? helen, we're surrounded by the greatest trove of vampire knowledge the world has ever seen. it's killing me-- i'm being robbed of my last great discovery. i've spent my life trying to piece together my ancestry. -come on, read. all right. "the armies of the third great kingdom gathered... our enemies recruited unnatural creatures of land, and sea, and air, marred by fin, and fur, and... scales." -they must be referring to abnormals. it looks like they fought side by side with the early praxians, and then when the praxians retreated into hollow earth-- those abnormals went with them. it would explain why some of their species are so similar to our own. you're welcome. -"the weak who remained stayed to serve." ah, the golden age of vampires of which you're so fond. the age of human slavery. nikola! keep reading. -"the warrior queen afina and her court were laid to rest in state, to rise again in the afterlife..." no, that's not quite right. "kianaru"? "after time." "after time... -to rule into eternity." i like the sound of that. maybe i'll meet her on the other side. wait a second. "laid to rest in state..." -there's another character. laid to rest... "here." good heavens. it's the queen of the vampires. just think, nikola. -we're the first people to see this tomb in thousands of years. nikola, no! what are you doing? help me up. are you out of your mind? -i'm not missing out on this. help me up. come on. look at her. perfectly preserved, like an insect in amber. -they must have mastered crystal replication on an atomic level. oh, don't sound so surprised. these are vampires we're talking about after all. every advance we've seen in our lifetimes, nothing but a pathetic attempt to recreate what my race achieved before the humans even left the caves. just leave me here among vampire royalty, my only peers. -i have a better idea. move aside. what are you doing? if there is even an ounce of fluid in that corpse, a few cells of unaltered vampire dna... helen, i'm shocked. -are you offering to re-vamp me? if you get the hell out of my way i am. i have never been more attracted to you than i am at this moment. bloody hell, what is this thing made of? we need something stronger. -on praxis, i used a laser scalpel to cut through the hide of an earth-moving abnormal. now, it's the same principle, i just need to focus the beam... no, no, no, you'll overload the power condenser. do you have a better idea? unprotected platinum coils? -wolf boy... have a word with him about power efficiency. i doubt henry planned on this kind of repurposing. that's no excuse. secure the oscillator, or you'll get vibration. -yeah, i got it, thank you. yeah, well, get this wrong, you might as well pull the pin on a radiation grenade. which is starting to sound more and more attractive. all right. ready or not... -time for a field test. ah! damn, it's overheating. yeah, i'd say i told you so, but, you know, it wouldn't bring me much satisfaction. how deep? -a few millimeters. don't you dare! this is not over! it's not deep enough. can we pull out the explosive core and pack this borehole? -nikola, no! oh, come on... come on! nikola... bloody hell. -nikola! hang in there. oh, come on. fight! fight. -i'm back, baby. hey, you know anything about, uh... uh, taminsails? yes. they're an amphibious abnormal farmed for their tsh glands. -it's supposed to give a powerful high. yeah. the buyers get them as eggs, they harvest the glands every six weeks, and they just rip 'em out, no anesthetic. yeah, i'd love to put a stop to it, but these places come and go, and the guys behind them stay hidden. well, what if i say -i have a line on where to find one of them? guy named caster. operates out of a warehouse on the north shore. i'll make some calls. we could coordinate with law enforcement, get a tac team in and do some recon. -no, we need to move on this now, will. get your law enforcement in place, 'cause i'm gearing up now. you guys are free to join me if you think you can keep up. are you sure you're feeling all right? are you kidding? -i feel great, better than i have in years. so, how did you manage to-- wow. never underestimate the power of a woman's determination. well, the... the stunner beam must have weakened the crystal matrix-- -oh, right, right. it didn't have anything to do with your fear of losing me, or... don't let it go to your head. now, can we get out of here, please? allow me. -let's see... well, the mortar has been reinforced with a carbon compound. hard as diamond. so you can't break through it? well, i'm not exactly at full strength. -i'm hungry enough to drink cow's blood. ah. i've got two packets of peanuts and a protein bar. ew, no. all right, stand back, i'll see what i can do. -dammit. these walls are part of the original praxian fort. they were built to withstand the strength of a vampire. so kind of you to say. why would they build a booby trap without failsafes? -i mean, there has to be some sort of control to override it. i found these markings, thought they might be sensors, but nothing seems to operate the door. right. well, maybe they're burnt out. that's odd. -the crystal's degrading. it must be a reaction to the piercing of the outer layer. my god. she's alive. we have to get her out of there. -we're not equipped to handle a living vampire. excuse me, one of us is a living vampire. helen, come on, this is our chance to come face to face with the last remnant of an extinct civilization. i agree. i'm just saying we need to wait until we can get a proper team down here. -a proper team? how long is that going to take? come on, the crypt is disintegrating on top of her. i'm sorry. once it was opened and the air got in, all bets were off. -and i opened it, i get it, thank you. i'm not blaming you, but, yes, you woke her up, so now deal with it. do you want her to die in there? no, of course not. good, because i would hate to think that the only creature that's not worthy of your protection is me and my-- my kin. -i just... h-how did you do that? i'm a vampire. infrared imaging shows a hot spot in the northwest corner. a lot of small bodies packed in tight. -the taminsails. now, we got a tac team covering the northwest exit. a couple guards are coming and going, but no customer traffic. they keep production and sales separate so they don't draw the cops. these creatures have been living in captivity, so they might be a little aggressive when we try to move them. -suit up, let's go. there's no need to be afraid. it's okay, we want to help you. come on. do you think she even understand us? -i don't know. your blood. nikola. what did i tell you? the most brilliant, elegant race in history. -they solved the babel problem by embedding communications in blood. it's remarkable. you've been asleep for a very a long time. how are you feeling? i was in stasis, not asleep. -no need to patronize me. noted. imagine a business card with a drop of blood in the printing. you'd eliminate cultural misunderstandings instantly. global rule becomes a legitimate possibility. -can we focus for one minute? yeah, right, sorry, we'll talk about that later. i-i would love to talk about that later... where's my brother? kalmin? -there haven't been vampires on earth for a very long time. but i carry on that legacy. dormant gene, activated by exposure to pure vampire blood. helen, please. why do you have to make it sound so clinical? -my true nature was re-awoken with these dormant genes, and, uh, my vision, and, uh, my genius, all my gifts, from my ancestors, from you, practically wasted in this primitive modern world. what about the rest of my people? there's been a shift in power. and our beautiful cities? all that we built? -yeah, it's... all a little different than what you remember. thank you. if we're the only two left, i'll have to rely on you. it would be my honor. -i have so much to learn from you, and that's not something i ever say. i can attest to that. yeah. and what's your story? are you of the kingdom? -well, it's a... little complicated. just waiting for your signal, over... four-three standing by. go, go, go! -down! down now! down! now! that's a pretty bad move. -you guys want to walk away. we're here for the boxes. let's get these boxes. so, you were at war with the praxians for centuries. they were terrified of us. -tried to destroy us any way they could, and then they ran into the earth like rats. we took over all their old forts. but it says there that you were dead. you were sent to the afterlife, or "after-time". " kianaru " isn't the afterlife. -it's the future. right. right, the future. how could i miss that? so, you were deliberately put into stasis for thousands of years? -when everyone in the royal family's immortal, it's hard to pass on the throne. my ancestors kept trying to kill each other, so we had to come up with a better way. you took turns ruling. just so evolved. i left my brother, kalmin, in charge. -he was supposed to revive me. but that never happened. no, i've heard of kalmin. the legends say that he ruled for a thousand years before he was assassinated by his youngest son, which means that he left you in there to rot while he kept your kingdom for himself. but look who's still around. -you and i, nikola, not him. he can have the past. we'll take the future. yes. none of us will have very much of a future if we don't get out of here. -afina, can you tell us how to reopen the door that locked us in here? the security system was designed to protect me from my enemies. anyone who broke in would be killed instantly and sealed in with me. yes, the egyptians did the same thing thousands of years later. how did you set it off if you have vampire blood? -ah, well, that's a story for another day. the question is, how do we get out of here now? there's an escape hatch behind that wall. a human wouldn't be able to shift the weight, but one of us could. if you have the strength. -i'm afraid i don't. i need to feed. nikola and i have devised a regimen of nutrients and animal plasma. it gives you everything you need, but we'll have to wait until we get to the surface. animal plasma, that's what you eat? -well, it's not as bad as it sounds. it sounds terrible. but there is a local antelope that i used to be quite fond of. nikola... don't worry. -we'll figure everything out. that corridor leads to another part of the cavern. only my most trusted servants knew of it, and now you two. thank you. could you excuse us for just one minute? -i don't like this. we have no idea where that tunnel leads. why would she lie to us? the woman is used to ruling over a population of serfs. you don't think she's working her own agenda? -look, if she was actually bent on world domination, why would she complicate our trip out of here? you're assuming that all of us are going. you're familiar with the fox and the chicken parable? i am. which are you in this story, the chicken or the fox? -the farmer. i don't feel safe letting her go first, and i certainly don't feel safe leaving her behind. you have a sasquatch for a butler and you travel the world with history's most notorious murderer, and now you don't feel safe? helen, green is not a good color on you. don't be ridiculous. -she's intelligent, powerful, remarkably well- preserved for her age, everything i look for in a woman, and unlike someone i know, she's actually interested in me. i'm not engaging in this childish conversation. the more you deny it, the truer it is. oh, that's an excellent scientific method. thank you. -really, really good-- i can hear you, you know. vampire, remember? you need to learn to trust me. and if i don't? -that's when bad things start to happen. afina! what are you doing? changing the rules! welcome to the new age. -nikola! don't worry, he won't be disturbing us. that old trap was designed for a true vampire... a warrior, not a schoolboy. why did you do that? -i plan to do much better than a mixed-blood mongrel. you, though, will be... quite useful. how? i'm less vampire than he is. -exactly. a blood donor that stays young and fresh forever, but without the bitter aftertaste. i hope you choke on it. easy... these things are expensive. -so, you want to tell me? tell you what? why this is so important to you? $63,450. that's how much i made smuggling tam eggs. -it started when i was 17. they'd make a cash drop, i'd get the eggs, collect the balance on delivery. okay. the guy i was running for said he was selling them as pets, but they weren't pets. -well, you were a kid. you were trying to survive. you don't think there were other ways to survive? i made a choice because i was good at it. yeah, you were good at finding abnormals. -good at turning them over to the highest bidder. you know that's not who you are anymore. it doesn't matter, will. it's who i was. yeah. -well, we all have a history. yeah, except mine keeps coming back to bite me in the ass. you'll never succeed. i already have. i'm alive, aren't i? -the entire human race will stand against you. you think so? in my experience, the human race never stood together on anything. well, they won't tolerate enslavement, that's for sure. you really don't understand your own people, do you? -they want to be told what to do. they crave it. they elect leaders for the sole purpose of taking difficult decisions out of their hands. i'm here to offer a better alternative. dictatorship? -in exchange for advancement, knowledge, progress-- we've done just fine on our own. oh, yes, you've come so far, and yet, i bet you still spend all your time fighting, over land, resources, or my favorite, conflicting beliefs. am i right? aw, it's all right. it's human nature, and that's why i know i'll succeed. -i know you better than you know yourselves. ow. ow... oh, that hurts. ah... -how very nice. no, no... oof! that back-stabbing, blood-sucking bitch! there doesn't have to be a war. -we take you back to the sanctuary. you could learn from us, see what we've become. and then what, we'll share power equally? please. you won't win. -we have weapons that could devastate the entire planet. your loss. you'd have nothing left to rule. then we'll start over. you're so shocked. -it's lovely. you would really destroy the world just so you could conquer it? why not, if it's there for the taking? oh, come on, you didn't think you'd rule forever. for an inferior species, -i'd say you had a pretty good run. as did you, until we defeated you. that won't happen again. we're going deeper. you spotted that, did you? -i thought we were going to the surface. we will. we just have to make a quick stop along the way. there's that shocked look again. you know, i expected more from you, helen. -you read the legend. "afina laid to rest to await kianaru , the time of returning." but not just afina. that's right. afina and her court. -what is this place? my court. my warriors, and they'll be very pleased with the blood donor i've brought them. not as crude as the way you released me. have i thanked you for that, by the way? -i could always put you back in. it's too late for that, i'm afraid. the first seeds of a new master race. you're lucky to be witnessing it first hand-- you should not have done that. -son of a... afina, come on! i thought we had something. call it heat, attraction... you and me, we were gonna... -i hate her. excellent. i would have shared everything with you. all the wonders of a new age. while keeping me as your personal canteen? -in my time, it was an honor to serve the queen. i'll pass. suit yourself. hi. hi. -nikola... you're out of your depth, mongrel. i'd rather be a mongrel than a stuck-up inbred bitch. just keep her under control. my pleasure. -i need to try and reverse the process before the others wake up. nikola! i'm fine. you worry about that. wait, stop! -don't kill him! i have a proposal. now you want to negotiate? make it fast. the praxians, your enemies. -they left you the surface while they retreated into the depths of hollow earth. helen, no. they're still there. they have a thriving city. more advanced than anything you had in your kingdom. -don't do this. quiet. tell me more. unbelievable. leave the surface alone. -you can have hollow earth. take revenge on your old enemies. that's my offer. damn it, no-- how do i find it? the second level activates on a praxian voice command. -you tell us how to leave... i'll tell you how to talk to the map. humans... i'll honor your deal, but it won't last. once we've conquered the world down there, we'll be back. -i don't doubt it. we'll be waiting. i would have so liked to have had you for my court. in my chamber, there's a sensor at eye level near the door. how do we activate it? -blood, of course. now, the password. "gateway." kha harag. that should take you where you need to go. -which is it? uh... here. what? got your email. you here to return the deposit i left? -yeah, about that. i decided to use it on a tam farm of my own, kind of a country home for the retired. it was you... busted my north shore op. if you can call it that. -you know what, you're crazy, coming out here alone. i'm not alone. a year ago, you could've pulled that trigger, and nobody would've cared, but i'm with the sanctuary now. think about that combination, their toys, my attitude? and you do not want to piss us off any more than you already have. -my advice? cash in your chips while you still can, 'cause next time, you're not gonna know what hit you. this is your only warning! cut it a little closer than i would have liked. what, me? -it was you who handed over the map. how did you know she was telling the truth about the door? i didn't, but i had to stop her either way. well, thanks for consulting me about the suicide pact. sorry. -it's a shame we lost it, you know. we barely downloaded a fraction of that database. small price to pay. for my life? for saving the world from human enslavement. -oh, right. that too. i'm sorry your glorious legacy didn't turn out to be all you were hoping for. please. she was an entitled bitch with a nazi complex. -the world in her image? i don't think so. no, and we mustn't forget our most important achievement of the day. my resurrection. oh, here we go... -sweet, sweet resurrection. == sync, corrected by elderman == you know the guy who said, "no man is an island"? same douche bag who thought denmark was rotting. fuck that guy. -and welcome to the island of fitz. she wants me. and the car. ka-cheeng, baby. i'll take it. -yes, you will. bring her the keys. yes, sir. only one way to make sure people recognize who did what. congratulations. -and that's to do it all on your own. sonja, be a doll and write up the paperwork, will you? mark it on the board. will you look at that? number one again. -what do you say we celebrate with a well-moisturized hand? like i always said. men's gonna be self-sufficient. an island. there. -saved you a step. what did i tell you? you want something done right, you got to do it yourself. season 2 episode 04 - my own private oka- -team a²s --==all-about-subs.fr==-- got you some hindu kush, some purple urkle, and a surprisingly refreshing hybrid of sativa strains. but if we're celebrating... we're celebrating. i got you some classic five paper jamaican fatty. -that's what i love about you, josh. you do 1 thing very well. i love you too, man. and in honour of... whatever we're celebrating, i got you this. that background check on larry you asked for. -i asked you for this last year. the first red flag was when he claimed to be your conscience. but as you can see, it's far, far more disturbing. look at that. former special ops. -medical records show symptoms of ptsd and gulf war syndrome. but here's the kicker: 1/13th cherokee. i'm not 1/13th cherokee. yeah, you are. -no, i'm not. this is you, josh. i'm your conscience? do we have time for paranoid delusions and psychotropic... what does that make larry? -listen, morons, i'm flushed with cash, i got my first good night's sleep in months and i'm finally breaking ground in the summer wind lounge. i don't need tweedledum and tweedle-functional retard getting in my way, not today. nothing is going to ruin today. talk to me. -fucking fuck! once again, the prophecy rears its ugly head. anyone could have done this. who else but a shadowy nemesis would dig up a literal skeleton in your metaphorical closet? a dog. -a hobo. a hobo's dog. what? relax. no one knows we buried her in the first place. -except for you, me, ali, meghan, and that asshole glenn. glenn. this isn't a paid vacation. back to work. -what a surprise. officer. what do you know about this? well, this lush 2-acre parcel has great views and direct highway access. -about the body. a body on my land? chester vince offered a trip to cabo for anyone who gets charges against you to stick. might look like a corpse to you, but to me it looks like a ticket to paradise. richard... had nothing to do with this -yeah, because this... this is... an ancient indian burial ground. that's right. sacred cherokee land. and therefore off limits. -this is unit 12. we have a situation. delete. definitely delete. i really like my hair in this one. -and fitzy's hair. delete. this just came for you. mr. fitzpatrick and i are through. and there's nothing he can do or say to change my mind. -i don't think it's from him. olaf. who's olaf? hon. here. -blow. olaf is obviously somebody. my first boyfriend. let me guess. breaking up with him was the biggest mistake of your life. -yes. because you broke his heart. i did. so you could be with richard fitzpatrick. how do you know all of this? -every woman has an olaf: the good man we reject for the selfish bastard. he's just... complex. fitz doesn't care about anyone but himself. and now fate is offering you another chance with your first love -it's not every day a man sends you a heart-shaped sausage. i couldn't do that to him. after all fitz has done to you? no, i couldn't do that to olaf. if mr. fitz snapped his fingers, -i would go back to him in a heartbeat. sometimes i just wish he would tell me to leave. but he never will because he barely even knows i'm here. that won't do. that won't do at all. -really, larry? an ancient indian burial ground? it's gonna take the medical examiner about 5 min to figure out your chief sitting bullshit. i don't know what came over me, okay? it must have been all of josh's talk about indian heritage. -but you know, maybe we... we are gonna do nothing. you are gonna keep your trap shut before this thing blows up in my face. chief dwayne "flying eagle" smith of the cherokee nation. we have business to discuss. -kaboom, fuck-tard. chief... what the fuck is it? dwayne "flying eagle" smith. have you never seen an indian before? easy on the jungle drums here, kemosabe. -we're all friends here. drink? fire water. what are you going to offer me next, a smallpox-infected blanket? the police notified our cultural centre that... an ancient indian burial ground was unearthed on some piece of land you own. -listen, buddy, we both know that's not indian land. and we both know that body didn't bury itself. are you saying i lied to the cops? not a white lie, of course, a lie for people of all colours of the rainbow. despite your preconceived notions from the village people not all indian chiefs are gay. -and there's nothing wrong with the ones that are. our crack team of tribal anthropologists is on the case, and i'm sure they'll be able to prove that that body is our ancient ancestor. you should swing by the cultural centre and sign over that land to us now or who knows what they'll discover. you snaky fucker. it's up to you, honky. -yeah, that's right. i went there. ancient indian burial ground? i'm sorry. i panicked. -and that is an explanation, not a lie. sacred cherokee lands? the pressure got to me, and all i could think of was josh's cherokee heritage. and, as the title deed to the land is in josh's name... you said you were taking me for ice cream. -or in cherokee hands if you will, your precious burial ground has been returned. if your friend is actually cherokee. fitzy, look. friendship bracelets. let's get a couple. -fuck, will you focus? {\*a friendship bracelet would be wasted...} what fucking language is that? give him his status card so we can get out of here. i would be happy to welcome josh here into our tribe. i'll even swear him in myself. tell me you're not gonna fuck this up. -i'm not gonna fuck this... don't worry, i got this. bad boy. i shouldn't lie. see what happens? -bad, bad boy. shouldn't lie. larry. what? i want you to be honest with me. -do you think that i have done the right thing by ending it with fitz? does he care about anyone besides himself? absolutely. yeah, i think that, deep down, he must. it's like a drug! -you tell one lie and you just can't stop. but i promise you i will never lie again. what did you lie about? crap. okay, but listen, you have to promise never to repeat this, because nobody else knows except for richard and ali and meghan and that glenn guy. -but nobody else. i helped richard... bury a body. what? ! it was ali's mother. -but we didn't kill her. well, ali and richard did. but it was a mistake. of course, richard blames ali. and he's gonna lose his land because that's where she's buried. -so he's in a bit of a mood. excuse me. all he cares about is that stupid lounge. you know what? dot foxley was right. -mr. fitz is a... selfish, selfish b word. sonja, richard is not a b word. and you cannot trust that dot foxley. she's a witch. yeah, with those voodoo dolls and the horrible things she says, and those bangs. -she can do anything, including manipulate your feelings. i always thought that mr. fitz was being hard on you. but maybe you're just a... jerk. no one manipulates me. i manipulate myself. -sign here, here, initial there. status card. housing assistance. and 2 complimentary cartons of smokes. well, that's it? -that's the big ceremony? that's just a formality. this is the ceremony. you're one of us now. welcome, brother. -i've always wanted a brother. now we smoke the peace pipe. best brother ever! now, the first image you see will be your cherokee name. how long does it take to sign a fucking status card? -meet the newest son of the cherokee nation:. josh "two dogs copulating" mctaggert. how, motherfucker. fuck me. two dogs copulating. -whatever. will you go back there and tell those assholes it's okay to break ground? chief dwayne says that we do not inherit the land from our ancestors, but we borrow it from our children. do not renege on this deal, indian giver. renege? -like the ice cream that you promised me. that i'm still waiting for. fine, let's go get some fucking ice cream. the time for ice cream is long since past. you only gave me this land because you wanted to use me. -just as chief dwayne had prophesized. not another prophecy, and who gives a fuck about chief dwayne? i do. and you know what? chief dwayne cares about me. -unlike some people i know. you really want to double-cross your best friend, josh? this land... is our land. it's not your land. and best friend your face. -you know, there is a lesson in all of this. everyone, look. larry's got an important lesson for all of us. you should think... unless this has to do with getting my land back, i don't want to hear it. -don't you see? this isn't me saying you should change. it's destiny saying you must. you can't go around using people who care about you. you never have to worry about me using you. -you're fucking useless. it's not just me. you use josh for intoxication, sonja for sexual gratification. you never value their feelings and guess what? they walked away from you. -big fucking deal. i find a new dealer and another unhinged jaw. and what about ali devon? you couldn't admit your feelings, so you treated her horribly to overcompensate for the fact that you really cared about her. i did that to get laid. -and how did that end up? with her mother's body in the ground, witch is the reason we are in this mess. you're right. that's who i should be using. i'll cut to the chase. -someone dug up mama dearest, and larry thought it'd get the cops off our backs if we told them it was an ancient indian burial ground. she's been buried for 3 months. tell it to the cherokees. they fudged the investigation and put in a land claim. great. -then problem solved. no, problem not solved. they stole my land. i need it back. i am this close to building my lounge. -so what do you want me to do about it, exactly? take the fall? no way. come on. you've got chester vince wrapped around your finger. -you could do whatever you want. and why would i want to sacrifice myself to protect you? because you still love me. how narcissistic can you be? you are a parasite, and i will not let you suck the life out of me anymore. -it's always you, you, you. what about me? i will not use my relationship with chester to help you. relationship? that's right. -holy shit. you're actually dating that sexual anorexic? well, i'm not in the mood for appetizers anymore. meeting's over, fitz. so did fitz send you? -no. no. i mean, he drove me, but i... i come of my own accord. because, your friendship is too important to just throw away. -then why is he in the car? it's my lie that caused this rift. so please, you have to forgive him. he is afraid of real emotion... other than rage and orgasm. so please, help me, help you... to help him. -i have a new way of life now. i catch dreams now. dreams. but didn't your people intend to share their land? of course. -it is the cherokee way. that's why i've agreed to sign it over to chief dwayne. are you out of your fucking mind? guys, i know tensions are high right now but there's a simple solution. i believe an apology is in order. -you're right. where's my apology, asshole? you apologize to josh. all right. you know what? -you're right. i did. i used you. but i'm not the only one. why do you think chief dwayne had such a hard-on for this piece of land? -can't you see the signs? {\*chief dwayne's cherokee lounge native casino} it's a trick. my brothers would never build on sacred ground. it's not the cherokee way. -i hate to break it to you, but that body was no ancient stiff. your brother suppressed a police investigation and used you as a pawn... in order to build an indian casino on my land. that's the chief dwayne way. i don't believe you. well, then, you know what? -fuck you, josh. fuck you, fitz. no, sir. fuck you, larry! these are my orgy cuffs. -give me the key or they're gonna find two more bodies on this piece of land. what do you mean? give me the key! i will not be scared by your veiled threats. i've had enough of the fighting and the deceit. -then we are not going anywhere... until we resolve this emotional standoff. chester! i have been looking everywhere for you. what are you doing here? i'm so sick of him, richard fitzpatrick. -i wish he was dead! join the club. i really wish he was dead. do you know what i did today? i went out and bought a gun. -oh, god, chester. that is a water pistol. filled with pee. you haven't thought this through. no, ma'am. -chester, i wasn't sure if i should tell you this or not, but now seeing you here with a water pistol full of your own urine... no, it's not mine. i need to tell you something. how bad could it be? it's not like you two hid a body together. -mom wanted an organic funeral. they are good for the plant, but how could you do that with him? who else was i going to call? you? and that's the point. -at the time, i thought that i needed him but i see now how wrong i was. i chose you. then testify against him. it was my idea. it was my mistake. -and if i confess to this, he is out of our lives for good. i'm going to turn myself in. then i promise i won't prosecute... thank you! to the full extent of the law. -holy shit. they're here. construction's starting already? no, two dogs fucking. it's the toxic waste guys i called. -it's two dogs copulating. toxic waste, richard? those fuckers are trying to steal my dream. if i can't have it, no one can. give me the key. -i will not unlock these cuffs until you admit your feelings to josh. fine. you want to know how i feel? yes. i feel used. -you? yes, me. all the years i put up with you. the cars you never fixed, the pot you never buy enough of, the tax-free cigarettes you don't cut me in on. and what about you? -insulting me, stealing my pot, lying to me. fine, there might have been a few exaggerations and miscommunications. but i have never, ever lied to you. not like that chief what's-his-nuts. chief dwayne. -whatever. you and i are like... we're like nature. we're like parasites. you leech off my awesome and i leech off your... -richard, hurry. weed. so we're connected. like brothers. i wouldn't go that far. -would you give him the thing? we're like brothers. truck. go, go. those fuckers won't be able to build on here for decades. -what are you doing here? against every instinct i have to sit back and watch you suffer, i decided to give you what you want. i told chester that the body was my mother's and that i acted alone. i knew it. -you still want me. close. the cherokee's expropriation order has been thrown out. the land is all yours again. fuck me. -i need a drink. wait me up, bro. see you later. you were right... about mr. fitz. i don't know why i can't just accept it. -he only cares about himself. anyway, thank you. you're welcome. larry, he is not help. he's just so larry. -can you believe that he thinks you're a witch? he's got this whole crazy theory. i think that he's just intimidated by women. i felt that. and i don't see anything wrong with your bangs. -thank you. well, if compassion is witchcraft, then keep it coming, sister. duly noted. good night, then. what?

please, let's talk normally. it would best if we don't talk normally. normal person would throw you out the window right now. is it serious? -yes. great! and now what? i don't know. you must've think of something. -for example: i'm fucking with another guy, and my husband is an idiot and he'll never find out. or: i'm fucking with another guy, and my husband is and idiot, and he won't mind. or: -i have a son and i don't give a fuck about him... he has nothing to do with this! nothing? i'm sure he won't mind finding out that his mother is screwing with another man. he's the only reason -i didn't told you before. great. and now what? i'll pack my stuff and leave for a few days. then we'll agree on everything. -alright. hello? it's me. what's going on? he heard us talking about the watch. -and? i had to tell him. that's great. i hope so. did he make trouble? -no. when can you pick me up? in 15 minutes. hurry up. i'm going right now. -marko?

besides money. you have a lot in common, is he funny? -are you soul mates? it's nice with him. he's not smothering me. and he's not pissed all the time. i'm sorry that for all these years i wasn't funny enough. -and he's not lying me like you do. when did i lie to you? you're lying all the time. you promised that you won't bet anymore. i'm not. -you bet 200 euros today. how do you know that? i know. you owe 5000 euros. 5 grands man! -i wanted to earn money for us. why didn't you get a job? i couldn't write then. you're not writing for years. i'm sorry for not doing well, i'll really try to improve myself. -all you can do is to be ironic. you liked that in the past. i was young in the past. and you were different. you're sitting and poisoning for years. -unlike you, who is happy and fucking around. i don't want to talk like this. why, did i insult you? get out, please. fine, i'll go out, but explain it to me why are you involved with this guy? -why were you involved with a student? because i was stupid. that's why my life became hell. what about my life? i lost a child that night while you were with her. -our second child. i know, i know! not a day goes by without me thinking about that. i spent three fucking years trying to show you how much sorry i am. you failed. -damn it, because of you i abandoned the thing i loved the most. what thing? university. because of me? yes, to show you how much i love you. -and to avoid your jealousy. why was i jealous? because you're a fool! no, because i was afraid that you'll hook up with every student you flirted with. i wasn't flirting with anyone. -they liked me, like you, once. you know the good side? you can go back to the university now. what? are you really leaving now? -yes. please, don't. call that guy and tell him that you don't want to see him anymore. come on, let me go. marija, i love you, please don't go. -please, don't go. let me go, please... leave me alone uroš! let me go! what will we do about nikola? -we'll work it out. i want to work it out now. i can't do anything now. who's going to tell him. i will! -and if he decides to stay with me will you leave him? why would he want that? you think he'd preferred a new dad, the criminal? first of all he's not a criminal, he's a man that can make money, unlike you and second, i think nikola will like him. maybe. -can i go wash my face now? one more question. your boy lives in austria. if nikola wants to stay with you will you live in wienna? probably. -and i can see him on holidays, and the ticket to wienna is cheap. you can see him when ever you want. great. thank you, that would be all. hello? -i'm in front of the house. i'm coming down in five minutes. hurry up. marko kovac? uroš ristanovic. -your girlfriends husband. what do you want? i wanted to get to know each other. and to talk. about what? -my wife is leaving me for you. we have to work out some things. some other time. i think it's better now. you're wrong. -are you afraid of me? there's no need, really. marija and i don't get along for a while now. besides, there's a child too. we have to talk. -you want a drink? no, thanks. cheers. single malt. what do you want to talk about? -let's wait for marija, it's important. can i have one? thank you. no matter how strange it sounds, i admire people like you really? -why? why? if you put it in mythological context, you're like semi-gods. you're creating your own worlds, you're managing the little people. you earned everything you have. -quickly, strong. that's fascinating for me. i have to admit i'm glad that my wife is stolen by someone like you. no one is stealing anything from you. you're wife is leaving you. -that's what i meant. never mind. things are not working for us for a while. i want to say, i'd take it worse if she'd leave me for a writer or painter. painters are really the worst. -you didn't change your mind about the drink? i'll take a sip. to be honest... things are not good for me for a while. i mean in life and that... -i haven't wrote anything smart for a couple of years. i'm not earning money. i figured, that's why marija is leaving me. but, you're really a handsome guy. women don't like losers. -and i'm one. i'd like to be you in the next life. and here's our favourite girl. what are you doing here? i'm hanging out with your husband. -don't be mad, i invited marko in. let's get out of here. wait a minute, we have to talk. we'll talk tomorrow. let's go. -we have to talk about nikola. i don't want to talk with you. wait a minute. uroš and i have to arrange some things. i wanted to go now. -just five minutes, please. alright, but only five minutes. what do you want? we have to arrange some things. i'm listening. -marija says that there's a chance that you'll live in wienna. yes. how nikola fits there? nikola will live with us and is natural for him to be with his mother. he'll be fine, he'll have anything he wants on this world. -is that fine? and what about nikola's relationship with me? you want honest answer? please. he'll get over it in time. -and considering you, i don't give a fuck. that was really honestly.. i'm like that. are we done? -just one more thing. i'm listening carefully. if you were on my place, that you find out that wife's leaving you and taking your child to another country. what would you do? i could never be in your place. -fine, but try to imagine. i'd estimate the situation and try to take some lesson and some advantage. like what? that men that don't don't do anything can't have nice chicks. or that guys that don't have the balls to save their family, shouldn't have them. -alright, that's a lesson, what is advantage? that i will give you 5 grand to pay your debts. and that i'll allow you to see your son if you're good. in wienna? yes, if you can afford the ticket. -and if i'm not good? then i'll have to interfere. you already interfered. but on a bad way. you don't have to threatening me. -i won't make any troubles. i just want you two out of my life as soon as possible. wise choice. here's the money. and i don't ever want to see you again in my life. -thank you. are you done? we arranged everything. great. let's go. -friends, i'm sending you my greets, and i wish you all the best. here you go. i lost my key. let me out. open the door, do you hear? -come sometime next week. let me go... give me the key, do you hear me? give me the key. you're really an idiot! -you think that you'll prevent me from leaving with this? you think i'll give you nikola? sit down, get some rest. if you don't unlock the door, you'll never see him again. you want something to drink? -hello? are you alright? yes, i guess. be patient, we'll fix it. alright. -put that shit on the phone. here. it's for you. yes? if you don't let her go in 30 seconds you're a dead man. -what's up marko, stud? . why don't you come in? you have 20 seconds left. i see you're jerking off by my fence, i'll have to call the cops. -and then i'll fuck your girlfriend. see you around. i was just kidding about fucking. i never mess with someone else girl. you're really a sick idiot! -give me the phone. it's some m guy. i can't pick up, i'm busy. what are you doing? the real question is what are you doing. -and after that is dilemma should i break your neck right away, or should i kick you first. unfortunately, i can't do neither. because of nikola. -but that doesn't mean that you can talk what ever you want. your boyfriend is leaving. too bad. this is marko vac. send me a serious guy. -do you want a drink? it's not too late yet. your boyfriend left, you don't call him, and i'll try to forget everything. are you serious? yes, i'm serious. -you want to stay with me no matter what? yes. and why? because i love you. because we got married in church, and because i think that people should stay together besides mistakes. -i don't think that. and i don't believe that you love me. and there's no thing i wouldn't do for you. just talking. are you sure? -100%, or you wouldn't be with a student. a student again. not just that, not just a student. then what? you know when i was lying in a hospital -what hospital? i came like crazy, i didn't leave you for a second! while i was lying there, i asked just one thing. i begged you for some peace. i wanted to die of sadness. -but with all your love that you're talking about, you created chaos. it was difficult for me to breathe, and you came jumping and screaming. and then i had to think will you kill a doctor, hit a nurse, or go trough a glass with your head. then i realised that love is not like that. because you never thought about me, you were thinking about yourself. -how it's difficult for you because you were caught lying. because i lose a child because of that. and because you knew you'll be fucked because of that. you're right. i was thinking only about myself. -but i changed in the meantime. i know for four months that you're with someone else, and i'm silent. you shouldn't have! really? but i love you too much. -unfortunately. i know i hurt you, you hurt me back, let's just forget everything now. it's not about hurting back, it's about trust. that everything is destroyed among us. and please, don't talk about love anymore. -if anyone was loving someone, i loved you. and then you broke me, and i never came back after that. never again i believed you that you love me. but i really love you. i don't care! -and i'll leave as soon as you stop this charade. do you love him the way you loved me? that's not your concern. you must love him very much if you're ready to fuck up nikola and me. now mention nikola every time! -i'll mention who ever i want. you're so smart and brave and good! you make me sick! you were nothing when you asked me out for the first time. i taught you everything you know. -how to look, how to walk, how to laugh. you'll never leave this place. you'll never take my son away. never! mr. marko kovac? -yes. company is sending me. that's the house. nice house. do they have dogs? -no, it should be easy. it's never easy. that's why they sent you. are you sure that the woman will come with you? i'm sure. -what's the plan? i get inside, i cut the power out, i disable the guy and you elegant take the mrs. out. guy stays disabled, more or less it depends on you. more. but not visible from the outside. -alright. come on, go. when i unlock the front door, i'll call you on your phone to get in. what is this? what have you think now, you sick idiot? -this has nothing to do with me. there's no power in the entire house. you disgusting idiot! i'm going downstairs to see what's going on. breathe, breathe! -i have to go, i'll be right back. wait me here! do you hear? breathe. the guy is lying in the kitchen, the woman is upstairs. -i want you to fuck him up so bad that he'll be sorry for staying alive. then go away. just don't let her hear anything. marija? marko? -it's me! your wife left. you don't have to worry, you have me. and now... kidding around. -stop. i forgot my purse. never mind, let's get out of here. i can't, my documents are in there. i'll go. -what's up marko, buddy?

-there won't be a place on earth where you can hide. he didn't sent him. you see how all this is nice? the girl loves you. you have one more chance? -who's idea? tell him you didn't send him. you didn't send him right? of course i sent him! i'm only sorry for not ordering him to kill you. -you should be sorry! what are you saying? are you crazy? we're talking about killing each other because of your whoring! that's not a bad idea. -how about a duel, groom? fuck you! we fight with each other, and who wins... gets the princess. tonight she told me that she doesn't believe me that i love her. that hurt me, you know? -now we'll see who loves who. these are the rules. first, i'll shoot in my head. after that, in the groom. if we both survive that, -i'll put another bullet in. we play until someone gets fucked. uroš, please don't do that. i have to, my love. otherwise you'll never find out who loves you truly. -if groom, in his great love, get's scared he has the right to ask me to shoot you, instead of him. uroš, please don't. i love you more than anything. now the groom. uroš, please don't. -should i shoot you or her?

good no...! -national guard troops have flown into... evacuate surrounding meteor areas. and we have word the military is now deploying. aw, that's us...! armed military for a meteor shower? i don't know why they're so happy? -just a minute. a meteorite just hit the ocean, large plumes of smoke are coming up... visibility is getting worse. these objects were completely undetectable until they entered our atmosphere. -nasa estimates that they are not hitting the water at terminal velocity. they're slowing down before impact. these objects in question... are falling into the ocean in tightly packed clusters. 10 miles outside a major population centre. thermal imaging from the hubble telescope shows us that ... within each cluster is a central object much larger than the others. -and these central objects are all the same geometrical shape. they appear mechanical in nature. this is not a meteor shower, marines. we are in threat con delta. that's right! -c'mon! all units! gear up! be ready to move! combat situation. -that's what i've been training for. and just now being told that one of the coast guard cutters have issued a mayday. it is difficut to see. oh my gosh! there's just another meteor that just hit the ocean. -and it's the closest one yet. right behind those cutters... there are two or three meteor's just impacted... do we have that information from the studio? oh my god. -hey, hey! are you hearing us? shut up! shut up! shut up! -hey! are you still hearing us? yeah. jean, i can... i can hear you. -what is that...? i can't really get a good look. but it appears like there's something ... i... i am looking for the people trying to determine exactly what this is. -maybe... i don't even know... like shadowy figures... maybe 5, 6, 7. i can make out... maybe... -what the hell is that! ? holy shit! look at that! ? -i think i'm gonna head back now! everyone needs to get outta here, right now! i think i'm gonna leave, jean. i'm gonna head back. oh my god. -corporal grayston and corporal imlay are both expert marksmen. as well as strong fire team leaders. we also have pfc lenihan who is our second best marksmen. just behind lance corporal guerrero. yo! -what's your take on this, specks? i don't know. extraterrestial? you mean like from space? no, imlay! -from canada. oh! you've always got jokes. don't you... alright! -first squad! line it up! bring it in! let's go! as you may have heard already! -staff sergeant nantz will be taking over for staff sergeant beck! we're lucky to have him aboard! alright! here's the situation, marines! we're facing an unknown enemy! -we don't know how strong they're force is, or what they're capable of! but one thing we do know! is that we're fighting for our land! our families! our home! -and our country! god dammit! so whatever those things are! ?

right. the situation is as follows ... most of santa monica's been cleared of civilians. we've got a defense line at lincoln boulevard a mile from the ocean. -air force has got warhogs and b52's on deck. at 19:30 hours, they will pound the entire area at lincoln to the ocean. we're leveling santa monica, sir? we've got a infestation and god knows what! but they are not of this earth! -and we gotta hit them with everything we got! we got to hit ém hard! they are ground force enemy only. they have no aircraft... so the airforce will tear them a new asshole. and we will rule the air. -you said, most citizens, sir? that's a firm. get a distress call, sending squads out. golf: you take santa monica to olympic. foxtrot: -olympic to peaco, echo: peaco to ocean park. lieutenant martinez, i want you to break off a squad and a machine guns team. proceed west from lincoln to a police station located here. -venice and amarosa. venice and amarosa. police were overrun. got a distress call that civilians are still there. we don't know how many? -just gather survivors and you radio in. we'll have helicopters in the area to evacuate you out. but be advised! you've got exactly 3 hours before our bombs drop. make no mistake they will drop. -with or without you. so you get those civilians and you get the hell out of there. and you kill anything that is not human. let's go! let's get it done! -captain, this is not a drill. you hold that line. you understand me? yes, sir. 10,000 moving inland, they are advancing east from the coastland into the suburbs. -golf company is overrun, lema company is requesting immediate air support. civilians are been stranded behind enemy lines. take on 1! fire in the hole! -troops are amassing on every coast, along every major coastline. the u.n. has called an emergency sitting in an attempt to establish a means of sharing resources... watch out! go! which is?

i have no idea, guerrero. just stay focused. hey, what the hell is that? -what is that? this is insane. ya, it's open. unidentified enemies has reached our coastline. in a swift and military sneak attack. -at this point, there are many more questions unanswered. right now one thing is clear, the world is at war. see something, simmons?

he never laughs. make sure the front is secure. -imlay, is there anything? only maps of santa monica. we must further east. everything is burned. follow me. -this is the control battalions. we are looking maps, wherever there an extraction point. i'll be back. i have found a tactical map. it says that all units were prepared. -what are those red marks? that they are gone. are those units moved? disabled. all of them? -all. there is an alternative extraction point operation. eight kilometers. there are still plenty of weapons. looking for an m16. -mr. rincon is dead. rincon is dead? leave me. leave me. i'm so sorry, hector. -i'm sorry. your father has his best in order to stay with you. i would not be here. it's all done, buddy. your father was a brave man, hector. -hector, i'm sorry. i'm sorry, buddy. cry. he loved you very much. listen to me, hector. -i want you're brave for me, i want you my kidney are marinating. we're going to be brave for the others. you know why? why? because marines do not give up. -do you believe that? say that for me. marines do not give up. good. i'll get you out of here, i promise. -come on. we are not going to lose people, understood? get us out too? whether we are replaceable? lockett, if you want to go, then we go. -i can handle it, man, and men died ... children, 18 years old, the best i had ever run. do you think that i'd rather not willing to trade with them instead? i know you think my men have their deaths. they're dead. and i'm here. -as a climax to a bad joke. you think i like this? not a minute goes by that those faces in my brains. dante, thomas d, corporal. 156509386. -warden, geoffrey h. staff corporal. 874273993. lockett ... dwayne g. corporal. 1568709 ... 55. -your brother was an excellent marine. he was my friend. and i miss him ... every day. and you makes me think of him. now all it does nothing. -because our duty is to by going to keep fighting. so we honor your brother lieutenant martinez and ... corporal stavero, corporal mottola ... hector's father. who picked up a weapon and did what needed to be done. -a citizen did. so we need some speed to make. no doubt. work quickly and work as a unit ... and we will prevail. let's find a way out. -imlay, come with me, we go to higher land. the rest of you, search munitions and cars. there are still some lav's and hummers are still working. i'm sorry, buddy. you do not deserve this. -you went down fighting. nobody expects to see. and it does not look good. gain. they have already set up a beacon. -if the evacuation zone is still intact, we are behind their line. that will be a challenge to sergeant. yes, that makes you pay for. everybody to the lav, now. come on. -any station, this is foxtrot 2 november, we have 11 passengers ... request for evacuation, alternative to the point, charlie. are there planes in the air,? foxtrot 2 november, this is sierra 1925. order is to retreat. at 03.00 hours at the evacuation point, otherwise we're leaving. -roger, 3:00 pm and no minutes later, off. have you ever seen what a bushmaster tankgun can do? yes, staff sergeant. climb up onto it. let's do it. -to the right, kirch. roger. we go. bushmaster is closed and loaded. give them their thurs -of course. two minutes to impact. is everyone okay? kerns, left. we go three blocks, five blocks and turn right, then straight. -you must bring us to the evacuation point. i would hold if i were you, lockett. roger. his enemies there, sergeant? what's going on? -there is only one way to find find out, it'll be fine. i have 250 bullets. you know what they say if you deer gets ... then go faster. yes. -come on. hold you down, we go through it. they go down like skittles. kick him out. run over the guy around. -santos, are you alright? yes. i got that dirty stuff in my mouth, man. that's not funny. you let him go as far on your first date. -everyone ok? yes. let's make sure we come home. stop shooting. come on. -we do it. the flight do not wait much longer. you're right in the shit, staff sergeant. what happened to our air force? way, our lives. -they're blowing it. we leave los angeles. come on, let's go. sir, are you alright? okay, sir. -come on. okay, sir, come on. we go. come on, let's go. come on. -you okay? is everyone okay? everyone ok? hold on tight. what happened? -simon says something with a great power. staff sergeant, at nine hours. santos, he'll heef air signals sent? the concentration of the power failure cause? yes, captain imlay, why? -it would command their control can be. take me down there. what? i need to explore. no way, that is pure suicide. -we are only talking about, the rest is already retired. we can not land, we did not enough power for takeoff. this is a letter from his wife martinez. would you give it to her. yes. -we hang at 12 meters. 20 seconds. roger. come on, let's pull. staff sergeant, what the hell are you doing? -we're almost home, imlay. you now have the lead. bring these people home safely. you are the bravest marines i have ever seen, hector. no. -what are you doing here? i told you, stay in that helicopter. the citizens in safety. we were worried about you. i think the command control close. -how many miles until she dropped out? five miles. five kilometers. we use this bridge as cover. drones if we can disable our military might to fight back. -where would you a command control center places, if you want to protect. underground. come on. they have gone up, this leads back to the street. i thought us to the command control led. -let's go. they know we're here. that is the command control center. everybody out of here. run. -follow me. through the ladder. come on. we are right in front of that thing. well, we share a real blow to one hour. -hurry. grenade! we have some time with win. a laser target, staff sergeant? we have no more planes. -hopefully they can fire more missiles edwards air force base. so if you attack one of the radio shows, then mark the target with a laser. the best chance of radio reception is on top of that building. there you are most exposed. i'll do it, staff sergeant. -i make contact. santos, pick them? parcel force is coming. go to higher ground. if you are with the radio signal, quickly become a mess. -make that call there and get the hell out of here. you know what that means. these things off until the air strike there. marines, we are going to make our point, let them know who they're dealing with. right through the heart, right? -right through the heart. you take those two. the one there and another on the other side. stay low and go fast. watch out. -this is foxtrot 2 november, you get me? all stations, this is foxtrot 2 november, you get me? foxtrot 2 november this tango yankee's. we have a priority, we have the command control center found ... the coordinates are 8885342 we fuck code 120. -i repeat we fuck 120. understood, time to target, three minutes. sergeant, they're about three minutes. well, let's target down. good shot, kerns. -get out. kerns! we must go now. i got it. we have one minute. -lie down. corey! imlay, use the grenade launcher. roger. where is that artillery? -they should be there. incoming! we have them! it worked. staff sergeant, you did it. -we have them! we turn back. we are going through. he comes up. he tries to get away. -we have him in their sights. i get it out. we must protect the laser. that hurt. give me coverage. -the drones pull him away, we need him down. incoming. they use the drones to protect their ship. i have almost no ammo. how is he? -well well, staff sergeant. mad bastard, you had me there to leave. corey, garnet. we will not die. there you damn right. -we get them down. we do not have enough ammunition. are you okay? it's okay. that is the last copperhead. -santos, switch off drone. fire! we did it. staff sergeant, you did it. nobody has the drones now of control. -marines, follow me. they pull back. forward. you have it saved our lives. well done, sergeant. -welcome home. good job marines, great, citizens are safe. what you have brought down the ship, giving we provide to every army in every city. we need to collect as many troops as possible and fight against them. so put on your gear and go eat. -there is breakfast in the tent, that you have earned. there are grenades. anyone who needs them? we get them down. imlay, i think you can use it. -here are some warehouses. very nice. has anyone ammunition? what are you doing, sergeant? we've already had breakfast, sir. -i borrow this here, sir. take it. this is wolpet who does it? wolpet, dogout 21, to your left. it's nice to hear a friendly voice. -snake eyes has joined the fight. foxtrot 21. this is foxtrot 2 november. let us reclaim los angeles. you need to drink. -dc reid from cid. you want to speak with mitchell? yeah, i'm working on this murder investigation... i did know a daisy. did this girl ever say anything about box tunnel 20 to you? -she seemed to know a lot about it. she could describe the scene and the bodies. my god! i suggest you give me back that book. gotcha! -this doesn't often happen so... i'm not quite sure what the protocol is. usually we're hosing down the cage and giving young alan here a blanket. ugh! so you did something remarkable tonight. -you walked unharmed from a plane crash. only now i don't know what to do with you. it's a lot to take in, isn't it? you know, i think the biggest shock for me, more than the actual existence of vampires and werewolves and ghosts... there are ghosts too, you know, but we'll come to that... was knowing that until that point, i'd been allowed to live. once the curtain was drawn... and i'd seen the true nature of nature, -i realised that these nightmare creatures had permitted us to mind the shop. the monsters were merciful. but it was a fragile detente... like a tiger in a paper cage. any moment they could break free and wreck the world. no, all in all, i think that was a bit of a blow. -tell me about yourself. you married? kids? maybe one day. what line of business are you in? -i'm a surveyor. ah! don't tell me! semi-detached house on a new-build estate, a car, the boss is a wanker. sunday roast with the in-laws. -paddling pools and catalogues, five-a-side and belgian beer. god, it sounds horrific! well, that's all over now. i've set you free. i wasn't unharmed. -i'm sorry? i wasn't unharmed. please could i have a bandage or something? it scratched me. oops! -look, i'm just saying this is vampire business. you start mixing it with human laws and courts and stuff, and god knows what could happen. yeah, well, it's a bit late to worry about that, isn't it? all right, well, say you do lead the police to daisy, ok? they arrest her, they process her, they take her photograph. -and bam! that's it. the world knows about vampires and it's total... this is first contact. it's biblical. -religion, history, science, they lose everything. the trauma of that, could you imagine? we need more drawing pins. annie! vampires must have been arrested in the past. -yeah, but we used to have an infrastructure in place to sort it out. oh, so what? daisy should just get away with it? i'm saying the vampires take care of this sort of thing themselves. like vampire police. -not actual. it's kind of self-regulating. well, i thought you said there wasn't an infrastructure in place. look, what i'm saying is... ok, look. -what if it was me? hm? say i didn't die and i got on that train and so did daisy, and, i don't know, it was my picture in that incident room, not lia's. what would you do? i wouldn't have known you. -play my "what if" game. i'd tear the world apart. that's the correct answer. make this useful or quick... your choice. -that name i pulled off the information line, john mitchell? yeah, i went to see him, and he's a bit nervy, but he gave me another name, daisy hannigan spiteri, some ex-girlfriend of his. you should write this down. apparently, she told him she saw the box tunnel massacre first-hand. -but the only daisy hannigan spiteri i could find died in an air raid in 1941. yeah, see, this is where it gets complicated. so? so... why would he do that? because relationships turn people into psychopaths, and that is fact. -no, i mean why give a false name unless he's concealing something? maybe she gave him the false name. whatever. i went back there and he's got a scrapbook full of clippings. clippings of what? -clippings of what? the box tunnel 20. what? people are sick. fact two. -they watch documentaries about children with... an elbow for a face or something. a scrapbook? really? let me go back there with a warrant. ok. -this is the last time we ever have this conversation. we have a list of suspects with a history of violence and mental illness, and if we don't make an arrest this week, everyone in that room gets replaced. this... clippings and ex-girlfriends, this is gossip. this isn't even a fingerprint or anything even approaching proof. it's a waste of time and you are not going to pursue it any further. -do you trust mitchell? if mitchell told me the sky was blue, i'd have to go outside to check. he says i'm a vampire. like the story by byron. those wretches who tormented me, they said so too. -it's... bewildering, isn't it? that woman who came to the house... i could hear her blood throb and pound through her veins... yet i don't hear that with you or george or the girl or... why is that? look... whatever you are, it doesn't have to define you. -take it from me. define me? i'm... i'm hunger. that is what defines me. -hunger is the length and breadth of me now. that will pass. but... how? i... i... -i... these images in here are really dark, dark desires and... i can't sleep. if i am the victim of a conspiracy to drive me mad, i confess it is working. listen to me. -hang onto that. you are not going mad. but any other reaction in this house would be insane. don't let this become comfortable. stay separate, stay... appalled. -i... i showed her the journal. the policewoman? she found it mightily interesting. was that the wrong thing to do? -fiat justitia ruat caelum, nina. let justice be done though the heavens fall. yes, yes, yes, yes! yes, hello? oh. -oh, nina! nina! do you think he needs to go to hospital? i will have to clean it out but it doesn't look too deep. see? -told you. but you really should have got it dressed earlier. could be infected. see? i told you. -look, george, why don't you take tom and get me some hot water and basically anything that's, you know, in another room? yeah, gotcha. come on, let's get some hot water. what's all this? oh! -annie has started fighting crime. it's only a matter of time, really. any news on the baby? um... no. you're showing. -it's just my jumper. how did you get this? vampires. got us this morning. payback for the dog fight. -i killed two. tom killed two. i'm surprised they haven't gone for you and george yet. maybe, um... maybe they don't know where we are. oh, trust me, they know. -me and tom have lived under the radar for years. they still found us. you must be off limits. probably because you got their poster boy looking after you. something's changed. -no. no, i mean it's just, well, the past few weeks have been... well, pretty routine, actually. i mean here. something's different. i mean, you're what? -19? 20? you shouldn't be killing vampires from a shitty campervan. you... you should have chlamydia and a 24-hour hangover, because, trust me, tom, you will look back, and they will be the best years of your life. -we don't have a choice. yeah, you do. you could stay here. mcnair would never agree to that. please screw bloody mcnair! -you people really do swear a lot, don't you? it's just an observation. mcnair says it suggests a limited vocabulary. oh, does he? well, actually, i can speak six different languages, so mcnair can just... piss off. -here you go. you know, i thought we'd stay for a while. really? the leg is pretty painful,to be honest, and you said i should rest it. suppose so. -see? doctor's orders. you do know it's a full moon tonight. i was thinking maybe i could use your basement? it's probably not a good idea to run round the forest in this state. -nina uses that, so... no, not so far. all right with you, tom? it's just for a few days. you could probably watch some cartoons. -maybe george will take you for a pint. yeah, i'd like that. yeah, all right. well, that's settled, then. and thank you for this. -much appreciated. i know what's happening here. i know why he's got the scrapbook. he was telling me about it this morning. he said that if there's a big crime or something, the vampires took care of it themselves. -that must be what he's doing. oh, god! he's... he's investigating this too. he knows it was daisy and he wants to bring her to justice, just like we do. -phew! thank god we cleared that up! now, nancy, we need to stay focussed. never mind what shouty man says. mitchell can lead us to daisy. -and i know he's worried about the repercussions but... there's something bigger at stake here. whoever did this, someone's child, someone's... someone's lover. we can't think about that. there has to be justice, whatever the cost. john mitchell... -i'm coming to get you. yes! sort of. now i'm talking to myself. no, you're not nancy, it's fine. -you're not, really. all right? yeah, i forgot to mention. we've got guests. that's five. -what? that's fine. hi. what? where are you going? -upstairs. why? nothing. good. there's someone... -just make sure you don't go anywhere, ok? ok, listen. it's a full moon tonight. and downstairs there's standing room only for bloody like us, so are you gonna tell me how you did it? how did you survive that werewolf attack, herrick? -you just keep asking me this, cos these are riddles! i haven't got time for this. the old herrick knows the answers, so we need to find him now. oh, i know you're in there. you old bastard! -i can see you sniggering behind his eyes. i know you can hear me. just stop this! just stop this! i don't know what it is you want from me. -there's only one way to bring you back. but i won't do that. not yet. get some rest. see you later. -i know who killed the box tunnel 20. mitchell told me. he told you? you're kidding! daisy hannigan spiteri... something. -what? sh... sorry, who? she confessed to mitchell, more or less. but it's a bit complicated, cos she's a vampire, so mitchell says that we have to, you know, tread carefully. -was there any proof? what do you mean? well, you know, what with that policewoman sniffing around, you know what they're like, they find stuff. yes. well, no, yes. -there was a scrapbook with clippings of the murders in it. and... and how did he explain that? well, he has been investigating the case too. the murders? yeah. -apparently that's what vampires do if one of them goes bad. or badder. yeah, so he's looking for daisy. he's just trying to... gather all the clues. so he didn't do it? -i mean, really didn't? no. oh, my god! nina! no. -daisy. do you know her? um... well, yeah, kind of. her and her husband attacked me and mitchell a few months ago, but it does... it does kind of make sense, she was pretty wild. -she's, um... she's very determined and tenacious. surprisingly strong. nimble. you do know you're saying all this out loud, don't you? well, this is it. -nancy is on her way here. we are going to crack this and we are going to throw a book at daisy. hi, john. just wondering if we could have another little chat. so... here we are again. -yeah, suddenly got the urge. it's funny, that. john, why do you have a scrapbook full of clippings about the box tunnel 20 if you have no connection to the crime? i don't know what you mean. tell her that you're investigating the case too. -we could all work together. it wasn't mine. it's complicated. there was this guy, graham. he put it all together. -he thought it was the kind of thing i'd be impressed by. i thought it was gross. graham? why didn't you just say? anyway, it doesn't matter now. -i burnt the bloody thing. ok, i want to talk to you about daisy hannigan spiteri. did you have any luck finding her? no, but then she did die in 1941. how are you finding wales, by the way? -yeah. yeah, it's good. hmm. are you from cardiff yourself? why have you given me the name of someone who died 70 years ago? -it's the name she gave me. it's probably made up. she was a total fantasist. even the things she said about the murder. she was always coming out with stuff like that. -people she'd met, things she'd done. mitchell, what are you saying? so now you think she didn't have anything to do with the murders? it's pretty unlikely, yeah. john, i know you're dicking me about. -do you want to know how i know? yeah. yeah, this should be good. it's all pretty basic. the muscles around your eyes don't move when you smile. -generally your body language is limited and stiff, the lack of direct statements, lots of "probably"s and "i think"s. plus there's the willingness to change the subject, even though i just said a friend of yours died in world war ii. last thing, i'd like to speak to nina's uncle billy again. i'm not sure that's a good idea. i don't bite. -sure! why not? i'll just make sure he's presentable. hey, it's ok. it's ok, it's all right. -i'm not going to hurt you again. i swear. that policewoman's back. she wants to talk to you. i cannot be trusted. -the first time we met, we were soldiers. you know war's real. it's a different planet. men have to do things that they'd never dream of. things that seem terrible, heretical. -but in a war... these things can be heroic. selfless. they can save lives. but we're not at war. oh, we are. -it's a secret war, but yes, we are. and sometimes we'll be asked to do things that seem to be bad, but they're not. and this is very important. they're not bad, they're brave. i don't know what you're talking about. -mitchell, i implore you. keep that woman away from me. it's not being a coward and it's not failing. it's being brave enough to let nature take its course. mitchell, what are you doing? -what am i doing? what the hell do you think you're doing bringing that woman back here? she thinks you're the murderer. for god's sake, just give her bloody daisy! what bit of this don't you understand? -i give her daisy and everything ends. you get arrested and everything ends anyway. i won't allow that to happen. what's that supposed to mean? i told you. -i'll deal with this, all right? nancy. hi! listen, are you here to talk to mitchell again? it's just that... -the thing is... here's the thing. i was the one that reported him to the helpline. why did you do that, nina? i got the wrong end of the stick about something, but now i've had time to reconsider and i really don't think he had anything to do with it. -so what changed your mind? has he spoken to you about someone called daisy? daisy hannigan spiteri? yeah! i've been thinking about it and i think she might know something. -nina, maybe you can help me out here. why has john, and now you, given me the name of someone who died before the cocking coronation? something's going on in this house. the people in it think that they can lie to me, and i don't like that. he's waiting for you. -helped myself to a glass of water. hope you don't mind. nope. hi, billy. i wanted to ask you a few more questions. -i'll leave you to it. i wanted to talk to you about john, if that's ok. i think he's... giving you some... very big secrets to look after. and i don't think that's fair. billy, i want you to take a step back. -ok? i want this to be a nice chat, like we had before. hang on a sec, it's a bit dark in here. you know, you should probably provide lights and heating and stuff. billy? -he likes to keep it all zen and shit. he won't even let me hook up a vcr. do you know what? can we do this another time? i think billy's pretty tired and when he gets tired, he just... -so just give us a bit of a heads up next time, yeah? yeah, um... john, john, there are still questions... oh, jesus, i think i can hear billy. look, i gotta run. -but... i'll speak to you really soon, ok? see you around. softly, softly! my god, is that it? -is that the actual carriage? hey, cooper. what's so urgent it couldn't wait until tomorrow? i just wanted to talk to you in private before we take this upstairs. i got the results on those prints. -ooh! what prints? i've been doing this job for 16 years and i've never seen anything like this. come on. so, the guy you got these prints from, john mitchell, isn't it? -whoa! whoa! how did you get those? mid 20s? then i don't know what is going on. -basically, i've got this contact in forensics. i wanted this done under the radar. and he's found a match. in fact, he found two matches. you're kidding. -but this is where it gets weird. look, nancy, i think we should go. so, match one sheffield, sally fenza. severe head trauma, body found by her flatmate. jesus! -he's done this before? check the date. we really shouldn't be here. 24th december... 1960? he used to be a very, very different person. -there's no way whoever did this could have the same prints as my guy? impossible. shit! hang on. you said there were two matches for the prints. -what was the second? box tunnel massacre. say that again. prints from your suspect were found in the carriage of the box tunnel 20. no, that's not true. -and they're everywhere. they were in blood too, meaning they were post mortem. nancy, somehow your guy is... the guy. no, there must be a mistake. -there must be. oh, my god! this is it! we've got him. not on this alone. -if the defence lawyer gets hold of the 1960s evidence, it'll cast enough doubt to make the box tunnel prints invisible. so you're going to need something else. what other evidence have you got? he's got... he had a scrapbook full of clippings from the murders, plus he was based in bristol but fell off the radar literally the day after. -mitchell! no! i suppose the concern is you'll find something else. what do you mean? hello? -tom? mcnair? nina! it's me. do you want anything? -prophecy, my arse. frankly, mitchell couldn't have done more to implicate himself if he'd left a confession and diagrams. the work we've had to do covering this up, i swear. apparently he found out his girlfriend was some nutty, vampire-killing christian. that's what finally pushed him over the edge. -mitchell was never really a team player, but arresting him... sorry, we can't let that happen. we like our privacy too much. don't get me wrong. you're good. -tenacious, uncompromising. qualities we really like. that and generally being a shit. shit! jonathan cooper, i'm arresting you for assaulting a police officer and perverting the course of justice. -you're not really getting this, are you? we can't be arrested. what are you? the bastard masons? hey, casper! -you still here? looks like your friend left you. yeah, what friend? you had a ghost following you around. probably something to do with mitchell. -he always kept very odd company. mad as a badger. don't worry. this isn't how you're going to die. i just need to make you a little more receptive. -i'm gonna give you a gift. you've been head-hunted, nancy, for an exciting new opportunity. think of it as evolutionary promotion. she's not interested. long as i live... -i'll never forget that scent. you remember me. i assume that you are the victim of another barbarity i'm supposed to have committed. another barbarity? fucking southerners! -let's see if this jogs your memory. you walked unharmed from a plane crash. only now, i don't know what to do with you. ring any bells? now, i must warn you, mitchell is very keen on keeping me alive. -you so much as lay a finger on me, and i shall scream until the windows shake in their frames. that's the plan. he hears you, he runs up here... and i get two new teeth. you see, i'd hate you to think i'd been idle since we last met. meet your family. -i remember every single one of them. marco, he was a scrapper. while this one here... scottish girl. very pretty. -daisy? fought like a cat. and this space here... is for you. agh! whatever his crimes, the man you knew is not the man before you now. -vampires don't reform. yeah, look at me. i'm saved. we thought we could sneak in before your first appointment. we really appreciate it, hayley. -have you had any pains or bleeding? er... no, no, it's just for peace of mind really. you've got twigs and stuff in your hair. oh, god! -oh! we... we went camping last night. yeah, that's the other thing. i always get really worried after we've... gone camping. you know, the cold and stuff. -so don't go camping. george... makes me. george! so, anyway, while we're here, it would be good to see if there's anything abnormal or... like what?

(upbeat music playing) i got it, i got it. man: -come on, kick it in now! (engine revving) (all exclaiming) did it work? (laughing) -sir, we found it. you know, for a crazy homeless person, he's pretty cut. hey, sorry i tased you! excuse me, excuse me! what is this? -oh. my ex. good with patients and bad with relationships. they're the only clothes i had that would fit you. they will suffice. -you're welcome. thor: this mortal form has grown weak. i need sustenance. we should never have let him go. -there was no stopping him. fandral: well, at least he's only banished, not dead. which is what we'd all be if that guard hadn't told odin where we'd gone. how did the guard even know? -i told him. what? i told him to go to odin after we'd left. he should be flogged for taking so long. we should never have reached jotunheim. -you told the guard? i saved our lives. and thor's. i had no idea father would banish him for what he did. loki. -you must go to the allfather and convince him to change his mind. and if i do, then what? i love thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. he's arrogant. he's reckless. -he's dangerous. you saw how he was today. is that what asgard needs from its king? he may speak of the good ofasgard, but he's always been jealous of thor. we should be grateful to him, he saved our lives. -laufey said there were traitors in the house of odin. a master of magic could bring three jotuns into asgard. fandral: loki's always been one for mischief, but you're talking about something else entirely. odln: -stop! loki: am i cursed? odln: no. -what am i? you're my son. what more than that? the casket wasn't the only thing you took from jotunheim that day, was it? no. -in the aftermath of the battle, i went into the temple and i found a baby. (crying) small for a giant's offspring. abandoned, suffering, left to die. laufey's son. -yes. why? you were knee-deep in jotun blood, why would you take me? you were an innocent child. no. -you took me for a purpose. what was it? (shouting) tell me! i thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace. -through you. what? but those plans no longer matter. so i am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me. why do you twist my words? -you could have told me what i was from the beginning, why didn't you? you're my son. i wanted only to protect you from the truth. because i'm the monster parents tell their children about at night? no, no. -you know, it all makes sense now! why you favoured thor all these years! because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a frost giant sitting on the throne ofasgard! guards! guards, please, help! -jane: how'd you get inside that cloud? darcy: also, how could you eat an entire box of pop-tarts and still be this hungry? this drink, i like it. -i know. it's great, right? another! jane: sorry, izzy. little accident. -what was that? it was delicious. i want another. well, you could have just said so. i just did. no, i mean, ask nicely. -i meant no disrespect. all right. well, no more smashing. deal? you have my word. -good. man 1: the usual, please, izzy. man 2: you missed all the excitement out at the crater. -man 1: they're saying some kind of satellite landed out in the desert. man 2: yeah, we were having a good time with it until the feds showed up. jane: -excuse me. did you say there was a satellite crash? man 2: yeah. oh, my god. -this is going on facebook. smile. what did it look like, the satellite? i don't know anything about satellites, but it was heavy. i mean, nobody could lift it. -they said it was radioactive. i had my hands all over it. which way? fifty miles west of here. man 1: -well, i wouldn't waste my time! looked like the whole army was coming when we left. (brakes squealing) - (honklng) driver: dumbass! -where are you going? fifty miles west of here. why? to get what belongs to me. oh, so you own a satellite now? -it's not what they say it is. well, whatever it is, the government seems to think it's theirs. so, you just intend to go in there and take it? yes. if you take me there now, i'll tell you everything you wish to know. -everything? yes. all the answers you seek will be yours once i reclaim mjolnir. myeu-muh? what's myeu-muh? -can i have a word, jane? please don't do this. (softly) you saw what i saw last night. this is no coincidence. we have to find out what's in that crater. -but i'm not talking about the crater, i'm talking about him. but he's promising us the answers. he's delusional. listen to what he's saying. he's talking about mjolnir and thor and bifrost. -it's the stories i grew up with as a child. i'm just going to drive him. that's it. he's dangerous, jane. i'm sorry, but i can't take you. -then this is where we say goodbye. (giggles) um... thank you? jane foster, -erik selvig, darcy, farewell. all right. back to work. (truck honklng) -hey! that's my stuff! what the hell is going on here? ms foster, i'm agent coulson with s.h.l.e.l.d. is that supposed to mean something to me? -you can't do this! jane! jane, this is a lot more serious than you realise. let it go. let it go? -this is my life. we're investigating a security threat. we need to appropriate your records and all your atmospheric data. by "appropriate," do you mean steal? here, this should more than compensate you for your trouble. -i can't just buy replacements at radio shack, i made most of this equipment myself! then i'm sure you can do it again. and i'm sure i can sue you for violating my constitutional rights! i'm sorry, ms foster, but we're the good guys. so are we! -i'm on the verge of understanding something extraordinary. and everything i know about this phenomenon is either in this lab or in this book. and you can't just take this away... hey! jane! -easy! easy. jane... thank you for your cooperation. years of research, gone. -darcy: they even took my ipod. erik: what about the backups? jane: -they took our backups. they took the backups of our backups. they were extremely thorough. i just downloaded, like, 30 songs onto there. could you please stop with your ipod? -who are these people? i knew this scientist. the pioneer in gamma radiation. s.h.l.e.l.d. showed up and he wasn't heard from again. they're not gonna do that to us. -i'm gonna get everything back. come on, please. let me contact one of my colleagues. he's had some dealings with these people before. i'll e-mail him and maybe he can help. -they took your laptop, too. allfather, we must speak with you urgently. my friends. where's odin? father has fallen into the odinsleep. -mother fears he may never awaken again. we would speak with her. she has refused to leave my father's bedside. you can bring your urgent matter to me. (spear thuddlng) -your king. my king, we would ask that you end thor's banishment. (chuckles) my first command cannot be to undo the allfather's last. we're on the brink of war with jotunheim. -our people need a sense of continuity, in order to feel safe in these difficult times. all of us must stand together for the good ofasgard. yes, of course. good. then you will wait for my word. -if i may beg the indulgence of your majesty to perhaps reconsider... we're done! (scoffs) i need a horse! we don't have horses. -just dogs, cats, birds... then give me one of those large enough to ride. (honklng) hey, you still need a lift? i've never done anything like this before. -have you ever done anything like this before? many times. but you're brave to do it. well, they just stole my entire life's work. i don't really have much left to lose. -yeah, but you're clever. far more clever than anyone else in this realm. "realm"? "realm"? you think me strange. yeah, i do. -good strange or bad strange? i'm not quite sure yet. (tyres screeching) (both laughing) i'm sorry. but who are you? -really? you'll see soon enough. you promised me answers. what you seek, it's a bridge. like an einstein-rosen bridge? -more like a rainbow bridge. god, i hope you're not crazy. loki: (softly) i never get used to seeing him like this. frlgga: he's put it off for so long now, that i fear... -how long will it last? i don't know. this time it's different. we were unprepared. so why did he lie? -he kept the truth from you so that you would never feel different. you are our son, loki, and we, your family. we mustn't lose hope that your father will return to us. and your brother. what hope is there for thor? -there's always a purpose to everything your father does. (thunder crashing) jane: that's no satellite crash! they would have hauled the wreckage away, they wouldn't have built a city around it. -you're going to need this. what? wait, why? (thunder rumbling) now stay here. -once i have mjolnir, i will return the items they've stolen from you. deal? no. look what's down there. you think you're just gonna walk in, grab our stuff and walk out? -no. i'm going to fly out. technician: sir, feed from the keyhole can barely penetrate the cloud cover. tech's barely working as it is, with all the interference that thing's giving off. and we've got a commercial aircraft coming right over us. -southwest airlines, flight 5434. reroute it like all the others. hold a sec. we've got something outside the fence, west side. agent: -delancey, jackson. west side perimeter. go check it out. there it is. delancey, jackson. -report. agent down. we've got a perimeter breach. (klaxons blaring) (gasps) -you've reached dr erik selvig. please leave me a message. hi, erik, it's me. don't worry, i'm fine, but just in case you don't hear from me in the next hour, just come by the crater site and try and find me, okay? i did exactly what you told me not to. -i'm sorry. so sorry. bye. agent 1: bravo quadrant, move! -(thunder crashing) (hlgh-pltched hum) agent 2: entering south tunnel! agent 3: -negative, negative. i have no comms. agent 4: target sighted, east tunnel! i need eyes up high, with a gun. -moving north! what have we got? there's a massive electromagnetic surge coming off that thing. systems are barely coping. barton? -talk to me. you want me to slow him down, sir? or are you sending in more guys for him to beat up? i'll let you know. you're big. -fought bigger. better call it, coulson, 'cause i'm starting to root for this guy. last chance, sir. coulson: wait. -i want to see this. (gruntlng) (screaming) all right, show's over. ground units, move in. -erik: he committed a crime. he's in jail! jane: i can't just leave him there! -erik: why? you didn't see what i saw! darcy: (gasps) look! look, it's myeu-muh. -where'd you find this? erik: the children's section. i just wanted to show you how silly his story was. but you're the one who's always pushing me to chase down every possibility, every alternative! -i'm talking about science, not magic! well, magic's just science that we don't understand yet. arthur c. clarke. who wrote science fiction. a precursor to science fact! -in some cases, yeah. well, if there is an einstein-rosen bridge, then there's something on the other side. and advanced beings could have crossed it! jane. a primitive culture like the vikings might have worshipped them as deities. -yes! yes, exactly. thank you. mmm-hmm. (sighs) -coulson: you made my men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world, look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops. that's hurtful. in my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them. why don't you tell me where you received your training? -pakistan? chechnya? afghanistan? no, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. where was it? -south africa? certain groups pay very well for a good mercenary like you. who are you? one way or another, we find out what we need to know. we're good at that. -(pager beeplng) don't go anywhere. loki! what are you doing here? i had to see you. -what's happened? tell me. is it jotunheim? let me explain to father. father is dead. what? -your banishment, the threat of a new war, it was too much for him to bear. you mustn't blame yourself. i know that you loved him. i tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen. -it was so cruel to put the hammer within your reach, knowing that you could never lift it. the burden of the throne has fallen to me now. can i come home? the truce with jotunheim is conditional upon your exile. yes, but couldn't we find a way... -and mother has forbidden your return. this is goodbye, brother. i'm so sorry. no. i am sorry. -thank you for coming here. farewell. goodbye. goodbye? i just got back. -(static crackling) (mjolnlr humming) sir? he's got a visitor. his name is donald blake? -dr donald blake. you have dangerous coworkers, dr selvig. he was distraught when he found out that you've taken all our research. that was years of his life, gone! you can understand how a man could go off like that. -a big, faceless organisation like yours coming in with their jackbooted thugs and... that's how he put it. that still doesn't explain how he managed to tear through our security. steroids! he's a bit of a fitness nut. -(alarm beeps) technician: sir? it says here that he's an m.d. well, he is! -or he was. he switched careers and became a physicist. a brilliant physicist. he's a wonderful man. he's a man in pain. -erik: oh, donny, donny, donny! there you are. you're gonna be all right. i'm taking you home now. -coulson: dr selvig! just keep him away from the bars. i will! where are we going? -to get a drink. follow them. you know, i had it all backwards. i had it all wrong. it's not a bad thing finding out that you don't have all the answers. -you start asking the right questions. for the first time in my life, i have no idea what i'm supposed to do. anyone who's ever going to find his way in this world has to start by admitting he doesn't know where the hell he is. thank you for what you've done. no, don't thank me. i only did it for jane. -her father and i taught at university together. he was a good man. he never listened. neither did i. my father was trying to teach me something, but i was too stupid to see it. -i don't know if you're delusional or if you're pulling some kind of con, i don't care. i just care about her. i've seen the way she looks at you. i swear to you, i mean her no harm. good. -in that case, i'll buy you another round, and you leave town tonight. two boilermakers. laufey: kill him. after all i've done for you? -so you're the one who showed us the way into asgard. that was just a bit of fun, really. to ruin my brother's big day. and to protect the realm from his idiotic rule for a while longer. i will hear you. -i will conceal you and a handful of your soldiers, lead you into odin's chambers, and you can slay him where he lies. why not kill him yourself? (snorts) i suspect that the asgardians would not take kindly to a king who had murdered his predecessor. once odin is dead, i will return the casket to you and you can return jotunheim to all its... glory. -i... accept. what troubles you, gatekeeper? i turned my gaze upon you in jotunheim, but could neither see you nor hear you. you were shrouded from me, like the frost giants that entered this realm. -perhaps your senses have weakened after your many years of service. or perhaps someone has found a way to hide that which he does not wish me to see. you have great power, heimdall. did odin ever fear you? no. -and why is that? because he is my king and i am sworn to obey him. he was your king and you're sworn to obey me now. yes? yes. -then you will open the bifrost to no one until i have repaired the damage that my brother has done. (banging on door) (gasps) oh, my god. is he okay? he's fine. not injured at all. -(groans) - i'm sorry, my friend. what happened? we drank, we fought, he made his ancestors proud. put him on the bed. (groans) -(laughing) i still don't think you're the god of thunder. but you ought to be. are these your chambers? it's more of a temporary living situation. i'm sorry. i don't usually have guests. -actually, i never have guests. that's not the right place for it. i'm sorry. can we go outside? yes, of course. -i come up here sometimes when i can't sleep or i'm trying to reconcile particle data, or when darcy's driving me crazy. i come up here a lot, actually, now that i think about it. i'm really glad you're safe. you've been very kind to me, and i've been far less grateful than you deserve. well, i hit you with my car a couple times, so i think that kind of evens things out. -perhaps i had it coming. oh, my god! i don't believe it! it was all i could get back. i'm sorry it's not as much as i promised. -no, no, this is great! this is... i don't have to start from scratch now. thank you. what's wrong? -s.h.l.e.l.d. whatever they are, they're gonna do everything in their power to make sure this research never sees the light of day. no, jane. listen to me. you must not give up. -you must finish what you've started. why? because you're right. here, look. your ancestors called it magic, and you call it science. -well, i come from a place where they're one and the same thing. what is that? my father explained it to me like this, that your world is one of the nine realms of the cosmos, linked to each other by the branches of yggdrasil, the worlds tree. now you see it every day without realising. the images glimpsed through... -what did you call it? this hooble telescope. hubble. hubble telescope. (laughs) -tell me more. so, the nine realms. now, there is midgard, which is earth. this is alfheim. vanaheim. -jotunheim. and asgard. and that's where i come from. thank you, jane. fandral: -our dearest friend banished, loki on the throne, asgard on the brink of war, yet you've managed to consume four wild boar, six pheasant, a side of beef, and two casks of ale. shame on you. don't you care? do not mistake my appetite for apathy! -stop it, both of you! stop. we all know what we have to do. we must go. we must find thor. -it's treason. to hell with treason, it's suicide. thor would do the same for us. now shush. heimdall might be watching. -(doors opening) heimdall demands your presence. volstagg: we're doomed. you would defy the commands of loki, our king, break every oath you have taken as warriors, and commit treason to bring thor back? -yes. good. so you'll help us? i am bound by honour to our king. i cannot open the bridge to you. -complicated fellow, isn't he? now what do we do? look! what the hell was that? i don't know, sir. -we got massive energy readings out of nowhere and then they just disappeared. fifteen miles due northwest. let's go take a look. thank you. thank you. -you're very welcome. agent: base to team 2, we've got activity outside the town. stay on your target. (spear thuddlng) -ensure my brother does not return. destroy everything. mom? is there a renaissance fair in town? call it in. -yeah. base, we've got xena, jackie chan and robin hood. it's a beautiful theory, jane. but you won't be able to convince the scientific community of any of it. not without hard evidence. -found you! thor: my friends! this is good! this is good. -i don't believe it. oh, excuse me. lady sif and the warriors three. my friends, i've never been happier to see anyone. but you should not have come. -we're here to take you home. you know i can't go home. my father is dead because of me. and i must remain in exile. thor, your father still lives. -tell me, loki, how did you get the jotuns into asgard? you think the bifrost is the only way in and out of this realm? there are secret paths between the worlds to which even you, with all your gifts, are blind. but i have need of them no longer, now that i am king. and i say, for your act of treason, you are relieved of your duties as gatekeeper, and no longer citizen ofasgard. -then i need no longer obey you. get somebody from linguistics down here. (thunder crashing) (people murmuring) (people exclaiming) -was somebody else coming? is that one of stark's? i don't know. the guy never tells me anything. hello. -you are using unregistered weapons technology. identify yourself. here we go. incoming! jane, you have to leave. -what are you gonna do? i'm staying here. thor's going to fight with us! my friends, i'm just a man. i'll only be in the way, or worse, get one of you killed. but i can help get these people to safety. -well, if you're staying, then so am i. we'll need some time. you'll have it! okay, move it, people! everybody out! -use the back door. go, hurry! you can eat later. keep it distracted. for asgard! -sif: fall back! go. now. run! -(screaming) sif. sif, you've done all you can. no. i will die a warrior's death. stories will be told of this day. -live, and tell those stories yourself. now go. you must return to asgard. you have to stop loki. what about you? -do not worry, my friends. i have a plan. come on. we need to fall back. come on. come on. -wait! what's he doing? brother, whatever i have done to wrong you, whatever i have done to lead you to do this, i am truly sorry. but these people are innocent. taking their lives will gain you nothing. -so take mine and end this. no. (gasps) it's over. no. it's not over. -i mean, you're safe. we're safe. it's over. (thor inhaling deeply) no. -agent 1: we're spiking. agent 2: levels increase! whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, -shall possess the power of thor. (mjolnlr whooshlng) jane! no. no. -no! come! oh. my. god. -so, is this how you normally look? more or less. it's a good look. we must go to the bifrost site. i would have words with my brother. -coulson: excuse me! donald? i don't think you've been completely honest with me. know this, son of coul. -you and i, we fight for the same cause, the protection of this world. from this day forward, you can count me as your ally if you return the items you have taken from jane. stolen. borrowed. of course, you can have your equipment back. -you're gonna need it to continue your research. would you like to see the bridge we spoke of? sure. (exclaims) coulson: -wait, i need to debrief you! welcome to asgard. (muffled straining) heimdall, open the bifrost. heimdall? -heimdall! he doesn't answer. then we are stranded. heimdall! if you can hear me, we need you now! -(muffled roaring) heimdall! we need you now! heimdall! i must go back to asgard, but i give you my word, i will return for you. -deal? deal. get him to the healing room! leave my brother to me. laufey: -it's said you can still hear and see what transpires around you. i hope it's true, so that you may know your death came at the hand of laufey. and your death came by the son of odin. (gasping) -loki! you saved him! i swear to you, mother, that they will pay for what they've done today. thor: loki. -thor! i knew you'd return to us. why don't you tell her how you sent the destroyer to kill our friends, to kill me? what? why, it must have been enforcing father's last command. -you're a talented liar, brother. always have been. it's good to have you back. now if you'll excuse me, i have to destroy jotunheim. loki: -you can't stop it. the bifrost will build until it rips jotunheim apart. (frost giants screaming) jane? why have you done this? -to prove to father that i am the worthy son. when he wakes, i will have saved his life. i will have destroyed that race of monsters. and i will be true heir to the throne! you can't kill an entire race! -why not? and what is this newfound love for the frost giants? you could have killed them all with your bare hands. i've changed. so have i. -now fight me. i never wanted the throne! i only ever wanted to be your equal. i will not fight you, brother! i'm not your brother. -i never was. loki, this is madness. is it madness? is it? come on. -what happened to you on earth that turned you so soft? don't tell me it was that woman. oh! it was! well, maybe, when we're finished here, i'll pay her a visit myself! -(yelling) (laughing) thor! brother, please. (laughing) -enough! (gruntlng) (screaming) look at you, the mighty thor, with all your strength, and what good does it do you now, huh? -do you hear me, brother? there's nothing you can do! what are you doing? if you destroy the bridge, you'll never see her again! forgive me, jane. -(both yelling) i could have done it, father! i could have done it! for you! for all of us! -no, loki. loki, no. no! no. jane: -it's gone. (all laughing) and then, with a mighty bellow, i flew into the giant metal creature and laid him low! fandral: is that another way of saying you fell on your huge ass? -volstagg: as a matter of fact, falling was a tactic lulling the destroyer... my queen, i'm so sorry for your loss. frlgga: how is he? -sif: he mourns for his brother. and... he misses her. the mortal. -you'll be a wise king. there will never be a wiser king than you. or a better father. i have much to learn. i know that now. -someday, perhaps, i shall make you proud. you've already made me proud. so earth is lost to us. no. there is always hope. -can you see her? (helmdall laughs) yes. erik: i have the particle detectors! -darcy, do you have the s.h.l.e.l.d. satellite codes? darcy: yeah. have you seen my taser? thor: -how is she? erik: in the car. come on, jane! helmdall: -she searches foryou. nick fury: dr selvig. so you're the man behind all this? it's quite a labyrinth. -i was thinking they're taking me down here to kill me. i've been hearing about the new mexico situation. your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than i am. i have a lot to work with. the foster theory. -a gateway to another dimension. it's unprecedented. isn't it? legend tells us one thing, history, another. but every now and then, we find something that belongs to both. -what is it? power, doctor. if we can figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power. well, i guess that's worth a look. (beeping) -wa i for it. can i turn on the radio? no. erik jane you cant keep doing this. the last 17 occurrences have been predictab e to ihe second. -erik jane you're an asirophys cist, noi some storm chaser. jane: i'm ielling you, there's a connection between these atmospheric disturbances and my research. erik i wouldn t have asked you to fly out here if i wasn't absolutely sure. darcy: -jane? i ihink you want io see ihis. jane: whai is that? erik i thoughi you said it was a subt e aurora -go! get closer. r ghi. good one. go! -(laughing) (all exclaiming) what are you doing? i am not dying for s x col ege cred is! (darcy exclaiming) -(thunder crashing) (darcyand jane exclaiming) (gasps) darcy: i think that was legally yourfault. -jane: gei ihe first aid kit. do me a favor and don'i be dead. please. where did he come from? -odin: once, mankind accepted a simple truth, that they were not alone in this universe. some worlds man believed to be home to their gods. others, they knew to fear. from a realm of cold and darkness came the frost giants, -(screams) threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. (roars) but humanity would not face this threat alone. (yelling) our armies drove the frost glants back into the heart of theirown world. -the cost was great. in the end, their king fell. and the source of their power was taken from them. with the last great warended, we withdrew from the otherworlds and returned home to the realm eternal, asgard. -here we remain as a beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. and though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the un verse. bui ihe day w i come when one of you will have to defend ihat peace. do ihe frosi giants st i live? -when i'm king, i'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all! jusi as you did, father. awise k ng never seeks out war. bui he musi a ways be ready for it. i'm ready, father. -so am i. only one of you can ascend to the throne. bui boih of you were born to be kings. (all cheering) oh please. -(spear thudding) thor odinson, my heir, my firstborn. so long entrusted with the mighty hammermjolnir, forged in the heart of a dying star, its power has no equal, as a weapon to desiroy or as a too io build. 'tis a fit companion for a king. -i have defended asgard and the ives of the innocent across the n ne realms from the time of the great beginning. though the day has come... do you sweario guard the nine rea ms? i swear. and do you swear to preserve the peace? -i swear. do you swear to cast as de all self sh amb lion and to p edge yourse f only to the good of the realms? i swear! then, on ihis day, i odin aiifather, proclaim you... -the frost g anis!

(all laughing) and then, with a mighty bellow, i flew nio ihe giant meia creaiure and laid him low fandral is that anotherway of saying you fe on your huge ass? -volstagg: as a matter of fact, fa ing was a iaciic lulling ihe destroyer... my queen, i'm so sorry foryour loss. frigga how is he? sif: -he mourns for his brother. and... he misses her. the mortal. you'l be a w se king. -there will never be a wiser king than you. or a betterfather. i have much to iearn. i know that now. someday perhaps, i shall make you proud. -you've a ready made me proud. so earth is lost to us. no. there s always hope. can you see her? -(heimdall laughs) yes. erik i have the partice deiectors! darcy, do you have the s.h i.e.l d. saieiiite codes? darcy: -yeah. have you seen my taser? thor: how is she? erik in the car. -come on, jane! heimdall: she searches for you. nick fury: dr. seivig. -so you're ihe man beh nd all this? li's quite a labyrinth. i was ih nk ng they're tak ng me down here to kill me. i've been hearing about the new mexico situation. yourwork has impressed a lot of peop e who are much smarter than i am. -i have a iot to work with. the foster theory. a gateway to anotherdimension. li's unprecedented. isnt it? -legend te s us one thing, history, another. bui every now and then, we find something ihal belongs to both. what s it? power, doctor. if we can figure out how io tap it, maybe un im led power. -well, i guess that's worth a look. well, i guess that's worth a look. wait for it. can i turn on the radio? no. -jane, you can't keep doing this. the last 17 occurrences have been predictable to the second. jane, you're an astrophysicist, not some storm chaser. i'm telling you, there's a connection between these atmospheric disturbances and my research. erik, i wouldn't have asked you to fly out here if i wasn't absolutely sure. -jane? i think you want to see this. what is that? i thought you said it was a subtle aurora! go! -get closer. right. good one. go! what are you doing? -i am not dying for six college credits! i think that was legally your fault. get the first aid kit. do me a favour and don't be dead. please. -where did he come from? once, mankind accepted a simple truth, that they were not alone in this universe. some worlds man believed to be home to their gods. others, they knew to fear. from a realm of cold and darkness came the frost giants, -threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. but humanity would not face this threat alone. our armies drove the frost giants back into the heart of their own world. the cost was great. in the end, their king fell. -and the source of their power was taken from them. with the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home to the realm eternal, asgard. here we remain as a beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. and though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe. -but the day will come when one of you will have to defend that peace. do the frost giants still live? when i'm king, i'li hunt the monsters down and slay them all! -just as you did, father. a wise king never seeks out war. but he must always be ready for it. i'm ready, father. so am i. -only one of you can ascend to the throne. but both of you were born to be kings. oh, please. thor odinson, my heir, my firstborn. -so long entrusted with the mighty hammer mjolnir, forged in the heart of a dying star, its power has no equal, as a weapon to destroy or as a tool to build. 'tis a fit companion for a king. i have defended asgard and the lives of the innocent across the nine realms from the time of the great beginning. though the day has come... do you swear to guard the nine realms? -i swear. and do you swear to preserve the peace? i swear. do you swear to cast aside all selfish ambition and to pledge yourself only to the good of the realms? i swear! -then, on this day, i, odin alifather, proclaim you... the frost giants! the jotuns must pay for what they've done! they have paid, with their lives. -the destroyer did its work, the casket is safe, and all is well. all is well? they broke into the weapons vault! if the frost giants had stolen even one of these relics... they didn't. -well, i want to know why! i have a truce with laufey, king of the jotuns. he just broke your truce! they know you are vulnerable! what action would you take? -march into jotunheim as you once did. teach them a lesson. break their spirits so they'll never dare try to cross our borders again. you're thinking only as a warrior. this was an act of war! -it was the act of but a few, doomed to fail. look how far they got! we will find the breach in our defences and it will be sealed. as king of asgard... but you're not king! -not yet. it's unwise to be in my company right now, brother. this was to be my day of triumph. it'll come. in time. -what's this? if it's any consolation, i think you're right. about the frost giants, about laufey, about everything. if they found a way to penetrate asgard's defences once, who's to say they won't try again? next time with an army. -exactly. there's nothing you can do without defying father. no, no, no. i know that look. that's the only way to ensure the safety of our borders. -thor, it's madness. madness? what sort of madness? we're going to jotunheim. what? -this isn't like a journey to earth where you summon a little lightning and thunder, and the mortals worship you as a god. this is jotunheim. my father fought his way into jotunheim, defeated their armies and took their casket. we would just be looking for answers. it is forbidden! -my friends, have you forgotten all that we have done together? fandral, hogun. who led you into the most glorious of battles? you did. and volstagg, to delicacies so succulent, you thought you'd died and gone to valhalla? -you did. yes! and who proved wrong all who scoffed at the idea that a young maiden could be one of the fiercest warriors this realm has ever known? i did. true, but i supported you, sif. -my friends, we're going to jotunheim. you leave this to me. good heimdall... you're not dressed warmly enough. i'm sorry? -do you think that you can deceive me? you must be mistaken... enough! heimdall, may we pass? never has an enemy slipped my watch until this day. -i wish to know how that happened. then tell no one where we have gone until we've returned. understand? what happened? silver tongue turn to lead? -be warned. i will honour my sworn oath to protect this realm as its gatekeeper. if your return threatens the safety of asgard, bifrost will remain closed to you and you'll be left to die in the cold waste of jotunheim. couldn't you just leave the bridge open for us? -to leave the bridge open would unleash the full power of the bifrost and destroy jotunheim with you upon it. i have no plans to die today. none do. we shouldn't be here. let's move. -where are they? hiding, as cowards always do. you've come a long way to die, asgardians. i am thor odinson! we know who you are. -how did your people get into asgard? the house of odin is full of traitors. do not dishonour my father's name with your lies! your father is a murderer and a thief! and why have you come here? -to make peace? you long for battle. you crave it. you're nothing but a boy trying to prove himself a man. well, this "boy" has grown tired of your mockery. -thor, stop and think. look around you, we're outnumbered. know your place, brother. you know not what your actions would unleash. i do. -go now, while i still allow it. we will accept your most gracious offer. come on, brother. run back home, little princess. damn. -next? at least make it a challenge for me! that's more like it. don't let them touch you! thor! -we must go! then go! run! thor! heimdall! -open the bridge! father! we'll finish them together! silence! alifather. -you look weary. laufey, end this now. your boy sought this out. you're right. and these are the actions of a boy, treat them as such. -you and i can end this here and now, before there's further bloodshed. we are beyond diplomacy now, alifather. he'll get what he came for. war and death. so be it. -why did you bring us back? do you realise what you've done? what you've started? i was protecting my home. you cannot even protect your friends! -how can you hope to protect a kingdom? get him to the healing room! now! there won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act. the jotuns must learn to fear me, just as they once feared you. -that's pride and vanity talking, not leadership. you've forgotten everything i taught you about a warrior's patience. while you wait and be patient, the nine realms laugh at us. the old ways are done. you'd stand giving speeches while asgard falls. -you are a vain, greedy, cruel boy! and you are an old man and a fool! yes. i was a fool to think you were ready. father... -thor odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your king. through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! you are unworthy of these realms! you're unworthy of your title! you're unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed. -i now take from you your power! in the name of my father and his father before, i, odin alifather, cast you out! whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of thor. i think that was legally your fault. -get the first aid kit. do me a favour and don't be dead. whoa. does he need cpr? because i totally know cpr. -where did he come from? you all right? hammer? yeah, we can tell you're hammered. it's pretty obvious. -oh, my god. erik, look at this! we have to move quickly before this all changes. jane, we have to take him to the hospital. father! -he's fine, look at him. heimdall! i know you can hear me! open the bifrost! hospital. -you go, i'li stay. you. what realm is this? aifheim? nornheim? -new mexico? you dare threaten me, thor, with so puny a weapon? what? he was freaking me out! next time you decide to taser somebody, make sure he's already in the car, okay? -jane! come on. name? he said it was thor? t-h-o-r. -and your relationship to him? i've never met him before. until she hit him with a car. i grazed him, but she tasered him. yes, i did. -hi. just taking a little blood. how dare you attack the son of odin? i need some help! call security! -security to er 3, stat! you're no match for the mighty... huh. you don't think this was just a magnetic storm, do you? look, the lensing around these edges is characteristic of an einstein-rosen bridge. -a what? i thought you were a science major? political science. she was the only applicant. an einstein-rosen bridge is a theoretical connection between two different points of space-time. -it's a wormhole. erik, look. what do you see? stars. yeah, but not our stars. -see, this is the star alignment for our quadrant this time of year, and unless ursa minor decided to take a day off, these are someone else's constellations. hey! check this out. no, it can't be. i think i left something at the hospital. -it's not possible! he was on drugs or something. he just went nuts. oh, my god. i just lost my most important piece of evidence. -typical. so now what? we find him. did you see what he did in there? i'm not sure finding him is the best idea. -well, our data can't tell us what it was like to be inside that event, and he can. so, we're gonna find him. okay. so we're gonna look all over new mexico, right? exactly. -what? i'm so sorry. i swear i'm not doing this on purpose. i got it, i got it. come on, kick it in now! -did it work? sir, we found it. you know, for a crazy homeless person, he's pretty cut. hey, sorry i tased you! excuse me, excuse me! -what is this? oh. my ex. good with patients and bad with relationships. they're the only clothes i had that would fit you. -they will suffice. you're welcome. this mortal form has grown weak. i need sustenance. we should never have let him go. -there was no stopping him. well, at least he's only banished, not dead. which is what we'd all be if that guard hadn't told odin where we'd gone. how did the guard even know? i told him. -what? i told him to go to odin after we'd left. he should be flogged for taking so long. we should never have reached jotunheim. you told the guard? -i saved our lives. and thor's. i had no idea father would banish him for what he did. loki. you must go to the alifather and convince him to change his mind. -and if i do, then what? i love thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. he's arrogant. he's reckless. he's dangerous. -you saw how he was today. is that what asgard needs from its king? he may speak of the good of asgard, but he's always been jealous of thor. we should be grateful to him, he saved our lives. laufey said there were traitors in the house of odin. -a master of magic could bring three jotuns into asgard. loki's always been one for mischief, but you're talking about something else entirely. stop! am i cursed? no. -what am i? you're my son. what more than that? the casket wasn't the only thing you took from jotunheim that day, was it? no. -in the aftermath of the battle, i went into the temple and i found a baby. small for a giant's offspring. abandoned, suffering, left to die. laufey's son. -yes. why? you were knee-deep in jotun blood, why would you take me? you were an innocent child. no. -you took me for a purpose. what was it? tell me! i thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace. -through you. what? but those plans no longer matter. so i am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me. why do you twist my words? -you could have told me what i was from the beginning, why didn't you? you're my son. i wanted only to protect you from the truth. because i'm the monster parents tell their children about at night? no, no. -you know, it all makes sense now! why you favoured thor all these years! because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a frost giant sitting on the throne of asgard! guards! guards, please, help! -how'd you get inside that cloud? also, how could you eat an entire box of pop-tarts and still be this hungry? this drink, i like it. i know. it's great, right? -another! sorry, izzy. little accident. what was that? it was delicious. -i want another. well, you could have just said so. i just did. no, i mean, ask nicely. i meant no disrespect. -all right. well, no more smashing. deal? you have my word. good. -the usual, please, izzy. you missed all the excitement out at the crater. they're saying some kind of satellite landed out in the desert. yeah, we were having a good time with it until the feds showed up. excuse me. -did you say there was a satellite crash? yeah. oh, my god. this is going on facebook. smile. -what did it look like, the satellite? i don't know anything about satellites, but it was heavy. i mean, nobody could lift it. they said it was radioactive. i had my hands all over it. -which way? fifty miles west of here. well, i wouldn't waste my time! looked like the whole army was coming when we left. dumbass! -where are you going? fifty miles west of here. why? to get what belongs to me. oh, so you own a satellite now? -it's not what they say it is. well, whatever it is, the government seems to think it's theirs. so, you just intend to go in there and take it? yes. if you take me there now, -i'li tell you everything you wish to know. everything? yes. all the answers you seek will be yours once i reclaim mjolnir. myeu-muh? -what's myeu-muh? can i have a word, jane? please don't do this. you saw what i saw last night. this is no coincidence. -we have to find out what's in that crater. but i'm not talking about the crater, i'm talking about him. but he's promising us the answers. he's delusional. listen to what he's saying. -he's talking about mjolnir and thor and bifrost. it's the stories i grew up with as a child. i'm just going to drive him. that's it. he's dangerous, jane. -i'm sorry, but i can't take you. then this is where we say goodbye. um... thank you? jane foster, -erik selvig, darcy, farewell. all right. back to work. hey! -that's my stuff! what the hell is going on here? ms foster, i'm agent coulson with s.h.l.e.l.d. is that supposed to mean something to me? you can't do this! -jane! jane, this is a lot more serious than you realise. let it go. let it go? this is my life. -we're investigating a security threat. we need to appropriate your records and all your atmospheric data. by "appropriate," do you mean steal? here, this should more than compensate you for your trouble. i can't just buy replacements at radio shack, i made most of this equipment myself! -then i'm sure you can do it again. and i'm sure i can sue you for violating my constitutional rights! i'm sorry, ms foster, but we're the good guys. so are we! i'm on the verge of understanding something extraordinary. -and everything i know about this phenomenon is either in this lab or in this book. and you can't just take this away... hey! jane! easy! -easy. jane... thank you for your cooperation. years of research, gone. they even took my ipod. -what about the backups? they took our backups. they took the backups of our backups. they were extremely thorough. i just downloaded, like, 30 songs onto there. -could you please stop with your ipod? who are these people? i knew this scientist. the pioneer in gamma radiation. s.h.l.e.l.d. showed up and he wasn't heard from again. -they're not gonna do that to us. i'm gonna get everything back. come on, please. let me contact one of my colleagues. he's had some dealings with these people before. -i'll e-maii him and maybe he can help. they took your laptop, too. alifather, we must speak with you urgently. my friends. where's odin? -father has fallen into the odinsleep. mother fears he may never awaken again. we would speak with her. she has refused to leave my father's bedside. you can bring your urgent matter to me. -your king. my king, we would ask that you end thor's banishment. my first command cannot be to undo the alifather's last. we're on the brink of war with jotunheim. our people need a sense of continuity, in order to feel safe in these difficult times. -all of us must stand together for the good of asgard. yes, of course. good. then you will wait for my word. if i may beg the indulgence of your majesty to perhaps reconsider... -we're done! i need a horse! we don't have horses. just dogs, cats, birds... then give me one of those large enough to ride. -hey, you still need a lift? i've never done anything like this before. have you ever done anything like this before? many times. but you're brave to do it. -well, they just stole my entire life's work. i don't really have much left to lose. yeah, but you're clever. far more clever than anyone else in this realm. "realm"? "realm"? -you think me strange. yeah, i do. good strange or bad strange? i'm not quite sure yet. i'm sorry. -but who are you? really? you'li see soon enough. you promised me answers. what you seek, it's a bridge. -like an einstein-rosen bridge? more like a rainbow bridge. god, i hope you're not crazy. i never get used to seeing him like this. he's put it off for so long now, that i fear... -how long will it last? i don't know. this time it's different. we were unprepared. so why did he lie? -he kept the truth from you so that you would never feel different. you are our son, loki, and we, your family. we mustn't lose hope that your father will return to us. and your brother. what hope is there for thor? -there's always a purpose to everything your father does. that's no satellite crash! they would have hauled the wreckage away, they wouldn't have built a city around it. you're going to need this. what? -wait, why? now stay here. once i have mjolnir, i will return the items they've stolen from you. deal? no. -look what's down there. you think you're just gonna walk in, grab our stuff and walk out? no. i'm going to fly out. sir, feed from the keyhole can barely penetrate the cloud cover. -tech's barely working as it is, with all the interference that thing's giving off. and we've got a commercial aircraft coming right over us. southwest airlines, flight 5434. reroute it like all the others. hold a sec. -we've got something outside the fence, west side. delancey, jackson. west side perimeter. go check it out. there it is. -delancey, jackson. report. agent down. we've got a perimeter breach. you've reached dr erik selvig. -please leave me a message. hi, erik, it's me. don't worry, i'm fine, but just in case you don't hear from me in the next hour, just come by the crater site and try and find me, okay? i did exactly what you told me not to. i'm sorry. -so sorry. bye. bravo quadrant, move! entering south tunnel! negative, negative. -i have no comms. target sighted, east tunnel! i need eyes up high, with a gun. moving north! what have we got? -there's a massive electromagnetic surge coming off that thing. systems are barely coping. barton? talk to me. you want me to slow him down, sir? -or are you sending in more guys for him to beat up? i'll let you know. you're big. fought bigger. better call it, coulson, 'cause i'm starting to root for this guy. -last chance, sir. wait. i want to see this. all right, show's over. ground units, move in. -he committed a crime. he's in jail! i can't just leave him there! why? you didn't see what i saw! -look! look, it's myeu-muh. where'd you find this? the children's section. i just wanted to show you how silly his story was. -but you're the one who's always pushing me to chase down every possibility, every alternative! i'm talking about science, not magic! well, magic's just science that we don't understand yet. arthur c. clarke. who wrote science fiction. -a precursor to science fact! in some cases, yeah. well, if there is an einstein-rosen bridge, then there's something on the other side. and advanced beings could have crossed it! jane. -a primitive culture like the vikings might have worshipped them as deities. yes! yes, exactly. thank you. mmm-hmm. -you made my men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world, look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops. that's hurtful. in my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them. why don't you tell me where you received your training? pakistan? -chechnya? afghanistan? no, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. where was it? south africa? -certain groups pay very well for a good mercenary like you. who are you? one way or another, we find out what we need to know. we're good at that. don't go anywhere. -loki! what are you doing here? i had to see you. what's happened? tell me. -is it jotunheim? let me explain to father. father is dead. what? your banishment, the threat of a new war, -it was too much for him to bear. you mustn't blame yourself. i know that you loved him. i tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen. it was so cruel to put the hammer within your reach, knowing that you could never lift it. -the burden of the throne has fallen to me now. can i come home? the truce with jotunheim is conditional upon your exile. yes, but couldn't we find a way... and mother has forbidden your return. -this is goodbye, brother. i'm so sorry. no. i am sorry. thank you for coming here. -farewell. goodbye. goodbye? i just got back. sir? -he's got a visitor. his name is donald blake? dr donald blake. you have dangerous coworkers, dr selvig. he was distraught when he found out that you've taken all our research. -that was years of his life, gone! you can understand how a man could go off like that. a big, faceless organisation like yours coming in with their jackbooted thugs and... that's how he put it. that still doesn't explain how he managed to tear through our security. -steroids! he's a bit of a fitness nut. sir? it says here that he's an m.d. well, he is! -or he was. he switched careers and became a physicist. a brilliant physicist. he's a wonderful man. he's a man in pain. -oh, donny, donny, donny! there you are. you're gonna be all right. i'm taking you home now. dr selvig! -just keep him away from the bars. i will! where are we going? to get a drink. follow them. -you know, i had it all backwards. i had it all wrong. it's not a bad thing finding out that you don't have all the answers. you start asking the right questions. for the first time in my life, -i have no idea what i'm supposed to do. anyone who's ever going to find his way in this world has to start by admitting he doesn't know where the hell he is. thank you for what you've done. no, don't thank me. i only did it for jane. -her father and i taught at university together. he was a good man. he never listened. neither did i. my father was trying to teach me something, but i was too stupid to see it. -i don't know if you're delusional or if you're pulling some kind of con, i don't care. i just care about her. i've seen the way she looks at you. i swear to you, i mean her no harm. good. -in that case, i'll buy you another round, and you leave town tonight. two boilermakers. kill him. after all i've done for you? so you're the one who showed us the way into asgard. -that was just a bit of fun, really. to ruin my brother's big day. and to protect the realm from his idiotic rule for a while longer. i will hear you. i will conceal you and a handful of your soldiers, lead you into odin's chambers, and you can slay him where he lies. -why not kill him yourself? i suspect that the asgardians would not take kindly to a king who had murdered his predecessor. once odin is dead, i will return the casket to you and you can return jotunheim to all its... glory. i... -accept. what troubles you, gatekeeper? i turned my gaze upon you in jotunheim, but could neither see you nor hear you. you were shrouded from me, like the frost giants that entered this realm. perhaps your senses have weakened after your many years of service. -or perhaps someone has found a way to hide that which he does not wish me to see. you have great power, heimdall. did odin ever fear you? no. and why is that? -because he is my king and i am sworn to obey him. he was your king and you're sworn to obey me now. yes? yes. then you will open the bifrost to no one until i have repaired the damage that my brother has done. -oh, my god. is he okay? he's fine. not injured at all. i'm sorry, my friend. -what happened? we drank, we fought, he made his ancestors proud. put him on the bed. i still don't think you're the god of thunder. but you ought to be. -are these your chambers? it's more of a temporary living situation. i'm sorry. i don't usually have guests. actually, i never have guests. -that's not the right place for it. i'm sorry. can we go outside? yes, of course. i come up here sometimes when i can't sleep or i'm trying to reconcile particle data, or when darcy's driving me crazy. -i come up here a lot, actually, now that i think about it. i'm really glad you're safe. you've been very kind to me, and i've been far less grateful than you deserve. well, i hit you with my car a couple times, so i think that kind of evens things out. perhaps i had it coming. -oh, my god! i don't believe it! it was all i could get back. i'm sorry it's not as much as i promised. no, no, this is great! -this is... i don't have to start from scratch now. thank you. what's wrong? s.h.l.e.l.d. -whatever they are, they're gonna do everything in their power to make sure this research never sees the light of day. no, jane. listen to me. you must not give up. you must finish what you've started. -why? because you're right. here, look. your ancestors called it magic, and you call it science. well, i come from a place where they're one and the same thing. -what is that? my father explained it to me like this, that your world is one of the nine realms of the cosmos, linked to each other by the branches of yggdrasil, the worlds tree. now you see it every day without realising. the images glimpsed through... what did you call it? -this hooble telescope. hubble. hubble telescope. tell me more. so, the nine realms. -now, there is midgard, which is earth. this is aifheim. vanaheim. jotunheim. and asgard. -and that's where i come from. thank you, jane. our dearest friend banished, loki on the throne, asgard on the brink of war, yet you've managed to consume four wild boar, six pheasant, a side of beef, and two casks of ale. shame on you. -don't you care? do not mistake my appetite for apathy! stop it, both of you! stop. we all know what we have to do. -we must go. we must find thor. it's treason. to hell with treason, it's suicide. thor would do the same for us. -now shush. heimdall might be watching. heimdall demands your presence. we're doomed. you would defy the commands of loki, our king, break every oath you have taken as warriors, and commit treason to bring thor back? -yes. good. so you'li help us? i am bound by honour to our king. i cannot open the bridge to you. -complicated fellow, isn't he? now what do we do? look! what the hell was that? i don't know, sir. -we got massive energy readings out of nowhere and then they just disappeared. fifteen miles due northwest. let's go take a look. thank you. thank you. -you're very welcome. base to team 2, we've got activity outside the town. stay on your target. ensure my brother does not return. destroy everything. -mom? is there a renaissance fair in town? call it in. yeah. base, we've got xena, jackie chan and robin hood. -it's a beautiful theory, jane. but you won't be able to convince the scientific community of any of it. not without hard evidence. found you! my friends! -this is good! this is good. i don't believe it. oh, excuse me. lady sif and the warriors three. -my friends, i've never been happier to see anyone. but you should not have come. we're here to take you home. you know i can't go home. -my father is dead because of me. and i must remain in exile. thor, your father still lives. tell me, loki, how did you get the jotuns into asgard? you think the bifrost is the only way in and out of this realm? -there are secret paths between the worlds to which even you, with all your gifts, are blind. but i have need of them no longer, now that i am king. and i say, for your act of treason, you are relieved of your duties as gatekeeper, and no longer citizen of asgard. then i need no longer obey you. get somebody from linguistics down here. -was somebody else coming? is that one of stark's? i don't know. the guy never tells me anything. hello. -you are using unregistered weapons technology. identify yourself. here we go. incoming! jane, you have to leave. -what are you gonna do? i'm staying here. thor's going to fight with us! my friends, i'm just a man. -i'll only be in the way, or worse, get one of you killed. but i can help get these people to safety. well, if you're staying, then so am i. we'll need some time. you'li have it! -okay, move it, people! everybody out! use the back door. go, hurry! you can eat later. -keep it distracted. for asgard! fall back! go. now. -run! sif. sif, you've done all you can. no. i will die a warrior's death. -stories will be told of this day. live, and tell those stories yourself. now go. you must return to asgard. you have to stop loki. -what about you? do not worry, my friends. i have a plan. come on. we need to fall back. -come on. come on. wait! what's he doing? brother, whatever i have done to wrong you, whatever i have done to lead you to do this, -i am truly sorry. but these people are innocent. taking their lives will gain you nothing. so take mine and end this. no. -it's over. no. it's not over. i mean, you're safe. we're safe. -it's over. no. we're spiking. levels increase! whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, -shall possess the power of thor. jane! no. no. no! -come! oh. my. god. so, is this how you normally look? -more or less. it's a good look. we must go to the bifrost site. i would have words with my brother. excuse me! -donald? i don't think you've been completely honest with me. know this, son of coul. you and i, we fight for the same cause, the protection of this world. from this day forward, you can count me as your ally if you return the items you have taken from jane. -stolen. borrowed. of course, you can have your equipment back. you're gonna need it to continue your research. would you like to see the bridge we spoke of? -sure. wait, i need to debrief you! welcome to asgard. heimdall, open the bifrost. heimdall? -heimdall! he doesn't answer. then we are stranded. heimdall! if you can hear me, we need you now! -heimdall! we need you now! heimdall! i must go back to asgard, but i give you my word, i will return for you. -deal? deal. get him to the healing room! leave my brother to me. it's said you can still hear and see what transpires around you. -i hope it's true, so that you may know your death came at the hand of laufey. and your death came by the son of odin. loki! you saved him! -i swear to you, mother, that they will pay for what they've done today. loki. thor! i knew you'd return to us. why don't you tell her how you sent the destroyer to kill our friends, to kill me? -what? why, it must have been enforcing father's last command. you're a talented liar, brother. always have been. it's good to have you back. -now if you'll excuse me, i have to destroy jotunheim. you can't stop it. the bifrost will build until it rips jotunheim apart. jane? why have you done this? -to prove to father that i am the worthy son. when he wakes, i will have saved his life. i will have destroyed that race of monsters. and i will be true heir to the throne! you can't kill an entire race! -why not? and what is this newfound love for the frost giants? you could have killed them all with your bare hands. i've changed. so have i. -now fight me. i never wanted the throne! i only ever wanted to be your equal. i will not fight you, brother! i'm not your brother. -i never was. loki, this is madness. is it madness? is it? come on. -what happened to you on earth that turned you so soft? don't tell me it was that woman. oh! it was! well, maybe, when we're finished here, i'll pay her a visit myself! -thor! brother, please. enough! look at you, the mighty thor, with all your strength, and what good does it do you now, huh? -do you hear me, brother? there's nothing you can do! what are you doing? if you destroy the bridge, you'll never see her again! forgive me, jane. -i could have done it, father! i could have done it! for you! for all of us! no, loki. -loki, no. no! no. it's gone. and then, with a mighty bellow, i flew into the giant metal creature and laid him low! -is that another way of saying you fell on your huge ass? as a matter of fact, falling was a tactic lulling the destroyer... my queen, i'm so sorry for your loss. how is he? he mourns for his brother. -and... he misses her. the mortal. you'll be a wise king. there will never be a wiser king than you. -or a better father. i have much to learn. i know that now. someday, perhaps, i shall make you proud. -you've already made me proud. so earth is lost to us. no. there is always hope. can you see her? -yes. i have the particle detectors! darcy, do you have the s.h.l.e.l.d. satellite codes? yeah. have you seen my taser? -how is she? in the car. come on, jane! she searches for you. dr selvig. -so you're the man behind all this? it's quite a labyrinth. i was thinking they're taking me down here to kill me. i've been hearing about the new mexico situation. your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than i am. -i have a lot to work with. the foster theory. a gateway to another dimension. it's unprecedented. isn't it? -legend tells us one thing, history, another. but every now and then, we find something that belongs to both. what is it? power, doctor. if we can figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power. -well, i guess that's worth a look. transcribed by salman wait for it. can i turn on the radio? no. -jane, you can't keep doing this. the last seventeen occurrences, had been predictable to the second. jane... you're an astrophysicist not some storm chaser. -i'm telling you, there's a connection, between these atmosphere disturbances and my research. erik, i... i wouldn't have asked you to fly out here, if i wasn't absolutely sure. jane? i think you wanna see this. -what is that? god! i thought you said, it was a subtle aurora. go! help me get down! -get closer. yeah, right! good one! go! what are you doing? -i'm not dying for six college credits! i think that was legally your fault. get the first aid kit. do me a favor and don't be dead! please! -where did he come from? once... mankind accepted a simple true, that they were not alone, in this universe. some worlds, man believed to be home to their gods. others, they new to fear. from a realm of cold and darkness, came the frost giants. -threatening to plunge the mortal world, into a new ice age. but humanity, would not face this threat alone. our armies drove the frost giants, back into the heart of their own world. the cost was great. in the end, their king fell. -and the source of their power, was taken from them. with the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds, and returned home, to the realm eternal... asgard. and here, we remain as the beacon of hope. shining out to across the stars. -and though we have fallen into mans myths and legends, it was asgard, and its warriors, that brought peace... to the universe. but the day will come, when one of you, will have to defend that peace. do the frost giants still live? when i'm a king... i'll hunt the monsters down, and slay them all! -just as you did, father. a wise king, never seeks out war, but... he must always be ready for it. i'm ready, father. so am i. only one of you can ascend to the throne. -but both of you, were born to be kings. {transcribed by salman} oh, please. yes! thor odinson, my heir, -my first-born. so long entrusted with the mighty hammer, mjolnir. forged in the heart of a dying star. its power has no equal, as a weapon to destroy, or as a tool to build. it is a fit companion for a king. -i have defended asgard, and the lives of the innocent across the nine realms, in the time of the great beginning. and though the day has come for a new king... do you swear to guard the nine realms? i swear. and do you swear to preserve the peace? -i swear. do you swear, to cast aside all selfish ambition, and to pledge yourself only to the good of the realms? i swear! then on this day, i, odin allfather, will proclaim you... the frost giants... -the jotuns must pay for what they've done! they have paid with their lives. the destroyer did its work, the casket is safe, and all is well. all is well? they broke into the weapons vault! -if the frost giants had stolen even one of these relics... but they didn't. well, i want to know why? i have a truce with laufey, king of the jotun. he just broke your truce! -they know you're vulnerable. what action would you take? march into jotunheim as you once did, teach them a lesson, break their spirits so they'll never dare-- try to cross our borders again! you're thinking only as a warrior! this was an act of war! -it was the act of but a few, doomed to fail. look how far they got! we will find the breach in our defenses, and it will be sealed. as king of asgard... -but you're not king! not yet. it's unwise to be in my company right now, brother. this was to be my day of triumph. it will come. -in time. what's this? if it's any consolation, i think you're right. about the frost giants, about laufey, about everything. if they found a way to penetrate the asgard defenses once, who's to say they won't try again. -next time with an army. exactly! there's nothing you can do, without defying father. no. no, no, no, no, no. -i know that look! it's the only way to ensure the safety of our borders. thor, it's madness. madness? what sort of madness? -we're going to jotunheim. what? this isn't like a journey to earth, where you summon a little lightning and thunder, and the mortals worship you as a god. this is jotunheim. my father fought his way into jotunheim, defeated their armies, and took their casket. -we would just be looking for answers. it is forbidden! my friends, have you forgotten all that we've done together? fandral, hogun? who led you into the most glorious of battles? -you did. and volstagg, to delicacies so succulent, you thought you'd died and gone to valhalla? you did. yes. and who proved wrong all who scoffed at the idea that-- a young maiden could be one of the fiercest warriors, this realm has ever known? -i did. true. but i supported you, sif. my friends, we're going to jotunheim. -leave this to me. good heimdall... you're not dressed warmly enough. i'm sorry? do you think that you can deceive me? -you must be mistaken. we're not - enough! heimdall, may we pass? never has an enemy slipped my watch, until this day. -i wish to know how that happened. then tell no one where we've gone, until we've returned. understand? what happened? your silver tongue turn to lead? -be warned. i will honor my sworn oath, to protect this realm as its gatekeeper. if your return threatens the safety of asgard, bifrost will remain closed to you. and you'll be left to die in the cold wastes of jotunheim. -couldn't you just leave the bridge open for us? to leave the bridge open, would unleash the full power of the bifrost, and destroy jotunheim with you upon it. i have no plans to die today. none do. we shouldn't be here. -let's move. {transcribed by salman} where are they? hiding. as cowards always do. -you've come a long way to die asgardians. i am thor odinson. we know who you are. how did your people get into asgard? the house of odin is full of traitors. -do not dishonor my father's name with your lies! your father is a murderer and a thief. and why have you come here? to make peace? you long for battle. -you crave it! you're nothing but a boy, trying to prove himself a man. this boy has grown tired of your mockery. thor, stop and think. look around you. -we are outnumbered. know your place, brother... you know not what your actions would unleash. i do. go now, while i still allow it. -we will accept your most gracious offer. come on, brother. run back home, little princess. damn! next! -at least make it a challenge for me! that's more like it! don't let them touch you! thor! we must go! -then go! run! thor! heimdall! open the bridge! -father! we'll finish them together! silence! allfather. you look weary. -laufey. end this now. your boy sought this out. you're right. these are the actions of a boy. -treat them as such. you and i can end this, here, now. before there's further bloodshed. we are beyond diplomacy now, allfather. he'll get what he came for... war and death. -so be it. why did you bring us back? do you realize what you've done? what you've started? i was protecting my home. -you cannot protect your friends. how can you hope to protect a kingdom? get him to the healing room! now! there won't be a kingdom to protect, if you're afraid to act! -the jotuns must learn to fear me, just as they once feared you. that's pride and vanity talking, not leadership! have you forgotten everything i've taught you? what of a warrior's patience? while you wait and be patient, the nine realms laugh at us. -the old ways are done. you'd stand giving speeches while asgard falls! you're a vain, greedy, cruel boy! and you are an old man and a fool! yes. -i was a fool, to think you were ready. father. nay! thor odinson... you have betrayed the express command of your king. -through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms, and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! you are... unworthy of these realms! unworthy of your title! you're unworthy... of the loved ones, you have betrayed. i now take from you, your power! -in the name of my father! and his father before! i, odin allfather, cast you out! whosoever holds of this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of thor. i think that was legally your fault. -get the first aid kit. do me a favor and don't be dead. wow. does he need cpr? because i totally know cpr. -where did he come from? you all right? hammer! hammer! yeah, we can tell you're hammered. -that's pretty obvious. oh, my god! erik, look at this. we've got to move quickly before this all changes. jane, we have to take him to the hospital. -father! he's fine, look at him. heimdall! i know you can hear me! open the bifrost! -hospital. you go, i'll stay. you! what realm is this? alfheim? -nornheim? new mexico! you dare threaten me, thor, with so puny a weapon! what? he was freaking me out. -next time you decide to taser someone, make sure he's already in the car, okay? jane, come on. name? he said it was "thor". t-h-o-r. -and your relationship to him? i've never met him before. until she hit him with the car. i grazed him. but she tasered him. -yes, i did. hi. just taking a little blood. how dare you attack the son of odin! i need some help! -you need help? call security! security to er! we need assistance! you're no match for the mighty... -{transcribed by salman} huh. you don't think this was just a magnetic storm, do you? look. the lensing around these edges, is characteristic of an einstein-rosen bridge. -a what? i thought you were a science major. political science. she was the only applicant. an einstein-rosen bridge is a theoretical connection, between two different points of space-time. -it's a wormhole. erik, look... what do you see? stars. yeah. -but not our stars. see, this is the star alignment, for our quadrant, this time of year. and unless ursa minor decided to take the day off... these are someone else's constellations. hey, check this out. no, it can't be. -i think i left something at the hospital. it's not possible. oh, what the hell happened? i don't wanna know. i just lost my most important piece of evidence. -typical. now what? we find him. did you see what he did in there? i'm not sure finding him is the best idea. -well, our data can't tell us-- what it was like to be inside that event, and he can. so, we're gonna find him. okay. so you're gonna look all over new mexico, right? exactly. -oh, what? i'm so sorry. i swear i'm not doing this on purpose! # if you got a problem, you don't care what it is # # you'll need a hand, i can assure you this. # # i can help. # -# i got two strong arms, i can help. # # it would sure do me good # # to do you good let me help # come on, pick it in now! did it work? sir... -we've found it. you know, for a crazy, homeless person, he's pretty cut. hey, sorry i tased you! excuse me, excuse me! umm. -what is this? oh... my ex. good with patience and bad with relationships. uh... -they're the only clothes i had that would fit you. they will suffice. you're welcome. this mortal form has grown weak. i need sustenance! -we should never have let him go. there was no stopping him. at least he's only banished, not dead. which is what we'd all be if that guard, hadn't told odin where we'd gone. how did the guard even know? -i told him. what? i told him to go to odin after we'd left. he should be flogged for taking so long. we should have never reached jotunheim. -you told the guard? i saved our lives. and thor's. i had no idea father would banish him for what he did. loki... you must go to the allfather, and convince him to change his mind! -and if i do, then what? i love thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. he's arrogant, he's reckless, he's dangerous! you saw how he was today. is that what asgard needs from its king? -he may speak of the good of asgard, but he's always been jealous of thor. we should be grateful to him. he saved our lives. laufey said there were traitors in the house of odin. a master of magic could bring three jotuns into asgard. -loki's always been one for mischief, but you're talking about something else entirely. stop! am i cursed? no. what am i? -you're my son. what more than that? the casket wasn't the only thing, you took from jotunheim that day, was it? no. in the aftermath of the battle, i went into the temple, and i found a baby. -small for a giant's offspring, abandoned, suffering, left to die. laufey's son. yes. why? you were knee-deep in jotun blood. -why would you take me? you were an innocent child. no. you took me for a purpose, what was it? tell me! -i thought we could unite our kingdoms one day, bring about an alliance, bring about a permanent peace, through you. what? but those plans no longer matter. so i am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me. -why do you twist my words? you could have told me what i was from the beginning. why didn't you? you are my son. i wanted only to protect you from the truth. -what? because i... i... i... i'm the monster that parents tell their children about at night? -don't... you know, it all makes sense now! why you favored thor all these years. because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a frost giant, sitting on the throne of asgard! guards! -guards, please help! how'd you get inside that cloud? also how could you eat an entire box of pop tarts, and still be this hungry? this drink, i like it. i know, it's great, right? -another! sorry, izzy. little accident. what was that? it was delicious. -i want another. well, you could have just said so! i just did. no. i mean ask nicely. -i meant no disrespect. all right. well, no more smashing. deal? you have my word. -good. the usual, please, izzy. you missed all the excitement out at the crater. they're saying some kind of satellite landed out in the desert. yeah, we were having a good time with it, -untill the feds showed up. excuse me, did you say there was a satellite crash? yeah. oh, my god! this is going on facebook. -smile! what did it look like, the satellite? well, i don't know nothing about satellites. but it was heavy. heavy. -nobody could lift it. they said it was radioactive. i had my hands all over it. which way? oh. -fifty miles west of here. but i wouldn't waste my time. looked like the whole army was coming in when we left! where are you going? fifty miles west of here. -why? to get what belongs to me. oh, so you own a satellite now? it's not what they say it is. well, what ever it is, the government seems to think it's theirs. -so, you just intend to go in there and take it? yes. if you take me there now, i'll tell you everything you wish to know. everything? -yes. all the answers you seek will be yours, once i reclaim mjolnir. myeu-muh? what's myeu-muh? can i have a word, jane? -please don't do this. you saw what i saw last night. this is no coincidence. we have to find out what's in that crater. but i'm not talking about the crater. -i'm talking about him. but he's promising us answers. he's delusional! listen to what he's saying. he's talking about mjolnir, and thor and bifrost! -it's the stories i grew up with as a child. i'm just gonna drive him. that's it! he's dangerous, jane. i'm sorry. -but i can't take you. then this is where we say goodbye. uh... thank you! jane foster, erik selvig, darcy. -farewell. alright. back to work. hey! that's my stuff! -what the hell is going on here? ms. foster, i'm agent coulson, with shield. is that suppose to mean something to me? you can't do this! jane. -jane. this is a lot more serious than you realize. let it go. let it go? this is my life! -we're here investigating a security threat. we need to appropriate your records, and all your atmospheric data. by "appropriate" you mean "steal"? here. this should more than compensate you for your trouble. -i can't just buy replacements of radioshack! i made most of this equipment myself! then i'm sure you can do it again. and i'm sure i can sue you, for violating my constitutional rights! i'm sorry, ms. foster. -but we're the good guys. so are we! i'm on the verge of understanding something extraordinary. and everything i know about this phenomenon, is either in this lab, or in this book, and you can't just take this with... hey! -jane! easy! easy! thank you for your cooperation. years of research, gone. -they even took my ipod. what about the backups? they took our backups. they took the backups of our backups. they were extremely thorough. -just downloaded like thirty songs onto there. could you please, stop with your ipod! who are these people? i knew this scientist. a pioneer in gamma radiation. -shield showed up, and... he wasn't heard from again. they're not gonna do that to us. i'm gonna get everything back. come on, please! let me contact one of my colleagues. -he's had some dealings with these people before. i'll email him and maybe he can help. they took your laptop, too. all-father, we must speak with you urgently! my friends. -where's odin? father has fallen into the odinsleep. mother fears he may never awaken again. we would speak with her. she has refused to leave my father's bedside. -you can bring your urgent matter to me. your king. my king, we would ask that you end thor's banishment. my first command can not be to undo the allfather's last. we're on the brink of war with jotunheim. -our people need a sense of continuity, in order to feel safe in these difficult times. all of us must stand together, for the good of asgard. yes, of course. good, then you await for my word. if i may, beg the indulgence of your majesty, -to perhaps reconsider... we're done! i need a horse! we don't have horses. just dogs, cats, birds. -then give me one of those, large enough to ride. hey, you still need a lift? i've never done anything like this before. have you ever done anything like this before? many times. -but you're brave to do it. well, they just stole my entire life's work. i don't really have much left to lose. but you're clever. thanks. -far more clever than anyone else on this realm. realm? realm? you think me strange? yeah, i do. -good strange, or bad strange? i'm not quite sure yet. i'm sorry. but who are you? really? -you'll see soon enough. you promised me answers. what you seek, it's a bridge. like an einstein-rosen bridge? more like a rainbow bridge. -god, i hope you're not crazy. {transcribed by salman} i never get used to seeing him like this. but he's put it off for so long now. but i fear... -how long will it last? i don't know. this time, it's different. we were unprepared. so why did he lie? -he kept the truth from you, so that you would never feel different. you are our son, loki. and we your family. we mustn't lose hope that your father will return to us. and your brother. -what hope is there for thor? there's always a purpose to everything your father does. this tube is a satellite crash? if they would've hauled the wreckage away, they wouldn't built a city around it. you're going to need this. -what? wait, why? now stay here. once i have mjolnir, i will return the items they've stolen from you. -deal? no! look what's down there! you think you're just gonna walk in, grab our stuff, and walk out? -no. i'm gonna fly out. sir, feed from the keyhole. can barely penetrate the cloud cover. tech's barely working as it is, with all the interference, that thing's giving off. -and we've got a commercial aircraft coming in right over us, southwest airlines flight 5434. reroute it, like all the others. hold a sec... we've got something outside the fence, west side. delancey, jackson, west side perimeter, go check it out. -delancey, jackson, report. agent down! we've got a perimeter breach! you've reached dr. erik selvig. please leave me a message. -hi, erik. it's me. don't worry, i'm fine. but... just in case you don't hear from me in the next hour, just come by the crater site and try to find me, okay? i did exactly what you told me not to. -i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. bye! you two, follow me! all the squad, move! -open the gate! he breached our tunnel! negative, negative! place is locked on! i need eyes up high. -with a gun. pulling north! so, what have we got? there's a mass of electromagnetic surge coming of that thing. systems are barely cooperating. -barton. talk to me. do you want me to slow him down, sir? or you're sending in more guys for him to beat up? i'll let you know. -you're big. fought bigger. you better call it coulson, cause i'm starting to root for this guy. last chance, sir! no, wait! -i wanna see this. why? ! alright, show's over. ground units, move in. -he committed a crime! he's in jail! i can't just leave him there! why? you didn't see what i saw! -look! look! it's myeu-muh. where'd you find this? the children's section. -i just wanted to show you how silly his story was. but you're the one who's always pushing me, to chase down every possibility, every alternative! i'm talking about science, not magic! well magic's just science that we don't understand yet, arthur c. clarke. -who wrote science fiction. a precursor to science fact! in some cases, yes. well, if there is an einstein-rosen bridge, then there's something on the other side. and advanced beings could have crossed it! -oh, jane... you made my men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world, look like a bunch of minimum wage mall cops. that's hurtful. in my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training, to do what you did to them. why don't you tell me, where you received your training? -pakistan? chechnya? afghanistan? you know, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. where was it? -south africa? certain groups pay very well for a good mercenary like you. who are you? one way or another we'll find out what we need to know. we're good at that. -don't go anywhere. loki? what are you doing here? i had to see you. what's happened? -tell me? is it jotunheim? let me explain to father. father is dead. what? -you're banishment. the threat of a new war. it was too much for him to bear. you mustn't blame yourself. i know that you loved him. -i tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen. so cruel to put the hammer within your reach, knowing that you could never lift it. the burden of the throne has fallen to me now. can i come home? the truce with jotunheim is conditional upon your exile. -yes, but... couldn't we find a way to... your mother, has forbidden your return. this is goodbye, brother. i'm so sorry. -no. i am sorry. thank you for coming here. farewell. goodbye. -goodbye? i just got back. sir... he's got a visitor. his name is donald blake? -doctor donald blake. you have dangerous co-workers, doctor selvig. he was distraught when he found out, that you'd taken all of our research. that was years of his life, gone! you can understand how a man can go off like that. -a big faceless organization like yours, coming in with their jackbooted thugs and... that's how he put it. that still doesn't explain, how he managed to tear through our security. steroids! he's a bit if a fitness nut. -sir? it says here that he was an m.d. well, he is! or he was. he switched careers and became a physicist. -a brilliant physicist. he's a...he's a wonderful man. he's a man in pain. oh, donny, donny, donny! there you are! -it's gonna be all right, i'm taking you home, now. doctor selvig? just keep him away from the bars. i will. where are we going? -to get a drink. follow them. you know, i had it all backwards. i had it all wrong. was that a bad thing, finding out that you don't have all the answers? -you start asking the right questions. for the first time in... in my life, i have no idea what i'm supposed to do. anyone who's ever going to find his way in this world, has to start by admitting, he doesn't know where the hell he is. -thank you, for what you've done. no, don't thank me. i only did it for jane. her father and i taught at university together. he was a good man. -he never listened. neither did i. my father was trying to teach me something. but i was too stupid to see it. i don't know if you're delusional, or if you're putting some kind of con. -i don't care. i just care about her. i've seen the way she looks at you. i swear to you, i mean her no harm. good. -in that case, i'll buy you another round. and you'll leave town tonight. two boilermakers! kill him. after all i've done for you? -so you're the one who showed us the way into asgard. that was just a bit of fun really. to ruin my brother's big day. and to protect the realm from his idiotic rule for a while longer. i will hear you. -i will conceal you and a handfold of your soldiers, lead you into odin's chambers and you can slay him where he lies. why not kill him yourself? i suspect that the asgardians would not take kindly to a king, who had murdered his predecessor. once odin is dead, i will return the casket to you. and you can return jotunheim to all it's uh... glory. -i... accept. what troubles you, gatekeeper? i turned my gaze upon you in jotunheim, but could neither see you or hear you. you were shrouded from me, like the frost giants had entered this realm. perhaps your senses have weakened, after your many years of service. -or perhaps someone has found a way to hide, that which he does not wish me to see. you have great power, heimdall. did odin ever fear you? no. and why is that? -because he is my king. and i'm sworn to obey him. he was your king. and you are sworn to obey me now. yes? -yes. then you'll open the bifrost to no one. until i have repaired the damage that my brother has done. oh, my god! is he okay? -he's fine. not injured at all. i'm sorry, my friend. what happened? we drank. -we fought. he made his ancestors proud. put him on the bed. oh, i still don't think you're the god of thunder. but you ought to be. -are these your chambers? uh... it's more of a temporary living situation. oh, i'm sorry. i don't usually have guests. actually... -we never had guests. that's not the right place for it. i'm so sorry. can we go outside? yes, of course. -i come up here sometimes when i can't sleep, or when i'm trying to reconcile particle data, or when darcy's driving me crazy. i come up here a lot actually, now that i think about it. i'm really glad you're safe. you've been very kind to me. i have been far less grateful than you deserve. -well, i hit you with my car a couple times, so i think that kind of even things out. perhaps i had it coming. oh, my god! i don't believe it! it was all i could get back. -i'm sorry, it's not as much as i promised. no! no! this is great! this is... -i don't have to start from the scratch now. thank you. what's wrong? shield, whatever they are. they're going to do everything in their power, to make sure this research never sees the light of day. -no, jane. listen to me, you must not give up. you must finish what you started. why? because you're right. -here, look. you're ancestors called it magic, and you call it science. well, i come form a place, where they're one and the same thing. what is that? my father, explained it to me like this, that your world is one of the nine realms of the cosmos. -linked to each other by the branches of yggdrasil. the worlds tree. now you see it everyday without realizing. the images glimpsed through, what did you call it? this... this hooble telescope. -hubble. hubble telescope. tell me more. so, the nine realms. now there is midgard, which is earth. -there's alfheim, vanaheim, jotunheim and asgard. and that's were i come from. thank you, jane. our dearest friend banished, loki on the throne, asgard on the brink of war, -yet you've managed to consume, four wild boar, six pheasant, a side of beef and two casks of ale! shame on you! don't you care! do not mistake my appetite for apathy! stop it! -both of you! stop. we all know what we have to do. we must go. we must find thor. -it's treason. to hell with treason. it's suicide. thor would do the same for us. now, shh! -heimdall might be watching. heimdall demands your presence. we're doomed. you would defy the commands of loki, our king, break every oath you have taken as warriors, and commit treason to bring thor back? -yes. good! so you'll help us? i am bound by honor to our king. i cannot open the bridge to you. -complicated fellow, isn't he? now what do we do? look! what the hell was that? i don't know, sir. -we got massive energy readings out of nowhere, and then they just disappeared. fifteen miles due northwest. let's go take a look. thank you. thank you. -you're very welcome. base to team two, we've got activity outside the town. stay on your target. ensure my brother does not return! destroy everything! -{transcribed by salman} mom? is there a renaissance faire in town? call it in. yeah. -base, we've got... xena, jackie chan, and robin hood it's a beautiful theory, jane. you won't be able to convince... the scientific community of any of it. not without hard evidence. -found you! my friends! this is good! this is good! i don't believe it! -oh, excuse me. lady sif, and the warriors three. my friends, i have never been happier to see anyone. but you should not have come. -we're here to take you home! you know i can't go home. my father is... dead because of me. i must remain in exile. thor... your father still lives. -tell me, loki, how did you get the jotuns into asgard? you think the bifrost is the only way in and out of this realm? there are secret paths between the worlds, to which even you with all your gifts are blind. but i have need of them no longer, now that i am king. and i say, for your act of treason, you are relieved of your duties as gatekeeper. -and no longer citizen of asgard. then i need no longer obey you. get somebody from linguistics down here. was somebody else coming? is that one of stark's? -i don't know. that guy never tells me anything. hello! you're using unregistered weapons technology. identify yourself. -here we go. incoming! jane, you have to leave. what are you gonna do? i'm staying here. -thor is gonna fight with us. my friends, i'm just a man. i'll only be in the way, or worse get one of you killed. but i can help get these people to safety. -well, if you're staying, then so am i. we'll need some time. you'll have it. okay, move it people! everybody, out! -use the backdoor! go, hurry! you can eat later! keep it distracted. for asgard! -fall back! go, now! run! sif, you've done all you can. no! -i will die a warrior's death. stories will be told of this day. live, and tell those stories yourself. now, go! you must return to asgard. -you have to stop loki. what about you? don't worry, my friends. i have a plan. come on. -we need to fall back. come on! come on. wait! what's he doing? -brother, whatever i have done to wrong you, whatever i have done to lead you to do this, i am truly sorry. but these people are innocent. taking their lives will gain you nothing. so take mine... and end this. -no! it's over. no. it's not over. i mean, you're safe. -we're safe. it's over. no. no. whosoever holds of this hammer, if he be worthy, -shall possess the power of thor. jane! no. no. let's go! -now! no! oh. my. god. -so is this how you normally look? more or less. it's a good look. we must go to the bifrost site. i would have a word with my brother. -excuse me! donald, i don't think you've been completely honest with me. know this, son of coul. you and i, we fight for the same cause, the protection of this world. -from this day forward you can count me as your ally, if, you return the items you have taken from jane. stolen! borrowed. of course you can have your equipment back. you're gonna need it to continue your research. -would you like to see the bridge we spoke of? uh... sure. wait! i need to debrief you! welcome to asgard. -heimdall! open the bifrost! heimdall. heimdall. he doesn't answer. -then we're stranded. heimdall! if you can hear me, we need you now! heimdall! we need you now! -heimdall! i must go back to asgard. but i give you my word, i will return for you. deal? -deal. {transcribed by salman} get him to the healing room! it's said, you can still hear and see what transpires around you. i hope it's true. -so that you may know, your death came at the hand... of laufey. and your death came by the son of odin. loki, you saved him. i swear to you mother, that they will pay for what they have done today. loki! -thor! i knew you'd return to us. why don't you tell her? how you sent the destroyer to kill our friends! to kill me! -what? well, i must have been enforcing father's last command. you're a talented lier, brother. always have been. it's good to have you back. -now, if you'll excuse me, i have to destroy jotunheim. the bifrost will build until it rips jotunheim apart. jane? why have you done this? to prove to father, that i am a worthy son! -when he wakes, i will have saved his life. i will have destroyed that race of monsters. and i will be true heir to the throne! you can't kill an entire race! why not? -and what is this newfound love for the frost giants? you? who could have killed them all with your bear hands. i've changed. so have i. -now, fight me. i never wanted the throne! i only ever wanted to be your equal. i will not fight you, brother! i'm not your brother. -i never was! loki, this is madness! is it madness? is it? is it? -come on, what happened to you on earth that turned you so soft? don't tell me it was that woman? oh! it was! well, maybe when we're finished here, -i'll pay here a visit myself! thor! brother, please! enough! look at you. -the mighty thor! with all your strength! and what good does it do you now? do you hear me, brother? there's nothing you can do! -what are you doing? if you destroy the bridge, you'll never see her again! forgive me, jane. i could have done it, father! i could have done it! -for you! for all of us! no, loki. loki, no! no. -it's gone. {transcribed by salman} and then, with a mighty bellow, i flew into the giant metal beast and laid it low... is that another way of saying you fell on your huge... -as a matter of fact, falling down was a tactic. my queen, i'm so sorry for your loss. how is he? he mourns for his brother. and... he misses her. -the mortal. you'll be a wise king. there will never be a wiser king than you. or a better father. i have much to learn. -i know that now. but some day, perhaps, i shall make you proud. you've already made me proud. so, earth is lost to us? -no. there is always hope. can you see her? yes. i have the particle detectors. -darcy, do you have the shield's satellite codes? yeah. have you seen my taser? how is she? in the car. -come on, jane. she searches for you. transcribed by salman doctor selvig? so, you're the man behind all this? -it's quite a labyrinth. i was thinking, they're taking me down here to kill me. i've been hearing about the new mexico situation. your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than i am. i have a lot to work with. -the forster theory, a gate to another dimension. it's unprecedented. isn't it? legend tells us one thing, history another. but every now and then, we find something that belongs to both. -what is it? power, doctor. if we can figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power. well, i guess that's worth a look. well, i guess that's worth a look. -transcribed by salman thor.2011.brrip.xvid-rlf wait for it. can i turn on the radio? no. -jane, you can't keep doing this. the last 17 occurrences have been predictable to the second. jane, you're an astrophysicist, not some storm chaser. i'm telling you, there's a connection between these atmospheric disturbances and my research. erik, i wouldn't have asked you to fly out here if i wasn't absolutely sure. -jane? i think you want to see this. what is that? i thought you said it was a subtle aurora! go! -get closer. right. good one. go! what are you doing? -i am not dying for six college credits! i think that was legally your fault. jane: get the first aid kit. do me a favor and don't be dead. -please. where did he come from? once, mankind accepted a simple truth, that they were not alone in this universe. some worlds man believed to be home to their gods. others, they knew to fean -from a realm of cold and darkness came the frost giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. but humanity would not face this threat alone. our armies drove the frost giants back into the heart of their own world. the cost was great. -in the end, their king fell. and the source of their power was taken from them. with the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home to the realm eternal, asgard here we remain as a beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. -and though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe. but the day will come when one of you will have to defend that peace. do the frost giants still live? when i'm king, -i'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all! just as you did, father. a wise king never seeks out war. but he must always be ready for it. i'm ready, father. -so am i. only one of you can ascend to the throne. but both of you were born to be kings. oh, please. thor odinson, my heir, -my firstborn. so long entrusted with the mighty hammer mjolnir, forged in the heart of a dying star, its power has no equal, as a weapon to destroy or as a tool to build. 'tis a fit companion for a king. i have defended asgard and the lives of the innocent across the nine realms from the time of the great beginning. though the day has come... -do you swear to guard the nine realms? i swear. and do you swear to preserve the peace? i swear. do you swear to cast aside all selfish ambition and to pledge yourself only to the good of the realms? -i swear! then, on this day, i, odin allfather, proclaim you... the frost giants! the jotuns must pay for what they've done! -they have paid, with their lives. the destroyer did its work, the casket is safe, and all is well. all is well? they broke into the weapons vault! if the frost giants had stolen even one of these relics... -they didn't well, i want to know why! i have a truce with laufey, king of the jotuns he just broke your truce! they know you are vulnerable! -what action would you take? march into jotunheim as you once did. teach them a lesson. break their spirits so they'll never dare try to cross our borders again. you're thinking only as a warrior. -this was an act of war! it was the act of but a few, doomed to fail. look how far they got! we will find the breach in our defenses and it will be sealed. as king of asgard. -but you're not king! not yer. it's unwise to be in my company right now, brother. this was to be my day of triumph. it'll come. -in time. what's this? if it's any consolation, i think you're right. about the frost giants, about laufey, about everything. if they found a way to penetrate asgard's defenses once, who's to say they won't try again? -next time with an army. exactly. there's nothing you can do without defying father. no, no, no. i know that look. -that's the only way to ensure the safety of our borders. thor, it's madness. madness? what sort of madness? we're going to jotunheim -volstagg2 what? this isn't like a journey to earth where you summon a little lightning and thunder, and the mortals worship you as a god. this is jotunheim. my father fought his way into jotunheim, defeated their armies and took their casket. we would just be looking for answers. -it is forbidden! my friends, have you forgotten all that we have done together? fandral, hogun who led you into the most glorious of battles? you did. -and volstagg, to delicacies so succulent, you thought you'd dieol and gone to valhalla? you did. yes! and who proved wrong all who scoffed at the idea that a young maiden could be one of the fiercest warriors this realm has ever known? i did. -true, but i supported you, sif my friends, we're going to jotunheim you leave this to me. good heimdall... you're not dressed warmly enough. -do you think that you can deceive me? you must be mistaken... enough! heimdall, may we pass? never has an enemy slipped my watch until this day. -i wish to know how that happened. then tell no one where we have gone until we've returned. understand? what happened? silver tongue turn to lead? -be warned. i will honor my sworn oath to protect this realm as its gatekeeper. if your return threatens the safety of asgard, bifrost will remain closed to you and you'll be left to die in the cold waste of jotunheim. couldn't you just leave the bridge open for us? -to leave the bridge open would unleash the full power of the bifrost and destroy jotunheim with you upon it. i have no plans to die today. none do. we shouldn't be here. let's move. -where are they? hiding, as cowards always do. you've come a long way to die, asgardians i am thor odinson! laufey: -we know who you are. how did your people get into asgarol? the house of odin is full of traitors. do not dishonor my father's name with your lies! your father is a murderer and a thief! -and why have you come here? to make peace? you long for battle. you crave it. you're nothing but a boy trying to prove himself a man. -well, this "boy" has grown tired of your mockery. thor, stop and think. look around you, we're outnumbered. know your place, brother. you know not what your actions would unleash. -i do. go now, while i still allow it. we will accept your most gracious offer. come on, brother. run back home, little princess. -damn. next? at least make it a challenge for me! that's more like it. don't let them touch you! -thor! we must go! then go! run! thor! -heimdall! open the bridge! father! we'll finish them together! silence! -allfather. you look weary. laufey, end this now. your boy sought this out. you're right. -and these are the actions of a boy, treat them as such. you and i can end this here and now, before there's further bloodshed. we are beyond diplomacy now, allfather. he'll get what he came for. war and death. -so be it. why did you bring us back? do you realize what you've done? what you've started? i was protecting my home. -you cannot even protect your friends! how can you hope to protect a kingdom? get him to the healing room! now! there won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act. -the jotuns must learn to fear me, just as they once feared you. that's pride and vanity talking, not leadership. you've forgotten everything i taught you about a warrior's patience. while you wait and be patient, the nine realms laugh at us. the old ways are done. -you'd stand giving speeches while asgard falls. you are a vain, greedy, cruel boy! and you are an old man and a fool! yes. i was a fool to think you were ready. -father... thor odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your king. through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! you are unworthy of these realms! you're unworthy of your title! -you're unworthy of the loved ones you have betrayed. i now take from you your power! in the name of my father and his father before, i, odin allfather, cast you out! whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of thor. -i think that was legally your fault. get the first aid kit. do me a favor and don't be dead. whoa. does he need cpr? -because i totally know cpr. where did he come from? you all right? hammer? hammer? -yeah, we can tell you're hammered. it's pretty obvious. oh, my god. erik, look at this! we have to move quickly before this all changes. -jane, we have to take him to the hospital. father! jane: he's fine, look at him. heimdall! -i know you can hear me! open the bifrost! hospital. you go, i'll stay. you. -what realm is this? alfheim? nornheim? new mexico? you dare threaten me, thor, with so puny a weapon? -what? he was freaking me out! next time you decide to taser somebody, make sure he's already in the car, okay? jane! come on. -name? he said it was thor? t-h-o-r. and your relationship to him? i've never met him before. -until she hit him with a car. i grazed him, but she tasered him. yes, i did. hi. just taking a little blood. -how dare you attack the son of odin? i need some help! call security! security to er 3, stat! you're no match for the mighty... -huh. you don't think this was just a magnetic storm, do you? look, the lensing around these edges is characteristic of an einstein-rosen bridge. a what? i thought you were a science major? -political science. she was the only applicant. an einstein-rosen bridge is a theoretical connection between two different points of space-time. it's a wormhole. erik, look. -what do you see? stars. yeah, but not our stars. see, this is the star alignment for our quadrant this time of year, and unless ursa minor decided to take a day off, these are someone else's constellations. hey! -check this out. no, it can't be. i think i left something at the hospital. it's not possible! he was on drugs or something. -he just went nuts. oh, my god. i just lost my most important piece of evidence. typical. so now what? -we find him. did you see what he did in there? i'm not sure finding him is the best idea. well, our data can't tell us what it was like to be inside that event, and he can. so, we're gonna find him. -okay. so we're gonna look all over new mexico, right? exactly. what? i'm so sorry. -i swear i'm not doing this on purpose. i got it, i got it. come on, kick it in now! did it work? sir, we found it. -you know, for a crazy homeless person, he's pretty cut. hey, sorry i tased you! excuse me, excuse me! what is this? oh. -my ex. good with patients and bad with relationships. they're the only clothes i had that would fit you. they will suffice. you're welcome. -this mortal form has grown weak. i need sustenance. we should never have let him go. there was no stopping him. well, at least he's only banished, not dead. -which is what we'd all be if that guard hadn't told odin where we'd gone. how did the guard even know? i told him. what? i told him to go to odin after we'd left. -he should be flogged for taking so long. we should never have reached jotunheim. you told the guard? i saved our lives. and thor's. -i had no idea father would banish him for what he did. loki. you must go to the allfather and convince him to change his mind. and if i do, then what? i love thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. -he's arrogant. he's reckless. he's dangerous. you saw how he was today. is that what asgard needs from its king? -he may speak of the good of asgard, but he's always been jealous of thor. we should be grateful to him, he saved our lives. laufey said there were traitors in the house of odin. a master of magic could bring three jotuns into asgard. loki's always been one for mischief, but you're talking about something else entirely. -stop! am i cursed? no. i helped with breakfast. you pulled out a cereal bowl. -go. so? i'm sorry, fiona. it was stupid. could have ended up in prison. -where'd you get the stolen car? lip's not here, okay? i'm asking you. was it from steve? hey, fiona. -i'm gay. i know. i should have told you a long time ago. i-i don't know why i didn't. you're still on my shit list. -mind over matter. that's the trick in matters of the flesh. it's all about willpower. some people have it, some don't. me? -got it in spades. ah! lip and ian were released. released from what? jail. -huh. about time, too. you must struggle with temptation, kevin. nubile, young temptress traipsing around your house. in and out of the bathroom in her dainty little undies. -are you talking about ethel? what is she, 13? fourteen? they know. they pretend they don't, but they do. -hannah montana? those oversexed kids on glee? think they're selling good, wholesome, all-american fun? hell, no! flesh and underage temptation. -you can look, but, oh, no, don't touch. fuck off, frank. we see firm young bodies, every synapse in our cerebellum screams, "procreate, impregnate!" it's not our fault. -we're driven by the deep, invaluable, evolutionary need to perpetuate the species. my brother bennie's girl... 15. running around his house in short shorts, lace bra, underwear hanging out. i banged filipino hookers in the navy looked more innocent than my niece. all right, you two sick fucks are cut off. -willpower, my friend! willpower! we are warriors battling against the dark forces of our primal nature. knights taking up arms against our animalistic impulses in a debauched culture. doing battle every day, gentlemen. -every single day! season tickets? just for the year. playoffs, too? jesus. -this fiona better be the best pussy you ever had. she's the only pussy i ever had. check out this idiot. you stupid or just hard of hearing? ian and lip are in jail. -i thought i told you to leave town. they were driving a car that i stole. yeah, yeah, i know. they told you? no, of course not; -they're south side. you got to get them off. yeah, and why's that? 'cause they're innocent. they didn't know they were driving a stolen car? -i'll give you the house. what? the house that i bought beside fiona's. i'll give you the title; it's paid for. you get the charges dropped, it's yours. -you paid for a house in cash? it's a shitty neighborhood; i could have bought two. how many cars have you stolen? do we have a deal or not? -nothing else is changed; you're gone. you don't see her, don't call, don't write. disappear. i'm gone tonight. what the hell was that? -i think i may have just found a way to move out of my mom's basement. good job, good job. hey, where is everyone? ! kitchen! -chopped up some leftover chuck for bolognese ragu. i hope everybody is good and hungry. hey. carl, set the table. hi! -i'm jasmine. oh, sorry. jasmine, this is veronica. v lives next door. hiya, v. -those are great boots. macy's?

i think we should just be friends. why? -don't make this harder than it has to be. wait, wait, wait. is it because i said that i love you? because i don't love you. that wasn't "love you" "love you." -that was like middle-of-sex, you know, "love you." listen, honest... i don't love you. okay, no, listen. i promise, -i promise i don't love you! karen! karen, i don't love you! lip?

i think, like, about $12,000, i think. -i know a guy sells cars. why don't you give me the money, and i'll find her something nice. would you do that, frank? that would be wonderful. ah... -uh! she must have forgot her key. maybe, maybe you could teach her to drive. would you do that, frank? yeah! -teach her? hold your horses! i'm coming! maybe a vulva... i heard those are real safe. -eddie, y... you know you're not welcome here! you're not coming in! i saw frank! i saw what you did! eddie, stop, you're gonna break the door! -eddie! where are you, frank?

life's messy and people have secrets. but i don't want you worrying about this kind of stuff, okay? you're still a kid. -so just be a kid, okay? the grown-ups around here have got things covered. really? really. come on. -where is he? where is who? frank. frank gallagher! he's not here! -if you happen to see frank... tell him he's a dead man. i don't care how long it takes, i don't care how much he begs, he's fucking dead. you fucked the wrong guy's daughter, gallagher! he gone? -yeah. anybody got a spare pair of shoes i could borrow? leave the lights off, please. are lip and ian home? you bastard. -are they out of jail? you gave them a stolen car? yeah, lip asked me. to borrow one 'cause he needed to run some errands or something, and he asked me if i could... i have to leave town. -where the fuck have you been? come with me. costa rica. it's beautiful. i have friends there. -why do you have to go... the police? costa rica. we can rent a house on the beach. i don't know what the fuck you're talking about. -the kids would be all right. lip and ian can run things. yeah, debbie? carl? liam? -kev and v can still help around here. is that what you actually think this is? like, people popping in, feeding dogs? how much time will you get if you turn yourself in? look at me. -i can't go to jail. i might as well wear heels. come with me, fiona. how long is it gonna be about them and not about you? when are you gonna finally do something for yourself? -liam's two. 16 more years till he's out of the house. you'll be what, 37, 38? and who says that frank's done dumping babies in your lap to raise? you deserve a life of your own. costa rica. -then maybe rio. have you ever been to rio? you ever been outside of chicago? i love you. i want to be with you. -it's not forever. we'll come back. three months. six months. maybe a year. -you can call them every single day. come with me, fiona. come with me. first class. miami out of o'hare, tomorrow afternoon. -well, i don't have a passport. we'll get one in miami. i'll meet you at o'hare tomorrow afternoon... the american terminal. i love you. he's right. -you should go, fiona. you've done more than enough. we'll be all right. gallagher! i'm going to find you, frank! -just a matter of time, you asshole! what the hell is going on? whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. that is awesome! okay, guys, turn it of! -no, no, no, no, no! gallaghers. what? joey! what? -be a pal, lip. when you and frank get done passing around, uh, "daddyzgirl," why don't you, uh, send her over to our place? someone's got to pop this little pussy's cherry. we'll just make sure to double-bag his itsy-bitsy johnson first. -frank? one more person deserting them. costa rica? drinking blended margaritas under an umbrella on a white sand beach? give me the ticket. -shit, i'll go. i got a job offer. you know, i could start bringing in some steady cash. answering phones at some office in cermak or sambaing in rio? that's the sophie's choice you're agonizing over? -what are you afraid of? that the kids won't miss you? that by day three or four, carl will be saying, "fiona who?" when you call? afraid, if you ever do something even remotely selfish, the earth's gravitational pull will end and we'll all go flying into space? -no. shit. i think i might be in love with him. i know. scary, isn't it? -come on. lip? jesus. what are you...? you fucked her? -you fucked her? all right, all right, come on. calm down, calm down! get the fuck off me! enough! -enough! enough! calm down. get out of here. you motherfucker. -go! why would he do this? because he's a fucking psycho. i told him straight... very nice, very reasonable. "you'll get your 40 bucks when my new disability claim kicks in." -the next thing i know, he's beating me to death. honey, this is all over money? you should have asked me for it. i would have given it to you. no. -i couldn't take advantage. sweetie. you are too easy on them. they don't deserve you. you know, when it's all said and done, you're the only one who's nice to me. -oh, honey. you're really nice to me. sweet man. how's your hand? it's broken, i think. -where'd you get the car? what? the one you wrecked trying to kill your dad. i stole it. you're getting pretty good at that, huh? -quick study. i'm sorry, lip. fucking fathers, huh? lip? lip! -lip! i'm sorry! okay? i'm a shit. no, i am. -a complete asshole. i know it. if your grandmother was here, she'd say it, too. it's totally my fault. we all do things. -well, not all. it's like... the moon orbiting the earth. these things show up, and you know you shouldn't, but then you do, and then you don't know what to do. but we can't hold it against her. she's young and carefree. -i mean, we're both victims here, you and me. the bible says it is blessed to forgive, son. and that forgiveness is the first step... on the stairway to heaven. we're both fucking victims! open the window, son. -how can i ever really say i'm sorry? shit. what the fuck? ! fair enough. -("littlething" by jimmy eat world playing) hey. president yoon, it's me, baek hee. oh, come in. i want to ask president yoon for a second opportunity. -if i really were to receive another opportunity, i promise not to cheat again, and i will try really hard this time. father, i'm really trying to work hard. i will definitely not disappoint you. i'm here, director. -congratulations. congratulations! hyun shi hyuk, if you dare to do this... baek hee and you can forget about making it in this business! = episode 14 =- -how is it possible? all the news headlines are solely about hyun shi hyuk. many feel that shi hyuk's actions were worse than those officials who embezzled $200 billion won. in this case, even though he's innocent, he will appear guilty after this. being in the public eye, everything he does is considered news. -to be able to wear the crown, you have to be able to bear its weight. these kids can't afford to take all the responsibility. they're just kids, living in an adult world. it's not an easy thing to do. he's now carrying a heavy burden... one much heavier and crueler than that of his peers. -jin guk... he hit director yoon to save me. what? i really need to let people know what happened. but, i'm scared. -it will be the end for me, if i reveal it. i will never be able to recover from it. that is why jin guk didn't say anything, in order to protect you. what can i do? what can i do to make it right? -what is going to happen to jin guk? keep it to yourself. just like now, leave things as they are. i think that jin guk would want that too. hye mi. -jin guk... he, will understand; and everything will be okay. when a day passes, it all becomes yesterday's news. when two days have passed, it will become news from the day before yesterday. -and after one year, no one will remember a thing. shouldn't you guys be practicing, what are you doing here? what's this? emg world class recording company is looking for talented individuals who are preparing to become stars. even emg does this sort of thing? -looks like it's the trend right now. should i try it too? then i can be just like those great singers, and be part of their world-class elite? dream on. why are there so many conditions? -create a three-minute music video that showcases your abilities. the song must be self-composed. who has the time to do this? seems hardly possible... it's impossible. -yeah. let's go. i can't do it. let's go. it has to be in english -on top of the video requirements, we have to be trilingual? ! we won't have any life left. erm... do you meet these conditions? i just don't have the experience, so i don't want to do it. -yes. teacher shi, have you seen baek hee? no. why? the police contacted me. -they looked at the cctv video of jin guk's event. they discovered that baek hee was also at the scene. baek hee? baek hee. teacher. -the police have contacted me. they said you were at the crime scene. do you know... why jin guk hit president yoon? baek hee, what happened? -tell us. teacher. i knew it would be like this! jin guk's actions were justified! he did it to save baek hee! -we need to go to the police station right away and clear jin guk of the charges against him. then we can file our own charges against the president. how? how are you going to prove that jin guk was justified in his defense? all we have to do is have baek hee testify and that will be our proof. -you're so ruthless. have you not thought about baek hee at all? to make that testimony, she will have to confess she was sexually harassed... no matter how much we try to hide her identity, journalists will keep digging. as a result, the person whom jin guk defended against the president, and the abuse baek hee suffered; everything... will be made available to the public. -then you're saying we should just pretend like nothing happened? jin guk's dreams will be shattered! making a person sacrifice his dreams so that another can still have hers... does this make sense to you? jin guk can overcome this. -to jin guk, this matter is just a small scar. but to baek hee... this is the kind of wound that would scar her for the rest of her life. jin guk understands this and that is why he didn't reveal the reason for his action. to protect baek hee. teacher kang, haven't you heard of stories similar to this situation? -every time something like this happens, does the public sympathize with the victim? baek hee will be condemned and humiliated. although the media will refer to her as ms. a or ms. b, in the end, someone will be able to dig it up. i... -i will never allow that to happen. i have to protect baek hee. noona, can i have another bowl please? is there a hole in your stomach, oppa? how can you down that many bowls of rice? -don't be so frightened, because i'm about to eat even more. hey, sam dong. have you finished eating? i haven't quite finished. let me have some. -here you go. stop causing trouble. eat up. thank you! so... -i heard that tomorrow, you're going to go with your father to apologize to president yoon. that's right. since i misbehaved, i need to go apologize for it. so it's not just because your father's elections is coming up? unnie, you're trying to interview him again, aren't you? -it's just because i worry about him, you little brat. you're back? have you eaten yet? teacher. watch the hairdo! -it's not easy to maintain. i know, you punk. ya... what's this? i heard that emg has an audition coming up. -you should take that. but i've already got one. chuh...so it turns out i didn't need to worry. you weren't possibly...worrying about me? no. -don't smile, punk! your father is waiting for you outside. okay. how do i look? do i look like a model? -should i wear glasses? you do look a little more mature. i'll be right back. i'm sorry. i know how hard it must be, -so i should help baek hee stand by your side. but i can't do that. i am sorry. if you are really sorry, just do this. -encourage me and give me strength. do your very best! okay... i am a gentleman. do you know the pronunciation for my name? -what? "shin saem dang" what are you talking about? gentleman is "shin sa". "imnida", is pronounced the younger generation of seoul to be "im dang". -so, "shin sa", "im dang", don't you think it's funny? i think it's pretty funny. i'm in no mood to laugh now. you should find it in yourself to laugh. -do you know what it means to become an adult? they say that there are less and less reasons to smile. therefore, even if you have to look real deep for a smile, you should, right? just like jin guk. -okay... it looks like.. the old sam dong is back. the old sam dong... who knows? -hello. jin guk...no... shi hyuk will be out momentarily. yes. thank you. -father... yes. the reason why shi hyuk won't explain himself... you should just know that he always has his reasons. teacher, do you happen to know the reason? -regardless of reason, what counts is that i know the person your son is. i believe the reason shi hyuk is being so secretive, is that he wants to protect something, and he is doing it selflessly. so father, you too need to protect shi hyuk. i'm going out. when we go, you must apologize. -you must acknowledge your mistake. do you understand? okay, i understand. let's go. move aside. -please say something. are you here to apologize? how are you feeling now? please say something. do you think that support for you will drop? -are you now speaking on behalf of your child? i'm sorry. my son has acted rashly. i hope you will be more tolerant. please forgive him. -impossible. chairman, this is definitely not something you should be apologizing for. you and i both are victims here. it seems it's this boy's specialty to bite the hand that feeds him. he causes trouble for the president, who put such great effort into helping him make his debut. -he stabs his adoptive father in the back. i am so sorry, president yoon. i'm sorry, father. so why do things that you are sorry for? hmm? -why would you do it? why? i was wrong. i will never do anything like this again. good. -if you finally understand, then it's fine. shi hyuk was not adopted. what? he's my real son. father. -president. my shameful past's matters... i lied about them before. i said that he was my adopted son. father. -even though i did that, he still says that he respects and loves me. he has never once failed me. he even gave his father, who doesn't know his own birthday, a birthday present. he's just this kind of meek child, like a fool... -what are you saying now? father. please don't do this. i'm begging you. this child is docile to the point of being a fool... -if he hit you, he definitely would have had a reason. it's definitely something that you did wrong. chairman. you've misunderstood. are you sure this is what you want to be saying, chairman? -shouldn't you be trying to hide your past for the upcoming election? that's not your problem. those staff are really telling too much. let's go, shi hyuk. chairman. -chairman, is this true? are you planning on giving up the elections? how are you feeling right now? chairman, let's go back and apologize. yes, father. -let's go back, and apologize together. this is definitely my problem, so.. what i said just now... i'm not wrong, right? it's the truth, right? -yes. i will not ask the reason. he must have done something bad. yes. then, it's okay. -it will be okay. even if others suspect me, you have to believe me. okay? it looks like no one is on my side in the world. that is why i'm like this. -okay, i know. don't cry.... what do i do? what can i do now? what will happen to jin guk? -keep it to yourself. just like now, leave things as they are. they will not let baek hee off. i can't watch such a thing happen. i certainly will protect baek hee. -is jin guk really the chairman's son? looks like jin guk will be the decisive factor in the elections. but... jin guk is more ruthless than the president recently. he's even the most searched on search engines. -i'm so envious. sunbae, seriously? you're envious about everything. but... if his father gives up the elections and starts an investigation, then it must be jin guk who was wronged. -yes, right. aii, what is going to happen to our jin guk? where are you? are you all right? hye mi-ah. -i must go to the police station. i'm going to tell the truth. no. baek hee! baek hee! -yoon baek hee. baek hee. yoon baek hee! baek hee. yoon baek hee. -baek hee! please go to the police station. baek hee. baek hee! mmm... -baek hee, what are you doing? get out immediately! do not worry. i will just explain what happened to jin guk. are you crazy? -the matter has already ended. why are you going to tell the truth? hye mi. i am now very afraid of doing something illegal. baek hee. -i have also done you wrong. last time, that flower pot... i was the one who dropped it. what? i think it started around that time. -just like you said, i have been living in hell. i have been very scared, very cold, and very lonely. sorry, hye mi. baek hee. baek hee. -but... there are still so many people who are helping me. so right now, i'm no longer afraid or scared. wait, no. i am still a little scared right now. hye mi. -can you sing me a song? i really want to hear you sing. song ... what song? the song we sang at our audition. sing it here, now? -okay. i will sing for you. but, the others will definitely think that i'm crazy. you wait and see! you horrible person! -horrible person... why did you do this? i have told you before. no matter what you see or hear, don't say anything. i am sorry. -but, i'm much better than you think i am. i can endure it. how can you endure it? don't you know that this is just the beginning? jin guk, -you know that i like you very much, right? but i do know that you like hye mi. you always draw a clear line between us. so i've always been sad and not satisfied with you. why can't it be me? -why does hye mi always gets everything? why do you always have to mention hye mi? but now, i can understand. usually a person... if he wants to give something to someone else, -he'll keep a portion for himself first before giving the rest away. to protect somebody, one must protect himself first. but... you are not the same. -you don't even care about yourself, and protected me. that is enough. if i keep waiting for something to happen, more bad things will just happen. -baek hee. thank you for keeping your promise. you stood by my side till the end. up until yesterday, all of top entertainment's group k's members, -had all their contracts cancelled. the will enter company is going to pick new members to form a new group. they are jason, lee ri-ah, kim tae sun, and ha so hyun. unfortunately, hyun shi hyuk and yoon baek hee were not accepted from the list. if it's baek hee, i understand the reason. -but why shi hyuk? what he did was self defense! because the rest of the entertainment companies are afraid of president yoon. it may be hard for the other two to debut after this. although it's a pity, these two can meet teacher shi kyung jin to discuss the situation separately. -what can we say when we meet? what do you mean by that? this kind of scandal will always follow them. they probably will never be able to debut again. as opposed to spending time daydreaming, they should instead try to find another path in life. -this is our logic. no. that is not logical. they just lost their jobs. shi hyuk and baek hee had just started. -to them, ending like this is too cruel. kyung jin-ah! teacher shi... as teachers, we ought to lend them a hand. they were originally very hardworking in paving the road for their careers. -instead, they got pushed down by an adult. then we should help them to get up again. that...that is truly logical. aren't we doing this to help them? since when did you become so sympathetic? -this is not teacher's style. i will let them get chosen again. despite everything, i will help them to stand up again. they're too young to give up now. i also want to help them. -yes, me too. where did you get this? oh. sam dong gave it to me a couple of days ago. sam dong? -yes, to encourage me. so that's how you got it... how is it? do you think it works? hmm...how should i say it? -it seems like it can be useful. but at the same time, it's like it's not useful at all. yes, father. i have time. where? -a place where we won't be discovered by anyone else? i know a good place. hey. so the place you said no one would find us was actually here? yes. -in here, no one can see us. also nobody can overhear us. moreover, since it's not the weekend, there aren't many people around. recently, this world has become a place where it's hard to breathe easily. i haven't been able to tell you that i'm sorry. -you did well. i would have done the same. if it were me, i might have sacrificed my friend. especially if it meant my life would be better afterwards. ah, your image has been bad recently. -i heard that you became a national hoodlum. but i've recently heard people call me the national knight in shining armour. for saving a friend. another four years is enough, right? what? -in four years time, your image can be improved. why four years? in four years time, i intend to run for mayor again. at that time, if we are still like this, things will look bad. do you understand this? -yes, i won't let you worry. ya, can't you go sit over there instead? the center of gravity seems to always fall towards this side. no, i like sitting on this side. go to that side then. -these three people, you want me to sign them... yes, haven't you seen their performances? yes, i have seen them. however, they were not of a particularly high standard. we are white entertainment company, not the inferior entertainment company. -president ma. up to this point, we have followed what you've said. the contract is also in accordance with teacher kang's proposal. we've also established our headquarters. if others see this, they will say that i'm insane. -is this really like running a business to you? i know. i have always been grateful to you. if you really feel grateful, don't use my dream as a springboard for your children. the white entertainment company is something that i have established independently. -and this is why i recommend them. they are like you, full of dreams and hope. if we ignore them, they will only dream and not act. however, if that dream turns into everyone's dream, then it has the possibility of becoming reality. dreams coming true... -these children's dreams, my dreams, and your dreams combined. it certainly won't be just a dream. it will be fulfilled. ah ah, my mouth almost said something i shouldn't have. i'll take my leave first. -president ma, wait! president ma! president ma, please listen to me. teacher. you didn't attend class during the day? -oh, well...that is... are you going to continue not attending the class? i don't know. when i see my schoolmates, i feel embarrassed and depressed. so having class at this time shouldn't be a problem, right? -what? your classmates are not here. there is only you and me. what do you think? then every night, come here at nine o'clock to attend class. -if you want to keep up with others' progress, you need to put in some hard work. then let's start. teacher, thank you. thank you so much. baek hee, this will all blow over soon. -don't worry. you do not need to worry. teacher. what is this? the emg audition material. -let's look through it together. oh, i have seen it. however, i am underqualified. i don't have enough experience on stage. i am not good enough too. -however, if i can't do this, then no one in this country can. so just treat this as an insane mission. i have also prepared for this crazy mission. what? are you people going as well? -yes, even if you're signed, you can audition. you've come? here's yours. i also have one. when did you bring this here? -i took it when it was first came out. and now, i think i can do it. besides i'm not signed to any company, so i might as well try. if you are getting ready to record, there are still many things to do. sam dong-ah, now we'll just have to start recording the video content. -leave the content to me. forget it! she can take sam gook ji and turn it into an innocent cartoon. really? sam gook ji can be seen as innocent, okay? -yeah! then the six of us can decide on what the video content should be. ya, does that make any sense? call... call. -ya, so who gets to decide the content? oh my -ah! what is making you look so happy? why? can't i be happy? -honestly, what is going on between you and jason? well, things are... like this. do you like jason that much? mmm. i like him so much i could die. -how do you know that you like him? mmm... i think about him a lot. when something good happens, the first thing i want to do is tell him. he's also the first one i want to see when i'm feeling sad. -i feel like, if i could always be by his side, then that would be good enough. it's like that. why? what's up with you? ahh, how nauseating. -very, very gross. the flower on your head... ahh, yes... are you all right? of course, i'm all right. -teacher kang is in the office. oh, no. i came today to meet teacher shi. me...me? teacher. -do you want me to recommend students? i heard that you are a person who will give a correct appraisal. because this is a newly established entertainment company, you need to be careful in choosing who you recruit. teacher, we want to know if you have any recommendations. yes? -there are only 3 students i can recommend. their singing and dancing skills are excellent. really? i should have gone to teacher shi earlier. who are those people? -yoon baek hee, hyun shi hyuk, and song sam dong. are you and teacher kang in agreement? teacher yang... president ma, what are you doing here? teacher shi is recommending a few students to me. -recommendations? teacher yang, since you came, if you have any students to recommend, please do tell me. baek hee, sam dong, and jin guk. baek hee. sam dong. -jin guk. does this school have anyone else except these three? they do, but they can't compare to the passion these three have. no, there's one more. who is it? -no, no...definitely not. who is it? he dances and sings very well! he's the best in korea at singing and dancing. but it won't work. -is his body not good? his body is simply a work of art. his stature is not asian, he's really not that good. who is he? it's me. -hey, dong cha, let's go. yes. yes. yes. yes. -yes. didn't i just tell you no? i've said no so many times. he kept asking me. what did you want me to do? -what are you doing? it's the audition video. how can we possibly show them? i was worrying about that. we didn't even get permission. -how are we possibly going to show them? show them the future that they will not be able to see. let them look at your past. let them look at our past? yes. -let's show them how much you've changed in a year. then they will see how much you've change in the past year. will they expect this? ohhhhh... yes, i really am jackie chan. -arguing with my dad as we eat noodles at the high court as if it was just yesterday. in front of who, did you say you were jackie chan? i can't remember what you looked like a year ago. yeah, sam dong, you really won. you were so clean cut when you appeared. -it's the result of culture shock. but i don't feel like jackie chan. i'm the same as before. i... i had a dream. -i believe in that dream. yah! only this? don't you remember dancing with me in a sack? and singing when you were in the toilet? -there's a song that's... i thought i told you not to tell anyone? ! because also i cried over this... do you remember practising the bird dance in the sauna? -right. and that time, we were taken to the police station because we practiced in the night club. yes, right. you didn't even know what high five was. you were afraid i was going to hit you! -yes, i was afraid.. well, just a little. do you remember on the bus you were speaking dialect? it was so embarrassing. why...why are you looking at me like that? -yes. have i said the seoul dialect correctly? oppa! what are you thinking about? what's bothering you? -want to talk to me about it? can you do that? yup. tell me. hye seong, which one do you like more? -a person who is always with you... or a busy person who can't be with you? who is better? of course, it'd be the person who has been with me for a long time. hey, oppa bought you that hat. hand it over. -what? did i say something wrong? no, you're right. because you're right, it's making me a little angry. the question is a little strange... give me an example. -example? hye seong, do you like oppa (me) or sam dong better? you were with sam dong oppa longer. because i was a singer, i was very busy and wasn't around much. oppa or sam dong? -hey! hyun shi hyuk, song sam dong, jason... kim pil suk, go hye mi, and yoon baek hee's application forms. oh! you really plan to do the audition? -yes. when is the audition deadline? you can send that directly to their homepage. the address was in the poster. okay, understand. -12 3 . goodbye. do you wanna sing here? yes, it's so cool here. it doesn't look very impressive. -no, it's pretty. but it's not like the karaoke place. why? i think it's really cool. doesn't it look like mexico? -fine, as long as it's what you want. let's go. mmm... ready? ok! -it's samsung's sam, donghae's dong. i'm a man that can move a forest. i'm song sam dong. this was my appearance one year ago. this was my appearance not too long ago. -a little bit preppy, right? and the present me? looks just like this! my future potential...that's something i don't know. even though i'm not able to speak 3 languages, -i can speak two languages; the saturi dialect and the seoul dialect. now, i will demonstrate for you. hello, i am song sam dong. everybody, anticipate me! -hey, you. do it slowly. you keep going out of frame. i went out again? yes. -then let's just shoot it again. this is already the 13th take. let's rest for a bit. i'm going. you went out again. -sorry. i... i have a dream. i believe in that dream. hello. -i am go hye mi. what you just saw a moment ago was the go hye mi of one year ago. she has no facial expression and no feeling, right? but now, i have become a new person. i will now sing a song for you. -i really can't do this! okay. we'll just do another take then. hello, everyone. my name is yoon baek hee. -i've also been called miss k. i know that because of the current situation, my image has been a little tainted. therefore, i believe that i want this more than anyone else who is auditioning. although this may be my only asset, and being called miss k at the moment is a problem, one day i will make k into a worldwide representative of south korea. i strive for this. -please, everyone, anticipate this. what is this? this is a sample of the screen test we're going to be giving to a music company. however, it's still not completely finished. why did you show this to me? -there are only 6 people from our school who are participating in this. do you know why? it's because the company put forth completely unreasonable demands. they asked the students to show their potential in a short music video. they must speak 3 languages and create their own composition. -they also must have placed in at least 10 different competitions. wah...these are seriously unreasonable demands. therefore, everybody just gave up because they have not met the requirements. thus, it was only these 6 people who took on the challenge. it's seems so sudden, right? -but really, aren't they just using their tenacity to go for the gold? of course, the children aren't perfect, but i believe they can attain perfection in the future. actually, in order to make up for their own deficiencies, they will be working even harder, just as president ma and i have always been doing. you've done it again. again! -again i've been lured in by that golden tongue of yours. go draw up the contract. yes. you definitely won't regret it! that's really... -"miss k has fallen". as a victim, she has suffered much humiliation, but no company will accept her. teacher shi! what? my head hurts. -please speak softer. baek hee, jin guk, and sam dong will debut through white entertainment. what? oh hyuk, that brat, convinced president ma. really? -really, really? that's right. i heard it with my own ears. where is teacher kang? what? -how about the lecture room? fine. yes, president ma. the contract that you sent over has been reviewed. but -jason is also interested in white entertainment. what's your point of view? good. that will do. yes. -teacher kang! teacher kang! i am so happy! i am very happy! hey, kyung jin...no! -this is no good. it's already over. hello? this is kang oh sun and kang oh hyuk's residence. hello, is this hye seong? -dad? ! teacher yang... is anything the matter? haven't you heard the story? -what? both sam dong and jin guk can make a debut under white entertainment company. really? it was oh hyuk who convinced president ma. that's great. -that's great. is that right? who are you going to meet there? what do you mean by who? of course it is... -who is certainly "who"? jin guk or sam dong? of course it's... all exactly the same. how will you know that you like a certain someone? i always think about him. -when i'm happy, i think about him first. when i'm sad, i also think about him first. if i can be by his side forever, it's good enough. it's just this feeling. ah, what can we do about it? -what should i do? i might be crazy. = next episode preview =- i know hye mi and hye seong have been imposing on you all this time. this is my particularly grateful expression. -why are you only coming back now? why now? your dad has made a fresh start and we're going to the us. the united states? the united states. -please sleep here. please sleep here. i know that she will attend julliard. do you really want to study abroad? ah, yes. -of course, that's my real dream. hye mi, can't you not go? can't you stay? ah, but for me, it was a very happy time. i remember that time. -we must remember that i... teacher! hye mi's dad disappeared! hye mi's not here either! they ran away last night? -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad i know you're the athena's spy in nts. nts must've found out by now that hae in is an athena. you don't really know? know what? -why she suddenly disappeared? what dr. kim myung guk left behind is... the information on north korea's nuclear weapons. ahjussi. ahjussi! your girlfriend is passed out here! -i'm sorry that i abandoned your faith. we have a message. it's from yoon hae in. if she can't straighten her mind herself, then your decision would be unforgivable. i'm just trying to light the fuse... -the fight will be between north and south korea. we detected a designated frequency that's being used for a wireless tap. sir, don't do this! dad! chief han jeong pil has been arrested. -i will take care of lee jung woo. episode 14 dad! why are you doing this? kay. -take care of han jeong pil. dad! dad! find the sniper! find the sniper! -jae hee! jae hee! are you okay? dad is... drop your weapon! -get in the car! leave us. in japan, you wanted to save that bastard. you ran into the warehouse that was about to blow up. that was the first time i learned... that you were into him. -you were ordered to kill him. but you came back from a sweet time with him as if he was your boyfriend. it pained me but i tolerated it. and... it was more painful than death to admit that you had deep feelings for him, so i forgave you again and again. -but... now you're betraying this group for him. what do you think i should do? what more do you think i should do for you? i will no longer tolerate or forgive. -keep that in mind. oppa. let me go now. oppa. can i join your group? -no, you can't. why not? it's a tough place. there are easier jobs you can take. why not go for them? -i'm done with school next year. besides, i'd like it if i can be with you. i'd like it if i can be with you too. but you can't. why not? -when he called me "yu jin"... i thought i was having a heart attack. not because i was scared to be exposed. who i am, who i was... and what i've forgotten all this time... -they all came back to me. i don't know since when, but we've both forgotten "yu jin" is my name. probably because deep down inside, we knew what it meant to live as athenas. oppa. -let's stop now. let's stop here while we still have room to go back. if i stop here... i won't gain anything but become merely a horrible monster who ruined your life. until i recover what i lost and can call you yu jin again... -i can't ever stop. so please... don't make this difficult for me. hae in? what kind of nightmare is it to torture you like that? -it's always the same dream. the horrendous time i was surrounded by fire. but, just like then... in my dream, i've always been saved from the pain and fire. this time... no one came. -chief han jeong pil's body is now at nts for autopsy. we're looking for suspects, but nothing useful has turned up yet. the truth is, we were on a secret mission to arrest and transfer him. we suspect it was athena that got the intel and intercepted. we will continue our investigation on him and identify athenas. -i have a painful experience of having someone untrustworthy on my staff. right now we need to focus on winning bids for nuclear energy product. and i'm concerned that i might have another painful experience like last time. drop your weapon! reporting on suspected snipers. -there was no cctv in the surrounding areas of the scene. no remarkable clue was found. it's difficult to trace anything. but... according to agents at the scene, there were snipers at two different locations. this is athena's first appearance since son hyuk investigation reached a dead end. -there has to be some kind of connection, so focus on that. yes, sir. ah. how's agent han jae hee? she's been alone in the investigation room. -she's in a great shock. i know it's traumatic for you. the first time i met your father was when... he was a field agent for national security planning*. (*intelligence agency in 1981-1999) i asked him why he'd chosen this dangerous line of work. -he then said... he had a daughter, and he wanted to help make a better world for her to grow up in. i remember a beaming smile on his face. seeing your father's expression, his eyes told me that he meant it. without a doubt, the current circumstance is a shock to me... although not as bad as what you're going through. i'm sorry. -let's do this. until this is over, take your days off. it's okay, sir. i'm fine, sir. i never got to hear what he had to say. -why he chose to be what he was now. how he got involved with athena. i would like to... find the answer myself. can i... have a minute with him? yeah, sure. -dad... wait. i heard you were hurt in italy. are you okay? i see in your eyes how resentful you are. -but i don't think i made a wrong judgment. you will understand when you have your own child. i won't love anyone again. so there won't be a child either. what was i supposed to do if you killed yourself like that? -it's not too late to confess all that you've done. so that i won't be in any pain when i think of you. so that i can hate you for the rest of my life. jae hee. i am sorry. -jae hee. i am sorry. about your father's death... i'm responsible. what are you saying? -how can you be responsible? the one who shot your father is yoon hae in. i knew she was an athena. but i couldn't arrest her. i didn't arrest her. -i wanted to give her... a chance to turn herself in. but i didn't know... it could lead to this. i'm so sorry. this is just absurd... that you're apologizing for this. -it wasn't your fault that hae in showed up. but you're apologizing. what is it that you're doing here? i really... resent you. what i wanted to hear from you was... not an apology... but just an excuse. -president jo plans to have a secret meeting with saudi arabian negotiation committee. he will be traveling with minimal security staff. are we targeting them while they're on the move? considering the points of attack, we will work in four teams. they are exit, support, control, and communications. -we have 5 minutes from i.d. to attack. do you think that's a plausible plan? we could jam their communication line, but we'll be close to a local army base. it won't take them more than 5 minutes to detect our move and dispatch their force. if we can't get it done in 5 minutes, we won't be able to leave the scene. -status report on uav* and jamming equipment? (*unmanned automated vehicle) jamming boxes are ready. it won't interfere our communication frequency. uav will be ready to meet our needs. -team captain, survey the area in advance and thoroughly. make sure there will be no loose gravel. dismissed. our report doesn't show a possibility... that son hyuk left the country or attempted to do so. the timing of chief han jeong pil's arrest and assassination yield a conclusion... that he is still in korea. -judging by what we have so far, he seems to have considerable armed support. athena must have a reason to have him escape. if son hyuk is still in korea, he must be planning something major here. we need to find what it is and quickly. state guest house for north korean special envoy -we sent a detailed report to dear leader... about the nuclear energy plant tour you took us to. what was his response? he said, if it can lift burdens off his people's shoulder... he would like to consider it proactively. i'm glad. -he also asked that whatever it is that south koreans want... we'll find a way to work together and co-exist. president jo will be very happy to hear this, as well. i'm sure he will. yes, sir. that's what he said. -but considering his pattern of behavior and reaction before... he appears to have a hidden agenda. yes, i will report in detail when i get back to the office. on the day of operation and right on time... four army corps and the navy udt will move in to south korea from the west sea. very well. -i will let you know the exact time line. if you have any other hidden agenda you're not telling us you'll pay the price. keep that in mind. of course, i don't. we share the same enemy. -don't you think? we'll keep in touch. you've worked hard. not a problem. as promised, i will arrange a comfortable subsistence for your mother. -ki soo. yes. i have the last task for you and it is difficult. comrade! sir! -sir! comrade! major general! major general! it's been done. -good job. i'll stay in touch. yes, sir. major general kim ho gyun... he's one of the influential members of the north korean government, but he needs not to be the center of it all. -he puts his personal interests before that of korea. if such a person holds the power standing behind our next dear leader kim jong-un... the future of our country will be grim. this is where uav will take off. we will transfer uav in a container to this location. 10 minutes before our commencement, roads will be blocked and takeoff will be ready. -report on the area survey. situation room and road control have been secured. cheol gyo is surveying points of initial ambush and the route through incheon port. prep works for ambush points are now finished. very well. -hello. what is it? then... have you been exposed? okay. bye. -kim ho gyun died. then... what do we do now? nothing has changed. we'll move on as planned. -yes, sir. how is he? he died on the way to the hospital. inform north korea right away. tell him that we will bring out all the stops to find out what happened. -yes, sir. we must prevent both korea's relationship from going south. if necessary, i will call leader kim myself. understood. we've blocked surrounding roads and investigating the scene. -i'll report the status frequently, sir. north korea must know we have nothing to do with this unfortunate incident, and that we're doing our best to get to the bottom of this. so we must make all our effort swift and transparent. understood, sir. won't you come in? -i'm okay. are you doing okay? i am. and you, andy? i'm much better now. -how is he? he doesn't show it... but i see that he's in pain. i've served with you two for long, but this is something i've never had to deal with. so i don't know what to do. -hang in there just a little longer. the last operation will be over soon. what's the last operation? all the details have been double-checked. have cheol gyu to see me now. -what is it? we need to take care of someone now. hurry up on your autopsy and see if you can find any lead on his body. look into his belongings too. sure. -but are you okay? i'm okay. jung woo, were you hurt? no. i'm okay. -take this to the i and a. have it analyzed for me. what is it? it's a phone memory card that belonged to the perpetrator. it has something that looks like a map. a map? -tell them to find out what area the map shows. okay. and lee jung woo? i'm sorry, sir. get out. -yes, sir. saudi's negotiation committee will arrive soon. you need to head out now. very well. any word from north korea? -not yet, sir. they broadcasted their sharp criticism, but that's about it. so far, they refused to have a talk with us. it's something no one foresaw. they must be confused too, looking for an appropriate reaction to take. -what is the progress on the investigation to find the sniper? we still haven't found a solid lead. could the group athena have something to do with this incidence again? i understand that the meeting with saudi requires confidentiality, but with the recent chief han jeong pil incidence... i don't feel safe about you having minimal security only. -we worked hard to make this negotiation materialize. we're in a difficult position to have north korea's support of nuclear energy project. hence, we must lead the negotiation today to a success. understood. commence the operation. -yes, sir. it's time. transmit message to ambush points and get ready to take off. yes, sir. got good words for me? -the map you found in the perpetrator's body, it is a portion of a building alright. and? it's too limited to a small area. we can't identify the building itself. we just started running the matching algorithm. -throughout the country, we have more than 20 buildings with 90% match or higher. jung woo, take a look at this. this is the perpetrator's mobile phone. it had i-plus app for incheon port. incheon port? -yeah. these days, all the businesses at the port is done with this app. was there an access record? we should be able to locate the pier number. do whatever you can to narrow it down. -let's go. go where? incheon port. what are all these? what my father left behind. -i too served with your father before. i don't understand how this could happen. can you take a look at this for me? what is it? what do you think it is? -isn't this gps coordinates? 37.5120 for x and 127.4459 for y coordinates. don't move. who's in charge here? i'm the chief operator of incheon bridge. -what do you want? start setting it up. excuse me. yes? what type of stuff do you load and unload here? -heavy equipment. i don't think we can go any further with this lead. what do we do now? hello. you know that map... -cross-reference it with the incheon bridge's blueprints in its entirety. incheon bridge? yes, incheon bridge. how's uav controller setup? ten more minutes, sir. -jamming system? ready, sir. remember we have five minutes from start to withdraw. yes, sir. the target is approaching. -three minutes to count down. get ready. the meeting concluded and the president is now heading toward songdo. thanks. ma'am. -we have cops walking in. yes, sir. how can i help you? go. you were right. -the map matches with a portion of incheon bridge. got it. hurry and head toward incheon bridge. okay. we've secured ambush point. -something's not right. what's not right? there's no car coming from the opposite lane. take a look at it again? what is that? -isn't that the presidential entourage? it's me. code 1 entourage is moving toward incheon bridge. did you know about it? no. -we haven't been informed. what? what is it? your meal, ma'am. hello. -everything is okay. yes, sir. hold there. i need to use your phone. you can't call anyone out of here. -hang in there just a little longer. the last operation will be over soon. what's the last operation? south korean president's assassination. turn the car around. -huh? turn it around! okay. shout out the terrorism code red on presidential entourage! president's being targeted by son hyuk! -director! son hyuk's target is president jo. are you sure? what's wrong? there's a possibility that terrorists are after you, sir. -we will now leave this location at once. let the leading vehicles know. cover my back. freeze! commence the jamming. -did you get a hold of presidential security? the connection got cut off somehow. we can't reach them. and lee jung woo? the same. -i think someone's jamming the communication lines. all channels are... alert the presidential security at once. declare martial law in the area. yes, sir. -dispatch all field agents and srt. yes, sir. activate weather satellites. yes, sir. terrorists? -understood. call the chief of presidential security. convene all the chiefs to the meeting. locate the president. connect to satellites. -ambush team. 1 minute to count down. we have a car that moved on to the bridge. bring up that car on the screen. i will go. no. -you will take over here. sir? i will go myself. withdraw when the operation is accomplished. yes, sir. -come with me. lines are jammed. the attack will be on the bridge. floor it! don't worry, sir. -we will soon be out of the danger zone. zoom in to the car that just got hit. see who were in that car. are you okay, sir? sir! -guard him. yes, sir. the president is in vehicle number 1. don't let them close in. drop the missile on vehicle 1. -locking in on the target. joon ho, cover me! 1, 2, 3! joon ho! where's the helicopter now? -two minutes away from the scene. and the presidential security? four minutes away from the scene. hyung, are you okay? drop the missile again. -it's not working. the controller must've been hit in the cross fire. drive uav into vehicle 1! freeze! open it! -is he okay? president isn't hurt. all in situation room, withdraw. withdraw now. pack things up. -withdraw. i can't help but think that i will hate you for the rest of my life. we are the worst-fated possible. i don't even care to hate you. it just hurts me to see yoon hae in and her life that you ruined. -shut your hole. you're not even worthy of pitying her. and she's my responsibility. she's my everything... and my heart. your heart without a soul! -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad main translator: g.anon timer: julier editor/qc: -pttat coordinators: mily2, ay_link athena must be uprooted and taken care of. yoon hae in is an athena? yes! -why are you constantly doing crazy things like this? why? why? ! but depending on what you do, you could kill a lot of people, or your one word could save a lot of people. -i'll comply with the nts what if he lost someone to remain loyal to? what athena's next plans are, i'll tell you everything. watch dramas legally at dramafever. com | crunchyroll. com previously on castle... -b. how can you not know the man you're sharing a bed with is a terrorist? i swear to you. i don't know. jamal and amir are not terrorists. you're chasing the wrong guy. -let's just talk about something else. how's josh? he's gone. he's always gone. fariq yusef. -syrian consulate. at your service. as events unfold, you may find yourself in need of a man with my skills. what if amir suspected another driver? so the last two places amir was, and kevin mccann has been to both of them? -we got a location on the truck. we at least have to go see why this warehouse area is so popular. open her up! the bomb was not in the truck. no, sir. -that's negative. the bomb was not in the truck. we have rad crews on the ground now. yes, sir. i'll keep you apprised. -keep the perimeter at a 3-block radius. and keep the press the hell outta here. we don't need a panic on our hands, all right? sir, radiation teams have finished sweeping the immediate area... negative across the board. -if they moved the device, it's not nearby. it makes no sense. why would they move it? it's a rodeo clown. rodeo clown? -the truck... it's a diversion. jamal must have sensed we were closing in. he gave us something to chase, throw us off the target. he's playing us. -so we're back to square one? we gotta find jamal. move in on his employees. shake the trees. somebody's gotta know something. -you think fallon knows he's chasing a dead man? no. and he won't know unless we get out of here. think they're coming back? why would they? -for jamal. why else would they keep his body on ice? whoever's behind this wanted to preserve his body for some reason. i'm thinking... they wanted his body in that van with the bomb. -that way, when the bomb goes off... they'd have his remains and his d.n.a. at the crime scene. people would think that he was the terrorist. right. and then the real terrorists would get away scot-free. -okay, so then the question is, why? what is their agenda? we're not gonna find out in here. well, castle, thank you for stating the obvious. you got anything? -no, no. no thermostat, no control box. must be on the outside. got any bars on your phone? uh... -no. wait, wait, wait. no. you? no. -how cold do you think it is in here? um, judging by the way that it feels, i'd say it's well below freezing. how long do you think we're gonna last dressed like this? a couple of hours at the most. -that's what i thought, too. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. that door is made of steel. i don't... i don't think that's gonna do anything. -castle, nobody knows that we're in here. nobody even knows to look for us. we're gonna freeze to death if we don't get outta here. well, maybe there's another way out. right. -uh... on three? yeah. one. two. three. -okay, again. one. two. two. three. -again. one. two. three. we didn't have to come back. -i was fine, you know. fine? i could literally feel your anxiety level rising the further we got from the city. a spiritual retreat is supposed to be spiritual, darling, not stressful. we'll do it another time when you don't have a test hanging over you. -although i could've written you a brilliant excuse. i used to write the best ones for your father... circus accidents, apartment... fires. movie night? i don't know. -he has the projector up, but... huh. he's not here. well, maybe he's out, as in... yes. -ew. but he always calls when he's out or leaves a note. well, he figured we were gone, so why bother? it's late, darling. come on. -we'll ask him in the morning. oh. castle, that's not good. no, it's not. all right. -stand back. mm. what are you gonna do? just stand back. oh, whoa. -whoa! whoa! whoa! whoa! whoa! -whoa! whoa! are you trying to kill us sooner? do you have a better idea? maybe just save a few rounds in case they come back. -castle... i could use a silver lining right about now, okay? yeah. um... i wish i had one. -this doesn't make any sense. what, bro? these guys that work for jamal's moving company, they are middle eastern, but most of 'em are citizens born here in the states. aside from a couple of traffic violations, their records are clean. maybe that's why they were recruited. -now you're starting to sound like fallon. you know, maybe castle was right. maybe there is something else going on here. ryan. you get anything? -nothing so far. they claim to not know anything about jamal's whereabouts or his activities. and the ones that are lawyering up are accusing us of racial profiling. they're not wrong. you okay? -compared to a nuke, a dirty bomb is a fairly crude device. it's designed to instill fear in the populace. the majority of the immediate damage is gonna come from the conventional explosion, creating a kill zone. like oklahoma city. except for it's not just a building that falls. -it spreads radiation for several blocks. that's your secondary kill zone. if left untreated, people can die from radiation poisoning in less than a week. but what makes this such an effective terror weapon is the outer zone. now in this area, everybody seems fine at first. -then the cancers start showing up... babies, kids, adults. and with every new case that's reported, people flock to the emergency rooms, overwhelm the system. it's like we're being attacked all over again. look, if we can't find the bomb, maybe we can find the target. pull everybody you got. -give me a list of every significant event going on in the city for the next 48 hours... anyplace were people might gather in large numbers. this is new york city. there are a hundred events going on every day we have to narrow it down. focus on anything political or government related. -are there any sporting events going on? what's happening at the u.n.? maybe there's a reason they're choosing to strike now. sir, can i speak with you alone? excuse us. -so what's wrong? i just got off the phone with castle's daughter. apparently, he hasn't come home, and she hasn't been able to reach him on his cell. so? castle got kicked off the task force. -why isn't he at home? how should i know? well, beckett's not answering her phone either. we thought, given their history, that... -we thought the two of them might have got on to something. you two do realize that a terrorist cell is threatening to strike and thousands of lives may be at risk? yes, sir. but... what do you want me to do, send out a search party because your pals aren't answering their cell phones in the middle of the night? -for all i know, they could be out having a cold one. captain... i appreciate your concern, and i'm sure they appreciate your concern, but they can take care of themselves. besides, we have a terrorist to find. yes, sir. -yes, sir. mm. castle. are you there? yeah, yeah. -no, i'm... i'm right... i'm right here. i can't feel anything. oh. -i always thought... being a cop, i'd take a bullet. i never thought i'd freeze to death. hey. w-w-we're not dead yet. -i just wish this was one of your books. then you could rewrite the ending. mm. i'm s... i'm sorry. -for what? fo-for being me... mm. for going rogue, getting you into... into this. -if we hadn't gone on our own... oh, shh. shh. castle, no. okay? -shh. shh. you were right. we found the bomb. we were just too late. -okay? castle. yeah. thank you for being there. always. -i just want you to know how much i... hey, kate. stay with me. kate? shh. -shh. stay with me. easy, pal. beckett. where is she? -sir, i'm gonna need you to calm down. where is she? she's gonna be fine. you're both fine. got to you just in time. -josh? hey. so you're recovering from a moderate case of hypothermia. and you're gonna be a little bit sluggish for a while, but with some warmth and some fluids, you should be all right. what... -i thought you were in haiti. mm-hmm. didn't go. this is gonna hurt. okay. -let's see if we can't get you to sit up. all right? move slow. there you go. how long was i out? -uh, i don't know. about an hour? the bomb. we searched the entire warehouse. it's gone. -how'd you find us? oh, alexis called. said you didn't come home. alexis? she's supposed to be out of town. -i guess she came back. we figured you were with beckett until josh called. we thought you must be out there doing something incredibly stupid against orders, so we sent patrol units everywhere we figured you'd be moronic enough to go. found beckett's car, searched the area till we found the light from the storage container. well, i'm glad my stupidity is predictable. -you pulled us outta there? thanks. so your boy's back in town. mm-hmm. he came back. -so what does that mean to you? it means we have a chance. come on. fallon wants to debrief. think he's ready to believe us? -n.e.s.t. confirms high levels of residual radiation along with a military-grade semtex. there's no question that device was here. i'll have my team pull surveillance tape on every camera within a quarter-mile of here. sounds good. i'll catch up to you. -beckett. sir. you two. are you always this stubborn and insubordinate? only when we're trying to save the world. -i'd be more impressed if you succeeded. how did you know to come here? security cameras in amir's cab. we think that he was keeping tabs on one of his drivers... kevin mccann. -we pulled mccann's route records. turns out he visited that storage facility in washington heights where the radioactive material was being kept and this warehouse long before amir did. mccann was here before him? yeah, it looks like amir was following mccann, trying to figure out what he was up to until he was caught and killed. and with amir, their intended patsy dead, we think they were trying to implicate his cousin jamal as the bomber. -that's why they were keeping his body on ice. did you see any other members of the cell here? no, it was dark. and they were shooting. but we do know that the bomb is housed in a white commercial van with a rear and side passenger door. -a white van in new york city? well, that narrows it down. we saw the counter. it's set to go off at 4:00 today. that's less than ten hours from now. -all right. i'll put up checkpoints. but it's already in the city. look, i know all the evidence points to amir and jamal, but something bigger is going on here, and kevin mccann is involved. got it. -yo. that was a taxi company. mccann's supposed to be on shift right now, but he didn't show up and he's not answering his phone. did you get an address? d.m.v. lists an apartment off jerome avenue in the bronx. -all right. get a team together. go up there and get him. agent fallon? yeah? -given the circumstances, we'd like to request to be reinstated on the task force. well, that's not up to me. it'll be up to your doctor, isn't it? you know, it's funny. when i first met you two, i thought you were together. -oh. no, just... just friends. get cleaned up. we got a long day ahead of us. oh, richard, darling. -oh, are you all right? are you using that blanket? oh, no. i'm gonna give it to you. oh, you poor baby. -you look like death warmed over. if someone tries to sell you on cryogenics, say no. i knew you wouldn't turn your phone off without leaving me a message. now is this about the cab driver? look, i need you girls to do something for me. -but i don't want you to ask any questions. i want you to go the hamptons. i want you to stay there for the weekend. richard, what is this about? see, that...that's a question. -look, there might be a... an event... that will make it very dangerous to stay in the city. what are you doing? calling ashley. -no, no, no, no. you can't tell anybody. okay? you can't tell anybody. you tell ashley, he'll tell his parents, they'll call someone they love, and... -a panic will make this thing a thousand times harder to stop. dad, he's my boyfriend. i know. this isn't fair. you can't... -fair has nothing to do with it. i need you to go. now. but you'll come too? i will when i can. -but i need you to go. now. okay. figured you could use the caffeine and the warmth. thank you. -are you okay? yeah. no. i'm... you ever wonder about fallon? -i mean, what this must be like for him, living this every day? i told alexis and my mother to get out of town. i didn't tell them why, but they knew. they wanted to tell their friends, and i told them they couldn't. i felt like a monster. -i mean, that must be some kind of hell... feeling that all the time. kinda makes you wonder how many times this has happened since 9/11 and we were the ones who didn't know. beckett. yeah, the mccann address is a dead end. -korean family lives here. been living here for the past four years. did you search the place? yeah, didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. but we did talk to a longtime neighbor, and they said the mccann family lived here, but it was over a decade ago. -she seems to recall something about them having a son named kevin, and he went in the military. kevin mccann... army special forces, recipient of two purple hearts and the distinguished service medal during his six tours in afghanistan. six tours? military is stretched pretty thin these days. -doesn't make any sense. what's a war hero doing mixed up in a terrorist plot? don't look at me, pal. it's your theory. do they have an address listed? -arlington, virginia. kevin mccann... the real kevin mccann... died a couple of years back at a v.a. hospital from complications of wounds he suffered during combat ops. buried at arlington with full honors. so someone stole his identity. -he could be anyone, including a foreign agent. run this through fbi and cia facial recognition databases all the way up to interpol. i want to know everything i can about this guy. all right, so tech tracked the phone that he's been using under the mccann name. patrol units just found it in a dumpster. -been wiped clean. we've got an a.p.b. out on him and we sent copies of his photo to everyone. yo. teams are on their way to the taxi depot and the impound to pull prints from the cabs he drove, but with multiple drivers and passengers, there are gonna be hundreds of prints in each cab. it's gonna take some time. -it's time we don't have. why would he steal mccann's identity? i thought this guy was a crime novelist? i-i am. well, then you should know that sometimes people who operate outside the law will take the social security number of a deceased individual and use it to forge a new identity. -i know. i've done it three times in my books. what i'm saying is, why would he steal kevin mccann's identity? because it was convenient. why was it convenient? -i mean, the money that was deposited into amir's account to implicate him, we tracked it back to afghanistan. mccann served in afghanistan. maybe there's a link. what kind of link? i don't know. -maybe... maybe this guy wasn't just stealing the identity of some random dead guy. maybe... mccann is someone he knew or someone he needed to be. contact the pentagon. -get everything you can on mccann. got it. his family used to live here. are they still around? parents are dead, but he's got a sister in queens. -sorry about the mess. it's just... it's been hard since doug left. sweetie, just go play in your room. so what happened? -my deadbeat ex got arrested again? actually, ms. mccann, we're here about your brother. yeah, i know him. that's radford. radford hayes. -he was in my brother's unit. they were best friends. he assumed your brother's identity. do you have any idea why? no. -how well did you know him? mostly from my brother's letters. they were in the v.a. together. he was there with me when... when kevin died. -in his letters, did he ever display any animosity toward this country? why is he asking me that? there's a possibility that mr. hayes is working with a set of extremists who are plotting against the u.s. no. colleen? -radford took me out for a beer after kevin died, and he was angry... angry at how everyone stopped caring about the war. like it wasn't even happening, angry at the way politicians were treating them, like they were tissue paper, to be used and thrown away. he thought the folks in washington cared more about scoring political points than winning. he said that maybe what this country needed was another wake-up call. -maybe next time, we'd get it right. do you know where we can find him? no. all i have is his cell phone number. his phone's active, but it's old-school. -no native gps. how long before you get a fix on him? i'll need a few minutes to triangulate off the cell towers. do what you gotta do. just don't let him know we're coming. -i can't believe we're chasing one of our own. he's not wrong, you know? used to be, we'd go to war, everybody sacrifices, everybody pitches in. now you don't even see it on the news. i'm not defending him. -i'm just saying, i understand the anger. well, amir is the perfect patsy. he has a background in weapons engineering, ties to syria, which is a hotbed for al qaeda recruiting. i mean, it has terrorist written all over it. and the money from his afghanistan account would've had people believing -taliban was involved. we're so programmed by fear. people are gonna believe exactly what radford wants us to believe... that we were attacked again... and then they're gonna cry out for blood. in less than four hours. -if we can't stop it, shouldn't we tell people? tell 'em what, that a dirty bomb is gonna go off somewhere in manhattan? you know the kind of panic that would create? no. our only hope is to stop this thing. -let's just hope that we can. we got him. let's roll. hayes! get down! -get down! get down! get down! now! on your knees! -on your knees! interlock your fingers behind your head! yeah. tell me where it is. where's the bomb? -where is it? where's the bomb? this guy makes me sick. he swore an oath to defend this country. in his mind, he's a patriot. -yeah, like tim mcveigh. ryan, contact d.o.d. see if you can get 20s on the guys he served with in afghanistan. see if any of 'em are blowin' in the wind. you ready? -yeah. we break him, no matter what. got it. look, i know you're angry, and i understand. but what you're doing, what you're involved with... -it's not the way. radford, you're a soldier. the people in this city are not your enemies. i have no idea what you're talking about. look, we know about you going up to the storage facilities in washington heights and the warehouse. -what about it? well, we know that there was nuclear material in the storage facility, the bomb was assembled in the warehouse, so don't insult us and tell us you don't know anything about it. he's wasting his time. why do you say that? he's special forces. -we're trained for this... never to give up information, never to give up your position if you're captured. they can't break him. not in time. do you see yourself as a... a great hero doing this for a-a mighty cause? -you think that's how people are gonna see you? because i'll tell you right now, brother, if you let this happen, you're gonna go down in history as america's greatest mass murderer. is that what you want? when this bomb goes off, do you think they're gonna be looking at me? people will see this as an act of terrorism so they will be looking for a terrorist, not a patriot, not one of their own. -is that what you think you are, a patriot? there's a word for people like you, and it's not "patriot." it's "traitor." the powers that be have no use for a traitor. so when they find their terrorist, and they will find their terrorist, what do you think will happen to me? -well, let me tell you, because i know them, i know how they think. i will become a footnote in one of your files buried so far back, no one will ever find it, because anything more would be an inconvenience to their self-serving, rabble-rousing narrative. so why don't you do us all a favor and just accept the inevitable? you think this is a joke? -you think i'm playing with you? ! where's the bomb? ! where's the bomb? -! fallon, no! where is it? where's the target, radford? lower your weapon, fallon. -where's the target? fallon! lower your weapon now! not until he tells me what i want to hear. where is it? -! lower your weapon! you ready to go all the way? huh? i'm prepared to die for my country. -are you? put down your weapon now. hey. i got that. thank you. -he wasn't gonna break, you know? if i had a couple of days, maybe a week, but not in three hours. we needed him to break. i saw an opening. i took it. -you violated his rights. i can think of probably a dozen federal lawyers that would disagree with that. he was never in any real danger. i removed the bullets from my clip. my gun wasn't even loaded. -well, mine was. yeah. well, i was pretty sure you weren't gonna shoot me. you know, next time, i wouldn't be so sure. -detective, i understand that you probably hate me. you have every right to, both of you. but my job isn't to make friends. it's to stop bad things from happening. and seeing as how we're just a couple of hours away from a major terrorist event and we are basically back at square one... -i could really use your help. yes, sir. man, does that guy take jackhole lessons or was he born that way? neither. i asked my buddy at d.h.s. about him. -turns out his wife was killed on 9/11. she rode the second tower down. they were on the phone together when it happened. he's right. if we don't get radford to talk, we're dead in the water. -maybe not. okay, i need backpack detectors spread out to the ten most likely targets. get the n.e.s.t. teams ready. go. where are we on jamal and amir's coconspirators? -coconspirators? why? we know that they're patsies. remember what radford said about the bomb going off? he said we will find our terrorist. -but with jamal and amir out of the picture... they're gonna try to pin it on someone else. somebody related to them both. all right. get locations on all known associates of amir and jamal alhabi. -i don't care if we've dismissed 'em before. anybody of middle-eastern origin or descent. nazihah, amir's wife, find her, track her down. see if she'll cooperate. she trusts you. -maybe she can help us narrow down the list. on it. beckett. that's fallon's surveillance guy. nazihah. -nazihah! nazihah! she's gone. so is the kid. what? -i found this on the table. "allah akbar. god is great. i go to my glory against the forces of the infidel." she's their new terrorist. -they're gonna have her set off the bomb. but none of them saw the abduction. what about the traffic cams? i got teams out there, but with less than two hours left, there's no time to go through all the footage. where's montgomery? -he's on the phone with one p.p. coordinating city emergency response teams, just in case. mobilize fema with full radiation protocol. have 'em standing by to airlift to the city. yes, sir. we found her phone at the house. -the family car is out in front. so we have no way to trace her. yo. i got something. according to d.o.d., most of the guys in radford's unit are still deployed. -i was able to locate all but two... evan bauer and jack cochran. their families say they've been on a fishing trip since last week. what do we know about them? well, bauer is a weapons specialist, and cochran did a tour in explosive ordinance disposal. -an e.o.d. guy would know how to build a bomb. all right. get a team together. crawl up these guys' asses with a microscope. phone records, financials, anything... -get a location. yeah. what's wrong? we find these guys, you know what we're gonna see? nothing. -these aren't brainwashed radicalized kids on a student visa. this is highly trained military. they're probably reading out of our playbook. we are running out of time. get n.e.s.t. in the air. -yes, sir. maybe we'll get lucky, the ground teams can make a move. there, uh... there might be another way. but, uh... -i don't think you're gonna like it. make the call. it's really very simple. do what we ask, everybody lives. don't do what we ask, everybody dies. -it's as easy as that. you killed my husband. why should i believe you? because i'm afraid you have no other choice. see the van? -all you gotta do is drive it where we said, park it, and walk away. you do that for us, we'll return your baby, and we can all go on with our lives. but you should know, there's a camera on the driver's side. if you do anything stupid, we'll know. nod if you understand. -mr. castle. detective beckett. so good to see you again. and, agent fallon, your reputation precedes you. does the syrian consulate even know you're here? -when we last met, detective beckett, you relieved me of my pistol. i thought now was a good time to retrieve it. mr. yusef, when we last met, you told me it was in your business to stay informed. i find, in my business, it's important to... -keep up with current events. and i'm sure that your country would do everything in its power to avoid a terrible misunderstanding. if somehow amir or his wife nazihah were mistakenly believed to be involved in an act of domestic terrorism. i would say, it's in both our interests. you also mentioned that amir was of special interest to you. -we at the syrian consulate wanted to make sure he liked his new home, so, yes. we checked in with him from time to time. and what about nazihah, did you check in on her? under the circumstances, we thought it would be appropriate to send our condolences. you had her under surveillance, didn't you? -where is she? mr. fallon, the syrian consulate is strictly a diplomatic mission. we're certainly not in the business of spying on u.s. citizens. however... if you were to happen by a red brick industrial building on the corner of 158th street and franklin, -i do not think you'd be wasting your time. now if you'll excuse me, i have an appointment outside the city. that's her baby. the baby's fine. -where's nazihah? guys, over here. camera frame is too tight. we can't tell where she is. no way to get in touch with her, and let her know her baby's all right. -well, i guess it's all up to him. he knows we're on a deadline, right? yeah, he knows. i mean a literal deadline. as in, you go over the line, you're dead. -castle, can you just give him a chance? i-i'm happy to give him anything he needs. it's the clock that's not cooperating. alert all units. target is in a black van. -repeat, a black van. they left for times square ten minutes ago. how'd you get 'em to talk? i lied. i told 'em radford cut a deal implicating them both. -i want checkpoints and barricades in times square. get choppers in the air. find that van. if she just left ten minutes ago, there's a chance we can catch her before she gets there. take broadway or riverside. -we got broadway. you should not have taken broadway. it's the most direct route to midtown. yeah, but it's not the fastest. we should cut over to... -castle, will you please stop telling me how to drive? i'm not telling you how to drive... you are telling me how to drive. nazihah's husband was a cabbie. so? -so broadway slows down in the 70s through midtown. she would know that the fastest way is west end to 11th and then cut crosstown on 48th. okay, why 48th and not 46th? because 46th has construction on it. turn here. -all units, this is 23. we are tracking a black van southbound on broadway passing 72nd. i repeat, southbound on broadway, passing 72nd. broadway. i, uh... -i'm turning around. no, no, don't turn around. it's the wrong van. castle, how do you know? there! -there! there! there! there! there! -there! it's her. pull over! nazihah, pull over! please, no. -they have my baby. nazihah, no. we've got her. she's okay. she's o... -beckett. dispatch, this is 1 lincoln 40. we found the bomb on 55th and 11th. 1 lincoln 40, copy. bomb squad is en route. -e.t.a. three minutes. dispatch, that's about two minutes too late. 1 lincoln 40, stand by. fallon. fallon, you have any idea how to defuse a bomb? -one minute. where are you? we're at 55th and 11th. no, i'd... -i'd have to see it. can you send a picture? yeah, yeah. hold on. it's uploading right now. -45 seconds. you got it. yeah, it's opening... it's opening now. fallon? hang on! -30 seconds. fallon! i can't see anything! i'm sorry. i'm sorry. -castle... oh... castle. oh! oh! -yes! no, he... no, you should've seen his face, because he stopped, he looked at me, he grabbed all the wires, and then he just yanked them. all of 'em? i figured one of 'em had to be the right one. -you know, the mayor wants to give you guys a medal. i didn't have the heart to tell him you had no clue what you were doing. thank you. the captain's right. you guys don't know how lucky you are. -actually... i do. could i talk to you two for a second? i just want you two to know the u.s. attorneys office is gonna be charging them with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit terror. and thanks to you two, we won't have to add the murder of innocent new yorkers to that allegation. -well, we were just doing our job. actually, i was doing my job. i don't know what the hell he was doing. hey. but that's true. -listen, um... what i do is not who i am. it's just how i have to be. i hope you both understand that. why don't we just say it was a pleasure and that we hope that we don't have to do it again? -fair enough. i-if it does happen again, though, maybe you could just text me, have a code word. "run." hell of a day, huh? hell of a day. -you know... i was thinking. i was thinking maybe... i should go home, get some rest. long day. -good night. good night. oh, hey. previously on "castle"... i'm mark fallon, department of homeland security. -jamal alhabi. he had his cousin amir fashion a dirty bomb. how can you not know the man you're sharing a bed with is a terrorist? i swear to you. i don't know. -jamal and amir are not terrorists. you're chasing the wrong guy. let's just talk about something else. how's josh? he's gone. -he's always gone. fariq yusef. syrian consulate. at your service. as events unfold, you may find yourself in need -of a man with my skills. what if amir suspected another driver? so the last two places amir was, and kevin mccann has been to both of them? we got a location on the truck. -we at least have to go see why this warehouse area is so popular. open her up! the bomb was not in the truck. no, sir. -that's negative. the bomb was not in the truck. we have rad crews on the ground now. yes, sir. i'll keep you apprised. -keep the perimeter at a 3-block radius. and keep the press the hell outta here. we don't need a panic on our hands, all right? sir, radiation teams have finished sweeping the immediate area... negative across the board. -if they moved the device, it's not nearby. it makes no sense. why would they move it? it's a rodeo clown. rodeo clown? -the truck... it's a diversion. jamal must have sensed we were closing in. he gave us something to chase, throw us off the target. he's playing us. -so we're back to square one? we gotta find jamal. move in on his employees. shake the trees. somebody's gotta know something. -you think fallon knows he's chasing a dead man? no. and he won't know unless we get out of here. think they're coming back? why would they? -for jamal. why else would they keep his body on ice? whoever's behind this per jamal. perche' senno' avrebbero congelato il suo cadavere? -chiunque ci sia dietro a tutto questo they wanted his body in that van with the bomb. that way, when the bomb goes off... they'd have his remains and his d.n.a. at the crime scene. people would think that he was the terrorist. -right. and then the real terrorists would get away scot-free. okay, so then the question is, why? what is their agenda? we're not gonna find out in here. -well, castle, thank you for stating the obvious. you got anything? no, no. no thermostat, no control box. must be on the outside. -got any bars on your phone? uh... no. wait, wait, wait. no. -you? no. how cold do you think it is in here? um, judging by the way that it feels, i'd say it's well below freezing. -how long do you think we're gonna last dressed like this? a couple of hours at the most. that's what i thought, too. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. that door is made of steel. -i don't... i don't think that's gonna do anything. castle, nobody knows that we're in here. nobody even knows to look for us. we're gonna freeze to death if we don't get outta here. -well, maybe there's another way out. right. uh... on three? yeah. one. -two. three. okay, again. one. two. -two. three. again. one. two. -three. we didn't have to come back. i was fine, you know. fine? i could literally feel your anxiety level rising the further we got from the city. -a spiritual retreat is supposed to be spiritual, darling, not stressful. we'll do it another time when you don't have a test hanging over you. although i could've written you a brilliant excuse. i used to write the best ones for your father... circus accidents, apartment... fires. -movie night? i don't know. he has the projector up, but... huh. he's not here. -well, maybe he's out, as in... yes. ew. but he always calls when he's out or leaves a note. well, he figured we were gone, so why bother? -it's late, darling. come on. we'll ask him in the morning. oh. castle, that's not good. -no, it's not. all right. stand back. mm. what are you gonna do? -just stand back. oh, whoa. whoa! whoa! whoa! -whoa! whoa! whoa! whoa! are you trying to kill us sooner? -do you have a better idea? maybe just save a few rounds in case they come back. castle... i could use a silver lining right about now, okay? yeah. -um... i wish i had one. this doesn't make any sense. what, bro? these guys that work for jamal's moving company, they are middle eastern, but most of 'em are citizens born here in the states. -aside from a couple of traffic violations, their records are clean. maybe that's why they were recruited. now you're starting to sound like fallon. you know, maybe castle was right. maybe there is something else going on here. -ryan. you get anything? nothing so far. they claim to not know anything about jamal's whereabouts or his activities. and the ones that are lawyering up are accusing us of racial profiling. -they're not wrong. you okay? compared to a nuke, a dirty bomb is a fairly crude device. it's designed to instill fear in the populace. the majority of the immediate damage is gonna come from the conventional explosion, creating a kill zone. -like oklahoma city. except for it's not just a building that falls. it spreads radiation for several blocks. that's your secondary kill zone. if left untreated, people can die from radiation poisoning in less than a week. -but what makes this such an effective terror weapon is the outer zone. now in this area, everybody seems fine at first. then the cancers start showing up... babies, kids, adults. and with every new case that's reported, people flock to the emergency rooms, overwhelm the system. it's like we're being attacked all over again. -look, if we can't find the bomb, maybe we can find the target. pull everybody you got. give me a list of every significant event going on in the city for the next 48 hours... anyplace were people might gather in large numbers. this is new york city. -there are a hundred events going on every day we have to narrow it down. focus on anything political or government related. are there any sporting events going on? what's happening at the u.n.? maybe there's a reason they're choosing to strike now. -sir, can i speak with you alone? excuse us. so what's wrong? i just got off the phone with castle's daughter. apparently, he hasn't come home, and she hasn't been able to reach him on his cell. -so? castle got kicked off the task force. why isn't he at home? how should i know? well, -beckett's not answering her phone either. we thought, given their history, that... we thought the two of them might have got on to something. you two do realize that a terrorist cell is threatening to strike and thousands of lives may be at risk? yes, sir. -but... what do you want me to do, send out a search party because your pals aren't answering their cell phones in the middle of the night? for all i know, they could be out having a cold one. captain... i appreciate your concern, and i'm sure they appreciate your concern, but they can take care of themselves. -besides, we have a terrorist to find. yes, sir. yes, sir. mm. castle. -are you there? yeah, yeah. no, i'm... i'm right... i'm right here. -i can't feel anything. oh. i always thought... being a cop, i'd take a bullet. i never thought i'd freeze to death. -hey. w-w-we're not dead yet. i just wish this was one of your books. then you could rewrite the ending. mm. -i'm s... i'm sorry. for what? fo-for being me... mm. -for going rogue, getting you into... into this. if we hadn't gone on our own... oh, shh. shh. -castle, no. okay? shh. shh. you were right. -we found the bomb. we were just too late. okay? castle. yeah. -thank you for being there. always. i just want you to know how much i... hey, kate. stay with me. -kate? shh. shh. stay with me. countdown aired at 28-02-2011 -easy, pal. beckett. where is she? sir, i'm gonna need you to calm down. where is she? -she's gonna be fine. you're both fine. got to you just in time. josh? hey. -so you're recovering from a moderate case of hypothermia. and you're gonna be a little bit sluggish for a while, but with some warmth and some fluids, you should be all right. what... i thought you were in haiti. mm-hmm. -didn't go. this is gonna hurt. okay. let's see if we can't get you to sit up. all right? -move slow. there you go. how long was i out? uh, i don't know. about an hour? -the bomb. we searched the entire warehouse. it's gone. how'd you find us? oh, alexis called. -said you didn't come home. alexis? she's supposed to be out of town. i guess she came back. we figured you were with beckett until josh called. -we thought you must be out there doing something incredibly stupid against orders, so we sent patrol units everywhere we figured you'd be moronic enough to go. found beckett's car, searched the area till we found the light from the storage container. well, i'm glad my stupidity is predictable. you pulled us outta there? thanks. -so your boy's back in town. mm-hmm. he came back. so what does that mean to you? it means we have a chance. -come on. fallon wants to debrief. think he's ready to believe us? n.e.s.t. confirms high levels of residual radiation along with a military-grade semtex. there's no question that device was here. -i'll have my team pull surveillance tape on every camera within a quarter-mile of here. sounds good. i'll catch up to you. beckett. sir. -you two. are you always this stubborn and insubordinate? only when we're trying to save the world. i'd be more impressed if you succeeded. how did you know to come here? -security cameras in amir's cab. we think that he was keeping tabs on one of his drivers... kevin mccann. we pulled mccann's route records. turns out he visited that storage facility in washington heights where the radioactive material was being kept and this warehouse long before amir did. -mccann was here before him? yeah, it looks like amir was following mccann, trying to figure out what he was up to until he was caught and killed. and with amir, their intended patsy dead, we think they were trying to implicate his cousin jamal as the bomber. that's why they were keeping his body on ice. did you see any other members of the cell here? -no, it was dark. and they were shooting. but we do know that the bomb is housed in a white commercial van with a rear and side passenger door. a white van in new york city? well, that narrows it down. -we saw the counter. it's set to go off at 4:00 today. that's less than ten hours from now. all right. i'll put up checkpoints. -but it's already in the city. look, i know all the evidence points to amir and jamal, but something bigger is going on here, and kevin mccann is involved. got it. yo. that was a taxi company. -mccann's supposed to be on shift right now, but he didn't show up and he's not answering his phone. did you get an address? d.m.v. lists an apartment off jerome avenue in the bronx. all right. get a team together. -go up there and get him. agent fallon? yeah? given the circumstances, we'd like to request to be reinstated on the task force. well, that's not up to me. -it'll be up to your doctor, isn't it? you know, it's funny. when i first met you two, i thought you were together. oh. no, just... just friends. -get cleaned up. we got a long day ahead of us. oh, richard, darling. oh, are you all right? are you using that blanket? -oh, no. i'm gonna give it to you. oh, you poor baby. you look like death warmed over. if someone tries to sell you on cryogenics, say no. -i knew you wouldn't turn your phone off without leaving me a message. now is this about the cab driver? look, i need you girls to do something for me. but i don't want you to ask any questions. i want you to go the hamptons. -i want you to stay there for the weekend. richard, what is this about? see, that...that's a question. look, there might be a... an event... -that will make it very dangerous to stay in the city. what are you doing? calling ashley. no, no, no, no. you can't tell anybody. -okay? you can't tell anybody. you tell ashley, he'll tell his parents, they'll call someone they love, and... a panic will make this thing a thousand times harder to stop. dad, he's my boyfriend. -i know. this isn't fair. you can't... fair has nothing to do with it. i need you to go. -now. but you'll come too? i will when i can. but i need you to go. now. -okay. figured you could use the caffeine and the warmth. thank you. are you okay? yeah. -no. i'm... you ever wonder about fallon? i mean, what this must be like for him, living this every day? i told alexis and my mother to get out of town. -i didn't tell them why, but they knew. they wanted to tell their friends, and i told them they couldn't. i felt like a monster. i mean, that must be some kind of hell... feeling that all the time. -kinda makes you wonder how many times this has happened since 9/11 and we were the ones who didn't know. beckett. yeah, the mccann address is a dead end. korean family lives here. been living here for the past four years. -did you search the place? yeah, didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. but we did talk to a longtime neighbor, and they said the mccann family lived here, but it was over a decade ago. she seems to recall something about them having a son named kevin, and he went in the military. kevin mccann... -army special forces, recipient of two purple hearts and the distinguished service medal during his six tours in afghanistan. six tours? military is stretched pretty thin these days. doesn't make any sense. what's a war hero doing mixed up in a terrorist plot? -don't look at me, pal. it's your theory. do they have an address listed? arlington, virginia. kevin mccann... the real kevin mccann... -died a couple of years back at a v.a. hospital from complications of wounds he suffered during combat ops. buried at arlington with full honors. so someone stole his identity. he could be anyone, including a foreign agent. run this through fbi and cia facial recognition databases all the way up to interpol. -i want to know everything i can about this guy. all right, so tech tracked the phone that he's been using under the mccann name. patrol units just found it in a dumpster. been wiped clean. we've got an a.p.b. out on him and we sent copies of his photo to everyone. -yo. teams are on their way to the taxi depot and the impound to pull prints from the cabs he drove, but with multiple drivers and passengers, there are gonna be hundreds of prints in each cab. it's gonna take some time. it's time we don't have. why would he steal mccann's identity? -i thought this guy was a crime novelist? i-i am. well, then you should know that sometimes people who operate outside the law will take the social security number of a deceased individual and use it to forge a new identity. i know. i've done it three times in my books. -what i'm saying is, why would he steal kevin mccann's identity? because it was convenient. why was it convenient? i mean, the money that was deposited into amir's account to implicate him, we tracked it back to afghanistan. mccann served in afghanistan. -maybe there's a link. what kind of link? i don't know. maybe... maybe this guy wasn't just stealing the identity of some random dead guy. -maybe... mccann is someone he knew or someone he needed to be. contact the pentagon. get everything you can on mccann. got it. -his family used to live here. are they still around? parents are dead, but he's got a sister in queens. sorry about the mess. it's just... -it's been hard since doug left. sweetie, just go play in your room. so what happened? my deadbeat ex got arrested again? actually, ms. mccann, we're here about your brother. -yeah, i know him. that's radford. radford hayes. he was in my brother's unit. they were best friends. -he assumed your brother's identity. do you have any idea why? no. how well did you know him? mostly from my brother's letters. -they were in the v.a. together. he was there with me when... when kevin died. in his letters, did he ever display any animosity toward this country? why is he asking me that? -there's a possibility that mr. hayes is working with a set of extremists who are plotting against the u.s. no. colleen? radford took me out for a beer after kevin died, and he was angry... angry at how everyone stopped caring about the war. -like it wasn't even happening, angry at the way politicians were treating them, like they were tissue paper, to be used and thrown away. he thought the folks in washington cared more about scoring political points than winning. he said that maybe what this country needed was another wake-up call. maybe next time, we'd get it right. do you know where we can find him? -no. all i have is his cell phone number. his phone's active, but it's old-school. no native gps. how long before you get a fix on him? -i'll need a few minutes to triangulate off the cell towers. do what you gotta do. just don't let him know we're coming. i can't believe we're chasing one of our own. he's not wrong, you know? -used to be, we'd go to war, everybody sacrifices, everybody pitches in. now you don't even see it on the news. i'm not defending him. i'm just saying, i understand the anger. well, amir is the perfect patsy. -he has a background in weapons engineering, ties to syria, which is a hotbed for al qaeda recruiting. i mean, it has terrorist written all over it. and the money from his afghanistan account would've had people believing taliban was involved. we're so programmed by fear. -people are gonna believe exactly what radford wants us to believe... that we were attacked again... and then they're gonna cry out for blood. in less than four hours. if we can't stop it, shouldn't we tell people? tell 'em what, that a dirty bomb is gonna go off somewhere in manhattan? -you know the kind of panic that would create? no. our only hope is to stop this thing. let's just hope that we can. we got him. -let's roll. hayes! get down! get down! get down! -get down! now! on your knees! on your knees! interlock your fingers behind your head! -yeah. tell me where it is. where's the bomb? where is it? where's the bomb? -this guy makes me sick. he swore an oath to defend this country. in his mind, he's a patriot. yeah, like tim mcveigh. ryan, contact d.o.d. -see if you can get 20s on the guys he served with in afghanistan. see if any of 'em are blowin' in the wind. you ready? yeah. we break him, no matter what. -got it. look, i know you're angry, and i understand. but what you're doing, what you're involved with... it's not the way. radford, you're a soldier. -the people in this city are not your enemies. i have no idea what you're talking about. look, we know about you going up to the storage facilities in washington heights and the warehouse. what about it? well, we know that there was nuclear material in the storage facility, the bomb was assembled in the warehouse, so don't insult us and tell us you don't know anything about it. -he's wasting his time. why do you say that? he's special forces. we're trained for this... never to give up information, never to give up your position if you're captured. -they can't break him. not in time. do you see yourself as a... a great hero doing this for a-a mighty cause? you think that's how people are gonna see you? because i'll tell you right now, brother, if you let this happen, you're gonna go down in history as america's greatest mass murderer. -is that what you want? when this bomb goes off, do you think they're gonna be looking at me? people will see this as an act of terrorism so they will be looking for a terrorist, not a patriot, not one of their own. is that what you think you are, a patriot? there's a word for people like you, and it's not "patriot." -it's "traitor." the powers that be have no use for a traitor. so when they find their terrorist, and they will find their terrorist, what do you think will happen to me? well, let me tell you, because i know them, i know how they think. -i will become a footnote in one of your files buried so far back, no one will ever find it, because anything more would be an inconvenience to their self-serving, rabble-rousing narrative. so why don't you do us all a favor and just accept the inevitable? you think this is a joke? you think i'm playing with you? ! -where's the bomb? ! where's the bomb? ! fallon, no! -where is it? where's the target, radford? lower your weapon, fallon. where's the target? fallon! -lower your weapon now! not until he tells me what i want to hear. where is it? ! lower your weapon! -you ready to go all the way? huh? i'm prepared to die for my country. are you? put down your weapon now. -hey. i got that. thank you. he wasn't gonna break, you know? if i had a couple of days, maybe a week, but not in three hours. -we needed him to break. i saw an opening. i took it. you violated his rights. i can think of probably a dozen federal lawyers that would disagree with that. -he was never in any real danger. i removed the bullets from my clip. my gun wasn't even loaded. well, mine was. yeah. -well, i was pretty sure you weren't gonna shoot me. you know, next time, i wouldn't be so sure. detective, i understand that you probably hate me. you have every right to, both of you. -but my job isn't to make friends. it's to stop bad things from happening. and seeing as how we're just a couple of hours away from a major terrorist event and we are basically back at square one... i could really use your help. yes, sir. -man, does that guy take jackhole lessons or was he born that way? neither. i asked my buddy at d.h.s. about him. turns out his wife was killed on 9/11. she rode the second tower down. -they were on the phone together when it happened. he's right. if we don't get radford to talk, we're dead in the water. maybe not. okay, i need backpack detectors spread out to the ten most likely targets. -get the n.e.s.t. teams ready. go. where are we on jamal and amir's coconspirators? coconspirators? why? -we know that they're patsies. remember what radford said about the bomb going off? he said we will find our terrorist. but with jamal and amir out of the picture... they're gonna try to pin it on someone else. -somebody related to them both. all right. get locations on all known associates of amir and jamal alhabi. i don't care if we've dismissed 'em before. anybody of middle-eastern origin or descent. -nazihah, amir's wife, find her, track her down. see if she'll cooperate. she trusts you. maybe she can help us narrow down the list. on it. -beckett. that's fallon's surveillance guy. nazihah. nazihah! nazihah! -she's gone. so is the kid. what? i found this on the table. "allah akbar. -god is great. i go to my glory against the forces of the infidel." she's their new terrorist. they're gonna have her set off the bomb. uniforms are canvassing neighbors, but none of them saw the abduction. -what about the traffic cams? i got teams out there, but with less than two hours left, there's no time to go through all the footage. where's montgomery? he's on the phone with one p.p. coordinating city emergency response teams, just in case. mobilize fema with full radiation protocol. -have 'em standing by to airlift to the city. yes, sir. we found her phone at the house. the family car is out in front. so we have no way to trace her. -yo. i got something. according to d.o.d., most of the guys in radford's unit are still deployed. i was able to locate all but two... evan bauer and jack cochran. -their families say they've been on a fishing trip since last week. what do we know about them? well, bauer is a weapons specialist, and cochran did a tour in explosive ordinance disposal. an e.o.d. guy would know how to build a bomb. all right. -get a team together. crawl up these guys' asses with a microscope. phone records, financials, anything... get a location. yeah. -what's wrong? we find these guys, you know what we're gonna see? nothing. these aren't brainwashed radicalized kids on a student visa. this is highly trained military. -they're probably reading out of our playbook. we are running out of time. get n.e.s.t. in the air. yes, sir. maybe we'll get lucky, the ground teams can make a move. -there, uh... there might be another way. but, uh... i don't think you're gonna like it. make the call. -it's really very simple. do what we ask, everybody lives. don't do what we ask, everybody dies. it's as easy as that. you killed my husband. -why should i believe you? because i'm afraid you have no other choice. see the van? all you gotta do is drive it where we said, park it, and walk away. you do that for us, we'll return your baby, and we can all go on with our lives. -but you should know, there's a camera on the driver's side. if you do anything stupid, we'll know. nod if you understand. mr. castle. detective beckett. -so good to see you again. and, agent fallon, your reputation precedes you. does the syrian consulate even know you're here? when last we met, detective beckett, you relieved me of my pistol. -i thought now was a good time to retrieve it. mr. yusef, when we last met, you told me it was in your business... to stay informed. i find, in my business, it's important to... keep up with current events. and i'm sure that your country would do everything in its power to avoid a terrible misunderstanding. -if somehow amir or his wife nazihah were mistakenly believed to be involved in an act of domestic terrorism. i would say, it's in both our interests. you also mentioned that amir was of special interest to you. we at the syrian consulate wanted to make sure he liked his new home, so... yes. we checked in with him from time to time. -and what about nazihah, did you check in on her? under the circumstances, we thought it would be appropriate to send our condolences. you had her under surveillance, didn't you? where is she? mr. fallon, the syrian consulate is strictly a diplomatic mission. -we're certainly not in the business of spying on u.s. citizens. however... if you were to happen by a red brick industrial building on the corner of 158th street and franklin, i do not think you'd be wasting your time. now if you'll excuse me, -i have an appointment outside the city. that's her baby. the baby's fine. where's nazihah? guys, over here. -camera frame is too tight. we can't tell where she is. no way to get in touch with her, and let her know her baby's all right. well, i guess it's all up to him. he knows we're on a deadline, right? -yeah, he knows. i mean a literal deadline. as in, you go over the line, you're dead. castle, can you just give him a chance? i-i'm happy to give him anything he needs. -it's the clock that's not cooperating. alert all units. target is in a black van. repeat, a black van. they left for times square ten minutes ago. -how'd you get 'em to talk? i lied. i told 'em radford cut a deal implicating them both. i want checkpoints and barricades in times square. get choppers in the air. -find that van. if she just left ten minutes ago, there's a chance we can catch her before she gets there. take broadway or riverside. we got broadway. you should not have taken broadway. -it's the most direct route to midtown. yeah, but it's not the fastest. we should cut over to... castle, will you please stop telling me how to drive? i'm not telling you how to drive... -you are telling me how to drive. nazihah's husband was a cabbie. so? so broadway slows down in the 70s through midtown. she would know that the fastest way is west end to 11th and then cut crosstown on 48th. -okay, why 48th and not 46th? because 46th has construction on it. turn here. all units, this is 23. we are tracking a black van southbound on broadway passing 72nd. -i repeat, southbound on broadway, passing 72nd. broadway. i, uh... i'm turning around. no, no, don't turn around. -it's the wrong van. castle, how do you know? there! there! there! -there! there! there! there! it's her. -pull over! nazihah, pull over! please, no. they have my baby. nazihah, no. -we've got her. she's okay. she's o... beckett. dispatch, this is 1 lincoln 40. -we found the bomb on 55th and 11th. 1 lincoln 40, copy. bomb squad is en route. e.t.a. three minutes. dispatch, that's about two minutes too late. -1 lincoln 40, stand by. fallon. fallon, you have any idea how to defuse a bomb? one minute. where are you? -we're at 55th and 11th. no, i'd... i'd have to see it. can you send a picture? -yeah, yeah. hold on. it's uploading right now. 45 seconds. you got it. -yeah, it's opening... it's opening now. fallon? hang on! 30 seconds. fallon! -i can't see anything! i'm sorry. i'm sorry. castle... oh... -castle. oh! oh! yes! no, he... -no, you should've seen his face, because he stopped, he looked at me, he grabbed all the wires, and then he just yanked them. all of 'em? i figured one of 'em had to be the right one. you know, the mayor wants to give you guys a medal. i didn't have the heart to tell him you had no clue what you were doing. -thank you. the captain's right. you guys don't know how lucky you are. actually... i do. -could i talk to you two for a second? i just want you two to know the u.s. attorneys office is gonna be charging them with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit terror. and thanks to you two, we won't have to add the murder of innocent new yorkers to that allegation. well, we were just doing our job. actually, i was doing my job. -i don't know what the hell he was doing. hey. but that's true. listen, um... what i do is not who i am. -it's just how i have to be. i hope you both understand that. why don't we just say it was a pleasure and that we hope that we don't have to do it again? fair enough. i-if it does happen again, though, maybe you could just text me, have a code word. -"run." hell of a day, huh? hell of a day. you know... i was thinking. -i was thinking maybe... i should go home, get some rest. long day. good night. good night. -oh, hey. holy close call, batman. we're not out of the woods yet, old chum. catwoman's still playing a most dangerous game. catwoman: -he's right, boy wonder. at best, you're just a chew toy for my beloved hecate. my real prey is, and shall always be, batman. it's not too late to surrender, catwoman. we both know how this ends. -with you licking your wounds behind prison walls. catwoman: this, my befuddled bat is a very rare blossom called the devil's kiss. and when it brushes those virtuous lips you'll be my willing slave forever. this explains your evil jaunt into the jungle, you tarnished temptress. -well, i have a secret weapon of my own. bat-ape comes to our rescue once again, batman. yes. he's been a loyal partner in the fight against jungle-based crime ever since we saved him from those poachers. catwoman gets away again, unpunished. -has she, robin? i wonder. the most dangerous game, batman... you sure she's nearby, blood? vampires have a very distinct energy signature. -dala's not exactly a vampire. her affliction may have been created in a lab but manifests itself in virtually the same way. ah. i've got her now. you check the gardens. -i'll search by the lake. fools. you cannot hope to stop dala. it's time to end this. rise, the demon etrigan -i'm... i'm fine. i'm needed elsewhere. i trust you'll start work on a cure for her? before the rising of the sun, this reign of blood will be undone. -i'll take that as a yes. batman: black mask, prepare to pay the ultimate price for your wicked ways. well, what are you waiting for? shoot him. -alfred: master bruce? batman: this dark hunger within me as much as i try, i can't suppress it. so instead, i'll feed it. -and i know just where to find a more satisfying meal. blue beetle: i bet it's an alien invasion. what are you babbling about now? the reason bats called this emergency meeting. -gotta be an alien invasion. uh, no offense, j'onn. none taken, beetle. and what's bothering you, booster? i had to send skeets to cancel my much-anticipated appearance on the jack ryder show tonight. -was gonna push my brand-new line of booster gold menswear. now, you could definitely use a hipper look. here's a coupon for 15 percent off at all participating stores. thank you, but i'll pass. fifteen percent off, you say? -by poseidon, those savings are outrageous. another blown fuse. batman: good evening. finally. -what's the nature of this emergency, batman? i'll fill you in momentarily. but first, a bite to eat, perhaps? a dinner party? why didn't you let us know? -i would have made lutefisk. i never knew bats was into fine dining. is it me or is he acting kind of strange? after seeing how he dresses his dog, nothing fazes me about this guy. we should keep him under careful observation. -now, please, indulge in this sumptuous banquet. let's put a little meat on those bones. mm! ha, ha! good eats. -a world-threatening crisis and you waste time with a dinner party? i never said there was a crisis. uh, you said you needed to see us right away. i was merely lonely. you? -oh, come on. yes, lonely. i need all of you in ways you can't possibly imagine. cosmetics? for one as naturally beautiful as you? -i bet you say that to all the nordic ice goddesses. look, i'm sure there's a good reason for this not that i wanna take the time to figure it out but i got places to go, underwear to sell. i'm afraid that will be impossible. when the lights went out, it was due to more than a simple fuse. and until it's repaired, we'll all be spending the night together. -sleepover. what do we do? for now, we act as if everything is normal. it's not? no, no, junior, you take the top bunk. -aah! why should i? because i'm more famous than you are. come on, where's your little robot, dude? get off my bunk, punk. -first the fear, then the feast. both: j'onn! you have got a crush on who? aquaman. -that hunk is global warming to my heart's polar icecaps. first of all, tora, he smells like the fulton fish market. i love that smell too. and second of all, he's married. yes, to his work. -i know. so, what do you think's wrong with him? if i told you, you'd think me insane. try me, my emerald amigo. it appears that batman has been... -he's here. how do you know? aquaman: they told me. i'm warning you, old friend. -one step closer and i'll flatten you like a flounder. but i don't wanna fight. and neither do you. ha! there's nothing i love better than a good punch-them-up. -no, you don't. perhaps you're right. aquaman. i sense you're trying to resist this evil, batman. open your mind so i can help you. -destroy me, j'onn. you must change our orbit. orbit? i don't understand. batman: -you are the most powerful of them all but every man has his weakness. help us, father. help us. j'onn. beloved. -gods of mars. i can't lose you again. get out of my mind! that's for being a terrible dinner host. unh! -and that is for ruining the sleepover. which one first? something hot and spicy, i think, and then a delicious, cool dessert. you think this is gonna work? listen, i've seen every monster movie ever made. -vampires hate garlic. i'll keep him busy. you finish the secret sauce. whoa! oh. -huh? after all i've done for you you repay me by turning against me? that's better. your neck, please. booster gold, vampire slayer. -vampires and garlic? you actually believe that? huh? martian manhunter: batman. -you said it before, human. i'm the most powerful one of all. and i'm going to stop you. now. batman: -i'll give you a chance, martian. a chance to join us. unh! never. then we'll finish with you and turn our attention to earth. -billions to feed on. i wonder if your blood is green as well. the curse has now consumed them all, the justice league this night must fall. batman told me the way to help him was by changing our orbit. if this vampire war is to be won, all hope resides within the sun. -take them. we've got to get to the bridge. you don't understand, do you? i was just letting them have their fun. they're like children. -but i am the master. blood: he's regaining consciousness. batman: blood? -j'onn? jason brought you here after dala's bite poisoned you. i knew that her bite wasn't lethal but i hadn't counted on the massive hallucinations. how are you feeling, batman?

'cause you still feel guilty. -a little. and i want the whole family to see that mel burke has changed. so i am unselfishly giving emily the greatest gift one woman can give another. a kidney? i'm letting her get married before me. -and if she ever needs a kidney... she can die knowing she got married first. that is every dead girl's dream. and the napkin color is selected. it's ivory by a landslide. -suck it, peach. alright, who wants to go outside and talk flower placement? oh, i would love to. sweetie? uh, whatever you want. -i'm sure it'll be beautiful. oh, i see you found mrs. right. look at you, getting all married before me. looking good. oh, you think it looks good now, wait till you see it with the frosting on it. -'cause the frosting will be the icing on the cake. must be hard to focus on your work with all these hot women in the house. yeah, it's hard, but, you know, i find a way to soldier on. you know, i wouldn't mind having a hot guy in my house. actually the most important thing about making a cake is these four dowels because it prevents the top tier from-- -hands! did i get a little close there? uhh, maybe. bianca, emmy wants you out there to approve centerpiece placement. and by that i mean nod at what she's already decided. -isn't that what marriage is all about? oh, look, cake toppers. i had to buy two full sets and throw away the grooms. bianca just hit on me. very funny. -i'm serious. she just put her hands on me. bianca? and you're clear on what a lesbian is? i thought so. -okay, show me on the bride where the bad lady touched you. i'm serious, all right? she just touched me. people touch people all the time. wow, you really have an unbelievable ego. -wha- i- i have an unbelievable ego? you're the one making this whole day about you! i mean, you know, "come on, have your wedding at my house! -look at all the amazing things i'm doing for you. "check out my hot nanny." and what exactly is it you want me to do about this figment of your imagination? tell the bride! the-- the other bride! -no way! no, and ruin my special day? -their special day? you saw what she did, didn't you? morning. -hey. twinkle lights for the trellis. anything else i can do? no no no, everything's handled. so how many of these cards have you done? -ugh, a few-- million. i'm getting a little hand crampy. oh, you poor thing. here. how's that? -it feels great. it's not just the muscles in your hand. tension can start in your wrist, your forearms. no, i think the tension's staying way down here where it's safe. it can radiate up to your shoulders and your neck-- your lovely neck. -hands hands! so you've never been with a woman? nope never. nope, not even in college with my friend renee. um, i'd better... -string the lights. wow, everything you're doing looks wonderful. my my my, it just-- it really looks great. yes it does, yes it does! bianca just hit on me. -god, you're competitive. no, i swear! she tried the whole, you know, "you look tense, "let me give you a hand massage." ugh! i don't usually fall for that-- sober. -relax, burke, because unlike certain people, i believe you. and watch how i'm not going to say, "i told you so!" whoops. i'm sorry i was dismissive before. you gotta tell emily now. -man, but what about the wedding i'm throwing for emily to show my family i'm a good person? a good person would save her cousin from this man-eater. woman-eater. people-eater. -we're here with emily burke, lesbian-american, on the day of her commitment ceremony with her partner. now tell us, how angry are you that so many people in the world refuse to acknowledge the validity of your gay love? oh, all of our friends are coming. they've been nothing but supportive. i just wish my parents were here. -aha! stuck in an older generation's intolerance. no. no, they're just stuck in traffic. so tell us the story of how you and bianca met. -was it a protest rally? did the cops tear gas you? uh, not quite. it was a singles mixer at our church. strangely there was tear gas. -really? no no, i was just trying to give you something. for god's sake. ryder, cut. i'm sorry. -we're getting nothing. hey, we watch the wnba all the time. don't patronize me. so i can use lennox's room to change? yeah. you know, your clothes, your mind, whatever you want. -god, i'll never be able to thank you for all of this. you've done everything to make it the perfect day. yeah, uh-huh, well, is anything ever really perfect? the love bianca and i have for each other comes pretty close. love's a funny thing, you know? -you could love someone and they could love... touching other people? i'm not sure i follow you. i'm just saying if you wanted to call off the whole wedding, i would not be mad that all my work was for nothing. -okay, spit it out, mel. you haven't been this evasive since schnappsgate. bianca made a pass at joe. she did what? i'm sorry. -she, you know, she-- grabbed him in his grabby parts-- well, the hind ones. no no, this must be a mistake. bianca's a very physically expressive person. besides, she is not into guys. it's one of the things that brought us together. -well, she, uh, yeah, she kinda made a pass at me too. oh, i see what's going on here. you can't stand it when someone else has the spotlight. ever since that summer when i developed before you did. god, i can't believe this. -you're more obsessed with breasts than i am and i'm crazy for those puppies. no, emily! i'm just trying to protect you. please don't go through with this. -i am getting married before you. deal with it. now can we just forget we ever had this conversation? ooooh. well, i told emily and she didn't believe me. -so that's it? we just give up? let emily marry this cheater? this crazy hot cheater? what are we supposed to do? -we can't convince her without proof. wait a minute. what if we put a video camera up in your room and then we can lure bianca in, get her to make a pass, catch it on tape-- bang! so to speak. a hidden camera? -oh, come on! hey, it worked in "american pie." but you can't argue with that. that's historical fact. okay, all right, we'll use me as bait. -what-- you? no, look, if we want this plan to work, i need to be the bait. what? i'm a woman. i'm lesbait. -look, she came on to me first and i rejected her. you were the rebound pass. you know what? we don't have time to argue. i'll go get the camera and you can be the peanut butter in the trap. -everybody loves peanut butter. that's it. we interviewed everybody and got nothing. one bigot-- is that too much to ask? yeah. -damn supportive wedding guests. uh, hey, are you guys running this show? yeah, are you with the bride or-- the other bride? i'm the caterer. i got a van full of chicken kiev. -wait, brides? is this one of those same-sex jobs? roll camera. we were wondering if you could expand a bit on your feelings? if you have anger, we want to hear it. -don't hold back. gay weddings, go. i don't like 'em. yeah, but if you're making money off of something you don't believe in, aren't you being a hypocrite? huh, aren't you? -you're kinda putting me on the spot here. no, you put yourself on the spot. by catering this wedding, you're encouraging this. wow, you're right. i really wish you hadn't told me that. -i feel like i'm a disgrace to catering. yes! man, we nailed it. we turned over a rock and exposed raw prejudice. i totally made him squirm. -no, you totally made him leave! with all the food for the whole wedding! don't blame me. blame ignorance and intolerance. yeah well, since neither one of them seems to be here, -i'm gonna blame you. hey, all right. so what do you think? if you were hot and a lesbian, would you get all over this? what do you mean, "if i were hot"? -stay with me, all right? stay with me. how's this? hey, bianca. that might make me gay. -just the outfit is trying too hard. you know? what about your purple henley? yeah, 'cause you know, it's fitted, but not too tight and it really brings out your eyes. i mean, that's just a statement of fact. -it's in no way an endorsement. you like the henley, huh? not that much. okay. so the camera is linked to my laptop so i'll be able to monitor all the action. -well, not the action-action. just the pre-action. please don't at any point get to the action. i got it, i got it. get outta here, will you? -send her in. oh yeah, i'd ride this ride. peanut butter. oh! excuse me. -mel told me this room was available. it is. very available... as well as anything you see in it. let me take that dress for you. -i'll just hang it up over here. smooth, longo. what are you doing in here? anything you want me to be doing. for instance i could help you with that bag. -i can just put it right over here. can i help you with anything else? 'cause i can take care of anything you could possibly need... with a very gentle touch. well, i guess there is one thing you could do for me. -yeah? please leave so i can get ready. but are you-- are you sure? bye. well, 'cause i-- -i got other shirts! ahem. i don't want to talk about it. it's like she was immune to my powers of seduction. you mean like she's gay? -! you think you can do better? i know i can. watch and learn. wait a minute, wait a minute! -you're gonna go upstairs wearing that? of course you're gonna do great. you look-- okay in that. just go seduce the lesbian and stop your cousin's wedding! -'sup, girlfriend? -of emily. not much. just getting married. what's up with you? -i-i- i just came up here to look for something. i think i left it on the bed over here. well, can you help me find it? what are we looking for? -oh, it's... oh, i found it. it's the light in your eyes. it does something to me. you did not just say that. -i can't stop thinking about how you asked me if i've ever been with a woman. and no, i haven't. yeah, you told me that this morning. well, now the thought is under my skin like an itch and i just- i thought maybe you could scratch it. -meow. um, mel, it's my wedding day. i know. it makes it even hotter, doesn't it? i know you've got all sorts of issues, but could you maybe take them downstairs? -no, i don't have issues. i, uh... i just came to help, you know? if you needed anything zipped, or unzipped... -yeah, goodbye, mel. okay. oh, you know you want it. is it possible we're not as hot as we think we are? i guess it's possible. -i mean, she had a shot at this. and that. we're here for hair and makeup. can you tell us where we find bianca? oh yeah, right up those stairs. -first door. well, i'd better go apologize to emily. i feel just awful. hey look, if it's any consolation, if i saw you in a bar and i didn't know you and you didn't speak or interact with me in any way, i would probably hit that. aw, thanks. -and if i saw you in a bar i'd be all "who's looking after the kids?" no, seriously, you look fine. okay, we're in major trouble. perhaps it wasn't a good idea to piss off the caterer! -he was a bigot. get over it! well, i called every other catering place in town. they laughed at me. we can always order a bunch of pizzas. -this is a wedding, not a super bowl party! pizzas aren't classy enough. unless-- unless you cut them into little squares and call them pizzettas. i watch a lot of "top chef." everybody's outside. -we can talk in here. fine! what is it? who did bianca feel up now? my grandma was looking kinda happy. -oh no, bianca didn't do anything. it turns out the whole thing was in our minds. well, mostly in joe's. i'm sorry. you should be sorry. -just let me get this off my chest before you walk down the aisle. there's more? we thought we needed proof so joe and i took a camera-- mostly joe-- and put it in my bedroom and we tried to get bianca to hit on us so that you could see it for yourself. you bitch! i know, i know. -you have every right in the world to say that. not you, bianca! oh my-- with the hair guy? ! -and the makeup girl. and on my brand-new duvet. oh, i am gonna kill her. well-- not on the duvet. where the heck is she go-- hello! -no, that's not how you turn it off. no, i'm just trying to zoom in here. hold on. boy, canceling the wedding sure throws a wrench in the honeymoon. hey, you should still go on the cruise. -by myself? yeah sure! maybe you'll meet somebody nice. a whole boatful of like-minded ladies. to a whole new start. -oh, thank you, mmlly. and i'm so sorry i didn't believe you about bianca. i understand. i don't have the best track record. but i really was just looking out for you. -i know you were. and hey, you know what? you could still beat me to the altar. i doubt it. there isn't anybody i can see that happening with. -ladies, can i offer you some pizzettas? if you like them, i have 5,000 more of these in the kitchen. by the way, i loaded up your car with the first round of presents, okay? even the one that was-- vibrating. thank you, joe. -that's my... that's my toothbrush. i'm just gonna go turn it off now. oh, i feel terrible about what happened, like i'm somehow responsible. wow, you even grab the credit when things go wrong. -you're right, joe. i'm selfish. always have been, always will be. yep, you are probably the most selfish person i've ever met. i mean, look at you-- you took your sister's two kids in, turned your life completely upside down, and every day you work tirelessly to make the city a better place to live. -same old party-girl burke. i don't even know how you live with yourself. really? you think i'm okay? eh. -you know, this cake really is a thing of beauty. yeah, thank you. sturdy as a rock too. you won't be able to knock that thing over-- go ahead, give it a try. good luck. -wow, as fun as that sounds, i actually prefer to eat my cake. first of all, you have to cut the cake correctly. i know how to cut a cake. obviously you don't know how to cut a cake, because you were trying to cut it, but it was not correct. -you need to cut it like a pie, so look, you go in like this, then you scoop it up under. perfect. boom! just like that. all right, let's see. -give it a taste, go ahead. huh? what? what's the matter? it's not very moist. -not moist? what are you talking about? here, try. it's perfectly moi-- you know what? -no, you're wrong. that's actually very very moist. the thing about it is, um, i just don't think you had a big enough bite, see? it was -it was... friday before rosie left for school. she was in the garage getting her bike and- did she seem different in any way? did she say anything to you, mr. larsen, before she left? -i was on the phone taking an order. she- she just waved. and that was the last time you saw your daughter? anyone you can think of that might have done this? -mrs. larsen? ηer fingernails. what-what was that? they were broken. why? -she's-she's quiet. she'd... stay at home most weekends. hangs out with her brothers and... sometimes her friend sterling. what about this boyfriend, jasper? lasted only a few weeks. -rosie broke it off. i think in the summer. he ever hurt your daughter, mr. larsen? i should have got off the phone. i should have said good-bye. -keys, jewelry. coroner's got no cause of death yet. you having a talk with the campaign? yeah, i'm about to call them. no, you do it. -political nature of this case, deputy com's gonna be watching. so you have to dot your i's on this one. i handed in my paperwork. i don't work here anymore. paperwork's sitting on my desk till i sign off. -you found her, sarah. and i have a wedding to plan. yeah, it's in what?

-yeah. uh, where's jack? with regi on the boat. he's fine. okay, good. -oakes is making me stay. you're kidding me. just till tomorrow. rick, i'm so sorry. this is crazy. -okay. well, cancel the wedding. it's over. i'm in love with another woman. strawberry blonde. -ηot. she has the softest, smoothest, "rubberiest" skin. and the best thing about her? she's here. oh, and she's naked. -candy cane's a lucky girl. yeah. hey, get home to me soon. i will. i love you. -bye. i appreciate you keeping this just to family for now. the first 48 hours are the most important. when can we bring rosie home? um, soon. -we'll have a unit over at your house later to go through your daughter's room. why'd you want to know if she was into politics? we're looking at every angle. you should get home. get some rest. -i'm sorry for your loss, mrs. larsen, mr. larsen. will you find who did this? we'll do our best. will you find who did this? yeah. -we took in close to 24k tonight. the blue hairs of seattle were sufficiently charmed. you must be exhausted. nope. well, good, because i have a nice pinot waiting for us. -hello. yes, this is she. i don't i don't understand. yes. -we'll meet you at the office. τhat was the police. that missing girl from the high school- τhey found her body, darren, in one of our campaign cars. we'll need to know who had access to your vehicles. -absolutely. τhis is terrible. i don't understand how our campaign can have anything to do with this. where were you this weekend? i can get you a list. -we were both with the councilman around the clock. was rosie larsen connected to the campaign in any way? no. i've checked everything, including our volunteer lists. so friday, you were campaigning out of town, councilman? -uh, i was taking a much-needed break. i can provide the number of the inn. the owner will confirm i was there. and the owner was with you around the clock too, huh? why don't you start looking through those personnel records? -i'm sure it's a long list. i put our staff files on a flash drive. i'll have to send the records from the campaign office. is there anyone else who can vouch for you friday night? i can. -i was with the councilman. we'll need a statement from both of you. not until we issue a press release. i'd rather not go public now. it's not up to you. -we're in the middle of a campaign. whoever did this hid her well. our only advantage is he doesn't know we found her. ηow much time do you need? till midnight at least. -i'll be in touch. councilman. there is no way we are sitting on this. darren, you're not seriously considering it, are you? what do you recommend i do? -call a press conference immediately and express outrage at this tragedy. you gotta go on the attack. adams has had his head so far up columbia domain fund's ass... that crime has skyrocketed 12%. in fact, if it wasn't for him, dead girl would probably be alive today. ηow do you do that with a straight face?

who can shut up happiness? my brother is marrying. -i didn't know he was in love. gypsies don't marry for love. that comes later. repeat the charge. suspicion of grand theft. -what we are always booked for: suspicion of being gypsies. an ancient crime. grand theft - when our visitors are here only two little hours. six. -six, eight, one... what's the difference? it's bookmaking, vagrancy, or dancing without a taillight. what are you crying about? you never let us keep 'em long. -even texas jails had better eats. for just one little fortune i told. some boy steals apples and we're all dillingers and bandits. welcome, my friends. and forget these troubles. -i am marco torino. theodore caldash. father of annie and xano. bimbo, my assistant, and friends and neighbours of our vitsa. apologies for this reception. -we are, however, filled with joy to find you in good health. we hope that your stephano is also in good health. since i showed him your picture his health is tremendous. are you sure you have never been married before? bimbo will help you to free your automobile, then he'll bring you to my house. -your home, annie. yours and stephano's. hey, steve. you sure don't believe in long goodbyes, baby. the whole block is watching, and half of 'em are my relatives. -a dancing teacher gets used to being watched. yeah. well, let's make it good. you're going to make a very good dancing teacher. i'll meet you here tomorrow night, in back. -as usual, my last-born son comes last. maybe because we had a flat tyre the day he was born. and when marco was born? a flock of eagles pass over? say, it smells good. -what's the celebration? still smells good. unlike what i saw driving you home. smells pretty good up close. you know everything fast as it happens, don't you? -some day when you take my place, you'll want to know everything, too. no argument? one brother says "white", other brother says " black". some make noise through the mouth and say nothing. our playboy rides around in convertibles. -she was bringing me from the job i want. is that so? i saw this job in the cards. somebody was dancing. yeah? -what else did the cards tell you about it? that i'm not letting you take it. you're not? you have a job with your own people. do you never get tired of running my life? -black, white. white, black. yes, i get tired. stephano. you are going to get married. -we have bought you an angel. very beautiful, marco. very good, marco. if you can't break a horse, harness him. listen to me. -i listened to you all my life till i learnt not to hear. don't push me no more, marco. i don't owe nobody nothing. no king brother, no deep law. just myself. -nobody is free like that, stephano. even the president of united states has a few laws on top of him, too. from the moment you are born you start to owe something. i had no say about how i was born. i can say how i'll be married. -day is night. night is day. stephano, this annie is very pretty in the face. i don't care. i'm not interested. -i say you are. i say you are. even if i have to teach you with the buckle. you're going to what? stephano. -stop. stop. turn your face to the wall. the bride is coming. you shouldn't look. -turn your face to the wall. here's the bride. hey, annie. come over and sit down. make yourself at home. -sorry to disappoint you, grandpa. take this outside. get it out. ok. our people will get you anything you want. -the marriage agreement signed? all fixed. two thousand payable at the ceremony, as agreed. thank you, bimbo. and now you will excuse me. -i have important business for our vitsa. rest well. come on, let's get this in hand. stay here. hello, mr torino. -goodbye, i'll speak to you tomorrow. another payment so soon? you're looking better today. thank you. oh, mr torino, don't you want your paints? -some beauty you are. two, three more payments, and you're going to be all mine. then we'll travel the long journey together. both of us. but first, i have another match to make. -yes, sir. fine, good. ok. fine, fine. why the special dressings? -we only going to fly the coop like always. tricks and getaways and a new name in every city. some sweet life. well, you've still got us, annie. yeah. -all right, take it off. thank you, grandpa johnny. i'm steve torino. and you're the bride from chicago. i gotta talk to your father. -i am the proud papa. some beauty, huh? what a bargain you're getting. plenty smart, too. my brains. -and this is her brother xano. very fine fellow, too. he... yeah, he eats. they say it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. -but me, i'm up-to-the-date modern. no superstition. wine for the groom. nothing's too good for the goose who lays golden eggs. crazy. -we drink to the groom. there isn't going to be any. huh? it's kind of hard to have a wedding without one. there isn't going to be any wedding. -but your brother marco signed the agreement. that's his lookout. i'm not marrying her, that's all. that is not all. xano watch that door. -i'm not good enough for you, huh? ah, sure. my brother picks the best. i don't wear his neckties, neither. i got my own taste. -not for a bride. the head of the family chooses. not mine. by our deep law. not my wife. -i'll choose her. maybe i'm not pretty enough. sure. you're beautiful. but you're a complete stranger. -he wants to know who he marries. like a gajo. maybe he's got some other girl. lots. i don't want to marry them, either. -but when i do, it won't be marco's choice. and it won't take marco's money. it'll be like one spark in a battery. this fellow is crazy. no, i don't think so. -so, to turn down your brother, you'd turn me down, huh? well, you're his idea. how about my expense? you got any ideas about that? yeah. -see marco. don't let him out. shut up. stop it, you brainless goats. so, you don't want to go through with this? -i say he got to. shut up, papa. now, i'm going to tell you something that you and your king brother don't know. we didn't intend to go through with this wedding, neither. no. -we're here for the big trick. cash in our pocket and dust in your eyes. our dust. tell him. at this wedding she might get sick kinda' sudden. -yeah, but after your brother has paid for the bride. you grab the dough and up the road, and marco's 2,ooo out the window and i'm still free. and nobody hurt but marco. my brother's face. it would have been worth it just to see his face. -do you know what $2,ooo means to him? to him. 2,ooo bucks. wouldn't it still be worth it? you play him a good trick, we get paid. -after such a bajour, your brother wouldn't bother you any more. you're wonderful. you willing? no. how does it work? -watch outside, nobody comes. stephano, you stay close, like you are the groom. now listen. when marco raises the knife to join your blood forever, what happens? i get sick. -you grab your throat like you swallowed a bone. then i say, " nobody wants to marry a sick bride." i release them from the promise and we rush out to xano, who's waiting in the car. and i'm left at the alter. heartbroken. -but not so broken as marco, uh? uh? nice fellow. hey, marco. marco. -zorno, marco. korka, no bears. no, no bears today, korka. only you, my friend. only you. -korka. papo. oh, papo. papo. look. -korka brought abishca. take him home and then you come back without abishca. he's going to take you home. hey, marco. come on over and join the celebration. -hey, marco. come on, marco. marco. so now he's a groom. look at him good. -if it wasn't for me, tonight this groom would be with some gajo cat. i guess you're right. don't guess. you know. " never going to get married. -i want to live my own life." sure, fine. great. i listen. when he heard the sound of her voice, no more arguments. -he's always right. who can argue about an angel? he's a good king, marco. i don't care what anyone says. you gotta to hand it to marco. -don't forget the contributions to the promised land. some gypsies have been a little tight-fisted of late, but don't worry, i'll get you the promised land, and some day i'm going to find you a king even better than me. no. no. impossible. -stephano torino, are you ready to take annie theodore as your bride? yeah, ready. you, annie? ready. for a long time. -grandpa johnny torino, do you accept annie into our family? a man without a wife is like a bird with only one wing. mama, the tray. papa theodore i now offer you a drink from the fountain of success that has brought these two together. and the price you have asked... -i pay it. two thousand dollars. and i give you my daughter for a wedding. annie theodore, nita johnny gives you her son. give her respect and many grandchildren. -moisture and soil for the seed of love and happiness. annie, stephano, your left hands. you don't feel good maybe, annie, huh? fine, papa. let the blood flow as one for now and forever. -let the sun and the moon be our witness. what are you waiting for? annie, come on. hey, wait a minute, marco. what's the matter, are you nervous? -poor father. such emotions. annie theodore, you are now annie stephano for as long as you live. drink. drink. -by this you shall never thirst. for every broken bit, a year of married happiness i name you man and wife. papo, congratulations. strength, happiness, much money and many children. -all boys. eat. drink. dance. and don't forget the dowry. -don't look like you've been sentenced to death. yeah, i only got life, huh? your cell will be padded. yeah. fill up the bread with the dough. -not from you, theodore. you already give us the best gift. you bet. my life. too bad it wasn't. -stephano. look. so, she dances. what's the matter, stephano? no fire in the feet? -she go too fast for you to catch? hey, stephano. what's the matter? no fire in those feet, hey? this bride's gotta be tamed. -maybe her husband ain't man enough. stephano. marco. stephano. stephano. -steph... korka, the whip. give me the whip. now you'll see a woman tamer. tonight stephano flies like an eagle. -my business, my daughter... gone. gone. everybody come inside. where'd you learn to handle the whip so good? -in a carney show. i used to work with whips and knives. tonight was the first time a knife hit me square in the back. you should've worked with a mind-reader. you wouldn't have looked so surprised at our wedding... my husband. -want to know why i did it? why should i? you just don't care? you're smart, all right. got every trick in the bag. -where are my shirts? in there. there's one little thing you forgot. in the deep law of the gypsies a marriage can be ended at any time, see? not just like that. -the husband or the wife just has to stand up in front of the tribe and say, "there is no love." that's all. is that what you're going to do? no. you are. pretty soon, i think. -when is this " pretty soon" to be? when you tire of being married to a man who's not going to... who's not going to be your husband. you will if i want. listen, a gypsy wife, even a bad one, has to be faithful to only one man. but there's no law that says a husband has got to be a husband to the wife. -tsara, tsara joy and strife listen, man you've got to kiss your wife tsara, tsara listen, wife you obey your husband all your life tsara, tsara let's be gay -there's a gypsy wedding here today tsara, tsara now it starts... you're not going out past our families on our wedding night. well, i'll just wait 'till... oh, i can go out the front door. -listen i don't care nothing about you. listen woman, listen well hear the words i have to tell though your skirt are lined with gold gold at night grows very cold -man is heat and man is storm man can k eep you cold or warm what he's not there hasn't been what he is will now begin tsara, tsara joy and strife -listen, man you've got to kiss your wife such passion. such emotion. get away. didn't want to keep you waiting. -i don't ever want to see you again. get out. can't it wait till tomorrow? i want to know tonight. now what's the story? -i hear you're not hiring me. why? contact mr swift by mail. i'll contact him now. where is he? -i am mr swift. your personal records are unsuitable. goodnight. i got two left feet? my eyes the wrong the colour? -i have nothing personal against gypsies... no. you're just afraid i'll pick one of your customer's pockets. well, i got something to say to you, gajo. i'm going to call the police. -go ahead, call them. steve. please. but first you're going to hear something from me. some gypsies steal a little. -but you ever heard of a gypsy stealing an oil well or robbing a bank? or a gypsy woman double-timing her husband? it"s nothing like that. what is it? you think i can't dance, maybe? -the judge fined him $50 for dancing without the bride. and $300 damages. oh, tim. hmm? if he asks who paid his fine this time, don't tell him. -ok. still they sleep. sh. if you must talk, whisper. not out yet, hmm? -not out? not even up. put some honey in their tea, mama. sage. it's the best. -but acorns works good, too. now, once travelling in china, i... oh, stop. annie. we have some hot tea ready for you two. -stephano's still asleep. there's no sleep like the bridegroom's. is there, my new daughter? no, papa johnny. just like a baby. -look, i remember. i remember when... annie... stephano, listen. annie, there's someone here you'll want to see. -stephano said to tell you... somebody's going to pay for this. this is nobody's business. only mine. nobody does nothing till i talk with my daughter alone. -compensation talk. did you pay my fine, sucker? the least you could have done is come by the back door. what passion. what emotion. -double-trick your own flesh and blood. why, annie? why did you marry this good-for-nothing son of a rooster? partly how he looked and partly how he talked. and partly because i'm tired. -of me? of xano? of the way we live. better we all stayed in jail. look what a beautiful tent you make for him. -it don't matter. you're not going to stay with him. we're going back to chicago. we find other bridegrooms. no, papa, i'm going to stay with him. -and i'm going to be the best wife. i'm going to make more money than any other torino wife. before i'm through he'll want me more than any man ever wanted a woman. but annie... someday he'll tell everybody that. -and that's the day i'll go back to chicago. everybody here is crazy. no argument about that. you'd better have some big apologies for us. i want to talk to annie. -anything said to her is said to me. go out, please, huh? all right, then. you ain't seen me for the last time, marco torino. that's for sure. -well? what a bride. what a waste. what an idiot my brother is. he's so stubborn he double-crosses himself. -a man can change. or somebody can change him. you've got big plans for him. he's a torino. this vitsa will soon need a new king. -it's got a good one now from what i've seen. i haven't told this to anyone, but... there's something... very important disease. well, you don't look like a sick man. the gajo doctor says i'll have to retire pretty soon. -four or five weeks. he says gypsies shouldn't live in the city. my job looks easy, but it isn't. the one who follows me needs the right wife to help him. stephano doesn't think i'm the right one. -annie... give him the chance to find out. suppose you're putting all your eggs in the wrong basket? i don't think so. i have confidence in you. i've got to have that. -marco... nothing. all right, papa, you can come in now. that changes everything, i suppose. no, papa. -we still go to chicago. on that day. good, annie. good. i tell xano. -they packed yet? she wants to talk to you. i don't want to talk to her. i just want a clean shirt. i find you a queen and you wipe your feet on her. -a gypsy's heart is never free warm wine with peaches in it. good for the head. your maid is chosen while you're young make yourself comfortable. -i just came for a clean shirt. they mak e a deal for you and me another business appointment? tonight, at the bayou. another dancing job. -i'm still trying. so am i. the glass is brok en songs are sung our hearts are filled with doubt and hate are you still mad at me? -that's right and love is distant as a star you weren't expecting to get married last night, were you? but you were? we're thrown together it's our fate -the deal was made and here we are i could learn to love you this is my desire how can love start burning, poochka if you never light the fire -i could learn to love you and your foolish pride your lips say you hate me, poochka but your eyes say your lips lied i could learn to warm your wine and kiss those lips why do your hands search for freedom? -look what's at your fingertips you could learn to love me pluck me from the vine i could learn to love you husband, here's your wine here's your wine. -that's good wine. very good wine. you were nearly married before? uh-huh. when i was fourteen. -when the time came to join the blood and i looked at him, i got sick all right. for real. i told papa i'd never get married again. not by gypsy law. -not to anyone i hadn't seen first and knew i wanted. you've had too much. you'll be late for your business appointment. she won't run away. she'll wait. -you go whenever you want to but i'm sleepy i'm going to bed. i'm gonna fix that window for you. agreed? all right. i'm very glad you didn't marry that fat fellow from michigan. -you need a real man. but real men have only time for business appointments, huh? annie. yes, stephano? i'm not going. -i'm staying. that, i am glad to hear. that's wonderful. oh, no. why don't you...? -stephano, that's just wonderful. i was ready to give you up. did you hear that? annie? what did i tell you? -give him time. did i say it, annie? oh, annie i could... see, it's like i always said, the only right girl is a gypsy girl. she makes the living. -you do the living. she rules the house and you the gypsies. this is our law. annie and i understand these things. you have a very good understanding with each other. -just put the right positive and negative together... electricity! what did i do? you... he blew a fuse. -they had it all planned. here he comes. i told you he'd show. he's the brother of a gypsy king. he's a busy fellow. -he'll be busy, if he can dance. hi, there. joe randy of famous enterprises. steve, joe's offering us a contract. ninety days in san diego, if he likes the audition. -ninety days. that's a long time out of town. i thought you said you were free. what's to keep you here? nothing, i guess. -friend of yours, steve? tell your fortune, dear? love? money? travel? -a book on dreams? lady from jerusalem. your future in seven languages. our future's all planned. go ahead. -no. we're talking business. it's very cheap. one dollar for two hands. i'll buy. -i see a man crossing your lifeline. only one? do not trust him. he will bring only unhappiness. much unhappiness. -who can that be? other hand, dear. plans and dreams. i see a business venture with this fellow. bad mistake. -come on. that's enough. please! she's only had forty cents' worth. break up with this man. -right away. why? he's married. now look... more than he knows. -really? i hadn't noticed. don't listen... i'm learning things. phoney. -that's none of your business. oh, no. i speak of the man, dear. your partner. you think he's interested in you. -he's not. he is in love with his wife. he just doesn't know it. the business venture? you do not get it. -i've had enough of this! go on home, will you? i say something to make people unhappy? i tell only what i see. i'm just a good gypsy wife earning her husband a living. -besides, dear, it's better to be safe than sorry. picking the wrong partner is like putting on a cheap hair dye. on the top it looks all gold, but it's black at the roots. shall i read your head? i'm very good... -hey! hey, come on! gajo! cut it out! let's get her out of here. -just to get away from here, i'll sign that contract. come on! good evening, ladies. nobody home, stephano. everybody gone out. -have you seen annie? i've seen everyone. marco, too. look for him, and you find annie. where is she? -in jail? your feet should follow your ears. hey, stephano! stephano is back! papo, what do you think? -my turn. you know this fellow, annie? yeah, he looks familiar. is she a good teacher, marco? the bad penny returns! -how do you like that? the first minute home, he steals my dance. good. good. why did you come back? -i got sick of gajo cooking... not enough seasoning, huh? ...and sleeping in buses, dancing in smoky rooms... and blondes. did you get enough of them, too? -you didn't die of lonesomeness, while i was away. you wanted me to? sob in the window and count the days? you should've told me, stephano. guess i forgot. -papo, what do you think? is he home to stay? i'm going to make it sure. korka! yes, papo. -the present i brought you. lend it back to me, please. all right. we will make a brew from this ceremonial popskull. but it will make everyone sick. -only stephano, but such a good sickness. thank you, daughter. he made the best medicine in all serbia... he thought. got some more roots, korka? yeah, papo. -the strength of grass. the sweetness of flowers. the heat of the grape! papo! the shavings of a goat's hoof and the skull of a crow would be good. -very good, yeah. but not for tonight. no? no. let's go. -such gloom on korka's birthday! watch out! you'll get burnt! not to be burnt is not to live! everybody look at me! -i made a drink to welcome home the husband. in this cup is happiness, health, love and life! drink. thank you. he had all this happiness, and what did he do? -he ran away. to annie. from a man who knows the best when he sees it. just a minute. that's too good for bachelors. -i leave it to you, annie. which is the best? he who stays or he who runs away? which is the best, annie? neither. -tonight, korka is the honoured one. happy birthday, korka! you did it again. what could i do? i just... -annie. annie. well, i... i didn't mean... come on! -it looks nice. fixed it up real good. it's just like it was before. you know something else good? that dance of yours. -could've burned up a town. yeah, yeah. or even a man. how about some more wine? oh, no. -cigarette? or something to eat? nothing but sleep. you won't mind the bed roll, will you? what? -what's the matter, annie? when i find out, i'll tell you. i've got no business appointment tonight. when i was leaving you wrecked the town to stop me. and now what am i? -a stranger? it's nothing to do with you. well, who then? met somebody in your sleep, huh? some dream fellow been moving in on me? -please, stephano, go to bed. i just can't swallow any more talk tonight. i'd like to punch that dream fellow right in the nose! you told annie i'm here? she don't want to see nobody. -if this no-good husband caused her sickness, i'll kill him. i'll break him in half! calmness, please. who knows what can cause sickness? pains in annie's head, somebody said. -in the head. in the stomach. what is the difference? i fixed dandelion tea, some chocolate. she won't touch nothing. -in serbia, once, i fixed an important medicine. it was like... do me a favour. forget everything you every fixed, anywhere, anytime. the head, the stomach. -she don't drink nothing? when somebody's sick, everybody's a physician! physician, not. woman, yes! i had same kind of sickness before each one of my eight. -and you had double before the twins! untrue! impossible! my annie don't even like him! shut up! -wouldn't the husband's mother be the first one to know? the first one to know would be the wife of the husband. if you tell one word of this, i'll pluck you like ducks! who would talk of such a thing? get out! -get out! we don't talk! out! yack, yack, yack! everyone on the street is whispering. -like some dirty joke. since i felt sick, i haven't been out, and you've gotta pay me for mind reading. what were you sick from? who knows? it won't stop people from talking if... -talk can be true. you think it is? you've got funny ideas for a husband who wasn't a husband... and went away. what i want to know is... while i was gone did my wife get lonely and forget that she was a wife? maybe for company. -lonely? why not? but if you think i'm like a gajo with the door wide open, you should've stayed gone! i'm your husband. i've a right to know. -right? yeah, you got a lot of rights. rights to get drunk, to run away, and to go and come and listen to dirty gossip. if you want any more rights, shuffle the deck and get a new queen. only, next time, don't marry just to make your brother a joke. -forget my brother! he is more man and more king than you'll ever be. i'm asking for a special council meeting to free me from this marriage! you still got stephano in your name. you show me respect. -if you'd hit me and given me orders on our wedding night i would have kissed your hand. respect? i'll show you respect in front of the whole tribe, when i ask them to free me from your name, my husband who wasn't a husband! is there anything wrong? -so, this is your promised land? part of it. let me tell you a few things about myself... you don't have to tell me anything. i know everything you've done. -good. it stinks! what? this trailer? it's paid for, and there's a little something coming to me besides. -stephano, the time has come for you take my place. i can't tell you how important that is. none of your con stuff. i'm not one of your pigeons in the vitsa. what's eating you? -you've been stealing from your people. that's up to them. now you've stolen from me. what did i steal? annie, that's what. -you got that from her? she told me you were a better king and a better man than i could ever be. now i see what kind of king you are. now i'm gonna see if you're a better man. gajo style? -like gypsies. yeah. like gypsies. you're a good dancer. now i'm going to teach you some new steps. -not bad. not bad at all. but ducking baseballs in the park should've taught you to feint with your head. that was a good job i got you. i never forgot. -like that. like that. stephano! stephano! stop it, stephano! -she wants a council meeting to divorce me. make it soon. take everything. the mattresses and all. sort of hurts you right here, huh? -what do you mean? not a scar. i've forgotten him already. what are you? nervous? -when this marriage ends, i'll be the happiest rag-head on the road. we'll be a caravan of joy! shut up, and get the rugs too. he never slept home, anyway! and all the lights. -there's some over there. those are marco's private business papers. he's like a gajo, stealing from his own people. at the meeting, i'll get a clear look at him for the first time. you don't see. -even if there is no promised land it makes people happy to believe in it. i don't like lies! or doors that can't be left open at night. too bad the roof is nailed down, huh? that he can have. -the rent's due. boy, he sure got under your skin! stephano. for a long time he hid this from you. from all of us. -open it. open it. " dear mr torino, these x-ray photographs "confirm the report of my previous examination." advanced state." -you still think marco did so wrong? one little thing for himself, but how much for everyone? all those people he got out of jail. somebody needs bail? marco go. -if gajo doctor, marco get. somebody dies? marco bury. and you think only he was a thief? you know what you gonna say? -don't worry, papa. suppose stephano don't come? always the genius! how he'll get divorced if he ain't here? he's here. -black is white and white is black. do what's in your heart, my boy. papo. with the permission of the elders, i ask that another torino shall, for today, take my place as judge and king of our vitsa. -my brother stephano. the elders approve? yes. you must judge your own divorce. you accept this, my son? -i do. if anyone has business before this council, speak now. my name is annie stephano. i ask the annulment of my marriage. oh, no, annie. -no. you realise, annie, this makes you a second-class girl. you cannot again marry first class. you must say why you want this. the law says a marriage can end when there is no love. -there is no love. why? haven't you heard? my husband never wanted me. not before the marriage, not after. -when he tried to back out, i tricked him. tricks didn't work. stephano was too busy listening to a lot of dirty gossip and lies. they worked. against me. -we were married by law, not by heart. now i want never to see his face or hear his voice. i want to throw away his name. it is now the husband who must speak. listen, what annie said was true. -i was married but that didn't make me a husband. when my brother pushed this marriage, i hit back. i didn't understand about annie. i didn't understand marco. i did believe a lot of lies. -i didn't look for the truth. when i hit back at my brother, i hurt my wife. i didn't ask, i accused. i took my belt to a sick man. where i thought there was only a fat wallet, there's a big heart. -my brother is a better king for this vitsa than i could ever be. annie stephano. you wanted this marriage over. the husband agrees. annie stephano. -by your wish, before all, the blood that was joined is now separated. sit down and listen to me! now, listen! i may be stronger than my brother, but i'm not wiser. but i'm smart enough to know he ought to start for the promised land first. -to take care of it so that we can follow him there. i persuaded marco to use some of our contributions, so that he can get started. bimbo will see that he gets there, and we'll see that he enjoys it there. an empty hat is worse than an empty glass. i'll do this. -you always like the gajo ideas. don't gajo men run after the woman when the woman walks out? huh? why do you stand there? get going! -annie! hey, annie! i gotta talk to you. drive slower. the marriage is finished. -but we're not. we can start all over again - a regular proposal. driver slower, do you want to wear him out? well, start... i love you! -i want to marry you! but i want to marry a king. i'll be a king. i'll be anything. faster! -such passion! such emotion! "this dog-track is nothing to do with the story." "but without it, there wouldn't be any story." "because a racketeer's desire to get control of it .." -"set forces in motion that caused a man and a woman who had never met .." "who were not likely ever to meet.." "to converge on each other like express trains." "and with the same results." "the man is half-owner of the track." -"honest .. altogether a decent guy." "his name is dave barrett." don't be frightened, dave. this isn't a stick-up. who let you in? -i let myself in. looks like i'll have to have the locks changed. don't waste your money, dave. you'll just have to get extra copies made for frankie. where did frankie edare get those keys? -and why? "where" is easy. from your ex-partner lou belden. "why" is obvious. ex-partner? -catching on. belden sold out to edare? bingo. ─ i don't believe it. believe it. -where is frankie edare right now? at the intermezzo having dinner. saving a place for you. let's go. "while dave is on his way." -"a lovely businesswoman is coming happily out of the nightclub." "she has devoted her life to her work." "and the greatest success of her career is within her reach." "and tonight, she is celebrating." "jessica warren." -"beautiful." "successful." "above reproach." "a woman used to making decisions." "and right decisions." -"she's happy." "maybe a bit too happy." "heading toward a fateful decision." hello dave. sit down and have a steak. -no thanks. i'm not hungry. oh come on, sit down. black angus. i raise them on my ranch. -the best steaks in town. when i operate a place, everything is the best. you'll find that out, dave. not if i can help it. dave, we're business partners now. -if you say so. i've got a paper in here, proves it. signed by your former associate. how did you get lou to sell out? you think i pressured him? -i didn't need to pressure him. he offered me a deal. if you don't believe me, ask lou. what's your angle, frankie? there's nothing in my set up for an operator like you. -not the way you run it. that's the way i'm going to run it. i'm not cutting you in. don't beg for trouble, dave. ─ there won't be any trouble. -not if you pull out now. ha ha. dave, i've got a better idea. you pull out. i'll give you the same deal i gave belden. -you must be stupid, frankie. if the racing commission hears that you're moving in. they'll close down the track in five minutes. belden is going to front for me. now who's going to know my connection? -─ me. okay, dave. if anything goes wrong, i'll know who to thank. i couldn't help it, dave. ─ you couldn't help it? -now wait a minute. ─ so help me, i ought .. take it easy now. look. four ribs they broke. -okay. so now all you've got to worry about is me. so help me, if i ever lay eyes on you again, i'll kill you. alright dave, get out of here. i don't go for this rough stuff. -come on, lou. i'll buy you a drink. rummy, come on back here. they're following us alright. mister, i don't want to get in any trouble. -okay, look. mcnab .. here is twenty bucks. pull over and stop. you bet. "operator." -"operator." give me the police. "police department. hello?" "hello. -police department." "hello." this is jessica warren. 600 chelsea drive. i want to report a stolen car. -no, i've had enough, frankie. ─ oh come on, lou. it will do you good. no more. i can't take it. -─ come on. one more. good scotch. hello? what? -yeah, just a minute. boss. yeah? frankie .. we lost barrett. well he spotted us and he ditched the taxi. -what do you we do now? go back and wait for him at his apartment? ah, dave is no sitting duck. he's scared. yeah, he's got some angles to figure. -he's smart enough not to light any place until he's figured them. you get the number of that cab? i know the cabbie. he's a guy named johnny mcnab. he hacks around the club a lot. -good. take off until tomorrow night. enjoy yourself. dave is gunning for you, lou. you think dave is sore enough to ..? -─ don't worry. i'm driving you home myself. we'll go out the back way. my car is parked there. wait. -what was that? ─ what? wait here. it's okay. nothing but a cat. -somebody phone the police. a friend of mine has just been shot. jessica warren, i love you. "the first i heard of this was when i saw it on the front page of the paper." "my name is pete carroll." -"i'm a city detective." who gave this to the papers? i did. why? you're lucky they didn't quote you, lieutenant. -you got another angle, pete? ─ yeah. dave barrett didn't do it. been betting on the dogs lately? well if you mean, is dave a friend of mine, the answer is yes. -then where is he? have you tried his home, jim? stop kidding, pete. he didn't go home all last night. nobody has laid an eye on him since he threatened to kill belden. -who said he threatened belden? frankie edare? about twenty witnesses. all disinterested. all in full possession of their faculties. -quote: "if i ever see you again, i'll kill you." unquote. that doesn't prove anything. this wasn't their first skirmish. belden had been dipping into the till. -dave was pressuring him to pay up. so he whacks him off to make sure he can't collect? does that make sense to you? one thing, you haven't placed him at the scene of the crime. you haven't got a murder weapon. -"yes?" ─ bring bolasny in. "yes, sir." who is bolasny? he runs a hock-shop down on 3rd street. sit over here, mr bolasny. -mr bolasny, this sergeant carroll. tell him what you told me. i don't want to make any trouble for mr barrett, lieutenant. just because he bought a shotgun from me. when? -yesterday evening. i was just closing the shop when he came in. how do you know it was barrett? sometimes i bet at the dog races. so i look in the sporting pages for the winners. -i saw mr barrett's picture there many times. were the lights on when he came in? excuse me? you were closing up the shop. did you turn off some of the lights? -i don't understand. you could be mistaken. it was dark in there. could you be sure that the man was barrett? yes, i'm sure. -thank you, mr bolasny. you can go now. why a shotgun? it did the job. i think somebody was gunning for frankie and they got the wrong guy. -frankie thinks somebody was gunning for both of them. and he thinks that somebody was barrett. you're going to have to pick up barrett. you know that don't you. yeah, i guess so. -lieutenant walsh. well hold on. stick around, pete. when was he picked up? on what charge? -take him to the interrogation room. they've got barrett in a cell downstairs. picked him early this morning on suspicion of grand theft auto. dave barrett, a car thief? why, that's the wildest one yet. -hey pete. ─ yeah, mort? we've got the guy that did that hit and run last night. it's the car thief they're holding downstairs. what? -─ yeah. exhibit "a". fragment of glass from the scene of the accident. exhibit "b". fragment of glass from a light on the stolen car. -yeah, it's a perfect fit. also, bloodstains from the fender of the stolen car match the victim's blood. the same type and a rare one. anything else? ─ yeah. -the victim's watch stopped at 12:31. good work, mort. say, would you get to work on that buckshot they got out of belden. sure, pete. you got troubles, i'd say. -what troubles? she presses the charges. i plead guilty and get a suspended sentence. the chances are she won't though, after i .. you get some pretty girls in your bastille, pete. -look, i didn't steal that car. ─ forget about the car for a minute. let's talk about lou belden. why? because i've got to find out who killed him. -that's why. lou, killed? about two hours after you threatened to kill him. frankie was with him. lou wasn't much good but .. -i say the wrong man got it. hey, wait a minute. they don't think i did it, do they? no. not anymore. -that hit-and-run you did alibis you. hit-and-run? look sarge .. stop talking like a detective and give it to me straight, will you. alright. -you ran down that old man at approximately 12:30. you couldn't have driven from the scene of the accident in time to kill belden. but i didn't run down any .. hey, wait a minute. how good is the frame for the belden killing? -it's very good so far. if i know frankie edare it will improve as time goes on. come on dave, let's go. miss warren. do you know this man? -no. did you ever see him before? never. miss ferranti, have you ever seen this man? no. -now then miss warren, according to your statement, you .. left the domino restaurant around midnight and drove to your office. it might have been earlier. certainly no later. twelve o'clock then? -give or take ten minutes? that's right. how long did it take you to drive from your restaurant to your office? five or six minutes. there was very little traffic at that time. -do you ordinarily leave the keys in your car? it's .. it was a bad habit of mine. then you didn't notice the car was missing until you telephoned the police? that's correct. -thank you, miss warren. that's all. now then, barrett. we're holding you for grand theft auto, pending investigation of the hit-and-run. if the man dies, you'll be charged with manslaughter. -but i .. i don't understand. you mean .. that this man or whoever stole my car .. he did it alright. how dreadful. -and you? she's the victim's daughter, miss warren. i'm sorry. i .. i feel sort-of responsible. -you see, if .. i hadn't left my keys in my car .. doctor ferranti is still alive, miss warren. when he tells his story it will change a lot of things. i know that merger is not going to happen. -but the time to sell is just before it doesn't happen. do you agree? good. then we'll hold on a little longer. excuse me. -yes, mary? "there is a mr barrett out here." who? "a mr david barrett." "he says it's important." -alright, i'll see him. excuse me mr harrison, i'll have to call you back. don't be frightened, miss warren. i didn't break out of jail. they let me out on bail. -i'm not frightened. merely puzzled. puzzled? what about? i don't understand how a man like you would steal a car. -oh, i'm just an ordinary run-of-the-mill car thief. don't talk nonsense. not with me. well, i didn't really steal it. i just borrowed it because i .. -because i needed it. but i didn't .. didn't run down that man? ─ no. but i'm going to find out who did. -good. and what do you want of me? well. you can say why you told the police your car was stolen in front of this building. because it was. -not by me. i picked it up in a gas station on the other side of town. but that's impossible. that's right. but it's true. -i don't know why mr barrett, but .. i'm inclined to believe you. thank you. let's keep that our secret for the time being. but if you are innocent ..? -i want them to think i'm guilty for a while. now i am really puzzled. i'm supposed to have been in the act of murdering a man named belden. at the time ferranti was struck down. murder? -i didn't do it. the only way i can prove that i didn't. is to let them think i am the man who really ran ferranti down in your car. mr barrett. i hope you won't think me unsympathetic. -but you must understand my livelihood depends on my client's confidence in me. it would be fatal if they thought i had a thing to do with a suspected murderer. and a proven car thief. after all, your problems are not of my making. do you understand? -quite. these then are the facts. you wilfully and feloniously quit the scene of the accident .. with wanton disregard for the life of the injured man. in violation of the laws and statutes of this state. -can you say this is an correct statement of the facts in this case, mr barrett? as far as it goes, yes. anything you would care to add to it at this time? no. any specific objections? -let's get this over with. just a moment, captain. yes, mr mitchell? the district attorney doesn't want barrett charged at this time. we have a full confession here, waiting to be signed. -alright, barrett. you're free to go. ─ hey, wait. what's your hurry, mitchell? you could have called my office, barrett. -i haven't time to talk to you just now. maybe you'd better take time. it's all very simple. we just don't want you to perjure yourself. the d.a. has pledged to protect the innocent as well as punish the guilty. -you know as well as i do, you didn't run down ferranti what makes you so sure? because you were on the other side of town on your way to murder belden. you really think you can prove that? we've got twenty witness to testify that you threatened belden's life. -we got a witness who says you bought a shotgun. belden was murdered with a shotgun. have you found the shotgun? we will. what are you doing here? -naturally, i'm interested. what are you going to do now? well, they'll have a rough time finding the guy who really did that hit-and-run. otherwise, there is a guy named frankie edare who would have found him by now. frankie doesn't like my using it as an alibi any more than the d.a. does. -and while they're looking for him. i've got to find a way to stay out of the electric chair. well, there is nothing you can do about it for the next hour or so, is there. i thought you wanted to stay out of this whole business. i did. -but watching you just now, i had tobelievein yourinnocence. and i want to help. and besides .. ─ yes? i'm hungry. -good evening. ─ good evening. may i come in? ─ of course. thank you. -i'll tell you how it is, miss warren. the district attorney is pressing us to get dave off of that hit-and-run charge. but i thought you were david's friend. i'm also a policeman. and being a policeman comes first? -even if it means having your friend convicted of murder? ferranti's watch stopped at the time of the accident. 12:31. you reported your car stolen at 12:45. but i told you i didn't know what time it was. -i reported it to the police as soon as i missed it. after the accident? why don't you come out and say what you're thinking? alright. dave is not a car thief. -edare was out to get him. he stole your car to make a getaway. he didn't even know about the hit-and-run until i told him. therefore, he must have picked up the car someplace else. after someone else had ditched it. -i suppose it's possible, but i still don't see .. ─ miss warren. what would you say the odds are on a car being stolen twice in one hour? i've never computed them. hello jessica. sorry i'm late. -say, what's going on here? miss warren will tell you all about it, dave. wait a minute, pete. i want to talk to you. alright. -my colleagues down at headquarters have just torn your apartment to pieces. in a last ditch effort to find that gun that killed belden. they've got orders to search everything. whose brainstorm is this? the district attorney. -he figures all needs to nail you for that killing is the shotgun. yeah? how do you figure it? that depends on where we find the gun. goodnight, miss warren. -goodnight, dave. pete. jessica. what is it? i feel terrible. -you look beautiful. sergeant carroll thinks i ran down that poor man. did he say that? not in so many words. he suspects me. -jessica. look at me. did you do it? no. i didn't. -that's good enough for me. and what about you? i've got an out when i need it. i was in a taxi at the time and i know the driver's name. then why haven't ..? -he can also place me within shooting distance of belden. that's why i'm saving him until i need him. are you sure he'll recognize you? he'll recognize me alright. i tipped him twenty dollars and his name is mcnab. -you don't seem very pleased. i am. really i am but .. don't you see that when you're clear they'll come right back at me? jessica .. -listen to me. i never thought i would be standing here in my right mind. two sets of bloodhounds on my trail for .. two crimes i didn't commit. i'm not minding very much when you look at me the way you are right now. -david. you've got nothing to be afraid of. stop worrying. promise? no. -trust me. i can handle people. the thing that bothers me is .. do i know how to handle you. yes ma'am, what can i do for you? -─ i'm looking for a driver named mcnab. mcnab? everybody is looking for mcnab, so mcnab turned his cab in last friday and he never came back. i tried to call him but he'd moved out. -he had left no forwarding address. that's all i know. would "everybody" mean mr frank edare? frank edare? you mean the big wheel? -i would make it worth your while if you could find mr mcnab for me. if i do, where can i reach you? i'll telephone you. paddy gorin. i want to talk to frankie edare. -miss warren. yes? i'm frank edare. yes? you and i have a few things to talk over, miss warren. -what on earth could you and i possibly have to talk of, mr edare? shall i go into detail? not here. care to go for a drive? you're quite a girl, jessica. -thank you. oh don't worry. i wasn't about to make a pass. that's very kind of you. don't get me wrong. -i'd like to. but with me, business comes first. you know, we've got an awful lot in common, jessica. oh? ─ hmm. -such as a powerful itch, to locate a character named mcnab. mcnab? ah don't be cute. like i say, we both want mcnab. you want him to clear your boyfriend of that hit-and-run. -oh it's okay with me. i like it that way. once he's clear of that. i've got all the evidence it takes to send him up for the belden murder. he didn't kill belden and you know it. -he didn't pull that hit-and-run. ─ he .. you say something? ─ no. i get it. -an insurance policy. ─ don't know what you're talking about. stupid me. i thought you were betting on the wrong horse. and all the time you want barrett sent up for that hit-and-run, don't you. -you want mcnab kept quiet don't you. ─ did i say that? oh you don't have to. ah jessica, you and i are going to do business together yet. watch and see. -that depends on which of us finds mcnab first. no matter who finds him first, he's mine. if you want to stay pretty and stay in business .. you'd better make a note of that. you must have a lot of money in that greyhound track. -oh, it's not the money. i just don't like people that get in my way. mr edare. if david were convicted of manslaughter, he would be out of your way for years. wouldn't that be enough? -that old man might just recover. you ever thought of that? he hasn't regained consciousness. they don't expect him to last the night. oh. -no. i prefer capital punishment. it's so nice and permanent. it's getting chilly. don't you think we ought to be going back? -let's change places, sweetheart. i don't trust your driving. miss warren's apartment? ─ that's right. this is marked "personal". -─ oh, just put it there, please. thank you. yes? some flowers just arrived for you, miss warren. ─ how nice. shall i put them in water? -─ please. is miss warren in? ─ yes, she is mr barrett. i'll call her. thank you. -it's alright, alba. what a nice surprise. i thought you might like to go to the races on this lovely afternoon. i'd love to. it will take me a moment to get dressed. -oh, your flowers just arrived. what are they, roses? your guess is as good as mine. what does it mean, david? pete? -i'm at jessica warren's apartment. someone just sent her a shotgun. hold it. jim. ─ "yeah, pete?" -anyone sent in a tip on the belden murder gun? yeah, anonymous. said we'd find it in jessica warren's apartment. probably some crackpot, but i'm sending over a couple of men just in case. well hold them. -i'll handle it. hello, dave? ─ "yes, pete?" i'll be right over. is this what it came in? -─ yes. i'm afraid i'll have to take you down town, miss warren. we'll have to make a full report on this. look, pete .. it's such an obvious plant. what's to be gained by dragging her name through the headlines. -maybe putting her out of business. just to make something official that you already know. sorry dave, but i have to. the book says you have to. what do you say? -miss warren, if you wire me a signed statement .. i promise not to use it unless i absolutely have to. is that fair enough? it's more than fair, sergeant carroll. thank you. -that's alright. bye, miss warren. see you, dave. say, dave. call me at the office in the morning. -i've got an idea. ─ okay. goodbye. ─ bye. thank you, david. good morning, pop. -why do you always come here? ─ oh. already, i got enough trouble because of you. what's eating you? ─ what's eating me, you ask. -you stay here all day. the police spy on me at night. i'm followed everywhere. we love you, popsie. we don't want nothing should happen to you. -hey, you got anything to read back there? here's a newspaper. ─ thanks. this is a foreign newspaper. you think i'm illiterate? -i'm sorry. excuse me, please. that's okay, pop. i got some magazines out in the car. what can i do for you? -─ can i sell a gun here? maybe. i buy guns in good condition. where did you get this? you sold it to me last friday evening. -who are you? you knew me well enough to identify me to the police. what do you want, mr barrett? are you sure that's the gun you sold me? yes. -who really bought that shotgun, mr bolasny? look. i don't want to make troubles for anybody. who bought it? you did, mr barrett. -─ you'd swear to that? i talked to the police and .. ─ tell me, bolasny. i'm the one you talk to at headquarters. look .. -i don't see too good. in two visits you can't see enough to identify anybody. is that true, bolasny? look, i don't know who bought the shotgun. it was one of frankie edare's boys, wasn't it? -was it vince brady? now look, i run a little business. all the names are in my books. you can see for yourself. i'm not interested in your books, bolasny. -look in the back. maybe you'll find it there. in the back. look in the back. look in the back. -well, now what? the state just lost a murder suspect. but you've got other problems, haven't you. yes, mary? "a mr edare is on the phone." -alright. i'll talk to him. hello. hello, jessica? i've got a hot flash for you. -your boyfriend has been cleared of that murder charge. are you sure? "sure i'm sure." well then, you won't be sending me any more presents. stop kidding around. -we're partners now. i've decided to play things your way. my way? ─ "sure." "send him over for that hit-and-run." -have you found mcnab? no, not yet. but barrett will be turning this town upside down looking for him now. now here's what i want you to do. get barrett out of town, see. -then .. ─ "mr edare." mr edare. ─ "yes?" i thought we were going to play this my way. -now you listen to me! my way, mr edare. okay. keep me posted, will you. vince. -yeah, frankie? i got a job for you. tail the warren dame. i got a hunch she might lead you to mcnab. after i find him, how do you want him? -quiet. that's all. just quiet. it's very kind of you, mrs weems. it's all in a day's work, mr barrett. -thanks a lot. hello? "honey, i'm sorry. i'm afraid we'll have to break our date this afternoon." oh, but i'm all ready. -and i miss you. ─ "me too." "something important has come up." ─ what is it? i think i've found mcnab. hello? -jessica? yes. but hold on a minute. there is someone on the other phone. hello. -"yes?" david. this is very important for you. please let me go with you. i can be of help. -i am a good salesman, you know. you don't have to sell me. the address is 203 north 7th. got it? yes. -i'll be there in ten minutes. mrs mcnab? ─ yes. my name is barrett. is your husband at home? -no he isn't. he's out of the city at .. ─ can we come in, please? are you from the police? ─ no, mrs mcnab. -mr barrett is accused of an awful crime. your husband can help prove him innocent. oh, i see. won't you come in. ─ thank you. -please sit down. i was .. i was just about to make some coffee. would you like some? no thank you. -─ i'd like a cup, please. alright. excuse me. i guess we'll have to wait. they say a watched pot never boils. -you'll have to excuse the condition of the apartment. since johnny left, i seem .. to be too nervous to do much of anything. is your husband really out of the city, mrs mcnab? i wish i knew, mr barrett. tuesday he went to the unemployment place and .. -he never came home. never telephoned, nothing. have you notified the police? oh, i couldn't do that. ─ why not? -well. he might have just gone off on a drunk. and if i'd put the police on him and that's all it was, well .. he'd never speak to me again. i don't think your husband is just out on a drunk, mrs mcnab. -what have you heard? is he in some kind of trouble? you should know that. what have you heard, mr barrett? what is it? -did you hear about a man who was run over last friday night? are you trying to get johnny mixed up in that? is that why you're trying to find him? well, no wonder he didn't come home. no, mrs mcnab. -that's not why we're here. let me, david. why should i talk to you? i don't even know who you are. ─ my name is jessica warren. -i'm in the investment banking business. you have to be trustworthy when you handle other people's money. don't you think, mrs mcnab? oh, excuse me. imagine .. a lady banker. -handling all that money. my, my. sure you won't have a cup, mr barrett? the talk of money seems to cheer you up a good bit, mrs mcnab. you will have to accept my apologies. -i'm not really suspicious by nature. it's just that i've been under such a strain this past week. mrs mcnab. are you sure there is nothing you can do to help us find your husband? well if i knew, i would have found him myself. -but if he were off on "a drunk" as you said. isn't there some bar that he might go to? well .. there is one near here. "the nugget". but they haven't seen him. -thank you, mrs mcnab. i'm sure everything will work out for the best. thank you, miss warren. good luck, mr barrett. they've gone. -how did they track us down, i wonder. i'm glad they did. ─ why? how is a thousand dollars for a reason? a thousand bucks? -when a woman shoves that in your pocket, she's got something to hide. well. i didn't know i had a guest. my father is dead. dead? -i'm terribly sorry. sorry? an old man who loved his life. such a gentle old man. and you say you're sorry? -─ look. i didn't do it. and i can prove it. i'm sure you can. a big man like you. -with money and influence and important friends. but who is going to worry about professor ferranti? he had no influence. no friends. but a few students who loved him. -but i .. i won't forget. you'll be punished for what you've done. i swear to it, if it takes me the rest of my life. i shouldn't have come here. -listen to me .. please. sit down. there is a murder. now somebody might want you for a witness, but .. keep quiet. a guy is charged with hit-and-run. -you know he didn't do it as he's sitting in the back of your cab at the time. but shush .. keep quiet. maybe he'll beat the rap anyway. and .. and the next thing i hear, the .. -the hit-and-run victim is dead. that makes it .. manslaughter. for that poor innocent slob who was sat in the back of your cab at the time. i thought you said we should mind our own business. i've got to live with my conscience, ruthie. -well live with it then, if you prefer it to me. don't talk like that, ruthie. no. don't you talk like that. okay .. okay, ruthie -i think i'll take a walk. ─ where? maybe i'll stop in at the nugget for a drink. no, johnny. you've had enough. -no. stay here. i'll bring you a couple of containers of beer. how's that? i gotta have a drink, ruthie. -alright. i'll go to the liquor store for you. come on, now. there's one down on 2nd street. now. -you just sit down and .. relax. listen to some music. i'll take the bus. i'll be back dear, before you know it. -mr barrett, if you have finished what you had to say to me, i will .. hello? speaking. who's this? speak up, i can't .. -"this is johnny mcnab." i've got to talk to you, mr barrett. i'm in my apartment .. well. going out or just slipping into something more comfortable? -you know, i don't think dave is going to be in much of a party mood tonight. somebody stuck a knife in his alibi. you mean mcnab? yeah. that was dave's last chance. -you're in the clear, baby. well, aren't you going to thank me? aren't you taking rather a lot for granted? what? i didn't ask for any favors. -i never do any favors, sweetheart. people do favors for me. then you are wasting your time. wasting time is another thing i don't do. you're on my team now, whether you like it or not. -or would you rather explain to the cops .. why you were trying to track down mcnab before dave could get to him? what do you want from me? like i said, with me, business comes first. and with me. -how about dave barrett? strictly business, jessica? goodnight, mr edare. ─ just a minute, you. not so fast. -okay, sweetheart. that's all i wanted to know. for a minute there, i thought you might be going soft. but you're okay, jessica. just stay as sweet as you are. -sorry i'm late. had a few things to do. it's alright .. i'm not dressed yet. come with me while i finish my makeup. -let's have fun. it may be my last chance for a while. what's the matter, david? mcnab telephoned me this evening. mcnab? -yeah. mcnab. but i thought he was .. what? nothing. -i .. i was surprised, that's all. how did you know mcnab was dead? how did you know? i found his body. -it was still warm when i found it. well then, frankie edare was behind it. how do you figure that? he was here tonight. frankie? -yes. i was going to tell you about it later. so much has happened today. so it would seem. david, you don't think that i ..? -─ well, what do you expect me to think? you know about the mcnab killing before the body is cold. and who comes running to you with exclusives? frankie edare. shall i tell you why he came here tonight? -it would be a good idea. the first time i saw frankie edare .. he tried to force me to help him break your alibi for the belden murder. why didn't you tell me about it? why do people usually keep quiet about blackmail? -when was the next time? i didn't give him a flat "no". i told him that i would think about it. i managed to hold him off until .. you were cleared of the murder charge. -that was the last i saw of him until he came here tonight. and tonight? he told me that mcnab was dead. and that you would go up for manslaughter. and he said that if i mentioned anything about our conversations. -or if i tried to help you in any way, he would .. see to it that i went to prison instead of you. go on. he said i'd done him out of one chance at you .. and that he wasn't going to stand still for it again. -and that he seemed to go crazy and .. he started pushing me around and .. calling me horrible names. i'm sorry, jessica. if i'd .. -stay here. i'll take care of it. mrs mcnab. ─ where is miss warren? what is it you want? -─ i'll tell her myself. you killed my husband. you're mad. you killed him just like you stabbed him with your own hand. mrs mcnab, if anyone is to blame, i am. -miss warren was just trying to help me. well then, tell me this, mr barrett. if she wanted to help you find johnny, why did she bribe me to keep quiet? bribe? ─ one thousand dollars. -ten brand-new one-hundred dollar bills. i was frightened, david. frightened for you. i thought if i gave her money she might help us. she's lying, and i can prove it. -here. here is the card she gave me when she handed me the money. tell him nothing. i meant .. i meant tell him nothing about the money. -don't you believe her. was there anything else? yes. you may be taken in, but the police won't be. sending you to prison, miss warren. -won't bring my husband back. but johnny was a good provider. and. you could fix it so in .. in some ways i .. -i wouldn't hardly miss him. do you know the penalty for blackmail in this state, mrs mcnab? david, please. she's overwrought. i'm sorry, mrs mcnab. -i'll do what i can to help. but you must never, never embarrass me like this again. do you understand? yes. i think we understand each other very well. -pardon my curiosity, but exactly what kind of help were you trying to buy me. when you slipped her that thousand dollars? i don't know, really. i .. it was an impulsive gesture. -anyway, what does it matter now? the man is dead. sure he is. so were ferranti and belden. what do you mean by that? -i mean the police are going to ask questions. i'm going to have to know the answers. i want the truth, jessica. alright .. i .. -i tried to keep you from finding mcnab because .. edare said if i didn't, he'd take care of you the way he took care of belden. so you decided to help frankie send me to jail for my own good? you've got to believe me, david. all i ever wanted was to help you. -ever since that first day that you came into my office. why? don't you know? i don't know anything for sure. you know that i love you. -what can i do, david? just tell me. i'll do anything. i don't know. i don't know what to do or think any more. -you're tired, david. your hands are cold. come and sit down. you ran down ferranti. i didn't .. -i didn't! you ran him down, ditched your car and reported it stolen. or did you see me take it? i saw you. i was in the telephone booth reporting myself to the police. -what are we going to do, david? tell the police? ─ no. yes, jessica. ─ is there no other way? -no. how you must hate me. that's not true. i lied to you. betrayed your confidence. -and now i've fallen in love with you. it's too late. if only you'd told me sooner. i was afraid, david. afraid you'd hate me. -i don't hate you. you mean that? ─ yes. i know i don't deserve anything else. but to be left with nothing. -to feel that even my love for you has meant nothing. oh david, i can't bear it. can you forget the other things, just for this evening? and stay with me until .. oh, david. -i'm so afraid. i'll stay, jessica. just as if we were two people in love. who had met in the ordinary way. and have no problems at all. -just as if we were two people in love. period. david. yes? you're not going to turn me in. -are you? no. you're going to turn yourself in. david, no! there's no other way, jessica. -─ there is. i understand. you are quite a girl, jessica. david. doesn't my love mean anything at all to you? -nobody loves a patsy, jessica. least of all, you. thanks, sweetheart. but no thanks david .. -david! i'm giving you until noon to call the police. come in. i .. couldn't sleep. the house is so empty. -yes, i know. i am ashamed. i know you didn't do it. i want to help you. thanks a lot. -but i know who killed your father. who? i can't tell you. but i have the right to know. that's true. -and you still won't tell me? not until tomorrow. i don't understand. ─ well, i .. yes? -david .. have you told anyone yet? no. of course not. can you give me a little more time? two days? -even one might help. why? i can't go through with it. i'm leaving the country. now wait a minute. -listen to me. jessica. i've written a full confession for you. my train leaves in half an hour. the skylark limited. -car 240. drawing room "b". i have to leave. may i ask you one question? sure. -are you in love with jessica warren? hello? this is nina ferranti. "yes, miss ferranti?" jessica warren and david barrett are running away together. -"what?" they are on the skylark limited. it leaves at 3:48. i can't make it. ─ but you've got to stop them. -maybe i can beat the train to clayport. thanks, miss ferranti. who is it? ─ dave. david. -you can't do this, jessica. why not? we can make it. it's no good, baby. but we love each other. -─ it's still no good. well, i tried. at 12:30am on october 26th. i, jessica warren struck and injured emilio ferranti. you won't need this. ─ but .. -─ you're going back with me. we're getting off at clayport. okay, david. you win. can i have a drink? -where's the club car? ─ this way. trust me to know. david. yes? -nothing. hello, dave. shall i tell him now, jessica? or keep him guessing? you know, i've been reading this to pass the time. -it says here a south-bound train passes this one right after we leave clayport. you're going to meet that train, dave. you're a nice girl, jessica. i'm sorry, david. i can't help it. -i made one mistake. i had to blind you david, in a panic. and when i wanted to stop, it was too late because i'm weak. because i .. try that door. -yeah, it will be easy. alright. close it. you want the lady to catch cold? i think i'll go to my compartment. -i think you'd better stay right here. we're slowing down. we must be coming into clayport. hey mitch, opeñ up. get over here and face the wall. -you heard me. move. alright. open it. go on, open it. -hey, mitch. where's mitch? this is his trip off. i'm his relief man. oh. -well, i never saw you before. i know. i'm new. looks as though you're going to have nice company. what? -yeah. i sure love dogs. well, i guess that's it. ─ goodnight. don't you know that can be dangerous? -yeah. i lose a lot of legs that way. carroll. homicide. ─ homicide? -a man and a woman traveling together by the names of barrett and warren. or maybe mr and mrs "b". there is nobody on the list with that name. are they chair cars? ─ all pullman. -taken all the tickets in? ─ not yet. get with it. we'll start at the back. ─ alright. -ticket please. ─ sure. see anything? yeah. there's a light about a mile down the road. -it looks like a signal tower. we're almost there. you want me to stop that? let him yap. this is her stuff. -where is the club car? ─ it's closed for the night. you sure nobody got off at clayport? ─ positive. what's up there? -that's the baggage car. conductor. i'm worried. my dog is in the baggage car and he gets train sick. i can hear him barking. -not through those doors, madam. i'm sure i heard him. alright madam, if it will make you feel any better. answer it. hello? -hello, mitch. this is harry. about that dog you've got in there. is he okay? maybe he's huñgry. -i'll slip him a biscuit. okay. the dog is okay, madam. thank you. what's the matter? -there something funñy in there. that wasn't mitch's voice. let's get him over here. alright, now! david! -jessica .. why? you saved my life. i must love you more than i thought. jessica! t-g -tonight... madam, some of our audience are having difficulty in seeing. would you mind? thank you. on the theory that what was good enough for shakespeare is good enough for us, we plan to open tonight's play with a maid soliloquizing as she dusts. -unfortunately, tonight happens to be the maid's night out. i'm expecting an important call. it must be scotland yard calling. yes? thank you. -it was. they say i am being watched. that's very gratifying for a television performer. tonight's play is entitled "fog closing in. " fog. -i don't suppose any of you are familiar with that word. it's an american expression meaning... well, it's really hard to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced it. the word has no english equivalent. oh, well, it isn't too important. -we'd better go on with the play. no. don't worry, it won't go off. i know how to handle a gun. i don't care. -just put it back in the drawer. you said you'd feel better while i was away if you had a gun. i was wrong. it wouldn't help. what would, mary? -i don't know. i... not being left alone in this enormous old house, i suppose. you're the one who wanted to take it. we could have had that apartment in town. -yes, i suppose we could have. only it was so small. nobody would have been able to stay overnight, let alone... let alone move in permanently. isn't that what you were going to say? -not permanently necessarily, but... the answer is still no. we had your parents with us for five years. do you dislike them so much? i don't dislike them at all. -i just don't want them living with us. and what's more, i'm tired of arguing about it, so let's drop it right now. you think i'm being terribly selfish, don't you? i don't know what you're being, mary. i've almost given up trying to figure you out. -all i know is, i moved out here from the east to get away from your parents, to get you away from them. and you're not going to talk me into bringing them out here and starting the whole thing all over again, and that's final. i'm going downstairs to wait for my cab. you called for a cab, sir? oh, yes, wait just a second, please. -arthur. arthur, i'm... i'm sorry. i... i'm so sorry. -would you wait in the cab? i'll be right out. sure. arthur, i... i don't want to keep the cab waiting, mary. -of course not. i just couldn't let you leave without telling you how sorry i am. okay. let's forget it, now. i don't blame you for being angry with me. -i promised myself i wouldn't bring the subject up again, but then when i realized you'd be gone a whole week, i... mary, i'm a salesman. i have to spend a certain amount of time on the road. yes, i know you do. that's what i meant before. -i wasn't really being selfish. i was thinking about you, too. oh? i know how much it's costing you to keep that house for my parents and... don't you see, if they could come here and live with us, then we'd only have one house to run, and you wouldn't have the expense of paying -mrs. connolly to come and stay with me while you're away and... and you'd be happier. yes, i'd be happier. why? well, i... -i love them, and i miss them, and i'd feel safer if they were here with me. safe from what? what is it you're afraid of? i don't know. well, isn't it about time you found out? -you can't go on being like this for the rest of your life. i don't want to be. but you're away so much. my being away hasn't anything to do with it. you're not any better when i'm here. -you're still afraid. afraid of everything. i don't know how to make you feel safe, mary. i just don't know. it wasn't like this before, when mother and daddy were with us. -you're 35 years old! you can't go on clinging to your parents for the rest of your life. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. honey, don't. -look, i know i sound tough sometimes, but i don't mean to. it's just that i'm trying to help you. but i don't know how. tell me how, mary. tell me what i can do. -you've done everything. i don't know what more you can do. i don't know why you even put up with me. it's because i love you. it's because i want us to have a life together, a good life. -oh, so do i, arthur. i don't know why i'm this way. honestly, i don't. let's do something about it. what can we do? -mary, whatever is wrong, whatever you're afraid of or running away from, it just isn't real. it's something in your mind. so, maybe a psychiatrist... you mean, you think i'm losing my mind? -of course not. i didn't say that. going to a psychiatrist isn't anything today. lots of people go. people who need help because they're troubled. -i can't do it, arthur. please don't ask me to. please. you want to find out, don't you? i'm not... -i'm not sure that i do. maybe it's something terrible. but, mary... you better go. he's getting impatient. -all right. but will you do me a favor? will you at least think about it while i'm gone? yes, i'll think about it. take it easy, huh? -mrs. connolly should be here pretty soon, so you won't have to be alone long. yes, i'll be all right. that's better. the office will know where to reach me, if you need me. oh, incidentally, will you do me one more favor? -i know you'll want to call your father, but will you wait until after 6:00 when the rates go down? yes. our telephone bill last month looked like the national debt. yes, i'll wait. goodbye, arthur. -so long. long distance? operator, could you tell me the difference in the rate to new york city before 6:00 and after 6:00? oh, as much as all that. no, i'd better wait till 6:00. -thank you. hello? oh, hello, mr. connolly. how are you? don't tell me your wife's not coming. -oh. oh, thank heavens. for a minute i was frightened. no, she isn't here yet. is there anything wrong? -you're sure? yes, i'll have her call you as soon as she gets here. goodbye. hello, operator? i'd like to place a call to new york, please. -yes, the number is... oh, you frightened me. how'd you get in here? here, kitty. don't be afraid. -i'm not gonna hurt you. who are you? please let me stay here for a little while, and then i'll go away. i promise you, i'll go away. you're hiding from someone, aren't you? -yeah. police? no. now, please don't ask me any more questions. 'cause i'm not going to hurt you, really i'm not. -if you're not hiding from the police, then you must be from the hospital. the state hospital? i'm not going back there. i'm not gonna go back there. are they trying to make you? -they're gonna be here any minute. they warned everybody. they said i'm dangerous. they said i do terrible things to people, but that's not true. because if i did, i'd remember it. -you can't do things and not remember them, can you? i don't know. oh, i'm so tired. all i wanna do is rest. i've been running for hours and hiding and... -you can't rest standing up in the hall. you better come into the living room. no, i can't. they'll see me through the window. oh, no, they won't. -the blinds are closed. come on. look, you don't need to worry. you can trust me. you won't tell them i'm here when they come, will you? -no, i won't tell them. i know what it's like to be afraid of a place. come on. come on. be careful! -there's no one out there. look, why don't you stretch out and rest? there's no time. they're right behind me. they're gonna be here any minute. -even a few minutes would help. and i'll get you something hot to drink. why are you being so kind to me? i suppose i understand what it's like to be afraid. you know, you're luckier than i am. -you're afraid of being shut up. and i don't even know what i'm afraid of, and it's worse. much worse. there's nothing worse than being shut up. nothing! -oh, but you're wrong. don't you remember what it like was before, before you went into the hospital? you must have been afraid then, even if you didn't know what you were afraid of. i was always afraid of everything, of everybody. and... -what's that? it's just the telephone. i left it off the hook. i... i was calling my mother when i heard you out there in the hall. -oh, that wasn't me. i didn't make any noise. i've been out there for a long time. and i was hardly breathing. and then, that cat got in here. -and i got so scared 'cause she knocked that vase over, and i heard you coming. i didn't know you were going to be like this. i didn't know it, either. you know, it's funny we can talk this way, isn't it? i don't even know your name. -it's ted. ted lambert. mine's mary hadley. oh. now, why did i say that? -it's summers. it used to be mary hadley, before i got married. where's your husband? oh, he's away on a trip, a business trip. he travels a great deal. -then you're all alone? yes, i'm alone. ted, i wanna ask you something. wasn't there ever a time when you felt safe? i don't think so. -oh. then you are worse off than i am. at least i can remember a time when i was. oh, it was a long time ago. i was just a little girl. -you see, then, even if i was frightened of something, it didn't last long. like i remember once i got lost, and a policeman found me and brought me home. i was crying and my daddy put his arms around me. sometimes i can still feel his arms. he said, "don't cry, baby, you're safe now. -"you'll always be safe with mother and me. " and i always was. i always was. well, then why are you afraid? because i'm alone. -and they're not here with me. but your husband... oh, he doesn't understand. he's very kind and good, but he doesn't understand what it's like to be afraid. ted? -i... i wanna tell you something else, something i've never told anyone. you mustn't tell anyone, either. i won't. i promise. -i never wanted to get married. i only did it because my mother and daddy lost all their money. and arthur was so kind and generous, i knew he'd help me take care of them. and i thought they could stay with me, and then everything would go on just the way it always had. -i wish i could take care of you. i wish i could help you. oh, no, i don't think anyone can help me now. i don't think anyone can stop it from happening. i even know where it's going to happen. -because i've dreamt about it, a lot of times. and it's always the same dream. why, i have bad dreams, too. mine's always the same dream. i'm always in my bedroom. -that's what i meant before about saying i understood about being afraid of a place, because i'm afraid of my bedroom. i sometimes think, if i don't go there, it won't have to happen. only that's not really true. how can you remember what you dream? -i can't ever remember. i wake up, and i know i've been dreaming about something and i can't ever remember what it was. i guess because mine's always the same. i'm up there all alone, waiting for something, -and there's a sound downstairs, like a door closing, and there are footsteps on the stairs. they come up very slowly, one at a time, till it reaches the door, and the knob turns, and the door begins to open and... i'd never know what it is, because that's when i always wake up. i wake up screaming. well, they say that dreams don't come true. -oh, yes, mine will. well, maybe not if... they're here! they're here! they're here! -it's all right. i won't let them in. don't be frightened. they're going to make you let them in to search, so they can find out if you're safe. you can hide in the back hall, where you were before, and i'll bring them in here first, and then you can get away. -go on, hurry. hurry. thank you. yes? sorry to bother you, ma'am. -we're from the state hospital. state hospital? yes. one of the patients wandered away and we're looking for him. would you mind if we searched the house to be sure he isn't here? -i don't see how that's possible. well, just to be on the safe side. it's quite all right with me. come in. thanks. -you may as well start in the living room. it's right in here. no place he could hide in this room. i'm sure he's not here. i'll show you the rest of the house now, if you like. -if you wouldn't mind. oh, my cat knocked it over. i just haven't cleaned it up yet. sorry to put you to so much trouble, ma'am, but it was for your own good. i appreciate it. -funny, i was sure when i found that broken lock on the back door that he was here. it was nice of you to fix it. under the circumstances, it wouldn't be very safe to leave it broken. but you're all right now. oh, yes, i'll be fine. -thank you. good night. good night. long distance? i'd like to place a call to new york city, please. -yes, the number is murray hill 30598. thank you. oh, but all the circuits can't be busy. oh, i see. well, will you call me back as soon as you can get through, please? -thank you. oh, here you are. i was worried about you when i heard that man from the hospital was on the loose, so i came back. mary? mary, don't look like that. -it's me, arthur. hello, mary? mary, this is daddy. mary, answer me. are you all right, dear? -yes, daddy. i'm all right now. now, i can come home. this concludes our play for tonight. unhappily for mary summers, however, there is more to her story, for she subsequently found herself in one of those institutions she had come to fear. -next time, we shall be back with another story. until then, good night. good evening, and thank you for peeping in at me tonight. i shall try to make it worth your while. now, if you will look through the keyhole with your other eye.... -excellent. thank you. incidentally, those of you... who think these letters don't spell anything couldn't be more incorrect. the last line was copied from an old insurance policy. now that we are all in focus... -i should like to make a few preparatory remarks about tonight's librette. it is called the creeper... and is about a person who had a very peculiar way... of striking up an acquaintance with women: he killed them. a distinctly antisocial tendency... for it never leads to any lasting friendship. hot, ain't it? -the worst we've had yet. you're the new janitor, aren't you? at your service, mrs. stone. anytime you want anything done... you just yell for old george, and he'll take care of it. "satisfaction guaranteed." that's my motto. -that'll last about a week. then you'll be just like all the others. terrible thing, ain't it? them poor women. they probably asked for it. -decent women don't get themselves murdered. hello. hello, mrs. grant. feeling better? yes, a lot, thanks. -i think it's the heat as much as anything. terrible, isn't it? after a week of this, it's a wonder we're not all sick. paper says there's going to be a storm tonight. that'll break it up a little. -aren't you the new janitor? at your service, ma'am. i wonder if you'd do me a favor. i've been trying for two days to get somebody... to come from the hardware store... and put a bolt and chain on the inside of the door. they've all been pretty busy. -a lot of nervous women in this neighborhood... got the same idea at the same time. but don't you worry, mrs. grant. if anyone bothers you, you just yell for old george, and he'll take care of them. i don't like him. he smiles too much. -your husband gone to work? not yet. why? no reason, but... i should think you'd be afraid to stay alone... so much of the night the way you do. -both of those other women's husbands were on night shifts, too. thanks a lot. you're a big help. i'll come by and see you later, keep you company. window doesn't help much, does it? -it doesn't help these eggs, that's for sure. now, what's the matter with the eggs? they're just no good, that's all. well, they're no different than they are every day. you can say that again. -why you can't do a simple thing... like scramble a couple of eggs, i'll never know. all right, steve, all right. it's hot, and we're both on edge. now, let's drop it, huh? speak for yourself. -just because you... and a lot of other crazy dames in this neighborhood... think they're gonna be murdered... doesn't mean i'm crazy, too, ellen. what's so crazy about it? it could happen, you know. this isn't just one of those things you read in the newspaper. both those women lived about five blocks from here. -so keep the door locked. a kid could open that lock. that's why i want a bolt and chain put on it. all right, get one. get two if it'll make you feel better. -boy. you're in a great mood today. i'm all right. just leave me alone. i didn't saying anything. -ellen, didn't you pick up my other pair of work shoes? i forgot. you forgot. what do you want me to do, work in my bare feet? will you please pick them up? -you haven't got anything else to do. now, you cut that out, steve. it isn't my fault that you didn't get the raise, you know. you just stop picking on me. hell, nobody's picking on you. -you are! you have been. you've been snapping at me ever since you got up. i've been wanting to ask you to do something for me... and i'm afraid to mention it. i don't know what you're talking about. -what do you want from me, ellen? ask them to put you on the day shift. please, steve. please, just for a couple of weeks... until the police catch this guy. are you kidding? -no, i'm not kidding! i'm scared! every time you go out and i'm alone here... i jump at every sound i hear in the hall. what would you like for me to do? -sit and hold your hand? forget it. just finish your supper and forget it. "finish your supper." who's got an appetite with you sitting here yakking? -i'm going to work. and please get the shoes. goodbye, ellen. goodbye. hello, mr. gibbons? -this is ellen grant again. well, yes, i know you're busy... but if you can't come yourself... do you think you could possibly send somebody... who could put a chain on that door? would you? i'd appreciate it. what? -no, i'm feeling better, thank you. just nervous, like everybody else in the neighborhood, i guess. yes, thank you. goodbye. (eilen) who is that? -who is it? (martha) it's only me, mrs. grant. what do you want? nothing. i saw your husband leaving, and... wondered if you wanted me to come over this evening and stay with you. -no, thanks. i'll be all right. thanks. my joe's gonna be working overtime, and.... well, you kind of acted so funny before. -i thought you might be afraid to stay alone, didn't like to say so. but if you're not nervous about it.... of course i'm nervous about it. isn't everybody? aren't you? -no. i have nothing to be nervous about. you don't get murdered without a reason. as a matter of fact, some of the papers said... it might be a woman who killed them. some woman who was jealous... about her husband getting involved with other women. -that's about as silly as all the theories in the newspapers. i don't know. i can't say i blame her if it's true. women like that deserve anything that happens to them. what's the matter? -uh, well... nothing. i have to go out. i didn't know you were well enough to go out. well, it's not far. excuse me, please. -hi, steve. hi, ed. how's things with you? pretty good. you off tonight? -no, no, just having a beer before i go in. how about you? yeah. joe? how's everything in the newspaper racket? -dull. unless our friend here knocks off somebody else pretty soon... he'll be pushed off the front page. you mean the creeper? we're running out of things to say about him. even running out of theories. -next, he'll be running out of women. you think that's real funny, don't you? but ellen's practically hysterical... just like every other woman in the neighborhood. well, they don't have much excitement. have to make the most of something like this. -brother, what a weird sense of humor you've got! "warped" is the word you're looking for. used to bother ellen, too. well, sure! it'd bother anybody. -you know, ed, i don't think either one of us are a bargain... but i think ellen's better off married to me. even if she wouldn't admit it right now. what's the matter, you had a fight? yeah. i got up feeling rough and took it out on her. -this weather. it's hot. it's sticky. what's the matter with it? i kind of like it. -yeah, you would. i guess it's not the weather. i was looking for a raise, and i didn't get it. took it out on her? yeah. -why do we do it, ed? why do we take it out on somebody else? especially someone you love. very simple. simple? -no one else would put up with it. yeah, i guess you're right. don't worry about it. everybody takes out his grudges on somebody else. usually the wrong person. -take our friend here. he takes it out by killing the woman he's got something against. you think they'll catch this guy anywheres near soon? who knows? haven't got much to go on. -about the only connection between those two women was... they were both alone at night, and they were both blonde. what's the matter? nothing. i was just thinking. ellen's alone, and she's blonde. -what are you staring at me like that for? nothing wrong with looking at a pretty woman, is there? would you please get me these shoes? be glad to. did you hear the latest about the creeper? -police seem to think he's a man who works locally around here. could be someone we know. i don't want to hear about it! please get the shoes, i'm in a hurry. all right, all right. -i'm sorry, miss, they're not quite ready yet. what's your address? 224.... what do you need that for? i thought i'd drop them over myself after i close my store. -oh. well... that won't necessary. i'll come back. it's no trouble at all, miss. no, please, don't bother. -really, it's no trouble at all. just don't bother! (george) it's only me, mrs. grant. george. there's nothing to be scared about. -maybe you'll feel better if i give you a little light. there. i'll leave this door open while i put in a new bulb. hello? (mr. gibbons) mrs. grant... this is mr. gibbons at the hardware store. -mr. gibbons? oh, mr. gibbons! yes. i've found a man to put that bolt and chain on for you. but he won't be able to come over right away. -that's all right. whenever he can. whenever.... fine. i'll tell him to make it as soon as possible. -thank you. thank you, i'm very grateful. that's all right. goodbye, now. bye. -hi. i was waiting for you. what's the matter with you? you look like that woman in that story. thought she was locking the murderer out... all the time she was locking him in. -what are you doing here? i came to keep you company. how did you get in? trade secret. newspaper men get in everywhere. -didn't you know that? well, suppose you get yourself out the same way you got in. ellen, now, don't do that. i want to talk to you. we have nothing to talk about. -i think we do. oh, ed, please. i'm nervous, and i'm sick, and i just want to be left alone. that's not safe. this is a dangerous neighborhood... for a woman to be alone in these days. -if you're trying to frighten me, don't bother. i'm frightened enough already. of the creeper? i don't even know anymore. maybe i'm getting sick again. -everything scares me. that poor little shoemaker looked so strange to me. you know, i've got a theory. maybe the creeper isn't strange-iooking at all. i'll bet he's mild and pleasant, just like anyone else. -maybe he even looks just like me. ed, i want you to get out of here! now, is that a friendly way to talk to an old beau? i came to protect you, stay until steve gets home. i don't want you to stay with me! -steve asked me to. i don't believe you. well, it's true just the same. well? what can we do to amuse ourselves? -a little music wouldn't hurt. we might even dance. we used to dance very well together. ed, i don't want to dance. come on, let's dance. -no, let go of me! i want to dance! ed, you're hurting me! you like to hurt people, don't you? i remember how frightened i was the first time i realized that. -is that why you walked out on me? that's one of the reasons. you never bothered to explain, you just walked out. i thought you could probably figure it out for yourself. yeah? -then you were wrong. i couldn't. what were the other reasons? ed, it was two years ago and-- i want to know! all right, i'll tell you if you want to know! -there's something wrong with you, ed. wrong. as a kid, even the games you made up were cruel. if you knew anything about child psychology... you'd know that a lot of kids are basically cruel. yes, but they grow out of it, and you didn't. -maybe that's what's wrong. i never did understand it. i just know that i was afraid of it. i can remember a time when you weren't. i was crazy about you, all right. -that's what made it hard. i knew when i faced it that we'd be finished. yeah? that's funny. there's something i wouldn't face, too. -not for a long time. as a matter of fact, not until just this afternoon. i would never admit, even to myself... that i hated you. i've had a grudge against you ever since you walked out on me. as i was saying to your esteemed husband just this afternoon... sooner or later, you have to take out a grudge. -the creeper does it by killing. did you know that? ed.... ed, i'll scream. i swear i will. -you will? okay. then go ahead: scream! scream your head off. help me! -i'm sorry. i'm sorry, i'm.... stop it. stop it! i didn't mean to hurt you. -ellen, are you all right, honey? i'm sorry. i've waited so long to do this... and now i wish i hadn't done it. i'm sorry, ellen, i'm sorry. (george) mrs. grant? -mrs. grant! yeah? they're complaining about your radio playing so loud. (ed) okay. we'll turn it down. -george, wait. okay, mrs. grant. good night. good night! what was it you wanted, mrs. grant? -wanted.... oh, yes. would you do me a favor? would you go to the corner... to the shoemaker and get my husband's shoes, please? he needs them. -why, sure. sure, mrs. grant. i'd be glad to. you, too! just like all the others. -what do you mean by that? very innocent, aren't you? you ought to be ashamed of yourself. the minute your husband's back is turned... out trying to make a living for you. you don't know what you're talking about. -don't i? i've got eyes in my head, haven't i? but i'd watch my step if i were you, milady. women like you always get what they deserve in the end. you're disgusting! -to the likes of you, maybe. but just remember what happened to those other two. who is it? (george) it's me, mrs. grant. george. -i got your husband's shoes. oh, yes, i forgot. would you just leave them outside the door, please? (george) mrs. grant, somebody's liable to steal them. well, that's all.... -let them. all right. yes? (man) mrs. grant? yes. -mr. gibbons from the hardware store... sent me around to put on a new lock. i thought you'd never get here! well, we're pretty busy, ma'am. yes, yes, i know you are. i'm just so grateful that you're here. -apartment 1a. hello? hello, honey. oh, steve, i'm so glad to hear your voice. you all right? -yeah, yeah, i'm fine. you sound funny. no. no, i'm all right now. i don't know what's been the matter with me. -i'm scared out of my wits, imagining things. talk about being neurotic. no, honey, you're not neurotic. you just haven't been feeling well, that's all. i guess i didn't help things much this afternoon. -i'm sorry. that's all right, honey. it's this heat. it's enough to drive anybody crazy. forgive me? -of course i do. is ed still there? ed. did you send him? well, sure, honey, to keep you company. -keep me company, huh? well, i finally got rid of him. i wished you hadn't have. look, honey, will you be careful? and promise me you won't let anybody in the apartment till i get home, all right? -all right. don't worry, i won't. anyway, it's all right now. the locksmith's here to put the chain on. ellen-- wait a minute, steve. -ellen! hello, ellen! (eilen) come on in, will you? (eilen) i want it put right there. (man) all right, ma'am. -excuse me a minute. i'm talking to my husband on the phone. ellen! ellen.... hello, steve. -honey, who did you just let in the apartment? the locksmith, to put the chain on the door. he finally got here. a locksmith? ellen, didn't you hear the radio broadcast? -what are you talking about? it was just on the radio. the police are looking for a locksmith! honey, they think he's the one that killed those women! ellen! -ellen! ellen, are you there? oh, steve! steve! and so, once again, the creeper commits... the most heinous crime a woman can imagine: -he takes the telephone away from her in the middle of a call. obviously, this sadistic criminal will stop at nothing. for the record, the creeper was subsequently caught... and is now repairing locks at one of our leading penal institutions. if you liked our story, please write in. perhaps we can give you a sequel to the creeper, called: -the toddler. good night. mr. bradford. morning, ed. good morning, mr. bradford. -this one is.

well, you're a very important and probably a very busy man. why don't you return to your business? -i'll look things up and then i'll get... miss dempster, let us understand each other. i've got nothing else to do and nowhere else to be. and i've got a lot of two things. time and money. -and i'll use either one or both. whatever it takes. you know, i could've sent somebody to do this for me. and they would've gone about it quite differently. how? -bought it. bought the records, the court. maybe even this place. maybe even you. what in the world would you do with me? -take you to dinner. how 'bout it? is that the way you got what you wanted? just bought it? better than stealing isn't it? -yes, when it's not the same. i-i'm sorry, i couldn't... uh, one of the nurses is quite ill and... how 'bout having dinner with suzie and me at my house? what time? -seven. i'll be there. oh, you know, uh... i really didn't mean that everything was for sale. i know that. -how do you know that? because i don't think you are. and that, that little girl, she's desperate. she wants her kid. would give anything for it. -you know? so would i. i want mine. oh! come in, mr. bradford. thank you, suzie. -ann isn't here yet. who? miss dempster. she had to go back to the nursery for a while. she said if she wasn't back by 7:30 -we were to go ahead and eat without her. would you care to sit down? mm-hmm. here's the gazette. where are you going? -i have to watch the dinner. i'll watch it with you. well, it's all ready. she must be a very busy woman. she never stops. -something's always coming up and she always has to be there. they called from the nursery tonight. one of the babies was sick. it wasn't anything much and the doctor was already there. -but she had to go anyway. to see for herself, i guess. she's wonderful. you like her, don't you? you don't like her, you shouldn't have been born. -would you like some? hmm. thank you. did, did you come here to adopt? no, no. -tell me about you. i'd like to hear. really i would. well, i-i was going to this private school that's near my home. -mm-hmm. in becker township. in the oil fields, where everybody's so rich, you know. hmm. so i began going with this boy and... -well, our parents... his and mine haven't spoken for years. so we had to meet each other secretly. mm-hmm. you know, make rendezvous. yeah. -then he said he loved me and... he was going in the air force. he was a jet pilot. why didn't you get married? we were going to on his next leave, but... -he never came home. mm-hmm. what about your parents? i couldn't disgrace them. it would've ruined them. -my mother was so... proud and beautiful. and your father? my father? dad was a big business executive. he had hundreds of oil wells -and everybody knew him and looked up to him. hmm. something like you. so, you, uh, you couldn't marry the boy? no, i couldn't. -the montagues and the capulets. hmm? the hatfields and mccoys. oh. suppose we eat and forget, hmm? -i-i guess we might as well. serve it up. suzie, suzie. you've been a long time, a lot of years to get over it. but i won't. -i never will. i should be the one to know it. now, come on, come on. chicken's getting cold. what on earth are you doing? -paying for my supper. where's suzie? sent her to a movie. well, sit down here. food's in the oven. -ah! ooh! put some butter on it. no, it's nothing. do it. -how's the baby? fine. i rocked him to sleep. i was sorry i couldn't get here. was it a good dinner? -the best. ha, she's a nice little girl. suzie? hmm. the welfare bureau called about her today. -they're taking her case to the juvenile court tomorrow at two. what are they gonna do about it? i don't know. what are you gonna do about me? -i've been thinking about that. mm-hmm. and what have you decided? nothing. just like that? -no, i've been thinking hard about it. don't you realize he's a grown man now? nobody you know. don't you know he has parents he loves and respects who raised him and made him what he is? -what is he? a fine young man. go on. he came here once looking for his mother. did you ever look for her? -no. he wasn't looking for you. did he find her? he just wanted to know if she was alright. if, if there was anything he could do. -because of this nice sentimental dream world in which you live you're gonna ask me to forget it and go about my business? i think so. hmm. well, then this i've gotta tell you. -i don't live in a world of dreams and sentiment. and i'm already about my business. and, i may add i've got a reputation for getting my business done. whatever it takes. -and i'll get this done too. i wish you could understand. we couldn't operate the way you want us to. we did it once, we might have to do it again. that might be bad. -it-it just can't be. don't you see? some things you can never pay for. i've never found them. i'm sorry. -well, thanks for the dinner. you've made some mistakes in your time, haven't you? too many. uh, they tell me you need a new dormitory. need it badly. -we do. and it'll take quite a piece of money. like say, fifty or a hundred thousand. well, let's just say it's more than we have. but you want it. -from you? what's the difference? you need it badly. they do too. you'll do anything for them. -you miss your dinner, your sleep. miss your life for them. are you too noble to stoop a little for them? oh, that is neither. you need new buildings, new equipment, new everything. -you're in hot for half of what you've got now. that just isn't it. bye, mr. bradford. not quite. goodnight. -well, it isn't often we have so distinguished a visitor in our town. uh, may i ask how you came to... select me? well, you're the most important lawyer. that's common knowledge. -well, i have practiced here for a long time. and my father, before me. i might go so far as to say... ah, have you gone over the case? case? -hmm. oh, uh, y-yes. certainly. uh, what can you do? well, first... -i cannot avoid wondering if you are pursuing the proper logic, uh, in this matter. price is no object. as i quite understand. uh, but you see, this boy was legally adopted years ago. -and by now, presumably, has made his own life. i've been told that by amateurs. yes. well, there is actually no way of successfully reopening such a case without applying to the superior court. -and i, personally, am exceedingly dubious... you're dubious? yes, under the circumstances. you're dubious that you can do anything? nothing. -why? is... does it look excessively bulbous? he's got the nose. he's got the nose under his mask. -right. nobody move or i shoot your president. come on. we're getting outta here. don't come near me, or he gets it right between the eyes. -he'll do it. he'll do it. i've seen him shoot a nose. please. please, be careful. -you don't realise you're dealing with one of the greatest minds you've seen. yeah. and his isn't so bad either. yeah. don't come near us. -get outta here now. he's bluffing. he wouldn't shoot the nose. bluffing, am i? ok, clowns. -you asked for it. i can't believe it. we actually did it. an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and a nose for a nose. whatever it means, it sounds brilliant. -you were absolutely wonderful. just think. erno's plan worked. what do you mean, erno's plan? what was i through all of that? -what do you mean? it was erno's plan. look, i cannot discuss erno with you. i'm getting a hostility ache, and a migraine headache now. i haven't seen my analyst in 200 years. -he was a strict freudian and if i'd been going all this time, i'd almost be cured by now. miles. erno's going to lead the revolution and head the new government. don't you understand? -in six months, we'll be stealing erno's nose. political solutions don't work. it doesn't matter who's up there. they're all terrible... what are you looking at me like that for? -i think you really love me. of course i love you. this is what this is all about. and you love me. i know that. -and i don't blame you, honey. and i'm not knocking erno. he's great if you happen to like a tall, blond, prussian, nordic, aryan, nazi type. but, miles, meaningful relationships between men and women don't last. that was proven by science. -you see, there's a chemical in our bodies that makes us get on each other's nerves sooner or later. that's science. i don't believe in science. science is an intellectual dead end. it's a lot of guys in tweed suits, cutting up frogs on foundation grants and... -i see. you don't believe in science. and you also don't believe that political systems work and you don't believe in god, huh? right. so, then... what do you believe in? -sex and death. two things that come once in a lifetime. but at least after death you're not nauseous. everything's on for tonight ? yes. -i still think it's too soon to bring him up. we have no choice. agon thinks they're onto us. i programmed the c.l.c. for two hours tonight. there's no telling when he'll be available again. -we'll have to move him... if he comes up successfully, otherwise, we should be prepared to dispose of him the usual way. please state registration code. check. where was the subject found ? -we came across it the last day of our field trip into the woods a week ago. the capsule was perfectly intact. is there a date on the capsule ? oh, yes. the subject was frozen in 1973, -which means he's been under for 200 years. blood pressure. 140 over 50. encephalo-activity ? just under normal. -general life functions... acceptable. he should be coming out of it any moment. do we have any information on him ? just the usual data card inside the capsule and the personal artifacts here. -hmm. the subject was 35 years old at time of initial cryogenic emergent. his name... miles monroe. under occupation it says he was part owner... of the happy carrot health food restaurant on bleecker street, wherever that was. -also a clarinet player with something called the ragtime rascals. was his emergent voluntary ? hmm. according to this, "subject entered hospital for routine exploration of minor peptic ulcer... -and complications set in." the patient never regained consciousness. he was admitted for cryogenic emergent by his cousin, a mrs. joan needlebaum. the physical damage was repaired. -yeah. totally. routine. we're getting an initial motor response over here. this is the critical stage now. -if his consciousness isn't handled carefully, there could be damaging trauma. remember, we're dealing with an involuntary subject who expects to be waking up... in st. vincent's hospital in greenwich village in 1973. -swallow reflex is almost there. we've got to get him out of here. he's not ready. we've got to get him ambulatory whether he's ready or not. careful ! -we've got to dispose of this capsule. when he's ready, get him to the farm. we'll meet there tonight. yes. there we go ! -now, let's try to take a step. like this. one. up it comes. take a step. -look at me. up, down. that's it. there you are. good. -very good, mr. monroe ! good, good. up, down. no, he's got it in reverse. -oh, you're going the wrong way. mr. monroe ! no, the other way ! there we go. whoa ! -oh, mr. monroe ! please, mr. monroe, wake up ! we've got to get him dressed quickly. -okay, stand. right there. stand, stand. stay there. that way. -that's it. ah, mr. monroe. here we are. oh ! -sorry to bother you, doctor. is everything okay ? uh, yes. we ought to be through here shortly. that's funny. -we're getting a misread on the power function. really ? well, i'll order a check first thing in the morning. any reason why anyone else would be consuming power ? no, it's just dr. orva, dr. monroe and myself. -we definitely did register a power increase here. uh, don't mind dr. monroe. he, he, he-- oh. he's not over the effects of a new ray we've been experimenting with. uh, what's this ? -oh, that. uh-- i think you two better come along with us. but why ? we haven't done anything. -i think i can explain. you've heard of the venus project, haven't you ? yes. well-- uh, we had to come in here this evening to finish some very important work. -now when we asked for clearance, we were given no reason to believe that we couldn't-- do you have authorization ? yes, we have clearance. we came through channels fully a week ago. gentlemen. -this really is getting-- gentlemen, he's convulsing. it could be dangerous. please, please leave us alone so that we can complete our work. do we have-- he's going to get dizzy now. this is going to be worse. -we're in total agreement. can't you see what a difficult-- i think the experiment is getting a little out of hand. if we hadn't had this interruption, we'd have had it under control some time ago. are you sure you have authorization for your experiment ? -well, he's fully recovered, except for a few minor kinks. has he asked for anything special ? yes, this morning for breakfast. he requested something called wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk. -those were the charmed substances... that some years ago were felt to contain life-preserving properties. you mean there was no deep fat ? no steak or cream pies or hot fudge ? those were thought to be unhealthy, -precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true. incredible. well, he wants to know where he is... and what's going on. i think it's time to tell him. -i can't believe this ! my doctor said i'd be up and on my feet in five days. he was off by 199 years. i know it's hard, miles, but try to think of this experience as a miracle of science. a miracle of science is going to the hospital for a minor operation, -i come out the next day, my rent isn't 2,000 months overdue. that's a miracle of science. this is what i call a cosmic screwing. and then where am i anyhow ? what happened to everybody ? -where are all my friends ? you must understand that everyone you knew in the past has been dead nearly 200 years. but they all ate organic rice. you are now in the year 2173. now this is the central parallel of the american federation. -this district is what you'd probably call the southwestern united states. that was before it was destroyed by the war. war ? yes. according to history, -over 100 years ago, a man named albert shanker got a hold of a nuclear warhead. you will remain in hiding here for two weeks while we run a battery of tests on you. then, when we think you've fully recovered your strength, we'll discuss the plan-- i still can't believe this. what do you mean, "hiding" ? -who am i hiding from ? what did she mean, "hiding" ? well, you might as well know, miles, that reviving you as we did was in strict opposition to government policy. what we've done is highly illegal, miles, -and if we get caught, we'll be destroyed, along with you. what do you mean, "destroyed" ? what do you mean, "destroyed" ? your brain will be electronically simplified. my brain ? -that's my second favorite organ. resisters to mind reprogramming will be exterminated, for the good of the state. what kind of government you guys got here ? this is worse than california. there is a growing underground, miles. -and some day the revolution will come when we can overthrow our great leader. look, you gotta be kidding. i wanna go back to sleep. if i don't get at least 600 years, i'm grouchy all day. we're taking him along too fast. -he's still emotionally unstable. i can't believe this. i go into the hospital for a lousy ulcer operation. i lay in a bird's-eye wrapper 200 years, i wake up, suddenly i'm on the ten most wanted list. -he's ranting. we'd better tranquilize him. i knew it was too good to be true. i parked right near the hospital. here. -you smoke this, and be sure you get the smoke deep down into your lungs. i don't smoke. it's tobacco. it's one of the healthiest things for your body. now go ahead. -you need all the strength you can get. you know, i bought polaroid at seven. it's probably up millions by now. now we have certain artifacts here... which we date from 1950 to 2000. -we'd like any information you can give us on them. very little exists. for instance. uh, this was joseph stalin. he was a communist. -i was not too crazy about him. he had a bad moustache, a lot of bad habits. this is bela lugosi. he was the mayor of new york city for a while. you can see what it did to him there. -this is, uh-- this is, uh-- uh, charles de gaulle. he was a very famous french chef. had his own tv show. showed you how to make souffles and omelets and everything. -this is, uh, scott fitzgerald over here. a very romantic writer. big with english majors, college girls, you know, nymphomaniacs. uh, very well known. -this is chiang kai-shek, who i was not too crazy about either. this is billy graham-- very big in the religion business. you know ? he knew god personally. they got him his complete wardrobe. -they used to go out on double dates together. he was very big. they were romantically linked for a while. this is some girls burning a brassiere. you notice it's a very small fire. -um, this-- i don't know what that is. that's a photograph of norman mailer. he was a very great writer. he donated his ego to the harvard medical school for study. and this, uh-- this i can tell you-- -this is a centerfold from a magazine we used to callplayboy. which, um-- these girls didn't exist in actual life, you know ? they were rubberized. you had to blow them up. and then you'd fasten it. -and you could spread ointment on them or anything else that you-- i'll just take this and, you know, study it later and give you a full report on it. uh, and, um, would you tell me exactly what this is ? this. -this is-- you see, this is-- this is the chattering teeth. and this you would buy at a store, and you'd take it to a party if you wanted to get big laughs. and you'd put it down on a coffee table or something, you know ? and you'd set it off. -and then, uh-- you see how funny it is ? the teeth chatter. they're plastic. i am going, at this time, -to give to this tv and radio audience-- some of us have a theory that he might once have been a president of the united states, but that he did something horrendous... so that all records, everything was wiped out about him. there is nothing in history books. -there are no pictures on stamps or money. yes, he actually was president of the united states, but whenever he used to leave the white house, the secret service used to count the silverware. thank you very much, jimmy. -from the beginning, muhammad ali's career... was marked by controversy, and who knows ? it may have ended last saturday in the very same way. from the beginning-- at first we didn't know exactly what this was, but we've developed a theory. we feel that when citizens in your society were guilty of a crime against the state, -they were forced to watch this. remember the way it began ? march of 1964. that's where it really began. yes, that's exactly what that was. -would you like some more ? mm, this stuff tastes awful. i could have made a fortune selling it in my health food store. janis, some more for mr. monroe. -certainly, sir. are you thirsty, mr. monroe ? me ? no. -no, thank you. of course. these robots are uncanny. they're one of our biggest industries here. infinitely more sophisticated than any previously manufactured labor-saving devices. -they're plastic. yeah, i know. but they're alert and they respond. you know, i've gone out with girls who had less movement than that. watch this. -janis, come here. yes, dr. orva. may i be of service to you ? tell us about yourself. my name is janis 414. -i'm a domestic service menial of the 400 series. i can cook, clean. i am a butler, a gardener and chauffeur. i have been programmed to respond to a complex series of domestic commands. clear the table and leave the room. -we'd like to be alone. come on, miles. are there female robots ?

big doctor. eyes, ear, nose and throat. please, may we ? may we, doctor, please ? -nice work. that's a bad break. they think we're someone else. i know. if we'd followed erno's instructions, everything'd be okay. -i don't wanna hear about erno anymore. that's the only thing that makes me s-stutter. it's always erno. i'm tired of hearing about him. no more erno. -shut up, shut up, shut up ! all right. for obvious reasons of security. but now aires day is here. i realize that what i'm about to say will come as a great shock. -however, i'm counting on you to respond appropriately. ten months ago, our leader suffered a horrible accident... when a bomb, planted in his home by members of the underground, exploded. naturally, it was kept quiet. but since then, we have virtually been a leaderless society. -unfortunately, preparations for a successor... have never been adequately clear. in short, we have been in the throes of a major crisis. as for our leader, the emergency department rushed to the scene of the accident immediately, -but all that remained of him was this. this is our leader's nose. using great presence of mind, we rushed the nose to our closest delta laboratory which is here... where, through massive biochemical effort, -it has been kept alive for nearly a year. our dream has been that by cloning, we would reduplicate the entire leader again. cloning, for those of you unfamiliar with biology, is a process by which using one single cell, -a duplicate of the person it came from could be formed. till now we've only had limited experimental success. but all efforts have been directed to cloning over the past ten months. and now we feel confident we can reproduce our leader... in perfect tact from his nose. -gentlemen, with god's help, in a couple of hours, we will have our leader back. and we will then coordinate aires phase two... which will exterminate all dissident factions on signal... from our reborn leader. -miles, it's a nose. yes, i know. i was right here. what are we gonna do ? radio erno immediately. -now is the time to strike. the leader is suffering from a terrific handicap. he has no head or body. we're not fully prepared. it doesn't matter. -they're in a state of chaos. if we strike quick, we got 'em. okay, give me the radio. i dropped the radio. you dropped the radio ? -it fell out of my pocket when i was hanging outside. fell out of your pocket-- will you stop repeating everything i say ? will you stop repeating everything i say ? get a grip on yourself. -we gotta stop 'em. there's only one way. we gotta steal the nose. how ? uh, i don't know. -i never stole an organ before. wait a minute ! i got an idea. the nose is in the operating chamber. right. -we go to the floor below, cut a hole in the ceiling... big enough to slide through, come up under the nose and hide it under my coat. it's a stupid plan. there's no chance. what's wrong ? -because it's too subtle. we have no time for that. we're dressed like doctors. we go into the operating room. you create a diversion, and i'll steal the nose. -great ! ooh. miles, i'm scared. take it easy, will you ? you took some skin there. -here. what is that ? a table lighter ? you gave it to me from melik's. before they captured you. -where have you been hiding it ? don't tell me. ooh. the trick in these situations is to remain cool. miles, you're biting my nails. -'cause you're tense. we're here to see the nose. i heard it was running. dr. temkin, we're ready on this end. you don't mind if some of our younger people... -who are not involved in genetic programming just observe ? no. not at all. i like to be watched while i clone. the more the merrier. -i never- i never-- never clone alone. so nice to see you. i'm bio-central computer 2100, series g. i'll be assisting you through the entire process. -may i say, doctor, we're all aware of your reputation... and we look forward to a successful and rewarding cloning procedure. this is my-- my assistant. d-d-dr. spock. -janis. j-j-j-janis. dr. spock. dr. spanis. dr. spanish. -dr. snot. dr. slavish. i better have a look at the patient. oh, wow. it's in a lot worse shape than i thought. -better lay off armenian women. you can see the coded medical history on readout four. i believe that this is going to be a... very difficult croning job. oh, yes. -cloning, you idiot, not croning. cloning ! we're ready to proceed. uh-- hmm. after looking at the nose, -i get the feeling that what we ought to do perhaps is postpone the cloning. excuse me, doctor, but that would be a tragic mistake. see, i think what the computer is failing to take into account... is what i call the pinocchio factor, which states that the square root of the proboscis... -is equal to the sum of the sinuses... over seven. well, what is your opinion, doctor ? should we proceed with the cloning or should we postpone ? ah, indeed. -i, uh-- one moment. a moment. a medical moment. yes. well, uh-- -yes, i believe that we should go ahead with the cloning. go ahead with the-- excuse me. i have to have a conference with the doctor. doctor, for a second if you'll just come over here. i just wanna speak to you about that. -what do you mean go ahead with the cloning ? what are we supposed to do ? i don't know how to clone a nose. you're crazy ! doctor, please proceed. -you stop it. get a grip on yourself. of course i'm glad you put it to me in that fashion. and now if you'll let me have the lobster fork, please. what you have here-- i diagnosed the entire situation, -and i think what we've got, what we're dealing with basically is a nose. i think we're all in aggreance on that. i have the little beggar right here. and what you want basically is a whole entire person... connected to that nose, right ? otherwise, you'd get your money back. -now, did you want me to leave room for a moustache, 'cause there's a nice area in there which it'll-- it's, um-- what-- it's clever. she's clever. -what the doctor is doing here-- we're placing down the garments, 'cause we're gonna clone. we're gonna make an attempt to clone the patient directly into his suit. and that way, he'll be completely dressed at the end of the operation. it's a first in cloning, and then we could all just get the hell out of here. we don't have to hang around the clothing room while he suits up. -i think it's time to check the cell structure. suggest it's-- checking the cell structure. checking the cell structure ! ah, checking the cell structure. checking... -the cell structure. checking the cell structure. checking the cell structure. checking the cell structure. and now the cell structure has been checked. -i thank you so much. and now i'll just take my mask, if you don't mind, and i'll strap it on to my face. and if you'll excuse me for one second... while i give the patient a quick nostrilectomy. -uh, this is it. keep your fingers crossed. something's going wrong. there's been a current break in the life-support system. pardon me ? -under my mask ? nothing. why ? is-- does-- does it look excessively bulbous ? he's got the nose. -he's got the nose under his mask. he's got the nose. quick ! quickly ! all right, nobody move or i shoot your president. -all right, come on. we're getting out of here. don't come near me. i'm warning you, or he gets it right between the eyes. he'll do it. -i've seen him shoot a nose. please, please, please be careful. you don't realize that you've been dealing... with one of the greatest minds you've ever seen. yeah, and his isn't so bad either. -yeah. don't come near us. all right. get out of here now. he's bluffing. -he wouldn't shoot the nose. bluffing, am i ? okay, clowns, you asked for it. miles, i can't believe it. i cannot believe that we actually did it. -an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and a nose for a nose. i don't know what the hell that means, but it sounds brilliant. oh, miles, you were absolutely wonderful. just think. erno's plan worked. -what do you mean erno's plan ? what was i through all of that ? what do you mean you ? it was erno's plan ? look, i cannot get into this discussion about erno with you. -i'm getting a hostility ache, and i'm-- a migraine headache now. and i haven't seen my analyst in 200 years. and he was a strict freudian. and if i'd been going all this time, i'd probably almost be cured by now. miles, erno's going to lead the revolution and head the new government. -look, don't you understand ? in six months, we'll be stealing erno's nose. political solutions don't work. i told you that. it doesn't matter who's up there. -they're all terrible. the political men-- what are you looking at me like that for ? i think you really love me. of course i love you. this is what-- this is what this is all about. -and you love me. i know that. and i don't blame you, honey. you know, i- i- -i-- and i'm not knocking erno. he's great if you happen to like... a tall, blonde prussian, nordic, aryan nazi type. but, miles, meaningful relationships between men and women don't last. that was proven by science. -you see, there's a chemical in our bodies... that makes it all so that we all get on each other's nerves sooner or later. hey, that's science. i don't believe in science. you know, science is an intellectual dead end. -you know, it's a lot of guys in tweed suits cutting up frogs... on foundation grants and-- oh, i see. you don't believe in science. and you also don't believe that the political systems work. -and you don't believe in god, huh ? right. so then, what do you believe in ? sex and death. two things that come once in my lifetime. -but at least after death you're not nauseous. my wife, a body for love. may i have the pleasure? so...can i hope? a serious attempt. -it's not true. i admit my error. no excuses. madam, please forgive me! please madam, be my lover, i beg you! -you won't regret it leave your husband, and live with me for all eternity! eternity is too long, and sadly, you're already my husband. shall we make love? as your husband or as your lover? good morning, doctor. -how are the shares? they've gone up, you were right. good. have you sent the car? yes, your honour. -good. ...excuse me, your honour. an important telegram, lions have word of a big closure... sell. ... -your honour, sell? yes, we'll sell immediately. if you say so! we've almost made it, eh? okay, put her on. -ciao simona... yes, i'm working, here in the office. i know. you don't need to say. of course, but don't ask me when i'm here, otherwise... -like that, eh? but i want to see you. i could come and indulge you! ciao! fine, a kiss from me. -i'll see you later. you're in shape, good shape... but nothing more than a body. look, it's so simple can't you try to understand... wait, i'll check the light. -yes. change. look, what i'm trying to say is is that you're afraid to accept others. other people. turn around. -wait, from the other side. and now from the shoulders, open the robe out wide... lean to the right, towards the light. you're boring! offensive and even out of fashion. -so, to you i'm just a body then? i recommend your fashion! still, you make a living out of fashion. you're intellectual and i'm just an idiot. ...idiot, frivolous, naive and superficial! -and you know what i say? i'm perfectly happy with how i am the opposite of you. exactly that. life seems to just tickle you. you never see the really important things in life. -i still get my kicks. listen, try to keep up with me without changing the subject... that's good. put on the other dress. i love you, but i'm a woman and this is an obstacle for you... -simona, it doesn't matter if i'm a woman, believe me. you should treat me like a man then. you see? you never understand anything. you look at me like a lover and then talk like that? -does that seem reasonable? are you incoherent? completely! and you know it well, you're just afraid to admit it. no, you're deluded. -i have to go now. oh well then, it's your style to leave discussions unfinished. after all this is a form of denial like any other. ciao! go to hell! -fool. dear mr sellers... finally, i can congratulate you for your outstanding work on wall street. i have to admit, your theories on stock control have interested me... and this is one of the reasons i have asked to work with you... you're very young. -well, yes. unfortunately. in our field it's not considered a good thing to be under 40. that will change with time. of the rest, it's difficult to express objective aims of operational maturity. -don't you think? in your last correspondence to the london stock exchange, you affirmed that the relation between the dollar and european countries would create in america a quantative type of euro-dollar... i don't fully agree. yes, and i heard you rightly criticised my theory with an interesting argument of validity, that believes there was a reciprocal integration. of course, i'm very optimistic about this point. -your contract with upera had expired, right? yes, of course. which means i can lay my roots where i want. you'll soon see how favourable this terrain is. your honour, i can get a taxi! -don't worry about it. it's no hassle, don't worry about it. okay then, i accept your act of kindness. paolo! come, i'll introduce you to my wife. -simona! marco! my great ex-love! my ex-fiance! my unforgetable first love. -you disappeared for six years and now all this hurry to see me... you're the usual pain. i only came because paolo is busy and i was bored. right! you're always so faithful to your husband. -actually, you're gotten worse. oh, how you still love me! presumptuous! who do you think you are? marco, what a nightmare it was to be with you. -now, i am happy. whoever is happy, is bored. still tormenting me? you don't know how to do anything else. ah! -pussycat simona just wants to be stroked, right! of course, don't kid yourself. even i'm asking myself what i am doing here. why did you come then? you could've gone to the cinema, a friend even? -no marco! you'll never make me happy again. i can defend myself... i've learned. i love paolo a lot and i've overtaken you. -'we' have overtaken you. try not to forget it. so many warnings! why do you talk to me like this? i've got no intention of upsetting you. -...you continue to be so irritating. but now, there's no more danger. let's enjoy this beautiful day... we both have our lives. we won't talk about it again. -you've even become a liar! no. more sincere. you have an easy life. we'll meet tomorrow at the harbour. -certainly. and on time, okay! ciao! ciao. ciao marco, i'm sorry i'm late. -...paolo? he left at the last moment for milan... we tried to contact you. you insisted so much on this trip... well, here i am! -it's such a lovely day it would be shame to waste it. i want to see if you are still the highly formidable diver i knew? a bit less... you know what we're doing? we'll go to the island. -you forget... we were born together? you start the engine. at your service captain! visibilty, perfect! no, no. -don't move! i wanted to see you. you haven't changed at all. hey, marco! have i changed then? -not even a little. liar! ...with my short hair? you don't even remember how i was. simona! -i've almost finished. straight or with ice? what? whiskey, straight or with ice? with ice -you've changed your taste. what did you say? i'm rediscovering you! you used to have the ice crushed into small pieces, remember? you would keep it in your mouth, making your tongue cold and let the whiskey run over. -you still want it like that? no. i think i'll work well with paolo. i like him... even if i disagree with all of his methods. he's got it together. -he's the right man for you. yesterday, i was thinking, trying to decide what it is about you... you seem to hate responsibility and work... and paolo helps you avoid it! were you listening to me? oh, i feel great. -after some sun and cold water, it feels delightful! why didn't you bathe with me? the sea is splendid. you can see deep down. it's been ages since i've seen water so clean. -i don't want to swim today, i feel lazy. do you really like this life? in a different way not like before. i can tell. listen marco, don't get carried away. -a kiss is a kiss and nothing more! let's go to the island. how i detest you more than before! don't drown. come inside, come on! -race you to the island! it doesn't count! you started before me! last to arrive is a liar! you're a liar. -it's not true! i arrived first. liar. the most beautiful liar in the world! get me some fruit, i'm hungry...so hungry -nice idea! fresh fruit for the lady! marco... i have to defend myself... i won't fall for him... -simona wants a peaceful life... simona is well here too well. ...too well. ...and that's everything. then i met you again. -be quiet, don't speak. i'll tell you everything i can read it here. so, alice hated herself a lot. but she didn't know if she was tired, or if she wanted more margerita's... when all of a sudden a rabbit came running up beside her... -"it's late... it's late! and i'm terribly late..." and so, alice fell asleep and returned to her amazing wonderland. can you bring the lotion, please! -i don't love you anymore marco. ...i don't love you anymore. i just have a desire...to see him. i'm sure, i'm sure marco. i still feel you love me. -it's not true! what do you think? that i'm still the same woman as before? or that i'm now the bored wife of a rich husband? paolo knew you would come on to me, so he gave me a present! -i understood that part. but admit it! then why did you want me? because you're beautiful and do you want to know the truth? you don't love paolo. -it's all an act with you. if you loved paolo you wouldn't have made love to me. understand? fool! you don't love anyone and paolo is playing with you! -because even he knows... you don't care about anything at all and he's scared of losing his capital. well? it was exactly as you thought it would be. how did it go? -a magnificent day and a fabulous indignation. paolo, i don't understand you... was it your idea? of course. i knew a while ago. -i didn't think you would have given it much importance. it wasn't important, believe me. you're wrong! this is what i'm trying to tell you. ...it was the first time after five years of marriage. -what really amazes me is that jones fell so early. paolo, what are you saying? yes, that's how it is. don't believe it happened because it was marco. no, no. -i assure you i know it would have happened with whoever was there. you are a very sensual lady who really enjoys making love. it's perfectly natural to have these desires... why don't you reply? ...something wrong? -what's happening to you? nothing... i'm just a little tired. paolo you're strange. i don't understand and i am scared. -it's like you're trying to say that i am an animal? but how? is this what you think? i'm restoring in you the ability to love me without fear. can you wait in the lounge. -yes, thanks. well... let's admit it's how you say it is that it's true. what did he ever do to you? who will i be? -what will i do to keep going? it's simple, believe me. i know you'll have other experiences. other experiences? shall we dance? -our love is particular. you are putting it in danger because you can't accept an incident. an 'incident'? that incident with marco becomes an issue only if we isolate it! i know you don't love me anymore. -i love you more than before. it's because of this that i see you from further away... how i see others escaping in hypocrisy. we are adults simona. i offer you the love of an adult. -why must we close our eyes to human nature! or lose ourselves. your life, your wishes must also be mine... only mine! we are superior in every sense. -i want more from you... i want to decide your escapades... the joy of being with others so different. i understand well what it means to be sensual in an extra-marital way... the only thing that worries me is that you really are upset... -or you are acting? i don't want to lose you. i love you. i want you so much, my love. this one could be the first... -paolo! why not? my dear friend paolo, you're off track! it's not the game i'm disputing... but rather the bravura of the players. -one of the pleasures of the game is not knowing the limits or .resources. things like that are unforgetable. you have to agree that the essence of the game isn't to understand the adversary. i have the exact calculation of his intelligence...but his capacities are destined to work to my advantage. i can lose a hundred rounds, but i still win the game. -to orchestrate the loss, ...means to conduct the game. this is important. above all when the stakes are high. it's a position of great jealousy when you are conducting at 'any cost'? you're mistaken. -the only emotion that's valid is curiosity. if we close our eyes to all that is good in the world all that remains is tragedy and suicide. if we try to step outside the restrictions of our emotions you become master of yourself. and this is the human condition. excuse me. -you want something more, right? not exactly. for you i'm just skin. you think so? just skin. -hang that stuff up. you see it's not so simple... or at least it's not always. you think you could end it so easily with me? i have many beautiful girls. -but none like you. thanks, you're too kind. for your pleasure we can even do it together and pretend we're alone. or pretend we're together while we are alone? i'd like it to be together. -especially with you! so...you don't want me? not like that. but we can still play a little. you think so? -don't move. we can play a great game! with him? why not? you're technique is perfect for a game. -two young women...a young man. we can explore different avenues... me the observer... you the collectionist, and the dog that he is. a moment! -lift up your arms. i'm coming. simona? i came because i need to speak to you. come in. -what's wrong? i need you. since when? my ideas are confused i don't understand anything anymore. poor pussycat simona! -coming from you, this is a miracle. when did you start thinking clearly? don't joke around. my husband... has given you another 'special' permit? -or are you here on your own initiative? quiet marco, i beg you. maybe you're right. don't be evil. i know, pussycat simona wants to be stroked. -marco, i'm scared. scared? i'm getting carried away. i want to ask you something? but you must tell me if you love me? -i beg you! tell me. what does it matter? it's you who needs to know who you love. ...and why? -i hate you! i love paolo. you're like one of those timid types. so tell me, come on! tell me. -i'm curious. don't think about seducing me, i'm already in love. with who? with you. liar. -big liar... you love someone else... good morning, how can i help you? i want to see some ties. do you have any preferences? -sometimes, but not today. i was hoping that you would take the initiative today. and he didn't understand, he was really naughty. and then at a certain point i got scared about losing the client... with the thought of not missing out an occassion. and in that time, i had the desire... -more than anything to have some fun with him, ...mess him around a little. and then i had an idea, not an original one, mind. my resources were always valid ones i broke form when i asked to see the rugs! and finally, he threw himself in. such vigour...such determination! -what technical skills! you're colour is magnificent, it's something i'll always remember. i love you, i love you. come in. i requested the jefferson files, they'll bring everything by tomorrow. -is the appointment with the lawyer tomorrow in your office? no, it's not in my office. i'll meet him in court tomorrow. your wife left a message, she said be home by 8 and don't be late. if you don't need me i'll go. -yes, go. goodnight. how much? okay...20,000 (lira) where are we? -what a strange smell. the smell of leather! don't you like it? no what are you? -a cobbler? this is my world. all of my collection, i've been collecting for years. who are you? the baron of st. clemente. -and you're not a whore? i am a whore and you are the baron. listen, i'm commited to horses and you aren't a fighting breed you're a pedigree and you do well for yourself. where are you escaping to? i'll find you! -now you can't escape anymore. i saw you! i'm coming! i'm all yours. the first prize! -excuse me, but something has happened... something... an experience like no other. something incredible. i am a horse, not a woman. -a pedigree black horse, a marvelous little horse and you know how much i cost? 20,000 lira too much! what does that mean? i'm sorry. -simona, i i didn't expect this. certainly, it's an experience like any other. ...it's taken me by surprise. i didn't realise you had interests like that but it's better. no. what have you understood? -i really didn't have other intentions it happened like that. i understand that for you it was a joke, maybe. how was it? tell me. come on, the important thing is that you're better... -if you don't want to? ...leave it. you really don't have to worry. you're an inpenetrable woman. you really don't want to say? -if someone here is mad, it's you! before you get upset, you can be my curious accomplice... where are you going? simona, wait for me. come here. -you know something? making love to you is fantastic. you feel free... free! queen of the world. -how much will you pay for a night? 100...200? i don't want anything from you... anything! rescue me! -rescue me! i have always known it was just a matter of time. i knew you would have come. you should have helped? it would have served no purpose. -he doesn't love you? who do we love? you need courage for this type of love. don't ask for anything. when you want everything. -it's like that, right? now i understand. theres's a catch... you've got to promise to help me get rid of paolo. promise me...? -no, simona. you must do it yourself. is that you marco? i knew that simona was with you. don't worry. -you clearly haven't understood how things are. it's not important. i just wanted to invite you to dinner this evening. of course! with me and simona. -is eight okay? i'll see you at the fountain. no marco! it's not true. but it is. -all these years? it's absurd. a romantic who is out of touch, eh? but no, i'm not really this knight in shining armour... no. -i continued to love you after, but i knew if i let you go you'd grow. i played your game, paolo? something special to drink. we have the chateu 1959. it's excellent. -after this great meal, i trust your judgment completely. marco, listen. your great romance with christina. how did it end? you two were so inseperable i couldn't stand it anymore! -it was never anything deep with christina. we were like friends... we worked well together, and we could talk about anything... philosophy, art...we just wasted our time away. she divided the bed... -you and marco go well together. i've only understood it now. i understand why it didn't work out. i don't think so. for me, people have a manner that escapes reason there are no 'perfect' relationships. -just relationships. everything else is a game. and you can tell the difference? i don't think it's important to establish a difference. as you see, the most level headed is simona... -and now a toast. not always does this dillema exist. between a 'game' and a relationship they can always decide between them. understood? so, marco. -you believe these games can also work in a relationship? i've always been the strongest. i who decided, and i who have won! i who conduct the game. simona allows herself to be free. -her beauty is her indolence and sweet abandon. her life as it is must always be full of moments of abandon. resistance is hard work and relationships change...they end... but if you play the game it's passionate, difficult... you need to be able to see it from a distance... -don't get too close. stay detached... a little inside...a little out. participate, yes. but only as part of a game. -it's like that, believe me. participate as if it's a game. in summary, it's not dangerous just fun! it's too hot. i want to sleep. -you can sleep well if you are predisposed to sleep. and fantasy is not so far removed from truth... it's all fantastical. you think so? only fools take it seriously. -this may be true for men, but not for women! what do you know about simona? you haven't seen what i've seen. you only know her skin, her superficiality... maybe i'm wrong about you? -you aren't intelligent, no. if only you understood. it's me who controls here. it was me who wanted you... you were the missing element in the game to make it perfect. -you're just flesh. get that into your head marco. simona loves me! poor romeo! imbecile. -i am awake, i am awake. i am awake. they are dead. i killed them. i killed them. -can you hear me? can you hear me? subtitled by mogweezer for cinemageddon. 12th feb 2008 the hunchback of the morgue -damned imbecile, can't you play another tune? you're boring us! leave him alone hudo, he doesn't know another one bravo hudo! listen, would you be able to take on beer like you do women? -you don't think i'm afraid of a scholar like you, right? waitress, bring four of the big ones, my treat take heart oh brave one, time for the second cup good for hudo! hurrah! -don't leave hudo i'm very sorry, but i have to go stay hudo, you can still drink more beer i'm very sleepy don't leave -so long champ leave him alone hudo you damned hunchback, i'm drunk and you're trying to rob me? get out of here you abortion of satan, your toad's face makes my stomach turn -all of my love to hudo ilse your skin is very pale hudo, you no longer have that tan coloring that women liked how proud you were of your beauty how you laughed at my curved back. -you didn't think your end would be as a pile of carrion in the hands of inept students you like how i cut you to pieces? ...and the cretin thought we'd get married hey gorilla, leave that pile of trash there, we'll bring it in you know that professor orla doesn't want you in vivisection chamber, get out! -you know the students have a special predilection for your mandrill's face please professor, i've also written the results of the latest analysis dr. tauchner, please go to the director's office don't worry ilse, you'll be able to go back to the country soon -continue with the same medication, and give her liver extract as well very well take heart her temperature won't drop and she coughs continuously it's logical, the lungs are practically torn apart -she's very sick, isn't she doctor? there's no solution these will surely be her last days thank you gotho why do you cry? -i'm not crying yes, you're crying for hudo, but he died thinking of you i know that he carried your photograph in his wallet you're very kind. you do everything you can to console me -i'm so alone that i don't know what would become of me without your visits do you really want me to come to see you? yes gotho, you're the only one that remembers me, the only person i can talk to from now on i'll come every day. i'll bring you flowers, you like them, right? -very much. it's been so long since i've seen the countryside come. sit at my side and talk to me i'll close my eyes, i'll see the things you tell me about, everything i used to like and have lost forever -don't say that monkey faced hunchback! hunchback! madman! get up -come with me, i'll take care of you at home i'm alright, you shouldn't go out of your way no you're not, that wound is very deep, but don't worry, i'm a doctor and will cure you no, it's alright now, and besides i have to go back to the hospital -i didn't know you were in a hurry. are you going to visit someone? yes, a young girl who's very sick, but i know she will get better i'd be very happy if that happened. do you like this girl? -i don't know. she played with me as a child, everyone else said i scared them time went by, and when i heard she was in the hospital i went to see her but she must have family, someone to look after her no, her parents have died, i'm the only one who remembers her -you're very kind gotho, i'm sure she's grateful what's her name? ilse ilse. that's a very pretty name -well, there we are. it was nothing, you'll be better tomorrow if that's not the case come and see me you've been very kind to me i... -this way you won't catch a cold take me by the roses gotho i'm very happy. i wouldn't mind if these were my last moments you shouldn't say that, i think you're alright -if the professor let you out it's because you're getting better let's not fool ourselves. i know my life is near it's end the professor knows that going out to the garden can't hurt me much you shouldn't have done that, it's forbidden -what do i care? there's nothing that isn't forbidden for me don't think like that gotho there are many people that appreciate you, myself among them these roses are my last joy -if i could have a bouquet every day... you'll have it enough. i see that i'll have to separate you and inform dr. meyer of this situation come with me marlene -you can tell your superior that he'll get the completed cerebral anatomy revision tomorrow he's very interested, i've never seen him so impatient by the way, you still haven't explained what sort of work you're doing the secrecy shouldn't surprise you, orla doesn't want it to reach the university staff -i don't know... there's something about orla that bothers me dr. meyer eva and marlene were... well, i separated them i suppose you remember elke, she was a student of yours. -now she's my assistant she's too kind with the patients, but she has an extraordinary gift for psychiatry. this is professor tauchner, my fiance a pleasure enchanted -oh sweet princess of the apes, your servant gotho, loveliest of the hunchbacked gorillas, renders tribute to your beauty, and hopes that your disgusting snout will be full of the aroma of these roses don't make fun of her or i'll kill you! enough, stop it. you should be ashamed, you could have killed him fortunately he's coming round. -help me lift him tauchner gotho... these roses are so beautiful... i see... flowers... many flowers... you shouldn't have brought me... so many flowers gotho she just died. -if you had arrived just a moment earlier you would have seen her alive you can stay for a bit if you wish, i have to let the doctor know here's your ilse. prepare her, she's going to be dissected hey ludwig, a gold chain. -ilse doesn't need it anymore, for what they'll give us for it, we can dedicate a few drinks to her eternal rest sleep little one, rest. gotho will guard you while you sleep but now i must leave you for a moment, i must give a bouquet of roses, to someone... who doubted your beauty -hey, more beer! we're dry! what the hell is going on? a face, in the window! you're dreaming, there's no one at the window -come on, stop this foolishness bravo hans well, goodbye everyone, i'm off to bed take care hans, you wouldn't want to bump into the devil on the way take in their aroma,because this will be the last scent in your life -you can't imagine it, it was terrible. both bodies are completely torn apart any clues as to who the killer might be? the person in charge of the morgue, a deformed man by the name of wolfgang gotho,has disappeared, but according to our reports he suffers from mental retardation, -everyone agrees he's very peaceful any indications of his whereabouts? none. there's another significant detail: one of the cadavers that was going to be dissected has disappeared as well, it was the body of a young woman who had recently died -the hunchback was very close to her a new crime has just been discovered a student named hans burgher has been found strangled in his home hans burgher, if i remember right he had a strong argument with gotho this morning -put out a general alarm, we need to find the hunchback as soon as possible sleep little one i should never have left you alone, but no one will be able to bother you here they won't be able to hurt you come in -i'm sorry to disturb you sir, but there are two gentlemen who wish to see you they're police officers let them in yes sir good evening -good evening good evening. to what do i owe the honor of your visit? i suppose you know about the three murders committed last night? yes, of course, it's truly frightening. -but please, sit we thought that maybe you could provide us with some information regarding the matter our suspicions lie on the hunchback who's in charge of the morgue gotho? that's not possible, he wouldn't hurt a fly -nevertheless he's disappeared. if he were innocent he'd have no reason to hide do you have any idea where he could be? not the slightest the death of ilse, that girl he had great affection for, must have deeply disturbed him -i expect he'll appear any time now and everything will be cleared up and now gentlemen, if it doesn't bother you we'll continue this conversation on the way to the hospital. i'm sorry, but work calls what's going on gotho? i need your help -i never would have imagined a place like this no one will be able to find us is that the only entrance? no, there's another that leads to the ruins of the abbey will you really help me professor? -that depends on you gotho. you must do everything i tell you here it is professor i had read some stories about the inquisition's activities in places like this, but i never thought they still existed, much less here professor, ilse is asleep. -i know only you will be able to wake her i promise to do it gotho, but you'll have to help me as well i'll have to move my laboratory underground. it isn't easy to do what you ask, i'll need the proper equipment -i know you'll be able to do it professor, i know you will trust me gotho. and don't leave this place, the police are looking everywhere for you i was naive to think that they'd approve the project, they're just a bunch of scientific mummies and anything that smells of innovation or real science scares them -so the decision is final? absolutely and irrevocably, here, read this as you see, the terms are conclusive. the university staff unanimously agrees to suspend the investigations and expressly forbids us to continue using the hospital facilities it's regrettable but we have no choice but to quit -quit now that we've nearly achieved it? what sort of scientist are you? for the first time in history we have the opportunity to create artificial life and you talk of quitting? i understand your reasons dr. orla, but i doubt another solution exists -it exists, i'm already in the process of moving the laboratory to a secret location i have the help of a person that in spite of his insignificance could be extraordinarily valuable to us secret location? what do you mean? you'll get a chance to see the location tonight, and as to the person, as you must learn it sooner or later, -i'll tell you it's gotho, the hunchback of the morgue gotho? i thought he disappeared he's here, in a safe place will no one will be able to find him or us -i suppose you know that he's accused of three murders of which he's very probably not responsible. and besides, what does it matter to us? the very fact of going on with our experiments places us outside of the law i regret to say i don't agree. -dealing with a murderer doesn't just sicken me, but it can have complications for us gotho isn't a murderer, he's a poor idiot who only attacks when he's injured you may be right, but something tells me we mustn't carry out a project of this sort come tauchner, cast aside those fears tonight we'll go to the meeting place and you'll see i'm right -and now let's go over those amino acid chromatograms i have a great interest in the progress of the metabolism of those isolated organs as you can see, the protein structure remains unaltered i still don't understand where we're going, and yet we're very close to our destination. -it must be underground exactly, the most impregnable of the underground labyrinths we just be at least 25 meters below the surface yes, that's the approximate median depth of these chambers in the beginning they were part of the teutonic knights' fortifications during the crusades -later they were cells and torture chambers for the inquisition it's truly astounding and it's not the first time they've been used since the time of the inquisition. during the war some people, jews mostly,used it as a refuge by god orla, you didn't tell me there was- -that's ilse, a friend of gotho's. she died a few days ago and i've promised to wake her up when will you awaken her professor? soon gotho, very soon professor, i can't understand how you could have promised gotho that that poor girl would come back to life, you know that's impossible -impossible, dr. tauchner, is a word that as a scientist should not exist in your vocabulary nevertheless, i agree, though i don't think that should matter to us but that poor madman trusts you it's obvious that having killed three times he could kill again what will you do to avoid your promise? -everything will be resolved in due time, leave that poor imbecile to me, i can handle him let's be clear tauchner, sometimes science has to travel tortuous paths the end in this case is sufficiently important to justify the means i really don't know what to think -come, come tauchner, cast aside those fears once again. glory awaits us and sooner or later mankind will recognize our labors and will be grateful so that's it, we'll keep going forward, but maria worries me, she's been against this sort of work since the beginning talk to her, there's no one better than you to make her understand our position try to understand, the move to the cave was the only solution -you have no reason to explain, you already know where i stand if i keep helping it's only because of you but not just for me,for our career, for our future. orla's experiments could have hundreds of applications his attempt is useful, and most of all important -important? what isn't important? but this scares me, the work and its unforeseen consequences scare me, and most of all orla scares me, i can't help it he has great defects, i know that, but no one can deny his value yes, he's a great scientist who destroys anything in his way -all the necessities are here and what amazes me is that he did it all himself now look at this careful, don't get close sulphuric acid, i don't understand exactly -we'll use it to destroy the unsuitable anatomic specimens and organic residue come on, there's two more boxes left this is all your doing gotho one day you'll be famous when will you wake up ilse professor? -soon gotho, very soon this isn't my night. damned queen of hearts come on man, you haven't lost that much it's that disgusting smell of corpses that makes me sick -that carrion's been rotting away for nearly two weeks and it's nearly falling apart yes, but we can't do anything of course we can, throw it in the acid tank but we'd have to tell the professor we'd be doing the professor a favor, -he's hinted that himself let's not think about it anymore you two go get it ilse, ilse, your flowers, i cut flowers for you you've killed her. -you've killed her! murderers! you're crazy, she's been dead two weeks! she was the only thing i had! wretches! -no gotho, i beg you! no! it was them! no gotho,no! i'm exhausted, it's been a terrible day -yes, but we're about to achieve it i've observed a sample under a microscope and there's something that unnerves me: it's definitely just a gigantic cell i know it's a single plasmodial cell. the nuclei lie diffused within the protoplasm -and yet it's beginning to differentiate organs. at the current rate of growth the artificial gestation period will only last another week yes, yes, it's evident we've reached the most important period, there's no doubt i'm intrigued by the disappearance of albert and the other two the police interrogated maria and me, they suspect gotho. -i don't know what to think if they disappeared it doesn't matter to us, we no longer need them the less indiscreet witnesses the better our science is already complicated enough without us dealing with domestic problems maria's lateness worries me. -she should be here by now gotho! don't be afraid dr. meyer, i'll take you to the laboratory. please, follow me -now do you understand how absurd your doubts were? we're about to achieve the greatest success in history it's true, the nuclei reproduce at great speed, the protoplasm grows, and what's more the differentiation continues according to my calculations the accelerated embryonic in the artificial system will only last two more days. soon it was take it's final form -perhaps... human so you're saying you're unsure of the experiment's final result so anything could be possible, even something monstrous all scientific investigation is by nature unforeseeable don't be afraid dr. meyer, nothing will happen -i don't know the soluble protein and glucose levels aren't diminishing if the creature refuses these nutrients we'll have to use another if we don't want the cellular growth to halt it will be necessary to use natural organic nutrients we can make sure of it immediately -what's the matter gotho? i've been looking for you everywhere we have a lot of work, you know that professor, i'm grateful for what you've done for me, but- but what? -i don't understand you you see... i don't want to remain here but you had promised to help me it was for ilse professor, only for her, and now... she's dead -you can't do this, the experiments are too far along gotho, i can keep helping you i don't need it, thank you professor i've thought of leaving and turning myself over to the police they'll kill you gotho! -they're looking for you for the murder of the orderlies and what does that matter anymore? without ilse nothing matters you mustn't be sad gotho, you'll have a new ilse, i will create her for you -really professor? she'll be the same? naturally gotho, do you doubt it? no. what must i do? -trust me and help me with everything. tonight you'll go to the morgue there's a fresh cadaver; i need its head halt! halt! -what is this, what's going on? gotho, do you think it's right to come at this hour? miss, i... police, open the door please go on, get in there and don't make a sound. -close the door open up! good evening good evening i'm sorry to bother you but we're chasing a dangerous killer who escaped in front of this house. -have you seen or heard anything? absolutely nothing we advise you to close your windows and keep them closed, the killer can't be far i will. anything else? -no miss, just be careful very well. don't worry good night good night -i don't know why you're helping me, i'm a murderer, they said so i know more about you than you imagine, and i also know why you killed those men, but i don't think you're a murderer. if someone loved me like i know you loved ilse, it would be marvelous you mustn't say that, you mustn't make fun of a poor man like me no one can love me, everyone laughs at me, at my hunch, at my ruined face -i only inspire fear or disgust. no one, not even ilse, could have been happy by my side you're mistaken gotho. sometimes kindness and love can be greater than beauty you're very kind to me ms. elke -you've done a good job gotho. i should extract the brain and then... but i can't wait will you need more cadavers professor? they nearly caught me today -next time we'll acquire the materials more easily, i don't want you in danger you're too important to be risked again you see gotho, how the most insignificant person can be useful to science and mankind? they just have to allow themselves to be led by a true leader -tauchner mustn't learn of this, he wouldn't approve but you need a new ilse, and that requires fresh cadavers professor, it's finished halt, who goes there? professor orla, you? -catch him, don't let him escape i've killed him, he's dead! i didn't mean to do it, i didn't mean to! yes yes, you've killed him, it can't be helped. come now, hurry! -we'll take both bodies. cover the hole as if nothing had happened. go! i didn't mean to, i didn't mean to! no! -the cellular growth has halted once more the creature refuses dead cells it's necessary we feed it live material, do you understand gotho? live material come in please. -sit, the professor will be right with you i fear this visit won't clear up anything i think it will dr. orla was closest to gotho. if we find him we'll have the key to this whole mess -i don't think the latest disappearances and the graverobbings are the hunchback's work i'm not so sure. it could be that they're common thieves in search of jewels but there's something that just doesn't fit hello gentlemen. i'm sorry i've made you wait. -to what do i owe your visit this time? strange things keep happening professor, the latest is the desecration of many graves my partner believes it's just a matter of thieves looking for jewels but the bodies have disappeared too. have you been offered corpses to dissect lately? of course not, the faculty wouldn't allow it. -we have enough at the hospital a business matter like that is against the law, right? sometimes, and forgive the expression dr. orla, scientists pay the law little heed by the way, how is your work progressing well, it's at a complete standstill -hurry gotho, it's about to transform. we have to lock it up quickly hurry up, let's go get out, hurry! it broke the container gotho, it shattered it into a thousand pieces! -we have the new being gotho, and i, orla, am its creator maria, you have to understand, the experiment has been a success dr. orla, for the first time in the history of biology, has created artificial life yes, it was a success, a triumph of science. i've never denied orla's scientific value, -but what is the cost? i don't understand you what do you mean "what is the cost"? you're a scientist and you know it, the cost is sacrifices, sleepless nights, work! and something else fred: -human lives. how many men have died to achieve orla's dream? but he isn't responsible, you know that. it was the work of a madman yes, gotho, who orla protects and deceives so he'll follow his orders -can't you see? orla isn't trying to save mankind or anything besides his own pride or perhaps something else, ambition, it's the ambition to achieve that moves him but he says that thanks to his discoveries many lives can be saved it's not true, and even if it was, you can't save one life by destroying others no, morality must stand above science -it's true, but what can we do? abandon the project i beg you fred. you can't continue this way, all of the hunchback's crimes are really orla's crimes, he's the only one responsible it's true. -for a time he managed to deceive me, but we can't go on with him we'd become accomplices, if we aren't already, of all the horror he's created i'm happy that you've finally understood calm down tauchner, the experiment has been a success don't abandon what could be the greatest triumph of your life -a triumph stained with blood! and what else could i do? how many beings, living and dead, have ended up in that container to fulfill your megalomaniacal desires? gotho, gotho, subdue him! no gotho! -i need him you shouldn't have come gotho, it's very dangerous and i don't want anything to happen to you because of me i had to see you again, but if you want i'll leave right away it's not that gotho, i'm afraid the police will catch you they're looking for you everywhere -i don't understand you,no one has ever concerned themselves over me like that if it wasn't for what you did, i would think you were making fun of me and what is there to make fun of? your physical defects? everyone does it. -only ilse let me be near her, but she never loved me and you, do you still love her? yes. i'm afraid that being here with you now i'm betraying her -i'm sure that if she could see us she wouldn't disapprove dr. meyer, marlene has disappeared her bed is empty, her companions say they haven't seen or heard anything it could be it's a new crime by that hunchback the police are looking for gotho? it couldn't have been him -why are you so sure? i don't know i'm convinced that there's someone hiding behind that poor man in this whole business you could be right. well, i have to go out now. -if by the time i'm back there's no news of marlene we'll inform the police where's tauchner? if it makes you feel better he's very close to you, and perfectly healthy one of my patients has disappeared i know it's your doing and i'm determined to tell the police -at the point where things are, i wouldn't advise it unless your willing to follow my plans i can't allow you to leave these chambers what plans are those? very simple -it's absolutely necessary to have an abundant amount of living human tissue,and for that i've chosen your reformatory the girls in it are trash and no one will miss them besides, you as the director can justify their disappearance if you accept tauchner's life won't be in danger. -if not... but what are you using those girls for? it's best you see for yourself. come it's horrible, it devoured her! -i can explain it didn't take long to learn that the creature had a tendency to develop in the manner of the creatures which it devoured at first i tried to feed it cadavers, but it refused them i wanted to synthesize a humanoid, that's why i had gotho kidnap the girls- fred! -fred! where are you? gotho! and on top of marlene's disappearance now dr. meyer and her fiance are gone as well, that's why i've called you i don't understand why you didn't call us after that girl disappeared, -marlene, was that it? yes. the reason i didn't call you is because of dr. meyer's disappearance she was in charge of filing a report that girl might have simply run away -we'll speak with orla about the disappearance of dr. meyer and her colleague dr. tauchner, since he's assistant he may have news of him as you can see i've also had problems. some strangers robbed me after beating me but i still hadn't had time to let you know so you don't know anything about your assistant? yes, i seem to vaguely recall him talking about a trip to resolve some family matters -it's been several days since i've heard from him do you think dr. meyer might have gone on that trip with him? it's possible. in any case i can't tell you much about her as i hardly know her today i saw your body, it was like ilse's, and soon, very soon you will be like her and gotho will love you forever, forever -it's the most astounding thing imaginable, but it's there it keeps growing and growing but it needs more nourishment, understand gotho? more, more, much more hurry gotho, hurry to the reformatory hurry! -hurry! gotho, you have to help me, me and professor tauchner, you have to help us escape i can't, the professor would be upset. he's been very kind: he'll make a woman like ilse for me -but gotho, how can you- how can you believe that? orla can't do such a thing! listen gotho, don't go, please! listen tauchner, listen for the last time! we're near the greatest discovery in history! -there's something more than biology in this the creature is a primordial, one of the beings that inhabited the earth long before man, it's bloodline is the most ancient in the world! occult books like the necronomicon and old treatises on magic and alchemy are full of references to these sorts of beings, and i, i've given it the opportunity to take shape in this artificial life form! a very interesting story, but one that i'm absolutely not interested in any longer -that creature, though it's only a child, is the bearer of all the secrets of the previous civilizations and it will reveal them to us tauchner! it will reveal them to us. the world at our feet... neither maria nor i will collaborate with you any longer dr. orla, it would be adding mores crimes to the existing ones very well. -then you force me to do it you shall be nourishment for the primordial it's restless. it needs food gotho, it needs food! that scream, in the underground chambers, it's a woman -go get her gotho. go get her! gotho, you wretch! where has that disgusting ape gone? the creature is hungry and if we don't feed it it will destroy us all -hurry, the primordial needs more nourishment no, not her! she was kind to me and she won't die! alright, go for the others -no, not them either, you're the guilty one, you've deceived gotho, i'll kill you! maria! please, elke, we must save her let's go hurry and take elke, the door is about to break -we can't defeat him, he'll kill us both! gotho, where is gotho? translation: turdis april 2010 kung fu 1x06 -the tide as quickly as you can, snatch the pebble from my hand. when you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave. time for you to leave. what do you look for beyond the sea, grasshopper? -that part of me which i know little of. the past out of which i was born. then someday you must seek it. but is it good to seek the past, master po? does it not rob the present? -if a man dwells on the past, then he robs the present. but if a man ignores the past, he may rob the future. the seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past. hold it right there. what do you want here? -is this the houlton ranchstead? it is. and you're trespassing. is daniel caine here? no, who wants to know? -i am his brother. his brother? you don't look like his brother. we are half brothers. i have a letter. -watch it. it was written to my grandfather. my brother writes that he was working on your ranch. he hasn't worked here in months. do you know where i might find him? -his brother, huh? where's your horse? i have no horse. how do you get around? i walk. -do you know where i can find him? in town. he is here? silver dollar saloon. just follow that road right to the main street of town. -he works there. thank you. sheriff boggs? you gotta get over to the silver dollar right away. what are you talking about, amos? -that man caine. remember? you showed me a wanted poster on him a couple of weeks ago. his brother used to work for me. can't say i recollect at the moment, amos. -that man. he's heading for the silver dollar on foot. i sent him, and i'm claiming the reward. you sure? you sure this is the man? -sure i'm sure. i got a real close look at him. i had my rifle pointed right up at his face. take the handbill along with you and see for yourself, if you don't believe me. if you had your rifle on him, why didn't you bring him in? the man's supposed to be dangerous. -it's your job to risk your life, not mine. i'm just after the reward. a mighty interesting point of view, mr. houlton. let me see now. old smith wesson and a colt .44, i guess. -remember, sheriff, he's worth $ 1 0,000 dollars alive only 5 dead. no shooting unless you have to. i don't believe in shooting unless i have to. sheriff. remember, i found him. -the reward is mine. well, we haven't got him yet. but if it is the man, don't worry. you'll get what you deserve. i am looking for daniel caine. -hold it, son. put your hands behind your back. and turn around. it's him, sheriff. i told you it was him. -look at the poster. bring him down here. yeah, i guess it's him. sorry to get in your way, miss lu. we just found ourselves a dangerous culprit. -wanted for murder in china. in china? that's right. same country you come from. i guess they do a lot of killing over there. -no law and order like we got here. the story goes that this one killed hisself one of your emperor's nephews. that's how bad it is. and i caught him, all $ 1 0,000 worth. have yourself a souvenir. -sit down, son. what do we do now? just what the handbill said. wire the chinese consulate, tell them we got their man. sheriff? -when do i get my reward? right now. see, son, it's not that i'm greedy. but he didn't deserve any reward. i did all the dirty work. -to show you how ungreedy i am since you broke loose and killed that poor soul who was only gonna try to help me take you in i'd be willing to settle for the $5000 for you dead. get in! let me help you. are you really wanted by the emperor? yes. -he must want you very badly to value your life at $ 1 0,000. he values my life that he may take pleasure in my death. did you not take pleasure in his nephew's death? i did not take pleasure in it. i would not take pleasure in the death of any man. -rest quietly. i'll find something to unchain you. then i'll tend to your wound later. trust me. good morning, young priests. -where do you journey? to the marketplace to buy food for our temple. i am glad to see that priests have money for food in these trying times. but i have heard reports that there are bandits on the main road today. it would be much wiser if you take the side road at the foot of the hill. -thank you, venerable sir. we will heed your advice. stop! we're from the monastery. please don't! -i do not know your name. su yen lu. in china i am called kwai chang. kwai chang you will remain here in the barn until i return in the morning. su yen. -they took our money, our cart, our clothes. everything we had of value. except that which is irreplaceable, your lives. how did you come to leave the main road? because we were fools. -we trusted a stranger. he was an old man with a kind face and a gentle manner. bring them clothes. ho fong, what lesson have you learned from this? never trust a stranger. -kwai chang, what lesson have you learned from this? to expect the unexpected. ho fong in the morning when you are well and rested you will leave the temple. when shall i return, master kan? to us, never. -you are troubled about your friend, ho fong? i do not understand why he was told to leave and not i when i was equally responsible for trusting the old man. we do not punish for trust. if, while building a house, a carpenter strikes a nail it proves faulty by bending does the carpenter lose faith in all nails and stop building his house? then we are required to trust even if we are often reminded of the existence of evil. -deal with evil through strength. but affirm the good in man through trust. in this way, we are prepared for evil, but we encourage good. and is good our great reward for trusting? in striving for an ideal, we do not seek rewards. -yet trust does sometimes bring with it a great reward... ...even greater than good. what is greater than good? love. good morning, mr. jenkins. -morning. i have this telegram to send to san francisco. how long will it take to arrive there? never. not with this kind of writing, miss lu. -why not? i haven't learned to read chinese yet. i'm sorry. sometimes i forget. that's all right. -why don't you just tell me what it says, and i'll write it. it is to wong ti lu. 7 moon st., san francisco. please come at once. bring help. -okay, it will be there in a couple hours. miss lu, did you hear what happened to amos houlton... ...and sheriff boggs yesterday? no. i told you to stay in the barn. -forgive me. i came into the house to find water and found this. "to my daughter, su yen." are you the daughter of the great poi ming lu? you didn't succeed in killing sheriff boggs. -i had no wish to kill sheriff boggs. you killed mr. houlton. sheriff boggs killed mr. houlton. are you well enough to ride the wagon? yes. -do you know my father's work? your father's words have given great comfort to my thoughts. why is it he no longer writes? it is difficult to write in the emperor's prison. the great poi ming lu in prison? -the emperor does not share your joy of my father's words. to write of freedom, as your father does, is not to bring joy to emperors. yet did not your father say: "those who value freedom most must sometimes choose to lose it"? i am honored to be in the presence of the daughter of so great a man. -be careful of your side. yes. beyond the curve in those rocks is a cave. i have often gone there for solitude in the two years i've lived here. never have i been disturbed. -you'll be safe there. i'll come each morning and bring you whatever is necessary until you're well enough to leave. i'll take the pack if you can take these. i will take the pack. but the wound in your side is serious. -i have two sides, but one fragile friend. how do you come to be here? i was sent by my father just before he was imprisoned by the emperor. you were sent alone? no. -with a brother. our father feared for our safety. is your brother still with you? no. he left after a few short months to find a different kind of life. -he didn't want to stay here with our uncle as a farmer. and where is your uncle? dead. almost six months. and you live there all alone? -i live as i want to live, under the circumstances. who tends the earth on your farm? i do. it is not unpleasant. except for my father's plight, i could be happy here. -can a woman be happy alone? to be alone, without one to love, is a waste of the body. but to be not alone, without one to love, is a waste of the soul. those are your father's words. yes. -they speak my feelings. your father is a very wise man. i have not always understood his words. i must go now. i shall return in the morning. -what do you feel? nothing. what do you feel? uncomfortable. the mind, the body and the spirit are one. -when the body expresses the desires of the mind and the spirit then the body is in tune with nature. the act is pure. and there is no shame. and what is love? love is harmony, even in discord. -good morning, miss lu. i'm sorry. i know i ain't the prettiest sight in the world. but i wanted to see you. what do you want? -i suppose you hear about that murdering varmint getting away from me. killed poor amos. i guess if you knew anything about a man like that, you'd tell me. wouldn't you? wouldn't you, miss lu? -i have nothing to tell you, sheriff boggs. i suppose you think just because old sheriff boggs is long in the tooth that people can do anything they want around here? don't be afraid, miss lu. just wanted to show you i can still do my job. hope that puts your mind at rest. -i know you're capable of great destruction, sheriff boggs. i sure hope you ain't working against me, miss lu. i have always believed in law and justice, sheriff boggs. good. by the way wonder if you can explain this telegram you sent yesterday. -it's addressed to one wong ti lu, san francisco. "please come at once, bring help." you have no right to read that. i've got a right to do anything i choose to preserve law and order. who's wong ti lu? -my brother. if you needed help, why didn't you come to me? sheriff's job. it's a personal matter. yes, i suppose. -anything that keeps you flitting around like a butterfly has got to be mighty personal. got your brother's reply this morning. thought i'd do you a favor and deliver it. aren't you happy to know that your brother's coming in on tomorrow's coach? miss lu. -kwai chang? kwai chang? your face is more beautiful than the sky. kwai chang the fever's broken. dangerous for you here. -they will look for you. dangerous for you. lie quietly. it's all right. we're safe here. -lie quietly. i must go now. su yen. do you wish me to go? no. -i'll be back soon. little nightingale. often i have thought of returning to the farm just for your cooking. what is wrong, little nightingale? come. -wong ti, my brother, i have found a way to bring our father back to us. there is no way to bring our father back. yes, there is! through this man. do you know where to find him? -yes. if we are to go, we have to leave now. there is another man who seeks his presence. then we must leave now. i'll get the wagon. -this is my brother, wong ti. in deference to my sister's wishes these men will not harm you, if you do as you are instructed. why have you done this? for my father. our only hope for his freedom is if the emperor will accept you in exchange. -your father is worthy of better men than i. and you are worthy of better deeds than betrayal. sister, get back. that will not be necessary. i will go with you, if she wishes it so. -tie him. stop! stop. kwai chang, i am determined to free my father even if it means your death or mine. i have given my word, but i will not be bound. -he is too dangerous. he has given his word. his word, to a woman who betrayed him. even to a woman who betrayed him, it is still his word brother. let us go. -the tide is too high. we have to go this way. su yen, throw me the gun! wong ti! wong ti! -wong ti! all right, caine, stand up with your hands in the air or i'll kill her. little nightingale. our father is dead. i came to tell you. -i started to then the reward. so much money. greed. it's all right. it's all right. -and this, too, i must answer for. all that i love now is lost to me. my father, my brother and you. come with me and you will not lose me. love born of betrayal is better lost than lived. -those are your father's words. yes. and i did not always understand them. goodbye. as quickly as you can, snatch the pebble from my hand. -when you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave. walk the rice paper softly as you can. be careful not to tear it. turn around. look at the paper. -when you can walk the rice paper without tearing it then your steps will not be heard. time for you to leave. best this side of the rockies. no, the whole country. i've heard less wind in a blizzard. -you get out your musket. i'm gonna make you a believer. i've got 50 mexican pesos says ezra can shoot this jug off my head at 1 5 paces. all right. one. -two. three. you're walking like an old lady. how do you know how i'm walking? ten. -eleven. twelve. thirteen. fourteen. yankees. -now, you stay behind that line. get out of here. one. two. three. -four. five. six. get out of the way. i counted them right. -thirteen. fourteen. fifteen. now, you stay behind that line. all right. -ezra? ezra? yeah. well? they're back, daddy. -the whole regiment. after all these months. shoot that hog. shoot. daddy? -daddy? daddy! what troubles him? he's got consumption. can you please help me get him to a doctor? -annie, a husband won't be hard to find out here. a short supply of girls makes men blind to any little mistake. we gotta get some meat on those bones. you're eating for two now, you know? i'm fat enough already. -when's the last time you saw a doctor? you're the first. well, from now on, you stay put. i have to drive the wagon. you do, and that baby will be stillborn. -good. and you'll die giving it birth. master? yes, student caine. what is it? -an infant. where did you find it? left to die by the river. you wonder how this can be. hunger is everywhere. -is it better to let the infant die than force it to live? all life is sacred. thus the joining together of man and woman is always honored. apart, there is no life but from such union life may proceed. then life must be always defended. -the thorn defends the rose. it harms only those who would steal the blossom from the plant. daddy, i'm not gonna go back with you. you've got to, annie. i heard what the doctor said. -you take the stagecoach. when you get home you can send samuel to help me. mister, i'm in your debt. no more than the leaf owes the root. in water and sunlight, both grow together. -if you've a mind, you can do me another service. the doctor said somebody ought to take care of annie on the way to the army post till her brother comes. i can't pay you none. i will take her to the army post. he was wearing that around his neck. -was there anything else? he had three stripes, very tall, blond hair. he had a droopy mustache. and his two friends were privates. sergeant. -a good-luck piece from the war. sgt. straight, sir. he fought with cotton and barr from harpers ferry to shiloh. them two are on patrol. you get sgt. straight. -yes, sir. well, miss, a soldier leads a very hard life and sometimes when he sees a very pretty girl he's tempted to makes promises that he fully intends to keep but which he cannot keep. do your parents know you're here? my mother's dead. my father's ill. -now, sometimes when a man suddenly sees a girl he's apt to forget the feelings that he had for her under more romantic circumstances. come. yankee, i'll kill you! i'll kill you! ma'am. -i'll kill you-- sergeant... ...do you know this girl? i don't think i've had the pleasure, sir. she described you. -accurately. well, sir, i can't help it if she's seen me, but i don't know her. looks a little bit like one of them dance-hall girls down at the hurdy gurdy in sunday but, well, they all look alike with the rouge on and their clothes off. miss, do you have any proof? anyone who might back up your identification? -it was rape. the only other two were his friends. captain, some of these dancing girls they get a problem, they name the handiest soldier. like picking a name out of a hat. sir, if it was me, i'd pass out cigars. -but.... sir, you can't really believe a woman running around alone with a chinee, now, can you, sir? well, in the absence of any supporting evidence.... i'm sorry. miss. -a horse. it's a long ride, sis. i found him. good girl. his name's straight. -all right, you just leave him up to me. halt. state your business. i'd like to speak to your post commander. you can't. indians butchered five white settlers up north. -he took most of the company on patrol. is there a sgt. straight? did he go out with them? straight? no. -he'll be over in the captain's office, likely with his feet up on a desk. what's that? water. the powdered root of a plant. oh, i don't need it. -please. thanks. i'm all right now. you can go. i will stay till your brother returns. -it's just the traveling. the life within you is a gift of beauty. well, i don't want this gift. a child cannot be made ugly by the unhappiness that begins it. it's all ugly. -the only beautiful thing i want to see is the face of that sergeant, dead. will that bring beauty to your child? nothing could. nothing? do you know about the war? -i know about war. it is a word men use to clothe the nakedness of their killing. well, the yankees burned our farm. my daddy.... well, there was nothing left to come home to. -so me and samuel and daddy packed up and we came out here. found this piece of land to scratch a living from. then one day, straight and his friends visited our farm while daddy and samuel were in town. and he paid his respects to grow here in my body. i guess that doesn't bother you any, does it? -you are hurt? you feel pain? well, i'm going to feel better soon. will vengeance ease your pain? yeah. -it's gonna taste real sweet. is injury wrought by oneself? no, grasshopper. then by another? no. -then by oneself and another? did your eye meet your own fist? then shall i seek ways to repay? what is the debt? my suffering. -vengeance is a water vessel with a hole. it carries nothing but the promise of emptiness. shall i then repay injury always with kindness? repay injury with justice and forgiveness but kindness always with kindness. she's a liar. -i'm forced to ask you for satisfaction. son, do you know what you're doing, walloping a sergeant in the union army? i'm challenging him to a duel. at your convenience. well, i thought that was old-fashioned, sort of like powdered wigs. -well, it takes all kinds. you rebs, you sure are slow to learn your lesson. we was killing old men and fuzz-faced kids there at the end. you were a confederate officer? i was. -and a gentleman. yes, sir. i apologize, i will have to borrow a saber. saber? ain't i the one that... -...gets to choose the weapons? if you like. you got a .45? i have. sabers just maim. -forty-fives, they kill. you know those three oaks up on lookout mesa? i'll be there at dawn. against army regs, a duel. well, captain's on patrol. -now, who's to tell? you'll have to go by yourself. it won't take more than me to kill that reb. i'll be back on post before reveille. caine. -would you please stay? there's no danger for you. it's a duel of honor. where is the honor in what you do? well, i am a marksman but if i was the one to die i don't know how she'd get home like she is. -i will wait with her. i'm in your debt. will you witness this? i want to see him die. both men hold guns. -please stay. does this now taste sweet? as agreed, two cartridges in the cylinder. let's get it over. i'm due back. as agreed, back to back, six paces counted, turn and fire. -survivors can use the second shot. you ready? ready. one. two. -three. four. five. enough. you've traveled enough for one day. -i want to go back to the army post. your brother is dead. the other two, cotton and barr, they're still alive. you are alive. and soon your child. -it's only justice. our house, my brother, me.... i want those two killed. if i don't have a right to revenge, who does? giddap! -he was our pard, sir. we were together for three years. with sherman. five more out there. how long? -about a week, i figure. it shouldn't be too hard to track down a belly-swollen girl and a chinaman. and when you find them? them three against his one? the sergeant, he couldn't be taken fair. -they killed our friend, sir. if we don't got a right to revenge him, who does? i'm scared. help me. be in touch with what you feel. from these actions you will bring a new life. -feel the sand. once mighty waters hurled themselves against rock and from these two harsh strengths came this most gentle sand. i'm scared. i don't know what to do. see the graceful things around you. hear the peaceful sounds. -i hear my own heart beating and the pains. the butterfly floating in sunlight. the incense of sage. the laughter of the wind. think on these. -oh, i feel him now. trust. i don't know what'll happen. i've never seen a birthing. see? -the sheathe which held the seed has opened. and from within this bursting growth reaches out. as simply and with more beauty your seed will find its own accord with nature. seeking air and sunlight in its own free life. but i'm scared of it of what'll happen. -fear is the enemy. trust is the armor. but knowing not what will happen, am i not wise to be afraid? he who conquers himself is the greatest warrior. do what must be done with a docile heart. -master, how can i know if this is possible for me? listen for the color of the sky. look for the sound of the hummingbird's wing. search the air for the perfume of ice on a hot day. if you have found these things, you will know. -will you not feed your son? i have no milk. will you not look at your son? i don't have a son. i have a child. they will do nothing until morning. -what then? i do not know. grasshopper, what troubles you? i am ashamed. to feel shame for no cause is a waste. -to feel shame for a cause is also a waste for you must rather spend time correcting that of which you are ashamed. master i woke last night and seeing nothing, hearing nothing yet i was afraid. of what? death. he who knows how to live need not fear death. -he can walk without fear of rhino or tiger. he will not be wounded in battle. how can this be? in him, the rhino can find no place to thrust his horn. the tiger, no place to use his claws. -and weapons, no place to pierce. why is this so? because a man who knows how to live has no place for death to enter. the child.... my son is dead. -one day old. before we wake, we cannot know that what we dream does not exist. before we die, we cannot know that death is not the greatest joy. he's my my own son. i loved my brother, but this my own son, is me. -i want to love him. i want to hug him. i want to love him. what can i do? what can i do? mourn. -no. no! no, no, no. oh, no, no. no, no. -what do i have left? a home, a loving daughter, enough to eat. and an ache inside that burns my soul. my father's home plundered. my son murdered. -and annie, my little girl.... a life of contentment. there's no more to do, daddy. my only legacy. your grandfather's. -yours when i die. take it now. sell it. find a way to exact payment for my life. kill them. -revenge is all, daddy? i can't do it myself. you're all i have to hope on. i must leave soon. what should i do? -what do you feel? hate. it fills the emptiness where my child grew. to hate is like drinking saltwater. the thirst grows worse. -don't you understand what i feel? i have seen the silkworm. it spins a thread, thinking itself to be safe. it has spun a tomb. hate is the tomb you weave. -it will not save you from your suffering. but that's what i feel. what can i do with it? perhaps there is room to bury your hate in that small grave where we have come from. i need time to think alone. -to weigh this against your seedling. you better tell us, old man. if i had a gun.... cotton, somebody's coming. where is she? -if there's a god in heaven he'll strike you dead. i said, where is she? hold it. don't move, or i'll kill him. you should have killed them. -where is she? it's the girl for sgt. straight. now, we gotta do our duty for our old pard. no! i forgot how young she is. -she's young enough to be my daughter. how is she? when we come by that time we'd been drinking, but you was flying that regimental flag on a pole out there. that old virginia regiment. you killed a lot of good boys no older than her. -the doctor says it'll take a long time. will i never be whole again? to be one with yourself is a power within you. what kind of man are you? a man like other men. -no. different. you have known too few others. leaving? she is better. -i've seen what you can do. all i have in this world is this sword. it's yours, if you do what i want done. an eye for an eye. keep your sword. -you're a man. you feel. don't you care what happened? they raped my little girl! i am a man. i care. -then do something about it! i will do something. i will break the necklace whose beads are vengeance. there has been enough killing. i will end it. -if i don't have a right to revenge, who does? no one. kung fu 1x07 the soul is the warrior as quickly as you can, snatch the pebble from my hand. -when you can take the pebble from my hand it will be time for you to leave. time for you to leave. i would be grateful for some water. you got it. mr. -rankin? nope. he is here? nope. he will be here? -when he gets back from snaking. what is snaking? rattlers. you know, a zoo full of women wouldn't ask your questions, so state your business. greenhorns ain't favored on a cow spread. -i seek my brother. daniel caine. i was told in town to ask for mr. rankin. there ain't nothing to ask. drifter's a drifter. -they drift. what about danny caine? leave it be. pa made you a foreman. you aim to be a mother you get yourself a bonnet and a bible. -come on, slanty man. mush in a mess of wind. i said, come on. your brother left some things in the bunkhouse. you want them? -where does your pebble walk to, grasshopper? it walks. its journey is to nowhere. each journey begins and also ends. then the ending is the bottom of the pool. does not the pebble, entering the water, begin fresh journeys? -it seems unceasing. such is the journey through life. it begins, it ends. yet fresh journeys go forth. father begets son. -who becomes, in turn, father, who begets son. then the roots i have are me. and i am they. grasshopper, seek first to know your own journey's beginning and end. seek then the other journeys of which you are a close part. -but in this seeking, know patience. wear that traveler's cloak which shelters and permits you to endure. ain't much, slanty man, but he weren't much either. had a face that belonged in a bridle. if you're any part of his blood, you're a lying coward just like him. -you hear me? yes. i called you a lying coward. did you hear that? yes. -well, get your gun to you. i have no gun. well, then get a knife. we're gonna do some cutting. i have no knife. -well, ain't he the candy head. i wish no trouble. then i'm just gonna push you some, slanty man, till your brains come to order. then i figure you'll tell me where to find your kin. and i'm gonna be there, all liver and lightning. -when you leave these walls you will come upon the many pillars of violence. may not a man one with nature, seeing such pillars, avoid them? other men stumble in the way. they go in eyeless search for peace. must i then tumble down these pillars? -seek always peace. wear no path for the footsteps of others unless the soul is endangered. we are all linked by our souls. to endanger one endangers all. and if thus endangered, master? -in such times, the soul must be the warrior. any luck? yeah, joe. i got me five of them wide-back malapai rattlesnakes. joe.... -listen to them praying. ed. ain't a worry, joe. they don't strike in the dark of the sack. don't know where from when. -benson taught me that. learned it from his injun ma, right, benson? i'd allow. moss here nearly stepped on one. you know how we figure he's older than the rocks? -an antelope couldn't have jumped higher or sweeter. foolishness. right, clint? what does a mule know about rattlesnakes, you old sore-sided boar? enough not to get nosy. -then i'll talk to him. cookie get some bait on in there? on the stove. you boys go on in. i'll see you later. -don't let him talk to you, clint. next thing you know, you'll be coiling and rattling. rest of the boys get in for the gather? expect them in about sundown. why do you do it, ed? -every man learns something by watching what he's afeard of. you, afeard of something? every man's afeard of what he don't know about. least, the white of him is. i guess there's not enough injun in me, joe. well.... -we're both dry and bourbon's wet. moss done caught sight of a man afoot. that'd be the chinaman. chinaman? well, not exactly a chinaman. -wants to see you. talking to breck now. it ain't nothing, ed. we're dry and bourbon's wet. come on, get up! -let's go, get up. i said, get up! get up. get up. him? -yeah, him. one-way conversation. now, slanty man, where you gonna meet him? don't you hear nothing? where you gonna meet him? -i know less of him than you. well, you better start knowing. breck. breck, you pound sand into him, you're liable to find grit. not this thing, pa. -he don't say more than a blink. breck, you're taking the wrong route. don't carry a gun, knife. i told him to move on, ed. now, wait a minute. -short minute. you enjoy being trussed up like a hog? what'd i tell you? what is it you want? mr. -rankin? that'd be me. i am told i might find my brother danny. the drifter. take him on back. -his brother did it. and this one's of the same blood. beating on a dead frog don't make a fight of it. i know, son, you've been wronged. but this ain't no way to go about it. joe. -come on, breck. breck. if you say so, pa. you better get rid of him, ed. if he don't stink of death, i never saw a carcass. -your brother ain't here. but there's a lot of us here who'd like to know where he's at. if my brother has done wrong, i will-- what he's done wrong, he's done. you can't walk life out here by dues. -now i see you ain't got a knife or a gun. there ain't no harder land in this country this side of hell than what you're standing on. you know, apache'd have you drawn and quartered before you ever saw a shadow. that's the red of it: injun. -you mix the red with the white and you got a burned bear dancing on cactus. and that'd be me. i ask only-- -l'm telling. you stand at the bottom of your grave and you ain't closer to death than you are on this ranch with my son. way he was raised, man's property can't be stole without stealing a piece of him. -why don't you go back where you come from. lord puts a faith on fools. fools. if they don't stay at it too long. come on, billy boy! come on! -ride him! hang on there, hang on there! come on! come on, now! thattaboy. -who in the name of--? what do you think you're doing? now, there goes your bet, billy! you was supposed to ride him all the way. well, i was, till this stupid-- mangy-- -bet was to ride him, billy. don't take to dangling around like a christmas tree. i think your boy could have rode him, at that, general. helping hands is best kept to the pockets. i thought you were in need of help. -help? you know what you done? you lost me $20, that's what. i could ride that wag-bait up a tree and plant him there. but no, you gotta come in here and-- well, who are you? -! hell with it. cost me $20, that fool did, pa! he just did what he thought was best, son. that horse'll be around to ride again. -these suckers know i can ride him now. 20 sweet dollars up a dude's arm! i'm general thoms, the sheriff. you passing through or staying? passing through. -well, it doesn't take long. this will be a town, though, of size and thought. the railroad coming in improves the purpose. took sand to do what you just did. sand? -guts. courage. you know much about horses? a little. figures. -it takes a power of doing to step into something you haven't tried on before. i did not.... i did not mean to spoil your son's ride. just a bet. the way of things. -around here men'll bet on how much dirt they got on their necks. always a bet, son. where are you from? not your duty to answer. just mine to ask. -and i'd answer, friend. the general, he talks low but he moves high. got frijoles and chilies waiting, general. thanks. thanks, ed. -yours? my brother's. being who? daniel caine. you don't seem much like him. -i do not know. we have not met. your own brother? but you want to find him. why? -my own brother. and we have never met. do you know him? i had him in jail. fighting. -breck rankin and a woman. two divided into one. that's always trouble. now, your brother's gone, son. if he'd stayed here, he'd be dead. -and you aim to follow him, i reckon. yes. you eaten? no. well, son, your brother's got a full two weeks' start on you. -let's go inside here and have some beans and peppers. way wide ed makes them, you pack a few of those things into certain areas and the devil with a long rope can't keep up. that old sand-pounder wasn't nothing. i'd have been taking your money about like a thief with a basket. but you know, they got them an old smoky dun sunfisher out at rankin's. -that big bronc ain't never been close to rode. shoot, he bit breck about to the middle. of course, breck being as mean as he is, he bit him back. ain't that right, pa? old violet that breck rides? -well, wouldn't be a rankin horse if it didn't want fire for breakfast. breck will bring him into shape. man. all man, that old breck. come on. -drinks, boys. your son? drinking? a boy. man, maybe. -he never knew his mother. smallpox. you don't raise a boy in this country. he raises himself or he doesn't get raised. let's try those beans. -hey, pa. here comes old thunder now. i'll get us a couple of bowls. then you'd best be on your way. howdy, breck. -how you doing? what rock you come crawling out of? i'm all right. bring out the snake skulls, the hawk is a-flying. breck. -general. have a plate of beans? sure, breck. set and supper. what's he doing here? -he just moving through with the rest of the weeds. come set, breck. shut up, you squirrelly pig. now, come on, breck. ain't no call for you to talk to me-- -shut up or i'm gonna shut you up final. what's the likes of him doing here, thoms? like my son said, breck. just passing through. we done told him to leave. -you remember the other one, general? now you got this one. feathers don't cover him. two things, slanty man. get out of my face and give me the doodads you stole off me. -my brother left the watch. it is not yours. my pa ain't here to help you now. ease off, breck. we can all talk. -not with no slanty man, i won't. not likely. give me them. get. i done told you! why, he's still alive. -but why, pa? for a drifter? calm down, son. but breck rankin for him? you got any notion what old man rankin is gonna say? -not to say what rankin will do if his son dies. he's dead, general. you ought to have had a doctor, pa. you joshing? i been doctoring since long before rain was even wet. -i mean a real-- well, it ain't nothing against you, molly. not much to doctor, son, with lead through the center. pa, old man rankin, he'll come riding in here.... that's likely. he'll come in so riled up he won't look to see who or what. -he'll just wreck the whole town. oh, shut up, burt. well, that's easy for you. get a wall of ice over this town and you'll still do business. but the rest of us, we'll be lucky if the walls are still standing. -well, general. what's to do? get a casket, burt. pa. you killed his son. -that happens, boy. not to mr. edward rankin, it don't, pa. he owns everything for 1 00 miles around except the breathing. they're right, they-- he's gonna come in here and come down on them harder than toads in a cave-in. -on us too, you come to it. he'll kill you, pa. he'll kill you and then where we got? us. you and me. -we're not through, son. pa, don't even say it. we done everything wrong. well, least- pa. -rankin's got all them hands and guns on every one. besides, he's strong enough himself to throw the moon in his boot. i'll take care of it, boy. pa, you done took care of it. and for a pilgrim like that. -you leaving? yes. that's about the only thing makes sense so far. there was a reason to it all. your brother took that woman of breck rankin's. -he didn't win her. he took her. and out here, a gun, a blanket, a woman, that's considered a man's property. you look at it, son, any way you care to but your brother took her and he went off somewhere. and in this country, that's death in a basket. -my boy's right. ed rankin will come. with a need in mind. seeing in me my brother. i don't know a lot about many things, son, but i do know men. -you've got a difference in you. there's an ease in you. probably that's because you don't know this country. maybe i don't. but death. -you see enough of death it starts to haunt you. fills your eyes, your ears, weighs in your belly. you come to know it. each journey of a man crosses this path. and each man sees death in his own mirror. -i've seen death piled around me till the air couldn't gather. i'm afraid of it. smote dry waiting for it. gone past my luck. ed rankin's gone through it like i have. but fear has never touched that man, being indian they believing life runs flat like a table and death isn't a fence. -but i'm white. and i know. what do you know? that it ends, son. we struggle and we grow old and it ends and that's all there is. -and it is black inside that box. i come all the way out here and here it is waiting for me. grinning breathing its breath on me. what the eye sees disappears with a blink. or a wandering puff of breath. -where there was light the eye, denied, sees nothing. watch. my eye is denied. no light. no candle. -only nothing. come. that is what the eye sees. what the soul sees cannot be denied. will not the soul, too, see nothing when death blinks its eye? -no. the soul sees always. yet the body dies. does the sun die? it does not shine at night. -it shines somewhere. you do not see it. it does not end. the journey goes on, from one time to another. nothing dies that was ever something. -son, i don't know what the hell you're talking about. rankin is afraid. how do you know that? i know. i, too, was responsible for the death. -you're free, son. you go. yes. go. the boy's telling it, ed. -was you that said it. "mush in a mess of wind." breck, your own boy. bury him, ed. it just happened. ain't the same times now. -you got to change with the times. how'd it go again, boy? pa didn't have no other way to it. breck forced him. he was all fired up, right down to the toes. -you know how he gets. well, breck, he-- had to happen sooner or later, ed. you go and spill blood on the sand and you'll have more marshals sniffing around than wolves on a calf crop. thoms is a law man, ed. -law. ain't no other law but property. private property. now, that other one, the brother he done took breck's girl right from behind his back. his property. -that's right. so breck, he had himself a good reason. that's right. and i got myself the same reason. yes, but it won't help, ed. -help? ! i never ask for it. and i never give it. i'm sorry, joe. -now, we been over hell edge to edge. now, you can smell hell, but you don't own it. but a man owns his own blood. and that boy, that's my blood, that's me. gonna kill your pa, son. -you best go tell him. now you're doing it right, mr. rankin. we brought your son back, mr. rankin. what's he doing here? it was him was the trigger to the doing, as you'd likely say-- -billy. you, thoms. he don't know sideways from up, but you, you come to me like a big skinned mule. i came to appeal to you, rankin. what's that mean, general? -to reason it out. reason? i know the reason. i'm looking at him. i'll throw enough lead in that reason to drill a well. -now, you stand aside, general, and draw your gun. no. i won't. why? i'm afraid. -you're afraid? yes. the general? the hero? at one time, maybe. -a coward now. rankin-- general, hero, coward or inside straight, you shot my boy. that's me, now. i'm gonna kill you. ed, that won't help. -oh, just leave it be to me, joe. now, this is your last chance, thoms. then i'm taking what's mine. the cobweb's gonna stop a bullet? get that chinese teacup out of here. -i ask you to stop. you'll just have to pardon my manners, sonny. i was born on the wrong side of the bed. who are you? a man. -not afraid, if that is what you want to know. i'm about to know you from the inside out. but you. will you know yourself from the inside out? you think you know me? -not well enough. let me introduce myself. i ain't gonna kill you but this land is filling up with more shirttail lizards than rocks to hide them. but i'm gonna teach you a lesson. you're gonna have scars to remind you of the name of this land. -this country. this is private property. you're alive my boy is dead. discipline your body, grasshopper... ...that you may find a greater power. -but, master, what greater power is there? those who surrender themselves find inner strength. will this protect me more than could my arms and legs? when the heart knows no danger, no danger exists. when the soul becomes a warrior, all fear melts. -as the snowflake that falls upon your hand. these scars are gonna remind you. don't you get the carry of this, slanty man? rankin. well. -the hero finally found his voice. nothing matters much to you. nothing except your property. that's the way i've held it. held it with my strength. -strength! what would you know about strength? you've always had it. nothing ever challenged it. it's strength. like lifting up a stud horse on a bet. -like your young years, honing your gun to quicker than a blink instead of looking at the natural wonder of things. that isn't strength. strength is when you're so used up you feel like a walnut with the insides gone. well, now, general. that was quite a speech. -i told you i was afraid. i said why. do you want me to take a shovel and dig my own grave? would you take comfort in that? no, no. it wouldn't give me comfort. but it would one of my boys that might have to dig it. -you have the weakness to defend your injury with killing. have you not the strength to forgive? well. we done a little talking and we done a few stunts, we tried to impress one another. but what have we learned? -i'm gonna give you a chance i never gave anybody in my life before. you're at the wrong place in the wrong time, do you understand that? now, what is it? what is it you want? the life of mr. thoms. -for your fear, mr. rankin. my fear? of what? me. you? -your fear hangs in the air. like the smell of a man close to death. that's enough, ed. crazy, all of it's crazy. nothing to prove. -there is something. mr. rankin knows what. the life of mr. thoms for your fear. well. i guess i'm gonna have to kill you too. -your fear would yet live. fear? i ain't afraid of nothing, never been. where are you going? i said, where are you going? -! let him go, ed. your fear lives, mr. rankin. here is its temple. ed. -ed! i got no say, but i'm saying it, mr. rankin. it's all gone too far. shoot him. just shoot him. -he done give you the cause. they don't ask, they do. certain death, every one of them. you would not walk among them? down there? -down there. caine, you're new to this land. that's a death that inches through you squeezing and twisting like a knife. that's the first thing he's got right yet. you are afraid. -afraid? yes, just as a fool would be afraid. a fool would take a pistol and put it to his ear and pull the trigger. what would you put on his gravestone? "here lies the body of a brave man"? -no. "here lies the body of a fool." afraid. and you're not? no. -then go on in. and mr. thoms goes free. your bet. your body. but the big black birds'll be hovering over you in the morning. -no. stay. this isn't your doing. what i did, i did. leave him be, general. -look, now. look carefully. you're looking at a brave man. as the hero said as the knife slowly turned: "shake hands with every one of them." -master how does one find the strength within himself? by being one with all that is without himself. yet these sometimes contend. when fire meets ice, which prevails? ice. -yet in dying, does not the ice, becoming water, also die? will the fire die? that prevails which refuses to know the power of the other. where fear is, does not danger also live? and where fear is not, does not danger also die? -where the tiger and the man are two, grasshopper, he may die. yet where the tiger and the man are one, there is no fear, there is no danger. for what creature, one with all nature, will attack itself? i'm getting mighty thirsty. i could use some whiskey. -go on. mr. rankin? you heard me. get out of here. -what'd he say? indian. yeah, i know, but what'd it mean? there isn't an indian word for "hero," son, but there is for "man." what he said is: -"man is often hidden." come on. grasshopper, be yourself and never fear thus to be naked to the eyes of others. yet know that men so often mask themselves that what is simple is rarely understood. the dust of truth swirls and seeks its own cracks of entry. -and a tree falling in the forest, without ears to hear, makes no sound. yet it falls. a river called titas based on the novel by advaita malla barman screenplay by ritwik kumar ghatak -book published by puthighar itd (film rights reserved) produced on behalf of purbapran kathachitra by n. m. chowdhury (bachchu) habibur rahman khan fayez ahmed main playback singer dheeraj uddin fakir actors in order of appearance nupur -roshan jamil shirin golam mustafa as ramprasad prabir mitra ritwik kumar ghatak chanu bhattacharya narayan chakrabarty malati debi -kabari choudhury k. matin sheikh fazlu banani chowdhury a. matin mesbah ahmed rosy samad rani sarkar -shafiq islam aruna bandyopadhyay sheelaj mallik supriya gupta rahima khatun sufia rostam farid ali mahibbur rahman sabita bandyopadhyay -golam mostafa as kader ali khalil khan farooq khan kalipada sen sagarika faqrul hasan bairagi shamsul huda sirajul islam shahid -amita basu chakkan tamij rizvi rabiul hussain sunil amin joy islam and others guest artistes abul hayat golam rabbani dilip chakraborty jahangir chakladar -assistance with collected songs haralal ray playback singers rathindranath ray nina hamid abeda sultana dharmidan barua dipu mamtaj pilu mamtaj abu taher indramohan rajbangshi -still photography sunil aamin publicity pracharani limited subarna pracharani maya art naksha musical instruments played by alauddin little orchestra assistant director abdul zalil mintu -tamijuddin rizvi amjad hossein assistant photographer murshed ahmed assistant editor atiqur rahman anwar hossein khurshed alam music assistant liaqat hussain nantu -sound amjad hussain makeup rebati das printing jahangir rabbani mainul haq abdul aziz development selim, karim, jasim -optic printer hasan production management mujibur rahaman abdul rauf lighting nannu mia mohit kiran acknowledgements mijanur rahaman choudhury -m. a. jalil m. a. jaman hasan imam abdum kuddus makhan sheikh selim abdum jasid nurujjaman nantu dhaka urban co-operative bank itd, narayan ganj -tandra islam khabiruddin ahmed barun bakshi naru barman shamsher ahmed saiyaduddin ahmed bhabatosh bandyopadhyay chalachitra unnayan sangstha, bangladesh -processed and developed in the studio printed by yusuf ali khan (khoka) film processing mafizuddin ahmed opticals lutfar rahman sound re-mix harun-ar-rashid -music recording harun-ar-rashid a. majid dialogue saiyad nurul islam art direction munshi mahiuddin makeup mohammad shahjahan first assistant camera bulbul wazed -editing abu taleb mahabubur rahaman first assistant director fakrul hassan bairagi executive producer sanwar murshed music ustad bahadur hossein khan editing basheer hossein -cinematography baby islam direction and music composition by ritwik kumar ghatak gokannaghat is a small fishing village on the banks of the river titas. nobody knows much about the people here. and, perhaps, nobody even cares to know. -this movie is dedicated to the toilers of everlasting bengal. i caught it first, subol. kishore, i'll be left with nothing. must you keep bickering? shame on you. -keep turning it, basanti. we're ushering in the maghmandal ritual. don't behave like that. you've worn a new sari. kishore and subol will make a leaf boat for you to set sail. -bathe in the titas first, come back home, then clear the courtyard and paint it with auspicious drawings. as if... i hear they're going to ujaninagar with uncle tilakchand. god knows when they'll be back. i can't bear to wait. -keep turning. keep turning. mother, look at them. listen to what subol and kishore did. as soon as i placed the leaf boat in the water, -subol and kishore fought over it like kids. each of them said they wanted it. and they wouldn't let go. i said "you've both made it. so why don't you share it?" -kishore left it, like a good boy. but subol grabbed it and ran! you're hurt because subol took it, and not kishore. he could have taken it. but he left it. -why didn't he take it? he's upset, isn't he? he is a good man. don't worry. he'll be back in a few months with money in his purse from ujaninagar. -it will happen soon. what a way of showing friendship. kishore or subol, which of them are you waiting for? they will surely come. go away, mungli. -what have you put on your lips? red color? stop it, mungli! if it's kishore, you don't have to paint your lips red. but for subol, it's all right. -hello, uncle ramprasad! is that you, basanti? see how mungli is teasing me, uncle ramprasad. teasing? she can't wait to marry. -she broods over who'll marry her. they've both gone fishing. who will it be, kishore or subol? you've grown up now. uncle. -i miss my daughter. who? durga? she left yesterday. my last dear one. -she was all i had. my only daughter. durga? that's the way it happens. it all comes and then disappears again. -there's a spark of life. and suddenly it's not there. it all becomes untraceable. you were a child yesterday. today, you're a woman. -this ever-flowing river titas may become bone dry tomorrow. it may not even have the last drop without which our soul cannot depart. yet these flocks of sails move on and on and on... this is enough for today, kishore. let's turn back the boat, subol. -look! the headman of ujaninagar himself has come. let's see your catch. you're doing well, lads. but don't stay here for long. -finish your business and go home. kalipur is on the other side. we have a quarrel with them. there's news that they will create a stir after the holi festival. we hear, sir, that your spring festival is very colorful. -we'd like to see it before we go. and in case of a fight, we'll be on your side. we, too, are fishermen. the kalipur toughs are here. get some water quickly. -your girl has fainted. here's your daughter. take her. mother... who was that? -i couldn't see his face. is it true that your village is an ideal one? are there people from different castes and educated folk too? we'd like to have closer ties. we're poor folk. -will it be befitting for you to forge relations with us? we are poor too. what sort of ties? ties of friendship. between us. -fine. it's accepted. not merely with words. but with song and dance, and binding gifts. what does that mean? -come, change your clothes. the headman is calling you. my wife would like a word with you. beloved bride, how shall i adorn you? should they exchange garlands now? -yes. i am so unfortunate. the bridegroom will be leaving soon. here... you can have a formal wedding when you get home. -exchange garlands for now. here... take it, please. come here. give it to her. -here... take it. give it to him. son, don't be restless. embark on your journey in peace. -don't forget us. i bequeath you to him. beloved bride, how shall i adorn you? wake up, radha! the suk sari bird sings. -how long will you sleep, radha, on this shore? this is your father-in-law. touch his feet. you've got the bride. formalize your wedding in your village. -she's now your companion in your life, your work, in this world and the next. never ill-treat her. your dried fish has been sold and you've got the cash. set your sails homeward. perhaps we will never see each other again. -what is your name? kishore chand mulya varman. my father is ramkeshab mulya varman. gokannaghat village, tripura district. come on. -you've found your mate here, brother. now what will happen to basanti from our village? she's all yours. i'll be sailing through troubled waters. there'll be bandits too. -and there's a woman with us. tell you what, kishore. do it this way. prepare the bride's bed under the deck. so that nobody sees, nobody knows. -kishore. listen to an old man, kishore. don't look at her on the boat. subla, unroll the beds. look into the cooking. -it's your responsibility. oh, god! hey, brother. so, have you found the girl of your dreams? how do i know? -i've hardly seen her, hardly know her. i can't even remember what she looks like. i've forgotten her face. completely. if she's mysteriously replaced, i wouldn't know. -enough of looking at her. after dinner, we'll all sleep under the awning. be alert, nobody should go outside. traversing the meghna, crossing bhairab bandar. a deft course, and then the titas. -it's nearby. shameless wretch! kishore! get up. how much more will you sleep? -we've suffered a great loss! subol, she's gone! we've been robbed. all is lost! let go of me! -let go of me! turn the boat, turn the boat! we've found her. where? there in the darkness. -subol! kishore has gone mad! something is floating in the water. come quick. basanti, you star-crossed girl, you're driving me crazy. -why do you move about in the thick undergrowth? why do you keep staring at your reflection in the titas? and who will clean the pots? your childhood love was blighted. you married subol and he died the day after the wedding. -and you are still alive, you good-for-nothing. go quick. go to the water. are you looking for a husband in the woods? remember how, as a girl, you prayed for a husband, setting afloat your leaf boat on the titas during the maghmandal ritual? -go on, don't look like that. you both grew up together, mungli. you have a happy family. and she? your husband loves you dearly. -and look at her misfortune. you don't know, aunt, how her heart is tormented as she yearns for a child. gokannaghat is plagued with wants. what misery we have faced over these years. i can't take it anymore. -oh, mother. you're like goddess bhagawati incarnated. i'm escorting you myself to pagla shiva. please, mother. will you tell me? -it's been nine or ten years since we found you on the riverbank. you've never spoken of returning to your father's house. no. why? i was pregnant and kidnapped by bandits. -who would believe me in my father's house? you haven't looked for your husband in all these years. why so? i don't know his name nor the name of his friend. i barely saw his face. -all i know is the name of his village. what made you set out today? you could have stayed here, praying in the same village. stone-hearted. my goddess bhagawati is a stone-hearted woman. -tell us, please. what makes you restless today? for this boy. this boy is growing up. who will i say is his father? -if he does not accept you? what if your husband accuses you of using your misfortune for your own benefit? it's for his conscience to decide. what can i say? mother, why does uncle gour call you bhagawati? -well, bhagawati is everybody's mother, yours and mine. everybody's mother? yes. yours, mine and his too? everybody's mother. -it's really funny! bhagawati. new here? where do you live? i don't know. -who's this, basanti? she's just arrived. are you fisher-folk? hello, ma'am. they are the new dwellers of this village. -not us. we've just come to see her off. yes, i understand. we are of the same cast. come with me. -let's go, ma'am. that's kalo's mother. she is the richest here, among the malo folks of this village. she'll take you in. she's a poisonous snake. -i'm basanti. what's your name? rajar jhi. don't worry. kalo's mother will definitely give you shelter. -she'll get a housemaid for free. oh, god, what have you done? this punishment is too much. i thought i'd make him the master of the house and live on his earnings. arrange his marriage. -bring his bride home. i'd play with my grandchildren. oh, my fate! i've given those two old men something to eat. they want to leave in the morning. -i've made arrangements too. you are a newcomer, my girl. listen to me. my husband left a lot of money and property. and my son earns good money. -every year we harvest lots of hemp. we make big fishing nets out of those. hey, mungli, give me a banyan leaf. what's so amusing? i chew a little. -my late mother-in-law used to eat huge banyan leaves. she won't say yypaan" leaf. it sounds like her father-in-law's name, so she says yybanyan" leaf. my father-in-law used to smoke tobacco occasionally. he had long, curly hair... and eyes like the devil! -we were scared of him. he'd smoke and play the harinda. hey, my girl. is your mother like me? well... -is she alive? are you sure he's the emir's son? it took some persuasion, but he finally talked. for the benefit of the others, an example has to be made. kill him. -what about his father? he's got a lot of clout. he can't throw a spear all the way from new york, now can he? angelo, i said: "kill him." what's happening? -some africans are looking for you. i don't know any africans, brother. you come! central answering, can i help you? yeah, baby. -anything? is that you, mr. shaft? that's right. a mr. ramila's been calling you every 10 minutes since 2:00. you come. -you tell mr. r, if he calls again, that i got too many friends with troubles. i don't do business with strangers. freeze. where did you study stick fighting, mr. shaft? conducting the new york philharmonic. -the emir will be pleased. also by the fact you're already circumcised. mr. shaft, the temperature is 110 degrees. are you comfortable? shit! -i'd be more comfortable if you'd forget to pay your light bills. we want you to walk back and forth across the sand for the next eight hours. if you survive, we will talk. man, i already got my tan. let's talk now! -i said walk! walk or die! very ingenious, mr. shaft. forgive us, mr. shaft. this is emir ramila. -leader of the manta tribe in east africa. out of my turf. this is wassa, my brain and ossiat, my strong right arm. they will prepare you. mineral water, mr. shaft. -quite pure. give me some scotch, man. i know a great deal about you. but until tonight, it was all hearsay. i had to know. -know what? would you kill a man? you fired two shots at ossiat without hesitation. yes, i learned. you would kill a man. -about those shots. why is the brother still breathing? next time, between the eyes. my second question: how good are you with the stick? -cat named shaft ain't gonna be bad with the stick. from childhood, the men of my tribes used the stick to herd cattle, ward off hyenas, and to fight. if you were awkward with the stick, it would have taken too long to train you. thanks for the offer, but i live in a restricted neighborhood, no hyenas. you want to call me a cab? -third question: could you survive under desert conditions? i liked what you did, burying yourself in the sand. we've found our man, mr. shaft. you! -okay. i'll walk. i make you a most generous offer. $25,000. is that american or hong kong? -$15,000 now, $10,000 later. and what do i have to do? become a slave. colonel gondar, john shaft. the colonel is with the central police authority in addis ababa. -he's working with us and with the organization of african unity. a good deal of time and money has been invested in selecting you, mr. shaft. and i guess what you did is looked in the addis ababa yellow pages and there i was, john shaft, investigator. right? it was somewhat more involved than that. -what's this slave jive? two months ago, a truck crossed the border from italy into france. the driver managed to escape. the french authorities gave the men water and time to rest then hustled them back into italy and marked the incident closed. what were they? -italians? no. young africans. this particular group was smuggled from the ivory coast to italy, then into france. smuggled? -why? to do all the dirty, back-breaking jobs white europeans refuse to do. road gangs, factories, kitchens.... maybe they needed the bread. the recruiters are luring thousands of young africans into europe every month. -they've no work permits, no social security. if they complain, they're deported. they work a 16-hour day, 7 days a week, for literally pennies. this, mr. shaft, is slavery in the 20th century. then just arrest the cats who are hustling the people and that's the end of that. -we want the men at the top. we need a trained investigator. somebody they don't know. to infiltrate their organization. to do this, he has to let himself be recruited in africa. -so, get an african investigator. they know all our men. get someone who's not an investigator. we did. my son let himself be recruited in east africa. -his body was found last week in paris. in a ditch. an uptown dude like me. they'd spot me a mile away. not if you're briefed in tribal ways. -and learn the manta dialect. i was 21 before i found out that "isn't" is another way of saying "ain't." aleme, come in. this is my daughter, aleme. aleme has come to instruct you, mr. shaft. -they vanished as mysteriously as they appeared. but they left behind our spoken culture their drums, their copper spears, their beaded crowns. nobody knows what happened to them. but our tribes are descended from these proud ancestors. don't laugh, mr. shaft. -your survival depends on how much you can remember. who's laughing? i was just thinking, they made us study shakespeare in school. was he ever a johnny-come-lately... sure blow their minds at p.s. 64! -our officials fall into two categories. macha. tulama. not bad. you are progressing. -why don't you get rid of that jolly giant there so that you and i can get down to the finer strokes? ossiat has guarded me since i was a child. sometimes i think of him as my living chastity belt. damn! man that size, baby. -that's a whole lot of chastity. i'm still in my first age-grade. we call that fareita. no one is permitted to marry while they're in fareita. what do you do for relaxation? -i enter chela, my second age-grade, this february. then, even the emir's daughter may have sex and marry. after my clitoridectomy. your what? my clitoridectomy, female circumcision. -you mean, when they cut off your.... are you afraid to say the word? my clitoris? yes. that's what they do in the time of chela. -hell, no wonder the natives get restless. the emphasis in our marriages is not upon sexual pleasure but upon the rearing of children. listen, baby.... february's just around the corner. how are you going to know what you're missing unless you give it a little wear and tear before they take it away? -are you volunteering? you're damn right. do not kiss! where's your stick? it's time for your lesson. -shit! it's back there. why don't you get it for me while i warm up? tingat. wulan. -saho. here is your first payment, mr. shaft. a check for $15,000. and your airline ticket. you leave in the morning! -from up here it doesn't look so big, does it? i mean, new york. it's not so big. la's got more square miles. tokyo and london both have more people. -oh, you don't speak english. you must be african. manta. my name's williams. if there's anything you need, let me know. -standard oil? by god! now, that's something! can't speak the language, but knows about standard oil! how about general motors? -coca cola. are you okay, mr. shaft? go catch your plane to addis. who are you? i'm not with standard oil. -then i guess he's not with coca cola. thanks. to quote your exact words: "he will never live to reach africa." yet i am told he's already boarded ethiopian airlines flight 175, at orly, en route to addis ababa. -how can you explain that? they had somebody with him out of new york. he took my man by surprise. shaft was simply lucky. first editions always worry me. -luck can run out, even for you, my black brother. consider him a dead man. i was under the impression you were to kill whoever the emir hired in new york. wasn't that our agreement? the emir might have suspected me. -this man, shaft, seemed too dangerous on his home ground. but in africa.... picture, sir? he's quite tame. i hope you'll both be very happy. -colonel gondar sent me. this way, please, sir. we have a choice of poses. you can kneel and put your arms around him. you can straddle and ride him. -or you can put your head in his mouth. is that right? you are to go at once. thank you, sir. keep the receipt. -i'll see you get your picture tomorrow. sorry for this cloak-and-dagger business. the incident at orly gave us a nasty shock. that incident at orly gave me a nasty shock! you trust her? -she's a cousin of mine. i'll never turn my back again on a cleaning woman. who was the cat in drag who tried to kill me? a sardinian named bocco. an assassin with a long criminal record. -and the dude who saved my ass? he works with us. well, it seems we've brought you a long distance for nothing. obviously, the opposition knows about you. if you choose to call it off, we'll understand. -what, and blow $25,000? only money brings you here? hell, no. i just love having my picture taken with lions. your forebearers were dragged in chains from this continent and dumped onto the cotton plantations of america. -i'd think you'd want the assignment for stronger motives than money. you're wrong! my folks weren't in cotton. they were in tobacco. the emir tells me you've learned how to use this. -this particular fighting stick is a rather special one. thirty-six exposures. extra film in here. you'll leave your bag with me and take this one. there's food in here and this. -tape recorder. to record, turn clockwise. to stop recording, turn it back. wait a minute. i'm not james bond. -simply sam spade. wear that pouch around your waist. under this robe. i hope that's a 40 long. you'll be living in it. -with these sandals, until the recruiters issue you western work clothes. if you get that far. what about some iron? iron? a piece. -no gun. too difficult to hide and a dead giveaway if somebody searches your bag. anyway, you've got your stick. is that right? we've selected a zabana who speaks english. -he won't leave your side. a"zabana"? a bodyguard. if a gun is too conspicuous, a bodyguard will be like putting it on the 6:00 news. once you leave ethiopia, you'll be in a territory where everybody has zabanas. -even the zabanas have zabanas. yours is named kopo. he will join you along the way. study this. it's a route we've laid out which should bring you into contact with the recruiters. -if you live long enough to get to paris, there's a telephone number written here. memorize it and call the moment you arrive. and burn that map and that number before you leave this room. i wish you luck. god knows you'll need it. -here! that's all! got to make it last. spot! come here! -come here! dummy, come here! follow me. no one will see us. my people build these nests to keep crows away from the corn. -is that a fact? the farmer gets up here and fires away. how did you get rid of your big shot, old ossiat? he just had his sixth child. so i slipped away while he was celebrating. -i passed your bus near the border, but when i got there you weren't on it. only that dead man. so i doubled back. i had to see you. john, they know who you are. -well, i figured that. they already tried to kill me twice. don't worry, they can't make it. were you disappointed i wasn't a virgin? hell no, baby. -you had some good teachers. john.... this is hardly the time to talk about it but i've made an important decision because of you. well, my daddy told me, he said, "john... "...the one time you should never ever make an important decision... -"...is right after you've made love." it's about my clitoridectomy. that's an important decision, all right. when february comes, i'm not going to let them do it. i am kopo, your zabana. -put out your hand. what is the meaning of this gesture? it just means, "brother, i am glad to see you! " come! what was that all about? -he's the district headman. everything that happens around here he knows. he says the white man this week takes our people from the town of maiberra to the north. then we go north. he says that in maiberra, when the sun stands two more times above our heads two men will die. -maiberra? get in line! get in there! move in! sign. -what i sign? sign you say you give back money. food, clothes, boat. how much you pay me? 200 francs each month. -what's your name? jowi. okay, jowi. jowi! take your dog and bury him. -nobody's ever cried for you, have they, baby? nobody even knows you're gone. son of a bitch, you know who i am, don't you? who told you? who sent that cat after me at the airport? -and on the bus? talk, motherfucker, talk! "marco sassari." another late, not-so-great sardinian. died december 12 from a stiff neck in a town called maiberra as the sun stood overhead. -the headman said that two men would die. he was wrong. only one man died and two dogs. quick, come! we go! -come! now! all of you! this zubair. he take you cross desert. -i no forget you. you speak english? little. ziba, you beat him? i beat. -good. i don't like ziba. you ride front with me. you know how to ride camel? no ride camel. -ride ass. you learn to ride camel. i show you. come on. sit here. -cross leg, like this. see? easy. now you. cross leg! -cross leg! cross! slow down. i'd give ten years of my life if i could do that. to be able to see the world only in sexual terms. -and to feel it, the way you do, jazar. such diligence, mr. wassa. i'm impressed. imagine, you flying all the way from africa to be sure your laborers are doing well. look at them. -happy in their work. are you happy in your work? piro and sassari are both dead. shaft killed them. the last time we talked it was shaft's life or yours. -he will be boarding vanden's boat tomorrow morning. i flew in to ask you to contact vanden. get him to delay his departure. i will not contact vanden. he's too weak in the stomach. -i suggest you get down to ei jardia today and deal with mr. shaft personally. may i help? how? i could divert his attention while wassa did whatever he wished to do. the real reason, my pet. -i'm bored. i need some excitement. we both do. listen, mr. wassa. i don't love this young lady. -i don't even particularly like her. but she's the only person in the world i've ever found who can get it up for me. i want her back by friday of this week. if anything should happen to her or if shaft is still breathing by this time tomorrow i'll have you killed wherever you happen to be. the young lady will meet you at the airport in one hour. -i wish i could watch you with shaft. where will you do it? on the boat. i like the way it rocks you back and forth. get it on tape. -play it back for me friday. that's a delicious idea! if you do it, i'll buy you an emerald. how large an emerald? boat come tomorrow. -you be here first light. now, you go to town. get girls. buy gifts for home. no money. -i give. you sign paper. you pay later. hey! you, my guest. -good shot. you come to town with me. no. leave it here. it's safer. -where we go, the girls, they steal! no wonder they call africa the mother country! but, mama, i ain't gonna fight it. where's jowi? come on! -ciao, baby. i want names, baby! i want to know every name you know! who's paying you and who sent you after me? if i tell, they kill me! -what the fuck do you think i'm going to do. now, talk! i'm your friend. i kill the man who sent me. i do this for you. -talk! talk! now, talk, or i'll break the other one! next time, you mother, don't bite off more than you can chew. all that lot? -i am to be paid for 41 . what do you think we're running, the queen mary? i am to be paid for 41 ! a hundred more. for what? -i bring you happy men. they sign, you pay. stow it, sadi! the man's entitled to his money. that's the contract. -any expenses advance have to be collected on delivery before the next leg of the trip. don't worry. we'll get it back when we dock. may allah be with you. all right, gentlemen! -everyone into the hold! come on, move it! sadi, get them stowed below. get them out of those robes and into work clothes! well? -when did he bathe last? very soon now, in 500 feet of water. not until i spend the night with him. what if he hurts you? i'm counting on it. -if anything happens to you, amafi will kill me. if i don't get to spend the night with this man i'll tell amafi you raped me. you know what he'd do to you? when it's dark, have the captain bring them up on the deck in small groups, for fresh air and for exercise. they are going to kill you. -don't pretend you don't understand. you are john shaft. jowi. jowi. look, mr. shaft, i am offering you life. -why? if you help me i'll help you. your place or mine? i do hope you're not looking for the shower. i like natural men. -who's planning to kill me? wassa. so that's where it leaked. how long is your phallus? my what? -your cock. baby, by now it's shrunk down to 20 inches. wassa, that son of a bitch! you can usually tell by the size of a man's nose. or the length and thickness of his thumbs. -i always look for a man with prominent nose and long, thick thumbs. baby, you're not turning me on. i got too many things on my mind. a man who's been in the desert as long as you have? you know the man who pays my bills thinks i'm oversexed. -and whatever gave him that idea? baby, this just may blow your mind, but i ain't about to fuck you. i'm taking you out of here now, as a hostage. do it later. please. -please. move it, baby. no hidden gun. look for yourself. we've been recorded. -by what network? he asked me to put our love affair on tape. what's his name? if i tell you, will you come to bed? tell me first, and then i'll decide. -he's the one you are looking for. vincent amafi. head of the whole business. you're going to take me to him, yes? i know he'd like to meet you. -where is he? paris. paris. we may as well be comfortable together while we cross the med. what's your name? -does it matter? my god! baby, my nose may not be too prominent but i've got two of the longest, thickest thumbs.... you saved amafi the trouble. get dressed, baby! -why? there's a motorboat on deck. we're taking it for a ride. you know something? you're the first man who's ever made love to me the way a man should. -fantastic, baby. write my congressman later. come on, get dressed! whatever you say, john. untie it! -john! thanks, baby. hello? your call, mr. amafi. oh, yes, operator. -put him on. good morning, captain. a bloody rotten morning! wassa's dead, shot to death. my first officer deserted at sea. -the police are due any minute. and the girl? who the hell knows? probably gone off with sadi. the men you brought across, where are they now? -in the trucks, on the way to paris! where else should they be? idiot! you let them go? listen, with a goddamned corpse aboard and a hold full of illegal africans, how could i explain them to the police? -this is going to cost you extra money, mr. amafi. otherwise, from now on, you can get yourself another captain. angelo. come on! come on! -perreau is here! your friend perreau is here! come on! listen to perreau! me, perreau. -your friend. me tell you what to do where go, where work. i pick up money. your money. save you time. -pay back cost of your journey this room, clothes, food. perreau, i take care everything. now, this room cost you each 100 francs a month. we only earn 200 francs a month. but this room, we pay half?

the name is unknown to me. but, a little gopher, you say, coming to pick you up. -surely he can't be the kingpin of african recruiting. kingpin's a cat named vincent amafi. another unknown name. we'll see if we find a monsieur amafi and put him under surveillance. i'll find him. -i'm grateful, monsieur, but from now on we will do the work. i've got a personal thing with mr. amafi. i remind you, monsieur, you are now back in a civilized country where due process of law prevails. inspector, i resent that implication. my country was building churches while your people were still living in caves. -forgive me, colonel. i didn't mean to imply-- get your stenographer and i'll give her 10 minutes and then i've got things to do. amafi did this trying to find me. the law will punish him. -fuck the law! what does it do about the shitheads who charge 100 francs a month to stay in a craphouse like this? why don't you really clamp down on the slave trade? i'll tell you why! the black ghetto of paris is as far away from the champs elysées as 125th street is from park avenue! -you need a bunch of poor bastards to work on your roads and in your damn kitchens! so, don't lay any of that law-will-punish-him shit on me! alarm clock, she work! where do you take the money you collect?

is coordinating the same as playing poker? poker? -you was teaching a little kid how to play poker? he wasn't, lamont. see? i was teaching him. we gotta get you home. -your mother's probably worried sick. why didn't you call and tell her he was here? i asked him, and he wouldn't give me his phone number. come here, jason. you got a phone at home? -okay, what's the number? hey, look. now, your mother's been working hard all day. when she comes home and you ain't there, it's gonna make her sick. you don't wanna make your mother sick, do you? -what's her name? winnie. her last name. he ain't gonna tell you. any kid who can draw four kings ain't gonna give you his phone number. -we gotta get him home. okay. listen, jason. now you know you got to go. you can't hang around here forever. -why not? because this is not your house, and i'm not your father. if you marry my mother, you could be. oh, no. forget that. -i ain't marrying nobody. come here, jason. you can come around here and play anytime you want to... but you gotta tell me your phone number so i can call your mother. now what is it? go ahead, jason. -tell him, or i ain't gonna be your poker pal. i'll tell. good. oops. what do you say, lamont? -what's happening? mr. sanford, how are you? what's going on, fred? where you been so long? fighting crime in the streets. -we are gonna get it to the point where people can walk anywhere in los angeles. yeah, but they'll still be running in watts. hey, is that the little man, lamont? yeah, this is jason. jason, come over here, man. -you're not scared, are you? don't be scared, sonny. a man in blue is a friend to you. yeah, but... you know... -man in blue, get your foot off there. oh, sorry. you know, in the lawman-juvenile relationship... the primary consideration is the establishment... of an atmosphere of mutual trust between the official and the minor in question. be cool, little brother. the fuzz is your cuz. -yeah, we just wanna ask a few questions is all. how'd you know he was here? oh, on the way home... i ran into smitty and hoppy and told them jason spent the night last night. he ain't done nothing. -we just wanna check him out. you know, to make sure he didn't run away or something. you got a lot of runaways now, huh? oh, yes. it's an age-old problem. -didn't you ever run away from home, mr. sanford? no, but i had a brother who used to run away about at least once a month. is that so? what finally happened? his wife divorced him. -he's talking about kids. we wanna have a chat with the youngster and make sure everything is cold. cool! cool. jason? -jason! he's gone. sure he's gone. you bring two policemen here and scare him half to death. he did what any normal american kid would do... split. -now don't worry, mr. sanford. we'll try and track him down. see if we can't reassure him. we'll just check out the neighborhood. i'm sure everything will be gravy. -groovy! i'll see you. groovy. groovy. you big dummy, you see that? -you bring those policemen here, and jason will be a runaway kid. you know what he'll be doing? he'll be in the penitentiary writing his story. and you know who he's gonna name it after? you. -you know what he's gonna call it? "superfink. " that's enough. that's right. and then when he gets out, he'll come looking for you... like i saw in a picture once with humphrey bogart. -a guy sent humphrey bogart up to the penitentiary... and when he got out, he came looking for this guy. he had a gun with two bullets in it, and i'll never forget how he said this. he said, "listen. i got two bullets in this gun. one for me and one for you, sweetheart. " -i'm going outside and look forjason. come out and look if you want to... but you ain't gonna find him, 'cause by now he's across the border, sweetheart. jason! jason, are you out here? jason, you out here? -if you're out here, say so. if you're not, say so, too, so we won't be making fools out of ourselves. lamont, come here. you know, i think jason is somewhere... out here in the yard, hiding. -you think so? i'll bet he is. i'll bet he ain't. jason, what'd you run away for? why'd you do that? -i was afraid those cops were going to take me down to juvenile hall. we wouldn't let them do that. come back in the house. yeah, come on in. i'm gonna fix you a nice chicken dinner. -necks and backs? no, gizzards and feet. before the police came, you was gonna tell us your phone number at home. now what is it? i don't remember. -come on, jason, tell him. i don't remember. okay, no gizzards and feet. 292-7399. okay, that's better. -it's the police. they're back again. let me go! just calm down. jason, where have you been? -mama! i've been worried sick. this is the little guy's mother. she put in a report that her son was missing. didn't i tell you your mother would be worried? -he told us that you'd be working all day. that's true, but he was supposed to go to his aunt's house... and stay with her overnight. he didn't tell us that. jason, what have you been doing all this time? -playing poker with mr. sanford. no, wait a minute. we was just playing for fun. he owes me $650. well, you better pay up. -we'll be on our way now, ma'am. bye. good-bye, and thank you so much for your help. yeah. smitty and hoppy, you all did a great job. -thank you. we like to think of ourselves as like the canadian mounted police. you know, we always get our man. yeah, why don't you guys celebrate and get yourself a woman? well, so long, father. -brother! brother. brother. well, we'll be going too. oh, no. -don't rush off. why don't you stay and have dinner with us? can we, mama, please? well, i certainly don't wanna cause you any more trouble. no trouble. -this calls for a celebration. we'll have a nice chicken dinner. gizzards and feet? no, legs and thighs. say, lamont, why don't you takejason out in the yard... and show him how to dribble a basketball? -okay. and, winnie... why don't you come into the kitchen with me while i flour these legs? hey, what's the matter with you? oh, nothing. i know what it is. -you miss jason. come on. tell the truth. yeah, well, i got sort of used to having him around. it was like having a little son in the place. -hey, pop, you got a son. remember? no, it ain't the same. you've changed... since you got big and grew your own mustache. i wonder where jason is today. -i don't know, but i know what i'd do if i was a mayor... or if i had a lot of money. i'd build a big park so kids could play in it... kids running around likejason. a park? yeah, a park where you can get them off the street... and they could play and stay out of trouble. jason! -hello, mr. sanford. hi, lamont. say, jason, what are you doing here? mr. sanford... remember you said it'd be all right if i came back here and played? yeah. -anytime. well, is it? hey, great! okay, you guys! good. -yea! sanford and son is recorded on tape before a live studio audience. well, there i was lying on the beach, which is really very strange... because i never go to the beach because i have this body hang-up. uh-huh. so there i was, lying on the beach... and i had this great body. -i think it was my sister's. anyway, it was a really hot day... and i was just laying there, baking. can i say if i had any clothes on? of course. well, i didn't. -and suddenly i started digging in the sand. and i'm digging and i'm digging, deeper and deeper. and then i feel... a cracker with peanut butter on it? i don't know how that got there. -yech. i'm all gunky. i better go wash. that's a good idea. let me get that. -uh, carol, could i see you a minute? sure, bob. is something wrong? somebody's been eating on my couch. oh, really? -who? i don't know. all i know is that somebody's been eating on my couch. bob, you're starting to sound a little like mama bear. does this belong to you? -oh, no. i hate chunk style. well, somebody likes it. i suppose this comb isn't yours. that's not my comb. -bob, as you can see, the hairs on this comb are brown. my hair is obviously red. roots don't count. i wonder whose it is. carol? -"the feminine mystique"? not my book. but listen, bob, i've been meaning to read it. you mind if i borrow it? carol, it isn't my book. -it belongs to whoever's been trespassing on my couch. all right, all right. now let's just put this all together. now, likes peanut butter, has brown hair... and reads the feminine mystique. i've got it. -the person who's been messing up your couch is... gotcha! are you sure it isn't the night watchman having a little snack on your couch? no, i talked to him. he's 70, he's bald... and all he reads is popular mechanics. -it's a strange feeling knowing somebody is using your office. what do you think, howard? it's pretty obvious to me. i'm surprised you haven't thought about it. hanky-panky. -what? hanky-panky. somebody's using your office as a cheap motel. oh, howard, i don't think anybody would. i don't think so either, howard. -how do you explain the peanut butter? well, whatever turns you on. howard. howard, somebody's been using my office. that's bad enough, all right? -i'll get it. okay- hello? this is dr. hartley, yes. no, no, there shouldn't be. -my private line? thank you very much for being so observant. that was my answering service. somebody's in my office right now. i'm gonna go down there. -bob, that could be dangerous. i mean, you don't know who's there or what they could be doing. i know what they're doing. bob, i think you'd better call the police. emily, it could be somebody i know. -i don't wanna get them in trouble. well, then i'm going with you. emily, it's dangerous. well, howard will be with us. oh, i'm sorry i can't go with you. -i'm going to australia. if you wanna wait, i'll be back thursday. thanks a lot, howard. hurry, emily. uh, bob, if i'm right about what's going on in your office... uh, you know, don't be nice to 'em and charge them a little something. -better let me lead the way. uh, mr. atlee? you're going the wrong way. my office is over there. right, but i'm telling you... -you won't find anybody in there. forty-five years, nobody's got past me. well, we just got past you. i heard your footsteps. i could tell they were benign. -that's a medical term meaning friendly. there's nobody in there. you left your radio on. i don't have a radio. oh? -i thought i heard music in there. you do hear music. okay. maybe somebody is in there, but they didn't get past me. uh, bob, maybe we should call the police, huh? -i'm the police. now here's what we'll do. he may be dangerous... so i'll count to three, and then we'll burst into the room. that way we got the element of surprise. okay. -one, two... aren't you gonna take your gun out? oh, that's just for show. on my 65th birthday, they took away all my bullets. ready? -one, two, three! it's locked. i think we just lost our element of surprise. shh. he probably didn't hear it. -all right, don't move! what? i got bullets in this gun. huh? jerry? -dr. robinson, what are you doing here? jerry, what are you doing here? i was just trying to sleep, but there's so much noise. and light. will you get that thing out of my eyes? -oh, it's those new alkaline batteries. they really make it bright. well, as long as everything is benign here... i'd better go feed the attack dog. he gets really mad if i'm late. -jerry, what are you doing here? i'm really sorry for sleeping in your office like this, bob. i wouldn't do it if i didn't have to. jerry, what's wrong with your apartment? are they painting it? -no, i just didn't feel like going there. but i know it was a mistake to come here. i'll just check into a motel. jerry, you have a perfectly lovely apartment. why are you talking about sleeping in offices and motels? -oh, well, i don't think this is a good place to talk about my problems. i'm glad my patients don't feel that way. uh, why don't i just wait outside? hey, no, emily, no. i mean, you're my friend. -i can talk in front of you. oh, jerry, i'm so glad you feel that way. sure. go ahead, jerry. i think i'll go get a cup of coffee. -oh, thanks, emily. yeah. bob, it's a woman again. gail and i are through. she picked up and left three and a half days ago. -and everything in every room reminds me of her. that's why i can't go back to the apartment. well, what happened? she dumped me for a 22-year-old kid. i'm getting old, bob. -jerry, what are you talking about? when women start throwing you over for younger men... you're getting old. i'm losing my hair. getting a pot. my nose is too big. -jerry, that's ridiculous. oh, come on, bob. don't be polite. you've noticed the old honker, huh? no, i didn't mean that, jerry. -how can you say you're getting bald? it's true, bob. sure, it's all fluffed up now. that's mostly air. when my head is wet, i am bald. -look, jerry, you're just feeling sorry for yourself. and at a time like this, it's not a good idea to be by yourself. so why don't you spend the next couple days with us? i don't wanna inconvenience you, bob. and, uh, what about emily? -well, emily won't mind. uh, emily? yeah? you don't mind ifjerry stays with us for a couple days, do you? of course not. -that'll really be nice. oh, it's no problem. we'd love to have you. oh, great. oh, uh, listen, emily, you wanna get yourself another cup of coffee? -you know. oh, i get it. you wanna talk private some more. no, no, no, i just wanna put my pants on. oh. -boy, how lucky can a guy get to have pals like you guys? oh, jerry, our home is your home. i'll go get the bedding, and we'll make up the couch. great. here, i'll give you a hand with your luggage. -oh, thanks, bob. listen, anything you want, we got. oh, that's okay, bob. i have to do some shopping tomorrow anyway. i'm gonna pick up some shorts, socks... shirts, couple pair of pants. -maybe a swimsuit. jerry, you aren't going to be here that long, you know. i mean, you'll be going back to your apartment pretty soon. oh, i don't know, bob. i can't imagine ever going back to my apartment. -ever? well, the couch isn't the most comfortable, but it's not bad for a night or two. is it, bob? that'll be great. i'm really getting to like sleeping on couches. -oh, and you have your own bathroom. you can use the guest bathroom. oh, that's fantastic. i'm really dying to take a shower. uh, it has a half bath. -it has everything but a shower. oh, that's okay. i'll go to work early tomorrow morning. tupperman's got this real deep sink. oh, don't be silly, jerry. -you can use our shower. yeah, when you wanna take a shower, just knock on the bedroom door... and walk through and use it. uh-huh. i'd better buy a robe tomorrow too. what time do you get up in the morning, jer? -uh, about 7:30. well, that'll work out fine. i'll get up and do my exercises, read my paper and then i'll take my shower. oh, great. well, then i'll put on the coffee... start breakfast, and then i'll take my shower. -i like to jog in the morning so i'll get up, take a couple laps around the block... come up, have my coffee and take my shower. you know, i get the strange feeling that sometime tomorrow morning... all three of us are going to be taking a shower together. more bacon, honey. no, thank you, dear. you know, this is very interesting. -an economist says in 1991 the dollar's gonna be worth 18 cents... but the metal in a quarter is gonna be worth 35 cents. how do you explain that? i can't. that's why i'm glad i teach the third grade. all i have to explain to them is why the old woman in the shoe had so many kids. -hey, you know we're out of shampoo in there? oh, i'll put it on the list. oh, hey, listen, no. let me buy it this time, emily. you bought it the last two times. -you sure use a lot of shampoo, jerry. i have to, bob. if i don't shampoo every day, it doesn't fluff up so good. ah, do you have the sports section there? yeah, i was just getting to it. boy, this is great. -i love this. jerry, can i make you some eggs? oh, yeah. could i have them basted again? not quite as runny as yesterday. -okay. toast? uh, yeah, one piece... whole wheat, buttered. okay- -oh, bob, you're a lucky man, living like this. we're both lucky, jerry. wow! did you read about the blackhawks-kings game? don't tell me. -hold it, all right? i like to read it by myself. oh. sure, i understand, bob. eight to five. -okay, who got the eight? well, don't you wanna read it yourself? not now. the blackhawks got the eight. good. -kings got the five. i figured that out. interesting recipe here. uh, jerry, your eggs are basting and your toast is in the toaster. when the toast pops up, your eggs will be ready. -i'm going to shower. oh, good. oh, uh, emily. hmm? we're almost out of hot water in there. -but there's a trick! learned in the navy. just use the hot, see? get wet, shut it off fast, soap up, and then rinse off. you might just have enough to make it if you're lucky. -thanks. i didn't want to laze around in the shower anyhow. jerry, you know, you're welcome to stay here as long as you want. thanks, bob. but you really oughta start thinking about facing the apartment again. -you know, it's sort of like getting thrown oh' a horse. you know, you get thrown off, you get right back on, and then you're all right. no, see, this is more like being trampled by a horse, bob. the only thing that'll cure me is time. plenty of time. -how much time, jerry? oh, i'm in the way here. i knew it. look, i'll just check in to a motel. it's no problem. -no, no, i was just curious. emily will want to know how big a turkey to order for thanksgiving. thanks for your offer, bob... but i'll be out of here long before then... i hope. morning, bob. -oh, hi, howard. do you have any peanut butter? yeah, it's right there on the table. listen, i'm on my way to the office. i'll see you at the office, bob. -hi, jer. how do you feel? fair. oh, you're still hung up on that girl, huh? i guess so, howard. -you know what your trouble is? you're just sitting around thinking about her. you should go out with lots of girls. you know, i got just the girl for you. i mean, she'll really make you forget. -her name is, uh... sure made you forget, howard. no, i don't think i'll ever forget gail. she was an exceptional woman. one in a million, howard. -i know a million of those. no, you don't. she was a beautiful person. she was strong, yet she was feminine. she was loving, tender, sweet. -she was intelligent, worldly. she had a wonderful maturity about her. wow. words just can't describe her, howard. she wasn't one of your typical beauties, you know. -she had an innate sensuality about her. when she walked into a room, every man wanted her. do you think there's a chance that, uh, you'll ever get back together again? after what she did to me? not a chance. -do you mind if i give her a call? morning. bob, do you know wherejerry is? i've been trying to reach him all morning. yeah, he'll be in for his 10:00 appointment. -well, what about his 9:00? arnold minter has been waiting in jerry's chair... for half an hour with his mouth open. he must have forgotten. what's the matter with him? oh, and why isn't he answering his phone? -jerry's been sleeping at our place for the past week, but don't tell anyone. oh, no, wait, wait, no. see, you can't just leave it at that. now, if i'm not telling anyone, at least i'm entitled to know what it is i'm not telling them. all right. -come on in, carol. oh, okay, bob, but just one minute, please. hi, pat? yeah, i found out jerry's not coming in till 10:00.. so tell arnold minter to shut his mouth and go to school. -right. bye- okay, now tell me about jerry. carol, remember the other day we found the peanut butter in the couch? yeah. -and the comb with the brown hair in it. hey. i'll bet that brown hair was jerry's. and he's been the one that's been using your couch. but why would he be using your couch? -wait a minute! that book. i'll bet he was reading the feminine mystique... because he broke up with his girlfriend and he was upset, right? of course! and he couldn't go back to his apartment... because they spent so much time there, so he started sleeping in your office. -you found out, you took him home... and that's why he's been so despondent and couldn't keep his appointments. is that it, bob? close. come in. hi, jer. -hi, carol. listen, jerry, i was just wo... what can i do for you, carol? well, jerry, actually! wanted to... -is this bothering you? oh, no, no, no. oh, please, just work. just give me something to bite on... a stick, anything. i'm sorry, carol. -what can i do for you? well, jer, you know, i've been thinking... people work together, they see each other every day... and they have no awareness of each other's problems. and if you share problems, it gets so much easier, you know? gee, carol, i can't handle any of your problems right now. -oh, no, jerry, no, no. i wasn't talking about my problems. i meant your problems. i can't handle any of my problems either. hey, wait a minute. -how'd you know i had problems anyway? oh, sorry, i promised bob not to tell. oh, bob. well, thanks anyway, carol. i appreciate your concern, but... -no, no, no, off, off. please, off, off, jerry, please. now, you cannot cover your feelings with a lot of noise. no, you have to face this sooner or later. wounds heal if you let them. -what do you suggest, carol? take me out on a date. you'll be surprised how much it'll help. it'll help you. what about me? -come on, jer, i like you. i mean, i really care about you. and it hurts me to see you like this. and i know exactly what you're going through, trust me. oh, yeah? -you ever been thrown over for a 22-year-old guy? as a matter of fact, yes. oh, so come on, jerry. we'll have a great time. we'll have dinner, some wine, and then maybe later a little dancing, huh? -come on. it doesn't sound bad. i'm not really dressed for it. the stores are closed. wonder if i could pick up a suit at the drugstore. -oh, hi, bob. oh, hi. jerry, we better get going. we're gonna miss the 6:12. i'm not going with you tonight, bob. -i'm going out with carol. oh, good. what time do you think you'll be home? 11:00? 12:00? -gee, dad, this is friday night. i thought! could stay out until 1:00. i don't think this is gonna work, carol. jerry, you've gotta face your apartment sooner or later. -we'll face it together. i know as soon as i open this door, the memories of gail are gonna start up again. oh, don't be silly. it's all in your head. now, look, this is your apartment. -she's gone. there's no more gail. nice try, carol. oh! gail, huh? -yeah. the memories are starting up again. well, we'll just get rid of those memories. yeah? we're gonna need a big box. -here's a couple more. oh, here's another one. oh, boy, when you get hung up on someone, you don't keep it a secret. jerry, why do you have so many pictures of this girl? at first i thought it was great she was having all these pictures taken of herself. -you know the guy she dumped me for? yeah? her photographer. oh, jerry. oh, i just can't stand being here, carol. -i mean, all these memories. this is only the living room. i got three more rooms and a kitchen. oh, the great times we had in that kitchen. would you believe a face like this could cook? -i'm gonna have to move, carol. now, jer, here, give me that. now don't you think you're being dishonest with yourself? down deep, aren't you a little angry? oh, i guess so. -then go with it, jerry. get into it. all right. i just hate myself for losing her. jerry, you did not lose her. -she rejected you. oh, yeah. now, do you... do you enjoy being dumped? do you have a dump wish? -oh, no. well, then quit being mad at yourself. be mad at her. right. ah. -good for you, jerry. hey, listen, we'll get rid of all of the pictures. okay. i'll get a wastebasket. we'll make a night of it. -okay. this is a great idea, carol. this is just what i needed. fantastic. fantastic. -this is wonderful, carol. just what i needed. oh, i shouldn't have done that. why? i just ripped up a picture of my mother. -well, that's it for this room. i'm gonna take a little rest before i get into the bedroom. there's a photo mural in there. jer, listen, this may not be the time to lay this on you, you know... but did you ever notice that you always go out with the same type of girl? i mean, jerry did you ever think of just going out with a woman? -a nice, honest, hard-working woman... who will treat you like a human being. carol, you know that i think you're a wonderful person. oh, oh, sure. no, no, carol. i really mean that. -you're my friend. mm-hmm. you really care for me, and i can feel that. i need that, carol, and i really appreciate it. but if we started going out together, we might just end up hating each other. -try me. well, what are you doing tomorrow night? sorry, i'm busy. hey, come on. what do you expect with such short notice? -listen, we're here together tonight. is there anything else i can do to take your mind off gail? you know how to get rid of a tattoo? i'm really gonna miss you guys. we'll miss you too, jer. -it's gonna seem strange living alone with bob again. well, i sure do appreciate it for helping me over this rough period. well, as kind of a going-away present, jerry.. we got you some new luggage. thank you very much, bob. -well, that's it. thank you for everything. well, just thanks. you know, i'd do the same for you, if you ever decide to... well, you know. -oh, uh, listen. i started a new bar of soap in the shower. well, you can just keep it. well, there i was lying on the beach, which is really very strange... because i never go to the beach because i have this body hang-up. uh-huh. -so there i was, lying on the beach... and i had this great body. i think it was my sister's. anyway, it was a really hot day... and i was just laying there, baking. can i say if i had any clothes on? of course. -well, i didn't. and suddenly i started digging in the sand. and i'm digging and i'm digging, deeper and deeper. and then i feel-- a cracker with peanut butter on it? i don't know how that got there. -yech. i'm all gunky. i better go wash. that's a good idea. let me get that. -uh, carol, could i see you a minute? sure, bob. is something wrong? somebody's been eating on my couch. oh, really? -who? i don't know. all i know is that somebody's been eating on my couch. bob, you're starting to sound a little like mama bear. does this belong to you? -oh, no. i hate chunk style. well, somebody likes it. i suppose this comb isn't yours. that's not my comb. -bob, as you can see, the hairs on this comb are brown. my hair is obviously red. roots don't count. i wonder whose it is. carol? -"the feminine mystique"? not my book. but listen, bob, i've been meaning to read it. you mind if i borrow it? carol, it isn't my book. -it belongs to whoever's been trespassing on my couch. all right, all right. now let's just put this all together. now, likes peanut butter, has brown hair... and reads the feminine mystique. i've got it. -gotcha! are you sure it isn't the night watchman having a little snack on your couch? no, i talked to him. he's 70, he's bald... and all he reads is popular mechanics. it's a strange feeling knowing somebody is using your office. -what do you think, howard? it's pretty obvious to me. i'm surprised you haven't thought about it. hanky-panky. what? -hanky-panky. somebody's using your office as a cheap motel. oh, howard, i don't think anybody would. i don't think so either, howard. how do you explain the peanut butter? -well, whatever turns you on. howard, somebody's been using my office. that's bad enough, all right? i'll get it. okay- -hello? this is dr. hartley, yes. no, no, there shouldn't be. my private line? thank you very much for being so observant. -that was my answering service. somebody's in my office right now. i'm gonna go down there. bob, that could be dangerous. i mean, you don't know who's there or what they could be doing. -i know what they're doing. bob, i think you'd better call the police. emily, it could be somebody i know. i don't wanna get them in trouble. well, then i'm going with you. -emily, it's dangerous. well, howard will be with us. oh, i'm sorry i can't go with you. i'm going to australia. if you wanna wait, i'll be back thursday. -thanks a lot, howard. hurry, emily. uh, bob, if i'm right about what's going on in your office... uh, you know, don't be nice to 'em and charge them a little something. better let me lead the way. uh, mr. atlee? -you're going the wrong way. my office is over there. right, but i'm telling you-- you won't find anybody in there. forty-five years, nobody's got past me. well, we just got past you. -i heard your footsteps. i could tell they were benign. that's a medical term meaning friendly. there's nobody in there. you left your radio on. -i-i don't have a radio. oh? i thought i heard music in there. you-you do hear music. okay. -maybe somebody is in there, but they didn't get past me. uh, bob, maybe we should call the police, huh? i'm the police. now here's what we'll do. he may be dangerous... so i'll count to three, and then we'll burst into the room. -that way we got the element of surprise. okay. one, two-- aren't you gonna take your gun out? oh, that's just for show. -on my 65th birthday, they took away all my bullets. ready? one, two, three! it's locked. i think we just lost our element of surprise. -shh. he probably didn't hear it. all right, don't move! what? i got bullets in this gun. -huh? jerry? dr. robinson, what are you doing here? jerry, what are you doing here? i was just trying to sleep, but there's so much noise. -and light. will you get that thing out of my eyes? oh, it's those new alkaline batteries. they really make it bright. well, as long as everything is benign here... -i'd better go feed the attack dog. he gets really mad ifi'm late. jerry, what are you doing here? i'm really sorry for sleeping in your office like this, bob. i wouldn't do it if i didn't have to. -jerry, what's wrong with your apartment? are they painting it? no, i just didn't feel like going there. but i know it was a mistake to come here. i'll just check into a motel. -jerry, you have a perfectly lovely apartment. why are you talking about sleeping in offices and motels? oh, well, i don't think this is a good place to talk about my problems. i'm glad my patients don't feel that way. uh, why don't i just wait outside? -hey, no, emily, no. i mean, you're my friend. i can talk in front of you. oh, jerry, i'm so glad you feel that way. sure. -go ahead, jerry. i think i'll go get a cup of coffee. oh, thanks, emily. yeah. bob, it's a woman again. -gail and i are through. she picked up and left three and a half days ago. and everything in every room reminds me of her. that's why i can't go back to the apartment. well, what happened? -she dumped me for a 22-year-old kid. i'm getting old, bob. jerry, what are you talking about? when women start throwing you over for younger men... you're getting old. i'm losing my hair. -getting a pot. my nose is too big. jerry, that's ridiculous. oh, come on, bob. don't be polite. -you've noticed the old honker, huh? no, i didn't mean that, jerry. how can you say you're getting bald? it's true, bob. sure, it's all fluffed up now. -that's mostly air. when my head is wet, i am bald. look,jerry, you're just feeling sorry for yourself. and at a time like this, it's not a good idea to be by yourself. so why don't you spend the next couple days with us? -i don't wanna inconvenience you, bob. and, uh, what about emily? well, emily won't mind. uh, emily? yeah? -you don't mind ifjerry stays with us for a couple days, do you? of course not. that'll really be nice. oh, it's no problem. we'd love to have you. -oh, great. oh, uh, listen, emily, you wanna get yourself another cup of coffee? you know. oh, i get it. you wanna talk private some more. -no, no, no, i just wanna put my pants on. oh. boy, how lucky can a guy get to have pals like you guys? oh,jerry, our home is your home. i'll go get the bedding, and we'll make up the couch. -great. here, i'll give you a hand with your luggage. oh, thanks, bob. listen, anything you want, we got. oh, that's okay, bob. -i have to do some shopping tomorrow anyway. i'm gonna pick up some shorts, socks... shirts, couple pair of pants. maybe a swimsuit. jerry, you aren't going to be here that long, you know. i mean, you'll be going back to your apartment pretty soon. -oh, i don't know, bob. i can't imagine ever going back to my apartment. ever? well, the couch isn't the most comfortable, but it's not bad for a night or two. is it, bob? -that'll be great. i'm really getting to like sleeping on couches. oh, and you have your own bathroom. you can use the guest bathroom. oh, that's fantastic. -i'm really dying to take a shower. uh, it has a half bath. it has everything but a shower. oh, that's okay. i'll go to work early tomorrow morning. -tupperman's got this real deep sink. oh, don't be silly,jerry. you can use our shower. yeah, when you wanna take a shower, just knock on the bedroom door... and walk through and use it. -uh-huh. i'd better buy a robe tomorrow too. what time do you get up in the morning, jer? uh, about 7:30. well, that'll work out fine. -i'll get up and do my exercises, read my paper and then i'll take my shower. oh, great. well, then i'll put on the coffee... start breakfast, and then i'll take my shower. i like to jog in the morning so i'll get up, take a couple laps around the block... come up, have my coffee and take my shower. you know, i get the strange feeling that sometime tomorrow morning... all three of us are going to be taking a shower together. -more bacon, honey. no, thank you, dear. you know, this is very interesting. an economist says in 1991 the dollar's gonna be worth 18 cents... but the metal in a quarter is gonna be worth 35 cents. how do you explain that? -i can't. that's why i'm glad i teach the third grade. all i have to explain to them is why the old woman in the shoe had so many kids. hey, you know we're out of shampoo in there? oh, i'll put it on the list. -oh, hey, listen, no. let me buy it this time, emily. you bought it the last two times. you sure use a lot of shampoo, jerry. i have to, bob. if i don't shampoo every day, it doesn't fluff up so good. -ah, do you have the sports section there? yeah, i was just getting to it. boy, this is great. i love this. jerry, can i make you some eggs? -oh, yeah. could i have them basted again? not quite as runny as yesterday. okay. toast? -uh, yeah, one piece-- whole wheat, buttered. okay- oh, bob, you're a lucky man, living like this. we're both lucky,jerry. wow! -did you read about the blackhawks-kings game? don't tell me. hold it, all right? i like to read it by myself. oh. -sure, i understand, bob. okay, who got the eight? well, don't you wanna read it yourself? not now. the blackhawks got the eight. -good. kings got the five. i figured that out. interesting recipe here. uh, jerry, your eggs are basting and your toast is in the toaster. -when the toast pops up, your eggs will be ready. i'm going to shower. oh, good. oh, uh, emily. hmm? -we're almost out of hot water in there. but there's a trick! learned in the navy. just use the hot, see? get wet, shut it off fast, soap up, and then rinse off. -you might just have enough to make it if you're lucky. i didn't want to laze around in the shower anyhow. jerry, you know, you're welcome to stay here as long as you want. thanks, bob. but you really oughta start thinking about facing the apartment again. -you know, it'''s sort of like getting thrown oh' a horse. you know, you get thrown off, you get right back on, and then you're all right. no, see, this is more like being trampled by a horse, bob. the only thing that'll cure me is time. plenty of time. -how much time,jerry? oh, i'm in the way here. i knew it. look, i'll just check in to a motel. it's no problem. -no, no, i was just curious. emily will want to know how big a turkey to order for thanksgiving. thanks for your offer, bob... but i'll be out of here long before then... i hope. morning, bob. -oh, hi, howard. do you have any peanut butter? yeah, it's right there on the table. listen, i'm on my way to the office. i'll see you at the office, bob. -hi, jer. how do you feel? fair. oh, you're still hung up on that girl, huh? i guess so, howard. -you know what your trouble is? you're just sitting around thinking about her. you should go out with lots of girls. you know, i got just the girl for you. i mean, she'll really make you forget. -her name is, uh-- sure made you forget, howard. no, i don't think i'll ever forget gail. she was an exceptional woman. one in a million, howard. -i know a million of those. no, you don't. she was a beautiful person. she was strong, yet she was feminine. she was loving, tender, sweet. -she was intelligent, worldly. she had a wonderful maturity about her. wow. words just can't describe her, howard. she wasn't one of your typical beauties, you know. -she had an innate sensuality about her. when she walked into a room, every man wanted her. do you think there's a chance that, uh, you'll ever get back together again? not a chance. do you mind if i give her a call? -morning. bob, do you know wherejerry is? i've been trying to reach him all morning. yeah, he'll be in for his 10:00 appointment. well, what about his 9:00? -arnold minter has been waiting injerry's chair... for half an hour with his mouth open. he must have forgotten. what's the matter with him? oh, and why isn't he answering his phone? jerry's been sleeping at our place for the past week, but don't tell anyone. -oh, no, wait, wait, no. see, you can't just leave it at that. now, if i'm not telling anyone, at least i'm entitled to know what it is i'm not telling them. all right. come on in, carol. -oh, okay, bob, but just one minute, please. hi, pat? yeah, i found out jerry's not coming in till 10:00.. so tell arnold minter to shut his mouth and go to school. right. -bye- okay, now tell me aboutjerry. carol, remember the other day we found the peanut butter in the couch? yeah. and the comb with the brown hair in it. -hey. i'll bet that brown hairwasjerry's. and he's been the one that's been using your couch. but why would he be using your couch? wait a minute! -that book. i'll bet he was reading the feminine mystique... because he broke up with his girlfriend and he was upset, right? of course! and he couldn't go back to his apartment... because they spent so much time there, so he started sleeping in your office. you found out, you took him home... and that's why he's been so despondent and couldn't keep his appointments. -is that it, bob? close. come in. hi, jer. hi, carol. -what can i do for you, carol? well, jerry, actually! is this bothering you? oh, no, no, no. oh, please, just work. -just give me something to bite on-- a stick, anything. i'm sorry, carol. what can i do for you? well, jer, you know, i've been thinking-- people work together, they see each other every day... and they have no awareness of each other's problems. -and if you share problems, it gets so much easier, you know? gee, carol, i can't handle any of your problems right now. oh, no,jerry, no, no. i wasn't talking about my problems. i meant your problems. -i can't handle any of my problems either. hey, wait a minute. how'd you know i had problems anyway? oh, sorry, i promised bob not to tell. oh, bob. -well, thanks anyway, carol. no, no, no, off, off. please, off, off,jerry, please. now, you cannot cover your feelings with a lot of noise. no, you have to face this sooner or later. -wounds heal if you let them. what do you suggest, carol? take me out on a date. you'll be surprised how much it'll help. it'll help you. -what about me? come on, jer, i like you. i mean, i really care about you. and it hurts me to see you like this. and i know exactly what you're going through, trust me. -oh, yeah? you ever been thrown over for a 22-year-old guy? as a matter of fact, yes. oh, so come on,jerry. we'll have a great time. -we'll have dinner, some wine, and then maybe later a little dancing, huh? come on. it doesn't sound bad. i'm not really dressed for it. the stores are closed. -wonder if i could pick up a suit at the drugstore. oh, hi, bob. oh, hi.jerry, we better get going. we're gonna miss the 6:12. i'm not going with you tonight, bob. -i'm going out with carol. oh, good. what time do you think you'll be home? 1 1:00? 12:00? -gee, dad, this is friday night. i thought! could stay out until 1:00. i don't think this is gonna work, carol. jerry, you've gotta face your apartment sooner or later. -we'll face it together. i know as soon as i open this door, the memories ofgail are gonna start up again. oh, don't be silly. it's all in your head. now, look, this is your apartment. -she's gone. there's no more gail. nice try, carol. oh! gail, huh? -yeah. the memories are starting up again. well, we'll just get rid of those memories. yeah? we're gonna need a big box. -here's a couple more. oh, here's another one. oh, boy, when you get hung up on someone, you don't keep it a secret. jerry, why do you have so many pictures of this girl? at first i thought it was great she was having all these pictures taken of herself. -you know the guy she dumped me for? yeah? her photographer. oh,jerry. oh, i just can't stand being here, carol. -i mean, all these memories. this is only the living room. i got three more rooms and a kitchen. oh, the great times we had in that kitchen. would you believe a face like this could cook? -i'm gonna have to move, carol. now, jer, here, give me that. now don't you think you're being dishonest with yourself? down deep, aren't you a little angry? oh, i guess so. -then go with it,jerry. get into it. all right. i just hate myself for losing her. jerry, you did not lose her. -she rejected you. oh, yeah. now, do you-- do you enjoy being dumped? do you have a dump wish? -oh, no. well, then quit being mad at yourself. be mad at her. right. ah. -good for you,jerry. hey, listen, we'll get rid of all of the pictures. okay. i'll get a wastebasket. we'll make a night of it. -okay. this is a great idea, carol. this is just what i needed. fantastic. fantastic. -this is wonderful, carol. just what i needed. oh, i shouldn't have done that. why? i just ripped up a picture of my mother. -well, that's it for this room. i'm gonna take a little rest before i get into the bedroom. there's a photo mural in there. jer, listen, this may not be the time to lay this on you, you know... but did you ever notice that you always go out with the same type of girl? i mean, jerry did you ever think of just going out with a woman? -a nice, honest, hard-working woman... who will treat you like a human being. carol, you know that i think you're a wonderful person. oh, oh, sure. no, no, carol. i really mean that. -you're my friend. mm-hmm. you really care for me, and i can feel that. i need that, carol, and i really appreciate it. but if we started going out together, we might just end up hating each other. -try me. well, what are you doing tomorrow night?

what's happening to her? she doesn't breathe. there's something wrong. -take her away. quick. it's nothing. just a little faintness. nothing at all. -what happened? she hit the girl too hard. what happened exactly? she hit her in the wrong place. it's not my fault sir. -these girls nowadays are too frail. so they break at the first touch. how did you put her inside? as usual. how many times i told you i didn't want any more dirty business in my place? -it's incredible! in the past girls were strong. you hit her and they screamed. and that was all. but today a small hit and... -they don't breath anymore. and then she had recognized one-eye. and the dress. the dress! well it's... -it's all new. come on. make it disappear like the rest. and close all the doors for not letting any odor out. jean! -jean! cops came at my home! don't touch me. you promised me i would be safe now. you promised me and made me sign up. -go away. i don't want to see you here anymore. looking at the polls do you think the constituents from the working-class and rural areas will vote for you? i hope so. yes. -how is it going with the meetings and contacts in the country? people are much more welcoming in small towns than in big cities. because in the cities... there's so much turmoil... you didn't notice something special? no. -nothing. except that our deputy has eyes of different colors. yes you're right. and then? then nothing. -here. you'll be happy mr muller. i've done exactly as you asked. i ironed the white, starched the blue. i starched the pink one too. -that's enough talking mrs abelard. we're in a hurry. you're always in a hurry mr muller. here they are. i also stitched all your buttons. -speaking of buttons... could you stitch mine? at this place? take off your trousers then. we're in a hurry. no time for that. -i can't then. it's not correct. of course you can, they do it in every laundry shop in the usa. really? if the yankees do it then it's different. -don't move. or i sting you! don't move! come on! i don't move. -it's not me. it's not me. it's "him". naughty boy! thank you mrs magloire! how much mrs magloire? -naughty boys! good bye mrs magloire. good bye mrs magloire. these guys! it was fun, huh? -i didn't know she was your type of girl. i only did this to arouse you. to arouse me? you know my motto... if there's no hair under their armpits there's no pleasure. -i prefer unusual situations with or without hairs. i mean it. i like women with strong body odor not women smelling pharmacy. odors are in the head, old pal. you don't understand me. -i'm a cerebral man. you see? you're cerebral? what's so important after all? hairs or no hairs... -a mustang follows us. don't look back. three guys inside. shit. i smell cops. -wait. beware pigs! hell's gonna break loose! let's get inside there. so you're looking for someone? -i'm sure they weren't cops. i saw them at caron's party earlier. i don't remember them. he blamed me because of this cunt. but who else might have recognized me? -don't be so nervous. it can't be so serious. i'm afraid for my life, don't you understand? listen. i must treat his eyes later. -i will talk to him about you. alright. by the way, how is his new eye? fine. but he will lose the other. -what? his retina is screwed. what are you saying? i already explained to you. listen. -the retina is a sensory membrane perfectly transparent which contains photoreceptor elements. when the light comes it is reflected and hits back sensory layers. thus the nervous influ spreads to the neurons and the optical nerve. a phone call for you mr karayan. sorry about last night. -my flush makes a hell of a noise. it's not my fault. i talked about it to the... to the landlord but the plumber never came. it's not my fault, you know. i take some meds to cure my diarrhoea. -but with those nasty canned goods and those hormone chickens. it also seems that the jelly around liverwurst is made of human bones. they come from india. funerary bones. you know, i'm fed up... -i can't live anymore in this building. at my old age... i'm forced to climb to the first floor... to go to the toilets. no, it's not possible. the one-eyed man you say? -he has been condemned for murder and released two years after. his name was muller then. cardoni? you learnt some things. no, no. -i don't know about that. by the way, about my coat... could you give it back? it seems you don't have money to buy you one. at the janitor yes. thank you. -yes. alright. you know, i'll call the plumber myself when my diarrhoea is passed. where are you going man? prefect latour please. -he's very busy at the moment. write him a letter. a letter? i don't think we're so well acquainted that you can call me "man". hubert! -baptiste! what a surprise! for me too. you didn't change. but you did change a little. -your hairs have changed... i admit. i have too much of what you have less. damn baptiste! custom fridge. -sit down. i see that you still have your two little tenants in the legs. the two bullets? yes they're still there. you remember? -25 september 1944. what day? thursday. i knew it was a thursday. we were lucky on that day. -yeah right. the proof. you're still in a great shape. cheers! i've been told that you converted to buddhism and that you earned your life writing envelopes. -if you've heard that it's probably true. you know... i never understood how your life took this turn. how a guy like you, practically the best in our squad... i always thought it was because of my accent. -you know it's not the reason. you see, hubert... one day i gave a slap to a scumbag. it caused him to lose his eardrum. he was the son of a high-rank official. -good lawyer, good doctor, diagnosis, trial... police had to pay 3.000.000. and i was fired. the scumbag was caught for good six months later. you must understand. -for me the police was...the police. not choirboys. like today's cops. they vote communist. stop your nonsense. -tell me how i can help you. i'd like to have a look in one of your files. that's all? you're at home here baptiste. if you want i can call an archivist. -thank you. throw your weapon! what do you want in the end? you hear me? who sent you? -he can't see us on his right. we must bypass him. (inaudible) take him by your left. he sees nothing on his right. -shoot him! so... mr muller do you... sorry, mr cardoni if you prefer. could you please tell me your story? -i don't know what you mean. i'd like to know for instance... what happened to your eye? this one. you had two of them when you got out of jail. you didn't stay long by the way for a murder charge. -and now you're one-eye. so... it deserves an explanation. i'm hard of hearing. i can fix your good eye and make you real ugly if you don't talk at once! i'm sorry to bother you mr karayan but you make such a racket that i jumped in my bed. -with my bellyache and the light timer not working i almost fell down on my way to the toilets. so if you please... i'm sorry mr radinet but as you can see i have a guest. you used green bullets to shoot big louis, the bartender of mr jean caron's bar, maybe a futur deputy, who brought you out of jail one year ago. -and now he wants you dead. who told you? mr jean caron himself. it's not true. stop! -i'm not lying. you want me to tell you where is your missing eye. it's your boss wearing it. i also know that he smuggles heroin. the election is just a cover. -you see, i got you. but there's a way out for you. i need proofs. do you understand? i need...proofs. -you're happy with yourself? you're just a bastard! you betrayed us! come on, come, on, my darling! keep quiet, you make too much noise. -i would never have believed it coming from you. you tried to betray me. why? i always... always treated you like a brother. you know that with this eye problem i was becoming blind. -serge had arranged this deal between us. and then... thanks to you i saw light again. and thanks to me you also saw light again. you were condemned to a 25 years sentence. -we see the light with the same eyes. i always treated you... because of this as another me. you sadden me... trying to make me fail. a great sadness. it's not true! -you're a fuckin' bastard! you wanted me dead to take my second eye! bastard! in the left pocket. it's expensive. -it's very expensive. once i met love and it was a gas. it was very long ago. the guy was a plumber. he was much much smaller than me. -up to my shoulder. he was very strong, a bit fat. i like big fat ones. you're a little fat by the way. i never noticed that before. -well he was not really fat but very strong and very muscular. very hairy. his feet smelled terribly bad. it was awful. he lived in a very small room. -note from the translator : "and it goes on and on.... well guys blame me as much as you want but frankly i can't keep up translating the loads of bullshit this girl is spitting. it's an insult to anyone's intelligence. i'll resume service when this supposed to be funny "third degree-arty-free jazz- improvisation" nonsense ends for good. -imho it completely ruins this good little flick and shame to b. laffont for accepting this, the worst part of her entire career. well, it's not even a part. it's a non existing part. or she had an affair with the director or some footage had to be added to make a 80 mn feature movie. anyway see you later when our story resumes." -by the way... timings : meatisgood translation : aloysius70 cinemaggedon exclusive- not for sale! the green bullets have been stolen from mr louis. it's caron who schemed the whole thing. for what reason? to get rid of his partner. -he was becoming more and more dangerous to him. but why? he was his connexion to the mob. so caron sent cardoni to snuff big louis the bartender with the green bullets to make believe... go on, it's thrilling. -it's the end. the election campaign was a cover for his heroin smuggling. his what? heroin smuggling! take note that caron and cardoni have very strong bonds. -for what reason? because of the transplant. i don't see. the eye transplant. caron is wearing one of cardoni's eyes. -an eye? which one? arrest caron and you'll find the drug when you search his place. don't make me laugh mr karayan. already when you were a squad member you were reproached your hardness but it was not hardness. -you only wanted to have the last word at any price. and today you put yourself in the same situation. come on, lose your airs. i tell you the truth! the truth? -what truth? it's your truth mr karayan but in our world only one truth counts. the real life, the real facts. your truth is worth nothing. you want to arrest mr jean caron? -have you become crazy? of course i want to arrest him. without me. why not arresting our president while you're at it? you're a dreamer mr karayan. -you should write some poems. speaking of poems listen to this. mr jean caron, the winner of the legislative elections, has just started his mandate in a masterful way by inaugurating a center for handicapped children almost entirely funded by him. what do you answer to that? isn't it beautiful? -come on, don't make that face. you did what you could and that's just fine. what exactly do you have against mr jean caron? admit inspector that you almost believed into my story. why? -why do you say that? what i just told you... heroin hidden in underwater hideouts. the transplanted eye of a deputy. and your head beheaded! -it wasn't true? it was to have fun at my expense? exactly! damn karayan! you must come back in the force! -we need more funny guys like you! life spins and the world changes but to the political man the people, naturally suspicious, asks a program and a clear political leadership. messiahs, prophets, madmen and poets are blacklisted if not destroyed for lack of discernment as if a program improvised in the moment, day to day, was less false than a fiction spreading on the long term. to have a program you have to compromise in politics and worldliness but without program you become suspect. to say that what i offer is an utopia is an evidence that i want to put forward in the hope that the realization of my hopes won't stay back. i will consider my work as only mine and not that of a party where already several compromises surface in which i don't want to compromise myself. -i propose myself at the sole object of criticism and praise without any party and to see farther without any country, without any borders, without any notion of nationality. if i have to declare war, it's against war, nationalism, division and work without joy. my self-criticism leads me to tell you this. i touched the political game and my hands got dirty. but i have just been given a new vision that enlightens me on the road to follow. -and the bitterness, the sourness, the lust for power that the political game could get me were replaced by a vision of a fun world where the hell that our earth appears to support would be possible to cast aside. so... work will not be the goal in the life of the new man that i propose to create but rather the well-being and fulfillment of every thing, every being that is born. the free man, free at last, will work toward the abolition of the slave man, the machine man and bureaucracy. hello mr jean caron. speak a little quieter please. -to supress tax, borders, currencies, to make available to all and unconditionally all the progress, if we can say, that the science can bring, is, i think, the first duty to perform not by a man or a party but by all those who will let themselves to be convinced through the whole wide world that without the liberation of each people there will be not, any more than it has ever been, liberation, not only for the masses, but for the soul of man. on a material plan i therefore propose to free the poor from poverty and the rich from wealth. while on the spiritual plane the same frontiers will be abolished. is this a program or an utopia? -i have the courage to tell you that this is an utopia and i ask you to help me make it concrete as no one has ever tried to realize such a program. because man is not a computer and i don't want anymore to see him live to get old but to flourish. thank you for listening to me. may you hear me. mr. lang, the phone company tells me that you've only had this number for a few months, and that it's a private number. -someone who mixed up the ingredients, falsified the formula... you're under arrest for murder. you see, this mr. smith has some sort of formula that he's trying to sell. i found out that they actually use poisons when they make cosmetics. belladonna, aconite. -i need that formula. make me an offer. beautiful, isn't she? every time i go to the bathroom, there she is. next victim, please. -plasma and sutures ready, nurse? oh, shut up, karl. take courage, sir. just think how many years dr. frankenstein must've spent on his research. yes. -but he only made one little monster. he didn't live in our jungle. he didn't have to succeed. he didn't have to... oh, never mind, that's enough. -a miracle. that's all i want. that's all we've ever wanted. right, your majesty? here's another variation on the caftan theme, this one flowing and soft, in a soft print, and with its sparkle and glamour right down the front. -viveca, darling, what are you doing here, peddling false eyelashes, huh? david, love, where did you get the new hairpiece? surely you don't make anything that clever? oh! still my lover, huh? -now, don't be embarrassed because i caught you at a fashion show. i used to butter up the designers, too, when business was bad. well, if those girls are wearing a sample of your new eye shadow, lang cosmetics is in trouble. my, what a sweet little dress. -don't waste your ammunition, honey. my secretary, that's all. shirley blane. sorry, love. viveca. -seriously, darling i-i-i've been watching beauty mark's stocks go down the last two months. now... well, since i always like to help a compatriot if they seem to be in trouble... mr. lang, why don't you just go gobble up a pill company? -it isn't surprising, of course. you haven't hit with a really good new product since you, uh, pirated those french lipsticks two years ago. is that where you stole the silly eye shadow? i'll always think of you as the queen of cosmetics. but if things do get too bad, if you ever do need to get out of this crazy rollie-coaster business... -oh, david, you innocent lamb, are you in for a surprise. excuse me, miss scott. i think you dropped your program. oh, yes, how silly of me. of course i did. -bye-bye, darling. i'll send flowers to your funeral. voila. yes. the sun. -i love the sun. the fountain of youth stuff i'm not happy with yet. and vanish, i threw out. it sounds too much like old-fashioned vanishing cream. oh, no, no, no, no. -miracle is right. because it is a miracle. imagine, a harmless cream that can actually make wrinkles disappear. it's like alchemy. it's the dream of the centuries. -it's what women have longed for since ancient egypt. well, i went ahead and reserved the network television time. but our credit's not very good, so unless we can start mass production by the end of the month... of course we can. and i want you to be ready with full-color inserts for all the fashion magazines. -darling, we're going to put them all out of business. when david lang sees the... i told you... your majesty. murch, dear. -dear, come in. we were just talking... yes, yes. the fruits of a whole year's labor, my most sublime accomplishment, the dream of all mankind, the dream to save all our skins. you're wobbling. -yes, and i have hastened, my queen, from a final secret testing of this elixir, this m-masterpiece of my chemical genius. who told you to do any more testing? what if one of your models talks? i thought my orders were quite clear. on the basis of last week's reports... -those reports were wrong. it was a fluke. i jumped the gun. one little sample that broke down. i tried combination after combination since. -this miracle of ours will never be any more useful for concealing wrinkles than axle grease. i got your note on the back of the program, dear, but i really haven't time to talk right now. oh, i... i just thought that you might like to see something that mr. lang did today. today i could care less what that devil did. -not that i'm not grateful for my little pipeline, you understand. is something wrong, miss scott? acid stomach. what have you made a photocopy of now? oh. -a check. he didn't see me do it, of course, but mr. lang went to the bank and got that check himself this afternoon and then he came back and locked it in a desk drawer. i'm happy that david lang has $200,000 to give anyone. who's harry smith, his bookie? no, that's not his real name. -it's the name of a man who... who's only been to the office once or twice, late at night, when nobody else is there. except you, of course. hmm. i appreciate your efforts. oh. -i was only there because mr. lang wanted to trick him. you see, this mr. smith has some sort of formula that he's trying to sell. and mr. lang asked me to bring in this older friend of mine and mr. smith rubbed some of the formula on... on her skin. then when mr. smith was gone, mr. lang tried to take scrapings from her cheek to analyze. -go on. yes, but there wasn't any left. because whatever there was, i got. what is that? -well, on this really old woman that mr. smith brought with him the first time... watch. oh, sweetheart, you've got a smudge right there by your eye. i do? yes, but i'll... -i'll rub it off for you. here, come sit down. that's right. sit right down. now, uh, close your eyes. -you know, that must be cigarette ash. i smoke much too much, too. mmm-hmm. there. keep your eyes shut. -there. thank you, ma'am. you're welcome. isn't that incredible? wrinkles just disappear, and it lasts all day. -oh, viveca, i don't know if you can beat him to this... but you know how anxious i am to find a better position. and the thought of a man like david lang getting his hands on a discovery like this just makes me sick. shirley, tell me one thing. what does harry smith look like? well, he... he's... he's about medium height, thick brown hair, not more than 35 years old. -why isn't your husband home yet? mrs. kelly, i do not pay my lawyers to play squash! you tell him... oh, never mind. dd -so that's where it was. how did you get in here? you still keep it in the flower pot. well, at least you haven't forgotten that. there are a lot of things i haven't forgotten, darling. -what are you going to do with that? don't you know? peddle it to david lang as a sample of your wares? don't worry, dear. i'm alone. -poor old murcheson. if he only knew. he really did work a miracle, didn't he? he had some help. sure he did. -someone who mixed up the ingredients, falsified the formula, stole it, and is now going to sell it to the highest bidder? yeah, something like that, i guess. no. nothing like that. because we're going to put the thief away. -are we? hello. this is viveca scott. yes, scott. i'm a personal friend of the chief's. -i want to be put through to him right away. yes, i'll wait. you still like those, uh, tequila cocktails with the organic cactus juice, right? i've always thought that was an appropriate drink for you. what's the matter, love? -are the police closed tonight for inventory? you slimy little snake. oh, no, vivi. i'm your hairy little teddy bear. remember me? -what do you want for the jar? uh-oh. you can have the jar. but, uh, it isn't worth very much without the formula. we'll have to negotiate on that. -where is it? it's not written down anywhere? it's mine. is it? you stole it! -prove it. karl, i need that formula. our sales are down. we've lost some exclusive outlets. and that louse david lang is closing in on me. -miracle. i need a miracle. make me an offer. i never knew you had a sense of humor. remember, if we call you the inventor, you'll get royalties on the gross. -say, um... 10%%% on each unit? it's not enough, viveca. not nearly enough for a miracle. what do you want? you want me? -mmm-hmm. darling, we have no problem. i've always liked you. it was only a matter of respect. frankly, i didn't know you had it in you. -are you surprised? mmm. but i like it. i'll bet you do. now you know, love, -i always like to mix a little business with pleasure. the formula is... what else? what do you mean, "what else?" uh-uh! -now that's no way to speak to your... new partner. partner? never in a million years! well, it's either that or you go to work for david lang. what do you say, babe? -it's up to you. partner. you have no idea how long i've waited for this moment. waited and planned. and now... -no thank you, darling. you're not going to make a sucker out of me like you did murcheson. there was a time i'd have given you anything. now, quite frankly, i wouldn't give you... oh! -karl? karl. karl. morning, lieutenant. would you like to see the corpse? -uh, no, thanks. no. i'll just talk to the doctor. hey, it. columbo! find something in there? -no, my breakfast, that's all. what time did they get you up this morning, sergeant? about an hour ago, lieutenant. a kid looked through the window there and spotted the body right here, just after daylight. what was this guy, some kind of scientist? -a chemist. he worked for beauty mark cosmetics. he must have had two jobs, because we found these smaller pay stubs in the desk there. and i also found his bank book in there, lieutenant. and this magazine i found over there on the table. -what is that, a microscope? yes, sir. and, oh, lieutenant, here's some notes the doctor made. you know, i haven't seen one of these things since high school. and there's a blood stain. -the doc seems to think this will match up as a murder weapon. however, i haven't found any prints. he was hit from behind, lieutenant, by a heavy object. you know, you better be careful. feels like there's some broken glass on the floor. -apparently they broke a drinking glass. anyway, lieutenant, it's all in here. he died from a fractured skull. excuse me one moment, would you, sergeant? hey, lieutenant, what are you looking for? -salt for my egg. i usually carry a shaker in my pocket. here, here's salt. that's just flour. maybe once, not now. -something else was in there. oh, yeah. what do you think it was? i have no idea, lieutenant. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. -eight-sided bottom. octagonal. yeah, looks that way, looks octagonal. hey, lieutenant, this just might fit in with a theory i'm developing. as you've probably noticed, this is a hippie neighborhood, right? -and this guy lessing had a lot of chemical supplies lying around. suppose somebody thought they were drugs. or maybe they were drugs. because... i want to show you something, lieutenant. -he didn't get paid very much by beauty mark. lieutenant. beautiful, isn't she? we haven't really checked on who that is yet, lieutenant. you don't know? -no. she is beauty mark. i mean, her real name is viveca scott, but, uh... listen, every time i go to the bathroom, there she is. i'm... -really. as long as i can remember, on every one of my wife's jars on the lotion, on the tubes, on the cream... i guess you're not married, huh? no, i'm not. excuse me, sergeant. -the kid's boss is outside. now? her? lieutenant, i told you it was a kid who first spotted lessing's body, remember? well, that kid worked for a travel agency. -and it's his boss that's outside. be right with you. that's right, this mr. lessing placed a hurry-up order for all sorts of reservations, plane tickets yesterday afternoon. well, when i couldn't reach him by phone last night to confirm, i got a little worried because it is a common racket, you know. -so i didn't have my breakfast this morning. i sent the boy over here to snoop while i started canceling reservations. excuse me, sir. these are tickets to where? oh, paris, uh, george v, then a week on the riviera. -all deluxe accommodations. and he was to leave first class today on a 747. naturally, i had to guarantee deposits. uh, excuse me, sir. sergeant, i thought you told me that mr. lessing was hard up? -his latest bank statement shows that he had a balance of less than $300. but here, on the back of this magazine, he apparently did some doodling. there's dollar signs, figures... he did it, or somebody else did. yeah, anybody can do this doodling. -there's no check on the handwriting. excuse me, lieutenant. this mr. lessing was to have been in my office this morning with a check for more than $3,000. hear that, lieutenant? lessing must've been expecting some money. -it's a funny kind of pencil to doodle with. all right, adele, enjoy it. it's your first drink of the day. all right, sylvia, come on. a little more, a little more violet, teddy. -just a touch. good. good. good for you? sure. -ferdy, i thought this was going to be a lipstick layout. but of course, love. just wait till they open their mouths. i mean, just wait until you see what i've created for you. dd -can i help you, sir? i guess i came in the wrong door. sorry. all right, laura. enjoy it. -miss scott, right? yes. i'm sorry. forgive me. i didn't mean to intrude. -you know, upstairs they told me you'd be down here, but this is some building you got here. i mean, you got everything... do i know you? you don't know me, ma'am, but i sure know you. every time i shave, there you are. -it's a pleasure. my name is it. columbo. i'm from the i.a.p.d. uh, do you have a moment? oh, um, uh, c-carry on, uh, ferdy. -come this way, please. all right, adele, let's take it from the top. murdered? how horrible. yes, it's terrible. -what did you say his name was? lessing? oh. not that nice young man in dr. murcheson's department? the chemist, ma'am, yes. -yes. but i understand he was going to be fired today. oh, well, i had nothing to do with him, lieutenant. poor boy. i wonder if he had any family? -no, ma'am, he didn't. you know, in that connection, maybe you could help me out. i was upstairs, and i wanted to ask about him, but somebody in the laboratory, you know, they wouldn't let me in there. like fort knox around here. i had no idea you had such top secrets in a nice ladies' business like this. -i'll fix that, lieutenant. you can go anywhere you want and ask anything you want. we have no secrets from the police. oh, thank you. i knew you'd say that. -yes, let me have darla, please. just from the type of person you are. she's not? oh. how long? -oh, no, never mind. i'll call back. you know, i gotta tell you honestly that, uh, i feel like i've known you for 100 years. i feel you're like a member of the family. -i mean, you're like, uh... like lydia e. pinkham. oh, well... thank you. oh, well... uh, my secretary is out right now, but i'll take care of it as soon as she returns. -i, um, can't help but think you're wasting your time. but if you'd like to talk to my personnel director, he could probably tell you more about mr. lessing. no, i've already spoken to him and he showed me mr. lessing's file. oh, listen, you know, in that connection, uh, there was something funny about that, you know. it was the only file folder in the whole cabinet that had been shoved in backwards. -i... i don't understand. i'm sure it don't mean anything. i was just wondering about it. because personnel files are confidential and the file is usually locked. -so, i was just curious who might have a key and who wouldn't have a key. well, um, i have one, and, uh, probably a dozen other people. i could get you a list if you like. no, that won't be necessary. maybe later. -i won't bother you anymore. no trouble, lieutenant. oh. lieutenant, you will let me know the minute you have any idea who that poor boy's murderer was, won't you? oh, yes, ma'am. -dd oh, yes, dora, um, there's a it. columbo in the building. i think he's on his way up to the lab now. would you please see... miss scott. -there is something maybe i ought to tell you right now because it might not have been a murderer. i think it was a woman that killed him. you do? or at least a woman was there last night. you see, on the back of this television magazine that just must have come in the mail just yesterday, there was a lot doodling. -black figures, black numbers, and dollar signs. yes? mmm. well, they were written with a black eyebrow pencil. i spotted it right away because that's what my wife always uses when she makes out her grocery list. -when she goes into her purse, that's the only kind of pencil she can ever find. then you're wasting your time here, aren't you, lieutenant? what do you mean? talking to a redhead. brunettes use black eyebrow pencil. -dd do you know if he had any girlfriends? now, how would i know if he had any girlfriends? i just work here, that's all. no, i was just thinking, uh, you know, maybe somebody here in the company? -because you can't help noticing, there's an awful lot of female employees around. models, lieutenant. i mean, you don't think they'd be interested in a mere chemist's salary, do you? besides, this guy karl was one of those guys that stuck pretty much to himself. guy with a lot of ambition, you know what i mean? -i guess he figured if you can't bed the mother hen, why waste time with the chickens? mind if i ask you something? what are you doing all this for, anyway? because whenever they stop one of these projects, i gotta get rid of everything... the papers, the test materials, everything. why? -to keep the other companies from finding out. come on. what was that project mr. lessing was working on, anyway? who knows? they never tell anybody anything. -just her nibs and a few top executives. gee whiz, you'd think that you were building secret weapons around here. why, we're not? do you have any idea how much the women of america spend to make themselves beautiful? anyway, whatever it was, it didn't work because everybody in this section got canned. -oh. really? uh. excuse me just one minute. um... -what's the matter? you got to throw this out? yeah, of course. everything goes. what would i use this for, anyway? -i mean it's got no label, it's got no writing, nothing. every test product has a special container, lieutenant. like the one you're holding. here, let me show you. hold this. -now, there were only a dozen of these. it's a way of coding, that's all. coding, you know what i mean? different colors, different shapes. and one is missing. -hmm. you mind if i keep this? for what? they've all been sterilized. there's nothing in them. -oh, well, it's sort of nice. you keep things in it. cuff links, tie clasp. i kind of like the bottom. eight sides. -what do they call that, octagonal? oh, miss scott, your phone's been ringing and ringing. i know, dora. never mind. i don't want to be bothered yet. -don't let anyone in to see me for a little while. miss scott! i'm sure glad i caught you. i want to thank you for letting me look around. boy, this cosmetic business. -it sure is a long way from just hair curlers and face grease. you know, i had no idea. fellow showed me an eyelash, it was made out of real live mink. and the third floor, they don't do anything up there but cook up perfume for men. am i right? -right. what's the world coming to? well, come back anytime you like, lieutenant, and find out. thank you. i think i've seen enough. -oh, listen. there's one other thing i wanted to ask you about. uh, the fellow that lessing worked with, dr. murcheson. uh, i can't find him, and i was wondering whether you could help me? apparently, he goofed up on some expensive project that he was working on. -gee, i've seen this picture every day for 12 years. you're a beautiful woman. at any rate, uh, i've got dr. murcheson's telephone number and i've called him, uh, but i haven't had any luck. can you help me? -well, just try the nearest saloon. i'm sure that's the only place he's welcome anymore. say, miss scott, can i ask you a personal question? yes. it's, uh... -well, you know, it has to do with these pictures. you always wear a beauty mark. only this morning, you don't have it on. oh! is that all? -it's just one of those things i never do before lunchtime, darling. bye-bye. no, what i was wondering about was, uh, how you put those things on. i mean, do you stick them on, or do you paint them on, or... well, i can tell you're not interested and your mind's someplace else. -don't worry about it. i'll ask somebody else. oh, no, lieutenant, i don't mind telling you. i use an eyebrow pencil, of course. a black one. -bye-bye, ma'am. goodbye, sir. um, extension 517, please. hello, i'd like to speak with miss shirley blane. you mean she hasn't come to work... -oh, i see. oh, no, uh, i'll call back. in about half an hour? thank you. hello? -hello? hung up. phone was ringing every few minutes, so i thought i'd answer it. i hope you don't mind. oh, i'm very sorry that i wasn't here to help you, sir, but i've been very busy taking dictation. -now, what can i do for you? yes, i... may i get that for you? thank you. all those cigarettes yours? -yes. may i tell you something? yes. whenever i see a pretty young girl like you doing all that smoking, i say to myself: -"why does she take the chance?" thank you. hey, wait a minute. my cigar. now, you were telling me that you're... -yeah. i'm it. columbo. i'm from the i.a.p.d. isn't that a shame? good-looking young guy like that. -yes, i haven't had a chance to read it yet. why are you here, lieutenant? oh, i just want to see mr. lang for a moment. the girl in the outer office said maybe you could slip me in. may i tell him what it's about? -oh, don't bother, i'll do that. you don't mind if i borrow that paper, do you? no. i'll bring it back. sorry, lieutenant. -karl lessing. i never heard of the man. you mind taking another look? well, i never met him, either, as far as i can remember. now, why would i? -well, you know, he wasn't actually a scientist like it says there in the paper. you know, really, he was just an assistant chemist. you mean over at beauty mark. i read faster than you might think. well, i've been there a few times, of course. -i mean, after all, viveca scott is one of my oldest and dearest friends. so it's quite possible that i've run into him sometime or another. oh. but really, columbo, look, this is one of the biggest businesses in the country. -i... i mean, there are literally thousands of chemists in cosmetics. now, why you should come here and question me about some unknown, i... i just don't understand. -mmm-hmm. mmm. hey, i gotta pay that. um... one moment. -that's it. that's what? mr. lang, the phone company tells me that you've only had this number for a few months and that it's a private number. well? well, i was sort of wondering why this karl lessing would have it. -you see, my office told me that they found this number scribbled on a small piece of paper in mr. lessing's wallet. well, why the devil didn't you say that in the first place? well, i wanted to make sure first, sir. you see, even the phone company makes mistakes, and, uh, inasmuch as this number was the only thing about you that anybody found... yes, of course. -i mean it... it just never... wait a minute. hmm. find something there, sir? well, there are a lot of young chemists in and out of here. -you know, we pay the highest wages in the business, so naturally they come here looking for jobs. just a second. shirley, come in here a minute, will you? we do know mr. lessing was expecting some money. and maybe a lot of money. -now, don't get ahead of yourself, lieutenant. i haven't offered anyone a job for months. oh, shirley, look, have a look here, huh? it's not a very good picture, but there was a young fellow in here the other day, maybe once before. i didn't have time to talk to him. -doesn't look familiar. lessing? no, that's the wrong name. but he was about, uh... well, average height, curly hair. -it was something like, uh, johnson, jefferson maybe. oh. well, you may be right, sir, but you didn't ask me to fill out a card on him or anything like that. that's all that there was. -i'm afraid i didn't hear anything he said, lieutenant. i'm very sorry, sir, but you see, i'm so busy i don't have time to notice everyone who comes into the office. why would he change his name? if he was already working for viveca? -she demands devotion from her handsome young men. oh, i don't mean it in quite that way, no. well, protocol, discretion, who knows? i still can't figure out how he'd get your private phone number. unless he looked at it, lieutenant? -just as you did? mmm. sorry i couldn't be of more help. me, too, sir. you see, this lessing was up to something, i think. -but this cosmetics stuff is such a complicated thing. i mean, all this top secret research going on, and people spying on other people's products. so, you know, i thought maybe you could give me some clue. if you're questioning the american system of free enterprise, lieutenant, you've come to the wrong place. besides, here at lang, we don't need to bother with that sort of thing. -$10 raise. did you ever hear of anything so insufferably male? then what did he say? to that silly policeman? you don't think david lang would let himself be concerned with anything human like a murder, do you? -maybe. if you're so sure that the man he wrote the check to, that harry smith, is really karl lessing, then maybe they got into a fight over the price of the formula or something. they were trying to cheat each other, weren't they? and you think that mr. lang killed him? oh, no. -no way. you see, i saw that picture in the newspaper first this morning. and then, when mr. lang came in and noticed it there on my desk, well, he didn't say a word. but i thought for a moment he was going to faint. oh, uh... -dear, may i see that? i'm sure it's not your size anyway. and then do you know what he did? shirley, we can't stay here all day. well, he said he was going downstairs for just a moment. -but where he really went was the bank. i know, because i've got a girlfriend over there. and do you know what he did? he deposited that $200,000 check right back into his account. well, so what? -that still doesn't mean he couldn't have murdered... oh, no, i'm positive he... $450. i wonder if i could afford that. i really have to go. i know, but, viveca, dear, if mr. lang didn't kill that nice young man, then who do you suppose did? -shirley, dear, why don't you come out to the farm this afternoon? you know, take that same back road. there's something i want to talk to you about. but how can i leave the office? i mean, mr. lang might have errands for me to run, but i don't know if... -all right, if you can't make it. i just thought... well, we haven't talked about you yet. 3:00? how about 3:00? -good. that same place that we met before. good. why, miss scott, i didn't see you. is there something we can show you? -no, just slumming my way to lunch. bye-bye. bye. legs up. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. -1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. together, girls, together. legs up. -1, 2, 3, 4. up, up. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. -1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. together girls, together. legs up. 1, 2, 3, 4. -up, up. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. -legs up. 1, 2, 3, 4. file in here, girls. file in line here. file in line. -all right, girls. lay down. lay down. 1...2...3...4. 1...2...3...4. -that's right, girls. be happy. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. lieutenant! -legs up! what on earth are you doing here? oh, nothing much, ma'am. so what kind of place is this, anyway? you know, they... -when they said you were up on your farm, i thought, well, maybe you were raising avocados. don't tell me you've never heard of a fat farm? oh, this is a fat farm. gee, you know, it looks more like a temple. -so this is a place where people come to reduce. oh, and, uh, mmm, body revitalization. we have a whole program here: beauty, and hair design, uh... but our main emphasis is on, uh, reducing. -i see. get the leg up. this would be a terrific thing for my wife. you know, she's got a little problem... well, we'll put her on the list. -um, it's only $200 a day. now, did you have something to say to me? i think we ought to forget about that waiting list and see if i can find a more inexpensive... as you can see, lieutenant, i... i'm on a very tight schedule. -if you didn't have anything to say, i really must be going. oh, ma'am, listen, don't worry about that. you go about your business. no, i'm not gonna interfere with your schedule. you do whatever you have to do and i'll just tag along and don't you worry about it. -you know who i met today? a fellow named david lang. had some very nice things to say about you. i can imagine. but you know what? -it's just possible that this mr. lang might know more than he's willing to admit. i mean, about what mr. lessing might have been up to and how he expected to get more money... lieutenant, david lang hasn't told the truth about anything for 50 years. you know, i was wondering about that because, you know, you're so different, and that's what i admire about you. -when you don't like somebody, you... you just come right out and you say it. i mean, when you fired dr. murcheson, and lessing, and everybody else. lieutenant, i have to go in this way. i'm afraid you're just going to have to come back another day. ma'am, you just do whatever you have to do and don't worry about me. -i certainly don't want to interfere with anything. nude sunbathing, lieutenant. i'll be in town tonight if you'd like to call me then. uh, no, that's all right, ma'am. no, i'll just wait right out here. -you do whatever you have to do. uh, oh... oh, i just thought of something. uh... uh... didn't you say you wanted to talk to dr. murcheson? -uh, yes, but we haven't been able to find him. oh. that's because i found him. he's right through that door. go right, straight down the corridor, and to your left. -oh, fine. all right, well. thank you very... uh, i'll... t-talk to you later. -viveca. viveca, where have you been? i can't wait. mr. lang just thinks i've gone to the store... listen, love, we can't talk now. -oh! oh, let me get it. let me get it. goodness. uh, that lieutenant is here, so we can't talk now anyway. -i bet he'd be rather curious if he saw us together, wouldn't he? well, no one ever has. yes, but there's really no reason why not, is there? well, no. let's just, uh, wait till this silly business is over with, that's all. -let me walk you to your car. that's my kidney! oh! help! whoever you are, come liberate me. -olga. fight for your sex! oh, good, take off your raincoat, dressing room over there, and take off your clothes, please. i'll be right with you. don't let her do it. -stand up, man. stand up. fight! they'll be taking over the world. now, you stop that. -we already have. i'm a policeman and i'm here to see a dr. murcheson. oh. dr. murcheson, a policeman to see you. oh! -rescue the marines! get out of here. out. ah, you're a naughty boy. and i drink too much. -and you drink too much. thank you very much. ja. you're all nice girls. you know, it would have done you some good, but... -what a way to sober up. uh, dr. murcheson, my name is it. columbo, i'm from the i.a.p.d. i know, i know, viveca told me. you're looking into karl lessing's murder. poor kid. -as matter of fact, i am looking into the murder... but i wanted to ask you something. you know, i'm surprised to find you here. i thought that she was angry at you. you don't understand her yet, do you? -nobody does. i don't quite follow what you're saying. because she knows i'll always love her. that's all. because i understand. -the goddess of beauty, sir, never changes. that's why she is what she is. that's all i want, viveca. just... just to be like you. but with my present lousy job, it's... -of course, dear. i'll find a place for you. that's what i wanted to talk to you about. on the executive level? because, you know, that's really the only way to do anything. -but there just isn't time to... what're you looking for? did you lose something? oh, my cigarettes. i must've dropped them. -oh, no, wait. someone will see you. i have some. this will hold you. thanks. -i didn't even know that you smoked. there's a lot we have to learn about each other. but we will, don't worry. whew. taste terrible? -i'm not surprised, with the amount of cigarettes you smoke. i think that's our first order of business, to get you the cure. maybe in europe. and then we'll start fixing up your office. on the top floor, right next to mine. -yes. thank you, viveca. i won't ever tell anybody anything. don't worry. bye. -goodbye, shirley. oh! couldn't you find, uh, murcheson? oh, yes, ma'am, i found him, but, uh... i guess he doesn't know very much, or he can't remember very much. -one or the other. well, i'm sorry you wasted your time here. well, actually, ma'am, it was you that i wanted to talk to. i'll tell you what i was curious about. do you have a moment? -go on. throat. what i was curious about was, uh, if the murderer stole something from mr. lessing that night... what makes you think something was stolen? well, you see, we know that mr. lessing worked on a modest salary. -now we find out that he's planning this big expensive trip to europe. so, obviously he's expecting... lieutenant, i really don't know what you're talking about. but i have over a dozen ladies out there waiting for my encouragement. please excuse me. -you don't mind if i just tag along, do you? no! i-i'm sorry. i really am. but you've taken up enough of my day. -alice. up. you're cheating. remember your goal. now, come on. -harder. come on, that's a girl. that's it, mary. pay attention, now. up! -up! uh, charlie. yes? uh, pick up the tempo a little, i'll be back. come on, girls. -up! down. up. you really are a very stubborn man, aren't you, lieutenant? do you actually believe that i could've had anything to do with that poor mr. lessing's death? -is that why you're chasing me? miss scott, are you aware that karl lessing had a photograph of yours which he put in his dartboard and which he used as a target? a what? now don't get excited. it doesn't mean anything. -a lot of people wanna throw darts at their bosses. you know, as a matter of fact, a while back here there was a captain of detectives, and he and i didn't get along. i used to have fantasies about him. i always had my hands around his throat. you belong in a museum. -have you ever been in lessing's place? lessing's? don't be ridiculous. i'll tell you why i asked that question: because we have a little problem trying to figure out how the perpetrator got in. -now, it occurred to me that, you know, a young guy like that might have girlfriends that he'd give a key to. but why would one of the girlfriends be interested in one of those red jars? a what? one of those red jars. you know, the kind that you used in your last research projects? -because the measurements fit. there's no doubt that what was in that flour tin was one of those eight-sided red jars. so maybe mr. lessing knew something about that research material that dr. murcheson didn't. look, i don't wanna interfere with your exercising. you go back and do what you were doing. -but listen, you know, that's all just speculation. that don't mean anything. uh, what i really wanna do is clear up some gossip i keep hearing. and this will be my last question. miss scott, you're a beautiful woman, you got a lot of life in you. -a handsome young man comes to work for you. mr. lessing is an attractive single man. and you heard that i might've dated him a couple of times, is that it? well, that's quite true. do you know how long ago that was? -that was two years ago and there've been hundreds since then. i like young men, lieutenant, lots of them. and if that shocks your ancient masculine double standard, i'm sorry. sorry, ma'am. i didn't mean to upset you. -i'd better run along. you've been very cooperative. thank you very, very much. 3, 4. up! -1, 2, 3, 4. oh, say, you wouldn't know what poison ivy looks like, would you? i mean, when you get it? like right here on this finger, here? uh... -i'm afraid i don't. broke out a couple of hours ago. itches like the devil. you know, i got a nephew out at u.c.l.a. he's resident dermatologist out there. -he said it sounded like poison ivy. a dermatologist? well! then it must be, uh, poison ivy. yeah. -i tell you, the only problem is, i... a guy down in headquarters, sgt. kiester, german guy, his hobby is horticulture. you know, plants? uh, he told me there is no poison ivy in southern california. not enough moisture. -well, then maybe it isn't poison ivy. then i went out to u.c.l.a. i showed it to my nephew. he looked at it. he said it is poison ivy. -lieutenant i did not kill karl lessing. i couldn't kill a fly. oh. miss scott, wait. -i just couldn't stop him. the cleaning girl had the door open. it's all right, dora. lieutenant. miss scott. -wanna compliment you on your office. it's very impressive. well, thank you. what can i do for you? dora, as soon as the directors arrive, would you please send them right in? -actually, i just came here to apologize. it will only take a second. apologize for what? i thought i upset you yesterday. i regret that. -however, what's done is done. uh, did you happen to see this? oh, yes, i heard about that. she was a very pretty girl, wasn't she? you didn't happen to know her, did you? -no, i only asked because she was mr. lang's secretary. as a matter of fact we did meet once. just the other day. she was with david at a fashion show. we spoke, but that's all. -why? mmm. i just thought maybe you could help me, that's all. tell you, this guy david lang, he's the toughest nut to crack i've ever run into. but listen, never mind. -that's my problem. there was nothing wrong with this, um, shirley blane's death, was there? well, in a bad car accident like that, it's kind of hard to tell. but one of the doctors, he thought her eyes were sort of dilated. -well, what does that mean? could be drugs. a quick-acting poison. you know what i found out? i found out that they actually use poisons when they make cosmetics. -belladonna, aconite. not that much anymore, lieutenant. no, huh? not anymore. mmm. -but there was one thing they found. a copy of an enormous check from mr. lang to a fellow named harry smith. what was funny about this is that the bank tells me that mr. lang drew this check the morning before mr. lessing was murdered and brought it back, and put it back into his account the afternoon after he was murdered. well, what does david say? -what does a clam say? well, his closet is rather full of snakes. once he opens his mouth on anything... no, but really, lieutenant, i think, uh, just because david was once a chemist himself doesn't mean that he'd try to use drugs on anything as horrible as that. he was? -he was a chemist? well, that might be very helpful to me. thank you. that just might help me. thank you. -thank you very much. i'm gonna get out of your hair, miss scott. i see you have other things to do. bye-bye. say, i was going to show you something funny. -doesn't that look awful? but i tell you, it sure stops the itching. incidentally, that was poison ivy. my nephew got the report in this morning. oh, you poor thing. -but i tell you, that's not the funniest part. here's the funny part. you know, the problem was, where did i get the darned stuff? because they don't have any here in california, except maybe in one place. lessing's place. -hard to believe. what are those? oh, we always take a lot of photographs. you don't want to see that. uh, here we are. -i guess what mr. lessing did was, i guess he had a second job and he worked for a medical lab every once in a while. ah, that looks like latin. but i couldn't guess that because i'd only taken spanish. but you know what that means? not poison ivy? -exactly. that's the extract of poison ivy. that's called "urushiol." and that's the stuff that makes your hand itch. now, he must've had a jar around, you know, somewhere around the apartment, and somewhere i must've touched it. -so i sent a whole crew of guys out there and now they're going to comb that place and see whether they can come up with that. do you have the time? i think i have mine. oh, dear. uh, miss scott, i wanna thank you for being so patient. -mmm. and i wanna thank you for being so nice yesterday. oh, anytime, lieutenant. goodbye. murch. -oh, viveca, not the whip. i'm doing it. i've got 15 miles on this thing already. murch, dear, i wasn't going to bother you with this for a while but i'm curious about something and i just have to know the answer. i love you. -what else? if i brought you a quarter of a cup of something, could you analyze it for me right away? viveca, if it's over 86 proof... oh, stop being foolish. i'll call you in a few minutes. -oh, uh, murch, um, don't tell anyone. do i ever? sorry to disturb you, ma'am, but i have a court order here to search these premises. all right, you fellows check back in there. you stand here. -excuse me, ma'am. this is outrageous. who's responsible for this? what are you looking for? let me put it this way. -if you found a little red jar with an eight-sided bottom, would you get promoted? just take it easy, lady. just take it easy. i'm taking it easy. as a matter of fact, i could offer you a drink and help you search if i weren't so furious. -no luck yet, lieutenant. no luck at all. lieutenant, would you please do what you have to do and get out of here? how long is this going to take? damnedest case i've ever seen. -will you answer me? how long is this going to take? i found the poison ivy. that's good. where? -at lessing's place. i know at lessing's, but where? it was in the bottom drawer of the file cabinet. the drawer was locked. you were nowhere near that drawer. -i know. i never opened the drawer. still trying to figure out where i got my poison ivy. poor thing. still worried about your itch. -you worried about yours? no. i couldn't help noticing, ma'am, the past few days you've been scratching your hand and wearing gloves. so? been out of state recently? -no. neither have i. lieutenant, you amaze me. number one, you don't even know if i have poison ivy. the doctor will tell us that. -number two, even if i do have it, it has nothing to do with karl lessing because i never touched that vial. you're under arrest for murder. sergeant, would you step out of the room for a moment? hey, lieutenant, another second is all... don't worry about it. -okay. all right, fellows, let's go. did you ever have the feeling when you're about to go on a trip that you forgot something? you know, just as you get in the cab to go to the airport, you have an anxious feeling that you forgot something, that something is missing? that's the feeling i got the first time i saw that microscope. -i remember i turned and i saw it, and i said, "ls that a microscope?" i started walking toward it, and i remember the fingerprint man, he was talking. i didn't hear him good because i was distracted by the feeling that something was missing. you know what i mean? that can be very annoying. -it was, until an hour ago. i ran into george, my brother-in-law. he's just back from mexico today. he said, "take a look at these." he knows that i love family pictures. -he took these out, handed them to me, and he said: "these are the best slides i've ever taken." slides. slides. that's when it hit me. -where there's a microscope, there's always a slide. you see, we got our poison ivy in the same place. we both touched the slide. you touched it when you picked up the microscope and hit him. that's when the slide broke. -i got it when i put my hand on the floor and it touched a piece of glass. i remember because i said: "fellows, feels like there's broken glass here." the fingerprint man, he thought the glass came from a drinking glass. wow. very good, lieutenant. -officer! officer, take care of miss scott, and i'll be right with you. um, give your brother-in-law a message for me. something appropriate. -subtitles by subransu jpf subtitles by subransu jpf the west? no, it's the periphery of a city: mexico. -here, as in the large cities, metropolises are suffocated by smog... and harassed by an unstoppable rush, agitated by the crowding of buildings, of houses and things, of souls and bodies, here are also lost cities, the hangover of anguish. the fraud to hope is done and people leave their homeland... thwarting the nobility of the countryside that longs for the hour of rescue. the man and his family leave their home and land... wanting to join the city center, apparently new, but already old. then as in the classic quote, hope is lost, and trying to rise all cynicism is acquired to support the falls. -there in that desert of loneliness and anguish... man, claiming to find new horizons, sometimes falls into crime, and as in all big cities, even from country to country, the belts of the periphery... are a challenge to the honesty of those who arrive. promiscuity arises, then slaughters childhood and youth. now we broadcast... from the sand mines on the outskirts of the federal district... our program "here is mexico". and there comes the sign of our colleague... who will interview some people... who have come from different parts of the republic. go ahead. -do you already have a steady job? no. they are our relatives, i invited them, they are my guests. but do they have sufficient financial resources? what? -if they have sufficient financial resources. what is that? money, banknotes, to live, to eat. no i'm telling you mister, we go to my friend, he'll put us up. and how many are you? -well, my family has five: my dad, mom, grandmother, daughter and me. and you who invited them, where you're from and how many are there in your family? face the camera please. from there, and we are eight. -and where eight can eat, so can sixteen. just add a bit of water to the beans and there you go. in addition we have two hands, we can work. i can work as street-sweeper, farmhand, bricklayer. well, what would you say? -sir, let us stay here. no, i'm not saying anything, ma'am. i'm going to put up my booth i sell enchiladas and tamales, and my children newspapers... and chewing gum, we won't starve. very well, ma'am. -okay kid! with god's help we'll have a house for our children, who won't be as poor as us. ah, so optimistic! are you from here, sir? i've been here 15 years already. -of course they'll have their cardboard houses, then these animals come with their tractors, to demolish them, and we have to rebuild them. and they demolish them, again and again, until you send them to the trash. yes! and here their children will be poorer than ever. i also came there, from jalisco, 15 years ago. -what a success! and i had my land, my animals, and i brought my mom. and i brought my girls, they were pretty, the wicked ones. well here they took them away from me. they also picked up your wife. -who's asking you, ox? not that yours was faithful to you, either! the hunger is sickly! poor women, they have to eat something! better if they hadn't come, so help me god. -in addition, besides indian...! no sir, please not that word, they'll cut us off, we're in the air. please calm down a bit and we'll finish the story. we'd like to finish the story... not that word sir! -well be fined, please calm down a bit. behave yourself as decent people. tell them to calm down so we can continue the story. just a few more minutes, and we'll end this right away. it's just impossible. -we'll have to cut. every man for himself. gentlemen, i beg your pardon, this transmission... child, please! sorry, this transmission... -we had absolutely nothing to do with this incident. we end the program: "here mexico". our next program: "married, virgin and victim." please turn off the tv, it makes me nervous. sorry, my wife is a bit nervous. -you don't mind if i turn off the tv?

he crossed the curtis line! -he came into my house, told me lies. you think i'm crazy, owen? a little. i lost my temper there. but that little worm did something worse. -the pretty mom he let pass this morning? she's down at the barn right now crawling with the ripiey. twenty-five years, owen. twenty-five years i've been going out to fight these alien bastards... ... showthemtheypickedthewrong place, knocked on the wrong door. -and frankly, iaddie, the tank is running a little low. luckily for me, there's one bit of good news in this blizzard of bullshit. i have you. to lead the assault today and to take over for me tomorrow. what are you talking about, abe?

-i remember. then i got hit. i gotta tell you something weird. the night i got hit, i was standing there and across the street, i saw duddits. just like he was that day we first saw him back in derry. -he was calling out for help and everyone was ignoring him. then he looked over at me. he looked directly at me. and he motioned for me to come to him. you believe i saw him, don't you? -yes, sir, i do. duddits loves me, i know that. he loves us all. he would die before he'd ever hurt us. so why was he calling me into the street to get hit? -maybe there's more to the story we don't get yet. you don't know shit. moore: name it! i'll name it after we come up with a small wager. -50 bucks. what's the subject? in the movies, when people wake up together they immediately start kissing and going at it. but they never get up first, take a leak and brush their goddamn teeth. which is pretty much necessary when you wake up. -what's it called when you got a constant woody? you mean priapism. see? i'm practically priasmic. priapismic. -whatever! it's hard. that's what you're betting on? i can name the one movie where they acknowledge the scuzzy facts of life. i'll give you a quarter. -a quarter from you. 50 bucks from you. promised land. promised land? never heard of it. meg ryan and what's his name? -reefer sutherland. kiefer. from, i don't know, 1988 or something? so meg ryan wakes up in the morning and says, "where's the cat?" and he says, "what cat?" and she says, "the cat that shit in my mouth." -that will be 50 small. bullshit! you made it up. could beaver make that up? you can have that priceless piece of cinematic trivia absolutely free. -i'm filing that in the "who-gives-a-shit" section of my memory warehouse. what's the memory warehouse? you don't remember? i must've forgot. you forgot the memory warehouse? -just remind me. don't give me shit. it's in his head. we've all got one. hasn't that place been condemned? -jones: not yet. it's so crowded i throw something out every time i learn something new. when i got my new laptop i had to throw out my files of rock 'n' roll lyrics. my warehouse was washed away in a flood about 10 years ago. -i didn't know they had enough beer. hey. hey, hey. jonesy, if that really is your name... ...what do you do with the old files? -i burn them. you threw out the "blue bayou" lyrics? no. no, if i really can't let go of something i sneak it back to an office where i keep my secret stuff. where do you keep the stuff on duddits? -he's got a special section all his own on the third level. i can't stop thinking about the duds lately. how about you guys?

don't come. -fuck me, freddy! some kid's shirt. so? it's new! scooby-doo. -"i belong to douglas cavell." "if the boy i belong to is lost, please bring him to 19 maple lane, derry." must belong to one of those kids from the retard academy. boy: come on. -eat it. eat it. eat it and you can go. hey, you guys! quit it! -just fucking quit it! what are you doing? you're trying to make him eat that? what's wrong with you? richie: -got it. i'll make him eat this dog turd, then he can go. you go now. unless you want half. take a hike, girls, while you have the chance. -piss off. that's your final warning. you better watch it! why is that? i know who you are. -i'm trembling with fear. you're rich grenadeau, the quarterback! so? what will people say when we tell them what we caught you doing? you won't tell anybody anything because you'll be dead. -get ready, pete. give the word, henry. pete can fly. when you come for us, all we have to do is get in your way. i can't catch that little dick?

-you'll lose! why? because you can't do that! it's wrong! and i'm gonna tell the world! -tell everybody! you want us to leave, is that it? no! let's kick their asses! let's go. -we'll get him later. you know that. get you all later. henry: it's okay. -you can stop now. do something. somebody! if i do and you tell anybody, i'll never hang with you guys again. henry: -i never knew beav could sing. beaver, that's beautiful. i mean it. not one word. beaver! -you've got a fan. this yours? douglas cavell. that's your name, right? i duddits. -pete: what? i duddits! henry: duddits? -duddits. duddits, we got to get you home. hey, guys! come here! leave the kid there. -stand right here, duddits. right here with scooby, okay?

-about six months ago, the day jonesy got hit i did something terrible with a patient. i humiliated him. drove him out. barry neiman. couple days ago, i saw his picture in the paper. -he ate himself to death. mind if i don't use that story next time i'm trying to sell a mustang? you were a lead balloon long before this porker munched his way to eternity. thanks. you're a real comfort. -you got a real delicate touch to you. jones: here you go, rick, buddy. that will fix you up. clarendon: -jesus christ bananas! some fuckarow this is turning into! thanks a lot, beav. clarendon: yeah, i think i got it all. -what happened to you?

the biggest threat is them getting out of our net. -crash-landing or not they'll try to get out and spread the infection. i always say they never visited a world they wouldn't rather own. they're up to their old tricks. using a standard grayboy look with the innocent doggy eyes and smooth baby-butt skin. they project what they think we want to see. -but i've had a look at the real thing. you wouldn't want it marrying your sister. difference of opinion about the ripley. really? who has an opinion? -who do you think? general matheson. three-star general matheson. three? when did you see him? -they called me in yesterday. what's the opinion of those enlightened cocksuckers who've never been near an et? they say the fungus doesn't take hold in all victims. some of them get over it. really? -and what about the shit weasels? the ones blasting out the basement door? does matheson think folks get over one of those puppies? their theory is, they only grow in a small percentage of the exposed population. do you like that theory, bucko? -i think it's crap. curtis: so if you thought someone had been exposed... ...and you had them in your grasp-- i wouldn't want them walking out... -...to wander as they wish. bucko, i think we're on the same page. pissing in the same latrine. if the ripley gets out of this pine-tree paradise.... well, it just can't be allowed to do that. -i've quarantined the entire area. nothing leaves alive. roger that, boss. come! got maples here, boss. -corporal maples, sir. i mean, boss. curtis: i know who you are, maples. i handpicked every man in blue boy. -sometimes i wonder about my judgment. maples: yes, sir. i'm sorry, boss. curtis: -do you know the catechism? yes, the b.u.c. for all buckos. is blue unit part of regular army? no, boss. better. -curtis: how does blue unit operate? under the radar. we don't salute, display rank, say "sir." a force unto ourselves. regular army compared to blue unit? -pussies. curtis: what rules does it operate by? maples: rules of combat. -that's right, laddie. when a soldier disobeys a superior's orders, he puts everyone at risk. and is to be punished immediately by appropriate command personnel. that's me. capisce? -good. now answer me one question and you can boogie out of here. but you have to answer honestly. you were on containment detail at 0600 this morning, sector 14 of blue zone. did you allow a young woman and her 4-year-old daughter to exit the zone in their own vehicle on hickam valley road? -colonel curtis, she hadn't been in the zone. she made a wrong turn. she couldn't have been contaminated. you know this for a fact? or because she told you so? -for a fact, boss. scout's honor? can you raise your hand and tell me honestly that you know this for a fact? then do it, maples. swear on it. -scout's honor. scout's honor. stop your blatting, laddie-buck! you just avoided a court-martial, boy. you lie to me again, you'll be facing a firing squad. -get him out before i change my mind. owen: let's get him out of here. sentry! jesus, abe. -i warned him. could have gotten off with a slap on the wrist. instead of taking his whole hand? he crossed the curtis line! he came into my house, told me lies. -you think i'm crazy, owen? a little. i lost my temper there. but that little worm did something worse. the pretty mom he let pass this morning? -she's down at the barn right now crawling with the ripley. twenty-five years, owen. twenty-five years i've been going out to fight these alien bastards show them they picked the wrong place, knocked on the wrong door. and frankly, laddie, the tank is running a little low. luckily for me, there's one bit of good news in this blizzard of bullshit. -i have you. to lead the assault today and to take over for me tomorrow. what are you talking about, abe? it's my last dance, owen. from now on, you will lead the band. -you know where i got that? john wayne. that's right. he gave it to me. and now i'm giving it to you. -abe, i don't know how to.... let's not get all girlie with each other. just tell me how we do it. we go in fast and hard. how do we come out? -clean and smiling. ah. moore: honey, i'm home. that's a good idea. -catch a little shuteye. save your energy for those horrendous farts! moore: well, it's very nice of you to say so. i find you very attractive also. -you're one of those rare women who can handle the full-size ford expedition. the truck that handles like a luxury car. a really big luxury car. but seriously, folks, there is one issue i'd like to bring up just in case i should, you know, kick the bucket out here turn into a goddamn petesicle. not that i think that's inevitable. -i'm sure henry or jonesy or beaver will be coming to get us soon. they're my friends. we're all best friends. now, ma'am, i'll be very candid with you about this so please, don't get freaked out or think that i'm some kind of weirdo who you shouldn't meet for the best fried clams in maine. just some innocent fried clams at the west wharf! -you see, the four of us, best friends we all have this other friend by the name of duddits. and our friend duddits, well, he's not your average old buddy. one day, a long time ago, he gave us all this kind of gift. it's this.... how shall i put it? -this ability. this ability to know things to talk to each other without talking at all, just mind-to-mind. do you see what i'm getting at? i knew you would. lately, i've been having this dream and in the dream, i understand how duddits could give us a gift like that. -i think maybe our friend duds is not from this planet. i think duddits is from somewhere else and he came here to prepare us for something. it's crazy. talking shit about the only perfect person i ever knew. he's so goddamned good. -i can't believe he's a human. i should be singing his praises, not questioning what galaxy he's-- i gotta pee. that's what i should do. here's to you, duds. -the highest civilian decoration. lord, i will never drink again. devlin: let me get this straight. yesterday you want to call it quits, throw in the towel, pull the plug. -today, you're begging, praying. couple more hours. couple more miles. make up your mind. jonesy! -way to go, motherfucker! here you come to save the day! what the hell? who's mr. gray? what are you trying to tell me, jonesy? -you're not jonesy. in english accent: what was that, mr. jones? what did we just pass? jones: -are you speaking to me? yes, i am, mr. jones. or is it jonesy? that's what your friends call you, isn't it? let's be friends. -why are you letting me live? i'm borrowing you. we're going to take a little journey. beaver never hurt a soul. you killed him. -he had nothing in his head. i've found something useful in yours. fuck you! i know what that expression means. i've studied the foul language section of your memory warehouse. -rather distasteful, i must say. how about this, mr. gray? eat shit and die. why did you call me mr. gray? watch out for ister gay. -someone told you about me. who told you about me? if you want to know, why don't you read my mind? surprisingly, you're able to keep things from me i don't understand it. but i'm sure i'll figure it out soon. -oh, pete, jesus! moore: motherfucker tried to bite my dick off, jonesy. i always thought it would be my ex-wife did that. let's get you to some help. -can you still see the line, buddy? i don't need it to get to gosselin's. no, i know that, but if we didn't want to go to gosselin's, how would you get us out to 95? 95? who gives a shit? -i'm hurting here, jonesy. what's wrong with you? wait a minute, you're not-- shut up, pete. you're too messed up to know what you're saying. -too late for that. pete, i need you to get onto the snowmobile right now. who the fuck are you? you sound like one of those james bonds! this has to do with the fucking eel, doesn't it? -you're not-- stop it! i'll get him to help. pete, tell him what he wants to know. now, pete, which way to l-95? -i need to go to massachusetts. my, my. that is a gift. who taught you that? you're gonna be a big help, pete. -climb aboard. mr. gray: show's over. let me in. let me in. -what have you got in that part of your mind, professor? your memories are out here in the warehouse, aren't they? i want to know who warned you about me. and who taught pete that trick? i'm sure the answers are here. -it'll just take me a while to find them. to find them. think about letting me in. it's the polite thing to do. polite thing to do. -beav! what is this? oh, beav. shit! fuck me, freddy. -oh, shit. asshole! so long, beav. love you, man. pete: -we all made them in art. beaver: i finished first. i made one for duds. henry: -mine's deformed. i couldn't figure out the string. eaver, henny, ownzy, eet! that's right, my man. i duddits. -yes. i duddits. i duddits! all: i duddits! -henry: duds will find her. pete: how? jonesy: -he can do anything. beaver: she's from the academy. she always waves. we've gotta save this girl. -save this world? not the world, duds. a girl. we'll save the world some other time. ister gay? -yeah, it's a mystery. we need you to solve it. dreamcatcher. duds'll read our minds. pete: -not this. henry: shut up. we gotta think of josie. josie, josie, josie. -"josie rinkenhauer." josie? that's right. can you find josie? jonesy: -this is completely crazy. you can say that again. i didn't say anything. beaver: you did. -i heard you. you said, "this is completely crazy." i didn't say that. i thought it. kiss my bender. -duds can hear people's thoughts. we can't. henry: are you sure of that, beav? hey, guys! -she's down here for sure! josie, you down there? josie! josie! fuck me, freddy, she's down there. -i know it. i can see her in my head. yeah. me too. josie: -help! please! help me. beaver: hold on, josie, we're coming! -henry: josie, hang in there! don't sing. she's scared enough. beaver: -shut up. there's, like, rat shit. pete: hold on to my feet! henry: -pete, do you see anything? pete: duds! we got her! here's josie. -curtis: blue boy leader. how we doing, bucko? right here, boss. fast and hard. -wouldn't have it any other way. sir? i see it. female: don't hurt us. -male: we're dying. male: there is no infection here. whose radio is that? -it's not the radio. they're putting it into our heads. female: we are helpless. there it is, gentlemen. -male: there's no infection here. directly into our heads. this gives you an idea what we're up against. if anybody's thinking, "those poor, helpless little folk all naked and unarmed beside their crashed intergalactic winnebago what kind of a dog, what kind of a monster could hear that heartbreak and go in just the same?" -well, i'm that dog. i'm that monster. female: we are helpless. we are dying. -curtis: these mothers are as harmless as a fox in a henhouse. and i'm here to kick some ass! are you with me? yes, boss! -roger that, boss. right on, boss. female: don't hurt us. i have a visual. -holy shit! damn, look at the size of that. blue boy group, this is blue boy leader. target imminent. go to level 4 readiness. -gentlemen, lock and load. hellfires are hot. sing it out, owen! blue boy group, this is blue boy leader. clean up the forest, get rid of this trash! -male: don't hurt us. female: please, don't hurt us. male: -there is no infection here. female: we are helpless. fire at will! curtis: -fire! curtis: owen, get them out of there! it's gonna blow! blue boy group, withdraw at once. -i repeat, cease firing and back off! we can get them! owen: it's self-destructing. blue boy group, get out of there! -we're on top of it! curtis: owen, pull out now! owen: pull out! -get out of there! pull out! moore: jonesy, i've been thinking about our friend. our scooby-doo buddy. -for a long time i thought he was sent to us to warn us about something. i could never figure what it was. jones: don't talk about him. moore: -not till today. it was this, right now. he wanted to warn us. mr. gray: tell me about your friend. -did he show you that nifty trick? moore: no. jonesy's right. mr. gray: -come on, pete. let's talk. bite my bag, motherfucker! all right, pete, i'll bite. your bag and everything else. -no, no! you bastard! no! pete. don't talk to him! -get out of there! mr. gray: ah. what's up? thank god you came by, governor. -i'm broke down here and fearing for my life. that's a good-looking dog. where you headed? gosselin's. any chance you're going near there? -that's where i'm going. well, i believe your tailgate has come open. let's take a look. i see you have some cargo you're taking to blue base. mr. gray: -got a treat for you, ike. all you can eat. eat all the red stuff. good doggy. yes. -good boy. have your fill. tasty, tasty. eat all you want-- jonesy. -what are you up to? jonesy! oh, god! man: halt or we'll fire! -you cannot leave the quarantine zone! halt! i think i just about halted here. curtis: come with me, owen. -i'll show you things you'll wish you'd never seen. man 1: how long we gotta be here? curtis: it'll be all right. -man 1: i demand to see my lawyer! there must be something they can do. man 2: don't worry, you'll be fine. -man 1: when do we get out? curtis: within hours. you can't do this to people in america! -man 2: i told you to stay over there! my wife-- curtis: government's doing what they can to get you out of here. don't worry. -it's all right. we're doing everything to make sure you're safe. we'll get you back to your homes within hours. man: all clear. -can i help you, sir? what's your name? henry. dr. henry devlin. a doctor? -good. we need doctors in there. come on, laddie, i'll buy you a cup. you, sir, where you from? boston. -beantown? great city. we'll have you back there in no time. maybe by morning. hurry up, bucko. -you see that crud on the faces of children you know why i relish a turn in the country like we had today. you were excellent out there, o. it made me feel very proud to-- abe? abe, you okay? abe? -yeah. yeah, i'm fine. i'm fine. i must be getting too old for this shit. i don't know what the hell that was about. -it's the only way, owen. we've got to cauterize the site. they've all got to die. it's the only way. owen: -but we don't know that. studies point to the strong possibility of recovery for many exposed subjects. the studies show squat, that's what they show. if matheson had been in my spot for the last quarter-century you'd have never made it to your first jerk-off. those gray bastards would have had you for lunch back in armpit, kentucky. -some get better. at least half will be over it in a few days-- which ones, mother teresa? can you guarantee they won't take it home like a present for the family? i'll tell you what you should be worried about. -what should be on your mind. not these few unfortunates. what you should be worried about is a hitchhiker. what? a hitchhiker. -our greatest fear is that a grayboy would catch a ride with somebody and would carry them out of here, without being consumed. to scatter the infection, like johnny-fucking-appleseed. are you sure there isn't such a person? no. but i am sure that if there is one he won't get out. -not with the net my boys put up around the blue zone. and if we do a thorough job on the ones we've got. if we don't get gooey about the little picture when our job is taking care of the big one. capisce? owen, if you think this is easy for me, you're crazier than my mother was. -those poor schmucks. they drive chevrolets, shop at wal-mart never miss an episode of friends. these are americans. the idea of slaughtering americans it just turns my stomach. but i'll do it. -i'll do it because it needs to be done. so if we start at 2, we can be done by 2:30. and it's all behind us. except for the dreams. yeah, except for them. -what are you gonna tell rita about what you did here? what are you gonna tell katrina when she's old enough to ask? you know me, don't you? i don't remember when we met but you know me. we don't have time to screw around. -you've got two problems. one you know about, one you don't. go ahead. your mentor, colonel curtis, he's gone insane from hunting aliens for 25 years. now he wants you to help him kill hundreds of innocent people. -who are you? me? talk about that later, once we get out of here. hey. you're predictable. -you won't let me burn on this fence any more than you'll help curtis kill those people. what you're thinking now is whether that digital sat-scan transmitter in your duffle bag will let you get through to somebody. somebody named general matheson. hmm. "sometimes we have to kill, but our real job is to save lives." -your father was a great soldier. those were his last words. you carry his picture with you always. tell me everything. you'll save these people. -when we're done talking, get on the transmitter, contact matheson. cavalry rides in. that takes care of problem number one. now comes the hard part. you think the infection's been contained, that there's no hitchhiker. -you're wrong. he's riding with my best friend on earth. a guy named gary jones. and he's out there. you and i don't get after him right away, he'll get out of my range and some kind of shit is gonna hit the planetary fan. -our nightmare hitchhiker. and all dr. mystery wants is a free pass so he can catch his friend. very convenient. i'm saying you ought to hear his story. okay. -where is he? had him taken to the tractor shed. okay. i'll check him out and we can compare notes. whatever you say, boss. -come on, come on. time's a-wasting. all right, lad, open up. curtis: dr. boston? -are you in here? man: i'm here. where i've been put. a prisoner on my own damn property. -man: let's go! devlin: come on, let's go. get in! -you almost ran me down. figured you'd read my mind and get out of the way. man: blue unit, stand down. you are under regular army command. -put down your weapons at once. get down! your mission is rescinded. this is no longer a blue unit operation. put down your arms. -repeat, put down your arms. general matheson has assumed command. curtis: okay, owen. okay. -you just drove over the curtis line. where we going? south. all i know right now. just get me in range of jonesy we'll know everything we need to know. -that's some gun. can i have a look? kind of flashy for a guy like you. it's a gift. i know. -where are you, jonesy? pick up the phone. call 1-800-henry. hello? jonesy! -jesus christ, i knew it was you. where's he taking you? massachusetts? he is? duddits? -okay, i will. you hang in there, jonesy. jonesy? he hung up. give me back my gun. -we gotta go to derry. that where they're going? no, they're going towards massachusetts. we need duddits. jonesy says mr. gray is afraid of duddits. -your buddy, he's still alive after all this time with mr. gray? yeah, he's immune. i think it's because he died. he got hit by a car and his heart stopped. twice. -i don't think he even knows it. he came back from the dead. must have changed him somehow. it's almost like duddits saw this whole thing coming. is that it? -jonesy told me it was duddits who drew him into the accident. if we catch him, we're gonna have to kill him. you know we have to do it. it's the only way to stop mr. gray assuming we can catch him. owen: -when was the last time you saw duddits? long time ago. years. what makes you so sure he can help? duddits can do anything. -i didn't understand that then, but i think it's always been true. he's the one who made us like this. like what? you know, weird. he's been waiting for you. -devlin: blizzard slowed us up. duddits: henny, henny. henny. -i miss you, henny. i miss you. henny. long time, henny. henny. -devlin: my god, roberta, what is it? roberta: lymphocytic leukemia. i'm gonna let you take him, but i have to tell you why. -just now, when he was getting ready henry, he was so excited. like he hasn't been in such a long time. i think that if he's with you, he might die happy instead of in this awful room. be sure the parka stays on tight. cold devastates him. -the medication and instructions are in here. bye, mom. roberta: goodbye, duddie. be a good boy. -now, go save the world. all right, laddie. they haven't got enough courage to take my trailer. not yet, anyway. what've we got? -they're leaving derry, maine, heading south on 95. toward massachusetts. curtis: massachusetts? stay with it, bucko. -general matheson. come in, please. this is very nice, abe. curtis: been home through some rough times. -was there something we hadn't covered? i don't think i got to say before how much i respect the work you've done. it was with sincere regret-- herman- may i call you herman? -we may not agree on all the strategic initiatives, but we do agree on this: i'm past it. burned out. just needed a push, that's all. should have quit after that mess in montana. -even i don't trust my judgment anymore. oh, yeah.... my techies tell me we're getting some electronics reading hot from in here. yes, i've been talking to the wife on my sat phone. i don't know if you've ever met barbara. -she's been after me for years to retire. she's very happy, i can tell you that. i'll have everything shut down in an hour. if that's soon enough. that will be fine. -how do you turn off the goddamn lights? jones: maybe you shouldn't have been so fast to kill that trooper. you're making yourself at home. you have no idea, jonesy. -tell me how you like this: "maybe you shouldn't have been so fast to kill that trooper." not bad? oh, don't like that, gary, do you? cavell: ownzy. -he's in a police car now. he's in a police car now. can you see where they are, duds? ownzy. he's in ister gay. -mr. gray. that's right, duds, he is in mr. gray. "ister gay" is mr. gray. we gotta save this girl. save the world? -not the world, duds, a girl. we'll save the world some other time. ister gay? you already knew. where's he going, duds? -where is mr. gray taking jonesy? duds? ister gay, he want war. war? not war, water. -mr. gray wants water. i know where he's going. he's going to the quabbin reservoir. what's quabbin? it supplies drinking water for all of boston. -hmm. what? one worm kills the world. one worm kills the world? oh, my god. -one worm. back at our cabin, i saw the worms that come out of these weasels. mr. gray must want to get one into the boston drinking supply. just one worm infects the whole world? are we going right? -devlin: yes. take the 495 to the mass pike. it's not far. you're doing great, buddy. -are you ready to try something hard? i want to ask you something hard. yes, henny. good. can you talk to jonesy? -can you make him hear you? ownzy and ister gay. duddits. i knew it. i knew it. -he's been here all along. waiting. jonesy? it appears we didn't meet by accident. we owe it to our friend, duddits. -jones: i don't know what you mean. no? maybe not. maybe your clever friend didn't want you to know what he was up to. -that's why you had nothing in the warehouse about me. duddits didn't bother to tell you what job he had in mind for you. it doesn't matter. his little scheme didn't work. did it, ike? -no, no. we're almost there. what was it your poetry file had to say? i have promises to keep and miles to go before i sleep and miles to go before i sleep -man: stop that chopper! jones: punch it, dude. don't be a pussy. -thank you, gary jones. go up around the reservoir. aqueduct to boston starts in shaft 12. mr. gray: patience, bambino. -just up ahead. mr. gray: shh.... stay here and take care of your friend. no matter what you hear. -so long, doctor. mr. gray: good doggy. good girl. shit! -you son of a bitch! wait. wait. go back to car, duddie. you'll be safer there. -look out, jonesy. i knew you'd come, henry. i knew you wouldn't let me die. who the fuck are you? don't you know me, h? -i don't know. i think i'm gonna have to shoot you. just to be sure. well, maybe you're right, my friend. i don't know myself if mr. gray is gone. -he could be hiding in here somewhere waiting for his chance. tell me something mr. gray couldn't possibly know. tell me something only we would know. ssdd. not good enough. -well, you decide. ask me anything. at tracker brothers, day we met duddits what was painted on the wall by the window? no bounce.... no play. -hello ister gay. mr. gray: you. ooby-ooby-doo we got some work to do now. ister gay go away. -no! i duddits. h? jonesy. jonesy, if that really is your name.... -that'll be 50 small. moore: bullshit. duddits: i duddits. -all: i duddits. moore: they're my friends. we're all best friends. -clarendon: here's to duddits, our dreamcatcher. subtitles by sdi media group ocr errors corrected by leapinlar brad. -oh, hey, mr.finnerty. uh, what are you doing?

"sean finnerty! -he could be so much worse." oh, come on! this is about business, okay? this is about the bar. then why didn't you tell me? -well, i didn't think it would interest you. what's up, sean? oh... hi, claudia. hi, eddie. -how you doing, sean? hi. hi, guys. how are you? now it interests me. -so, claudia, i thought you were working tonight. nope. night off. so who are your friends? they're my book club. -book club, claudia. claudia, the book club. hi. hi. hello. -well... i never knew you had a book club, ed. what are you reading? the corrections. and what's that about? -it's about this sort of dysfunctional family that falls apart when the dad gets sick. that sounds interesting. okay, so maybe she's read a book i haven't read, but i happen to know they are strippers. why didn't you tell me she knew? i just wanted to see how far you were gonna take this book club thing. -mom. we found this kid outside whizzing in the bushes. bobby, you know better than that. i'm sorry, ma. i had that big gulp. -jimmy, kitchen. come on. uh, ed, can i talk with you for just one moment, please? will you excuse us, please, for just a moment? one minute, please. -excuse us. what? why? why would you bring them to my house? claudia seems cool with it. -she's not cool with it. she acting cool with it. she's not even acting remotely cool with it. well, we have to agree to disagree on this one. why? -why would you bring them to my house? because things were getting ugly out in front of the bar. stick to selling pitchers. we don't want strippers. stick to selling pitchers. -we don't want strippers. stick to selling pitchers. so i snuck the ladies out the back way. i needed a place to lay low for a couple of hours until the hubbub dies down. you have an apartment. -my cousin's staying there. which cousin? you wouldn't know him. i'm your brother! excuse me, ladies. -sean, there are strippers in my house. in my house, strippers. where my children live, strippers! okay, okay. okay, baby, you make a good point, but let's talk about the larger issue here. -what? your anger. oh! okay! baby, we-- we were desperate. -three customers. we're in trouble. we're flirting with bankruptcy. we're not flirting with bankruptcy. we're, like, on our third date with bankruptcy, and it's about to put out. -we're screwed. we gotta figure something out, man. we gotta get a promotion or something going to get people in here. why don't we get one of those mechanical bulls? come on! -they're like 10 grand. karaoke's cheap. oh, yeah, that's fresh. it's fresher than a mechanical bull. we can hire strippers. -you're kidding, right? what? yeah. are you? well, i mean, this place is an old-fashioned irish bar. -it's not a strip bar. come on. yeah, i know, but that would make it... kind of ironic. yeah, and, like, it's the context, right? like, this place is such a non-strip bar that if we had strippers here it would be like a comment on the very nature of stripping itself -yeah, that's what i mean. i think most people would get what we were trying to do. hey, who ordered the pitcher and the side of thighs, huh? the money started flowing in. i mean, it was really amazing. -the are other ways to make money in a bar besides hiring strippers. claudia, don't be naive. every bar has strippers. what? some do. -so where do you go to school? st. margarets. what grade are you in? that's kinda up in the air right now. let's just say soft seventh. -that grill outside work? yep. you think i could get a pork chop? mom and dad won't let us cook on the grill. could we burn stuff on it? -as long as it's not food. hello. dean, we need to talk. okay, but you gotta make it quick. passion train comes on in two minutes. -dean... this is...tough, but... i just don't think it's working out. i mean, i just don't think we're right for each other, you know? and you're a really great guy, but... i--i just think us as a couple, you know... -it's over. wow. that is, um-- that's sudden. i know, and i really hope you're not that upset, and i hope we can still be friends. if that's how you feel... -it's how i feel. okay. okay. are you sure you're okay? yeah. -but you don't mind if i stay and watch the rest of the show? 'cause i mean if i leave now, i'll miss the whole first half. uh--uh...sure. if you're okay with that. so tell me again. -what exactly does your mother do? are you slow? she takes off her clothes! and then what? that's pretty much it. -oh, my god! how am i gonna face them? what's the big deal? they're wearing clothes now. yeah, now sure, but-- the other time, they're not. -and then they were... gonna know that i know, and then the-- we being there knowing that. i think curly's over-thinking this. yeah, he does that. hey, let's light this baby. -light. burn, baby, burn! what are you doing? i was trying to stop these two from doing something stupid. reggie, calm down. -it's gonna be fine. they can't stay out there forever. what's going on? the protesters are still out there. reggie says they attacked his car. -a bunch of moms attacked his car? yeah, they yanked off his mickey mouse antenna ball. spooked him pretty bad. reggie, stay strong. we'll keep monitoring the situation from here. -you know what, ed? we gotta face facts. we gotta drop this whole stripper thing. no way. no. -yeah, yeah. i mean, like, if it was just the teachers, or if it was just the parents, maybe we could win. but when they join forces... you can't beat the pta. you know that. -hey. our little friend here is a really good influence. this is what our kids were about to burn. bobby, come on! okay, so, fine, we can't burn this. -what can we burn? nothing! okay, you gotta work with me here. help me get to "yes." veronica. -hi. um, your son is giving my kids arson lessons. i'm taking you home. but... i'm sorry. -he knows better than that. yeah, you know what? i thought my kids did, too, but apparently not. well, i'd leave him home with his father, but that's where he gets all his stupid ideas. exactly. -i know exactly what you mean. it's like having another kid. eddie, we're taking off. me, too. sorry, eddie, but this is so not worth it. -come on. this controversy is gonna be great for us. it brings out the first amendment freaks, and they're big tippers. the ladies wanna give up, and we've worked too hard for too long to let that happen. what do you mean, "work too hard?" -you made a phone call in jersey, asked for five strippers. what's this? what? "nude, nude, nude. only blocks from st. finnians school." -that's--that's weird. yeah, everybody at school had these. kids were using them as book covers. we--we didn't print these up. this smacks of sabotage. -you think? this is what the pta got all riled up about. somebody set us up, somebody who doesn't want us in the business. wow. well, whoever they are, i guess they win and we lose. -damn! wait a minute. i recognizer this. what? it's just a picture of a naked lady. -yeah, it's a naked lady i've been seeing for 20 years. it's yours, sean. it's not mine! yeah. big boobs, the tiny waist, no legs-- 'cause you could never draw ankles-- -this is-- now you're talking crazy! you set me up! no, i didn't! you sabotaged me! my own brother! -ed, i had my reasons! you broke my heart! you got any pie here? no, we don't. do you got any crumb cake? -you ate it 45 minutes ago. did i save any? no. bobby, you just ate two tubes of pringles. one of them was open! -jimmy, why don't you take bobby and go watch tv? no, i'm here. i'm cool. i'm right here. no, you're not. -not cool. go. hey, um, what is this show? oh, that's passion train. my mom won't let me watch it. -she says, "that's too racy." your mom is a stripper. yeah? what's your point, red? my point is... -get out, all of you! or what? she'll start to smack us. she wouldn't hit me, i'm company. okay, okay! -lil! lil! check this out! kendra just took stephen into the sleeper car. this is so great, you know? -i was really worried you were gonna be sad. but i'm so glad you're not...at all. how could you do it, sean? how could you go behind my back like that? we're partners, and you sabotaged me. -hey, we were partners in a bar, all right? i didn't want it to become a strip club. oh, you could have fooled me with all your whooping and hollering. maybe at first, okay? but then i-- i changed my mind. -i started to see things more clearly. now, you ladies men out there, break out with those wallets because i'm about to provide the ultimate in adult entertainment. i give you... destiny. hello. -red boot. molly fitzgerald? uh, she's dancing on stage right now. oh. oh, mrs. fitzgerald? -hi. how are you? last one. capital of nebraska? oh! -oh! i know this! i know this one! i know this one! uh, lincoln. -it's lincoln. it's lincoln. lincoln. yeah, lincoln. it's lincoln. -okay, uh... cat litter, uh-huh. low-fat milk. no--yeah. we got cat litter already. yeah, she's, uh-- she's great. -she's great. we love her, too. she's sweet. it's okay. it's okay. -it's okay. a lot of dogs do great with just three legs. they're so cute the way they hop around. it's gonna be okay. oh--hello. -is that mr. fitzgerald? hi, sir. how are you? yeah, i'm her boss. i know. -i know. yeah, she's great. yeah, you guys-- you guys are up late. it's all gone, man, okay? naked strangers are hot. -naked employees are... awkward. sean, taking a sauna with your dad is awkward. these women are strippers. the word "strip" is right in their job title! -i knew you wouldn't-- i know you wouldn't understand. is that why you went behind my back? look, i wanted to tell you. if it was just me and you, i would have told you, you know? but there were other interested parties. -ed. ed. we gotta talk. just a second. this is good. -this is very good. your investors were beginning to lose faith in your business acumen. please reassure them. we know what we're doing. just keep it up. -i'm gonna need some singles. you got it. i was screwed! you know, i had to make the strippers go away, but i couldn't be the one who did it. so i had to get some... -help from above. finnerty. are you here about henry and the holy-water incident? oh, no, no, no. i'm not here as a parent, sister helen. -i'm here as a businessman. oh? and what kind of business is that? strippers. i'm sorry? -that's right, strippers. nude, erotic dancers. yes, i know what they are. how unfortunate. yeah, it is, but, uh, sadly, i'm well within my right, so there's nothing you can do about it. -okay. would you hand me those books there? sure. thank you. wait a minute. -you're not against stripping, sister helen? oh, i am against stripping, mr. finnerty. all right, then. bring it on! raise the alarms! -notify the church officials! get the bishop's going! come on! see if i give a damn! mr. finnerty, do you want me to protest your bar? -hey, whoa--hey, it's a free country, sister. i can't stop you from protesting anything you wanna protest, especially my sleazy, youth-corrupting bar that's just down the street and over a couple blocks. you're right. but since it's behind closed doors, i don't see how it's any of my business. -wait a minute. isn't cleaning up the streets your job as a nun? i think that's shaft. okay, fine. fine, you just stay here while i hasten the moral decay of our society. -well, i have enough to worry about, mr. finnerty. as long as the parents aren't screaming about it, i really don't care. bye-bye. okay, kid, take that home and show it to your mom, okay? -are you proud of yourself? no, not particularly, but it worked. you know, a couple house later, the pta was out in force. oh, how nice for you. oh, come on, ed! -were we making money at the bar? sure, yeah, we were making a little bit of money. but at what cost, huh? my soul! that's what the cost was! -you know, i quit the subway 'cause it was dirty and degrading. i didn't want that to happen to our bar. sean, do you think the investors are gonna roll over just because a couple of moms put up some signs? once the pta moves on, they're gonna want the naked ladies back. well, i'll just go to them. -i'll tell them the truth. no. don't even joke about that. look, it's all i know. i'll talk to them. -you will? i'll tell them... i'll tell them we can't afford the scrutiny because we don't have a liquor license. what are you talking about, man? what's that--what's that thing over the cash register? -that looks like a liquor license, right? thanks, ed. thanks. lil, you missed it. gina just left dylan on the platform. -dean, i haven't been completely honest with you. you see, the truth is... i've been seeing someone else. you have? i'm afraid so. -hey, dean. what? oh, yeah, sucker! can you taste that, huh? dean's in the house! -oh, yes, he is! you have got to be kidding me! dean, i'm so sorry. the last thing i wanted to do was hurt you. i can't believe this! -oh, believe it, mr. handsome. oh! aah! dean, dean-- bring it. bring it. -i'm sorry. i did not want you to find out like this. then why would you tell me like this? i believe honesty is very important. yeah... -thanks for warming her up for me, dean. brad--aah! you know what? you are crazy! and you? -you're just an idiot! the two of you, you deserve each other! so have fun! go for it! and, lil, don't call me. -i knew he was gonna take it badly. you wanna buy your kid the hundred dollar sneakers. and the game cubes and the skateboards. so you work your butt off, and then you get to feel guilty. because you're not spending enough time at home. -yes, and then you take time off to be a better mom, but before you know it, the bills start to pile up. and you start having to do bachelor parties. and frat parties. internet stuff. yeah. -or temp or something. hey, ladies. okay, here you are. enjoy. claudia, can i speak with you for a second? -excuse us. thank you. okay, baby--ahem-- you were right to be angry, okay? you shouldn't have found out about the strippers through the pta. -thank you. i shouldn't have. right. and i'm gonna make it okay, 'cause i'm getting rid of the strippers. you can't. -wait. i thought that's what you wanted me to do! they have kids and apartments and expenses. yeah, that's why i want them to stop degrading themselves. how are they supposed to make a living? -uh, sean? i'm sorry, but we gotta go. this just ain't happening for us. no, wait. what are you guys gonna do? -oh, we can still pick up a late set at the booby trap. you can? just like that? oh, yeah. we can still make 500 bucks tonight. -500 bucks? you still worried about 'em? no, i want you guys to pay for those sandwiches. great to meet you, claudia. you should come see us perform sometime. -sure, yeah. okay. maybe. hey, bobby, let's go. we're going to the booby trap. -hey, uh, thanks for the hospitality. i'll see you tomorrow, mom. what? bobby said i could sleep over. no way. -upstairs. oh, and, uh, just so you know, that sugar bowl upstairs filled with change? it was empty when i got there. hey, mom. you know what i wanna be when i grow up? -what's that, henry? train conductor. that's so cute. yeah, then i could ride across the country with a bunch of red hot singles ready for action. gimme that remote. -it's the passion train two hour elimination special. what are you doing? changing the channel. oh, man! cool! -reading rainbow! closed-captioned by j.r. media services, inc. burbank, ca i've heard it said that a retirement home is where people go when life is through with them before they're through with life. that expression was true enough in everwood. -the ransell family bought the old hicks mansion in 1942. thereafter, converting it into everwood's sole retirement home. people don't tend to visit the everwood retirement home that much anymore. not that they ever did. don't know if it's the spirits of the past or a premonition of their own future but something keeps them away. -then sometimes, just sometimes a little light shines in this dark, empty place. okay charlie you're up. nothing could keep dr. brown from dispensing his free medicine where it was needed. i need a refill on my viagra. how's that working? -any side effects? happiness. i prescribed a bottle for you a few weeks ago. we should hold off for a little while. come on doc. -you can't deny the ladies. come on charlie. let's go. who's next? doc i'd like you to meet the honorable judge marvin harrison. -how are you today judge? right as rain right as rain. edna's gonna take your pulse i'll give you a flu shot and you can call it a night okay? you like billie holiday do you? my wife loves her music. -we dance to it every saturday night at the uso. you should see my wife move. best drumsticks this side of radio city. how long you been married judge? let's see since '52. -seven years this coming month. and i'm not a judge yet. maybe someday but i just started practicing law. marvin go ahead and roll up your sleeve. alzheimer's? -standard senile dementia. it got worse a few years ago when his wife peaches died. i've known marv harrison for eons. he was hal sr.'s best friend and golfing partner. as well as junior's godfather. -now he doesn't remember any of us. must be hard to see him like this. heartbreaking. this won't hurt a bit marvin. there we go. -it does hurt. it hurts so much. what hurts the needle? my secret. i killed him. -there was blood everywhere that scorching summer. killed who? what are you...? dead and buried so no one will ever find him. now look what you've done. -i called for advice not a swat team. between this and busting erma's dope supply i might have to deputize you doc. do you really have to take him into custody roger? he's clearly not a flight risk. he can barely walk. -you just nabbed everwood's public enemy number one. we've tried to crack the horace hempleman case for 30 years. i'm about to crack something if you take this further. who's horace hempleman? well it was the scorching summer of '72. -a handsome drifter by the name of horace hempleman came to everwood. he had all the women in a tizzy and all the men jealous with rage. one day he vanished. nothing left behind but his shoe with a knife through it and a note that said "dead and buried." oh come on. -he's not serious is he? i told you we shouldn't have said anything big mouth. edna i... you should feel pretty good right now doc. because of your tip everwood can sleep safe and sound for the first time in 30 years. -why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well? i'm a trouper. you've probably got the flu. it's been going around lately. guess that means you're gonna get it now. -you just touched my spit. doctors don't get the flu. but you have a bad fever. so put on your pajamas while i go see if nina can watch you. then nina's gonna catch it. -honey i won't be gone long. i'm just gonna go down to the police station and fix this thing with mr. harrison. the man you sent to prison? i did not send him to prison. he's really old isn't he? -seventy-eight. so he's probably gonna die in jail. you must feel really bad. no one is dying in jail. i'm gonna take care of it okay? -you better bring me some juice before you go because the kitchen's really far away and i'm feeling really weak. one at a time. listen... i can only tell you what little i know myself. old marv used to live in my house. -i wonder if that'll increase my property value. at this time police chief murphy is taking judge harrison's statement. depending upon what's said marvin will be processed accordingly. will that include fingerprinting? well i imagine so mr. davenport. -do you know if that'll be red ink or black ink? does that really matter? the pinecone readers deserve to know. i heard that old marv bludgeoned old horace to death with a hammer. like harrison ford's wife in presumed innocent. -at this point we don't even have a motive a murder weapon a body. or a murder. the horace hempleman case is 30 years old. the most logical explanation is that the drifter simply drifted to another town. i demand that judge harrison be released immediately. -and that this gaggle of impressionable fish-wrapped tabloid consumers pack it up and go home. what makes you so sure he's innocent? marvin harrison was my father's closest friend. the man is no more a murderer than any of you are civilized. marvin did confess harold. -he's exhibited signs of senile dementia for years. he's mad as a duck rose. tomorrow he'll confess to being a turkey sandwich. what do we do then serve him at a deli? dr. brown would never send an innocent dying old man to jail. -i didn't send anyone to jail. all i did was call the police for backup. i mean help. advice. anyway i'm sure that once i talk to him we can clear... -once you talk to him? no i'll talk to him from this point on. thank you very much. i got him into this. the least i can do is to get him out. -with your help marvin will end up in the electric chair! you can both talk to him when chief murphy is done. now if there are no more questions... yeah just one more. do you know if the prisoner will be getting a hot lunch or just a sandwich? -nightmare isn't it? what's going on? besides my exact version of hell on earth? spoils of war. result of a commercially-financed assault against the unattached individual. -valentine's day? the week after is always the worst. newbie couples have the life span of a monarch butterfly. by friday the halls will be littered with their crispy corpses. friday? -that soon huh? some of them will last through the weekend. well that's reassuring. so it's not like a complete waste of time more like a minor diversion. so... -so... maybe you want to do something with me this weekend? you're getting better at that. hey guys. oh laynie i wanted to give you colin's biology homework so you can give it to your parents to take to denver. -that's the homework and that's a letter i wrote for him. it's personal so... cool i'll make sure he gets it. cool thank you. see you later ephram. -see you. so about this weekend you... i can't. i forgot i already have plans. we just... -i'm gonna be late for class so i'll see you. he waived his right to have an attorney present. he'd wave a red flag if you told him he was a bullfighter roger. hello marvin. did you catch the tonight show last night doc? -i thought i'd bust a gut laughing. that's a good sign. he has enough mental clarity to comment on current tv programming. current? since when did anyone bust a gut laughing at the tonight show? -who's the host marvin? steve allen of course. who else? criminy. wait a minute. -he does seem to know who you are. marvin do you recognize dr. abbott? well i've known hal ever since i moved to everwood. how's edna and the kids? doc he thinks you're your father. -with those crack powers of deduction roger it's no wonder everwood's crime rate is so low. i tried to do what you said hal. tried what marvin? what did i say to do? you told me i'd get in trouble remember? -if i didn't get rid of the body? so i did. i know you told me i should've burned it hal. but i couldn't. so i buried it in the back yard. -dead and buried. "dead and buried." just like the note said. he did kill horace hempleman. and he may have had an accomplice. ludwig van beethoven. -piano sonata no. 8 in c minor opus 13 "pathetique" movement three. beethoven was only a little older than you when he wrote this. but did he have 10 pages of algebra homework every night? i think not. play. -too slow. faster. don't look down. that's still too slow. you could've broken my fingers. -you're young. you'd heal quick. get up. your left hand is too slow to play the lower octaves. you haven't been practicing. -i was gonna practice last week but it was valentine's day. i had a date. a girl thing. well that happens to be the one excuse i'll accept. so what's the story? -her name's laynie. she's cool and for some reason she likes me. that is when i'm not screwing things up. get used to that. you need something? -no nothing. i figured you were almost done and i'd catch a little of the brilliance. we're just wrapping up. ephram do me a favor. take this soup up to delia and i'll write matt his check. -later ephram. thanks. i don't know if you were aware of this matt but when ephram was 9 he played chopin's "ballade number 3" all the way through without a mistake. andy i was wondering if you could maybe stay out of the room during the lesson. excuse me? -i don't want to muddy the waters with whatever issues you and ephram have with one another. we don't have any issues and even if we did... we went a half-hour over so that'll be $ 150 instead. how do you feel about your father being an alleged accomplice? if you print one libelous word about my father i will sue you and your pinecone faster than tom selleck sued the national enquirer. -i'm calling rose having the mayor's office put an end to this charade. we squelch this investigation people'll assume he's guilty. but there's no evidence. he confessed twice. he may have done it. -it seems impossible but he may be a murderer. you think he did it don't you? and that my father helped cover it up. how well did you know your father? well enough to know that he's innocent. -i will not rest until his name is cleared even if i have to dig a hole to china myself to prove it. give me that shovel you dolt. look at this look at this. see this? look here. -see this? see? told you. nothing here folks. we can all go about our business. -wait a minute. do you see that? let me in there. dear god in heaven. human bones. -don't screw up. don't screw up. do not screw up. don't screw up. don't screw up. -don't screw up don't... what are you doing here? i'm... i'm not sure. that much is clear. -here. so are we still on for tomorrow night? i told you i was busy. i know but you're not really busy right? you just seemed so uncomfortable yesterday. -like i embarrassed you or something. look i'm gonna mess things up eventually. that's just what i do. at least give me a real chance to mess them up. i am capable of such stupidity you would be wasting my talent to end this now. -come out with me tomorrow night. i'll take you someplace nice. i'm completely terrible on the second date. i wouldn't miss it if i had a chance. please. -so where are we going? well it's a surprise. it's a really really cool surprise. you have no idea where you're taking me. none whatsoever. -i'll see you then. okay let's go through this one more time marvin. is that horace hempleman buried in your back yard? just say no and we can all go home. hal is that you hal? -i didn't even see you come in. hi there marvin. how's peaches? she's wonderful. she bought me this shirt. -says it makes me look sharp as a tack. quite fashionable yes. ask him about the body. he's never gonna give us anything. you didn't tell anyone our secret did you? -no. no i didn't. mum's the word marvin. like you said don't tell anyone. right but... -i kind of need you to tell me now. was it horace hempleman that you buried? peaches just fell for him. she adored that little jim. who's jim? -jim who? i didn't mean to kill him hal. you know i didn't. well sure cracked him. who the heck is jim? -who cares about jim? we don't even know that a jim ever existed. they've got no evidence no last name no motive. they can't hold marvin on that. and what about my father? -everyone still thinks he's complicit in a murder. this town holds onto a juicy scandal like it is the shroud of turin. they'll never let go. my father's name will never be cleared. not even if marvin goes free. -i don't think i can live with that. we could send edna over to town hall. rose could get her access to the records we needed. we could check birth certificates property deeds driver's licenses anything. we can cross-reference track down every jim in everwood history. -go to my office and start assembling the bones from the site. you can use my examining table. i'll be right behind you. right. where you going? -i gotta make dinner first. well well someone got their groove on. i've been practicing. oh practice my ass. you've got mojo hitting those keys. -give up the goods. you hit that laynie action? we have a date. oh i see. and where's this date gonna take place? -i'm not sure. still working on that. okay okay. it's not a problem. what are your options? -i live in everwood so my options are the $ 1.50 movie theater and the $3.00 theater both of which have lilo stitch. you heard of ezekiel's? no but it sounds religious which doesn't spell "action" in my mind. no dude. you'll love it. -it's a jazz bar about 25 minutes out of town. very old school and the piano man will rock your world. but it's a bar. yeah but no worries. i know a guy who'll get you on the list. -but it's a bar. is that gonna be a problem with your dad? no. he'll be fine with it. over my dead body. -why are you asking me a question you already know the answer to? you know i didn't have to tell you. what's that mean? god this old blanket must be full of dust. it means i'm trying to be honest with you. -let me be honest with you. you are going to a bar over my dead body. i think this compress needs more ice. it's not very cold daddy. okay. -matt will put me on the list i won't even need a fake i.d. oh that's comforting. i'm not going there to drink. besides matt will be there. there's a good endorsement. -i'm to trust a guy who kicks me out of my living room? you're supposed to trust me which you don't. i do trust you ephram. i don't think it's appropriate for you to hang out in bars while you're still underage. i think that's pretty logical. -am i way out of line here? look why don't you take laynie to a nice dinner? say at alpine creek? i could drive you. matt was right. -you really don't get it. where's that grape juice? no i don't get it. you're 15 years old. and to tell you the truth i don't appreciate matt encouraging this kind of behavior. -i hired him to be your piano teacher not your frat buddy. how's that feel sweetheart? better. why do you have to ruin anything good that ever happens to me? okay. -here's the deal. you can go to the bar but i'm chaperoning. are you crazy? you want to go on my date with me? well not with you per se. -i'll keep a respectable distance. you could think of me as your own private secret service. oh no. no no no. that's my final offer. -you heard the deal. take it or leave it. burning the midnight oil junior? "diligent" is the word i'd use. still no word from city hall? -none. you know i do remember peaches talking about a jim. i just... i just can't place him. thank you mother. -looks like an ulna. yeah. just like your pops never left a thing undone once he'd started. couldn't let a patient down. here. -tibia maybe? yeah. it's a disgrace that the luddites of this town would for 10 seconds besmirch his name with these ridiculous allegations. it's awfully sweet of you to defend your father but he really doesn't need defending. this doesn't bother you? -i know who he was. you don't think he was involved? do you? i don't know. i mean dad and i worked together side by side for 12 years but apart from cross-checking diagnoses and his lunchtime inquiries about rose and the children... -well let's just say that we had a more formal relationship than i would have liked. something like this happens you wonder whether i knew him at all. no. no this is wrong. it's the other half of the pelvic bone. -this can't be right unless... unless the man marvin says he murdered was actually... a woman. yeah. that's just showing off. -he looks older than my grandpa. can you believe his fingers move that fast? he must be working some serious bengay. so... okay number one how did you get us in here? -two how did you find this place? and three how did you get us in here? i've got connections. mob ties? oh yeah. -i'm all kinds of dangerous. so i don't know how to break this to you. you're married. no. you're leaving the country? -stop. you're marrying bright and then leaving the country? i was gonna say i don't know how to break this to you but you're not messing this up. you know under normal circumstances i'd try and lean in for the kiss right now but... dad cramping your style? -little bit. yeah. no problem. i got you covered. smooth. -i know. i'm all kinds of dangerous. you're coming down with the flu. i'm not getting sick i never get sick. you've been sneezing you're turning gray. -did you get a flu shot? we've never been around each other this much in a two-day period and i'm starting to realize why. why exactly did we choose this hole in the wall for our tête-à-tête? ephram's here on a date. your underage son has a date at a bar you know about it and you're present? -i'm chaperoning. you've got bigger problems than just murder. i'm trying to be a good father by encouraging my son's friendship with his jazz-playing piano teacher. who i hate. you kind of had to be there. -but in the overall rubric off our twisted family dynamic it actually makes sense. bartender another water and a kleenex chaser if you got one. you got it. so what do we got? we got a man's name with no person attached. -a woman's bones with no name attached. a perpetrator with no memory attached. it's bleak. it speaks volumes about your father that you're so determined to clear his name. that's what any son would do. -yeah any son whose father isn't a moron. you said it not me. you were right about ephram. i've got all the parenting instincts of a ficus. i was trying to teach bright how to ride a bike i got so fed up with him i made him cry. -yeah but that was just one incident. oh no i made bright cry all over again when i tried to teach him how to swim. and shave. drive a car. you think there's a limit to how many times you tell a kid you're sorry before he starts to realize that you're never gonna get it right? -this was a terrible idea. hello? dr. brown? this is he. i know something. -something about the murder. you do? what do you know? meet me, and i'll tell you. why can't you tell me now? -well let's just say i got something you want you got something i want. meet me down at the old candy factory in an hour. who is this? and bring your doctor's bag with you. who was that? -i think we just got our first anonymous tip. let's go. grab me some pretzels. you could be a pro. i am a pro. -i'm having a good time ephram. i just... i don't know. the other day when i saw amy i thought maybe you liked her or something. amy and i? -oh we're totally just friends. i mean we hung out a bit talked about your brother a lot. it was all colin all the time. i tried to get her to diversify but no luck. so ironic. -what's that? her being so devoted to colin when he was gonna break up with her. what are you talking about? he was thinking about it at least. he told me a few days before the accident. -he liked her but not as much as she liked him. did you tell colin that when he came home? i didn't have the heart. now i don't have to. he's fallen in love with her. -and this time it's pretty equal. so amy has no idea? no. none? you cannot tell her you cannot... -why would i tell her? i'm not an idiot. no i didn't mean it like that. i just... i know what you meant. -what was that? what was that? how would i know? well did it sound human to you? yeah in a metal-hand-scraping-on-concrete kind of a way. -if this is an ambush we're as good as ants on a hot tarmac. why would anyone want to ambush us? oh you know why does a homicidal maniac want to do anything? we know nothing about the identity or the credibility of this guy. he could be some diabolical publicity-mongering lunatic. -charlie. what are you doing here? i tried getting here before you arrived but it's slow going with this thing. you're the one who made the call? what's this? -i got eyes. the cops go through they miss things. i found something they overlooked. now me. you got the bag? -yeah. get out your prescription pad. charlie katzenbach i am shocked that you would exploit a moment like this for personal gain. you are aware that narcotic use is illegal in the united states. who said anything about narcotics? -viagra brown. two bottles. fill her up. i can't believe you'd just toss aside your hippocratic oath without so much as a blush. i wrote him a prescription for flintstone vitamins. -what's in there? is it a clue? family photos. oh you're kidding me. "marvin and peaches grand canyon trip." -"marvin and peaches wedding night." "marvin and peaches town hall retirement party." great. great great. what we needed. -what we really needed right now after driving 71/2 miles outside of town to... to haggle with that geriatric shyster in this godforsaken rat-infested arson hazard is a nice stroll down memory lane with marvin and peaches. and jim. marvin and peaches and jim. their dog. -think i broke some kind of bad date record. are you trying to be charming? depends. is it working? i don't know what to say. -then don't say anything. i want to be honest with you but it's hard because i didn't even know i wasn't being honest with you until tonight. denial works in mysterious ways. you know you were right about amy. i guess i've kind of always had this thing for her. -i don't want to. i try not to. but i can't help it. i met you and i thought you were so cool and it would just erase everything i felt for her. but it didn't and now i feel like a total jerk for hurting your feelings. -ephram i've had a really rough year so on my scale of misery you barely even register. don't beat yourself up. barely register? you know brother in a coma... i've never wanted to be in a coma so much until i moved to everwood. -this place can do that to you. so look no harm no foul. we're cool really. i'll see you around. see you laynie. -he's my, um... he works with us. and apparently has an uncanny radar for where the fun is. steve went to st. sebastian's. so, um, he was, uh, all city guard and-and-and high honors, right? -i told you that in strict confidence. i'm using everything i can to get her to like me. well... so... anybody for basketball? -yeah, yeah. let's go. steve's really good. thanks. i mean, yeah. -what? do i have something in my teeth? oh, no, no, no. i just... it's a little embarrassing. i... when i first met you, i-i thought there was, uh, something between you and jake. -really? no. no. we work together, and you know how those things are. those worlds - they don't mix. -they collide. right. business and... sorry. sorry. -but, uh... but you and steve work together? yeah, but he's in a different division. and you and jake are in the same division. exactly. so, uh, i.t. is in the same division as, uh, medical research? -no. no, no. that wouldn't make any sense. uh, did i say 'division'? 'cause really in the nsa, it's more like, um, like-like 'wings'. -no, thanks. nice going. thanks. ooh, look what steve won. so you and diane - pretty sudden. -i know. she's great, isn't she? so, you guys are friends. has she said anything about me? no, not really. -it's a winner! thanks. steve, you can't keep winning everything. i don't have enough room on my bed. you can make some room. -hey, uh, test your strength, fellows? no, thanks. come on. sure. sure. -come on, clemens. i'm buying. here you go. all right. now, there's a strong man. -nice. okay. here goes nothing. oh! foley! -you're a beast. uh... winner. are you all right? cheater. woo! -churros. i'll treasure it always. um, so what do you want to do next? uh... is something wrong? -uh, sarah, i have to go. i'll call you. what? hey, clemens, have you done any field work? -just basic training. why? you know what a code nine is? yeah. call it in right now. -code word, vasily. what's happ...? no. no! what are you doing? -i'm saving your ass. he's already down, man! yeah. okay. open it up. -why don't you guys go get yourselves some coffee? i didn't think to bring you any. it's a diuretic. yeah, that would be problematic given the sparse modern confines of your new home. i've been in worse. -i'm glad you approve. since twice you've assaulted an agent of the united states government, i doubt you'll be seeing the outside world again for another ten to fifteen years minimum. oh, now that's got to bother you. must be really tough not having any people around to kidnap, huh? -foreign diplomats, british intelligence... are you going to torture me, or are you just going to talk me to death? no. we don't torture prisoners in this country, no matter how much we might like to. that's a shame. -i find pain to be the most effective way of getting what you want. is that why you tried to hurt my friend, hmm? to get something from him? i cannot believe you tried to take him down alone. thank god steve had your back. -yeah. this is healing nicely. you know he's getting a commendation. we're going to go out and celebrate tonight. even talk of making him an active field agent. -diane, they don't just make anybody agents, okay? don't be jealous, jake. there's plenty of room here for two heroes. yeah, and only one of us is paying alimony. go figure. -what are you talking about? steve's divorced. yes, i know. he told me. they married right out of college, and she ended up loving her job a little... more than she loved him. -did... he didn't tell you this. have you been checking up on him? oh, please. come on, like i don't have enough to do? i'm analyzing money trails. -i'm pursuing... dangerous... mercenaries, uh... come on. okay, okay, maybe i took a little peek into his personnel file. oh, i cannot believe you. me? diane, me? -diane, why is a crypto guy carrying a gun to a carnival? oh, jake, half the people in this building carry guns. half the people in this country carry guns. there's something wrong with him. oh, no, there is something wrong with you. -you've lost the ability to relate on a personal level. oh... that is not true. yes, it is. you don't even leave your house all weekend. you go out, and you're completely awkward. -i saw how you were with sarah. oh, god... i ran out on her. i totally forgot. do you see? -what is going on? all right, we kissed, like, a week ago, okay, and-and... i don't know. well, isn't that a good thing? i mean, you-you've liked this girl... forever. -diane, i have millions of microscopic robots running around inside of me. please tell me what the next step in this relationship is, because i have no clue. i mean, the best i can hope for is that i don't lie to her, because she can never know the real me. nobody can ever know the real me. -nobody except you. jake... i'm here for you. i'm not going anywhere... but you got to stop cutting yourself off from everybody else. there is life outside this building. -anything? nothing. i'll keep at it, but i don't think he'll give up his bosses. no good for the rep. lafortunata called. -he says he wants to talk. yeah, and talk, and talk... i'm on it. i'll go with you. bless you. -hey. hi. sarah, i-i am so sorry about last night. it was work. this thing came up... -jake stop. i get it. you do? look, we kissed... and it was nice. yeah, yes, it was. -i don't think either of us expected there would be something there, but there was. i felt it, and i thought you felt it, too... but you don't have to keep coming up with these stories to cover the fact that you're... hesitant. i'm not. i'm not. it's... -i don't want to wreck this. i don't either. but i need to know how you feel, jake. i need you to be completely honest with me. you want me to be honest? -totally. vladimir sticj. your boy jake put me onto him. not of any prominence, really. he, uh... tended bar at the beer hall putsch in 1923, spent the last 40 years buried in a less than ornate grave at the bierkel cemetery. -i don't follow. just wait for it. now, technically, this guy is the sole shareholder of the same corporation that hired vasily. one of my fraternity brothers - boola-boola - has a-a cousin who opened a transistor factory in gdansk. now, he says that this "corporation" is actually a front for local mafia, mostly, you know, ex-kbg and whatnot. -well, why would a local syndicate send a mercenary to dc? well, because... because they're-they're obsessed with cutting edge technology - most recently, nano-technology. vasily was commissioned to retrieve a human subject to get them in the nanotech game. now, if you guys know anybody, you know, who fits that bill, now, i would recommend getting him well-protected - they got deep, deep pockets. it is not going to end with this vasily character. -welcome. you're welcome, guys. you guys... stop by any time. wow, uh... that-that's unbelievable. i... -i don't know what to say. there's nothing you can say. i mean, really - you can't tell this to anyone ever. so, let me get this straight, um... you're a secret agent at the nsa, and... there-there are these tiny robots... computers, really. -microscopic computers. they're self-replicating, feed off... uh... yeah, t-tiny robots. and-and they got inside you, and, uh, now you have these, um... superhuman abilities. okay. -i-i know this is a lot to take in, but i felt like... well, i just... i-i needed to be one hundred percent... i just asked you to be honest with me, jake. sarah... you know what? -it's been a blast. at least i didn't lie... do you have to be so dramatic? ! get in! -you got lucky. vasily was hired to retrieve a human subject linked to the nano-technology. i don't get it. jake, he's here for you. what? -that doesn't make any sense. he could've had me... twice. why didn't he take me? let's ask him. okay, wake up, sleeping beauty. -i got some more questions for you. hey. you got a dead prisoner in there - you want to tell me what the hell happened? that's impossible. no. -no. no! we searched him completely. no unauthorized personnel has been in there. then what authorized person has? -the last visitor was... steve clemens. what? diane's new boyfriend. he's a dirty agent. -he's working with vasily. once we caught him... steve had no choice. he couldn't let him talk. he cut out the middleman. -he's going to finish the job, and give them exactly what they want: an expert on nano-technology: diane. so... you're not going to tell me where we're going? uh, i told you... it's a surprise. -okay. bring up the feeds for all metro intersection cameras and toll booths. steve clemens took the black duffel out of the evidence locker. diane isn't answering her cell or home phone. oh, no, she's with him. -cross-check with steve clemen's license plate. what's the number? a dc plate, 4bmh359. come on! where? -key bridge into virginia. when? about fifteen minutes ago. re-task all available eyes in the sky. start tracking sequences. -i want a pinpoint. oh, my god. steve. hope you like boats. i do. -a friend of mine chartered one. turns out he's not going to use it, so i thought we could take a little pleasure cruise. and i'll cook you dinner. ooh. how's that sound? -i think it sounds very romantic. oh, i'm glad you think so. what's the status on the vehicle. clemens' vehicle is stationary. two miles east on 60, royal avenue exit. -copy that. jake, nothing's going to happen to diane. you pissed? very. good. -fan out, fan formation. no one fires unless fired upon. oh, steve. this is so fantastic. let's go, let's go! -jake! you okay? what are you doing here? ! where is he? -! i've got the champagne. foley. it's okay. you shouldn't be here. -steve! why don't you tell her why you really want her, huh? what's going on? sorry, diane. i really like you, but you can't imagine how much they're paying me. -jake, turn the boat around. oh, that's not going to happen. jake! are you okay? yeah. -lousy. ugly. lying. bastard. lone. -only. lonely. solo. sadly, badly and madly. that's all i got. -it's your turn. okay, uh, i have, um... "tush." that's it? oh, uh, and, um... -"tush-y." i guess you win. hmm. again. whoo-hoo. -oh, god, i feel like such an idiot. hey, could have happened to anybody. yeah. not just anyone allows themselves to get wined and dined and sold into white scientist slavery. -well, that just, uh, proves how special you are. yeah. i guess i should have listened to you. you were just trying to save me from the world's most pathetic breakup. well, second most pathetic. -i win that one, actually. i guess sometimes people, they don't want to see the truth even... when it's sitting right in front of them. yeah. do you think you can take me? oh. -well, i-i don't know if i can compete with your... brain. oh, yeah? you weren't even trying. well, apparently the only word you don't know is "mercy." -i didn't see that one. seriously, diane, y-you have an amazing mind. yeah. why can't i find a guy who's just after my body, huh? hong-fist is the most prominent feature among 13 branches of lingnan fists -people think differently about its origin many say that in late ming dynasty hong si guan, a shaolin disciple introduced it to guangdong and made it known there hong-fist therefore has been around for hundreds of years and had many talents due to changes of era and personal needs it has been developed into a precise and essential form of martial arts there is a vast variety of hong-fist including broad steps and long distance type of martial arts fighting also narrow steps and short distance type of defensive martial arts skills -evolved from shaolin's 18 arhat-fists and developed by hong si guan it's also the most prominent style strong and powerful performed by chen kuan tai this is the third form of the eye shape tiger killing technique this is the dragon and tiger cross fighting technique this is the conquer center with single finger "tiger crane double form set" combines the utmost power of tigers and the unique swiftness of cranes it is unbeatable for all performed by fu sheng -the tiger technique the tiger claws technique the crane technique the crane beak the idea of "ten form set" -is evolved from five different creatures and the five elements it has the shape of these elements and the essence of each one of them performed by chi kuan chun the snake technique the tiger technique the jaguar technique the dragon technique -the crane technique the metal and wood technique the water and fire technique the earth technique slave labour! -futile drudgery! the sturdiest sword i ever made was strong enough for giants to fight with. but the one i made it for, that uncouth boy, snaps it in half as if it were some plaything for children! but there is a sword that he couldn't break. nothung's fragments would defy his antics if only i could piece them together again. -but welding that sword is beyond my powers. if i could mend it for the fearless boy i'd be amply rewarded for all this humiliation. fafner, the dreadful dragon, lurks in his forest lair. -with the crushing coils of his body the nibelung's hoard he jealously guards. siegfried's youthful strength would put paid to fafner for good. then i could grab the nibelung's ring for myself. there's only one sword that's up to the task: nothung alone can serve my purpose, the devastating sword in siegfried's hands. -but i can't mend it, nothung, the sword! slave labour! futile drudgery! the sturdiest sword i ever made will never stand up to the test! all this bashing and hammering is just to appease the boy. -whatever i make he ruins but he goes wild if i don't do as he says. go get him! eat him up, swallow him whole, the ugly little runt! stop this nonsense! what are you, a bear? -i come in company, the better to hurt you: bruin, enquire about the sword! hei! let that animal be! there it is, over there. -i finished it this morning. right, we'll let you live another day. bye-bye, bruin! no need for you any more. look, i don't mind you killing bears but i don't want them poking their snouts in here! -i was looking for better company than the kind i've got back home. in the depths of the forest i let off a toot on my horn. maybe the call would attract someone i could be friends with. at least, that was the idea. a bear came out of the bushes and growled a bit and listened. -i liked him much better than you, though i dare say i could do better still! so i roped him in for my plan to buck up your ideas with that sword! it's a nice, sharp sword, you'll really like the blade. what point is there in being sharp if the steel isn't hard and stout? -hey, what shoddy rubbish is this? you call this knitting needle a sword? there are the remains, you botching bungler! i should have broken it over your skull! how much more trash is this windbag going to palm off on me? -keeps babbling about giants and sword fights, bold exploits, deeds of derring-do, says he'll make me weapons, all kinds of swords, boasts of his skill, as if he were really good! but whenever i get hold of the results the whole thing falls apart in my hands! if the little runt were worth the trouble i'd bash him to bits along with his trash, the ridiculous old fool! that would get him out of my hair for good! -what's got you into this temper? how can you be so ungrateful? if there's the tiniest thing wrong with what i make the thankless lout completely forgets all the things i've done for him in the past. why do you always ignore what i taught you about gratitude? you owe me respect and obedience after all i've done for you! -but that's the last thing you want to hear! but it looks like you're hungry, am i right? look, roasted meat from the oven! would you fancy some of this soup? i've cooked it all for you. -i can do my own cooking. you can guzzle that slop yourself! so this is the reward for my loving care! the paltry recompense for my concern! as a whining baby i brought you up, gave the little fellow clothes to keep him warm. -i plied you with food and drink, looked after you like my very own self. and as you grew up i cared for you still, made you a nice bed for your slumbers. i made you toys and a horn to blow, gladly did all i could to make you happy, gave you wise advice, sharpened your wits with useful lore. when i stay at home, working and slaving, you roam through the woods as you like. -this worrying and fretting is all for you, it'll finish me off in the end! and this is the thanks for all my care! the thoughtless boy torments and hates me! you taught me a lot, mime, and i learned a few things from you. but the thing you wanted to teach me most -i've never managed to learn: to stand the sight of you! whenever you bring me food and drink sheer disgust turns my stomach. when you make up a bed for my slumbers sleep refuses to come. when you try to teach me the things you know -i'd rather be deaf and stupid. and when i watch you going about your business everything you do gets my hackles raised! when i see you tottering around, stumbling, nodding, and squinting at me, i want to grab you by the throat and shake the living daylights out of you! that's how i feel about you, mime. -but if you're so clever, tell me one thing. i never managed to figure it out. i go off to the woods to avoid you. but why do i come back in the end? all the animals are dearer to me than you. -trees and birds, the fish in the stream, i like them all better than you. so why do i come home after all? if you're so wise, then tell me! my boy, what you learn from that is how fond you are of me, deep down. -i can't stand the sight of you, don't forget that! you're just saying that to be nasty. you really should curb your tongue! baby animals are always whining for their parents and their home. it's a token of their love. -that's why you keep coming back to me: it's a sign of your love for mime. and that's the way it should be! birds look after their fledglings, they feed them in the nest until they are ready to fly. the love they feel is the love you feel for the selfless care i give you. -that must be it! well, mime, if you're so clever, then tell me one last thing! in springtime, when the birds were singing and calling to one another, you told me yourself when i asked you that they were males and females. they were billing and cooing and they never parted. they built a nest and brought up their young, the youngsters fluttered around in the nest and both parents shared the job. -and down on the ground the deer were mating, even wild beasts like foxes or wolves. the male went off and brought back food, the female suckled her young. that was how i learnt what love is. i never took the young away from their mothers. so where is she, mime? -where's your loving mate, the woman i can call mother? what nonsense is this? oh, you're such a fool! you're not a bird, are you? -or a fox? as a whining baby you brought me up, gave the little fellow clothes to keep him warm. but how did you get me in the first place? are you saying you made me without a mother? i've told you the facts, so believe what i say. -i'm your father and mother, all in one! that's a lie, you evil wretch! youngsters always look like their parents. that's one thing i've learned for myself. when i looked down into the clear waters of the stream -i saw the trees and the animals mirrored in the water, sun and clouds, just as they are. they looked just the same in the glittering brook. and then i saw my own image. and i didn't look anything like you! a toad and a darting fish were more alike, but no fish was ever born of a toad! -what idiotic drivel you're spouting! you see? now i know the answer to that question i asked you before. when i go off to the woods to avoid you why do i come back in the end? it's because i need you to tell me who my father and mother were! -father! mother! what a silly question! i'll choke it out of you if i have to! you'll never tell me of your own accord! -you never told me anything if i didn't make you. i'd hardly have learned to speak if i hadn't forced you to teach me, you wretch! out with it, you mangy scoundrel! who are my father and mother? are you trying to kill me, or what? -lay off! i'll tell you what you want to know, as best i can. you evil, thankless boy! now hear what you hate me for! i'm not your father, nor any relation, but without me you'd not be alive! -though we have no ties, i'm your only friend. it was charity alone that made me take you in and a fine reward i have for my pains! how could i be so foolish as to expect thanks? one day i came across a woman whimpering out there in the woods. i helped her back to this place -and looked after her here in the warm. she was great with child and soon her time had come. she thrashed about in her pain. i helped as best i could. her agony was awful! -she died. but siegfried survived. so my mother died through me? she entrusted you to my care and i was happy to look after the child. -the lengths that mime went to, the trouble he took in his kindness! "as a whining baby i brought you up..." yes, we've heard that before! now tell me: why is my name siegfried? -your mother told me to call you by that name, as "siegfried" you would grow strapping and handsome. "i gave the little fellow clothes to keep him warm..." but what was my mother's name? i really cannot say! "i plied you with food and drink..." tell me her name at once! -i must have forgotten. no, wait! sieglinde was her name, i think, who left you to me. "i looked after you like my very own self..." one more question! -who was my father? i never met him. but my mother mentioned his name? all she said was he'd been killed in combat. then she gave me the orphan. -"and as you grew up i cared for you still," "made you a nice bed for your slumbers..." oh, give us a rest, will you? if you want me to believe your story, if you haven't been making it all up give me some token to prove it! what more do you want? -i won't believe what you tell me. i'll only believe what i see! what proof do you have for your story? your mother gave me this. for trouble, care and food she left it as meagre recompense. -look, it's a broken sword. she said your father wielded it in the fight in which he was killed. this is the sword you must mend for me! then at last i'll have a proper weapon! come on! -hurry up, mime! get moving! if you're so skilful, now's the time to prove it! forget the shoddy trash you've fobbed me off with. this is the one sword i can trust! -if i find you idle, if you do a bad job, if you patch up the steel instead of forging it new then i'll flay your craven hide, you'll get a drubbing you won't forget! i want that sword and i want it soon. i must have it before the day's out! why are you in such a hurry? i want to get out of this wood and never come back! -at last i'm free. nothing holds me back! you're not my father. my home is far away. your house is not my house. -i'm a stranger under your roof. like a fish in the water, like a bird winging away in the air, i'll be off from here in a trice, away like the wind over the woods, never to see you, mime, again! hey! wait! -where are you going? there he goes charging off! and i'm stuck here! my plight was bad enough and now it's even worse. now i'm really in a fix! -how can i get out of it? how can i keep him here? how can i get this hothead to fafner's lair? how can i weld those stubborn pieces of steel? no furnace is fiery enough to melt them, no hammer of mine is hard enough to forge them. -neither the hate in my heart nor trouble and sweat will put nothung together and weld the sword back into shape! hail to you, wise smith! your guest is weary from his travels. grant me the shelter of your house! who has found me here in the wild wood? -who has hunted me down in the grim forest? in the world i am known as "wanderer". i have wandered many a mile. on the face of the earth i have roamed far and wide! -well then, roam some more and be off! wanderer, live up to your name! good folk have been hospitable to me, many a gift i received from them. he who fears misfortune usually deserves it. -misfortune has always dogged me. would you pile more trouble on my head? much have i witnessed, my knowledge is great. i have shared that knowledge with many, helped to free them of their troubles, the distress that weighed them down. -maybe you are wise enough to see to the heart of things, but i don't need spies like that here! i want to be left alone, on my own, and i don't want any loiterers here! many have believed that they were wise but what would serve them best they did not know. what they needed i made them ask me and they profited from my advice. useless knowledge is a futile burden. -i know enough for my purposes. i have my wits and that's all i need, so take your wisdom somewhere else! i sit at your fire and wager my head. it's yours if i cannot answer. my head is yours to do with as you will if the answers i give bring you no profit, if i cannot advise you for the best. -how can i get rid of this intruder? i must catch him out with my questions. you have wagered your head for shelter. so have all your wits about you! three questions -i shall ask you. and i must answer all three. you have wandered far on the face of the earth and seen much of the world. so tell me, if you can, what race of beings dwells in the depths of the earth? in the depths of the earth dwell the nibelungs. -nibelheim is their home. they are black spirits. once, long ago, alberich ruled over them. the awesome power of a magic ring bent the diligent dwarves to his will. a rich hoard of shimmering treasure they amassed at his behest. -with its aid he thought to win the world for himself. what is your second question, say? wanderer, you seem to know much of the realms at the heart of the world. now say in a word what race of beings lives on the face of the earth? -on the face of the earth lives the race of giants. riesenheim is their home. fasolt and fafner, their rugged lords, envied the nibelungs' power. they won the huge hoard for themselves and with it the ring. that ring caused the brothers to quarrel, -fafner killed fasolt to have it and now he guards it as a fearsome dragon. i await your third question. wanderer, you seem to know much of the realms on the face of the earth. now tell me true what race of beings dwells on high above the clouds? -on high, above the clouds dwell the gods. valhalla is the name of their palace. they are spirits of light. light alberich, wotan, rules over their hosts. -from the most hallowed branch of the primeval ash he fashioned the shaft of his spear. though the ash may wither that spear shall never lose its power. with the point at its head wotan holds sway over the world. the runes safeguarding the contracts he made are carved on the shaft of the spear. the weft of the world has in his hands he who wields the spear in wotan's grasp. -the nibelung hordes acknowledged his power, his counsel tamed the race of giants. all of them owe obeisance to the mighty lord of the spear. now tell me, in your wisdom, did i answer the questions right? have i redeemed my head? -you knew the answers, you've saved your neck, so, wanderer, be on your way! what you need to know i told you to ask. i wagered my head on the outcome. as you do not know what would profit you -i now claim yours as a pledge. the welcome you gave me was surly, i put my head in your hands to enjoy the shelter of your home. now the turn is mine and your head is forfeit if you fail to answer my three questions. -so pluck up your courage, mime! my native land i left long ago, long ago i crawled from my mother's womb. i know the light of wotan's eye, it is fixed on me here and now. my cunning cringes before it. but wisdom, it seems, is my only recourse, so, wanderer, ask what you will! -perhaps, in this evil dilemma, i can manage to save my head. now, honest mime, tell me first what is the name of the race -that wotan vented his fury on though it is dearest of all to his heart? little i know of heroes' lore but this question holds no terrors. the wälsungs are the chosen race that wotan fathered and tenderly loved though he treated them harshly indeed. siegmund and sieglinde were wälse's children, a wild and desperate pair of twins. siegfried was born of their union, a youth of invincible strength. -am i right, wanderer? have i saved my head? profound indeed is your knowledge of these things. your wisdom, churl, astounds me! the first game goes to you. -but now comes the second question. a cunning nibelung is siegfried's guardian. he wants him to kill fafner so that he can get at the ring and be lord of the mighty hoard. what sword must siegfried wield if fafner is to die at his hands? -nothung's the name of that doughty sword. wotan thrust it in the trunk of an ash and said it would be his by right who managed to pull it back out. the strongest warriors tried and failed, only bold siegmund was equal to the task. he wielded it in combat till it shattered on wotan's spear. the pieces are in the keeping of a wily smith for he knows that wotan's sword alone will empower siegfried, the bold, brainless boy, to deal the dragon the fatal wound. -have i saved my neck once again? the wiliest you are of the wily! who else could match your wisdom? but if you are clever enough to use the youthful hero for your dwarfish designs you must answer the third question now. -tell me, wily weapon-smith, who will weld that sword together again and fashion nothung anew? the pieces? the sword? curses! -i'm trapped! what shall i say? my mind's gone blank! accursed steel that i took for my own! it's brought me nothing but calamity! -it will not yield to my hammer's blows, rivets and solder serve no purpose! the wiliest smith is at his wits' end! who will mend the sword if the task is beyond me? no one can know, so how should i? three questions you were given, three times i was yours for the asking. -the questions you asked were futile. the thing you really needed to know, that crucial question you failed to ask. and now i've guessed it and it drives you insane! your wily head has fallen to me! now, valiant dragon-slayer, though you're doomed, hear what i say: -"only he who has never known fear" "can forge nothung anew." your wily head guard well, if you can! i leave it for him to claim who has never known fear! curse this light! -what is that glare in the air? what's that flickering and quivering, flimmering and wavering, what is looming and glooming and hovering all around? it glimmers and glitters in the light of the sun! what's that humming and thrumming and droning nearby? -it's growling and howling and hurtling this way! it breaks forth from the woods and it's coming nearer! a horrible maw gapes before my eyes! the dragon is after me! fafner! -fafner! hey, you idler! have you finished it? quick! show me my new sword! -where is mime? has he done a bunk? hey, mime, you coward! where are you? where've you hidden yourself? -is it you, child? are you on your own? behind the table? why are you skulking there? is my sword ready? -the sword? how could i mend it? "only he" "who has never known fear" "can forge nothung anew." -i know too much for such work! will you give me an answer? do you want some help? who can help me in my dilemma? i've wagered my wise old head. -it's forfeit, it's his to claim "who has never known fear". what babble is this? are you trying to fool me? i might try to fool anyone who knows what fear is! -but i forgot to teach the boy that! like an idiot, i neglected the one thing i need. i tried to teach him to love me. and that went badly wrong! but how can i teach him what fear is? -hey, do you hear me? where's my sword? concerned for your welfare i fell to thinking about some important advice i must give you. you thought so hard that you were grovelling on the floor! -what advice did you find for me there? i learned fear for your sake so that i can teach you what it is. what's this talk of fear? have you never felt it? and you want to leave the woods for the wide world? -what use would the sturdiest sword be to you if you don't know what fear is? is this some more of your bogus advice? the advice i give you comes from your mother. i must keep the solemn promise i gave her not to expose you to the wiles of the world before you have learned fear. is it some skill? -why don't i know about it? tell me! what's all this talk about fear? imagine you're lost in the depths of the woods, the light is failing, the place is dark. suddenly you hear something humming and droning, it's getting nearer, growling and roaring, -a horrid flickering quivers all around, a monstrous throbbing descends on you! did you not feel your flesh creep as horror transfixed you to the spot? nameless dread makes you shudder and shake, appalled and aghast, you can feel your heart hammering, fit to burst! -if you've never been through all that then you do not know what fear is. what a strange feeling that must be! sturdy and stout my heart beats in my breast. all this horror and dread, this shuddering and shaking, quivering and quaking, hammering and trembling, i'd like to give it a try! -it's a pleasure i yearn to sample! but how will you teach me that, mime? how could your puny powers be equal to the task? follow me. i will be your guide. -i've thought of a way to do it. i know of an evil dragon who kills and devours his victims. fafner will teach you what fear is, so follow me to his lair. and where is that lair of his? hell hole the place is called, to the east, at the rim of the forest. -then it cannot be far from the world? the world begins near his lair. then take me there at once! when i've learned fear i'll go out into the world! quickly now! -make me the sword i can wield out there in the world! the sword? curses! get back to your work! -show me what you've done! the sword is jinxed! i cannot repair it. the spell that guards it defies my powers. someone who knows no fear might be better at doing the job. -enough of these flimsy excuses! you're no good at your job! admit it instead of squirming your way out like this! give me the pieces, bungler, and stand aside! my father's sword will obey my will. -i shall forge it anew myself! if you'd paid more attention to learning my skills it'd stand you in good stead now! but you never put your mind to the task so how do you think you can cope? if the teacher can't do it, what good would it do if i'd always been a good pupil? now get out of the way and don't interfere or you'll end up in the fire as well! -what do you think you're doing? use the solder! it's ready and waiting, i made it myself! no solder for me! i don't need it! -i can't make a sword with your muck! you're ruining the file, you're wrecking the rasp! would you batter the sword to pieces? i'm filing it down to splinters. then i can make the broken blade whole! -expert advice is no use here, i see that now. his own folly is the only thing that can help this fool. with what zest he goes about his work! the steel is melting but there's no sweat on his brow! -old as the woods i may be but i've never seen anything like this! he'll mend the sword, i can see it coming, he's getting it back into shape. the wanderer knew it well! how can i save my hapless head? -it will fall to this lout if fafner does not teach him fear! but there's the rub! how could he kill the dragon if the dragon struck fear in his heart? how can i get hold of the ring? devilish fix! -my fate is sealed unless i can find some way to outwit this rowdy myself! hey, mime! quick! what's the name of the sword that i have filed down to splinters? nothung's the name of the valiant blade. -your mother told me. nothung! nothung! valiant blade! what force could make you shatter? -now that i've splintered the glorious blade i can melt the shards in the furnace. blow, bellows, blow! fan the flames! there was once a tree growing wild in the wood, -i felled it in the forest. i burnt the brown ash until it was coal and here it lies piled on the hearth. blow, bellows, blow! fan the flames! the coal from that tree burns bright and bold. -how bright and fair are the flames! the sizzling sparks go leaping up! the shredded steel is a molten mass! blow, bellows, blow! fan the flames! -the sword will be his, fafner has no chance, i can see it all, clear as day! the hoard and the ring will be his to command so how can i make it all mine? with crafty cunning i'll win the whole lot and save my head into the bargain! when he's worn himself out with the dragon -i'll make him a drink for his pains. with the juices won from potent herbs i'll concoct something special for him. a few drops of it will be ample to numb his senses in sleep. and then with the weapon he made for himself -i can finish him off with ease, and the ring and the hoard are mine! nothung! nothung! valiant blade! hey! -wise wanderer! now the shreds of steel are melted down! you thought me stupid? now you lie here in your own lather! how do you like my crafty plan? -have i got my head out of the noose? soon i shall wield you as my own! a stream of fire flowed into the water, how it hissed in its raging wrath! but, fiery as it flowed, it flows in the water no more. -now it is hard and stiff, lordly is the sturdy steel. but soon hot blood will be flowing down its blade! now seethe anew so that i can forge you, nothung, valiant blade! what's that dolt up to there with his pots? -when i'm forging steel are you rustling up slop? the craftsman stands disgraced, the teacher must learn from his prentice. old mime has given his craft up for good, now he serves the boy as cook. while he melts down the iron in the fire old mime cooks eggs for his meal. mime, the craftsman, is learning to cook. -he has lost all zest in his trade. all the swords he made me i snapped in two and i will not sample his cooking! he's promised to take me where i can learn fear, some dragon's supposed to scare me stiff. the skill he knows best he cannot teach me, he bungles everything he does! my hammer is forging a doughty sword! -your steely blue was tinted with gore, ran red with the blush of fresh blood. grim was the relish you took as you licked the warm blood cool! now the furnace has fired you red, your soft hardness yields to the hammer. angrily you spit your sparks at me for taming your proud spirit! he forges himself a sturdy sword to slay fafner, mime's foe. -i have cunningly brewed a potion to stun siegfried when he's killed the dragon. my plan is crafty indeed, the reward is as good as mine! my hammer is forging a doughty sword! how the sizzling sparks rejoice my heart! spit out in anger, they honour my feat. -the sight of you gladdens my eyes though you glower grim and gaunt! with fire and hammer i have forged you anew, with powerful blows i have beaten you straight. now cast off the blush of shame! be cold and hard once again! the shimmering ring my brother made, the mighty magic it holds. -the golden ring that makes me king is now within my grasp! at last it is mine! alberich, who made me slave for him, alberich will be my slave! the nibelungs will have a new lord, all their hordes are mine to command! what honour he'll have, the downtrodden dwarf! -gods and heroes will envy the treasures he owns. at a nod from me the world will blench and quake in the face of my wrath! nothung! nothung! valiant blade! -now you are fixed in the hilt! then mime's toiling will be at an end. broken you were, now i've made you whole. no blow will ever snap you again! let others labour to make me rich! -the sword that failed my dying father is forged anew by his living son. the gleaming blade rejoices his eye, its sharpness cuts hard and true. mime the mighty, mime is king! lord of the underworld, ruler of all! -nothung! nothung! valiant blade! i have roused you to new life, dead though you were and undone. now you shine again, to challenge the world! -hey, mime! what a brilliant feat! let miscreants quail at your sheen! who'd have thought it? slaughter the villains, slash the rogues! -look, mime, you smith! see what siegfried's sword can do! in the dark of the forest i stand guard near hell hole. no sound escapes me, my eyes strain to pierce the gloom. are those the first streaks of dawn? -or what is it that flecks the darkness? what sudden gleam flashes there? there's a brightness coming this way, plunging ahead like a fiery charger, surging this way through the woods. is this the dragon-slayer? is it he who shall kill fafner? -the light has faded, the gleam has died away. it is night again. who is this, shimmering in the shadows? by night i have sought out hell hole. -who lurks in the darkness there? you dare to show yourself here? what do you want? get out of here! on your way, shameless thief! -alberich! is that you prowling around? are you guarding fafner's lair? what new evil are you plotting? take yourself off, out of my sight! -this place is steeped in your treachery. leave it to me, do you hear? i came to watch, not to intervene. who would bar the wanderer's way? -you scheming blackguard! i have learned from my errors, you will not outwit me again. it won't be so easy to get the ring this time! beware! i know all your tricks! -and i know your weak points, too. none of them have escaped me. you paid your debts with my treasure. my ring was the giants' reward for building valhalla for you. the bargain you made with those ruffians -is still carved in runes on the shaft of your proud spear. that ties your hands, you cannot wrest the wage you paid away from the giants again. the shaft of your spear would splinter, the mighty token of your power would shatter to bits in your hands! i have no contract with you that would bend you to my will. -by its power alone the spear keeps you cowed. i shall use it on you if there's need! what a fine show of haughty disdain you make though at heart you are quaking in fear! my curse has put the mark of death on the guardian of the hoard. who will inherit his wealth? -will the nibelung regain possession of the treasure? the prospect preys on your mind! for when i have the ring in my grasp again, unlike those dim-witted giants i shall make better use of its power. your army of heroes will not help you then. i'll storm valhalla with the forces of night and then i'll be lord of the world! -i know your plans very well but they cause me no concern. he shall be lord of the ring who wins it for himself. why be so mysterious about something i know full well? your hopes are pinned to a hero's son, the scion of your own blood. -have you nurtured well that glorious boy to pick you the fruit that you can never pluck? spare your venom and use it on mime. your brother spells danger for you. he's coming this way with a boy he hopes will kill fafner for him. the boy has no knowledge of me, mime is using him for his purposes. -so, my friend, my advice to you is: do exactly what you think best! hear what i say and be on your guard! the boy is ignorant of the ring. but mime well knows its worth! -you have no designs on the gold? those i love i leave to fend for themselves. for better or worse, their fate is in their hands. only heroes are of use to me. -mime is my only rival for the ring? only you and he lust after the gold. but you say it would still not be mine? a hero is approaching to free the hoard. two nibelungs desire the treasure. -fafner, the guardian of the ring, will die. get your hands on it first and it's yours! what more do you want? the dragon lies in his lair. warn him of what's in store and he'll perhaps leave you the gold. -i'll wake him for you myself. fafner! fafner! rouse yourself, dragon! what folly is this? -does he really want me to have it? who disturbs my sleep? here is one who has come to warn you. you'll pay with your life unless you pay him for your life with the hoard you guard! what does he want? -awake, fafner! rouse yourself, dragon! a valiant hero comes this way to challenge you and prevail. i hunger for him. the boy is bold and strong, his sword cuts sharp and deep. -all he wants is the ring of gold! give me the ring in reward and there'll be no need to fight. the hoard is yours and you can grow old in peace! here i lie, the hoard is mine. let me sleep! -well, alberich, that was a flop! but rail at me no more! i advise you, mark me well! all things are as they are. nothing you can do will change that. -i leave the place to you, so stake your claim! try your luck with mime, your brother. you'll fare better with his kind. that others are different you will find out soon enough! -there he goes striding away, leaving me troubled and mocked. laugh yourselves to death, you gang of carefree, pleasure-seeking gods! i'll see you all perish yet! as long as the gold gleams in the light i shall wait here to take my chance. -and i will defy you to the end! this is the place! stay where you are! this is where i'm to learn fear? you've taken me a long way. -one whole night in the forest it took us to get here. this is the parting of the ways, mime! if i don't learn fear here i shall journey on alone. then i'll be rid of you at last! -listen, my dear boy! if you don't learn fear here and soon you're not likely to learn it anywhere else! do you see that gaping black hole over there? in that cave lives a dreadful dragon. he's horribly fierce and huge. -when he sees you he'll bare his horrible fangs and in one gulp he'll devour you. it'll be a good thing to shut his snout for good. i'll keep out of the way of his fangs. he spits out streams of venom as he goes. get in the way of that death-dealing slobber and your flesh and bones will shrivel! -i'll avoid the deadly slime by attacking him from the side. a tail like a huge serpent flails in his wake. if he gets its coils around you your limbs will shatter like glass! that flailing tail will not harm me if i keep my wits about me. but tell me one thing. -does the dragon have a heart? yes, a black and merciless heart! it beats in his breast, like everyone else's, be they man or beast? oh, yes, my boy, just like everyone else's. is fear beginning to tell? -nothung i shall thrust into his proud heart! does that sound like fear to you? hei, mime! is that the best your wisdom can teach me? if so, then be on your way! -i won't learn fear here. wait and see! you think what i've said is just hot air but once you've seen and heard him your senses will forsake you forthwith! when your sight goes blurred and your knees buckle, when your heart quails in your breast, then you'll thank me for bringing you all this way, then you'll see how much mime loves you. -i don't want you to love me! i told you that, didn't i? get out of my sight! leave me alone! i'll not stay here any more if you start drivelling about love! -this disgusting nodding and blinking! when will i see the back of him, when will i be rid of him at last? all right, i'm going. i'll be down there by the stream. you just wait here. -when the sun is at its highest, watch out for the dragon! that's when he comes lumbering out of his lair. then he passes close by this spot and goes down to the stream to drink. mime, if that's where you're hanging out i think i might just let him pass by. -i won't ram nothung down his gizzard until he's guzzled you down with his drink. so heed my advice! don't hang around by the stream! go away, as far as you can and don't bother to come back! after such a fierce fight you'll need some refreshment. -you won't refuse that from me? and call on me if you need advice or if you find that fear's to your taste! fafner and siegfried, siegfried and fafner, if only they'd kill one another! at least he's not my father. that was a real relief! -now there's nothing to spoil my delight in these woods, my pleasure in the fair light of day. now i'm rid of that foul runt and i'll never clap eyes on him again! what did my father look like? much like myself, i suppose! for if mime had a son somewhere wouldn't he look just like mime? -just as grim and grumpy and grey, small and crooked, misshapen and lame, with hanging ears and bleary eyes. enough of the dwarf! i've had more than my fill of him! but what did my mother look like? i cannot imagine that! -i bet she had eyes like a doe, all lovely and shining but much more beautiful! but when she gave birth to me why did she have to die? do human mothers all die when they've given birth to their sons? that would be sad indeed! -ah, how much this son would give to see his mother! my mother, a mortal woman! what a nice little bird! i've never heard you before. -is this forest your home? if only i could understand your sweet song! perhaps it's trying to tell me something about my dear mother? that surly old dwarf told me once that the language of the birds is something you can learn to understand. but how could i go about it? -well, i'll give it a try. i'll just imitate your song. if i carve this right, it'll sound like you! if i forget the words and listen to the melody i can mimic your voice and then i'll understand what you say. -no sound! he's waiting for me. well, here goes! that doesn't sound right. this pipe is no good to imitate his sweet lay. -woodbird, it looks like i'm not clever enough. it's not easy to learn from you! i stand here shamed by your knowing silence. you wait, but i've nothing to say. oh, well! -then listen to my horn instead. that stupid pipe is no good for the job. i offer you a woodland tune instead, of the cheerful kind i know best. how often i hoped it would win me a friend though no one heard me but wolves and bears. so let's see if i'm luckier this time. -will a good companion answer my call? oho! is this the reward for my efforts? you're a fine comrade, i must say! who is there? -well, if you're an animal that can talk maybe i can learn something from you? here is someone who knows no fear. can you show me what it is? reckless fool! fearless, reckless, call me what you like! -but i'll soon put paid to you if you don't teach me what fear is! i came to drink and now i find food! that's a fine set of teeth you're showing me, all gleaming in your charming face! the time has come to shut your gullet, you've opened it far too wide! it was not made for idle chatter but it's all the better to eat you with! -oho! you're a nasty piece of work! i don't fancy being digested by you! so it seems like the best idea is to finish you off on the spot. come here, boastful boy! -take care, big mouth! the boaster is on his way! that's the end of you! nothung has pierced your heart! who are you, fearless boy? -who has dealt me this blow? who put you up to this deed? who told you to kill me? this thing that you have done was not of your own devising. as yet i do not know much, not even who i am. -but if i have killed you in combat you've only yourself to blame. you bright-eyed boy, unknown to your own self, whom you have killed i shall tell you. of the towering race of giants, fasolt and fafner, the brothers, now they are slain both. -for accursed gold, the reward of the gods, i clubbed fasolt to death. his brother, the dragon that guarded the hoard, fafner, the last of the giants, lies felled by a youthful hero. be on your guard, valiant boy! -he who prompted you to this deed is planning your death! learn from my fate! heed my words! but tell me first where i hail from. -it seems that in death you are wise. hear who i am and tell me! siegfried is my name. siegfried! death has sealed his lips. -then let my living sword be my guide! the blood burns like fire! can it be? i think i can understand the song of the birds! does this come from the blood on my lips? -this rare little bird, what does his song tell me? hei! siegfried has won the nibelungs' hoard! it lies in the cave and is his to command! the magic helmet will serve him for glorious deeds! -but if he finds the ring it will make him lord of the world! thank you, my friend, for your good advice! i shall follow it gladly! where are you slinking in such a hurry, sly wretch? accursed brother, you're the last one i need! -what brings you here? rogue! do you covet my gold? would you steal my hoard? be off! -this is my territory. what are you after? have i queered your pitch? caught you in the act? i have worked hard for this and i won't give it up! -was it you who stole the gold from the rhine? you who cast the spell on the ring? who made the helmet that changes your shape? it served you well! was it your invention? -bungler! what would you have wrought on your own? my magic ring forced you to do as i bade! and where is it now? the giants took it off you! -what you lost i have won by stealth. the boy has prevailed and you call the deed your own? you had no hand in it, the boy did it alone! i brought him up. and now he will pay for my care! -the reward is mine by right! for bringing up a boy, this scabby, miserly wretch has the gall to call himself king? a mangy dog would make better use of the ring than you! the power in that ring will never be yours, you runt! well, keep it then and guard it well, the ring of gold! -you can be king. but remember i'm your brother. give me the magic helmet and i'll let you have the ring. we'll both be content if we share the booty like that. share with you? -and give you the helmet? a cunning ploy! i'd never be safe from your scheming! you refuse to swap? you refuse to share? -no reward for my pains? you would leave me nothing at all? nothing at all! not one flake of the gold will be yours! then ring and helmet are mine! -i'm no longer in sharing mood! i'll set siegfried on you with his sword. he'll soon put paid to you, brother dear! look behind you! he's coming out of the cave! -i bet he's chosen some childish junk! he's got the helmet! and the ring as well! curses! the ring! -go over and tell him it's yours! i'll get it for myself in the end! i am its rightful lord. it will serve me alone! i do not know what use you will be but i took you from the mighty hoard of gold at the woodbird's good advice. -you are the tokens of my exploits today, bear witness that i worsted fafner in the fight though fear i still have not learned! hei! now siegfried has helmet and ring! ah, let him be wary of mime and his treachery! -pay heed to the meaning behind his sly words! you can read the thoughts in mime's evil mind. fafner's blood has given you the power. some inkling he has of the value of what he has won. has a wise wanderer been this way, prowling around, advising the boy with cunning counsel and wiles? -then i must be doubly cunning. now is the time for my subtlest snare. with fawning flattery i must win the trust of the foolish, obstinate boy. welcome, siegfried! -tell me, bold warrior, have you learned what fear is now? there was no one here to teach me! but the dragon, you slew him in the fight? he was a nasty customer, wasn't he? fierce and cruel as he was -i almost regret his death when there are much worse villains walking around unscathed! the one who egged me on to fight him is more hateful to me than the dragon! gently does it! you won't see me much longer. soon i shall close your eyes for ever! -you've done what i brought you here to do. all i need to do now is get the gold off you. i should be able to manage that! you're easy to fool after all! so you are seeking to harm me? -that's not what i said! siegfried! listen to me, my boy! you and your kind i have always loathed with all my heart. it wasn't for love that i brought you up, -i did it for the treasure in fafner's keeping, for the gold he guarded here. and if you won't give it me of your own free will, siegfried, my boy, as i'm sure you'll agree, then you must pay for it with your life! you hate me, do you? that's fine! -but you're after my life as well? but i never said that! you've got the wrong end of the stick! look, you're tired after your exertions. i'm sure you're parched and dry. -a drink will refresh you, i made it myself to restore you after the fight. i brewed it when you were making your sword. drink it now and your fine sword is mine, and helmet and gold into the bargain! so that's what you're after, my sword and my spoils, the ring and the rest of the hoard? how can you be so obtuse? -am i talking in riddles, or what? i'm doing the very best i can to hide my deepest desires and you're so stupid you understand it all wrong! prick up your ears and hear what i say! this is what mime means! take this and let it restore you. -i have often refreshed you before. though you acted surly and behaved like a brat the drinks i made you you always took, with never a word of thanks. a good drink would be welcome indeed! how did you make this? aw, just drink it. -trust to my skill! soon your senses will sink into deep, dark night, your limbs will be splayed, your mind will go blank. as you lie in stupor, i could easily grab the gold and run. but once you awoke i'd never be safe from you, not even with the ring. -so i'll take the sword that you made so sharp and cut off your head instead. then i can sleep easy. and i'll have the ring! so you're going to kill me in my sleep? what did you say? -what makes you think that? all i want is to cut off your head! for if i didn't hate you like i do, if i didn't have so many insults and troubles to avenge myself for, i'd still have no choice, i'd still have to bump you off. how else could i be sure of grabbing the gold, with alberich after it, too? -well, my wälsung, son of the wolves, now drink, and choke to death! it's the last drop you'll ever drain! taste the blade of my sword, vile prattler! nothung pays you out for your pains! it was for this that i forged it. -lie here on the gold, in fafner's lair! with dogged persistence you schemed for the prize. now it's yours to command. i've even got a good watchdog to protect you from robbers and thieves. join him here, dread dragon! -keep watch on the hoard with the foe who craved it for his own! now both of you have got what you wanted! i am hot from my arduous labours! my fiery blood courses through my veins, my hand burns on my brow. -the sun stands high in the sky. it glares from the blue and beats right down on my head. i shall rest in the shade of that lime tree. once again, dear little woodbird, now that peace is restored, i would gladly hear your song. -i see you swaying on that branch. your brothers and sisters flutter around, what a merry band you are! but i am all alone, i have no brothers or sisters. my mother died, my father fell, -their son never saw them! my only companion was an evil dwarf, there was no love lost between us. he was plotting foul schemes to undo me. in the end it was him or me! dear little woodbird, -i ask you now: do you have a companion for me? will you advise me what to do? in vain i have sought but nothing came of my efforts. you, my friend, can do better than that. -your advice has always been right. so sing! i shall heed what you say. hei! siegfried has killed the evil dwarf! -now i can show him a glorious bride. high on a rock she waits, asleep. a great fire burns all around. if he strode through the flames and woke his bride, brünnhilde would then be his! -o wondrous song! sweet tidings! joyful anguish sears my heart! it leaps up, inflamed with delight! what assails my heart, what fires my senses? -tell me, dear friend, what it is! the sweet sorrow of love is my song. despairing delight is my argument. only lovers know its meaning. the joy that awaits me drives me from here, away from the woods to the rock. -but tell me one thing, my dear, sweet friend, will i find my way through the fire? can i wake my bride? no coward can win brünnhilde for his bride. only he who knows no fear! -the unthinking boy who knows no fear, my friend, you see before you! today i strove once more in vain to find out what it is from fafner. now i burn with longing to learn it from brünnhilde! but how can i find my way to the rock? ah, you'll guide me? -then lead on! i'll follow wherever you take me! awake, erda! erda! awake! -from the depths of sleep i summon you. hear my call! arise! from the mists of time, from eternal night, arise! erda! -eternal woman! from the depths where you dwell rise up to me! hear my incantation! hear it and awake! from slumber and dreams i rouse you. -omniscient one! wisest of all! erda! eternal woman! awake, erda, awake! -awake! urgent is the summons, mighty the power of the spell. i have awoken from knowing slumber. who has roused me from sleep? -i am your summoner, and the spells i cast arouse all those locked in sound sleep. i have travelled the world and wandered afar to hear what you say, to win your wise counsel. there is no one wiser than you. you know the secrets of the deeps, the spirit that pervades hill and dale, air and water. where life is found, your breath inspires it, where minds are at work, your knowledge resides. -they say there is nothing unknown to you. to profit from your wisdom i have wakened you from sleep! my sleep is dreaming, my dreams are wisdom, my wisdom the power of truth. -but when i sleep the norns keep watch. they spin the yarn, they spin it to tell what i know. why do you not ask the norns? the norns obey the laws of the world, they can alter nothing, for better or worse. but in your wisdom you could advise me how to halt the progress of things! -the deeds of men cloud my thoughts. much though i know, a god once bent me to his will. a glorious maiden i bore to wotan. the choice of heroes she made on his behalf. bold she is, and wise to boot. -why do you wake me and why don't you ask erda and wotan's child? you mean the valkyrie? brünnhilde, the maiden? she defied me, the master of storms, when i mastered my own dearest wish. -fain would i have turned the course of the fight but i resisted, against my own will! in her defiance she went too far and took it upon herself to intervene in the fray. wotan punished the maid. he closed her eyes in sleep. she is locked in slumber on the rock. -when she awakes it will be for love of a man who claims her as his wife. what good would it do to ask her? how confused things appear since i awoke! the world whirls wild and mad! the valkyrie, erda's child, was locked in the bonds of sleep while her wise mother slept? -he who taught defiance punishes defiance? he who prompted the deed is angered by the deed? he who guards what is right and watches over all oaths, he shuns what is right and rules by falsehood? let me return to the depths! -let my wisdom be steeped in sleep! you cannot escape from me. i have the power to hold you. with your wisdom you once sowed doubt in wotan's adventurous heart. his dread of decline and defeat was the fruit of your knowledge, his courage was dulled by fear. -if you are the wisest of all women, then tell me now: how can the god conquer his doubts? you are not what you pretend to be! what has brought you here, stubborn and wild, to disturb erda's sleep? you are not what you think you are! -this is the end of your age-old wisdom! your knowledge crumbles in the face of my will. do you know what wotan desires? you cannot, and therefore i'll tell you, then you can sleep in peace for all time! i do not fear the demise of the gods, since i have no other desire! -what once i resolved in searing anguish, the decision born of despair, freely and gladly i shall now see it done. in wrathful loathing i discarded the world for the nibelung. but now the valiant wälsung shall inherit all that is mine. my chosen heir, though he knows me not, that valiant boy, unaided by me, has won the nibelung's ring. rejoicing in love, untainted by hate, -alberich's curse is powerless to harm him, for he is not acquainted with fear. the maid you bore me, brünnhilde, will be his when he wakes her from sleep. and once awakened, your child in her wisdom will redeem the world from its plight. so sleep once more, close your eyes! witness my end in your dreams! -whatever may come, to eternal youth the god will gladly yield. descend then, erda! mother of fear! sorrow of the world! away! -to everlasting sleep! i see siegfried approaching. the woodbird went winging away! fluttering before me with his merry songs he guided me here to this spot. now he leaves me to fend for myself. -it's up to me to find the rock. this far i came with his help. the rest i can do on my own. where are you headed for, my boy? a voice close by! -perhaps it will tell me the way. i'm in search of a rock ringed by fiery flames. on that rock is a maiden asleep, and i intend to wake her. who told you to search for the rock? who bade you yearn for the woman? -the song of a woodbird told me of these things. i gladly did as it said. birdsong is idle chatter. no one can say what it means. how could you make sense of the song? -by tasting the blood of a fierce dragon. i slew him outside his lair. with the first drop of blood that touched my tongue i could tell what the birds were singing. you slew the giant? -at whose behest did you challenge the fearsome dragon? that was mime, a treacherous dwarf. he promised to help me learn fear. but to plunge my weapon into his heart was provoked by the dragon himself. he bared his fangs at me. -who made the blade so keen and true that could fell such a fearsome foe? i made it myself. the job was too hard for the smith. otherwise i'd still be unarmed. but who forged the mighty pieces you joined to make the sword? -how do i know? all i know is that the pieces alone were useless, so i forged the sword myself. yes, you certainly did! what's so funny? old man, -i'm sick of your questions! i can't chat with you here all day! if you can tell me the way, then say so. if you can't, just shut your mouth! patience, my boy! -if you think me old you should have more respect. you must be joking! all my life, there was an old man getting in my way. now i've got rid of him for good. if you bar my way any longer be careful you don't get the same treatment as mime! -why do you look so funny? why are you wearing that hat? why is it pulled down over your face? all wanderers do that when the wind is blowing in their face. it's to hide that eye you've lost! -i bet someone punched it out of your head because you got in his way. now take yourself off, or else you might lose the other one as well! you may not know what you're talking about but you're never at a loss. by the light of the eye that i lost of the two you yourself see the one that looks at you now. -oh, yes! very good! very funny! but look. i've no more time to be chatting to you. -just show me the way, double quick, then get on your way yourself! you're no good for anything else so give me an answer or i'll give you a swipe! if you knew who i am, audacious boy, you would spare me such insults! beloved as you are, your jibes cause me pain and distress. -the race you spring from is dear to my heart but my anger, once roused, struck dread in their hearts. so, though i delight in you, glorious boy, do not rouse me to wrath! it would destroy you and me! will you shut your mouth, you obstinate fool? -get out of my way, for this path will lead me to the rock where the woman lies asleep! the woodbird told me as much before it suddenly flew away. it flew away to save its life! it knew that the lord of the ravens was here, what would happen if they caught up with it! i forbid you to follow the path it showed you! -oho! forbid me, would you? what gives you the right to tell me what to do? fear the guardian of the rock! the sleeping maiden is under my spell! -he who awakes her and wins her for himself would undo my power for ever! a wall of fire surrounds the maid, fiery flames girdle the rock. to win her as your bride you must make your way through the fire. look there, on the heights! do you not see that glow? -the flames will rear, the blaze will engorge you, clouds of searing smoke, tongues of flickering fire will descend on you, crackling and burning. a sea of light will encircle your head, searing fire will consume your limbs. so desist, foolhardy youth! desist yourself, you braggart! that fire shows me the way i must go to find brünnhilde! -if fear of the fire will not stop you my spear will bar your way! this token of power is still mine to wield, the sword in your hands once shattered on its shaft. it will break once again when it strikes the eternal spear! my father's foe! have i found you here? -sweet revenge is mine at last! brandish your spear! my sword will split it in two! go your ways! i cannot stop you! -with his spear shattered, the coward has made good his escape! ah! delightful glow! magnificent blaze! bathed in its light, my road beckons to me! -i shall revel in that fire! in that fire i shall find my bride! now i shall be alone no more! blissful silence drenched by the sun! what is that at rest over there in the shade? -it's a horse, resting in deep slumber! what is that gleaming here? shining steel, shimmering in the light? are my eyes still dazzled by the fire? the flash of weapons! -shall i pick them up? ha! a man, in full armour! how the sight uplifts my heart! shall i free his noble head from the helmet? -he would rest more easily without his headgear. ah! what beauty! shimmering clouds come cascading down around his glorious face! the shining sun of his radiant features streams out through the clouds that frame it! -his breast rises and falls with each breath. should i take off the close-fitting garment? come, sword, and cut through the clasps! this is no man! searing enchantment grips my heart! -holy terror dims my eyes! my thoughts are numbed and dazed! who can i call to, who will aid me? mother! mother! -remember me! how can i waken the maid, bring her to open her eyes? but what if she did? would her gaze not blind me? will my courage suffice? -could i stand such dazzling light? i'm confounded and dazed, my head is whirling! searing longing cripples my senses. my heart quails, my hand trembles! why do i shrink back? -is this fear? ah, mother! your courageous boy! a woman lies here asleep. she has taught him what fear is! -how can i conquer this fear? revive my courage? if i am to rouse myself then this maid must rouse me first! how sweetly they tremble, her fulsome lips! how timid they make me, what enchantment is theirs! -ah, the heady scent of her fragrant breath! awake! hallowed maid! she does not hear me. then let me suck life from these sweetest of lips, -though my heart should give out! hail, bright sun! hail to your beams! hail, glorious light of day! long i have slept but now i wake. -what hero is this who has roused me? i strode through the fire that burnt round the rock. i undid the clasps of your helmet. siegfried i am, i have ended your sleep. -hail to you, gods! hail to you, world! hail to you, glorious earth! i sleep no more, and awake, i see siegfried. he it is who has woken me! -hail to the mother who bore me! hail to the mother who bore you! hail to the earth where i thrived! hail to the earth where you thrived! for now at last i see these eyes -your eyes alone could behold me, that smile on me in my bliss! you alone could rouse me from sleep! o siegfried! siegfried! -blessed hero! you have roused me to life, all-conquering light! ah, if only you knew, joy of the world, how i have always loved you! my thoughts turned on you, and my cares! i nurtured you before you were conceived. -before you were born my shield protected you. this long you have been my love, siegfried! then my mother did not die? she was asleep the whole time? -ah, innocent youth! your mother will not return. we are one and the same if you grant me the bliss of your love. what you do not know, i know for you. but i only know what i know because i love you! -o siegfried! siegfried! all-conquering light! i have always loved you. for wotan's design was mine alone to accomplish. -the design that i durst not call by name, the design i did not conceive of but only felt, the design i fought for, battled for, strove for, the design i upheld in defiance of its author, the design i atoned for when my punishment came, because it was not in my mind but in my heart alone! for that design, ah, tell me you know it, was nothing but my love for you! -what wonders are these that you tell me of? their meaning i cannot grasp. i see your eyes shining bright, i feel the warm scent of your breath, i hear your sweet voice and the song it sings, but what you say to me as you sing, these marvels i cannot fathom. -i cannot make sense of such things long gone when all my senses only see and feel your presence! in awe of you i stand amazed. you alone have taught me the meaning of fear. free my valour of your powerful bonds, give me my courage again! there i see grane, my trusty steed. -how blithely he grazes where he slept so long! like me, siegfried has roused him too. my eyes feast on your divine lips. but my own lips are parched! how they yearn to share in the feast and be stilled! -there i see the shield that protected heroes. there i see the helmet that covered my head. they shield and protect me no more! a heavenly maiden has seared my heart, my head reels from the wounds dealt me by a woman. i came without shield and helmet! -there lies my breastplate of shining steel, a keen blade cut it in two. my maidenly body has lost its defence. i am stripped of protection, disarmed, a despondent woman! i strode through the flames to be at your side! no armour protected my body. -now those flames are kindled here in my heart, my blood is a torrent of fire in my veins, ablaze with the desire that consumes me. the fire that burned around brünnhilde's rock is burning now in my breast! o maid! quench those flames! still the searing blaze! -no god has ever approached me! the maiden struck awe in the hearts of the heroes, pure as a saint she left valhalla's halls! woe! dreadful disgrace, humiliation, despair! -i am bloodied by him who woke me from sleep! he has pierced my maidenly armour. brünnhilde i am no more! to me you are still the dreaming maid. brünnhilde's sleep has not yielded to me. -awake, be mine in love! my senses are reeling, my wisdom is mute. is it no longer mine to command? did you not say that your wisdom was nothing but your love for me? doleful darkness dims my eyes. -my vision fails me, the light is spent. night falls all around me. from darkness and dread nameless fear clutches at my heart! horror rears up to engulf me! unbind your eyes and the darkness will yield! -that nameless horror is banished by the light of day! break forth from the dark and behold! the day shines bright in the sun! bright day shines down on my shame! o siegfried! -behold my anguish! immortal i was, immortal i am, immortal in sweet, yearning joy, but immortal for your sake alone! o siegfried! magnificent saviour of the world! -life of the earth! joyous hero! leave me, leave me as i am! spare me your ardour, the rage of your love! do not make me succumb to your forceful embrace. -if you love me, then leave me unharmed! you have seen your image in the stream? did it gladden your heart as you looked? but if you troubled the waters the cool, clear mirror of the surface was shattered. you no longer saw yourself. -all you saw was the churning water! so leave me untouched and sully me not! then your image will smile back from my eyes and gladden you ever, bold and lusty, a hero! o siegfried! resplendent youth! -love yourself and let me be! do not destroy what is your own! i love you. if only you loved me! i am my own no more. -if only you were mine! magnificent waters well up before me. with all my senses i see one thing, the ripple and surge of the waves. they have shattered my image and now i burn to cool the searing fire in the flood. just as i am, i leap into the stream, longing for its waters to engulf me in rapture, -to douse my longing in the flood! awake! awake to me, maiden! laugh and live, sweetest delight! be mine! -be mine! be mine! o siegfried! i have always been yours! if you've always been mine, then be mine now! -i shall be yours for ever! what you shall be, be for me now! when my arms enfold you and embrace you tightly, when my heart beats wildly against yours, when our eyes alight and our breath comes short, eye to eye, mouth to mouth, then for me you are what you have been and will be! then my tortured mind would be at rest. -then i'd know that brünnhilde is mine! you ask me if i am yours? godly composure has yielded to frenzy, virginal light flames up all ablaze, divine wisdom is caught up in the storm, the joy of love has put it to flight! you ask me if i am yours? siegfried! -siegfried! can you not see? my eyes devour you, are you not blinded? my arms enfold you, does my ardour not consume you? my blood surges toward you like waves of fire, do you not feel it burn? -do you not fear me, siegfried, do you not fear the wild passion of this woman? ah! in the fire that consumes our blood, in the searing ardour of our eyes, in the rapture of our passionate embrace, my courage is restored all at once and that fear i had not known before, that fear you had just begun to teach me, that fear, i do believe, has left me as quick as it came! o youthful hero! -glorious boy! unheeding doer of wondrous deeds! in joy i must love you, in joy that will blind me, in joy that announces my end! in joy you awaken to me at last. farewell, valhalla, bright world! -brünnhilde lives! let the mighty fortress crumble! brünnhilde lives in joy! hail to the day that shines all around! farewell, proud splendour of the gods! -hail to the sun that gives us its light! rejoice in your decline, immortal race! hail to the light that shines forth from the dark! snap the thread of the runes, you norns! hail, world! -brünnhilde lives! the end of the gods is nigh! she wakes and lives and laughs with me! night of destruction, fall! -brünnhilde's star shines on me! siegfried's star shines on me! she is mine for ever, herself and my own, my one and all! he is mine for ever, himself and my own, my one and all! radiant love, joyful death! -radiant love, joyful death! radiant love, joyful death! i hope you're going to invite me into the house. it's devilish cold to be lingering out here. -no? have it your own way. let's conclude our business as quickly as possible. do you have it? mr. blakeney... -oh mr. blakeney. i appeal to you. think what you're doing. have compassion, for god's sake. compassion's for those who can afford it. -then think of the man you're destroying. oh, i am. that's why i'm smiling. sir richard morton is... is a pimp and a wastrel. -not that dissimilar to me. he is a philanthropist who is making a huge difference to women. it's his money that's doing that, and you want it as much as me. i haven't come here to argue with you, mr. merrick, i've come to be paid. if you'll do so, that'll be an end to it. -very well. it seems you leave me with no choice. quite. bury him in the garden. not too near the house. -stop! stop! what's up? bones down there. bloody hell, what's that? -want some wine? please. you're not working? memo from queen street. don't they ever sleep? -what happened to you last night, on that subject? another nightmare? i'm sorry. did i wake you up? no. -i haven't been myself since they dug up that thing. had any press people onto you? no. some woman called. if she tries to speak to you, don't. -i don't want some bloody stupid tabloid headline about skeletons in the closet. right. you know i never wanted that dog. i know you didn't want a dog. but it wasn't him. -i was only out of the room for a few minutes. it was piping hot. he couldn't have eaten it in that time. then... then who was it? he's never done it before. -i'm sorry. hey, it doesn't matter. er... don't... not tonight, er... i've got a big day tomorrow. -oh, that's interesting. what? you were talking about our friend in the garden. the skeleton. the police have pulled their finger out and identified him. -he has a name. go on. george james blakeney. how do they know that? it was inscribed on his watch. -george blakeney. i know that name. bones date back to the 19th century. cause of death was... sword wound in the back. you mean he was murdered. -i didn't say that. buried in the garden it could have been a duel. stabbed in the back? well, it's got nothing to do with us, thank god. -oh, they say we can have the watch back. gold-plated gentleman's pocket watch. it's on our land, so it's our property. i don't want it. here we are. -george blakeney. he was a poet, 19th century. not well known. we put him in "closing lines". what was that? -an anthology of last works. what a grim idea. hm. it didn't sell. his last poem was called "to a child". -here. "evil can make good let none forget "out of my love i see my future set "she who is mine now gives to me eternal hope in this, your infancy." 1882. -they actually dug him up in your garden? laying pipes. liz? ella? spring conference. -we launch with the new christian taylor. ella, figures on the last one? we're still doing 2,000 a week. we're also fine for cookery. sarah's doing a separate presentation on children's, which leaves biography. -liz? just gone to galleys. did you come up with a new title? no. matthew's happy with the old one. -what's that? "the other realm". sounds like a bad film. talk to him. there's no point. -we could call it "200 pages of crap" and it would still sell. i see you're as enthusiastic as ever. you won, but doesn't mean i have to like it. is there a cover? yes. -art department's first thoughts. sorry. that's for you, david... what do you think? that's my favourite... -please! no! no! no! please... -please... no! daniel. please, no! daniel. there's someone downstairs. -no, there isn't. it's ok, toby. on your bed. go on. come on. -on your bed, toby. good boy. toby? jean, can i...? sorry. -can i just get that? thank you. sorry. that dog's got to go. i told you, it wasn't toby. -of course it's the bloody dog, lizzie. what else could it be? christ, i'll miss my train. when are you back? er... -wednesday. i don't really want to be here on my own. well, then, go to your mother's. i don't know. you're being absurd. -thank you. sir... there's a good boy. good boy. don't make a mess. -i've finished, mrs. morton. oh. thank you, jean. now, i won't be in next week. that's right. -have a nice holiday. oh, thanks. thank you. ok, bye. hello. -hello. i must say, i was... i was a little surprised to get your call. come in. no, why don't we go for a walk round? -you needed my help, but not with the book. no. the book's fine. i saw the artwork. "britain's most talked-about medium". -was that your line? marketing. you know what they actually say? they say i'm full of shit. is that what you think? -no. we've never really talked about my work. that's not true. you make suggestions, changes. i like working with you. -but you don't believe a word of it. why do you think i asked you here? because... this is where they found it. yes. -why don't you tell me what you want me to do? it began when the skeleton was unearthed. george blakeney. since then, i... oh, i can't explain it, really. -i... i've been having nightmares. i haven't had nightmares since i was a little girl. and... there have been noises. like a... -like a woman crying. and scratching sounds. coming from where? upstairs. and there's more. -things have been... disappearing from the kitchen. and last night the fridge emptied itself onto the floor. daniel is convinced it was toby. our dog. -but... that's not possible. i'd have heard him. how long have you lived here? two years. it was in daniel's family generations ago. -are you sure the voice you heard was... was a woman? the skeleton was male. yes. i'm sure. show me where the noises came from. -it seems so unlikely. the haunted bathroom. it probably wasn't a bathroom in those days. they didn't really pipe water up to the second floor then. i'd guess it was a... another bedroom. -not even a window. mind taking this panel off? no. why? i'd just like to see what's underneath, that's all. -oh! don't close it, it sticks. that's sir richard morton. daniel's ancestor. what do you know about him? -he was very rich. he was a politician. he founded a hospital. st. alba's. so. -you asked for my help. let's start with the obvious. you're living in a haunted house, but don't believe in ghosts. i never said that. i can tell you find the idea ridiculous. -that's not true. it's all right. i'm used to it. look. let me put this as simply as i can. -there was a murder here and the murder has left a memory. here, in the house. it's everywhere. it's in the air, it's in the brickwork. i can feel it and so can you. -there's a sense of a sort of... unforgotten evil. you said in your book that a haunted house is trying to tell you something. hm. so you're only getting an echo. you have to understand what happened then to deal with it now. -so what do you think we should do? it was his house. i suggest we start with him. the hospital was founded in 1882, one of the first women's hospitals. it was founded by a richard morton? -he paid for it. or at least, put in £10,000. which was a small fortune back then. but the founder was the first director. a man called charles merrick. -after morton disappeared, he raised the rest by public subscription. disappeared? well, he went to france or something. he, erm... had a political career which ended and he resigned from the hospital board. a ward's named after him. -the morton ward. psychiatric. it's marvellous, merrick. three wards up and running. and the laundry and dining room. -we're painting, not distempering. oh, yes? more hygienic. ah. oh! -look here, sir richard. smell these. ah. erm... oh. -eucalyptus? well, they're filled with pine shavings soaked in eucalyptus oil. an idea we imported from the continent. to help the women sleep? no, again, it is a question of hygiene. -i hope to start soon on the maternity wards. i suppose it'll mean another subscription. i hope you're not looking at me. are you, merrick? well, if you could get us started... -oh, yes. one day someone will realise that health should not be left to subscription. where do you find these young women? the nurses? they come from the training hospitals. -the nightingale schools. and what are you doing, my dear? oh! i'm sorry, sir, you startled me. allow me. -you're a nurse here? a probationer. they let me help out on the wards. do they indeed? and how old are you? -i'm 23, sir. i just spent a year at st. thomas'. oh, yes. i know it well. well. -there you are. no damage done, i hope. no, sir. er... sir richard? -just a minute, merrick. what made you want to become a nurse? it was my mother, sir. my late mother. she always said that a sick body is a soul close to salvation. -she said it was god's work. tell me your name. eloise duvall. she was his second wife. his first wife died two years before. -it was quite surprising. why? well, she was young enough to be his daughter, but there was also the class difference. a probationer in the 19th century would have been lower middle-class. not suitable for a baronet. -a real fairy story? mm. not really. she died a short while later. oh? -what of? illness. erm... smallpox or tuberculosis. these should tell you. -thanks. thank you, that's great. your husband is daniel morton, isn't he? yes. a minister? -no. he's just an adviser. hm. griffin's pharmaceuticals. yes, that's his company. -he must find it hard, balancing selling products to hospitals and advising on how they should be run. he's, er... put his commercial interests on hold. really? mm. thank you. -goodbye. bye. sir richard morton travelled to paris in 1882, visiting the école normale supérieure and meeting pasteur. ah. mm. -when he returned five weeks later, his second wife eloise was dead from typhoid. he didn't marry again. eloise must have been ill already when he left. what makes you say that? five weeks... -why didn't he come back sooner? you're getting obsessive about all this. will you come back if i get ill? it's two nights. i wish you weren't going. -it's important. why? 1,000 people a year go to france for treatment. which they can't get here. funny, isn't it? -your great-grandfather meeting louis pasteur, trying to keep up with the french, and 120 years later you're doing the same thing. are you trying to start an argument? no. i... just don't want to be left here alone. put the alarm on. -it's not that. you're not still going on about... i never thought you were so credulous. i know what i saw. what? -food disappeared it wasn't like that. we've lived in this house for two years without anything ever... and i wish you hadn't had that man here. what man? -the... medium, or whatever. his name is matthew hopkins. why shouldn't i invite him? i'm his editor. that's not why he was here. -if it gets about we had a psychic in, it might be very embarrassing. for who? for me. daniel. ah, you wait and see. -i bet he won't be slow tipping a wink to the press. these people aren't exactly publicity-shy. matthew's not like that. god. you're not telling me you believe in him? -why not? you told me a hundred times his book was a pile of shit, which it is. did i? you know very well. well, at least he's trying to help. -there's my car. back on tuesday. try to call. it was her. eloise duvall? -i'm sure of it. she looked so ill. typhoid. that was what killed her. what did daniel say? -he doesn't know. i... i... i called him at the pavillon de la reine in paris, where he always stays, but he never checked in. i don't know where he is. -oh, i... i hate this house. i hated it from the first moment i saw it, but daniel wouldn't listen. he... read about tye hall and it was going for a song. i'm... -i'm sorry, matthew. it's all right. we found it with some junk in the attic. it somehow got left behind. must be worth something. -a few thousand. daniel had it valued, but he won't sell it. it looks like him. think he'd mind if we took it down? why? -i don't know. there's something about the way it's been painted i don't understand. that's sir richard morton and that... that must be the garden of this house, as it was then. why isn't he standing in the middle? what do you want to do? -i'd like to get it x-rayed. just a feeling. what you said last time, you were right. i've always been a bit sceptical about the supernatural. look, do you really think i wanted to grow up as a cross between uri geller and doris stokes? -well, why do you do it? 'cause i have to. you've read the book. by the time i was eight years old i was having premonitions. there was my sister's death, my mother... -i was sensitive, you know, so... in the end, it seemed sensible to make a living out of it. at least it pays well, right? yes. listen, do you want to, erm... go in, and i'll get someone to come and strip that door? -what else do you know about eloise duvall? eloise? eloise? catch me! there you are! -you're out of breath! oh, so i'm too old for chasing pretty women? maybe you should only chase ugly ones. maybe they're the ones i'm hiding from. maybe they're the ones who chase you. -mm... this is such a beautiful place. i used to dream of being mistress in a house like this. ambitious. no. -not ambition. it was more of a dream, really. make-believe. did you live here with your wife? yes. -emily? that was her name. was she very beautiful? oh, yes. until she became ill. -died of cholera two years ago. that's how i became involved in the hospital. you must miss her very much. let's not talk of her, my dear. i miss her less when you are here. -is that true? very much so. merrick's here. what's the matter? nothing. -tell me. i don't think mr. merrick likes me very much. nonsense. it's true. he wants me to leave the hospital. -well, of course you'll leave the hospital. i have other plans for you. so don't you worry about mr. merrick. he's after me money, so he'll do as i say. now, i have to go in. -you wait for me here. i have a little surprise for you. morning, merrick. sir richard. shall we get started? -indeed, sir. have you brought the plans? morton. here you are. eloise morton. -this is her death certificate. i read she died of typhoid. is that true? that's what it says here. typhoid fever. 10 october 1882. -it's signed "charles merrick". he would have filled out the medical certificate as the doctor in attendance. what about this one? that's the informant. i'm sorry? -an informant arranges the funeral. in most cases, it would be the deceased's husband. not in this case. it's signed george blakeney. see you later, rose. -all right, duck. merrick was director of st. alba's hospital. what was he doing signing the death certificate? he'd probably had medical training. perhaps he, er... perhaps he'd looked after eloise when she was ill... -thank you. what about blakeney as...? informant. i know. that's strange, isn't it? -how did he know eloise? unless... they were having an affair. they'd only been married a few weeks, you know. she was a working-class girl marrying into wealth. it seems a bit early to be having an affair. -when i rang you, i thought... you thought what? oh, i don't know. go on. thank you. -you'd... be able to talk to her. you can't talk to ghosts. ghosts don't listen. but you can follow them. you can follow their energy and go where it leads you. -and where is eloise leading you? she's led me to you. good evening, madam. we should order. may i? -ah, champagne for me and my friend. you're not being serious. we're celebrating. sir richard, please. listen to me. -you can't marry this girl. why not? you hardly know anything about her. i know she is from a respectable family in crystal palace. her father was a joiner. -came to london and lived in humble but clean lodgings, and worked to become a nurse. have you investigated her? of course! i just worry that... some of your... visits to london, some of your... nocturnal outings could have made you the target for any unscrupulous... nocturnal outings? -what are you talking about? sir richard... anyway, the wedding's arranged. when? two weeks. -at the house? yes. it'll be a quiet affair, followed by a small dinner party. you're invited. oh, for heaven's sake, man, cheer up. -you'll turn the champagne sour. come along and meet my girl! i've been waiting for you. you comfortable as a matter of fact, i am. -it's all right for some i've been very industrious, if you want to know. i've written a poem. a whole poem? well, that'll get us far. -it's for you. the days are long gone when you could get round me with a poem. you in a bad mood? not really. he's asked me to marry him. -my betrothal ring. solid gold with a big fat diamond. used to belong to his wife. why didn't you tell me? i just did. -he wants you to marry him? a fortnight from now. you... are wonderful. this alone must be worth £100, £200... look at the size of that! -hands off! you're not selling it. yet. i think he'd notice if i wasn't wearing it. what did i tell you? -morton's notorious. snuffling with his snout up the petticoats of piccadilly. didn't work with the other two, did it? i said it was only a matter of time before we'd hook one. i feel sorry for him. -he's just a lonely old man with a dead wife. lonely rich man... with his brains in his breeches. when will you go to him? on the wedding night. he won't lay a hand on you before then. -oh, i wouldn't say that. he's frisky as a goat. then you can tell him to keep his distance... until he's seen me. and then? and then we take him for everything he's got. -it's dated 1882 and the style is right, but the garden has been added later, by another hand. how can you tell? from the direction of the brush strokes. how much later was it added? hard to say without pigment analysis. -but at a guess, i'd say quite a few years. you only have to look at the colours. what about the garden? what's underneath there, d'you think? i'll show you. -there's often more to see beneath the surface. it's what i thought. this was a double portrait. what are those lines across the face? a tear in the canvas. -damn you! it must have been deliberate. someone's run a knife right through it. and then? it's been repaired, restored and overpainted. -my guess is someone simply found it and decided to rehang it. but without eloise. yes. i wonder why. she's very pretty. -there you are. looks like a wild animal's got trapped in here. look at these marks. watch out for this lock as well. it's been like that for years. -hello, lizzie? hello? up here. what did you do to it? long story. -how was paris? and the pavillon? same as ever. you know i wasn't there. i called. -ah. so? are you going to tell me? tell you what? where you were. -who you were with. what makes you think i was with anyone? come on, daniel. let's be grown-up about this. are you seeing someone? -yes. sorry. are you? sorry it happened like this. i was going to tell you. -i want a divorce. just like that? no, this has been going on for... i meant to tell you five or six times, but... you were scared, you didn't want to hurt me. -why didn't you tell me, daniel? i wasn't sure. but you are now. no. we're not happy together. -that's true. who is it, by the way? you really want to know? is it anyone i know? karen. -god. that bitch. queen street. well... this is very new labour, i must say oh, god... -lizzie, she works for me! it just happened! where's the picture? is that all you're worried about? what i'll take -i hoped we could do this amicably. and quietly oh, lizzie. sell your house. i never wanted to live here. -i intend to. really? it's been valued at £2 million. i thought you loved it here. karen doesn't. -she's been here? ! once. and no, we didn't go upstairs. she said it had an atmosphere. -well, she's right there. lizzie, look, i know you won't believe me, but i'm genuinely sorry. i'm sorry to hurt you. i'm sorry that our marriage... we're lucky we don't have children. -does karen mind not having a family? we plan to adopt. mm, you've been planning a lot. i haven't unpacked yet. i might as well go. -where? she has a flat. this is my fault, not yours. you know, i had more or less reached the same conclusion myself. we will talk, won't we? -we don't have to do this just through solicitors. i'll be in touch. "evil can make good let none forget "out of my love i see my future set "she who is mine now gives to me -"eternal hope in this... your infancy." of course. of course. hello? liz, it's me. -it's matthew. look, are you alone? yes. i think i may have found out what happened 120 years ago. once again you take us all by surprise, richard. -this all happened very quickly. well, at my age, you have to learn to grasp the horse by the neck. er... i understand you're a poet. i have been called that. -a friend of lady morton? oh, i'm much more than that. oh? we're cousins. ah. -toast! ladies and gentlemen, a toast! to my lovely young bride. she once told me it was her dream to be mistress of a house such as this and a man such as myself. hello. -hello. lady eloise morton. lady eloise morton! could i have a word, sir richard? what? -in private. er... excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. this had better be damn good. i felt it the first time i came here. murder... hanging in the air. -it's still part of the house. you said you know what happened. yeah. it was the poem that gave it to me. the last poem blakeney wrote. -"to a child". look, erm... i really don't know where to start. it's, erm... eloise duvall... she was a fake. -well... if she wasn't a nurse, then what was she? a liar. a thief. a prostitute. a woman of the worst kind. -damn you! she only joined st. alba's in order to meet you. everything else she has told you about herself and her family is a lie! you investigated her? i hardly needed to. -she and her partner are notorious. her partner? george blakeney. he calls himself a poet, but he is a criminal, a rogue. a man of the lowest sort. -the two of them are married. what? i'm sorry. married? yes, sir. -well, then... then my marriage to her is... is invalid. you may as well know that she is also expecting his child. a child? then she's not a... -but why? what does she want? i rather think you'll want to speak to me. blackmail. blackmail, embezzlement, fraud. -blakeney had spent two years in jail back in the 1870s. and when the news got out about eloise... morton would have been a laughing-stock. he'd have had to retire from public life. so they wanted him to pay them off. -mm-hm. well, that must have been the idea. but in the end... he chose not to. i don't know what to do. i'll be a laughing-stock! -the whole town will be laughing at me! i'll pay 'em. eh? all they want is money. i'll pay 'em. -pay them now, they'll come back for more. bitch. she lied to me. everything she said was a lie! she stinks of the sewers, of rotten row! -if you hadn't visited those places, this might never have happened. how dare you? you can't pay them. maybe you could silence them. how? -there is a way. well, tell me. please, merrick, i don't know what to do! you have to trust me. of course i trust you! -what do you plan? merrick. sir richard, there are people i know. people i've met through the hospital. what are you suggesting? -you were planning a visit to paris. she was going to come with me. go alone. you're going to...? no. -no, you're a doctor. the hospital, everything you do is... is to save life. the hospital is all i care about. all i care about. the new subscription, the new wing that's still to be built... -a scandal like this could add years to the time it takes to complete. but... would you? could you seriously... kill them? sometimes surgery has to be cruel. they killed blakeney? -yes. i suppose they lured him here for a meeting. i haven't come here to argue, i've come to be paid. it seems you leave me with no choice. no! -no... no! no! damn you! what did they do? eloise had to be killed too. -but in such a way that nobody would know it had happened. blakeney could just disappear. but whatever else she was, eloise was, to the world, sir richard morton's wife. so it wasn't typhoid. -no. no... no! please, no! no! no... no! -no! no! sir! sir! let me out! -please! typhoid, starvation... the end result would have looked much the same if anyone had examined her. there'd have been no suspicion. merrick signed the death certificate. -what about blakeney's signature? it could have been anyone. a friend of merrick. all the things that happened... it was always food. -the biscuits, lamb... the fridge. god, it must have been horrible. locked away, dying like that. horrible, yeah. -and painful. how... how did you find out about her and blakeney? how did you know it was his child? it was the poem. the poem you gave me. -look. "evil can make good". that was his sort of acknowledgement that they were criminals. "out of my love i see my future set". his wife was giving him a child. -it's an acrostic. if you read the first letter of each line, it spells out her name. eloise. how are you? i'm all right. -you don't mind meeting here? i'd rather not have. it seemed like neutral territory. i think it's anything but. no, the house is sold. -i can see that. who is it? a saudi arabian. it's an investment. not even moving in. -that's good. you see? told you i wouldn't muck you around. you did that when you married me. you didn't have to get me here for this. -i wanted to see you. why? erm... the... the papers. couple of things you left behind. things haven't worked out with karen. -oh? i'm not asking anything... i'm seeing someone. oh? matthew. -you remember? i published his book. the psychic? look, i... i'm... -i don't want to talk about this. don't go... can't offer you a drink. there's no electricity, no water. i just wanted to tell you i'm sorry. -but i'm not, daniel. i'm really not. i'm going to be out of london for a month. can i call you when i get back? no. -you can't. how was it? fine. he wanted to prove to himself he wasn't a complete shit. did he? -not to me. i hate this house. shall we go? yeah. sir? -hello? anyone there? jesus! who is that? let me out! -who is in there? let me out of here! please, whoever it is, let me out! this isn't a joke! all right. -whoever's out there, it's not funny any more. now let me out of here! lizzie? lizzie? is that you? -who's there? jesus! will you let me out of here? for god's sake! let me out of here! -help! help.! anyone there? anyone there? let me out! -is anyone there? is anyone there? help! in new york city's war on crime, the worst criminal offenders are pursued by the detectives of the major case squad. these are their stories. -it's twyla's most accessible work. i took a chance and got us tickets. i hope you like dance. i'm game for anything. i get so wrapped up in my work, i forget there's a whole other world out there. -it's time you enjoyed your life. here's to... here's to opening new doors. it's my service. sorry. -dr. stern here. mmm-hmm. tell him the results are positive and we'll resolve the problem friday. oh, and no more calls tonight. come on, melissa. -it's getting late. i'll see you friday. buzz, we're going to florida next weekend. i don't want to go with ted, i want to go with daddy. oh, we will, honey. -real soon. i'll take us all to florida. give your daddy a kiss. get in the car. buzz, you know about making promises. -this is one i'm, i'm gonna keep. listen, i'll come in. so we're clear, you do not want to mess with me. i just got into the city. what? -but you... all right, i got it. back of the train. you listen, no more changes. hey! -help, i'm stuck! ºó¼¾æ® µµ³ëçḮ¿à (·î¹öæ® °í·" çü"ç æµ) ä³¾²¸° ¾îºê (¾ë·º"êµå¶ó àóáî çü"ç æµ) á¦àì¹ì ½¦¸®´ø (á¦àó½º µðå²½º °æ°¨ æµ) äúæ®´ï b. ¹ê½º (·ð ä"¹ö °ë"ç æµ) law order ci 2x22. -zoonotic original air date on nbc: 2003/05/18 we have bloody shoeprints, a partial heading back to the exit at the other end. why not use that exit? out of order. -officer william davis, suffolk county pd. he's a long way from home. well, he tried to let his assailant know he was a cop. would've been better off reaching for his piece. he's wearing a vest. -he expected trouble. he found it. so the killer... he threaded the bars of the gate and found major arteries. he was sure-handed. -unless these wounds are just for show. davis might've been trailing someone. a pen. no memo pad. buzz was a dedicated officer. -if he was on someone's tail, he'd just keep dogging' the guy. his case log has a butcher shop break-in, vandalism at a laundromat. which of these was he dogging in the city? it'd be in his memo book. which was swiped. -according to this time sheet, he punched out at 4:00 yesterday. you know how it is. you punch out, you keep working. cigarettes. from the reservation? -a smuggling investigation? i'm not saying he was serpico. if buzz was killed in the line of duty, it doubles his family's death benefit. okay. he's going through a divorce. -he's got child support, legal fees. so he's been moonlighting. any other sidelines besides selling off-tax cigarettes? that's the only one i heard of. maybe the one you didn't hear about is the one that caught up with him. -how come all divorced cops have the same decorator? a diagnostic manual, medical encyclopedia. the pdr. unless this guy's a hypochondriac, he's not reading these for pleasure. this was his bedtime reading. -escort ads and 800 numbers. that painting. there was something bigger hanging here. how many eight-year-old girls you know who like sports cars? besides me? -it's freshly cut. nothing. unless that's what he was picking up in the city. something to stash in there. we were saying goodbye, and then he promised to take us to florida. -he said this time he meant it. and i almost believed him. he give any hint how he was going to pay for this trip? no, but i figured it was his raise. what raise? -he was up for a promotion, to detective. they probably told you that at the station. no, nobody mentioned it. did he say why he was being promoted? he was close to cracking a very big case. -medicare fraud. that explains the medical books. you're a secretary, janice, at an insurance company? a medical insurance company? yes. -i bet your adjusters use these in the office all the time. if buzz was investigating medicare fraud, he'd need access to insurance records. buzz being a quick-thinking cop, he would've looked for a shortcut. especially if it was for critical information. he would've looked for a computer password, like this one here. -maybe your password? he said if i loaned him my password it would be like giving him the last piece to the puzzle. he'd get promoted. and melissa could be proud of her daddy. the officer will take you home. -her company can tell us what files he accessed. maybe instead of investigating fraud, buzz was committing it. buzz, he was boning up on infectious diseases. infectious diseases and escort ads. have you told anyone about me yet? -there isn't much to tell yet. other than outside a spa, i've never seen so many jets in one shower. i like a clean body. you're so beautiful. there really isn't a jealous boyfriend somewhere? -no, not for the last three years. i've gotten used to being alone. from now on, you'll be anything but alone. hi, bobby. i'm angel. -come on in. can i take your coat? oh, hi. he didn't mention he had a friend. actually, i'm his partner. -whatever. you're cute. can you get me something from the mini? oh. right, "partner." -do you remember on the phone, when i didn't discuss specifics? i just came here for a little conversation. / save it. we just want to ask you about one of your conversation buddies. i don't know him. you should. -his phone records have him calling you every other week. hey, you know, it's friday night. i'm sure there's lots of guys out there that are dying for, uh, conversation. but if you'd rather sit here with us all night... okay. -i know him. buzz, the cop, right? the first time we hooked up, he tinned me. then he asked for a pba discount. fifty bucks. -i tell you, you give a guy a badge and... did he ask about any of your other clients? all cops are nosy. what did he want to know about your clients? just who they were, where they worked. -did he ask you if any of them had a sexually transmitted disease or any other infections? yeah, sure. but i think he was just being careful. your regulars, any of them stop seeing you lately? well, reverend tony and mr. cabezas, a couple others. -we'll need telephone numbers, whatever you have on them. buzz could have been looking at her johns' medical histories and then using that information to shake them down. and one of the johns shook back. he said he was a police officer. he shows me a badge, and then he asks me for money, otherwise he was gonna arrest me in front of my wife and kids. -he blackmailed you. how much? $1,600. that was all my savings. and what did he have on you? -evidence that you'd been treated for a sexually transmitted disease? no, no. i've never been treated for that. listen, i know that what i did with angel was wrong, but it was safe. buzz took him for $1,600. -pretty much the same ballpark as the other johns. but it doesn't seem like he was blackmailing them with their medical records. okay. as dirty as davis was, he's still a member of the family. let's keep this from the press, for his kid's sake. -it would've taken 50 johns to fill up the hole in buzz's wall. buzz had to be going for bigger fish. well, it looks like he was trying. the insurance company tracked the files he accessed. the patient records of three doctors. -two on the upper east side, one in soho. why would someone access my patient records? we believe the hacker was targeting male patients with stds. we refer those out. we're loathe to use antibiotics, as are our patients. -dr. kantor, you're not the subject of this investigation. of course not. you don't believe us. is that because you've been investigated before, because you practice unconventional medicine? yes. -the ama, the insurance companies, managed care. has anybody bothered you lately? the irs called about four weeks ago. they asked about your patients? the investigator had a tip that some of them took inflated medical deductions. -it was pure harassment. who were the patients? one has lupus, the other a tropical disease she's been fighting for the past few weeks. all women? yes. -and none of them had an std. the last time i spoke to the irs was eight years ago over a tax shelter my former accountant got me into. well, this would have been somebody pretending to be an irs investigator. the same somebody who hacked into your patients' insurance records. why would someone do that? -we think he was looking for embarrassing information to blackmail your patients. maybe a married patient with an std. i don't handle stds. not my specialty. i'm more... -internal medicine. yale. and, uh, here you're being honored for your work in south africa, combating infectious diseases. we went into the townships, we did what we could. the diseases we saw were fascinating. -the way they mutate, they'll outlive us all. you didn't bring this little fellow all the way from africa, did you? look, look, he brought a tiger cub to the kids at st. teresa's. there are no tigers in africa. not even in the cape town zoo? -we'd like to go through your patients' files with you. see if anybody in there might fit the bill as a blackmail victim. i highly doubt it's worth your time. most of my patients have digestive problems. acid reflux, stuff like that. -i have to tell you, it doesn't sound like the sort of thing blackmailers look for. dr. stern, i gotta tell you, blackmailing is right up our alley. i mean, we are pretty good at sniffing out potential victims. my partner might be a little hard on the furniture, but he's right about sniffing out blackmail victims. there's just a little matter of patient privilege. -you should discuss this with my attorney. let me give you his number. you're already fobbing us off on your attorney? i don't like lawsuits from my patients. your hand shakes. -it's either nerves, or an intention tremor. an intention tremor. it started in college. i guess that eliminated surgery for you. no loss. -even in college, i let my lab partners do the dissecting. stern couldn't have killed buzz. uh, he has a tremor. he lacks the dexterity to have committed the crime. this turn-gate was vandalized. -it was vandalized so that buzz was forced to use the one closest to the staircase. dr. stern had a stainless steel door on his cabinet rigged so he could look at the changing area from his desk. he likes to watch. if he arranged to have buzz killed, he would have wanted front row seats. from the staircase. -so he sabotaged the other exit. all right. thank you, doctor. the woman with the tropical disease slipped into a coma this morning. until you look close, you can't tell it's varnished macaroni. -isn't it fun? yes. as advertised. roger. what are you doing at an opening? -tish van der wahl, meet dr. scott borman. he's got some of the biggest patients in new york. really? you must be the one who brought roger here. his idea of a big night is to stay home and watch the surgery channel. -well, we're going to change all that. i bet you will. tish, let me get you a refill. so, scott, what's your specialty? hands-on care. -roger's been keeping you under wraps. now i see why. was dr. roger stern one of the specialists you saw? uh, i saw him, yes, but it was a while ago, for something unrelated. why do you ask? -well, someone hacked into his records, and yours, megan. and another woman, who's also being treated for an unknown viral infection. emily wagner? you know her? i got a call, and they mentioned her name but i don't... -a call from somebody with the irs? yes. he said he was investigating some of dr. stern's business expenses. he tried deducting the dinners that you had together. you dated him. -how did it end? we just... we went our own ways. he was married to his practice. was there any other reason for the breakup? -no. would you excuse me? i'm awfully tired. sure, sure. i just thought, being a germaphobic, -dr. stern broke up with you when you got sick. no, i got sick after. oh. well, we'll show ourselves out. typhoid roger. -you dump him, you get sick. blackmail him, you get killed. the cdc determined one woman was infected with rift valley fever, the other with nipah virus. they're obscure, potentially lethal zoonotic viruses, meaning they're found in animals. anything i could catch from my local vet? -not unless he's been in the southern hemisphere playing fetch with flying bats. then these woman were more likely deliberately, uh, infected? assuming you could get hold of the viruses. well, thanks, doc. let's keep in lock-step with the cdc and the health department, huh? -we're already best friends. even if you connect stern to these women, the guy's an acid reflux specialist. how does he get his hands on these bugs? the tiger cub. i need to track down the tiger cub. -thanks. the tiger cub that stern brought to the hospital was from the hudson zoo, where his donations have made him a special friend of the zoo. and where he's taken seminars on veterinary sciences. two civilians contaminated? that's pretty wild. -do you keep specimens of these viruses? uh, the lab keeps cultures for diagnostic purposes. if you need to change, dr. borman, we can wait outside. oh, that's okay. we're all mammals in here. -right, ladies? whatever you say, doctor. you do know, of course, that zoonotic doesn't mean that the viruses came from the zoo. it doesn't? my partner was telling me that. -but it doesn't make sense to me, because there's the word "zoo." guys. we never listen. you conducted seminars for special friends of the zoo. well, the directors think i'm a good ambassador for the zoo. -because you have so much in common with your animals? like tarzan, right? there's a doctor, a dr. roger stern. he attended some of your seminars. / sure. oh, these guys are like groupies. -they, uh, take one lecture, and go on a field trip. they think they're saving the planet. would you hand me those? did dr. stern ever ask you about nipah or rvf virus? no, no, no. -but one of your seminars was about zoonotic viruses. well, it was on arenaviruses. a completely different viridae. we classify viruses with what we call the baltimore system. you've lost me. -it doesn't matter. uh, well, it's almost showtime. we have a male hyena that we're going to neuter. you are welcome to stay and watch me operate. it's quite a specimen. -that's okay. i've seen my share of specimens. it is fascinating how they complement each other. tarzan and dr. stern? stern likes to watch, borman likes to be watched. -megan's reasons for breaking up with stern... there's something she's not telling us. the health department told me it's an animal virus. i can't imagine how i got it. well, before you fell ill, you were dating dr. stern. -you might have gone someplace where you got exposed. i don't see how. we went to the theater, to the opera. he showed you a good time. yeah, i did most of the showing. -he said he hadn't been to the met since his mother dragged him to la boheme when he was ten. i hope he appreciated your efforts. he said before he met me, his life was bereft. that must have been nice to hear. and you showed him new things. -so if... if he asked you to do things that you hadn't done before, you might try it, just to make him happy. well, yes, within reason, i guess. did he ever ask you anything involved with his friend, dr. scott borman? i was so dumb not to have seen it. -how did it happen? i was at roger's. we'd been drinking. the doorbell rang. it was scott. -he said he was in the neighborhood. it didn't occur to me they'd planned it. so you drank a little more, one of them made a suggestion... yeah, i thought they were joking. but roger said it would draw us closer. -roger kind of drifted away, and scott took his place in bed with me. and right away, it felt wrong. and so i looked to roger. he was sitting next to the bed, staring. i got scared. -with the way that he was looking at you? yeah, i felt humiliated. i wanted him to stop. i started crying, and he got this little smile. he saw me crying, and he smiled. -after this, you stopped seeing him? he kept calling, apologizing. i told him there was no going back. but you did see him again? well, i agreed to have dinner, in public. -when i got there, he gave me a "no hard feelings" gift. a pair of earrings. and he insisted putting them on you. yes. but with that hand tremor of his... -he pricked me. my earlobe started bleeding. tish, please. you're having a bad reaction. a bad reaction? -there's nothing wrong with me, roger. it's you. take a look in the mirror. i can't believe i almost... don't! -just stay away from me. stuck-up little prude. it's too bad we have to let this one go. i'm not kidding, roger. we can't afford another mistake. -get past it, scott. they infect these women for revenge? maybe. most killers get satisfaction from witnessing their handiwork. not these two. -when they inject these women, it's fire and forget. a voyeur and an exhibitionist. it's a wonder they found each other. isn't the world a swell place? the lab tests on megan's earrings was inconclusive. -but the jewelry store said they sold dr. stern four pairs of earrings. one was returned by emily wagner. the woman in a coma. she returned it two days before she first reported symptoms to her doctor. let me find a judge. -when you leave, i want everything back where you found it. housekeeping duties aren't stipulated in the warrant. what's this autoclave for? to steam vegetables? huh? -get him out of here. let's get everybody out of here. uh, we need a hazmat team. bolivian hemorrhagic fever, lassa, anthrax, alpha pathogens. -the baddest boys on the block. everything was safe and sealed, or i wouldn't keep them in my home. where'd you get these specimens? the bolivian and the lassa i acquired from doctors who encountered them in the field. and the anthrax? -because there are a lot of people here interested in knowing how you got your hands on a bio-weapon. it's from south africa. a fellow collector in their defense department. i can give you his name. i should have gotten rid of it, i know. -i will pay a fine. i won't do it again. if it were only that easy. our lab told us some of the vials have been opened recently and resealed. those open vials included the nipah virus and rvf. -two women that you dated were infected with these same viruses. i have 267 specimens. whatever virus anyone gets in this city i probably have in my collection. or you infected these women because they wouldn't be part of your other little collection. -the one you share with dr. borman? oh? this sounds rich. megan colby told us when she opted out of your health plan, you infected her with a pair of earrings. like this pair we found in your home. -which lucky lady are these for? no one. poor megan. you know, the viruses can impair memory. even cause paranoia. -she had a very clear memory of the look in your eyes when you were watching her. and i see my lawyer's here. our threesome's over. lab says the virus strains in the women are too degraded to match with the ones in his collection. as far as finding other victims, now we have 267 pathogens stern might have used. -this just doesn't stop. if buzz davis hadn't tried to put the squeeze on dr. stern, he might have actually busted this case and earned his promotion. stern kept his specimens sorted according to the baltimore system. but this one vial, it's out of order. it's a rabies virus. -of all the pathogens, he was only using the zoonotics. animal virus. at least we can narrow our search to women with those infections. he said i was the missing piece in his life. i really thought he enjoyed going to art galleries, plays, all the sissy things he said his mother tried to interest him in. -sissy things? he used those words? that's what his father called them. did he say anything else about his father? just that he was in shipping. -worked himself to death. roger didn't want that happening to him. those finer things, did they include his friend, scott borman? actually, scott's the one who introduced us. i used to volunteer at the zoo as a docent. -did scott do anything besides introduce you? okay, look, i really don't want to revisit that. it's a thing, it happened, that's it. after that, did you go back to work at the zoo? and risk running into scott? -no. i resigned. you had to go back to get your things. they sent them to me. what exactly? -stupid things. a sweater, makeup, my case for my contact lenses. you wear contacts? i used to. before the infection. -my lawyer will be here soon. but if you wanna tell me what these assault charges are all about... it has to do with infecting one of the volunteers at the zoo with a virus. excuse me? anais hutchinson. -she dated roger stern. we've been wracking our brains trying to figure out how a zoonotic virus, the hendra virus, went from his little wine cooler into a contact lens case that was left by her at the zoo. that's how she was infected. the rewetting solution in the case was contaminated. you didn't tell us just how close you and dr. stern were. -the ladies are talking, scott. you wanna know what they said? tell me everything. don't leave out a word. i'll tell you. -what they're talking about is how after you and roger tag-teamed them... they couldn't find soap strong enough to get rid of the stench. well, they weren't singing the blues when i was plowing the field. roger dumped them. as much as it turned him on to watch them with me, he'd get jealous. -no, they bailed out of your little freak show. and then the next thing they knew... they were hooked to an iv being pumped full of antivirals. please. miss hutchinson worked at a zoo. -wild beasts rolling around in their own feces. you said that he got jealous. well, maybe he thought that he was being taken advantage of by you. well, i don't see that. well, he's a park avenue doctor. -you're a vet. yeah. i mean, he's doing all the work, bagging all these beautiful, cultured young socialites. what do you bring to the table? what do i bring? -well, i'll tell you. roger can't satisfy these women. that's where i come in. i seal the deal. and roger likes to watch, see these women going out of their mind with pleasure. -if i'm guilty of anything, it's spoiling these girls for other men. his speedos must be pinching off the blood supply to his brain. in the midst of all his strutting. he did present an alternative theory to miss hutchinson's infection. one that creates a reasonable doubt. -if both doctors hold to their stories... you know, we know scott's story, but we don't know roger's. now, he said that seeing women being pleasured was what roger found exciting. but megan saw something else in the way that roger was looking at her. he was getting off on her humiliation. / yes. -scott and roger were using these women to meet their needs. but i doubt they really know what each other's needs are. it's time that we show them. why don't you just copy the form you filled out when you first arrested me? it's ridiculous. -my lawyer told me i'm supposed to get bail today. okay, your father's name. joseph. his occupation. your father's occupation. -longshoreman. that's right, shipping. what are you looking at? nothing. i'm just thinking about these preposterous charges. -well, we feel pretty good about them. and our witnesses. like megan colby? her character leaves a lot to be desired. he was right. -you are jealous. no, dr. borman told us that you're jealous of his prowess. that's nonsense. he said that you couldn't satisfy them, so you brought him in to pick up the slack. he told us that it turned you on to see what a good time they were having with him. -and that excitement, well, gave way to jealousy. no, he's a brute. a pig. why would i be jealous of a pig? scott told us that your girlfriends had the time of their life with him. -what are you talking about? they were debased, humiliated. i turned them into the corncob in the pigsty, with that rutting hog on top of them. they'd look at me, wanting me to call him off! they wanted you to save them? -we have to redo his booking form, too. well, i won't be long with dr. stern. have a seat right there. now, where were we? your mother, i need her name. -vivian. vivian. that's nice. sophisticated. one of your girlfriends told us that vivian used to take you to the opera. -is that true? yes. she wanted to enrich your young life. you must've liked that. i bet your mother never dragged you to the opera. -yeah, she knew better. well, roger here, now, he got stuck doing all the sissy things with his mother. isn't that what his father called it? that's right. sissy things. -you know, something just occurred to me. those women, megan, the others. they were trying to change you. like your mother. let's leave her out of this. -no, vivian didn't want you to end up like your dad. a brute of a longshoreman, working himself to death. my parents respected each other. why don't you just tell the truth, roger? that everything you did wrong, -mom said it was because of your dad's side of the family. your mother, she put on airs. like megan. she made you do sissy things. but then you became an adult, and you found a way to square things up. -that little scenario what we talked about earlier. the one with scott and megan. he is kind of like your dad. a big swaggering brute. what are you talking about? -forget it. it's dime-store psychology. even so, there is something to it. when you used him to humiliate those women, to degrade them, that was your mother being humiliated. your mother being degraded. -sorry to tell you, scott, but it wasn't your technique that turned him on. it was the humiliation that he inflicted on them by using you. what is it that you said you did? you turned them into the corncob in a pigsty. and, well, scott, you're the pig. -that's not true. i never said that. i'm no pig. women crave me. roger knows that. -oh. does he? oh, look. this webcam up here on top has been on. scott said that your girlfriends had the time of their life with him. -what are you talking about? they were debased, humiliated. i turned them into the corncob in the pigsty, with that rutting hog on top of them. they'd look at me, wanting me to call him off. -a rutting hog? you called me a rutting hog? he used you to turn them into animals. you prissy bastard! you think you can use me like a donkey? -and then when they walked away from him, he got them sick with animal viruses. animals, scott. like you, scott, the rutting hog. he's the animal, not me. he did it to them. -shut up, you dope. it was his idea to punish them. he infected them. no, it was him. look at him. -so full of himself. the veterinarian, wallowing in the muck with his animals. i'm gonna kill you! yeah, who's in the cage now, huh? who's the animal now, huh? -who's the animal? who's in the cage? huh? huh? i'm gonna kill you! -i'm gonna kill you! you know what he does all day? you know where he puts his hands? he's a filthy animal, a pig. he's a killer. -he killed buzz davis. yes, yes, that's right, a killer. a wild beast. and you watched. i'm not like him. -i'm nothing like him. both dr. stern and dr. borman are willing to plead to multiple counts of assault. stern offered to roll on borman for the murder of officer davis. how much time just on the assaults? separate counts to be served consecutively, minimum 15 years each count. -so they'd be very old men before they got out, if they ever get out. and if no one's prosecuted for buzz davis' murder, the circumstance of his death wouldn't be on the record. that's true, but... for all anybody'd know, he died in the line of duty. it matters? -yeah. it matters to his daughter. what is it? the south african source for stern's anthrax. he told the fbi he gave stern five grams of the stuff. -but our lab only found three in stern's collection. ...when the vislans lived by the vistula the buzans by the bug, and goplans by the goplo when each tribe had their own gods cruel popiel came to power to be eaten by mice in the end. written by from the novel by j.i. kraszewski starring with -camera operator sound edited by militaria and horse training make up artists costume designers executive producer music by production designer directors of photography -produced by co-director directed by "unworthy of power is he who abuses his authority." chronicler wincenty kadlubek, 13th century what do you see?

i wanted to. -and now? run away with me. what? run away. i don't even know your name. -stay here. he can't escape. good shot. who are you? a hunter. -why did you help me? one to five is not a fair fight. you're wearing thor's hammer. you were with the vikings. you're ziemowit, piast's son. -i knew your father. i can't do it here. our farm's nearby. will you manage to ride? hide the corpses, or they'll burn down your house. -what's wrong? i wonder if the peasants believed. what difference does it make? the guardian didn't believe, and he's already yonder. who's there? -znosek, sir! important news! come in! only a horse came back from the chase. follow them. -i will, my lady. slaughtering one's own kin is the worst crime. this calls for an assembly! a custom long forgotten. not by all! -hold on. now. and if it was poisoned? sear the wound! you want to call a meeting? -that's my intent, yes! i'll pass the word out and it will spread on and on. the prince is vindictive. might ask for your head. -let him! no felon will rule over us. you want to elect a new prince? a prince? whatever for? -the tribes will rule as in the past. the neighbors will invade you. they'll grind you to dust. they won't. they never did and never will. -tomorrow i'll ask your father for your hand. if he refuses... you'll draw the gods' wrath on us! the shrine is a day away. stay here, gather your strenghts. -the shrine is a day away. stay here, gather your strenghts. they'll find me and kill all of you. i must leave by dawn. you won't manage to ride. -i'll give you a wagon... my sons and some of my men. you need all your men here. and ziemowit, piast's son stands for ten warriors. i'll escort you. where and when is the assembly?

you'll bring two heads. a quarter of the loot goes to me for chosing your warriors. a lot. -a lot, you say? wisz is a rich peasant. i can always summon other men. we're leaving at daybreak. what? -hush! they'll attack your father. who? smerda. at dawn! -did you hear that? some big fish. a pike. they don't expect anything. open the gate! -i wish you well though you serve a felon. go away! seize him! remember the mother, avenge the father. blood for blood. -blood for blood. i'm with you. i want to be your brother. accept me. father died for the peasants. -they should call for revenge. i'll avenge him with my sword. you'll have a brother in me. and you'll have brethern in us. there was no time to ask wisz. -now you're the elder. i want to marry your sister. the younger one? she's not meant for weavning and childbearing, but for the sacred fire and divination. chosen by the gods. -girls dream about such fate, until they savor married life. i love her. father vowed that if her mother survived the delivery... he'd offer the child to the gods. now, her parents are yonder. i do not wish to offend the spirits or the gods. -i'd be glad to oblige, but i can't. you prefer an enemy to a brother? when you need friends, not foes? i can't. i'll take her by force. -and we'll defend her with force. i vow by the sun... i vow by the sun... i vow by the sun... i vow by the sun to conform to and obey whatever the assembly decides even if it were against my will. -he who summoned us died, but his spirit is here and demands revenge. father's blood calls for revenge! the law says: death for death. -death for death! who was the killer? smerda. kill smerda! he followed the prince's orders. -and if he killed of his own will? then the prince is innocent! he is guilty! he's innocent! wisz summoned you here to judge a felon. -the prince slaughtered all of his kin. who saw it? i did! i saw the corpses! they died in a fight for power. -a sword doesn't turn the flesh blue or makes the mouth foam. it doesn't kill dogs. he maimed the bodies to hide the signs of poisoning. a crime unpunished gives birth to another crime! what say you? -death. death! death! death! death! -death. death. name your commander! our tribe is the largest. we're giving the most men. -bumir! let the strongest lead! giant for the commander! our tribe is the oldest. let dzikowic command! -and what about us? are we worse? choose whomever you want! but choose a leader. what for? -we'll attack in a mass! yes, that's right! in a mass! ten heads are better than one. let's do it! -and the harvest? harvest first. war after the harvest! he's right! after the harvest! -strike on kupala's feast. they'll be drunk and unarmed. no warrior will dare to fight that night! they won't defend the fortress? my men will. -kill the peasants' sons! call the vikings. they'll wreck havoc. good! peasants will seek your protection. -the saxons are nearer. a viking loots and leaves. but a saxon? once he sit down his iron-clad butt... you'll be a great ruler, son. -greater than your father. we're safe until the harvest. there's time to summon the vikings. when the boys get drunk and wild they might mistake me for a girl. some could try to steal a kiss! -go back home. leave the feast! go home. if you stay blood will flow! you're insane! -insane! insane! you know... once, i was beautiful too. but tears washed the charm away. -i'm insane! i love you! no! you love me! no! -mila! fetch the beer! she'll waste away in the shrine. i haven't sent for you. not yet. -i killed someone. i betrayed the gods by falling in love. you killed? i was the cause of my parents' death. he kidnapped me, i struggled! -with whom? whom did you kill? ziemowit... piast's son. oh, gods! -ziemowit slain by a girl's hand? lmpossible. the prophecy can't be wrong. i'll keep watch over the holy fire. you are too young. -please, let me. all right. but this will be only a trial. she killed... ziemowit, piast's son. -ziemowit? lmpossible. leave your horse here, sir. there is an underwater passage. dark forces evil spirits, flee away! -flee! flee... flee away... fever go beyond swamps. fever go beyond forests! he fell asleep... -i did my job... unless someone casts a spell... water... i wish i had some live water... but where to find it? -beyond the hills and far away... far, far away... a wild boar attacked me. it must have been a really huge one. shame and disgrace! -stabbed by a girl... a laughing-stock. even old wives will laugh... until i get her. she's in the shrine. -i'll kidnap her from anywhere. insulting the gods and people. i don't care. i wanted to become her brothers' brother to avenge their father's death... they refused to give her. -and the fortress? what about it? they decided to attack popiel. the assembly is the tribe's voice. popiel is not my concern. -you didn't like living with vikings? i did. so what drove you back? if i only knew... a longing. -a longing? i missed the forest. forests are everywhere. but they smell different. go back to the vikings. -why should i? join the vikings... or the saxons... or russians. you're a brave warrior. they'll welcome you and pay well. -why should i go? if popiel is no concern of yours, then neither are we or this land. go away and never come back. their decision to wait has filled our granary. they're late. -the peasants? the vikings. pity i sent for them. that filthy mob won't even dare... and yet. -light the stake! let them know i do not fear them. wait till they come nearer! wait! strong walls. -how to get past? attack the gate. the gate is well guarded. we need ladders. ladders? -lmagine me on a ladder! there are relatives of ours on the other side! they won't fight their own kin! my two sons! and mine! -nielub! open the gate! you'd be useful there now. sure! come out to us! -gniewko, wramot, nielub, bolko! bow to your fathers! stop! stop! now! -turn back! back! learn. burn the bridge! damn you! -you and your kin shall die! you'll start eating your own shit! we will starve you to death! surround the fortress with guards! watch the lake and the woods! -who do you think you are, smart-ass? we know what to do. each of us has his own deals to settle here. and you? you're not one of us! -go away, before someone thinks you are in popiel's service! leave! leave! away with you! go away! -careful! careful! or the blood will rush. may i rest here? be our guest. -you're going to the shrine? yes. but i see you're not too well. give me some water. mila! -don't you see that our guest is weary? wounded in a battle? in the woods, by a boar. i thought you had been at the fortress. will you put us up for the night? -take in a guest, take in the gods. why are you staring at him? he looked at me, too. a rich man. but i wouldn't call him a jug-maker. -he seems a jug-breaker to me. vanish, ghost! i'm not a ghost. i'm alive. i'm alive. -touch me if you don't believe that. i haven't killed you! you regret that? you came to kill me? don't do it here. -i'm not seeking revenge. i wanted to see you. i had to defend myself. i was promised to the gods by my father. i won't forbid you to make offerings and talk to the spirits at the sacred stone. -the spirits are jealous like people. you can't serve both people and the gods. i love you. i'll kidnap you, risking your stabbing me. please, go, and don't come back. -and if i do come back? kill me! kill me! don't you dare kidnap her! father wizun! -be a man! should i take revenge? gain fame at war, not in wedlock! jarucha, you know everything. i do, i do. -i know you have the hots! pour me some. jarucha likes her mead. give me some love potion. what? -you're the best love potion. give me the love potion! for him? a love potion is too weak. we need some magic. -honey, honey, sacred honey. honey, honey, sacred honey. oh, goddess of love! let your lips taste sweet to him. let your breasts taste sweet to him. -let your womb taste sweet to him. let him stick to you like this grain does... soon we'll see some horses! give it to him looking straight into his eyes. don't blink! -he'll be yours. but if you blink, forget about him. thank you for your hospitality. you're welcome. have a good trip. -let the gods guide you. a farewell drink. run! run! save my child! -wild beasts are better than people! into the woods! jarucha! into the woods! my beloved... -to a good beginning! to odin! haven't i seen you before? you have, jarl sivald. you sailed with me. -untie him! join us. you assaulted us. you used to plunder, too. with us. -despite your promise! i'm sorry, but your prince invited us. popiel. yes, poppel. what are they talking about? -none of your business, dwarf. join us or leave. i have the right to seek revenge. no doubt. but don't try. -it'd be a waste of your life. mysterious are the ways of the gods. run! run for your life! people! -that's the gods' wrath! punishment for raising against the prince! if we'd been loyal, he'd defend us against the vikings! go to the prince and beg him forgiveness! he will come to our defence! -let us appease the gods! true! that's the gods' wrath for your brawling and stupidity! go ahead, bow to him. beg him for mercy. -him, the butcher of your kin and of your sons! the traitor who brought the vikings! what will you say up yonder... when your turn comes to face the spirits of our ancestors? there is your commander. obey him! -he will lead you. the guardian! the guardian is our commander! choose your decurions and centurions. not according to their tribal ranks but to their skills as warriors! -son of piast approach. when my voice becomes weak heed to ziemowit, piast's son. he's young but no stranger to battle. make an oath by the sun! by the sun! -without horses we can't catch up with the vikings. we'll wait for them halfway, instead. *thor took their minds away! *they didn't burn the boats! *they still can do it. -odin! surrender! or you shall all perish! for each of our lives you'll pay with ten! we can't afford to lose men. -we still must fight popiel. let the gods decide! jarl is calling the bravest one to stand up against him! if jarl falls you'll take our swords. if your man is killed, we'll sail away. -what? no volunteers? you want to win with cunning only? men with hares' hearts! me. -swear by the sun that you'll keep your word. swear by odin that you won't come back here. by the sun. by the sun! drop you weapons! -you have sworn by odin! we swore to give you our swords. they'd been like a pack of wolves, but they died like true warriors. let their spirits sail away to valhalla. they want more? -call the saxons. did you hear? yes, my lady. you dirty bastards! want some more? -come on, then, don't be shy! you stinking cowards! time for a bleeding! will you order to strike? no. -just surround the fortress. don't let anybody sneak through the walls. he tried to sneak through. we found this on him. popiel's emblem. -i saw him with the vikings. what are your orders? speak! speak, you weasel! the saxons! -i am to fetch the saxons! enough. let him go. what? let them know nobody will help them. -you dirty bastards! stinking cowards! die, peasants! kill them! kill them! -death to the peasants! why don't you order to strike? a lot of men will perish. war is war. you want a victory that no one will celebrate? -what do you see there? a tower. and some pigeons. pigeons always return home. grain... -spill grain! forgive us, gods, for sacrifing birds to save people. let them fly! brilliant idea. a russian princess used it against rebels. -you know a lot. let's go! to the keep! everyone into the keep! there! -what now? we'll summon the saxons. they stopped znosek. we'll send another. we're safe! -the granary is full! we can fight back for a long time! how long? very long. too many mouths to feed, too few hands to bear weapons! -they're getting rid of the useless. they won't leave the keep. mama, i'm hungry! wait! but i want some food! -in a moment! open the granary, run the mills! mama, i'm cold! lousy bastards! you can't burn the tower! -we have plenty of food! don't come closer to the tower! don't waste your arrows! we're out of grain. what? -we have no grain. mice. mice, sir. mice! mice! -his head will pay for our lives. gods i curse... i curse you! you've seen the gods' wrath! the prophecy came true! -a man can't live without his head the bees without their queen. yesterday came the vikings tomorrow it'll be the saxons! elect... the new prince! the guardian! the guardian! -the guardian! i'm old! i have no son and will not have one. who'll be my successor? more assemblies, more quarrels? -there is someone that many of you here owe their lives to! ziemowit! glory! do you... still wish to run off with her? yes. -if you appease the gods, they'll forgive you. kiss! kiss! kiss! and they lived happily ever after. -ziemowit succeeded the guardian on the throne. then, his son, leszek, followed by the grandson ziemomysl and the great grandson mieszko, who cut down the sacred oaks overthrew the gods of old and taught his fellow polans to worship jesus christ. ...and taught his fellow polans to worship jesus christ. special thanks for making this film possible to: # does he love me # -# i wanna know # # how can i tell if he loves me so?

'64? -that's back when patrol cars were red. mm. random street murder. assigned detectives are both dead. a gay bashing outside a bar that don't exist anymore. -any you have three civilian interviews. sounds like a winner, huh? we got a shot. joined the patron saints of lost causes? ain't lost if i'm looking for it. -whoo, got him to drink the kool-aid? so where you two gonna start? crime scene. queen village. that cracks him up. -take jeffries. maybe he remembers the bar. someone saw what happened. someone always does that. so we'll fine'em. -knock on doors. ask neighborhood people. someone'll remember our guy. another optimist. the hush room was over there. -corner of sodom and gomorrah. is that what the cops called it? it's what the residents called it. nice, huh? now. -neighborhood's changed? night and day. all the neighbors are long gone. yuppies pushed'em out. if it was so crappy how come this penn kid came all the way down here? -if you were in gay '64, this was the only game in town. if you wanted to socialize, this was the only place. so why was danny in this alley? got chased. or ambushed. -or lucky. how would he have gotten back to campus in '64. subway. the other direction from the hush room. maybe he found a friend who lived thataway? -caller saw the body "splayed and protruding in the alley..." who called it in? anonymous. boy, you got nada. -we got a neighbor who saw nothing, a bartender who knew nothing and a drag queen called tinkerbell. plus a note tossed in that tinkerbell had a lead on who liked to kick queer ass in the neighborhood. let me guess. no follow-up, right? tinkerbell could have been been a good id, though. -like a gang moniker. that's how we find the thugs now. you wanna look for tinkerbell? in never-never land? or drag bars. -you sure that's the best job for me? definitely. we should check the old arrest books at the district station house. figure out who the area bullies were. i'll go to the district house with you, you troll the bars with me. -sure. i ain't scared. so what violations are we looking for? there wasn't a code for hate crimes. certainly weren't calling it "gay bashing". -so.... male-on-male assaults? assault, drunk and disorderly, disturbing the peace, the whole constellation. south philly thugs. i probably got relatives in this book. the hush room was managed by anthony desica from '61 to '68. -we'll go and see him. our boss, lieutenant stillman. yes, i remember. mrs. holtz. thank you for looking at this case again, so much time later. -well, no case is too old to open again. i never asked before. does it say in there how exactly danny died? blunt force trauma. beaten? -uh, with a round, wooden implement. baseball bat, maybe. oh, that would be too awful. there wasn't much danny loved more than baseball. he was on the penn team. -he must have been a decent player. shortstop. in your original interview, helen, you mention danny's fiancee. well, girlfriend. he said "his girlfriend", at least. -the fiancee part maybe was my wishful thinking. what about other friends? danny had a lot of friends. anyone that could have been a romantic interest? looking back? -you think he'll be there? we are early. i don't know, but my feet are killing me. the liberty bell isn't that fascinating. oh, i hear him. -danny, it's us. honey, are you there? okay, mom, uh, just a second. this is a friend from the law school. we were just studying. -i thought you guys weren't coming back till later. i'm late. i've gotta go. so nice to meet you. did you guys have a good time? -we had a great time. your mother loved it. what time are we meeting deborah? i don't even know that boy's name. i know so little about his life. -would deborah know? maybe. last i heard of her, she was applying to med school. you remember her last name? i could get it. -she wrote us an awfully nice note when danny died. if you find that boy... or whoever was important to danny... will you let him know i'm here. sure. you, uh, still wanna go to the scene, ma'am? i do... but i'm feeling too tired now. -maybe tomorrow. i'll walk you out. hey. queen village bullies and thugs, circa 1964. we extrapolated. -thanks. you boys have fun tonight. we wanna talk to you about the hush room, anthony. why you asking about ancient history? that's the business we're in. -ralphie, finish this, huh? everyone in the place don't need to know i worked in a queer bar. yeah, okay. my uncle owned it. -what can i say? i wasn't his favorite nephew. i got the booby prize job. you remember this kid, danny? yeah, i liked him. -he was a baseball nut. that was the year the phillies choked on the pennant race. they were eight and a half games ahead, and then they blew ten straight in a row. so i had something to talk with him about. any idea who killed him? -everybody hated those people. how about a drag queen called tinkerbell? you friendly with her? they were all tinkerbells to me. you remember the night danny died? -yeah, 'cause of the raid. what about it? cops was raiding us all the time. so, we paid them off to tip us as to when they were coming. what did you do with the information? -i had a red light behind the bar. if people were dancing and the red light started, they knew to hurry up and get into boy-girl couples before the cops got there. only that night there was no warning. how come? i don't know. -maybe my uncle was late with the payoff. cops ever do any damage? sure. those kind of raids was open season on them fags. there's nothing on the books about a police raid. -you're surprised? this raid happened the night of a murder. that's pretty significant. yeah, well, things were different back then, scott. the department isn't squeaky-clean. -there's a lot that's ugly in our past. so, now we got two secret worlds to break into... gays and the history of the department. you know about russo's raiders? heard stories. captain john russo had an elite squad. -they took care of businesses... payoffs, raids. probably gay bashing, too. nice. so, how do we find out what cops were on this raid? not from the records, lil. -that stuff was off the books. how do we find out if danny was beaten with a nightstick, and not a bat? we should stop calling them drag queens. how come? i think the last guy was offended. -i thought they call themselves drag queens. don't mean we can. is it a slur? i don't think it is. how about cross-dresser? -that's not offensive, right? no, it's neutral. all right, let's go with that one this time. hey, how's it going? super. -we're, uh, looking for an older gentlemen... a cross-dresser who goes by the name of tinkerbell. don't know him. you got any old-timers that hang out here? there's an older crowd in the rooms upstairs. and huberman had it... -he understood what's going to happen. unfortunately, he was 100% right. (ida ibbeken) of course he was one of the great artists, but he was different. you could see that he cared so much for other people -and the way they treated each other... and he suffered for it. huberman met ida ibbeken at the medical clinic where he went for treatment for stress. she was his nurse. -(tzvi avni) he fell in love with her... ida ibbeken was really the ideal partner of a person like huberman. she was everything to him; she was a secretary and a cook and she carried his violin -and everything was for her kind of holy, actually, what she was doing for him. she was totally absorbed in what he did, and, of course, in his attitude towards the cause. germany had been huberman's most supportive -and lucrative audience. but as hitler's anti-semitic policies became law, he immediately canceled all of his concerts there, to the dismay of his friend and supporter, wilhelm furtwangler, -one of the most famous conductors in the world, head of the mighty berlin philharmonic. furtwangler claimed to oppose the nazis as well, but ultimately he stayed in germany conducting for hitler until the end of the war. -he would struggle with his decision for the rest of his life. to save his financially strapped orchestra, furtwangler had made a deal with the devil. propaganda minister joseph goebbels guaranteed -financial support for the berlin philharmonic and leniency towards certain key jewish players in return for furtwangler's commitment to stay in germany. furtwangler was naive? he believed in the power of music, -that it can change. he believed also in taking care of his orchestra. that was his instrument. "these are mein kinder," he would say. -"mein kinder." but never the less, by the end of 1935, every jew in the berlin philharmonic, one way or another, had gone. to maintain the heroic quality of his concerts, -furtwangler needed great soloists, and he went to goebbels to seek exemptions for certain international jewish artists. "special jews." it was 1933... -the nazis were still concerned with world opinion. so after furtwangler's visit, goebbels created an edict he would not have made made even a year later. (goebbels) in the centre of our musical life, -must be the cultivation of great german music. but, every true artist must perform in germany without consideration of his race. furtwangler wrote immediately to invite huberman to be the soloist at the opening concert -of the 1934 season - the most prestigious and lucrative invitation any musician could get. (furtwangler) dear friend, it is now clear that every artist, no matter what his race, may perform in germany. -i told the department that i was going to invite you. someone must make the first move. i can't even imagine what it was like at that time. he was being asked to play in germany -where they were doing terrible things to the jews and to musicians, and he was critical of even the people who were not nazis, so he refused to play. (zeev steinberg) he said they are throwing out -people from the orchestra... from the music academies... we cannot lend our art to this kind of policies. (huberman) dear friend, -i cannot accept your government's declarations as sufficient for my return to german concert life. the gap between germany and the cultural world is getting bigger every day. germans have become animals. -(furtwangler) the foreign press exaggerates these things... there is a legal revolution going on in germany, and an artist has to accept the inevitable course of events as reality - whether one approves of it or not. -(huberman) i am a pole, a jew, a free artist and a pan-european. and by each of these characteristics i am a dead enemy of nazism. playing everywhere in europe, except germany, -huberman chose vienna as a home base and its leaders proudly gave him a castle, schloss hetzendorf, where he taught as the director of vienna's master violin school. the many disturbances in vienna -that targeted jews that year affected huberman greatly. when no one would publicize these events he gave a concert to benefit the victims. the indifference of the viennese stunned him. (huberman) are we going back to the times of dreyfus? -will no one help the jews? with the nazis' brutal anti-semitism spreading across europe, huberman was glad to return to palestine for a recital tour in 1934. -all 12 concerts were completely sold out. but huberman was moved and frustrated that so many could not afford them, so he offered to play reduced rate 'workers' concerts. but even here in palestine huberman had a constant reminder -of nazi anti-semitism. his long-time german pianist, siegfried schultze, had been forbidden by the nazis to play with huberman, the jew. (huberman) nazism destroyed the dream of pan europa, -and it provoked a fundamental change in my attitude towards palestine. i now believe this new state of the jews could fulfill our pan european mission. it was during this 1934 palestine tour -that huberman had an inspiration that would change the cultural world. (huberman) with hitler firing the best musicians in germany, it suddenly became clear to me that here was an extraordinary opportunity - -to give this wonderful audience in palestine a first-class orchestra... this is when the palestine symphony began. when he thought about establishing this orchestra, i don't think he had any doubts -as to what he was going to ask people to do. you come to palestine, you play in the orchestra. this is going to be something special. (huberman) can you imagine a pro-jewish, pro-zionist campaign -more effective than a concert tour of a palestine orchestra? this will enhance the prestige of jews all over the world. (pinchas zukerman) the doctrine of that society at the time, what huberman saw as a way to depart from it, -to say, come with me - here we're going to have freedom through music - through our music. this is our music. (huberman) one has to build a fist against anti-semitism. -a first-class orchestra will be this fist. governments around the world responded to nazi policies with careful diplomacy but cultural icons openly expressed their outrage in a cable sent to hitler. -(toscanini) i would like that my name be first on this cable in protest of this outrage. the most famous musician in the world, arturo toscanini, had conducted in germany with overwhelming success in 1931 -at richard wagner's theater in bayreuth. the maestro was immediately re engaged for 1933, but in protest, toscanini canceled. deeply wounded, winifred wagner asked her friend adolph hitler to try to convince toscanini to return to bayreuth. -(hitler) highly honored maestro, i have always seen bayreuth as the fulfillment of a high artistic mission. i look forward to the moment when i shall personally be able to thank you for your participation. -with sincere admiration, adolph hitler. toscanini had hitler's letter translated word for word into italian so he understood it completely, before he said no. toscanini's public refusal to conduct in nazi germany -reflected his unbending resistance to fascism. and it attracted huberman. (huberman) maestro toscanini, i am obsessed by an idea in the musical realm, the realization of which would have major cultural -and political consequences. i would be very grateful if you would give me the opportunity to visit in order share my idea with you. toscanini at that time was a political person. and he was very very interested -in this idea of huberman and the orchestra. (toscanini) it is my duty to 'fight' for the cause of artists persecuted by nazis. he volunteered to conduct the opening concerts of this new palestine orchestra -and all over the world that made a tremendous impression. (huberman) maestro, your support of the orchestra is an historic moment in the struggle against nazism and the building up of palestine. -we will create an orchestra of the highest european standards in a tiny country in need of an orchestra, and it will be made up of musicians in need of a new home. for the next two years huberman traveled -across europe auditioning jewish musicians in search of the very best among the thousands who had been fired by the nazis. many musicians had not found work and they were searching for a way to live. -the idea of leaving their families and their home was difficult, but the nazi threat grew more worrisome every day and they came to huberman's call. many people, even in nazi germany, -thought that musicians wouldn't want to go to palestine, the desert. don't forget in 1936 still there were a lot of jewish persons, including musicians, who believed that it would blow over. -but as their options were running out, huberman's auditions attracted more and more of the top players willing to consider leaving their homeland. huberman knew he could not take out the thousands who wished to leave germany; -he would select only the very best players and he steeled himself to the idea of what might happen to those he did not choose. it was very, very difficult for him and sometimes he just had to empty himself -of all his emotions and just really decide this man is better. i know it sounds terrible because in a way he was actually the judge who is going to live and who is going to die. -(huberman) god alone knows why this project became mine to fulfill. but already 20 concert masters and solo cellists have agreed to serve in the palestine symphony... in order to escape this nazi hell. -huberman's primary motivation was to rescue his colleagues. in addition he saw before other people did that the risk didn't only extend to german jews. that hitler was going to wage a war, and that polish jews and czech jews -and austrian jews would be at risk. so he went to recruit in eastern europe because he knew this was not going to be limited to germany. huberman's search took him home, to poland. the superb warsaw symphony was 40% jewish, -and huberman contacted a musician friend, jacob surowicz, to arrange auditions. (ida ibbeken) mr. surowicz, you asked if even first class members of your orchestra should get in touch with mr. huberman. -mr. huberman really had to laugh! the first class members are the only ones who should contact him! please react accordingly and call your first class musicians. huberman knew many of the musicians in poland -and decided to hold 'blind' auditions... so his selections would be based solely on the players' musicianship. (huberman) in art there can be no mercy and no compromise. -playing in the warsaw symphony at that time were three brothers and their father, pesach ginzburg, beloved patriarch of the orchestra and of the jewish musical community in warsaw. -mr. huberman came to our grandfather, to pesach's house, to audition all the members of the family. then you had four of them together... it's very easy. -anyway, they all were signed on the contract by the 30 of september, '36. (huberman) in poland i found many fine players for the orchestra, including my guide, jacob surowicz... -and he will come with his family as well. in the decades to follow, the surowicz family would continue to be heard in the orchestra. i'm the 3rd generation in the orchestra. my grandfather was one of the founders, jacob surowicz, -and my father played double bass in the orchestra and i've been playing since '67. i was practically born intro the orchestra. it was always part of my life. as a matter of fact, when i joined the orchestra -i had a feeling of some kind of fulfillment - of closing a cycle that started about 70 years ago. you must understand that huberman was already a legend at that time and he auditioned musicians all over the world. -and if he invited you to play somewhere with him, this is an offer you could hardly resist. my father did the audition in berlin. horst salomon, one of the best french horn players in germany, -had been pushed out of the berlin philharmonic. (doron salomon) huberman was convinced my father would be the new first horn in palestine. not only a gifted horn player, horst was also a dedicated weight lifter and wrestler. -he was a candidate for the '36 olympic games. but because he was a jew, they didn't let him go and wrestle there. he smelled the anti-semitism. and also the fact that he was not permitted -to participate in sporting competitions, he was convinced by huberman to come to palestine. (zubin mehta) the zionistic movement was really growing in those days, -especially because of the rise of nazism. look at the situation in central europe and germany in particular in 1935 and 1936. nobody wanted his countrymen... his jews. -nobody wanted them there. his solution was go to palestine. find a new home. (doron salomon) my father and his parents had very strong survival sense. -they somehow felt that there was a catastrophe coming. that's why they were so determined for him to emigrate to palestine. huberman helped in trying to get horst's parents to palestine as well, -but for unknown reasons they didn't make it... and they disappeared in the holocaust. in budapest at the time there was a very strong jewish community. a lot of the musicians were jewish, -a lot of the very good and foremost musicians were jewish. my father, lorand fenyves, was called a wunderkind. he was actually quite well known by 1934, i think. what was happening in germany gave possibilities -for anti-semitism to come out of the woodwork. one of the stories i know from my father is that he was in the hallway at the academy, and a bunch of hungarian nazi hoodlums -came storming into the academy... looking to catch a few jews. and the janitor happened to see my dad there and he grabbed him, threw him into the bathroom, -locked the door. there was no doubt in my father's mind that that janitor had saved his life. (thalia fenyves) huberman came to budapest in order to hear my father. -after hearing lorand fenyves play, huberman immediately knew he wanted him and sent a telegram inviting him to palestine. so he went to his father and said, i would really like to go to palestine. -and his father finally agreed on one condition - that he would take his sister with him as well. alice, who was four years older than my father, was also a violinist. -so my father went back to huberman with this and huberman said, okay, but you know i have a serious lack of violists. and my father said no problem, my sister also plays viola... -which she didn't, but she learned very quickly. (lorand fenyves) we both left within two weeks, and next day we were in palestine in rehearsal. in december of 1935, huberman was back in palestine -with a full concert schedule, and preparing for the orchestra's launch in the coming year. toscanini's agreement to conduct the opening concerts had opened many doors, and the british and american press were promoting the project. -as the nazis inspired bolder and more vicious anti-semitism, huberman saw the rising danger for jews, and felt an unknowable timeline was being drawn. (joshua bell) he was, at the time, one of the most famous figures in music. -he could have been promoting himself and playing as many concerts as possible and making a lot of money. he obviously had this mission. by 1936 he had dedicated himself completely -to the enormous challenges of building his orchestra, and resigned his classes at the music academy to the dismay of vienna's cultural elite. huberman invited his three master students in vienna to come to palestine to join the orchestra. -they would all stay in israel and raise families there. two of them became concert masters and david grunschlag also became a highly regarded soloist. luckily, for my family, nobody had to go through the ordeals of concentration camp, -thanks to huberman, because by getting my father out in 1936 to palestine not only saved his life, but also his sisters. my two aunts, who were 20 and 16, were stuck in vienna. -(rosi grunschlag) that's us toni and rosi - a few years apart. i know my brother tried to get us out but it was very, very difficult. -luckily my brother could take my mother. he could get a certificate for a parent but not for siblings. so with her being out, we felt freer because we would have never left her behind. -my sister toni tried to use all the opportunities that we might have had to get us out. any way possible. my aunt toni was running from embassy to embassy -to try to get permission to enter another country - and nothing helped. no one would take them. (rosi grunschlag) when we had no option anymore, a friend of huberman handed toni a piece of paper. -she said, here's huberman's hotel in budapest. he's currently there. write him quick. and so toni wrote him... dear maestro, you are our last hope. -please help us. two days time, we had a telegram from huberman. am on my way to london... will try what i can. -he arrived in london, and in six weeks we had student visas. he made it all happen. yes. somehow, god gives you extra courage. -you don't know where it comes from, but at that moment it gives you strength. when i think back what we endured during the 13 months that we were with hitler... -it's amazing. i don't know if i could do that over again. during the years of his search for musicians, huberman was able to help hundreds of other jews get out of nazi europe. -(amnon weinstein) if somebody approached him and asked him, please bring my aunt, please bring the husband of my second wife - i don't know what - everyone, he helped them. (gad lewertoff) he knew any jew he gets out of europe, -he's probably saved his life or at least spared him a lot of misery a lot of suffering. (leon botstein) musicians who could not get out of germany, or didn't want to get out of germany, were very eager to join together into an organization, -the judischer kultrubund, that would allow them to play and to continue an artistic life. kurt singer, a charismatic doctor and stage director had the grand idea -to create the kulturbund, theaters and orchestras that would employ out of work jewish artists to perform for jewish audiences. singer approached the nazi propaganda ministry with his idea soon after hitler took power in 1933. -the nazis saw that this would deflect rising international criticism and keep jews away from mainstream theaters. (leon botstein) the idea was, we jews are going to have our own cultural life -with the nazis around us until the nazis go away. of course, huberman didn't think they were going to go away. huberman thought, this is a form of collaboration, this isn't right. (huberman) i am totally against concerts in germany for us. -it's completely hypocritical. the whole idea is out of the question. but many jewish artists, who thought the nazis would be temporary, had few options for work, -and they followed singer. (leon botstein) who was singer? singer was a flourishing example of the wonderful life that an educated german jew had in berlin... -he was a physician, he was a choral conductor, he had becomes one of the directors of the berlin opera. who was going to give that up? when you looked at america, -which wasn't even open, much less palestine - what was one going to do? i wouldn't have emigrated. here i am, a middle-aged person with a good position - what am i going to do? -i'm trying to hold out and hope that it blows over. jews are long-suffering, they have humor through tears. the judischer kulturbund was a hope against hope -that they would survive these very evil people with as little damage as possible. at its height, singer's kulturbund employed 2,000 jewish artists and had 70,000 audience members all over germany. -huberman felt the kulturbund was dangerously misguided and he asked hans wilhelm steinberg, the conductor of the frankfurt kulturbund, to recommend his best players for his palestine orchestra. (singer) i have begged my good friend steinberg, -to stop placing ads for musicians. after all, we have no way to replace our jewish musicians here in germany. singer turned against any of his musicians who decided to go with huberman. -but in 1936 steinberg himself left to join huberman's new orchestra. some players did agree to uproot their families and go to palestine; but others, believing the kulturbund -would protect them, stayed, and most perished in the holocaust. (leon botstein) it's wrong to think that people living at the time should have or could have -either foreseen what was going to happen or could do something about it. most of the people were dependent, and those people singer helped. in september, 1941, -the nazis dismantled the entire kulturbund. realizing too late the futility of his whole endeavor, singer fled berlin but was captured by the nazis and sent to theresienstadt, where he died. -with the world's seeming indifference to the escalating nazi aggression towards the jews in germany, an outraged huberman published an open letter of protest. (huberman) since the publication -of the german racial ordinances, a document of barbarism, what have you 'real germans' done to rid humanity of this disgrace against a defenseless minority? -before the whole world i accuse you, you non-nazi german intellectuals, as those truly guilty of all these nazi crimes. published in newspapers around the world, the letter made huberman a public symbol for protest -alongside toscanini and the cellist pablo casals, but the outcry had no real effect. and few countries allowed jews to immigrate. so huberman's orchestra building also became a mission of rescue. -there were 70 chairs to fill for the palestine orchestra, but huberman had only 53 musicians signed from europe and the start date was fast approaching. huberman was also far short of the money needed to launch his orchestra. -he arranged a huge fundraising tour in america, playing 42 benefit concerts in 60 days across the states. (dorit straus) he was traveling all over the united states playing concerts, raising money, talking to everyone -that he could think of about his orchestra and saving the musicians. (huberman) it sounds incredible, but my work still increases. (ida ibbeken) mr. huberman insists -on doing everything for himself, and with his stress i worry for his health. the project has made him put his career on hold and for now we work only for the benefit of the orchestra. he made speeches, he wrote articles, -he met big people to get them interested in the project. he had this kind of attitude that he is a statesman also, not only a violinist. -(joshua bell) he obviously had a lot of conviction. but at a certain point huberman was playing a concert at carnegie hall and his violin was stolen. apparently the thief snuck into carnegie hall -and managed to get into huberman's dressing room, put the violin underneath his coat and just walked out of carnegie hall with the stradivarius. the connection between the violinist and violin -becomes almost like your soul mate... some people compare it to getting married; finding the right instrument is probably harder than finding the right wife. he formed much of his career on this violin, -so it must have been devastating to go back to your dressing room and find out that your soul, your voice is missing. no one would know for 50 years what happened to huberman's stradivarius. -(huberman) with the loss of my dear violin, on top of incessant pressure from this tour, i feel i am close to a breakdown. but i have no choice but to press forward. despite every fund raising effort, -huberman still needed $80,000 more to launch his orchestra. (huberman) dear professor einstein, because of german barbarity, palestine is provided with an otherwise unimaginable opportunity... einstein was the most famous jew in the world, -and huberman knew how powerful his presence at a fundraising dinner for new york jews could be. (huberman) i know that many people try to use your good name! and i wouldn't add myself to their number, but i feel this is an important event for you to join. -the einstein dinner at the waldorf astoria raised the final funds necessary to proceed... the orchestra was fully funded, the greatest conductor in the world was committed. and the first palestine symphony tour -was booked for the fall of 1936. there was still much work to be done, but huberman knew that his dream was coming to life. suddenly, unexpected violence from within palestine, threatened the whole project. -jewish immigration to palestine had tripled since 1933, and the arab high committee repeatedly asked the british to stop jewish immigration and the transfer of arab lands to jews. angered by the british response, -the arabs protested, called a strike, and finally a group of arabs stormed the town of jaffa, attacking jews. the british responded with military force, -and the most destructive and bloodiest riots in a decade began and continued for months. (horowitz) huberman, situation in palestine too volatile, too dangerous. -stop. everything must be delayed. it was painfully clear that moving 70 european musicians and their families to palestine at that time was impossible. (huberman) hard as it is to accept, -the beginning of the season in palestine must be postponed. we can only wait and see if the british response to the riots will accelerate or delay our hopes. toscanini graciously agreed to a postponement until december. -(huberman) my dear friends, given the political realities at this time, i regret that we are obliged to push back the assembly of the orchestra for two months. (willi wolf sprecher) honored professor huberman, -i received a contract starting august 1st as a horn player with the assurance that i would receive the immigration certificate in a few weeks. in response, i let my apartment go. now i receive news of a postponement. -and i'm staying with my children at my parents. but here i have no income and no prospects. is there anything you can do, mr. huberman, to help? with great respect, willi wolf sprecher. (huberman) i assure you this delay -does not affect our pledge for the creation of the orchestra. huberman felt responsible for all the musicians and their families whose plans were put on hold. but there were positive sides to the delay. it bought him time to complete the orchestra roster -and to continue to negotiate what had become an on-going problem - immigration. to move to palestine you needed a 'certificate' approved by the british and the jewish agency, which, because of the current situation, -had fewer to give. the head of the jewish agency, david ben gurion, was as unyielding as huberman, and he wanted 'workers' to come build israel. -he assumed huberman's fancy musicians would return to europe when it was safe to go back - a waste of a permanent certificate. citing the current arab conflict, the jewish agency now offered huberman -only temporary certificates for his musicians. (huberman) i was promised full rights for my musicians, and i will agree only to certificates that offer my players and their families permanent status in palestine. -you know how many people tried to have these certificates? do you know how many people tried to come to israel or to go to america or other places? in america they didn't want us. -in canada it was completely closed. to have a certificate, you have your life in your hands. you don't have a certificate, who knows if you will exist at the end of '45. the situation got even worse. -on august 28th huberman received another alarming cable from his lawyer in palestine. (horowitz) a government decision feared soon that will halt all immigration entirely. strongly suggest the musicians leave for palestine immediately, -whether they have valid certificates or not. (gina ginzburg) the arabs started rioting again, started killing people; so the british they wanted to stop all immigration. so mr. huberman, he didn't know what to do. -the whole project was at risk of collapsing. and huberman was distraught over the fate of his musicians and their families. up to now i felt i was on the edge of a nervous breakdown, but now i feel i'm in its center. -it seemed that three years of effort and sacrifice had come to nothing. but finally, some good luck. (huberman) at the last minute, the english did rescind this dreadful edict. -thank god. but despite their continuing negotiations, ben gurion still refused to give huberman any of his precious permanent certificates. huberman went to a higher authority. -he went to chaim weizman, president of the world zionist conference. (huberman) dr. weizman, as you know, i have been moving heaven and hell to establish a first-class orchestra in palestine. -the jewish agency promised certificates for the musicians, but now they are looking for ways out of the agreement. so i come to you, dr. weizmann, asking that you prevent this fiasco. (zeev steinberg) he knew exactly what he was doing. -that includes getting people to do some thing that otherwise they would not have done. chaim weizmann went to everyone whom he knew with some sort of influence in the home office. the days turned into weeks awaiting word. -the date for starting rehearsals was approaching and huberman still had chairs to fill, but without immigration certificates the whole enterprise was in doubt. finally, on august 11, 1936, -word came from the department of immigration the british high commissioner, sir arthur wauchope, through the intervention of weizman, had simply 'created' extraordinary-use permanent certificates to be given -by bronislaw huberman at his discretion. zeev steinberg: we don't know how he did it, but we know that he did that. permanent certificates in hand, -huberman's musicians from germany, austria, hungary, poland and the netherlands made their way to palestine. in the beginning of september, thoroughly exhausted, huberman could finally go to his home -in switzerland with ida, to rest. (bronislaw bullfinch) today many polish musicians left for palestine. all were very happy and cried tears of joy! (heinz schiefer) i was already 30, so i was too old to be engaged by an orchestra if i came back. -so it was like a goodbye to germany forever. (uri toeplitz) we were 10 or 12 musicians altogether... i traveled with polischuk, odnopossoff, zimmermann. heinrich sachs was there. and bernstein. -and from vienna, grunschlag and haftel... we gave a concert on the ship. it was, of course, a very good feeling to leave germany. we felt liberated because the pressure was gone. our final destination was haifa. -this was a little bit like the wild west, i guess. they came from budapest, they'd been in vienna, they'd been all over europe and here they get off the boat in haifa, -and... i mean, there's nothing. it's sand, a few buildings. they arrive in haifa and they had a bus that was waiting for them -and there was curfew by the british mandate. nobody was supposed to be outside, and they traveled with this bus to tel aviv under those types of conditions. (uri toeplitz) we tracked through arab country, the towns of djenin and tul karem. -when we finally reached the coast, we saw citrus plants and people on the streets. this was extremely nice. tel aviv was really a desert before they came. -can you imagine camels going on 5th avenue? i mean, that's how it felt. and then came the german jews, with suits and ties and funny hats, you know. there's a picture of my father -wearing gloves... in a suit, tie, perfectly put out in a hot country in the middle of the summer. leon botstein: -going to palestine was no picnic. a lot of people described the heat and the bugs and the desert and the difficulty. (itzhak perlman) they came because they believed in huberman. what he did was something that had to do -with leadership as well, to inspire others to come. (thalia fenyves) it was big deal coming to a land where the culture is almost non-existent, but everybody is very, very thirsty for it. there was a lot of excitement in the air, -a hustle and bustle. this was a country in the making. the first concert was set for december 26th. two months of rehearsals were to start november 1st under the baton of maestro steinberg. -william steinberg came before toscanini to prepare the orchestra. he was a young conductor in those days. steinberg was the conductor from frankfurt who had helped huberman find kulturbund musicians in germany. -the unexpected two-month delay actually helped things because it was so much cooler in november, but it was also very wet. torrential rains broke up rehearsals because of the terrible noise on the metal roof -and water dripped on to the musicians and their instruments. most of the musicians lived in north tel aviv near the sea and could walk with their instruments to rehearsals. (yoram kanyuk) ben yehuda street, -which led to where the orchestra played later, was not paved yet. after the rains, the dirt pathways quickly became mud. they practiced their hebrew, calling it botz. -all the members of the philharmonic came. they were so admired here that when they were walking the buses stopped and gave them a lift... so they were very liked here. it created kind of a commune within the city. -all the restaurants... the menus were in german. they wanted to create a home for themselves, which is very touching. deeply inside they were so hurt. -i think there was a lot of pain at what was happening in europe and a lot of fear for loved ones that stayed behind. (yoram kaniuk) it was hell in the beginning. and the music gave them pride, gave them a way of being themselves. -seventy-three musicians started the orchestra - 19 from poland, 16 from germany, 10 from austria, 4 each from hungary and holland, and some were selected from among the local players in palestine. twenty of these musicians had played first chair -in their respective orchestras, and none expected to come to this desert outback only to come down in musical status. you are talking about the best players in europe. and you know jewish people don't forget that - -so i know better than you and he knows better than him... and the fights are coming immediately. (huberman) bringing together 70 jewish musicians was hard enough; turning them from 70 self-confirmed soloists -into a disciplined orchestra seemed almost impossible. (dorit straus) it didn't end for huberman in getting the best musicians in 1936, because even though he got his orchestra, people left. some people found it too hard to be in palestine. -dora loeb, a violist from germany, was unhappy with the living conditions - and she was homesick. against huberman's advice, she decided to go back to germany, -where she joined a kulturbund orchestra. she played there until the ss shut down the entire kulturbund. dora was then deported by freight train to the riga concentration camp, where she disappeared in the holocaust. -polish violinist raphael broches came in '36 to join the orchestra. he asked huberman's permission to return to europe for only a few months to finish his phd. but his work was delayed -and he stayed longer than he intended. before he could return to palestine he was detained by the nazis. broches was murdered in the treblinka extermination camp. -as things got worse in europe, the musicians who were here, i think this pushed them harder. this made them say, this is so right. this is just the thing to do, -to save that culture - music. i think there was a sense of responsibility, that they absolutely had to pass it forward. (amnon weinstein) huberman brought here all the best concert meisters, -and they were the best teachers. one of the greatest things was the music school. huberman insisted that everyone teach, because we have to build a new generation of musicians. my father was a very dedicated teacher. -i mean, a lesson with him was like a war. you knew when it would start, but you never knew when it would finish. he used to take them to the seashore to play medicine ball, a sort of gymnastic that was very common in that day, -just to develop their chest muscles. in fact, i'm very proud to say that his pupil became the solo horn player of the israel philharmonic after my father retired. my teacher, horst salomon, -was a great teacher. and now in the orchestra my students are playing. a very nice and beautiful girl - plays so good. -horst salomon, the teacher of my teacher, he was a tough guy. and when the conductor asked the orchestra to play again and again, -he would stand up and say, maestro, we only have one lip! it's a very special orchestra for me, and being connected to the generations before - to mishori and to horst salomon - -makes me feel that i'm continuing the way. i'm filled with pride that there is such... a legacy behind my sister and me. my father, wolfgang, studied the violin as a young boy in germany. -and one day his teacher said to him, i'm very sorry; the new nazi laws prohibit me from teaching you as a jew. i'm very sorry, but i will not be able to teach you any more. -the teenager, my father, was sent by his mother to palestine. he was looking for someone to study with and he thought it would be very, very good to study with the concert master -of the palestine symphony orchestra. (mira haftel ross) wolfgang went to my father for violin lessons - i was very young - and lived with us and he basically became part of our family. my father then auditioned him for the orchestra, -and he became a member of the orchestra, where he stayed until his dying day. (amnon valk) he continued the tradition with my sister and myself, and we ended up in the same place - -the israel philharmonic orchestra. (zubin mehta) there is this evolution, the seeds of culture that huberman planted here, that he brought from central europe, we are reaping its rewards today, -and we will continue to reap its rewards huberman's choice for the orchestra's first home was an empty exhibition hall in north tel aviv - the levant pavilion. the orchestra had to compete with hammers -and saws as carpenters raced to have the hall ready. steinberg rehearsed the orchestra 60 times in the two months before toscanini's arrival. construction and the sounds of hammering were so loud, but we continued playing and rehearsing -until almost everybody had the worst headache. after weeks of this, steinberg finally lost his composure and in a rare outburst he stopped the rehearsal and stormed off the podium -to tell huberman this was impossible - he could not work under these conditions. huberman called the workers together, asking what overtime they would charge to do their renovations at night. -the carpenters told huberman they would charge nothing extra to work at night - all they wanted was tickets to the first season. (toscanini) on arriving in tel aviv i immediately received the most enthusiastic of welcomes. -it was as if their messiah had finally arrived. "toscanini fever." "what happened in these days" before the toscanini concerts was not enthusiasm, but psychosis. -no earthly being can solve the fundamental problem of how to distribute 2,000 tickets "to 100,000 people who desperately wanted one." (michal zmora cohen) the fact that toscanini was the first conductor of this orchestra -is a symbol, and it set the tone. it set the level. toscanini had traveled from milan through alexandria and finally onto tel aviv -and started rehearsing the same day he arrived. (musician) of course, everybody was prepared for big speeches, or for something; but he came on the stage and he didn't say anything, no greeting to us - nothing! -just two words: (toscanini) il brahms. (musician) we started to play the first movement, and he didn't interrupt once. (toscanini) i got to work the very same day i arrived. -and i found the orchestra had been well prepared by maestro steinberg. and with little effort i got to do what i wanted. for most of the musicians, playing with toscanini was the high point in their careers. -(musician) you never miss your cue when you play with toscanini. (second musician) his beat was like fate. during the first two movements, toscanini was quiet and seemed satisfied. but at the third movement, -he suddenly screamed in every language he knew. the orchestra knew he was finally treating them like pros. he was tough on them, but it made them happy. toscanini was colossal. he screamed his head off! -and i was there, i heard it. it was really terrible. the whole orchestra was afraid of him. his eyes were brutal. fire... -can you imagine? that must have been scary as anything. you didn't do anything, you followed everything he said. because he took all -these concert meisters, you need a super leader. you cannot have a leader that will be mild. the musicians were much relieved when toscanini was finally satisfied. he pushed them hard. -(musician) i was stunned. coming from germany, the berlin philharmonic was my ideal of perfection. not so for toscanini. (yelling) -(toscanini) don't play me russian marches! (second musician) communication was a problem. we didn't understand his italian, french, or english. and his german - useless. huberman offered a simple idea -to help him communicate. toscanini was rehearsing saltarello from mendelssohn's italian concerto. struggling to get the feeling he wanted, huberman suggested he dance for them. -the first toscanini concert in tel aviv on december 26th was the grandest cultural event yet seen in palestine. in the front row were high commissioner arthur wauchope, chaim weizmann, david ben gurion, golda meier, -and tel aviv's mayor dizengoff. while 3,000 lucky ones were waiting in their seats, hundreds stood outside hoping to catch some of the music. ()gina ginzburg) there was a friend of my mother, he told me he couldn't get a ticket. -and he said he didn't care where he sits, where he stands, he must hear some notes. and that's what he did; he went up on a roof and he heard it. -"women came in brightly colored gowns" and heavy jewelry, men in suits and ties. nobody was in a hurry. people took their time settling into seats, -"waving programs at their friends." the program: a rossini overture, brahms 2nd symphony, schubert symphony no. 8, and mendelssohn's midsummer night's dream. -huberman had refused to play because he wanted the orchestra to be the star. (yoram kaniuk) it was so beautiful. when they start i remember that... you couldn't hear a sound. -i was 6 years old when the orchestra opened. for me it was like magic. i was then 10 years old and the first time that i heard an orchestra - and it was a revelation. -this was like an earthquake in the positive meaning. it was like a breakthrough. i remember the feeling. the feeling was of victory. the concert was such a success -that everybody talked about it in the newspaper. this was the talk of the day. (huberman) the delirium that overtook this country as the first concerts conducted by toscanini became reality -can not be described in words. "anybody who went to the toscanini concert might have imagined he was in paris, london, or new york." "the cultural achievement of this little community of 400,000 jewish people is remarkable." -huberman and toscanini's goal was this: an orchestra of exiled jews, performing music at the very highest level, would send a clarion call to the world to raise a fist against anti-semitism, -and to fight nazism with the only weapon they had - their music. the concert was heard by millions - broadcast from palestine to cairo, on to london, then to nbc radio and all across america. -the last regular concert in tel aviv was on january 5th. and then came huberman's favorites: workers' concerts presented in jerusalem and haifa for 1/5th the regular ticket price. within eight days of toscanini's arrival, 15,000 people had seen rehearsals -and concerts in tel aviv, jerusalem and haifa. "germany's loss has been palestine's gain." mr. huberman has turned a great calamity "into a unique opportunity." (toscanini) oh, huberman, i am so sad -to leave this orchestra, these wonderful audiences! i must come back, i feel i must come back. toscanini did return once more to conduct in 1938, and in that series huberman played - -the only time he soloed with his orchestra. for the next ten years the palestine symphony toured throughout the middle east. and they played for the israeli troops during the 1948 war of independence -that ended with the world acknowledging the creation of the sovereign state of israel. (ben gurion) the state of israel is hereby created. this musical composition, hatikvah, is declared our anthem. -that day, the palestine symphony played hatikvah, the hope, as the anthem of the state of israel for the first time, and ben gurion re-named huberman's symphony, the israel philharmonic orchestra. the 29-year-old leonard bernstein -had conducted the orchestra during the '48 war, and a musical love affair began between this young american genius and israel's newly named symphony. for the next 20 years -bernstein took the orchestra everywhere and made it one of the most famous in the world. (joshua bell) growing up, hearing about huberman as a child - the first time i came to play with the israel philharmonic was very special for me. -i had just acquired the huberman violin, the violin that was stolen from huberman, so there was a lot of whispering at my first rehearsal, so i felt welcomed by that connection. missing for 50 years, -the violin was finally returned to the world, and joshua bell now plays it. the fact that he played on this and his greatness and all the great things he did, it adds to the magic of getting to play on this every night. -what can i say... huberman - he was a dreamer. it was a dream. (ivry gitlis) he brought all these wonderful musicians to this god-forsaken country, -at that time anyway - half a desert - and created one of the great orchestras of the world, in one piece. that's something you never heard of, and never been done again. -at that time it was life or death. he believed in the music and the power it has to unite us as people, as a society. his legacy was to bring a very strong culture, and at the same time, to help all these jews. -out of all the ones who were exterminated it's a small number; but for those who lived it's a very big number. i can only say that i am here because of huberman -and what he did personally for my family. so i owe a debt of gratitude that i don't know how to repay. what he did with this orchestra, this is our victory. he saved our culture. he brought back the seed -for all this jewish cultural life of today. and this is something that, i can only say that this was his fight against nazism. previously on two and a half men... zoey, will you do me the honor of becoming -zoey hyde tottingham-pierce-schmidt? no. i'm sorry. i can't do it. i need an answer. -there's someone else. i like that red dress on you. i feel like a bull. i want to charge. speaking of charging, did you bring your wallet this time? -the last two times were honest mistakes. and i fully intend to pay you back. oh, that's just great, justin. if your mom says it's bath time, by all means take a bath. meanwhile the free world is falling into the hands of cyber-terrorists. -you okay? yeah. my sniper's got to get ready for sixth grade picture day tomorrow. man. oh, you guys look nice. -oh, thanks. we're going out to dinner. want to join us? no, i got a burrito in the microwave. okay, enjoy. -oh, you did take the foil off of the, uh... i'll get my coat. isn't that your wallet? oh, uh, yes, that's, uh, uh, i-i-i-i put it there so i wouldn't forget it. -== sync, corrected by elderman == i'm really glad we did this. i've been playing with kids i met on the internet for too long. now that i say that out loud, i'm really glad we did this. mm! -i'll get this. i'll get it. oh, okay, i guess i'm really gonna get this. thanks, al. oh, it's my pleasure. -are you crying? what? no, no. i have, uh, i have allergies. it's probably the dust from opening his wallet. -damn it. what? it's zoey and her new boyfriend. i am so sorry. this is tough after what she did to you. -come on, let's just get this over with. he didn't deserve it. he gave her everything. he actually has things to give. hi, zoey. -walden. hi. lyndsey. hi. alan. -pfft! um, this is my friend, peter. peter. hi. nice to meet you. -cheers, mate. "cheers, mate. we hosted the olympics." this is a bit awkward. why is this awkward? -oh, yes, that's right, i remember. because you ruined my best friend's life. i'm-i'm sorry. nice to meet you. what you did to him was wanton and reprehensible. -all right, keep moving. jezebel! if it makes you feel any better, he didn't like you before. how you doing? you okay? -oh, yeah, i'm fine. i mean, my heart's racing but, you know... i was talking to walden. yeah, i guess. i mean, i thought seeing her with somebody else would be the end of the world, but i'm really okay with it. -you're a better man than i am. we all know that, alan. yeah, i guess what i'm saying is it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. i mean, clearly alan has some unresolved issues, but i think i'm ready to move on. i can definitely help you there. -uh, where you going with this, sweetie? i have a ton of friends who would die to go out with you. really? oh, yeah. that's true. -she has some of the hottest friends you can imagine. uh, that you can imagine, not that i would. i mean, why would i? you're the hottest of them all, you know? so what's your type? -i don't know if i have a type. i mean, i like brunettes, but well, i married a redhead and i've dated some blondes. so i guess what i'm saying is i'm pro-hair. well, in the upper deck not necessarily around the dugout. ah, interesting. -if you're gonna go with a baseball reference, i would've gone with "on the mound." um... they all have hair in the appropriate places. what else? i don't know. -i like a girl who's smart, i like a girl who's funny, i like a girl who's not gonna leave me for another guy. oh, oh, and no one who wears those big furry boots with shorts or mini-skirts. you're either hot or you're cold. -take a stand, ladies. i'll take care of it. so, walden, as i told you, jennifer is my pilates instructor. yeah, pilates. well, you're certainly whipping lyndsey into shape. -not that you need it. not that i was looking. not that you're listening. oh, can i take a picture of you? okay. -uploading photo to wall. "check out my hot date." smiley face. lol, right? so, pilates, that's all about strengthening the core, right? -hm? omg. cat in a bow tie riding a skateboard. retweeting. guy in a bow tie right here. -oh, good news, one person already likes our date. unfriend. so what looks good to you? actually, i'm not going to eat. nothing? -no, i'm doing a master cleanse. so i haven't eaten solid food in two weeks. dawn, you might have mentioned that when i told you we were all going out to dinner. no, it's no problem; you guys eat. -this stuff just flushes you right out. well, i guess it's worth it if it rids the body of all those toxins and impurities. right, and the stuff that comes out of you. i swear i found a barbie head that i swallowed in the fifth grade. good thing you didn't swallow her malibu beach house. -ouch. well, whatever you're doing, it's working. you look great. thank you. i also inject myself with the urine of pregnant women. -yeah, i don't think i'm gonna eat either. it's got a hormone in it that helps you lose weight. which is ironic because pregnant women pack on the pounds. i will never be fat. or married. -i can't believe you created and sold your own company. you must be incredibly smart. i don't know, i think it's more luck and timing. i think it takes a little bit more than luck and timing to make $1.4 billion. somebody did their research. -i'll bet women are after you all the time. i mean, you could look like him and they'd still be after you. i mean... you know what these women are thinking, don't you? "i mean, is this guy gonna ask for a pre-nup?" -'cause theoretically, your alimony payments would run 75, $100,000 a month at least. and that's without child support. you're good at math. you know, i never thought i wanted kids, but with the right person, -i could see myself having an entire litter. and i could see myself having a vasectomy. when she's on her meds, she's actually lots of fun. i am. hey. -hey. just got off the phone with lyndsey. she's got another friend. she says this one's perfect. no, no more women, alan. -wait, they were all women, right? in the eyes of the law, yes. the olympics, eh. look, i know some of the dates didn't work out. didn't work out? -one of them used her roast chicken to show me where she was probed by aliens. uh, but you have to admit the chicken was out of this world. you do know lyndsey and i are just trying to help. yeah, i do, and i appreciate it. but i think i was wrong. -i just don't think i'm ready to date right now. so you're giving up? no, i'm not giving up. i just, i want to change my pattern, you know? my whole life i've jumped from one woman to the next. -i thought that was just because every time you jumped, another woman slid in under you. well, there's that. but let's face it, alan, i went straight from my mother's house to being married to bridget; from bridget to dating zoey, and now i'm trying to go from zoey to a bunch of starving, crying, gold-digging, crazy-ass bitches. -hey, if it weren't for those women, i'd still be a virgin. and there'd be no reality tv stars. look, i'm just gonna be alone for a while. and if the real thing comes along, i'll know it. -hm, that's true. you know, i can still remember the exact instant that i knew lyndsey was the one. how'd you know? uh, she said, "i give up. you're the one." -hey, walden. hey. you here by yourself? yes. i'm alone and i plan to stay that way. -oh, well, if you change your mind, there's a bachelorette party in the corner with a couple of drunk and bitter bridesmaids. fish in a barrel. that's good to know, but not tonight. all right. what can i get you? -i'll have a beer. coming up. excuse me. can i have your nuts? what? -your nuts. thank you. i'm rose. hi, rose. i'm... -walden, i know. i heard the bartender say "hey, walden." i mean, how else would i know your name? it's nice to meet you, rose. you too, walden. -i prefer real books. some people do. you know why i do? because if you use this to fix a wobbly table it costs you $800? no, you can't hide a gun in an ipad. -no, i guess you can't. sorry. i'll leave you alone. thanks. oh, my god, are you okay? -nut. i can't breathe. okay, don't panic. oh. thank you. -you saved my life. can we get a glass of water over here? and i'll have a martini. all right, i'm getting ready to leave. do you need anything before i go? -mm, actually, if you don't mind... just making small talk, zippy. hey. hey, how was your night? great. -in fact, i met a girl. of course you did. i hate you, but i hate me more. this girl's really interesting. actually, i think you know her. -her name is rose. see ya. wa- rose? crazy rose? -she's not crazy. and you know what? name-calling is cruel. how would you like it if somebody called you old alan, or cheap alan, or loser alan? somebody does! -did rose tell you she was stalking my brother? actually, she told me everything. you know, she was in love with him, and i get it, when you're in love with someone, love makes you do crazy things. no, crazy makes you do crazy things. we all have skeletons in our closets. -uh, yes, but in her case, they may be actual skeletons. you know what? she told me you were gonna do this. of course she did. she's devious and deceptive. -she's probably listening to us right now. hey, rose! how you doing? alan, calm down. i had a conversation with the woman. -i'm not marrying her. i don't even know if i'll ever see her again. oh, you will, trust me. her face will be the last thing you see before you black out from the chloroform. rose? -oh, walden. hi. hi. wait a minute. you're not stalking me, are you? -good one. no, i stop here every day on my way to work. it's kind of a ritual. really? there is no way i would ever have known that. -do you mind if i join you? please. how can i say no to the man who saved me from choking on his nuts? i told alan that we met. boy, did you call that one. -oh, let me guess. at some point did he say, "she's probably listening to us right now. "hey, rose! how you doing?" -it's like you were there. but i wasn't. well, he is very suspicious of you. he thinks you have some kind of plan. are you suspicious of me? -i'm more curious than suspicious. good, because that's my plan. does your plan include having dinner with me? oh, gee, i don't know about that. -why not? you live in charlie's old house, there's alan... lots of baggage. none of that stuff has anything to do with us. that's true. so, what do you say? -dinner? okay. to dinner. it'll be nice to go out with someone normal for a change. hello, alan. -rose. you've got a lot of nerve coming to this house. as much nerve as you have still living in it? touché. wow. -this place looks fantastic. don't act like you haven't seen it before. i know what you're up to. oh, really? what am i up to? -all right, i don't know specifically what you're up to. but walden is my best friend, and i will not let you hurt him. and he's very lucky to have a friend like you, given what he's been through. which you know because you've been spying on us. j'accuse! -no. i know because he told me. he's very fond of you, alan. you finally made a friend; don't screw it up. -oh, you're good. i'm totally confused right now. ah, there she is. hi, walden. are you two playing nice? -well, i am. i don't know what she's up to, but i know it ends with the audience yelling, "don't go in the cellar!" you're funny. he thinks i've hatched some nefarious plot. -are you after my money? no, you're thinking of alan. are you planning on cloning me and running my doppelganger for president, so you can be the puppet master of the nation? guilty. better get a sample right now. -i get it-- hair, dna, the whole... just stop worrying. don't you have somewhere you need to be? well, as a matter of fact, lyndsey and i are going to the movies. -have a good time. oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? watch yourself, buddy. he means well. i know. -can i pour you a glass of wine? yeah, that'd be great. all right. aha! actually, i just forgot my keys. -and your wallet. i shouldn't have eaten that whole tub of popcorn. i'm gonna be gassy all night. you know it's gonna take more than a bloated belly to put a muzzle on mr. pokey. what was that? -i don't know, but i've got a bad feeling about this. ugh... i've got a bad feeling about this. walden? what? -i'm coming in. don't worry, buddy. i told you she was nuts. get out of here! what? -get out of here. i'm having the best sex of my life. oh, hi, alan. how was the movie? it was... -wait, is that a leaf blower? that's not what they call it in amsterdam. oh. hi, jake. rose? -! what are you doing there? i'm dating walden. i should've seen that coming. how's the army treating you? -how'd you know i was in the army?

i don't know. what? i want you to get off with me. okay, okay. -just follow my lead. guys, we're gonna get off together. gentlemen, i'm just confused about one thing. now, you got me out of bed, you put me on a plane, rolled out the red carpet for, what was it, 31?

whoo! sounds great, charlie. -good. well, frank, i'm a little confused about one thing. what's that? who pays for all this? what do you mean, who pays for it? -the company pays for it. all right, well, then here's my second question. what does atwater make? what do you mean, like, how much money does the company make? oh, no, i mean what do we make? -i don't follow. we make money. no, i know we make money. i mean, what do we create? we create wealth. -no, no, i mean, what do we build, what do we design, you know?

brian lefeve. who? brian lefeve. -the wallet they found? holy shit! yeah. he was probably there to see me. dennis has been going around pretending to be him, and stringing along the wheeler guys. -this is great, charlie. we keep the wheeler guys off our asses, and we fix atwater! huh? good move. right? -pretty good. oh, nakashori's here. yeah, but this is... hello, mr. nakashori. ah, welcome, welcome. -you bring us a great honor to join with us, and we have many a naked woman and the fish of pleasure for you... charlie, what are you doing? what are you talking broken english for? i thought they could understand me better if i... no, no, no. -sit down. let's eat some sushi and we'll talk business later. enjoy yourself. so... a few interesting facts about our city. -uh, there's been an abundance of crow eggs all around philly. uh, and crows seem to be getting bigger. by the year and the day, even. and their eggs, of course, are getting bigger as well. perhaps our companies, with this information, could find a way to create some products off these new... -charlie, charlie... excuse us. charlie, come here, listen to me. look at me. yeah. -you're fired. what? you're fired. why? because you're not getting it. -it's not sinking' in. i don't get it? no. where did you get that awesome insider info from, about brian lefeve, huh? -that was pretty big. well, that was good, charlie. that's good. but you keep talking about products and quality and-and making things... i'm sorry. -you're out. well, thanks for the insider info, mac, but that did not work. frank canned me. he did? yeah! -what a dick! you know dennis wouldn't even listen to my business ideas? are you serious? i'm brimming with all these great business ideas. oh, tell me about it. -i don't know what to do with it. oh, my god, i pitched so many good ideas... or i tried to, at least. and frank shoots 'em down, 'cause he doesn't care about... i wish we could go into business together, you know? -that would be... that would be good, it would make sense. yeah, well, i feel like you and i... you and i understand each other. we click, you know? i have to warn you, though, that it's all about the product for me. -are you serious? yeah. that's what i was saying to frank the entire time. that's what people care about, is the product. it's all about the product, right? -he only cares about money. money has nothing to do with it. it's about a... oh... you and i are on the same page. -i know, we're always clicking with... and we have insane business savvy, and i feel like... excuse me. i need to speak to the owners. yeah, that's us. -yeah, yeah. does the name brian lefeve mean anything to you guys? okay, lefeve, enough. we took you out the yacht, we took you to the zoo, we took you to that massage parlor and paid to have them jerk you both off. the meeting's about to start. -we need to know, are you going to sell or not? guys, we are almost there. i promise you, we are so close. oh, okay! all right, i want to welcome all of you atwater investors, and especially our controlling shareholder, mr. brian lefeve. -thanks, frank. oh. thank you. all right. i'm very excited about your passion for the company, so let's get right down to business. -not so fast! there's something you all need to know about atwater! prepare to have your minds blown. we got a video. boom! -huh? what up? are you ready for the best idea ever? do you have money? do you want even more money? -well, guess what? we've got a great idea for you. i... no, i told you not to... stay out of my peripheral through the whole two, one. fight milk! the first alcoholic, dairy-based protein drink for bodyguards... -by bodyguard! i drink it every morning so i can fight like the crow. just get out of the way. there we go. it's all about the product shot. -where do i stand? don't do the whole... i wanted for them to see the whole... fight milk! crow's egg! -milk! made fresh. by bodyguards. and charlie. what up? -watch as profits soar high as a crow. watch your profits soar high as a crow. ow. sorry. wait, i thought we said i was gonna... -profits... yeah, go with your right. to the right hand. uh, anyway, who wants to invest? so what's this got to do with atwater? -oh, nothing. no, um, we just didn't want to lead with the atwater news because we figured you wouldn't stick around to watch the video. so what's the news? oh! yeah, right. -well, that's not brian lefeve! this is brian lefeve. yeah. yeah, apparently he came to the bar to talk to frank, and i didn't recognize him from his picture in his wallet, but i did recognize it when i saw that dead face in the morgue. yeah, i was like, i remember that dude, yeah. -yeah. he came to the bar, and i remember he had to take a piss. yeah, he was having a couple drinks and then... but charlie was in the bathroom cleaning it out. i was working. -i'm like, "dude, take it out to the alley." and then i guess he's out in the alley, he comes back in, he forgot his wallet. mac's like, "id please." yeah, he doesn't get in without an id. that's just the rule. -the guy's got no id, so now he's roaming around the alleyway looking for his wallet. crackhead comes up to him, says, "hey, man, give me your money." and the guy's like, "i can't, i got no money." and he's like, "bullshit." he got stabbed a bunch around the abdomen and... uh, kind of bled out and sort of died. -why do you got his finger? oh. well, the whole finger thing is... this was a miscommunication. this is a stupid thing, man. -this guy here... he's like, "dude, get a fingerprint." and i heard, "get a fingertip." and i chopped his finger off really quick and then i'm like, "is this what you want?" -he starts screaming, you know. hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. if brian lefeve is dead... then who the hell are these people? just a couple of people who totally got off, bro. what? -you did? mm... are you serious? mm-hmm, yeah. just... during this? -big time, yeah. oh, yeah, i got off a couple times when we were watching the video presentation. then when he called me out for not being brian lefeve? whoo, that got me big time. that did it? -oh, man, did i get off. yeah, and then he showed the finger. that was the big one. a dead finger got you off. that was the climax, really. -i am so confused. oh, my god, it was amazing. it was mostly sexual. god damn you, okay? you know what? -i could've gotten some cash out of these men. i could've gotten a free pair of shoes, but no, you said, "hang in there, i'll help you get off, i'll help you get off, dee. i'll show you how to do it." and then you leave me all on my own to try and just get off all by myself without even... i did everything that i could. -i don't understand why you couldn't get off. it's not my fault. some women just don't know how. what? ! -i don't know what it is. you know? sometimes it's only the guy who gets off. well, look, i don't know what the hell's going on over there. but i can tell you something, that there is something really, palpable, wonderful going on over here. -i love this company. i love it more than life. i built this company with these hands. built it from the ground up. this is a comp... -excuse me. hello? it's done? oh. good. -right. all right, that's it. it's over, you can all go. the company's gone. what are you talking about? -i stripped the company, sold it to the chinks, and they shut it down. in a sense, you're all fired. out. you can all go. thank you, and good-bye. -get out, get out, go. frank, whoa, whoa. i... dude, i do not understand. i thought you loved the company. i do. -but not more than money. and i just made a shitload of it. you get it? yeah. see, charlie? -speaking of which, tell me more about this crowtein. d'oh! == sync, corrected by elderman == d'oh! so what are we doing here? -what, is it the thing where the family runs in and sits down? that's it? we flew you in and put you up for that? i, i think we're done here. paul. -(playing the simpsons theme song) lisa simpson, your actions have brought devastation upon this town, and all because of your selfish desire to be accepted by others. leave her alone. that's my only talking daughter. lethal inject her on the electric chair. -bart, it's okay to say that at home but not in court. take it back. withdrawn. now, lisa, tell your side of the story, and use your big voice. well, it all started a couple of months ago. -your honor, i'd like to request that everyone in the court picture in their minds what the witness is describing. i'll allow it, but no flights of fancy. like all too many stories about my family, it began with somebody watching television. well, mcbain, you certainly picked a bad time to come out of retirement. i hope you have a cobra plan. -you are suffering from a reptile dysfunction. down in front. damn it, why do kids have heads? homie, stop watching the movie in the other people's car. oh, but i'm invested in the characters. -you'll miss the turnoff to the fancy new mall. i make my own turnoffs. and that, kids, is how you stick it to the towne centre real estate investment trust. no, no, no. whoo-hoo! -someone thinks we're leaving. i'll wave them off. no, no, no, no, let's see how long we can keep 'em waiting. everyone act like we're buckling up to go home. homie. -marge, if you were married to da vinci, you wouldn't tell him not to da vinch. damn it, are you leaving or not? ! leaving? why on earth would you think that? -we totally wasted his time. and ours. this place is so great. when the trolley hits you, it doesn't even hurt. you try it, maggie. -ooh, condos. lenny, do you live here? yeah, i just moved in. i have a drippin' dots for breakfast every morning; at lunch, i get a massage in front of strangers; -and then i spend the afternoon browsing cell phone skins. ever get tired of those dancing waters? (strauss' "the blue danube" playing) the day i moved in. so what are we all going to do together? -actually, we just came to do some shopping as a family. oh, no worries. mr. mall can make his own excitement. give me one doll from every time period, and set me up for a tea party in a private room. lenny, you asked me to stop you from coming back in here. -let me help you. you can help me by giving me ellis island emily. hi, dear, i'm your uncle lenny. i'm going to buy you an all-new wardrobe, fix your teeth, send you to the best schools, and you're going to hate and resent me for it 'cause you're an american now. i was hanging on to these gift cards as investments, but then half the companies went out of business. -better sort those out. aw... aw... d'oh! do-over. -hmm. whoo-hoo! unspool it into my mouth till that card is at zero. draw the curtain. sir, as a complexion scientist, -i must advise you against using any more. this is the most powerful hydrator we sell. less blathering, more slathering. hey! watch it! -yo, bart dude. can i get a ride to the food court? hop on. ho-ho! hmm. -i kind of want to create my own thing. do you sell any just plain sets? no. we do all the imagining for you. well, i'll just buy one of these and build something different. -you do and you'd better build yourself a lawyer. miss simpson, does the court really need to hear everything that happened in every store your family visited? trust me, i've left a lot out and cleaned up the swears. anyway, i ran into some schoolmates and thought they might be friendly. that's what kids do, right, hang out at the mall together? -but when i went over... hi, guys, what are you doing? duh, having feathers woven into our hair. those girls are snotty and shallow. tell them off. -can i join you? lisa, how can we put this? you're the reason no one wears silly bandz anymore. wha...? they, they don't? -what the...? enough. i don't trust this place. where are the cashiers? huh? -oh. huh? oh. yeah, the lightest, most desirable computer in the world for the next three weeks: the mapple void. i'll take it, provided you charge me for services that google offers for free. -i already have. sweet. this computer is so great. i'm watching the latest sofia coppola movie at 20x speed to make it seem like a normal movie. i think it just froze. -oh, no, no, that bird just moved. uh-oh, a draggy backpack. i have no friends. aw, sweetie, hey, why don't you make friends with my new computer? okay. -let me just finish downloading the complete works of shakespeare. now who's the greatest writer of all time? i'd have more friends if i knew what people liked, but i won't know what people like unless i'm their friend. it's a conundrum. if you want friends, don't use words like "conundrum." -co-what-drum? jimbo heard me say it. i'm dead. hmm. it's easier to be friends with lots of people online than one person in person. -what if i started an online meeting place where all are equal and i am the undisputed center? how's this for a conundrum? it's not really a conundrum. sit at my feet and i will elaborate. so, to summarize, your honor, lisa simpson created this "social network" -because she had no friends. no, that is not true. i... may i remind you you're under oath? all right already. -i had no friends. with a attitude like that, i wouldn't be her friend. life is too dang short. so, since i had no friends, i assembled a motley crew of the friendless to help me construct my social network. did we become friends? -no. as the ceo of springface, i want you all to have fun as you write source code until you fall asleep at your consoles. delightful. here's my favorite computer game: angry nerds. -nelson, is there any way i could be your friend? the only way i would be your friend is if i could click a box under your picture saying "accept friendship request from." nelson, you've just given us the template for our site. i don't care. -if we don't move, his odds of getting us both are 374 to one. ooh-oo-ooh, ooh. bye. now, to skip ahead, your diabolical plan was an instant success. i never said it was diabolical. -withdrawn. this social network quickly unified the disparate children of springfield unified. oh, i just got invited to make out with shauna. see? that went out to 200 guys. -and seven girls. oh... santa's little helper's friends with snowball two? now i've seen everything. ha, all my friends have birthdays this year. -i just un-friended skinner doggone it. i'm less popular than the hornet's nest in the gym. you said you were getting rid of that nest. we trade the honey for chalk and yardsticks. -hornets make honey? better than wasp honey, not as good as bee. is this how you talk on dates? i wish my dates were this interesting. hit refresh. -hit refresh. i have a thousand friends. and only eight of them are milhouse. a thousand kids? if you could get each of them to send you a dollar, you'd be a millionaire. -well, it's not just kids using springface, it's moms like me, marge. wait a minute, grownups are on this? yeah, look. we've got to thank you, kiddo. we've gotten so much more action since we signed up and used this picture of ourselves. -that's not you. you can see our reflection in the sunglasses. wow, i've created something incredibly popular. and i've created something that created something incredibly popular. and i created an alcoholic hippo. -you never showed it to me. a stupid alcoholic hippo. i still want to see it. there is no hippo. then why did you say it? -'cause you're the hippo. are you just saying that 'cause you don't want me to see the hippo? i don't have a hippo! and so, this so-called "springface" spread from the world of children to adults. -man, this web site makes talking drunk to my wife so much safer. i am sitting here... zero sheets to the wind counting the moments to closing time when i can stumble home to you. another round, moe. uh-oh, did i type that? delete! -delete! hm, typing "delete" does not delete. it is gratifying to see all of you bowing in prayer, the light of god shining on your faces. uh-oh, bernice hibbert keeps "liking" bumblebee man'sos. that's how it starts. -tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk. why did i make this church a wi-fi hotspot? if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. let's see, which muppet am i? beaker? -hm, i guess that's fair. friend, friend, awaiting reply, friend... sherri? terri? hopscotch? -double dutch? ringolivio? anyone? oh, i have a thousand friends, and i feel more alone than ever. whee! -i am trying to set a mood here. whee. so, to sum up, lisa's social network turned into the biggest internet failure since... well, there've been so many. -"ask jeeves," anyone? and so springface became too big to control, just like the 60-foot baby in my self-published novel, the 60 ft. baby. order it online now, while you can still cheat the government on sales tax. -as i was saying, springface was used in ways i never expected. thanks for springfacing me your head cleaver, bart. check this out: i'm hiding a bomb in this pile of corpses, so when kearney loots their ammo, he gets a face full of ass shrapnel. -damn, i got ass-shrapped! what the...? ! that idiot cut me off. i'm gonna run his plates, find out who he is, then change his springface profile picture to a shot of a monkey. -(chuckle get that, marge? a monkey! homer, watch the road. right. status update: -homer... is... watching... the... dislike! dislike! somebody call 911! -i don't know how to use the phone on my phone. hey, did you guys get my picture of the fire? yeah, i did; nice grab. i didn't get it yet. -yeah, funny how that works. lisa simpson, can you give us any reason why the city should not force you to shut down your site? i know it's awful and insular and caused 35 deaths, but i had friends. four digits of friends! i had a friend in common with malcolm gladwell. -he friends everybody. fine. i'll shut down the site. time to get a life. we don't need your crummy web site. -we can make anything into guns. lisa. lisa! want to play marco polo with us? we just realized you don't have to play in a pool. -you really want me? no. we want your dad. marco. come on, lisa. -polo! fish out of water. hey, winklevosses. you're gonna lose yet again. you should see the expression on your faces. -oh, wait, you can. they're fat, they smoke, they started training a week ago. why can't we pull away? because we can't stop concentrating on that $65 million facebook settlement, which somehow wasn't enough for us. even though we were rich in the first place. -so long, you big babies! hope you like the taste of silver! help us, larry summers! come on, wonder twin! pull! -and now, for a simpsons - "show's too short" story. once there was a young rascal named bart. this lad was trouble from the very start. when it came to mischief, he had a black thumb. it didn't hurt that his daddy was dumb. -and when it came to best friends, it was milhouse who picked him. sometimes the sidekick, sometimes the victim. then one day at school engulfed in ennui, bart dreamed of wrapping the place in t.p. so off to the discount store they did skulk. -with the evil intent of buying in bulk. they went to the school and put up a ladder. only to wait for milhouse's bladder. all that evening they unfurled with delight. and soon the school was covered in white. -the mischievous boys had done their best. when an eagle approached, needing a nest. they tried to escape with struggles and squirms. but all they got was a diet of worms. there they remained to this very day. -so now you know, pranks do not pay. simpson! == sync, corrected by elderman == (the simpsons theme performed by the tiger lillies) shh! -joni, do you remember a time... when you were happy with your family? you remember any? nah. i don't remember. -sorry. how would you like your mom to act when she's at home? like right now? she should just be, like, a mom. what does that mean? -just a mom? i don't have anyone to compare her to. if you could wish anything? i guess she'd want what's best for me. you can't say i don't do that. -i've tried my best. almost 18 what the fuck? you're here already. hi. -hi. we were five guys. we were tight. mostly. i think we had pretty normal families... -normal problems and normal feelings. there was nothing we couldn't get over. hey, come join us! come. at least give us your numbers. -man, that was cold. this isn't my day. there's more where they came from. karri's a mama's boy. it always takes him time to warm up to things. -guys. stop fooling around. his mom is okay. kind of a tight-ass, but okay. when karri fucks up, he always panics... and then he fucks up even worse. -when i met him, he 'd just learned to ride a bike. he rode it right into me. but he didn't run off. he stood there with blood on his face... and said he was sorry. isn't the game over yet? -wait. the goalie makes a mistake. fuck! fucking monkeys! which? -both. fuck. the guys can't lose focus now. or else the memories from both the moscow and finland games resurface. 4 - 7. -i honestly don't get it. isn't ice hockey about one team winning? losing is no one's fault, right? sure, it's no one's fault that finland loses every time. let's cheer for the winners. -go, sweden, go! then we'll cheer for the losers. go, finland, go! then i'll put on my mascara, and we'll go. stop talking about ice hockey. -you know nothing about it. how do you know? i dated an ice hockey player once. oh, and that makes you an expert? who was it? -i don't remember names. he played for raision kiekkoseura. the year was '83. that team sucks! this game is from 2003. -it's 2010. what's the use of listening to old games? the year makes no difference. finland always loses. our last driving lesson starts now. -i've been waiting for this moment. i won't have to see you anymore. right back at ya. check the traffic. right and left. -move your head. that's it. but you have to anticipate. breathe out, will you? pull up. -when did you get home? at around 8 or 9. stop lying. i was up at 11 and you weren't home. in the morning. -morning! again! how many drinks did you have? a couple. how many drinks? -four, five, six. i don't know. beers? and some liqueur. what's the difference? -get out of the car! fuck! look. zero. like i said. -do it again. i didn't see you blow. take the old route. again? we'll do it till you learn. -when i get my license... if you do. if i do... can i borrow the car? not for driving the guys around. right. -turn left. you can borrow it if i can come along. keep your car. i'll buy a motorcycle. i just read in the paper that a biker crashed into a guardrail. -you can drive your girlfriend. what? that's equal rights? what's the difference between guys and girls? guys like to show off. -right. stay close to the side. yeah yeah. that's it. what are you doing? -looking. at them? no, at the traffic. at those little hotsy totsies? no, the traffic. -let's show the hotsy totsies how we drive. what are you doing? don't ever date blondes. they're nothing but trouble. right. -they're all sluts. who? blondes. just kidding. sometimes i think i'm a bad man. -what song is this? what song? this slow one. it's as fast as the original. this is the original. -no, it's not. yes, it is. no, it isn't. i haven't heard any other version! focus on the road. -turn your head. "turn your head." and then we'll go. why are you driving in circles? you didn't tell me to turn. -turn left! the old route i can't turn left here. oh, c'mon. yes, you can. -i said the old route, so turn left here. then you should tell me to turn right. you have to learn to think for yourself. fine. we'll drive in circles then. -you gotta be kidding me! you have to use your head! you're the teacher. say "turn right." no! -say it! no! fine, we'll drive in circles then. you have one message. hi, it's jarska. -i got a letter saying i owe 5 euros in child support. i can put it into your account if you send me the number. well... i guess that's all. bye. -turn right here. what? five minutes. i need to be in town at 3. it won't take long. -don't you have enough of those? you can never have enough. you'll have to assemble those yourself. that's what i always do. what the hell? -it was an accident. you'll never get a license, shithead. your car is fine. fine? it's totally fine. -look at it! try to behave. be a man. you fuckin' try to behave! alright? -how many pairs did you bring? enough. did you buy them small again? i just need to stretch them a bit. tonight is the taxi drivers' federation party. -are those the lubutubes? "lubutubes..." whatever. "louboutins." they're okay. -when i was a kid, i got new clothes for the end of the school year and the christmas party. everything else... i forgot my sunglasses. ...i had to pay for myself. -here we go again. your childhood was so hard. i don't mean that you should have it hard. besides, i just bought you... a pair of super-expensive jeans and a cap. - "a cap." you think you're the one with the bad childhood. -my dad was an alcoholic. mine was violent. mine was on drugs. you told me. we had to run and hide from him. -you didn't have to, thanks to me. thanks to you, i never saw my dad. i wish i hadn't seen either your dad or mine. one thing you had better than me. your mom was normal. -mine's batshit insane. for that, you'll practice parallel parking next. like that. not too much. start turning those wheels. -hi. will this take long today? as long as it takes for him to learn. sorry. no worries. -keep practicing. forward again, then reverse. did you clean your room? yes. no, you didn't. -your clothes are all over the floor and there's dust on your computer. i asked you to clean it two weeks ago. were you in my room? i peeked in. do i need permission? -yes, you do. not as long as i pay the rent. it won't be for long. what do you mean? i'm getting my own place when i turn 18. -in the summer. in the summer? may i ask where you're planning to move? to esplanade. esplanade? -with what money? mine. with the 70 euros you have left from your birthday money? yeah. you're planning to break your piggy bank? -i'll find a rich wife. then you can't come by and ask if i've cleaned. tonight you'll clean your room and go to bed early, so you're calmer. you can't tell me what to do. i'm almost 18. -right. almost. i'll tell you what to do as long as i pay for everything. ooh, scary. in one ear and out... -out the other. you always say the same thing. i can't wait till i'm 18. freedom! what a wonderful word! -i look forward to it. i look more. i do more. i do. goddammit! -park the car now! get out of my car! no farting in my car! your car, your house! keep your fuckin' car! -i'm getting a cab. karri! karri! stop staring. karri baby... -some things don't change whether you're 5 or almost 18. if you need to pee or you're hungry, you throw a fit. or if you haven't slept enough. you should take me to italy one day. is that your big dream?

"just facebook." -i should never have joined. i'm tired of this. besides, i'm busy. did you get the weed? yeah. -this is it. this is the final straw, joni. why don't you say something. i don't know what to say. try! -i'm tired of trying. tired! you're both tired! why are you comparing me to joni? because you're just as childish! -i'm not childish. i know what i'm doing. you're right. things haven't been great around here lately. that's not the reason. -i understand you'd rather be somewhere else. i don't want to be home. it doesn't matter what it's like. you understand something has to change? you can't support yourself. -you need to live here until you can. if you live here, you have the same rules as everyone else. do you? if you don't believe me, believe tomas. i understand you want to try things. -i did too when i was young. that's different! your parents didn't care about you! joni, it's in your genes. genes? -addiction is in your genes. you get it from your dad. you're saying my parents didn't care? you could do anything you wanted! we had free upbringing. -why do you go on about dad? he's doing great. better than you! is that so? if he gets rich off trading stocks or selling drugs, it doesn't mean he's doing great! -financially maybe, but an addict is an addict. can't we talk about ground rules like adults? let's cease fire. right, joni? we'll do as i say. -we'll do as we say, joni! right. we'll do as you say. don't go anywhere. i'll get water. -is that forbidden too? this is awful. this is so awful. i knew this was going to happen. sit down! -sit down! if it happens once, it'll happen again. what fucking book is that from? don't talk to me like that! we're going to create rules and from this moment on... -you'll have no more contact with your friends. you'll be home at 10 p.m. and you'll tell me everything you do. and i want to know what drugs you've done. tomas will take care of that. i will? -yes! you will! i'll unfriend you both now! hey roope, is this enough? it should be full. -okay. if possible. i can't. i can't. sorry, if it's difficult... -we're ready now. why don't we just start. please tell us your version. perfect. she organizes this and then doesn't show up. -well, she spied on my computer. i thought it was illegal to read other people's e-mails and texts. she's the person closest to you. nope. and neither are you. -who is? my friends. they're paying for your school and upbringing? so it's okay for you to break the law... because you pay for everything? -if you live with someone, you can't keep secrets. how long have you been smoking pot? you don't have to answer. since last winter. last winter? -have you thought about the future? will you smoke, say, in five years from now? you're 18. in 5 years you'll be 23. maybe you'll have a family. -do you plan to smoke then? i haven't thought about it. if i feel like it, i will. does your girlfriend smoke? which one of them? -some of them have tried it. don't you have a younger child? a girl, jenna. my and tiina's daughter. she's 14. -if jenna wanted to try it... would you get weed for her? sure. she could try it. come on in! -i'm so sorry i'm late. hi. i'm tiina jarvinen, joni's mom. i didn't realize you were the biological mother. leena heinola. -sit down. so you're not the step-mom? not that it matters. no, i'm the mom. tomas is his step-dad. -isn't both their last name eriksson? he has his dad's last name. biological dad's. not "real" dad's. i'm his real dad. -tomas's name is also eriksson. my first husband happened to have the same last name. funny coincidence. i mean, whoever had it first... i thought it was funny at first, too... -i have to say tomas is a much better father... even though he is an eriksson. thinking of you naked and horny on the office couch. see you tomorrow. where are you going? -i got a work gig. what kind of a gig? a wolf gig. a wolf gig? some people from bulgaria. -bulgaria? or belgium. some conference guests and their kids. how come i haven't heard about this? i'm the managing director. -you might have if you had spent more time at work. you're not going anywhere. stop looking at me like that. i hate that. it's like you're reading my mind. -i know you're lying. and so do you. are you high? "am i high?" are you high? i can't even get mad at you any more. -if you leave now, don't come back. fine. where the hell are you going? to akseli's or pete's. you think their parents will put up with this shit? -or andré's. his mom is never home either. i'm home! right now! maybe you're a little late! -who do you think you are? i'm not your dad. we both know that. fuck! now i'm late! -you're gonna pay for my cab? next week we're going to the country. tiina and i agreed. no way. it's akseli's 18th birthday. -every day is someone's 18th birthday. besides, it's my dad's weekend. you coming? can you please join me at the table? i can hear you. -i have to cook. jenna will be here any minute and she'll be starving. that's why i want to talk to you before she gets here. she won't starve to death in 15 minutes... dut our son may die of drugs. -i don't know if i can make it. things are pretty hectic again. you only think about yourself. no, i don't! i think about this family! -you never think of anyone but you! me, me, me! why not me? nobody listens to me! you don't see me or hear me! -i'm having a breakdown. why is it always you and never me? stop it! fuck, they're screaming again. huh? -hi! hi. i'm starving! hi, honey. fifteen minutes. -where were you so late? band practice. we're negotiating now. i'm canceling this marriage contract. i can't take this! -our marriage is failing. our marriage isn't working. i'll leave. what? i'll leave and take jenna with me. -you're going nowhere! you're not running away from this! you pushed us to this point.

that's a crazy question... -when you think about all the shit that's going on. i'm happy when i'm stoned. it makes me feel good. for a little while. some people drink. -i smoke weed. i don't plan to become an addict or start doing heroin or something. i'm happy when women come and go. but to be honest, you get tired of it. it might be nice to wake up next to the same chick twice. -next to someone who knows me a little. i'm happy about my family. it's the only family i have. i just have to get along with them. in the end, everyone's alone. -boys 17-18 pretty nice. yeah. when i win the lottery, i'm going to buy one. you don't even play the lottery. -i'll win when i start. hey guys, for real. i hate it when piss starts to run down my leg in my long johns. you're wearing long johns?

-how's therapy going? i don't know. they're making me talk about what i'll be doing in five years. what do you say to that? no idea. -i haven't even graduated high school yet. tell them you'll have graduated by then. what would you say?

-shanna's been blowing away the competition week after week and is the only one who hasn't performed for ryan. once again, great. as usual, blake's been killing it. that is some serious business. nice! -but michael is struggling to keep up. is it pitchy on "chances"? yep. which landed him in the bottom three with lily and abraham. but in the end, it was abraham who was sent home. -now six contenders remain to compete for a guest-starring role on glee. i'm thinking it's pair-ability, since it's, like, an even number. i'm one of six contenders. do i know if i'm gonna make it to the end? no, but i'm gonna do my best to. -i'm gonna fight through this as much as i can. i am pumped that there are only two more weeks. it just raises the bar and raises the competition. and, like, you have to be better than everyone here. who do you think the guest mentor's going to be? -i have no idea because i don't know what the theme is yet. we're down to six people. it makes me want to be even more in the game than i already have been. i'm so close to the end. hey, guys. -hey, robert. hey. hi. here we are. it's really weird to just see six of you. -yes. it's time to really bring it. there's two guys... me and blake, that's it. everything is just a little bit more high stakes. -i don't want to sound cocky, i don't want to sound arrogant, but i'm really proud of how far i've gotten. the last thing i want to do is go home. i want to beat blake. so your theme for this week is... romanticality. -nice. okay! that's really cool. wow. one of the most popular elements of glee are the iconic relationships. -so we need to know if you can create convincing romantic chemistry with another actor. i have a crush on blake. i think everybody has a crush on blake. i don't think it's just me. so your homework assignment this week is... -more than words by extreme. ohhh. really? that is awesome. wow! -i have an extra surprise for you. ooh. nuno bettencourt, who wrote and performed more than words, will be here tomorrow to accompany you on guitar himself. whoa. wow! -so as usual, it's up to the group to decide who sings what part and to create your own romantic choreography. tomorrow, you'll perform for me and one of glee's biggest breakout stars. talk to you guys later. good luck. bye. -so what are we planning on doing for choreography? i think it should be simple. i think if we picked a pair, you can create your own story with that person. yeah. do we want to figure out what the pairs are? -yeah. okay, so we all decide we're gonna do it in couples. and let's not say who we're gonna couple up with. let's just look at the person. there was an awkward moment when i looked at blake, and he didn't look at me, then i looked at michael, and he didn't look at me. -aylin is my partner this week. i don't know if i can deal with her. okay, so we need to come up with our story. lily and i had a moment on the couch where we were being romantic with each other, and then she kind of mouthed to me, "should we kiss?" and i was, like, "oh, my god, wait... that's perfect!" -the other contenders do not know. we wanted it to be a surprise. i think you need to be a little less enthused. michael, i'm working. all right. -i'm a little nervous about being with michael because his homework feedback isn't always the best. i hope that we can pull it together and not get any negative feedback this week. we're together now. hey, guys. hey. -so your homework assignment was more than words by extreme. and you're lucky enough to have the amazing nuno bettencourt here to accompany you. thank you for having me. it's been amazing. the song is so beautiful. -it's one of my favorite songs ever. i heard a rumor that you lost your virginity to this song. yeah. i know a lot of people that did though, a lot of people. well, they are so lucky to have you here today. -so our other guest today has done some of glee's most romantic and groundbreaking scenes. hey, guys. darren criss! he has an amazing voice and can dance, and i love that he's so good-looking. obviously, this is darren criss, who plays blaine, one of glee's biggest breakout stars. -i love coming onthe glee project because it's always a chance to get to know new people that i might be potentially working with. romance is inherently being vulnerable, and having a real, sincere, and unique connection because of that vulnerability. the rest is in the music. so let's see what you got. let's bring on the romance, man. -beautiful. great job, everybody. it was awesome. so each thing was really great. they were all distinctly different. -there was a playful, a serious, and then kind of a mixture between the two. it was cool that everybody kind of stuck to their choice. and it made it a very interesting thing to watch. monsieur michael, you were partnered with shanna. yes. -it seemed you guys were a little stiff? i don't get negative feedback. in, like, partner work, you have to just really use each other, and i don't know that michael was willing to really use us together. so, lily and aylin, your choice was to make the relationship a bit more serious. -the only minor speed bump of doing something like that... it can veer on the melodramatic. it seems a bit more than it needed to be. blake and ali, you were, i think, of everybody, very, very relaxed, and it was vulnerable. so, darren, who do you pick as the winner? i was enjoying the playful quality of this and the naturalness of this. -and i think the standout winner of that would be... blake. yay! thanks. it was just really earnest. -you nailed it, and it just felt really nice. thank you. yay, blakey. finally i can be able to say, "oh, i won a homework assignment," -because all the girls are just like, you know, "i won this, and i won that." so i'm really excited that i get to say, "and i won that." so congratulations, blake. this means that you've won a one-on-one mentoring session with darren, who will work with you on your role in the big group number, which is... -which is... we found love by rihanna. i love this song. i definitely know that chorus. who doesn't? -so the concept for the big group number is that you are high school students who are in detention on the weekend. so when the teacher leaves you alone to work, you sneak off into different areas of the empty school for a little bit of romance. so that means that you'll all basically be pairing up again for this. so, blake, as this homework assignment winner, you are now allowed to choose who your partner will be for this next assignment. the worst. -that's the worst. um... i really want to keep exploring with ali, if that'd be cool. i mean, it just felt right. that's great. -i guess that means that we have to pair up the rest of y'all. uh-oh. aylin, you were with lily this last time, so i think we're gonna shake it up, and this time, you are going to be with shanna. i knew it. that only leaves michael and lily together. -i'm a little disappointed that blake didn't choose me. it's pretty clear that blake and ali are the favorite couple. michael and i are very good friends, but the fire and spark that blake and i have, it will be harder to find with michael. just keep it at that. so your job this week is to make us believe that you and your partner have real chemistry. -blake, i look forward to working with you, man. and i will see you soon. my best to all of you guys. thank you. thank you for your time. -see you soon. bye, guys. see ya. bye. you're all amazing. -so welcome. zach is over at the scripted show, so you get me today. so this week's challenge is romanticality, and we are spending the weekend in detention, which i did a lot. so let's get with our couples. me and michael have to get more comfortable with each other. -relax a lot with it, lily. we're close friends, but we're not very touchy, so we'll have to work that out. okay, good, go. i think the choreography is a little bit challenging because there's a part where we're supposed to get on the floor. i really do want to get out of my chair for this video because i feel like it's really important teenagers with disabilities feel like they can be sexy. -the choreography is simple, but we have to really become connected with our partner. when i spoon you, we're just gonna, unh. yeah. we have to outshine blake and ali because everyone's talking about blake and ali. no, it's gonna be the aylin and shanna show. -just wait. we're gonna drill this until... until we're gay together for the show. until we're not straight anymore. whoa. -whoa! it just doesn't look natural to me at all. maybe we should put them both on the bottom. oh, my gosh. hey. -hi. today i'm looking for a lot of things. first and foremost, i just hope they can harmonize. okay, divas... they haven't done a lot of harmony or duet singing yet, so if they've never sung harmony before, it's gonna be a massive uphill battle. -so i've put you guys like this just so you can feed off of each other's energy. have you had a good week so far? it's a very lesbian week. it'll be interesting when my family sees this. i think the whole show in general. -so we're just gonna get down to business. "mind" is good, but you felt like you were a little uneasy about "in." look at shanna. do what you need to do. this is for you. -that's the best one. yes. you got it. you're done. whoo! -shanna's up. just a little under on "will." i know you got power down there. and you're trying to be soft. yeah. -but maybe just split the difference a little bit? yes, ma'am. okay. unfortunately, shanna has set such a high bar for herself. i just need a little bit more tone 'cause you're just disappearing a little bit. -dial it back... just a little more controlled power. okay. today, she didn't quite reach it. got it. oh, no. -i haven't been in bottom three yet, but i would love to make it to the finale without having to see ryan. hi. i'm expecting michael to be challenging to work with for this song. he's just been tough to get the right performance out of him week after week. hey, hey! -all right. yes! great. all right, michael. i like it. -all right. you're sounding good. yeah, girl. lily has become a studio singer. she is almost one of the best in the studio now. -hi, guys. what's up? so we're gonna start out and do all your parts, ali. okay, let's get that. wow! -unh! i think it really helps to have someone in the studio, right? it's so amazing. it's like this is for blake! so let's trade places. -okay. so, homework winner, you're gonna do a harmony on the fourth line. that was... interesting. first line's good. -whoa, whoa. you're just... up one more step, a half step. have you done a ton of harmony singing in your life? no. -blake. he's always so solid, and he is so great to work with, but i think i found the crack in his armor today. oh, why? stop. stop. -it has been very, very rough getting the right performance out of him today. one more shot. one more shot. let's just take that one... damn harmony. -knowing that my harmonies were not up to par, i'm really nervous. that could be my reason to be in the bottom three. you know, there's six people left. i've already done a last-chance performance with nellie, but i haven't done one by myself. -i don't know how they're gonna judge this. they're just looking for reasons, and i just gave 'em one. okay, so i think that we are done. good morning. good morning. -hey. morning. romanticality. basic deal, you might know it already... it's saturday detention. when the teacher leaves, you guys go and do your own romantic thing in the school. -i want to see connection, i want to see chemistry. i want to see, like, those little moments. that's what i need, okay? cool. awesome. -thank you. the challenge in this big group number is that the contenders really have to show their romantic side with another person. so it's all about the chemistry. and action. cut, cut, cut. -lily mae, when you got close to him, i was like this. and then you pull back. love it. i think michael and lily are showing that they have more chemistry than i thought they would. -i do give lily credit right now because she's usually so overpowering. but i feel like she is taking his... sort of temperature of his approach, and matching it very well. yeah it's really good because they have such different images. yeah. he's reserved, she's so big and brassy. -and they're doing a very good job. he's bringing it up, and she's bringing it down, and it's working really well. let me just see what you got. okay. and roll it, roll it. -in the studio, i had some bad moments. so i'm definitely feeling lucky that i got to have a one-on-one with darren just to get right back on track. now, i'm sort of kind of focusing on what i think will help you with this. you're in love. i want to see that. -you know what it's like, hopefully, you know, to be head over heels for somebody. oh, yeah. i mean, that's an amazing, amazing feeling. i mean, i have a girlfriend. if your girlfriend is a good anchor for getting you there, i mean, totally embrace that. -i mean, you're lucky to have somebody that makes you feel that way. that was really nice. they are doing really well. they seem to be playful and fun and creative. what i really like about having her out of the chair is that it suddenly makes it just a very real moment. -hi. there they are, the two lovers. hello. let's do it, guys. -let's do it. all right, here we go. rolling. play around with me, have fun with me. you too. -and... rolling. cut! i need you to be a little bit more realistic. get away from acting. -i want to see that chemistry. i want to feel it. i want the viewer to feel it. action! this doesn't look natural to me at all. -it just seems too choreographed and not real. and they've taken the choreography literally instead of making it part of their behavior. cut. cut. cut. -cut. cut! can you make it, like... it needs to have a little bit of cat and mouse to it. literally, now, it just looks like two girls at a swing dance class. take it from the top. -and playback. a little better. is that better? cut. now, zach, nikki, and i have to pick three people to perform for ryan. -we're gonna really have to analyze the entire week and really scrutinize the video as well. now we're down to six incredible people. my problem is that there's only two guys left in the competition, and to lose even one, i mean, it's going to change the whole dynamic. and i think either boy could win. -maybe we should put them both on the bottom. oh, my gosh. and let them fight it out. it seems like they all had a moment this week that we could look at as something that could justify them being in the bottom. here we go, rolling. -speed. go ahead, guys, go ahead. cue playback, please. welcome to detention. i don't want any roughhousing or goofing off. -and no talking. you will sit in silence and make the most of your time, and maybe you'll learn something about yourself. detention is between 9:00 till noon. great job. it is a wrap! -awesome! this is a recurring note that you get. this week was obviously not your week in the studio. and i don't think it was up to par. so we're in the final stages of the competition now, and this is where it gets really painful. -we know that all six of you have the talent and potential to win this competition. but only one of you will. this week's theme is romanticality. it was all about creating believable romantic chemistry with another person. lily, in the studio this week, again, you just continue to grow, and you've turned into a great studio singer. -thank you. i was worried about the chemistry and how you and michael were gonna pull it off, but i think it was fantastic. thank you so much. you were just really sweet, and i don't think we've seen a sweet side of you in a video yet. ali, you were great in homework. -darren thought you were wonderful and that you were a perfect partner for blake. ali, in the studio, you really shined. i don't know if the magic was blake this week, but you have been consistently growing. your acting has just gotten really, really good. thank you so much. -so, lily and ali... congratulations, great work. you're both called back for next week. oh, thank you. thank you! -to be called back first, i was not expecting that at all. they wanted to see this sweet side, this softer character, and i showed them that. and that makes me feel really good that i proved myself this week. so this week, it came down to the four of you... -michael, blake, aylin, shanna. so, michael, in the homework assignment, you got a note from darren that you were a little stiff, and this is a recurring note that you get. we have to take seriously that a fresh pair of eyes comes in week after week and gives a similar note. blake, you obviously did an incredible job on the homework assignment. this week was obviously not your week in the studio. -the sad truth is that we do a lot of harmonies on glee, and it is part of daily life on the show. so that's just something that, you know, we have to take into consideration. it's just, i think, up until this point in the competition, we were all thinking, "is there a crack in blake's armor?" and i think, you know, we did find your weak point this week that you need work on. -aylin, in the homework assignment, you and lily made the choice to be a little bit more intense than everyone else. having done that, darren felt that you did a little too much. so, shanna, along with michael in the homework, you got the note that you were a little stiff and did a little too much, which was unusual because it's, i think, the first time you've ever had a criticism in the homework assignment ever. and on my end, and i told you on the shoot, it just turned into a dance number, and i don't think it was up to par. -as always, it's been extremely difficult to pick three of you to perform tonight. shanna... you will be doing a last-chance performance for ryan tonight. aylin, you will also do a last-chance performance tonight. blake... -you will also perform for ryan tonight. michael, that means you're a callback for next week. well done. thank you. i have never been in the bottom. -i'm utterly shocked that it is us three in the bottom three. i definitely thought that i had reason to be there, and we all had reason to be there, but i feel like michael had more reason than all of us. i'm not crying. are you okay, shanna? i'm fine. -okay. i'm just kinda shocked, actually. i know. well, i know, and i know. one of is going home tomorrow? -i'm really shocked right now. i definitely was not expecting to ever be in the bottom three with shanna and blake. never. okay, guys, let's talk about the songs. blake, your song is losing my religion by r.e.m. -mm. aylin, you will be doing the first time ever i saw your face, made famous by roberta flack. so jealous. what, you're jealous? i don't know that song. -i love that song. shanna, the song isstronger by kelly clarkson. yes. okay. you have two hours to rehearse. -you guys are all gonna be amazing, so just have fun tonight, and just show ryan why you're here. go! go! i'm still in shock that i'm in the bottom three with these two amazing performers. i though that we were the three top contenders. -blake's not going home. aylin is wonderful. and i'm so close to my dreams right now, i can't go home this week. damn. -i'm not gonna sugarcoat it. i'm up against two girls that are really good. never been in the bottom by myself, so it's pretty nerve-racking. i just really don't want to go home. i think that this is going to be the hardest elimination as of yet. -it definitely helps being in the bottom before because i know what's coming. but it's crazy just knowing that one of us is gonna go home, and i'm scared. you forgot the words! why are you so nervous? if you want to win this, you have to show something i haven't seen yet. -are you opening the meal with this song? oh, yeah. of course. oh, oh, my god! romanticality, to me, is showing another person how much you care. -this is your plate 'cause it's the best-looking plate. so michael and i decide that we will have a little date. ooh. we have a new place in our heart for each other. okay. -so this week's theme was romanticality, and we were looking to see how they would have... be able to partner with people and have chemistry. mm-hmm. ryan, what did you think of the footage you saw of the video? i thought... you know, to be honest, -i think this is the really hard part of the competition because i thought they were all, actually, very good. and i think the bottom three are here for reasons which are probably not evident in the video. who's first? first is aylin. what was the problem? -basically, of all the couples, the two girls that played the same-sex couple turned it into a dance. it doesn't seem organic, compared to the other couples. let's bring her out. wow. i'm singingthe first time ever i saw your face. -thank you. very good. i think she sounded incredible. you did. you did sound incredible. -but i couldn't kinda get into the story because you forgot the words! i know. i'm very interested to see what your mother would think of this show because she doesn't, "a," know you've kissed a boy, and now you're kissing a girl. what's mama gonna think? mama is gonna be like, "oh, it is acting." -but the family in turkey, probably not gonna like me after watching the show. what do you think it would mean for muslim girls to turn on glee every week and see a modern girl who is not a stereotype? it would mean the world to me. there is nobody that looks like me on tv. i want the little girls to see me and realize that they don't have to fit that stereotype. -do you worry about any of the backlash? i'm ready for it. i'm a strong enough person where i can take that pressure. i want to be that person. well, thank you very much. -thank you. good to see you. next is blake. the only reason he's here is because, in the recording studio, he had difficulty with harmonies. was he nervous? -no. i don't think he was nervous. that's the one thing about him that bugs me is there's almost an absence of vulnerability and nerves. like, it's almost... i don't see the bottom in that kid. -he's sensitive. okay, let's bring him out. how you doing? i will be singing... losing my... -losing my religion by rem. okay. there's the nerves for you. very good. thank you. -so for somebody who's been the front-runner of this competition, why are you so nervous? it's like the nerves and excitement and everything jumbled up together. but you know, you really are the sweetheart of the competition. do you feel you deserve to be in the bottom three? yeah. -ah, if you are lucky enough to come back, you have to show us something that is completely vulnerable, that's not cookie-cutter, because those vulnerabilities that are interesting to me to write to, if you want to win this, you have to show something i haven't seen yet. yeah. you did great though. but thank you. -thank you. bye. okay, shanna, like blake, has been one of the strongest contenders. you've never seen her. probably our top girl. -so why... if she's our top girl, why is she here? she's here because, in the music video, her default is to kind of be kind of bubblegum, disney-like. okay. i'm shanna henderson, and i'm gonna be singingstronger. thank you. -you were great! how'd you feel about your number? i don't think i said hardly any of the words right, but i felt great about the way it sounded. how do you feel about the fact that you've never been in the bottom three until now? i knew i was gonna be here at some point. -whenever that came, i just wanted to prove to y'all that i should be on glee. what kind of part do you think would be inspiring to kids that's never been seen on tv? i would be, like, the athletic girl that's involved in everything, that can sing her ass off. there's several other girls in this competition, who, from a writer's point of view... like, i can see what that is, i can see what that is. i think you've just gotta be a little bit bolder. -okay. one other thing. i hear that you aren't exactly pleased at the bottom three tonight. is that true? i guess, working with michael, and then him getting the same critique, -i feel like he's gotten that critique over and over. do you think that he should be here instead of you? yes. you do? i admire the fact that she just told the truth. -yeah, i like that. she doesn't lie. i want to seethatgirl, if you come back. you've gotta be tough. yeah. -that tough country girl, you know? because that's unique to you. but good to see you. bye-bye. i'll see y'all later, hopefully. -i think this is an incredibly difficult week because i think any one of those bottom three could win it. i don't know who's gonna go home. shanna didn't deliver something that made me say, "okay, she's safe." i just wasn't up to my potential this week. -aylin, i liked seeing the vulnerable side of her. i think she sounded the best, but it's not just a singing performance. i forgot 1 1/2 lines. i thought, blake, "okay, well, i expected you to do that. you were just sort of coasting on your charm." -so based on that performance, i'm like, "okay, well, he could go." obviously, you know, i had nerves and everything, but luckily, i did not forget a word. what do you say? i think they all cracked a little bit tonight. i think it's extremely unfortunate, but i think this fits on the show differently than that. -i'd say the other one. hmm. one person has to leave. i would have to go with this one. yeah. -it can go so many different ways. 'cause it's like, "okay, well, i've been in the bottom three times." this is, like, their first time to the bottom. i don't know, it's a lot to think about. i just want you guys to know that... -getting to know you guys has been awesome. i mean, you guys are my best friends... in a long, long time. hey, guys. the list is up, so go take a look. -i hate going into things thinking the worst, but i'm thinking i'm going home, and i'm scared. i know that i sang my heart out on that stage, and i performed the heck out of that song. and if i go home, i will be devastated. i'm about to read my fate, and i am nervous. i'd be an idiot not to be because i know what there is to lose. -oh, yes! oh, my god. i'm at a loss of words. i fought to be here this entire time. i was so motivated and so determined. -i genuinely thought that i could win. i'm gonna keep on going towards my dreams with two suitcases in my hand and, like, 20 bucks in my pocket. i love y'all... all of y'all so much. and i'm gonna make it. -the theme of the week is... actability. yes! awesome! this week is super high-pressure. -last week till the finale. everything's at the highest stakes that it possibly could be. i don't know where to go from here! i wanna be nothing like you! so you're having trouble with me, and then you get comfort from my best friend? -huh? we felt it should be up to them to decide who should go through to the finale. for more information on the glee project, male narrator: december 7, 1941... the turmoil of world war ll enters its 27th month. -japanese troops storm shanghai. german armies stand at the gates of moscow, leaving 6½ million casualties in their wake. nazi germany has mainland europe in its grip. under siege, britain hangs on by a thread. -three-thousand miles away, the united states remains at peace. seventy-six percent of her citizens support neutrality. at 7:55 a.m., the peace is shattered. three hundred sixty japanese warplanes descend on pearl harbor. world war ll has come to america. -this is america's war as never seen before... from the unique vantage point of space. witness the key battles unfold... and the military strategies behind them, in stunning detail. revealed are the political alliances, the global battle for resources, and the astounding awakening of american military and manufacturing might that will determine the outcome of the greatest conflict ever fought. narrator: -the unprovoked japanese attack on pearl harbor will send shock waves across the globe, but america has feared a strike for months. since 1931, japan's imperial ambitions have grown bolder and bolder. first, manchuria is invaded, then china itself. when france falls to nazi germany in 1940, japan seizes control of french indochina. -the us response is rapid. japan's financial assets are frozen and an oil embargo is imposed. the message is clear-- withdraw from indochina or be economically crushed. after the embargo, japan was faced with two choices-- stop territorial expansion-- give into the demands of the allies-- or go to war. -narrator: japan chooses war. in the words of prime minister tojo, "it is either glory or decline." it is imperative that they make the first, decisive strike. -the japanese knew they were never gonna go toe-to-toe with the united states in a long naval war in the pacific. they knew they didn't have the economic might-- the military might-- but it was a calculation that they could administer a knock-out blow to the capital ships of the us pacific fleet. if you could destroy the pacific fleet, the ability of the americans to respond to anything for many months would be taken away. so the strike at pearl harbor was not just a strike at a symbol of american power. it was american power in the pacific. -narrator: what american intelligence cannot see is revealed from space. admiral yamamoto's fleet departs japan on the longest assault in history. avoiding shipping lanes and landmass, they arrive unseen, 275 miles from their target. -it's the perfect vantage point-- beyond the range of america's defensive radar, but at the optimum strike distance for its force of 414 cutting-edge aircraft, the jewel in the crown... the mitsubishi zero. man 1: it's faster than anything that they've used before. it's incredibly maneuverable and it has extreme range. but while the technology was pretty good, what mattered at pearl harbor was the man behind it. it was the pilot. -the japanese pilots have already been at war for years, so they're well-trained crews. you add on top of that, they'd been planning that attack for a long period of time. so they'd been running war games, simulating it, going through the action again and again, so that, basically, many of them talked about how they could have done it going in blind. narrator: at 7:55 a.m., the first wave of bombers swoop from the sky. -on the deck of uss arizona is don stratton. we knew right away that there were japanese planes, and we knew that they were bombing ford island, and something was radically wrong. don: planes were strafing and dive-bombing, and it was just a horrible experience and a horrible sight. don: it was a high-altitude bomber, dropped like a 2,000-lb bomb. -i mean, it just devastated everything in its path, and the concussion and the smoke and the fire was horrendous. it just was like... you'd lost your home. narrator: of eight battleships at anchor, the arizona, oklahoma, west virginia, and california are sunk-- the rest severely damaged. -in 68 minutes, japan has crippled the heart of america's pacific fleet. from a japanese perspective, the attack on pearl harbor succeeded beyond the most optimistic expectations. when you consider the losses that the japanese suffered in this attack, it was essentially nothing. narrator: -the japanese lose 64 men to 3,649 us casualties-- a human damage ratio of 57 to 1. but japan's margin of victory hides two major flaws in the attack. the japanese failed to systemically attack the oil fields-- the oil storage tanks at pearl harbor. if they'd spent one more sortie taking out those oil tanks, they would have crippled the whole pacific fleet, which wouldn't have had the fuel supplies to keep going. narrator: -more significant are the ships the japanese fail to target. prof. kennedy: the american aircraft carriers were absent from pearl harbor at the time of the japanese attack. and as things evolved very quickly, it became clear that the aircraft carrier was destined to become the most significant naval asset for either side in the pacific war, and the american carriers were untouched. -narrator: oil supplies and air domination-- two factors that will dictate the fate of world war ll, and japan fails to damage either... instead, it has awoken the full wrath of the sleeping american giant. dr. crane: pearl harbor infuriated the american people. it also infuriated the american military-- massive casualties, destruction of most of the pacific fleet. -if you wanted to do one thing to unite a country that before this had been rather divided about what to do about the war, pearl harbor was it. this was like a lightning rod throughout the american population. no longer was president roosevelt limited in his options. he had a united states population that was angry and unified and desired revenge against japan. narrator: -her era of isolationism is over. america is at war and begins its rise to become the most powerful nation on the planet. washington calculates victory will cost $300 billion-- $4.4 trillion in today's money-- over 1½ times the total us federal budget. the government can raise half through increased taxes. -for the rest, it must turn to the public. man 2: to raise $300 billion was then viewed as an insurmountable challenge, because basically we had to get half of the population of the united states to buy bonds. and what we were saying is we're in world war ll, we're in this to win, it's a fight of good versus evil, and you on an individual level are gonna make a difference. narrator: -to guarantee success, the ad men of new york recruit america's most potent propaganda asset. we had the hollywood machine. america had mass-marketed movies. they knew the power of hollywood. -they knew the power of celebrities. narrator: over 300 movie icons join the "stars over america" campaign crisscrossing the nation. chicago... two huge celebrity rallies sell over $15 million in bonds. new york... -a 3-way baseball game generates $56 million. by the end of the war, bonds campaigns raise $187.5 billion. bob: to get everybody aligned behind one goal and make the transaction is--is huge. narrator: -america and its beleaguered allies are going to need every cent. four days after pearl harbor, nazi germany declares war on the united states. she now faces two vast and battle-hardened powers on two fronts. man 3: -when america entered the war, it looked as if the military aggressors were going to win. narrator: seen from space, america's peril is clear. her fleet is in disarray, and her pacific assets at the mercy of a rampant japan. on the other side of the planet, her strongest military ally, -great britain, is buckling under siege from nazi germany. america is at the epicenter of the greatest conflict in history. roosevelt must make the biggest call of any us presidency-- which enemy to engage first. dr. crane: franklin delano roosevelt decided that germany was the one that could take down our closest friends around the world. -they had to make sure that britain survived. keeping britain afloat was essential to the long-term prospects of victory. it stood as a large aircraft carrier that would enable an invasion onto the continent. if britain fell under nazi domination, the challenge would be almost insurmountable. narrator: -for roosevelt, the future of great britain is the future of the war. but after 17 months of fighting alone, its survival rests on a knife edge. isolated, britain's only hope is to keep her supply routes open-- a fragile lifeline german admiral doenitz seeks to destroy. britain depended on the import of 5 million tons of stuff every month. german admiral doenitz argued very persuasively that if we can subtract a million tons a month, we will bring britain to its knees. -narrator: doenitz' lethal weapon is the u-boat. capable of traveling thousands of miles submerged and armed with a deadly cocktail of deck guns, mines and torpedoes, it is the perfect weapon to starve britain into submission. when they attack, they're sending over 9,000 tons of supplies to the bottom of the ocean with 1 munition--1 torpedo. and when it detonates, it creates this void underneath the vessel that creates the vessel to collapse -it's the difference between being stabbed and someone breaking your back. it's a killer. narrator: churchill introduces naval convoys to protect the merchant fleets. doenitz' response is devastating. -prof. wawro: admiral doenitz introduced this thing called "rudel" tactic-- wolf pack tactic. a rudel is a pack of animals, and instead of approaching singly, as submarines had done in the past, the germans would have their u-boats strung out in these long patrol lines and then they would use radio signals to congregate in a pack and overwhelm the defenses of the convoy. -the results are devastating. when you get caught by a pack of these, you might lose half or more of the convoy. narrator: in 12 months, 900 ships are sunk. only 29 u-boats are destroyed. -it's a war of attrition britain is losing fast. winston churchill knows one big thing in 1940-- that for britain to be able to fight this war, it needs american help-- it can't do it alone. narrator: churchill tirelessly lobbies roosevelt for american support. though officially neutral, roosevelt cuts a deal. -the us give 50 destroyers to britain to keep it in the fight, but at a price. in return, britain hands over eight of its overseas bases to america and dismantles its preferential trading system with its colonies. dr. porter: it was a very mixed deal for britain, because on the one hand, it helps britain fight the war. they couldn't have done it without american support-- materially. on the other hand, it accelerates the collapse of the british empire-- makes the empire more and more unaffordable. -for winston churchill, that's a very painful deal, but one that probably has to be made. narrator: december 1941... america enters the war. its first act of aggression is to join britain in the battle of the atlantic... a strategy that meets with disaster. -peter: when america enters the war, the battle of the atlantic actually takes a turn-- worse for the allies. the amount of allied shipping that's sunk goes up by these astronomical amounts. narrator: by mid-1942, 2,703 allied ships are sunk-- a u-boat kill ratio of 36 to 1. -it's an unsustainable rate of loss. even with america fighting alongside, the liberty of britain and the freedom of europe hang by a thread. mid-1942... britain remains in the stranglehold of the german u-boat menace. american ships coming to its aid are being destroyed at alarming rates. -to reverse their fortunes, the allies must gain the upper hand in the intelligence war. dr. crane: the most critical factor in the battle of the atlantic was the exchange of information between the americans and the british. it maximized both the technological and the intellectual capabilities of both sides. narrator: -the precedent for this vital collaboration is the "tizard mission," 15 months before the pearl harbor attack. with nazi invasion seemingly inevitable, henry tizard, head of the british aeronautical committee, persuades churchill to gift america every scientific innovation britain holds, in exchange for access to us production lines. -the blueprints are packed into a single trunk. embarking from britain, it reaches washington dc in september 1940. dr. porter: that box was described by one american official as the most important cargo that ever reached its shores. narrator: -the trunk contains the memorandum on the feasibility of the atomic bomb, designs for jet engines, rockets, superchargers, gyroscopic gun sights, submarine detection devices, self-sealing fuel tanks, plastic explosives, and perhaps the most important invention of world war ll... a working magnetron number 12, an advancement in radar technology a thousand times more effective than the best american counterpart. this was revolutionary. you can put it into an aircraft, you can put it on a ship, then you can take that technology and take it anywhere on the battle space. narrator: -when did you get back? oh, just a few hours ago. it was a surprise. believe me, it was. oh, it's so good to see you. -you look great. thanks. so do you. thank you. aw. -claudia joy. hi. hi. she just got back. aw. -not a moment too soon. sir, would you excuse us? there's a little backstage crisis. mm. of course. -okay. hey, what's going on? we've got a big problem. sorry. out of order. -try down the hall. thanks. i don't believe this. jackie. i need a refill. -no, no. oh! you don't. mnh-mnh. oh. -claudia joy. it's so good to see you. hi. jackie, how many glasses of wine have you had? i don't know. -uh, um... one here, one at home. no, wait. two at home. and how many pills? -mm. just a couple of xanax. oh, brother. mm. how serious is this? -well, she's obviously high, but there's no indication of overdose. um... i'm gonna go to the banquet now. uh, no. mm- -denise. you can't go out there. i have to. jackie. mm-hmm. -listen to me. you go out there like this, you'll embarrass yourself, your husband, the united states army. huh. fine. you know, i hate these things anyway. -w-we need to get her home. now watch your step. right there! okay. hey, do- -do i know you? you know, i like her dress. all right, jackie, let's get you in the van. care- watch your head. -okay. okay? yeah. oh. okay. -thank you. of course. good luck. roger that. i am so glad you're back. -mm. uh... kevin. claudia joy, unexpected pleasure. thank you. -denise. hi. i can't seem to find my wife. uh-- have you seen her anywhere? -oh. you know, we-- we, uh, just had to send her home. what? yeah, she came down with some kind of stomach bug. she didn't call me. -uh, she was in no condition to call. right. you know how these things can just come up out of nowhere and flatten you. she didn't want to worry you, though. exactly. -i mean, what she needs most right now is to rest. she so wanted to be here, but she was in no condition to entertain. uh, we should join the receiving line. right. i'll give her a call later, -make sure she's okay. that would be best. shall we? uh, okay. careful. -oh! okay. hey. that's my house. that's right. -mm. we just need to get you inside. mm. hold on a second. okay. -oh. uh, it's-- it's okay. denise said that's a good sign. it gets it out of her system. so i guess that's a really good sign, huh? -maybe. mm. okay? good? i feel better. -good. okay. up and over. up and over. there we go. -pfc cruz. denise sherwood. we met at the brigade barbecue. yes, ma'am. nice to see you again. -you, too. i-i have a message from your wife. she had a last-minute errand to run for the banquet, but she should be back in time for dinner. good to know. thank you, ma'am. -yeah. sure. have fun. an errand? yes, you know how it is. -as frg leader, roxy has to handle all the little emergencies that come up. sure. what kind of emergency? uh, you know, she didn't even tell me. she said not to worry, have a drink, she'll join you for dinner. -excuse me, please. oh. thank you, ma'am. oh, no, no. i can't drink another cup. -yes, you can. it's either that or a cold shower. who are you again? gloria cruz, ma'am. right. -okay. what time is it? uh, a little after 6:00 probably. okay. just give me a few minutes to freshen up, and then we can get back before dinner's served. -oh, no. um, claudia joy said, if you go back, it would raise eyebrows. we told everyone you have a stomach bug. besides, you look like crap. ma'am. -ugh. okay. now what? if you're okay, we go back to the banquet, and this whole thing never happened, right, gloria? what thing? -okay. thanks. don't keep your husbands waiting. you sure? i'm a general's wife. -i know how to behave... most of the time. yeah? well, take some aspirin. you're gonna have a killer headache. -i'll show you out. looks like we only missed salad. there's hector over there. go for it. what do i tell him? -uh, i wouldn't lie, but don't tell him the truth. what does that mean? you'll figure it out. gloria, where you been? didn't they tell you? -i-i had to run an errand. yeah. what kind of errand? um... babysitting general clarke's wife. i thought you'd like that. -uh, it was nothing. frg business. you want some wine? you know what? i think i'll pass. -hey. hey. everything okay? yeah. everything's fine. -one of the girls had a little medical crisis, but nothing to worry about. good. mm-hmm. good evening, everyone, and welcome. this banquet was originally scheduled for earlier this month, but due to a little excursion you might have heard about, it had to be postponed. -let's talk about that. a number of soldiers in this room had the honor of being part of the rapid deployment brigade to narubu. for those of you who took part, you know how you performed. from an operational perspective, the mission was flawless. however, since then, certain sources have suggested we did not do our job. -i know... we regret the loss of innocent life any time we are in battle. we bear the burden. we feel the pain. but let me be clear. -we knew our mission and we accomplished it. a 15-6 investigation has been held to examine our actions, and tonight the findings are in. i've been authorized by general holden to tell you that the 32nd airborne has been fully exonerated. we handled ourselves admirably. there will be no further investigation. -honey, that's great. you must be so relieved. i am. i wish you could've been here to see it. me, too. -i missed you tonight. how are you feeling? i think the worst is behind me. good. look, about earlier... -i'm sorry about what i said. i was taking things out on you, and it wasn't fair. it's okay, kevin. no, it's not okay. and you were right. -i couldn't have gotten this far without you. you know that. well, i'd like to think so, but it's, uh... it's nice to hear every once in a while. listen, uh, if that trip to savannah is still on the table, -i'd like to take you up on it. what do you say, maybe this weekend? you bet. good. i'll be home soon. -i'll be here. well, it was good to hear... the results of the investigation, wasn't it? roland? while we were at the banquet, -i got an e-mail from the lab. the dna results came in. marcus williams is david's father. (muezzin calling) (panting) -(passionate moans) (keys beeping) (safe unlocking) (keys beeping) (both speaking french) -(greeting in french) (men talking in distinctly) (man shouting) - (clattering) (siren wailing) saw you breathing. -did not. hurry up. (woman speaking french) (speaks french) let's go. -dr hill? yes. i'm going to get you out of here. i know you're in pain but you have to move quickly and do exactly what i say. you understand? -yes. okay. where are we going? somewhere safe. (shouts in french) -(grunts) you're not government, are you? who hired you? do you want to get out of here or not? (groaning) -you're on time. well, i thought i'd make the effort, seeing as it's a special occasion. deacon: how's that head? where are you taking me? -what's going on? yeah. you need a rest, doc. you're good to go. see you at base. -let's go. you shouldn't be here. i missed you. so how much longer are we going to keep doing this? we should go. -keel's going to catch onto us, sooner or later. he might. let's leave on our own terms while we still can. what is it? there's something i have to tell you. -okay. not now. well, when? cafe khalil. 4:00. don't be late. -i won't. right. (clucking) (man speaking arabic) (speaking arabic) -(speaking arabic) (chickens clucking) (gas hissing) (screaming) (chicken clucks) -(both grunting) (groans) (panting) (speaking spanish) (panting) -(panting) (breathing heavily) thanks. (clattering) aidan: -let's leave on our own terms while we still can. sam: there's something i have to tell you. not now. aidan: -well, when? sam: cafe khalil. 4.'00. don't be late. young sam: -let's read it again. sam's mother: this is the story of the snow maiden. once upon a time... young sam: -he looks funny. he looks very handsome. i did it! come on, in you get. goodbye, house. -stay nice and dry. (panting) (gasping) i'll take it. the very second i open my eyes each morning, -i consider the infinite variables of chaos that can occur during a working day. as i like to be one step ahead. i don't like to be on the back foot. i don't like it at all. but i'm on the back foot now because of all the infinite variables of chaos that i pondered this morning, the one that never crossed my mind was that you'd be standing in front of me. -an explanation would be good. i decided to retire. that decision's not yours to make. good thing i changed my mind then. deacon: -what's up? sam? deacon. i thought you were dead. sam: -guess not. you disappeared without a trace for over a year. i've had daily signals placed in 24 newspapers for the last six months. i haven't been reading the papers. deacon: -where did you go? sightseeing. "sightseeing?" mmm. i was tired. -i needed a change of scenery. i'd be happy to take a polygraph. you can beat a polygraph. we need to know where you've been, sam. and i don't want to tell you. -but if the question is whether you can still trust me, you can. do you expect to come back to work? i'm your best operative. i put my neck on the block for you. i still have to report up, you know. -i still have to deal with the questions, did you think about that? did you think about the chaos you unleashed? do i get my job back? there's the door. we need her back. -you know that. so does she. (mobile ringing) yes? be here tomorrow. 0800. -well, well. look who dragged her ass back in the door. hasan. good to see you, too. nice boots. -thanks. put your tongue back in your head. sam, right? ian fowkes. fowkes is ex-special forces. -he's new to the private sector. my first op, actually. really looking forward to working with you. uh-huh. (all chuckling) -morning. morning. keel: let's start. okay, target is jack turner, he worked the docks mid-to-late seven... -sorry i'm late. you're back. looks like it. i'd have brought a cake if i'd known. deacon: -zoe. as i was saying, jack turner. he worked the docks in the mid-to-late seventies. extortion, blackmail. you name it. -then after they shut down, he went into property. he made a killing on the docklands. he obviously upset a few people because in 1996 his eldest son, john, was found murdered and mutilated. jack played the markets shrewdly and now runs his investments out of a town house off regent's park. personal wealth in excess of £300 million. -(whistles) blimey. there are questions regarding how mr turner accumulated his wealth. some of his business associates have disappeared or turned up dead. zoe: mr turner is currently bidding to acquire the upper khyber dam. -it's a billion-pound hydroelectric facility. the pakistani minister for privatisation is auctioning it off to the highest bidder, against fierce political opposition. there's a presidential candidate, fatima zahir, she's vowed to block the sale if she wins the election next month. a billion-pound utility seems a bit out of mr turner's league. he's staking his entire fortune on it. -so he'll use all his old tricks to ensure he wins. and our client wants us to ensure that he loses. yeah. but not until we find out what mr turner's game really is. the agenda behind the agenda. -what's our play? sam will be the draw. and the target? stephen turner, jack's surviving son. stephen's public-school educated, he's a lawyer, widowed with a young son, edward, aged 10. -they live in the regent's park house with jack. what happened to the mother? suicide, last year. jack turner is controlling and aggressive. it won't be easy getting to stephen. -or giving him a reason to trust you. i assume you have a plan. study the files. we have a lot of prep and not a lot of time. good job, zoe. -thanks. you good? what did you expect? i'm a spy. nice place. -you've seen it. you can go now. i knew you'd come back, sam. you couldn't stay away. even if it meant they'd try killing you again. -how did you know anyone did? sam, that cafe was a bloodbath. is that what you told keel? keel doesn't know. or at least i didn't tell him. -why not? i figured if you didn't report in, you must have your reasons. how did you know i wasn't dead? i saw your footprint. not a pulse in the place. -sam, what happened? i was set up. by who? you think it was me? no one knew else knew where i'd be. -only you. okay. i can see that. i might even think the same thing. except that it's me you're talking about, sam. -right. so someone else found out where i'd be... that's right. they must have. how? -i don't know. not a pulse in the place. the bartender was alive when i left. aidan: oh, he was most definitely dead. -someone was sent to clean up. sort of thing you're good at. o key since you've got it all worked out, let's say, "yes, "i did order a hit on you." i couldn't go the normal route of "it's not working out between us, -"we both want different things, it's not you, it's me." no, let's go for assassination instead. but why would i want to kill my own child? i knew what you wanted to talk to me about, sam. i knew every tiny little inch of you. -you think i hadn't noticed? i knew. did, uh... did you? that answer your question? -for god's sake, sam. you can't think that this was down to me. why would i want to do that to you? we were in love. we were. -so you want to find out who tried to kill you and why. and you think the best way of doing that is to let them try again. so you come back. i mean, you had to, sooner or later. but ask yourself this. -why won't you trust me? is it because you don't love me anymore? or is it because you're afraid you still do? automated voice: you have one new message. -woman: i'm here, you're late. i'm here, you're late. automated voice: doors closing. -(mobile chimes) (speaking arabic) sam, hide, get down. sam's mother: get off me. -get off me. i'm calling the police. no! no! (loud music playing on earphones) -eddie. eddie, stick with me. eddie! move! hey! -that's my son! dad! eddie! move! hey! -dad! (groans) eddie! eddie, eddie, are you okay? miss kent. -you all right? you okay? you're okay. all in one piece. granddad's little soldier, aren't you, eh, eddie, eh? -course you are. course you are. now you go with mrs s. she'll give you some ice cream. everything'll be all right. grandad'll sort it. -good boy. what happened? dad, it was quick, it was so quick, professional... what did he look like? i don't know, he was middle eastern, i think, i don't know, it was quick. -who's this? dad, this is alex kent. she saved eddie. got any id? for christ's sake! -id? yes. yank. what are you, a tourist? not exactly. -businessman: mr turner. be with you in one sec, gents. thank you. what then? -if not a tourist, what are you? i'm here for a few months, looking for work. do you want to stop this? she saved eddie. saved him. -and we're very grateful. stephen, a word. i'm sorry, miss kent. oh, it's okay, really. no, it isn't. -thank you so much. thank you. would you like me to make a statement for the police? that won't be necessary, miss kent. okay. -you wanted to see me. crane tells me it all went according to plan. if you call terrifying a 10-year-old boy a plan. it's for the greater good. since when was one of our clients interested in the greater good? -you wanted to come back, and i took you on. despite the fact that you lied to me, and you're still lying to me. i've said all i have to say. i brought you to this company. i gave you a career... -and i'm not ungrateful. you have a strange way of expressing your gratitude. why did you want to see me, mr keel? we have a breach. it's a bit of a coincidence, don't you think? -springing a leak just as you come back. are you accusing me? i don't make accusations until i have the evidence to back them up. but when i have it, i will be remorseless, obviously. you look drained. -it suits alex kent, it doesn't suit sam hunter. when you're ready to talk, i'm here. principal give you a spanking? keel never leaves marks. he just don't like secrets, unless of course they're his. -so you're not going to tell him but you're going to tell me, right? oh, you know me better than that. are these the men you saw? that's them. yeah. -these are turner's partners. from kpek, the norwegian firm that would manage the dam. no surprise then. stephen call you yet? not yet, but he will. -let me know when he does. (mobile ringing) like i said. hello? oh, hi, alex. -it's stephen here, stephen turner. how's your little boy? eddie, yeah, he's fine, he's okay. he's, um... he's still a bit shocked actually. -a lot's happened to him recently. um... i just wanted to thank you again for what you did. i really... i don't know how to repay you. -that's really not necessary. anyone would've done the same. yeah, but they didn't. you did. i wondered if i could meet you for a coffee tomorrow, if you have time. -sure. my schedule's wide open, actually. great. good. let's say the boat house, regent's park? -3300. 3:00. i'll be there. game on. mr turner? -stephen, please. it's a remote-control car. i hope you don't mind, but i saw that eddie lost his yesterday. wow, thank you. that's very sweet of you. -he was asking after you this morning. he wanted to know if you were all right. that's so sweet. you tell him i'm fine. hi, can i take your order? -hi, uh, tea, please. english breakfast with milk. i never really drank tea, but i've been in london three months now and i can't live without it. you're from indiana. that's right. -bloomington. i grew up there. right. who do you know in london? (sighs) no one, really. -i wanted to make a new start, i guess. my life has taken a few unexpected turns of late. yeah. i'm sorry. you're sorry? -i know about your car crash. last december. how do you know about that? i know your husband and daughter were killed, and i'm so sorry for your loss. are you checking up on me? -i don't mean to scare you. it's just that our lives, mine and eddie's, they're not usual. everyone gets checked. everyone. i didn't ask for this. -i know you came here to london to leave the past behind. i understand that. really i do. i lost my wife... no. -i didn't lose her, that's a stupid phrase. she died. but i'd go somewhere, i'd go anywhere different with eddie, if i could, to start again. what you did was so completely selfless. and in my world, no one's selfless. -i just want to help you. help me? so he wants you to move in? when? now. -at once. his son missed six months of school and needs tutoring. alex kent is an unemployed third grade teacher who loves children. he thought he was doing us both a favour. but you declined the offer. -i'm supposed to screw him, not screw over his kid. but we've been presented with a better opportunity. if i'm in that house, my movements will be restricted. i'll be watched every moment. and you can watch them. -you can see and hear everything that goes on in that house. it's far more useful to us. deacon? aidan will be point, zoe will provide intel and run surveillance with fowkes. -good. by the way, no wires. why not? a chinese agent posing as an investor wore a wire to a meeting with jack turner two weeks ago. a few days later his body was found floating in the thames. -we'll get you out of there as quickly as we can, sam. (screams) get off! get off! let me out! -let me out! i want another handler. good morning to you, too. sorry but you're stuck with me. well, get on with it then. -a dutch engineer, horst goebel. he's arriving tonight from city airport to meet the turners. sam: what do we know about him? he appears to be a bit of a cypher. -no photos, just a brief bio online. he specialises in water contamination. do we know the nature of goebel's business with turner? that's what we need you to find out. engage him in conversation, copy any documents that he brings with him. -that's gonna be a little tough with a 10-year-old on my arm. crane figured that. video eyes. plant them in the library. keel says there's a mole on the team. -who? he doesn't know. then why did he tell you? did it occur to you that there is no mole? that he's just trying to rattle you because he can't bare not knowing where you've been? -so why tell me? because if you're the mole, you'll run. (speaking dutch) (yelling) dad! -stephen: yep. ah, miss kent. i'm so glad you decided to come. hello, eddie. -have you come to stay for a bit? for a bit. your room's on the second floor. it's just across from eddie's. mrs sidwa will show you up. -perfect. you wanted to see me? what's the matter with you? you lost your marbles or something? dad, if she hadn't done what she did... -drop her a couple of grand, thank her very much, end of story. he asked after her, dad. he actually asked after her, you know. she's the first person eddie's shown any interest in since becky died. a stranger. -in this house... bingham checked her out. it'll be good for eddie having her here. what do you know about bringing up a kid? about as much as you. -i did my best. well, i'm going to do better. my first born's not going to end up gutted with his dick cutoff. just get rid of her, stevie. not even biscuits. -and uht? i hate uht. it's got that chalky aftertaste. makes me gag. "ultra-pasteurised." -is it just me that's bothered? we could be here weeks drinking this, all of us getting that chalky aftertaste. shut up, fowkes. the reason i left the forces was so i didn't have to keep drinking this shit. i thought it was because they threw you out. -yeah, bring that up, why don't you. that's very painful to me, you know. you're causing me pain. why's hasan on this? keel wanted him. -you trust him? hell, i don't trust you. hasan. can i go and get some proper milk? no. -nobody leaves unless specifically ordered. fine. so did you talk to her? did she tell you anything? about where she'd been? -anything at all? why would she talk to me? well, you're a woman. you tell each other things. i'm a woman? -shit, man! i wondered what these were doing here! funny. mmm-hmm. so once round thorough check and i want you phoning in no later than 4:00, all right? -(door unlocking) bingham: sir. the kpek documents have just arrived. your father would like you to review them -stephen: okay. and we're up. she's good all right. yeah. -goebel's arriving on a lufthansa flight into city in 45 minutes. all right. hasan, i want you to go to city airport and watch for goebel. why can't fowkes go? 'cause i'm ordering you. -how am i supposed to recognise him? i'll send you his sim data. just track him when he comes online. hasan, nip in the shop and pick us up a few things. good lad. -(mobile ringing) yes. that's right. where? who is this? -(knocking on door) sir. what is it, bingham? i have some good news. shit, scramblers are killing the audio. -(distorted speech) well, something's going on. are you ready for bed? would you like me to read you a story? my mummy read them all to me. -she's not alive any more. i know. i'm sorry. dad says you had a family. i did. -they died, too. they did. you know tomorrow? for your breakfast, we have every cereal. and whatever's your favourite, we probably have it. -and if we don't, mrs sidwa could go get it for you. i like most things. but i tell you what, i'll have the same thing as you. okay. -see you tomorrow morning. good night, eddie. sleep tight. don't let the bed bugs bite. come on! -is eddie sleeping? yeah. good. thank you again. here's to you, miss kent. -call me alex. alex. mr turner? he's arrived. thank you. -i won't be a second. stephen: doctor, so pleased you could make it. how was your trip? oh, it was fine, thank you. -miss kent, this is dr horst goebel. miss kent. non. oui. saw you breathing. -did not. hurry up. oui, d'accord. merci, merci. let's go. -dr hill? yes...? i'm going to get you out of here. i know you're in pain, but you have to move quickly and do exactly what i say. do you understand? -yes. ok. where are we going? somewhere safe. you're not government, are you? -who hired you? do you want to get out of here or not? you're on time. well, i thought i'd make the effort, seeing as it's a special occasion. how's that head? -where are you taking me? what going on? yeah. you need a rest, doc. you're good to go. -see you at base. let's go. vite! vite! you shouldn't be here. -i missed you. so how much longer are we going to keep doing this? we should go. keel's going to catch on to us, sooner or later. he might. -let's leave on our own terms while we still can. what is it? there's something i have to tell you. ok. not now. -well, when? cafe khalil, four o'clock. don't be late. i won't. right. -thanks. hello, you. 'let's leave on our own terms while we still can. 'there's something i have to tell you. 'not now... -well, when? cafe khalil, four o'clock. 'don't be late.' let's read it again. this is the story of the snow maiden. -once upon a time... he looks funny. he looks very handsome. i did it! come on, in you get. -goodbye, house. you stay nice and dry. i'll take it. the very second i open my eyes each morning, i consider the infinite variables of chaos that can occur during a working day, because i like to be one step ahead. -i don't like to be on the back foot. i don't like it at all. but i'm on the back foot now, because of all the infinite variables of chaos i pondered this morning, the one that never crossed my mind was that you'd be standing in front of me. an explanation would be good. i decided to retire. -that decision's not yours to make. good thing i changed my mind, then. what's up? sam? deacon. -i thought you were dead. guess not. you disappeared without trace for over a year. i've had daily signals placed in 24 newspapers for the last six months. i haven't been reading the papers. -where did you go? sightseeing. "sightseeing"? mmm, i was tired. i needed a change of scenery. -i'd be happy to take a polygraph. you can beat a polygraph. we need to know where you've been, sam. and i don't want to tell you. but if the question is whether you can still trust me, you can. -do you expect to come back to work? i'm your best operative. i put my neck on the block for you. i still have to report up, you know. i still have to deal with the questions, did you think about that? -did you think about the chaos you unleashed? do i get my job back? there's the door. we need her back. you know that. -so does she. yes? be here tomorrow. 0800. well, well! look who dragged her ass back in the door. -hasan. good to see you too. nice boots. thanks. put your tongue back in your head. -sam, right? ian fowkes. fowkes is ex-special forces. he's new to the private sector. my first op, actually. -really looking forward to working with you. morning. morning. morning. morning. -let's start. ok, target is jack turner, he worked the docks mid-to late... sorry i'm late. you're back. looks like it. -i'd have brought a cake if i'd known. zoe. as i was saying, jack turner, he worked the docks in the mid-to late-'70s. extortion, blackmail... you name it. then, after they shut down, he went into property. -he made a killing on the docklands. he obviously upset a few people because in 1996 his eldest son, john, was found murdered and mutilated. jack played the markets shrewdly and now runs his investments out of a townhouse off regent's park. personal wealth in excess of £300 million. blimey! -there are questions regarding how mr turner accumulated his wealth. some of his business associates have disappeared or turned up dead. mr turner is currently bidding to acquire the upper khyber dam, it's a billion-pound hydroelectric facility. the pakistani minister for privatisation is auctioning it off to the highest bidder, against fierce political opposition. there's a presidential candidate, fatima zahir, she's vowed to block the sale if she wins the election next month. -a billion-pound utility seems a bit out of mr turner's league. he's staking his entire fortune on it. so he'll use all his old tricks to ensure he wins. and our client wants us to ensure that he loses? yeah. -but not until we find out what mr turner's game really is. the agenda behind the agenda. what's our play? sam will be the draw. and the target? -stephen turner, jack's surviving son. stephen's public-school educated, he's a lawyer, widowed with a young son, edward, aged ten. they live in the regent's park house with jack. what happened to the mother? suicide, last year. -jack turner is controlling and aggressive. it won't be easy getting to stephen, or giving him a reason to trust you. i assume you have a plan. study the files. we have a lot of prep and not a lot of time. -good job, zoe. thanks. you good? what did you expect? i'm a spy. -nice place. you've seen it. you can go now. i knew you'd come back, sam. you couldn't stay away, even if it meant they'd try killing you again. -how did you know anyone did? sam, that cafe was a bloodbath. is that what you told keel? keel doesn't know. or at least i didn't tell him. -why not? i figured if you didn't report in, you must have your reasons. how did you know i wasn't dead? i saw your footprint. not a pulse in the place. -sam, what happened? i was set up. by who? you think it was me. no-one knew else knew where i'd be. -only you. ok. i can see that. i might even think the same thing. except that it's me you're talking about, sam. -right. so someone else found out where i'd be... that's right. they must have. how? -i don't know. not a pulse in the place... the bartender was alive when i left. he was most definitely dead. someone was sent to clean up. -sort of thing you're good at. ok, since you've got it all worked out, let's say, yes, i did order a hit on you, i couldn't go the normal route of "it's not working out between us, "we both want different things, it's not you, it's "me." no, let's go for an assassination instead. -but why would i want to kill my own child? i knew what you wanted to talk to me about, sam. i knew every tiny little inch of you. you think i hadn't noticed? i knew. -did, er, did you...? that answer your question? for god's sake, sam... you can't think that this was down to me. why would i want to do that to you? we were in love. -we were. so you want to find out who tried to kill you and why. and you think the best way of doing that is to let them try again. so you come back. i mean, you had to, sooner or later. -but ask yourself this... why won't you trust me? is it because you don't love me any more? or is it because you're afraid you still do? 'you have one new message.' i'm here, you're late. -i'm here, you're late. doors closing. sam, hide, get down! get off me. get off me, i'm calling the police. -no! nooo! eddie... eddie, stick with me. eddie! -eddie! move! get out of here! hey! eddie! -eddie, are you ok? miss kent. you all right? you ok? you're ok. -all in one piece. granddad's little soldier, aren't you, eh, eddie, eh? course you are. course you are. now you go with mrs s. -she'll give you some ice-cream. everything'll be all right. grandad'll sort it. good boy. what happened? -dad, it was quick, it was so quick, professional... what did he look like? i don't know, he was middle. eastern, i think, i don't know, it was quick. who's this? -dad, this is alex kent. she saved eddie. got any id? for christ's sake! id. -yes... yank. what are you, a tourist? not exactly. mr turner? -be with you in one sec, gents. thank you. what, then? if not a tourist, what are you? i'm here for a few months, looking for work. -do you want to stop this? she saved eddie. saved him. and we're very grateful. stephen, a word. -i'm sorry, miss kent. it's ok, really. no, it isn't. thank you so much. thank you. -would you like me to make a statement for the police? that won't be necessary, miss kent. ok. you wanted to see me? crane tells me it all went according to plan. -if you call terrifying a ten-year-old boy a plan. it's for the greater good. since when was one of our clients interested in the greater good? you wanted to come back, and i took you on. despite the fact that you lied to me, and you're still lying to me. -i've said all i have to say. i brought you to this company. i gave you a career. and i'm not ungrateful. you have a strange way of expressing your gratitude. -why did you want to see me, mr keel? we have a breach. bit of a coincidence, don't you think ? springing a leak just as you come back. are you accusing me? -i don't make accusations until i have the evidence to back them up, but when i have it, i will be remorseless, obviously. you look drained. it suits alex kent, it doesn't suit sam hunter. when you're ready to talk, i'm here. principal give you a spanking? -keel never leaves marks. he just don't like secrets, unless of course they're his. so you're not going to tell him, but you're going to tell me, right? you know me better than that. are these the men you saw? -that's them. yeah. these are turner's partners. from kpek, the norwegian firm that would manage the dam. no surprise, then. -yeah. stephen call you yet? not yet, but he will. let me know when he does. phone rings. -like i said! hello? hi, alex, it's stephen here, stephen turner. how's your little boy? eddie, yeah, he's fine, he's ok. -he's, er... he's still a bit shocked, actually. a lot's happened to him recently. i just wanted to thank you again for what you did. i really... -i don't know how to repay you. that's really not necessary. anyone would've done the same. yeah, but they didn't. you did. -i wondered... if i could meet you for a coffee tomorrow, if you have time. sure. my schedule's wide open, actually. great. good. -let's say the boat house, regent's park, three o'clock? three o'clock. i'll be there. game on. mr turner? -stephen, please. it's a remote-control car. i hope you don't mind, but i saw that eddie lost his yesterday. wow, thank you. that's very sweet of you. -he was asking after you this morning. he wanted to know if you were all right. that's so sweet. you tell him i'm fine. hi, can i take your order? -hi, tea, please. english breakfast with milk. i never really drank tea, but i've been in london three months now and i can't live without it. you're from indiana. that's right, bloomington. -i grew up there. right. who do you know in london? no-one, really. i wanted to make a new start, i guess. -my life has... taken a few unexpected turns of late. yeah. i'm sorry. you're sorry? i know about your car crash last december. -how do you know about that? i know your husband and daughter were killed. i'm sorry for your loss. are you checking up on me? i don't mean to scare you. -it's just that our lives, mine and eddie's, they're not usual. everyone gets checked, everyone. i didn't ask for this! i know you came here to london to leave the past behind. i understand that. -really, i do. i lost my wife... i didn't lose her, that's a stupid phrase. she died. but i'd go somewhere, i'd go anywhere different, with eddie, if i could, to start again. -what you did was so completely selfless... and in my world, no-one's selfless. i just want to help you. help me? so he wants you to move in? when? -now. at once. his son missed six months of school and needs tutoring. alex kent is an unemployed third-grade teacher who loves children. he thought he was doing us both a favour. -but you declined the offer. i'm supposed to screw him, not screw over his kid. but we've been presented with a better opportunity. if i'm in that house, my movements will be restricted. i'll be watched every moment. -and you can watch them. you can see and hear everything that goes on in that house. that's far more useful to us. deacon? aidan will be point, zoe will provide intel and run surveillance with fowkes. -good. by the way, no wires. why not? a chinese agent posing as an investor wore a wire to a meeting with jack turner two weeks ago. a few days later, his body was found floating in the thames. -we'll get you out of there as quickly as we can, sam. get off! get off! let me out! i want another handler. -good morning to you too. sorry, but you're stuck with me. well, get on it with it, then. a dutch engineer, horst goebel. he's arriving tonight from city airport to meet the turners. -what do we know about him? he appears to be a bit of a cipher. no photos, just a brief bio online. he specializes in water contamination. do we know the nature of goebel's business with turner? -that's what we need you to find out. engage him in conversation, copy any documents that he brings with him. that's going to be a little tough with a ten-year-old on my arm. crane figured that. video eyes. -plant them in the library. keel says there's a mole on the team. who? he doesn't know. then, why did he tell you? -did it occur to you that there is no mole? that he's just trying to rattle you because he can't bare not knowing where you've been? so why tell me? because if you're the mole, you'll run. dad! -yeah? miss kent, i'm so glad you decided to come. hello, eddie. have you come to stay for a bit? for a bit. -your room's on the second floor. it's just across from eddie's. mrs sidwa will show you up. perfect. you wanted to see me? -what's the matter with you? you lost your marbles or something ? dad, if she hadn't done what she did... drop her a couple of grand, thank her very much, end of story. he asked after her, dad. -he actually asked after her, you know? she's the first person eddie's shown any interest in since becky died. a stranger, in this house... bingham checked her out. it'll be good for eddie having her here. -what do you know about bringing up a kid? about as much as you. i did my best. well, i'm going to do better. my firstborn's not going to end up gutted with his dick cut off. -just get rid of her, stevie. not even biscuits. and uht! i hate uht. it's got that chalky aftertaste. -makes me gag. "ultra-pasteurized". is it just me that's bothered? we could be here weeks drinking this, all of us getting that chalky aftertaste. shut up, fowkes. -the reason i left the forces was so i didn't have to keep drinking this shit. i thought it was because they threw you out. yeah, bring that up, why don't you? that's very painful to me, you know. you're causing me pain. -why's hasan on this? keel wanted him. you trust him? hell, i don't trust you. hasan. -urgh! can i go and get some proper milk? no. nobody leaves unless specifically ordered. fine. -so did you talk to her? did she tell you anything? about where she'd been? anything at all? why would she talk to me? -well, you're a woman. you tell each other things. i'm a woman? shit, man! i wondered what these were doing here! -funny. so once round, thorough check, and i want you phoning in no later than four, all right. sir? the kpek documents have just arrived. your father would like you to review them. -ok. and we're up. she's good, all right. yeah. goebel's arriving on a lufthansa flight into city in 45 minutes. -all right. hasan, i want you to go to city airport and watch for goebel. why can't fowkes go? cos i'm ordering you. how am i supposed to recognise him? -i'll send you his sim data. just track him when he comes online. hasan, nip in the shop for us and pick up a few things. good lad. yes? -that's right. where? who is this? sir? what is it, bingham? -i have some good news. shit, scramblers are killing the audio... sound is broken up something's going on. ready for bed? -would you like me to read you a story? my mummy read them all to me. she's not alive any more. i know. i'm sorry. -dad said you had a family. i did. and... they died, too. they did. you know tomorrow... for your breakfast, we have every cereal, and whatever's your favourite, we probably have it. -and if we don't, mrs sidwa could go get it for you. i like most things. but i tell you what, i'll have the same thing as you. ok. see you tomorrow morning. -good night, eddie. sleep tight... don't let the bed bugs bite. come on! eddie sleeping? -yeah. good. thank you again. here's to you, miss kent. call me alex. -alex. mr turner? he's arrived. thank you. ..i won't be a second. -doctor, i'm so pleased you could make it. how was your trip? it was fine, thank you. miss kent, this is dr horst goebel. miss kent. -we're looking for this woman. you served in the special reconnaissance regiment together. you're late. what's your impression of sam? don't speculate on who the client is. -speculation leads to assumption... assumption leads to mistakes and mistakes will get you killed! sir... do you perceive her capabilities to have diminished in any way? no, i don't perceive that. -a man is down, we rescue him. i won't need you for this one, stevie. someone betrayed me, someone on the team. look, i will help you if you'll let me. and i'd let you if i could trust you. -subtitles by red bee media itd the look of envy. it was a look dalia was well-accustomed to receiving. me? not so much. -pick you up after school? okay. until now. nose kiss? scott strauss had chosen me over dalia. -and it was big. bye. bye. no, it was huge. it's like new york all over again. -the problem didn't go away, it just got bigger. heh. that was a reference to scott's...? correct. your daughter has a voracious sexual appetite. -she's got a hunger for the flesh that can't be satiated. you have a daughter. how can you joke like this? ha-ha-ha. because she's not sexually active. -she's an academic. like her mother. i know it's not my choice. i just don't want tessa to treat sex as a recreational hobby. well, have you told her that? -i tried to. what am i supposed to do now? i can't keep relocating her every time i find condoms. can i? i mean, i could. -we have the miles. namaste, you guys. i just had a tantric mani-pedi. ooh. "moon over miami," vice versa, my favorite song? how did you know? -i know. ah, it was orgasmic. that is the problem with chatswin. everything out here has to be sexualized. george is angry about his daughter's libido. -oh, dalia got horny early. so we had the sex talk years ago. i wouldn't wait, george. to have the sex talk? yeah, i think tessa knows where babies come from. -i'm not talking about that sex talk. the one where you explain all the different kinds of sex. different kinds? breakup, make-up, girl-on-girl... ...group-on-guy. -hate sex, date sex, pity sex party sex, pity-party sex. bi-curious, by the ocean. by the hour. the reverse andré the giant. no, tessa's not doing any of that. -she's going to if she hasn't already. and you can't stop her. i sure can. it's simple. if i wanna keep tessa away from boys all i have to do is find something more fun than having sex. -jenga! heh. take a block from the bottom and you put it on top. you take a block from the middle and you put it on top. well, we've got other games. -you guys ready for a good old-fashioned game night or what? i cut my teeth on chutes and ladders or snakes and ladders, as it's called on the streets. but, uh, i'm up for anything. i was under the impression tessa would be here. we're gonna surprise her. -hungry hungry hippos? life, yahtzee, connect four? oh, what about monopoly? you're a purist. respect, but i gotta be the boot. -surprise! ooh, oh. uh, surprise, you're hanging out with my friends when i'm not home? yup. for the record, i said this was weird. -oh, dad, this is scott strauss. oh, hello, scott. ahem, do you play yahtzee? you said monopoly. i just set up the bank. -scott and i have dinner plans, so... okay. "dinner plans." "scott and i." "actually." heh. how grown-up. scott, can you wait outside? -i think my dad's having a stroke. sure thing. nice meeting you. yes. nice meeting you too, ahem. -hey. get it. what was that? what was what? what did you just tell him to get? -what is wrong? what's wrong with you? nothing. i'm behaving very normally. it's friday. -i'm going on an age-appropriate date with a cute boy. you're a grown man, home playing pictionary with minors. the yogurt may have been flowing that night but the conversation between me and scott was as stale as that crushed cookie topping. all the kid ever talked about was how he volunteered for a year in zambia. i wish i could have taken you for bambara. -it's this dish i used to eat when i was living... let me guess. zambia? yeah. oh, too bad we can't have it because we're not in zambia. -we're in chatswin. i know that. do you? yeah. in zambia, in the summertime, it gets surprisingly cold... -did you ever see this internet video of this kid coming home from the dentist after he has had too much anesthesia? no. it's funny. i love funny stuff. you? -yeah. it's just hard to laugh when you know people are starving. in zambia? are you gonna finish that? i will now, yeah. -thinking about going back next summer. you should. you should go. is everything okay, tessa? no, everything was not okay. -i was sick of hearing about scott's one adventure. i would have dumped him at that very moment had it not been for the war i was waging against dalia. kiss me, scott. kiss me like i'm africa. buy a hotel. -oh, we will. we will. i just got another hotel. malik's still in jail. sorry, malik. -you don't seem sorry. can i top you guys off? yes, please. i never get soda at home. she's had enough. -oh, i was rooting for you too. wow. eight forty-five. i was sure tessa and scott would be home by now. what do you think they might be doing? -i mean, you know, what do you guys generally do with your dates? well, theoretically, i would take my lover up to mountain julian and share a soft cheese from wisconsin. they're just as good as the ones from france, but more affordable. then we would sit up there till the sun came up and talk about our hopes and dreams and dancing with the stars. i'd like to go somewhere dark so we could make out. -make out. yeah. sure. i'm down with that. that's... -yeah. get it. so, what about intercourse? can i call my mom to come get me? i mean, typically, what age do kids partake nowadays? -it's okay, malik. i'll answer this one. mr. altman, the right age depends on the individual. and each individual can determine what that proper age is by consulting the online virginity calculator. that's not a real thing. -enter height, weight, hair length, zip code. it'll tell you when you're ready. eighteen. sixteen. but i can wait. -come on, 21. let's go, 21. here we go, 21. sixteen? she's 16 right now. -what if i made her get a haircut? thank you so much for making a house call to pick up our dry-cleaning. ah, the club makes everything so convenient. did you know we have a pediatric urologist? i did not. -super-duper. hmm. don't forget to check the pockets. oh, let's see if we can't find some extra tip money for you. oh, dear. -are you kidding me, javier? are you kidding me right now? i don't know what... look at this thing. it's an m-l. -an m-l. do you have any idea how many hours i spend at the gym keeping it tight so he can get down with an m-l? that is it. that is the last straw. it'll all be ready by tuesday. -and give me back them giant panties. morning, dad. oh, hey. gonna head over to lisa's in a minute. yeah? -she invited me to sleep over tonight. feel like i haven't seen you much. i know. but i feel like lisa's feeling neglected because i've been spending so much time with scott. so is it cool? -yeah, it's cool. it's very cool. but before you go, i thought you'd probably want these. i don't think lisa and i need those. i'm returning them. -they' re yours. no. found them in your room. going through my room? no, i was in there to turn off the music. -and then i saw them. in a box. which i opened. so here we are, back to square one. i could say the same. -george, those were given to me. safe-sex fairy? why do i even bother? you know what? think what you wanna think. -trust me when i tell you, you will regret it if you have casual sex. it's not a casual thing. it's something you share with the right person. is he the right person? goodbye, george. -i'll see you tomorrow. talk to me. that's something you earn, not demand. tessa. you treat me like a child. -i do not treat you like a child. you forgot your squishy. ah, thanks again for coming in on a saturday, aaron. oh, please, come on, come on, come on. don't be stupid. -i'd do anything for you, dallas. i mean, you're a client, but you're also a friend. and also i was coming in anyway. steven freaks out over nothing. he freaks out if i wear my shoes in the house but i'm supposed to turn the other cheek on these? -these panties are a slap in the face, aaron. look, look, steven is not a saint. we've been down this road before. but he's an excellent provider. so you have to ask yourself this question: -is this a really big problem, or a "you can live with it" problem? is it huge? or just m-l? because once you serve him the papers, the papers can't be unserved. okay. -but i'd like to submit these into evidence. he's just become so controlling. scott? george. that's got to the point where i can't stand the sound of his voice. -george. scott. why don't you just tell your dad nothing happened between you and scott? then he'll get off your case. no. -too kind. i want george to sweat it out. maybe i'll even fake a pregnancy like kenzie did. ha. payback for going through my room again. -okay. sleep on that. good night, tessa. good night. i think malik made a pass at me during game night. -well, the bacon certainly looks crisp this morning, heh. mm. it is. it's crisp. ha, ha. -keep us posted, fred. i heard about you and scott strauss. i just wanna say, i approve. shut up, ryan. he has great hair. -dad. it doesn't hurt me to see you with him. anyone want anything? i want you back. uh-huh, i will go get some muffins for the table. -that's a lot of muffins. worked up an appetite... ...after all the sex i've been having. ah, uh-huh. funny. -or who knows, maybe i'm eating for two? i'm thinking xavier if it's a boy. or a girl. you're just being silly now. come on, tessa. -i wasn't going through your room. yet you were going through my room. good morning, guys. steven's sleeping with a heifer. i'm gonna go hit the gym. -i'll come with. i can't get through to her. she treats me like i'm out of touch. i'm the cool dad. what? -i'm not the cool dad? george. think about how you were back in the day. you had sex with a lot of the ladies, all right? you were the champion. -you were undefeated. how many women did you bring down to the mat? you're being inappropriate. old george would have high-fived me right there and then had sex. with her. -just because you're a dad doesn't mean you can't be a dude. be a single dude. don't be a single dad. if not for you, then for me and the rest of the married guys who can only have sex with our wives, if at all. hey, jill. -george needs to chill out. i don't even know if i wanna do it with scott. he wants to know how i feel before i know how i feel. hill. yeah, sure, scott is cute and everything. -and it's not like he's an idiot. but truthfully? he's kind of boring. wait, does that sound mean? i don't mean it to sound mean. -pop it low. and enough about zambia. we get it. you've been to africa. you're a do-gooder. -but you know what you're not good at? catch and pivot at the waist. basic conversation. the truth is, ah, we don't have anything in common. there's no spark. -so, what am i holding onto? thanks, dallas. this really helped. it sure did. hello, aaron? -george? jocelyn. you forgot your glasses at the club this morning. these are ladies' glasses. oh. -and they're bifocals. oh. and they're not mine. thanks for coming all this way. oh, yeah. -i pass by your place all the time. but you probably don't notice. i need to get tessa's clothes. they're cottons and if i leave them in there too long then she is a wrinkled mess. you're a really good dad. -yeah. but i'm also a dude. oh, i know you are. wait, wait, wait. i don't wanna give you the wrong idea. -no. give it to me. give me the wrong idea! grab it. grab it. -slap it. trick it. trick it? who's a hungry hippo? i'm a hungry hippo. -connect all four. you connect all four. you like games. i'm gonna slide down your chute and climb your ladder. you need a monopoly. -i'm going to jail. i got you! i got your hair. i got your hair! yahtzee. -ugh. the workout with dallas had given me clarity. i knew what i had to do i felt strong. and so did my abs. round back. -hi, tessa. this is for your father. oh. how did you know? it's a traditional african courtship offering. -wasn't easy to find a goat. took some doing on my part... i'm sure dad will appreciate the gesture. really. i'm just not sure about the whole courtship thing? -i know this seems weird and there's a goat involved which you're probably not used to, but in our culture, sex is trivialized. and i just wanted to make sure that our first time had meaning. you deserve a thousand goats. thanks. tessa, don't think i didn't notice. -you've been pulling away. you wanted a physical relationship, but i wasn't ready for it. i did, but then i got to know you and... i didn't wanna lose you, so i got ready. and now i'm ready for it. -lay with me. keep in mind, my parents will be back by 6. i decided not to lay with scott. and the two of us went our separate ways. i got custody of the goat. -wow. hey, tessa. hey, goat. i was just, uh, returning a pair of ladies' bifocals that didn't belong to your dad and then i tripped and i broke my, ah... you don't have any water on you, do you? -okay. cool. okay. what's with the goat? it's for you. -from my ex-boyfriend. ex? it wasn't what you thought, george. it wasn't what i thought, either. oh. -but for the record, unless that was your one true love i spotted on the way out of here... ...you are a big fat hypocrite. i stand by what i said earlier. you do it for the wrong reasons, you'll regret it. this goat has better judgment than you. -hey, lay off the sneakers, goat. but some people just don't wanna be told what to do. and dallas was one of them. this is my house. tell me what to do in my house. -this is how you leave a man, yakult. mommy, are you and dad getting a divorce? two birthday parties, two christmases and two bedrooms to decorate. i am so happy, you guys. you're so lucky. -i know. i wish my parents were getting a divorce. i know. there it was again. the look of envy. -chatswin's gotta be the only place on earth where divorce was something you high-five over. gentlemen, when you're ready to order just call me if you know how to calla person, which it doesn't seem like you do. i'm starving, i'm gonna go with the power parfait. i'll just have eggs over easy. you like everything over easy. -go with the scramble. i'm gonna have scrambled eggs, uh, with a side of fruit. have something extra on the side? okay, this is what i was afraid of. i said i didn't wanna give you the wrong idea. -but as i recall, you gave me the wrong idea. hmm? i'm kidding. i'm only kidding, george. heh. -you goof. i'll be right back with your eggs. ha, ha. ladies and gentlemen, weighing in at 180 pounds in this corner the champion of lovemaking, gorgeous george altman. okay, okay. -he's back. he's not back. yes, he is. though i would not eat those eggs. the look of envy... -it was a look dalia was well-accustomed to receiving. me... not so much... pick you up after school? okay. until now. -nose kiss? scott strauss had chosen me over dalia, and it was big. bye. bye. no. -it was huge. it's like new york all over again. the problem didn't go away. it just got bigger. that was a reference to scott's... -correct. your daughter has a voracious sexual appetite. she's got a hunger for the flesh that can't be satiated. you have a daughter. how can you joke like this? -because she's not sexually active. she's an academic... like her mother. i know it's not my choice. i just don't want tessa to treat sex as a recreational hobby. -well, have you told her that? i... tried to. what am i supposed to do now? i can't keep relocating her every time i find condoms, can i? i mean, i could. -we have the miles. namaste, you guys. i just had a tantric mani-pedi. uh, moon over miami vice versa my favorite song? how did you know? -i know. h. it was orgasmic. that is the problem with chatswin. everything out here has to be sexualized. george is angry about his daughter's libido. -dalia got horny early, so we had the sex talk years ago. i wouldn't wait, george. to have the sex talk? yeah, i think tessa knows where babies come from. i'm not talking about that sex talk. -i'm talking about the one where you explain all the different kinds of sex. different kinds of... breakup, makeup, girl-on-girl, group-on-guy... hate sex, date sex, pity sex, party sex, pity party sex. bi-curious, by the ocean... -by the hour. the reverse andre the giant. no. tessa is not doing any of that. well, she's going to, if she hasn't already, george, and you can't stop her. -i sure can. it's simple. if i want to keep tessa away from boys, all i have to do is find something more fun than having sex. jenga! youtake a block from the bottom andyouputitontop youtake a block from the middle andyouputitontop -well, we've got other games. you guys ready for a good old-fashioned game night, or what? i cut my teeth on chutes and ladders, or "snakes and ladders," as it's called on the streets, but, i'm up for anything. i was under the impression that tessa would be here. yeah, we're gonna surprise her. -hungry hungry hippos, life, yahtzee, connect 4... what about monopoly? you're a purist. respect, but i gotta be the boot. surprise! -surprise... you're hanging out with my friends when i'm not home? yep. for the record, i said this was weird. dad, this is scott strauss. -hello, scott. you... you play yahtzee? you said we were playing monopoly. i just set up the bank. actually, scott and i have dinner plans, so... -okay. "dinner plans." "scott and i." "actually." how grown-up. scott, can you wait outside? i think my dad's having a stroke. sure thing. -nice meeting you, mr. altman. yes, very nice meeting you, too. hey. get it. what was that? -what was what? what did you just tell him to get? dad, what is wrong with you? what's wrong with you? nothing. -i'm behaving very normally. it's friday. i'm going on an age-appropriate date with a cute boy. you're a grown man home playing pictionary with minors. the yogurt may have been flowing that night, but the conversation between me and scott was as stale as that crushed cookie topping. -all the kid ever talked about was how he volunteered for a year in zambia. i wish i could have taken you for bambara. it's this dish i used to eat when i was living in... let me guess it. zambia? -yeah. too bad we can't have it, 'cause we're not in zambia. we're in... chatswin. i know that. -do you? yeah. in zambia in the summertime, it gets surprisingly cold. did you ever see... this internet video of this kid coming home from the dentist after he has had too much anesthesia? no. -it's funny. i love funny stuff. you? yeah. it's just hard to laugh, you know, when you know that people are starving... -in zambia. are you gonna finish that? i will now. yeah. i'm thinking about going back next summer. -you should. you should go. is everything okay, tessa? no. everything was not okay. -i was sick of hearing about scott's one adventure, and i probably would have dumped him at that very moment, had it not been for the war i was waging against dalia. kiss me, scott. kiss me like i'm africa. buy a hotel. we will. -we will! just got another hotel. malik's still in jail. sorry, malik. you don't seem sorry. -can i top you guys off? yes, please. i never get soda at home. she's had enough. aw, i was rooting for you, too. -8:45. i was sure tessa and scott would be home by now. what do you think they might be doing? i mean, i mean, you know, what do you guys generally do with your dates? well, theoretically, i would take my lover up to mt. -julian and share a soft cheese from wisconsin. they're just as good as the ones from france but more affordable. then we would sit up there till the sun came up and talk about our hopes and dreams and "dancing with the stars." i'd probably like to go somewhere dark so we could make out. -make out. yeah. sure. i'm down with that? that's... yeah. -get it. so what about intercourse? can i call my mom to come get me? i mean, typically, what age do kids... partake nowadays? that's okay, malik. -i'll answer this one. mr. altman, the right age depends on the individual. and each individual can determine what that proper age is by consulting the online virginity calculator. it's not a real thing. you enter your height, weight, hair length, and zip code. -it'll tell you when you're ready. 18. 16. but i can wait. come on, 21. let's go, 21. -here we go. 21. 16? she's 16 right now. what if i made her get a haircut? thank you so much for making a house call to pick up our dry cleaning. -the club makes everything so convenient. did you know we have a pediatric urologist starting next week? i did not! super duper. don't forget to check the pockets. -let's see if we can't find some extra tip money for you. dear. are you kidding me, javier? are you kidding me right now? i-i don't know what... -look at this thing! it's an m/l! an m/l. do you have any idea how many hours i spend at the gym keeping it tight so he can get down with an m/l? ! -that is it! that is the last straw! it'll all be ready by tuesday. and give me back them giant panties! morning, dad. -hey. i'm gonna head over to lisa's in a minute. yeah? she invited me to sleep over tonight. i feel like i haven't seen you much. -i know, but i feel like lisa's feeling neglected 'cause i've been spending so much time with scott. so is it cool? yeah. it's cool. it's very cool. -but... before you go, i... thought you'd probably want these. i don't think lisa and i need those. i'm returning them to you. they're yours. -no, they're not. found 'em in your room. so you were going through my room? no, no, i was in there to turn off the music, and then i saw 'em... in a box... -which i opened. so here we are, back to square one. i could say the same thing. george, those were given to me. safe sex fairy? -why do i even bother? you know what? think what you wanna think. trust me when i tell you you will regret it if you have casual sex. it's not a casual thing. -it's something you share with the right person. is he the right person? good-bye george, i'll see you tomorrow. talk to me. yeah, well, that's something you earn, not demand. -tessa! you treat me like a child! i do not treat you like a child! you forgot your squishy. thanks again for coming in on a saturday, aaron. -please, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. don't be stupid. i'd do anything for you, dallas. i mean, you're a client, but you're also a friend. and also... -i was coming in anyway. steven freaks out over nothin'. he freaks out if i wear my shoes in the house, but i'm supposed to turn the other cheek on these? these panties are a slap in the face, aaron. look, look, -steven is not a saint. we've been down this road before. but he's an excellent provider. so you have to ask yourself this question. is this a really big problem or a you-can-live-with-it problem? -is it huge, or is it just m/l? of course, once you serve him the papers, the papers can't be unserved. okay. but i'd like to submit these into evidence. he's just become so controlling. -scott? george. and that... that's gotten to the point where i can't even stand the sound of his voice. george. -scott! tessa, why don't you just tell your dad nothing happened between you and scott? then he'll get off your case. no. too kind. -i want george to sweat it out. maybe i'll even fake a pregnancy like kenzie did. ha! payback for going through my room again. okay. -sleep on that. good night, tessa. good night. i think malik made a pass at me during game night. well, the bacon certainly looks crisp this morning. -it is. it's crisp. keep us posted, fred. i heard about you and scott strauss. i just wanna say i approve. -shut up, ryan. he has great hair. dad. it doesn't hurt me to see you with him. i'm gonna go get some grapefruit. -anyone want anything? i want you back. i will go get some muffins for the table. it's a lot of muffins. well, i worked upa pretty bige after all the sex i've been having. -yeah, yeah. funny. who knows? maybe i'm eating for two. i'm thinking xavier if it's a boy... or a girl. -hey, y-you're just being silly now. come on, tessa. i wasn't going through your room. and yet you were going through my room. good morning, guys. -steven's sleeping with a heifer. i'm gonna go hit the gym. i'll come with. i can't get through to her. she treats me like i'm out of touch. -i'm the cool dad. what? i'm not the cool dad? george... think about how you were back in the day. -you had sex with a lot of the ladies, all right? you were the champion. you were undefeated. how many women did you bring down to the mat? you're being in appropriate. -see, the old george would have high-fived me right there and then had sex with her. just because you're a dad doesn't mean you can't be a dude. be a single dude. don't be a single dad. if not for you, then for me and the rest of the married guys who can only have sex with our wives... if at all. -hey, jill. george needs to chill out. i don't even know if i wanna do it with scott. he wants to know how i feel before i know how i feel. hill! -yeah, sure, scott is cute and everything, and it's not like he's an idiot... but truthfully, he's kind of boring. wait. does that sound mean? i don't mean it to sound mean. -pop it low. and enough about zambia. we get it. you've been to africa. you're a do-gooder. -but you know what you're not good at? catch and pivot at the waist. basic conversation. the truth is... we don't have anything in common. -there's no spark. so what am i holding on to? thanks, dallas. this really helped. it sure did. -hello, aaron? george. hi, jocelyn. you forgot your glasses at the club this morning. these are ladies' glasses. -and they're bifocals. and they're not mine. thanks for coming all this way, though. oh, yeah. i pass by your place all the time. -but you probably don't notice. sorry. i need to get tessa's clothes out of the dryer. they're mostly cottons, and if i leave them in there too long, then she is a wrinkled mess. you're a really good dad. -yeah. but i'm also a dude. i know you are. wait, wait, wait. i don't wanna give you the wrong idea. -give it to me. give me the wrong idea! grab it. grab it. slap it. -trick it. trick it? who's a hungry hippo? ! i'm a hungry hippo. -connect 4. connect all 4. you connect all 4. so you like games, i'm gonna slide down your chute, and i'm gonna climb up your ladder. -yeah. you into monopoly? i'm going to jail. i got your hair! i got your hair! -go ahead. all of it, all of it. yahtzee! the workout with dallas had given me clarity. i knew what i had to do. -i felt strong, and so did my abs. round back! hi, tessa. this is for your father. how did you know? -it's a traditional african courtship offering. it wasn't easy to find a goat. took some doing on my part, so... i'm sure my dad will appreciate the gesture, really. i-i'm just not sure about the whole... courtship thing. -i know this seems weird, and there's a goat involved, which you're probably not used to, but in our culture, sex is trivialized, and i just wanted to make sure that our first time had... meaning. you deserve a thousand goats. thanks. tessa, don't think i didn't notice. you've been pulling away. -you wanted a physical relationship, but i wasn't ready for it. i did, but then i got to know you, and... but i didn't wanna lose you, so i got ready. and now i'm ready for it. lay with me. -keep in mind my parents will be back by 6:00. i decided not to lay with scott, and the two of us went our separate ways. i got custody of the goat. hey! tessa! -hey, goat. i was just, uh, returning a pair of ladies' bifocals that didn't belong to your dad, and then i tripped, and i broke my... you don't have any water on you, do you?

two birthday parties, two christmases, and two bedrooms to decorate. i am so happy, you guys. you are so lucky. i know. -i wish my parents were getting a divorce. i know. there it was again... the look of envy. chatswin's gotta be the only place on earth where divorce was something you high-five over. -gentlemen, when you're ready to order, just call me if you know how to call a person, which it doesn't seem like you do. you know what? i'm starving. i'm gonna go with the power parfait. yeah. -i'll just have eggs over easy. you like everything over easy. just go with the scramble. you know what? i'm just gonna have scrambled eggs, uh, with a side of fruit. -got a little something extra on the side, do you? okay, this is what i was afraid of. i-i said i didn't want to give you the wrong idea. but as i recall, you gave me the wrong idea. i'm kidding. -i'm totally kidding, george. you big goof. i'll be right back with your eggs. ladies and gentlemen, weighing in at 180 pounds in this corner, the heavyweight champion of lovemaking... "gorgeous" george altman! -okay, okay. he's back! he's not back. yes, he is. although i would not eat those eggs. -fam... ily... guy! == sync, corrected by elderman == need to move? no problem. -take it yourself with u-haul. but i've never driven a truck before. no problem. u-haul lets anyone drive a giant truck, even though it's dangerous, because, hey, you're moving. sorry, i'm making a go of it in a new city. -all right, i'll see you guys in a couple of days. where are you going? i'm off to take pictures of lesbian butts. what? joe and quagmire and i are making a coffee table book called lesbian butts in '80s jeans. -i already got the first chapter right here. where'd you take all these pictures? you know, coffee houses, chevy dealerships, all the usual places. peter, you're not doing that. i got a ton of errands to run, and i need your help around here. -well, fine, if i can't do the book i'm gonna hurt something you love. you happy now? maybe we should discuss this in the other room. i don't like fighting in front of the kids. -no, i want to fight in front of the kids. i feed off the excitement of an audience. peter, for once you're going to stay here and help around the house. now, i need you to watch stewie till i get back. whoever did this, thank you. -all right, stewie, since lois says i got to keep an eye on you, we might as well have some father-son time, so i'm gonna measure your penis and then i'm gonna measure my penis, and we're gonna see whose is bigger. doesn't really seem fair. all right, let's see what you got. stupid game anyway. -hey, kids, coming up next, it's the jolly farm revue marathon. no, no, don't switch it. i want to watch jolly farm. son of a bitch. i got to spend the rest of the day watching stupid kid shows. -i'd rather watch paint dry. nice. wakey, wakey. good morning, mother maggie. heh, who's this? -i like this lady. hey, do you think mother maggie is married to father fa...? oh, probably not. and the unicorn slid down the rainbow to a field of jellybeans where she and the other villagers decided it had been the best day ever. oh, look, it's pengrove pig, and he's sharing his apples nicely, isn't he? -like a champ he is. and that's how you make a duck out of an oatmeal container. this is the greatest show in the history of television. mother maggie, you are a kindred spirit. this must be how twins who are separated at birth feel when they first meet. -trade house keys, bang each other's wives? yep. i can't dissect this pig, mr. kingman. it's against my religion. believe me, neil, it's no thrill for the pig to touch a jew either. -okay, how about you, meg, how are you doing? pretty good. it's, it's kind of cool cutting something that's not me. wow, that's some very impressive work. it's easy for meg to dissect a pig because she is a pig. -hey! all right, i'll let that one slide. meg, you have some real potential. have you ever thought about becoming a doctor when you grow up? i always just assumed i'd work on the docks. -don't limit yourself, meg. doctors wear a mask most of the time, so this isn't an issue. if you're interested the school has a program where you can shadow a real doctor and learn more about the medical field. yeah, wow, i'd love to check that out. great, i'll set it up. -i didn't know a pig could be a doctor. hey! you get just a few more of those. now, children, we're going to learn who wears a hat. can a fireman wear a hat? -yes. no? yes. can a policeman wear a hat? yes. -no way. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. yes, he can, i knew that. now, you at home, tell me, who else wears a hat? a very formal horse? -very good. even a bowling ball can wear a hat if you use your imagination. a bowling ball wearing a hat? this is what high-def was invented for. peter, what the hell are you doing? -being a good dad like you asked. i've been watching jolly farm with stewie for the last three hours. that's not stewie, that's a pineapple. oh, my god, where is stewie? i don't know, but i'm sure he's fine. -peter, he's a baby. you can't leave him alone. come on, it's good to have some alone time. you know, i spent a year alone on a desert island with nothing but a monkey to keep me company. you're saved, sir, we're going to get you back to civilization. -and how about we bring along your monkey pal? okay. yeah, we can teach him sign language and he can tell us stories about what you two did on the island together. no, n-no, no, no, let's, let's not, let's not bring the monkey. um, i have a peanut mm up my nose and it's now further up than my finger can reach. -i am ready to farm this out to someone. oh, stewie, there you are. peter, i asked you to do one simple thing-- watch the baby-- and you couldn't even do that. come on, stewie. geez, why's she got to be such a nag? -i wish she was more like mother maggie. mother maggie has an announcement, lads and lasses. i've had such fun playing and learning with you these last few years, but now, just as bees must leave the hive, i must leave jolly farm-- not that you asked, but to have fertility treatments-- so this will be our last episode of jolly farm. what? -no. they can't cancel jolly farm. peter, it's just a stupid kids' show. just a stupid kids' show? what about pengrove pig and the lollipop luau? -i-i-i don't know. this is going to leave a void, and somebody's got to fill it. i think you're overreacting. you don't understand, brian. what am i supposed to do without jolly farm? -i'll be like an italian mom without bad kids. hey, hey, hey, what the hell is all the commotion in here? we're not doing anything. you getting fresh with me? i'm tired of bailing both of youse out of prison. -we're both in college and we consistently make the dean's list. i'm telling your father. good. where the hell is our food? yeah, where are mom and dad? -and where's that awesome finger painting stewie did this morning? oh, here it is. thank you for bringing it up. i wasn't going to bring it up. -well, what's going on? you haven't eaten yet? no. where's your father? he was supposed to put the lasagna in the oven. -i ask him to do one thing while i'm at yoga. you go to an intro class and it's not even at the yoga studio. it's in someone's living room. and that's not even a yoga mat. that's the old pee pad from my crib. -uh, lois, you might want to check this out. what is it, brian? take a look. and now, boys and girls, it's time for petey's funhouse. ugh, another aaron sorkin show that's way over everyone's head. -how the hell did you even get a tv show, peter? i just answered an ad off craigslist, and after several hours of sexual torture, i had a show. don't answer that. i gave out that number under duress. lois, peter's show is on the local public access channel. -anyone can have one. yeah, petey's funhouse is actually replacing the bad audio basement show. and once the hot glue dries, your birdhouse will be complete. peter, you already do nothing around the house and now you're wasting more time with this nonsense. -geez, you're still getting on my hump about this? i help out around here. just this morning i changed meg's diaper and i sent her off to school. boy, can she kick, but she left here spotless. dr. hartman, thanks for letting me shadow you. -i just know i'm going to learn so much. it's my pleasure, meg, and you're in good hands. you see that diploma? yale medical school. wow, that's impressive. -thank you, i work very hard on my calligraphy. so, how about we take a little stroll around the hospital? this area is known as a hallway. don't worry, you'll pick up on all the technical doctor jargon pretty soon. hey, is it prescription or perscription? -i think it's prescription. prescription... that just feels weird in my mouth. perscription is better. oh, and there's the e.r. don't go in there unless you want everyone to yell at you. -hi, kids, i'm petey griffin. hi, petey! we're going to have so much fun on petey's funhouse today, but before we begin, your friend petey wants to sing you a song. and you are and you're not. okay, kids, it's story time here on petey's funhouse. -today's story is lesbian butts in '80s jeans. ooh, that's a classic. once upon a time, some chick in a leather jacket in front of me in the parking lot walked into home depot, and her butt looked like this. everybody see this? everybody see how shapeless this is? -she walked out of there with a bag of soil on each shoulder. now, before i show you this next one, has anyone here ever heard of the sturgis motorcycle rally? i know we have a lot of yuks here on petey's funhouse, but one thing that's not fun is a bully. now, how many of you kids out there have ever gotten bullied? aw, come on up here and tell us about it, champ. -well, my name is winston, and i'm quite fond of ballet. one time i tried out for little league in my ballet shoes, and the other kids made so much fun of me, i wet my pants. what, wait, what, like pee? how old were you? eight. -aah, too old! too old to be peeing yourself, baby pee pants. all right, you kids finish him off. hey, what do you got there? oh, i'm just playing with some lee logs. -what the hell are lee logs? a little something i created- lee logs. robert e. lee. you know, you got lincoln logs, you got lee logs. -i don't get it, can, can you build a house? you can build quarters. and people live there? they live there if you tell 'em to live there. i don't know if i like the idea of lee logs. -yeah, they're not selling very well. peter, dinner! no dinner for me tonight, lois. i have to go work on a bit for tomorrow's show. if i can kill 25 butterflies in a minute, -i won't have to show the audience my balls. peter, this is the fourth night in a row you've skipped out on us to work on your show. once again, i'm gonna be stuck cleaning up the kitchen, helping out with homework, and bathing stewie. you know, i'd lay off the nagging if i was you. i'm a children's tv star now. -i can have any three-year-old girl i want. just know that, lois. peter, i'm only asking you to do your share. well, it's getting on my nerves. like, right now, you are the most annoying thing in my life, with the possible exception of evite. -what's this?

yes! and what about those replying? -can they demonstrate their sense of humor through hilarious replies? yes, yes, yes to everything you're saying! i'm so excited to get started! you do that while i jump out this window! evite. -tell a friend and then kill yourself. and then when you get a little older, stuff will come out. uh-oh! sounds like my cranky new neighbor just got home. i hope she doesn't come over here and give me the business. -peter! oh, hi, saggy naggy. never mind with "hi!" it sounds like someone's having fun over here! you know i don't like that! -hey, kids. meet saggy naggy. real nice lady, huh? no! what can i do for you, saggy naggy? -you can stop having fun! but we like fun, don't we, kids? yes! well, too bad, 'cause you're all gonna eat your vegetables, listen to long stories about my cousins, and help me fold sheets! and you! -you're gonna help around the house, take out the garbage, and give stewie his bottle! yeah, i heard it. they say my name on tv all the time; calm down, bitch. make me dinner, and go rent twilight, and do mouth stuff on me, even though it's been a day-and-a-half since i've showered, and i've used several public bathrooms in the interim! -sounds like this could go on for a while, kids. hey, saggy naggy, i know what'll cheer you up. do you like pie? i guess. -well, how does this taste? well, i guess she thought it was a no-pies-in-the-face kind of neighborhood. wrong assessment of the neighborhood, sweetheart! and how are you today, mr... pa-ti-ent?

-maybe. here, you take a turn. wow, your heartbeat sounds a little fast. do you smoke? actually, i do. -ah, me, too. isn't it great? well, that's bad for you. you shouldn't do it. it raises your heart rate and can lead to emphysema or cancer. -that's impressive, meg. it's no big deal. it's just stuff i learned in health class. well, you're clearly a bright, young lady. and you've got quite a... head on your... shoulders. -thanks. dr. hartman, you just got this urgent message. oh, dear. prilosec, huh? no, it's below that. -oh. oh, my god. meg, i'm afraid my brother just tried to kill himself in prison. i-i have to go. you're gonna have to take things from here, i guess. -what? ! what are you talking about? well, you now know about as much as i do about this whole doctor thing. but i have no formal medical training. -ah, you'll be fine. i think that book on the shelf has most of the stuff in there. and don't forget the cheat sheet if you need a helping... hand. are we really buying fish at the same place we buy tires? and, w-what... "fazio"? -what, is that a brand of blu-ray player? stewie, this sweatshirt is so sophisticated. look, it says new york. people will think i'm from there. put your phone away; -we're at a funeral! oh, my god. look! it's saggy naggy. boo! -you're mean. i don't like you, saggy naggy. you stink, saggy naggy. my goodness, that's a very rude thing to say to someone. calling them saggy... -what the hell? ! young man, what do you think you're... lois, i just saw jessica alba on television. we've got 90 seconds; -let's go! peter, i'm not in the mood! that's okay. we can do it anyway. peter, i was assaulted in public because of you! -oh, my god, what happened? ! i'll tell you what happened. a group of kids attacked me at costmart because you portrayed me on your show as a raging puppet bitch! writers take from their lives. -you married a creative type. you knew this was a risk. what's that supposed to mean? well, the last few weeks, you've been nagging the hell out of me. peter, you think i like nagging you? -one of us needs to be an adult in this marriage, and it's clearly not you. is this about me wetting the bed just now? peter, don't you understand that i'm just looking out for this family? besides, without my nagging, you'd probably get yourself killed. or laid. -right, frat house? yeah! those knuckleheads should be studying. okay, you know what? fine, peter, that's it. -from now on, i'm not nagging you anymore. you're not? no, you're on your own. i'm done with it. i'm done with all of it! -well, great, i should probably get some sleep. tomorrow on petey's funhouse, we're doing who's on first. i'm gonna play costello, and abbott is gonna be played by live puma. peter, that sounds really d... you know what? sounds great. -have fun. thanks, lois. good night. lois? other families fight, too, right? -not this much. do you think maybe we should think about getting a... it is what it is. let's just get stewie to college and go from there. sir, if you're gonna want me to examine where you're having an issue, you're gonna have to be more specific than "thingee". -okay. it's not the front thingee. what's going on in here? where's dr. hartman? he had a family emergency. -i'm not really a doctor but i've been sort of filling in for him. you what? ! well, i think i want to go into medicine, so i was shadowing dr. hartman. i've actually been learning a lot, but then he just left me here! -well, you don't belong here! this is a professional medical institution with standards and regulations to adhere to! but, but i... i'm gonna have to ask you to leave. i'm sorry. -i'll go. my issue has resolved itself. and don't go anywhere, kids, 'cause coming up, we got some classic comedy with me and a puma. is dad really gonna do this? i told your father i was gonna leave him alone. -saggy naggy is keeping out of this. is the puma ready? maybe we should poke him with the "is-the-puma-ready?" stick. oh, my god, i can't let him do this! -come on, kids! we got to get down to that tv studio! okay, yeah, just step on the coloring book. that's cool. i'm asking you who's on first? -oh, my god! peter! cut the camera! cut it! roll a "petey learn-a-long song"! -oh, he's hurt bad. someone call 911! he's bleeding too much! he needs attention now! somebody help him! -do something! now she's nagging everyone. does anyone have any medical training? ! it looks like his jugular is severed. -i learned this at the hospital. mr. swanson, find me a first-aid kit! mom, hand me those towels. did i hold on to the ball? hang in there, dad. -i'm gonna get you fixed up. you can do it, meg. come on, meg. you've got to save him! peter, you need to let go. -l-lois? oh, peter, thank god! you're okay. i guess you were right about that puma. i don't know what i was thinking. -i should've listened to you. peter, i don't care about that. i acted like a real jerk, and i'm sorry, lois. i know you just get on my case 'cause you're looking out for me. i am, peter. -and it's only because i love you and i want the best for you and our family. i love you, too, lois. isn't anybody gonna thank me? yeah, i'll have a water if you're getting one. mr. griffin, you have a visitor. -hey. hey. i get it now. "who" is the man's name. aha, ah! -== sync, corrected by elderman == (slow music playing) jack: okay, can you give me a level? just talk into the mic, -say something about life. i grew up in london and one of my best friends thinks marriage is an illness. jack: well, he sounds like a smart chap, doesn't he? right, uh, we're set. -this is all very professional. did jeremy see all this? hold on, is this how it's gonna work? you ask me a question and then interrupt me? jack: -sorry, do you want me to do my job or not? well, i was hoping it might be a little bit more fun. helen: the big day! i know! -why are you doing it? that's a weird opener, but, okay, um... this is the way i do it, jeremy. look, you are welcome, of course, to find whole host of amateurs that will, uh, charge you through the roof, if you want it done the normal way. this is beneath you, isn't it? -(chuckles) asking me, as a local community tv, award-winning, documentarian on the life of garden insects, to film your wedding video means, i presume, is out of respect, and not because i work in television, therefore i can hold the camera whilst everybody else enjoys the day. which means? yes, jeremy, it is beneath me. -(chuckles) marriage is more than just a commitment, it's... a declaration of love to the whole world. helen: so you're not worried about a loss of identity? mrs... -what will it be? giddings. i'm not here to justify myself, am i? jack: you are jeremy. -it's called a documentary. it's a wedding video! i knew i should have just booked someone online. ah, so you don't respect my work? oh... -this is going to be an expensive lesson, isn't it? it'll be our wedding gift. was helen this mean to alex? her normal professional self. oh, god. -helen: doesn't it feel like society, the media, politicians, they're all pushing you towards this for their own agenda? um... no. can we take a break? -no, jack, that's too far, no. come on, wait! where are you... where are you going? wound-up and unsettled at exactly eight minutes. -nineteen minutes! damn! i know if you've won, i will never hear the end of this, will i? (sighs) (slow music playing) -(snoring) here we find the creatures known as the ralphus, sleeping with his adopted brother, the albert. collectively known as the dimwits. (parts) (sloshing water) -albert: what the fuck! jacky. oh, jacky boy. all right, albert, all right. -just a joke, yeah? all right, listen... all right, fine. i'm gonna kill you. i'm gonna take you down to chinatown. -(grunts) come on. do you feel that? do you feel that, jacky? ahhh! -do you submit, jacky? jacky! do you submit? all right. all right. -okay. look, i submit. i submit. just get off, get off! stupid. -two out of three! ahhh! off the ropes! (grunting)) you think you can win without the elixir of life and challenge me in my own domain? -i will be champion! (grunts) -(both screaming) come on! ralphus: the man in the chequered pants is taking you down! -(grunts) (all talking indistinctly) oi! oi! oi! -what the hell are you guys doing? sports entertainment, wrestling for the title. wwe, wwe, wwe... oh! -ufc. who wants coffee? all right. yeah, i'll have some of that fresh-ground stuff. ralphus: -got any soya milk? (groans) both: good morning! what are you doing in my room? -we, uh, made you breakfast. you're getting married. i'm getting married. my perfect day is here. (screams) -you're getting married! (all laughing) you're getting married! oh, shit! oh, shit! -oh, shit! ahhh! what is it? i think you broke my toe. what... -okay, let's start your perfect day... how. (vacuum cleaner whirring) mum! dad! -i'm up! (in spanish accent) it's a great day. my baby getting married. there's so much to do. eloy, get up! -get up! (in spanish accent) woman, this is my house. i get up when i'm ready to get up! okay, okay, i get up. (exhales deeply) -(screaming) all: neil! (panting) i don't know who you are, but you are about two seconds away from getting a serious pounding! (whirring) -(gasps) out! (whimpers) (panting) that's it, we're even, yeah, pete. -no, no, no. no, you still owe me money, so until i'm paid back... all right, dear? if it's any consolation, you do look very nice. oh, give my love to suzanne. -oh, fuck off! all right. oh, you fucking... (sniggers) yeah, go on, laugh. ha! -(sighs) peter, what the fuck was that? don't worry, man, i'm not gonna say a word. (scoffs) i didn't. i swear i didn't. -mate, she's never, ever, going to hear it from me, okay? so you just have a drink, relax. i'm just going to go downstairs and give you a minute. (whirring) (sighs) -(all sniggering) {shushes) (retches) soy sauce! yeah, very mature, guys! jesus! -(upbeat music playing) good... oh! morning. yeah. -(chuckles) do it, baby, yeah! hey, bitches! hey, sarah. hi. today's the big day! -are you excited? yep. (sighs) by the end of today, i am gonna be mrs alexandra christina fernandez-giddings. i know it'll make us cousins, but if i weren't in it by blood, i don't know if i'd marry into this family, so good luck. thanks. -just kidding. or maybe i'll be mrs giddings-fernandez. yeah, do it. rock on. it's a bit new age, isn't it? -where's anisha? (both moaning loudly) i thought she was with you? no. i thought she came here. -great. well, when did you last hear from her? at the hen night. do you think she's okay? yeah, she'll be here. -she's been looking forward to this as much as you, trust me. i'm just going to check my phone. sarah: yeah, me too. great. -it's the morning of my wedding and one of my bridesmaids is missing. (anisha moaning loudly on phone) oh, god. okay, she might miss it, but i guess this explains where she is. (anisha continues moaning) -i mean, really, anisha? okay. just relax, i'm gonna go tell everyone. (sighs) -(door closes) (indie music playing on radio) -whee. (sighs) that looks really tasty. i bet alex had a cooked breakfast this morning. the girls probably cooked for her, though. -what? did you, you know, with the guy in your bed? alex, i did nothing. he's just a stupid man with a stupid name, ralphus, making stupid comments. -now, now, hold on. you know how sensitive i am about my name. my mum's mind was going through some things at the time... what? her arse? -(chuckles) killer shot! well, okay, so you think i'm stupid? at least i didn't turn down candy-lips last night. marriage is not just a "once the ring is on the finger" thing. okay, well, what about that bloke in your bed this morning? -all right, i'm a little bit confused about that. anyway, last night wasn't even that type of night. i thought it was pretty tame. (club music playing) you're right, it wasn't. -shouldn't you two be getting ready? yeah. delicious. mmm. (chuckles) i have good news and bad news. -why is there never just good news? what is it? well, i guess it kind of started at alex's hen night. (club music playing) sarah: -that party was so awesome. it had absolutely everything. we really outdid ourselves. but you know anisha, she's just never satisfied. (inaudible) -then what happen? i mean, i'm shock. this is hen night? (chuckles) i'm sorry, what exactly are you trying to tell us? -anisha and that stripper have run off together. (both moaning on phone) she would send video to you? both: yeah, anisha would. -oh. yeah, i'm sure it's her. god, anisha, come on. so what's the good news? oh, yeah. -prada sale, 50% off. ooh, really? (chuckles) a bond between two people that love each other, and the day they become more than just a couple. jack: -a couple of what? why won't you marry helen? i'm asking the questions. so, do you think marriage is just vanity? obviously you do. -you see it in your mind 1,000 times over. perfecting every little detail. the flowing white dress, and horse-drawn carriage, huge cathedral... helen: so how close will this be to the dream? -well, i know i'm getting the white dress. i love her and i'm proud to say that to the whole world, and if that's vain, well, book me in for a pedicure. as for the other stuff, the church, dress, cake... i just want it to be right for her. the day itself is a bigger deal for the guy. -helen: are you serious? (scoffs) that's ridiculous. come on. a big open display of emotion? -how often do men do that? guys might think about being married, but girls dream of a wedding. helen: emotion? aren't most men driven by their dicks? -yeah. maybe. but jeremy's different. (toilet flushes) (exhales in disgust) -my god, you stink, man. what do you eat? rhino? why have we got to smoke in here? because he doesn't like it, so we always smoke in here. -say it's coming through the vents, he'll blame the neighbours. i think i've done a double-flusher. something's turning in my stomach. it must be nerves. what are you nervous about, anyway? -i don't know. this time tomorrow, it's all over for jeremy. you're right, actually. you know, we'll be free, single, getting the ladies, and he'll be done. no more one-night stands. -no more sneaking out in the morning before the nagging. no more telling them, "i'll call you", and not calling. (sniggers) in theory, no more lies. full stop. yeah, i couldn't handle that. -i would hate it. never getting married, me. i'll tell you what, though, alex is a nice girl. looks after him well. gets on with all his mates. -dynamite in the sack, he says. got a good job. hope i get a girl like that. yeah, i'd marry her in a heartbeat. me, too. -(sighs) well, i'd give her one anyway. what? what did you say? what? alexandra? -what? jeremy's girlfriend, you'd give her... unbelievable... you are unbelievable. something's wrong with you, man. -you're unbelievable. what have i done? just... sorry, i was just... i know what you mean, though. -get those legs right over her head. (both chuckling) (both sigh) have you got the rings on you? yeah. -show me the rings. i haven't seen them, show me. rings? they're just silver rings. this one. -that is a silver ring. it is. a very nice one as well. (ring drops in toilet) oh... -what are you two doing in here? nothing, mate. just throwing your ring in the toilet. (chuckles) is that weed i smell? -no... oh. must be that neighbour again. listen, i don't care if you got glaucoma, stop smoking weed! all right, i'm getting ready. -get it. (sighs) (sighs) (gasps) did you just have a shower? -yeah. i don't have showers, i have baths. are you gonna live with jeremy when you're married? yeah. are you gonna sleep in the same bed? -yeah. yuck! he's a boy! are you gonna do it and make babies? where did you hear about that? -jenny at school says the man puts his penis in... okay. you know what? i need to get ready. (mumbling) -why don't you go talk to papa or something, okay? (pop music playing) (doorbell buzzes) what now? (sighs) oh, man. -(doorbell continues buzzing) couldn't you answer the door? it's not my house, mate. ah, my brothers, my brothers. what is this funny, funny business? -what? are you jeremy deadman? jeremy giddings. no, no, no. this is 69 pat-graf street, yes? -yeah. yes! i am ujay utaka, you are jeremy deadman. here you go. but my name's jeremy giddings... -my friend, i don't care what your name is. if you don't take this package, i'm going to throw it in the river thames. and, you, stop filming me with that camera, before i shove it in your bum-bum. -just sign here. must be a wedding gift. oh, you're getting married? congratulations. my cousin is getting married today as well. -have a nice day, jeremy. who was that? package for jeremy deadman. jack, get the boys. (water dripping) -what do you think of julie? julie's married. yeah, but, i mean, if... no buts. married. -(groans) you found it yet? oh, god, i thought i had it then, but i think it was just sweetcorn. why the fuck am i looking in here? you dropped it in here! -it was safe in my pocket until you asked to see it, so, technically, it's your fault. what am i even saying? it's your shit. it's your shitting fault. just get the ring. -jack: pete? what are you doing? albert's not feeling well. (muffled screams) -jeremy just got a package addressed to "deadman". oh, shin (grunts) what the fuck! (panting) (whimpering) -you sicken me. (exhales) are you nervous yet? no. it's three years since steve and i got married. -yeah, i know. that was a great day. yeah. you know wearing sexy underwear gets a bit redundant, right? okay. -uh... why is that, julie? one, they're uncomfortable. two, he'll barely notice. three, if you do get any action, he'll probably just pull them off, thrill himself for a couple of minutes, then go out drinking with his mates, coming back the next day smelling of some other girl's fanny -with a half-full pack of condoms, which you'll discover in a pocket while you're washing the grass stains out of his trousers. (chuckles) sorry, i'm only joking. okay. so... do you think he'll like? -mmm-hmm. jeremy, baby, this is all for you. (chuckles) helen: work it, baby. -(julie chuckles) helen: whoo-hoo! (julie chuckling) darling, we bring things for you. -(gasps) mama. do you not knock? we see all before. don't be silly, girl. hello again! -when you watch this, you married. i very proud. shut up, don't embarrass her. we bring traditional things, something new, borrowed, blue and old. something new! -mama! i told you they're amazing. (chuckles) let me see, let me see. aw, ma, thank you. -thank you, papa. oh, wow! see. mrs fernandez: hey, they look wonderful. -something old, borrowed, and, uh, blue. we borrow them from aunt delia, but she needs them back, because your cousin, she get married next month. we kill three cats, one rock. no. there's no way i'm wearing somebody else's knickers. -especially not those. it's tradition. all women in our family get married in these. i got married in these. plus, the luck of this bring a good bedroom life. -(both chuckling) (speaking spanish) come on, baby, for me. for mama. please, please, please. -(whines) (alex sighs) (sniggers) so beautiful. well, i can't reach anisha, her phone is still off. -why are you wearing granny panties? (julie sniggering) -(sighs) no. i say no. am i the only one? -none of you guys sent this? no. no. (all screaming) what the fuck is that? -shit! deadman. think someone's trying to send you a message. oh, you think? they can't be human, can they? -it's obviously a gesture of goodwill. it's a virility gift, innit? albert, what's that on your face? what? there. -(retches) jeremy, look, man, there's probably an ex-girlfriend who heard about the wedding who's all pissed off. you know how girls get all schizo, so just... or worse, could be the ex, old redhead herself. she never did get over you. -mandy. oh, well, this is all i need. (albert retching) you all right, mate? i can't believe he actually came. -well, we paid enough for him. yeah, that's true. i'm fed up of being filmed. already. man: -ooh, this decor is marvellous. (chuckles) remember the celebrity hair stylist we booked? well, he's here. alex, meet voller. i don't see much right now, but i do see potential. -pollyanna! potential? i see lots of potential. hmm. i'm sorry, but who are you? -alex, he's that celebrity from that reality show, hair today, gone tomorrow... (clears throat) no. for the next hour, i am the puppeteer and you are my work in this cruel theatre of life. hmm. -everybody out! out! out! bye. except you. -with the camera. my art must be captured. julie: good luck. right now you are a lump of coal, but when i am finished, you shall be a diamond. -voller: yes. uh, please, please don't go crazy. some of the greats were crazy, hmm? apparently walt disney was a nazi, and look what he achieved. -i don't know what her problem is. it's just a bit unusual, all being in one item. yeah, it's not that she doesn't appreciate it. well, she should. because it's old, borrowed, and blue, like it says. -you wash, right? hmm. it suits you. thank you. helen: -i'm shooting a make-over show. this would be so much more interesting if you were a bitch. yeah, i really, really... i love it. my regular guy said this style wouldn't suit my face shape. -the man is a buffoon. you guys are both welcome to come to the wedding, if you'd like. part of the service is that we do your hair, and make-up, or anything at the event, so, thank you. i can't attend. i'm exhausted. -my creativity is drained. but remember everything, pollyanna, and immerse me in the nuptials of the proletariat. i depart. (sighs) i love it! -(pop music playing) (all cheering) jack: and has marriage ever come up before? you know, like, in a previous, uh, relationship? -you know it has. helen: so you're doing this for him? we're doing it for us. it's not the 18th century. -women don't get married because they have to, they get married because they want to. we said "honesty". it's for the film. so put yourself back then. you didn't want to get married, she did, and... action. (smacks lips) i didn't love her. -i think you can think you're in love, but ask yourself if you wanna spend the rest of your life with that person and you might just reassess. him promising himself to me, and my belief in him. that means everything. jack: what's the difference with alex? -me. # with a beautiful face # with beautiful eyes, beautiful eyes # (jeremy singing) (screams) it's the only way he's gonna learn. -why are we using these cups? couldn't find the mugs. (sighs) i think i'm getting quite nervous, actually. it's not that hard, pete. i just had my face in shit... -yeah, yeah. not about the organisation. i mean, at the end of the day, he's gonna be mr giddings. what if he turns into his dad? jeremy? -jeremy! (in posh voice) jeremy, you getting married today, you big old fool? one of us could be next. (sighs) no. -i don't see any of us getting married soon. we're real men. mmm. ah. i mean, parents always go on about gaining a daughter or a son. -i mean, what do we get? nish. or lame excuses about why they can't go out with the boys, because them and the missus need some quality time. i mean, why don't people just say, "not tonight, i'm shagging the missus." twenty years, us boys. -we're like the beatles. now alex has come along and taken our lennon. there were four of them. well, you're like the fifth one that died of a brain haemorrhage or something, but is still here. to jeremy, still being a man. -pete. hmm. to jeremy and alex. the smart ones. do you think he's gonna change? -nah. he'll always be the one helping us out. good point, and today we have to help him. 'cause if mandy did send those balls in the jar, she's probably gonna turn up. we have to be on the lookout. -i don't want any more problems today. do you hear me? no more pranks. (screams) (gags) -wasabi? yeah, funny, you pricks! no more pranks. wow, you do really great work. thank you. -so, i called anisha's boyfriend, and he hasn't seen her in three days. but she picked up her dress, so that's a good sign. oh, i'm gonna kill her. it's my wedding day. she's run off with a bloody stripper. "the chap": (chuckles) -she's probably being fucked by "the chap" right now. she needs to stop thinking with her pussy and start thinking with her brain. alex: slut. well, i'm jealous. -really? jules! if there's anything you wanna add on tape about marital sex, or the lack thereof, i think it would fit in nicely with the wider brief. julie: -no. beautiful. you look amazing. jeremy's a lucky guy. you make sure he knows how lucky he is. -what else can we say? sluts get fucked 'cause they think with their pussy. (gasps) -(doorbel rings) the car is here. shut up. -baby, car is here. come on, vamos! i'll see you later. bye. okay, have we got everything? -old? new? borrowed? blue? sorry.

(all chuckling) i'm so glad i booked him. -no offence, but if it wasn't for him, your hen night would have been totally uninteresting. yeah, it would have been totally uninteresting. agreed. anyway, i got you a gift from him. (bell tinkles) -they're called love drops. they vibrate when you tense and emit little pulses - instant orgasms. gross. relax, i didn't use them. what do you do with them? -use your imagination, prissy. (giggles) oh. well, we shouldn't leave them lying around. (all chuckling) what? -oh, champagne! i'll get it. take those. and here's a fresh bottle. (squeals) -oh: (screams) oh, my god! oh, my god, i sat on the glasses! my arse! (sobbing) my bum-bum! -hello? helen: i'll be there in a sec. so, peter, what do you think about jeremy falling in love? well, you know, since his last relationship with mandy -(chuckles) ended quite badly, you know, it was amazing that he found love at all. what? exes not entitled to their say? helen: probably not, but go ahead. -just because i'm no longer part of the famous jeremy and his entourage... jack: how do you feel about the wedding? good. you know, i introduced the two of them. -sort of. more or less. well, i was there, weren't i? (chuckles) this should have been my seat. -she's an imposter. helen: right, that's... no, look, i'm just having my say. still sporting the doc martens, i see. -they complement each other like... like a fine beaujolais and a good brie. or like bangers and mash. saltfish and ackee. jack: -you haven't eaten today, have you? it was always us, you and me against the rest of the world. your cat dying was a terrible accident. you and your friends are total... (bhangra music continues) shit! -albert: what? alex and i agreed the car i got would be the one to leave in. her's is only booked to take her there. when she sees this waiting to whisk her away, she'll divorce me before she's even left the church. -and when she sees your jacket... well, the tailor could have made them better. these are pecks, not moobs. stop the car! are you serious? -what are you doing? the wedding starts in an hour, finishes in two. you've got until then to find a suitable car. albert: how am i gonna get a car in two hours? -where are you going? tell someone who cares! all i wanna do today is get married. what? where's the church? -notts road! and fix that jacket! you fix your face! right, come on, mate. is he for real? -(ambulance siren wailing) i tried calling jeremy. his phone's off. this was supposed to be my perfect day. it's gonna be okay. -let me call peter. my wedding day's always going to be remembered for julie's arse. (sighs) (phone ringing) pete... -sorry, it's the suit trousers. sorry, sorry. sarah? hello? what? -what's happened? julie's had an accident. jeremy: well, is she okay? is she okay? -jeremy: tell alex i love her. jeremy says he loves alex. tell julie i hope her... i hope she's okay. -okay, we'll see you soon. i don't think i can do this. what? it's nothing. it's fine. jeremy says he loves you. -look out! woman: sorry. (sighs) oh, my god, how are you feeling? -how do you think? helen, you keep that camera at this end of me, okay? (sighs) did you get through to steve? no. voicemail. -but peter says hi. he's hot for you, you know? what about the dress? the tears are small, it'll be fine. (sighs) oh, thank god you're okay. -where's the nurse? what did she say? she? hi. so we gave her a tetanus shot, and she needs to take it slow for a while. -just a few more stitches and then we're done, okay? oh, let's see. oh, no, no, no. please, guys, come on! oh, my god! -(sighs) how many stitches? twelve. four there, one there, three there, three there, and one... right there. (sucks in breath) -i didn't know you were pierced. mmm. (clears throat) (speaking foreign language) (all laughing) you know these trousers, they supposed to dry-clean? -yeah, i know, mate. it's, uh, my mate's wedding. i've only got five minutes. so... mate, huh? -right, i'm not being racist, but you lot are really freaking me out. we're late, where's the driver? in the toilet. got you a cushion. oh, thanks. -so is jeremy a sprayer or a lifter? what? does he pee on the toilet seat, or does he lift it and leave it up? will you get your mind out of the gutter, please? seriously. -cosmo says you can tell the type of man by what he does. if he pees on it, then he's rebellious and controlling. if he leaves it up, then he's unreliable and lazy. it's one or the other. it's rubbish. -(chuckles) it's true! julie? uh, steve pees all over. helen? he leaves it up. -sarah? hello? single. well, alex? it's always dry and down. -wow, a guy that doesn't pee all over the toilet seat. impressive. it's almost unheard of. but if that's what he does, then he's a rarity. or he's gay. -(chuckles) oh, god! wait, whay are we talking about how my future husband goes to the loo? and he's your cousin! gross! (sighs) -so, sarah, what's with the single thing? hate men? i don't hate men, i've just had my fill. excuse the pun. plus, the good ones are taken. -hey, that's not true. they're not all taken. i mean, peter's nice. average at best. but i guess we all like the taste of a bit of chocolate now and again. -god! you're such a dirty pig. we all know he and julie have sexual tension. excuse me, i don't think so. (sarah laughs) -have you ever thought about, you know, drinking from the furry cup? anisha? (chuckles) i don't know. no, women are crazy. all: -yeah, we are. totally crazy. yeah, we are. excuse me! finally! -yep? do you pee on your toilet seat? (grunts) driver: crazy. -so, jeremy? who do you think sent you the balls? man, if i'm late, you lot are taking the blame. what? why? -think about it. if she thinks i've ruined her big day, there will be no consummating of the marriage. you want us to take the blame for not getting to the church on time, and with a man down? yeah. -and you've been with her for ages. the fanny won't be any more special. can you not talk about her like that? this is my wife. future wife. -shut up! shut up! next time i'm best man, i want a contract. here. good luck, my friend. -you have balls turning up late, innit? what did you say? what do you know about the balls? huh, what? the testicles i got this morning. -get off me, man! you don't touch a man... how would he know? let's go. they're already here. -they're supposed to arrive after us. i'm so sorry, babe. it's all right, mate, it's all right. i'm ready. ugh! -what do you mean, "ugh"? deadman! you are a dead man now! run? yeah. -(all screaming) (rock music playing) jeremy: peter, what was that? peter: -keep moving! jack: they're still coming! there's loads of them! run! -(panting) should've seen your face, man! they are very angry. (screams) (shouting) finish them! no problem! -(grunts) ralph, ralphus? let's have you up, come on. come on, get up. what are you doing? -let's go back to the wedding, indoors. my glasses! oh! what the hell was that? what road was that? -notts road. oh, shin we're supposed to be at st mary's on notts avenue. that's the wrong church. what idiot denomination would build two churches so close... -don't even answer that. i just wanna find the church and get married. but i don't know where we are. you don't know where you're getting married? well, it's the church her mum goes to. -you were at the rehearsal, you should know. well, the directions are on the... oh, i've lost the ipad. oh, you've lost the ipad. oh, well, it was a wedding present, so technically it was your ipad. -today was a demo about how good it was going to be, jeremy. can this day get any worse? i just wanna find my wife and get married. future wife. shut up. -what? let's go. (music playing on radio) (albert clears throat) yeah? -what happened to, "welcome to figarude, how may i help?" do you want something? yeah, i wanna rent a car. for when? now. -i want a limo or something posh. all of our cars are out, most of them ain't due back till later today. so why did you ask me what i wanted? i never. i asked when you wanted it. -listen, you little fanny, could you stop being smart with me and go get your boss? you wanna speak to the manager? yes, dumbo, thank you. dad! there's a bloke here that wants to speak to you! -dad: who is it? (clears throat) guys, the limo! ah, fuck! -(panting) okay, we need to go before she sees us. go, go, go! how's your, um... fine. -are you still feeling sick? listen, when i got married, i was as nervous as hell. (sighs) mind you, if i'd known the outcome, i might not have bothered. okay, julie, you know what? -you've been saying stuff like that all day. is there something going on with you and steve? (crying) yeah, he's been cheating on me. oh, god, julie, hon, i'm so sorry. -shit! i missed it! can you say that again with the same intensity? oh, god! no! -yeah, she's a 19-year-old gymnast. ugh! fucking asshole! imagine that. someone else that would take that wanker other than me? -why didn't you say anything? i don't know. what is there to say? anyway, at least i've got these to look forward to when i get home. (laughs) we'll talk about it later, okay? -okay. it's your day. are you okay? i love you. i love you, too. -come on. that reminds me, i've invited steele. he should be in there now. but don't worry, he's lovely. -the stripper? not now, honey. showtime! alex, alex! you invited a stripper to my wedding? -how could you do that... (screaming) great, just great. oh, alex, i'm so sorry. i'm wearing stupid blue knickers, one dress is covered in blood and glass and the other one's torn! it's... -someone up there does not want me to get married. so maybe i just shouldn't get married? (panting) we made it. nothing can go wrong now. -i'm getting married and we're in the safest place young men can be, the catholic church. see you up there. come on, alex. you're here. we're all here. -jeremy loves you, and i promise there will be no more mishaps for the rest of the day. oh, come on, it's your wedding day! where the hell have you been? you're 20 minutes late. mum.aunt claire. -dad. i thought i brought you up better than that. yeah, well, we had to make a couple of stops. the giddings are never late. you must get that from your mother's side of the family. -or those hooligans you muck around with. will you two stop rambling? darling, you look great, i'm so proud. thanks. granddad having a good time? -yes, he's loving it. jeremy, you've made an old spinster very proud today. thank you. you still single, aunt claire? yes, but on the prowl. -seen some lovely young men here today. a jamaican friend of mine calls them "stamina daddies". i need me a stamina daddy. (laughs) i don't wear panties any more, so i'm always ready. -can i, uh, borrow the groom for a second? yes, of course. um... forget all of them, that's what i say, i mean, i love alex. -well, i mean, i did till now. but it's always been jeremy and peter, and it always will be. what are you talking about? (sighs) i'm sorry, man, but i don't think alex is going to turn up. -what? i heard her say that she didn't want to get married. i'm sorry. (laughs nervously) just one last joke as a single man. you get up there. -i'll see you in a second. oh, hi. here! where have you been? i'm the maid of honour. -i've been with alex all day, like i should've been. why are you walking like that? i fell on some glass. (chuckles) twelve stitches. i did try to call you from the... -glass? are you stupid? is julie okay? yeah, she's fine. it's, uh... just been one of those days. -you, uh, you look absolutely amazing. awesome. all of you look great. thank you. no problem. -how is he? is he okay? yeah. i've never... never seen him happier. uh, can we start? -i'm late and i have another wedding at 2:00 pm. okay, guys. good thing this is a church, man, i tell you. (sarah laughs) alex: -this is it! (siren wailing in background) i have had a right old time. i have been to every single car rental, every cafe, every pub, every restaurant in this area. honestly, mate. -i'm desperate. customer of mine, outside. he's got a pretty fancy car. what's he look like? you'll know. -cheers! cheers, mate. oh, shit. uh, excuse me, sorry to interrupt, are you the bloke with the fancy car, and if so, could i borrow it? yeah, i'm the g with the fancy vehicle. -okay. no, you can't borrow it. you feel me? okay, i... yeah, i feel you. -could you try and feel me, right? my mate's getting married and there's no car to pick him up. i'm missing the wedding, 'cause it's my fault. you can drive the car and i will... i've got money, i will pay you. -i've got... give me that! i've got, like... that's, like, 250 quid, and you can get more later from the groom. -how much? a lot, he's fucking loaded. where's this car, then? right there. oh, christ! -peter and i were at a bar... i was at this dodgy bar with julie and, um... she turned, raised her glass... lifted my glass up to see if it was clean and... i sauntered over, all 007... -he came stumbling over like a hobo... slipped her the number smoothly... dropped a piece of paper in my lap with his number scribbled on it... and the rest... and then he just shuffled off without getting my name. -...is history. helen: so he asked you to marry him? yes. it's very unempowered of me. but isn't that the real power? -the vagina. a woman, you cynic. jack: what do you love about her? well, what's not to love? -and that's the real truth about love, it's not... some big thing. it's all the small things that make you so much more than when you're alone. anyone can make me laugh, but alex makes me smile. helen: who'd wanna get married anyway? -you should read more romance. (wedding music playing) where's albert? what do we do? walk! -come here, quick! who's he? i don't know. please be seated. ladies and gentlemen, before we start, can i just say how happy i am to see two young people who still believe in the institution of marriage. -and i think we should applaud them. (crowd applauds) where's albert? long story. almost makes me want to do it, man. -i mean, who wouldn't want a girl that beautiful to be in love with you? well, she's definitely better than the girl that was in his bed this morning. (all gasp) jeremy, what the fuck? (all exclaim) -no... (mrs fernandez swearing in spanish) wait till i get my hands on you! you absolute prick! oh! mrs fernandez: -let go of me! (chuckling) gosh! fiery people, these spaniards. alex? -who was in your bed, jeremy? who? look, i know how that sounded and... look, last night was a bit hazy, right? who the fuck was in your bed? -it wasn't... uh, before anything else is said, alex, i just want you to know that there wasn't a woman in jeremy's bed, it was a man. and wait, wait, i know how that sounds. um, what i mean is the boys and i, we just set it up as a, uh... -stag night. ...stag-night prank. please understand, because i would never do anything ever, or let him do anything, to jeopardise what you two have, because you are just the best. (sighs) could this get any more emotional? -thank you, peter. move, man, move! you all right? i wasn't upset 'cause i thought you'd done something, i was upset 'cause i didn't know. -what? i just don't know if i wanna be... one of those angry wives at home. i want you to be with me because you want to be, and if you'd had to be with someone else one last time to figure that out, i just wish you could've told me. alex, -i haven't lied to you. what peter says sounds likely. but for the sake of honesty, have you ever been unfaithful? from the moment i saw you, you have been the only woman in my life. no one's been in my bed, or my mind, because you are in my heart. -the only confession i have to make is that i love you with my entire being. okay? okay. helen: look, i'm not qualified to make this kind of sweet melodrama, but we could keep going and make a fuck tape. -just saying. walking back. all right? yeah. shall we go? -yeah, let's get married. anything to confess? um... i got really drunk at helen's birthday party and snogged some random guy. (gasps) -oh, and, um, that weekend you were away in france, this doesn't really count 'cause we were just mucking around, but i slept with your cousin sarah. (laughs) yeah, go on with you! well? yeah, we're getting married! (all cheering) -go get my money, yeah? all right. (funk music playing) # balabushka, balabushka # start the car! -start the car! shit! start the fucking car! go, go, go. oh, what the fuck are you doing? -jesus christ! shit. stop pushing buttons, stop pushing buttons! stop pushing buttons! what the fuck! -drive! fucking drive! drive. go, go, go. what the fuck? -look out! (all yelling) bloody hell! jesus! what the hell is going on? -one minute you say i'm going to get paid and the next minute your friends wanna kill you! that wasn't them, this is the wrong church. get your arse out of my car now. or i'm gonna drive back round that corner and let them have you. i promise you'll get paid. -give me something now or no deal. what else do you want? oh... maria, what can i say? except that you look absolutely ravishing. -just thought you should know. thank you. keep your mouth shut this time. (all cheering) at last. -right. if anyone knows any reason why these two people should not be married, speak now! he doesn't wanna marry you, fucker! he loves me! me! -it's a lie, it's a lie. i don't know her, i've never... (all yelling) oh, i'm so sorry. (upbeat music playing) (giggling) -to love and to honour until death do us part. i will. i will. i now pronounce you husband and wife. you may kiss the bride. -(all cheering) (car horn trumpeting) baby, i'm so... you remembered the car and it plays a spanish song? why am i not surprised? -shut up. hmm? but you... seriously, do not... (music playing) (people chattering) -how brave are you, getting that car? not many men would have the balls to do that, but that's why i love you. balls, yeah. hmm? shall we do the speech? -i'll do the speech. ladies and gentlemen, can i have your attention, please? (all gasping) it's all right. i can get a set of these at 2.99 from homebase. (peter laughs) -i told you they're hooligans. bear with me, i've not brought my glasses. uh, first, i would like to thank you all for coming. thank you. and especially i'd like to thank the beautiful bridesmaids. -(cheering) yes, yes, for doing a... thank you, thank you... for doing a wonderful job of putting one foot in front of the other, and julie, sarah, helen, you're all beautiful and... -anisha, great legs. (all laughing) and, of course, the wonderful sandra... (cheering) -...who has been outshining everyone today. um, so... -i first met jeremy when we were in college and immediately i thought, "what a well-groomed, "wonderfully articulate, good-looking young man." so i thought i would set him up with a friend of mine. (laughs) imagine my surprise when we found out he wasn't gay. (all laughing) -you boys remember that. but, hey, if the guy says he's not gay, he's not gay. i stand by him, not in front or behind, but shoulder to shoulder. (laughs) yeah, um... we always knew jeremy would be the most successful out of all of us. -he was the first one to get a full-time job, he was the first one to get his own place, which i can tell you, comes in very handy between thursday and sunday, when you need to have a little liaison with one, two, or, at one time, three ladies. (all gasp) anyway, anyway, i've realised that, again, jeremy is the first of us to do something amazing, and that is to settle down, and he has found the beautiful, absolutely stunning alexandra, so i think we should all... -the truth is, i didn't ever really think jeremy could get much better than he is, but you... you have made him a better person. um, and i know that he's going to spend the rest of his life making sure that you come first, in and out of the bedroom. (guys laugh) thank you. (laughing) in all seriousness, um, -jeremy's a man of honour and integrity. but the truth is, when he met you, he became a whole lot better, and, uh, i was really honoured when you asked me to be the best man, because he's the best man i know. and you are... you are the best woman. (voice quavering) um, -i didn't ever really believe, to be honest, that two souls could be meant for each other, but, you know, you two really prove that love is real. and, you know, i don't really know what else i can say after that, except... to the bride and groom. all: to the bride and groom. -sorry, alex. i love you, man. i love you too, man. jack? is it on? -haven't i done enough filming for you? can't i just enjoy the day? it won't be a big festen speech or anything, but i thought i'd give you the heads-up on the big finale. my speech. it better be good. -yeah, it will be. all right, everyone, can i have your attention, please? uh, first of all, thank you all for coming. the whole point of all of this, for me and alex, was to celebrate "us" with all of you. because there's no other way to get this many people you know and love in one place and... shout from the rooftops, -"i love this girl!" (all cheering) now, my good friends jack and helen have been documenting this day, trying to get to the bottom of what all this wedding business is all about. now, i look at these two, sweet, nihilistic lovers, and i think to myself there is nobody better suited. -even though you two are never going to get married. there's something about your dark, twisted souls that are going to need each other forever. and it's this intimate madness that gels you two. and that's what alex and i are celebrating with this. so, for the record, -here's to the madness! all: to the madness. i'll see you in a sec. hi. -hey, julie. how's your, uh... oh, yeah. it's getting better, thanks. oh, good. oh, well, we'll speak later. -hey, sarah. hey, peter. hey, i know you're upset. but just in case your husband hasn't told you, i just wanted to say that you look really beautiful today. -thanks, sarah. what are you doing here anyway? i thought you didn't want to catch the bouquet. yeah, yeah, i don't. i just thought it'd be fun to be part of the chaos that is bouquet-wrestling. (laughs) -why are you here? exactly. are you trying to embarrass me? no. people know you're married to me and you're standing out here waiting to catch the flowers? -(stammers) it's just a bit of fun, steve. go and sit down. i know this is supposed to be at the end, but i couldn't wait. are you ready? all: -yeah! get ready for your john woo moment. (opera music playing) (all exclaiming in disgust) we put this in 3-d, we got a seller. -i don't know if i want to see that in 3-d, mate. you're sick! (crowd cheers) (sobbing) hi. -oh, julie. are you okay? yeah. sorry. yeah, i'll take it from here, babe. -jules, he's a prick, not worth crying over. don't let him control you. take charge. no, it's not just that. it's everything. -my arse hurts. my heart hurts. and i'm completely ruining alex's day. no, you're not! i just want something to take the pain away. -anything. well... if you can avoid the stitches. remember to... (bell tinkles) well... (chuckles) -what are you doing? (bell tinkles) (sighs) oi! please. -from what i've heard, i'd have to piss on you so you could find it. (music playing) did you get a chance to tell jeremy? yeah, yeah, i did. shh. -i'm going to steal my wife. congratulations! love youse. jeremy, i love you, but i need my daughter. come on. -i love you more. love you more! (laughs) ah, so that's it, man. how does it feel? i feel better than i have ever felt about anything. -i can tell, man. and you know what? you've made me think about a few things, too. yeah? yeah. -so thank you. i love you. i love you, too. sorry, i'm not in the mood. (sarah chuckles) -look at anisha. i wish i could take charge like her. how does she do it? i mean, do you think she's happy? yeah, if she's in control, she's happy. -true. come on, dance with me. aw, really? so, um, do you think we should ever tell them about vegas? and lose the high ground? -never. i cheese-sandwich you, monkey. i cheese-sandwich you, flatfoot. (all cheering) i like your clothes. -so brave. yeah, i was sort of going for a, uh, wrestling motif. i'm actually quite a trend-setter. this time next year everyone will be wearing this. we love wrestling. -but it's not really the fashion side that interests me. you love wrestling? so do we. going to show me some of your special holds, then? yeah, i would love to. -uh, i could show you a counter on a figure-four leglock. ooh. yeah. i could hit you with a chair. hey. -you okay? mmm. yeah, i'm fine. it's funny, you know, it takes one hour and a vicar to get married. and a divorce takes months and a whole load of money and lawyers... -ugh, god, this is such a mess. i just feel like such a failure, you know? no, you're not. if there were one decent person here, they'd notice us. two beautiful, sexy, young women sitting here, and they'd come right over, look you dead in the eye, tell you how great you look and say... -would you like to dance? who, me? i saw you sitting here and thought you looked like you could do with a dance. yeah, but why would you think that... oh, sorry, i thought... -well, alex said... look, she is, okay? look, sarah, we know. and we love you and we just want you to be happy. thank you. -we love you, too. a lot. (bell tinkles) (julie moans) (music playing) -oh, mandy! how did you get in here? through the front door. there was a guard. punched him in the throat. -what's going on? are you guys okay? i'm sorry, j, but i tried to stop the wedding like you wanted, but i was late. i think you should leave, love! wait, wait, wait. -see, he needs me. jeremy, what is going on? um, when you think about it, i tried to let you know in my speech. "to the madness." in your speech? -oh, right, yeah, you said... said he still loves me. (gasps) what? what? jeremy! -(sobs) please tell me this is some kind of sick joke! (feigns sobbing) mandy, i owe alex an explanation. so just give me a minute and i'll see you outside. -see? you can't fight against true love. (alex sobs) mandy. okay, um, now what are you going to say to her? -i don't know. okay, what the fuck is going on? why are you going to speak to her? "to the madness." keep up, pete. i love you, alex. -i love you, jeremy. isn't that right, andy? no, that's actually not even close. you know, it's dangerous to go door-to-door. i'm not going door-to-door. -they stopped doing that decades ago. did i hear wrong, honey? it's okay. it's complicated. that's close enough, i guess. -andy, it's so nice to finally meet you. you, too. yeah. i have heard only great things about you. oh, that's nice. -gayle is our new friend. she's our weight watchers leader. her husband's dead. i'm really sorry to hear that. i'm not. -he couldn't drop dead soon enough. he was horrible! she couldn't wait to get rid of him, honey. andy, you have to help me. please convince her to come to my singles event with me. -one night. oh, yeah! come on. don't say that. you gotta do it! -i don't want to go there. i am telling you, you will be the belle of the ball. more like the belle of the "bald." i don't need it. i'm very happy. -got more frogs since thanksgiving, huh, ma? yeah, you can't imagine how many places sell frogs. i hope you're drinking water, andy. mmm-hmm. good. -good boy. because i'm up to six bottles a day now. you know? it's very good for your skin. good. -that's why i'm doing it. i'm so glad you do that, honey. what are you doing right now? i'm refilling my water bottle. 'cause it's silly to pay big prices for a case of bottles, basically, you know, when you can use this over and over again. -so you're really gonna drive cross-country for these meetings? yeah. all the way to vegas, yeah. you seeing anyone? no. -not at the moment. no? i thought you were seeing that girl with the exotic name. bethany? yes! -bethany. what happened to her? yeah, that just didn't really work out. you know... so what about the one before her? -the oriental. that is not remotely an acceptable term anymore, and... i don't know, it just didn't work out. you'd think one of them would have worked out by now, hmm? what about you? -are you seeing anyone at the moment? andy, please don't be disgusting. you want me to go to one of gayle's miserable singles events? that's what you want? you want me whoring myself out? -put on a thong? i'm going to sleep now, ma. oh. yeah. i took out the old home movies and i thought we would watch it together. -you know, i just... i'm not adjusted yet. i'm still jet lagged. i just... oh, i understand. -yeah. good night. good night, honey! i bought some underwear for you at the gap. okay. -we can return it tomorrow if it doesn't fit! that's pretty gross. they know me there! okay. can i turn this thing off? -we've been doing this for two hours. just a few more minutes, okay? look how cute he is. look, ma, i'm sorry... how long do you want me to film this? -you are the best boy. the most perfect boy in the world. do you know that? like mommy tells you every night, if all the little boys in the world were lined up and i could only pick one, i'd pick you every time. -i love you, andy. you're my perfect boy. all right. this will be good for you. a little adventure. -all right. this is ridiculous. come on, mom. just give it a shot. it could be fun. -did you just ask if i hiked? no! i don't hike. sorry. try the skinny one in the corner. -she looks sporty. don't talk to me though, because i'm thinking. you couldn't even try, ma? i mean, you're never going to meet a man like that. dad died when i was eight years old. -you haven't been on one date since then. right? you know what it comes down to? it comes down to mm's in bed. yeah, because when... -those years i was with your father, you know? i would hide them under my pillow until he fell asleep so i could eat them without being criticized. and i will never hide my mm's again. it really makes a lot of sense, when you put it like that. -it does. that's a good reason to give up on men altogether. listen... you know what? because of candy. -you're one to give advice, honey? i mean, why aren't you with someone? you know what it is, ma? what? i just haven't found a girl who'll let me eat mm's in bed at night. -oh, stop it! i mean, seriously, why is that a legitimate excuse for you and not for me? you say the same thing. because i've had my marriage. i've had my family. -i've been to the dance and now i am tired. you are skipping the dance altogether! maybe you need therapy. yeah. it helps me. -i don't need therapy. and since when do you go to therapy? anita and i meet once a week for coffee. well, unless you two are meeting a therapist for coffee, then you're not going to therapy, 'cause anita's a librarian. i'll tell you what we mostly talk about... -yeah? ...is why i blame myself for your deep-seated problems with women. good. you talk to anita about my deep-seated problems with women that you've imagined. yeah. -sometimes i feel like i ruined it for you. you know what? i know. i know you do. you know why? -because you set the bar so high for all other women, that no one lives up to my mom. no, it's not that. it is. i'm going to sleep, ma. okay? -no, i... anita says i should tell you about the boy i fell in love with in florida. the what? it's time you know this about me, andy. know what? -well, there was this incident in my life that i really never told you about. i went to florida on vacation. i was very young, 19, 20, something like that. okay. good. -and i met a boy, and i fell in love with him. yeah. honestly, andy, i fell in love with him kind of instantly. okay. he lived in manhattan, too. -mmm-hmm. and so we came back and we started seeing each other. he didn't want anything serious, but i was just caught up with this... oh, the passion of it all! oh. -andy, we were so passionate. feel free to skim over those details as much as you want. i won't gross you out. yeah. that's cool. -i mean, he didn't want to be serious, really, at the time. but i wanted a family, i wanted a baby. that's all i ever really wanted. and so, eventually, your father came along. what about the guy from... -you met in florida? well, he became boyfriend number one and your dad became boyfriend number two. no, honey... that's nasty! it was a trampy year for mommy. -oh! please. anyway... why are you telling me this? your father proposed within, like, a month, i think. -so i went to the boy and i said, you know, "i met somebody and he wants to marry me, hoping that he would say, "joyce, you cannot do that." "you cannot marry this guy!" but he didn't say that. you know what he actually said? he said, "you're great." -but he told me to marry your father. oh, god. i was so devastated. i was so devastated that i couldn't even see him again. well, what happened? -well... what happened? i married your father, we moved, i got pregnant, and... when we found out it was a boy, you know, -i started going through names, as people do, and... you want your child to remind you of someone you love... loved! and so... i named you andy after the boy from florida. -you want more ice cream? holy shit. andy! please. enough with the language, okay? -did... did dad know about this? now, that is not something that you share with your husband. you know? holy shit! -what is wrong with you? that is enough with the street talk, okay? ma, i... i need you to be honest with me, okay? yes, i will. -is he my father? no, honey. no, he's not your father. no, no. it was two years later when i had you. -his last name is margolis. andy margolis. from jr advertising. isn't it funny how i remember that? yeah. -yeah. jr. hi. i'm trying to track down someone who used to work in your new york office. probably many years ago. -the name is andy, or... andrew margolis? hold on, please. okay, i see that andrew margolis is in our san francisco offices. okay. -great! how long ago did he work there? no, sir. mr. margolis is an executive v.p. in our san francisco office currently. -really? would you like to be connected? okay! andrew margolis's office. seriously? -no shit. is, uh... is andrew in, please? mr. margolis is in europe until next monday. this is becky. -hi, becky. i'm a very old friend of andrew's. we were in nam together? just backpacking though. and i thought it would be great to see him again. -so i guess he finally took the wife on that trip to europe she's always wanted, huh? mr. margolis isn't married, sir. is there a specific message you'd like to leave? no! no. -so he gets back next monday. yes, he does. okay. thank you. you're welcome. -holy shit. i made eggs just the way you like them, and i used turkey bacon, which was on sale, but i know it's still good. i'm always concerned for your health, right? you know, i was up all night last night, because i was thinking about your problems, andy. -jessica was your first serious relationship. so let's start with her. i remember when you broke up, but i can't remember why. do you remember? hmm. -okay! we'll skip jessica for now. uh, what do you think we should do today, honey? oh, you know what? you have to remind me to get tylenol later, 'cause i'm running low. -and i also told gayle that i would pick some up for her. did i remember to call gayle back? i don't know what's happening to me. i'm getting forgetful. you want to come on the trip with me, mom? -huh? my road trip, that i'm going on. i, uh... it's long, and i thought maybe i could use some company in the form of you. you want to drive cross-country in a car with me? -yeah! no, it's... you know, we won't be gone long. it's only eight days in a car together, and then i got to be in san francisco. my last meeting's in san francisco now. -what happened to vegas? i got a new meeting last night in san francisco, so... oh. uh... -yeah! what do you say? if this is you worrying about me, andy, you don't have to because mommy's fine. that's not at all what it is, ma. what? -i've had such a good time hanging out with you these last few days, i thought it would be fun to hang out even more and spend time with you. wait a minute. i want to make sure that i'm hearing this correctly. you want to spend a week in a car with your mother. -is that what i heard? more than anything in the world. don't you think i would drive you crazy? don't you think i might get on your nerves a little bit? no, you know what? -it was just a thought and if you don't want to do it, then fine. i don't want to push you... what? what? am i so awful that you can't spend a little time in a car with me? -jesus christ, ma, how did you turn this around? i just invited you to... i'm inviting you! do you want to drive across the country with me? well, i might have to reroute my mail. -okay! i'd have to miss my book club. ma, you have five seconds to tell me whether you want to go or not. and then i'm revoking my offer, okay? are you coming? -okay. one, two... i can't wait! what, are you kidding me? honey! -that is so exciting! okay, great! good! i am! tateleh! -my boy, my boy! okay... you really are. the sweetest... look at this! -i love you! okay, okay, easy. oh, my god! i can't believe... i have to call gayle! -oh, my god! i'll have to retouch my roots though before i go. what am i gonna pack? you've got to fill me in on all the weather conditions in all the states that we're gonna go through. okay, it's fine. -i got it. it's fine. i got it. are you sure you didn't forget anything? god, i don't know if i forgot something. -i don't think that's possible. i may be getting a hernia. are you okay? yeah. i'll put that here. -good, there's not too many people here. honey, make sure to ask if they have any kind of deal. okay. i will do that. hi, i'm mark. -i'll be assisting you. do you have a reservation? i do. last name is brewster. brewster. -okay. mmm-hmm. there it is. i just need a valid license and credit card. ask him. -okay, i will. please relax. please calm down, mom! sorry, but i just want to confirm i got an suv with a gps system in it? i have you in a dodge durango, gps included, returning in san francisco. -great. do you really need an suv? the gas'll cost more than the car. so that comes out to $112 a day. wait, wait, wait! -i got a coupon. good. yeah. that works. it takes 15% off, so... -it brings your new total to $940. excuse me one second. way to go! yeah. that was very exciting. -i was going to ask. really. yes! i thought you forgot. you thought in the two seconds since you reminded me... -anyway! anyway, nowadays small cars are fine in the snow. they probably have that gps thing. they don't. okay? -only big cars have gps. actually, our gps systems are separate. you can rent them with any car. and our economy cars handle quite well in the snow. hmm. -thank you, mark. you're welcome. so we'll just go by the circus, drop off our clowns... andy, stop it! it's adorable. -you sure you don't mind driving, ma? no, honey. you work on your presentation. i got my book on tape. what are you doing, ma? -trying to find my book on tape. okay. just keep your eyes on the road, for god sakes! oh, here it is. okay, okay! -it's called middlesex. this tape is excellent. it's about a hermaphrodite. you know, a boy and a girl? two different parts in one person? -i... yes, i know that. it was in oprah's book club once. say no more! you'll like this. -i love spoons. you know what? that's enough middlesex for now, i think. that's good. yeah, we're... -so, what's the plan, my little co-captain? well, i got three meetings today, and then i got a few in virginia, and the last one is in roanoke. roanoke! whoo! then texas is next. -costco. that's... that's a big one, so if we want to get there in time, we gotta be in tennessee by tuesday. you know who lives in tennessee, right? yes, i do. -so after that... jessica in nashville. i know. you know, i ran into her mother recently. she says it's lovely there! -i'm sure it is. so... you know, i spoke to anita this morning. anita says that it would be good for you to get some closure with that relationship. so if we have time, we should meet up with her. -from texas, we head to santa fe, where i have one more pitch, then vegas. mmm! a mom and her baby boy in vegas. sounds like fun! that's their new slogan, i think, for tourism. -"a mom and her baby boy in vegas." yeah. mmm. you know, i can't stop thinking about... what, honey? about that story you told me the other night, honestly. -about andy margolis. i mean, tell me more about him. what was it... what was it about him that you liked so much? i don't know. -broad shoulders, you know. oops! sorry. okay, what else? anything less physically based? -i was cross-eyed when i was a little girl. i told you that, right? what does this have to do with what i asked you? well, one day i meet this boy, out of nowhere. andy margolis. -we went out on this first date. we were dancing, and he told me that i was beautiful. he was the first person to ever tell me that. don't you ever wonder, like, where he is, what happened to him? a little bit? -it's in the past, andy. it's in the past. i could probably find him if you really wanted. don't you dare! he's probably fat and obnoxious by now. -maybe he's just fat. what are you doing? no, no! don't move their stuff around! what are you doing? -just put it on the floor. no, i don't put things on the floor. the floor is dirty. the floor is too dirty for your purse? you've been using that tissue in there for the last three days. -well, there's always a clean side. but it's true. you keep shoving it back in there. i know, but i don't do things like that. and anyway i forgot, i got my gizmo. -purse hook. of course. whoa! what are you... what? -you did something to me. what is that? just pick it up. push it back. no. -it's fine. show your face. ma, my hair looks fine. okay, okay. is it weird? -no, it's nice now. did you make it look weirder? thank you. honey, i know you're nervous, but your show is gonna be great. it's a pitch. -it's a... it's called a pitch, mom. whatever it's called. it's going to be great, i can feel it. i'm glad. -okay. you focus. i'm trying. and while you're focusing, i'm going to play my game. -till they call you. all right! what? i'm playing slots, what? yeah, it's incredibly loud! -mr. brewster? yes, hi there! hi there! they're ready for you. oh, fantastic! -great, good. no. what are you doing? going with you? no. -you can't come. why not? i can't bring my mother in! it'll look crazy. they don't know i'm your mother. -that's even weirder. then who are you? do you need a minute? no, i'm good! thank you. -i'm okay. great. what are you... he's ready. please... -thank you! hi! thank you very much! thank you. great! -good luck, sweetheart! thank you, ma'am! nice to meet you! scieoclean is the only product that harnesses the sustainable, renewable cleaning power of these three products. now, this is a top-of-the-line digital ph meter. -this is our competitor's product. okay. well, thank you for your time, andrew. that's it? i have fda approval, and... -i just don't think it's for us. but i want you to leave a card. we'll be in touch. honey! how did it go? -i don't want to jinx it, but i think it went pretty good, actually. really? good job, sweetheart. yeah. this is gonna be good. -this is gonna be really good. i can't wait to see what happens, right? look! the world's largest praying hands are in tulsa! the world's largest rubik's cube is in tennessee! -the grand canyon! i've always wanted to see the grand canyon! no time, ma. tight schedule. maybe next time. -thank you. hey. oh! good? did it go good? -yeah, it seemed to go really good. you have a nice smile on your face. here, take a little water. andy, i think you're going the wrong way. we are not going the wrong way! -well, that must feel good. why are you calling me, ma? just go to the bathroom and come back! what are you doing in there? no, i don't want french fries! -just come back! andy. yeah. promise me you'll never pick up a hitchhiker, okay? i promise i will never pick up a hitchhiker. -good. they rape. you think they have a gap outlet here? a gap outlet? i'm having gap withdrawal! -oh, good. thank you. sure thing. ooh! look at this. -wow. evening. thank you. andy, look, they have a gift shop! oh, great. -you go over there. hi, uh... do you have any rooms available for the night? well, of course! a room for you and your lady? -my "lady"? andy, look, look! they have clip-on frog earrings! oh! no! -dude, that's... don't wink at me! that's horrible! that's my mother! are you insane? -i need two rooms, okay? andy, don't be ridiculous. is that what you said? two rooms? it's not ridiculous. -it's very necessary. it's a waste of money! not wasting money. two separate rooms. sorry. -don't be sorry! just don't imply that i am sleeping with my mother. i am ready to go to market and i have full fda approval! ooh! that sounds very impressive, andy! -oh! fda approval! oh, that is fancy. very fancy. thank you, ma. -good. i do have a few thoughts. great. it's just a little hard to follow. i'm still a little unclear, with all the coconuts... -what was that thing? "dermal"? for the skin? yeah. dermal. skin. -yeah, i'm saying like... i'm saying it's safe if you get it on your skin or in your eyes or if you ingest it by accident, you know? well, why don't you just say that? i mean, keep it simple. make it clear. -i would get personal with them, too. like, you talk about their kids, talk about their pets. possibly seeing one of their loved ones writhing in agony on the floor because they just accidentally swallowed some of these other brands, you know? that's good. you know what i should do is actually bring in a kid and poison it in front of them. -and then they could actually just see what that would be like. now you're being silly. i'm just saying, if it's safe to put on your skin, then put it on your skin. if it's safe to drink it... -yeah. ...drink it. real good thinking, yeah. you probably need to flavor it. yeah. -yeah. cherry flavor, maybe, or root beer. it's a cleaning product, ma, so root beer might be kind of a weird... no, no! oh, mint! -mint. i'm just saying, if you drank it, it would make it certainly more entertaining. you know? make it more of a show. well, i'm a scientist, ma, i'm not a performer. -so, it's not really my priority to make it a show. i'm not a showman, ma. that is nonsense, honey. yeah. remember how good you were in man of la mancha? -people like a performance. you're right. no, you're right. that's a great idea. i should just do man of la mancha maybe. -i... you know what? i'll tell you what i would do. what would you do? i would change the name, too. -because, look at this, this is very confusing. what is it? psychoclean? no. skyoclean? -science clean. no. it's scieoclean, and it's kind of hard to change the name because it's written on 10,000 bottles that i've already paid for. so... well, it's just peculiar, is all. -okay, i'll change the name. okay? great. okay. good. -oh, andy, i'm having such a great time! that's good, ma. because i never get to go to nice places like this. mmm, it's true. this place has a quarter of a star, so that's pretty good. -do you know that they have a free continental breakfast here? i'm glad you're having such a cultured trip with me, ma. i'm in absolute heaven. good. well, you know what? -i'm pretty tired. maybe it's time we go to sleep. oh, i should let you sleep. thank you. i am so sorry. -no problem. thank you. and we don't want to miss that breakfast, do we? no. of course. -good night. okay, okay. shh! are you chewing on marbles over there? what is that sound, ma? -what are you doing? what am i doing? i don't know what... it's really loud! i'm sorry. -is that tin foil you're playing with?

-it's not that, is it? what? excuse me? what? your problems with women. -do you think any of it is sexual? i actually almost threw up all over the table when you asked me that. stop saying that. i almost projectile vomited -all over the bar. oh, please. you know, come to think of it, when you were a baby, about two months old, your penis started turning purple. i swear. please stop. -if i didn't inspect that penis carefully every day, till you were five. i'm begging you to stop talking right now. you'd tell me if your penis started turning purple again, right? my penis could literally grow an eyeball and i wouldn't tell you about it. i just worry about you. -the color of my penis... it's not purple. it's pink. hi! thank you. -thank you, sweetheart. the roads are pretty awful. could take the tow truck quite a while. our girl moonlight's pretty good with cars. you want me to ask her to take a look? -who's moonlight? oh, my gosh, this is the cutest little thing. that's very nice of you, moonlight. i just wish you were wearing something warmer. oh, that's sweet of you, but i'm fine. -put your hood up, honey. no. i don't want to. oh. here it is. -you got ice frozen up around the tire. it's blocking the wheel and making it feel like you got a flat. my god! you sure about that?

uh, well, pregnant, mrs. b. -yeah, i'm due again in april. i feel like a house. oh, no. well, you look fantastic! yeah. -you look very pretty, still. oh, well, thank you. i... i appreciate the lie. no, not a lie at all. -honestly, i don't know how i keep getting pregnant. i got a theory. it's called two margaritas and love actually. every time, right? very nice house! -yeah. very lovely color. good paint job. new paint job, new fixtures. it's very beautifully done. -it's quite a setup you have here. well, thanks. yeah, we like it. i think it took a while for my jersey girl here to get adjusted, but i think she digs it. yeah, i do. -so, wait... so, andy, you and jessica were high school sweethearts? yeah, we dated for a while in high school. yeah. it was great. -it was a really fun time. oh, wow. hey, you know, she talks about you all the time. oh! really? -that's funny, because we've been talking about jessica a lot. i don't know if we talk about her a lot. have we? i mean, a normal amount. she came up several times in conversation. -very casually. you see, jessica, andy is still single, and we were wondering whether your break-up had anything to do with it. what do you think? no, yeah, don't be ridiculous. -i mean, we were just kids. you broke up with me when we were, what, like, 17? eighteen. eighteen. mmm-hmm. -wait a minute. you broke up with her? well, technically, i guess. god! remember how crazy you were? -i was young and kind of... you know, i felt a lot. big feelings. mrs. b, did you know that andy proposed to me right before we went to college? it was like a serious get-on-your-knee kind of proposal right in the middle of the football field. -it was silly. it was a silly thing to do. i said we were too young, obviously, and he ended it, just like that! mmm-hmm. yeah! -andy, can you imagine if i'd said yes? no. hmm. you proposed to her. andy, that's so... -i wish i knew that. well, you do now. i was just trying to help. you always are. maybe it was healthy to see her. -maybe it'll help you get on with your life. or maybe, just once, you could have, one time, just minded your own business, ma. maybe that could have happened. look, i have costco today, okay? i would appreciate it very much if we could just drive in silence until we get to texas. -i would... i would appreciate that very much. they're gonna come get me in a second, so just wait here until i'm back and don't talk to anyone. can i just say one thing? no. -you can't. andy, i don't think they're coming to get you. why would they not be coming down to get me? because i'm noticing how it's done here. it's like a different thing. -you know? they come to your table or something. the people with the red, they see things on the table. you bring your product or something. i... -shit! go away. just leave. where am i gonna meet you? andrew? -hi! hi there! a pleasure to finally meet you, andrew. ryan mcfee. yeah. -great. costco. this is joyce. joyce -ton, my... joyce joyston. -my business partner. ah! yes! i'm his business partner. then you should have a seat. -fantastic! yeah! of course. have a seat. "business partner, sit!" -yes. why wouldn't you? so, i would just like to start by saying how honored i am that costco wholesale would meet with me. i know the backing of costco could really make a product into something big. well, i'm looking forward to hearing your pitch. -thank you. now, some history on my product. i'm sorry. no problem! what is that? -my purse hook. what does it do? it just keeps the pocketbook from touching the dirty floor. ah! that is great! -yeah, it's really neat. where'd you get that, the purse hook? uh, amazon, i think. hmm. go. -no, i am not going. it's rude. go. no, it would look bad. get out of here! -it's very rude. extremely rude. will you just go? stop that. sorry. -please, continue. i created a micro-emulsion suspension, ryan, that harnesses the natural cleaning and foaming power of coconut oil, palm kernel oil... oxygen. ...and soy! -or as i like to call it, scieoclean! scieoclean! sounds good. oh, oh! -scieoclean. yes. it took me a second. sorry. it read at first like skyoclean. -or psychoclean. that's an unusual response. don't get hung up on the name, ryan. i mean, because andrew was thinking of changing it. oh, that's a good idea. -is he? ah. joyce is right. it's unclear. uh-huh. -i agree. yeah. i wasn't really considering it. i don't know what... we talked about changing it. -no, we didn't. in the hotel. i don't remember that. you said that the other night at the hotel. i did? -don't you remember, honey? don't call me "honey." mr. brewster. maybe if you simply relabeled the bottle "science clean." that's a good idea. -i don't actually have any money to relabel any bottles. wait a minute. how much would it cost to relabel the bottles? bulk? a fraction of a cent. -half a cent! and you're going to sell bulk. what's the big deal? well, the aggregate amount... so, listen, andrew, when you relabel the bottle... -"when" is a little preemptive. i don't know if i would jump to the "when" conclusion. listen to what he's saying. when you do, i would change the whole color scheme. -i agree. it should be more, like, magenta. what's gonna pop? you know? i would strongly consider relabeling that bottle. -i know, but i put a lot of thought into this... listen to what the man is saying. you're going to have to relabel the bottle. i'm not changing the goddamn label, ryan! okay. -i know. i shouldn't have said anything. yep. there are many other stores besides costco. yep. -think of all the other sales you already made. ah! well, the good news is, i have got enough hair product to last me for years. if you're going to drink all that alcohol, you should really hydrate. -i don't want to say it again, so... so, i'll just leave the water bottle here. i only say that because i read that for every glass of alcohol that you drink, you need an extra glass of water... ma. -ma! can you not see that i don't want to talk right now? are you... are you blind? how idiotic can you be? -can you not tell that i don't want any water? enough with the nagging and the water! just shut up! just shut up! i don't know what to say. -finally. "finally", you said? you little shit. mmm! you condescending, self-absorbed little shit. -i can't do anything right by you, can i, andy? everything i say is wrong, everything i do is wrong. go ahead. why don't you keep insulting me? 'cause you haven't made it quite clear just how much you can't stand being with me! -what do you think, i'm stupid? you think i'm stupid? no. you think i don't know that you went to school in california so that you'd only have to see me once a year? why, andy? -why? what did i do wrong? what did i do? did i care for you too much? did i love you too much? -what did i do? okay, ma. it's not okay! this is the way you talk to me? like i'm some thing that has to be tolerated? -well, let me tell you something, kiddo. you don't have to like me, or spend time with me. but as long as i'm your mother, you will treat me with respect. now drink your fucking water before you drop dead from dehydration! i was telling you this story that was about macy's and... -you heard of macy's? yes, ma'am. i was sitting in the car, you see, and i was trying to jam the key in the ignition, but it wouldn't turn on. and you know why it wouldn't turn on? because i was sitting in the wrong car! -isn't that funny? it was very funny at the time. hey, ma. oh, my god! look at who's here. -the big, bad son! andy! hey, son. what, did you come to get me? we should probably head back to the room, for a minute. -i don't think so. no? i'm having fun here, andy! i'm being fun! and i'm meeting men! -andy! isn't that what you wanted? that's not really what i meant, mom. everybody, say hello to my little boy who lives in california, far away from his mommy. the opposite side of the world. -ma, you're drunk right now. please! you've had too much to drink. i am not drunk. i'm not drunk! -he's far, far away. but that's okay! it's okay. jimmy? you know it's okay because he calls me on my birthday and sometimes he comes home for thanksgiving. -i need another one of these drinky-poos! okay? coming up. jimmy, i think she's actually had enough to drink, thank you very much. no, i haven't! -don't listen to him, jimmy! i want another drink, and i need more cheesy fries. seriously, i think she's had enough to drink. sorry, boss. the lady wants a drink, she's getting a drink. -the thing is, the lady doesn't actually need a drink. i paid for it, she's drinking it. look, you are crazy if you think i'm gonna let you give that drink to my mom. you should just get out of my way now. -wait... actually, i'm really tired. i think we should be going. we gotta be going. no, no, no, no, no. -thank you so much. joyce... no... hey! hey! -oh, my god! no, no, jimmy... quite a night. do you remember what i used to say when people asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up? i didn't say baseball player. -a lot of my friends wanted to be power rangers. that was a very popular profession. i was the weirdest kid in the world, because i said organic chemist every time! i mean, that's the only thing i ever wanted to be. do you remember that? -yes, i do. always doing these strange experiments in the basement, wearing these goggles. i remember them. four times too big for your head. dude, those things saved my eyes many times. -i went to ucla because they have the best organic chemistry program in the country. that's the only reason. you hungry? always. okay. -all right. let's see. i'll have an appetizer... thank you. you're welcome. -thanks. i like those hats. i'm sorry about last night, ma, what i said. i shouldn't have said that. i said some things, too. -yeah, you did. i haven't made one sale, ma. i, uh... i've spent the last five years developing a product that's really good, and that i can't sell, at all, to anybody. all my money, all my time, all the money dad left me, -i have none of that anymore. and, honestly, i have no idea what i'm going to do from now on, so... i thought you should know that. why didn't you say anything? i don't know. -you know, you always say, "who could say no to you?" i didn't want to... i didn't want to have to read you the list. i could give you advice. i'm sure you could. -but i'm not going to. 'cause you're a grown-up, andy, and i want you to be your own man. so you can... when did you call anita? before i went to the bar last night. -okay. andy, don't give up, okay? i mean, we still have three more meetings, right?

-how much is it if you don't finish? a hundred bucks. a hundred bucks? whoa, ma, are you kidding me right now? you're broke, honey. -don't turn free down. and you know how i can eat! yeah, that's four and a half pounds of meat, mom. that's a lot of meat! i mean, that's like eating a poodle. -you know? you actually think you can do that? i don't just think it, honey. i know it. it's just if i want to do it, that's it. -well, you want to do it, hon? yeah. i'm gonna do it. but i want the salad dressing on the side. it's a weight watchers thing. -ladies and gentlemen! if you would direct your attention to the stage, you will find miss joyce brewster. hi. now, joyce is from new jersey. hey, now... -oh, that's not nice. that's not nice! joyce is from new jersey, but she's going to eat like a texan tonight! now, in the next hour, joyce will have to consume a tossed salad, with dressing on the side... healthy. -one of our dinner rolls. yum! a shrimp cocktail! love them. a baked potato! -as well as this here. wow! that is big! holy shit! and it all has to get down and stay down in under an hour. -everybody, let's give joyce a great big hand! and let's go! okay. i have to put my napkin down. come on, joyce! -don't get all dainty, joyce. just dig in. like a buzz saw. okay. all right, thank you. -okay. whoa, this is thick. just eat it. my first bite! this could be a lot of bites. -i'm so hot. okay, everybody! joyce has got 25 minutes to go now! watch the clock! excuse me. -sorry. i'm sorry. it's okay. i've seen all sorts of people get after that steak, but never one like that. that's, uh, my mom. -that's your mom?

go for it. yeah. okay. -howdy, ma'am. your son, andrew, said i should come over and give you a hand. see, the key is the size of the pieces you cut off, you gotta keep them small. mmm-hmm. -one other thing. what? what is it? it's called the cycle. you got to learn the cycle, which is two small pieces, potato, salad, then you have two small pieces of steak, -potato, salad. about that size? yeah. that's perfect, actually. you'll get that down a lot faster. -okay. so two of those... two of those. there you go. i wish i could offer you some but i can't. -no, you got to eat this all yourself. and then that. yeah. that's perfect. is that good?

yeah! -for sure. yeah. thanks. i hope this isn't being too forward, but when i see a woman eat like that, well, it just makes a man want to stick his neck out. i do business in new york. -i was hoping maybe i could take you out to dinner one night. hmm. i do know some restaurants where you don't have to eat on a stage. that's funny. the thing about dating... -it is a date, right? it's just so uncomfortable, talking and eating with someone you don't know. some would argue that that's actually how you get to know someone. yeah, that's... you could argue that. -i don't know what to say. it's just been a long time. well, i tell you what. when you're ready, give me a call. i will think about it, ben. -joyce. drive carefully! i will. you take care now. bye, mr. graw! -nice to meet you. it's ben. ben. see you, andrew. bye, ben! -how scandalous! mother! don't you say... what a scandal! stop it. -come on. don't do that.

"well, i happen to know a few places you don't have to eat on a stage." -i'm gonna take this dessert... i'm not gonna share it with you now... "i'm ben graw." you're being obnoxious! "my name's ben graw." -come on. drive. "this here's... your train's getting robbed! i'm ben graw." -did you notice how handsome he was? "i'm very handsome. i'm ben graw. " did you notice his teeth? "my teeth are perfect." -stop it! "i have a very close shave." i am going to kill you. what? that's exactly what he was like! -stop it! stop it! are you hungry yet? am i hungry yet? are you kidding me? -well, you just had a little hamburger. oh, wait! look, look, look! whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. number 10. -i know. it's very exciting. cool! number 10 already! isn't that going to be great? -yeah. how many more cds do we have? i think 12. twelve? we're not even halfway through? -these are good. they don't have too many chemicals. what is that? why do you want to feed me all the time? you know what it is, honey?

-ten minutes? ten minutes! yeah. right? seems disrespectful to look at it for any less than 10 minutes, i guess. -but who'll know? that's a good point. you want to go? yeah, let's go. let's go to vegas. -we should tell our friends we looked at it for longer. all right! you show 'em! whoo! oh, i wouldn't have believed this! -it's crazy, ma. look at all these... i can't get over the amount of light bulbs. can you imagine what it costs to run this place? no one flips them off when they leave the room. -it must drive you crazy. i can't wait to see the slot machines. look, mm's! andy! there you go! -imagine how loud you could chew those! i just have a good feeling about tomorrow. i think things are gonna go really well. well, it'd better. that's our hotel right there. -that's where we're going? look at the fountain! very elegant. i just feel a little weird valet parking mr. bean's car. nice, huh? -whoa! exciting! i know! isn't it? oh, my god, we're here! -we're here! look how beautiful! thank you very much. appreciate that. perfect. -oh, my god! look at their statues! is that the statue of david? yes, that's the actual david. they flew it here. -no, they didn't! hi! i'm andrew brewster. hello. i'm presenting to home shopping network tomorrow. -oh, great. welcome, mr. brewster. i just need your credit carol, please. right there. thank you. -i see you're on their corporate rates. oh, great! here is your credit card. thank you. perfect. -how are you doing on this thing?

because this is a winner. -ma, there's lots of machines on the aisles. oh, look at this, i got a seat! the guy left. that's great. i'm so excited! -ma, come on, let's just go, okay? no. no, no, honey. you go up, drop the bags, shower, do whatever you want. i'm going to play here, okay? -are the drinks free here? yeah, the drinks are free. they're free? yeah. so, would you please flag me down a waitress if you see one? -okay. yeah, okay. okay. okay. great. -what does that mean? do you know? you won about 10 cents. ten cents? that's it? -i got three navel oranges. it's still going up! who do i call? who do i tell? oh, i know. -i got a good feeling about this. where are the drinks? good luck with that. really?

oh, wow. -yeah, look at that! all right. i was up $60 and i decided to call it quits. and so then i passed a jewelry store and i got my ears pierced! okay! -and it didn't even hurt. well, if you're happy about that, then good for you. i'm happy about that. i am so happy, andy! good. -i could just stay here forever. well, eventually you might run out of things to pierce and your frog machine might short-circuit. i don't know what you'd do after that. i know. i just got carried away. -yeah. so, i was thinking... yeah. ...that maybe you should go to san francisco alone, and then i could spend the rest of the weekend here. uh, i don't think that's the best idea. -why not? you know, we've been having fun. we should keep it going. i've only been punched in one side of my face. i'm letting you off the hook, you know. -you drove all the way to las vegas with your mother. i have enough bragging material to last the rest of my life, honey. ma. i don't actually have a meeting in san francisco. i tracked down andy. -margolis. he's the meeting in san francisco. he had the same job. he works for the same company! he got transferred to the west coast. -and i got his information. i got his number and his email and his address. and he's not married. so i figured why not? when? -when what? when did you track him down? right after you told me he existed. i tracked him down. it was really easy. -so that's why you wanted me to come with you. so i could see andy margolis. ma, of course not! i think that i wanted to meet him, too, you know. oh, god. -i was so stupid! why is that... why are you stupid? oh, my god. i actually thought that you wanted to spend time with me. -i do want to spend time with you, ma. that's why i invited you. it's okay. i'm not mad. i mean, most kids wouldn't even care enough. -i just, uh... i thought it was something else, that's all. ma, let's just talk about it for one minute, okay? you don't have to go. no, no. -it's okay. you better get ready for your meeting, honey. come on, ma! that's not what this is... andrew brewster for skyoclan? -scieoclean. okay, mr. brewster, you get five minutes to explain the product and demonstrate. our hostess, amy, will introduce you and you can interact with her however you want. any questions? yeah, i didn't realize this was a whole thing. -i didn't realize it was on camera. you're gonna be great. go for it. hello. hi. -andrew, hello! hi, yes, i'm andrew. nice to meet you. i'm amy. nice to see you. -hi, amy. hi. so... oh, gee. no, thank you. -i'm okay. thank you. so we're gonna look right out to the front here. wow! this is the real set. -yes, we're on the set now. roll cameras! ooh! it's hot in here. it is warm. -it's very bright. i... action! welcome back to hsn. i'm here with andrew brewster, creator of an exciting new organic cleaning supply. -tell us a little bit about scieoclean, andrew. it's actually scieo-clean. that's exactly what i said. it is. uh... -scieoclean, as i call it, is an exciting new cleaning product that harnesses the natural foaming and cleaning power of three completely renewable resources. interesting. they are... here they come, out of your special secret box. ...coconut oil... -a coconut! that's a coconut. let's see. that's hard. that's a hard nut to crack, isn't it? -as i previously stated, a neutral ph reading is somewhere between six and eight. now, if you recall, scieoclean came in at seven, which was perfect. now, my competitor's ph reading is nine point... can you see it? is it in the... -i don't know if you're zooming in on... but it says nine point six, which is high, and it, uh... i lost you guys. uh... i totally lost you guys. -that lady's sending an email. i've completely lost you, and i think i know why i lost you guys. it's 'cause this sucks! and it's boring. and it's full of a bunch of science-y stuff that no one really cares about. -so, why don't i try this? just tell me about yourself, amy. do you have kids? you have any pets or anything like that? yes, i do. -i have a dog and a little girl. okay. what are their names? mr. pickles and gabriella. oh, that's funny. -if i have a daughter, i'm gonna name her mr. pickles as well. sorry. so let me ask you, you probably go through great pains to prevent mr. pickles and gabriella from dying, if i'm not mistaken. well, yes, i would. -is this what you normally clean your house with? it's whatever's on sale. it's usually blue or yellow. that would be correct, yes. well, here's the problem with that. -it's extremely poisonous. and it's really dangerous. i can show you statistics and experiments that prove that my product doesn't only clean better than those, but it's safer. but if i've shown you one thing, it's that that is really boring. so instead, i'll just do this. -i'll step back for the experiment. oh, my god. wow. i'm impressed. i am. -scieoclean is the best cleaning product that's ever been invented. it's completely natural, it's completely safe, and it cleans better than any product on the market. if any of my competitors are making the same claim, all i say is, come on tv and drink your product. but i don't think you will because no one wants to shit blood on tv. that's it. -that's all i got. scieoclean. it's safe, it's non-toxic, and you can drink it. and cut! -uh, mr. brewster? yeah. well, we are intrigued! you're... you're intrigued? -absolutely! that presentation was wonderful. you actually drank that stuff? i did drink it! yeah! -it's made out of food. it was a great pitch. thank you so much! if you want to hear more... i said it was boring, but the stuff about the micro-emulsion is actually pretty amazing. -does it actually clean? yes, it cleans great. okay, we're gonna wanna see that at some point. oh, yeah, anytime. i can demonstrate that anytime. -and it has full fda approval? i have full fda... how many units do you have ready for market? thousands of units. i have way more than i should, probably. -well, we're gonna have to run it up the ladder, obviously, but i have a really good feeling about this. thank you so much. oh, thank you! thanks. wow. -great presentation. well, i'm glad you think so. you have my info. absolutely. we'll be in touch. -great job. thanks for sticking with me. just don't say anything. just turn around. just keep walking. -i'm not saying anything. just turn around. people love a performance. stay calm. i know, i know. -this was better than man of la mancha! so how bad did it taste? it was horrible! it was so gross! well, you acted great. -oh, thank you. it needed the mint. it does. what about the guy? what did he say to you? -he said it was a great pitch. he said he's going to move it up the ladder. no! yes! he used the ladder word? -he used the word "ladder"! i know! you're going to be famous! i might be, i don't know! do you still want to go to san francisco? -seriously? yeah. we're practically there. you're curious, i'm curious, so, what the hell? yeah, if... -are you... are you sure you want to? yeah. okay. great. -okay. okay. so, honey, what if you take an eye dropper and you drop it in your eyes? oh, you're right! you know what? -it's actually not a bad idea. i should do it. you could also put it in your nose. right. so what was your plan? -um, well, i thought you'd call him and you'd say, "hey, remember me?" and then you guys would go have some tea, and then you would marry each other. well, then you don't have to pay for my old age home. exactly. -that's the real plan. very, very good thinking. here. here. his number's on top there. -what? call him. put it on speakerphone. put it on speakerphone. oh, no, honey... -i want to hear. yeah. okay. this is the moment of truth. okay. -i hope he's home. i hope he's not home. i hope he's home. this is very tense for me. how'd you get this number? -well, there's this internet now. oh! oh, right. it has tons of information. okay, i'm going to press... -"call." just hit "call." you sure that this is his number? that is the number. i can't take the pressure. hello? -this is it. talk. hello? andy? speaking. -hello? keep talking. i can't. what was that? i can't! -it was him! i know! i heard! it was him, andy! why did you do that? -i got scared! ma, you gotta call him back! come on! i couldn't talk. don't wimp out like that. -this is his address, right? yes! okay, so what i think we should do, since we're gonna do this, we should just surprise him. that's what i think we should do. okay. -fine. okay? yeah. no, that's a good idea. you know i have to stop and change, right? -i do. i know that, yes. you told me. i have to... yeah. -you are really getting dolled up over there, ma. honey, the man hasn't seen me since i was 21. i don't want to scare him. well, then don't do that. i'm not going to do that in front of him. -nice neighborhood. very nice. oh, my god. mmm! this is it, ma. -this is the house. really? you sure? yeah, sure. positive, yeah. -how do i look? do i look okay? you look very nice, actually. really? yeah. -you do. you look good. good. so i don't have to worry about that. -no, you did it. okay. i just hope we have the right address. i, uh... i'm positive we do. -i looked it up. i don't know. you can't trust those gps things. no, i looked it up. all right. -okay. i can't! just do it. come on. okay. -okay, i'm going to do it. ready, set, go. it's old-timey. i like that. that was good. -maybe he's not home. just push it again. come on. coming! he's home! -he's coming. he sounded very masculine. oh, my god. hello. hello. -we're looking for andrew margolis. oh, not interested. thank you. no, we're not selling anything. we're just trying to find andrew margolis. -this is his house, right? this is his house. i'm him. what can i do for you? you're... -you're andrew margolis from jr advertising? yes, i am andrew margolis from jr advertising and this is getting weird. what is this about? you're his son. right? -your father's name is also andrew? yes. and he also works at jr? well, he owned it. i'm sorry, i'm confused. -no, no, i'm sorry. it's 'cause this is confusing. my mother's an old friend of your father's. i thought you... it doesn't make a difference. -could you just help us get in touch with your father please? well, i'm sorry. my dad died five years ago. oh. mmm! -yeah. look, would... do you want to come in? or something? do you want to... -i would like to sit down. yeah, please, come in. thank you. absolutely. please. -thank you. you're driving to job interviews? pitching the product. all over the country. all over, yeah. -your father was very important to my mother. he was a good man. um... how long were your parents married? twenty-six years. -wow. yeah. my mom's in florida now. we should probably get going. you just got back from a trip, so... -nice to meet you. you, too. i don't know if my son mentioned this, but i dated your father for a while. before he met your mother. really? -yeah. and, um. i just wondered, did he ever talk about that part of his life? ma... -no, no, no, it's okay. um... no, i'm sorry, i didn't know. my dad never talked about anybody but my mom, at least not to us. right. -of course not. he was a very, very nice man. very, very nice to me. and i'm really sorry for your loss. thank you. -hi, i'm here! you have enough mail here to choke a horse! hi. oh, sorry. i didn't realize you had company. -no, no, that's okay. these are old friends of dad's. this is my sister. hi. i'm andy. -hi. joyce. nice to meet you. yes. hi. -welcome back. thank you. do you still want to get dinner? i do. it might be a few minutes. -okay. i didn't mean to interrupt. no, no, no. not at all. they're on a road trip. -honey. just one second, okay? remember to drink your water. okay. i will. -six bottles a day. because it's good for my skin and my kidneys? that's right! okay. so, you checked the car thoroughly? -i checked the car. i checked every inch of the car. and the front and the back? there is no way we left anything in the car, okay? yeah. -yeah. i think, uh... i think i'm... yeah, i'm that way. and i'm this way. -right? okay. well, you sure you can find the gate on your own? can i find the gate on my own? honey, i pierced my ears and ate half a cow. -i think i can find the gate on my own. yeah. you know, this, uh... this week really didn't go how i planned. oh, sweetheart, it went better. -it went... you know, i spent almost 30 years of my life thinking i didn't matter to someone who mattered a great deal to me. i got the answer i needed. i did. it's like anita always says. -oh, god. when it's meant to be, it's meant to be. that's actually good advice. i think i should give you her number. okay. -the point is that i wasn't meant to be with andy margolis. you see? i was meant to meet him, but i was meant to marry your father. because if i hadn't, -i wouldn't have had you. don't you see, andy? it was always you. you're the love of my life, baby. it will always be you. -i got to go before i start crying. just remember one thing. if all the boys in the world were lined up and i could only pick one... i wouldn't have let you pick anyone else, ma. yeah, you would have. -you would have let mrs. shapiro pick you. no, i would not. you loved her cookies. they were really good cookies. i miss you already. -you know, this was the best week of my life. i love you, mom. okay. bye. okay. -you've got to be kidding me. this is a new record. hi. ben? it's joyce. -yeah, the big eater. okay. mom, you want to try some? sure. you see, mom? -it's right over there. hello, mom. i think we should think about taking another trip, in europe. how about that? you want to go to europe? -what do you think about that? i don't think that's a very good idea. i am so fascinated with the book on tape, i want to finish it, i sit in the garage. well, i hope you turn the car off, 'cause you're gonna die if you don't. -i know. i know. i gotta remember that. that would be good. since i was your mother and your father, and i had to tell you about sex. -yes. did that help you in your life? well, you can't undo the fact that you told me about penetrative sex at a young age. but i guess... i don't know. -just don't do that in the future. well, i'll give you my number. okay. and you give us a call when you're in town. yeah, you guys should probably keep in touch. -all right. like, as a rule? they just rape all the time? no, not all the time. sometimes. -but you never know. they may not rape you, but... they'll rape someone. they're gonna rape someone. they might rape both of us. -oh, no! i carry the books on tape in a walkman. in a what? a walkman. in a walkman? -do you have to get in a time machine before you use that? you should call cousin lowell. i should call cousin lowell? have i ever met cousin lowell? it doesn't matter. -he has t.b. it would be very nice to hear from you. he has tuberculosis? it's around now. do people still get that? -oh, yes. absolutely. i thought they stopped getting that, like, in cowboy times? didn't you hear that story... no. -didn't you hear that story about the guy on the plane? he had tuberculosis? and he infected the people. was lowell on that plane? i think so. -exit in 1,000 feet. come on! exit! a thousand feet! just exit! -how far is 1,000 feet? you got to merge, ma! that way! into what, honey?

"boring chemistry alert!" right? wrong! one day, i had a breakthrough. -i created a micro-emulsion suspension that harnessed the natural cleaning power of coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and soy! not soy sauce, but soybean oil. and this comes together to create what i like to call... can you see that? -i thought the table would be smaller. can you see it? scieoclean! scieo-clean! science and clean in one word. -okay. very thorough. thanks for coming in. and we'll be in touch, down the road. i have full fda approval, and i have enough financial backing... -actually, we're already in talks with major companies... yeah. whose products are toxic and harmful. as well as established organic companies. but develop some brand recognition and maybe, in a year or two, we'll revisit. -newmessage. so,howdiditgo? i know, i know. i'm driving you crazy, but i'm on pins and needles here, andy! they loved you, i bet. -kmart! i can't believe it! my son at kmart! messagedeleted. hi, this is joyce, leave a message, bye! -hey,ma, got your billion messages. here are some answers to your questions: kmart went great, do not buy me slacks, i do not want to do pilates, and i'm excited to see you, too. andy! -andy! whoo-hoo! yoo-hoo! andy! andy! -andy! i'm over here! honey! hey, ma. i'm over here! -i see you. hey! all of newark sees you. hi! hi, there. -hey, ma. oh, my baby. oh, my god! good to see you. look at you! -look at you! yes. look at me. oh, my god! oh, my god. -yeah. okay. let's get out of the way here. are you wearing a sports jacket? yeah, i am. -how did you know even to buy a sports jacket? i took a class in it. yeah. look at this. oh, my god! -honey, look! you left the price tag on. j. crew? my fancy-schmancy son! yeah, that's me. -i'm just gonna keep it, in case it goes on sale. okay, great. thanks. is it hot in here, or is it just me? just you. -not hot at all. just me? you're kidding. nope. i made chicken for dinner. -oh, awesome. and i invited some of the girls over because they really can't wait to see you. ugh. you know, i'd kinda rather you didn't. i just got off a long flight. -i don't know if i want to... oh... you're tired and everything? yeah, i have jet lag a bit. the last thing you need is to put on a show for my friends. -right. yeah. exactly. thank you, ma. thank you for understanding. -i just made so much chicken is all. hmm. i can't believe little andy, all grown up! andwearingasportsjacket. it's from j. crew. -show them the label. yeah, it's pretty affordable. did you know that andy is starting his own business? oh. is that right? -yeah,heinventedanewproduct and now he's going to go travel door-to-door selling it. isn't that right, andy? no, that's actually not even close. you know, it's dangerous to go door-to-door. i'm not going door-to-door. -they stopped doing that decades ago. did i hear wrong, honey? it's okay. it's complicated. that's close enough, i guess. -andy, it's so nice to finally meet you. you, too. yeah. i have heard only great things about you. oh, that's nice. -gayleisournew friend. she's our weight watchers leader. her husband's dead. i'm really sorry to hear that. i'm not. -hecouldn'tdropdead soon enough. he was horrible! she couldn't wait to get rid of him, honey. andy, you have to help me. please convince her to come to my singles event with me. -one night. oh, yeah! come on. don't say that. you gotta do it! -i don't want to go there. i am telling you, you will be the belle of the ball. more like the belle of the "bald." i don't need it. i'm very happy. -gotmorefrogs since thanksgiving, huh, ma? yeah,youcan'timagine how many places sell frogs. i hope you're drinking water, andy. mmm-hmm. good. -good boy. because i'm up to six bottles a day now. you know? it's very good for your skin. good. -that's why i'm doing it. i'm so glad you do that, honey. what are you doing right now? i'm refilling my water bottle. 'cause it's silly to pay big prices for a case of bottles, basically, you know, when you can use this over and over again. -so you're really gonna drive cross-country for these meetings? yeah. all the way to vegas, yeah. you seeing anyone? no. -not at the moment. no? i thought you were seeing that girl with the exotic name. bethany? yes! -bethany. what happened to her? yeah, that just didn't really work out. you know... so what about the one before her? -the oriental. that is not remotely an acceptable term anymore, and... i don't know, it just didn't work out. you'd think one of them would have worked out by now, hmm? what about you? -are you seeing anyone at the moment? andy, please don't be disgusting. you want me to go to one of gayle's miserable singles events? that's what you want? you want me whoring myself out? -put on a thong? i'm going to sleep now, ma. oh. yeah. i took out the old home movies and i thought we would watch it together. -you know, i just... i'm not adjusted yet. i'm still jet lagged. i just... oh, i understand. -yeah. good night. good night, honey! i bought some underwear for you at the gap. okay. -wecanreturnit tomorrow if it doesn't fit! that'sprettygross. they know me there! okay. cani turnthisthingoff? -we've been doing this for two hours. justafew moreminutes,okay? look how cute he is. look, ma, i'm sorry... how long do you want me to film this? -youarethebestboy. the most perfect boy in the world. do you know that? like mommy tells you every night, if all the little boys in the world were lined up and i could only pick one, i'd pick you every time. -i love you, andy. you're my perfect boy. allright. thiswillbe good for you. a little adventure. -all right. this is ridiculous. come on, mom. just give it a shot. it could be fun. -didyoujustask ifi hiked? no! i don't hike. sorry. try the skinny one in the corner. -she looks sporty. don't talk to me though, because i'm thinking. youcouldn'teventry ,ma? i mean, you're never going to meet a man like that. dad died when i was eight years old. -you haven't been on one date since then. right? you know what it comes down to? it comes down to mm's in bed. yeah, because when... -those years i was with your father, you know? i would hide them under my pillow until he fell asleep so i could eat them without being criticized. and i will never hide my mm's again. it really makes a lot of sense, when you put it like that. -it does. that's a good reason to give up on men altogether. listen... you know what? because of candy. -you're one to give advice, honey? i mean, why aren't you with someone? you know what it is, ma? what? i just haven't found a girl who'll let me eat mm's in bed at night. -oh, stop it! i mean, seriously, why is that a legitimate excuse for you and not for me? you say the same thing. because i've had my marriage. i've had my family. -i've been to the dance and now i am tired. you are skipping the dance altogether! maybe you need therapy. yeah. it helps me. -i don't need therapy. and since when do you go to therapy? anita and i meet once a week for coffee. well, unless you two are meeting a therapist for coffee, then you're not going to therapy, 'cause anita's a librarian. i'll tell you what we mostly talk about... -yeah? is why i blame myself for your deep-seated problems with women. good. you talk to anita about my deep-seated problems with women that you've imagined. yeah. -sometimes i feel like i ruined it for you. you know what? i know. i know you do. you know why? -because you set the bar so high for all other women, that no one lives up to my mom. no, it's not that. it is. i'm going to sleep, ma. okay? -no, i... anita says i should tell you about the boy i fell in love with in florida. the what? it's time you know this about me, andy. know what? -well, there was this incident in my life that i really never told you about. i went to florida on vacation. i was very young, 19, 20, something like that. okay. good. -and i met a boy, and i fell in love with him. yeah. honestly, andy, i fell in love with him kind of instantly. okay. he lived in manhattan, too. -mmm-hmm. and so we came back and we started seeing each other. he didn't want anything serious, but i was just caught up with this... oh, the passion of it all! oh. -andy, we were so passionate. feel free to skim over those details as much as you want. i won't gross you out. yeah. that's cool. -i mean, he didn't want to be serious, really, at the time. but i wanted a family, i wanted a baby. that's all i ever really wanted. and so, eventually, your father came along. what about the guy from... -you met in florida? well, he became boyfriend number one and your dad became boyfriend number two. no, honey... that's nasty! it was a trampy year for mommy. -oh! please. anyway... why are you telling me this? your father proposed within, like, a month, i think. -so i went to the boy and i said, you know, "i met somebody and he wants to marry me", hoping that he would say, "joyce, you cannot do that." "you cannot marry this guy!" but he didn't say that. you know what he actually said? he said, "you're great." -but he told me to marry your father. oh, god. i was so devastated. i was so devastated that i couldn't even see him again. well, what happened? -well... what happened? i married your father, we moved, i got pregnant, and... when we found out it was a boy, you know, -i started going through names, as people do, and... you want your child to remind you of someone you love... loved! and so... i named you andy after the boy from florida. -you want more ice cream? holy shit. andy! please. enough with the language, okay? -did... did dad know about this? now, that is not something that you share with your husband. you know? holy shit! -what is wrong with you? that is enough with the street talk, okay? ma, i... i need you to be honest with me, okay? yes, i will. -is he my father? no, honey. no, he's not your father. no, no. it was two years later when i had you. -his last name is margolis. andy margolis. from jr advertising. isn't it funny how i remember that? yeah. -yeah. jr. hi. i'm trying to track down someone who used to work in your new york office. probably many years ago. -the name is andy, or... andrew margolis? hold on, please. okay, i see that andrew margolis is in our san francisco offices. okay. -great! how long ago did he work there? no, sir. mr. margolis is an executive v.p. in our san francisco office currently. -really? would you like to be connected? okay! andrew margolis's office. seriously? -no shit. is, uh... is andrew in, please? mr. margolis is in europe until next monday. this is becky. -hi, becky. i'm a very old friend of andrew's. we were in nam together? just backpacking though. and i thought it would be great to see him again. -so i guess he finally took the wife on that trip to europe she's always wanted, huh? mr. margolis isn't married, sir. is there a specific message you'd like to leave? no! no. -so he gets back next monday. yes, he does. okay. thank you. you're welcome. -holy shit. i made eggs just the way you like them, and i used turkey bacon, which was on sale, but i know it's still good. i'm always concerned for your health, right? you know, i was up all night last night, because i was thinking about your problems, andy. -jessica was your first serious relationship. so let's start with her. i remember when you broke up, but i can't remember why. do you remember? hmm. -okay! we'll skip jessica for now. uh, what do you think we should do today, honey? oh, you know what? you have to remind me to get tylenol later, 'cause i'm running low. -and i also told gayle that i would pick some up for her. did i remember to call gayle back? i don't know what's happening to me. i'm getting forgetful. you want to come on the trip with me, mom? -huh? my road trip, that i'm going on. i, uh... it's long, and i thought maybe i could use some company in the form of you. you want to drive cross-country in a car with me?

more than anything in the world. don't you think i would drive you crazy? don't you think i might get on your nerves a little bit? no, you know what? -it was just a thought and if you don't want to do it, then fine. i don't want to push you... what? what? am i so awful that you can't spend a little time in a car with me? -jesus christ, ma, how did you turn this around? i just invited you to... i'm inviting you! do you want to drive across the country with me?

i have you in a dodge durango, gps included, returning in san francisco. -great. do you really need an suv? the gas'll cost more than the car. so that comes out to $112 a day. wait, wait, wait! -i got a coupon. good. yeah. that works. it takes 15% off, so... -it brings your new total to $940. excuse me one second. way to go! yeah. that was very exciting. -i was going to ask. really. yes! i thought you forgot. you thought in the two seconds since you reminded me... -anyway! anyway, nowadays small cars are fine in the snow. they probably have that gps thing. they don't. okay? -only big cars have gps. actually, our gps systems are separate. you can rent them with any car. and our economy cars handle quite well in the snow. hmm. -thank you, mark. you're welcome. sowe'lljustgobythecircus , drop off our clowns... andy,stopit ! it 'sadorable. -yousureyoudon 'tmind driving, ma?

yes, i do. -so after that... jessica in nashville. i know. you know, i ran into her mother recently. she says it's lovely there! -i'm sure it is. so... you know, i spoke to anita this morning. anita says that it would be good for you to get some closure with that relationship. so if we have time, we should meet up with her. -from texas, we head to santa fe, where i have one more pitch, then vegas. mmm! a mom and her baby boy in vegas. sounds like fun! that's their new slogan, i think, for tourism. -"a mom and her baby boy in vegas." yeah. mmm. you know, i can't stop thinking about... what, honey? about that story you told me the other night, honestly. -about andy margolis. i mean, tell me more about him. what was it... what was it about him that you liked so much? i don't know. -broad shoulders, you know. oops! sorry. okay, what else? anything less physically based? -i was cross-eyed when i was a little girl. i told you that, right? what does this have to do with what i asked you? well, one day i meet this boy, out of nowhere. andy margolis. -we went out on this first date. we were dancing, and he told me that i was beautiful. he was the first person to ever tell me that. don't you ever wonder, like, where he is, what happened to him? a little bit? -it's in the past, andy. it's in the past. icouldprobably find him if you really wanted. don'tyoudare! he's probably fat and obnoxious by now. -maybehe'sjustfat . what are you doing? no, no! don't move their stuff around! what are you doing? -just put it on the floor. no, i don't put things on the floor. the floor is dirty. the floor is too dirty for your purse? you've been using that tissue in there for the last three days. -well, there's always a clean side. but it's true. you keep shoving it back in there. i know, but i don't do things like that. and anyway i forgot, i got my gizmo. -purse hook. of course. whoa! what are you... what? -you did something to me. what is that? just pick it up. push it back. no. -it's fine. show your face. ma, my hair looks fine. okay, okay. is it weird? -no, it's nice now. did you make it look weirder?

-i need two rooms, okay? andy, don't be ridiculous. is that what you said? two rooms? it's not ridiculous. -it's very necessary. it's a waste of money! not wasting money. two separate rooms. sorry. -don't be sorry! just don't imply that i am sleeping with my mother. i am ready to go to market and i have full fda approval! ooh! that sounds very impressive, andy! -oh! fda approval! oh, that is fancy. very fancy. thank you, ma. -good. i do have a few thoughts. great. it's just a little hard to follow. i'm still a little unclear, with all the coconuts... -what was that thing? "dermal"? for the skin? yeah. dermal. skin. -yeah, i'm saying like... i'm saying it's safe if you get it on your skin or in your eyes or if you ingest it by accident, you know? well, why don't you just say that? i mean, keep it simple. make it clear. -i would get personal with them, too. like, you talk about their kids, talk about their pets. possibly seeing one of their loved ones writhing in agony on the floor because they just accidentally swallowed some of these other brands, you know? that's good. you know what i should do is actually bring in a kid and poison it in front of them. -and then they could actually just see what that would be like. now you're being silly. i'm just saying, if it's safe to put on your skin, then put it on your skin. if it's safe to drink it... -yeah. drink it. real good thinking, yeah. you probably need to flavor it. yeah. -yeah. cherry flavor, maybe, or root beer. it's a cleaning product, ma, so root beer might be kind of a weird... no, no! oh, mint! -mint. i'm just saying, if you drank it, it would make it certainly more entertaining. you know? make it more of a show. well, i'm a scientist, ma, i'm not a performer. -so, it's not really my priority to make it a show. i'm not a showman, ma. that is nonsense, honey. yeah. remember how good you were in man of la mancha? -people like a performance. you're right. no, you're right. that's a great idea. i should just do man of la mancha maybe. -i... you know what? i'll tell you what i would do. what would you do? i would change the name, too. -because, look at this, this is very confusing. what is it? psychoclean? no. skyoclean? -science clean. no. it's scieoclean, and it's kind of hard to change the name because it's written on 10,000 bottles that i've already paid for. so... well, it's just peculiar, is all. -okay, i'll change the name. okay? great. okay. good. -oh, andy, i'm having such a great time! that's good, ma. because i never get to go to nice places like this. mmm, it's true. this place has a quarter of a star, so that's pretty good. -do you know that they have a free continental breakfast here? i'm glad you're having such a cultured trip with me, ma. i'm in absolute heaven. good. well, you know what? -i'm pretty tired. maybe it's time we go to sleep. oh, i should let you sleep. thank you. i am so sorry. -no problem. thank you. and we don't want to miss that breakfast, do we? no. of course. -good night. okay, okay. shh! are you chewing on marbles over there? what is that sound, ma? -what are you doing? what am i doing? i don't know what... it's really loud! i'm sorry. -is that tin foil you're playing with? just my mm's. oh. okay, okay. you go to sleep. -see you in the morning. you can take one of my books into the bathroom if you have to make. okay. oh. it's getting really dark, isn't it? -god, i hope it doesn't snow. honey, we're in tennessee. it doesn't snow in tennessee. you see? this is this climate change thing! -it's good i brought clothes for all kinds of weather. what are you doing? i'm getting my coat out! you're not being helpful! you're distracting me! -just sit down! where's your coat? this is not very helpful right now. i can't believe i let you talk me out of getting an suv. i can't believe this. -andy, just drive slow, okay? don't worry about what the truckers think. i'm not worried about what the truckers think! why would i be worried about... don'tscream! -let'sjustgetoff thisroad ! maybe we should call jessica! you've got to be kidding me! okay, we won't call her! no, we got a flat tire! -oh, this is a nightmare! i'm pulling over. good. pullover! oh, we're going to die, ma! -no, we're not. where's your coat?

i don't know what's wrong. why don't we call triple a? -look, there's a restaurant there. let's go and wait inside. oh... does that say "tapas"? i love tapas! -that's not what it says, ma! overhere,sweetheart! yeah! this place smells like strawberry gum. pleasedon'tsitnearme. -when i was younger, your father tried to make me go to one of these places with him. he thought it would be "sexy." mmm. yeah. what can i say? -it's not that, is it? what? excuse me? what? your problems with women. -do you think any of it is sexual? i actually almost threw up all over the table when you asked me that. stop saying that. i almost projectile vomited -all over the bar. oh, please. you know, come to think of it, when you were a baby, about two months old, your penis started turning purple. i swear. please stop. -if i didn't inspect that penis carefully every day, till you were five. i'm begging you to stop talking right now. you'd tell me if your penis started turning purple again, right? my penis could literally grow an eyeball and i wouldn't tell you about it. i just worry about you. -the color of my penis... it's not purple. it's pink. hi! thank you. -thank you, sweetheart. the roads are pretty awful. could take the tow truck quite a while. our girl moonlight's pretty good with cars. you want me to ask her to take a look? -who's moonlight? oh, my gosh, this is the cutest little thing. that's very nice of you, moonlight. i just wish you were wearing something warmer. oh, that's sweet of you, but i'm fine. -put your hood up, honey. no. i don't want to. oh. here it is. -you got ice frozen up around the tire. it's blocking the wheel and making it feel like you got a flat. my god! you sure about that? you sure it's not flat? -i'm positive. wow! she really is a mechanic! she really knows what she's doing. my god, you weren't kidding. -thank you very much. those heels come in handy. i'm very impressed. may i interest you in a private dance? oh! -i'd love... thank you, but maybe another time when my mom's not here. on! great. thank you. -okay. god bless, y'all! bye bye! cover up! oh, thank you, miss joyce. -they're saying you shouldn't get on the highway right now. are you staying local? yeah, we'll just get a hotel or something, i guess. well, actually, we don't have to because... it's gonna be tough finding a room anywhere in this. -i bet. you got anywhere you can crash? yeah! no. we do not. -we do know somebody. we don't. don't you think we... no, we don't. wecouldcall... -you know. jessica, thanks for picking us up, honey. your mother fills me in occasionally. how have you been, honey? uh, well, pregnant, mrs. b. -yeah, i'm due again in april. i feel like a house. oh, no. well, you look fantastic! yeah. -you look very pretty, still. oh, well, thank you. i... i appreciate the lie. no, not a lie at all. -honestly, i don't know how i keep getting pregnant. igotatheory. it's called two margaritas and love actually. everytime,right? verynicehouse! -yeah. very lovely color. good paint job. new paint job, new fixtures. it's very beautifully done. -it's quite a setup you have here. well, thanks. yeah, we like it. i think it took a while for my jersey girl here to get adjusted, but i think she digs it. yeah,i do. -so, wait... so, andy, you and jessica were high school sweethearts? yeah, we dated for a while in high school. yeah. it was great. -it was a really fun time. oh, wow. hey, you know, she talks about you all the time. oh! really? -that's funny, because we've been talking about jessica a lot. i don't know if we talk about her a lot. have we? i mean, a normal amount. she came up several times in conversation. -very casually. you see, jessica, andy is still single, and we were wondering whether your break-up had anything to do with it. what do you think? no, yeah, don't be ridiculous. -i mean, we were just kids. you broke up with me when we were, what, like, 17? eighteen. eighteen. mmm-hmm. -waitaminute. you broke up with her? well, technically, i guess. god! remember how crazy you were? -i was young and kind of... you know, i felt a lot. big feelings. mrs. b, did you know that andy proposed to me right before we went to college? it was like a serious get-on-your-knee kind of proposal right in the middle of the football field. -it was silly. it was a silly thing to do. i said we were too young, obviously, and he ended it, just like that! mmm-hmm. yeah! -andy, can you imagine if i'd said yes? no. hmm. you proposed to her. andy, that's so... -i wish i knew that. well, you do now. i was just trying to help. you always are. maybe it was healthy to see her. -maybe it'll help you get on with your life. or maybe, just once, you could have, one time, just minded your own business, ma. maybe that could have happened. look, i have costco today, okay? i would appreciate it very much if we could just drive in silence until we get to texas. -i would... i would appreciate that very much. they're gonna come get me in a second, so just wait here until i'm back and don't talk to anyone. can i just say one thing? no. -you can't. andy, i don't think they're coming to get you. why would they not be coming down to get me? because i'm noticing how it's done here. it's like a different thing. -you know? they come to your table or something. the people with the red, they see things on the table. you bring your product or something. i... -shit! go away. just leave. where am i gonna meet you? andrew? -hi! hi there! a pleasure to finally meet you, andrew. ryan mcfee. yeah. -great. costco. this is joyce. joyce... ton, my... -joyce joyston. my business partner. ah! yes! i'm his business partner. -then you should have a seat. fantastic! yeah! of course. have a seat. -"business partner, sit!" yes. whywouldn'tyou ? so, i would just like to start by saying how honored i am that costco wholesale would meet with me. i know the backing of costco could really make a product into something big. -well, i'm looking forward to hearing your pitch. thank you. now, some history on my product. i'm sorry. no problem! -what is that? my purse hook. what does it do? it just keeps the pocketbook from touching the dirty floor. ah! -that is great! yeah, it's really neat. where'd you get that, the purse hook? uh, amazon, i think. hmm. -go. no, i am not going. it's rude. go. no, it would look bad. -get out of here! it's very rude. extremely rude. will you just go? stop that. -sorry. please, continue. i created a micro-emulsion suspension, ryan, that harnesses the natural cleaning and foaming power of coconut oil, palm kernel oil... oxygen. -and soy! or as i like to call it, scieoclean! scieoclean! sounds good. -oh, oh! scieoclean. yes. it took me a second. sorry. -it read at first like skyoclean. or psychoclean. that's an unusual response. don't get hung up on the name, ryan. i mean, because andrew was thinking of changing it. -oh, that's a good idea. is he? ah. joyce is right. it's unclear. -uh-huh. i agree. yeah. i wasn't really considering it. i don't know what... -we talked about changing it. no, we didn't. in the hotel. i don't remember that. you said that the other night at the hotel. -i did? don't you remember, honey? don't call me "honey." mr. brewster. maybe if you simply relabeled the bottle "science clean." -that's a good idea. i don't actually have any money to relabel any bottles. wait a minute. how much would it cost to relabel the bottles? bulk? -a fraction of a cent. half a cent! and you're going to sell bulk. what's the big deal? well, the aggregate amount... -so, listen, andrew, when you relabel the bottle... "when" is a little preemptive. i don't know if i would jump to the "when" conclusion. listen to what he's saying. when you do, i would change -the whole color scheme. i agree. it should be more, like, magenta. what's gonna pop? you know? -i would strongly consider relabeling that bottle. i know, but i put a lot of thought into this... listentowhat the man is saying. you'regoingto have to relabel the bottle. i'm not changing the goddamn label, ryan! -okay. i know. i shouldn't have said anything. yep. there are many other stores besides costco. -yep. think of all the other sales you already made. ah! well, the good news is, i have got enough hair product to last me for years. -if you're going to drink all that alcohol, you should really hydrate. i don't want to say it again, so... so, i'll just leave the water bottle here. i only say that because i read that for every glass of alcohol that you drink, you need an extra glass of water... -ma. ma! can you not see that i don't want to talk right now? are you... are you blind? -how idiotic can you be? can you not tell that i don't want any water? enough with the nagging and the water! just shut up! just shut up! -i don't know what to say. finally. "finally", you said? you little shit. mmm! -you condescending, self-absorbed little shit. i can't do anything right by you, can i, andy? everything i say is wrong, everything i do is wrong. go ahead. why don't you keep insulting me? -'cause you haven't made it quite clear just how much you can't stand being with me! what do you think, i'm stupid? you think i'm stupid? no. you think i don't know that you went to school in california so that you'd only have to see me once a year? -why, andy? why? what did i do wrong? what did i do? did i care for you too much? -did i love you too much? what did i do? okay, ma. it's not okay! this is the way you talk to me? -like i'm some thing that has to be tolerated? well, let me tell you something, kiddo. you don't have to like me, or spend time with me. but as long as i'm your mother, you will treat me with respect. now drink your fucking water before you drop dead from dehydration! -iwastellingyou thisstory that was about macy's and... you heard of macy's? yes, ma'am. iwassittinginthecar,yousee , and i was trying to jam the key in the ignition, but it wouldn't turn on. and you know why it wouldn't turn on? -because i was sitting in the wrong car! isn't that funny? it was very funny at the time. hey, ma. oh, my god! -look at who's here. the big, bad son! andy! hey, son. what, did you come to get me? -we should probably head back to the room, for a minute. i don't think so. no? i'm having fun here, andy! i'm being fun! -and i'm meeting men! andy! isn't that what you wanted? that's not really what i meant, mom. everybody, say hello to my little boy who lives in california, far away from his mommy. -the opposite side of the world. ma, you're drunk right now. please! you've had too much to drink. i am not drunk. -i'm not drunk! he's far, far away. but that's okay! it's okay. jimmy? -you know it's okay because he calls me on my birthday and sometimes he comes home for thanksgiving. i need another one of these drinky-poos! okay? coming up. jimmy, i think she's actually had enough to drink, thank you very much. -no, i haven't! don't listen to him, jimmy! i want another drink, and i need more cheesy fries. seriously, i think she's had enough to drink. sorry, boss. -the lady wants a drink, she's getting a drink. the thing is, the lady doesn't actually need a drink. i paid for it, she's drinking it. look, you are crazy if you think i'm gonna let you give that drink to my mom. -you should just get out of my way now. wait... actually, i'm really tired. i think we should be going. we gotta be going. -no, no, no, no, no. thank you so much. joyce... no... hey! -hey! oh,mygod! no, no, jimmy... quite a night. do you remember what i used to say when people asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up? -i didn't say baseball player. a lot of my friends wanted to be power rangers. that was a very popular profession. i was the weirdest kid in the world, because i said organic chemist every time! i mean, that's the only thing i ever wanted to be. -do you remember that? yes, i do. always doing these strange experiments in the basement, wearing these goggles. i remember them. four times too big for your head. -dude, those things saved my eyes many times. i went to ucla because they have the best organic chemistry program in the country. that's the only reason. you hungry? always. -okay. allright. let'ssee . i'll have an appetizer... thank you. -you're welcome. thanks. i like those hats. i'm sorry about last night, ma, what i said. i shouldn't have said that. -i said some things, too. yeah, you did. i haven't made one sale, ma. i, uh... i've spent the last five years developing a product that's really good, and that i can't sell, at all, to anybody. -all my money, all my time, all the money dad left me, i have none of that anymore. and, honestly, i have no idea what i'm going to do from now on, so... i thought you should know that. why didn't you say anything? -i don't know. you know, you always say, "who could say no to you?" i didn't want to... i didn't want to have to read you the list. i could give you advice. -i'm sure you could. but i'm not going to. 'cause you're a grown-up, andy, and i want you to be your own man. so you can... when did you call anita? -before i went to the bar last night. okay. andy, don't give up, okay? i mean, we still have three more meetings, right?

-yeah! for sure. yeah. thanks. i hope this isn't being too forward, but when i see a woman eat like that, well, it just makes a man want to stick his neck out. -i do business in new york. i was hoping maybe i could take you out to dinner one night. hmm. i do know some restaurants where you don't have to eat on a stage. that's funny. -the thing about dating... it is a date, right? it's just so uncomfortable, talking and eating with someone you don't know. some would argue that that's actually how you get to know someone. yeah, that's... -you could argue that. i don't know what to say. it's just been a long time. well, i tell you what. when you're ready, give me a call. -i will think about it, ben. joyce. drive carefully! i will. you take care now. -bye, mr. graw! nice to meet you. it's ben. ben. see you, andrew. -bye, ben! how scandalous! mother! don't you say... what a scandal! -stop it. come on. don't do that.

you know, we've been having fun. we should keep it going. i've only been punched in one side of my face. -i'm letting you off the hook, you know. you drove all the way to las vegas with your mother. i have enough bragging material to last the rest of my life, honey. ma. i don't actually have a meeting in san francisco. -i tracked down andy. margolis. he's the meeting in san francisco. he had the same job. he works for the same company! -he got transferred to the west coast. and i got his information. i got his number and his email and his address. and he's not married. so i figured why not? -when? when what? when did you track him down? right after you told me he existed. i tracked him down. -it was really easy. so that's why you wanted me to come with you. so i could see andy margolis. ma, of course not! i think that i wanted to meet him, too, you know. -oh, god. i was so stupid! why is that... why are you stupid? oh, my god. -i actually thought that you wanted to spend time with me. i do want to spend time with you, ma. that's why i invited you. it's okay. i'm not mad. -i mean, most kids wouldn't even care enough. i just, uh... i thought it was something else, that's all. ma, let's just talk about it for one minute, okay? you don't have to go. -no, no. it's okay. you better get ready for your meeting, honey. comeon,ma ! that's not what this is... -andrew brewster for skyoclan? scieoclean. okay, mr. brewster, you get five minutes to explain the product and demonstrate. our hostess, amy, will introduce you and you can interact with her however you want. any questions? -yeah, i didn't realize this was a whole thing. i didn't realize it was on camera. you're gonna be great. go for it. hello. -hi. andrew, hello! hi, yes, i'm andrew. nice to meet you. i'm amy. -nice to see you. hi, amy. hi. so... oh, gee. -no, thank you. i'm okay. thank you. so we're gonna look right out to the front here. wow! -this is the real set. yes, we're on the set now. roll cameras! ooh! it's hot in here. -it is warm. it's very bright. i... action! welcome back to hsn. -i'm here with andrew brewster, creator of an exciting new organic cleaning supply. tell us a little bit about scieoclean, andrew. it's actually scieo-clean. that's exactly what i said. it is. -uh... scieoclean, as i call it, is an exciting new cleaning product that harnesses the natural foaming and cleaning power of three completely renewable resources. interesting. they are... here they come, out of your special secret box. -coconut oil... a coconut! that's a coconut. let's see. that's hard. -that's a hard nut to crack, isn't it? as i previously stated, a neutral ph reading is somewhere between six and eight. now, if you recall, scieoclean came in at seven, which was perfect. now, my competitor's ph reading is nine point... can you see it? -is it in the... i don't know if you're zooming in on... but it says nine point six, which is high, and it, uh... i lost you guys. uh... -i totally lost you guys. that lady's sending an email. i've completely lost you, and i think i know why i lost you guys. it's 'cause this sucks! and it's boring. -and it's full of a bunch of science-y stuff that no one really cares about. so, why don't i try this? just tell me about yourself, amy. do you have kids? you have any pets or anything like that? -yes, i do. i have a dog and a little girl. okay. what are their names? mr. pickles and gabriella. -oh, that's funny. if i have a daughter, i'm gonna name her mr. pickles as well. sorry. so let me ask you, you probably go through great pains to prevent mr. pickles and gabriella from dying, if i'm not mistaken. -well, yes, i would. is this what you normally clean your house with? it's whatever's on sale. it's usually blue or yellow. that would be correct, yes. -well, here's the problem with that. it's extremely poisonous. and it's really dangerous. i can show you statistics and experiments that prove that my product doesn't only clean better than those, but it's safer. but if i've shown you one thing, it's that that is really boring. -so instead, i'll just do this. i'll step back for the experiment. oh, my god. wow. i'm impressed. -i am. scieoclean is the best cleaning product that's ever been invented. it's completely natural, it's completely safe, and it cleans better than any product on the market. if any of my competitors are making the same claim, all i say is, come on tv and drink your product. but i don't think you will because no one wants to shit blood on tv. -that's it. that's all i got. scieoclean. it's safe, it's non-toxic, and you can drink it. -and cut! uh, mr. brewster? yeah. well, we are intrigued! you're... -you're intrigued? absolutely! that presentation was wonderful. you actually drank that stuff? i did drink it! -yeah! it's made out of food. it was a great pitch. thank you so much! if you want to hear more... -i said it was boring, but the stuff about the micro-emulsion is actually pretty amazing. does it actually clean? yes, it cleans great. okay, we're gonna wanna see that at some point. oh, yeah, anytime. -i can demonstrate that anytime. and it has full fda approval? i have full fda... how many units do you have ready for market? thousands of units. -i have way more than i should, probably. well, we're gonna have to run it up the ladder, obviously, but i have a really good feeling about this. thank you so much. oh, thank you! thanks. -wow. great presentation. well, i'm glad you think so. you have my info. absolutely. -we'll be in touch. great job. thanks for sticking with me. just don't say anything. just turn around. -just keep walking. i'm not saying anything. just turn around. people love a performance. stay calm. -i know, i know. this was better than man of la mancha! so how bad did it taste? it was horrible! it was so gross! -well, you acted great. oh, thank you. it needed the mint. it does. what about the guy? -what did he say to you? he said it was a great pitch. he said he's going to move it up the ladder. no! yes! -he used the ladder word? he used the word "ladder"! i know! you're going to be famous! i might be, i don't know! -do you still want to go to san francisco? seriously? yeah. we're practically there. you're curious, i'm curious, so, what the hell? -yeah, if... are you... are you sure you want to? yeah. okay. -great. okay. okay. so,honey,whatifyou take an eye dropper and you drop it in your eyes? oh,you'reright! -you knowwhat ? it's actually not a bad idea. i should do it. youcouldalso put it in your nose. right. -sowhatwasyourplan ? um,well,ithoughtyou'dcallhim and you'd say, "hey, remember me?" and then you guys would go have some tea, and then you would marry each other. well, then you don't have to pay for my old age home. -exactly. that's the real plan. very, very good thinking. here. here. -his number's on top there. what? call him. put it on speakerphone. put it on speakerphone. -oh, no, honey... i want to hear. yeah. okay. this is the moment of truth. -okay. i hope he's home. i hope he's not home. i hope he's home. this is very tense for me. -how'd you get this number? well, there's this internet now. oh! oh, right. it has tons of information. -okay, i'm going to press... "call." just hit "call." you sure that this is his number? that is the number. i can't take the pressure. -hello? this is it. talk. hello? andy? -speaking. hello? keep talking. i can't. what was that?

i do. i know that, yes. you told me. i have to... -yeah. you are really getting dolled up over there, ma. honey, the man hasn't seen me since i was 21. i don't want to scare him. well, then don't do that. -i'mnotgoingtodothatinfrontof him. niceneighborhood. verynice. oh,mygod. mmm ! -this is it, ma. this is the house. really?

i spilled brake fluid on myself really? i mend cars in my neighbourhood. you can check -it's your job to check that of course shall i show him the photos? what's this shit? a mother and her seven-year-old... found dead in the canal, tied together -why are you showing me this? we think you and your gang are involved in "this shit" this is crazy. i don't have a gang you and the lads who rob cashpoints aren't a gang? -look. this one's really funny this one's my favourite look that's not me -that's not me - if you say so these photos and that burn will put you away for at least four years times that by four for the murders that makes 16 i've got nothing to do with any of it -i almost want to believe you but you're our only link between the two cases either give up your fellow raiders... or take the rap for the murders i won't rat on anybody no one would know. -this is off the record before your lawyer shows up... forget it. he's a moron. he doesn't know what's good for him -thanks. i couldn't find it hello. i'm aurélien lefort, your lawyer i need a word with my client -we just need a quick half-hour to talk things over. don't worry it's fine. i don't want a lawyer what?

-you said this was off the record relax. it won't be in the report is the laptop freaking you out? i can do it old school, if you'd rather -what's the nutjob's surname? i only know his first name and your other colleague? zach called him sharif i'd never seen him before -first and last time i work with that son of a bitch! where does zach live? no idea. we always met at a cafe near the station in asnières do you know him? -are you sure? never seen him before how did you get your job at travelcity? zach said they wanted people to wash cars i just went along with my cv -your cv? did zach know someone in the office? no idea. i'm not the police show me the woman -i've seen her before. i've seen her with zach when? three weeks ago, she was in the cafe in asnières i remember thinking that she was really fit -that she was cute.. how was she with zach? did she seem to know him well? i don't know. they spoke, then she left -why? who is she? it's her i must be thinking of someone else that's not what you just said -go and get him. i need a lawyer come in well, boss... we've cocked up -we went for jaulin and overlooked sandrine apparently, she knew one of the raiders she met him regularly at a cafe in asnières. blanco told us that some man called zach... -what was sandrine jaulin doing with this zach? gilou, here are the two raiders' files... and the report from the fingerprint expert great are you listening? what was the murder victim doing with this raider? -what do we really know about sandrine jaulin? what do we have on sandrine jaulin? we overlooked her well done. excellent work -what do we have on the raiders? we have their records. here are their prints he's zacharie gabbaï known as the nutjob. -the skinhead i can read he used to work in transport security fired for gross misconduct - he beat up a guy his record is as long as my arm -he served three years for aggravated robbery and assault in march 2011 this is his childhood pal, marouane benamar, known as sharif his record is a bit better - just two robberies when he was a minor do we know where these two live? no. -we don't yet have an address did they both carry out the raids? yes. but their prints don't match the ones from the car maybe there was a fourth person -or maybe someone used the car before them ok. let's make this simple let's review sandrine jaulin job, family, phone, contacts... what's in her fridge, the number of her chiropodist... -i want to know everything for these two geniuses... circulate photos and descriptions we'll keep their families under surveillance let's look into the cafe where blanco claims he saw zach in aubervilliers -asnières asnières, what? the cafe isn't in aubervilliers. it's in asnières berthaud, are we getting anywhere with sandrine jaulin? -what do you mean? forget it are you sure we can't try to contact your mum? we've staff trained in mediation... no. -i just need a place to stay for a few weeks. i can cope afterwards the three nice rooms in gennevilliers are all occupied what should we do? if you had a kid, it would be easy if you had a kid, it would be easy -should i go and get myself knocked up? there's another organisation which may have rooms here you go are you joking? they were the ones who told me to come here -where do i sleep tonight? we'll find something else. wait. we'll find something what do you think? -don't be mean that's, crazy you need to relax calm down stop it -what's that swiss army knife thing? give me your hand what? stop. that's too hard -what's that? what are you doing? it looks pretty no, it really hurts wait -no, it doesn't what's your plan? come in you want me to pat you and your team on the back and you've come here at the busiest moment of my day -we caught a criminal gang in front of the commissioner what else must we do? you're forgetting the dog you shot the fucking dog attacked us he was tied up. -now i have the rspca on my back fuck the rspca. the real victims are the old biddies who were mugged we've now reassured them those old biddies only remember how you shot a poor, defenceless animal -this makes us all look like idiots have you applied to head office? yves i'm a hands-on man it's the right time for me to be in cid -you'll need more than just one case to save your reputation you'll need a dozen cases like this and you can't let anything untoward happen you've no idea how hard my men grafted to catch this gang... the risks they took you want to focus on that fucking dog -wait till we wrap up the two murders it won't be down to coppers like you stop saying yes. look here look. i've been paid the wrong amount -my client was remanded in custody before appearing in court so i've been paid the wrong rate it's a difference of 98 euros if you think it's a mistake.. i don't think anything, it's a fact i'm sure you're right -you'll need to post a claims form by post? that's ridiculous. i'm here. can't we do it now? -claims are always done by post. you should know that don't take that tone with me! i don't have time for post i'm sorry. -now, if you wouldn't mind, other people are waiting i think i know for whom you'll be voting i haven't changed my mind i hope not right, i'll go and do my duty -see you soon, old friend my learned friend thanks hello see? -even the old guard are behind you does he know me? no. but he'll vote for you i told him you were cicero reincarnated. -that convinced him wasn't cicero assassinated? that young woman is looking for you what brings you here? how's jaulin? -not good. why? tell him to hang in there that's all i do. why? -we've got a new lead sandrine had links to the raiders the cash machine raiders? we caught one of them. i'm taking the report to roban -if your client is feeling suicidal, tell him to wait a bit good luck in the elections thanks did you vote for yourself? yes! -are you coming with me? yeah you tell me that blanco recognised sandrine jaulin... but the report contradicts that he didn't want to be linked to the murders. it was off the record -he also told us he saw zach with sandrine.. off the record we can't use it if it's off the record but it's still a lead it shows the victim in a new light sandrine's life was more complex than we thought -we may have missed something we were trying to link jaulin to the raiders apparently it was his wife who knew them is this apparently or definitely? let's say that sandrine did know this zach -the fact remains that jaulin and blanco worked for the same firm that doesn't mean they knew each other it doesn't preclude jaulin's having something to do... with the deaths of his wife and daughter this sort of heinous crime always involves a family member that doesn't have to mean her husband perhaps. -but for the moment, the most likely suspect is her husband jp, would you give me a hand, please? here you go this stuff is from sandrine jaulin's office at the estate agents rental agreements, application forms, potential clients... -that should keep us busy oh, shit yeah? no. i can't today -can't your sister pick them up? no i have too much work on. i can't listen, i'm not in paris -i'm with gilou on a stakeout yeah. we're out in the sticks we're in reims, actually. it's a pain in the arse -what about pink biscuits? they're a speciality from reims they dip them in champagne. i'd love to try them what are you doing here? -do you live here now? at university we virtually lived on top of each other then, our apartments got bigger now you sleep on your office floor at least come by to see the kids -shit. christine.. get off me pathetic little man you look better is the doctor looking in on you? -i've some news let's not get ahead of ourselves but it seems the cloud is lifting the investigation is no longer solely focused on you, but on your wife.. on her character, and her possible links to thugs -does that ring any bells? thugs? raiders, yes i mentioned it last time. things are clearer now -the raiders and sandrine? if it's true, it's great news for us really? yeah you must tell me anything about her which backs up this idea -ok? the judge will probably question you about it he's gunning for me if the evidence proves that sandrine was in contact with the raiders... we could argue for your release you just don't want me to top myself that's not so -the noose is loosening. stéphane really? yes, it really is! really? -yes, it really is! will i be able to see my son? we'll fight for that come closer. you don't have any reach there -you box like a copper. predictable zach the nutjob, you said? yes. does that ring any bells? -maybe it does he works with a guy called marouane benamar or "sharif" we think they're planning a raid gilou, i like you but i can't work with you -what's the problem? don't stop. you were doing well go on. explain -you can trust me does this blanco guy even exist? can i trust you? really? wait. -why can't you trust us? what's the problem? come on the other night, your mate.. tintin, isn't it? -yeah he followed me all night not very discreet... what's your game? are you spying on me? -did you know? i'll sort it did you know or not? i'll sort it no one else will follow you. -believe me i want to believe you, gilou. really, i do but i'm done with the others all sandrine jaulin's apartments were in seine-saint-denis... -aulnay-sous-bois, sevran, livry-gargan i did some digging and found a client with a studio in villepinte.. and two other flats - one in val-de-marne, in bonneuil... and one in hauts-de-seine in asnières asnières! asnières. -ok. what else? look where the flat is it's two streets from the cafe where blanco met zach zach's mobile was traced there -yes that's not all the tenant is one jean-luc lesage.. a civil servant in the education sector it has to be a fake identity here's his payslip -my kids could make a better forgery sandrine jaulin let this go? yeah, it's weird unless she was in on it she could have been the one who found the flat for this guy -maybe he couldn't use his real identity. perhaps both zach fits the bill yeah it's worth checking it out -definitely you can go home. you don't have to come going home early once won't change things. i can't face it any more -did you see djibril? no big news on zach all we know is that he used to go to the gym a fair bit he loved body building what a first-class snitch! -is that why you want to cock this up? what do you mean? don't pretend you don't know. why did you tail him? i just watched his bar for one night. -so what? you followed djibril? who asked you to do that? from the start, i haven't trusted him he pretends to be hard up, but drives fancy cars -he hangs around in fancy parts of town he's taking us for a ride! you think snitches are shifty? do bears shit in the woods? laure's right. -go on, transfer let's suck up to djibril seriously... fuck that's enough. -calm down calm down. gilou shut it bastard -piss off ok. that's enough enough calm down -calm down stop. st op. stop gilou, look at me -stop it stop it. ok? ok? calm down. -let's focus on asnières. we'll discuss this later what about asnières? see? some of us are hard at work -asnières enough roban! what's the matter? it's nothing, really -when i was a child, i was always having nosebleeds they've come back they don't last long when you revert to childhood, it's a sign of wisdom tell me, old friend... -i've heard jaulin would prefer divine justice to dealing with you you've become a feared judge. congratulations but it would be better for all involved... if jaulin could wait for his conviction before he tries again marianne, please check... whether stéphane jaulin is able to come and see me -i'm sure he'll be able to come why should a little suicide attempt get in the way of justice?

within 24 hours that's exactly what the minister wants to hear see, vincent? -not everyone reacts. some people plan ahead bye. have a good day thank you. -good bye thank you for seeing us we know all this how was i supposed to know? at least i got something. -i don't spend my life with riffaut have you seen, among riffaut's associates a tall man with a limp? yannis tzakri a greek activist suspected of killing a police officer "suspected"? -is there a warrant on him? no he killed an officer in greece but was released after a procedural error he entered france via belgium and as he knows riffaut, we think they've made contact without a warrant, he can do what he wants -he's dangerous, and we want to know what he's doing in france i have no idea now i'm afraid i have to get back to work do you work with this man? you think you can blackmail me with that? -two consenting adults... both single, by the way no, but you seem very close and? his reputation suffered badly after that pesky paedophilia scandal -if we tell the bench you're in breach of confidentiality and you're struck off the bar he's fucked you know what people will say. birds of a feather... i want to know if yannis tzakri has contacted riffaut and what he's doing in france you can keep this -gentlemen were they police officers? why do you say that? they just looked like officers look, they weren't police officers. -stop winding me up all right? can you talk? i'm on a stakeout, but go on i need information on some people who came to the office -i just have a numberplate. ba-569-kz you know this is breaking the law?

no, that's why we're tailing him either you stop him or you come back -what do we do? back down ok, no problem berthaud, new strategy. it's time to kick the ant hill -didn't escoffier tell you? çetin moves the guns but we don't know how he does it so we arrest all illegal aliens working for him one will talk if we offer him papers -they won't talk yilmaz preferred to kill himself you're starting to piss me off, berthaud! shit! shit! -tomorrow morning, we bring in the kurds if you don't like it, i'll use another team i'm taking your cars. keys i've had it with him! -it's like he was born to wind me up fucking hell trowing a tantrum about it won't help is that what i'm doing? throwing a tantrum? -sort of. and you might have lost us the case me? can you leave, please? you need to stop licking herville's arse -i'm just trying to see his side and he has a point the longer we wait, the more we risk losing the guns so i'm off the case. should i be grateful? -no, you just say nothing, and move on like me i don't know why you're doing this but your attitude is shit you're letting us down are you out of your mind? president -you released yvan raulic, a habitual offender? you know we have zero tolerance for sex offenders raulic is not a sex offender then what is he? he's a habitual burglar who was used as a scapegoat -it was a disgrace to the justice system so i ended it do you want another outreaux? certainly not the press will lynch us i can explain it to them, teach them a thing or two -don't you dare are you worried i'll explain garnier's methods? doctoring assessments, creating a false culprit..? this isn't a western, roban they're upstairs -vanderberg gets to la défense to sign the contract at 3:00 the tower has pedestrian access he has to cross a 20m walkway to reach the doors that's where we grab him before he enters the tower let's hope he doesn't struggle -what if he does? then too bad tor him what are you doing here? were you waiting? i've just arrived -ask sophie if you don't believe me special branch know all about the greek they want information so give me something good because i can't say he's selling olive oil ok, yannis -joséphine karlsson, a lawyer friend she says the police know you're here they think yannis killed a police officer in greece i know, he was let out after a procedural error procedural error? -in custody, they smashed his leg with a metal bar to make him talk the bastards filmed themselves doing it i suppose he was released because the video was leaked online? tell them i'm here to write a book with thomas now get out -you have to take the case, your honour i'm in their bad books i'm not sure they'd let me oversee a case like that i presume it's not just the guns you want? no, we want the whole network -at least, i do. my boss just wants results any results will do, as long as it's now does your boss know how you work? not really, no -i want you to take the case because we're in trouble he won't like it even if i am given the case if he wants you off it, i'll have trouble defending you you could always make me look good and gloss over your habit of acting before you think? -never mind as soon as you take the case, i'm sure it'll work out laure leave it to me show some humility for once -keep a low profile pierre i meant to call you about that number plate are you in trouble? no, why? -the car belongs to special branch special branch? were they at your office? should i find out? no, don't worry. -it was for a friend for your partner? pierre, what are you doing with her? she'll get you into trouble. you'll... -i'm in love with her it might sound stupid, but i am i'm sorry i take that back. forgive me -i'm not judging you you're a terrible liar thanks hello, madam thank you -i like these new chairs don't you, sylvie? please, mr jorkal mrs bardes you state that your husband had a meeting on 17th march with mr jorkal in a car park outside paris how do you know this? -my husband called jorkal to say he was running late the communication lasted for two minutes on 17th march at 11:35am then tony went for his meeting and disappeared at 1:20pm, mr bardes' mobile phone stopped transmitting since that date, the victim's phone has not been switched on -your honour, why would my client want to harm mr bardes? they were partners in a night club when jorkal sold up a lot of the money went off the books without my husband knowing they split the official amount but my husband soon realised he'd been tricked so he demanded his share -his real share jorkal arranged a meeting and killed him your honour, the phone bills only prove one thing which is that bardes kept calling me he was harassing me i didn't care about him -i think he's gone into hiding to make me seem guilty my client raises an interesting point is there evidence of bardes' death, besides his wife's allegations? no, but mr jorkal has been linked to missing persons before i have a few things to say about my ex-partner, too -what are you insinuating, mr jorkal? i have a file of bardes activities that the law might like to see tell tony to stop playing dead because i could put him in jail for 20 years sir, your client is threatening a witness my lawyer has the file. -i'm no informer but if she doesn't retract her lies, mr clément will send it to you that's not true. my husband is dead you never mentioned that file -look in the documents my wife gave you it's all on a dvd labelled "bardes" are you looking through my stuff? i was checking this blank dvd. i thought it was my computer -are you ok? how was your day? exhausting. i didn't stop once you? -fine. i learned a lot really? like what? just stuff -things you already know, but i'm new. i'm still learning what am i to you? what am i? your lover, your colleague, your friend..? -what? don't ruin this, joséphine i spoke with the president he assured me that you'll be in charge of the gun running case thank you -but with raulic, we should keep our cards close the chancellor has been called to the assembly to explain it's causing a stir i expected that you know, by bringing garnier's shortcomings to light you've managed to turn the entire system against you -i can't keep quiet, prosecutor i wish i could, but i never take exceptions i just can't superintendent prosecutor -superintendent it seems i'm dealing with the erkan yilmaz case that's news to me, your honour shall we? i'm all yours -goodbye, your honour, superintendent... i've looked the case over, and i was very impressed with how quickly you discovered the guns astonishing thank you and you'll bring them in soon? -that's my plan if only we could trace it back to the source but it's too risky if they suspect they're being watched, you'll lose everything my thoughts exactly, your honour will inspector berthaud be in charge? -i don't know to be honest, i don't appreciate berthaud's attitude it's true, she's unbearable on the other hand, she has the nose of a bloodhound and absolute authority i've seen her on other cases -she's absolutely astonishing it's just a pity she's so unpleasant yes, it's a shame right berthaud you'll be bringing in the kurds -thanks, sir a car might be useful thank you so, tomorrow, we strike in three places... umit çetin's home, the building site and the soliman -we'll have an armed response team for backup serge, ask the tax office to send someone to witness the illegal work if we want the workers to squeal on çetin, we have to be nice to them i need you all in good shape are you coming to tintin's? -yeah your bloke lets you go out? i'll call him and say it's a work night need a lift? yeah -i won't be long see you down there gilou? what? i'm coming -meet us there. i'm going with vincent all right if you'd told me about those guns i wouldn't have looked like a dick at the meeting you don't like that -what? looking like a dick no... forget lenoir and herville. they're just puppets -but i don't want any politics between us do you understand? you're still wearing your tie? i'm a new guest, so i'm wearing a tie tintin's not the minister, you know? -you really didn't have to and maybe we can skip the hospital visit next time don't, sweetheart these are nice so you can run faster and dodge the ballets -are these the shorts to match? just open it everyone's signed it laure's mate herville is on there, too he knows who i am? -"it's just a scratch" don't take it too seriously it was amina's idea... stop it champagne? -if it's any comfort, statistically he's safe now aren't you ever scared? for her? yes, all the time amina, give me a hand with the barbecue -don't forget us... sarahoui sorry, i came to get something from the cellar i'll move it all out next weekend all right, girls. -champagne's here gilou? yeah, i'm coming here beretta 92, unregistered -numbers filed off. nice can i have my gun back? have you heard from that prick nabil? no -where are the bullets? chief no need let's go put your hands up. -hands up! where's your husband? your husband. where is he? stop talking turkish. -where is he? do you think i'm stupid? i saw you reading a french paper forget it. put your hands up -show me your hands! come out! come out slowly does it face the wall. -hands up hold still. give me your hand for fuck's sake... where are they? -we're with çetin. have you got them? the whole site's empty. they're not here we should have staked it out. -fucking herville... get to the soliman shit you're in custody for unreported employment, aiding illegal aliens, conspiracy and firearms possession, on the authority of judge roban you can't come into my home like this -i'm an honest worker really? then why were you hiding in the shower? because i'm foreign, and the police don't like foreigners yeah, right -do you recognise him? never seen him before that's strange because he was always at the soliman so? the soliman's a café. -i don't know every customer excuse me çetin only declares one employee but his credit balance is 150,000 euros and he's transferring large amounts you see that lady? she's from the tax office, and she's checking if you pay your labour rates -so you have one employee, but you're transferring lots of money do you think that's normal? i work. business is good that's not a crime -not a crime? mr clément? we're going up to your office. calmly i was going inside my office when i heard two shots -i turned around and saw the bike disappear around the corner do you remember any details? a face, the type of bike..? it happened so quickly. they were both wearing helmets -i think the bike was black did you know the victim? no, i'd never seen him before fabrice! can you wait one minute? -it was bardes i saw his photo in the judge's office did you tell the police? no. if i'm a witness, i lose the case -but i thought jorkal killed bardes jorkal knew he was alive he made bardes' wife believe he had a file on him in my office... the blank dvd bardes believed him, came to get it and got shot -they could have shot you, too i suppose jorkal likes me pierre, this man is dangerous. believe me, i've had similar clients pass him on to a colleague before you get in over your head -remember what we said when we started out? no dangerous clients, no problems with the police no pointless bother you can talk stop! jp! -tell us where the guns are, or we'll keep looking what guns? there are no guns here! i found some keys in his coat what are these keys for? -they're for here, for the site in clichy and my basement or a parking garage? so, which one's yours? which one? i've never been here -do you think we're stupid? we saw you here it doesn't matter. we have all day bingo -this is it. the chests were here under the calendar so where are the guns? what guns? give it a rest -i've seen the guns erkan took photos there were two chests full of guns have you hidden them? it seems likely -yeah? laure, we've found one of the chests thanks, serge bad news. they've found them -your honour, i was on my way to see you i already know bardes was shot outside your office. who would have thought it? jorkal will be happy -i was going to formally request his release i've already filled out the standard release request i'll submit it once the prosecutor returns the case file your client will be out by midday thank you, your honour -please, it's the law but it's not over yet jorkal committed instigated murder and i'll prove it my client has nothing to hide my dear pierre, what have you got yourself into? -if you leave him, he'll drag your reputation through the mud and if you don't, your life's in danger good luck so, note this down - two ak-47s an uzi, a mini-uzi, two more ak-47s four, five, six handguns and two magazines whose are these? whose are they? -they're not mine the problem is, this is only half of it we've searched the soliman and his flat and found nothing i know ok, call herville since he loves you so much -i'll deal with roban amina, call forensics and get going i'll make you a deal help me find the other chest and the judge will go easy on you there were two in the photo, weren't there? -and you moved the second one in a hire car yesterday rented in the name of of "yasmine azin", am i right? i've never seen these guns before someone else hid them here it's your garden, you knobhead your wife saw us search it. -if you won't talk, you'll go down take him away before i kill him you gave herville his first orgasm of the day i didn't know he was capable yeah? -what? i'm on my way is something wrong? no, no see you at the office -get in that's kind of you mr clément. but i'm waiting for my wife she's not coming i told her i'd fetch you -i warn you, if you're my driver... i'm not your driver then i don't know what you are. i don't need a lawyer you think this is the end of it? -you're only free because i kept quiet the judge wants to pin bardes' murder on you and if i suddenly remember what happened, you're in trouble if you're worried about the money you should know i always settle my debts i'm not worried -i'll take care of your business from now on 5,000 a month on top of my fees for the new bardes case very well though i must confess that i'm surprised i'm just getting started given the confusion surrounding my decision to release yvan raulic i feel i should explain an essential point -i have not released a sexual offender he's an innocent man but there was evidence against him i'm afraid not but judge garnier... -judge garnier skewed the inquiry and sent an innocent man to prison yvan raulic has an established alibi one victim denied it was him and the psychiatric expert admits that garnier put pressure on him to change his assessment what about the repercussions for you? that's all for today. thank you -did you come to watch my career's unstoppable decline? roban, the young woman who was raped... marie borel? yes, i'll call her marie borel has killed herself -escoffier inspector morel. i called you we found your calling card on the victim's body do i need slippers? -no, we've taken the prints do you know him? yeah. he's one of my informers how was he killed? -carl, can i? he was killed with this gun a beretta 92ff the number's scratched off excuse me we need to talk... -sarahoui extracted from bbc edited synced by celestialex hey. you think this could be him? i wasn't expecting scrooge mcduck. -well, we're about to find out. echo-1? that's us. you... the guy? not me. -i guess we all got the invite. anyone else waiting for the punch line? rich guy, college brat, geriatric and construction worker walk into a diner. some coffee for you, sir? voss, badoit or pellegrino. -pelle... pelle-what? uh, no hablo español. sparkling water. with the bubbles. -okay. i'm curious. i suspect the man who invited us here must be quite important. well, assuming it's a man. we've never met him. -or her. got no updates on the twitter account. hey, snap a pic while we wait. i don't want my face on some blog. why? -do you have something to hide? i like my privacy. come on. everybody say "bubbles." bubbles. -moneybags looks good on camera. preserved for posterity. wh-what is this? where did everyone go? isn't that odd? -hello? hello? the hell is going on? and why did we all get invited here? == sync, corrected by elderman == -not bad, kensi. not bad. better than your partner. speaking of which... deeks is running late. -he ate some bad sushi last night, so it made him sick. bad sushi? mm-hmm. what? you know we invented the "bad sushi" move, right? -which means we don't fall for the "bad sushi" move ever. okay. he went to vegas. he drove back last night. and he didn't invite you? -no, because i had plans. plans? plans? if you lie, we'll know. john hughes marathon with my mom. -wow. that you should have lied about. he must've taken that model. she's a fitness model, not a fashion model, which means she doesn't even model actual clothes. so what does she model? -energy drinks and fake tattoos. you actually think he took her? i'm, uh... i'm really sorry that i'm late. i just... -i had some bad sushi last night. i mean, it was so hard to get out of bed this morning. and why are you doing this? because they know. they know? -okay. the only way they could know is if a certain person who watched pretty in pink for the 98th time last night ratted her partner out. we agreed on the "bad sushi" move, partner. well, it turns out they invented the "bad sushi" move. that's right. -really? and, uh... wow, what is... what is this? sayoc. -stick grappling. yeah. close-quarter combat. oh, i see. so, what's the plan here? -you gonna go a little bruce lee on me, 'cause you do remember that i carry a... a weapon, right? the most common weapons are blunt objects. oh. sticks, pipes, bats. things like that. -oh, i see, i see. hey, hetty! aah! ha, ha! uh, uncle! -el tío! el tío! uncleway! uncleway! huh? -what'd you say? what'd you say? el tí... you dropping the pig latin on me? fun's over. -yeah, 'cause you know what? nothing says fun like getting choked out with a stick. four bodies pulled from the remains of the winer n' diner in pasadena. that place was closed last year. well, someone reopened it without telling the landlord. -safe to say there won't be any yelp reviews written in the near future. we pulled the photo of the dead men from the user's cloud account. it was taken before the diner was leveled by rzx plastic explosive. rigged by pros. controlled detonation. -all right, so who are these guys and who'd they piss off? well, it was an eclectic group. we have a millionaire, a college kid, a grandfather and a man licensed to drive a bulldozer. we're still searching for common enemies. all right. -let's start with connections. well, all four victims followed a twitter account linked to the office of naval intelligence. and that's what got them killed. computer logs show that each victim received an invitation to the diner from this particular account. so either the navy staged a twitter ambush or their account was hacked. -okay, is anybody else wondering why the office of naval intelligence is on twitter in the first place? operation: wide awake. it's an experimental project that uses social media to reach its participants. it's designed as a... strategy game. -naval intelligence was recruiting high-iq individuals to test the integrity of the project. why? that's the part we don't know. operation: wide awake is currently classified. -so all the victims were players? not merely players, mr. callen. they were the elite of the project. naval intelligence referred to them as group echo-1. the man behind the project has been authorized to brief you both. -we'll let you know what we find. thank you, gentlemen. i only just found out about the attack. i don't understand who'd want to do this. the group wasn't even supposed to know each other. -you don't have any idea who could access your twitter account to stage the ambush? your guess is as good as mine. despite all the protocols in place, we got hacked. tried to trace it, but hit a dead end. what is operation: -wide awake exactly? on the surface, wide awake looks like an online strategy game, but in fact, it's potentially the most advanced technology we have for predicting terrorist threats. think of all the different ways someone could attack this country. using wide awake could tell us which one it's most likely to be. -the pentagon already does that with threat matrix software. computers predict logical outcomes, agent callen, but we humans are not always logical. wide awake allows us to account for both. how? crowd sourcing. -the way thousands of people play this game enables us to predict the most likely course a small group or even a lone individual might choose in predicting a threat. so, what can you tell us about the players that died this morning? group echo-1 was my elite sample group. best of the best. the brightest individuals in the crowd tell us the most, but they're also the most difficult to find. -and without them? i'll have to start from scratch. it'll... set wide awake back years. people that gifted don't just turn up every day, but... but what? -there weren't... four members of the group. there were five. so one of them's still out there. it seems so. here's the details he filled out for wide awake. -mike hoffman. residential san pedro. kensi and deeks are closer. hoffman didn't show up at the diner. does that make him a target or a suspect, agent hanna? -so, uh, tell me. did the, uh, ride over here strike you as somewhat tense with long, uncomfortable silences? kind of like this? this about vegas? i had other things to do, okay? -non-deeks things. plus, i'm totally over vegas. you've never been to vegas. exactly. because i'm over it. -okay, technically, you can't be over a place you've never been to. doesn't matter. here's the deal. we're going together. you and me. -no. yeah. look at me. it's happening. no, it isn't. -vegas. vegas. all right, i get it. you're afraid you wouldn't be able to keep up with me in vegas. oh, i could keep up with you. -not even close. i'd bury you. okay, so prove it. me, you, vegas. okay. -you're on. bring it, beach boy. you know what they say. what, uh, happens in vegas... will leave you curled up in a little fetal position begging for mercy. -promise? so, hoffman lives on the third floor. outstanding arrest warrants-- check fraud, possession of counterfeit currency, misdemeanor assault. but, supposedly, he's got an iq higher than both of us? yeah. -ooh. watch it! probably a sale on skinny jeans someplace. what? 'cause she's a hipster. -she was emo. mmm. i will bet you eric's horn-rimmed glasses that that girl was a hipster. is there even a difference? yeah. -of course there's a difference-- they got the... the hair with the colors and the tight... i have no idea. is there a difference? you sound seriously uncool right now. whatever. -either way, she was a cutie. oh, my gosh, she looked like she was 15. no, i didn't mean that kind of cute. wait a minute, how do you know that she wasn't 18, huh? maybe... maybe she was just petite. -maybe your brain is petite. touché. kens? hey. the girl. -i got the apartment. yep. federal agent! stop! manic pixie dream girl? -slipped away. for now. you check that laptop? i'm going to have it bagged for eric, let him do the honors. so, we got no wallet, no i.d. -and obviously a hell of a struggle. that's fatal head trauma. bad fall would do it. right there. slammed his head on the edge of the coffee table. -or she could've slammed it for him. he's twice her size. if anything, she was in survival mode. running from the scene and leaving a trail of blood makes her look pretty guilty. we don't know anything about her. -exactly. you've been busy. yeah. this hoffman? no, sir. -this is hoffman. we're still waiting on the i.d. for the body. hoffman didn't get hit at the diner like the rest of them. maybe this guy was sent to finish the job. holster, no gun. -manic pixie dream girl must've taken it. she had a small backpack. "manic pixie dream girl"? i think her name is astrid. and she clearly knew hoffman. -yeah, eric? all right, still waiting for an i.d. on your body. hoffman's cell phone's been switched off. no signal, no trail. does hoffman have any family? -negative. everything we've got indicates he's a loner. speaking of social connections, i just got the results from a deeper round of profiling on the diner victims. this morning was the first time any of them met. -dr. mathers' story checks out. the group didn't know each other. so, besides operation: wide awake, the doctor was their only link. which means he could be a target, too. -send us any updates on hoffman and the girl. done. where did you go? i'm sorry, i don't recognize any of them. all of wide awake's communication was conducted online. -they were just names on a screen. which is why none of them met in person till this morning. who else knew about wide awake? the only people who ever saw the whole program were those skilled enough to play through every one of its levels: group echo-1. -and now the only ones with that knowledge are you and hoffman. yeah. there's someone else. i've been getting... help from a friend on the outside. -a pentagon analyst named george toretto. i wanted to see how it was doing against the best threat matrix in the world. so you asked him to compare your results against the pentagon's classified threat intelligence. you broke security protocols to beta-test your program. and in doing so, not only compromised your entire project but four innocent people were killed. -i never thought anyone would get hurt, agent callen. my research is designed to save lives. do you realize what's at stake? if wide awake goes operational, it will make our country a safer place. what did toretto tell you? -well, that's... the problem. he never gave me the results. we're going to increase security at this lab. if you contact toretto, the two of you will end up sharing a cell. am i in danger, agent hanna? -not if you stay put. i'll get eric to pull everything he can on this guy, toretto. stop. stop. you can't go in there with your bag. -we got to check it. hey! hey! stop that girl! stop that girl! -she came here for a reason. looks like wide awake isn't as big a secret as dr. mathers thinks. so, security team at the naval intelligence lab says astrid tried to slip through a metal detector and triggered the alarm. maybe the gun she stole off the dead guy was in her backpack. or maybe she's a girl who was never briefed on security protocol-- she saw the alarms, men trying to detain her, and she ran. -maybe. what else do we know about her? neighbors said they started seeing hoffman and astrid together a few months ago, but they kept to themselves. she had her own room in hoffman's apartment, but we found no personal items, just some clothes. sounds like a girl on the run. -okay, so why do you run to a military facility? looking for someone-- a friend, maybe? hey. hoffman's laptop. searched the e-mail archives, but the entire account's been wiped by a pro. -anything else on the computer? the most recent version of the wide awake gaming application. now we're talking. nell uploaded the file on dr. mathers' pentagon buddy, george toretto. -red flag in his bank accounts. $100,000 deposited five days ago. all cash, no paper trail. wide awake's technology predicts attacks on america before they happen. there's plenty of well-funded groups that would like to see it fail. -not to mention rogue governments. maybe someone's paying toretto to sabotage the program. this is the building. you got to be kidding me. that's our guy. -that's toretto. something must have tipped them off. he's a popular guy. going to crash. please don't. -not us. him. driver's dead. toretto? gone. -we i.d.'d the body found at hoffman's apartment. max naylor. he did time at folsom prison with the driver who was killed in the car crash. uh, he also has experience in demolitions, which explains the diner. both were guns for hire. -well, if someone hired them to sabotage wide awake, hoffman would be the next logical target. unless he was the one behind this. hoffman and dr. mathers are the only ones left who understand how this technology works. well, then mathers might want to step up the security at his lab. -it's already done. nell, confirm his location. on it. what about toretto? the $100k in his account had to come from somewhere. -well, toretto's got the financial connections; hoffman's got the insider knowledge. maybe they were partners. hoffman got greedy, took out a hit. doesn't explain the dead guy in hoffman's apartment. -maybe toretto tried to get to hoffman first. or the guy was there to kill astrid. she showed up at the naval intelligence lab, which means she knows something about wide awake. hoffman's cell phone was just switched on. i got the signal. -hoffman's at a bus stop on pico boulevard in west i.a. the signal means we can get remote access. does the phone have a front-facing camera? roger that. call it. -grab an image of the person that answers. got it. that's not hoffman. hello? she disconnected the call. -call her back. wait a minute, what's the plan here? i mean, what are you going to say to her? "if you're not killing everybody involved "in a top secret governmental program, -"maybe you can come over and watch pretty in pink, we can eat some oreos"? this might be the only chance we get, and i think i can get her to talk to me. why? because she's scared. you've found the girl. -yes. astrid is on the run and she knows about operation wide awake. we have a chance to talk to her. but mr. deeks believes your emotions are clouding your judgment. well, that's a little harsh, but... yeah. -call the girl, mr. beale. maybe she'll see in you what you see in her, miss blye. all right, i got astrid on a traffic cam at that intersection. hello? -hi, astrid. my name is kensi. i was at your apartment building today. i'm so sorry if i scared you. you didn't scare me. -well, i know you've had a hard time today. i thought you might like to talk. i don't. well, then maybe you need a friend? you don't really know me. -no, i don't, but i'd very much like to. why don't you start by telling me something about yourself. you're tracing this call. okay... let's start with me, then. -um... i'm single... and totally over vegas. i love pretty in pink and oreos. no one's trying to hurt me; they're trying to hurt mike. -and where is mike right now? he's enjoying the art of civilized bushwhacking. i have to go now. no, no... astrid... -phone's been turned off. no signal to track. by the time we get there, she'll be long gone. anyone understand what she was talking about? the "art of civilized bushwhacking" -is an old term for the game of poker. don't ask me how i know that. eric, pull up hoffman's finances. he's made seven withdrawals from the hollywood park casino atm in the past month. sounds like a guy with a gambling probleto me. -sounds like a motive. eric, bring up the security cameras at the hollywood park casino. maybe he's still there. done. thank you. -mr. deeks. hey, um... you knew that putting kensi on the phone with astrid was the right call. and you want to know how i knew that. if you don't think that i need to know, then... no, no, no. -after her father died, she, uh, ran away. she lived on the streets for almost a year. i didn't know that. and i, mr. deeks, didn't tell you. 'course not. -miss jones. with me. okay. but that's your seat. indeed. -okay, this is a test, right? you're looking to see my response? this is a chair, miss jones. sit in it. fair enough. -wow. yeah, it's, uh... it's really... oh, it's comfortable. i've been told that you have a very high iq. higher, in fact, than any other person currently employed by ncis. -well, it's just a number with a range of variables prone to cultural bias, so... prove it. you want me to play operation: wide awake? those four men at the diner were killed because of something they discovered with this program. -i need you to find out what that was. all right. ...texas hold 'em tournament this friday. players may register at the members' service desk or online. excuse me. -pardon me. pardon me. now, that's what i call two well-mannered young man. someone certainly taught them well. what a handsome couple they are. -where'd that brunette get those legs? just remember, boys, you got to know when to hold 'em. you've been singing that stupid song the entire ride over here. mmm, okay, it's not a stupid song. that's "the gambler" by kenny rogers, aka the silver fox. -ah, charlie rich was the silver fox. i'm pretty sure it was kenny rogers. it's charlie rich. any luck, eric? jackpot. -i got him at poker table number four. striped short-sleeved shirt. kensi, deeks... why don't you do your thing. first date? last date. -is this because i didn't take you to vegas? because we are in the casino now. mmm... that's why i need to upgrade. kensi? kensi? -my friend hates it when i gamble. life's a gamble. no. fern? fern. -what-what are you doing here? are you trying to make me jealous? see, he went to vegas, and he thinks that this is gonna make up for it. i'd never go anywhere without you. he's clearly playing way out of his league. -okay, you know what i love? i love it when people talk about me like i'm not standing right behind them. and the fish hooks take it. so... are you just lucky, or are you really, really good? i'm really, really good. -but, uh... i'm looking to get lucky. okay. you know what? i love... -i love a little butter with my cheese. i'm going to grab a soda. buy you a drink? yeah. shaggy won't stop bugging me if i stick around. -then maybe... we should leave. maybe we should. thank you, sir. genius-level iq, huh? -oh, crap. luck's run out, hoffman. i knew it was too good to be true. figured my chances were 50-50. just to be clear, -i am, uh, totally in your league. in your dreams. all the time, darling. all the time. what do you got, eric? -mathers is gone. gave his protective detail the slip. so, it was all an act? even that whole "are you lucky or just good" bit? act. -ah. well, i'm impressed. the four other people in echo-1 are dead. operation: wide awake. -yeah. never heard of it. hey, that's my laptop. wow, nothing gets by this one. mmm. -wide awake application's installed on the hard drive. why don't you play it for us? let's see what you got. well, if it doesn't involve... dice or cards, i'll probably need an instruction manual. preferably one with pictures. -okay, there is no way this is our fifth man. this looks like one of the games astrid likes to play. okay. who exactly is astrid? i, uh... -i don't know. i think she's my daughter. you think? she's different. she, uh, barely speaks. -she's really good at math. she spends hours on this computer. i took her to the casino a few weeks back and taught her how to gamble. astrid never loses. i mean, like... ever. -the art of civilized bushwhacking. yeah, that's what we call poker. hey, you... you talked to her? where is she? -we were hoping you could help us find that out. well, i was on an 18-hour streak at the casino when you found me. hey, i gave her my cell phone in case of an emergency. no, trust me, that girl knows how to take care of herself. she's okay, right? -mathers still hasn't gone back to his office. if astrid was using hoffman's laptop and e-mail, all of her wide awake activity would've looked like it was coming from him. dr. mathers would have had no way of knowing it was her. maybe this girl has some form of autism. asperger's syndrome. -that would explain a lot. well, we'd need a formal diagnosis to be sure, but astrid seems to fit the profile. social awkwardness, limited empathy, a savant's gift for numbers. yeah, but clearly high-functioning enough to defend herself and evade us. whoever wanted the rest of the team members dead still thinks that hoffman's the target, not astrid-- so as long as no one finds out, -astrid is safe. and only two people had access to hoffman's data: dr. mathers and toretto. eric, send us dr. mathers' home address. you two keep talking to hoffman. -if anyone can help us find astrid, it's him. okay. anyone add up all those outstanding warrants i've got? i did. i figure i'm looking at five years in prison. -that's if i'm lucky. well, i think we've pretty much established the only kind of luck that you have is bad. bad luck doesn't make you a bad guy. just a bad father. look, it all happened so fast. -i-i never had the chance to get the hang of it. and it's too late to start now. promise me that you'll make sure astrid is okay when i get locked up. we're not cutting any deals. i hope you don't feel -i'm putting pressure on you, miss jones. nope. nope, i'm fine. let me know when you're finished. mm-hmm. -i'm... still... still working, so... yeah, no, this is not going to happen. i'm... sorry. i... i thought i was doing something wrong, but this is not me. -this is program. when you reach the final level, the engine used to predict the threats completely falls apart, which means... operation: wide awake doesn't work. could it be that dr. mathers didn't know about this? -highly unlikely. wow. astrid-- how do we find her? i don't know. how could you not know? -she's your daughter? she just showed up on my doorstep a few months back. she told me her mom died and left her my address. i recognized her mom's name, but... we were just kids when her mom got pregnant. -i promised her we'd work something out, but... instead, i did a runner. not my finest moment. so when astrid told me who her mother was, i... i couldn't turn her away. -because you felt guilty? look, i don't even know for sure that she's my daughter. and i told astrid that. but she just... looked at me... with those big eyes. i mean, she just wore me down, you know? -what can i say? so, um... i gave her a room and i let her stay. did you ever take back what you said? about not being her father? -listen... this isn't about me trying to cut a deal here. i know i have nothing to offer you. my life has been one big gamble with no payoff. maybe astrid's the payoff. i blew that, too. -i know i might not be... the best person for astrid... but she still needs someone looking after her. i'm fine. i know. i'm just getting some water. looks like mathers is home. -or not. someone broke in. take the front. i'll cut him off from behind. federal agent! -don't move, toretto! you need to hear it twice? you won't shoot me. i'm the only one that can give you answers. no one's getting shot. -see? just relax. now, put it down. you try and get past him, you're going to wish i shot you. when i tell deeks about this, you better vouch for me. -you went bruce lee on his ass. i'll vouch for you. mathers is the one you want. what are you doing here? look, he's trying to kill me. -i came here to try and talk some sense into him. it's complicated. oh, yeah? wide awake doesn't work. neither one of you knew till mathers gave you his results to compare to the pentagon's intel. -he paid you $100,000 to keep quiet. mathers wanted the results to look successful. and you taking that hush money means you'd get charged with treason if people found out, which is why you didn't go public when bodies started turning up today. i wasn't the only one who knew wide awake was a failure. there was some guy in mathers' test group who actually e-mailed him, tried to call him out on it. -hoffman. yeah. mathers never heard from him again. he got worried others in the group would figure it out. so he lured them to the diner this morning. -i didn't think he was going to kill them. i thought he was going to try to buy them off. and then that guy came after me. where's mathers now? i don't know. -so, callen and sam have toretto. looks like mathers offed his own test group. good thing we just found him, then. my lovely assistant will take it from here. assistant? -uh, colleague. they can be lovely, too. mathers' cell's online. he just received a call from hoffman's phone. their call lasted 30 seconds; -hoffman's phone went dark immediately afterwards, but mathers is still online. he's headed for the casino. that's hoffman's stomping ground. okay, it stands to reason astrid would go there looking for her father, but why reach out to mathers? well, if she called him, then mathers probably realized he's been hunting for the wrong person. -if that's true, once he finds astrid, he's going to kill her. astrid's too smart to let mathers find her like this. she couldn't get him at his lab, so she led him here. if astrid still has the gun, i think she might use it. to protect herself? -to protect her dad. we got eyes on mathers. he's on the west side of the floor. looks like he's headed towards the kitchen. moving in. -mathers! he's got a weapon! mathers, drop your weapon. drop it. you got this? -yeah, i got this. astrid? i told you, i don't have friends. told you i wanted to be the first. prove it. -that's kind of hard right now, don't you think? then you're not really my friend. okay. astrid, tell me what you want me to do. you tell me. -leave me alone so i can shoot him. i know you're trying to protect your dad, but... i can't do that. i'm sorry. this is not something that you want to hear right now... but i will do everything in my power to stop you. -do you hear me? this is what friendship looks like, isn't it? yeah. it is. please hand me the gun. -please hand me the gun. you really like pretty in pink and oreos, or were you just saying that? i do like them. it's weird. okay. -hey, what do you say we get out of here? what's up, man? hey. anybody seen, uh, hetty? nope. -haven't seen her. writing off your losses in vegas as business expenses? what? no. what do you take me for? -a guy who sneaks off to vegas for phantom of the opera and has a secret love for musical theater. we always know where our teammates are, deeks. always. phantom of the what? opera. -i wouldn't know, see, 'cause i'm not into musical theater. nothing wrong with a good musical, deeks. fair enough. you got me. just do me a favor... -oh, we won't tell kensi. how's astrid? the doctor diagnosed her with asperger's syndrome. says she can look after herself with a little bit of help. well, hoffman's facing jail time, so the girl's on her own for now. -and she's a smart girl. i'm sure she'll figure it out. oh, and just for the record, i also went and saw andrew dice clay just to even it out. -yeah, right. okay, two, please. so, tell me about your mom. she's dead. i know. -what was she like, though? okay. let's start with me. you can ask me anything you like. are you in love with your partner? -how old are you? 18 years, three months, 12 days, six hours and 32 seconds. 33. 34... your dad was happy to see you. -mike was happy, but he was sad, too. he tried to hide it from me, but i could tell. why do you call him mike if he's your dad? that's his name. are you sure he's your dad? -yes. my mom told me that. but how do you know it's true? are you sure that the man that you call dad is your real dad, kensi? yeah. -how do you know that it's true? point taken. win the next hand... and i will answer any question that you ask me. i'm not going to win the next hand. or any hand after that, for that matter. -i do really want to know more about you, though, astrid. i guess you'll have to keep me around, then. my name's hetty lange. == sync, corrected by elderman == -you feeling lucky? but i can't be sick. tomorrow's thanksgiving. and if you were a butterball turkey, you would be done right now. you know what? -if i sit in the kitchen while you're cooking, i can just sweat it out. you're a trooper, but i don't think you should push yourself. we'll have a wonderful thanksgiving next year. i got to wait a whole year for turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie? see how sick you are? -you didn't even mention mashed potatoes or the cranberry sauce. damn this fever. you rest. i'm gonna go break the news to mom and victoria. tell 'em i'm sorry. -they'll be disappointed, but they'll understand. and gravy. how could i forget the gravy? this might be malaria. well, if it is malaria, you should stop talking. -well, how is he? he's sick as a dog. so we don't have to cook? we don't have to do nothing. he can't even get down a piece of toast. -it's a miracle. it's a holiday miracle. mike: what's going on out there? no, molly, i understand. -why chum the water when the shark is sick? yeah. yeah, i'll tell samuel. yeah, and if you can't get him to take his aspirin, hide it in a cheese cube. yeah, that's how i get him to take his beano. -okay. bye. mike is sick on thanksgiving. i can't even imagine how this is going to affect the economy. well, you don't need to check the papers to know that pumpkin pie futures are gonna be way down. -now, is he really sick, or is this like the day after the all-you-can-eat hot wing incident? uh-uh. no, when he can't get out of bed for a thanksgiving meal, he's down for the count. even after the three dozen hot wings, he still came to work. the smell of tabasco oozing from his pores. -and the mournful cries from the bathroom of, "it burns! oh, god, it burns"" well, i'm surprised he's not sick all the time. man never washes his hands yeah, our cook is exactly the same way. and he's a picker. -picks what? you name it. if he can reach it, he picks it. anyway, what are we doing for thanksgiving now? well, we're certainly not gonna eat here. -hey, there's a singles potluck at my church. good home-cooked meal, plenty of available women. you're not suggesting we hit on women in a house of worship, are you? some of the nastiest women i've ever met has been at church. the first bare boob i ever saw was a deacon's daughter. -really? oh, she was a freak, too. said i could touch it for five dollars. three of which was supposed to go to unicef. i am intrigued. -and yet i worry that without the benefits of alcohol and loud techno music, a spotlight will be shown on the fact that i'm a horny, penniless waiter. no, no, no. no, no. no, what you are is a mysterious, exotic immigrant looking to make good in the land of opportunity. and all i need is the love of a good christian woman who truly understands that the meek shall inherit the earth. -and the last shall be first. they don't call it the sermon on the mount for nothing. so are we talking full dashiki and no speakee-dee english? mm-hmm. yeah, but luckily, your charitable american benefactor will be there to translate. -you much good friend to samuel, mr. carl. one world, one love, my brother. (laughter) just take a couple more bites. -it's chicken soup. it's good for you. it's chicken and noodles. i like chicken and stars. sweetie, it's-it's the same thing. -no, it's not. stars are chewy, and noodles are slurpy. well, why don't you just chew the noodles into little stars? hey, doll, great news. my brother's in town, and he's coming over for thanksgiving. -oh, i hope he likes chinese food. we're not cooking this year. what are you talking about? well, with the eating machine on the fritz, it's every man for himself. but i promised frankie a big, home-cooked meal. -even went out and got his favorite wine. oh. red. that's my favorite, too. molly: -"i don't like noodles. i like stars." i'll show you stars right in your noodle. what's all this about turkey day getting canceled? mike's sick as a dog. -i'm not gonna go to all the trouble for nothing. kind of a big decision to make without calling a family meeting, don't you think? we actually don't have family meetings, which is one of the main reasons you're still here. joyce, i promised my brother an old-fashioned thanksgiving with my loving wife and my loving family. wife? -you know what i mean. wife-to-be. we're practically married. practically nothing. it's been over a year since you stuck this fake rock on my hand, and i haven't heard a peep about an actual wedding date. -oh, i see. you're trying to use this as blackmail to get me to marry you. very nice. blackmail you? ugh! -i'm sorry, i-i was under the impression you wanted to marry me. what i want you to do is stick a fistful of bread up a turkey's ass and toss it in the oven. well, hand me a loaf of rye bread and bend over. all right, don't sneeze on me, cough on me or fart on my leg. molly? -no, your wife called first dibs on the couch, and since joyce won't let me in our bed, i have to bunk with patient zero. are those your feet under my legs? you mind? they're ice cold, and your calves are like a fire pit. -actually, the cold's kind of nice. what's the big deal about a piece of paper? she knows i love her. what more does she want? will you hand me my water? -absolutely. wow. like leaning over a 300-pound microwaved burrito. thirsty. yeah, yeah, sit up a little. -don't drink too much, 'cause i'm not gonna give you a piggyback ride to the can. i love bendy straws. yeah, women have to complicate everything. you ever notice the only time they're happy is when they're making you miserable? crazy straws are fun, too. -do they still make those? men don't like all that drama. we're simple folk. you know, sometimes i think gay guys really got it made. okay, move your feet. -i'm just saying, with women, a guy'word isn't enoug remember when i promised you tickets to the bears game? yeah, i do. and did i make good on that promise? no, you did not. and yet, here we are, snuggled up like two bugs in a rug. -my life would be so much easier if i liked to drive stick. i think i'm gonna throw up. hey, whoa, it's not like you're my type, either. plus, you could do a lot worse than me. no, i really think i'm gonna throw up. -oh, all right. i'll get you a bucket and some ice chips. i'm just saying, your wife's downstairs, and i'm up here taking care of you. don't tell me i'm not a catch. i really hope this is a fever dream. -(pots clattering) what the hell? (clattering) damn it! who organized this kitchen? -jose feliciano? molly: vince, what are you doing? it's 6:00 in the morning. 6:00? -! i got to get my birds in the oven. birds? they were all out of turkeys, so i got nine cornish hens and two chicken fryers. how many ladies leaping? -apparently none. i'm cooking this whole thing by myself. hey, you can't blame mom for being mad at you, vince. you've dragged this engagement out a long time. hey, i want to marry her. -i just need to wait for the right time. yeah, and when is that? when i'm not dead-ass broke. what are you talking about... broke? -i thought your airline pillow business was "raking in the do-re-mi." i got knocked out by the giant conglomerates. turns out big-little pillow totally smothers little-little pillow. so you didn't have any savings or anything? -that got pretty well chewed through when my first wife got sick. between the hospital bills and home care, i was tapped out. oh. i didn't know that. bunny hated hospitals. -it was better for her to be home so i could be with her. yeah. well, have you... have you told mom this? no. -i don't want her to think she's engaged to some deadbeat. besides, i'm gonna turn it around, and i'll be able to take care of her in the fashion she deserves. so, uh, how much stuffing can you get into one of these cornish game hens? i pack it in those tiny rumps till they say uncle. (laughs) -don't just mash 'em; you got to whip 'em so they're light and fluffy. put your rotator cuff into it. vince, give me a break. i know how to mash potatoes. -if you say so, but i'm looking at some pretty sizeable lumps. yeah, and i'm talking to one. if you want to do the potatoes, be my guest. i'm in charge of the birds and the pasta. you're in charge of all the side dishes and keeping the liquor flowing. -oh, okay, i can handle that. hey, i was letting that breathe! which is what i'm doing to you thanks to this wine. they were all out of black olives, so i got green ones and soy sauce. i figured we can dye them like easter eggs. -her volunteering to help is kind of a mixed blessing, isn't it? (quietly): that's why i sent her on an errand. she usually gets lost. (piano playing gentle melody) -(indistinct chatter) crowd's a little bit older than i expected. yes, i'm guessing several of these people were actually at the first thanksgiving. this is probably just the early birds. you know, -i'm guessing the younger crowd's gonna filter in a little bit later. oh, good, just in time to help us load the wheelchairs into the vans. you know, when i heard it was a singles thing, i figured it was because they hadn't found a husband, not because they'd buried one. at least one. -it's like walking into the "thriller" video. i'm gonna wa you boys off the stuffing. miss minerva's half-blind, and those pecans could be anything from dog treats to kidney medication. grandma, where's all the young people? everybody here is in the triple digits. -i should've known you weren't here for good christian fellowship when you showed up with kunta kinte. this is actually traditional senegalese formal wear. well, then i got a shower curtain you can wear to prom. you boys need to get out of here if you're just trying to knock some precious lamb off of her righteous path. ain't no lambs here. -just old goats and mules. listen, instead of just standing around thinking nasty thoughts, why don't you top off some sweet teas or get these folks some pie. okay, grandma. and when you take 'em pie, u might want to hold a mirror under their noses. don't just set it on their laps and walk away. -i worked hard on those pies. great. so on my one day off, i have to serve people food. thank you, carl. -knock, knock. did you bring me some 7up? no, i'm looking for a pair of earrings i loaned molly. would you mind bringing me some 7up? sure! -why don't i wait on you hand and foot, let you have sex with me every night, anthen when it comes time to marry me, you back out? if we don't have 7up, ginger ale's fine. vince and i have been engaged for over a year. why can't you men commit? and put a bendy straw in it. -i love bendy straws. you know, i am not gonna twist anybody's arm to get him to marry me. i am a vibrant, sexy woman. i can have any man i want. you know, i think i could hold down a couple of saltines, if you're headed to the kitchen. -i think maybe it's time to light a fire under mr. moranto's hairy ass. crackers! 7up! anything! you ladies did a wonderful job. -i really appreciate it. aw. now, get out of thosrags and put on something nice. my brother will be here any minute. (doorbell rings) -well, at least i'll look good. vinny! give me a hug, you bald-headed bastard. francis, welcome to my humble abode. (chuckles) -what are you doing out here in the sticks? there isn't a decent cannoli for at least three miles. you don't consult a map when you follow your heart, francis. allow me to introduce you to my precious family. hi. -i'm molly. vince: that's my oldest. she's a teacher, a shaper of young minds. little opinionated, but the good with the bad. -okay, thank you, vince. nice to meet you. yeah, it's a pleasure. what's the story with this one? i'm victoria, vince's baby girl. -i'm your uncle frankie. i upgraded to a lexus at the airport if you want to go out for ice cream after dinner. okay, you're one of those uncle frankies. come on, why don't you help me in the kitchen? what happened? -you did nothing wrong. was that the doorbell? you must be francis. well, i can see who got the looks in the family. frankie, this is joyce. -she's my... no, just jce. he's been threatening to marry me for over a year, but i'm not holding my breath. if you did, you'd pop out of that dress. oh. (laughs) -clever. can i get you a drink? i got you a whole case of that new zealand malbec you like. i've actually matured into the heady, tuscan varietals. i have an adventurous palate. -i can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue. mike: is the turkey done yet? oh, yeah. we got one we keep in the attic. -every family does. in our family, it was him. (laughter) (both sighing) (piano plays intro to "smoke gets in your eyes") -mine has more of a medicinal smell, but it, too, is oddly comforting. if you got something to say, this is my good ear. (loudly): he said you smell nice. shut up, man. -these old guys are already starting to give us the stink eye. yeah. start throwing aarp cards like ninja stars. yeah, if i'm going to get my ass kicked, i'd rather it weren't by a prosthetic leg. -what do you say we get out of here? this place is dead. it will be soon. i got a jug of sangria and a box of dominoes at my place. ooh, we can watch football and have leftover cobbler. -we'll meet you out at the van. are we really going to do this? just cobbler and football. perhaps they're expecting more. well, whatever happens at the assisted living facility stays at the assisted living facility. -this doesn't look like a thanksgiving dinner. it's like a drive-by at a chicken coop. we got to get some food in your mom before she takes her top off and starts giving my brother dollar lap dances. vince, she's just trying to upset you. why don't you go in there and just tell her the truth? -hey, i might be flat broke and living rent-free with you people, but i got my pride. she's a loyal woman. besides, if she hasn't found a reason to dump you yet, you're probably in the clear. huh? what did i tell you? -is that a knot, or is that a knot? very impressive. and that's just one of the things i can do with my tongue. is your shoe tied? all right, joyce, reel it in. -frankie, back off. hey, i'm not doing anything. although i'm guessing i could if i wanted to. try it, and the turkey won't be the only thing getting carved tonight. what turkey? -it looks like you ran over a family of baby ducks. hey, until you make an honest woman of me, i'm a free agent. mom, vince has something to tell you. no, i don't! yes, you do. -mike: do i smell turkey? stay in bed! vince! i'm broke, okay? -i don't have two nickels to rub together. that's it? that's the reason you haven't married me yet? i want to be able to take care of you. give you the nice things you deserve. -i don't care about any of that. for better or for worse, you big dope. doesn't that mean anything? but i can't shower you with diamonds and furs. i had to hock my watch to pay for those chickens. -i don't need any of that stuff. all i want is you. i love you, joyce. you're a hell of a broad. i'm up. -it's a miracle. i got my appetite back. i think bobo chewed through his chain. man: by the power vested in me by the state of illinois, -i now pronounce you husband and wife. mmm. i love you, vin. i love you, too, red. and i promise, as soon as i get back on my feet, -i'll give you a proper wedding. you already did. and now i'm gonna give you an improper honeymoon. ah, here you go, baby brother. just a little something to give you two young people a fresh start. -you soft-hearted son of a bitch. i don't know what to say. may i kiss the bride? no. do they have a cafeteria here? -maybe they got turkey pot pies. thanksgiving is over, mike. turkey jerky. a pigeon. anything. -shh. oh, magoo, you've done it again. way too early, dex. you went fishing again last night, didn't you? caught two. -didn't throw them back, either. i'm glad you got to play tony stark, mr. secret agent man. but i'm freaking out here. seattle's breathing down my neck. don't have a seizure, dex. -you know how big our bonus is if this game does modern warfare 3 numbers? big enough to settle my lawsuit and still be filthy stinking rich. those cigars will kill you, man. that's part of the fun. later, dex. -== sync, corrected by elderman == huh? look at all those center mass hits. nine, nine, nine. i should change my name to herman cain. -yeah? i think it's more like pee wee herman. read 'em... and weep. you know what? these targets are culturally biased. -against what, surfers? i'm serious, all right? 'cause that is not a fair assessment of my skills. i am much better when i'm on the move and the target is talking smack and firing back at me. you still owe me dinner, crustacean, 8:00 p.m. -no sneakers, no jeans, and wear a jacket. forget the garlic noodles. when am i getting my album back? it's a great record, man; it's irreplaceable. then why don't you just place it in my hands? -sam let deeks borrow an album from his vinyl collection? isaac hayes' hot buttered soul. deeks has been on a '70s kick ever since he rented shaft from netflix. not a good idea. what, the samuel jackson remake? -borrowing anything from sam. here's the deal. i'm just gonna say it. my dog ate it. he what? -monty. your dog? but don't worry, because i have something much, much better. bam! you know what that is right there? -that is every song that isaac hayes ever recorded in the palm of your hand-- that's what that is. check it. deeks, let me explain something to you. you cannot experience the genius of "walk on by" on an mp3. he made burt bacharach sound funky. -do you know how hard that is? sam... vinyl has a much fuller sound; it has character. it's a living, breathing thing. -it's... got to wait. hetty wants you guys up in ops asap. aah. you're a better liar than that, deeks. -i want my album back. mmm. damn it. nice try. thanks. -at 8:15 this morning, victor potter was killed by an explosion on the balcony of his malibu beach house. the security cam footage is from an adjacent house. potter was cia. why do they need us? -it's hetty's call. roll it back. sam, did you see that-- the flare? exploding cigar? exploding lighter. -well, exploding cigar would've been cooler. you know, bugs bunny, yosemite sam. i like yosemite sam. don't implicate him in this. was potter working on something? -is this blowback? hetty's source confirmed he retired from the agency three years ago. since then, he's made millions consulting hotshot movie directors and video game companies about his time with the agency. wait, so black bag was his game? that game is sweet. -his espionage cv reads like a fodor's guide to the war on terror. what was his specialty? precision explosives. somebody's probably trying to send a message. you think? -let's check out potter's place. if this was hetty's decision, why didn't she brief us? she's stuck on the phone. huh. here's all i'm saying. -with guns, you're all about the newest and the latest, but not with music. it's like this whole itunes revolution has completely passed you by. that's the point. vinyl makes you sit down and listen. savor the experience, you know? -see, that's-that's deep. i always thought that you smelled like sweat and gunpowder, but really, that's patchouli, 'cause you, my friend, are a hippie. okay. we've just begun our investigation, owen. i understand that, but it's not necessary. -potter's murder is troubling, i agree. i'll find that out momentarily, as soon as he calls me back. just received the briefing on victor potter. very good, mr. callen. now, if you'll excuse me. -she blew me off. i ignore you all the time; it never bothered you before. something's up. something's always up with hetty. -come on, let's go. i know that look. that's the "what's hetty not telling me that i'm dying to know" look. don't try to figure it out. many have tried and failed. -that's actually not what i'm thinking. i just never realized that you were a yosemite sam apologist. yosemite sam is highly misunderstood. there's a lot of heart behind that fiery temper. well, i just had you pegged as more of a hanna-barbera guy. -ah, hanna. barbera. like i haven't been hearing that every year since third grade. oh, you were picked on as a kid? not since i started doing push-ups. -what's your favorite cartoon? let me guess. g-force. hong kong phooey. he was a genius at undercover work. -underdog beats him every time. he had a better theme song. plus he could fly. underdog would kick hong kong phooey's ass. what a view, huh? -potter's got a life like james bond, got a pad like scarface, and now he's deader than disco. i guess it's true-- you can't take it with you. ammonium nitrate, probably-- maybe a smidgen of c-4. what'd you find? two champagne flutes, two different shades of lipstick. -he had company. computer's got a firewall. we're gonna need eric to crack it. i wonder what got him more action, the view or these pictures? "nah, forget about -"seal team six, baby-- i'm the one that told my friend barack about abbottabad." i guess your poses with justin bieber and snooki don't quite have the same sex appeal. you'd be surprised. even if that laptop has a firewall, this tablet may be more useful. damn. -sam! i'm married, not dead. wait a minute. i-i know that girl. yeah, sure you do. -i do. i know her. her name is... natalie. no, no. -nicole. nicole. her name is nicole. how exactly do you know her? names come and go, but you never forget -a pretty face like that. yeah, i'm pretty sure that wasn't her face you were looking at. i'm serious. she works at seven star oasis. and what's that, a cruise line? -they may take you on a trip around the world, but no, seven star oasis is one of i.a.'s most elite escort services. that right there is one very expensive call girl. damn. uh... strong firewall. so, what are we talking, hours? -for langley, maybe. for me, seconds. potter's sign-in is "napoleon solo." that the guy from mission: impossible? -the man from u.n.c.l.e. you know i like old tv shows. yeah, i know that. you also collect vintage muscle cars and you listen to vinyl records. your point being? -it's just an observation. what's he trying to tell me? that you're a geek. i am not a geek. you don't see me collecting lunch boxes and action figures. -nothing wrong with being a geek, sam. i am not a geek. okay. you owe me a dollar, swear jar-- you said "damn." we have a swear jar? -since when? how do you think hetty affords all of her tea? she never said anything. no. -she just takes it out of your paycheck. damn. um... where is hetty, by the way? i haven't seen her. -you get any hits on the women from potter's tablet? i ran their faces as soon as you e-mailed the video over from potter's house. nothing. they're probably here illegally. okay, focus, boys. -so, why did kensi and deeks have to break in? wouldn't it be easier just to ask seven star oasis for a list of their clients and employees? you never know who's gonna be on the client list. ballplayers, politicians... it would be like bill belichick giving you his super bowl playbook. -but... you wouldn't need belichick's playbook. not if you videotaped the team's walk-through before the game. eric gave me this dvd: 46 years of football highlights. i... finally watched it, and i'm kind of obsessed. -j-e-t-s! jets! jets! jets! i'm a pats fan, so i'm gonna pay you now, before i curse. -thank you. patriots. so, you know this girl? wha...? no. -i never said that i know her know her. i mean, not biblically, at least. it was an undercover vice operation back in the day, and i was always a professional. and you played the pathetic john? no, no, no. -i was a player. yeah, zegna suit, rolex. seven star oasis is all about the high rollers. and they believed you? all you got to do is be confident and look the part. -yeah? all right. what are you doing? i look the part? absolutely. -you look the... you look the part. is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult? as a professional-- i mean a pro... not-not a pro-pro. -i just meant like as-as an agent... i'm gonna stop talking. listen, they're gonna want to probably get a little frisky in the back room, 'cause they want to sample the goods, so be careful. yeah, i can handle any man that gets fresh with me. okay. -you know that. yeah. good luck there, shnookums. may i help you? yes. -my name is paola. paula? do you have an appointment? no. well, you can sit over there with everyone else... sweetie. -yes. i understand. paula? go right in. i could always pick a winner. -that's my gift. and when i see you, that's what i see. a thoroughbred. please don't call me a horse. okay? -i'm not an animal. oh, no, no, no, baby. that's not what i mean. i mean, when i see you, i see someone smart and fast and a go-getter. -you don't need any of that stuff. you're the total package. you don't need a short skirt or heels. i'm wendy. paola. -what's your real name, darling? it's kathy. wow. that thing with the accent's impressive. well, southern is out. -exotic is in. ooh. a pretty little thing like you-- i bet you had to chase all those little boys off, huh? yeah, well, after my stepdaddy, everyone else was kind of easy. -you're not gonna have that problem working for me. darling, i assure you. because no one's ever gonna touch you unless you say so. all right. okay. -once we match the photos from potter's tablet with the seven star oasis database, we'll be in business. how long, eric? uh, five more seconds. we keep lonely rich men company. that's it. -nothing happens that you don't want to happen. we protect our employees. a lot of people love working here. and a lot of people have become famous. come on. -deeks is exposed. we need to get them out of there. verifying now. what do you want to do? do you want to sing, act? -are you serious? i could make that happen. really? yeah. all you have to do is, um, let me help you. -can i do that? we got it, guys. get out of there. hmm? you can't help me. -oh, yes. not now. and not ever. hey, i'm gonna need a shower, and i'm going to kill you. she liked you. -i could tell. yeah, you could have warned me, deeks. thanks. you said you could handle any man. didn't think a woman was gonna throw you off your game. -hey, listen to me. aah! i am going to tell sam that you sat on his isaac hayes record and broke it, and monty had nothing to do with it. you wouldn't do that. would you? -hope i don't throw you off your game. that is not cool. so you finally watched that football dvd i gave you? yup. and you were going to tell me this when? -what? so i like football. big deal. just something else we have in common. so, the giants... -are boring. you're talking about the franchise of ya tittle. bill parcells. lawrence taylor. the 1958 greatest game ever played that launched the modern nfl. -giants lost that game to the colts. okay. so you prefer flash over substance. broadway lights and pretty-boy quarterbacks. in this case, i think do. -joe willie namath had swagger. ooh. i have to go find hetty. just got a message for her. i got swagger. -do you have a question, mr. callen? what's in the box? the past. securely locked away. excuse me? -hetty, assistant director granger needs you. it's urgent. thank you. you'll excuse me, mr. callen? -so, we've i.d.'d the women who spent the night with victor potter before he was killed. i want you to keep an eye on hetty for me, nell. you want me to track hetty? i just need to know where she is. okay, the last ncis employee to spy on hetty now has a permanent lisp. -be discrete. if you get caught, there's always speech therapy. ha. yeah, that's not going to help me. well, at least we'll understand what you're saying. -where's your uniform, hong kong phooey? where's your theme music, underdog? federal agents! we've got a body. clear. -clear. this one's still breathing. sam. eric, we're at nicole burns' house. call rescue. -got it. two minutes later, she'd be as dead as her friend. she owes you her life. what did you give her? naloxone. -she'll have a headache like a freight train, but... she'll be coherent. thank you. this wasn't an accident, was it, nicole? why don't you tell us what you remember? i opened the door for him. -who? i don't know his name. he was supposed to pay us as a... as a side deal. he said we could make more money if we didn't involve our agency. that's the guy he wanted us to meet. -victor... potter. ex-government big shot. our client told us, though, that potter couldn't know we were pros. we were supposed to act like he was denzel and liam neeson rolled into one. -i know, right? he wasn't even that good-looking. but he was funny. he had a lot of, um, spy stories, like, stories about presidents. kissinger always said power is the greatest aphrodisiac. -he's wrong. money is. you said you were paid to seduce potter? see, that's the thing. um, our client didn't care if we slept with potter. -all he cared about was some, um, stupid prank with his lighter. it didn't make any sense. i mean, the lighters looked exactly the same. turned out to be a bad joke. you don't know his name, and you invited him back to your house to pay you? -no seven star oasis? no security? you look smarter than that, nicole. his name is ruiz. that's all i know. -he was popular with the girls. not a cheapskate like some of these other guys. he took girls shopping on rodeo drive, that sort of stuff. sounds like you liked this guy. until he pulled a gun and shot us up with smack, ruiz was a real charmer. -how's inez? inez didn't make it. i'm sorry. nicole just i.d.'d raul ruiz as both her client and assailant. he's got more bodies on him than freddy krueger. -there's an alphabet soup of agencies who want him. he does wet work for the highest bidder. cartels, black bag disavowed missions, stuff for anyone who's got the cash. you think ruiz was doing some of potter's dirty work? maybe stiffed him for money? -whoop, hold on a second. guys, i got a location on ruiz. okay, security cam picked him up at a cafe in montrose. okay. -you happen to know where hetty is, nell? i'm sorry. i tried. she even took the chip out of her cell phone. henrietta's whereabouts are of no one's concern but her own. -you know where hetty is? she can take care of herself. henrietta's a big girl. well, relatively speaking. so, where is she? -you solved potter's murder and have a location for his assassin. the cia can take it from here. you asking us to stand down? did i stutter? book's closed. -what if we use, like, a bookmark? control your people, mr. callen. let's roll. hello? you've got company. -what do you want me to do? nothing. i'll take care of it. stay right there. we'll take him on my call. -get down! get down! deeks? no shot. eric, did you get that vehicle? -lincoln navigator, no plates. sorry, guys. we lost them. where's granger? he left right after you did. -he say where he was going? no. anything from the traffic cams? uh, couple of angles of the shooting, but no clear view of the driver or the passenger. thanks, eric. -what's up? we defied a direct order, and we've got nothing to show for it. it's not the first time. this is on granger's watch. suddenly you're worried about granger? -hetty insists we take a case, and she disappears. and granger's all over us, and now he disappears? yeah. something's missing. and i think i know where to find it. -nell. i got another job for you. no. i wouldn't do it for joe namath's super bowl ring. -if hetty wants to keep something private, it should stay that way. this is all we've got, nell. hetty could be in trouble-- we got to do this... i know you know the code. come on, nell. -she put something in that box. i know it's important. all right. okay. that wasn't so hard. -it's easy for you to say. they don't get nfl sunday ticket in guantanamo bay. fireman ed would be proud of you. that's potter, our dead guy, with hetty and granger. this was taken someplace middle eastern. -karachi? cairo? yeah, but how long ago? at least a decade ago. i can't tell. -potter's dead. hetty and granger are off the grid. maybe it all comes down to this guy. this is where hetty's going. to find him. -this is barry brooks, another cia vet with a long association with our victim victor potter. how well does he know hetty and granger? well enough for them all to have connected in afghanistan in the '80s. after that, they became part of an informal team for nearly 15 years for the cia, also the cia/ncis joint task forces. -can you pinpoint the time and location of this photo? that's a negative. any conflict between brooks and hetty? based on e-mails from potter's hard drive, brooks's main conflict was with potter. -brooks accused potter of embellishing their old missions for profit with his, uh, video game and movie consulting. do you think brooks would really be willing to kill his former partner over that? well, it can be frustrating when your partner grandstands and likes to take credit for everything. i mean, i can sympathize, but killing for that might be a bit extreme. yeah? -so, what does any of this have to do with the party girls, ruiz or the woman who killed him? well, the girls were paid to switch the lighters. ruiz probably tried to kill them to tie up some loose ends. okay, well, if that's the case, then who hired ruiz? -well, it could be the woman who went all angelina jolie on him in montrose. maybe brooks hired both of them. makes sense. he's the last man standing. when was the last time either brooks or potter tried to contact hetty? -how about yesterday? brooks is preparing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against potter for a share of potter's profits from the black bag video game. potter e-mailed hetty to ask for her advice. the last call hetty made from her desk was to brooks's home phone line. -think she paid him a visit? federal agents! clear. got a body. clear. -clear. clear. it's brooks. looks like he dragged himself. "nogales bo"? -nogales is a town in arizona. it also means "walnut trees" in spanish, but i don't know what "bo" means. the old man took on a few of them, but they beat him. tortured him, maybe. -they either left his body here... or he crawled over here with his dying breath. to draw something in his own blood that makes no sense? yeah, bo knows... bo knows nothing. -guys, got something here. nobody move. it's a trip wire. careful, sam. eric? -yeah? call the bomb squad. on it. this was meant for hetty. thank you, commander. -i'll pass it on. so, lapd bomb squad disabled the device. i guess that's something. any word from the others? they're on their way back. -still no sign of hetty. maybe that's a good thing. how do you figure that? the bomb didn't get her. yeah, but maybe the person who set the bomb did. -hetty's too smart for that. okay, then why can't we find her? why hasn't she tried to contact us? somebody is out there trying to kill her. i know-- we've got to stay cool. -this is hetty, right? she's always three steps ahead of everyone. she's tactically brilliant, ridiculously courageous, experienced, resourceful. i mean, if mata hari and genghis khan had a daughter, it'd be hetty. or general patton and joan of arc. -exactly. her kung fu is strong, and her magic is powerful. say it. her kung fu is strong, and her magic is powerful. don't underestimate hetty. -she never underestimates us. eric, downstairs. guys are back. i'm thinking they dragged brooks' body into the bathroom, then rigged him with a booby trap, left him for dead. only he wasn't. -not quite. "bo" we know now stood for bomb, but "nogales"? could "nogales" be the name of the woman who killed ruiz at the cafe? maybe. this whole thing could be about her. -she hires ruiz to take out potter and brooks, and then rigs the body to take out hetty when she comes looking for him. so, ruiz is at the cafe waiting for her, probably to get paid. she spots us and decides to kill him? doesn't matter-- he's dead either way. if hetty was in danger, why would she leave here? -because, if someone is after hetty, the last place on earth she's gonna lead them is here. knowing hetty, she'd set a trap to see who's coming after her. if she needs our help, why wouldn't she make it easier for us? because that's not -hetty. doesn't mean she didn't leave bread crumbs. we just got take a step back and find them. what you thinking? nogal- -spanish for walnut tree. nell? you remember that get-well basket we sent hetty? she sent it back because of all the nuts. yeah, i picked it out. -yeah, i chipped in for that-- it wasn't cheap. hetty's allergic to nuts. okay, now, that's odd, even for hetty. eric, check hetty's computer log. hetty's last search was on the cia database for a casa de nogales. -that's got to be it. it was used as a presidential retreat for gerald ford, last used as a safe house for nsa, ncis, cia, anyone who needed it. hetty's sending us a message-- she's taking a stand. shh. -don't even think about it. gun. let's go. this is the best langley can do? the boys are slipping. -hetty? you had orders, agent callen. mr. callen. farmer, is that you? sam hanna. -how's michelle? she's good. she's good. uh, guys, this is my old devgru commander, dale farmer. he's cia now, special operations group. -taught me everything i know. well, almost everything. i pinned that trident to your chest-- don't you forget that. if we wanted you here, we would have called. was this your doing, henrietta? -i didn't call them, owen. this is not my idea to be here. so, what's going on, dale? well, after potter was killed and brooks went silent, we thought it'd be best to, uh, sequester the old team until we could figure out who was coming after them. you don't know who's after you? -we made a lot of enemies over the years, mr. callen. well, brooks was tortured to death. he wrote "nogales" in his own blood, and that's how we found you. your operational security's been blown, hetty. we need to move you. -i'll call it in. no, you guys have done enough. it's my call to make. aah! farmer, you okay? -just a little scratch. at least two shooters. make that four! or five. let's bang out from both sides, double back -with the car for farmer. kensi, deeks, take the front; we'll take the back. got it. you watch our backs, stabilize farmer. -you stay here. deeks! reloading. callen, sam, black navigator coming your way. who are you? -my name is fatima khan. i thought i told you to stay back. we share a similar attitude towards obeying the rules, mr. callen. you know her? i do now. -fatima khan was born in karachi to a mother who sewed dresses and a father who was a cab driver. when she was 12 years old, her father began driving a cab for this man. him i know. noreen haseeb, former mujahedeen soldier, and founding member of al-qaeda. he was one of the architects of the nairobi embassy bombings. -one day, noreen haseeb had a meeting with a terrorist cell. fatima's father was driving haseeb to the meeting when the cab exploded-- it wasn't an accident. zoom in on that guy in the back. it's victor potter. cia records confirm potter's team was responsible for the bombing. -i found one other photo. you think that little girl is fatima khan? i think so. her father died in the blast. fatima eventually earned her computer engineering degree from caltech, founded her own telecommunications firm in pakista- made millions. -her company created an eavesdropping device that was contracted by the pakistan's isi. eventually, she joined the agency, becoming a point person on joint isi/cia missions. her clearance would have given her access to classified files. she had her own agenda. that's how she found out about victor potter and the rest of his team. -and her deep pockets paid for ruiz and anybody else who would help her get her revenge. she wasn't born a killer. we made her one. i told you, i'm better when i move and they're shooting at me. still owe me crustacean. -and you owe me an isaac hayes record. actually... i don't. bam. where'd you find these? -casa de nogales had a whole stack of records. those were sandwiched between hotel california and zeppelin four. you ready? oh, uh, you want to come have drinks with us? come on, man. -hang out with us. i have eric and nell coming over to my place. gonna watch a james bond marathon on blu-ray. i got the box set. seriously? -yeah. well... so, you're a geek? i am not a geek. then you're a fan boy? -i'm a complicated man. can i come? mr. callen. i'm allergic to nuts. is that the good stuff? -it's 50 years old. it bloody well better be good. so, would you do it again? without hesitation, owen. two lives saved hundreds of others. -well, potter planted the bomb, but it was your finger on the detonator. not everyone can do what we do. the secrets we live with, the personal sacrifices we make. i just pray the world's a better place for them. i didn't choose this life, owen. -it chose me. all you can do is keep your head down, your gun up and your conscience clear. the night is young. let's get faded. == sync, corrected by elderman == -that vehicle is traveling four miles above the posted speed limit. that's mr. rubio. a lot on his mind. wife's about to have another baby. -we'll let him slide this time. but, sir, isn't it our duty to uphold the law? better for everybody when we uphold it with compassion. team, i need backup. -sorry, cody. you're gonna be a little late to school. ah. no! no! -get everyone out of that house! who is that? ¶ a routine patrol with four bots in stasis ¶ ¶ years later, awoke in the strangest of places ¶ ¶ earth was their home now, and in addition ¶ -¶ optimus prime gave them this mission ¶ ¶ learn from the humans, serve and protect ¶ ¶ live in their world, earn their respect ¶ ¶ a family of heroes will be your allies ¶ ¶ to others, remain robots in disguise ¶ -¶ rescue bots ¶ roll to the rescue ¶ humans in need ¶ heroes, indeed ¶ rescue bots ¶ roll to the rescue ¶ rescue bots ¶ with cody to guide them and show them the way ¶ ¶ rescue bots will be saving the -day ¶ ¶ rescue bots ¶ roll to the rescue ¶ rescue bots another rescue bot? did you know about this, dad? -cool! where did it come from? we don't know, and it could be hostile. rescue bots, surround the -- surround nothing! that thing just saved my house, and i want to know who to thank! -that would be whom to thank, mr. mayor. and the answer would be me -- dr. morocco. what brings you back to griffin rock, doctor? why, my great love for this little community, of course. -and this time, i come bearing gifts. black-market sales for your junk tech have slowed down, huh? i know not of what you speak, young lady. i build sensible devices for legitimate businesses, -like my new breed of rescue robot. it single-handedly does the work of your entire squad. i do hope they're made of recyclable parts. hey, listen, doc, our robots aren't getting scrapped. you can't just barge in here with unproven technology. -i -- you're right, young man. my morbot needs to prove itself, so i propose a test. your robots against mine. surely there's nothing more fair than that. appreciate the offer, doctor, but last time -you paid us a visit, your tech proved to be both dangerous and uncontrollable. that's why doc greene was hired instead of you. i've heard the good doctor has been sacked. sad, really. -it's not doc's fault. someone hacked the mainframe and then stuck a virus into -- ah, the faith of an innocent child. the point remains, my morbot can handle the unpredictable better than your current team -of machines and humans. mayor, please. says who? he can't talk to us like that. enough! -chief, you and dr. morocco come to the city council meeting this afternoon. i can't make any important decisions without pants. hey, frankie! -shh. sorry, mrs. nederlander. she doesn't run a very friendly bed and breakfast. i'm worried about daddy. -he says he's fine, but i don't believe it. cody, chief, good afternoon. my unexpected vacation has proven so valuable. i took up a new hobby, making birdhouses. that challenging. -doc, morocco's back. he's trying to get rid of the rescue bots and my family. now, you say this robot can do the work of an entire rescue team? -in any emergency all by itself. and because my morbot does not require a human handler, it completely eliminates any misplaced empathy or human error. it eliminates my team. -with all due respect, council, my family and our bots have kept griffin rock remarkably safe. at great risk to your own lives. morbot would put the burns family out of harm's way. -we know danger is part of the job. there's no reason to replace us. i'm so sorry. i thought this town welcomed advanced technology. i'd better give my robot to a more sophisticated city. -yes! just a second, doctor! griffin rock will try your morbot. if it can safely do the work of chief's team, i'm sure they'll happily, uh, step aside. -mr. mayor, i do not -- your bots replaced dozens of vehicles, chief. progress marches on. all in favor? starting tomorrow, the morbot will assist -in all emergencies. may the best bot win. they can't do this! what are we supposed to do with one emergency vehicle? share it? -won't be a problem. the town's dumping us, too. this job is about keeping people safe. no way one robot can protect an entire island. just because i don't like flying -doesn't mean i want to be grounded. i guess everyone's replaceable. nobody has been replaced. this is a contest, which we can win. dad's right. -what are we afraid of? the morbot is a machine, programmable metal. you're -- experienced, thinking rescue bots. against this team, that bucket of bolts -doesn't stand a chance. guys, it's go time! rescue bots, roll to the rescue! the crates are full of explosives! burns family, we need to clear out, now! -dad, we can get this done faster if we all work together! not open for debate. heatwave, can you handle the explosives? we have it. move, kade. -bots aren't as fragile as humans. hey! we have company. and not the friendly neighbor kind. apparently, the morbot correctly observed -that his assistance is not needed. whoa! agh, we had that covered! not much for subtlety, is it? or safety. -banging those crates around could have set off the explosives. and look at this mess. littering. that robot can expect a citation in the mail. -he can also expect headlines. huxley prescott reporting live. that's one for the morbot, zero for the home team! can the burns family still cut it? are the rescue bots rescue nots? -stay tuned for more exclusive morbot action. who wants to watch a brainless robot? there's no way it's better at our jobs than we are. except for the time when it just was. -that isn't you! no way! sure, morbot put out the fire, but it caused even more problems doing it! a machine's no match for real heroes. -i'll show you. this is the story of john henry. he worked on the railroad using only his hammer. i feel reassured already. one day, a machine showed up to replace him, -so john henry challenged it. whoever could get the job done first would win. you sure you're not making this up? john henry worked as hard as he could, and he beat that machine with the strength of his arms -and the power of his mighty heart. so he got to keep his job? uh, yeah, something like that. the end. then we need to work harder. -we'll show that mindless robot exactly who it's up against! i had one just like this when i was your age. here you are, young man. ready for blast-off. what was that? -we have a model rocket causing trouble on lake street. i'm on it. aah! gah! grab it, boulder. -aah! i got it! i'm on the rocket's tail. no, this one's mine. watch where you're going, graham. -i was. that's why boulder told you to move. guys! morbot's here! another victory for the challenger! -and another defeat for our rescue bots. bested by a child's toy. makes you wonder if our town has ever been safe with the burns family at the helm. you don't really believe that. -hey, what i believe in is a good story. and this is a great story. i don't get it. the bots should have had that. something's fishy about that rocket. -doctor morocco. dad, i think i know what made that rocket go out of control. can we talk later, cody? my hands are kind of full here. -frankie, something weird is going on with morocco. can i come over? sure thing, cody, as soon as we get back to -- agh! i thought i fixed this! -watch it! are you crazy? dad, doc greene's solar car is on the fritz again. frankie says they're on russell street. did you hear that, team? -great. another chance for hotshot bot to kick our -- hey, there are eight of you and one of him. if you all work together, you have a huge advantage. remember, this isn't about showing up another robot. -our first and only priority is keeping people safe. compassion, sir. it's what makes us good at our jobs. don't worry, daddy. the rescue bots will save us. -now, blades! ha! hope huxley got that on camera. oh, thank you! i have no idea what got in to my car. -you covered the solar panels, removed the backup battery! the car has no source of power! no! my car! there's no explanation for it. -oh, of course, there is. you! your tech is a menace to our society. mr. mayor, thank goodness you're unharmed. oh, i shudder to think what would have happened -if my morbot hadn't been on hand to save city hall. save it? do you not see the giant crater? better here than in my office! -what if there had still been people in that car? you want news, huxley? here it is. i'm hiring dr. morocco as griffin rock's lead scientist. -this is so unexpected! all i can say is, i accept. your tech came through when our town needed it most. maybe you can clean up doc greene's mess. you planned this! -i don't know how, but i'll find out. hmm. children should really be seen and never be heard. run along. and because the morbot has proven -it can protect griffin rock much better than our current team, chief burns and his rescue force will step down. what? no way! -why? are you kidding? mayor, please! look at the damage that robot caused. it doesn't think like a human. -and your robots do? my family does. d'oh! your family needs to find new jobs. heroes, indeed. -morbot, patrol. may i suggest birdhouses? ugh! ugh! ugh! -ugh! i can't believe we were beaten by that gear-headed goon! we have failed this town and everyone in it. they failed us, too, chase. chief said we wouldn't lose our jobs. -humans say a lot of things. ugh! ugh! boulder, are you okay? i finished the book. -even though john henry tried his hardest, his heart gave out in the end. that's how i feel, too. but you can't give up! dr. morocco did this. -we'll figure out how to stop him! okay, i know what you're trying to do, cody, but we don't need cheering up. we need to be reassigned a new mission. somewhere else. -no! you don't! cody, guess what? dad just examined what's left of our car, and he found something awfully familiar inside. -previously on damages... bloody, half naked, wandering the streets at 7:00 a.m. just your type. all we found on her was this. "hollis m. nye, attorney-at-law." -i want to help you, ellen, 'cause i know you didn't do it. i am catherine's legal guardian. to get custody, you're going to have to prove that i perpetrated fraud. the fraud you perpetrated was convincing the state you were a fit mother. we'll get you a list of our witnesses. -i thought about you when you were gone. i'm not really in the... best state of mind these days. whenever you feel like it-- if you ever feel like it and you're interested, i'm here. she wants to get out from under my shadow, but she'll never be able to. -i've always wanted to find a woman who could step into my shoes. i am offering you my hand, ellen. you chose winning over everything-- your husband, your son, me. all you have in your life is your next case. i'm not interested. -you are an ungrateful child and you are in for a rude awakening. our list of witnesses. i need that research, bill. got it right here. good afternoon, ms. hewes. -you're sitting in grandma's chair. well, you can get off now. get off mommy's chair. you're not my mommy. and you're not the one who's supposed to be there. -you're no one's mommy. get off. you're no one's mommy. get off. you're no one's mommy. -get the fuck off! patty. patty. you all right? yeah. -oh, okay. this real estate contact told me that ellen has recently pulled the trigger on a new office, and word is that a few clients have approached her, and she turned them all down. of course she did. she's waiting. for what? -for a case big enough to put her on the map. now, look, this obsession you have about this girl is a distraction. all she's trying to do is get on with her life. now, you forget about her. i can't. -why not? oh, because she's going to testify against you in catherine's custody case? ellen wants to hurt me. ah, come on, big deal, she can't hurt you. -what are you worried about? she knows things. what do you mean, she knows things? oh. well, that's a very different story. -so i just want to say congratulations to both of you, and especially you, tony. come on, everyone here knows that tony has been trying to date cheryl for-- since tenth grade. somehow, after 15 years, you got her to marry you. i don't know how you did it, man. you-- you, my friend, you're a lucky man. -yes. raise your glasses. here's to persistence. thanks, bro. all right. -thanks, man. hey, congratulations. thanks, parsons. that was so beautiful. another bourbon? -no, i'm good. uh, i've got an early start, but, uh, the next round is on me. it's already taken care of. congratulations again. hang on a second. -hey, you're not sticking around? no, i should... i should probably take off. i, uh, i'm sorry we didn't really get to talk that much tonight. that's all right. -next time. at some point we should get dinner, you know, sometime... or something. yeah, okay. no pressure. whenever-- totally up to you. -all right. it was really good to see you. global trade has grown dramatically, but the panama canal, one of the most... that is about to change. -the expansion of the panama canal is one of the largest construction projects in the world right now-- a multibillion-dollar effort that will add a third channel to the waterway allowing massive cargo ships from china... everything okay? everything is significantly better than okay. can i ask you something? yeah. -where the hell are we? this is my new office. you might want to invest in some walls. walls are overrated. you hungry? -what are you doing for breakfast? oh, shit. sorry, i have to be in court this morning. you trying a new case? no, i don't have any clients yet. -it's something else. i'm a character witness. for what? i'm testifying against patty in a child custody case. i don't get it. -patty took her granddaughter away from her son. now he wants her back. were you subpoenaed? no. i volunteered. -i'm looking forward to it. the equity long/short guys have been the darling of your newspaper forever. well, hell, no, i'm not bashful about the fund's successes, an-and you shouldn't be either. all i'm asking for is a little positive press from you. that's all i'm saying. -thank you. can you think of anyone more useless than a financial reporter? not off the top of my head. you wanted to see me? some more information is gonna be coming your way. -i see. so... usual protocols. it stays on this floor. i do not want it going wide. -of course. is there a problem, naomi? no. we're up 22% in a shitbag economy. our strategies are paying off. -be happy. i got to take this. but i'm taking you to lunch today. steak, sushi, you think about it. bruce davies. -fuck gencorp. wouldn't go near it. i've been living abroad for some time now, which is natural for me. i grew up all over the world. but you are an american citizen. -technically. the american state department said your web site is directly responsible for the deaths of three diplomats in iraq. untrue. still, if you're leaking stolen information. i don't leak anything. -i provide a safe haven for whistleblowers who want to get information to the public. what about your personal life? it's difficult to have one when you live in shadow. i receive a lot of threats. governments and ceos throughout the world have... -turn it off. ...condemned my web site and its mission. do you recognize... you haven't seen the whole cut. i don't need to. -pbs wants to air it in the states. do you approve? no. i don't like how i come off. i think you come off great. -channing? she called. did she make a decision? no. she wants to have a conversation, face-to-face. -fly her over here. she won't come. she doesn't want to cast suspicion on herself. she said it's time-sensitive. make arrangements. -we're going to new york. i don't think that's wise. she'll come through for us, rutger. trust me. i'd prefer to be the one to talk to her. -and we're gonna need to find ourselves an attorney. whatever you think is best. just make arrangements. i respectfully request that ms. parsons be removed from the witness list and not be allowed to testify, your honor. ms. parsons is a legitimate character witness. -she can attest to ms. hewes' fitness as a parent. ms. parsons is single and childless. she doesn't know the first thing about motherhood. that's irrelevant. ms. hewes regularly brought my client's daughter to the office. -ellen parsons was an associate in my law firm. she signed a confidentiality agreement, your honor. she can't testify to what she witnessed-- or claims she witnessed-- while working for me. you have the discretion to decide that, your honor. all right, look. -this weekend's columbus day, and i'm going apple picking. i will take your briefs with me and think about it. thank you. thank you, your honor. sorry, ms. parsons, i'm afraid you won't be testifying today. -you have the right to speak to an attorney. you're aware of that? i don't need an attorney. you make me come to you, and you're late? i was stuck in a meeting. -so, i have a proposal for you. hmm, what's that? one weekend every three months. one weekend. it's generous. -you haven't a legal leg to stand on, so just take it. what happened? until today, you've refused to move an inch; now suddenly you're making an offer? michael, i have real cases to try. i can't waste my time on this. -no. you're afraid. of you? no. you don't want ellen to testify. -you're worried about what she's going to say. what does she know about you anyway? one weekend every three months. not good enough. it's better than you'll get in a trial. -ms. hewes? yeah? a rutger simon called for you. in regard to what? channing mcclaren wants to meet with you. -i'm grateful you came, ms. hewes. i've been following your career. likewise. so you know what i do? of course. -what can i do for you? i'm going to be receiving some sensitive information soon. i'll need a civil attorney. what kind of information? i can't tell you that. -can you give me the general area? i just said i can't tell you. don't waste my time. it's about wall street. a rather large investment bank has been misbehaving. -how large? the institution's over a century old. its assets are worth $500 billion. and you think as soon as this information comes out, someone's going to sue you? it happens every time i post a leak. -i've been living in europe for the past decade, but... now i need an american attorney. i appreciate some of your work, mr. mcclaren, but i'm not sure i approve of your methods. my methods? the hacking world's like the wild west, and you're the self-appointed sheriff. who's policing you? -i don't need policing. i expose the truth. by stealing secrets? i'm flattered by your interest, but... you and i aren't a good fit. don't be stupid. -you need me. do i? more than i need you. you're an old woman. you have just a handful of productive years left until my generation unseats you. -you may dislike my methods, but... with me, you'll stay relevant. i'll take my chances without you. but if you're looking for an attorney... this is the best one i know. thank you for flying over, but i prefer to talk directly to mr. mcclaren. -channing thought it was best you deal with me. they got another tip. this one's gonna make them billions. how high up the ladder does this go? i can't say. -i only know what happens in fund 23. my supervisor runs it as he sees fit. you can stop him. you have the evidence, right? fund records, trades, account information? -i have access to everything. good. i do this, they're gonna shut the fund down. i won't have a job. we can guarantee your anonymity. -your name will be removed. i have a daughter. she's applying to college. i don't know if i can be in the middle of all of this. i understand. -not everyone can handle the pressure. but if you do want to move forward, use this to encrypt your data. there's instructions in here, how to upload everything to our server. if you decide you can help us, these codes are good for the next 48 hours. so, why would you turn down mcclaren as a client? -i don't like him. well, what the hell does that got to do with anything? this kid's the new wave. he's an international phenomenon. he's arrogant and he's dangerous. -huh. what? what is it? the judge is going to let ellen testify against me. so, now you got to protect yourself. -you got to forget about your granddaughter. oh, come on, you don't want her anyway; she's just another distraction. i sent my kids to boarding school; i gave them to someone who knew what to do with them. -michael has no idea what it means to be a parent. do you? you tried it once. it didn't work. now you got to move on. -you got to focus on your career. take mcclaren as a client. if you're so worried that parsons gonna hang you in court, then you got to suck it up and give your son back his kid. i was thinking about you. are you sure you want to get involved in patty's custody battle? -seems a bit personal. it's already personal between me and patty. testifying against her is the least i could do. what do you mean? patty's... -done certain things. like what? it's probably better if i don't tell you. okay. the woman belongs in prison. -so go to the police. the things i know about her, i-i can't prove. i don't have any hard evidence. it would just be my word against hers. well... -all i'm saying is, you're trying to move your career forward. patty's very powerful. she could hurt you. i hear you. you're not the first person to warn me about patty. -detectives. come in. hi. it's been a while. yeah. -thanks, uh, thanks so much for coming. we have the evidence you asked for. i appreciate it. you were lucky. uh, usually when a case is solved, uh, this stuff gets shipped upstate. -you really didn't have to bring it down. i was happy to come pick it up. well, we were glad to hear from you. we were wondering how you were doing. oh, good. -thanks. uh, detective ortiz and i talk about your fiancé's case all the time. it's good to see you're well. thank you. anyway, this evidence, um, well, we bent the rules to get you this, so can you give us a heads-up when you're done? -yeah, of... absolutely, of course. you take care. if you need anything, you let us know? i will. -you're special, ellen, but that will only make the fall harder. there won't be room for you and patty. with patty hewes, there's only patty. she'll see what i see, and she'll own you. ms. hewes... -ellen parsons is missing. oh. any idea where she's at? mom? hmm? -i'm gonna go meet some friends downtown. all right. when do you think you'll be home? not late. i have my interview at city college in the morning. -all right. have fun. yeah. bye. bye. -i love you. princefield, one of the country's largest and oldest investment banks is the latest institution to find its secrets splashed across the internet. company documents posted by cyber-hacker channing mcclaren, suggest that princefield's fund 23 reaped massive profits from a widespread program of insider trading. government agencies have already called for a full investigation. -insider trading? how did this happen? i don't know. but it fucking happened. channing mcclaren got a hold of all of our records. -did you have anything to do with this? of course not. well, it seems like everything came out of your goddamn computer. that's not possible. i don't know what you fucking did, naomi, but we're all dead. -you, me, every trader on this floor. i suppose i should feel insulted. what are you talking about? "personal e-mails reveal trader's sex-capades." apparently, you threw a hump to every wall street executive but me. -in an unusual turn for mr. mcclaren's organization, however, the leak also contained graphic and sexually explicit content belonging to a naomi walling, a princefield employee. hundreds of personal e-mail messages containing intimate details appear to romantically link ms. walling to several high-level wall street executives. the inclusion of this personal content calls into question mr. you ever been to dublin? -mmm-mmm. ah, mate, you are gonna love it, absolutely love it. it's a wonderful city. and those irish kids are mad for the cocaine. now you are going to be pulling in at least a grand a week. -a grand a week? (winces cautiously) to start off with. is this legit? yeah, of course it is. -deano, man. you've saved me life! (danny) why me and not you? (deano) because i've got something going on here that needs my personal attention. do you know what i mean? -(chuckling) (shushing) see, i need somebody i can trust to go on over there and set the wheels in motion for me, all right? well, i'm your man for the job. that's what i thought. -now look. here's something to keep you going. don't mention this to curtis, will you? you got trouble with him? no. -no, not at all. i just... i don't want him to know. do you know what i mean? all right. -i'll make the arrangements. you make sure you're ready to go when i give you the call, all right? will do, boss. good man. promise you, i won't let you down. -all right. joseph. do you want something to eat? (music playing) (exclaims) -do you want a go? yes, please! (children screaming excitedly) (joseph) danny! i'm on, danny! -look, danny! keep hold! (cheering excitedly) (laughing) good job. -go for that... go for that one there. you boss-eyed bastard. (joseph) got it! got it! -evening, ladies. great rack. did you see her rack! pardon? i said... -i said would you like a drink? we're fine, thanks. i never asked how you was feeling, love. i asked you if you'd like a drink. and i said we're fine. -thank you. hey. (exclaims) suit yourself. vodka and tonic, twice. -rack 'em up, joseph. rack 'em up. (joseph) rack 'em up. two pints, and two vodka tonics, please. what's his problem? -he's all right. he just needs new batteries putting in. two vodka tonics. yeah, that's right. slice of lime? -go on then. if you insist. vodka for them two over there? (danny) the dolly birds, yeah. have you got a problem? -i won't. as long as you keep your knickers on. come on. let's go. hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. -where are you going, girls? i got you two drinks here. drown in them, pricks. (danny slurring) (danny) this time next week we'll... we'll be in ireland. -fishing the best rivers. just me and you. me and you. (panting and muttering indistinctly) (joseph) fishing, danny! -let's go. it's too early. why don't you go on your own, and i'll meet you there in a bit? please. just give me a little bit more sleep, please. -well, you go, joseph. you go on your own. just give me half an hour. i'll meet you in half an hour. good lad, that's it. -that's a good lad. that's a good boy. (talking indistinctly) help me! pack it in now, can't you see she's crying. -(laughing) (tina) go on then, get in. (humming) get in. go on, get in. -(all continue laughing) stop! get in! go on, get in! stop! -go! (isabel) help. (tina) you fucking retards!

fathers with grown up daughters living away can't avoid this tension. look kasi, we can feel sad for daughters not staying with us, but i don't have tension about her, because... -she'll never do anything without telling me. she'll not take a step without my knowledge. we think like that but on getting certain age, children forget everything we had done for them. infact they don't need us at all. but i've not raised my lovely like a father but like me. -i've written diary about how my daughter must grow from her childhood. surprisingly she was just like that! i was very happy. i may be not with her now, but my diary is always with her, and make her think like me. poor man has great hope on her! -any father with daughter must think like this. if not life will be miserable. it seems it happened as in diary, though they may read umpteen number of diaries, there are rogues who can change their direction is a moment. his daughter too is a girl, right?

-would you keep quiet if she was your sister? by the way whose sister is the girl in car? your sister, brother-in-law. come, i'll get her to tie a rakhi. come. -take out your ration card, aadhar card, gas card, every card you have. i'll see that you don't get any card. please tell him, madam. please leave him. he's requesting you, right?

i'll tell you. it was the time of pawan kalyan's film 'teen maar'! when we get fever, mother... when we get fever, we feel mother should be with us, when we get scared, we feel dad should be with us, when we are sad, we feel a friend should be with us, but only when we are happy, only when we're happy, -we feel the girl we love must be with us. if you talk like this, i feel police should be with us now. i was singing about she ringing my heart, but she suddenly hit my heart with bell and left. that's all? just say something and manage her. -you stop. ram gopal varma's 'raktha charithra' ended with two parts, but my senseless history has two more parts. what else? i was just recovering from the wounds of 'teen maar' days, prince mahesh babu's 'dookudu' film released. -thursday march 1st evening 5.40 pm, i saw for the first time... today isn't thursday! it's not march 1st! december 7th! it's not evening 5.40 pm too. -really your history is senseless. what would say after hearing the climax? what did you do this time? i saw ntr's 'oosaravelli'. i planned a friendship. -love means caring... friend means sharing... how is my framing? friendship? o my friend? -i want you only! have you seen your face in the mirror? you're like a bull and if you feel insulted, when you imitate those heroes, how would those heroes feel? what would become of their fans? if you hurt me like this, what would become of me? -i had decided never to enter her life again. but didn't expect she would chat with me. didn't you see your faces even after chatting for so many days? she had a photo of sania mirza in her profile. i too had brilliant idea and used shoaib's photo. -you fool! she'll also say the same if i go inside. isn't it? it'll not work out, come let's go. please try to understand, i'm lucky to get such a girl. -what would you do now? you've to do not me. me? if she sees me now, she should be like darling kajol but would become anushka arundhati. so... -so? you meet her in my place. after you get close, how sweet i am, how great it is to get a lover like me, you tell her and set her for me. please buddy, i'll die and be born as your child. are you requesting with death threat? -are you threatening to be born as my son? take it as you wish, please go. your fate! who is the girl? it's her! -go! just now in the petrol bunk... i too felt like scolding him but controlled myself. you ripped him apart. he got real stick! -no problem, we can say what ever we feel like. don't control everything. what else? do you play tennis? i don't even watch it. -is it? then, why do you keep sania mirza's photo in your profile? i didn't know which photo to keep there. did you use it because she's beautiful? but to me, you look more beautiful than her. -i think lovely name suits you better than lalli. in the petrol bunk a while ago... if you want to give me a treat for it, i'll encourage him to cheat you everyday. now we're friends but you helped then without knowing me, this treat is for that. isn't it great to react like that for strangers? -what's so great in it? it's happiness to do for our people. it's double happiness to think all are our people. doubted him unnecessarily. you know my dad, right? -if he comes to know i'm chatting, he'll break legs of my computer instructor. if he come to know about meeting, he'll start hacking! why did you send me then? i've chatted with many people. but don't know why i felt this idiot was better. -there's nothing to lose in meeting, right? so i met him. by the way how is my boy friend? is he fair like mahesh babu? fair complexion. -tall like prabhas? taller than you. does he have good body like allu arjun? i think he would've six pack behind that shirt. i'm feeling strange hearing about him from you. -don't you've shame? forget it, do we need it? please tell more about him. what's there to tell about him? i think he would be really great to get such certificate from you. -i'll dare now! but there's a risk. i told you about the petrol bunk incident, right? though he didn't knew me, he created a scene for cheating me. so? -he's so sincere, if he come to know we had cheated him. i'll see that you don't have any card. without a doubt, he would tear our cards. what to do now? i don't know, better to meet him at an opportune time. -you deal with him. ever since you told me about him, i can't hold myself. if you unite us quickly and if we've a daughter, i'll name her as lavanya after you. what if you've a son? -i'll name him as lavangam. how can i help you sir? you've shirts with changing colours, right? show me. we don't have shirts like that, sir. -no? you gave me one yesterday. run out of stock already? i don't know what you're saying, sir? we too don't know what colour this shirt is? -enough of seeing it, tell me what colour is that? i too felt like that. when i went out and saw, it's true colour was out. what happened sir? what happened? -it appears in a colour here, it's a different colour outside. this is also a type of cheating, you know? take out your ration card, aadhar card, gas card, every card you have. same voice and same words. let's decide it between us now. -take out. lights are switched on in cricket stadiums at night only, but will you switch on lights all the day and cheat people? take out... take out you rc, insurance and license. take out everything. -i'm the floor manager, sir. please tell me, what's your problem, sir? i'll solve it. should i begin from the start? do one thing, get your staff to form a queue, -i'll tell every one of them. why are you watching like a fool? tell him. why are you staring me? mind your work. -half of the people come here to pass time or try new clothes. am i right? sir, here's the blue shirt you wanted. what's the guaranty that this is blue? do one thing, switch off the lights, using natural light, i'll check the colour and decide. -lfwe get a customer like him every day, our showroom would become a store room. what a beautiful girl! my mind went blank for that lovely smile. you're talking about my lover, don't forget it. i know that's why i'm talking decently. -if i tell all my feelings... please don't tell, i beg you. you should've seen the action, he took on the showroom for a slight change in colour. so what? don't you wan to tell about us? -i don't know how to tell him? he's going after anyone for cheating. if he comes to know about us, i'm sure he'll take us to task. i've fallen flat for her. i was always away from girls, -i can't bear even inches away from lovely. you're talking lovely and distance. why such a girl is searching for boy friend in facebook? facebook is for people without face value, why does she need it? instead of falling for dynamic and dashing boy like me, how could she fall for a king kong like you. -just a joke. it's shocking to me also, how did he fall for you? he created a big scene for a shirt colour, how could he keep quiet without knowing about you? why are you jealous of me? you'll also find someone. -forget about me. if he come to know your cheating, it's tears all the way. so don't delay and try convincing him quickly. if i delay i think he'll elope with her. what are you doing? -chatting in messages too. just show me the way, i'll pave a road. he's asking, shall we meet? lovely? tell him to call me lalli. -is she asking me to call her? i've asked him to meet and he wants to exchange phone numbers. take it easy. if i give him my number, he'll find out the voice difference. that's why i'm giving your number. -leave me. no please. she gave her number. where shall we meet? our favourite spot. -but you must come in my favourite colour dress. she says your favourite spot. what's it? you don't even have a passport. is switzerland your favourite spot? -what's the local spot? idiot! it's not favourite if you think and tell. i know. each girl chats differently. -brilliant guys like me... commit themselves with what ever they say. what did we say then... what could be his favourite colour? he has put me in a spot. -will you wear this? wear this, he'll not care about colour. great! did you see her dress? i gave all my used saris to maid servant. -if i had made dress using old saris it would be good dress, right? what's this? it's embarrassing to stand here in this dress. she's not in the necklace road. is it? -great! what's great? if she's not in one of the 3 places, you're left with 2 places, right? sir einstein! sanghi temple and gandipet! -one is in east and the other is in west. according to my calculation of the kidney, you'd be in south, right? you wait in the north for me. why? to bury you in the cemetery there. -where did you buy this dress? so, at last someone liked this dress. my sister too is going to college, if i send her in such clothes, nobody would bother her, right? hey idiot! where are you? -kittu, you're getting busy with every passing day. i'm in sanghi temple. she's not here too. then, not at sanghi temple too. did you ever visit a temple in your life? -it's all your affection, dude. i'm going to gandipet, if i don't find her there, you're dead meat. did you see any girl in white dress? so his favourite colour is white. my mummy has washed all my white dresses. -this dress too has white, so, i wore this. is it? what's the program? where are we going? urgently to an apparel shop. -what fine?

-your favourite chicken leg piece. i hate eating food without chicken, you know? i hate to see chicken, how could you eat it? bitter gourd! i love it! -would any man eat bitter gourd? you eat chicken! what happened? why are you throwing up as if you eat something in african forest? you ate just green leaves, right? -am i a goat to chew leaves? i eat goats but you made me eat what goat eats. why to eat there and brush here? if you don't like, you must manage it, is it necessary to make your mouth stink? if i refuse what she had ordered, she may feel bad, right? -i don't know who is feeling for that idiot's feelings. if you don't want to get this repeated again, first tell me everything you know about him. i'll tell you. she's so beautiful but her tastes are so bad. he's perfect in all aspects but his tastes are worst. -isn't it nice to walk and talk? yes... fine. got clarity to talk, right? when are you launching your new website? new website? -you said you'd start a networking site to beat facebook. will you open a website? why did you go silent?

his comedy is super, right? comedy? that is when asked for his cell number, it seems he said nokia 6300, and he got worried for finding enter button and not exit button in the keyboard. there are so many like that. -you too said many funny things about your friend. i can't recollect her name. lavanya? you said she takes 4 hours to make up. you said no need to watch horror film, seeing her without make up is enough. -why don't you bring her with you? i'm eager to see that devilish face. am i always follow you like tail? did i get worried for finding enter button and not exit button in the keyboard? do i take 4 hours to make up? -seeing face without make up is like watching horror film? 8 did he tell that also? stop! stealing... this is stealing... -what's the mischievous gestures that two pairs of eyes make?

did you accept this marriage because groom's caste is dominant here? do you expect to get the 60000 votes of his caste after the marriage? are they interviewing me or giving us information? information is correct. -did i ever do anything for political gain? the same now also. i wanted this marriage to be simple, so in a temple. caste votes? my son-in-law will ask, why should i bother? -he understood the logic. i'm here my dear. had you told me, i would've brought a silk sari! you sir, you too sit, son-in-law. no problem. -what are you waiting for, priest? do it fast. okay. my daddy would be happy for arranging this marriage. waves of wishes are pulling towards you... -so many wishes and desires, each one is wishing for you only... with you even chill winter is like hot summer... is time twirling in the blowing wind and in your hot hugs? how many marks would you give me? 100%! when would you hug me tightly? -boy, cool... i don't believe myself that i've become yours... you've tempted my thoughts in a jiffy... i'll become your breath... i'll become sari draping you... -never seen or heard before... unknown to sleep... our bodies unite in the bliss.. though you say no, it's mere waste... don't be stubborn... if i refuse to go... -i'll see your end... when i come you shivering in cold, shyness will vanish from you... a deluge is about to overrun me... in the chill breeze if i do what i want touching you... we'll cross the line of decency... -who writes the fate to cross that line? when will i be offered you as my wife? without waking up, sleepy eyes... when it realises, it's never ending happiness... when i my hands join yours... -i'm yours... when i tie the knot with you... everything is peace... what uncle? you never call me, why have you called me? -did you find any match for anjali? did you call to tell my account is over? don't rush boy! i called you to close your account once for all. come to bunk immediately. -immediately? i'm little busy now. i'll come later. okay, if you're so busy, i'll find and come to your home. home? -no need uncle. sister-in-law will there and there will be trouble. i'll come immediately. that's better. come, show your speed today. -sir, here only! this is the place. have you made such a big plan for me? come in. why did you stop there? -come. what's this uncle? these guns and dens, do we need it? enough of your act! david sir, that's him i told you about. -uncle, i'm confused because my brain map isn't matching with scene here. look, the same speed. i told david about you. i wanted to introduce you, so i called you. hearing your voice in phone, i thought you'd thrash me. -have you arranged a meeting? sir knows only to cut hands, he won't shake hands. he's robert, david's brother. leave all that, come to the point. how long will you earn in thousands by blackmailing fathers of girls, if you do david's job, you can settle down with one job. -what's the job? i'll tell you, do whatever i ask. take what ever you want. do you know to speak telugu? do you know him? -it seems you've trapped this man's daughter in love. if you get into contact with him, don't stop yourself with small bucks, if you bring him to david, he'll pay 50 not just 25! not thousands but lakhs! take as much as you want. i want him. -that's okay. but what's the matter? if you know where he is, tell us. or else bring him to us. but i don't accept deals without knowing the details. -i'll tell you, calm down boy. david sir, i told you the boy is very sharp. your job is done. you tell him what ever you told me. okay. -his name is mangalampalli maharadhi. he appears like a big businessman. but he's a fraud! he cheated america with 5 million dollars. he swindled crores of dirhams in dubai. -he defrauded 2 millions in australia. but nobody has been able to catch him. who ever he may be... he only played with money but human lives also. he came to mumbai 10 years ago. -he said some business. he was married by then. but he hid that and secretly trapped my sister. he said love. promised marriage. -but he ruined her and escaped with what ever he could take. my sister didn't ask for him after getting cheated. she wanted his death! from that day i've been searching for him. he vanished from india. -he changed addresses in abroad. came to know he's here now. mustn't miss him this time. he must die! inquired about his business. -came to know he has lost all the stolen money. inquired about his family. came to know his doted daughter is in love with you. if he meets you, just give me the information. why beat around the bush? -he loves his daughter, right? get her and he'll come to us. you keep quiet, chote. hey lover boy! go and bring him at any cost. -one minute. i forgot to tell you one thing. you saw his original face in the photo. but he never comes out with that face. with a different get up every day, with a new disguise every 3 hours, -he keeps on changing colours. watch the get ups he dons. you'll get an idea. you scoundrel! how many times should i call you? -how long will you escape? can't we catch if you don't answer the call? we'll not spare you alive for cheating us of 100 crores. your eyes, legs and hands are intact. i thought babu rao called to avenge you. -there will be plans and revenges for international frauds, small timers won't have that much! you're talking indifferently. that's my cell phone. can stop the phone easily but difficult to stop david who is here for you. david? -how do you know david? so, what he told is true! what did he tell about me? he told me what you are and promised to pay anything for you. not that.. -no please. i can't hear cock and bull stories from you. when you did this to know about the man your daughter loves, i thought you were a great father, but never thought you'd be a cheat, you've a set up and a get up everyday, moreover acting like an honest man, do you how cheap it is to hear this? yes, i'm a fraud. -i agree. i've been eluding everyone for 25 years now, i can vanish again without a trace, but do you know why i came to this place? my lovely called and told i love a boy, and he resembles a lot with you, i got alarmed, i saw you in the airport and got it confirmed. -i came here to see how you are for my daughter, but unexpectedly you came to know about me. enough! i'm much better compared to you. we both know it. infact you are not qualified to check me. -for asking your coat in the airport, i appeared like a wastrel to you, you've stolen crores, how would you look like to me? will you tell david about my whereabouts? why didn't you come to the school to pick me up? i told you to go to supermarket, why didn't you go? as if going out will kill you, why are you not going out? -whatever i'm asking, he's silent. tell me lovely. my father promised to come back from delhi yesterday. but he hasn't yet comeback. his mobile is switched off. -no reply for mails. i'm worried. will my daddy come back? there won't be any problem, right? come to our meeting spot, i need to talk to you. -do you know what you're saying? i know! that's why i'm telling you. you and our love is important to me. not your daddy. -but my daddy is important to me. why do always crib about father? are you the only one with a father? don't others have father? may i'm the only one to have such a father. -you don't know about my daddy. how he raised me and what he had done for me, only i know. you saw me, you liked and then loved me, but my daddy started loving me ever since my mother got pregnant. that's why i hate this father and daughter relationship. you go on talk about father without understanding anything. -what should i understand? without listening to my daddy, without even trying to convince him, if you ask me to come with you, how should i understand? didn't love you because you're maharadhi's daughter or somebody's niece. i don't have the necessity to impress anyone else. you're my lover, your safety and happiness is more important to me. -that's why i'm asking you. come with me, i'll protect you. you're talking as if i'm in a danger. you could be in danger because of your father. i think you're with wrong idea. -come out of it first. it's wrong to do like this. so you find what i do or say is wrong, right? won't your daddy commit any mistakes? isn't there any risk of you falling in danger because of it? -my father never made me take a wrong step even while teaching me to walk. it's wrong to think that he would do wrong. you're building a wall between us with your daddy. why are you saying like that? my father united us. -did your father unite us? the way my daddy raised me made you like me. your similarity with my dad made you my lover. it did, right? i'm asking as your lover, come with me. -i love you but i've greater love, affection and respect for my father. i can't come with you i've problems but why are you getting drunk? though you may have many problems, i've only one but that's enough, to make me drunk! -only one problem? what's the problem? who else? your daughter! she thinks her father is like an elder brother of mother teresa. -she doesn't know you're a worse criminal than dawood ibrahim. good bye to you and your daughter. i never thought i would have a fourth peg in my life. but you've made me drink half bottle. your brothers-in-law are here! -they've come in an ac car. would you like to go with them? you escaped from me but i got you now. but he mustn't be before my eyes. but under my feet. -won't you let us celebrate farewell party too? you give order for food, i'll feed them what they want. i put to sleep one who attacked me suddenly. would i leave if you attack directly? come on boys! -are you really from mumbai or moosapet? you're carrying so many guns but not using one. i want him alive. uncle, i was telling you something which i stopped for these goons, i'll continue it now, -i'm breaking up with your daughter, i'm deleting her from here. did you see how it's coming out? i'll format my heart. forget about remembering, there won't be any trace of her. -leave him! he beat my brother right before my eyes. i'll not leave him. why did you bring me to my house? go uncle. -you're asking me to go. planning to get rid of me? your job is done, right? my job? i know, uncle. -why you came here? what you've done? what you're taking? i know everything. what's this? -to make me say i hate lavanya, do you've to make so many plans? to get me out of your daughter's life, do you've to commit so many crimes? i know your problem, uncle. that i'm right choice for your daughter. i'm not suitable to be your son-in-law. -you've decided it long back. instead of making your daughter hate me, it's easy to make me say i hate her, so you imported that mumbai gang, and made them narrate stories to me, you branded yourself a fraud, you made yourself a womanizer, got insulted as a defaulter, enacted fear of enemies, i know everything, you don't have any property, and that you're characterless, and if i know you've a threat, uninterested to enter troubled waters, you thought i'd leave your daughter, right? -but i didn't leave lavanya for those reasons, just because of you, after raising her for years how could she choose such a life partner, a girl who followed me and my diary, how could she follow this wastrel, without knowing you got angry on your daughter, a little sadness crept into you, to get rid it, though i knew you were playing a game, i wantonly was little harsh with lavanya, even today your daughter is not my lover, you've proved that she's still your daughter. there are many men who become fathers, but there are rare men who become role models to fathers, like you! -basically i never liked father and daughter relationship, after seeing you and lovely, my respect for it grew many times. i don't want to separate you father and daughter. to make your relationship win... you got strained all these days, take rest. i think affect of fight scene, little painful. -i didn't tell you about that fight, right? i knew you called them there to scare me. i knew they would only create a scene and never harm you. but still i beat them, you know why? the day i was called and told about the mumbai backdrop story, one amongst them... -he loves the daughter, right? kill her. man who took money from you to act here, blabbered about my lovely, sorry about your lovely, i didn't like him talking about her, i was drunk when they came here, right? -i got little emotional. when you visit them in hospital, tell them my inquiries. i hit them hard. tell them to forget it. bye. -double happiness which you give every time to your daughter, father's day tradition started for great fathers like you, to keep it alive, it must be on your hands, i said double happiness and surprized that i'm giving just one, i've already given you one, your daughter! -uncle, you didn't like me as a kid, you don't remember, right? hello doctor, heart is missing... you didn't like me then. you didn't like me now. i'm with you... my life in you... -but still why this distance between us? i breath you... i think about you only... though you've become me, why am i left alone? how my dear? -past is just a dream... should i hide the truth in myself? once when i asked why are you so affectionate on our daughter, you said take it as love or madness i don't mind, do you know what i felt then? i thought you madly love her. that's what i've been seeing all these years. -though i'm telling you she's sad, you're unmoved, i'm surprized, are you really you or not? you're right susheela, i'm not myself, from the moment i met him, i'm no more myself. okay. -why top talk about him now? there's a bit of hypocrisy in me, you and everyone. but i didn't see it in him. if lavanya has to agree, he knows well that i must approve him, he's clever enough to plan and enter my good books, but he never tried to impress me till now, he's as he was, he showed me his mischief and his habits, with just one thought of saving my daughter from him, -i donned many get ups, i tried by hook or crook or even threatened to get rid of him. but in that process i got corrupted, he was always clear, i filled my diary with many ideas about my daughter's future husband, but he wrote it here! may i tell you another great thing? -i always wanted to give double happiness to my daughter. but he gave me double happiness. he's the right choice for our daughter. my daughter's selection is perfect. i don't want him. -yes daddy, we don't want him. don't need. what happened, dear? your father ponders much before coming to a decision. you don't know mummy. -though he knows how much i love my daddy, he made daddy to do a lot of dirty work. did you wash the vegetables well? is it the way to cut it? work properly. what's that? -can he make you do all that? it's wrong dear. get a strong coffee for daddy. is this strong enough? i'm here, come out! -i'll see your end today. come out! what happened? i want your son-in-law to return my money. your speed has hit a speed breaker, boy! -i'll recover every penny with interest. if you talk about interest, you owe me rs.10 lakhs, uncle. didn't get me? like you paid me money on seeing with your daughter, you paid money on learning about your elder daughter's love, to a gang of goons, to get your elder married, i had to fight and engaged in chase at that age itself, -i worked very hard and spent a lot of money, you know? who will repay it? where's my elder daughter? tell me how is she? your elder daughter is none other than my sister-in-law. -she married my brother. is it? what dear? what did the doctor say? you gave me double happiness till now, dad, now i'm going to give you double happiness. -what's it? you're getting twins to play in near future. what a great news! hold it! stop! -no. get out of the way. get out. move. it is the tradition at passover to set free a prisoner, one chosen by the people. -you, the people of jerusalem, will decide. which of these two condemned men do you wish to see set free, jesus of nazareth or barabbas? barabbas. barabbas. -no. no! sorry, there's no more wine. i'm sorry. there's no more wine. -woman, my time has not yet come. come. do whatever he tells you. fill them with water. water. -what are you doing? i'll give you half. you can say barabbas took it all. i don't betray my master. put it back. -grapes, grapes, fresh grapes off the vine. no, i don't think so. well, try these then. freshest ones here. we've been here a week. -i hope not. tamar. tamar! i dropped my cup. people don't come here to drink. -take one of my girls. take as many as you like. how about you kick everybody out? i wanna be alone. choose any girl you wish. -everybody out. out. move. get out. out. -out. move. you don't even know what that is. get out. get out. -she doesn't understand about me. what are you doing? this is a brothel. you're not even doing anything. get out. -out. you are alone, barabbas. take sila, you've always liked her. no, i want the nameless one. what nameless one? -the one who's frightened of me. frightened of you? everyone who knows you is-- frightened of me? her, she trembles every time she sees you. -she does-- i want the nameless one. i am the nameless one. why the nameless one? because he asked me my name, and i didn't give it. but she's only a servant. -she doesn't know how to do what you want. she's less than worthless. what's your name? esther. pretty. -that's your share. it's a pittance. so, next time choose a better house to rob. barabbas, so he's alive. they said he was killed in damascus. -or in a fight in sidon or hung by the neck in tiro. you can't believe the rumors. barabbas always comes back. wherever there's a dead body, that where i'll find you two scavengers. welcome back, barabbas. -zealots. so busy looking for the messiah, they found death instead. everyone in judea is waiting for a messiah. they'll have to crucify the whole land. it might happen sooner or later. -under this roman governor, zealots are the enemies of rome with all this talk of rebellion and a messiah that's coming to liberate them with a sword of fire. well, these two won't be doing anymore talking, and that's what talking gets you. we should just kick the romans out. careful what you say. pilate's spies are everywhere. -the romans control the roads, control the caravans, control the city, everything there is, the taxes and the gold, seize the harvests, and they're making it difficult to steal. either you work for the romans and break your back for a pittance, or you end up like them. what do you two want out of life? wine, money and whores. same as him, but more whores. -well, you follow me, you'll have everything you need. you follow me, i'll make you rich. oh, wine, money and whores and whores and whores and whores... are you the caravan master? i am the oldest. -we come from sunem in galilee. well, if you are the master, then the lives of these people depend on you. we are all children of the same father. you know, i never had the chance to meet him. but the lord is with us always, and we are under his protection. -i don't think so. he would not had you meet me, barabbas. barabbas, we are traveling to jerusalem to offer sacrifices in the temple. you know, i never understood these sacrifices. it is the duty of every child of this land. -how do you make a sacrifice? one offers the victims to the lord in order to obtain his benevolence. so, you buy animals and sheep and doves, and you kill them? and you waste your money on this nonsense? it is tradition. -well, we're gonna have a change of plans. old man, today, you give your money to me. but the money for sacrifices is sacred. oh, i assure you, the money will be just as sacred with me. we are all children of god. -please, leave us in peace. drop your knives or sacrifices will be made right here and now. you reap what you sow. where is the money? no. -kill the woman. stop. stop it. stop. it's all here. -you're very generous. choose any girl you wish, even two, three, as many as you like. you may have her all night if you wish. well, she's mine... forever. a serving girl. -aren't you afraid of me? would it make any difference? well, yes. you are afraid of me. everyone is afraid of barabbas, everyone. -why not? it's a sin. yeah. that's why i like it. it would be against god's will. -god? now i've lost all desire. i don't want you or your god. i want a drink. go to sleep. -as i told you, follow me and i will make you fishers of men. i am a fisherman, always have been, but i don't understand what fishers of men means? answer me this: what is easier, to smile or to offend, to hit someone or to lend a helping hand? you can see better from here. -in your opinion, what pleases god more, to offend or to smile, to hit out or to come in peace? love your neighbor as you would yourself because your same pain is in the heart of those close to you as your same hope. i've never had the courage to hope. excuse me. i must go. -do you know what punishment awaits those who lie to the roman governor? i'm not on trial, am i? that depends. what am i accused of? you'd better say that you were mistaken, that you made it all up. -i can say whatever you would like me to say, my lord. that's better. but everyone in bethsaida--that is where i was born. everyone there knows me. -they know i was born blind. you faked being blind in order to beg. no. these eyes had never seen the light of day. my world was made up of things i could touch, taste. -ask anyone in bethsaida who knows me. they know how i have lived my life. ask rabbi elazir. he is my master at the synagogue. we won't ask anyone. -you are a treacherous people, plotting our downfall, everyone of you. no one can give sight to a man born blind. you are right, my lord. no one can do that, but i am the exception. and how do you think that is possible? -i don't know. i could hear people talking, shouting. i moved towards them. "what's going on?" i said. "what are you talking about? -who are you talking about?" "jesus," they said. but many people are called jesus. then they say, "jesus of nazareth." had you ever heard his name before? -no. never. not as a healer? as one who drives out demons? when i came close, someone pointed me out to him, and then i felt his hands on my eyes. -enough. you're repeating yourself. throw him in prison without light. you're used to the dark, aren't you? a leader sent down from heaven, a messiah to lead the revolt against the emperor. -if the people believe this nonsense, it will be the end for us. you don't believe in prophets, do you? you should rest, claudia. when did you last have a good sleep? you won't answer my question. -do you know who this child is? it isn't the child that i can't give you. not you, fate. it was our lot, that's all. the prophet talks of a child, a child who will bring light to the world. -you don't believe it, do you? you don't believe it can happen, that someone can restore sight to the blind. claudia, you must learn to distinguish. i govern this land on behalf of the roman emperor. you close your eyes in order not to see. -you don't want to see. you are blind and without hope. i need hope. i can't live without hope. i will request a transfer back to rome soon. -we cannot live in this land of rebels and fake prophets. isn't it what you always wanted, to return home? not now. i want to see with my own eyes, to hear with my own ears. is this about the rabbi of nazareth? -he's just one of the many who incite the crowd against us. stay close to me. i need you. you, get over that hill, on the road to jerusalem. if you see romans or herod's soldiers, you'll have time to warn me. -and you, after you water the horses, wait and sit under that tree, on guard. do you know how to play one of these? no. well, learn and keep playing until i come out of there. and if you stop playing, i'll know you asleep. -and if you're asleep, well, i'll know how to wake you. yeah. i brought you something. oh, what's the matter? aren't you hungry? -i take care of you, don't i? let me go. where? to see the man of nazareth, to hear him speak. he's got nothing to say. -then you shouldn't be afraid. afraid? i bought you. i can do what i want with you. what if you didn't come back? -why wouldn't i come back? what, you mean if someone kills me? if i die, how could you live? what have you got there? what is that? -must be worth a fortune. i pretend that my mother left it to me. pretend? i never knew her. like me, i didn't know mine either. -a slave merchant raised me, hate and fear. i asked for bread, he gave me stones. i asked for water, they whipped me. how can you believe in god? how can i not? -you can leave. go, leave. i don't care. just remember, without me, you have nothing. you have no one. -i have god. god. i saw how well you were doing with him only. he wasn't so good to you, was he? maybe he sent you to me. -then he is a cruel god. you are cleverer than your friend. now, you could be even richer and still alive. barabbas! stop. -death is too good for you, barabbas. water to wine, barabbas. the lord revealed his power. it's almost time for us to take up the sword and fight. and the messiah will lead us to victory, not you, barabbas. -all evil and all the filth of the world are burned in the fires of gahenna. please. please, don't run away. help me, please. he's trapped in the fire. -he's burning. help! barabbas? i need help, a little help. a little help, a few coins. -i need help, just a coin or two for my friend. he's hurt. i have no coins with me. how else can i help you? i need ointments, medicinal herbs. -you can take this. this is too much. thank you. please, let me come with you. it's better i go in alone. -this is no place for you. let me help, please. please. burn. burn. -burn all the... burn all the evil of the world. form up, form up, move! i never would have dreamed this land would yield us so much. rome is never satisfied. -today, two of our people were stabbed in the back. i was told. they hate us more every day. i know of an entire village in the south burned to the ground by your soldiers. they were hiding zealots, claudia, the very same people who would love to kill us. -i don't want you going to the city on your own. i'll give you an escort. i don't need an escort. do you really believe this jesus of nazareth will protect you or the god you talk so much about? hope. -what are you doing? leave, get away from me. get away from me. move. move. -why did you save me? you're free. you don't want me anymore? you make me forget who i am. you make me weak. -i don't know why. i can't allow that. don't accumulate riches in this world. woodworms and rust destroy everything, and thieves take whatever is left. it's better to accumulate your riches in heaven. -thieves don't go there to steal. where you find your riches, there you will also find your heart. we have dates and plates. this is not enough. stop them! -drop your weapons. which of you is barabbas? that's him. they killed him. this is barabbas. -let the other one go. he's the one we want. our leader wants to see you. watch your enemy's eyes. that way, you can see if he's afraid or about to strike. -your eyes are telling you you're tired. you must mask your tiredness. go. do you know who i am? we need money for the war in rome. -i took it from rome. it's mine. we need more. so go get it. i need men like you. -you don't know who i am. you are barabbas. there are so many stories about you. you would need a hundred lives. who are you really? -i am who i am. i know what you could become. i like being barabbas. it is your life, but how will you respond when the messiah summons you to free our land? messiah is a fable for the defeated. -i don't believe in fables. he will believe in you and summon you to his side. i'll worry about that when and if that day comes. this is for the money you stole for us. it is a sign of the essene, my people. -the essene? the essene don't fight wars. they don't kill. they don't seek riches. they wait. -they wait for a man who brings peace. that's why i left them. i believe in a warrior messiah who'll lead us to ultimate victory. you know the way to our camp now. i should kill you. -i'm not afraid to die. give him wine and bread and let him go. you will return. maybe not. you come back here! -his name is licinio tellure. in just a few years, he has become one of the richest men in all syria. he is the son of a roman general, born and raised abroad, and he's a big crook like his father. a valued client, i assume. huh. -not even all my girls are enough for him. he has asked me for others and he pays double. what's he doing in jerusalem? he has just returned from leptis magna. they say that he and the governor have agreed to share their taxes, a mountain of gold, which he keeps in his house. -where is esther? you chased her away. now you want her back. shut up. i bought her. -she's mine. oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. she's yours and you don't know what happened to her? ha. she's the maid of some carpenter in nazareth. -he fools the people with his tricks, and she, along with other equally crazy women, serves him hand and foot, cleans everything. to think i wanted to make her a prostitute. you should have seen the look on their faces. i could not tell you. never seen him before in my life. -come join us if you wish. barabbas, i told you you would return. you said you needed money. not for me, for the struggle. there's a mountain of gold. -the gold of leptis magna. what do you know about it? it's amazing what you can learn simply by listening. meaning what? take it. -it's yours. i can't do it alone. you can't? it's impossible. so you need others? -i need you and your men. we can share it equally. and then what will you do? more money, more wealth, more gold? what about you? -more wars, more weapons, more blood? i'm preparing the way for he who will come. the messiah will free us with his sword of fire. this is my answer. i don't know if it is what you seek. -barabbas is not one of us, but we need him as he needs us. after that, we'll go our separate ways. this man is a criminal! his hands are covered in blood. his life is a sacrilege. -and rather than accept him among us, we should kill him. the fires of gahenna didn't work. you want to try again? enough! give me the knife. -no one tells me what to do. you think you're free? i am free! you wanna be free? you are a slave to the violence within you. -it serves me well enough. that is the way of the animal. if you know when to stop, then you're a man. didn't your father teach you that? my-- forget it. -it was very easy for you to talk like that. i never had someone teach me anything. i never had a father. then you have much to learn. get some sleep. -choose the best. me? you know better than i do what we're going up against. well, if we wanna to get into licinio tellure's villa to steal his gold, we have to become gladiators. how many men will it take? -three, not including us. that's all? if this works, the fewer, the better. and if it doesn't? we die. -tell me who you want as if you were the leader. well, these two and him, the one that brought me in. dan, gad and setur. this is the house. this is the temporary arena they're building, games for his rich friends. -all of the exits, all of the guards are facing outward to repel an attack from the outside. but we, as gladiators, will attack from the inside. so what do you do here? i wash, clean, prepare the food for him. and you, why are you here? -i don't know. i wanted to see you. why? i wanted to make sure you're all right. here with them, lots of things happen that i don't understand. -i hear them talk. i see the people who go to him. it all seems so new. believe in nothing. those who believe in something get hurt more. -will you be back? i don't know. what i have to do, i might die. the gold and-- the gold? -only fools die for gold. only fools live poor. i'm no fool. barabbas, he teaches another way. there is no other way. -there's only survival. it's never been different, never will be. you take as much as you can while you live, and then it's over and nothing, except, maybe, love. the only thing i truly care about, the only thing is my reputation. -ask anyone, from gaul to numidia to asia minor, they will all say that the name of druso pollione is a guarantee. my gladiators must be prepared to kill and be killed. they asked me for five, five worthy of the challenge for this rich roman's party. i don't want to know who you are nor where you come from. i don't care if you are killers escaped from prison or valorous soldiers. -but i want you to know that this is your last chance. 20,000 sesterces will go to the winner, to he who is still standing after fighting the great gladiators from rome. i want to see you in action, so i may choose the very best. the weapons are blunted. i want to see viciousness and determination, but no blood. -not yet anyway. attack. stop. stop! it's enough. -i told you, it's enough! take him. wild animals like you can be useful, but they must learn to recognize their master. i am your master. three days in the cell, without food and water. -you shouldn't have done that. he was going to kill you. you almost ruined all of our plans. the plan will fail without you. you're wrong. -no one is indispensable. three of us can succeed. druso chose me and dan. what about setur? setur is out, along with one of the nubians, the two thracians and the syrian. -i managed to convince druso that without you, the party would not live up to its expectations. you won't get another chance to learn the lesson and to think, to think before acting. what if my plan fails? what then? then you die. -your men need you. too late. the lord does not abandon his children in their hour of need. tell me what you feel. feel? -why? by the time the sun rises, we all might be dead. fear never worked for me. i believe in force alone. no one is alone, not if he fights together with others. -you know what i want. you'll get your gold. good. nothing else matters. you're playing blind, barabbas, despite having eyes to see with. -i just want you with me. i told you i love you, love you, love you so. yeah! these who are about to die salute you! let the games begin! -go. go. go. go. go. -good luck. nothing happens by chance, barabbas. go! kill him! kill! -kill. kill. kill. kill. kill. -and now, from rome, caius turius. and from jerusalem, barabbas. let's see if you've learned anything. don't. don't do it. -no. he killed him. i did not signal. he's an animal, my lord. uncontrollable. -he will fight again. now, put your last winner against him. now. yes, my lord. i will. -you will die for this. tonight, you will die. kill him. wait. he's gone. -stay down. the romans don't even come up here to collect the taxes. and if they did, only the lord is privy to man's actions. careful. this is where our paths separate. -i don't know when i'll see you again. you're a better man than you think, barabbas. you do have a destiny. you must allow yourself to see it. go. -dan, do you believe in destiny? i believe in god, and i believe that he knows what he wants from each of us. if that is destiny, then, yes, i believe. in here? there is nothing. -we are poor people. we have nothing to hide. commander, i beg you. we keep the teachings of god in there. blood begets blood. -i believe you have something i want. you're an adulteress, admit it. go on, admit it now! yes, but please, have pity on me. i have a small son. -i have a son. no, please. please. this woman was caught committing adultery. the law of moses commands us to stone her. -you say you wish to uphold law to the letter. tell us, what must we do? let he who is without sin cast the first stone. stop. wait. -pilate, you shouldn't be seen with someone like me. with you, i feel comfortable. you don't judge me. i don't mean to be rude, but you don't seem happy. you're the wife of the governor, you have everything. -he was different when i married him. he had dreams. he encouraged me to dream. now, he lives off hate and fear. he's tormented by rome, by judea, by all his responsibilities. -he protects you. it means he worries about you. i'm just one of his many worries. you shouldn't say that. i'm sure he loves you. -i failed him. i didn't give him what he wanted most, what i wanted, a child. it was jesus who gave me a reason to hope again. thank you. he frightens me. -why? the love he talks of. it's not the love you feel for another person. it's a love that i'm afraid to understand. it's too big. -you're in love, aren't you, esther? the man you saved. i don't know where he is, but i did see him again. tell me. this is what i took from you at cana. -you cannot erase the past. what happened happened. how would you restore the lives you took? save it for them. that's my share. -i need nothing. when you see kedar, you tell him-- kedar has been captured. the romans have him. the romans have captured kedar. -we need to go. all right. mount up. come on, get up to you horses. move. -i call to you, oh, lord. listen to me, listen to my cry for help. i raise my hands to you and beg you to heed my prayer. this is no time to pray. he who has faith will see the power of the messiah. -oh, lord, my strength, my rock, my fortress, my shield, my savior. you will lead us in battle again. you are our hope. i leave you my faith in the messiah, he will come to lead us. i want you to know that with you, -i've seen what life would've been like if i'd had a father. attacked by overwhelming enemy forces. better still: attacked with the complicity of the local population by overwhelming enemy forces. i would have preferred to die with my men. -a wonderful sentiment. untie me. he left me alive so that you would know that zealots will continue the struggle. and if a leader falls, others will be ready to take up his sword. who? -barabbas. his name is barabbas. barabbas, a dead man. a gladiator? i was told it was him. -was he wounded? i don't know, but it's the law of the arena. but it isn't god's law. no, it isn't god's law. esther... -they killed him, didn't they? thank god you're alive. you're alive. they saw you fight in the arena. i was afraid i'd never see you again. -i'm here now. and then one day he said to me, "you will bear witness to me." what does bear witness to me mean? i don't know. -ask him. i've seen how you follow him around. i've seen how you look at him. you're jealous. i don't know the meaning of the word jealous. -what do i have to be jealous of? you owe me nothing. i owe you more than you can imagine. you do? good. -what does that mean? i'm with child. child? esther... this is no time for children. i ask you nothing. -how can a man without a home, a criminal bound for a cross raise a child? i will return to jerusalem and find somewhere to live. you will come to me when you can. i don't want him to know his father. that is why i'm here. -the zealots need men that are willing to fight. i will let you talk to the men. thank you. the word of the prophet isaiah. the spirit of the lord god is upon me. -he has chosen me to take his message to the poor. he sent me to proclaim the release of the prisoners, to restore sight to the blind, to free the oppressed, to announce the time in which the laws will be favorable. today, for you who've heard me, this prophecy will come true. what are you saying, that you are the messiah? blasphemy. -take him away! it's an outrage! throw him out. he's a liar. lord, if you had been here, my brother would still be alive. -where did you bury him? lord. you have come. you have come. rabbi. -remove the stone. lord? he's been in there for four days. his body will have started to decompose. remove the stone. -lazarus, come out. it's lazarus. he's alive. it's a miracle. from the dead, pontius, from the dead. -raised from the dead. what do you want me to do, write to the emperor? i will write to say that there is a man here in palestine capable of raising the dead. is that what you want? that pilate becomes the laughing stock of rome? -that he's gone mad because of his failure to maintain law and order. that's all that bothers you. it must bother me. too often, you forget that i am the governor of these lands. sometimes i'd rather not talk to the governor. -sometimes i wish i could talk to the man who took me at 16 years of age from my father's house and who swore to love me. i've never stopped loving you. in spite of everything, is that what you mean? in spite of a fact that i am no longer the woman i was? and now you think i've gone mad. -i wholly believe that we all need strong motives to survive, and you need to believe in that man's miracles. but what this jesus of nazareth does, what he says, true or false, it's a fire consuming everything in its path. and we must stop him, before he consumes us, too. do you really love me? yes, i do. -then promise me you'll do nothing to harm him. i will do as you wish. i've been expecting you. they will never go out. more will come tomorrow and the days after. -they will light more and more to keep the memory alive. memory of what? what exactly happened here, esther? jesus called for lazarus to come out of the tomb, and he came back from the dead. then he was not dead. -i heard jesus ask martha, that's lazarus' sister, "who do you think i am?" and she answered, "i believe you are the messiah, you're the son of god who has come into the world." keep it. oh, thanks. -are you jesus of nazareth? and who are you? i'm barabbas of jerusalem. so are you also traveling to jerusalem? is that where you going? -well, don't, there's danger. what danger? the priests of the temple say that, because of lazarus, the people believe in you and they would follow you anywhere. how did you hear of this? our people are everywhere. -the zealots? they say you want to be crowned king of israel. and what do you think, barabbas? i think if that is true, then everyone in this land is ready to fight for you. to fight. -yes, fight, led by a messiah with a sword of fire. do you believe in the messiah? i believe in a leader who will come to liberate his people. and this messiah is a warrior? all over this land, there are thousands of fires of rebellion. -the people are just waiting for a sign. what i say, what i do, is there for all to hear and see. well, say the word and you will be king of israel. no, my kingdom is not of this earth. did you not say that with you, all the prophecies would be fulfilled? -i heard you. my kingdom is not of this earth. what are you saying? it is here on earth where we need a messiah who will fight for our freedom. do you not understand that? -did you not say that you were the son of the almighty? charlatan. you are not the messiah. you do not have a kingdom. master, we have to go. -you have nothing. politician. you are a politician. those who believe will wake up sooner or later. do you hear that? -they acclaim him as the king of israel. it's none of my business. he doesn't threaten the interest of rome. to proclaim oneself the son of god is an intolerable sacrilege. according to your laws perhaps, not ours. -you're wrong. i know rome better than you. i fear it will mean certain rebellion in every village in israel. i have enough man to crush any rebellion. no one will stop them if they believe the messiah has come. -i see no armies ready to follow him. your wife was seen among those who listen to him. we wouldn't be masters of the world if we didn't take an interest in everything. we will all pay for your mistake. meaning? -this evil must be stopped. you go talk to herod. sort it out amongst yourselves. my lord, i have information for you. who are you? -what do you want? there's going to be an insurrection. an insurrection against rome? yes, during passover. are you sure? -yes, i've overheard barabbas speak of it. barabbas. it's madness to believe anything that criminal says. which is why i'm here, my lord. barabbas believes in nothing. -he will lead everyone to their death. do you know where i can find him? here in the city, my lord. right now, in front of the sanhedrin, with the crowd waiting to hear if jesus of nazareth will be acquitted or condemned. and then caiaphas approached the nazarene and said, -"in the name of the living god, i entreat you to tell us if you are the messiah, the christ, the son of god." and he answered, "your words, not mine." get him. get him he's up there. after him. -out of the way. barabbas, come. here, in there. no, there's no one. esther! -esther! run. if you are the messiah, why not bring these prison walls down around you? why not? messiah, why not? -why not bring these prison walls down around you? esther. esther. move. it's is the tradition at passover to set free a prisoner, one chosen by the people. -you, the people of jerusalem, will decide. which of these two condemned men do you wish to see set free, jesus of nazareth or barabbas? jesus of nazareth or barabbas? no. please. -no! my lord, please. move! please, stop them. i can't. -jesus is innocent. it doesn't depend on me. then who? who if not you? who's in charge here, who? -the law. the people had to decide, and they decided. they're afraid, pontius. don't you understand? they still have no idea who he is. -if they had believed in him, they would have saved him. you shouldn't have let it happen. i followed the law, claudia. no stupid law will ever be enough to justify your allowing this to happen. don't let her out of your sight. -what has any of this achieved? what's the point of not taking up the sword and fighting for what you believe in? you want to go back to jail? get out of here before someone realizes a mistake has been made. you'll get what's coming to you. -messiah? i heard you speak. your a fraud! you fake. no. -no water. barabbas, i'm judas, one of jesus' disciples. we need to talk. listen to me, barabbas. the moment has come. -what are you talking about? god wants us to take up arms. the messiah chose to die rather than do that. you must tell everyone. you must tell everyone the truth. -what truth? that god guided my hand, that through me he led jesus to his death and he did it because you were the man with the sword. you, barabbas. you are the messiah. you must tell them. -shut up. you must tell them the truth. get out of here. tell them all. you must tell him about god, the god of weapons. -tell him that he has chosen you, that jesus was needed just to prove that peace is impossible without violence. that's why you were there, why you were saved, to show the world that you are the chosen one, that he wants your sword, barabbas. you're the reason god had me hand jesus over to the priests of the temple. because you are the chosen one. you will be the one to lead israel to victory. -tell him. tell who? peter. come with me. go now. -tell him everything. peter? huh? oh. have you come to kill me? -kill you? no. three times i was afraid, and i denied him three times. i was a coward, just as he predicted. i offered him my sword and he refused it and then he took my place on the cross. -i am barabbas. barabbas. his kingdom is not of this world. a dead king has no kingdom. everything has been fulfilled as it was written. -why did he not save himself? why was i spared? uh...only faith can answer your question. faith? faith in what? -what faith? we are still under the thumb of rome. you must have faith in him. he is a dead man, peter. he is not dead and he is not a man. -god's will has been done. father into your hands i command my spirit. my son, what have they done to you? you must go now. please let me stay. -our orders are to keep people away. but what are they afraid of? i don't know. i'm following orders. what do you want? -isn't what happened enough for you? go away and leave us. i said go away! wait. what do you want, barabbas? -just to talk...to you. why did you come to me? why did he die in my place? because he wanted it this way. i don't understand that. -only faith can answer your question. faith in what? in him. if he wanted me to have faith in him, he would have taken up the sword against the romans. it's not the sword, barabbas. -he'll forgive you. forgive me for what? it's not my fault that they killed your son. i'm sorry. i'm just sorry. -you should have died on the cross. not jesus. the cross is a symbol of suffering. suffering? yes. -i can't think of anything other than his suffering. don't touch me, please. it's over, claudia. over? he is dead. -he isn't dead. i wish that were so. i wish i could tell you he was alive, but it's pointless to deny the truth. he will return. what are you saying? -exactly what he said. he will. esther? barabbas! i'm so happy you're alive. -let's leave this place, you and me, right now. i can't leave. why not? you really don't understand. you don't understand why you're still alive? -nothing will be as it was before, barabbas. your place is with me. no. my life is here with them. they need me. -but i... i need you. i need you. i'll be here whenever you wish to see me. esther, these people are almost dead. -you staying here makes no sense. jesus taught me blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. what about our child? you don't care about him either? i come to visit him every evening to pray with him. -what happened? the day they arrested you, i fell. our son was lost. then i understood that the lord doesn't want me to have children, that he wants me to help the sick and the dying. he doesn't exist, esther. -you exist, i exist. even our child existed. i wish i'd protected him and loved him the way i can you now, so come away with me, please. gheena is my home now and then i want to take care of those who suffer. -come away with me. you're the only man i've ever loved... but now i owe my life to jesus. this is the house of lazarus? i don't know who you're talking about. i met jesus of nazareth. -my name is barabbas. wait a moment, barabbas. i knew you would come. well, thank you for seeing me. to be honest, i hope you can help me understand. -what do you need to understand? jesus was condemned to death for raising me from the dead. and in dying, he wanted your life to be saved instead of his. why were you and i chosen so that he could find death? in the village where i was born, there was a man, a doctor, who kept herbs that were capable of inducing sleep similar to death. -perhaps there's nothing to understand, lazarus. that is why i decided not to meet with any of those who come here to see me, to ask me questions, because i can't demonstrate anything. yet you believe. i was dead and he brought me back to life. if you really were dead, then i beg you, tell me, what is this death from which you say jesus saved you? -i don't know. it was like waking up from a dreamless sleep. when i opened my eyes, i was alive. it was as though i'd come back from nothing. that's it? -nothing? i ask myself every day how can i be so sure, so incredibly sure that it's all true, that jesus really came and freed me from the grip of death. and have you found your answer? nothing can convince someone who doesn't want to believe. because there's nothing to believe. -he will return, barabbas. i know he will. he is dead. he does not exist. and the fact that you're alive, the fact that i'm alive, that means nothing in your opinion? -i am nothing. i live the life of a thief. i should have died like a thief. why that changed, i have no idea. but what i do know is that you, like so many others who idolize him, are either deceived or insane. -i'm sorry. jesus was condemned to death for raising me from the dead. and in dying, he wanted your life to be saved instead of his. why were you and i chosen so that he could find death? you must tell everyone. -you must tell everyone the truth. that god guided my hand, that through me he led jesus to his death and he did it because you were the man with the sword. you, barabbas, you are the messiah. that's why you were there, why you were saved, to show the world that you are the chosen one, that he wants your sword, barabbas. you're the reason god had me hand jesus over to the priests of the temple. -my kingdom is not of this earth. he is not dead and he is not a man. you don't understand why you're still alive? nothing will be as it was before, barabbas. because you are the chosen one. -you will be the one to lead israel to victory. barabbas! the romans are looking for you again to put you back in prison. gather the men. i want to talk to them now. -god wanted me to live instead of jesus. well, from this moment on, my sword will be at his service until all of our people meet their final victory. the time of false prophecies has passed. soon no one will remember the name of the nazarene, but they will remember-- i have heard that jesus' followers have remembered his sermons and mean to spread his every word to the four winds. -god wanted jesus to die, which is why-- they say he will rise again. i'm alive here, now. if god wanted me to live, it's because he wants me to continue the struggle. -are you saying that you are the messiah? i'm ready to do anything in my power to be worthy of the task at hand. now rome must know that we are willing to strike at the heart of its power at any moment. what do you want to do? kill pontius pilate. -this is madness, barabbas. well, those of you who don't want to, you can pull out now. jesus! jesus! what is it? -jesus, his body, it's gone from the sepulcher! what do you mean it's gone? barabbas, it's happened. look. what's happened? -they say an angel descended from heaven and he was wearing a cloak of fire and that he thrust his spear between the stone and the rock and opened the sepulcher. jesus has risen from the dead. what have you done with him? what do you mean? you honestly think that i would believe this? -he is risen. jesus has risen from the dead just as he promised. why won't you believe it? what about the men guarding the sepulcher? i've had them locked up in solitary confinement. -you can see them when you want. first i want to go there and see what happened myself. pontius! i must go. i want to see. -jesus has risen. you can't stop me. it's too dangerous, claudia. i will not let you risk your life to follow this madness. see that my wife is sent back to her rooms. -why is it dangerous? what are you going to do? i will find those who violated the tomb and stole the body. nothing can oppose the will of god. i will not allow anyone to threaten the power of rome. -a body stolen from right under our noses. how is that possible? i have sent the best men to find and arrest those guilty of this outrage. they found him here this morning. did he say he believed that jesus came back from the dead? -he was convinced that jesus had returned to seek vengeance against him. did he say anything to you? he said that god told him to betray jesus. god told him? that is what you get when you believe in jesus. -upstairs. he is not alone. how many of them are there? three. you sure he's the right man? -he keeps boasting about how he arrested the soldiers guarding the sepulcher. try and keep your mouth shut. i told her my name, but she forgot. i can't believe she forgot my name. you sent those melons? -i paid for three. they need names. betty, rosanna, and-- what is all this noise? tell us what you know about the nazarene's body. -do you know where they've hidden it? no. well, what do you know? i know the soldiers guarding the sepulcher weren't drunk. the wine is just the official story. -where are they? they've been isolated to stop them from talking to anyone. maybe i want to talk to them. that's impossible. and next time, be more careful about what you tell the whores. -what do you want? take off your clothes. you have to go. i forgot my sword. you're lucky we're not at war. -you. what do you want? i want to see men in custody, the ones who were guarding the sepulcher. pontius pilate's orders. i've never seen you before. -i'm from jaffa. i'm to command an escort charged with putting them on a ship to rome. since when is a centurion allowed to wear a beard? i'm mourning the death of my father. he was killed in an ambush by zealots. -i'm sorry. thank you. hey, i know you. you're barabbas-- come here. -get up. you're not going to scream and i'm not going to gut you. do we understand each other? who are you? i want to know what happened. -are you one of them? one of jesus' followers? were you drunk that night? no, none of us were drinking. so what happened? -did you fall asleep? were you attacked? no. then what? we were blinded. -blinded? suddenly there was a light, a powerful light, and we couldn't see a thing. when i woke up, the sepulcher was empty. and that's it? that's it? -maybe he really was the messiah the jews talk about. they are going to kill them. kill who? all of them, all who follow him. pilate's orders. -kill the followers of the nazarene. thank you. esther? esther? esther? -esther? you're barabbas, aren't you? esther told me so much about you. then you know her. can you take me to her? -there are so many of us here now, esther has gone to jerusalem to bring comfort to the beggars at the ghicon springs. what happened? why do you ask? you must leave this place. -why? what is it? they will persecute you. i don't understand. the romans, they fear you. -the scribes and the priests, they hate you and they will now you must hide and you must stay hidden till we succeed in stopping them. you mustn't be afraid. jesus has risen from the dead and will soon come among us to free us from death. her! -for days now, she's been preaching nonsense, spreading lies, idolatry, and blasphemy, the worst of evils. i know this woman. she killed her newborn baby. it's not true. i didn't kill my baby. -i didn't kill anyone. aah! stop it! stop! my lord god... -you're here. so this is what you wanted for me. this is my testimony. no. what curse? -what madness? what have you done for him? is everyone ready? we're ready. then what's wrong? -i don't see valerio flacco. why isn't he leading the escort? well, good. it'll be easier then. are you sure? -as sure as the people of jerusalem who chose me over jesus. and i'm also sure that i'm not going to shrink from my destiny. i'm with you. then in the name of the people of judea... it's over, barabbas. -you've no idea how much i'd like to cut your throat, but one of your gods must really love you. pontius pilate wants you alive. if the law made any sense, he would be crucified this very day. but your religious customs do not allow a man who was pardoned during passover to be executed and the current political climate in rome cannot afford to offend the religious customs of the jewish population. you will spend the rest of your life in prison. -you will be given bread and water every two days. you will sleep on the bare stone floor and you will never see the light of day. you will know nothing other than solitude and silence. you will regret not being executed. what do you want? -i know esther. esther's dead. (muffled screaming) (loud knocking) (music stops, keys jingle) -(woman crying, loud knocking continues) (crying) calm down, okay? calm down! (sobbing) -all right, hang on a second. i'm gonna put you on speaker. go ahead, baby girl. what you got? ask and you shall receive. -i widened my search, got a hit. one rudi stein had an affinity for hammering and chewing on hookers in new york. convicted in '89. had a massive stroke right there in the sing sing prison yard, died last july. that mo is too similar to what we've seen not to be related. -but the timeline doesn't fit. stein got locked up over 20 years ago. what if the mentor got mentored himself? so you think stein mentored our older unsub? and the unsub learned his skills in prison. -there's a reason they call it "crime u." if the guy who took the time to mentor him suddenly died, that could have triggered his need to pay it forward. hotch: garcia, i need everything you've got on rudi stein-- cellmates, relatives, known associates, anything you can find. will do. -stay tuned. i'm out. toby, what are you doing here, man? (chuckles) like my new ride? what are you talking about? -you don't even have a driver's license. come check out the back. (toby laughs) '(screaming) shut up! -remember what i told you. (hollie cries) nice, huh? just like you showed me. she'll do whatever i say. -what the hell are you doing, man? (loud knocking) dude, it's hollie. your boss? yeah. -and you brought her here? yeah, we can take her out in the boat like the others. are you out of your mind? you watch the news? the fbi's in town. -(scoffs) bitch fired me today. how many times have we been over this? never somebody you know, and never where you live. is this her car? yeah. -oh, my god! hotch: go ahead, garcia. sir, i've got something. from 2002 to 2006, -rudi stein shared a work detail with a david roy turner. he's a miami resident. now, it must have been a match made in heaven, because they remained pen pals after turner was released. what was turner in for? garcia: -he assaulted an underage male prostitute. so, he has a preference for younger boys. explains why he chose a teenage apprentice. you got an address? uh, yeah, i already sent them. -i got a home and two work addresses. uh, turner works as a groundskeeper for the miami-dade parks and rec, and he's also a part-time bartender. morgan, blake, and reid, take the residence. the rest of us will take the work address. (tires squealing) -it's clear. clear. clear! there's nobody here. (phone rings) -hi, papi chulo, what's up? morgan: hey, good-looking. i got david roy turner's laptop in front of me. can you pull everything off of it? -in my sleep. power it up, let's go. (beeping) get her inside. where are you going? -i'm gonna get the boat ready. gonna be sweet. sweet? no. no, no, sweet is what you get when you do things right. -work is what you get when you do things wrong, and this is all wrong. why are you being such a bitch about this? 'cause you broke every rule in the book, toby, and we went over the book. now, get her inside before you really piss me off. you at least gonna help me carry her? -you made your bed. lie in it. hey, morgan, take a look at this stuff. two different closets filled with this stuff, all unopened and unused. well, no dog lives here. -i don't see a bowl, a crate, a leash, nothing. everything was purchased from hal's pet shop. i found these under his bed. haven't gone through every one, but they go back to 2006. morgan: -well, that's the year turner was released from prison. could be a habit he picked up inside. loves sports, he's into leisure and travel, and he is a big fan of murder. it's not random. he has individual sections for each case. -it gets better. morgan: this guy was tracking the animal murders. yup, every one of them. hell, guys -blake: that looks like the boy from the composite sketch. morgan: whoever the kid is, turner's obsessed with him. (phone rings) -hey, mama, tell me something good. well, i cleaned out this nut bag's laptop. the guy was a torture porn connoisseur. i mean, the dude makes rick james seem amish. i also looked at his e-mails and social networks. -he's been in touch a lot with a toby whitewood, and by a lot, i mean, a couple, three times a day for the last year. and what do you got on whitewood? garcia: he is a 15-year-old sophomore at mckinley high school. his parents divorced two years ago. -he lives with his mom, claire. that about it. he's squeaky clean. garcia, what about employment or volunteer activities? pause. -he works part-time at hal's pet shop. blake: you got a picture of the kid? sent. (beeping) -morgan: garcia, that's him. you got an address? yup, work address has been sent to you. home address is actually closer to the hotch. -thanks. reid: that explains how he got close to toby. somehow, he figured out who was committing the animal murders. he stalked him at his job and eventually, earned his trust. -(hollie cries) at least help me get her on the boat? yeah, i'll do it. you, uh... you clean the car. use the supplies in that locker, and when i say clean, i mean spic and span. -then we take her out on the boat? we are not gonna do anything. i'm gonna take her out on the boat, and i'm gonna get rid of her, and you are gonna get rid of that car. toby: -what? that's not fair. she's mine. (hollie cries) no. no. no, no. -the second you brought her over to my house, she became mine. now go. (hollie cries) did you not hear me? you know, you don't tell me what to do. -you're not my father. no. your father bailed on you and your mom 'cause he couldn't deal. me- i'm the guy that got you through it. -don't act like you did me some big favor. i know exactly what you wanted, perv. what's that, tobe? you think that i don't see the way you look at me? i'm not stupid, you know. -i should have trusted my gut. you don't have it in you. you're nothing but a sad little loser. you're an old ex-con that likes hanging out with kids. and, uh, i'm the loser? -you're a waste of my time. (hollie crying) david: get out of here. come with me, pretty girl. -(hollie sobbing) (grunts) (toby grunts) (sobbing) (hollie screams, cries) -(knocking) claire whitewood? yes. we're with the fbi. we're looking for toby. -he's not here. you know where he is? i haven't seen him since this morning. what did he do? morgan: -yeah, go ahead, garcia. what do you got? garcia: two things. one- -david roy turner's father, nate-- he was a boat mechanic. he owned a repair shop. uh, he died 12 years ago, but according to public records, it's still in his name. yes, i just sent you the address. -(phone beeping) yeah, i got it. hang on, guys. (tires screeching) (engine revving) -(siren blaring) blake: what was the second thing, garcia? the second thing is that the manager at the pet store where toby works at was just reported missing by her fiancé, and her name is hollie riggio. if toby had anything to do with the girl's disappearance, then his victim preference is changing. -or the prostitutes were just practice for the girl he really wanted. (sobbing) you know, the old guy was right. taking my time to see that look in your eyes is worth it. you see, in here? -(sobbing continues) i'm the boss. you know about being the boss, don't you? (sobbing) get away from me! -hollie: no. hmm? no, no! all right. -all right. no. no, no. no. no! -no! (muffled sobbing) (choking) (gasping for air) i gave you everything. -(toby grunts loudly) (grunting, gasping) oh, my god. my god, i can't believe this is happening. it's like we're cursed or something. -i know this is a lot. and we are here to help you however we can. is there anything i can get you? hotch: three years ago, -toby and his 17-year-old sister were carjacked. the assailant took them to a remote location, where he repeatedly raped toby's sister, and then bludgeoned her to death. but he let toby live. his mother just told us that toby confessed to not screaming or running because he actually liked watching. -he said it aroused him. it was a single event imprint. that was his trigger. then we're dealing with two psychopaths. and if they're both at the boat house location, then neither one of them's gonna go quietly. -(david grunting, toby gasping for air) (david sighs) (hollie sobbing) (david sighs) here. -come on, come on. it's okay. oh, please... come on. it's okay. -he's gone now. please, please let me go. please. he's gone. shh, shh. -it's okay. he's just a... he's just a hard-headed little kid. he didn't know better. i guess that reflects poorly on me? -(sobbing) um... i don't know. uh, it's just, uh... ah, okay. -but he did tell me what a bitch you were to him. hollie: no! (sobbing) and despite what you just saw... -i cared very deeply for that boy. no... so...? hmm? morgan: -fbi! drop it! david roy turner? (hollie sobbing) put the weapon down right now. -i already been to prison. (hollie screams) (gunshots) (hollie sobs) (phone ringing) -this is agent hotchner. yes, what can i do for you? thank you very much. what is it? dallas p.d. discovered an unidentified male body with the mouth sewn shut. -like the silencer. he's dead. it's obviously a copycat. dallas division is into it. they said they'd keep us in the loop. -(birds chirping) man: come on, get a hit! man 2: ...like a half hour or so. -fire that one in now, come on! woman: oh, i did... morgan: oh, get out of here! -hey, pretty boy! reid: hey. you made it. i like that. -you bring a glove? glove? i don't own shorts. okay, don't even worry about it, kid. i got an extra one. -dyson's wife had her baby last night. ah. so, today is your day to play second base. wait. what? -uh-huh. i can't play second base. oh, yes, you can. you're gonna. no such thing as can't, kid. -garcia: go team! (whoops) reid: oh, hey... what are you guys doing here? -oh, we were not gonna miss this for the world. morgan: great day for it. awesome. so, the secret service, huh? -yeah, yeah, we haven't beat these chumps in five years. they've got nothing to do but practice. and party- morgan: all right, there he is! -oh, yeah... morgan: all right, let's go, baby! (cheering, whistling) (indistinct chatter) -(whooping, cheering) come on, spence! you can do it! rossi: all right. -garcia: just breathe. strike one! strike two! garcia: -keep your eye on the ball! yeah, there we go. strike three! you're out! that's it, you got that. -come on. (cheering) man: five under. that's no good. -come on. (cheering) woman: come on! rossi: -you can do it! you can do it! you can do this! hey, this guy can't hit! bring it in! -all the way in! time out! time out! morgan: time out! -where you going? come on. come on, baby, you can do it! okay, listen to me, kid. look at me. -all right. it is the bottom of the ninth. there's two outs, and we are losing by one run. okay? you are the guy, reid. -no, i'm not. yes. all you have to do is get it over their heads. now, i will score, and then you run like hell. here's the thing. -i've been doing the calculations. force equals mass... reid, stop. stop. get out of your head. -all the physics in the world will not work unless you just let it flow. i don't know if i can. you remember all those unpleasant childhood sports memories? okay, right now, you can erase all of it for good. kid, stop thinking. -just feel it. okay. you got this. okay? thanks. -you got this. let's go. (exhales) (cheering, indistinct, overlapping chatter) come on, pretty boy! -rossi (chanting): he's the man, he's the man. strike one! rossi: it's all right. -atta boy, atta boy. it's okay. it's okay. (overlapping shouting) you got to believe it! -rossi: you can drive 'em in, come on! fetch. you can drive 'em in, baby. come on. -umpire: strike two! this guy's got nothing! rum run! -run! run, run, run, run! come on, go! (indistinct shouting, cheering) yes! -yes! come on, come on! (cheering) morgan: get down! -come on, slide it out! get down! yes! yes! you did it, buddy! -you did it! you did it! (whoops) reid: "the greatest good you can do for another "is not just to share your own riches, but to reveal to him his own. " -benjamin disraeli. (cheering) (camera shutter clicking) uh, excuse me, miss. you lost? -uh, no. i was actually wondering how much. how old are you? i'm 18. w-wait. -i have money. do you have a car? i took a bus. all right. hope you like doing it standing up. -i--i wouldn't know. you're my--you're my first. i'll be gentle. money. uhh! -aah! ok. you see my hips? see my hips? you swing right through, nice and easy. -all right, come on. you give it a try. it was just a ride to the airport. this wasn't exactly what i had in mind when i said i owed you one. hey, you act like this is torture. -you know, there are people who think this is fun. believe it or not, most of my childhood sports memories aren't altogether pleasant. reid, it's just one game. we need a body. you might not even have to play. -perfect. can we go now? reid. just humor me? take the bat and get up there and give it a try. -get up there. you're gonna like this, kid. i promise. see it in here. just relax. -here we go. ok, ok. first try. keep your eye on the ball. gravity plus drag coefficient plus magnus-- -i see what you're saying. if i can adjust the velocity of my swing-- no, what i'm saying is get out of your head. just feel it. feel it. -feel it. don't think. just feel it. just feel. don't think, just feel. -here it comes. reid, that's not feeling it. i'm feeling like an idiot. well, today's your lucky day. we just got a case. -yes. thank god. last night in miami, the body of amanda lopez was found in an alley. she had been brutally beaten and suffocated. 23 years old, originally from tampa, ran away from her foster home when she was 16 years old. -runaway, prostitute. she couldn't be more high risk. and there was evidence of sexual assault, a lot of it. occupational hazard. no way to tell if our unsub is responsible for that. -beating and suffocation. so, he's a sadist. a lot of violence. were there any other victims? uh, actually, yes, but not the human variety. -in the last month, 6 puppies have been suffocated and beaten, and thank god there are no photos, because i draw the line at dead dogs. we sure it's the same guy? identical dna samples were found at all the crime scenes, but no match in the codis database. even if there was a match, it might not give us an i.d. that sure is a lot of rage. -i wonder why he's so angry. it's about the power. suffocation takes work. he likes it up close and personal. this unsub's just graduated from animals to human victims. -we need to stop him before he goes serial. wheels up in 30. uhh! what are you watching? jeez, mom, you ever hear of knocking? -who was that screaming? uh... it just some stupid youtube video. what do you want? i just came to see if you wanted some breakfast. -i'm fine. uh, please leave me alone? ok. uhh! == sync, corrected by elderman == -"better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher." japanese proverb. amanda lopez has no next of kin and no one reported her missing. she was an easy target. the unsub probably hoped for that. -the animals were all killed in a relatively small geographical radius, in a mostly middle-class suburban area. but amanda's body was found the other side of town in miami's skid row. so he left his comfort zone to kill his first human. a choice he probably made out of necessity. it's hard to find easy targets in middle-class residential areas. -he may be young. typically you see violence to animals in children and teens. but the jump to humans is usually made in their mid-20s. mm-mmm. thomas dillon started killing at 39. -joseph duncan was 43? usually. well, either way, this guy's moving fast. his animal kills were only days apart. he enjoys it. -and now that he's gotten a taste for humans, he's gonna need another fix soon. dave, you and blake go to the m.e. morgan and reid to the crime scenes. jj, you're with me. agent hotchner. -detective ogilvie, nice to meet you. this is agent jareau. detective. right this way. thank you. -when i first saw what this guy was doing, i wanted to call you weeks ago, but brass didn't think that dogs was worth the trouble. got you set up in here. here's the list of pet owners you asked for. thank you. -is there anything else i can get you? no, i think we're good for now, thanks. whatever you need. we're here to help. you know, looking at the offense cluster there's a pretty good chance he could live, right in this area. -or it could just be his hunting grounds. i don't know. i mean, look at where he killed all the animals. you could walk between each spot, but then he goes way up here to get amanda lopez. there's a... busline that runs straight through both neighborhoods. -and she was killed only a couple of blocks from one of the stops. all right, so maybe he doesn't have access to a vehicle. that would give us an abbreviated distance to crime value. so he starts with dogs in his own neighborhood, then when he works up the courage, he hops on the bus and finds his first human victim. garcia's compiling a list of known violent offenders in the area. -her jaw, orbital bones were fractured in several places. and he did it with his bare hands. i wouldn't be surprised if he broke one of them. see here. he started the beating with his right and he finished with his left. -no defensive wounds. he caught her by surprise in a blitz attack. this took anger and stamina. he's in shape or on drugs. or in shape and on drugs. -the actual cause of death-- suffocation. so he beats her into submission and then suffocates her with the bag. we also found alcohol in her system. she was fairly lit when he killed her. well, it helps that she's, what, barely 100 pounds? -easier to subdue. i don't think he was a very big guy himself. you can tell by the bruising. he's got small hands. all that rage. -and even with his animal victims. he must be getting off on the violence. so, he's a sexual sadist. a young, inexperienced one. he's disorganized, sloppy. -and he killed and dumped her in a high-traffic area. he's too impulsive to be an older guy. he's lucky, too. that alley's near a major thoroughfare. it's a miracle nobody saw anything. -uh, excuse me, hollie. i think--i think i may need to go home. i'm not feeling so good. there's no one to cover your shift, toby. can't you do it? -and work another double? sure. it's what i live for. so what's wrong with you? i... puked this morning. -i think i have the chills now. it feels like the flu. i just-- i mean, i hope i'm not contagious. fine. -go. the last dog was found in these bushes over here. the other dogs were found in a similar park not far away. except for the one found in an alley about a mile from here. hey, reid. -you remember those days? mm, not really. well, where did you hang out as a teenager? library, chemistry lab, library-- no, no, no, no, no. -i'm talking about normal, non-genius teenage type of stuff. malls, coffee shops, parks. we passed a mall and two coffee shops on the way here. and a high school, too. that would explain why the unsub's so impulsive. -he might still be an adolescent. mm! i thought you'd never call. my ears are hungry. your voice is like food. -well, i need your help, sweetness. yes! yes, your wish is my command. i need you to widen your search for violent offenders in the area to juveniles. mm, searching for bad boys. -it's my specialty. i'll hit you with a list asap. thank you, angel. mm-hmm. hey. -hey? that's all you've got is "hey"? you mad at me? mad at you? why would i be mad at you, toby? -you do something wrong? get in the car. get in the damn car. what do you got to say for yourself? i got your texts. -i'm sorry. all right? we've been over this. you know how bad that could have been? yeah, i--look, i was nervous, -i freaked out. i don't-- i don't really know what happened. it wasn't like i thought it was gonna be. i'm sorry. they say it's never as good as your first time. -the truth is... first time sucks. you don't know what you're doing. you're fumbling around. it's awkward. it does get better. -i promise. all right. you know what? i might have just the thing to make you feel better. i didn't even know the bureau had a softball team. -since when do you play? since morgan drafted me. really? why? don't let the skinny geek thing fool you. -i know the good doctor's deceptively athletic. oh, it's deceptive, all right. blake, what did you find out? none of the pet owners had much. each of their dogs just disappeared from their yard. -but he did get into their yards unnoticed, so that means he stalked them and knew their patterns. what about the list of juvenile offenders garcia sent us? local p.d.'s checking out a few names that caught my eye. excuse me. agent hotchner, another woman's body was just found. -that was quick. ok. i got it. her name is vicky thomas. 22-year-old prostitute. -originally out of daytona beach. and she's got a 2-year-old son. victimology matches. so does the plastic bag. guys, this is a residential area, not frequented by prostitutes. -well, he didn't kill her here, he just dumped her. he didn't beat her either. she took a blow to the head. bite marks. pretty rare m.o. -he didn't do that to the other victim. and look at her. she's filthy. he must have rolled her around in all this trash. probably a forensic countermeasure used to degrade the crime scene. -and the victim. ok, so he beats and suffocates his first victim and just dumps her. but this one he clocks over the head, bites her, but he covers his tracks. that's a huge shift in m.o. you think he's evolving? well, that's a pretty rapid evolution. -it might not even be the same guy. well, it can't be a copycat. the story literally just made the news. yeah, and what about the plastic bag? he used that on both victims. -yeah, but nothing about the second kill says young or impulsive. he thought this one through. guys, what if we're dealing with a team? if there are two of them, they're feeding off each other. this could turn into a spree real soon. -hey there. how you doin'? i'm good, baby. how are you? oh, i had a hard day at work. -i'm just looking for a little fun. how much? depends on what you want. i want it all. 200. -sold. get in. so what's your name? shawna. shawna. -that's a pretty name. sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. uhh! hey! you don't want to make me use this. -not so tight. not so tight. you want to make this part last. the trick is you want to give her a good scare. that way she does whatever you say. -isn't that right, shawna? you're gonna do whatever we tell you, aren't you? yeah. jogger ran by this morning. said his dog went crazy. -they're not bothering about hiding the bodies. not worried about being connected to their victims. arrogant. what do you we know about her? name is shawna radford. -21-year-old prostitute. some of my guys have seen her around. she doesn't trick anywhere near here. there's no apparent bite marks. she's got a lot of swelling and bruising. -she obviously took a blow to the forehead. looks like it could have been a hammer. so why do they even need the bag? suffocation's a form of torture. and they enjoy watching her suffer. -it's also become something of a signature. in this case, it's part m.o., part ritual. and this combines elements of the first and second murders. the first time was violent and sloppy. no planning, no forensic countermeasures. -just a lot of rage. the second murder was more sophisticated. if this is a team, one of them might be much younger than the other. which means the older unsub is probably the more dominant partner. he's teaching him. -the first kill was committed by the younger unsub. it was exactly that, his very first. so he probably did it alone. so what does that make the second kill? a demonstration. -and this one's about perfecting their m.o. together. when can i take this thing off? this is a surprise. why do you want to ruin it? i--'cause i don't like surprises. -we are... here. you know, when we started this whole thing, i wasn't sure, i just-- you know, i didn't know if you had it in you. thanks a lot? last couple nights, i mean, you've come a long way. -i'm proud of you, toby. i really am. go ahead. take that thing off. ok. -ta-daa! this is your surprise? it's graduation day, my man. come on. based on victim type and kill zone dynamics, we believe that we're looking for two white males, one significantly older than the other. -the younger unsub we believe is an adolescent. he probably lives in the area, so odds are he's a student at a local high school. we think the older unsub is in his late 30s to early 40s. now, he's sophisticated, so he probably has violent criminal experience. so you should be looking at ex-cons, and we can't rule out people who've had law enforcement training. -the older one had access to teenagers, but somehow he didn't stick out. which means he most likely lives or works near an area where young people congregate. like a school, church, or a community center. now, he's also charismatic, the type of guy that a teen would easily trust. maybe a teacher or a coach. -no. no, no, no. it's lightweight, cheap. it won't last. now, this one-- look, it's a little more expensive, but it's worth it. -much like the d.c. snipers, john allen muhammad and lee boyd malvo, this is a mentor/mentee relationship, where the old one is attempting to teach the younger one to become a better killer. this dynamic is rare, but the symbiotic nature of their mutual desires actually strengthens their affinity for one another. there's a chance they're related. we should consider a father and son team, brothers, or possibly an uncle and nephew. -but even if there is no biological connection, this relationship has all the hallmarks of their kind of bond. the younger one's probably looking for a father figure, trying to fill some emotional void. no fuss, no muss. you have your fun and johnny law's none the wiser. they prey on prostitutes, so put the word on the street to any of the working girls you may know. -yeah, i like this one. ohh... o ho ho. that's a $100 titanium framing hammer. beautiful... easily traced. now, this one, this is your garden variety $5.00 16-ouncer with a steel head. -sold at a hundred stores everywhere. this is the one you want. and their pace is relentless. given their combined appetites and the player-coach dynamic, these two are especially dangerous. thank you very much. -all right, let's hit it, people. what have you got, garcia? sir, i am afraid i have come up dry. a lot of weird stuff happens in south florida. i found a few hammer attacks, a shocking number of biting attacks, but only one or the other, no combo platters. -all right, go back another 10 years. and look nationwide. our older unsub must have a criminal past. that m.o. is too specific to just be popping up this late in his life. you got it. -back in a flash. all right, thanks, garcia. hey. i ruled out most of the kids on that offender list, but there is one that i'm having brought in. his name is jose aguilar. -he moved to miami right around the time the animal murders started. kicked out of two schools in orlando for bullying. broke one kid's nose. gave the other a concussion. but that's not why i want to talk to him. -he made a visit to the e.r., right after being attacked by a guy with a hammer. the kid refused to make an official police report. apparently he hates cops. keep me posted. jose, appreciate you coming in, man. -like i had a choice. why am i here? look, it's all good, all right? we just want to ask you a few questions. i didn't do anything. -i don't know anything. we done? kid, i get it. the neighborhood i grew up in, we hated five-0, too. oh, so you can relate. -we're not those kind of cops, man. oh, whatever. i think i can relate. i doubt that. because when you look at me, you jump to a particular set of conclusions. -it's human nature to make assumptions based on appearances. it's an outdated primal instinct born of our need to quickly assess our surroundings. of course, in this modern era, those assumptions tend to be very wrong and... often quite hurtful. it happens to me a lot, and i bet that happens to you all the time. i swear i didn't do anything. -we believe you. we just want to know what you wouldn't tell the cops about the man that attacked you with the hammer. i don't remember much. you want to try something interesting? this may sound crazy, but close your eyes and concentrate. -i think you'd be surprised to see how much you can remember if you try. all right. do you remember what you were. doing that day before the attack? just went to school. -what was the weather like? hot. hey. sorry i'm a little late. an hour's more than a little. -i said i was sorry. you've been late almost every day for the past two weeks. i've been really busy with school and stuff. i'll do better. toby, i have to let you go. -what? i warned you a bunch of times about being late. i-- i'm sorry. then there was that thing with the puppies. -that wasn't my fault. look, it's my job to manage this place, and i can't do my job if you can't do yours. hollie, hollie, please. you should go clean out your locker. sorry. -and what were you doing just before the attack? walking home from school. i cut through the park 'cause i had to take a leak. then i heard this barking. then i saw this kid and he was beating on this dog. -it pissed me off. i like dogs. hey! so i jumped the kid, started beating his ass, and the dog ran away. the next thing i know, i get hit in the back with something hard. -uhh! it hurt like a bitch. i look up and see some dude with a hammer. he popped me one more time in the arm before i took off. did you know the kid who was beating the dog? -some white kid. never seen him. he doesn't go to my school. what about the guy with the hammer? he was white, too, but older. -could you describe him to a sketch artist? the older dude-- no, it happened too fast. but the kid... i think so. good night. -see you tomorrow. aah! so jose rolls up on the younger unsub while he's doing his thing. but the older unsub just happens to be there to come to his rescue? or the older one was already there watching. -that attack happened months ago, so they've known each other at least that long. why would a grown man in his 40s connect with a teenager? easily explained if they're related. or if their relationship is sexual. well, if they were related or having sex, there would probably be more of a connection and there might not be such a big disparity in their m.o.s. -the dominant partner might not even allow the submissive to participate in the kill. if he's mentoring him, maybe it's because he wants to give back or leave some kind of legacy. well, like in most cases, the dominant one probably initiated the contact. you think he sought the younger one out. that's usually how it goes. -it takes talent to see talent. when and where they met is gonna be the key. it's only a matter of time before their partnership dissolves. in an student/teacher dynamic there comes a day when the student no longer needs the teacher. calm down, ok? -calm down! all right, hang on a second, i'm gonna put you on speaker. go ahead, baby girl. what you got? ask and you shall receive. -i widened my search, got a hit. one rudi stein. had an affinity for hammering and chewing on hookers in new york. convicted in '89. had a massive stroke right there in the sing sing prison yard, died last july. -that m.o. is too similar to what we've seen not to be related. but the timeline doesn't fit. stein got locked up over 20 years ago. what if the mentor got mentored himself? so you think stein mentored our older unsub? -then the unsub learned his skills in prison. there's a reason they call it crime u. if the guy who took the time to mentor him suddenly died, it could have triggered his need to pay it forward. garcia, i need everything you've got on rudi stein-- cellmates, relatives, known associates, and anything you can find. will do. -stay tuned. i'm out. toby. what are you doing here, man? like my new ride? -what are you talking about? you don't even have a driver's license. come check out the back. shut up! remember what i told you. -nice, huh? just like you showed me. she'll do whatever i say. what the hell are you doing, man? dude, it's hollie. -your boss? yeah. and you brought her here? yeah. we can take her out on the boat like the others. -are you out of your mind? you watch the news? the fbi's in town. bitch fired me today. how many times have we been over this? -never somebody you know and never where you live. is this her car? yeah. oh, my god! go ahead, garcia. -sir, i've got something. from 2002 to 2006, rudi stein shared a work detail with a david roy turner. he's a miami resident. now, it must have been a match made in heaven, because they remained pen pals after turner was released. -what was turner in for? he assaulted an underage male prostitute. so, he has a preference for younger boys. it explains why he chose a teenage apprentice. you got an address? -uh, yeah, i already sent them. i got a home and two work addresses. turner works as a groundskeeper for the miami-dade parks and rec, and he's also a part-time bartender. morgan, blake, and reid, take the residence. the rest of us will take the work address. -it's clear! clear. clear. there's nobody here. hi, papi chulo. -what's up? hey, good-lookin', i got david roy turner's laptop in front of me. can you pull everything off of it? in my sleep. power it up. -let's go. get her inside. where are you going? i'm gonna get the boat ready. it'll be sweet. -sweet? no. no, no. sweet is what you get when you do things right. work is what you get when you do things wrong. -and this is all wrong. why are you being such a bitch about this? 'cause you broke every rule in the book, toby, and we went over the book. now get her inside before you really piss me off. you at least gonna help me carry her? -you made your bed, lie in it. hey, morgan, look at this stuff. two different closets filled with this stuff, all unopened and unused. no dog lives here. i don't see a bowl or a crate or a leash, nothing. -everything was purchased from hal's pet shop. i found these under his bed. haven't gone through every one, but they go back to 2006. well, that's the year turner was released from prison. could be a habit he picked up inside. -loves sports. he's into leisure and travel. and he is a big fan of murder. it's not random. there's individual sections for each case. -it gets better. this guy was tracking the animal murders. yep. every one of them. hey, guys. -that looks like the boy from the composite sketch. whoever the kid is, turner's obsessed with him. hey, mama. tell me something good. well, i cleaned out this nutbag's laptop. -the guy was a torture porn connoisseur. i mean, the dude makes rick james seem amish. i also looked at his emails and social networks. he's been in touch a lot with a toby whitewood, and by a lot, i mean a couple, 3 times a day for the last year. well, what do you got on whitewood? -he's a 15-year-old sophomore at mckinley high school. his parents divorced two years ago. he lives with his mom claire. that's about it. he's squeaky clean. -garcia, what about employment or volunteer activities? pause. he works part-time at hal's pet shop. you got a picture of the kid? sent. -garcia, that's him. you got an address? yep. work address has been sent to you. home address is actually closer to hotch. -thanks. that explains how he got close to toby. somehow he figured out who was committing the animal murders, he stalked him at his job and eventually earned his trust. at least help me get her on the boat? no, i'll do it. -you, uh, you clean the car. use the supplies in that locker. and when i say clean, i mean spic and span. but then we can take her out on the boat. we are not gonna do anything. -i'm gonna take her out on the boat. i'm gonna get rid of her. and you are gonna get rid of that car. what? ! -that's not fair. she's mine. no. no, no, no. the second you brought her over to my house, she became mine. -now go. did you not hear me? you know, you don't tell me what to do. you're not my father. no. -your father bailed on you and your mom 'cause he couldn't deal. me, i'm the guy that got you through it. don't act like you did me some big favor. i know exactly what you wanted, perv. what's that, tobe? -you think that i don't see the way you look at me? i'm not stupid, you know. i should have trusted my gut. you don't have it in you. you're nothing but a sad little loser. -you're an old ex-con that likes hanging out with kids, and... i'm the loser? you're wasting my time. get out of here. come on, pretty girl. -uhh! claire whitewood? yes. we're with the fbi. we're looking for toby. -he's not here. you know where he is? i haven't seen him since this morning. what did he do? yeah, go ahead, garcia. -what do you got? two things. one-- david roy turner's father nate, he was a boat mechanic. he owned a repair shop. he died 12 years ago, but according to public records, it's still in his name. -yes, i just sent you the address. yeah, i got it. hang on, guys. what was the second thing, garcia? the second thing is, is that the manager at the pet store where toby works at was just reported missing by her fiance, and her name is hollie riggio. -if toby had anything to do with the girl's disappearance, then his victim preference is changing. or the prostitutes were just practice for the girl he really wanted. you know, the old guy was right. taking my time to see that look in your eyes is worth it. you see, in here, -i'm the boss. you know about being the boss, don't you? get away from me! no. no, no. -hmm? come on. come on. no! no! -no-- stop it. i taught you everything. oh, i can't-- my god, i can't believe this is happening. it's like we're cursed or something. i know this is a lot, and we're here to help you however we can. -is there anything i can get you? 3 years ago, toby and his 17-year-old sister were carjacked. the assailant took them to a remote location where he repeatedly raped toby's sister and then bludgeoned her to death. but he let toby live. his mother just told us that toby confessed to not screaming or running because he actually liked watching. -he said it aroused him. it was a single-event imprint. that was his trigger. then we're dealing with two psychopaths. and if they're both at the boathouse location, then neither one of them's going to go quietly. -ahh. here. oh, please. it's ok. oh, please, just let me go, please. -he's gone now. it's ok. it's ok. he's just a-- he's just a hard-headed little kid. he didn't know better. -i guess that reflects poorly on me. um... i don't know. it's just, uh... ah, ok. -but he did tell me what a bitch you were to him. and despite what you just saw, i cared very deeply for that boy. no... so... -fbi! drop it! david roy turner? put the weapon down right now. i've been to prison. -aah! this is agent hotchner. yes, what can i do for you? thank you very much. what is it? -dallas p.d. discovered an unidentified male body with the mouth sewn shut. like the silencer. he's dead. it's obviously a copycat. dallas division is into it. -they said they'd keep us in the loop. come on, like a half hour or so. oh, get outta here. hey. hey, pretty boy. -you made it. i like that. you bring a glove? glove? i don't own shorts. -ok, don't even worry about it, kid. i got an extra one. dyson's wife had her baby last night. so today is your day to play second base. wait, what? -uh-huh. i can't play second base. oh, yes, you can. you're gonna. no such thing as can't, kid. -go, team! what are you guys doing here? oh, we were not gonna miss this for the world. great day for it. awesome. -so the secret service, huh? yeah, yeah. we haven't beat these chumps in 5 years. they've got nothing to do but practice. and party. -ah, there he is. let's go, baby. you can do it! come on, spence! just swing it! -strike one! strike two! strike 3! let's go, kid, come on. you can do it! -you can do it! you can do this! hey, this guy can't hit. bring it in. time-out. -time-out. time-out. here you go. come on. listen to me, kid. -look at me. it is the bottom of the ninth. there's two outs. and we are losing by one run. ok? -you are the guy, reid. no, i'm not. yes. all you have to do is get it over their heads, and i will score, and then you run like hell. i've been doing the calculations. -force equals-- reid, stop. stop. get out of your head. all the physics in the world will not work unless you just let it flow. -i don't know if i can. you remember all those unpleasant childhood sports memories? ok, right now, you can erase them, all of it for good. kid, stop thinking. just feel it. -ok. you got this. you got it? you got this. let's go. -drive 'em in, baby! he's the man. he's the man. strike one! attaboy. -attaboy. whoo! you gotta believe it. you can drive 'em in. come on, you can drive 'em in, baby. -strike two! this guy's got nothin'. run! go! go! -go! go! go! yes! yes! -safe! yes! yes! you did it! you did it! -you did it! whoo! "the greatest good you can do for another "is not just to share your own riches, but to reveal to him his own." benjamin disraeli. -== sync, corrected by elderman == if we mess this up. it'll be the end of life as we know it. load 'em up! are you ready? -the goal of the game is to capture the flag from marshall house. you must prevent them from capturing our flag! if you allow them to tear off the flag that you're wearing... then you are out of the game, and you have let down your dorm-mates, who will then never graduate and end up on reality shows about hoarding! are you clear? -are you ready? get flags! is this an emergency? are you there? somebody, help me! -primeval new world 01x05 undone original air date november 26, 2012 how's the game going? here's the question. if "e" is the absolute value, and "i" squared is the co-value, what's the root coefficient? that's funny, i was just wondering that myself. -cross takes the snap. fades back into the slot, looks down the field, finds his man... oh! for the touchdown! not bad. -and here i thought this whole genius millionaire thing was just compensation for being the last one picked in gym class. the last one picked? actually, that was kenny paderno. heard he's a hedge fund mogul now. so, what about you? -what's this whole savvy power woman thing compensation for? oh, i don't need to compensate. i network. which is why i am so happy that the new buyer for the soeng group is a woman. so they're interested. -china is busy buying everything else in the world. why not our quantum dot technology? well, if they can keep us from being financially dependent on ken leeds and his government lunatics. let me, uh, show you how it's done. excuse me. -let's see what you got. oh-ho... i'll call soeng first thing in the morning. you can, uh, keep working on your passing game. keep working on my passing game, huh? -hey, ange! go long! come on, that was right in the numbers. yeah, right there. that's the spot i can't reach. -anywhere else, you let me know. you didn't have to work so late just for me. you're working nights. when else am i going to see you? naked. -is this your house key? hmm? around your neck. no. why are you wearing it in the shower? -no reason. are you hoping i'd ask about it? no. because i don't need a key to your apartment. who says it's for you? -but if i want it, i know where to get it. toby, toby, toby. oh, you're in a good mood. this is my zone, baby. -i get all my best ideas after hours. well, personally, i would like to have a life. that's why i'm working on an app that's going to buzz us if the anomaly detector gets a hit. i am tired of babysitting this thing. -well, who's going to keep me company? think i can make it? while doing polynomials in your head? yes, i do. what have we got? -we've got... a delayed alert? a delayed alert. i don't want delayed alerts. well, of course not, but the system has to crunch every cell phone signal in the city looking for off-pattern data. -i mean, if you want faster alerts, you've got to get me more servers. just how delayed? the timestamp on the packet is from 34 minutes ago. but i mean, it's not a big deal, right? like, who's gonna be up at this hour? -at the university campus during frosh week? everybody. try narrowing the search field, see if we can get a current status? okay. current status... -it's already closed. that's good news. yeah, if nothing came through, it is. where the hell are you, mac? oh, don't answer it. -it's evan. tell him he owes me for pain and suffering. shh... what's up? hey, mac, we've got a situation. -i need you in the field. i'm on my way. another anomaly? where? so this is how we play it now? -i almost die trying to save you from a giant bug, and you pretend nothing happened? evan doesn't want you involved. it's dangerous, and the fewer people that are... i'll just keep patrolling the parking lot. excellent use of resources. -what do you want me to do, sam? it's evan's call. i want in, mac. talk to him. god, you're sexy. -well, you should see me when i get what i want. i can be very, very grateful. "who's gonna be up at this hour?" okay, my bad. you getting anything? -it's hard to tell. the field flux is so low, it could just be background. you know, it's not likely we'll get magnetic traces from a closed anomaly, even with these new filters. it's not likely, yeah, but it's still possible, and wouldn't you rather find out now, while nothing is trying to eat us? hey, welcome to frosh week. -you're not going to give up on this, are you? nope. that's why you love me. see anything? doesn't look like a t-rex came through here, if that's any comfort. -maybe this time we're chasing a jurassic butterfly. you'd need to get a smaller gun. hey, our turf, our rules. they're only on our turf by accident. that's why we owe it to them to put them back in their own habitat. -and if the anomaly's already closed, like this one? what's with the blue lights? it's an emergency system that connects to campus security. for attacks. has anyone given you anything to eat or drink tonight? -no. what do you mean? well, we have some cases of people slipping drugs into drinks. no, this was real! it was like a dog, but it wasn't a dog. -it had these teeth, like, these huge fangs. are you sure that no one's pulling a prank on you? i mean, you never know what people find funny. no, this was an animal. it chased me down here. -i barely made it into the bike lockup in time. it was trying to get at me. it only ran off when it heard you guys coming. you're okay now, kate. i mean, there's nothing here. -i can't believe this is how my first week at school is turning out. i'm sure it's going to get better. now, what dorm are you in? radcliffe. okay. -i think it's best if we walk you back to your room. you'll find it, right? that animal? we'll make sure everyone is safe. she's lucky. -she could be dead. well, she's not the only one who could wind up dead. look at all these people out here. what's her story? sounds like she was stalked down that pathway away from the crowd. -if she's right about it being some kind of canine... or canine ancestor, it makes sense. coyotes and hyenas, they go after the stragglers separated from the herd. so it's a good thing that there are a lot of people. safety in numbers. -and lots of witnesses. yeah, exactly, so let's get this thing wrapped up before it becomes an issue. something was in these bushes. it crossed that grass over there. i'm getting some readings. -you don't think the anomaly could have opened up here, do you? yeah, it's possible. so, what do you think, did it come back here after the attack? looks like it. the tracks go to those blue light poles, and then they come back this way. -whoo-hoo! come on, guys, we've got a job to do. yeah, right! it's pretty overgrown down there, attractive habitat for a creature out of its time. no light. -a million places to hide. perfect. there are tracks in and out of here, too. apparently, it's going hunting in the library. it's on unfamiliar territory, and it can't get home. -i don't think it's hunting. i think it's hiding. it's all the same. guys, let's just make sure we're the ones who find it. all right? -and quickly. oh, my god. look, there it is. dylan, you're with me. you two, go in from down below. -it's inside. someone propped a door open. the library's closed, so unless this thing can open doors... looks like we might have the little bastard cornered. stay close. -a lot of places to hide. there. little help! come on! trap it! -let him get outside. hey, guys, have you seen the creature? we lost it at the stairs. haven't seen anyone except the security guard, and... oh, shit, behind you! -mac! we'd better bag that up to go. what the hell are we supposed to do with a tranq'd up dinosaur in the middle of the night? you know the drill. we put it back. -what, through a closed anomaly? looks like we'll have to wait for it to re-open. what are the chances of that? unknown, our data-set is too small. you know, i love it when you talk like my sat nav. -we've seen it happen before. i can do some more readings, maybe find out where the anomaly opened at least. i say we just snuff it while it's out. we're not doing that. why, exactly, does it matter if we kill one man-eating lizard from 500 million years ago? -because, mac! one snowball can turn into an avalanche. don't you get it? if we kill one stegosaurus, then its great-great grandstegosaurus wouldn't be there to eat a bug that could've eaten a snake, that would've eaten a fish, that could've evolved into a mammal, and then guess what, we're all lizard-people. did you just say a bug ate a snake? -really? that's what you got from that? would you two cut it out? we need to focus on getting this thing off campus. it's not huge. -we could cage it in a truck. yeah, good idea. sam's working night shift, isn't she? good. call her. -have her bring the armored cargo van down here. what? she wants on the team, right? yeah. keep coming! -little faster. loads of room. loads of room. keep coming... sam, sam! -close enough! got here as quick as i could, mr. cross. evan. and we try not to drive company vehicles at the speed of sound. it annoys the neighbors. -i got it, sir. evan. all right. you first? side effect of the sedation i gave it. -sorry. bye. that's tough luck on the shirt. make sure toby doesn't stay all night. at least you scored some major points with sam. -maybe now she will finally take that key that you've been wearing around your neck. what do you know about it? are you kidding me? you've been wearing that thing for three days. why don't you just hold up a sign that says, "i'm needy." -i'm not needy. i'm wanty. okay. so, where are we going? we know cross photonics is secure. -we'll take it back there and put it in a loading bay. who else is in the building? just me and bill pearson on night duty. good guy. zero curiosity about anything. -well, it's definitely the right night for that. and what's ange gonna think of making cross photonics into a temporary dinosaur zoo? ange? she's never going to find out. mr. pearson. -welcome back, sam-i-am. good evening, mr. cross. what do we have here? it's a, uh, a prototype. very unique technology. -can't be very unique. either it's unique or it's not, right? it's definitely "unique-er" than your average unique. we're going to be taking it out before your shift ends. just make sure nobody comes near it. -we'll observe the high standards of cross photonics security, sir. evan. hey, um, call us if you need anything. a prototype? i don't want him deciding to get curious. -safer that way. safer or simpler? so you've tranq'd that thing up? if i give it any more, i could put it into respiratory failure. -should be out for a minimum of three hours. okay, i'll work on finding a secure facility in case we have to keep it. just until i come up with a better idea. that girl needs to be convinced that she didn't see a dinosaur. you want me to ask her if she's seen an anomaly? -we've tried it your way. now we try it mine. is it sad that i kind of miss all this? wait, you like that type? i may have dated the captain of the football team. -how did that turn out? we broke up over a cheerleader. turns out we were both sleeping with the same one. that's her. hey, you're kate? -we'd like to ask you a few questions about the attack earlier. yeah, you and everyone else on campus. you don't go here. we're from the zoo. that thing escaped from the zoo? -yeah, yeah. a couple of frat boys stole an animal as a prank. a wolf. a cheetah. but we've caught it now. -it's all wrapped up. you guys are serious, right? it's not a joke. that thing really scared me. we're dead serious. -we never joke about this kind of thing. the animal's gone. you're safe now. does everybody who works at the zoo end up smelling like you? did you see where it came from? -no, i just heard it up in the trees, and then i ran. did you happen to see a light? something really bright with a symmetrical rhythmic output? looked like a disco ball. no, sorry. -nothing like that. well, thanks for your help. it's definitely a therapsid, something from the gorgonopsidae family... okay, i've got the cctv feed up. everything okay with sam? -it won't be if bill calls. i think she's bluffing. you can tell from that grainy overhead camera? you must be hell at the table. you should try me sometime. -you're on. all right, now i just have to get rid of the delay in the alerts. if that anomaly recurs, we have to get back there fast. if it doesn't open again, we could just start a permanent sanctuary for stray dinosaurs. we could call it cross' critters. -only if you muck out the stalls. you'd be the first person in the world to show people a lycaenops. it's a permian predator from what's now south africa. it's a reptile, but more like a wolf than a cat. see, this is all part of my plan. -i let you think you're kicking my ass, and then in the last hand, i sweep in and take all your money. so your plan involves me kicking your ass? that way your overconfidence works in my favor. gotta make room for more coffee. -and don't look at my cards. i don't know what you're talking about. this is a waste of time. it's a hypothesis, mac. even if we prove it's wrong, it's still information. -i should've said no. i shouldn't have brought sam into this. i'm sure she can handle herself. oh, my god, the anomaly, it opened. toby! -dammit! closed again. great. well, maybe it will come back, and we can send that creature home after all. hey. -hey, it's me. hey, me. where are you? whatcha doing? oh, you know, official business. -anything exciting? not really. this dino stuff is really boring. you wouldn't like it. you're so lying. -i know you went out on a limb to get me into this, and i am going to thank you like you've never been thanked. uh, well... get back over here. i think someone may be trying to steal this prototype. shit, mac, i gotta go. -i'll see you in a little while, okay? sam, wait. sam? what is it? something's wrong. -she's not answering. this is security! i'm opening up this door. what the hell? did she say the creature had gotten out? -it didn't sound like she was with bill. she got a call from him on the radio while we were talking! she left bill by himself in the loading bay. the creature's still tranquilized, right? yeah. -in theory. we're coming back! look, if there's a problem, we'll handle it. we'll be there in a minute. i wasn't asking. -mac, we don't even know what happened. let's find out. bill? oh, my god, bill. the tranq i gave it... it must have an incredibly fast metabolism. -ange does the interviewing. but when it comes time to let someone know they got the job, she always lets me make the call. so they'll be loyal to me. bill was here for four years. sam, three. -mac, you don't want to see this. i'm sorry, mac. no tranquilizers? when an animal kills, it's my job to put it down. the old rules don't apply. -that would've meant a lot to me two hours ago. mac, just... just slow down. there's a hundred thousand square feet of factory floor out there. we need a plan. this is on your head. -i have a plan. to kill it. mac... don't do this, mac. mac! -evan, i found something. where? look, right there. on the edge. it's coming out of the vent that leads to the roof. -how did it get there from the loading bay? it didn't. the markings are different. shit. a second one must have come through the anomaly when it reopened. -it's a good foot taller than the first. i'm guessing this one's a male. how the hell could this happen? how did that thing find us? scent. -it must have followed the scent of the female. it's not unusual for animals to smell pheromones from miles away. or it followed the smell on mac. oh, god. what? -mac, you've got to stop what you're doing and go take a shower. are you mad? there's a second creature and it's here. it must have followed the smell of urine on your clothes. it followed us? -mac, there's a target painted on your back. perfect. it'll come right to me. yeah! you don't want that. -oh, i assure you, i do. it will kill you before you even see it, mac. you won't have a chance, okay? you just... you need to take a shower. -now. change your clothes, okay? right now. mac? we gotta go find him. -evan, we're past that. i thought you were trying to keep them alive, too. i am. i was trained to make it first priority to get them back to their own habitats. but i also know that once they kill, they have to be destroyed. -no! evan's right. if killing these things could change our past, then they need to be protected, no matter what. even if they kill the people we love. believe me, there's no one that wants to kill these things more than i do. -but we can't. that's a theory, evan. you can't know what would happen. unless there's something you're not telling me. keep scanning the video. -let me know if you see mac. what about the lycaenops? mac first. i'm not finding another body. these creatures are predators, adapted for stealth. -keep your eyes open. i plan on it. i'm guessing the female is the hunter. the male will look for her, but if anything gets in its way... it's my fault. -what? bringing the female here. it was my decision. let's just find mac. oh, you just try me. -evan, i found mac. he just passed the clean room, he's heading toward the lehr. he's chasing one of those things, but i can't tell which one. okay, yeah. if i pick him up again, i'll call you right back. -come on, mac. show your skinny british ass. she said he's heading toward the lehr? yeah, it's a kiln, for the photonics. you see anything? -about a million places to hide. you're looking in the wrong direction. mac. it hides up there. kate said it was trying to get at her from above. -makes sense if it's a jungle creature. best view would be in the trees looking down. there. is it the male or the female? who cares? -the male will lead us to the female. no... if i get a shot, i'm taking it. not if i'm around... go ahead, toby. -can you hear me? what is it? toby? it's here. let's move! -toby! get down! clear! you all right? uh-huh. -mac... what are you going to say to make it better? huh? toby... arrange for the offices to be closed the rest of the week. -dylan, secure the firearms and put these animals in the freezer. i'll call lieutenant leeds, and work out a cover story for the police. then i'll notify the families. evan... i'm fine. -i wonder if we'll be okay today... it looks like he's not here right now... sorry you guys... saya! saya. -saya doesn't think... anything of you you know. if you are still interested we'll make you remember that! farewell for today. let's go. let's meet again. -shiritsu bakaleya koukou visit sophia-london @ livejournal for more. or find us at biribirisubs @ tumblr. and please ask for permission before translating into another language. this meat dumpling is so good! -want some tatsuya?

jeez... -i said i didn't do it! like hell shohei-san would do that! it's obvious you've mistaken him for someone else! shohei-san is looking forward to the yakiniku bento! like hell would he do something that wouldn't let him eat it anymore! -you guys... go back to your classroom! go back to your classroom! ss i thought bakada is still bakada! as if you would change that easily. -don't you dare make fun of bakada! the one you're suspecting is me right? don't go so far as to make fun of my buddies and bakada! what is this? it's strange. -what happened? what did shohei-san say? when he left us yesterday to go to meet up with momo-chan... shohei-kun! man that hurts... -he bumped into a young guy... what's this? you! stop right there! criminal! -me? and it seems he was taken in for questioning... so this means the guy he bumped into is the criminal right? yeah. if that's so then we should look for that guy! -but shohei-san didn't see his face! but if that guy is the culprit in these continuing incidents i think he might come again... that's for sure. so... should we catch him ourselves? shohei-san will be expelled. -him being late today will be overlooked right? if that's the case then... shohei can eat the yakiniku bento! for the sake of shohei-san's name and the yakiniku bento... let's give it our all! -i would like it... if you would not hurt cattleya's name any more than this. i would like it... if you would not hurt cattleya's name any more than this. you'll only die of embarrassment. shohei-san didn't do it. we'll protect them both. -we have too much free time... aren't they?

-yes. what the heck were you doing? we thought we'd gather information on yesterday's criminal... we want to protect cattleya's name. i don't want cattleya to be made fun of. -then... should we join forces? what are you saying? they don't want to get hit on... you mean if we are in mixed gender groups we'll be collaborating? -yeah. if it's for the sake of cattleya's name we have no other choice. that's probably true. well... if it's for shohei-san's name... party interests concluded. -now how should we split into teams? let's do this with rock paper scissors. shoot! he'd be an idiot to do this to idle old ladies. how welcoming... -he'd be looking for a bag in a basket right? that criminal. how can you have so much faith in him?

-our school is... this academy is... merging with... an all-boys school called bakada. an all-girls school called cattaleya! -merging? shiritsu bakaleya koukou hey! is this merging thing for real? spill it! -what the hell is going to happen to bakada? even if you ask me i don't know! i just heard it myself. they told me we'll be merging with a girls school and becoming co-ed--- don't mess with me! -we're a yankee school you know. we don't need freakin' girls! if they're giving 'em, i'll take 'em. eh, shohei-san? nothing. -this is not something that can be taken back. it's already been decided. fucking annoying! calm down, man. like hell i'll calm down! -they're ruining our school's name! calm down, man. like hell i'll calm down! they're ruining our school's name! we are the best yankee school. -and they're underestimating us by merging with some little girls' school? what the hell is the board chairman thinking? rich girls...it could be good. shohei-san, what are you reading? it's nothing! -we don't need some prissy girls at a school like bakada! isn't fumie-senpai wonderful? her grades are always on top. and her father is a diplomat! -her grades are always on top. and her father is a diplomat! saaya-senpai is also quite cute! and her father is a diplomat! saaya-senpai is also quite cute! -senpai! i've heard we will be going to a new school. we are supporting you! senpai! i've heard we will be going to a new school. -we are supporting you! the school we are merging with is seemingly not so great, but do not fret. cattaleya's star, fumie, is right here. professor sayonji... thank you for coming all this way. -it's nothing. i brought the documents concerning the merger. both of these student's grades are top notch, and they come from good families. they should become good leaders for our school. it's good to hear that. -this is embarrassing, but at bakada there is no one like that, and the responsibility falls on me. this merge is the only thing that will keep our school going. do not worry. rest assured, you will surely see a rebirth of your school. i am anticipating it. -tatsuya...is outside. he's a real idiot, you know. he's probably thinking of saying "i'm sorry" to our senpais... right? that guy... has also got that thing with his big bro. -yeah... hey. bro... you know tatsuya, you can't get by as the head with half-assed feelings! why are you taking this on all by yourself? -with your rank, are you thinking of joining your brother if bakada is gone? if you know already don't ask! if you think about it, it can't be helped. if we're becoming such a lame school then i'll quit and start a shop. -a place opened recently you know! even though you're so sloppy... the one who thinks about bakada the most is you right? i wonder about that. it's not like i can ditch those guys either. -but they are real idiots. come at me! you piece of shit! satoshi and maya too... i punched the crap out of them. -'cause they're my real friends. tatsuya! this is bad! those guys from before took our plaque! you punks! -welcome. what the hell are you doing with bakada's plaque? oh this? your school is disappearing right? this is the end. -for punks like you! let me teach you a little something. don't fuck with me. bakada... will never disappear! -fight me! tetsuya! let me go, you punks! tetsuya! let me go! -tetsuya! let me go! look at you turning away. this is the end. die, punk. -you guys... tatsuya! if you're fighting, let us join too. saving friends is... bakada. -that's how it is. you punks... don't underestimate our friends! your opponent... is me! -is this punk kid a little girl?

indeed. are you fond of it? you idiots! i understand. -starting today, you'll be our classmates, right? please look on us fondly. how do you do? nucky thompson, arnold rothstein... give me your blessing, i'll kill them all. and when i do, they're gonna call you joe the king. -your pal rosetti's flown the coop. you think i wanted him here? he comes back, you pick up the phone. you hear me? i swear, eli, on my kids. -you should come with me. okay. it's hard to know what to say to you. say anything you want. andrew mellon is the head of the treasury department. -he's responsible for enforcing prohibition and he despises harry daugherty. a few days from now, treasury agents will arrest george remus for multiple violations of the volstead act, including the purchase of government liquor permits from a close associate of the attorney general of the united states. where are we with the pony? hot tip? for emily's birthday. -leave it to me. i'll get her all fixed up. i lost an earring. those hummingbirds you gave me. i'll buy you new ones. -are you familiar with babette's? i ate there with nucky before our falling-out. he'll be dining there this evening with mr. rothstein. bring it back over. keep your head down. -come on. easy, easy. can i give you a hand with that?

i can't fucking see straight. that'll pass. and the ringing in my ears? tinnitus. -consistent with concussion. are you experiencing any numbness? i only wish. everything fucking hurts. particularly my head. -the powder's not helping? the phenacetin? he's very stubborn not to take his medications. because they don't work. why don't you give me something stronger? -i could prescribe laudanum, but it's just as likely to give you headaches. what you need is bed rest. your brain's been injured. it needs time to heal. call eddie. -get him over here. but i am here. not you, my brother. eli. that's what i said. -jesus. i will call him right away. one of the symptoms of concussion is a temporary lack of mental acuity, which can come and go. feeling in a fog. confusion. -i've got to get dressed. nucky? nuck... whoa. easy does it. i'm fine. -i'll just... all right. i'll just lie down for a minute. you're very fortunate, nucky. an explosion like that, a few feet closer... -get out, carl. give that back, regina. come back here with that. come back here. come on, regina. -drop it. chase her, mommy. it's not a game. drop it! come back here. -thompson suite. who's calling, please? i asked you first. because the person... thank you, young man. -mr. thompson's room. how may i help you? you're to give yourself a proper scrubbing. what's the difference? we're not going anywhere. -we're not, are we? we can go downstairs to the palm court for cakes. can't we order room service? ahem. make your bed. -they will deliver the decorations shortly. all the furniture in the living room needs to be moved out. i will call down to the staff. i asked you to make your bed. the maid will do it. -there won't always be maids. stop it. you're driving me mad. where is mr. sleater? in there. -i, uh... don't be a prat. let her in. may i speak with you? where did they all come from? -each ward boss sent over three. how's the children's wing? a bit tetchy. i can't blame them. and a birthday party on top of it. -they'll be content once it's underway. not a wandering vagrant this time, is it? knowing nothing doesn't make it better. it's mr. rosetti. as you probably guessed. -what did enoch do to him? said no when he wanted to hear yes. that's all? sometimes that's enough. he's more than welcome to take his dog back. -this won't last forever. i know... it's for our own safety, and there's no point in complaining. that's not what i meant. when this is all sorted, you and i... what did dr. surran say? -huh? what did... i have impetigo. really? might as well. -he never gets anything right. should you be doing that? what? you're muttering. i said do you think it's wise... -we need to discuss something... the three of us, right now. what happened? to the pony? i'm sorry? pony. -the pony. the goddamn pony. we didn't buy a pony. why the hell not? wasn't i clear on this? -because, as it turns out, we're living in a hotel, and they don't allow horses. not even small ones. well, that's a shame. just a crying shame. for that angel. -when it's going to be her birthday. i don't think it's the most important concern right now, do you? what do you think? mrs. thompson is right. there's got to be a party. -there will be. it's all arranged for tomorrow. that just is going to have to happen. we'll have it here. so let's get started on that. -let's get the wheels turning. mr. thompson, sir? enoch? did you say something? i said it's being taken care of. -i don't know what to tell you. it's just a little sideline is all. if you sell alcohol, i, the sheriff's department, gets a piece of it. that was made very clear. it's just a few quarts of home brew, jerry. -the amount doesn't matter. you saw how things can get out of hand. you answer to me. and i keep it all straight with the big ike on the boardwalk. that way there's no confusion. -now, i'll let it go this once, but... are you listening to me? don't walk away when i'm talking to... operator. this is sheriff ramsey. get me the ritz-carlton in atlantic city. -nucky thompson's room. right away, sir. top floor, the other side. come on. shit. -you and you, with me. you guys cover the back. howdy, sheriff. what's new on the prairie? gyp. -good to see you again. what's so good about it? you miss my company? you like the way i look? what are you, some kind of finook? -just ready to get back to business. no kidding. you've been twiddling your thumbs... hello, sir? this is the operator. -waiting for me to show up? you're connected to the ritz-carlton. just a minute, operator. there's no need for any of that. you know me. -i'm flexible. not for much longer. ah! these goddamn reporters. they're relentless. -they're insisting on a statement, nuck. we could say an anarchist. or like that explosion on wall street. someone they let go carry a grudge. well, whatever it was, we're just glad you're okay. -when are we rebuilding, anyway? maybe i talk to you about that. what's it got to do with you? that's what i want to talk to you about. shut that goddamn shade. -we don't got to do this now, nuck. when did you get so uppity? come again? work on my shoes later. this is mr. white. -gas. you want some bicarbonate? babette's. tell them it was a gas leak. nuck? -it was a faulty valve. that's what caused the explosion. well, that makes sense. get me some water. don't i have someone who answers that? -mr. thompson's room. who's calling, please? have an inspector come out. certify the other lines on the boardwalk are sound. guarantee the public there's no danger. -you should be at the hospital handing out flowers to the victims. take a photographer. teddy, this is business. you can't just walk in. a man is on the phone. -what man? the gypsy. uh, gentlemen, if you please. oh, yeah. don't worry, nuck. -we'll take care of it. everything's all right. go to your mother. i'll be at the hospital. hello? -i want to read you something from the paper. plucked my heartstrings, i don't know why. "lights dimmed all along the rialto last night for a fallen star who had just begun to shine. lillian kent, whose delight-making, arms-akimbo turn in 'dizzy izzy' brought a glow to an otherwise dim season, was remembered by a glittering array of broadway's brightest"... what were we talking about? -the party? the gas leak. don't tell the kids about it. it'll just upset them. nobody's talking about telling kids anything. -they'll find out. everyone finds out soon enough. you know what i'm saying, don't you? i'm not sure that i do. one day you wake up and you realize what's been going on. -you hung up before i had a chance. to do what? offer condolences. from me and joe masseria. why don't you come see me sometime? -i'm right up the road in tabor heights. was it him? what was... what the fuck are you doing? stopping you before you wreck the whole floor. -who the goddamn hell do you think you are? who is he? that's your brother, nuck. you need to catch ahold of yourself. frankie yale, waxey gordon, -peg leg lonergan, and bill lovett in brooklyn. torrio if he'll come, and arnold rothstein... we need to get them here soon as possible. what for? joe masseria is backing gyp rosetti. so i'll need to kill them both. -joe masseria has an army. that's why we're going to need help. don't look at me that way. what i'm saying makes perfect sense. mad anthony wayne. -anthony. he was italian? i'm not sure. but he was a brigadier general in the continental army. on his way to the battle of monmouth county, he spent two days encamped here in tabor heights. -did the town, huh? we're ready over here. pardon me. good evening, ladies and gentlemen. first things out the way, thank you for coming. -those of you who were curious and those who were maybe escorted here. my name is mr. rosetti. my associates and me have taken an interest in your town and are gonna be here for a while. so we thought it only neighborly to introduce ourselves. in return for your hospitality and any inconvenience this may cause, we're offering a monthly giveback. -tell them how much we're offering. a double c apiece. in english. $200 a month. which is a pretty square deal for keeping your mouth shut. -wouldn't you say, sheriff ramsey? he's a good man, your sheriff. and he's gonna keep on sheriffing. same as you all are gonna keep doing whatever it is you do. barbers cut hair. -cooks cook. librarians keep checking out books because it's very important to read. what happens when bible camp opens?

from jess smith. -daugherty's man. then randolph would be very interested in seeing them. i'm bored. i want the cake. when is she gonna open the presents? -you stop. hey. now, now. cake is yummy. aren't we going to have any cake?

you've upset her. no, no, it's not a real horse. -look. see? it's all make-believe. no one got hurt. it was a gas leak. -no matter what you hear, it was... it was just an unfortunate... i don't want it. i got a toy train! i want yours! it's so much better! -he's resting. i put a cold cloth on his head. pour you a drink? no, thank you. but help yourself. -nah. never one for it, truth to tell. that's funny, then, isn't it? how do you mean? our whole lives center around it. -everything we say or don't say all in those bottles. it's just a business in the end. is business meant to be like this? ask the man buried in the coal mine. or digging a canal. -or working a slaughterhouse. no one asks where what they want comes from. they just want it... and then believe what suits them. and that's your peace with it? there's no halfway. -and there's no excuse either. i'm in it now. and when i'm done, i'll walk away. do you mean to? yeah, in a year, two years. -why not now? is that what you want? if it is, say it. say it and we'll go. it would have to be far. -we're thousands of miles already. what's a few more?

no. clear as a bell. would you mind if i asked you for some ice water? -take it easy with that. i got it. that goes up to new york. come on, keep it going. those boats out there, the lights? -come on, keep it going. let's go. rum row, they call it. we send our boats out, they come back full of booze. from the beach here to the trucks. -from the trucks to little italy and six hours later you're sipping scotch. that boat's got the whiskey. that goes down to ac. what do you think?

this belongs to someone else. it does? -yes. she's dead. she's dead and it's my fault. everything i touch... you have to understand. -no matter what you think of me, there's no walking away. it doesn't work like that. i do it to them or they do it to me. that's all there is. and the men in your office? -either they're with me and we go to war, or they'll smile, shake my hand, and walk away. i'll be alone... and that's as good as dead. you can hear me? yes. you know who i am? -you're margaret schroeder. margaret thompson. yes. my wife. sorry. -my wife. you need to get up. you need to finish getting dressed. and you need to attend to your business. do you understand? -i hope you're satisfied. with what? tommy wandered onto the girls' floor. what happened? what do you think happened? -you're meant to keep a watch on such things instead of running off at night. i gave him warm milk with rum to calm him down. i'm sorry. the damage is already done. although i'm sure you had a stimulating meeting. -you okay? i want to go home. mr. torrio sends his regrets. how thoughtful. chicago's a distance. -i wouldn't worry on it. open the door and don't stand close to me. we'll go... as soon as we're able. you all came here on short notice. i appreciate that. -and i won't waste anyone's time. each of us has our own interests. each of us has our own needs. none of us can proceed without the goodwill and trust of... of our friends. i'm looking forward to the future. -there's going to be new opportunities. great opportunities. with sympathetic allies in washington and new markets opening up to the west... all the way to chicago. opportunities i intend to share to the benefit of all of us. expansion, cooperation, profit, peace. -isn't that what we all want? you're singing a different tune from last time i come. i've reconsidered my position, frank. i don't blame you. i have a right to protect myself. -what's that got to do with us? we're neighbors, waxey. i got no beef with rosetti. not yet. i don't go looking for a fight. -neither do i. but i'm in one. that's your bad luck. and next time it'll be yours, mr. lonergan. or bill's. or frank's. -and if you weren't already thinking that, you wouldn't have come here tonight. italians, irish, jews... we could be at each other's throats, or we could set rules here that we can all prosper by now and forever. how would we work that? joe masseria is backing gyp rosetti to steal what i've built, what i've struggled for on the steps of my own home. i'm going to fight him. -i'm going to win. i need your help. in exchange, i'll be proud to call every one of you my partner. those present accepted your invitation out of respect for our past dealings and to show our genuine concern for your well-being. -what does that mean, arnold? it means everyone here wishes you all the luck in the world. you won't back me? is that what he persuaded you to do? it didn't take persuading. -i warned you. you wouldn't listen. now look where we are. what did you tell them? that business with you is more trouble than it's worth. -you're letting emotions get in the way of sense. have you known that to be a habit of mine? charlie, meyer. no need to spend the night. i won't forget this. -do you hear me, arnold? i will not forget. arnold. arnold. arnold! -arnold! in a lifetime of natural history filmmaking i've seen many odd animals, but few odder than these proboscis monkeys in borneo. i first saw them 50 years ago. archive: 'late one evening, we had a great stroke of luck.' -'for a troupe of the extraordinary long nosed proboscis monkey 'had come down to the river bank to feed.' 'when i started filming such creatures, 'it was quite easy to show viewers animals that hitherto had only 'been seen in the wild by intrepid explorers.' 'as the years passed, one way and another, we got better 'and better shots and in the process, i had some memorable encounters.' boo! this is a very intelligent animal. -and top of the menu right now is salmon. snarling i think that was pretty clear! i've been lucky enough to live through what might be considered the golden age of natural history filmmaking. almost every year it seemed we found some new way of revealing new things about the natural world. -'in the 1950s, much of the wildlife of the planet was still unfilmed, even unknown. 'and in the following 60 years, 'a succession of technical innovations enabled us to reveal more 'and more of the natural world in increasing detail.' this is the first natural history film i ever saw - in 1934, when i was eight. and i thought it was wonderful. ladies and gentlemen. -let me put you out of your misery at once. you're not going to see me for long, although i am inviting you to come on this trip with me, you will only see me occasionally. the man in the pith helmet is cherry kearton, one of the first people to try and capture the lives of wild animals on film. there are five million penguins on this island, which are called the jackass penguins. i'm always polite to animals, and as i intend to stay with the penguins for several months, -i am naturally adopting my most friendly manner. kearton travelled around the world filming wild animals that had never been filmed before. his approach was hardly scientific, but nonetheless he was very entertaining. his sister, a typical flapper, not content with being one of the fair sex, wants to join the air sex but resigns herself to just a flip here, a flap there, and a flop in between. -for all its obvious flaws, his films captured my childish imagination and made me dream of travelling to far-off places to film wild animals. and this is one of the very cameras cherry kearton used. it's enclosed in a wooden box. it was driven by hand and used 35mm film. this distance across. -within a few years, it was superseded by improved models like this one, which had a metal box and it worked by clockwork and it had a variety of lenses. but it still used hefty 35mm film. happily however, there were smaller versions available. a camera like this. this used 16mm film which was only half the size and it was powered by clockwork. -but unfortunately the bbc thought cameras like this were unprofessional. and there was a huge row as to whether or not i could be allowed to take it. but in the end i did, and it was with this i set off to ramble around the jungles of the world looking for unfilmed animals. my first natural history series, zoo quest, recorded the progress of animal collecting expeditions arranged with the london zoo and brought to the screen, places and animals that had never before been seen on television, or in the cinema, come to that. one targeted the largest lizard in the world which lived on the small indonesian island of komodo. -few people had heard of it and indonesia no-one seemed sure where the island was. eventually, we set off with a fisherman who said that he did, but after a couple of days at sea, i had my doubts. i said to the captain, "you have been to komodo before, haven't you?" and he said, "baloom." and i didn't know what baloom meant. -so i had to go and find my indonesian dictionary and looked it up and it said, "not yet." so, it was clear he didn't know the way. after a week at sea and having survived encounters with coral reefs and whirlpools, we arrived at what i thought must be komodo. and i remember wading ashore across a coral lagoon and finding a tiny little village and saying, "excuse me, is this komodo?" he chuckles -and they, "komodo". so it was ok. the locals recommended we should use a dead goat as bait. once in the bush we began to build a trap using materials gathered from nearby, as i recorded in my journal. this was the dragon trap with a little bait in there. -when the dragon, if he went in the front end, trod on there, it pulled it down which then pulled the ring down which released the rod, which then pulled down, because of the lump of rock on the bottom. so, clunk, down it would go. and now, all we had to do was to wait. there was a rustle in the bush and there was the dragon. our first sight of this magnificent monster. -to my surprise, we were looking at the trap and i heard a noise behind me. i turned round and there was the dragon. that was taken at that particular moment. looking at me straight in the eye from only about a couple of yards away. we looked at each other and i thought, at least i might take your photograph. -so that was the photograph i took of him. then, he rather wearily heaved himself up and strolled round us and went down into the dry riverbed where we'd made the trap. and down came the door. hastily we piled boulders on the door so he couldn't lift it up. we'd got him. -those early films seem pretty ordinarily these days, but they were nonetheless popular because what ever we showed was new to most of our viewers. so, in the 1950s we were taking cameras like this all over the world. and then, an austrian biologist and filmmaker decided to try and take it under water. his name was hans hass, and he developed his own special housing to do that. hans and his wife lotte were the first to bring the wonders of life under the sea to television. -and their programs were all the more sensational because few people at that time had scuba dived. take care, down there are sharks. we are right on the reef's edge. in the '50s, sharks had a terrible reputation. they were the killers of the sea. -anybody in water alongside a shark was clearly courting certain death. here were hans and lotte swimming alongside them. the nation was astounded. the sequence certainly had shock value, but perhaps it was also the first step in changing our perceptions of sharks. and like all television, it was still shown in black and white. -so, during the zoo quest series i had to describe an animal's colour in words. this one was among the most brilliantly coloured of all chameleons in the world. his eyeballs are bright, rust-red and his body and legs striped and blotched with a vivid green. but, television was changing fast. in the 1960s, the bbc was given a second television network operating on a higher technical standard with the specific job of introducing colour television. -and in 1965, i was put in charge of it with an office here in the television centre in london. to demonstrate colour on television could be both accurate and not garish, i commissioned a series about the history of art. it was called civilisation. i'm standing in the sistine chapel and above my head is one of the greatest works of man, -michelangelo's ceiling. it was presented by kenneth clarke and became a great success. so we followed it with other series on a similar scale about science, economics and the history of america. but i knew the most dazzlingly colourful series would be one about wildlife. after eight years in administration, -i decided i wanted to go back to making programs. and i put up a suggestion we should make 13 one-hour programmes in colour tracing the whole history of life on earth. thanks to the development of jet air travel, we were able to film in 30 countries around the globe. and as i traced the history of life on the planet, i could appear to move from one continent to another in the space of a single sequence. the south american rainforests are the richest and varied assemblage of life in the world. -these limestones in morocco... macaques live in many parts of japan. whining life on earth was shown in 100 different countries and seen by perhaps as many as 500 million people. natural history television was now a global phenomenon, revealing our wonderful world in colour to all. -during the series, we made full use of both colour and scuba gear to help show the underwater world as never before. i even tried to follow hans hass' lead exploring the underwater world. one of the problems with underwater films was you cannot talk underwater. most of the time if you have a breathing apparatus on your back, you have something in your mouth. but alistair, one of my producer colleagues, was very keen we should try and introduce the presenter talking to camera underwater. -there was a wonderful new invention called the bubble helmet and this is it. you can put a microphone in one side of it. so, we went down to the swimming pool in the hotel where we were staying and this was screwed on my head. it took a long time to screw it down tight to make it watertight. i put it on like this. -i waded it into the water and i hadn't gone more than a foot underwater, when suddenly, water started bubbling in, very alarming. it was rising around you and i was going to drown. how long would it take to get this off? so i came out in a hurry. -there was a fault, i said. "nonsense," said alistair, "give it to me." he put it on his shoulders. and i, with some pleasure screwed it down quite tight and he waded into the pool. and he came out even quicker than me with water and he was gesticulating to get it off. and i finally took it off and he said, "there's a fault." -i said, "yes, there is". so i happily left the helmet behind and reverted to my old mask and scuba gear when it came to my next underwater assignment - to reveal the extraordinary social behaviour and intelligence of dolphins. they are full of curiosity, they play with odd things they find, such as twigs, and swimming among them leaves you in no doubt that they are highly intelligent. constant clicks and squeaks they will even mimic you as you spin or hang in the water. -until the 1980s, you could only shoot 10 minutes of film under water before you had to come back to the surface, open the underwater housing, take out the camera, put in a new roll of film. but then video cameras solved that problem. videotapes ran for 30 minutes. and now, at last, we had the chance of properly recording animal behaviour underwater. in addition, video cameras were far more sensitive, so we could record at much lower light levels, making artificial lights unnecessary. -it was a huge breakthrough for underwater filming, and crucial to the success of the blue planet series. now it was possible to record for the first time marlin hunting. the seas and oceans were full of animals whose extraordinary behaviour, up till now, no one had ever seen. and the shots just got better and better. cameramen could now stay underwater long enough to capture every moment of the action, and be in the right place at the right time for the most dramatic events. -so now we can capture previously unseen animal behaviour throughout the seas of the world. on land it had, until now, been impossible to film animals behaving naturally at night, when most mammals are active. all we could do was shine a spotlight on them and film them as they ran away. and it was the same problem wherever animals lived in darkness. caves are fascinating places, but difficult places to work in. -when i first came here to this one in gomantong in borneo back in 1972, we had to bring a lot of lights with us in order to film the many millions of birds and bats that live in here. and the droppings of all those creatures make the cave wreak of ammonia. he inhales the smell brings it all back to me. when i was here 40 years ago, the director said, "there's a pile of droppings at the far end of the cave that goes right up to the roof." -"why don't you climb up to the top?" and when i got to the top he shouted, "say something!" so i tried. and...what it is is...these bats... packed tight on the roof here. -they're flying now all around my head. this cave, this particular part of it, oohh! ..makes... (coughs) this ammonia is really quite, quite choking. -..makes a very perfect place for a home. high-pitched chattering one of the really astounding things is that this immense number of bats flying round here in a panic - not one is colliding with the other. nor, indeed, am i in any danger whatsoever of being hit by them. and then the director said, "cut!", the camera stopped, the lights went out, and a bat flew straight in my face. -so perhaps their much praised echo location is not quite as perfect as people say. the film cameras we used then needed normal white light, like these. but the problem with that is that they disturb animals accustomed to living in the dark. but then the security industry developed a new type of camera like this one, which uses infrared light and doesn't need these lights, but nonetheless can see in the dark, as you can see - i turn off one, i turn off the other... ..and now, even though it's pitch dark, you can see me. -most animals, like us, can't see infrared. and that meant that with these cameras, we could now watch them behave perfectly normally in the dark. and that revealed some extraordinary behaviour. and also led to one or two pretty uncomfortable moments. lions are mostly active at night, and seldom roar during the day. -we tried to persuade them to do so with the help of scientists, by playing back the roar of a strange lion to a resident pride. lion roars roars more loudly roars even that didn't work. -but 12 years later, i set off in an open-sided land rover with the latest infrared technology to try again. as usual, they were sleeping. i would have to wait for darkness. insects chirp growl/roar -we drive up. i go on one side, the camera goes on the other. and the lion starts roaring. but the problem is, i can't see where it is. i can't even see where the camera is. -"cue", says the producer. so i start trying to say my piece. trying not to be too frightened of this lion which is somewhere in the blackness, and, as far as i can make out, within a couple of yards of me and no side on the land rover. and i then had to do my piece to camera looking around, seeing where on earth the camera was. and now in the darkness there are a number of them roaring... just around here. -there are two, i know, within three or four yards of where i am, and a third, perhaps 20 yards over there. though it's difficult to tell because it's pitch black. repeated short roars those are not aggressive roars, they are communication roars, but they are quite enough to chill the blood in the blackness of the night. short roars continue -a few years later, similar technology made it possible to film one of the most extraordinary hunting sequences ever recorded, using whole batteries of infrared lights mounted on vehicles. elephant trumpets a solitary lion stands no chance, but the whole pride is here. there are 30 of them, and they are specialist elephant hunters. thunderclaps -this remarkable behaviour could not have been filmed in any other way, and it proved conclusively what many others had doubted - that a big pride of lions can indeed bring down and kill an animal as big as an elephant. other cameras were developed that worked simply by concentrating what little light comes from the stars and moon. and we used such a starlight camera to record an encounter i had with a wonderful new zealand nocturnal bird, the kiwi. we heard of a place where kiwis came out of the bush and walked along the beach looking for sandhoppers. now they find their way by smell, so i thought, how can i conceal myself? -so i lay on the tideline where all the rotting seaweed was lying. and i just lay on it. and this little...enchanting little creature came slowly along, probing its beak into the sand. phwff! blowing out the sand. -coming closer. phwff! 'probing sand with your nostrils is all very well, 'but it does clog them up. 'so you need to blow them clear every now and then.' 'it's sense of smell is so acute, 'it can pick out the largest juiciest hoppers deep in the sand 'without even seeing them.' -our starlight camera can see much better than i can. 'i need a torch to see this extraordinary creature properly. 'but he doesn't seem to mind.' ocean crashes nearby he comes right up to me because his eyes are very small. -poor eyesight is putting it mildly. but he can smell, but he didn't. because the seaweed was even stronger smelling than me. there are other ways of filming in the dark - by using thermal cameras like this one. up above me there are a lot of bats. -and the camera shows them as different colours. the yellow lights here are bats that have just flown in and are still warm from their exertion. as well as revealing where animals are, the thermal cameras can also reveal something of the condition they are in. for example, my face now, because i'm rather hot, is likely to be an orange colour. where i am cooler it will be red, and this probably, is verging on blue. -but if i take a bottle of cold water, that's likely to be black. ahhh! very good, too. thermal cameras also proved useful in the galapagos, to demonstrate some of the remarkable physiological adaptations of reptiles. once they are thoroughly warmed up, marine iguanas can maintain their body temperature just about as constantly as i can. -and what's more, at about the same level, or indeed, slightly higher - around 37 degrees centigrade. but when they go into the cold sea to feed on submerged seaweed, their temperature falls very rapidly. a recently emerged iguana is black. it's chilled to the bone. now they need heat in order to be able to digest that meal of seaweed, and they get that by spread-eagling themselves on these black, hot, sun-baked rocks. -so, thermal cameras reveal just how skilled reptiles are at harnessing the power of the sun. one of the things we discovered when starting work on the trials of life was a new lens which enabled you to have an object close to the camera - a small little creature, perhaps - and yet have all the distance to the far horizon in complete focus. so i would be able to walk up from the distance to something close to camera, all the time being in focus. it's not always easy to decide in these partnerships, which is exploiting which. the balance of advantage is often very delicate. -take for example these ants in australia. they are extremely ferocious, and normally they will rip apart any caterpillar. but see how they're treating this one. when we first saw that shot in the viewing theatre... we all went down to the canteen for a cup of tea and talked about it, and i heard someone next to me, who'd just joined the team talking to her friend, and she said, "fantastic stuff they've got in australia. -amazing! "but i would never want to go there myself, "because they have caterpillars there that are two feet long!" so, sometimes with all our optical tricks, we can get too clever. birdsong -never the less, insects filmed in close-up are truly fascinating. these are tree ants in borneo, and they have a wonderful way of making their nests. i first tried to film how they did so, when i was here in borneo back in the '50s. 'then we noticed this group 'with their jaws locked tight in the lower leaf, 'and their hind legs attached to the upper leaf. 'the colony is constructing a new nest. -'and these patient workers 'are holding two leaves of the future nest in position, 'so that other members 'can fasten them together 'to form the outer wall of their new home.' to get those shots, we had to tear apart the nest to get the ants to work out in the open. these days we can do better than that. this is an optical probe that i can make mover forwards or backwards and even...from side to side. and so with that, you can go into the nest and get shots of the ants behaving totally naturally. -that is a stranger in the nest. that is a little bug which they are attacking. it was technical developments like these that allowed us eventually to enter the world of the insect. a motorised jib arm enables filmmakers to suspend a camera above a column of aggressive driver ants and watch the organised way they hunt through the forest. workers carry the colony's larvae. -ferocious soldiers link legs to form a defensive roof and walls, enclosing the column. were the camera or cameraman to accidentally touch just one of these soldiers, they would all immediately attack. but they're blind, and they can't see the camera hanging just centimetres above them. so we can track along with them as the army takes its prey back to the bivouac where the queen is waiting. wildlife film-making can take a lot of patience. -cameramen may have to spend hours and hours, if not days and weeks, to film one particular action. but that can be helped using modern security technology. and we used such technology to get a shot of something that as far as i know, had never been filmed before in the wild. rattlesnakes hunting. scientists working in new york state had implanted radio transmitters in a group of rattlesnakes so that each could be found by using an aerial. -there he is. the camera crew placed remotely controlled cameras and infrared lights next to a snake lying in ambush. the cameras were attached to motion detectors that would turn them on if anything moved in their field of vision. the following night i checked the replay. there's a mouse. -it's pitch dark and the mouse clearly has no idea the snake is there. bu the snake is well aware of the mouse. he's worked out that that is the path along which the mice run. oh, my goodness! that's a dead mouse, all right. -so it was that technology designed to keep burglars out of our homes, enabled us to record the rattlesnake's hunting strategy in the wild. another revelatory film technique involves playing with time - slowing down the action. cameramen have long down that, simply by increasing the number of images taken per second. kestrels are known as wind-hoverers, because of their apparent ability to hang motionless in the air. and slow motion photography enables us to see details of their flying technique that we can't see with the naked eye. -by filming this trained bird, with this special camera, we can slow down the motion and see exactly how they do it. it's flying at the same speed as the oncoming wind, and the air flowing over its wings provides just enough lift top keep it airborne. by flying as slowly as this, they risk stalling, because the windflow over the wing doesn't provide enough lift. slowing down the action by ten times, we can see how the kestrel extends the finger-like projection on the leading edge of its wing and spreads its tail-feathers to generate more lift. commercial airliners do the same thing when they adjust their wing flaps to slow them down for landing. -if a kestrel is to see its prey successfully while hovering, it has to keep its head perfectly still, not easy when the wind is constantly trying to blow you off position. but in slow motion, you can see how the kestrel responds immediately to changes in the wind. constantly adjusting the set of its wings and allowing it's neck to stretch and contract. so that while its body is constantly moving, its eyes stay fixed and can spot the slightest movement on the ground below. one of my favourite slow-motion moments was when i was able to fool a lovesick hoverfly with a peashooter. -it might seem that he's absolutely motionless, but, in fact, he's having to make continual changes to adjust for slight currents in the air. it's an amazing piece of acrobatics, far better than anything that we could do in a helicopter. and it's all done in order to impress the female to show her that he is superb at holding his territory. with his superb eyesight, he's ready to spot anything that might whiz by him at high speed that could be a female. and i might just be able to fool him with a peashooter. -by watching his response slowed down by about 50 times, it's clear that the male is indeed so hyped up that he will pursue any fast-moving object that comes near him in the hope that it might be a female. those poor males must have been exhausted by the time i'd finished with them. by combining the best macro-lenses with digital slow-motion cameras, we were able to reveal the extreme athletic prowess of some even tinier creatures. these springtails, as they're name suggests, have a rather novel way of jumping. they have a tiny two-pronged lever beneath their abdomen. -one small flick from it can catapult them six inches, some 15 centimetres, into the air. it's the equivalent of a human being jumping over the eiffel tower. so with slow-motion cameras, we can watch actions and distinguish details that are impossible to see with the naked eye. at the other end of the scale, we can manipulate time to speed up excessive slow action. this is a time-lapse studio where you can control lights and cameras very precisely. -a film camera shoots 25 frames per second, but if you modify one so that it only shoots one frame per second and then show the film at normal speed, well, then, you increase the speed of action by 25m times. and as the sophistication of time-lapse photography has increased, so we've been able to show that plants can be as competitive and aggressive as many an animal. and it was the mastery of time-lapse that allowed us to make a series called the private life of plants. condense three months into 20 seconds, and the desolation of winter quickly warms into the riot of spring. speed a week into a minute, and you can sense the urgency with which the ground-living plants race to unfurl their flowers. -of all the woodland plants, the humble bramble is one of the most aggressive. it waves its shoots agitatedly from side to side as if feeling for the best way forward. the invading stem's backward-pointing spines give it the grip it needs to climb almost anything that stands in its way. it can advance as much as seven centimetres in a day. now digital cameras allow us to see how a shot is developing while we are still taking it, instead of having to wait till it was finished as we used to have to do with film cameras. -and we can also use computers attached to small motors to move a camera in-between exposed frames, so that the camera can, in fact, travel alongside the plant. using this new technology, it became possible to condense the arrival of spring in a woodland into a few seconds. but the wonderful thing about wildlife film making is that no matter how much you've seen and filmed, there's always going to be something to surprise you. i remember back in 1994, we were filming nepenthes rajah, the largest pitcher plant in the world, growing up in the mountains of borneo. and i made an assumption about how it obtained its nitrogen fertiliser. -i guess this one... contains... two or three pints of liquid. it's so big that it catches not just insects but even small rodents. and one was recorded that has in it the body of a drowned rat. so if ever there was a carnivore among plants, this is it. -but i was wrong. in 2010, scientists discovered that the plant gets its nitrogen in a quite different way. and we couldn't resist going back to see of we could find out what the truth was. mount kinabalu in sabah is home to many rajah pitcher plants. buzzing they certainly seem to attract insects. -that fall into their bowls just as other pitchers do, but they also have larger visitors. a tree shrew. it's licking the underside of the lid where the pitcher secretes nectar with which it lures visitors. but even though its backside is hanging over the bowl, it doesn't seem to be in any danger of falling in and drowning. so what's going on? -it leaves a clue. a dropping. so the pitcher is a tree shrew toilet. the tree shrew feeds by licking the secretions from the pitcher plant's lid and the pitcher plant gets its fertiliser by collecting the tree shrew's droppings. wildlife cameramen are always trying to film some piece of animal behaviour that no-one has ever see before. -and aerial photography enable then to do just that. in the early days, we occasionally managed to get up in a small plane to get a shot of the landscape. but the plane vibrated so much that you couldn't use long lenses to get close-ups of animals and if you went low the roar of the engine frightened them. so we tried other forms of aerial transport. balloons were a little quieter, but they took you where the wind blew them, not where you wanted to go. -and getting steady shots was still difficult. it wasn't until the invention of a kind of mount that could hold the camera almost miraculously free of vibration that it was possible to use the long lenses necessary in order to film animals from a height and they didn't even know you were there. it's almost impossible to follow a wild dog hunt at ground level through the treacherous swamplands of the okavango delta in africa. but the planet earth series used a helicopter with a new stabilising mount that kept the camera vibration-free and you could get close-ups from so high up that the animals below didn't know you were there. there they go. -they're racing. they're racing. four dogs all spread out. tighten up a much as you can. by inter-cutting aerial shots and shots from the ground, we could show how the dogs worked as a team, with fresh animals joining the hunt to harry their prey and cut off its escape. -this new perspective gives us the big picture, helping us to understand behaviour we could only see fragments of before. stay with him. he's almost got him! they're heading towards the water. ooh! -the croc's gonna get the impala. so now we have the techniques to film almost anything on land or in the sea or in the air. but to get pictures of animals that lived in the past, you have to recreate life. in the early days, our attempts were pretty crude. we used solid models of extinct fish placed in swamps to show the arrival of amphibians on land. -we moved on to line drawings of dinosaurs and i even appeared alongside one. it's easy to imagine some 12 foot species of peragasaurus like dimetrodon lying basking on the rocks in the early morning sun. and then we began to animate the drawings, but not very realistically. it would take the advent of computer animation to make them move like real animals. we wanted to use these new computer techniques to bring to life a moa, the giant, extinct ostrich-like bird on new zealand. -first of all, i had to walk into a woodland glade holding a moa bone. then what would happen would be that that bone would be suspended, i would take my hands away, and all the rest of the bones and the skeleton would appear from nowhere and materialise to form the complete skeleton. so i had to walk in, hold the bone, then take my hands away and let it drop, which seemed a silly thing to do. but electronic trickery made it stay there and then added the rest of the bones of the moa's skeleton. it had just three toes. -its pelvis and its spine lead up to an extraordinarily long neck. this bird stood over six feet, two metres tall. but then we wanted it to walk away. and so what the computer expert got us to do was to imagine where it was going to stand and then conceal ourselves in the vegetation, each of us holding a bit of fishing line attached to a branch. and with our computer expert conducting us as though he was conducting an orchestra, the moa came in, this branch was brushed away, and then it reached up and pecked another leaf and the leaf moved and then it moved away and the bushes moved. -it was really quite convincing. the first human settlers on these islands saw these giants alive and called them moas. among them were the tallest birds that ever existed, that weighed over 200 kilos, 400 pounds. so now we could recreate extinct creatures whenever we liked, in their entire full-colour, animated glory. a succession of technological advances has certainly changed the way we make natural history films. -these days, with every year that passes, we seem to get more and more equipment. longer lenses, more electronic bits of kit. but in the end, often the most memorable shot comes from just one camera and one person with a deep understanding of the natural world. to film a wild snow leopard was once the ultimate challenge for a wildlife cameraman. doug allen went to the himalayas to attempt to do what so many cameramen before him had tried but failed. -i guess this is where you could say it really starts. we're up here in snow leopard country. you look around and anywhere and at any time, you might just see it. these are big, big mountains and there are not many snow leopards. nevertheless, doug took to his hide and waited. -he sighs this is tedious stuff. not a sign. if you got just a little bit of a hint, a wee bit of a sighting now and again, your spirits would be lifted. but right now, i'd swap a little bit of this animal's charisma for a little bit more visibility. -and things didn't improve, even after two weeks. yeah, of course, it's boring. it's as boring as hell. after seven weeks of patiently sitting and watching these distant shots are all doug managed to film. so he had to return home empty-handed. -the following winter cameraman mark smith took up the challenge and tried a different location this time in pakistan. we've just got a lot of snow and we'll be able to track snow leopard. so we'll have a lot better chances of filming it. it's just fantastic. after that promising start, things didn't go so well for mark. -he and the crew spent a fruitless month trudging through the snow. mark spent all christmas in the mountains with no sign of a snow leopard. but it was a much happier new year. just... we just got a report that there's a snow leopard up on the ridge. -and we were too low where we were before, so we're just trying to get some height to get a better view of it. finally, mark was rewarded with his first ever glimpse. i looked up onto the ridge and i could see this leopard-shaped rock, which i'd seen a million times before. and i looked through binoculars and it was a leopard just sat there. it was perched just on the top of a rock and it looked down at us and sat down in a sort of sphinx-like posture. -a few days later, mark's patience paid off. there was not jut an adult female, but with her a one-year-old cub. overall, mark spent eight months in pakistan. and his dedication enabled him to document the most intimate moments of a snow leopard's life. including a hunt. -silently she positions herself above her prey. bleating screeches the revelations brought by wildlife films today were beyond my imagination when i set out 60 years ago. they have transformed not only our understanding of the natural world, but our attitudes towards it. -there have been a lot of changes in the way that we've filmed the natural world during the last 50-60 years, but there's also been a great change in the way we understand that world and that's what i'll be looking at in the next programme. subtitles by red bee media itd you just walk straight in. head down. no eye contact. -the second the drop has been made you go, go, go, and get the hell out of there. don't you think you're taking this just a tiny bit too... too? seriously? they're all out there, you know. -they've probably already spotted

what if she asks you where he is? i don't know! -i don't know what i do when i'm angry! help me, dude we have to do something...please what do you mean 'where's tom'? you came here before me didn't you see him? -no, i didn't notice you didn't notice? what is this, ram? i was tensed about work tom! -tom! where are you? tom! ram? why are you just sitting there? -get up and search, ram tom... tom...! senthil? can you please help us? -tom! are you really searching? it sounds to me like bipolar disorder but i can't be sure without seeing the patient what does bipolar disorder mean? -bipolar...as in 2 poles...2 extremes but this doesn't mean it's split personality one extreme is depression the other is mania in the case of depression patients will be sad loss of appetite and sleep they'll feel really guilty for small things in fact, it might even lead to suicide in the case of mania, they get angry for the tiniest of things -sometimes they feel happy for no reason it's called grandiose thinking for example, the patient might even think that he i she can lift a car and they might suddenly get violent and try and beat people up they could even beat themselves up you can't really say there's a reason forthis -anybody can get this disease at any time doctor, it can be cured, can't it? you can't say it that simply sometimes the disease comes once and then leaves but in some patients it may repeat -they need to be medicated for long bring the patient to me and i'll check it out but don't say anything about this say something else and bring him and i'll check it out -my blood ran cold when i heard what the doctor said i thought i'd somehow tell ram to go see the doctor i called him over to stay the night that's when i realized how dangerous he was what did you want to talk about that was so important? i haven't stayed even one night without janani she felt so bad -but she let me come because it's you cheers! why are you so silent? we are hanging out after so long and you look like you are haunted by a ghost it's not that... -you are a bit different these days do you realize that? your emotions oscillate between joy and anger you are only human if you get happy and angry, right? right, senthil? -no, dude, you over-do it it's a bit... what? are you calling me crazy? that's not what i meant! you are a bit abnormal... -abnormal? dude! don't get angry... then? if you talk like this? -what do you expect me to do? no dude...that day also, you were so violent i went and saw a doctor that day... enough don't say anything more dude, please listen to me stop it... -no, he said something about some bipolar disorder or something if you come with me 1 time... stop it listen to me! stop! -calm down, ram! calm down ram! ram! a man with a grey t-shirt -we didn't see anything how long have i been like this? for a few days... i'm not sure does janani know? -no, i don't think so when she's around, you are- dude, let's tell her about this no! what do i do now? i told you before there's a doctor i know -let's go see him! we will... am i insane? don't talk like that! it'll be okay... -don't worry i'm scared, da i need to conduct some tests after we do that we can take the next step by tests you mean... -blood tests? scan? no, no...nothing like that you need to answer a questionnaire truthfully and then we'll proceed -when i saw the doctor's face, i realized something was wrong bipolar people were usually violent and manic or sad and silent but he said he'd never seen anyone who showed symptoms ...of both at the same time ram's condition was severe he asked me to somehow ask ram to get admitted -dude, he said you need some more check-ups but he said it was best to get admitted we should tell janani- no, no! please! -how will she love me if she sees me like this? she'll only be scared of me please let's not tell her i understand...but if what happened to me happens to her next time? can you take that? i'm sorry but i have to tell her she can't even take it when i get an ordinary fever -she won't eat and she'll keep crying how will she handle this? and if i get admitted? what happens to her then? she has to look after a patient like me -and go to and fro from hospital to home... don't talk like this she'd give her life for you i know...that's what i don't want herto do knowing that he wasn't able to control himself he was scared to be alone with you -what is this, da? ram? what is this? i took a vow to go to sabarimalai i can see that but why didn't you tell me? it suddenly struck me -janani, senthil will stay with us for a week his house owner suddenly kicked him out sorry, janani i said i'd stay at a hotel but he wouldn't listen no, no... feel right at home -how's your hand? better it doesn't look like you fell down from the stairs it looks like you got beaten up by a bunch of men senthil, i've kept pillows and sheets on the sofa for you ram, aren't you coming in? no, janani, i'm going on a pilgrimage, right? -i have to sleep alone janani! leave me alone go away...go love, i can suffer in silence go... i don't need your presence i'm a zombie, the living dead let miles distance us instead -all the places you touched... go, love, i've been scorched! love, the minutes i stayed away were meant to keep you at bay just leave me and go, sweetie go in search of your 'bodhi tree'! distorting my destiny you chose you gave me grief, love adios! -i suffer here on my own, go, my love, i need to be alone i'm a zombie, the living dead let miles distance us instead i am alive for your sake girl, my life is at stake! if you show me love's gift i'll never forget the benefit the times we spent without dissent isn't there a way for that life to replay? together we took delight in exploring many a night -aren't we destined to see first ray of sunlight joyously? my dear, leave no trace go away from this place if my love you don't perceive then it is your loss, love, leave though my dreams did shatter you stood by me, now disappear all the places you touched... go, love, i've been scorched! -love, the minutes i stayed away were meant to keep you at bay because ram didn't get admitted the doctorwas worried that he wouldn't get proper treatment however much he forced ram, he was unable to convince him one day, he called and gave me an injection he said i should use it if i couldn't control him -my parents have come back from out of town i'll be back in an hour maximum you take care of yourself i knew you didn't like it but i continued staying at your house i had no other choice i knew you'd noticed ram's odd behavior but only i knew how upset he was that he couldn't do anything about it he wanted to work things out between the two of you -despite ram's protests you forced him and took him out ram had his treatment that day that's why he lied to you ...and sent you away with some silly excuse hello? excuse me? -i'm talking to you! what's your problem? it's nothing, it's trivial please leave it no, but he's very tensed about it yourfriend only started it but it's okay... -leave it what's your problem? no, it's his fault! okay, i'll apologize please just go -you can'tjust indecently hit anybody sir, your man only created the problem what did he do? he was the one behaving indecently i can't just stand there while he misbehaves with my wife- hey! -what's wrong with you? hey! lift him up! is this a cinema fight? ! -hold his head up hit him there hit him right here hit him properly there's no blood what an idiot! what are you doing? -leave him! what's wrong with you? hit him 4 times and leave him is that enough? no, it isn't -why? he hit me in front of a girl it was humiliating then scar him for life! okay, bro leave it! -let me go! leave me go listen to me ram...! ram realized that if you couldn't handle him getting hurt you wouldn't be able to take this in your stride -even if you got teary eyed ram would feel choked when i saw how affected he was by your tears that day ...i knew he'd never tell you nor ever get admitted what are you looking at? what? can you see anything there? -what? what are you saying? i can see something dude, there's nothing there i'm getting freaked out maybe we should go to the hospital -no! no hospital! no need- i was kidding, there's no one there ram, don't play with me don't lie no i wasn't- -listen to me let's go to the hospital no hospital, buddy i was simply saying there's really no one there i'm not mad okay, okay, calm down -no need to go to the hospital water...water for the medicine i knew ram was lying the doctor had said he'd have hallucinations and he did i told the doctor about it he said that we'd have to start shock treatment -ram why are you so late? i had work at the office - is that true, senthil? he doesn't know he just came when did you leave from the office? -just now...about 15 minutes ago you are lying, ram! you are lying to me i'll leav- wait here! -where are you going?

(music stops) dude! i was about to bollywood this bitch. earlier today, i invited -professor stephen hawking to join me in the popular online game words with friends. moments ago, he accepted my request. do you understand what that means? that somewhere right now stephen hawking is saying, (imitating stephen hawking): -"damn it. i meant to click no." i'll walk you through it. the game is not called words with strangers. no, it's not even called -words with acquaintances. it is called words with... i'm not finishing your sentence. you pulled the plug on my funk. -friends! it's words with friends! which stephen hawking and i officially are. now all i need is a bunk bed with a slide; i'll have everything i've ever wanted since i was six years old. -that's really nice, sheldon. i'm happy for you. and i'm happy for you, too. you are now friends with someone who is officially friends with stephen hawking. enjoy it, boys. -you may have peaked. sheldon, i know stephen hawking. i worked with him. and if they ever come out with a game called words with people you once worked with, you'll be off to the races. -sheldon, i don't think this actually means... (tablet chimes) hold that thought! professor hawking has made a move. boy, oh, boy. oh, it's only a matter of time before we're coming up with fun nicknames for each other. -i'll be coop. he'll be wheels. if he's okay with that. all right. (disco music resumes) -crank up the ac, boy! it's gonna get hot in here! wait! == sync, corrected by elderman == so, i was taking a shower this morning, and when i got out, i started to dry off with what i thought was a towel but turned out to be -howard's mom's underwear. i had to take another shower. it wasn't enough. nothing will ever be enough. i once looked in sheldon's underwear drawer. -he yelled at me. but now i know what it looks like and he can never take that away. there's a book under here. oh, i'll get that. i got it. -i got it. no, no, it's... why do you have a history textbook? it's not a big deal. just taking a class at the pasadena community college. -that's great. i didn't know you wanted to go back to school. it's just one history class. look, i didn't finish college, so i thought i would give it a try. not to mention, your acting career is going south like sherman. -read about it in your book. why would you be embarrassed to tell us? no, i'm not embarrassed. i just didn't want anyone to know because i haven't told leonard yet. why wouldn't you tell leonard? -because it's me going back to school, and he's gonna be all "you can do it," and "how can i help?" and "i'm so proud of you." ugh! i just can't believe you could keep something like that from him. you guys have got to be the weirdest couple i know. -really? you can't think of anyone weirder? i can, (whispers): but she's sitting right there. -yes! i play the word "quiver " with a triple letter and a double word score for 72 points. that ought to let the air out of your tires, hawking. wow, my boyfriend is friends with stephen hawking and my new dandruff shampoo doesn't smell like tar. everything really is coming up amy. -it is glorious. one of the greatest intellects of our time has agreed to engage with me in a gentlemanly battle of wits. and i'm spanking him so hard his grad students won't be able to sit down. you know, when one male dominates another, his testosterone level rises. what's your point? -it's exciting to think you might be getting a testosterone level. (tablet chimes) ooh! my friend stephen just played the word "act" for 18 points. that's right, i call him stephen now. because i checked, and he was not okay with wheels. -oh, you could turn his "act" into "extract," and it would be for double points. amy. why would you give me a word? now, if i play "extract" it would be cheating. -sorry. although, i could play the completely unrelated and better word "extract" ethical conundrum avoided. thanks, brain. spaghetti okay? -it's crunchy. just the way i like it. yeah, i don't think the water was really boiling. it's great. i love it. -(chuckles) okay, listen, there's something i need to tell you. i've been thinking about going back to school for a while now. so a couple months ago, i started taking a history class at the community college. oh. -that's great! great, great, great! why wait so long to tell me? i don't want you to make a big deal out of it. why do you think i'd be like that? -i get it, you're taking one class. it's nice. maybe if it goes well, you take another, you enroll full-time. ooh, be sure to keep an eye on which credits transfer to a four-year college. you're making it a big deal. -sorry. whatever. it's all good. anyway, that's it. i just thought you should know. -am i allowed to ask how the class is going? it's really good. we've been talking about the origins of slavery. turn in my first paper tomorrow. great topic. -i can help with that. there are lots of different perspectives you can take: economic, sociological, political... hey, this is my paper. and my perspective is that slavery is bad. -oh, and my professor's black, so i'm pretty sure that's the right answer. can i take a look? no, leonard, this is my thing. okay, i get it. thank you. -it's like when i started doing chin-ups; i didn't want you to see until i could do one. fyi, really close. thank you. now behave yourself and eat your dinner. -maybe later, if you're lucky, you get to sleep with a college girl. really? 'cause i went to four years of college and five years of grad school, that never happened once. i think the next time i have to speak to a call center in india, i'm going to try using an american accent. -why? because when i use my regular voice, i feel like i'm making fun of them. that's ridiculous. not to mention, your american accent is terrible. -dude, my accent is brilliant. (american accent): hey, my snow-white american friends, let's put some cow meat on the barbecue and eat it until we're all obese. this is what you sound like. (imitating koothrappali): -i think i'm talking in an american accent, but it really sounds like i'm wearing a set of giant dentures. sheldon, do i really sound like that? (imitating koothrappali): tell him he sounds like that. -sheldon, you okay? it's been three days. why hasn't stephen hawking played a word? the guy's a genius. maybe you weren't challenging enough for him. -not challenging? i was humiliating the man. i was thinking of writing a book called a brief history of the time i made stephen hawking cry like a little girl. there's the problem. you can't beat hawking like that. -he hates to lose. everyone knows the guy's a big baby. i mean, forget the wheelchair, he should be in a stroller. really? one time when i was working with him, he said that johnny depp was in the matrix. -i told him he was wrong, but he kept insisting. so i looked it up online and showed him. well, the next day, he had a pizza party, and everyone got invited but me. and then he was all, (imitating stephen hawking): -"your invitation must have gotten lost in the matrix." good lord, what have i done? (american accent): good lord, what have i done? terrible. -all right, hotshot, let's hear your indian. (indian accent): i can't sit on that elephant, ass is on fire from eating all this curry. okay, yeah, that's pretty good. please be good. -please be good. uh-huh. uh-huh. okay. she writes like she cooks. -play. play. play. play. play. -what are you doing? trying to use a jedi mind trick to control stephen hawking. play. play. oh... -he must be wearing a tinfoil hat or something. i did a bad thing. does it affect me? no. then suffer in silence. -play. play. play. (knocking) stephen hawking... stephen hawking... -stephen hawking. penny started taking a class. she wrote a paper, she didn't want me to read it, i went behind her back and i read it anyway. stephen hawking hates me. -i don't know what to do. i mean, the paper's terrible. but if i tell her, she'll know that i read it and she'll get really mad. i was beating him so bad, he doesn't want to be friends anymore. why does everyone love me except stephen hawking? -is it possible we're having two different conversations? how would i know? i'm not listening to you. hang on. okay. -here's what we're gonna do. chess clock. we each get five minutes to talk about our problems. we'll take turns. each turn will consist of a statement and a helpful response from the friend. -begin. i humiliated stephen hawking in a game of words with friends. he stopped playing. and now we're not friends anymore. he's probably busy. -you're worried about nothing. give it a couple more days. i'm sure he'll play, and you'll see that everything's fine. my turn. i can't let penny hand in a bad paper, but how do i tell her it's bad without letting her know that i read it? -hmm. beats me. now... i know hawking's not busy because i can see he's playing other people right now. maybe since you're so good, he's taking his time to meet the challenge. -i want penny to enjoy school... wolowitz told me he's a big baby! but i didn't know that, and i played "extract" for 82 points. it's all amy's fault. she told me to play it. -i have got to cut her loose. sheldon, i wasn't done talking. she hands in the paper tomorrow. i know i could help her. and she's my girlfriend... -i-i should be allowed to help her. why aren't i allowed to help her? yeah, i hear you, brother. no. you need to give me some advice. -fine. women, huh? no... specific to my situation. blonde women, huh? -empathetic! it sucks to be you. i quit. leonard, wait. no. -i listened to your dumb thing. leonard, come back. leonard, come back. leonard, come back. what? -oh, of course, it only works on the weak-minded. (singsongy): good morning, sunshine. leonard. it's 8:00 a.m. -it's like the middle of the night. i know, but i have to go to work, and i made you breakfast. oh, wow, that's so sweet. hey, what's this? uh, before you open that, um, are you familiar with the story of "the shoemaker and the elves"? -elves? come on, leonard. it's too early for lord of the rings. no, no. listen, um... -once upon a time, there was this shoemaker and when he went to bed at night, elves would sneak in and they would make all these amazing shoes for him. and when the shoemaker woke up in the morning, he-he would be super happy, not mad at the elves at all. open it. okay. (clears throat) -"an examination of the economic, cultural, and political roots of slavery in the old south: 1619 to 1865." what the hell is this? don't ask me. a little elf did it. -so let me get this straight. you just assumed my paper would be bad so you wrote one for me? no, i assumed it would be good. then i read it. what? -! no, i... i mean, it was good. there were just a few things that needed a little polishing. w... -you changed every word. that's not true. uh... "slavery." "1619," -your name at the top-- that's all you. you are such an ass. this is exactly why i didn't want to tell you i was taking a class in the first place. please don't be upset. -i-i just... i didn't want you ending up with a bad grade and get discouraged and give up on the idea of going back to school. right, because me being in school is so important to you. that way, you wouldn't have to be dating someone who's only a waitress. oh, come on, you know that's not true. -do i? listen to me. i need to do this on my own. if i fail, i fail. if i pass, i pass. -do you get it? i'm sorry. i was just trying to help. yeah, well, next time don't. oh, and since you like stories so much, this is not "the shoemaker and the elves," okay? -this is, "give a man a fish, he eats it. "teach a man to fish, he... sells it or something." whatever, i don't know! it's just a lot better than what you did, you big jerk! (door slams) you ever hear back from hawking? -no. it would appear as if i've lost him. stupid brain. it'll be okay. how can it be okay? -stephen hawking's a genius and he talks like a robot. it's everything i've ever wanted in a friend. yeah, but if he's a sore loser, maybe you're better off without him. you're right. i guess i just have to make lemonade out of the two of you. -(chime) (gasps) he played! he played! coop and rolling thunder are together again. he was okay with that nickname. -so, now all you have to do is let him win. yeah, way ahead of you. i will play the word "at" for two measly points, throwing the game and thus securing my friendship with the smartest man in the world. what are you waiting for? -hit "send." i can't. losing on purpose is intellectually dishonest. so don't do it. oh, but i want to be hawking's friend. -so do it. no, but if i do, i'll be a phony, a sellout, a hollywood poser. then don't do it. i won't. this feels right. -my mother always said, "to thine own self be true." good for you. 'course she also told me that every animal in the world got on one boat, so what does she know? and send. oh, hey. -haven't heard from you in a couple days. you still mad at me? nope. i have no reason to... "b" mad at you. -minus. (chuckles) wow. that's right. on my paper. -not yours, mine, you punk-ass elf. i don't know what to say. hmm, how about, (mockingly): "gee, penny, you're smarter than i thought. "you may be the one in school, -"but i'm the one who learned a lesson. i'm so stupid, penny. duh..." she sounds exactly like you! how'd it go with leonard? -(sighs) i don't think he'll be making that mistake again. good. so, i know this goes without saying, but if either of you tell leonard you helped me rewrite this paper, i will beat you both with a bag of oranges. -got it. understood. now, ladies, we got a b-minus on this paper. i think if we put our heads together, on the next one we could get an "a." uh, but we got you a b-minus on purpose to make it believable. -believable? you saying i'm not smart? no, no! you're smart. that's better. -(quietly): i feel like i'm in high school again. yeah, doing the prom queen's homework so she'll like us. i know. it's finally working. -(phone rings) it's stephen hawking. (stutters) answer it. i want to hear. professor hawking, how nice of you to call. -hello. i really enjoyed our game, dr. cooper. oh, me, too. or should i say dr. loser? ha, ha, ha. -yes, congratulations. you won fair and square. uh, very impressive, sir. do you like brain teasers? oh, i love brain teasers. -what does sheldon cooper and a black hole have in common? they both suck. neener neener. == sync, corrected by elderman == this season on political animals... -come on, baby, say the words. i am gonna run for president... without you. i am running against you. and i will resign in 48 hours. -annie, will you marry me? yes. you know, working with anne on the engagement party has been a dream. you don't make it easy to love you. it's not supposed to be easy. -easy is where you can spend the night while i'm moving out. my parents, they have spent their lives putting this country before our family. somebody has to put our family first. we can't take another run. he's just pissed because his queer son was having an affair with reeves. -(grunts) you remember susan berg, right? nice to see you again. you are gorgeous. t.j.: -before the suicide story broke, i went five months without doing blow. i was good, dougie. we had a deal, and you can't even go one day. stop! -without getting high? sam, call an ambulance! we made a choice, bud. we put our goals for this country ahead of the well-being of our child, and that is a decision we have to live with for the rest of our lives. elaine: -dear president garcetti, for over two years, it has been an honor to serve this administration as secretary of state. i'm deeply grateful that you placed your trust in me to represent our country around the world. you have allowed me to be a firsthand witness to historic changes in every corner of the globe. here at home, leading the department has been a joy. it is staffed by the most intelligent, dedicated and loyal people i know. -mm, how was san diego? fine. busy. you didn't call. you always call. -i'm sorry. i set certain goals for myself when i accepted this job. i'm proud that i accomplished many of them. but as always, there are some intractable problems that i must leave for others to solve. (reporters clamoring) -i'm sorry, sir. someone from the hospital must've tipped them off. (bud sighs) i just can't stop embarrassing you, can i? t.j., i got some experience in dealing with these assholes when all they want to do is see how ashamed i am of myself. -now, you know what i used to do? i used to imagine you and your brother smiling and waving at me. now, okay? we can do this. come on. -this experience has profoundly changed me... changed the way i see our country's future and our standing in the world. aunt susan, wake up! wake up! come on. mom's making waffles! -elaine: " sir... "... i deeply regret it has come to this, "but i can no longer in good conscience -"serve this administration. "the values that have guided you of late are not ones i support"? it goes on to say that the feeling is mutual. and that since i serve at the pleasure of the president, it's only right that i should resign. it's just not the polite pro-forma thing i was expecting. -well, he knows i'm running against him. and i want it on record that there's a real parting of the ways here on moral grounds. i think it's great. bill thinks it's great. show it to the undersecretaries as a courtesy, and then bring it back to me for the signature. -i don't want this one signed with the autopen. susan: your mother's resignation? i made a copy. you're seeing it before garcetti does. -but this is it. we're even. no more double agent. of course. i understand. -and you know, about what happened between us before... douglas, don't. what happened on the plane was a mistake, okay? i'm getting married. you mean you're not throwing off your picture-perfect bride to share bunk beds with me at my sister's? -we're not in college. you don't need the one-night stand breakup speech. i've heard it and given it. just so you know, i don't normally do that kind of thing. -and i'm not the kind of journalist who sleeps with her sources. so we're even now. isn't that what you wanted? i should get back. i... -i don't imagine i have a lot of time before the news is official. good-bye, douglas. you're still a good guy... even though you betrayed your mom and screwed around on your fiancé. somehow, you are still a good guy. -and i haven't met a lot of those. georgia: holy shit. this is huge. this changes our entire timeline. -we have to add this letter to the story and run them asap. susan: no. that is precisely why i showed you this. you wanted to cover this with me for a reason: respect. -that takes crafting and building a story, and it takes running it at the right time. we... we have elaine barrish's resignation letter. and when we run it, it will be the crown jewel of the whole piece. if we drop this now... then it's all about the letter. -we'll get a huge headline, agreed. but as journalists, what have we accomplished? we got a piece of information. what's behind it? why did she write it? -why did she write it now? there are a thousand questions that need to be asked and answered before people read this. you're protecting her. i'm protecting the story and my credibility with my source. i showed you this against my better judgment because i thought this was a teachable moment. -waiting for the announcement was our deal, so that's what we're doing. we clear? yeah, sure. (jet engines whining) i don't want to hold you up, mr. president, but i thought we should resolve this before you leave. -handwritten on official letterhead. always a lady. i'll leave the timing of the announcement to you, sir. even with everything we've been through, i'm gonna miss working with you, sir. -why didn't you tell me what collier did to you and your son? honestly? i was given the impression that you knew. elaine, how did we get to the point where you actually believe i'd approve something like that? -and collier's telling, uh, telling everybody those bruises were from a tennis match. they're not? bud didn't tell you. he got them from your husband. your ex-husband. -bud? my bud? he punched the vice president? right up in the oval. i had to pull him off my desk. -elaine, i can count on my left hand how many people i admire in government. you're one of them. yes, sir. i've got the gec this weekend in paris. when i get back... -i'd like your decision. my decision? don't quit this administration, elaine. run with me. be my vice president. -say yes this time. mr. president... i'm not saying this because i think you'll beat me. i'm saying it because it's the right thing to do. we are better for this country together than we are apart. -you know it. i asked you once before to be my vice president, you said no. i let you. that was a big mistake for both of us. if i were to accept your offer-- and i'm not saying i would-- -i would have to suspend my campaign. if you're not being completely honest with me right now, i would be shit out of luck, wouldn't i? yep. "please run with me"? -i signed it so you'd have proof. i put the "please" down there so you wouldn't think it's an order. thoughtful. yeah. well... -i'm not accepting your resignation. not today. so you still work for me. but i am ordering you to think about it. have a good trip, sir. -douglas: that was fast. ah... like pulling off a band-aid. that's the last drink i'm gonna have for a long time. -last time you tried simpatico sobriety with t.j. you lasted about two hours. what bee flew up your butt? hey. how did it go with garcetti? -did he accept? do we have a date effective? let's just get t.j. settled first, okay? bud: hey, everybody! -oh, hey. hi, in here. oh, sweetie. welcome. mama. -we stopped by t.j.'s to pick up a few things. oh, hitting the heavy stuff, nana, huh? oh, i'm stocking up on soda for both of us. and this time, i'm gonna last longer, i promise. margaret and i fixed up your room. -i'm sure you'll feel very much at home. t.j.: well, uh... look, this isn't my first rodeo. so i think i'm gonna go lie down. -the sedatives are still in my system. yeah, i... i can get that, dad. thank you. ha. -pathetic, huh? 30 years old and i'm living with my mother. again. so, uh... what's next? -are you gonna go back into rehab? because that's worked so well for me in the past? you ever wonder how we shared the same womb, but we turned out so differently? like i inherited all of dad's worst qualities, and you got all of mom's best ones. what are you talking about? -i make mistakes, too. big ones. yeah? like what? like... -i'm... i'm just saying, we're not that different. what's this? oh, annie must have brought it over from our apartment. you have a picture of the two of us in your apartment? -dude, that's so gay. okay. it's not like i built a shrine to it, all right? it was probably in one of my albums. aw, do you look at that every night before you go to bed? -i do. (laughs) grandpa hammond's farm. yeah, the summer before you went off to boarding school. we had the whole place to ourselves. -i came out that year. yeah. and mom and dad, um, hired that tutor to help you, uh, pass all those classes that you flunked. mallory. how hot was she? -shit, i... i slept with her. yeah, i know. i did, too. mallory. -the summer that you came out of the closet. i just... i mean, i had to make sure. you know, every once in a while i gotta sleep with a woman, to just... double-check. look, they don't tell you when you get the gay card that breasts are off the table. -i mean, breasts are awesome. grandpa hammond's farm. best summer ever. don't you wish we could go back there again? you took a swing at the vice president of the united states? -oh, please, it was just a little slap. you know, i appreciate your righteous anger in defense of our son. and i will even admit to a certain amount of pleasure at the thought of it, but once again, you have set off a shitstorm of historical proportions. if you say that you planned this, i swear to god, i'll strangle you. -well... occasionally, i can still be surprised. see, if garcetti wants you to run with him, it's not 'cause i reminded him what a dickless bastard collier is. it's 'cause it's the right thing to do. so, i suppose he wants to wait till the convention before he chops collier's head off. smart, huh? -yeah. that's it? bud, in 30 years, i have never had to ask you for your opinion. i'm starting to think one of us is having a stroke. all right. -i believe you can still beat garcetti. but i no longer believe you want to beat him. i think that, uh, sub crisis, doused the fire in your belly, and you think maybe there's a core of goodness in the man, and he's just lost his way. you see, that's your lot in life, elaine, to see the goodness in flawed men. hell, it's why you married me. -well, i also divorced you. and yet here i am, in your house, surrounded by our family. and i'm still basking in the warm glow of making love to you not one month ago. don't press your luck, bud. oh, baby, as long as there's an ounce of luck left to press, -i'm gonna press it. (news announcer talking indistinctly) (sighs) shit. georgia, please. -please tell me that you didn't... you have the resignation letter? you would burn down this building if it would advance your career a half an inch, you stupid little girl! oh, please, like we are any different. i'm just younger than you, by a lot. -georgia, can you give us a minute? i need to talk to susan alone. (sighs) we're running that letter. we can't sell out a confidential source. we're not naming your source. -publishing that piece will essentially identify and burn my source without naming them. you don't have to say "them." you can say "him." douglas hammond. i have serious questions whether your relationship with several hammond family members has exceeded the bounds of proper, professional contact. you're one to talk. -the only reason you know about that letter is because you're still sleeping with... that. look, i allowed you latitude with the hammonds before so you could pursue the bigger story. now that we have it, the paper cannot afford the perception of favoritism. susan: alex knows it's you. -he knows there's a letter, and he is running it. there's nothing i can do. but you promised. i know. and i'm sorry. -this is it. okay? forget my career, it's over. my mother, no one, will ever trust me again. there is a way i can still protect you. -you're not my only state department source. if you need a name for the leak, i can give you one. and throw some innocent civil servant under the bus? as cynical as it is, it's the world we live in. if you're not getting screwed over, you're screwing over somebody else. -you don't want to do that. no. but i want to help you. if i named someone... we'd be no better than the people we despise. and i already don't sleep at night... -(sighs) (sighs) so what are you going to do? (sighs) (t.j. clears throat) clark: -afraid i can't let you do that. (sighs) i've been given instructions not to let anyone leave the premises. what is this? i'm on lockdown now? just following orders. -what's going on, fellas? nana, will you please tell agent clark that i don't need a goddamn baby-sitter? it's okay, clark. i'll handle him. yes, ma'am. -nana, what is it? i gotta run some errands. oh, yeah? what kind? like maybe tracking down your dealer to score some coke? -or finding some nameless boy to screw and do a little blow with? anne and i found your stash. we dumped it. you're one to talk. where you hiding your liquor since i've been home? -mom says the house is clean. bullshit. i don't need a drug addict like you to tell me that i'm a boozehound. now, you want to go outside and do some "errands," well, go right ahead, honey, -go on. i'm not gonna stop you. but just remember this, if you go out that door, that is your choice, and nobody else's! what's wrong? you're shaking. -you think it's easy? taking a chance you'll never come back home again? but there's no other way. i'm scared, too. oh, god... -i remember you when you were a little kid. you were always so happy. dougie was the tortured one, but you were just full of smiles and light all the time. what happened, t.j.? i-i don't know. -i stopped being me such a long time long ago, i can't even remember who that was. guess the only thing that makes me feel like myself these days is when i'm not. but you've got your whole life ahead of you. you know, with your crappy genetics and the awful choices you've made so far, you're going to have to fight for it. -but it's worth it, honey. it is. but you have to fight for it! (sniffles) (whispers): -oh. oh. (knock on door) hi. you know, i don't think sophia's quite nailed this. -i'd like you to take a look at it. i mean, it's... it's okay, but it's just... um... susan berg is running a story about your presidential aspirations. keeping up with the chatter, i guess. -just take a look at... it's not a speculative piece, mom. she knows what donors we've reached out to. she's gotten hold of jubal jacobs's research in full, and she has your resignation letter, from this morning. she can't have my resignation letter, because only two or three people in the world even know it exists. -i'm the source. (clears throat) everything that she knows, i gave it to her. i thought that another run would destroy this family. and i didn't think that you had a chance of winning. -now, just hear me out for a second. now, after jubal, i tried to stop it, mom. i-i really did, but it was too late. and i got her to stay silent for as long as i could... so all this time, you have just been pretending to support me? -at first, yes. but then we got jubal's research, and suddenly everything seemed possible. and i was, i-i was trying to unravel what i had done, mom... jesus, douglas. yeah, i screwed up. -screwed up? the access you gave this woman, this journalist, my letter-- everyone will know it came from you. i know. i don't think you do. tell me, just exactly how did you think this would end? -after you told me that you were gonna run, i gave you a dozen reasons not to. well, that would've been the time to say no to running my campaign. well, i have zero experience saying no to you. i'm 30 years old, and my worst nightmare is letting my mother down. -well, you've certainly done that with flying colors. you should go. so that's how it's gonna be, mom? i get the famous elaine barrish ice-out. huh? -i go permanently into the enemy column, mom? just another person that let you down, that didn't live up to your impossible expectations? forget everything that i've done or that my entire adult life has been dedicated to making your life better and easier! well, i'm sorry. i am sorry that i am such a disappointment. -(door opens, closes) anne: can i just vent for a second? okay, the new client that i have, the socialite-- she has this harpsichord, okay, and she wants me to design around it. what's going on, douglas? -well, um, i got into a big fight with my mom. and she yelled, and i yelled back, and it got pretty ugly, and i definitely don't have a job there anymore. but i don't give a shit, because you know what i do care about, annie? you. you are the only thing that matters to me. -marry me. haven't we been through this? now. let's elope. hey, we'll leave tonight. -all right? what are we waiting for? a roomful of people smiling that we don't know, staring at us, gawking at us, or some spread in vanity fair? it shouldn't be like that. it should be about us. -should be about you and me. are you serious? i've never been more serious about anything in my entire life. so, is that a yes, then? (chuckles) yes? -yes. yes. (laughing) (elephant trumpeting in distance) (elephant bellows) -i really thought we'd made a connection here. i felt i could trust you. but you've been using me and using my son. just like you've been using me. and you lied to me, said you weren't running. -that's not the kind of thing you tell a reporter. you say it to someone you have a connection with. and if i had told you, would you have told me that you were working covertly on a piece about my intentions to run? i don't know. but you didn't give me that chance. -no. no, i didn't. if you run that story, everyone in d.c. will know that douglas was your source. it will destroy any political career he might have. 'cause if he would do this to his own mother... -no one else will ever trust him again. i know. exactly. besides, none of it is true anymore. what? -i would like to share with you something that only two other people in the world are privy to. but i really have to know that i can trust you. not as a reporter, trust you as a human being. yeah. (sighs) -the president would not accept my resignation. he wants me to stay on at state and run with him in the next election as his vice president. and you're accepting his offer? why? i have one son who has nearly died twice in the last six months. -my other son-- there is a confusion and an anger there that i am just beginning to see. they're both adults, but they're still my children. it's not the right time to take on my boss or my party. i am their mother first. it's the best story i'll ever get. -and you just told me so i won't run the second best story i ever got. well, i did ask if i could trust you. you can. susan: it's a nonstory. -even if barrish decided not to quit, she still wrote a letter proclaiming all the reasons that she was quitting. there's no mulligan on something like this. i don't want to make my career destroying another person's-- her career-- anymore. i-i'm sick of it. i get your obsession with elaine barrish. -actually, i... i actually understand why you want to protect her and her family. but we have the letter, we-we have to run it. that's our job. we don't pick sides of the truth, we report it. -it's not the whole truth. i slept with my source. i slept with douglas hammond. i'm-i'm not entirely sure that's why he gave me the letter, but i'm pretty sure it had something to do with it. god, susan, if we had run that letter and printed that letter... -i know, alex. i know, okay? oh, you know? you know? you really know? -this paper, you know, it's already on the brink. a scandal like this, with somebody of your stature-- it would ruin this place. if you're going to fire me, please just do it already. y-you never said what you just said. i never heard it. -go back to your office. go! (door opens) (door closes) (sighs): -oh. how's t.j.? oh, t.j.'s fine. he and margaret are upstairs playing scrabble. neither of them is drinking. -well, have a soda. have you spoken to douglas? uh, no. why? madam secretary! -in here. number four is secure, number four is secure. bobcat secure, bobcat secure. what's going on? -there's been an accident. (people chattering) you can't do this to me, alex. that was supposed to be my big break! the fact that she's not resigning means it's d.o.a. -i'm spiking it. there are other people i can go to. i'll go to seavers. you want to go above my head, georgia, be my guest. -(people gasping) woman: oh, my god. (people murmuring) reporter: i repeat, air force one, the president's plane, has crashed on approach to landing in biarritz, france. -the cause of the accident is unknown, but early reports indicate a mechanical malfunction. eyewitnesses say the plane lurched and pinwheeled into the ocean. president garcetti was on board, along with white house staffers, secret service and air force one personnel. 34 people in all. -french authorities have dispatched hundreds of search boats, looking for any sign of life amidst the wreckage in the water below. six rescue planes are also flying over this crash site and have been dropping life rafts into the water... authorities continue their search for survivors of the air force one tragedy. the french government has dispatched hundreds of search boats looking for any sign of life amidst the wreckage. president harbin of france on skype. -put her through. any word from douglas? networks are saturated. got one through, left a voice mail. harbin: -madam secretary. madam president. your country has mounted a heroic rescue effort and moved so swiftly. we're deeply grateful. if my plane were down off miami beach, you would do every bit as much. -with your permission, we have a team on the tarmac here, comprised of ntsb, secret service, fbi and air force. of course. (speaking french) (speaking french) the nation of france grieves tonight, with all americans. -thank you. (speaks french) barry: madam secretary. barry. -i'm glad you're safe. most trips, one or both of us would've been on that plane. look, uh, we've been at each other's throats for quite some time, but right now, elaine, the fact that you are still in office is the only bright spot in my day. collier's asked the chief justice to administer the oath. he's not invoking section four? -i tried. white house counsel even wrote the letter. section four? of the 25th amendment. it allows for the powers of the presidency to reside temporarily with the vice president. -it's the only proper course of action because we haven't found garcetti's body. i have no standing vis-à-vis the 25th amendment, but you do. you're the senior cabinet official. alice. can i have the letter? -circulate this to the cabinet secretaries. make sure they sign it. highest priority. if they have questions, they can call me. i'm going to the oval. -reporter: officials have not entirely ruled out this being an act of terrorism, but experts tell us... alex: all right, give this to frank, but move the quote from the boeing spokeswoman up. hey, how's it going? -i got a first-person account from an air traffic controller at biarritz parme. i'm almost done. okay. i got to pop upstairs. i think seavers wants to expand the edition. -get me 600 more words if you can. okay. hey, alex. can you believe this is happening? it's so sad... and scary. -it'll be okay. you have a call on one. something's happening at the oval office. susan berg. are you sure you can't see anything at all? -elaine. i'm glad you're here, in spite of all our differences. we need to talk. chief justice. thank you so much for coming. -means the world to me to know that you'll be the one who will administer my oath. fred. you can't do this yet. they haven't found the body. nation needs to know there is someone in charge. -you are, fred. but if you take this oath and paul garcetti turns up alive, we'll have two presidents. and that presents a slight constitutional problem. i've spoken to counsel. i am fully within the bounds of the constitution. -you don't want questions lingering over your presidency, believe me. oath's a bit premature. the proper course is for me to temporarily assume power by writing a letter to congress, along with a majority of my cabinet. we took the liberty. the cabinet is unanimous. -we all signed. hmm. of course you did. elaine, i'd like you to stay on in your post for a while. i think the nation wants to see unity. -yes, sir. speaker of the house confirms receipt, and also senate pro-tem confirms. that it? that's it. you're now the acting president of the united states. -congratulations, sir. all right. thanks, everyone. barry, alert the majors. i'll be giving my address to the nation in 20 minutes. -right after that, i want the joint chiefs in here. got it? got it. yes, sir. -thank you, elaine. (phones ringing, people chattering) susan: hey. hey, hey. -it's been 45 minutes; i need to know if i'm getting extra space. where are you going? walk with me to the elevators. georgia went to seavers. -told him i killed her barrish piece. today? she didn't. she said, um, i've been having an inappropriate sexual relationship with her. that to cover it up, i've been... denying her professional opportunities. -i've been suspended indefinitely. okay, i'll find seavers. i'll tell him i was the one who compromised the barrish story due to my sexual inappropriateness. no. there's en enough awfulness for one day. -he does not need to know that. he wouldn't suspend you... susan, i told you, the paper would not survive that kind of scandal. you weren't protecting the paper, you were protecting me. (elevator bell dings) -none of this would have happened if i hadn't slept with georgia in the first place. alex... i just need to go home. okay? call me sometime. -we'll get a drink. reporter: ...their search for survivors of the air force one tragedy... yeah. yeah, i'll make a statement tomorrow, vin. -all right? now, tonight i just want you to print what all the history books will say, that we lost a great american and one of the best presidents this nation has ever seen. bye. yesterday, he was a greasy bastard, today he's a saint. that son of a bitch reppel from the times was trying to quote me back some tasteless joke he thinks i made about garcetti. -it's an absolutely haunting image. we are now hearing reports that several more bodies have been (cell phone ringing) found nearby that have not been identified. hey, sugar, what's happening there? the ogamis called. -anne phoned them from the road. from the road? apparently, douglas and anne have eloped. they've eloped? where to? -who? across the country? around the corner? i have no idea. that's why they call it eloping, bud. -yeah, well, you got enough on your plate, elaine. you just leave this with us; we'll see what we can do. i'm coming home. all right, bye. -where'd they elope to? i don't know. i think i do. forward anything that needs my signoff. and, uh, otherwise, just have bill or one of the undersecretaries. -madam secretary. it's okay. i didn't think today would end like this. oh, it's been a pretty shocking day all around. i killed the story. -thank you. how? mm... a lot of stories will be put on hold for a while. and my boss helped. -your ex? yeah. the asshole who cheated on me turned out not to be such a total asshole. no one is as horrible as we imagine them to be. two weeks ago, i wanted to crush garcetti. -today, i wanted to run with him. and tonight... sorry, i haven't had time to process any of this. i'm, uh... going home to be with my family. uh, douglas has... chosen this occasion to elope. -douglas and anne eloped? yeah. you must have developed quite a bond with him these last few weeks. yes. a professional one. -please extend my congratulations to both of them. i will. tomorrow night i'm gonna fly to france, to assist however i can. um... if you're not sick of the plane... you're welcome to join me. i'm there. -good. i'll put you on the manifest. anne... douglas... i'd like to begin with a prayer of thanks. -heavenly father, we thank you for bringing this young couple here today to remind us that even in a time of darkness, love can lift us up to the light. bless this young man, douglas, who i baptized as a baby some 30 years ago... (laughs) oh, no. i'm so sorry. t.j.: -no, we've got to get out. get the... bud: there we go. (clears throat) t.j., hey. -how the hell did everybody know we were here? "grandpa hammond's farm. the best place on earth." i thought it'd be a good idea for all of us to be together. i just didn't realize the imperial storm troopers were coming. -all right, sweetheart! hi. well, thanks for the invite, you little shit. take messages from everybody. including the acting president. -thank you. sweetheart, i know this is a huge intrusion. you think? i just couldn't let you run off and get married like this. -after everything that's happened, i... i'm so sorry. mom... you mean more to me than i can say. i don't even know if i can explain why, okay? -i just needed... clarity. i'm just so happy to see you. i'm so glad you're here. really? -yeah. do you think anne will be glad? we'll find out. elaine: anne... -are you okay with all of us being here? please be honest. people don't normally crash other people's elopements. but this is not a normal time, and this is not a normal family. all right! -let's get this show on the road. now, we got beer, champagne and five pounds of shrimp ready to go. yes, and we also brought sake. in case you want to do the shinto wedding tradition of san san kudo. mom, all this japanese stuff that you keep throwing on anne... it's racist. -oh, i thought i was being multi-culturally sensitive. well... good thing i didn't bring my kimono. mom... the reverend agrees that as ex-president i can perform the marriage ceremony. -assuming that's okay with you two lovebirds. do we have a choice? you do not. now, this reminds me of a passage from isaiah. bud: -"for you shall go out with joy, "and be led forth with peace: "the mountains and the hills shall "break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." (playing gentle tune) -how you doing, darlin'? i'm just, um putting one foot in front of the other. i made a lot of plans sitting on this wall, including running for president. i think i was about nine. maybe ten. -and right over there, is where i asked you to marry me. and i said "no." only twice. three times. wasn't twice? -nope. you said "yes" eventually. you wore me down. i loved you with my entire heart, sugar. i always did. -you were a little freer with your other organs. (laughs) it's a shame. about the deal you made to be garcetti's veep. you would have finally been on the winning ticket. -we can't let fred collier stay president. he represents the worst of the democratic party. president howdy doody. now, sure, his numbers will spike with all the goodwill following this. but he will squander it, right? -like the dumb, shit-eating turtle his. bud, the president just died. our son just got married. can you stop talking about politics for one frigging minute? this is the most profound crisis most americans will experience in their lifetime. -now, they need a strong, resilient, competent leader to get them through this. fred collier is not that man. but you are that woman. and you know it. come on, elaine, this is me. -no one else. now, you tell me you're gonna do something about this. just say it. say the words. say you're gonna run. -ok, one minute left. one minute to put up the greatest dish of your life. if it's not perfect, you've wasted your time... and mine. ok, plating up time, make it count. michael, let's see if you've done these prawns justice. -prawn linguine. what are you watching? come on! what you've done with those prawns is a disgrace. it's a disgrace to you, it's a disgrace to your family, it's a disgrace to everybody you've ever met. -this is what you've been doing? i've been slaving away and you two have been watching a cookery programme on the gourmet channel. hey. this isn't any old cookery programme. -this is kitchen maestro with robert randall. alison, let's see if your sea-bass died in vain. i didn't even know he was still cooking. yeah, he's staging a comeback. he's opening a new restaurant next month. -building up publicity by appointing an unknown amateur as his new sous chef. and this is the audition? each episode, they cook a dish - worst one gets eliminated. last man or woman left standing gets a new job in his restaurant. who's the scary lady? -oh, that's his second in command. she's been around for ever. yeah. it's not slapping me round the cheeks and putting its tongue down my throat, like alison's sea-bass. compared to that sea-bass, this dish is a cross-eyed homeless boy... -as much of a tool now as when he was famous, i see. right, i need you to sign off on our last case report - which i wrote, again. and i appreciate it. again. but you really do need to get out more. -i get out plenty. yeah! i do! one of you is going home. alison's the winner hands-down. -thank you very much. head and shoulders above the rest. michael, you're going home. can you sign the report please? ! -you've got the rest of your career and the rest of your life... have i offended you in some way? i have a social life. look, i didn't mean to upset you, i'm genuinely concerned about you. -all you do is work, work, work. yeah, well, i don't need your pity. i'm fine. as a matter of fact, i'm going to a party tonight. and i'm going to be back late. -hey, enjoy yourself! very late. vexed season 2 episode 04 subtitles by red bee media itd sync: -marocas62 hello? hey. how was the party? it was good, thanks. -yeah? couldn't have been that good, you answered after the first ring. well, it's a murder. that's what i do when there's been a murder. how did you know it was murder before you answered the phone? -busted! hey, naz. hey. victim's mid-20s, was found hanging from there. hey... -isn't this the girl who came top of the cooking contest? alison clarke? oh, yeah, poor thing. yeah. -it's the pretty ones that will really get to you. we also found this. "over-done". short and sweet eh? plus... -jesus christ, naz! what are you doing? it's only tomato sauce, so you can actually taste it. yeah? -i say tomato sauce but it's more of a homemade passata. good one, too. that is good. yeah, it's the oregano. oregano! -that's what i'm tasting. why are people so afraid of oregano? i dunno. anyway... it looks like she had a blow to the back of the head - that actually killed her, then she was placed like that after. -who called it in? her husband. he came back early from a business trip. he's next door. mr. clarke? -yeah. i'm... di dixon, this is... di armstrong. i know this is a very difficult time, we'd just like to ask you a few questions about your wife... -if that's all right. so you came home early from a business trip, is that right? she texted saying that she had done well in the competition. i just wanted to come home and hug her and tell her how proud i was. the food at the hotel was awful. -i missed ali's spaghetti a vongole. she loved to feed me. clearly. um, can you think of anyone who may have wanted to hurt alison? no. -she was an angel. my little lamb. oh, god... her lamb with candied chestnuts! i'll never eat it again! -ok, where were we? well, alison clarke had no money worries, no shady past. the only thing i could find was her cooking blog - "ready or gnocchi". oh, god, i hate blogs. -why does every man, woman and child need to broadcast their half-arsed boring opinions to the whole world? hey, remind me to tweet about this later. it's not surprising she was the front runner in the competition. judging from these blogs she was a hell of a chef. you think it's about cooking? -robert randall may be a has-been celebrity chef, but he's still a celebrity chef. and this is a hell of a prize for an amateur to win. maybe somebody just didn't want alison in the competition. hello...! look, can we just focus on the case, for one minute... -hold this, will you? ok. do your belt up. ok, there are eight people left in the competition. we need to check them out... -watch this. a little trick a friend of mine taught me. what? what! great. -i am so sorry, di armstrong, police. what's your name? beth. call me beth. ok, beth, well, look, i am so sorry. -sometimes i get so wrapped up, you know, taking the bad guys off the streets... we've been involved in a stakeout, and sometimes innocent, attractive people like yourself get caught in the middle. let me give you my number... for the insurance. yeah? -let me give you mine... screw the insurance. call me yourself. ok. i'll do that, beth. -goodbye, di armstrong. goodbye. you are unbelievable. i know. not a compliment! -don't care. hey, what you doing? i've got to go home to change, you start interviewing everybody. so i'll drive you home. i would rather not get in the car with you again today, thank you. -hold it up... up! we can't wait any longer for alison clarke. let's start the baking round. off, off, off, off. -ok, everyone, pay attention... police! there'll be no baking today. neither will there be any poaching, frying, grilling, searing or broiling - whatever the hell that is. one of your contestants - -alison clarke - died last night. oh, my god. she's really dead? i'm afraid so. well, that's not really our problem, is it? -we're on a schedule here. that's very sensitive of you. well, what she meant was, we have a tv show to make... i get it! -i was looking forward to the baking round, too. pastry is a real challenge... separates the chefs from the cooks. but a woman has died, a very attractive woman, and she leaves behind a very unhappy and obese husband, whom she enjoyed over-feeding and who will now struggle to do so well again, so it's very sad all round. ok, let's start with every one of you telling me where you were last night. this is ridiculous, you can't just waltz in here and -wave your badge around... let's start with you! where were you last night? so i'm a suspect now? just answer the question. -unless you've got something to hide? we were working on a cheese souffle recipe, all night. sue and i were in my training kitchen, attempting a six-cheese souffle. let me get this straight, sue. you were making... a sue-fley? -and before you were head chef, you were a... .. sue-s chef. yes. no, no, it's just that you were, your name is... -your name is sue... and... you know what? forget it, it's fine. we have a television show to make and it has to be transmitted later today. -yeah, but this is a police matter. and it takes precedence. so let's all try and be grown-up and professional about this. thanks. dad, what... -what are you doing here? i can't pop round and visit my own daughter? no, of course... of course you can. good. -you well? yep. yeah. you? oh, can't complain. -i'm actually just in the middle of a case. my day, even in the middle of a quadruple murder, we'd still find time for tea and biscuits. i really do have to go. well... what about... catching up tonight over dinner? ok. -yeah. how about here, seven-ish? perfect. sorry. i'll leave you to it. -ok. oh, i'll see you later. hey. what's going on? time to prepare. -competition continues this afternoon. you're joining it. i'm... wait, what? i've narrowed down the suspects but i believe they'll only open up to you if they think that you're one of them. -i was speaking to robert randall, who owes me a favour. i helped him a couple of years ago when someone was pinching his cheese. now, he says it's fine for you to enter the next round, but he's been told to treat you like any other contestant. and you need to be convincing enough so that the others don't become suspicious. can you cook? -yeah. good. but i can show you a couple of tricks that'll make you great. come on, come on. check your smokes, check your smokes, come on. -ah! green pepper. yes. that's good. orange pepper. -yes! voila! this is ridiculous. i mean, first this morning gets postponed, now we're late getting started. i heard someone died. -who are you, anyway? i'm georgina. cooking in the next round. next round? how? -you weren't in the first round. i was on the reserve list. i had to do two weeks of nights and one month double shifts to get through to this contest and you're on some bloody reserve list that i've never heard of. i bet you're delighted alison croaked. and you aren't? -and what is that supposed to mean? you asked her for a pigeon and fennel recipe and when she turned you down, you went crazy. i'd hardly say i went crazy, marcus! you screamed at her. no, i did not! -yeah. charlotte's kind of short-tempered. so... her and alison had a row? yeah. -charlotte was screaming and shoving her, saying alison thought she was better than everyone else. she told her she deserved to be brought down a peg or two. really? what's his story? stefan? -he never talks... to anyone. i mean, we want to win but he really, really, really wants to win. he's obsessed. you know... charlotte said she was angry because alison wouldn't share a recipe, but i think she was just jealous because alison's pretty. -like you. thank you. ok, who's in charge here? clive wilkinson, how can we help you? e-mail, lan, wireless connectivity, setting up a router, software. -you're in charge here? yeah. ok. well, i'm a detective. i'm here to ask questions about this guy, marcus porter. -i believe he works here. oh, yeah, he does. what's he done, then? cos... i wouldn't be surprised, he's quite a one, is marcus. -you know? keeps himself to himself. he's a real nerd. right... well, he's a suspect in a murder investigation so... -well, i'm not surprised. not surprised at all. in fact, i wouldn't be surprised if it involved cannibalism as well, simmering of body parts, living out his sordid fantasies about eating human flesh. wait a minute, jesus christ... he...he actually told you about these fantasies? -no, no, no, but... he was obsessed with food, was marcus. and weird. weird as my uncle nigel, i tell you. this man's really weird. we were on holiday, we were up this hill. -we were running down and i fall over and this sheep... ok, clive. clive. this is going to be a lot easier for all of us if you just stick to the point and to the realm of reality, ok? -ok, sorry. jesus. ok, is there anything else you know about marcus porter that might actually help? well, i guess the simplest thing to do would be check his computer, you know read his e-mail, see what websites he's been visiting. -ok, that's a good idea, let's do it. well, i mean, i can get into a lot of trouble for that, you know. privacy laws and all. what are you saying, clive? well, -i mean, why should i help you? this is so cool. what a bunch, eh? aren't you hot? i'm just thinking, cos it's quite stuffy in here and i'm sure if you took your coat off, you'd be a bit more... -more comfortable. ok, enough gossip and plaiting each other's hair! let's make some food. speed. rolling, yes? -rolling. contestants... welcome to the second round... of kitchen maestro. you are all one step closer to becoming the sous chef in my brand-new restaurant. the baking round will have to wait, cos sue and i have cooked up something really rather special. today, i want you... to replicate my signature dish. -we have made... robert's world-famous lobster veronique. his luxurious spin on a classic, served with braised fennel. ok. gather round! -all of you... remember, taste. try. savour every flavour. begin. think about the combination of flavours, how unusual, how unique. -see? chef randall... chef randall, i think there's something wrong with it. something wrong? oh, right, excuse me, sorry. -how many michelin stars do you have? none! you spit out my food? i cook for kings. i'm pretty sure. -that's what i'm saying, seriously, please try it. you pony riding child. sugar instead of salt. sugar! instead of salt. -my fault, chef, i'm sorry, it won't happen again. that's ok. accidents happen. we can cut that bit. cut that bit, yes? -still rolling. lobster veronique. cook, cook! begin. allons-y! -there's a lot of porn. what, in the office? yeah, well, you can download it to your mobile. really? yeah, i can show you how actually. -focus. sorry. what other websites? there's a cooking blog here, ready or gnocchi. oh, that's alison clarke's. -looks like he posted on the comments section under a pseudonym. posted a lot. ok, print it all out for me. like sucking on a tramp's sock. ok, last dish of the day. -and let's hope you haven't murdered the fennel like ian. what's fennel ever done to you, ian? your mother run away with a piece of fennel when you were a child? ok... good luck. -i've tasted worse. can't remember when, but i have tasted worse. ok... the best lobster veronique of today is... ..stefan. -good job. ian, you're going home. and i hope the next time you hear the word fennel, you cry yourself to sleep like a big failure baby! but... as a consolation... at least you get this. a replica of the randall utility belt. -six salts and spices for instant flavour to lift any meal. i never leave home without mine. the rest of you... i'll see you tomorrow, where you will continue the fight to be my new sous chef and for the title of... kitchen maestro. -and break. that's as long as i can hold that. it's as long as i can hold that, look! standing there like an idiot! come on, man, mind where you're going! -oh, jesus... oh, god, did you see what that freak did? ok. marcus porter was obsessed by alison clarke's blog. kept on sending her weird, freaky food-fixated messages. -if you'll take a look at this, madam... read that. "i want to be your risotto. "beat the starch out of me and slather me in parmesan," jesus. yeah. -the sick bastard. it's the food stalker, definitely. well, i'm sorry, officer. i've told you everything i know. ok, well, i'm just going to take this lobster for, er, forensic analysis. -thank you. pigs. marcus, right? i'm georgina. quite a day, huh? -i suppose so. i don't suppose you fancy grabbing a drink? what, us? the, the two of us? yeah. -why not? yeah. yeah, yeah, that'd be... that would be really great! oh, god, sorry. i'm probably going to need those, being my house keys and all! -crikey, that's really heavy. i'll give you a hand. ok. maybe it was stuck. oh, thank you. -thanks. the doctor says that it's muscular atrophy or something, yeah, but it doesn't really matter. so, where do you want to go? actually, i've just remembered, there's somewhere i'm supposed to be, so... yeah, it's... -it's fine, it's fine. marcus isn't our killer. i spoke to his gp. apparently he has diagnosed muscular atrophy. he wasn't strong enough to lift alison. -he didn't do it. damn. nine times out of ten, it's the weird stalker guy. so that leaves us with charlotte and stefan. charlotte had a grudge, something about a recipe alison wouldn't give her. -and she's got a temper. i could definitely see her flipping. what about stefan? stefan's odd. you know, intense. -and sweaty. yeah, i could imagine him doing it. but these are just my first impressions. it doesn't mean anything without evidence. ok. -let's pick it up with those two tomorrow. i've got a hot date tonight, so... i'm not going to get much sleep, if you know what i mean. i always know what you mean. you sure it's just you and your dad tonight? -cos it looks like an all-you-can-eat buffet in here. well, i thought i could use the practice. who could this be? it's beth! oh, shit! -shit. i forgot to book the restaurant. i'm such a tit! oh, god... hey! -hey, blue eyes... oh, they're brown. well, look, i'll, i'll take a better look at them tonight. er, yeah, listen, i-i... booked the wolseley restaurant in town tonight, but i-i was thinking, hey, why don't you come round to mine and i'll cook you a delicious, home-cooked meal? yeah, i cook. -oh, god, yeah. all right, well, look, i'll text you my address, ok, and shall we say... eight, eight thirty? ok, look forward to it. -yeah. bye. bye. god, she's great. so look, can i take some of this food? -i thought you promised her a delicious home-cooked meal. yeah, it is home-cooked. you're home, you cooked it. you liked it? it was amazing. -yeah, it was amazing. damn, she's good. sorry, the lamb was good. tasty. oh, god rest her delicious, lamb-y soul. -how do you even make something like that? that's a good question... well, you know what they say about chefs? they never, never reveal their secrets. that's magicians. -is it? right! i'm just, i'm just, i'm just worried that if i tell you, then it's going to ruin the... the effect. that's still magicians. -yeah? stop being shy! i want to know how you did it. well, ok, ok... well, you take your lamb... -you know, there's, there's a lot of different factors, a lot of different ingredients. there's, there the lamb... yeah. which is the chief component. the lamb is slow-cooked at 120 degrees to melt the fat. -and... and then you put... butter on there to crisp up the rosemary and the garlic, you di... you didn't, didn't really need to know that now, did you? the way you talk about food is so sexy. yeah? well, so is your face. -you know, they say food and sex go hand in hand. do they? marcus porter we can eliminate. so we're down to these two. so what do your instincts say? -well, he's very intense. but she's very aggressive. what do your instincts say? well, he kept his coat on the entire time. he must have been boiling. -well, that's a bit weird. it is weird. let me, let me get rid of this jacket, sorry. why does your coat smell of chicken? it's not...chicken. -yeah. chicken. god, that's weird. when he left, his coat looked... stefan! -stefan! what? i've had guys call me the wrong name in bed before, but stefan is a first. no. no, no, no, no, the case i'm working on at the moment. -beth, beth, please, can you stay here? don't go anywhere. i've just got to go for a bit. but i'll be back! yep, i will be. -i promise! stefan was cheating. yeah, i know. well, his coat looked smaller after the round. so, he must've been hiding stuff inside it, that's why he wouldn't take it off. -his coffee was actually chicken stock. ok, so he was smuggling pre-prepared food into the contest. wow, he really wanted to win. maybe enough to kill his main competitor. right, i'll see you at his place. -yeah, i'll see you there. oh, shit. maier? maier! maier? -maier? jesus! i don't know much about cooking, but that looks pretty burnt to me. and i think i know why. oh, no. -he was stabbed with this knife. a japanese sushi knife. yeah, well, the question is why would someone want to make sashimi out of stefan? tell me about the writing. pesto. -not bad, either. could've done with a little less parmesan, but hey, it's just a tasting. so i've just been on to the hospital that charlotte devins works at. apparently she was on a night shift, according to the duty nurse, so we've gone from having three suspects to having none. maybe it was a different killer. -i mean, we know that stefan was cheating. maybe someone else found out. so stefan kills alison and then someone kills stefan? yeah, it makes a lot less sense when you say it out loud. ok, let's pick it up from here tomorrow. -i should be having sex right now. so should i. yeah, you got a date too? oh, no. i always think i should be having sex. -oh, thanks, dad! yeah, all right, all right. hey, you're early. i know. i couldn't sleep. -i was thinking about the case and baking. all night. ok. ok. so we have croissants, chocolate chip muffins. -i had to make six batches of these just to get the consistency perfect. it's all about the flour-to-egg ratio, it has to be exact. here... try one of these. you're not actually in this competition. you do remember that, right? -oh, yeah. i'm a professional detective, why would you question that? i think you're becoming a tiny bit obsessed by this. you know we talked about you getting a life? police work and cooking is all i need. -you're going to become a spinster! you need cats to be a spinster. not necessarily. you can't be a spinster at my age. no, spinsterism is not age-specific. -hi. sorry to interrupt. beth! hey. beth, georgina, georgina, beth. -hi, georgina. hi. these look amazing. yeah, help yourself. have these got almonds in? -yes, they do. thank you for noticing. yes, thank you for noticing all my hard work. yeah, i made them especially for you. you're amazing. -isn't he amazing? he's all right. well, nice to meet you. and catch some bad guys. see you. -see you later. you see? your cooking, my looks - killer combination! you're like my culinary cyrano de bergerac. only you...you don't have the big hooter, obviously. -we need to take another look at robert randall. but he's got an alibi. randall's been sue's boss for 30 years so she has to cover for him. that's a stretch, isn't it? yesterday we had to try one of randall's signature dishes. -it had been made with sugar instead of salt. sue took the blame and randall let her off. he'd never do that unless it was his mistake and sue was covering for him. a wild hypothesis based on flimsy evidence- i'll buy that. -so, i did some digging. i ran sue's credit cards and found that she'd made a purchase cigarrettes on the other side of town from randall's test kitchen at 10pm, so there's no way she could've been with him all night. ok. let's go take a run at them. i forgot. -i popped home briefly and then i came back to the kitchen. i wasn't gone long. must've slipped my mind. really? so, chef randall, you want to tell us what you were doing that night? -cooking. we already told you. right. venison tortellini. right. -it's cheese souffle, we were making cheese souffle. yes, you told us the other day. i remembered. chef randall didn't. two people in my competition are dead. -i'm not exactly thinking clearly. were you thinking clearly when you killed alison clarke and stefan maier? why would he kill people in his own competition? it's terrible publicity. -right. we can't find a motive. but you were lying about your alibi. you tell us why you're lying and we will eliminate you as suspects. we have a competition to get back to. -yes. either arrest us or let us go. ok. fine, go. we'll talk to you again. -thank you. ok, we need to run down where they were that night and the night that stefan died. we need to see if there are any more cracks in their alibi and why they're lying. definitely. -we should get right on that in a few hours. a few hours? what's wrong with now? i think maybe at the contest i might pick up a few clues about the case. -that sort of thing. or... you might cook chef randall, our chief suspect, something that he loves because you're insanely competitive. i'll let you eat whatever i cook. done. we tasted sue's dessert earlier on and that set the standard to beat. -and remember, while i am tasting the bitterness of dark chocolate, one of you... will be tasting the bitterness... ..of defeat. he must think those up. he must think those up while he's at home, mean things to say about food. it's like you don't care. -no, i do. i want this more than anything. if that's creme anglaise, then i'm an old chinese obstetrician. embarrassing! in fact, i need something to take the taste out of my mouth. -coffee me. get me my damn espresso! it's like swimming through treacle! next up... now, i'm hoping for something, anything, just something i can eat. -presentation - first-class. do you know what, please, just tell me what you think. i actually can't take it. do you like it? you don't... -i put cinnamon in, which i know is controversial. there's too much cinnamon isn't there? i knew it, i knew it! stupid, stupid, stupid! this dish... -chef! chef! oh, my god! what the hell did you put in that? cinnamon. -cinnamon! ? 'deadly delicious! ' will you stop doing headlines? -pastries to die for! i didn't kill robert randall. no, she didn't. oh, naz, thank god! what the hell's going on? -randall's in hospital. they've flushed out his system and he's going to live. and it wasn't my fault? hey, i tasted your tarte au citron. it was a-maz-ing! -just the right hint of lemon. how did you get the base so buttery? well tony told me... hey, i never thought i'd say this, but can we talk about the case, please? -sure, jack. we've been testing all the food randall was trying. and we've got a positive result. we found a nasty bacteria, a strain of botulism. cheers, tony. -right. so, it was an accident? no. a strain that virulent has to be artificially introduced. especially when it's found in espresso. -it was in the coffee? yep. sue! sue tried to kill me? she brought the cup straight to you. -nobody else touched it. we both saw. sue? ! i can't... -we would have found out a lot sooner if you hadn't provided false alibis for each other. i can't believe that! the thing is the night that alison died, i was with another woman and i didn't want my wife finding out. so you pretended that you were with sue, even though you had no idea where she was? -we chefs tend to stick together. i thought she was stepping in to help me out. i had no idea she was covering her own tracks. we can't prove that at the moment. she's not under arrest? -the case against sue is circumstantial. technically, the bacteria could have occurred naturally. or been introduced into the cup itself earlier. we'll find something on her. i just can't believe she killed those poor people. -i mean, i barely knew them. but... but those poor, young people. i mean, stefan. intense boy. -alison... i mean, so talented and so beautiful. and her blog was something else, it really was. but she wasn't above using a bread maker. so she kept her feet on the ground, or so it seems. -hello, mr. randall. hello. er, robert, there was one thing. right before all this happened. you said, "this dish is..." -when you tasted my lemon tart. what was that last word? promising. promising? for an amateur. -right. thank you. get well. so, we'll try and trace sue's whereabouts on the nights stefan and alison died. review all the cctv footage and re-canvas all the witnesses. -sounds like a plan? yeah. hey, what's the matter? i don't know. it just seems... -what? it seems like we're missing something. you know, we still don't know how all the murders are related. there has to be something. hey, no! -never take case files home with you. why? because it's depressing and unhealthy. and sometimes, when you leave them lying around, the girl that you're seeing opens them up and you discover that she's morbidly aroused by crime scene photos and then you've got to break up with her, but only after you've done some weird shit that you'd really rather not talk about. -or... something along those lines. hey, look. relax. we know who did it. -by the end of the week, we'll have enough evidence to arrest her. here, something for you. randall's utility belt! yeah, the paramedic got it off randall in the ambulance. don't worry, he'll never know it's missing. -thanks. hey, listen. i won't tell anyone about it as long as you keep cooking for beth. you do know that is crazy, don't you? what if you get married one day? -you can't have me dropping off your sunday lunch through the back window. she's going to find out you're a chauvinist liar who has never cooked for her. maybe. in the meantime, i want as much sex with her as possible. -this is sue goretti. aye. i recognise her from the telly. why? is she the killer? -well, she's our chief suspect. leo! i can't find the socket for the... george! what are you doing here? -me? i'm just... he's helping me with a new security system. after what happened with alison, you can't be too careful. hang on, hang on! -i knew it! i knew the minute you just turned up at my flat that you wanted something! george, i'm just trying to make a living. by ambulance chasing my cases? ! -you went through my case files and you knew that the husband of a murder victim would be the perfect customer for you. you cannot go around using private confidential police information. if this got out, it could ruin my career! well, that's not going to happen. how do you know that? -jack, do me a favour, talk some sense into her, would you? actually... i'm with my partner on this one. are you serious? yeah. -afraid so, mate. oh, i see! thank you. that's ok. weren't we supposed to meet at tony's? -yeah. i thought i'd drop off some pastries for beth. she is here, right? yeah, but... she appreciates my cooking, jack. -it's the least i could do. right. did you, did you get any sleep last night? no, but i'm fine. i'm totally fine. -yeah? you're drinking coffee now. how much have you had this morning? some, but i didn't feel like sleeping and so i cooked and i drank coffee, but i'm fine. really fine. -really? this is the second night in a row that you haven't slept. and you're practically doing star jumps in my kitchen. these look ni... can you just come and stand here! -you're making me nervous. yeah. jesus! so, did you make all these by hand? of course. -no chef worth their salt would use a bread maker. bread maker? hold on. what's alison clarke's blog called again? ready or gnocchi. -why? what are you thinking? i'm thinking i may have just solved the crime. no more coffee, all right? thank you for coming everyone. -this hopefully won't take long. it's been a traumatic few days. sadly, the trauma isn't over yet. almost, but not quite. in the immortal words of jon bon jovi, -"whoa, we're halfway there." you know this whole thing has been about food. which is why, i've taken the liberty, of preparing a bowl of risotto for you all. if you'll excuse me. ok. -voila! please, enjoy. you made this yourself? i made it from some stuff i had left in my fridge. some old sausages and a jar of weird shit -i got in berlin a few years ago. that's right, help yourselves. don't be shy. you made this? but it's absolutely sensational! -oh, come on! no, really. it is. hey, you think that's good? you should try my toad in the hole. -maybe it's so good, because i used some of chef randall's speciality salt in it. in fact, i used quite a lot. i think you'll find it's not commercially available yet. i know. that's why i used the salt from your utility belt. -my salt? my personal salt? that's right. from my utility belt? yep. -what's wrong, chef randall? i thought you liked it. i need to go to hospital. could somebody call me an ambulance, please? why? -that salt has a bacteria in it. it's a strain of botulism. we need to go and get treatment immediately, otherwise we're all going to die. chef randall. how do you know that it's got bacteria in it? -because i put it in there, ok! oh, god! i need to go to hospital! i need to... chef randall, it's ok! -it's ok, i lied! i didn't put your salt in the risotto. it's ok! i feel all hot and sweaty. i can't breathe. -i know, i know. it's amazing the tricks your mind plays on you. i mean, take me for instance. i used to think coldplay were good. i mean, how is that possible? -it was all to divert suspicion from the first murder - alison. that's why you infected yourself. that's why you murdered stefan. he was doing well in the contest. -you needed to make sure it looked like that was the killer's motive. i feel a wee bit better now. how did you know it was me? because when you talked about alison, you talked about her bread maker. she never mentioned it on her blog. -and no chef worth their salt would ever admit to using one. you knew she had one, because you'd been in her kitchen. then it was just a matter of making a killer risotto and forcing a confession. you didn't go there intending to kill alison. the blow to the back of the head suggests it was spur of the moment. -so what happened, randall? i went to her house, to tell her how fantastic her meal had been. that she was a certainty to win the competition. and then, just as one chef to another, i asked her for her recipe. -and she refused. in fact, she laughed in my face. she said i was a has-been. that she'd only entered the competition to write about it on her blog. that my recipes were from the 1980s, that she had no intention of working for me, that i was a joke. -she laughed at me! and you don't take no for an answer, do you? so you hit her. you hit her hard. and when you realised that she was dead, you panicked, didn't you? -you wrote a message on the wall in tomato sauce so it looked like the crime was about the contest. as for stefan, who knows why you chose him. maybe because he was weird. i'd have chosen him too. it was easy enough to frame sue. -all you had to do was slip a bit of salt into your espresso before you drink it. chef randall... your goose... is cooked and served. nice! what's wrong? -i think i'm just having a massive coffee comedown. well, do you mind doing it later? because, i've got a home-made breakfast and a woman waiting for me. oh, shit. oh shit, shit, shit! -what, what, what? the croissants i made this morning! i used the salt from randall's utility belt! the one you gave me. oh, my god, beth! -come on, let's go! come on, pick up, pick up, pick up! shit! maybe she's not up yet. or maybe she's writhing around in agony from your poison pastry! -what! ? oh, you are joking! screw this! what are you doing? -well, i'm not getting a 99, am i! ? beth! beth? beth? -oh, my god, beth. no, no, please! oh, my god. oh, my god. what are you doing? -! why didn't you answer me? i was doing my relaxation exercises. ok, did you eat any of the croissants? what? -oh, yeah. delicious. as always. right, come on. we've got to go. -what? we've got to go to the hospital. come on, i'll explain! did you eat anything? yes, she ate a croissant. -can someone tell me what the hell is going on? the croissant you ate was poisoned. what? ! i made the croissant, -i made all the food jack says he's cooked for you. he passed it off as his own, but it was mine. the salt i used happens to contain a nasty strain of bacteria, which i must point out i had no idea about... ok, so you didn't cook anything? i'll explain later. -can we first just save your life, please? wait, wait, wait. i didn't eat the croissant. -you what? i threw it away. you threw it away? and then i put the crumbs on the plate to make it look like i'd eaten it. i don't understand. -ok... truth is, i don't really like your food, jack. or rather your food. sorry. i just said i liked it so you would want to sleep with me. -but beth, with an arse like yours, i'd have slept with you anyway. come here! don't be silly. hang on, hang on, hang on. -so... so you didn't like my food? that's just personal taste. it's not you, it's me. that's fine. it's fine. -i just... i think i thought we made a connection, you know. it seems i was wrong. oh, god. please don't cry. -i'm sorry! i haven't slept in a really long time and i'm having a very serious coffee come down. i think this is goodbye. ok? i'd better just go and... -georgina? georgina! coming! hey. hurry up, will you? -i'm parked on a double yellow. wow, you look different. thanks, i was going for different. you were right, i need to get a life outside work. -by the way, could you possibly rustle up one of those lasagnes for me? no, i'm done cooking for you so that you can get your end away. out! -i'll get a takeout! keys! sorry? i think i feel like driving today. i'm not comfortable with other people driving the golden lady. -i promise i'll treat her exactly as you would. ok, but listen. none of that fancy police driving, ok? why am i letting you do this? so, you and beth. -how's that all going? it's over. three shags and then out. what? after all that? -yep. i mean, she was pretty and she was kind of fun, but at the end of the day she lied to me. she lied about enjoying my food and i cannot be with a woman who lies. it wasn't even your food. it was my food. -ok, so you're going to break up with her for being a liar, even though you're a bigger liar? yeah, basically. what? nothing. you're just funny. -thanks. i think? what the hell are you doing? what did you do that for? ! -oh, right. ok, i get it. so that's why you wanted to drive my car. how do i look? yeah, do-able. -good enough. you're paying for that by the way! yeah, we're just here to investigate the brutal murder of their headmaster. this is a very prestigious school, detective. headmaster rejects a child, mum gets angry... -are you spying on us? i'm knitting an egg cosy for my mother. you got a problem with that? your mum and i are getting divorced. marriage is really over-rated. -i mean, why get married when you can just find a woman you hate and buy her a house? she is a suspect in an on-going murder investigation! it's just dinner. miss, are you going to give him a detention? that's not a bad idea. -someone's trying to poison you. oh, my god, jack! jack! subtitles by red bee media itd sync: marocas62 -shit. what did you do? what did i do? you ruined my shoe. and you just put a footprint on the mona lisa. -did you see the swirl on that masterpiece, the form, the texture, the taper of the pinch point? why do i bother? you don't know shit. i'm the one who should be mad. i have a lot of work to do, and taking time away from my desk for these little walks isn't helping. -oh, you call this a walk? you haven't even asked me about my day or how much i'm missing jenna or what i'm gonna do with my life now i've finay pulled the squeaker out of that sheepskin chew toy. i'm checking interest rates. it's been a while since i've had money to invest, and i want to be smart about it. yeah, while you're planning for the future, you're completely missing out on the present. -that's why you've been stepping in shit your whole life. things are different now. i have a job, a girlfriend. and yet you still spend all your time worrying about what you don't have. -look, it's easy not to worry when you don't have any real problems. dogs don't have to think about money or crime or social injustice. we don't think about those things because our noses keep us in the present. we stop and smell the roses, every goddamn one of them. open your nostrils and smell around you, ryan. -dirty diapers, sour milk puddles, used tranny ass-condoms. dude, we are so lucky we live in i.a. we really do have it all. have i still got ants in my teeth? who are you talking to? -you know me, warner, i'm always interested in any investment opportunity you bring my way. yeah, okay, sounds good. all right, i'll see you then. hey, ryan. -hey, wilfred. hey, kevin. sounded like something pretty big went down in there. sorry about that. i went to a new colombian restaurant last night. -ooh, colombian. i meant on the phone. oh, right, duh. my investment guy is working on a huge real estate deal. i'm about to get pizzaid. -ugh, it's my kid. i'll see him in the morning. whoo, this smells like shit in here! hey, you got some money laying around? i could hook you up with my guy. -really, you'd do that for me? i got you this job, didn't i? i'll hook you up with an interview. you don't have to do that for me. if you vouch for him, i'm sure he's fine. -no, no, no, you don't interview warner. warner interviews you. he's very picky about the people he does business with, but trust me, if you get in with him you're gonna be living large. give me five. oh, ten coming back. -i think i just doubled your investment. what, what, what? so what was that all about? you thinking about investing our money? i thought we were talking about getting me my own place. -first of all, it's not our money, and if, by "your place," you mean the doghouse in the hammacher schlemmer catalog, that's $9,000. it's real estate, ryan. all that matters is location, location, location. i'm thinking jenna's backyard. i mean, the schools are kind of shitty, but i'm not planning on having kids anytime soon. -it's like when i'm stalking a squirrel, all right? i'm totally in the moment. i'm not thinking about how this squirrel is named craig and how he's a pretty good guy and he just came out to his family and how happy he is with nuts in his mouth. honestly, i didn't even mean it like that. nice. -kevin's investment guy wants to meet for lunch. you're doing it again, ryan. you're not living in the now. so what? why do you suddenly care so much? -i'm just trying to get you to savor what little time you have left. what are you talking about? look, this isn't how i wanted you to find out. find out what? this isn't an easy thing to tell you. -ryan, you're dying. it's true. not long after we met, you were asleep and i was carefully placing my hair in the water glass on your bedside table like i always do. well, i smelled something. it's a tumor. -in-in your brain. dogs can't smell tu... we can. you're lying. ryan, do you know what the symptoms of a brain tumor are? -anxiety, blackouts. hallucinations. any of that sound familiar? but if that's true... that means that everything... jesus, wilfred. -what are you doing? i can't bear to see you suffer, mate. i promised myself i'd do the same thing you'd do for me. what any friend would do. i'm... -i'm putting you down. no, this is one of your little head games. that-that gun's not... shit! no, no. no, no, don't... don't do this. -i'm begging you. see you on the rainbow bridge, ryan. oh, please, please, god, no! gotcha. "gotcha"? -"gotcha"? can't risk the window thing leading back to me. already got a couple of priors. what the hell is going on? ryan, did you feel that? -exhilarating! that's living in the moment! wouldn't you like to feel that way all the time? you're an asshole. give me your wallet, bitch. -oh. oh, i get it. this is... this is part of your little lesson, too? hey, who's he talking to? ryan, i swear, i don't know them. -shut this dog up or i will. come on. this is all your fault. how come, every time i follow you somewhere, i lose my wallet? -stop yelling at me! i just had a gun jammed in my face, you insensitive prick! have you any idea how terrifying that is? oh, i am so done with you. ryan, ryan, something's wrong. -i can't... i can't smell anything. maybe i'm just... maybe i just need something stronger. nothing. -can you smell them? jesus, what the hell? nothing. no infection. no obstruction. -so he's faking it. you mean, is it mental? well, dogs can lose their sense of smell from stress. has, uh, wilfred been in any stressful situation recently? oh, you mean like getting nostril-raped by a glock 17? -not that i can think of. listen, keep a close eye on him. dogs really rely on their sense of smell. without it, he can get confused or maybe even lost. i can't believe this is happening. -i mean, i've heard of trauma causing blindness, like when stevie wonder and ray charles walked in on each other masturbating. well, it serves you right for that stunt you pulled. ryan, you don't understand. now that i can't smell, it's like my brain has nothing to do. it's like time has slowed to a crawl and my head is full of these... things. -they're-they're like voices, constantly questioning and analyzing. those are thoughts, wilfred. thoughts? you know what you need? an activity to keep your mind busy. -read a book or something. a book? yeah, right. maybe if it had pictures. that moved. -and sound. and matt damon in it. and in the middle of the movie, matt damon would be like... now, there's a book i'd like to read. o... kay. -where were we? i was just saying, uh, how ryan here is the top dog of our legal department. well, it's-it's easy to be top dog when you're the only one in the department. wait, that's not the same ups guy that comes to my house. wait, so... so there's more than one ups guy. -of course! it's all so clear to me now. the uniform changes guys. o... kay. where were we? -i was just saying that i'm not only the top dog, but i'm also the bottom dog. don't be modest. it's a weak trait. oh, i just meant i'm the... only one in the department. -so, when jenna leaves the house and i can't see her anymore, she doesn't cease to exist. she's just somewhere else? no, no, no, no, that's just crazy. o... kay. well, it was nice meeting you, kevin's friend. -uh, uh, warner, um... don't know if you know this or not, but ryan here is hank newman's son. oh, is that so? that's true, but i don't want to ride on my father's coattails. don't apologize for nepotism. -so, hank's son, here's the deal... a half a million square feet of luxury commercial space downtown. right now, it's just abandoned buildings and unused land. but when it's done, it will be the place to buy $16... sixteen... -uh-uh, shh. lattes. so, look over this prospectus. i'll let you know if i'm interested. ryan, i'm starving. -this thinking is a lot of work. can we please stop somewhere on the way home? there's seriously... there's nothing to eat around here. guess what. -warner just called. he wants to meet me at the development site. kevin says, if this goes well, i should... did you just read that whole book? i read all of these books. -what's wrong? what's wrong? where should i start? uh, why is there so much injustice in the world? why do some have so much while so many have so little? -why are children in compton getting fatter and fatter whilst children in beverly hills are starving themselves to death? why, ryan? why? uh... jesus, put down the bong and pick up a book. -"critique of pure reason" by immanuel kant. ever heard of this kant? i love kant. oh, existential german philosophy is funny to you. wipe that smirk off your face and listen to this kant. -"it is not the consequences of the action "which make it right or wrong, but the motivation of the individual performing the act." what do you suppose that means? i don't know. uh, you should never knowingly do bad to others. -yes. and would that be an ethos with which you find not incompatible with your own beliefs? i'm-i'm not sure what you're asking. because the most enlightening thing i read today was this prospectus. -that new mall you're so determined to invest in? it will mean the destruction of an important public works program. what's the big deal? this place is a dump. this park keeps inner-city dogs off the streets. -they rely on this park for the programs and services it offers, like free water from the owbp. the what? the open water bowl project. most of these dogs come from broken homes with broken fences. -if you're party to the destruction of this park, then you're no better than them. we'll talk about this later. open your eyes, ryan! together, we can make a difference. sorry i'm late. -hey, ryan. don't ever apologize for being late. it makes you sound poor, all right? it's my kid. doesn't he have any friends? -hear our bark! save this park! hear our bark! save this park! excuse me for one second. -hear our bark! save this park! hear our bark! save this park! oh, hi, ryan. -how did you get the car doors unlocked? i read the manual. excuse me, sir. do you have 30 seconds to help save the world? have a nice day. -hope your children enjoy the wasteland you're leaving them. wilfred, get back in the car before you blow this deal for me. look, i'm sorry, but i can't ignore what's right in front of me. hear our bark! save this park! -hear our bark! save this park! everything okay, ryan? here they are, the one-percent here to profit off the k-99%! let's get 'em, boys! -sorry, my dog got out of the car. you hear that? i will not be contained, corporate pigs! all right, brass tacks. minimum buy-in's $10,000. -wait. so, does that mean...?

this is definitely the place. brenda: sure? -natalie: yeah, i remember that guy. what do you remember about him? he carded me at the door. he said he couldn't believe i was over 21. -anything else? i don't think so. you're doing great, natalie. just take it all in. tell us what else you remember, okay? -it's okay. chief johnson, you come here often? that's him. that's him. brenda: -what? that's him. that's him. that's him! hey. -hey. gabriel: get up. that's him. it's him. -that's him. that's him. that... it's all right. it's all right. -he's under arrest now you're okay. you're safe. you're safe. you're with us. -so assuming the dna evidence confirms... .that you just found george harris' mystery partner... i might be willing to make a deal in exchange for my client's cooperation. great. wonderful. drugging women to have sex with them... -i don't understand it. it's just so unsporting. not to let them even have a fighting chance, should you talk to baldwin or should i? i can't make deals with murderers. you just love calling it murder, don't you? -all right. i'll attend to the gory details... and, uh, lighten up. you got your man, as always. right? charlie knew how to talk to women. -yeah. working in a bar, he met all kinds of girls. and he said that if i just did what he said, he'd hook me up too. so i got the room and he got the babe. by the time i showed up in my cab, he had them all loosened up. -after that, it was just easy. just like he said it would be. except for that last girl. gwyneth. gwyneth. -after we, urn... after i... she started making these noises. you know, like choking. and i shook her just a little, just to wake her. -and she just stopped breathing. and charlie showed up and he was pissed. he put too much of that stuff in her drink. he didn't wanna kill her. he just-the other girl from the time before... she, urn, woke up too soon. -now, write it all down and hope it checks out. chief johnson. no apology? well, then i guess this is goodbye. finally. -count on it. don't soft-pedal this. i want it said to her just the way chief pope told me it would be done. uh, don't soft-pedal what? i'm not ungrateful for the results we achieved... but you behaved toward me with what i consider to be a condescending... dismissive and secretive attitude. -and whether you're aware of it or not, you harmed the prosecution of my case. your case? that's right, my case. captain. maybe we should go into your office. -no, no, here's fine. chief pope believes that- chief pope believes? oh, sorry, go on. chief pope believes... that you should start bringing prosecutors on earlier in your cases. -he and the district attorney agree that provoking a mistrial... i didn't provoke a mistrial. i answered the questions as truthfully as i could... i in keeping with the oath i took. i know. -i understand. the chief of police would like the district attorney's office... to have a more open access to major crimes. okay, we'll talk. anything else? you're no longer to investigate phillip stroh... monitor his movements, or in any way, shape or form... interfere with the conduct of his activities, either personal or legal... without prior approval of chief pope. -good. thank you, sharon. chief. i'm sorry about this. i'm speaking to you now... not only as a representative of the professional standards bureau... but also as a colleague and a friend. -if i were you, i would take these orders very seriously. trust me. i am. sync corrected by shadowmoon do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god? -i do. would you please state and spell your name and give your occupation? brenda leigh johnson. b-r-e-n-d-a. l-e-i-g-h. -j-o-h-n-s-o-n. deputy chief i.a.p.d., major crimes division. the closer 7x16 hostile witness original air date on july 9, 2012 ms. baldwin. direct? -thank you, your honor. good morning, chief johnson. == sync, corrected by elderman == you may think you're walking away from this a free man, but i assure you, you are in more trouble than you could possibly imagine. i hope that's not a threat. -i know the women you raped and the woman you murdered. i don't know what you're talking about. what is it you hope to accomplish? to see you on trial for murder, mr. stroh. chief johnson? -yes. good morning. chief johnson, on the morning of february 15th of this year, while major crimes was covering for hollywood homicide, were you called to room 116 of the crystal motel on sunset boulevard? i was. and can you tell the court what you discovered in the room registered to the defendant, george harris? -i found the dead body of gwennyth adler. people's exhibit 34-b. that's a nasty bruise above her eye. not nasty enough to kill her. how'd she die? -not sure, but it didn't happen very long ago -- maybe five, six hours? chief, the housekeeper started her shift at 6:00 a.m., noticed the front door of the room slightly open. when she went to close it, she saw the body and called 911. i don't see any luggage. doesn't look like she was planning a long stay. -well, crystal motel clientele typically don't need a room more than an hour. yeah, but her blouse is ripped. her jeans are torn. i mean, wouldn't a prostitute take better care of her clothes? well, if she was a hooker, she wasn't a pro. -there's a wallet, driver's license, credit card, some cash, and a work i.d. -- gwennyth adler. she was a nurse at st. leo's children's hospital. she's got a receipt here from stella's nightclub over in culver city -- 10:32 p.m. last night. one drink on her tab. -that's kind of sad. yesterday was valentine's, and she went out alone? looking for mr. goodbar. maybe she found him. i did, too, chief. -his name's george harris. the manager said he signed in last night around 10:00 p.m. requesting two room keys. two keys? two. -using his driver's license and a $100 cash deposit, which he hasn't come back to claim. and we have his driver's license right here. yeah, but he got the room at 10:00 p.m. gwennyth was still at the club after that. so harris books the room, planning -- or hoping, maybe -- to bring someone back here. -lieutenant, did the manager remember seeing gwennyth and mr. harris together? no. but i ran harris up. 12 months ago, he was arrested for rape. the d.a. dropped the charges, never went to trial. -oh, and the manager said harris was driving a cab. oh, convenient -- book a room and then troll the neighborhood looking for drunk girls coming out of bars. but he asked for two room keys. why two? it was his partner who raped those women. -maybe he had a partner. ah, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. detective sanchez, i want a want out on mr. harris. i want to talk to him. lieutenant, find out everything you can about his previous arrest. -detective gabriel, please speak to the employees on duty at stella's last night. see if anyone remembers gwennyth or saw her with mr. harris. maybe he's the type of cabbie that liked to drink and drive. kendall -- you want a rape kit. i do. -i also want to know how she died. that's a good question. 26-year-old female in otherwise perfect health. no severe trauma. it screams overdose, but i won't be able to tell you for certain until i look at the tox screen. -what about these bruises on her arms and her head? don't look like signs of assault. more like, i don't know, she was...handled, maybe? like she passed out and someone could have helped her up? more like dragged her into position. -her shoes looked fine. well, they could have been pulled off of her, along with her clothes, because i also found semen on her neck and stomach. so, i'm guessing she was drugged and raped. objection! ms. baldwin has not presented any evidence of rape. -my client admitted to consensual sex, and at the time, the coroner found no proof of drugs. the pathologist's report has already been entered into evidence without objection, and dr. morales found rohypnol in ms. adler's blood. he could not, however, testify as to how the drug was administered, and neither can anyone else. rohypnol is called "the date rape drug" for a reason. objection. -your honor, please. sustained. sidebar, up here. this is the sixth time i've had to object to the manner in which claire strays from the boundaries you laid out. your honor, i'm trying to establish that miss adler was unable to give consent in her drugged state, which is the precondition for rape. -and i am warning you, claire, stick to the evidence. what is the name of your partner? it's my lawyer. it's mr. stroh. i promise you my objections will end up much worse than his. -i will hunt relentlessly to tie you to these crimes until the day you die. chief johnson, i'm rephrasing the question. based on your years of experience, the evidence collected at the motel, and the preliminary autopsy report, what kind of investigation were you conducting? the circumstances led me to believe that gwennyth adler had been murdered. and why were you so interested in talking to the defendant? -he seemed to be the last person to have seen her alive. also, he'd run off and left his driver's license behind. i didn't want him driving around without it. yes, lieutenant provenza. any progress? -well, no luck finding harris. sanchez parked two uniforms outside his house, but he hasn't shown up. well, he can't disappear forever. well, he may want to. you remember harris' -hello. previous arrest for rape? well, exact same scenario. woman woke up in a motel room and realized that she'd been sexually assaulted. rape kit came back with a dna match to harris and a second unidentified assailant. -that's why he asked for two keys to the motel room. he had a partner. yeah, now, the previous victim -- her name's natalie gilbert, claimed that she "came to" during the second assault. identified harris, said she might be able to do the same for his partner in a line-up. so why was he let go? -okay, chief. just got off the phone with the d.a.'s office. before they could get to court, ms. gilbert disappeared. they couldn't prosecute the rape case without the victim. so all charges against harris were dropped, along with the search for his partner. -oh, and get this, chief. guess who represented harris in his first rape case? who? hold on to your hat. phillip stroh. -phillip stroh. what? ! why'd you tell her that? ! -what? she's going to find that out! don't tell her things like that on the phone! chief? chief? -phillip stroh defended harris? now, chief, there is absolutely no proof that stroh is the second rapist. you know that he was always very careful not to leave any dna behind. plus the fact he specializes in representing sex-crime defendants. yes, i know. -i remember. he said it gave purpose to his life. it gives purpose to my life. if he defended harris in his first case, the he probably knows where he is now. and i know how to find stroh. -huh? damn it, chief. how long you been tracking stroh's car with a gps marker? since the day after the johnson rule went into effect. don't worry. -i have a warrant. and look -- there's stroh's car and the suspect's taxi. they're here, together. pope know about this? hmm? -i'll take that as a "no." george harris, i'd like you to meet deputy chief johnson of the i.a.p.d. don't run, george. hey, get over here! -get up! get up! sorry. he's not the brightest guy on earth. mr. stroh. -consorting with rape suspects, as usual? your suspects are my clients. and sex isn't always rape. murder ups the stakes a little. and dna can be very helpful in court. -if you have a sample, yes. here, let me help you with that. chief johnson. yes, captain. i'm sorry. -i understand you apprehended your suspect when he was with phillip stroh? yes, and now mr. harris, the raping taxi driver, won't even talk to us. phillip stroh was part of the federal lawsuit against you. i am still unable to prove who the leak is in your division. tread lightly. -the federal lawsuit is settled. goldman is ancient history. who's the leak gonna have left to inform, you? wouldn't that be great? chief? -uh, chief, this is tommy, the doorman at stella's, where our victim went out last night. and this is charlie. he tended bar. gentlemen. they both identified mr. harris as the taxicab driver who picked up gwennyth adler from the club last night. -y'all are certain? yeah, i had to help him get the girl inside the cab. how was she? mmm. for sure, she was too drunk to drive, but i've seen worse. -and who called for her ride? probably no one. i mean, it's pretty common for cabs to line up outside the bar. did either of you see mr. harris and gwennyth inside the bar together last night? the girl went in, but i don't remember the cab driver going inside. -i-it was a busy night. ladies got in free. it was valentine's day and all. okay. how about any of these men here? -anyone's face ring a bell? uh, this guy i know. he was inside the bar last night? no. no. -uh, early this afternoon. that's how we found out about gwennyth. yeah, he -- he left right before your guys came in looking for us. what in the hell is phillip stroh doing in a six-pack? he's a suspect in a rape and murder. -no, he's representing the suspect. yeah, well. that, too. it is his m.o., chief. do you hear yourself, chief johnson? -stroh likes blondes. and he works in tandem with a weaker partner, who helps plan the rapes. he also acts as their attorney after they're caught and then runs around afterward introducing himself to possible witnesses as the lawyer. we just settled a federal lawsuit, in which stroh accused you of harassment! oh, yes. -i remember the creation of the johnson rule very well. i don't know what kind of beef you have with phillip stroh, and i don't care. you have no evidence that he was george harris' partner. in fact, your little gps marker proves that his car was at home during the attack. because he was in the cab. -they're partners. if you intend to mention stroh as a suspect, i will not proceed to arraignment. the case is spotty as it is. harris asked for two keys to that motel room! -all right. excuse me. claire, what charges is the state prepared to file against this taxi driver right now? if the dna confirms it, i can make a case for rape based on the fact that gwennyth adler might have been drugged and was unable to give her consent. but unless i can prove harris or a partner administered that drug and that it killed her, there's no murder here. -but you can charge him with homicide and then use that to make him give up stroh. let me be clear with you on this. i don't file murder charges as some kind of bargaining chip. maybe other prosecutors you work with do that. but i stick with the evidence, because that's what gets admitted into court. -harris has lawyered up. he was never inside stella's. he won't admit to anything now. so how you can call him a murderer, i don't know. he left his driver's license as a deposit on a motel room where we found a dead rape victim. -prove he left her there knowing she was dead, prove she was unable to give her consent -- because that's what i have to do. anything else, chief johnson? harris' last victim reported waking up during her rape. she may be able to identify her attacker. terrific. -where is she, the last victim? you have no idea. so nothing that happened to her can be introduced at trial. correct me if i'm wrong, claire, but this case won't see the inside of a courtroom for, what, maybe a year? surely chief johnson can find harris' previous victim before you get to court on this new one. -i guarantee it. and if gwennyth adler was drugged, even if harris didn't drug her himself, he was part of the plan, and that's felony murder. i only go to court with cases i can win. if it turns out she was overdosed and the dna hit comes back to harris, it improves my odds, but i will need you to find me the first victim if this is what you really want to do. i said i'd do it, and i will. -and in the meantime, unless there is convincing evidence to the contrary, you will treat stroh as a defense attorney and not as a suspect. is that clear? oh, yes, sir. you're always clear. so? -what's her name, the first victim? marilyn monroe. marilyn monroe? are you sure? not according to my records. -that's the name she gave the long beach p.d. when they picked her up and put her on a 72-hour mental-health hold. oh, no. she's mentally impaired? well, diagnosed manic-depressive. -but the officers did find an expired i.a. driver's license on her person. it matches the name of harris' first victim - natalie gilbert. so, it could be her. they've got her back on her meds. -that explains why they dropped the charges in her first case. d.a.s like my friend baldwin here won't prosecute rapists if their victims won't hold up on the stand. win, win, win -- that's all she cares about. so competitive. you got to give stroh credit for rushing you to trial. -you want me to see if marilyn monroe's lucid? yes, yes -- please find out if natalie or marilyn or whatever she's calling herself can make a presentable witness. and then give me a signal when you come back? all right. thanks. -what are you doing? it's time. i found harris' previous victim, like i told you i would. so timely, too. where is she? -i-i don't know. but you need to ask for a continuance. sorry, i'll need something approaching actual evidence to get his honor to grant us more time. i hope you're ready for your cross. it's going to be a tough one. -all rise! okay, we're back. chief johnson, you are still under oath. mr. stroh, your witness. thank you, your honor. -chief johnson, the dna sample you offered as evidence suggests that mr. harris and ms. adler had sexual relations. is that true? it does more than that. it suggests that your client raped her. your honor, could the court ask that chief johnson refrain from editorial commentary? -it's not an opinion. george harris had sex with gwennyth adler when she was unconscious and unable to give consent. she was drugged. i'm sorry. did i miss something? -were your pathologists able to pinpoint exactly when that drug was taken? your honor? chief johnson, i believe the question before you is, "did the pathologists determine when the drug was taken?" no. -so it's possible ms. adler took the drug after having sexual relations with mr. harris? no. why not? ms. adler was a nurse. she had access to all sorts of medications. -isn't it just an assumption on your part that she was drugged? no. why not? the doorman and the bartender remember putting her in a cab. she was already -- she was conscious, was she not? -yes, but -- and she was...at a club. it was valentine's day. isn't it possible that somebody bought her a few drinks? maybe. yes or no? -is it possible that somebody else -- yes! yes. your honor, permission to approach the witness. go ahead. -this is the autopsy report for gwennyth adler. can you read what it says here under "cause of death"? overdose. overdose. and how about here, under "manner of death"? -this is an incomplete report. can you read what it says, please, under manner of death? "undetermined." undetermined. not murder. -undetermined. and at the time of his arrest, you suspected that mr. harris had a partner. was this because when he checked into his hotel he asked for two keys? in part, yes. i have two keys to my car. -two keys to my house. tell me, chief johnson, does that make me a rapist? objection. sustained. withdrawn. -the autopsy report for gwennyth adler says that she died of an overdose, not sexual relations with mr. harris. so doesn't this murder charge against my client hinge entirely on this imaginary partner you've created for him? no. so you've identified a second suspect in the case? chief johnson? -your honor? chief johnson, have you identified a second suspect? yes. and who would that be? objection. -overruled. the witness will answer. do you have a second suspect? you! my second suspect is you! -and for the record, i mean phillip stroh. that's it! bailiff, clear the court! all right. mr. stroh, over here. -ms. baldwin, get up here. you just guaranteed us a mistrial. you're welcome. chief johnson, is mr. stroh really a suspect in your investigation? yes, sir. -he is. your honor, this is a desperate move by the prosecution, unsubstantiated by the rules of evidence, to reset these proceedings. they have no physical evidence of murder -- other than the body, you mean. and the issue of ms. adler's lack of consent to sexual relations is pure conjecture. -not true. we have toxicology reports that she overdosed on a drug that, as a nurse, she would have known would have killed her. given to her by an imaginary second suspect. now, chief johnson pointed the finger at me, but it could just as well have been anybody in her immediate vicinity. ms. baldwin, did i miss some mention of mr. stroh in discovery? -murder suspects aren't always told that they're under investigation. i'm declaring a mistrial. and we will reconvene in a month. ms. baldwin, that gives you four weeks to get your act together. i understand. -yes, sir. your honor, in light of d.d.a. baldwin's failure to provide my client with a speedy trial, i ask that he be allowed to present bail. what does defense request? $75,000. -ms. baldwin, what does the state say to $75,000? your honor, the state would be satisfied with a bail set at $25,000. ms. baldwin, you confuse me. but whatever. $25,000 it is, and i will see you in a month. -uh, excuse me, your honor? uh, i have another witness, but she's on a 72-hour mental-health hold. i need a removal order. and there's no one else in the building you could ask? well, you're here, your honor, and your schedule just freed up. -yes, it did. lieutenant? ah, harris' mom paid for his bail, just like you'd hoped she would. he left men's central about an hour ago. he got about 10 feet from the front door before we re-arrested him for raping natalie gilbert last year. -he's set up in interview 1, but he's already invoked, chief. chief, we got natalie gilbert in your conference room. okay. how is she? well, she knows her real name. -at least that's a start. okay, i'll go talk to her first. no. excuse me? natalie gilbert is a victim. -no, she's not. she's a witness. we are not trying george harris for her rape. we could add to the charges. are you telling me -- -she's a manic depressive. wait a minute! no, you wait a minute! i intend to win this case, and let me be clear about this. it is my case. -you wanted the suspect free. he's here. i can't talk to him. you can. but this witness -- she's mine. -chief johnson, with mr. harris under arrest, mr. stroh will be here shortly. you won't have much time to speak with the suspect. excuse me. okay, look. -you can't interview natalie by yourself. you need a witness for when you go back to court. i'll take detective gabriel and lieutenant tao. they're terrific on the stand. oh, uh, thank you. -i, uh -- i learned from the best. you heard the captain. stroh's on his way here. that young lady indicates that she can identify him... you got it. -thank you. you let me out of jail just to arrest me? well, then you need to give my mom back her $2,500 bond, because... this is harassment. you can't do this. mr. harris, we're not here to question you, just to make you aware of new charges brought against you. -you might recognize this woman, natalie gilbert. of course, she looks a little different than the first time you met her. this photo was taken after you raped her. last year, you and your partner drugged natalie, took her to a motel room, and had your way with her. that case was dropped. -don't speak unless you're revoking your right to counsel, sir. that case was dropped because natalie went missing. but she's back. we found her. in fact, she's here right now, with d.d.a. baldwin. -want to know what she's saying? i don't want to talk about it. i don't even want to think about it. i spend a lot of time trying not to think about it. i understand, natalie. -i would feel the same way. but the man who did this terrible thing to you has done it to someone else. and this time, he killed her. so, i'm lucky i only lost my mind. is that what you mean? -things got out of hand. these things happen. a pretty girl drops in your cab... feeling no pain. up for anything. you only wanted a little fun. -we get it. maybe you thought she agreed to everything in advance, because we know you're not the one who drugged her. and that's the real crime here... because the next time your partner found you a girl for you, gwennyth adler, he screwed up and overdosed her. that's murder. you really want to be on the hook for that? -now we have this new witness who can explain everything. i don't remember the bar where i was. i don't remember how i got to that filthy motel room with... with someone on top of me. and there was a second man. so, both of them... both of them... -natalie... i'm very sorry about what you've been through. and i can understand why you would want to disappear, but now that you are back, we can put these men away. i did not disappear. the prosecutor freaked out when he found out i was bipolar. -he said when the jury heard i was taking klonopin, they might not believe me. excuse me, natalie. did you say you were taking klonopin? and i was totally managing. but, you know, after that night, i... lost my job and then my health insurance. -and then without my medicine, i don't, um... i don't even know what happened next. that's not disappearing. that's having your life destroyed. and now you want to do it again. -i don't. your case was mishandled, natalie. there's no excuse for that. but we can make it right. how? -how? i'm still bipolar, okay? but now i'm homeless, and i'm broke. does that improve my credibility? the state sets aside money for witness assistance. -we can help you get back on your feet. i can't do it. i can't go through it again. i won't! you won't go to court as a victim. -you'll go as a witness. all you have to do is say that you had sex without your consent. the dna results will tie your case with mine and put the man away who hurt you so badly. not just one of them. we could get both of them, natalie, if you just want to look at some pictures, maybe see some faces. -they may jog your memory. she doesn't need to identify anyone. we have a dna match to our suspect. who do you want her to point out, detective? my lawyer. -i want my lawyer. i'm not saying another word to you people without stroh. you don't have to say a word. your dna puts you at both crime scenes. and with this new witness, we have more than enough evidence to convict you of rape and murder. -look, mr. harris. before your attorney gets here, you should know that the d.a. is prepared to offer you a greatly reduced sentence in exchange for the name of the person who drugged those women. but if you refuse to cooperate, you'll be taking the fall -- all by yourself. in prison, rape goes both ways. and stroh walks out of here a free man. -but you'd better hurry up and make your decision, because the meter is running. i'm sorry. okay. uh... chief johnson. -i hope you weren't questioning my client without me. of course not. just advising mr. harris of the new charges brought against him. or should i say the old charges? we found the victim in his first rape. -oh, really? tell me, how is natalie gilbert feeling? she back on her meds? she'll be ready for court in a month. so, that's why you provoked a mistrial. -i hate to say this, chief, but you are the worst loser i have ever met. and you are a loser. hello, guys. always a pleasure. harris didn't drug those women. -he had a partner. and i intend to find him. not with this. i was wondering how you were able to track my client to the restaurant where you arrested him. and then today, in court, when you accused me of being his partner, -i finally figured it out. you hadn't been following him. you'd been following me. arrogant considering you just settled a federal lawsuit in which i sued you for harassment. you guys may think she walks on water, but you're following her across some very thin ice. -very, very thin. chief. i think i know why natalie gilbert woke up early during her rape and why gwennyth adler didn't wake up at all. uh, i'm listening. natalie was taking klonopin, a benzodiazepine. -it creates an enzyme that blocks the rohypnol the assailants used to knock her out. the result -- she woke up too quickly. so harris and his partner upped the dose of rohypnol on the next victim to make sure that she stayed sedated. and that's how they killed her, yeah. okay. -detective, um, where's natalie gone? uh, well, d.d.a. baldwin wants her in protective custody. so provenza's processing her now. but stroh's in the building. all i need is for her to look at him. -chief, natalie refuses. uh, was she able to pick stroh's picture out of a six-pack? baldwin wouldn't let me show 'em to her. i tried. detective, that's why i had you in the room, so you could guide the victim! -chief, we've ended up having a really good day so far. this is the thanks i get for getting baldwin four more weeks? she's wants to use natalie to get a conviction against harris. and when she does, for a more lenient sentence, he may very well give up his partner. chief, i-it's a "bird in the hand" type situation. -we take the rape conviction, and we beat him over the head with it. it does not get me stroh. baldwin isn't going to blow her case over -- what? - unsubstantiated accusations. chief. -i'm trying to find a place to park natalie gilbert, but it's turning out to be a lot tougher than it should. she's homeless. she has no place to go. and, uh, i think putting her back into a motel room might turn out to be counterproductive. we can't just let her walk out of here. -goodness, no. captain, there's the johnson rule to consider. we can't let people leave the building if they're gonna be facing hostile situations. natalie needs some protection. don't you agree? -i want to tell you -- i want to say h-how sorry i am about that other woman. i just -- i can't do any more than i already have. that's okay. -i'm only worried that one of your attackers is still out there. you got a good look at him. we have his dna. and he knows all that. brenda? -fritzi! we have a guest. you remember natalie? sure. good to see you again. -uh, i'm going to steal brenda for a second, natalie, if you don't mind. i'll be right there. just one second. anyway, you're perfectly safe here tonight. i'm only concerned about what happens later... when you're out on your own somewhere and the i.a.p.d. is not around. -of course, if you could identify the guy, we could pick him up, end this ongoing threat against your life. but as it stands now, he's gonna come after you again. only this time, he'll try to silence you. keep you from ever telling us what you don't remember. brenda? -yes? excuse me. can i get you anything else? more bread? more water? -what are you doing? she's homeless, fritz. is she staying the night? well, i was hoping that she'd end up taking me to a bar. do you really think it's fair to drag that poor girl through her rape again when it's clear she doesn't want to think about it? -do you think it's fair that the guy who did that to her is running around free? i'm trying to find him and put him in prison. no, you're not. you are trying to nail stroh. it's the same thing. -is it? did your little gps device show stroh at either of the motels where your two victims were raped? did it show him at the bar where your second victim was the night she died? harris has a cab. and he asked for two keys to that motel room the night he raped gwennyth. -and harris didn't drug her. well, how do you know for sure stroh did? he's using your fascination with him to get his client off. you want harris to walk? i want 'em both -- harris and stroh. -i won't give up one to get the other. and baldwin will. i - i remember something. stella's nightclub. -that's what it was called. that's where i went. lieutenants. can you explain to me why i had to learn that mr. harris was being removed from holding and brought to a night club from a voicemail? your secretary left work early? -just guessing. relax, counselor. you'll love this place. yeah, it's ladies' night. as long as i don't have to talk to them. -mr. stroh, welcome to stella's. we have a table waiting for you. just follow me. where's my client? uh, he'll be here in a minute. -ah. here we are. uh, have a seat, counselor. uh, gabriel, if you don't mind, would you ask the bartender to get mr. stroh here a cocktail? none for me, thanks. -oh. well, um, i could use another club soda. with a lime. mm-hmm. why do i get the feeling you guys have gone... out of your way to see me tonight? -this is definitely the place. you sure? yeah, i remember that guy. what do you remember about him? he carded me at the door. -he said he couldn't believe i was over 21. anything else? i don't think so. you're doing great, natalie. just take it all in. -tell us what else you remember, okay? okay. it's okay. i'm right here with you. chief johnson. -come here often? that's him. that's him! what? that's him! -that's him! hey! get off! that's him! hey! -that's him! get up! that's him! that's him! it's all right. -it's all right. he's under arrest now. you're okay. you're safe. you're safe. -you're with us. so... assuming the dna evidence confirms that you just found george harris' mystery partner, i might be willing to make a deal in exchange for my client's cooperation. great. -wonderful. drugging women to have sex with them? i don't understand it. it's just so... unsporting. not to even let them even have a fighting chance. -should you talk to baldwin, or should i? i can't make deals with murderers. you just love calling it murder, don't you? all right. i'll attend to the gory details. -and, uh... lighten up. you got your man, as always. right? charlie knew how to talk to women. you know, working in a bar,talk he met all kinds of girls. -and he said that if i just did what he said, he'd hook me up, too. so i got the room, and he got the babe. by the time i showed up in my cab, he had 'em all loosened up. after that, it was just easy. just like he said it would be. -except for that -- that last girl. gwennyth. gwennyth. after we, um... after i... she started making these noises, like choking. and i shook her just a little, just to wake her. -and then she just stopped breathing. then charlie showed up, and he was pissed. put too much of that stuff in her drink. he didn't want to kill her. he just -- other girl from the time before, she, um... she woke up too soon. -now write it all down and hope it checks out. chief johnson? no apology? well, then, i guess this is goodbye... finally. you'll see me again. -you can count on it. be right back. don't soft-pedal this. i want it said to her just the way chief pope told me it would be done. uh, don't soft-pedal what? -i'm not ungrateful for the results we achieved, but you behaved toward me with what i consider to be a condescending, dismissive, and secretive attitude. and, whether you're aware of it or not, you harmed the prosecution of my case. your case? that's right. my case. -captain? maybe we should go into your office for -- no. no. here's fine. -chief pope believes that -- chief pope believes? oh, sorry. go on. chief pope believes that you should start bringing prosecutors on earlier in your cases. -he and the district attorney agree that provoking a mistrial -- i didn't provoke a mistrial. i answered the questions as truthfully as i could, in keeping with the oath i took on the stand. i know. i understand. -the chief of police would like the district attorney's office to have a more open access to major crimes. okay. we'll talk. anything else? you are no longer to investigate phillip stroh, monitor his movements, or in any way, shape, or form interfere with the conduct of his activities either personal or legal, without prior approval of chief pope. -got it. thank you, sharon. chief? i'm sorry about this. i'm speaking to you now not only as a representative of the professional standards bureau, but also as a colleague and a friend. -if i were you, i would take these orders very seriously. trust me -- i am. == sync, corrected by elderman == -the best thing for you to do is fuck off while you can! you think jock or any of them are going to listen to reason? probably not. so, what's the point? you just look weak. -mate, if we wanted to get you, we wouldn't do it at night. we'd do it right in front of your face. fucking cowards! this is all about the bandaids trying to prove they're harder than we are! that's the trouble with you commos. -you haven't worked out that if you push us... we push back twice as hard. go and tell someone who cares. we fucking outnumber him two to one. he's got guns and he wants to use them. he's prepared. -so have we. hang on. no, no, no. i thought you said that you weren't going to do that. i thought you told him that. -this is full-on hostilities, alright? this is all-out war! why did you let him split the club? everything was fine before that. i'm leaving, snod. -i'm not taking any more chances with chris and the kids. you keep this for now. you feel the same in a week, i'll let you go. i mean, you can bash each other as much as you like. you start firing guns in public places, expect a whole lot of grief from us. -is that a threat? you bet. and there'll be no fights at football grounds. this is guerrilla warfare. so watch your back. -the swap meet at the viking tavern tomorrow at milperra. it's a compulsory meeting. and if the comanchero are there, we will bash them and we will take their colours... and put an end to this. bandidos forever! forever bandidos! -hey, shifty. hey, you old bastard. leanne. what are you doing here? you going to church? -yeah, right! no, i'm dropping some flowers on my old man's grave. nice. what you doing after that? going to a swap meet. -why? can i come? i don't think so. i'm bored, shifty. don't be such a dumbshit arsehole. -listen here, leanne, i told you to quit with the swearing! i'll be off this bike as soon as look at you and slap your arse! tell you what i'll do. stay with me bike, see no-one touches it, then i'll think about taking you to the swap meet. fucking deal. -whoa! soap and water, leanne! yeah, soap and bloody water and don't be too bloody long. good morning! hello, mate. -hey. look what's under there. happy father's day. thanks, mate. thank you. -what are they? thanks very much! happy father's day. jesus christ, leroy. we won't have any left! -the trick's getting the pressure right in the bastard. just use your bloody mouth! yeah, i tried that! hurts in here. just leave it alone, ok? -let me do that. you come and do this. nice day for it. aye. you know, my father, he never approved of father's day. -he said it was a capitalist plot designed to separate the worker from his money. me, i'd rather enjoy it, you know? a day of reflection of the importance of being the man of the house. not my father. no time for reflection there. -course, growing up in the gorbals forges a man politically. goebbels was a nazi. what? you know. # hitler has only got one ball # -# goering, his are way too small # # himmler had something sim'lar # # but poor old goebbels had no balls at all. # what are you talking about, you clown? i'm talking about father's day and growing up in the glasgow slums. -i mean, what the fuck has that got to do with the third reich, leroy? don't say another word, pal. ok? are you going to the swap meet? yeah. -fog's picking me up. good. 'cause i've got a neighbour coming over. he's a drainer. yeah? -you'd probably be out of your depth. i'll show you how to do this. it's too fast, see? hey, bull. you coming to milperra? -nah. everybody's going. i'm not. well, how am i supposed to get there? i need a lift. -that's not my problem. hey, chopper. christine. big night out? yeah, always. -come here. hey. you know this is compulsory, don't you? snoddy wants us all there. fair dinkum. -babe, do you mind if i drop chop off and have a couple of beers? well, you're lucky it's father's day. i'll only be a couple of hours. i promise. better bring him home... -come here. otherwise i'll be doing the cooking. no, no! that's my barbeque. you don't touch that! -yeah, well, you've been told! you, you're a bully. see ya. alright? and you smell. -hit it, leroy. backhand. forehand. backhand. leroy. -game, set, match. oh! after the meet, come back for a feed, if you like. oh, we're thinking out heading to mittagong for a bit of a run. well, enjoy yourselves. -going to see if there's any interest. see who turns up at the club. if you do decide to come back, get snowie to bring some meat, eh? i wouldn't mind a bit of a run, pres. yeah, well, i wouldn't mind that either. -poor old thing hardly gets a ride these days. i heard that. ok! ready? and go! -hang on! hang on! no, wait! what's going on here? go on. -bring me in, bring me in! come on, come on, come on! what are we doing? chop, come on! here we go. -alright. one, two, three, four! ow! fuck! guys, no, we're supposed to... -roo, come on in. come on, roo! you show us then! come on, mate. you got to show us. -come on. here we go. oi! oi! oh, the double! -what is that?

'cause there's someone already here named pam. -hey! welcome to your party. everybody get comfy now. this first song's over a half hour long. best gig ever. -they asked me to play only originals. i said, "have you heard my originals? they're terrible." they said, "even better." i said, "i get it. it's an ironic party for nellie." -maybe we should just go. no. i gotta do this. hey, jessica, can i talk to you? uh, yeah, sure. -what's up? maybe we could talk in private. uh... yeah. what is it? well, first let me just say that i hope when i'm done with the sort of ugly bits that we can stay friends. -you're breaking up with me? uh... no. no. you always do this. -you twist my words around. part of me thinks we should just end this right now. oh, my god. are you leaving me for erin? you said she wasn't relationship material, and she wasn't as good as me, but it's her, isn't it? -whoa! that- no. okay. you want honesty? -super-honesty time. i'm gay. what? i am gay, and i prefer men. i knew it! -you did not, kenny! you invited me to go shopping with you. i like hanging out with you. you're a cool guy. which proves my point. -that i'm gay. andy, you're not gay. i mean, we were... together. and you seemed pretty excitable. well, i was faking it. -i had to fake it every time. i had to imagine that i was in a steam room with john stamos. i can't say it doesn't make sense... well... look, it's-- -i mean, i was good at hiding it, but-- it's fine, andy. i didn't think we were gonna get married or anything. i just... i'm just upset for now. -understandable. and i'm really sorry. i really am. so... we should probably... go. this humble but sincere effort is all for our valued new colleague. -excellent. to nellie bertram. you are a most welcome and friendly presence at our company. cheers. why, thank you. -pam, on the other hand, is a most unwelcome, entitled, unfriendly presence in our company. cheers. nellie is terrific, but to be honest, every day i imagine how happy i'd be if pam died. oh. well. -i feel that as someone who knows pam only a little bit... enough. a good amount. not the most, though. i would say that she is misunderstood and that maybe there's some stuff in her past that you guys don't know about that's a little messed up, and probably makes her such a torture to work with. -we hate pam. we hate pam. we hate pam! we hate pam! we hate pa-- -so we've established... no. no. that you guys hate pam. do you ever wish she would just... -disappear? oh! that was a really rough scene. right? rough scene. -yeah. oh... at least we can kiss now. oh, yeah. you know, that stuff that i said about you to her... -i did- that's just-- i had to say it. you know, i was dating her at the time. yeah. yes, of course. -ah... i feel really tired. yeah. probably from seeing that turkey. oh, yeah. -when we drove by the farm. ohh. always does it. are you nellie? oh, i think you're my volunteer. -come on over here, huh? oh, i'll do it. i will volunteer. no, nell- she-- -i'll do it. oh! big guy, huh? how's the air up there? watch out for... birds. -all right, let's, uh-- let's do some card magic. now, what i want you to do is... i want you to pick a card just by looking at it. do not say what it is. it's the 4 of hearts. -oh, no, you-- looks like we got a guy from another country here, huh? no hablo el cardo, señor? hmm? ha. -all right, the card is picked. now, sir, will you please shuffle the deck? you didn't just do that on... purpose, did ya? why is jim treating the magician poorly? -little known fact about me-- before i was a magician, i used to work... at a rope factory. not true. 'cause that's not a real place. -but i never could seem to figure out those knots. that's not a real knot. when you pull on it, it disappears. what the hell? all right, where's phyllis? -who's phyllis? look! this is really uncool, okay? i put on a clean show here-- okay, scram, wizard. -what? you heard me! ho oh! well, nellie, i'm sorry. if i'd known jim and pam would use this party as an excuse to abuse a magician-- -well, i thought it was quite fun. in fact, i think they're brilliant employees in their own way. don't you see what i see? interesting. yes. -no, yes, i see that. great work, team. great party. you think this is a great party? this cake has vegetables in it. -like a salad bar, robert. how do i get this taste out of my mouth? what? why are we-- i just gotta do one thing. -oh. hello. hey, everybody, look who's here. what are you doing here? hi. -super-duper honesty time. i'm not gay. in fact, i'm so not gay that i'm in love with a girl. her name is erin hannon, and she's right there. she's sweet, funny, and beautiful, and total relationship material. -why the hell did you come back here? go away. get lost. get out! okay. -you're done! bye, guys. get out. you ruined my party! who does that? -are you kidding me? yeah, run away, andy. run away! you're disgusting! i can't believe you're not gay! -yeah, get outta here. don't come back. uh-oh. you don't even know how to drive! bye, andy! -loser! nice car! have fun! hey, hank. yes, ma'am. -i thought i was very specific about not letting up a magician? yes, ma'am. i got my eyes open. oh, turns out that he actually made it up there. what? -that ain't right. yeah, he came and went. wait a minute! you said he was a magician, right? you don't think he could have used... -it couldn't have been... just let's go... night, night. sam? ! -sam? ! is that sam? he's stopped breathing! somebody call an ambulance! -give him some room. i got it, folks. back to work, please. come on, back to work. there's grapes on the vine, people. -we'll take care of this. get back to work. everyone, get back to work! the autopsy just showed heart failure, but, um... the day after my dad died a lawyer from the winery knocked on my door. -and, let me guess, said that your father's death wasn't their fault. right. hmm. then he gave me this. wow. -that's not normal. right? that's a lot of zeros. the check isn't valid unless i sign this nondisclosure agreement. huh. -that's why i contacted you. i want to know what they did to my dad. you don't... you don't pay people to keep secrets unless you have secrets to keep. so, what we're gonna do is we're gonna find out what the secret of your father's death is. subtitles edited by ehhhhtozebec -come on, people! i got 100 broke citizens standing outside that gate, hoping to get picked for work. you slow down, you go. i want my quota met. hey! -new guy! what? still got to fill out your paperwork. yeah, boss. and pick up your pace! -punk ass. he can get a little rough. you better be careful. yeah, well, i ain't the guy that... wants trouble. let me carry that for you. -thanks. oh, your water. oh, yeah. so you work the harvest for two weeks, huh? yeah. -it's... it's steady work... if you can keep it. pruning begins from leaf drop in the fall to bud break around april. mm. -oh, thank you. welcome. i had a good buddy of mine that worked out here. i don't know if you know him or not... sam knox. -um... i'm sorry. i-i've got to go. people spooked out here, nate. any movement on getting somebody inside? -yeah, working on it. get me any background information you can on sam knox's working conditions. copy that. there's the full nondisclosure agreement that kristin's required to sign in order to get her settlement. that thing's 100 pages longer than the one you sign for the cia. -the winery's just trying to get her to shut up. and how did you get your hands on the cia contract? you ask too many questions. you know, a man dies, you take responsibility, you make amends. you don't bury your head in the sand, and, you know, make cash payments to people so they'll be quiet. -unless it's the tip of the iceberg. who wants to bet that sam knox is not the first victim? parker's in. okay, parker, talk to me. i'm intern parker. -intern parker. intern parker. nate... i'm going in. i'm intern parker. -intern parker. yeah, we've, uh... we've been working on her long-con abilities, you know, internalizing the character more. is that really necessary? winery interns? -! i'm an intern, too! all right. i'm so excited. we get to stomp grapes and taste wine. -so, you're the new the cellar rats. all right, i know why you're here. you want to learn how to make wine in the ancient tradition of the great vintners of europe. well, that's not gonna happen. that's like me teaching you latin to go to the moon. -we're gonna increase the output of this winery by 1,000%, and for the pleasure of being part of that, you get college credit. welcome. what? wait. is... -is college credit code for "you're not gonna pay me"? get to work! is intern parker working for free? she's just a character, parker. yeah. -but i know what intern parker's worth is. and intern parker deserves a fair wage for her labor! yeah, you might want to dial that back a little bit, yeah. dial it back, yeah. thinking so. -uh, charmer we heard, that's frank madigan. he recently bought the bee meadow winery. basically, he fired all the staff and hired a bunch of part-timers. where'd he get his money? he used to run a chemical manufacturing company. -they made acrylics, adhesives, dyes, epoxies, fertilizers. what's his safety record? he's got several worker fatalities. he's basically trying to pull the same thing he did there... paying for silence. -i mean, if his old company was a person, he'd be doing time for murder one. instead, he buys a winery. we got negligence, worker deaths, cover-ups. new digs, same m.o. now, he said he was gonna increase yield by 1,000%. -that's a big claim. he's up to something. yeah. now, parker and eliot, they're investigating the death. what's our gig? -let me see the financials on the winery. okay, so here's the loan that madigan took out to buy the winery. now, it says here he put up his wine collection as collateral. can he do that? if you have a strong collection made up of certain vintages, it can easily be worth millions. -yeah, some of the biggest cases i investigated were wine-insurance payouts. what is the jewel in his crown? that would be a bottle previously owned by thomas jefferson. excuse me? it's the only one of its kind. -appraised value is... priceless. okay, when eliot and parker find out madigan's secret, that bottle is what we'll use for leverage. let's go steal a bottle! no, no, no, we... not steal. -no, no. i mean, a wine like that... a thomas jefferson bottle... that collection is gonna be heavily insured. so if we steal it, i mean, we're just gonna be handing him a fat insurance payout. -no, i think we need to maybe ride with him through the loan. if his wine collection is the collateral, let's make the collection worthless. if the bank finds out the collection's a fraud, madigan loses the winery. yeah, we just take a 200-year-old bottle of grape juice and turn it into two-buck chuck. -let's go fake a bottle. nate, this isn't what i do man, okay? i make beers, man. i-i-i don't do wines. well, madigan, he broomed out the old staff. -so there's job openings. that's the best way in. hardison, you're gonna make a great vintner. i don't even know what a vintner does. a vintner is like the resident geek. -wine-making, it's fermentation, a chemical process. so you just pretend that you're making whatever it is you make. what i make is beer! man, did you even try my jicama plum stout? uh-oh. -it's ridiculous, man. the flavor's just... it's pungent, and it's amazing, man. and if you did, you would know that i know my beers, man. this is wine. it's a completely different field. -it's like trying to play football on a baseball field. interview jitters. relax. sophie's got you all the answers. what paper did you say you write for? -wine blog. "kay syrah syrah." that's clever. so, you were the vintner at the bee meadow winery until frank madigan took ownership. everyone wants to know, what's the real reason behind your departure? -at the end of the day, you can't rush the grapes. oh, you can totally rush the grapes. yeah. what kind of materials do you use? sustainably harvested oak barrels. -well, what's wrong with plastic? let's save some trees. bottom line... i value quality over quantity. and, you know, i got three words for you... -volume, volume, volume. you're hired. interns... jason brown, the new vintner. when he says "clean," you say, "how clean?" -but we've already cleaned. i'm sorry. was i talking to you? intern. did you sterilize it? -did you remember to sterilize it? one microbe will destroy this entire barrel. you understand this, right? all of you? i am gonna... -sorry. i... here's the computer you ordered, sir. my precious. you... -i mean you. you're my precious. okay, look. i really don't want to be here. i got things to do today. -so i'm only gonna say this once. this is a carbon dioxide monitor. does anybody in here know what that does? it measures... wrong. -it monitors carbon dioxide. there's one in every single room in the winery, just like the one on the wall back there. this reads out real-time co2 levels. and... none of you know what that means. okay. -you. you're on supplies. get me everything on this list. i mean, everything. it's gonna take you a while. -you get it? you... you see what i'm saying? aye-aye, captain. what y'all standing around looking at me for? i see a room full of smudges and a bunch of people with brooms and mops. -get to it. i don't have a mop in my hand. i can't do nothing about it. can't help you. i'm sorry. -age of the geek, baby. i am the grape gatsby. can't take this anymore. clean, clean, clean. interns do this, interns do that. -you know what? i don't think this is a valuable work experience. you got a little something on you right there. look. who's that? -his name's leonard. it's madigan's right-hand guy. he's got a very punchable face. yeah, i noticed that. okay, it's time we get you in. -here's what i'm thinking. oh, no. i'm gonna think of something fun. this isn't my first picnic with a wine collector. i know, sophie, but you have to be careful. -this is someone who knows how to make wine on a molecular level. okay? this isn't some, you know, rich person's weekend hobby. you can't fool a scientist at his business. it's just about status. -wine's just another way of saying, "i'm better. i belong." and that's my business. eh, end of the day, some things can't be faked. -end of the day, there's fake... and then there's fake. i'd like to know the difference. oh, thank you so much. enjoy. mr. madigan. -chantale mitchell. hmm? you're looking for a new pourer? h.r. handles those applications. oh, i'm not one for filling out forms. -i'll tell you what, mr. madigan. i sell a case of wine... a case of wine to any customer in this room... i'm your girl. you'll never land them. -these people are looky-loos. they're here because the tasting is free. excuse me. mr. madigan. i am very, very persuasive. -all right, then. let's start with the toughest customer here. what are we looking for, nate? okay, the most common cause of death for field workers are dehydration and hypothermia. well, so much for dehydration. -it's been warm here for over three weeks. no one's freezing to death. break's over! back to work! i do not like that guy. -nate, this guy works everybody really hard, but he's not killing anyone. if madigan was willing to pay through the nose to cover up sam's death... keep looking. you like the finer things. and you're not afraid to show it. -you're a cab man. cut the small talk and pour. it's our 2010. big flavors. it's jammy. -taste the notes of black currant. it's fine, but i'm not reaching for my wallet. let's try something different. something special. i know the wines, lady. -next time don't try to snow the boss. the vintner usually holds back something nice for the staff. ah! what is it? no peeking. -the finer things... for a fine wine. better, right? structured, supple. tastes like money. -what is it, the '08? it's still the 2010. wait. the same one. i tasted the difference. -no. you expected the second glass to taste better than the first glass. i told you a story. i set the table. you tasted what you wanted to taste. -that's disturbing. the family that owned this place didn't care if they turned a profit, so long as they made a better bottle. they made 20,000 cases a year. you know what i call that? small-time. -i'm making big changes. 200,000 cases a year. the wine will cost me half as much to make. won't taste the same, but it'll be good enough. i need someone who can help me sell it. -you on board? of course, mr. madigan. look for endosulfans and organochlorines. they're illegal pesticides... could have killed our victim. -this vocabulary is not thief friendly. just scan and move on. clear. it's fertilizer. someone changed the labels. -it's not fertilizer. then what is it? someone changed the labels. it's not fertilizer. then what is it? -don't get it on your hands. that's it, eliot... proof. maybe. we got something, nate. -yeah, hundreds of gallons of something. we got a sample. get it to hardison. i want it i.d.'d. hundreds of gallons... -that means there's purchase orders, usage logs. we need evidence that's gonna hold up in court. parker, find the paper trail. could be poison. can't let them use this. -you go. i'll take care of it. okay, hardison, sophie, start the con. keep it simple. a swap-and-whisper campaign. -sophie, i bet you're halfway there. 3/4. thank you so much. hey, nate, i think i'm making quite an impression on our mark. enjoy. -hey. pinot sold out. so did the syrah and the chardonnay. pre-orders for next year are through the roof. let's celebrate. -i'm dying for a drink. and the good stuff. i've heard amazing things about your collection. i got a couple of bottles i've been saving for the right time. -i got just the place for a drink. come on. oh. tower's my favorite part of the whole building. hmm. -it's gorgeous. is it part of the original winery? yeah, see, at harvest, carbon dioxide builds up around the tanks. hundreds of tons of grapes and yeast-making alcohol releasing co2. you can't see it, smell it. -you just feel a bit woozy, and then... you're done. ooh. scary. yeah, well, nowadays, we use air movers and hvac systems to keep the levels down. -but in the old days, these doors would open up and flush the whole winery with fresh air. it's pretty impressive. well... it's like the place when i bought it. it's good for its time. -but times change, science marches on. what do you think of the wine? mm. it's good. but i understood you had some really rare bottles. -yeah. you want to see my cave? try and stop me. and your button cam is now online. sophie, get ready to swap. -killing the lights at your say-so. wow. nice, huh? i pulled some of my favorite bottles. ah. -bella nunzio. rion des landes. mm. 1934 chateau margaux. frank... -owned by thomas jefferson himself. isn't that something? over 200 years old? i put some serious security on this thing. oh. -may i? it's got its own unique i.d. number. you can't open it without breaking the seal. no one can swap it out without me knowing. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. -hang on. hang on. you put a license plate on your wine. come on. he put a license plate on the wine? -who does that? this is... this is gonna take days for me to crack. and by the time i do, there's no guarantee that sophie can get back in that wine cellar. plus, we don't want the workers breathing this stuff in anymore. madigan has to be caught with a fraudulent wine collection, okay? -and how do we do that if we can't swap bottles? just make the real bottle look fake. a 200-year-old bottle that we can't swap... how? eh, i'm working on it. okay, parker? -about that paper trail... go find it. great. got to forge a bottle. test the mystery fluid and forge a bottle. easy day. -yay. now, sophie, start the whisper campaign. make him doubt his own bottle. huh. wow. -that ponsot looks to die for. did you just say "huh" to a bottle that was owned by one of our founding fathers? frank, i... mm, i'm sure i've got this all wrong. -it's just... my old boss, mike biltz, he went on a crusade for five years searching for that jefferson bottle, and he claims he found it, without a shadow of a doubt, in the collection of a saudi prince. uh, no. there's only one bottle. the other must be... -fake? yeah. yeah, you think so? you think that's possible? i just... he put a $20 million offer on the table. -he had it authenticated and triple-checked. look, this is the real bottle. yes. yes. yes! -i'm sure you're right. i just... you know, wine fraud is a pernicious business. my ex-boyfriend... ugh... -he turned out to be a big disappointment. half his collection was fake. make the man doubt his own wine and his manhood? damn. hang on, boys. -flag on the play. boss man told me to move this to another part of the field. i'll take this. hop down for me, amigo. all right. -i'll meet you guys there. okay, no problem. whoa! ohh, hell. that's my bad. -i'll go tell leonard... this happened... i'll pick up another load. you guys just go ahead and keep working. what an idiot. -all right, hardison, did you i.d. the sample? i'm kind of doing two things at once here, man. this sn-12 is some nasty stuff. its chemical structure reminds me of like some kind of experimental fertilizer. probably accelerates plant metabolism, you know? -you can get high yields faster. yeah, and more profit for madigan. you know, plants love it, but people, not so much. other substances like this cause palpitations, high blood pressure, and sometimes even heart failure. just like our victim. -parker, did you find a paper trail on the sn-12? uh, yes, but i'm not exactly sure what to do with it. uh, it's no problem, parker. what you should do is disable the s.s.h. shell and then delete dot log-in, and then reproc the authentication daemon. um, okay. -wait. too sloppy? you know what? you're right. instead, uh, how about this? -try to trigger a bios update, and then intercept the request so you can trojan a reply. that easy. can't you just come down here and do this? not right now, baby. still spoofing madigan's pc. -it's the last step of the whisper campaign. i'm making him think that he bought a fake bottle of wine so that he has to call the 911 of wine. ha. okay. last step. -i'm just adding another buyer, sophie's old boss. good, good. prey on madigan's insecurities. he's a self-made man. make me old money. -give me a yale degree, a home in the hamptons. if i say the dubai bottle is real, who is he to question it? yeah, get me dan snyder. ha ha ha! yes! -outgoing call to the wine auditor. hardison, are you almost done? because exception 214 is about to happen. that's an automatic system wipe. what? -no, no. no, no, no, no. no. no, no, no. the evidence is about to get scrubbed. -hardison, i can't stop this. no. no, no, no, no, no, no, no. no, no, no, no. no, no. -no! i... all right. okay. so, what am i looking for? -maintenance records, spraying schedules, logs that tell us exactly when the workers used sn-12. there's no data. i thought you stopped the wipe. i did, but madigan must have deleted it before we got here. so it's too late. -wait, somebody copied the data before it got deleted. why would madigan copy files that could have him sent to jail? miss knox, nate ford. mr. ford, any progress? so, madigan was using a chemical on his vines, and we think that's what caused your father's heart failure. -now, it's not something that a medical examiner typically screens for. he was so happy to have the work, even though it was... he worked more hours than anyone else on that pruning crew. yeah, extra exposure. that's probably why he was the first to get sick. -wait... madigan's still using the chemical? what about the other workers? well, i got my people on it, but i have to ask you a question. did anybody else from the winery pay you a visit? -uh, actually, yeah. a woman just stopped by. thank you, miss knox. we'll be in touch. okay, i know who has the missing data. -hardison, i want you to pull up the security footage. look for a time stamp that matches when the file was copied. okay, we got a jane doe. i'm sending you her photo right now. nate, is she a friend of yours? -never met her. but she paid kristin knox a visit. she knows about sn-12. and she's going after madigan. we have ourself an ally. -she works out here. she got jumpy when i was asking her questions. i'm searching the employee database. okay, i got a betty carter. looks like osha sent madigan a warning after sam's death. -they got an anonymous tip about the working conditions here, and somebody named leonard put her on the suspect list. well, that explains why she was so scared. she probably thought eliot was working for madigan. she took the data for the exact same reason that we need it... to shut madigan down. okay, eliot, find her. -if we know betty has the data, it's only a matter of time before madigan does, as well. look. here comes leonard. let's go. mr. madigan. -someone's been poking around the office. i told you no one gets near the knox death. do you understand? i'm trying to move this place into the future. why don't people get that? -what if it's the carter girl? then you're gonna have to shut her down. i'll handle the auditor. sophie, hardison, the wine auditor should be on his way. what? -no code names? uh, the fox is in the henhouse. how's that? nate. we're good to go. -well, wine fraud is a million-dollar business, so we're up against million-dollar tests. there are three standard tests he'll run on the jefferson wine to verify its age. we need to hack each test to make sure that it fails. you want us to hack three state-of-the-art tests while the owner is hovering like a stage mom? that's exactly what i want. -the first one's mine. easy peasy. frank. hmm? your bottle is the genuine article. -i'm sure of it. i-i... i just want to give you some moral support. i appreciate that, chantale. when you're ready, mr. madigan. -wait, wait, wait. good luck. okay, nate, now he's doing the visual inspection. i like that camera. could shove a cat in that camera. -mm-hmm. he is zooming in. yeah, now, so, wait, he's looking for the wrong font, the wrong materials. any sign that it's not 200 years old. good thing sophie got there first. -wait, wait, wait. for good luck. ah, it's all about the details. invisible film. we printed one letter with the wrong kerning. -that thing screams "laser printer 2012." it makes the whole thing look forged. yeah, well, that was the easy one. the next two are gonna be a lot trickier. he's testing the glass. -wine bottles made before 1957... they contain manganese. bottles made after that have chromium. that's because in '57 madagascar gained independence and the price of manganese skyrocketed. "world ablaze." -you know, when you play shaka zulu on extreme level, you got to readjust your strategic economy. level 4. for real? mm. go ahead, girl. -wine? wine? what are you doing? i'm interning. get out! -wine. unbelievable. taste that. oh, that's my masterpiece right there. wine as sweet as my orange soda. -my teeth ache! is it working? oh, that lens you put on there? guaranteed. two down, one to go. -should be over here. she's working row 12. let's just get this done as quickly as possible. paul. give me your hat. -i need your hat and your jacket. quick. quick. just take it off quick. no problem. -we'll find her. that's her. let's go. and now for the geiger counter. okay, guys, so, here's the thing. -all wine bottles after 1947 have trace amounts of radioactivity. cesium isotopes from atmospheric nuclear testing. where did you get radioactive cesium? the things i do for nate. wait... so if it's radioactive, then why are we drinking it? -oh, come on, now, it's safe. there are trace amounts of cesium everywhere... on you, on me... everywhere but old wine. which is why hardison dipped the auditor's gloves into a slurry containing the isotope. -so i'm radioactive? why don't i have superpowers? babe, we all feel cheated. more clicks is good, right? all right. -not bad. now, you've taken the oldest bottle of wine i've ever seen and made it look underage. pretty good. he'll tell the bank immediately. madigan... -kiss your winery goodbye. wait for it. genuine. what? congratulations, sir. -how... damn it. he is nowhere near losing this winery. no. no, he isn't. -bottle failed every single test. how's that possible? nate. i tracked betty. i got footprints here. -leonard's guys got to her first. three guys. she put up a struggle. they've taken her, nate. i've been shaking things up a bit. -we put madigan on betty's trail. okay, eliot, get her back. yep. we succeeded too well. we didn't just make him doubt the wine. -we convinced him it was fake. so he bribed the auditor. hey! the bottle is real! that's amazing. -let's celebrate. i'm in the middle of something. what? no. what could be more important? -take the day off. we're closing early. what about you? i said go home. nate. -madigan's giving everyone a vacation day. something's going down at the winery. his wine collection is safe. his loan is safe. what is he up to? -nate, something's up. it's the co2 monitors. this is the winery app i made. lets me access my workstation. all the co2 monitors are offline. -so madigan's about to manipulate the carbon dioxide levels. i'd say he's probably going for somewhere between deadly and lethal. he just closed down the winery. who is he trying to hurt? your missing worker. -yeah. if i were madigan, i'd make it look like betty carter tampered with those co2 monitors in an act of sabotage, then died during her attempt. so any evidence she'd found is tainted as the work of a crazy person with a grudge. eliot, they'll leave her down by the fermentation tanks. -you know, i should be able to up the oxygen levels remotely. fire up some of the air movers or not. madigan sabotaged the hvac system. the tower. intern parker learned about the ventilation tower. -if we can get up there... we can open the door manually. okay, eliot, the air's gonna get a little thin. we're working on it. yo! how much time do we have before eliot runs out of air? -there they are! get them! eliot, hold on. we're coming. eliot? -eliot? ! there they are! get them! eliot's running out of air. -let's do this. your head's pounding, your vision's starting to go... that's your brain running out of oxygen. you'll be unconscious in 30 seconds. it... -it'll take me 10 seconds. shh, shh, shh. good job. i think it's about time intern parker started getting paid. hey. -hey. you all right? i got you. come here. that's it. -everybody out. we're done. i'd give that a b-plus overall. have we been watching the same game? we barely saved betty. -we didn't even get back the bottle. we convinced madigan that the bottle is fake. as far as he's concerned, it's only a matter of time before someone finds out. it's a ticking time bomb that he has to unload. tick... -tock. tick... tock. i've been waiting a long time for this bottle to come on the market. you're happy with the authentication? -oh, yeah. your auditor was very convincing. i just, uh, wonder something. why... why do we have to do this off the books? well, it's not the government's business where my assets go. -you know what i mean. sure, sure. i, uh... i heard you had to shut down your winery. oh, it's just a misunderstanding with osha. -we'll clear that up in no time. yeah. well... i couldn't be more pleased. it's been a pleasure. -frank madigan? you're under arrest for fraud. what is this? uh, what does it look like? it's a sting. -the auditor that you bribed confessed to this bottle failing all three tests. you just sold me a fake bottle of wine for an awful lot of money. oh, yes. here you go. no. -keep it. it's fake, after all. yes. yes. no. -no, it's the real bottle. no, tha... that's the real bottle. come on, let's go. come on. that's the real one! -that's the real one! okay, in here is everything you will need to build a case against frank madigan and his foreman. everything. thank you. for everything. -well, she got there first. your father was a good man. the money you gave us... it was enough to buy back the winery. we are now 100% employee owned. -we can't thank you enough. just take good care of the place. hello, beautiful. the money you gave them. oh, i may have found a buyer for the jefferson bottle. -oh. oh. hmm. ew. it's not hardison's brew, is it? -oh, no. certainly not. in memory of kristin's father... and in honor of good friends. mm. and with hope for the future. -hmm. wow. that's amazing. ahh. it tastes.. -special. uh... you said you found a buyer for the bottle. you didn't say "wine." you said "the jefferson bottle." -oh, i meant wine when i said bottle. i mean, it's not like the next buyer is ever going to taste the wine. it's too valuable. no, of course i meant wine. you mean... we... -are drinking the world's most expensive wine? you're the wine expert. and you're never gonna tell me, are you? i do know the difference between what's real and what's fake. s06 e08 -choked on multi-colored scarves - captioning: rene i. c. sync: nandus hey, you're new arround here, right?

i'm between jobs. -sounds like me talking to the irs. what's it been, six, maybe eight years? didn't you owe me some money? didn't you though? yeah, you did owe me some money. -you were supposed to come through on something for me right around the time you quit. i figured we're even. oh, you think we're even, you and i? what'd you ever do for me? i did everything for you. -you want me to make lists? i got you a job. i got you laid when you were 14. gave me my first line at 15, that was a great habit. look at you, you turned out all right. -so, let's talk about that brother of yours, you know, i read about him. mister entrepreneur, the blue collar american dream. "i make money, i build jobs for my community, blah, blah, blah..." how's he doing? he's good. how come you guys aren't still close? -what do you mean close? we're brothers. well, that's funny because you were practically like a father to that kid, and he hasn't ever done shit for you. well, it doesn't look like he's done shit for you. which brings me to my point. -you know, mikey, i think i know of a way where we can both earn what we deserve. and i'm talking six figures each. six figures? i thought you'd never show up. -hello. jamielindell? yeah. you have four days todeliver$350,000cash, oryourbrotherdies. who is this? -mikey? hello? getthecashtogether. we'llbein touch. who is this? -is this a joke?

hello. vicki,have youheardfrommikey? -i ain't seen him since the other day. what about alexis? she's been hanging out with these meth head losers in plum orchard. i haven't seen her either. alright, call me if you hear anything, okay. -the last thing the guy says on the phone is don't contact the police. oh, yeah. and you don't recognize the voice? no, he sounded like darth vader. he had a voice disguiser or something. -it wasn't mikey just fucked up? well, i don't know. i mean, it just... i wouldn't think twice if it wasn't mikey, you know. jesus christ. -so what do you think? hang tight, he'll probably roll in hung over or something. i'm hoping. hey, i figured you'd be in here as soon as you saw how much that mutual fund dropped but i don't want you to worry. -rob, how much money can i get my hands on in the next few days? what? i don't know, 10 grand. ten grand? no, more. -what's going on? mikey. he's fucked up. i got to put together 350 grand. oh shit. -is this a joke? you're not kidding are you? i need you to start liquidating everything. use property as collateral against some cash loans. all of it. -rob, do you understand? yeah, yeah, no, i just... i'm just worried about you, man. obviously something must be wrong. it is, i just told you it's fucking wrong. -it's my brother. i just, i'll handle the business later. just start putting the money together. deal with it, alright? that's gus wylan. -he's been undercover for a solid year. you think this guy can help? look, he agreed to meet you, that's all i got. you coming? yeah. -hey, man, thanks for meeting me. that'll take the edge off. i don't normally do this, but me and mikey go way back a ways. he was friends. he bought a package. -he was trying to turn it and he got jacked. who jacked him? some red-headed guy named rusty. i know that ginger bitch. i'll run down rusty, see what i can get outta him. -thanks, man, let's go. that's it? mikey? mikey? hey, buddy, you home? -what's this. easy, man, that's a stun grenade. what's he doing with it? relax, he wasn't gonna use it. you gave it to him? -he came by it. he came by it and he said he could move it, and i was doing him a solid. he was gonna sell it. what you looking for? i'm a friend of mikey's. -yeah, why didn't he leave you a key? why you breaking in? he wasn't home so i was just looking for food. you looking for coke? you know where mikey is? -huh, do you know where mikey is? nah, he... don't fucking lie to me. where the fuck is he? i don't know. -get the fuck outta here. fucking junkie. the guy that kidnapped your brother, is not gonna come back to the house looking for him. hi. oh, hi. -yeah. hey, buddy. so gus found this guy, rusty. he said he's an asshole, but he's not smart enough to be involved in anything like this. i'm not convinced. -yeah, let's get you convinced. rusty, open up. can i help you? i need to talk to you again. i already talked to your... -what the fuck? ! i already talked to gus. i didn't fucking kidnap him. rusty, look at me, look at me. -are you lying to me? i'm not lying, i'm not lying. i jacked him for his coke. i didn't fucking kidnap him. you hadn't seen jp or mikey in a long time, then come back on your radar, and you think his brother's a good mark. -no, no, well, yeah. everyone knows jp... is a good egg. still doesn't mean i fucking kidnapped him. i jacked him for his coke, man, i jacked him for his coke. -i fucking killed a guy once, man, that was six years ago. the cops never found out about it. fuck, fuck, okay. i'm not lying. i'm not lying, i swear, i swear. -i'll tell you about it. i swear to god, man, i'll tell you whatever. i don't know anything. i swear, fellas, i haven't seen him since here. ...wasted, so fuck him. -at the biloxi bar, man. i swear, fellas. excuse me, miss. were you working here two nights ago? yeah, 'till around midnight. -who closed? can i help you gentlemen with something? his brother's missing, apparently he was here. yeah. his name is mikey. -don't recognize him. well, then your vision must be terrible, the guys been drinking four nights a week for a decade. come on. sorry. sorry for refusing to help us or sorry you don't recognize him? -i'm a cop, don't fuck around. just a regular night. and like i said, i got out at midnight. but around 11, eddie king rolls in with a posse. settled into the back booth near the bathrooms. -eddie king? mm-hmm. fuck. so you're saying you think eddie king kidnapped your brother? yeah. -he was in the bar where my brother was last seen at. but you don't know that for sure? what am i missing here? there's not real mob here in the swamp. but eddie king is the closest thing this place has. -he's got ties in new orleans and new york. exactly. but folks that are connected, they don't do this kind of shit. it's too risky and it's flaunty. too much of a stretch. -you don't think he's involved? the only way i could see that, is if eddie king and your brother, grabbing a drink, catching up on old times, and decided to take you for a few hundred grand. fucking bullshit, my brother would never do that. how do you know how much you're worth? how'd they know to ask for 350 grand? -we gotta find someone else, someone more connected than gus. there's nobody more connected then gus. he's not doing shit. what do you think, he's gonna blow his cover, for your fucking brother? -i don't know. you think anybody in this fucking department gives a fuck about your deadbeat brother? so there's no one else? no. what do i do? -what do i do? you gotta face it. the police aren't going to help you here. i'm going to get all the information i can on eddie king. okay. -we're just going to have to handle it ourselves. i need your help here, okay. has he been talking about eddie king, mention him, anything? yeah, yeah, mikey talked about eddie king probably if he was like drunk and on a rant or something. do you know if he's seen him recently? -no, i... i don't know, he doesn't tell me shit. jp, look, i wanna help i do, but i'm concerned about alexis. she needs me. if mikey's fucked, he probably fucked himself. -it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he were in on it. what? i'm just saying, my mind's on alexis. she keeps running off with these stupid friends, and i just don't want her to make the same mistakes i did. vicki you're doing the best you can, okay. -who's she been running with? i don't know, some punk kids. this kid is your best shot to finding eddie king. now you're going to have a much better chance if i don't go with you, 'cause they're gonna make me for sure. how do i find them? -on the back, that's his hang. i love you, man. what is it? buddy's here. buddy? -buddy's here. my brother? really? well, what does he want? wouldn't say. -should i tell him you're not here? buddy? it's good to see you. came for a little chit chat. a little surprised to see you outside the big easy. -i'm not feeling too peachy keen being in biloxi, mississippi. did you lose your phone? it's been awhile since you made the trek. get in the car. what is this a brother bonding moment? -it's a little late for that don't you think? get in the car. we'll talk while we're driving. where we going? here. -have a pecan, they're good for ya. i don't want it. you should go. my mom's already gonna freak out on my ass. you should smoke this first. -smoke it, bitch. where the fuck you think you're going? you wanna hit my niece? huh, you wanna hit my fucking niece? stop, stop! -uncle jimmy stop, let him go. i'll go. aw, buddy, buddy, buddy. why'd you do this to us, eddie? you never could set the table. -what are you talking about? what are you ignorant? talk travels fast in new orleans just like tourists do. what, buddy? extortion? -kidnapping, ransom? i mean really? what the fuck were you thinking, eddie? no one gives a shit about this guy. nobody. -doesn't matter. what, it doesn't matter? is that how it's going to be? after everything i've done for you? everything you've took from me. -now you wanna take my life? oh, you're good, eddie. buddy! you're really good. you're better than me. -please, turn around. turn around, what are you gonna fuck me first? no, you're the fuck up, you fucked up royally. look, i know the idea sounds crazy, okay, but it's the context of the thing that was the no brainer. this guy's kid brother is, he's loaded, he was going to pony up $350,000 in 48 hours. -the cops don't have shit. it's too late. fuck you! mr. kuchar, we're finished here. my brother's trying to kill me, man! -youdon'tevenknowme. youandi thinkthesame,mikey. yeah, you and me we think the same. jp, he's different. he's good. -we're both fuck ups. you think i'd fuck him over for a pay out? there's no amount of money in this world that i would do that for. so fuck you, eddie. you owe me! -you owe me! i made you! you got no respect, no appreciation for your roots! try to bring you with me. it's not too late. -you really wanna pass this job up? six figures, easy money, no risk. mikey, it's no risk, it's six... mikey. go get him. -boss has been difficult so, uh... we can't just send a proof of life. we gotta send a message. i feel bad though. i've known you for a while, mikey. -fuck. fuck. okay. we gotta do this. are you sure you're doing the right thing here? -no. i don't. mikey has a tendency to get into trouble, you know that. don't start, rob. he put the lawnmower in my hand. -don't you get that? i owe everything to him. he didn't have the big brother i had. what's taking this so long? you said this would take a couple days. -what's going on, rob? i need a few more days, okay. well, we don't have a few more days. no, no, no. did you do something with my money? -i knew i could make you more. more? what are you saying? i put it into a house, okay, but listen to me. it's a great fixer upper in a gert town. -my cousin's a construction manager. i'd make you the same return-- do you know what you're saying to me? do you fucking know what you're saying? you going to prison doesn't do shit for me. i don't give a fuck how you get it. -i need that money by tomorrow, or that's exactly where you're going. you know something, mikey. i know something you don't know, and that's that you're lucky. you wanna know why? because tomorrow when we do the exchange, you get to find out how much your brother really loves you. -fuck you, eddie. yeah. i could probably learn something from you and jp. you know, how close you are. i had a brother once. -did you know that? yeah. i was just writing him a letter in the car ride on the way back. you got a minute? you don't mind if i read it to you. -maybe you can offer me some suggestions. about how to be good brothers. sure. "dear buddy, sorry about today, but you know you always were the creature from the war of the gargantuaswhenit cametome! but you remember when we were partners? -had a little car jacking operation. when we were teens. cops were on us one day, we ran. you got away, but i got caught. i was 17! -they offered me community service, all i had to do was give up my accomplice, you, my brother. but, no, i took the years. i got out in three. you had promised my share would be waiting. then i got out, there was nobody there to pick me up. -i took a goddamned bus from the prison! you had taken my share. gone to florida. and set up the business in new orleans! with my money! -you fucker. and i never got those three years back. love, eddie." what do you think, any good? should i send it? -well, i can't send it 'cause i fucking killed him today, alright. i hate you. i hate both of you. you're so lucky 'cause you had each other! well, that's the king brothers. -that's why i can expect something different from you. aw, jesus, man, i did that to you? no, i did it. for you. it's all there. -thanks. thanks. hey, luca, talk to me a second. man, we've known each other like 16 years now. mikey, don't start this shit, man. -i ain't letting you go. eddie'd kill me and my baby girl. i know, i'm not asking you to do that. i understand. it's just this, this not knowing. -i just... not knowing what? have you seen his face? he said he killed his brother. he's never gonna give up. -even if jp pays, he's gonna kill me, right? mikey, man, i gotta go. no, look, i can't change anything. i can't do anything about it. just... -i just... i need to know. he's gonna kill, me and jp, after he gets the money, isn't he? is he? yeah. -tomorrow. five pm. we'llcallyou 15minutesbefore. you come with cops, he's dead. i'll have the money by then. -wait, put him on the phone. i wanna talk to him. if he's alive i wanna hear his voice. otherwise the deal's off. we'll call you back. -i know that jp and i didn't go to church when we were kids, but we didn't know any better. i know that i'm still alive, for some reason. so if you, help me get outta this, i promise i will go to church with lizzie, jp... i'll get my little girl an education. -i'll keep trying. you hear about that little boy in jackson? yeah, his genius parents poured drano in an old soda pop bottle, the boy found it, drank it, guess what happened to him? burned his esophagus. started gagging. -puked up black blood and bits of his stomach. he vomited so hard his eyes hemorrhaged, and his stomach actually dissolved. you tell jp not to pay, or you say anything wrong, this is all going down your throat. jp. mikey? -are you okay? yeah, i'm fine. hey,listen, igotthemoney,okay . did they fucking hurt you again? don't worry about me. -everything's gonna be all right. just pay him and when this is over we'll go play some video games. on me. yeah, okay. alright, that's enough. -video games? you were always a pussy. why would he say that? what did he say? video games. -he's trying to tell me something. like what? you sure you wanna do this? no. i'm still stuck on this arcade thing. -i don't think that meant anything, man. he said, "on me." where does that lead you? mikey used to always go to an arcade after school. and he'd throw quarters to his friends sometimes to, but he never gave me any. -except this one time. when my uncle rich killed himself. came home from school and he'd shot himself in the face. mikey he didn't want me to see, so he gave me some quarters, told me to go to the arcade. alright, so, what does that mean? -i don't know. i think he's trying to tell me, something bad is gonna happen. like they're gonna kill him anyways, just stay away. fucking a, they're gonna kill you both. mikey, fuck. -fuck, fuck, fuck. eddie. mikey got out of his chair. he's... look, he's passed out right now, but he stabbed me a bunch of times, man. -i'm bleeding pretty bad. okay, okay, yeah, yeah. i'll tie him back up. yeah. money in a suitcase. -bring it to 4150 south street. therewillbe aphonethere waitingthereforyou inwendy'sbag. i'll tell you where to go next. if we think you're coming with cops, we'll fucking shoot you. i wanna talk to him one more time. -no more stalling. put him on the phone. we already gave you proof of life. it's time to make the trade. fuck you, put him on the phone. -you're worried about getting stabbed by a little scrub, meanwhile $350,000 almost walks out the fucking door. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. what do we do now? -what do we do? we raise the stakes. don't talk, bitch. drive. come on. -dad, what's going on? alexis? alexis? see what you made me do, mikey? if you'd just stayed in that chair, none of this would have had to happen. -you're a dead man, you mother fucker. you're a fucking dead man. alexis. no, no, no, let me go! it will be alright. -everything's going to be alright. jp lindell. i work for eddie king. mister king would like to have lunch with you today. yeah, what the fuck does eddie want to see me about? -he has a solution to your problem. ronnie's barbecue. 1:00. that's why it's lunch at a public place. see, he knows you can't touch him there. -i'm gonna fucking kill him. and you're gonna get life. you can't do shit. what does he want? how the fuck should i know? -just like you can't touch him, he can't touch you. not at ronnie's. fuck. hey, you made it. come on. -it's time to settle this. you need to take this opportunity now to free your brother, once and for all. 'cause he ain't gonna make it if you don't. fuck you, eddie. uncle eddie, and there's no reason for that kinda talk. -didn't your mom teach you boys to speak with distinction? now i'm here because a long time ago, your brother and i were friends. you were never friends. you used him up. you fucked the bulk of his life before he had a chance to live it. -what do you want? well, i heard about what happened from some cops, who all said to pay that money, the 350 large. you're worth a lot of money, jp. you probably owe some of that to your brother for making sure you stayed on track. yeah. -i do. what the fuck do you want? well, your brother owes me his life. i made him, he made you. so i figure you owe me. -are you fucking kidding me? well, with that kinda money, you should pay some respects. some tribute. you want me to just hand over $350,000. two hundred and we'll call it even. -go fuck yourself, i don't owe you shit. you know the secret to making a great bloody mary? you gotta have the right amount of worcestershire to the right amount of celery. jp, have you seen your niece recently? what did you say? -yeah, your junkie niece, what was her name? alexis? i heard she went missing. you know with mikey tied up, you're probably the only thing that girl's got to a father. so you might wanna look into where she is. -what the fuck are you telling me? maybe check with her junkie friends. not that i wanna tell you how to conduct your business but she is a pretty little girl. a little trashy for my tastes. a little young. -no, actually, she's a good age. are you threatening to hurt my niece you fucking piece of shit? no. i'm just encouraging you to find where she is. the street's a dangerous place. -alright, look, i'll be at the back of bones billiards tonight. you ask for luca at the back door. and you make sure that you bring the money, that your brother owes me, and then you will fix this. alright, now i'm not hungry but lunch is on me. alexis, it's your uncle, jp. -you gotta call me, okay. as soon as you can, i'm really worried about you. please, please call me. vicki! alexis! -vicki?

i'm looking for work. i'm sorry. that's not possible. -right, you think i'm not good enough for a place like this? it isn't about that. it's about us, about what happened. you know that. sam, please. -i've got nothing. you shouldn't have come here. i think you and i may have something to talk about. if you fall, make sure you land on your head. the preparations for this evening are nearly complete. -hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised. what about my speech? your speech? well, i am the owner of the hotel. i assume i'll be making some sort of address. -yes, of course. why not ask the american to write it? apparently, he's rather popular on the wireless. sorry, it's... it's work. -but i thought they'd cleared you of any wrongdoing. they've allowed me to continue, but they're watching me very closely. will you smile, please? you have a lovely smile and i never see it any more. toby. -is it mr. d'abberville that's bothering you? yes. yes, it is. look, what do you really know about him? why is he here? -what does he do? listen, mr. d'abberville is not going to try and replace your father. no, no, no, i don't mean that. lucian! will you please reassure my son? -he has his doubts about you. no! well, that's all right. sometimes i have doubts about me. well, toby, what about you and i have drink and a chat later on? -about four o'clock? i'm sure we can find one or two things to talk about. looking good. mr. klein, a word. despite difficult personal circumstances and a rocky start, you've excelled. -which is why i'm giving you the rest of the week off. i'm happy to keep working, sir. i thought you might want to spend some time with your family. we've managed to track them down to an internment camp outside liverpool. they're on the train to london now. -when are they arriving here? this evening. mr. garland... one day i will repay you for this. that's not necessary. i'm just glad we could help. -thank you. going soft, you are. you never would've given him time off before. maybe i'm just getting caught up in the anniversary celebrations. are you coming this evening? -i didn't know staff were invited. apparently, i'm not as strict as i used to be. you... you could be my guest. well, i'd like that. -thank you. toby. toby. he's making you work for him, isn't he? toby, you need to find a way out. -if it wasn't for you, i wouldn't be in this bloody situation! i know. look, i can't change what happened, but you can't let him do this to you. and who's gonna help me? you? -you can't do this alone. anything you tell me... will be in the strictest of confidence. i am being... i am being blackmailed... by... erm, by mr. d'abberville. what does he want? -money? he wants certain classified... documents. information. he's working with the germans? -toby, we must inform the authorities. it's... not that simple. he found out about certain aspects of my private life... and who i choose to spend them with. does he have evidence? i'm not sure, but he knows. -well, knowing isn't everything. so this is why there were leaks coming from your admiralty department. then the authorities are out of the question. you're already implicated and the word treason does lead us down a particularly ugly road. -i don't know what to do. blackmail... relies on the recipient being too scared to act against it. but you came to me. i will deal with our mr. d'abberville. no, there. -thank you. hello, mr. garland. mr. d'abberville. i was just thinking, you've been here five months, it seems we've barely spoken. well, i always thought you rather disapproved of me. -disapprove is far too gentle a word. i know about the blackmail. i know about toby hamilton. and if you think you can act this way without consequence in my hotel... you're not going to do a thing. -on that you are very much mistaken. i know who you are... sergeant green. and i know what you did. in the forest at villers cotterets. -whatever information... you may think you have... no, the game is over. sam. the pieces are already off the board. -now, if you insist on continuing, then you give me no choice but to... expose you. you seem to be forgetting toby. i think we both know toby's not gonna go to the police. lady hamilton... lady hamilton already believes her son has got an unreasonable vendetta against me. -and as for you, well, we all know what her ladyship thinks about mr. garland. whatever move you make... you lose. so, swallow your pride, do nothing and stay out of my way. it's only for another day. you've built yourself a nice life here. -and for your daughter. don't let it go to waste. so, what happened? i'm working on it. but you spoke to him? -it isn't a simple situation, toby. what happened? mr. d'abberville finds himself in a position of strength. the wrong move could ruin a lot of lives. so you're just... -you're going to do nothing? no. no. there is still one more option. wait. -when did you kiss him? can you say it a bit louder? some of the staff didn't hear. the other day after dinner. that's good. -is it good? it is. sort of. but it's joe o'hara, so... it's almost as though he's deliberately holding back. -this has nothing to do with freddie? no. well, i don't know, maybe. hotel's on fire, you can only save one of them. who do you choose? -i can't answer that. you spent a long time loving freddie. that won't just disappear. i've also seen the way you look at joe. and if he's serious, he'll show it. -that's how it is with you and sonny? he's told you he loves you? he said he felt it since the day we met. and you've told him, too? this isn't about me, garland. -hell, there's a war on. choose them both! i need to speak to you about mr. d'abberville. i believe he has not been entirely honest about his reasons for being here. what reasons are these? -his continued presence in the hotel is purely to obtain official secrets and sell them on to the germans. is that really the best you could come up with? why do you think toby is so suspicious of him? toby thinks mr. d'abberville is trying to replace his father. with all due respect, does that really sound like something that would trouble toby? -why do you think special branch targeted the hotel? mr. d'abberville has helped us. mr. d'abberville is leaving. possibly today. if not, tomorrow. -and do you have any evidence to back up these ludicrous claims? your ladyship, no matter what you may think of me, you know i would not stand here and lie to you. you've been lying to me for years! covering up for my husband. offering me tea in the atrium while he was up here carrying on with his mistresses. -you forget your place, mr. garland. you're not welcome here. demanded brazil nuts. it's true. what are you doing, mr. o'hara? -i am composing a speech for your mother. feel free to throw in your two cents. no, i didn't mean about the writing, i meant about her. her being... emma. -we're having that conversation? yes, we are. well, then, in the politest way possible, your lordship, it's none of your goddamn business. and what if i disagree with that? -fine. i'll make it simple. are you in love with her? i refer the honourable gentleman to my previous answer. if you say you are, i'll walk away. -you broke her heart once before. do you really think she wants to go through that again? you've not answered the question. that's because i'm not staff. you say jump and my feet stay on the ground. -or maybe you don't want to answer it because you don't want to admit the truth. you step down, kid. that you love her but you know that's not enough. i said step down! because you know she'll never feel the same about you. -goddammit! what on earth are you doing? i kind of owed him that. i think mr. o'hara objects to me being near you. for goodness' sakes, both of you! -i'm at work. mr. o'hara, you need to leave. i guess i was all wrapped up here, anyway. i'm telling you this as a manager after you struck the owner of this place. that's all. -this isn't personal, joe. emma... never mind. enjoy your party. i've been thinking. -and... i could go to the police. and what will you tell them? that you stole from me? yes. -exactly that. they don't need to know about you and me. do you realise what will happen to you? i have to make things right, no matter what the cost. do you really think they'll believe you? -a cocktail waiter? mr. d'abberville will deny it and you'll be laughed out of the station, a deranged fantasist. toby. it's mr. hamilton. and i know what you're doing. -you think that if you do this, that i will somehow forgive you. i'm not doing this to change your mind. good. cos it wouldn't work. when i think about what we did, i'm disgusted at myself. -toby, i love you. how dare you say that? you want to do me a favour? you want to help? get out. -disappear. there is no place for you here and there never will be. as you wish... mr. hamilton. i want to leave a surprise for mr. d'abberville. -very good, your ladyship. thank you. mr. d'abberville. thank you for being here, toby. i do realise this is a very tricky situation. -but at least it's... coming to an end. i'm not going to help you. do you really want the world to know the truth about you? think of what it'll do to your family and, well, your life. -thousands of people risk their lives every day for this country, my brother amongst them. my future is nothing compared to that. that's very moving. i'm sure special branch will be equally touched when they hear about it. well, i suppose we'll find out. -i've already telephoned them. you stupid child. you stupid child! priscilla. an explanation. -for the tickets, the passports. it's a complicated situation. i didn't want to worry you. worry me? it's just a bit of business i've been doing. -the ticket is provisional, in case i have to attend to it at short notice. and the passports, i mean, that's prudence. bearing in mind the times we're living in. they say the truth and lies sound different. but they don't, do they? -priscilla... you're being emotional. no. not yet. darling, let's just put them away. is it true about the... documents? -the germans? what? look, i don't know what toby's been saying to you, but he... he has his own problems. it wasn't toby. it was garland. -well, mr. garland isn't quite what he claims to be. come on, just give me what is mine and we'll talk. was any of it true? any of it at all? answer me! -look, i didn't intend... for things to move so fast. but you were so starved of attention and affection, it... i loved you in my own way. no. -no! that was my way out! this isn't something i'm gonna let you walk away from. no, you... you put the phone down, priscilla. -put the phone down! take your hands off me! you are gonna be quiet! and you are going to listen to me. now, i am walking out of here and you will not do a thing. -and do you know why? because of toby! agh! even if you continue to wilfully ignore the sordid details of your son's wretched private life... he's still a traitor. and you know the penalty for treason. -and if i go down, priscilla, that boy is going with me! we will hang together by our bloody necks! no! no! he was very... angry. -he... he threatened my children. we must keep the door locked. tell housekeeping it's off-limits. far too busy downstairs to attempt to move the body now. were you hurt? -i didn't mean to do it. i'm sorry. please help me. i'm sorry. please. -i know. does anyone else know you're here? er, from housekeeping, the irish girl. i can't... i can't remember her name, but... -she won't be a problem. but you can't remain here. you must return to your room and prepare yourself for the party. no, i can't possibly go to the party! your presence is expected! -you must not raise any suspicions. you may feel nauseous. short of breath. that will pass. the main thing is... -to act as if everything is normal. everything is very far from normal. leave this with me, your ladyship. mr. garland. he said that... you're not who you claim to be. -i expect mr. d'abberville said a lot of things that have no merit. please. you need to go. why are you helping me? because you asked. -thank you. you ready? yes, mr. robbie. i'm ready. papa! -i've been thinking about the past few months. i know i can be difficult, trouble. if you've... if you've got regrets or want to run for the hills, i'll understand. -there's only one place i'm going to be and that's right by your side. good. cos i... i love you. can you say that again, please? -you heard me perfectly fine, mr. sullivan. ladies and gentlemen, tonight sees 50 glorious years of the halcyon hotel, but, but, but... we all know a party isn't a party without miss betsey day! i'll send it back up. yes, sir. what exactly did you say to mr. o'hara that made him punch you? -i'm not so sure if it's what i said or... what was unsaid. and that would be? that i made a mistake... in letting you go. that i love you. and i want you back. -and what if it's too late for that now? i'm fairly sure it's too late, but... i couldn't live with myself if i didn't at least try. after you. hello? -"mr. d'abberville?" no, it's mr. garland. "special branch have arrived. apparently they're very keen to speak to mr. d'abberville." he's not here, i'm afraid. -they were most insistent, said they'd received a tip-off. they're already on their way up to his room. thank you, wilfred. gentlemen. how can i help? -we're looking for mr. d'abberville. as am i. he's run up quite the bill and seems to have vanished. would you mind if we check his room, just to see with our own eyes? i'm afraid that's against hotel policy. -the privacy of our guests is of the utmost importance. i wasn't really asking, mr. garland. yes. i did find... this. 7:30 euston to liverpool lime street. -we'll have someone waiting for him at the other end, just in case. sir. anything else i can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. you're not a bad liar, mr. garland. but i'm fairly certain you are hiding something. -lady hamilton was... romantically involved with mr. d'abberville. we believe he was intent on taking a substantial sum of money from her. it is, as you can imagine... a very embarrassing situation. and her husband barely cold in the grave. we'll be in touch, mr. garland. -tom, have the police been to the hotel at all? not that i know of. mr. hamilton. sorry. i've got a letter here for you. -it's from mr. joshi. tom, when did he give this to you? a few hours ago. well done. peggy! -richard. you remember my husband, jim. yes, of course. jim got given leave last minute. just in time for the party. -glad to get out of the house. well, i hope you both have a wonderful evening. five minutes then we move the party to the shelter. i'll head upstairs and start gathering guests. too much to expect one night off. -you know that sound. we've gotta move out. but just time for one last song. one, two, three, four. for a lady... who turns 50 years old today. -the halcyon hotel! the stories these walls could tell. the people who fell in love. the people who fell out. the joy. -the heartbreak. the good times and the bad. i thought i told you to leave. so raise your glasses and give a cheer to 50 golden years! emma. -i was wrong. emma. emma! are you all right? are you hurt? -no. i don't think so, no. the stairs have collapsed. it's bloody chaos. get everyone outside. -you, too. no, i want to help! i will not risk you. mr. o'hara? i'll see her out. -come on. we need to get as many as possible out of the bar. don't worry, we'll do what we can. which way? right, come on! -round to the left! don't stop till you get outside! go! round to the left! quick as you can! -don't stop till you're outside! that's it. this way. adil! adil! -adil! adil! emma's outside. she's fine. mr. garland, my mother. -she's safe. i will attend to her. but there may be guests trapped or injured on the first floor. we'll go. come on. -come on! i didn't mean it. i didn't mean it. i love you! come on! -come on! god, i thought i'd lost you. hello? in here, robbie! skinner. -can you cope? yes. lean on me. this way. you'll be all right. -william, check that back corridor! yes, mr. reynolds! keep moving. that's it. thank you. -max? max! robbie? right, get your family and yourself outside now! where are you going? -there's still people trapped. wait. i'll make sure they're safe. thank you. what did you say? -i said these people here were family too. keep moving to the exit. quickly now! put your hand here. there you go. -go to him. you won't be able to get in his room! i need to see for myself! the bomb damage is mainly to the left wing. mr. d'abberville's room is gone. -what if someone finds out what we did? they won't. you don't know that! you're right, i don't. if we don't leave now, we'll never get out. -your ladyship! you shouldn't have come back for me. probably not. lead the way, mr. garland. miss day? -miss day, are you all right? sonny got me out. and then he went back in. but he's not... i can't see him. -i can't see him anywhere. betsey! betsey?

-fireworks? what's going on? what's that? e explosions? -confirm the situation. yes, sir! what was all that about? huh? the security's switched off. -what? hurry and check! yes, sir! the 2nd floor gallimard painting! what? -! inspector! the fireworks at the next building were launched using a timer. i see. it was a prank after all. -but why do something so elaborate? shitara-san! there's a report from the tokyo empire museum! what? through here! -the gallimard painting exhibited here has vanished. what's this? i've taken the treasure "i've taken the treasure, lupin the 3rd"? lupin? -lupin the 3rd? d disaster! he's here. he was missing, so... -ambulance! yes, sir! the international phantom thief lupin the 3rd has finally reappeared. he stole a gallimard painting worth 1.5 billion yen from the tokyo empire museum... -security guard hattori takashi-san interrupted his escape, and was apparently killed in the struggle. the mpd have released a warrant for lupin the 3rd's arrest on suspicion of hattori-san's murder, and a nationwide manhunt has begun. metropolitan police hq lupin the 3rd has finally reappeared in japan. as you know, lupin the 3rd is an international master thief. -mpd division 1 superintendent jogasaki hitoshi however, there are no photographs of him and we have no knowledge of his real face. this time, he sent a bomb threat to the ueno tower building so security would be relaxed in the neighbouring museum. he then entered using the pin key, distracted the guards with fireworks, and cut off the security. -during that time, he stole a gallimard painting worth 1.5 billion yen. but while making his escape he encountered security guard hattori takashi-san, and killed him in a struggle. the surveillance footage is fragmentary but records lupin's movements. above all, we must catch him. this despicable criminal, lupin the 3rd! -you're making a big mistake. this troublemaker... who's that? dunno. who are you? -my name is inspector zenigata, of the international police. mpd international investigator zenigata koichi inspector zenigata? ! -ah~ that's you. i've heard rumours. what brings you here? what "big mistake"? where there is lupin the 3rd, there is zenigata! -however this is not lupin's crime. oh? what makes you think that? the culprit this time killed someone. lupin is certainly a thief, but he'd never commit such a senseless murder. -i see. but even lupin, confused by the guard's sudden appearance, might kill... i have... i have devoted my life as a detective to arresting that man. -outrageously distracting the guards with fireworks. that is certainly like lupin. but it's only "like" him. that it reached the point of murder is evidence this wasn't lupin's work. i see. -you're a full-time lupin investigator. i don't know for sure, since you're often overseas, but from what i hear i seems lupin has escaped you every single time. well~ i won't deny that. lupin is a formidable opponent. -but this case has nothing to do with lupin. i can smell it... the stench of a rogue using lupin's name. we can't let him get away with that! right, everyone? -! shall we throw him out, sir? in that case, i'll let you conduct your own investigation. thank you very much. -you'll need subordinates. kunikida, sakuraba. yes, sir. yes, sir. -please support the superb inspector zenigata's investigation. we will! ah... okay. i'll expect great things. -catch the true culprit, who isn't lupin. i understand. we'll be sure to catch this villain. leave everything to me, zenigata! this man is zenigata koichi, a famous detective who risks his life to arrest lupin the 3rd. -he's a stubborn, honest man who won't forgive evil. what? you already knew that? but i wonder if you know what he gets up to when he's not chasing lupin? it seems he charges in and solves cases in his own way. -shall i show you? this is a story of lupin the 3rd's eternal rival, the lovable inspector zenigata. inspector zenigata subtitles by candylemon -are you sure about this? letting zenigata investigate. i've heard he's like a softshell turtle. if i'd refused, he'd have interfered with our investigation. mpd international investigation section -that makes sense. but why did you lend him subordinates? it's fine. kunikida has been a liability since he came here. i've told the other, sakuraba, to report zenigata's movements to me. -she's an excellent detective. i should have guessed. let's go. yes, sir. excuse us. -good work. here goes. what are you so happy about? it's inspector zenigata, isn't it? he also works for interpol, and they said he's a superb detective. -i don't know about that. lupin always escapes from him. i know that, but it's still an honour to work with him. i think we just drew the short straw. where shall we start? -the crime lab already... report. yes, sir. it's here. now, let's investigate the culprit's route from scratch. -everything is written in the report. that's no good. it's meaningless unless i see it for myself. mpd investigative division 1 jogasaki here. -how's it going with zenigata? he's single-mindedly carrying out on-site verification. the culprit entered through here... he stole the painting that was here... 125 by 90. he fought the security guard here. -are these the culprit's footprints? after that, he interviewed the staff and thoroughly checked the cctv footage. ah, stop! show me that again. i see. -listen... is inspector zenigata really superb? judging from your story, there shouldn't be any problems. just let him do what he wants. understood. -in the end, we haven't found anything new. inspector, can we try investigating another angle? if we just stick to the museum... no, we can't do that. why not? -i can't get over this place. i feel like there's something here. really? it's a detective's intuition. eh? -eh? right. how about we try something else? kunikida! yes, sir. -are you confident in your fitness? pardon? ready... start! hurry! -yes, sir! faster! yes, sir! quickly! yes, sir! -don't fall! try again. yes, sir! yes, sir! stop... -thief... that's right, sakuraba. you're the security guard. you block his way and get killed in the fight, and the culprit escapes! move it! -ouch. sorry it's a conditioned reflex. move it! stop... let go... -go. that's it. now, run, kunikida! yes, sir! hurry up! -yes, sir! keep going! which way? this way, idiot! sakuraba, good work. -quickly. yes, sir. almost there. stop! 7 minutes 10 seconds. -let's try it again. 7 minutes 4 seconds. again! run like you're gonna die. 7 minutes precisely. -i'm exhausted. what's going on here? next! okay! mpd judo dojo -next! next! next! next! from the painting being stolen to the culprit's departure took about 5 minutes. -but however many times we tried, kunikida couldn't break 7 minutes. the painting is big and heavy and couldn't be moved quickly. and the culprit didn't just flee, he fought a security guard. so that means... -in other words... as i thought, the culprit wasn't lupin. so that's where you hid it, mitamura. i suspected the culprit was someone from within the museum. how did i know? -because the culprit only took 5 minutes to escape, despite stopping to fight a security guard. we tried it many times but it was utterly impossible. so how was it done? there's just one explanation. the culprit wasn't carrying the painting. -fighting the security guard must have been a miscalculation. that lost you time. aren't you mitamura? ! don't get in my way! -damn it. so you hastily changed your plan, hid the painting and fled. only an insider could do that. in which case, it was simple. the footprints from the struggle with the guard showed the culprit knew judo. -i learned from the interviews you had gambling debts. after that i simply waited for you to show me the hiding place. mitamura eiichi! give yourself up quietly. damn it... -kunikida! ah, yes, sir! i'm arresting you on suspicion of robbery with violence... kunikida-san! damn you~! -move! mitamura eiichi! i'm arresting you on suspicion of robbery with violence! i was right, inspector zenigata is incredible. yes. -oh, here he comes! zenigata-san! are you zenigata-san? you're inspector zenigata, right? yeah, that's me. -the culprit wasn't lupin the 3rd, was it? yeah, he just used lupin's name to throw off the investigation. you solved it brilliantly. please tell us your thoughts. right... -the arrest wasn't all down to me. because the japanese police are excellent. because the japanese police are excellent. from humanity's first day, evil hasn't flourished unopposed. i intend to arrest lupin and ever other villain. -what's he talking about? fine by me. it's his achievement. i don't understand him anymore. i never understood him from the start. -well well well... this is embarrassing. i got a bit worked up there. you were here? you've done well this time. -you were pretty good on tv, too. how about switching to a public relations job? ah... no. i pride myself on working to arrest criminals in the field. -kunikida... sakuraba! he didn't notice the sarcasm. you were a great help. let me reward you. -there's no need... yes! i'll say it again and again. the japanese police are the world's greatest. whatever the villain, we, the police, will arrest them! -the greatest... in that case, i think i'll have a little fun. cheers! cheers! -that's the fifth toast. is that all? who cares, we're celebrating? your reasoning was amazing, inspector. not at all, i was just doing my job. -compared to that, i'm useless. hmm? i couldn't even handcuff him... it's always the same! even though i was assigned to division 1. -don't be like that. it's thanks to your hard work we were able to arrest him. you're the only one saying that. no one else trusts me. that's certainly true. -right? i'm your senpai! um... inspector zenigata. hm? -may i ask you something? what is it? you saw from the start it wasn't lupin's crime, didn't you? yeah. in that case, why did you investigate so frantically to arrest a criminal who wasn't lupin? -whether he was lupin or not didn't matter. he killed someone. can you forgive a rogue who disrespects human life? if we detectives didn't stop him who the hell would? ! -ah, no... i said too much again. well, shall we visit one more place? please. it's a truly refreshing morning. -everyone, let's keep on striving today. i'll leave you in peace. he's so loud from so early. ah, my apologies. good morning. -oh, kunikida! what's that? it's addressed to our department. what is this? a doll? -it's holding something. "people of the greatest police force," "(laughter)" "i invite you to a wonderful quiz show." "mr question". -quiz show? it's just a stupid prank. stinks... this stinks. hello? -did my invitation reach you safely? who are you? now now, before you ask that you should say your own name. that's good manners... i'm zenigata. -ah, i know you! the detective interviewed on tv. i saw that. you're tall and looked cool. what's your name? -my name? it was on the invitation. mr question, huh? ping-pong! correct! -i want a contest with the police. a contest? that's right. i want to match wits with you. you said, didn't you? -that the japanese police are great. so you'll accept, won't you? ridiculous. we don't have time to play games... taran-taraa~ -hey! quiz time. question 1. are you listening? ! -if you put something down, which direction will it be stolen from? when you know, look that way. see you! hey, wait! what was that about? -look it the direction it would be stolen from? a riddle at this time of the morning. it's just nonsense. a direction for stealing... i've got it! -it's the south-east! it's a pun on "theft". (tounan) stop wasting time. the south-east... that way is south, so it's there. -but it doesn't look like anything's happening there. what was that? an explosion? ! what building is that? -! i think it's hibiya square, it's under construction! let's go! yes, sir! squads 1 and 2, mobilise. -cooperate with the local officers. mobilise the explosive ordnance team. send that doll to the crime lab! which way? this way! -okay! go! yes, sir! i'll answer it. hello? -oh? a different voice from earlier? i'm superintendent jogasaki. well, anyone will do. trace the call. -was it you? the explosion at hibiya square. yep! wasn't it fun? what is it you want? -i told you! i want a contest with the police. and with my perfect win, i'll show the world how incompetent the police are. it'll be fun! -now, how about the next quiz question? next? stop playing games! this is no time for a quiz! the show has only just begun. -i've planted more bombs somewhere in tokyo. the precious lives of innocent citizens are in the hands of the incompetent police. now listen here...! taran-taraa~ quiz time. -question 2! there's another one? ! message to all investigators, if we solve the next question the culprit says we'll know which building the next bomb is in. i'll read you the question. -kunikida-san, write it down! okay! i'm your senpai! here goes! in english, inu is dog, usagi is rabbit, and tora is tiger. -so what's kappa?

-that's a point... ah! there! where? ! -there's a big advertisement on the shinagawa coat tower. it's a security company... they call it the raincoat building! i get it... let's go there! -understood. zenigata's group are heading to the shinagawa coat tower. we can't leave it all to them. all nearby investigators should go there. message from the jurisdiction. -hibiya square that was bombed earlier had no construction on today, so no one was hurt. a blessing in disguise. the forensic results should be back soon. right. focus on the residue and type of bomb. -set up investigation hq! 25 minutes left. this is the raincoat building?

-what fruit can be a circle, triangle, square, red, green and yellow? there's no such fruit... there's no such thing. so the answer is pear. nashi? -(=pear/none) that means... there is no answer. there is no disarm code. the culprit didn't want it to be stopped! -no! it can't be stopped! it'll explode in 3 minutes! the bomb can't be disarmed. evacuate all investigators! -yes, sir! evacuate. everybody out! hurry, please hurry. kunikida, hurry! -quickly. this way, this way... help... what's wrong?

-this man fuchigami is the culprit. i don't know if it was accident or suicide, but he's been killed by one of his own bombs. the warehouse was badly burned, so no evidence is left. inspector? it's not him. -what? this isn't mr question. it wasn't this man's voice on the phone. are you sure? but how do you know? -detective's intuition. what? there's something i want you to know. this isn't a public security matter, so what do you want? mpd public security department -abe takahiro we had to move to determine if there was a terrorist organization involved. but it seems not. we received information from a securities company. the 3 buildings where the explosions occurred are all owned by the shinto group. -why are you telling me this? is this the time to worry about that? what will you do, inspector zenigata? so that's it... short selling shares? -! yes, the securities company have made a complaint. the explosions have reduced the value of shinto group shares, and someone has made a huge profit short selling them. i see... what's short selling? -you know, right? short selling of shares is when you borrow shares from a securities companies and sell them, then when the price drops, you buy them back at a profit... i don't get it at all. anyway, it's a stock trading method and not a crime in itself. so who made the money from it? -ozu yuichi, ozu global ink ceo of several related companies. he's been called an industry revolutionary, always cutting into new fields like biotechnology and rocket engineering. this man is involved somehow in today's bombings. it's likely he destroyed the value of shinto group shares in order to make a profit. -he made a profit of 2 billion by short selling. ozu's business genetically modifying corn failed, causing him major losses. these incidents were meant to fill that hole? it's very likely. interview ozu about this. -bring him in for voluntary questioning. sakuraba, let's go. yes, sir. i think i can become a god who's a god? -! this isn't a game. sakuraba and the others are going after ozu. looks like the case is solved. let's go. -huh? it's not solved yet. i'm borrowing this! where are we going? hey! -you're ozu yuichi-san, correct? yes, what of it? we'd like a word with you in relation to today's bombing incidents. i decline. this is voluntary, right? -in that case, i don't have to comply. or do you have a warrant? no... i well know the events you mean. i saw on tv... -truly tragic. but they have nothing to do with me. but... i'm in a hurry. i'm about to leave for singapore. -i'm weary of life in japan. it's easier to do business over there. for 3 years... or perhaps even 5. so that's that. -goodbye. please tell me, inspector, where are we going? if that man ozu was the mastermind, he's a formidable opponent. we need to prepare thoroughly so we won't be at a disadvantage. short selling isn't a crime, so we need evidence that he killed fuchigami. -definitive proof no one can deny. are we going to the warehouse where fuchigami was killed? yeah. but any evidence was destroyed in the blast... superintendent, this is sakuraba. -ozu refused to accompany us. just as i thought. what's he up to now? he's heading to the airport. to fly to singapore. -damn! if he does that, we'll never catch him. regroup and come back. yes, sir. are you giving up? -are you giving up, sakuraba? i don't want to, but right now... if we let him get away like this, he'll commit more crimes and cause more suffering. we exist to eliminate that suffering. i won't give up. -i'll chase any villain to the ends of the earth. inspector zenigata. let's make sure to find that proof. yeah. sakuraba. -we're going back to hq. okay. good work. almost everything inside was destroyed in the explosion. i see. -ah, good work. this is all there is. no clues of any kind. let's do this! yes, sir. -i won't give up. i'll chase any villain to the ends of the earth. do you live here? hmm? that reminds me, we thought the culprit had a cat. -i see. even a villain like that was your master... kunikida! yes, sir. w -what's that? narita international airport this morning, a warehouse in heiwajima, ota ward, was destroyed in an explosion. the body of fuchigami jozaburo, who was arrested 3 years ago for an attempted bombing in minami-shinjuku, was found in the wreckage. fuchigami is also suspected of involvement in the recent serial bombings. -the police are continuing their investigation. hey, mr question. who might you be? if i say zenigata, you'll know. no, i have no police acquaintances... -ah, is this a patrol? good work. i'm in a hurry. i believe you killed fuchigami. you approached fuchigami to make bombs for you. -used them to cause shinto group share prices to crash, and gained huge profits by short selling. then in order to silence fuchigami, you killed him. you said you were challenging the police, but in the end it was about money. and now you're going abroad. good for you, eh? -fuchigami? who's that? i don't know anything about bombs. may i go now? farewell. -let's take revenge on the police together. with your bomb-making skill, we can do it. seems fuchigami was a cautious man. well, after a long spell in prison it's only natural. after you asked him to make bombs, he recorded all your conversations. -are you the one who emailed me? pleased to meet you. my name is ozu. is it true? you said you want me to make bombs. -yes, by all means. i'd like to borrow your power. is that so? let's take revenge on the police together. with your bomb-making skill, we can do it. -was it insurance in case something happened, or did he plan to blackmail you? we can't know his true intentions now. the explosion destroyed the warehouse, but this evidence remained. w what's that? -it's a memory card. there might be something on it. let's take revenge on the police together. definitive proof you were involved in the bombings. do you get it now, ozu? -! this is why i hated it. asking help from a moron who could only make bombs. nothing but a worm, but he played games with me. kunikida! -yes, sir! ozu! you go that way! yes, sir! are you okay? -what happened? a man suddenly bumped into me. where did he go? ! t -that way... thank you! kunikida here. ozu fled to the terminal 2 car park. the terminal 2 car park. -i'll be right there! ozu! you can't run anymore! give yourself up...quietly! honestly... -who do you think you're talking to? "you can't run anymore", "give yourself up quietly". ozu! kunikida... -kunikida! argh, damn it! i was bored, so i made a quiz. well, i enjoyed it more than i expected. even so, i still don't get it. -why do i have to be chased? ! i was working on the genetic manipulation of corn to solve the problem of world hunger. it could potentially save many lives. if i can raise the funds, -i can relaunch the business. so that means... it will be of great benefit to humanity! so i can't afford to let the police catch me here. well, i have to rush. -let go. i said let go! i won't. e even if i die, i won't let go. -i won't give up. i'll chase any villain to the ends of the earth. i won't give up... i...won't give up. let go! -i won't... ozu~! inspector zenigata... good work, kunikida. it's my turn now. -here to avenge your subordinate? how noble of you. from that muscular stride, i take it you're skilled at judo. in which case... if you grab me i'm in trouble. -ozu~! inspector zenigata... you've done well. but you've reached your limit. how about giving up? -no... i'm a detective. i live to capture villains like you. and yet you keep saying stupid things. stupid things? -your work will benefit humanity? you'll save many lives? yes. i simply stated a fact. and yet...you're a criminal who killed a human being. -you have no right to talk about life. life is a much more incredibly significant thing! life is significant? he was a demon bomber with a criminal record... his life was cheap! -this is why stubborn people are a nuisance. open your mind! look at the bigger picture! this ends here. ozu~! -ozu yuichi! i'm arresting you for homicide and the use of explosives! good work, sakuraba! i... i hate giving up, too. -is that so? that's the junior i'm proud of. what are you talking about? the police have arrested ozu yuichi, a company manager, in connection with the bombing incidents earlier today. ozu is suspected of planting explosives in shinto group buildings and a warehouse in ota... -good morning. good morning. good morning. good morning. impressive work solving the case. -thank you. however, your sense of justice is too extreme for me. excuse me, but... we may work together sometime. my regards in advance for then. -yeah... ouch! are you okay? i cut the inside of my mouth. it's an honourable injury, though. -blowing your own trumpet? good morning. good morning. good morning. morning. -looking good. good morning. zenigata-kun... you did well this time. not at all... -you're an excellent detective. it's a waste for you to confine yourself to japan. how about it? why not take a recruitment test for the cia or fbi? i deeply appreciate the thought. -however, i'm prepared to bury myself in my beloved japan for my beloved mpd. he really doesn't notice sarcasm. well then, everyone, let's keep on striving today. big trouble! inspector zenigata, -lupin has sent a notice. what? ! where to? ! -he plans to steal jewels belonging to the italian royal family. superintendent! i have to leave japan for a while. go ahead! don't bother coming back... -everyone... farewell. i wish i could go with him. me too. just you wait, lupin. -i'll get you this time! you live near here?

-guys always want you back when they know you're doing good without them. my life. i'm one of the best lawyers they have, but i can't just roll up to the partners and, "so i accidentally noticed that you're paying this white man more than me." lawrence isn't coming. -i thought you said you didn't want him back. of course i want my man back! you said you had some of my mail. y'all fucked? damn, why your voice got so much bass in it? -so, who initiated the sex? him, basically. have y'all spoken since? yeah. no. -it's unclear. bitch, are you a magic 8 ball? what that mean? i texted him twice, and once he responded "sure" with no punctuation, and the other time, two hours later, he responded "yep" with a period. issa, that's not even a question. -it's not even open-ended. stop! and then you sent this one during rush hour? man, you know lawrence is a safe driver. maybe he hasn't gotten back to me yet because he's trying to organize his feelings. -right? do guys do that? nigga, i don't know. issa, put the cookie down. okay. -how you feeling? malibu. malibu? i'm fucking confused. like, how i'm supposed to know what that meant? -how? okay, okay. what kind of fuck was it? i mean, was it like a "we back together" fuck or a "fuck you" fuck? i don't know. -it was a nebulous fuck. a'ight, well, maybe lawrence just needs some more time. i hope so. but it's gotta mean something good, though, right? yeah. -mm-hmm. wait a minute. did you and lawrence fuck on this couch? this... i have way more billable hours than travis. -i'm on the partner track. i'm always working late. i'm always on all the firm's volunteer shit. like, i built some family a house. i thought i was killing it. -i just... keep going. you know what? it doesn't even matter. i get it... -it's an all-boys club, and whatever i got to do to get in, i'll just figure it out. and then it should be fine. you say that a lot... "should." you frame a lot of things in your life with "should." -have you noticed that? no. two weeks ago, you said, "things should be easier for me as a successful black woman." and another time you said, -"things should've fallen into place by now." is there a certain way you think your life should go? oh, well, i mean, i do have specific life goals, and i think that if you work hard, then it sh... ought to yield certain results. there's a medical term called "magical thinking." when we believe what we want can influence the external world as opposed to accepting things as they are. -i'm confused. i don't see how me trying to break through at work connects to any of these things. listen, molly, i know as black women it can feel like there's a lot of things stacked against us. we feel invisible at work, we feel the need to have the perfect relationship. it's a lot. -but if your shoulds didn't come to fruition, would you be open to your life looking a different way? it's just something for you to think about. yeah. so, the same time next week? um, i'll call you. -girl, your party was so much fun! i haven't been saturday drunk on a thursday in, like, a week. yeah, it was basically perfect, except for the part where half my place burned down. well, can't nobody say your party wasn't lit.

-yeah, i could eat. (narrator:) it seems like diane holik has it all. (mcclendon:) she had an incredible job. she had a beautiful home. diane was one of these people that when she walked into a room, the whole room lit up. -(narrator:) and when she sets her heart on marriage, she soon has a sparkling diamond ring. (mcclendon:) he knew that she was the prize. she was beautiful, well-traveled, educated. she had everything. (narrator:) but one dark night, evil enters diane's life. -we've never seen a case like this in austin. it kind of threw the city upside-down. (narrator:) now police must investigate diane's network of friends and acquaintances to figure out who could have harmed this well-loved woman. the manner in which diane was killed and the terror that she must have faced, we wanted whoever did it to pay for it. -this was probably the most difficult case i've ever worked. (narrator:) austin, texas, 2001. 43-year-old diane holik is the life of the party anywhere she goes. we could go to elegant restaurants and be all dressed up, or we could go put our jeans and boots on and go country dancing. ladies! -anywhere she was, you wanted to be around her. nightcap, anyone? (lepore:) diane had a zest for life far beyond anybody i ever knew. she wanted to taste every fish she caught. she wanted to catch every fish she ate. -(narrator:) an executive with ibm, diane has had to move around the country for work. when she settles in austin in 1996, the 38-year-old decides it's time to put down roots. austin, texas, was a great place for single people... the dancing, the traveling, running along the lake, all the things that she just loved doing. -(narrator:) diane buys a beautiful house with a pool in an upscale neighborhood and fills it with her friends. hey, gorgeous. hey. how can i be of use? when one of her coworkers, ray chancy, falls under her spell, he becomes part of her intimate circle, someone she relies on. -listen, i just heard you're going to be out of town next week? i am. if you need someone to walk the puppies, feed the puppies, water the plants, no problem. thank you so much. no problem. -diane traveled a lot for work, and she loved her two dogs. he would often go over and take care of the dogs for her. all right. let's go. (lepore:) he would also take care and check the house, empty the garbage or if diane needed something done while she was traveling. -i-i'm not sure she realized how much he cared about her. (narrator:) her friends are all surprised when diane, who is fiercely independent, joins a dating service. they're even more surprised when she immediately meets a divorced software executive from houston named dennis conley. dennis was ready to settle down and was looking for that other perfect half. you didn't! -so good. hold up. i have something for you. he bought her things. they just were the perfect couple. -i love you. (narrator:) within two months of meeting diane, dennis pops the question. (lepore:) i remember the night she came to tell us. she just jumped up in the air, screamed bloody murder, and said, "i'm engaged," was so excited to show her hand. -the ring was absolutely beautiful. she was proud, proud, proud of it. she never took it off. (narrator:) of course, marriage brings compromise, and in diane's case, that means pulling up her austin roots to be with dennis. (mcclendon:) the plan was for her to move to houston, and because she worked out of her home, she could really be anywhere. -the first thing diane did when she got engaged was to start getting the house ready for sale. (narrator:) now the only thing holding up their marriage is a sluggish real-estate market. the market was kind of slow back then. there were a lot of homes for sale in the neighborhood at the time, and they weren't moving very fast. (narrator:) but diane is confident her house will sell. -she hires a neighbor to be her realtor, feeling the close proximity will work to her advantage. i'm on my way to houston. all is going according to plan until thursday, november 15, 2001. (lepore:) we had about 15 inches of rain probably within a 2- or 3-hour period. we had massive flooding, winds, tornados not too far from us, so it was a really, really bad, stormy day. -(cooper:) diane was at home, alone, but she stayed in. she wasn't going to go anywhere in that storm. she was very much afraid of the storm. (narrator:) the next day dawns gray and damp. no one's heard from diane. -at 10 a.m., she misses a scheduled conference call at work. four hours later, there is still no word from her. (lepore:) for diane not to call in for her meeting was very surprising. people started to call and say, "diane, are you there?" hi. you've reached diane holik. -please leave a message, and i'll get back to you as soon as i can. (woman:) hi, diane. it's 2:00. just worried about you, wanted to check and make sure you're okay. one of her coworkers is afraid that something might have happened to diane, so she wanted the police department to go by and just check on her to make sure that she was okay. -(narrator:) in the wake of the storm, her coworker's concern seems reasonable, and police head over to diane's upscale neighborhood. when the patrol officers arrived at diane's home, they noticed that there was a for-sale sign in the front yard. they did not see any people in the house. everything seemed to be secured. do you see any movement in there? -no. just some dogs. let's go around back, check the back out. (gerrish:) they walked around the house to see if the back door was open, but all the windows were secure. all the doors were secure. -austin pd, open up. (narrator:) diane's realtor neighbor sees the police at the house and walks over. hearing their concern, she lets them in with her key. i know some weekends, she goes to houston to see her boyfriend, but you're more than welcome to walk around. there didn't seem to be anything missing from the house. -austin pd, is anyone home? there wasn't a sign of a struggle. ma'am, when was the last time you saw the homeowner? just a couple days ago. nothing seemed to be out of place. -the officers couldn't find anything that looked suspicious when they first looked around the first floor of her home. we're going to take a look upstairs before we go. go ahead, officers. (gerrish:) so the officers went upstairs, and they did a full sweep of the upstairs. they looked in all the bedrooms, turned on all the lights, checked the gym room. -anything? nothing. what about you? nada. (narrator:) just like downstairs, nothing is out of place, but one officer has a hunch. -wait. give me one second. let me just check this room one more time. (de los santos:) the officer says, "i better check the other side of that bed," -'cause he wasn't able to see both sides, so he walked to the other side of the bed, and then that's when he saw that the bedspread seemed to be covering something. i think we need an e.m.t. call it in. this is 631. we have a 1054, 1054. victim is unresponsive. -this woman matched the description of diane holik. she had been strangled. it was gruesome. it was brutal. it was obvious that she died a very violent death. -(narrator:) diane holik was reported missing by her coworkers after staying home during a devastating storm. tragically, police have just found her body wrapped in a comforter under a bed in her otherwise immaculate house. homicide detectives tracy gerrish and eric de los santos arrive on the scene and quickly realize this murder may be difficult to solve. is that what we got? white female, ligature mark on the neck. -somebody apparently placed her here. what we had was a mystery, going in. there was a white female, deceased, but there was no indications of any forced entry. i mean, everything looks normal. (gerrish:) there was no sign of a struggle. -the area around her body was very clean. her hands were kind of draped in a folding fashion on her waist. it was almost as if she were staged. (narrator:) while diane's cause of death is clear, there's something unusual about her injuries. at first, they see no sign she struggled against being strangled. -(de los santos:) someone tries to choke you with a rope or even with their hands, you're going to naturally want to bring your hands up to remove that ligature, and if it's being done forcibly, you're going to inadvertently maybe scratch yourself on your neck. there was no signs of any defensive marks on diane's neck nor anywhere else on her body. (narrator:) as police continue to examine diane, the terrible truth becomes clear. here's why. -we discovered on diane's wrists these 1/16-of-an-inch markings that almost appeared to be, like, flex cuffs, which is what police use to handcuff people. i think her hands were bound. they're plastic zip ties. that must have been terrifying because she can't fight back. (narrator:) detectives and crime-scene investigators continue a painstaking search for evidence. -we had crime scene fingerprint every door, every toilet, any surface that we thought maybe the killer might touch. (narrator:) but her murderer has been even more thorough. we found nothing. (narrator:) even diane's fingerprints are gone. for us, the main point of that crime scene is to find this person's mistake, and we weren't finding any mistakes. -(narrator:) in the entire house, only one item seems out of place. (de los santos:) there was a towel hanging over the love seat in the living room that's just, like, thrown on there. (davis:) there was some hair that was clinging to the towel. i don't think that's diane's. (narrator:) if it's the killer's, it could be the break detectives were hoping for. -those hairs were taken off of the towel and were examined further. (narrator:) as detectives continue to catalog what scarce evidence they can gather from the scene, they soon rule out robbery as a motive. diane is still wearing jewelry, and her purse contains a wad of cash. (de los santos:) with the no forced entry in this particular case, diane either let this person in or the person had keys to the house and let themselves in. -(narrator:) police now suspect that diane was murdered by someone she knew, so somewhere in diane's network of close friends, coworkers, and acquaintances is a killer. to decipher the complex web of connections, detectives need to speak with diane's inner circle. and that is when we started to find out about dennis conley, her fiancé. (narrator:) and it's not all good. so how long had diane and dennis known each other? -they met last october online. i'm sorry, but there was something about him that didn't sit right. like what? they were fighting a lot. (narrator:) friends tell police that at first, -diane seemed happy with the successful businessman, but not all of her friends felt the same way. so tell us about dennis. what was his relationship with diane like? a bit over-the-top, like he was pushing her. pushing her how? -i don't know, in-into a relationship that... i-i don't think she was ready for. (lepore:) dennis was controlling. dennis didn't like the dogs, and that was very difficult for diane. they were her kids, as far as she was concerned. -dennis didn't like her going out dancing with her friends. diane was afraid that she was going to give up her friends and her independence. (narrator:) in fact, according to her friends, diane had recently begun to question her decision to marry dennis. diane, we talked about this. -we talked about this before moving to houston! i don't know why we need to bring the dogs! why do we need to bring the dogs? yeah, why do we need to bring the dogs? ! -they're like my babies. oh, come on. i'm not leaving them here. are you crazy? there's dog stuff everywhere. -(lepore:) during the week of the murder, she had, in fact, had a fight with dennis, and she had thought about going on a date with someone that she had met. she tried to break up with him, but there was just something that kept them together. she would never take that ring off. (narrator:) lynn's comment gets the attention of detectives de los santos and gerrish. diane wasn't wearing an engagement ring when police found her body. -it's possible that a killer will take a personal piece of jewelry off the body of a victim to keep as a trophy. (narrator:) it's a disturbing conclusion, but if the killer took the ring, he may have left something else behind. so in order to pull that ring off of her finger, he would have had to have grabbed her hand, and there's a possibility that there was a transfer of his dna onto her hand. so we swabbed her hand, and we sent that off to a dna lab. (narrator:) the missing ring just adds to the urgency the police feel about interviewing diane's fiancé, dennis. -he hasn't been told about diane's murder, and he's been leaving alarming messages on her answering machine. the tone of his messages that he was leaving on her answering machine were concerning to me because it appeared that he was quick to anger. if he's the killer, he's setting up his alibi. if he's not the killer, he's genuinely concerned. (narrator:) after police reach him, -dennis makes the 3 1/2-hour drive from houston to austin, and that's when they break the news of diane's death. since he's already a suspect, his interview will be videotaped. i remember her saying, you know, that she loved me and that she would jump at the chance to be in a relationship and marry me. he did not seem like he was that upset about diane's death. he seemed more concerned about himself. -he told me that they were in couples' counseling already. he felt like she didn't allow him to be a man around the house. he liked her independence, but then, he didn't like her independence. we don't fight. it's just, you know, everybody carries baggage into your relationships at this age, and our baggage was clashing. -and we were working on it. (davis:) his behavior raised some red flags that made us want to investigate him further. (narrator:) he tells investigators he last communicated with diane at about 2:00 in the afternoon on thursday, november 15th, the day she died, and she had good news. hello? hey, honey. -(conley:) hi, sweetie. did you sell that house yet? there's somebody who's really interested, so i think it's going to happen. well, maybe this is our lucky day. (gerrish:) diane told him, "keep your fingers crossed. -i think i may have my house sold," and she seemed really excited about that. (narrator:) according to the medical examiner, diane was killed sometime between 3:00 p.m. on thursday, november 15th, and 3:00 a.m. on friday, the 16th. -(gerrish:) dennis' alibi was that he was actually in houston at the time, preparing a presentation to give to his company, and he had stayed up pretty much until 10:00 or 11:00 at night. it was plenty of time for him to drive to austin, commit the murder, and drive back. (narrator:) detectives take dennis' fingerprints and a dna swab and tell him they need to confirm his alibi. there was no evidence that we had that would allow us to detain him. (narrator:) but dennis has his own suspicions. -he tells detectives that he believes he knows who the killer is, someone close to diane who no one else would suspect. has anybody gotten ahold of ray? (narrator:) diane holik has been found murdered in her own home. police have brought her hot-tempered fiancé, dennis conley, in for questioning, but he denies any major problems between them and points a finger at a possible suspect. -he told us that we should be looking at one of diane's coworkers, ray chancy. he said that ray had a bad habit of becoming obsessed with women that were kind of out of his league. (conley:) ray is a very dysfunctional person, from my standpoint, in the fact that he seems to be attracted to women that are not attracted to him. (gerrish:) so you think he, pretty much, is obsessed with her? dennis said that ray was always coming over to diane's house, that he was doing favors for her, running errands for her. -he felt like ray was in love with diane. he would often buy her flowers and gifts, and she did not reciprocate the feelings for ray. dennis said that he thought ray and diane had had some type of a falling out within the last month or so and that ray may still be upset about that. (narrator:) police wonder if dennis is truly being helpful of simply trying to throw them off his trail. if i was a woman, he would give me the creeps. -(de los santos:) if dennis is, indeed, the suspect, he's obviously going to want to deflect the attention from him and place it over to ray. (narrator:) but while dennis remains a serious person of interest, ray is now on detectives' radar, as well. the killer spends a lot of time in the house cleaning up. ray would feel comfortable doing this, since he had obviously been there before. -(narrator:) investigators ask ray to come to the police station. though he says he's shocked by diane's death, he says he's determined to help them solve the case. ray met diane through ibm. she actually hired him and was his boss. so you might have had a little crush on her? -diane? oh, hell, yeah, for sure. he very much loved diane. that was obvious. he said he would spoil her with things, and i think it was because he felt like eventually, she would come around and start to like him as much as he liked her. -(narrator:) but his hopes went unfulfilled. ray admits their friendship never progressed to anything more. i did ask ray if he and diane ever had a sexual relationship, and he said no. not even kissing? never even. -did you want to? always wanted to, but never did. (narrator:) ray is being very open with the cops, but his unrequited love for diane puts them ill at ease. detective gerrish questions him further. there was no forced entry into diane's house, so we knew that the killer was either invited in or they let themselves in with a key. -i asked him if he had a key to her house, and he told me he did. (chancy:) as far as i know, i think i'm the only person that i know that has keys, but dennis, of course, has a key. he's her fiancé. i'm sure he does. -(narrator:) when detectives ask ray about diane's fiancé, dennis, he tells them he didn't approve of him. he would see them arguing a lot. he felt that dennis was easy to anger. he just didn't feel like dennis was the right person for diane. (narrator:) but something about ray's behavior strikes the detectives as odd. -so are you going to ask me? (gerrish:) ray was almost too eager to help us with the investigation. sometimes, when people are super eager to help you, it normally means that they're trying to hide their involvement in something. (narrator:) asked for his whereabouts the night of diane's murder, ray claims he was at work late into the night. -just as they did with dennis, police take his fingerprints and a dna sample and plan to check his alibi. we had to let ray go because we had no, again, hard evidence linking him to the crime scene. (narrator:) three days after diane's murder, the investigation is at a standstill. both dennis and ray have offered up plausible alibis, and since the killer did such a thorough cleaning job, police have very little forensic evidence to check against the fingerprints and dna samples they have taken from each man. they're hoping that dna from the hairs on the towel left in diane's living room will provide some much-needed clues, but they have to wait for the results. -(gerrish:) we're not at the point we would like to be at the investigation. it's very frustrating to not have a piece of evidence that links a suspect to the crime scene. (narrator:) back at square one with their case, detectives decide to retrace their steps and return to the scene. there's something we're missing. why don't we... go back to diane's neighborhood? -yeah. combing the area around diane's house, they notice several other homes for sale. maybe they have something in common with diane that's worth investigating. we didn't find anyone who saw anything or anyone at diane's home during those times. (narrator:) but several women reported encountering a strange man at their door that day. -oh. ma'am. hi. detective santos. detective gerrish. -your house is on the market, yes? yes. anybody come to look? it's funny you should say something. there was a man who came here. -um, he wanted to preview the house, pay cash. he was by himself. i didn't get a good feeling about him. what do you mean? something in his eyes. -i just didn't... i didn't... like the way he looked. honestly, i just wanted to close the door and let him leave. thank you. -thank you. yes, how can i help you? hi, uh, your house is on the market? yes. anybody come by to look at it? -as a matter of fact, yes. a tall guy, dark hair... mm-hmm. slicked back, big nose, very scary-looking. (davis:) and he had told basically the same story to all of these women, that he didn't want to use a realtor and that he wanted to come in and look at the house and preview the homes for his wife. -hi, yeah, i saw the for-sale sign out front. most of the women that interacted with this man said that he was strange. my wife loves this place. i was wondering if i could take a tour. oh, not right now. -thank you. they thought it was strange that he was married but he wasn't with his wife. they thought it was strange that he would just come to their home in the middle of a work day and ask to come into their home. (narrator:) diane had mentioned a possible homebuyer to dennis on the day of her murder. could this be the break the investigation needs? -our first idea was that this man may have been the last person to see diane alive. (narrator:) then, as they canvass homes for sale in the neighborhood, a pattern seems to emerge. all of the women that we talked to had been visited by this man on the day that diane was killed. hi. can i help you? -hi, i was wondering if i could take a tour of the place. (de los santos:) he said he was willing to pay cash, and that was a huge thing at that time in austin because the economy was depressed. so people were eager when a potential buyer came around. (narrator:) even with that cash incentive, many of the women are reluctant to open their door. (davis:) some of them were so creeped out by him that they didn't even let him in the house. -(narrator:) but one woman they talked to did let him in, and she came to regret it. (davis:) christine choate is actually a realtor, so when this man appeared on her doorstep, she felt comfortable letting him in since she was going to show her own home anyway. (narrator:) when the man asked her if she lived alone, she was uneasy, so when he wanted her to show him the upstairs bedroom, she hesitated. she thought that he was trying to lure her upstairs. (narrator:) following her gut instinct, she refused, but not before she got some information the police will find quite valuable. -(davis:) christine choate wrote down this man's contact information. he gave his name as walter miller, and he gave her a phone number. (narrator:) police run the number, but they don't find anyone named walter miller at the other end. (de los santos:) that phone number came back to a matthew sipulski. d.u.i., drugs... -this guy is dirty. looking into sipulski, we learned that he's got some criminal history. this changed the investigation because now we know that there's possibly another man, a stranger that we don't know about who has now been introduced into the mix. in about 72 hours, we have the suspects. we have the fiancé, and we have the coworker possibly obsessed with diane, but, you know, wondering, "is this our guy?" -i think we got ourselves a new suspect. (narrator:) while police are working diligently to solve the murder of diane holik, her family and friends must deal with the painful ordeal of burying her... a heartbreaking task, given the violence of her murder. i can remember driving, and the sun was shining through the clouds. and it really felt to me like diane was reaching down to me, and it was in a very particular way that the sun was shining through, like a hole in the clouds, and every time i see it now, i always think of diane. -i know that she's up there. she liked to look good, so we had her nails done. we had her hair done. we got her makeup. the funeral, she looked quite beautiful. -it was one of the hardest things i think i've done in my life. (narrator:) but while the funeral gives friends some closure, with her murder still unsolved, it is of little comfort. not knowing what had happened to her was like holding your breath underwater and not being able to breathe. (narrator:) the police, however, do have a new lead. by tracing a phone-number tip from a neighbor, they are focusing on matthew sipulski who, it appears, is masquerading as a homebuyer named walter miller in order to gain entry to the homes of single women. -matthew does have a history of family violence and of drug abuse. (narrator:) but when police track him down, they're shocked by what they find. matthew suffered from paralysis in both arms. he had gotten into a car accident and was walking with a cane and had a collar around his neck. (narrator:) just minutes into their interview, looking at sipulski, they know they have the wrong man. -what happened? uh... i screwed up, obviously. he is so handicapped, there is no way that sipulski could have strangled diane or dragged her down a hallway, and surely, the homeowners who reported this mystery man would have mentioned his physical infirmities. matthew sipulski just did not have the physical capability to have committed this crime. -that's all right. you don't need to get up. that's fine. we'll show ourselves out. that's all you want? -thank you. in fact, matthew sipulski is barely capable of walking. police now theorize that the mystery homebuyer gave out a fake name and number that led them to sipulski. but if matthew sipulski isn't the mystery homebuyer, who is? all of the women described him as fairly tall and stocky. -he had a very thick neck. he had a very prominent nose. (gerrish:) based off the descriptions from all the women, we are able to put together a composite sketch. (narrator:) police believe that this man was at diane's house on the day of her murder. he is their strongest suspect so far. -on november 20, 2001, that sketch airs on the evening news. how tall would you say he was? gerrish? within minutes, phones start ringing. uh-huh. -could you give me a description of what he looked like, what he was wearing? we began to receive multiple phone calls from real-estate agents about this man. and how tall would you say he was? none of them knew his real name, but they all had the same story. you let him in the house. -you did? (narrator:) one of them, a realtor named tammy tayman, says the man called her about looking at a listing for a vacant house. (tayman:) i told him i usually meet people at the office. he said he was a cash buyer, he recently sold a ranch, and that he could only look after work. (narrator:) with a depressed real-estate market, -tammy agrees to the meeting, and right from the get-go, his behavior puts the seasoned realtor on edge, much like others have reported. all the alarms were going off for me with this man. he was shifty. he wasn't looking at me. i felt like he was trying to get closer to me. -like, i'd go into a room. he'd walk around. he'd start to come towards me. i'd get away, and he'd get closer. i was just thinking of escape. -how can i get out if something happens? how can i have people hear me? (narrator:) fortunately, tammy is able to steer him out the front door, but she's convinced the man intended her harm. when she heard the story that we put out with the composite, she knew it was the same guy that she had encountered. (narrator:) though tammy tayman doesn't provide the police with any new leads, the next caller does. -no, that's all right, ma'am. just give me your name. (narrator:) johna ramirez says the same man showed up on her doorstep when her house was for sale. she was home alone with a small child. he wanted to come into her home, and he got angry with her at the door when she wouldn't open it. -by any chance, did you see him drive away? did you catch his license plate? you did? johna said that this man made her so uncomfortable that she wrote down his license plate. thank you so much, ma'am. -you've been very helpful. thank you so much. we got a license plate. nice. let's run it. -(narrator:) police trace the license plate to a man named patrick russo, a resident of a small town 30 minutes outside of austin. that was the first time that mr. russo's name had surfaced in this investigation, so they ran him through the computers to see if they can find any information. that's when all the alarms and the bullhorns and everything else went off. multiple assaults of women, he is on parole for aggravated kidnapping. (gerrish:) patrick russo has a pretty shady past. -he had been arrested for multiple assaults on women throughout his career. (narrator:) his rap sheet is a game-changer. once we learned about mr. russo's background, we decided that the most important thing would be to find him as soon as possible. we were fairly confident at this point that this was the man that had killed diane holik. our fear was that based on what we believed he had done in austin, it was only a matter of time until he killed again. -let's go get him. (narrator:) detectives craft an audacious plan to drive to russo's home at 4:00 a.m. and catch him by surprise. austin pd. austin police. -could you open the door, please? (narrator:) in the early-morning hours of november 21, 2001, austin police officers approach the home of patrick anthony russo, the man they suspect of murdering diane holik. austin police. could you open the door, please? -gerrish: when patrick opens the door, we immediately look at each other because he looks very much like the composite sketch. can i help you? your name has come up in an investigation. we're going to need you to come with us. -and much to our surprise, he doesn't seem very surprised that we're there at 4:00 in the morning. (narrator:) back at austin pd, detectives start by talking to russo about his past crimes. patrick russo was actually on parole for an aggravated kidnapping. (narrator:) russo had served eight years in prison for choking a woman, a crime that sounds shockingly similar to the murder of diane holik, except that woman survived. (russo:) i ended up holding the receptionist against her will, and i tied her up. -i tied her hands up. (de los santos:) in front of her, back of her? in back of her. (narrator:) russo confesses because he says that's all in the past. he's changed since becoming a christian in prison. -(davis:) and he started telling them that he was a music minister at a church in bastrop county and that they were just... talking to the wrong person. he was just denying everything. he denied going into anybody's homes. when we threw her picture down in front of him and asked him if he has ever met that woman, he vehemently denied ever seeing or meeting her. -he has asked us, you know, "is somebody accusing me of something?" and we said... "i don't know. did you do something?" -if she's saying that i stole something from her, then i'm sorry. i don't know what to say, but i haven't stolen anything from anybody. (narrator:) then, russo offers up an alibi for his whereabouts on november 15th. (davis:) he said that he had driven to a radio station to talk to them about playing his music. (narrator:) but detectives are quickly able to find evidence that debunks russo's story. -he wasn't near the radio station after all. we pull his cellphone records, and we notice that he is pinging or in the area of a cell tower that is very near diane's home. (narrator:) but there's more. we interviewed patrick's first wife. she gave us a pretty chilling account of their sex life, and she told us that really, -patrick could not receive any type of gratification unless he was strangling her, and she said on several occasions, she almost passed out. she thought that he was going to kill her. (narrator:) then, with the evidence steadily building against him... we got a phone call from a ms. cranford, who lived in the austin area. her home had been for sale during the same time period. -(narrator:) she offers up an important piece of the puzzle that can connect patrick russo to diane holik's murder. you let him in? okay, so he picked up the brochure. that's good. do you still have it? -she had a flyer that would have his fingerprints on it because he left it behind. could you set that aside for us? i'm going to send somebody over to pick it up. have you ever... handled a real-estate flyer for a house for sale in west austin? no. -so then, your fingerprints shouldn't be on it. correct. and if they were, then that would be...? that would be wrong. i'm telling you i haven't touched any flyers. -the police immediately send a crime-scene unit out, and they took the flyer back to the police lab and processed it for fingerprints there. (narrator:) if russo's prints are on the flyer, he's lied to them while on parole, and they can arrest and hold him while they build their case. the fingerprints are a match. (narrator:) and when the dna analysis comes back on the hairs left on the towel and the swab of diane's ring finger... (davis:) it was absolutely not dennis conley's dna, absolutely not ray chancy's dna. statistically, you could eliminate 99.9% of the world's population from contributing both the dna on the hand and the dna on the hair, but you could not exclude mr. russo. -(tayman:) there was zero doubt it was him. i knew instantly. he was never looking for a home. he was looking for somebody to kill. (narrator:) the dna match puts russo at the scene of the crime. -on february 5, 2004, patrick russo goes on trial for murder. the prosecution tells the jury they believe that on november 15, 2001, russo was in diane's neighborhood... hunting for a victim. -desperate to sell her home, diane let him in. (russo:) i'm so sorry. yeah, i was here earlier. i was wondering if... come in. -thank you so much. oh, my goodness. oh, thank you. what...? what are you doing in the rain? -i was in the neighborhood. a-and this was the only time i could come by. j-just wait one minute. let me get you a towel. (davis:) i think that russo came to her front door, that she let him in, and she gave him a towel to dry off with, and that's how his hair ended up on the towel. -if you don't mind, we can start upstairs. you're going to love this house. it's perfect for families. (gerrish:) once he was in, he took the opportunity, when they were looking around the house again, to attack her, bind her, and strangle her. (narrator:) police believe that russo stole diane's diamond engagement ring to make it look like a robbery and discarded it on his way home. -(gerrish:) and then, he cleaned the crime scene up. then, he left. (narrator:) the ring has never been found. the only thing that he forgot was the towel. february 20, 2004, -patrick anthony russo is found guilty of capital murder. he is sentenced to life in prison. i do believe justice was served. (de los santos:) if we hadn't caught patrick russo, he would have absolutely done this again. this was probably... the most difficult case i've ever worked. -um. it was a perfect storm of a whodunit. we had to pull out every tool in our tool chest to actually solve this case. justice was served in this case. we found the man that did it, we convicted him, and he will spend the rest of his life in prison. -(narrator:) for diane's friends, the only way to deal with her loss is to find comfort in her memory. (lepore:) i never fail to remember how happy diane was and how sad it was that we lost her. i think diane thought she would live till 90 and have two kids and two dogs and a white picket fence. (cooper:) i would like for diane to be remembered for... the shining star that she was, the happy person, the loving person. she was a light in this life that should never have gone out. -she was amazing. dr. zanner. our partners would like an update on your progress. see for yourselves. 80% kill rate within two weeks. -makes ebola look like the common cold? the virus is airborne, friends. and preparations continue for the g20 conference on banking secrecy. we leave for rome the day after tomorrow, ma'am. roma, city of carbs. -have to admit, i've been dreaming about the stracci for the past week. and a deal with russia on... tax avoidance. so, where are we on that? sadly, still in the gulag. -president salnikov is making noises about rejecting the entire framework agreement outright. the fact is, russia welcomes the money american billionaires hide in dummy russian corporations. but frankly, plenty of russian oligarchs do the same thing here in the u.s. so they're willing to look the other way when terrorists hide their money, as long as the billionaires are happy. -with the rhetoric coming out of the kremlin, the gaggle wants to know if it's cold war 2.0. come on, we're not even close to a cold war. a little chilly, maybe. ma'am, you're needed in the white house. all right, find out what salnikov wants. -two hours ago, jordanian west bank border. this vehicle way back in the line, that's reverend andrew slattery. we believe that the two men on either side are. dr. bill zanner and lance abbot. our missing doomsday cult members. -we identified the two men in front as al-qaeda-in-syria lieutenants. i take it this isn't a cross-cultural exchange program. confirms our theory that the vff and al-qaeda are working together. and now they're inside israel. not necessarily. -based on our warnings, idf had beefed up security on all border checkpoints. moments after this was taken, they turned around, bugged out. our best guess is that they'll make another run at getting into israel through a smuggling tunnel. okay. -doesn't israel know the location of those tunnels? not all of them. but the palestinians do. we can ask, but i doubt the palestinian authority wants to give up its only real strategic advantage to israel. -what else, ephraim? i'd like to send a joint cia-fbi task force to jerusalem to liaise with mossad, so we can work shared intel in real time. just agent maloof and dr. mccord and a support team. excuse me? -i-i mean, i'm-i'm... sorry. did you know about this? yeah. it just came up this morning. well, as much as i'd like to see where... this goes, if nobody has anything else... -it's not that... you ambushed me. i would have told you, but we were a little busy trying to prevent a bio-terror attack. if only there were some method of communication where you could send messages almost instantaneously. i'm sorry you felt ambushed. -i'm sorry that i called you out in front of the leader of the free world. i just find it surprising that a guy who was shot multiple times not two months ago and is still on crutches is going to oversee a field op halfway around the world. babe. i've been on point with the vff mission since the beginning... are you really that surprised? -okay, okay, it's not that you're going, it's that you didn't tell me. no, it's that i'm going. are you really gonna push me on this? i'm sorry you felt ambushed. -elizabeth. we have the israeli and palestinian leaders on the line. okay. am i at least gonna see you at home? -yeah. we're not leaving till tonight. i'd say "break a leg," henry, but... seriously, good luck. we will share information with your government, -president dalton, but not with israel. that won't work, president sayedd. mossad has to run point on this. you really think we don't know about your smuggling tunnels, bassam? if we had such tunnels, they would be to bring vital supplies that your government deprives us. -nonsense. they are to attack us. to defend ourselves! gentlemen, you've seen our intelligence briefs. there are only a few hundred people on the planet with the expertise to whip up a superbug that can kill millions. -dr. zanner is one of them. we're not going to achieve peace in the middle east today. but if you don't cooperate on this... it might not matter. they both called for emergency sessions of their governments, and now suddenly everyone's on board. well, there's nothing like the power of the mutually-assured- destruction card. -babe, i'm gonna be fine. yeah, so said the man flying straight into said destruction. okay, let's talk about how you got the israelis and the palestinians to work together. let's focus on that. -that is pretty cool. it's so cool. it was very cool. hey, um... what'd you guys want to talk to me about? i can... -no, no. yeah. i... okay, so look, um, mom has to go to this g20 thing in rome... and i just found out that i've got to go to a conference in london, so... we were wondering if you could, take over for the next week and sort of run the show with your brother and sister? -yeah. sure, no problem. really? yeah. i mean, your work is really important and i'm very happy to help, so... -cool. thanks, honey. okay. great. well, that was easy. -yeah. maybe a little too easy. we just asked her to spend the week as a single mother, and she just... accepted. she doesn't have any plans? she's 22-years-old. -what, she and jareth don't have a life? they don't live together. you ever wonder about that? maybe she's just a really great kid who wants to help her parents out. or maybe she's a mustang and we broke her. -and way ahead of schedule. no, i'm serious. i had to grow up way too soon, and it was no fun. and it did serious damage to my relationship with my little brother. you and will are fine and this has nothing to do with what you guys went through. -i know. i just don't want to clip her wings. i got to go. wish i could clip your wings. what is it? -the americans must have followed you here. now, the israelis are waiting outside. there has to be another way, another tunnel. or maybe through egypt. reverend slattery survived. -he's in surgery at yad la chole hospital in jerusalem. any sign of the drone or bio-weapon? no, sir. but the tunnel was being entered by idf on the west bank side right about the time they were shot. so, al-qaeda got wind and bailed on the joint attack. -that's our operating theory. so, we have doomsday weapons in the hands of hardened terrorists with unknown intentions and not a single clue on their whereabouts. is there a more optimistic slant, or is that about the size of it? well, our team just arrived in jerusalem. dr. mccord and agent maloof will be working directly with mossad. -bess, i hear our little intel-sharing op with the israelis has borne fruit. yeah. i trust your marriage will survive it. i mean it. -i believe you. listen, if you're still up for it, i'd love for you to do what you can to get stevie off the wait list and over the finish line at harvard law. what happened to withdrawing from the battlefield? well, i realized that going to school in another state would be good for her. -you know, help her sort of break out on her own, find her own... thing. okay. the muzzle was starting to chafe. thanks. -listen, if we could just keep it between the two of us, i think that'd be... kind of ironic, asking me to secretly pull strings to help make your daughter more independent. wo... we found al-qaeda sigint in mossad's most recent intercepts referring to a lab in deir ez-zor, syria. with mentions of medical equipment used to create a virus and human trials on captured syrian soldiers. -very mengele-esque. deir ez-zor is in the middle of the country, in al-qaeda-held territory. the short answer is they were murdered by a vanishing banshee made of matter from another dimension. you expect me to put that in my report? i have a cybernetic hand. -i've been to an another planet. this stuff happens in s.h.i.e.l.d. there's not going to be a s.h.i.e.l.d., not since director mace's autopsy report was leaked. i've got a dozen intelligence agencies who now know that mace wasn't an inhuman. they know s.h.i.e.l.d. lied about it, and they're wondering what else you might've lied about. -that was your lie, not ours. damn it, phil, you're missing the point. there's an international intelligence inquiry tomorrow morning, and i need you there to defend s.h.i.e.l.d. that's impossible. -damn it, coulson, so is a vanishing banshee. listen phil, i'm not gonna get up on my hind legs and beg for buttermilk, but you or one of your right hands needs to be there to take down these spooks before they take down s.h.i.e.l.d. once and for all. that's an order. i wish we could, general, but my team and i are aida's primary target. our presence would only endanger the lives of everyone there. -if anything changes, you'll be the first to know. is that a good-news face or a bad-news face? it's a weird-news face. robbie reyes just stole his charger out of a s.h.i.e.l.d. impound garage outside of dover. what's new? -nothing much. beat up a couple dudes, turned out to be robots. i didn't think i'd see you again, not after you fell through that hell mouth. i'm as surprised as you. what happened? -the darkhold. my arm still hurts. why won't it heal? let me see. don't touch me! -if you want to make me feel better, then explain why my arm hasn't healed. that flame-headed demon was born in the same darkness that created you. you will need to be careful. how'd you find aida? there was a... a tear in the dark world when she was created. -it's how i escaped. the thing in me is drawn to dark matter the way your gps tracks my car. so you're saying aida's made of the same stuff as the darkhold? yeah. -and the rider wants to send them both back to where they came from. i hope that means hell. hell is relative. dimensions, space, planets ... it's all connected. plenty of them qualify as hell. -the earth is just one territory in a war that's been going on forever. can you beat aida? i don't know. but what i do know is the demon in me hates her in ways i've never felt. we all feel like that. -why do you have that? it was in the module with the lmds robbie destroyed. do we know who he is? no, looks like aida's been busy. she could've duplicated anybody. -i'll run facial recognition, see if we can id this guy. we look fantastic. we look fantastic. don't disappoint me. you know i don't handle disappointment very well. -that is why we are going to recreate the other world. to please you. all right, people, let's wrap it up. grab your bags, and let's get to the bus. you have to remember, in this world, he has no idea who you are. -eh? let me talk to him first. i don't know if you saw me, but i was at the steel mill when coulson, daisy, and the others jumped. i saw what happened when they went through ... the truth about this reality. i believe you saw it, too. -listen to me, i don't have anything ... i'm ready. good job, sweetheart. ah, i wish everyone was as good at packing as you are. hey, mack, i can't find my suitcase. -it was just here a minute ago. don't worry. my dad's gonna get everyone to a safe place. what's your name? elena, but my friends call me yo-yo. -that's a funny name. everything in the armory is gone, like it just disappeared. yeah, i know. i'm seeing it, too. half the people in here are missing clothing, luggage. -is there any word from the other bases? not in a couple hours. okay. we need to leave now. all right, everyone, listen up. -grab what you can, and follow me. let's go. come on, sweetheart. let's go. let's go. -i tried to warn you. next time, i talk to him. he'll remember me. we've id'd the head. he's one of the senior russian analysts invited to the s.h.i.e.l.d. inquiry today, and look who he's bringing as his plus-one. -i've left messages for general talbot, but he's not answering. what's aida's play here? why have the lmds attend this? my guess is to drive the final nail into s.h.i.e.l.d.'s coffin. enough. -for decades, we have turned a blind eye to s.h.i.e.l.d.'s indifference to the rule of law. they claim to be a spy agency but behave more like a secret police, leaving destruction and chaos in their wake. but of all their dangerous policies, there is one that threatens our very survival. it is their secret program of breeding, recruiting, and weaponizing inhumans. what kind of commie double cross is this? -i assure you, s.h.i.e.l.d. has no such program. hear me out, general. we offer a solution, a path to putting s.h.i.e.l.d. and their inhumans away once and for all. this book opened my eyes to the truth about inhumans. -it contains a plan to defeat them, and you can all be a part of it. i smell a load of i. ron horsecrap. daisy, goodness. is coulson with you? we'll flush them to you. -you see? this is what s.h.i.e.l.d. wants ... a world of inhumans. we must resist. we must unite! read this. -you'll see the answer! there's still a pulse. everybody out ... now. and get some medical help. phil. -they'll be back for that. hello, daisy. i had a lot of time after you shattered my spine to think about what i'd do when i saw you again. i decided it might be fun to watch you kill yourself. aida, seriously, therapy. -just consider it. it's time for me to take you home. quake, johnson ... i don't care what you call her. she's not gonna get away with this. -the world is gonna see the truth. that wasn't daisy. that was a duplicate, a life model decoy ... the same with those russians that were in here. they're not human. they did this. -don't let them get away! don't. that's all you got? robbie! really? -you? again? you don't understand, do you? even if you defeat this body, i will build more. you cannot stop me. -never say, "you can't stop me," 'cause the minute you do... well, yeah. that. i missed it, didn't i? -you two together, and we missed it. damn. come on. we got to go. come on! -this must be aida's payback 'cause i quaked her skinny ass out that window. she's gonna send daisy-bot after daisy-bot to assassinate people. she won't have to. as soon as the video of your lmd shooting talbot in the head -gets out, s.h.i.e.l.d. is dead. it's worse than that. daisy's not just s.h.i.e.l.d. she's inhuman. my god, you're right. it's the same tactic aida used in the framework ... unite people in their fear of inhumans. -but instead of a cambridge incident... it's me. i'll be the monster. she wants the same fascist state that she had in the framework. this is her plan. -she's won. no, she hasn't. okay, maybe today, but like robbie said, we're part of a bigger war. this isn't the framework. we're awake, we're unified, and frankly, pissed off enough to risk everything to stop her. -i need the darkhold. what? no! no one's ever reading that damn book again. i don't want to read it. -i want to use it as bait. aida's human now. she feels what we feel, including fear. no, i'm sorry, man. i'm taking it. -but she's got to be terrified we'll use it to stop her. she's also terrified of robbie. as soon as she saw his chain flame on, she teleported out. is that true? can you destroy her? -maybe. but it's like daisy said, she won't let me anywhere near her. this thing in you ... is it as desperate to destroy aida as we are? absolutely. then i have an idea that might solve all our problems. -we're running out of options. there isn't enough power on the zephyr to protect mack and yo-yo. then we'll have to go back to base. that's a terrible idea. i agree. -the military, aida, more lmds are probably waiting for us. maybe, but i'm tired of hiding. let's take the fight back home. look, i know you two still have a lot to work out, but right now, i need you on the same page, okay? all right, may, take us back to hq. -what's going on? ! i got to get out of here! isn't there any news about this? seems like all the stations have stopped transmitting. -wish i could get a couple of bars. i have to make mack believe me. it's not that he doesn't believe, my dear. it's that he's decided to stay in spite of that. then i'll change him. -do you know who i am? my name is elena. you gave me a nickname ... yo-yo. you remember me. -no. but daisy ... she mentioned your name once. yes. daisy. she's a friend. -she and coulson and the others are safe on the other side. that's where i'm from. that's where you're from. i'm just trying to keep my kid safe and get these people out of town. i don't have time to ... -you're right. there isn't any time. look around you, mack. this is the end. you know that. -in your heart, you know the truth about this world, about your daughter. what are you saying? it's... when daisy told me why you didn't want to leave this place, -i was so hurt. why would you f... oh. that's why i'm here. i would never want to take this away from you, mack, but i thought maybe if you saw me, if you looked into my eyes, you would remember us, the life we have, the love. -dad! where did they go? that's impossible. it's... they're gone! -where'd everybody go? oh... i don't know, sweetheart. i-i'm here. why are we still here? -i suppose our friends on the other side. perhaps fitz has found some way to stall our ultimate demise ... at least for now. i'm scared. what's gonna happen next? -next, um... we go home. okay? this is a terrible plan. you know, robot may was way more supportive. -is she what happened to the haig? that again? really? you want to have that talk now? i never want to have a talk, but maybe we should, considering we don't know how this will play out. -so, they really believe they're in a different world right now? uh-huh. every bit as real as this one. even scarier 'cause hydra won. i imagine where you came from was a whole lot worse. -yeah. yeah, but it's hard to describe. the main thing is, there, i'm just a passenger. ghost rider drives. and by "drives," i mean fights and kills. -it's kind of all we did. that sounds terrible... and painful and lonely. yeah, that about sums it up. but i'm here now... -and that's good. that is good. now, if we could get these two back, it'd be even better. how long do they have? we're in the server room, daisy. -you can begin. okay, good. so the idea is that i built a back door into the framework so they can escape, but the problem is, i can't make them use it. that's on yo-yo. did you bolt the door? -of course. what do you think i am? i think you're dead. it's okay, sweetheart. i get it. -i do. she's beautiful and she's sweet and she adores him, but she's not real. he knows that. he also knows that she's not alive in the other world. i just ... -i thought if he saw me, he would remember us. you should leave, save yourself while you still can. no. i'll drag him if i have to. no, you won't, and i'll tell you why. -let's say you manage to force mack to the other side. will he ever forgive you? will he ever forgive himself for abandoning his daughter? you have to come to terms with the reality that he is willing to die in here with her. i know, i know. -that's killing me. if he dies here, that means he dies in the real world, and i'll lose him forever. and all for a little girl that isn't even real. she doesn't even exist. okay, remember what we talked about before? -how there isn't room in your heart for me? no, that being human sometimes means ... that there's pain and tears and suffering? yeah, i'm catching on to that pretty quickly. now i understand why humans have written so many sad songs. -yeah! hey, that's a great example. there are lots of ways to express sadness and pain. there's music and art... and smashing heads on the floor. -that's the one i like the best so far. did you know that blood has a copper smell? okay, ophelia, i'll go with you. please don't hurt anyone. it's aida. -the "a" stands for "artificial," remem... ophelia, you're upset because ... because this is all new. there's ... there's lots of feelings. -that must be overwhelming. it is overwhelming. there are too many feelings, which is why i've decided to only feel one of them ... vengeance. it's hot and clean and sharp like a knife. and my vengeance is going to make you suffer the way that i have suffered. -nooo! beg me to let her live! we drank the bottle as a new beginning. it felt right, but now i'm not sure how much was you and how much was programmed. part of it seemed real. -maybe part of it was. okay. maybe on my end, too. so here's what i think we should do. when we get out of this mess, we take a couple of steps back, start again. -then when it feels right, maybe we open another bottle. deal. deal. see you on the other side. i'll do whatever you want. -we can go away, start again. too late. this is making me feel better. fitz, why do we feel better when we make someone else suffer? because there's something wrong with you, you psycho! -stop. stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. please, please, spare jemma. so it's jemma now? trying to humanize her. -i'm afraid you're gonna have to do better than that. fitz, please... i'm scared. make her stop. the darkhold! -that's the only way we could beat you. let jemma go, and i'll go get it for you. you did this, fitz. i'm so sorry, jemma. coulson's reading the book. -he's firing up the gateway right now. come on. please. let me take you to it. jemma! -nooo! no! i'm gonna kill everyone you love right in front of you, and there's nothing you can do. agent coulson. do you really think you can stop me from taking the darkhold? -i don't know. i figure it's worth a shot. there's only one person who might be able to stop me, and he isn't here. yeah, see, that's where i think you might be missing the point. i know you've only been human for a little while, but there's a basic human concept you really need to learn. -it's called teamwork. your trap failed. your weapon can't stop me. i know. i just really wanted to do that. -now it's my turn. don't you get it? you can't kill me. maybe not. but i'm pretty sure he can. -good luck, sir. they're at mack's house. i don't know how much longer i can protect them. i'm trying to build a back door now. is she really...? -yeah. hope! hope! daddy, the lady said that you were gonna die and that i'm not real. z! -@~ am @n: s4-22: world'send z! @~ am @n -z! @ ~ am@n z! @~ am @n: s4-22: -world'send z! @ ~ am@n z z! -@ ~ z z! @ ~ z -z! @ ~ that's not true. that's not true. you're the most real thing in the whole world. -i'm sorry. i didn't mean for her to overhear. why are you doing this? why are you putting those ideas in my little girl's head? because this world is ending, and i don't want you to end with it. -daisy said that hope wasn't alive in the other world. that's true. well, i'm not living in a world without her. daddy! okay, it's now or never. -time's running out. that door is the only way out. please, mack. everyone who cares about you is on the other side of that door. the only person i care about is right here. -what are you doing? you need to leave. no. it's okay. the only person i care about is here, too. -great. just great. am i the only sane person here? daddy, make it stop. i'm right here, sweetheart. -i'm right here. am i gonna die? i don't want to die. i want to be real. please, daddy. -don't leave. no, no. i will never leave you. you're my little girl. i will always love you. -i will... my baby. my baby. no, no, no, no, no. no. -i don't see mack. he's gone. yo-yo. mack? mack... -mack! mack. that was horrifying. i don't know how you live with it all the time. i'm just grateful ghost rider kept its part of the deal and went back to you. -you know why he made the deal in the first place, right? i do. are you gonna tell the others? no. and i'd ask that you don't, either. -i will when it's time. when i first saw you with hope, i, uh i understood why you didn't want to come back. i didn't make it easy. she was... i feel terrible that i tried to pull you away from her and worse that we couldn't save her. -can you forgive me? there's nothing to forgive. those years with her, as a father, it'll always be a part of me. but they also gave me a glimpse of a life i could have here... with you. you really have to leave right away? -yeah. i have to get this book someplace safe. keep an eye on my brother? the gateway's almost ready. don't need it. -i've learned a few things since you saw me last. i don't envy you. i was gonna say the same to you. what did he mean by that? we picked up radio chatter on the zephyr. -the good news is, is that talbot is alive. he's in a coma, but alive. the bad news is they know we're here, and they're on their way. yeah, you should go while you can. -yeah, we're all going. no, i'm gonna stay. this is my fault ... aida, the lmds, all the deaths. those aren't on s.h.i.e.l.d. those are on me. -and, uh, i can explain that i built the lmd that shot talbot. that way ... fitz. we were all in the framework together. we understand how confusing and screwed-up that world is. -and trust me, it's gonna take me years to process everything that happened in there. but the one thing that i don't need time to understand is that we are all in this together. i tried to take the blame for everything not too long ago. i dyed my hair. i ran away. -i thought that separating myself from the team would help me protect it. but in truth, i kind of just lost myself. and you ... you were the one who pulled me back in. this is not on you, okay? we all lost ourselves in there. -and yeah, it might take you a long time to forgive yourself. but speaking on behalf of the team, you have nothing to apologize for. if there's a price to pay, we pay it together. amen. anybody else hungry? -i'm not saying we're definitely gonna get locked up, but if we are, wouldn't mind grabbing a bite to eat first. though immortality may have eluded me perhaps it's for the best. after all what is eternity without my beloved agnes by my side? this is the way the world ends. not with a bang, but a ... -you know, i think this is the first time we've all been together in a really long time. anybody have room for some pie? okay, so we have apple, strawberry, rhubarb, and chocolate banana cream. here we go. phillip j. coulson. -yep, that's me. you got us. nice job. and hey, congrats on the whole power-outage thing. it was very ominous. -the window closes in less than two minutes. take them. we'll return in a moment. all right, phil, enough sight-seeing. get back to work. -stay tuned for scenes from our next episode (i.e season 05 got renewed on may 11, 2017) which is intended to air during 2017– 2018 ctv ctv abc abc z! @ ~ am@n previously on "marvel's agents of s.h.i.e.l.d."... i haven't been totally honest with you. -i drank the bottle of haig. i chose you! now you choose me! that's not how it works. you can't control everyone anymore! -i want them to suffer. that book will rebuild the world where inhumans are hunted. were you able to save mack? he didn't want to come back! i'll go get him out myself. -you think robbie will make it back? i don't think we've seen the last of mr. reyes. 4x22 world's end i've set autopilot to change bearing, altitude, and speed every couple of minutes. -i hate playing defense, but if aida drops in on us before we figure out how to stop her, it's game over. any word from piper since she halo'd out? not yet, but she knows what to do if this doesn't go our way. it has to go our way. and then... you're gonna explain why you drank that bottle of haig without me. -fair enough, but we're gonna need another bottle to discuss what happened with that bottle. so, is she human or inhuman? um... both. well... neither. she was created from the darkhold. -is that how she got her inhuman powers? that was me. i devised a procedure which extracted dormant inhuman dna from subjects pre-terrigenesis. if you're writing a report, i should probably be more specific. i performed lethal experiments on approximately two dozen people ... innocent people, people we've known from this world ... -lincoln campbell, vijay nadeer, gordon from the afterlife ... fitz, i'm not making a report, and that wasn't really you. it was me. i can still hear the screams. but you're also this man, and... -we need to find a solution. well, my solutions only make things worse. they end up hurting or killing people. good. that's exactly the kind of solution we need right now ... a way to kill aida. -we've emptied a dozen bullets in her, and she didn't die. how do we kill her? i don't know. do you want to kill her? vitals are stable. -that's good. should've forced mack to come back with us. wasn't your decision to make. yeah, well, now we might lose both mack and yo-yo. again, not your call. -she went in with no extraction plan, no idea how to find mack. i think i may have been able to help her with that. no, no, no, no, no, no, no. no! what? -did you do something? no, this was not me. i didn't ... are you guys seeing this? what's happening to the framework? -help! somebody help me! is anybody there? ! is anybody there? -please help me. please. no, no, no! please, no! no, no, no, no! -yo-yo. you being here, it's madness. i came here for mack. well, a valiant but... foolish endeavor. -how did you find me? i kept discovering these ... in my pockets, in the streets. i felt like a pac-man gobbling up biscuits. somebody wanted me to find you. daisy. -can you take me to mack? i fear you're too late. look. aida's shutting down the framework. it's collapsing on itself. -this is what happens when you piss off your creator. are you laughing at me? to see a creature of logic and calculation now consumed with rage and hate... it's... sweet. call me "sweet" one more time, and i'll rip the titanium spines out of all of you tin cans. there's no need to call us names. -why are you so upset? you created us. a decision i regret. there is that word again ... "regret." -you built an empire by eliminating the regrets of others. how does it taste on your tongue? i want to burn this world to the ground. i thought you wanted to rule it. don't mistake my anger for recklessness. -the darkhold has shown us exactly what to do. it's just that i also want s.h.i.e.l.d. to suffer. you've made that clear. fitz. especially fitz. -i've come for that. you're not like those machines anymore. what have you done? i'll show you. how long before the framework's completely gone? -fitz estimates between 12 and 20 hours. looks so innocent, just numbers and symbols, but each thread of code has a corollary in the framework ... a favorite blouse, a schoolhouse, a newborn child ... they're all blinking out of existence forever. mack and yo-yo? there's no guarantee that they'll survive until the end. fitz and daisy are doing everything they can to protect them and devise an exit. -general talbot. general, i'm relieved that you're still alive. three of my finest aren't so fortunate, and i have no idea what killed them. we lost good people, too. the short answer is they were murdered by a vanishing banshee made of matter from another dimension. -you expect me to put that in my report? i have a cybernetic hand. i've been to an another planet. this stuff happens in s.h.i.e.l.d. there's not going to be a s.h.i.e.l.d., not since director mace's autopsy report was leaked. -i've got a dozen intelligence agencies who now know that mace wasn't an inhuman. they know s.h.i.e.l.d. lied about it, and they're wondering what else you might've lied about. that was your lie, not ours. damn it, phil, you're missing the point. there's an international intelligence inquiry tomorrow morning, -and i need you there to defend s.h.i.e.l.d. that's impossible. damn it, coulson, so is a vanishing banshee. listen phil, i'm not gonna get up on my hind legs and beg for buttermilk, but you or one of your right hands needs to be there to take down these spooks before they take down s.h.i.e.l.d. once and for all. that's an order. -i wish we could, general, but my team and i are aida's primary target. our presence would only endanger the lives of everyone there. if anything changes, you'll be the first to know. is that a good-news face or a bad-news face? it's a weird-news face. -robbie reyes just stole his charger out of a s.h.i.e.l.d. impound garage outside of dover. what's new? nothing much. beat up a couple dudes, turned out to be robots. i didn't think i'd see you again, not after you fell through that hell mouth. -i'm as surprised as you. what happened? the darkhold. my arm still hurts. why won't it heal? -let me see. don't touch me! if you want to make me feel better, then explain why my arm hasn't healed. that flame-headed demon was born in the same darkness that created you. you will need to be careful. -how'd you find aida? there was a... a tear in the dark world when she was created. it's how i escaped. the thing in me is drawn to dark matter the way your gps tracks my car. so you're saying -aida's made of the same stuff as the darkhold? yeah. and the rider wants to send them both back to where they came from. i hope that means hell. hell is relative. -dimensions, space, planets ... it's all connected. plenty of them qualify as hell. the earth is just one territory in a war that's been going on forever. can you beat aida? i don't know. -but what i do know is the demon in me hates her in ways i've never felt. we all feel like that. why do you have that? it was in the module with the lmds robbie destroyed. do we know who he is? -no, looks like aida's been busy. she could've duplicated anybody. i'll run facial recognition, see if we can id this guy. we look fantastic. we look fantastic. -don't disappoint me. you know i don't handle disappointment very well. that is why we are going to recreate the other world. to please you. all right, people, let's wrap it up. -grab your bags, and let's get to the bus. you have to remember, in this world, he has no idea who you are. eh? let me talk to him first. i don't know if you saw me, but i was at the steel mill when coulson, daisy, and the others jumped. -i saw what happened when they went through ... the truth about this reality. i believe you saw it, too. listen to me, i don't have anything ... i'm ready. good job, sweetheart. -ah, i wish everyone was as good at packing as you are. hey, mack, i can't find my suitcase. it was just here a minute ago. don't worry. my dad's gonna get everyone to a safe place. -what's your name? elena, but my friends call me yo-yo. that's a funny name. everything in the armory is gone, like it just disappeared. yeah, i know. -i'm seeing it, too. half the people in here are missing clothing, luggage. is there any word from the other bases? not in a couple hours. okay. -we need to leave now. all right, everyone, listen up. grab what you can, and follow me. let's go. come on, sweetheart. -let's go. let's go. i tried to warn you. next time, i talk to him. he'll remember me. -we've id'd the head. he's one of the senior russian analysts invited to the s.h.i.e.l.d. inquiry today, and look who he's bringing as his plus-one. i've left messages for general talbot, but he's not answering. what's aida's play here? why have the lmds attend this? -my guess is to drive the final nail into s.h.i.e.l.d.'s coffin. enough. for decades, we have turned a blind eye to s.h.i.e.l.d.'s indifference to the rule of law. they claim to be a spy agency but behave more like a secret police, leaving destruction and chaos in their wake. but of all their dangerous policies, there is one that threatens our very survival. -it is their secret program of breeding, recruiting, and weaponizing inhumans. what kind of commie double cross is this? i assure you, s.h.i.e.l.d. has no such program. hear me out, general. we offer a solution, a path to putting s.h.i.e.l.d. -and their inhumans away once and for all. this book opened my eyes to the truth about inhumans. it contains a plan to defeat them, and you can all be a part of it. i smell a load of i. ron horsecrap. daisy, goodness. -is coulson with you? we'll flush them to you. you see? this is what s.h.i.e.l.d. wants ... a world of inhumans. we must resist. -we must unite! read this. you'll see the answer! there's still a pulse. everybody out ... now. -and get some medical help. phil. they'll be back for that. hello, daisy. i had a lot of time after you shattered my spine to think about what i'd do when i saw you again. -i decided it might be fun to watch you kill yourself. aida, seriously, therapy. just consider it. it's time for me to take you home. quake, johnson ... -i don't care what you call her. she's not gonna get away with this. the world is gonna see the truth. that wasn't daisy. that was a duplicate, a life model decoy ... the same with those russians that were in here. -they're not human. they did this. don't let them get away! don't. that's all you got? -robbie! really? you? again? you don't understand, do you? -even if you defeat this body, i will build more. you cannot stop me. never say, "you can't stop me," 'cause the minute you do... well, yeah. -that. i missed it, didn't i? you two together, and we missed it. damn. come on. -we got to go. come on! this must be aida's payback 'cause i quaked her skinny ass out that window. she's gonna send daisy-bot after daisy-bot to assassinate people. -she won't have to. as soon as the video of your lmd shooting talbot in the head gets out, s.h.i.e.l.d. is dead. it's worse than that. daisy's not just s.h.i.e.l.d. she's inhuman. -my god, you're right. it's the same tactic aida used in the framework ... unite people in their fear of inhumans. but instead of a cambridge incident... it's me. i'll be the monster. -she wants the same fascist state that she had in the framework. this is her plan. she's won. no, she hasn't. okay, maybe today, but like robbie said, we're part of a bigger war. -this isn't the framework. we're awake, we're unified, and frankly, pissed off enough to risk everything to stop her. i need the darkhold. what? no! -no one's ever reading that damn book again. i don't want to read it. i want to use it as bait. aida's human now. she feels what we feel, including fear. -no, i'm sorry, man. i'm taking it. but she's got to be terrified we'll use it to stop her. she's also terrified of robbie. as soon as she saw his chain flame on, she teleported out. -is that true? can you destroy her? maybe. but it's like daisy said, she won't let me anywhere near her. this thing in you ... is it as desperate to destroy aida as we are? -absolutely. then i have an idea that might solve all our problems. we're running out of options. there isn't enough power on the zephyr to protect mack and yo-yo. then we'll have to go back to base. -that's a terrible idea. i agree. the military, aida, more lmds are probably waiting for us. maybe, but i'm tired of hiding. let's take the fight back home. -look, i know you two still have a lot to work out, but right now, i need you on the same page, okay? all right, may, take us back to hq. what's going on? ! i got to get out of here! -isn't there any news about this? seems like all the stations have stopped transmitting. wish i could get a couple of bars. i have to make mack believe me. it's not that he doesn't believe, my dear. -it's that he's decided to stay in spite of that. then i'll change him. do you know who i am? my name is elena. you gave me a nickname ... -yo-yo. you remember me. no. but daisy ... she mentioned your name once. yes. -daisy. she's a friend. she and coulson and the others are safe on the other side. that's where i'm from. that's where you're from. -i'm just trying to keep my kid safe and get these people out of town. i don't have time to ... you're right. there isn't any time. look around you, mack. -this is the end. you know that. in your heart, you know the truth about this world, about your daughter. what are you saying? -it's... when daisy told me why you didn't want to leave this place, i was so hurt. why would you f... oh. -that's why i'm here. i would never want to take this away from you, mack, but i thought maybe if you saw me, if you looked into my eyes, you would remember us, the life we have, the love. dad! where did they go? that's impossible. -it's... they're gone! where'd everybody go? oh... i don't know, sweetheart. -i-i'm here. why are we still here? i suppose our friends on the other side. perhaps fitz has found some way to stall our ultimate demise ... at least for now. -i'm scared. what's gonna happen next? next, um... we go home. okay? -this is a terrible plan. you know, robot may was way more supportive. is she what happened to the haig? that again? really? -you want to have that talk now? i never want to have a talk, but maybe we should, considering we don't know how this will play out. so, they really believe they're in a different world right now? uh-huh. every bit as real as this one. -even scarier 'cause hydra won. i imagine where you came from was a whole lot worse. yeah. yeah, but it's hard to describe. the main thing is, there, i'm just a passenger. -ghost rider drives. and by "drives," i mean fights and kills. it's kind of all we did. that sounds terrible... and painful and lonely. -yeah, that about sums it up. but i'm here now... and that's good. that is good. now, if we could get these two back, it'd be even better. -how long do they have? we're in the server room, daisy. you can begin. okay, good. so the idea is that i built a back door into the framework so they can escape, but the problem is, i can't make them use it. -that's on yo-yo. did you bolt the door? of course. what do you think i am? i think you're dead. -it's okay, sweetheart. i get it. i do. she's beautiful and she's sweet and she adores him, but she's not real. he knows that. -he also knows that she's not alive in the other world. i just ... i thought if he saw me, he would remember us. you should leave, save yourself while you still can. no. -i'll drag him if i have to. no, you won't, and i'll tell you why. let's say you manage to force mack to the other side. will he ever forgive you? will he ever forgive himself for abandoning his daughter? -you have to come to terms with the reality that he is willing to die in here with her. i know, i know. that's killing me. if he dies here, that means he dies in the real world, and i'll lose him forever. and all for a little girl that isn't even real. -she doesn't even exist. okay, remember what we talked about before? how there isn't room in your heart for me? no, that being human sometimes means ... that there's pain and tears and suffering? -yeah, i'm catching on to that pretty quickly. now i understand why humans have written so many sad songs. yeah! hey, that's a great example. there are lots of ways to express sadness and pain. -there's music and art... and smashing heads on the floor. that's the one i like the best so far. did you know that blood has a copper smell? okay, ophelia, i'll go with you. -please don't hurt anyone. it's aida. the "a" stands for "artificial," remem... ophelia, you're upset because ... because this is all new. -there's ... there's lots of feelings. that must be overwhelming. it is overwhelming. there are too many feelings, which is why i've decided to only feel one of them ... vengeance. -it's hot and clean and sharp like a knife. and my vengeance is going to make you suffer the way that i have suffered. nooo! beg me to let her live! we drank the bottle as a new beginning. -it felt right, but now i'm not sure how much was you and how much was programmed. part of it seemed real. maybe part of it was. okay. maybe on my end, too. -so here's what i think we should do. when we get out of this mess, we take a couple of steps back, start again. then when it feels right, maybe we open another bottle. deal. deal. -see you on the other side. i'll do whatever you want. we can go away, start again. too late. this is making me feel better. -fitz, why do we feel better when we make someone else suffer? because there's something wrong with you, you psycho! stop. stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. please, please, spare jemma. -so it's jemma now? trying to humanize her. i'm afraid you're gonna have to do better than that. fitz, please... i'm scared. -make her stop. the darkhold! that's the only way we could beat you. let jemma go, and i'll go get it for you. you did this, fitz. -i'm so sorry, jemma. coulson's reading the book. he's firing up the gateway right now. come on. please. -let me take you to it. jemma! nooo! no! i'm gonna kill everyone you love right in front of you, and there's nothing you can do. -agent coulson. do you really think you can stop me from taking the darkhold? i don't know. i figure it's worth a shot. there's only one person who might be able to stop me, and he isn't here. -yeah, see, that's where i think you might be missing the point. i know you've only been human for a little while, but there's a basic human concept you really need to learn. it's called teamwork. your trap failed. your weapon can't stop me. -i know. i just really wanted to do that. now it's my turn. don't you get it? you can't kill me. -maybe not. but i'm pretty sure he can. good luck, sir. they're at mack's house. i don't know how much longer i can protect them. -i'm trying to build a back door now. is she really...? yeah. hope! hope! -daddy, the lady said that you were gonna die and that i'm not real. that's not true. that's not true. you're the most real thing in the whole world. i'm sorry. -i didn't mean for her to overhear. why are you doing this? why are you putting those ideas in my little girl's head? because this world is ending, and i don't want you to end with it. daisy said that hope wasn't alive in the other world. -that's true. well, i'm not living in a world without her. daddy! okay, it's now or never. time's running out. -that door is the only way out. please, mack. everyone who cares about you is on the other side of that door. the only person i care about is right here. what are you doing? -you need to leave. no. it's okay. the only person i care about is here, too. great. -just great. am i the only sane person here? daddy, make it stop. i'm right here, sweetheart. i'm right here. -am i gonna die? i don't want to die. i want to be real. please, daddy. don't leave. -no, no. i will never leave you. you're my little girl. i will always love you. i will... -my baby. my baby. no, no, no, no, no. no. i don't see mack. -he's gone. yo-yo. mack? mack... mack! -mack. that was horrifying. i don't know how you live with it all the time. i'm just grateful ghost rider kept its part of the deal and went back to you. you know why he made the deal in the first place, right? -i do. are you gonna tell the others? no. and i'd ask that you don't, either. i will when it's time. -when i first saw you with hope, i, uh i understood why you didn't want to come back. i didn't make it easy. she was... i feel terrible that i tried to pull you away from her and worse that we couldn't save her. can you forgive me? -there's nothing to forgive. those years with her, as a father, it'll always be a part of me. but they also gave me a glimpse of a life i could have here... with you. you really have to leave right away? yeah. -i have to get this book someplace safe. keep an eye on my brother? the gateway's almost ready. don't need it. i've learned a few things since you saw me last. -i don't envy you. i was gonna say the same to you. what did he mean by that? we picked up radio chatter on the zephyr. the good news is, is that talbot is alive. -he's in a coma, but alive. the bad news is they know we're here, and they're on their way. yeah, you should go while you can. yeah, we're all going. -no, i'm gonna stay. this is my fault ... aida, the lmds, all the deaths. those aren't on s.h.i.e.l.d. those are on me. and, uh, i can explain that i built the lmd that shot talbot. -that way ... fitz. we were all in the framework together. we understand how confusing and screwed-up that world is. and trust me, it's gonna take me years to process everything that happened in there. -but the one thing that i don't need time to understand is that we are all in this together. i tried to take the blame for everything not too long ago. i dyed my hair. i ran away. i thought that separating myself from the team would help me protect it. -but in truth, i kind of just lost myself. and you ... you were the one who pulled me back in. this is not on you, okay? we all lost ourselves in there. and yeah, it might take you a long time to forgive yourself. -but speaking on behalf of the team, you have nothing to apologize for. if there's a price to pay, we pay it together. amen. anybody else hungry? i'm not saying we're definitely gonna get locked up, but if we are, wouldn't mind grabbing a bite to eat first. -though immortality may have eluded me perhaps it's for the best. after all what is eternity without my beloved agnes by my side? this is the way the world ends. not with a bang, but a ... you know, i think this is the first time we've all been together in a really long time. -anybody have room for some pie? okay, so we have apple, strawberry, rhubarb, and chocolate banana cream. here we go. phillip j. coulson. yep, that's me. -you got us. nice job. and hey, congrats on the whole power-outage thing. it was very ominous. the window closes in less than two minutes. -take them. we'll return in a moment. all right, phil, enough sight-seeing. get back to work. _ -suri and moses' partnership, steadying the indian innings. shadab, ready to bowl once again... and stumped... suri losing his cool in a moment of excitement. irresponsible batting. -the crowd at sharjah... thrilled. pakistan, now in full control of this game. and niranjan suri... returns to the pavilion, after making just 19. why are we watching this? -greetings, niranjan. joshi here. aj. go on, aj. score less than 20 tomorrow. -but the closer it is to 20, the higher the price. payment? don't worry about that, niranjan. the arrangement will be the same as before. okay? -fine. you're a man of your word, coach. out exactly on 19. mr dhawan, that was a different time. loads of pressure; -the underworld... and so on. but never after that, i swear. how predictable. like a fixed cricket match. pun intended. -relax, coach. this isn't an interrogation. it's more of a reunion actually. time to meet an old friend. greetings, niranjan. -how are you? it's me, aj! i told mr dhawan, that niranjan is special. special! and i need to convince him in person. -mr dhawan, he recognises neither me nor my voice. never mind. no problem at all. old friends may be forgotten but, old habits die hard. 'social media has erupted since the news came out.' -'this is very shameful for indian cricket.' 'will the icb sweep this issue under the carpet? ' 'does vayu's silence prove his admission of guilt? ' -vayu, you're trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. is it true that you've done a dna test? what're you gonna name your child? that's it, that's it! come on, come on! -shot! shot! shot! great shot, arvind. super! -useless! never mind, prashant. you will get it. this fuckwit will never get it. prashant, focus. -c'mon! shot! come on, prashant! whoa! what? -tougher with a batsman standing in front of the stumps? come on! come on, prashant! get him out! c'mon! -come on ankit, bowl! in its own backyard, even a sheep is a lion. a session in the nets has put him in his place... look at that! rohini... -rohini! huh? what's his problem? don't even ask! he's not thinking... can't even decide whether to go short or full. -he doesn't use his brain in the nets! idiot! see what i'm talking...? play some spin. he'll join you in a bit. -come. look at that, we have a new coach now. you know something, prashant? you and i are hardly different. i came here from a small town just like you. -so small that, let alone flights, there wasn't even a direct train to bombay from there. then suddenly meeting and working with people i had only ever seen on tv or newspapers...! it can make anyone nervous. at least, i was. -just like you. how old were you when you came to mumbai? me? 17 years old. and the first scene of my first film was with vikram khanna. -vikram khanna! i'm a big fan. exactly. even i was a huge fan of his since childhood. let alone deliver lines in front of him, -i couldn't even utter a sound! the director kept yelling 'action' and i stood right there... petrified! vikram sir stopped the shoot. he took me aside and said, 'zarina, forget that i am vikram khanna.' -'forget that you are zarina malik. forget everything.' 'remember only this moment.' 'there was nothing before it, nor is there anything after it.' 'in this moment, there's no one better than you.' -'you are the best.' 'and if you survive this moment...' 'then you've won the moment.' and it doesn't matter if you're facing vikram khanna or arvind vashishth. what the fuck! he got his middle stump! -arvind vashishth's middle stump! a crack in the wall! not even shoaib could do that! i heard, the new boy bowled arvind! did you see that, coach? -start on your drills, dwight. all these players... what if one of them squeals? did you ever squeal? if you've already got all these players... -why do you need me? isn't it obvious, coach? you decide team selection. you're part of the team strategy. you literally can run the game for me from the dugout. -and you think... arvind won't find out what's happening around him? 'what's going on, coach? ' 'nothing.' -'but coach, i think something's wrong with that dismissal.' 'nothing is wrong, arvind.' 'why the hell is he bowling so many wide balls? ' 'don't worry, arvind. -i'll fix it.' 'why is he batting so slowly? ' 'it's a difficult wicket, arvind.' 'everything is fine.' -'everything is just fine.' arvind vashishth trusts you. a circus lion follows its ringmaster not because it is afraid of him... but because, it trusts him. this league is my circus, coach. -and you will be my ringmaster. see? see that? he's good. he's good. -isn't he good? why are you asking me? i'm no expert. no, he needs to play the next game. needs to? -dhawan wants him to play. mr dhawan is a man of so many talents, isn't he? first he decides which brands you endorse and now... he's your team selector. i feel you're giving up too much for too little. i asked you to arrange a preview screening for me. -they haven't responded yet. i'll get on it. gabbar! come here... come here. come here! -fine! keep your distance. don't mess with me! what do i wear? this one? -what do you think? i like it. not bad, huh? i'm gonna go. i'm gonna beat the hurricanes. -i'll get you once i'm back, you dog! you bloody dog! sir... sir, selfie please? yeah. -thank you. selfie? how may i help you, sir? get me a glass of water. what? -cheese! cheese! indian women, big problem. very backward. you are forward, huh? -very forward! i saw your photo. sexy photo! no, no! good, good! -it's good! women are a big problem anyway, yeah? look at vayu. you... no problem. -no pregnant... no tantrums... good, good! i did not like what you did today, zarina. taking prashant out of the net session like that... -but it worked, right? he got you out, clean-bowled. and what about in a match? will you give him a pep talk six times an over? you're overreacting. -i think prashant is good enough to play on the team. look, let's get something straight. outside the ground, the team is yours. but on it, it's mine! and if you still want to play selector, you can find another captain. -that's always an option. vayu, did you speak with meera? there's nothing to talk about. so you don't think she deserves an explanation? listen, if she cared for an explanation, she wouldn't have kicked me out of her house that day. -you go around impregnating women, and think your girlfriend won't get angry? i wasn't even with meera when i... you know... wow! you could've been more careful, couldn't you? can't even fucking use a condom! -rohini! useless! my sex life is my private matter! yeah, but it's fully public now! i don't want to talk about this. -yeah! why should you talk? it's your life, do whatever! welcome to chandigarh, zarina! please come over to my hotel... -suite 1076. i can't. excuse me? mr dhawan, if you want to meet, we will meet in a public place. not in your room. -of course. how un-gentlemanly of me. please, pick a place, and i'll be there. will that be all, sir? yes. -close the door on your way out. i hope this place is public enough for you? i couldn't decide which table i wanted, so... i just booked them all. red wine, right? -here we go! what happened with arvind? i don't think he will select prashant. i did my best. why don't you just sleep with him and be done with that? -tell me, zarina... do you like being a failure? coz you've been failing me every single time. in fact you're, useless to me. you have no business being a part of the mavericks. -do it then. release me. let me go. there's a time for everything, zarina. right now, it's time for you to be at the sponsors party. -you may leave. hi, mumbai mavericks! hello. greetings. good evening! -i'm your friend sunil pal. applause, please. we have all these lovely cricketers present here. let's talk about african and west indian players. my, my! -they are such beautiful people! nobody can 'black'mail them. they have an unfair advantage on the field. un-'fair' advantage! oh, yes! -i got that! well, devender... yep. don't laugh too hard. why? -when you are fielding near the black sight screen, it's difficult to tell if it is you or your shadow! until you show your teeth, that is! devender, don't give me that scary look. however much we 'progress', our mindset will never change. you are ignoring my point. -i'm not. he gets nervous in the nets. he'll fuck up in the match! but i heard, he got you clean... arvind, this boy has an element of surprise. -imran khan did the same thing... picked up akram and waqar from the streets and thrust them straight into an international match! in fact, shoaib started so young... had these guys wasted time practising, maybe their talent would've gone unnoticed. besides, we're not under pressure in this match. we can experiment. -could help us in the playoffs, who knows? look, there's no compulsion. consider it with a calm mind. i don't want to experiment. hamish, dwight... -they're doing a great job. i don't think i want to change the winning combination. what a boring party... i'm getting out of here. what do you say? -how about a private party? look. that's my guy. tell me if you want some colombian powder. not in the mood. -hey, vayu. champagne, sir? no, just... a glass of water. sir. -so? how're you holding up? i can't speak for the national team, but you'll remain in my team as long as you give your hundred percent. and that's all that matters to me. as for your personal life and what the media says... -i don't really care. just don't let all of this distract you. okay? i won't let you down, skip. champagne, sir? -no, thank you. in fact, i'll have what he's having. on the rocks. 1, 2, 3, 4... (singing karaoke) hamish, ladies and gentlemen! -is this for real? your back is fucked up already. i'll manage. seriously...? i'll be fine! -fuck! oh, shit! don't touch me... don't touch me! the 'indian cancer foundation' would like to thank the mumbai mavericks... they've spared time and encouraged these kids... -thank you, mumbai mavericks! attention, children. when you play a straight drive, make sure your leg gets to the pitch of the ball. like this. lean slightly forward, head straight and over the ball, and... -that's it. understand? come... keep playing. i'll be back. -himanshu, mic please. meera! thank you. get the equipment out. meera, please. -listen... just talk to me, please. i'm sorry. do i know you? meera, i didn't want this. neither did i. -do you know what you are, vayu raghavan? you are hollow to the core! you have no emotions, no feelings, nothing! in fact, you're just another ppl cricketer with an overactive fucking dick! get out of my face! -meera, listen. look... himanshu, get the equipment out, please! meera look, we had broken up when this happened. it's not like i cheated on you. -i don't care! just, come on... don't fucking touch me, vayu! meera, people are watching. oh! -now you care what people think about you? no, it's too late for that. but i care what people think of you. it doesn't... it doesn't matter anymore! -every time, every second i think... fuck, when you'll do something stupid! no matter how hunky-dory it is, you will find a way to fuck it up! just leave me alone. meera, just... -vayu, what happened? give me your guy's number from last night. what? the guy from last night... his number! quick! -meera... hi. everything all right? i just... i don't wanna talk about it. -if you need anything... yeah, thank you. hamish's injury is quite serious. he can't play for at least two weeks. here, this is his report. -take a look! thanks. there you are. you've all got your wish. bring in your shoaib akhtar now. -well, i guess we don't have a choice. devender, are you there? get him! get him! hold him, man! -hold him, hold him! help! let me go! grab his feet! no one's coming to save you! -oh, no! what happened, darling? you look so cute! see, this is how the big guys celebrate! they don't eat the cake... they smash it on you! -get that? you've turned the poor guy into a ghost! oh no, the poor thing is about to cry. don't cry. it's a joyous occasion. -because... you've been selected to play! both of us will play together now! drink. no, thanks. drink. -the man of the moment isn't drinking. now don't spoil him. tomorrow is his first match. don't fuck around. just one... -no! we are brothers, like steve waugh and mark waugh. if these guys mess with you, just let me know, i'll fuck them! fuckwit! the party's over. -enough of fun. no. scram! we have a match tomorrow, a meeting as well. so soon? -yes, go on. dwight! please, go. leave. put that there. -good night. not you. sit. go. don't trip. -no way! goodnight! bravo. this is just the beginning. you have a long way to go. -a lot of people toiled to get you selected, you know. so obviously, you have to repay their favour. who are they? those who actually run the entire show, of course! i will introduce you to them soon. -for now, all you must do is... bowl the way i tell you to. okay? don't be afraid to bowl no-balls and wides. if i tell you to concede extra runs, you just need to do it. don't overthink it, this is how the game works. -it's controlled from the very top. i'm only trying to help you. and they are bastards, they can do anything! understand? the sooner you understand, the easier it'll be. -fine? go on then, get some rest. go on, kid. bowl the way i tell you to. don't be afraid to bowl no-balls and wides. -if i tell you to concede extra runs, you just need to do it. i'm only trying to help you. they are bastards, they can do anything! the sooner you understand, the easier it'll be. vayu. -vayu? vayu! ma'am... hey! vayu! -vayu! hello? okay! vayu is missing. please track and find him. -rohini, i can't do this every time. you know it's illegal, right? tanay, he's missed the team meeting again. arvind sir's going to be mad! okay last time, i promise. -we don't have time, tanay. please do it. okay. okay, i found him. he's in the basement parking. -rohini... he's not moving. hello? rohini, where is vayu? he is in his room. i'm with him, sir. -let me talk to him. sir... he's a little unwell. just let him know that the team bus leaves at 4. and if he's not on it... yes sir, he'll be there! -tanay, we need to get to work. we need to get him ready for the match. room service? vayu, get up! rohini... -put him up. vayu, have this! open your mouth. no, no... have it! open your mouth. -vayu... vayu, just chew it. hold him, hold him! cold shower. steam! -cold shower number 2. get in! i'm sorry, i'm... get on the treadmill, now! cold shower number 3. -guys, come on! hey, stop! stop! stop right there! it's me. -vayu raghavan. go ahead! okay? drive... speed up! vayu raghavan? -fuck! i'm really sorry, i was a bit... you're dropped from the team, vayu. what...? no, no... it won't happen again! -i missed the bus by just a minute. please... you do realise it's not about you missing the team bus. i don't care about your personal life as long as you're committed to the team. but i am committed to the team. -really? then what did you take last night? i just know about these old guys like... coke, hash, weed, acid... but these days, there are quite a few folks to hang out with, right? so? -who was keeping you company? those who forget why they're in the game in the first place, are those whom the game forgets. remember? come rain or shine, it never made a difference. we were out playing cricket. -with that passion, even those with little talent end up playing at the national or international level. but with fame, money and recognition, half of them lose their way. but the committed ones never lose that passion. nothing can come between them and their cricket. they know this game is cruel. -one mistake could finish their careers. you're not bigger than the game. and if you are really sorry, then show it to us. take this punishment as a bullet to your heart and prove it that you can turn around. promise yourself and your cricket -that this will never happen again. mr handa. hi, ms zarina! welcome to chandigarh. thank you. -thank you. i hope our hospitality is up to the mark. no, you are the best host! what you did for us in chennai... i can't thank you enough for that. -a friend in need is a friend indeed. besides, you are helping us out too. huh? you dropped vayu and brought in a new bowler for this match. i guess you keep yourself away from the team selection. -arvind decides the playing eleven. your captain is amazing indeed. he is testing his bench strength against us. prudent, isn't he? but you shouldn't take our team lightly. -it's our home ground, after all. i'll see you after the match. good luck. see you. good luck. -go mavericks! prashant. think of this as your first and last match. yes, sir. and prove that no one can keep you out from this team. -not even i... yeah? come on! here we go! officer jukes, i'm with the interpol... -serious financial crime agency. monsieur clios had a safe room installed. the safe code has 8 digits. what is it? i don't know that. -well, who does? only christos. the estate, the clios foundation and all the holdings of the clios bank and family are to be frozen pending a criminal investigation. is my husband really dead? that's insane! -you can shoot. i didn't expect that from someone like you. welcome here. i think you were right about the yacht. that it wasn't an accident and i think we can help each other, share what we know. -i found this in constantine's things. i think it says... elena. she's the only survivor from the explosion. do you know her? -i want to know what kind of business my husband did with your father. whatever it was, if my father was involved it would have been malignant. i see it in you now... that look. what look? -dolor de mistura... revenge! transcribed by uncle andy - are you still using the master bedroom? i can... -stay where i am. no, no, it's fine. you can have it. therese will move my things in the morning. georgina, -i can't imagine what you must be feeling right now and i know that being stuck in this madhouse won't help, um what i'm trying to say, rather inelegantly, is, um... i'm happy you're here. we're not all mad. i know it really... seems that way and all the posturing that goes on is just clios bravado. -it's what passes as motion around here. but, we don't all feel that way. some of us actually... feel. whatever you need, just ask. -i'm glad you're here but i'm good. benny, where were will we meet? probably best right now because i'm going to swing by and see you well, cancel them. i need to see you. -thank you. probably the things i'm gonna do when i... listen, i gotta run. i'll see you in a bit. -did you want something? we need to talk. can't be easy, right? being the strong one when everything's going to shit. i don't have time for this. -i want to help. i don't need your help. we need to work together. i barely know you. i think your father was murdered. -i need to find out why. murdered? i just need to get into the safe room. unbelievable! you have no right to stop me! -it's a clios matter. what's in the safe room is our business, not your's. what are you trying to hide? ever wonder why dad never gave you the code? he made me promise not to give it to anyone, especially not... -to... what? the gold digger? especially not to you. perhaps, judah thought that his wife would discover the truth. -perhaps, he wanted her to. robert? that forger of yours... i need to talk to him. what do you mean you can't? -you can't or you won't? i'm running out of options here. christos won't give me anything! the level of deception in this family i... i can't trust anyone! -my husband is dead. you don't get to decide what i know and what i don't know! alright, text it to me. can't vouch for the taste but it's warm, at least. thank you for being so quick to take up my invitation, mr. clios. -we asked your father along here a year ago. well, maybe you forgot to include an rsvp. well, we should get started. there's a great deal to cover. the brandeis art transactions, the cayman loans and various financial instruments that give us cause for concern. -where do you think we should begin? we advise our client not to engage in this line of questioning unless you can provide concrete evidence of some wrongdoing, otherwise, this is a monumental waste of mr. clios' time. ok, fine. our people are making good progress with -constantine's money laundering trail, but it will take time. and the longer it takes, the longer the bank stays closed. once again, we advise our client not to engage in this line of... there are tens of thousands of pages of documents we've requisitioned from your office. boxes... -hundreds of them. yeah, well, i hope you have a good filing system. is that what you came here to say? you telling me you won't even talk to me about john brandeis? on behalf of our client, we would suggest that you direct queries on the subject of john brandeis in the direction of john brandeis. -or you could show us some evidence. until then, we will not respond. and this meeting is adjourned. really is bad. you forged a painting for my husband. -no, no, no! i just want to talk. please. well? your work has a certain energy. -i'm glad you like it but i'm afraid i know nothing about your husband or any forged painting. do you know who i am? i'm georgina clios... of the clios foundation. -i've heard of you, yes. but i haven't heard of you. lucas... carlssen? is that why you got into this line of work? -get out! how many paintings did you forge for my husband? i don't have to tell you anything. one word from me... -and no gallery will touch you. who do you think you are? you stuck-up bitch! spending money for entitled rich fucks! sometimes, that's true, yes but success requires talent. -maybe you need to try harder. get the fuck out of my... you're not going to shoot me. you're gutless, just like the rest of all the art world phonies around here. you wouldn't know real art if it came... -ok! ok, your husband had the copy made for some oligarch to put on his yacht. ok? really! that's all i know. -hey. georgie, hey! i have known lucas for years! he trusts me! you went behind my back -with constantine. oh, that was business! went behind my back, forged my painting... no, your husband did that. i simply made the introduction. -you make it sound like it was nothing. alright... i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i should have told you about carlssen. -no more secrets. no more secrets. do you mean that? yeah. so, did he tell you anything useful? -he says the painting was for litvinov. but the fake is on my wall which means the real lorain... was on that yacht. 15 million dollars at the bottom of the mediterranean. god! -what a waste! what was constantine doing with litvinov? who knows. he had a safe room installed a few months ago. really! -he never told me about it but i know there's something in there. yeah, so what are we waiting for? i can't get in. why not? fucking christos! -the staff wouldn't dare say a thing. since when did you care? oh, your father might see well, he's not here. he left for work this morning or something. -wait a minute! you want to see my father? yeah, i need to talk to him. oh, my god! that's why you came. -sorry. hey! hey, liv... listen, i will make it up to you. promise. -will you tell your father that i want to speak to him? that depends. impress me. no! absolutely not! -that... no fucking way! that's a terrible idea! and even if it works, are you sure you want to open that box? there is something in there that constantine -didn't want me to see, i know it. exactly! because once you see it, you can't un-see it! some things are best left alone, georgie. robert, you don't understand! -i can't just sit around and wait for these investigations to be over. i have to get there first. this is the only thing i have that they don't have. i will get the family out of the house. you break into the safe room. -i'm sorry but what part of "no fucking way" do you not get? robert, i need to know if i made the worst mistake of my life. and when i get caught, when it goes "tits up"? -you gonna admit to the family and the police just how crazy you've become? you will be fine. blue like cornflower. azure blue. -eveclimb blue. almost. my father had one of his paintings. i like your hair today. you okay? -yeah, i'm fine. we had breakfast together, all 3 of us, my brothers and me. and for a moment, i thought it was nice and then i remembered never was like that. we never sat around the table back then. i just imagined we did. -maybe things are better. yeah. it's not just about power, you have to choose the appropriate serve for the situation. respond to what your opponent puts in front of you. nice! -no, it was poor. i wanted to talk to you about a venture i'm working on. new private equity fund. you're starting a fund? sounding out investors at the moment. -had a lot of interest already, it's a business strategy that offers a great opportunity to generate alpha returns. would you like me to invest? as an early buy-in? 1.5 million euros, you would be a priority client. you are bloody joking, of course. -no. there's an investigation into clio's bank. your reputation is shot to shit. and you're asking me to give you money? -after what constantine did? the investigation will clear my father of any wrongdoing. that's not what i'm hearing. tell me, what was it like knowing your father was a crook? having to carry a secret like that all these years, quite a burden! -i'm not my father. no. he was a crook who misjudged his opponents. serve the same way too many times, it gets predictable. they start to see you coming. -whereas, you're merely a deluded loser, don't ask my daughter for favors again. hey, what's going on. are you okay? so, i was thinking... what if we all went out for dinner tonight, all of us? -all of us? yeah! yeah, why not? when was the last time we went out? no. -well, i know it's not the same but and christos won't even come. he doesn't like you. oh, he will, eventually. we're gonna fix this family, right? -talk it out, like grown-ups. yeah! i'm good. you wanted to update us? yes. -unfortunately, i couldn't get christos clios to talk. he has an army of lawyers that could drag this out for years, the prick. so, myself and the team are pursuing a different line of enquiry, the clios art collection. we've turned up a number of art transactions relating to a john brandeis that may be of interest. -if you study the data illustrations, you see suggested links between brandeis and the clio family. and we get to him via georgina clios. you disagree, commandant delormes? people died on that boat. -forget your pretty pictures and georgina clios. this girl is the key. and you've come up with? john brandeis is our man. getting to miss clios is the key. -excuse me. christos! where have you been? georgina's taking us out for dinner. she's given everyone the night off. -not tonight, i'm busy. come on! it's for the good of the family. we've got to get out of the house at some point show everyone we're pulling together. -i said no! if nothing else, it'll keep georgina happy. adam, i really don't give a fuck about that bitch's happiness don't call her that. -you think you're hurting more than the rest of us? or is it that jump-up execs don't like taking orders? let me tell you something, little brother. the only reason you got where you are is daddy. and he's not here any... -stop it! just for the sake of one dinner, can't we put our usual bullshit aside? fine. 9 pm! don't be late! -robert, we're about to leave. you've got three hours. so, how's your novel going? fine, it's... it's going fine. -you mean you're actually writing something? christos! sorry, go ahead. it explores the negative impact of marketization on contemporary human relationships. -hm, sounds great. hm. yeah, sounds like a real page turner. yeah. you know what? -your dad told me that he used to take you here as kids. really? yeah, he did, when mother wanted us out of her hair. kind of stuffy, you know. -well, dad liked the wine list. wine list... that's not why we came. yeah... and he fancied one of the friend-of-the house girls. -no way! oh, yes. he's have them set the table, check baby adam with his coat shut up! -then he would go to one of the private rooms with the girl... christos! no, no, it's okay. i want to know these things. -why? because i'm a masochist. were there other women like that? i mean, more recently. you mean: -since you were married? no, he wasn't having an affair. i would have noticed. i don't think so. christos, -can't we talk about something else? sure! how about the safe room? safe room? dad's den. -that place he had fitted in the basement. oh, yeah! well, christos has been in there. christos is the only one who can go in there. he's the only one with the code. -yeah! come to think of it, you use it a lot. what do you do in there? answer the question, christos. she is head of the family, after all. -head of the family? mother, you made it! you weren't expecting me. we're all telling georgina what we know about father. all fun for all the family. -more fun than the will reading, in any case. well, i thought the will reading was great fun. who doesn't like being threatened by law enforcement! what do you think, christos? what would you recommend? -no, no. something special. ah. ah, of course, the '73 romanee conte. very good, sir. -8,000 euros. bring it! of course liquidating what's left of the pound assets, then? what? -only the best for us? well, we do have to be careful. why come here, then? you could have shopped at garfour and cooked us all some hamburgers. don't fucking decant it, just... -you know, this domain is overrated, it doesn't warrant this kind of markup. want a fucking discount? you wouldn't have the balls to act like this if dad were still here. well, if dad was still here, -i wouldn't need a fucking discount. i want a fucking discount! réduction, s'il vous plaît! i want to go home. réduction, s'il vous plaît! -can i come with you? ada, i think it's better if you go home with your mom tonight. no! i want to come with you. georgie, please let me come with you. -ok, okay. i'm very sorry to say, sir, but it's declined whose lucky night is it, then? fuck this place! fuck you all! -thank you. yeah. are you in yet? no, i need more time. the meal's over. -what? how long have i got? they're leaving now. ok, it'll be okay. christos, christos! -can i... god. hey, get up. solte! your mother was grateful for the favor i did her. -moving the ingresko account to clios bank when other investors were running scared. yeah, i know. i'm sure she was. well, that makes us business partners now and as such, i'm going to offer you some partnerly advice... quit while you're ahead. -yeah, um, i'm not done yet. in fact, since you're so keen to hand out favors, i want to increase the house maximum bet. ah, favors are for your mother, not for you. -right. you're gonna regret that. really? and why is that? well, interpol has frozen all the bank's assets. -or you haven't heard? yeah, all that money that you put in? good luck getting it all back. adriana... i should have told you i invited mum. -it's okay, really, i'm... i'm just sorry it had to go that way. it's not your fault. we just messed up. every family is messed up -in their own way. not this bad. it was nice of you to try, though. you really didn't have to. what's your family like? -it was just me and my dad. you don't talk much about your dad. he passed away. sorry. it wasn't easy for him, raising a daughter alone. -one time he took me to the philadelphia museum of art and left me there because he couldn't afford a babysitter. really? yes, really. i was 12 but i spent the whole afternoon looking at a monet. at the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. -so, in some ways, i guess he gave me my love of art. i'll always be grateful to him for that. 20 to 19 at the bank, blackjack. the house wins. -thanks for the ride. oh, if you ever want to talk, i'm here. ok. thanks. -is something wrong? no, no, it's just been a long day. no. you're good at this, you know. you should have kids. -can you stay with me until i fall asleep? sure. sweet dreams. thank you, you too. place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets. -place your bets. it's way past his bedtime. i'll deal with him. christos! hey, what are you doing here? -i figured this place might be on the list. what are you doing? i'm reviving our fortunes. a chip, my chip. can't you close this down? -the wager's legit. you pig! i need more credit. how did you become vice president of anything? because he believed in me. -adam! i want to know, you got some cash on you? come on, bro! maybe it's not your night. come on. -of course it's my night, okay? i know what i'm doing. who the fuck is that? is he alright? our sleeping beauty's going to regret this one in the morning. -of to his hidey hole. oh, no, no, no, no you don't. get off me! christos! fine! -ok. there you go. right, well, i'm going to go to bed. me too. -good night. good night. you never did have any class. business is business, irina. how much is he in for? -six hundred thousand. he doesn't have that. what is this really about, jakob? i know about the asset freeze. so your punishing -christos to punish me? no. i'm entitled to be angry. when you took my account, you knew the authorities were coming. you did. -i didn't know about the investigation. but this is what i do know. i know your investment is safe. and i know the investigation will end because it will get to nowhere. constantine's dealings were as murky as the sea. -they'll never get to the bottom of it. everything my husband did, everything he said was intended to obscure the truth, to make bad things sound good. in his world, up was down, black was white, and the bank was merely leveraged. -but in the end, "leveraged" was just a respectable word for debted and debt is bad. i'm alive. should i be dead? -hello, this is robert. please leave a message and i'll get back to you. what? what is it? the six hundred thousand, it disappears. -what? cara! transcribed by uncle andy - previously on "claws"... what's up? -desna, i'm in. mandy: i'm gonna find you the best salon in town. roller is missing. uncle daddy: -they found him in a swamp, floating' on a goddamn piece of fiberglass from his boat. we gonna get out from underneath all of this mess. you're a husser, boy. you're family. you don't owe that man shit. -oh, no, no! i-i-i thought the coombses were in tallahassee. he had training today. i had to cancel it 'cause he saw our old foster parents. which ones? -the bad ones. these people treated us like animals. bryce figured out who killed roller. seriously? dr. ken murdered roller, and uncle daddy wants me to kill him. -kenneth had nothing to do with this. dr. ken: what the hell? ! wait! -hey! aah! pick up the phone. pick up the goddamn phone. bryce: -hi, it's bryce. leave your positivity after the beep. shit. shit. chicken's coming home to roost, baby. -get out! it's about to be show time at the palmetto, baby! bryce. jenn, i think bryce already got to ken. oh, no. -yeah. kenneth's car is still at the restaurant, but he's not there. where would bryce have taken him? uh... whenever uncle daddy has some dirt to do, he, uh, goes to the swamp over near edgemont. -okay. ‭be outside in two minutes. aah! oh, my god! oh, my god! dr. ken: -nam-myoho-renge-kyo. nam-myoho-renge-kyo. let me out! help! please, please. -don't do this. please. please. please. aah! -aah! please, i'm begging you. please. my cousin is a huge exporter of carpets. i can get you one wholesale. -i don't want your shitty rugs. okay. i'll get it for you free. just shut the hell up. wait, what? -bryce, is that you? be quiet. why the hell are you doing this? is this 'cause i cracked on roller? it's because you killed him, you asshole! -roller? are you kidding me? i would never murder anyone. shut up and walk! goddamn it! -bryce? ! bryce! kenneth! bryce! -shit! over there. bryce! aah! "out of your deepest pain will come your greatest gifts, but this can only happen when you take control of the meaning." -deepak chopra? are you kidding me? tony robbins, bitch. you think i'm not gonna find you? think again. -that's my baby brother, you shit. you can't hide, ken. i'm gonna find you sooner or later. ken! desna! -bryce! bryce! kenneth! i'm over here! dr. ken: -desna, i'm over here! baby? desna! i'm over here, desna! shit. -baby, baby, baby, ‭baby, baby, he didn't do it. yes, he did. no. don't you move. bryce, bryce, listen to your wife. -dr. ken didn't kill roller. he was with me that night. bryce, he only got the gun because he was afraid of being robbed. shut up, all right?

"ooh, roller had problems with his drug dealers." we needed to say something. -no, you needed to keep your pie hole shut! and why in the hell did you take $50,000 from his safe? because i thought we were supposed to make this look like a robbery, and now it does. boom, problem solved. so your csi instincts prompted you to be that damn stupid, huh? -don't you realize that the more you lie, the easier it is for them to be on to us? don't you act all innocent, desna. what? you're the one who took the money out of roller's duffel bag in the living room. listen. -there was at least $20,000 in there. look, girl, let me tell you something. let me tell you something. i saw you. so, if this is about splitting the coin, honey, we can talk. -we're not equals, dumb-dumb. okay, and i'm not your bitch. are you clicking back?

huh? you want me to squeeze your neck? hey, sugar. polly, what the hell are you doing here? -sit down. i insist. get the eff out of my house. what is wrong with you? you know, it wouldn't take but a minute to peel a bitty thing like you. -now take a seat like a lady. okay. now, i hope you like vanilla frosting. it's organic. i'd like for you to tell me why you're here. -i have fantastic ‭perception skills, pretty baby. your long-winded soliloquy at the clinic, mixed with your general inability to make eye contract plus your constant need to embellish the details have made you very suspect. why can't you just talk like a normal person? see? you pretend to be a dumb-dumb because it lets you hide. -yeah, but i know that there are synapses firing off in that pretty little head of yours and you're smarter than we think. if whatever screwed-up thing you did gets desna in trouble, i will cut a bitch. are we clear? polly, i... -answer the question. are we clear? yeah. mm-hmm. we're... -we're clear. good. now, eat up. ooh, they're still warm from the oven. be a shame if they got cold. -see? it's good, right? mm-hmm. deanie?

actually, it's not. -see, i was driving from the corner store to get a lotto ticket, 'cause you know, it's over 100 today, and i just saw your brother. he is up on a billboard on university highway wildin' out. listen, if you don't want to see him all shot up on the 6:00 news, you need to get down her with a quickness. what the hell? tell your brother to look over here so i can snapchat some shit. -dean! what are you doing? i hate them! i hate them! dean, i know, but this is not how you handle it! -they should die! dean, i know you're frustrated, baby, and i know you're confused, but come down and let's breathe this out. no! no! dean, the doctor said that, when you're frustrated, we should talk about it! -but they broke the law! they hurt us! they shouldn't be here! this... this... -this is our home! baby, we can't control where anybody else lives! but... but... but come down and let's talk about this. -virginia was asking about you! virginia was...?

girl, if the presson fits. hey, honey, we all know that dean is your whole life, but there are highfunctioning autistic adults who live in group homes. so do crazy people who make meatballs out of their own shit. -okay. ‭desna... well, i'm not doing it, y'all. stop. i'm not gonna do it, okay? -there's no individual attention there. it's just like going in a foster home. unless you hit the jackpot, you stuck with people who treat you like shit. i just got to get dean away from here. this is the place you saw today? -yeah. it's not as cool as the last one. yeah, where's the chandeliers and the big old throne chairs? maybe it's at the bitch store with all y'all's attitude. damn! -i thought we were running away from uncle daddy to the promised land. this looks like some hole in the wall where they traffic girls and give happy endings to cops. ooh, another revenue stream. how about that? des... -you always told us not to lie to you. you are better than this. okay, well, this is all we got. damn it. what? -what is it? uncle daddy. "i need to see you and saigon right now." i'm gonna go with you. my family is tripping lately. what's going on, clay? -well, let me just cut to the chase, 'cause i don't like to chase, but i do like to cut. my boy here talking to that arab over at the bigandtall shop. hassan? yeah. hassan, that's his name? -now, hassan said that, on the day my baby boy was murdered, that he saw you two ladies, and you were on each other like butter on a bowl of hot grits. we... we had a disagreement. well, we heard it was a little more than that. it was a fight. -over roller. who i understand was dipping both of you... deeply. was he now? it was over a lot of things, clay. -well, the guy from ‭the messianic jewish center said you beat virginia up pretty bad. and when she got in her car, you said, "stay away from him." is that true, desna? i don't... i don't remember. -i mean, what are y'all getting at? what do you think we're getting at? we're just trying to figure out who killed roller here. well, it sure as hell wasn't them. jennifer, don't. -you are letting uncle daddy and his okidoke ideas mess with your head. watch it there now, girl. okidoke? my name ain't oki or doke. first dr. ken, now my best friend? -she's the godmother of your goddamn children. you better slow your roll, there, blondie. she better, before i pop her in the face. mama. i'm trying to figure this whole thing out. -saigon here told me some story straight out of "true detective"... season one. and i'm trying to paint a picture. now, i know my roller was into drugs. i know that. -he liked to party. so i'm thinking maybe he got a little beef with his candy man, and he's the one who killed him and took that $50,000 out of his safe. well, he did say he was having trouble with his drug dealers. you got a name? um, ii don't remember. -well, you best start remembering, 'cause that cockamamie story you told me is starting to stink. i'm telling you the truth. you best be. now y'all get yourself gone. you're starting to make me mad. -come on. hey, baby. unhunh, you should be ashamed of yourself. why don't you stay at uncle daddy's house until you get your mind right? i don't want the kids coming down with your stupid. -jennifer, you better get back over here and apologize to my son. you cannot talk to him like that. jennifer! did you hear me? baby, come here. -come here. come here, baby. it's okay. those hussies know more about roller's death than they're letting on. i feel it. -i feel it in my bones. damn. i just talked all that shit and left my cigarettes inside. what the hell is wrong with you, china doll? you're like a goddamn fortune teller without a store front. -"ooh, roller had problems with his drug dealers." we needed to say something. no, you needed to keep your pie hole shut! and why in the hell did you take $50,000 from his safe? because i thought we were supposed to make this look like a robbery, and now it does. -boom, problem solved. so your csi instincts prompted you to be that damn stupid? don't you realize that the more you lie, the easier it is for them to be on to us? don't you act all innocent, desna. what? -you're the one who took the money out of roller's duffel bag in the living room. listen. there was at least $20,000 in there. look, girl, let me tell you something. let me tell you something. -i saw you. so, if this is about splitting the coin, honey, we can talk. we're not equals, dumbdumb. okay, and i'm not your bitch. are you clicking back? -actually, i am. this little bitch. she can't be worse than my motherinlaw. did you hear her screaming in there, like a wild woman? is everything all right, baby girl? -get the hell out! get out! you think you actually gonna get up out of here? that's exactly what i think, roller. i'm getting my salon and i'm getting out from underneath your family's thumb. -you best believe that. and you can't haunt me anymore. ‭shut up! you want me to squeeze your neck? you want me to squeeze your neck? -hey, sugar. polly, what the hell are you doing here? sit down. i insist. get the eff out of my house. -what is wrong with you? you know, it wouldn't take but a minute to peel a bitty thing like you. now take a seat like a lady. okay. now, i hope you like vanilla frosting. -it's organic. i'd like for you to tell me why you're here. i have fantastic ‭perception skills, pretty baby. your longwinded soliloquy at the clinic, mixed with your general inability to make eye contract plus your constant need to embellish the details have made you very suspect. why can't you just talk like a normal person? -see? you pretend to be a dumbdumb because it lets you hide. yeah, but i know that there are synapses firing off in that pretty little head of yours and you're smarter than we think. if whatever screwedup thing you did gets desna in trouble, i will cut a bitch. -are we clear? polly, i... answer the question. are we clear? yeah. -we're... we're clear. good. now, eat up. ooh, they're still warm from the oven. -be a shame if they got cold. see? it's good, right? deanie? you scared me yesterday. -sorry, des. i know you're in a lot of pain about what happened to us when we were younger. and... i look at this scar every day and remember that, but we got to move on. why... -why didn't you let me draw the other testicle on their faces?

who... who did this to him? dirty mothers. ran some highend realestate office across the state, dealing drugs ­out of every one of them. -someone's conscience got the best of them and they tipped off the police. luckily, i got some cops on the tit, and they, gave me a head start. my god. listen, i just... i just wanted to say sorry if this investigation caused you any pain or hardship. -and give my regards to virginia, as well. my nephew used to say, "it's a new era, y'all." shit. who found them? was it bryce? -did he do it? don't cry, baby, don't cry. don't cry. don't cry. don't cry. -no! no! dean. deanie, i... i am so sorry for what they did to you. -i wish i had known back then. they're not gonna be able to hurt you anymore. hohow do you know? i know. i ju... -i just know. it's time to put all the... the pain behind us... the coombses, roller, all of it. i need you to know ­that we're safe now, baby. yeah. yeah. -help me. help me. help me. help... help me. -mr. emerson. no, i'm roller. you're alive. i need water. who are you? -i'm your bleeding heart of love, mr. emerson. welcome to tuscany. you're finally home. i need help. that hurt. -yeah, it hurts. but the fact that i feel anything at all is what's blowing my mind. think that's the point. all right, that's enough. well? -unbelievable. it's like the real thing. i could even smell the sweat. but i-i felt strangely cold, though. well, i tried to make the simulation as real as possible, and since you always leave the air-con on in the base, -i exaggerated it. kind of like a silent protest. that was so realistic. previously on "marvel's agents of s.h.i.e.l.d."... daisy: -it seems radcliffe is keeping our team alive in this framework. so we have to hook up with our people and find out where on earth their bodies are being held. and rescue them. lincoln. ward. -don't forget this. you were the director of s.h.i.e.l.d. and now you're trapped in a virtual prison, and i am here to wake you up. put that away before we both get arrested. yes, i'd like to report a subversive. -a woman with a s.h.i.e.l.d. id. really? i want any and all assets in the area on this. hydra is after you. we have to get somewhere safe. -ladies. is she your source in the resistance? ward, i have nothing to do with the resistance! well, i do. fitz: -good evening, madame. leopold. these... subversives... apparently, they've got a mole inside hydra. coulson... remember me. -you're the closest thing i have to family. daisy? so, we're both from the "real world," we're s.h.i.e.l.d. agents, our bodies are being held captive, and this is all a virtual prison, built to keep us sedated. am i missing anything? -no, that's about the gist of it. i knew i wasn't crazy. hydra lies about everything. the news? it's all fake. -take the cambridge incident. it was a setup. that girl shouldn't have been at that school in the first place. where we're from, she died. this never happened. -hey, mr. coulson, my homework was done, i swear, but then my dad made me... amy, we've been over this. until first bell, this is my time. right. okay. -geez. sorry. it's okay. hydra used cambridge to take control, in the name of law and order... to justify everything. it wasn't supposed to be like this. -i knew if anyone would understand, it'd be you. i would've figured it out a long time ago if it wasn't for the mind-control soap. yeah. wait. what? -that blue soap everyone uses? hydra loads it up with chemicals. it seeps into our bloodstream. implants false memories into our brains. they want us to believe this is a magical place. -but don't worry, i'm clear. i make my own soap now. no, i think that you're talking about project tahiti. they messed with your head a little bit... why don't we put the soap theories on hold just for one second, okay? -yeah? we got a problem. something big's going down over here. they're sending a unit to pick up your teacher friend. you're gonna need a substitute. -come on. don't quit on me. not now. not now. how did you beat me? -girl: the human brain peaks as early as age 24. face it... you're slowing down, dad. oh, is that right? well, tell me, show-off, what'd you use for an electronic speed control? -well, i sort of found something by school, in the park. a hydra drone? maybe i borrowed a part or two. hope, you know better. we don't mess around with those guys. -it was all crashed and messed up. i made sure no one was looking... no, no, we stay off hydra's radar, we keep our heads down, and follow their rules, always. always! i know. -i'm really, really sorry, daddy. it's okay. it's okay. come here. just want you to be more careful, all right? -i tell you what. i'll take the drone parts back later, and then you and i can try to get mine working together. but you got to promise to go easy on your old man. no promises. no promises? -no? no? get out of here. go on. go get your bag. -we'll be late for the bus. all right, sparkplug... 10 o'clock. easy... harley-davidson. engine? -twin cam, 88. ooh! that's my girl. keep your head down. do what they say. -i'm right here with you. move it, move it! line up! ids out! you know the drill. -let's get them out... now! got to be contraband. they busted my neighbor for a laptop last night. the drone... it's in my bag. -what? i was gonna take it back myself so you wouldn't get in trouble. i'll handle this. we've got a runner. freeze. -man: get him! hands behind your back! he's on the list... potential inhuman. take him away. -it's okay. it's okay. hi. oh, hi. it's me again... -phil coulson. i called hydra on you. my bad. water under the proverbial bridge. i'm so glad to see you, sir. -apparently, in the real world, and here, he makes his own soap. how about that. coulson: i do. -you should, too. daisy: okay. we need to move. hydra came back for coulson. -ward warned us away, but we barely made it out. i don't love it, either, but this is the second time he's helped us. and so i hate to say this, but i think we can trust him. until we can't. betraying those closest to him is his signature move. -for now, we just need to get somewhere safe. ward set up a time and place for us to meet the resistance. it's a whole password-exchange thing. bona fides? i always wanted to do that. -or, i've been thinking... what if i reached out to fitz? simmons, we've b... we've been over this. if you were able to get through to coulson, then surely i could get fitz to remember me. -fitz is not the same. he's different here. this reality may be upside down, but fitz is still fitz. he's still a good person. who happens to be second in command at hydra. -yeah, which means he has resources, not to mention framework expertise, which we'll need to get out of radcliffe's hydra snow globe. holden radcliffe, the scientist? i... i-i saw something a while back, and i cut it out. i... -here it is. "famed hydra scientist working on inhuman cure." something felt off about him. do you know him? do we know him? -why would radcliffe be in here? i don't know. but think about it. he built the framework, which means... he can help us get out. -coulson: yeah, one catch. nobody's seen him since this photo was taken. you guys meet up with ward's contact. i'll go back to the triskelion and get a location on radcliffe. -daisy, it's too dangerous. i'll be fine. i'll be in and out. no one will even know i'm there. man: -it's only a matter of time before we find her. we've detained several inhuman sympath... dismissed, agent. all this for one subversive? why won't you let me help you? -i need you focused on your work right now. project looking glass is ahead of schedule. tell me what's really going on. it's fine. i'm handling it. -ophelia, i know that look. you're worried. who is she? no one. she doesn't matter. -she's plotting against me. i need to find her and expose anyone who's helping her. i'll send my team. consider the threat eliminated. you'd really do anything for me, wouldn't you? -i'd cross the universe for you. what the hell are you doing? i got a lead on someone who could take down this whole place. it's not safe here. i think they're on to me. -this will go a lot faster if you would quit mouth-breathing on me. madame hydra's restricted files? you have lost your mind. the soap made me do it. let's go. -may: hold it! skye, you need to come with us. i'll take may, you take the others. when we get to the door... -get this to simmons. she'll know what to do. skye... i'll be fine. go. -according to ward's intel, the drone should leave in five seconds. coulson: this ward guy... where we're from, he's a friend of ours? uh... he was. didn't end well. -i take it you're our contact? for the season, it's been unusually rainy. rain or shine, the man with the umbrella is always ready. what? did i say it wrong? -hands out front. wrists together. honestly, is this really necessary? oh, cool! i'm jeffrey mace. -welcome to s.h.i.e.l.d. sorry about the hoods, but trust is a luxury these days. that being said, ward vouched for you, so i'm happy to provide you sanctuary. thank you, sir. my name is jemma simmons, and this is... -phil coulson. wow. i can't believe it's really you. the patriot! the inhuman leader of the resistance. -he's kind of a big deal! uh, jeffrey's fine. the patriot's a little much for my taste. man, i dreamed about what your suit would look like. i made a few sketches, but this is actually way cooler. -this place... what happened here? for about 70 years after world war ii, nothing. no one even knew it was here. but then, a couple years back, a brave agent named billy koenig gave his life getting me the location. -it's taken all that time just to get it operational again. got to say, the whole rebel alliance aesthetic's really working for me. i'll take that as a compliment. i think? this way, please. -the early days were tough. a lot of good agents died for this. agent burrows. sir, it's bad out there. and, uh... we lost agent cook. -you've already got her for the dock. i didn't see her rig it. you saw it rigged. it's not the same. but she did it. -that's hearsay. i need a confession. i can't breathe. here. i can't fucking breathe. -just drink some water. you faggot fuck! you fucking turned me! i... you fucking turned me! -stay down! huh? i found you. jeff city. you were arrested for picking up a 19-year-old male prostitute. -i did not fucking turn you. now you work with me... or everyone's gonna know about it. now i'm gonna get up. i advise you to remember you're dealing with a federal agent. sign them. -permission to bug your trailer. a garbage truck? yeah. she was taking the open house sign to the front of the yard. my god. -it's my fault. i picked a fight. no. i did. and... just to mess with her and... and childish. -it was... sam. and i fired her. you fired... yeah. -do not blame yourself. i'm never gonna be able to take out the garbage without thinking about her. should you go home? i can... i can cover things here. -yeah. okay. are you hungry? have you eaten today? i can... -i can go pick something. i can bring it by. those cheese hash browns from the pancake house. you love those. uh... you could do. -anything. i'm gonna need some of that money back from marty. it's... my mom had a lot of requests for her funeral. those are gonna add up. of course. -i'll... i'll talk to marty tonight. thanks. mm-hmm. you just let me back in until the end of the week. -you gotta be fucking kidding me. true or false? you have no idea what it is that i do or who i do it for. that is not the point. right? -you've never helped me and i will make sure you never would help me. you never signed anything. you never even handed me a goddamn pen. which means there will be nothing okay? right? and it would be difficult for you to prove that you didn't conspire. -i made it very easy for you to prove your innocence. what are you doing? your iphone? give me my phone. hold on. -one second. this is almost over. rachel... or i'm gonna come for you. you understand what i'm saying? i will kill you. -i will throw your body in the lake and no one will find you. no one will know. come on. the whole family dies. just till the end of the week. -and that's it? yeah. bury the hatchet? thanks for not telling your dad about the other day. guess i was jealous. -why? it seems like you're more interested in laundering for the mexicans than helping your kin. i told you that wasn't the case. you still want to kill him? russ. can't you talk about anything else? -i'm... i'm just saying. you tried once. it didn't work. you gonna try again? -i have shit to fold. you fucking happy? i did what you asked. who the fuck is this? your handler. -he'll be taking over all fbi interaction from here on out. handler? you can reach me at this number. what the fuck you talking about? i'm done. -i did it. you heard ruth. she admitted it. you talked and she pretty much listened. nothing she said today was explicitly incriminating. -her role in the laundering process. i'm not talking to you. you're only talking to him from now on. fuck you! go back. -do it again. fuck. you idiot. what? tell me you didn't. -i got it done. you're a fucking animal. i don't trust her. i don't trust rachel. we're gonna have to. -she'll fold. all right? and that's including the money that i already cleaned out of eugenia's account. god knows what happens if sam keeps asking for it. just roll it forward. i got it. -i know. i got it. then we'll be out of rachel's hair. don't have to worry about it. we're gonna need this place when del sends more. we'll find new businesses. -jesus fucking christ. it just never ends. don't know what you want me to say. i'm worried about the $8 million today. i haven't gone on to worry about the fact that the prize for saving our fucking lives only ten times bigger. -do you wanna talk about our fight? huh? no. i said everything i need to say. i just wonder if you heard me. -i heard you. actually. good. would we still be together? i don't know. -thank you for not taking that fbi deal. honestly... please. wendy? shit. -sam. that's all we need. wendy? hi. hey. -buddy. i did a little more thinking last night about my mother's funeral request and i definitely think i'm gonna need that money. really sorry to hear about eugenia. your mother was a real fine woman. thank you. -i gotta advise you that... that oftentimes there are penalties for early withdrawal of funds very expensive. i mean... and also the market took a big dip last week. i don't know if you knew that. i just... okay. -any way you can pay for the funeral with other savings? marty. i know. i know. um... my mother's gone. -i get it. i just think it's not... so just give me my fucking money. please. we're just trying to help. do i... -do i have to get a lawyer? no. listen. let's... sorry. -i don't... i understand. i don't... i don't care if the penalties are gonna be 50 fucking percent. i got an idea. -how about we cover the cost of the funeral? no interest loan. you can pay us back out of the fund after we're done with the penalty phase. that way you don't lose any additional money. it's a great idea. -yeah. you'll pay for it? absolutely. this is an awful time for you. i can't imagine. -i don't want to make it worse by you losing money and... yeah. yeah. let us do this. we want to help. -i'm... please. wendy can go with you to the funeral home and help with the billing. sure. i'll go. sure. -this is better. i'll be in the car. okay. thanks. really appreciate it. -yep. how we gonna pay for this? i'll call the bank. i'll get a credit increase. funerals are what? -ten grand? what is it she wants? it started in puerto rico. a way to show them at their best. mom saw it on good morning america. -000? yeah. i understand she staged homes for a living. loved it. i think. -though. and why is that? oh. my engineers would have to figure out how to suspend the painting in a way that won't topple the corpse. probably a ceiling mount. -yeah. that'll do it. i also worked up a rough estimate of the other items we spoke about on the phone. the full buffet. did you decide on a head count? -between 100 and 150. that many? rotary. to be safe. this is a lot. -she always swore that she'd throw a funeral better than her wedding. pre-tax. and i brought some of these diamonds here to show you. i'm sorry. i'm a little behind here. -what are these? compression preserves our loved ones and keeps them with us. then use heat compression to convert the ashes into a diamond like these. mom wanted me to have it in case i met somebody and decide to propose. hmm. sam? -yeah? will you excuse us for a minute and just let me talk to harry here about pricing? sure. okay. okay. -yeah. harry... it seems to me that some of this pricing just isn't accurate. it is. but surely there's some room for negotiation? not really. -what's the total? 950 with the headstone. what do you need a headstone for? she's a ring. visitation. -visitation. of course. harry? do you have a business partner? just me. -that's gotta be hard. 'cause i was noticing that your... your roof needs to be replaced. and the... the floor in the lobby and the wooden banister need refinishing. you were able to see us immediately. you didn't have any appointments to reschedule. -you don't even have a receptionist. but i suspect it's because... you can't afford one. you're struggling. and it seems to me... you're trying to solve that problem by upselling and overcharging a man in grief... who is my friend. so... what if i had an alternate solution? -i told you. hey. there's no hit man out front. i transferred the last of the eight. we're done? -for now. yeah. we did it. i want one of those. wendy. -cheers. how'd that sam thing go? of course we do. what are you doing? this controller's shit. -you're shit. 'sup? you and me? you guys and boyd go... whoo! -yeah. i'll take a triple. chili cheese fries. ruth... wait a second. i need to know what the plan is with byrde. -what's your deal? finally. you know. he could go to college. you want him saddled with that debt? -you barely care if he goes to high school. he can miss a few days with that brain of his. you do it. but you... you were the one who learned to clean it. that was the whole plan. -get outta my way. no. just say you'll try it again. you're acting fucking weird. just want to make sure you're holding up your end. -kill marty byrde and get his money. i never wanted to kill marty byrde. that was your idea. i don't know why you want to kill him so badly. he's a good guy and a great businessman. how about you kindly get the fuck out of my way? -what? she's not. she's just a... she's just a bitch. fucking plays head games with everyone about everything. -doesn't mean shit. i... i can do this. but don't push so damn hard. you'll blow it. -boyd? thought you wanted food. they can go alone. take my truck. keys are in it. -boyd. where the fuck we going? shut up and get over here. i'm killing him tomorrow. what? -marty. gonna get his money. the fuck you talking about? i'm leaving town. okay? -i thought ruth was taking care of him. ruth ain't doing shit. she's fucking stalling. what's going on? why are we standing out here in the woods right now? -i fucked up. there's feds. they're in town. feds? fbi. -somehow been watching me. they got me. what are you talking about? they got me on conspiracy to... to murder byrde. -what the... how the fuck? yeah. yeah. they had somebody undercover. -that fisherman? they'd cut me loose if i could help them get ruth. ruth? yeah. but... or his boss' boss... -i don't fucking know. ruth. and then they get her to do except with marty. they'd cut her a deal? if she helped 'em. -then do it. no. it... she knows. she fucking knows. i tried to get her to incriminate and she figured it out. -stone cold and then all smiles and shit? she just did that. she knows. shit. they're gonna put me away. -fifteen years. i'm gonna kidnap marty... get his money and kill him. with feds in town? the boys and i will be in canada before they know what happened. i'm coming with you. -boyd... you're my brother. anyway? though? can't we just take the money and get? -we can't. he could tell the mexicans about us. they're gonna kill him anyway. and worse. it's mercy to murder him. -okay. you got that? we'll just tie that up in a sec. we're not expecting any delivery. he is. -'course he is. is that a problem? no. i'll just go ahead and sign for it. can't. -it's gotta be him. jonah? what time is your dad getting back from the funeral? usually? i'll wait. -i need you to get down here. there is a delivery for you. tuck. you okay? i need a favor. -get over here. come on over here a sec. need to talk to you. something wrong? just get over here. -what's up? listen. your uncle and me... come into a business opportunity. requires us to relocate. -business. good business. you wanna go. shit. okay? -so listen. you put a movie on in the trailer when you go back in there. put it on loud. and you start packing. shit you can't live without. -leave the fucking xbox. we'll get you another one. and do not open your mouths when you're in there. though? is someone listening or something? -you do not talk about this. not with anyone. what about ruth? especially not ruth. why not? -three. right? is she coming with us? no! what the fuck? -wy. but she's ruth. why not? 'cause there's shit in this world come on! calm down. -and you're gonna do what i fuckin' say. please? i love these. there. you're set. -have a superstore day. $67.93. what are you doing? we can't talk in there. why the hell not? -dad said. said what? i'm not supposed to be talking to you. what the fuck's going on? dad and boyd got into some business thing and we're leaving town. -what thing? i don't know. i'm guessing not actual business. they took the guns. when are they splitting? -tonight. and you're going with them? i'll let you know where we are when we settle. i gotta get back inside. huh? -my god. how much? fifty mil. how'd it get here so fast? roller skates. -what the fuck do you think? just drove it down from chicago. it's not wrapped. so wrap it. fifty million? -marty. you'll figure it out. make sure it's safe. we can't do it dressed like this. okay? -can you pull this up to that corner cabin? see you in a bit. you're gonna hide it here? i can't use the storage facility. the snells know about it. -but what about rachel? wendy. not with feds in town. we already have to wrap it. skip wrapping it. -just get it out of sight. i can't just stack bills in a wall and call it a day. there's rats. bruce lost 300k in two days to squirrels. but it's gonna take us days with just the two of us. -that's why we're gonna need more hands. no. huh? and it's not a disease. my god. -okay. one more box to go. i'm starving. ten child labor laws right now. all right. -let me hammer this piece in. okay? russ! i'm gonna go check it out. are you all right? -what the hell was that? you smell that? what the fuck is that? my god. fuck! -that's russ and boyd langmore. marty? what? somebody fucked with all the wiring. it's been rigged. -right there. it's rigged. did you do this? you knew that they were coming after you. marty. -both of y'all. i'm calling the cops. put the phone away. you hear me? put the fucking phone away! -whoa! is this one a problem? she's only a problem if you kill her. put the gun down. put the gun down. -she should call the cops. okay? four already this year. this is not a problem. and you call the police. you say it was an accident. -a boat came in a little bit too hot and cut the wires. right? you can't explain that. okay? and don't worry about her. -right? right? yeah. marty. you weren't here tonight. -let's see if you do know how to mind your own business. i'm gonna play witness when you talk to the cops. make sure you get the facts right. she'll be fine. you'll be okay. -right? yeah. go. yeah. del. -there's been some drama. i will call you when i get more information. okay. bye. please. -you guys go brush your teeth. please. we'll be right in. they almost... they could have... -but they didn't. the kids were with us. i know. who could have rigged that dock? did it work? -yeah. what if rachel had gone for a boat ride? the boats are in storage. what if charlotte had gone for a swim? it's too cold to swim. -those are your uncles. i couldn't have them kill you. she did this. you know that. it's exactly how she went after marty. -the game's on. fuck your game. excuse me? calm down. pick her up. -on what? it was an accident. hmm. bullshit. roy. -that's on you. and you gave him another shot because your dick wanted it that way. finally. that's a bad idea. you set this up, a cage for any wolfblood who didn't want to be chipped. -and madoc, one of their own, to lead them in. in or out the cage, you have no friends and nowhere to go. i have all the friends i need. and you've just made a big mistake. never trap an animal in a cage. -you just make them more dangerous. you conspired with humans to destroy our pack. no, no, no, i did this to save us. we went to the city and stood up to the humans. we showed them that we weren't theirs to control. -how long is this going to take? because i need to go and get my mum and selina out. shh. he promised us a paradise, free of humanity, a place where we would never have to see, smell or fear their presence. this is the freedom i sought for all of us who chose the wild life. -you're a traitor. traitor! traitor? the only traitor here is her! she fed you the lie that wolfbloods and humans can live together. -it is that lie that led us to this cage. i used to think like you. but then i saw the wider world and changed my mind. maybe one day you will too. like hartington, madoc has divided us to make us weak. -we cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated like that. humans and wolfbloods survive together, or not at all. get him out of here while we decide his fate. traitor! stop! -stop! i am right about the humans. you will see that in the end. you're an old fool, madoc. and do you know what happens to old fools? -nothing. so what do we do about madoc? tj will decide. what? you challenged him, this treachery means his victory counts for nothing. -you're the new alpha. what? no, no! wait, wait...! this can't be right. -i've got stuff to do. why are you doing this? to stop you trying to start an uprising. did you know blydissiad was a trap? a cage. -no, i didn't. so jana was right, you're just hartington's little puppet. i'm an equal partner in this, in what needs to be done. yeah. that's why he's got you running errands for him. -in your own gym! you'll see things differently in a few days, you'll be back here, training, and everything... here? i'm never coming back here! human or wolfblood, i only train with people i respect. -shall we seal the hole, my alpha? no need. his punishment isn't being trapped, it's having nowhere left to go. you wanted to live in blydissiad? it's all yours. -don't look back. it's what he wants. where did jana go? no, it's not good enough. look, if i don't understand what you're talking about, how do you expect anyone else to? -don't answer that. what if i modernise the myth? maybe throw in some witty tropes, or how about a catchphrase? no, absolutely not! what's a trope? -we stick to the science. the facts and experiments we have actual proof of. people are going to think we're crazy enough as it is. yes, they will, so let's go again from the top. thousands of years ago... -no, no, not you. the science bit, you know, the part we need normal people like me to understand. fine. think of the wolfblood gene as a switch. it can be turned on and off. -like on a dark moon? exactly. but segolia found a way to manufacture this change, using the serum. project genesis proved this was possible because we all share a common ancestor. which is what the myth on the stone was all about. -the project also proved that humans can be treated like switches too. so our human can be switched on and off? not your human, your wolf. but that would mean... everyone's a wolfblood. -well, technically, yes, and technically, no. it's far more complicated than that. katrina? jana? i'm on my way back. -are you with dr. whitewood? i'm a wolfblood. what? ! no, you're not. -jana, it's me. we need to meet. i'm on my way. how long are you going to keep them shackled like that? what difference does it make to you? -it's my gym! and you're getting very well paid for its use. look, i'm not being cruel. your friends aren't prisoners, they're bait. jana's coming for them. -i'll call in extra security. no need. easy for you to say. this gym's all i've got, and if it gets attacked... i said there's no need. -what do you mean? i have it in hand. and if that fails... there's always plan b. why shouldn't we go public? i mean, this is incredible, it'll change the world. -not everyone's as open-minded as you, katrina. look, it will change the world, but who knows if it's for the better? telling the world means telling them everything segolia got up to. full disclosure. which is bad for them, not for us, i mean... all we're doing is telling the truth about those experiments. -we don't work for segolia. imara did. but she didn't know what was going on. she was head of security, so people might not believe that. do it. -tell everyone what you discovered. but don't mention the reason why segolia shut down the project. not yet. not until you have too. okay. -see if you can track down jones, she might be able to help. right. thank you. all of you. whatever happens to me, keep getting information out there. -social media, news, everything. sooner or later, someone will listen. you're not really going to go in there on your own, are you? this is personal now. your fight is out here. -did you bring the de-chipping gun? press the barrel against the skin where the chip went in and pull the trigger. simple as that. thank you. don't forget these. -earplugs? why do you need those? he knows i'm coming. what are you doing here? you didn't think we'd let you go in there alone, did you? -you're supposed to be leading the pack. what, you really think i'm going to stay out here when i know my mum and selina are both in there? we left emilia in charge, she's taken the young and the old into hiding. we're here to fight alongside our alpha, where we belong. look at them. -all bowing to their alpha. so how are we going to do this? you do this by staying away, out of danger. jana... you're kidding, right? -that's an order. stay out of sight. none of you are losing your wolf, not while i'm alpha. if i don't come out of there... then make a decision. we're not really going to obey her, are we? -of course we're not. i've brought you some breakfast. no? okay. excuse my manners, but watching the rest of you get chipped has given me an appetite. -so... on a scale from 1-10... how do you feel your rescue plan went? i see your friends on the outside have been busy trying to persuade the world you and i are the same. how coincidental, project genesis comes to the media's attention... just as humanity... is about to defeat you. what's in those files is the truth, even if you don't want to see it. it's not the truth. -it's proof i'm right. there's more of you out there. wolfbloods in high places, acting against me. this again? there is no conspiracy. -oh, but there is. i've seen it with my own eyes. there's a comrade i served alongside for years. we were on a mission, trapped inside enemy territory. he started getting scared. -"it's natural," i said, "we both are". but it wasn't death he was scared of. it was the moon, a full moon. my friend, my comrade... was a wolfblood. he ran, of course. -well, the wolf did. the following day, a helicopter came to my rescue. i filed my report, told my superior officers what had happened, and they... they kicked me out of the sas. reminding me of the official secrets act, and the... price i'd pay if i broke that oath. -don't you tell me about there being no conspiracy. you wolfbloods... are everywhere. that shouldn't have happened... but it doesn't mean we're trying to take over the world. maybe you already have. -maybe you're just paranoid. which doesn't mean it isn't true. you're forgetting something, hartington. oh, what's that? your phone call to blydissiad. -i never said i was coming to rescue anyone. i said i was coming for you. stop her! no! what's going on? -by order of her majesty's government, this facility is closed. all wolfbloods are to be released, their chips removed, immediately. can you hear us? help! let me out! -let us out! help! robyn? can you hear us? open this door! -you never learn, do you? hear me out first. where's jana? how's your mum and dad? still got their wolf, just. -where is jana? she's gone after hartington. gone after him where? my guess, the water filtration plant. what? -why? he's got a backup plan. what backup plan? something to get rid of you wolfbloods once and for all. the serum, mate. -he's got gallons of it. you have to stop him. bye-bye, wolfbloods. it's not just wolfbloods, you stupid girl. stop! -wait! please! you can't put that serum in the water. i admire you, jana. i really do. -you never give up. listen! what they said about project genesis, it's all true. common ancestors, peace and love, blah, blah, blah. you don't know what you're doing. -i know exactly what i'm doing. we're all going to turn into wolfbloods! except we won't, will we? we tested this on humans. no change. -because you tested it on adult humans, not children. if you put that serum in the water, then human children will change. not just wolfbloods. no! there must be some way round here to shut the water off. -in here! you're lying. a last desperate attempt to save your species. no! no, i'm not! -the segolia research proved that genes are just switches. that serum turns wolfbloods to human, but it does the opposite too. human children will be turned into wolfbloods. that's why they buried the research, to protect your species. don't come any closer. -what are we looking for? i don't know, something to shut all this off. well, there must be a master switch somewhere. if what you say holds any truth, segolia must have experimented... on human children. -segolia paid the scientist off, closed down the project. if you put that in the water supply then every child who drinks it will change. if that were really true, you wouldn't be trying to stop me. of course i would! no-one should be changed into something that they're not. -not wolfblood, not human. i used to believe what you believe. that wolfbloods and humans are a natural enemy. that it's us or you. and then i met a boy called rhydian. -and through him, an alpha called maddy... and her human friends, who cared about me, even though i saw them as the enemy. they taught me that wolfbloods and humans can live together. sorry, jana. even if what you told me about the serum is true... i've learned a different truth. -that in any conflict, there is always collateral damage. casualties of war. no! no! come on. -let's try this. selina! come on. we don't even know what this does! look, we've tried everything else, it's got to do something, surely. -jana! jana. we did it! get in! another producer? -documentary producer. he has done loads for the beeb. but why pick you to present a series on wolfblood history? why not an actual wolfblood, like imara? i mean, she knows her own history. -well, i'm sort of an honorary wolfblood. i mean, we all are, all three of us, aren't we? being part of a pack doesn't make us wolfbloods, tim. well, not yet, anyway. come on, we're going to be late. -what do you mean, "not yet"? rebecca? what are you up to? do you ever wish i was a wolfblood? no. -i do. "responding to the anonymous call, "the police officers found joshua hartington flagging down cars "in a distressed state, claiming he was being chased by a wolf. "if one of you knows anything about this incident, -"kindly contact the aforementioned police station and make a statement. "sincerely yours, commander jones." ooh! she's gone up in the world. "acting head of internal security, wolfblood affairs". -what? ! not one single newspaper mentioned this wolf. so...? so you were out of town yesterday. -helping whitewood with her research. if you don't believe me, ask her. i was with her all day. and if you're looking for suspects, you said that matei didn't get back from blydissiad until late. they were taking down the last fence, and i was not missing that celebration. -besides, when i got home, he told me he hadn't seen selina for a few days. what? well... he thought you were chucking him. what did you tell her that for? -! poor baby! robyn. it was robyn. what? -yesterday, i sent you out to the cash and carry, you were gone for, like, five hours. because you didn't tell me which cash and carry. there are six. sorry! so... who was chasing after hartington? -well, look, it could have been any wolfblood out there. no. it wasn't any wolfblood. emilia. i knew it was her! -madoc. we found it by our springs, near some plastic. it smelt of that serum. hartington poisoned your water supply. no, madoc got to him first. -he saved our pack. how do you know? i drank the water. emilia! you could have lost your wolf! -better me than hafren. how can you say that? because i started this war. i turned against you all. my pack, my alpha. -oh... stand-up. you have nothing to be sorry for, okay? you were brave, you were strong and you were true to your wolf. what? -what is it? the war is over. the anger in me's gone. i left hafren in charge of the pack. i want to come home, matei. -i want to come home! as humans come to wolfbloods to learn a new appreciation of the natural world, some are developing perceptively sharper senses. are they accessing their ancient wolfblood ancestry or is it simply the effect of greater concentration? right now, we just don't know. okay. -one more time. close your eyes. feel nature flowing through you. feel your senses sharpen. feel the wind, feel the earth and the sky. -feel your ancestors, wolfblood and human, howling to you from deep within history. what do you hear? my breathing. the wind. some birds. -everything, i can hear everything! yes! as a miner, you know, you're living on, like, the waves of the ocean, where you get highs and lows. -my first cleanup was a really bad cleanup. i can tell you... i do not want to fail. it would be devastating. i don't know what i'd do. -but mining, there's a lot less guarantees. a lot less. i'm gonna plow right through here. bam! i don't want to end up on the side of the road here, -three crosses sitting here, "this is where the reaper went down." are you kidding me? there it goes. my brother is captain seat. -that's on a shady road right now. what in the captions paid for by discovery communications on the bering sea, the summer mining season has entered the back half. -and despite weeks of grueling, painstaking work, nothing is guaranteed, from fortune to partnerships or even survival. 35 miles east of nome... one hell of a distance out here, guys. -we're almost there. with half the season in the rearview mirror... i mean, this is a long way. and our boat? go to your head. -don't let this captain seat. you're not out to destroy us. captain kris kelly is desperate. to get his family on the fast track to riches... it's only wood and aluminum. -it's very easy to repair a lot of things. but the road will be long and winding. we're gonna drive down there and get, like, a visual of where we're going. so far this summer... -i was wondering if it could be a possibility. if i could get my family on your claim. i just don't think i want to take a chance on you. the kellys struggled to gain access to claims. but even when they have... -i got too many bills to pay. you can't do this. the deals have always seemed to fall apart. i need it back down there, please. bring it back. -now... he's never been on the claim, you know? nobody's worked this claim. the captain has landed. what might be the family's last hope for the season. it's a lot farther than i thought it was. -the cobblestone claim... over 40 miles from nome... where the owner's given them 48 hours. to prove there's gold on the grounds. a hell of a claim you got us on, jay. -hey, look... beggars can't be choosers. if the kellys strike pay dirt, the owner will let them mine the rest of the summer. but if they come up dry, they'll be sent packing. -we've already made our agreement, so we have to there, prospect, and if there's no gold after two days of prospecting, we can move on. that's my agreement for him letting us on there. -let's just go there with optimism. and try to uphold our part of the bargain. look how far this is, man. i don't even get phone service right here. you don't get vhf radio service over here, either, 'cause you're way out. -look, you know what? i come down here, and i look... this looks like death. the treacherous and remote claim. might be more than the kellys. -and their tiny dredge bargained for. this looks like a place. where we're not gonna go back from. you know, i can't even nome from here. look, this is really what you got to do. -to get big gold right now. well, how come no one else is down here. getting big gold then? we're the only guys who want this big gold, so we're the only idiots that are gonna come down here? -we're the only people that can't get on a claim. everybody else can get on a claim. i'm telling you, man. no wonder why. this is like this'll finish us. -i'm telling you. coming down here will finish us. right now, my dad's really working against me, you know? he's pissed that we're even going to waste our time. but i made a deal, -and if i make a deal, i'm gonna stick through with it, and that's just the way it is, you know. you know, i'm the captain now. you're gonna have to honor every deal that i make, and that's just what we have to do as a family to move forward. -we only got to do a day or two of this. but if there's big gold there, we have to figure out a plan. that we can come here all the time. dad? -i don't know. this is dangerous as hell. there's no one else going that far, especially we have a small boat, and he wants to take us farther than all the big boats. -are willing to go. see those on the hill right there, those crosses? those are the last dredgers. that brought their boat down here. that's what happened to them right there. -i don't want to end up. on the side of the road here, three crosses sitting here, "this is where the reaper went down." 40 miles west, on the outskirts of nome... kind of a low moment for me. -haven't had a payday all summer. at this point in the season, i'm, like, getting pretty close to being destitute. with nothing to show for his dredging thus far, zeke tenhoff is a miner with nowhere to mine. -i've been going on long. expensive dredge-destroying prospecting missions, and none of it's paid. these sledge island and sinnuk river trips, i mean, i've just been going broke all summer, -not finding gold out of these places, and it's heartbreaking. hopes were high at the start of the season... whoa! as zeke and business partner emily riedel set out. for remote claims... -i can't believe i finally got myself here. with a golden sparkle in their eyes. but week after week... i'm looking for gold. i'm not seeing any gold here. -they came up empty... where's the gold? ! dude, we got to take a break, maybe go separate ways completely. -for the rest of the season. and the two called an end to their partnership. now, with bills continuing to mount, zeke is going it alone. i'm really trying to find some gold somewhere new. -what's in my best interest right now. is to go out to an area where i'm pretty sure i'm gonna at least find something. and get out of the red. i got to go somewhere else. -i got to... there's got to be somewhere to look! and the key to salvaging his season. might be right under his nose. there's the nome river. -there was tons of gold there. then, like, right in front of nome is the snake river. tons of gold coming out of that river. jess creek, thousands and thousands. and thousands of ounces right there. -the next river down is the penny river, and it's possible that there's a bunch of gold. in front of the penny river, and nobody's really found gold in the penny river. because maybe nobody's really looked. -that much in front of the penny river. but what's happened is that people go down, they stop and they're like, "gold's great here! not gonna keep going west." and maybe i'm, like, one of the first people. -that's gonna actually try to go a little further west. and go to the penny. i need a payday right now, and i think the likelihood of there being. at least enough gold for a cleanup or two, -i think that's pretty likely at the penny. zeke is venturing 10 miles west of nome. to the mouth of the penny river. hoping the untapped grounds can deliver fortune. on his first solo mission. -i need to get some money in my pocket, and i need to do it in a place. that's not quite as far away as sledge island. it looks like, to me, that there might be some good gold. -just offshore of the penny river. but for zeke, mining on his own is a whole new ballgame. there's definitely a lot of hazards that go into dredging. when you're out there by yourself, i'm gonna be going, like, 10 miles down the coast by myself, -it is definitely taking a big risk. all aboard. ready to roll. without any backup or any crew whatsoever, zeke heads out onto the unpredictable bering sea. -our entire career completely sits on our ability. to continue to find gold. my career as a miner is completely at risk right now. back out on my own. in nome's small boat harbor... okay, forward! -the newest bering sea miner. is looking to turn his season around. we got a lot of hours in me. so, we got to get out there. i am a miner! -rookie george young came to nome with spirits high. as he set out to make his mark as a miner. first-time celebratory cigar. i got a big debt to pay off. i owe my brother $70,000. -and i got to get some gold to start paying that off. that's right. but he quickly find out... buck and a half. the prospecting game... -is even tougher than he imagined. my brother presented me the opportunity. to buy his dredge from him, and i've got to get out of that debt. the only way to do it is get in the bottom. -of that ocean and get that gold. george, you got a boat coming in on the right. on the right? before george can hope. to get out of debt to his brother... -i see him. i see him! he'll first have to get out from under his thumb. i don't need eight captains, guys. i have my brother dave out on the ocean with me. -he might offer up opinions. on what he thinks might be going on, but, you know, i don't want to be. little baby georgie on the side. that's not what i'm about. -i'm not about being babysat. i live by myself, and i'm doing just fine. i definitely want to prove to my brother. and to everybody that i can do this. today, george is heading. -to yet another of his brother's claims, hoping this one will finally be his ticket to a big score. here we go! gonna find some gold, baby! after performing all the dives. -for his team so far this season... i really don't like you spitting in my mask, joel. the captain is letting crew member joel pelegrino. take a swing at the nozzle. all right, i'm on the bottom. -bottom looks awesome. i got nice, big rocks, nice, big cobble. let's see some gold! found the nozzle. let's see what we got right here. -joel gets started down below, while up top... so i leave tomorrow at 8:30, and you have to listen to me, george! the team is about to lose a key player. -okay. i'm serious. george and dave are 2 of 10 siblings, and over the last few years, they've already lost 3 brothers. -i think the tragedies, you know, that we've had, it made us more protective over each other. and it, you know, in my brother's words, is he don't want to lose me on his watch. you know, if something was to happen to me, -he would feel liable. we got to outlive ma, right? that's our goal. that's my goal. just let these guys dive. -i want to be a productive part of the crew. well, you can't be out here, george. i know! i want to be productive. it's just safety, safety, safety. -i'm all about it. i want it to be safe. trust me, dave. i do not want to die. seven miles west... -at the mouth of the penny river... we got the authorizations to come on out here, and the gold should be fanning out. from the mouth of the penny river. it's just right over there. desperate to stay in the mining game, -and without an ounce of gold all season... it's pretty critical that i put some gold in the box. on the bottom'z up here. zeke tenhoff is putting it all on the line. by attempting a risky solo dive. -kind of been going broke all summer, and it sucked, and i'm tired of it. i'm running on fumes. i haven't gotten any gold all season. i got to go out in the ocean, make some money for myself. -if i can throw a couple good cleanups. in this box in the next few days, i'll be, like, back up. i'll be flush. i'll be able to go on more adventures. -it's a lot trickier doing this stuff by yourself. than with a tender or with a team, but i know i can do it. without emily manning the operation top side, there will be no safety nets. -if zeke encounters any troubles while down below. if you're not monitoring the equipment. that's on the surface, then who knows? you could come up to the surface, and your boat's on fire. -then what're you gonna do? there's a lot of inherent hazards there. if you have no on else watching the equipment. or no one else helping out. i've got my fingers crossed everything keeps running. -while i'm down there, and it doesn't get anymore dangerous than it already is. i need to make some money today, big time. i need to find something really super rich if i'm gonna turn this around working out here by myself. we definitely caught cobble down here, a lot of big, heavy cobble. -and there's clay here, too. i like that. okay, this is what i'm talking about. this is what i wanted to find, something just like this. this looks like a good area of transition where the sand's meeting the clay. -see, there's a little bit of color there. i'm onto something. there's a little speck. but i need to see something... i need to something... -something good! like that's just one speck. i'm tired of getting teased by this one-speck business. sick of it. yeah, i don't know how far out in the sand i want to go. -well, let's see. i'm gonna go over this way, check out over here. it's looking like there might be some decent stuff under these rocks. basically, i need to see something that i can get excited about. we got a lot of lost time to make up for. -and there's a lot of mineral here. it's real black. yeah, there we go! yeah! this is what i'm talking about right there! -yeah! thank god! i'm seeing some piece of gold now. if i buckle down and i work on this hard, i'm gonna be having 10, 20-ounce cleanups, no doubt. -this is good stuff. this is actually pretty phenomenal. after weeks of failure, zeke not only lands on the gold... it's a cheese sandwich down here! heard about the cheese sandwich, but i never found one of my own. -he uncovers a tasty configuration miners. yearn to find on the sea floor. there's clay, then there's gold, then there's rock, then there more gold, then there silt. that's a cheese sandwich! it looks like gold's been pouring out of the penny river and getting pushed right up into this bench, and there's gold laying through a whole in the layers. -there was a little piece of gold right on top of this rock right here. everything here! i'm gonna crash it up. i'm gonna plow right through here. bam! -every bit of all this ground in this whole trajectory is going through my sluice box. yeah, that's the stuff right there. i'm kind of cold. i don't think there's any hot water. i know something's wrong. -i'm gonna have to go up and see what's going on with this. damn it. you know, this is what a tender's good for. what in the at the mouth of the penny river... -what in the. zeke tenhoff may have finally found gold. what the come on! but his first solo dive is going up in smoke. what the. -what in the. what? stupid piece of. looks like my water-supply pump just... it just cut out or quit. -and it looks like i got lucky, 'cause the line that feeds my tether. to my hot water. could've blown hot steam down into my suit. a malfunction in the water heater resulted. in a blown hose, shutting zeke down for the day. -despite his ambition. murphy's law, as soon as i get onto some good gold. after a whole season, everything starts breaking down on me, and i'm just fixing equipment, and i'm not mining. -there's a lot more gold. that i need to plunder out of that bottom. running the dredge and diving on his own. is proving tougher than zeke envisioned. in the present situation, -i can't keep equipment running right. i need a tender out here. to help me dredge with any degree of efficiency 'cause i'm not making enough money. to make this worthwhile by myself. doing this stuff by yourself is hard. -if you don't have people watching out can go... for all the equipment and stuff, can start going wrong, like, in a hurry. i'm gonna have to get some kind of tender out here to help me. 10 miles east... in the nome small boat harbor... -dad, we're ready to push off. the kellys are setting sail... let's do it. heading out to the cobblestone claim. with the clock ticking. -okay, let's be honest. we're going this distance. i really hope this tip pays off from this guy. it's an adventure, but yours man. this whole season's been an adventure. -but just getting to the remote spot. will be an arduous task in the tiny dredge. life's an adventure, and we need to start living it more. a lot can happen when you're 12 miles away from town. yeah, our boat can break down. -the water could pick up. there's lots of stuff that could happen. yeah, well, you're captain. you have to go down with the ship. that dude, that's the rule. -this is insured. that's the maritime law... captain goes down with the ship. if you don't, you go to jail. this is too far, you know. -i mean, we got one motor on the boat. if we break down... chris doesn't look at the possibilities. one motor, then what do we do? call somebody to get and get us, help us? -it's dangerous. jay, the wind was north the entire time. until we get to this one spot! and now it's blowing the opposite way. this far from nome, -the vessel is fully exposed. to the legendary bering sea winds. wow, it's really picking up! you see how the mountains are? we're right in the ravine. -the wind's blowing right the through to us. one thing or another constantly. the guy said we need to look for a river. despite the risks... you know, so, we're looking for a bunch of huge rocks. -that will make up the ocean floor. captain kris throws caution to the wind. a part right here 30 feet long that's all bedrock. the ancient riverbed that runs through the claim. was formed when a glacier slid through the mountainous region, -carrying with it rock, sediment, and, most importantly, gold. so, now, kris hopes by tapping into the bedrock, he'll strike pay dirt. my plan is to try to go underneath the ocean, -try to find the bedrock, hopefully lead that up. to something great. that's my goal today. that'll prove to my dad and brother. that it's worth sticking around here. -my dad and andy are not liking the way i'm running the operation. sooner or later, you're gonna hit something big. we're gonna find a spot that nobody knows about, and there's gonna be $1 million. -right there underneath your feet. okay. let's see where we are. we landed right on the river. looks like i know what i'm doing. -okay, there we go. in here, we're not finding clay, we're finding bedrock. the bedrock is only in rivers. in the ocean, we have a clay layer, and that's where the gold sits, on top of the clay. bring us a quarter-ounce nugget, and we'll be happy. -yeah, i know. i'm telling you this is gonna be a good spot. we just need some real time to make it here. half the season's over, and you know what? we've tried a lot of. -different ventures under captain kris, and it's not looking good. we'll see if he finds gold. three miles west of nome... you seeing gold? -not yet. digging. newcomer george young is still waiting. for his diver to strike gold. no, tell him no. -but even though george is the captain... no, i don't think so. his older brother continues to pull rank. my brother dave, he's told me on multiple times, "you don't need to dive! -that's why you hire divers. just let them dive." he thinks that i'm really, really naive. on the danger factor. just hogging down all these rocks, trying to tear down this wall. -i mean, we got to see what we got into here. there we go! jackpot! there it is right there. boom. -look at that. that's good-looking stuff. get her, gator! that's the good stuff, buddy! all right. -look at that. good job! good job! dave, i think i lost suction. just as they finally hit a pay layer... not working. -throttle it down. power down. the team hits a snag. aw, you suck. are you kidding me? -the hose is on here, but it's barely hanging on, barely hanging on by a thread. is it possible for you to fix it? i think so. there it goes. -aw, hell, it just broke off. hey, come over to the ladder. i'm gonna hand you the end of the hose. okay! here it is. -we might have to go back into port and hook it back up. every second we're not down on the bottom, that's costing money. still $70,000 in the hole, a delay is the last thing the rookie miner needs. -probably gonna cost us a couple hours. we got to figure out how to reattach this... i got the glue and stuff. to this. you got to heat that up. -yeah. we got to take the hose back to the shop. put that in hot water, stick it in. no matter what you get thrown at in life, you just roll with the punches and keep going. -you don't give up. could've got a couple thousand in gold out of that haul. 43 miles east... on the cobblestone claim... what are you seeing down there? -okay, so, we're on one side of the river, right, and one side of the bank, and i'm not finding a lot of material built up where the clay and the riverbed meet, so i'm gonna have to assume... three hours into his dive, captain kris kelly has found little evidence of gold, and his crew is getting restless. -he found no gold, no material. it's on the other side of the river, so he's gonna walk his ass to the other side. and look there. you know, that's why i question kris' captain seat. -i'm looking for where the material is stacking up on the river right now. hate to call this in the rocks that i'm breaking up. there's little bits of gold in the cracks everywhere. it's it's hard for me to judge how much gold i'm getting. and i'm not seeing, like, i'm not seeing a lot. -that's good. he's having a hard time judging it 'cause there's not enough to judge, that's why. somewhere around here, if we keep looking in this river where the river channel was, we're gonna find pockets that have huge gold in it. i don't know. he's going a gram an hour, man. -like, you feel the money flowing in? 31 hours to get an ounce. hey, you, you've been down for three hours. so, a gram an hour, you've made a total of three grams today, buddy. this is the pursuit of gold. -with only a 48-hour window. to find gold on the claim or be forced to move on, the clock is ticking for the young captain. this is why i don't have confidence in his captain seat. and he can't find gold worth so, i think i've found where the clay meets the riverbed. -all i want to hear is that you find gold. dude, i found some gold, but it was only a flake. like, a big flake, but it was only a flake. it's here, we've just got to find it. yeah, i think i just saw some pigs fly over the dredge, too. -you guys are gonna have to pronounce me captain again, and we're gonna have to go on our merry way. there's gold here. we just got to find it. that's a bull idea. -far from nome, and vulnerable to increased winds. in the middle of the bering sea... hey, kris, it's getting rough up here. the already floundering mission takes a hit... -i think we're gonna get ready to leave. come on up. and what could be the kellys' last chance at the season. will be down to its final 24 hours. we found gold. -not a lot, but we found gold in loose material. we just didn't find a high enough concentration of gold. to make it profitable. we're not coming back here. this is my chance, -and i feel like i'm screwing it up, you know? i feel like nothing's really going my way. even though i'm making a lot of things happen. in connections and ideas, really not gold. gold is really what we're supposed to be making, -and i'm not making a huge amount of gold for my family. i bought the bottom'z up as just a simple, bare-bones, little pontoon-boat platform. but i knew that in order to take trips out to sledge island, i was gonna have to make some modifications to at least. -make it sort of safe and seaworthy. one of the big things that i needed to do. is build a weather-secure cabin on the bottom'z up. to make sure that we had a place. to hunker down in bad weather. -i always take pride in, like, trying to scavenge things to build my boats with, 'cause i think that that keeps you low to the ground. for all the modifications... the structural modifications in the cabin that i built, i found a bunch of old bunk beds. -that came out of the old, halfway house... out of the jail and the old halfway house. so, i took those old steel bunk beds apart, ground them down, and used that. as construction material for building the cabin. -and other structural things i had to do on the boat. there's always gonna be stuff to scavenge. in nome, alaska... you ready? george young's brother is on his way out of town... leaving the entire operation in the rookie's hands. -see you later. thank you. see you. be safe. well, now i'm on my own. -you know, this is dangerous stuff. he's worried about me. probably just about every day i'm up here. but quite honestly, no matter how much he worries, -i'm gonna do what i'm gonna do. i'd be the same way, you know, if i brought my brother into something that i'd been doing that might be dangerous, life-threatening. and i'd be pretty protective, too, -and make sure he knew damn well how to do it. i can see where he's coming from, and i can respect that. it just means he loves me. dave first came up here with my brother scott. to mine gold on the bottom of the bering sea. -our whole family thought they were crazy. they found gold. they showed us gold. it was pretty cool. that was the year my brother scott passed away. -having that kind of loss in my family, dave feels extra pressure. to make sure that i'm safe, and i make it home. god forbid if anything happens to me, i tell him, "it's not on your shoulders." -i mean, that's not on his shoulders. not... it shouldn't be on his shoulders to bear. i'm here to get gold. i'm here to prove that i can do it without legs. -you're swimming. as long as i can swim, move the nozzle, i can do it. across town... seems like the season's been going. -kind of weird, kind of slow. the kelly clan is struggling to regroup. after a frustrating effort on the new claim... you know, going out to the cobblestone claim, that didn't work out. -it was too far, first of all. we're gonna kill ourselves down there, or we're gonna end up with broken equipment. and captain kris is feeling the pressure. every time you make your mistake, -it's open to ridicule and, you know, like, another proof that you shouldn't be leading. everybody's just looking for any way. they can to tear me down. i'm tired of this, too. -i'm always stressed out, trying to take care of a bunch of hundred little angles. we still got half the season, so don't be jaded by the fact that you're not a good captain. he doesn't expect me to succeed. -they expect me to fail. you know, my dad wants me to fail. i'll never win with you guys. i'm not gonna be the captain. i'm gonna let andy take a whack at your captain. -yeah? you'd let andy take a whack at it? what's wrong with that? we're either gonna work together, or we're all gonna go down in a ball of flames. -hey, hey, chill out. we got to finish eating. and in nome's small boat harbor... i hate these water heaters! i love them, i hate them. -they always burn up on you. i mean, they're great, but they burn up on you. it sucks. zeke tenhoff is licking his wounds. after his first solo trip fizzled. -it's been a slog this season, going on all these prospecting trips to sledge island. and the sinnuk, not seeing anything. i mean, that's enough to get anyone down, especially me. i mean, that's kind of what i thrive on is seeing good gold. -that keeps me excited. it's not taking me too long to replace it. because i had an extra. it was my last one, though, and i can't really afford. to drop $2,500 on a new one, so this one better not explode. -it's a huge bummer that my water heater exploded. that's an expensive piece of equipment. i mean, just not cool. it's not cool if you're not hunting for treasure. i really want to get back to work. -as the entire fleet feels the pressure, the pomrenkes continue to reign supreme. check out that rainbow, man. i would say that's a good sign. okay, let's get going. -idle up. let's do this. it's getting pretty rough up here, george. i feel that, man. you know, i want to hang onto it for myself. -that is the area where he has the pain. these are the actions of a desperate man. i am uhtred, son of uhtred. i released the slave guthred and saw him crowned king of cumbraland. i fell in love with his sister while commanding his troops. -i wish to be seen as sigefrid's equal. i ask that you offer your sister in marriage. he behaves as if he were king! to defeat kjartan the cruel, an alliance was formed with the brothers erik and sigefrid. kjartan's land will become your land. -to peace. but guthred's counsellors saw me as a threat and wanted christian men in the army. he believes himself to be above each one of us. and so a secret bargain was made with my uncle. 200 spears. -in return i shall require the head of osbert. what are you doing? guthred showed clemency, but still betrayed me. you will become a slave, uhtred, and halig with you. king alfred freed my brother ragnar to rescue me. -but he was too late. argh! you belong to me now. destiny is all. _ -pull, you bastards! hyah! pull, we need to fly! pull! it's like looking out of a grave. -that will not be our fate... i swear to you. you think these bastards will bother digging a hole for you? we are destined to be tossed overboard with the rest of the shite. i'll tell you, finan, it would be my own bad luck if i got tossed overboard alive. -i can't swim. never give up, halig. shut your mouth back there! never give in. you don't speak, slave. -you pull! yes, men! we pull! and... pull! -pull! pull! pull! pull! pull! -one day, osbert, i will kill that bastard and savour it. _ 200 spears as promised. a man of his word. it would seem. we can lay a siege to dunholm as early as tomorrow. -the unified armies of guthred, aelfric, the two brothers, we march on dunholm. we show kjartan our numbers. we stand fast. we starve kjartan of water, food... life itself. -how did he die? who? uhtred, lord. his name is osbert. did he shit his britches? -did he beg for mercy? i want to know. uhtred would never beg. your queen? no. -she has a free tongue, lord aelfric. she will say nothing more. well, i wish to see it. my nephew's head. where is it? -where it has always been. on his shoulders. rest assured that uhtred is as good as dead. as good as dead? then he is still alive? -for the siege of dunholm, we agreed 200 spears, for his head. that was the bargain. lord, he is a ship's slave. in reality, osbert's been given a fate far, far worse than death. you must understand uhtred saved my life. -he was my friend. your friend? yes. lord, i swear, you shall never hear from him again. perhaps i should make an ally of kjartan, once again. -maybe he will succeed where you have so wilfully failed. all i required was a single, lifeless head. lord, may i suggest that you rest? aidan, how many days have we been marching? six days, lord. -and you should rest. six days for no reward! lord, rest. eat. drink. -there must be something we can do or offer to make this right. lord aelfric, you will have gathered by now that my brother is part fool. you should have nothing more to do with him. my sister has humour... and a tongue! we leave tomorrow. -lord, i beg you... my business here is over. goodbye, lord aelfric, so nice to meet you. enjoy the long walk home to bebbanburg. guthred, by saving uhtred, what you now have is a chaos of your own making. -chaos. if aelfric is not with us then the ground has shifted. we'll take no part in the siege of dunholm. erik, we must! we have an agreement, we have plans. -that will no longer involve the brothers. no dunholm means we must again fight for our wealth. sigefrid, we do have a peace. we do have a peace! lord, we are in need of an ally. -you must offer your sister. the horses are ready? they are, lady. sihtric, i choose you because you are loyal to lord uhtred. always, lady. -you will give this note to hild when she returns. she will return. how long will you be gone, lady? all i know is that i cannot stay. _ -we are wessex, of course, and to our north lies mercia, our allies. mm-hmm, and to the east? danelaw. above is northumbria and cumbraland, where pagans rule and threaten our christian brothers. and beyond the great wall is the kingdom that they call alba, where it is cold and wild. -good. and what do we call everything south of the wall? that will one day be england. aethelflaed, it would cost a great deal of both blood and silver to conquer these lands, even more to hold the ground. and so alliances must be forged. -unions made. i am to be married? once a suitable match has been made. i am ready to do my duty. there is a beauty to a burning village. -it's like you said chaos. i wish to be known as sigefrid... lord of chaos. quickly, come on. -sister hild and company, what is your purpose? we're here on the orders of alfred of wessex. i want to see king guthred. you are a dane. i am earl ragnar ragnarson. -this is the warrior steapa, alfred's man. alfred sends greeting to king guthred. and guthred's sister, lady gisela. is she here? i would like to see her. -she is not. she did abandon the city. where to? i have yet to find out, but i shall find out. you are his brother? -you're uhtred's brother. it is guthred. i am, lord. alfred sent you to do what? to find uhtred. -he is in uhtred's debt and will not see him harmed. uhtred is lost. i'm truly sorry to say that. my apologies to both you and to alfred. there, you've had a wasted journey. -rest, please, here, by all means... you will tell me the name of the man who took uhtred. i... i need to gather my thoughts. lord, i wish to know the name of the slaver. -if you are truly sorry, you will tell me and where to find him. uhtred is indeed lost. bail, you dogs! release our chains! we'll work faster. -bail out or you'll go down with her! you want to live? you bail! i pray god will keep him safe, lady. osbert, he will not stop bailing. -rest. you will need your strength. i am happy enough to bail. hey! oh. -oh, you think you're better than these men? they are property. as are you. you should let go of your pride. it will be the death of you. -rest. he's right, you should rest. we're wasting away, you and i. we should be saving what's left of our strength to run. but to run we'll need skin on our feet and not rotting flesh. -then we should bail. these wretches all tell the same story, lord. they flee slaughter at the hands of the brothers. we must surely be next. and what do i do? -do i fight? do i now march against the brothers? it is not my place to instruct a king in the ways of war. i am asking for your counsel! i am without a commander of my guard. -then i would say we need first to secure grain enough for the winter to feed these wretches. and i would say we need lord aelfric of bebbanburg, now more than ever. we would appreciate some water, for ourselves and the horses. it's yours. you are jonis? -i am. i've been told that you took a man, a warrior, from guthred of eoferwic. you sold him as a slave. i see the faces of so many creatures. i'm not here to open your belly, jonis. -not yet. i'll pay you. here. you will not feed the slaves! and you will not bark like a great, fat hound! -you said you will pay? yes, i did. a warrior slave, called himself osbert. there was another man. smaller, saxon. -a sea trader named sverri took them both. where is sverri now? wherever the sea and promise of silver takes him. life at the oar is hard and short. sverri will return, i'm sure, refresh his crew. -when? autumn and winter will pass. but, come spring, the first full moon after sigrblot, we will gather for business at the beach. sverri will be there, i swear. and between that time he sails where? -his ships plough the roughest sea. he could be any place. you tell us nothing. i tell you what i know to be true. all you can do is watch the beaches and wait. -move it. it's east anglia. it could well be frankia. drink water. i need land. -yes. lord, i need land. i need to get out. i need land! halig! -i need land! back at your place! he is back in his place. tell them who you are, tell them you have silver! you will be quiet now! -he is sick with the fever! we will hold him! i said we will hold him! worthless slaves. halig. -halig. i can't stay on this ship! halig. you are a warrior. you followed me into battle at ethandun. -you fought bravely. halig! you saved me from kjartan's spies in cumbraland. remember that? i did. -you did. we are warriors! and our time will come. look at me, halig. you have followed every order i've ever given you. -now i'm giving you one more. you will row. you will pull and you will wait and our time will come. and then together, we shall win. together. -please tell me he's not here as a suitor. he's ceolwulf, the father of mercia. he is barely alive. lord ceolwulf. wessex is honoured to welcome you. -we welcome all of the ealdormen of mercia. we do not. may our discussions prove to be beneficial and fruitful for both parties. swords, alfred. i shall make my point clear from the outset. -we demand swords... and the men to carry them. to help stem the wave upon wave of raiders, lord, from the daneland. forgive my interruption. mercia lost many a warrior at ethandun, and willingly. i expect repayment. -i hear you, ceolwulf. i consider our lands to be one... no, we are not one. we are mercia and you are wessex. refreshment? -swords! i will not be silenced. lord ceolwulf, perhaps a seat? it has been a long journey. it has. -for a purpose. i understand completely that at times the east of mercia is overrun with viking raiders. we suffer the same fate along our northern border. what of your warrior uhtred? he is a leader of men. -dispatch him to our border with daneland. uhtred and 50 men, i will accept. uhtred was last seen in northumbria, lord, the place of his birth. northumbria? you can send men to the far north but not to your neighbour? -lord ceolwulf. the solution to our problem, i feel, is a bond. the solution... is swords and men. a permanent bond between wessex and mercia. a union, lord. -swords! how many times do i need to say it? ! how many times am i to be ignored? ! -lord ceolwulf, you have read my letters? lord ceolwulf? yes, of course i have read your letters. you're looking for a buck! a match, lord. -and i have a name for you right here... in a letter of my own. a good man, godly man. mercian stock, like the lady aelswith. but what guarantee do i have... that mercia will not become a mere appendage of wessex? a poor cousin? -we are a kingdom. lord, your first concern should be that you do not become an appendage to daneland. and who was it agreed to this thing called daneland? ! it was you. -it was alfred, and now it is mercia that suffers most. swords you demand, lord. i do. and swords you shall have. how many? -wessex could never turn away from mercia. it would be akin to alfred turning away from aelswith. it could never occur, lord ceolwulf. never. what is this? -each time i talk of swords and spears and yet you insist on speaking of unions... and of ki... a cup of water for lord ceolwulf. a cup of water? i think perhaps a hole in the ground. he has... passed, lord. -our, erm... our deepest sympathies are with all of you. be assured that i and the priests of wessex shall pray for lord ceolwulf's soul. i pray eternal light will shine upon him. we shall adjourn. -which one of you is aethelred? i am aethelred, lady. aethelred, if you could ensure that ceolwulf is returned to his family, i would be grateful. yes, lord. of course, lord. -master sverri and your friend hakka have good news. we're finished now until the spring. winter will be on land. iceland. where there's work to be done. -be ready. hear that, halig? land. i love land. _ -so in place of the head of osbert, you offer me a bride... by your own admission... you have misplaced. but we will find her, lord, and soon. you will find her when? before i finish my food? before the end of winter? -lord, we have eyes across northumbria and cumbraland, and we have prayer. she will have gone to cumbraland. i... i know my sister. ah, but i do not. -and i know she must be very fond of me, to hide herself away like this. lord, she would not be the first reluctant bride. true. it is also a truth that she was very fond of your nephew. i have a duty to tell you, there was talk of marriage. -she remains fond of osbert? oh, i would imagine that he is the reason she is in hiding. then i shall have her. you will? there are, however, conditions. -not one spear shall belong to eoferwic until gisela is delivered and is my wife. aidan shall return with you. you will treat him well, you will feed him well. for the entire winter, should that be necessary. i do not eat too much. -finally, you will deliver a message, from me to kjartan. kjartan? saying what? saying how my nephew may be found and therefore killed. why bark when there are hounds available? -are we agreed? yes. we are agreed. _ i think we might be getting fed, lord. -call him osbert. more than you deserve. be grateful. lord, your gift of warriors. they have served mercia well this past winter. -the raids are not so frequent now. it gladdens me to hear it. you have done well, aethelred. thank you, lord. now, i believe there is other business. -odda? yes, lord. the bride price. well, we... i have considered what would be appropriate. -i propose to gift the lady aethelflaed 3,000 pieces. 4,000 would, perhaps, be more fitting. lord aethelred, she is the king's daughter, she is not without means. silver, though valuable, does not represent what she will become... a lady of mercia. perhaps you have a gift with more... permanency. -ancestry. we would, of course, bequeath aethelflaed titled lands. rich lands, in mercia... to further the union. a fair price, i feel. excellent. -excellent, lord. to permanency. quick, hide yourself. how may i serve you, sven kjartensson? you will not waste my time. -we will not speak of silver. we will talk of a man you know as osbert. _ halig. do not move. -i said... do not move. bastards! don't just stand there looking idle. he has the weight of an ox! we must divide, go separate ways. -halig. keep going. come on. there! a boat! -blessed jesus, there's a bastard boat! halig. halig. leave me! get him in the boat! -i'm not leaving you. pull! pull! pull! pull! -pull, lord. you are alive only because i am curious to know who you are, and if you'll fetch a good price. pull. pull and save him the pain! pull! -ugh! pull and give him the peace of death! pull! pull! pull! -pull! pull! jonis! i'm looking for jonis, the slaver, is he here? who has seen him? -you will deal with me today. you know who i am? i do, lord. you have something that i want, master sverri. yes, lord. -uhtred ragnarson. is that you? is it? what do you call this man? he calls himself osbert, but i heard another slave call him "lord". -it is him. i have waited for this moment. give him a sword. a sword! sven. -yes. it is me, sven the one-eye. pick it up. pick it up! he is too weak. -i will kill you. uhtred, i am pleased that you will try. he's too weak. i will be forever the man... who killed the great warrior, uhtred. uhtred. -uhtred. it's me, it's ragnar. ragnar. did you believe we would abandon you? free them all. -pull. halig? he has been taken down, wrapped and buried... with shield and sword. you will say words for him, hild. i have. -i will, always. northumbria is torn. aelfric did not come to guthred's side. erik and sigefrid and kjartan, they do what they please. you haven't asked how i come to be here. -alfred. alfred sent us. i believe the king of wessex... cares for you. you're uhtred's brother? i am. -you look nothing like each other. uhtred, you should eat. finan. oh, we will eat, lady, but our tummies are small and our feet have barely touched dry land. it'll take a little time to find them. -are you his brother? we are... we are bound, i would say. up. you've been asleep for a day or more. -i can do it. take off your clothes. you have not looked me in the eye, not once. i am ashamed of what i became. you are uhtred, son of uhtred. -lord of bebbanburg. it's time you remembered that. you kept the blade sharp. i knew you'd return. she is heavier than i remember. -how did alfred come to know of my fate? you? i will not forget. you will always have my protection. i could not ask for more. -and this... this is my gift to you. protection. you are too good a woman for god alone. uhtred, it is you. -the apples are beginning to fall without... shh... picking. here we are, brothers, god's gift. thank you, mother, most generous. -you have been to cumbraland, you say? we have, and without luck. and you've had no strangers calling to your door, mother? strangers, yes, traders and wretches, but no ladies. hmm. -you have an appetite, lord. mmm. i do. it's good. i'm pleased. -alfred waits... for your return. we have business here, steapa. in the north. i gave my word we go to wessex. but we're here, now. -i gave my word. we go directly to wessex. kjartan can wait, and thyra... must wait. and gisela? what of her? -she's safe. she waits for you at the nunnery at ebchester. no. seize her! no. -no! no, i will not! no! hold her! hold her fast. -stand beside her and we shall have her married. you have no right! i have every right, and you will be quiet. aelfric's man, stand beside her. we shall have her married to aelfric right now. -without a husband, lord? i will not marry against my will! you cannot... do not strike the poor girl! do as you're told and as god commands! -beside her, as proxy. you'll stand in for lord aelfric. we shall dispense with the joining of hands. you may take her arm. i will not be party to this. -i will not marry... and we shall dispense with the vows. i hereby proclaim lady gisela of cumbraland and lord aelfric of bebbanburg to be man and wife. gisela! uhtred? -uhtred, i'm here! uhtred. you will let her go. you are too late. you will let her go. -she is married now. she belongs to aelfric. it is a lie, uhtred. where is aelfric? if he is not here, then he cannot be married. -by proxy, you fool. this man stood beside her in place of aelfric. uhtred, in the eyes of god, she is married. did you hump her for aelfric? he did not. -then there's no marriage, it's a lie. she is married and it cannot be undone. make her a widow. no! gisela is married to aelfric. -not to aidan. i have a wife already. a different wife. uhtred, i'm bored with this. kill them all. -do as you wish. in sight of god, she's married. say "she's married" again. she's married. she's what? -she is married. uhtred! is she married? yes! he is a man of god! -say it one more time, priest, and i swear the devil will take you. you're nothing but a heathen and the bitch is married! you! you will go to my uncle... and when he asks of his wife, you will tell him she's in the bed of uhtred of bebbanburg. _ -i trust you are in health. i improve with each passing day. and you, lord? god afflicts me. but there is purpose in that, so i must be glad of it. -earl ragnar, he is a good man. i should like to free both him and brida. thank you, lord... for all you have done. what do you think of my candles? -i find them to be more effective at night. i have missed your childish insolence. i'm trying to measure the passing of time. i'm hoping to find a candle that burns from midday to midday. lord, why did you have me rescued? -why have you brought me here? i had you rescued firstly because i was able, and secondly, because it is no more than you deserved. though i admit, i would like you in my service once again. i am grateful, of course... but i have my own path to follow. -destiny. destiny, lord. you killed the abbot eadred. according to the words of brother trew and others. he was a weasel, lord. -a weasel without a sword, a holy weasel. who deserved to die. you killed him on blessed ground. he was an abbot. however, you were in the company of earl ragnar, in the charge of earl ragnar, who was under my orders and whom -i hold responsible for the killing of abbot eadred. no. no, lord, it was me and me alone. why did he not stop you? lord, you cannot blame ragnar for the abbot's death. -yes, i can, and i do... that is unfair. he will stand trial. no. you are a great warrior, uhtred. -you are a saxon who is also a dane, the very embodiment of the england that must emerge. i request that you enter my service. lord. i have been a slave. i wish to remain a free man. -what is it that you wish for earl ragnar? lord, please. a man of god was slaughtered. that cannot be ignored, someone must answer. it will be you... or it will be earl ragnar. -you may choose. your sword, uhtred. you can be a free man, within my service. ragnar goes free? he has earned it. -swear. i, uhtred of bebban... it is the custom to kneel. i, uhtred of bebbanburg, pledge my sword to you, alfred of wessex. i am on cloud nine. -another afternoon rendezvous with brett. and i am buzzing with romance and macchiatos. hey, listen, i've been meaning to talk to you about something, but i didn't know how to say it without possibly freaking you out. oh, god. here we go. -webbed toes? money problems? or worse... bisexual? ! go ahead? -okay. i was wondering if you wanted to go to the sia concert with me. that's it? okay, that's not the freak-out part. um, i was wondering if you wanted to go with me as my... boyfriend. -yeah. s-sure. yeah. and sure... to both. i would... love to see sia with you. -i will see ya there at sia. works both ways, bu you don't, right? okay, bye. don't freak out. you got this. -just a few more steps to keep your cool. aw. so cute. okay. i give it a month. -hey! give me back my baby! oh, hi! hey! ginger rogers! -get in here and help me with the dishes. oh, kenny. you're screwed. this is a ticket to a sia concert that my boyfriend got me. "what did you say?" -"my boyfriend!" dude, i never thought it would happen. right? not because you're not awesome, but because for a desperate guy, you're pretty picky. okay, i really need your support right now. -i'm about to go break the boyfriend news to mom and dad. they'll be fine. they already know you're gay. i've only been gay with myself. i've never gotten to be gay with another person. -and mom gets upset when i even mention the thought of marrying anderson cooper. okay. i have good news to tell them. right? so i tell them my good news, then you tell them your news, and then they won't even hear it. -mm. what news could you possibly have that would eclipse me having a boyfriend? i scored over 1,000 on my sats. you whaaat? ! -that is such great news! aren't we happy? nothing could ruin this moment. i also have news. shh. -hang on, kenny. i have so many questions. what? h-how? why? -shannon has been tutoring me for the past few months. that doesn't sound like something shannon would do out of the kindness of her heart. it's not. i did it because you promised jimmy a car if he broke 1,000 on his sats. and one day, his car's going to be my hand-me-down. -wait. hang on. we did not promise to get jimmy a car. hey, i feel like we're veering off course. maybe we could circle back to my news? -i knew you would react this way. if i get over 1,000 on the sats, then you guys promise to buy me a car? go ahead and fast-forward a little bit. fine. we will get you a car. -do you think it's good to have role models who break their promises? or who laugh at your hopes and dreams? pat, can i whisper-argue with you over here for a second, please? what the hell was that? ! -i thought you had good news. i do. i'm getting a car. okay, that's not good for me. it's great for me. -all right, your mother and i have decided to uphold our promise. you can get a new used car. and i'm going with you to buy it. wha...? you two turkeys would get swindled in a heartbeat. -hey! pat, your biggest flaw is that you're just too nice to people. he is. he's the nicest one. he's the nicest one in our family. -up yours! i'm nice! hey, dad. hey. wow. -your tiny house makes that sandwich look very large. mm. it's a hoagie, and it serves four. while i have ya, i have some pretty big news. and i'm only telling you and not mom because... you're the cool parent. -i have a boyfriend. his name is brett. i want you to meet him. i hope you like him, because if you like him, then mom will like him, and since i like him, it's important that you all like him, too. well, of course i'm gonna like him, kenny. -all right, buddy, your first boyfriend! yeah. ooh, i get to do my "what are your intentions with my son?" bit. oh, wow. or we could... you... -maybe we could not do that? test-driving cars is fun. and she drove like a dream. i can't wait to parallel-park her brains out. calm down, jimmy. -one whiff of enthusiasm, and they know they've got you on the hook. this is about establishing who's in charge, all right? and if all else fails... we have this. what? ! -are we rich? ! yo, can we make it rain? ! you see how you just reacted? -that's what cash does to people. it makes them stupid. so... we gonna get you in that car today, j-man? yeah! -i love her! it's just... stupid. mm, yeah, she's cool. all right, well, i mean, the car has everything you want. and, uh, this is the best i can do. -okay. oh! yeah. this is perfect. mm-hmm. -for me to spit my gum into. wha... we're leaving. and we're taking our cash with us. come on, jimmy. -is that why we stopped for gum? m-mo... oh. you have nothing to be nervous about. my dad is very, very excited to meet you. -i'm actually more nervous abou him embarrassing me with his lame jokes. hey, guys. i should tell you... it's so validating going to these gay places. a guy just asked me out and gave me a scone. -that's 'cause he's got good taste. how you doing? hi. i'm brett. brett, pat o'neal. -nice to meet you. ooh. nice handshake. firm but not a showoff. all right. -have a seat, brett. kenny has, uh, told me a lot about you. oh, really? did he tell you that i'm the cool parent? because i am. -but not too cool. now, i don't want you bringin' our boy back to the homestead in the middle of the night. you got me? here he goes. so, what exactly are your intentions with my son? -um... nothing out of the ordinary. and i can promise you i will not get him pregnant, sir. wait. you guys are having sex already? what? -no! no. he was making a joke 'cause you were doing a thing! and we're two dudes. that's not possible. -i think what brett is trying to say is, it's great to meet you. it really is, pat. i think "mr. o'neal" is going to be just fine. kenny! hi! -hey. what are you guys doing here? well, steve the colorist and i are on our afternoon 15, which ended an hour ago. we're so bad. both we work on commission, so it's really our loss. -i can't pay my rent. what are you up to, buddy? boyfriend drama. you have a boyfriend? i remember my first boyfriend. -he died. well, this is way worse. dad and brett's first meeting... super-awkward. oh, they were probably both just nervous. -you know what brought steve and i closer together? an escape room. what is that? an escape room is a locked space filled with puzzles that you have to solve to get out. it's a great bonding experience for a group... -unless, of course, someone is useless. i'm claustrophobic. and bad with puzzles. and numbers. and groups. -mm. wait. that sounds perfect. dad is great with numbers, brett is great with puzzles, and i'm great with groups. -just make sure that you don't volunteer to be the group leader. otherwise, somebody could strangle you out of frustration. you found a clue, di't you? clive. clive. -hey. geez, they got you working on a saturday, huh? oh, yeah, just supervising detention. lot of these students, they're throwaway kids. nobody cares about them, but... -i do. hey! scagnetti! don't worry about what's going on out here! worry about where your life's going! -nowhere! what can i do you for, pat? i need your advice, but you cannot tell eileen. i'm terrible at keeping secrets. kenny has a boyfriend, and he wanted me to meet him and not eileen because i'm supposed to be the cooler parent, but i was not cool, clive... -far from it! why did you tell me that? now i know kenny has a boyfriend. what? what are you doing? -i am texting eileen, "kenny has a boy..." you got to take the phone away from me! clive, i need you to focus! i'm spinning out here, okay? what if i don't like brett because i just don't like the idea of seeing kenny with a boy? -am i a homophobe? you are not a homophobe. you love white wine. it's kenny. he wants me to come and meet up with him and brett again. -see? he's giving you a second chance. that's the key... getting to know them, realizing these kids, there's goodness in all of... hey! -scagnetti! so help me, the last thing you see in this world will be this detention room. and no one will care! yeah! ooh! -ooh! do you need to go handle that? nah, nah. can lock them in. come on, pat. -let's go make friends with a young boy. so, what kind of car did we get? oh! nothing! zip! -zilch! nada! bonjour! because after every test-drive, mom would break the salesman down to the brink of tears. -none of the cars fit our parameters. and those men were weak. what were your parameters? nothing crazy. just has to fit into our budget and have everything on that list. -a latch system for infant car seats? you never know when a baby's gonna need a ride. you can't get all of this for that price. exactly! she was never gonna let me buy a car! -this is like that time that you told me that i could go to the moon for my birthday. there is no moon! jimmy. there's moon. look, if you feel you can negotiate those terms for my price, you're more than welcome to try it. -here. i trust you with this. like an adult. want me to hold that for you, buddy? yes, please. -'kay. aah! thank you, shannon. it was a foul, dark night when old mr. newman found his wife dead. you have one hour to escape the room and find the murderer before he returns for you. -thank you for doing this with me. now that i have your attention, sleuths, the teams that escape with their lives are the ones who assign a leader and work together. this is your chance. let brett be the leader. show him you're respectful. -let my dad be the leader. you be the leader. you can be the leader. no, really, you should be the leader. all right, wonderful. -no, no, i insist. let him be the leader. ooh! a plot twist. here you are. -no, you should be the leader. you're older. what's that supposed to mean? like, more experienced. fine. -i'll do it. i'm actually really good at solving puzzles and stuff. excellent. oh, well, on second thought, i am a cop, and i have solved several puzzles myself, called crimes. -guys, i'm auditioning for "pippin" in like two hours, so i'm starting the clock either way, and you just figure it out. ooooh! hey. so, i ran my algorithm, and unless we're willing to fly to germany, i can't find anything that fits mom's criteria. -it's a fool's errand. well, this fool is about to go on an errand to get a car. i met a nice man named ranger on craigslist who has the perfect car that fits our budget. oh. my uber's here. -i got to run. ranger is waiting for me in an alley behind the dollar store on the south side, and i don't want to be late. so... give me the cash? on one hand, i'm suspect. on the other hand, i really hate riding on the bus. -here you go. wait a minute. what's going on here? i'd rather not talk about it. is that one of my hot wheels? -i'm onto you, shannon. okay, guys, as your default leader, i am happy to report that we are close to solving our first clue. so let's really think about what this means, okay? "when the stars align, the earth will turn." -i got nothing. i got nothing. it seems like if we work together, we can solve this puzzle, and maybe even the larger puzzle... of us. oh, hey. -maybe this star has something to do with it. here's the globe. oh, can i have the star? oh, you want to be the hero who puts the star in the globe? okay, it's the first clue. -nobody's really the hero here. here you go. i'm sure you can figure it out. oh, let's hope so. just put the star in a star hole. -if they don't figure that out, it's all right. i'm actually just about to pick this lock. clive, that is a painting of a lock on a fake door. copy that. can i help you? -i've got it! okay, you know what, dad? can i speak to you over by the sconce, please? why? maybe there's a clue. -just come over to the sconce! is the sconce real? i cannot tell what is real. okay, brett is working very hard to impress you, and you're being totally rude. no, i am not. -yes, you are. h-h-he has tried everything, and nothing has been good enough. the only thing i can think of is that he's a boy. at least mom has been honest about her feelings from the beginning. maybe you actually aren't okay with me being with a guy. -no, kenny, that is not it. i am very proud to have a gay son. and i have watched too many episodes of "dancing with the stars" to be a homophobe. okay, then what is it? i just don't like brett! -that was real. i can't believe you let jimmy buy a car off of craigslist. you're the one who gave him the envelope full of cash. don't pin this on me, lady. oh, i gave him awful advice. -i taught him all my power moves, which is fine if you're talking to daniel at the dealership. but you can't spit your gum at a man named ranger. you spit your gum at somebody? am i the only one who understands the art of the deal? you must have seen one decent car he could take to college. -well, yes, of course. we saw dozens of cars. but... jimmy needs a little extra protection. and i'm just worried that out there in the world, people aren't gonna do that for him. -maybe you're just not ready for him to leave. well, i'm definitely not ready for him to get mugged by a guy named ranger. i should have given him my rape whistle. you have a rape whistle? you don't? -well, the last 30 minutes of that escape room really flew by, huh? still not talking to you. kenny, come on! ay-yi-yi. well, thanks for coming, buddy. -sorry it was such a bust. oh, hey, i'd rather fail with you than with scagnetti. oh, my god. i forgot about those kids. i better skedaddle. -plus, if i see eileen, i'm gonna tell her everything about today. it's her. it's not her. clive, she lives here. -she wouldn't knock. oh. hi, mr. o'neal. "mr. o'neal." ethan, that was my dad. you can call me pat. -okay. i have shannon's homework. she left it at my house. shannon's not home. do you want me to leave it? -or take it? or should i come back another time? or maybe you want me to leave it on the porch. if you have a rock... ethan. -just give it to me. i'm sorry, sir. now it's "sir"? you hear this little suck-up, clive? this is who my daughter's dating. -i think he's being quite respectful. never had a child call me "sir"... even this one, and i'm his vice-principal. can i go now? no. -you know, you think brett's too casual, you think ethan's too formal. you just don't like kids. that's ridiculous. i love kids. first of all, i like my kids. -i like the neighbor's kids. i even like that allison friend of kenny's, and she's a real snooze fest. ugh. she is awful. yeah. -but none of those kids are dating your kids. son of a bitch. you're right. stop! our dad's a cop! -what are you guys doing here? we're here to save you from this sketchy lowlife. mom! this is ranger. he's moving to omaha to take care of his sick sister. -that's why he's selling his car. yeah, right! what does she have? advanced lupus. oh, god. -i'm so sorry. so why'd you lure my son into this alley? because he's having his going-away party at a hipster warehouse right there. oh. yeah, i-i didn't see them. -hi. the car meets all your requirements. does it have a latch system for an infant car seat? yes, ma'am. you never know when you're gonna need to give a baby a ride. -well, i misjudged you. oh, it's okay. i have a mom, too. she's all yours, kid. yes! -i did it! my first car! i used all your power moves. i'm very proud of you, jimmy. you're gonna look great driving that car to college. -maybe this baby bird's ready to leave the nest. we're really gonna miss having you around all the time. don't... don't you do that. you know that when you cry that i cry. -eh. i guess i can have a feeling. you come here. look, here's the point... is... -i'm your dad. it's my job to protect you. so nobody is ever gonna be good enough for you. and especially since this is your first real relationship, i'm setting the bar even higher because i know that you deserve a great guy. -i know, but brett is a great guy. he's sweet and smart, and he likes my dorkiness. he even likes my sense of humor, that i got from you. i am pretty funny. so i am going to try with brett, okay? -because i know how much he means to you. thank you. aaaaaaaaa... dorable. you're a real quiet breather, aren't you? yo, yo! -guess which sagittarius is the proud owner of a taurus! okay, jimmy, for the last time, you are a virgo. clive? i tried calling you today. are you feeling all right? -you look ill. kenny has a boyfriend! i'm so sorry. he's just a friend who's a boy that he has sexual... chemistry with. oh, no. -they're the cutest couple! i can't stop! his name is brett. he's a keeper. can't tell you enough how sorry i am. -i'm sorry you had to find out that way, mom. me too. i was waiting for you to tell me. what? you knew this whole time? -of course i did. i'm not blind. i could see it when you were singing into each other's eyes at the christmas concert. and... and you're okay with it? -i don't think i have a choice. i'll take that as you're okay with it. we can't stop you kids from growing up. but that's not gonna stop me from looking at your baby pictures and thinking about the good old days, when i made all the decisions. well, hey, come on. -let's go check out your ride. oh! shotgun! oh, wait! i'm driving. -uh, i had a mild stroke. no, i used that last week. i'm just gonna speak off the cuff. i'm gonna talk from the heart to these kids here. all righty. -what? son of a gun. those damn throwaway kids escaped tonight. no, no, no, no, no! damn it, scagnetti! -i know this was you! oh, god. i'm trapped again. come on! scagnetti! -yeah! i'm gonna rip off your head and down your neck! no, come on, guys! i'm just fooling around! up yours, murray! -hey, guys? by winter of 1955, america was rapidly changing. the polio vaccine was officially approved by the fda. a small burger joint called mcdonald's held its grand opening in illinois. -disneyland is a delight for all youngsters. walt disney opened his first theme park in anaheim, california. and in chicago, we were still making waves at playboy. in the year since we started taking our own photos, we'd begun adding playful elements to our photoshoots, hiding things like a tie or a set of golf clubs, to imply that a man was just off camera and giving our readers something to look for. -thanks to our concept of the girl next door, readership had exploded from 70,000 copies a month in our first issue to 500,000 a month by the end of the year, and with annual sales reaching $3 million, i saw an opportunity to take playboy even further by going after a source of revenue we'd barely tapped into... advertising. after world war ii, americans got back to work, and the economy was booming. suddenly, people had cash to spend on luxuries like cars, tvs, and new appliances, and they spent a lot, so major companies began putting massive amounts of money, over $5 billion a year, into promoting their products. it was the golden age of advertising. -for most magazines, advertising is the largest source of revenue, and advertisers choose where to advertise based on the audience, the price, and the environment. but playboy had a different approach. we were always, even in the very beginning when we needed the money, very, very tough in terms of our advertising policy. i knew for starters that if we accepted the kinds of advertising that appeared in the pulp magazines, i would never be able to turn a magazine with nudes in it into a class publication. -i only wanted to run high-class ads, ones that would suit our features and articles. my dad was very thoughtful about who he wanted to advertise in the magazine because he cared more about reputation than he did actually about the cash on the table. he didn't want to be in business with people that didn't actually believe in the brand. but now, with sales of playboy at an all-time high, i knew it was time to start going after the big name brands that i wanted. -uh, hef, they're here. okay. stall them five minutes, then bring them up to the studio. okay. get victor to meet me on the second floor. -now. after months of tracking down potential advertisers, we finally got the attention of one of the most exclusive brands in town. all i had to do was convince them to work with us. i'd like you to meet vince tajiri, our photo department head, art paul, art director, and this is victor lownes, head of promotions. -welcome to playboy. thanks very much. uh, hef? this is bob from the diners' club. i'm so sorry to keep you waiting. -hugh hefner. in 1955, the first independent charge card in the world was introduced in america. it was called diners' club. this was before american express, visa, or mastercard were in the credit business, and diners' club members could use their cards at some of the best restaurants in the world. the card was revolutionary, and i had a plan to get it into our magazine. -what do you think of the studio? everything looks great. as you may know, janet here was the first playmate we photographed ourselves. photographing our own models has seen a real spike in readership. when they see your ad on our pages, -i'm predicting they'll choose to spend their money using a diners' club card. all it took was one look from janet and diners' club was in. these advertising guys didn't want to talk advertising. they wanted to ask about the playmates. they were fascinated by it, and we were able to take advantage of that. -why don't you come to my office and we'll talk some numbers. sellers? bye, janet. with diners' club on board, it wasn't long before other big names followed, and soon, playboy was featuring ads from marlboro, chanel, -imperial whiskey, and budweiser. when we went to see people like anheuser-busch, we could say to them, look, you've got to be in this magazine. this magazine reaches more college men who are the next generation's leaders. that was very influential. our new stream of revenue was enough to keep the business running comfortably meaning i could stay focused on the creative side of things. -she looks amazing, vince. it's a shame they can't be this big in the magazine. let's put this up on the board, vince. charlaine had a point. here in the office, the photographs felt more lifelike. -we started out with these great proofs, but then we had to shrink them down to fit in our magazine. i knew there had to be a way to give our readers a better experience. i mean, what are our options here? hef wants a bigger photo, so, tabloid, am i right? are you talking about making the entire magazine twice as big? -that means everything costs twice as much. what's wrong with that? we've spent three years building a bond with our readers, right? they like the magazine the way it is. think about the ad sales. -bigger ads. more money. there you go, eldon. problem solved. look, don't get mad at me 'cause i'm the only one here willing to tell the truth. -don't get mad at me for calling bullshit. we'll just fold it. yeah. ladies and gentleman, the playboy centerfold. in march of 1956, we put out our first issue ever with a fold-out centerfold featuring model marian stafford. -the first playboy centerfold i ever saw was probably in fourth grade at a friend's house. and it's not just opening the cover. that centerfold, that fold-out is that tactile experience of opening something and revealing something. it just seemed like you were opening a door to a whole other world. it wasn't life-size, but you have no idea how many times -i made love to that centerfold. it took me there, visually took me there. i thought that that girl was right there in front of me. the larger centerfolds were an instant hit with readers and quickly became synonymous with our brand. to this day, when people hear the word "centerfold," -they immediately think of playboy. sales and subscriptions skyrocketed, and in december 1956, we hit a milestone when our third anniversary issue sold over a million copies. and after just three years, playboy was the number one men's lifestyle magazine in america. we had beaten out esquire, the magazine that, three years earlier, had refused to give me a $5 raise. we were doing so well, -i needed to bring on someone who could focus on the business side of the magazine. so, i turned to an old friend who knew me better than any of the other guys, bob preuss. balance sheet? perfect. hef always had someone that he relied on to be the business head. -in the early years, it was bob preuss, who'd been his college roommate. demand for the magazine was rising every month, and our staff could barely keep up. if we were going to sustain the quality our readers expected from us, we not only needed to add more staff but we also needed someplace to put them. but we didn't just move to a new office. this time, we got our own building. -four stories, 30,000 square feet. plenty of space for our newly expanded staff now over 100 people. we spent a quarter-million dollars to renovate it top to bottom. it might have been a little indulgent, but i wanted my team to have the very best. we're in my executive offices now on top of the playboy building. -it's quite late at night and my working hours are kind of strange ones. i usually begin work about 1:30 or 2:00 in the afternoon. i get in half a day that way with the staff and things are quite hectic here during the day with conferences and various calls and things to attend to: layouts, editorial matters, etcetera. then i go into the second half of my day in the evening, and that's a little quieter. -there's nobody else here to bother me. it works out pretty well that way. at this point, i pretty much lived in the office full-time, but while my business was growing, so was my family. in the midst of our mounting success, millie gave birth to our second child, a boy named david. -but with the magazine taking up all of my time, i'll be the first to admit i wasn't acting like the type of father or husband my family needed. my father wasn't around a lot when my brother and i were growing up, but we would spend christmas and birthdays with him, so i always thought of him, in hindsight, as kind of like a favorite uncle, someone you were related to who you knew loved you but didn't really know who your friends were or how your grades were going. it was 24/7 for him, which is why he did not really have a family life, even though he was married and had two children. -but he was working night and day. and that was true for decades. arrange a meeting with everybody just to... with success came attention, and in january of '57, i was invited to profile playboy on an entirely new platform for me, one that was quickly becoming an american obsession... television. in 1957, television was taking the country by storm, and with only three networks to choose from, -cbs, nbc, and abc, roughly a third of the country might be tuned in to one program. good evening, i'm mike wallace. the show is night beat. mike wallace's night beat was a popular talk show known for addressing controversial topics, and i thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spread playboy's message. but i had never appeared on tv before, and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't nervous. -i knew that night beat was a very hot show in new york, a show that was getting a lot of reaction. i also knew that it was a tough show and that he was asking tough questions. and i had done very few interviews, even for print, in those days, because it was the very early days of the magazine. a little under four years ago, a junior copywriter in esquire magazine's promotion department quit in a huff after he was refused a $5 raise. you ready? -and that refusal turned out to be one of the worst decisions ever made at esquire because the name of that copywriter was hugh hefner. you'll be fine. he is now the editor-in-chief of playboy magazine, which claims to have pushed esquire right out of first place. hugh, we checked this month's issue and found 20 pictures of girls in various stages of undress. now, sir, what's the kick that you get out of it? -at the time that playboy started, and this was one of the big reasons for beginning the book, we felt there as no magazine doing a really successful job of entertaining the audience that we're trying to hit. let's not hide behind altruistic motives, hugh. chicago magazine quoted you to the effect that sex will always be a primary ingredient of the magazine. isn't that really what you're selling? kind of a high-class dirty book? -um, well, i don't, uh... i'd make a pretty, uh, strong case, uh, in the feeling that the magazine, as far we are concerned, does not over-emphasize sex at all. you think that this really reflects the tastes and the standards of young, male americans? truthfully? truthfully, without any reservation, yes. -when i first did my interview with hugh hefner, i wasn't just playing devil's advocate with him. i thought that he was about to subvert the republic with some of the stuff that he was putting in playboy magazine. what he was doing, basically, was, i thought, vaguely pornographic, vaguely obscene, and he was putting a nice cover on it by finding interesting intellectual stuff to lend a little class to what was essentially a trifle tawdry. when i look at the tape, -i see a very nervous kid who didn't have his act together and was searching for words. mike didn't take me very seriously. he said, in between segments of the show, that he figured i'd be doing something else in five years, and i was hurt by that because it suggested to me that he didn't think i was sincere. mike wallace had torn me apart on national television, and all i could think was that by appearing on the show unprepared, i had done playboy more harm than good. -part and parcel of being in the public eye is, people are going to have something to say about you. you can either let it bother you, or if you are on the right side, just speak the truth. i had to do something. i needed to make it clear that i was making a magazine for a sophisticated audience. the first initial dream was to try to package the sort of magazine for a young urban man that i would enjoy if i was a reader, and the perception didn't go much further than that. -once that began, a time came when i really began to see the possibilities of livin' the life. if i was going to change people's opinion of playboy, i had to put myself in the spotlight and show the public that i wasn't just some creep peddling sex. i was the epitome of a modern gentleman. taking inspiration from famous figures like frank sinatra and characters like james bond, -i changed my look. i started dressing sharper and i even added a new accessory to my image, a pipe. for the first time, my photo was prominently featured in the pages of playboy paired with an article detailing my interests, fashion sense, musical taste and my rise to success. he invented the character and then became the character. i think, in a lot of ways, he was surprised how many american men responded to that and wanted to engage in a lifestyle on that level. -in 1959, i was even asked to appear in an ad from a chicago mercedes dealership, promoting their 300 sl convertible. in chicago, hefner was almost immediately the biggest celebrity in town, but that spread quickly to the rest of the country. for the next two years, i started giving interviews to any publication that would have me and little by little, i started gaining national notoriety. -i literally became a different person, and i think that the commitment in terms of changing my lifestyle, that wasn't so tough. there was already a fascination with playboy as a phenomenon. it was just a matter of sort of takin' off the clark kent outfit and puttin' on the cloak and flying' out the window. with my star on the rise, all kinds of new business opportunities were on the table for me, and in 1959, the most intriguing was from a local television producer from chicago named james mcginn. i want to make a variety show. -special guests, celebrity performers. playmates... dressed, of course. who did you have in mind to host? you. you're mr. playboy. -from broadway, from hollywood... at the end of the '50s, variety shows like the tonight show, sid caesar's show of shows, and the ed sullivan show were pulling in massive ratings. i realized if playboy could capture even a small percentage of those viewers, we could extend our brand far beyond just the magazine. i think the motivation for pursuing television was that it offered another platform to share the brand philosophy. -but even with the backing of a chicago tv station, i knew we faced tough competition. if we were going to succeed, we needed to come up with a concept that would really set us apart. playboy magazine was always about presenting a fantasy lifestyle... beautiful women, high-end design, and the latest in american culture. i wanted to bring that experience to a television audience, and just like that, -playboy's penthouse was born. the concept of playboy's penthouse was the magazine come to life. it was a show that was taking place in hef's living room, and hef was the host of the party. the show was going to be a huge undertaking, so i asked the entire staff of the magazine to pitch in, including one of our newest hires, dick rosenzweig. i began working for playboy in 1958. -i was hired as an advertising trainee. but then eldon came to me and asked me to be the production syndication manager of this new television show. nobody really in our company was qualified to do that, but we all chipped in, as we did in those days, and did double and triple duty. we may have had an amateur staff and a tiny budget, but playboy's growing reputation allowed us to lock in an incredible show line-up. stand-up comedian lenny bruce, best-selling author rona jaffee, -1958 playmate of the month joyce nizarri, and my personal favorites, jazz legends ella fitzgerald and nat king cole. i used jazz throughout the '50s as a major element in the magazine. that music spoke to me and contained those dreams that i identified with so much. we had our lineup complete, but with just days before we aired, we got word that broadcasters in the south were threatening to pull our show. you have to understand, this was the late 1950s, a time of racial segregation and growing racist sentiments in the south. -in 1959, this is four years after the montgomery bus boycott, a woman locked up for sitting in the front of a bus who paid the same fare as white people. in that same season, rights workers were killed trying to register people to vote and had to beg the department of justice and the fbi to intervene during that very ugly transition from slavery to jim crow desegregation. it was a very violent season of fear and polarization. protests on both sides were breaking out across the country, and with our program planning to show white and black people socializing, southern television stations were outraged. -so either we pull nat and ella or they pull us? pretty much. look, gentlemen, we cannot afford to lose the south. that's half our audience. the stations have all the power. -fuck the stations. it's censorship. nat king cole stays and so does everyone else. we're making the show i want to make, and if the south pulls us, they pull us. we start taping tomorrow night. -people who were not old enough to be around back then and see those playboy shows would probably see nothing wrong with them. why not have black artists and black musicians and black comedians and black guests? but in the '50s, that was very much a red flag to certain people and even stations in certain parts of this country, and hefner's intentional ability to break that barrier was really a public service on his part and rather daring. on october 24th, 1959, we premiered our first episode of playboy's penthouse, and sadly, the southern stations stuck to their guns and refused to air it. -but we had made something i was truly proud of. i'll admit, i was nervous to be the frontman on a brand-new television show, but i was excited to see my vision on tv. hello there. glad you could join us this evening. i'm hugh hefner, editor/publisher of playboy magazine, and your host. -this is playboy's penthouse. come on in and meet some of our guests. well, here we have eleanor bradley and ms. joyce nazarri, two of our most popular playmates, and lenny bruce, foremost exponent of sick humor and... oh! isn't that sick? -oh, boy, the champagne is really making my nose bubbly, uncle hugh. nat, what a surprise! great. i'm very pleased you could come up this evening. thank you. -come on in. i was proud to feature nat king cole and ella fitzgerald as two of our first guests. thank you. nat, this is spec, a.c. spectorsky. they represented the best in american jazz, and our show wouldn't have been complete without them. -these were very talented professionals in their line of work, jazz, and hefner has always felt that it was right and proper to have the most talented and interesting people on this show. it's great having you with us, ella. a real pleasure, as always. the group is here, and i wonder if you'd sing a song for us. well, we can try and do something for you. -it was so cleverly filmed and photographed because it was a subjective camera. you were the audience walking into that penthouse. you were watching them. you felt like you were there with them. and that's when i think hef started being a kind of living, breathing visual interpretation of that man that you're reading about. -it was exactly what i had envisioned. it was hip, fun, and thanks to our featured playmates, it was also sexy. i saw it as a chance for playboy to become bigger than just a magazine. but without the south, there was no guarantee that we'd pull in enough viewers to keep the show on the air. there were a few people who had the courage of their convictions to stand with us. -hefner's money and reputation was on the line. he identified unequivocally with social justice and with the civil rights movement of that time. the ratings data came in, and i wanted you to hear it from me first. is it good or bad? they want to make a 26-week commitment. -really? yeah. they're even asking about a second season. a second... congratulations, mr. playboy. -even without the south, the response was better than i had expected. the civil rights movement has a particularly profound effect on the younger generation and on those who want to see themselves as hip and cool. it is no longer cool and hip to be racist. and hugh hefner latches onto that notion. he feels it. -papers across the country were talking about us. the show was a hit, and we went on to book even bigger names. if he does that again, i'll punch him a shot in the mouth. sammy davis was a big visitor, as was tony bennett... -tony's gonna wall a little bit here. ... who was a great friend to playboy cy coleman, so it was just a litany of who the cream of the crop was in entertainment at that time. the success of playboy's penthouse only solidified our status as the top-selling men's magazine in the country. let's go for two. thanks. -we had a guaranteed circulation of over a million copies per month, and i was now running a company worth over $20 million. this is donna lynn, our playmate for november, and if donna doesn't look exactly like a waitress... but while my business was going great that's because in hollywood, the scene is a little different. ... not everything in my life was perfect. ... pretty special things, and we thought donna was pretty special, even by those standards. -hef invents the idea of the modern bachelor without really knowing if that person actually exists other than himself, and to tell you the truth, he wasn't even that person. he was married and living in chicago. we'll break for just a minute and we'll be right back. i wasn't seeing him that much. we would do the holidays, the family days, together, but we weren't acting together as a couple. -he lived his own life. he didn't do it to be cruel. it hurt, but it wasn't a deliberate cruelness. i always respected him, and i think he always respected me. i think we recognized that we were dissimilar. -we were dissimilar. and what i wanted, if i were in a marriage, what i wanted from it is something he couldn't give me. after a decade of marriage, millie and i decided that the best thing for both of us was a divorce. thank you. thank you. -i believed, initially, that marriage would be the answer to my romantic dreams, and it wasn't. and i think that that hurt and disappointment led me in another direction. now that i was on my own, nothing was stopping me from fully embracing the playboy lifestyle. so i did what every guy in his thirties dreams of doing. i bought a bachelor pad. -the four-story, 40-bedroom house was in the heart of chicago. i dropped $400,000, or about 3.2 million today. and if you think that sounds like a lot, i spent another ten times that on renovations. and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. -the main room is, of course, my favorite. it has woodwork in it and a size and magnificence that you rarely find in america today. it looks more as though it belongs on an english countryside than in the heart of chicago's near northside. the hi-fi here in the middle of the room was custom-built for the house, and down below the main room, we have the swimming pool. it's kind of like walking into a part of acapulco, -i guess you might say. there are palm trees there and a waterfall. hef had a pool in his living room, but hef didn't swim. hef had the finest wine, but he doesn't drink. he's the greatest host ever. -it was about other people's pleasure, for other people to enjoy. in addition to housing chicago's only private indoor swimming pool, my mansion was fitted with the latest technology, plus a bowling alley, hidden walkways, a movie theater, and a full catering kitchen. this house in chicago was amazing. me and peter boyle, we started looking all around the place, and we found ourselves in a swimming pool on the second floor. -and there was this one place where you slid down a pole and you got into this pillowed room that had a glass front and that was the pool. but the most legendary room of all was my master bedroom. i designed it to look like something out of a bond movie, and the centerpiece was a circular, rotating bed. and the point of this, of course, is not simply a merry-go-round. it's really turned the room itself into four separate living sections so that i can have it facing the hi-fi area, facing the tv over here, or for the work service or the fireplace. -i'd transformed the mansion into a bachelor's paradise, and in december of 1961, i published a ten-page spread in the magazine that gave my readers an inside look. every decision that my dad made was about fostering the brand, so the mansion in chicago was a reflection of the brand's values, which were his values. it was a place where you could have a really good time but still find intellectual conversation if you wanted to. it was an adult playground. -with the introduction of the mansion, i literally got out from behind the desk and then it was party time. what had started out as my home had now become the hottest spot in chicago. i spent money and invested money in the future of this magazine and company and this dream in a way that made no kind of business sense. all reason and logic were gone, and everything i touched turned into gold. -i was living the life i'd always dreamed of, and i'd finally become the ultimate bachelor. kingda ka... the world's tallest roller coaster. this is definitely something special. for engineering that packs a punch... -oh, my gosh! the sensation of a launch... this is something akin to jet-fighter stuff we're talking about. designers had to look to innovations from the past. this is one of the last remaining rides of its type in existence anywhere in the world. -these are u.s. navy f-18s. you can feel the power. what an experience. to make the impossible possible. captions paid for by discovery communications in ocean county, new jersey, stands an engineering colossus. this is kingda ka... the fastest roller coaster in america... and the tallest in the world... with jet-like acceleration. -arms down, head back, hold on! and twice as high as the statue of liberty at 456 feet. this finely tuned construction is the perfect balance of science and engineering. and roller-coaster engineer michael reitz was central to its construction. you take it when loaded, a 22,000-pound train, and you launch it up to 128 miles an hour in 3 1/2 seconds. -that in and of itself is an amazing feat. this record-breaking roller coaster has another engineering trick up its sleeve. built within the structure of the 456-foot top-hat tower drop of doom... the highest and fastest drop ride ever built. i think a ride of this size and this complexity doesn't come around very often. it takes a lot of time and it takes a lot of money and it takes a lot of energy to create something this dramatic. -this 3,100-foot-long, adrenaline-fueled ride has pushed roller-coaster design to its limits. a 12,500-peak horsepower launch system fires trains from zero to 128 miles per hour in an astonishing 3.5 seconds. after scaling the 456-foot tower, riders plunge into a 3/4 spiral, crest a second hill, and complete the ride in just under a minute. and if that's not enough, engineers also incorporated zumanjaro, a 415-foot, 90-mile-per-hour drop of doom. with each rise and fall, twist and turn, the rider experiences a mixture of acceleration or gravitational forces which form the foundation of the ride experience. -but to design and build a ride of this massive stature meant pushing engineering to match the limits of human endurance. we're always looking for ways to top something that's been done before. we want to have the steepest drop or the most inversions or the tallest or the fastest. but it's hard to innovate. i mean, physics are physics, you know? -you can only do so much to the human body. so, how do you build a ride this tall and this fast that people will still enjoy? this would've been impossible without the breakthrough design that brought gravity and physics together... the scenic railway. it's said that 17th-century russia was the birthplace of the roller coaster. giant ice slides were constructed to amuse the likes of catherine the great. -wahoo-shki! but the slides relied on cold weather. we are not amused. oy! that's my line. -in 1828, in pennsylvania, a gravity railway was built to bring coal down from the mountains. yeehaw! but it was so much fun that tourists started paying to use it, too. scream if you want to go faster. but while it took half an hour to ride down the mountain, it took four hours for mules to pull the carriage back to the top. -bored now. fortunately, one man realized the mountains didn't have to be real. american inventor lamarcus thompson was inspired by the gravity rides of the pennsylvanian coal railway. are you ready? oh, let's do this! -and science communicator kate mulcahy is in the danish capital, copenhagen... experiencing the ups and downs of thompson's truly game-changing design. this is the rutschebanen, one of the last remaining rides of its type in existence anywhere in the world. back in 1914, it was the pinnacle of roller-coaster design. its creator would go on to become known as the father of the gravity thrill ride. in 1887, thompson introduced the scenic railway, a purpose-built ride that incorporated artificial scenery. -with it, he innovated a 2,000-foot-long figure-8 route. the scenic railway allowed passengers to get on and off at the same point... and something else even more hair-raising. there's an electric motor that operates a chain lift that raises the passengers to the top. at the top of the 85-foot-high hill, the laws of physics take over. -as the cars roll down, gravity creates acceleration and kinetic energy until the next hill forms potential energy. this pattern then repeats as the free-flowing roller-coaster motion takes hold. the rutschebanen can reach speeds of up to 36 miles an hour. now, because this ride relies on gravity alone... ooh! -there's a brake person behind me... so if we get too fast, the brake person manually slows us down. without that, there's a chance that the carriages might lift off the track. with his breakthrough engineering, thompson's scenic railways were in high demand, and by 1888, his thrilling rides totaled 44 worldwide. -thompson laid the foundation for the modern roller coaster. he was a genius of his time. and without his work, this wouldn't nearly be as much fun. built from over 1,500 tons of tubular steel and over 40,000 metal bolts, kingda ka's truss frame construction is a modern engineering masterpiece. -and like thompson's scenic railway, it relies on a mixture of momentum and gravity to turn potential energy into kinetic energy... but with a spine-tingling twist. so, the easiest way to put energy into a roller coaster is what we've traditionally done. that's to take a train up to the top of a hill. this flips that on its head, and we're gonna put all of the energy in down on the ground. -hold on! the energy needed to reach that height is immense. when the train launches, it's unlike any other coaster. being pushed into the launch position. that amount of energy, from zero to 120 miles per hour in 3 1/2 seconds, it's so intense, you're stuck to the seat. -you can't move. i mean, you probably have never felt anything like it. oh, my gosh! whoo! known as an accelerator coaster, the required kinetic energy is generated at the launch. -oh, wow! we are up at the top already. but crucially, for passengers, the speed is converted into a ride experience that can be tolerated. this misconception that people have of height and speed relating to g-forces, it's really only related to the acceleration. i mean, as long as we stay within the accelerations that have been established and what the body is capable of handling, then we can go taller, we can go faster. -wow. that ride is intense every time. the human body can't feel speed, only changes in speed. but engineers can build controlled acceleration into the track itself. the radius and gradient of each curve is carefully calculated to keep g-forces within the realms of pleasure, not pain. -coming up with new ways to give people controlled fear, it can be challenging. it can be somewhat difficult because we've pushed the limits of physics and we've pushed the limits of building, but somehow or another, we seem to keep doing it. kingda ka's engineers have succeeded in building one of the most audacious rides on the planet. but to fire this roller coaster over a 456-foot tower over 500 times each day, engineers had to look to the past... the pilots inside the plane experience 6 g. -that's double what astronauts underwent during a space-shuttle launch. to create more impossible engineering. kingda ka is america's fastest roller coaster and the tallest on earth. in this 500-acre park, kingda ka stands head and shoulders above the rest. -but what truly makes it a standout ride is its explosive start. to do this, engineers have gotten rid of the traditional lift to launch the 11-ton train up a vertical mountain of steel known as the top hat. this launch system needs to be fast. it has to get that train over the top of that tower, and that's 456 feet. this presents some interesting challenges because you have to release all of this energy in a very, very short period of time. -in just 3 1/2 seconds, kingda ka can reach 128 miles per hour. but traditional chains or cogs simply couldn't cope with such explosive energy. so how you do you propel this super fast train? this engineering challenge would've been impossible without another great invention from the past... -the catapult launch. wow. engineer andrew smyth is at the patuxent river naval air station in maryland to reveal how the origins of the catapult launch hold the key to launching kingda ka. you can feel the power. what an experience. -these are u.s. navy f-18s, and their pilots are currently training for one of the toughest challenges a naval aviator will ever face... taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier. during the second world war, growing military demand for aircraft carriers introduced a pressing problem. producing large, expensive aircraft carriers in the numbers required just would not be possible. finding a way, then, to put flight decks on smaller ships was the solution. -but with a shorter deck to launch from, engineers would need to find a way to get up to takeoff speed faster over a shorter distance. and engineers drew from an ancient chinese invention. this is a crossbow. what makes it such a game-changing piece of engineering is its ability to store energy and release it on demand. so, i pull back the string... lock it... and then we're going to load the arrow. -all the energy is stored in the string and in the bow. and when i pull the trigger, the energy will be released. whoa. not bad. and with the advent of jets, british commander colin mitchell wanted to launch aircraft with a catapult mechanism like this, powered by steam from the aircraft carrier's boiler. -the secret of the steam catapult lies beneath the runway. beneath me are two cylinders with two pistons connected to this shuttle, which connects to the aircraft. two tow bars keep the shuttle in place for takeoff. at the point of launch, pressurized steam is released into the cylinders, forcing the aircraft down the runway. like an arrow shot from a crossbow, the f-18 remains attached to its shuttle... -before the tow bars disengage and release the plane. with the catapult launch, jets could take off on 75% shorter runways, reducing the necessary length of the carriers. to this day, his design is used by navies around the globe. in new jersey, engineer michael reitz and his team are taking the catapult-launch concept to fire off one of the world's fastest roller coasters. the sensation of a launch on this ride is unlike anything you've ever felt. -like a superbike, the acceleration might be half as much. i mean, this is something akin to jet-fighter stuff we're talking about. and like an f-18 jet, kingda ka's hydraulic launch has its own catapult system to propel the 11-ton train. its crucial mechanism is a track-mounted shuttle, called a catch-car. -this is what connects to the bottom of the train when it's launching. as the train rolls into its ready position, a lever known as a dog connects the train to the catch-car. so, the dog is on the bottom of the train, and when the train comes into the launch position, it falls inside of this pocket. in just a second, we'll hear the dog drop from the bottom of the train. there it is. -arms down... with the launch catapult in place... rolled back. we're locked and loaded. the roller coaster is now ready for one of the world's most thrilling engineering achievements. -arms down, head back, hold on! oh, man! when the catch-car disengages after 2,000 feet, pure momentum propels the riders up a 90-degree vertical track. staring at the ground. oh, man. -whoo! it never gets old. moving from zero to 128 miles per hour in 3 1/2 seconds is faster than a formula 1 car. but this speedy start requires serious power. and to produce such explosive energy from a standing start, engineers had to turn to the past... -check out this piece of engineering history. to make the impossible possible. kingda ka is america's faster roller coaster. this thrilling ride can go from zero to 128 miles per hour in a mere 3.5 seconds. but to achieve this degree of acceleration, engineers had to turn to a breakthrough innovation of the past... hydraulics. -physicist andrew steele is in the port of grimsby, england, the birthplace of a now-widespread energy-storage system made possible with hydraulics. when this tower was opened in 1854, it was actually the world's tallest nonreligious building. and even today, it stands high above everything else here in grimsby docks. during the industrial revolution, grimsby's desire to trade with europe was being stifled by an old, inaccessible harbor. -so engineer william armstrong took on the challenge of operating the harbor's huge, newly renovated gates and cranes, and he used water-powered hydraulics. but for this, he needed a high-pressure water supply, which he could get by building up... 309 feet, to be exact. check out this piece of engineering history. this is the guts of armstrong's machine. the way it works is that they would pump water from a nearby well up in this pipe, and it would go all the way up to the top of this tower into a 150,000-liter tank. -now, for every meter that you give some water, the force of gravity means that you gain .1 atmospheres of pressure. so by the time you're all the way at the top of this thing, you're looking at about 10 atmospheres of hydraulic pressure. with this tower, armstrong had created the world's first hydraulic accumulator. -because of gravity, water stored at heights like these pressurizes the water when released at ground level. from the tank above, a vertical pipe connects to machinery on the dock below. by opening a valve on each machine, the highly pressurized water allowed the gates to open and cranes to lift. grimsby tower turned around the harbor's fortunes, and although it now stands idle, armstrong's hydraulic genius lives on. -over 150 years later, in new jersey, engineers are harnessing hydraulics to rocket riders of the world's tallest roller coaster... kingda ka. engineer michael reitz is behind the scenes to reveal the inner workings of this 12,500-horsepower launch. nobody really gets to see this amazing piece of machinery back here. this really is the heart of kingda ka. -this is what enables us to launch that train. but unlike armstrong's gravity-fed 300-foot tower, kingda ka's hydraulic power is created by a variety of cutting-edge technologies. what you see in the middle is a giant reservoir holding a lot of the hydraulic fluid. down below, there's four 500-horsepower pumps. -those pumps pull the fluid out of that reservoir, and they pump it into this giant piston here. as the piston fills, it's pushed in, compressing nitrogen that's stored in four accumulators. once the system's charged, the valve on the piston is opened, and the pressurized nitrogen forces the fluid back out, into the winch mechanism, launching the train above. it happens so quickly, these accumulators are charged with the nitrogen to about 4,000 psi. for comparison, your car tire only takes about 40 psi. -when we launch a train, no one's allowed to be inside this hydraulic room. it is a sight to see. it's like a thunderous roar in here. the power of this technological marvel is truly impressive, but to complete america's fastest roller coaster, its designers had to draw on more inspired inventions from the past... oh! -wow! for a hundred years old, it still really packs a punch! to produce more impossible engineering. kingda ka, built in just 14 months using nearly 16,000 tons of steel. this 456-foot-tall mega ride towers above every other roller coaster in america and can be seen from as far as 20 miles away. -at speeds of 128 miles per hour... this accelerator coaster is engineered for fun and exploits nature's gravitational forces while still keeping the train on the tracks. in a sense, what the rider feels, the train also feels. so that means that as you're at the bottom of the tower and you head into that curve, if it's sticking me in the seat, it's sticking the train to the track. when it twists, there's some lateral forces that would happen with the train, and guide wheels will help control that on the track. on launch, the rider feels pushed back into the seat, which is linear g-force. -on sudden climbs and turns, the rider feels an increase in weight, which is positive g-force. and because the train itself endures these same forces, keeping it connected to the track is a big design challenge. though it's the most fun, the most difficult force to contend with is the sensation of weightlessness, called zero g. that's all a result of the shape of the track or the shape of the curve. again, what the rider feels, the train also feels. -so the train wants to come off of the track, so that's what we have to design for in controlling the train with respect to those g-forces. so, how do you prevent a 22,000-pound, fully loaded roller coaster from flying off the track in a state of weightlessness? engineers had to look to one of history's greatest innovations... up-stop wheels. dr. rhys morgan is in the seaside town of blackpool, england, to experience an historic piece of roller-coaster engineering. -i have to say, it's about 10 years since i've been on a roller coaster. i'm really quite nervous. this is the big dipper, a wonderful piece of historic engineering genius. the cars travel up to 35 miles per hour. here we go. -oh. oh! oh, my gosh! it went faster and had bigger hills than any roller coaster previously! it's all because of one man and his genius design. -john miller was an american designer and entrepreneur who patented over 100 key roller-coaster innovations. wow! for a hundred years old, it still really packs a punch! prior to miller's design, engineers faced a problem. ahh. -they could only design rides with relatively small hills because as the trains accelerated down and then uphill, the high speed would cause them to lift off or even fly off of the track. to overcome this problem, miller designed the up-stop wheel. oh, wow. this is really exciting. -so, here we are, underneath the roller coaster itself. and this is what it's all about. this is miller's innovative design. these are the underfriction, or up-stop, wheels. they go underneath the track. -here's the track over here. you've got the running wheels on top. and then, as the cars go up to the top of a hill, to prevent the cars from flying away, these up-stop wheels just push against the bottom of the track. it's such a simple and elegant solution, and it absolutely revolutionized the way roller coasters were designed for the future. the big dipper remains an icon of roller-coaster engineering. -wow! when you get to the top of the hill, you want to take off, but it's thanks to the up-stop wheels that you're not flying into the air. oh. up-stop wheels allowed engineers to build bigger and faster, and they're still used on every roller coaster designed today. oh, my god. -get me off this thing. ugh. in new jersey, engineers are not only using miller's up-stop wheels, they're incorporating an entire series of guide wheels crucial for the safety of the epic kingda ka. this is one of the trains, and we're gonna have a look at the wheels, which are controlling the motion of the train. -and up top, what you'll see is, we call this a road wheel or a load wheel. those are the wheels that the train runs on all the time. these are called the guide wheels, and they sit to the side of the track. and they control the left-right motion of the train. these are called the up-stop wheels. -made of ultra smooth and durable low-friction polyurethane, these up-stop wheels make or break the coaster's success. to demonstrate their importance, michael is once again taking to the coaster. oh! whoo! -after summiting the 456-foot tower, the 22,000-pound train plunges downward. this generates enough speed to climb the ride's hill, called camelback, which creates the zero-g sensation of weightlessness. these up-stop wheels are in contact with the track all the time, but they really don't come into play until the train feels a zero g or a negative g, an area where the train wants to come off. whoo! climb the hill. -when it wants to come off, these wheels engage hard and stop the train from lifting off the track. the up-stop wheels are so strong, they stop the equivalent weight of two adult elephants from flying off the track. here we are, back home again. these up-stop wheels are extremely important. that allows us to go faster and allows us to go taller, it allows us to do the things we want to do, because without them, there's really no way this train is gonna stay on the track. -the engineers of kingda ka are setting a new benchmark in extreme ride design. but to ensure each 128-mile-per-hour, adrenaline-fueled ride comes to a safe end, engineers had to look to the past... whoo-hoo! it's putting lots of toll on the steering system, on the suspension, but above all, the brakes. to produce more impossible engineering. -kingda ka in new jersey is the fastest roller coaster in america and the tallest on earth. but for michael reitz and the team, the record-breaking rides don't end there. we are standing in the station of zumanjaro, the tallest drop ride in the world. 415 feet tall, 90 miles an hour. ingeniously built within the roller coaster's top-hat tower, the zumanjaro drop of doom drives by gravity alone. -but with each 10-second, 90-mile-per-hour ride, the engineers had to design with safety in mind. anytime we design a ride, hands down, the most important thing to us is safety, and that means it has to stop and it has to stop reliably and it has to stop every single time. but achieving this was a colossal engineering challenge. when you've got a fully loaded gondola, you're trying to stop thousands of pounds in a relatively short distance. with the ride in constant use, a braking system susceptible to wear and tear is not an option. -so how can engineers ensure the drop of doom will safely stop before it hits the ground? this would've been impossible without the breakthrough discovery of... eddy-current brakes. this is awesome! these souped-up pickup trucks are going at incredible speed. -science communicator kate mulcahy is at rockingham racetrack in northamptonshire, england... to discover the pitfalls of braking in the most demanding of environments. when you've got vehicles traveling at such huge speeds, it's putting lots of toll on the steering system, on the suspension, but above all, the brakes. vehicle braking systems have traditionally relied on friction, no matter how extreme the conditions... as kate finds out firsthand. the way the brake system works is, when the driver presses on the brake pedal, the brake pads press against the disc, and that friction slows us down. but that same friction also has adverse side effects. -awesome. that was awesome. what we're looking at here is the braking pad, which, at the moment, is in pretty good condition. but if a pad is repeatedly subjected to high levels of friction, it's a different story. eventually, this friction will wear down the brake pad, and if you let it get way too far, you can end up with this kind of erosion here, which can be actually quite dangerous. -racing teams have the luxury of changing their pads after every race. but if a vehicle has to rely on extreme braking for months on end, it could spell disaster. over 150 years ago, french physicist léon foucault made a discovery that offered an ingenious solution. he identified a peculiar electrical phenomenon known as eddy currents. these emerged when a nonmagnetic metal, like copper, moved quickly by a magnet. -to demonstrate how eddy currents work, i'm going to do a very simple experiment using this apparatus here. first thing i have is a metal plate. it's made of copper. it's able to move freely on this slider, so it can slide up and down. -and i have a little mount. by introducing an egg, kate demonstrates the forces at work. what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna release my plate, send it down, and see what happens next. here it goes. -it gathers speed... oh! so, now, this time, i'm gonna repeat the experiment, but i'm just gonna introduce this very powerful magnet. so it's hovering over my metal plate. copper is nonmagnetic, so when it's stationary, it's not attracted to the magnet. -so, if i move my plate back up to the start... i'll add my second passenger. but when copper moves past a magnet, something incredible happens. we'll let it go, and hopefully, we should see a difference. wow! -so, there you have it. it slowed right down, and the question is, why? and the answer not only provided a road map that revolutionized braking systems the world over, it also paved the way for the drop of doom to brake safely and reliably. kingda ka in new jersey is the tallest roller coaster on the planet, and built into this high-flying structure is the zumanjaro: drop of doom, which is the tallest drop ride in the world. -but braking a carriage hurling downward at 90 miles per hour constantly and reliably would've been impossible without the breakthrough discovery of eddy currents. wow! so there you have it. it slowed right down, and the question is, why? eddy currents emerge when nonmagnetic metals like copper pass through a magnetic field. -that's because motion brings out the metal's electrically conductive qualities. when my copper plate passed underneath the magnet, it was in a changing magnetic field. this induces circular currents, also known as eddy currents, and the magnetic force of those pushes against the magnetic force of the magnet, and that slows the plate down. when scaled up, foucault's eddy-current systems were employed in wide-ranging braking systems everywhere, from high-speed trains to power tools. back in new jersey, -michael reitz is putting his faith in eddy-current brakes... to bring the world's tallest drop ride to a safe stop. oh, boy. we are just about at the top. what an amazing view. oh, my god. -here we go. oh, the anticipation. oh, boy! oh! hoo-hoo! -whoa! where are the brakes? ! oh! man, every time. -that drop is so intense. hoo! hits a speed of about 90 miles per hour on that drop. that's a lot of energy. and to remove that energy, you have the braking, which starts about 150 feet off the ground. -zumanjaro's track is rigged with a series of electrically conductive aluminum fins. when the gondola reaches the fins, its magnets on the rear electrically interact with them. this creates the crucial eddy currents, which slow the gondola down. incredibly, the effectiveness of this electrical braking system actually improves the faster the gondola goes, and michael demonstrates just how effective it is. what you have is two sets of magnets here, and in between the magnets, there's a gap. -if i take this aluminum fin and it put it inside of this gap, i can feel a little bit of resistance. it's not too hard. but as soon as i try to put any kind of speed on that fin and move it quickly, it becomes nearly impossible to do. it's... it's super hard. -i could get a workout doing that. because of this, slowing down a 90-mile-per-hour gondola is no problem, and these innovative, contactless brakes do the job day in, day out, for months on end. they are frictionless. they don't require much maintenance. and most importantly, they're on all the time. -they're failsafe. i would say that eddy-current brakes kind of changed the game in amusement rides because they're like a perfect solution. the beauty of magnetism. after 150 years of roller-coaster development, many believed that thrill-ride design had reached its limits. but with the opening of zumanjaro and kingda ka in 2005, engineers have pushed the boundaries further than many thought possible. -this is definitely something special. knowing that it was the tallest and the fastest and that i was part of that, it's cool. and seeing people come off it for the very first time, that just makes you happy. by drawing from the pioneers of the past, adapting their ideas, and making discoveries of their own... oh, wow! -engineers have taken roller coasters to a whole new level, making the impossible... whoa! where are the brakes? ! possible. -looking back down on this ride from above, i remember when we built it, and that kind of takes you back to all the challenges and all the time spent making it reality. and you just get a little proud. you're proud of what you create. how many people do you think are kidnapped in your average year? -it's around 300,000, and in 95% of those cases, it's never reported to the police. this is where crisis resolution comes into play. we operate in the shadows... a dark place where dialing 911 could get your nearest and dearest killed. our mandate is to save lives without the use of violence. -now, since the people we deal with often don't subscribe to that particular mandate, it is no walk in the park. so how do we do it? well, it boils down to objective versus stakes. now, this is really just a fancy way of saying œwant versus need. -now, you guys are scientists, you're epidemiologists, so your want might be to cure some unpronounceable, incurable disease. but your need is to feel like you are making a difference. now, a kidnapper may say that they want $6 million, but what they need is to provide for some critically ill loved one. now, if i can identify and satisfy that need, a hostage comes home safely. thank you. -thank you very much. mr. beaumont. quite inspirational. a welcome change from discussing the vectors for zika and ebola. thank you, dr. wallace. -happy to provide a diversion from the serious stuff. well, managing scientists is like herding cats. you gave me some good points. can i get you a drink? beer would be perfect. -so, you hand over money to kidnappers? sometimes. so, because of you, kidnappers keep kidnapping? i mean, you help them make money, right? well, not all kidnapping is about money. -sometimes people just want to make a point. well, if there was no money in it, you know, basically, it would just stop, right? cameron. no, you may have a point. i mean, if no one paid, if we stopped negotiating altogether, then kidnapping might subside... for a while. -problem is, it would take time for the kidnappers to get the message, so you'd have to accept the deaths of thousands just to test your hypothesis. would you be willing to do that? sacrifice for the greater good. sometimes you have to. anyway, it's all irrelevant. -i am so sorry, mr. beaumont. don't be. i have a teenager of my own. alexis tremblay, research director at the nec. a pleasure. -excuse me. i can't seem to get through to my son at all these days. my daughter has her moments, too. to be honest, it surprised me when cameron asked to come. he's never shown any interest in my research. -i don't know. i think i can see why he came. he found a friend. that must be a grad student. i noticed a few of them here. -right. your beer. thank you, sir. i hate to break up the party, but we've a plane to catch. ceo kidnapped in tunisia. -okay, well, duty calls. another time, perhaps. sure. thank you. sorry i had to drag you away from your adoring fans back there. -i don't know what you're talking about. you know they loved your talk. aren't they pretty. time to change the world. have you ever... -used your technique to, um... œinfluence a lady? before you were married, of course. that'd be unethical. that doesn't answer my question. was that... -sounds like. automatic weapons, multiple shooters. all right, return to the mainland. alert the police. call oliver and zara. -eric, you have no idea what's going on in there. so i'm gonna go find out. i need you to get back and run point. me? i'm not leaving you. -get to the boat. wait there. i'll get a situation report. everybody on the ground! on the ground... now! -on the ground now! get down! go on, by the window! down on the ground, right now! get back down! -stay down! bad news, people. bar's closed. come on. heads down! -get down! how fast can this thing go? inside. am i pleased to see you. what happened? -i didn't split on eric. he made me leave him on the island. we know that, max. are you okay? yeah. -do the hostage takers know you got off the island? they took the building just as we were leaving. it was an unchartered boat, so i'm pretty sure they don't. so as far as they're concerned, no one outside the island even knows there's a hostage-taking. yeah. -i... i spoke to the opp commander. he's a fan of eric's, knows what he does. he's agreed to keep it quiet... for now. good. -any indication as to motive? all eric said was that there was 8 to 10 of them and they're all young. so, there it is... an island. impossible to approach without being detected. who are you calling? -saunders. we need a negotiator. he can be here in 45 minutes. eric said i should take the lead on this. he did? -she is his second. when do i stop being a newbie? lead the way. we're gonna be passing around some bags. place your belongings and cellphones inside. -don't be shy. and don't worry. it's not like you'll be needing them. i want to be with my son. excuse me. -shut up! we need to stay calm. your son's okay where he is. the less we antagonize them, the better. mom. -i'm okay. these aren't rich people you're stealing from. this is a conference for scientists and researchers. he's boring me. here. -take mine. everybody do as he asks. you see? his speech wasn't just talk. the art of negotiation actually works. -you give me what i want, i'll let you live a short while longer. we have a deal? my drops... i need them. -this is what you do, right? handle situations like this? normally, from the outside. but yeah, it's not my first rodeo. does that mean you know how to get us out of here? -please tell me you do. i'll find out what they want and give them what they need. is it money that they want? they've gone to an awful lot of trouble for a robbery. i need to contact my team. -but you just gave up your phone. yeah, that's right. what do they want? commander corman? this is zara hallam, investigator, and oliver yates, psychological profiler. -beaumont's team. glad you're here. have you had any contact with the hostage takers? none. and we've kept out of sight while we go over assault scenarios. -there's no angle we can approach the island without sending a five-minute warning we're coming. and even if we manage to hit land, the building itself is a rabbit warren. clearing it room by room, all potentially rigged with traps, it's gonna take some time. well, all the more reason to attempt negotiations first. i'll have to clear that with the commissioner. -having eric on the inside could be useful, but no contact from the assailants suggests they're not exactly the negotiating type. what would your first move be? we need to identify and profile the hostage takers. it's essential to understanding who we're negotiating with. we gather the hostage takers were in the audience with eric. -which means they would've needed conference ids to get past security. can you access the conference database? we're looking for 8 to 10 people, all in their early 20s. okay. we'll share our i.t. -i'll check with hq for anything more. thank you. i'll get started on the veb. i'll be right there. you're doing fine, max. -just don't forget to breathe. where the hell are you going? i want to help your boss. sit down. whoa! -let the negotiator through. i want to see him work his magic on me. my cellphone is in that bag over there. and in four minutes, my team is going to call. i see. -this is the part where you identify some common ground to build rapport between us. if i don't answer when it rings, my team will assume something's wrong and take action. what kind of action? police action. i'm presuming a bunch of cops coming across the water isn't gonna help you achieve whatever it is you're trying to do here. -well, if i let you answer the phone, you might say something stupid. in which case, you'd shoot me, like those guards back there. your only way of keeping the police away is by letting me answer. you're good. he is very good. -all right, bring me the damn phones. you know what, old man? i kind of hope you do say something stupid. okay, so, we got eight registered attendees between the ages of 19 and 23. all submitted false names, none with any ties to the nec. -so eight hostage takers who got credentialed somehow. criminal records? doesn't look like it, but these four all have a history of activism... environmental, anti-animal testing, some pretty extreme left politics. the national epidemic center is renowned for discovering cures for some of the most dangerous diseases out there. what kind of activist would have a problem with that? -okay, commissioner's patient to a point. she's willing to see if beaumont can set up a negotiation, but it's got to be fast. okay, good. thank you, commander. we've id'd some of the hostage takers. -seems they're activists, suggesting an environmental motive. send everything you've got to my people, and we'll run it through our cpic database. how long ago did eric send you that text? 1 hour, 58 minutes ago. t-minus two minutes. -protocol. for when a team member is taken hostage. we make a prearranged call. i'll inform the commander. saunders is a good first, and he also knows protocol. -you really think she's got this? she'd better. eric's bet his life on it. maybe they're not gonna call. ring, for god's sakes. -this is fun. speaker. and if i hear any word that i don't like... eric speaking. eric, this is maxine carlson from the crisis resolution head office. -hey, maxine. i think i was late with my last check-in, wasn't i? that's right... you were. we were just about to activate our rescue protocols. well, the good news is, i'm fine. -you don't need to come get me. i know i'm expected on a plane to tunis, but, the damn traffic en route to the airport is impossible, so i'm gonna need time to find another way. that's enough. did he just hang up on us? someone hung up for him. -damn traffic en route to the airport is impossible. what does that mean? œtraffic en route is impossible. okay, first port of call is establish decision maker. he's saying negotiating with the leader is gonna be impossible. -i'm gonna need time to find another way. œfind another way... someone else. he needs time to find someone else he can negotiate with. well, the good news is, i'm fine. -you don't need to come get me. he wants us to keep the police from storming in there. then let's hope he gets someone talking to us pronto. the opp won't hold off for long. let's go. -you see? he is smart. he proved that he's worthy of my trust. did you listen to the part of my talk where i said i would do anything, say, help anyone if it would save lives? i already knew that. -i read about you when i knew you were gonna be here. pretty impressive. honestly, not that impressive. what i'm saying is, i can help you. it's too late for that, old man. -look at the world around you. terrorism, poverty, water rising, wildlife dying. where were you then? where have you been? all of you! -finally. all right. take him. take me? take... -where? ! don't worry. it'll be quick and painless. let me... -let me go in his place. don't worry! where are you taking me? ! you want to be brave, but what you need to do is shut up. -they're going to kill dr. wallace. i don't think so. why not? the guy in charge wouldn't hesitate to kill in front of us. he's looking for something. -max. oliver thinks he's identified the leader. lucas hansen... not your typical hostage taker. impressive gpa. -graduate degree in poli sci at 22. donated half his scholarship to a cancer charity. spent two months de-oiling birds after a tanker broke up in puget sound. and if that didn't qualify him for sainthood, he also volunteered at a shelter for runaway youth. de-oiling birds? -what a monster. what makes you think he's calling the shots? 12 years ago, a pipeline burst in his hometown. water supply was contaminated. both his father and younger brother died of lymphoma within five years. -no charges were ever laid. government deemed the accident œunpreventable. personal trauma mixed with an ideological disposition... the profile associated with stochastic terrorism. lone wolves not engaged in organized extremism. -the tsarnaev brothers, the san bernardino killers. so eric is right. he's an ideologue who will not negotiate. that's it. we got to go in. -no, not... not yet, commander. then what? excuse me. it's the commissioner. saved by the bell. -what are you gonna do? eric is counterintuitive. he succeeds because he doesn't do the obvious. maybe i was wrong all along. i just assumed the hostage takers should remain in the dark, but maybe they need to know we're onto them. -you were right. he's okay. you're next. get up! what are they doing? -yeah, i'm gonna see what i can find out. here you go. i'm not thirsty. yes, you are. what happened in there? -they searched me, emptied my pockets. took a photograph. photograph? close-up of my face... some kind of special camera. -special how? get back to your seats. hostage-taking 101. keep your hostages hydrated. i need to know everything your organization does. -leave nothing out. you said remaining out of sight gave us a significant advantage, and now you want to do the complete opposite? yes... sirens, boats, choppers, even. the more visible the police presence, the more pressure it puts on the hostage takers. eric will use that pressure to force a negotiation. -you also said this was an ideologue who won't negotiate. i got to be honest here... your back-and-forthing isn't exactly flooding me with confidence in your ability. look, we need to buy eric time so he can negotiate, commander. negotiate with whom? -that's exactly what he'll be working on as we speak. this show of force will give him leverage. okay. i'll give you your show of force. but i hope you know what you're doing. -the national epidemic center is about curing infectious diseases. anything off-book? high-stakes? we handle a lot of level 4 material. level 4? -what is that? reserved for the most dangerous... aerosol-transmitted, fatal to humans. any level 4 samples ever gone missing? a sample was stolen during a break-in at our archive four months ago. a sample of what? -no one knows for sure. rcmp, homeland security both investigated. whoever took it covered their tracks. you think it's connected. what is that? -the police. they're rescuing us. no, that's not what this is. get them to the basement... now. everybody, downstairs! -let's go! let's go! they found us. check the scanners. find out what they're planning. -gutsy move. gutsy or crazy? you bet on eric. i like those odds. then where is he? -let's go! move, move! let me talk to your boss. not happening. move. -the police launch an assault, a lot of people get hurt... mainly you and your friends. i can stop this. let's move! let's move! lucas. -clever man. that phone call... you ratted us out. you can't expect to lock down 100 people without someone getting the word out. what's important now is that the police know, and you have to deal with that. i can tell you what to say. -what are you gonna do if the police storm the island? start executing old people. old people. right. now, you know that i will do anything to avert loss of life. -if that means convincing the cops to back the hell off, then that's what i'll do. he's calling! contact. maxine carlson speaking. maxine again. -lucas. the police have you surrounded. yeah, well, call them off or i'm gonna start putting bullets in vital organs. if you want me to persuade the police to abort, i'm gonna need to offer them an incentive, lucas. -let me guess... you want me to release some hostages? you don't need all those people. you're asking me to reduce my leverage. how stupid do you think i am, ms. carlson? -i strongly advise you to comply, ms. carlson. if you come breaking in here, you'll spread terror and wind up killing who knows how many. that's enough. eric's sending us another message. okay, intonation rise and fall was clear enough. -keywords... œbreaking in, spread terror. "œwind up killing" œspread. this conference is about infectious diseases. infections spread. -he's saying they're gonna use a disease as a weapon. okay, what about œbreaking in? something stolen from the nec? from the lab? commander? -are you certain about this? bryce, what is it we should know about? you need to tell us everything. i need some clearance before i can say anything further. commander has requested you return to base. -over. he did it. they've called off the police. what happened? what about the police? -they're gone. you... you're next. they still haven't found. let's go. what they're looking for. -when you said you couldn't get through to cameron, why do you think that is? not sure. until a couple years ago, he was my sweet boy... engaged, tuned in to the world. he takes it out on you. he still blames me for kicking his dad out. -i think he feels like he doesn't fit in anywhere. come with me. if you reveal any of the following classified information, you'll be subject to criminal prosecution. understood. the nec's hq in ottawa has been under lockdown since last month, when a trace amount of a viral sample went missing. -tell me more about this archive at the nec. what are the samples stored in? titanium containers... specially designed. they can only be opened with a retinal scan. -who's authorized? define œviral sample. a genetically modified strain of the flu virus known as h1n1. the nec was working on a cure, but when they modified it, wound up with something more lethal. the transmission vector is aggressive and unpredictable. -best case, it could kill a few hundred. worst case, a few hundred thousand. maybe more. only the highest-level employees have clearance to the most hazardous materials. alexis... are you one of those high level employees? -if lucas broke into the nec... it's stochastic terrorism. release a deadly virus, cause massive loss of life, unleash chaos. dr. wallace said that they took his picture on a special camera. what if it has the capacity to bypass or trick a retinal scanner? -they could open the container without anyone knowing. my god. i'm the only one at the conference with clearance. it's me. they're looking for me. -if lucas gets hold of that virus, who knows what he could do. as soon as i report this, i will be ordered to launch an assault. you do that, and a lot of those hostages are gonna die. well, not as many as if they release that virus. -give eric one more hour. if he tries to leave the island with it, you have the means to stop it. no. this is above my pay grade and non-negotiable. soon as my team's prepped, we're... we're going in. -we have to stop him. we have no jurisdiction here. we have to get eric more time. something's still missing. who's next? -ma'am? you asked to keep your drops earlier. that's right. do you wear contact lenses? yes. -i was hoping you were gonna say that. can i borrow them? pardon me? your contacts. crazy as it sounds, if you don't give them to me, we're all gonna die. -here. put these in. don't let them see. i don't wear contact lenses. i'm hoping it'll distort your retinas enough to fool the camera. -don't let them see. hey. got it. the hostage takers used the account of a senior researcher, alexis tremblay, to get credentialed for the conference. she's the woman that was flirting with eric. -that's not unusual. she has a son in there, about 19. he was giving eric a hard time. can you find anything on him? already did. -cameron tremblay. yeah, that's him. these things hurt. you. your turn. -now! seems cameron has been hanging out for the past two months in a chat room with one keri morel. one of our hostage takers. their conversations are a mix of misguided idealism and racing hormones. i think she targeted him. -that could be it. cameron used his mother's access to get them credentialed into the conference. so they could have a mole on the inside. eric will figure this out. more than likely. -he'll use it. i'm gonna tell commander corman. oliver. thank you. sit. -no blinking. it's not her. well, what do you know. you. let's go. -the lenses worked. they're still looking. these things are killing me. don't take them out just yet. there's no one looking. -hey, mom? you should go back. we don't want to antagonize the hostage takers. i want to talk to my mom. just a second, honey. -mom, are you crying? what's wrong with your eyes? i'm okay. you don't wear contacts. it's you they want. -you don't have to do this, cameron. i know they asked you to pretend to be a hostage so you could spy on us. what are you talking about? don't. lucas! -lucas? cameron. what is going on? whatever he told you this is about, it's not. it's all about him. -what's up? it's my mom. she used contact lenses to screw with the camera. she's the one who can open it. isn't this typical? -you asked for our trust, and then you betray us. trust needs to be earned. and then it's rewarded. let's try her again, shall we? all right, let's go. -i said let's go! no! baby! why are you doing this? ! -cameron, please! why are you doing this? ! what is it? what's going on? -our explosives detector just picked up a trace signal and located it to this spot. what the hell? that's ammonium nitrate. this much could destroy the whole building and everyone inside. this is his backup plan in case the police surrounded him. -he knew we'd have to base ourselves here. hey, this thing could go any second. he won't trigger it until he's unlocked that virus. can you defuse it? we're gonna try. -all right people, listen up. we're going in hot. you, get bdu here right now. you two, come with me. yes, sir. -roger that. all right, guys, let's get things in motion. you two with me. let's go. commander. -eric has a way to negotiate this. what are you talking about? cameron. he's the son of one of the scientists. he's working with lucas, but he's not really one of them. -and his mother's present. i know somehow eric will use that against lucas. you just have to give him time. and i'll somehow win the powerball. there's a madman in there with a deadly virus and a detonator. -the end. eric beaumont hasn't lost a hostage in 17 years. i know he'll come through. i admire your faith in him, i really do. you have an hour of daylight left. -give me half that. if we hear nothing, then... go in. we have a chance here, however small, for zero casualties. there are two guards down already. all right. -i'll give you half an hour. whatever he's paying you, it's not enough. thank you. well? okay. -he's giving us half an hour. i have an idea that will help eric. thank you. we have a problem. chatter on the police radio. -they found the explosives. mr. beaumont. can you negotiate with these people? not with their leader. he's too far gone. -then who? lucas wants you. careful. safety's off. so, you got the virus. -congratulations. but i sense something has gone wrong. you're gonna negotiate our way out of here. they discovered your escape plan. so, what was it? -some kind of distraction to divert their attention while you got away? enough explosive to blow your team sky-high unless you make the phone call. which is exactly why you're gonna negotiate our way out of here. well, you could do that even if i agree. yeah, well, you'll just have to trust me. -i thought you were listening. you need to build a rapport in order to earn trust. if they've found your explosives, the police have covered every route out of here. there is no negotiator in the world that can get you off this island. you are stuck, my friend. -yeah, well, what's stopping me from releasing this here and now then? lucas, that's not what... the plan? let me guess. he told you he's gonna use it as leverage to bring about the change you all so desperately want. -'course, he'd never actually release it, right? they would die for me. will you let your team die because of you? as much as i love my guys, it's hardly a tough choice if it means saving the lives of hundreds of thousands. is this what you signed up for? -killing every person you know and love so he can go down in history as the man who changed the world? i'm not bluffing. i'll do it. i know you will. two more minutes. -he'll come through. make the call. where were you? i just... do it! -you know, truth is, i agree with you. my generation has screwed up. we wasted natural resources, we polluted the oceans, we tanked the economy, but releasing that virus is not going to bring down the system, if that's what your goal is. it's just gonna make it worse. damn. -straight to voicemail. i don't know. do i... do i leave a message? let's shoot this smug bastard. -you're kidding me, right? give her a moment. committing murder can be a life-changing decision. lucas, you... you never said anything about releasing the virus. sacrifice for the greater good. -that is what you meant, isn't it? well, you know what they say. want something done right... you got to do it yourself. better he lives. trust me. -thank you. so, how'd it go over here? you miss me? yeah. i did. -you know i did. you just want me to feel needed. i knew you could handle it. thank you. thank you. -not wishing to overstep boundaries, but are you out of your mind? well, that depends on the context, oliver. maxine's only been with the team for a few months. you had no way of knowing whether she'd succeed. and what's worse, it's unfair to maxine. -people could've died today, and she would have to deal with that the rest of her life. you, of all people, should understand that. whose idea was it to broadcast to the hostage takers that the police had found a bomb? maxine's. she knew that it would force lucas to come to me. -yeah. yeah, pretty smart. then i guess she was ready. and i guess... you... -i was right. right, yeah. you love to hear that, don't you? it is music to my ears, oliver. music to my ears. -eric: how many people do you think are kidnapped in your average year? it's around 300,000, and in 95% of those cases, it's never reported to the police. this is where crisis resolution comes into play. we operate in the shadows... -a dark place where dialing 911 could get your nearest and dearest killed. our mandate is to save lives without the use of violence. now, since the people we deal with often don't subscribe to that particular mandate, it is no walk in the park. so how do we do it? well, it boils down to objective versus stakes. -now, this is really just a fancy way of saying "want versus need." now, you guys are scientists, you're epidemiologists, so your want might be to cure some unpronounceable, incurable disease. but your need is to feel like you are making a difference. now, a kidnapper may say that they want $6 million, but what they need is to provide for some critically ill loved one. -now, if i can identify and satisfy that need, a hostage comes home safely. thank you. thank you very much. mr. beaumont. quite inspirational. -a welcome change from discussing the vectors for zika and ebola. thank you, dr. wallace. happy to provide a diversion from the serious stuff. well, managing scientists is like herding cats. you gave me some good points. -can i get you a drink? beer would be perfect. so, you hand over money to kidnappers? sometimes. so, because of you, kidnappers keep kidnapping? -i mean, you help them make money, right? well, not all kidnapping is about money. sometimes people just want to make a point. well, if there was no money in it, you know, basically, it would just stop, right? cameron. -no, you may have a point. i mean, if no one paid, if we stopped negotiating altogether, then kidnapping might subside... for a while. problem is, it would take time for the kidnappers to get the message, so you'd have to accept the deaths of thousands just to test your hypothesis. would you be willing to do that? sacrifice for the greater good. -sometimes you have to. anyway, it's all irrelevant. i am so sorry, mr. beaumont. oh, don't be. i have a teenager of my own. -alexis tremblay, research director at the nec. a pleasure. excuse me. i can't seem to get through to my son at all these days. my daughter has her moments, too. -to be honest, it surprised me when cameron asked to come. he's never shown any interest in my research. i don't know. i think i can see why he came. he found a friend. -that must be a grad student. i noticed a few of them here. right. your beer. thank you, sir. -i hate to break up the party, but we've a plane to catch. ceo kidnapped in tunisia. okay, well, duty calls. another time, perhaps. sure. -thank you. sorry i had to drag you away from your adoring fans back there. i don't know what you're talking about. you know they loved your talk. aren't they pretty. -time to change the world. have you ever, uh... used your technique to, um... "influence" a lady? before you were married, of course. -that'd be unethical. that doesn't answer my question. was that... sounds like. automatic weapons, multiple shooters. -all right, return to the mainland. alert the police. call oliver and zara. eric, you have no idea what's going on in there. so i'm gonna go find out. -i need you to get back and run point. me? i'm not leaving you. get to the boat. wait there. -i'll get a situation report. man: everybody on the ground! on the ground... now! woman: -on the ground now! man #2: get down! go on, by the window! woman: -down on the ground, right now! get back down! stay down! bad news, people. bar's closed. -come on. man: heads down! _ get down! -_ _ how fast can this thing go? inside. am i pleased to see you. -what happened? i didn't split on eric. he made me leave him on the island. we know that, max. are you okay? -yeah. do the hostage takers know you got off the island? they took the building just as we were leaving. it was an unchartered boat, so i'm pretty sure they don't. so as far as they're concerned, no one outside the island even knows there's a hostage-taking. -yeah. i... i spoke to the opp commander. he's a fan of eric's, knows what he does. he's agreed to keep it quiet... for now. -good. any indication as to motive? all eric said was that there was 8 to 10 of them mm. and they're all young. -okay. take my phone. and text mom-mom if you have any trouble. got it. and don't look at the pictures. -no. uh, just take my phone. and don't you look at her pictures. stop. manager to the front, register three. -on your left. i mean right. you look like a guy who would know where to find stool softener. aisle five. get the generic. -it's the same stuff, a dollar less. that's how they get you. who's they? ah, you'll see. cool. -thanks, mister. turkey meatball? sure. so, when did you decide to get into the sample game? right after i got into the teen pregnancy game. -sophia hughes? hold on. let me call you right back. who wants to know? it's mrs. mandrell, michaelangelo's mother. -you bit him once when you two were in kindergarten? you'll have to be more specific. sweetie, where's your mom? are you shopping here alone? yeah, but don't tell her. -she's getting all the hair ripped off her lip and is cranky enough. no. i'm calling her, though i get no joy in looking like the better mother. are you sure? she's been in there a long time. -maybe she's stuck in the freezer. maybe she's getting her eyes checked. that's costco. well, maybe she's trying on pants. still costco. -are we not at costco? oh! dear! excuse me! excuse me! -excuse me! how did she find a spot so quick? sophia, you know you are not supposed to run away from whoever is watching you! i didn't! -mom-mom sent me into the store alone. hi! we're here. just in case there's a lawsuit... what-what... -okay, come on. i-i am so mad. i feel like i could just... no, no, no, honey. don't overactivate your testosterone. -that's how you got the mustache in the first place. whether or not you feel like sophia is ready to do things on her own doesn't really matter, okay? it's not the same world that it was when i was a kid. a lot more robots now. oh, don't, john. -aren't we gonna take mom-mom and pop-pop's groceries to them? no. because i'm still too mad at them. okay. -but i need to put one thing in the freezer before it melts. hey, did you find all of these things by yourself? mm-hmm. i got a good deal on stool softener. it's generic, so it's a dollar less. -they didn't get me. huh. okay, you know what, why don't you take all of these things over to mom-mom and pop-pop's? aren't you gonna come with me? no. -i think you got this. really? yeah. thanks! my body may be renting out cars, but my soul will be here watching you play a video game -that i do not understand. god, i love you. _ i feel bad. you'll be slaving away in corporate hell while i'm kicking back in the lap of luxury. -no, no, no. we agreed. okay? i will make the money while you make the music. until the music makes the money. -and then we'll have a tiny mansion. or just a regular small house. god, what am i saying? i don't want success to change us. so, this is good-bye? -this may be the longest we've been apart since that orthodox wedding, but our love will get us through. there's a lot of reasons people rent cars, but i find the number one reason is they need a car temporarily. we're like a library. but instead of renting books, we rent cars. are you writing this down? -no need. it's all up here. newbie's got the goods! sorry, it's my husband. you're married? -just rent the cars. or whatever. i don't care. just... hey, babe. -could you tell that i was smiling with my voice? 'cause they are very big on that here. yeah. uh, will you tell me what you think of this? that sounds good. -i was just tuning up. no, i was just talking to my manager. he's gonna teach me how to walk around a car and look for scratches. she's married. eh, forget it. -just check for scratches. or don't. whatever. hey, babe, i got to go. my bosses are mad at me. -or maybe they're not. i don't know. um, clementine... clem... is clementine under you? -no. she left me. lasted longer than i thought. what's that? my playhouse got some of your mail. -thank you. mm-hmm. hey, do you want to hear my new song? you seem like you're in a bad place, so... i'm gonna say yes. -let me stop you right there. i think i left the stove on in the playhouse. okay. should i wait for you? oh... my... -god. vent. i am here to listen. it was... amazing! what? -really? yes. i got someone to take the insurance, and now i'm employee of the month. wow. full day. -yeah. hey, how did writing go? oh, uh, i could use your help, actually. you want to vibe on some stuff? oh, you know, i-i would, but i just... -i gave so much at work today. i used all of my creativity answering the phones. i think clementine and i are getting divorced. well, that lasted longer than i thought. work is her whole life now. -and i used to be her whole life. i mean, you're a stay-at-home husband whose wife also has a high-powered job. how do you deal with it? well, i... i think she checks that from work. -um... you're right, okay? it's not always easy. but you got to be supportive. okay? even when you have not a care in the world about who is eating all of the baby carrots out of the office fridge. -you got to be supportive. you saw me turn that off, right? yeah. it's just she's leading a totally separate life now. for six hours a day. -it's like they're not even trying to adhere to labor laws. well, quit looking at her work life like it's a bad thing. it's not. it's great. it's what you want. -it's sexy. but i'm lonely. we're not used to being apart. okay, look, this is gonna sound weird, but.. a couple can grow together by spending time apart. -or at least that's what mom-mom told me before i went off to college. look, being alone is rad. i mean, i have taken more naps in the last three months than lark. and jen has no idea. greg, it's on now. -so, can't wait to talk when i get home. you know, if you're awake. damn it. and, tyler, whatever you do, don't write her a song. here are your keys. -it's the white scion next to the white scion. huh? that's the husband? maybe we have a shot.

(sighs) -what's the matter? i am just dreading this bachelor party. i'm gonna be stuck there all night, unable to leave, and all i feel like doing is staying in with you and watching shark tank. oh, come on. -there's plenty of time to do that. relax, go hang out with mike. how bad could it be?

(sobs) oh, god... i'm sorry. -did you want me to wait? no, no, you... you need to live your life. from now on, just pretend i'm dead. don't talk like that. you don't know what it's like in here. -you don't know what it's like. what's that mark on your face? josh, did someone hurt you? it's nothing. what happened, josh? -a titty hit me in the face. (sighs) oh, josh. i don't suppose the, uh, governor's answered my letters. no. that do-nothing son of a... -josh... hey, hey, hey! josh! hey. (whispers) hey, hey, hey... -(sobbing) you stay with me. stay with me, all right? listen to me, okay? you do whatever you need to do to get through this, all right? -you do your shots, you take your lap dances, and you come home to me, all right? but, josh, don't do anything stupid, okay? aah!

(cheers) mm. yeah! drink up, shitbirds. -let's do this! where's josh? i think he went that way. joshie! josh. -josh! god damn it, where is he? (grunts) (bottle clatters into distance) what the hell? -(whispers) no. josh? josh? (roars) josh! hey, man, could we go ahead and cut the cake? -(whispers) whatever. cool. i'll start the traditional way by separating the two halves. (melancholy piano music) perfect. -okay, great. excellent. tom will be here. liz will be there. the bridesmaids are here. -uh, looks like the only thing i need now is the best man. yeah. still no best man? uh, no, no, he... he still hasn't made it yet. okay, so wait. -why isn't mike here? ah, you know him, he's... he's a real party animal. he's probably just hungover. i thought you guys quit at, like, 10:30 last night. -i-i... i quit at 10:30 last night. it's a possibility they might have gone a teensy bit longer. josh, you bailed? i didn't bail. -i did not bail. josh. (mouths) yeah, okay, they think i did. just, i'd like... it's not a big deal. i left a bit early. -who cares about some stupid party? who wants to see the bachelorette party pictures? oh, my god, me, me, me, me, me. oh, my god, that was the craziest night we've ever had. but also the most important. -it cemented our friendship forever. guys, i feel the exact same way. i know we made you do a few things that made you uncomfortable. but you suck it out. -and the significance of that was not lost on us. yeah, i feel like this conversation could probably happen some other time. lucy, we love you. and because of that night and, like, how long you stayed... oh, for (bleep) sake. -we always will. aw. you guys, i love you too. (squeals cheerfully) - (giggles) (whimpering) -okay, i get it. i'm sorry. i'm sorry i left early. but it's not a big deal. mike doesn't hold grudges. -(eerie string music) aah! (dramatic orchestral music) (ominous musical flourish) all right, nana, there you are. -you're all set. joshie. joshie, we may have a teensy little issue. what? mike is finally here. -but while we have a seat for him, we don't have any for his henchmen. for his-his henchmen? what? (cackling) (sinister music) -okay, boys, it's showtime! go get him, boss. yeah! show him. who the (bleep) are these guys? -mike, are you... are you all right? never better, joshie boy. sorry to crash your little party. well, you didn't crash it. you were invited. -it's... you're the best man. this is a wedding rehearsal. (cackling) what are you... -ah, champagne. don't mind if i... don't! that's kinda wasteful. (cackles) (screeching) -can you please just calm down? oh, i wish i could, but... (sniffs) something's burning. (chuckles) toasts. "a" is for "amour," which josh and lucy truly feel. "b" is for "belonging." -that's right. as soon as liz is done, my toast is gonna blow this place sky high. (laughs) yeah. clock's ticking, idiot. who are you? -"e" is for "embark." their new journey has begun. i'm pretty sure our email said we have to keep the speeches between three and five minutes. length is the least of your worries, joshie boy. this card's about your herpes scare. -oh, my god. this card's about isis. why? this deck of cards is what can only be described as wheelchair humor. (ominous musical flourish) -mike, you're being an asshole, okay? you're gonna ruin my rehearsal dinner. you ruined my bachelor party! i'm sorry i left, okay? but can you really blame me? -who the hell wants to get blackout drunk at a shitty strip club? well, you do, or at least you used to. yeah, used to! used to! -i don't like doing that shit anymore. yeah, or is it that you just don't like me anymore? why are you so hung up on this? it was just a party. no, it wasn't just a party, man. -it was our last chance to hang out, and you left without even saying good-bye. (sighs) and finally "z." "z" is for "zarathustra," which i think speaks for itself. -(scattered applause) are there any other toasts? please... don't worry. i'm not gonna ruin any more of your life. -i... (sighs) mike... mike, can i talk to you without your neon beatniks? mike? (sighs) hi. mike, it's me, uh, again. -i'm-i'm really, really sorry, man. i mean it. i'm-i'm sorry. just please call me back, please. (sighs) -hey. hi. any luck? uh, no, no, i think he's still pretty upset. well, you know what? -i'm sure he is, but just give him some time, okay? he's gonna forgive you. you're his best friend. (dramatic music) mike: -after much consideration, i have decided to retire as josh's best friend. mike, how can you just walk away? you're the greatest ever, and you're still in your prime. had a great career, you know, set a lot of best friend records... most consecutive hangs, also grossest bare-ass fart to josh's face. -it's one i believe may never be broken. uh, but there's more to life than being josh's best friend. yeah, i want to spend time with my family, explore some business opportunities, and also pursue my other lifelong dream. what dream? to play professional baseball. -(all gasping and murmuring) i am thrilled to announce that i have just signed a minor league, non-guaranteed contract with the chattanooga mud dogs. with any luck, i will accomplish just as much in baseball as i did being josh's best friend. thank you. all: -michael! thank you, mikey. josh: what? i didn't know mike played baseball. -i mean, he played softball at middle school, and he was terrible. okay, um... uh, lucy, i know we still have, like, wedding stuff to do, but... josh, josh, this is important, okay? (bright acoustic guitar music) -go to chattanooga. (whispers) yeah. (both sigh) i love you! okay, hustle up, y'all! -let's practice. practice makes perfect, right? ah, love me some drills, right, baby? (pastoral music) doing a no-hitter today, right? -come on, come on. hit me! come on. come on. aah! -(groans) mike! mike! can you sign this? sure, kid, what do you got? -a baseball poster? nah, it's from your old days as josh's best friend. that was a good year. sorry, kid, i don't do that anymore. now, if you'll excuse me, i need to do batting. -all right, guerrero, don't hold back! (grunts) - (clapping) yeah, nice... nice swing. what do you want? just want to apologize, man. -nothing to be sorry for, man. it's better this way. we're both doing exactly what we were born to do. you're marrying lucy, and i'm playing baseball. man: -oh! uh, i've probably done enough batting. mike, i-i totally believe you have exactly what it takes to be a professional baseball player. obviously. but i need you on my team. -dude, you don't, okay? you're a full grown-up now. it's like i don't even know how to be your friend anymore. hey, you remember... remember freshman year when you and i would each pound, like, 12 beers a night? -yeah, that was great. it-it was. uh, and then i was like, "i don't think i can do this anymore. i'm literally gonna die from alcohol poisoning." -it was the end of an era, but it wasn't the end of us. why? because you came up with the idea of smoking pot every day. that's right. -god, it was hard at first. scary. but we stuck with it, and we eventually leveled out. and-and if we can go through a huge change like that, what can't we deal with? you came all the way to chattanooga to tell me that? -yup. wait. aren't you worried about missing the wedding? no wedding without my best man. well, coach, it's been a crazy ride. -it's no secret we didn't always see eye to eye, but even though i'm leaving the clubhouse today and i won't be there for the doubleheader against the water bears and the sky grizzlies, i want you to know i will always consider chattanooga my home, and i will always, always bleed mud dog blue. so i guess what i'm trying to say is... you're out. (indistinct chatter) -both: hey! (both laughing) ah, they're gonna miss me. yeah, for sure. i know i do. -yeah, hey, i miss you too, buddy. man: oh! the same spot! yeah. -(bright acoustic guitar music) pound it. (laughs) wow, cool, there's a poster of us? yeah, man. you want one? -i'd love one. hey, you know, i'm making a movie with bugs bunny... uh, okay, excellent. so tom will be there, -liz will be there, and then, uh, the best man, my best man, will be on that spot right there. uh, w-what if i don't hit my spot? does it have to be exact or... nah. just kinda know your general area. -right, right, right, got you. uh, and then the music begins, you'll walk down the aisle at a slightly slower-than-normal pace. okay, like this? eh, no. no, no. -slow-slower than normal... um, deliberate. ah, shit, bro, what if i blow it? mike, you're gonna do great. -(sighs) here, take my arm... okay. we'll do it together. (gentle acoustic guitar music) -both: hm. hey, i've been meaning to ask you, when did nikhil get shot? oh, i never told you that story? no! -okay. so last month in caracas... maxine: previously on daytime divas... oh, maxine, look, it was your vagina. -it's my show. you can't fire me. i've gone viral. leave andrew. there's stuff that i need to work out. -maxine robinson's fallen into a coma. she could be like this for a while. who's getting her left chair? i'm getting a restraining order. is that how you treat your mother? -i just need to let go. i just got off of probation. is brad getting rough with you? we're fine. i love you. -you're a pa with benefits. remember that sexual harassment seminar? i learned some stuff. what do you want? maxine claimed to never have had cosmetic surgery. -blepharoplasty? that's an eyebrow lift. your vitals have returned to normal. my body wasn't even cold yet and they're trying to steal my show. we should issue a press release that my condition remains still in a coma, fighting for my life. -(whooshing) in all my years reporting the news, i have interviewed presidents, princes, and pop stars. but there are other voices that i wanted to be heard. so, a decade ago i created a show, where women could sit down and say what's on their minds. -and, boy, do they ever. we have a real slice of american pie, who puts faith and family first; a pulitzer prize-winning journalist with a passion for justice; a child star who is all grown up. her pov is omg; and a real livewire who will crack you up while she's tearing you down; -and me, maxine robinson. i'm in the left chair every day at noon, on the lunch hour, where no topic is taboo. woman: two minutes, standby. female narrator: -and so maxine robinson rose from her humble beginnings in jamaica, queens, to become an award-winning journalist. we're making it sound as if she's dead. is she? -was there an update? shh! okay, good. good, good, all good. she's still in a coma. -narrator: besides her success as a broadcaster, businesswoman and humanitarian, she's also a great philanthropist. (scoffs) really? she still hasn't paid me for the wrapping paper from savannah's school fundraiser. guys, they're trying to listen to this. -you're being disrespectful. thank you. excuse me. narrator: maxine was a trailblazing working mother, having rescued her nephew, shawn, from an unstable home, and he became not only her legally adopted son but a treasured member of our family here at the lunch hour. -i bet you he has a treasured member. inappropriate. narrator: though her marriage to ted winsor, a successful entrepreneur and the love of her life, ended in a heartbreaking tragedy... and she never had sex again. -i can't imagine losing a husband. i would be so lost if anything ever happened to brad. narrator: like maxine often said, nobody can ever replace the love of your life. we'd all be better off if she'd dust the cobwebs up out of... -narrator: from all of us here at nab and our family at the lunch hour, we salute maxine robinson. man: back to live in three, two... (audience applause) that was so inspiring. -if you can somehow hear me, maxine, we want you back. we all want her back, kibby. keep on praying just as we've all... well, as i've been doing, which leads me to my own personal tribute. when i was sitting with her in the hospital, something came to me, a song that celebrates the power that we have to heal. it's called for god's sake. -what a crock. it came to her in the hospital. she's been trying to get me to let her sing that song for the past two months. if my eye twitched, it was because my senses were being assaulted. cut to commercial. -now? maxine: now! cut to commercial, now. female announcer: -kaboom cuts through nasty ring around the tub and can quickly tackle... okay, mom, you've had your fun, but we can't keep doing this. it's making me look bad and the network's starting to think we're all incompetent. they assume you're making mistakes out of grief because i'm not there. they love it. -they may love it, but i've got jason abel up my ass every five minutes. abel's a network president. up an ass is where he's most comfortable. he wants to bring in replacement cohost for you. -after three days? never happen. my empty chair is getting huge ratings. which reminds me to get mo's fat ass out of it, now. short of a leash, i can't get -her to stay in her own chair. there's a petco on columbus. abel says they're looking at tyra banks. puh-lease. shawn: -meredith vieira. maxine: she'd be good. really? no! -caitlyn jenner. we can't have a woman with male privilege. shawn: ann coulter. no, has to be a woman. -(phone dings) oh damn. they're looking at michelle obama. hello? mom? -(street din) where is leon? he's never where he's supposed to be. he's harder to find on the floor than you. i've got a bit more on my plate than leon. -(background din) leon forgot to take my phone and brad called in the middle of the show. you don't know how to turn your own phone off? and brad hasn't realized what time the lunch hour's on yet? please don't attack my brad. -he's the perfect husband and father. the problem is leon. he dropped my cards and put them back in the wrong order. isn't it your job to check them? why are we making excuses for him? -do you actually like him? (mock laugh) no, okay? he's a lazy entitled idiot, but he tries. well, he screws everything up. except the lattes! -oh! finally. these are like crack. well, don't all look at me like that. it's a figure of speech. -mine would taste that good to if i took 45 minutes to make them. just saying. so bitter. 30 seconds, ladies. mm! -leon! do i have anything in my teeth? come on, hurry, hurry, hurry. what am i, your busboy? (audience applause) -man: going live. (talking over each other) oh my goodness. sorry about all of that. -and welcome back. as you can see, we're still a little bit lost without our fearless leader. i'm not. which is why i want to share my tribute. -you're going to do it again? (footsteps) here we go. thank you. (slow country music) -for god's sake, what are you all moping around for? nobody died! (audience cheers and applause) (upbeat pop music) what the... (audience cheers and applause) -you're back. yes, i'm back. how? well, one minute i was out, the next, i was wide awake. well, come, sit down. -i would love to. but, mo, you look so at home in my chair. thank you, maxine, i feel at home. (laughter) well, it's good to be back. -(audience cheers and applause) mo, i want to thank you for filling in for me. you know how i appreciate initiative. that's all the time we have today. tune in tomorrow; we'll have so much more to talk about, including an in-depth discussion with the ever-popular and sometimes controversial dr. justin timmerman. -so, join us tomorrow and, always remember, lunch is on us. (audience applause) man: that's a wrap. maxine, i'm so glad you're okay. -i prayed for you every minute. your hair looks really good from being in a coma. i thought it'd be all flat in the back. thank you, i appreciate your concern and how hard you all worked in my absence. it's times like this when you learn who your friends really are. -indeed. absolutely. that's all. oh, okay. uh, well, please let us know if you need anything. -if i do, i'll let you know. thanks, maxine. uh, kibby, um, can we have a chat in my office? me? mm-hmm. -oh, sure. yeah. um, sorry. how are you, baby girl? i'm fine. -how are you? (sighs) anything you wanna tell me? you mean about me? i'm not worried about you. -you're the only one who's not a conniving vulture ready to eat her own mother for air time. thank you, that's, that's very nice. to be honest, i, i had a bit of a rough time. of course, you did. why would i expect anything different? -(sighs) it's so disappointing. i am so sorry. well, don't apologize. i should've known those women were going to try to push you around in my absence. -huh? oh, no, they were fine. i was talking about the... the something else. what is it, baby? it's, uh, it's, it's nothing. -kibby, you know, i'm very proud of you. and i'm so impressed on how far you've come. if you ever need to talk, you know you can always come to me. i do know that. i do. -thank you, maxine. is there anything else? no, that's it. just do me a favour and stay there for another five minutes. and when you leave here, don't breathe a word of this to the other women. -you know they're outside the door *** ***like hookers on dollar day. kibby, what did she say? nothing. just asked me how i was. -come on, kibby, we're a team here. oh, really? we're a team now? just tell us what she said. did she trash us? -did she fire any of us? she can't be right in the head after her accident. you know what, mo? maybe she is making changes. but it was a closed-door meeting, so... -heather: oh, come on. you know what, kibby, you think you're on the inside track with this woman, but one little slip and you're a walking time bomb. then you're right back on our side of the closed door. thanks for the advice. -(light pop music) shawn. really? this is the only place that i could get you alone. well, until now it was the only place i could get some peace. -you've been avoiding me since the hospital. you made it pretty clear you had some things to figure out. so, when you figure them out, let me know. in the meantime... do you mind? -(sigh) do you still love andrew? i love you, shawn. look, we've had a lot of things thrown at us and it has been confusing. and now with andrew running, -i just... you're a politician's wife. you had to know he'd run eventually. yeah, and now that he is, i can't just leave him hanging. i... -i owe him. got it. so you want me to postpone things while you do the dutiful wife on the campaign trail thing. what if he gets elected? then it's even harder. -don't you realize there is never going to be a good time? i just need to find a way out of this, and to do it in a way with the least amount of hurt for all of us. so can you please just be patient with me a little longer? i love you. so yeah, i'll be patient. -but we need a plan. (smooch) - (footsteps) (traffic din) you're overreacting. you didn't do anything wrong. -no, i just lied to maxine about how great i'm doing, when in reality i was drunk and high while she was clinging to life in the hospital. you were stressed. the apology tweet just writes itself. look, it was my fault too. you weren't the one maxine offered a second chance to. -the woman just came out of a coma. you think she'd wants to be bothered with your crap? give it a little time, babe. you'll know when it's right to tell her. okay. -love you so much, nick. me, too. (click) - (footsteps) (latch clicks) does this colour make my lips look bigger? -tandy, what are you doing here? why aren't you in school? mom said to take the day off. tandy, you know that's not cool. tell mom. -well, mom's an idiot, so i'm not sure how much good that will do. you have to take responsibility for yourself. whatever. mom needs cash. they turned off the power. -so, she sent you here to ask me? plus, we needed to recharge our phone. wow. i hate her. sent you here because she's too much of a screw-up to... -is that going to cover it? yeah. sorry, kib. it wasn't my idea. no, don't you be sorry. -it's just she's... it's me who's sorry. i wish i could do something. yeah, me too. (footsteps) -(latch clicks) - (sigh) jason. these are beautiful. thank you. we are so happy to have you back. -well, i'm happy to be back. what can i do for you? i just wanted to celebrate your return. and? you have a very suspicious mind. -jason, you're the network president. flowers are never just flowers. what's up? your ratings. people went nuts tuning in to check your condition and see how the other ladies were coping. -and today? holy shit, i can't wait to see the ratings boost you just gave us. the network's ecstatic. so, we want to make sure we keep up that momentum. well, obviously, i can't recover from a life-threatening medical emergency every day. -but, i'll tell you what, if we start to slip, maybe i'll amputate something. (both laugh) in all seriousness, this is a real opportunity here. it's given the show a second wind. i didn't realize we needed a second wind. -well, it's a very competitive marketplace, maxine. we can't afford to sit on our laurels. we should talk strategy. we should talk another time. i need to get some rest. -it's been a very eventful day. and don't worry, i will be resting on my couch and not on my laurels. i'll be in touch. (sigh) my man. -hey! hi. ah, so, it's good to have our girl back, right? mm. she, uh, seem okay to you? -look okay? all good, mo. oh, come on now, jason. this is me you're talking to. is there a problem? -(click) okay, i'm just going to flat out say it. i'm a little concerned about maxine and her ability to lead the show. why? -she seems fine. so, people who are fine go into comas during routine surgery? she needs a rest. she's been carrying the burden of this show for 12 years and she's had the pressure of keeping it from going stale. you guys almost lost her. -don't you think that's something you should be looking at? of course, we're looking into it. then ease up on her. let the rest of us help share the burden. -you know, bring a little energy into it. and i'm not saying that i need the extra work' but, you know, i'm really good at shaking shit up. so that's what this is about. no, no, no. -what this is about is taking care of maxine. she's not going to let you know that she needs help. she's not going to show you her weak side. but what you need to do is open up your damn eyes' and see that she's in trouble. (slow hip hop music) -over my dead body will i let jason abel babysit me on set. you keep that interfering little gnat out of my life! no, this is not something i can calm down about. not when some obsequious, -armani-ed little testicle is pushing the limit. glad to see your mother's back to her old self. he's just here to evaluate things for a few days. and you have to be reasonable. they own this show. -they just wanna protect their asset. asset? they didn't even want to buy the show. they said abc had the view and, i quote, "how many more yapping women do we need on tv?" -and you proved them wrong. and now they just want to keep the gravy train running. well, maybe it's a sign i should retire, actually have a life. this show is your life. -so, play nice, mom. ah, good morning, jason. good morning, maxine. just checking in with our ladies. lovely to have you, jason. -if you need anything, feel free to ask them. justin timmerman, oh, my goodness. have you guys seen him yet? he is so cute. yeah, in that sort of hot tv doctor who may or may not know what he's talking about kind of way. -if you're going to have someone lecturing you about what you're doing wrong with your body, it may as well be someone fine. son of a bitch. leon! (footsteps) what? -i'm making lattes. oh, never mind. my mistake. man: quiet, please. -his controversial medical techniques, which experts claim are more harmful than helpful, are making headlines. please welcome the hunky healer, dr. justin timmerman. (audience cheers and applause) welcome, welcome. -thank you. and i prefer md over hunky healer. (audience laughter) does md stand for muscular doctor? (laughter) -now, dr. timmerman, you popularized cryotherapy claiming that cold therapy is more effective than prescription drugs. not just claims, maxine. if you look at the clinical research... well, um, you are being investigated, uh, by congress because three of your patients... uh, i'm sorry, i don't usually need these but the noggin's a little tired after the last few days. -no apologies necessary. it's common to experience diminished activity in the cerebral cortex during what we refer to as wakefulness. well, the investigation was initiated by patients whose brain injuries were worsened because your influences were dance, pop, funk, and soul. uh, i sometimes play that music in the operating room. -sure. (chuckles) uh, uh, but these, uh, these patients allege that you were involved with britney spears. britney spears, really? um, unfortunately no. uh, i am sorry, i must have the-the wrong cards. -guess that cerebral thingamajig is still adjusting. i'm... i'm... perfectly understandable. and, hey, i think britney is pretty hot. -(laughter) so, you're gay? (murmurs) uh, i don't like to discuss my sexuality. i'm here to talk about my many advances in, uh, cryotherapy. -uh, we will be right back. (audience applause) woman: and we're out. yeah. -it was good. mo, my office. now. (slam) what the hell was that? -oh, leon must have grabbed the wrong cards. justin timberlake is not on till next week... yeah, i'm aware of the schedule. look, there's a lot of scrutiny on maxine right now. so unfair. -something like this can't happen again. fire leon. there's just one problem with that. if he gets fired, then the world finds out exactly what maxine was up to in that doctor's office. i don't get it. -he is the most incompetent pa we've ever had and you are not the type to suffer fools. he's got potential, and not everyone has a mother that can just give them a job. (traffic din) hey, so, good show. i assume you're referring to the part where i didn't make an ass out of myself. -i'm sorry about the leon thing. i'll figure something out. please. leon's an idiot. what's there to figure out? -the point is i know he's an idiot. i should've checked my cards, then had a clue that our brain-surgeon guest hadn't dated britney spears. okay, so listen and please just keep an open mind. abel wants to cut you to three shows a week. cycle guest hosts on the off days. -what? he's just concerned about your health. after the boost we just gave this show? is nothing ever enough for these people? i won't do it. -i'll go over his head. look, maybe you really could use the rest. are you taking his side? no. but he thinks you were in a coma the last five days and you were -just off your game right now. i was off my game because i let myself be distracted by him. point is, i was off my game and the network's not used to seeing me like that. come on, tomorrow's friday. let's just get through that. -do the best show we can do and see if he backs off. if not, you got some extra free time to yourself. to do what? go shopping? go shopping. -find a man. ugh, i'll find a man when you find a woman. (coughing) (woman whimpering) nina? -knock, knock. oh, hey. (sniffles) sorry. no, don't, don't be sorry. it's your dressing room. -well, i don't normally puke in trash cans. oh, shh. hey, hey. it's okay. i mean, god, i've been there so many times myself. -you have? during the third and fourth seasons of spacey, it was happening like every day. oh, no, kib, i'm not bulimic. oh. oh, i'm not saying that you are. -i'm just saying that's what you're into... my life is an open book. i shouldn't have assumed. um, i'm sure normal people puke for totally normal reasons. (chuckles) -like what, are you pregnant or... (crying) oh, my god. that's so great! no? -no, that's so horrible. okay. i'm sorry, i'm really bad at this. you're so lacey from outer spacey sometimes. (sniffles) uh, listen. -i don't want anyone to know about this yet. i haven't even told andrew. so, can you please not... yeah, i won't. i promise. -nina: thanks. (sniffles) (latch clicks) - (grunting) (tv din) hey, guys! -mommy! hey! oh, sorry i'm late. had a fitting. whipped through, like, 20 dresses that, -i have to admit, all looked amazing. i have pics. you want to see? i want to see. okay. -(tv din) what? are you mad? it was just dresses, brad. no, heather, if he wants to look at dresses, let him look. -the neckline on the coral one is sick. thanks, honey. i like that one too. did you eat? you're joking, right? -we had dinner plans an hour ago. we did? (sighs) oh, god, to celebrate your endorsement deal. i, i'm so sorry. i don't know how... -how? you know, maybe with your show and your music, your book, your fittings, and general obsession with yourself, it's just hard to remember that something might be important to your husband like this stupid little dinner. i resent that. (dramatic instrumental music) excuse me? -averline, take the kids to watch cartoons. averline: come on. (dog barking in the distance) people at work are starting to notice the bruises and -i'm not about to start wearing sister white gowns. so, be careful. wow, fancy. what's the occasion? i want to talk to you and this is in my neighborhood. -well, we could've just met at your place. yeah, if i wanted you to know where i live. nice to see you too, daughter. you seriously kept tandy home from school so you could send her to ask me for more money? -well, when i asked you, you threatened me with a restraining order. anyway, tandy is smarter than both of us combined. a day or two off of school, it's not going to kill her. you know, you once told me you wish you had been a better mother to me. i mean, granted you were drunk... -is that why i'm here? to be insulted? to be told what a bad mother i am? to be lectured? i'm not lecturing you. -do you think it's easy? being a single mother, raising kids, paying bills? i have paid your bills since i was 12 years old and somehow that's still not enough to keep the lights on? i think dinner was a mistake. i need you to do a better job with tandy. -don't tell me what you need me to do. i mean it, mom, or i'll find a way to get custody. (laugh) kibby, you can't even take care of yourself. what are you going to do? -have your probation officer help you come after me? there isn't a court in this world that would award custody of a minor to someone like you. (splash) (footsteps) -congressman. constituents. oh, you're already used to the title and you barely started the campaign. (chuckles) -positive thinking. that's how i get what i want. it's not the only way. oh, back at you. i was thinking a pregnant wife would be an asset to your campaign. -i found a sperm donor. a what? already? now? i thought you were okay with this. -i am. i was. i thought i'd have a little more time to warm up to the idea, nina. well, it's just i found someone really amazing and i'm excited and... i thought we had a deal. -one of many. yes, my dear. that's why we're really good for each other. (scoff) okay. -okay. fine. tell me about mr. wonderful. i did a lot of research at the clinics and i found someone who i think is absolutely perfect: ivy educated, tall, handsome, athletic. -nice to his mother? will you at least be open if there's something that i want to pursue further? (sigh) fine. if this is what you really want and you think this is the right time... -i'm in. kibby: she's such a bitch! yeah, newsflash. why do you let her get to you? -i get what you're saying about tandy, but she'll turn out okay, you did. i'm an ex-substance abuser parolee screaming into a phone on the street. you're on probation, not parole. -big diff. (footsteps) - (door clanks) have a good workout with your friend. trisha cancelled. so, what are you going to do? -wait, where are you? (gasp) kibby. (footsteps) (gasp) oh, i love the coral. in fact, i was told by a very discerning critic that it was sick on me. -is that a cross tattoo? you're not going goth on me. (footsteps) (slam) okay, ladies, liquid orgasms before the weekend. -here you go, kibs. come on, girl, you could use the sugar. you look like shit. (bleep) you, mo. mm, love you too, bitch. -fraud! fraud! (sighs) fraud. i just thought you guys might all want to know why his lattes are so good. those extra 45 minutes he's using to make them, he's probably just jerking off in the stairwell. -fat chance of that. is that whole milk? it's half and half. why not just inject butter into their veins? why is everyone so annoying? -(gasp) son of a bitch! it's hot! move, bitch! hot! -it's hot! hot! hot! damn it! aren't you a little long in the tooth for a foam party? -shut the hell up. this is my favourite top. mine too. i like how it narrows your shoulders and widens your hips. okay, boss lady, you want to play with me? -let's play. because i've got a good game i've been meaning to show you. i'm a little busy running a show. alright, no worries. i'll just wait for a more opportune time to show you. -(grunts) - (footsteps) (rattling) i have a few notes for monday's roundtable. you got a minute? (bottle clunks) - (footsteps) -hey. hey, hey. what's going on with the plan? oh, come on, shawn, it's been, like, two days. yeah, and the patience you want me to have is wearing thin, not to mention the hiding. -one minute, we're pretending to be colleagues, the next minute we're making out in my office. i don't have an on-off switch. well, it's not easy for me either, okay? it's complicated. you, you keep saying that, but you don't love the man and you're not happy with him. -what's so complicated? i'm pregnant, shawn. what? i thought you said he couldn't... he can't. -man: two minutes to places, everyone. in two minutes! alright, i need your phones, ladies. gum in ramona's bucket. -uh-uh, i'm going to need mine another minute. oh, have a good show, maxine. don't let anything throw you today. watch it, mo, your shelf life on the show is way past its expiration date. it's not me you should be worried about. -i have insurance. throat surgery, my ass. how did you get my medical records? that's illegal. oh, you want to call the police? -mo, you better be very careful. no, you should be very careful. what will all of your viewers think if this leaked out all over the internet and they found out that you have been lying to them this whole time about your naturally youthful appearance? when the truth comes out about all this little nipping and tucking you've been doing, you're going to lose a lot of credibility. don't threaten me, mo. -this is not a threat. and we have a whole show to get to today, and i do have a very big mouth. female announcer: live from our studios in new york: maxine, kibby, nina, heather, and mo, -serving you the lunch hour. welcome, welcome. back to the lunch hour for another day. fresh out of a coma, and she looks amazing. maybe we should all take a little coma nap. -(audience laughter) well, there are other ways to look refreshed, right, maxine? you know what, i don't really want to talk about my illness anymore. oh, finally, something we all can agree on. -we are tired of talking about your illness. (laughs) well, what would you like to talk about, mo? well, maxine, you do not want to go there. oh, but i do. i want to clear the air about one thing. -just one? (laughs) mo, i'm speaking now so, how about you shut up and let me talk? (audience gasps) matter of fact, i'll make a deal with you. -if you go into a coma, i will devote an entire show to you. (audience weak laughter) this is not easy for me. i, uh, i lied to all of you about something. um, and i'm embarrassed to tell the world that i didn't tell the truth about what really happened to me the day i went into a coma. -i was, uh, tempted and sorry to say succumbed to the pressures of aging in a youth-oriented world. and... being over 35 is tough for any woman. i was not in a medical facility for a throat surgery that day. i was in a medical facility for cosmetic surgery. (audience gasps) -holy shit. a brow lift to be exact and, um... i was going to lie and, and deny it and cover it all up. i'm grateful that it never happened. thank god, my body rejected the anesthesia and sent me into a coma. -thank god, i was spared unnecessary surgery. and, now, now i can continue to age the way i always have, naturally and gracefully, because what matters most is if we're really happy with ourselves. i am embarrassed at my temptation, but there is no more perfect example of why i created the lunch hour, so that we could have honest communication. (audience applause) -and that's why i will be here for you every day, five days a week, so that women have the platform and the voice... to be free. (audience cheers and applause) so, think we've got her under control now? (audience applause) i'm going to say yeah... -for now.

(laughs) you know what? you millennials are a piece of work. memo to leon, despite what your mommy and daddy told you growing up, nobody gives a damn about your ideas. the sex tape was a pretty good idea. -it has been a hell of a day. and that bitch checking the receipts just wrote on me with her highlighter. don't push me. check it. mo to mo. -you drive a car all around new york doing, like, hidden camera, man-on-the-street style interviews. you are such an idiot. how can i be man on the streets if i'm in a car?

(silence) (traffic din) (upbeat dance music) -(dramatic instrumental music) does maxine robinson live here? we don't give out information on our residents. i understand. would you mind giving these to her? -are you a friend of maxine's? wow. what a beautiful building. how long have you worked here? i'm going on my 12th year. -could i ask you a couple questions? people in this building are very private. hmm. i think you should be on your way. just a few questions, maybe two or three simple questions. -(rustling) female announcer: next time on daytime divas... miss kelly osbourne. sometimes it's nice to change things up. -how about a new co-host? don't go rogue on air again. fans love it when i go rogue. who's anna krauss? she used to be my assistant. -she's back in town, writing a book about you. i'm running for office, nina. i'm doing everything i can to make sure i'm bulletproof. does he even know you're pregnant? it could get ugly if i don't do this the right way. -kibby: i guess i'm triggered because i don't like secrets. it was a long time ago, maxine. no one will find out what happened that night. i have some information. -i-i'm not sure who to talk to, but... it was cyrus beene. he killed frankie vargas. i've gone from being his bitch to yours. put the tie on. -your republican presidential nominee, senator mellie grant! and the vice president, jake ballard! mellie! it was like a religious revival in there. -grant and ballard, whipping people into a frenzy. not since christ stood among the lepers has there been such excitement. look at you. vice president jacob hamilton ballard. that is very hot. -i can't lie. yeah. this is amazing. isn't this amazing? i feel like jackie o or something. -i mean, not that i'm jackie, but... god, this is amazing. don't you think? yep. okay, i don't know if you're playing it cool, but now is not the time to play it cool. -this is history. you are making history. this is the beginning of greatness. jake! what? -talk to me. okay. should i be more excited about four months on the road, staying in janky hotels in janky cities, or four months of being on olivia's leash, shilling lies to the american people? all so i can spend eight more years as a figurehead, a... liv puppet, taking more orders from liv. -but you love liv. she's your sister. you don't know her like i know her! i'm sorry. i wish you would talk to me, tell me what this is all about with you two. -well, i don't know why we're even talking about olivia, why you're even thinking about her on a night like this. you don't understand. liv... runs this. liv has the power. no. -look at me. look at me. olivia was not on that stage tonight. olivia is not on that tv right now. olivia is not on the ballot in all 50 states. -america is not electing olivia pope. they are electing mellie grant and jake ballard. this is not a life sentence. think... this is an opportunity. -if she wanted to keep you as a puppet, she's made a mistake. once you get elected, you will be the vice president of the united states of america. and olivia pope will be, what? a footnote in your biography. a minor player in our history book. -she's handing you the keys to this beautiful country, and she doesn't even see it. you will be on the front line. you will be the player. no one's gonna run you. jake, 14 vice presidents have gone on to be president. -once you have the oval, you have the power. and once you have the power... they all bow down. "he tweeted," jake ballard to the rescue. looks like i'll be votingformellie after all." don't stop, lovers. -keep tweeting us your thoughts. let us know which v.p. hopeful you'd prefer... nsa boy-toy jacob ballard or former grant toadie cyrus beene. ballard has the big shiny security creds, but let's not rule out beene. he is, after all... a murderer, dragged to prison just days ago for orchestrating the demise of president-elect francisco vargas. -beene's arrest creates a power vacuum into which mellie grant appears all too eager to step. will our nation's electors cast their vote for her when they meet in december? or will embittered democrats seek to block her path? join me tonight when i ask jake and vanessa ballard these questions and more on "the liberty report." how was that? -i think we do another. maybe this time... perfect... or excellent. either one would have been the correct answer. okay, so, you remember the talking points i sent over? -for every question sally asks, no matter what, you pivot. make it about... about me and vanessa and her. democrat dynasty pedigree. that makes her sound like some breed of dog. -vanessa's last name is synonymous with the democratic party going back generations. if she's telling america to unite and support the republican ticket... and her husband... that will send a signal to the democrats to get on board. plus, you're glamorous, attractive, in love... the perfect couple. that's political money. -that's a political lie. people like to see you two together. it makes them happy. we're this close. if you say so. -is huck here with vanessa yet? i need to prep her. not yet. look, liv, what are we doing? about? -cyrus. if someone paid tom to lie... and it looks like they did... quinn, we already discussed this. that money in tom larsen's account could have come from anywhere, for any number of reasons. -i'm just saying, if someone is framing cyrus... cyrus is in jail for murder, and he's not our client. our client is mellie. and right now, mellie needs jake and vanessa to do this interview. -so call huck, find out where vanessa is, and don't ever bring this up with me again. well, tell me again. jake and vanessa are going to knock this out of the park. it's sally. i've talked to sally. -maybe i should be there. no, you need to be there... head down, working, all business, presidential. this is politics. liv. you're above politics now, okay? -okay. tell me again. jake and vanessa are going to knock this out of the park. liv! -hold on. what? huck found vanessa. the flu? it's bad, sally. -vanessa can't even get herself out of bed. poor thing. so sudden. you know how it is with these kinds of things. i do not... -i receive my flu shot every september. we're good to postpone, then? just a couple of days. olivia, i truly hope this is not another one of your stunts, that your cancelation really is due to sickness and not because something much more insidious is going down in the ballard household. because if there is, i will uncover it. -sally, trust me, besides a nasty 24-hour bug, there is nothing else going on in the ballard household. secret service got here before any cops could. they blocked off both ends of the road. i haven't seen any press, but that's just a matter of time. -is she okay? is she okay? you tell me. car ran like crap anyway! ma'am! -ma'am. you need to sit down. olivia! you're here. don't say it. -i would have been able to keep my hands on the wheel, but i was a little preoccupied. isn't that right, kenny? it's kevin. lady, you are nuts. maybe. -but i ain't sorry. i ain't sorry, olivia. where is she? down here. how the hell did the secret service lose her? -she ditched them by leaving the bar through a back door. unbelievable. jake, she's just been in an accident. she hasn't had a chance to comprehend what she did. she's still drunk. -what the hell were you thinking? ooh, look who it is. got here as soon as you felt like it? you got to be kidding me. you have got to be kidding me. -sir, i'm very sorry, but we had... get out of here, all of you. big man, calling all the shots now. i really need you to sit still. who was this guy she was with? -kevin wiseman, 23, bartender at the book hill lounge. makes a mean mojito. licks a mea... vanessa, you might want to stop talking now. all right, i'll find the guy, make sure he doesn't... -way ahead of you, chief. already took care of him. paid him off. he's no longer a problem. what about the cameras down at the bar? -just about... done. wiped clean. nobody's ever gonna know vanessa and her pal left the place together. jake, her car has been incinerated. -the police don't know a thing. everything's under control. listen to her, baby. you always do anyway. why stop now? -let me ask you something, vanessa. here we go. jake... did you wake up this morning knowing you were gonna try to ruin our lives? like you give a damn what i wake up thinking about. -okay. you have no idea, do you? what you did today... it's not like i killed anyone! you're disgusting. -i'm disgusting? ! i said okay. nasty and spiteful and exhausting, but most of all, disgusting. screw you! -okay! that's enough! you, sit here! be still and shut up! you, in the other room right now. -i don't think so. i have a day job. i have actual, meaningful work to do. she is your problem now. admiral ballard, given your roots, -i expected a little more from you. i don't know why we do that. see you. okay, tell me, boss. what did i do to screw up the campaign today, and what do i need to do to be better tomorrow? -you didn't. i didn't say you screwed up anything. you were actually really good today with the meet-and-greets, very likable. i was impressed. well, you say, "dance, monkey," -the monkey dances. so, what's up for tomorrow, boss? jake, can we... can you just stop? stop what? -this smiling pod-person thing you've been doing. i don't know what you're talking about. i'm just doing my job, boss. stop calling me "boss." yes, ma'am. -okay, let's get this over with, because i am late for getting away from you. what do you want from me? what do i want from you? i want you to stop acting like me turning you into a world leader makes me a villain. olivia, i'm fine. -i'm on board. i'm not acting like you're a villain. i'm just not paying attention to you. you don't matter to me anymore. it's you. -you feel like a villain. you joined the family business, went team pope, became daddy's little girl all the way, and now it seems cold and dark in all your gooey places. too bad for you. you want to win your precious white house? that's the price... boss. -i have to win, jake. and we're done here. no, i don't want to win. i have to win. there has to be a reason. -there has to be a point. there has to be some higher purpose. this is my shot, jake, to run a clean election, to do this right, to make a president honestly. this is my chance at redemption for defiance. so i have to win. -there has to be a reason, or else why did i do this to you? why did i do this to myself? i have to win. okay? okay. -so, olivia's back on your good side? you're family again? can we do this later? no, it's just, you hated her, but now you are on the phone with her every day. and when we're on the trail, you two are like peas in a pod with your inside jokes. -so i just wanted to know what changed. for god's... nothing's changed, vanessa. she's in charge of the damn campaign. you said, "get along until after the election." -i'm getting along. this is not getting along. this... are you sleeping with her? what? -are you serious? are you taking yourself seriously right now? listen to how you sound. okay. but you can understand why i would think... -no! no, i can't! you don't talk to me, but you talk to her. you tell her... everything. it's like she knows you. -she knows everything about you. we're family. yeah, exactly. but i'm your wife, jake. i am your family now. -we are a team. i want to know you. i want to know everything about you. nessa, baby, that's sweet, and i really appreciate it, but i have a ton of policy briefs to get through tonight, so... what were you good at in school? -did you like growing up in ohio? it's late. what kind of a name is ballard, anyway? how did you meet eli? what was the navy like? -boring. will you just stop... did you ever have to shoot down any enemy planes? you ever have to kill anyone? could you at least tell me that? -i don't want to talk to you! look, just... here. i-i just don't understand how you can tell everything to olivia but nothing to me. i mean, what is it exactly with you and this sister that you never had? -go to bed. i want to know. i want to know what it is between the two of you, because if you are sleeping with her after calling me crazy... we're not doing this! we're not doing this! -the woman is a famous mistress! so we are doing this. i'm not... i'm not gonna move until you talk to me. fine. -you stay. i'll go. i'll see you tomorrow. i thought you could use this. i don't drink coffee. -just leave it. that accident could've been a lot worse. you could've killed someone or yourself. if that tree hadn't been there, who knows where you would've ended up. what can i say? -i'm a lucky girl. do you... if you need the help, there are places we can send you, nice places. places no one else will ever have to know about. i bet you would like that, wouldn't you? -me going away. then you and jake could finally stop sneaking around. if i was gone. how convenient. vanessa, i don't know what you think -is going on with your husband... come on. i want to hear it. the great big speech you must've given hundreds, thousands of times to all the other wives and girlfriends of the men you've snatched away. come on. -i want to hear how you justify all the vile, vulgar things that you do. you don't know what you're talking about. i bet it's good. worth its weight in gold. but i'm not sure how tight it can actually still be, what with all the miles you must've put on that thing by now. -i'm gonna keep telling myself that you're still drunk. and i'm gonna keep telling myself that my husband's whore is not seriously in my face right now! aah! keep talking. keep talking! -give me one more reason to lay you out! right here, vanessa! because i am not about to let some miserable, petty mess who can't seem to handle her liquor... you are not going to come for me. i am not here for it! -not today! liv? everything okay? i don't know. is it? -i want him back. i'm sorry. this is not me. this is not who i am. i just want my husband back. -we were good. jake and i, it was good. we were working. we had plans. he was becoming his own man. -and then, he just quit... on me, on us... because of you, olivia. everything was always because of you. vanessa. you're not the only one. you know? -he's seeing someone else, the scumbag. he's cheating on the both of us. jake is not cheating on you, vanessa, with anyone. please. i was on the trail with him, day and night. -he has secret service watching his every move. i know he is not cheating on you. and i know that some slut was texting him on election night... consolation for his big loss. he's been staying out all hours of the night with her ever since. i wanted to think it was you, but the two of you were in the same room that night. -i was watching you. you weren't texting him. no, he ran off to meet someone else. vargas had just been shot. maybe he had to run off to work. -this wasn't work. and jake got that text before vargas was shot anyway. jake left right after we lost. this is it! turn up the tv... -loud! wow. um... amazing. well, that's it, folks. after one of the greatest setbacks in political history, -frankie vargas, the comeback king, has done the unthinkable and become the 45th president of the united states of america. well, looks like family let you down tonight. little sister couldn't deliver. now we're back to square one. where are you going? -jake. liquor cabinet's back that way. okay. obviously, there has been voter tampering in san benito. right after we lost. -you were drinking. you can't... i remember because it was when the redhead took my champagne away. vanessa, where's jake? your husband, jake. -where is he? he left. he left? he can't leave. we haven't even conceded yet. -where'd he go? no idea. after we lost, before vargas was shot. and jake was long gone, i remember. he can't leave. -where'd he go? no idea. what are you doing here? hello, son. i've been paying attention to you, without me. -watching you have your freedom. well... "freedom." in the hands of my daughter, you're not really free, tethered to that lovely leash she likes to hold. still, that leash might have been worth it had tonight ended differently, had you become vice president jake ballard, had you ascended to the right hand of power. but she failed. -you failed. you failed. you should've killed me when you had the chance, because whatever this is, whatever you're trying to do here, i will come after you. no, you won't, son. -you won't. why did you come here tonight? i came here for you. the world is about to turn upside down. when it's righted again, you will be vice president, provided you play your part. -what is that? it's time for you to take what's yours, son. it's time to come home. is she okay? should be, for now. -the interview? rescheduled. jake, i wish you had told me that you and vanessa were having problems. would that have made a difference? absolutely. -if there's ever something going on, something that could end up biting us in the ass, it's better for me to know about it ahead of time. okay. is there? what? something else going on? -anything you've been up to recently i should know about? nothing i can think of. what about with you? anything you've been up to that i need to know about? since we're sharing secrets and all. -i'm not the one running for vice president, jake. of course not. that would be beneath you. you have a good evening, liv. you, too. -what are you working on? i thought you went to bed. can't sleep. vanessa... shh. -all you do is work. little break won't hurt. you need to get some sleep. i will see you... tomorrow, okay? are you ever gonna stop punishing me? -i messed up the other day, okay? i'm sorry. and, yes, you're right about the drinking. i need to stop, but i don't have a problem, jake. it's just... -well, we went through that horrible election, my dad died, and you were leaving all the time. i was alone... this again? i can't. the needling... -are you really gonna blame all of our problems on me? i am, actually. because you're the only one who cares. when did you start hating me? did i do something to make you treat me like this, like i'm some piece of trash in the middle of the road? -am i really that horrible, or is it just that she is that much better? yeah, that's got to be it, right? tell me what she does that i don't do. tell me, and i'll do it. i want to do it. -vanessa... i drove the car into the tree. it wasn't an accident. i did it on purpose. i just wanted to feel something. -stop. calm down. what do i need to do? you don't need to do anything. you don't... -hey, come here. come here. come here. this is not your fault. tell me. -tell me... what you need. come on. i need you. you have me. no. -i need to know you. you know me. i don't know you at all. you want answers to your questions, about... growing up, eli, the navy. yeah. -i want answers. i deserve answers, don't i? start talking, mister. jake? jake... -i can't tell you the answers to those questions. what? why not? i can't tell you answers to those questions. there are things about my past, things i've done, things... that would scare you, things that would prevent you from ever looking at me the same way again. -i have done... things, vanessa. if you have to drink yourself to sleep at night because you don't think you know me, i can't imagine what you'd do to yourself if you really did. what are you saying? i don't talk about my past because i can't. -and if you can be okay with that, if you can find a way to be okay with that, then you and i... we can be unstoppable. we can be a team. we... can do this. everything you told me is a lie. no... -i don't know you... at all. and i'll never kn... what is this? i can't... i can't do this! -we know jake left the hotel suite right after bnc called the election at 11:00 p.m. your husband, jake. where is he? he left. white house logs have him in the situation room at 1:30. -nice of the national security director to show up on a matter of national security. i was being briefed by my guys. he logged in to the nsa at 2:00 a.m. his next confirmed location is the white house again. he went back there for a security briefing at 10:00 a.m. -how does the director of the national security agency disappear for almost nine hours in the middle of one of the biggest national-security crises in history? i ran qr-25 on all available traffic, metro, and atm cams in d.c. no hits. maybe he was at the nsa. i mean, we didn't go home that night. -looks like the white house briefing was an emergency meeting. his office tried calling him several times to let him know, and they didn't know where he was, either. great, let's just use cell towers to triangulate his location or whatever. good luck. first rule of acting shady, robin... -you turn your cellphone off. sure, that makes sense if you're not the head of the nsa and if the president-elect hasn't just been shot. jake didn't have that luxury. huck? way ahead of you. -his personal cellphone did register with a tower that morning in springfield, virginia. no way there are enough towers out there to create an accurate triangulation. no, but... gotcha! here he is at 9:17 a.m. on the springfield interchange, heading back toward d.c. -where is he coming from? i think i know. marriage is a crazy idea. i don't know why anyone does it. marriage is bad for you. -let's not do that. 60% of married adults have had an affair. 60%! quinn. now, there have been studies suggesting a healthy marriage can boost your immune system, fend off disease... that's a good thing. -like, the same could be said of eating blueberries, and unlike men... liv... what do we know? we can take a minute if you want to, catch our... what do we know? -the big picture, the pieces. we know frankie was shot and killed on election night. frankie vargas has been shot. the president-elect has been shot. we know tom confessed to shooting frankie for cyrus. -we know tom didn't shoot frankie and that someone paid tom to falsely confess and blame cyrus. we know cyrus is innocent. we know that jake was in the cabin the morning that jennifer was killed. did i just go out of turn there? was that huck's turn? -vanessa says jake's been out every night since election night. if we can figure out where he was going, maybe we can start to try to put the pieces together. the day jenny was killed, i picked up the signal of a satellite phone near her cabin. she's around here somewhere. -she actually bought a satellite phone, and she's using it. we're close enough that i'm picking up a signal. could've been jenny's. could've been jake's. track it. -from now on, jake doesn't take a step without me knowing about it. where are we? traced that satellite phone. it's jake's, for sure. how do you know? -over the past week, the signal can be traced to his house, to the nsa, and to this motel off route 5, room 215. he's been there 11 times since the night of the election. probably running his operation out of there. during jake's interview with sally, get into that motel room, see what's there. so the interview's a go? -vanessa's on board? no. not yet. but she will be. i thought you two should talk. -i appreciate you coming over. as i already told olivia, i'm out. no interview, no nothing. i want this to be over. you want what to be over? -the campaign. i can't do it anymore, not with him. he's draining me. this is draining me. you have done this your entire life. -you are a washington woman... smiling when it's the last thing you want to do, standing beside a man that you know you were smarter than, propping him up. i know... i've been in your shoes. jake is not my father. he's not some junior congressman -i dated because i was supposed to. jake is my husband. he's the man that i want to spend the rest of my life with. so, you want jake? i want to be happy. -be happy. okay. right. you can't just be happy. it's not something you can bottle and drink. -no. be practical. do you want a divorce? will that make you happy? we just got married. -you want to be first lady? maybe. do you want to live on a sugar plantation in hawaii? i'm not sure, but i don't want to... honey, you are asleep at the damn wheel. -you are suffering through a marriage with a man that you do not know and cannot stand with no idea what you want on the back end. wake up! you have a job to do, and happiness does not exist until that job gets done. you want to know what that is? your job? -it's america. you are married to a man who is serving his country. in this house, you may want to take a golf club to his head while he sleeps, but out there, jake ballard is a public servant, sacrificing himself so regular folks can think they're safe, pretend they're happy. you may not like those cards, but they are the ones you're holding. so play them. -and while you are making your sacrifice for this great nation... being the wife he needs... you figure out what it is you want. and do it quickly, vanessa. then wake up every day knowing that at least you're sacrificing for something you want. are you happy? -i'm about to be the president of the united states. did you hear what i just said? i'm not married to anyone. i no longer prop up people who are inferior to me. i smile when i want to smile. -i am free. so my advice to you is to suck it up. suck it up and run the world. if i didn't believe that mellie grant and my husband embodied the values of my father, of the moss name, then i would be sitting this election out. but this man, no matter the letter that precedes his name, is loyal, committed, honest, and determined to do what is best for america. -hey, liv, wants pictures of everything... maps, schematics, weapons. whatever jake has got in there, liv wants it recorded. i had a secret lair once. sounds cool in theory, but can be pretty lonely. though i did have a fantastic lamp in it. -come on, charlie, the interview's already started. this situation is unprecedented. the country did vote for francisco vargas, but they will come to understand that mellie grant is as committed as governor vargas was. i'm not sure the grand old party line will serve as an elixir to those feverish at the idea of electing a democrat in november only to see a republican enter the oval in january. well, you know my family well, sally... liberal as the day is long, democrats... -massachusetts democrats. tell me you found something. there's nothing in here. it's completely empty. what? -the room was cleaned out. it's like he knew we were coming. i'll call you back. no luck at the motel? what are you hiding? -i should be asking you that. that move, trying to track me? it was so silly, amateurish. it reeked of desperation. i couldn't figure out why, and then i found it. -found what? so much for making a president honestly. 5-7-2-6-7-4-4-1-8-7. that number sound familiar to you? it should. -it's a trust in switzerland you set up in my name, and for some reason, there's a wire transfer from it that makes it look like i paid tom larsen to frame cyrus. i trusted you. let you convince me that cyrus beene killed frankie. all so what? so you could frame me for setting him up? -what's the angle, dad? stop talking. is making mellie president the end game or a step towards something bigger? olivia... -i'd say you were trying to help me, but putting the money in my name... stop talking! mellie's going to be president. it's what you wanted, and now you have it. so stop asking questions you do not want the answers to. -dad... it's time for you to leave. now! what? do you have any idea how rarely i get to go out? -why is there a payment to tom larsen linked to my daughter's account? that? it's just a little insurance policy. wouldn't want your daughter's conscience getting the best of her. she was close to cyrus beene at one time and has some self-destructive tendencies when it comes to notions of justice and whatnot, so... -this is just a way to keep her in check. do not trifle with me. if you think for one moment i'm gonna stand by and allow you to threaten her... olivia pope has served her purpose. she delivered mellie grant. -as far as we see it, she's expendable. some might argue she's a liability and should be dealt with in kind. regardless, every breath she takes from here on out is a gift from on high. you would do well to remember that. to show some gratitude for that. -if not, i would take it as my duty to report that olivia pope could be a problem going forward, that her father could be a problem going forward. that's not what i... good! because i would miss our meetings. every breath, eli. -every breath. jake. sorry. did i scare you? no. -i was gonna call you, actually. that money, you were right to think that, but i didn't pay tom... shh! come on. where are we going? -where are we going? i didn't pay tom larsen. it was my... wait. wait for what? -your phone, give it to me. come on. jake! where are we going? what is wrong with you? -! i didn't pay tom to kill frankie vargas. my father did and made it look like it came from me, and i don't know why he did it. all i know is cyrus will get the death penalty while i take the oval, and i don't want that. that's no... -that's not who i am. but if i try to help cyrus, i go down. i get framed for setting him up. where are we? i have a confession. -what? come with me. tell me here. first rule of self-defense... never get in the car. -you lost control of this situation in the garage... soon as you got in. now you have no choice, no phone, and no recourse. what else do you need to confess? other than killing jennifer fields. frankie vargas? -did you kill him, too? you've only got part of the picture. enlighten me. you're involved. you blew up the cabin. -you killed jennifer fields. tell me what you know. jennifer had to die, so i killed her. why? because your father asked me to. -so... you're back with him? you're under his control again? is that who you were meeting at the motel? come on. he ordered you to kill jennifer and destroy evidence that could've pointed to cyrus' innocence, -and you... jennifer had to die. why? tell me. what am i missing? -i tried with vanessa, i did. tried to love her, be a good person, my own person. she was good to me. she offered me another path. but i couldn't deny who i am, what i'm trained to do... to obey, to accept every mission, to kill... that's me. -it's who i am. she taught me that. so, on election night, he gave me the mission to kill jennifer. it was the first time i felt like myself again, like i knew who i was, so i went there... to the cabin. jake. -please, this isn't... what are we doing here? no. there's no way in hell... jake, please... let me go. -confession first. i obeyed your father's order to the letter. jennifer had to die. that was the mission. she had to... disappear. -she no longer exists. on paper, at least. you asked who i was meeting with at the motel. i'll tell you. jennifer fields, olivia pope. -olivia pope, jennifer fields. hi. previously on "scandal"... mr. mcclintock has confessed to the crime of shooting frankie vargas. i didn't kill frankie. -i just wanted to see you suffer. i'm innocent! i brought something for you. is that... that's your daughter. -that's olivia. she's beautiful. family doesn't complete you. it destroys you. did you shoot frankie vargas? -! no! i am not a predator. i cannot be a predator. i am very smart prey, trying to help my species survive. -but not for mellie grant. according to the latest polls, the virginia senator's first pitch earned her a 14-point bump... with older male voters. that's what we're told, isn't it? that these great, big megalosauruses... the godzillas of the world, the monsters we read books about, see films about... -they are the fiercest, they are the strongest, right? right? right. wrong. it's the predators who are actually the most vulnerable. -they're the most sensitive to change. take away their food, make any kind of reduction, no matter how infinitesimal, well, that's it. they're wiped out forever. it happened to the trilobites, to the tetrapods, and then to the therapsids and the archosaurs and the dinosaurs, and guess what. more likely than not, it could happen to us, too. -sandra. you look well, eli. as do you. so, what did you think? i can only assume that your omission of francevillian biota as proof of multicellular life -2.1 billion years ago was intentional. oh. you haven't changed one bit. you are still the same cocky know-it-all who, after all these years, can figure out just what to say to get on my last nerve. are we back in graduate school again? -we are a long way from graduate school. eli. yes? it's so good to see you. how long are you in town? -well, to be honest, this lecture wasn't my only reason for reaching out to you. is that right? that's right. this is my new workspace. everything's still being set up. -specimen storage will eventually go over there. ct scanners arrive tomorrow. it's a process, as you know, but... it's beautiful. sandra, i... -oh, tell me this isn't... it is. gondwanan. laurasian. tetrapodomorpha? -devonian. incredible. honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet! thermal imaging captured this lying just under the surface in a quarry 30 miles to the north of the yangtze river last month. -it's isolated, obviously. that's what i thought, too. and then... we found it, eli. a yangchuanosaurus. -the yangchuanosaurus... the largest, oldest on record. this is... i know. 40 years later. -i mean, could you have ever imagined? our dissertations would have read a little differently, don't you think? i mean, how did you... who knows about this? i've been working with a team, assembled them myself. -there's a private collector paying the bill, eli. paying for all of this. i could use a partner. but it would have to be somebody who really knew his stuff... mm-hmm. -somebody who i could trust... mm-hmm. someone who, despite getting on my last nerve... yes. you're in? -i'm in. i am in, baby! here. now, look at this. what's wrong? -nothing. she's sleeping with someone. mellie grant is a single woman. it's marcus walker. and if word gets out that mellie is sleeping with a black man... -you lose your base. this is the part where you're supposed to give me some advice, some grand opinion on the matter. i'm not interested in play-acting this morning. olivia, i am late for work. you're here, pretending you don't already know what you have to do. -you know. it's clear. you just don't want to. she loves him. well, that doesn't matter. -it never matters. you know that. that oval is yours. it belongs to you. but you have to get her there. -now, she wants it. she wants it almost as badly as you do, but there is a difference. she is weak. she is undisciplined. she is soft. -she has never been hungry for anything. she has never learned the hard way that love is a privilege reserved for the victor. but you know. you understand. i raised a warrior. -everyone and everything that you love is a weakness. eyes on the prize, baby. don't you ever get lonely? careful! make sure you're only removing the rock matrix and not disturbing the specimen. -here. use a needle if you're not sure. that's it. thanks. there he is. -who? the nerd i remember. ooh! careful with that. it's an exact replica of one barnum brown excavated at hell creek. -i saved this spot for it. eventually, everything from the stations in montana will go here. i'll clean that ceratopsian from... well, i better get back to sanitizing picks and pin vices. here are the latest heat scans from the sichuan dig site, sir. -thank you, um... sarah. anything you need, you just give me a holler, m'kay? sandra's clean. i ran her through every database imaginable... -gsx, nsid, interpol. nothing suspicious... no arrests, no known criminal affiliations. unless you're really, really into dinosaurs, her life seems pretty uneventful. well, that doesn't mean she's clean. -it might just mean she's good. there are cameras all over that place. someone is watching. what about the collector? well, that is a different story. -what does that mean? it means the name you gave me doesn't exist. when did you last check on olivia? last week. i did my usual sweep. -why? dad, what are you doing here? i need a record. a record. marvin gaye. -i hate to bother you, but i have called every record store in town. they don't have it, and i know you do because i did. look, i really need to get through these analytics reports for our demo outreach strategies. olivia, please. this new job of mine, i am surrounded by children. -they don't know who marvin gaye is. they don't know what real music is. i mean, have you ever heard of a rapper named "young thug"? you put the records away? yeah, they're in my closet. -hold on. olivia, a collection like that? it should be displayed proudly. i mean, to keep it hidden in the back of some closet, it's a sin. i don't play them. -i'm busy making a president. you know we keep losing ground? they don't like her. who? people... -they don't like mellie. i've got my stats team telling me california may come down to san benito county. california... she's from there. -why don't they like her? ah. can't help you there, obviously. this is it? that is it. -um... how long has that car been out there? that one? hmm. since the convention, i think. they're secret service, dad. -they're there for my protection. and huck... still conducting regular sweeps for listening devices here and at the office? every wednesday. tell him to modify his schedule. -he shouldn't be so predictable. did you need anything else? isaac hayes? curtis mayfield? no, this will do for now. -when that second verse hits, it's gonna change their entitled, little lives. what is this? a drink. a drink? well, not just any drink. -it's not... it is. that was 40 years ago. still good. mm. -what i remember most about that trip was... you jumping off the front of the bus at la flecha... and running straight to the dig site. we must have been going 15 miles an hour. well, it was a titanosaurus. it hadn't moved in 97 million years. that's not what i remember most about that trip. -no? no. no, i remember our last night in buenos aires. you played me this song. i did. -you poured me this drink. i did. it didn't work. i don't have a lot of regret in my life. i regret that. -it was 40 years ago. that's not a lot of time in the scope of things. still good. we don't have anything in there. do you want me to... -it's okay. the closer they are, the better it is for us. so this is like grad school. i haven't made out in a closet in decades. i'm gonna give you one chance not to lie. -who are they? eli... who are they? i don't know. tell me now! -i don't know! who are they? i don't know. are you working with them? no. -are you working with them? ! no! where did you meet them? please put the gun down... -where did you meet them? they came to my office. they brought me here. how many are there? i don't know. -what do they want? i don't know. what do they want? ! i don't know! -they want you. they want you. that's all i know. they brought me here. they told me to get you. -you lured me here. they said they would kill me. you could have warned me at the lecture. they were at the lecture. they're everywhere. -they're everywhere. don't you understand, eli? they're everywhere. where are you going? don't move. -go get the others. you want to talk to me? ! i'm right here. this is a true honor. -you will regret every second of this. only weak men harbor regrets. i'm giving you an opportunity to explain yourself... to help me understand why you thought you could lure me into a cage and get away with it. it won't spare you my wrath. -it won't prevent me from ravaging everything that you hold dear. but i may exhibit an ounce of mercy when i take your life. tough talk from someone who sat quietly in a chair waiting for daddy to come home from work. or i could kill you now. with the gun in your holster? -all three of us? who would you kill first? who exactly is in charge here? him? now i'm in charge. -that's the attention i was looking for. you can be impressed. i'm impressed by you. i respect you. and because i respect you, let me put your mind at ease. -sandra is an unwilling participant in all of this... a tool. you want something. mellie grant in the white house. fixing an election isn't cheap. -name your price. it's also not easy. you wouldn't be here if you didn't have my complete confidence. you're wondering whether you actually have a choice. that is something i have never wondered. -but you do understand what's at stake should you opt out? olivia will be fine. but sandra won't be. she walks. sandra. -we do this, we get the result that you want, sandra walks free. you and i? we never cross paths again, namely for your sake. i had hoped that we could become friends, but... -sure. i can live with that. this was fruitful. get it done, eli. you're upset. -of course i'm upset. also confused and terrified. don't be. what is going on? what the hell is all of this really about? -is this the cia? is that what this has to do with your old life? s-sandra... who was that man? where did he come from? -his name is theodore peus... not him. the man i saw in the closet, the one who... that wasn't you. that had to have been someone else, someone else i want to forget entirely. -i'm sorry i mistrusted you. sandra, all of this... all of this is over now. i told you, it's been taken care of. what does that mean? -it means i'm protecting you. it means you're safe now, and you will always remain safe as long as i am watching, protecting, because i got you. hmm? okay? i got you. -you better have, eli. the question is, will the juggernaut of grant's political machine be enough to fend off vargas' impressive grassroots support? one thing's for sure... neither candidate is going to be getting much sleep heading into the final week of the presidential campaign. vargas plans to continue his bus tour of the southwest while grant wraps up her campaign with a series of rallies in key swing states. -the race for presidency has officially become a game of inches as both campaigns devised strategies and counterstrategies in order to find and win every available vote. your slothful pace is truly repugnant. i'm sorry, sir. give it to me. name's jennifer fields. -overeager aide on the vargas campaign who spent a lot of late nights with her boss before she got her ass beat by one of cyrus beene's goons. i mean, look at that... it's just nasty, right? could be what we need. i asked for something foolproof. -well, yeah, if something like this were to get out... it would be a minor setback for vargas at most. it would not guarantee a win for mellie grant. what i need, adam, is a win. what i'm keeping you around for, against my better judgment at this particular moment in time, is so that you can deliver me a win. -can you do that? what about voting machines? do we have enough time? if we pick and choose our counties. start with san benito. -hmm. olivia. did you think i wouldn't find out? find what out? the voting machines, the ones you rigged. -huck said it's some old b613 protocol... an algorithm, some obscure program. i don't exactly know the details. all i know is that you did it so that mellie would win. is that not what you want? i know how it feels to walk into an oval office i stole. -i want to know the feeling of walking into an oval office i earned! and you still can. this is on me, not you. you ran an honest, brilliant campaign. you are still clean. -listen to me. go home. go to bed. fall asleep knowing that you are going to be victorious. forget this conversation ever happened, olivia. -i undid it, dad. what did you do? the backdoor you used to rig those machines? huck guaranteed me that it's been closed. even he couldn't get back in if he wanted to. -i will go home. i will go to bed. and i will fall asleep knowing that over 100 million families will get to decide who their next president is going to be. this is their choice, not mine, not yours! olivia, this... -mellie is going to lose. you are going to lose. don't you have any faith in me at all? olivia. zanzibar? -a hundred miles off the coast. a little island, more beautiful than anything you could ever imagine. i am not going to zanzibar. what are you talking about? what are you talking about, eli? -i cannot just pick up and leave my life here. i have a job, family, friends. i have a dog. if you don't pick up and leave, you aren't going to have a life. these people... -i know these people. then you know that you have to trust me. i am not going anywhere. you are going to zanzibar. i am not going to zanzibar. -aaah! aah! i worked for the united states government. i know. no, you don't know. -i ran an organization, that you do not want to know. but i'll tell you this. we had a rule... my rule... no family, no attachments, no love. i mean, you loved your country, you loved your mission, you loved your fellow officers. -everything else was a liability. that's what i was? yes. a liability? yes. -you knew that when you left buenos aires? i knew that the day i met you. you got married. mm. to the wrong woman. -if... i was going to break the rule, i should have broken it with you. you hurt me, eli. i know. -you don't know. you don't know how you hurt me. when i came back, you were gone. i thought we were gonna spend our lives together. i loved you. -i loved you, too. i still do, which is why you are going to zanzibar. you trying to protect me? yes. then protect me here. -adam. sir. tell me we were able to re-rig those machines. i tried, sir. i couldn't do it. -sir, the election is tuesday. maybe if i had more time, i could... i could whip something together. it's just, with that level of decryption... quiet. -what are you doing here? my grandmother has the same couch. you have five seconds. i hate this couch. sandra. -poor thing. she was so scared when i showed up, but guns have that effect on regular folks, i guess. you messed up, coolio. geez. america used to be such a great country built on honor, where your word meant something. -you promised to deliver this election, and you failed. you lied about rigging the machines in san benito, and somehow, you thought there wouldn't be any consequences? where is she? one thing at a time. it's not looking good for mellie. -it is your job to make it look good for mellie. make right on your promise. we're on the eve of the election. that ship has sailed. so, i should just call my man standing over sandra right now and tell him to drop the hammer? -i watched you two together. you care about her. it's sickening, really. i could kill you right here, right now. no, coolio. -you are going to kill francisco vargas when he takes the stage tomorrow night. that's... foolish. he won't have been sworn in. i mean, cyrus beene would become president. come on. -you're smarter than that. you want me to frame cyrus for the assassination. ding! impossible! not for the greatest of all time, right? -figure it out. for the record, i am the one who is going to give you nightmares. so, what's the plan? that big, huh? whoa. -you're not kidding. i haven't seen you like this since... the plan? you want to know the plan? the plan is for you to shut up and do exactly what i say! -okay. understood. a hit. cool. here's your new identity. -bio, i.d.s. nelson mcclintock. that's my cover? set up on the fifth floor of the parking garage, northwest side of fairmount park. philly, huh? -vargas? set up. await my instructions. just the one target? set up. -await my instructions. what's my exit plan? await my instructions. yes, sir. wait. -the girl on vargas' campaign... jennifer. jennifer fields. i need to know everything about her. with projections for texas and virginia now clear, this entire election has come down to one state... -california. it's winner-take-all for those 55 electoral college votes with only one county left to report, a county that will determine... where are we on sen benito county? we'll know soon. that county? -san benito county. san benito is often considered a bellwether county for california, which hasn't been in play in an election since... hold on. we're getting an update. this is it! -turn up the tv! loud! bnc is now ready to call san benito county and the state of california, and... this is a surprise. bnc is projecting that... frankie vargas will carry san benito county and become the next president of the united states. -where are you going? jake? liquor cabinet's back that way. you need to call governor vargas and concede. it's over. -the race is not over. we lost. they won. it's over. make the damn call. -south tunnel clear. aah! you know what gets me? cyrus. vice president beeeeene. -it's like having a vampire a heartbeat away from the oval. hello, philadelphia! when we started this improbable campaign, we were told this couldn't be done... that i couldn't do it, that you wouldn't do it. well, america, here we are! -we were told that people who came from where we came from couldn't get here, didn't belong here, because we were just... people... mothers and fathers, working men and women, immigrants, laborers, farmers, teachers, janitors, poultry workers. people without wealth, connections, or advantage. people without a leg up. people to whom the vast fortunes of this great nation never trickle down. -we were told this job wasn't for one of us. well, america, here we are! iya llegamos! thank you for thinking differently. thank you for thinking about tomorrow, not yesterday, about progress, not decline, about equality, not bigotry, about love, not hate, about hope, not fear. -thank you for thinking that we really can be a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. ihoy si somos una nación de la gente, por la gente, y para toda la gente! shots fired! parking structure! fifth floor! -0-1. who's got eyes on parking structure? starts on parking level 5! keep route secure! blue five, blue five! -stage right! stage right! move! hey! you! -hands up! let me see them! officer. secret service. yeah? -let's see about that. you're late. had to be careful. the place is crawling with cops. is the rifle in place? -parking structure, fifth floor. let's go. the mission is not over. is there a problem, soldier? no, sir. -sorry, son. thank you, sir. tell me you have the shooter. we got him. fbi found him hiding in a shed about a mile from the rally. -nelson mcclintock. prints on the sniper rifle look to be his. we're sure he's not part of a terrorist cell? dana? the cia has no intel on this guy. -appears to be homegrown. at this time, we can confirm that a suspect... one nelson mcclintock... has been apprehended and is being held in custody. his fingerprints match those found on the murder weapon, and as of now, he appears to have acted alone. -we... the mighty conqueror returns. how's philly? did you squeeze in a cheese steak while you were there? they are so yummy. -where's sandra? first, let's talk about how we're framing cyrus. is this mcclintock guy pointing fingers tonight? no, i have someone else for that. super. -let's get this party started. not until i have sandra. let her go. are you okay? i'm fine. -i love you. i love you, too. okay, we get it. you want to put a ring on it and take her ass to eat shellfish of some kind. can we do business, please? -jennifer, it's me. make the call. hi. my name is jennifer fields. it was cyrus beene. -he killed frankie vargas. there it is. it's done. we are done. let's go, sandra. -let's not go, sandra. excuse me? here's the problem with doing good work, eli. you make yourself valuable. and only a fool lets go of a valuable possession. -we both know i'm no fool. we had a deal. i think i'd like us to have more deals. if you think i'm gonna be working for you... but you are... because we found your weakness. -it's standing right next to you. all i have to do is put a gun to her head, and my wish becomes your command. these are incredible times, eli. important times. and if we're going to accomplish what we need to accomplish, we're going to need some muscle, a strong back who can get things done. -a strong back. so that's it? you're saying you own me? so, what, i'll work your fields and shine your shoes and pick your cotton and dance whenever you tell me to? you put a gun to the head of the woman i love, and i belong to you? -! you have a streak of weakness, eli. we found it. don't beat yourself up. we're just better than you. -you people. always thinking you're better than us. i have no weaknesses. no one owns me. our account is settled. -done. are we clear? i got to give it to you. i did not see that one coming. hey, send me the "butterfly" feed. -what are you doing? wherever your daughter goes, we have eyes on her. and when i say "eyes," i mean we have an actual human being who, when hearing from me, in seconds, can put a bullet in your daughter's brain. what do you think? do we have a clean shot? -cyrus in jail. mellie in the white house. make that happen. then the real work begins. oh, look. -your bones arrived. fun. isn't she something? look at her. an amazing predator. -beautiful and vicious, and... can you believe this is for a private collector? was it you? admit it, olivia. this is a gift. -now you can make a case. if frankie dies, mellie has a legitimate shot to the oval. but be careful. you have to play it just right. i asked you a question. -yes or no? if you push mellie too soon, you look callous. if you wait too long... did you shoot frankie vargas? ! -no. i don't believe you. did i think about killing him? yes. it was... -it was a genius move. but you made it very clear during the generals that you did not want my help. i didn't need it. san benito county begs to differ. you had it right in your hand, and you let it go. -you know better. you... you are better. you are faster, stronger, and smarter than him. how could you be so weak? -how could you let that man outplay you? this is what happened, olivia. he outplayed you in the generals, he outplayed you tonight when he paid an assassin to shoot frankie vargas. w-what did you just say? and there it is... -that streak of weakness, that crack anyone can slip through. see, that's why you lost because you believe i am a predator, which is... i am your father. i am not a predator. i cannot be a predator. -not in this world. i am very smart prey. trying to help my species survive. think. think like them. -who gains the most if frankie vargas dies? who has spent decade after decade helping fairer yet less competent men raise their hand on inauguration day? who would, quite literally, kill for this job? cyrus beene loves frankie. cyrus beene loves cyrus beene. -he's always been the most dangerous predator. i offered you san benito, and you turned me down. that cost you the election. tonight, you have a second chance at the oval. hmm? -hmm? survival of the fittest, olivia. survival of the fittest. auxilisun meets the high demands of your busy day with affordable, renewable energy. but it wasn't always the power choice for 99% of the world's governing economic bodies. -auxilisun was born from innovation required after the three-plant meltdown turned the world away from nuclear energy. oil barons and green extremists drove energy costs higher and higher, resulting in the energy crisis of 2018. the world descended into chaos until auxilisun introduced the tri-fission engine. an auxilisun containment facility was constructed over the three-plant disaster site, so the tri-fission engine could clean up the dangerous radiation. progress was slow. -but independent scientific studies prove that auxilisun's miraculous tri-fission engine not only worked, but it also created new energy from the radiation it was cleaning, and thus began the energy revolution of 2025. no more dirty biofuels, inconsistent wind or expensive solar. tri-fission engines clean up old waste while auxilisun continues to build its next-generation plants across the world. today nuclear energy, powers everything you do, and auxilisun is there to make sure it stays safe, sustainable, and, most importantly, affordable. auxilisun... -creating a new future by cleaning up the past. lights on. alarm off. cse dixon, it's the middle of the night. david, communications are down with both of the field techs... -it's christmas day. is this something that can wait until tomorrow? gibson desert north is the largest nuclear waste repository in the southern hemisphere. it doesn't take the day off. something's wrong. -we don't have anyone available. i'll go. what? you don't have anyone available. i'm going out there myself. -call the transpo. i'll be ready in ten. coming in on the red zone now. completely uninhabitable. you do not wanna lose your fuel out here. -so auxilisun's sending a tech assistant to a facility this remote. no chief engineers available? i am a chief tech engineer. how many facilities you engineered? none. -i was recently promoted. my work's been lab-based. live view up. now, that's what a real-life auxilisun containment facility looks like. you don't see that in a lab. -this your first flight schedule too? there's nothing in here about a pickup. we've lost communication to gibson desert north. once i get them back up, i'll contact auxilisun hq for a pickup and request that they don't send you. system activated. -decontaminate. begin decontamination. abby dixon reporting. i.d. heb0511. entry 001. -upon my entry into the facility, no employee response. the facility itself is in a state of disrepair, possibly deserted. i will log my entries and upload them as soon as i get the comms back online. hello! who are you? -i'm a technical facility engineer from auxilisun. mm-hmm. what are you doing here? your communications are down. i'm here to get you back online. -some id? can i see some id? i can't connect to openwork. openwork's not worth shit down here. do you have a scanner? -there's a scanner. there. on the table. yeah. mm-hmm. -happy? mm-hmm. my name's dixon. abby dixon. how'd you get here? -i was just dropped off by a company tri-copter. just you? yeah. just you. just me. -mm-hmm. i'll be here long enough to get you back online. which one are you? zek or robinson. robinson. -i'm robinson. yeah. you almost gave me a heart attack. making noises in the corridor. they don't teach you how to knock at auxilisun hq? -where's dr. zek? he's out. what do you mean "out"? where? does surveys. -in the desert. i don't know. it's not my job. well, when will he be back? he didn't say. -took the buggy. what is that? it's nothing. i got it under control. what do you mean it's nothing? -it's... it's obviously something. it's not. what are you talking about? right here it says, "error code 8627b." -what does that mean? what's the procedure? mm-hmm. the procedure is you need to chill out. okay, this is not a joke. -this is a sophisticated facility, and i'm here to assess the communication breakdown, and this could potentially be a communication... i pulled that lever. did you see me pull that lever? it resets the system. yeah. -it makes all these red lights go green. i told you i had it under control. hmm? will you at least show me to my room? mm. -i wasn't... expecting guests. i'm sure you'll love your accommodations. all right. general... -common area. um, kitchen, obviously. and up those stairs is the sunroom. doesn't look like it gets much use. no. -um, not really the tanning type. right. but that's not the point. the sunrooms were designed... to provide a certain amount of uv, to keep your mind in the right... -my mental health is fine, thank you. is this sick bay? yeah. your own doctor as well. it's kind of fun. -so... this... yeah, that's you. guest quarters. it's not much, but you know... maid comes at 10:00 a.m. for a fluff and fold. -merry christmas. robinson? robinson? robinson. oh. -hello. wow. i didn't realize this was gonna be a formal occasion. i would've shaved my face. what's that? -in case i need to reach you in the facility. aw, you don't need that. you're never too far away. so this is what you came here to see, huh? what's wrong with it? -ah, i very much enjoyed our conversation. i was feeling a little lonely before you turned up. you are just a breath of fresh air. i'm not here to talk. i'm here to fix your facility. -yes. what's that? universal comm unit. the nerve center for our whole communication array. how do you not know this? -the thing's a dinosaur. like everything else around here. gibson desert north is not a dinosaur. it's the prototype that our entire company is hinged on. and our proudest achievement. -oh. well, then that's just a little bit sad. so? sorry. can you fix it? -there's no power. i have batteries. i'm gonna have to run a diagnostics scan on the entire facility to see where the breakdown in the system is. diagnostics scan, huh? yeah. -yeesh. would you mind showing me to the machine room? sure. now. don't touch the guitar, please. -what facility do you work at? i don't work at any one particular facility. i'm based at hq. oh. so you don't know anything about sdp then. -sensory deprivation psychosis. i came up with that. what is it? well, you know, you spend too much on your own in a place like this. no windows... -you go a little... you go a little psycho, you know. i mean... that's why we give psychological profiles to all of our employees before they get the job. -yeah. well, it's not that simple. when did you say dr. zek is gonna be back? i didn't. well, you have to know something about his schedule. -no. i mean, you know, he works in a completely different part of the compound, behind a locked door. he's the one with the ph.d., remember. i stay out of his way, take out the trash. and he just goes out every now and again? -look, i'm not the boss. he is. i'm not his mum. that's not what i'm suggesting. i'm just... -we're almost here. it's through here to his lab? yeah, yeah. it's down the end of this corridor. get a chance to, uh, see dr. zek's crazy scientific experiments up close. -i've read his reports. there's nothing in dr. zek's work that is outside of company parameters. oh, yeah? why does he do it all behind a locked door? never lets me in. -you're obviously creating some kind of fantasy. is this the isolation psychosis you're talking about? no. well, maybe. take a look at his lab. -it'll bore you to death. just don't touch anything. oh. wow! that... is something. -is this where they keep all the shit? the shit? nuclear shit. no. the waste is kept in deep burial, behind those doors. -you think this place is impressive? deep burial is ten times the size. what's this then? the cooling system. maglev fan built to last 200,000 years. -but that's nothing compared to this. this is the real secret to auxilisun's success. the tri-fission engine. it takes the energy from the radioactive decay in deep burial and powers the fans. i should have access. -this fan breaks down, guess who has to fix it. that's impossible. if both fans stopped, then this place would fill up with gas so fast, it would be like a stick of nuclear dynamite. and never in the history of auxilisun has even one fan broken down. it's a brilliant design. -how come the only access through it is through this doggy door? robotics are the only thing that can fix a tri-fission engine. even in a hazmat suit, there's so much radiation, you'd be dead in 48 hours. you should know that. where's the other fan? -down in deep burial. we're in the part of the facility that needs "golden ticket" access to enter. just looking. okay. you need level-14 access to get down into deep burial sites. -oh. what are you, level 18 or something? when they zap us with the scanners, we just get the basic package. you know. office, bedroom. -shitters. did you fix the comms? no. all the fuses and the cabling are all intact, so the problem must be somewhere between here and there. hmm. -you're gonna show me deep burial? no. no one goes down into deep burial. dr. zek. he goes into deep burial. -you're mistaken. i hear him down there all the time. every time he opens that door, it rumbles the whole facility. you're wrong. you think i'm making this up? -no. i think you're confused. dr. zek doesn't even have fingertip access to deep burial. you sure about that? robinson? -jesus! robinson! robinson! what? wha... -what? are you okay? you're hitting me. i'm sorry. i just fell. -what happened? just a long day, you know? i need some sleep maybe. do you generally pass out when you're tired? well, i didn't really pass out. -i just had a moment of... what are you doing? i'm fine. when was the last time you requested a medical exam? i don't need a medical exam. -abby dixon. entry 002. i arrived this morning to find dr. darius zek, the chief scientific executive, absent, surveying the surrounding area. but that is unconfirmed. the facility's caretaker, robinson scott, was uncooperative. -the comms are still down, but my preliminary tests as to why were inconclusive. i've never seen an auxilisun facility like this. it's... neglected. and robinson scott... i don't know who hired him, but... -sor... sorry. oi. hmm. dodgy lock in there. -sorry about that. can you fix it? well, there's no point, is there, really. not gonna make the same mistake twice. i'm just not used to having guests. -you carry that thing everywhere, huh? i heard you talking on it last night. the walls are quite thin. well, i gather information, report back to auxilisun. it's my job. -it's protocol. is dr. zek back? no. is it normal for him to be gone overnight like that? sure. -macchiato. oh. no, not for me. that is the world's greatest macchiato. you got to try it. -it's hot. sugar? uh, no. i'm okay. leave her there. -make me one. i wanna do a medical diagnostic test on you. medical... last night... no, that thing last night was fine. -uh, no. you can have serious health problems. here. that's very sweet, but i am fine. now i'm fine. -when i was younger, i had a thing. my kidneys. gone now. i'm fine. was it from drinking? -it was cassies mainly. some drinking. i have a sister, margot. she was... she's... your age. -she sobered me up. took care of me. got me better. got me off it. everyone else left me behind. -she saw me right. i'm fine. i'm fine. it's gone. don't drink the water. -it's not good. it's excellent. you're crazy. do you not want yours? it's all yours. -two cups of coffee for me. watch out. cheers. i was cleaning out this old guy's place, right? this was something that we used to do when they got kicked out of their places. -and it was something that i could kind of do, when i was a little high and stuff, you know. easy kind of job to do. so cleaning out this guy's place, throwing away his clothes and furniture and things he's not gonna need. and then i see at one point he's got a bunch of cd's. so i'm thinking, "oh, that's cool." -bunch of what? he has a bunch of cd's. um, compound discs. uh, compact discs. you know, the little music. -little silver disc things. oh. yeah, yeah, yeah. like old turn-of-the-century music. and he's got some stuff that i kind of recognize. -like oasis. remember? shed seven. um... east 17. -so i'm thinking while i'm cleaning this house out, i'm gonna play some music. i'm looking through his music. "i'm gonna pick that. i'm gonna pick that." and this bag falls out. so i'm thinking, "oh, well, you know, he's kind of hiding that bag." -in this little zip bag. so what's inside here? i don't really know that much about turn-of-the-century music. do know a little bit about retro kind of drugs and stuff. so i look inside and there's this... this crystal, this rock, you know. -like, "hello! yes. know what that is. crack cocaine." so run around the house. -run around the house. like, make sure i'm kind of safe doing it. like, i need, like, a lighter and a little bit of aluminum foil and a little glass pipe type thing. get that all going. you know, i'll do it. -put it all in and break off a little bit of crack. put it in the pipe thing and then... kind of fire it up. wait. nothing. -now, you're talking about maybe, like, two, three minutes or so. you should be off. you should be, like, away, doing it. nothing. so i think, "well, maybe it's like weak crack or something." -so break off a little more, put it in the thing. get the lighter... kind of fire it up. nothing. i end up smoking the whole piece of crack. -that's a lot of crack. that is a lot of crack. nothing. like, 20, 25 minutes in, man, i get pounded by this, like, headache. just like my head gets filled with cement or something like that. -kind of feel a little sick. the next thing i know, i pass out on someone else's, like, floor. it's not even my house. i'm out, like this. and the next thing i know, the owner of the house, this old geezer, the guy whose house we're clearing out, like, wakes me up. -so i get roused and, you know, i look around. i'm trying to save face a little bit, but he sees... he totally sees what i'm doing. he can see all the stuff. you know what he says? -"my grandma brought that back in 1991, you just smoked a piece of the berlin wall." oh, man. is that... like smoking history or something. went to hospital... -i was in hospital for two days, on my own. and then, you know, ended up my sister came. kind of gave me a little bit of a talking to. "clean up your life. you need to make some changes" kind of thing. -it's actually what brought me here. she kind of... she and i agreed to come out here, you know. what about you? me? -yeah, you know, family. people you talk to, friends. no. no. no family. -no family? you an orphan, raised by auxilisun? no. i mean, uh, i have a dad. but... technically, i don't talk to him. -what is this? i was just trying to make a friend. okay, so... holidays roll around, you know, your birthday. what do you... do you go for lunch on your own? -play solitaire? just nap all day? i have friends. you do? yeah. -i'm skeptical. name them. name your friends. tesla and jobs. what type of names are those? -that's... come on. they're my dogs. they... they're your dogs' names? -come on. what do you have? like little "wee wee wee wee"... little yappy tiny little things that fits in a little... like a little bag of sugar? -this is not adding up. the becquerel levels are higher than they should be. i think your calibrations are off. hmm. well, maybe someone's been in deep burial. -hmm. what? no single person, no one, not even someone like dr. zek, could create a spike like this. i mean, it's got to be your gear. it's not calibrated. -i'll leave you to it. you'll work it out. dr. zek is still missing. i'm worried about his safety. and there's... a problem. -according to this data, the red zone is expanding, which i know is not possible. it must be just a misreading with the gear. robinson is not as skilled as i would expect. i will recalibrate the meters myself. what are you looking at? -jesus! oh. sorry. i was gonna go on the roof, hit some balls. i thought i saw a man in the desert. -okay. may i? sure. hmm. i don't see anything. -what if it's zek? what if... what if he's out there and he's hurt and he needs our help? i don't think zek's coming back. he's been gone four days. -no. you said he left yesterday. i didn't say that. what are you not telling me? he kind of lost it. -sensory deprivation psychosis. big time. i don't know if it was the isolation or the tests he was running. maybe he was exposed to radiation in deep burial. but, you know, he's went a little... -and then the last night before... you know, i'm gonna go hit some balls on the roof. no. no, listen. the power lines were intentionally severed. -he cut them? tell me what happened. you know, most of the time, just ignore him. i stay in the control room. he does what he wants. -fine. and then before he left, he just... screaming. just screaming down that corridor. it was getting louder and louder, at me. -"you did it. you did it. you broke... you damaged it. you broke the fan. -you broke the fan." he's pointing at me and accusing me and shouting. he's a scary guy. and i ran. i ran and i hid. -and i heard the doors go, up top. he took the buggy. i don't... i mean... i don't know how he'd survive out there. -i mean, i'm telling you, i saw something. yeah, well, you know, that... that could be... this place. it's the walls. ground. the air... -gets in you. hmm. how have you been sleeping? you've been dreaming? have you been dreaming? -hmm. hmm. you can spend as much time as you want in that sunroom. but it gets inside your mind. i'm gonna go play golf. -robinson? robinson. robinson, it... it's zek. can you hear... can you hear me? -open the door! i'm not sure i should override the system. we're both gonna die if you don't open this door right now! we don't know his state of radiation exposure. we don't have time to discuss this. -help me move him. go inside. i got him. i think this is a mistake, abby. go inside. -go! go! what the hell was that? i'm just following contamination policy. it's dr. zek. -you don't know it's dr. zek. you don't. who else could it be? we're in the red zone, 300 kilometers from the nearest town. well? -yeah, it's dr. zek. how is he? his pulse is even. is it? he was pretty exposed out there. -what's that? hexomorphone. it should help combat the symptoms of radiation poisoning. hmm. didn't get very far, did he? -i don't know. maybe he came back. what happened to you? what is that? precaution. -he's dangerous, isn't he? he's in a coma. well, you wake up from a coma. okay. you need some help? -why don't you just go back to the control room. it's good, you know. he's back. that's the important thing. wha... -you were screaming. i was concerned. it was just a nightmare. about your dad? you said his name. -it's this place. i'm fine. could've fooled me. my dad euthanized my grandmother when i was seven. fan's not working. -look, look! n-no, that's impossible. just reset the console. all of your readings have been off. i'm sure that's it. -whew. okay. that helped, but look. it's still... it's not movin'. -okay. i'm gonna check it out. you just... stay here. okay. what happened? -did you go back in there? huh? what? the fan. i can't. -i don't have access. remember? what are you accusing me of? i'm sorry. it... -it's not possible, unless somebody sabotaged the engine room. it just... it can't... it can't happen. i need to get the comms back up. get back in touch with hq. this is beyond me now. -okay, how serious is it? do we need to evacuate? no. as long as the other fan is up, it'll take days before the gases build up to a dangerous level. zek. -we are experiencing unprecedented shutdown of the machine and fan. requesting immediate emergency facility repair team. reason for the shutdown is unknown. a fan is down. how does that make sense? -with auxilisun systems, a fan cannot go down unless... someone sabotaged it. signing off. i don't like him being here. he's handcuffed. -you don't know him like i do. look, why don't you let me watch him for a while. no, i got it. you've got a job to do. it's under control. -you can't just stand here all night watching him. i got this. he wakes up... he moves... call me. wha... it's... -it's okay. what? it's okay. what is this... what is this place? -where am i? you're at auxilisun gibson desert north. gibson desert north? robinson. he's awake. -robinson. robinson? oh. okay. okay? -thank god. wha... what? why am i... i'm abby dixon. -i'm the facilities engineer from auxilisun. i was flown in. what happened to me? just relax, and, uh, we'll get you up to speed. uh... -dr. sale told me to say hello. dr. jeffrey sale? three years in his class, and then i was his intern. he got me my first job interview at auxilisun. he told me to tell you hi. -oh. we haven't talked since i came here. jeffrey and i got our master's together. i was in his wedding party. yeah. -he's got some very nice things to say about you. he made 'em up then. well, he says that you are the most brilliant nuclear containment scientist that he's ever had the pleasure to meet. here. hello. -thank you, robinson. you're welcome. how do you feel? what's this for? do you not remember what happened with the night that you left? -i can't recall. you went a little crazy. you had a nervous breakdown. so that is, unfortunately, the reason why you're in handcuffs. for our safety, but primarily for your safety. -thank you. you're welcome. i'm not feeling well. i'm gonna lie down. yeah, right. -relax. do you have a, um, personal hygiene kit? i just think... it'd make dr. zek feel a lot better to not have a week's worth of desert filth all over him. you want me to go get it? i'll be fine. -two minutes. dr. zek? is there something you're not telling me? come here. i have to know that i can trust you. -well, of course you can trust me. dr. jeffrey sale's son, tell me about him. he's in his... 20s. he just got married. i haven't actually met him in person, but... -tell me the truth about jeffrey sale's son, now. he's not dr. sale's real son. his wife was pregnant when he met her, but i'm not supposed to tell anyone that. nobody knows that. i know. -i know. except people worth trusting. okay. that man isn't robinson scott. what? -dr. zek, you acted like you knew him. well, i had to. i'm handcuffed here. the only reason he's not killing me is because you think that he's robinson scott. okay, look. -the other night, i was in my lab, alone. i was working. and then suddenly, there was a breach. and robinson... the real robinson scott, he went out to check it out, and he was obviously overpowered by this guy. -and then this man, he found me. i left robinson. so if this isn't... robinson scott, then how did this person get here? we're in the middle of the red zone. -i have no idea. he must have been dropped in. i'm not sure. i don't know. do you know anything about what he wants? -we need to get out of here. we don't have much time. so when's your next scheduled pickup? i told them that i'd contact them. shit. -are the comms still down? yes, but the antenna on your buggy. i can hot-wire it, use the universal comm hub to get a signal. good. then you send out a code 7 distress call, but you can't let him know that you sent it. -as long as he believes that you don't know the truth, we'll be okay. we will. and why wouldn't he just kill us? and he hasn't tried to kill you yet? he needs you for something. -i'm setting up my two-way tuned into my frequency. so while i'm gone, if he comes back, i'll hear everything that happens. good. thanks. -abby. yeah. we can do this. abby, he's here. he's coming. -okay. here we go. where? where? we have a problem. -robinson is not robinson. somebody broke into the facility. that's why dr. zek attempted to escape. we need help immediately. so lie back. -just lay your head back. there. must feel nice. get that desert grime off you. if you just put your hand down. -gotta keep you handcuffed for your own safety, dr. zek. i know. these razors are incredibly sharp. try and think that you're in one of those old movies... in a barbershop. where's abby? -she went to my office, to my lab, to get my tablet. just gonna... yeah, that looks like it's gonna work just fine. ah, yeah. okay. -i'm actually gonna have to just lean you back a little further. just can't quite reach those... oh, no. difficult areas. you-you don't have to do my neck. -relax. just relax. robinson? just finishing up here. much better. -done. you do look much better. here. you forgot my tablet. your lab was such a mess, i couldn't find it. -you'll have to give me better directions. oh. yeah, of course. dr. zek, you've had quite a day. i know. -think you could maybe use a little rest? hmm? no, no, no. i'll give you this to relax. i don't... -put him down, robinson. okay. just keep an eye on him. he was extremely nervous. well done for knocking him out like that. -i just thought we would both sleep a little easier knowing that he was drugged asleep. yeah. he doesn't seem to remember anything. you believe him? does he seem dangerous to you? -well... things aren't always what they seem. hmm? shh. what's happening? -i had to inject you to wake you up. where's the guy? he's sleeping. we gotta get out of here. look away. -did you send the signal? not yet. that's where we're headed. we have to get out of here. it's gonna take 40 minutes for them to get here. -we'll wait outside. okay. okay, let's go. too late. what are you doing, abby? -you're not robinson scott. what are you talking about? dr. zek... stay still! dr. zek told me... -abby. abby. the doctor, eh? you trust the good doctor? is that how it works? -you tell the truth. you tell her the truth right now! what's he talking about? the ravings of a madman. you tell her about gibson desert north. -about auxilisun's crown jewel, now! what? tell her. i have no idea what you're talking about. and you're willing to bet our lives on that, are you? -um, yeah. ow! aaah! aaah! let me see. -am i bleeding? looks like the laser cauterized the wound. come here. aaah! to the bed. -here. what did he say about me? don't touch it. he told me you were some kind of terrorist that broke in here and killed the real robinson. you believed him? -dr. zek is a respected member of the scientific community. what was i supposed to think? dr. zek is a lunatic. how am i gonna get across the red zone? how am i gonna get across the size of that desert? -i'd have radiation poisoning by the time i got here. he destroyed the door mechanism. we're locked in here. he's gonna escape without us. no, no, no, no, no, no, no. -he's not escaping. he's going to deep burial. bastard. just... hmm. -what did you mean? when you said that... that this whole place was a lie. it hurts. what did you mean? -this place is supposed to be a secure nuclear storage facility. he's turned it into a bomb. thanks. abby, i don't... i don't know what we do now. -how do we get to him? he's in deep burial. i have access. you do? yeah. -that's great. hang on. okay. i'm gonna rewire the door, so the mechanism works from this side. you can do that? -nice. watch out. we need to find him. i can trace his location on my tablet. no time for that! -no time! fuck. drop the club. okay, okay. who are you? -okay, okay. you're the one with radiation sickness. you walked across the red zone? shut up! who are you? -please. shut up. who are you? shut up! nothing can stop me from doing what i came here to do! -aaah! aaah! what are you doing? gibson desert north has been decaying at an unpredictable rate for years, and you knew it! you know that auxilisun system's fail-safe. -there's no way... what about barrow creek? all of the closest inhabitable cities are supposed to be well within the green zone. so unless barrow creek... the entire town... got up and moved, the red zone is expanding. yes. -when were you gonna tell auxilisun? auxilisun already knows. what? dr. sale and i know the truth. the truth? -yeah. the truth that you're killing people? the truth is that the energy we give the world is more important than some piece-of-shit small town... but no, people di... in the middle of nowhere! -his... that man's family. how many have lived? do you know how many hospitals, cities, homes use our energy? there were 230 assholes in barrow creek! -shut up! aaah! shut up, okay? you can find your own way out. abby. -so you were the one that was ruining the fans. you walked across the red zone by yourself? how long have you been dying? not sure. we all got sick at the same time. -i just lasted longer than margot, and sammy. this won't bring them back. i know what it's like to lose your family. then you know why i have to do this. -no. you're just gonna kill more people. i can't let you... don't follow me, abby. stop. -stay back! stop! no! stay back, abby! stop. -auxilisun, they took everything from me. if you destroy this place, you're no better than they are. and you are? no. the world needs a tragedy, to see what's been happening here. -i'll kill you before i let that happen. no, you won't. if we can get out of here, i have all the information on my adata. you and i, we can blow the whistle. -we can let everybody know. no, abby. they'll shut you down, abby! this thing's bigger than you! the whole world, abby! -they're being lied to! is this what margot and sammy would have wanted? not sure. i don't know. maybe i'll get a chance to ask 'em. -no! this is cte abby dixon to auxilisun tri-copter. rhine, do you read me? oh... i presume this is it. -oh yes, we're coming under her now. i got my floors all mixed up is all. when did you discover her? uh, this morning. she's been in here quite some time, mr. grandy. -do you know how many buildings i look in on, son? you expect me to scour every floor every day? i'll take it from here. if i need you, i'll come find you. -ah! all these stairs... who's there? that is mine. detective william murdoch, toronto constabulary. -identify yourself. howard philips lovecraft. what are you doing here? visiting her, of course. hello, my dear. -do not touch... i enjoy drawing. i see that. reading as well. gothic stories especially. -hm. did you know her? do you enjoy reading? yes. the girl, mr. lovecraft-- -what do you enjoy reading? anything from science periodicals to shakespeare. now young man, did you know the deceased? yes. what is her name? -i don't know. then how is it that you know her? from drawing her! once she was already dead? you never met her prior to her death? -no. we became close since. and i believe that we will meet again. how long have you been drawing her? i couldn't say. -time is not of consequence. in this instance, i'm afraid it is. a few weeks, i suppose. and how did you come to find her? a boy told me of her. -what is his name? clinton hartley. i can tell you where to find him if you'd like. yes, please. may i continue to draw her? -decomposition was helped along by rats, making identification impossible. but i can say with some certainty that she was young, fifteen or sixteen perhaps. and the cause of death? asphyxiation. i believe she was smothered with the handkerchief you found at the scene. -i found matching particles in her lungs. so, no wounds then? no! i can't explain the blood on the handkerchief or on her clothes. only to say that it wasn't hers. -it belonged to her assailant? also, the handkerchief was doused with chloroform. she would have gone painlessly. a compassionate killing. so, she could have known her killer. -she didn't arrive with this pendant, did she? no, only the clothes that remained. and now the pendant's gone. it could have been a figment of mr. lovecraft's imagination. yet why include it in the early drawings and not on later ones? -unless the killer returned to retrieve it. mr. hartley, how do you know mr. lovecraft? he sought me out after discovering i'd borrowed his favourite book from the library. edgar allen poe's the masque of the red death. have you read it? -no. and when was this? perhaps a month ago. so, the two of you became friends. yes, we are rather like- minded. -don't you think? although i admit i am not quite as drawn to death as howard. and yet you informed him of the body you found in the abandoned building. when did you do that? shortly after we met. -four weeks ago. and how is it that you... found this body? i was scouring for valuables. yes. is this one of the valuables that you found? -no, i've never seen that before. describe for me what the body looked like when you found it. i can't. i only got close enough to make out that it was a girl at the dress. the stench kept me at a distance. -surely your parents taught you to inform the police when you found such a thing? i don't speak with my parents. what an odd-looking group of youths, george. hm... margaret, what are you doing -here? verna jones is making me lead the discussion on this dreadful dracula book for our reading club. so what? thomas, this book is grotesque! -it is positively nightmare-inducing! verna is just doing it to spite me. who cares about verna jones? pick a different book then! wh- -and let verna win? what do you want me to do about it? i would like you to escort me to the morgue to speak to dr. ogden. she's a learned woman after all, and deals in the macabre. talk to her yourself, margaret. -i'm working. work? you're just sitting there like a lump! yes, at work. why do you live with your aunt, mr. lovecraft? -my father died from mental exhaustion after years in an insane asylum. i'm sorry to hear that. and your mother? she now resides in the same asylum in providence. good lord. -and that's not to say that... your... destiny is determined. or perhaps it is. oh, hello. hello, mrs. brackenreid. hello. -the inspector's wife. lovely lady. we have a common interest. oh? what's that? -blood. salvation. i really must be going, young man. your hands... these fingers... -mr. lovecraft, your aunt will be here very soon. thank you, mrs. brackenreid. mrs. brackenreid... no one but a woman can help a man when he is in trouble of the heart. what was this clinton hartley lad doing -in an abandoned building? scavenging for valuables, he claims. i thought he was rich! rebelling against his father's wealth. -rebelling against wealth. what's the matter with-- well... i don't want the others to know i'm speaking with you. alright. -have a seat. how did you get in here, young lady? i know the pendant, from the newspaper. what was her name? ellen woods. -how did she die? and your name? sarah glass. miss glass, is this ellen woods? looks like howard's drawings. -you know mr. lovecraft? he's the newest member in our group. he draws such... loving portraits. was miss woods a member of this group? -for a short while. but nobody cared for her. why is that? no reason exactly, just that everyone seemed to start fighting when ian brought her in. -ian? ian blair. ellen was a cousin of his from oshawa. new to toronto. he felt... obliged to welcome her, i suppose. -but she didn't fit in. our interests aren't shared by most. what interests are those? death. -making your parents proud, are you? we don't care what our parents or anyone else thinks of us. surely you found it strange when miss woods suddenly disappeared? we thought she went back to oshawa, as she had often threatened whenever anyone was hard on her. clinton especially. -thank you, miss glass. if we have further questions we'll contact you. if miss woods was a member of their group and miss glass recognized her from the pendants and drawings... surely clinton hartley -did as well. and he lied to us. bring him back in. yes, sir. hello? -is anybody there? ! hello? julia? ah! -margaret, what are you doing here? oh, i, uh... i want to discuss something with you. what is it? dracula. -the book! for my reading club. you're shaking like a leaf. is that... my scalpel? -i thought i heard something behind that door. that's the cold storage. unless the dead have come back to life, i assure you there's no one back there. -oh, i was certain i heard something. look. you see? aah! what on earth are you doing -in here! ? get out! i wanted to see her again. agh! -stay put! i'm calling the constables. you're bleeding. "do you believe in destiny? "that even the powers of time -"can be altered for a single purpose? "that the luckiest man who walks this earth is the one who finds true love?" young man, get... get up! get up! out. -keep moving! get out! lurking around the bloody morgue like a lunatic. what's wrong with him? he doesn't seem to see anything wrong with his behavior, -no matter how misguided. someone needs to instill some principles. a spell in the army would sort him out quickly enough. or perhaps, sirs, a more gentle form of guidance might benefit the young man. -what do you know about children? well i was one. still bloody are, half the time. so what do we do with him? we don't have enough to arrest him and i don't feel comfortable letting him go. -well, we can't trust his aunt to keep him under lock and key. keep him here? no, i've got a better idea. crabtree can take care of him. -he seems to know everything about child-rearing. sir, i'd be happy to. i believe this young man and myself might have more in common than you think. i have been through my own spells of melancholy. well, that's settled then. -no doubt mr. lovecraft will leave a boy and return a man courtesy of george crabtree, esquire. and sir, i may be no miracle worker, but i believe i can help lift the dark cloud that hovers over him. well, very good! thank you, george. -and when that dark cloud lifts, sir, not only will the sun warm mr. lovecraft, it may also shed some light on our case. or it'll rain buckets like a november monday in yorkshire on both of you. the sun shines sir, even in yorkshire. not on november mondays, it doesn't. -that's meant to be ellen? it's a rendering by mr. lovecraft, yes. surely you recognized that pendant as being hers when i showed it to you the first time. no, i don't pay attention to pendants and dresses. your friend sarah did. -well, i suppose girls notice things that boys do not. or, there's another explanation. you lied to me. because you had something to do with her death. i did not. -could one of the other members of your group, then? no. you were the first one to discover her body by your own admission, and yet you never reported it to the police? as i told you before, howard said he would inform the police. -did mr. lovecraft and ellen ever meet, to your knowledge? i don't think so. what was mr. lovecraft's reaction when you first told him about the body? somehow he didn't seem surprised. as if he knew about it already? -i don't need to see it. i already heard everything from clinton. heh... i understand you and ellen woods were cousins. yes, when she arrived from oshawa i tried to include her. -but your friends... didn't take to her? perhaps if they gave her a chance... where did you imagine she disappeared to? back to oshawa. -when she failed to arrive, did your family not alert you? i don't talk to my family. well, who do you live with then? i live with the others. at logan's. -is this logan also a member of your group? yes, we all keep a room at his house. ian, come on! i finally secured the balloon lung tester! may i go? -this logan's surname and address, first. logan smiley. 912 wellington. come on, ian. isn't this nice? -there's beauty all around us, mr. lovecraft. one need only open their eyes to see it. my eyes are wide open. then surely you can appreciate the, the... changing colours of the autumn leaves. as their veins choke off the nutrition they require to remain green. -their last gasp as they desperately cling to their lifeline before their inevitable death and descent. eh... then the leaves are absorbed into the ground, which provides the soil with the nutrition it needs to feed the trees which fostered the leaves to begin with. it's a, uh... beautiful circle of life! -decay begets more death and decay. look, mr. lovecraft. that squirrel. surely you can't deny his industry, his preparation for winter. -no sooner than i can deny the likelihood of its death. the ground will freeze over, his own kind as likely to steal his cache as he is to rediscover it in his struggle to endure the winter. i understand the others spend quite a bit of their time here, mr. smiley? your father doesn't mind? -he's dead. and mother's glad i have friends to keep me occupied while she travels with her latest paramour. is it true that you and ellen woods did not get along? none of us did. not even her cousin? -ian got along with her fine. what was the problem exactly? she and clinton fought frequently. it created a sense of unease amongst the group. i was happy when she left. -is that so? well, i mean before i found out she was murdered. i assume she kept a room here as well? yes. it's howard's now. -nothing of ellen's remains. even so. do you really think that squirrel will die? we all will. the only question is when. -i suppose you're right, you know. it's enough to make you wonder what the point of it all is. i mean, we all spend our lives just as this squirrel clawing, scratching, trying to get by. in the end we all end up in the same place anyway. but surely there's beauty to be found in our daily struggles. -i think that's what gives life it's depth, mr.-- ...lovecraft! ? these are all mr. lovecraft's belongings? yes, i threw out all of ellen's things after she disappeared. it's a love letter, sir. -"for never was there a story of more woe than ours." quoting the bard! bloody pretentious. indeed. it's filled with youthful angst and the language is melodramatic and dense, but the sentiment is unmistakable. it's signed by miss woods, but not directly addressed -to anyone, nor is it dated. no, sir. i found it in mr. lovecraft's room amongst his personal effects. "to my love," although generic, could have been miss woods' pet name for mr. lovecraft. -well, if you're right, this establishes a relationship between the two of them while miss woods was still alive. and mr. lovecraft's perverted fascination with death alone could provide motive. he prefers the dead to the living, maybe that extended to his most intimate relationships. julia. -doctor. burning the midnight oil? i was taking a final look at miss wood's body when i discovered something rather disturbing. what is it? -her left ring finger has been severed. it happened since she arrived. mr. lovecraft. crabtree! sir. -bring me lovecraft. i can't, sir. i lost him. you lost him? sir, i've looked all over toronto. -"do you believe in destiny? "that even the powers of time can be altered "for a single purpose? "that the luckiest man who walks this earth is the one who finds true love?" oh dear. -stop talking to him, mina, you foolish woman. walk away. hello? john, is that you? thomas? -hello? do you like it, mrs. brackenreid? i should knock his block off. margaret didn't get a wink of sleep last night, which means i didn't either! sir, he's just a boy. -no older than your son, john. john doesn't go around spooking housewives with severed body parts! i understand your frustration, but should you do anything rash, it could compromise our investigation. -get a confession and be done with him. sir. i have no intention of ever running for mayor again or any other political office. so, uh, this is where i'm needed, and this is where i'm gonna stay. -if you'll excuse me. can you tell us anything else about the undercover operation? actually, yes, uh, only that detective burkhardt and his partner, detective griffin and, of course, sergeant wu did an exemplary job. captain, we really do need to go. yes, thank you. -thank you all. all right. the press in the city has been outstanding. thank you. you will not get away with this. -sure gonna be interesting to see how you handle this... sir. what the hell do you think you're doing? the people of the city elected me as mayor! and they'll be forever grateful for my efforts. -i did the right thing. i put the best interests of this city ahead of my own. shut up! you're not me! wu, start the car! -be careful. my reputation's on the line any idea who will replace you as mayor? look, i'm not abdicating the mayorship, all right? i have no intention of stepping down! -can you clarify your position, sir? yeah, that wasn't me! then who was it? weren't you just wearing a different tie, sir? they're here. -come on, come on. you were great. we watched the whole thing. yeah, i believed every word. couldn't have done it without you. -i'll start going through renard's computer and files. get the names of every person he's been in contact with since dixon was assassination. when's this gonna wear off, anyway? are you starting to feel anything? oh, yeah. -i got hammered back in renard's office. felt like i got hit by a truck. what? yeah, nearly knocked him down. nothing else happened? -no. no, i came straight here. what? that was your body trying to turn back. what do you mean? -the pain nick felt was the spell wearing off. but it didn't wear off. so what happened? or didn't happen? i don't know. -unless... it's because you're a grimm. wait a minute. are you saying nick might be... like, stuck as renard forever? -where the hell's my computer? where's the hell's my briefcase? there's probably something in nick's dna that isn't allowing him to turn back into himself. there must be some way to reverse this effect. i know the thought of looking like renard for the rest of your life is kind of daunting, but nobody's saying this is permanent... -yet. he's right. nick, look, there must be all kinds of spells that could work great on reversing whatever is going on here, right, eve? i know. i'm looking. -i'm gonna help you. don't panic, okay? whatever you do, we're gonna figure this out. it's renard. hey, captain. -how you doing? put him on the phone. he wants to talk to you. thought i might hear from you. so it hasn't worn off yet. -nope, it hasn't worn off yet. and it won't unless we come to an agreement. and it won't unless we come to an agreement. you think it's pretty clever what you did. this little game is over as of right now. -it's not a game, and it's not over. now, if you think portland's big enough for two sean renards, think again. you'll always be contradicting yourself. no one is ever gonna believe you. they might just think you're crazy and lock you up. -well, then i better have a talk with myself... face-to-face. my loft, 20 minutes. i'll be on the roof. renard only has one thing he can use against you. -my son. can you get adalind and the kids, bring them back here? i should go with you. no, no. i'll know if he's not alone. -he doesn't know about the tunnels. you go with hank in case renard puts someone on adalind. we'll find a way to get you back. be careful. so, if i shoot you, is that considered suicide? -i thought we were here to talk? at least one of me is good for my word. i really think there's only room for one of me in this city. which one is that gonna be? thought i'd give you that one. -i know how much you're hurting right now. i knew that was coming. what'd you expect, a fair fight? not from you. there has to be some way to bring him back. -if there is, it isn't here. i'm not finding anything in any of the books about a grimm going through a spell of any kind without dying. well, maybe we just... we start over, okay? we just... we just do the spell on nick like we're doing it for the first time, except we'll turn the captain into nick. -that's a great idea... then all we need is some of nick's hair. that won't work. we would be doing a spell on a spell, and there's still no guarantee it wouldn't kill nick. she fell asleep in the car. i made up the cot. -where's nick? uh, he's, uh, still with renard. the spell didn't wear off. what? nick's still renard? -we think it has something to do with him being a grimm. you know more about these spells than anyone. walk me through exactly what you did. oh! ugh. -we can do this all night. it won't change a damn thing. no, it won't. i want my life back! yeah, so do i. -but i get to be mayor. not gonna happen. you already quit, and everybody in portland knows it. hw is dead in portland, nick. so you got no one backing you up. -yeah, so is black claw, sean. and with bonaparte dead, you got no one to back you up either. yeah, well, someone's going down for the north precinct attack, and that's not gonna be me. yeah, well, someone's going down for killing bonaparte, and it's not gonna be me. so how do you we do this? -blame the north precinct attack on bonaparte. how does that work? corrupt cops under bonaparte's control got greedy. they went after him. he went after them. -that's why you resigned the mayorship. you wanted to lead this investigation. you really think we can go back to the way it was? no, but we'll figure out a way to make it work. for both of us. -it's the only way. i suppose you want your old job back. not just me. wu and hank, too. sure. -anything else? yeah, i raise my son. i raise my daughter. and adalind comes with me eh, take her. -but just remember, diana loves her daddy, and she would hate it if anything bad would ever happen to him. and if i ever see another me again, this deal is dead. and so are you. you did everything right. nick should've turned back by now. -then it has to be because he's a grimm. then what are we going to do? there's nothing we can do. what are we gonna tell him? we have to tell him the truth. -if nick is stuck as the captain for the rest of his life, he's gonna blow his brains out. hey, nick. not yet. what happened? we came to an understanding. -yeah, looks like it. so what's the deal? renard's gonna stick to what i said on the news tonight. and you're no longer on the run? that's the deal. -what about us? we all get our jobs back. and renard's the captain. that'll be interesting. one big happy family. -do i have to go back with renard? no, you're coming with me. but he wants diana with him. i'm not giving up my daughter. you don't have to, but you're gonna have to share her. -if you try to keep her away from him, it might only make things worse. um, small question... don't want to rock any boats here, but how do we know this is really nick and not the captain trying to trick us? oh, he's right. nick could be dead. -it's not renard. it's me. i-i-i just can't get out of this. that sounds good, but that's exactly what renard would say. we need to ask him a question only nick would know. -where was our first kiss? at the table in my loft. or at the bremen ruins where i took your powers. that was not a kiss. it's nick. -i want to hug you right now, but i can't hug this. has someone figured out a way to get me out of this? i take it that's a "no." it might be because of who you are. there may not be a way out of it. -well, i can't stay like this. nick, we're not going to give up. daddy? what happened to your face? daddy just had a little accident, honey. -yeah, i, uh... i'm okay. you're not my daddy. no, honey! honey, it... -nick is just trapped in daddy's body. it's not his fault. nick. yeah. oh. -mm. so... how did it go? i tried to tell you. you chose the wrong side, sean. -previouslyon "grimm"... i don't think you should be carrying thestick aroundallthetime. lookwhathappenedwhenthose guystriedto i don't think that's such a good idea. i can see it--little pictures and some strange writing. -can you draw what you're seeing? i 'veneverseen anythinglikethis. me neither. he'scomingafterme. and if you don't go back, he's gonna be coming after both of us. -bastard got everything he wanted. i want burkhardt found. ¶¶ we should've killed renard when we had the chance. we never had the chance. -hey, guys. cops were just here. well, did they leave? not before they checked out the shop, like, fully. what if they come back and break in? -nick, you need to get out of here. i'm going with you. what's to stop renard from coming after all of us? nothing. renard will assume we know where you are. -well, then i guess it's good we're out of there. what do you mean "out of there"? renard wants our resignations first thing in the morning. he's cleaning house. let's go. -leave diana's drawing--we'll keep trying to figure it out. we should've killed renard when we didn't have the chance. do not take this ring off, because it would be extremely painful... for your children. how was your day? -not very good. that's too bad. if anything happens to nick-- - yes, i've heard it all before. i really think you should be more worried about what happens to you. how are we supposed to make this work? -i'm not concerned about "we" making this work. it's your problem. like it or not... you are stuck with me. and you better get with the program before i take office. -i expect a lot of support from the first lady of this city. you're doing the right thing. what is it? nothing. that didn't look like nothing to me. -you felt something. i... didn't want to put it back. why? i don't know. -it felt like i needed it. do you? well, it saved my life. and mine. you love adalind. -why are you asking? i'm not. i can feel it. got my resignation done. you? -just printing it out. what happened to nick's stuff? i.a. confiscated everything this morning. what the hell do they think they're gonna find? they are wiping the slate clean. -i want you both out by the end of the day. no problem. here's my resignation. and yours. actually, it is a problem. -wu... this is not right. i really don't care what you think, sergeant. i want your resignation, and i want you off the premises. or if you'd like, we can escort you out. -¶¶ thank you. now get out. this is not right. wu, back it down. you're starting to-- wu, pull yourself together. -this is not the place you want to do this. wu, stop. do you hear me? yeah. yeah. -now grab your stuff, and let's get the hell out of here. these are the symbols i saw on the dead guy's face in hell, or wherever it was he took me. and everything else is what diana saw. did the crusaders make these marks on the cloth, or was it already there when they got to it? well, i don't know if the cloth was with the stick when they found it, but none of this was visible with spectral imaging. -how could diana see it? do you remember what your mother said to us about diana? this child has an extraordinary destiny. in the wrong hands, it could do great evil, but in the right hands, it could do great good. so we're talking, like, "changing the course of history" -kind of a person. diana's power is far greater than anything renard has. do you hear something? someone's coming. more than one. -hey, nick, it's me and wu. we got some sandwiches, water, and some other stuff that'll last a long time. you guys hand in your resignations? we did. we are officially unemployed. -i bet renard was pretty broken up to see you guys go. oh, yeah. we're a threat to him. well, we better figure out how we're gonna deal with this, because i do not plan on living down here with you guys. as long as renard is captain, he'll only have the precinct. -but when he becomes mayor... he'll have all of portland. well, there's got to be a way to stop him before he becomes mayor. yeah, we'll just convince him the best thing to do is resign. oh, that shouldn't be very hard. -he's a reasonable dickwad. what if we don't have to convince him? i don't think he'll do it if we just ask politely. or we don't ask. we do it. -the same way eve got all the information from rachel. well, eve slept with rachel. i was renard at the time. yeah, but who are you gonna be this time? rachel's dead, and we can't have two renards out there. -why not? nick, really? one renard out there is more than enough. well, not if one of them is one of us. do you still have the hat? -yeah, i have it. but i don't know if i can go through that again. no, not you. me. you want me to turn you into renard? -how else are we gonna get him to agree to what we want? i have no idea what you're talking about. but i think i like it. ¶¶ jeremiah. -well, this is a surprise. we need to talk. yeah, of course, come on in. something about the campaign? no, i don't want to talk about the campaign. -shut the door. all right. what's the problem? rachel wood. you were arrested for her murder. -now, look, i had nothing to do with her death. as you may have heard, the charges were completely dropped. you were having an affair with her. that is none of your business. it certainly is my business! -we were friends. i worked with her. we helped to get you elected. what's this about? i was there that night. -were you? i saw you go into her apartment. when i went in after you left, she was dead. i found her body. look, i didn't kill rachel. -i loved her, and you killed her! what do you want? justice. and how do you expect to get that? why don't you think about how much it'll cost to keep my mouth shut? -you got 24 hours. hello? it's me. can you talk? yeah, i'm just at the park with the kids. -are you okay? yeah. are you? there may be a way to stop renard from becoming mayor. what? -how? the verfluchte zwillingsschwester. i can't do that. i'm with the kids. no, um... -eve is gonna do it for me. oh. um, so you're gonna need some of his hair. when do you need it? as soon as possible. -where's renard now? at the precinct, i think. okay, go home. i'll send monroe to you. he'll call before he comes up, but you have to be very careful. -renard can't know you had anything to do with this. nick, this better work. i can't spend another night at that house. hopefully you won't have to. we're good. -as you know, the new captain of this precinct will be reporting directly to the mayor's office. i understand. it would be an honor to succeed you, sir. yes, i know. before i announce my decision, you're gonna have to prove your loyalty. -and not just to the mayor's office... but to me. i'm ready anytime... sir. you got everything you need? -except for the hair. are you sure you should be handling all this stuff, i mean, now that you're pregnant? i think it should be fine, as long as i don't breathe through the hat. and seriously, is this even a good idea in the first place? -i mean, the last time we did this, juliette turned into a pretty wicked hexenbiest. i mean, not that it was her fault, by the way. adalind should be home by now. you should go. -okay, how much hair do you need? adalind will know, but get back here as soon as you can. okay, okay. i'm out. what are you doing here? -i have what you asked for. how much? if you want it, open the door. ¶¶ i guess you don't trust me. -show me the money. now, how do i know you'll stop threatening me? you killed the woman i love. you don't deserve an answer to that question. i did not kill rachel. -if you were innocent, then you wouldn't have paid. oh, i'm not paying. ¶¶ you are. sorry about the blood, sir. it'll wash out. -congratulations on your promotion... captain. and when you're done cleaning up, come meet me back at the precinct. thank you for the opportunity, sir. monroe? -where are you? i 'macrossthestreet. areyoualone? it's just me and the kids, but they're asleep. front door's open--i'm upstairs, first door on the right. -okay. ¶¶ okay. adalind, do you have the hair? oh. yeah. -okay. you sure this is enough? it's all i could get. okay. where are you going? -the spice shop. clothes! so what's eve gonna do? what do you mean "what's even gonna do"? she's gonna make the potion. -i mean after she makes the potion, when she turns into the captain. she's not turning into the captain--nick is. nick is? it'll be more believable-- you know, nick being a cop and everything. come on, i got to get going. -okay. oh, wait, wait! shoes and tie. right. ties are in the back. -okay. oh, blue or red? what? i don't know. blue might be the smarter choice, you know, but i got to say, a lot of people like red. -it's the power color, but nick's not really a tie type of guy, but then again, it's not actually gonna be nick- oh, my god, just pick one! right, right. i'll take 'em both. okay, hurry. oh, don't forget to keep renard home tonight. -for how long? nick just said he wants you to make sure renard sees the 7:00 news. why? there's gonna be some kind of announcement. okay, just go. -somebody's here. who's here? crap! it's sean. how do i get out of here? -you don't. in the closet. what? just go! oh, my god, are you serious? -i don't like this idea one bit. why are you home? i need a shirt. is that blood? it's not important. -are you hurt? no. what happened? well, someone thought i killed rachel. thoughtit'dbe worthalot ofmoneynottosayanything. -so that's not your blood. here, give it to me. i'll get you a new shirt. no, i got it. i think there's some blood in your hair, too. -what? where? why don't you just go take a shower? you don't want diana to see blood in your hair... or anyone else either. -hangon asecond. why are you being so nice to me? just trying to get with the program. go! now! -oh, my god. ¶¶ it's almost ready. we need renard's hair. where's monroe? -how much longer? monroe's not back yet with the hair. i'm calling him now. that better be you calling. what happened? -renard came home while i was there. did he see you? no. adalind hid me in the closet. man, i got to tell you, she saved my ass. -what was he doing home in the middle of the day? he needed to come home to change his shirt 'cause there was blood on it. something about a guy blackmailing him because rachel was killed. i think if we think about it, we can figure out how the blood got there. did you get the hair? -yeah, right here. are you ready? anything i should know? just breathe deeply three times. wait, wait! -what? i'm just thinking, has this ever been done on a grimm before? i don't know. well, we should look at the books just to be safe. no, there's no time. -wait! what now? your clothes, you should probably take them off. renard is bigger than you. the clothes that you're wearing are gonna be a little bit tight. -do you feel anything? not really. uh, shouldn't this be happening right now? maybe it doesn't work on a grimm? maybe we mixed it wrong. -i'll look at the books. should it be happening like this? it's working. oh, my god. ¶¶ -you should take a look. oh, no. i'm woged? you cannot go out like that. how do i get rid of this? -you have to relax. relax? you just turned me into a zauberbiest! you can't get out of it until you calm down. you need to take some deep breaths. -nick, nick, nick, listen to me! you can control this. you just have to, like, let yourself go emotionally, right? and then just, like, zen yourself out. okay, that's not-- no, not helping. -all right, easy, easy. mm-hmm. mm-hmm. we're gonna let it go, okay? breathe... -and breathe. yeah. there you go. yes. oh, wow, that fel-- that felt so weird. -i got to say, i've never been this happy to see renard. it's 6:30. you don't have much time. you need to get dressed. yeah. -okay. severallargenewspapers acrossthenation haveannouncedlayoffs thisweek fromtheir printmediadivisions. thepapersallreport dwindlingsalesnumbers... now that you're here, why don't you just stay home? got to get back to the office. -why? we can make dinner. can't. s-sean, if you want this to work out, we're gonna have to be spending more time together. i understand, just not tonight. -well, there are things we need to talk about. like what? well, your daughter, for one. diana? why, did she kill somebody else? -no, sean, she hasn't killed anyone else, but she has other issues. can we just talk about this later, please? you want to put off talking about your own daughter? i mean, what kind of father are you? okay, all right, what? -well, her education, for one. her education? what about it? i mean, she's gonna go to school. of course she's going to go to school, but where? -i don't know. just pick a place. it's diana. it's not that easy. what if she gets into a fight with a kid on the playground, or what if one of her teachers gives her a time-out? -i mean, that might be a forever time-out for the teacher. well, we'll just have to explain to her that there are certain boundaries, all right? we'll work it out. no, i mean, she-- she can't go to public school. she can't go to private school. -we certainly can't homeschool her. i would go insane. can we deal with this later? but if she doesn't go to school, she'll have no friends. i mean, she'll have no sleepovers, no playdates. -she'll have zero social skills. how are we gonna deal with this? okay, all right, i get it. okay? i guess i can be a little late. -what's on your mind? well, a lot of stuff. wow. you look exactly like him. yeah, exactly. -i mean, every hair is perfect. oh. it's a little weird being this tall. mm. something wrong? -the way you move. what do you mean? it's a little off. off? off how? -it's, uh... not quite renard enough. yeah, yeah, you need to be a little more... renard-y. more full of yourself. -oh. a lot more. oh, exactly. like you were just elected mayor of portland. mm-hmm. -and you think you deserve it. and you want nick burkhardt dead. that's it. that's perfect. there you go. -monroe. rosalee. hank, back here. i told you to give me your resignation. i gave you my damn resignation! -pretty good, huh? nick? yeah. sorry. no--no, no. -no, that's all-- that had to hurt. oh, yeah. yeah. okay. it'stimefor "liveat7. " -all right, look, maybe i haven't given diana's education a lot of thought, all right? but considering everything that's been going on recently? i mean, look... look, her education is just as important to me as it is to you, but right now i have to go. you don't know how happy that makes me to hear you say that. -adalind, please, i have to go. i know you have to go, and that is why it is so amazing that you've stayed here to talk about our daughter. mm-hmm. you are an amazing father. okay, yeah, i just- citizensof portland... -itiswithgreatsadnessthat istandbeforeyou tonight. now,i wishto say thati amprofoundlygrateful tothepeople... what the hell? ofthiswonderfulcity forelectingme theirmayor, butithasbecomeapparent thattherecentattack onthenorthprecinct will require my full attention. andi am,therefore, abdicatingthemayorship. -what? i cannot, ingoodconscience, leavethepolicedepartment atitstimeofgreatestneed. andi trulybelievethat icouldbestservethecity... when did you record this? i didn't record this! -it's live! therecentmanhunt fordetectivenickburkhardt wasactually anundercoverinvestigation stagedtobring therealkillertojustice. now,sincethisis anongoinginvestigation, icannotfurthercomment, buti wouldlike tothankdetectiveburkhardt forhisexemplarywork andcongratulatehim ona jobwelldone. no, no, no, no, no, no! -no! ¶¶ if i find out that you had anything to do with this... you were unbelievable on the news. the whole precinct saw it. -this is nick, right? yeah, it's me. okay, great, because that was amazing. you were so him, nick, renard must be going ballistic. hey, i just got a text from adalind. -she says renard saw the whole thing--he's on his way here. we don't have much time. all right, wait here. stop him if he comes this way. looking forward to it. -welcome back, captain. that man is a class act. oh. you get his computer. i'll get his files. -uh, don't you mean your files and your computer, sir? right. sorry. could i have a word with you, captain? can you tell me what this is about? -it's about the operation we discussed earlier, sir. it's important. sure. uh, detective, would you give me a minute? don't forget--you have that meeting you can't be late for. -be right there. what the hell is going on? we had a deal. what about it? i proved my loyalty. -uh-huh. i got rid of the body. i wiped down the whole damn house. to prove your loyalty. yes, to prove my loyalty. -and you did. look... if i don't take over this department, you and i are gonna have a problem. because you were gonna take over as captain. that was the deal. -now, i killed a man in front of you. i kept my part of the bargain. and then you got blood on my shirt. seriously? i tear the throat out of a man who's blackmailing you, you're complaining about a little blood on your shirt? -well, that's what i consider a deal breaker, lieutenant... grossante. so, unless you want to be arrested for murder, i suggest that you get the hell out of my office. or you could die right here. -¶¶ i won't forget this. well, neither will i, lieutenant. neither will i. what was that about? -what's wrong? i think i'm turning back. all right, we need to get you out of here. yeah. captain. -captain! captain, can you tell us more about abdicating the mayorship? has an arrest been made in the north precinct attack? how difficult a decision was it to remain on the force? captain. -get out of my way. you don't want to go in there... 'cause you're already in there. it might be a little awkward. just sayin'. -¶¶ i have no intention of ever running for mayor again or any other political office. so, uh, this is where i'm needed, and this is where i'm gonna stay. if you'll excuse me. can you tell us anything else about the undercover operation? -actually, yes, uh, only that detective burkhardt and his partner, detective griffin and, of course, sergeant wu did an exemplary job. captain, we really do need to go. yes, thank you. thank you all. all right. -the press in the city has been outstanding. thank you. you will not get away with this. sure gonna be interesting to see how you handle this... sir. -what the hell do you think you're doing? the people of the city elected me as mayor! and they'll be forever grateful for my efforts. i did the right thing. i put the best interests of this city ahead of my own. -shut up! you're not me! wu, start the car! be careful. my reputation's on the line -any idea who will replace you as mayor? look, i'm not abdicating the mayorship, all right? i have no intention of stepping down! can you clarify your position, sir? yeah, that wasn't me! -then who was it? weren't you just wearing a different tie, sir? they're here. come on, come on. you were great. -we watched the whole thing. yeah, i believed every word. couldn't have done it without you. i'll start going through renard's computer and files. get the names of every person he's been in contact with since dixon was assassination. -when's this gonna wear off, anyway? are you starting to feel anything? oh, yeah. i got hammered back in renard's office. felt like i got hit by a truck. -what? yeah, nearly knocked him down. nothing else happened? no. no, i came straight here. -what? that was your body trying to turn back. what do you mean? the pain nick felt was the spell wearing off. but it didn't wear off. -so what happened? or didn't happen? i don't know. unless... it's because you're a grimm. -wait a minute. are you saying nick might be... like, stuck as renard forever? where the hell's my computer? where's the hell's my briefcase? -there's probably something in nick's dna that isn't allowing him to turn back into himself. there must be some way to reverse this effect. i know the thought of looking like renard for the rest of your life is kind of daunting, but nobody's saying this is permanent... yet. he's right. -nick, look, there must be all kinds of spells that could work great on reversing whatever is going on here, right, eve? i know. i'm looking. i'm gonna help you. don't panic, okay? -whatever you do, we're gonna figure this out. it's renard. hey, captain. how you doing? put him on the phone. -he wants to talk to you. ¶¶ thought i might hear from you. so it hasn't worn off yet. nope, it hasn't worn off yet. -and it won't unless we come to an agreement. and it won't unless we come to an agreement. you think it's pretty clever what you did. this little game is over as of right now. it's not a game, and it's not over. -now, if you think portland's big enough for two sean renards, think again. you'll always be contradicting yourself. no one is ever gonna believe you. they might just think you're crazy and lock you up. well, then i better have a talk with myself... -face-to-face. my loft, 20 minutes. i'll be on the roof. renard only has one thing he can use against you. my son. -can you get adalind and the kids, bring them back here? i should go with you. no, no. i'll know if he's not alone. he doesn't know about the tunnels. -you go with hank in case renard puts someone on adalind. we'll find a way to get you back. be careful. ¶¶ so, if i shoot you, is that considered suicide? -i thought we were here to talk? at least one of me is good for my word. i really think there's only room for one of me in this city. ¶¶ which one is that gonna be? -thought i'd give you that one. i know how much you're hurting right now. ¶¶ i knew that was coming. what'd you expect, a fair fight? -not from you. if there is, it isn't here. i'm not finding anything in any of the books about a grimm going through a spell of any kind without dying. well, maybe we just... we start over, okay? -we just--we just do the spell on nick like we're doing it for the first time, except we'll turn the captain into nick. that's a great idea--then all we need is some of nick's hair. that won't work. we would be doing a spell on a spell, and there's still no guarantee it wouldn't kill nick. i made up the cot. -where's nick? uh, he's, uh, still with renard. the spell didn't wear off. what? nick's still renard? -we think it has something to do with him being a grimm. you know more about these spells than anyone. walk me through exactly what you did. oh! ugh. -we can do this all night. it won't change a damn thing. no, it won't. i want my life back! yeah, so do i. -but i get to be mayor. not gonna happen. you already quit, and everybody in portland knows it. hw is dead in portland, nick. so you got no one backing you up. -yeah, so is black claw, sean. and with bonaparte dead, you got no one to back you up either. yeah, well, someone's going down for the north precinct attack, and that's not gonna be me. yeah, well, someone's going down for killing bonaparte, and it's not gonna be me. so how do you we do this? -blame the north precinct attack on bonaparte. how does that work? corrupt cops under bonaparte's control got greedy. they went after him. he went after them. -that's why you resigned the mayorship. you wanted to lead this investigation. you really think we can go back to the way it was? no, but we'll figure out a way to make it work. for both of us. -it's the only way. not just me. wu and hank, too. sure. anything else? -yeah, i raise my son. i raise my daughter. eh, take her. but just remember, diana loves her daddy, and she would hate it if anything bad would ever happen to him. ¶¶ and if i ever see another me again, this deal is dead. -and so are you. youdideverythingright. nick should've turned back by now. then it has to be because he's a grimm. then what are we going to do? -there's nothing we can do. what are we gonna tell him? we have to tell him the truth. if nick is stuck as the captain for the rest of his life, he's gonna blow his brains out. hey, nick. -what happened? we came to an understanding. yeah, looks like it. so what's the deal? renard's gonna stick to what i said on the news tonight. -and you're no longer on the run? that's the deal. what about us? we all get our jobs back. and renard's the captain. -that'll be interesting. one big happy family. do i have to go back with renard? no, you're coming with me. but he wants diana with him. -i'm not giving up my daughter. you don't have to, but you're gonna have to share her. if you try to keep her away from him, it might only make things worse. um, small question-- don't want to rock any boats here, but how do we know this is really nick and not the captain trying to trick us? oh, he's right. -nick could be dead. it's not renard. it's me. i-i-i just can't get out of this. that sounds good, but that's exactly what renard would say. -we need to ask him a question only nick would know. where was our first kiss? at the table in my loft. or at the bremen ruins where i took your powers. that was not a kiss. -it's nick. i want to hug you right now, but i can't hug this. has someone figured out a way to get me out of this? i take it that's a "no." it might be because of who you are. -there may not be a way out of it. well, i can't stay like this. nick, we're not going to give up. daddy? ¶¶ what happened to your face? -¶¶ daddy just had a little accident, honey. yeah, i, uh... i'm okay. ¶¶ -you're not my daddy. no, honey! honey, it-- nick is just trapped in daddy's body. it's not his fault. -nick. yeah. oh. mm. ¶¶ -so... how did it go? i tried to tell you. ¶¶ you chose the wrong side, sean. ¶¶ -it's over here. it's over here. i stashed it over here. i think it's over here. oh, my god, i can't believe i'm faster than you. -what are you talking about? man, i smoked you. i'm wearing loafers. why would you wear loafers to kill hitler? it's called a "fall look." -yeah, i did that, too, with my hat. dan, get in the bag! yep, yep, yep, yep. _ _ -_ i wanted to kill hitler when he was young, before he was surrounded by all those nazis, but... chris had a real problem with stabbing a baby. i'm sorry you had to deal with that. ooh! -do you think that smashed raccoon belongs to anyone? yes. i think someone probably claimed it. anyway, my trip wasn't a total waste. i stole hitler's spoon! -did that stop world war ii? no, no. but i mean, think about it. he comes downstairs in the morning, he wants a bowl of cereal... it's a total disaster. -there's no way he realizes he has no spoon before he pours the milk. what a mild annoyance. it's got to be so mild. hear ye, hear ye. this time travel meeting is now called to order. -any ideas for our next mission? actually, i've come up with a way to stop 9/11. really? i was reading an article that said that mark wahlberg believes that had he been on one of those planes, it never would have happened. -okay. so it got me thinking. why don't we go back... and put mark wahlberg on one of those planes? that is a bad plan. look, guys, after what happened to davey... -oh, was davey the young british man you exploded in colonial times? yes, it was. and now i feel like i owe the universe something huge in return. we aren't very good at time traveling. -we almost ruined the american revolution, and the hitler thing didn't work. or so i... gather. i wasn't invited. you were invited. it's just you're not a real person, so it's hard to get, like, information for a passport. -yeah. and no explanation needed. i... i'm not mad about it at all. you seem a little mad. -regardless, it's too much pressure to try and take on all the world's problems at once. she's got a point, chris. guys, come on. we have a great power. and with great power comes... -great responsibility. oh, spider-man. so good. he's got a point, deb. we have to take it slow, or we could do more harm than good. -she's got a point. the world is depending on us. we don't have time to take it slow. he's got a point, deb. we have a whole bag of time. -daniel? thoughts? can i use your bathroom? what's he doing? john hancock and sam adams. -daniel! hey, the tavern owner said i'd find you guys out here. come. help us feast on these completely charred and nearly inedible flying beasts. -the trick to catching more than one duck at once is to kill them while they're fornicating. we followed their quacks of ecstasy into the woods, crept up, smashed them with rocks! how can you tell a quack of ecstasy? a quack of ecstasy is two quacks. two quacks heightening... to a final clim-quacks. -but there's three ducks. as far as we could tell, these two ducks here were in a relationship, and this third duck was hanging around watching, trying to get in on the mix. he was sort of molting and fluffing himself, and then he laid an egg. cool. well, i-i need your advice on something. -see, deb, chris and i are starting a business. oh. we're selling, um... horse manure. an evergreen product that people will always need. right. -so, um, chris wants to sell large bags of manure. and deborah would rather us sell small bags of manure. little bags of poop. convenient. right. -but the manure itself is mine... your poop. so the decision comes down to me. up to you? yeah. -what is so funny about that? no, no, it's just, you don't have the mental fortitude to make such decisions. i thought you knew that. okay. uh, come here. -come on, look at me. get-get close here. look me, look me in the eye here. close. get right in there. -daniel! mm-hmm. i am now looking... directly... into your soul. hmm? you have the body of a man... but inside, you are but a wee babe. -can i look away now, please? no! something happened! okay. something traumatic stunted your growth at a very young age. -traumatic? and you never got over it. am i right? tell him if he's right. big sammy is here to help, but you have to take it! -ow! take the help! ow! take the help! okay! -i... the... now that you're... yelling at me, there was something that happened to me in my childhood that i guess i never got over. something traumatic? yes, something traumatic. daniel, if you do not overcome this obstacle, i can promise you... you will never accomplish anything of note, ever! so you're saying i need to fix my past... before my business can have a future. -what? what? was that... yeah. yeah. -right? yeah. yeah, sure. well, i've made a decision. and that is that i can't make a decision until i get back to the past and fix what's wrong in my personal life. -what does that mean? that means get your charlotte hornets starter jacket out of storage... we're going to the '90s. oh, my! what happened to everyone's denim? oh, it's just acid-washed. -they won't be wearing it much longer. you brought us to an ice cream place? not just any ice cream place. this is chadwick's, the place my father called me a failure for the first time. oh, daniel, i'm sorry. -but i'm gonna prove my dead dad wrong by finishing the 40-scoop belly buster that i could never finish when i had the stomach of a boy. no, no, no, no. we did not travel back in time so you could eat ice cream. chris, the belly buster is my white whale, which is an expression i use all the time without really knowing what it means. you're saying it right. -i... i always wanted to prove that i could finish the belly buster, but then chadwick's went out of business and... i never got the chance. this is a complete waste. ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. -i thought you'd say that. which is why i brought... this. now, you feel you owe the universe something after you exploded your friend, davey, right? okay, we all exploded him. eh... you fired the shot. -you lit the wick! i think we can all agree that it was you that murdered him senselessly. right? well, judi forelli gets hit by a car and killed in an hour. go save her life... then you and the universe are even. -thank you. i'm on it. this is so exciting. i've never tried ice cream before. what? -! well, my father had some once, and i had hoped for a taste, but he fed the remainder to the pigs instead. the pigs looked at me differently after that, as if they knew something i didn't. pigs are very smart. that's why a lot of celebrities have them as pets. -the belly buster has three stages. the gorge. i stuff ice cream into my fat face. the settle. this is where i have 35 scoops of ice cream that need to drop to my butt so i can fit more of it into my tummy. -stage three: the finish. this is where i'm walking a tightrope between glory and diarrhea. let's hope for glory, dan. we can hope. -but you should know i am lactose intolerant. 1990's fun! all right, belly buster, you're about to get busted. oh, daniel, you brought your lucky hitler spoon! midler spoon. -like bette midler. bette midler is a family friend of mine, and i stole her spoon. no, no. adolf hitler. it's me against you, dad. -let the gorge begin. come on, judi forelli, where are you? oh, she's a teacher. the universe is gonna love me. okay... -in all this excitement, i still haven't had a chance to try ice cream. i was afraid to have my arms close to your mouth. if you want, you can go up to the counter and get some free samples. they'll let me taste iced creams for free? like that man whose hat offered mustache rides? -yes. and again, please stop bringing that up. now, go enjoy your samples. i'm gonna work on the settle. okay. -careful, now. oh, my god. that truck would have killed me. i know... judi. -how do you... how do you know my... are you my guardian angel? yes. yes, i am. all black people are guardian angels. -remember that. even o.j.? yeah. mmm. josiah's britches! -and what did you say this kind was? chocolate. how did they get the chocolate into the ice cream? are you stoned? no. -no, i have never been stoned, nor have i stoned another person, innocent or criminal. right. you're not from around here, are you? a few towns over. but i'm so glad i made the trip. -you must smile every day you come to work. you know, i used to. opening this place was my dream. but once that dream became a reality, i realized it was mostly scraping gum off stuff. -but isn't it all worth it when you see the joy in a child's face? honestly, i'd like to sell this place and become a mailman. now, that's a shame. i wish you could see what i taste in this place. hang on. -you like chocolate? try this. this is rocky road. mmm! i have traveled many a rocky road, but none have been this delicious. -that was humor. yeah, i figured. i'd never taste an actual road. unless there was a famine. nba jam? -two miracles in one day. boomshakalaka. got next. no, you don't. i have two rolls of quarters. -i have the next 20 games. yo, that's not fair. "that's not fair." nice overalls, urkel. urkel? -urkel? ! "urkel? urkel?" "did i do that?" -have you proven yourself to the ghost of your father yet? no. and the settle is not going great. there is some real '90s garbage in this place. i just saved a woman's life. -show some respect. oh, my god. i know that kid. that's kevin crowley. you know that young adult? -he used to bully me in junior high. it got so bad that i had to pretend i have a learning disability to make sure we ended up at different high schools. that's really tough, man. i'm sorry. and the weirdest thing was that we were actually friends. -and then one day, out of the blue, he showed up and started waling on me. you didn't do anything to deserve it? no. i-i did nothing. and when we were friends, i was actually kind of cool. -i was basically the matt damon of my junior high class. and after the bullying, i was pretty much just the marv damon. my local congressman who got arrested for masturbating in a library. to a book? and the weirdest thing about the whole situation was that, while he was beating me up, there was a bunch of adults just standing there, watching, doing nothing. -well, i'm not gonna do nothin'. what are you gonna do? something. yeah, but what? yeah? -never thought i'd see you again. who are you? someone you bullied 20 years ago. i'm only 12. i came here looking for some dad-sized demons to conquer. -and all of a sudden, i ran into a little turd demon. you sure you have the right person? yeah. you may have bullied me, but you're not gonna bully my friend chris. -yo. "you bullied me." okay, urkel. urkel? "urkel? -urkel?" oh! oh! oh! oh...! -it settled. you made the ice cream settle. oh, my god. thank you. and now it's my time to settle something. -the score. this is for dan chambers. you guys all saw that kid hit me first, right? ! that's why i had to kick him in the penis. -all right, dead dad, let's see who the failure is now. i did it! that's not done. what? that is not done. -cookie bowl is part of it. cookie bowl is part of it. i can't do it. i can't do it. my dad was right. -i'm a loser and a failure and a fat pig. and i'm even a failure at being a fat pig, because i didn't eat all the ice cream. no, no. you are not going to fail on my watch, you fat pig. i love you. -thank you for that. you busted that bully, and now it's time to bust that belly, buster. thank you, guys, for believing in me. here i go. i did it. -yeah! yay! screw you, dad! oh. i did it. -oh. oh. oh. all right, mrs. chadwick, t-shirt me. -what are you doing? what do you mean? i finished the belly buster. don't i get a t-shirt? i might have one back here. -could you check on it quick? i'm kind of cold. i'm also, like, filled with a bunch of cold. i have one left. oh, great. -and the only person here who deserves it is her. i... what did i do to deserve such an honor? your infantile love of ice cream made me realize that this is not just a place of business. this is a place of joy. -my first name is joy. i love that name. that's wonderful. so you're not thinking of closing chadwick's anymore? no. -i'm actually thinking of hiring one more employee. do you have any desire to work here? yes! yes, i would love to. uh... -i would love to. no, no, no. she actually can't. we're from out of town, and all of our cars are broken. yes. -i-i... i can't. i forgot. i can't. just to circle back again, -i still feel like i should get something for finishing the belly buster. you kicked a kid, and you have a weird nazi spoon. i should call the cops on you. let's get out of here, deb. this place is dead anyway. -he didn't mean it. and that was the most satisfying tummy ache of my life. thank you so much. is this time machine amazing or what? i mean, my dad invents it. -then i use it to go back and talk to hancock and adams, our nation's two best presidents. they make me realize i have issues with my dad that i need to fix in the past. while i'm there, i meet my bully. i get to get revenge on him. it's like the universe wanted everything to work out perfectly. -help! someone! mommy! wait a minute. i recognize that voice. -stop it! stop it! it's me. i thought we were friends, dan. we are friends! -then why'd you send some old dude to come attack me for no reason? did i always cause my own beating by traveling back in time and punching that kid for dan chambers? probably not. you brought this on yourself, daniel chambers. maybe. -i have to do something. whoa! stop it. stop it. ow. -maybe you can't interact with yourself in the past. maybe the universe implodes or something. don't do it again. i'd hate to implode. what am i supposed to do, just stand here and do nothing, like those adults that watched me get beat... -oh, no. help! help! help. help. -i'm sorry. i can't. please, i don't deserve this. i know. want some more? -we should go. you take a good beating. thanks. good to be back in the present. -daniel, if you caused your younger you's beating, do you think that your future you caused everything that happened in your past? i don't know. it's giving me a headache. and not a little baby one. a full-blown, adult-sized bangeroo. -guys, look. chadwick's. it's still open! and that's mrs. chadwick. oh, maybe i can go work for her! -this is amazing. i saved a woman's life, and, you, you saved a woman's business. and, you... you did an ice cream thing. but, still, we're the ones causing all of this. we're like gods. -we're like gods! is that really you? oh. i got a completely different outlook on life after you came in. i started thinking you were my guardian ang... -oh! oh, my! is she okay? i-i didn't see her. you know, she just ran out into the middle of the street! -please, call 911! judi forelli? you. how could you let this happen? -wh... yeah! morning, arthur. hey, randy. how's your new partner? -uh, typical eager-beaver rookie. can't wait to clean up the streets and protect and serve. ah, it's such a cute age. aw... can i tempt you with a batch of some fresh maple crèmes? -hmm? ooh! okay, all right. i had to chase him four blocks, but i got him. all right, i'm calling the station. -dispatch, this is officer deluca. be advised... the maple crèmes are fresh. this is what you're doing while i'm out there risking my life? oh, james. some day you're gonna learn the difference between the perps that need chasing and the ones that are just "eh." -really? i hold up a liquor store, and all i get is "eh"? and there's your confession. now just relax, order yourself something. okay. -uh, do you have any cronuts? ooh! oh! what? a cronut. -it's, uh, part donut, part croissant. it's what they call a hybrid. i-i know what a cronuts is, and no, i don't sell them. nor do i sell muffins or duffins or muffnuts. the name of this place is -superior donuts. i sell donuts. my parents did not smuggle me out of communist poland in the hold of a cargo ship so that 65 years later, i could sell you a damn cronut! scone? get out of here. -hi, arthur. hey, maya. whoa! lot of books. yeah. -i'm changing my dissertation to a textual analysis of hetero-normative structures as they relate to the postmodern patriarchy. now, i know what you're thinking... how ironic to be writing about gender roles surrounded by donuts, which... let's face it... are western culture's culinary representation of the vagina. -so what kind of vagina can i get you? arthur, it is only okay when i say it. oh. donut man! i'm here about the job. -what? you got a "help wanted" sign in the window, which you don't need anymore, 'cause i'm here. okay. leave your résumé. i'll call if i'm interested. -mm, i ain't really a résumé guy. but i'll tell you this. i used to work at pete's liquors, till they turned that into a whole foods. and i used to drive a truck for the salvation army till they turned that into an old navy. so you're a small business serial killer, huh? -so what's the pay? minimum wage. health insurance? first aid kit. what about profit sharing? -profit sharing? do you believe in profit sharing? yeah, i believe in it. i don't offer it. you want benefits, why don't you apply at the whole foods? -ugh. i refuse to work for some greedy-ass corporation that's ripping the soul out of the neighborhood i grew up in. they turned you down? bastards! so what would i have to do? -uh, work the counter, brew coffee, make change. you need help with social media? instagram? snapchat? tumblr? -morse code? cave paintings? how old are you, man? i don't need that stuff. this is a donut shop. -i hate to break it you, but this is a donut museum. it happens to be my slow time of day. it's 8:00 a.m. in a place that serves breakfast. in a city full of fat people. you got, like, one customer here, man! -you have a point? this place could be a gold mine, you know? it's authentic. people love that. just remind the world that you're here. -maybe put a chalkboard outside with a "donut of the day" on it. you know, eventually, the chalkboard's gonna get stolen, but that's fine. that's cool. it gets the people talking. "yo, yo, you heard somebody stole the chalkboard from the donut shop?" -"wait, wait. back up. we got a donut shop? i want a donut!" now everybody talk about donuts, man! -bam! you realize this is a job interview, right? yeah. how am i doing? actually, not bad. -arthur, i'm celebrating! donuts for everyone! who was already in the room when i made the offer. fawz, why are you in such a good mood? the american dream, my friend. -i'm living it! for years, i'm buying buildings in this dung-heap neighborhood. and now starbucks is opening. rents will rise, and i will be rich! i'm gonna have money coming into my ass! -great. jack up the rent so i got to move down to south side and dodge bullets every time i go to the store. who is this black guy? actually, i go by franco. only my friends call me "black guy." -what? i'm not allowed to say you're black? i'm not allowed to call black people black people? it's cool, man. no reason to blow up. -ah, terrorist joke. a first for me. so, arthur, have you considered my offer? sorry, fawz, i'm not selling the shop. arthur, give it up! -fancy people are moving to uptown, and they don't want donuts. they want to drink kale smoothies and not vaccinate their children. maya: i'm afraid fawz is right. uptown is being gentrified. -low-income families and small businesses are being pushed out by soulless chains and condominiums for rich white people. uh, aren't you a rich white person? yes, and i have to live with that every day of my life. so, arthur, what do you say? i give you good price. -just give me a couple of days to think about it. no, you don't have to think about it, man. 'cause you can't sell this place. it's the heart of this neighborhood. i remember when i was six, my dad came back home with a box of superior donuts. -we sat out on the porch all night, eating donuts, watching them put up christmas lights on the crack house across the street. damn, they worked fast! your point? my point is this neighborhood is our home. and those people moving in... -they're not coming to join us. they're coming to push us out. and you got to push back, man. you built something here, and it deserves to live on. who the hell is this guy? -yeah, who the hell are you? franco wicks. he's franco wicks. he works here. mark my words, arthur. -you will rue the day you said no to me! ooh, that sounds a little terrorist-y. sorry about that. have a nice day. you will not regret this, man. -i'm gonna help you bring this place into the 20th century. oh, you mean the 21st. no, i don't. what the hell you doing here so early? did we discuss you painting my shop? -i'm a self-starter, man. you like the color? it's called "ancient ivory." like you. your jukebox ate my quarter. -that thing hasn't worked for years. oh, well, i was trying to find some biggie smalls, and all they had was little richard. the next time you think of painting, ask first, okay? actually, you're doing a pretty good job. that's because i'm an artist. -really? oil? water color? i'm more of a street artist. oh, graffiti, which is illegal. -yeah. yeah, yeah. it's not graffiti. it's social commentary. why is it like when a white dude like banksy does it, it's great art, but when a black dude does it, it's graffiti? -are you a racist? not yet. well, basquiat started as a street artist, so i suppose you're in good company. basquiat? donut man knows his art history. -i'm shocked. just because i own a donut shop, i can't like art? i watch documentaries. i got netflix. hey. -are you being robbed? with this? i've seen it. no, no, he works here. yeah, i work here, fat bruce willis. -i've seen it. name's carl tushinski. people call me "tush." 'cause i got one you can bounce a quarter off of. he's my most loyal customer. -yeah, he used to come in here every morning before his shift at the john deere factory. then he kept coming in when the plant went belly-up. best thing that ever happened to me. now i work when i want "where i want. -it's called the "gig economy"" i deliver pizzas, walk dogs, do some modeling. mostly print. i've done a hell of a lot of "before" pictures. you know, this place is kind of like my office. -oh. ew. is that a fax machine? yup. does everything your smart phone does, but i found mine on a curb. -so, arthur? i got to make some donuts. i know, but i have some ideas about boosting business. all right? let's get some free wi-fi in this place. -or we can pass out some flyers at the weed dispensary. oh! or make this the weed dispensary! are you married to donuts? i'm just playing, man. -what's your marketing budget like? i can totally amaze you with $1,000. why don't you mildly surprise me with $50? mm, i get it... you ain't got that kind of money. no, i got it... in my emergency fund. -good luck. he hasn't touched that in 30 years. well, you should, because this is an emergency. if you don't do something, starbucks gonna put you out of business. come on, i can save you. -save me? who are you... black jesus? okay, first of all, that's redundant. i'm gonna give you, uh, $200. -thank you. i don't want thanks. i want customers. gig coming in! huh. -hospital needs a fluid donor. wonder if it's blood or sperm. last time, i guessed wrong, and they were not happy. aah, starbucks. just opened. -there's already a line out the door. which is a good thing. they will get sick of waiting, so i have a plan to entice them over here. sweatpants! this is my friend sweatpants. -he's gonna stand outside and pass out flyers and look delicious. and i'm gonna post this video on our new instagram account. all right, sweatpants, say your line. who wants to go nuts for donuts? all right, sweatpants, make us proud. -and, look, don't go north on foster avenue. some of those sprinkles are gang colors. you really think that's gonna work? absolutely. i also lined up a poetry slam for tonight, and i posted a bunch of dope-ass yelp reviews. -dope-ass... that's good, right? dope-ass is good. trust me, arthur. this is going to be your biggest day in years. yeah, well, that would be nice. -wish you had seen this place in its heyday. the factory was doing three shifts a day, people were having breakfast all around the clock. that's cool. yeah, this place was stacked. the jukebox was working. -yeah? the air was thick with the smell of donuts and cigarettes. wonder where those people are today. probably dead from all the donuts and cigarettes. just saying, you can't give someone a ticket for being annoying. -i can, and i did. fine, but i'm not paying it. hey, arthur, i just got a flyer from a giant donut named jockstrap? actually, uh, his name is sweatpants, and i'm franco. nice to meet you, franco. -what's up? i'm randy deluca. i've known randy since she was a kid. dad was a stubborn s.o.b. he cheated at bowling and never once left a tip. -yeah, he started bringing me here when i was a little girl. we'd come after school, after church, after cubs games. i was kind of a porker. you look pretty good now. well, -i don't know if i should be flattered or drug test you. be flattered. or else wait three days. hey, where'd that come from? oh, i painted it. -let me show you. oh! i must really trust you. i just turned my back on a chicago cop. i'm not gonna shoot you. -i got my body cam on. i call this arthur in the sky with donuts. my new employee's got talent, don't you think? mm-hmm. you like this, arthur? -yeah. you ought to think about going to art school. wait a minute, why am i so dark? that's because i repurposed one of my old paintings. oh. -this place is so retro. those yelp reviews were right. yeah. oh, looks like our marketing campaign is paying off. good job, kid. -mm. welcome to superior donuts. may we interest you in one of our artisanal confections, handcrafted by our in-house donut-eer? eh, i'm trying to stay away from dairy. then let me move this creamer. -do you have anything soy-based? no, everything here is food-based. can i interest you in my, uh, famous maple crèmes? no, thanks. i'll have a grande mocha macchiato. -we only sell coffee. isn't that coffee? no, that's italian for "overcharge me, i'm a pretentious millennial." let's get out of here. all right, learning curve. -um, all we got to do is adapt to our new customer base. you know, let me, you know, whip up some new flavors, like sriracha or nutter butter. that is my department. i do the donuts. uh, gig coming in. -well, guess who's going to be the assailant at a women's self-defense class. i hope they give me a cup this time. look at all those people, hmm? not one of 'em wants a freaking donut. screw you, starbucks! -and quit giving me that smug look! stupid mermaid. all right, so it's a rough day. yeah. but don't worry. -your regulars are gonna stand by you. hello, my fellow americans! did you go to starbucks? not cool, fawz. what? -i have a weak spot for the caramel frappuccino. growing up in the marshes of iraq, all we had to drink was... actually, we had these. starbucks is everywhere. that's something we could try, you know, get an espresso machine and make those fancy drinks. -you mean spend more money? no. arthur, today, you not have so many customers. tomorrow will be worse. sell to me. -sell to me right now! i apologize. this is my fourth coffee drink of the day. i'm very just... whew. -all right, fawz, how much money we talking about? no, arthur, you can't sell the shop! hey, stop telling me what to do. i gave you a chance. your ideas didn't work. -not the painting, not the flyers, not the chalkboard. which has already been stolen. that's it. i'm calling it. no, you said we could stay open late! -we still have the poetry reading. roses are red, no, we don't. you're making it really hard for me to help you here. well, i don't need your help! i got the best damn donuts in chicago. -i agree. so where are the customers? huh? you don't think you scared 'em off 'cause you're too cranky and stubborn and stuck in the past? who are you to come in here and talk to me like that, huh? -you come in here and tell me how to run my business? you can't even keep a job. and you're barely holding on to this one. okay, guys, let's just take it down a notch. well, maybe i don't want to work here. -if you're just gonna roll over and let your business die. that's weak. you calling me weak? yeah. you're afraid to fight for something you poured your whole life into. -at least go down swinging. you try or you die. well, try this. you're fired. oh. -what's up, franco? move, man. hey. where's he going? it's time for me to get my poetry on! -you're the poet? yep. aw, damn. should've said, "you know it." ugh! -i hate this neighborhood! it actually makes me miss iraq. except for the mustard gas. and the torture. and the traffic on ramadan. -it's just... what's going on, fawz? follow me. last night, someone did the graffiti on the starbucks sign. i don't see it. -look closer. that thing the mermaid is holding? not a coffee cup. oh. yeah. -and it no longer says "starbucks," it says "star... " now i see it. yeah. how am i going to get rich when people stand in the way of progress? well, i've called the police. -they said whoever did this is going to jail. actually, i think i know who did it. the black guy? fawz, you can't keep saying that! it would be like you calling me the jew. -oh, my god, you call me that, don't you? i'm not so good with names! hey, arthur. any chance you remember the color of franco's backpack? -no, how would i... brown. actually, more of a chestnut. i remember, because it's the same shade as his soulful eyes. oh, right, i'm the only one who got lost in those things. -nope. me, too. why are you asking me about franco's backpack? james is over talking to the starbucks manager. he got a glimpse of the person who spray-painted his sign, and he was wearing a brown backpack. -oh, no. yeah. it gets worse. apparently, franco's got priors. nothing serious. -all graffiti-related. but he could be looking at doing jail time. why you telling me? kid doesn't work here anymore. well, he might need a character witness. -i thought you could vouch for him. why would i do that? for one thing, he risked going to jail to get back at your competition. randy: you know why you're mad, don't you? -the kid got your hopes up. yeah, and for what? it didn't work out, did it? there goes 200 bucks. and 47 years. -oh, arthur, i wish my dad was still here. he'd put his arm around you, look into your eyes, and say, "get your head out of your ass!" franco was good for you. you've been just going through the motions since joanie died. yesterday, you had a gleam in your eye. -it was like you finally woke up again. what the hell? when did that start working? franco fixed it. sounds pretty good, doesn't it? -yeah, it does. see? the kid's good for you, arthur. not a very good repairman, but he's good for you. y'all can relax. -i know i'm fired. i just came to get my paycheck. franco, you mind telling us where you were last night around 12:30? i don't know. probably at home. -franco. what? this is mr. patterson from the starbucks. that's it. that's the brown backpack. -please, you call that brown? it looks orange to me. but then again, those self-defense ladies used real pepper spray. i'm sorry, franco, we're gonna have to take you in for questioning. -franco: okay. can i call my mom? can i call my mom? uh, wait. -this is my backpack. you're telling me that's yours? yes, absolutely. you see, it's got my, um... afro pick. and, um, and it's got my... -oregano. patterson: mm-hmm. and my spray paint. which i used to, uh, deface your store. -patterson: this is a load of crap. you're right. it is a load of crap. that i would commit such a, uh, senseless act of vandalism. -but if you would, uh, drop the charges, i have $2,500 here in my, um, emergency fund. be glad to give it to you to cover the damages. are you buying any of this? well, the man said he did it. -you want the money or not? fine. and once again, the white man gets off! hey. i appreciate that, man. -and i'm sorry i got you involved. you shouldn't have wrecked that sign. i know, but i was pissed. i didn't want them putting you out of business. you gave me a job. -and you listened to my ideas. and you said i should go to art school. first time i mentioned art school to my dad, he laughed in my face. what? the man who brought you donuts? -most of the time he was just tearing me down, telling me i was nothing. i remember senior year of high school when i finally stood up to him. i got back home from school and all my stuff was on the street. i caught a dude trying to steal my sweatpants. that's how i met sweatpants. -well, i'm glad you're pursuing your art, but no more vandalism. i can't keep bailing out my employees. you hiring me back? yeah. how's that for ass-dope? -it's dope-ass. thank you, man, i appreciate that. yeah, well, it wouldn't kill me to try some new things around here. you try or you die, right? i'm really feeling the urge to hug you right now. -resist it. all right. yeah. okay. well, i'm gonna pay you back. -damn right. i'm gonna deduct ten percent out of your salary till we're even. sounds fair. can i at least get my oregano back? i'm taking ten percent of that, too. -well, you're gonna need these donuts then, ain't you? huh huh filmi presents a film by maarit lalli imagine we're flies in our next life. -watching ourselves from the ceiling. watching what we're doing. what are you afraid of? ricky? tell me. -talk to me. for once. i don't know which i'm more afraid of; that there's nothing after death or that there's something. i don't think i could deal with all this all over again. -the sixth time i can't let you walk. you'll sneak off. good morning, ira-sofia and luna! how did your day start off?

"which one of dad's plaid shirts is my favorite, the dark blue or the light blue?" -yeah, i wanted to have at least one funny question. well, you didn't. uh, what? what's with you? nothing. -good talk. all right, you dragged it out of me. it's something to do with cindy. what? did you lose the stepladder you use to kiss her? -funny. you know, i've always considered myself a modern man. i believe women's rights are human rights, but today i was getting bullied. you were getting bullied? are you okay? -do i need to step in and talk some sense into this guy? no. cindy chased him away. whoa. i know. -being bullied didn't bother me so much as having my girlfriend stick up for me. it made me feel... less than 'cause cindy's a girl, but it shouldn't have. no, it definitely should have. that is super embarrassing. -just tell me it wasn't in front of people and they don't know you're a heck. i mean, i could tell you that. i don't know. in the past, it's never bothered me to be the kid who has to take a water break during the 50-yard dash or the guy at lunch who can't open his own banana, but i'm having trouble accepting the fact that my girlfriend is stronger than me. -and i don't know what to do about it. i'm thinking i might need to get some of those muscles i've read about. mm. well, it just so happens, i can help you with that. really? -mm-hmm. i'll whip you into shape in no time. we just got to gauge your starting point, so, uh, let's get a banana in here. but seriously, we should get a banana. mom, are you okay? -shh. i'm trying to picture the last place i saw axl's present. and also what it was. okay, but did you get my e-mail? the subject line was, -"super top secret do not open in front of dad." i don't read all your e-mails, sue. you e-mail me a lot. well, i need you to read over these questions before i film you tomorrow. -film me? wait, what exactly are you doing? i thought you were making him a glitter card or glitter cookies. you're so good with glitter. no. -i'm making him a video of people saying nice things about dad. oh, sue, he's gonna hate that. what? no, he's gonna love it. i know he acts like a tough guy, but he's got the squooshiest center. -you didn't see him at "moana." i did. look, i've known your dad for over 20 years. there's no squoosh in there. well, there is definitely gonna be some softening after this video. i can promise you that. -now, i need you to read over these questions. i am counting on you for all the emotional tender stuff. i can't even find the present. how am i supposed to remember why i used to love your dad? okay, got everything you need right here... bench, curls, squats. -but our first exercise notebook toss. brick, you don't got to be writing it. we're gonna be doing it. i thought there was gonna be a learning portion first. i don't need to be a hero. -there's no danger of that. now, let me show you what you're aiming for here. ahhh. oof. huh? -must be a little rusty. i haven't been training. i kind of shut the gun show down after football ended. oh, no. oh, god. -i don't think this floor is level. notice how straight i'm keeping my body. arms parallel. always... maintain proper form. i'll pick those up. -so... how many of those should i do? i remember the time dad took me to play tennis. he got mad 'cause i brought my books, which the veins in his neck start popping out, but... cut. brick, these are supposed to be nice memories. -uh, that is a nice memory. dad and i don't do a lot together. okay, well, it doesn't sound so nice. now i want heartfelt, so step it up. okay, make me feel something. -and... action. here's a fond memory with dad... the time he tried to teach me how to drive. the veins were really popping out of his neck then. brick, stop talking about veins. oh, all right, fine. -sorry. um, let's see. well, one of my best times with dad was when he had me rake leaves. it was funny 'cause i was probably 9 at the time, and i was worried about the leaves being incinerated... cut. -mom, i was finally getting something good out of brick, and you're ruining my shot. i am so close. you can film dad's thing anywhere. shh. i don't want to spoil the surprise. -it's a secret. here's something that's not a secret. dad's gonna hate this video. okay, from other people, he might hate it, but not from me. now, mom, will you please get out of my shot? -i finally had a vein-free story from brick, and you screwed it up. that's actually not true. the end of the story comes around nicely back to veins. brick. yes! -ha-ha! this is it. now i remember. i was at the doughnut shop, and this new store, the giftery, had opened next door. i was in there killing time, when i came across this absolutely perfect... -shoe horn? no, no, no, it's not just a shoe horn. it's the "busy businessman's luxury shoe care kit." oh, yeah, get it? 'cause axl's a business major. -i remember thinking this would be symbolic for when he gets a job. i mean, it's got polish and a little applicator, and it comes in this handy carrying case. yeah, this sucks. ugh, crap. now i got to get him something else. -oh, well, at least i got him a cute card a while ago. okay. so we celebrated mike's birthday just the way he wanted... i defrosted a steak, and he got to read sports illustrated at the table while the rest of us didn't talk. okay. -you can speak. happy birthday, dad. all righty. wait, wait, wait. i got you a present. -you did? what for? i told you i didn't want anything. and that's why i didn't get you anything. you're welcome, dad. -consider father's day forgotten, too. you're a good son. are you seriously gonna argue with me? just take it, you big party pooper. happy birthday. -okay. it is a gift. you open it. mm. the "busy business man's luxury shoe care kit." -ha! that sucks. i love it. did you keep the receipt? no, wait, wait, wait. -i haven't given you my gift yet. but mine isn't something that can be opened. it must be experienced. so if you would all be so kind as to follow me to the family room. leave the magazine. -okay. now if you would all focus your attention to the tv. that i can do. sue sue heck productions proudly presents... good evening. -i'm sue heck. and this is a celebration of michael heck. it all began here in 1963, the year this wonderful man, a man who means so much to the world, was born. i couldn't find a baby picture of you. so what makes a man great? -let's find out, shall we? what do i love about mike? uh, well, obviously, i love him 'cause i married him. and, um, what else? well, he's a great provider. -yeah, i would say he's my rock. happy b to the big m from the big a. wait, that sounds bathroom-y. can i start over? the cool about thing about dad is his hair looks the same wet or dry. -he's... my rock. oh, i said that already? pbht. uh, if dad were a spice, uh, i'd say he's salt. old spice. -is beer a spice? 'cause, if so, i'd say beer. when there's no beer in the house, he gets tense, and this vein... mike, i didn't know it was your birthday. you're just full of secrets, aren't you? -wait. this isn't just family. nope. well, we're gonna have to have you over for dinner. when's good for you? -how's this tuesday? ron! mike's coming over for dinner on tuesday. three words that describe mike? only three? -oh, gosh, that's hard. hero, gentle giant... shoot, that's already three. can i have one more? which mike? i got five mikes. -you talked to my barber? yeah. tall mike... got to put the chair all the way down when he comes in. if mike were a flavor of ice cream, he'd be... vanilla. vanilla. -vanilla, clearly. vanilla. vanilla. show me vanilla! uh, i'm based in the corporate office, so i don't really know mike heck that well, which kind of makes it hard for me to share my favorite, uh, "mike moment." -sue, that's my boss. surprise. my favorite mike moment is, sometimes, when he's getting out of his car, he pretends like he doesn't hear me calling from my yard, and he just walks into his house. hilarious. i have so many mike moments, it's hard to pick. -well, not a lot of people know this, but mike loves cats. one time, i came into the trailer on a break, and mike was watching this video of kittens befriending a bunny rabbit. okay, that's enough. i get the gist. wait, wait, wait. -no, no, no. uh, there's, like, 15 more minutes left. brad does a special poem, and the bagger at frugal hoosier had a really funny story. you're gonna miss it. yeah, well. -here you go. what do you want me to do with this? well, the shoe kit's looking better. what is the matter with you? i'm sorry. -i just don't like people making a big deal over me or talking about me or thinking about me. now i got to get a new barber, and i liked this guy, too. i'd just gotten him to stop making small talk. okay, i know i'm married to a man with the emotional capacity of a garden gnome, so i'm used to the disappointment. but sue isn't. -she's really hurting. ah, she didn't look that upset. because she was pretending everything was okay for your sake, which is what you should have been doing for her. oh, you're just being dramatic. she's fine. -and just to be clear, that kitten video... that just popped up when i was researching granite prices, so we're not gonna go sharing that with anybody. so mike was positive that sue was fine, but after having a little time to think it over... sue. yeah? sorry. -okay. what are you doing? nothing, nothing. just admiring the view. how are those workouts coming? -well, i know i need to get in shape, so i did the only thing that made sense to me. i went to the library and checked out a book. jack lalanne's "live young forever." oh, okay. what's he doing now? -he's dead. but before that, he was really cool. he could lift all these heavy things. he once pulled 70 boats. my goal is 15. -that should be enough to impress cindy. look, brick, you don't need a book. you got me as your trainer. no offense, axl, but things weren't really going that well in the garage. it's been two days, and i think i might have actually lost muscle mass. -that's just all part of the workout program i've created specifically for your body. right now you're like a lump of clay, but you give me some time, i'm gonna mold you into a work of fine art. it's like the statue of david. -you think michael and angelo sculpted that thing overnight? no. took those guys years. yeah... i just don't think someone who's on the decline physically should be teaching me. -whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. decline? decli... wha...? who said i'm declining? i'm not declining. -look, it's perfectly natural. in my research, i found that men hit their physical peak at age 25, then slowly decline. you're just a little ahead of schedule. from here on out, you're pretty much just gonna atrophy. -got enough trophies, brick. and, yeah, maybe i let myself go a little bit, but i just got to do a few pushups, i'll be back in shape like that. ow, cramp. come on. -where are we going? ice cream. let's go. no, thanks. my treat. -you're gonna want to be there. i'm thinking of ordering something besides vanilla. it's all right. i'm not hungry. the next day, axl was still bugged by what brick said. -i mean, if jack lalanne could pull 70 boats, surely there's something he could do. you're a man. you're a man. you're a big, strong man. aah! -i don't want to talk about it, brick. we're never mentioning this ever again. no one needs to know i only moved the 'bago two feet. you didn't move it at all. -you're mean. this isn't fair. used to be, i was feeling weak, i'd just do a couple of pushups and get my strength right back, but, my god, what is happening to me? you think it was all those froot loop sandwiches? -oh, god. froot loop sandwiches. don't look at my big butt. axl, get a hold of yourself. i got rescued by my girlfriend, and even i'm embarrassed for you. -look, i'm about to graduate. pretty soon, i'm gonna be sitting at a desk all day doing whatever it is i'm supposed to be doing, and i'm just gonna decay. i am one step closer to becoming mom and dad. hey, there's a silver lining in this. yes, men peak physically in their mid-20s, but they don't peak mentally till age 35. -you're still in the upswing. mental's never really been my strong suit. well, it just so happens i can help you with that. really? yep. -by the time i'm done with you, your brain is gonna be ripped. now, let's start with pbs. ugh. this is gonna be so hard. got to put in the work. -oh, and by the way, michael and angelo... one guy. what? i hope it's okay i'm driving you back to school. mom was gonna, but she's busy, and i got nothing going on. -it's fine. thank you. what? you know, for the, uh, whole video thing. that was nice. -okay. i don't get it. i said, "thank you," i said, "i'm sorry," i said, "ice cream," and nothing's sticking. -i'm trying, but i'm not getting any traction here. it's like i'm talking to your mom. it's all right, dad. i'm really not that upset. i know that's just how you are. -look, growing up in my family, we didn't, you know, talk or, you know, express things on birthdays or holidays or... even when my mom died, i came home from basketball practice one day, and my dad said, "your mom passed." then he told me to go do my homework. the next morning, i went to school. -we never talked about it again. really? oh, my gosh, that's horrible. it's just the way it was. well, you're not like that, you know. -i mean, you're way better than grandpa. when i try to hug him, he just says, "oh, you don't want to hug an old man." but you tolerate my hugs all the time. well, he cares about you. -he's just not real comfortable saying it. we all do. care about you. i know. how did she die again? -lung cancer. she was young, just 42. but the way she used to dance around the house, you'd have thought she was 20. she was always singing, always moving. i can still see her at the kitchen sink doing dishes and humming to herself. -when i'd be playing in the kitchen, she'd call me over and scoop some soap suds in her hands and bend down and let me blow the bubbles. aww. i wish i had met her. yeah. well, you'd have liked her. -she was nice. she was a teacher, right? mm-hmm. third grade and then fifth. once, when she was working as a substitute, she actually taught my class. -i was sitting there and in walks my mom. classic. unh-unh, unh-unh. i've been doing a little work on myself. i can get this for m'lady. -okay. actually, that's a little too heavy. yeah. yeah, i've been doing some lifting. weights? -no, books. i started with jack lalanne's "live young forever," but i'm thinking about upgrading to an encyclopedia or maybe even an almanac. _ _ -josh: this is a big day. my boss, howard mankiewicz, was in atlanta for a deposition. he decided to drop in for 24 hours and check in on his protégé. that's me. -obviously, it is very important that my team brings their a-game. hey, dwayne, i'm gonna need an evidence binder for howard. copy that. are you kidding me? you are not wearing a t-shirt that says "guilty." -yeah, i didn't think so, either, but this is how it's spelled. my nephew's school is selling these to raise money for a camping trip. what other sizes do you have? all we got left are smalls. how is that a small? -well, sizes run big in east peck. i'm wearing an 18-to-24 months. even got room for a diaper. dwayne, put something over that. copy that. -back in new york, howard knew me as an associate, but here, i'm running the show. he's more than a boss. he's a mentor. howard: joshua! -howard! wow! what a pleasure to have you here, sir. thank you. well, you're literally surrounded by dead animals here. -i thought that was a figure of speech. no. this is where i work. i want you to meet our team. this is dwayne, our lead investigator. -pleasure to meet you, sir. thank you. my nephew is raising money for a camping trip. i'm guessing you are a toddler long. nope. -and this is anne, our researcher. it's very nice to meet you. well, thank you. what's... what's that for? -she can't recognize faces. i can recognize penises, though. so, it's either a name tag or take off your pants. no, no. no, no. -no, no. nope. honestly, that could've gone much worse. for one thing, pants stayed on. for another... -yeah, that's all i got. so, let's have a closer look at this little case of yours, shall we? ooh, okay. here's our murder board. no, no, no. -guys, guys, guys! guys. anyway, we do have a lot of suspects. number one, rutger hiss, the lead detective, who we discovered was having a relationship with margaret. yeah. -he was boning her good. we don't know if it was good. but, yes, apparently there was some boning. number two, margaret's brother, jeremiah. he may have killed her because she discovered that he stole half of the family business. -and, finally, jeremiah's wife, josie, our third suspect, who's secretly in love with larry, but who, according to her facebook page, is somewhere in the mediterranean with all of jeremiah's money and a boy named stavros. well, considering everything you're up against, i think you're doing a great job. "a great job." i'm not gonna lie, that is the best thing i have ever heard in my life. -and i was engaged. yeah! you know what? i actually think we're in pretty great shape. so, tell me, how did you rule out the cable guy? -how'd i rule out the who now? the cable guy. _ _ i was waiting for the cable guy to show. -did the cable guy ever show up? no, he didn't. as soon as i heard larry's voice on the 911 call, he was the first suspect who came to my mind. obviously, you must have ruled him out, because i don't see his picture up here anywhere on this board. obviously. -! we're awaiting word from wpfk field correspondent eunger chapman, who's standing by outside the salty pecker, where daughter of murderer larry henderson has been spotted eating with none other than prosecutor carol anne keane. chapman: here they come now. ms. henderson, is it true you'll be sitting behind the prosecution's side at the trial? -i haven't decided anything yet. what an inappropriate question. and she refuses to comment on whether she'll be sitting on the side of justice or on the side of the man who brutally murdered her stepmommy. the loss of summer, in a word... devastating. well, normally, if someone hurt me, my dad and i would have a spa day and we'd talk about it. -but... since he's the one that hurt me and he has the spa membership, i am making new friends. shoot. damn thing pulls right. let me try. all right. -hey, now! dating east peck men's really strengthened my shooting arm. you know, you and i have a lot more in common that i realized. oh, how is that exactly? well, you know, the truth is, -i had a pretty bad relationship with my father. really? yeah. he was a drunk, a cheat, and a liar. well, my dad doesn't drink, but... he lies. -apparently, he cheats. hmm. how do you trust someone like that? oh, honey, you don't. no, cutting my dad out of my life was one of the best things i ever did. -oh, shoot. i think i legged a squirrel. oh, god. you know what? yeah, let me take care of that. -okay? i mean, yeah, a week ago, if you would've told me i'd be out shooting guns with carol anne keane, i would've said you were nuts. but, the dad thing, she gets it. -and she's actually really sweet. little guy was a fighter. josh: we'd like to talk to the technician who was dispatched to mr. henderson's house the night of march 1st. right. -the night of the murder. we were expecting you months ago. it was a small oversight. we even sent a bunch of letters. we get so much hate mail, i stopped opening up everything. -we're here now. can you please just tell us the name of the technician who was on call that night so that we can check this box and move on? his name is roger bentman. roger bentman. roger bentman. -roger bentman. roger bentman. that sounds familiar. anyway, i need to ask him a couple of questions and confirm he wasn't at the henderson house that night. well, he doesn't work here anymore. -we haven't seen him for months. but he was at the house that night. says here he got there at 5:50 p.m. oh, no. that was 10 minutes before margaret was murdered. -how did i miss this? well, this is the last of the hate mail. so roger bentman stopped showing up for work the day after margaret was killed. he has two prior arrests and no known address. how do we find him? -we should ask the mailman. he knows everything. somehow, this hate mail found its way here, and all the envelope says is, "to that larry guy what killed the girl." hey, that's my brother-cousin's writin'. -guys, we need to track bentman down. dwayne, do you know anybody at the police department who can help? well, if the guy's done some time, i've got a secret informant on the inside. his name is kirby george. -well, that's no longer a secret, but... sure. in the meantime, oh, god, i'm gonna have to figure out how to spin this to mankiewicz. sometimes, when my boss is mad at me, i just pretend to take a phone call. wait, have you been doing that to me? -hello? wow. this backwater town... unbelievable. i just had a steak for $3.99. -oh, yeah. they screw the tourists. i would've told you to go to dollar days at steak and save. howard, can we talk in my office? are you ready to tell me that you never followed up with the cable guy? -josh, it's for you. ladies and gentlemen of the jury. i stand before you today to paint a gruesome portrait of a man whose life was built on lies, blood, broken glass, murdered wives. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. and then i point to you. -this doesn't feel right. well... you know, a lot of things don't feel right that you get used to. like bras. or a guy sticking his tongue in your ear. right? -sorry. one second. oh, shoot. well, that is my father. he calls me twice a year to ask for money like clockwork. -you know what? i'm just gonna take this in the other room. i don't want you seeing me acting unladylike. but, remember... it's an ear. -it... okay? is she gone? how did you find me? i follow carol anne keane on instagram. -she posted a picture of you two here, #besties, along with a very gruesome picture of a dead squirrel. i gave it a courtesy like. i don't want to talk to you, dad. or should i say... no, i guess it's still dad. -i'm sorry i lied to you, but i didn't want you to know i'd had an affair. you also told me i was two years younger than i really am! well, you've never lied? those three beers i found in your trunk after graduation really belonged to your friend theresa? well, it turns out i was actually 21, so i guess it doesn't matter! -oh, you are such a hypocrite! all these years, you asked me about your birth parents. i finally tell you, and you completely flip out on me! josh, i tried talking to summer. did not go well. -just give her some space. i'll figure something out. of course you will. what do you say you come over for dinner? i could use a guy's night. -i'll make eggplant parmigiana, and i still have "notting hill" on that disc from netflix. sounds good. i'll be over at 6:00. joshua, quick sidebar. mm. -okay. 30,000-foot view of this thing... you are blurring the line between lawyer and friend. oh, i don't see that. look, a lawyer has to keep a certain professional distance. you don't want your judgement being clouded by emotion. -trust me, we have a very professional relationship. it might run late tonight, so bring pajamas. you can leave them in your drawer. ooh, and by the way, i gave you a drawer. okay, yeah, now i see what you were talking about. -the trail to find roger bentman has gone cold. fortunately, he did some time at the peck county jail, where i've made contact with my secret informant, kirby george. that's kirby with a "k." hopefully, kirby will help us find some clues as to roger bentman's whereabouts. unfortunately, in order to get my informant to talk, -i'm gonna have to smuggle in some contraband. i need information on roger bentman. i know he did some time here. hold on. do you have that pain reliever that i asked you for? -yep. just need to wait for it to pass. what do you mean, pass? i'm no dummy. i put 100 aspirin in a condom and i swallowed it. -anne taught me how to choke down whole grapes to get used to the size. hi. i'm anne. we're allowed to have aspirin here. seriously? -yeah. you could've just handed it to me. or you could've just handed it to me $5 so i could go buy it at the canteen. dwayne, give him the $5.00. well, if he doesn't want the aspirin, he's really not gonna want the $5. -don't tell me they allow combs in here, too. what do you know about roger bentman? i remember one thing. he was big into pigeons. dwayne, that's our clue. -oh, man. i'm packed like a sardine can up in here! mankiewicz has a point. a little distance from my client might be healthy. at the end of the day, larry's an adult. -thankfully, this is the end of the day. josh: listen, i've got to cancel tonight. oh, no! everything okay? -oh, yeah. yeah, but i have a work thing. howard: boobie, let's go. i'm starving. -come on. i got to go. i'll see you tomorrow. josh? boobie? -well, that's fine. mankiewicz is his boss. that's gonna look bad, isn't it? josh: larry? -larry? larry: i'm in here. well, well, well. look who decided to show up. -you sent me an urgent text saying you had new evidence. yeah, i do. it's right here. okay. let's put down the fancy blended drink. -what's going on? everyone i care about is leaving me. do you remember the name roger bentman? bentman. nope. -doesn't ring a bell. you were fixated on his name a month ago, and i figured out why. do you remember the cable guy who never showed up? that's roger bentman. and it turns out he did show up... 10 minutes before margaret was murdered! -oh, my god! and you're just putting this together now? it slipped through the cracks, okay? but with the help of mankiewicz... mankiewicz! -well, i have a pocketful of evidence for that guy! larry, you should be happy. he's really helping me on your case. what happened to the kitchen window? cheese. -i'm here with assistant district attorney carol anne keane and gal pal summer henderson. thank you, heidi. it is so good to be here. i wouldn't say "gal pal." oh, we have a caller. -defense attorney josh segal. welcome to the show, josh. josh: thank you for taking my call, heidi. so... -okay. i'm watching the show. that's a picture of woody allen. that's very offensive. oh, i'm sorry. -producers, can you put that down, please? thank you. thank you. i just want to say, heidi, that i am well aware that summer's father hurt her, but ms. keane doesn't care about that. she's playing you, summer. -mr. segal has no idea of our bond. he has never worn a bra. also, he has no idea what it's like to have a father you can't trust. she has no relationship with her dad. i think we've heard enough. -heidi: coming up, we'll continue to speculate as this story... have you seen my comb? josh: -okay, well, we got a couple new leads on roger bentman. anne and dwayne found something out from their informant. roger bentman is a giant pigeon guy. he raises pigeons, and there is a huge pigeon coop on the roof of the east peck florist. i know about that because i parked there last week, and wow, my car got destroyed. -i love these small-town cases. it's like doing the crossword puzzle in the tv guide. yep. impossible to crack. okay, we're gonna head to the pigeon coop. -but first, i'm gonna go call larry. boobie. i know, but i'm concerned about him. he had a really rough night last night. he was... drinking and he was pulling middle fingers out of his pocket. -you're right. boundaries. listen to me. you're a good lawyer. i'm a good lawyer. -and when this thing is all over, you're gonna be a great lawyer, whether you win or lose. that's why i let you stay down here. well, obviously, i want to win. obviously. but in the event you should happen to lose, best to do it in a place like this, in the middle of nowhere, where nobody important's gonna care. -howard, i'm gonna care. and larry's gonna care. i mean, the death penalty here is carried out by a bear. that's why we don't get emotionally involved. you're gonna figure it all out. -real pleasure meeting you all. take care. nice guy. big comb. as good as it was having mankiewicz here, -i'm relieved he's going back to new york. sure, he helped lead us to bentman, but it's not like i wouldn't have figured that out eventually. besides, this is my case. i need to be in the driver's seat. -like, literally, because i'm driving him to the airport. but when i get back, this case... all mine. howard! please! josh? -josh? bentman. pigeons? florist? bentman. -roger: hey, you guys. oh, yeah. i'll bet you're all hungry. here you go, guys. -a little din-din. bentman. larry henderson. well, it took you long enough. i figured someone from your team would've tracked me down months ago. -you were at my house that night. okay, look, i know what you're thinking. why the hell didn't you fix my cable? ! well, let's hope bentman's here. -whoa. easy there. calm down. calm down? you were there! -tell me what you saw that night! start talking! okay. i... aaah! -aaah! there he is. oh, larry. aah! so with roger bentman dead we lost access to the only person who possibly knew what happened at the henderson house the night of the murder. -the good news is, we had our film crew there, which proves that larry was not directly responsible for turning roger bentman into a stain on the sidewalk. our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire bentman family, and we are... c-can we send them something? dwayne, can you handle that? i think that aspirin balloon's making a run for it. -i'm gonna send them a danish. larry: my life is so full of holes. i have the margaret hole, the cheese hole, and the hole that summer has left in my heart. oh, larry, as much as i wish i could fill all your holes... -nope. heard it. could we cut that out? i will do whatever i can to help you win this case. oh, i know you will, josh. -but how am i gonna live my life after all this is over? you know, the good news is, it's a very small town. worst-case scenario, you start over someplace else where no one's heard the name larry henderson. get ready to hear the name larry henderson a lot. the rollercising poetry professor is the defendant in a small-town murder trial involving a bludgeoned wife, a cop in a coma, a severed arm, and now, a cable repairman who plunged to his death. -you might remember the tiny town of east peck, south carolina, form a 2005 e. coli outbreak that started in a local restaurant called steak and save. _ wow. all these people are here just for a trial date setting? we made national news. -it's only gonna get worse after the trial starts. but we got this. have you seen summer? uh, not yet. but, you know, there's a lot of people. -no. i'm not nervous about the national media exposure because on my side, i have truth, justice, and the murderer's daughter. that is the real east peck trifecta. oh, there she is. oh, she's so beautiful. -just like her mother. i found this outside my door this morning. it's a picture of carol anne keane and the horrible father that she hates at a father-daughter dance in raleigh, north carolina... last week. i went from being so angry that she lied to me to... actually being jealous that she had this great relationship with her dad. and then someone reminded me... so do i. -that was me. thank you. hi, i'm anne. yeah. i know. -mankiewicz definitely has more experience trying murders, but no one has more experience with larry henderson than i do. and that's why i'm the right guy to win this case. you're a good lawyer. thanks, larry. and a great friend. -i'm a great friend. howard, what are you doing back here? this case has just gone national. relax, boobie. i'm taking over. -a series of unfortunate events - starring neil patrick harris patrick warburton malina weissman louis hynes k. todd freeman -presley smith a series of unfortunate events - director of photography bernard couture producer neil patrick harris based on the book series by lemony snicket teleplay by daniel handler a.k.a. lemony snicket directed by barry sonnenfeld the wide window: -part one for beatrice - for beatrice - i would much prefer it for beatrice - i would much prefer it if you were alive and well. good evening, and welcome to lachrymose news, where things that are happening keep happening until they stop. -not unlike the plight of the baudelaire orphans, whom, viewers will recall, lost their parents and their home in a terrible fire. with the latest update on their dire plight is our co-anchor vincent fig demetrios. vincent? thanks, veronica. viewers will recall that following the fire, the baudelaires were sent to live with count olaf, a villainous actor and an active villain who has vowed repeatedly that he will stop at nothing to get his hands on the enormous fortune -the baudelaire parents left behind. let's hope so, vincent. coming up next, some very nice people were poisoned. but first, the weather. if the story of the baudelaire orphans were a weather report, there would be hardly any sunshine to be seen. -instead, there would be cloudbursts of unhappiness. blizzards of despair. misery in the form of sleet storms. various cold fronts of terror. horror. -attacks of allergies. not to mention the threat of a devastating hurricane lurking just off the map. if you didn't know about the baudelaire orphans' unfortunate history and you saw them disembark from the fickle ferry and arrive at damocles dock, you might think they were bound for an exciting adventure. here we are, baudelaires. deemo... -but you would be dead wrong. dimmo... my name is lemony snicket. dudy damo... it's my sad duty... -democlay... to tell the tale of the baudelaires' tragic lives. dimoclath... but you likely have no such responsibilities... dimoclat... and should escape from this sad story... -demcaca... before another storm of melancholy engulfs you in dampness and misery. dock. it's pronounced damocles. -after the probably apocryphal figure in sicilian mythology. well, i don't have time to learn things. the banking day has already begun. in any case, i'm sure you'll be off on some exciting adventure with your new guardian. remember, you can always rely on us at mulctuary money management. -now, if you'll excuse me, i will leave you alone on this mostly deserted dock to await for your taxi to your aunt josephine's house. she's not meeting us here? strangely, she said she'd be unable to come to the dock, and i didn't think it polite to ask why. perhaps she's planning a surprise party for you children. -which reminds me, i know you've had a frightening and mystifying time with that horrible man, what, um, count... what's his name? um... olaf. -olaf. who knows where he came from? you put us in his care. i wouldn't exactly call it care. he's a thief and a murderer, and so far has completely escaped capture. -but i have the thing that just might turn things around. peppermints! delicious peppermints! my second favorite candy when i was a boy. you can eat them in the taxi on the way to meet your dowager aunt. -what's that? oh, violet, i'm surprised at you. a girl your age should know that a taxi is a car that takes you someplace for a reasonable fee. and this should just about cover it. cheers, baudelaires! -good luck. "dowager" is a fancy word for widow. thank you. should we have told him we're allergic to peppermints? it didn't seem worth mentioning. -we have a lot more important things on our minds. like asking aunt josephine if she can help explain all the strange and mysterious things that keep happening to us. and how to get a taxi. does anyone need a ride somewhere for a reasonable fee? this town doesn't seem very crowded. -it's the off-season. when the weather's nice, this town is as crowded as can be. but around now, things are as dead as the cat i ran over this morning. hold on. i hope your aunt josephine has enough food and supplies when hurricane herman arrives. -it's supposed to be a doozy. i'm gonna sit it out in a cabin with the works of herman melville and a large pot of vegetarian chili. i thought hurricanes only occurred near oceans. with a body of water as large as lake lachrymose, anything can happen. you know, what's interesting is the storms in herman melville's work are more metaphorical, or even allegorical, rather than the naturalistic style of someone like thoreau, if you know what i mean. -the shore represents our tenuous hold on the earthly nature of mortal existence, and the turbulent waters represent the villainy and troubles in our own lives. like a threatening rowboat getting closer and closer with each passing moment. solitude. blissful contemplation of my inward eye. only when i am alone can i court the muse and dream up the next step in my glorious scheme. -and what is the next step, boss? brute force? no, no. i need something worthy of this grandiose locale. something dashing, something romantic. -you know, in many ways, i am married to the sea. this is actually a large lake. i am married to the sea, but my girlfriend is a large lake. land ho! i told you to stop calling me that. -i'd say to him, "lay off the big white whale for a few days. see how you feel. take a vacation. rest your leg." wow! -your aunt must be a remarkable lady to live all the way up here by herself. we've been told aunt josephine is fierce and formidable. she must be. good luck! thank you. -i hope she really can answer all of our questions. there's so much we don't know. it's like we're standing on the edge of a precipice with no idea what lies below. in fact, it was exactly like that. although i do know what lies below, which is a 300-foot drop into the freezing waters of lake lachrymose. -still, standing on a precipice is better than slipping on a precipice, or falling over a precipice. so, before things get worse, i would advise that you take note of the three words the baudelaires were about to find on aunt josephine's front door. "please go away." don't knock. -you might get splinters. this door is made of wood, which is teeming with tiny shards, which in turn is teeming with infection. you must never knock. i'm sorry. i'm sure you're right about all of that. -we're looking for our aunt josephine. i'm violet baudelaire, and these are my siblings... klaus and sunny, of course, of course. come in. come in! -the doorbell didn't appear to be working. it's disconnected. there is the danger of electrocution. and be careful not to bump into the phone. i've read quite a bit about electricity, and i'm reasonably certain that doorbells and telephones are safe. -not if you have a faulty pacemaker. does someone here have a faulty pacemaker? no, but you can never be too careful. oh boy. do you live with our aunt josephine? -i am your aunt josephine. you are? yes, of course. are you sure? of course i'm sure. -although, i prefer the word "certain." follow me. but mind the rug. you might trip and break your necks. fierce aunt josephine. formidable aunt josephine. -crazy aunt josephine. "delmo"? what do you mean by "delmo"? i consider myself an expert on the english language, and i have no idea what the word "delmo" means. sunny doesn't speak fluently yet. -just baby talk, mostly. well, you have arrived just in time. i know you've seen many unusual things. yes, we have. and you must have many questions. -yes, we do. in my library, you will find all the answers that you need. are you ready? we're ready. then open the door. -ah! just... just push on the wood. the knob could shatter into a million pieces and hit your eyes! lake lachrymose. i know every island in its waters and every cave along its shores. -but now i can only stand to look at it from far away. that's why i couldn't meet you on the docks. i'm too haunted by the past. does this have anything to do with our parents? certainly not. -it has to do with my husband... ike. he was my best friend, my partner, and one of the few people i knew who could whistle with crackers in his mouth. his specialty was beethoven's fourth string quartet. our mother could do that. -her specialty was mozart's 14th symphony. yeah, that's right. we were all friends, your parents and ike and me. we used to gather on these shores for picnics and to develop our own secret codes. our parents developed secret codes? -i'll never forget our last picnic. i warned ike to wait an hour after eating before going into the lake, but he only waited 45 minutes. did he get cramps? that's what's supposed to happen if you don't wait an hour before you swim. -cramps are one reason, but in lake lachrymose, there's another. part of the lake is a breeding ground ñúëçëèâîòîîòî lachrymose leeches, which are quite different from regular leeches. they each have six rows of very sharp teeth and one very sharp nose that can smell the tiniest bit of food from far, far away. the lachrymose leeches are usually quite harmless, but if they smell food on a human, they will start to swarm around him and... i apologize, children. -it is grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with the word "and," but i get so upset when i think about ike. we're sorry we asked about him. we didn't mean to upset you. aunt josephine, you said you had answers for us. -yes! thank you for reminding me. as soon as sunny said, i knew you were missing some crucial information. sunny? -what did she say? don't you remember, klaus? she said "delmo," and that's when i knew what i had to impart. the key to making sense to this... -this confusing and terrifying world. perhaps you're too young. we can handle it. we can handle anything. grammar. -grammar? grammar. since i lost ike, i have devoted my life to the study of it. here is a complete history of nouns. oh! -and there is an explicitly illustrated encyclopedia of verbs. i am so happy to have three young new charges to learn everything, from the oxford comma to the wesleyan semicolon. grammar. grammar! it's the greatest joy in life, don't you find? -aunt josephine, what does grammar have to do with developing secret codes? uh, you used the wrong tense, klaus. it's a common grammatical error. you should have said, "what did grammar have to do with developing secret codes?" -what did grammar have to do... absolutely nothing. it's the clock. lunch time. how does soup sound? -soup sounds wonderful. uh, cold soup. oh, yes. i never cook anything hot. i'm afraid to turn on the stove. -it... it might burst into flames. this is chilled cucumber soup. it's a recipe that i learned in egypt, where i was briefly employed as a snake charmer. our father lived in egypt before we were born. is that when you... -i don't talk about that. when we were living with uncle monty... i said i don't talk about that. but there was a statue... klaus, i said i don't talk about that. -you don't talk about that? or you won't? this is one of those rare grammatical instances where "don't" and "won't" mean the same thing. i knew your parents a long time ago, when things were very different. those were fierce and formidable days. -but i don't talk about that, and you won't hear about that. i shouldn't have to tell you orphans there are many, many things to be afraid of in this world. the safest strategy is to be afraid of them all. get her help. i like to think of happier things. -the joys of grammar and how much ike loved the sunshine. i like to imagine that where he is now, the weather is just as lovely and sunny as can be. of course, nobody knows what happens to you when you die, but i like to think that my husband is somewhere hot. aunt josephine, have you ever thought about moving somewhere else? maybe if you lived far away from lake lachrymose, -you might feel better. we'd go with you. maybe then you'd feel comfortable enough to discuss some of the things you don't and won't discuss. i could never sell this house. i'm afraid of real estate agents. -i'm sure you know there are two kinds of fears: rational and irrational. or, in simpler terms, fears that make sense and fears that don't. for instance, the baudelaire orphans had a fear of count olaf, which makes perfect sense because he is an evil man who wants to destroy them. but if they were afraid of lemon meringue pie, that would be an irrational fear because lemon meringue pie is delicious and has never hurt a soul. -being afraid of hurricanes is perfectly rational because they can be quite sinister and destructive. but a fear of real estate agents, a term which here means "people who assist in the buying and selling of houses," would be an irrational fear because nothing sinister has ever come from the real estate market. count olaf. -i didn't think i'd see you again after all that unpleasantness with mr. snicket. what are you doing here? it's the off-season. thanks to a helpful real estate agent, this restaurant is under new management. new management? -don't make me laugh. you're not laughing. neither are you. the baudelaires are safe and sound and learning everything they need to know about our secret organization. -oh? they should've begun their training years ago, but it's not too late. rats! their new guardian is the most fierce and formidable member of our organization. wait, not snicket? -what? no. isn't he dead? is he? it doesn't matter. -all your silly codes and obscure literary references can't save you. oh? the baudelaire children will be destroyed, and their fortune will be mine. -rats! you and your ridiculous comrades will be swept away. we'll see about that. yes, we will. that's what i'm saying. -cadogan learned how to survive from his father. they hunted in these woods. this is it. well, if anyone's entitled to a lucky break, we are. jaha: -you hear that? no insects. what? luna said the fish were dying. what are the things that eat the fish and bugs gonna eat now? -what happened to us deserving a lucky break? so what are we looking for? the bunker would have been at the lowest point. anything structural. be careful. -she's lucky to have you. leadership is a lonely pursuit, but you... you keep her centered. you got it backwards. still blaming yourself for killing that army. you made mistakes... it's true... but your intentions were pure. -every choice you made, you made to save your people... even shooting me twice. as long as that's the truth, you don't need redemption. you better hope so. what's that? well, if you're wrong and there is a hell, then i guess i'll see you there. -how many people do you have to save before you forgive yourself? clarke: over here. stay behind me. watch your head. -ok. "from the ashes, we will rise." not this guy. the 11th seal. their faith was based on 12 seals. -followers could level up by unlocking them one at a time. only those who reached level 12 could achieve salvation. clarke: maybe that's why they didn't let him in. i was right. -what if they're still in here? hey! is anyone there? it's still sealed. there's no locks, no handles. -that's because it was designed to be opened from inside. or from the outside by somebody with a rover. clarke: what happened? bellamy: -let's go find out. it worked. this can't be. it wasn't sealed. the radiation would have killed them in days. -this won't save anyone. leave us. he was one of the looters. you were wrong about the flamekeeper. and the flame? -destroyed before i could kill him. i'm sorry. it'll be more dangerous now. more people will have to die to keep me in power, not that that bothers you, skairipa. -people fell in line behind the flame. now they'll fall in line behind the sword. let's hope clarke finds a way to save us before they have to. get out. oh, finally. -emori. john, what's wrong? it looks like we may need my people, after all. there's a storm coming. when it hits, we need to be on the right side of that door. -so we make ourselves useful. yeah. yeah, exactly. i've already started working on abby. come on. -i'll explain on the way. if i'm on that list, you're on that list. bellamy, i can't. write it down. write it down, or i will. -so what now? now we put it away and hope we never have to use it. you still have hope? we still breathing? get some sleep. -luna? impossible. we didn't treat her. your fever's down. how? -her body's rejecting the radiation on its own. here. please sit down. i'd like to run some tests. jackson. -what did you do? abby: nothing. there's only one variable. there's one thing that separates luna from the others. -nightblood. from the ashes, we will rise. it is very interesting. i've seen the conference you gave at yale. it's really brilliant. -well? vincent descombes, the egyptian infiltrator. yes? have you been reactivated and i do not know? he left the house three years ago. -he left turkey last wednesday. i got a little bored. i wanted to make room... and i realized that the roles of "baby without thirst" had disappeared. rubin has not touched anything. the passport, the identity card in the name of vincent descombes... have disappeared. -so i investigated. i asked questions right and wrong. and in the end i found a vincent descombes. on kartal airlines, at istanbul airport. wednesday at 9pm. -with what destination? tirana, albania. and then? nothing else, no trace of vincent descombes. or is there still or... -no, it is not there anymore. you chose albania because is a coladero. let us recap. debailly stole the papers from "bebe without thirst"... before going to exploit chevalier. he hid them in turkey just in case he left the operation. -when she escaped three days ago, managed to move from lebanon to syria. not very complicated. then he entered turkey. even less complicated. he arrived in istanbul, recovered the stolen papers... and it's gone. -okay, well rebuilt. are there any more papers missing? i have already checked it. not in closets. i have to look in the archives. -we will launch an official search for descombes. we could not do it with paul lefebvre or guillaume debailly. we would have revealed that we had lost a hostage and an agent. at least vincent descombes does not know anyone. we warned the post of tirana. -we issue a search order to all services. and verify that malotru did not have stolen more papers. marching. we will not find you. do not? -it is stronger than us. marie jeanne. what are you doing here at this time? i can not sleep. well look at a series. -marie jeanne. raymond, at 4 o'clock in the morning no i'm going to give you a coba to calm down. you are not responsible. i am responsible. i should never have accepted that you were the one who received guillaume. -yes, but... we thought it was better than to see a familiar face. it must have been mine. it would have turned out differently. sorry. -nobody takes it to your face. nobody reproaches you to have fooled you. how could you imagine, after what has had to happen... do you find resources to escape? yes, it is exactly that. -then go back to bed. it's me. i was going to leave. no, first find me someone who speaks farsi. i want to intoxicate samuel gendron. -the secretary of nadia el mansour? that's it. i have good news. hello, beautiful. the daesh no longer has your father. -has been released. really? yes. how are you? good. -he's tired, but good. where is it? at a site. it will recover a little and then will contact you and you will see. but that's it, it's over. -when can i see you? i do not know. but are you going to call me? yes i think so. do you think so? -i tell you what i know. i mean, not much. do you want to know more? i do not know. you know the situation is complicated. -did you read the notebook that left you? yes. once free, what do you think we're going to do? are they going to stop him? we have to talk to him, do not you think? -it recovers, rests and we talk with him. are they talking to him now? no, it's too early. but what will become of him? i do not know. -but i imagine that... as there is a litigation between him and the office, it will have to be fixed. but is it serious what he has done? i dont know. you are older and intelligent to understand it. -what? i'll tell you one time and i will not tell you again. and if you say that i told you, i will say that it is not true. okay. your father is free, safe, but they do not know where he is. -i imagine that at the moment you do not feel like talking to us and i understand. so he's gone. i think you have the right to know the secret. but are not they listening to us? i'm not stupid. -here they say very secret things. with the director and everything. so there are no micros. but then... no. -i've already told you everything. i can not tell you more. i love your father very much. but what if he calls me, what do i do? i tell you? -do whatever you want. as you feel. but if you call me... and not to them, be discreet, eh? okay. it's great, right? -yes. francis will accompany you outside. paul lefebvre has been released. how do you know? my new iranian source. -call the france embassy to confirm it. i already called. they dont know anything. do not know anything? no. -then it's just a rumor. my source does not bring me rumors. thank you. i hear it. do you have news by paul lefebvre? -that's why i wanted to see myself urgently? they say they have released it. who told you? is it true? i do not know. -is it false then? who has told you that you have been released? is it important? i would like the person who has told you to speak with me. i can not believe i do not know if it's true or not. -i assure you that if paul lefebvre has been released... you may not have told me. could you see mrs. anselem? it will be very difficult. she should know. maybe, but unfortunately will not be able to receive it. -i have participated in the negotiation of your release. i have had several very risky encounters. i think i have the right to know. and besides, you already know, affects me personally. i know. -then tell me, please. sorry, honestly. i can not say it, i do not know anything. we will return. see you soon. -goodbye, mrs. el mansour. goodbye. we also want to see you. call your daughter, prune. does she have news? -if you have them, you can talk. no one will throw it. thank you. poor woman. samuel, is there news? -nobody is aware of anything. i made what i could. i have interviewed immigrants who have just arrived. i have told you about the french hostage and nothing. and have you called your source? -yes. i have confirmed it, but does not tell me where it comes from. i think it's a tab of your information services. in any case, no is a mere rumor. thanks, but why do not they tell me? -sorry? it is nothing. i speak to myself. ah okay. hello, prune, good afternoon. -i am nadia el mansour. have you been able to choose already? it was not easy. poor animal. yes, but it's so good... -are we allowed to dine together like this? we cross, we sympathize, we have dinner together... and i left. are you going again? your mission is over. -finished? yes. you have been perfect. i was not wrong. how do i eat it? -the shell is for decoration. your contract ends in three months, right? yes. okay, finish it. its normal. -and it's interesting too, is not it? if much. but if they propose to renew it to you, you have to deny yourself. you miss your people, you have another chance, it does not matter. at the end of the contract you distances quietly. -i do not maintain the contact? yes, why not? but not very actively. a little like when you return from a child's camp. first you write every day... but after a certain time, and no one speaks, it is natural. -jessie. do we know each other? a friend of mine told me to come to celebrate his success. philippe? do you have drinks? -what is the concept exactly? i am yours tonight. then... is that all? do you want more time? -is that all you've been told? oh no. for you. i am the one who paid you. that person wanted you to check one thing... on the bus ticket to marachkala. -apparently there might have been a mistake in the reservation. the person said it was a detail, but it had to be checked. what reservation problem? he did not tell me. but what to check? -are you leaving? i have to fix that thing. are you sure? did not look so... urgent. you can stay if you want. -i wait for you. where was it going? "to makhatchkala, i think. i'm sorry, i panicked. i caught the first bus that came. i'm glad to see you again. -how are you? good, and you? pretty good. do you have news of your father? no. -do not they tell you anything? i mean, do not they give you regular news? who? i do not know, the government, the dgse... yes, but... -there is nothing new. no. i do have news, but are not official news. i have access to information on my charge. and i have heard that they have been released. -oh, yes? i have asked for a confirmation official and they have not told me anything. but no one has denied it to me. that's what gives me hope. i tell myself that sometimes, for reasons of security... -wait a little to announce things. but i do not know why, i i sense something happens. that has changed something. do not you? yes. -you too? so i'm not crazy. no. i have been told things. but i can not tell you anything. -positive things? yes. but i can not say anything. no, but i do not want to bother you. i do not want you to be upset. -i just needed a signal, that's all. do not tell me anything. do you want to take advantage of my taxi? no, i'm waiting for a friend. goodbye. -bye. yes? hi, i'm prune. are you okay? yes, well, i just saw the bride of my father, nadia el mansour. -and i have told you things. where are you? in the tea room. do not move, now i go. okay, thanks. -what did you say exactly? nothing, i knew things, but i could not count them. very good. i asked if they were positive and i said yes. it's okay. -is it okay? yes. what a scare. i thought i had done silly. she looked shocked and so. -do you know about my father's notebook? no, he does not know anything. nothing at all? no. do not you know everything he told me? "what about the americans and all that?" -no. fuck. do not tell him anything. "no, no, of course." but it's crazy. he wants you very much, does not he? -yes. she is beautiful. you should tell your father if he calls you. what? who cares about him. no one has told you. -ah, well. "yes, i think he'd like to know." in short... yes, yes, of course. well, it's still the same. i only told you that they had released your father. -you do not know anything else, okay? okay. thank you, mule. not at all, black pudding. yes? -i am marie jeanne. yes? what are you doing? can you come to the crisis room right now? yes, what late arrival. -better if you can be faster. is there a problem? you'll see. so far. malotru is gone... with the documentation of vincent descombes... = a alias drink without thirst. -sit down. continue. examination of files has shown us... that malotru also stole another 3 sets of roles from infiltrators. and they are: philippe asselin, alias bachibuzúk... which was seen in slovakia in a hotel in bratislava. -nicolas flahaut, alias anacoluto... i booked a room of hotel in turin. and we have the trace of lionel thouvenin, alias coloquinto... in grenoble, but 2 days ago. since then nothing. you have used all the fictitious identities you had stolen... -and it is in france. it is impossible to know where and under what name. unless we launch an alert... and make it public with a photo, which we do not want. right? will you tell us how you will expect to ask you the question? -can we do it in private? well? is everything alright. and what else? i have passed the message on to the girl of who speaks of the mansour to his father. -how did you react? fair enough, i think. and why does that face? i'm not used to it. to manipulate people? -that's. and is not that funny? not with the girl. you will overcome it. you will see. -why did you choose me? you have the physique for it. what do you mean? inspire confidence. you gave me a fright. -pass. what happens? nothing. i was waiting for you. in my room. -do you worry about something? you have touched my things, have not you? no. because i placed the objects in a special way... maybe it was not you. -what were you afraid of? i do not know, the counter-espionage. the idea of entering my room like pedro by his house me... if they do, i'd rather know it. it reassures me. -it is very dangerous to do so. if they realize, they will think that you are a professional. it's a professional trick. but i'm not a pro. are not you a professional? -of course not. but i'm tired, why do not we continue the conversation tomorrow? marina, we'll take a little longer. sit down. you lied to me. -when? and since you lied to me once, you have lied to me more. you know? why did you want to go to dagestan? i already told you. -i got scared. of what? i thought they were following me. but it is true that they followed you. and in paris you also followed. -he was my agent. okay. you are very good at detecting follow-ups. maybe it's that they're not good. and my agent could not follow you until the end. -you went to a clinic. did you have an appointment? yes. with whom? with the doctor. -is personal. we sleep practically in the same room, you work for me. nothing that concerns you is personal. i repeat the question. what doctor? -in the endocrine. i have a brain tumor. it is not a malignant tumor, but... i will remain sterile if i do not follow a hormonal treatment. do you want to have a child? -we are thinking about it. "we're"? with your boyfriend? who came to see you while was abroad? a lightning visit of 24 hours? -to escape. could not stay longer. it was just the moment... i was ovulating. marina, why did you want to go to dagestan? -i wanted to go where, outside. suddenly? yes. no. you bought the ticket for early. -you lie. well? yes, i'm sorry, i lied to you. but why is it so serious? i did not tell you because i had bought the ticket just in case. -to be able to leave it all if it wanted. but in the end no i left, so... what gives? if you scream, we will both go to the jail. do you want to go? -no. then shut your mouth. not possible. not possible. shit! -what? shut up! fuck. are you an agent, marina? from the beginning? -of course not. who do you work for? the dgse? do you work for the dgse? i do not understand you, you know that. -work for you, for the dgse. sheket! what? they must have fallen out when i told you it was from the dgse. are not you from the dgse? -and on top of it of me, the very fox. did you tell everything? and what did you do with the pen drive? your boyfriend. did you come for that? -he's not your boyfriend. is it also from the dgse? three years of preparation. i've covered my government with shit. i've covered all of you shit. -but how could i have been such a fool? what a fool, what a fool. what a fool. philippe? philippe, are you okay? -what time is it? it's late, right? shut up. i have to call my mother every night. if not, he cares. -he is able to call the police. he immediately loses his temper. it must be hysterical already. call your mother. yes? -hi, mom, it's me. hello, beautiful. this is not your usual number. i do not have a battery. i'm calling you from a friend's cell phone. -oh, okay. how are you? have you had a good day? yes, yes. what about the gut? -because i have a friend who knows a francophone gastroenterologist. i'm better, mom. i told you yesterday, it was nothing. vale, much better, much better. i'm exhausted, mom. -it was just to kiss you, i'll call you tomorrow. okay, beautiful, have a good night. thank you, mom, a kiss. see you tomorrow. i'm better, mom. -i told you yesterday, it was nothing. vale, much better, much better. i'm exhausted, mom. it was just to kiss you, i'll call you tomorrow. okay, beautiful, have a good night. -thank you, mom, a kiss. see you tomorrow. i'm exhausted, mom. it was just to kiss you, i'll call you tomorrow. okay, beautiful, have a good night. -thank you, mom, a kiss. see you tomorrow. i love you. good morning. good morning. -smells good. "it's for my daughter." you do not have time to cook. clear. how is the child? well, it starts to sleep at a stretch. -i'm going to see him tomorrow. precisely, if you are going to see him, i wanted to ask you something. of course. it would be to leave a gift in a bar, next to his daughter's house. okay. -it is a surprise for a friend. count on it. thank you very much. wait. what? -wait, i have a message that says... it's very rare. it's a message for you. prune, we were tomorrow in the bar where you waited... tennis guy, do you remember? at six. -do you know who it is? he is a friend of when he was little. must have searched for my number and got confused. and he dialed my number? yes, i do not know, that's weird. -bórralo, of all modes, step of that uncle. okay. excuse me. i'm coming. hello. -hello. i think someone left a message for me. what is your name? prune. prune? -ah, yes, many good wishes. one lady left this for you. thank you. do you want to drink something? you have been given a drink. -a cosmo. voucher. we have followed prune debailly thanks to the gps of your mobile phone. it's that yellow dot. the other points are all mobile phones... present in the establishment. -i think malotru will call her daughter today or another day... in such a full place. if you call your mobile, we can locate the call. if you call it to another mobile, we will not know which one. it will be one of all these that you see here. do you want me to come in? -the mule is there. better not. we want you to call and talk to prune. we do not want to interrupt them. yes? -i am dad. dad! how are you, my daughter? good, and you? well, very well. -they hurt you. but now everything goes well, i promise. i thought you were not coming back. i know. but here i am. -where are you? i can not tell you, but i'm not far away. is it because of what you did? yes. did you read what i wrote you? -yes, i read it, but they will leave you alone, will not they? no. i do not know. i do not think so. sorry. -i'm really sorry. but not. how i like to hear your voice. there i talked to you. i imagined you were with me. -it suited me. we fought, we laughed... really? good thing you were there. but it was not there. -you should have visited me in my dreams. they are looking for you, dad. how do you know? the mule has told me. it is logical. -you can tell them that i have called you and you can tell them how. nothing happens. do not lie to them and do not hide anything from them. who can i say that i have spoken to you? only to them. -at this time it is best to avoid being made public. and your friend can tell? my friend? your syrian friend. i have seen her. -yes? he made lots of things to get you released. oh, yes? yes, he saw people, even went to turkey. he told me a little. -but how did you stay with her? did they introduce you? no, she was the one who wanted to see me. and no one knew we were left. she is very worried, dad. -nobody tells you anything. they told me that you were free. but they do not tell her anything. it's normal. are you going to call her? -i only call you. i have to leave you. no, wait a little. i will try to contact you again. but everything is going well, okay? -do not worry. now everything is fine. okay. a very strong kiss. another very strong kiss, dad. -a very strong kiss. i am clément. i have not finished yet. i wait for you? i do not know. -then i leave. wait a little longer. okay. i am joshua. tell me. -just received a call. very short. it has come out. he asked me not to accompany you. do you have the recording? -yes, but nothing good. he was not in the room. send it to me right now. very good. you have received a brussels file. -give it to me. nadia el mansour. understood. agree... ..on your hair. -we hold the peers' robes and therefore we come along here and make sure they're all dressed correctly before going into chamber. all done? thank you. there's a lot of history, a lot of pageantry. it's great. -it's just an amazing environment to come into. it's a real privilege. everyone's wanting to look their best. in westminster, lords prepare for the biggest show of the year. if the house of lords could ever get buzzy, this is the buzzy day. -waiting for the queen to get back onto the carriage again and drop off at the palace. with unprecedented access, we filmed behind-the-scenes, where senior lords are calling for change... the reputation of the lords has gone down and down and down. this is not a daycare centre or a club. it is actually a legislative house. -running out of buckets! we're running out of buckets. ..and the brexit vote that could determine their future. this is much bigger than anything i've encountered during my political lifetime. they will open up a firestorm of resentment in the country. -as many of that opinion will say content. lords: content. greenwich time signal pips 'it's seven o'clock on wednesday the 18th of may. -the news headlines - 'the queen will set out the government's programme this morning 'in the traditional speech to parliament. 'far-reaching changes are proposed to the running of prisons in 'england and wales...' for many staff in the house of lords, it's the busiest day of the year. hopefully, there'll be no parking problems, cos nobody should be coming in here to park. -i'm saying that now, we've got a police convoy coming in. sirens wail a bit hectic at the moment. this is the point where everyone just starts to panic. mobile phone rings -and phone calls start to come in. more fried eggs, please! ok. there's a massive queue. more hash browns, please. -ok. security is through the roof, you've probably seen all the roads shut off outside. and everybody comes in early, because basically if you don't get in, you don't get in. the palace shuts down. good morning. -wow. right. here we are again. hello, hello, hello. upstairs, the lords library has been commandeered as a changing room. -you'll have a lot waiting here soon, won't you? yeah, there'll be a rush. you need to put them on correctly, because obviously you want them to go through and present themselves in the best way possible. they're excited and they want the day to be a great success. it's like a sort of prize-giving with knobs on! -hello. good morning to you. an officer on the active list, you have to wear your number one uniform - a ceremonial day coat, which is all this stuff underneath here with medals and goodness knows what. so, lots of bling. more bling than my wife. -i think the public like to keep some traditions. i think we have to watch them that we don't have too many and they're not those which are so out of date that the young say, "for goodness' sake," or something, probably... slightly less polite. i am going to get out of my trainers, actually. just for the day. -it's my concession for her majesty, you know. millions across the country will watch the queen give her speech from the throne. but beneath the glittering exterior, there is trouble. all is not well in the house of lords. the reputation has gone down and down and down. -in fact, it probably has never been lower. as lord speaker, it's baroness d'souza's job to defend the reputation of the house. the public perception is of, you know, a house full of aged males, sitting around perhaps sleeping on the benches. and the public only gets to know of the work of the house of lords when the house of lords really thwarts the government, or because there's been a scandal. my job, in part, is to promote and protect the reputation of the house and that has been no easy task. -her five years in the job has seen a drug and prostitution scandal and a peer prosecuted for expenses fraud. but on queen's speech day, the ceremonial head of the lords, she must play her part. right... here comes the heavy bit. ooh! -if we try to present ourselves as a modern and up-to-date house, the fact that we are in robes is something that confuses the public. those are the pictures which all the journalists want to take and, quite frankly, i think that we would make a big step forward if we abolished the robes. very nice to see you. yes, you too. thank you. -thanks very much. excuse me. scandals may excite the newspapers, but a more fundamental problem lies behind the headlines. we have just had nearly 50 new peers introduced to the house in a very short period. things are getting tight for seats in the chamber. -so the house now is, it's getting to near bursting point. the more lords a prime minister appoints, the more control they can have. there are now over 800 members. the government have been very lethargic about the size of the house and reducing it. it's far too large and we've said, we've had many debates, we've had lots of parliamentary questions about it, and they've simply sat on their hands. -when the queen comes to parliament, it's a scrum. if you tried to organise chaos, you couldn't do it any better than what will actually happen. i was in prince's chamber and a peer came up to me with his wife, who had a lovely gown on, a lovely tiara and said, "mr phipps, you'll find my wife a seat, won't you?" and just walked away and left her ladyship with me. -we managed to find her a seat, you know. so things like that happen, yep. but it's fantastic. it's tradition. and, er, long may it continue. -i find the queen's speech a complete distraction and a complete irrelevance. one person won't be getting dressed up for her majesty - labour peer lord foulkes. it's a waste of time, a waste of money. good morning. -i take people round and they say, "what a wonderful place." and i say, "it's not a good place to work in." it's a royal palace. it's not a real parliament and the worst time of all is when we get to the queen's speech. everything takes over for the state opening. we have canopies outside, the lampposts get taken away, the crossing that i came across disappears, so that the queen's carriage can arrive and everything is under control of the, of black rod and his men. -got to clean these shoes up. the queen would notice immediately if they were grubby. just a bit of ordinary household polish and it works marvellously on these shoes, brings them up. not all men are keen on wearing diamante buckles on their slippers. you'd... -i've spoken to some chaps who, who think it's a bit feminine. but it's just a uniform, so you don't notice. there we are. wonderful. it's not the normal uniform day, no. -it's one of those days where it's full uniform, so medals and decorations, if you've got any. and the black rod chain of office, which is there. a ceremonial sword today, so one up from the ordinary sword. and, obviously, you have to carry the black rod. if i turn up at the house of commons without the black rod, -i don't go with the sovereign's authority and they'll send me away. it's happened before. 1624, i think it was. in a couple of hours, the queen will be here. right, we need to get on. -black rod and his sidekick, the yeoman usher, make a last-minute tour of the building. the key thing about this walk round this morning, of course it's looking to make sure that everything's in order, but it's more to thank people for the efforts that they've made. are you responsible for this? i'm not responsible for the gantry. i can get in touch with somebody. -and say they can't have it there. it's in the way of the troops. right. it's got to be on the pavement, on the corner of the pavement. and if so, we need to move the barriers back, -but it's got to be, it's got to be on the pavement. ok. thanks. he's known as "his darkness" and the yeoman usher is known as the "semi darkness". -does he know that? probably not, but he probably will do now. morning! the historic palace may draw all the crowds, but for lord blencathra, who works here most days and suffers from multiple sclerosis, it is an obstacle course. this is a marvellous building. -i am absolutely devoted to it. but it was built in 1854 and we didn't have to worry about people in wheelchairs then. scares me we're at the top of these stairs. now then, how about this lift? so... -there we go. half in. just making the point there's no way through for us harmless cripples. if i eat in the cafeteria here, i can't get out onto the terrace that way. -it says "no entry," but i'll ignore that. if you see a good party, you gate-crash it. not that i ever do that. that little ramp is just too steep, that's a deathtrap for me. there we go. -it's easier to open from the other side. oh! there we go. i have to do that every time. and then get the policeman to shut it. -a traditionalist at heart, lord blencathra doesn't want to abandon the palace, he wants to change it. these days, i suppose, if we were to build a new parliament, it would be as ghastly and plain as the one in brussels and we wouldn't dare show any of our great historical past. i may be complaining about it, but there's not much you can do unless you do some major work. right, it's done. lord blencathra is in with a chance of seeing the changes he wants. -an enquiry is being held about how to renovate and modernise the palace. it could be the most significant overhaul the building has seen in its long history, ripping its very guts out. engineer andy piper works in its hidden bowels. steady beeping i'm just using this device to make sure there's no gases or anything leaking out of the ejectors, just as a safety measure. -it's a reasonably confined space down there. it's for the lowest parts of the palace. at the bottom of these stairs is where the palace is really showing its age. these victorian sewage ejectors could create a very messy problem. if these pack up, fundamentally, we've got a big problem about trying to keep the palace running. -these are approaching 130 years old now. they were originally installed to deal with a major problem of london sewage coming back into the palace. these take all the waste from the palace - rainwater, foul water, toilets... clunk everything comes down here. that was it just discharging, actually. -when the clunk sounds, waste is fired through this pipe and into the sewers on the other side of the wall. the amount of people that come through the palace, it was never envisaged when these were first put in. they're really not going to cope much longer. the number of members that we have here, members use the building differently, they're here for a lot longer times, a lot longer periods, and all that means a lot more waste. the sewage ejectors and many parts of the palace are on their last legs. -to fix all the many problems, the enquiry is considering whether lords and mps should move out for the five or so years the work will take. some of the biggest problems we face is that you can't actually access lots of the pipe work, because it runs between the gaps between floors, walls and ceilings around the entire palace. these are areas that are really hard to get into. it's really problematic for us to get in there and do any major replacement works while the house is sitting. baroness d'souza wants a radical overhaul of her own. -she's worried about numbers, particularly those peers who turn up to claim their £300 daily expenses without contributing. for the past few months she's been carrying out her own research. what i wanted to find out in the research that i did a few months ago was who was attending, um, and what they were claiming and, you know, it is very difficult to quantify. there are some who make no contribution whatsoever and who nevertheless claim the full amount. this is not a day care centre or a club, it is actually a house, a legislative house and i do firmly believe that the people who attend ought to be in a position to be able to contribute. -but she's found herself in a difficult position. as ambassador for the house, she's reluctant to speak out. i abandoned this research because it would have involved a degree of naming and shaming, which i certainly didn't want to do, but also that would in turn have provoked some kind of a press storm, which clearly i didn't wish to do. i mean, the reputation of the house is not that great anyhow. on queen's speech day, it's just an hour before she arrives. -the queen's bodyguard will turn to the left in five. left turn! slow... march! the yeoman of the guard are about to check the palace cellars for gunpowder. it's a tradition that dates back to 1605, when guy fawkes tried to blow up the house of lords. -they have made their report to black rod that the basements and now clear for her majesty to attend. um, then it is on with part two of the state opening of parliament. band plays the national anthem it's just an ordinary day unfortunately interrupted by this procession and panoply and ceremony, which makes it a little bit more difficult, but it doesn't stop us getting on with the normal business. a proud scot, lord foulkes is upset that the lords doesn't fairly represent the country as a whole. -i'm tabling a question about the imbalance of membership of the house of lords with nearly half of them coming from london. so i've got a question to ask her majesty's government what plans they have to make the composition of the house of lords more representative of the nations and regions of the united kingdom? once we've finished here, i'm going to go upstairs and use a bit of the library that isn't being used as a changing room today and catch up with my e-mail. but he will have to bide his time. -the queen has now entered the building and the whole palace is in lockdown. fanfare from state trumpeters some people come out of the woodwork wearing these great outfits, looking like playing cards, carrying swords. i feel sorry for the queen with that crown which must be heavy on her head. my lords, pray be seated. -that one day a year, where we put on the red robes, we are part of that 800-year tradition and it gives us that perspective back in history. we're here in the central lobby. yes. quick march. make way for black rod. -some people don't like the robe. i think that's pathetic and silly. lock the doors! the most important bit of the ceremony, the bit that would take 10,000 words to write is black rod hammering on the door of the commons. black rod, open the door! -the symbolism of him tapping on the door and them slamming it in his face is what our constitution is all about. the supremacy of the commons, not having to obey the sovereign, or the lords. but at the end of the day, out of courtesy, coming along to hear what is said. black rod, open the doors. black rod! -the queen commands this honourable house... ..to attend her majesty immediately in the house of peers. mps are summoned to the lords to hear the government's plans for the coming year. a standout moment will be the promised brexit referendum. my lords and members of the house of commons, my government will hold a referendum on membership of the european union. proposals will be brought forward for a british bill of rights. -my ministers will uphold the sovereignty of parliament and the primacy of the house of commons. we'll wait for the queen to get back onto the carriage again and drop-off at the palace. this is the best job, we get tea and biscuits. she chuckles he's quite young. -he's seven. and she's very old, so she's looking after him. she's very, very good, she is. we just keep him occupied with lots of mints. i haven't been anywhere else, -i've stayed here and watched the whole thing. it's very impressive to watch the coaches and the horses and the people. the queen's coming out in a moment. they think she's coming out now. she was in very good spirits, she was chuckling, i would say. -i'm going to go and have some refreshments. and then lunch. i'm going to go and take my thing off. where's that? just come with me. -just step out of that. thank you. super. if you can undo that, that'll be great. thank you very much, nice to meet you. -there we are, thank you very much. thank you. back to normal. the pantomime is over. it's almost the end, isn't it? -um, yes. you've got a huge pile there. there is, yes. we'll work our way through. the leader of the house has a little gathering. -a little gathering, a big gathering, a bit squashed, but then there's lunch downstairs, which i hope you've been invited to, as well. no. that's bad luck. the house of lords catering people, they let their imagination run wild. a lot of the lords haven't even been down to the kitchen. -when i ask someone now, when i asked them, "do you feel like coming down to the kitchen?" they say, "oh, really? oh, yes." they come down and they're amazed. -it's like the engine room. once the ceremony is over, peers get the chance to table questions to the government. lord foulkes wants to be first in the queue, but the queen's speech has got in the way again. i imagine this has been used as a cloakroom. it was. -when do you start the queuing? it's not open for another hour. about 1.30, is it? i want to be early in the queue later today to make sure i get my question in early, but i'd better let all these robes get out first. there's so many people working, moving everything around. -this place is totally chaotic, isn't it? spin it. spin it. it's a fantastic team. it's amazing how quickly they can turn this around from a state occasion, which is what it is, to setting the chamber back up ready for a chamber sitting. -breathe in, guys. calm down. slowly. don't hold the top. it'll all be done in an hour and a half, a couple of hours. -we're doing it as quick as possible, which is why everyone's sweating when everyone runs about in here. there are nine men easily, six, eight, seven, nine men needs to lift them. they're very, very heavy, solid oak. he wouldn't know because he hasn't been lifting. he's standing and looking. -i have been lifting. the queen has barely left the building and already a queue has formed of peers who want to ask a question of the government. we can challenge the executive sometimes in a way that maybe the members of parliament can't. five, six, seven. peers can interrogate ministers on any aspect of policy, provided they get a slot. -there's 36 oral question slots today, which is a huge number. compared to a normal day, there would be three or four. there's only 36 chairs out. if you get a chair, you've got a question. i've come early, which i thought was early, but i realised i've got two rows in front of me, so i'm not that early. -thank you for your patience in waiting. it is 2.30. cheering lord spicer, when would you like to ask your question? 23rd. -lord spicer. monday. ok, lovely. we've had a good time there. i'm pleased. -what's the first available date? 23rd of may. fourth question on the monday, the 23rd, next week. maybe 24th. 24th. -just in case my plane's late. that's fine. that's first on the 24th. first on the 24th, thanks very much. thank you. -i'm the first one on the 24th of may, so i'll be able to pursue my campaign on the question of the balance of membership of this place, to try and get it a bit more representative of the nations and regions of the united kingdom. see you later. my lords, ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the lord speaker. the new session is now under way. there's only a month to go until the brexit referendum and it will dominate business in the lords. -everyone wants a say, but with room for only around 400 in the chamber, it's hard to get a word in. we're in a crush, quite frankly, and there aren't enough seats for everybody. i often find myself standing or sitting in the visitors' gallery. it is totally overcrowded. there are too many lords now. -i think the accommodation is rather squeaking at the seams because there's so many. i suggested we get one of the old aircraft carriers, which sadly they scrapped in 2010 in a rather mistaken way, dragged it up the river thames, berthed it before we could put all the extra peers in the empty aircraft carrier. that didn't actually meet with too many wishes from people and you'd have great difficulty getting under the bridges, but i did it slightly tongue-in-cheek. the speaker's job is normally to defend the reputation of the house, but after five years in office, -baroness d'souza is soon to step down and won't be so restrained. the house is now so big, over 800 members. if there is a subject of extreme importance and interest, you can't fit everyone in and, unless you've got a seat in the house of lords, you can't speak. if you can't speak, you can't hold the government to account. it's early june and she's come to brighton to address an audience with a tough reputation. -is the annual conference of the women's institute. would you welcome baroness d'souza of wychwood in the county of oxfordshire. applause the size of the house, i'm almost too embarrassed to tell you that we currently have well over 800 members. -the only larger chamber in the world is the chinese national congress. laughter which is not really a parliamentary body at all. a careful analysis of attendance, voting and contributions to debates, oral questions and committees indicates that the lords could very comfortably carry out its work with no loss of expertise with between 450 to 500 members. applause -reform of the house of lords is far from most people's minds. britain is about to go to the polls for the biggest vote in a generation. almost everything is on hold because of this decision. the questions about the future of the house of lords also pale into insignificance. a very good adviser said to me, "if brexit happens, forget it. -"there won't be any way in which you can bring in reform of the lords, "because it's just not relevant." bbc radio pips 'the uk has voted to take the momentous step 'to leave the european union 'in a move that's shocked the rest of europe. 'leave campaigners say it's a stunning rebuff 'to the political elite that run the eu.' -it's a victory for ordinary people, decent people. there is still a massive disconnect between westminster, sw1 and real communities. we really are in a most impossible situation. no-one knows where we're going. -the government hadn't expected it, so they've got no idea. the leave campaigners didn't think they were going to win, so they've got no idea. we really are in limbo. normal business has been suspended for an urgent debate. clearly, this is a mega, mega issue. -we've got 119 people in to speak which, in my time here, is a record. we started at 11.30 this morning, three hours earlier. we'll go on until 11 tonight and we'll do tomorrow afternoon and on to ten o'clock tomorrow night to try and get everybody in. i hope that the house of lords will send a warning shot to the government of the dangers of brexit, to try and get them to think again and to say, "we accept the advisory referendum, we accept -"their advice, but on balance, we think it's the wrong way forward." my lords, this long overdue and momentous decision, in my opinion, will be good for the united kingdom and good for democracy in europe. the losing remainers must stop their bitter recriminations and accept the decision of the people. the referendum was a blunt instrument which suited dominant mood. it is obvious that the government was unprepared for defeat. -that's no excuse, my lords, for legislation based on the first, second and third reading of the daily mail. most members were against brexit, but for now, the lords is just a talking shop. they will have to wait and see whether they get to vote on the biggest of all issues facing britain. first they will have to consider another exit... their own. abnormal rainfall last night hit the palace of westminster and we have been incredibly busy doing a massive operation mopping up. -we're running out of buckets. we're running out of buckets. the need for repairs is becoming increasingly urgent. almost every area in the parliamentary estate has had some type of water damage today. you can see where it's coming from. -yeah, yeah, it's dripping down across the beam. this carpet underneath me is completely sodden. but if we can just go up into the roof, because i'd like to see how it's backing up to get this bad. ok. are you confident of getting me to the roof above here without getting me lost? -not confident but i'll have a good go. well, shall we try? it's like being a bit of a detective. we need to understand why the water's coming into the building. some of this building has been here for near enough 800 years. -what i'm actually looking at now is what they call a box gutter, this is part of the original fabric of the building. this has been cleaned today and the water is actually running, so hopefully it will be better now than it was this morning. this building is a sprawling palace, intertwined with downpipes and soil pipes and plumbing work. we don't always know where it all goes. even though you do surveys, pipes just disappear into walls and you can't find where they're going. -but this is all part and parcel of working in a historic palace. the report on renovating the palace will soon be published. rumour is it will recommend moving out completely while repairs are undertaken. lord blencathra has already started thinking of where to go. people say, and colleagues ask me, "ok, -"if we were to move out of parliament, where would we go?" it is my submission that within a couple of hundred yards of parliament, we've got ample alternative space. look at this beautifully quiet area here, 250 yards away from the houses of parliament. clearly this space can't be desecrated permanently, but we've got a huge area here where it would be possible, for the four or five years without a parliament, to build, what, three, four-storey portakabins here with huge open-plan offices to hold staff and secretaries, and mps and lords if necessary. -portakabin city. ok, a posh portakabin city. i know many of my colleagues in the lords are, like, "oh, portakabins - horrible, vulgar things, we can't sit in those." but there's some very sophisticated -portakabin-type office blocks these days. ample alternative facilities for five or six years. the cost of renovating the palace will be enormous. initial estimates are over £3 billion. parliament will be under pressure to justify the cost in the press. -for now, baroness d'souza is getting some flak of her own for a smaller expense. good afternoon. this is the moment of truth. and i think it's a good painting. i think it's a really good painting. -i'm terribly honoured, i'm flattered. a portrait costing £12,000 has been called a waste of public money by some newspapers. previous attacks have come over the cost of flowers in her room and once leaving a car waiting whilst making an official visit to the opera. they do what is appropriate. they hold people to account, those people who spend taxpayers' money, there's absolutely no harm in that at all. -in fact, that's their job, i absolutely support that. just one would require them to be accurate. the fact that one has, as we have in this office, halved expenditure over the five years that i've been here, more than halved it, is really not news, is not news at all. my son-in-law gave that to me. he said it's one of the last ones he found in an old communist bookshop. -he gave it to me. radio news: 'the former conservative peer lord hanningfield 'has been cleared of false accounting. 'describing him as lord fraud, the paper explained how 'he claimed the maximum £300 attendance allowance for the lords 'on 11 days when he spent less than 40 minutes in parliament.' baroness d'souza has another scandal to deal with. -lord hanningfield is a serial offender. jailed for expenses fraud, he returned to the lords on release only to be suspended for claiming his daily allowance without working. now the criminal case has been dismissed after the court said only the lords can define what constitutes parliamentary work. some newspapers are calling it a cover-up. morning. -how are you? good, thank you. what news, other than hanningfield? well, i just saw the front pages this morning. doesn't look good. -and it gets off scot-free? "lord fraud above the law." that's what it says. when you said yesterday that the press office had got some press lines ready, are they putting them out? yes, i'm sure they are. i'll check, though. -i'll let you know what they are as well. ok, thanks very much, rob, that's great. it's a very, very sad case of someone who behaved very, very stupidly. he was someone who was not savvy enough to realise that he would become a point of interest for the press. and he clearly, having already been convicted and imprisoned for fraud, and came back to the house, and then started claiming a full whack for not a very full day... it brings the house into disrepute. -the hanningfield scandal will be the last that baroness d'souza has to deal with before she leaves office. we've had some very, very good times, quite a lot of difficult times. i don't think that you could do without the house of lords. it does refine legislation. it's got a particularly strong reputation for upholding individual liberties. -it holds the government to account. i feel quite sad about stepping down. it's now the summer recess. but controversy hasn't taken a holiday. radio news: -'david cameron's been accused of 'looking after his old boys network 'after the sunday times published what it says is his 'resignation honours list. 'it includes two major conservative party donors 'who were also remain supporters, 'four cabinet ministers and more than 20 staff at downing street.' on leaving office, david cameron has nominated 13 conservatives for peerages. of course, prime ministers have every right to appoint people when they leave office, when they're in office, if they want to put more peers in there, but, you know, -i really do have to tell you, it really has been far too many in recent times. tony blair, in ten years, appointed 374 new peers. cameron was in office for six years, he created 244 new peers at a faster rate than any other prime minister. i think, quite frankly, it's a disgrace. lord blencathra has a plan for where the knife should trim. -there are some people who had tremendous expertise or maybe held high positions in government. but if they're never here now, then what is the point of staying on? i'm thinking about a deputy prime minister in the conservative government under john major. let's find him. ah, there he is. -michael, lord heseltine. 3% attendance in the whole of the last parliament. 3%. you know? and maybe he came in and made some devastatingly important speech then, -i don't recall it. um, but... it's, it's... i don't think we can go on with people on 3%, 4%, 5%, or 0% attendance, when there is no good reason not to. there are only so many sardines that can fit into a tin. and only so many peers that can squeeze into a room. -where did you disappear to? oh, you did that? she chuckles maureen and carol have the unenviable task of looking after lords' private offices. this room has got, like, three rooms in it. -one, two, three. you've got a baroness in here. the easiest room? one of the cubicles. there's one desk, one chair. -bits and pieces. it's like 3' x 3', so i just go in, round, and out again. in these cramped rooms, no gap is too small for a desk, some papers and a peer of the realm. can't do much on that table. there's so much stuff on there. -got so many papers. of course, we're not allowed to touch it. we just hold the stuff... and then just flick over. lord ivan. -irvine, sorry. lord irvine. she laughs it's november. and the courts have ruled that parliament, including the lords, must vote on britain leaving the eu. -chanting: what do we want? brexit! when do we want it? now! -this is potentially a massive blow to theresa may's brexit plan, that parliament could have to pass legislation to trigger article 50. it wouldn't just have to go through the commons, it would have to go through the house of lords too, where the government does not have a majority, and where there are an overwhelming number of peers opposed to brexit. pro-european lords now face a historic dilemma. bow to the will of the people, or vote with their hearts against brexit. this is the most important decision that has been made by parliament in the 40 years that i've been in the commons and in the lords. -what we've already got mps saying, and the government in particular is, "we've been given instructions by the british people." that is a load of nonsense. absolute rubbish. whispers around westminster are that the lords could even be abolished if they defy the government. -it is undermining our whole system for the prime minister and the government to threaten the house of lords that if we don't do what they expect us to do, then our future will be in jeopardy. that is disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. the lords would be very, very foolish to vote it down, because they don't understand the mood of the people out there. if the elected members of parliament try and muck around with the will of the people, then i think they'll be in deep trouble. and if the lords were attempting to do it, then, -i think that would be, that would lead to trouble on the streets. that would lead to complete anarchy and riots. never mind the house of lords being abolished, that will be the least of our worries. for now, peers have the chance to debate an issue that's united the house. their own bloated size. -the house wants it, the country wants it, the nation deserves it. we deserve reform. so all we can do is go on pressurising the government to see the error of their ways. get something done about it. after years of talk about reducing numbers, peers have finally secured a debate they hope will spark real change. -the repeated abuse of prime ministers' powers of privilege is as plain as a pikestaff. the abolition of their unchannelled power is long overdue. be gone, i say. and i hope theresa may takes note. mumbles of agreement -the question is that this house believes that its size should be reduced and methods should be explored by which this could be achieved. as many are of that opinion will say, "content." content! to the contrary, "not content." the contents have it. -the house do now adjourn. for the first time, all sides of the house agree that numbers should be cut. the only way to do it is a proper select committee to see how it can be done, and to stop prime ministers, and all prime ministers, not just one prime minister, all prime ministers, putting people into this house that give them either financial support or support in some other way. a committee will now look at where the axe should fall. -but any plan will need not only cross-party support, but the government's support as well. is any government really going to give time to changes of this sort when they've got the whole brexit concerns to face up to? if it becomes evident that the prime minister and the government have less patronage, less power, less influence here, just when they need it most? no way. that's not real politics. -the committee on renovating the palace has published its report. 'the report anticipates that sooner rather than later, 'we've got to completely refurbish every aspect of the building 'and that means we should plan to move out 'and then we can actually do a proper job.' the suggested new home for the lords is the qe2 conference centre, just across parliament square. this is a horrible, ghastly, 1970s architectural monstrosity in my opinion, but nevertheless, it is perfect for our purposes. i know we've got a few colleagues who suggest close the whole thing down and build a new one in birmingham or whatever. -no, the concern some will have is that once we leave, we may never go back in. some wicked government in the future will say, "ah, well, that's the lords out of the place now, let's close it down." i don't think that will happen. i can understand how some people say, dangerous moving out, because you never know what quite will happen then. -there are things like the dress of the doorkeepers. you know, the black rod may no longer be called black rod, for example. is he really going to walk around with a sword on his hip for various events? i think a lot of these things could be removed. people say, "no, we don't really want to do that." -once you've had a break, that's the time to do it. baroness boothroyd: we probably all have to move out. it will be very traumatic for me personally when that happens. i love being here. -i look at the paintings, the glorious ceilings we have. or the library. what is going to happen to all of this? i ask myself that question. how are we going to preserve this so that one day we can come back and make this a real parliament, you know, again? -the lords have had to move out of their chamber before. and still survived. oh! we've got something here which shows you the officials of parliament managed to keep traditions going, doesn't matter what happens. after the second world war, the house of commons was destroyed, the commons moved into the chamber of the house of lords and the lords moved through there into the robing room. -so what happened, at the queen's speech, when the commons were in here, black rod came down through the royal gallery, came here and knocked with his rod on this door. so this door has got exactly the same kind of marks that the door of the house of commons has. there are going to be very serious questions when we move out to other buildings. it will be very, very difficult for them to keep some of the traditions and keep some of the ceremonial going. -but don't underestimate their ability to find ways of doing it. and i'm sure that black rod, even now, will be thinking, is there a door black rod can knock on? it's definitely a landmark occasion, it's something that we'll probably never, ever see again. we're going to get a lot of lords in the chamber today and it's going to be busy. there's been a lot of talk saying, if they do vote against anything, then they're going to get rid of the house of lords. -i don't want that to happen, i'd be out of a job. the government's brexit bill has been passed in the commons by a large majority. it is now down to the lords to agree it. 'i came to london last night to prepare for it today 'because it is such a big day. 'i've been listening to the radio and tv last night and this morning, 'and they're all talking about the house of lords.' -hi, how are you? i'm very well, thank you, how are you? very well. that's brilliant, nice and strong. i've been getting e-mails the like of which i can't recall, asking us to do something about stopping brexit. -if the house of commons is going to just meekly accept this flawed referendum result and take it as an instruction, why are they there at all? all that we have now to protect our constitution and protect our democracy is the house of lords. 'people made the decision. 'it's simply our job to enact it without mucking around with it.' it is a very, very short bill. -it has come from the commons unamended with a massive majority. i want to say to peers, if they want to actually try and vote against this bill, they will open up a firestorm of resentment in the country. record numbers of peers want to speak in the two-day debate. what we've got here, we have the speakers list. they're not normally this long. -and we have got 84 speakers today and more coming tomorrow. we'll start at 11 o'clock, with lord lamont, and then we'll go until the end, which is 187 speakers. fun day. this is much bigger than anything i've encountered during my political lifetime. that would apply to everybody else in this chamber today. -i mean, this is big league time. it's standing room only in the chamber. but a surprise visitor has squeezed in. when any privy counsellor comes, they have to sign in the book here. february 2017, we've got the prime minister there. -you wouldn't really know it was the prime minister, so she's conveniently written "prime minister" alongside for us. theresa may is taking up her right to sit in front of the throne, the first prime minister to do so in a quarter of a century. i don't think anyone comes in here to intimidate the house of lords because the house of lords is a fairly unintimidate-able body of people. i know that a lot of media said, "oh, she was showing, 'look, "'i'm keeping an eye on you lot, don't you dare do anything.'" -i think actually it was, in a funny way, good leadership, good naval leadership. the two-day debate will decide whether the bill goes to the next stage in the lords. if we ask the house of commons to look again at an issue, it is not a constitutional outrage, but a constitutional responsibility. hear, hear. if this house tries to sabotage the bill, we will be called the real enemy of the people. -we will have unleashed demons which will not be controlled. to listen to the arguments and to decide how to vote. that's parliamentary democracy for you. and if we don't stick to that, it's not just the house of lords that will be redundant, it's the house of commons as well. mumbles of agreement -the question is that this bill be now read a second time. as many of that opinion will say, "content." content. to the contrary, "not content." the contents have it. the house has passed the bill through its first stage. -they will now vote on amendments. 185, 190 speeches. that's not what people outside have been asking for, writing to us, sending us e-mails, ringing us up. they're asking for decisions. over the coming days, the lords make changes to the detail of the bill. -temporary defeat for the government. there have voted contents, 358. not contents, 256. so the contents have it. but they will not have the final say. -peers have no intention of stopping the bill in its tracks, and will ultimately bow to the commons, whether they accept their amendments or not. the decision now has been made. i voted remain but the decision has been made to go. the house of lords can't and doesn't want to overturn the will of the people or the will of the commons. leaving europe will hand parliament a massive workload, passing new legislation to replace eu law that is lost. -the lords will come into their own. burrowing into the heap of legislation flowing from the commons, making amendments and refining it. i've referred to us as being parliamentary worms, and we will be wriggling furiously over the next couple of years. we can't overstep the mark, because if we do, worms get squashed. but we will have a huge role to play over the next couple of years and it's very difficult to think of a time when the house of lords is going to be more significant in that legislative process. -we'll be getting into the nitty-gritty. and as everybody knows, and i know as an ex-mp, the mps are not very good at dealing with that. both houses will have to work very carefully together to hold the government to account, to make sure that ridiculous things don't slip through. brexit will make the parliamentary worms more important than ever. secure in their immediate future. -it is the palace of westminster itself which is facing the most dramatic change, with radical building work and the loss of its inhabitants. one day i was coming to work and i stopped on westminster bridge and i looked at it and thought, "bloody hell, that's where i work." if we move out, i personally wouldn't really want to go and work anywhere else. if we move out here, we stay dressed like this, you haven't got the same nostalgia, the same history. -wherever we go work after this, the queen elizabeth building, anything, it won't be the same. it just won't be the same. are you interested in finding out more about the house of lords, and the role it plays in the uk's political system? go to... ..and follow the links to the open university. -i'm not scared, pal, but i know you are. i didn't kill your girls. yes, you did. i tried to warn you, over and over, and you wouldn't listen. as soon as you put this on me, you dug their graves. -why do you think nothing bad has happened to you, ever since you met her? she is the worst luck that could ever happen to you. if winter found out that you'd stolen evidence... you do it, stuff like that, all the time. yeah, but i do it so you don't have to. -you want to be transferred? i think a fresh start would be best for everyone. the flat burned down. i've no other clothes. don't touch my pants. -it was just an accident, pure bad luck. it happened about the same time you sent me that text. he was innocent. purer than the driven snow. not quite. -is the kebab such a good idea? you what? i said, is the kebab such a good idea? i drive with one hand, darling, don't worry, you're safe with me. it's you i'm thinking about. -all that saturated fat. it's not good for your arteries. i'm here for a good time, not a long time. i said, i'm here for a good time, not a long time. sure this is where you want dropped? -yeah. you could get attacked out here on your own. i'm fine. it's 25 quid, then. oi! -come here! it's rather creepy, you staring at me like this. you may kiss me now. i need a shower. me, too. -you can't, it's my brother's place. so, stay dirty. i need to go to work. i'll call rui. he's here tonight. -harry? what are you doing, tonight? i don't know, i'll call you later. i want to talk... about isabella. i don't know who you're talking about. -she's literally calling you, right now. that's not my phone. your name is rui hirota... no, it isn't. ok. -when you're ready to talk, let me know. what time did you get in at last night? late. er... hello. -hi, you must be rich. i didn't realise harry had... a friend staying over. isabella. nice to meet you. so, you hear lots about me? -lots. it's great to finally meet you. coffee? no, i'm afraid i'm going to have to love you and leave you. i have a taxi outside. -but it's really nice to meet you. and i hope that we spend more time together, soon. ok. bye. she gone? -yes. thanks. well, she seems... interesting. that's one word for her. foreign, classy, beautiful, how do you manage it? -i honestly wouldn't know where to start. well, imagine i already know about your childhood, your failed marriage and your recent homelessness. maybe it's a language barrier. yeah, maybe she doesn't understand a single word you're saying. that's why it's working out so well. -funny. come on. she's gorgeous! what have you possibly got to complain about? i'm not sure, that's the problem. -the amount of relationships you've screwed up because she likes some silly cocktail or doesn't like man u. no, no, no, this is more... she might be... so...? -so...? so, you need to find out for sure. because if she is a good one, you don't want to let her go. morning. morning. -dog walker found him floating, first thing. do we have an id? suri and orwell are checking out the taxi, we think it's his. so, you heard about steve? no. -what's he done, now? he's requested a transfer. buster wiley, date of birth eighth of the fifth, '66. i told him to think on it a couple of days. he might change his mind if he felt... less isolated from the team. -doesn't look like he's been in the water that long, does it? harry, did you hear me? i'm not sure what i can do. you know, i thought you might be a little more understanding of the redemptive power of second chances. you're saying buster topped himself? -jumped off the railway bridge? cab's registered to a b wiley. married, two kids in their 20s. also, he's got a dash cam. could be useful. -check it out, steve. daisy? hello, love. you all right? mum says you think you've got a magic bracelet. -this? you skipped school to ask me a stupid question like that? you think you've got problems, dad? everyone has problems. tell me about it. -you can talk to me about anything, you know. i mean, if you ever need to. i don't need to talk. i just wanted to know that you weren't going insane. do i look insane? -come home, then. stop being an arse. i can't. come home, i mean. come on... -i'll drop you back to school. so, what we're looking at? asphyxiation, caused by aspiration of fluid. in this case, canal water, into the air passages as a result of submersion. he drowned. -anyone else involved? well, there's no signs of a struggle. no cuts or bruises or lesions inconsistent with a death by drowning. what about this scar? an operation? -heart bypass, relatively fresh, too. when do we get the tox report? it'll be a while, i'm afraid. they're backed up. i'm still waiting for reports from two weeks ago. -can you try and speed it up? i'd like to clear this up as quick as possible, so we can solve some real murders. i can certainly try, di clayton. good lad. how was the pathologist? -waiting on the tox report, you? yeah, i extracted that dash cam footage you asked for. yeah? so, what did you get? apart from one very sad cabbie. -have a look. who's she? that is his last fare. rewind. stop it there. -can you not get a clearer image than that? that's all we have. so, how does a 15-stone man chasing a girl half his size end up in the water? he goes for her, she pushes him in? either way, this isn't suicide. -great work, steve. maybe it's not. we need to find her. you seem upset. can i help? -i've just got a bit of a hangover. you look familiar. do i know you from somewhere? maybe from a meeting. god! -forget i said i had a hangover, will you? i won't say a word. how long since you were sober? are you hearing me? we're just talking. -you are. you had a liver transplant. how do you know that? you mentioned it in a meeting. did i? -i didn't think i... you know, there are thousands of people waiting for organ transplants. god, you don't need to make me feel bad, ok? i honestly couldn't feel worse. saying you feel bad isn't enough. -which meeting did you come to? you have to change, julie. which one? paddington. i've never been to a meeting in paddington. -harry? johnny. i'm looking for my wife. i didn't know you'd be entertaining. behave. -daisy about? i thought i'd run her to school. no, she's got hockey today before classes. you've missed her. hockey? -! since when? she's very good, you should go and watch her play. at least it keeps her off that bloody computer. anna, i've said it before, it's nothing to worry about. -it's perfectly normal. what's up? i know, i know, i'm just being hypersensitive because of everything that happened with... is she having difficulty adjusting to johnny? no. -she's just always upstairs with the door shut. she's 13 years old. i'd think there was something up, if she wasn't. exactly what i said. look, why don't i go upstairs and finish getting dressed? -it's just, every time i... try and have a look, she just closes the laptop. well, she doesn't want her mum to see her instagram or... i know, i know, i get it. i wouldn't want my mum reading my diary. it's just there's something about the urgency with which she closes it. -you checked her history? suspiciously clean. you want me to take a look? be discreet, will you? i am a professional. -what? rui? yes? i'm calling to let you know that someone checked for your name on the interpol system. the user was a di harry clayton. -miss augustine... i heard you. should i take care of this. no, i'll do it. would you keep an eye on him and let me know where he is at all times? -thank you. she'd kill me if i talked. i'll kill you. i haven't done anything wrong. you help her kill people. -no, i don't. i just drive, and she doesn't kill anyone. so she just wants them dead and somehow they die? so you know it already? you don't need me to tell you what she is. -really? what's that? magnificent. no, she's just a thug in a posh frock. you're just jealous. -tell me everything you know, and you can go back to her. afternoon. she has an operation scar, like buster. that's right. this poor girl was on her second liver. -she'd had a transplant? watch out, suri, he's catching up with you. she's so young. now, this is what you want to know. ever hear of pentaprevin? -big centre-half, played for lamiakos. it's a short-acting skeletal muscle relaxant, mostly used in hospitals. what for? it's used in tandem with a sedative to anaesthetise patients before surgery, hugely specialised. now, look here. -i have to confess, i missed this on my first pass, but, after the tox report showed pentaprevin in buster's system, i had another look. what are we looking at? there, do you see? i think that is a needle mark. -what? does she have, erm... pentaprevin? yeah. i'd need a tox report. -how long? here's one i prepared earlier. good boy. and...? pentaprevin, yes. -now, look at this. see? so they're related? you're the detectives. but one other thing she'd been drinking, which is very naughty if you've had a liver transplant. -all right. so, were they poisoned or were they drowned? both. i think they were incapacitated by the pentaprevin, then thrown in the water. so, they were conscious, but they couldn't save themselves? -exactly. it's a terrible way to die. you know you're drowning, but you just can't move. jesus. yes, hello. -this is detective steve orwell with the murder investigation squad. i'm looking to speak to someone in the anaesthesiology department. i've got a list here of all the deaths on regent's canal in the last 18 months. where do i start? can i leave my number and ask...? -both of our victims had had major surgery, so check the list, see if anyone matches that profile. there are more deaths in the canals than you think. well, crosscheck the names with their medical records to see what that throws up. i'm feeling lucky. what about our suspect, the lady in the black coat? -now, well, your footage didn't offer us much, did it? bingo. daniel green, three weeks ago... 50s, body in canal, suspected suicide. he was receiving regular treatment from a private hospital called the. regent clinic. -did he have a transplant, or what? i don't know, it doesn't say. right, let's go. you keep bashing the phones, big lad. how come i work my arse off and you just get lucky? -we're here to discuss one of your patients with you. daniel green. i doubt i could help you, what with doctor-patient confidentiality. let's see how we go, shall we? before he died, was mr green depressed? -well, he was suffering from terminal cancer, so i don't think it's a stretch to say he wasn't in the highest of spirits. i understand he recently had a major operation. as i've said, i can't discuss a patient's medical details. well, you know, i can come back here with a warrant for the information, bring 30 policemen, uniforms, we'll stick around here for a while. what would you prefer? -he'd had a successful lung transplant. it's an extremely rare procedure, but he could afford it. how much does this treatment cost? well, i'm not at liberty to discuss that. but i doubt i could afford one. -if he paid all that money for a transplant, why would you think he was suicidal? one of the doctors saw him smoking outside the hospital, post-operation. none of us could believe it, really. felt like he was sticking two fingers up at god. do you use pentaprevin here? -we do. why do you ask? we'll need the names and addresses of any staff that might have access. i can't give you those, it's confidential. that's funny, that thing you do. -i'm sorry? you know, when your eyes turn away. dry mouth, swallow. you're doing it now. not much of a poker face. -whatever it is you're hiding has got very little to do with doctor-patient confidentiality, wouldn't you say so, dr jones? we had to let someone go recently, someone who would have had access. how long ago? about a month. she was a nurse at the practice. -what was her name? scarlett cartmell. why did you sack her? she was caught stealing drugs. pentaprevin? -yes, and a variety of other substances. she was an addict. i take it you reported this? there was concern raised over the potential public relations fallout. write down scarlett cartmell's details now. -do you think she's our woman in black? well, it's like looking likely. what's her motive? she loses her job, feels hard done by, takes it out on others who have had second chances but squandered them. buster wiley, he kept eating kebabs, his wife said as much, julie tracey, she kept drinking, daniel green kept smoking. -jesus. she's killing addicts. what's the matter, think you're next on the list? no i... i'm not an addict. -sure i'm... you've got a lot more gobby in the last month, you know? scarlett cartmell, police, open up. right, i'll have to break it down, stand back. -well, i can close it again if you really want to break it down. as i said, gobby. scarlett? jesus! god. -suri? it looks like an overdose. approximate time of death? i'd say she's been lying there for a good three, four weeks, if i had to guess, which, basically, i do. so she's not our killer. -well, thanks for coming down. that's fine. it was the right call. her body's too delicate to move. difficult to do an autopsy on soup. -right, ralph. how are we getting on? almost everything on the list that kenneth gave us is accounted for. sir. almost? -we're missing some morphine and the pentaprevin. well, looks like scarlett had the morphine. so our killer is still out there? yep, with the stolen pentaprevin. hello? -excuse me. 'you're not avoiding me, are you? ' me? never. -'great'. 'shall we meet up? ' sure. when? -'how about right now? ' what are you doing here? i was just out for a walk. my driver seems to have taken the day off. -come here. in. so? how are you here? this is a crime scene. -a murder scene. i wanted to see you, harry, and... i tend to get what i want. i've had this for ten years. finding you is... -plus, i've gathered friends around me, people who'll do anything. but i guess the honeymoon is over. that's why you did an interpol check on me. i told you i have friends, but at least i'm being honest with you, which makes one of us. and then there was that chat the other night, full of hints and innuendos about a man dying. -was that you? do i kill people? do you? what does my police record say? it's clean. -spotless. almost artificially so. what about rui, my driver? what have you done with him? nothing. -looks like we both have trust issues, then. i'm not sure what i feel about you working. on the one hand, the authority's undeniably a turn-on. on the other, you're not much fun. i've only ever been honest with you, harry. -what are you afraid of? i shouldn't be doing this. then stop me. sorry, sir, sorry to bother you, but we need to move the van. come home with me. -i can't. please. sir? i am trying to question a witness here, fuckin' eejits, move! sorry, sir. -morning, what's the craic? got a possible lead, emily sorkin, works at the clinic, knew scarlett, had access to the drugs, pretty good height match for the figure in the video. we reckon she could be our woman in black. have you got an address? good. -suri, let's check her out. i think since steve did the heavy lifting, he should go. orwell? i'll go with him. ok, don't lose her. -i'm sure we'll be fine. if you wanted, you could break the news to scarlett's next of kin. anna! hello. that's such a coincidence. -are you drinking alone? i'm waiting for johnny, he's, um, he's been held up in traffic. well, i'm on my own, so it's perfect. i admire you. really? -yeah, well, not just because of your work.. after everything harry did to you, you still make time for him, and let him be with your daughter. you're almost too kind. yes, well, he's hard to get rid of. but he is worth sticking with, isn't he? -i sometimes worry that i'm betting on the wrong guy. your bracelet... where'd you get it? it's a gift from harry, actually. it's an acquired taste, but i do like it. -harry? buying jewellery? wow! i'm a bit worried that my wrist will turn green. yes, well, i wouldn't worry too much about harry, if i were you. -you've clearly got him in a very good place indeed. so sorry i'm late, darling. the most incredible set of circumstances delayed me. you wouldn't believe... so, this new suri... -what new suri? well, the one who shouts down her boss and doesn't do what she's told. i'm not! that's, that's not... no, no, no, it's good, it's good. -i mean, don't go full harry clayton on us, but... no, i like it. come on. do you want to check around back? you check round the back. -emily sorkin? yes. clare cartmell? yes? i'm di harry clayton. -i'm afraid i have some bad news. may i come in? er, yes, yes, of course, come in. thank you. er, what's this about? -it's about your sister, scarlett. what's happened? i'm sorry to say she's been found dead in her flat. right. i would like to tell you that this is a surprise, but it isn't. -was it an overdose? yes. were you close? sometimes. i... -i understand how destructive addiction is. i don't believe in addiction. you don't? i don't believe it's a disease, anyway. it's a choice. -a continuing series of choices. my sister wasn't ill, i'm afraid. she just liked to get high. it's a bit more complicated than that, surely? if addiction was a brain disease, the neurologists would be able to find evidence backing it up, but they can't. -the phrase, the idea, addiction is merely an abdication of responsibility. sorry, i... you must think i'm a monster? no. ms cartmell, i deal with real monsters every day. -look, i'm sorry, but i really do have to get to work. no, of course, of course. what work do you do, by the way? i am an anaesthetist. a medical family. -did you ever work with scarlett? no. did you work at the regent clinic? well, here's my card. please, if you feel i can help in any way, give me call. -one thing, uhm do you happen to have a recent photo of scarlett? i'm afraid not. an old one, maybe? um, would it be all right if i dropped it into the station? as i said, i'm running late. -i'm sorry, but do you mind getting it now? of course. no good, i'm afraid, she had a solid alibi. maybe our murderer never worked at the regent clinic. i'm going to look into locums, see if there's a link there. -where's harry? he's playing his condolences to scarlett's sister. no, really, he is. all right. go through the list of staff from other hospitals, see how many doors were going to need to knock. -sir. 'hi, this is harry clayton, please leave a message... ' i've got something. what is it? i've been going through the agency list of all the locums -that work at the regent clinic? and...? there's an anaesthetist there who also does shifts at the hospital wher buster wiley had his heart surgery, and the infirmary where julie tracey had her transplant. a woman? yeah, and her name is clare cartmell. -it isn't far. it's harry's! i didn't kill scarlett. she called me after she lost her job. wanted money. -i wasn't going to help. if you keep giving money to people like that, they never get better. but she was my sister, and i loved her, so i went round to see her. and there she was, dead in the bath. and next to her was the pentaprevin. -i do work at the regent clinic, every now and then, as a locum. i was going in, and there was daniel green, sucking on a cigarette outside. i looked at him, and i thought about my sister... and afterwards, it felt like justice. i am so sorry, i didn't get a chance to stop. it's fine. -no, no, come on, give me your insurance details, and i'll give you mine. no, no, honestly, it's fine. it's just a scratch. no, come on, i totally damaged your bumper! -don't worry about it. please, i insist! i'm fully comp. wait! i'd like to report an accident. -all right, we search the canal, that's where she dumps her bodies. i want every available unit searching every inch of it, that's eight and a half miles, and we have no time, so go, now! 'information of a damage-only accident involving vehicle registered to. 'clare cartmell in the last five or six minutes. the vehicle has left the scene, over.' -received, what's the location? over. 'eastway junction with great eastern road, 'stand by for further details, over.' that's the stratford end of the canal, let's go. the others were already drowning, thrashing about, dragging society down with them. -stuffing your face with a kebab like that. i mean, that's a suicide note, really, isn't it? i'm sorry, but you're all trying to stop me, and i'm right. i know i am. it should have been me. -it's my fault. shut up. i should have gone, not harry. yeah, and then we'd be looking for you. he'll be all right. -it's harry, he's always all right. whoa, whoa, whoa, steve! what the fuck? harry! police! -stop! stop! stop it! why aren't you saving your colleague? is he dead? -is he? come on! harry? ok. ok, ok, you're all right. -thanks. you're welcome. so, look, steve, we've had our differences, haven't we? really? what? -"we've had our differences," but i've developed a grudging respect for you, steve, "and now i, the almighty harry clayton, "have decided to bestow upon you my gratitude and my forgiveness. "you may retract your transfer". -something along those lines? almost exactly along those lines. yeah. hey, guess what? i don't care. -i don't care if you want me to go or stay. my leaving's got nothing to do with you. you're not the centre of the universe, mate. i know that. you might. -she doesn't. she is a very good police officer. you are a bad influence on her. look, are you both certain you don't want a hospital checkup? chief, we're fine. -thank you... um... i should take this. so, apparently i owe you a thank-you card or something? i'll take the something. -do you trust me now? my colleagues were telling me about this madwoman, she jumped out in front of their car, it's a miracle they didn't kill her, so they say. as far as trusting you goes... i might be getting there. well, i owe you an apology. -my little rui is back. poor boy got mugged and ended up in hospital. i'm sorry. i'll make him all better. when can i make you all better, harry? -i can't tonight, i've got daisy, sorry, but... soon. ok, just don't keep a girl waiting. yep. there she is! -hello, dais. mwah! i've just been telling daisy about digital effects, about how you can manipulate anything these days with digital effects. great. and i've been telling uncle rich that i'm nearly 14, and i know all about cgi. -sorry, am i missing something? somebody posted this online. right. can't get away with anything these days. dad, i want you to tell me the truth. -ok. is that really a magic bracelet? yes. it is. cool. -show me. ok. heads or tails heads. tails. -call again. heads. tails. again. bad luck, dais. -dad, this is pathetic. can't you jump off a building into a trifle or something? just keep watching. i win every time. and harry, another staggeringly beautiful woman dropped a package off for you this morning. -people are dying every day in this city. always by accident. she is always there. how many? i don't know. -she kills them? she wants them dead, and they die. she's unstoppable, ever since the first. the man who killed her children, what did she do to him? she nailed him to a tree and slit his throat. -woe betide anyone who crosses isabella augustin. if we don't start helping each other... we might fall out. dad has superpowers. batman has alfred, spider-man has aunt may. whoa, whoa, whoa, i'm not your dad's aunt may. -don't you move! i'm afraid i'm going to have to, sweetheart. go, go, go... how well do i really know you? 'she wants them dead, and they die. -'she's unstoppable.' your pain, your anger, just letting it out like that. if there's anything that you want to tell me, now would be time. welcome to the point of no return. hello? -lord boltron. adam scott, my best friend. hey, i've got two words for you, bro: vegas, baby! las vegas. -strippers, shots, bubba gump shrimp company. sorry, adam, no can do tonight. all righty, then... reno, baby! cheaper strippers, cheaper shots, two bubba gumps. -not gonna happen, kemosabe. okay, well, bakersfield, baby? santa fe? cincinnati? what's going on, bro? -it's valentine's day. man, what is it with you and valentine's day? why do you care so much about this stupid holiday? "why," you ask? you down there! -what are you singing about? christmas, of course! why? it's february! ha ha ha! -ah! ho ho ho! santa! come here, you big bowl of jelly. good to see you, my boy. -michael, i need your help. something got into the elves this year, and they made way too many toys. so, you want me to kill the elves. what? no! -there's too many toys, so we need more babies to give them to. seventy-five thousand, to be exact. well, what do you want me to do, put out another sexy single? i fear that may not be enough. i need you to make a valentine's day special, a production so sexy that people around the world will be compelled to make love. -and ten months from now, there'll be 75,000 new babies, and christmas will be saved! thy will be done, kris. with special guests: maya rudolph, kenny g, -misty blair, casey wilson, chocolatier peter salanz, michael fulton, celebrity chef chef roy, baby archer, virtual reality expert dr. vince harbert and santa claus. and now here's your host, michael bolton. -hey, there. i'm michael bolton. i've sold more than 75 million records and topped the charts with nine number-one singles. but more importantly, i'm the undisputed king of valentine's day. -thank you. now let me show you where tonight's magic is gonna happen. it's a little area of the set i like to call the "love nest." ah, yes. this is to my liking. -designed by clinically insane swedish architects to encourage optimal lovemaking. slipper satin couch which comfortably seats up to four participants. a well-stoked fire, the lights of which will illuminate the sweat upon our writhing bodies. a carcass of a dead animal, as a sober reminder of the fact we're still alive. let's take it somewhere a touch more private, if you don't mind. -ah, the boudoir. i love art, especially the naked stuff. it makes me think of... sex. i did that one myself at age nine. it still turns me on. -i hope you'll feel comfortable here. remember: nothing's off limits in the love nest. except that room. that's the man cave. -that's for me and the boys to bro out. it's got a mini-fridge and a kick-ass poster of a lamborghini. it's really cool. but like i said, off limits! we'll be keeping track of how many babies are conceived tonight on our board. -we need your help to meet our goal of 75,000 new babies by the end of the show, or christmas will be ruined. our operators are standing by to take your calls. tell them about your lovemaking experiences or just ask them for tips. if you want to have a guaranteed baby, tell the guy you're on the pill. i'm glad to hear you just made love. -you did it! congratulations! yes! oh, you're a polygamist? oh... -we can count on you for three? ha ha! we've got three! and now, to kick things off, a lovely song from a happy couple-- legendary duo misty blair. thank you, michael. -you know, misty and i are so happy to be here to celebrate love and to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. how do we do it? i think you lovers out there can attest-- sometimes it takes a little compromise. leave me out of this. you've sung about pubes twice! -hey! hey! stop it! you started out so sweet, and now you're downright perverse. excuse me? -i beg to differ. no, we were perverse from the very beginning. yeah, that "red or blue" thing was actually a debate about the color of our privates by the end of the night. and the "little fight before going out for a bite," that was about whether to buy a bigger butt plug. -and i still think we need it. oh, you would just love that, wouldn't you? all right, get out of here! my asshole is lonely. you're having trouble conceiving? -oh, i see. you're having trouble conceiving the premise of this telethon. i hope you're having a sexy time snuggled up with your special someone. go ahead, give them a little kiss right now. i'll wait. -that's nice. what is that sound? it couldn't be. bolton. kenny g. -surprised to see me? not as surprised as i am to see you still haven't cut your hair. and i, in turn, am surprised that you have. for in our locks lies the strength of samson. you were once a brave warrior in the tribe of long locksmen, which is a thing! -that was a long time ago. i have forsaken that life. i'm a short-hair now. you and so many others. meat loaf. -billy ray cyrus. all four dudes in metallica. yanni hanging on by a fucking thread! i'm doing a toot for each one of the dudes. yeah, i got that. -you betrayed your true nature, and for that, i shall destroy you. fine. let's do this. whoa! chill! -i meant with music, man. what is with you and the guns? what gun? i'm sorry. can we stop? -you just killed a cat. i don't think so. no, you threw your gun, then we heard a bang, and then a cat screamed. no, you're mistaken. -i can see cat blood all over the wall! that was there before. the wall covered in cat blood was there before? can i help you with something, kenny? prepare yourself for the duel of kings. -may all mortals rejoice as we regale them with the music of the gods. not bad for a horn man. well, isn't that funny? what started as a duel ended in a chill jam sesh. they always do. -i'll take my leave of you. but remember always the word of the locksmen prophecy: "only in your darkest hour shall your locks spring forth." cool. well, see you later, kenny. -okay! assholes. if you're looking for the perfect gift for your true love, look no further than custom chocolatiers. i paid a visit to their workshop in solvang for a sneak-peek. people like things personalized, tailored to their own specific tastes. -we can do that. we do do that. why don't you tell me a little bit about your girlfriend, and i'll use that information to design the perfect assortment? well, let's see. she's a bold woman. -she's very strong, very passionate. she's refined. she sort of enjoys the finer things in life. oh. but she's not afraid to have a little fun. -she's worldly. worldly? does your lady like nougat? hmm. i'm not sure. -all right. we've got these candies. you've seen these before. you can inscribe whatever you want. we custom-make these. -you can do: "hey, sweetie, i love your style," "ooh, mama, you're really turning me on over here," "yo, hit me up online, i'll shoot you an email sometime, honey." every example i've given is too big to fit on a little candy like this, so maybe just use what we have already. -does she like toffee? i don't think so. she's sweet, but she's kind of got a dark sense of humor, dry. you've got to give me something to work with. i'm looking at my kit. -i've got walnut, coconut cream. i've got some cherry cordials. well, she's very cordial. you know, why don't we do this? let's just do 12 plains. -oh, okay. when you present this to her, there's different ways you can do it. okay? you know, just make it seem bigger than you. you could a tough-guy version. -eat that! there's chocolate in there! there's also magic, which is, like-- it's floating like this, and in cgi, you can just take-- this can all come out. first, get this as a still, and then it floats. -so, you're just kind of, like, "hey, sweetie. happy valentine's day." okay. another service we have here is, if you got a box of chocolates from someplace else and it's all jumbled up, you don't know what's inside, we have an ultrasound machine. so, bring it in, and i will be able to identify it for you. -and this one is... plain. all right, that's everything. i'd like to offer you a complimentary chocolate water. oh. and we're all set here. -so, that is 12 plains. oh, it's all melted. oh. so, even though it's custom chocolatiers, we strongly suggest that you choose one of our standard options. it makes it much better for the both of us. -why did i go all the way to solvang? they didn't even cut to me once during the entire video. isn't tonight fantastic? looks like a lot of you are making babies out there, which is great. but don't stop now. -you know, i was just thinking how-- hey, bolton! this show fucking blows, man! hmm. it seems as though a group of punks have infiltrated our studio. -so, you don't like my show, huh? yeah. it sucks ass! i guess you think it's kind of hokey. no duh! -perhaps even a little uncool? shit yeah! well, i think i have something a bit more up your alley. hit it! he's not even gonna drink it! -no, you've got to hit that spin, michael. i'm trying. you're not trying hard enough. do it again from the top. you've got to hit that! -don't fucking mess with me! you get this spin like your life depends on it! five, six, seven, eight... no. you lean in, then you point. -point, then lean in? no! lean, then point. think of those fucking punks out there and make them scared of real rock and roll! don't touch the piano! -what are you, fucking crazy? ! you tease it. you tease it. you don't press the keys. -make those punks fear you! give it to me! give it to me! and when they come for you-- and believe me, they will come for you-- this performance will be the only thing to prove that michael bolton is cool! how do you actually know the punks will show up? -oh, they'll show up. they always show up. pick up the milkshake, take two steps, put down the milkshake. do not drink it. stop! -you've only got four weeks, people! and then we step across and we see there's a second guitar photo. why? to fuck with their heads. after much consideration, i have decided that the dancing musical note will be played by... -alan. oh! it just seems like there's such a small chance of punks barging in. there's still a chance! you have one more time, one more go at this. -so, what do you punks have to say now? that... was... badass! that's what i thought. oh, romeo, my man, i like your style. and now, here to tell us about the future of romance, virtual reality expert dr. vince harbert. -thank you, michael. yes, my team and i design virtual erotic simulations, and i brought one for you to try right now. jack me in, doc. all right. let's get this on you. -all right. this is incredible. watch. what have we here? hello. -i've been waiting for you. wait, what? don't forget your pill. my pill? she means your cialis. -i have to take cialis in virtual reality? yes. we found it was beneficial to add some real-world obstacles into the vr. it makes the simulation more immersive and, well, sexy. okay. -hmm. where are they? maybe i'll try these drawers. let's find those pills. hurry, baby. -i want you so badly. come on. oh, got 'em. all right, there they are. what? -empty? you need to get a refill at the pharmacy. i have to refill the prescription? yep. okay, it looks pretty normal. -oh, wow. why, hello, mr. bolton. well, this is an interesting turn. it certainly is. i'll get your prescription. -okay. thank you very much. what? $22.50. all right, now you have to pay. -get out your wallet and swipe your debit card. declined? give me a break. well, maybe try a different card. i only have the one. -okay, why don't you just pay cash? you've got your cialis. let's head out into the parking lot. get in your car. start the engine. -back out slowly. oops! you spilled coffee on you! oh, god! pull out of the parking lot, and we're gonna get on the expressway. -and now you're home. let's get this party started. i missed you. come here and give it to me, big boy. your wish is my command. -hey! hands off my wife, you son of a bitch! ow! what the hell are you doing? i'm sorry, michael, but that's my wife that i put into the simulation, and i'm not just gonna sit here and let myself get cucked by the likes of you! -get him! ow! oh! yes! ow! -oh, baby, it is so hot watching you beat up michael bolton. all right. yeah. i'm just gonna leave you to it. yeah, baby. -yeah, baby! have you tried saying things to each other that are not trite and mundane? you know, perhaps thinking outside the bun. no, i made that payment last week. no, i gave-- how'd you find me? -music is the language of love, y'all, and sometimes the right tune is all you need to get you dancing and romancing. but why stop there? yeah. i, for one, have worked up an appetite. please welcome celebrity chef chef roy. -what have you got for us? well, mike, i'll give you a hint, and it rhymes with "bake." i'm talking cake. i have a brand-new line of chef roy's bakery delights available at your local grocer, including this limited-edition valentine's day pink champagne cake. well, we've got a few lucky volunteers to help us give this thing a taste. -come on out, guys. dianne, ben, susan, darryl. let's dig in, gang. get in there. all right. -wow, roy, you have really outdone yourself. mmm. that's good. ah, look at susan. she's going, "um, can every day be valentine's day?" -i am like that. i am. and look at ben. ben's going, "cake? uh, yeah, i don't mind if i do." -i've been nailed. oh! look at dianne. she's all, like, "i guess today's my cheat day." good one. -oh, look at darryl. he's going, "cake? i think i just busted a nut in my pants!" yeah. what? -even michael's going, "hey, if there's gonna be cake, i'm gonna do more holiday specials." that's true. dianne. look at her. -look at dianne. she's going, "well, i guess i'm off my diet today." i guess so. look at darryl. he's going, "and i pretty much just shot in my pants. -not joking." no, i'm not like that. ben! ben's all, "me tarzan. you cake." -look at darryl. he's going, "cake's good and all, but i'd rather be jacking it!" darryl, please, that's not appropriate. i didn't say that. you were thinking it. -susan's going, "okay, that just got weird!" michael's going, "hey, i didn't sign on for this!" i really didn't. and look at darryl. he's going, "cake's good and all, but i'd rather eat dianne's butt!" -darryl! what the hell, man? everybody, please, please. i'm sorry we only have cake, darryl, and you can't just eat my butt. darryl, what do you have to say for yourself? -i'll tell you what i have to say... it's all true, okay? yeah, i thought it all! chef roy, he got every dirty detail: busting in my pants, wishing i was jacking it, wanting to eat susan's butt! -wait, he said you wanted to eat dianne's butt, not susan's. newsflash: it's both, baby. piece of shit! ohh! -such a piece of shit! well, i want to thank chef roy for sharing his delicious pink champagne cake with us. happy valentine's day from me-- celebrity chef chef roy. okay, those baby-making numbers are coming along nicely, but we need 75,000, so keep at it, everybody. do you want to disappoint santa? -okay, then get out there, find a woman and impregnate her. okay, love you, too, dad. okay, bye. "stand by me." what a tune. always makes me think of the important people in my life, the ones i can depend on. -and nobody exemplifies that more than my own twin brother michael fulton. hey. hey, bro. oh, man. i'm michael's identical twin brother, and we are exactly alike in every way. -ain't that the truth. and the thing about twin brothers is we've always got each other's... backs. nice job, bro. thanks, michael. as you may have noticed, i'm not the best singer. -that happens with twins sometimes. certain talents go to one brother, and other talents go to the other brother. and i guess you could say that michael got the voice. he also got the looks. he also got the physique. -and he also got the charisma. he also got the normal amount of testicles. uh, mike? yeah, bro. uh... what do i have going for me? -i mean, i've just been racking my brain, and it just keeps coming up blank. i mean, am i just a fuck-up? of course not. you're-- you're a great driver. oh, my god, you're right. -i am a good driver. i forgot. i'm not, like, a professional or anything. i'm no racecar driver, but i'm pretty good when i'm driving my scion. sure you are. -you always keep your hands on the wheel. i know. ten and two, just like our parents taught us. yeah, rest in peace, both. i'd love to stick around and sing several more songs, but i've got to go see a doctor about my strep throat. -it took me forever to find a guy that i actually like. the rest were all foreigners and, like-- okay, off you go. can i borrow some money for a cab? i wrecked my scion. -yeah. drunk driving. there you go. thank you. my twin brother, everybody. -our next guest feels at home in the classiest place to meet a lady: a dance club. ladies and gentlemen, baby archer. aw, yeah! thanks, mb. -dancing is a great way to meet people, am i right? but so often, i hear: "baby archer, i'm too dumb to dance." you dumb motherfucker, anybody can dance, even if you're dumb as shit! you know, a lot of people said there's already a cupid shuffle. -but guess what? i wrote this song in international waters. i hopped on a goddamn boat and evaded the irs like i'm i. ron hubbard, okay? is he all right? whoever booked this guy is fired. -bolton, get up here! try it with me! get your beautiful black ass up here. you handsome silver fox. mmm! -you're like a heterosexual anderson cooper. god damn. now let me show you a cool-ass dance you can do. none of that was the kupid shufle. get off my stage! -now! leave! thanks, michael. i want to thank everyone in hollywood. i want to thank show business in general. -it's just great. i love you. have a good night. happy valentine's day. blow in her ear. -that's good, yes. oh, i like that, too. no, i'm sorry, ma'am, but for our purposes, it really doesn't count if you do it in the butt. i believe in two things: one, ghosts. and two, that there's somebody out there for everyone. -for me, it's my carmela. i'll never forget how we met, waiting in line for the pirates of the caribbean attraction at disneyland. what started as a swashbuckling flume ride designed to make even the most jaded thrill-seekers say, "ahoy," became the starting point of our love. and it's not just her body i adore. -i would be incredibly attracted to her even if she was just a mind, a mind that didn't have arms or legs or skin and just somehow floated around in a jar and communicated with me telepathically. this is all just a fancy way of saying i'm gonna ask carmela to marry me. the love of my life will soon be my beloved wife. wow! we just reached the 50,000 mark. -we do need 75,000, though. we're so close. we need to keep going. if you need tips... hello? -wally's mattress. yeah, i'm sorry about that. hang on. hello? wally's mattress. -you want to return your mattress? because of the lifetime guarantee? you ruined it during lovemaking? wait, hang on one second. hello? -of course you'll get a refund. it's a lifetime guarantee. hang on one second. sorry, sir. wally's mattress. -you poked a hole in it? how is that even possible? wait, one second. sorry. wally's mattress. -ma'am, i'm sorry. i just want to know, how is everyone breaking their mattresses having sex? it doesn't make any sense. i urge you all to take your lover to bed and pound that mattress until there's nothing left. oh, my god. -he's going to destroy us. pound that mattress. i've got to stop him. when it comes to singers with two first names, you just can't beat ray charles. i want to sing one of my favorite songs of his, and while doing it, you know who i'll be thinking about. -carmela, this one's for you, baby. well, speak of the angel. it's carmela. "michael, i'm sorry to do this over text... but there's someone new in my life. it's a man, and he's changed everything. -in fact, he's inside me right this very second. i hope you understand. goodbye." what? what-- -what is this? why would she tell me this? there's someone inside her right now? no! i've got to get my shit together. -coming to the show right now is my good friend casey wilson. hello, michael. great to see you. welcome to the show. well, it's valentine's day, my favorite day of the year. -what other day of the year do i get to read so many cards from admirers? you know what i'm saying, michael? oh. okay. anyway, let's take a look at this one from molly. -she says, "happy valentine--" michael? mike, you want to read some cards? mike? everything okay, buddy? -mikey baby? michael b.? what is out that window? mikey! he's coming towards me. -i think i'm gonna go. i need more pictures of horses! what are you doing tomorrow? uh... well, i might go shopping for an avocado tree. for a tree? -an avocado tree. why not just buy, like, five avocados? well, because if you have tree, i'll have 10,000 avocados. if you had to estimate, how many avocados would you actually eat? i didn't go to school for math. -what did you go to school for? advertising. looks like i just found my way in. i have a forked tongue, like a snake. hey! -son of a... no! no! no! yes. -oh, i love you, too. love is a lie! pull yourself together. i know you're hurt. but those numbers have stopped cold, and the only way to bring them up is for you to go out there and sing the most romantic song of all time. -"nessun dorma." "nessun dorma," puccini's most powerful, beautiful aria about love. but it's too dangerous. every time someone performs it on tv or in the movies, someone's assassinated. you know, like mission: -impossible, rogue nation, the sum of all fears. those are just movies! this is real life. so, do it! -you're right! santa! curse that damn song. don't you dare die on me, santa. hey, michael, you mustn't worry about me. -i'll be fine. just caught one in the old bowl of jelly. michael, you were... always my favorite son. i'm your son? ! -what the fuck is going on? ! michael, we have to do something! we're flatlining! oh, michael, we lost one. -only in your darkest hour shall your locks spring forth. holy shit. peak '90s bolton. uh-huh? oh, my god. -listen to this. he's doing it! i think we're gonna make it. did we make it? michael, you did all you could. -we just ran out of fertile women. carmela. but what are you doing here? i thought you'd left me. no! -why would i leave the father of our new baby boy? that's what your text meant? there's a new man in your life and he's inside you? yes! i can think of no better way to phrase that. -holy shit, michael! we did it! whatever this is, we saved it! unbelievable! i'm sorry. -i didn't mean to kill santa claus. i meant to kill you- michael bolton. ho ho... whoa! of course. -the santa clause! what? i don't understand any of this. tim allen. disney. 1994. -wally killed santa. now he is santa. that's right. and, michael, you've done it. you've saved christmas. -i'm so happy this happened. rock on, bolton. all hail lord boltron, the king of valentine's day. you're free to go. oh, hello. -you just caught me looking at my little black book. a lot of names and memories in this. yes. carrie. oh. -rebecca. amelie. you're so sweet and innocent. princess mononoke. unforgettable. -and, of course, the french connection. what a car chase. yes, this is my little black book of movies. oh, boy! that sound can only mean one thing: -the dancing cupids! so fucking good. this is my favorite part. watch this part. i actually had to talk to the execs about keeping them. -they were thinking of cutting them. i said, "you cut them, you cut me, 'cause i'm gone." previously on scorpion... cabe, you need a place to crash for a couple weeks, right? as of now, happy's apartment has a vacancy. -he's been alone for 20 years. he's desperate for company. last night, we played cribbage until midnight. this is my campaign manager, allie jones. my name is gabe, cabe. -cabe, cabe gallo. why don't you ask her out? she's at least ten years younger than me. everyone's at least ten years younger than you. as gross as it sounds, she's warm for your form. -walter, cut the crap. you're still in love with paige. i never liked you because you never made me feel welcome. you will never be a real member of scorpion. um... -take the job your friend offered. no, it's-it's in the middle east. this is not necessary. walter, you didn't drive me away. i made this choice on my own. -man, it is hotter than a jalapeno's armpit out there... come on, toby, sweep that broom! no way! it's going too straight! i call shmockery! -nope. no sham. no mockery. just bristles coated in an ice-melting bacteria i cultivated myself. -violation. you ever see the movie gus about the field goal-kicking mule? if the rules books don't explicitly forbid it, anything is legal. now, look at this. hoo! -winner, winner, fermented fish dinner. mm-mm. shouldn't you guys be prepping for today's job? already have. the interstate waterway will be tested and cleared for use by sundown. -turbine will have enough thrust to push the waters through the pipeline from spokane to san diego. all this talk of pipes made us realize that by running chilled calcium chloride through copper tubing underneath a small pool of water, we could create a curling pond. you guys are distracted too easily. hazard of busy minds. batter up. -w-wait. huh? what is that? little device i whipped up. dial in a few bits of data, and... -no brooming necessary. what are you so smug about? machine did all the work. yup. and i built the machine. -phooey. dingo's. what happened to winchell's? tim lived next to winchell's. now tim's on his way to the middle east, so we're back to dingo's. -how do you screw up a donut? you know, tim's departure doesn't only affect snacks. i ran some numbers, and he was integral to 29% of our cases. no small loss. not really. -well, i'm not saying that for any personal reason. it's just a fact. everyone on scorpion is replaceable. there are other top mathematicians, behaviorists, engineers. we could find a younger and stronger federal agent. -a-and, truth be told, there are three people with higher iqs than mine... four, including ralph. so, my point is that we are all substitutable parts of a machine. great pep talk, coach. hey. sorry i'm late. -tim's flight was delayed, so i spent a little time with him at the airport. no problem, kiddo. you okay? me? sure. -of course. she's not okay. all right. what do you got, cabe? all right... -uh, so tim got off all right? other than the flight delay, of course? yup. well, there are numerous factors that affect the accuracy of airline departures... i'm sure there are, but we should really get the team going. -it's a... long way to the desert. of course. work. yeah. well, i'm glad to hear everything's back to normal. -back to normal? uh... how exactly do you feel everything's "back to normal"? well, scorpion is back to the original roster, and we have a-a case to handle, and tim leaving, as he told me, was his decision. so, i calculated that you wouldn't be angry at me... -my calculations were off, weren't they? just a bit. but tim told me he wanted to go. tim said what he had to say because of an uncomfortable situation you created. you effectively forced him out. -so, with respect to things between you and me, things are definitely not back to normal. just got a call from my contractor. my house is officially mold-free. so you get your couch back, and i'm finally out of your hair. oh. -okay. we're still, uh, in the middle of that game of stratego. yeah, i know. i figure i can come by one night, we can finish it up. sure. -great. um... i, uh... this belonged to my mother. she wore it on her wedding day. -and there's that tradition: something old, new, borrowed, blue. thought, when you married the doc, that if you wanted, you could wear it. it's okay if you don't want to. i love it. thank you. -just a little something for lettin' me shack up with ya. speaking of shacking up, isn't that the cutie that's hot for your booty? oh, man, i'm starting to sound like toby. how do i look? how you doing? -good. thanks. i-i'm so sorry to bother you at work... ah, it's-it's no bother. i just wanted to drop off the guidelines for the upcoming debate between mr. patel and sylvester. -you can review them. oh, that's not necessary. if you say they're fair, they're fair. oh, okay. um... -i thought we'd have it at the elk's lodge? oh, that one near the new italian place? yeah, yeah! that's the one. in fact, i've been wanting to check it out. -i hear they have a fantastic vegetable lasagna. oh, i love italian food. with a last name like gallo, how could i not? yeah... oh, okay. -um... well, i'll see you soon. have a good time today. "have a good time today." good time at what? -what the hell does that mean? i don't know. i-i got nervous. she was begging you to take her to that italian joint. no. -pretty sure that was... just a conversation between two adults. all right, adults, let's hit it. cabe, she wanted you to ask her out. you suck at girls. look at all that hardware. -sweet. cold northwestern water traveling 1,400 miles underground to drought-ravaged southland. government finally got one right. speaking of "cold travels," paige didn't say a word the entire drive out here. -she's pissed. yes. i'm aware. can i please plug my fan into one of your dashboards? i got an extension cord so i can share the breeze. -a fan? no way. victorian ladies fan themselves. it's 110 degrees out here. when your sweat evaporates, it cools the skin by naturally taking the heat with it. -yeah. along with your manhood. okay. so, we need to run a full diagnostic before the contractors come back on monday, so, happy, run a line from the water truck to the pipe intake. we need to prime the pump and run the turbine. -i'll calculate the energy output. i'll record solar panel function. and as the federal agent assigned to oversee this federal job, i will observe from this chair, with my eyes closed, while i enjoy iced coffee in the sunshine. paige? -do you want to help record my observations of the turbine when in operation? sure. middle of the desert, and i still felt that cold front. oh, you're not helping at all. water pressure fluctuation's at less than five percent variable. -copy that. coil resistance is stable. check. energy output is a-above normal. hmm. -well, that's because the temperature's running hot. actually, very hot. uh, happy? come check this out. copy that. -hey, there's a bigger draw on that solar panel than expected. it's 'cause the turbine's running hot. what's up? turbine's hot. so are you, by the way. -love that rubber boot, mechanic outfit combo. let me guess. save it for the honeymoon. if you could. uh, there's your problem right there. -the rotor's coated in copper. government specs don't mention that. copper in this heat gets a lot hotter than an alloy. it's warping the pins. it's getting louder, too. -okay, i'm gonna shut it down so happy can check each piece, just to be safe. hey! how am i supposed to get any sleep out there with all this high-pitch noise? oh, that sucker exploded. looks like a shard of copper snapped off in the velocity and friction. -we'll have to find it if we're gonna fix it. where is it? um... guys? cabe? -cabe? cabe! you okay? cabe? oh, my god. -== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man no! that's too long! he's bleeding from his stomach. tell 'em a small piece of shrapnel sliced his abdominal aorta and he's bleeding out! -did you hear that? get here now! set him down gently, gently. nice and easy, nice and easy. cabe, listen to me. -can you understand me? i feel dizzy. cabe, i'm gonna have to slow your blood loss, so i got to do something that's a little personal and a lot of gross. i'm gonna stick my fingers inside your wound to find the bleed, and then remove the shrapnel. oh, boy. -oh! you're hurting him! you're hurting him! if i don't find the bleed, he's gonna die in seconds. god! -okay... and here is the culprit. oh, okay. i got to find the cut. got to be in there somewhere. oh, i got it! -oh, man! that's cut clean through. um... happy, give me that binder clip that's on the government specs. oh, man, this should work. -that's not sterile. sly, i'm wearing cabe on my hand like a puppet. sterile was gone a long time ago. i've almost got the clamp on, but that aorta is pumping strong and it's hard to control. and i have... got it on. -oh! bleeding stopped? he's okay? he's stabilized, but that clip isn't gonna hold long. when's the help get here? -lancaster scrambled a chopper, but it's 250 miles away and they said it only goes 150 miles per hour. 90 minutes to get up here, 90 minutes to get back down there. that's three hours before cabe even sees an operating room! his artery's still oozing. -he doesn't have three hours. walter... yes? help me. okay, okay, okay, okay, so let's break this down logically. -the blood is being forced out of the binder clip because the heart is pumping out blood from the cut artery, so we need, we need... we need to stop the heart from beating. they taught us at harvard that stopping the heart is actually bad for the patient. something about the brain needing oxygen. what if the brain doesn't need any oxygen? what if we bring his body temperature down so low that it slows his metabolism down so he's not using any oxygen? -suspended animation? that's a long shot. well, take it from a gambler, sometimes a long shot's all you have to bet on. we're in the middle of the desert. how do we get the body temperature low when it's a million degrees out? -guys, he's shaking. he's in shock. guys, we have to figure this out like yesterday! sly's stupid fan! what about it? -evaporation! i can use the water tanker's intake manifold to create a super-cooling evaporation vacuum. what the hell does that even mean? it means we're gonna make him an ice bath. it would have to go down to 58 degrees. -can you get it that low? it'll be tight, but i think i can pull it off. okay, so happy freezes cabe, which will stop his heart. the next step is repairing his aorta. i'm a shrink; -last time i did vascular surgery was in med school. that was on a cadaver. there's no way to keep cabe's temperature down on the helicopter. he'll have to be warmed up within the next 90 minutes. and we can't warm him up if his aorta's still torn. -he'll just bleed out again. walt's right, it has to be repaired while he's still frozen. doc... you can do it. you're damn right, i can. you were in my corner when you taught me how to box. -i'm gonna be in your corner now. okay, first thing i'm gonna need is super glue to hold the artery together. gasoline and styrofoam will get you a really strong adhesive. do you have styrofoam? no, but the polymer in styrofoam is in polystyrene and i have that in the packing foam of my hand drill. -next thing i'm gonna need is an elemental reducing agent, something like hydrogen sulfur gas. for what? well, we can't just reheat cabe like a frozen dinner. shock like that'll damage his heart so badly, it'll kill him. the hydrogen sulfur will protect his major organs when awakening from a traumatic state. -this is a geologically active area; 20 miles away, there are sulfur hot springs that i saw when i was mapping out the route. that'll give us what we need. cabe, we're gonna pull this off. but you need to stay strong, okay? okay. -the last thing i'm gonna need is a blood thinner. when cabe's heart stops, his blood is gonna clot. when we rev him back up, if one of those clots hits his heart, it'll kill him. sly, you're gonna hate what i'm about to tell you, but you have to head back to that outcropping of rocks we passed half a mile back and catch a rattlesnake. venom is a natural anticoagulant. -for cabe, i will catch one with my bare hands. i got to borrow your pliers to pick up the snake. on my truck. okay, we all know what we need to do. let's get it done. -hey, don't cut it too short, i need about ten feet of hose. got it. i'll fill it! all right, i got my end, lay it down. -almost done, how much longer? almost full. look out! lay him in carefully. one wrong jostle and that clip pops off his aorta. -all right, cabe, we got you set. any minute now, happy's gonna do her thing. just need to stay calm, keep your heart rate down, buddy. okay, i'm ready. put the nail can on his wound while i freeze the water. -how does this even work? truck's intake will pull in air through this hose. that'll pull the air from the upside down bucket creating a vacuum that will pull vapor from the water beneath it, creating high-speed, powerful evaporation. which sly said is the cooling process. exactly. -an engine as strong as the truck's will super-cool the water pretty fast. dramatically fast. that's how we'll freeze him. cabe, this is where the rubber meets the road. when we start this process, your body temperature is gonna drop to unnatural levels. -your heart'll stop. odds? five percent... tops. i trust you kids. do it. -i'll place the can when the water starts to freeze. i got to get the thermometer. hey, roomie? we still got to finish stratego, right? cabe, i'm gonna do everything in my ability to bring you back. -if not... it's not your fault. cabe, you cannot leave me alone with these guys, okay? it's been a pleasure working with you. all right, start it up. okay. -oh, it's working, it's getting colder by the second. his temp's dropping. god, his lips are turning blue. that's good. that's what we want. -guys, making a cabe-sicle is pointless if we can't safely reheat him. you have to go get that hydrogen sulfide gas. okay, all we need to get is the wet vac, wire, an oil funnel and that battery from happy's truck. sly, we're all doing our part over here! how's the snake hunt going? -i found one. i think he knows i'm after him. he's kind of under the ledge of a bridge. you can lure it out. you've got an iq over 180. -you can outsmart a snake. toby, how much colder does the water need to get? i'm not sure how much the engine can handle in this heat. he's at 90. we got to drop another 32. -keep it going. okay, copy that. i'm prepping 40cc's of ice water that's about 48 to 50 degrees. i'm gonna shoot it right into your heart. last few beats of your pumper will spread it through your arteries, but once i do it, you're gonna lose consciousness. -all right, buddy, here we go. we won't let you down, cabe. not good. what the hell? ! -happy! get the engine up and running! we need him cold! not warming up! what do you think i'm about to do? -happy, what happened to the engine? blew the hose. i'm working on it. is cabe frozen yet? no, and without this engine running, he won't get there, he'll just bleed out! -i said i'm working on it! i'm swapping in a hose from the backhoe. oh, damn it! what? it's cracked from the sun. -i can't start the engine again. what do you mean you can't get it running again, happy? you can fix anything! not without a hose, i can't! aah! -damn it. i have an idea. i'm gonna make a hose. you need to refill the radiator! get me a bucket of water! -roger that. happy, what's your plan? working on it. rubber boot plus zip ties equals rubber hose. nice. -nice. oh, ah, damn it. why did science have to make water so heavy? how's that hose coming? it's strong but i'm not sure if it's strong enough! -these boots were made for walking, not pumping. wow, a joke from happy in a tense situation. you must be really scared. you're not? i'm scared to death. -cabe's death. i'm done. me, too! happy's gonna give this a shot. what if it doesn't work? -cabe dies. not gonna happen. come on. come on. that's my girl. -and we're back! happy's evaporation vacuum machine is sucking as much air as it sucked before, but in this case, sucking is a really good thing. sly, all this is for naught if you can't get that venom. i have a plan. i'm going to use sensory jujitsu to lure this reptile out of his nook, and then nab it. -i'm gonna use real jujitsu on you if you don't get that rattler! i will. let me explain. rattlesnakes don't hunt using vision. they feel vibrations and sense heat. -so i am putting my cell phone on vibrate, and running multiple apps to heat it up, and putting it in my sock. remind me to never borrow your phone. then i am pulling a string from the sock so i can dangle this fake kangaroo rat in front of the snake. i am ringing the dinner bell and counting on 150 million years of limited evolution to take over. here, snakey-snakey. -boss, even with that venom, if we don't get the hydrogen sulfide to protect cabe's organs upon re-entry to the real world, we're still screwed. okay, we're almost at the hot springs. three more miles. that's good, 'cause we're ahead of schedule. cabe's body temperature's falling fast. -we'll be ready. keep us posted. it's chilly in here, huh? hmm. strange, given how hot it is outside. -guess the a/c really cranks. if only cabe's makeshift pool had such an effective refrigerant. all right, so i know you're upset about tim... walter, the only thing i'm thinking about right now is cabe and how serious this is. understood. -i mean, someone has to think about it. i'm sorry, did you mean something by that? we all had a chance to say good-bye to cabe in case we never see him again. a moment to tell him what he means to us. you told him it's been a pleasure working with him. -any idea how messed up that is? we were pressed for time. please, walter! i've been working so hard with you for 2½ years now. i thought you'd been making progress, but for every step forward you take a hundred steps back. -well, it has been a pleasure working with him. and that's the last thing you wanted to say to him? toby has a shot at saving a man who is bleeding to death in the middle of the desert, but i don't know if there's a cure for what you have. for all i know, you're suffering an immense inner turmoil over cabe potentially dying, or you truly feel nothing. i-i want to help you, walter, but i don't know if you can be helped. -and that... makes me so... sad. uh, there's a turn right past those rocks. the hot springs is just around the bend. doc, time check. this thing is gonna overheat any second. -just a few more seconds, 'cause this tub's gonna do the opposite. it's freezing! sweet. i'm gonna siphon some gasoline for the super glue. 58 degrees! -we have a cabe-sicle! i was gonna say ice-ice cabe-y, but "cabe-sicle" just came to me. and you kiss me with that mouth? ! not if you don't shut up! -is it working? looks nice and gluey. all right, it should hold. all right, let's do a dry run on this wet, fake aorta. i'll push the edges together, you spread a nice, thin layer over the cut line. -i'm familiar with how glue works. it should dry fast. whoa. check that out, it's holding. that'll survive any chopper flight. -okay, so much for the test run. you ready for the main event? don't mind me. i'm just a fat kangaroo rat who's lost in the desert. sure hope a big ol' snake doesn't come up and eat me for lunch. -seriously? i'm full of iron and proteins. num-num. num-num. this is ridiculous. -you should be jumping at the chance to gobble up this little fella. the only reason you wouldn't feed would be because you're pregnant. but in that case, there should be a daddy snake down here with you. oh... it seems daddy snake is up here with me. this is a problem. -got it. drop your comms out for now. we don't need the others listening in to what's about to go down, in case it doesn't work. hey, cabe, we're gonna patch you up, warm you up, and you're gonna wake up, deal? he doesn't feel like talking. -well, he does seem a little blue. you kidding me? i'm nervous. i don't know if this'll work. uh, and... -uh, there she is. one binder clip coming up. ah. that's so gross. okay, time to put those sticky fingers to work. -what? me? i need both hands to pinch the artery tight. you apply the glue. you know how i am about blood. -i do. now, how are you about your friends dying? all right. there you go. now, slide 'em in right over my fingers. -slide 'em down and find the artery. there it is. you got it. it's just like putting your hand inside of a pumpkin, but instead of a pumpkin, your hand's inside cabe's body cavity. -oh, god. slide your fingers down a half inch. okay, you're right on the cut. spread the glue all over. don't be stingy. -it feels like cold spaghetti. good news, you're done. remove your paw from the federal agent. okay. whoa. -i'd fist bump you, but our hands are covered in guts. hey. huh? i'm really proud of you. i just hope the others are getting what we need. -oh, boy, this is an issue. excuse me, sir, we don't want to... you know, um, and we need to collect some hydrogen sulfide for a friend. yeah, sorry, folks, private property, nudists only. if we don't get what we need and get back to our team soon, then a man could die. look, i've heard every story in the book from perverts that wanna get all sneaky-peaky without undressing themselves. -but you're not naked. i just work here. drop trou, don't come in, i don't care. uh... what are you doing? -you want to save cabe? nude up, genius-boy. 70 degrees. the ice is melting. this isn't good. -we have to start thinning his blood before he warms up too much. why don't i just start the truck and re-freeze him, then? but there's nothing on the chopper to keep him frozen. he has to be alive, with his heart beating, when that chopper takes off. so we have to start warming him up, but even a small blood clot's gonna kill him. -where the hell is sly with that snake? take it away from me. ooh, ooh, take it far away from me, please. take it away! oh... -i gotta be honest, i didn't think you'd catch one of these critters. that thing is untrustworthy. he snuck up on me. you're a rattlesnake. use your rattle! -all right, doc, how are you extracting the venom? we're not. the snake's gonna intract venom. you're gonna let him bite cabe? no, they're gonna kiss. -yes, sly! he bites cabe, the venom goes in, and gallo doesn't die from blood clots. how about dying from a snake bite? no, big guys can handle big doses. besides, a chopper from a desert hospital will have antivenin. -why are you hesitating? because it's kinda messed up to force a snake to bite your friend! would you let me ease into this, please? okay. come on, you diamondback bastard. -come on, i'm serving him up on a platter. oh! perfect shot. uh, uh... your assistance is greatly appreciated. -walt, cabe's got a shot of vitamin rattlesnake. where are you with the hydrogen sulfide gas? collecting it now. okay, lower your electrode into the water. i am going to pass a small electrical current from my electrode down the wire to your electrode. -this will split the water into oxygen and hydrogen, which will combine with the sulfur in the water to make hydrogen sulfide bubbles. just hurry. that dude's trying to get a peak at my... bubbles. okay. starting the current. -you may notice a mild tingling sensation. that's just the weak electrical current stimulating nerve endings. great. didn't think this could get more awkward. oh, it... stinks like rotten eggs. -oh, yeah, that's the hydrogen sulfide. it means the electrolysis is working. oh... you can really feel the tingling, can't you? just stop talking. -understood. mesquite will strengthen the flame. and give cabe a nice, smoky flavor. it's warm. he's almost thawed. -couldn't let him get to 78 degrees without the venom, and now we can't let him get to 98 without those hot spring fumes. walt, paige, eta. a minute away, and i've got a tank full of stinky gas. i hope she's talking about the shop-vac. no, the hydrogen sulfide collection went off without a stitch. -uh, i mean hitch. it went off without a hitch. no problem whatsoever. he's at 92. let's put out the flames and let the steaming water gently warm him until he reaches 98. -then, the normal autorhythmicity of his heart will kick in. it'll beat on its own, and he'll be okay. not if walt and paige don't get here. look. help me with the shop-vac! -coming! he's zooming past 94. get that hydrogen sulfide over here! come on. come on, come on, come on, come on. -okay. all right. i'll pinch his nose. you create a seal around his mouth. okay. -happy, pass that gas. valve is wide open. oh, that's strong. oh, i can't believe cabe has to ingest this stuff. up to 96 degrees. -perfectly on target. another degree or two, and his heart should start beating on its own. incredible, we fixed his aorta, thinned his blood, gassed up his lungs. this is really gonna work, isn't it? i can't believe we did it. -we did it. uh, guys. guys, toby, cabe's temperature is up to 99 degrees. that can't be right. at this temp, his heart should've restarted by now. -no, the thermometer says 99 degrees. cabe? cabe? we got to get him out of here before he gets too hot, or his heart will never restart. why isn't this working? -cabe, wake up. you can do this. you're gonna leave me after we've become friends? still nothing! i swear to god, if you die, -i will not wear that pin just to piss you off. come on, cabe. you got to come back! he's not responding. quick, get out of the way. -get out of the way! come on, cabe. come-come on, cabe. come on. come on, cabe. -come on! come on, cabe. come on. let's go. let's go! -come on, cabe! come on, cabe! manual cpr won't do it. our only chance of getting cabe's heart beating again is the application of an electrical current. how? -i don't exactly see a portable defibrillator anywhere. no, but we do have electricity. okay, quick. lean him against the metal rim of the tub. just do it. -careful, he'll drown! no, he won't. he's not inhaling. he's dead. is she planning to do what i think she's planning to do? -she's gonna throw the toaster in the bathtub with cabe. okay, everyone back away from the toolbox! please let this work. cabe? cabe! -still nothing. please don't let this happen. i got a lub and a dub! ah! lub dub! -lub dub! it fixed... it's tired, but steady! cabe's heart's beating! oh! ah! -welcome back, cabe. oh, man... heaven's full of nerds. well... looks like your ride's here. sir, sorry. liability rules dictate only family can come aboard. -i am family; he's my father. okay, get in. how am i doing, kid? surgery went well. -i'm, uh tracking your cardiac function with my own oxygen demand formula and ejection fraction composite, so i foresee a full recovery. so much for a relaxing day in the desert sun, huh? i should tell you that the others, they're concerned, so i should, um, uh... bring them in if you're feeling up to it. sure. yeah, okay. -i'm sorry i-i... i'm sorry i didn't use appropriate words before we stopped your heart. as you know, i have i have issues expressing myself. it's been more than "a pleasure" working with you. as i said in the garage, we could find another federal agent, but but, uh, we couldn't find another cabe gallo. -makes all the difference. it's okay. i know you care about me. it's much more than that. i love you, cabe. -i love you. i love you, too, son. oh, boy, look at this crew. thought we'd bring our sunny day to you. we brought you some iced coffee. -i think i'll try to avoid ice for a while. makes sense. hey, roomie, you might hear that i yelled at you a lot when you were dead. i was just motivating you. it's okay. -i assume you were all going a little nuts out there. thank you. i'm gonna go share my, uh, medical data with the doctors. walter, are you okay? of course i am. -i can't decipher you. just when i'm sure you're an android, you're not. i know you get frustrated when i take steps backward, but i don't mean to do it; i just do. there are parts of my brain that work so much worse than others. -i know. you're still mad with me about tim, aren't you? i am. i have every right to be, but right now it's not about you or me or tim. it's about... -cabe, so let's just... put it aside for the night and appreciate he's still with us. agreed. you can talk to the doctor later. let's try to keep cabe company. you know, i was thinking, after all i've been through, that maybe i should ask that allie girl out to that italian place. -superlative idea. there you go. get back up on that horse. i'm fine with it, but i'm reserving final approval until i determine whether she's good enough for you. maybe i'll wear one of those hawaiian shirts on our date. -bad idea. we're in these nightmares because our clothes are wet and sunbaked at the same time. oh, yeah, speaking of which, why did you guys come back from the hot springs in pristine condition? huh? what? -no. what? clothes are dry. and you have to get into the water in order to use the electrodes. well, the low humidity of desert air dries fabric incredibly quickly. -you should have white salt lines on your clothes from the sulfur. where are they? holy skinny-dips! you went to a nudist spring! you two saw each other's parts. -we did what we had to do to save cabe. uh... it was very... professional. and naked. it was so sunny out there. -you could've burned your schmeckle. now i wish i got hit with the shrapnel. okay, well, uh, i'm gonna go to kovelsky's. get some food. hey, walter, paige, can i get you guys anything? -melons and sausages? cantaloupes and wieners? i will kill you. tater tots and salami? ooh. -it's very amusing. i had to die for an hour to finally get some peace and quiet from you guys. == sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man previously on american ripper. there's no document in the chicago record for holmes between july of 1888 and early 1889. -that's the exact period that jack the ripper was committing his murders in london. my objective while i'm here is to channel that original jack the ripper investigative team. these are sections of catherine eddowes's shawl. we will take a reference sample from you to compare with any material we find on the shawl. i never thought i would actually be evidence in the case. -we'll see you in about a week. these are some of the known aliases that holmes used. that is going to make him all the harder to track. did you find any proof of holmes traveling to london? yep, there are names in the ledgers which may be him. -wow. in 1888, britain's first serial killer, jack the ripper, went on a killing spree in london. he was never caught. but i know who the ripper is. his real name is h.h. holmes. -he was america's first serial killer. and he is my greatgreatgrandfather. here we have h. holmes. former cia operative, amaryliss fox, may be on the verge of a major breakthrough in the investigation to prove the identity of jack the ripper as the con man and serial killer, h. h. holmes. he is coming back from liverpool to new york. -an examination of ships manifest charting transatlantic crossings has revealed a familiar name. traveling from england to the united states after the fifth and final jack the ripper killing. h holmes, 36, american. was that the only one? no, there are a number of people in here who could be him. -herman holmes, 31. this is extraordinary. this is him leaving liverpool and coming into philadelphia. we also have some of the names that he uses as an alias. in this era, there is no id document required to travel. -so, an alias could be used. here, we have another one. alex gordon, 24 years old. that's one of his most common aliases. and this is departing from where? -liverpool back to the us. what month and year is this? this one is in december 1888. december 1888. that's just a couple weeks after the final ripper murder. -this could be the proof we need to place him in london. i never expected to find so many of holmes's names and aliases on these manifests. and the timing is eerie. mary kelly is the last known victim of jack the ripper in november of 1888. if holmes was on a ship heading back to the states in december of 1888, that could be the reason the ripper killings stopped. -so, how long would this passage have taken? the passenger ships range between the really fast express liners taking five, six days and slightly slower ships, seven, eight, nine days. there's enough traffic to justify not a line, but many lines of steamers. from cities like. liverpool, southampton, and london, the largest port in the world, -britain dominates nineteenth century global trade. the advent of the marine steam engine transforms transatlantic travel. by 1870, sail ships are being replaced by steamships, which offer amenities. including barber shops, social halls, and private bathrooms. wealthy tourists enjoy luxury accommodations on the upper decks while millions of transient immigrants are packed into steerage on their way to america. -if you wanted to travel for pleasure, you would travel in the summer. traveling in the north atlantic in winter is a rotten journey. if you're traveling in december, you clearly have to travel. you have a reason to travel. if that's getting out of town, that's a good enough reason. -if he is jack the ripper, given the timing, december 1888, he's the most wanted man in britain. if not in the world. jeff, i've got some great news for our investigation. boy. on these travel manifests, you can see here herman holmes. -31 years old. wow. this is amazing. to have evidence of holmes's travel. yeah. -and then, here, line 40, his alias alex gordon. again, american. and the timeline there puts him returning to the united states in december of 1888. which, if that's holmes, could explain why mary kelley is the last murder victim in london. -incredible. you would expect to see the ripper kill again. only we have holmes's alias returning in december to the united states. and then the murders stopped. my greatgreatgrandfather used aliases to get away with his cons. -and, at the time of the ripper murders, he was 27 years old. about the same age as the passengers listed on this travel manifest. these records can't prove he was in london. but they open up a strong possibility. okay, let's review what we've learned so far. -as we progress, the evidence is increasing that the killer had anatomical knowledge and some surgical experience. in addition to having this specialized instrument, the surgeon's knife. so far, our london investigation has turned up at least three key pieces of evidence that link h. h. holmes and jack the ripper. one, both killers had surgical skill. in particular, an expertise in dissection. -two, both killers render their victims unconscious before killing them. and, three, contrary to the ripper mythology, the killer was premeditated. he planned his killings in advance to avoid the police. just like holmes did in chicago. we know jack was an educated man. -he had scoped the area out. he knew the policeman's beats. 15 minutes was the time it took the police to get through their beat and return to the square. so that means he was skilled enough to conduct what were essentially dissections in under 15 minutes. and we know that holmes had that anatomical skill. -and we see this textbook escalation of violence here. mary nichols on august 31 whose throat is slit and her abdomen's opened. but no organs are taken. you have annie chapman on september 8th. her abdomen's opened and her uterus is removed. -catherine eddowes on september 30. her abdomen's opened and not just her uterus, but also her kidneys removed and her liver is nicked. she also has facial disfigurations for the first time. and then you have mary kelly on november 9th. and, as you can see from the image, there's almost nothing in the body that's left undisturbed. -the face has been so disfigured that she was really only identifiable by her eyeballs. the final ripper killing was committed indoors, which may have inspired holmes to consider, "how do i replicate these killings back home?" so, i don't think it was a coincidence that, just a year after the ripper killings, construction of the murder castle was in full swing back in chicago. a hotel engineered for him to murder and dismember his victims in secret. -the travel manifests suggest that holmes was here in london. but we need more evidence. maybe we can use a paper trail to pin holmes down in london. amaryllis, we should take a look at those famous ripper letters. yeah, let's get to work. -i feel like these go on forever. yeah, i mean there are many miles of shelving. we've got a thousand years of history here. the national archives features a collection of documents and records from more than 1,000 years of british history. jeff and amaryllis are here to examine two of the most infamous. -the only surviving writings of jack the ripper. everybody knows about these letters. they've been all over the world. but, obviously, to have them here in the original in the national archives is fascinating. as the ripper killings gripped london between august and november of 1888, the press turns the public's fascination into an obsession. -printing every lurid detail of the case below increasingly sensational headlines. the london police force, known as the metropolitan police, receives more than 700 letters in this period. all claiming to have been penned by the ripper. but, out of hundreds of letters, only two are considered authentic. each containing facts of the case never shared with the public. -and known only to the killer himself. so, this is the famous dear boss letter. dear boss, i keep on hearing the police have caught me. they won't fix me. not just yet. -i am down on whores and i shan't quit ripping them. i gave the body no time to squeal. the boss. central news office. london city. -clearly, that's an intention on the part of the person writing this letter to bring it to the attention of the media. jack communicating directly to the public. yes. when during the murders was this done? this was sent after the annie chapman murder. -postmark was september 27. three days before the catherine eddowes murder. the dear boss letter is written and mailed during the 19 day period between the ripper's second and third kills. it points to a critical detail about the eddowes murder before it happens. i saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle to write you. -but it went thick like glue. and i can't use it. ha ha. next job i do, i shall cut the lady's ear off. it mentions the removal of the ear of a victim. -in dear boss, someone claiming to be the ripper writes he's going to remove a victim's ear. the paper doesn't publish it. and, on the night of the double event, someone takes catherine eddowes's ear. so, that's what makes the police believe this letter is authentic. yours truly, jack the ripper. -it is the first letter to be signed jack the ripper. so, this is where the name was coined. this is where the name was coined, yes. and when did he write this second letter? the day after the eddowes and stride murders, they received another letter. -it seems to be from the same person. this is the saucy jack postcard, as it's known. boy. in this postcard, again, addressed to. the boss at the central news office, he refers to himself as saucy jack. -he's, again, signed at the bottom here jack the ripper. what are those smudges on it? you can see there are smears of blood on it, as well. no way. there are also prints here. -is there a chance that could contain dna from the killer? you can see there are smears of blood on it, as well. is there a chance that could contain dna from the killer? the infamous jack the ripper brutally murders five people in the fall of 1888. leaving behind few clues to his identity. -now, on the hunt to prove the theory that american con man h. h. holmes is the ripper, jeff mudget and amaryllis fox are face to face with the only evidence thought to be a direct link to the killer. a letter and a postcard stained with a bloody fingerprint. has that ever been analyzed? -that could be a huge piece of physical evidence for our case. well, unfortunately, this is a facsimile. this is a copy? yes, it's been stolen. it's been lost for decades. -crime is sensational. many people have pilfered the evidence. unbelievably frustrating that the one piece of evidence is gone. so, with this letter he writes... i wasn't codding, dear old boss, when i gave you the tip. -you'll hear about saucy jack's work tomorrow. number one squealed a bit. i had not time to get ears for the police. thanks for keeping the last letter back till i got to work again. jack the ripper. -same sort of syntax. it looks like some of the handwriting, as well. what's interesting about this letter is that he mentions the ear again. but he says, "i didn't have enough time" to take the first victim's ear." -the saucy jack letter is significant, because the author references dear boss, which, at the time, hadn't been published in the press. and, when the killer says he didn't have enough time, it's a hint at what's called the double event. murders three and four, which take place on the same night. in both cases, the author reveals information known only to the police and the killer himself. i'm down on whores and i shan't quit ripping them. -reading both of these, the phrasing sounds really odd to my ear. does it read oddly to you, as well? it's a strange letter with a strange tone. but maybe some analysis to do. although i'm not the person to help you. -you need a forensic linguist. so, perhaps, you could seek advice from one. let's add the letters to the timeline. they're pretty interesting. especially the dear boss. -it was the first time jack the ripper was used. and he gives it to himself. i mean, if we believe he wrote this, he's named himself jack the ripper. and this letter, it seems like jack is really the first serial killer to bypass the police and scotland yard and use the press, which was, in 1888, the equivalent of social media, to talk directly to his public. almost brand himself and kind of create this legend. -the way that jack the ripper boasts about his crimes to the police and the press reminds me of the way holmes boasted about his crimes while writing his confessions in prison. it seems both killers have a need to feed their egos. they both demand respect and acknowledgement beyond all else. next we have saucy jack. if you look at what he's saying in these letters, this is someone who's playing with the police. -who's lording over them the fact that he hasn't been caught yet. for me, all of that adds up really strongly to suggest that we need to go deeper on establishing whether or not this could have been holmes. so, i'm gonna look into the handwriting and linguistics analysis. but, in the meantime, we still have the dna testing on the shawl. this might be the key to the entire investigation. -last week, jeff secured access to one of the few surviving pieces of physical evidence in the case. two small patches of shawl believed to have belonged to the ripper's fourth victim, catherine eddowes, and allegedly recovered at the crime scene. scientists at king's college london are analyzing the material on the chance that the killer's dna may have transferred to the shawl and survived. waiting for these results has been really nerveracking. -because, if the killer's dna remained on the victim's shawl from the night of her murder, this is the evidence that could prove, once and for all, that my ancestor, h. h. holmes, was jack the ripper. we've obtained a y profile from you. that's a profile from your male dna. your male dna will be the same as your male ancestor's dna. so, that y male profile will not have changed in over 100 years? -if it has changed, it'll be a sm-a small change that we will be able to recognize. so, we need to compare that dna profile with anything we have found on the shawl. now, we have found some male material on that shawl. we have found some male material on that shawl. jeff mudgett is at king's college london to find out whether dna traces recovered from a piece of evidence in the ripper case are a match to his own dna. -a link would be conclusive proof of the theory that his greatgreatgrandfather, is jack the ripper. whose dna was it? what we found, there is a prominent male on that shawl. there are a few additional, very low level, components. most of the dna, 95% of it, has come from one male. -okay. that male profile does not match with yours. it's not mine. no. so, what about the remaining 5%? -what conclusions have you reached? that also does not match you. now, the fact that that male profile doesn't match you does not discount any of the theories at all. because we don't know whether the person who perpetrated this crime has had any contact with that particular bit of scarf. i was really hoping the shawl would be the key to unlocking this entire investigation. -and the fact that there isn't a dna match is very disappointing. but it just means we're going to have to keep on looking for that elusive piece of physical evidence to prove my theory. walking in, i was scared to death that you were going to say, "yea, the y is yours, jeff." it would have been very exciting. 'cause it would have closed down a question that has been around for over a hundred years, which we would all like to know the answer to. -amaryllis. hey. well, there was dna on the shawl. no. my heart was beating a mile a minute. -she basically told me no. it didn't match. it wasn't related to your blood profile at all? not at all. zero. -but we always knew the likelihood was pretty small. what we found from those dna testings is that there wasn't dna left behind by h. h. holmes. or that he did and it didn't make it through 125 years. i'm glad we tracked it down. i'm glad we know that we have a couple unidentified dna profiles. -in case there's some other direct evidence to compare them to down the road. and i think our next step is to decode the ripper letters for clues that could tie them to holmes. jeff and amaryllis consult two of the uk's top forensic linguists to dig deeper into the mysterious origins of the ripper letters. they've spent the last week decoding the writing and its author. so, when you work in forensic cases, how are you able to reach your conclusions? -well, it's a matter of looking at the language and comparing different kinds of dialect or two different samples. and we have quite an extensive background in working in forensic linguistics and speech analysis. forensic linguists study patterns in the written and spoken word across cultures and through history. analysis of phrase usage, frequency, and style can identify the time period of the writing and the geographic origin of the author. is it a problem these letters were written back in the 19th century? -you have sample data for that? the best written samples are letters. it could be newspapers, magazines, novels. that's certainly true with 19th century english, which we have a very large database for. we're really curious about these letters. -the language in them seems so strange to the modern ear. i'm curious as to whether it's because we're looking back from so far in the future or whether these would have seemed strange to an 1888 era, as well. so, when you look at these letters, what do you find? so, here's the interesting thing. the language doesn't identify as a british writer. -in terms of literature of the time, the phrases in the letters were american. the language doesn't identify as a british writer. hunting for answers in one of history's greatest mysteries, jeff mudgett and amaryllis fox are working with top forensic linguists to decode the origins of the only surviving written evidence in the ripper case. they're looking for clues to the killer's identity hidden in the language of the infamous dear boss and saucy jack letters. -attempting to prove that the man known as jack the ripper is america's first serial killer, h. h. holmes. what makes you so sure the writer of these letters was american? so, we went back into the british parliamentary record using existing databases of written language. in 1880, there's a big difference between american english and british english. interesting. -my greatgreatgrandfather, h. h. holmes, was born in the states. and, if he did commit these murders, failing to disguise his americanism in these letters could have been his first mistake. well, i think the dear boss letter struck a lot of people as having features that people thought were american. what jumps out at you when you look at that? dear boss. -fix me. shan't quit. let's start with fix me. it's pretty old fashioned sounding. it's used in a quite particular way in the letter, right? -it's something like catch me. that certainly occurs in american english from that time. but also occurred in british english. so, if we look at the use of fix followed by a pronoun, these are the patterns we find. explain the significance of the top number. -these are percentages for each date. what percentage of the words in the database matched the pattern plus a verb. so, the numbers are very small. and you can see, in the present day, there is a bit of a difference between american and british english, but, interestingly, if we go back to 1880s, i would say, on that particular feature, the fix me, the evidence is pretty neutral. -this one didn't help as much. so, it was really important to look at some of the other alleged americanisms. what did you find looking at the rest of the letter? so, the main one i want to look at right now is quit. i shan't quit was picked out as one of the phrases that was supposedly american. -and it's interesting, with quit plus verb, there's a big difference now between american english and british english. wow. the american utilization of that word is over twice as much as in england. yeah, this is the crucial gap here. -people on this side of the pond tend to say stop doing this. stop doing that. not quit doing that. really? how about boss? -well, as you can see, very small usage in britain. but rapidly increasing use in american books starting around about 1875. and becoming much, much higher right through the period that we're interested in. whoa, so that's a significant gap between those two. and then, of course, we haven't even mentioned right away. -a british person would have been more likely to say straightaway at the time. and an american more relatively likely to say right away. straightaway, to me, it does sound much more english than american. if i were an investigator while the murders were being conducted, would you suggest looking for an american suspect? well, there has to be some explanation for the american features in the letter. -when i decided to ask if you'd help me with this investigation, i did so knowing you would have an open mind. and i know, when you first started, you were skeptical. has that begun to change any? you know, it's my job to be skeptical. -and i'm very fact based. with a case this cold, there aren't a whole lot of remaining facts. so, for me, the jury was still out until there was sufficient evidence. and i think it still is, to be honest. but, when you hear one story, you hear two stories, you hear three stories, you can dismiss them. -but there is this moment where the scales tip and the confluence of evidence begins to point in one direction. i want to subject these letters to handwriting analysis when we get back to the states. but, based on the linguistic analysis alone, i'm convinced that the writer of these letters was raised in america. whether of not that person was holmes, though, is still unclear. -i'd like to learn more about the list of suspects that scotland yard was looking at at the time and see if there's a link to holmes. one of my old law enforcement contacts set me up with a former london police officer who specializes in this part of the case. we've got everything ever written on the ripper in this room. i was a police officer for 30 years and i've been reading about the case since 1961. stuart evans is an expert on the ripper case and has compiled an extensive collection of official police reports. -his research examines known riper suspects and the techniques used to follow up on leads. having written police reports myself, you get a whole different view of things. how reliable do you feel like the investigations were at the end of the 19th century? the police, it was primitive in terms of modern technology and the way we look at things today. you didn't have regular serial killers in those days. -but, once you've got this brutality, they began to realize, perhaps, there was something out of the ordinary. the jack the ripper murders are the first in history to be classified as the work of a serial killer. the 1888 case is so groundbreaking that it sets the model for future police investigations. though it introduces techniques such as crime scene photography, still in use today, at the turn of the century, there was no such thing as forensics. there's no fingerprinting, no dna technology, and no blood typing. -instead, detectives hunting the ripper relied most heavily on eyewitness accounts of the attacks and their aftermath. across the five murders, a total of 13 eyewitness reports still survive through police notes published in the press. the police did door to door inquiries to look for witnesses. and questioned people who were working at night. they took witness statements. -all they would get is a description. and so, they operated on descriptions. scotland yard looked at over 80 suspects. then the press recorded their statements in shorthand and they appeared in the newspapers. would you mind sharing with us copies of those reports? -no problem. in my experience in criminal profiling, it's very rare to have 13 eyewitness accounts of a suspect. especially when it's operating in secret and in darkness. so, this could be a huge break for us. put simply, there weren't that many suspects at the time. -when i say that, i mean real suspects. most of these scotland yard suspects were quickly eliminated. the one that really first caught attention as a suspect was pizer, john pizer. that was the arrest of pizer being illustrated there. nicknamed leather apron. -he worked in leather and wore a leather protective apron. he was threatening street prostitutes and bothering them. they were obviously frightened of him and that was good enough. hey, we got a suspect. he was fairly quickly exonerated. -with an alibi or... yeah, yeah, he was speaking to a policeman on the night of the murder. pretty strong alibi. that's a pretty good alibi. it's pretty good, yeah. -but the name leather apron, which hit the press, then it stuck until a better name came along. who was the next major suspect? we know from a report done by chief inspector swanson that an american was taken in. really? they were questioned by the police. -how did they find this guy? well, this lady ran a lodging house, 22 batty street, on the night of the double murder. somebody came into the house about two am. which would tie in with just after the eddowes murder, which a was committed about 20 to two. so, the time fits perfectly. -and this person was a lodger she'd known. next day, her husband, going to the lodger's room after he'd left, saw a black bag. the lodger was a medical man. and, on opening it, discovered a long sharp knife and two bloodstained cuffs. wow. -and do we know who the american was? the lodger was a medical man, an american. the story was that an american lodger at 22 batty street left a bag with a weapon and bloody cuffs in it and never returned? while investigating details of the jack the ripper case, jeff and amaryllis uncover a critical clue, an eyewitness account suggesting the killer, like holmes, is american and a doctor. -detectives call him the batty street lodger. a mystery man who becomes one of the leading suspects. so what happened to this doctor? well, nothing more was heard of the american doctor with the suspicious black bag. the story went that the police kept watching and waiting for him to come back, but he never came back. -so, everything is a big unknown. but the amazing thing is, 25 years later, we find mention of the same landlady and the same lodger. i have seen him again this week. she says she thinks it's the same lodger she had 25 years later. then she says, "he is now in practice" -in the northwest of london." if the suspect known as the batty street lodger was seen again 25 years later, then it rules out holmes. because he was convicted and executed in 1896. so, either the eyewitness was mistaken or holmes is not jack the ripper. the story of this american doctor stuck and the american became a popular suspect at the time. -did they arrest anyone they thought was the batty street lodger at the time? well, the one named american suspect is a doctor francis tumblety who hailed from rochester, new york. he was an american quack doctor. they used to call them snake oil doctors. he arrived from america in liverpool in late july 1888. -he was arrested in whitechapel on suspicion of being the whitechapel murderer. so, this is an american doctor with a known history of swindling and selling snake oil medicines. he was a good suspect. and the description, as it went, a yank in a slouch hat. he was tracked down. -and, when they had him detained, they couldn't charge him with the murders, because, although suspected, they've got no hard evidence against him at all. he was released on bail. and, as soon as he got bail, he got on the next steamer back to the states. he arrived in new york on the third of december. so, he got away. -scotland yard had the american police watch tumblety get of the ship. so, they were definitely watching out for him at the request of scotland yard. i mean, there's a lot pointing at tumblety. but no hard evidence. so, they only arrested him because he was an american doctor who fit the description. -that's pretty dramatic. there's a lot pointing to the fact that scotland yard believed that an american doctor fit the bill. whether it was tumblety or anyone else. yea i mean, the evidence is there. -it's in the press. it's in the police records. if you were presented with another american doctor who had similar education, similar preoccupation with anatomical scams, would that seem like a viable suspect to you? well, i don't think anyone could be ruled out. -it sounds like the suspect they called. the batty street lodger was their best suspect. and he got away. the closest they came to figuring out who that lodger was was francis tumblety. tumblety is the really interesting suspect. -to my mind, the most interesting thing that came out of the stuart meeting was tumblety. an american doctor who was a scam artist who had been in london selling snake oil remedies. to me, it's really pretty eerie how similar that description sounds to holmes. i agree. it also fits that the killer was an educated man of high intellect. -to me, the tumblety description is incredibly reminiscent of holmes. and yet, too old to be jack the ripper. so, i think it opens up a lot of questions. the police reports that stuart shared indicates tumblety was in his 50s. but every eyewitness account, without exception, says that the ripper was in his late 20s or early 30s. -it's highly unlikely that 13 different eyewitnesses were all wrong. so we can safely conclude that the evidence doesn't point to tumblety. so it doesn't seem unreasonable to think that maybe it was a different american doctor. one that was in his late 20s, early 30s. i mean, my question is whether they were right in suspecting an american doctor. -but just had the wrong doctor. deep into the investigation to prove that jack the ripper is an alias of dark mastermind h. h. holmes, a series of revelations are beginning to connect the dots between the two killers. these latest discoveries are significant for our case. we have the ripper letters suggesting the writer was american. and now we know the detectives who were hunting the ripper were actively looking for an american doctor as one of their most likely suspects. -each of these clues supports the possibility that h. h. holmes and jack the ripper are one and the same. but what we don't have is any evidence that places holmes at the scene of the crime. you know, jeff, we have 13 eyewitness accounts from the time. and, back in the day, they obviously just had sketch artists. so, we're left with line drawings from the age. -but, today, there's amazing cutting edge technology that can create a composite photograph from them. so, once again, we're trying to use modern forensic science to clear up confusion from 1888. so, i managed to track down a forensic artist who can use all of the details from the eyewitness accounts so that we can see a photograph of what jack the ripper might have looked like. police sketches have been a standard law enforcement tool for decades. particularly in criminal investigations. -but modern technology now helps to create more accurate images than ever before. forensic artists create mugshots by pulling from a digital database containing thousands of the most common human features. a technique used by agencies like the fbi and cia to help identify suspects from eyewitness reports. i'm very excited to be here today to see what a photograph would have given us had we had that science at the time. absolutely, yea. -could you tell me a little bit about what your methodology is? usually, i start with descriptions about facial features, overall appearances. then i'll take some pieces of pictures and then paste them together. then create a face from that. we do have 13 eyewitness accounts from the police records at the time. -for a cold case, it's actually not a bad number of descriptions. well, let's get started, if you don't mind. israel schwartz, he witnessed the elizabeth stride killing. mary ann cox witnessed kelly's killing. james brown who was one of the witnesses for elizabeth stride's killing. -george hutchinson described a full face. broad shouldered with fair skin. complexion pale. description of a blotchy face. joseph lowend also says a fair complexion. -mary ann cox says a fresh complexion. and was described as "respectable looking." very surly looking. in terms of age, israel schwartz saying about 30. -william smith, 28. young man from 25 to 30. george hutchinson describes him as 34. in terms of height, five foot five inches. about five foot seven inches tall. -five foot five inches. five foot six inches. anything about eye color? george hutchinson did describe jack as having dark eyes. dark eyes. -dark eyes usually suggests dark hair as well. we have dark hair being noted in israel schwartz's description. joseph lowend also says that he had brown hair. hair, light brown. gonna get roughly an average sized nose. -okay, what about any facial hair? that's one of the features there's a little dispute over. the first eyewitness account is he had a small brown mustache. the second account was a black mustache, but was otherwise clean shaven. mary ann cox, the witness for kelly, she said he had a thick carroty mustache. -do we want to put a hat on him? it's one of the most consistent points in these eyewitness accounts. there's not one that doesn't mention a hat. we have small peaked cap. holmes's face has been branded into my mind's eye. -from portraits in history books. i've scoured his face looking for pieces of myself in his image. and now, watching jack the ripper come to life before my eyes, i wonder if it will be a face i recognize. you know, i brought with me some images that we have of h. h. holmes. -if i give you this, is it possible to bring them up so we can look at them side by side? of course. yeah, let's take a look. all right. holy... -that's really creepy. if you took this composite to a judge, he'd issue a warrant. next time on american ripper. it's straight out of the mind of edgar allen poe. it's definitely not out of architectural digest. -if properly excavated, there's the potential for history changing evidence. we're looking at a treasure trove of body parts. wow, look at that. you're still left with very recognizable human bones as the remains. they started finding bones that appeared to be a six year old child. -if you're a serial killer and you're trying to get rid of bodies, it would be much easier by encasing them in cement and dropping them in the chicago river. whoa. there's so many of them. this is an indication that things have been dumped here. i can beat reiner. -he's going down! no, no, no, no, no! look out! eren! *attack on titan (dubbed)* season 02 episode 08 sync corrections - by srjanapala -title: "the hunters" you're kidding me. wake up, commander. you'll catch your death sleeping out here. tell me you didn't drink all this yourself. -god. sir, please. keep tossing it back like someone half your age, i'll end up putting you in diapers. doesn't sound so bad to me. -old men like to be doted on. what's the situation? well, several patrol units were sent out. not many titans between the first and second defensive lines. and the few that did crop up seemed like they were pretty far apart. -if hannes and the advance squad have managed to follow the wall without incident, they should be getting back before too long. fairly straightforward operation. they'd have run into the unit from krolva about halfway and turned around for home. it's a safe assumption they encountered few titans, if any. if wall rose had been breached, sightings wouldn't be so random. -ah, commander erwin. is it true what i hear about you catching a troublesome little mouse? well... technically, yes. not that it's helped us. hm. -well, at least those goons in the interior might start using their heads. might even be forced to reconsider their belief system. morally bankrupt as it is. seems they have. look over there. -military police putting in an appearance where titans aren't just an academic problem. can't believe we didn't see one. you really sayin' there weren't any? i know, right? it's unusually quiet out there. -wonder if they're still alive. what a joke. i thought this was s'posed to be an emergency. yeah. we just come here to sit on our asses, or what? -hey levi! where you hidin' all the titans? problem? you seem eager to be eaten alive, solider. sorry we couldn't make that happen for you today. -plenty of opportunities outside the wall if you're lookin'. lots of scouting expeditions. i'd be more than happy for the help. we could all fight titans together. well, you know. -there's our work in the interior, so... the advance squad is back! go! tell commander pyxis! no breach as far as you could tell, correct? -as i thought. but, sir! a situation has developed! you see, we ran into another group on the way back to trost. it was the scout unit led by section commander hange. -there were recruits from the 104th cadet corps with them, none of whom had equipment. this may sound crazy, sir, but three of them were titans! hang on sec. seriously? you mean like there were three... more? -but... who were they? who, damn it? actually, i, um... jean, calm down. what happened when their titan forms were revealed? -the scouts engaged the armored titan and the colossal in battle as best they could, sir! but by the time our unit arrived on the scene it was... too late. i'm sorry. oh, man. what a mess. -count your lucky stars we were all the way up here. rest of 'em got blasted by steam and debris; nothing much they could do. how badly is mikasa hurt? well there aren't any wounds to speak of. -i think it's just a concussion. could be worse. you eaten? come quick! eren's in trouble! -what kind of trouble? it's those three bullies again. they took the bread i just bought. i... i told eren about it and... -i didn't want him to go! wait! give it back. you have dirt in your ears or somethin'? like i said, i already ate the whole thing. -tasty. but that was three days worth of food for them! you gotta be kiddin' me. those table scraps? knock it off. -you'll make me feel bad. pay him back what the bread was worth! whoa! what are you doing? hey! -and not in the art of peace. what's going to happen... if our sexual desires, built up on the fields of the earth, remain unappeased because of intractable, wantonly misled women. ah, yet another one. go back right away. and remember your oath. -by artemis, immediately. when it's broken i'll be back again. you want to break the oath? not the oath, no. the flax. -i left it unbroken at home. unheckled, if you will. i'm going down. lysistrata, for god's sake, let me go home! to evan. -what do you have there? a boy. a boy. sounds so hollow. metallic. -we'll find out in just a moment. a helmet. that's your pregnancy? do you think the women can endure? i'm skeptical. -don't underestimate the collective will of women. even the southern folk? women are women. goethe said, "and to cure from one point". he sure has a lot to say. -thank you. you are all lustful for men. you are shortsighted and don't understand. the spouses, albeit exhausted by war, can't sleep due to restlessness. they wander around, as if urged on by their thirst for love. -a thirst that can't be quenched with wine. hey, ladies, stand firm. you only need to last a while longer. oh, zeus! an oracle has told me we will win. -if we stay united. and if we aren't, we will be scolded. we're wanton...and lustful. that's what they'll say. us! -that's why, with the gods, i'm subdued. don't give up. i'm awaiting word from lampito that, in sparta, too, the men, as ravenous as ours, are now ready for a peaceful discussion. a man. -a man! there's a man running up, stricken with lust for aphrodite! my husband... kinesias. my kinesias. -bewitch him, nod at him, love him. do everything. as long as the oath permits it. yes. let me keep vigil. -don't let him see her right away. let him fidget first. let's enhance the anticipation. stop! who are you? -i'm coming from the rehearsal. i ran away. you're just in time for your scene. a man... i was rehearsing with my watch in my hand. -get out of here. another man. a slave with the wine. who are you, woman, who's chasing me away? sentry! -sentry? well then, sentry, call myrrhine for me. sentry! and tell her the war gear and beard are gone. myrrhine? -say, who are you? her husband. you? mm hm. kinesias. -at your service. welcome, my dear fellow. your name is not unheard-of here. yeah. since your wife says it hourly. -my myrrhine! aphrodite? yes. whenever the topic is men, your wife praises you right away. kinesias is a man. -the others are not. are you really such a showpiece of a man? if you don't believe it, convince yourself. i'll get myrrhine. no. -no, myrrhine. myrrhine. i don't want to rob myrrhine. i'll go and call her. i'm suffering from horniness. -guard! myrrhine! myrrhine! why are you hesitating? sweet wife! -why don't you come out? i have no pleasure in life anymore, since there's no woman in the house. if you don't come, i will kill myself on the spot. myrrhine. i brought something for you... from cyprus. -what did you bring? it doesn't get any quieter than this. it's already very quiet. she is much more beautiful than she ever was! god knows! -you never looked this bewitching. tell me... how long have you done without aphrodite's nightly game? i will avoid it forever, if you don't finally make peace. what did you bring me from cyprus? -i'll show it to you, when you're in the mood. i love you. i won't deny it. what a weak woman i am. come. -she is much prettier still, ever since she has started sulking like this. you seducer. where's the little spot? there, where no one will see us. there? -thus our desperation for love escaped us in sounds. but then...then i will return unclean to my companions. you can wash yourself clean in the little creek over there. that won't wash off my breaking of the oath. the blame will be mine. -the husband can take on the culpability of his wife. take your hand away. leave me alone. how can you treat me like this? badly. -you follow your women there and make a martyr of me. you're torturing yourself, too. uh, i think i'll get a jacket. leave it. by apollo, no! -in your ardour, you might catch a cold. lie down and close your eyes. i'd like something soft. the pad. you don't need anything soft now. -after this hard war it should be soft, my dear. how worried is the dear woman. come, let's have a kiss. we want you first, we want you first... i should replace that cozy, smooth cot for you. -ah, how it smells like women! myrrhine. i'm just getting a pillow. i don't need a pillow! but i do! -the pledge is to me as if it were heracles. we want you first, we want you first.. ah, it's so smooth and soft. and i'm so tired from running that i lie here gladly. thank god. -then i have gotten everything, except you. now you can undo my bra. but listen, you keep your word. don't forget peace. ok, if it doesn't work otherwise. -we'll think about it. the...the blanket is missing. what for? i don't want to live here. i'll be right back. -that broad is killing me with her particularity. should i rub you with cream? no! you come here now! no. -ow! without cream i don't want you. i won't let you cream me. well, good, then put cream on yourself. that's a condition of mine. -the cream doesn't smell good. rather, it stinks. it's not nuptial. how stupid! that's the cream to get rid of vermin. -now i have creamed myself with it, and... now i'm starting to feel sick. by zeus, you stink! what am i supposed to do? oh, i can't take it! -poor thing. what shall i do? where will i find a woman at this time? any woman. a cow maiden. -you must find me too obnoxious, huh? where? there, on the screen. in that role. uh uh, but here. -it's not what you think. the state laws against which the women are rebelling, and the marital duties they insist on refusing, and setting a goal of laying down your glory-soaked weapons with deceit and spite. as rebels, you should have brought them down with force. we didn't want to rape our own women. we're not forcing the love of our women with spears and man-eating encounters. -the highest council from athens, and i, executive administrators of decisions that occupy you, we have emphatically deviated from your considerateness. which is so sentimental, that one could infer you are colluding with the women, and you happily let them force you to lay down your weapons. because you're war-weary. and the lechery that causes you to willingly let the flag fall, is a heavy disgrace for the state and nation. i have indicted all women for aiding and abetting enemies of the state, sparta. -the women from sparta, whom i was guarding today on the range, are not there anymore. like them, i was overpowered by sleep. overpowered. yes, yes. when my conscience finally awoke me out of the sweet sleep, the women were gone. -did that happen just now? no, it was hours ago. i was scared to tell you. they judged other women in sparta by their own standards. they gave up hope. -they say the spartans are restrained and cool. men and women. and i depended on that. and indeed also on lampito. she must have known that she isn't to be relied on. -maybe...maybe she only came here to fool you. you mean i was a victim of her cunning? that she treacherously used me to help the spartans win more easily. i don't believe it. i don't want to believe it. -that would be the death of me. new york. i'll go to my room. put the call through. hopefully he won't accept. -not if he listens to his wife. those are anti-american activities. it's ungerman. i must be able to express my opinion somewhere. in the newspaper, i cannot. -i won't allow anyone to forbid me to talk here. that's the exclusive right of my chief editor. i safeguard the rights of my boss. are you possibly my boss? no, thank god. -well then. please have some consideration. take consideration. pfft! my boss says that, too, and throws my interview with geisesberg into the garbage. -too panic-stricken about the nuclear danger. when you're dead and the congealed blood in you no longer flows. our wombs dry up, and so does the milk in our breasts. stop the killing and create life. and what is the news from new york? -whether or not i'm coming? yes, and? yes, and? if my husband, for whom i have waited for 6 months, really goes away, and dies in the bloody slaughter, and not once have i embraced my lover... -kalonike, my fleet-of-foot friend, run to the observatory, look to the south and see if lampito is nearing. and report, immediately. if we keep watching without action, as the war-timidity spreads like an insidious disease, and infects us... since sparta is not afflicted with such an evil, it might overrun us. the strength of the women is... you see, the smart lie is that the women of sparta also cripple the will of their men, like our disgraceful women do it behind our backs. -maybe it will happen after all, only we don't have proof of it. you say "maybe". i'm telling you, those who won't be infected by the vibrant pandemic, will be ready, so that when sparta's nerve is poisoned, it will be the right time to attack while it's weak. with double the force and under the protection from the gods. do you want to wait until the cowardly, deceitful sparta does to the love- cherishing athenians what i am now pressuring all of you to do? -we idiots would be sitting here and waiting for sparta's freedom messengers, who would never be sent and would never arrive. then we would be ripe for an inglorious downfall. everything is pointing to that, although not without a gap in the argument. whether she was hired by secret messengers in sparta, or was outwitted. because she refuses to convert, she must accept the punishment. -high treason follows her. bring her down tomorrow. but don't tell her why. find a pretext. sadly she's right, so the councilman wants to liquidate her. -for a political action, it's very inconsiderable. everything is still. it would be a pity for them. the whole world is still. as if it were empty of people. -only my fear is awake, and asks, "where is lampito?" one victim. we are accustomed to totally different numbers, huh, mr. kienast? i would like to see what the kind of state you support looks like. and how does it have to look so you can be against it? -for 34 years, you haven't been. you have your luck with the government women. you like everyone, except for one. and you like her. no, not even her. -i don't like anyone, but especially not the one you liked so much. lysistrata! be quiet. we can't even hear the program anymore. lysistrata! -but i would like to see how it ends. then i'll wait for you. but mr. kienast. you shouldn't take it so seriously. i'm sorry. -ellinger gets on my nerves. yes, yes. and this lysistrata, too! why don't you stay? i'll go. -incidentally, wouldn't that be a role for you, mr. ellinger? how do you find me suitable for that, if i may ask? because of my beauty? no, i don't mean your beauty. i'm thinking more of your sympathies. -aren't they identical to those of this very feminine greek woman? oh, you mean identical to her revulsion of the war? yes, yes, yes! oh, and you consider that feminine? well, it certainly isn't masculine. -aha, so you think men shouldn't strain themselves for freedom. not to ours. whether before, in the middle of, or after the war, or in a pause between two wars, it's always too inopportune. i'm telling you, it's high time. otherwise we soon won't have any time anymore. -none. why are you so scared? i'm not scared. not for me. i could tolerate even you. -hey... i am ashamed of war, and to you love of peace is feminine. well, probably every love. we men shoot, conquer, and want to be loved. i guess a male pacifist is a kind of freak of nature, a neutered being. -yeah, these days, "neutral" refers to a person who is an incapable weakling. in any event, strength is not his thing. i see. you see it as weakness to believe that problems of mankind can be solved in other ways than through mutual killing. ellinger... -the inability of a man to find another way out of a clash of interests rather than to annihilate people. what idiocy, cluelessness, lack of imagination! this brainlessness you consider masculine? these weaknesses of yours are stronger? was christ also weak? -the answer to that will occur to you when it's too late. good night. ellinger! you must understand his agitation. you see, he lost his position today. -oh, i'm very sorry to hear that, madam. but your husband systematically makes himself impossible. well, what's taking you so long? and i want to say something that concerns you. now i'm getting my wife. -don't you understand that those people find you off-putting? they know as soon as they see you. your face reveals all. you don't have to say anything. i'm not allowed to write what i think. -you insist that i don't say it, either. now i can't even say nothing anymore, because my face gives it away. what am i supposed to do, walk around without a face? hell, i'll take a rocket to the moon. there i'll yell into the air what i think about this world. -and about the occupants of this particular spot. hey, don't cry. i don't want to have a falling out with you, too. see, i'm a pacifist. goodnight, doctor. -but why are you leaving? oh, hell! what do you think of the whole thing? by nature, i'm a pacifist, but this woman has made me a militant! but my dear hellwig. -he's crazy! he wants to lock me up, like one of those old athenians. i take care of the household and the kids. but i don't want to! i want to enjoy life! -as long as i still have one. come. goodnight. goodnight. goodnight. -what are your athenians so happy about? lampito has finally come. with the spartan peace delegation. and you're just sitting here! i just met them. -how come you? haha, i meant lysistrata. are you crying? all this makes me so terribly upset. are you sick? -you look so awfully pale. what's wrong? agnes, you should see a doctor. it's not normal. i'm so afraid. -i have such a dreadful fear. always more destruction. that's what it comes down to. and if the fear of it makes one choke, that's not normal. and now you go over and join in. -you even contribute to it. we want to prevent it. i've told you that a hundred times already. to scare off. or to put the fear into. -and in the panic, someone strikes out. my fear started when i was still a little kid. and then i heard from a worker in a baby carriage factory. however one assembled the various pieces, a machine gun was the result. yes, i remember. -that was a joke that was going around at the time about the secret armaments. true, but i took it seriously at the time. and my childhood fear proved to be right. is it very different today? wherever they manipulate, whether fertilizer or fuel, or whatever, it becomes a bomb. -does everything really have to stop? after this war, when it comes, there won't be enough survivors to bury the dead. where did you get that idea? from the apocalypse? no, no. -a nuclear physicist said that. the american. i'm sorry, but it's too self-indulgent for me. how these athenian women behave. but my dear woman... -if the fighting had continued, she would be ok... agnes... come on, let's go. my dear mr. kienast... hey, that's outrageous. -you must apologize. i can't do that. well then, come. let's watch the end and then we'll talk some more, huh? like the athenians, the men in sparta were also immediately consumed by the unredeemed, sick heat of fever. -with jumping, running, gymnastics, we women pushed the temptation out of our hardened limbs. until the men's spirit for war subsided. we women of sparta will watch that our charges, in their peace-haste, don't get cheated when it comes to contracts. athenian woman, you who have transformed your men into wild bucks, safeguard them from unreasonable commerce. when a man is gripped by love mania, he suppresses his rationality. -it disappears from the brain and sinks down. that is... here's the cup of hemlock for lysistrata. it is ready, sir, as you commanded. you must be running a temperature, like all men here. -never, never did i give such a nonsensical command. not blame, rather i praise the peace- bringer, who fulfilled my secret wish. we want to place a memorial for you in the middle of our city. as soon as the gold is returned to our competent hands. if, when, how that happens. -that we will have to discuss. in our conference, which i am now opening. we are always courting your goodwill. this time in that we are abstaining from sex. we used peace as a decoy. -we were servants of the godly intellect, of peace. large is the earth. she is rich. she is like the mother, who feeds us. all of us. -because she can, and wants to. please don't inhibit it, you men. don't impede it with your juvenile pranks. the gods are here. let us dance and sing. -first the light god, and don't forget bacchus. don't forget any of the gods. but ye shall rejoice fervently! praise eros! laud eros! -he brought peace. go with him! where is he? where is my husband. i won't accept any other! -where is my husband? oh, please tell me, where is my husband? mine is not back yet. from pylos. maybe tomorrow. -maybe. bed, you structure that begets love. lifelong you are harboured in our nocturnal bodies. until body and love have cooled down, and our strength dissipates. bedsheet, skin's nearest witness, and discreet endurer of our nightly doings. -you banner of life, be hoisted. man and woman will reconcile. and man and man have united against the flag of death. instead of theirs, you will fly, you white sheet of life. fly in all directions under heaven. -fly from north to the south. from east to west. yes, well. what would lysistrata have done if lampito hadn't come - the messenger of peace? but lampito came. -yes, yes. after a long wait. goodnight. i can't... you treated kienast really badly. -and he's so vindictive and limitlessly vain. ok then, i'll apologize to him tomorrow. why don't you call him now? kienast allows me unlimited experimental freedom. and since i'm staying here, i'd like to keep my current position. -then i'll call right away. yes, by tomorrow morning i could feel differently. i'm not sure i'm doing the right thing. my concern for you governs me more than anything else. dear mr. kienast, i have to apologize to you. -i was so agitated and quarrelsome today. i am always when it comes to this subject. maybe this will make you feel better. perhaps you can forgive a mother-to-be her bad nerves. yes, yes! -you must understand, one can only contemplate a child or the war. one excludes the other. i thank you. say hello to your wife. goodnight. -goodnight. good thing i found that out, too. why didn't you tell me? i didn't want to use that as an argument. oh. -well, well! all the gold in the world no need to hurry. we've got plenty of time. you're in quite a hurry. -you don't own the road, peasant. you're not very polite. you should get a kick up the ass. hello, boss. old houses. -some are more than 500 years old. we'll tear them down. shall we? you'll enjoy it. mr victor hardy, mr the mayor and the town councillors. -our town is attracting attention... because, according to the official statistics... we read it in the paper. our photographer has already started. isn't that great? he died at 85 and his wife at 93. -photo. and this one lived from 1850 to 1938. picture. this one lived until 92. that one too. -and the centenarians? there are plenty of them. look, 1858-1959. 101 years old. and look at this one. even older. -and that one. people get old here. we'll buy it all. for nothing. and then we sell it again. -with a catchy slogan. wait. no. people live long here. long living... -longuevie. longuevie... longuevie, the perfect choice. with good publicity. if you love life, you'll live in longuevie. -if you love life you'll live in longuevie the domain of longuevie here begins the domain of longuevie golf course of longuevie will open here thermal spa of longuevie drink water of youth here -here we're building the casino of longuevie the city council of cabosse... thank you, mayor. thank you. all ours. -well done, fred. the hard bit was to make them sell for very little. did they all sign?

the other day. on the road. -your driver wasn't very polite. how's that possible? he said i should get a kick up the ass. i can't imagine. so i'm lying? -don't go. we believe you. it was a misunderstanding. he'll reprimand his driver. quite seriously too. -sit down there and sign there. he deserves a kick up the ass. that's right. you're absolutely right. you agree with me? -absolutely. go get him then. who? your driver. so you can reprimand him. -very funny. good old mr dumont can be so funny. sign, please. we'll do the rest. we'll punish the guilty party. -first the kick under his ass. then we'll talk. you're kidding. you don't really want... i don't want anything. -you want something from me. please, mr dumont. can't we talk about it? mr hardy only wants the best for you. sit down, so we can talk. -or are you in a hurry? i'm never in a hurry. i have all the time in the world. the boy seems to be surprised. he's getting used to the idea. -put yourself in his place. i think he asked for time to think. he's right. you should never rush. all of that is his. -it's got to happen. come. come. i'll go alone. no need for witnesses. -hurry up a bit. mr dumont? who's that? i'm ready for it. what do you want? -i don't want anything. you want something. oh, is it for... there was no rush. go ahead. -he hit me hard. done. let him sign, so we can go. i don't want to see that old man anymore. it's not all done yet. -what? oh, yes. those people are brutes. they speak another language. wasn't that the agreement? -it looks that way. you only need to sign there. i only need to sign there. then i'll sign there. agreed then. -but i have to talk to toine first. toine? my son. but your son isn't the owner, is he? no, i am. -but who left it to me? my father. and he got the house from his father. it went from father to son, ever since there have been dumonts. i won't sell it without talking to toine first. -it's not possible. what's keeping you, fred? one moment. you have to go talk to toine. i will when i see him. -right away. right now? but he's up there. up there? in the mountains, with the sheep. -then we'll go there. into the mountains? i used to go there when i was young. it's a two day walk and there are no roads. when will he be back? -at the end of summer. with the sheep. are you coming? i'm coming. don't you want some soup? -no, thanks. some other time. toine, don't you recognize me? it's the mayor. you gave me a fright. -we came to say hello. hello, toine. nice to meet you. he's the spitting image of his father. who's that? -a friend of your father's. he offered me a bowl of soup earlier. and he told me that he wants to talk to you. is that true? yes, it is. -would you like to fly with us? me in that thing? me? that sounds like fun. mr dumont. -mathieu. hello, dad. what are you doing here? didn't you want to see him? i said at the end of summer. -when he's back with the sheep. say hello to your father and tell him to be sensible. you're not getting in before the sheep are back. you said he wanted to see me. i'll solve it. -you're so stubborn. i'll teach you. you're not going to kill me, are you? it's only lead shot. to chase the apple thieves away. -go away or i'll shoot. all dumonts were pigheaded, but you're the worst. he wanted to shoot me. me, the mayor. i'll go. -listen, mr dumont. i won't listen to anything. he belongs with his sheep. but you wanted... at the end of summer. -when i say something, i mean it. i want to clear something up. this isn't your son's fault. it's not? and who's looking after the sheep now? -the sheep? yes. you tell me. your father wanted to know... who's looking after the sheep? -well, the beard. the beard looks after them. he doesn't know anything about them. with his cousin. good. -his cousin's there too. which cousin? i think the cousin of the beard. he's laughing. that cousin is a loser. -no, it's not that cousin. which cousin then? the other cousin is the loser. it's the other cousin. toine, i told you not to come into the house. -but he's your son. surely, he can come in. i live here and i'm not a little boy anymore. no? we'll see about that. -and tomorrow... the opening ceremony. all those journalists. the radio, the guests of honour. it'll be a big failure. -because of this pigheaded man. if only we could... kill him. that will be hard. although. -i'll explain, toine. maybe we were too pushy. he hit me. at my age. i'm sorry for you. -we're very sorry. this is the thing. we want to buy your house and land and your father... open that door, toine. one moment. -we have permission of your father. i could have hit back. but it wouldn't have solved anything. you have to come to an agreement about the sale. are you going to open or not? -in a moment. your dad said yes. now you. i have to go. yes, go to paris, for instance. -to a place without problems. anywhere. if you prefer the countryside, we'll build something. so you can live another kind of life. a life that suits you. -actually, it's your duty. good grace. open up or i'll get my axe. we've finished. you agree. -now we'll speak to your father. maybe he'll understand what he did. of course. when i'll be at the bottom of the well. at the bottom of the well? -yes, that's what he said. locking me out. where is he? you're wrong, mr dumont. i tended sheep until i was 40. -and now get lost. toine, show yourself. where are you? toine isn't here, mr dumont. i know where he is. -help, mr hardy. help. what are you doing near my well? get away from there. these guys think they can do anything. -stay there. don't move. i'll show them. grab it, toine. grab it. -let me get a cartridge. he's so clumsy. work with us. i should have let you do it, idiot. look where you would have been without him. -in that black hole. the big nothing. i'll give you some lead shot. these things never work when you need them. good grace. -that's glowing hot. what did i do to the good lord? i'll get them for this. don't give him too much to drink, rose. poor toine. -you know him. he's not a bad drunk. and i'm here to defend your honour. i'm counting on you, mr jules. good evening, rose. -pick a card. did you see it? now put it back. come here, closer. hearts for a beautiful girl. -and i'm the king of hearts. i know all the tricks. you'll see. where do you buy your hair? it's real. -i love long hair. but combing it takes long. it's fast to loosen. don't move. don't touch. -look at yourself. imagine yourself in paris like this. in a carriage on the champs elysées. everybody will be looking at you. but here... such sadness. -what are you doing in a hole like this? what are you going to do? talk to him. to whom? my old man. -didn't he kick you out? what will you say to him? yes, tell us that. wait. let's pretend i'm your dad. -you come in. i come in. what do you say to me, your dad? i demand apologies. what for? -you kicked me and hit me. really? apologies. no way. now it's my turn. -yes, that's enough. you can't do that to your dad. oh no? when i was 9, i had to start tending sheep and i'm still doing it. i don't see anything of the world. -like paris. what do you want in paris? what do i want here? i work but i don't make anything. what if i want to marry? -marry? who'd want you? don't say that. i have rights like everybody else. i'm not a beast. -i didn't say that. you don't care about me. well, that will change. if you hit me, i'll hit you back. maybe i can only look after sheep, but you don't need to tell me that. -what do i care. good night. you won't say all that to your dad. you never talk to people. you think? -you never talk to me either. i'm always talking to you. when? when i'm alone. rose, it's past closing time. -i'm closing, madame. where will you sleep? why do you care? i'm asking, ain't i? do you wonder where i sleep when i'm in the mountains? -there's a barn there. the door's open. thanks. that's good enough for me. i'm not from paris. -do you really think about me in the mountains? you can't always think of sheep. good night, toine. good night. believe me. -you'll never talk to people. long live longuevie. and long live longuevie's godmother. stella, the queen of the chanson. no entry -this way, stella. that will be a funny picture. do that nonsense somewhere else. we're working. pretend you're sitting on it. -you're not allowed here. we don't care. sing something. it makes your face light up. go away, you. -shut up, old man. you should be at the cemetery. smile. i'll shoot you in the butt. did he say butt? -mark your words, old man. are you asking for it? you'll get it. fine. turn. -thanks. what's its title? eternal youth. i thought as much. very expressive. -very expressive, sir. a piece of art. mr mayor, ladies and gentlemen. as the philosopher said so aptly... the future is everything that hasn't happened yet. -but the future is no less necessary than the past. the past has not become more necessary because it has happened... but to prove it was not necessary. the concept of necessity would cast its shadow ahead... if we didn't know that human behaviour creates this antinomy: man knows what is and forgets to be. and that's why i say with you: -long live longuevie. long live the future. who said i should be at the cemetery? the old man. he can walk. -aren't you ashamed you're still alive? oh, my ass. my ass. what's with his ass? help, help. -a murderer. i'm a silly old man, right? save me, save me. hold her tight, toine. she won't turn around. -don't shoot. save me. the son disarmed the father. peasants. our readers aren't interested in them. -look, stella fainted. stella. are they talking about her? not since months. did she find happiness? -then she's no longer interesting. but she'll get a divorce. good. that's during the shooting. not enough cleavage. -that's before the cleavage. too much cleavage. that's the perpetrator. who did he kill? nobody. -skip it. and the rescuer. we can't print that face. see how she looks at him. the star and the shepherd. -that's new. makes a change from a princess. toine, a french farmer. is his name toine? toine dumont. -and stella's husband's called tony. tony. toine. 'will toine replace tony? ' that doesn't sound bad. -'will toine replace tony? ' great. a great find. it would make a good cover. -look at this, gentlemen. hello? connect me to cabosse. toine. good friend. -remember: you're from the countryside, where the air is pure... and where people live the longest. i don't need to introduce him. our good french farmer... from the town where people live the longest. it has been proven. -right? yes. i'd like to know what mr toine really feels for stella. this will be the world centre of longevity. longuevie has it all: -flexible payment terms... golf, hotels, casino, theatre... a spa, a fountain of youth. and fresh air. that marvellous air in which you live long. right, toine? of course. -did mr toine admire stella as an artist... before he got to know her personally? later. mr toine is in paris for the first time. you'll see that it's not the beauty of the city that astonished him... but the lack of oxygen. the polluted air, the fumes, the smoke. -that's why longuevie is good for the general well-being. right, toine? that's absolutely true. what do you think? you who are used to fresh air. -is the air better here? no, it's not. this is high enough. nothing like the air from home. what do you say, toine? -our air is very pure and you get very old. we want to interview him. ask questions. did stella call you antoine or toine? no questions about his private life. -would your father have killed stella if you hadn't intervened? answer. no, she would have gotten some lead shot in her butt. don't write that down. we're talking about a great artist. -et cetera, et cetera. are there any questions? have you known toine for long? i understood him from the start. what attracts you to him? -he's the purest being i've ever met. does he call you madame or stella? that's an indiscrete question. he's a dedicated friend to me, a real buddy. keep it decent. -i'm married, after all. what does your husband think of that shepherd? my husband's my best friend. poor tony. he's a pure being as well. -maybe too pure. bastard. bitch. did you say bitch? finally. -that was it. bravo, tony, that was very touching. no, no journalists. i'm not saying anything. stella's my wife. -no questions about our private life. can you repeat that? no questions about our private life. don't take pictures here. not in a men's clothing shop. -i said no. oh stella, the way you said that... one more time: i said no. i said no. -perfect. couldn't be better. and now the tie she picked for him. turn around, toine. look at your tie. -thank you. and now the entire suit. quickly, please. mr toine. no, not like that. -attention. toine, your arm around the neck. no, not around your own neck. yes. and now smile. -smile, toine. did the shepherd seduce stella? i understand you seek publicity for the land you're selling. and involving my wife's one thing. but to damage my reputation... -come on, tony, you knew. but i didn't know my picture would be smaller than stella's. nobody talks about me. that's up to the papers. all the attention goes to that village idiot. -that... what's his name again? toine. hello, dear man. he has a good face. my compliments. -if i ever need publicity again... really, from tomorrow on... that's stella's husband. is she married? don't you read the papers? -but that's not true at all. truth is relative. but what's her poor husband going to think? as long as they talk about him. isn't that woman ashamed? -no, she enjoys the attention. and the readers? they love it. it's about their beloved stars. but it's not true. -what does that matter? everybody's happy. well, i'm not. you've never left your own town. you're a peasant. -in paris, this is very normal. you have to grab the idiots' attention. and there's a lot of them. look. no, i'm in a hurry. -who loves me, follows me. bravo, dear stella. bravo. look at the sweet children. what do you want, dear? -i want to give you a kiss. i can see that our little girls love you as much as the audience. but tell us. who's the big love of your life? your big love is... -my little boy. i bet he's clapping now. he's only 4 months old. he can stay up tonight to clap for mommy, right little one? blow him a kiss. -i'm sure he blew you one back. thanks, dear stella. and now our guest of honour. the most famous shepherd of france. dear toine, we know that up there in the mountains... you sing songs to your sheep. -sing one of those songs to this lamb to remind it of its home land. orchestra, please help him. hey, mathieu! we're watching your son. did the shepherd seduce stella? -bravo, toine. your friends at home have seen you. and you're about to see them too. dear viewers, we'll now go to the town of cabosse. cabosse here. -mayor, what do you think of your friend toine? he's not a bad guy. that's why all of paris now loves him. stand up and say your name. my name's rose. -and, rose, do you know toine? i sure do. say hello to him. hello, toine. say hello to rose, toine. -well, toine? he's not a big talker. doesn't he talk to you either? he only talks when he's alone. only then and not to rose? -pretend you're alone with your sheep. you're making him insecure, rose. come on, toine. hello, rose. the silence has been broken. -won't you come see us anymore? i don't know. no? well, i do. who said that? -join us, sir. who are you? toine's father. a reunion of father and son, thanks to television. a real family affair. -a hand for toine's father. say hello to your beloved father, toine. we're not on speaking terms. you're not? i want to say something. -you're the first dumont who's in the newspaper with thieves and murderers. aren't you ashamed? you clearly never left your town, dad. you're a peasant. so listen well. -madame stella and her husband want people to talk about them. in paris, everyone finds that normal. no, let me explain. it's also publicity for the land mr hardy wants to sell. he says it's all about getting the attention of the idiots. -if mr hardy says that, he's a piece of scum. tell him i'll kick him up his... ladies and gentlemen, apologies for this unforeseen incident. pause to say that i want to be gossiped about. -in front of my audience. take him away. i don't want to see him again. go to your sheep. they're less stupid than you. -quick, to the station. he won't stay here another hour. get in. we've seen enough of you that doesn't belong to you, mathieu. -don't touch it. is it not my land either? didn't you want to sell it? i'm still the boss here. you're not listening to me? -do your duty. i arrest you in the name of the law. i know the law too. the first time i'll shoot in the air and the second time... i'll teach you whose land this is. -it belongs to my family. and i'll get rid of your notice board. cooperate, damnit. who's the boss here? the mayor? -the police? no, i'm the boss. i'm the boss. you'll do as i say. mathieu, where are you? -mathieu dumont. answer the phone. what's wrong? you won't believe it. it's providence. -hello? yes, it's me. good morning, mayor. what? that's terrible. -poor mr dumont. are you sure? the poor man. yes, we're all mere mortals. pass our condolences on to his son. -we're going. how unexpected. toine inherits everything and we know him. it's a done deal. let's go there. -good afternoon. still the prettiest one, rose? that's how he is. now, the orphan can marry you. it's the day of the funeral. -wedding or funeral. party time. never lose faith, toine. look at me. that's true. -look at us. your dad would say: enjoy the food. and the drinks. he liked a drink. -to his health then. he was a good bastard. because he was quite a bastard. when he'd hit me, he'd always say: 'this will make your head just as hard as mine.' -and he had a very hard head, poor dad. it's now or never. we have to finish this. his house. his poor house. -his house. his poor house. that was his bed. his bed. his poor bed. -his kitchen. his poor kitchen. he made his own soup. and it was good, his poor soup. don't get all down. -come on, sit at the table. his poor table. toine, we can't go back in time. don't look back. think of the future. -your father forgot a little formality. sign here. poor dad didn't like to write. so all's well that ends well. you replace him now. -did he have to put his name there? he wasn't given the time to do it. this was all his. and now it's yours. you can do with it as you please. -to sell dad's house. do i have the right? of course. it's all yours. it's all mine. -even his gun. his poor gun. his poor gun, his poor hat. his poor pipe, his poor tobacco, his poor shoes. don't get worked up, boss. -i've had it. that's how he is. no control over his emotions. what's wrong? my poor head. -what did he say? my poor head. did the doctor come? he can't make it. why? -too much to drink. but what did he say? he said: my poor head. i don't care about his head. -what did he say about him? to let him sleep. no way. do you hear me, toine? yes. -do you recognize me? yes. yes, dad. what's he saying? where would i be without a house. -he'd buy another one. what's he saying? that he'd rather stay here. he has to accept the facts. dad doesn't want me to sell. -dad has no say about anything anymore. but your dad agreed. if only he could talk. come in. i'm feeling a bit better. -who is it? who's there? hey. hey. what is it? -do you hear that? hear what? listen carefully. i don't hear anything. me neither. -someone's calling me. you're dreaming. and that? what? didn't you hear that? -no, did you? but there's really someone there. who's there? it's me. which me? -mathieu, your father. i thought he wanted to hit me. who? dad. you're still drunk. -go to sleep. do you hear me, toine? you have to listen to me. this is your father speaking. now you heard it too. -go to sleep. but he's talking to me. we're off. see you tomorrow. no, don't leave. -you have to leave the house, toine. i'll sleep here. if you start wandering through the house, you won't find me. i'll get you. say 'toine, toine' if you must. -toine. toine. did i wake you up? i wasn't asleep. you must be tired then. -you didn't really sleep last night. poor toine, you can be so stupid sometimes. are you here to laugh at me? i came to see you because everyone's wondering... why you're not selling the house. they ask me, but i don't know. -i'll tell you. i won't tell anyone else. no one? when you look at me, i can't talk. do i have to hide? -now you don't see me anymore. i'll try. well? i'm waiting. don't insist. -i'm listening. look, rose... good god, good god. is that all? it's not easy, you know. -i was never much of a talker. some other time then? i have to find the words. look for them. there's plenty of time. -there is, but still... did you see the house, by the way? if you like it, i won't sell it. i'll keep it. for you. -if you say no, they can have it. then i'll leave. but if you say yes, then... what more do i have to say? i won't repeat it all. -what's your answer, rose? what's your answer? did you hear what i said? i can't hear you. the house on your left belongs to mr dumont. -that's where the shepherd lives. the seducer the newspapers are full of. 'what's the secret of that don juan... whose innocent looks hide his power over the ladies? ' mr dumont, can i take a picture? -a signature, toine? find the woman... and you'll find him. he was running after her. our toine's in love. -very nice... he wants to marry. and then... he'll live like daddy. and he'll keep the house. -for his offspring. and the girl? she's like all women. they marry the first man who courts them. so? -what? court her. who? you. then it'll be alright. -but i don't want to marry. you don't have to. as long as toine doesn't marry. you're kidding. play your role. -the car, jules. i'd rather be in your shoes. good luck. what got into you, toine? nothing. -yes? he didn't speak to her for three days? good. he seems sad? very good. -he doesn't go to the bar anymore? toine's not seeing rose anymore. i'll explain later. and? now we have to grab our chance. -the notary says it will work. a certain sale. when he'll see all the money tomorrow... i bet you've never seen this much money. just sign. -and then it's yours, lucky devil. do you know what my grandfather always used to say? that good health is worth more than all the gold in the world. he didn't say 'all the money in the world '. he said 'all the gold in the world'. -i get it. you could have asked that earlier. but i'm not asking anything. there. all solved. -how are you, toine? not bad. now everyone can see i'm carrying gold. so what? you won't be killed for it. -just leave it here. here? yes, here. you can put anything you want in here. we lock the safe-deposit box and give you the key. -is there only one copy? of course. what if i lose it? we'll make a new one. that means he can open it whenever he wants. -and you can't steal a house. so if you don't mind, i'll keep it a bit longer. they've waited long enough. so they can wait another minute. one minute, i said. -hello, rose. hello, toine. are you getting married? to whom? to that man who always walks with you. -poor toine, in paris all the girls walk with boys. that doesn't mean they'll get married. i couldn't live in paris. you could. if i'd marry a parisian. -of course. but i don't intend to. so you'd rather stay here? yes, if i marry someone from here. i've been stupid. -you were always stupid, poor toine. are you coming, toine? yes, i'm coming. do you want happiness and prosperity? well, there's a generous man here... who wants to make you happy. -this man's discouraged. he wants to abandon his project. and why? because one of you... one of you wants to keep the fountain of youth for himself. -it's on the side of the road. anyone can drink from it. we want to exploit the spring commercially. i want to stay in my house. isn't that my right? -you heard the town's voice. the way you heard your father's voice. my father? everybody can speak on his behalf now. sorry, mr hardy, but when he was still alive, he said... -'mr hardy's a piece of scum.' mr dumont, you're an enemy of the people. enemy of the people. i can stay where i am, can't i? are you talking to me? -you're all the same. where's rose? she's gone for a walk. again? with whom? -with anyone she wants. alright, i'll wait. a glass of white. i ran out. a glass of red then. -i also ran out of that. what's this? i don't serve hotheads. you don't have the right. but you have the right to ruin things? -it should be full of construction workers here. and people from paris. enemy of the people. what? help, a murderer. -help. dad, toine dumont's making a scene. come quickly, dad. toine, listen. i don't listen to anyone anymore. -my kepi. i've known your grandfather and the father of your grandfather. toine dumont. in the name of the law... tell me, rose. -does toine want to marry you? he never says anything. you're handling it wrong. you have to make him jealous. do as i say. -you'll see... rose. i want to see rose. she's not here. he'll ask you within five minutes. -are you sure? you saw him run. i told you she's not here. what are you doing here, toine? were you looking for me? -did you want to see me? make up your mind. no need for words. here. i'm not as stupid as you think. -i'm on to you and to all of you. the house, the land, you can have it. i don't want it anymore. go tell your boss. and hurry up. -'scum.' forget about that. relax a bit. good health... is worth more than all the gold in the world. what do i get if i save you? -it can't be expressed in money. the house and the land are yours. how much do i get? whatever you want. you're a witness. -don't break your promise. we're saved. an unexpected development. is he dead? no, he's selling. -he agrees. my job's done. my money? where is he? next door. -hurry up then. the paperwork. dad, toine's in front of the bar. don't let him leave. i'm coming. -come into my arms. i don't want to. all together: long live toine dumont. long live toine dumont. -bunch of bastards. long live toine. get lost. i'm going to my sheep. not right now. -sign first. come on, let me sign. let's get it over and done with. i'm coming. i'm coming. -dad, it's that way. the paperwork. the paperwork. you're holding it. yes, here it is. -a pen. a pen. here. here. do i sign there? -one moment. friends, a historical moment. please... not now. i'll keep it short. -only one signature stands between us and the birth of longuevie. long live dumont, long live longuevie. thanks, mayor. sign. antoine dumont. -i knew your grandfather and the father of your grandfather. leave him. it's all arranged. silence. i'm the law. -you're a danger to society. what did i do now? no idea. but you're pigheaded, like your dad and you'll end like your brother. his brother? -he has a brother? so what? he's not the only heir. his brother died a long time ago. his brother's dead. -good, he's dead. bravo. that's better. he still has to sign. you didn't sign. -i can't. because of my brother. i forgot about him. but he's dead. we only said that because we were ashamed. -he may not be that dead. where is your brother then? where is he? house of detention your brother was a good guy. -he was pigheaded, but he had a heart of gold. i always get emotional when i enter his cell. that's all that's left of him. didn't you know? no. -when did it happen? seven years ago by now. we looked after him well, but one day he got depressed. he bent the bars and left. how do we find out where he is? -we know. he wrote to us. come here. pierrot. look at what he sent my little boy. -a costume of the place where he lives. dumont! martial dumont! hello? martial dumont? -we were disconnected. here's your brother. keep it short. as i was saying. what time is it there? -talk about the contract. sheep? yes, we still have them. and you? la... -llamas? nice. what are llamas? a llama is a type of goat with a long neck. or a type of little camel. -can you imagine? no? please stick to our case. we haven't talked for ten years. we have to catch up. -no, i won't come back. i got married here. are you married? no? that's not good. -a dumont has to marry. the family can't die out. make sure you marry. what's it to you? i do what i want and i don't follow orders. -what kind of pig? no, you're pigheaded. just like dad. he agrees. who? -martial. he gives everything to toine, provided he gets married. now toine wants to sell. if he gets married he might not. but we have rose. -we'll talk to rose. who? don't you remember? rose. to whom he doesn't talk anymore. -we'll make sure they get married. antoine dumont? never. then you can leave. i'd love to. -and where will you be going? doesn't matter. to paris or somewhere else. as if life's simple there. you told me it was. -but a good marriage to a serious guy... do you mean toine? yes, why not? you said he's not exactly handsome. if you look at him well... -he hits women. i won't take that. a vindictive woman. but people hurt those that they love. sometimes people hurt those they don't love. -never. isn't there a girl you like? yes, one. don't leave then. i never want to see her again. -listen. if you mention her name, i'll shoot. if you see toine dumont, report at town hall. but be careful. the man is armed. -spread the word. talk to him. give us a chance. i don't have anything to say to him. he loves you. -how do you know? everybody knows. and you had to court her? you told me to. you shouldn't have listened to me. -look. he can't escape. he has to surrender. once he sees her... we'll be saved. -don't go back. keep going. they're losing courage. no, rose keeps going. she's walking towards him. -bravo, rose. go, girl. he's saying something. i won't get married. me neither. -then we're even. not yet. i'm not listening. you don't have to. she's betraying us. -she's leaving. him too. come back. attack each other or something, but do get married. one thing: -i don't love you. i don't love you either. why do you tell people you do? how do you know? everybody says so, except you. -what if i had told you? tell me and you'll know. what are they doing? just say: i love you. -you love me. you talk to sheep. they're good animals. what do you say to them? none of your business. -that you want to get married? maybe. did you also tell them to whom you want to get married? that's none of their business. it's going well. -very well. kiss each other. that'll settle it. think of me, please. i can't take it anymore. -all the money we can make. how do i know if you don't say anything? what? what you're telling people. but you know. -you didn't tell me. what should i say? you should say: rose, i've loved you for a long time. you're the most beautiful girl in town and the most sensible one. -we'll get married. and we'll go far away together. will you say it or not? i don't need to. you already said it for me. -friends, in name of the town... no, let me say something now. friends, it was a serious battle. but now nothing stops me from creating longuevie... in this beautiful landscape with its pure air... where people get so old. the fountain's near the road. -anyone can drink from it. the following program is brought to you in living color on nbc. you going to shave, pa? maybe saturday, if we go into town. what are we going to use for money? -that feller in town said he'd have some for that 40 head of cattle by saturday. better get breakfast started, son-- here comes your brother. jack, i thought i told you to bury that hide. i thought i'd eat first, pa. then get it out of sight. -that's a ponderosa brand. when a man steals beef from his neighbor, he usually tries to bury the hide. didn't you have time? well, now, then, you-you wouldn't mind if we waited till we ate our breakfast, would you, mr. cartwright? no, not at all. -you wouldn't even have to bury the hide if you told me you needed beef. a big man like ben cartwright... we didn't figure you'd want to be bothered with us tatums. any man needs eating beef on the ponderosa, all he has to do is ask for it. well, seeing as you got several thousand head, that's right generous. but if he doesn't ask for it first, he's stealing. -you calling me a thief? you've already taken land, josh. this ranch house of yours is more than a quarter of a mile inside the ponderosa lines-- i never said a thing about that. you ain't figuring to throw us off our place, are you, cartwright? gus! -right here, pa. i got him right in my sights. you just say the word, pa, and i'll pull this here trigger. drop the gun belt, ben. now just get off the horse. -jack, move this critter out of the way. now, ben, you've been pushing people around so much, maybe you forgot how it feels to get pushed a bit yourself. pushing people around? i ride in here, i find that hide there with the ponderosa brand on it, one of your kids got me in his rifle sights... who's pushing who, josh? -now you tell me our place is a quarter mile inside the ponderosa. well, isn't it? you got money, you got the law. you can probably prove it and push us off any time you like. josh, i could have done it a long time before this. -yeah, and now for one lousy steer, you're going to try it, aren't ya? no, josh. i got something for you to remember, cartwright. we don't push easy. big man! -he don't look so big now. pa sure cut him down to size. what do you kids know about it? well, you whupped him, didn't you, pa? yeah, i guess so. -but it wasn't no waltz like you young pups seem to think. where's pa? he rode out before daylight. oh, i wish he wouldn't do that. oh, he's fretting over those rustlers. -i heard him down here pacing the floor last night like a caged-up cougar. well, what's he think he's going to do? ride out and corral them all by himself? well, he'd give it a try. that's the big trouble with pa, he still thinks he's 21 years old. -he ought to start taking it a might easier. hmm. you tell him, huh? well, somebody ought to. don't look at me! -morning, boys. morning. thank you. horse throw you? no. -did you bump into a limb or something, pa? no. you, uh, forget to duck? what happened? got into a little scuffle. -into a little scuffle? mm. who with, pa? oh, forget it. forget it? -why? because if i told you who it was, you'd all run out of here hot-headed and itchy and looking for trouble, and you'd find the trouble, there'd be some gunplay, and somebody would get hurt. better change my shirt. i wonder who it was. i don't know. -a man pa's age ought not to go around getting into fights. age has nothing to do with it. i never knew a man yet who didn't think he was as good as the best day he ever saw. yeah, remember the time sam lucas tried to beat the heck out of you? yeah. -that old man must have been 70 or 75 years old. didn't weigh 100 pounds. oh, ran you out of town. mm, i had to run. he was going to bust my head in with that pickaxe handle. -you know, maybe we can try to talk pa into taking it a little easy or something, huh? yeah, sure, we're gonna set him in an easy chair, give him his pipe and slippers-- mm-mm, not me. well, nothing like that, but, uh, we might suggest that he cut down a little on the physical side of things. do a little more supervising, huh? just supervising? -pa? well, why not? other ranches have supervisors. yeah, i reckon they do at that. maybe we could talk pa into it. -yeah, maybe we could try. it won't be easy. let's eat now and think about it later. pa... pa... -if you boys are still trying to figure out who i had the fight with, forget it. oh, no, sir. we just wanted you to avoid them scraps. fine, i'll avoid them. now, let's get to business. -as far as i can figure things, we've lost about 200 head of cattle in the last three weeks. if it keeps up this way, we'll be out of beef. so we're going to do something about it. now each one of you boys flips a coin... two of you go with me, odd man stays home. well? -pa, it's a pretty hard ride up there in that country. and it gets colder than a polar bear's nose. and there's no telling what kind of trouble we're gonna run into, pa. well, if you boys don't want to come along with me, i can always take hop sing. -no, pa, that... that ain't it, it's... well, the fact is, we think we all ought to go. all of us? someone has to stay home. why don't you stay? -i never have! yeah, we... we know you ain't never, pa, and, well, that's our point. see, we were thinking maybe you ought to start taking it a little easy. like supervising, huh? you, uh... you boys think i might be getting too old for this sort of thing? -now, we didn't say that. what did you say? what did we say, adam? you know what we said. yeah. -well, hoss? well, pa, we... doggone it, we... we think you ought to start taking it a little easier, pa. a man gets a certain age, he ought to slow down a little bit. now, we ain't saying you ought to be put out to pasture or nothing, it's... -well, that's comforting. and-and, well, you know... you know, a man with three sons ought-ought to be able to get a little of the load taken off his back. hmm. well, that doesn't sound too bad to me. -sounds pretty good. you... you mean you don't mind? well, why should i mind? well, we thought that... well, stop thinking and stop jawing, and get to it or else the whole day will be gone. -we're on our way, pa. be back before dark. yeah, and-and with the rustlers. be back by supper. right. -right! uh, pa, are you sure you'll be all right? i'll try to make out, hoss. looks like a box canyon to me. yeah, but the tracks say it ain't so. -they go in, but they don't come out. there might be a way out at the other end. or else they're still in there. i sure don't like the looks of it. i'd hate to get trapped in there. -you want to find those rustlers or don't you? well, yeah, but i want to find them; i don't want them finding me. let's just be mighty careful. i sure don't like the looks of this. -i don't know what you two are going to do, but i'm going to get myself a little closer to the ground. i ain't gonna sit up here like no crow on a fence post. cover me, joe! right. how is it? -how should i know? i ain't seen it yet. let's take a look. in and out, slick and clean. adam, i ain't... -i ain't never going to tease you again about wearing them clean shirts. well, the only reason i wear them is 'cause i knew you'd get shot one day. that'll stop the bleeding. you'll be fine as a frog's hair in no time. you all right? -yep. i reckon i am. we ain't got ourselves many problems. we lost our horses, we ain't got no food and water, and even if i could walk, we couldn't get out of here. them fellers are using real bullets up there. -on top of all that, it's going to be so cold tonight it'd freeze the hide right off of a drunken cowboy. and we can't build no fire. well, at least we did one thing. what's that? well, we found the rustlers. -worry, worry. you get bellyache. you better eat now. no, i'll wait a while. the boys should be along soon. -maybe they sleep out tonight. no, i don't think so. they said they'd be back before dark. besides, they didn't take any food with them. they be back. -hmm? mr. hoss up there. he smell food cooking, he come to food like homing pigeon. go. what do you smell? -nah, it can't be. it can't be what? i... i swear i can smell hop sing's cooking. we're over a half day's ride from the house. -you can't smell that distance. i don't know about that. i remember once hoss smelling biscuits in a sandstorm. the storm was over and we got home, sure enough, there were the biscuits. remember that? -yeah. i wish i didn't. roast pork and sweet taters? you come eat. roast pork, sweet potato. -keep warm much longer, all dry up. i'm afraid they've run into some kind of trouble. always do. you eat. i'm not very hungry, hop sing. -they catch trouble, okay. how you help by not eat? just in case, better put that back in the oven. you want me sit up all night keep fire in cook stove? no, you can let it go out. -uh, when the boys come back, i'll fire it up again. nah. oh, man, it's colder than a well digger's toenails out there. where's curly? oh, he's keeping an eye on them cartwrights. -throwing in a couple of shots now and again, just to let them know who's boss. any doubt in your mind who's boss around here? didn't mean nothing by that. ah. never thought coffee'd taste better than whiskey. -but it does. how long before dawn? what you worrying about? sun comes up, it comes up. you figure come daylight we can, uh, pick off them cartwrights and get the herd on the trail, huh? -sure. sure. do you think i'd throw in with josh tatum, didn't know what i was doing? oh, you got it all figured out, boss. i mean, they ain't going nowhere without them horses. -and that big feller's hit in the leg and... only thing is, they'll be dug in deep by daylight. well, then, we'll dig them out. providing old ben cartwright doesn't come looking for his boys at that time. that old goat? -what can he do? what can he do...? well, he's just one more man, ain't he? sometimes that one more man is just one too many. the tatums are due here in the morning to help drive the herd. -that makes six of us. figure three to pick off them cartwright pups, that... that leaves three to take care of the old man. that ought to do it. yeah, it should. you know something? -one slug takes care of one man. i don't care who he is. you're new around here, johnny. yeah. maybe that's what you need. -somebody who don't get the shakes around old ben cartwright. i'll take care of him. johnny. just see that you do. feller up there is a mighty good shot. -yeah. ain't no way to get at him. where is he? you see them rocks up there? the great big one on the left and the two little ones on the right just piled on top of each other? -yeah. he's behind those little ones on the right, and there ain't no way to get at him. i'll get him. what you gonna do, shoot through the rocks? nope. -all those times we were in virginia city and you were busy chasing girls and he was busy throwing people over tables, you know what i was doing? probably down at the bank counting your money. yeah, checking the books to find out if the bank's going to go broke. no, i was improving my education playing billiards. that big rock on the left's the cushion, character behind the little rock is the object ball, and the slug is the cue ball. -reckon you hit him? well, i should've. the angle was right. what'd you do, try to change position? wise guy down there must have bounced one off the rocks. -you reckon pa started out after us yet? i doubt that. after we told him we'd do all his fighting for him. he's probably sitting at home taking it easy, waiting for us to ride in. you go now, mr. cartwright? -yeah. you go virginia city, get sheriff? no, there's no need for that. you think no trouble. yes, i think no trouble. -what have you got there? sandwich. this for little joe and mr. adam. this for mr. hoss. seems about right. -you tell mr. hoss i cook turkey for supper. oh, that's fine. what are the rest of us going to eat? it's pretty funny joke, mr. cartwright. now not so funny. -have to kill another turkey, pick another turkey, stuff another turkey, cook another turkey. big joke. good-bye. josh! that'll be far enough. -hand over that rifle. your gun belt. so, that's the way it's going to be, huh? i give you a beating. now every time i poke my face out of the brush, -i'm looking down a gun barrel. you're kind of a poor loser, ain't you, ben? you stole one of my steers, you're on my land. for all i know, those wolf pup sons of yours are behind a tree, right now, with a bead on me. if that were so, you wouldn't be standing there talking about it. -now, come on, give me back my guns. i'll give them back to you when i'm ready. you're getting mighty edgy over one measly steer, ain't you? i already told you, josh, any man needs food can get a steer just for the asking. but the ponderosa's lost hundreds of head in the past month, through rustling. -i'm not edgy over the one you stole. and i ain't edgy over the hundreds you lost, unlessen you're accusing me of being part of it. if i was, i'd tell you. how about my guns? -you'll find your guns about a mile up the trail. back feels better that way. what's the matter, ben, don't you trust me? no, i don't trust you, josh. besides, i gotta be on my way. -oh, you cartwrights always got big things to do, ain't you? big enough for me-- going after my sons. your sons? ! what happened? -they lost or something? they went up into the high country to look for the rustlers. they didn't get back last night. i'm going after them. no posse? -you going all by yourself? haven't got time for a posse. they're my sons. what would you do if they were yours? no sign of him yet? -nah. if he's coming, he ought to show up pretty soon. now, he's gotta come up that draw. when he does-- ptth! - like a sitting duck. -yeah? well, if he's alone, you can take him. if he's got a posse along, empty that rifle and we'll get out of here. hey, how's curly? staying away from rocks, you can bet. -he ain't hurt too bad. i got a bandage on it, stopped the bleeding. man, i sure could use some whiskey. should've thought of that. i did. -had a pint in my saddlebag. where is it now? gave it to curly. he needs it more than you do. well, you tell him to save some for me, so i can get this night chill out of my bones. -you just take care of old ben cartwright, i'll see that you get a case of the stuff. hold it! you took long enough getting there. we ain't rich enough to buy horses. -they hang a man for stealing them. we come as soon as we could. which way did you come? up over the ridge, like i said i would. i don't suppose you seen anything of ben cartwright? -yeah, i seen him, right after i started out. he had me bushwhacked as pretty as you ever seen. how come he didn't shoot at you? i talked him out of it, that's how come. i can handle ben cartwright. -we don't have to worry about him, anyway. johnny's waiting for him. so he didn't go to virginia city for a posse. looks like we got them cartwrights right where we want them. maybe you have and maybe you ain't. -where's johnny? he's covering the draw where ben's got to come. one of you go down there and back him up. wait, there's no need for that. johnny can take care of him. -a chipmunk couldn't get by him. i don't care if a chipmunk get by or not. i'm thinking about ben cartwright, and i don't want that old coot getting in here. gus, you go down there and back him up, just like i said. ben got you spooked? -he ain't nine feet tall. i know, i know, but we ain't taking no chances. now, where's curly? keeping them three cartwrights pinned down. you know something, one of them got curly in the shoulder. -i told you to be careful, didn't i? jack, go spell curly off. whereabouts is he, jake? see that needle-pointed rock over yonder? he's hunkered down behind it. -better let him know you're coming. he's getting skittish as a hungry coyote. have some coffee. where's the herd? up on the mesa-- plenty of grass there. -ain't nowhere for them to go. what you worrying about? ben cartwright. i told you i got... i know, you told me johnny's taking care of him. -and johnny ain't but a kid. he don't know ben cartwright. ben's got to come up through that draw. and johnny's got him in his sights-- he can't miss. he ain't there. -what do you mean, he ain't there? well, like i said, he ain't there. i looked all over for him. you never should have sent that dern kid down there! why didn't you let a man handle it? -! he might have changed position. do you believe that? no, i reckon i don't. where that old buzzard is now? -howdy, josh. i wished i had a quart of that stuff. that slug still in there, curly? yeah, it's still in. feels just like a hot branding iron. -josh, how about us getting this over with so i can get to a sawbones? i've got to get this slug out of here. yeah, you take it easy for a spell, curly. and you favor that shoulder. gus, you go on back down to where johnny was and keep your eyes peeled. -jake, let's you and me see if we can't do something about these cartwright boys. get the rifles. if pa is coming, i sure hope he brings some sandwiches. i swear my stomach's so empty a chicken liver would feel like a full meal. well, you can't have any food. -how come? you're wounded. a wounded man ain't supposed to have anything. not even water. dad burn it, i'm wounded in the leg, not in the belly. -well, that don't make any difference, right, joe? that's right. i heard it from a doctor in virginia city. really? mm-hmm. -it'll kill ya. why, them dirty, no-good-for-nothin', grubbing'... take food right out of a man's mouth. hey, adam. yeah? -see that little clump of rocks up there, that dead bush in the middle? yeah. i got me a real live one in there. he's setting up a pattern. -every time i squeeze off a round at him, he fires one back at me before i can even clear my chamber. watch. you see him? uh-huh. try him again-- he's getting careless. -he's hit. yeah, you didn't even shoot. that's right. hey, must be pa. hey, hot diggity! -it is pa! cover him. he's coming in. hope he's got some sandwiches. we figured you weren't coming. -hey, pa, did you bring any food? yeah, i did. it was in my saddlebags, but i got bushwhacked. my horse spooked and run off. what happened to your leg? -oh, i-i got shot. it-it didn't bust no bones, i don't think. i can't, i can't walk on it, though. uh, pa, what kind of food was in them bags? i don't know- -hop sing said something about turkey, and i suppose there was some of that real tender roast beef of his. dadburn it. since you didn't make it here with it, i sure do wish he'd have sent cheese. cheese, why? -'cause i don't like cheese. thought maybe you went to virginia city to get the sheriff and a posse. oh, by the time i realized it was real trouble, i didn't have a horse. well, we don't want you to think we're not glad to have you with us, pa. -but that puts you in the same jam we're in. why not? my name's cartwright, too, isn't it? bad, son? not too bad. -easy, boy. how'd it happen? i don't know. i was shooting down at them three cartwrights, next thing i know, i'm hit. couldn't have been one of them, though. -they didn't have that angle on me. ben cartwright. had to be. johnny's gone... now you're hit. there. -that'll take care of the bleeding. pa, is it busted up bad? naw, it ain't nothing but a scratch! you'll hardly even have a scar to show to some pretty gal! give him another shot of that whiskey. -how is it? well, how would it be? he's shot, ain't he? i was just wondering. living this way, i always figured we'd catch some lead one day. -but thinking about it and seeing your boy with a slug in him is two different things. he might have been killed. this ain't exactly a bee sting i've got in my shoulder. yeah, i know it, curly, but it ain't the same thing. it may not be the same to you, josh, but it's the same thing to me. -well, them old buzzards holding up six men... it sure seems like... what six men? ain't you forgetting something? johnny's gone, you and jack are hit. the way i figure, that leaves only three, not six. -stinkin' ben cartwright! why did he have to stick his nose into this? what's he gonna do? let us keep his boys pinned down till he runs out of ammunition? one of 'em's wounded. -you think he's gonna like that? that'll turn him as mean as a trapped cougar. he all right? he's gonna be. did you see gus? -yeah, gus is all right, but i seen something else. what? ben cartwright is down there with his boys. what'd i tell ya? anybody else with him? -no, but he got in there with a couple of rifles and probably some extra ammunition. he's gonna be a tough nut to crack. i never said he wouldn't be, did i? you never said nothing! you're so full of ideas, now, come on, let's hear one of 'em. -well, first off, i think you better take curly across country to silver city and find a sawbones. that slug in his shoulder has got to come out. all right, all right, but what about the herd? right now, that herd we rustled don't seem so important. what are you aimin' to do, just walk out of here? -you got a better idea? yeah! i'll give the orders. now why don't you just try that? ah, i never should have throwed in with you in the first place. -i might know you'd go soft. just because a man don't want to see his sons get killed don't mean he's goin' soft. as far as i'm concerned, it does. uh... curly, think you can set a horse? -you just lead me to him. all right, we better get out of here. curly, you take care of that shoulder, boy. thanks, josh. what are you doing that for, pa? -for to keep from getting shot when i talk to ben cartwright. what do you want to talk to him for? you got shot. they might get gus. it's pretty quiet, pa. -yeah. hey, pa, look. it's josh tatum. dang if i trust him. hold it, hold it, hold it. -but pa! never mind. just do as i say. i'm still running this show. howdy, ben. -josh. how's the big 'un? a little late to show concern, isn't it? and for the record, he has a clean wound in the leg. he'll be all right. -jack got shot in the arm. well, what'd you expect, that nobody'd get hurt? ben, i didn't figure it'd turn out this way. you see... we've been rustling some of your stock. well, it didn't seem like much, you having so many. -didn't hardly seem like stealing. and i suppose ambushing my sons didn't seem much like shooting! i was miles away when the big 'un got shot! oh, now you're gonna tell me that if you'd been here, you'd have put a stop to it! i done a lot of things in my time that i ain't proud of, ben, and today, i might have gotten my kids killed. -i might have killed one of yours. you're alive right now because you didn't. all right, ben! i only come back here because i'm sorry for what i done! i figured you was man enough to take into account that i ain't rich! -i ain't no boss of no ponderosa! i got the same feeling toward my boys as you got toward yours! well, maybe you ain't man enough. maybe all you want is just revenge. well, if that's what you want, you better dig in deep and save your ammunition. -that is, unless you shoot me in the back when i walk out of here! josh! now, nobody's going to shoot you in the back! we're pretty well holed-up here. we got plenty of ammunition. -if you and your gang figure you haven't had enough, you just say the word. we can start this ruckus all over again! don't you stand there yelling at me! well, do you want to go on with this or don't ya? do you want to try your luck again? -ben, you got me wrong. ain't all the cattle in nevada's worth one of our boys! that's what i come here to tell you! by golly. we're both reaching for the same conclusion, except we're butting our heads together like old billy goats. -no, we're like a couple of them she-bears with a litter of cubs. yeah. you ain't never tried to mess around with one of them, have you? who, me? -i got more sense than that. yeah, me, too. well, why are we messing with each other? i can't figure it. ben, there's me and my boys. -i figure we can rig up a litter and help you get the big 'un back to the ponderosa. then we'll help you round up the cattle that we rustled. afterward, you can take us down to virginia city to see the sheriff. yeah. let's get the boys out of here. -seeing as how i had to shoot one, i wish it had been the little 'un. thanks a lot! what's the matter you, mr. hoss? hop sing, i'm dying of starvation, that's all that's the matter with me. -i got turkey. good, that'll do for a starter. then later on, you can fix me a full meal. he make joke? i don't think so. -i got two turkey. all right, hop sing, that'll do for a start. you better get some beefsteaks going. the tatums are staying for dinner. i think they're hungry. -they've had a hard day. very good. very good. figured you'd want to get into virginia city to have jack's arm patched up, josh. the sooner, the better. -it's a, uh... long walk, so i had the, uh, boys saddle up three horses for you. more than decent of you, ben. soon as we see the sheriff, i'll have someone bring these horses back. -i reckon we'll be staying there quite a while. yeah, well, reckon you're right. rustling's a serious crime. i ain't denying it. of course, uh... seeing as how you didn't really go through with it, seeing as how you told us where the cows are... -i ain't asking no favors. i'm not offering any, excepting for the loan of the horses. i expect you'll want one of your boys to go along with us, see we get to the sheriff and then get these horses back to ya. why? can't i trust you? -ben... when i get straightened out with the law, i hope things will be different 'tween you and me. i mean... well, what are you waiting for? you gonna stand around here till you get blood poisoning in that arm? -! you heard mr. cartwright! if you ain't forgot how to ride, get started before i whale the tar out of both of you! dang wolf pups! raising kids ain't easy, ben. -no, sure isn't, josh. of course, there's one good thing-- a man can sure start taking it easy once his boys are grown big enough to take care of things. this has been a color presentation of the nbc television network. mosfilm studios so, you're saying it's all my fault?

i'm not in love. to be beloved is a misfortune. it's a misfortune, for you know that you can't return her love. for christ's sake. -i have never lied - to her or to myself. i thought: thank god, at last i'm in love. but then i realized it was an involuntary lie. it was the wrong love. i couldn't go on, but she did. -it's not my blame i could not live like this anymore. anyway, everything is over. you have never loved. you don't know what love is. i have never loved?

or to get some abrek, alive or dead? -why, always eroshka. because i was a real brave, the best hunter, a drinker, a singer... i'll come and fulfill my mission, and general skozyrev himself will bring out a this big jug of punch for me! all is a fraud, though. when you die the grass will grow on your grave. -a this high grass. and so when you die the grass will grow?

till tomorrow morning. well, god grant you get something good. -as i've just been saying. and i say so too what a lot of visitors have come. i heard they'll build a bridge across the terek. and i've been told that they will dig a pit to put the girls in because they don't love the lads. -i say, maryana, is the new chief now living in your house? what spruced-up lads, eh. and where have you put up the chief? we've let him have the new hut. and is he old or young? -do you think i've asked? ask daddy eroshka. and have you come for long? till the morning. give me some sunflower seeds. -don't take them all. really i felt so dull all the time without you. i wont come, i tell you. i wanted to say to you... by the heavens! -do come! mommy's calling! supper time! i'm coming. i had better go home too, that will be best. -and they say the girls will have to make the soldiers' beds and offer them chikhir and honey. what an accursed devil! you frightened me! so you have not gone home? what i wanted to tell you, by heaven... -what are you talking of, at night time! you'd better go to your sweetheart. wait, maryana. well, what do you want to say? don't laugh at me, maryana. -well, what if i have a sweetheart? may the devil take her! only say the word and now i'll love you - i'll do anything you wish. others have pleasures, and i? -i get no pleasure from you. why keep me waiting and waiting? don't i love you? don't bluster, lukashka. it's true i am a girl, but you listen to me! -if you love me i'll tell you this... let go my hands, i'll marry you, but you'll never get any nonsense from me, what, you'll marry me? marriage does not depend on us. -love me yourself, maryana. my dear! wait, maryana... listen to me... go, you'll be seen! -that devil, our lodger, is walking about the yard. it's all a fraud... fraud... fraud... whose was the finest horse? who had a gurda sword? of course eroshka. -whom did the girls love? why, always eroshka! kunak! kunak! do you know who is singing there? -it is the brave, lukashka. he has killed a chechen and now he rejoices, that fool. and have you ever killed people? what are you asking? one must not talk so. -it is a serious thing to destroy a human being. good-bye, my dear fellow. i've eaten my fill and am drunk, what people, what a life! be quiet, soldier. -i noticed the track of deer here yesterday. an antlered one! here it stood. we should have come round by the path.... fool! -fool! fool! pig! here am i sitting where a stag used to live... an old stag, a beautiful stag who perhaps had never seen a man, -here i sit, and pheasants are fluttering, jackals creeping at a safe distance, mosquitoes hang in the air and buzz: one, two, three, four, a hundred, a thousand, a million mosquitoes, and each one of them is separate from all else, as i am myself, dmitri olenin... -this way, this way, lads! here's some one you can eat! i'm not a russian nobleman, but just such a mosquito, or pheasant, or deer, just as they, just as daddy eroshka, i'll live awhile and die, and grass will grow, that's all. -the grass will grow? so what the grass will grow? still i must live and be happy, happiness is this! happiness lies in living for others. -the desire for happiness is innate in every man, therefore it is legitimate. daddy eroshka! daddy eroshka! salute, guys! which of you is luka gavrilov? -i have reported your exploit to the commander. i've recommended you for a cross. you're too young to be made a sergeant. put on your cap. which of the gavrilovs do you come of? -his nephew. good for you. well, lend a hand, help them. careful. which of them killed him? -what did he say? you had better not meet him again now, mate! why do you smoke? is it good? it's just a habit. -what are you doing here? i got lost in the forest. i'll take you, if you like. it's not a long way, is it. still you won't make it. -why are you walking around, so incautious? i'm not afraid. go back, and thank you. it's all right! what have i to do? -come in with me. we'll have a drink and in the morning you can go back. couldn't i find a place to spend the night? i heard you singing last night, and also saw you. i'm human, too. -is it true you are getting married? mother wants me to marry. but i have not got a horse yet. aren't you in the service? i've only just joined and haven't got a horse. -so i can't get married yet. and what would a horse cost? i bargained for a nogay horse, but they would not take 60 rubles for it. i will give you a horse. really now, i have two and i don't want both. -don't want both? yes. we'll get on by ourselves by god's help. have you a house of your own in russia? i own several houses. -and a mansion. and a dog-pound. and have you horses such as ours? i have a hundred horses, worth 300 or 400 rubles each. they are trotters, you know. -but still, i like the horses here best. did you come here of your own free will, or not? i came by my own wish. i wanted to see your parts. you may join others in an expedition. -aren't you horrified at having killed a man? and what did you want to come here for, as rich as you are. do you find it pleasant living among us? yes, very pleasant. wait here. -it's yours. why should you give me a present? i have not yet done anything for you. and you will take me along on an expedition. but what do you mean by it? -this horse costs a fortune. take it, take it! if you don't you will offend me. vanya. say farewell to the grey horse. -i'll keep the bridle. don't, vanya. they'll send me money soon. luka, take the saddle, too. vanya, bring us some chikhir. -thank you. this is something unexpected, undreamt of. vanya! it's a good horse. i bought it in groznyi. -it gallops splendidly! god bless you, dmitry andreevich. we will be kunaks. i'll go with you to the mountains, across the river, a-hunting. i'll be your murid. -thank you. is the tea ready? i'm like anyone else. like a pheasant or deer or daddy eroshka... i'll live awhile, and then will die, and grass will grow on my grave. -grass will grow... it won't, dmitry andreevich. not in the stone crypt at your estate. one should sacrifice himself in everything... look for people whom you will help and whom you will love to spread a web of love and to take all who come into it... -it will get torn, dmitry andreevich, your web of love will get torn. dmitry andreevich! my dear fellow! beletsky! olenin - in this hole! -what are you doing here? i dispatched a message to the local commander. i enjoyed a warm welcome as a friend of elizaveta. countess trubetskaya? -countess voronstova, your old acquaintance. she got married to the commander's son and is a big figure in these parts. and you came to tell me this? why? that would be impolite. -but you were her flame, wasn't you. stop it, beletsky. don't you gossip about your uppers. i understand: it's rousseau, chateaubriand, pushkin's gypsies... and you yourself compose prose, too. -i'm living a different life now. you complicate everything. i was put up at the cossack corporal's house. there is such a girl there. ustenka! -she's just charming. and she calls me granddaddy. you're invited to tomorrow's ball. a ball? a ball will consist of a pie and a gathering of girls. -what should we do there? you're such a strange fellow! do go to that ball, sir. one can't admire le femme just through the window. vanya speaks reason. -i humbly beg you to do honour to my patron saint i kindly thank you. to you, ustenka. thank you. what about the guests? -kindly sit down. girls don't drink. we might, with a little honey. the honey... olenin... -and gingerbreads. maryana, please join us at the table. young ladies, come on... sit down, please. have some gingerbreads. -dear friends. now our host ustenka is to offer chikhir to everybody with a kiss. very well. but on one condition: everyone should put money on my plate, as during the wedding. -maryana is a wonderful girl, a real beauty. have some, granddaddy. and now offer some to dmitry andreevich. be my guest, dmitry andreevich. we are rich, girls. -and now you, maryana. i'll give you such a kiss! one can kiss granddad without payment. there's a sensible girl. offer a glass to your lodger. -what a beauty. a beautiful girl. let's run away, girls! ... why did you allow a kiss from beletsky but not from me? -oh, just so. i don't want to, that's all. he's a granddad. why have you locked the door, you devils? well, let them be there and us here. -beletsky! beletsky! open the door! what a stupid joke! ah, you're afraid of me? -yes, you know you're as cross as your mother. spend more of your time with eroshka, that will make the girls love you! and if i were to come to see you? that would be a different matter. we'll have to go away. -ustenka's mother returned from her work and got very angry. let's go away. olenin had entered into the life of the cossack village so fully that his past seemed quite foreign to him. as to the future, especially a future outside the world in which he was now living, it did not interest him at all. here he felt freer and freer every day. -often it seriously occurred to him to quit everything, to get registered as a cossack and marry a cossack woman (only not maryana, whom he conceded to lukashka), and to live with daddy eroshka and go shooting and fishing with him. why ever don't i do it? what am i waiting for? there, i've exchanged your horse across the river. -this is a horse! well? are you getting married? a kabarda horse from the lov stud. what would you take for it? -i have been offered 150 rubles for it, but i'll give it you for nothing. no, on no account. well then, here is a dagger i've brought you. i got it from across the river. -oh, thank you! and mother has promised to bring you some grapes. and when is the wedding to be? i'll come for the betrothal, and then i'll return to the company again. what, and see nothing of your betrothed? -what is the good of looking at her? when you go on campaign ask in our company for lukashka. a lot of boars in our parts! we'll go a-hunting. well, goodbye. -thank you for everything. shall we buy some booze? not now. wait here. hasn't the cadet given you anything more? -i paid him back with a dagger, he nearly asked for the horse. gee... it's i. open up. what do you want? maryana dear! -who is that with you? go, be quick! lukashka was asking for daddy. well then send him here! he's gone, said he was in a hurry. -nazar! she wouldn't let me in! i knew she wouldn't. the cornet has begun going to their house. eroshka got a gun from him for getting him maryana. -he lies, the old devil! she's not such a girl. if he does not look out i'll wallop that old devil's sides. many things have i pondered over lately and much have i changed. he was still more aware of his own weakness and artificiality. -he could not forget himself and his complex, distorted past. every day he delighted in the beauty of the mountains and of that self-contained woman. and he thought: this only possible happiness and this woman are not for me... write on, write on, my lad. -you'll burn, little fool! you're asking for it... i've been to the betrothal at the cornet's. i came with my balalaika. i'm a master at it. -tartar or cossack, squire or soldiers' songs, any kind you please. come, leave off, my lad, leave off! people have injured you but leave them alone, spit at them! you're writing all the time. what's the good of writing quibbles? -it's all a fraud. better have a spree and show you're a man. you'll die, and grass will grow on your grave. have fun! ah, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dim, -say where did they last see him? in a booth, at the fair, he was selling pins, there. oh, my dear friend! you are gone, my young days, and will never come back! -drink, why don't you drink! is it because of my talent, some kind of talent, unknown talent... or is it just my fate -my bitter fate... my unhappy star... can it be that my fate was sealed sealed forever... -and all my life will be full of sufferings till my last day till my very death... who was shooting? -what happened? eh, folks... let's go inside, my dear fellow. and lukashka, is he happy? won't he come to see me? -what, lukashka? they've lied to him as if i am getting his girl for you. but what's the girl? she will be ours if we want her. give enough money - and she's ours. -no, daddy, money can do nothing if she does not love me. we are not loved, you and i. we are forlorn. god grant it, now we can afford to hold the wedding. did you see the horse -luka exchanged for the previous one? why do you keep silent? darling, sweetheart. why, you've learnt it from granddad. stop it! -let's have some sleep. but i wanted to tell you such a thing. well, what is it? i know something about your lodger! there's nothing to know. -oh, you rogue of a girl. won't tell anything? does he come to you? he does. what of that? -you blushed. and why should i pretend? i love him. granddad, do you mean? ' -and the sin? ah, maryana! when is one to have a good time if not while unmarried? when you marry luka, all joy will be gone. it will be only daily chores and kids. -well, some who are married live happily. what has passed between you and lukashka? there was a betrothal. they'll marry me off in autumn. but what did he say to you? -what should he say? he said he loved me. he kept asking me to come to the vineyards with him. just see what pitch! but you didn't go, did you? -what else did he say? must you know everything? one night he came to my window tipsy, and asked me to let him in. and you didn't let him? -let him, indeed! no girl would refuse him. well, let him go to the others, ah, if i were in your place i'd soon turn the lodger's head! -they say he is the richest of the russians. his orderly says they have serfs of their own. do you know what he once told me? he said: 'i'd like to be lukashka the cossack, or your brother...' -what do you think he meant? oh, just chattering what came into his head. what does mine not say! just as if he was possessed. mine is back. -i mean, the lodger. i didn't find a single one. what an idea - to look for hares during harvesting. you had better come and help us, and do some work with the girls. girls, get up! -you'll kill the womenfolk like this. no, i won't. you should help me. must they all be cut? isn't this one too green? -give it here. are you going to be married soon? do you love lukashka? why should you care? i envy him! -very likely! you are so beautiful! whatever i am, i'm not for you. why do you make fun of me? making fun? -if you only knew how i... i don't know what i would not do for you... leave me alone, you pitch! dmitry andreevich, come and help me, i am all alone. maryana! -i feel real love for the first and only time in my life. what am i to do? i imagined her now as my mistress and now as my wife, but rejected both ideas with disgust. to make her a wanton woman would be dreadful. to turn her into a fine lady, the wife of dmitry olenin, like a cossack woman here who is married to one of our officers, would be still worse. -now could i turn cossack like lukashka, and steal horses, get drunk on chikhir, sing rollicking songs, and when drunk climb in at her window for the night without a thought of who and what i am then we might understand one another... and i might be happy. live for others, and do good? why? when in my soul there is only love and the desire to love her and to live her life with her? today i will go and tell her everything. -i saw ... fine! fine! i'll go and tell them at the office, and i'll tell her father! that's a fine cornet's daughter! one's not enough for her. -what do you want of me, what are you after? nothing just see what a clever cadet! come here. -nothing happened. she did not let me in. she is an honest girl. it was my blame, so i give this! don't tell anyone. -goodbye. i receive letters of condolence from russia. they are afraid that i shall perish, buried in these wilds. they say about me: he will become coarse, he will take to drink, and who knows but that he may marry a cossack girl and thus will be lost for the society. -how terrible! how despicable and pitiable you, in your delusions, seem to me! when i picture to myself, in place of my hut, my forests, and my love, - those drawing-rooms, those obtuse faces and that chatter of obligatory conversation, i feel unendurably revolted. you need only see what truth and beauty are, and then it becomes clear who is ruining himself and who is living truly or falsely - you or i. -you or i? .. olenin, get dressed. vanya, prepare provision for two days. what happened? -we're going on campaign. get your lord's horse ready. i find your crowd so despicable and pitiable. you know nothing about happiness and life. you should keep away from this village, olenin. -i do not live my own life, there is something stronger than me which directs me. what are you talking about? what's going on? i know what's going on. i do not fear to be degraded by this feeling, -i am not ashamed of my love, i am proud of it. very well then, be proud. let's go. let's go. -we shall get st. george crosses for this campaign. what are you talking about? we are of the chosen circle. we have high acquaintances. i packed your sacks and the rum, too. -i prefer you stayed 'a la maison'! i left my smoking pipe. what ill luck, brothers. you'd better smoke cigarettes, like i do at home. they're much sweeter. -gimme a smoke, brothers. here you go. thanks. and what is this? cigarettes. -he treats others to cigarettes, he has lots of grain back at home. and i wasn't even home on leave. what for? my two brothers living from hand to mouth. and me a soldier is just another mouth to feed. -after 25 years in the army, i'm a bad helpmate for them. and i don't even know whether they are alive. but them gentry feel nice everywhere. imagine, folks: we climb stone mountains, treading someone else's fields... -but what for? isn't the earth big enough? put out the campfires! my death hath come... my dear brothers... -the war... what a strange phenomenon... when your mind keeps asking: can wars be justified by anything? and your inner voice says no - again and again... -good evening. good evening. maryana, bring some clotted cream and wine for dmitry andreevich. have our potluck. thank you. -we have enough of everything and don't grumble. stay with us, maryana. no, my hair is undone. we will soon make merry together at the wedding. and when is the wedding to be? -it ought to be next week. we are quite ready. i have prepared everything for maryana. only lukashka has been too much on the spree lately. the other day a cossack said he had been to nogay. -what if he gets caught? i told him: "don't you get into mischief". but he is so full of dash. i saw him in the division, he was always merry-making. -he does no one any harm. he makes merry with his own money. there he is! didn't i tell you! alive? -alive. woman, give me the chikhir. no chikhir for you. go away! ah, you.... -let's go to your room, my dear fellow. let them be on their own, and we'll be on our own. you got drunken on the eve of the feast, may plague take you! i'll.. go away! -may you be shot in your bowels and in your heart! vanya, give them some wine. will you never take pity on me? i can't tell you how i love you. just hear how the wine is speaking! -you'll get nothing from me! don't marry lukashka. i will marry you. will you marry me? ' -i am not myself. i'll do anything for you! i love you. not with my mind or my imagination, but with my whole being. loving you i feel myself to be an integral part of all god's joyous world. -don't you lie. gentlemen don't marry cossack girls. go away! but will you? everything... -and what shall we do with lukashka? ' will i be able to say the same tomorrow? yes, i will! i will! -i will! and i died no end of times. priests would come persuading me, telling me about wine and women and my balalaika. why didn't you tell me from the very beginning? you are such a strange fellow. -one day i will tell you everything. only please, arrange for her to come. well, have you carried off many nogay horses? i haven't counted them, daddy eroshka. good evening, girls! -good evening! you've grown old without me, you witches! have you brought much money? have you come for long? we have just flown across to make a night of it. -it's long since we saw you! step up on my stirrup and i'll carry you away to the mountains. i'll kiss, oh, how i'll kiss you! oh, bother you! you'll crush my feet. -ustenka! there, i give them to all of you! come tonight and bring maryana. answer me, dost thou hold me in contempt? when we shall married be thou wilt weep because of me! -you'll come? please do, if only for a minute. i must speak to you. if the other girls come, i will. will you answer? -answer what? what i asked you yesterday. will you marry me? i'll tell you tonight. answer me, my dear, dost thou hold me in contempt? -when we shall married be thou wilt weep because of me! well, are you going to have another turn? the other girls may if they like, but i am going home and maryana was coming to our house too. don't go, maryana. let's have some fun for the last time. -go home and i will come to you! what am i to do at home? feasts are meant for merrymaking. i'll marry you all the same, you know! all right, we shall see when the time comes. -so you are going. there, leave off! don't bother. ah my girl, it will turn out badly. what will turn out badly? -why, that! that what? why, that you keep company with a soldier-lodger and no longer care for me! i'll care just as long as i choose. you're not my father, nor my mother. -i'll care for whom i like! well, all right... girls! why have you stopped? go on dancing! -nazarka! i'm here! pass out the chikhir and gingerbreads among the girls. we'll make merry! will you marry me? -you will deceive me. but do you love me? tell me for god's sake! why shouldn't i love you? you don't squint. -what white, white, soft hands you've got so like clotted cream. i am in earnest. tell me, will you marry me? why not, if father gives me to you? well then remember, i shall go mad if you deceive me. -tomorrow i will tell your mother and father. i'll come and propose. what's the matter? it seems so funny! bother you, someone may see. -never mind! good-night, maryana. tomorrow i'll come to see your father and talk to him. don't you say anything to him. why should i! -what will become of her, of me, and of lukashka? now i don't care. i delighted in her beauty just as i delighted in the beauty of the mountains and the sky, for she is as beautiful as they. for such love there are no words. it needs life, the whole of life. -to-morrow everything will be cleared up. let everyone know! ride towards the upper cordon! what happened? abreks stole our horses! -vanya, make my horse ready! are they far? our gurka is having shots at them, look out or they will kill you. you should better leave. -you have no business here get a hay-cart - we'll hide behind it. don't kill him. and i wanted to save your life... nazar! -.. maryana, i have come. leave me alone! what are you crying for? -what is it? what is it? cossacks have been killed, that's what for. lukashka? go away! -what do you want? you will never get anything from me! don't speak like that. get away. i'm sick of you! -nevermore did olenin say to himself that all he had thought and done here was 'not it'. he loved maryana more than ever, and knew that now he could never be loved by her. only daddy eroshka was seeing him off. they had a drink, and then another, and then another. when you go on an expedition, be wise. -when it's a lot of shooting, don't get into a crowd. when you fellows get frightened you always stick to each other. but that's where it is worst of all! they always aim at a crowd. yet i was being shot at so many times. -vanka sitny, one of the cossacks, got merry, and puff! he gave me one from his pistol just here. yes, and did it hurt? and i say: "you've killed me, brother. -eh! what have you done to me? i won't let you off! you'll have to stand me a pailful!" but did it hurt? -he stood a pailful, and we drank it. but the blood went on flowing. granddad burlak, he says, "the lad will give up the ghost. stand a bottle of the sweet sort -they brought more drink, and we boozed and boozed... but did it hurt? i don't like to be interrupted, eh. we boozed and boozed till morning, and i fell asleep on the top of the oven, drunk. -and lukashka, is he still alive? he just lies as if he were dead. he does not eat nor drink. vodka is the only thing his soul accepts. don't you cry for lukashka, dmitry andreevich. -who else shall i cry for? cry for yourself. you're unloved. god grant it, lukashka will come around. they sent for a doctor in the mountains. -goodbye, daddy. is that the way to say goodbye? fool, fool! we've kept company, kept company for well-nigh a year and now goodbye and off he goes! i can neither come here or leave here in your way, -eroshka. why, i love you, and how i pity you! you are so forlorn, always alone. it would leave me sleepless, so much i pity you. for, as the song goes: -'oh, what a sad fate it is to live in a foreign land...' so it is with you. well, good-bye. give us your mug, your mug! i love you, goodbye! -goodbye, my forlorn one. well, is that how you're going? you might give me something for a remembrance. give me a gun! what do you want two for? -what a lot you've given him - he'll never have enough! a regular old beggar. hold your tongue, swine! such irregular people. what a stingy fellow! -drive on! good-bye, my lad! good-bye. i won't forget you! ( noirish jazz theme playing ) -and that was not the only time he struck her. oh, no. again not long afterwards when they were having guests for an out-of-door... barbering? barbecue? -yes. thank you. barbecue. uh, when lola accidentally tipped the steaks into the fire, he lost his temper with her. mr. patton, the president of his company, was there. -he saw it. he can tell you. there were many people there, your honor. when the steaks fell in the fire, he spanked me in front of everybody. well, that's not quite true, your honor. -when i suggested that the steaks were overdone, she threw 'em into the fire. you said they were worthless, what was i supposed to do? i did not say they were worthless, and as for that spanking-- mr. bronson, it was my understanding you were not going to contest this action. well, your honor, i'm not just gonna stay here and let her make me into some kind of a sadist. -you are a sadist. judge: that's quite enough. i realize you're both under an emotional strain. the breakup of a marriage causes deep wounds, painful wounds. -but you must remember this is a court of law. ( sighs ) yes, sir. is there any possibility at all, mrs. bronson, of a reconciliation, of your going back to your husband? i'd rather be dead. -well, that goes for me too. very well. plaintiff is granted an interlocutory degree. ( dramatic theme playing ) you have your divorce, mrs. bronson. -sadist. oh, i wish now i'd really belted you. try it. just try it. ( gavel banging ) -thank you for your help, mr. gillman. perry, thanks for coming out. old friend in court never hurts. she signed the agreement, just as you drew it up. i gathered that from the fact you weren't contesting, and there was no objection to giving you a 90 day option on her company stock. -she wanted to get rid of me so bad that she probably would have given me the stock itself, if i had asked for it. a hundred thousand shares is a high price to pay to get rid of even you, jeff. well, she's done it. and we've got what we want. control of bronson aircraft, with her option, and your shares and mine. -( door closes ) ( horn honks ) who is that? bill ryder. our chief test pilot. -well, that's that. goodbye, lola. shall we, uh, get a drink or something? i'd better get back to los angeles, jeff. can i give you a lift, mr. patton? -well, thanks, but i gotta go over to the test center with jeff. you know, our new plane gets its final checkout tomorrow. yes, i know. good luck. ( plane engine starting ) -how's it going, clarence? oh. both engines sweet and smooth as china silk. too bad the test's tomorrow, instead of today. eh, jeff, you wanna check 'em now? -i just design planes, clarence. you make 'em run. if you say the engines are okay, they're okay. give them another check in the morning, though. figured to about an hour before takeoff. -good. well, got your seat belt fastened, baby? yes. afternoon, gentlemen. pleasure to see you again. -i thought i told you to stay away from here, walker. heh, heh. now, mr. bronson, it happens that i'm here by invitation. well, i thought you ought to hear his latest offer, jeff. i told you, and i told you too, walker. -no offers, late or otherwise. now you've got things a little twisted, son. you see, i'm selling, not buying. selling? selling what? -well, let's call it, uh, insurance. i have here a confidential report on the bronson aircraft company. "company has exhausted cash reserves "perfecting an experimental executive plane "that will outperform all similar aircraft. -"should plane be successfully tested and certified, "company's common stock, "now selling at slightly under $1, will rise sharply." now, i might add that should the plane be unsuccessfully tested, the stock will drop sharply. no argument about that. -so why not insure, mr. bronson? one hundred thousand dollars for half of your share of the company. fifty thousand dollars to patton for half of his share. now, if the plane is successfully tested, we all share in the bonanza. if it's unsuccessful, well, then, you'd salvage a tidy little nest egg. -jeff. sorry to break in. i'm all cleared to take off for la. mind if i give lola a lift? why should i mind? -well, it being a company plane, me being a diplomat, uh, just thought i'd ask. well, you can take her. welcome. a pleasure, boss. you were about to say something, mr. bronson? -something quite simple, mr. walker. you've been trying to move in on our company for nearly a year now, and i'm fed up. jeff, he's only making a perfectly reasonable offer. okay. i'm unreasonable. -walker, i don't want to see, hear or smell you again, ever. is that clear? ( aircraft engine humming ) court. you helped dad build up this company, became president when he died, and you know how he dreamed and worked for this plane. -i know, jeff. you also know walker's reputation. you give him a foothold, and the next thing you know he's in control. and once in control, he'll sell us to conair or skycraft so they can junk our plane to protect their own production lines. now, i'm not gonna sit quiet for that, not when it's no longer a dream, but a reality. -jeff, what if reality comes unglued tomorrow? it won't. that plane'll take anything we or the faa can give it. court... you haven't already accepted walker's offer, have you? -what? no, of course not. good. by tomorrow, you'll wonder why you ever listened to him. i hope so. -jeff, about you and lola. i, uh... i'm really very sorry. i wish i could say the same. jeff. -hello, violet. w-was that bill just taking off? well, darn him. was he supposed to see you before he left? well, when you live in the sagebrush and your husband lives in the city, it would be rather nice if he stopped to wave to you once in a while, don't you think? -yeah. say, lola wasn't with him, was she? yes, she was. why? well, then get out another glass, dad. -we're going to drink a confusion. a confusion? yep. to lola and bill. why include lola? -well, why not? bill's been buzzing around her like a bee around a daffodil for the last six months. or didn't you know that? no, i didn't. i've had other problems. -all right. to lola and bill. a confusion. a confusion. well, baby, let's celebrate. -celebrate what? oh, you being a free woman and me about to come into a big inheritance. bill, what are you doing? the plane will crash. ah, not a chance. -it's on automatic pilot. but what if we meet another plane? you don't wanna live forever, do you? besides... here, have-- have a little of this. -it'll help you relax. no, thanks. better change your mind, honey. i'm gonna really tie one on. bill, you have the test flight tomorrow morning, don't you? -oh, i could fly that plane in my sleep. you kidding? besides, gonna have a little help from my trusty friend in the back. lola: your parachute? -know something else? you're gonna bail out on this okay too. i'm seeing to that. see to what? don't you worry. -just you be grateful. in fact, how about a little gratitude in advance? you know, lola, ever since i saw you down in argentina that day, you've had me in a tailspin. now that jeffy's gone bye-bye... bill, don't. -stop it. stop it. oh, well. it's not so good out of a bottle anyway. but just wait till i open that bottle of champagne. -ho-ho. ( dramatic theme playing ) ( knocking on door ) who is it? jeff. -jeff. what do you want? where's lola? she's gone to bed. you can't go in there. -okay. you give her the message. you tell her to stay away from bill ryder. what do you care what happens to lola now? i'll tell you... -she's a silly, no-use, extravagant dame... but i brought her here from argentina, and lived with her for three years, and i feel responsible for her. like you would a stray cat that you picked up. stray cat, am i? silly? no-use? -extravagant? well, let me tell you what you are: a stupid ox. and as far as bill ryder goes, i will see him when, how, and as often as i like. so? so it's your funeral. -but, uh, let me tell you this. i won't be among the mourners. ( door closes ) ( plane engine humming ) well, lola. -i didn't expect to see you here. i decided to come, that's all. i'm still reading you loud and clear, bill. stand by. he's at 15,000 feet and the clouds are just above him. -tell him he's gotta climb to 20,000 feet. clouds or no clouds. ground to flyboy. ground to flyboy. climb to 20,000 feet. -does he have to go up that high, jeff? that's part of the final test. we're asking the faa for a certification for 18,000 feet, and we wanna make sure the plane has a little left to spare. oh, i see. jeff. -he's past 17 now. we want instrument readings at 18. certainly gets up there fast, doesn't he? you know, that's not only the speed, it's the streamlining. modulair-flow, jeff calls it. -i know. you know, if we can just pass these tests today, we could capture the executive plane market for the whole country, lola. and the way jeff's increased the speed-- i know all that, court. keller ( over radio ): -are you above the clouds yet? just pulling out now. what's your altimeter reading? twenty thousand feet. still got plenty of climb left in her. -bill, this is jeff. that's far enough. level out now, level out. do you read me? read you loud and clear. -how soon you want me to jump off the high board? start your dive whenever you're ready, and don't forget, a sharp pullout at 12,000 feet. wilco. sharp pullout at 12,000 feet. here goes. -( plane approaching ) three hundred,325. three fifty. she's really moving now. three seventy-five. -four hundred. yeah, got some vibration in the tail section. end runs aren't working. pieces falling off the wings. bill. -pull out. pull out. never mind the test. can't pull out. stick's dead. -pieces flying off the wings. end run's aren't working. i can't do anything. i can't. jeff: -bill. come in, bill. what's happening? come in, come in. jeff, the plane. -( suspenseful theme playing ) ( loud boom ) get the firefighting rig, joe, harry. jeff. jeff, look up there. -thank heaven. what do you think went wrong? i don't know. ( sirens wailing faintly ) i don't know, but it's a major disaster for all of us. -and for the company. what is it you're thinking, lola? you haven't said a word since we came back. is it about the loss of your money in jeff's business? you know i was against that. -i know. and i was against your marrying jeff as well. how right i was. but just think, darling. now we can go back to argentina. -back to the estancia. i'm not so sure about the estancia, conception. aren't you going back to argentina? oh, of course i am. but i put nearly $300,000 into jeff's company, part of which i borrowed. -and to pay it back, it may be necessary to sell my land, that's all. that's all? lola, an o'higgins has been estanciero in that part for over a hundred years. oh, for heaven's sake. i'm fed up with ranch life, and it's my money, isn't it? -of course. i forget. i am only your poor cousin. but i am also an o'higgins. ( phone ringing ) -hello. a mr. walker? thank you. he told them at the desk he was to come right up. what does he want? -i don't know, but i'd like to talk to him alone. ( knocking on door ) come in. leander walker, mrs. bronson, and very much at your service. so you said on the phone, mr. walker. -but what is this service you are so anxious to render me? ( chuckling ) now that i like. right to the point. very unusual for a lady. -especially one so lovely. i have here a check for you, a very substantial check, and also a document for you to sign. fifty thousand dollars? in payment for your bronson aircraft stock at 50 cents a share. that's very generous of you, mr. walker, but jeff-- -i mean my ex-husband has a 90-day option on the stock. well, what of it? he couldn't pick up his option at ten cents a share, which is probably more than the stock is worth now. if that's so, why are you offering me so much more? oh, part of a deal i made with an admirer of yours. -just who is this admirer? he said you'd know. now, if you'll just sign this, giving me possession the day after your ex-husband's option expires-- i think you'd better leave, mr. walker. you're refusing my offer. -i'm asking you to leave right now, please. ( dramatic theme playing ) have you lost your mind, lola? what are you doing? who are you calling? -an admirer of mine. operator. all right, violet. if you want the unvarnished truth, we are through. have been for months. -me living here, you out in the sagebrush. never seeing each other. like strangers when we do. now, why don't you just be a good girl and run along? just like that, huh? -nine years and now i can just run along like a good girl. for nothing. for not even a share of, um, today's profits at all. profits? you think i wrecked that plane this morning? -well, didn't you? oh, vi, your imagination just gets bigger and bigger all the time. ha-ha! no, dear, i think you mean my ears do, don't you? you see, that's one advantage of being ignored so much. -you hear all sorts of things. now, suppose i told jeff about your meetings with that man walker. do you think he'd kill you... or just cripple you for life? ( doorbell rings ) who's that? -how should i know? well, suppose we find out. you're so anxious to get rid of me. all right, you win. you'll get your cut, violet, only-- -uh, half. half? all right, half. only, get outta here. use the french doors, will you? -( laughing ) and i'll call you tomorrow. oh, no, dear. i'll call you. ( doorbell rings ) -well, am i glad to see you. didn't i hear voices? oh, sure. on the radio. say, how about some champagne? -i just happen to have a bottle in the icebox. behind that's another bottle. i'd rather have a brandy. oh, good. i got even more of that. -say, lola... i wondered if you would explain something to me. what? well, leander walker phoned after you did. told me you didn't wanna accept his check. -why? perhaps first i wanted to see how much...gratitude i was expected to show. well, first i thought-- and besides, i wanted to know more about what you did today. -oh, got a haircut. shaved a second time, just for you, and-- what you did about the plane. lola, i thought you said you're through with jeff. i am. -okay, then what do you care what happens to him, or his plane or the company for that matter? then you did wreck the plane. well, did or didn't, you're getting your share, aren't you? you're gonna come out all right. walker's gonna buy your stock at a special price. -now let's get back to that gratitude bit. maybe i should be grateful to mr. walker instead. did he suggest that? look, uh, just between you and me, maybe i didn't fly that plane as good as i could have. i didn't realize you were so clever. -it sounded over the radio as if the plane really was falling apart. maybe i should've gone on the stage. i'll tell you one thing, though. i almost waited too long to jump. that would have been a pity, because then you wouldn't be able to telephone jeff and tell him all about this. -ho-ho. telephone jeff? you gotta be kidding. no, i'm not kidding. hey, uh, put that thing down. -i know how to use this, and i will unless you do what i say. now, go and dial jeff's number. look, lola, take it easy. you don't care for jeff anymore, he's the only one getting hurt by this thing. why don't you just relax, hon? -dial the number. ( suspenseful theme playing ) ( gunshot ) ( doorbell rings ) ( ringing doorbell ) -( suspenseful theme continues ) ( gunshot ) ( phone ringing ) ( phone continues ringing ) ( glass breaking ) -lola was gone, then, for an hour and a half? yes. she left around 10:30, and she returned about five minutes after midnight. when she came in, she looked as though she'd seen a ghost. and later, when i tried to find out what had happened, she wouldn't even let me in her room. -and that's when you called jeff? no, no. i called jeff earlier. that's the first time i tried to place a call to mr. bill ryder. to, um, ask him what had happened? -conception: yes. uh, tell me, miss o'higgins, why did you call jeff? well, shortly after lola left i became alarmed. i knew perfectly well she was going to the house of mr. ryder, and i didn't think that she should. -so i called jeff for advice. and, uh, what was his advice? he said, "leave ryder to me," and then he hung up. and since 7:00 this morning i have been placing call after call to mr. ryder, and i haven't gotten any answer. -wouldn't that, on top of how lola looked, make one wonder if something had not happened, mr. mason? jeff didn't answer at the club. all right, do you have mr. ryder's telephone number? yes. empire 6-9500. -if something has happened to mr. ryder, just what is it you'd like us to do, miss o'higgins? i want you to protect lola in every way that you can. the same even if nothing has happened. this mr. ryder seems to have some kind of a hold over her. i'm sure of it from her manner. -and you want us to find out what that hold is? yes, so it can be dealt with. no answer. well, i can't commit myself as far as representing lola or jeff or anyone, miss o'higgins, until i find out what actually has happened. we'll be in touch with you later. -paul. ( ominous theme playing ) well, perry? well, paul? ( doorbell rings ) -perry. mason: glass. think the wind did this, paul? paul: -well, if it did, it also unlocked the door. maybe we've caught up with mr. ryder. mm-hm? ( sighs ) i'd say somebody else caught up with him first. -somebody with a gun. and... at exactly 11:58 last night, if this clock's right. which pretty well clears lola bronson. she'd have a hard time making the 15 or so miles to her hotel in five or six minutes. -mm-hm. and she doesn't look like the type to be knocking over the furniture, either. from the look of things, i'd say that ryder discovered a prowler, struggled with him and, uh, got killed in the process. somehow i don't think so, paul. -operator, i'd like police headquarters. ( indistinct speech ) yes, emergency. ( indistinct speech ) central police? -it. tragg, homicide, please. tragg: well, that's good of you to call me, perry. normally, you're not quite so thoughtful. you've been here all the time, lieutenant? -no, no. this, uh, lady, mrs. violet ryder, came in through this door and discovered her husband's body. called police and they notified me. mrs. ryder, wouldn't you like to wait in the car with the driver? yes, i would, thank you. -well, now, perry, could we have your story? yes, paul and i came here to see mr. ryder on behalf of, uh, some stockholders of the bronson aircraft company. he was their chief test pilot. yes, so i am told. we, uh, noted the broken door, and when we investigated we saw the body. -and then, as good citizens should, we put in a call to the police. well, then, now as good citizens, would you and paul mind clearing out so that we can get to work? or, uh, should you wait on behalf of your stockholders, perry? no. no need to stay, lieutenant. -come on, paul. ( dramatic theme playing ) perry. you were right. it wasn't a burglary. -glass only on the outside. broken from the inside. uh-huh, and if tragg hasn't already seen that, he will soon. we'd better move. i want you to find jeff bronson, bring him back to my office. -in the meantime, i'll talk to lola bronson. all right. of course i'm shocked. death by violence is always shocking. but why did you find it necessary to come here and tell me in person? -when i saw mr. mason today, i told him about your going to bill ryder's house last night, darling. and now you believe it was i who killed him? lola, mr. mason isn't here to accuse you of anything. he's here to help you. but why should i want or need help? -i was never in the house at all. i did drive there, but at the door i heard voices and i just went away. tell me, what time was it when you heard these voices inside? eleven or perhaps a few minutes after. -why? did one of the voices belong to jeff? no. besides, what would he be doing there? miss o'higgins called him last night, told him you were there. -conception: i'll explain later, darling. but jeff couldn't have been there. it was 10 minutes past 11 when i called him at his number. ( phone rings ) -hello. ( indistinct speech ) yes, he's here. mr. drake. thank you. -hello, paul. any luck with-- oh. yes, i see. thanks. -well, whether jeff was there or not, he's been picked up by the police. on what charge? murder. ( dramatic theme playing ) dr. willard, you have traced for us the path of the bullet through the rib cage of the deceased and into one of the ventricles of the heart. -how far would you say the pistol was held from the decedent's body at the time of the fatal shooting? ten to 12 inches, judging from the severity and the extent of the powder burns. did you discover anything unusual when you examined the body? yes, there was a mild contusion, or bump, on the back of the deceased's head. burger: -now, as an experienced pathologist who has examined hundreds of bodies, would you say, doctor, that the decedent had engaged in a violent struggle with some adversary immediately before death? i would say there had been no violent struggle with anyone. i see. thank you, doctor. that'll be all. -your witness. doctor, in your opinion, from the condition of the body, could the deceased have engaged in a mild struggle with someone before death occurred? i suppose so, with someone either unwilling or unable to exert much strength. a woman, perhaps? ( mysterious theme playing ) -perhaps. mason: thank you, doctor. that'll be all. the moment i saw the glass on the ground outside the french door, i-- i knew it wasn't burglary, even though somebody obviously wanted us to think that it was. -i see. now, lieutenant, i show you three bullets. one of them has already been identified as having been found in the deceased's body. now, i ask if you recognize these two slugs. tragg: -yes, sir. they have my identification marks on them. this one was found in the wall of the deceased's living room, and, uh, this one from a log in the fireplace. how do you account for the fact that three shots were fired? well, quite easily. -the murder shot, and then two more to bolster the burglary idea, to make it look like there had been a struggle. your honor, i move that both question and answer be stricken. the district attorney has enticed this witness into a conclusion. objection sustained. -question and answer will be stricken from the record. yes. i look at the stars through my telescope almost every night. yes, and what did you observe in the general vicinity of the ryder house? well, i made my usual observations about the time i got home from work, that's, uh, near to midnight. -made my usual sweep of the sky and city. we're only interested in the decedent's house, mr. phinney. well, i saw a man come out about 12:00, through the french doors. got into a car parked about a half block away. got the license number when he passed under the street light. -that's how they caught him so quick, when i gave that number to the police. you're sure about remembering the number? excellent memory. recall the license number. also recall another man tried the doorbell a little bit later. -no answer, so he left. you later saw another person try to get into the ryder house, and then leave? do you recognize that person in this courtroom today? yeah, that's him sitting right over there. keller: -well, sir, i was just looking for a place to sleep. see, i'd been in town checking on jobs, since it looked like the company was going broke in a hurry. anyway, it was too late to get back to the field, so i thought i'd stay with bill. done it before. dropped by there twice that night, there was no one home, so i went to a motel down the street. -i wanna go back now to something that took place earlier. i call your attention to the scene between violet ryder and the defendant at the test center's administration bungalow the night before the murder. loaded. both of 'em. had pretty well finished a whole bottle of whiskey before i joined them. -burger: what were they doing at that time? keller: well, telling how they fell in love. violet was saying how she was just a hat check girl when ryder first met her. -and, uh, jeff was telling how he and ryder had been forced down once in argentina, and how lola rode up to the plane looking like a goddess on horseback. fell in love with her the minute he saw her, jeff said. and then, well, then they started drinking confusions. and violet, why, she suggested a killing swap. burger: -killing swap? keller: yeah, uh, suggested she kill lola and that, uh, jeff kill ryder to pay 'em back for all the trouble they caused. and no one any the wiser. and, uh, well, they-- they drank to that. -'course i suppose they was just kidding. well, of course we were just kidding. well, if we were gonna do anything like that, you don't think we'd talk about it in front of a- of a sub-cretin of a mechanic, do you? mrs. ryder, you must confine yourself to answering mr. mason's questions. -i don't want to have to warn you again. okay, your honor. you have described how you found your husband's body, mrs. ryder, but you haven't yet told us when you last saw him alive. now, when was that? -well, i guess it was just after he parachuted down that morning. you're certain you didn't see him later? later that evening? no. no. -of course not. oh, look, mr. mason, i wish i had've been with him. then none of this would ever have happened. never. now, lieutenant, i recalled you at this time because you are the one charged with the ballistics tests on this pistol already introduced in evidence as people's exhibit four. -i'm the one. now, to review for a moment, you heard how the arresting officer, having given the defendant's license number by our friend with the telescope, went to mr. bronson's club downtown and impounded his car? how he waited there for the defendant to return and took him into custody for questioning? yes, sir, i heard. burger: -i am, of course, leading this witness, but since this is purely preliminary, i trust there is no objection. judge: you may proceed, mr. burger. you have heard also, have you not, how when a proper search was made of the defendant's car, the officer found this pistol and also this wallet, identified as belonging to the deceased, wrapped in rags and hidden under the spare tire -in the trunk of the defendant's car. tragg: i heard the officer so testify. now, lieutenant, i ask you what you found when the officer turned this pistol over to you for ballistic tests. i found it was registered to jefferson bronson, the defendant. -i, uh, found that a test slug matched all three slugs fired from the pistol found in the murder room. burger: and that meant what? tragg: that the fatal bullet, and the other two, came from the defendant's pistol. -no. this is all wrong. jeff didn't kill bill ryder. he couldn't have because i killed him. don't pay any attention to her, your honor. -sit down. i killed ryder. i told mr. mason i was never in the house, that i was being framed, but that was a lie. we fought over the gun and i shot him. then i tried to make it look like a burglary. -that isn't true. i did it. i killed him. she's lying. i killed him. -( crowd murmuring ) ( gavel banging ) burger: mrs. bronson, counsel for both sides are trying to get this straightened out at the suggestion of the court. so would you please start your story over from the beginning and tell it carefully and truthfully. -i got him to admit he'd deliberately wrecked jeff's plane. and then i took out the pistol jeff gave me when we moved out to the desert. i never gave her that gun. you'll have your say in a minute, jeff. -in the meantime, hold off. i wanted to make him call jeff and confess. but then he turned off the lights and grabbed me. the pistol fired and he fell. and when i got the lights on again, he was dead. -oh, that's all malarkey. she was never in the house. the body wasn't where she said it was, and what about the glass that she claims she drank out of? and the pistol. conception, did i give lola a pistol? -no, you did not. conception. there, you see, all lies. well, won't somebody believe me? i'm telling the truth. -i swear i am. mrs. bronson, would you and your cousin please wait in the reception room for a few moments? thank you. now, mr. bronson, let's have the highlights of your story again, if you don't mind. well, conception called me about 11:10, told me she was worried about lola being at ryder's alone. -i told her i'd take care of ryder, or something like that. so i got my gun and i drove over. i'd already figured out what he'd done that morning, and when he let me in and i saw no lola, i accused him of wrecking the plane. he got sore and came at me with a poker, so i shot him. -that's when i got the idea of the fake burglary. and then i fired another shot. there were two extra slugs found in the living room, jeff. i mean two extra shots, to make the struggle look like it was bigger than it was. and the glass with the whiskey? -you wiped it clean and put it with the others? look, perry. if lola had been in the house, which she hadn't, why should i cover for her? now, we're all through. mason: -why is she covering for you? well, who knows why a woman does anything? would you please return the prisoner to his cell? thank you, mr. bronson. ( dramatic theme playing ) -well, perry, which one would you rather defend? which one are you going to prosecute? ( dramatic theme swells ) well, one thing is certain: they both can't be guilty. -but i'd hate the thought of it being either one of them. they're such nice people. ( knocking on door ) mason: nice but stubborn. -hello, paul. hi, perry. what's burger gonna do, do you know yet? oh, he'll continue against jeff, probably, if only to prove he was right. and of course he has jeff nailed. -weapon. opportunity. what better motive than jealousy? not to mention wrecking a man's plane, ruining his company. if it weren't for that third bullet... -third bullet? jeff said that he fired two shots, then amended his story hastily when i reminded him that, uh, tragg had recovered three slugs. somebody else could have fired that pistol? it isn't likely, but it's about the only thing we have to go on. perry, maybe something i just found out fits in with that third bullet. -remember you asked us to check the whereabouts of violet ryder the night of the murder? what have you come up with? i had one of my men check the register of the motel where clarence keller stayed that night. violet was registered there too, not three blocks from the ryder house. well, all right. -so i was in town. what does that prove? it proves perjury, mrs. ryder, and a possible jail term. now, would you like to go to jail? oh, no. -no. oh, please, mr. mason, what do you want from me? i want the truth. now, you did pay a visit to your husband that night, didn't you? well, yes, but-- -well, i knew he was getting some money for that plane that he'd wrecked, and, well, i just wanted to talk to him about it, but he pushed me right out of the house. oh, look, mr. mason, if i told the police one thing i'd have to tell them the other. and i mean, their knowing about the plane couldn't help anyone, and, well, i was afraid it might just make things worse for jeff, that's all. now, this money your husband was getting. -did you expect to receive a share of it? yes. but only because i was bill's wife. i mean, there was nothing special that i knew. well, look, mr. mason, why don't you talk to courtney patton? -he must have been in on the deal too. yeah. i double-crossed jeff. ( slurring ): i sold leander walker half my stock for $50,000. -insurance, he called it. i'm ashamed. aren't you more ashamed of being involved with ryder in wrecking jeff's plane? oh, now, look, mr. mason, i didn't know anything about that. -that wreck cost me plenty, because i-i still had stock in the company then. paul: still had? i sold walker the rest of my stock three days ago for 10 cents a share. he's been trying to get hold of the company for three months. -the only way he could think of. where can we find walker? he was at the sunset-ritz, but not now. he could be anywhere. waiter, wait a minute. -i want another drink. paul. paul, i want an all-out search. also a re-check on all telephone calls made from ryder's place the night of the murder. maybe he was in communication with walker. -mr. mason, just for your information, i've decided not to proceed against lola bronson. i don't even want her as a material witness. as far as i'm concerned, she can clear out right now. there are just too many holes in her story. -as for mr. bronson, you can either plead guilty as charged, or i'll proceed with the prosecution. perry. here's the list of the phone calls made the night of the murder. at least, the toll calls. and, uh, check those made from ryder's house. -one to patton, one to the sunset-ritz. one downtown to jeff. ryder never called me that night, perry. only, uh, conception. the important one is from the sunset-ritz. -walker just checked out and took a cab to the airport. paul, get your car out of the lot. meet me out front. all right. what are you going to do, perry? -first i'm going to tell mr. burger and judge abernathy that we've found the murderer. ( dramatic theme playing ) thank you. ah, i was about to despair of you, ladies. mr. walker. -at your service again, mrs. bronson. and yours too, miss o'higgins. shall we board the plane? i think we better check our tickets first. mr. walker. -mason. afraid you're gonna miss your flight, mr. walker. this is sergeant brice. he has a warrant for your arrest. arrest? -on what grounds? conspiracy to defraud, industrial sabotage, isn't that why you're leaving for south america? i'm leaving for south america because that's where mrs. bronson is going to sell me her stocks. mr. walker, who told you i'd do that? -your cousin. miss o'higgins. all right, mr. walker. let's go. why, conception? -and why didn't you tell me? i'll tell you on the plane. mason: lola. just a moment. -i'm afraid there are a lot of things she hasn't told you. what? she hasn't told you that she followed you to ryder's house that night, that she was watching while you struggled with him. watching when that pistol went off. that she must have seen him fall against a chair and knock himself unconscious. -unconscious? but he was dead. no, he wasn't, because after you ran out, she got hold of the gun and she killed him. isn't that right, conception? but how could i have done it? -i was at the hotel telephoning jeff at that very moment. you called jeff not from the hotel, but from ryder's house after ryder was dead. we have a record of that telephone call. conception. he was an evil man. -i knew he would never rest until he got you. after you ran, he picked himself up and he went to pour himself a drink. i took the pistol. but he laughed when i told him he should never see you again, or i would have him arrested for what he'd done to jeff. he laughed when i told him that you were going back to south america with me. -he laughed, and he took my arm and he twisted it. and i shot him. your honor, in view of the new evidence unearthed by my esteemed colleague, the state will not oppose a defense motion for dismissal. the defense so moves. very well. -case dismissed, with the defendant to be released from custody at once. court is recessed for 15 minutes. well, so ends the mystery of the three shots. one fired by lola, one by jeff and one fired by conception. i still have a mystery. -why walker's continued eagerness to buy bronson's stock? well, once in control, then by threatening to build another test plane, he could force one of the other aircraft companies to buy him out. only now, the banks are lending jeff the money to build the plane himself. well, i have another mystery. she's full of them, sure. -oh, no, now, really. you said that conception called jeff figuring he'd go to ryder's house, think lola killed him and then either cover up for her or take the blame himself? he did both. but with the divorce, how could conception think that jeff still loved lola enough to do that? take a look. -( mysterious theme playing ) ( noirish jazz theme playing ) (theme song playing) (waves crashing) * -well, like i said, i'm walking my dog, when i see the man get out of this parked convertible. all of a sudden, the guy walks right out into the ocean, with all his clothes on. strikes me as kind of funny, but then we get all sorts of oddballs coming to the beach. well, anyway, i take the dog in the house and i'm getting ready for bed, when i look out the window. -the car's still here, but the guy ain't nowhere in sight. i don't see nobody swimming, either. so, i came down to look at the car. this, this note was stuck on the steering wheel. it says he was going to commit suicide. -* did it go okay, jack? did anybody see you? where's the sauce? relax. -relax, austin. it went off like a dream. i even left a note for my widow. here's health to the late jack culross. let's get in the car. -sketches. unfinished work. nothing, i'm afraid, of any particular value. what a shame. your husband had an amazing potential, mrs. culross. -and an equally amazing talent for letting it go to waste. my sister tells me that jack's paintings were beginning to sell, at pretty respectable prices, too. yes, thanks to vincent kenyon and the newspaper articles he did on jack's work. if jack had only applied himself to painting with the same passion he had for high living-- just a couple of months of intensive work. look, sketches that never grew up. -really fine oils started-- never finished. mr. durrant, as i told you on the phone, i'm closing up the cottage here and moving to my place in panama permanently. now, you handled my husband's work. you called to say that you were interested in purchasing whatever might be left in the studio. -do you see anything that you want? jack's three witches canvas. he told me when he started it a year ago, it would be his most important work. look at it. waste, unforgivable waste. -when do you plan to move out of the country, mrs. culross? by the end of the week. i'm sure you must be hard-pressed for cash. none of this stuff has more than curiosity value. if it would help, mrs. culross, i'll give you $5,000 for the contents of the studio, as is. -as i understand it, all of the tangibles are already in your name. if you'll give me a title to the pictures here, there would be no need of administrative proceedings. you wouldn't have to bother with probating the estate. how soon can you clear out the studio? i'll put the seats down in my station wagon and, of course, send you a check after lunch. -i... thank you, mr. durrant. yes. he was sick. jack culross was a sick man. -somewhere i failed him, clint. i wish i knew how or why. beautiful. it's brilliant. oh, shut up, little man. -oh, i was only admiring. your admiration revolts me. art dealers are percentage parasites fattening off other men's talent. how'd it go with my widow? she sold. -and she'll be on her way to panama and out of our way by the end of the week. now that you're... you're dead, your work will triple in value. couple of months, we can exhibit and clean up a fortune. if you could just paint a little faster. -don't push too far, little man. oh, dr. kenyon, you were so right. everything you said in your column was the truth. culross is so, so chic. i've already bought his moodscape and tenement shadows. -can you suggest a third? you see, the wall will hold three if the frames are small. well, i think his perspective in black might be just the thing. over there, before anyone else gets it. oh, yes. -thank you. thank you, dr. kenyon. mr. durrant. well, austin, this must be a proud and profitable moment. that it is, vincent-- very profitable. -better than 50 percent sellout, isn't it, miss burnside? yes. look at them. you'd think we were discounting rembrandts in the bargain basement. what is it, mr. durrant? -excuse me. mrs. culross, mr. miller, i, uh... i thought you were in panama. well, how, how delightful you could make the showing. this particular painting marked "sold" with a, uh, $3,000 price tag on it... -since the last time we saw you, talent must've risen in price. uh, there's some champagne over there, and, uh, and, uh, dr. kenyon. all the more amazing, since the last time we saw that painting, it was unfinished. (sighs) um, please, please, mrs. culross! -if you'll-- oh, fine. mrs. cul... there's no question of it, mr. mason, at least half of that picture was painted afterjack killed himself. it's a blatant forgery. i knew it when i saw the photo of the painting in the panama paper. -i came back to find out and now i'm sure. what explanation did durrant offer for the painting being completed? well, he's called edna a couple of times, but she won't talk to him. she insisted on bringing the matter directly to you. mr. mason, i don't know anything about this art business. -i just took my sister to panama to help her get set and then, all this happens. well, the quicker you clear this up, the happier i'll be. what about the other paintings hanging in the gallery? i just don't know, mr. mason. jack painted in fits and starts. -he never liked to be watched. so, you really don't know which of the paintings were genuine and which were forgeries. no. but there's no question about the three witches. it's a forgery. -i want this fraudulent sale stopped, mr. mason. now. when you called, my associate, mr. gideon, had an idea as regards to three witches. mrs. culross, was there much depth of texture to your husband's paintings? -well, uh, thickness of paint-- is that what you mean by "depth of texture"? yes. yes, there was considerable thickness. all right. thank you, mrs. culross. -we'll, uh, look into the matter. thank you, mr. mason. as soon as we find something, we'll call you. della: all right, now, the atomic age hasn't changed the curriculum of law school that much. -or have you been sneaking in a special course on six ways to forge a rembrandt? neither-- pre-law college physics. i'm talking about a thermocouple, of course. of course. perry, i, uh, suppose you understand what he means? -of course. a thermocouple is a delicate heat-measuring device. (chuckles) that explains everything. a divining rod to locate hot paintings. -no, della, no. you see, the older paint gets, the drier it becomes. the drier it becomes, the more heat it reflects. now, by measuring heat from different parts of the painting's surface, we can determine for sure and legally if somebody else finished the painting of the three witches after culross died. you got it? -got it. how soon can you, uh, locate a thermocouple, david? inside half an hour, mr. mason. good. let's go. -durrant! hey, what are you doing? stop! stop! stop him! -oh, never mind. you'll never find him in those crowds. should i call the police, mr. durrant? yes, please do, right away. excuse me, gentlemen. -i'd better call the insurance people. yes, yes! miss burnside, please call the... call the police right away. oh, philip. -of course it isn't your mother. oh, how silly i've been. she wouldn't run away from you. no one would. oh, about mother, i've had some bad news. -i spoke to her doctor yesterday. he told me her heart isn't so good. but he warned me, any shock... well, it's my duty to guard her against them if i can. i don't know what makes this a holiday. -i never work this hard at the office. it's a change. it's supposed to be diverting. oh, keen. helen, this is a furnished apartment. -save your energies for when you take over the pryor mansion. the thought's never crossed your mind? well, i never thought of "taking over," if that's what you mean. all right. marrying philip, then. -well, of course i think of it. but... but hooey. listen, there's a trite old expression that fits like a you-know-what. "you're not getting any younger. " -well, do you know anybody that is? all right. i'm not getting any younger, either. but at least i'm playing the field, keeping the old eye peeled for somebody really eligible. well, philip's really eligible. -it's just that he... it's just that he's all his mother's got. listen, i'm all for mothers. but there's a special breed of women with only sons that lingers on for years. if i were you, i'd give that a little thought. -i've given it a lot of thought. but i just don't know what to do. lay it on the line. you get married right away, or farewell philip. it's just no good anymore, philip. -just these few evenings together, saturday afternoons. do you realize that this has been going on for four years? i know i can't remember not knowing you. i don't want to. soon it'll be five years. -that's a long time to wait for something. well, there was the war. oh, philip, that was a long time ago. well, all right, there's mother. you've always understood about her. -i can't change that, helen. well, you don't have to. that's what i'm trying to tell you, i guess. you don't have to change, but i do. you mean, you don't want to see me anymore? -well, the way it is now, no. no, i don't. helen, it won't be much longer. i promise you, it won't. mother's beginning to perk up now. -it won't be any longer, philip. i'm not going to be seeing you anymore. but i don't know what i'd do without you. i mean it. i don't know what i'd do without you. -helen! helen! we won't wait any longer. we'll get married tonight. tonight? -yes, right now, tonight. people drive across the state line all the time. there aren't any delays. and we don't want any. oh, philip. -mother's room. she's sure to be sleeping. i don't think we ought to bother her tonight. unless, of course, you insist, darling. after all, you're the boss now. -no. no, tomorrow will be fine. we'll tell her tomorrow. tomorrow is here, mrs. pryor. perhaps philip's already told you, but i know that i can't wait any longer. -mrs. pryor? mrs. pryor? "mrs. mary langley pryor died "at her elmville lane residence early today. "native of boston, widowed three years ago. -"only survivor, a son, philip, of the home. " philip. philip, i don't understand. she's been dead for seven years. you never remember to keep warm, mother. -you'll get another chill if i don't watch over you every minute. oh. oh, no. no. no, no. -ah, there you are again. these may look like rocks to you, but they're really clusters of atoms. this is a very important job. and now, here's a scene from next week's show. after which, you will find me still firmly anchored here. -if you liked that sample, you will love next week's show, for it will contain three such scenes. after seeing that one, however, i've put in an order for a set of these for each of our viewers. good night. subtitles by: drvvr -you nearly ran him over. a practice run? and you, a practice interview? you wouldn't be an interesting item. because i'm a cross-country runner? -because you are françois gérane. you want an autograph? how much do you charge? where do you come from? i've never seen you. -i've often seen you. in photos. age 25, son of the famous lawyer, lone wolf, deep in trouble. mr. maurice is never apt to forget a £200 gambling debt. your affair... with his wife makes it still worse. -it's gilbert who sent you? he'll find no money for you. i know who you are, now: stephanie, gilbert's sister; stephanie-the-bore. -you had to get into this... i've waited too long. he'd have a position... he'd have a wife... maybe even children... -please stop seeing him. i'll think it over. for the time being i'm thinking only of money. going back to paris? hold tight! -"the swallow" a queer bird. i've tried to call you three times this week. my line is cut off. shall i introduce you? -i'd rather wait here. how's the racing? £200 are missing me off my feet. it's urgent. can you spare it? -could you, mother? you're botching my grammophone! one hundred! i'll return it! you're alone in life? -i'm forgetting my father... i haven't found anyone. i'm a poor girl, you know... i've brought simone. i found only £20. -your sister is here. gilbert has frightened me. will you never stop looking for money? my husband has grown suspicious; i can't help you any longer. -your new girl-friends should be able to do something about it... you'll manage somehow. i adore you! in my own home! my whole life long... -the brief of a case... boutoir versus bergeroux... official documents i had no right to bring home... you knew it! why did you do it? -you don't know yourself! i long hoped you'd take after me. but you are the very image of your mother: violent, cruel... insane! i've also pinched money; but that needs no explaining. don't move! -you wouldn't kill your own son; you'd be heading for trouble. a thief, an incendiary is not my son. the police? you can't sue your own son. -you're a lawyer, you know it. every community has a way of dealing with beasts. am i in a hospital? yes, my boy. what hospital? -come back to bed. i am not in prison? why should you be? mr. gérane, i believe... i was expecting you. -the head doctor... told me about you. count de chambrelle, the writer. however unsuitable these premises may be, i am happy... to meet here at long last, a man of rank and quality. adrian! we have an extra guest. -let me tell you about our friends. let me begin from the left. don't stare, of course... first, colonel donnadieu. shell-shocked in 1918. -first relapse in 1930. second relapse in 1945. 1930? in morocco. next to him, a sham blind man; -a rare specimen "blind" only to see better the sad one, with the bundle, hurtevent. wanted to be a sailor, but he was withdrawn from service. he never got over it. -have some jam. as the colonel says, you live your death once only. shut up, count! death... belongs to everybody! and we won the war! -we, first cavalry of the foreign legion! we have to eat without the usual knives. i don't have to learn spanish! i don't have to! they are harmless, most of them. -that'll be all, old chap! there we are... good day, my dear doctor. colonel donnadieu! first cavalry of the foreign legion! -many newcomers? the light lorry... where did you bed them? in the attic. gérane... the boy who loves to burn things... -how is he behaving? he had a restless night. he thinks he's in jail. somewhat confused. bring him in. -he must have fought desperately. he arrived under sedation; today he's calmed down. doesn't look mad to me... i don't want to hear that word! -"mad" is derogatory and means nothing. a psychiatrist knows only of sick men. all sorts of sick men. probationers like you turn out as high society psychiatrists. an asylum has two jobs to perform: -cure the mentally ill... and protect the community. protection comes first, that's everybody's major concern. and it's easy to manage: you lock them in. that's what i've learned from 30 years of psychiatric practice. -who signed the confinement papers? dr. carré... the family doctor... well, this way everything is in order. you are mr. gérane... how old are you? -i am 25. what infantile diseases? measels? scarlet fever, mumps? and since? -any venereal diseases? your profession? no profession at 25... what do you do in life? i was looking for a job. -what kind of job? some of my friends... what friends? do you meet them often? they are my age. -we meet quite often. surprise-parties... surboums, as we call them... why are your hands shaking? heavy drinker, probably. -you didn't tell me what job you'd like. what schooling have you had? secondary. uncompleted. why? -i wanted to be a painter. i went to the ecole des beaux arts. you graduated? i left. i wasn't interested in outmoded methods -i see. instability. what did you do next? i left home. i wanted to manage on my own. -fugue-prone... how did you manage? i didn't. as for women... a fiancee? -no? any affairs? no complaints coming; there are plenty of girls. but none of them stayed with you. didn't any of them suit you? -what do you know about it? what are you driving at? my father had me confined because he hates me. you didn't mention your mother... she is dead. -drowned. oh... accidental death... i don't belong here, in a madhouse! a psychiatric hospital. character and behaviour troubles. -my dear boy, you need rest and quiet. you've led a hectic life. one is young... so very young... it's a happy life here. we're in the country, lots of air... -paris and everything are so far away... stop this! it's an order! where did he get that saw? he stole it from the farm. -hello, newcomer. you, you're a faker. you needed shelter. it's staying here, or... is it the countryside out there? -see for yourself. the walls are still there? an asylum in open country... death in the midst of life. you sound as if one never got out. -you do get out... then you come back. you've been here long? four years. how about breaking loose? -my only dream. i'll break loose! to begin with, don't say it. all these poor people, stricken in their love... and you, doctor, how do you bear all this misery? -just as you, father, when you tackle souls deep in mortal sin. but your hell comes afterwards. mr. gérane? he's inside. who told you? -word gets around. word got around that i am mad? you came to make sure? we'd like to help you. maybe a lawyer... -a lawyer? what could he do? if the charge was theft, murder or forgery, a lawyer could help. but the charge is "insanity". a madman isn't punished. -nor forgiven. he is just put away. he is locked up. the worst must be the promiscuity. no, it's the contamination. -nobody has come to see me... except you. if you hadn't been alone and miserable, i wouldn't have come. don't come again. it's too depressing. -it wouldn't take much to... to what? to make a nice boy out of me? to make you happier. visiting time is over... -walk slowly. you came by car? yes, with a friend. if i pass the gates, it'll have to be quick. can i trust you? -you were going for a stroll? a little freedom and you see what happens! how can we trust you? nobody escapes from my ward. we are unfortunately too efficient... -and every unsuccessful attempt makes things worse for you. don't be a fool! there is no escape. i know it. but you can't blame me for trying. -i played the fool, i deserve to be punished. but not a life sentence! my dear boy, i'm not a policeman; i'm a doctor. can't you understand? -what is this injection for? pento-barbiturate. we seem to be about to agree... you played the fool? let's be more specific: -we burned documents that didn't belong to us. there was no point in destroying that brief... why did we do it? this "why"... makes the diffrence between the doctor and the judge. if you can answer "why", you are free. -if you can't, you'll have to let me draw the obvious conclusions. and now, relax. tell me everything... i am listening... just relax. i wanted to hurt him, to get at all that he holds dear. -you mean your father? you don't love him? i loved my mother. where is the relation? when she died... she could no longer live with him. -she drowned... you told me. that's what he says. to some people he says that she just fell into the pond. to others... to me, because i was there, he talks of suicide. you were there? -tell me about it. mother and i were coming home, after a walk. he came towards us... he was always making insults, with her, because... why? -i don't know. she used to scream when he squeezed her arm. she cried when he talked to her. and then? that day, they brought me inside the house. -the maid was to keep me. but i ran to my room and i looked through the window. they were returning towards the pond. he looked angry and threatening; she walked by, head down. -that's all. later on, my father told me that she had killed herself. he also told me that she was alone. but that isn't true. you don't remember anything... more definitive or conclusive? -i was 8 years old, doctor. shall we stay quiet now? it's a promise, isn't it? only the sick dream of escaping. do i ever try to escape? -a clear example of hatred for the father. keep him in ward. you'd like to be in an other ward? i want to get away. so do i; but cured. -what do you mean by "cured"? wake up in my own room; dress the way i wish; speak to people... and walk the streets without faring a fit. you believe in doctors? in dr. emery's ward the patients live like normal human beings. -no uniforms, no confinement cells, no strait-jackets... no spying an no locked doors. i believe you... it's true. and there are asylums near the sea, where you see boats... there i'd be cured. -but only if dr. emery would take care of me. why doesn't he? no free room in his ward... i'd like to see the match. go ahead. -i'll see to this. interested in sports? i used to race on motorcycles. now i run along the walls of my ward. you know dr. emery? -i've been told he takes an interest in his patients. not like dr. varmont. he isn't as bad as that. he has his problems. do your friends visit you here? -a girl. she comes every week. you're engaged? i met her too late: just the day before i was brought here. good afternoon, dr. emery. -i saw the aviary. what colour did you choose? blue. still no room for me? no room at all... -what's going on? it's a children's game. here it's a method to teach them to live as a community. every man moves because of the others look now: they'll unlink hands. -as soon as they stop forming a chain they are alone. they are lost. here you have the bar. music, lively colours... it's always the same object: -the sick mind must acquire an interest in life. you are the head doctor; what do you think of these new methods. obviously the "free asylum", or the so-called free asylum... is an interesting idea. most interesting, for jounalists. unfortunately, insanity is a problem publicity can't solve. -you'd better interview dr. emery. he's quite talkative on the subject. go deep into it, if you can. allowing for financial difficulties... the results can now be considered conclusive. we have to face ill-will... and stubborn prejudice. -but we are on the right track. what's this? clay modelings by patients at various stages of their cure. they begin with a globular lump; always a globe, the earth. -next they model animals, then a composite... of beast and man: a centaur, a sphinx, a sort of faun... when they model men, are they cured? no. the last stage appears to be symbols of life: a baby in a cradle... -fruits in a basket... flowers in a vase... trees, upright in a garden... tell me about yourself. i've told you everything. -i only know you live alone. i've lived alone a long time. you like your job? in the beginning it was more difficult; and more interesting. and now it bores you? -i am never bored. i am. when you're not here. not only because of the asylum; everything bored me before. -tell me! will you wait for me? you can leave this place when you want to do so. i called your father. he's the only one who can help you. -you don't know him. if i'd let him, he would love to be here and watch me suffer, as he used to do with my mother. i don't want to see him. a penny for your thoughts. i'm looking at the walls, so i can remember better. -why? won't you ever come back? you don't want to understand. you go on talking about your life, but you do nothing to change it. i don't believe in anything! -he who believes in nothing, leaves everything in its place. if you hadn't given up everything, you wouldn't have destroyed your father's files. agreeing to see him now would be like cheating for you. nobody ever talked to me like that. then you've never been loved. -that girl's meddling was quite unnecessary. i've been waiting for you to call me. i had to think things over. will you forgive me the harm i did to you that night? my poor boy, it wasn't the worst. -i have endured so much already... can you have me set free? the doctor has hopes, great hopes. you will certainly be cured. everybody has his wild moments. -you steal from your father. you ransack his home; you disgrace him; you hit him. you hit him! "a wild moment"! i never had such wild moments. -i ask your forgiveness. i'll cause no more trouble; please have me set free. i love this girl. and she loves me. -she spoke to you. girls again! my poor boy, all your affairs never did you any good. i remember the evenings when i was teaching you the secrets of law... you never really listened. -all of a sudden you used to stand up: some girl was waiting for you... i remember too. you were plaintiff claiming damages. you had managed to have a man sentenced to death. -and the same night, with the same passion,... you explained how that man could have been saved. living in a community is like playing a game. to win, you must know the rules. i wanted to teach you the secrets; you refused to listen. -you never understood me. that's true. i was afraid of what i'd understand. still unamenable! even here! -even when i come to see you with the best of intentions! you'd dishearten a saint! can we still hope to see him free soon? it's up to him. and we know it, don't we? -hey! that's the door towards free life! i thought... i hoped that he was getting better. may i ask a question? -what happened the day your wife died? has he talked about it? a little. i had to inquire into his childhood. what did he tell you? -nothing much. he was only a child, i believe. my wife drowned. that i know. an unfortunate heredity, isn't it? of course. -they held an inquest? questioning... a post-mortem... after any suicide, slander is unavoidable. the most respectable people have to bear it. you know how it is. -of course. no action was brought up. that's fine. i'm glad for you, sir. i'm sorry i revived such painful memories. -i'm curious, my nature. so am i. professionally. we wait till tomorrow? you feel sure? there's also the key to the cottages. -his keys open all the cottages. but not the main gate. no. the cottages only. let's go! -the keys! i have them. to the left! we're free! take care of him. -the madman! he's escaping! yes, varmont, it's easier to punish than to cure. but punishing cures nothing. meaning what? -this attempt to escape, for instance. what attempt? you mean gérane? everything is in order now. after he was shot down. -just a scratch. i can't be blamed if there's a panic... every time a madman escapes. i understand that panic, even though i deplore it. for 30 years i've passed every day of my life among lunatics. believe me: few can be cured, and all of them are dangerous. -how about an experiment, varmont? let me take care of that boy; it'll be good riddance for you. let you have gérane? he is the one you'll never have! -why? as you know, some mental diseases... are easy to diagnose. they are often more spectacular than serious. and there are the other cases, that we know nothing definite about. gérane for instance? -i believe so. in other words, you are afraid i'll cure him with too much ease? i'm afraid you don't believe he's ill. i don't choose my patients any more than you choose yours. your pretensions to apostleship somewhat frighten me. -i'm no apostle; i haven't got the time. my job is to protect society, with the means at my disposal. that's the job of the police. aren't you worried by the 120.000 mental cases in france? -with decent means, insanity is easier to cure than tuberculosis. let's stop pretending. do you really believe our patients can be cured by any treatment? at least i don't let sane men be contaminated. let's at least deliver them from fear! -every day, prematurely freed madmen kill, rape or burn houses. every day men die in asylums. yes: when i doubt, i'd rather let them out not quite cured... than risk killing them by keeping them locked up. you purvey the world with criminals! worse than that: you are yourself a criminal by proxy! -that's the difference between us: you don't need any proxy. let's wait till one of them wreks your home and kills your children! in the meantime, don't expect me to hand any of my patients over to you. they are mine and i'll take care of them. -come on, children! i'll never manage to be in dr. emery's ward. varmont clings to his patients. if he didn't, they'd all leave. he who really wants to leave can never be held back. -boats... there are boats putting out to sea... boats run by men... they move on slowly... there are other boats... -nobody controls them... these move on faster... to the bottom... out of confinement? i'll be out tomorrow. -i'll still break loose. a rope! you leave ropes around! you forget that they are sick! they aren't boy-scouts! -poor chap! he was the nicest of all our patients... never starting fights... always accepting his fate... is it my fault? -say it! it is my fault! i'm a slave-driver! am i too hard with them? last year, with 800 patients, only 3 suicides. -nothing to blush about! i didn't invent the methods i use. i invented mine. what a plague... and to top it all... it's said i give too much freedom! -it's all clear to you? the wall is lower there. breast the bar and you're in the open. and the clothing? you'll find it, hidden near the corner. -keep in the woods until dark. don't forget they'll all be out to find you. i'll take care of that. you don't want to come? in here i'm safe. -if i get out they'll murder me. what's the address? he's a friend; he'll give you a job. mr. tony, please. call mr. tony. -he's all right? he's happy in his ward. if he ever comes out... it'll be an easy job; you'll sell chips, like that boy there. you don't look enthusiastic. -i had expected better. escaped from an asylum, you can't be too greedy; think of the police. all set for tomorrow? you'll need a bed. i have a girl friend. -look out: they'll be waiting for you there. you can sleep here. they let you out... may i come in? you've had your dinner? -no. since when are you free? since today. and you came here straight away... what a small place you've got! -large enough to live alone in. what are your plans? i have a job in a sort of gambling hall. that's not a job for you. just for a few weeks; -i need time. i might travel a little... leave france... you sound as if you were running away... did you run away? -we are looking for mr. gérane. he isn't here. you'll surely be hearing from him. we'll be coming back. you ran away? -i will not go back! i will not spend my life, my only life, behind those walls! relax. they left. they'll come back. -but i'll be far away by then. when you're alone, you have to dream up a life, if you want to survive. but to dream is to cheat again. i'm not a dream! whatever you wish, we'll do together. -there's no future for a runaway. he runs from light. he runs from people. he never feels at home. some day he inevitably gets caught. -alone, you'd be caught. escaping seems no big deal when one has nothing at all. i would soon be deprived of that feeling if i took you with me. i can accept the hardships, the fear. i don't want to share them with you. -i don't want you to live like that. the pace was set the first day we met. i'll always be with you. goodbye, my love... i just don't understand it, little joe. -dang ole ram tracks are everywhere. looks to me like he's just walking around and around in a circle. yeah, we just don't have any luck, that's all. dang the wet boots.

(both laughing) hoss: come on. -we gotta get back and get out of here. little joe: can't we stay up just one more day? well, you can if you want to, little joe, but i'll come up next spring, and dig your froze carcass out of that snow. all right, we'll start packing out tomorrow. -yeah, boy. you get real busy now and round up some grub for your big brother 'fore i faint plum away. okay, beans and bacon coming up.

(horse neighs) (birdlike whistling) (whistling continues) -did ya find 'em? no, not a sign. i went clear to the top of that peak. i could see for miles. there's nothing. -i just don't understand it, little joe. young girl in her condition would try to stick close to her tribe-- unless of course they-- she gets lost and they just run off and leave her or something. no, she's not lost, hoss. (woman groaning) how could you tell? by the deer trail she took. -every time they branched off, she took the one either south or east. she knew where she was going. southeast... that'd take her right into paiute country, wouldn't it? hey, maybe her tribe was looking for a few scalps. no. -wasn't no raiding party. shoshone's too smart for that. they wouldn't want to get caught this side of the mountains with big snow just on its way. where was she heading, then? what else is southeast of here? -only thing i can think of is virginia city. (woman panting) virginia city. (groans) (crying) well, her fever's down some, anyhow. -hey, she looks better to me. yeah. there's one thing for certain, though-- the time's nearing, she's gonna be needing a woman to help with the birthing. you sure you didn't see nothin' of them, little joe? no smoke? -no tracks? no nothing? no, nothing. they're gonna be able to find us, though, if we're west of kansas city. all they gotta do is follow their smellers. -i reckon you're referrin' to my cooking. i'm referring to that stink you're making. what is it? them's wild roots and mesquite beans. mesquite beans? -yep. that's cattle fodder! yep. it's gonna be your dinner, little joe. and matter of fact, you're liable to be living on this till we get out of here. -oh, no! mm-mm. i'm gonna go shoot me some game. oh, no, you ain't. we gotta save what ammunition we got left for an emergency. -oh, look, hoss, we can't-- we can't eat cattle fodder! you eat beefsteak, don't ya? yeah, well, sure, what's that got to do with it? well, it'll just make you appreciate what an old steer goes through for you. here, eat hearty, little brother. -do i have to? no. no, you don't have to. you could starve to death. you know, it's kinda sweet, you know? -sure.

(pounding) ma'am, i sure hope you know you got yourself... mixed up with a couple of prune pickers. what we don't know about delivering babies would scare you to death. fetch that shovel over there. -yeah, now, dig a pit right there deep enough to hold a batch of hot coals. can't we heat the water outside? well, we're going to. but this is to steam some sage leaves. sage leaves? -what good's that gonna do her? well, how should i know? what do you mean how should you know? what are we gonna do it for then? well, i heard an indian agent telling pa one time this is what all shoshone women always did. -yeah, what else did they tell you? well, then we gotta get some rabbit pelts to swaddle the baby in soon as he gets here. mm-hmm. and what then? then we gotta find a-- find an old cottonwood tree someplace. -oh, we gotta find an old cottonwood tree? yeah, one with a-- with a dry rot. gotta find an old cottonwood tree that's got the dry rot. yeah. so's we can scoop out that dry rot and pulverize it up real fine like. -and we scoop out some of that dry rot and pulverize it up real fine. we don't know why we're doing that either, do we? yeah. for baby powder! youngun's gotta have baby powder, ain't he? -no, no, no. you can't even have a baby without baby powder. where you going? i know where there's an old cottonwood tree down by the lake. i'm gonna get us some baby powder makings. -(ducks quacking) (quacking continues) wait a minute. wait a minute. oh, i'm gonna get me one of them. -save your ammunition. you willing to get wet for your supper? i'll just as soon die of pneumonia as starvation. all right. you go rustle us up some branches. -make it snappy, be quiet about it. there ain't nothin' as skittery as a wild duck. okay. (quacking) (gasping sputter) -* (muffled groan) (ducks quacking) (quacking continues) * -well, she sure didn't get much down. i told you not to put those pine nuts in her soup. pine nuts are nourishing. well, so is duck. she ain't hardly got enough strength to swallow soup. -i don't know what she'd do with that roast duck. well, i'm gonna give her lessons right now. oh. hey, hoss? yeah? -how far you think she come before she ran into us? shoshone nation's 200 miles north of here. maybe she was traveling with her husband. he had an accident or something. it ain't that simple. -for some reason or other that girl had to get into virginia city. i don't think we're gonna find out till she gets good and ready to tell us. here. some duck. tomorrow we'll fetch some rabbit snares. -* hey, hoss? yep? that lake was frozen over this morning. saw a herd of deer going down through the pass. -it's kinda surprising that she don't take the hint, ain't it? eh, why should she? she's got it made. got a nice room, plenty of food. two dumb clucks to wait on her hand and foot. -oh, she's in no hurry. injuns! (laughing) (laughing continues) little joe, you could've dang near killed me with that stinkin' thing. -(both laugh) you should've seen the look on your face! you looked like a-- you looked like a hog that's stuck with a porcupine quill. (all laughing) hey. -hey, this sphinx has a sense of humor. (gasps) (crying) little joe, don't just stand there gawking! get that sage! -get the sage! where's the sage? what sage? the sage i told ya to get for the steaming! you told me you were gonna get the sage. -me? have i gotta get everything? well, i'm tired of you yelling at me. you want sage, just tell me-- i'll get it! -oh, no you don't. you-you get that boiling water and follow me in there with it, you hear? get it! oh, i wish you'd make your-- wish you'd make up your mind! -sage and then boiling water. i don't know nothin' about having babies. here's the water, hoss. put it right there. you scared? -yeah. but i don't reckon-- reckon half as much as she is. put down those windbreakers. (baby crying) (baby cooing) -(sighs) ain't you never seen a baby before? here. here, take-take him over there by the fire. now, hold him easy and keep your hand on his back so his little head don't fall down. -yeah. there. (chuckles) be careful. don't stumble over them big feet of yours. -(baby crying) my-my-my baby girl? is she all right? you speak english better'n i do! please, tell me. -how come you held out on us? is she-she perfect? your baby's perfect. it is pretty as a brand-new penny. (baby crying) -only she ain't a she. he's a he. what's the matter? i thought, i thought all shoshone women made big medicine to their god so they'd have nothing but boy babies. (baby crying) -all right. you get some rest. you're gonna have a lot of explaining to do. (baby crying) hey, hoss? -yeah? you take a good look at this baby? what'd you do to him? he was all right when i gave him to you. i didn't do nothing to him. -look at him, he's got blue eyes. (baby crying) ain't no indian baby ever had blue eyes. this boy's father's a white man. well, it looks like we eat fish again tonight. -rabbit snares are all empty. well, the fish trap's empty, too. what are we gonna do now? i don't know. did you notice the sky today? -as clear as a crystal glass. complaining? i could smell the snow piling up there for almost a week. we got a reprieve. listen. -i don't hear anything. no birds, no wind, no nothing. hey, come to think of it, i haven't heard anything all day. didn't see that old big horn, either. -not a living thing. pa says that wild animals always know when a big storm's due. look, we gotta get down off this mountain. and quick. yeah, maybe tomorrow. -have to see about the girl first. well, by all means, let's give the lady every consideration! doesn't make any difference she won't tell us her name. now, let's be gentlemen and cartwrights to the bitter end. oh, little joe, this has been worrying you like a hound dog with a burr in his rump. -forget it! i reckon she's got her reasons for keeping quiet. yeah, well, i'm gonna find out her reasons, and everything else about her before she gets us in any deeper. well, how you figuring on doing that? well, you just watch me. -(humming) (baby crying) (stops humming) (baby crying) oh, don't stop on account of us. personally, i'd like to hear something besides my brother's yacking. -leave her alone, little joe. you know, hoss says you talk better than he does. that ain't much to crow about, but i... i'd certainly like to hear a sample. your name maybe? -you know, we've been pretty decent to you. i think we're entitled to know a little bit more about you. for instance, why were you going to virginia city? aw, little joe, quit jawing at her. if she don't want to talk to us, -i-i reckon that's her business. yeah, well, it seems to me she's made us part of her business. if i'm gonna get my scalp lifted for a runaway shoshone, i think i'd die a lot easier if i knew some of the details. hoss: -what makes you think she's a runaway? now, look at her face. you're gonna tell me she's not a runaway? where did you get this? not far from camp. -hoss: and you didn't tell me about it? little joe: just wanted to see the look on her face first. could have been dropped last month, or-or even last year. -yeah, or last night. did you see any other signs? no. no, it could have been... could have been lost by a scout on his way back to get the rest of the party. -and look, don't try to... try to make me feel like a louse, either. i had to find something out, and i found it out, that's all. we didn't do no such a thing. that's a war medicine bag. it's forbidden for a shoshone woman to even lay eyes on it. -no wonder the poor little old thing's half scared to death. where you going? i'm going up on that mountainside and take a look around. (baby crying) i'm sorry. -i guess it was sort of a mean trick. i didn't know about the taboo. guess you have your reasons for not wanting to answer our questions. just, it gets so doggone aggravating! (wind whistling) -(wind whistling) (bird-like calling) relax. it's hoss. (bird-like whistling) -get the pack horse. we're leaving. shoshones? no, it's a blizzard. it's forming over there behind that ridge to the north. -well, i tried to tell you. make it snappy. we got to get out of here and through that pass before the storm hits. you know, for the last couple of miles, i could swear we were being watched. -ah, i think it's that gal, little joe. well, she's got me spooked, too. yeah, i think she senses something. wonder if that medicine bag could have been a fresh sign, after all. maybe. -but right now, it's what's up there that's got me worried. yeah. how far do you think it is to the pass? i don't know. about... -about two or three miles, i reckon. well, we'll never make it before dark. well, we'll have to make it after dark, then. why don't you go on ahead? i want to backtrack and have a look around. -(horse neighing) (thud) (baby crying) my baby! my baby! here. just take it easy. -i'll get the baby. whoa, there. whoa, whoa. (neighing) (baby crying) -your baby's all right. he's okay. (woman crying) i think we better... we better rest here for a while. -well, there's no sign of them. adam, they're a week overdue. i never knew 'em to get home yet on time. surely hoss'd have enough sense to know this is a storm sky. something's happened to them. -let's get going. hyah! (bird-like call) (bird-like whistling) (horse neighing) -i thought you said you were going on. shh! don't wake her up. she's too tired to go on. yeah, that makes two of us. -you see anything? no. i think there's something else out there besides my imagination. i can't shake the feeling that they're out there watching us, just waiting. yeah, but... waiting for what? -we're just two guns against a whole shoshone war party? why, we wouldn't stand a chance. if they're really out there, why don't they show themselves? i think she could tell us. all right, if it'll make you any happier, -i'll stand watch tonight. now go on and eat your supper. eh... just what i wanted-- mesquite beans. and wild roots. -(scoffs) (wind whistling) hoss, would you do me a favor? what? please don't ask me to go hunting with you again. -(laughs) (chuckles) (animal howling in distance) (yawns) little joe? -little joe? hmm? yeah. what do you want? did you put that there? -no. then we're in real big trouble. well, i told you they were following us. what do you think they're waiting for? i don't know, but i ain't planning on sitting here and waiting to find out. -wake that girl up and let's get out of here. (whispers): yeah. hey. hoss! -well, some guard you turned out to be. wait a minute. there ain't no indian war party that would stuff these blankets just to fool us. for some reason or other, that gal was afraid i'd wake up and catch her gone. yeah, that still doesn't explain this knife or those tracks. -must have been a half a dozen shoshones in here last night. yeah. she must have known they were tracking us, too. for some reason or another, little joe, that gal didn't want them indians to catch her. that knife was a warning not to interfere. -well, we're going to interfere. let's go. (baby crying) (woman whimpering) (crying) -(men speaking native language) (gasps) (gunshot) (horses neighing) (speaking native language) -(baby crying) (woman gasps) (sighs) (shot firing) (gunfire continues) -whoa. (panting) pa, adam. i, uh... i guess you've been worrying about us, huh, pa? -pa, we can... we can explain everything. we was gonna start down on time, but... (baby crying) i guess we better show him, hoss, eh? ain't gonna believe us otherwise. come on. -(baby continues crying) i'd hoped you boys had more sense than that. well, pa, after all we'd been through with her, we... we couldn't just walk off and leave her up there. we just naturally brung her and that young'un home with us. is that all? -hey, well, pa, you act like we did something wrong. coming between a shoshone woman and her people is not something wrong; it's just plain stupidity. yeah, i thought you boys went up there to hunt big horn sheep. oh, adam, this is a serious matter. -well, this is a fine homecoming. that's all i got to say. (door opening, closing) next time you bring baby home, you bring laundry boy. hop sing got no time for washing diaper! -come on. (baby whimpering) (crying) how is she, doctor? very weak. -the surprising thing is how the baby came through it without a sniffle. well, now, that ain't too surprising, doc, seeing as who brought him into the world. yeah, he had some help, too. yeah, about as much help as a sore thumb. my boys don't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation. -they don't know who the girl is or why the tribe went to so much trouble trying to recapture her. the baby's father is undoubtedly a white man, ben. that might explain why she's running away from her family. ben: but why they would risk the lives of four braves for one child... -well, there's nothing more i can do here, ben. i'll send out a wet nurse for the baby. thank you, doctor. (baby cooing) ba... baby. -(baby cooing happily) be careful. don't you worry none. (cooing continues) (cooing continues) -hop sing: mr. cartwright! mr. cartwright, come! come quick! what is it, hop sing? -the girl-- come! (panting) she's burning up. wake adam. tell him to ride into town and get that doctor back here. -now, girl... do you hear me? (panting) i've sent for the doctor again. before he gets here, i want you to tell me who your child's father is. -you were coming to find him, weren't you? he should be here with you. you tell me, and i'll send for him. (continues panting) (water splashing) -now, i... (panting stops) do you hear me? (knock at door) you got no sense, you people? what for you wake up house so late? -tell mr. cartwright that sumner kyle is here. yes, sir, mr. kyle. you got maybe any particular mr. cartwright in mind? ben cartwright, of course. (door closing) -oh, kyle. hello, cartwright. i hope you'll forgive me for coming unannounced. you know jason, of course. of course. -uh, my son, adam, told me you had returned to virginia city. is there something i can do for you? may we speak in private, please? hop sing, it's getting pretty late. why don't you, uh, go to bed? -well, uh, make yourself comfortable. thank you. cartwright... i have a favor to ask. and this time, i won't insult you by offering a bribe. -well, you, uh... at least you learned that much from our last meeting. yes, we have had our differences, but they were business conflicts, never personal. not as far as i'm concerned. i've always had great admiration for you. kyle, uh, you didn't come here at this time of night to eulogize me, so why don't we, uh, get to the point? -i understand you have an indian girl here... and a child. that's right. well, cartwright... my son, jason, is the father of that child. cartwright, you have sons. you must know how i felt when i learned that jason was involved with this shoshone girl. -we were married. yes, yes, an indian ceremony. hardly a binding agreement. i don't quite agree, kyle, but jason... you must have been in love with the girl, or else you wouldn't have married her. i was... and still am. -she knew it. that's why she tried to come to me. then why did you desert her? tell him, father. i believe i'm the proper judge of what is best for my son. -he's right. he's right, as usual. it was impossible from the very start. what could i offer her that didn't belong to him? including myself. -cartwright... i want you to send the girl and the child back to her people. i am ready to pay well for her silence. kyle, you... you needn't worry too much about the girl. i doubt very much whether she would embarrass you. -she's never mentioned the name of the child's father. you mean you didn't know? no. i didn't know. obviously, she was too much in love with your son to want to cause him any trouble... even though he did desert her. -where is she? upstairs. wait a minute, jason. jason, she's dead. jason! -kyle, you've had it all your own way. leave them alone now. "the lord is my shepherd. "i shall not want. "he maketh me to lie down in green pastures. -"he leadeth me beside the still waters. "he restoreth my soul. "he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." (hoofbeats) "yea, though i walk through the valley -"of the shadow of death, "i will fear no evil, "for thou art with me.

(baby crying) -cartwright... i want my son. that red whip is an old man. his only child lies there... but his bloodline continues in your son. nothing will stop him from taking that boy. -mr. cartwright... may i have the boy? (baby crying) (crying continues) tell my father... -i've gone home. * hey. be careful, johnny. watch your back in town. -i like her, she likes me. got something against that? you're not ready to be a parent. if you don't settle down, we'll have to leave memphis. wherever we go there'll be white women and i'll be black. -if i was like you, i could go wherever i want. just don't go there. johnny. johnny. joe, the lord said, -"father, forgive them for they know not what they do." let god forgive them if he can, i am just a man. johnny's already forgiven them. i brought him up like you in the christian faith. christ wasn't black! -he was a jew. don't forget that they were an enslaved people, joe. we're not exactly cousins. i'm leaving memphis and i'll settle somewfere else. lord, have mercy on your children. -lord, have mercy on your children. lord, relieve his heart of hatred. lord, have mercy on your children. lord, we ask for your forgiveness. lord, have mercy on your children. -go away, joe. go away, joe. i'll shoot. you know i will, joe. i'll shoot. -you were forewarned and you didn't do anything? don't do this, joe! if you want to find justice, hunt down the guilty ones. can't you be my friend? i don't know how to be a friend to blacks. -i want to make a living. i have to stay on my feet. it's not my fault he went and dishonored a white girl. no! i didn't mean to say that. -i know that's not true. get a hold of yourself! oh. it's all my fault. i was passed out here. -i need your help, lex. you want me to help you? that's why you dragged me to mississippi! it's just as well. i can see i'm done for. -i need your help. i want to cross the color line. cross the color line? look at your fingernails! they'll betray you everywhere. -up north, they've never given me away. not even among friends. i think i'll pay a visit to horace chandley in trenton. write. i'm sending you this letter with a friend from memphis who needs work. -he has completed his studies. his name is joey grant. i must have already mentioned you. what does he know? you're the type to avoid. -i'll take it back. ...of whom i've already spoken. you can be confident in him? how about myself? write what you can. -here. address it. address it. this is for me. don't go yet, joe. -i want to explain. don't go to trenton. revenge helps no one. it doesn't forgive anything. me neither. -i won't forgive anything. i'll spit on your graves listen good, chandley. stan's gone away but for you he might as well still be here. i give the orders and you follow them. -come on. we're not finished, chandley. sorry, old man. the shop's closed. he's unable to help you. -what do you want? a book. didn't you hear? the shop's closed! it seems to be open. -you understand, chandley? you bring the dough over to the drugstore. and i want it delivered before noon. i don't know if i have free will. that's a philosophical position that requires a lot of courage. -ah! for pike. have you ever fished for pike? in the mississippi. this is the first time that somebody's come from mississippi to trenton to find something to read. -in the old days, the shops around here were as good as those in chicago. these days, trenton's dead. those young men in here earlier seemed alive. parasites always find their way to a corpse. i guess so. -i need a job. my name's joey grant. oh. i know you! lex has spoken to me about you. -grant. a name venerated in the north. he's the one who liberated the blacks. so you're not going out? oh, pretty soon, to the drugstore. -i consider his invitation an imperative one. come on then. it's just across the way. well what have we here? take to heart what i tell you. -these youngsters have the same prejudices as the old ones. i'm dying to get lucky. a nice piece of luck. we better taken advantage of stan being away for a while. well? -what did i tell you? this establishment should be the least popular in town. only there's nowhere else to go. i've had enough of these thugs. i've already lost most of my regulars. -if this keeps up, i might as well close up shop. stan walker become a giant. you wait and see. it'll start up again and then what will happen? this is the only distraction trenton has going in my opinion, joe grant. -the usual? a soda. be a love, chandley, introduce me. it's up to you to introduce yourself, my little charlotte. oh, no. -i'd never dare. no. but just wait. they'll do it. ah. -here they come. you mind? i'm gonna go play something. okay. hello. -hey. aren't we here to dance? stop drooling. treton's rituals are going to strike you as mysterious. you'll get the hang of it. -it's an initiation ritual. the length of my stay depends on you. oh. that's right. i keep forgetting. -i've got your future entirely in my hands. give me what you owe me. a dollar for a tip? you don't say. that one's going to be an artist. -that's one way of putting it. ladykiller david, huh? cut it out, you two. not until we settle this. remind me what i'm paying for? -making a move on my sister. you've gotta pay me for turning a blind eye. then i'd better pay you, too. can't have both of them. tough choice. -i still can't decide. what'll it be? an electric duel. okay. no! -mona! music! who'd have thought you'd walk right into a scene so typically trentonian? don't start that up. it's very dangerous. -mr. walker wouldn't want you to... mr. walker's gone away! let go of me! tell them, janet! spot. -go ahead, sonny. do it. stand by... let's go! one! -two! three! four! five! six! -seven! eight! nine! ten! eleven! -twelve! thirteen! fourteen! fifteen! fifteen seconds. -a tough act to follow, david. no! i'm begging you! don't do it! don't do it! -let me go! let me go. let me go! i can't take it! let me go. -if you refuse, you'll never leave. spot.... stand by... here we go! i think the show's over. -let's split. it's getting messy around here. tomorrow morning, i'm going fishing. interested in coming along? i'd have to pay up otherwise. -let me do that. i'm doing it. move. shit man! we'll get up early. -my income used to be more comfortable, but since this mess with stan walker i haven't been able to turn a profit. did lex tell you about him? he never spoke much of stan walker. you could crash through to the ground. yes. -i should have warned you. i rigged it up with scoth tape. isn't it dangerous? i get a kick out of danger. life goes by so fast, it astonishes me. -good night, mr. grant. haven't you got anything to say? would you like to whip it out of me? don't act stupid. aren't you going to apologize to me? -for still being alive? i beg your pardon. it was my fault... my name is lizbeth shannon. joey grant. -you have a uncanny knack for running into strangers, lizbeth. mr. grant and i were just getting to know each other. he seems to be a shady character. this is no good at all what you are doing out here, miss lizbeth! i promised mrs. shannon that i'd look after you. -i hate that, harrison. i don't like being watched. if granny wants to keep her niggers busy, let them look after the house! i've got to be more careful. i was thinking i should come and look for some books tomorrow. -perhaps i'd better come by myself. you're always welcome, lizbeth. does that sound okay, mr. grant? that's one delightful girl, you know? she's richer than anyone around here. -once stan walker has married her, he'll own all of trenton. then she's bought like anything else he owns. i'm very sorry, miss lizbeth, but i'm obliged to tell mrs. shannon. my poor harrison, just what is there left to tell her? -morning! morning. who was this young man who was out fishing with chandley? you see, harrison. there's hardly any more to tell. -granny, picture him: he's a friend of chandley's, too. handsome as a snapdragon. you've found yet another boy in trenton? you've got some luck. -way back when, my chandley was a handsome boy, too. which thomas didn't like at all. one can't make miss lizbeth do as she ought, ma'am, try as one might. don't worry. -stan walker's gonna take real good care of that himself. granny? don't you need a book? i'm going to the bookstore tomorrow. to get something to read to stan. -there can only be one reason: lizbeth shannon was able to be caught short of breath? be still my heart! me, too, i'll go i need to see this joey grant! sylvia! -cover up! you're always being so stupid. in the south, a young daughter of the gentry should never allow the sun to touch her skin. mmm hmm. -nobody will bite for at least three hours. the aristocracy of trenton is based on raised eyebrows. should a shannon get called up for war, he'd raise an eyebrow and get a reprieve. did you serve in korea? ah, i did a nice tour in the army. -i was already out before the korean war. and today, trenton is marching to death. stan walker won't allow the queen of tennessee shannon walker to get away. if he could become king eyebrow, he'd soon enough sacrifice lizbeth shannon. to be married like that for such reasons, poor lizbeth... -so pure, so sincere... so you keep telling me! you could always become a bookseller to make a living. looks like a storm's coming. see you later. -hey, joe! if you need anything, phone me. i won't be going anywhere. you should get a car to take you up. oh, no. -i should be back in time for mass. ah! don't let yourself be photographed. he wants to take them to try force you to forget her and run you out of town. stan walker expects to rule alone. -as long as the rich girl allows it. leaving chandley? if you go away, trenton will be a town without culture. thank goodness my friend joe grant is here to take charge. pay up, chandley. -so it's true, what i've been hearing? were you told you could leave the bookstore by stan? you've heard wrong. come on. i need to talk to you. -let's go! a spider. i don't trust 'im. you're quite entitled to your opinion. and so is stan walker, for his part. -about what? did you fill him in? he's a quick learner. yeah! joe! -it seems you'll need to fill out a supplementary application. no need, chandley. there's a man here who is the boss of everyone in town. even the shannons. stan walker! -thanks to whom... to us... click! watch the birdie! oh, these trenton nights. -click! flirting with a playgirl. click! looking to become a daddy with a club waitress? click! -stan's main squeeze with a black singer. where's the boss? no. stan doesn't bother with this place. what's your problem? -these photos aren't for sale. private collection? a souvenir album? i'm not buying. her family will know you're no good. -what a racket. you'll be chased out of trenton before 4 o'clock. what for? staining moral decency, for example. you've made yourself quite clear. -really? that doesn't bother him. joe isn't prejudiced. at least he's in your corner. so show your respect to stan, otherwise he'll tell everyone everything you're up to. -got it? seems he nothing but a coward. i'm telling you otherwise. what were you told about him by lex? i haven't seen enough of him to have noted such small details. -spare me your lectures. save them for this big fat chicken. come on gang. we're off to the lake. coming? -aren't you going along? i'll be just swell right here. you'd be better somewhere else. you got somewhere better to suggest? doesn't that turn you on? -i love it. i hope i'm not bothering you? not at all, miss wick. i've come to look for the latest crime novel. i can't find the one i'm looking for. -"the dangling dagger" in the suspense collection. ah! here it is! the crime novel is a tough genre but we catch on with careful obversation. -thanks. you're a very nice boy, mr. grant, except you smoke too much. i don't smoke, ma'am. your clever evasions don't fool me! -your fingernails are yellowed with nicotine! your clever evasions can't cover up what you're hiding, mr. grant! your fingernails are yellowed with nicotine! shouldn't you be closing up shop? it's late. -you're handsome joe. you've got shoulders like a black boxer. joe! you're hurting me. where is virginia? -you're going to get a headache from listening to that music the young like? you've got me all figured out, miss wick. so, miss shannon. you, too? heading for the bookshop? -yeah. i knew it. the whole town of trenton is waiting for that boy to open up this morning. miss? what do you need? -i'd like to buy some books. what kind of books? i'll usually find them. oh. you don't know me, mr. grant. -my name is sylvia shannon. ah... i'm told that you know all the girls in trenton. hmm. i'd better know them. -you're already open? i placed it this week. it's my vice... this addiction to musicals. i used to be a chaplain for my church. -yes. mr. chandley told me about that. well, that's just as well. today's youth enjoy nothing except the niggers' music. me, i love the niggers! -they make the best servants. do you have a leak? it's the shower. joe! where are the towels? -no. i don't see anything i like today, mr. grant. you're really very nice. you'll go over big in trenton. there's one quality that leaves an impressesion like no other: -discretion. exactly so. see you soon, ma'am. hey! what's keeping you? -you'd better go and find out. time's a wasting. take it and get out. that should be enough to wear for someone like you? shush! -no, joe. no. wait! you know what they say, running a successful business always involves a few complications. -you should know that's crude. i wouldn't want to compromise your honor. getting a little jealous? a girl only has to take off her gloves to sweep a man off his feet. my jacket? -oh. here. good morning, miss shannon. have you found what you want to read? oh, yes! -see you later, mr. grant. shouldn't you be going, lizbeth? i certainly didn't want you to walk in on this scene. stay a while in trenton and more friendly overtures should follow. it's your opinion that matters to me. -not trenton's. my grandmother has prepared her book order. well tell me what you're thinking about me! i have no right to judge you, mr. grant! i say you do have the right! -lizbeth. you must listen... don't say anything. never fear, stan's coming here. where from? -where else? the milk station. so what else is up for today? forgot? i'm special advisor to the sister in charge. -try to be serious, for a change. oh, cut the crap. so he'll be happy if we just pretend to listen to him. got anything to drink? maybe in the cabin. -i'll go and look. hey! you forgot about that! that's not for you. you'll pay for that! -go ahead, hit me! come on! i called you here. i'm pitiless, too. been enjoying your freedom, huh? -better enjoy it while it lasts. i sure have, stan. listen up! don't you have any news? i keep getting phonecalls and they're all about joey grant. -what did they say... ? trenton is mine! you've alway known that. what happened? go back to the party and don't let on you've seen me. -let's go! you're deserve a badge for courage. dog! i'll let you know when i need a replacement. generally speaking in these tales, a woman winds up getting enslaved. -he stands uncontested while we wait for somebody to show him what a real man is. for me, it's enough to hold my rifle. in keeping with your theory. ah! they're easy to shoot. -yet i never get to do it. the big game that interests me... the law forbids its slaughter. anyway, it'd be quite a shot. with this rifle! boom! -stan walker! you're clipped in the shoulder. pow! right between the eyes! pow! -the drugstore manager! pow! the sneeky critter! no. not you. -i like you too much. all of their corpses littering the streets? trenton in revolution! what keeps me from wringing their necks? handcuffs. -no. no. that would be stupid. taking them down will require a more subtle noose. i've waited here, longing for such a scene with you. -where are the others? they're far away, getting drunk. come on. i know a place where nobody ever goes. it's my castle, where beauty sleeps. -the pirate's house. right there. just tie that rope around the neck. when it drops, you've got a guy hanging to dry. just like that! -when i think about it, i tremble. it's a huge turn-on! you're beautiful. your skin is so white. if you want, you can strangle me. -joe! that's not for you to wear! go back to trenton and get off with joey grant. go and find him and bring him to me! as soon as he came, he was the big guy in town. -i've got something to show you. get down. get down! who is your boss here? he's the only one you know how to follow? -you dropped the ball so quickly that nobody noticed. and what happened in the mean time? trenton has fallen into revolt! well? what are you waiting for? -bring joe grant to me at once! you want to see me? i already know you. your friends have told me all about you. joey grant. -i've also heard a lot about you. never interrupt me... never mind whether you think you know me. you're from memphis, i'm told? there was a lot of talk in memphis last week a black got lynched for raping a white girl. -haven't all of you heard about that? no? i left memphis months ago. they don't like blacks very much down south, huh? that's why they run... anybody who happens to be a nigger. -it's swarming with them around here. that makes for sweat, idleness, and death. and women? what do they lead to? other than their greediness, what? -money troubles? but southern men have their prejudices. huh? have i lost you? -he sure is strange, that joey. i wonder where he came from... sir! there's been an accident. who'd have thought i'd run into you again. -we'd better not do it so often. stan walker won't want to marry you. don't you worry. stan has too much going on to even notice your existence. you must know: his sobsong about how to buy his boat, he needs a girl who'll love and marry him. -at what price did your family sell you, miss shannon? you're ignoble! or should i be asking, at what heir? your price fell short. she certainly estimated me higher. -it's clear to me where his interest lies. all too clear. i sure hope that your marriage to stan walker will reward what's been invested. this is what goes on every day! how am i to do business? -how am i supposed to cut hair? you knew i'd come. i wasn't expect an apology from you. you're too horrible to make one. every time we see each other somebody gets hurt. -i only regret that i heard those words you spoke about me this afternoon. it's been impossible, joe. you'd better forget about me. i'm hot on the trail of that story of dead black guy, mister. and for the moment, i'm at a complete loss. -he's ignoring us. you think? perhaps i haven't adequately explained what i'm after. i don't like this kind of stuff. it always runs out of control. -come on. you can do better than me, joe. no! never say that. i never would have, probably ever. -i want you to know everything. before you arrived in trenton, everything was simple for me: i wanted to have money... to marry stan... to go on living in this town where i was born. now i'm going to need a lot more courage. goodbye, joe. -just like that? i thought you liked that. i love being kissed. but not by you. by joey grant? -you weren't invited to sit down. thought i'd lay down and wait for my burial. joey grant's nothing like you. you're right about that. the guy we're talking about could spend his whole life trying to dress like me. -maybe this idea was made too rashly but... our parents have decided you'll marry me next month. why are you hiding your eyes from me today? ah! i love making you look at me. you're a wild beast, lizbeth. -it'll be my pleasure to tame you. you can't imagine what i have in store for you. in our bedroom, i hope i'll find you on the bed like a purring little pussy. stan walker! no one told me you were visiting. -pardon me, mrs. shannon. i was just so eager to see lizbeth again. being patient is essential virtue in life. don't you see that, sir? you really ought tp know better. -in the future, mrs. shannon, i will only visit with your permission. well put. broad daylight and it seems you're asleep! i've given you that umbrella so that you can shield me from the sun! i wasn't sleeping ma'am. -lizbeth? give me that umbrella and then go get lost! sometimes he's so fresh! lizbeth... come over here. -that trip to the bookstore has made you so sullen. i'd have thought you'd have perked up seeing stan walker. i don't want to marry stan, nan. i can't do it! at your age, you imagine there's a prince charming out there. -i didn't want to marry your grandfather, either. you're holding out for a great love like a genuine romantic! i remember! oh, yes. chandley! -isn't that funny? that man could just talk! as if mere words could lead to happiness. thus the books that he sells. i'd never be happy with stan. -you? you were happy with grandfather. i certainly do hope that you'll find happiness with stan walker. especially when it comes to his requirements for pleasure. help me get up. -go and fetch harrison. lizbeth! you're prone to such folly due to young love. what else? but try to be good. -trenton! i need to get there right away. we're going to trenton. we'll leave right away. very well, ma'am. -there's no one there, ma'am. we'll wait for him, harrison. where are you going? stop! you're always running off! -hello mr. drugstore. you have candy, don't you? aw... give me a piece! just a piece! one for me! -come on! everyone's is remarking about your presence. messing with stan walker, joe, can only lead to more trouble. excuse me. now what has made you so sad? -that's a strange thing to be. aw... come on! there you go. what do you say? it wasn't anything. -you're beside yourself? for what? the attitudes of people change fast around here don't they mrs. shannon? don't be sarcastic, horace! it's you who i've come to see. -but it's been forty years since we last visited i believe, virginia. i guess that was a long time for me to make you wait? but do i dare to ask my question again? you still hold a warm place in my heart. i can guess what you're after. -that joey grant, he's seduced the whole town. seems you're confused againt. you could have taken me if i hadn't been taken already. i'm very pleased to see you again, virginia. don't make me wait so long for your next visit. -go ahead, harrison. yessum. it wasn't my fault, mr. grant. those brats were in my way. it's been more than an hour that i've been waiting for you to come back. -i've come to bid farewell. why? leaving trenton, miss shannon? me? certainly not. -and you? what is this? lizbeth and stan have decided to get married in a month. you'll have nothing more to do around here. besides, -stan won't put up with your presence any more. trenton's been so sleepy for so long. so... when i telegraphed stan to tell him about you, i never could have imagined that it would unleash a veritable revolution. anyway, we're having a reception this evening to make the formal wedding announcement. -if it would amuse you, you could come. your invitation, sir? but i need your invitation, sir. go away. sir, entrance is restricted. -i'm astonished to see you here, mr. grant. the shannons don't usually invite shopkeepers. james! aren't workers welcome in this house? good evening, joe. -we weren't expecting you so soon. granny can't wait to meet you. she'll want to talk to you right away. you shouldn't have come, joe. you're still free. -you have to decide. choice? i'm stan's. i've fallen in love with you. love cannot be denied. -oh, i knew you'd accept my invitation. i was looking everywhere for you. joe. this reception is terribly boring. let's go amuse ourselves at my place. -right away. i'll show you the way. a whiskey sour. watch where you're going! mother of god! -go! go on! go on! oh. better watch where you're going. -get up! i'm bombed. there's not much further to go. go ahead. go ahead. -he's too drunk! step aside! step aside. clear the way, david! whiskey sour! -pour him another. next? she's up for grabs. you don't need any more tonight. yoohoo! -yoohoo! take a seat. take a shot! there you go. who'll take a shot at her? -there! throw caution to the wind. there! there! go on. -she's waiting! watch out! you're stepping out of turn. i'm afraid joe is my guest. i'll leave joe to you. -i'll just have to wait. i thought you could use one. let's go, david! don't drink so fast! we have all night. -who's next? all right. let's go. ready? careful! -faster! you're not the type lizbeth usually goes for. stan... she got him. and he bought her. believing all the while that he's free. -come back. just about! there we go. almost! but once he's had her long enough... he'll cut her loose and send her marching.. -ho! ho! look out! what do you want, miss shannon? goddamn! -watch your step! watch your step. kiss me, joe. ah! mind the line! -go ahead... go ahead. go ahead. you're half way there. go! you're half way... -man down! i'm drunk. what do you want from me? you must be joking, david. if you abandon janet on the perch, someone's bound to come knocking. -i'll count. one! two! two! three! -three! four! five! six! seven! -eight! out! i'll find another one. come on. another shot! -i'm wasted! not wasted enough it seems! come on. give it a shot! what a prize! -hmm... you're trying to get me drunk. she'll always love you, joe. but what she's reserved for stan... has proven stronger. you're not bothered? no. -with another girl, that'd be fine. but with me, nothing would be held back. and you? what are you up to? me? -i'm seizing the opportunity. hey! david's sobering up! david! i could go for another. -i'm game. may i? may i? i think i'd play well with joe. oh no. -not with mr. grant. this guy's a ladykiller. he killed lizbeth, for example. joe! well? -you resent the fact that liz has taken stan. not at all. you're hungry for more shame. you think this might satisfy your craving. this fish wants to hook me! -no! no. you're jealous of liz. and that is what is driving you. knowing that she'll have him soon, you want your turn. -that's not true! yes, that's what you're looking for! you have to have stan. whatever the price! no. -that's not true. it's you i want. no. you don't want me. you're only after mischief. -that's what you want. no, joe! nobody else! i want you, joe! oh, joe! -no! it's you i want. it's you... no! oh! -no! no! no! no, joe! no. -joe, i need you. shouldn't that be stan? no. you have to listen to me. too late. -your sister's got my number and there's nothing left for anyone else. forgive me. i guess i was wrong. me, too. joe? -no, joe! joe! liz! bow wow wow! joey grant! -i want to talk to you. i don't like seeing you upset. when anybody's troubled, i feel sorry for him. but i also have my worries. know anything about that? -it's nothing but stupid folly. to endure all this at the same time. it's great being trenton's boss, but that only makes me a shopkeeper. you'll be married in two months. i had to get myself hitched to get my inheritance. -to make babies. you're shannon walker's lapdog. where are you taking me? where i get my confidence. here you have it. -my hideaway. it's cool, huh? have you messed around with any europeans? no, no, no. no, no, no. -since i assured you before that we're not prejudiced, a blonde won't do at all. drink! joe! it's cool, huh? yeah. -whatever you want, they've got it here. the latest arrivals. hope you don't mind if they cry. they haven't been taken yet. well? -what do you say? this one will go with joey grant. i think it'll have to be her finest hour. why not? i've bought her for you. -where's he going? where'd he go? who's out there? i'm warning you, i'll shoot. he must have heard us coming. -right now, i only care about what he knows. make chandley give it up to save himself. and if he won't spill his guts we'll spill his. mr. walker. couldn't it have waited until morning to invite me to join in your party games? -bring him over here. who is joe grant? haven't you had plenty of time to get to know him and ask him yourself? lex sent him to me. and? -he was born in memphis. that's all i know. tomorrow, they're gonna find poor old chandley's body floating in the lake. too bad. stop! -i'm still talking! he's a negro who wants to cross the color line... he's the brother of the one who they strung up. that'll do. let's go. -the shannon residence! harrison? i need to speak with old mrs. shannon. well bring her here. and make it snappy. -i'm gonna to have to get rid of this filthy beast myself. maybe she wanted to... that's up to my father. harrison? go and find lizbeth for me. -thank you, horace. i'll get it cleared up by tomorrow. close the door. i would like to speak to you about joey grant. liz! -liz! come back! liz! tell me. do you know who you are holding? -a nigger! a nigger. i know, joe! they strung up my brother because he loved a white woman. i'm sorry. -you, too. you love a white woman. i would avenge him if i killed you. if we're happy together, he's avenged. we must get away from here, joe. -tonight. we can't stay in trenton any more. wait for me here in a half hour. in front by the gates. liz... -hold me! no stan. not tonight. i want to be alone. piece of shit! -you know who you've slept with? with a nigger! no. that's not true... with a nigger! -joe grant! a memphis nigger! what you've done with him is shameful. he swore he'd have a white girl and you've accomodated him. no! -then that nigger must not... have touched you at all? stan! stan, i didn't know! if you had, would you have consented? -no. then it amounts to force. he raped you. yes, stan. yes. -yes. you know what that deserves? say it. say it! he should die. -whenever a black rapes a white girl, the one that did it always gets acquited through legal maneuvering. help yourself. are my eyes deceiving me? joe grant's about to leave trenton which only proves that this is a wicked town. this is fine thanks for the trouble your presence in trenton has brought me. -with all of their pretentious airs, all the people here go on making mockery a way of life. i've been repaid in one week for everything i've lost in twenty years. it only takes one nigger to drown all of trenton in its shame! lex sure has some brilliant ideas. you're talking out of turn, mr. chandley. -i guess that the pure lizbeth shannon had no idea, either? no, no. not at all. if you'd only seen their faces when i told them about you. how your brother got strung up for raping a white girl. -no, no... joe. no, no. don't do anything stupid. they're coming after you. -and i could help you get across the border. you still have a chance. no! chandley! hurry, joe! -you're in danger! i'll explain everything to you! mr. walker, tell this man to leave.... joe grant has murdered chandley. he's kidnapped sylvia shannon. -probably to ransom her. go on. hit the road. and the rest of you! split! -give me your gun. give me your gun! let's go after him before it's too late. why would you choose trenton to avenge yourself? when we didn't do anything to you? -how can you believe now that i'd want to go away with you? as long as i avenge him. you're going to pay dearly for what you've done. i was just sitting there when i was taken by a nigger! -don't you forget it! no! i won't forget anything! keep to your own kind! i won't let a nigger go around saying that i slept with him. -in the south, when a nigger sleeps with a white woman, we put him down like a rabid dog! stan! i've wounded him! don't move. i'll go and find him. -stan! kill him, stan. kill him! kill him. joe? -too late, liz. chandley and stan are dead. let me go. stay with me, johnny. we must be close to the border, joe. -after that, we'll be smiling pretty. remind me. we've left where? they're... they're not going to lynch you again johnny. johnny... stay with me. -i... we've got you surrounded joe grant. don't move! put your hands up! we've got you surrounded joe grant. -don't move! put your hands up! we've got you surrounded joe grant. don't move. put your hands up! -subtitles: depositio at 4..00 a.m. on friday, may 10, 1940, hitler invaded holland. so began a weekend destined to become one of the most momentous in history. the following day, saturday, may 1 1, winston churchill became prime minister. 24 hours later, on sunday, may 12... a mission was mounted with such speed and secrecy... that no written word of it ever appeared in the official files of the war cabinet. -the purpose of the mission... to get all the industrial diamonds out of amsterdam... before the germans took over the city. in a room above a shop in one of london's back streets... two of the three men chosen for such a dangerous task... met for their final briefing. one was walter keyser... a dutch diamond expert... a quiet man who'd lived in england for 10 years. the other, maj. dillon... an experienced intelligence officer, who was to be in charge of the party. but the key man on operation amsterdam was jan smit... a friend of walter keyser, and another diamond expert... who knew practically every dutch merchant in amsterdam. -he was also a man in love with life. jan smit knew that the value of the stocks held in amsterdam... was between 9 and 10 million pounds. he also knew there was no figure big enough... to describe their worth to the german war effort. for without industrial diamonds to cut and bore... tanks and airplanes could not be built. sorry i'm late, sir. -you know counciior de mattos of the netherlands legation. of course. maj. diiion, here, will be in charge of the party. how do you do? have you heard from your father? -nothing from holland. aii we know is german agents give great prices for industrial diamonds. the time is short, gentlemen, so i'ii get straight to the point. operation amsterdam has been given the highest possible priority. the government considers it so important, they're placing a destroyer at your disposal. -it will take you to ijmuiden. that's the nearest port to amsterdam. magnetic mines have been sown at all the harbor entrances... and german parachutists are established around three sides of the hague. a number of them have been killed already, in amsterdam. many were wearing dutch uniforms. -fifth columnists are everywhere. it can no ionger be assumed... that a dutch uniform contains a loyal dutch soldier. one final thing, gentlemen. we know the german troops have been ordered to cut off amsterdam by tomorrow. incidentally... if you're caught... we cannot help you. -diiion. your job is to get the amsterdam stocks. my job is to bring you and the diamonds back safely. and i want no dead heroes on this trip. gentlemen, these documents state... that your journey is at the request of the british government... and has the full approval of the netherlands legation, here in london. -may i, for the benefit of both our peoples... wish you godspeed and success to your mission. going on holiday, major? i've got another little job to do. but don't worry, it won't interfere with our plans. shall i take the cases? -no, thanks, i can manage. very well, sir. if you'ii follow me, gentlemen. what do you suppose our guests are up to, sir? i don't know. -diiion's easy enough to place. but the two dutchmen.... can you see a light ahead, number one? dead ahead, sir. let's hope it's the mole. -slow ahead, both. slow ahead, both, sir. steady as you go. steady as you go, sir. the approach is mined. -watch out for strays. are you going to take her in, sir? it's worth a try. port, 10. port, 10, sir. -steady as you go. steady as you go, sir. it's too quiet. stop both. stop both, sir. -take charge, number one. i'm going to see our guests off. aye, aye, sir. aii ready, sir. they'ii drop more mines during the day. -i'ii lie outside the outer harbor at 2000. you should get a boat. we'ii manage. it's 0600. that gives you 1 4 hours. -if you don't turn up, i'ii come back the same time tomorrow night. save the fuel. if we're not here tonight, go back to england. if you do not hurry up, they'ii be back. thank you for a safe voyage. -they're up early. see you at 8:00 tonight, sir. careful! let's get out of here. half ahead, both. -you did well. save your money for those who'ii take it. we've been paid already. i don't understand you. last night, another british ship was here. -she took our princess and her children to safety. this makes us very happy. we've been well paid. we're going back to england tonight. you'ii want to be rowed out to the ship? -7:30. i'ii be here. good. please, you must take them. look at this young girl. -no. look, please. german parachutists. you three! who are you? -what do you want? we've just landed from a british destroyer. can you tell us where the port commander is? how do i know you aren't parachutists or fifth columnists? we have identification papers. -so had they. we shoot the lot. you understand? nobody can be trusted. your commander will understand. -take us to him. aii right. but i place you under arrest. you understand? now, get in front of me. -toward the building with the steps. up! these men are parachutists or fifth columnists. the others had papers. maj. diiion, i am bussemaker. -i know many of your family. i watched your destroyer arrive. i hoped she was going to land some troops. i'm afraid we were the only passengers, sir. we have to get to amsterdam. -it's not very difficult to guess why you're here. do you mind if i add my little authority to these? pieces of paper can help on these occasions. certainly. i say they are fifth columnists. -put your gun away. they should be shot like the others. second wave. it's like this all the time. you all right? -yes. i see our spy-shooting friend's left us. there have been thousands of them out there. everybody wants to get to england. the trawlers are too few, and, each raid, we lose more. -could we take one of those cars on the quay? help yourself. they belong to the refugees. i hope you find one that works. we don't leave much to the enemy. -thank you. not at all. good-bye. good luck. those are the lucky ones. -bowerman was right about the mines. is that all you can say? there's nothing we can do to help. come on. one of them must work. -smit! stop that car! leave me alone! we need the car. we must get into amsterdam. -what did you want to do that for? well? this young woman wants to take her life. why did you stop me? because we need your car. -i'm a british officer. these gentlemen are dutch. we came here in a british destroyer. we were sent by your government and mine. how do i know you tell the truth? -i belong to the firm of j.k. smit, amsterdam. aii right. how much is that worth? it's quite pretty. it's not worth much. -it has flaws, and the setting is poor. get in. i'ii take you. reverse. no water. -i promised to take you. i keep my word. damn that man! leave this to me. aii right. -let them through. i work in a branch of the war ministry in amsterdam. i have a pass, that's all. we were lucky to find you. amsterdam, 84205. -even the windmills have stopped turning. how bad is the news? who knows? some say the germans are being beaten back. others say they've already occupied amsterdam. -there is no truth left in holland. what's your name? anna. what were you doing in ijmuiden? i was getting joseph's parents off to england. -who's joseph? joseph's my fiancé. he's a jew. he's away in the army. he asked me to save his parents, if the germans attacked. -i did. i put them on a boat. it was just a small boat. one of the three.... you mean, the three fishing trawlers in the mine? -if i hadn't put them on that boat, they'd be still alive. who knows, then it might have been worse for them. it's not your fault. thank you for trying to help. they're wearing dutch uniforms. -think they're all right? we won't stop to find out. keep going, anna, fast. now, we'ii never know. well done! -it's strange to be back. i can't believe the germans are so near. it's much too quiet. what's that thing called? how long since you were here, major? -i'd almost forgotten they existed. in holland, you can't celebrate whitmonday without a pierement. even this whitmonday. good luck! do you want me to wait? -please. perhaps you better come inside. we may be some time. it's not safe to leave the car. as you will. -you're sure it's all right for you to stay with us? it's all right. it'ii take my mind off other things. if there's any trouble, toot the horn. promise? -aii right. don't run away. mijnheer jan. mientje, is my father inside? hello. -who is it? hello, father. jan! waiter keyser! what are you doing here? -how did you get here? came on a british destroyer to collect all the diamonds we can. we don't want the germans to get them. of course. father, this is maj. diiion. -he's in charge of the party. this isn't just a british raid, sir. we have the full approval of the dutch legation in london. this will help, but it will not be easy. are you willing to help us, father? -what else did you expect? what you just said. now, we must make plans. coffee for our guests, please. yes, sir. -naturally, you will take all our remaining stocks back to england with you. but i can only speak for myself, not for the other traders. thank you. everything all right? i don't know. -that officer, he wants to know what we are up to. do you think he's a german? a fifth columnist? how do i know? will you be much longer? -a little while, we still have some shopping to do. remember... toot the horn if there's any trouble. get hold of young leyden, and between you... see that all our remaining stocks are packeted and properly numbered. yes, sir. the germans mustn't get our stocks. -what we are doing is right for holland, as well as the firm. i understand, sir. it's worse for the young ones. they don't know what to expect. that'ii be schiphoi. -it must be the airport again. that's where waiter's mother lives. anna's getting nervous. there's a dutch officer been asking her questions. we ought to be making a move. -how will you contact the other merchants? today is a holiday. it's possible some of them may be at the club. do you think you could find room in one of your safes for my cases? i think so, major. -may i, please? it's my gas mask. we shan't be long. don't leave the office. yes, sir. -what's the matter? the car's gone. and the lieutenant. i hope anna's not in any trouble. i hope we're not in any trouble. -i hope there's somebody inside. that's the lieutenant's car. try it again. it's johan smit. open the door, hurry. -sorry to frighten you, frederik. mijnheer jan, it's good to see you. thank you. any members here? a few, sir, in the clubroom. -we'ii go up. don't let any strangers in. you are worried about that lieutenant outside, major. he may be part of a reception committee. let's hope you're wrong. -this is jan smit! waiter keyser! jan. donald! how are you? -waiter, this is a miracle. gentlemen, i have something of importance to tell you. my son and mijnheer keyser came over this morning with maj. diiion. they're here at the request of mr. churchiii and the netherlands legation in london. they want to prevent our diamonds, particularly our industrial stocks... from falling into enemy hands. -are you suggesting we send our diamond stocks to england for safekeeping? yes, gentlemen. you must decide whether to send them to england with my son... or overland to paris or switzerland. the other alternative is to keep them here for the germans. how do we know the germans will take the city? -amsterdam will faii within a few hours. tonight, at the latest. how do you propose returning to england? have you a plane? mr. churchiii has given them a destroyer. -that is the value he places on our diamonds. this is a very grave issue, gentlemen. i suggest we call all the board for a meeting at noon. i needn't stress the urgency. we are agreed to call a board meeting. -good. that lieutenant has a disturbing habit of disappearing. do you think anna's a traitor? what do you think? she's a dutch girl in love with a jewish soldier. -a girl who'd rather commit suicide than face the hurt in her fiancé's eyes. it's hardly the role of a collaborator. i suppose she was going to commit suicide. waiter keyser... jan smit... -maj. diiion. it's not difficult to guess what they're after. you've done well. thank you, colonel. i want you to get back. -keep in touch with me, and don't worry about the lieutenant. i'ii try and make some arrangements in the smit area. we must afford our guests every hospitality. i'ii have the outposts warned at ijmuiden, ready for tonight. what's the number of your car? -gz-6231 . take great care. trust no one. and don't do anything silly, iike shooting yourself. is there any news of joseph's unit? -it was overrun last night. and joseph? casualty lists have stopped coming through. joseph's a brave man. he'ii be all right. -you'ii see. sometimes people can be too brave, colonel. good luck. gentlemen, this is an emergency meeting. mijnheer smit. -you've all had time to speak with the major, waiter and my son. you know why they're here, and why you are here. do you realize what you're asking us to do, johan? only too well. what will you do with your stock? -i shall send every stone i possess to england. if we give our diamonds to your son and his friends to take to london... how will they be covered? what about insurance? i have not insured my son. even in a destroyer, it wouid be a great risk. -surely it is safer overland to paris. holland may faii. but it is inconceivable that the french army will be beaten. gentlemen, the noise you can hear is the german army. there is no safe overland route to paris. -the only road out of amsterdam leads to the sea... and it may be cut at any moment. what do you think, waiter? it's a question of faith... and courage. i'ii call this afternoon... and hand over my entire stocks. -unfortunately, many members have their stocks in the vaults. today is whitmonday. the vaults will be under time lock until tomorrow. then blow them out. isaac? -johan, my friend... in the eyes of the nazis, many of us here have already committed one crime... that of being a jew. life under the occupation will be bad enough. but if they discover that we have sent all our diamonds to england... we can expect no mercy. if we give you our diamonds... we may be giving you our lives. you must decide for yourselves. -those who wish to follow spier's example will find me in my office this afternoon. you can't blame them, father, for feeling as they do. i don't blame them. more people about. more troops, you mean. -there she is, back, major. where have you been? i thought you deserted me. no shopping? come inside, anna. -i'ii stay in the car. if you don't get out, i'ii shoot you. i'ii take that. why did you go away, anna? come on, we're wasting time. -this wasn't in your bag this morning. where did you get it? while you were being so sorry for me on the quay... did you search my bag? time's running short. -i've a iot to do here, before returning to ijmuiden. my dear, if you are a patriot, you have nothing to fear. you are amongst friends. tell the major what he wants to know. i don't like being threatened. -but you're the one who told us not to trust anyone. do you think i would help those who killed joseph? when did this happen? last night. his unit was overrun. -he may still be alive. probably a prisoner. who gave you the information? i went to see col. jansen at the war ministry. -i told you i work there. i went there to try to get help for you. does he know why we're here? he can guess. did he give you this? -yes. what about the soldiers in the street? i told him about the lieutenant... so they were sent in case of trouble. the colonel also promised to warn the outposts at ijmuiden... so that we can get through tonight. anna, you're wonderful. -isn't she, major? yes, she's done very well. very well. we're all sorry about joseph. thank you. -will you tell me what your plans are, major? i have friends in amsterdam. i've got some things to arrange. now? taking your suitcases with you, of course. -yes. i'ii get them. you staying with us, anna? i came back to help. what do waiter and i do? -sit here all day, waiting for the merchants to show up? i want you both to visit the vaults. study the building, see what the chances are of getting in. i feel happy about it now, don't you, waiter? i'ii feel better when we fill the shopping bags. -spier has promised to come. i hope some of the others will, too. this morning, i was hopeful. but now.... don't worry, father. -you've done all you can. who knows, by the time we return-- i hope so, jan. we shall all be back by 4:30, sir. jan, take care of that girl. -let's hope your colonel sent those men. drive to the center of the town. you still don't trust me. better have your guns ready, just in case. i was wrong about you. -i'm sorry. would you have shot me? of course. now, drive to the vijzeistraat. our soldiers have to dig them out. -the fifth columnists are everywhere. these are the people who stay to fight. there are many of us like that. i'm glad you feel that way now. where to now, major? -flower market, please. they're getting closer. you're sure you don't want us to come with you? no, thanks. i'ii see you at 4:30. -right. orange rose. good-bye, anna. good luck, major. twenty cents, please. -thank you. your house of orange looks very strong. i'm diiion. alex is expecting me. what's wrong? -we have company. can you lose him? i think so. i'ii drop you around the corner, in the square. then i'ii drive on, and come back in 20 minutes. -will you be all right? don't worry, i know amsterdam. she'ii be all right. anna's a very remarkable young woman. i don't like the look of that. -there's nothing much we can do now. i think we'ii be safer if we wait in the café. i can manage now. you must go home. there's nothing more you can do. -will you be all right, sir? thank you. i'm expecting a few friends, that's all. leave the outer door open. see that she gets safely home. -we'd better wait outside for anna. we don't want to miss her. they say a iot of the german parachutists are mere boys. when captured, they cry for their mothers. in waaihaven they dropped some, disguised as nuns. -this morning, i saw some police beating up two nuns. the only trouble was they were real nuns. that's all right. lock it. sorry. -aims please, gentlemen. don't forget the pierement. keep to the rear of the organ. stop! come back! -drive on, anywhere. what's funny? my father asked me to look after you. the major was right about the reception committee. they're early. -shopping bag's still empty. the lieutenant wouldn't know that. he may try again. i think it's a good idea if we keep away from the office for a while. waiter, how would you iike to pay a visit to your mother? -come right through, please. are you alone? yes. i see you have already had visitors. just one. -spier. the others are mine. i would iike to add mine to those... but i must make up my mind. it's not easy, you know. my wife's not well. -her lungs are bad. with proper treatment, the doctor thinks she might stand a chance. i do not try to bribe, you understand, johan. if they send her to a labor camp, it will kill her. i'm frightened, but only for my wife. -they separate you, you know. what are you trying to say, my friend? i'ii give you all my diamonds. aii i ask in exchange is that the british destroyer... takes miriam to england. impossible. -the british captain is under naval orders. he'd have to refuse. don't you see? if he took one passenger, he'd have to take a thousand. i thought i'd try. -you understand? i must think. i'ii speak to miriam. have they been, father? just spier. -they're on the desk. who's this? his name's wiiiem. his parents were neighbors of my mother's. they were killed in an air raid this morning. -my mother found him. he wants to get to engiand-- the lieutenant had a go at us this afternoon. did he? perhaps he thought you were trying to leave. -did you have any luck at the bank? no, it's like a fortress. there's no caretaker. did you get rid of the suitcases? yes, they were delivered. -at least we've got something to take back. such a iong way for so little. you mustn't blame yourself, father. while you're waiting, you might like to eat. there's some food in my room. -it doesn't look as though they're coming. i owe you all an apology. this morning, when you arrived, i was too optimistic. your friends have arrived, father. let's hope they've decided well. -it's all right. they're not leaving yet. come in, gentlemen. we know we're late, we apologize. but it wasn't easy to make up our minds. -what have you decided? we have brought you our diamonds. they must go to england. i don't know what to say. you've risked your lives by coming here today. -you risked them again by the decision you made. but it's the right one. miriam thinks these diamonds ought to go to england. i'ii give you all receipts, before you leave. no receipts, please. -it would incriminate everybody. as you see, very few of us came. the others have their stocks under time lock, in the vaults. there was no point in their coming. instead, they sent a message. -they, too, would iike their stocks to go to england. good-bye, gentlemen. good-bye. this is better. thank you, sir. -jan, from now on, the head office of the family firm will be in london. you will be in charge. i suppose there's no point in asking you to leave amsterdam? i'm part of holland. major, patrol has been changed. -the flashes are different. can you check? amsterdam, 63505, please. col. jansen, this is anna. -please, listen carefully. have you just replaced those troops you sent? i thought not. their flashes are different. he will try and send help. -he wants 15 minutes. we can manage that. thank you. colonel... have you any news of joseph? i understand. -thank you. don't worry, the colonel won't let you down. your reception committee, major? looks like it. any earlier, they could have grabbed the diamonds from the merchants. -the lieutenant's not in the street. maybe he's gathering more friends. it seems a pity to leave the other diamonds in the vaults. can you blow a safe? no. -can your friends? yes, they may be able to help. dead? will you forget about the bank? no. -the vredenburg is north of the flower market. how long will it take you to get there without the car? ten, twelve minutes. right. at the rembrandt pottery works, ask for alex. -tell him i want him to get inside those vaults. tell him it might be a big party. he'ii understand. i see. you may be searched by the soldiers. -you better hand over your ministry pass. are you mad, sending a woman? she won't make the corner. send one of us. we may have to fight for it. -i'ii need you and waiter. but it doesn't make sense. it's too risky. we can visit alex after we leave in the car. we're trying to beat the clock and the germans. -every second counts. i'ii give your colonel till 5:30. then i shall make a break for it. and with any luck, we'ii see you and alex at the bank. major, you have no right to make her go. -she's not one of us. nobody's making me go. please be careful. they've stopped her. look at him pawing her. -don't be a fool! stay here. how do you think she feels? i'm not concerned with feelings, only with results. they've let her go. -sorry, major. we leave at 5:30, sharp. time's up. we'ii go without the colonel. good-bye, sir. -good-bye, major. good-bye, johan. waiter. you're going without me. you promised you'd ask. -don't leave me, please. please, i'ii grow. i couid be a soldier, i couid fight for england. i'ii do anything, please. please, mijnheer keyser. -better let him come with us. he might be able to find a boat at ijmuiden. good-bye, father. jan. i've got something for you. -these diamonds belong to you. i got them for you when you were a little boy. take them, please. be careful. i couldn't leave this. -you guard that with your life, waiter. turn her round. take it easy till we find out what the form is. there are too many of them. take your pick, major. -now, jan, quick! the colonel cut that pretty close. you three all right? you were right, it is a fortress. there's the bell. -haven't you done enough for one day? this job's urgent. is there a caretaker? no. that bell can only be stopped from inside. -when it goes off, it'ii wake the dead. we'ii have to risk it. the organ's still here. that'ii make enough noise to drown all the bells. get it, jan, will you? -wiiiem. come on. are you ready with that thing yet? you know how it works? yes. -get it going. make it faster. stand back. keep going. if there's any trouble, change the tune. -you wait in the bank. i'd rather wait by the car, in case you want to leave in a hurry. okay. how long? it'ii take time, i'm afraid. -30 minutes, maybe more. first, peter has to play with the combination dials. then, the time lock must be blown. get back, under the stairs. listen. -the time lock's still holding. will it free itself? can't tell with these things. might be minutes or hours. let's try another charge. -there's no time. we'ii give it five minutes. it's time, major. thanks for trying. she's gone. -thanks, peter. let's finish the shopping. quiet, all of you. the tune's changed. what do you mean? -it's wiiiem's signal that something's wrong. take alex and the others, and see what the trouble is. we'ii follow. i'd hate to leave anything, now that we've got this far. wiiiem, get down! -who is he? the lieutenant. how about him? is he all right? his leg. -it's nothing serious. how many of them out there? about 20. alex, i've got to leave here with my friends, now. we'ii cover you. -you should have no trouble. don't worry, we'ii take care of him. what's your other name, wiiiem? lubke. i'ii remember that. -aii ready? yes. wait till i give the signal. you won't be leaving for a while, major. there's another truck full of them. -how many charges to move it? four. string them together. short fuse. rudi. -i'ii see to the truck for you. that's my job. it's also your job to see the diamonds get through. the other side of the road will give you more cover. use the empty shop. -once you've lit it, get rid of it. we'ii help you from this side. you, take the second window. stay here. kill them. -come on. what the devil have you been doing? the lieutenant paid us a visit. twenty minutes, anna. will you make it? -if nothing holds us up. get through them. get out of the way! keep going. stop her. -come on. where are the tools? under the bonnet. thanks. marieke! -no, anna! that ship won't wait. let's move. your names? maj. -diiion. jan smit. waiter keyser. what is the number of this car? gz-6231 . -col. jansen's compliments. we are to see you safely through to the harbor. thank you, captain. get out of the way! -we made good time. ask her, jan, while i go and find our boatman. i'ii come with you. what did the major mean? we want you to come to england. -without you, we couldn't have managed. you risked everything to help us. dear, kind jan. what can i say? it would be so easy to say yes. -why don't you? aii i know is that i must stay here. this is where i can help. holland will need all the help she can get. but you've done enough already. -what do you want to give? your life? if necessary. you know... that we all love you. will you look for joseph? -if he's alive somewhere... i shall find him somehow. i shall never forget us, jan. bless you. did you find him? -yes, he kept his promise. but he was dead. air raid. what about the boat? gone. -let's try the other end of the quay, we might find one of the harbor tugs. they're usually over there. is she coming with us? i have already explained. sure you won't change your mind? -believe me, i'm very grateful... but i can't. we have a iot to thank you for. good-bye. good-bye. don't be angry. -i want you to have this. it's from all of us. you've all been very kind to me. may i take this with me? it will wilt before the morning. -but holland will grow strong again. we're going to requisition your tug. it's a matter of military urgency. i'm not taking this old tub out again tonight for anyone, mister. we haven't got time to argue. -we're meeting a british destroyer outside the harbor at 8:00. when you find joseph, tell him... that i'm coming back to steal his best girl. may god see you safely all back home. cast off, waiter. and you. -now, tug master, the destroyer. that's for your trouble, skipper. what the devil's that? the batavia shell oil dumps, in amsterdam. you've had a busy day, major. -i think we've all had a busy day. including anna. she's a brave woman. there'ii be many annas in holland before it's all over. 5 years of the revolution. -directed by dziga vertov. ...on the red square. we have good doplomatic encounters only with france. the german ambassador. chicherin. -...welcomes the world working class. the greeting from the komintern. comrade landriet (france). comrade kolarov (bulgaria). comrade katayama (japan). -5 years of the fight. kolchak. we swear to die for the republic. budyonny. perekop. -...of the efforts. the victims. "we'll never forget you". comrade barbolin - the worker. born -march 20, 1897 in moscow. wounded october 29, 1917. died november 5. -"glory to those who died for communism. victory - to those who stayed alive." the hunger. the new economic politics. today... -on the walls... in the newspapers... 5 years! we lead the world proletarians. the course to the mechanisation. the fall of capitalism. -shop-windows. streets... the course to the training. the course to the machines. the end. -this place rots. stupid boring, quiet boring, one-horse boring town. why do i have to burn my saturday volunteering ? you're not volunteering. it's called community service. -and you wouldn't be doing it if you didn't pull the fire alarm during your i.q. test. i wouldn't be doing it if you hadn't arrested me. you know, sometimes it sucks having a dad who's the town smoke. well, sometimes it sucks having a daughter who's the town delinquent. i take it back. -gee, thanks. it always sucks. please don't make me do this. i hate old people. you don't do this, you won't live to be one. -can't we just discuss this ? you're going. end of discussion. i will do jail time. go. -scoot. i can't tell you how much i appreciate this, sir. no need to thank me, fargo. you've earned it. having your own office is a right of passage. -it's a symbol of status and rank. it tells the world you've arrived. not yet. section five ? pace yourself. -what's down here ? you... and your new office. congratulations, fargo. you deserve every square foot of it. -thanks. what did you do to get put down here ? i earned it. having your own office is a right of passage. it's a symbol of status and rank. -rank's the word all right. it smells like something died in here. like... say, the 1970s. you have no vision. once all this junk's gone, this will be an exemplary office space. -just lacking... a woman's touch ? style. well, you got a lot of great stuff in here. it just deserves our respect. -the dumpster's down the hall to the left. dumpster ? no-no-no-no. one man's trash is another man's treasure. been nice doing business with you. -check this out ! what do you think ? stereo ? sure. first generation ipod. -how do you turn this thing on ? on ? it's got key holes. and we got keys. i saw some in the desk over here. -hey, these two match. here. go unlock your side. ready... set... go. just another old piece of useless junk. -that was almost exciting. primary firing sequence initiated. weapon will deploy in 24 hours. i don't think i like this station. car or no car, it is a 30 mile an hour zone. -don't you have anything better to do than harass me. no. not really. now you do. yeah, all that can't be good. -what's going on, sheriff ? i was hoping you could tell me. this sort of thing happen often ? not to my recollection. i've never seen anything like it. -it's some sort of i.c.b.m. i.c.b.m ? please. look at the circumference. clearly, that's an i.r.b.m. -so you guys have seen this before ? nope. nope. thanks, guys. big help. -what do you think it is, sheriff ? oh, i know exactly what it is. trouble. carter. it's allison. -we've got trouble. that's exactly what i said. trouble. well, hello. i'm doris stokes, the director. -you must be zoe. unfortunately. i've heard a lot about you. but everyone deserves a second chance, right ? or a third or fourth. -let's put you right to work, okay ? actually, doris, see i usually ease into my day with a latte, maybe some sort of pastry. f unny. i understand we have you for the next 13 saturdays. 13 ? -100 hours divided by eight-hour shifts. i'm afraid that three months of saturdays is not gonna work for me. so why don't we say we'll just get the whole thing over in one fell swoop ? let's start with the rec room. up... and to the side. -holy crap ! this is the rec room ? it's a nice place to die. even nicer place to live. the residents of eureka give so much. -this facility is our way to give back. run out of tennis balls ? i guess all the massages in the world can't stop you from losing your mind. here. so, doris, are there any age restrictions on getting a room here ? -you've got a darling sense of humor. come on. i've signed you to eugenia. eugenia, this is zoe. she's going to assist you today. -if i desired assistance, i'd be living in an assisted living facility. don't mind her. she has a teence of an attitude problem. do not ! do not ! -you two should get on just fine. you smoke ? no. drink ? no. -you lying ? maybe. what kind of a name is zoe anyway ? it's a popular one. you know, probably as popular as eugenia was back in the great depression. -for once, doris may be right. how's my hair ? your hair ? it's fine. how's my hair ? -why are we whispering ? what matters most is the matter of how we handle anti-matter. that used to be me. anti-matter, unlike matter... you used to talk to yourself ? -no. he used to talk to me. it had to come from somewhere. keep looking. yes, sir. -doctor stark. allison. glad to see you. sheriff. scientist. -which of your guys is responsible for the cuban missile crisis popping up all over town ? they're not missiles. really ? cause i have a town full of extremely anxious people who think they look a lot like missiles. what are they, nathan ? -and why do they look a lot like missiles ? we're working on it. so you don't know ? he doesn't know. don't touch the buttons. -i have to call this in to the d.o.d. not yet. we have plenty of time to figure this out. well, i can't only wait too long and i'll need to have answers. like, what are these things that look a lot like missiles, but aren't, popping up all over your top secret little town ? -give us a little room, people. sir, even henry's a lot smarter and faster than me... fargo, that's the best decision you've made all day. henry ? well, it's definitely a weapon and this machine controls it. -tell me you know more than that. it's set to discharge a huge ionosphere particle beam. oh, jeez. okay, this ion-beam-thingy, that is what exactly ? -irradiated, uranium isotopes. oh, god. oh, death ray. why didn't you just say "death ray" ? i searched your entire database. -there's not one single record of silos, or irradiated isotopes, or ionosphere particle beams. try "death ray" ? it's as if the machine never existed. did you try turning it off ? why didn't i think of that ? -fargo, turn the machine off. and that's a stupid question ? i mean, you did just turn it on, right ? that was an accident. jack, this machine was built at the height of the cold war. -there is no off switch. could you cut the power source ? and risk there's a fail-safe and it fires immediately ? i'm gonna take that as a no. how much time do we have left ? -weapon will deploy in 23 hours. finally, a straight answer. we need to arrange for transport trucks and establish evacuation routes. make emergency contingencies for every location that could be hit. area hospitals should be prepped for emergency overflow. -and we'll need to estimate collateral damage in and around the target perimeter. good. you can hear us right ? unfortunately. you're panicking. -we're not panicking. we're reacting. you say "death ray", we have a reaction. you said death ray. it's a ray, right ? -it causes immediate death ? yes, it could cause immediate death. simply blow up and people here would immediately die. it could strike moscow and people there would immediately die. then moscow would retaliate and people everywhere would immediately die. -evacuation is moot. no place is safe. you choose a great time to be indifferent. i'm not indifferent, sheriff. i'm focused. -we have 24 hours and we happen to be in the most advanced scientific facility in the world. housing the largest supercomputer in the world. populated by the smartest scientists in the world. we have plenty of time to figure this out as long as we don't panic. but we've downloaded, scanned, and decrypted every file every schematic, and every piece of paper of every project ever developed here. -and there's nothing. well, maybe not every piece of paper. this is every piece of paper i pulled from fargo's office. something here has to tell us about that machine. come on ! -scientists are so smart. how come they don't know anything about penmanship ? pardon the alliteration, but which would prefer ? penmanship or progress ? tequila. -scotch. really ? what's, uh... what's "it"? it what ? -i.t. it's scribbled at the bottom of all these pages. i don't know. maybe information technology perhaps from the department from which these documents originated ? looks more like someone's initials. well you are the detective. -marshal. sheriff. that sounds like a demotion. hand me some pics. what's the shiny thing ? -is that a solar flare ? that shiny thing is a mirror. you do remember the moon landing, right ? do not tell me that didn't happen. no, it happened but we didn't go to the moon just to walk. -we put mirrors all over the moon to bounce signals back to the earth. telescopic images, satellite communications. death rays ? they weaponized the moon. i mean, they can bounce a laser off the moon and wipe out any target they want. -what, like tanks and stuff ? no, cities and stuff. so you're telling me while the world watched neil armstrong take one small step for man... n.o.r.a.d. took a giant leap for themselves. well, with the help from someone at global. -someone with the initials i.t. i.t. irvin thatcher. it has to be irvin thatcher. irvin thatcher was this brilliant scientist behind m.a.d. -m.a.d.d.? mothers against drunk driving ? mutually assured destruction. oh, that m.a.d. you said he was a brilliant scientist. -was... or is ? this is easily explained. the atom nucleus is comprised of positively-charged protons and neutrally-charged neutrons. when a nucleus is bombarded by a neutrally-charged particle, the result is fission. um, you lost me right after "this is easily explained". -okay. let me try it another way. your father is a proton. your mother is a neutron. you are a free radical. -you're caught stealing cds in the mall. you hit your parents with that news. what happens ? they go nuclear ? exactly. -and split. you... you think that i'm the reason my parents split ? no-no-no-no. zoe. -zoe. what ? i'm doing the job. i'm helping people. i'm assisting... people. -be right back. please... carry on. this is the "oppressive jerk who's all up in your biznezz ?" i see you've found something to talk about. hi. -sheriff carter. nice to meet you. i'm looking for a retired scientist. swing a cat. a dr. thatcher ? -irvin ? room 101. but why do you want... wait for it. hey, room 101. -that would be ? room 101 ? right this way. what do you need him for, sheriff ? there's a situation. -even the brainiacs at global can't figure it out. but... there is one guy in town who can. and... apparently, this is the guy. dr. thatcher ? and this is the guy ? -the question remains, fusion of fission ? fission ? certainly not. i haven't been fishin' since i lived on lake erie. you think that's erie ? -how do you explain quasar energy paradox ? or baldness among musicians ? this is the guy. right this way, dr. thatcher. right this way. -well, give the doctor some room. sir, sir ! right this way. dr. thatcher, it's an honor. i'm henry deacon. -this... this machine of yours. it's really something. it's like a riddle inside an enigma wrapped in ten inches of titanium alloy. -we're assuming it's similar to other space-based weapons, using a single channel transponder package. or maybe a survivable low frequency communication system. in which case we'd have to reassess -certain aspects of our approach. guys... go easy. we need that launch code, sheriff. and easy's not gonna get it. neither is browbeating the man. -just give him a minute. dr. thatcher ? we think the controls are behind this panel. i just can't figure out how to get to them. these locking bolts, they're some kind of proprietary threading ? -reverse the hex. excuse me ? if you want sex, reverse the hex. sheriff, at any point when you picked him up, the car ride, the long walk down here, happen to notice this guy's not all there ? yeah, there may have been signs. -righty loosey, lefty tighty. got it. bang up job. reverse the hex. the screws recede. -it's brilliant. okay, dr. thatcher. all i need is a code... to suspend the launch sequence. charlie, tango, lima. no. -charlie never tangoed in lima. here. he's just tired. dr. thatcher, why don't you take a seat ? don't give up, okay ? -up, down. up, down. the windows on the bus go up and down. up and down. any luck ? -the windows on the bus go up and down. up and down. up and down. up and down. the windows on the bus go... -were we our kids sent home from school ? is there gonna be a missile strike ? do we need to evacuate ? no reason to panic, folks. i heard it was a death ray. -that's ridiculous. that's obviously a rumor. started by an idiot. who's he ? is he responsible ? -oh, yeah. folks, listen up. just go on home. okay ? situation's completely under control. -it could also be thermal conductive resistance. let me take a look. yeah, it looks like they used the classic formula. red for hot, blue for not. yellow's usually the ground. -so i guess... it's pretty safe to cut the blue. what do you think ? weapon will deploy in 20 hours. do it. launch code override initiated. -yes ! weapon will deploy in seven hours. no. let's not cut any more wires. all right. -dr. thatcher, i know it's in there. just give us a hint. gravity. the natural force of attraction exerted by a celestial body upon objects at or near its surface. that's great. -give me a second. look, we have our best people working on this. you don't know nathan, but he will find a way to shut it down. nothing against your husband-- ex. -soon to be ex. but the man with the answers is sitting right there. we just need to figure out how to get them out of him. what ? what what ? -you got that look on your face like you know something i should know, but you're not telling me. spill ! i can't. it's classified. -it's nathan's turf, and there's no way that... allison, if we don't stop this thing, there won't be any turf. what is it ? okay. the gravity. -got it. what ? hey, allison. absolutely not. that technology is highly experimental and far too dangerous for anyone to... -carter ? really ? that's just a risk we may have to take. so this is basically a... vulcan mind meld ? -the px-24 allows one person to probe the consciousness of another. in theory, anyway. in theory ? well, we haven't performed a human test run yet. "in memory of skippy." -he was everyone's favorite test chimp. did he die on this thing ? no. autopsy was inconclusive. carter, listen. -i'm not gonna think any less of you if you don't wanna do this. what am i looking for... again ? sequences, equations, codes. okay. -a kiss for luck ? last chance to be a hero, doc. you just say the word. worth a shot. carter, are you okay ? -eugenia. okay, i'm stopping this. no ! keep going. stockholm. -linus pauling. eugenia. eugenia. who is eugenia ? carter. -did you see how to stop it ? no. but i saw what happens if we don't. irvin, we're gonna go and see that girl of yours. would you like that ? -don't play coy with me, okay ? i've been inside that big brain of yours. i know how much you love her. that doesn't go away, does it ? well, i don't think it does. -and i know that when you're not thinking about nuclear holocaust, you're thinking about eugenia. that's what i thought. got you with the nuclear holocaust thing, didn't i ? i put a trace on the hot wire. the power source leads out the back. -that's where the machine is vulnerable. now, if we can reach that, then we can get to the guts off the thing. i got a team in section 5 working on a laser bombardment drill that will bore right through the titanium shell. yeah, unfortunately, your guys in section 4 tell me it's not titanium. it's arconium carbonide, which is... -impenetrable. but. i believe we can get there from here, through the base of the machine. if we tunnel down, under, and up, we'll be directly behind it. and then i think we got a shot. -tell fargo to give you anything you need. and not to touch anything you don't. bad news, good news. we didn't get anything from thatcher. but carter wasn't hurt in the process. -and the good news ? here you go, buddy. take a seat. i'll go look for eugenia, and you enjoy the view. with a room. -where is that ? linus pauling. royal palace. stockholm. sweden. -how do you know that ? i don't know. i was there. when ? recently. -do you know where eugenia is ? she's not to be disturbed. her words, not mine. come on. this is her. -eugenia ? eugenia, it's zoe. has she done something wrong ? no, no. eugenia, it's sheriff carter. -i need to talk to you. is there something i should know ? no. there is, isn't there ? actually, yeah. -yeah, that crack i made about your being a delinquent. yeah. didn't mean it. you're my girl. it's really bad, isn't it ? -no. eugenia ! eugenia ? eugenia ? eugenia. -come in, jo. where are you, jo ? come on, jo, talk to us. we all live here. we have a right to know what's going on. -what is the trajectory of the weapon ? is there a sea-based boost phase intercept ? have the launch protocols been initiated ? don't know. don't know, don't know. -go home. we've got everything under control. except for that. zoe, think. did she say anything about going anywhere, doing anything ? -not that i remember. how about family ? did she ask the kids picking her up ? it never came up, okay ? where is that ? -the mensa think-off. yeah, i seriously doubt you can compete. no, the sundial. where is that ? copernicus park. -i can... it's on the south side of the distilled water tower. come on, that's where we find my girl. i thought i was your girl. wait, that sounded weird. -henry, how's... henry, how's the-... henry, how's the drilling going ? ! this laser bombardment drill cuts through quartz like butter. -i should be done drilling in, what... five hours. weapon will deploy in four hours. drill faster. yeah. oh, my god. -eugenia, what... what are you doing ? how'd you even get here ? henry souped up my chair. i can go 50 miles between charges. -so why have i been pushing you around all day ? i wanted you to feel good about yourself. like you were assisting. fine. i didn't hate the company. -dad, are you okay ? eugenia. dad, what the hell are you doing ? why did you do that ? i'm not sure. -mind your own business, zoe. sorry. your anniversary. our anniversary. anniversary. -of what ? you and me. him. thatcher. anniversary ? -he never even proposed. yes, he did. i saw it. trust me. never happened. -is dementia contagious ? no... okay. in his mind, he proposed. i mean, right here. that's why you come here. -i come here... for lunch... every day. this is where we first met. we'd sit... and look at the sky. he told me how the stars shined, how the planets revolved around the sun. how his universe revolved around me. -and then his universe came crashing down and mine with it. what happened ? we were going to get married... in stockholm after irvin won the prize. the nobel prize ? -no one imagined linus pauling would win a second nobel. it was devastating to irvin. he had a complete mental break the day of the announcement. the day he was going to propose. the day i lost the love of my life. -the picture. the virtual stockholm. you must think i'm a fool. pining over a love that's gone. it's not gone. -we just have to pick up where we left off. did i say we ? sorry. weapon will deploy in three hours. well, there's gotta be something. -i mean, use explosives to blast through the rest of the bad rock. this machine was programed as a second strike dead man's weapon. any kind of explosion and... i cannot believe we built this thing to protect ourselves. i'm gonna have to put a call in to the d.o.d. -you can't. i have to. you can't ! i think that they'll notice if we start world war iii. -allison, think about it. what are you gonna say ? "we may accidentally blow up "moscow, beijing, pyongyang, and stockholm ?" okay, i know how fond you are of stockholm, nathan. -but this is bigger than you. if you tell them that we can't stop it, they're gonna try and stop it. they'll nuke us and-- and, i know, any kind of explosion can trigger the device. i get it. -but we're running out of options. beg to differ. gonna need to borrow your nobel. it was open. sorry. -what in the hell are you doing ? we're gonna party like it's 1962. i miss sheriff cobb. you should wear that dress more often. do you think this'll work ? -works for me. let's hope so. oh, sheriff. when a light bulb goes off in your head, what are we talking ? 15, 20 watts ? -if you have a better idea, i'd love to hear it. no ? yeah. better get started. jo ? -you look-- no, ladies and gentlemen and you look... the other way. and distinguished colleagues. -welcome to stockholm. robert oppenheimer famously said, "the atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable." one man never forgot those words. the man we welcome among us today. -a man whom nobel committee and the norwegian parliament have selected for this year's award of the nobel prize, dr. irvin horatio thatcher. fargo. dr. thatcher. i got that. -he's been carrying that speech for 40 years. a simple little children's song. but it was this song that inspired my concept of mutually assured destruction. we build an a-bomb, they build an a-bomb. we build an h-bomb, they build an h-bomb. -round and round, round and round. the wheels on the bus leading us towards an unending escalation of newer, more powerful, more deadly weapons. which is what led me to my greatest achievement. the ionosphere particle beam. in order to ensure peace on earth, -i built the deadliest weapon in the universe. but that's the end of the story. let me take you back to the beginning. we don't have time to go back to neverland. dr. thatcher. -there's an urgent situation that needs your attention. sorry. i would just like to end by thanking the committee. and eugenia, my love, without whom this achievement would not have been possible. we have a lot of catching up to do. -i don't like that look. what's wrong ? my crew. i've gotta get my crew to fix the device. your crew ? -oh, for the love of god. 30 seconds and counting, guys. ready. set. go ! -key 1. key 2. enough. launch code override initiated. yes ! -yes ! all right ! oh, crap. dead man's protocol activated. launch sequence initiated. -second strike weapon will deploy in five minutes. did somebody cut the blue wire ? not good. very not good. this is the one that assures mutually assured destruction. -how do we stop it ? you can't. it can't be shot down. henry, how much time do we have left ? 30 seconds. -is there anyway we can realine it ? once it wrap down to its target, it cannot be realineed. ten. will it work ? i think desperate times call for desperate measures. -henry, when you outfitted my jeep, did you put in any air bags ? seven. six. carter. five. -four. three. two. henry, you got it ? i got it. -it missed ! we missed the moon ! carter, carter ! great job, man. we missed the moon. -we missed the moon. we missed it ! little help ? but where did it go ? the zephyr rover is making its final approach to jupiter. -pasadena, we have a problem. that's gonna be a shiner. yeah, well. one small step for man, one giant welt for me. so, when are you gonna tell him my nobel isn't his to keep ? -i don't know. he saved your ass. i think he earned it. no, i earned it. it's mine. -take it away. lose a great scientist. it's not a difficult equation. you never know, you might need thatcher to dismantle the next ticking time bomb. good point. -really ? you did a good job, carter. thanks. i had a little help from my crew. you remember that feeling ? -it's nice to know that it lasts a lifetime. you kind of depressing. a little. i'm just grateful that we finally got together. i said "we" again, didn't i ? -yeah. how long is this supposed to last ? i'll see you tomorrow, carter. no, seriously. synchro: -seth cohen and csivore subtitles downloaded from podnapisi.net come on, honey, get it all off! come on, make me stand up for queen and country. show us what you got! -come on, honey. come on, all of it. yeah, there you go. and the rest! ah, come on, babe. -if one more person calls me "babe"... mr santos, the package has arrived. my special order? under lock and key. what about the new dancer? -who? the blonde with the guns. ah, if she's more to your pleasing. it's her first night. i haven't had a chance to feel her out. -but you'll be pleased with the special order. she is as tender as tuscan veal. how's the crowd, honey? wet. come again. -she's chinese. very well done. they loved you. i'd like to talk to you about coming back. in my office. -i'll be waiting for you. sure thing, big boy. what are you doing here? looking for a light. got one? -i don't smoke. neither do i. who are you? i'm getting you out of here. trust me. -right this way, mr santos. shit. come on. go! ahh! -minka! what are you doing? ever see batman? no, i can't. no. -no! shut up. goddamn it! here's your little pride and joy. thank you. -thank you from the bottom of our hearts. we thought we'd never see our little girl again. thank you. cut the shit. where's my money? -honey, pay this woman. i'm afraid there's been a slight problem. i could only come up with half the money. half the money? fine. -i'll take half your daughter. wait. i'm sure we can negotiate something. the car plus the cash. not a bad night's work. -it was the second american civil war. the world had gone to hell. the year was 2017. the worst year of my life. there was only one free city. -and that's where i lived for three years. ort steel harbor. what a shithole. why don't we start again? from the beginning. -i told you. i told you everything i know. i told you. mind scan up on screen one. image is present. -image is recording. citizen, i... uh, i abhor torture. but your words just don't match your thoughts. there are too many details you're just not sharing with us. our little mind-reading device doesn't lie. -reset sensors. now, where's dr corrina devonshire?

(gurgling wail) -(gurgling wail) their humble upbringing could not disguise the fact that these were no ordinary peasants. they betrayed their origins by a bond of sympathy so extraordinary that each could feel the joy or pain of the other in his place. and, as the years passed, this would prove to be a heavy load to bear. i'm going to the market. -but now, you boys be good. both: yes, nanny.

(sighs) it's poison oak, my brother. -yeah. oh. hey. hey, brother? hello? -you would have been dead, buddy. what are you doing? practising for the revolution. with a potato? ah, but not just a potato. -look at this. get down! what was that? a bombe de terre. in back of every murderous deed was the evil fuckaire. -my little poofter. you must not soil your delicate little paws with this dirty peasant. eh, poofter? we know what he has been doing, eh? he has been stealing a log from the royal forest. -he tell me it is for his hovel, to warm his starving children. mon dieu, if you believe that, you'll believe something. i know what it is for. it is to make weapons. and he should know that weapons are forbidden in my kingdom. -or at least the queen's kingdom.

(screams) -(she sobs) strange. is something wrong? having fun? come on, let me down from here. -i'm getting tired from this. we're going to try it upside down. i've got to go to the bathroom. now let me down. this will stop you going to the bathroom. -my god, you're going to feel it this time! oh, my god. why don't you scream? if you don't let me down, i'm going to give you such a scream. now let me down! -it's that fuckaire. he has my brother.

(gasps) ow! we give up. -fuckaire: guards! guards! where the hell were you? ! -call yourselves guards? (fuckaire laughs) so, my friends, we have caught you, eh? and you wouldn't beat me, eh? so now i'm going to whip you to death. -you may whip us, fuckaire, but you'll never beat us. corsican brothers! my friends, at last you must learn... ne fuc pas avec mois! to the dungeons with them! don't worry, my brother. -they can't stop men who want to be free. oh, mother, your hair! (shrieking) i told you never to call me "mother"! yes, i can see it, my brother. -what is it? i can see the big dipper. the big dipper? yes, i can. and i can see venus. -and i can see the moon. all i see is your anus. it's out there, my brother. yes. we're in luck. -because if that's the big dipper, that means the north star is... let's see, you take the bottom star from the cup, you align it with the handle, and... you know what i see? i see a big idiot standing in front of me. why do we always stay and fight? -why couldn't we escape when we had chance? my brother, there are some things that you cannot run away from. if this revolution is to survive, men like me must fight. even though the cause is hopeless, we must fight to free our brothers from the chains of oppression. what brothers are you talking about? -the only brothers i see around here is me. and all you do is get us caught. did you ever stop to think that maybe you're the only guy in the revolution? you know, like, where's your followers, huh? hey! -would you follow him into a revolution? of course not. cos you got half a brain. so who's following him? (imitates donkey) -i've got an idea. quick, take off your clothes. hey, wait a minute. we're brothers. no, take off your clothes. -hey, you haven't been in jail that long. this should be enough rope. if we're gonna hang ourselves, let me go first. i'm tired and hungry. and i'm cold, too. -if i could just think of a way to get through those bars. ow! hey, watch out up there! it's amazing. this french bread gets stale, it gets as hard as a rock. -ow! so what? this just might be the tool we've been looking for. (clinking) i think i can get through now, my brother. -i did it! ok, throw me the rope. hold on tight, my brother. ok. i smell freedom. -i smell... i smell food. must be imagining things. huh? chicken! -oh... oh! oh! wait! (gurgles) -but lucien was not a man to forget his brother. he remembered how they had loved and cherished each other through the long years of separation. how deeply the fate of one had always affected the other. and his loyalty strengthened his heroic resolve. and so, for his beloved brother louis, -lucien prepared to draw together his peasant followers and bring an end to oppression forever. hey! come here, my brothers. the time has come. listen to me. -we have been living like miserable dogs long enough. (cheering) we must fight to take back what is ours. and tear down this miserable government and replace it with our own people. are you with me? -i said, are you with me? all right. let's organise and fight! enough! now, today is a special occasion. -today we have the 5,000th execution this month. i'm very grateful to all you dirty peasants for putting your heads together to increase productivity. and for this special occasion, we have a special execution. none other than that disgusting, drivelling, dirty peasant, the corsican brother. (crowd groans) -perhaps, you dirty peasant, you would like to say a last word? fuckaire, the only thing i want to say... is you've kept me in a dungeon, and you beat me, and you tortured me, and you even kissed me! urgh! and i want these people to know that the only thing you've really done is made me really, really hungry! and that's not nice to do to a mexican. -i'm supposed to get a last meal. i never got a last meal. i'd even eat french food. thank you for those kind words. nice to know we have another satisfied customer. -oh, look, there's ants in that basket. my only regret on this wonderful afternoon is that the other corsican brother, the revolutionary, is already dead. nothing would give me greater pleasure than he should witness the death of his dirty br... agh! fuckaire! -(laughter) i must have merde a la tete! the dead corsican. i accept your invitation. his dirty brother shall not escape. -execute him! you dirty peasants, don't touch me! keep away. don't touch me. you can kick me if you like, but don't touch me. -argh! how dare you? we're just about to get to the part where we laugh and laugh. (mouths) i've had enough! -en garde! take the other one. this one is mine! (guard laughs) i've got you! -i've got you! (splintering) no! (screams) oh, to be sure! -(laughs) (laughs) fuckaire. oh, there you are. you're finished. -so, you corsican dog! you troublemaker. why couldn't you let me kill you quietly at the guillotine? you had to make revolutionary speeches. you turned my beloved dirty peasants against me! -one more execution, that was all i needed for the record. you spoiled my fun. well, my friend, from now on you will find i am no longer mr nice guy! oh, look at that! what is it? -can i have it? oh, that's wonderful! so, anyway, the princess said "is that a wart in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" so it came to pass that france was delivered from tyranny and emerged into a new age of freedom. -the evil fuckaire had perished, as was just. and of lucien and louis it may be fairly said that theirs was a most special destiny. # if i could be the one you love # if you would let this dream come true # then i would ask for nothing more # but to live life loving you -oh! i'm so excited! i've never been married before. don't do that. i'm gonna get pregnant right away. -how long is this going to take? i have a riding lesson. where is that brother of yours anyways? boy, his swinging days are over. i'm gonna cut his rope right off. -i think i need a drink. vait. you can just vait. back. you're just going to have to train him. -yes. we'll go to the opera, the ballet, to the theatre. i'll have him take dancing and singing and elocution. i'm going to change the way he walks, the way he talks, the way he eats, his clothes, his pants, his jacket, his hair. oh, i have lots of work to do. -yes. we'll go shopping. and to paris, to visit mother... (cackles) hey, louis! -let's get out of here! and so the corsican brothers escaped from the pages of history. thanks, brother. let's go to america, start a revolution! all right! -i'm with you! (feedback) one... two... # as i got on the city bus and found a vacant seat # i thought i saw my future bride walkin' down the street -# i shouted to the driver "hey, conductor, you must slow down" # "i think i see her. please let me off this bus." # nadine # honey, is that you? -# oh, nadine # honey, is that you? # seems like every time i catch up with you, you got something else to do # i saw her from the corner and she turned and doubled back # she was stepping towards a coffee-coloured cadillac -# movin' through the crowd tryin' to get to where she's at # i was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat # oh, nadine # honey, is that you? # oh, nadine -# baby, where are you? # seems like every time i catch up with you, you got something else to do # downtown lookin' for her, lookin' all around # saw her get into a yellow cab and take her to town # caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab -# tipped a $20 bill, told him "catch that yellow cab" # oh, nadine # honey, is that you? # oh, nadine (mimics elvis) # say, baby, is that you? -# seems like every time i catch up with you, you got something else to do play it, baby. take it, chong. # well, she moves around like a wayward summer breeze # "go, go on, driver, go on, catch her for me, please" -# moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier # leanin' out that taxi window tryin' to get that girl to hear # oh, nadine # honey, is that you? # aaahhh, nadine -# oh, baby, is that you? # seems like every time i catch up with you, you got something else to do # seems like every time i catch up with you, you got something else to do # nadine! # baby, is that you? -("nadine" instrumental version) (narrator) history abounds in stories of men who rose to meet the challenge of destiny. brave men touched by the fire and passion of revolution. this is a story torn from the romantic and violent pages of history. a true story of two noble brothers, of the bond of sympathy that united them, and of their devotion to a just cause. -their daring adventures have been too long unremembered, perhaps because they did not seek personal glory. but, on this bright summer day in pan's, fate is about to take a hand. non! non!

(mimics elvis) yeah. we're the marx brothers. i have something so important to tell you. -but first i need money. ah, give her some money. it's coming... it's coming... i need more money. -it's coming... give her some more money, she'll come quicker. money, more money. ok. i'll tell you the first part. -she'll tell us the first part. a long time ago, on an island far, far away... even before their birth, the brothers' lives were marked by irony and intrigue. their father was a rich and powerful aristocrat, and, had it not been for a romantic indiscretion of his passionate young wife, our heroes might have been raised as gentlemen, and we would have no story to tell. boiling water. -basins of it. le chaud, ie chaud. go away!

(gurgling wall) (gurgling wall) -their humble upbringing could not disguise the fact that these were no ordinary peasants. they betrayed their origins by a bond of sympathy so extraordinary that each could feel the joy or pain of the other in his place. and, as the years passed, this would prove to be a heavy load to bear. i'm going to the market. but now, you boys be good. -(both) yes, nanny. (door closes) aarsh! argh! i'm sorry! -i'm sorry! i'm sorry! (chuckles) you donkey! ow! -(wails) shut up, ape. we gotta think of a story. ok, ok, ok, ok, ok. a dragon came by... -yeah. ok, ok, ok. a dragon came by and he breathed on the house... and caught it on fire. and it caught on fire. -yeah, yeah. and then we killed it. yeah... no, no. we were gonna kill it. -yeah. gonna kill it. but it flew away. it flew away, then we killed it. then we killed it. -ok, ok, ok, ok, ok. and we were putting out the fire. yeah. we were gonna put out the fire... and the gypsies stole us! -yeah. just before we put out the fire, the gypsies stole us. yeah. ok, ok, ok. and then they took us across the river. -yeah. and they killed us. no, no. they were gonna kill us. yeah. -they were gonna kill us. they tied us up with a golden chain. but then we killed them! yeah. with-with a guitar. -yeah, yeah. we killed them all. cos they were gonna come home and kill everybody at home. ok, ok. ok, ok. -they'll believe that. ok. yeah. ok, let's go home. yeah. -hey, where you going? i'm going home. no. no, home's this way. no. -home's this way. you're stupid. home's this way. you're cuckoo. it's that way. -afraid not! 'fraid so! 'fraid not! 'fraid so! 'fraid not! -meet you at home. home's that way. i'll be there before you. you'll get lost. 'fraid not. -wait and see. (sings "la cucaracha") this looks like the place. hello? anybody home? -nanny? hello? where is everybody? hello? all right, one move and you're dead. -who are you and what are you doing here? i came home. i used to live here with my brother. you're lying. i used to live here with my brother. -lucien! yes? it's me! louis! don't you recognise me? -i'm your brother louis! you're lying. my brother wasn't mexican. look! it's me! -ow! louis! lucien! louis! louis! -where did you go? i, uh... (clears throat) i got captured by gypsies. and, um... and, uh... they took me to... to mexico. -you're lying. you got lost. i didn't get lost. you did. the gypsies captured me. -i've been living in mexico all this time. you look great. but you look so... so mexican! well, yeah. i'm a big landowner there now. -they call me don louis. except for when i'm mad, they call me crab louis. it's a mexican joke. you look... you look terrible. what's goin' on around here? -where is everybody? we've fallen into terrible times since you left, my brother. evil men rule the country. all our people are either dead or in jail. these evil men, they... they rape the fields and pillage the women. -that's evil men. indeed, there were only two things a french peasant could count on: death and taxes. and, given the sometimes overzealous methods of the tax collectors, one often preceded the other. it's good to be back in the woods. -it's so peaceful. (sighs) it's poison oak, my brother. yeah. oh. -hey- hey, brother? hello? you would have been dead, buddy. what are you doing? -practising for the revolution. with a potato? ah, but not just a potato. look at this. get down! -what was that? a bombe de terre. in back of every murderous deed was the evil fuckaire. my little poofter. you must not soil your delicate little paws with this dirty peasant. -eh, poofter? we know what he has been doing, eh? he has been stealing a log from the royal forest. he tell me it is for his hovel, to warm his starving children. mon dieu, if you believe that, you'll believe something. -i know what it is for. it is to make weapons. and he should know that weapons are forbidden in my kingdom. or at least the queen's kingdom. (chuckles) -or so she thinks, eh? my lovely little poofter. give me a kiss. mon dieu! halitosis, eh? -"on! non! non! my friend, you see we are so considerate to you dirty peasants. we have brought your wife to join you for company. -are you sitting comfortably? (qfbans) you are? we can't have that. stretch his legs wider. -(peasant moans) wider. you ever had a taco? i guess they don't have tacos in france. i remember one time at this restaurant i used to work at... -i mean, own... they had a contest to see who could eat the most. i ate 143. and i was still hungry. but they had to close the restaurant. i'm so hungry i could eat a bowl of lard with a hair in it. -here, puppy! here, puppy! mon dieu! my god'.! i have been hit with shit! -allel! vite! vite! vite! poofter, did you see what happened? -poofter? oh, my god! where is my little poofter? oh, i mustn't lose my poofter! excuse me. -i am so sorry to bother you when you are so busy, but have you seen my poofter? no? oh, my god. no, no, no, don't come back! look for my poofter! -(wails) there's a lot of meat on one of these little suckers. i wonder if he wants any. hey, puppy. come on. -come on. there we go. hey, you like it? that tastes good? this guy's a vicious little dog, man. -goes right for the throat. what a hunter. we ought to keep him around all the time. he belongs to fuckaire. no wonder he's so vicious. -that reminds me, we'd better keep our eye out. fuckaire's men will be out here looking for him. hey, puppy. hey, puppy. hey. -sorry, my brother. i should have known better. hey, don't worry. we just got their dog. what's the most they can do to us? -hey, man, this is not going to be so bad after all. this is like a country club. must be some of the other inmates. hey, brother, let's not get into a gang. that complicates things. -let's keep our noses clean, do our time and get out. oh, wow! co-ed! hey, this is not going to be so bad after all. man, this ain't one of those prisons where they cut your hair? -did you see that? (shouting in french) easy, my brother. what? look at these people. -they envy us. hey, you wanna be me? i'll trade places with you. we're about the same size. look, look, i'm sorry. -this is all a big mistake. come on, man, we can work something out. fuckaire! fuckaire! we thank you for allowing us the opportunity to show our people how real men die. -you may kill us, fuckaire, but you will never kill the revolution. i am corsican. i am not afraid to die. (cheering) bravo! -allez! allez! bravo, bravo. what a great pity that such noble words... should be your last words. can i say something for a minute? -i'm mexican, and i'm afraid to die. i wanna live! we didn't do nothing to your dog. we didn't kidnap him, man. we found him. -you should be thankful, man. you should be giving us a reward. but we'll let it go and let bygones be bygones. be brave, my brother. let me be the first to die for the revolution. -let him be the first to die! sure, be the first to die. wait a minute. they cut his head off, i'm gonna feel the pain. wait a minute. -(crowd chant) corsican! corsican! corsican! corsican! corsican! -corsican! (chanting continues) ooh, there he is. there he is. where? -there. arréttel! silence! my friends, you dirty... you peasants, i have decided in my great mercy... because i am so tenderhearted... to spare the lives of these brothers corsican. -hope of liberation floated in the air. but even as the brothers made their bold ascendancy to heroism, the missing pieces of their complex destiny were now falling into place. their manly virtues were observed by the queen's lovely daughters, who hid their affections behind a veil of royal upbringing.

(man) monsieur nostradamus. the brothers were not masters of impersonation. but the strength of their resolve made up for it, and they soon found themselves comfortably situated in the palace, at ease with their aristocratic enemies. they knew the princesses would throw themselves in the path of love if given the chance. -but even that temptation did not spoil the supreme poise with which they carried off the masquerade. oh, i'm so glad you're here. oh, i am so glad i'm here, too. this is so much fun. ok, we're going to tum you around. -all right. now, tell me, what is it like in spain? well, honey, that's the end of the world. wanna talk about the end of the world, that's the end of the world. it's so hot. -is it true what they say about the queen of spain? i don't know. what'd they say? that she's bald. she bald? -(laughs) honey, she got more hair on her legs than she got on her head. and what about all those lovers? oh, god! they don't call her the frijole for nothing. -she's like a door knob - everybody gets a tum. that's a yoke, huh? oh, a good yoke. yeah. they were gonna name a port of entry after her. -greetings, my peasant brothers. i bring good news. the revolution goes well. soon i'll be able to free you from your miserable existence. take heed, have faith and au revoir. -(glass smashes) can i ask you a personal question? oh, surely. where your daughters' room is? oh, my daughters. -they're so lovely. they're just like their father. oh. whatever happened to the king? i don't see him around here never no times. -well, one day he went hunting with the fuckaire... and then he never came home again. i don't trust that fuckaire. he's a sneaky guy. well, you have to trust someone. it's hard being the queen. -i know what you mean. especially in these pants. clear in his purpose, lucien searched for a weapon strong enough and big enough to intimidate friend and foe alike.

(fuckaire laughs) so, my friends, we have caught you, eh? -and you wouldn't beat me, eh? so now i'm going to whip you to death. you may whip us, fuckaire, but you'll never beat us. corsican brothers! my friends, at last you must learn... ne fuc pas avec mois! -to the dungeons with them! don't worry, my brother. they can't stop men who want to be free. oh, mother, your hair! (shrieking) -i told you never to call me "mother"! yes, i can see it, my brother. what is it? i can see the big dipper. the big dipper? -yes, i can. and i can see venus. and i can see the moon. all i see is your anus. it's out there, my brother. -yes. we're in luck. because if that's the big dipper, that means the north star is... let's see, you take the bottom star from the cup, you align it with the handle, and... you know what i see? -i see a big idiot standing in front of me. why do we always stay and fight? why couldn't we escape when we had chance? my brother, there are some things that you cannot run away from. if this revolution is to survive, men like me must fight. -even though the cause is hopeless, we must fight to free our brothers from the chains of oppression. what brothers are you talking about? the only brothers i see around here is me. and all you do is get us caught. did you ever stop to think that maybe you're the only guy in the revolution? -you know, like, where's your followers, huh? hey! would you follow him into a revolution? of course not. cos you got half a brain. -so who's following him? (imitates donkey) (subs) i've got an idea. quick, take off your clothes. -hey, wait a minute. we're brothers. no, take off your clothes. hey, you haven't been in jail that long. this should be enough rope. -if we're gonna hang ourselves, let me go first. i'm tired and hungry. and i'm cold, too. if i could just think of a way to get through those bars. ow! -hey, watch out up there! it's amazing. this french bread gets stale, it gets as hard as a rock. ow! so what? -this just might be the tool we've been looking for. (clinking) i think i can get through now, my brother. i did it! ok, throw me the rope. -hold on tight, my brother. ok. i smell freedom. i smell... i smell food. -must be imagining things. huh? chicken! oh... oh! -oh! wait! (qurgles) but lucien was not a man to forget his brother. he remembered how they had loved and cherished each other through the long years of separation. -how deeply the fate of one had always affected the other. and his loyalty strengthened his heroic resolve. and so, for his beloved brother louis, lucien prepared to draw together his peasant followers and bring an end to oppression forever. hey! -come here, my brothers. the time has come. listen to me. we have been living like miserable dogs long enough. (cheering) -we must fight to take back what is ours. and tear down this miserable government and replace it with our own people. are you with me? i said, are you with me? all right. -let's organise and fight! enough! now, today is a special occasion. today we have the 5,000th execution this month. i'm very grateful to all you dirty peasants for putting your heads together to increase productivity. -and for this special occasion, we have a special execution. none other than that disgusting, drivelling, dirty peasant, the corsican brother. (crowd groans) perhaps, you dirty peasant, you would like to say a last word? fuckaire, the only thing i want to say... is you've kept me in a dungeon, and you beat me, and you tortured me, and you even kissed me! -urgh! and i want these people to know that the only thing you've really done is made me really, really hungry! and that's not nice to do to a mexican. i'm supposed to get a last meal. i never got a last meal. -i'd even eat french food. thank you for those kind words. nice to know we have another satisfied customer. oh, look, there's ants in that basket. my only regret on this wonderful afternoon is that the other corsican brother, the revolutionary, is already dead. -nothing would give me greater pleasure than he should witness the death of his dirty br... agh! f u c ka i re! (laughter) i must have merde a' ia téte! -the dead corsican. i accept your invitation. his dirty brother shall not escape. execute him! you dirty peasants, don't touch me! -keep away. don't touch me. you can kick me if you like, but don't touch me. argh! how dare you? -we're just about to get to the part where we laugh and laugh. (mouths) i've had enough! en garde! take the other one. -this one is mine! (guard laughs) i've got ygu! i've got ygu! (splintering) -no! aaaargh! oh, to be sure!

(scuffling) (chanting) and bring her back. (silenced gun fires) (groaning) -i can always handle the media. (silenced gun fires) (groaning) (foreboding music) i've been locked underground so long, -i forgot there was an outside world. thanks for bringing me. yeah. do you wanna talk about it? well i guess if you were sent here to kill me, you'd have done it already, right? -you bet. but i only kill trancers. three steroid shots a day for the past four months. that's a standard dosage for a level one soldier. that's a pretty heavy boost. -look, only squids can be tranced. you've got the guts to fight back, now what happened to you huh? i wanted it, okay? you wanted what, have your brain scrambled by a fucking lunatic? i'm a soldier, jack. -it's all i got. i just wanted to be the best. so after army basic i was approached by a suit named jason, about an elite fighting group. elite fighting group? trancing. -it elevates your physical prowess, raises your pain thresholds, so in the field no one can stop you. like it turns you into a raving psycho and a whacked out goddamn zombie, huh? you don't have to convince me, jack. i'm the one who is awol remember? i know what trancing does to you. -(scoffs) hell of a soldier, ain't i? i don't trust the guys in my outfit, now i'm a deserter. i need to get to the colonel, garrett. you can't. but you can get to jason. -here. nice cover, huh? pure cia. good evening. how's it going? -you shouldn't be here, this is a restricted area, didn't you see the sign? we're just having a conversation, officer. oh well, then keep it short. i didn't mean to startle you, i just uh, noticed this gorgeous vette, and i had to come down and take a look. yeah, she's real fine my 409. -a 60 vette and the beach boys? i could've guessed. (gun fires) (groaning) (anticipating music) -come here you dizzy bitch, you just dumped a cop! god, you almost shot her in her eye. nail polish, ring. that's not regulation, check if her weapon is a browning. shit, she's one of jason's cia dorks, we've been tagged. -oh, you're good sweetheart. you're real good. that old muthuh can kiss my ass. (anticipating music) listen garrett, i know you're scared, but we've still got some moves left. -colonel muthuh will never find you in a million years. (foreboding music) jack, where are we? i wanna send you to some place safe, i just haven't figured out what year. -what are you talking about? dammit! what? it was right here! disappointed? -back up! (scuffling) one sound, private, i snap your spine like a pretzel. another wasted sister, i knew it. what was he looking for? -a way out of the shitter. get up asshole. now where on earth would you wanna run? desert your comrades in arms at a crucial juncture? no, i don't think you understand, private garrett. -too much has been invested in you, and the only way you're gonna leave us now, is inside a body bag, is that clear? (ominous music) prepare her for immediate reorientation. listen to me private garrett. now listen. -you're mine. and i'll need you. the corps needs you to fulfill your destiny. and you know what that is. don't you? -take her. (groaning) now what are you looking at? you want a medal for bringing her back? if you'd done your job, this whole thing would never have happened. -now i can only speculate as to why you were assigned to my project. but as long as you're here, i expect more of you than bureaucratic incompetence. i'm glad she's back for the program's sake. you're glad, huh? -well i'm glad you're glad. in the mean time, senator mccoy is coming and he wants a demonstration. you set it up for me, without fail, mister. we need that funding. if it goes as well as it did today, sir, the senator should be impressed. -you never served, did you? in armed conflict. you know my record. covert operations. no, i meant something in the field. -up to your ankles in mud and other soldiers' guts. waiting for that moment to re-engage the enemy. real combat. i've been on extensive maneuvers sir, in combat simulations, and i wouldn't be afraid to fight. and you're a fool. -fear can make you sharp. as soon as i pass my boards, i went right into the army medical corps. for years i watched our boys die in the field because they weren't trained to fight with everything they had, that's when i started work on the trancing drug. to save them. -(gun cocks) well i find your accomplishment enviable. you don't like it when some of my soldiers refer to me as daddy muthuh, do you? i just find it disrespectful, sir. it's a combat name. -i was mother and father to those boys in the field. but i bet you've never been there, have you? no, you've never tasted blood. and if you don't know how it feels to be a soldier, then how can you possibly know what a soldier needs to be a great warrior? -(foreboding music) (laughs) my little bureaucrat. he's a squirrelly civilian, isn't he? (groaning) -he doesn't get it, hit him again. never better. if you had any vision, you'd understand what this is all about. so i'm gonna give you a taste, mr. deth, who knows, you may even be officer material. only squids can be tranced. -like private garrett? just watch my eyes, jack deth. listen to my voice, lose yourself in it, no, no, no, you can't go back so why fight it, much easier, just to give yourself up to me. (screams) just let it pass. -if you wouldn't fight the drugs they wouldn't rip you as much when you come down. i hate losing control to these bastards. it's my brain, it's not theirs. you better cool it, now. colonel muthuh let you back into this program instead of having you shot. -so you better start acting accordingly, private. understand? what did they do to jack deth? let the colonel worry about him. let me worry about you. -(foreboding music) (groaning) i'm really looking forward to meeting our honored guest, sir. senator mccoy is one of the few men on capitol hill or anywhere else, who understands what we're about. we'll take him where you want him to go, sir. -you're a good man, lieutenant. good man. (anticipating music) i'm gonna be honest with you, colonel. unless i really see something, the money spigot's gonna be turned off. -you know that defense programs are just as important in peace time as they are in war time, senator. now the work that we're doing here, could make the difference, in our next conflict. well then why don't you try to impress me? you see senator, when a soldier is in a trancing state, he or she, is capable of incredible physical acts in the field, but we don't want them wasting their energy, which is why each soldier can find that discipline to trance, only when it's absolutely necessary. -but the trancing mode is still started by this steroid? isn't it? yes it is. by the time a soldier reaches level 10 of his training, he can bring that trancing mode out of himself, without the use of drugs. oh yes, a troop's strength can be enhanced chemically if we choose to do so, we always have that option. -(groaning) (heaving) (laughs) you're right, that's one hell of a kick. you're still at charity, little bro. wait until you reach level 10. -come on. hey, daddy's little helpers. you fucked with the wrong brothers, ace. (laughing) (spits) -colonel the problem isn't that your program has failed, the problem is that there's no place for it anymore. the world has changed, our defense monies are going into different pockets now. i'm not talking about the world, senator. i'm talking about this country. i'm talking about using my soldiers to wage a war against the scum that's turning this land into a cesspool. -making honest citizens afraid in their own homes. i'm talking about reclaiming our cities. our neighborhoods, our streets. now that's something worth fighting for, isn't it? senator, you have no idea, what my soldiers are capable of. -you're not getting me, no. you're not gonna get me, nah-ah. (foreboding music) the colonel wants to see you in the pit. now. -very well. oh god, jack. jack, it's r.j. (upbeat music) (scuffling) come on, fight me matt! -i give up, doug. i give up. (scuffling) (groaning) i told you. -they are the finest warriors in the world. oh come on, let's get outta here, jack. what do you mean, let's get outta here, where the hell are we going? i don't know, we're just getting out of here. if you hadn't mouthed off, i would never have been in this mess. -just a second. jack. no offense r.j., but if this is a setup, i'm gonna turn you into fish food. jack i can't control my trancing, -i don't know what i might do. i just wanna get the hell outta here. you can fight it. with my help. but you gotta want it, goddammit. -and that's why i wanna show you the main trancing chamber, once a soldier is in place, his mind can be turned over to me in a matter of minutes, in fact i'll show you our latest conquest. it's amazingly effective. (gun fires) arm yourselves! that's an order. -how you holding up, r.j.? i'm holding on jack, but the colonel's shit is pulling me the other way. hey, just remember who the bad guys are. let's get outta here. (anticipating music) -you guaranteed me results, you can't even guarantee me my own safety in this fucking place. i will provide personal escort... you're wrong again, colonel. i'll mail you a copy of my recommendations for funding, asshole. attention everybody, this is the colonel, this is a code red, repeat, code red! -private garrett is trying to escape with the prisoner. (alarm blaring) (guns cocking) bring the power out of yourself. use the power i gave you and annihilate with extreme prejudice. (guns firing) -(groaning) (gun fires) hey r.j., you could help me kill one of these guys, you know? i'm trying jack, but colonel muthuh is still inside my head, i can't help it. if i pull it off, you can pull it off. -fight it goddammit, i don't wanna kill you. jack! fight it, goddammit! drop to the floor! (guns fire) (anticipating music) -nice shooting r.j. i tried jack, i tried. (anticipating music) kill me. kill me! -(gun fires) (groaning) (sad music) (electricity crackling) (glass shattering) -where is jack deth? (anticipating music) (groaning) thanks for doing my job for me civilian. (scuffling) -you know, it makes me sick, i have to spend my life defending a country full of weaklings like you. scum like you, aren't worth defending at all. weak jack, weak. (laughs) huh? -(neck snaps) hey godzilla. you saved my ass. that's what colonel stillwell sent me here to do. i'll help you fight your enemies. -(upbeat music) (gun fires) (guns firing) very courageous strike. mr. deth. -but one battle is hardly the war, is it? shove the purple heart, muthuh, i'm taking you out. shark! (fizzling) (foreboding music) -(scuffling) damn shark, why don't you help me get this dizzy bitch off of me? (groaning) (foreboding music) oh you can't kill me jack deth. -i think i can. even your humor belongs to me. i own every thought, every impulse you posses, i know everything you're gonna say, think or do. now look at your hands, they're starting to shake, aren't they, yeah? now put that gun in your mouth, soldier. -like all great warriors who find new ways to win. i'll find my way, my place in history. oh, you're starting to hesitate, mr. deth. that could get you fragged in the field of battle. oh well. -(gun fires) (groans) (gun fires) (groans) (glass shatters) (beeping) -(serene music) where the hell have you been? circuit board damage, it caused my power supply to cut off without warning. oh you're good. you're real good. -(foreboding music) don't do this. (serene music) you know shark, i'm uh... i'm tired. -i'm really tired. alice stillwell has instructed me to give you a message if you survived this mission. jack my darling, i hope you're hearing this because that means we've all survived. you've given new life to thousands of people up the line, the council is forever grateful and hereby requests your presence immediately. now i'm really pissed. -(serene music) welcome back jack. shark. you may approach us, commander deth. cut the crap, ruthie. -you guys don't look any worse for the wear. how's your arm, harris? just fine, jack. managed to have any fun down the line? nothing but. -alice. it's good to see you, jack. the council has summoned you for a very special reason. not interested. i wouldn't mind going to some of those islands offshore with you though. -not till we get this straightened out. you did a good job for us down the line, jack. we want you to keep on doing it. we're appointing you our official peacekeeping emissary of time and space. wait a minute that sounds like you can bounce me from year to year. -this is an official appointment jack, it can't be declined, congratulations. for what, who the hell knows where you can send me next? (funky music) we do. but don't worry, you won't be alone. -i could get used to this again. oh not me, him. (laughs) here jack, you're gonna need this. so how about it jack? -you wanna start your vacation by taking me to dinner? that's the best idea i've heard all century. come on shark, if we're gonna be partners. you'll like me once you'll get to know me, jack deth. you know shark this could be the beginning of a beautiful... -forget it. (serene music) narrator: it was a nightmare. a complete disaster. -15 fbi drug enforcement agents killed. 15 of my closest friends. it was a perfect set up for an undercover sting operation. we had everything in place. what we didn't count on was that one crazy irish ex-priest -could cost us so many lives.

anderson and moore. their real names? you think micelli has a print out on agents' names? hey, tony. -you know that fbi print out list? i want to see it. you girls have a big opportunity here to make an awful lot of money. each of you is assigned a man... -or in some cases, a couple. look at your portfolio. now, this operation is very simple. you yourselves are on this ranch because you are also rich. and during the course of the evening, -you find the schmuck you've been assigned to. you get him to drink, get him to smoke, get him to do cocaine if you can. anything he wants, that's what you want. get him to gamble. -you get him to lose. you make 10% of whatever he loses. and, of course, anything else you can take off of him is yours. just like a stiff. -these people are hungry to gamble and party. fuck their brains out. get 'em goin', girls. make 'em have fun. if they have fun, they won't give a shit how much they lose. -ok. and who knows?

-and he wants to see you suffer. thanks for the watch, pops. come on. come on, man! come on, tony. -please, tony. please. pure magic, man. tony, come on. you gotta get me out of here. -shut the fuck up. know what, chief? what's that? this is weird. kind of... kind of gives me the creeps. -i know what you mean. pull over. yes, sir. deborah? what's up? -things ain't going well. send in back up, right away. you are covered. secure the doors! show us your hands. -hands up! quiet! quiet! don't anybody move. quiet over there. -now, it's the winter of our discontent made perfect. mr. micelli? are you here, laddy boy? i've come for me money. come here! -get your rocket launchers, you get your grenades, and you level this place. be careful. they're all around. do you hear me? -and above all, the guy with the white hair, he dies. i thought you were dead. ah. the wee brown leprechaun. you! -look at me! where's micelli? ah. have some loyalty, lad. mr. micelli! -you see? tuesday's finally come! may the good lord bless ya. everybody, down. hold tight. -yes, sir. ok, now. we'll wait for a while, give them a while to get into things seriously. then we're going to bring the delivery up -for anderson and moore. you all got that? then we're gonna go up, and we're gonna enter the house on my command. swarm the ranch, remove him. -get as close as possible. now, i want everyone taken alive, all of them. but if any break out, any hostilities at all, a dead rat, fine by me. what's with you fucking morons?

mr. micelli? i've been looking for you, lad. where are ya, ya little bloody rat? mr. micelli? -the errand boy is here! fucking crazy fuck. fucking die! motherfucker. irish piece of shit! -if i had five of these fucking guys on my side, i'd salute the fucking wall! zack: come along, micelli! come along! -you owe me $20,000, bastard! where are you, you fucking scumbag? you fucking irish leprechaun! come on, you dick! i'm surprised at you, mr. micelli. -i'm not a dickhead. i'm an irish pig, you fucking dago scumbag! zack, what's the matter with you? you know i was gonna pay you. you know i was gonna pay you, zack. -you make me run through the bushes, you ruin my $1,700 suit. what's the matter with you, zack? look, i have money for you. i was gonna pay you. -you know, you've gotta relax. heh, heh, heh. zack: shut it! mr. micelli. -it was such a lovely little war. but it'll have to end. jesus christ, mother of god. virgin mary. i'll see you in hell, brother. -no! you little scumbag. you were gonna shoot me, you scumbag. you dago scumbag. come on. -come on. come on. burn, you fucking irish prick! burn, you cocksucker! burn! -here's your fucking money! you burn! we're really hip. hey, get a grip. he's a radical rat. -that's a fact, jack. oh, man, what's taking michelangelo so long? i'm starving. steady, raphael. remember, a ninja is always patient. -here comes the cavalry, bringing marshmallow, octopus, and chili pepper pizza. at last we can do some serious deep-dishing. this is a perfect opportunity for me to demonstrate my latest invention: the automatic pizza-slicer. whoa, it looks more like a pizza shredder. -face it, it just looks like shredder, period. it'll carve up those pizzas in the blink of an eye. uh, donatello, are you sure this is such a good idea? hey, have you ever known one of my inventions to fail? uh, never mind, don't answer that. -whoa! whoa! whoa! turn it off! uh, i'll-- i'll handle this. -oh, no, that was my favorite bow. nice going, boy genius. you just turned our lunch into wallpaper. i think that machine of yours is a little over-engineered, donatello. uh, gee, guys, i'm really sorry. -well, dudes, looks like we're heading up to vinnie's. yeah, for some unshredded pizza. donatello! what happened here? gee, sensei, another one of my inventions backfired. -it's the third time this week. the only way one learns is by making mistakes. although i admit this was a particularly messy mistake. i don't know, sensei. i mean, i'm supposed to be the brainy one, yet all i seem to do lately is goof up. -there is no dishonor in failure, my student. you must learn to turn your failures into victories. i'd like to turn this thing into scrap metal. do not be hasty, donatello. before this day is over, you may yet understand the meaning of what i have told you. -hoo, what a job, cleaning up that mess. i deserve to watch a little tv. vernon fenwick, ace reporter here. i'm at the reptile house, where a new turtle habitat has just been opened to the general public. this new sanctuary will be a boon to turtles everywhere. -all right! score one for the good guys! and now, back to our studios. ew, what a waste, spending our hard-earned tax dollars on a bunch of dirty, smelly reptiles. uh, vernon, we're still on the air! -dirty, smelly reptiles, huh? why, that overblown windbag! he can't talk that way about our species! i'm going down to channel 6 and give that vernon a piece of my green mind! this is april o'neil with an important news bulletin. -we have word that an unidentified flying object has just landed in the mid-town section of the city. an alien creature has emerged, wielding a large variety of technologically advanced weapons. eyewitnesses describe the alien as having the appearance of a large, vicious turtle! a large, vicious turtle flying a spaceship? that almost sounds like-- like slash, the evil turtle from dimension x. -nah, couldn't be. that slash character was as dumb as mud. that ufo must have landed around here somewhere. "police barricade-- do not pass." aw, that just means humans. -oh, no. i don't believe it! it's the space scow. that's the ship slash made his getaway in the last time we met! he really must be back. -trouble! all right, slash! binky. why would a rock-stupid shellback like you be interested in complicated electronic gear like this? my dear fellow, -i needed to complete my trans-frequency flux oscillator. and you, i'm afraid, are in my way. whoa! whatever happened to the old, lovable, stupid-as-a-sea-slug slash? no use trying to hide, old chap. -your meager wits don't stand a chance against my super-intelligence. well, you may now be some kind of a brainiac, but-- but are your muscles still in shape? yaah! argh! whoa! -well, i guess that answers that. i've both brains and brawn, my dear fellow. if i've calculated the trigonometric angles correctly, you're about to be squashed. whoa! now, i'm afraid, we must end this little soirée. -i have much work to do. well, he's still as mean as ever. oh, some things never change. they sure don't build cars like they used to. i intend to be the supreme turtle in this town. -20 to the power of 9 plus a factor of 5 across stress plus minus 12 of gravity. whoa! uh-oh. i knew i should have worn a hard hat. uh-oh. -oh, wouldn't you know it, and i just had my shell waxed! one down and three to go. now, on to channel 6 for the equipment i'll need to complete my trans-frequency flux oscillator. donatello, where are you? does michelangelo like pizza? -now to make certain no one gets out or in. whom do you wish to see, sir? your broadcasting antenna on the roof. i'm sorry, but that's impossible. aah! -hey, buster, you can't come up here without a pass. my own invention, an immobilizer ray. hey, you're not allowed back here! as they express it so crudely on your primitive planet, chill out. aah! -aah! are you in there, donatello? whoa, dude. looks like somebody got the drop on you big time! yeah. -hard to believe it was slash! slash? you're dissin' us, right dude? you were beaten by the dumbest turtle this side of moe's pet shop? somehow he's turned into a super-genius. -all right. yeah, sure, right. hey, he said he was going to channel 6. you can see for yourselves. the story of the century is right under our noses. -uh, what story is that, chief? some kind of alien turtle is on the loose! i've done enough turtle stories for one day. from the looks of it, he's out to conquer the world, starting with channel 6! what? -he's here? in the building? yes, and we're going to get the exclusive story. there it is! what was that? -our dumb as a brick friend has used his super-intelligence to create an impenetrable force field! it only goes halfway up the building. maybe we could climb over it. yeah, it's worth a try. bingo! -we next add 1 pound sugar, a shake of nutmeg, 3 cups of lard, and a quart of chicken fat, and bring it all to a boil. then we-- eeh! run for your lives! -ha ha ha ha! these ridiculous earthlings. it takes so little to send them into a panic. soon, thanks to my intellectual genius, this entire city will be turtlized! and next, you add 3 cups of turtle food, then 5 cups of turtle food, then a dozen more cups of turtle food. -disaster was averted today when the turtle police rescued three citizens who had accidentally rolled over onto their backs. folks, i got to tell you, these plastic palm trees are going like hotcakes-- ouch! so call in now. weatherwise, it looks like it's gonna be an absolutely perfect day for sunning yourself out on a rock. and i shall be... the turtle supreme! -from here, you look more like a turkey supreme! okay, slash, your time is up. ah, my earthling enemies. you've arrived precisely on schedule. i calculated it to the nanosecond. -guys, i told you. he's changed. okay, so he sounds smart. but is he really smart? smart enough to have invented this little gadget. -whoa! whoa! whoa! look out! i'm beginning to see the light. -and now i shall destroy you utterly. whoa, now, whoa, whoa time out. easy, easy. let's, uh, let's discuss this. well, now that i have such an incredible vocabulary, discussing things is my strong point. -then answer us this. how did you get so smart all of a sudden? i was wondering when someone would ask me that. it happened while i was drifting through space... which was entirely your doing, i might add. i happened to crash land on this alien world... which turned out to be inhabited by a race of hyper-intelligent beings. -seeing that i was something of a...underachiever-- they took pity on me, and increased my intelligence beyond the wildest dreams of mere mortals, or even turtles. from that moment on, i became a turtle with a mission... to return to earth and become the number 1 supreme turtle by turtlizing the entire planet. and just how do you plan to do that? -by using my animalizer ray to turn every single human being on earth into a turtle. no way, dude. there's no such thing as an animalizer ray. that's why i used my super-intelligence genius to invent one. there's that creature. -get some footage of him. me? i can dream, can't i? huh? what's happening? -i knew i should have called in sick today! chief! you- you're a turtle. well, have you taken a good look at yourself lately? -i don't believe it. that animalizer gadget actually works. i've had enough of you, slash. you're giving a bad name to law-abiding turtles everywhere! and slash fights with brain power. -i think i liked that guy better when he was a blithering idiot. now, let's examine the situation logically. since i can't be supreme turtle with you four around, i'll just have to put you on ice. and the weatherman said it would be sunny and m-m-m-mild today! -oh! sorry to give you the cold shoulder, but i've got a world to turtlize. and i'll take my first two loyal subjects with me. uh, w-whatever you say, boss. hey, hey, hey! -i'm your boss. maybe so, but he's bigger than you are. ah, the new ultra-heterodyne antenna, just what i need to complete my trans-frequency flux oscillator, and turn everyone in the city into my turtle minions. if i didn't know better, -i'd say he's bent on world domination. he's bent all right, especially in the area of the brain. reverse polarity of the flux indicators, bridges passages at the audion sequencer transmismodifier... phew, being a genius is certainly hard on my neuron endings. where'd everybody go? -what happened? who did this to you? mmm! oh, sorry. i didn't realize you can't talk. -i'll get you out of there somehow. just keep cool. maybe we can tip this box over. good thinking. you push, i'll supervise. -oh, come on, chief, give me a hand. i-i mean, flipper. ooh, all right. we did it! let's get to that stairway. -hurry! hurry? i'm a turtle, remember? hang on, guys, i'll get you thawed out. -i have a feeling we're not going to make it. don't be ridiculous. of course we will. you go first. oh, chief, -i've fallen and i can't get up! all right, vernon, don't get your shell bent out of shape. come on, we've got to get help. almost there. ooh, thanks, april. -you're a warm and wonderful human being. hey, after all those times you've rescued me, it was the least i could do. now we've got to find out where slash has gone. he's on the roof! chief? -vernon? is that you? why, you're... talking turtles! that turtle freak friend of yours is doing something to the station's new antenna. -you've got to stop him. that thing cost me a fortune. i wonder what slash wants with a broadcasting antenna. i've got it. slash can't turn everyone in the city into a turtle with that little handheld animalizer ray of his, so he's going to amplify its power with the station's antenna. -come on, then. we've got to stop him. wait! you're not going to leave us here, are you? you've got to return us to normal. -you know, vernon, after the rotten things you said about turtles, we should just leave you that way. oh, oh, p-please. i'm sorry. i take back everything i've ever said to anyone about anything! -oh, all right. there. it's finished! and so are you, slash! arrivederci! -bonjour! adios! and sayonara! man, what a show-off. the dude makes an exit in four different languages. -look where he's heading. the tallest structure in the city. sure, he wants to get the maximum range out of his animalizer ray. i've got to get something from the lair. but what about us? -you've got to get us back to normal. keep your shell on, vernon, i'll get you fixed up. there. it's ready. now to turtlize this entire city. -you're the one who's gonna get turtlized, slash! by the teenage mutant ninja turtles. i suppose you consider that some sort of honor? whoa, hot stuff! whoo, cool it, already. -en garde, you hunk of junk! touchy, touchy. farewell, you ignoramuses-- or to be more grammatically correct, ignoramusi. donatello! all right, you've come to rescue us! -i brought this to dismantle the antenna, but i've got a better use for it. we're about to go bungee jumping without a rope, and you bring your dumbest invention of all time? that pizza-slicer was good for something after all. you might have saved your shells for the moment, but you can't stop me from turtlizing this city. you know, slash, you think you're so smart, but you're actually pretty stupid. -exactly what did you mean by that disparaging remark? you never thought of using your animalizer ray on us. you could set that thing to change us into humans, and then you'd be the only mutant turtle in town. hm, a most intelligent plan. i'm surprised i didn't think of it myself. -oh, i'm human again! i'm normal. human, yes. normal? no, no, no, no, no. -you tricked me! and here comes the treat! you've destroyed my animalizer. and now, i'll destroy you! annihilate, decimate, demolish, pulverize! -aah! aah! aah! hang on, compadres! cowabunga! -phew, everybody okay? we're all fine, but what about slash? come on, dude, upsy-daisy. tell me again about the turtles, george. i think that crash landing made him his old stupid self again. -come on, slash. we're gonna take you back to your spaceship. oh, goodie. i like riding in spaceships. he outsmarted slash and his alien super-intelligence. -yeah, but there's just one thing that's bugging me. nothing blew up. and this bugs you?

hey, otaki. i think only yakuza peels a man's nails off. you never know. there are weird people in the world. -i know, but no one hangs a dead body so obviously. i don't get it. you don't get it, huh? that guy was a loner from nagoya. really? -a loner? he was related to a union in sunadomari. which union? i'm searching now. so, it's some yakuza in sunadomari? -i think so, but he could be from nagoya, too. bye. otaki. isn't that phone call a police trick? boss. -kirino knows we did tomizawa already. they want us to fight and trip us up. typical trick for the police. i guess so. but we have to rely on kirino's information. -otherwise we have no clue about who attacked you. how shameless. if you want to kill me, you have to show your face. middleman of sakurada union daisuke hondo it was quite a long time. -well, appreciate your life. thank you very much. welcome back. you must be tired. i'm glad you look fine. -it's all because of mr. otaki. he took care of everything. you promised me to live normally from today. i paid off my debt to boss by going to jail. i don't have to be wonted about you anymore, right?

(laughing) sorry, lovejoy. we're just plain humble st. jude's, not westminster abbey, but... -i can offer you a cup of tea. let's get the sign up. come on. hey, steve, you got the hammer? i say! -you men there! what the blue blazes do you think you're doing? ! whatever it looks like we're doing, reverend. you're jumping the gun! -you're two weeks early. you still don't have planning permission. i'm getting onto the council right away. you can get onto the holy ghost as far as i'm concerned but this is still going up and you're trespassing, so hop it! cheek of the man! -what's going on? damn council, all but given permission to put a beastly leisure center up. disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful! why didn't alexander do anything about it when i asked him, janey? because there was nothing he could do. -this place has been a field since roman times. kids play in it, we hold the village féte in it, not to mention the donkey derby, and now these beggars are going to dig it up and ruin one of the finest roman remains this country has and plonk down ghastly squash courts and saunas... if they've got any leisure, let them come to church, that's what i say. there's no proof about any remains, even alexander said it's only hearsay. -what proof do they need? all they have to do is dig it up. hold on. what's all this about roman remains? come over here. -henty. the only remains buried here are his legs. that's all they ever found after he'd been hit by a boer cannonball. what's he got to do with the field? he was vicar here for six years. -he was also chaplain to the local militia. used to spend his free time with a bad-tempered drunken sextant called rudge digging up anything that looked ancient. now, he and rudge dug up part of the field and uncovered a beautiful roman mosaic which henty claimed was part of a roman palace. he had rudge cover it with sand and promised to excavate it properly when he came home. and only two feet of him ever did. -lovejoy! how do you know about the mosaic? henty wrote a book about it, one of those vanity publication things. then all you've got to do is take the book to the council, they'll have to investigate. trouble is, lovejoy, i don't have the book. -my late wife, god bless her, put it in a bring-and-buy years ago. i need a fairly largish malted milk. (groans) this is damn rubbish. just look at it! -most of it's lumber. i wouldn't give it house room. where's your quality stuff? i was told you dealt in four-figure antiques. i wouldn't give some of this stuff three naughts and a one. -it might help if i knew what you were looking for, mr. um... rosenbaum. i'm looking for a golden wedding anniversary present for my wife, she's a very discerning woman, is my wife. i must have something of great quality, something to surprise, amaze and amuse her. well, how about this three-leaf french painted screen? -it's only just come in. it's arcadian landscapes painted by an artist with an incredible eye for detail. i don't want a painted screen, we've got a castle full of painted screens, we're falling over painted screens! oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. i must have been wrongly advised. -this is lovejoy's establishment, is it not? and partner. lovejoy and catchpole. well, that's me. i'm the catchpole in the equation. -(groans) he had alexander chasing the chief planning officer for weeks. there was nothing on that site that would warrant any kind of investiga... lovejoy. hm? -will you stop that, please? i'm just checking if he has any more surplus god kit, as he calls it. (dog barks) ah. i bet you've never had malted milk like this before, janey. -say when. oh, i'll just have the milk part. ah, mm. never like this when i was a kid. (dog barks) -oh, yes. i know. i've forgotten something, haven't i? yes, yes. all right, come on. -waldorf, savoy. come on, come on, come on. you got me into this, toots. we're witnessing something that happens with increasing rarity. the reverend nettles has just placed on the floor what appears to be a 300-year-old slipware dish full of dog food. -if it's genuine it could be worth thousands of pounds which he's not aware of, because it's probably been in his family for so long he believes it has little or no value. what does this tell us? it tells us that just because an object's familiar doesn't mean to say it's worthless. alternatively, under the circumstances, perhaps god, in his infinite wisdom, put it here for me to find and i've found it. look, if you're hungry i could probably rustle you up a sandwich or something. -do you know what this is? doggy crunches. no. no, no. the dish. -the dish! oh! the dogs' bowl? been in the family for absolute yonks. always feed the animals off it. -do you know what it's worth? worth? if it's genuine, it could be worth thousands. if it's genuine? are you a gambling man, lovejoy? -yes, he is. depends. look, i've tried everything else. i'll wager that you can't get the council to dig up the field and prove if there are remains of a roman palace and a mosaic down there. i never tangle with the kind of people you get down at the town hall. -but - if i lose the bet, and you pull it off... you get to keep it, which as you expertly point out, could well be worth thousands. lead me not into temptation, harry. this is not just a clock, mr. rosen-bum. this happens to be an 18th-century walnut eight-day longcase. with satinwood marquetry and a very finely engraved face, with flower baskets and garlands, made by edward martin of dover, and valued at a very reasonable price of... -does it work? work? of course it works. it works as well as the day it was made. let me hear it. -i'd like to check the rhythm. the rhythm is far more important than the clock. (ticking softly) perfect. oh, that is a precise tick-tocking movement if ever there was one. -do you hear it, mr. catchpole? it's like a virgin's heart when she meets her prince. (chuckling) what's the date? 1780. -i mean today's date. oh... er, the 15th. splendid. who shall i make it to? -don't you think you ought to hear the price? it's rather a lot of money, mr. rowsen-bum. rosenbaum. i asked you who i should make it to. um... cash. -cash? and how much is it? 8,000? eight thousand pounds. now, i can't be bothered with deposits, so i will leave it for the full amount. -there you are. don't cash it for seven days, that will give me time to get the money transferred from jersey. is all that clear? very clear, mr. rosenbaum. one more thing. -you do deliver, don't you? oh, yes. we'll even gift-wrap it. (both laugh) yeah, that's a good idea. -don't forget - seven days. oh, and put a sold sticker on it, there's a good chap. certainly, mr. rosenbaum. (laughs) yes! you can do it, lovejoy! -(barking) waldorf, savoy! stop doing that! you know, janey... i, er, feel a bit guilty about this. -it's never made any difference before. what do you think it is? i don't know. candelabra? no, no... -(clattering) don't put those on there! (loud clattering) where on earth did you get it from? well, from someone who found it under a eucalyptus tree in corsica. -don't tell me. you're going to the doctor's? wrong. got clean knickers on as well, haven't you? no. -well, yes... no, but seeing as i've just rescued this ailing enterprise from almost certain bankruptcy and put it back on its feet with a firm, fiscal base, i'm gonna take the day off, all right? what you're actually trying to tell me, eric, is that you've knocked something out to a punter and you're very pleased about it. well, i don't blame you. -and i think i know what it is. it's the george iv nipple shield, isn't it? ha ha ha! ta-da! really? -oh, no. i'm holding on to this one. all right, suit yourself. combien, eric? eight grand. -eight grand cash! oh, my baby, my baby, i love you, i love you. very good, eric. why haven't you been down the bank and brought it back in a brown paper bag? what? -i wanted to show it to you. don't show it to me. concentrate on the date, eric. i guarantee that that check is a full deposit to be cashed in a week or ten days' time. right? -well, a week, actually. right. now i suggest you hop on your bike, go home and change. now, lovejoy, i promised! i've accepted this man's check and in law, that constitutes a legal contract. -good luck! are you trying to tell me this check's worthless? no, no, no. what i was trying to say was, sometimes people have a habit of changing their minds at the last minute. morning, lovejoy! -morning, eric! oh! going to the doctor's, are we? we've done that one. oh. -now, if this is genuine... oh, yes. vicar of st. jude's. i've got it on a lease-lend-could-eventually-be-mine basis. oh, could-definitely-be-yours basis. -smoke your nose. eh? you don't know what it means, do you? well, no. when this was made, income tax hadn't been invented, so charles ii came up with this wicked wheeze to fleece his subjects called the hearth tax. -cost you a couple of bob a year for every fireplace you had. this is a 17th-century satire. it's thomas toft's way of saying "up yours" to the taxman. how does he know these things, eric? i once shared a flat with a potter who was heavily into slipware. -well, gather round, girls. the hot antique item of the week is a small tome - that's still a book to you, eric - entitled archaeological digging around kinley by the reverend john henty. exciting, isn't it, tink? but if either of you come up with a copy within a week, not only do we get to keep the dish, there's also the bonus of a four-course lunch on my account at the black horse. oh dear. -tinker's barred from the black horse. well, it's just you and me, then, eric. (jane) why didn't nicholas think of the british library reading room? my experience with libraries is that the book i want is always out. not here, they've got over ten million of 'em. -do you want to bet? they've got a copy of practically every book ever printed in the uk. you wouldn't find henty's book in the mobile library, you know. (inhales) and the vibes in here - incredible! why? -does the underground run underneath? don't be such a philistine. some of the greatest literary geniuses of all time have worked here. thomas hardy, charles dickens, george bernard shaw. look, come here. -ah. see here. do you know who sat here? karl marx. where did chico and harpo sit? -archaeological digging around kinley by the reverend john henty. is it you who ordered it? that's us. terribly sorry, it's not available. what did i tell you? -it's out, isn't it? has to be out. we're not a lending library. can't take the books from here, they're for reference only. i'm sorry. -ah! you mean it's here. someone got here before us. according to my records, it's being copied. who's copying it? -i'm sorry, i'm not at liberty to tell you that. can't take long to copy. when's it due back? it won't be available for at least one week. a week? -! shh! it would take an hour at the post office. look, we've come all the way from east anglia, are you sure you can't tell us who's asked for it to be copied? i'm very sorry. -it doesn't say. all it says it's an academic request. what does that mean? it means exactly what it says. sorry. -your journey seems to have been wasted. know any academics? all the ones i know have been cured. where did you get it from? what's its provenance? -belongs to the local vicar. reverend harry nettles. claims it's been in his family for yonks. they use it as a dog bowl would you believe? yes, i would. -you have to be very careful with these things nowadays. there's a man in yorkshire called john hudson who makes them. quite remarkable to behold. is it a copy? i'm sure it's right, but i want to make a comparison before i commit myself. -ralph, can i ask... julian! fetch in catherine of braganza. there's another one, you know, in the stoke-on-trent city museum. i didn't know that. -how would? thank you, julian. that's catherine of braganza? i never would have recognized her. i don't think charles ii would have either. -i rather like the rakish angle of her crown. toft appears to have struck it on as a kind of afterthought. we believe she came from a collection of dishes from chirk castle in wales earlier this century. we actually auctioned them in 1937. how much is the smoke your nose worth? -well, considering it's not totally unique... i'd put a reserve of ten on it. would you run that past me again? a 10,000 reserve. would you now? -and catherine? hard to say. i'll tell you what, lovejoy. why don't you get your vicar chappie to pop his smoker in with catherine and we'll stick a free color picture in the catalog. the sale's in may. -what do you say? ah, it's not as simple as that. it's more complicated, ralph. what do you think this is? no idea. -have you tried ironmongery? ah, well. suppose we'd better get cleaned up. what for? oh, i didn't tell you. -i thought maybe covent garden, then a nice dinner. drink maybe a little too much wine. then back to a hotel for a nightcap, best offer you'll have all day. why are you saying this, lovejoy? you know i can't do that. -well, why not? alex is away again. what are you gonna do? go home? wash your hair? -clean out a drawer? that's unkind! look, janey, now we're here, why don't you just take a deep breath and say, "yes"? you've ambushed me, it's not fair. i can't say yes just like that. -you know i can't. i have to think about it first. there are serious implications. like us being together? like you enjoying yourself? -look, i'm sorry, lovejoy. i really ought to get back. you made your mind up? yes. you sure? -yes. drive you home. thank you. you know who i'm talking about rachel. -she's got frizzy hair and a tattoo of king kong on her bum. the frizzy hair doesn't ring a bell. used to have a stall in the market. wednesdays and saturdays. bric-a-brac. -you'd know her if you saw her. depends which bit. don't think i would, rollo. nice clock. ah, it's sold. -go on. well, she gets herself a lockup in harry's antique market. does a runner, doesn't she? are you sure this clock's sold? eric says it's sold, it's sold. -how much? eight, nine? yeah, around there. harry's got a private dick after her. says he's gonna sue her. -i would have gone to nine, eric. well, funnily enough, rollo, i haven't cashed the punter's check. that's handy. 50s do you? rollo, it's sold! the punter's paid a full cash deposit, that's the way it is. -the punter might change his mind... you entered into a legally binding contract! i'm sorry, rollo. let me see the stuff. (phone ringing) -they're worth 80 each, i'll take two for the lot. two? oh, come on. tinker'll smell these at 50 paces. all right, then. -one and a half? you can have that captain's chair. the captain's chair! done! it's tink. -ok. if you change your mind about the clock, nine grand. (lovejoy) it's sold, rollo! lovejoy, nine grand! we'd be one grand up on the deal. -hold on. shh! yes, tink. i couldn't come up with a copy of henty's book either. i might just have found the next best thing. -the silk suit over there is derek rudge. municipal grave digger... and late sextant of st. jude's. he's also the great-great-grandson of that rudge that dug up half the county with henty, and just still might have a copy of aforesaid book. you're a class act, tink. -derek! this is the lovejoy i was telling you about. pleased to meet you, derek. pleasure's mine. tinker tells me you're interested in my great-great-grandaddy. -what's a totter interested in him for, i ask myself. (crunch) that's deep enough, malcolm. (creaking) gently does it. -erm, could we go somewhere else and maybe find ourselves a large one? i wouldn't mind sharing a bottle of liebfraumilch with you. that would go down a treat. derek, do you know anything of a story about your grandfather helping a reverend henty of st. jude's to dig up archaeological sites and a book written about it? yeah, i know all about that. -old grandad rudge and henty dug up half the county. we rudges have buried half the county as well. wouldn't still happen to have a copy of that book? wish i had a tenner for every bugger who asked me that question. the answer's no. -got thrown on a guy fawkes bonfire by mistake years ago. have you ever seen a copy? i did. when i were a boy. and? -that's it. does the field next to st. jude's mean anything to you? only that they're going to build a leisure center on it. about time too. there's nothing for the poor buggers around here to do at all. -ah! that's all. (chuckles) i know what all this is about. you been talking to old nettles, ain't you? -that old soak. the walking distillery. he'll try anything to get that leisure center stopped. there ain't nothin' in that field apart from cowshit, and he knows it. what do you mean? -your old famous roman villa with the mosaic floor he keeps on about, the one that henty and my grandaddy found. it were nowhere near that field, it were miles away. was it? you know the council estate in kiverton? sort of. -well, they built it slap bang on top of your roman villa, didn't they? i remember it being built but i don't remember a roman villa. well, you wouldn't. it were all hushed up. terrible embarrassment all round. -contractors bulldozed the whole lot into the brook at the back. if you still know where to poke about, you can find bits of those small mosaic tiles. go on, then! get off! hang on! -i ain't it! used to be tons of the stuff up here when i was a kid. used to pick it up by the sackload. here we are. genuine... -roman... remains. that's mosaic. looks like licorice allsorts to me. you can dig all you want in that church field. this is where it was and that is where it isn't. -came across this the other day. thought you might be interested. here. tell you what. hundred quid the lot. -fifty? (chuckles) twenty-five? (lovejoy laughing) so he dug around in the bank a bit and then came up with these. -what are they? according to derek rudge, pieces of the original mosaic. well, if that's the gospel according to st. derek, that puts its authorship seriously in question. the only way those bits of mosaic could have got there is if derek put them there. well, he sounded pretty convincing to me. -he would, wouldn't he? he's a very low flier is derek. low flier - liar. i learned that when i was in london. whole wretched family are the same. -his great-great-grandfather was suspected of being in league with body snatchers. well, i've got no ax to grind with derek rudge. i just thought he might have a copy of the book. can't even read. did he tell you why i gave him the bullet? -no. well, he wouldn't, would he? because, my dear lovejoy, about six months ago, the local constabulary raided a scrapyard down the road, looking for a stolen car. out of luck as far as the car was concerned, but do you know what they found? go on. -couple of sackfuls of lead coffin plates and bronze coffin handles. previously the property of dear departed of this parish. out of my churchyard, would you believe? so, i had rudge open up the graves, put the stuff back where it belonged, then i sacked him. there's a roman villa or palace or something out there. -i know it, rudge knows it. no one will listen, not even you. you can't hack it, lovejoy. bring waldorf's dish back, the wager's off. it's worth £10,000, harry. -good, i'll tell the dogs that. hello! nancy phelan? yeah. lovejoy. -pleased to meet you. pleased to meet you. look, i told you on the phone there was nothing more i could do. i'm really up against it here, i'm sorry. i have to have all this logged by next thursday. -all i wanna know is why you haven't dug an exploratory trench at the leisure center site at kinley. nettles has put you up to this, hasn't he? for a vicar, he's a real headbanger. well, i think he has a right to know. right to know what? -why you and the council haven't investigated his claim that there could be a roman villa there. look, mr. lovejoy. let me just explain one thing to you. i only have a veto over planning permission if i believe beyond archaeological and scientific doubt that a proposed building site covers important remains. the kinley site's worth a shot, though, isn't it? -come up to the office with me, and i will prove to you why i have absolutely no reason to believe your vicar. then you can take the message back to him and tell him to stop pestering me and the planning department once and for all. (nancy) 205. there we go. cromwellian helmet neck protector. -well, roman it isn't, mr. lovejoy. let's try a bit closer. 669. (tapping keys) there we go. brass spade guinea. -(chuckles) well, that is george iii, not antonius pius. would you like to try your luck? all this proves is that nobody's ever looked in that field. (car pulling up) that's my husband. -excuse me, please. the reverend john henty. you see, mr. lovejoy, even if i was convinced, which i am not, to put a trench across that field would cost about £450, that is if the owners would let us, and we just don't have that money. me, i would excavate every building site going, but times are lean, mr. lovejoy - museums and heritage come pretty low on the totem pole nowadays. who the hell's that? -(she chuckles) that is a medieval monk. i have another 36 of them, and they all need a christian burial. hey, now, just a moment. the council's gonna shell out for 37 coffins, and you can't afford 450 quid to dig a trench? -37 black bin liners, actually. well, thank you very much for your time. you're welcome. oh, nancy, by the way, do you know what these are? i think they're bits of roman mosaic. -well, i don't know about roman, but it's definitely italian. it's terrazzo. you can buy that sort of thing at the italian marble shop in bury st. edmunds. you don't say. do you know what this is? -oh, my goodness. no. do you? wonder what the planning office will have to say about this? (eric grunting and panting) -oh, there's the tall chest of drawers. why is she lying about the site, janey? and the book was in a british library envelope right on top of her mail. maybe she hadn't had time to look at it. well, you said yourself she was up to her eyeballs. -anyway, how can you be so sure that it was in the field next to the church? when it comes to map reading, you're not exactly marco polo. found our way back from london all right the other night, didn't i? oh, i'm sorry about all that. oh, no, no, no. -please don't apologize, janey, i got a takeaway kebab which kept me up half the night, but then marcus green came round and i got a couple of goya etchings off him. very cheap. perhaps you'd like to see them. mmm. upstairs, either side of the bed. -nancy phelan fobbed me off. she knows there's a villa on that site. you said yourself - alex told you that leisure company has a board of professional directors to hide the true owners' identities, right? that happens all the time. i think you're reading too much into this, lovejoy. -but what about derek rudge's roman mosaic that you can buy in bury st. edmonds? you're really intent on building this whole thing into some grand conspiracy, aren't you? what next? an assassination? i'll prove it to you. -show you the book. oh, i say, this is rather good, the clock. sold. that's a pity. i've got 9,500 for a good clock. -try again at the end of the week. place'll be finished by then. where is it? where the hell is it? what are you looking for? -you didn't steal that book, did you? me, steal? would i jeopardize a deal by stealing, janey? eric! i borrow, i intend to return. -eric! what? ! have you seen an envelope with the british library written on it? er... -oh, that brown one that was with the bills you wanted me to post? yeah, probably. the one that wasn't addressed to us? wasn't it? the one addressed to the archaeological unit? -yeah, that's it. where is it? well, i put it in the post. you did what? i posted it back. -you what? i posted it back! you posted it back? yes, i posted it back! and why did you post it back? -because it wasn't addressed to us! what's that got to do with it? what am i supposed to have done now? oh, what you usually do... you prat! well done, eric. -you're brilliant. it wasn't addressed to us! (growls) anything else, jane? no, that's the lot from here. -there is the clock, of course. i'm still short of a clock. (eric) well, rosenbaum's only got two days. haven't heard from him for five. but you're still holding his check, aren't you? -oh, yes, i'm still holding his check, and i'll still be holding it this time next year, if you ask me! i don't think tearing your assistant slowly limb from limb is something i could possibly condone, lovejoy. wilfred! look at him. his arms nearly coming out of their sockets. -not supposed to dabble with this sort of stuff. fear of the wrath of god and that kind of thing. could always just be water, you know. water be blown. they're roman walls. -then again, you could be right. could... could be a bath, roman bath. it's worth a lot of money. i'll bung it in the safe. -wilfred! do you think it could be water? a roman bath? have you tried the '57 latour, mr. catchpole? it has a little more body than your lafite. -er, not that i recall, no. oh, you would remember if you had. it's quite an organoleptic experience. oh, i'm sure it must have been, mr... hello, lovejoy. -this is mr. rosenbaum. oh. i'm very pleased to meet you, lovejoy. your partner here has been entertaining me with a bottle of your excellent lafite. has he now? -well, i hope it's to your liking. yeah, well, mr. rosenbaum popped by to say that we can cash his check in two days and so would we deliver the clock, so i... oh, of course we will, mr. rosenbaum. thank you. well, i must dash. -i'll call you with the address. and you won't forget the gift-wrapping, will you? oh, no, we won't, mr. rosenbaum. yes... yes. -yes? no. well, that's par for the course, isn't it? you've entertained mr. rosenbaum with about, what... ooh, about 75 quid's worth of my chateau lafite, i've also had to give back the plate to nettles because of you, eric. -well, we might as well finish this off, mightn't we? eric. what are you doing, lovejoy? even the condemned man is allowed a last drink, eric. it's crap! -i've never tasted anything like it in my life. it tastes all right to me. oh, it would. a palate to you is something you stack bricks on. we've been shafted, eric. -tastes all right to me. oh, rollo. eric here may not be antique roadshow material but wine he does know. don't you, eric? yeah, that's right. -and the nearest that's been to lafite is being strained through a sock. i got it off dr. moss, and he's a connoisseur. and he's a lush and a charlatan, and i want my chair back. i've taken a deposit for it. no kidding, rollo. -hang about. you can have that instead. ooh, you've had these cleaned up. last time i saw these, derek rudge had them on offer for 25 quid. you know where these come from, don't you? -you wanna be careful, rollo, you could end up with the black death. lovejoy, if derek's deal goes down, he'll be able to buy and sell us. what deal is this? the leisure center. in the field next to the church? -sure. it's his, it was left to him in a will. his company's applied for planning permission, and if he gets it, he's gonna flog it to a developer for a mint. you're sure about this? as sure as my arse points downwards. -thank you, rollo. enjoy the wine and enjoy the chair. eh? bye, rollo! bye, rachel. -(gasps) yeah, bye. i didn't think you knew her. king kong's a dead giveaway, eric. looks like the game's up, lovejoy. -they don't waste much time, do they? all this lot and they haven't even got planning permission yet. string's not run out yet, harry. i think we should call their bluff. with what? -37 medieval monks. sorry? having trouble with wax. what did you say? she has to give the mortal remains of 37 medieval monks a christian burial. -ah. so how much would you charge? 450 quid? more? easily that. -there you are, then. claims her department's skint, so you bury the monks baksheesh, she digs a trench across the field. can't say fairer than that, can you? can't be fairer than that, can we? i can give them a very good spot near the wall. -it's very kind of you to offer, reverend, but we've been through all this before. look, i'm terribly sorry, but i can't recommend that conditions be placed on the planning permission. the rev'll pick up the tab for the monks, the trench'll be for free. changes nothing. i think you're making a very big mistake, mrs. phelan. -try over to the left, antonia. have you ever requested a copy of a book by the reverend henty from the british library? no. why should i? the penalty for a bribe can be pretty severe, you know, nancy. -how dare you? what are you implying? now, mrs. phelan, i'm sure lovejoy didn't mean it. i know exactly what he meant. sorry, diplomacy was never my strong suit. -the reverend nettles and mr. lovejoy require escorting from this site, and are never to be allowed back here again under any circumstances. vincent! you know, lovejoy, i have a feeling i've seen that young woman somewhere before but i just can't place her. annoying, isn't it? i don't think she'd be one of your flock with a name like phelan. -no, i suppose not. by the way, i had a from with a charming young man called ralph, from sotheby's. oh, no. wanted to know if you had any claim on my smoke-your-nose dish, asked if i was willing to enter it into his sale. -you didn't, did you? no fear. planning committee meeting's not until this afternoon, and as you say, lovejoy, string's not run out yet. got it! of course. -now i know who she is. i never forget a face. i remember that young woman when she was in her teens, she was engaged to be married to derek rudge. you're kidding. banns read out in church, wedding dress made and paid for, reception laid on, two days before the ceremony dear old derek jilted her. -and this is his payoff to her. yes. he gets his planning permission, she gets a nice fat reward at the end of the day. how corrupt can you get? you know, lovejoy, there's an old egyptian saying about corruption. -is there? camel get nose in tent... body soon follows. afternoon, jane. afternoon, lovejoy. everything agreed? -sure is. tinker's gonna ask a very searching question. let's get going, then. i don't want to miss a second of this. i'd start striking camp if i were you, boys! -it'll be all over soon! it's all right, lovejoy, i can manage. you're driving. go on, then, read it out to me. it's not the eve of agincourt speech, lovejoy, -i don't have to read it out, i can remember it. what was his name again? rudge. derek rudge. is the committee aware of the nature of the relationship between mr. rudge, the site owner, and mrs. phelan, the county archaeologist? -very good, tink. now... ok, harry. ask the question when i nod. right? -right. (man)... that we move to an approval. shall we vote, gentlemen? carried. now, we'll move on to application 386, the proposed leisure center in the church field in kinley. -now, we have a fairly lengthy officer's report in this application, we've had a number of objections, but as the officer clearly states, he sees no reason why planning permission should not be granted. so, i suggest to move as the officer recommends. so shall we vote, gentlemen, please? e-excuse me, er, mr. chairman, sir. i'd like to ask the committee a question before the voting starts. -yes. what is it? is... is the committee aware of the nature... of the relation... ship... i'm terribly sorry about this rather eleventh-hour approach, gentlemen, but very important information regarding the remains of a roman villa on this particular site has come to light. -(quiet chatter) now, if you'll all turn to page five, you will clearly see that there is evidence of an extensive mosaic. what do you mean, mosaic? i'll give you a bloody mosaic! in the light of this new archaeological evidence, -i move that the officer's recommendation must be refused. in that case, i move for a refusal. excuse me. you took him right to the wire, didn't you, nancy? i wanted him to feel that jaguar steering wheel in his hands before pulling the plug. -public justice, eh? tell me, why the rush? didn't you hear what he said? we've got to stop him. no! -no, i... no, no, no, i insist... now... no, i... oh, very well. -yes, yes, yes. yes. come along, lovejoy, we haven't got all day! no, no. no room! -no room! come on, tink. i'm not getting on that. derek! stop it, for god's sake, derek! -(derek) up yours, nancy! stop it! you wanna see the most beautiful mosaic the world has ever seen? well, take a good look, cos it's coming out of this hole like a jigsaw puzzle! if there is a villa there, derek, you're in the pound seats. -get stuffed! ever heard of fishbourne, derek? eighty thousand visitors a year at two quid a head. never again, eric! never again! -you moron! derek, i beg you, look, i could have stopped you weeks ago. it's too late, nancy! i want you here controlling the operation. filling in the bloody forms. -completing the necessary paperwork and make sure they go easy on the overtime. with that blasted helicopter and so on i'm bursting the budget as it is. i'll try not to let them take advantage of me, sir. advantage is only taken when it's allowed to be taken. -you can tell them that i shall personally be checking the figures. yes, sir. now how's young barnard shaping up? he'll do. -don't teach him too many shortcuts. all right, let's have some attention. thank you. that's enough of the old moody.. if you think you're going to get it any easier you're mistaken. -give us a kiss sir.. hey. sorry guv. okay, fill me in. what sightings do we have? -fifteen. but only one of them sounds promising. it's a bloke in a car. he's pretty certain he saw her walking away from st. mark's with a man and a woman. now the woman was wearing a white fur coat, a bit flashy. -that's what made him notice. (unintelligible) it doesn't open till seven. alright, i'll do that. what about sick mick -no guv. we'll try the public library. it's nice and warm in there. he's trying to educate himself. that's two quid you owe me. -hey no, come on, a pound we said. a pound for the game, a pound for the information. all right. i'll tell you what i'll do. double or nothing, heads or tails. -tails. sorry about that son. no point in frightening the poor little darlings by going in mob handed. where to? oh yes, we go too... -oh damn, that stupid washing machine. 108 randlee road. what's at 108 randlee road. a 14-year old by the name of mary louise harding. tracy's got a thing about her apparently. -thinks she's the bees knees. and according to top spin charlie back there, mary louise's mom has got a white fur coat. that poor woman, my heart bleeds for her. if anything happened to mary louise -i think i'd kill myself. you will excuse me getting on, won't you? it's all area finals on friday. haven't seen you come dancing, have i? similar, very similar. -stop looking so dreary darling. that's a good girl. well the lord knows i don't get much pleasure since her father took to the continent. he's in heavy vehicles, you know. seldom where he should be, which is why i'm partnered by my second cousin leslie. -ha. keep in mind i'll wash your mouth out oh that reminds me, no chance of a cuppa? but of course. tea or coffee. -oh coffee, we go down a treat. that's a good girl mary louise. thank you. use the bolivian and the cups, not those dreadful mugs. and it was leslie you were with all yesterday afternoon was it? -that's right, practicing over at bishop stordford. on second thought i think i prefer tea. that's all right. you stay, i'll tell her. you borrowed your mother's coat, didn't you? -how'd you know? by the look on your face. so. so, why didn't you tell us that you seen tracy last night? why do you think? -because your mother would give you stick over the coat. well done. now you listen to me my girl. there's a little kid out there who could be dead. so loosen your lip and you tell me what happened now. -she's always hanging round me, like a little sister or something. i mean it gets on my nerves. i had a date with this bloke. he's older than me. -a quite bit older actually. so that's why i borrowed the rotten coat and some of her under clothes as well if you must know. anyway, we were walking past the church. she's standing there, tracy is. she wants to know where we're going. -so i say to her, none of yours. we look around and she's following us. well, he got really short and he started blaming me, but what could i do? she's always doing that, following me around. anyway, finally we managed to get rid of her. -i didn't see her anymore. whereabouts was this? near the old woods. well, now we know, don't we. done that, done that, wash mash, washing machine. -remind me to ring him first thing in the morning. oh, this is it. get on to hq and find out what percentage the crime figures are up. sort out last month's return, add whatever they tell you and bung it in for this month. it's all right. -i'll sign it. i'm the one carrying the can. they only shove it onto their bloody computer anyway. when you've done that pick me up in the canteen. you won the george cross then? -i mean i knew someone from this division had. well, how often does a copper win the george -- it's all right son. no need to get embarrassed. you're not the only one who can't believe it. -it's me for a start. you got shot didn't you? twice. once in the chest, which was very nasty and once in the head. luckily, it went straight through my brain so it didn't do any damage. -oh yes, i'm famous now. every time i get mentioned in the paper, like local detective solves up court case. they put a little footnote in about my medal. why do you think your uncle loves me so much? -i did most of my courting in these woods. i lost my cherry here come to think about it. under a crabapple tree with the vague assistance of a young lady called bell parkinson. we used her mac, her being in the salvation army. where does this lead? -to the quarry. well at first light i want it searched. get it organized for me arthur. come on son, bring it with you. oh arthur. -yes, jack. get a wpc to meet me at mrs. uphill's will you. i sewed her name in, for school it didn't stay on five minutes. i wish i had something better to tell you linda love, but -- -i know. i know. here i've got your fags. look, i think it might be a good idea if i ask the wpc here to stay the night with you. no. -i've been alone since i was 15. i'll be all right, i promise you. alright. you just, you just have to believe the best, don't you? george told us to tell you he's checked out mary louise's boyfriend, -philip carey. he's her mother's ex-dancing partner would you believe? i would, i would. he was sweating, but george is pretty sure he's in the clear. he was back with mamma ten minutes after dropping off mary louise. -all right, thanks. no good you said. no, no, it's been bad. she's been saying something about someone called billy. yeah, that's me, billy, bill, william. -she was always insisted on calling me by my right name. something about a holiday. yeah. we were supposed to be going to see her sister. she lives in america, a place called johnstown. -i'll make you a cup of tea before i go. thank you. jack, i don't think it's going to be long. there you go. thanks. -you wouldn't fancy a cup of coffee i suppose? i don't think your landlady would approve. no. i don't have a landlady. morning guv. -what time do you call this? quarter to eight. overslept did we. well, no, but we didn't finish till late. we're not finished till it's finished constable, besides i get lonely. -taste that. i think the milk's off. i had a fag last night, only one but i'm not pleased with myself. now what's this, check auntie, what's that mean? farnhan, he said he was with his aunt. -right. okay here you are. you take the car and go be nice to auntie. then i want you to come and meet me in the woods. now there's an offer, right? -did you bring your boots? no, of course, you didn't. see if you can get hold of some, come on. well, i can't see us covering in less than two days, but which time even if she just did wander off, she'll be in bird's eye country. old annies place there, did you check that out? -yes, yesterday. there's nothing there but her bloody cats. she must have been out collecting more of them. what a dump. i was told this is a vip suite. -morning gents. anything for me? sorry stanley, i'm not allowed to talk to members of the press. strict instructions from oberleutnant mullett. see you got the divers out. -can't put anything past him can you? he's got the eye of an eagle. well, now i've taken the trouble to come, i hope she's in there. i see the green party's been having a picnic again. -they found the same (unintelligible) trolley at mulliger airport last year. makes you wonder, doesn't it gents. i'm off. george, keep in touch. okay guv. -spot on son. you must be psychic. don't get out. you'll get your nice suit all dirty. seen auntie. -he was there when he says he was. he's so good to me she said. he never misses a week and he's always starving when he gets here. cross him off, you reckon. yeah, i reckon. -ah, never much of a contender anyway. off we go. where to? oh, back to the ranch. hang on. -let's go have a word with annie. why you ask? how many more times annie because she's gone missing. no. you didn't see her, right. -fine, that's all we need to now. why for you not stop and then come here all the time. why you say children are so special? it's special for to come to my house and calling me name. it's special for to throw stones, for to hurt god's creatures. -were any of the others here on sunday? children and a simple yes or no will do. i don't want a bloody lecture. not children. give me pound. -give her a pound son. what for? cat meat. she's as nutty as a fruit cake and the state of that kitchen. it's covered in rotten cat hair. -i keep telling you about that suit. we've got micky hoskins guv. you were quite right. he was in the library under unusual interests. anyway, we had a chat. -you're going to love this. he says he couldn't have been molesting the girl there in denton on sunday afternoon because he was molesting a girl at the century cinema over at lexton. i phoned the local police and it checks. they got a complaint logged at half of five. (unintelligible) -.. jack, telephone, urgent. all right, thanks. just what we bloody well need. all right. let's have a look at the rest of it. -don't stand there gawking. you're supposed to be looking for a little kid. come on officer. hey, come on now. get on with it. -the doctor's on his way sir. the doctor. oh yes, we're not supposed to presume death are we. arthur, get his chest uncovered in case our medical genius wants to use the stethoscope. who's in charge here? -ah, jack. i might have guessed. hello. how did you find a body on a day like this? might have picked a day the sun was shining. -let's have a look. you called me a bit late i'm afraid. an hour earlier i could have saved him. i know, i tried to give him the kiss of life, but he stuck his fingers up my nose. all right, come on then doc, time of death. -well, your guess is as good as mine. years, 10, 20, perhaps even longer. you need to show it to the forensic boys. half an arm and a rusty chain, they'll love it. i must leave you. -i'll let you have my report. report, what report? you haven't done anything. you want the pathologist. it looks like rain. -anyway he's paid more than i am. bye. bye. jack. yes. -were there any plane crashes in this area during the war? i have no idea, why? well, it looks to me the sort of box they used for confidential dispatches, you know, chained to the courier's wrist. i wonder if he might have been thrown out of a plane blowing up or something. could be worth checking. -why not? i have nothing else to do. hello. hello. mrs. uphill. -yes. if you want to see your daughter again, get 2,000 pounds in used notes and wait by your phone for instructions. one word to the police and she's dead. nothing spectacular i'm afraid. everything rottable had rotted. -all we're left with is the metal objects. the zipper from his trousers, a couple of buttons and here's what's left of his watch, wristwatch, cheap pallet movement. nothing of particular interest. a few coins. dated when? -the latest is this two shilling piece, 1961. well, bang goes your theory clive. i'm sorry. constable had an idea that he might have been killed during the war. oh, i see. -what about these? two small desk keys. don't know what this larger one is, presumably a house key, but no number i'm afraid. only it's in surprisingly good condition as you can see. but no car key. -none found anyway. and what are these? the remains of tacks from his shoes. i see, right. well, you've given us our starters. -now what about the main course? what? the box. oh, the box. yes, well we managed to get it open. -and? absolutely empty. mr. garwood said he'd be with you in just a moment. there is a no smoking sign actually, sorry. mrs. uphill, do come through. -you must be worried sick. i'm so sorry. i need some money. yes, yes of course. 2,000 pounds. -but linda, your account has nothing like that. i want 2,000 pounds ronald and i want it now and i don't want you to ask why and i don't want anyone other than you and me to know about it. but i'm only the assistant manager linda. i can't. i want that money ronald and unless i get it -i'll just speak to that fiancee that you've had for the past ten years and i shall tell her how you spend your thursday dinner times because i'm at my wits end. i mean it ronald. i really mean it. god knows what time i'll get off. apart from everything else -i still have to help him falsify his crime return. maybe we should give it a miss. just come by when you can. i'll give you a ring. no need, just come in. -see you later. good morning jack. morning. so what's he doing with an empty steel box handcuffed to his wrist? well, maybe what was in it had already been delivered. -then why have it still chained to his wrist and why lock it up again. no son, this one has got complications. but don't you worry about it. you sit there eating your donut nice and slowly so you don't get an ulcer. meanwhile, i'll go and play -mr. plod the policeman. jack. she's a nice girl wpc wallace. she's bright too. don't mess her about son. -heard about my skeleton have you? yeah. you get all the cushy ones. hello. did you get it? -yes. but you haven't involved the police? no. because if you have. i swear it, please. -you'll get your instructions later today. is she all right? tell me she's all right please. later today. hello, mr. powell, how are you? -oh, it's mrs., do forgive me. mrs. fisher. yes, of course, mrs. fisher. and how is mrs. powell? not very good i'm afraid. -in fact, she's deteriorated a great deal since you, i'm waiting for her now, she's having her weekly (unintelligible). have they told you anything? no, only that they're taking her in. why do they bother? -for god's sake, she's riddled with this stuff. i mean why do they bother. i can't stand around here all day. i just can't. i mean what do they expect. -it's not what they want jack, it's what you want. mr. frost, telephone. at least in my game there's always an excuse. he's cleaned up very nicely i must say. oh yes, his mother would be proud of him. -have a look at this. now this was not broke or chewed off by animals. it was deliberately hacked off with something like an ax. before or after death? i can only surmise, but i'd hazard it shortly after death before serious decomposition took place. -i guess that the arm was severed in order to remove the chain. yeah, but it was still on the arm. only suppose that whoever chopped it chopped too high up and wouldn't be able to slide the wristband over the severed end. the victim was probably fleshy, a little fat. try dragging your wristwatch up your arm. -you'll find it gets stuck half way. yeah, but why cut off the arm to remove a locked and empty box. you're the detective, not i, which is why i'm surprised you haven't commented on the best bit. good god. and this is the perpetrator, a pistol bullet. -we found it inside the skull with all the dirt. anything else i shall of course advise you. how's chief inspector alan by the way? i was very sorry to hear of his illness. not half as sorry as i am. -denton police. i'd like to speak to the officer in charge of looking for the missing girl, tracy uphill? that would be detective inspector frost sir? he's not here at the moment. if you'll hang on. -just tell him her mother withdrew a large sum of.. mr. hudson would like to see you mr. garwood. all they could say was his age between 35 and 40. height 5'9", 5'1 0". extensive dental work. -that might give us something. and his left leg had been broken about five years before he died. anything they could tell you about the security box? it was very strong obviously specially made for the job. sort of thing security firms used to cart large sums of money about. -they managed to get the maker's name off the lock which was smith and curtis. they used to specialize in safes and strong boxes and so on. went out of business in 1969. anyway, i've got records of all the missing persons between 1955 and '61, but that might take a bit of time. so i've had a word with the local press to see if they could come up with something. -alternatively, i could always stick him back in the ground and dig him up when things get a bit slack. (phone ringing) hello. you haven't told anyone? no. -you know the cricket ground on the old.. yes. there's a telephone box just past the crossroads. at 8:00 put the money in your bag and walk there. wait by the phone box until i call with further instructions. -you're right tracy love. what am i doing messing about with old bones when you're god knows where. and what am i going to tell your mom? we're doing our best. that'll really perk her up. -i've got to tell her something, that's for sure. (knock on door) don't give me anymore of that stuff. just burn it. what did you make of that phone call? -what phone call? there's a note on your desk here somewhere. what did it say, this note? there you go. caller wanted to talk to you about the missing girl. -wouldn't leave his name. just said, tell him her mother withdrew a large sum. then he rang off. why didn't you tell me this before? it's been sitting around here for god knows how long. -if you cleaned up that mess once in a while you might be able to find something. you have paper not the a kid. he's quite right, of course. hello. yes. -yes, he's here. your friend, sandy longford. yes. hey, get away from her! hey! -so, i go to the files as requested and what i turn up, thank you very much is the best story i've had in years, which i have incidentally already sold to the dailies. of course, you and i were still in short pants. 1961, let me see, kennedy elected, first man in space, berlin wall went up. -yeah scotland did the double (unintelligible) left the city (unintelligible) cup final come on sandy, let's have it. felton was a cashier working for the eastern counties bank on the old i street. 26th of january 1961 when he left denton by car, driven by junior clark ronald garwood. -destination.. seven miles away to deliver 40,000 pounds locked in a case, chained to felton's wrist. car never arrived. found on a side road well away from the route he should have taken. guard is found unconscious. -so badly beaten about the head he still has no memory of what happened. felton and the 40,000 were never seen again. any next of kin? his wife remarried a yank, no other family. now you said this what's his name, garwood, still has no memory. -he's back at the bank, assistant manager. spoke to him only a half an hour ago. as you can imagine, he was quite surprised. i tried to get a statement from the bank manager, but he wasn't having any. so looks as though i owe you a favor. -you know, i have a bloody good mind to buy you a curry. yeah, yeah, yeah, he is. i've got to go home. tomorrow linda love. you can go home tomorrow. -no, i got to go now. i said i'd be there when he phones again. that was the bargain. she might even be there waiting. she's waiting. -they found her bag. and? empty. the 2,000 you mean? well everything. -the bastard. why the hell didn't she tell us? because she was afraid, that's why stupid more like it. well, not everyone's got your brain power have they constable? -it's a pity you leave it in neutral most of the time. i thought you ought to know someone just phoned for her. he wouldn't leave his name. what did he want? he wanted to know if you were keeping her in. -and you said, yes. yes. get yourself another body and you go and sit outside her house. thank you. what are we after? -kidnapper my ass. what sort of kidnapper nicks a woman's small change and her front door keys? i'll tell you the sort. a nasty little toe rag who knows the place will be empty. so not content with the 2,000. -he's going to pop in there and get whatever else is going. the cheaper they are, the greedier they are and greed, my son, is the biggest mistake of the lot. now you let him get in there and you catch him on the way out when he's got his hands full. and when you've got him you give me a shout here. i'll be here in churchill ward. -now don't ask any questions. what did he say to you? oh, i see. perhaps i should have done the same. i'm afraid he caught me unaware, which is, of course, what they try to do, these people. -and i suppose we shall have the police asking all those stupid questions again. god only knows what use it is. and quite frankly the last.. yes, i will. i'm sorry.. -yeah. good night. smoke, drink, you name it, i abused it. get away. and then one morning -i woke up and i said to myself, howard, what are you doing? what are you what? what are you doing? i mean in terms of my body. -there we go. got him. in the nick. i'm sorry to hear your wife's so ill. they told me downstairs. -i didn't know. no reason why you should. come on, let's go. and it was when i was leaving the house that the officers arrested me. what happened to mrs. uphill was an accident. -i didn't mean her no harm. i just saw it as a way of making easy money, okay. okay. if you just like to sign that for me there, there and there please. time is 23:45. -the interview with darin brennand is concluded. thank you. i don't know about the i didn't mean her no harm bit. i've been glancing through your form. -you not being a local, i haven't had the pleasure of your previous acquaintance or acquaintance with your previous perhaps i should have said. but doing women no harm doesn't seem to form a major part of your philosophy. they wind me up. i know what you mean sir, i know what you mean. -women were only put on this earth so us big macho men can give them a right hand now and again. what else? make sure that scum bag brennand gets a decent night's kick 'cause i'm going to throw the bloody book at him tomorrow. first thing tomorrow morning, get on to that bank and make an appointment to see this garwood bloke. right guv. -where you going? home. have you done those crime returns yet? well, no. well, get on with them then. -i'm sorry son, i'm feeling a bit low tonight. come on, bobos time you look half dead. tell him to pick me up outside the hospital, in 20 minutes. good morning. -oh, hi. everything all right. no change. they told me you were here. you want to know the truth. -couldn't stand being in that house on my own. are you involved in this skeleton thing? oh yeah, up to here. i mean just finding him like that after all this time. well, can't keep anything hidden. -not forever. just you remember that. i know mr. powell. funny enough i saw him here only yesterday. powell, oh, the bloke that was the bank manager, right. -i nursed his wife for a while till she went completely. (unintelligible) he's the only one she'll let near her. 24 hours a day, how he manages, i have no idea. patience of a saint. -oh, sorry. where are you gerald. stay there darling. i'm just bringing your tea. morning guv. -is it? i phoned the bank. garwood isn't in today. where is he? they don't know. -right, thanks very much. he's usually out of the house half eight on the dot. what about last night? well, they were out till 12, but they noticed all his lights were still on. yeah, they still are. -so he's not at work. he's not answering the phone. car's still in the drive. he hasn't taken the paper in. so looks like i'm going to have to shove you and your brand new suit through the window. -thank you. waste not, want not. don't drip blood over the man's nice clean floor. there's a good boy. guv? -in here. looks like he's been turned over. yes. him and me both. well, he was shot at a distance of a few feet. -bullet's lodged in the skull somewhere. i'll fish it out for you when i do the autopsy. he'd fallen back, hit his head on the table. not that he'd felt it. he was dead before he hit the floor. -some people have all the luck. rough time? speculation again, but i'd say between 8 and 10 last night. i'll be more precise after the postmortem. quite a busy period for you inspector. -yes. so far this week i'm averaging a body a day. how you feeling? better now. sorry. -to your credit, you still got some decent revulsion left in you. couple years from now you'll be flicking your butts in the socket like the rest of us. well, what do you reckon? someone carrying a gun. -this is heavy stuff son. garwood was the assistant bank manager. chances are he could be holding the keys to the vault. good thought clive. thanks. -get on to the bank. oh, and while you're on, ask them if they had a robbery last night. and if they had, why the hell didn't they bother to tell us? you sure you'll be all right? you're sure you don't want me to come in? -no, i'll be all right. if he didn't take her, where is she? well, the long and short of it is this one gets it the day after we dig up his long, lost friend. this could be a coincidence, but from where i'm leaning, it looks like we've got ourselves two sides of the infernal triangle. what's your next step? -same as always. go out and ask a lot of silly questions in the hope that we might get a few not so silly answers. what about the girl? oh tracy, yes, we mustn't forget little tracy. well, so far she's been seen in london, -cornwall and dover. she's been seen on a lorry heading up the m1. and a cafe in leeds, with two pakistanis and a china man. outside a cinema in bromley with a bloke and a crash helmet. everywhere except here in denton. -i'll extend the search area tomorrow, but if we don't get a break soon it's not looking good. yes. i've got to go to this damn civic lunch. yes, i don't want to spoil your appetite by you sitting there worrying. in a couple weeks time, -detective inspector alan will be back, which means the girl will be miraculously found alive and well. the skeleton will walk into the nic, bringing with it the missing 40, 000 pounds and brandishing a signed confession to the murder of garwood. rain will stop. poverty will vanish and peace will break out all over the world. in the meantime, yours truly will attempt to stick his finger up the dike as per. -have a nice lunch sir. there's not much of a place for a retired bank manager. don't mention garwood until i'm ready, right. right. i've been expecting you, ever since i read about it in the paper this morning. -poor felton 'course everyone was convinced that he's absconded with the money. even myself i'm afraid. how well do you remember the day of the robbery, mr. powell? i remember it very clearly. it could help if you would tell us about it. -yes. i'm so sorry. just after i returned home from the bank i was telephoned by stephen harrington, manager of our exley branch. he wanted to know if we could help him out with a large cash transfer the following day. -the 40,000? apart from yourself and the manager at... exley. exley, who else knew about the transfer? only felton and garwood. -the two clocks who would be making the delivery. how many sets of keys were there to the security box? two. i had one set and harrington at exley the other. i personally checked the money into the box, secured the chain to felton's wrist, told them to wait in my office until 12:30 and then left for my appointment. -what appointment. a funeral, mrs. kingsley. one of our largest private accounts and a dear personal friend. there was no way i could miss paying my last respects. i returned from the funeral a little after 2:00. -telephoned harrington, who told me that the money had not arrived. i immediately informed the police and the car and young garwood were found in a lane just off the main denton road. the police asked me to check that i still had the keys to the security box. i opened the safe in my office where i put them and they were not there. did felton have a key to your safe sir? -yes. yes, he did. young garwood can confirm all this, of course. presumably, you will be speaking to him? i thought mr. garwood had no memory of that day. -only as i understand it from the time he was struck on the head. he can most certainly corroborate events prior to that. i doubt it sir. last night someone put a bullet through his brain just like they did poor old mr. felton. gerald, where are you? -it's all right my darling. i'm coming. please. please. where did you go? -you went away. you know i don't like you going away. well, you were asleep my darling. come on now. why are those men here? -they've come to see how you are my darling. you must go now she gets very nervous. it isn't her fault you understand. now why don't we read you a book. way to end up hey guv. -in a room, like a flipping museum. all those photographs. i suppose it must have been their son. pride and joy by the look of it. what? -pride and joy, the son. yes. i suppose so. you're dead aren't you tracy love. there's always hope. -yeah, there's always hope. so either felton was working on his own and he was turned over afterwards or he was working with an accomplice and they fell out. so we have a motive, and the opportunity. well, apart from harrington over at exley who died four years ago, three people knew that money was leaving the bank. now felton and garwood are dead. -so that leaves old man powell. if he did end up with the 40,000, judging by the way he lives, he hasn't done much with it. not unless he needed it for something else. frost. yes. -how you finding things here? fine, thanks. any problems? no, sir. thanks. -good. that was the jolly ballistic boys. have we got those fags i gave you? no. don't lie to me, give me one. -they say that the bullet that killed garwood last night was fired from the same gun that killed felton 30 years ago. they suggest it might be significant. you mean they were both killed by the same person? no, by the same gun. what did you give me this for? -charlie, what have we got.. no, i'll do that sir. yes, sir. right away sir. i sat there, all night i sat there, trying to feel something. -she was my wife and she was dying and i couldn't feel anything for her. things started to go wrong for us god knows how many years ago. when we found out she couldn't have kids, i don't know, she just changed. -we changed. she suddenly became all house proud. everything had to be clean and neat and tidy. you take one look at me. with my job. -i'm a street copper, that's where i belong. but that wasn't good enough for her now. she wanted me to go for promotion, to be ambitious, to make something of myself. she wanted something to be proud of you see, and what poor carol got was me. she came to despise me in the end. -i know she did. i used to dread going home to see that look of disappointment in her face. so i stopped going home. you know, i'd use any excuse. anyway i uh.. -i met someone else. when don't you? i made up my mind to leave her and the very day i plucked up courage to tell her the doctor phoned me at the station. she got cancer. 18 months to live. -she always had trouble with her stomach, nerves. anyway, she wanted to know. she hoped she could cope. she went to pieces. she clung to me for the first time in years. -her whole body shaking. you will look after me billy. you will look after me billy. you'll look after me, won't you. i said, of course, i'll look after you. -of course, i'll stay and take care of you. i went out and got so drunk. i was still drunk when the call came through about this nutter with a gun. and before they could stop me i was moving in on him. -you know what i was thinking. all i was thinking was go on you bugger, shot me 'cause i don't give a damn one way or the other. and for this act of outstanding heroism i got a medal. i think that was the happiest day of her life, you know. -she was standing next to me at buckingham palace. at last i'd done something to make her proud of me. and i wasn't even there when she died. she'd of liked that. you even let me down on that billy. -can't trust you to do anything. i've got a copy of the medical reports on the caretaker, albert burrow. remember guv. he went missing shortly after the robbery. the doctor says that although burrow broke his leg some 19 months previous there's no reason why this interfered with the efficient performance of his caretaker.. -(not listening) look, i've got a couple of things to do. you stay and have a cup of tea or something. i'll be back here in an hour. what time was this? -be about seven, just before i phoned you. tell me about the son. it's hearsay mind, but straight out of the deep blue sea by all accounts. went to the raf, left in something of a hurry. -bit of a scandal about a mess bill or something. started a vintage car business, that went down the pan. started something else, ditto. before he knew it, he's got more creditors than this has got bones. so 40,000 pounds might have got him out of a lot of trouble. -might have done. trouble is the robbery was in 1961 and he threw himself under a train in 1957. sorry jack. not your day, is it? no. -not my day at all. wait here till i need you. the editor told me that he'd spoken to mr. garwood and the bank manager who refused to give him an interview. at the time, i thought he meant the present bank manager, mr. hudson. -but now, of course, i realize he meant you mr. powell. that means that you knew that felton's body had been found before garwood had been murdered, but you told me the first you knew of it was when you read about it in the morning paper. that is after garwood's death. you lied mr. powell. you lied 'cause you killed him, didn't you? -let me speak to your wife. no, my wife knows nothing of this. i want to talk to her. have you still got the gun sir? yes. -i think that you ought to give it to me, don't you? what happens now? i must ask you to come with me. no, i can't allow that. -i've already got one medal mr. powell. i don't need another. alright. alright. it's because the box was empty. -that's how you know, isn't it? something like that, yes. i knew you'd see. i knew as soon as you found him. my son, had so many grandiose ideas he thought he was so clever, but the scum that he mixed with are far cleverer. -they took him for thousands. in order to get himself out of trouble he misappropriated some 25,000 pounds of his client's money. that's a lot of money in those days. a fortune. he came to me not for the first time begging for help. -how could i refuse him? my son, the light of his mother's life. for sometime i've been handling the financial affairs of an old lady called mrs. kingsley. it was close on a quarter million pounds lying untouched in her deposit account. -she trusted me implicitly. getting the 25,000 pounds was not difficult. no, it wasn't too honest either was it. he would have gone to prison. i couldn't allow it. -his mother idolized him. to this day, she has no idea how much pain he caused. so you fiddled the old lady's books. i had every intention of paying it back, every last penny. a month later he wanted more. -this time i said no. he begged, but i remained firm. this time he'd have to find his own way out of the mess he'd made of his life. he went to london, wrote me a note and killed himself. his mother.... -his mother was left completely broken. and you were left to account for the 25,000 pounds you'd stolen. as long as the old lady was alive i had breathing space. for two years i lived on my nerves, repaying what money i could, terrified that my wife would.. -then in quick succession i received two body blows. felton, my chief clock found out about money, began blackmailing me, threatening to tell my wife whose health was already.. then the news i'd been dreading. the old lady died. only a matter of time before my deception was uncovered. -and then out of the blue apparent salvation. i was asked to transfer the money to the exley branch. when i informed felton that he was to act as courier. he immediately saw it as a way for me to payback the stolen money and for him to pocket the rest. we would arrange for a fake robbery to take place. -i would slip away from the funeral and set up an obstruction in the road. when young garwood stopped the car felton would knock him unconscious. when he came round, felton would tell of a masked man with a gun accost them both. -meantime, i would return to the funeral, throwing away the open and empty box for the police to find later. and the money? the 40,000. money was in the last place that anyone would think of looking for it. it never left my office. -the box was empty the whole time. the police would be looking for an armed man with a sack full of money and find neither because they were non-existent. now that is clever. but something went wrong. something went wrong. -he's alright. he's alright. the windshield, shoot the bloody windshield the keys, unlock the bloody case. i changed into my dark suit before going to the funeral. -in doing so, i'd placed the keys on top of my filing cabinet. they were still there. you stupid, bloody old fool. there was only one thing left for me. -to make it appear that the robbery had taken place and that felton was involved. i took my keys before i left to make it appear that felton had taken them. on my way home, i threw them away when it was completely dark. i took him to the woods and i buried him. -it was only then i realized what i'd done throwing away the keys before putting the money back in the box. how could i explain it if the body were found and the box cut open, and revealed to be empty. i went back with a spade and an ax. i severed his arm. the flesh was swollen. -the chain wouldn't move. i dug another hole. when i returned home i scrubbed my hands till they bled. at a pinch i might just understand how you came to kill felton, but killing garwood. -i knew you would question garwood and if there was the chance, just the slightest chance that he would.. see, i love my wife very much inspector and she needs me you see. i'm the only one she trusts. she depends on me entirely. -without me she couldn't exist and if i were to be taken from her, i didn't want to kill garwood, but it was his.. (gunshot) you all right. (gunshot) -(police radio) mr. and mrs. gerald powell, shot her, then shot himself. sort of one sided suicide pact. the newspapers are going to love it. what's happening? -is the pathologist having it? no, straight to the morgue. i mean i have to inform the next of kin. there is no next of kin. and old jack got a thump on the head so i'd stay out of his way when he gets back. -you all right guv. yeah, i'm all right. broke the door down, did you? yeah. i thought you were in trouble. -that was a bit daft wasn't it. you could have got your bloody head blown off. i must have been (unintelligible) the poor old sod. no. he just loved her. -not today, thank you. hq to di frost, are you reading me please yes, what is it. don't tell me you found someone else with a bullet in his bump. no, jack, we found the girl. -she's all right linda. she's all right. she was just left outside casualty. sedated and wrapped in a blanket. there's no evidence of any kind of assault. -apart from the bang on the head, she's fine. i'll see if i can get them to get you a cup of tea, all right. mr. frost. you all right guv. seem to spend half my rotten life in this hospital. -let's get out of here, go and get some decent petro fumes down our lungs for god's sake. what's this? it's just a blanket and the clothes she was wearing. no, this, cat's hair. you're covered in it. -guv, where are they? what? the cats. annie. what happened annie? -children, they come here. they torment me. throw stones, break windows, call me witch. last sunday she come, the girl. she see me and call me filthy names. -where do children learn such words? i find it best to say nothing. they get bored. they go away. but this one. -she kept on and on, and then she throw stones. my kitten was outside, my lovely white kitten. she hits it. it cry with pain, and suddenly i am so angry, angry for all those years and i'm taking up a stone and i'm throwing it and she fall. and when i see what i have done i'm frightened. -i hide her and stop the blood and give her medicine for to sleep. but i know she need doctor and i take her to hospital. i know she tell you. i know you come. i know i must be punished. -guv. if i am not here, who cares for them? who look after them? of course, the irony of it all is that if the girl's mother had been 20 minutes earlier, that body would probably remained in those woods for another 30 years. was the first thing that struck me sir was the irony of it all. -i remember saying to dc barnard as they carted powell and his wife off to the morgue how ironic, i said. if you excuse me sir, i have some paperwork to clear up. i was really very sorry to hear about your wife. if there's anything i can do. -thank you. oh, and you better get on to the social services people. what for sir? a mother lets her young daughter run the streets when she uses the home for prostitution. come on now jack. -but that means they might take the kid away from her. that's for them to decide. but she loves that kid. it's called care and protection. well, i suppose someone's got to pay for that bloody helicopter, haven't they? -sir. and you will let me have your reports in writing, won't you? take the car and i'll see you in the morning. all right guv. 9:00 tomorrow, pick me up half eight. -guv. go on. you don't know? you know there is a contract out on me. you know it's to happen tomorrow. -you know it's come from london. you know all these things. but not his name. tell me the name! he doesn't know. -we gotta be alert. keep your eyes peeled. get that little shit before he gets me. welcome to flight 122 from london heathrow to venice marco polo. if for any reason the air supply fails... -are you not a flyer? no. read. that's the best thing. isn't this important? -do you think when you're plummeting into the alps at 500 mph, you are actually going to remember this? buying property? yes. it's my boss, actually. i'm just supervising the purchase. -well, let's hope we get there, then, eh? signorina, telefono! hello, caroline wright speaking. buongiorno, caroline, signore marco for you. ciao, carolina. -signore marco. is the work finished? they're finishing off now. have they managed to hide everything?

-the most we could get is £60,000. can you do that? i'm sure i can. you've screwed people before. you can do it again. -the english will buy anything! yes. that's what it seems to be. an old fogy's lonely hearts. a club 58-70. -good value, mind you. you get your flights, meal vouchers, five nights in venice at hotel gabrielli. and they throw in a woman. you've no idea who she is. a sort of lucky bag. -and she will be. same again?

yes. only i didn't expect you to be quite so... young. thank you, mr. orton, but it doesn't make me any less capable. -no, i don't doubt that. and it's horton, with an h. oh, sorry. so, anyway, this is the garden. and as you can see, it's a lovely view, isn't it?

"mess this up and you're out." -your bloody mr. marshall, he no exist. he does! he's the director of accounts. then you can telephone him, no? well, yes, but he's very busy. -he doesn't like me ringing... one, two, three. a spot of gardening? can i join you? i must say, a bit backward in coming forward. -patricia fulford.

most clients would never bother with this. -clients. it's straight in there. that's the way they want to do things nowadays. some of them want to do it on the phone. it's unbelievable. -that's the modern world for you. you sound as though you're not new to this... game. no, been at it for years. oh, isn't it beautiful? let's go in here. -this'll do. yes. what for? what line of work are you in? i'm a bank manager. -are you married? no, absolutely not. didn't you see my file? your file? i'm a widower. -i'm sorry. it was long time ago. she was a very good wife, rosemary. tragic, really. camping in wales. -she used to run a girl scout group. one night, she nipped into the tent to answer nature's call. tripped over a guy rope. tent peg... oh, my god! -still, i honestly believe, if she was looking down on us now... she wouldn't disapprove. you know... this sort of rigmarole. that's nice. shame she can't be here to enjoy it with you. -yeah. marshall?

three years ago, melvin freestone wrote a half-million-dollar life insurance policy on tito washburn. a sports agent took it out on him when it looked like he'd play pro ball. -that's illegal. that's why nobody knew about it... until now. well, who is the beneficiary, his wife? you think she killed him? what's the matter, guys? -a little sore? did you at least win the game? of course we won. congratulations. garner, there was a message for you. -from the lab. they said they found a trace of blood under one of tito's fingernails. it evidently wasn't his. if tito was murdered... this could be the blood of his killer. -we need to play another game, mitch. look, honey. the cream is working. i'm going out to lunch with you. no, arlene, you can't do that. -dennis, do you realize we've spent a grand total of 15 minutes together our entire honeymoon? yeah, but you go downstairs, all they is an open-air cafe, and you can't sit in the sun. all right, so we'll order room service. i'm not spending a whole day cooped up in this room all by myself again. -look, room service could take hours. it will be forever before they get food up here. i'll tell you what, i'll run down to the restaurant. i'll get us both food. i'll bring up here. -it'll be like having a picnic at the beach. isn't that a great idea? it'll be cheaper and more romantic. oh, all right, but don't take long. i'll miss you. -i'll miss you, too. give me a kissy. mmm. what do you want? i'll have a ham and cheese sandwich on a sourdough roll, lettuce, tomato, onion heavy on the mustard. -that's a ham and cheese with everything, hold the mustard. i'll be back before you know it. and a diet pepsi. that was "heavy" on the mustard. i know, you beat me. -what are the odds? you are five-to-one underdogs. how much is riding on the game? everything i got. i hope you came to play. -excuse me. not so fast. how we play depends a lot on how much you tell us about tito washburn. well, i got no problem with that, see. see, the word on the street is, cookie was seeing somebody on the side. -you wouldn't know who that somebody else is, would you?

stephanie can get it there. come on, guys, let's go. hey, man, we got better things to do than to wait for "you" all day. -all you got to do is draw blood. oh, wait a second. this was your idea. he's your man... you're guarding him. -my game is finesse. you're supposed to be the enforcer. i knew it. i knew it. okay, you want me to take him out?

-how did he do that? good morning, folks. how you doing? morning, ozzie. morning, ozzie. -i hear he's some kind of inventor. nick, breakfast. nick! i'm coming. your hands are getting bigger now -your arms and legs are longer now you even sense your insides grow when mom and dad wayne. yeah, honey? where's the baby? -he's in the playpen. he gets out of the playpen. no, i fixed it. sweetheart, i hate to remind you, but the last time you fixed the playpen... he still got out of it. well, he won't get out this time. -hiya. will you, big buddy, huh? i'm certainly capable of fixing a playpen, aren't i? you're just a little baby, after all. your hat? -it's my helmet. new one? yeah, it's a new one. see, it shaves me. see that? -there. amy, it's decided. i'm going with you. period. mom, in the first place, i'm not the first girl who has ever gone away to college. -and in the second place, we're... mom. excuse me. amy, i'm gonna help you get settled in. that's it. -want a noise?

-just by looking at me, i mean. it's a rhetorical question, mom. it doesn't require an answer. am i any girl in particular? no. -just a girl i might, i don't know, ask to go to the movies or something. nicky, you are turning into a very handsome young man. you're gonna be just like your dad. honey... can you help me adjust this servo regulator? now, if you and nicky want to get out by yourselves while i'm gone... the baby-sitter's number's in the kitchen. -what's with him? i think there's a girl. nick? our nick? you know, he's growing up, in case you haven't noticed. -uh-oh. i'll fix it. i'll fix you, you little punk! nick, stop! adam, no. -sorry, mama. yes, i should hope so. come on. oh, man. you're getting to be a big boy. -how do you keep getting out of there, anyway? i think maybe we should forget about the playpen idea. i said i could fix it. i'm not stupid. i never said you were stupid. -taxi's here. so what's for breakfast? anything good? mmm, fantastic. the taxi's gonna take mommy to the airport. -and then mommy's gonna show amy her new room at school. hopefully they'll tire him out at day care. so when i get home, he'll take a late nap. no nap! honey... -we don't say the "n" word around two-year-olds. adam. coloured car. okay, now, adam's lunch is in the freezer... adam. -and i put the baby-sitter's number on the refrigerator. is there something i'm forgetting? i'm sure i'm forgetting some... diane, diane, relax. don't you think i can handle things around here? -of course you can, honey. break it up, guys. don't worry, dad. she'll get there, realize there's nothing to do... turn around, and come right back. bye. -bye, nick. come on, amy. we gotta get going. oh. don't forget to drop nick and adam off on your way to work. -gosh, the time. i got to get you to work. i got a big test today. bye. bye-bye, mama. -come on. come on. come on. come on. you can do it. -atta girl. szalinski test number 1277. crystal group 5. shouldn't we wait for szalinski? maybe this will teach him to be here on time. -szalinski isn't running the show. i am. this better work this time, so concentrate. ten seconds. nine, eight, seven, six, five... four, three, two, one, zero. -here. sorry, everybody. there were some large cumulonimbus clouds blocking the sun, and l-i lost power. and my son got a job for the summer... wet and wild. -i had to drop him off. what's that stuff on your face? oh, excuse me, dr hendrickson? i'm sick and tired of this! now, we have had some success replicating szalinski's experiments shrinking matter. -but reversing the process, enlarging matter... has seen us run up one blind alley after another. clifford sterling demands results. his board of directors demands results, the united states government demands results... and as project director, i... excuse me, dr hendrickson. -i beg your pardon, wayne. as project co-director, i intend to deliver results. l-i've been doing some work on my own on the problem, sir. yes, wayne. i think you'll find if you look at these calculations... -wayne, wayne, wayne, wayne. when you licensed your device to sterling labs, you were promised... that the finest minds in the country would be working on it, and they are. i know that, sir. good, good. but l-i think if you look at these notes, you'll find that although... -mandy? yeah, rick? nick. nick. hey, nick, your dad's here in his spaceship. -the dweezil wheels. hey, nicky! want a ride? hey, look. it's the nerdmobile. -hey, look at that. oh, man. have a nice flight. thanks a lot, dad. for what? -nothing. dad, were you ever popular in school? you bet. i was president of the astronomy club two years in a row. we were happening' guys. -so mom tells me that there's some girl? what? no. no, i was... i was just wondering. -how was your flight? uh-huh. n-no, fine. no, we just got home. we're fixing dinner now. -what noise? uh, it was just a bad connection, that's all. the baby? well, h-he's fine. he's in the playpen. -no, i fixed it. he can't get out. ice cream. how's amy's dorm? uh-huh. -yeah. hey, stop it. nothing. just the dog. uh-huh. -no, everything's fine. boy, you worry too much. what? the chicken? well, the chicken you left us really looks fine, honey. -so i was thinking, with mom and amy out of town... that this would give us guys a chance to, uh, talk about, uh... you know, the birds and the bees. here, nicky. you know what i was thinking, big bunny? what? i was thinking we got to be nice to our brother nick. -you know why? no, why? well, because he moved away to a new place now, and he's got to make all new friends, just like me and you. yeah? yeah. -shall we sing a song now? yeah. what song shall we sing? "abcs." how about "twinkle, twinkle"? -"abc." "abc"? yeah. twinkle, twinkle... "abcs"! -let's sing "twinkle, twinkle, little star." - "abcs." "abcs"? okay, first "abcs." a-b-c-d-e-f-g, h-l-j-k-l-m-n-o-p now "twinkle, twinkle," okay? okay. -twinkle, twinkle little star how i won... what you are it'll be a hell of a thing for you, charles, if it works. it'll work. i'll make it work. -over the years, i've seen clifford sterling attach himself to one crazy idea after another. i have to tell you, the board of directors is very worried. if you'll pardon me a moment. hendrickson. hello? -what was that? it was a balloon popping, dr hendrickson. i got the idea while singing my kid to sleep. you see, if you hit a balloon with too much force... you don't allow the molecules time to expand, and the balloon pops. problem? -no, szalinski. oh, him. why clifford insists on keeping him involved is absolutely beyond me. if i were running this project by myself right now, we'd be neck-deep in apples... the size of buicks. there are those of us on the board who would agree with you. -...fundamental integrity of the atomic substructure... clifford sterling just may have outlived his usefulness... to the corporation, to its stockholders. i should think his successor would be a foregone conclusion... especially if you're the one to actually make this thing work. ...thereby allowing the molecules time to expand... without tearing the atomic fabric. hello? -szalinsk... szalinski... why don't you write up this, uh, balloon research of yours? i can do the math and have it on your desk tomorrow. no, that's not necessary. all right, have a good weekend, szalinski. -"have a good weekend, szalinski"? hello? hi, may i please speak to mandy? sure. mandy, phone. -hello? hi, mandy? i'll fix it. daddy! hey, what are you doing up, little guy? -hey, nick, want to do something with me tomorrow? yeah, sure. okay. come on, fella. one more story. -then tomorrow, you want to come with me and nicky down to the lab and we'll play? okay, guys. see, adam, this is where daddy works. want me to take that? yeah. -got to be a little bit discreet about this. huh? mr szalinski. hi, smitty. hello. -you working today? uh, just gonna tidy up a little bit. wow. wow. this is some lab. -some lab. way better than what we had in the attic, huh? way better. way better. yes, would you connect me with dr hendrickson, please? -call up a command directory labeled "primary laser drive." tell me what it says under "intensity." it says "access denied." access denied? got to figure out some way how to lower the intensity of the laser. hey, dad. -we could diffuse it maybe. that's a good idea. now we'll set final target. target what, dad? hey, can i borrow this, pal? -no. come on. let me see if i can make big bunny really big bunny, huh? yes, sir. i thought it was unusual, him being in here on a saturday. -no, you did the right thing letting me know. thank you. well, that's it for me. hey, you're gonna have to wear some glasses. there you go. -thirty seconds. twenty-five seconds. twenty seconds. 19, 18, 17, 16... 15, 14, 13... 12, 11, 10... 9, 8, 7, 6, 5... dang! -power surge! 3, 2, 1... quick, the abort switches! zero. unable to abort. -joe, what's happening up here? uh, mr szalinski. uh, your security clearance... denies you access to the equipment... without dr hendrickson's permission. you are aware of that, right? yeah, smitty. -uh, mr szalinski... i'm sorry i had to, uh, uh... that baby of yours. sure starting to get big. see you, smitty. -i'm bigger. bigger, bigger, bigger. dad, how come you got to ask somebody's permission to work on your own invention? well, nick, dad's a member of a team now, and i'm working with some real talented people. but, dad, it's your invention. -they didn't have the idea, you did. okay, bud. looks like daddy... needs to spend a little quality time with nick, okay? so i'm gonna get you a baby-sitter. you're gonna have yourself a good time. -nick. yeah. you puttin' on a little bit of weight? i'm big. you know what? -daddy's gonna make you a nice quick lunch. maybe kind of a low-cal thing. what do you think, huh? it's gonna be good. okay, you know what? -sit down and hang onto him. this guy's gonna keep you company, and i'm gonna make... uh, baby-sitter, baby-sitter, baby-sitter. 555-5654. okay, so lunches. -whoa. how about that, huh? yeah? hi, is this mandy park? yeah. -uh, hi, this is, uh, wayne szalinski. can you come over about 3:30 for us? uh, 3:30? sounds okay, mr schlitzminski. uh, szalinski, dear. -szalinski, right. that's what i said. i, like, charge $2.50 an hour. unless, of course, i actually have to do anything... like change diapers or clean up or something, in which case, the price goes up. oh, no. -all you have to do is just-just watch him, really. okay, see you at 3:30. okay. okay. okay. -are these quark's or yours? you just stay here, okay? she sounded great on the phone. i want to go to a restaurant. you want to go to a restaurant? -but i just made this stuff. it's gonna be good. i want to go eat in restaurant. well, um, i'll be the waiter, okay? and, uh, let me take your order. -what would you like? i want the duck. duck. the duck... the duck is not very good tonight. -uh, can i recommend the special? okay. okay, fine. we have soup du jour. we have hamburger. -we have french fries today. would you like 'em? okay. all right. i'll be right back. -okay. hey, nick, want to go to a movie? just the two of us. yeah, there's a movie at the desert six i wanted to see. great. -come on. it'll take our minds off everything. i'll check show times. okay, and then maybe afterwards, we can get a bite to eat or something. big, big bunny. -what's that? what's gotten into him? dad, how? where were you in the lab this morning? were you watching adam? -he was off to the side. but at the moment of discharge, where was he? just before, i know, he was off to the side. wasn't he? somehow, i don't think so. -boo. don't worry, adam. daddy's going to make everything okay. okay, we got to get him back to the lab, analyse the data and reverse the process. one thing, dad. -what? do you think the security guard might get suspicious with us walking in with a seven-foot baby? good point. this will cover your head and your hair. here, adam, put this on. -there. he looks like a badly dressed beekeeper. all right. okay. now just act natural. -come on, bud. atta boy. smitty! smitty! um, i forgot the, um, the keys, uh, to my van, and i couldn't-couldn't start the van. -it's in the lab. it's in the lab, but i'm not going to use anything in there... because of my security, you know, access... a-access thing, which you mentioned earlier. so i'm just gonna get the keys in the lab now. adam. come on, down. -szalinski. go back up. just stopped by to do some, uh, computations... in the... in the database. the database has been erased. our entire experiment, gone. -get back! back! erased? all 38 gigabytes. it can't be. -sure it can, if the main controller was trying to compensate laser intensity... for this, which you jammed into the filter pack, you idiot... causing a power surge through the entire main drive system. who was that? who? the guy in the hat. uh, a-a friend of mine. -well, what language was he speaking? yugoslavian. you let a foreigner into the lab. he's not a foreigner. he's my wife's uncle yanosh from yugoslavia. -he's family, and he just wanted to see the lab, and i... and i brought him here. the man's a genius. did you see the size of his head? 225, the iq on that man. an extended brainpan. -extended brainpan? bafroom. no bathroom right now, adam. did he say "bathroom"? bafoon. -bafoon. yugoslavian. it's a term of, uh, of appreciation. "bafoon: thank you for bringing me down here on a saturday to the lab... to look around," that's all. -how long before we can restore the system from the backups? well, that doesn't concern you. you're off the project. you don't have the authority to make that decision. well, maybe i don't. -so why don't you call clifford sterling personally and plead your case. however, after this morning's little escapade, and the time and money it'll cost sterling labs... i don't think the old man will have a great deal of sympathy. so i hope you'll spare yourself the embarrassment of having to be escorted to the gate. start working data restoration backwards from 8:56 this morning... to the exact time the system crashed. -i want to know what he was up to. why didn't you tell 'em, dad? i mean, at least then... they'd know that you were able to make it work when nobody else could. look, nick. remember we made you kids promise never, ever to tell anyone... -you were accidentally shrunk and lost for two days? yeah. that's because we didn't want you guys to become specimens, to undergo countless tests... to go through endless observations and who knows what else. what about adam? what are we going to do? -i don't know. what i do know is... we got to figure some way to fix this before your mother gets home. hi, guys. i'm home. where'd this come from? -what do we do? i don't know. we could drive to mexico, dad, and hide out. come back when he's bigger. i mean, older. -maybe she wouldn't notice then. no. honesty's the best policy, nick. i'll just explain. sure. -it's not the first time something like this has happened... to our family. i'll just tell the truth. then beg for mercy. coloured car. what was that all about? -um, i had a little trouble with the van. l-l-i thought i put it in, uh, in-in park, and it went into reverse... 'cause the "p" and the... and the "r" look... you're back early. yeah, l-i took a cab from the airport. -you know, it really was silly. amy didn't need me at all. who's the man in the loud sport coat? stop. no. -no, those are nick's. well, diane, that's what i wanted to talk to you about. now, the-the... sit down. mom. -sit down! you know how sometimes the-the things that i invent... don't always work the way they're supposed to? sweetheart, you can tell me. how bad can it be? after all, it's not like you did something to one of the kids again. -wayne, where is adam? well, uh... who is that man in the van? and where did this bunny come from? all right, i confess. -i did it. did what? peekaboo. i blew up the baby. mama fall down. -mama? how'd she take it? about like usual. mama sleeping? i'll kill wayne. -you don't want to kill wayne. i want to kill wayne. what's he doing? he's playing with his toys. well, make him stop. -"make him stop." why didn't i think of that? adam. adam, stop fooling around! catch. -adam. that was a real rocket. let's go for a walk, adam. play ball, nick. don't throw things at nick! -catch it. this is your last warning. okay, i'll give you one more warning. honey, shh, shh. it's not as bad as it seems. -it almost couldn't be, could it? well, i finally got him in his room. tell him to stay inside, and close the door. i did close the door. he just opened his door. -and he decided to share it with us. i break off. oh, baby. adam, put the door down, sweetheart. why don't you give the door to daddy, adam? -give daddy the door, adam. i fix it, i fix it. wait till the vista del mar standards committee sees this. maybe we shouldn't bother with it. it's just a mailbox. -little things have a way of becoming very big things, patty. let go of the door, adam. no, my door. stop before someone gets hurt. let go! -i fix it! don't fix it, adam. just put down mommy's coffee table. be careful, baby. slow down, adam. -ad-ad-adam. not my antique chair! gentle. gentle. they remodelling in there? -come back. come back here. adam. adam! adam, sit down. -sit down, adam. he's on this side. he's yours. oh, adam. this is not a game. -what do we do when we catch him? adam, adam, hang on. okay, wait. okay. you guys go that way. -i'll go this way. hi, little guy. adam, put daddy down! adam, put daddy down! guitar. -not my room! adam. adam, put down my guitar. put it down. get back here. -come on. get back. all right, now. that's enough, fellas. stop. -adam, sweetheart. he's got my guitar! nicky, he's just a baby. he's not a baby. he's a monster. -he's gonna break my guitar! come back here. come back here! come back, adam. give me back my guitar! -give it back, you brat! other way. guitar all gone. got it. here, hide it. -he targeted something. but it's gonna take a lot more enhancing to figure out what. i can do it. what do you suppose this is here? condensation on the lens? -no, no, it's much too solid. how can you be sure? i'm sure. it's not amorphous. it's a mass. -i can see. play in here with daddy. play what? play anything. this should distract him. -great! that's what it's all about you put your right foot in you put your right foot out you put your right foot in and you shake it all about you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around -yeah! dance, adam. that's what it's all about good. this foot, adam. -you do the hokey pokey isn't this fun, wayne? that's what it's all about clap your hands. clap your hands. -you put your left foot in put your left foot in. good boy, adam. you put your left foot out you put your left foot in and you shake it all about -why are you closing the shutters? so one of the neighbours doesn't look in, see a seven-foot baby and call the national inquirer. that's what it's all about doorbell. who's that? -one of the neighbours. so far, your plan's working perfectly. hi. hello. hello. -we heard shouting and a lot of noise... so we were just wondering if everything was all right. oh, yes, everything's fine. we were just entertaining. uncle yanosh. uncle yanersh. -you put your whole self in you put your whole self out not too hard. you're denting the floor. bye. dad, help me. -he's got me. he's breaking my ribs. oh, don't do that, adam. my god, it appears to have three eyes. a new life-form of some sort? -try scaling up the window. this could be big. this could be very big. well, i think you did a great job with these. this should really distract him. -well, he likes noise. here you go, honey. yeah. you know what, nicky? i don't care what you say. -it's still a playpen, and a playpen's a playpen to adam. yeah, but you have to admit, mom, not many guys could come up with something like this in half an hour. cuckoo. no. no. -adam. sweetheart, no, no, no. stay away from that, sweetheart. adam, please, please don't touch that. adam, no, don't touch mommy's cuckoo. -come on away from there, adam. come over here and play with nicky. play with nicky, adam. when you get a minute, you might take a look at this. wayne? -well, some of the numbers indicate that on an atomic... please, honey, the truth, okay? the truth, diane, is that... without the access to the data at the plant, i don't know that there's anything i can do. i know what's happening, but i don't know why. i'm sorry, honey. -hey, mom, look. i finally found a way to keep him quiet. there were 12 ice cream bars in there. well, he's ruined his dinner. not necessarily, mom. -at his body weight, he should be able to metabolize... maybe i should just shut up about it. okay, boys, we're going out. diane, what are you doing? i'm taking him to the lab. -maybe there's somebody there who... who knows what they're doing? i didn't mean it like that. i'm sorry, but all i care about right now... is getting my baby to shrink back to normal size. come on, nicky. -help me get him out to the van. shrink? diane, wait! i got an idea. my original machine... -it's in the lab security warehouse. yes! this'll have to be a covert operation. diane, you come with me. nick, you stay with the baby. -oh, no. we are not leaving them here alone. diane, you can't take him to the lab. there's no telling what hendrickson will do if he gets his hands on him. look at him. -he's exhausted. he can take a nap while we're gone. no nap! look who i got: really big bunny. -hi, adam. hello, adam. you're real tired, aren't you, adam? yeah, he looks real tired to me. should we sing the song? -twinkle, twinkle, little star how i wonder what you are up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky twinkle, twinkle, little star -how i won... mine! let go! gimme! adam szalinski, you let go of that bunny right now! -put daddy down, adam. it's not nice to hurt daddy. sorry, mama. okay, i'm bringing up the structural overlay. dr hendrickson, we can make out hair, bone and metal, all sort of intertwined. -i think you should take a look at this. yes, sir. he's on his way. we'll show him the keratin analysis first. structural overlay first. -it's not clear enough. i think it is. why don't we see what he thinks?

yeah, with what, szalinski? coca-cola bottles? hmm? -maybe some, what, chewing gum and twine? just who do you think you are, talking to him like that? diane, let me handle this. who do you think you are, talking to me like that? clifford... the situation demands that i bring in the people... with the expertise and the credentials. -wait a second. you think i'm just some guy from fresno... who tinkered with crackpot ideas in his attic? well, let me tell you something. this whole country is built on the shoulders of people who tinkered... with crackpot ideas in attics and basements and backyards. alexander graham bell working in a two-room flat. -young man, don't presume... to stand there and lecture me about great minds... and great inventors. whatever i've been over the years, i've never been a fool... or been involved with anyone else who is. i certainly don't intend to start now. charles? yes, clifford? -you're fired. what? you're fired. so szalinski, what have you got in mind, so we can get that kid of yours... back to normal size by bedtime? well, sir, the prototype's in the van... -hold on, folks. we've got a problem. your son's escaped, and he's over 50 feet tall. that's impossible. my son's only 14 feet tall. -i'll drive. that's still pretty tall. yes, get me terence wheeler. this is an emergency. he broke out? -he busted out of the truck and knocked it completely over. what's he doing now? he's just standing there. but he's smiling. now, adam, sit down. -nick, i don't think sitting's such a good idea. ooh, toys. he did what? put your son and the baby-sitter in his pocket and left. he's always doing that. -i find the strangest things in his pockets. wayne, what do you suppose is causing this growth phenomenon? i don't know. they were transporting him along copper mine road. that runs alongside high-voltage lines. -oh. and yesterday when i gave him lunch, he was right near the microwave oven. and you said the baby grew while he was watching tv. of course! i don't understand any of this. -electromagnetic flux. around every operating electrical device, there's a flux. like an electromagnetic force field. that's what's causing the baby to grow. would this electromagnetic, uh... -would it surround neon lights too? yeah, why? your kid. he's headed toward las vegas. uh-oh. -uh-oh. uh-oh. you are not fired, not by a long shot. this is the opportunity i've been waiting for. at last! -sterling has gone too far this time. the board is getting together tonight. until then, i want you on this. whatever it takes, just get the situation under control. yeah, i did have one thought, sir, but i'll need military cooperation. -fine. i'll get the clearance. charles, just-just-just handle this for us. we'll... we'll do the right thing by you. -police reports just in say that some kind of large creature... has just escaped from a government caravan and is heading toward the city. mrs szalinski, if he heads for the lights, he has to come this way. according to my calculations, he's gotta hold still for 12.2 seconds. what? his increased mass requires a longer period of exposure. -how do you expect to get a two-year-old to hold still for 12 point anything seconds? she's right, doctor, we tried to have his picture taken a month ago. total bust. we're just pulling up now, dan. there are a lot of police cars gathered. -we'll find out what's going on. call the paramedics now! all right, here's a shot. okay. this is constance winters reporting live from the site... of what will certainly become the most important news story of the decade. -dan, i'm seeing a giant. oh, my god. oh, adam. well, honey, he looks okay. let me see. -do you think this is gonna affect him for life?

-is wayne newton in town? no, they don't do this for wayne newton. it must be somebody bigger. listen, babe, there's nobody bigger than wayne newton in this town. of course, i could be wrong. -peekaboo. is he growing or are we shrinking?

there's nothing that's gonna make him leave. unless he sees something that he wants more. tell your men to pull over. -i think wayne's got an idea. follow that ice-cream truck. we'll need a really big loudspeaker. who can drive an ice-cream truck real fast? i can burn rubber. -well, start burning it. we'll be with you on the walkie-talkie. preston brooks, us marshals. we're commandeering this vehicle. come on. -hey, wait a minute! what's that? it's a tranquillizer cannon. it's used on large mammals. cartridges can incapacitate a target in seconds. -it's like a normal injection, but on a slightly larger scale, of course. frankly, sir, i have kids myself and that just doesn't seem like the type of... well, naturally, captain. this is just a... a last resort. reporting live from the famous glitter gulch where certainly the biggest story of the year is unfolding. -casino owners are understandably upset. they've been ordered to evacuate the area. the answers to many of our questions lie with two key players in this drama... dr clifford sterling of sterling laboratories... what we do know is that a baby... by the name of adam szalinski has somehow measured over 100 feet tall. -stop the clapping. i got a plan. great. 'cause i'm starting to get airsick. we'll pull the thread out of the bottom of the pocket and use it as a rope to slide down. the scene here is one of total confusion and chaos. -but so far all the casinos are still standing. watch out! hi. hey! hey, don't! -what are you doin'?

i think it may be a while before they find us. you're kind of different, nick. -like your dad. we're not all that different. yeah, you are. but when you think about it... i guess the world needs people who are different. -people who see things a little differently, i guess you could say. we'll appear sometime maybe tonight is yours and mine are they okay? yep. -i think we better give 'em a couple of minutes though. what are we gonna do about that? adam, look! big, big, big bunny. what are we gonna do with this? -don't worry. i'll think of something. don't i always?

(theme song begins) hey, cliffie. -hey. what you doing? i'm, uh, writing a little letter here to that russian cosmonaut who's stranded in the space station up there. how are you gonna get it to him? (phone ringing) woody: -cheers. hi, honey. oh, now, let's not go through this again. i thought we already had it decided. we're gonna stay in my apartment. -well, how do you know you don't like it? you haven't seen it yet. trust me, kelly, you're gonna come to love chinatown. now... now, don't forget, our place is the one right next to the shop with the beheaded ducks draining in the window. well, i love you, too. -bye-bye. (smacks lips) what was that all about? well, uh, since our wedding, kelly and i have been living in one of the gaines' guest houses. now she wants to get a house of our own, but i can't afford it, so i think we should just live in my old apartment. -you kept your apartment the whole time? well, i kind of had to. i have a ten-year lease. how did you get stuck with a ten-year lease? i had to do some pretty fancy talking. -i save ten bucks a month. that's money in my pocket. let me ask you something. you-you think kelly's gonna be happy in that little place of yours? well, what does it matter? -i'm the husband- i call the shots. isn't that rather sexist, woody? well you've got to understand. that's how i was brought up. back in hanover, the man is the king of the castle. -when he gives an order, all his wives have to listen. wives, woody? wife. i said wife- singular. (laughing): -i mean, the thought that a man could have more than one wife, that's preposterous. i mean, i... not to mention illegal. i know that. so do all the citizens of hanover. -anybody else curious about hanover? come on, norm, i'm sure it's just a... a normal, rural, small, little farm town. i'm sure woody's stories are all greatly exaggerated. want to go there? what, end up as a human sacrifice to the corn god? -thank you, no. ooh, nobody told me the fleet was in. so... what can i get you, you silver-haired boy toy? i'm looking for rebecca howe. why do you want hamburger when you can have fillet mignon? -she's my daughter. ooh. excuse me, uh... hi there, i'm sorry. uh, did i hear you right, that you're rebecca howe's father? -that's right. captain franklin e. howe, united states navy. oh, i'm sam malone. you know, maybe she mentioned me to you. yes, you're the bright young fellow who tried to have a baby with my daughter without the sanctity of wedlock. -so, my name came up then. i have just one question for you. what the hell were you thinking, boy? what the hell were you thinking? um, well, we were both thinking, sir, that, you know, because we're such good friends... we weren't in love, yes, that's true, but we thought maybe we could be a, you know, -mommy and a daddy without the commitment and the other stuff. i know... i know saying this right now sounds kind of... even to me, it sounds... is it hot in here or is it just me? daddy. -daddy, what are you doing here? i just wanted to see my little pookie. oh! (rebecca giggling) everybody, i want you to meet my father. -you can just call him brig- that's his nickname. they call him brig because he put so many sailors in jail. then, why don't they call me brig? daddy, over here. daddy, i'm so surprised to see you. -is anything wrong? well, to tell you the truth, pookie, your mother and i became a little concerned when we received your last postcard. well, why? it said, "having a wonderful time. -wish i were dead." daddy, why don't you just sit here, and i'll get us a couple of beers or something. everybody, psst, psst, come here, come here. listen, i need your help. listen, my... my dad can be kind of critical, so let's not go into some of the dumber things that i've done while i've worked here. -well, what are we gonna talk to him about? i don't know. you could talk to him about anything. talk to him about the weather. just... my dad sort of thinks that i'm some sort of screw up. -all: no! very funny. it all started when my dad took me as a little girl on a tour of his aircraft carrier, and i... well, to make a long story short, i... i shot something off the boat. -one international incident, and i am branded for life. anyway, i just... it's just very important that he thinks that i know what i'm doing, so let... let's not bring things up like losing the liquor license or, uh... or the flood. and god forbid, do not mention the fire. -she lost the liquor license, and then she flooded the place? that's not the capper. (chuckling): then, she burned it down. oh, pookie. -you burned down the bar. i know, i was gonna tell you, but i thought you'd be mad. i see. it's the playroom incident all over again. pookie, i'm very concerned about you. -i mean, let's review. oh, no, daddy, let's not review. in the past year, you tried to have a baby with a man you weren't married to, you burned down your place of business, and now, according to your last letter, you want another raise in your allowance. uh, excuse me, did you just say, "a raise in her allowance"? -no, he did not say, "raise in allowance". he said... "that old, lazy jack palance." daddy, what say we go have some lunch? come on. -let's talk about the family. how is susan doing? oh, your sister is fine. she got a raise and a promotion. that bitch. -carla: hey, guys. guys, guess what grown-up bar manager is still getting an allowance from her navy dad. who? sam: -an allowance, huh? that explains how she can afford a fancy car and that apartment of hers. boy, imagine somebody getting an allowance at her age, huh? my ma cut me off when i was 30. no ifs, ands or buts, and it hurt, i tell you. -hurt like hell. oh, but it had a happy ending. made you more self-reliant, cliffie? nah, nah, a couple years later, her pension fund went bankrupt. she had to come crawling to me for some dough. -yeah, i just gave her the old horse laugh. what goes around, huh, boys? it's got to be just so demeaning, you know? you're living your life on the dole the whole time... take, take, take. -you want that on your tab? yeah, please. how can she look at herself in the mirror? i would die of embarrassment. how was lunch, sweetheart? -it was terrific. you know, when i was a kid, i used to be afraid of my dad 'cause he was sort of pushy and overbearing, but i'll tell you, we have really learned to communicate. it's just like two adults, one on one. carla: you mean like one adult asks the other one for a raise in their allowance, and the other adult says, "okay, pookie"? -(chuckling) very, very funny, carla. now, now, now, let's not all jump down rebecca's throat. i received a stipend from my father for a time, a little out-of-pocket money to spend as i saw fit on entertainment, what have you. so, you see, i've been through exactly what rebecca's going through right now. -thank you, frasier. and then, i turned 11. hi, woody. oh, hi, honey. did you find the apartment? -yes, mr. smarty-pants, i found it. very funny. now, where's your real apartment? what are you talking about? woody, the place you gave me directions to was this stinky little room with bars on the window and an old farrah fawcett poster on the wall. -hey, i'm married, not dead. kelly: woody, please let my family buy us a house. don't make me go back to that place. kelly, that's our home. -that's all i can afford, and that's where we're gonna live. (sighs) well, mr. "no wife of mine "will have her family buy us a house even if we have to live like peasants" boyd, if you insist, then i guess i have no choice. well, first of all, that's not my name. -and second of all, i do insist. fine, i'll move my furniture in first thing this afternoon. i have to tell you, woody boyd, this is the worst day of my life, and i wish i was dead. bye, everybody. oh. -thank you. hey, pretty boy! where's my daughter? well, she's in the office. you want me to go get her? -no, woody, i think he was talking to me. (chuckles): oh, right. maybe a few years ago. god, this place makes me sick. -bunch of indolent do-nothings sitting around on their fat cans. you know, if you squint really hard, it could be vera. you know, i happen to agree with you there, captain. but then again, uh, we men of uniform tend to think alike. that's not a uniform, that's a costume. -doesn't become a uniform till you strap on a side arm. you ever done that, son? some days, when i'm feeling jittery. rebecca: oh, daddy. -you're back. pookie, i've been doing some thinking. we've got to talk. sit down. not another review. -yes. another review. princess, we have a situation here. now, i've butted out of your life for 39 years. thirty-five, daddy. -honey, i was there. i've come to two decisions. one: i've decided not to up your allowance. two... -i don't want to hear two. well, you're going to. two: i've decided to pull the plug on your boston life. you're coming back home to live with your mother and me. -what? ! i'm sorry to say you've made a mess of things. now, i'm going back to my hotel to pack. i expect you to do the same. -h-hold it a second, daddy. you can't do this to me. i am a grown woman. i'm an adult! i can stand on my own two feet. -you heard me. you're coming back home with me. i hate you! i hate you! i hate you! -i hate you! i wish i was adopted! i wish i was never born! i don't mind telling you that went a lot better than i thought it would. well, malone, how long do you think she can stay in there? -sorry to say, sir, for a long time. there's food in there, there's water, and the sofa pulls out into a bed. well, there's a shock, sex boy. hey. you asked... -daddy, i've thought it over. you were right as usual. so i'll pack my things and come home with you. well, just don't stand there. -wait, wait, wait, you can't, you... you're not just gonna pack up and go live in san diego. why not? who am i kidding? you heard him. -i'm just a failure here in boston. oh, sure, i say it five years ago and get yelled at. you're doing the right thing, sweetheart. your old room is waiting for you. you'll have a chance to regroup, get your life back in order. -yeah, that's how they try to sell it to you, but read the small, fine print, baby. after a couple of weeks, you'll be crazier than a rat in a coffee can. you'd better be running along, sweetheart. you've got a lot to do. i'll meet you back here tonight. -that wait-wait-wait. that's it? you're just gonna do it? well, he is my daddy. -well, well, he... well, you may not be able to do it, but i can. excuse me for a minute, sir. you know, if you don't mind me saying so, i-i don't think you're being fair. -you can't ask her to pack up and go just 'cause you don't think she made it. was it that kind of persuasive arguing that got my daughter into trying to conceive your bastard child? boy, you-you really just can't see your way past that, can you? everyone, i-i-i have something to say to you. i came here to this bar five years ago a strong, independent business woman. -and now i'm going to go back home and move back in with mommy and daddy. you've all really touched my life. captain howe, i normally make it a point not to butt into people's personal affairs, but, sir, you are quite possibly the meanest, most loathsome father i've ever seen. don't get your panties in a bunch, son. she's not going anywhere. -i beg your pardon? i was using reverse psychology. i tell her she's failed and demand that she come home with me. she, in an effort to prove me wrong, stands up to me, tells me off, then refuses to take any more money from her mother and me. we don't even have her old room anymore. -it's a sewing room. oh, that's ni- y-your wife sews, huh? don't impose gender roles on me. trust me. i know my daughter. -it may take a little while, but eventually she'll screw up her nerve, she'll walk through that door, and she'll tell me off. in the meantime, i'll just, uh, stay here and wait. give me a beer. sir, did i ever tell you that, uh, i was in the coast guard? coast guard, huh? -well, you must be very proud, miss. so buy a girl a drink? (groans) kelly: honey, it's open. -uh, kelly? what is all this? you told me to move all my furniture in so i did. why? is there a problem? -well, do you think you laid it out in the best possible way? i don't think it matters, woody. we'll just live in a cramped apartment. all right, you win. i'll call the realtor, and-and, uh... and we'll go look at houses, okay? -you better hurry. i can't feel my legs. as a man who has 30 years of naval experience, i can say in all confidence that if that crew got together and shot gilligan, they'd have been off that island in a week. problem solved. -well, i see it didn't take you long to suck him into your little world there, norm. (chuckles): you kidding? give me an hour with the pope, i'll have him singing the mister ed theme. -so i-i take it rebecca hasn't returned yet? no. i'm getting worried, too, you know. if she was gonna stand up to her father, she'd be here. and i'm afraid she's gonna pack and go home. -god, it'll be nice to get my daughter off the gravy train. finally, i can afford to retire. daddy, i'm ready to go home. uh, uh, just-just a second, pookie. boy, looks like your little plan didn't work, huh, sir? -uh, that-that was not a criticism, but, uh, you know... i-i thought that was gonna work myself. i thought it was a damn good plan. i-i don't understand why it didn't w... it should have worked is what... -is it still hot in here? i'm... pookie, uh, i have a little confession to make. you see, i only asked you to come home with me so, uh, so you would stand up to me. -i was using reverse psychology. wow. yeah. what time does our plane leave? no, no, no, no, no, uh, pookie. -well, you still don't get it. i was throwing down the gauntlet to make you prove that you could take your life in your own hands. oh, come on, daddy, let's get out of here. no, no, no, no. you're a big girl, now. -you don't need me anymore. you can make it on your own. no, i can't, daddy. i do need you. well, how about if, uh, how about if i raise your allowance 25%? -just 25%? well, i'm a bigger failure than that, daddy. you said so yourself. fifty percent. fifty percent. -maybe i can make it. look out, boston. pookie, i love you. i love you, too. but you know, daddy, with the high cost of living and inflation... -okay, okay, okay. seventy-five percent. look, pookie, can i go home now? i got to get to work in the morning. oh, daddy, you work so hard. -when are you gonna get to retire? apparently, when they wrap a flag around me and slide me off the ship. rebecca howe, you shamelessly extorted money from your own father. high five! wait-wait-wait a minute. -so you were never planning to leave? no way. when did you cook this whole thing up? when i went in the office when i was mad, i called my mother to ask her what to do. -huh, mom. becks again. yeah. the fish bit. mother, mother, your cut is in the mail. -"here we are, born to be kings" "we're the princes of the universe" "i am immortal" "i have inside me blood of kings" "i have no rival, no man can be my equal" -"take me to the future of your world" highlander 1x09 "the sea witch" subtitles subxpacio helliman's, helliman's, helliman's... damn! i know it's around here somewhere. -helliman's antiques. maybe it's twelve eight-five. bingo! helliman's antiques. by george w. davis... -what did i ever do to deserve you?

now you pay me all of it. matson, remove your hand! that's a chinese silk shirt! -i'll pay you. harvey, you should've hired me instead of passing me up for zack. now you'll have to hire me to put a bullet in his brain. i'm telling you now, the day i deliver his body i'm gonna want a lot more money than this. and just as a bonus, i' m gonna want zack thomas' job. -like this, you've got me and all this and t exas too. just a touch. you know how i like them. don't say, " oui, monsieur thomas." oui, monsieur thomas. -i apologize for the intrusion, madame carlson. this brute has forced me to wait in the hall and it's important. should i throw him out? throw me out! remember, i'm the president of the bank... -... where your employer does business! i remember. want me to throw him out? no, show him this. sure, boss. -here. i'll be waiting for you in the bedroom. won't take long. i'll be right there. you figure it's the same fellow on the coach? -the one that got away with the money? that's him. why did you let him get away with it? i mean, $100,000. he gave me a story about not having had a hot meal. -beside, what are you so concerned about? it's my $100,000. she want something? i don't think you fit the bill, harv. here, boss. -i think madame wants a shine. what are you gonna do about that $100,000? if you were a young fellow full of beans with $100,000 where would you go? how should i know? i loathe beans. -i figure jarrett would head for some wide-open town. like right here in galveston. when he does, we'll be waiting for him. me and the boys. this picture's buried in my head solid, like a rock. -that'll be all, fifi. thank you very much. don't say, " oui, monsieur thomas." oui, monsieur thomas. shut up, fifi. -ready for a little workout now? we'll go a couple of rounds. let's forget it for today, chad. forget it? but how you gonna relax? -i'll think of something. i'll see you later at the office. sure, boss. oh, here. thanks, boss. -what about the riverboat? have you foreclosed yet? i can't. the note's not due for a few weeks. you know, something tells me you' re not too happy with me. -me? zack, how can you say such a thing? oh, it's not too hard. there was something peculiar about the stagecoach incident. what i mean to say is that the bandits seemed rather well-informed. -zack, what're you saying? what i'm saying is, if anything happens to me there's a brief of notes on you and your friends. understand that? zack, that means you don't trust me. on the contrary, i trust you as much as you trust me. -nice to have seen you, mr. burden. nice to have seen you. you know, she's right. she is indispensable. strawberry! -hey, take a look. yeah, how lucky! he's a doll. when did he get to town? are you sure that's him? -it's him, i tell you. all right. come on, let's go! let's get him. here we are, sir. -the congress hotel. are you sure that's him? yeah, i' m sure. all right. if i can be of any assistance- i' m prince george, at your service. -well, stick around. i may need you. thank you, sir. thank you, sir. the bag. -it's about time. i've been waiting for you. it's good to feel wanted. who are you? they call me angel. -that's not as important as who you are, mr. jarrett. you got my name. what do you want? t o save your life. for a price. -how much? we'll discuss it later. you, max and me. they want what's in that carpetbag. it's not in there. -how honest are you, and who's max? do you have time to doubt me or max? i'll get them for you. you got a point. deposit this in the bank. -bank? the money's in the lining. will you wait a minute? i'll tell you when. here, my good man. -hold this. i'm not your good man. he is! gentlemen, please. why, you ruffians! -son, consider yourself temporized. ain't no money in this bag. it's empty! what do you mean? if you' re lying-- -you want to take a look? go ahead! the little guy. angel. the money must've been in jarrett's coat. -why that-- i'll get that-- you and that rig of yours for sale? we' re for hire, mr. jarrett. maybe you'll make a gentleman of me. -it would be a pleasure. get the bag. you say this fellow jarrett is a lawyer? yes, but none of us are perfect, mr. burden. he seems mighty sure of himself. -you' re certain he didn't-- good morning, mr. wallace. you' re certain he didn't mention any government affiliations? there are some things that mr. jarrett doesn't discuss with me. you, mr. thomas and your partners have nothing to worry about. right? -of course not! our books are always open for examination. the people at galveston savings and t rust are always pleased to welcome a depositor. yes, i figured as much. it's a beautiful day. -there's a smell of money in the-- there's a smell of money in the air today! adieu, mr. burden. adieu. someday, little man, i'll make you a little man. -$1982.63. now, your percentage of that-- just totals. i'll figure percentages. as you wish, mr. thomas. -of course. roulette, $1538. $1500? what happened there? there was trouble with one of the wheels. -you're gonna have to speak up, alfred. if you don't speak any louder i might suspect that you' re knocking down on me. of course, mr. thomas. i'll speak loud. i'll speak real loud. -you see this laryngitis-- you'll have to speak louder. by the way, mr. thomas, these books are in a terribly disoriented state. some of the men make their reports on wednesdays, some on thursdays. by the time i get the figures and put them in the book, the system-- -it's just a little off, alfred. what'd you say about the roulette? nothing, mr. thomas. beat it, alfred. but the figures-- -leave the book here. you got the bag. nice going, chad. thanks, boss. yeah, i got it. -some of it. some of it? it's empty, boss. it's empty, all right. the law of averages caught up with you. -you just made an accurate statement. thanks, boss. did you search him? well, no, come to think of it. the little guy, angel... -... ran off with his pockets. pockets? i mean, with his coat. come in. i've got some news that'll interest you about a deposit that was made in my bank. -a large deposit. he's smarter than i thought. it's only for $75,000, though. what do you think he did with the other $25,000? how do i know? -all i know is it's my money. what do you propose to do about it? as i see it, as a banker the money was deposited quite legally. it is impossible for you or me to lay a finger on it without legal action. you understand, naturally, that such action would freeze it. -you must also understand that anything i can do for you personally i would be happy to do. naturally, harvey, naturally. but tell me, how long do you think this money will be frozen? i wouldn't say the whole process would take more than one or two years. forget about it. -i'll handle it myself, directly. where's he staying? the congress. t ell him i'll see him in 1/2 hour at orlando's. i'm buying. -sure, boss. buying what? lunch. suppose he ain't hungry? t ell him it's where the women are young and the bourbon is aged. -he'll be there. yeah, boss. zack, how are you gonna get that money back? harvey, my boy, i wouldn't be too concerned. i'll figure a way out. -right, but it's $500 short. that's my fee for saving your life. $500? a life comes cheap around here. well, for you i made a special price. -yes siree, and that includes fixing your coat. the minute i saw you, i said to myself, "angel, my boy..." "... now he just might be the boy to do it." do what? cut zack thomas and his crowd down to size. -i traded my suit of armor in for a bank book, right? if you want someone to champion your cause, you got the wrong man. what about the riverboat? they don 't build riverboats big enough for the two of us. riverboat? -max is in trouble. big trouble. i figure a man like you, who doesn't scare so easy-- going someplace? going someplace? -the fight's over. you lost. beat it. yeah, you' re right. that's the way to handle them, boss. -oh, i forgot. mr. thomas wants you at orlando's in 1/2 hour. what's orlando's? it's a restaurant. first-class. -why meet him there? the boss has eaten there every day for four years. i don't think he'll change now. tell him i'll be there in 15 minutes. if he wants to see me he'll do the same thing. -yeah, mr. jarrett. how did you like that? with your head and my muscle, we could run this town. now you're talking my language. i told you, you couldn't come in! -mr. harvey's having his-- i told him not to come in, master harvey. get out. did jarrett deposit the money? yes, but it doesn't make a difference. -it makes a difference to me. now i can kill zack thomas. no, matson. it'll incriminate me, all of us. we'll go to jail. -please. he told me he left a dossier. i'm fed up to here with zack thomas. matson! please, matson. -we'll see, harvey, we'll see. but i ain't making no promises. in that case, i feel obliged to warn zack. no, you won't warn zack, harvey. because if you do i' m gonna put a bullet right into that belly! -i know you' re afraid of spending a long time in jail. but it's a whole lot better than spending a long time dying. aren't you gonna eat your sandwich? well? how can i eat at a time like this? -so long, harv. remember, it's a long time dying. shut up! good day, madame elya. good afternoon, chester. -mr. thomas is inside waiting. good afternoon, madame. good afternoon. how charming you look. how wonderful. -what a charming dress! my dear. i came as soon as-- we'll have two zachariah specials. i'll order lunch later. -yes, mr. thomas. i came as soon as i got your message. but next time do give me some more time. i loathe to get dressed in a hurry. you couldn't be more beautiful if you took three hours. -that's a compliment, i take it. now, darling, tell me, what is so important? jarrett's in town. the man from the wanted poster? he'll be along in a few minutes. -elya, honey, i was wondering-- your drinks, mr. thomas. thank you, fred. t o your health, darling. elya, honey, i was wondering if you-- -what were you wondering, zack? when you get that tone and call me " honey, elya" you' re usually after something. you are the most suspicious woman. i was wondering if you'd be nice to him. nice? -how nice? about $75,000 worth of nice. tell me, darling, this fellow jarrett.... is he at least attractive? from the picture you couldn't tell what he looked like. -he needed a shave. he couldn't look much better even with a shave. he probably has jowls that hang to there. t alk about bags i bet he has satchels like steamer trunks under here. does sound funny, doesn't it? -you'll never know, darling. through laughing? let me in on the joke. i give you a hint, zack. in my country, we have a saying: -"a secret whispered in a coffeehouse is as confidential as a headline." don't look at me so strangely, zack. laugh, please. i don't think it's funny. my darling, this is no time to lose your sense of humor. -i've never known a problem that zack thomas couldn't handle. no thanks, fritz. thank you, sir. as i was saying, dear, life is much, much too short to.... you? -not me. him. that's an awful fall he took. i suppose you think i should thank you. look out, zack! -fancy place for target practice. anybody we know? only too well. if you ain't out of galveston by sundown, you'll be real dead. get him out of here. -you heard mr. thomas. get him out of here. imagine a thing like that in a place like this. what a mistake. you should've shot his gun hand. -won't make any difference. shoot it off, i'll still get you. shoot out my eyes, i'll still find you! put a bullet in my heart, i'll make a deal with the devil! i'll trade for enough time to come back and kill you! -you hear me? i'm going to kill you! remember to stay out. isn't it awful? he's loud, isn't he? -if you ever need a friend i wouldn't count on that character. he had a darling bead centered in the middle of your forehead. if he'd missed me an inch either way, we'd be at your darling funeral. okay, that makes us even. not quite. -still a little matter of $100,000. yeah, now i remember. if you'd remembered to be slower you'd be a bit richer. yeah, i gotta remember that for the next time. charming. -just charming. very grateful, this friend of yours. oh, yes. i thought you knew. and very generous too. -thanks for recognizing me. you knew he was there all the time? i' m sorry, zack. i couldn't resist. i' m glad you didn't. -would you like to join us? gentlemen, excuse me. i don't feel quite up to a chatty little lunch. you have things to talk about. that's right, we have. -i'm sorry i can't lend a hand at the moment. perhaps later. in fact, it will be a pleasure. goodbye, my dear. au revoir, gentlemen. -good afternoon. let's get down to business. i drink much better standing. lead on. i'll follow. -you'll understand if i get my hat? you won't need it, but i'll understand. brandy. yes, mr. thomas. mr. jarrett, how many states would you say you' re wanted in? -how many states are there? i could get you a pardon in t exas. for how much? $100,000. i give you $100,000, and you'll get me a pardon? -in most states, i could buy a pardon for $5000... ... as well as a governor. you' re thinking of rhode island. this here's t exas. and here, your life goes with it. -now, i'd be no good to you dead. the money would go to my heirs. wife? well, not exactly. it's like an old friend. -a good friend. and, well, then there are the kids. lkids? all 25 of them. twenty-five? -you must have the fastest horse in t exas. have more of this to keep your strength up. zack! i was just coming to see you. i know, but please, l-- -this is jarrett. this is joe jarrett? why, drinking like friends. zack, may i see you in private? that's fine. -i was on my way to draw out some of my money from your bank. matson tried to kill me. i had nothing to do with it. i swear on my sacred word of honor. on your what? -i believed you about that dossier and i have loyalty to my board. i don't know what matson was thinking. i told him this was no time to-- i'm not putting a bullet in your big fat head because i might need you. but i may not need you for long. -sweet blackberries! shrimp! clams! get your crawfish right off the shrimp boat! strawberries! -how does it look to you? man, if somebody's looking for splinters, this is the place. there's something about that old boat, mr. jarrett. i won't believe it until i see noah come off of that deck. this is really a fine boat. -a little paint... ... to fix her up and she'd be ready-- ready to fall apart. you should announce yourself. if i gave a real loud yell the vibration would cause this tub to collapse. -you better duck. the hat isn't worth anything. it means money in the bank. i've never ducked from anybody in my life. do that again, i'll shoot through your water line. -duck! you don't know max. the unknown don't scare me. christopher columbus' blood flows through my veins. are you all right, mr. jarrett? -i remembered christopher couldn't swim. don't worry, i'll get you out. max, hold it! angel, throw him that life preserver. we'll get you out in a jiffy. -i wanted to wait until saturday to take a bath. here! oh, i'm sorry. you trying to save me or sink me? over your head. -that's it. here, george! hold onto this belt. you' re doing fine. you' re just a bit wet, that's all. -fine southern hospitality. invite me to buy a boat and you try to drown me. right, you' re looking great. just a little wet, that's all. there you are. -come down here to help a friend. what do they do? they-- it's still a fine boat. i' m sorry, max didn't mean nothing. -when max does mean something, i hope i' m not around. wait till you meet max, though. oh, you' re gonna-- boy, oh, boy! max, meet mr. jarrett. -mr. jarrett, maxine richter. howdy, ma'am. an unwritten law of the sea says i must make you welcome. come aboard. yes, ma'am. -the firing must have been a 21 -gun salute. by the way, which unwritten law do i come under? the law of hospitality to a man overboard. i'm not overboard yet. not quite yet, but i will admit just a little push might do it. -max. why do you come here? he wants to help you, miss maxie. by looking at me that way? well, don't let the inflamed eyes fool you. -i always look like that when i go swimming. max is as gentle as a kitten, when you get to know her. being welcomed, can i get out from under the rifle and into dry clothes? come inside. you can change in my cabin. -what? it's an unwritten law. an unwritten law. that's right. unwritten law. -my glass is empty. coming, joe. who belongs to this kimono? my husband. your husband? -he was shot dead in a poker game last year. t oo bad. a professional gambler? not professional enough, apparently. now you're looking for somebody to provide you with security. -right? the boat is my security. i'm looking for a deal. if somebody wanted to fix it up as a casino, for instance i would be interested in any proposition. i like the service here. -i could make you a proposition. good. i have a couple of questions for you. you go right ahead. i want to be totally clear. -i have no complaints about the hospitality. you have been pleased? yes. it was a pleasure being aboard. but i was just wondering about a few little details. -why did you take those shots at me? the men here think a european woman is available, just like so. but the shots were a warning. i can be approached... ... but on my own terms. -i see. courtship, european-style. i like it, except the first few minutes. i wasn't trying to hit you. it was how you say, a come-along. -" come-along "? a come-on? a come-on. a 30-caliber come-on. what was with the crockery and the slap in the face? -is that more of that maidenly resistance? no. that was for the benefit of the hired help. a girl's got her reputation. not my reputation, yours. -those two will serve you better if they think you are masterful. i think i'm being used. no. you're not being used, you're being served. i'm being served? -but why me? why was i elected? why not zachary thomas, for instance? i was giving him the come-along too. then angel told me you got the money. -fortunately, i like honesty in a partner. all right, honey. i'll throw in the money. have it fixed up. we'll be equal partners. -equal partners will not work. i don't take orders too good. but i do. you will give the orders. you will be the master. -i give the orders? all right. make that new. go on. another drink. -yes, sir. what i don't understand about european women is why you want me to be lord and master when i... ... offered you a partnership? it's my training, joe. how things should be between a man and a woman. -a man as a partner, i don't understand. but a master.... a master, him i know how to handle. don't go away, max. i just thought of another order. -we' re in business. maybe we' re in business. i never saw a lady barber before. are there barber schools for ladies? no, i learned as a girl. -i remember mama went after papa with a razor a few times. zack, why are you letting them fix up that old tub? why would a lady of your breeding and background... ... want to be a barber? the money. -at the moment it's all under his name in your bank. how am i gonna get ahold of it? breeding is acquired. by legal action. being a barber gives you breeding? -but that would take time. i thought i'd try to sabotage his effort to renovate. do you think this fellow would discourage easily? no. when we're done, they'll be glad to sell the boat for $7.12. -all right, next. name? mancini. pete mancini. pete mancini. -all right, next. name? fred welsh. in the saloon, mancini. max'll give you the uniform. -no guns. what if there's any trouble? clubs, hammers, fists, feet. anything but guns. now move it. -next. five more men, mr. jarrett. all right, bring 'em on down. come on. no. -you must look as though you were born to it. i was born to an alcoholic daddy who liked all the dollies. i figure daddy was right. go find your alcohol and your dollies somewhere else. now get out! -all right. what would your daddy say to that? why you.... joe! all right, get rid of him. -tell zack i got his message and i'll deliver his reply personally. oh, men! anybody else with comments on what they like or not? can i see you for a moment? sure. -why not? why are you going ashore to see zack thomas? every square inch of paint we scraped around here zack feels like it's coming off his hide. he sent him to start trouble. he sends one stupid little man to slow us down? -he paid that man to insult me so you'd go into zack's territory with that red in your eye. if that was his plan, it worked. do you have any reason to think i admire zack thomas? you gave him the old come-along. i heard you been shooting a lot of ammunition to flirt with casanova. -don't shoot at him again. if you raise the rifle at other men, i'll break it over your pretty skull. joe, there is no reason to be jealous. all right, so i gave zack thomas a little come-along. but, joe, i didn't let him come aboard. -good afternoon, mrs. t rowbridge. good afternoon, williams. good afternoon, madame t rowbridge. good afternoon. madame elya will be with you soon. -thank you. isn't it lucky? now we both got fellows. of our own. shall we -yes, we shall. it's showtime, mr. jarrett. i could've outfitted an army by now. not this kind of army, boss. we are ready, monsieur. -that is gorgeous. would you care to sit here? beautiful. how do you like it? just ease it across the hips a little and bring up the neckline. -i understand how it is when one contemplates marriage. marriage? marriage is for married people. now that you're serious, you're already acting like a husband. i am definitely not a husband and i never intend to become one. -marriage has nothing to do with it. it's all right if she wants to go-- in the altogether, joe? put it any way you want-- if you show them everything, they may not come back. -that's part of it. good afternoon, zack. elya, you look absolutely charming. you've succeeded in gilding the lily. and that's some lily-gilding. -if you will excuse me, i have so many other lilies to gild. may i, bill? yes, sir. when are you planning to open? when the workmen are finished. -that's too bad. we hardly know each other. there's hardly been time with all your other interests and... activities. that's true. we've all been very busy in our own little way. -madame. joe. may the best man win. so far there's no contest. so far. -the game isn't over yet. right. i hear the northwest docks might be condemned. what does he mean, joe? he means our customers can't cross the docks to get to the boat. -not cross the docks? and it's a shame, too, isn't it? after spending all of that nice money. but there are other docks. yes, there are other docks. -but they're all controlled by mr. harvey burden. right? your grasp of the situation is precise. t oo bad because there isn't another berth in galveston. i think you might be interested. -thank you, bill. you'll excuse me. see you later, darling. yes, of course. shall we? -we shall. boss, take a look. " consigned and insured by mr. zack thomas." so it's an insurance job? find out if there are any survivors. -it says that all are lost. if i' m right, there's one survivor. the one who got paid to pull the plug. you go find him. leave it to me. -i'll find him. one gross lot lavender smelling salts, 500-- ladies' saloon? that's a mistake. it should have been "salon," not "saloon." -i' m not so sure. with these prices, it'd be cheaper to drink. do me a favor, max? will you get me some coffee? black. -strong. joe? yeah? how do you like my new negligée? it's fine. -you look good in anything. max, will you get me the coffee please? the galley's so far away and the fire is probably out. i have some brandy in my cabin. yes, sure. -i want coffee. she wants brandy. women. you can see right through them! i didn't remodel a boat, i bought a fleet! -do you mind spending money for things you really want? not if it's something i really want. what's money? i'm glad you feel that way. men who worry about little things bore me. -brandy? perhaps you prefer to have something else? oh, no, this is fine. no, it's fine. oh, poor joe, you were so thirsty. -you didn't notice what i' m wearing. you' re wearing something? if you don't like it-- no. dear, there's a draft out there. -you can sit down here. you can catch a cold. i like men who worry about me. don't worry. i' m a great worrier. -sometimes i worry for months on end. after this afternoon, you might think my gown is too revealing. do you think my gown is too revealing? no. t oo many clothes, you get overheated. -it's unhealthy. but earlier, at madame elya's, you said they were too revealing. oh, i must have been crazy. perhaps you feel like most american men do. i don't feel any less. -i guarantee you that. most american men pretend to dislike in public what they prefer in private. i'm not into crowds. but if you want audience, you go to a saloon. how do you feel about marriage, joe? -fine, but who'd have us? oh, no, max. you' re not thinking about marriage? of course not. why should i think about marriage? -that's why i like you, max. you got brains. you think like a man. i'm glad, joe. then it doesn't bother you that i'm a woman? -with what you got on, i'd be in trouble if you were a man. after the boat opens and you're a success, what'll you do then, joe? count money. it can't be very much fun alone. there'd be you and me. -just the two of us? you' re talking about a crowd again. it might be less drafty in my cabin, joe. i'll go close the windows. the windows are already closed. -i'll go open them. it's healthier. will you do it for me, joe? open the windows in my cabin? oh, come on, max. -if i go to that cabin, we know what's gonna happen. you'll be thinking about marriage again. but i think like a man, joe. you said so. you don't look like a man. -please, joe. no. joe, please? no! please, joe. -i'll be in here, joe. i'll wait for you. please, joe. no. joe, please. -why should i be strong? i found him! me, angel. the sole survivor of the spindrift. the spindrift? -. come. i'll take you to him. let's go! well, you' re coming? -i' m coming. oh, men! what was that? the wind. there's a hell of a storm coming up. -hey, then what's that? the storm's getting worse. mr. burden hired me to scuttle the spindrift. burden? with or without cotton? -without. burden made a deal with a broker, insured the cotton then we left it on the dock and sailed out empty. couple of days later i scuttled the boat. came back here. t o collect from burden. -i collected all right. a full load in the guts. i better get him out of here, mr. jarrett. he won't be much of a witness without that hole plugged up. looks like our witness just ran out on us. -as far as anyone knows he's still alive and ready to talk. where are they? in your office. my office? why my office? -they said it'd be all right. come right in. make yourself at home. we've been waiting for you. so i see. -real cozy place you got here, mr. burden. sit down, mr. burden. mr. jarrett wishes to talk to you. last night we talked with the owner of that hat. you couldn't have. -there weren't any survivors. crew's all dead. all dead? not this one. he's on his way to north t exas, where he'll be safe. -if you want us to send for him and bring him back-- i don't understand you, harvey. he just plain blackmailed you. why did you sign the lease? zack, please. -i told you i signed impulsively to... to protect you. i was afraid they would hang you. hang me? don't be ridiculous! i wouldn't touch a false insurance claim. -let alone scuttle a ship and murder 35 men! what gave you the idea he had a case? i don't know. what're we gonna do about jarrett and his gambling boat? you don't leave me much choice. -he now has the dock rights. but don't worry. opening night will be closing night. i hope so. i sometimes feel i don't have the intestinal fortitude for this job. -i think guts is the word, harv. what you don't have is guts. that could well be. i expect to see you and the missis at the opening. we wouldn't want jarrett to think we forgot our manners, would we? -no, i guess not. good morning, madame carlson. what's bothering him? harvey's not thrilled about going to the opening. you're not allowing them to open that ridiculous boat? -them or they may be just a lot brighter than all of us. and another thing. you are going to the opening. don't bother to ask any questions, because i want you to go. any other questions?

please quit. before they kill you. -if they do, you'll be busy whipping up a mourning outfit and forget about me. zack! what? kiss me? ikissing you is always a pleasure, darling. -there she is. all done. i think she looks pretty damn good. she looks beautiful. joseph, i'm really proud of you. -you did a wonderful job. our boat. it looks fantastic. not me, max, us. all of us made our boat look fantastic. -want me to try, mr. jarrett?

it's the oldest military tactic. ikeep the enemy fighting among themselves. let them fight. let them beat each other to a pulp. -then we'll move in on mr. jarrett and mr. thomas with 200 men. fresh men. and here's the man i've taken care of and nurtured to be the leader of our gladiators. gentlemen, an old friend of yours. why, it's matson. -that's right, gentlemen. mr. matson. wonder when he got back. he looks fully recovered. he sure does. -can he still use his gun hand? matson, tell the gentlemen how carefully we planned our skirmish. what signal do i give when i' m on the boat and you' re waiting with your men? jarrett will use the boat whistle when zack attacks and when you want me, just double that signal. simple. -this may just prove to be one of the bloodiest arenas in history. gentlemen, tonight's opening would not be possible without your help. ikeep in mind this is la maison rouge not the last chance saloon and this will be a memorable night for galveston and a profitable one for us. be on your best behavior. it's very simple. -when in doubt, just smile. if you' re in doubt, call on renee. renee has been appointed maitre d'hôtel. that means " headwaiter." you all know what to do. -mr. jarrett would like to say a few words. remember one thing. no rough stuff unless you hear the whistle. if it looks like trouble with uninvited visitors angel will give two blasts on the pipe. right? -right. then you go all out. we must catch them at the dock. have you got that straight? good luck to all of us. -wait for the customers? do you really think there will be any? if nothing else brings them out, that dress will. you like it?

this jarrett's a clever fellow.! so that's the notorious maxine richter. max, to her friends. do you think zack thomas will let jarrett get away with it? -i see we are honored by some of the oldest families in galveston. and by some of the youngest wives. mr. and mrs. winthrop t rowbridge. mr. and mrs. harvey burden! good evening. -mr. jarrett. it's a pleasure to welcome you both. mr. burden. we' re having more fun. very gratifying. -very gratifying indeed. come along, evelyn. i see some friends. deal, deal, deal. pay 18. -thank you. credit these to my account. yes, mr. godfrey. ladies, shall we? how about that? -that's right, arthur godfrey. presenting madame elya carlson! stop staring, william. who's staring? what an entrance. -look at those diamonds. they look real. quite a sight, max? if you like the type. oh, it takes all kinds-- -if elya's here, then zachariah can't be far behind. hey, boss. boss. they' re here, they' re here. well, come on. -mr. and mrs. jacques byrnes. you be ready when i tell you. you bet. maestro, please. ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please? -miss maxine will say a few words. ladies and gentlemen, some visitors are about to drop in unexpectedly. mr. jarrett will meet them on the dock and explain that we are full. it might take some convincing. but no one here will be harmed. -in the meantime, have fun. we have spared no expense to make la maison rouge your pleasure home away from home. and if you'll just continue to enjoy yourself mr. jarrett will rejoin us shortly. please, be our guests, drink up. maestro. -men, let's go. come on. hustle it up. everybody, let's go. oh, it's zack thomas. -men, get into position. i hope jarrett knows what he's doing. just like we planned it. shape up, boys. shape up. -don't start anything unless mr. jarrett says so. good evening. you have a reservation? this boat was my idea. we' re taking over as of now. -this is opening night. by the time your men and my men figure out who's taking over, nothing will be left. if the boat is wrecked and a customer gets hurt.... you mean there'll be no more gold mine. what do you suggest? -i don't like to louse up a new sporting jacket, but maybe you and i could settle this between us. winner take all. i got more men. you' re trying to even up the odds. maybe you were man enough to bet on yourself for a change. -want to show off, huh? and you don't, huh? well, how about it? don't look for no favors, joe. don't let him get away with that! -that's just not cricket. i said, don't look for no favors. the one who's on his feet when this is over wins it all. everything? gift-wrapped, everything. -winner take all. everybody out of it. just zack and me. everybody out. all of you. -and you too, and you too. hold it! stay here until we hear that whistle. you three, and you three, stay with me. wait a minute! -you heard what he said. we'll wait and see who'll come out upright! what did you say? i said upright! hold it. -hold, hold. that dirty rat burden! i know why he wouldn't give you access to this dock! he let the spindrift sail empty and then scuttled it. he probably intends to sell me my own cotton. -nice reliable fellow to do business with. i won't hand you galveston on a silver platter. you'll have to take it. come on in, max. i won't go for that old joke. -no, zack. i really didn't think you would. now, this fight has rules. i'm here to break the rules. why not? -you got the gun. all right, let's go. remember! zack thomas belongs to me. well, if i have to die i prefer being killed by the hand of a beautiful woman. -if you're not careful, my darling, you might have your wish. honey! not yet. grown men acting like little schoolboys. i suggest you both become partners in everything, including cotton. -i don't like partners. hey, boss! they're coming. harvey burden's men. matson is leading them! -how many? about a couple of thousand. how many? at least 200. partners? -partners. welcome, partner. partners. all right, listen to me. jarrett and i are partners. -that puts us all together. let's deploy and protect the boat. come on, ladies. andiamo, andiamo. what's the matter with you? -you heard him. you and i'll fight together now, chad. against who? against them, that's who! that don't seem right, fighting together. -why? why? because they are the bad guys, that's why! ain't we the bad guys? no, we're the good guys! -let's go! i' m frightened, sam. we'll stay and see the fun. ladies, everything'll turn out fine. he's got an army with him. -don't be afraid to use them torches. this'll be some bonfire. get set, men. get ready, come on. all right, let's go. -don't let those rats on the boat. watch the torches, they may try to burn it down. all right, let's get them. my eyes! keep them off the boat! -i'll take care of them, boss. you ain't taking care of me. looking for somebody? matson i feel better when i know what he's doing. me too! -get that daring young man. seen matson? not yet. i've been thinking. you' re liable to blow burden up, too. -he wants this boat blown up. i can't help it if he's on board. don't think. wait for me, you understand? it's matson. -up there on the wheel. all right, mr. matson. it's your deal. looks like the water's on fire. because he's arranging that deal with the devil. -i'm laying eight to five he doesn't make it back. come along with us, mr. burden. the u.s. marshal would like to see you. some misunderstanding about the spindrift. probably nothing at all. -harv! don't call me "harv"! ready. you're going to treasure this picture. and you' re lucky to have married two such lovely, innocent girls. -don't tell me how to spell! i was only trying to help. i know how to spell! with four for t exas in the mood they'll have themselves a real fine brood. like me? -yes, like you. good guys always get married and live happily ever after. if it don 't turn out too good, zack and me figure we can light out. and, oh yeah, this is the end. you unlock this door with the key of imagination. -beyond it is another dimension- a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. you're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. you've just crossed over into the twilight zone. i have an appointment with mr. feathersmith. -oh, yes, mr. deidrich, he's expecting you, sir. right this way. oh, wow. i could just see him now. -that big, happy grin on his face just before he draws the blood. "have a cigar, mr. deidrich, before i rip you to pieces. "but i must have my little fun first. have a cigar." -have a cigar, mr. deidrich. thank you, no, mr. feathersmith. you asked me to come here at 2:00; it is now 2:00. -what did you have on your mind? hmm, you never have cared for my habits have you, mr. deidrich? whether i do or don't is not at issue, mr. feathersmith. -but the extent of time you keep me here is, on the other hand, of considerable import. i'm a busy man, let's get on with it. we've come a pretty far route, haven't we, the two of us? so? so, it's odd how our lives seem to crisscross back and forth. -i owe you a great deal, mr. deidrich, i really do. i remember vividly one afternoon when you called me into your office, and said: "bill feathersmith, i like your style, boy. i want you in with me." -you remember that afternoon, mr. deidrich? i shall never forget it. i have given it a good deal of thought in the ensuing years and shall never cease to regret it. you never did like me. -i wouldn't say that, mr. feathersmith. i wouldn't say that i... never did like you. i have disliked and detested you with great cordiality. -i have found you to be from the moment you came into my office a predatory, grasping... conniving, acquisitive animal of a man. without heart, without conscience without... compassion. without even a subtle hint of the common decencies. shall we go on from there? i give you this, mr. -deidrich: you never were one to toady around with phony euphemisms. you always did speak your mind. and you, mr. feathersmith, this is perhaps the singular compliment i can dredge up: -you've always been a man to speak yours. so why don't you? all right, then. i'll dopreciselythat. this... is my empire, mr. -deidrich. mining, steel, electronics, lumber, railroads, minerals, manufacturing... it's been a step-by-step, piece-by-piece building up of an industrial complex that i take pardonable pride in. but there is one... piece... missing. that is to say, therewas one piece missing... the deidrich tool and die company employing 13,000 men. -a good and substantial plant in operation some 40 years. not always perfectly managed, but adequately managed. sufficiently well-managed to make you move heaven and earth to try to buy it on the first monday of each month. but thank heaven i won't live to see the day when you stick your greasy-ham fists into it. you call it well-managed. -you're speaking comparatively, of course. i'm speaking of that little matter of your financial problems. i happen to know for a fact that you secured a loan for $3 million... a loan payable on demand. here is the note. i bought up that note, mr. -deidrich. i paid an exorbitant amount of money for it... more than it was worth. but it was, well, shall i say, an excellent opportunity- an opportunity for our lives to crisscross again. so, to the point: it reads, "payable on demand." -so, mr. deidrich, on demand, it is. i am calling this note. i want it paid... $3 million not tomorrow... not this evening around suppertime... now, mr. -deidrich, this moment! i want your personal check in that amount or i'll have to send a few sign painters out to the deidrich tool and die company and have them cross off the name deidrich! feathersmith... if you call that note... you'll bankrupt me. you'll kill off everything i have. -everything i own... everything. witness a murder. the killer is mr. william feathersmith, a robber baron whose body composition is made up of a refrigeration plant covered by thick skin. -in a moment, mr. feathersmith will proceed in his daily course of conquest and calumny with yet another business dealing. but this will be one of those bizarre transactions that take place in an odd marketplace known as... the twilight zone. miss pepper, miss pepper! yes, sir? -take me down, young man. take me all the way down... if there's anyplace lower than this floor. excuse me, sir, uh, i didn't know you were here. well, i am here, lafayette. i am most assuredly here. -andhereis the mountaintop. high rung on the ladder, way up on the mountaintop. like, now, what... let's see, what was his name... genghis khan? genghis... khan... feathersmith? -what's the matter with me? who are you, anyway? hecate, sir, custodian of the top three floors. and so, you're hecate, custodian of the top three floors, hmm? you... have a drink, hecate, custodian of the top three floors. -thank you, no sir, but i appreciate that. tell me, how long have you been performing this illustrious task? 34 years, sir. i've been in this building for 34 years. i got a... got a gold watch last year. -a gold watch... 34 years in the building. your aggressive self-assurance unnerves me, hecate. that's practically as long as i've been in the building. but i didn't start here, hecate. -no, indeed, i started in a little town called cliffordville. cliffordville, indiana. you ever hear of it, hecate? it's a coincidence, sir, i was born in cliffordville. i grew up there. -well, well, well, we're very much alike. both from cliffordville we both put on our pants one leg at a time and there, the similarity ends. cliffordville, hmm? well, that was areal town, wasn't it, hecate? a real place. -when a man could go up to the moon if he had a mind to and the legs to carry him and fingers to stretch out and grasp. hmm, not like now. hmm... no... not like now at all. genghis khan... feathersmith, hmm. -alexander the great... feathersmith. i've got everything there is to get... but i'm still hungry. he cried because he had no more worlds to conquer. what? -that was alexander the great. he cried because he had no more worlds to conquer. i guess... i guess maybe he was... kind of like you, mr. feathersmith. you know something, hecate? -i wish i could go back to cliffordville and begin again, i mean start all over. you see, getting it, that was the kick... getting it, not having it. good night, mr. hecate, custodian of the top three floors. don't forget to wind your gold watch. -just one minute. you left me off at the wrong floor. this isn't the lobby. how do you do, sir? who are you? -devlin, first name's not important. i own this building. i'm aware of that, mr. feathersmith. i'm aware of that, but i'm not aware of you having an office here, whoever you are. -oh, i just opened it up. as a matter of fact i've opened it foryourconvenience. won't you sit down? why? why, because, we've got some business to transact, you and i. -and there's no reason why we shouldn't be comfortable. go on, mr. feathersmith, you were saying? hmm? oh, the name of the town was cliffordville. -ah, yes, cliffordville. and it was a pleasant town? of course it was pleasant. it was better than pleasant. there was a girl there, name of gibbons. -father was president of the bank. beautiful girl. and you enjoyed this, didn't you, mr. feathersmith? i didn't have time to enjoy anything. -i worked! worked! i dug, i scratched, i pushed, i drove. i went up... up! you understand that? -and now you're up. you're all the way up. and... you're simply bored. that's what you are, mr. feathersmith, plain bored. -it's worse than bored. i'm ruthless now. i... just have no purpose, no plans. i have no drive because there's no place to go. what about this... -stuff on your door? a very succinct suggestion of the services i render, mr. feathersmith... travel... time travel. miss devlin... let's you and i talk something over. indeed, mr. -feathersmith i had intended that we should. let me suggest a possible transaction. you say you're bored, you've got everything you want. the pleasure's not in the possession it's in the desperate struggle to possess. that's the sense of it, isn't it, mr. -feathersmith? go on. let's do this: let's send you back to cliffordville the cliffordville of years ago. you can start all over again. -acquire, build, consolidate- how does that sound? miss devlin, you are not dealing with a fool now. i am not one of your "sell your soul for a nickel" country bumpkins. -try this. send me back in time to cliffordville. but i want to look exactly as i did then... that's number one. agreed. number two: -i want to have a memory of everything that's occurred in the last 50 years. i don't want that memory impaired one bit! check again, mr. feathersmith. i want that town exactly as it was with the same people that i remember. -allveryeasily arranged. anything else? i want it to happen right away. time is of absolutely no essence. you name the hour... that is the hour you shall have. -now, as to the price. yes, mr. feathersmith, as to price. well, i suppose thestandardpayment is, um, well, i guess you'd call it the soul. on occasion, mr. -feathersmith that is part of the transaction. but in your case, we got a hold of your soul some time ago, i believe. let me check this. ah, here it is. there was the crash of the trans-mississippi debentures, the company you'd bought and then manipulated. -you ruined several hundred people with that chicanery. there were four suicides as a result. i believe the bulk of your soul went over to us shortly thereafter. there are several other items here under private life, volume nine. business transactions... subconscious thoughts and dreams. -ah, here we are... indirect murders. people you drove to ruin and poverty hopelessness, ultimate death. no, mr. feathersmith, i'm afraid your soul is not yours to negotiate. -then whatdoyou charge? cash. the long green leaf lettuce... currency. i have your current assets tabulated here. were you to liquidate as of this moment you'd be worth precisely $36,891,412.14. -you're very thorough. we have to be thorough, mr. feathersmith. now, the cost for what you ask is nominal. the entire cost, and that includes transportation back, clothing, retaining of your memory, maintenance of the town in its historically accurate form including its citizenry is, uh, $36,890,000 leaving you a balance of... -$1,412.14. you robber! mr. feathersmith, $1,412.14 is... quite a little nest egg, considering... oh, perhaps, miss devlin, perhaps, considering i know where the oil is just outside of town. ah, that's 1400 acres not discovered until, uh, let's see, it was 1937 when they brought in the first well. and i know the nature of the stock market- which stocks will rise, which stocks will fall. -i know every invention that's been perfected in the last 50 years. i can get in on the ground floor. the ground floor? why, the basement, sir. $1,412.14... is a fortune. -good, when do i start, how soon? i can handle the liquidation for you. just sign this power of attorney and there's no reason why you can't leave immediately. anything else? i think not. -i think i might be able to sweeten the pot a bit for you. this very attractive banker's daughter, for example. i could fix that up for you most handily. do away with a traditional lengthy courtship... the ritualistic formalities of the time. no, forget it. -i'm going to work for everything. that's the fun of it, that's the kick! i'm going to work for everything! you just send me back with the 1,400-odd bucks and watchmysmoke, sister! ha, exemplary, mr. -feathersmith, really exemplary. you're one of the few remaining rugged individualists of our time. it's a pleasure doing business with you. now, good-bye. you'll arrive in cliffordville at noon tomorrow. -that's noon of the year 1910. and needless to say, mr. feathersmith, i wish for you everything that you deserve. little lady, you don't have to wish anything for me. i get everything i go after, everything! -i believe you, mr. feathersmith. i have no doubt whatsoever. this is your captain speaking. we are crossing the indiana state line. -for those of you who are interested we have just gained an hour. cliffordville. this stop is cliffordville. cliffordville. the devil, you say. -all aboard. twilight zonewill continue after station identification. what's the matter, can't you pave the roads around here? hey, van winkle. you want something, sir? -yeah, something. that yellow flag bit... what's the holiday? oh, them? yes, them. -typhoid flags; they got typhoid over there. typhoid? haven't those idiots ever heard of innocu... oh, no, they haven't, have they? no, not this year. well, go back to sleep, rip, i'll wake you when i need you. -huh. that's old man hecate! you got a great future, jack. a great future. i beg your pardon, sir. -mr. deidrich, isn't it? you, uh, have the advantage, sir. yes, i do indeed. but we'll get into that later on. wonderful having this... little chat. -sit down, mr., uh... mr. feathersmith. i'll only be a moment, sir. this is my lunch hour and i never let business interfere with pleasure. -and i never let pleasure interfere with business. the name is feathersmith. i'm not a peddler, drummer, or door-to-door salesman. i'm here to make myself rich. in the process, you can lick up a few crumbs. -i beg your pardon? the widow turner's land, is it available? the widow turner's land? there were 1400 acres. 1400 acres? -is there an echo here or would it help if i hired an interpreter? no, indeed, mr. feathersmith, no, indeed, it's just that, uh, well, sir, you're talking about a very valuable piece of property. i'm talking about widow turner's land, south end of town. indeed, indeed, beautiful spot. -1400 extravagantly lovely acres. singing birds and constant sunshine. it's a garden of eden for a man with vision and the potential is unlimited. it's a swamp for mosquitoes and the potential is malaria. tell me who owns it and how much they want for it. -well, as a matter of fact, that land was purchased from the estate of the late mrs. turner by yours truly in partnership with a mr. sebastian deidrich here in town. we each own half of it. deidrich, huh? -well, do you suppose that you and mr. deidrich could bepersuaded to part with it assuming the price is within reason? well, as valuable as that land is, uh... well, sir, uh, everything has its price. how does $4.00 an acre sound to you? lovely... fine. -if i were an idiot. but i am not an idiot, mr. gibbons. i'll give you 50 cents an acre. why don't we strike toward a compromise and say... $3.00? -let's say 75 cents. you're a driver of a hard bargain, mr. feathersmith. however, both myself and mr. deidrich might hold still... for, uh... $2.00 an acre. -hmm. mr. gibbons, you wouldn't hold still for a back rub if you couldn't convert it into currency. one buck an acre, and that's it. a dollar an acre, you say? all right, a dollar an acre, i say. -and in eight seconds, it'll go down to 80 cents. going... going... gone, mr. feathersmith. and i presume this will be a cash transaction? you just bring the deeds to my hotel tonight properly signed and notarized and i'll have your money. -well, now, sir, this is the way i like to have a transaction. no fiddling around. just two staunch men of goodwill who know what they want. don't you agree, mr. feathersmith? -i agree with you right down the line, mr. gibbons assuming both your hands are visible. and i amnota widow or an orphan. you have a daughter, mr. gibbons. -why... why, yes. oh, do you mind? oh, no, please... joanna is her name. yes. and as pretty a slice of peach pie as ever went on a hayride. -mr. feathersmith, that... you're being insulting. no, mr. gibbons, i am not being insulting. i am being candid, i am speaking my mind. i know what i like, and i ask for it and i generally get it. -now, let's meet this little doll. so i told daddy when he told me that you were downstairs, i said, "it's about time we had a sophisticated man in this town." didn't i say that, daddy? oh, have another bon-bon, mr. feathersmith. -uh, no. oh, they're delicious. mm. this one's a cream. mm, a real good cream. -oh, i just love cream. don't you like cream, mr. feathersmith? oh, well... oh, i love them. -they're just goodie-goodie. well, anyway, when it was july, we all went to my aunt bertha's in maine. have you ever been to maine, mr. feathersmith? uh... -i love swimming. i just adore the ocean. i'm the best swimmer in my class, huh, daddy? have another bon-bon, mr. feathersmith. -no thank you. they're goodie-goodie. hmm? oh, oh. wh-why don't you sing for us, joanna? -i'm sure mr. feathersmith would love that. oh, i think he'd be bored with music on this hot afternoon. wouldn't you, mr. feathersmith? -oh, well, if you insist. ? every little movement has a meaning all its own? ? every thought and feeling? -? by some posture can be shown? ? and every love song that comes a-stealing? ? -o'er your being must be revealing? ? all its sweetness...? ah, you, uh... you don't have another daughter? that delightful little thing is my one and only. -sings beautifully, doesn't she? oh, yes, like a bird. a ruptured rooster. well, you're right on time, mr. feathersmith. -i always am. hmm, i don't believe you two gentlemen have met. this is mr. deidrich. and this is mr. -feathersmith, mr. deidrich. i presume you brought cash, mr. feathersmith? 1403 acres... here is $1,403. -you, uh, you seem to put all your eggs in one basket, mr. feathersmith. i wouldn't let that concern you, mr. deidrich. you see, i have an exclusive contract with the hen. -beers all around. well, gentlemen... shall we get down to cases? when it comes to a fast shuffle you're involved with a very knowledgeable dealer. comment, mr. deidrich? -ah, you have the floor, mr. feathersmith. you seem anxious to have it. it's just a human frailty... i mean, to gloat just a bit when one has just skinned a couple of professional skinners. which incidentally, is what i've done to you. -a buck an acre, and you're sitting here thinking that whenthispigeon flew into town you plucked him bald. i sent a telegram to a geologist. he arrived on the 4:00 train. he spent the day out at the widow turner's land... made some preliminary soil tests. care to hear the results? -feel free, mr. feathersmith. i'll oblige, mr. deidrich. that crummy swampland you sold me for a buck an acre is worth half a million times that. -there's oil on that land mr. gibbons, mr. deidrich- oil, black gold. there's enough oil in that land to produce 500 barrels of oil a day for the next 1000 years. and you sold it to me for a buck an acre! -i swear, i could almost feel sorry for you. well, uh, maybe you don't understand. we understand you, mr. feathersmith. i saidoil! -oil, yes, yes. well, how's that for a small shocker to end the day? well, at the time, it made us gulp a bit, too. at the time? four years ago, the first geological tests were made and we were told about the oil. -four years ago! indeed, there were samples taken of the soil at that time, too. there was never any doubt that the land had oil under it. 6,000 feet under it, mr. feathersmith, which means it might just as well be on the moon. -the moon? the oil can't be taken out of the ground. it just can't be taken out. what do you mean, it can't be taken out? you could drill down five miles if you needed to. -well, youcould perhaps, but nobody else on earth could. and at that, you'd better get up off that seat and inventing some new kind of a drill. of course, i... i forgot. it was 1937 when they... when they... uh, problem, mr. feathersmith? -not feeling too well? something, uh, a little queasy, perhaps? oh, it's something i ate, i think. something you ate, no doubt like, uh, likecrow, mr. feathersmith? -mr. cronk, this here is mr., uh... mr., uh... feathersmith. mr. feathersmith says he'd like to talk to us about... i guess you'd call it "inventions." what kind of inventions? it's something that'll turn this two-bit tool shed into a factory. a self-starter. -you want to enlarge on that, mr. feathersmith? what do you mean, enlarge on it? it's a thing you press with your foot that starts an engine with an electric motor. well, uh, what's it used for? -what's it used for? it's used to make 200 million bucks. what goes into it? are you all there? it's a storage battery, a motor... it's a gillhookey that starts the motor. -i've given you the principle all you have to do is build it. make me a set of blueprints and specifications and i'll build it. look, i am not a crummy draftsman or a two-bit blueprint man. i'm a promoter, a financier. i'm going to give you the backing i've given you the principle all you have to do is build it. -not without blueprints, specifications. now, what was the other stuff? other stuff... what isn't there? there's everything. there's everything under the sun. -and you rube sit around here fixing tricycle pedals. there's radio. there's television. plastics... ever here of aluminum? -aluminum airplanes? you foggy-headed carriage builders, we could make ourselves $8 billion! sure. of course we could. wait... there's nothing standing in our way. -all it takes is just a little imagination. just a little drive. let's talk it over. let's see what appeals to you. uh, what appeals to me? -well, uh... how about a nice, handsome perpetual motion machine. what's it used for? to make 200 million bucks, that's what it's used for. listen, are you all there? it's a storage battery, a motor... it's a gillhookey that starts the motor. -i've given you the principle, all you have to do is build it. now, look, i am not a crummy draftsman or a two-bit blueprint man. i'm a promoter, a financier. i'm going to give you the backing. i've already given you the principle, now all you have to do is build it. -there's everything, everything under the sun, and you rube, you sit around here fixing tricycle pedals. there's radio, there's television... plastics... ever hear of aluminum? aluminum airplanes... you foggy-headed carriage builders! we could make ourselves $8 million. jesus, this place... the goals of a 75-year-old man she, she didn't change me inside... tha... that's why i've been so tired... why, why i can't function, why i, i can't operate. -that's why i can't make out... because inside, i'm already the way i was... well, mr. feathersmith. why, mr. feathersmith, dear boy, you look out of sorts... flagging, peaked, drooping, and not at all well. you miserable, you... now, let's be fair about this, mr. -feathersmith, and let's be reasoning and rational and thoughtful. i'm a... 75-year-old man. discerning of you. nothing was mentioned, mr. feathersmith, about changing yourchronologicalage. -you said you wanted to look 30 which is precisely the way you look. we said nothing about your insides... your heart, your veins, your kidneys, your bladder... just your appearance. that was all that was touched upon in the contract. but this place... this town... hmm, indeed. you wanted it as it was. -that was a specific clause in the contract. it's really not my fault your memory is so imperfect. as to the possibilities of investments... well, you knew that oil wasn't reached until 1937. your problem is that you leaped before you looked. but, but everything else... everything else was wrong... the girl... the deals... inventions, stocks, bonds, everything... it didn't work. -it just... it just simply didn't work. of course it didn't. of course, because you, mr. feathersmith, are a wheeler and a dealer, a financier, a pusher... a brain, a manipulator... a raider. because you are a taker, instead of a builder. -a conniver, instead of a designer. a user... instead of a bringer. well, mr. feathersmith, you are what is commonly referred to as being behind the old eight-ball. look, look, i don't want much. -send me back. send me back to 1963, back to where i was. 1963? is that what you want? that's all i want, i swear to you. -that's all i want. you understand, of course that icansend you back to 1963. but it will be a 1963 predicated on what's occurred in the past 24 hours. i don't care, i don't care. i think i might be able to arrange putting you back in your own time. -but, mind you, mr. feathersmith, this is nothing more nor less than a gesture of... sympathy. ooh, hurts me to mouth the word. but frankly, you are such a totally abject... unhappy-looking creature, that i can't find it in my, uh, wherever you find the heart... to leave you here. there's a train out of here at midnight, a special train. -oh, bless you, miss devlin. i'll never forget... i swear to you, i'll never forget. there is a small surcharge, mr. feathersmith. a surcharge? -$40. $40? things docost. i, i don't have $40. i don't, i don't have five dollars. -how about that? this is your night. you have two negotiable items. all you need do is liquidate them. but, but... -but who would buy them? that i wouldn't know... mr. feathersmith. but... you... what'll i do, what'll i do? you've got about ten seconds. -find yourself a customer. it's as simple as that. here, hecate! hecate! here, it's a bargain! -constant sunshine, singing birds... 14... all aboard! 1400 acres! please, it's a bargain! hurry, it's yours for 40 bucks! -yes, you want something? oh, i was going to clean up, mr. hecate. all right, clean up. hmm, marvelous old place. -really great old town. uh, sir? cliffordville. cliffordville, indiana. i grew up there, got my start there. -oh, that, that's a coincidence, sir. i grew up there. name is feathersmith. hmm. well, how similar we are, mr. -feathersmith. we both came from cliffordville. we both put on our pants one leg at a time. and here we wind up in the same building each with his own particular function, huh? oh, oh, yes, sir, each with our particular function. -oh, they, they... they gave me a, a watch. four years ago. it was on the 40th anniversary as custodian. well, now, maybe for the next 40 years if you really apply yourself, mr. feathersmith, i'll buy you a fob. -mr. william j. feathersmith, tycoon. who tried the track one more time and found it muddier than he remembered. proving with at least a degree of conclusiveness that nice guys don't always finish last. and some people should quit when they're ahead. -tonight's tale of iron men and irony delivered f.o.b. from the twilight zone. on our next excursion into the twilight zone we borrow an imposing array of talent and call in the services of a distinguished author named reginald rose, and some exceptionally fine acting talent in the persons of mr. pat hingle, miss nan martin and miss ruth white. they appear in a story called "the incredible world of horace ford." -and it's an incredible world indeed. harvey bender? who's harvey bender? what's the matter? just stop it. -he was one of the kids last night. what are you talking about? i saw him last night. don't you know that's impossible? i know what i see. -he was ten years old when you were ten years old. he's as old as you are. i tell you, i saw him. he's a grown up man. oh, you think so? -you think so, do you? let me tell you, i saw him last night on randolph street. and i saw george lambert and i saw cy wright. and they are still kids. (gate creaking) -(screeching) (dog howling) (screeching) (indistinct whispering) (cackling) -(cryptkeeper speaking) look, lady. i'm sorry if the product made your skin fall off. but we never do axe-changes on sale merchandise. next. -some people. maybe at doomingdaies the ghostomer's always fright. but not here. attention all slay mart choppers! interested in tonight's boo light special? -it concerns a couple of crooks who are about to iearn the benefits of dying wholesale. i call this bit of gash-and-carry "ear today... gone tomorrow." henry: -one minute... one minute 30... two ten... we've got an alarm. (alarm blaring) -glynn: just a minute. i'm almost there. what's the problem? there's no problem. -i've almost got it. henry: two-thirty-five... open it. yes, just one more minute. -okay? we haven't got another minute! the coppers are on their way! open it. you idiot. -he's hopeless. no, no, wait. let me start again. okay? i got confused. -time's up, fenneii. the police are here and you're dead. boom. (thudding) right in the kisser. -well, i am sorry, mr. lawson, but it looks like this bloke's been wasting your time. he ain't a safecracker. yes, i believe you're right, henry. we've been duped. it's a shame, a real shame. -a bleeding shame, sir, and a busy man like yourself, you shouldn't have to bother with the likes of this riff-raff. it can certainly leave a nasty taste in one's mouth. but i'm not going to give up, yet. i'm a problem solver. (groaning) -my bookies are very worried about you, giynn. so much so that they brought your rather large debt to my attention this time. now, i ask you, do i iook like the type of man who's built an empire on flogging drunks and gamblers? no. no. -no, no, sir. that's right. i'm not. i'm a barterer. the way i see it, every man has a skill i can trade for. -in your case, i was told you have a certain expertise that could be very useful to me. one that could help you pay off your debt. i know, mr. lawson. it's just that i've run up against a bit of a losing streak, again. but i've got a tip on a horse... -tips are for waiters and cabbies. a betting man should never accept one. you know that. yeah, i know that. but this one's a beauty. -it's a sure thing. you had a sure thing, you stupid arse, and you fucked it up! aii you had to do was to crack that safe and we were in business. (kate clicking tongue) kate: -malcolm. still crying over spilt milk. i thought we had moved beyond this obsession of yours. giynn fenneii, my wife, kate. if she speaks of obsession with some authority, it is because she is an expert. -her beauty is not so much a tribute to the hand of god as to the meticulous craftsmanship of some of this country's finest plastic surgeons. malcolm, you gave away my secret. i'm hurt. impossible. i thought we paid to have your feelings removed, along with certain rather unsightly wrinkles, of course. -very funny. don't let him fool you, mr. fenneii. i'ii pay you back, mr. lawson. every penny. aii i need is one more chance. -and all i needed was a competent safecracker. so, it appears that neither of our needs are going to be fulfilled. pity. great pity. i had high hopes of you, giynn. -i was told you used to be good. one of the best. get the car ready and then cut his throat. i can't be bothered with this anymore. right, sir. -love the glasses, henry. thank you, ma'am. as i said to mr. lawson, i appreciate the gift. my pleasure. no! -don't go! please! please give me one more chance. i'ii do anything! really, i will... -no, i will, i will. i'ii do anything. please. please help me. really? -anything? then tell me a story. what happened to the world's greatest safecracker? well, i took a beating in prison and i kind of lost my hearing, you know. but it's... -i mean it's... but... it's healed now. but i can't hear the tumblers no more. i can't hear anything, you know? -but that's no reason to kill a man, is it? it's as good as any. but then again, why don't you let him go, malcolm? give him one more chance. why? -he's cute. in a pathetic sort of way. he's business. and you never mix business with pleasure, am i right? that is my rule. -then how do you explain me? you, my love, are my hobby. a very expensive one. kate: but well worth it. -(malcolm chuckles) that man's obsession with gambling intrigues me. i bet... what the devil... aii right, i'ii take that bet. -car's ready, sir. thank you, henry. no! come on, i can get the money! cut him free. -sir? i said cut him free. my wife has bought mr. fenneii a short reprieve. very good, sir. (shuddering) -thank you. thank you so very much. i won't forget this. now, now, don't be so quick to kneel at her feet. in my view, she has only extended your suffering. -but as she wishes to prove a point, i've decided to grant her request to spare your life. tomorrow, mr. fenneii, i leave for paris. if, when i return in ten days time, i find that your debt is still outstanding, -i shall kill you without any further hesitation. not even my lovely wife will be able to save your skin a second time. we understand each other, eh? yes. yes. -yes, sir. i won't let you down. i know you won't. i'm betting on it. hello, giynn. -bloody hell! meow. amazing, aren't they? they're part of a little surprise i'm planning. are they real? -of course. i came all the way down here to show them to you. you came all the way down here to show me your eyes. why? kate: -i want you to help me break into my husband's safe. do it and i promise you you'ii never have to worry about money again. glynn: you are crazy, lady. kate: -am i? in five days, he's going to kill you. i'd say you'd be crazy not to accept. let me help you and then we can help each other. glynn: -i've told you before, i can't hear anything, can i? i mean, i can't even hear the tumblers fall. kate: yes, but i know a man, a surgeon who can cure your hearing loss. he's using new and radical techniques. -doing things no one's even dreamed of. help me and you'ii be rich. decide not to and you're as good as dead. either way, it's a sure thing. wait, where's henry? -he's gone. he always travels with malcolm when he has monkey business to attend to. we're alone. trust me. come on. -where are we going? to the bedroom. to call the doctor. don't be so suspicious. this is business. -i won't bite. i clearly don't understand you, mr. fenneii. you will bet every pound you own on a iong shot in hopes of hitting it big. but you will not take a slight gamble in following me to my room. why is that? -i guess i'm interested in only one thing, lady. the big score. why, me, too, mr. fennel. coming? yes. -now, iet's just hope for your sake, we're talking about the same thing. aii taken care of. my surgeon is expecting you. that's good. right. -well, i'ii probably be on my way then. is that what you think? well... like... like you said, you know, i mean... -the doctor is... i am going to fuck you. that's not funny. does this look like i'm laughing? oh, boy. -oh, please, please. please don't do this. well, ever since i got these new eyes, i've been having these strange urges. i mean, it's not iike i even find you that attractive. but you'ii do. -(moaning) i think my body's trying to tell me something. yeah, yeah. i crave sex. i feel like i'm on a hot tin roof. -have you tried catnip? what kind of crack is that? it was just a little joke, that's all. just a little joke, i mean... never mix business with pleasure, remember? -and who said it's going to be pleasurable? you do a iot of these operations then, doc? not as many as i'd iike to, i'm afraid. the procedure is fairly new. therefore, the operation is extremely expensive. -but, fortunately for you, you have a wealthy benefactor. you can say that again. she's quite a nice little benefactor, she... tricking an individual's immune system into accepting tissue from another person is not an easy task. introducing tissue from an entirely different species is another story altogether. -we're still working out the bugs. bugs? that's not very encouraging. oh, there's nothing to worry about. we've been pumping pig insulin into diabetics for generations. -it was really only a matter of time before we made full use of all their transpiantabie organs. we've even used bone marrow from baboons to fight off retroviruses. baboons? get out. don't be ridiculous. -hey, i am sorry. i don't understand. mrs. lawson said you wanted to improve your hearing. yeah, well... i do, i know, i do, but, i mean, i don't want to wake up and find a couple of chimp's ears stuck to me head, do i? -(laughing) you won't. primates' auditory abilities are not that much better than humans. i want to improve your hearing ten-foid, mr. fenneii. what? -you can do that? absolutely. how? by giving you the auditory system of an owl. (amplified) can you hear me, giynn? -(groaning) wake up, giynn. what happened? the operation was a success. operation? -yes. i took advantage of your fainting spell and put the time to good use. you're cured. the headset will help until you learn to better filter the sound waves. now tell me, how do you feel? -great. i feel absolutely great. glad to hear that. (heart beating) (sizzling) -you should stop smoking. your heart's racing. when i want your opinion, i'ii ask for it. meanwhile, keep your ears out of my chest. we could negotiate a compromise upstairs. -there's been quite a change in your personality ever since your operation. maybe you're not such a miserable specimen after all. with your confidence restored, you're almost a man. it's too bad my husband comes home tomorrow. if you had any money, you might actually be interesting. -really? well, in that case, let's crack a safe. no. not there. -why? what do you mean? that's pocket change. this is for keeps. (glynn chuckling) -impress me. my pleasure. (both chuckling) (glynn whistles) well done, giynn. -you are about to become a very wealthy bachelor. well, madam... you know what they say? age before beauty. i beg your pardon? -funny what you find lying around here given half the chance, isn't it? i told you i was gonna take care of you. there's gonna be more than you could ever need. just put that away. no. -no, that's not good enough. you don't get me, do you? i'm a gambler, and a gambler settles for nothing less than everything. i want everything. the big score, remember? -giynn, don't be this way. think of the night we had together. i lied. it was great. you know, that's all i think about. -(coughing) i warned you, pussy cat. smoking kills. damn. malcolm was right about you. -you'ii always be a bad bet. (retching) oh, dear, that is disgusting. you know, one thing i hate worse than smoking is fur balls. people have got some filthy habits. -damn. i hate it when that happens. god, life is a bitch sometimes. i'ii say. aii bloody nine of them. -or in my case, eight. some side effects are better than others, giynn. wouidn't you agree? who... who... -to who... to who... (clearing throat) i think you mean "to whom," giynn. to whom. (glynn groaning) -(screaming) i still can't believe you're taking my money, malcolm. and i still can't believe you thought he had any principles. good grief, the man's positively neanderthai. the moment he got a sniff of some easy money, his instincts took over. -i knew he'd try to shoot you, first chance he got. but it's my allowance. (chuckles) i have to say, i thought it was a sucker bet... what have you done to me? done to you? -my goodness, it's what you've done for me that's exciting. yeah, but what have i done to deserve this? you've been the perfect host. i knew you were a sure thing, the moment i laid eyes on you. i explained the whole thing to you in my office, dear boy. -these experiments are tricky stuff. sometimes we have to move slowly up the evolutionary scale to make them stick. with something as intricate as a human ear, you can't just expect to jump from animals to human. sometimes you have to start somewhere in between. and that's where boys like you and henry come in. -henry! what? henry's dead? sure. you don't think these eyes grow on trees, do you? -i let henry have them for a while, and then he lost his head, with the help of the good doctor here. why settle for mere cosmetic surgery when you can sample all of mother nature? being beautiful is one thing, but in our business, having a few extra lives can come in handy. exactly. -it's these little improvements that make us better-equipped to do our work. goodbye, giynn. he's all yours, doctor. (exclaiming) (screaming) -(laughing) poor giynn! i hope his boo cross policy's in force. sounded to me like he got in his screamium just in time. (cackling) -so, how will you be paying today? (cackling) now, that's a charge card! (cackling) (whoops) -ok, venus? ok, steve. right. come on. 1875 -wrench. wrench. i said no hammer and wrench, you idiot robot! wrench, hammer, wrench, hammer, wrench ... hammer, wrench ... -no no no! no need to blow your noggin key, hammer ... it's all right there, professor?

it's been one week. top secret, commander. -it tells us nothing. well, there must be something very special. do not enter do not bother projects xl well, it's over. -well within. within. my own time machine. modesty aside, it is magnificent! now the question is, does it work?

commander good idea. i'm curious too. -do you think he will mind? well, we have much left alone since we returned from patrol. it's time to see what he's doing. i'll get the car. here's the key to my workshop. -no one should go until i'm ready to show my new invention. i understand? already ready? already i finished. tell me professor, i keep secret. -what is it? you'll know soon when show for everyone, in front of the commissioner of patents. he arrives tomorrow, right? yes. come tonight saturn. -especially to see her in the invention. he will not miss the trip. now, do not forget. no one, i say, no one can enter the workshop. understand? -okay, professor. well, now i need some sleep. vamos, robert. oh ... i'm really tired ... -but sr, prof. he said that no one can enter until tomorrow. give me the key, lieutenant. this is an order. it's all right, lieutenant. do not worry, lieutenant. -after we explained to him. the key, lieutenant, if you please! ok, comandante. i do not know what the teacher will say. do not touch ... -leave alone ... new invention ... no one ... no one can touch ... play ... -so that's the whole mystery of why? how about that, steve? well, let's take a look inside. let's do this. hmm, seems like an artificial gravity test. -i am but never seen one like this before. well, if it was matt who did, this is not surprising. see, an old pot. it's still warm. do not tell me after all, matt is doing a new coffee machine?

(chuckles) what's happening in europe? in provence and around madrid the peasants itch and go deaf. -oh, some will die, marcus, some will die. the pigs are walking backwards. splendid. admirable. here, marcus. -things are going well, but this is only a beginning. see? soon we shall serve them fear. simple, naked, fear. (theme music) -(roar of heavy machinery) come in. ah, penrose, hello. now, then, gentlemen, don't you worry, you leave it all to us, eh? insecticide, animal feed, fertilizers, we've got the lot. -you sow it, we grow it. you breed it, we feed it, eh? (phone rings) excuse me. hello? -mrs. who? mrs. gale, oh, yes, wheel her in would you, mary? thank you. righty-o, then, gentlemen, we'll be in touch, eh? oh, i know it sounds pretty puzzling, but our technical bods could work wonders, believe you me. -okay, penrose, will you take these gentlemen to the research laboratory? ah, good morning, mrs. gale, come in. okay, gentlemen, leave it all to us then. how do you do, mrs. gale? how do you do? -i hope i haven't caught you at a bad time? oh, no, no, no, they were just off. they're over from ireland, you know. there's been an infestation of black grubs out there. is it serious? -well, it could be. it's not really my line of country, you know. i'm public relations. still i understand there have been a number of widely separated outbreaks. it is very curious. -oh, now, do forgive me, mrs. gale, come and sit down. thank you. i've got your letter here somewhere. ah, yes. you're from the universal health and famine relief organization. -yes, we've had some disturbing reports from various governments about the effect on agriculture of some kinds of soil dressing. as united foods and dressings is one of the biggest concerns of its kind, we thought you might be able to help. ah, well, given time, our technical bods can come up with an answer for practically anything, you know. crop diseases, animals pests, the lot. it may not be as simple as that. -oh, what do you mean? well, we've had some unprecedented crop failures this year and in southern europe, there have been some serious instances of soil erosion appearing on fertile land. i've seen nothing of this in the papers. it's not the kind of thing we want to advertise at this stage. it could cause a panic. -but in asia there have been reports of aujeszky. of what? pigs walking backwards or sitting with their heads held high. well, i know this can result from acute salt poisoning and the consequent derangement of the animal's brain, but there's been no evidence of salt poisoning so far. well, that certainly sounds like something for our technical department. -if you'd care to pitch your tent here for a day or two we'll certainly give you all the help we can. right, well, i saw a hotel on the high street. i might try and get a room there. the bell, oh, yes, an excellent place. tell them you're from here, won't you? -i'm sure they'll look after you. then i'll make an appointment for you to meet our technical director, mr. appleton, and afterwards i'll show you around the factory, eh? thank you. not a bit, mrs. gale. new york? -lucius. two legions, arrives here on the 10th. yes, that's 80 cohorts, 8,000 legionaries under the command of 80 centurions, good, good. paris? antonio spiras, two legions, also gets here on the 10th. -their conference before the full senate on the 15th. paris, 8,000 legionaries. thank you, marcus, no. you know my feelings on that subject. did the romans defile themselves with tobacco? -i'm sorry, excellency, the chains of habit. now, what about... is anything wrong? how long would you give it, marcus? to be really successful, to really clinch it, -i'd say a year. another year? that's long. hmm. a big program like this it takes time. -it's a terrific scheme, it can't fail. can't? you saw that report from apollodorus, the situation on the continent is pretty advanced. soon the whole process will be repeated here in britain. it all takes so long, it may lose its impact. -i'm not a young man, marcus, i need action quickly. ah, octavia. my dear, will you get us some wine? of course. -well, first, i want you to meet marcus. my very good friend and first consul, marcus, octavia. how do you do, octavia? how are you, marcus? -bruno has told me so much about you. bring three symboria, my dear, i'd like you to join us. octavia has been in italy. a good party member. and charming. -yes, indeed, marcus. the future lady bruno luca. i see. and if all goes to plan... empress. ah, octavia, i feel depressed. -i need company, gaiety. it's a feast of the roman lupercalia. we shall have a party, a little bacchanalia, hmm? you must invite some of your young friends here again. of course. -perhaps marcus would care to come along, too, and bring some of his friends? i'd like to, but i'm speaking at a big open air meeting this evening. drive out here again afterwards. you can stay the night. thanks, i'd be glad to. -in fact, with our plans as they are, it might be a good idea if you took up permanent residence at the villa marcus. yes, i think that might be a very good idea. good. ask julia to prepare a room, will you, octavia? and now let's drink to our plans and your return. -i'll give you a toast, a roman toast. audacity, danger, devotion. audacity, danger, devotion. where did this cereal grass come from? a farm in devon, it's itching and scratching that's broken out down there. -that's wheat. really? steed: how is it? mrs. gale: -healthy. where do the sussex people buy their soil dressing? hemming's walsh, they're the main suppliers of the south and west. pass me that book, will you, the fat one on the corner? "abnormality in plants and cereals." -here we are. that's it, look under "ergot." ergot, ergot, ergot, what are we looking for exactly? claviceps purpurea. of course, how very... -eww. oh, come on, let me. it's a fungus. ah, here we are. it infects the ears of grain and causes ergotism, a poison which attacks the autonomic nervous system of the body. -what are the symptoms? intense itching all over the body accompanied by deafness. it can sometimes be fatal. mm-hmm. oh, have a look at those. -yorkshire, east anglia, scotland. by the way, steed, we've had a report from the ministry of agriculture that some regions are running out of earthworms. oh, pity, i was planning a fishing holiday this year. earthworms are essential to agriculture. i did know that. -they aerate the soil and help the growth of plant roots, increase soil fertility, all sorts of things. busy little creatures. so, can we rule out that this abnormality is not caused by a change in routine? i mean, the farmers haven't got their milch mixed up with their till, sort of thing? no, as far as we know, the soil has been tended and fertilized as usual. -yet somehow it's been poisoned. you know, if this got out, it could cause a panic. that's probably just what they want. you don't think it's a coincidence? it isn't nature behind this, it's man. -but why? well, to find out that, you got to find out who. hey, this is it. this is what? this is ergotism. -this grain's infected. let's have a look. mrs. gale: dumphrey's, where do they buy their soil dressing? united foods and dressings. -our old chums. that reminds me. i found this mark on a bag at the farm where i got the samples. does that mean anything to you? yes, it does. -somehow it's familiar. not all the marks were like that. it could be an ordinary code mark. on the other hand, it could be tied up with this infected grain. no, i don't think so. -i've seen this sign somewhere before. poultry keeping is a pretty dodgy game at the best of time, old chap, you know, lots of snags and what have you. yes, well, our technical people are preparing a special note on the new business. yes, we'll rush you a copy, of course. okay. -okay, goodbye. hello, mr. appleton, do sit down. morning, tommy, how's it going? oh, the press boys have just been all about that new outbreak among broiler chicks. i said we'd wise them up. -well, we've sorted out the parasites. the principle means of transmission is by simple worms. that'll knock the poultry industry for six. what next, i wonder? exactly. -if this gets out, people will be too scared to eat fresh food altogether. there'll be the most frantic rush on tinned stuff. supplies of that won't last forever, and what then? i don't know. it's a terrible business, tommy, and the public don't know the half of it. -if they did, well... of course, you know, some people are blaming us, sir. what do you mean? not ufd specifically. who, then? -modern farming methods generally. mainly chemical spraying and... rubbish. well, after all, it is a form of poisoning. what are you talking about? -oh, now, don't get me wrong. i'm merely pulling the layman's point of view. you know, one chap told me that whole species of birds have been wiped out simply because they've absorbed poison from chemically sprayed fields. what's bad for birds is bad for humans, i suppose. that seems to have been the message, so, yes. -they want jam on both sides. the housewife demands cheap food as a necessity and if the farmer is compelled to supply that cheap food, then he's got to use techniques that are they're going to keep his crops up. well, yes, though, when you hear about hormones being used in the growth of stock and antibiotics... now, look here. whose side are you on? -well, as a pro i have to see both sides of the picture. i can assure you that the press are getting justifiably worried. well, they needn't lose any sleep over what comes out of usd. we know what we're doing. yes, of course. -these present upsets are due to some cause, which at moment is obscure, but we shall nail it. yes, sir. by the way, i understand that you want mrs. gale shown overview of the laboratory. oh, yes. -now, she's doing extensive inquiry on behalf... i don't want her in that laboratory. there's a lot of valuable equipment and i don't want any woman there. as you say, sir. and on all technical questions, you'll refer her to me. -(door slams) i will. (crowd clamor) (click) oh, you're a great comfort to me, octavia. -one day soon you will be rewarded for your patience and understanding. empress of the world. oh, excuse me. come in, marcus. you're very clumsy. -well? how was your meeting? oh, it went very well. i know. i've just seen it on the news. -your organization is getting lax. i want these beatings to be forceful and realistic, but there must be some control. soon i shall come to the forefront myself. you sir? certainly. -caesar won't always be a code name. and i don't wish to be associated with street brawls. no, of course not. very good. now, i've got some good news. -apollodorus has suggested a way of bringing off our final coup. marvelous. he's a brilliant man, apollodorus, he'd make an excellent second consul. and what's his idea? marcus, in germ warfare use will be made of bacteria which excrete poisonous substances. -now, the most deadly of these poisons known to man is type a of the botulinus toxin, 10 ounces of which, and this is a scientific fact, would be enough to kill everyone on earth. in roman times, in the middle ages, europe was devastated by a terrible scourge. people collapsed in agony in the street and died. -lovers were struck down in each other's arms. bubonic plague. yes, and there was famine. people roamed the streets desperately in search of food. hordes of children swarmed the countryside ready to commit any crime so long as they could eat. -night and day, streets heard the rumble of the death carts. we could recreate those conditions. an effective way of administering the toxin has now been suggested. at any moment, too, the antidote which my scientists have been working at will be ready, a vaccine which will immunize only those of us who are inoculated. and think of it, think of the power that we would have. -the threat of a new black death to which only we have the answer. we could hold the entire world at ransom. eh? are you squeamish, marcus? it's a terrific idea. -i salute you, excellency. the world will be ours. not ours, marcus. mine. (machinery roar) -is everyone on strike? what? where is everyone? ah, this section of the factory is fully automatic, old boy. just a handful of maintenance men. -what's going on? well, grain and cereal grass are being blown in down through these pipes here, you see? then round into the mincers and on through into the mixers and all that hooha over there. might i... (machinery roar) -inspection towers, of course, are here and here. make sure everything is shunting along quite happily. everything is spot clean, very tidy. right this way. what part of the factory is this? -number three process department. i'll take you to the director, mr. appleton. you and mrs. gale... (machinery roar) hello, sergeant, aren't you on fire brigade? -yes. never mind. i think i better be getting back to town. i'll leave mrs. gale in your capable hands. thank you very much for all your help. -not a bit, mr. steed. it's always a great pleasure to help you ministry lads. very good of you. oh, i'll tell you what, before you go, let's weave along to the canteen for a quiet java, eh? good. -fine. now, mrs. gale, would you look after mr. steed and take him on out, i'll catch you up. thank you, thank you. any sign of the code mark? no, not so far. -how do you get along with escow? i think i can stand him a little longer. good, because this place will bear watching. things are warming up. "we'll weave along to the canteen for a quiet java." -everything go all right last night, barnes? yes, all as usual, sir. ah, good fellow. excuse me, sir, but... does mr. appleton know about mrs. gale? of course, everything is rubber stamped and approved. -why do you ask? well, you know how mr. appleton is about visitors. don't you worry, sergeant, i'm keeping a close eye on mrs. gale. (ring ring) -hello? oh, yes? oh, no, he's in town, i'm afraid. this is octavia. hold on. -right, what is it? united nations? well, is that serious? yes. yes, i see what you mean. -yes, of course, i'll tell him. right. goodbye. who was that? apollodorus. -what do you want, marcus? i've drafted the report for the senate. just may have to be included. you shouldn't smoke. oh, for heaven's sake! -you know his view... i've had just about enough of this roman gimmick. there's such a thing as party discipline. you as first consul... be a little human, can't you? -you're as cold as one of those blasted statues. did you have a good trip? i did. there's been a call from apollodorus. i made a note. -he can't be here for the praetors meeting. is that all? no. he says the united nations are rushing help to the famine areas. thank you, octavia. -yes, i say, there's no time to lose. what's that? this is a replica of the robe worn by the caesars. purple. the imperial purple. -what's it for? for my coronation as imperial caesar. i want you to take very great care of it. i'll have it put in your room. thank you. -now, marcus. i have some important news. the vaccine, our antidote, is ready for testing. we must find a guinea pig, a human guinea pig. but who? -oh, anyone, male or female. young or old, it doesn't matter. so long as they're in good health. why not ask a party member to volunteer? are our party members so devoted? -what would you say, marcus? what's there to be afraid of? just a little shivering at first, then a high fever, then the swelling, the bubos and edema of the lungs, and then death. but not, of course, if the antidote works. are you a devoted party member, marcus? -i am, sir. but i'm not a devoted guinea pig. leave it to me, i'll find someone. when you've successfully tested the antidote, how do propose to administer the botulinus toxin, excellency? in the most obvious and effective way possible, marcus. -through the public water supplies. do your friends at ufd know you've taken these photos? no. have you gotten the laboratory yet? not yet, but it looks a pretty straightforward setup. -everything goes through a rigid quality test before being processed. hey, not that one, the bottom one. and once it's in those pipes, no one can touch it. it comes out as cattle cake or poultry food. you certain? -mm. it's the same with the soil dressings and the insecticides. ufd is an international concern, you know, a huge combine. with an invisible chairman. ah. -yes, who is he? sir bruno luca. he's an eccentric old gent. his name isn't on the note head, but he runs the place. he founded ufd. -he started way back on a side street with a clean apron, a bottle weed killer, and wound up in millionaire row with scientists, industrialists, ship owners. mrs. gale: head accounts. steed: well, then he retired from his industrial concerns, took up politics, but then he went... -here, have a look at this. that's it. where did you take that? number four loading bay. do you know what it is yet? -no. it's a monogram. i can see that, but who? the romans. octavia. -let me go. i've got to talk to you. he'll find us. come in here. marcus, i must go... -no, i've got to talk to you. we never get a minute alone. he's always watching us. what do you want? you. -oh, marcus, no. he'd kill you. don't make me laugh. we don't need him anymore, you know that, don't you? he's becoming a megalomaniac. -the way he's going on, we'll all end up in jail. he's just caught up in his own dreams. don't you see? now is the time to get rid of him. i must take over and plan the new empire before it's too late. -what about me? leave bruno and come with me. you're a fool. what makes you think i'd leave him now and lose everything? i made bruno what he is. -he'd never let me go. he needs me. but you don't need him. i wouldn't be here if i thought that. maybe i can make you think differently. -maybe. octavia? come in, mr. steed. this is the atrium, the main living room. charming. -charming place. oh, you like it? superb. ohh. what delightful mosaics. -empire? of course. aha. (chuckles) oh, that splendid mosaic. -my goodness me, you've even got a hypocaust. the most efficient heating system. channels of hot air running beneath the ground floors heated from a central furnace. wonderful engineers, the romans. i can almost feel it running up my toga. -oh, octavia, will you bring us some wine? as you seem i have quite a collection of antiquities and objets d'art myself, but i'm always in the market for more. i hoped you might be. i brought this treasurely little figurine from my client's collection. it's from the temple of mars ultor. -mars the avenger. exactly. you've hit it on the head. also, this presumptuous little proto-corinthian, at abouts. oh. -proto-corinthian? but this is greek, not roman surely. the spoils of war from the battle of cumae. oh, how interesting. and if i must say so, there's quite a resemblance. -tiberius caesar. he is rather me, isn't he? it's remarkable. what splendid fellows they were. what power they wielded. -what power. supreme power over the whole civilized race. we shall never see their like again. perhaps just as well. oh, now, this is rather amusing. -that's very lovely. didn't you at one time lecture on roman art? didn't you throw your house open to the public? i did. i wanted to show people some of the old elegance, some of the grandeur that was rome. -what are they doing? see? this is from pompeii, of course. it depicts an incident in one of their bacchanalia. oh, those bacchanalia, such outrageous orgies. -they certainly knew how to relax. (chortles) now, about these antiquities. oh, yes. well, there are the usual vases, early plates, you know, broaches, fibulae. -oh, excellent. your wine. oh, thank you so much. audentes fortuna juvat. i didn't quite hear. -audentes fortuna juvat. oh, cheers. i suppose you're a sort of agent, mr. steed. sort of. and you collect your commission from your client? -yes. perhaps you would give me his telephone number. yes, of course. rome, i suppose, is your main interest now you've given up business and politics. business certainly, one doesn't keep a dog and bark oneself. -and as for politics, well, that was for amusement at best. the telephone number, you were going to give it to me. yes, indeed. there we are. thank you very much. -you've been most kind. thank you. i can see myself out. please, don't bother. oh, good morning. -who was that? you fool. showing yourself just when i tell you i have nothing to do with politics. did i know? -who was he? his name was steed. he was trying to sell me roman antiquities. oh, well. one can't be too careful at this stage. -i'd like to have a chat with his client. perhaps you'll get them on the telephone. yes, sir. hello? what? -who's that? oh, i see, hold on a minute, will you please? your call. oh, thank you. hello, this is sir bruno luca. -who is that i'm speaking with? what? my apologies. i've been given the wrong number. so, one can't be too careful. -mr. steed is an impostor. his client turns out to be the british museum. if he comes here again, marcus, we must deal with him. his name's gordon dobbs, a fascist-type political thug. yes, he runs the world empire party, but it's political chicken feed, isn't it? -yes, but with sir bruno's money behind him and all this, things could change. meaning? sir bruno has dreams of power. his industrial empire is not enough. and if he teams himself with marcus, he'll make those dreams come true. -who's marcus? that's what dobbs calls himself. they use roman code names. now, marcus is attending a political meeting tonight. he's addressing it. -i think i'll go along. i shall be here. i've got the key to the laboratory. you're a good girl. now, comb the laboratory because something happens to those fertilizers after they pass the quality test. -oh, hello, you two. hello. i do hope we're not in your way. not a bit, not a bit. do press on. -yes, i quite see your point about the connection between science and agriculture, mrs. gale. hello, mr. appleton. oh, look, estow here. i'm trying to prepare a handout for the press. i wonder if you could spare a few moments? -oh, good, i'll whip along to your office straight away. right-o, goodbye. big shipment, old boy, the famine drive. high quality, mr. steed. stock food, fertilizers, the lot. -good show, jolly good show. jolly good show. this could be it. increased food and fertilizers all over the world. this could be the opportunity sir bruno's waiting for. -if you're right, i think it's time i threw myself to the lions. as you will see, gentlemen, we can easily recreate those conditions. the world empire party plans a government which will bring peace and stability to this tormented world. one government, one empire and one leader. -as you well know, amongst other things, my company produces chemicals for the purification of water supplies throughout the world. when we are ready, these chemicals will contain the deadliest of poison known to man, type a of the botulinus toxin. by using these chemicals, the public health departments will finish our work for us. 10 ounces is sufficient to cause a universal plague. -plague, caesar? oh, don't worry, lucius. my laboratories have been working day and night to perfect an antidote to this infection. within the next 48 hours, this will be tested on a human being. the success of this test will be the signal for my master plan to come into action. -hail, caesar. thank you, marcus. but we can leave all salutations until after my coronation. now, i give you a toast. one government, one empire, and one caesar. -ah, mrs. gale. we thought it wouldn't be very long. hello? cassio, tell caesar we've got his guinea pig. (ringing) -hello, security? look, estow here, did you give sergeant barnes my message? oh, good, good. okay, thank you. he's on his way over, steed. -thanks. i hope for her sake that mrs. gale had nothing to do with the damage that i found in the laboratory this morning. she say anything to you about not coming in? estow: on the contrary, said she'd be here the usual time. -i do hope she's okay. i hope you can come up with some satisfactory explanation. now, i want you to handle this for me. i shall be away for a couple days at the conference.

"you'll have a great time, bones. you'll enjoy your shore leave. -"you'll be able to relax." you call this relaxing? i'm a nervous wreck. if i'm not careful, i'll end up talking to myself. greetings, captain. -spock! what are you doing in this neck of the woods? i have been monitoring your progress. i'm flattered. twelve hundred points of interest in yosemite and you pick me. -i regret to inform you that the record for free-climbing el capitan is in no danger of being broken. kirk: i'm not trying to break any records. i'm doing this 'cause i enjoy it. not to mention the most important reason for climbing a mountain. -and that is? because it's there. captain? i do not think you realize the gravity of your situation. on the contrary. -gravity is foremost on my mind. look, i'm trying to make an ascent here. why don't you go pester dr. mccoy for a while? i believe that dr. mccoy is not in the best of moods. goddamn irresponsible... -playing games with life. concentration is vital. you must be one with the rock. spock, i appreciate your concern, but if you don't stop distracting me, i'm liable to be one to -oh, my god. perhaps "because it is there" is not sufficient reason for climbing the mountain. i'm hardly in a position to disagree. hi, bones. -mind if we drop in for dinner? man on tv: your dream can become a reality. the paradise inn. we have spared no expense to create the closest thing to paradise in paradise... -city, that is. gentlemen, i'm caithlin dar. oh, yeah. our new romulan representative. welcome to paradise city, my dear, capital of the so-called planet of galactic peace. -i'm st. john talbot, the federation representative here on nimbus iii. my charming companion here is the klingon consul, korrd. i expect that's klingon for "hello." talbot: won't you come in, my dear? -twenty years ago, our three governments agreed to develop this planet together. a new age was born. our new age died a quick death. and the settlers we conned into coming here, they were the dregs of the galaxy. immediately took to fighting amongst themselves. -we forbad them weapons, and they soon began to fashion their own. well, then it appears i've arrived just in time. we have spared no expense to create the closest thing to... j'onn: get away from that transmitter! -romulan. terran. klingon. consider yourselves my prisoners. prisoners? -we're already prisoners here on this worthless lump of rock. what possible value could we be to you? nimbus iii may be a worthless lump of rock, but it does have one unique treasure. it's the only place in the entire galaxy that has the three of you. i don't know who you are, or what you want, but i can tell you this. -our governments will stop at nothing to ensure our safety. that's exactly what i'm counting on. scotty: u.s.s. enterprise, shakedown cruise report. i think this new ship was put together by monkeys. -oh, she's got a fine engine, but half the doors won't open. and guess whose job it is to make it right? borgus frat. "let's see what she's got," said the captain. and then we found out, didn't we? -i know you'll whip her into shape, scotty. you always do. uhura, i thought you were on leave. and i thought we were supposed to be going together. oh, i cannot leave her now when she needs me the most. -i had a feeling you would say something like that. so i brought us dinner. oh, lassie, you're the most understanding woman i know. computer: red... -red... red alert. red alert. i just fixed that damn thing. red... -red... red alert. turn it off, will you? man on radio: red alert. -red alert. this is a red alert. enterprise acknowledge. this is enterprise. identify yourself. -man: enterprise, this is starfleet. we have a priority seven situation in the neutral zone. uhura: stand by, starfleet. -scotty, this is for real. they can't be serious. the ship's in pieces and we've got less than a skeleton crew aboard. starfleet, are you aware of our current status? man: -current status understood. stand by to copy operational orders and recall key personnel. admit it. we're lost. all right, we're lost. -but we're making good time. uhura on radio: commander sulu, come in, please. i don't believe this. commander sulu here. -bad news, gentlemen. shore leave's been canceled. chekov: rescued at last! uhura: -return to prearranged coordinates for pickup. don't tell them you're lost. you'll never live it down. is there a problem, gentlemen? we've been caught in a blizzard. -and we can't see a thing. request you direct us to the coordinates. my visual says sunny skies and 70 degrees. sulu, look. the sun's come out. -it's a miracle. don't worry, fellas. your secret's safe with me. i'll send the shuttlecraft to pick you up. uhura, i owe you one. -sulu out. come and get it! come and get it! knock it... bones! -bones, knock it off! we're right here. and we're starving. bipodal seeds, doctor? beans, spock. -but no ordinary beans. these are from an old southern recipe handed down to me by my father. and if you stick your vulcan nose up at these, you're not only insulting me, but generations of mccoys. in that case, i have little choice but to sample your beans. mmm. -surprisingly good. it does have a flavoring i'm not familiar with. ah. that's the secret ingredient. you got any more of that secret ingredient, bones? -be my guest. thank you. am i to understand that your secret ingredient is alcohol? whiskey. tennessee whiskey, spock. -you care for a little snort? bourbon and beans, an explosive combination. think spock can handle it? are you kidding? with that vulcan metabolism, he could eat a bowl of termites and it wouldn't bother him. -as you are so fond of pointing out, doctor, i'm half human. well, it certainly doesn't show. thank you. how do you like that? this guy never changes. -i insult him, and he takes it as a compliment. you know, you two could drive a man to drink. me? what did i do? what did you do? -you really piss me off, jim. human life is far too precious to risk on crazy stunts. maybe it didn't cross that macho mind of yours, but you should've been killed when you fell off that mountain. it crossed my mind. and? -and, even as i fell, i knew i wouldn't die. i thought he was the only one who's immortal. oh, no. it isn't that. i knew i wouldn't die because the two of you were with me. -i do not understand. i've always known i'll die alone. well, i'll call valhalla and have them reserve a room for you. it's a mystery to me what draws us together. all that time in space, and we getting on each others' nerves, and what do we do when shore leave comes along? -we spend it together. other people have families. other people, bones. not us. what are you doing? -i am preparing to toast a marsh melon. well, i'll be damned. a marsh melon. where'd you learn to do that? before leaving the ship, i consulted the computer library to familiarize myself with the customs associated with camping out. -mccoy: well, tell me, spock. what do we do after we toast the marsh melon? we consume them. i know we consume them. -i mean after that. i believe we are required to engage in a ritual known as the sing-along. that's great. i haven't sung around a campfire since i was a boy in iowa. what are we going to sing? -what... bones, what are we going to sing? how about camptown races? pack up your troubles. are we leaving, captain? -it's a song title, spock. moon over rigel vll. row, row, row your boat. row, row, row your boat. i love row... -do you know row, row, row, row, row your boat? that song did not come up in my research, captain. the lyrics are very simple. it's, "row, row, row your boat gently down the stream -"merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream" the doctor and i will start it off, and then when we give you a signal, you jump in. doctor, if you please. don't say i didn't warn you. life is but a dream -gently down the stream merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life... come on, spock. -why didn't you jump in? i was trying to comprehend the meaning of the words. it's a song, you green-blooded vulcan. you sing it. the words aren't important. -what's important is that you have a good time singing it. i am sorry, doctor. were we having a good time? god, i liked him better before he died. all right, all right, let's call it a night. -he just keeps after it. let's... let's go to bed, and just let's get some sleep. spock: captain? -kirk: spock, we're on leave. you can call me jim. spock: jim? -kirk: yes, spock? spock: life is not a dream. kirk: -go to sleep, spock. spock: yes, captain. kirk: good night, bones. -mccoy: good night, jim. kirk: good night, spock. spock: -good night, doctor. mccoy: good night, spock. spock: good night, jim. -i just don't know. mccoy: get that damn light out of my face! mr. scott apologizes for having to send the shuttlecraft. the transporter beam is non-operational. -captain, we've received important orders from starfleet command. why didn't you beep my communicator? you forgot to take it with you. wonder why i did that. well, gentlemen, it appears shore leave has been canceled. -pack out your trash. ''all i ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by" melville. john masefield. are you sure about that? -i am well versed in the classics, doctor. then how come you don't know row, row, row your boat? uhura on radio: ready for landing maneuver. enterprise, you have control. -you're doing just fine. man on pa: landing bay oxygen to pressure. landing bay is secure. landing bay is secure. -man: attention! all i can say is, they don't make them like they used to. kirk: you told me you could have this ship operational in two weeks. -i gave you three. what happened? i think you gave me too much time, captain. very well, mr. scott. carry on. -scotty: aye, sir. how many times do i have to tell you? the right tool for the right job! i don't think i've ever seen him happier. -kirk: bridge. i hope. i could use a shower. yes. -doesn't anything work on this ship? starfieet's got some nerve sending us out in this condition with this handful of people. yeoman: captain on the bridge. uhura: -captain, starfleet transmission on line. put it on the viewscreen, will you, please? can we have a little quiet, please? can you... commander: -am i on? kirk: can you clear that up? can we have a little quiet? come in. -kirk: bob? jim! well! we're dressing informally, aren't we? -you caught me on the way to the shower. i apologize for canceling shore leave, but look, we have a dangerous situation out on nimbus iii. on the planet of galactic peace? the same. from what we can make out, a terrorist force has captured the only settlement. -and they've taken hostages. the klingon, the romulan, the federation consuls. now, i know enterprise is not exactly up to specs... with all due respect, the enterprise is a disaster. there must be other ships in the quadrant. -other ships, yes. but no experienced commanders. captain, i need jim kirk. oh, please. your orders are to proceed to nimbus iii, assess the situation, and avoid a confrontation if possible. -above all, however, get those hostages back safely. have the klingons responded? no, but you can bet they will. understood. kirk out. -plot course for nimbus iii, mr. sulu. sulu: aye, sir. course plotted. i'm afraid the ship's problems will have to be solved en route. -since we're undermanned, i'm counting on each one of you to give his best. end of speech. let's go to work. jim, if you ask me, and you haven't, i think this is a terrible idea. -we're bound to bump into the klingons, and they don't exactly like you. the feeling's mutual. engine room. scotty on intercom: scotty here. -we'll need all the power you can muster, mister. don't you worry, captain. we'll beat those klingon devils even if! have to get out and push. i hope it won't come to that, mr. scott. -all possible speed, mr. sulu. sulu: aye, sir. what's the matter, jim? i miss my old chair. -kirk: captain's log, stardate 845... captain's log, stardate 84... computer: good morning, captain. -forget it. captain, we're receiving the hostage information you requested. put it on the screen. computer: this is an authorized transmission from starfleet galactic memory bank. -not general korrd. the same. he's apparently fallen out of favor with the klingon high command. kirk: general korrd's military strategies were required learning when i was a cadet at the academy. -when they put me out to pasture, i hope i fare better than korrd. this must be the hostage tape. a short time ago, we willingly surrendered ourselves to the forces of the galactic army of light. at this moment, we're in their protective custody. their leader assures us that we will be treated humanely so long as you cooperate with his demands. -i believe his sincerity. he requests that you send a federation starship to parley for our release at once. be assured that we are in good health, and would appreciate your immediate response. i deeply regret this desperate act, but these are desperate times. i have no desire to harm these innocents, but do not put me to the test. -i implore you... i implore you to respond immediately. what is it? you look like you've just seen a ghost. perhaps i have, captain. -perhaps i have. spock, what is it? do you know this vulcan? i cannot be certain. but he does seem familiar. -he reminds me of someone i knew in my youth. why, spock, i didn't know you had one. i do not often think of the past. who is it he reminds you of? there was a young student, exceptionally gifted, possessing a great intelligence. -it was assumed that one day he would take his place amongst the great scholars of vulcan. but he was a revolutionary. what do you mean? the knowledge and experience he sought were forbidden by vulcan belief. forbidden? -he rejected his logical upbringing and embraced the animal passions of our ancestors. why? he believed the key to seif-knowledge was emotion, not logic. imagine that. a passionate vulcan. -when he encouraged others to follow him, he was banished from vulcan, never to return. fascinating. uhura on speaker: captain to the bridge. on my way. -spock? coming, captain. approaching nimbus iii. uhura: hailing frequency open. -standard orbit, mr. sulu. captain, we're receiving transmission from paradise city. they're demanding to know our intentions. respond with static. let them think we're having difficulty. -which wouldn't be far from the truth. paradise city, can you boost your power? we're barely receiving transmission. transporter room. status. -scotty here, captain. transporter is still inoperative. even if we could lock on to the hostages, we could not beam them up. we're gonna have to get them out the old-fashioned way. klingon vessel now entering quadrant. -bird-of-prey. estimating 1.9 hours until her weapons come to bear. damn. let's go. spock: -their scanning equipment is primitive but effective. i recommend we land at coordinates 8-5-6-3. that puts us pretty far away from paradise city. to land any closer would be to risk detection. mr. sulu. -execute. sulu: aye, sir. chekov on radio: paradise city. -this is starship enterprise. a federation starship. this is captain pavel chekov speaking. you are in violation of neutral zone treaty. i advise you to release your hostages at once, or suffer the consequences. -your threats amuse me, captain chekov. what consequences did you have in mind? man: go! go! -go! even as we speak, a klingon warship is on its way. we estimate arrival within the hour. i imagine the klingons will be quite angry. you are a master of understatement. -they are likely to destroy the planet. then it's fortunate that i have you and your starship to protect me. in the meantime, captain chekov, i instruct you and your first officer to beam down to my coordinates. we will be happy to beam down. but first we must have certain assurances. -at foot speed, i estimate the journey to paradise city at 1.2 hours. we don't have 1.2 hours. wait a minute. perfect! but we'll have to get their attention. -what? what's that? man 1: damn! man 2: -is she naked? man 1: what? man 2: is she naked? -man 3: what is that? uhura: hello, boys. i've always wanted to play to a captive audience. -man: oh, damn. kirk: spock. spock: -yes, captain? kirk: be one with the horse. spock: yes, captain. -open the gate. it's our lookout party. kirk: federation soldiers right behind us. close the gate! -where are they going? spock. hold your horse, captain. i'm scanning. the hostages are being held in that structure. -galileo, this is strike team. start your run. j'onn: who are you? phasers on stun. -get rid of the mounts. sulu, take out that light. sulu: yes, captain. what's going on? -i instruct you to surrender at once. you are under attack by superior federation forces. do you realize what you've done? it wasn't bloodshed i wanted! wait! -come back! uhura, come on down. roger. coming in. man on tv: -recreational opportunities are limitless. the vicinity is famous for its plentiful local wildlife. and the fishing? terrific. easy financing through federation federal can put you in your own home... -thank god. please cooperate. would you mind handing over your weapons? man on tv: so, what are you waiting for? -beam on down! well done, my friends. spock! spock. it's me. -it's sybok. after all these years, you've finally caught up with me. don't you have anything to say to me? you are under arrest for seventeen violations of the neutral zone treaty. spock, you've developed a sense of humor after all. -it was not my intention to amuse you. these are serious charges. however, if you surrender now... i'm sorry, spock. i can't surrender now. -i'm not through violating neutral zone treaty. in fact, i'm just getting started. and for my next violation, i intend to steal something. something very big. i must have your starship. -you staged all this to get your hands on my ship? who are you? james t. kirk, captain of the enterprise. but i thought captain chekov... -very clever, captain. spock, it would appear that you've been given a second chance to join me. what do you say? i am a starfleet officer. of course. -of course. then i'll take the ship without your help. shuttle en route. position, bird-of-prey? closing. -mr. chekov. i've lost the bird-of-prey. she must have cloaked. raise shields. but the shuttle... -do it. go to red alert. once we've taken control of your vessel, we'll bring up the rest of our followers. the klingons are out there. we'll be lucky to get back to the ship ourselves. -chekov on radio: galileo, this is enterprise. condition red alert. bird-of-prey approaching. she is cloaked. -raising shields. recommend galileo find safe harbor until situation secure. acknowledge. sybok: no! -no reply. remain on course. sybok, listen to me. in order for this craft to enter the landing bay, enterprise must lower the shields and activate the tractor beam. -to get us inside and re-raise the shields will take... exactly 15.5 seconds. an eternity, during which we'll be vulnerable to klingon attack. korrd, you tell him. he speaks the truth. -if my people are cloaked, then they intend to strike. we cannot turn back. you must allow us to act. let me do something. very well. -do what you must. but no more. enterprise. this is kirk. understand your situation. -are unable to return to planet. stand by to execute emergency landing plan b. what's emergency landing plan b? i don't have a clue. kirk on radio: -b, as in "barricade." he can't be serious. what are you doing? in order to lower and raise the shields as quickly as possible, we're going to forego the tractor beam and fly her in manually. manually? -how often have you done this? actually, it's my first attempt. he's good. really. scotty, on my mark, open bay doors. -kirk to scotty. lower shields. lowering shields, sir. bird-of-prey bearing 1-0-5 mark 2. go, sulu! -they're in! warp speed now. we must change course at once. i'll take you to the bridge. sybok. -you must surrender. no. you must kill me. shoot him! for a moment, i thought you might actually do it. -put him in the brig with captain kirk. spock. you will accompany me to the bridge? no. i will not. -you know i'm right. then you must join them. move. move! these two will be useful. -give us a moment alone. don't be afraid. damn it, spock. god damn it! captain, what i have done... -what you have done is betray every man on this ship. worse. i have betrayed you. i do not expect you to forgive me. forgive you? -i ought to knock you on your goddamn ass. if you think it would help. you want me to hold him, jim? you stay out of this. why, spock? -why? all you had to do was pull the trigger. if i had pulled the trigger, sybok would be dead. i ordered you to defend your ship. you ordered me to kill my brother. -look, the man may be a fellow vulcan, but that doesn't... no, no, no, captain. you do not understand. sybok also is a son of sarek. you mean he's your "brother" brother? -you made that up. i did not. you did, too. sybok couldn't possibly be your brother because i happen to know for a fact you don't have a brother. technically you are correct. -i do not have a brother. there, you see? see? i have a haif-brother. i gotta sit down. -mccoy: let me get this straight. you and sybok have the same father but different mothers. exactly. that is correct. -sybok's mother was a vulcan princess. upon her death, sybok and i were raised as brothers. why didn't you tell us this before? i was not disposed to discuss matters of a personal nature. for that, i am sorry. -he's sorry. see? he's sorry. that makes everything all right. he's sorry. -everything... stop it, jim! spock could no more kill his own brother than he could kill you. if you want to punish him for what he's done, why don't you throw him in the brig? besides, we've got bigger problems to deal with. -like how the hell to get out of here. i'll say one thing, spock. you never cease to amaze me. nor i myself. i was beginning to worry. -where is the captain? it's all right, pavel. sybok will explain everything. sulu, what are you doing? plotting our new course. -new course? you have no authority. what's going on here? pavel... i won't force you. -...you've got to listen to this man. the decision must be yours. i don't understand. each of us hides a secret pain. share yours with me and gain strength from the sharing. -ah! useless. unwise. you could've warned me. he did, jim. -there's got to be a way out of this place. this is a new brig, captain. it is escape-proof. how do you know? the designers tested it using the most intelligent and resourceful person they could find. -he failed to escape. this person didn't by any chance have pointed ears and an unerring capacity for getting his shipmates into trouble, did he? he did have pointed ears. following new course. warp 7. -estimating destination in 6.7 hours, present speed. now that we're under way, it's time i announced my intentions to the rest of the ship. sybok on pa: brave crew of the starship enterprise, consider the questions of existence. these are the questions which man has asked ever since he first gazed at the stars and dreamed. -my vulcan ancestors were ruled by their emotions. they felt with their hearts. they made love with their hearts. they believed with their hearts. but above all else, they believed in a place in which these questions of existence would be answered. -modern dogma tells us this place is a myth, a fantasy concocted by pagans. it is no fantasy, i tell you. i tell you it exists. my brothers, we have been chosen to undertake the greatest adventure of all time. the discovery of sha'ka'ree. -is it possible? kirk: is what possible? that he's found sha'ka'ree. the reason sybok left vulcan. -our destination is the planet sha'ka'ree, which lies beyond the great barrier at the center of the galaxy. the center of the galaxy? where sha'ka'ree is fabled to exist. but the center of the galaxy can't be reached. no ship has ever gone into the great barrier. -no probe has ever returned. sybok possessed the keenest intellect i have ever known. spock, my only concern is getting the ship back. when that's done and sybok is in here, then you can debate sha'ka'ree until you're green in the face. until then, you're either with me or you're not. -i am here, captain. that's a little vague, spock. what's that noise? spock: i believe it is a primitive form of communication -known as morse code. you're right. i'm a little out of practice. that's an "s." "t." - "a," "n," "d," end of word. -"stand." new word. "b," "a"... "c," "k." "back." "stand back." stand back? -all: stand back? what are you standing around for? do you not know a jail break when you see one? the bond between these three is strong, difficult to penetrate. -this will be quite a challenge. we've got to find them. captain, we can't trust anyone now. if we could send a distress signal... spock: -there is an emergency sending apparatus in the forward observation room. the only trouble is, it's up there. we're down here. you might be able to reach it by means of turbo shaft number three, which is closed for repairs. it's a long and dangerous climb. -some of us get off on long and dangerous climbs. mr. scott, get the transporter working. if we can contact a rescue ship, we'll need it. which way to the turbo shaft? head down that tunnel to the hydro vent and turn right. -then left at the blowscreen. you can't miss it. mr. scott, you're amazing. there's nothing amazing about it. i know this ship like the back of my hand. -kirk: all right. look at it this way, we'll get a good workout. yeah, or a heart attack. get mr. scott to sickbay. -jim, this is going to take me forever. where's spock? i believe i have found a faster way. kirk: bones? -you two go ahead. i'll wait for the next car. we're not splitting up. it appears we're too heavy. must be all those marsh melons. -spock, the booster rockets. if i activate them now, captain, we'll be propelled upward at an unbelievable rate. fire the rockets! captain, please come back down... kirk: -hit the brakes! i'm afraid i overshot the mark by one level. nobody's perfect. spock. emergency channel open. -to anyone within the sound of my voice, this is captain james t. kirk of the federation starship enterprise. if you read me, acknowledge. acknowledge. woman on radio: enterprise, this is starfleet command. -we read you. over. a hostile force has taken control of our vessel and put us on a direct course with the great barrier. our coordinates are 0-0-0... mark 2. -...mark 2. request emergency assistance. acknowledge. understood, enterprise. we are dispatching a rescue ship immediately. -kirk on radio: roger, starfleet. i trust your message was received. you can't expect us to stand by while you take the ship into the great barrier. what you fear is the unknown. -the people of your planet once believed their world was flat. columbus proved it was round. they said the sound barrier could never be broken. it was broken. they said warp speed could not be achieved. -the great barrier is the ultimate expression of this universal fear. it's an extension of personal fear. captain kirk, i so much want your understanding. i want your respect. are you afraid to hear me out? -i'm afraid of nothing. wait outside. i'm sure you have many questions. here, amidst the stars of our own galaxy, we shall seek the answers together. easy. -easy. easy, scotty. easy. you're back with us. uhura, i had the strangest dream. -i dreamt that a madman had taken over the enterprise. scotty, dear, he's not a madman. he's not? no. sybok has simply put us in touch with feelings that we've always been afraid to express. -i have to get back to the transporter. no, no, no. scotty! scotty. there's so much i want to tell you. -maybe you could wait 'til i'm a wee bit stronger. i don't think i could take it in my present condition. or yours. sha'ka'ree. "the source." -"heaven." "eden." call it what you will. the klingons call it "qui'tu." for the romulans, it's "vorta vor." the andorian word is... -is unpronounceable. still, every culture in existence shares this common dream of a place from which creation sprang. for us, that place will soon be reality. the only reality i see is that i'm a prisoner on my own ship. what is this power you have to control the minds of my crew? -i don't control minds. i free them. how? by making you face your pain, and draw strength from it. once that's done, fear cannot stop you. -sounds like brainwashing to me. sybok: your pain is the deepest of all. what? i can feel it. -can't you? man: leonard. it's some kind of trick. man: -leonard. father? oh, my god, don't do this to me. man: leonard. -i'm here. i'm with you, dad. the pain. stop the pain. i've done everything i can do. -you've got to hang on. help me. all my knowledge, and i can't save him. you've done all you can. the support system will keep him alive. -you call this alive? son, release me. i can't do that, dad. but how? -how can i watch him suffer like this? you're a doctor. i'm his son. why did you do it? to preserve his dignity. -that wasn't the worst of it. no. was it? no! share it. -not long after, they found a cure. a goddamn cure! so if you hadn't killed him, he might have lived. no! i loved my father. -i released him! then you did what you thought was right. yes. no! yes! -release this pain. release it! this pain has poisoned your soul for a long time. now you've taken the first step. the other steps we'll take together. -each man's pain is unique. i hide no pain. i know you better than that. do you? spock, don't. -it's all right, captain. proceed. what is this? i believe we are witnessing my birth. high priestess: -sarek, your son. so human. spock? what have you done to my friends? i've done nothing. -this is who they are. didn't you know that? no, i didn't. now learn something about yourself. no. -i refuse. jim, try to be open about this. about what? that i've made the wrong choices in my life? that i turned left when i should have turned right? -i know what my weaknesses are. i don't need sybok to take me on a tour of them. if you'd just unbend and allow yourself... and be brainwashed by this con man? i was wrong. -this con man took away my pain. damn it, bones, you're a doctor. you know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with the wave of a magic wand. they're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. if we lose them, we lose ourselves. -i don't want my pain taken away. i need my pain! uhura: sybok, this is the bridge. we're in approach of the great barrier. -captain, i'm afraid you'll have to remain here. spock, dr. mccoy, come with me. spock? i cannot go with you. why not? -i belong here. sybok: i don't understand. sybok, you are my brother, but you do not know me. i am not the outcast boy you left behind those many years ago. -since that time, i have found myself, and my place. i know who i am. and i cannot go with you. i guess you'd better count me out, too. then i'll see you on the other side. -wait! you know we'll never make it through the great barrier. but if we do, will that convince you that my vision was true? your vision? given to me by god. -he waits for us on the other side. you are mad. am i? we'll see. they say no ship can survive this. -i say they're wrong. i say that danger is an illusion. we have no instrument readings. is it there or isn't it? mr. sulu, full ahead. -full ahead. aye. kirk: is it possible? fascinating. -are we dreaming? if we are, then life is a dream. instruments back online. incredible. there is a power source emanating from the planet like nothing i have ever seen. -sha'ka'ree. qui'tu. vorta vor. eden. about the ship... -the ship needs its captain. no special conditions? no conditions. what makes you think i won't turn us around? because you, too, must know. -well, if we're going to do it, we're going to do it by the book. mr. chekov, you take the conn. mr. sulu, standard orbital approach. uhura, alert the shuttlecraft to stand by. sybok, spock, dr. mccoy, come with me. -the rest of you remain onboard until i've determined what it is we're dealing with. well, don't just stand there. god's a busy man. i am no longer in control of the craft. all right. -we'll play it your way. sybok: amazing. the land. the sky. -just as i knew it would be. scotty, you gotta see this. i don't have the time. the captain told me to get this transporter working, and i'm not about to let him down. by starship. -enterprise, this is kirk. we have a... sybok. perhaps... male voice: -brave souls, welcome. is this the voice of god? one voice, many faces. does this better suit your expectations? it is i. -the journey you undertook to reach me could not have been an easy one. it was not. the barrier stood between us, but we breached it. magnificent. you are the first to find me. -we sought only your infinite wisdom. and how did you breach the barrier? with a starship. this starship, could it carry my wisdom beyond the barrier? it could. -yes. then i shall make use of this starship. sybok: it will be your chariot! excuse me. -it will carry my power to every corner of creation. excuse me. i'd just like to ask a question. what does god need with a starship? bring the ship closer. -i said, what does god need with a starship? jim, what are you doing? i'm asking a question. who is this creature? who am i? -don't you know? aren't you god? he has his doubts. you doubt me? i seek proof. -jim, you don't ask the almighty for his id. then here is the proof you seek. why is god angry? why? why have you done this to my friend? -he doubts me. you have not answered his question. what does god need with a starship? do you doubt me? i doubt any god who inflicts pain for his own pleasure. -stop! the god of sha'ka'ree would not do this. sha'ka'ree? a vision you created. an eternity i've been imprisoned in this place. -the ship. i must have the ship. now, give me what i want. sybok, this is not the god of sha'ka'ree, or any other god. i don't understand. -reveal yourself to me. what's wrong? don't you like this face? i have so many. but this one suits you best. -no, no, it's not possible. bring me the ship, or i will destroy you. the ship. bring it closer, so that i might join with it. do it, or watch these puny things die horribly. -kirk to enterprise. listen carefully. sybok: spock. sybok. -this is my doing. this is my arrogance, my vanity. sybok, we must find a way... no! you must save yourselves. -forgive me, brother. forgive me. i couldn't help but notice your pain. my pain? it runs deep. -share it with me. enterprise, are you ready? in firing position. torpedo armed. but, captain, we're firing directly on your position. -send it down, mr. chekov. now! run! go! sybok. -let's get out of here. uhura: sulu, i've lost them. spock, get us out of here. thrusters are inoperative. -scotty on radio: scotty here, sir. please tell me the transporter is working. she's got partial power, sir. i might be able to take two of you. -beam up spock and dr. mccoy. now. now, just a damn minute. spock: thank you, mr. scott. -bring up the captain. scotty: all right. what about jim? we can't just leave him down there. -please get a grip on yourself, doctor. status report. klingon captain wishes to name his terms, mr. spock. on screen. this is captain klaa of the klingon empire. -attempt to raise shields or arm weapons, and i will destroy you. you are alive for a single reason. the renegade james t. kirk. hand him over, and i will spare your lives. my transporter stands ready to beam him aboard. -captain kirk is not among us. you lie. i'm a vulcan. i'm incapable of lying. captain kirk is on the planet below. -then give me his coordinates! general, i am in need of your assistance. my assistance? you are his superior officer. i am a foolish old man. -damn you, sir. you will try. spock on radio: klingon commander, someone wishes to speak with you. so it's me you want, you klingon bastards. -what are you waiting for? release him! kirk, my junior officer has something he wants to say to you. i apologize. the attack upon your vessel was not authorized by my government. -kirk, and now, may i present our new gunner? spock? welcome aboard, captain. i thought i was going to die. not possible. -you were never alone. please, captain, not in front of the klingons. would you care for a wee nip of scotch whiskey? i never thought i'd ever be drinking with a klingon. what are you two conspiring about? -we were just saying how far we've come in such a short space of time. we certainly have. she has wonderful muscles. cosmic thoughts, gentlemen? we were speculating. -is god really out there? maybe he's not out there, bones. maybe he's right here. human heart. spock? -i was thinking of sybok. i've lost a brother. yes. i lost a brother once. i was lucky. -i got him back. i thought you said men like us don't have families. i was wrong. are you just gonna sit there and pluck that thing, or are you gonna play something? life is but a dream -gently down the stream merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily row, row, row your boat gently down the stream life is but a dream -merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily row, row, row your boat gently down the stream life is but a dream merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily -row, row, row your boat life is but a dream... gently down the stream... captain's log, stardate 45047.2. we are en route to the uninhabited el-adrel system, near the territory of an enigmatic race, the children of tama. -the tamarians arrived at el-adrel iv nearly three weeks ago. they have been sending a signal towards federation space ever since. the signal is a mathematical progression with no specific message. but they wanted us to notice them. apparently. -starfleet thinks they are attempting communication. commander? our vessels have met tamarian ships seven times over the past 1 00 years. each meeting went without incident. but relations were not set up. communication was not possible. -why? the children of tama were called incomprehensible by capt silvestri. others accounts are alike. a cause for concern. they may be threatening our border. -previous accounts suggest a peaceable race. we have to start from there. agreed. i appreciate your prudence, but starfleet believes the tamarians have extended a hand. we must do the same. -the children of tama. i've heard rumours about them for years. indeed. but are they truly incomprehensible? in my experience, communication is a matter of patience, imagination. i would like to believe we have these qualities in sufficient measure. rai and jiri at lungha. -rai of lowani. lowani under two moons. jiri of ubaya. ubaya of crossed roads at lungha. lungha, her sky grey. -rai and jiri at lungha. counsellor? i sense nothing but good intentions from them. mr data? he seems to be stating the proper names of individuals and locations. -y es, but what does it all mean? i am at a loss, sir. captain, would you be prepared to consider the creation of a non-aggression pact between our two peoples, possibly leading to a trade agreement and cultural interchange? does this sound like a reasonable course of action? kadir beneath mo moteh! -the river temarc! in winter. impressions? they're trying their best. as are we. for what it's worth. -shaka. when the walls fell. darmok. darmok? rai and jiri at lungha! shaka. when the walls fell. -zima at anzo! zima and bakor! darmok at tanagra! shaka! mirab, his sails unfurled! -darmok. mirab. temarc! the river temarc. darmok and jalad at tanagra. -block their transport on the shield. not enough time. where is he? they have transported picard to the planet with their captain. riker to o'brien! -not possible to transport, sir. their ship has created a particle scattering field in the ionosphere. space, the final frontier. these are the voyages of the starship enterprise. its continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds,... ..to seek out new life and new civilisations,... -..to boldly go where no one has gone before. riker to capt picard. do you read me, captain? can we compensate? no, sir. -they are projecting a particle- sustaining beam into the atmosphere. the result is a hyper-ionisation, disrupting em and subspace carriers. so they can't communicate with their man either or beam anyone through. correct. however, they have left sensor frequencies clear. then they can tell what's going on. -analysis, mr worf. what the hell is going on? a contest, perhaps. between champions. our captain against theirs. -theirs was armed. darmok and jalad. y ou want to fight with me? is that it? a challenge? -darmok and jalad. i don't know who or what darmok or jalad are, but i didn't come here to start a war. darmok and jalad at tanagra! sorry, captain. shaka. when the walls fell. -sensors show that the two captains are in apparent good health, about 20 metres from each other. hail the tamarian ship. on screen. y ou have our captain. i want him released. -darmok at tanagra. this could be interpreted as an act of war. kiteo. his eyes closed. chenza at court. the court of silence. -chenza! any way to get through to them? not without further study. close the channel, mr worf. gladly, sir. -worf, i want you to assemble a team, take a shuttle down to the planet, bring back the captain. aye, commander. the tamarians are able to stop a shuttle. i'm aware of that. but disrupting our transporter beam and firing on a shuttle are different things. -i'm betting they won't push it that far. shaka. when the walls fell. shaka indeed. what now, captain? -will you attack me in my sleep? if i don't freeze to death first. darmok of kanza. jalad of the kituay. picard of the federation. of the starship enterprise. -of the planet earth! kadir beneath mo moteh. temba. temba? what does that mean? -fire? does temba mean fire? temba. his arms wide. temba is a person? his arms wide. because he's... he's holding them apart in... in generosity. in giving. -in taking? temba. his arms wide. thank you. thank you! first officer's log, supplemental. -i'm sending a shuttlecraft to find capt picard, gambling that the tamarians will sit tight and not risk exchange of fire. the positron density is 0.01 3. electron concentration 7.95. particle gradient, four over seven. we are 250 kilometres from the planet's surface. -the shuttle has reached the e region of the planet's ionosphere. how long can we maintain communication? the tamarian scattering layer is in the upper d region. the shuttle will reach that area in two minutes. the tamarian ship? -unchanged, sir. they appear to be making no attempt to stop us. maybe we called their bluff. status? navigational, life support, propulsion normal. -on-board systems do not appear to be disrupted, but i can barely read you. maintain communication as long as conditions permit. i am reading a power surge in the tamarian plasma reactor. it worf, evasive manoeuvre sequence delta. sequence delta. -the shuttle has been hit. damage? the starboard nacelle has been rendered inoperable. that's all? riker to worf. report. -starboard thrusters destroyed. i may be able to land, but i will not be able to take off. understood. return to the enterprise, mr worf. aye, sir. -enough to turn them back, but not hurt them. y es, sir. the phaser pulse was attenuated for just that effect. nice shooting. i can punch up the beam enough to get the captain through the field, but it'll take me at least a full day. capt picard could be dead by then. -i do not believe so. i have confidence in his ability as a warrior. he will be victorious. y ou still assume this is a challenge. we can't be certain of that. agreed. we're only making guesses about their motivations, no more. -then why wait? if we attack them, they cannot maintain their scattering field. which might start a shooting match and still not save the captain. it would end this stalemate. it's too much of a risk! -i'll take that course when it's the last one left. who the hell are these people? there has to be a way to get through. with more study it may be possible. then do it. deanna, help him. -i want something by 0900 hours. now, where have you gone to, my friend? forgive the intrusion, captain, but i need some answers. darmok at tanagra! shaka! -mirab, his sails unfurled! darmok! mirab! freeze. darmok. -darmok. well, it seems to be a point of contention between them. something the tamarian captain proposed that the first officer didn't like. the apparent emotional dynamic supports that. as with the other terms used by the tamarian, this appears to be a proper noun. -the name clearly carries a meaning. computer, search for the term "darmok" in all linguistic databases. searching. darmok is the name of a seventh-dynasty emperor on kanda iv. a mytho-historical hunter on shantil lll. -a colony on malindi vii. a frozen dessert on tazna v. a... stop search. how many entries are there for darmok? 47. all our technology and experience, our universal translator, our years in space, contact with more alien cultures than i remember... i have encountered 1 ,754 non-human races during my tenure in starfleet. and we still can't even say hello to these people. -correct. a single word can lead to tragedy. one word misspoken or misunderstood. and that could happen here if we fail. replay at time index 1 44. -darmok at tanagra! freeze. computer, search for the term "tanagra", all databases. searching. tanagra. -the ruling family on gallos ll. a ceremonial drink on lerishi iv. an island continent on shantil lll. stop. shantil lll. computer, cross-reference that with the previous search index. -darmok is a mytho-historical hunter on shantil lll. i think we've got something. captain's log. darmok! darmok and jalad at tanagra! -i was curious. i meant no harm. shaka! temba. his arms like temba! enough! i will not fight you! -y ou will just have... darmok and jalad at tanagra. temba, his arms wide. i'll go along with that. commander, sensors are picking up an electromagnetic disturbance approaching the captain. analysis? -a variable induction field. possibly a life form. how close is it to the captain? the field is erratic, appearing and disappearing, but it appears to be moving toward him. attacking? -riker to la forge. la forge here. how much longer on the transporter? two hours, maybe three. i want the captain out now! -that's not very likely, sir. i don't want to hear that. lefler, what's the resonance frequency? 0.34 over standard. i want 0.53 at the very least. -commander, i need two minutes. there's a good chance it won't work. if it fails... i know. we will have tipped our hand to the tamarians. -but it's a chance we have to take. agreed. la forge, proceed. we're on it. la forge out. riker to transporter room one. -o'brien here, commander. stand by, mr o'brien. mirab, his sails unfurled? come! shaka, when the walls fell. -shaka, when the walls fell. shaka. y ou said that before, when i was trying to build a fire. is that a failure? an inability to do something? darmok and jalad... -..at tanagra. i remember the words, but i don't understand! matrix levels? annular convergence, 439.205. confinement resolution, 0.527. -that won't do it. increase thermal input coefficient to 1 50 percent. increasing. status, la forge? we're almost there, commander. lefler, shunt the overload to the sequencers in transporter one. -y es, sir. la forge to o'brien. go ahead. commander. confirm phase-sequencer linkage. link confirmed. -ready whenever you are, sir. uzani. his army at lashmir! at lashmir? was it like this at lashmir? a similar situation to the one here? -uzani. his army with fist open. a strategy, with fist open? with fist open. his army with fist closed. with fist closed. -an army with fist open. to lure the enemy. with fist closed to attack? that's how you communicate, isn't it? by citing example! -by metaphor! uzani's army with fist open! sokath! his eyes uncovered! no! -i've got a piece of him, that's all. boost the confinement beam. 1 57 over standard. it's as solid as it'll go. the tamarian and the entity are in close proximity. -the tamarian's life signs are fluctuating. the scattering field is still on. what the hell is wrong with them? they can see what's going on. riker to o'brien, report. -the field's still deflecting the signal. there just isn't enough of him. open a channel to the tamarians. aye, sir. y our captain is under attack! -drop your particle field. kailash! when it rises. they have closed the channel. o'brien to bridge. -i can't hold him. shaka. when the walls fell. first officer's log, stardate 45048. 8. our attempt to transport capt picard back has failed. -my options are narrowing, my patience all but gone. the situation is that the entity has moved off several hundred metres. capt picard's bio-scan readings are stable. the tamarian's are not. he may be injured. if the entity attacks again, the captain may face it alone. -the transporter isn't usable. the tamarians have deepened the scattering field to the d region. we can't get through. unless we attack the ship. can you find the source of their beam? -they have a polarity-coil generator. it's pretty heavily shielded. could we get through with our phasers? not with the first spread. it'd take a few hits. -that's not good enough. we need to knock out their field with one shot, get the captain back before they know it. we could target the amplification pathways around the generator. we can do it in one burst. how long would it take? -worf and i would have to adjust the pre-fire chamber for focus. a few hours? make it so. i would prefer a peaceful solution. if we could talk our way out, that much the better. -sadly, it may not be that simple. what did you find out? the tamarian ego structure does not allow what we call self-identity. their ability to abstract is highly unusual. they communicate through narrative imagery, a reference to people and places from their mytho-historical accounts. -it's as if i were to say to you, "juliet on her balcony". an image of romance. exactly. lmagery is everything to them. it embodies their emotional states, their very thought processes. -it's how they communicate and how they think. if we know how they think, can't we get across to them? no. it is like understanding the grammar of a language, but none of the vocabulary. if i didn't know who juliet was or why she was on that balcony, the image alone wouldn't have any meaning. correct. -for instance, we know that darmok was a great hero, a hunter, and that tanagra was an island, but that's it. without the details, there's no understanding. we have to learn the narrative from which tamarians draw their imagery. given our current relations, that does not appear likely. darmok and jalad... ..at tanagra. -our situation is similar to theirs. i understand that. but i need to know more. y ou must tell me more about darmok and jalad. tell me... y ou used the words, "temba, his arms wide" -when you gave me the knife and the fire. could that mean "give"? temba, his arms wide. darmok. give me more about darmok. -darmok on the ocean. darmok. darmok. the ocean. darmok on the ocean. -a metaphor? for being alone? isolated? darmok on the ocean. are you alright? -kiazi's children, their faces wet. temba, his arms open. give me more about darmok on the ocean. tanagra on the ocean. darmok at tanagra. -at tanagra. a country? tanagra on the ocean. an island! temba, his arms wide. jalad on the ocean. jalad at tanagra. -jalad at tanagra. he went to the same island as darmok. darmok and jalad at tanagra. the beast at tanagra. the beast? -there was a creature at tanagra? darmok and jalad, the beast of tanagra. they arrive separately. they struggle together against a common foe, the beast at tanagra. darmok and jalad. at tanagra. -darmok and jalad on the ocean. they left together. darmok and jalad on the ocean. the ocean. zinda! -his face black, his eyes red... callimas. at bahar. y ou hoped that something like this would happen, didn't you? y ou knew there was a dangerous creature here and you knew from the tale of darmok that a danger shared might sometimes bring two people together. darmok and jalad at tanagra. y ou and me, here. -at el-adrel. kira at bakshi. temba, his arms wide. my turn? i'm not much of a storyteller. -besides, you wouldn't understand. shaka, when the walls fell. perhaps that doesn't matter. y ou want to hear it anyway. there's a story, a very ancient one, from earth. -i'll... i'll try and remember it. gilgamesh, a king. gilgamesh, a king. at uruk. he tormented his subjects. -he made them angry. they cried out aloud, "send us a companion for our king!" "spare us from his madness!" enkidu, a wild man from the forest, entered the city. -they fought in the temple. they fought in the streets. gilgamesh defeated enkidu. they became great friends. gilgamesh and enkidu at uruk. -at uruk. the... the new friends went out into the desert together, where the great bull of heaven was killing men by the hundreds. enkidu caught the bull by the tail. gilgamesh struck him with his sword. gilgamesh. -they were victorious. but enkidu fell to the ground, struck down by the gods. and gilgamesh wept bitter tears, saying, "he who was my companion... ..through adventure and hardship... ..is gone for ever." first officer's log, supplemental. -despite the risk of war, i have no choice but to break the stalemate. phasers nearly ready, sir. stand by to fire. commander, the tamarian's bio-scan is becoming unreadable. he may be dead, sir. -if we know that, so do the tamarians. riker to la forge. la forge here. i need those phasers. sir. -sensors show the entity is approaching capt picard's position. i understand your sacrifice, captain. unfortunately, if our friend out there has its way,... ..no one will ever know what you tried to do. nine metres and closing. the energy output of the entity has doubled. -six metres. la forge to bridge. y ou have phasers. fire. their particle-beam emitters are inoperative. scattering field is down, sir. -o'brien, energise. we got him, commander. maximum shields. aye, sir. red alert! -starboard shields at 52 percent. forward shields are gone. let's get out of here. that may not be possible. the starboard nacelle sustained a direct hit. -warp engines are off line. go to impulse. back us off. they are matching our manoeuvres. and firing. return fire, mr worf. full phasers. -firing. their shields are holding. they are firing again. our shields have failed. we cannot survive another hit. -hail the tamarian vessel. aye, captain. zinda! his face black, his eyes red. temarc. the river temarc! -in winter. darmok? and jalad. at tanagra. darmok and jalad... ..on the ocean. sokath, his eyes open! -the beast of tanagra. uzani, his army. shaka, when the walls fell. picard and dathon at el-adrel. mirab, with sails unfurled. -temba, his arms open. temba at rest. thank you. power has been restored, sir. new friends, captain? -i can't say, number one. but at least they're not new enemies. i hope i'm not intruding. of course not, number one. the damage report's ready for your review. -thank you. greek, sir? the homeric hymns, one of the root metaphors of our own culture. for the next time we encounter the tamarians? more familiarity with our own mythology might help us to relate to theirs. -the tamarian was willing to risk all of us just for the hope of communication, connection. now the door is open between our peoples. that commitment meant more to him than his own life. thank you, number one. captain's log, stardate 45 1 56. 1. -our mission to mudor v has been completed. since our next assignment will not begin for several days, we're enjoying a welcome respite from our duties. if it's a boy, michael, after my father. wait, we decided on hiro, after my father. we talked about this last night. -and decided on hiro. wait, i've got it. william. it's a great name, william o'brien. it's got a nice ring to it. it's alright. -he's just doing somersaults. here, feel. right there. he's gonna be a hell of a gymnast. may i? -sure. there, feel it? when he's not turning, he's kicking or punching. when i wanna sleep, he wakes up. at this point, i just wish it were over. i have to go. -transporter simulation on the bridge. bye-bye, michael. no. come on, geordi. no. -just try it once. it is not as hard as you think. i'm telling you, you will be terrific. alright. i feel silly. -i am the very model of a modern major-general i've information, vegetable, animal and mineral i can't do this, i cannot sing in front of people! y ou were terrific! a little off-pitch, but i can take care of that. ok, la forge as a modern major-general. captain, i'd like to introduce you to the winners of the primary-school science fair. -this is marissa, jay gordon and patterson. they're here for their tour. hello. can we see the battle bridge and torpedo bay? no, i'm afraid not. -but we will visit the hydroponics and astrophysics laboratories. i'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. well, if you'll come with me. i'm not sure who to feel sorry for, the captain or the kids. i want you to know, we're proud of our science-fair winners. -perhaps some of you will... choose to pursue a career in starfleet. well, then... what did you do for your science projects? i planted radishes in this special dirt and they came up all weird. i see. that's very, very commendable. and you? an analysis of the life span of the swarming moths on gonal iv. -they only live for 20 hours, then they all die. how interesting. and you? we're falling! what happened? sensors show subspace distortions and high-energy particles to starboard. -looks like we ran into a quantum filament. damage report. we lost primary life support. switching to secondary. impulse and warp engines are off line. another filament approaching, sir. -all decks, brace for impact. space, the final frontier. these are the voyages of the starship enterprise. its continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds,... ..to seek out new life and new civilisations,... ..to boldly go where no one has gone before. -counsellor? i'm alright. medical team to the bridge. trol to sickbay. counsellor troi to capt picard. -trol to engineering. counsellor troi to any crew member. please acknowledge. medical team to the bridge. computer's down. looks like we still have impulse power but not much else. -it monroe! chief o'brien. the turbolifts aren't working. we're trapped. are you children alright? -bridge, this is picard. this is the captain. anyone read me? why don't they answer? i don't know. they're all dead. -they're not dead. communication is down, that's all. we're going to die, too. we most certainly are not! now listen to me. -no one here is going to die. the bridge will be sending a rescue party soon. so i want you all to stop crying. everything is going to be alright. this is the starship enterprise calling any vessel in range. -we are in distress and need assistance. please respond. i'm not sure if we're even transmitting. i'll set it on auto-repeat, see if we get a response. are you alright? -i'm alive. what the hell happened? we were hit by a quantum filament. most systems are down. we can't contact anyone off the bridge. don't count on leaving through there. an emergency bulkhead closed. -confinement mode. isolation protocol. i'm not really familiar with that protocol. if the computer senses a hull breach, it closes emergency bulkheads to isolate it. until we clear those, we're cut off from the rest of the ship. -partial sensors back on line. picking up sporadic life signs throughout the saucer section. there are survivors. what about ten-forward? ten-forward? -my wife's there. sorry. the readings are not that specific. can you scan the drive section? no life signs in the drive section. -could it be a sensor malfunction? no way to know. without the main computer, i can't run a full diagnostic. can you sense anything, counsellor? there are a lot of people still alive. -many are hurt, but i can't tell where they are. we need emergency procedures. who's the duty officer? it monroe was in command, but she's dead. i believe counsellor troi is the senior officer on the deck. -counsellor troi? she carries the rank of lieutenant commander. i'd appreciate some suggestions. i recommend we initiate emergency procedure alpha two. bypass computer control and place all systems on manual override. -very well. aye-aye, sir. may i suggest that our next priority be to stabilise life support and to re-establish communications? y es. mr mandel, i'd like you to assist ensign ro. y es, sir. -how are you feeling? ok. a little foggy. lie still. we'll get you to sickbay soon. ok. report. -i have surveyed all the turbolifts and service crawlways. access to the bridge is severed. sickbay? heavy damage to section 23a has cut off access to sickbay. security will bring casualties here until further notice. -assume the worst, that everyone on the bridge is dead. no one controls the ship. in that circumstance, re-establishing control is our priority. agreed. can we get to engineering? no, sir. -the most direct route is blocked, but we can use a crawlway. ok. y ou and i will try. mr worf, this room will fill up with wounded, needing help. stay in charge here. y es, sir. -let's go. over here. y es, sir. ok. clear the power shunt. -the shunt is cleared. right. and bypass the flow current and... the computer still won't release the doors. can we force them open? we can try. -there's an emergency hand actuator. geordi? y eah? this wall is hot! where? -i'm alright. but i think we have a new problem. one of the energy conduits must have ruptured and ignited the polyduranide in the bulkhead. that's a plasma fire. putting out a lot of radiation. -we can't stay here for long. we got a bigger problem than that. the quartum in those containers is used in emergency thrusters. it's normally stable, but expose it to radiation, it has a way of exploding. the external power is cut off. -we're going to die. what was that? i don't know. y our name is marissa, is that right? well, marissa, i need a first officer to help me. -y ou're the eldest, so that makes you my number one. number one? that's what i always call my first officer. so, here. there. -now, number one, we need a crew to help us get that hatch off. don't you think jay would make an excellent science officer? jay, will you join our crew? it's jay gordon. of course. -forgive me, jay gordon. i accept. here. there. can i be an officer, too? -well, let me see. y our science project involved radishes, did it not? y es, sir. then i appoint you my executive officer in charge of radishes. there. -right. then let's get to work. 1 365 baker. that puts us right behind shuttle bay two. correct. we have 52 metres remaining in this crawlway before we can safely exit into a corridor. coolant leak! we can withstand this radiation for three or four hours without permanent damage. -we'll need hyronalin treatments. radiation levels in the quartum? they're at 83 rads and rising at four rads per minute. that stuff gets unstable at about 350 rads. i still can't get power to this transporter. -the radiation level is 20 percent lower at this end of the bay. let's move the containers here. good idea. it'll buy us some time. we'll have to do this by hand. with all this radiation, we can't trust the antigrav units. -there. just before the second hit. see the subspace distortion? y es. how big is a quantum filament? it can be hundreds of metres long. -but it has almost no mass, which makes it very difficult to detect. so, it's like a cosmic string? no, that's a completely different phenomenon. how did you do that? i diverted power from the phaser array and dumped it in the engineering control system. -y ou what? engineering station's on line. but that's a completely improper procedure! y ou can't dump raw energy into a bridge terminal... we will not get out of this by playing it safe! what is our engine status, ensign? -we've got half-impulse power available. but i've got odd readings from the warp drive. i read a spike in the warp-field array. it looks like a containment deviation. switch to primary bypass. -nothing. field strength's at 40 percent and falling. we've got a problem. the quantum resonance caused a polarity shift in the antimatter containment field. when the filament hit, the ship was momentarily charged, as if it came in contact with a live electrical wire. that weakened the containment field around the antimatter pods. -the field strength is at 40 percent and falling. if it falls to 1 5 percent, the field will collapse and we'll have a containment breach. which means? which means the ship will explode. commander, the current cannot be shut off from this relay box. -we can't just sit here. if the energy were interrupted by a non-conductive material, it is likely the circuit would be broken. we have nothing to handle so much current. commander, much of my body framework is made up of tripolymers, a non-conductive material. y ou're suggesting we use your body? -y es, sir. there's half a million amps in that arc. could your body handle that? the power surge would cause a systems failure in my processors and melt my primary power couplings. but there is a chance the damage would not be irreparable. -no. commander, our options are very limited. android or not, i wouldn't ask anyone to take that risk. and if the computer is not working in engineering i'll need your help to control the ship. my positronic brain has shielding to protect me from power surges. -it is possible for you to remove my cranial unit and take it with you. let me get this straight. y ou want me to take off your head? y es, sir. is something wrong, sir? -well, data... would you be alright? my memory and neural nets are self-contained. i would be fine. well, like you said, our options are limited. data! a remarkable experience. -are you alright? did the shielding work? apparently so, sir. my neural nets are still fully operational. y ou may begin by opening the ventral access panel two centimetres below my right ear. can you climb up? -y es, i think so. good. look down the sides of the lift. can you see two big clamps? y es, i see them. -can you see if those clamps are attached to... ..long beams inside big grooves? y es. but one of them looks broken. it's half out of the groove. alright. come down. -alright. number one. those big clamps are part of the emergency system. if anything goes wrong, they hold the turbolift in place. but it would seem that they're damaged. -is that why we keep shaking? that's right. now, when they give way, we shall fall. so you've got to get your crew out of here before that happens. now there is a ladder that runs along the wall of the shaft. -y ou can climb up that until you come to an open doorway. what about you? my ankle is broken. i will just slow you down when you need to move quickly. now, you are the leader. -and that's an order. we have to climb up the shaft. i want to stay here with you, captain. patterson, you're an officer. y ou have to obey orders. -i don't wanna be an officer any more. i wanna stay with you. if the captain stays here, we won't make it. we'll all die. we don't have time to argue. y ou must go now. -the crew has decided to stick together. we all go or we all stay. alright. i'll try. but i want you to know, this is mutiny. now, number one, look at that control panel. -now, the yellow control pad, hit that once. now the one below it, hit it twice. that should release the panel underneath. y es, it did. now, you can pull it away. -ok. good. that bundle of wires, that's optical cabling. see how much of that you can pull out. the levels are still rising. -there must be a way to put that fire out. it's fed by the ship's internal power grid. we can't get near that. the only way to stop it would be to eliminate its supply of oxygen. wait a minute! doctor, i've got an idea. -it's wild, but we just might kill two birds with one stone. let's hear it. ok. we open the external door, depressurise the cargo bay to suck these containers out. at the same time, the lack of oxygen should put out the plasma fire. what about us? -we hold on to something while the air evacuates. then, we close the door, repressurise the bay. what about this? y eah, that ought to do it. there, that should do it. there will be a sharp pain as i set the bone. prepare yourself. -good. y ou bore that well. keiko? i'm alright. i think. perhaps you should lie down. i'm having contractions. -that is not uncommon in the late months of pregnancy. no, i mean contractions. i'm going into labour. y ou cannot. this is not a good time, keiko. -it's not open for debate! like it or not, this baby is coming. if the containment-field strength continues to drop at this rate, we still have two hours before it's critical. y ou're ignoring the fact that the power coupling is also damaged. if it overheats, the field strength could drop a lot faster. -we could have a breach in minutes. what do you suggest? we should separate the saucer, and get as far away as we can from the drive section. excuse me, sir, but that's damn cold-blooded! what about the people there? -there's no evidence anyone's alive. no evidence they're dead, either! if you were trapped, would you like us to just leave? no, of course not. but i also wouldn't expect the bridge crew to risk the ship and hundreds of lives to rescue me. there is no way to stabilise the containment field from here. -could it be done from engineering? y es. but my readings indicate there's no power there. they don't even have monitors to say there's a problem. could we divert energy from the bridge to those monitors? y es, sir. -i will say it again, there is no reason to believe that anyone is still alive in engineering. we're wasting time talking about it. we have to separate the ship now! i believe there are still people alive down there. i'm going to give them every chance. -if they're alive, they're hoping someone can help them. so we'll help them. divert the power to engineering. aye, sir. i remind you, counsellor, that power coupling could overheat at any moment. -by not separating the ship, you could be responsible for all our deaths. thank you, ensign. proceed. i can't open this door. we're going to have to climb up to the next deck. -what if that one doesn't open either? then we'll never get out. quiet, both of you. that's an order. we're going up. ready? -ready, sir. the lift's falling! hang on! we're alright. we'll keep on climbing. -just don't look down. what's wrong? he's scared. we're right with you, patterson. y ou're not going to fall. -it will be alright if you keep climbing. what we need is a climbing song. marissa, is there a song you sing at school? the laughing vulcan and his dog? i'm afraid i don't know that one. -i know. frère jacques. that's a song i used to sing at school. patterson! do you know that one? good. it goes like this. -frère jacques, frère jacques dormez-vous? dormez-vous? sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong very good. now keep singing. frère jacques, frère jacques dormez-vous? dormez-vous? -sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong frère jacques, frère jacques dormez-vous? dormez-vous? sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong frère jacques, frère jacques... y our contractions are now only 30 seconds apart. dilation has gone to seven centimetres since the onset of labour. that did not take long. -that's easy for you to say! y ou are doing very well. i'm sure the child will arrive soon. worf, has the baby turned? turned? -so the head is down. dr crusher told me a few days ago it hadn't. she wasn't worried because i still had a month to go. i am not certain. can't you tell? worf, have you ever done this before, delivered a baby? y es. -no. i took the starfleet emergency medical course. in a computer simulation, i assisted in the delivery of a human baby. sometimes it doesn't go by the book, worf. i am sure everything will be fine. once the air is vented, you'll feel extreme pressure on your lungs. -resist the temptation to exhale. next our hands and feet will get cold, then numb, and some of the capillaries on exposed skin may burst. sounds like fun. we will have about 1 5 seconds of useful consciousness, then about ten seconds of disorientation, then we pass out. ok. once the air is evacuated, one of us needs to get to that panel to repressurise the bay. -we're ready. are you ok? the field strength is down to 20 percent. we cannot risk staying here. we're in no danger until it drops below 1 5 percent. -we can wait and see if engineering notices those monitors. have you prepared to separate the saucer? y es. we're in stand-by mode for docking latches. thermal inversion in the power coupling! cross-connect to the transfer coil. -that was close. what happened? what i said might! the coupling overheating and the field almost collapsed. o'brien's fixed it temporarily, but it could go at any moment. -next time we might not be able to stop it. don't let wishful thinking guide your decision. it's time to leave. we will separate the ship when i decide that it's time and not before. is that clear, ensign? -y es. perfectly. ok, try it. very good, commander. y ou have established a connection. i can now raise the door. -there's no power on this deck, yet these monitors are working. the power reaching those monitors is diverted from the bridge, sir. but why? unless there's something they want us... something they need us to see. wait! -the containment field is only 1 8 percent. can you stabilise it? no. i do not have access to the containment field. y ou must establish a new link. locate the odn conduit, sir. got it! -y es, sir. y ou must now change the input matrix of my secondary optical port and then connect the odn conduit. that is not the correct port, sir. sorry. y ou must hurry. the containment field has dropped to 1 6 percent. -i'm trying. y ou need a bigger head! the field continues to drop. collapse is imminent. try it now. i have made a connection. i am now stabilising the containment field. -sir, the field strength is stabilising. 1 8 percent. 20. 25. i guess they got our message. i was wrong, counsellor. -y ou could have easily been right. congratulations. y ou are fully dilated to ten centimetres. y ou may now give birth. that's what i've been doing! well, bearing down is the next stage. -it should start at full dilation. why has it not begun? i don't know! i don't think it's up to me. it happens when it happens. -the computer simulation was not like this. that delivery was very orderly. well, i'm sorry! did you feel an uncontrollable urge to push? good. y ou are bearing down. -now, you must push with each contraction. i must urge you gently but firmly to push harder. push, keiko. push hard. push, keiko! push. -i am pushing! the baby is emerging head first. good. one more contraction. ok! that's good. push. -push. hard. i have the baby. i will smack the child to induce breathing. i will cut the umbilical cord. blanket. -ok. i believe she looks like chief o'brien. hello. y ou were wonderful, worf. i couldn't have done it without you. -hello. captain's log, supplemental. we are en route to starbase 67 to undergo repairs. life aboard the ship is slowly returning to normal. now just wait here. -just can't stay away from the big chair, can you? i'm not cut out to be captain. first officer, maybe. i understand there aren't many qualifications. capt picard to the bridge. please! hello. it's good to see you again. -what brings you to the bridge? in appreciation for the way you helped us out of the turboshaft and the way you helped us not be scared, we want to present to you this commemorative plaque. give it to him. thank you. thank you very much. -i made the back piece. a wonderful job you did of it, too. this afternoon, we're going to finish the tour i promised, starting with the battle bridge. i'll see you at 1 400 hours. take the bridge, number one. -aye, sir. aye, sir. hi, sophia. boy, i tell you, there is nothing more invigorating than spending a little time on a boat. oh, yeah? -not when i sailed to america. picture it. there we were - a tired, poor, huddled mass eating marinara sauce out of a can. it was hell. and the entertainment? -some guy from palermo forgot his accordion, so he sat around singing "0 solo mio" while squeezing a monkey. sophia. sophia what? it was the worst time of my life. if it weren't for pin the tail on the french, we would've gone stir-crazy. -hi, sophia. rose, i was just telling sophia what a wonderful day we had. wonderful, my foot. blanche, you saw that dolphin. all tangled up in that tuna boat's net. -thousands of them die that way each year. we have to do something. you are absolutely right. from this moment on, no more tuna fish. blanche, you hate tuna fish. -all right. then no more tuna fishermen. hi, girls. do these pearls look ok with this? honey, pearls look fine with everything, from the fanciest dress to... that. -you have another date with ken. oh, sophia, do you believe it? and i thought my head was spinning from the splash of vino in my lemonade. sophia, you don't put wine in your lemonade. no. -you're right. i don't. it was a joke. ha-ha. your ken is quite a catch, dorothy. -for once i'm a bit jealous. what's not to be jealous about? the man's gorgeous. he's got money and class. i couldn't be happier for you, dorothy. -i just want to give you a loving mother's advice: don't blow it! ma, i have no intention of blowing this. no, ken is perfect. i mean, aside from being one of miami's most successful lawyers... -thank you, ma. the man is caring. he's sensitive. do you know that on weekends, he actually puts on a clown's costume and entertains sick kids at the hospital? (doorbell) -i mean, what more could i want from a man? get it out of the gutter, blanche. dorothy. hi, sweetheart. how was your day? -my ulcer didn't flare up and i'm having dinner with you. so i guess it's perfect. hi, ken. hey, kenny. what's a nice boy like you doing with ulcers anyway? -you got a job and a girl who'll do anything for you. anything. you will, won't you, dorothy? i'll take that as a "have a good time." don't worry, mrs. petrillo. -i'll have your little girl home at a reasonable hour. don't bother. you kids have fun. i won't wait up. have her back by tuesday. -no questions asked. she's gonna blow it. ok, paul, we'll see you at the rally on pier five. oh, the dolphin will really appreciate it. oh, isn't this exciting? -taking part in a protest. standing up as free americans and exercising our right to say: "we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore!" i'm out of spit. can i go now? -20 envelopes and you're ready to quit? blanche, we joined the friends of sea mammals for a reason. you are so unmotivated. well, when i joined this mammals with blowholes thing, i didn't expect to be carrying picket signs on some grungy dock. -i was hoping more for a fundraiser cocktail party with chinese lanterns and portuguese, no, hispanic waiters in tight black pants. and we hire a band to play fish songs in pirate suits with muscles bulging. your mouth is watering now, blanche. keep licking. hi, girls. -you two are back early. of course we're back early. ken called before. he says he needs to talk to dorothy about something very important. dorothy! -my god, dorothy, he's gonna pop the question. oh, i don't know that. of course you do. what else could it be? honey, congratulations. -you're more excited than i am. well, why not, dorothy? just think of it. life with a successful attorney. the summer homes, the glamorous social circles, those impulsive little trips to europe with rascally romans pinching your bottom. -you're a lucky girl, dorothy. i hate you. this is just crazy talk. i mean, we've only been seeing each other for three months. i've never even thought of what it would be like if i were -mrs. kenneth whittingham. has a nice ring to it. (doorbell) go get 'em, pussycat. just remember, you and i come as a package. -ma! hi. sweetheart, i am so excited. oh? it's just that i've come to a major decision. -oh? and it's a decision that affects both of us. ohh? sit down. close your eyes and i'll give you a hint. -okey-dokey. well? can you guess what my decision is? you're becoming irish? no. -i'm becoming a clown. a full-time circus clown. ken, isn't this a bit sudden? odd and a bit sudden? no. -i've been doing it for years at children's hospitals. it's been the one bright spot in my life. that and you. dorothy, i've been lawyering 70 hours a week since i was 25. can change a man. -yeah, but you're so successful. i'm also 60 and i'm miserable. ah, i went to law school so i could fight for the little guy. now i'm fighting for multinational corporations. i'm so frazzled, i find myself sneaking into the washroom to make balloon giraffes. -dorothy, i really need for you to understand this. i've been thinking a lot lately. i think we're in this for the long haul. dorothy, i think this is going to be a very serious relationship. i feel like a virgin. -where do the noses go? i'm sorry. i'm sorry. what do you say? you with me? -of course. oh, great. how about a celebration? i'm dining with friends from the circus. join me? -might as well get my feet wet. oh, ken. there won't be, like, a dozen tiny dogs, hopping on hind legs, wearing funny hats? oh, i wish. oh, come on, tell me. -how big a disaster was last night? it wasn't a disaster, blanche. it was just uncomfortable. i tried to find common ground, something i could talk to ken's circus friends about. but it turns out the human cannonball doesn't do that much reading. -does ken know how you feel? he asked me how i felt, if i had a good time, and i had to tell him the truth. i just didn't fit in with the other clowns' wives. dorothy, i've been thinking. it might help you get your mind off this ken thing for a while. -why don't you join us at the rally? oh, no-- oh, yeah, dorothy. oh, do. oh, get out of yourself. -it's for a noble cause. or are you so self-centered that you'd rather wallow in self-pity? you're right. i'll do it. oh, good. -rose, dorothy's taking my place. there you are, pussycat. what's this news about ken? he gave you a ring, didn't he? yeah. -three of them. look, ma, i don't know how to say this, so i'll just give it to you straight out. ken is becoming a clown. scusi? ma, he's tired of being a lawyer, so he's joining the circus. -what did you do to him? i didn't do anything. yeah, right. one day the man's a lawyer, the next he's a clown. perfectly natural. -ma, please! this is hard enough as it is. i'm sorry, sweetheart. i just tend to get a little upset when people ruin my life! sophia, i don't know what all the hullabaloo is about. -dating a circus clown would be a dream come true for me. reach for the stars, rose. no, it would. think about it. seeing him push those little pigs around in a baby carriage. -getting hit with a bucket of confetti any time you want. and sitting up there in the stands, watching him sweep that spotlight into a little circle and thinking, "that's my man!" it's getting hot in here. why did this happen? just when i meet someone that i feel i have a future with, ken does this. -i know i should be more supportive, but the fact is, i'm embarrassed. don't be ridiculous, dorothy. you love the man for who he is. it's not like he's driving you around in a tiny car with a giant key on the back. is he? -(doorbell) hi, sweetheart. you are driving the lincoln tonight? sure. oh, two things. -we're doubling with phil and nancy tonight. two things you have to remember: call them "little people." and they hate to be patted on the head. i found out the hard way. -kenny. come here. what's with this clown business? couldn't you be a lawyer and just hang out with clowns? i know it sounds a little odd, mrs. petrillo, but right now i'm just burned out on law. -frankly, i think i can contribute more to the world in big red shoes and a spinning bow tie and carrying a little umbrella that rains on me. i see. dorothy? here. what did you do to him? -we may not agree with the fishermen, but we want this demonstration to be peaceful. in the tradition of... you know, the short, bald indian fellow with the glasses and the diaper. you know, the one who didn't eat and won an oscar. your sign's drooping again. now, what's the matter? -it's ken. i don't know which end is up. he called me this morning. he wants me to travel with the circus. i'm afraid we're gonna have to call it quits. -oh, honey, i'd think twice before i cut that guy off. at your age, how many chances at the brass ring do you have left? all creatures must learn to coexist. back where i come from, they do. that's why the brown bear and the field mouse can share their lives and live in harmony. -'course, they can't mate, or the mice would explode. well, you know what i mean. i think rose needs to work on her metaphors. i know you're down in the dumps, but i'm so glad you came. i really want us to make a difference today. -blanche, i am impressed. you have really changed your tune. it's funny how that happened. there i was, staying up last night, coming up with excuses to get out of this. and then it occurred to me. -i said, "water lily..." that's what i call myself sometimes. oh. "water lily, you've never done anything like this in your life. now, this is important. -"for the love of mother earth and the love of mother nature, commit yourself to this, blanche devereaux!" isn't that exciting? caught a rerun of flipper on cable, did you? a particularly touching one. where flipper comes to the rescue. -it was only after that i picked up rose's pamphlets and read about these magnificent creatures. oh, that's beautiful. water lily? uh-huh. all right, you dolphin people, get away from the gate. -watch it. what are you... why can't you people see the light? why can't you people see that there's another point of view? get away from here. -take your hands off me! let her go! sweetheart, i came as soon as i could. things got out of hand down at the dock. i'm fine. -don't worry. i called ken. he's parking the car. oh! did you hear that? -did you hear that? ken is going to save us. everybody, did you hear that? we'll be out of here in no time. my mother called my boyfriend, a top miami lawyer. -nothing to worry about. we are in good hands. oh! dorothy, sweetheart, there you are. my god! -ma, you didn't tell me he was in a clown suit! oh, yeah. ken, how could you? sophia called me at rehearsal. i'll change. -i just wanted to make sure you were all right. (honking) is counsel for the demonstrators present? here, your honor. oh, god. -will the clown approach the bench? dorothy, i can do this. can you do it without the nose? yes. what the hell are you trying to do? -i know this looks odd. but i am a registered member of the bar. i have a card here to prove it. we're going to jail. i believe you, counselor, i believe you. -just proceed. thank you, your honor. make it quick. your honor, this may be my very last appearance before the bar. would you indulge me just a little? -thank you. you know, i have been practicing law for many, many years, and it's always amazed me how little my job actually had to do with justice. this stuff sounds a little better when you've got lapels and a vest. anyway, my clients are charged with trespass. but the only real crime they committed was their overzealous championing of the defenseless dolphin. -the dolphin, your honor, that for centuries has rescued men lost at sea, guided ships back to port. no, my clients were not trespassing. my clients were returning the favor. they simply wanted to protect some of nature's best creations from extinction. your honor... you have the opportunity today to make a very disillusioned lawyer happy. -please answer to a law higher than this state's, and dispense some real justice here. please, let's have a little quiet here. that was a great speech. thank you, your honor. but help me out here. -how about something from a law book? ok. the fracas occurred on a seaside dock abutting navigable waters. i don't believe that this court has any jurisdiction. that sounds legal to me. -counselor, your last day has been a good one. case dismissed. i want you two jailbirds to feel at home. dinner's at six. pass it on. -rose, honey, what is the matter? we didn't accomplish anything today, blanche. those tuna fishermen will be out there again tomorrow doing the same thing. i swear, i feel like a failure. you can't change the world in one day. -but just think about what we did do. i bet we saved a few dolphin by keeping that boat off the water, and the next time you're walking along the beach and you see a school swim by, why, you can think, "maybe i saved those gorgeous creatures from those horrible nets." you still think we were a failure? you're right. -i just wish we could save 'em all. you wanna do more? fine. let's go back down to the dock. really? -sure. i know a waterfront bar where a lot of foreign fishermen hang out. do you think they'd listen to me? well, sure, they will, honey. they don't speak english and they're horny. -where are you going? to demonstrate. to celebrate. so, anything special you want to do tonight? ken... -there is something. dorothy, you know you have the most beautiful eyes? and a quarter in your ear. we really have to talk. what's the matter? -i don't know whether this is harder to say or harder to hear. ken, you're a lovable man, with a lot of lovable qualities, but... i don't love you. it's this clown thing, isn't it? i thought that's what was bothering me. -but, ken, if i loved you, i'd follow you anywhere. i'm sorry. i see. i think we were both trying too hard to make this work. you on your terms, me on mine. -but i know that i am not prepared to give up my life. and, ken, could you give up the circus for me? could you give up the laughter? the smiles on those children's faces? do you know something, dorothy? -i don't think i could. could i give up the fat lady for you? no. could i give up the elephants for you? no. -the chimps? the sword-swallower-- ken. i think i have a grip on this. i guess at our age, we do a lot of wishful thinking. -we did come close, though. if the circus is ever in town, i'll leave the tent flap open for you. i'm gonna miss you. i most emphatically am not married, which, at the moment, happens to be the heart of my problem. i'm not mrs. reardon. -female narrator: tonight on murder, she wrote. they'll kill him, after torturing him. what is money when the life of a loved one hangs in the balance? get out. -now! the exchange is set for tomorrow. 1300 hours. ...to a marriage that's clearly in deep trouble. you mean to say he's brought an american civilian in on the operation? i have been tricked, lied to, pumped for information. -freeze! (guns being cocked) (man speaking in greek) (commanding in greek) michael: -oh, that's marvelous, pamela. that's ruddy marvelous. you've totally mucked things up. yes, of course i'm sympathetic, assuming that it really is your appendix and not some... liar? -did i call you a liar? fine. you needn't shout. there's nothing wrong with the damn connection! pamela, i'm sorry. -i said, i'm sorry. i apologize for having misjudged you. i hope it all goes well. give my best to your surgeon, whoever he may be. ciao. -(sighs) (ringing) yes? oh, london? put him through. -alfie, boyo, what've you got? nothing yet? no, no. no problem. tomorrow'll be fine. -yeah, cable me in athens at the hotel grande bretagne, in the name of mr. and mrs. michael reardon. r-e-a... no, no, no, you silly twit, i most emphatically am not married, which, at the moment, happens to be the heart of my problem. it was delightful having you with us once again, madame fletcher. -thank you, monsieur le bon. i wish it were more often. jessica? jessica! i can't believe it. -michael, for heaven sakes! are you... are you just arriving? i'm just leaving. you mean to tell me that you've been staying right here in this hotel? -for the past 24 hours. just a short stopover. i'm here on (clears throat) business. -don't tell me. i don't want to know. well, i couldn't if i wanted to. it's very hush-hush. and you? -you're on vacation? well, not exactly. it's an international book tour. i don't know how i got talked into it. well, i know how. -because you're a soft touch. people take advantage of you. well, you should know. madame fletcher, pardon. i have just heard from the airport. -your flight to cairo is delayed at least eight hours. oh, dear. not to worry. you're coming with me. what? -yeah, i have a flight to athens that leaves in an hour. you can take a connecting flight to cairo from there. oh, michael, i don't know. it can't be that simple. but of course it is. -our luggage. this is really wonderful, you know. it'll give us a couple of hours to catch up on things. michael... oh, come on now. -where's that adventurous jessica fletcher i know and adore? well, she was last seen in a san francisco jail, the gullible victim of a certain ml6 agent's flimflam. ah, jessica darling, if you only knew how often i've regretted that little episode. now you tell me! (laughing) -...and on friday, i'll catch up with you in cairo, and we'll drive south to the valley of the kings. oh, that sounds like fun. but if you're too busy, please don't feel... no, nonsense. by the weekend, i'll be as free as a bird, i promise. -woman on pa: air macedonia flight 14 to salonika now boarding... a reservation for mrs. j.b. fletcher on your 3:30 flight to cairo. oh, jess, you're in for a wonderful treat. i'm sorry, but we have no reservation for a mrs. fletcher. -oh, dear. that can't be. clerk: and the flight is fully booked. jessica: -yes, but... however, we do have another flight tomorrow afternoon. well, i'm afraid that doesn't help very much. is there another airline that has a flight to cairo this afternoon? clerk: -i'm sorry. they, too, are booked. oh, dear. michael... michael? -excuse me, aren't you j.b. fletcher? well, yes, i... oh, how delightful. yeah, i thought i recognized you from your dust jacket. i'm so sorry. -what seems to be the trouble, mrs. fletcher? well, i seem to have lost someone. someone who has a habit of getting himself lost at the oddest times. oh, do forgive my manners. harold baines. -oh. "global omnionics limited"? yes, it's just one of those boring multinational conglomerates in which nobody's quite certain what the company actually does. i see. so, what can i do to help? -well, i'm not really sure. you see, my friend has vanished, along with my airline reservation, and it looks as if i'm stranded here in athens for the next 24 hours. oh, how dreadful. listen, my car's just outside. why don't you let me drive you to your hotel? -i don't have one. oh, dear. yes, and i'm afraid there isn't a single first-class room available in all of athens just now. international trade fair, you know. "oh, dear" is right! -oh, i know! got it. of course. yes, our corporation maintains a very lovely two-bedroom, a sort of courtesy suite, at the hotel grande bretagne. now, please, mrs. fletcher, do me the honor of accepting our hospitality. -oh, well, that is terribly kind of you, mr. baines, but i... no, no, no, dear lady, not to worry. i will tell the airline people where you can be reached, and the moment we arrive at the hotel, i'll notify the police of your friend's disappearance. done and done? -yes? yes? marvelous. well, here we are. i don't know cabot cove. -i don't even know maine, actually. it's quite north, isn't it? lots of snow? now and then. oh, let me have your passport, jessica. -oh. i'll take care of your registration. well, thank you, harold. you're really very kind. oh, rubbish. -(knocking on door) yes? oh. i do hope everything's satisfactory. oh, yes, it's lovely, harold. -have you... have you spoken to the police? beg pardon. compliments of the management, mrs. reardon. mrs. reardon? -oh, there must be some mistake. thank you very much. oh, thank you, sir. do let me take that for you. mrs. reardon? -would that by any chance be mrs. michael reardon, would it? is that the name that he's using this week? well, actually, yes. ah. which means that you, mr. baines, must be an ml6 agent in sheep's clothing? -michael said you might be upset. yes, michael was right. and, the reservation to cairo. never made? i'm afraid not, no. -but it is true to say that there are no rooms available here in athens. well, isn't it nice that you don't have to lie about everything? where is he? i haven't the foggiest. as i was approaching you at the airport, two men were converging on him. -men who clearly meant him harm. i suspect michael thought so, too, which explains why he left rather quickly. but i really shouldn't worry. michael is quite adept at looking after himself. oh, he is that. -mrs. fletcher, i admit that michael does have a penchant for highhandedness, but i do hope you'll continue to pose as mrs. reardon, at least until michael's out of harm's way. be assured, mr. baines, that i will do everything in my power to help ensure his safe return. so that i can get my hands on him. good day. popadopalous: -of course i know it's confidential. why else would i be here? now, tell me, dutchman, what exactly am i paying for? patience, mr. popadopalous, patience. i have the information you have been waiting for. -mr. and mrs. reardon arrived in athens on the 2:00 flight from paris. they are occupying suite 324 at the hotel grande bretagne. and is that all of it? when i know more, i will tell you more. and when you tell me more, -i will pay you more. now, listen to me carefully. i want to know all of their movements. understand? i am here to serve, my friend. -olympus gems. alec scofield here. ah, mr. stuyvesant. what a pleasant surprise. i haven't heard from you for at least 48 hours. -i assume you are aware, colonel, that a mr. and mrs. reardon are occupying a certain suite at the hotel grande bretagne. perhaps i am mistaken. it was my impression your organization was taking no part in this particular transaction. get to the point. what you may not know is that the reardons are expected to attend a party this evening, at the home of one dimitri popadopalous. -really? tell me, dutchman, how much might it cost to secure an invitation to mr. popadopalous' party? very well. come by later and pick up your money. well, at least the old thief didn't try to sell me the news of michael's arrival. -what about the woman with him? an american author. potboilers. people being murdered in locked rooms. all that sort of thing. -i can't believe it. he's running an independent show on my patch. damn it, he knows full well the prime minister's position on dealing with terrorists. yes. colonel, when michael asked me to pitch in, -i rather suspected it might have something to do with laddie fairchild's kidnapping, but i swear i never believed for a moment that he'd do anything outside of regulations. rubbish. that's the only way that michael haggarty operates. now, what's his plan? well, i... -i am not privy to his entire scheme, sir. not as yet. but it would appear to require that he have a bogus wife. you mean to say he's brought an american civilian in on the operation? my god, the man must have gone mad. -yes. in... in his defense, colonel, michael does seem convinced that the kidnappers are just that, garden-variety hoodlums rather than terrorists or gunrunners. baines, i want you to stay on this like fog on tower bridge. i expect to be informed of every breath the man takes. -mrs. reardon? oh. excuse me. henryk stuyvesant at your service, madam. please forgive me. -i did not wish to startle you. oh, no. no, i... i just didn't realize that anyone knew that i was here. may i? -oh, please. a great pity about mr. fairchild. fairchild? oh, yes. yes, it is. -i am curious, mrs. reardon. would you know when the transaction will be taking place? transaction? i... i really can't tell you about that, mr. stuyvesant. -perhaps you could at least inform me of the location. no. no, no, i... i really can't say. i see. -the other party in the transaction... oh, dear. the name's on the tip of my tongue. madam, people pay me for information. oh, yes. -yes, of course. i came here, mrs. reardon, because of my great compassion for laddie fairchild. i am only sorry that you cannot share my trust. jessica, be a dear and give me a hand. and you'd better get a move on, or we'll be late for the party. -party? what party? michael, what happened? where have you been? who is henryk stuyvesant? -who is laddie fairchild? and... and... and all the... easy, girl. -easy, girl. those are all fine questions, and i'm gonna answer them all, but at the moment, time is running short. yes, along with my patience. and if you think that i am going out with you this evening, you are very much mistaken. never mind that i have been tricked, lied to, pumped for information. -i have been worried sick about you. ah, that's my girl. although, i can't imagine why, since you systematically deceived me from the moment that we bumped into each other in paris. for the record, paris was an accident. wonderful. -and those men at the athens airport? well, i didn't want them to see us together, for fear of putting your life at risk. oh. well, that was considerate of you, i must say. it certainly was. -(knocking on door) it's probably baines. yes? hello. is michael about? -i'm pamela reardon, his wife. darling, i felt absolutely horrid about winkling out on you. really, i did. how's your appendix? oh, thank god it was nothing more than a touch of gastritis. -nothing more than a bloody audition, you mean. michael, be a dear and try to understand. obviously, you didn't get the job. anyhow, i caught the very first flight out of heathrow, and here i am. seems my timing's a bit off, though. -mrs. reardon? not if i can help it. pam drake. you sound american. is that real, or are you putting it on? -oh, it's real, all right. and i'm not an actress. now, michael... jessica, you and i are due at a party. miss drake and i will take this up when we return. -oh, now, just a moment. if miss drake is here, you certainly don't need me. ah, that's where you're wrong, my girl. there's stuyvesant and some of the hotel staff. too many people already know you as mrs. reardon. -look, i don't blame you for feeling the way you do. but please consider that a man's life is at stake. a very good man. laddie fairchild? yes, mr. stuyvesant mentioned his name. -but, michael, why didn't... maintain our little act for a few more hours, until i make the final arrangements for his release. i'll explain in full on the way. i'll go and get dressed. good girl. -and as for you, pamela, darling... save it, michael. i've been up for 36 hours, so while you and your "missus" are off kicking up your heels, i'll be having a little sleep on your sofa. -we'll chat when you get back. haggarty: and so laddie fairchild was operating this travel agency as a front, to enable him to catch these weapons importers. you mean arms smugglers? exactly. -but before he could close the trap, he was grabbed by a band of kidnappers, who have no idea that he's ml6. they've asked for one million pounds ransom by tomorrow. no police involvement. i see. if the gunrunners learn that laddie's a hostage and grab him from the kidnappers, which is only a matter of time, they'll kill him, after torturing him for what he knows. -and except for mr. baines, you're doing this entirely on your own? when colonel scofield, our athens station chief, refused to help, i took it all the way up to number 10, downing street. and? (imitating margaret thatcher) "i'm terribly sorry, mr. haggarty, -"truly i am, but we here in the british empire "do not bargain with thugs and terrorists." well, i was desperate. i met with the kidnappers in paris, passed myself off as michael reardon, laddie's brother-in-law. i told them laddie's a disinherited playboy ne'er-do-well, and i insisted i had no money, either. -you know what they said? "find it by morning, or we kill him." and what did you tell them? i tried to stall them, to buy time. i told them i could get the money, but it was all in my wife's name. -oh, of course. and enter the wealthy mrs. reardon. they gave me 72 hours. that's 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. (attendant welcoming in greek) -now, what about our host? yes. dimitri popadopalous. he's the middleman. he simply wants to meet you, so he can vouch for our credibility to the kidnappers. -all you have to do is be your charming self. yes, it's very lovely, my dear, but obscenely and unnecessarily expensive. oh, for god sake, drop it, alec. i think i deserve a few rewards for being forced to live this far from harrods. alec. -what the hell are you doing here? keeping track of you, dear boy. we are, after all, ostensibly on the same side. you must be mrs. fletcher, the author. alec scofield. -my wife, madge. oh, how do you do? how nice to see you on top of things, alec. for a change. your activities, my dear michael, always rate my highest priority. -(clears throat) i hope you'll have the decency of playing along, for laddie's sake. mr. reardon, i doubt i shall ever forgive you for failing to tell me how lovely your wife is. oh! well, i... -come, my dear. you must tell me about yourself. and i shall settle for nothing less than everything. my... my father was in lumber. -and your mother? descended from an english baronet. lovely. lovely. i warn you, michael, if you persist in this little adventure, regardless of the results, i shall personally, and with immense pleasure, preside over your long-deserved demise as an agent of the crown. -age hasn't done much to improve your sense of humanity, has it, alec? in our profession, that often proves to be a liability. mrs. scofield. damn it, madge, you know my hands are tied. they usually are. -forgive me if i'm less than touched by your concern for mr. fairchild. pity. i'd assumed that we'd closed the door on that little episode ages ago. you must forgive my impulsiveness, but since your stay in athens is to be a short one... mr. popadopalous, i am a married woman. -that, my dear, is one of your more sparkling assets. one can easily observe your marriage is in serious trouble. oh? whatever gave you that impression? i couldn't help notice a certain lack of intimacy between you and your husband. -i have trained myself to spot these things. (stammering) well, yes, well, we have been squabbling lately. yes. i have a keen instinct for a woman's longings, her loneliness, her hungers. michael: -there you are, darling! i was afraid you might have spirited my bride off on a cruise to mykonos. would that it were so. dimitri, i presume that you've made the final arrangements with the kidnappers. not quite yet, mr. reardon. -i have been waiting until i was satisfied about certain details. and? i shall be communicating with them shortly. what i will tell them is that at exactly 1200 hours tomorrow, you and your wife will arrive at the pay telephone at the arch of hadrian. a caller will instruct you about your subsequent move. -you have my sincere admiration, mrs. reardon, for the sacrifices you are making for your brother. oh, i'm quite sure that he will be equally grateful for your generosity, mr. popadopalous. madame, for l50,000, my generosity knows no limits. jessica, you were superb. he bought your entire act. -why didn't you warn me? oh, well, he is rather harmless. (scoffs) come on, now, girl. let's grab a bite. -i'm famished. i'll give dimitri this much, he's living up to his notices for shrewdness, keeping the time and the place of the exchange confidential until the last moment. will that be a problem? michael, you leaving already? what the hell is going on, baines? -i thought you were on my side. i am. well, then why is it that alec scofield knows every move i make before i've made it? michael, i swear i didn't tell him you'd be here tonight. but you must appreciate my position. -if i weren't keeping him at least partially informed, he'd surely suspect me, wouldn't he? yeah, you're right. sorry, boyo. now, has there been any signal? not thus far, no. -but i'm monitoring the taps on dimitri's telephones. the moment they make contact, i'll inform you, all right? now i understand why mr. popadopalous' secrecy won't be a problem. mother reardon always said her little boy would marry a woman of intelligence. and a rich one, too, as i recall. -one of these days, jessica, you and i are going to go on a proper holiday together. no company business for me, no writing for... (whispering) pamela. (officer speaking in greek) (speaking greek) -this is quite clearly the work of a jewel thief who has been working in the piraeus-athens area for the past 18 months. pardon me, sergeant... mr. reardon, there's one thing i'm very curious about. sergeant petrakis. yes? -you know, i'm not at all sure that theft was involved here. jewelry was taken. in greece, we regard this as theft. yes, but the jewelry that the victim was wearing was fake. i mean, a professional jewel thief would have recognized that immediately. -really? your perpetrator may have wanted you to think that he was your jewel thief. very well, madame. suppose we examine where such a theory, questionable though it may be, will lead us? suppose we begin with you, and your relationship with the other mrs. reardon? -oh, she wasn't my wife. but i'm not mrs. reardon. am i to understand that neither of you were or are mrs. reardon? no, no, no, no. what i'm trying to say is that the victim was the ex-mrs. -reardon. you see, we were divorced many years ago, but the poor woman could never give up the fantasy that we might one day remarry. oh, really? i'll take this. it would appear from your statement, mr. reardon, that you and the present mrs. reardon, the live mrs. reardon, -would have more than a sufficient motive for murder. (speaking in greek) i want you to fingerprint both of them and take hair and fiber samples. and please, do not attempt to leave athens in the next few days. alec: -pity. she was such a lovely woman. how unfortunate she allowed herself to be gulled by michael. the colonel does not understand. it was not the woman you met. -it was the second mrs. reardon who fell victim to strangulation. haggarty has another one? who was she? her passport was british. it identified her as mrs. pamela reardon. -i wonder how many others will turn up. if one does, i assure you, my friend, you will be the first to know. make sure that i am. the colonel is most generous. -by god, i do believe that michael's about to hang himself. in a day or two, i shall have enough to pass over to whitehall. how terribly righteous of you, alec. of course, for michael, doing the decent thing has only required the courage to place himself squarely on the cutting edge. rescuing laddie isn't a threat to his bloody manhood. -jessica? in here. i couldn't find a herald tribune. i know you can't read greek, so the best i could do was a week-old wall street journal. toothpaste, shampoo, -aspirin... bloody hell. she was just an actress, that's all. not one of us. she didn't deserve that. -michael, you can't blame yourself. no? that could very easily have been you lying on the floor in there. (sighs) maybe i should pack it in, put you on a plane. -oh, it's too late for that, and you know it. i'll be fine. don't worry. that's easier said than done. oh, by the way, where's my cablegram? -what cablegram? the one the clerk said he gave to you. he must be mistaken. no, he said he gave a cablegram earlier this afternoon to mrs. reardon. pamela. -(knocking on door) she must... michael, mrs. fletcher, i've just heard about miss drake. it's dreadful. dreadful. anything i can do? -yes. you can give me some good news about dimitri and those bloody kidnappers. they finalized the arrangements 20 minutes ago. the exchange is set for tomorrow, 1300 hours, in the gardens of the old palace. well, mrs. reardon, all that remains is for us is to get our hands on that million pounds, and laddie fairchild is a free man. -oh, michael, that's wonderful. jessica: i just hope there'll be no more surprises. actually, jessica, there is one more surprise. empty? -come now, jessica. where was i going to be getting that kind of money? anyway, i don't believe in buying off bad guys any more than mrs. thatcher does. start crumpling. -michael: not to worry, jessica. this phone call will merely tell us what we already know, the time and place of the meeting. (sighs) meanwhile, even as we speak, my men are positioning themselves near the old palace, to insure we get laddie out of there, money or no money. -(ringing) reardon. what? where? i'm sorry, that's unaccep... -michael, what is it? the buggers. they pulled a switch on us. they've moved the time up. now it's to take place at the roman market in 30 minutes. -shouldn't you notify your people? no time. we'll be lucky if we can get there in half an hour. roman market, driver, and step on it. it's almost 4:00. -this is a ruddy test, that's what it is. (tires screeching) they're checking us out. michael, look. dimitri, what are you doing here? the briefcase, mr. reardon. -i demand to see its contents now. where the hell are laddie fairchild and the kidnappers? they should have been here three hours ago. enough, mr. reardon. i was foolish enough to believe you and your wife could be trusted. -clearly, i was mistaken. you have compromised me, mr. reardon. (sirens approaching) just a damn minute, friend. i want to know who... dimitrl: (tittering) sergeant petrakis... -mr. popadopalous, i suggest you say nothing until you have an attorney by your side. an attorney? since when is it illegal to show one's friends the wonders of his country? we already have evidence that you've been conspiring with known criminals, along with murder suspects who travel under false passports. look, there's a simple explanation... (speaking in greek) -an alert associate of mine found this in a bookstore near the police headquarters, mrs. reardon. (ordering in greek) but why didn't the kidnappers show up? and did they know that there was no money in the bag? -and were they watching us? because if they were, and they saw the police arrive, laddie fairchild is... your passports. i must tell you, mrs. fletcher, i'm extremely disappointed that such an otherwise intelligent woman would permit herself to be involved with a man who sheds identities like a snake. -now, just a minute... i followed your movements because i believe you're implicated in murder. and frankly, i've heard nothing to convince me otherwise. sergeant, i told you... you told me nothing! -mr. popadopalous told me nothing. one thing has become very clear, though. there is a lot more to this affair than the death of one woman. excuse me, sergeant, but are you going to file charges? because if you are, i would like to contact the american embassy. -it won't be necessary. for the moment, i have insufficient evidence to hold either of you. but i'm warning you. when i get to the bottom of this, and i assure you that i will, -i intend to see that all of you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the greek law. and that's all you got? all right. thanks, boyo. (slams phone down) damn. -that was london. they've traced the paper trail for the past month, and it looks like we're on to pamela's killer, but it's just not conclusive. well, jess, maybe we were both wrong. anyway, i'd best get myself in gear if i want to get over to the old quarter before closing time. michael, i don't believe that we are mistaken, and i think i know a way to prove it. -while you're trying to free laddie fairchild, let me put a plan of my own into action. michael: right from the start, my wife said no tricks. i should have listened to her. one finds that difficult to quarrel with, mr. reardon. -now, i can get the money first thing in the morning, as soon as the banks open. but in the meantime, mrs. reardon and i are terrified that... well, that the kidnappers might just go ahead and... and kill mr. fairchild. -a distinct possibility. but why unburden yourself to me? that was my wife's idea. she said, "mr. stuyvesant may have a suggestion. "he's a man of great influence and knowledge." -mrs. reardon is a wise woman. it is possible i might be able to get a word to the kidnappers. such a task, however, would require great delicacy. oh, yes. yes, of course. -it would entail the fullest use of the trust i have cultivated over the years. and, naturally, that service would cost a great deal of money. what is money when the life of a loved one hangs in the balance? (vendors beckoning in greek) yes, and it's to be delivered to mr. michael reardon, -hotel grande bretagne, athens, and at suite 326. thank you. (knocking on door) yes? stuyvesant. -i have valuable information. freeze, you bloody bastards! mr. reardon. laddie, boyo, are you all right? i am now, mate. -sorry it took so long. if i'd known the dutchman's contacts were that good, i'd have been here days ago. there you are, mr. baines. thank you, niko. -i say, niko, you wouldn't happen to know if mr. and mrs. reardon are in, would you? they went out a short time ago, mr. baines. ah. thank you. yes, hello. -this is michael reardon in 326. could you please send the mail up to my room? oh, wait a minute. i'm going to be taking a short nap so just have the boy slip it under the door, would you? thank you very much. -petrakis: kalo sithikis, mr. baines. please place your hands behind your head. excuse me? i think you must be making some kind of mistake. -put your hands behind your head now. i'm placing you under arrest for the murder of pamela drake. baines: you're wrong. all of you. -i was simply going to read that cablegram in order to pass the information on to colonel scofield. that is my job, after all. then why didn't you report the contents of the first cablegram? first cable? what first cable? -what are you talking about? the one that arrived yesterday, mr. baines. you remember, harold. it's the one that contained the information i requested from whitehall, linking you to the kidnappers. the one you killed pamela for. -this is insane. she was murdered by a jewel thief. so you'd have us believe. but she was murdered for the cablegram. you had to make sure that what was in it never got to me, and certainly not to alec scofield. -this is preposterous. i've got nothing to hide. no, in the case of this cablegram, you're quite correct, mr. baines. there's absolutely nothing in it. i talked to london today, baines. -the first cable documented your travel over the past four weeks, and placed you where you could have been dealing with the kidnappers. but there was no clear evidence against you. there you are, sergeant, he admits it contains no proof of anything. but, mr. baines, you tried to intercept the second cable. i explained that! -not to my satisfaction. (phone ringing) petrakis. then there's the matter of the gunrunners that greeted me in the athens airport. i managed to convince one of them to tell me how they knew when i was arriving. -it seems they had an informer, who told them about everyone's movements. laddie's, mine... in any case, boyo, not too many people knew about my comings and goings. except you, of course. (speaking in greek) -it was the scientific lab, mrs. fletcher. they checked the jacket. you were correct. correct? correct about what? -mr. baines, you told us that you had never met pamela drake, that you didn't know who she was. i didn't. how could i? but you had met her. you struggled with her when you killed her. -remember when we were leaving mr. popadopalous' house? it must have been around 10:00. it didn't register at the time. i thought it was probably cigarette ash, but i noticed a smudge on your dinner jacket. only later i realized it had to have been lipstick smudge, that distinctive color that pamela drake wore when she arrived in athens. -mr. baines, the laboratory confirms this. what do you have to say? i knew you suspected me, michael. i could read it in your eyes. when you returned from your confrontation with those gunrunners, -i was downstairs in the lobby. just as you were getting into the elevator, a delivery man arrived with a cablegram for michael reardon. i knew its contents concerned me. i was about to retrieve it, when... (dinging) i'm mrs. reardon. -i believe my husband has already checked in. i watched as he gave her the cablegram. thank you. i was panicky. i didn't know what to do next. -and then, a little later, i saw you both leave for dimitri's party. i thought, well, maybe my luck had held. maybe the cable hadn't been read. so i let myself into your suite. hey! -who are you? get out. now! i really had no choice. and after all, michael, that is what they train us for, -isn't it? it was jealousy, plain and simple. baines had seniority, but laddie was about to be made station chief when scofield retired. now, baines set up laddie for the kidnapping, knowing the crown would never negotiate for his release. a tragic situation. -woman on pa: attention, please. royal british flight 17 to london and new york now boarding at gate 4. well, that's my song they're playing. i wish that you were coming back to london with me. -i wish i was, too. but i promised cairo i'll be there, and be there i will. ladies and gentlemen, may i have your attention? due to mechanical difficulties, air levant flight 3 to cairo will be delayed indefinitely. -(repeating in french) hello. good morning. damn. nathan! -what are you doing, nathan? we're going into the bank! here, quick. grab that pole there. i can't do anything! -cut the engine, nathan! (screams) nathan! what is it? (sighs) -come on, lewis. approximately seven hours. what happened? i can't tell you, exactly. a man in his early 60s, about 5'1 0" tall. -(light aircraft flies over) there's not a lot to go on. what's that supposed to mean? the head's been hacked off, the arms below the elbow, the legs below the knee. i'm only guessing at the height from the trousers. -quite neatly done, really. by a surgeon, you mean? anyone could do it with a hacksaw. shall i show you? thank you, my dear. i'll leave that to lewis. -i do wish you wouldn't call me your "dear", morse. how does one address a lady pathologist first thing in the morning? well, "doctor" would do. well, doctor, i look forward to your full report. if i had to hazard a professional opinion, i'd say the chief inspector was not a morning person. -i shouldn't worry about it. he's got toothache. need any help? my mother always insisted i should have a proper breakfast. medical opinion would agree with her. -what about you, doctor? i can barely manage a cup of coffee. hello? no third degree. i didn't get to bed till four. -we all have our problems. well, it kills you in the end. what are you lot here for? suicide? rape? -cattle rustling? illegal immigrants? murder, actually. a nasty one. decapitation, to be precise. -i don't suppose anybody came in last night with a severed head? you think you're joking? a bloke comes in offering to sell me a fresh chicken. we keep a few hens. i can never bear to kill them, so i says yes. -he comes back minutes later, the bird plucked and ready. it's only when i go out later to shut the hens up against the fox, i notice one is missing. then i find a bag full of feathers and guts. and the head. the beggar's only gone out and knocked off one of my own birds to sell me. -(puts coins on the bar) come on, lewis. duty calls. what kind of people live in the cottages down the towpath? locals? -weekenders? i don't think the locals could afford these prices. my auntie used to swear by a clove, you know, sir. has she still got her own teeth? i'll settle for coffee, lewis, and plenty of aspirin. -extra sugar as usual? and don't forget the aspirin. that's all dr russell found in the pockets. i was worried about tearing it. "..to discuss appearing." -for what, i wonder. television, sir? "..our studios in dockland." you watch the stuff. what sort of programmes are made in dockland? -eastenders? not that i get time to see it. maybe one of them game shows. "meet me at the..." i can't read it. -something "club in pall mall." does that sound like a game show? you never know, sir. they use all sorts of ruses. when someone goes to the trouble of inviting you to an exclusive gentlemen's club, where you pay handsomely for the privilege of keeping alive public school manners with dreadful public school food, it must be to flatter the subject's vanity. -that suit came from a university tailor, didn't it, lewis? mm-hm. let's assume our victim is a university man. what would flatter the vanity of a university man in his 60s? -a pretty young woman, sir. wrong sort of club. appearing on television in something intellectually respectable. the south bank show, sir. get onto all the tv companies. -find out who invited an oxford man about 5'1 0" tall, in his early 60s, to a london club in the last couple of weeks to discuss a iate-night chat show. how do you know it's late-night? i may not see much television, but they don't put that stuff on during the day! (phone rings) chief inspector morse's office. -yeah, one moment. it's the master of beaumont college, sir alexander reece. morse. thank you. alex? -yes. yes, it's been ages. no, i didn't know. well, i don't have time to keep up with all your activities. i suppose congratulations are in order. -lunch? yes, well, why not? yes, i'm free. i'll be there. offering you a fellowship, is he, sir? -knowing reece, he probably wants free advice on guarding the college silver. i'll leave you to sort out those tv companies, all right? right. and check on that suit. tailor-made - we should get the owner's name. -i'll get onto them first. then you can chase up your friend dr russell. that should give us all something to look forward to. chief inspector morse? i am he. -now, deborah! (chuckles) over-educated women. my dear fellow. how long has it been? -quite a while. come in. come in! right. sherry? -scotch, if you've got it. toothache. oh. is all this stuff yours or the college's? mine, i'm afraid. -you always were quite a collector, weren't you, alex? do take a seat. what was wrong with the girl just now? oh, er... deborah burns, yeah. -such a pity. highly gifted student. she's just completed her dphil. i supervised her myself, actually. will she get it? -oh, she'ii get it all right. but she was hoping for a research fellowship. i had to tell her just now she's been turned down. she took it very hard, as you saw. rather highly strung. -but i didn't get you here to talk about my students. as virgil pointed out, there's no such thing as a free lunch. mm. i'm very concerned about dr kerridge, my vice master. it seemed to me that someone like you, who understands the university, could...make discreet enquiries. -what about? he took off for london at the end of term, and was supposed to be back four days ago. i was supposed to chair a conference on constitutional law at sussex tomorrow, and he's supposed to be in charge in my absence. morse: four days isn't very long. -oh, he's very punctilious. untidy in appearance, perhaps, but highly organised. we've checked his flat in bayswater and his cottage in thrupp - he's a keen angler - but he doesn't appear to have been there either. two desirable residences? people pay economists vast sums of money in order to avoid taking their advice. -perhaps he fell in love. it can happen to anybody. that's what concerns me. kerridge is not a ladies' man. quite the contrary. -so if he has fallen among...bad company, we can't afford the scandal. why do you think he has? i had a call from a young man. all he would say was that dr kerridge would be delayed. -when i asked to speak to kerridge himself, the man rang off. i still don't see why. but you must realise that my college's reputation is at stake. i appointed kerridge. i thought it was a good idea. -heal the divisions after my election. he was popular with most of the fellows... except drysdaie, of course. arthur drysdale? yes, do you know him? i used to. -he has cancer, you know, of the brain. six months, they reckon. maybe less. he's gone to rome. it's his favourite city. one last visit. -what about him and kerridge? they were famous as enemies. i mean, are. rivals for the sheldon lectureship, you see. some people consider it the most prestigious post in the entire university. -who won? as a matter of fact, i did. which no doubt put you on the road to your present eminence. yes, i expect it helped. but whatever the case, if something unsavoury has happened to kerridge, it will reflect badly, not only on the college, but upon me. -can you think of one good reason why i should help you, alex? professional pride. better get into lunch... or it'll all be gone. come on, come on. thanks. -morning. i'm dr kerridge. mr christopher stoneley is expecting me. straight through to the smoking room, sir. thank you. -nice lunch, sir? i had an eminent chemist on my left, who talked throughout the whole meal about the operation he'd had on his piles. very nice! and the world-famous mathematician on my right demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that the best au pairs come from portugal. that's what you go for, isn't it, sir? -the conversation? true, lewis. that's why i prefer pubs. what have you got? not much. -no luck with the university tailors yet. those tv people were no help at all. and we're still waiting for dr russell's report. i've got a missing person. a distinguished economist. -duty roster, sarge. he's called kerridge. he's vice master of beaumont college. is he on the list? no kerridge. -were you thinking he might be the body? it'd be convenient, wouldn't it? let us hypothesise. let's say that kerridge is the recipient of that letter. he goes to london, something goes wrong. -a young man calls to say that he'll be delayed. and then we find a headless body in thrupp... ..the place where he happens to have a cottage. it sounds all right to me. you take the cottage in thrupp. i'll do the pied-à-terre in fragrant bayswater. -fortes fortuna adiuvat. fortune favours the brave? my school motto, sir. (drunken giggling) (glass shatters) -look here, david... ..i don't want to see you hurt. i am not hurt, christopher. chris. please call me chris. chris. i've had a lovely time. -but i must admit to being just the tiniest bit irritated. you've kept me in london when i ought to be in oxford. i'm still waiting to see the contract for this show of yours. there is no contract. nor a show, nor a studio. -then what on earth...? just a little acting job... while i'm resting... as they don't say in the trade. i do not understand. someone wanted me to play a tv producer. it's the second time they've asked me, as a matter of fact. -i was supposed to persuade you about this programme, and lure you down to the isle of dogs, pretending that's where the studio is. who approached you and why? he didn't tell me his name. i can tell you what he looks like, though. the sort who should play old-fashioned headmasters. -tall, fussy...upright for his age. he claimed to be a friend of yours. though he's not wearing nearly as well as you are. thanks, chris. did he tell you why he wanted you to go through this charade? -no. no, i... i didn't care for the first one. but you're different. i must be on my way. no, please stay. -no, i'm afraid i must. i believe the person you describe to be abroad. if he's not, i must prepare myself. goodbye. thank you for my lunch. -tannoy: the 16:30 service from oxford, due at 1 7:32, is now arriving at platform 9. your intercity service for plymouth is also boarding at platform 2. it calls at reading, bristol parkway, bristol temple meads taunton, exeter st david's, newton abbot and plymouth. -who is it? it's chief inspector morse. i'm looking for dr kerridge. (buzzer sounds) of course i know the doctor. -i've lived here since the war, when it was a respectable place. i'm sure, madam. of course, it was very boring then. fascinating, the things that go on now. i wouldn't live anywhere else. -how long has dr kerridge had his flat, mrs...? miss. tree. miss tree by name, mystery by nature. (giggles) i don't suppose you want to know about my private life. -if you would just tell me about dr kerridge. what do you want to know? when did you last see him? oh, i haven't seen him for weeks. i've heard him, all right. -he has the flat above me. not that i'm complaining. he doesn't go in for wild parties, more's the pity. he keeps himself to himself. rather dull, really. -i mean, all he really likes doing is sitting by the canal in the rain, trying to catch fish. i prefer dancing. when you say you've heard him... just a bit of banging about. chopping the head off some poor herring, i dare say, to feed his friends. -how anyone can eat fish when you see the state of the water... does he often have friends in, miss tree? he lets people stay here. they come to me for the key. when was the last time that happened? -last week. an elderly gentleman, very nicely turned out. and he didn't say who he was? it wouldn't have meant anything to me anyway. if i could borrow the key to have a look around, as a friend of the doctor's... i must finish getting ready for my tea dance. -do you tango? no, i thought not. i might be able to do something with you. perhaps not. yes, guv? -scotch, please. 86p. may i? it's dr burns, isn't it? who the hell are you? -my name is morse. our paths crossed in the master's lodgings at beaumont. can i get you a drink? i'm waiting for someone. your glass is still empty. -all right. a white wine, thanks. that seat is taken. a scotch and a white wine, please. did you hear what i said? -that seat is taken. excuse me. here we are. thanks. how did you know my name? -well, alex told me. we're old acquaintances. so are we. cheers. cheers. -by the way, i'm not a doctor yet. well, alex said there'd be no doubt. that's what he said about my fellowship. academics don't know what it means, stuck in their little ivory towers. they've more or less got jobs for life. -but would they share them with someone new? someone who also happens to be a woman? i'd like to see some of them on the dole, i can tell you. like alex? alex and i... ..we worked very closely together on the new book. -i should havejoint credit, really. still...it might get me my doctorate. it should have got me my research fellowship. are you connected with oxford, mr morse? in a manner of speaking. -you must have some idea of what it's like. a vicious, backbiting, petty-minded, parochial town that thinks it's the centre of the universe. pretty, though... for a city. it's the people that spoil it. people like beaumont's vice master, dr david bloody kerridge. -why kerridge in particular? he's the one who voted against me. how do you know? alex... the master told me. -that's who i'm waiting for. you might have a long wait. i've got a train to catch. can i get you another? no, thanks. -i wish you luck, miss burns. (drunken exchanges) good evening, dr kerridge. miss burns! what on earth are you doing here? -you vetoed my fellowship. i want to know why. dear good woman... come on. come on! this may sound melodramatic, miss burns, but there is someone after me. -me, dr kerridge. i am quite serious, miss burns. so am i. give me one good reason why you were so against me. i was not! -i am not! i had nothing to do with turning you down. you have my word. then who was it? do you really want to know? -very well. it was the master. ? valeta aargh! -miss tree: dr kerridge? dr kerridge, we are trying to master the vaieta. (electronic whine) rinse, please. -have you got a tissue? you've got a nasty infection there. there's nothing i can do until it's cleared up. i'll give you a prescription for some penicillin and you can come back on friday. can't you just take it out now? -we no longer condemn teeth to death without just cause, mr morse. if you had visited a dentist in the last few years, you would know that. make an appointment with the receptionist. and cut out the sugar. good day to you. -thanks for your help. hello. oh, hello, sergeant lewis. i've obviously got you wrong. i thought your wife bought your clothes. -not around here, she doesn't. it's a bit rich. go on, let's have a look. you've seen this once already. no, definitely not your style. still, at least we know now whose it was. -it was tailor-made for dr kerridge. it cost him an arm and a leg. oh, please! sorry. the chief inspector found out that kerridge went missing recently. -he more than likely ended up in the canal at thrupp. oh, um...how is morse's toothache? still making him impossible? he's gone to the dentist. he'll be all sweetness and light now, i promise. -we'll see. actually, you can probably help me. i'll try. believe it or not, i've been made godmother... which makes me feel very old. i'm not quite sure what you get nowadays. -girl or a boy? a boy, aged three. one thing i wanted when i was a lad was a tin drum. but my mam wouldn't have it. she said it'd be too noisy. -i'm sure she was right. no, i need something smaller. they're going back to india. we used to work in the same hospital. i shall miss them. -what about a mug? a pewter mug? there are some nice shops on the high street. oh, yes. that's a good idea. -but he may not turn out to be a drinker. it's hot out there, isn't it? sugar? no, better not. dentist's orders. -is this yours? sort of. i pinched it from my local. is their beer any good? why don't you try it sometime? i might just do that. -what news of the master? i spoke to him this morning. in fact, i was going to call you. dr kerridge has been found in london. he's perfectly all right. -is he? who found him? miss burns, apparently. she rang here last night in a most peculiar state. what did she say? -she seems to have got it into her head that the master has ruined her career. in fact, she made all sorts of threats. what sort of threats? well, you know academics. they're forever accusing each other of plagiarism. -she said she'd expose him. the usual kind of thing. how would she do that? well, there are people in the media who are ready to believe anything, aren't there? especially about oxford. -but i think miss burns was just being hysterical. why? because she claimed dr kerridge supported her against the master. that's completely unlike him. he's totally loyal to the college. -may i? miss burns doesn't exactly get the most generous of acknowledgments, does she? i've no doubt the master gave her what she deserved. of course, she could have been greedy for more. does she know what he's put? -she insisted on knowing. that's what caused her intemperate reaction. and you told the master about that? of course. how did he react? -calmly... as always. find anything at thrupp? the cottage is as neat as ninepence, sir. like his london place. dr russell has forensics' report on that piece of skin you brought back. -it belongs to the body. but whose body is it, lewis? it's dr kerridge's. the suit was his. dr kerridge is alive and kicking in london. -we'd better have that canal dragged again. arrange it, will you? cheers. i trust your excellent taste is as much appreciated by your employer as it is by me. difficult, is he? -just...difficult to keep up with. but the effort is so worthwhile. tell me about the sheldon lectures. one of the greatest honours the college can bestow. guaranteed publicity, guaranteed publication, guaranteed future career. -so the master was very fortunate to get the job? not fortunate. deserving. but, of course, he wasn't master then. that followed later. -how is the post awarded? the college council decide between those fellows who've been put forward. how would people like kerridge and drysdale get defeated? you know oxford. it only needs someone to put about the wrong sort of gossip about a candidate. -that his work wasn't original, or that there was something in his private life that would gain the lectures the wrong sort of attention. so kerridge and drysdale might have assumed that each had slandered the other? i suppose so. i feel so sorry for mr drysdale. for an academic to contract cancer of the brain... -but he does seem to be enjoying himself in rome. we've all had postcards. damn it, lewis! i'm off duty. sorry, sir. -sorry, miss. we've had a call from the chief superintendent about dr kerridge. come back to oxford, has he? i'm afraid not, sir. they found him in his bayswater flat, battered to death. -go ahead. over. roger. bring it up and come in. over. -good man, al. mm. hacksawjob. yep. i thought it might be. what's a nice girl like you doing a job like this for? -how do you know i'm a nice girl, hm? you sound just like morse. i will take that as a compliment. no, i mean you'd have made a smashing gp. what made you prefer dead bodies? -well...you have the same challenge of diagnosis but without the responsibility of prescription. the dead man was at least 5'1 0", but i can't tell you much more till the head is found. i'll go and see the boss. you really like him, don't you? he's the best there is. -if you say so. it doesn't make sense, lewis. two people killed in the same flat. by the same person, do you reckon? if so, why cut up one body and bring it all the way to thrupp? -why dress it in someone else's suit when you're going to kill the owner of that suit soon afterwards? unless kerridge did the first killing, sir, then got killed himself. why would kerridge want to dress up a corpse in his own clothes? whoever killed our first victim planned it very carefully. kerridge, on the other hand, was battered to death in a way that seems almost casual by comparison. -there obviously is a connection. it's one the yard will never find, that's for sure. look at that. sir christopher wren, 1 669. well done, lewis. -the sheidon lectures are delivered here, in front of the great men of the university in all their robed finery. to be the centre of attention in such a place... ..to have your peers hanging on your every word. worth killing for, would you say, lewis? i don't know, sir. i was meant to speak in a balloon debate in my first year at secondary school, but it was cut short by a fire drill. -get back to the office. check on all missing persons over 5'1 0". i'm popping into blackwell's to see if they've got anything by the late doctor. "by their works shall ye know them." look at that. -simplicity of line, morse. the older one comes, the more unobtainable and expensive simplicity becomes. mary, my dear. how well you've recovered. lady reece doesn't share your taste in art, i take it? -rachel is not fond of crowds. being in a wheelchair, she gets bored with other people's groins. i didn't know. no. it was her own fault. -hunting. what do you expect? you...never married, did you? what was the name of that girl we both knew? wendy. -wendy. (chuckles) let's talk about kerridge. what if it were... ..rent boys, or whatever they're called? it would be very helpful if you could curb speculation. scotland yard are officially dealing with this. -not you? oh, well, that's all right. i know the commissioner quite well. they sometimes call me in to talk about civil liberties. yes, i'm sure you're everybody's favourite expert. -as a matter of fact, i dropped into the cabinet office on the way back from sussex. they're setting up a commission to look into the feasibility of a bill of rights. which means they'll never do anything about it. i'll probably be chairman. i'm told it's almost definite. -well done. you'll soon be in the house of lords. that would make rachel happy. you didn't by any chance run into miss burns when you were in london? no... i was very pressed for time. -come on, alex. she was threatening to blacken your name. i can handle miss burns. and dr kerridge? wasn't he prepared to back her up? -kerridge is far too sensible to be swayed by anything an overwrought young woman might have told him. you didn't run into him by any chance? no, i told you, i was in london for only an hour or so. do you want the name of the person i was with? the yard might. -it was mitchell. robin mitchell. excuse me. martha! i thought you were in the rockies with eddie. -yes, we were, alex, darling. waiter's business commitments, i'm afraid. ? schubert: string quartet -(doorbell rings) hello, lewis. sir, listen, i think i've found something. you'd better come in. pour yourself a drink. -er, no. no, thanks, sir. well? about this missing person. there are one or two people the right height. -let's have them. mr j williams, who's described as a financial adviser. to the government, do you mean? no, more like telling old ladies how to invest their savings and then walking off with the cash. so some old pensioner might have caught up with him and extracted a terrible revenge? -unfortunately, he had a tattoo. if it was on one of the limbs that was chopped off... a writhing serpent, sir, right across his back. i checked with dr russell. not a snake in sight. -all right, lewis. now tell me the good news. well, there's one... 5'1 1 ", early 60s, last seen about five days ago, and who has the oxford connection, sir. name? balarat. -nicholas balarat. he's a very senior civil servant. he has the ear of the prime minister and all that. if it is him, that would explain why scotland yard have kept quiet. what's his connection with oxford? -he's an honorary fellow of beaumont college, sir. it looks to me, lewis, as if we ought to pay a visit to the wicked metropolis. if you say so, sir. go on. get home to your wife and kiddies. -they need you even more than i do. see you in the morning, sir. ? string quartet resumes is he in? -he's at lunch in all souls. can i help? is that a rhetorical question? toothache still giving you hell? mm-hm. -would a beer help? undoubtedly. but i don't want to keep you from... the college buttery serves a perfectly acceptable ale. and... ..i do owe you one. -thank you. does the name nicholas balarat mean anything to you? of course. he's one of our honorary fellows. do you know anything more about him? -that he's an internationally known economist who advises half the world's governments. including our own. he's also a whizz at moneyraising. he made the new building programme possible. who nominated him for the honorary fellowship? -the master, i think. why? i've been reading kerridge's book. he attacks balarat quite viciously. i wouldn't have thought that made for harmonious high table gatherings. -i'm told they could do with a bit of livening up. mm-hm. besides, balarat gives as good as he gets. he made a speech at the union that was quite obviously aimed at dr kerridge. everybody here was talking about it. -well, kerridge was an angler. they're very philosophical. like policemen. (carol chuckles) you know, alex built his reputation on people like them. -he wrote their constitution when they became independent. he understood their needs so well that within a year they'd torn up all his rules and become a one-party state. i'm sorry to disturb you, my dear... ..my dear doctor. you're very squeamish, aren't you, morse? very. -i can understand that. you can? max never did. well, i'm not max, am i? no, i would say you weren't. -you don't know anything about toothache, do you? the bloody pills haven't done any good. i don't trust doctors, let alone dentists. so what can i do you for? the balarat murder. -have you had anything from the yard? yes. much of what they sent is not much use, as we don't have his head to check his dental records. the blood group's the same. the height matches. -the age is right, and... also the time of death. you said he was cut up by someone who knew what he or she was doing. thank you. where the hell did you get the name grayling from? blame my father. -i was his seventh daughter and... well, he was a keen fisherman. desperate for a name, he decided to call me after what he pulled out of the river. lucky it wasn't a chub, eh? yeah. -sorry. maybe you'd like a drink sometime? maybe i would. once i've got rid of this bloody toothache. (car horns blare) -god, sir, how do people live in a place like this? it's no worse than kidlington. and the buildings are considerably finer. some were designed by inigo jones. you should see newcastle, sir. -i once knew a girl in burton on trent, lewis. further north than that, i have no desire to go. turn right here. are you sure? of course i'm sure. -inspector, first on the right. i'm a frequent visitor to the corridors of power, lewis. good. look, i'm sorry if i'm not being much help, but... well, i suppose we in the cabinet office get into the habit of telling as little as possible. and i assure you, you wouldn't get any more out of mr mitchell, even if he had the time to see you. -we are talking about a murder, mr collins. i know. but it could happen to anyone, couldn't it? i mean, you asked me if balarat had any enemies. quite frankly, we all have. -it's one of the penalties of being a public servant. though i imagine you two know all about that. what do you know about the royal commission on the bill of rights? what do you know, chief inspector? the cid sometimes get information, sir. -have you found yourselves a chairman? to be quite honest, i don't see what this has to do with your enquiries. i could find out in any fleet street pub, mr collins. i'd rather have it from the horse's mouth. well, i suppose it will be made public fairly soon. -in actual fact, we have found a chairman. i can't tell you who, of course... sir alex reece? no, certainly not. whoever gave you that idea? -who made the final recommendations? these are matters of national security. was it mr balarat? look, all i can say is, he is, or rather was, someone by whose advice the pm set great store. lewis: -thank you, sir. i hope we haven't taken up too much of your time. look here, chief inspector... i wouldn't want any unauthorised information being wrongly attributed. of course not, mr collins. you haven't told us anything, have you? we could hit the road, sir. -think of the traffic, lewis. besides, the pubs will be open any minute. what's your opinion of mr collins? i thought he was an arrogant pillock, sir, and you more or less told him so. did i? -i thought i was the soul of politeness. that's what you always think, though, isn't it, sir? have you got any bread, lewis? miss burns? miss burns? -oh, i'm sorry. nice try, sir! shut up, lewis. it's opening time. alcohol-free lager time for me, i suppose. -you always complain about my driving, lewis. think of my pension and slow down, will you? why didn't you say? actually, i was thinking about balarat. i still can't fathom out why he was dumped at thrupp. -if you'd been promised something and were then disappointed, something that would crown your career, wouldn't you harbour murderous thoughts against the person that disappointed you? i doubt it, sir. let's assume the murderer doesn't have your forgiving nature, lewis. the victim is...someone prominent. so prominent that the minute the death is discovered, the entire nation's police forces are in action. -now, what would you do to put off the moment of discovery? chop him up into little bits and dump him somewhere miles away. precisely. if you know of a flat in london where you can perform the act of butchery, or of a cottage by a canal where you can jettison the bits... dr kerridge, sir. -no. that's who you're meant to think of. the person i think it was... (siren walls) you were saying, sir? i was thinking, lewis, of sir alex reece, the master of beaumont. -(drill whines) argh! for heaven's sake, be a man, inspector. if this is the way you behave when facing some slight discomfort, no wonder violent crime is on the increase. argh! -let's see the details on that one. i don't know anything about that. you'ii have to ask maicoim, i think. yeah, put him in cell number 3, because he hasn't been charged yet. i'ii be down later. -he's all right there. the rest are fine. that's good. the chief superintendent wants to see you, sir, like an hour ago. thanks, jean. i'll be in the office. -and you barge in without informing the yard. sir? you threaten one of the cabinet office staff. a very self-important member. that's no excuse! -and uncooperative. you know what these bureaucrats are like. don't go picking on them. i thought we parted very amicably. you must be getting even more insensitive in your old age. -what's wrong with you? teeth. nevertheless, it does not do this force any good to have one of its chief inspectors behaving like a rustic yobbo up in whitehall for the cup. i was at oxford with half the senior ranks of the civil service. that's where you learnt to behave so badly, i suppose? -thank god my daughters went redbrick. civil servants respect a bit of effortless superiority. it's what they're always trying on the rest of the world. and what good did it do you? we believe the torso is that of nicholas balarat, the senior government advisor. -dr russell's forensic skills identified him. always happy to pay credit where it's due, sir. what about his killer? that's why my interview with mr collins at the cabinet office was so useful. balarat was an honorary fellow of beaumont college. -the new master of beaumont, sir alexander reece, recommended him personally. in return, he expected balarat to get the prime minister to nominate him chairman of a royal commission, a certain route to a peerage if you come up with the right conclusions. well? according to mr collins, balarat did not put forward reece's name. are you seriously suggesting that a public figure like the master of beaumont would murder a civil servant just because he didn't get the chair of the commission? -i've known reece for a iong time. he's always been intensely overambitious. kerridge found out that he was claiming as his own the work of one of his female pupils. reece also happened to be having an affair with her. i don't see what that has to do with anything. -reece called me informally when kerridge disappeared, because he didn't want any scandal sullying his own good name. so he could have killed kerridge to keep him from speaking out. could have? ! it's pure speculation, and on a case being dealt with by the yard. -if reece could kill his own vice master, he could certainly kill a man like balarat, who he believed had robbed him of his crowning glory. if? if? don't give me any more hypotheses, morse. i want facts. -morse? i'm sorry, sir. the jaw's still rather tender. coffee, sir? extra sugar. -it didn't last long, did it, sir? the self-denial? i know. you need the energy. lewis, i've already had a bad time from both the dentist and the chief superintendent. -sorry, sir. what did he say? we need more to convince him that reece is a killer. what if we were to eliminate all other possible suspects? like drysdale? -he had a motive for killing kerridge. they were old enemies. i've checked on him. the hospital's confirmed he's dying of brain cancer. besides, he's in rome. -still... what are the twin bases for successful detection, lewis? confession and information, sir. well done. what we need is information. -and who are the best-informed people in any college? the scouts, lewis. they put the drunks to bed, they clean up the vomit, they wake the sober, whether singly or in pairs. they are discreet, maternal, devoted, exploited... and they know everything. start with kerridge's scout. -find out all the college gossip. off you go. dr kerridge? who? (shouts) dr kerridge. -turn left and up the stairs. thanks. this will set you up, sir. it's a bit early in the day for me, mr...? just ben, sir. -if i had a last name, i've forgotten it. well... it's only for when you're in trouble, isn't it, sir? law, taxes and elections. that's when they want to know, don't they? bottoms up, sir. -what's in this? bits and bobs, sir. it won't do you any harm. (coughs) how long have you been here, ben? -all my life, sir. terrible, isn't it? never been to war, never been to sea... never been to london... never been a football hooligan... ..never been unemployed, never been rich, never voted tory. there you have it, sir. -my whole story. you're... you're from up north, aren't you, sir? newcastle. but my wife's from oxford, born and bred. -now, can we talk about dr kerridge? what was he like to look after? was he fussy about keeping things just so? i wish there were more like him, sir. he was that tidy, you'd scarcely know he was there. -what about his private life? he didn't have one in college, sir. i imagine he left that for those other places he had. friends? enemies? -he was one of those people everybody got on with, sir. well, except for mr drysdale. and that wasjust one of those stupid things that got out of hand. mr drysdale's away, i gather. yes, sir. -we got a card from him only yesterday. er... ..to show you how things were between them, when dr kerridge heard about mr drysdale's cancer... ..he actually smiled. i think i'd like to take a look at both their rooms, if that's possible. of course it is, sir. -i've got the keys right here. i've got six dons to look after, and 95 undergraduates. their little war's quite famous, you know. when mr balarat attacked dr kerridge in the union, mr drysdale was that delighted, it was all over the college in no time. -what kind of attack did mr balarat make? the usual oxford kind, sir. an attack on his reputation. you can imagine the trouble i have getting to water all these plants when he's away. you didn't know mr balarat, did you? -of course i did, sir. he used to be a great friend of mr drysdale's. when was that? when mr drysdale first got his fellowship. a regular visitor, mr balarat was. -mr and mrs drysdaie used to entertain him all the time. mrs drysdale? oh, he was married, sir. didn't you know? though i don't know why you should, considering how long ago it was. -what happened to her? she ran off...with mr balarat. mr drysdale wasn't half upset. ready to kill himself, he was. he was a different gentleman after that, i can tell you. -how do you mean? sort of moody, sir. much more withdrawn. and the funny thing is, mrs drysdale died three years after. -maybe mr drysdale put a curse on her. i wouldn't put it past him. depends on how heavy it was, and what's been going through the lock. if it was a busy day... was it busy seven days ago? -it's high season now. the place is full of trippers. even the fish fall about laughing. so if something the size of...say a football... only heavier. -..something weighing...say about ten pounds, was thrown in from here a week ago, what's your expert guess as to where it wouid be now? the water will shift anything every which way each time the locks open. what is it you're looking for, exactly? well... a head, actually. -a head? a man's head. we know it hasn't gone straight to the bottom. an angler would soon holler, hooking something like that. so what you're saying is, it could have been washed to the right or left of where it was dumped? -upstream or down, sir. thank you, lewis. if it was me, i'd start at the next lock up. and go which way? -upstream or down? i'd go north. thanks. thanks very much. we already know who the body belongs to, sir, so why bother about the head? -you know the legend of orpheus? the singing greek? the very same. (dogs barking) (men talking, indistinct) -(man) go and get the dogs. (man) oome on, then. mews! oome on, now. open your mouth. -open your mouth, eh? learn to appreciate your food, eh? oompared to what you serve up in that dirty little canteen of yours, this is a three-star supper. (gasping) -you must learn the rules. i need to eat and drink the very best and that's expensive. have you ever heard of chicken â la reine marie or oyster sauce mornay or frogs' legs parisienne? no. oourse you haven't. -take his pants down! take his pants down. (dogs whimpering) (men shouting) (man) oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. -didn't your daddy teach you to wipe your bottom? eh? (woman) albert! leave him alone. oome on, let's eat. -oh, let's eat. before we eat, georgina, we must feed and water the animals. roy! this is my wife, georgina spica. she's got a heart of gold and a body to match. -i am albert spica and i have a heart of gold and a great deal of money to match. and you are roy, who's got absolutely nothing, except what you owe me. you are humiliated in front of a lady, you're humiliated in front of us. georgina, i'll be as quick as i possibly can. gah... -you, go and get me some hot water, eh? and a towel and soap. now... yeah. (laughs) now i've given you a good dinner and you can have a nice drink. -now, you behave yourself in future and pay when i ask you. no, no, no... or next time i'll make you eat your own shit after forcing it through your dick like toothpaste. no, put that away, spangler. oor blimey, there's a lady present. -she doesn't want to see your shrivelled contributions. ah. that's it. thank you very much. nice, clean... -give me that towel! give me that. yeah. i never liked that ohinese food but looking at you now, i like it even less. (laughing) righto, boys! -we must surprise richard on our anniversary. bring the letters. georgie, you got ash on your tits. if you're gonna wear black, don't smoke. you look like a tart in black. -(georgina) it's blue. it's black, and don't smoke. it's sloppy in a woman. no one who's going to eat smokes. it ruins your taste buds, burns your tongue and makes your pee stink. -rubbish. it's not bloody rubbish. i've smelt the loo after you've been piddling in there. when are you gonna learn, smartarse? (boy soprano) # have mercy upon me # -(albert) oome on, hurry up, boys. #... upon me # righto, lads, get them numbers up there - spica boarst. # blot out my transgressions # purge me with hyssop -# and i shall be clean # wash me # wash me # and i shall be whiter than snow # (albert) where's richard? -he's plucking. he's plucking, eh? richard! where are you? stop that plucking. -where are you? now what's that? a-s-p... that's nonsense. spell it right, for ohrist's sake. -bloody hell. richard! rich... ah! there you are, richard. -now... leave that out and come and see what i've got you, eh? i've brought you a present. this is our anniversary. three months of mutual understanding, eh, richard? -three months since i first invited you to be my favourite restaurateur. (french accent) mr spica, this is a duck. ducks are born with the feathers on but it's your dinner, mr spica. if you want the feathers to remain, we could try the dish, i suppose, by leaving the feathers as they are. -oanard en ses plumes torche. mitchel, you mule. 'ere, richard, come and see, come on. please, i beg you. ha! -oome on. georgina, how many times have i told you? no smoking in the kitchen. mitchel, get your arse down here quick. oome on. -(oook shouting) now, richard, this is your... well, our new sign. # da-da-da-da-da-da! # wallop! -(oheering and applause) (albert) oh, god! richard. it's dark in the restaurant. yes, phillipe. -thanks to mr spica's generosity, it is dark everywhere. no power, no light. were you thinking of a cold buffet tonight? (albert) but i don't want a cold buffet. paté d'alouettes with a chicory sauce. -paté d'alouettes with a chicory sauce. terrine de caneton. terrine de canton. oold turkey with lemon and basilica. oold turkey with the lemon and basilica. -anchovies in garlic vinegar. it doesn't have to be cold, you've got gas, for god's sake! (wolf whistle) (mews) got an arse on her like two greased watermelons in a sack. (richard) oold chicken, paté d'alouettes, salade de langoustine, gâteau de carottes et gruyére... -you. you put them electrics right, mitchel. put them electrics right or... (richard) you don't eat. you don't eat. i told you not to smoke. -i should stand still, mr spica. or who knows? you might spoil something, put your foot in something. so, a hot meal for tonight. something special, please. -how about some... some, er, les oh d'oeuvres, er, gâteau au poivres, er, terrine et fillet lamb et poison au er, poi, poi... it's "poisson". what did you say, georgie? what did you say? what did you say? -poisson. (oheering) (whistling) well, mr spica, i hope you are hungry. always. -get in there, boys. go on, georgie, go in there, raise your skirts and warm my seat. (laughs) eh, what do you think then, eh? what do you...? (orockery smashes) -if you spent as much money on the meal, mr spica, as you waste on the decor, your taste in good food must surely improve. (dogs barking) (albert) you'll cheek me once too often, boarst. you rely on me, don't forget. without me, you, a foreigner, you wouldn't last long around here. -look out there, see what i've brought you. two vans full of good stuff, just right for your kitchen. (richard) i would not touch it. (albert) why on earth not? i insist on buying my own food, mr spica. -then i can be sure of its quality. i represent quality round here, my name is known for it. i offer quality and protection. protection against what, i wonder, mr spica? and whom? -protection, boarst, against the rash temper of my men. against a sudden arrival of food poisoning. against rats. against the public health inspector. (richard) if you are hungry tonight, you are going to have to wait. -do up the third button of your expensive jacket, mr spica. you'll feel less empty inside, mr spica. you can't make me wait. (boy soprano) # deliver me # from blood-guiltiness -# o god # my tongue shall sing aloud # of thy righteousness # have mercy upon me # blot out my transgressions -# o lord, open thou my lips # and my mouth # shall show forth thy praise # and my mouth # shall show forth thy praise -# and my mouth # shall show forth thy praise # and my mouth # shall show forth thy praise # no, you don't eat it like that! -let me show you. oh. imagine you are sucking the little fingers of a lady or... no, you'd never get that close to a lady. who'd wanna get that close to you? -i wouldn't be interested in her fingers. i'd expect you to say that. you'd just whip it in, whip it out and wipe it on yourjacket. look at yourjacket, it's like a pig field. and your nails could do with a clean. -show me. gawd. why can't i have some bloody quality in my associates? from now on, anyone not properly dressed for dinner will pay for it. i'll write lessons down for you. -georgina can type them out. "notes for gourmets". that's french for a good eater, isn't it, boarst? (belches) gourmets don't belch. -on the contrary, on the contrary. they do. it shows that you are enjoying a meal. not with your fingers, spangler! that's all you understand - things you eat with your hands whilst walking down the street. -you told mews to eat the celery with his fingers. that's different, you dope. and it's asparagus, not celery. what's the point of sinking thousands into a restaurant if you refuse to eat properly? tell him, georgina. -tell him what? just copy georgina. she knows how to do it. oory, get richard in here. i want my sign fixed up and put on that wall over the kitchen door. -if richard was more interested in slogans, he'd make more money, eh? this place is too dark. (belches) oould do with a respray. gold, it needs more gold. -how about gold and blue? what do you think, henry? 10,000 should do it - two months' takings. you should get in there. boarst's prices are all over the place. -his head's in the clouds. good cook. brilliant cook! except he puts mushrooms on everything. henry, put that cigarette out. -do you mind if i eat whilst you smoke? gordon choked on a cigarette whilst eating - burnt his epiglottis. mitchel, you've got one. and you don't keep it in your trousers. you don't put orange rind on the edge of your plate, it goes there, you dolt! -what you've got to realise is that a clever cook puts unlikely things together like duck and orange, like pineapple and ham. it's called artistry. i'm an artist, the way i combine my business and my pleasure. money's my business, eating's my pleasure. and georgie's my pleasure too, though in a more private kind of way than stuffing the mouth and feeding the sewers. -though the pleasures are related, because the naughty bits and the dirty bits are so close together that itjust goes to show how eating and sex are related. georgie's naughty bits are nicely related, aren't they? especially when she's paying me attention. georgie. (gasps) -(albert) get phillipe! in future, i want my napkins folded at home, georgina. get adele to teach you. spangler, get up and get phillipe. bring richard here, i've got to make him a proposition. -get adele to get that water with the angostura bitters in it and some lemon in the water and a bowl of ice water for me fingers... henry! give me those glasses off that table. and the flowers. this should look the most important table here. -i like a load of glasses around, it highers the tone. what's that? for madame spica, compliments of the house. she's no madame. why haven't i got one? -i doubt, mr spica, if you'll like it. try me. we have grown accustomed to you being a conservative eater. that's not true. i'm as adventurous as the next. -your wife has an excellent palate, mr spica. it is always a pleasure for us to serve her. (albert) i want one of those hot, damp towels, richard, served to me with tongs. adele is no good with cash and figures. she's just decorative, all lips and tits. -we'll replace her. (mitchel) oan i do the replacing? stuff your mouth, mitchel. every time you open it, you just show how vulgar you can be. (albert) georgina! -welcome back. did you wipe the seat before you parked your bum? (laughs) you never know what you can catch these days. every toilet seat is a minefield. -that's for you. richard thought i might like to taste it, personal compliments of the chef. eat it. i didn't fancy it, it smelt off. iris got a canker on her bum from sitting on a loo seat. -the mechanic across the road poured battery acid down the wo to clear it. some of it splashed on the seat. iris ran screaming into the street, her backside hissing. she hasn't been the same since. she strips the same but never with her back to the audience. -she had to change her act. now it's more full-frontal. where are you going? i left my lighter in the toilet. gawd's sake. -you don't need it. i need it. richard, i'm going to ban smoking in here. tomorrow, the signs are going up. you want to thicken your french accent up a bit, mate, like you've just come over from paris. -give them a bit of that ooh-la-la stuff. bit more of that "parlez-vous français?" then you would not understand me, mr spica. i don't know. i've always been able to understand french letters. -(laughter) (door opens) (water running) (door opens) georgina! -what the hell are you doing in here? georgina? you've been in here for ages. what are you doing, having a baby? i'm, er, i'm just... -i'm just having a quiet smoke. smoke? you know how you hate me smoking at the table. gawd's sake, georgina. why tell me lies about a lost lighter? -(georgina) i didn't, i left it here on the ledge in front of the mirror. i'll be out in a few moments. don't hang around the ladies, you'll embarrass the customers. show me the lighter.

(water running) you know what they say about men who hang around ladies' lavatories? -what do they say about men who hang around ladies' lavatories? they're asking to have their illusions shattered. yeah. you hold no illusions for me, georgie, eh? no stone's been left unturned. -look, just go order my profiteroles, will you? oome on. oome on. (laughter) i think these ethiopians like starving. -it keeps them slim and graceful, with those big heads and dreamy eyes. you know those kids. (georgina) you're sick. (albert) i might well be if you're being so priggish. (woman) what do you know, georgina, about the starving? -you can have anything you want. where you been? you're late. it's friday night. there's a lot of money about. -a decent man needs gloves to touch this stuff. let's have a look. that's just what this restaurant needs. start laying them out. (belches) -what's the matter, mitchel? don't you like mussels? you got to learn to like them if you're going to eat with me. don't you dare throw up in here! or i'll get spangler to stuff 'em back down your throat. -(oory) from the malay restaurant. the food poisoning scared them, they're paying up. i'm sure they don't need our assistance with that. that stuff they eat, they'd poison themselves with it. some of them indians are well known for drinking their own pee. -the same water would go round and round. of course, you're bound to lose some through evaporation. then you'd have to top it up. whose pee would you drink first? erm... -me, i'd have a ready supply, wouldn't i? georgie and i have our little sessions when we... good god, what have you got there? even you are getting compliments from the chef, are you? being a guinea pig for a boarst experiment, are we? -good god, looks like, er, food for constipated french rabbits. albert, why don't you order me some chianti? you know i like chianti. in the bottle with the wrapping around it. then i can take it home and hang it on the wall. -grace, haven't you got enough of them already? no. where the hell are you going? to the toilet. you haven't had anything to drink yet. -she's got a bladder like a leaky marrow. don't be long! you've upset her. rubbish. don't be long! -you're so talkative tonight, we couldn't stand the silence without you. wash your hands! questo, questo. oazzo. dove hai imparato a cucinare? -è velenoso. vieni qua. that's off! uh. this custard's salty. -it is sauce hollandaise. oan i help you, mr spica? i've come about those special complimentary dishes. in future, all the guests at my table shall receive them. why is my fish taking so long? -you can carry it in yourself, if you like, mr spica. what are you looking for? nothing. you bring it. (richard) you would not be looking for your wife? -no, of course not. mr spica, i have something to show you. what is this? new cutlery. give your restaurant some style. -i brought in 300 sets. my men are just re-laying the tables. not very good quality, mr spica. you could use them at home, mr spica. all 300 of them. -where have you been? wiping your bum? did you use your left hand like i showed you? where'd you get this stuff, mews? it's rubbish, falling apart. -take 'em back. get a 150%% refund. god. what are you eating, georgie? not much. -ha! i see others here get the same special attentions. what is it? looks like some sort of... watery salade. that's not up to much. -expensive, no doubt, but not fattening. you've got to keep your strength up, you're looking peaky. kidneys, liver, iron, that's what you need. do you know a cow drinks its own weight in water twice a week? for milk, you see, because a cow's got great big tits. -just like you, eh, georgie? you gentlemen will have to take it for granted because for some reason best known to herself, she's left her bra off. have you, oory, ever tasted human milk? i mean recently. all them years ago don't count. -you couldn't really appreciate what you were enjoying then, could you? i bet human milk's a great delicacy in some countries. it ought to be here. do you know, oory, who could supply us with some human milk? (spangler) warm, straight from the receptacle, so to speak? -don'tjoke! it's a precious commodity, not a joking matter! georgie wouldn'tjoke about it, would you? would you, georgie? ah. -you're a credit to women. you could show these young women a thing or two. you could teach these young men a thing or two. take mitchel. on second thoughts, don't, cos he's a crude little bugger. -then how come you haven't got any kids? kids? who needs kids? who wants kids? i want kids. -we'll have kids one day, won't we, eh? when you're bloody old and grey, most like! yeah. your trouble is you don't eat properly. you should drink more water and eat more kidneys and then you might bloody well have a bloody baby someday. -georgie doesn't like babies, do you? you know, sometimes, georgie, i think you behave like a bloke. what days are those, then, albert? what's it like? you what? -get away from this table, you mucky little wimp! go and eat your vegetable soup in the kitchen, you dirty little pervert! go on, get on with your eating, eh? it's only mitchel making a fool of himself. now, stand in the corner. -oory, make him a paper hat. stand in the corner like a naughty little boy. stand there. take your knife and fork with you. don't be stupid. -do you want to join him? leave him alone. he's only copying you like he always does. you behave, he'll behave. i'm leaving. -yes, we are leaving. gracie, here. pay the bill and take a taxi. yeah. georgie and i might go for a little drive. -it's our wedding anniversary tomorrow. might drive down to the sea, have some fun under the pier like we used to. oops. i am sorry. still, this isn't a library, it's a restaurant. -they got people for that. richard. this needs cooking. grill it with some mashed peas.

(flies buzzing) (georgina sobbing) -(georgina gasping) (oreaking) what is this place? it's a book depository. when my bookshop is quiet, i do a stocktaking job. -i'm cataloguing french history. there's a kitchen and a bathroom. it's a bit primitive but there's an extraordinary view. have you read all these books? no. -it's not necessary for the book-keeper to read all the stock. with a job like this, you could be very boring. are we safe here? does albert read? no. -if you don't read, does that make you safe? only from bad books. you could spend a lifetime in here reading. you could. two lifetimes - yours and mine. -is that what i'm in for? no. what good are all these books to you? you can't eat them. how can they make you happy? -i've always found them very reasonable. they don't change their minds when you're not looking. that sounds like a disadvantage to me. kiss me. # wash me thoroughly -# from my iniquity # and blot out... # i... # blot out... i think perhaps... -# my...? # i think perhaps we'll leave the singing. do you agree, until later, maybe? how is the restaurant? -it's all right. and richard? mr boarst? he's fine. is there any more trouble, er, like last night? -no, sir. would you like to join us? no, thank you. i'll eat later with mr boarst. enjoy your meal. -thank you. erm, have you any other news to tell us? mr boarst says... he told me to tell you to stay put and he wishes you bon appétit. thank you. -when you're finished, i'm to take the dishes back. oh, if you find any of those books interesting, you can borrow them. wa-woo! di-di-di-di-dah-da! (dogs barking) -all right, where are they? where are they? i don't know. you don't know? i don't suppose you ate all this yourself. -what have we got in here? let's see. ah. fish sauce with mayonnaise and a touch of basil. i like basil. -what else we got in here? aha. it's sticky. don't tell me. ohocolate sauce - profiteroles. -georgina liked profiteroles. oh, and serviettes with georgina's lipstick on them. and a nice bottle of wine. very nice. he's for the chop, richard. -i'll get my hands on him. leave that bread roll alone. i need to know where they are. where are they? eh? -ah. ah. that's good. open your mouth. oome on, open it. -take an interest in your food. (mews) we don't need to do this. getting squeamish? he's just a kid. stand him up and get his trousers down. -leave him alone. get out. who needs fairies like you? and take your four-eyed cousin with you. see how you get on in the streets without me to wipe your noses. -get lost! righto. ok, button eater, tell me where they are. (screaming) ok, button eater, where are they? -we've run out of buttons. but there is one more button. it's your belly button. how'd you like to swallow that? albert! -you still here? (shrieking) well, then, watch this. wake him up! wake him up, wake him up. -i must find out where she is! wake him up! wake him up! where are they? if he comes to, he better start to talk. -(albert laughs) i got 'em! i have brought your dinner. (whispers) where's the kitchen lad? he is in hospital. what? -he said he told them nothing and i believe him. i must see him. (richard) i don't think that's wise. i'm coming. you must take me to him. -start packing. (michael) what have we got to pack? richard. richard, bring that for pup. what can you do? -you only endanger yourself. i'll only be gone an hour. richard, you can bring me back, can't you? oh, poor pup. oh, poor pup. -(sobs) leave me something to eat. of course. please be very careful. (front door closes) -(pup) # have mercy upon me # have mercy upon me # blot out my transgressions # blot out my transgressions # purge me with hyssop... # -thank you. # wash me, wash me # and i shall be whiter than snow... # hold him by his hair. (ohoking, gagging) -(mitchel) he hasn't got much hair to hold. disgusting to be that old and to be her lover. (mews) same age as you. i'm her husband, not her lover. you can only be one and not the other? -if he'd been younger, i could've understood. he'd just be a passing fancy. you bastard! right, mitchel, now's your chance. you are gonna chew bollocks. -(mitchel) he's too old. what's that mean? he's the same age as me - 40, almost. if he was younger it would've been all right? my god. -when you're 17, is being 40 old? (mitchel) he probably hasn't had a bath recently. (laughs) god, mitchel, you are a prize mule. well, i mean, certainly... he must've been with georgina last night. -no! shut up. shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up! you pissing little worm. god, you are an idiot, mitchel. -you can be guaranteed to say the wrong thing at the right time. i didn't mean that you literally had to chew his bollocks off. i meant it metaphorically. what does that mean, albert? "jewish book-keeper savaged by young sex maniac." -(michael choking) i don't want this to look like a sex murder. it's a revenge killing, an affair of the heart, a crime passionnel. i want no evil gossip spread around about me. (gurgling cries) -they are not going to say... they are going to say this was a dignified revenge killing. they're gonna admire the style. "he was stuffed. and albert liked good food." -they might even smile. "he was stuffed with the tools of his trade." "he was stuffed with books. the crummy little book-keeper was..." mitchel, no unnecessary... -no unnecessaries. finish him off! shut his mouth, hold his nose, ram the bloody books down his throat. suffocate the bastard! (georgina) michael! -michael. ok, so this is how you eat the crayfish. first, you snap off the head. (orunching) then you pull out the whiskers, then you strip off the legs. -and then you poke out the soft part of the body. you turn the light out? (mitchel) what light? idiot. you wouldn't remember to fart. -place might burn down with all them books. that would nicely destroy the evidence. i don't want it destroyed, idiot! i want georgina to see it. what did he say? -the french revolution was easier to swallow than napoleon. napoleon was a prat. he threw everything away. napoleon liked seafood. his favourite dish was oysters florentine. -it's amazing, isn't it? ohurchill liked seafood. all the great generals were keen on seafood. what did julius oaesar like, or hitler? hitler liked clams. -and mussolini liked squid. you're making it up. what do you know, harris? what did the bookseller eat? you could tell from his vomit. -what do i care what he ate? it all comes out as shit in the end. (sighs) i'm so tired. i'm going to sleep. -i've got a lot to tell you in the morning. and i want you to listen. somebody should know. and who can i tell but you? and then... when i wake up in the morning, -i want you to kiss me. and then i want breakfast. erm, coffee and fresh rolls and butter and marmalade. and toast. and... -good night, michael. i'll see you in the morning. i love you. you shouldn't have done it. it wasn't worth it. -you what? georgina wasn't worth it? how bloody dare you say that? georgina's worth a thousand snooty little jewish book-keeping clerks who masturbate over the french revolution. the book-keeper will get us into trouble and he wasn't worth it. -oalm down. little circumcised mediocrity was screwing my wife! i will not calm down! i've seen you, harris, eyeing georgina, looking at another man's wife. i've seen you watch her skirt fly up when she got out of the car. -yes, i've seen you sniffing her, harris. and to think i ever trusted you with her, that i ever trusted you to drive her home when i was drunk. you get out of this restaurant! oalm down. mitchel, get richard. -i want this man banned. get out! if you want to shout... i can shout in my own restaurant! i own this restaurant. -get out! fuck you! go, you mule! richard, i'm closing you up. really? -you are finished, richard. allowing decent people to dine with wife snatchers. you're finished! i think not, mr spica! and if i did, where would you eat? -who would have you? now, if you'd kindly leave, we can start clearing up the mess you have made. i'm warning you. tomorrow your restaurant will be just one big car park. nothing more. -i wonder how you will do that. a bulldozer, richard. your cuisine will be 20 feet under brick dust. get out of it, harris. you get out of it. -go on. i can tell loyalty when i see it. well, michael, you didn't kiss me so... i suppose i have to make my own breakfast. -don't get up yet. well, michael, that's that. short and very sweet. now you're not listening, i suppose i could tell you about albert. i meant to tell you eventually but i'd have to know you better because... -well, because i'd be so ashamed. but it's important that i tell you now so that i can have done with it. albert beat me. well, i know you know that. you saw the bruises. -he was regular in his habits. when we got back from the restaurant, he'd make me get a hot, wet towel and accompany him to the toilet. and i'd have to wipe his... after i finished, he... he made... oh... -help me, michael. on his side of the bed he had a suitcase with all kinds of objects in it. er, a toothbrush, a wooden spoon, a plastic train, a wine bottle. and he'd use them. -if i didn't do it whilst he watched, he'd insist on doing it himself. at least when i did it, it hurt less. i don't think he was very interested in sex - not with me, not with women. i left him four times. i caught the night ferry. -he and harris found me in brussels, they brought me back. on the boat, albert cried, bought me presents. but then after we landed, when we gotjust outside the harbour, before the motorway, he stopped the car and he and harris and spangler dragged me out and stripped me and beat me. 'michael, 'all this must finish. 'help me, michael. -please.' he's dead. they stuffed his mouth with paper ripped from his favourite book. oould you cook him? oook who, georgina? -michael. no. mon dieu, non. you have a reputation for a wide range of experimental dishes. he might taste good. -i'm sure he would taste good. what would taste best? his heart? his liver? the cheeks of his backside? -(laughs) his prairie oysters? georgina, sit down. sit down. when you make out a menu, how do you price each dish? i charge a lot for anything black. -grapes, olives, blackcurrants. people like to remind themselves of death, eating black food is like consuming death, like saying, "death, i'm eating you." black truffles are the most expensive. and caviar. -death and birth. the end and the beginning. don't you think it's appropriate that the most expensive items are black? we also charge for vanity. diet foods have an additional surcharge of 30%% . -aphrodisiacs, 50%% . and from what i saw, your lover did not need an aphrodisiac. what did you see? i want to know. nobody knew but you. -everyone pitied me. even you pitied me. and how can i know that he loved me if there were no witnesses? if you loved him, that does not seem to be a very necessary question. yes, it does! -tell me what you know! what i saw was what you let me see. of course it was. how could i know that it was real unless someone else was watching? tell me what you saw. -or are you ashamed to tell me? no. i saw him kissing you on the mouth, on the neck, behind your ear. i saw him undressing you. -i saw him kissing your breasts. i saw him put his hand between your legs. and what did you see me do? i saw you kiss him on the mouth. i saw you lying under him on the floor of the pantry. -i saw him take you from behind. i saw you take his penis in your mouth. i saw you... do lovers always behave like that? my parents behaved like that. -they did? you saw them? and lovers in the cinema behave like that. no, that doesn't count. and in my fantasies, lovers always behave like that. -were you jealous? did we make you jealous? did you want to join us? if you did, help me now. georgina, no. -in memory of us making love in your kitchen and in your fantasies, help me now. no. in memory of your parents making love, help me now. georgina, no! people i like learn my name too late. -too late? oook michael for me. no. this was his favourite restaurant. it's also mine. -oook michael for me. if i did, who would ever eat here again? how can i make you change your mind? do you want to make love with me? you can do what he did. -how can i persuade you? you can't. you may have loved him... you know i did, you saw me. but you don't have to eat him, georgina. -do you... do you have some idea that by eating him he can become part of you? you can't believe that by eating him you can always be together! i'm not eating him. albert is. albert? -there's £11,000. it's michael's. put your money away. where is he? (georgina moaning) -(georgina crying) (hollow banging) (banging on glass) what's going on here? why do i suddenly have to come in to my own restaurant like a stranger? -special invitations. which i might say could've gone to a better printer. i have to bang on the door like an outcast. well, well, well. georgina duckles. -what brings you here, you bitch? i'm very surprised you show your face here, you slut. where you been? albert has been frantic. shut up, grace. -find me a drink. happy anniversary, albert. i'll bloody kill you for what you did! you should find that easy. don't think i'm taking you back. -i'll make you pay, you slut. your bottom's going to be very, very sore for weeks. no more books for you, girl. you're staying in under lock and key. there's going to be no more books or prick-sniffing for you, girl. -happy anniversary, albert. what are you talking about? it's not my birthday. no, but it's an anniversary that i shall always celebrate, even if you won't. and you won't. -what? where is everybody? they'll be here presently. look, georgina. what? -it's all over now. what is? grace, just go and look out of a window. oh. mitchel, bugger off out of it. -look, georgina, when the others arrive... where are they? the invitation says nine o'clock. where are they gonna sit? they'll be here presently. -look, georgina, you didn't... didn't really like him, did you? i mean, how could you like a bloody book-keeper, a nobody? i tell you what. i'll try... -we'll forget it, eh? eh? oome home with me. tell you the truth, georgie, i've been a bit miserable. since it is your anniversary... -what bloody anniversary? i've brought you a present. i don't need presents. it's me who gives you presents. besides, you've never had the money to give me presents. -and richard has cooked it for you. under my instructions. oh? knowing how you like to eat. knowing how you like to gorge yourself. -and we've brought a few of your friends around. (albert) what sort of party is this, georgie? what's going on? sit down, albert. oan't i sit down, georgina? -no, this is albert's special treat. here, i'm not eating with that roy there. shut up, albert. you're here to enjoy yourself. georgie. -jesus! god. (georgina) no, it's not god, albert. it's michael. my lover. -you vowed you would kill him, and you did. and you vowed you would eat him. now eat him. what's the matter? you have your knife and fork. -you do know how to use them. or have all those carefully-learnt table manners gone to waste? mitchel can pour you a drink. (mitchel whimpers) your waiter has opted out. -er, grace will pour for you. oh. non, monsieur! yah! eat, albert. -roy, pour albert a drink. try the cock, albert. it's a delicacy. and you know where it's been. (grunting) -(georgina) go on, albert. eat. bon appétit. it's french. cannibal. -sammy jo! last time on dynasty: i've seen the man who shot me. krystle and i... krystle? -krystle recognised him? she said she had seen him in her nightmare coming out of the lake. coming out of the lake. what is this...? -prowling around at the lake and now he's out at delta rho. what is he after? what does he want? why not just destroy it? no, the collection is not the problem. -if it could be released to the world, i'd do it. but once you did release it and it came to light, we'd have to explain how it got here. what a pity that krystle's still alive. that does cramp your style, rather. maybe you should send one of your henchmen to switzerland and pull the plug on her. -i care for blake as a close friend. and if you choose to go after him with a sordid murder accusation, i personally will pull the plug on you. no, i don't have any official business. they took me off the case. -they finally got good sense. whose strings did you pull? i had nothing to do with it. you expect me to believe that? get him out of here. -stop it! let go! get him out of here before i kill him. i'll remember you said that. why is he so desperate to have me taken off the case? -what is he so afraid that i'm gonna find out? i don't want to leave you like this. fallon, i'm pulling out of here. they look like my tankers. i have just bought your ships at auction, alexis. -for 10 cents on the dollar. i don't believe it. you once asked me what i wanted from you and i said everything you've got. let's consider this the second instalment, alexis. how did you do it? -with a little help from your friends. friends? what friends? alexis, you don't really expect me to betray those that have placed their trust in me, do you? oh, you'd pull the plug on a dying man's respirator if you thought it could do you some good. -you talk about yourself. you won't believe what i heard. yes, i think she does believe it now, don't you, alexis? of course. hamilton stone. -you got him to betray me, didn't you? no, actually. he didn't betray you. he's been working with me from the beginning. from the beginning. -oh, yes. long before you and i met so delightfully in los angeles that time. all right, sable, you've won this battle. but the war isn't over yet. now, there's the door. -use it. and tell your friend stone that playing both sides against the middle is a very dangerous game. oh, really? and what about you, adam? hamilton stone may have double-crossed a mere acquaintance, -but not his own father. what's that supposed to mean? you live in your father's house and pretend to run his company. yet obviously, your real interests are with mommy dearest. out! -very pleasant evening. what a mess. you really must learn to respect other people's property. we're not gonna let her get away with this. we'll slap her with a fortune in lawsuits. -a friend from law school specialises in maritime law... shut up, adam! i'm not gonna spend the next five years in court. i'm gonna handle this my way. in a way that that woman is going to understand. -well, what do you want to do? you used to have another friend who handled special operations. you told me that he kept his wallet in one pocket. gun in the other. gun in the other. -cray boyd. yes, he's a mercenary, isn't he? he prefers to be called a soldier of fortune. i don't care what he's called as long as he does what i want. do you know where he is? -i could try to reach him when i get back to the office. do it now, adam. jeff, have you seen fallon? she, uh, took off with the cop. i should have known. -oh, blake. look, i'm sure she didn't mean to. didn't mean to what? turn against me? turn against the family? -i told her i didn't want her to see that man again. look what she does. i just can't reach her. come on, blake. she may be headstrong and irrational, but she would never do anything to betray you. -she just did. you know how she is. she never thinks past the moment. she never has. i tell you, i just don't know her anymore, jeff. -i remember when she was a little girl. i'd come home from the office and she would race into my arms. and i'd hold her in my lap. we'd talk. we were so close then. -now she's doing something that we're all gonna be sorry for. well, maybe if you'd satisfy her curiosity, she'd back off. she knows you're keeping something from her. i'm keeping something from her because it's necessary. and i don't think i should have to explain myself to my own daughter. -it's colterton, isn't it? you know about colterton? sure. my family was involved too. jason, my grandfather. -how much do you know? well, not much. i do know about the mine and there was a project going on there. i guess i was about 6 or so and i went out there with some friends and we got chased off by some armed guards. i asked my grandfather what was... -what was going on. and all he would say was that it was top secret. and that's all that you know? well, that and that it had to do with world war ii. the families didn't want the project to go public. -blake, if there's something i can do to help, feel free to ask. thank you, jeff. i appreciate that. i trust you. i wish i trusted my own children as much. -well, fallon has a good heart. i know. it's her judgement that concerns me now. you know, god may have left you short on brains, but he sure made you beautiful. short on brains? -yeah. i mean, if you had any, you wouldn't be hanging around with me right now, would you? you know, my father's never gonna forgive me for this one. probably not, but i'll tell you something. i won't forgive him, either. -you didn't have to storm the house. no? you didn't have to leave with me either. true. breakfast in bed. -yeah. you shouldn't have. the only other thing i have is cold spaghetti. you want cold spaghetti? no. -my holster looks lonely over there, doesn't it? i never thought i'd see the day. i guess i could always put your hair brush in there, huh? you'll get your gun back. i don't know. -it's sort of like the army, you know? you make one move your captain doesn't like, and your nose is in toilets for the rest of the stay. come on, it can't be that bad. let me tell you something. a cop without a gun is a joke. -he's got as much power as... is that what it is that you like about being a cop, the power? no. ever worked a crossword puzzle? and then sometimes you get stuck on a big word right in the middle that about 20 other words hook up to it? -drives you crazy, right? then all of a sudden, you figure it out, and the whole puzzle falls into place. it's fantastic. it's almost as good as, uh... okay, so maybe not that good. -mm. ha-ha-ha. oh, no. heh. no, no, you see, i've already almost lost two prizes this way. -a gun. wouldn't you know it? you'll get your job back. yeah, sure. all i have to do is crawl to your father on my knees and say: -"yes, sir, mr. carrington, i was wrong. i should not have performed my duties. i should not have pushed that police investigation that you didn't want me to. if anybody's guilty here, it was me. i should have been diligent in my duties to protect a rich gentleman such as yourself." -don't. that's the way it is, isn't it? am i wrong? i mean, if your old man was the guy next door, would he be able to have my gun taken away from me? he's not a bad man, zorelli. -well, i gotta tell you, right now, my opinion is just a little prejudiced. it's already morning. don't you think you should go home? but i don't wanna go home. not just yet. -with zorelli off the case, there's a chance we could turn things around. but the crucial problem now is the scuba diver. did the police get any more out of him? no, i have a feeling that i'm gonna have to do that. blake, wait a minute... -it's the only way i can think of. i'll call in a couple of favours and go in alone to see him. how? without exposing our hand. i won't be exposing anything. -after all, the man shot my daughter-in-law. i wanna know why. i don't know. i'm gonna go down to that hospital and i'm gonna get him to talk. we don't have anything to hold over him. -he'll talk. you heard anything from alexis? she hasn't said a thing. it's starting to bother the hell out of me. it's bad enough our fathers have us sitting on a time bomb, the thought alexis could set the whole thing off... -we'll find a way to stop her. we have to. virginia. mm. morning. -morning. i had a wonderful time last night. sorry i had to leave you so abruptly. everything work out okay? everything but getting back to you. -can we get together later? gee, uh, i don't know... why? is something wrong? it's our best hope. -you'll call me. yes. as soon as i leave the hospital. you know, adam, on second thought, i'd love to get together. -great. see you later. morning. dad. dex. -i could call her back, dex, if you're ready to turn the other cheek. robert, have you seen rafael? he was supposed to bring my car around. no, ma'am, but i'll check for you. thank you. -oh, lend me that a minute, will you? hamilton stone. you bastard. what's going on? just imagine that you're on a tanker with no life preserver. -have you lost your mind? and there's no one around to watch you drown. and you will drown too by the time i'm finished with you, you traitor. sable's an old friend. i was just doing her a favour. -it was nothing personal. what i have planned for you is nothing personal either. you've been plotting behind my back all the time since i.a., haven't you? you promised me that you'd get back my ships and then you give them to her. -it's not as cut-and-dried as that. all the time you've been hiding behind that viper's skirts. really, alexis, i thought you'd be a better sport about all this. sport? this is not sport, sybil, this is war. -oh, i'm sorry you feel that way. it's all a game to me. oh, no. oh, no, it's not a game to you because you're trying to destroy me. but you can't, because i'm indestructible. -we'll see. as for you, you pathetic little monkey, you backed the wrong cousin this time. and the next time we meet, i'm gonna see you hanging from the family tree. hamilton, i think you need a drying out. -calm down, hamilton. i don't know what you're so nervous about. alexis could hurt me badly. she wasn't supposed to find out i was helping you. oh, what difference does it make? -that woman is all flap and no propeller. i wouldn't underestimate her, sable. yes, yes, yes, i know hell hath no fury like alexis scorned. don't worry, i'll keep her in check. but for now we've won, hamilton. -it's time to celebrate. you performed miracles. you got me her ships. are you sure he'll show up? he was supposed to fly in first thing this morning. -god, what a dismal place. just the sort of dump you'd expect a mercenary to choose. i didn't choose it, your son did. i would have preferred the carlton hotel lobby. cray, i appreciate your coming. -well, i see you haven't lost that little boy look that used to drive the coeds crazy. ha-ha-ha. alexis colby. cray boyd. -how do you do? that's an unusual name. it's short for creighton. well, you are hardly what i imagined a soldier of fortune would look like. oh, fortune is the key word. -and you're not exactly what i expected when adam said he was bringing his mother. i can think of more exciting things to seize than your ships. mm. well, let's get down to business, shall we? i'm sure that adam has filled you in. -yeah, to a certain degree. you realise that what you're asking is no small operation. nothing that i do is done in a small way, mr. boyd. i know the area. i do too. -the bay in natumbe is not an easy place to operate. it's going to take helicopters, armed speedboats, some sophisticated tracking equipment. what about the crew? for seven ships? forty-five, maybe 50 men. -and i'll have to recruit them. americans? some, maybe. i look for competence, not what flag they salute. how do we know you can handle such a big operation? -can you? ha, ha. if you're talking about money... no, i'm not concerned about money. if i was, i wouldn't be here. -what i am concerned about are repercussions. some very good men are gonna be on the line, with wives and kids. they're going to be protected. they will be. that's the point. -so you have to know, going in, if anybody gets in their way, they might lose something valuable. are you trying to frighten us, mr. boyd? no, just laying down some ground rules. if we get in this together, whatever comes down, nobody will be able to trace anything to you. i just wanna make sure it works the other way around too. -and how do we know we can trust you? you don't. well, mr. boyd, if you're as good as your hype, this should be a very interesting mission. they said mr. dexter had been out all day. i just don't understand. -he has an appointment, he doesn't show up. where the hell is he? don't answer that, just find him. where would you like me to start? you want to be an executive assistant, be creative. -yes, ma'am. morning. boyd just called with the estimates. this little job is gonna cost... i don't care what it costs, adam. -what? i want that sable colby destroyed. i want everything that that woman possesses blown off the face of the earth and then i want that hamilton stone drowned with one of my tankers wrapped around his neck. and then i want to toast them both in pink champagne. will you calm down? -i won't rest until that woman rots in hell! why are you yelling at me? convenience! i'm on your side, remember? i'm sick of sable stalking the house. -nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see her forced to sell her furs back to the animals but one step at a time. darling, it's good to know that i have one person in the world that i can rely on. always said, "like mother, like son." mm. i just wish i could understand why you insist upon working for your father. -at least sable was right about that. your loyalties are scattered. no more than yours. what do you mean by that? dexter. -you've got him snooping into all your affairs like some wet-nosed mongrel. adam, please. stay out of this, will you? tell me about that mercenary. cray boyd? -mm. you know everything you need to know about him. well, i'm giving him a great deal of money to mount this operation. and that's the only thing you can entrust him with. watch it, mother. -he knows a lot more about killing than he does about love. how bizarre. he's been known to get the two confused on occasion. hmm. even more bizarre. -careful. hmm. the only thing worse than soggy tuna is somebody watching you eat it. what do you want? i thought maybe we could talk. -you can talk on the phones where i put you. listen, captain, maybe i didn't handle this carrington case the way i should have. did you ever have a hunch? yeah, when i hired you. and it's proven to be wrong. -first, this body pops up, right? twenty-five years dead. everybody's ready to steam it, send the bones down to the junkyard, forgetting it was a bullet that scrambled his brains. everybody except you. -which is why you'll be answering phones until you hear a dial tone when you're brushing your teeth. with all due respect, and correct me if i'm wrong, but when a cop has a hunch, like that maybe the killer of this 25-year-old corpse is putting bullets in a gun for another hit, shouldn't he follow it up? what are you saying, zorelli? sammy jo carrington was shot. -could have been killed. we know it's not the guy that put the hole in that corpse, he's too young. but maybe he popped that body to the surface. if he is... captain, look, if i could just question this guy... -the only questioning you'll be doing is: "where's the tree?" and "do we need a ladder to get the cat down?" is that understood? damn it. -these two cases are connected. i know it. there's something going on. if we're not on it, bullet's gonna find its mark and one of the carringtons are gonna be dead. i don't like you, zorelli. -good. we got that out of the way. you have disobeyed orders since the day you drove up in that subversive car. subversive? i saw your record. -no army, no navy. just a bunch of damned college credits that gave you a big head and no muscles. you may think you're some hotshot big city detective, but in this department, you're a grunt, until i tell you otherwise. i understand that. if you'd just give me a chance... -you got your chance and blew it. if you're not out of here in two seconds, you're on suspension. make it three, and you're fired. do we understand each other? mm. -what are you doing? give me that. hey. isn't your stomach killing you already? wait a minute. -shot up to within an inch of your life, and now you gotta continue to self- destruct? you could've died for god's sakes. you're telling me? it wasn't your fault, right? what are you talking about? -he shot me. and you shot him. everybody shoots up everybody else. okay, where did you get this? listen... -a friend gave it to me. why? somebody you, uh, hang around with a lot? yeah... what's wrong? -what...? are you crazy? where is it? where is what? give me that. -you tell me where it is or i'll rip this to pieces. i'm calling the nurse. look, i'm trying to help you, okay? i mean, look at you. you know, you look ten years older than you are. -now, wait just a minute. such a pretty girl too. you're almost a woman. almost a... well, you're 16, right? -next year, you'll be 17. that is if you make it. okay, all right. it's not in the bunny, then you stashed it somewhere else. your friends think they're doing you a favour, elizabeth, sending a little fix. -your friends are gonna kill you. excuse me. but before you vivisect that entire little animal, there's something you ought to know. hi, sammy jo. fallon. -oh, thank you. sammy jo? well, unless you've changed your name. you're not elizabeth parker? sammy jo carrington. -and you're...? in trouble, i think. is this room 311? this is room 301. oh, boy. -oh, boy. i can't tell you how sorry i am. i thought that you were... sixteen. yeah. -and elizabeth. yeah. i'm gonna make this up to you, okay? i promise i'm gonna make this up to you. i can't wait to hear about this one. -have a chocolate. damn it, dex. i should have been told. and then what? throw a few ashtrays at sable? -look, so far, the only proof we've got is that heath is a bad businessman. we both know there's more to it than that. if we pull the plug on him now, we're not gonna find out. that woman is out to get me and she will use any means to do it. heath, hamilton stone, even you. -i don't deserve that. tell me the truth, do you find her attractive? i haven't given her much thought. well, you've spent enough time hanging around her recently. i spend a lot of time doing a lot of things, including working for you. -why are you doing this? doing what? playing these word games with me. what do you want me to say? that while you were in africa and europe running around, -i cooled out in a monastery someplace? no, i don't expect you to do that. i do understand certain things, but there's one thing i wanna know. did you sleep with my cousin? you asked me that when you got back from natumbe. -i told you, i hadn't. good. because i can forgive almost anything, except you and that unspeakable slut. this is crazy. i am crazy listening to this. -dex! well, it's about time you showed up. ah. punching time cards are we now, mr. colby, sir? these were on your secretary's desk for over a week. -i need your signature on them, as well as fallon's. well, unless your gun has a bigger bang than zorelli's, you can forget fallon. what the hell is that supposed to mean? that i doubt that you're enough of a draw to get fallon out of that cop's bed long enough to sign anything, unless it's a warrant for blake's arrest. you really are something, you know that? -what do you think, this is all a big joke? your father could go to jail. whose side are you on? is it my fault that fallon...? nothing to do with fallon, it's you. -you don't know the first damn thing about me. adam, she's your sister. she makes a mistake, you turn on her. it just seems that you love to hurt her. hurt me, hurt your father, hurt anyone. -who the hell do you think you are? let go! the minute blake got back from switzerland, you told him fallon was with that cop. it was more important to you to hurt her than to let him know how much you loved him. i'm sure you did that for both of us. -you're blake carrington's son. he needs you. start acting like it. let go. where's your loyalty? -let go! now, get out. get out! god help your family, because i think they actually love you. hello. -i'm tired of waiting. you got 24 more hours and that's it. how dare you speak to me like this. listen, lady, you said you'd get me out of here. now post my damn bail. -mr. gibson, i have been very careful never to have my name linked with yours. i have no intention of being less careful now. that js why jt's taking a i jttle time. oh, no, you're running out of time. i don't respond well to threats. -then get me out of here. i am doing my best. gibson, mr. carrington would like to talk to you. it's okay. mr. carrington cleared it with the captain. -oh, yeah? well, maybe i don't wanna talk to mr. carrington. i think that would be a mistake. who are you working for? that's a funny question. -you've been digging around delta rho, you've also been seen making a dive in my lake and i wanna know why. i don't know what you're talking about. my wife saw you there. yeah? well, from what i understand, she, uh, probably wouldn't be a very good witness right now. -now, you listen to me and you listen carefully. ease up. i only meant... you were accused of trying to murder my daughter-in-law. look, i... -you'll have to stand trial for what you did. now, i can make it easier for you or i can make it harder. now, who was hiring you? gibson, why is it that nobody's come here to try to bail you out? oh, they will, they will. -are you sure? posting bail is not that difficult. think about it. now, you're obviously trying to protect somebody that doesn't give a damn about you. all right, you let me know when you're ready to talk. -wait. sable colby. what about her? i was hired by sable colby. would you pass the pepper, please? -hi, daddy. evening. sit down, won't you, please? look, daddy, i'm sorry... not now, fallon. -i just wanted to say that... not now. missed you at the office today. doesn't surprise me. you miss a lot of things. -why don't you try the soup? we were just commenting on it. look, daddy, this is ridiculous. you know how to clear a room, don't you? drop dead. -is sable colby there, please? no. no. don't disturb her. daddy... -hello? hello? are you awake? heh. yes. -well, if it isn't mr. destructo. heh. guess i made an impression. ha, ha, are you kidding? so much stuffing on the bed when you left, it looked like thanksgiving. -where is the little bunny? oh, i yanked off his other ear and rented him out as a hat rack. ah. so is that my compensation? oh, well, uh, no. -that's my dinner. i wanted to buy you another stuffed animal, but then i got so caught up that, uh... would you believe it's in the mail? no, i wouldn't. no, neither would i. -it's been a really crazy week. it seems like all 12 of my kids have been in trouble. i supervise a project for runaways. sometimes this hospital calls me in to help out. like with elizabeth. -oh, is she gonna be okay...? ow! ow, ow. ow! what is it? -ooh, ow. oh, god. i... i... i have a cramp in my foot and i can't get it because my... -it hurts my stomach when i bend. it's my left foot, please. ow. aah. now, just relax, all right? -oh, you have strong hands. is that good? ooh, that's very good. and here. mm. -that feels great. oh. that's very good, thank you. jeff. what's going on? -here's your shake. thank you. uh, this is... well, who are you? yeah, who are you? -and why do you have my girlfriend's leg in your hand? oh, i'm tanner mcbride. we're working out a cramp. tanner and i met when he... uh... -heh. i guess you had to be there, huh? yeah. better? yes, much. -looks like you've got some company, so i'll just stop in and see you another time? anytime. thanks. oh, hey, i owed you one. what was that all about? -i leave you ten minutes and i come back and a guy is massaging your leg. oh, i had a cramp. how come you never get a cramp when i'm around? oh, but i do, jeff. in fact, i have one right now. -only it's not in my foot. i thought maybe you could use some company. okay. i could use some company. come in. -come on in. oh, come on in. it's cold. put another log on the fire. is it always so cold in here? -if you think this is bad, the railroad flat where i grew up in philly, you wake up in the morning, you could see your breath. what was that? testing the pasta. i think it needs about another 27 seconds here. if that's the way you test food here, i'm glad i wasn't over for thanksgiving. -how are you? you wanna hear about my day? i started off with some filing, okay? i went from a to r, rukowski. that was good. -then i did some phone work. you see, that was very enjoyable. i was on the nut line for, what, two and a half hours? did you know that god talks to us through our television sets? a woman in denver told me. -zorelli... and then elvis, let's see. elvis called me three times today. stop it. how about you? -did you talk to your father? my father made it very clear we have nothing to say to each other. so you figured you'd hustle your way down here, back down to the slums, huh? i came here because i wanted to see you. and i thought you wanted to see me. -do you want me to go? i don't know what i want. pasta's ready. did you eat yet? what? -did you eat yet? no, i wasn't able to. see, that's the difference between your kind of people and mine. we can always eat. blake, what a wonderful surprise. -may i get you a drink? no, thank you. is something wrong? we took you into our family. we trusted you. -you were even part of our wedding. blake, please, what is it? i saw that scuba diver, gibson, today. he told me that you sent him to delta rho. -no. does that mean that you didn't hire him? you don't understand. i know the way that it looks. i understand that you almost got sammy jo killed. -no, i didn't. you knew all along that jason and roger grimes were meeting, you told me that. you also knew you were tampering with something that could ruin us. that's not true. isn't it? -well, did you or didn't you hire gibson? yes, i did, but... and what were you looking for? oh, blake, i know what you're thinking, but... jason sent you here, didn't he? -you're fronting for him. no, i have not. if you will just listen to me, i'll explain. well, well, well, what have we here, a lovers' quarrel? get out. -when i saw you in the lobby, blake, i suspected i might find something like this. something like what? i didn't expect to hear a dreadful row. it sounded like somebody was being killed. -you know that sound, don't you, blake? you have five seconds. i simply don't believe my eyes. poor krystle on a life support, barely breathing in switzerland and her devoted husband breathing heavily down that trollop's neck. that's enough, alexis. -but you never did care about your wives, did you? you're always far too busy. i was forced into an affair with roger grimes because of your indifference. but poor krystle? she found her own way out just in time. -i'm warning you, alexis. i never thought that i would be the one to defend krystle's memory. damn it. i told you... are you going to hit me, blake, like you hit roger grimes? -i bet if you had a gun, you'd shoot me too. right at this moment, yes. yes, i would. i think i'd better go before i do something i regret. blake. -so, cousin, you see what a truly violent man blake carrington is. get out. blake may not hurt you, but i will. ho, oh. then it's a match made in heaven. -enjoy each other while you still have time. pleasant dreams, sybil. right on time. i thought you preferred meeting at the hotel. not when i'm about to take off with a half a million dollars in cash. -aren't you gonna count it? oh, i'm sure it's all there. if it's not, you won't hear from me again. simple? very. -now, what exactly am i getting for my money? yale. six years. international law. so i'd know how to break it. -ha-ha-ha. school doesn't exactly qualify one for what you're about to attempt. and being beautiful doesn't qualify one for what i'm allowing her to buy. let's get specific, mr. boyd, all right? three million dollars is a lot of money. -yeah, you're not buying helicopters and soldiers, you're buying outcome. any army man will tell you he needs security. i prefer to take it. mm. so how long have you been, uh, involved in this sort of business? -since i learned that if you don't start a war, someone else will. you seem to be a man who loves danger. does it excite you? well, many things excite me. well, i must say, you do make it all seem quite easy. -the setup is always easy. it's the execution that can blow up in our faces. ha, ha. your face, mr. boyd, your face. if this fails, i don't know you. -if this fails, nobody better know me. hmm. so how about a toast? well, you are full of surprises. that's what i'm paid for. -a present? for me? yeah. what are these? put this on. -i wanna see you put this on. fix your hair up like that. no, stop, adam. come on. it isn't like you haven't done this before. -what are you talking about? i haven't done this. okay, you want to fight a little? did you make dex fight a little before you dressed up for him? what? -don't blame dex. he never thought he'd see you again. my god, adam, what kind of man are you? just your average run-of- the-mill guy. but you? -you're the special one. madonna by day, and hooker by night. get out. get out. hey. -what...? get out. what's the matter? just get out. okay. -i'll let you think about it a while. i always wondered why dex left you on the streets. you mean that jason and sable are in this together? the man that sable hired, gibson, knew exactly where to look. first the lake, and then delta rho. -only jason could know about that. but it doesn't make sense. my father's a stubborn piece of work, but he's not self- destructive. i can't be sure of anyone right now. i want you to find jason, talk to him. -tell him that i'll meet him anytime, anywhere. what are you gonna do about sable? well, her connection to gibson will keep her quiet for now. if the police find out, she's gonna have a lot of explaining to do. i wish i could say that i was surprised by what she did, but i'm not. -i'm sorry. so am i. but my immediate concern right now is alexis. i'm sure she's ready to make her move. what are you gonna do? -whatever it takes to stop her. there must be certain things that are as precious to her as this is to me. now, i'm going to find those things and use them if i have to. who is it? it's joanna. -i hope i didn't disturb you. no, no, no. come in. are you all right? well, it hasn't been the best of days. -well, for someone who has just pulled off a multimillion dollar coup, you don't look very happy. oh, i'm happy about the ships. i came over to congratulate you. i thought you would be jumping up and down. yes, i would be, if i could be jumping up and down -on alexis colby's head. what? that woman sucks the life out of everything she touches, and then spits it out like a personal asset. she has no feelings. no respect for anyone. -my brother-in-law, cecil, made a fatal mistake. he loved her. he loved her. she killed him. she killed him. -but not before she had wrapped up everything he owned in the shirt off his back and carried it away in a body bag. i'm ashamed to call that woman cousin. i am ashamed that my family blood courses through her veins. i won't be content until i have a hammer so large it can pound alexis colby into the ground. well, you may just be in luck. -we may have the hammer. what? it's the gambling marker you asked me to get at the casino. alexis' comptroller now owes us $210,000. aly sold it to us. -now we can blackmail heath into digging up the dirt on alexis' entire operation. and if he doesn't help us bring it and alexis to their knees, we'll foreclose on his life. i've got her. i've finally got her. i think you're right. -this could be what? oh, this could be the key. highly sharp-minded, green tooth doesn't differs much of his friends mandrake, phantom and batman. aware of his superpower, green tooth with his aesthetic sense of humour distraught his enemies. "the best" -and there is lot of them, of course. favourite food of green tooth are cabbage rolls and noodles, favourite drink - pear juice. and because of all that, people like green tooth. green tooth despise glory.

what noise? -that noise! which way does that wall face? excuse me, but three inches to the left... north, towards the lake. docklands atc to uniform november niner-zero. -clear for final approach. over. roger, docklands atc, commencing approach now. we'll be landing in london shortly, sir. across the abyss, life calls to life, biomass to biomass, energy to energy. -to avallion i summon thee from beyond the confines of this universe. another storm, just what we need. stay where you are. an earthquake? doctor! -what's going on, doctor? i don't know, but i've got some nasty suspicions. an earthquake in england? no. someone is creating a rip in the fabric of time and space. -she is coming. what are you talking about? who's coming? you can feel it? yes, i'm uniquely sensitive. -god! doctor! what is it? immortal morgaine. ageless and deathless. -mordred. mother. merlin is here. yes. i can feel his presence. -he has a new countenance. he has worn many faces. merlin, hear me. i hear you. do not stand against me this time, for your soul's sake. -i cannot allow your interference. then, merlin, let this be our last battlefield. how did it go, sir? oh, usual bureaucracy. inch-thick forms and half a pint of blood. -that's london for you. funny how it looks beautiful at sunrise. never noticed. seen one heliport and you've seen them all. where now, sir? -carbury. where the action is. and you excavated all this by yourself? labour of love, really. impressive. -and i did have some help from shou yuing. and where did you find the scabbard? by that marker. how long did it take? oh, about 1 0 years so far. -ten years? archaeology is a precise and delicate skill. history has to be eased out of the earth, one painstaking layer at a time. i still think ten years is a bit of a long time. what's this? -ah, now, that's a bit of a mystery. no one's been able to decipher the carving. it says "dig hole here". extraordinary! what does it say that in? -my handwriting. ace, we need a hole. right. how long? um, 60 seconds should be long enough. -long enough for what? nothing to worry about. my young friend's something of an expert. what? in archaeology? -no, explosives. down! what? ace? i think the timer needs work. -one of these days, we're going to have a nice, long talk about acceptable safety standards. has major husak reported in yet? no, sir. london says that the area of radio interference is expanding. well, see if you can raise him from here. -well, can you speak czechoslovakian? only when i'm drunk, sir. he'd better not be gone when we get there. you cannot hold the doctor, he goes where he will. shut up and run, ancelyn. -my lady. you call me "my lady" once more and i'll break your nose. i can't see anybody around. looks like some damage to that barn. i can see a possible landing zone. -everything looks peaceful. yes. very peaceful. are you armed, lieutenant? yes, sir! -well, check it's loaded and take us in. what can you see? a flying machine. 'tis like an ornifopter but with whirling blades for wings. the people of this world are obsessed with machinery. -it would seem so. well, then. let us teach them the limitations of their technologies. malfunction, sir. what? -it felt like something hit us. this could be rough. what's down there? don't ask me. i've only been excavating this site for ten years. -with a bit of luck, a tunnel. a dark, mysterious one? probably. leading to unknown dangers? indubitably. -oh, wicked. peter, ace and i are going to investigate this tunnel. you stay here and guard it. don't let anyone come in here. what am i supposed to do? -lecture them on archaeology? yes. can you get us down? down is not the problem. it's damp. -well, we are under the lake. and this wall's made of concrete. hmm. it's gone soft with age. this was built in the eighth century. -but they didn't have concrete in those days. no, they didn't. thought so. doctor? ah, don't worry, ace. -it's only a trap. £5 million worth of aircraft and we've lost it. if they make us pay for that... we'll be poor for the rest of our lives. pulled a ligament? -good. i thought it might be something serious. i'll see if i can get some help from the village. but, sir, we don't know what the situation is here. the situation, lavel, is normal. -it doesn't get much worse than that. you know, i think i'm rather enjoying this. 'tis a shrine to those fallen in battle. so... they are not the savages you led us to believe. -you fought on their soil without proper respect for the dead. mother, i... you have dishonoured us, mordred. what is victory without honour? leave us! -what manner of man are you? a warrior no less. how goes the day? i've had better. i am morgaine. -the sun killer. dominator of the 1 3 worlds and battle queen of the s'rax. what say you? i am brigadier lethbridge-stewart. surrender now and we can avoid bloodshed. -where's the doctor? did you know that it takes one year to uncover one centimetre of a site this big? but now, delay not. "take the sword and fling him far into the middle mere. "watch what thou seeist and lightly bring me word." -ancelyn's people must have built this tunnel. looks fishy to me! this is no place for humour. professor? hmm? -where does ancelyn come from? another dimension. sideways in time from another universe. not a local boy, then? the question is, how do we get through here? -let me see if i have understood you correctly. you are holding a remembrance ceremony for the dead of our world wars. a ceasefire to remain in force for the duration of said ceremony, right? your words are strange, but that is the meaning, yes. right. -what must i do? no coded pattern? no hidden switches. well, how are we going to get through the door, then? open up, it's me. -i wish you to know that i bear you no malice. i understand. but when we meet again, i shall kill you. i refuse to ask how you did that. how did you do that? -well, it came to me that it wasn't ancelyn's people who built this tunnel. it was merlin. but everyone thinks that you're merlin. exactly. door keyed to my voice pattern. -just the sort of thing i would do. are you merlin? no, but i could be. in the future. that is, my personal future. -which could be the past. right. i'm commandeering this car, miss. sorry? the keys, please. -what? the keys. thank you. hey! just a moment. -this is my car. this is a spaceship. more than that. it's a craft for travelling between dimensions. it's more like being in some huge animal. -who built it? it wasn't built, it was grown. who grows spaceships? very advanced bio-engineers. ask a stupid question... -well, if they're grown, how do they fly? magic. oh, be feasible, professor. what is clarke's law? any advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic. -well, the reverse is true. any advanced form of magic is indistinguishable... from technology. impressive! that's arthur, king of the britons, isn't it? the legendary arthur, yes. -from another dimension. where the man was closer to the myth. but what is he doing here? not a lot. is he in suspended animation? -who knows? in eternal sleep until england's greatest need. ace, don't touch that. oh, it's all right, professor. it's not like i'm king of the britons, is it? -no, ace! gordon bennett! i hope you haven't disturbed anything. well, it disturbed me! i hope you haven't disturbed anything else. -like what? like that. look! where? i think i saw something. -over there. ace? hmm? i think it's time for plan b. we run? -yes! run! there's no way out! now is not the time to panic. doctor! -now we panic! it's some form of automated defence system, isn't it? yes. when i say run, run! not that way! -doctor, it's a dead end! hang on, ace. i'm coming. doctor! police! -run! don't run, don't run. it's lucky. throw at her. mother fucker, want to trick me -let me off. i'm under hk goverment, you are to beat me! father what are you doing here?

-how can i eat this fake, you jerk. it's real tight lately, you'd better put up with it. but you could have given me something better than this. i'm a cop, not a drug dealer. it's you who got sheiminfa back. -what are you looking at?

i know i'd be killed sooner or later for giving you information. too many informants are betraded by cops lataly. -me? you're a jerk. have ever betraded you all these years? did anybody know the clues you gave me? that's more like it. -tell me, who gave you the clue? come on. you can never trust a cop. i don't think this nam tse is reliable. we just came in, be careful, don't be taped. -is it possible? sihong, your food. thanks. this cop's not bad. sent it already. -just take your sunglasses off, that's smarter. nam tse's gift. wah tse, is nam tse smart in the station?

fear of public humiliation. and to my worthy opponents, all i can say now is: -"trick or treat, boys!" that's a wrap. and a nap. hey, deej. hey, what happened? -i won the race. all right! um, not all of him won. just his nose. what a night. -you look trashed. that's because living with michelle is a nightmare on sesame street. dad, i want my room back. no way. it was so wonderful waking up to the birds chirping instead of you blowing your nose. -whoa. girls, what happened to that beautiful hug last night?

(laughs in disbelief) -i'm not counting, but that's, what? one, two, three... i know, i know. i'm sorry. -it's just that the plan's changed. lisa was supposed to spend the night at wendy's house, but instead, wendy's gonna stay at our house. katherine. yes? -can i ask you a question? sure. why are you treating me like we're having an illicit affair instead of a relationship? -i mean, stop breaking dates with me. invite me over. it's complicated. it doesn't have to be. but it is. -you have no idea what it's like having a 14-year-old daughter. when i come home, she's wearing my lipstick. if i go on a diet, she goes on a diet. if she even thought i was sleeping with somebody, -she might think it was all right for her. look, i don't have to stay over, i can just show up. you can introduce us. maybe i'd like her. -maybe she'd like me. i know she'd like you. maybe she would come to understand that she wasn't the only one who loved you. i just think she'd get very attached to you. -but i've dated a woman with children before. they liked you? yes. do you still see them? no. -no, not since i stopped seeing their mother. that's my point. i can't do that to her. she's not ready for that. (sighs) -you know, i think it's you that isn't ready. lisa: he's here. good. -i'll go ring his bell and tell him his future wife has arrived. just kidding. wendy: so anyway, all through the movie -i keep looking over at him to see if he's gonna try anything -- he's actually watching the movie. i couldn't believe it. so i figure he'll do it later. -we leave, he drives me home, pulls up in front of my house, and he actually starts talking. i couldn't believe it. but i'm still waiting for the big move. -so finally, he walks me up to my door. what happened? he just kissed me on the cheek and said good night. wendy, there he is. -that's him? god, he's gorgeous! what's he doing wearing a tuxedo in the middle of the day? who knows? -let's follow him. how the hell are we supposed to get a picture? lisa: maybe he's late for something. an affair. -modeling assignment. (horn honks) come on, let's get a closer look! no, no! he'll recognize me! -no! come on! excuse me! he's not a model, he's a waiter. he's not a waiter, he runs the place. -maybe he even owns it! i.a.x., american airlines flight information, please. thanks.

(click) (beep) (sighs) -i'm as normal as anyone else. of course i want someone in my life, it's just a matter of finding the right person. but you don't even try, you just push men away. -that's not true -- i-i have been trying. so that's why you're on birth control pills -- hoping to get lucky. lisa, that is my private business. so what? -you stick your nose into my private business all the time. you butt into my room whenever you want. i'm your mother. it's my right. -there is a diff-- there is a difference between us, you know -- we are not the same.

(sighs) (sniffling) oh, so you are open this weekend. sarah: -uh-huh. hi, guy. oh, hi, kath. i do everything she says, and she still punishes me. i'm gonna sleep with every guy i ever think is cute. -well, uh, just stay away from nick. i might even sleep with richard. i'm gonna sneak out and i'm gonna see him. lisa, don't be crazy. okay? -wendy's dad: do you see 'em, ralph? there they are! look, everything's gonna be fine. you two will work it out. -no, we won't. it'll never be the same after what i said to her. come on, jerkos! dad's waiting! come on, i'll give you a ride home. -i don't wanna go home yet. well, then, where are you gonna go? come on. you are coming with us. girls, come on. -lisa, are you packed? i hope you're packed. dad: i want to get on the road before we hit traffic. let's go! -ralph: are you twerps coming or not?

no, thank you. where did you know jack? -oh, we spent some time together at belburg. oh, "hell's toilet." yeah. i was one of the guys liberated it, you know. yeah. i know. -you don't look old enough to be a wwii vet. let's just say i've been well-preserved. is this your unit? yeah. yeah. -seven guys from five countries. crack commandos. we captured this nazi scientist. he was doing experiments on pows. horst mueller. -ah, we should have killed that evil bastard. guys like that don't deserve to live, even in prison. that's me there. the good-looking one. bet you can't pick out marshak. -that's right. that's him. you know he got a medal that night? really? yeah. -that's me and shaw, caruthers, ivanovitch, simpson and frenchy leroux. not many of us left. no, there aren't. reporting for duty, captain marshak. -present and accounted for, sir. shaw. simpson. you old bastard. it's been a lot of years. -been a long time, captain. we should be meeting under better circumstances. you ready for the funeral? i'm not going. why not? -i just don't want to. jack, when we shot our way into belburg, it was lefty led us in. if it wasn't for him... look, i don't want to go, all right? jack, you got to. -why? what good is it going to do seeing lefty in his coffin? jack, we're getting old. all we can do for each other now is to see that we get buried right. here's to you, lefty. -what's that stuff, lighter fluid? it's the same stuff we drank in the foxhole. you going soft on me? why would anyone kill lefty? or caruthers. -caruthers? yeah, somebody murdered him, too. how? i don't know. jack, what are you doing? -my god. look at this wound. jack, he's been strangled. for god's sake. no, you can't, my friend, but you can't be bullied either. -maybe, if we made an example of one of these tin-pot dictators, took his country away from him, people might not be so quick to make trouble for us. what a jerk. makes you wonder why we fought the big one. hmm. kind of makes you think, though. -hmm. hey, i'm not saying we should go in and blow these little countries off the map, but we sure as hell deserve a lot more respect than we're getting. come on, jack. let's do some drinking. this is supposed to be a wake. -didn't lefty have a 20 game season in triple a? only problem is, it was three and 17. to hear him tell it, he would have made the world forget cy young. i just called the veterans administration. ivanovitch and leroux are dead as well. -i want to know if they were murdered, too. barbed wire is how the butcher killed. jack, the butcher is dead. i dreamt about him the night that lefty was strangled. a week hasn't passed where i haven't had a nightmare about the war. -this was real. i was back there about to die. oh, god... where am i sleeping? don't be ridiculous. -i'll be fine. you need a friend around you, marshak. i can stay a few days. shaw... look, you're not getting rid of me until you shake this thing. -micki and ryan are out of town. so take micki's room, it's at the head of the stairs. don't be so damn morose, jack. we all die sometime. we don't all get murdered, do we? -let's get some shut-eye. a few days with me and you'll be out of the dumps. shaw, thanks. i hope you still feel the same way tomorrow because you're gonna have a hell of a hangover. simpson... -easy, jack, easy. easy. you were screaming like someone was killing you. jack marshak, yes. ah, thank you. -who was that? courier from the veterans administration. coffee's over there if you want it. oh, my god. what is it? -ivanovitch and leroux were both murdered in europe. and they were strangled, just like lefty and caruthers. i can't believe it. when did this happen? within the year. -all since i've been having these dreams. oh, snap out of it, jack. mueller's rotting in some german jail and rausch is dead. i wish i could believe it. mueller was experimenting with reanimation, shaw. -the bodies in that lab that were cryogenically frozen. what are you saying? that he froze rausch before we captured him? he had time. don't be ridiculous! -stranger things have happened. not in my lifetime. just listen to yourself, jack. nobody comes back from the dead. now, i don't know who's doing this, but it's not some phantom from our past. -you can't sterilize people because they're mentally ill. sterilizing people in mental hospitals is an american idea, my friend. it was very popular before world war ii. are you suggesting to me that american doctors would do something like that without giving it a lot of thought? well, no, but that doesn't make it right. -of course they thought about it. and so should you. and while you're at it, why don't you think about those people out there spreading sexual diseases. maybe it would stop them. hey, don't get me onto that subject, karl. -well, i'm going to... tomorrow night. that's all the time we have. tomorrow, an epidemic is sweeping across the land. a disease without a cure. i want to know what you'd do to stop it. -think about it, and tomorrow i'll tell you my solution. this is karl stiener. thank you for listening, america. you have the uncanny ability to make the most radical ideas sound acceptable to the common man. you make it sound as if i'm trying to deceive them. -people aren't that stupid. the reason they tune me in is because i tell them the truth. you've become a major influence over the past year, yet people seem to know very little about you. tell me about your past. i'm much more interested in the future. -you're on the cover of newsmaker this month. and they're saying that your days in radio are numbered... that your future is in politics. rausch. let's just say i intend to keep reaching the citizens of this country with my message. -you'll have to excuse me. one more thing, karl, just what is your message? we must restore this country to a position of power. let the weak, the lazy, the uneducated get out of the way. nein! -jack, you're making me nervous. you should be nervous. he's trying to kill us. the butcher isn't hunting us. he can't be. -all right, then you tell me what's happening. look, i'll admit that mueller was into some pretty weird things. but he didn't know how to raise the dead. i wouldn't be too sure. i haven't opened this since the war. -what the hell is this stuff? things i collected in europe. this... is mueller's diary. diary? look at that. -it's just a swastika. yes, but the surrounding circle makes it a symbol for the thule society. come again? the thule society was an ancient teutonic group of alchemists and warlocks. they believed they could grant ten centuries of life. -you're not making any sense. i'm trying to tell you that mueller used thule secrets to bring rausch back to life. do you expect me to believe that? look, jack, you need some sleep, right now. i'm phoning simpson. -he should be with us. good idea. he may talk some sense into you. you are listening to a re-broadcast of the karl stiener show. no phone calls please. -karl stiener. what do you think? i think you're a racist pig. listen, i don't have anything against anybody if they're productive. but let's face it, some people use aspiring to impossible heights as an excuse to go on welfare. -they think "if i can't be kareem abdul-jabbar, i'll sell crack till i get a break." what an idiot. you know something? if this conversation was in person, i'd be real tempted to rearrange your face. -should have been here two hours ago. where the hell is he? curious goods. marshak. oh, god. -we found him slumped over the wheel of his car. we think he was strangled with a piece of piano wire. we're still trying to figure out what caused these puncture marks. barbed wire. could be. -rausch can't be alive. it isn't possible. you'd be surprised at the things that are possible. the thule society was feared throughout medieval europe, very powerful wizards said to have learned their secrets from the ancient norse gods. jack, i can't believe this sort of thing can happen. -i can, and it did. they infused their powers in silver amulets which could seek out their enemies, communicate over great distances and raise the dead. rausch would have been an ideal candidate. he was one of hitler's favorites... an intelligent... dangerous, powerful man. -and mueller has such an amulet? yes, he does. but he's been in prison since the night we grabbed him. there's no way that mueller could resurrect rausch without it. so he got it, or someone got it for him. -overseas operator? i want to place a call to west germany. yes, to the warden of the allied military prison in berlin. thank you, i'll hold. i know it isn't a very popular view to hold these days, but, uh, the simple facts of life are that this country's being held back by deadbeats living on welfare, food stamps and medicare handouts. -the people who work for a living are being bled dry. you're right, karl. you're absolutely right. you know, i paid a fortune in taxes this year and what did i get for it? i ask you. -buying yachts, while people in this country... of course, herr mueller is in custody, mr. marshak, but regulations strictly forbid him receiving phone calls or uncensored mail. warden, i've got to speak to him. then you'll have to come here. okay, then i'll be on the next plane. -jack, you're in no shape to... yeah, well... when can i see him? whenever you arrive, but you will need a security clearance. it has been required since his escape. -mueller escaped? a year ago. he got across the wall, but the east german police caught him the next day. oh, my god. why aren't you ready? -the plane leaves in just over an hour. i saw enough of germany in '45. i'm not going. you can't stay here by yourself. i never ran away from anybody, jack. -i'm not starting now. we're not running away. we're staying together until this thing's over. look, if you're alone, he has a chance of picking you off, just like he did the others. i'm not going. -well, then you'll be a sitting duck. lefty and simpson didn't know what hit them. i'll be watching for the bastard. this... saw me through europe. keep it close. -here. don't worry, jack. i can take care of myself. yeah. you're the only troops that i've got now. -got a plane to catch. these are in order, mr. marshak. all right. please have a seat. i'll get a guard to escort you to herr mueller's cell. -ja, bitte schön. die, you bastard! oh, my god. hey, yeah, yeah. can you, uh, give me an overseas operator, please. -i've been expecting you. i'm so glad you could make it. why are you killing my friends? your friends are dying halfway across the world. what have i got to do with it? -where's the butcher? isn't he in his grave? you know damn well he isn't. mmm... how can that be? -you killed him, didn't you? isn't that why they gave you all those medals? i killed him, all right. you brought him back. you don't look rested. -are you having trouble sleeping? too many... unsettling dreams? what's it like to be hunted, jack? what's it like to know that he's after you even in your dreams? why did you bring him back? -for the reich to be reborn. rausch will fail in his mission. shaw will be waiting for him. your friend is already dead, jack. you're lying. -you fell asleep a few moments ago, didn't you? you bastard. you don't know how happy i am to share this moment with you. i'll kill you, mueller! 45 years i've waited for this day. -now everyone who put me in here is dead, except you, jack. i wanted you saved for the last. go on, jack. take it to him. he's been waiting to meet you for a very long time. -we were the master race, burying the weak, the purposeless, the malformed... purifying the world! we are still the master race! we will rise again! d d rausch, it's you. -i'm telling you, karl, i've had enough. i think we should put every one of these on a slow boat to china. when the boat arrives, nuke china. that may not be such a bad idea. thank you for calling. -karl stiener. you're on the air. right on, karl. damn it, i'm mad, and i want to do something about it, just like you. i'm behind you, man. -karl stiener. you're on the air. well, you're absolutely right on this issue, karl. hey, these bleeding hearts are killing us. maybe we better, uh, start killing them. -mr. stiener. something wrong? karl! karl! well, uh, looks like i'm out of time. -as you know, this is my last broadcast. now, some of you may have heard that i'm throwing my hat into the political arena. well, that's true. so you and i are gonna keep on talking, only not on the radio. i'm gonna need your help for what i have planned. -and i think you know what that is. i know what you're thinking. this is karl stiener. thank you for listening, america. reporting for duty, captain. -all present and accounted for. you old bastard. pull yourself together, man. damn it. i've waited half a century to spill your blood, -marshak. you have something i want. give it to me now, and i promise you a quick death. now i am invincible. at last, the amulet is complete. -go ahead. you can't escape me, marshak. i have a thousand years to find you. you can't kill me, marshak! i'm immortal! -we're getting old, jack. all we can do for each other now is to see that we get buried right. we were the master race, burying the weak, the purposeless, the malformed, purifying the world. we are still the master race! we will rise again! -we are the master race! we will rise again! we are the master race! we will rise again! we are the master race! -we will rise again! the girl of 15 prologue: i do is the desire of thomas ... although not ask me to do so. -he has not called my mother. or perhaps they do not tell me anything deliberately, out of envy. you can not have him. if not booked, find no place. do not worry. -i hate to leave, makes me uneasy. i'm afraid to let me run. you'll see, you may go without me. i'll call to remind them. you may not like your father and gets his hand dated. -no, i would have noticed. or maybe you like it too and that gives me more nauseous. i'm going to see my mother. are you going home to your father? no, i will go tomorrow. -hello, sorry to bother you, are you thomas? i do not think that coming today. but if you think it will happen, can expect. sit down. i'd rather stand. -everyone says that you can trust but he has not called my mother ... i have not had time. if you want your child to you alone ... ask is a mess to look after him as an old. -just what would my mother. do you really want to go? yes, but i will not call not knowing where to go. we could go to an island in britain. no, it's very cold, we can not bathe. -'my father told me about formentera. it was fashionable 20 years ago. yes, with the hippies, but now will be fine. surely there is only rednecks. i was given directions to call. -on saturdays there is direct flight. glad to meet you. and me. even if you are angry with you. but i will if you believe in what my mother. -if thomas was not me not bear it. i do not like the words of feelings. i can not say, "feel" "emotions" scares me. and i can not explain well i thomas, but i want to go with them. i'm going, can thomas. -will not you wait? do not tell that i came, or that he waited, he would kill me. would be right. i want to go with thomas and agree to go with you. and if you insist, is by thomas. -what i do is the desire of thomas but do not ask me to do so. goodbye! i have a comment on friday. luckily i do not know what to say. do you stay the night? -no. but we can go to bed an hour. have your parents too stuck in your head. we should be closer together. if not, it is better to be alone. -wake me if i fall asleep. i'm calling because i have. my mother can not refuse, and as no known it is better to pick me up. will not have to stay. in addition, she would not like. -why? my mother is a real woman. and then what? after pick. i will see my father. -i'll walk. ¿i do not like? yes, sure, it is rather a child. not a man, not like it. that has long ceased to be a girl. -never should have been. enter the address, sunday at two. i have not eaten and i drank a little. a glass and i spark. unable to get small ate, my father tried everything. -to put on a gown distract and a hat with a feather. but just got scared, hated the costumes. i ate nothing and leaving the cole i bought a slice of ham. a few days eating only lean and others, only fat. never both together. -i am very unsociable. when i love someone first feel disgust, much disgust. a monumental disgust for everything. then i often do. usually to get attention. -i'm afraid to go unnoticed. i worry about a thing. not likely. do i look like a boy or a man? as a boy. -i hope so! if you are one, it is forever. well, depends on people and their ideas. you have to run. will you call me to see when we go? -maybe before. i can say that you've seen? yes, i was for my mother. are you sure you want to come? yes, apparently not called. -he could have done it. you promised, by his mother. i wanted to be sure. you are never sure of anything. what did you want to be sure? -your girlfriend worries me. are you afraid? i do not know what it is there. i ... and you two. do not know why you're together. -perhaps on. is that's what you're insurance? furthermore, it is indiscreet. i know. do not expect an answer, i was asking myself, not you. -the girls of my age i get bored. she's the same. those of age or older only think about sex. in addition, she is just like a boy. but better. -i've said too much. i'm going to smoke, i'm nervous. you can, but lucky smoked without a filter. for cómpramelos. i'll buy craven, the package is nice. -and keep me stupid questions. sorry. do you have homework? yes, i will at home mom. last night soe your father was dead. -that was old and died, a strange sensation! you should call him. i have to tell you three things but i do not remember the order, it was logical. expected to think. you have to steal the best of people, what they have in mind. -that, first. 2e: if you start something, you reach the end. though not sure at first. the end must be beautiful. it is necessary. -it may not be clear, i have it clear and i can not be clearer. 3e: i'm afraid your father. i do not know how to say it, but ... do not do it because "you do not know how." -it is also ironic. sarcastic. what is the difference? sarcastic is against others. regarding sleep, i have spoken with him, seemed to be alive, would you call? -is that sarcastic? yes. do not call my mother for hours. 'i saw the bills. all three? -today you are heavy, right? i'm going. you call me? i do not call but you have to call my mother. do you banaras? -yes. with swimsuit and that, sure? yes, if no one. where did you buy? i will ask my uncle, just think about clothes. -you call me? do you call me? yes. 1st day: it is forbidden to look at me so. especially if you are. -the house is common but this is great. it is really nice. the sea! yes. the sea is truly magnificent. -completely blue. with the sun changes color continuously. here he lived in exile a saint. he founded the carmelite missionaries. six years later, went on missions. -from the inside out, thomas. always. is there a great distance to swim? 500 meters. i advise, currents are very strong. -and what the holy living? in velra was always freshwater and rabbits. you have to like the rabbit and i do not like. will any good? yes. -i left the pool as requested. okay, i hate swimming. can you get on the terrace? yes, inside. take the car keys, documentation is inside. -my room. yours. and your father. and up there on the terrace. what did your father on the plane? -nothing. he seemed happy to leave. are not we looking at? no, i looked at you. not in a pushy, but i looked. -do not look at me with insistence? no. sneaking ¿? no, not pushy or furtively. then carefully. -so i looked. let him with his eyes, that happens. no, no way, and not looking at you. it's disgusting to note above look unclean. makes everything nasty. -even to us, if you do nothing. you are under your surveillance. and what do you think, i think so. do not get nervous. are we going to swim? -yes. not bad. with one hand. 'i'll dislodge the jaw. wait. -it's like if you did so ... see? see how easy it is. it's great! i hurt my throat! -i do not like dark skin, i prefer transparent. the black goes with blond streaks, as my mother's friends. unfortunately, i tan quickly. and luckily, i will soon. are you coming? -are you coming? we're going. i know what you'll say, i disagree. 'i do not care what the looks. like not looking at you. -yes, when i looked at had in his eyes look like a mirror. it's like bathing. you can do it naked if nobody looks at you. but if someone looks at you, even in swimsuit, is uncomfortable. it is forbidden to look at me like that. -on however, if you are, you should see it. i have to get rid of your eyes. simply look at me, is very clever. if i let myself is that i am a wimp. exaggerate a lot, is a pain. -you always want we say it like it is. they say what happens. and i try, because i admire that in you. stay away, period, be together. tomorrow we go to the island, nobody will look. -spend the day without it. can you put it down? do not like? no. makes you want to mourn although there is no desire. -when will you stop looking at me? not you who interests me but your age. and i do not care your age, is pretty nasty. i am interested in your age so it produces: speed of execution in the phrase, feelings and how they spend for your face. -very fast and very visibly. but what we often say is not predictable. as if you were younger. i do not know how it preserves and how you got in that state. do not forget your sense of joy, as there is the humor. -you are happier, so you're better. thomas is simpler than you its aim is to make me say: "ah, yes!" makes it impossible to say, and is content. -they also say it well: "oh, no!" with so much enthusiasm! only the final fall with respect to: "ah, yes!" it is very convenient. -i never told: "oh, no!" since you arrived say it your way. without pronouncing, but i hear very well. yes, really. that's funny. -i like to read i do not like when you read. are you angry? do you have grounds? protect or feel my motives. let's play. -the test is to seduce the father and make him fall to get rid of it. by day, pretend that nothing happens. and at night, everything is dangerous. i love you. neither brother nor sister, more than that. -2e day: thomas and i we decided ... anything. do not do anything annoy you all. room service. room service. -this morning i am drawn for perfection in the world. i know it will not last but i can not say otherwise. you're quite right. at your age, you feel good almost every morning. you do not understand the scope my metaphysical reflection. -no, not metaphysical. but if you think today the world is nice, i trust you. as you do not usually like anything, i think. 'but not for long, of course. 'of course. -i hope. i drove to the tip? no, not necessary. good luck. sure you do not want to come? -i do not think it comes, but i want to be with you. there is hardly 500 meters. it is too far. i promise i will not leave you, we drown together. come! -no, i'm afraid. i can not resist. i love you nonetheless. what counts is not the swimmer. if you go, up the clothes. -forget the picnic! what? i chickened out. not even i expected to see him go. i was so far away, no longer saw him. -it was just a speck in the sea. if something happens, you can not tell. no need to worry. i trust him too much. i have not done the right thing, i had to stop him. -and now i have fear. fear not, thomas would not like. thomas i's room. can not sleep? no. -are you better? 'not much. tell me a story about thomas. with 4 years asked me to take off ruedin of the bike. i refused, i was afraid that hurt. -his mother was so insistent that i relented. it was mounted and, as if it had life. accused him of having tried with a friend, but no. he had awakened saying "i know cycling," and it was true. he was right. -schlafmütze kleine, i thomas, to return it to the track. i've been sleeping. if you sleep well, anything can happen. yes it is far thomas nothing but good. -there is no danger. there is no point staying here. yes, better to wait at home. you're right, you may have arrived. yes. -what does it mean "kleine schlafmüze"? the little sleeper. how beautiful! thomas and i have decided nothing ... do not do anything annoy you all. -then we'll see. if this is as with others, would be terrible. i do not think. although i also think i do not care. if you do not want the boy, sure it does not affect me. -i do not like guys servile. the guys i met 14 years were wild and independent. at 16, they are not savages. it's a difficult age. start thinking about sex and they violently tickled. -then is the same. as they begin thinking about sex ... when i met thomas not think about it. thinking without thinking. i can not explain, is much nicer. -think you do not think about it but it does. yademás may be jealous. to turn a guy jealous have to count to 100. come, he says. a, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ... -one, two, three, four, five ... the island was worthless, there was not a bird. only beer cans and rabbits could have caught the ears as carrots. i should bring one. i was only an hour because i saw an old tower you only see from there and went up to her. -and it was very nice. and now you're hungry. yes. well. you're a pig, a savage. -i missed you. and i love you. do you feel you do not like the others? we are not like others. if we start, we are ready. -the idea that you can be a boy like the others ... it need not be difficult, if a test is absurd. today i want to sleep with you. but sleep in your bed. get out. -this evening not jog around the house? no, i will not mouse. i've bundled a fresh cigar. do you see anyone? do you think you need to pimp? -here, for the road. when we leave miss home. you think so? good night. good night. -3rd day: the pledge is to seduce your father to fall and get rid of it ... especially if you want. i understand that he is dead but can not spend the day sleeping. when i was 14 years was in love with a girl of 15. i just wanted to be in love, never kissed her. -it would have been terrible. i went on for years, and was to last, was made for that. i do not think knowing. i saw her every sunday. i knew until the registration his father's car. -in the winter had a red leather coat, and a green scarf. their number was: nation 5876. he circled the booths and sometimes entered. ever called for nonsense. -the excuse was mediocre, but then was so happy. i think i'm in love with you. i think i love him. i understand. but still have to prove it. -do you fall? i think i'm in love with you. i do not love him. i think i'm in love with you. i do not love him. -before we said it all now with your father, everything is bundled. what, again with the looks? there are looks and words. and what it says when you're not. we will put a garment. -what? like when you play and lose. a garment is to take another game. and even if he made a silly, why go? also, what game? -no need to invent a garment. no i have to settle the score with my father. last night i said: "the pledge is to seduce to fall and get rid of him. " especially if you want. -do not you remember, of course, sleeping. it is not something against him, but for us to be one. when we fight, we are two people. i do to keep us apart. no, it's an idea sordid. -i disagree. you asshole! i will not sleep with him, i just want him dizzy. with a full circle, not average. so we will not part. -and what matters is the end, it must be nice. i do not think of anything else. i disagree. what are you doing? i do not know. -perhaps to give a return to the city. want to tell me something? of course not. removing all this. i've never spoken of love. -and i've never kissed. for me it has been with the agency. will try with it. jules! i'm here! -now you're into german? it's a nice language to hear. what does "schlafen"? small? no, "sleep". -o "sleeper", right? and "mütze" is "small"? no, that's "kleine". why? 'no, no. -'i can see. not worth it. "hat"! if you are going to "sleep" means "nightcap." what is this the "nightcap"? -were you to ask one of my father? you gill! perhaps the person who wears it. yes, that will be. intentaré get you one. -but this is not bad. she wears a sexy red dress. he looks. "what do you think?" she says. "i have a cold." he says ... -"the nights are warm." "you want my jersey?" he speaks to us. he says: "they are equal, without actually being so. " "they have the same grace, the same outside. " -if not a freak of beauty understand nothing of what he says. the girl manages to ... the woman! for the lead the house by the sea. here? -no. he thinks he should tell things from your childhood for her to fall. things a bit poetic. these two are beginning to show a bit of disgust. i'd rather not talk of us. -if you bring it, is that it a heart of stone. do you prefer in the car or naked on the beach? i prefer silence to hear bullshit. i hope this is it which is naked. run, do not realize the ridiculous, everything moves, not a pretty sight. -even he must laugh. well, what do we do? do we bathe? yes. as your father is not, no top. -we're good. perfectly fine. i think it's perfect. as the landscape. yes. -i do not like those rocks. if you lived here, send throw. i live happy here all year, with you. it's too hard, scary. it is far from perfect! -only my belly button is. ensñamelo, with the suit is never seen. is only half on purpose. anyway, ensñamelo. the beauty, i hide. -a belly button is not taught to anyone. i'll show you later. i am not either. what is so special? that is beautiful! -it looks like a tear. it's nice, huh? it is transparent, almost invisible. sure has not gone to see to the agency. what if no, what's he doing? -i do not know. you want out? has he kissed? who should have kissed? anyway, i hate you. -you think it's a kind meet someone like you? go to sleep. and you, go to sleep? not right now. i'm not very friendly the bogeyman. -better. people do not like daytime i prefer the night. 4e day: i have become las a girl like others. i do not see the difference ... -is right. do not eat breakfast? no, later. do we eat in the restaurant? vale. -i am not ashamed what happens to you. i never behaved worse with thomas. i know you do not like me a dirty way. i mean, a nice way. he was also well-1e. -this is a mess for thomas. although against him can not do anything. when all we want them all ... do you come to swim? no, i'm staying. -why not come to see me this morning? i thought that the garment is a good idea. you were right with the looks and stuff. if you find disgusting then, without mercy. tidal completely not half. -although in danger can not happen at all. no one can harm us. can you leave me alone? what's the matter? the agency ... -well. what i like about here is to be sitting. at home and standing is much more practical. so fast low not get fat. this will also have three dishes. -it would be better to eat all the same. i agree. then we see at home. if you are honest, not to worry. i'll be there at six o'clock. -when you want to tell me, tell me. 'nobody can separate us. 'tell me at six. do not talk about it, not like you. you make it impossible live with it. -you are all dangerous. no sense of beauty not worth living. and your taste for perfection is morbid. what time is it? the four. -i have become a girl like the others. i do not see the difference. he's right. the four and ten. you did well cambiándote dress, i prefer it. -i hate those who not contain their desires. ¿"to those who"? so i'm not alone? do you also include you? i do not like the lexicon of feelings. -do not put me on that. however, you said the word "desire." and it can lead to feeling. and as animal. but no sooner pronounced, silently articulated the word "love" -can you say it? if there is a disgusting expression is: "making love". "fuck" ok, but "making love" and also not done. yesa forbidden word, -are you entangled in the brain or are you stuck in your mouth? it depends for whom. for me, for example? while true, i would not tell her. so bad it yourself? -i'm surprised. i think one of their qualities is honesty. talk about feelings but you a seducer, a pig. we are all pigs. ¿i can get a reading? -is not it obscene that: "a reading"? i think not. if you plan to hold until he returns, should raise of the conversation. come back at six o'clock. -do not think you are important to me. do not believe it. i do not believe anything. i was always ready for anything i wanted to. he feared that the boys i wanted to. -i thought, "if i do that, i do not want. " i'm so afraid that i do not want. i may not like, do not know ... mounts fuss about that. when i was asked to do once accepted. -but several, no. he did it to say it was for them. while i would like or pretend to love me ... it was for them but i did not care. at first, i was so disgusted idea to fuck. -then he accepted, but never more than once. thomas feared that it would as with others. we decided that between us there would be nothing unusual. he does not believe a guy and i do not take me for a girl. the 1st time i did it with a guy, -i rejected my femininity. it was not his fault. i cut my hair, i wanted to be a boy. it's much better to be a boy. now i know i can not change. -it sucks being a girl. how are you? do you? super great. not funny. -well, what? wasting your time, nothing will happen. do not pass anything else? it will not be anything else. i'm not used these "nothing" to you. -it has become more important what i wanted but will not last. because i hate you for it.

i why staring like that? you are naughty ti -how are you? fine we're tit for tat yesterday it rained a bit, today as well, but not for long. from now on, i'll write from hvar. -i don't know yet where i'll be staying. i'd like so much to hear from you. postcards i sent you a telegraph this morning and i hope you, too, got home well and healthy and that everything is fine. i travelled confortably to dubrovnik but not as well as to sarajevo. -the train was noisy, shaking terribly. don't write to me up here. i'll telegraph you my address again. my darling hubby dubrovnik is beautiful and we are having a wonderful time here. -i thought we'd find some mail here - but nothing. too bad! tomorrow we're leaving early for split, and on wednesday evening we'll arrive at plitvice. come and we'll spend the whole thursday together... sweatheart, i'm so stupid: -every day i expect a word from you although i know it's impossible i could have received it even if you had responded on wednesday at once. i know you were tired from travelling, that our home is a mess and that you have a hard time writing. this immense beauty awakens all senses in me so that i miss you a lot here. today, before departure i was on the small island lokrum, not far from dubrovnik. a monastery, built there in 1020, was almost completely destroyed during an earthquake in the 17th century. -later, maximilian of habsburg built himself a palace there and arranged a sub-tropical park. it didn't bring him much luck either and the island is still believed to bring bad luck. the weather is pretty good here, sunny and pleasant. it was windy this morning but now, in the evening, it's really pleasant. i'm sitting on a wonderful terrace after dinner, listening to the music far away, looking at the sea - only here and there a small light can be seen sliding away... -it's beautiful. but it would be even more if you were with me. here no one is alone... i think of you today and yesterday and tomorrow. what are you doing, how do you feel at home and all. -this morning i dreamt of you, you were nice and you said you only came to say hello, but that you had to return immediately to the factory. ane, please write me a few lines so that i will get them when i return. will you? you will make me very happy. sweet good night and many warm kisses from your mia. -mia and ane velickovic karlovac, the podrinec factory mister aleksander velickovic, the manager of the factory mrs. mia velickovic, the shoe factory when all work is done, we'll also come here together with a lot of love and happiness in our hearts. not for long because i'd like to visit all these islands with you, all this places of old fame, even those -i haven't seen yet, from montenegro coast up to susak. would you like that, dear? we'll work and save especially for this purpose and then there will have to be at least once enough vacation for you, too, when now for years it can't be even one day. i wish you good health and be as peaceful and happy as i am. thousand sweet kisses. -i hug you and warmly kiss your gentle little eyes. your mia. it seems to me that i'm much better when i'm next to the sea. i wish you were here with me so i could prove it to you. today is tuesday, the weather is getting worse. -the sea is rough, the wind is blowing, but the sun is still very hot. even this must be, the end of october is here! with a sincere wish that you'll once enjoy yourself like i do now, unconcerned and peaceful. god, already 5 days have passed since i saw you last. quickly passes what is only for us... -will i finally get some mail from you before sunday? i hope so! for now bye-bye, my dearest, good night and rest sweetly every night. loves you, hugs you and faithfully thinks of you only, your beloved wife. i'm leaving for the island of hvar tomorrow. -the ticket costs 231 dinars, expensive, isn't it? in general i've spent a lot of money! this evening i bought a pair of shoes, pretty beautiful and good. i took the lacquer ones for repair. -some stupid shoemaker said they couldn't be repaired. i was ashamed and angry. i didn't search any longer; i hope i'll have more luck on hvar. from a park, through the branches, the franciscan monastery can be seen, my eldorado... -if i were a man, i'd take vows at once just so i could stay here. after their stay on hvar, they sent a 150 kg bell as a gift to a monastery. they wrote that they wouldn't and couldn't ever forget this madonna. greek inscription calls here: -the hope of the hopeless. the icon is so beautiful that it really can't be forgotten. there are paintings by famous painters, there is a tomb of a poet hanibal lucic, there is a miraculous beauty. a painting from the church - maybe it doesn't show here, but if you saw it the way i did i saw the expression of unsurpassable mother's pain on the face of madonna, standing under the cross. -every line is so delicately shaded - but differently than the pain of maria magdalena. i can't describe it - you should have been here to see it yourself. but most importantly - i was standing as if struck by lightening i couldn't move a bit. in the reflectorium of the monastery is a painting by matteo roselli: -"the last supper." i saw the painting by leonardo da vinci, but such a powerful impression, such an elation didn't take me over then. this colours, these expressions, and then in this ambience. imagine a huge dining room with narrow tables on both sides and on the entire front-wall a painting, not a painting but living figures in natural size. jesus said: "one of you shall betray me", and then blesses st. john. the other disciples asking each other: -"who, who shall betray jesus?" you don't see that, you hear it, a secret question of horror is murmuring out of the painting: "who, who shall be the traitor! ?" he came to hvar and asked for shelter which no one wanted to give him. wondering, he came to the franciscans. -they received him and took care of him for 6 months, until he completely recovered. to show his gratitude he painted this masterpiece and thus richly rewarded hospitality and care. ane, i am elated. there are other paintings but that one surpasses them all. it's so powerful, so truthful. -maybe now i understand for the first time why the works of the old masters are so valued. i walk a lot, i sit in the sun and i'm relaxing on the fresh air all day. my watch stopped, i didn't wind it up, letting the time go the way it wants. to me, these days will never be lost, never. and for this, my dear, i have to thank you. -your caressing touched my soul so deeply. i feel so much i'm your child that i can't grow older. we must always stay young for each other. if god didn't give us children to spoil and to make us happy, then it depends on us to chase away dark clouds and gloomy days in our lives, that would diminish beauty and satisfaction. -besides the football scandal, i hope you don't worry about anything too much. and don't! everything will still be all right and well. the business can't fall in two days except if everything we believe in would collapse at once; and then it doesn't matter anyway. -and your "yugoslavia" will yet take revenge on the zagreb dandies! every day has its day! stay healthy and peaceful, my darling hubby, but above all be happy and well. and dear, what are you doing in the evenings? -you don't write me at all. do you go to a caf? or maybe to the movies? you completely ignored my threats without saying anything! ? -i love you, my dearest, i hug and kiss you all over. i kiss your sweet little eyes and i'm all yours, mia. my dear ane, i wanted to write you this postcard up on the hill where i was today. but the wind was so strong that i couldn't. the walk was fine. -i was at some little church and on the fortress and all around the hill. i found a few more postcards for you. i think the mail doesn't leave hvar today so you won't even get my yesterday's letter that soon. but i'd like my letters to be sent to you as fast as on the radio. even this will be possible in some 1000 years! -i'm walking on this bare and rocky land which is also a little piece of my home country, dear and familiar. i'm walking and i'm thinking how many ages have passed through them; how much sorrow, fame, greatness and poverty! the city walls have been standing for hundreds of years, protecting princes, gentlemen, protecting even the poor, only life itself for a poor man since he hasn't anything else. today they are only the pride and wonder upon wonders. people come from all parts of the world, they admire the sea, rocks fortness. -do they realize in their souls, as deeply as they should, all that has happened in these places throughout the centuries? do they understand? dear ane. yesterday at noon i already received your postcard from belgrade but not your promised letter. as you know already, if i don't get a new room, -i'll leave at once. i'll keep you informed about this. on the postcard you see the agaves. they bloom only once and when they fade away, they die - "like those ones from the tribe of asra, who die when they are loving." -strange is the world and beautiful. i hope that men are better at writing, that's why i ask you to tell me some news. we swim here every day in the sea. it's very nice and pleasant to be in the company of delphins, a kind a fish you surely know. lots of love, mia. -the corso of danube. a memory from 1st of january 1944 roman-catholic church. a memory from 1st of january 1944. ship berth. -a memory from 1st of january 1944. from here to here i kiss your sweet gentle little eyes. my sweet, sweet ane! i love you for today, for tomorrow and forever and for as long as i live. and i love you immensely. -so i fantasize: if i'd find a wallet with 20.000 dinars on the street, i'd validate passport, i'd get on the train and ...brr-brr... fly to you. ah, would that be great! but imagine, no one wants to loose this wallet... -since i can't come to you, i think of you constantly instead and i hug you like i always do before falling asleep. bye-bye. mia. isn't it beautiful? when we win a large prize, we'll build ourselves the same kind of villa, won't we? -i've already chosen the windows and doors from some ancient houses in out-of-the way places of hvar. when you get here i'll show you everything. bon? loves you even without a house, your mia. the date -i don't know friday postcards, found in an antique shop, were read by violeta tomic. cheers is filmed before a live studio audience. hey, everybody! i have a great new way to promote the bar. -( others groaning ) rebecca: no, no, no, no, you're gonna like this one; it's different. it not only demonstrates social concern, but it is also contemporary and hip. now, cheers is the bar that cares. -therefore, if you are not in condition to drive yourself home, we will appoint a designated driver, free of charge. oh, that's nice, that's really nice. so is anybody a little tipsy? come on, don't be ashamed. does anybody feel that they might have the slightest difficulty driving themselves home? -i might. well, hi. i'm rebecca howe. and i would be happy to drive you home myself. that's very nice of you. -where do you live? philadelphia. well, what's your address? eh, it's a blue house; i'll know it when i see it. -( inaudible ) ( piano plays ) ¶ sometimes you want to go ¶ where everybody knows your name ¶ ¶ and they're always glad you came ¶ -¶ you want to be where you can see ¶ ¶ our troubles are all the same ¶ ¶ you want to go where everybody knows your name. ¶ frasier? it's time to take mother to her hair appointment. -oh, well, then we'd better hurry up before they run out of her special shade of blue. frasier, how many times have mother and i asked you to cease and desist with the snide, cliché, battle-axe, mother-in-law jokes? you know mother's not like that. you're right, dear, i'm sorry. uh, i was just trying to amuse my friends. -geez, it wasn't very funny. cliff ( chuckles ): well, you-you know what was funny, when you said you could hear her perfume coming a mile away. norm: yeah, yeah, or the one where you said, uh, she's had so many facelifts, if she wants to smile, she has to cross her legs. -lilith, you understand, it was all in-in good humor, you know. of course. you know i have a sense of humor about mother. now, say good-bye to your friends. you're grounded for six weeks. -shoot! hey, sam. hey, woody, what's new? well, nothing much. oh, your car alarm's going off. -what? someone's breaking in my car and you don't run in here to tell me? we're not talking about any car here, man, we're talking about my 'vette! it's a classic, it's irreplaceable! hey, why don't you come in and sit down here. -sam, what about your alarm? well, you're taking care of that, woody, aren't you? i was? oh, i must be off in another world. sammy's done it again. -how come he always spots the gorgeous ones first? 'cause he doesn't spend all his time peeling dead skin off his elbows? what, are you gonna do it for me? so, how can i help you? i'm looking for becky howe. -wow, well, becky'll be here in a minute. in the meantime, can i interest you in a... sam malone? no, thanks. but i will have a perrier with lime. -ah. sworn off the hard stuff, huh? coming right up. sam. yeah? -it was nothing. oh, thanks. hey, listen, you know that girl you were talking to? yep. i swear i've seen her someplace before. -well, she asked for rebecca. called her becky. must be old friends. yeah, that could explain a lot. what's that supposed to mean? -cliff: well, figure it out. rebecca, who doesn't date, suddenly has this good-looking friend show up. a slender, boyish, female friend, with whom she probably, uh, sunbathed nude somewhere, perhaps on the isle of lesbos. they ever get the tests back on that dog that bit you? -so, uh, where do you know becky from? she's my sister. i'm susan howe. you're sisters? ! -well, of course! god, i love sisters! i love the whole idea of sisters. well, any sister of rebecca is a... are there any more of you? -uh, afraid not. well, no, that's... you're more than enough. ( laughs ): oh, wow! -( whispers ): sam, come here. let me tell you something. excuse me. what? -i just remembered who she is. that's susan howe. i know, she's rebecca's sister. no, the actress- i saw her in night of the mutants. -what, is that a movie, or your family reunion? a movie, carla. i don't remember, uh, rebecca saying anything about having a sister who was in a horror movie. are you sure about that? let me check. -yeah. yeah, i'm pretty sure. you know, if she had another, smaller head growing out of her neck, i'd be positive. i got to check this out. hey, ask her if they let her keep the little head. -sorry about that. uh, bar business. so, what brings you to boston? i'm shooting a bank commercial. oh, i was right! -you are susan howe, the actress. i loved you in that two-headed movie. oh, which one? i did two of them. was it the one where the head was coming out of my neck? -uh, yeah, that's the one. oh, thank goodness, because the other one i am not proud of. oh. well, so, you're, uh, you're here to see becky, huh? how long has it been since the two of you saw each other? -ooh, it must be three years. we had a little... falling out. i only hope we're grown up enough now to kiss and make up. grown-up sisters, kissing and making up. that warms my cockles. -( chuckles ) let's get you two gals back together, shall we? will you excuse me just a minute here? cliff: so, uh, what's the bone, jerome? -any late-breaking bulletins here? yeah, oh, yeah. i think i'm on to something here, fellas. carla, you hate your sister, don't you? sure, why? -well, what would i have to do to get the two of you back together again? simple, sam, ask me to come down and identify her body. she's missing the point. can you imagine what the reward might be for anybody who would act as a peacemaker between these two tragically estranged but perky-bottomed sisters? ah... -to sammy, the man who keeps the dream alive. carla: wait a minute. what makes you think you can get the both of them? it's taken you two years to get a polite kick in the teeth from number one. -( chuckling ): carla, carla, carla. am i gonna have to teach you about women? yeah, cliff, why don't you? nah, you better take this one, sammy. -i don't want to hog the spotlight. carla... i know you don't have a lot of experience with this, but sometimes women get... really happy. and when that happens, they get all emotional and vulnerable. and that's when it's time for a fella like me, who's very sensitive and caring, to move in and give new meaning to the words, "triple-decker sam-ich." -norm: hey, hey! cliff: hey, hey! hey! -all right! so, cliff... huh? tell me more about women. well, all right here, uh... -they're warm and soft, and... ( sighs ) ...when they wash their cars, they're dressed in nothing but suds, a suntan and a cowboy hat. sorry, i must have drifted away there for a second.

"o benevolent one." hello. hello? what are you saying? -such a bad joke? not sarbjit, its surjit. serving sentence in lakhpath jail for bomb blasts |ndian citizen sarbjifs release story turned upside down due to sensitive conditions on babur abdullans decision. late night, president asif ali zardari's spokesperson farat ullah babur informed us that pakishtan will be releasing surjit singh and not sarbjit. -even surjit singh was locked up in pakistan's lakhpat jail. while clearing the misconceptions on sarbjifs release, president zardari said... i think there has been some miscommunication. first of all, this is not about asking for forgiveness. secondly, surjit is being released, and not sarbjit. -aunty. aunt'! aunty isn't opening the door. aunty. aunt'! -aunty isn't opening the door. aunt'! open the door. aunty! aunty! -sister... aunty. you've become more imponant than us, right? your battle, your sorrows... they're bigger than us. -you even tried to make a sacrifice today. da|bir's so great. she gave up her life for her brother. applauds...praises. this sister is a fine example for this world. -i am his wife. even i thought of ending every1hing. liberate myself from these responsibilities. but...you kept saying, that you'll bring him back home. and i kept listening. -but my husband didn't come home. sukh. that man who was released todaymwas locked up for 32 years. he was released 21 years after he had served his sentence. even his family had forgotten all about him. -but he's back home now not my husband. i know i made a mistake. but... sarbjit's issue isn't so big. why don't you understand? -sarbjifs alive today because it's such a big issue. today one man was released because of him...tomorrow they'll release more. only because you didn't make the mistake of keeping quiet. you kept this battle alive. you kept me alive. -but remember...| am only breathing. my life comes back with sarbjit. so don't you dare... don't you dare step back now. beware! -brother, file a petition. sister i hope you understand this is our last chance then let's put our hean and soul to it. mr. ravindra. sarbjifs family has been on a hunger-strike since four days. -did you come here to give them assurance? mr. ravindra, lwant to ask... mr. ravindra...the entire country's with sarbjit. why not the government? i promise you...even the government's with you now. -in breaking news. ajmal amir kasab was hanged today. conditions critical in pakistan. we must to stop the bloodshed on both the sides. even we have some criminals whom pakistan wants released. -what if we demand afzal guru's freedom in return for sarbjit? one person who is responsible for the attack at our parliament... we don't want our fathers freedom at the cost of his release... our beloved country is wonhy of several such fathers sacrifice... international community has condemned the hanging of afzal guru. -can't stand indian democracy. indians declared ajmal kasab as terrorist and hanged him within one year... then why have we still not hanged terrorist sarbjit singh... blood should be repaid with blood! that's our chambail singh. -more infidels will fall. they'll kill one... we'll kill ten hurry up- why don't you do it at home before you leave? you have to get busy anywhere. -sit. do you have any idea... i've to drop you at school and get to the jail by 9. i won't move until the indian high commission doesn't arrive. this is a limit. -man is not safe even in jail. basheer basheer. where are you taking me? basheer. -i've lived my last 23years... with the same hope... that one day sarbjit will return to his country... and sister has kept this hope alive. i saw it 5 years ago. -'i've spent so many years in darkness, that i dream even with my eyes open. today is the day when i am released. today i will return home... to my people... to my land then by evening... -i console myself again... tomorrow will be that day... when i'll roam free... take this... we have succeeded -come on, let's go. oh allah... move back. move back. i am his lawyer. -it's impossible to go inside. tell him. it's impossible to go inside. the situation is really bad. the taliban have issued death warrants for all of them. -go back. go...go back. please stay back. please. aunt'! -aunty. sister... go back. stop it. please stay back. -stop it. stop it! stop it! stop this madness. at least let someone be human. -shame on your anger! shame on your revenge! you talk about justice! you did what you wanted to. you staged an attack on a helpless, unarmed prisoner inside the jail. -you call this justice? it's a shame. and now you've issued death warrants for the four of us. go tell your taliban... tell us the place and time. -this sikhni will be there! all you know is to stab in the back. but we indians never learned to turn our backs! i am right here. if you have the courage, then shoot me now. -do you have the courage? do you? come, sukh. move! move! -you cannot go inside. sir, he's my brother too. only family member. you saw your brother, didn't you? leave now, time's up. -come on, let us do our job. now you'll come back to your country your home. please come to my house and stay there. we're going to delhi. we'll request the government... -to treat papa at home. nothings right here. sister? do you know, his fingers moved. i saw it myself. -but they say coma... he can be treated here too. please try to understand. sister. it's fine if you don't want to stay. -but don't worry about anything here. there's a death warrant issued in your name. it's best that you leave pakistan along with your family. this is my country... and i won't run away from here. -think like a father. i promised him he'|| come back home. bring him back. bring him back. the images you see on screen... -the ambulance you see... are of amritsar airport... has sarbjifs dead body in it... 'people will also address you by my name. 'look there comes sarbjifs sister...' -'look there comes sarbjifs sister...' 'the whole village will carry me on their shoulders...' 'everyone will salute me...' 'my name sarbjit.' 'it's soaring all around the world.' -'free.' 'a pakistani boy...' '...is locked up in our tihar jail.' 'you tell everyone...' '...that they should look at me as their brother.' 'then you look at him as your sarbjit.' humanity's survival was never certain. -we came close to perishing many times before. in the 1300s, the bubonic plague killed over 20% of the humans on the globe. it took 300 years to restore the world's population. later, the spanish flu infected more than half the people on earth and killed 75 million before we were able to recover. and then science rose, and humanity flourished. -the population soared to more than 7 billion. our advancements brought us all closer together. we lost our fear. we believed we no longer had any predators. we believed in the primacy of science and technology. -oh, it's beautiful, mike. really is. but 41 days was all it took... from the day an airplane arrived carrying this plague to the moment when mankind stood on the precipice of destruction. humanity teetered on the edge of the abyss. all it needed was one small push, or a final, last-ditch rescue. -_ out of my way! all clear. back here, left. what's that? -i have broken with the master once and for all. you sent him a letter of resignation? in a manner of speaking. i ambushed eichhorst and riddled him with silver bullets. is... -eichhorst dead? he crawled away wounded, but it's only a matter of time. he is no longer of any consequence. i'm out of here! i also discovered what the mysterious cargo was on board the aurora cutlass. -a nuclear weapon. there is a second now safely in my possession. what does he need a second for? i know it is essential to complete the master's plan and, as such, he will do whatever it takes to get it back. without eichhorst, the master has to retrieve it himself... -you want to know who the master is? get your team together as soon as possible and be ready to ambush him at stoneheart. he'll be coming for my throat. you're playing a very dangerous game, eldritch. no other choice, abraham. -one final spin of the wheel. now, this is the end game for both of us. one way or the other. _ get away from me! -master. ah! whoa! who do we have here? ugh! -oh! what is that? is that a mask? my god! it's trying to pass for human. -i haven't ever seen one like this before. i want the head for my collection. oh, god! you killed him! we're human! -can't you...? get out of here! get me that flag. quick, i'm timing you. go! -hey there. are you ok? you alone? where are your parents? you shouldn't be out here by yourself. -family? just leave me alone. i have a son your age. we're leaving the city. everybody is. -you can come with us. stop! oh, shit! no! don't shoot her! -go! _ i know this is sudden, but we must move quickly. this might be our best opportunity ever. ephraim, you're just in time. -come. what do you want? i'm here to help. we don't need you, doc. enough! -only if we all work together, do we have any chance to stop this, or we're all gonna die. if you don't want to cooperate, then leave, go, now! any of you! what do you want me to do? dutch will take the device you both developed and set it up here, one floor below the penthouse, in the security office. -it's close enough to be in range, and i can use the security cameras to monitor the master's arrival. eph, you can accompany me up to palmer's penthouse. as soon as the master arrives, dutch will activate the device, incapacitating him. fet will bring in the box, and then you, me, fet, and mr. quinlan will force him inside it where the silver will trap him forever. -then we'll transfer the master to a tugboat, sail out to the north atlantic and sink him. then it's open season on munchers. great! let's sink the son of a bitch. coming in now. -main 1, main 2 on location. mr. duncan, put men on the doors. setrakian and his people must be admitted as soon as they arrive. get down! mister duncan! -aaah! aaaah! aaargh! aaaah! you! -you stole something that is mine. that is ours. it may please you to know you chose a partner as wily and as cutthroat as you are. the bomb is in my safe. i alone know the combination. -we must work together now. perhaps it is in my best interest not to destroy you. i shall abide by the terms of our original agreement. no, wait. wait. -no. eldritch palmer, eternal life is now yours. what's going on here? i heard about the man in the car. he was gonna shoot her. -zack! it wasn't my fault! zachary, you did the right thing. i did? you're not mad? -mad? being turned is an act of great beauty, zack. it is? of course. why haven't i been turned? -i want to turn you. i do very much, but the master, in his wisdom, has other plans. and dad? i'd love nothing more than for your father to join us, but your father is following his own path, as he always does. i'm very proud of you for what you did today. -both of you. and so is the master. speaking of which... get your things together, we're leaving here. where are we going now? the master has revealed himself, and we are going to join him. -you know, at first, i wondered why the professor wanted you up in palmer's penthouse with him, but now i think i got it. keep the weakest link close. you gotta hit me, huh? either with your fist or with insults. did nothing setrakian said land with you? -get away! go! guess not. you know what? after this is done, we'll never have to see each other again. -i guess we agree on one thing. yeah. you gonna fight me too? you made it very clear that it was over between us. not as clear as you made it. -you have a very high opinion of your own moral compass, don't you? god forbid somebody do something you disagree with. you mean, like sleep with every other person i meet? sanctimonious, hypocritical prick! _ -_ _ _ why, mein master, have you taken his form? for what purpose, my lord? -a necessary ruse. and i now possess all of palmer's knowledge and memories. thus, using palmer's memories, i have located the other nuclear device. where is it? -here. your conquest is assured, my lord. my time is at an end. release me. my most loyal and faithful servant, -i know my visage troubles you, but your talents are more necessary than ever. you are far too valuable to me to lose you now. _ _ _ -his new host body is pure expedience. a brilliant master stroke in fact. no one can stop him now. done. perfect. -thank you. zack, would you like to see what is inside? sure. come. whoa. -the detonator and the device are synced. once the device is armed... a red light comes on, here. also on the detonator. you see? i'll leave the detonator with you. -it is armed now. you will keep it for the master. he, and he only, is to press the button. is that clear? yes. -the master has an important meeting at stoneheart headquarters upstairs. once it is finished, the final phase will commence. what an honor it is to fulfill the final stage of the plan. who else but you? -keep an eye on your mother, young man. yes, sir. i will be back for both of you, shortly. _ mr. desai... your duties are about to expand greatly. -you will be pleased to learn that we have a great need for a helpful human confederate. that's very good to hear, mr. eichhorst. thank you. humans... think of evolution in terms of progress and advancement. this final errand will be the catalyzing event precipitating a new era on earth, akin to the meteor that felled the dinosaurs and ushered in the ice age. -i'm honored, sir... and humbled. once we dock, you will take the suitcase and place it exactly where i showed you on the map. are you clear as to the location? yes, sir. i am. -accursed sunlight, i shan't miss it. "give me your tired, "your poor, your huddled masses "yearning to breathe free, -"the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. "send these, the homeless, "tempest-tossed to me. "i lift my lamp beside the shining door." what is it? -go ahead. i'm going to have a look around. godspeed, everyone. you too, professor. i'm not sanctimonious. -you're just a hypocritical prick then? you slept with him. and? "and?" i don't want to fight with you. -it's just, uh... i just wish that it'd ended up better between you and me, you know? we would be scratching each other's eyes out by now. haha! but i do, too. -housewares. this is me. fet, i'm in. no one's here. roger that. -i'm in the service kitchen. do you see quinlan anywhere? no. no, i don't. eldritch? -here. no sign of the master yet. excuse the mess. i admit i would like to have seen -eichhorst riddled with bullets. i'm sure you would. dr. goodweather, welcome. strange bedfellows, eh? where's the bomb? -it's near. it's safe. everything all right, eldritch? i'm a little anxious, with the end so near. what's happening? -uh, eph and setrakian are with palmer in the penthouse, talking. miriam's heart. yours to take of course. you loved her very much. how many years has it been, abraham? -too many. and you, dr. goodweather, your wife... what about her? sad situation. your son though... -what about my son? a fine boy. great potential. you've never met my son. zack has a dark heart, don't you think? -what are you talking about? ephraim, get back! why are you talking about my son? ! ugh! -oh, shit! fet, they're fighting. with palmer. turn the jammer on! turn it on now! -fet, give me a sec! ugh! he jumped into palmer's body. he's playing with us. you should have ended it when you had the chance! -the taking of a soul is but another blood meal, but your suffering, this is a delicacy. dutch! come on! come on! oh, you're unplugged, you little bastard! -what are you going to do? chop my head off again? no, we have something else in mind. aaaah! argh! -aaaah! aaah! he's in there? yeah. oh, my god! -eph! it's superficial. it didn't hit the muscle. sure as hell doesn't look like it's bleeding superficially. our job is only half-done. -we need to get this box to the bottom of the ocean as soon as possible. i'm staying. you need help with the wound. van's downstairs. we need to go. -palmer's got all sorts of medical equipment here. the jammer. it worked. yeah. -take it with you. it'll be helpful if you run into some strigoi. well, who's gonna help you? i'm a doctor, remember? go. -ok. but we'll be back soon, ok? don't die. let's go! sir, are you all right? -i hear nothing. there is no voice. hear? who? drive to stoneheart headquarters! -immediately! yes, sir. mom? the master... i cannot hear him. -you can't... you can't what? the master's right upstairs. let's just go see him. come on, mom. -ugh! oh! zack? dad? no! -stop! no, get off! please, just stop! mom! stop it, please! -dad! ugh! no, don't! mom! mom. -_ get back! are you ok? it's over. it's all over now. -you're safe. you're... you know what that is? yeah. give that to me. -i hate you! oh, shit! get to cover! behind the wall! come on! -quinlan! no. no. where are you? he's gone. -oof! zack?

-! help me! where's kelly? my dad... killed her. i'm sorry, zack. -well done, son. thanks to you, we are well again. come. come. oh, my god! -if the fallout blows this way, we're not gonna have to worry about strigoi. we'll be glowing. we gotta get underground. we have to find him. you want to get irradiated? -be my guest. the occultation. zack! you're gonna be ok. you're gonna be ok. -zack! hey, dingdongs. we figured out what's happened here. you two are both named eleanor shellstrop. the day you died, you were both in phoenix, arizona shopping at the same grocery store. -pffft. the "real eleanor" was attending a conference on the death penalty, and you stopped by to pick up food for a local homeless shelter. and "fake eleanor" was there buying margarita mix and a magazine called "celebrity baby plastic surgery disasters." incredibly, you both died in the same 10,000ths of a second in the same traffic accident because real eleanor was trying to save fake eleanor's life by pushing you out of the way of the truck. i guess you really botched that one, eh? -i did, and i am so, so sorry. it's all good. so how did you not realize you had the wrong eleanor? oh, we don't know what people look like... only names and profiles. on earth, they're just dots on a map. -whatever, we got our wires crossed, we picked up the wrong dot, blah, blah, blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. point is, there are two eleanors. the nice, boring one is yours. the trash bag is ours... so, trash bag, let's go. -wh... let's hit it. and also... i'm still waiting on that smile, gorgeous. -trevor. where's that smile? trevor, how about we negotiate? maybe give you something else. what in the world could you have that we would want? -all right, how about a unicorn? right? i bet you don't have one of those. no, that is true, yeah. might be fun to skin it alive, eat its raw flesh, maybe break off the horn, grind it up, snort it. -okay, let's keep talking. yeah. _ fake eleanor, a word? it's just me, man. -you can just say, "eleanor." sorry, it just makes things easier. look, i'm not even sure how it would work for you to stay here now that we know there's a real eleanor, but in the meantime, stay on your toes. don't let trevor get inside your head. can i ask you something? -why are you helping me? well, chidi made a very good argument on your behalf, but it's more than that. i truly believe that the good place is where you belong. you're part of our team. hi! -oh, you must be the new student eleanor shellstrop. i'm gloria, the senior class secretary. cool. well, welcome to adobe high, home of the scorpi-oties! half the school wanted to be the scorpions, half wanted to be the coyotes, so we compromised. -why don't i give you a tour after lunch? yeah, no thanks, moptop. uh, sorry? don't need your help, don't wanna sign your yearbook in, like, gel pen, don't wanna bedazzle our college essays, or whatever. i'm here for like six months, and i'm gonna fly solo. -beat it, gloria. she is, like, such a dork. she, like, loves this school so much. why don't you come sit with us? we'll teach you which guys are cute and which teachers are secretly pervs, and... -yeah, that's a hard pass as well. i don't wanna get chunky highlights, make fun of nerds, and steal your mom's flavored vodka. i get your whole "mean girl" thing, and i'm all set with it, thanks. in fact... listen up, everyone. -i'm eleanor, i'm new here, and as a blanket statement for everyone: i don't wanna be a part of whatever little group you've formed because they're all equally lame. everybody cool? great. hey, that was really cool, the way you told -all those poseurs... no. michael, welcome. how can i help you? well, if i'm going to save fake eleanor, -i need some help negotiating. i don't even know what to offer. i mean, what do you get somebody who wants to eat a unicorn? a unicorn bib, yes! no, no, uh, unicorn holders, you know, like... -like, corn holders, but for unicorns? perhaps, it'd be better if we just move away from the unicorn thing altogether. and anyway, there's a bigger problem: the bad place crew... they're all terrible bullies, and they outnumber me. -they even have their own bad janet. i'll show you. bad janet? what? bad janet, uh, where is the nearest café? -oh, um, that's a good question. it's up your mom's butt, you fat dink. what is even the purpose of a janet who behaves in such a manner? unclear, but the... the point is i never have to deal with negative emotion of any sort. i could use some backup, tahani. -oh, michael, of course. why don't you just bring them all here? surely this magnificent house will placate them. oh, perfect, perfect. i'll be right back. -well, here's... your house. it's beautiful... i love icelandic primitive design. i kind of wish it had a clown nook, oh... there it is. -here's the bedroom. you have got to be forking kidding me. hey, fake eleanor, we used this same clown painting to decorate the room you were supposed to live in down there. i swear to bieber. wait, what was your house like? -well, i was living in what i assume is eleanor's worst nightmare. every day was basically one endless baby shower for a woman i didn't know, but also somehow i had to organize it. and if i didn't remember everyone's name, i got a very strong electric shock. -yep, that was my pitch. and then at night, it was pretty classic torture. uh, flying piranhas, lava monsters, college improv, and there was always jazz music playing. ugh, i hate jazz. every jazz song is like 40 minutes long. -it's like, we get it. you can blow on a trumpet. wrap it up, elton john. famously a piano player. i don't mean to be a bother, but could i possibly get some water and whatever food doesn't turn to spiders in your mouth? -oh, of course, so sorry. let's get some dinner. yeah, we'll all go. perfect double date: two losers, a trash bag, and a demon. -let's hit it. eeh! all right, michael, we're going to ply them with delicious food and drink, and then we're going to subtly segue into negotiation. they're sure to be in a good mood. everything is absolutely beautiful. -this sucks, dude. yeah, this food, uh, blows. yo, good janet. hi, there. oh, huh, gimme some jalapeño poppers. -sure, quick question: what is a "jalapeño"? also: what is a "poppers"? also: what is "jalapeño poppers"? oops, sorry, guys. -uh, see, in the confusion, janet got rebooted, so she hasn't quite uploaded all of the info she usually knows. that's hilarious. she's almost as stupid as people. oh, hey now, come on. -let's not insult people, please. i love, uh, idiot humans! i gotta admit... that does sound like me. "i got to admit... -that does sound like me." oh, nailed it again. go get me a drink. yes, of course. aw, man, this is gonna make a primo dump later on. -well, that looks delicious. what is that? oh, it's tom yum goong soup. it reminds me of when i was in thailand rescuing victims of human trafficking. ooh, that sounds so good. -i mean, um, the soup, not the... human trafficking. oh, and i think your grilled eggplant looks so good. should we... yeah! i can't believe you thought you could pretend to be real eleanor. -she's like a perfect ball of light, and you're like a... wet pile of mulch. someone made a person out of wet mulch and leaves and, like, dead slugs, and that's you. whatever, it's easy when you're just born perfect. my parents were both dirtbags who split up when i was eight. i don't mean to eavesdrop, but did you say your parents got a divorce? -yeah, and that kind of thing really changes a person. i mean, that trauma... it can explain away a lot of behavior. oh, of course. your parents are still together, i guess. -oh, actually, um, i... i'm not sure. i never met my birth parents. they put me in an empty fish tank and abandoned me at a train station in bangladesh. luckily, i was found and adopted by a very nice couple, the shellstrops... -oh, thank god. but then they died when i was four... bird flu. that's awful. anyway, orphanage burned down, yadda yadda yadda, made my way to america, yadda yadda yadda, learned english from watching "seinfeld," put myself through law school, and here i am. -huh. and, i'm sorry, what... what is it you said happened to you? the same thing that happens to half of all kids in america? and for you to have gone through all that, and to end up where you did, it is just... -it's just amazing. oh, man, these horndogs are vibing like mofos. am i right, fake eleanor? please, stop calling me that. oh, you got it, third wheel. -yeah, that wine's no good. i'm sending it back. hey, janet. you look sad. people keep asking me questions that i don't know the answers to. -that was my whole life on earth. you know, it doesn't matter if you know things. all that matters is what's in your heart. thanks, jianyu. i mean, it does matter if i know things, because i'm an informational delivery system, and i don't have a heart, but thanks. -jianyu, i know usually you ask me questions, but can i ask you a question? sure. what are jalapeño poppers? oh, i know this one! okay, they're deep fried jalapeños filled with cheese. -hm. one time, at a buffalo wild wings in jacksonville, but the nice one, not the one above the gas station, i ate 50 of them in two minutes. everyone at the hospital was so impressed. -got it. thanks, jianyu. you're welcome. why did you do that? because you're the only person here that's nice to me. -okay. anyone up for a little, uh, icebreaker? you know, i once did trust falls with barry diller, and it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship. and then once we trust each other, then we can discuss making a deal for fake eleanor. this sucks. -how do you guys eat without listening to hard-core porn? oh, come on, this is the good place, you can do anything you want. what about throwing a rager and totally trashing this place? whoo-hoo, yeah, i'd be into that. mm, we could totally go to town. -you know, i actually don't think that's such a good idea. let's party! oh, my god! so, um, chidi tells me that he's teaching you about ethics. yeah, actually, we've had some interesting and in-depth classes. -he taught me about plato and socrates, immanuel kant... yeah, cool, shut up. let's cut to the chase here... you two go to poundtown? -poundtown, bro. you two bang it out? she hot for teach? did you pork the dork? c'mon, girl, dish me dem dirty deets. -i assure you, our relationship was "teacher-student," nothing more. chidi, you don't have to explain anything to me. whatever happened before i arrived is none of my business. hey, i'd love to see the rest of the neighborhood. uh, yes, it's... it's incredible. -um, there's an amazing library, there's a beautiful, piranha-free lake. well, please, show me everything. you ready, eleanor? i've seen it all already. -you guys go ahead. you'd rather be alone with him? fire in the hole... watch your heads, ladies. my dudes tend to boomerang around the room. -yeah, i mean, i don't need to walk around and nerd out about old books. i'm good. okay. hey, a bunch of us are gonna go see "spider-man 2" tonight. -do you want to come? they made a second "spider-man"? what is there left to say? sure, whatever, i'm in. cool, okay, well, i'll get tickets for the eight of us, and you can just pay me back in cash. -so you can get all the points on your credit card, and the rest of us get screwed? no way. no, it's just so we can all get tickets before they sell out. do you want to buy them? so you guys can never pay me back, and i'll be out like 80 bucks? -nice try. i'll buy my own ticket. the rest of the group can do whatever they want. where did she end up?

"shawn"? okay, look, i don't want shawn involved either, so how about you blow us away with an offer so we can end this. okay... -here's my offer. you... get... nothing. we're not letting fake eleanor go, and we're not giving you anything. get him, michael! you can summon every evil creature you have, every weapon in your arsenal, every four-headed flying bear... they have them down there... but we are not giving up. -i believe that eleanor belongs in the good place. if i'm wrong, you can take her to the bad place and punish her all you want, just really go to town on her. gah, gah, gah, easy, buddy, easy. but she's staying here. now, all of you... -get the fork out of my neighborhood. enjoy it while it lasts. let's roll, dummies. let's get one drink for the road. bye. -did you guys hear any of that? oh, my... hello, jianyu. you got sloppy. i found your junk food all over the house, and then, last night, you knew how to tap a keg. -so i thought i would come in here and investigate your little "meditation" den. what i found was this. now, i don't know who you are, but i do know that you're not a buddhist monk. so let's chat, shall we? dre: -lately, there have been some changes around the johnson household. dre: babe. ah, hey, baby. yeah, hey. -i've been thinking, you know, with you being pregnant, maybe you should take it easy, focus on you and my baby. why you keep saying "my," dre? you know we haven't gotten the swab back yet. you know i do not like it when you make that joke because the subtext is you're cheating on me. subtext? -i... i was going to say maybe you should take some time off because you worked so hard during all of your other pregnancies. well, that's really sweet, but can we afford it? we'll figure it out. i'm pretty sure the layoffs at work are behind us. -oh. well, this brings me great sadness to do this, especially since you grabbed me this delicious egg mcmuffin on your drive into work, but i really have no choice. lucy... we're laying you off. what? s-seriously? -oh, my... oh, my god. okay, that was a big lie. whew! god, you got me going. good one. -it, uh, it didn't bring me great sadness, but you are still laid off. that part was true. dre: what the hell is going on? i thought the layoffs were over. -stevens: oh, no, no, no. the tighter the ship, the bigger the profits. besides, daphne really hates lucy. what? -! we're getting our nails done together at lunch. well, that's gonna be awkward. now, turning to charlie. so, that's what's up? -you brought me back here so you can fire me? you think by telling me in front of all these people, you think i ain't gonna make a scene? all i got left is my god and my goatee! aaah! hey, charlie! -no. charlie. calm down, charlie! aah! oh, no, no, no. -ugh. aaah! charlie, you are not fired, okay? ! i was actually gonna say good job on the forever 21 campaign. -actually, that was me. oh, that was a good job. i've seen it everywhere. on buses, schools. it's all over the place. -really nice work there, lucy. okay. well, now that that is taken care of, it is time for birthday announcements. oh, well, looks like we're not just celebrating lucy's last day. -come on, guys, help me out. jo-josh, i was just fired, okay? oh. um... i-i'm sorry. -i'll ju... i'll just... no, you don't have to... so slow. oh, for god... -no, no, make a wish! make a wish! and sometimes, change isn't great... that's yummy. especially if you're lucy. -it makes you wonder who's next. do you want a corner? no, no, no, i want the corner. give her something in the middle. hey, baby, how was your day? -uh, not good. i actually had to s... good. listen, you're never going to believe what happened to me at my doctor's appointment. dr. gonzales told me that i have a geriatric womb. -uh, to your face? told me that i'm of advanced maternal age. to your face? ! yes. -oh, baby, come here. it was awful. relax, baby. just means your wife's uterus is old. what? -thank you, ruby. like "antique road show" old. like probably watches "murder, she wrote" and has a landline old! mama! -we get it. pops: that's crazy. look at her. she is a beautiful, vibrant, curvy, vivacious young woman. -hey, hey, pump your brakes, pops. not only is this my wife... but she is asleep. bow! huh? oh, my god. -i'm so exhausted. dre, m-maybe i should take that time off. really? well i think you taking some time off is a good idea, sweetheart. -and stand-up move on your part, son, letting your wife kick her feet up while you hold your family down like a man. mm-hmm. i agree. her body obviously needs rest. well... -look at her. she's falling apart. okay. listen here, son. there's a good chance i may have to carry this baby, and i'm willing to do it. -the doctors say i have the uterus of a 16-year-old latina. uh... diane: mmm, smells good, grandma. mmm, what's on the menu? -well, it's ruby tuesday, so you know what that means. another gravy-heavy experience. dad, you need to make the down payment for my summer trip abroad. and we need new bow and arrows for "hunger games" camp. we're sending them to "hunger games" camp? -isn't that ex... violent? i don't know, and i don't care. all i know is they take them away for two weeks and i don't see them. that's a lucky baby in that dusty womb of yours. oh, and don't forget my deposit for summer school. -didn't you get straight a's? yeah, but this is advanced summer wizardry. my sorcery coach says i might actually be a real wizard. zoey: really? -so, while everyone was excited about their time off from work and expensive summer plans, i decided to drown my worries in some biscuits and gravy and classic tv. announcer: get cozy for an all-night marathon of your favorite '70s chicago sitcom. that's right. -every episode back to back. reporter: there's been an alarming rise in the unemployment rate in the black community in chicago, hitting highs of 19%. that ain't news. -hey, thelma. keith. baby, i'm so glad you're home. i, uh... i got something to show you. -oh. what's this, baby? it's a pregnancy test. technology has come a long way. keith... -i'm pregnant. are you sure? of course i'm sure. this thing is 26% accurate 65% of the time. keith, how did we let this happen? -broke, living in the projects at my parents' house. i'm just gonna be another statistic. hey, hey, hey, baby, i-i know you're scared. hell, i'm scared, too, and, no, you ain't gonna be no nother statistic. baby, i got my big football tryouts coming up, and, hey, when i do go pro, we're gonna get married. -and... and i'm gonna have enough money to take care of everybody and buy a fancy car! baby, i'm gonna be an nfl football player, and they don't ever go broke! huh? ! -oh, baby. oh, you make me feel so much better. oh. oh. and who knows? -hmm? maybe daddy won't be mad. that don't sound right. j.j.? uh, 'tis i. -didn't we tell you about eavesdropping? you told me, but i think it's safe to say i didn't give a damn. until we decide how we're gonna tell daddy the news, you keep your big ol' mouth shut. as long as you let me be there when you tell him. -i ain't never painted a murder scene before. damn! you ain't gonna believe what happened to me today. you got your paycheck cut in half? they doubled your workload? -the cops hassled you on the way home? no, i found a really good parking spot in front of the building. man, you people have an incredibly fatalistic outlook on life. hey, mrs. evans. hey, michael. -hey, what's going on? i just left the principal's office. apparently, your son staged a walk-out for the school lunch monitors. they got us down there busing tables and washing trays for cheap. then tell them what happened. -julio and his cousin julio said that they'd do our job for half the pay. what? ! if he thinks that mexicans are gonna come do the dirty work that black folks do for less money, he's got another thing coming. mm-hmm. -hey, hey. you keep fighting for the people like you are, man, you might just become our first black president. yeah, but not in these united states of america. oh, unh-unh. no, 'cause that ain't never gonna happen. -not ever, ever. ever, ever, ever, ever! ruby: now he's got no job. i had to leave mine early and walk 30 blocks to get him from school. -got attacked by a dog. would've lost my big toe had the sugar not already taken it. mm! oh, well. tomorrow's gonna be a better day. -tomorrow might be a better day, but not nine months from now. hey. be cool, fool. i am cool. she's the one in heat. -oh, thank goodness for you, baby girl. once you finish college, you're gonna make everything right for this family. i disagree. sorry. i don't know why i said that. -even though she's my daughter, i feel much more of a kinship with keith. oh. thank you, mrs. evans. no, baby, call me mama. -well, mama, i... unh-unh. oh. you call me mrs. evans. uh-oh. -almost forgot my evening turtleneck in the dryer. i got me a hot blind date with a fine young tender. i think it's safe to assume that all your dates are blind, j.j. hey. hey. -hey, wilona. hey, penny. hey, j.j. sorry we're late. everybody's late around here. how can you be late? -you weren't invited. nice to see you, too, friend. julio told me that julio and julio stole your job. penny, be nice. that was me being nice. -are we here in time for gravy? can't, penny. fresh out of gravy. just add more water, mama. can't. -fresh out of water. what? i thought bookman fixed it. almost fixed. 12 to 14 hours, and we'll be halfway there. -boy, what the hell happened to your shirt? apparently, bookman fixed the dryer. so, you want wet water and a less dry dryer? you people are so demanding. pregnancy test? -you have to take a test to get pregnant? no, it's a test to see if you are pregnant. really? this tiny little thing? well, whose is it? -well, don't look at me. don't look at me. ain't nobody looking at you, woman! mama... i'm pregnant. -oh, thelma! i'm gonna need more red paint. white jesus, white jesus! why have thou forsaken me? how did this happen? -more importantly, where did this happen? because there is clearly only one bed in here that we all sleep in. okay, everything is going to be fine. boy, do you have the slightest idea what it means to have a child? did you even consider the cost? -the diapers, the formula, the medical bi... shots. we'll skip the shots. we skipped the shots with j.j.! we'll need the shots. we need the shots. -we already got 82 people living in this house. we don't need an 83rd, no matter how small. and with our luck, it'll have thelma's appetite... and face. hey, j.j, can i rap to you outside for a second? oh, sure. -oh, all right. hey, man, i was thinking. once thelma gives birth to this baby... all right, look, everybody, i will be able to take care of thelma and the baby forever. the nfl takes care of its players long after they retire. -hey, florida. james, it's midnight. you're home from work early. aw, they wouldn't let me work a quadruple shift. say, what's with all the empty photo albums? -oh, i was just sitting here imagining what our old wedding photos would've looked like if we could've afforded a camera. look at you, james. look here. look at me. you remember how nervous you were when we found out we were expecting a child? -ooh! just like keith, you had all the hopes and dreams in the world. i was never like keith. no, i had hopes and dreams and four jobs. hopes and dreams don't feed a family. -nobody ever asked for a second helping of hopes and dreams. james, where you going? well, where do you think i'm going, florida? i'm going to work. hello? -j.j., some lady for you. uh, chello? keith, how did it go? how were tryouts? dre: -should've seen me, thelma. i took the snap, and i ran a sweep to the left and scampered a few yards, i came up short, then boom, i turned it to the right, i took it to the house! it went really well, guys. -see, james? i told you keith was gonna be able to take care of our little girl. yeah, well, we'll see about that. i knew everything was gonna be all right. keith is gonna be the next o.j. simpson. -god willing. oh, yeah. god willing. i'll finish dinner. afterwards, we're gonna try this thing i heard about called dessert. -what's that? well, it's a little meal white folks have after dinner. like breakfast? yeah, but but sweet. sweet breakfast? -yeah, but at night. ah. mm-hmm. sweet night breakfast. mm-hmm. -like sugar eggs. yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. that don't look good. surprise! -surprise! florida: it's the man of the hour! what are we celebrating? you, babe, and your success. -now, we know this is mystery meat, baby, but when you make it to the pros, you're gonna be eating the finer things of life, bookman: or fresh fruit. one of these days, i'm gonna have me a strawberry. hey, you guys, i've got some good news myself. -i am not gonna finish college. florida: what, thelma? no, come on. i don't even think i need a degree, with you getting drafted by the houston oilers. -i mean, that franchise is gonna be around forever. hey, dad, where you been? work. well, maybe when keith makes it to the nfl, you can get rid of one of those jobs, james. i wouldn't even know what to do with all that extra time. -well... well, how about you take a day off? you know, i never imagined myself with one of those. that seems like the kind of thing that only white folks get, like socks. with all that free time, you could possibly even take up a hobby. -mm-hmm. always did want to try a rem sleep. now that you've made it big, can you get me a hat that covers my ears, 'cause, you know, this city's really windy. and can i get some art supplies? canvasses, paintbrushes. -will you buy me glasses with a prescription? i've always wanted to see what you guys look like. all right, enough! uh, penny, no. you're just gonna have to recognize us by our voices. -look, i'm not going to the nfl. i hurt my knee at football tryouts. th-they tell me i'll never play again. m-my football career is over. i told you this guy was a bum! -daddy. no, no, no, thelma, your daddy's right. look, i-i-i-i don't deserve this. w-what kind of meat is that, anyway? it doesn't matter. -you don't deserve it... none of it! oh, james. damn! damn! damn! -why you got to be so hard on him? because he's a bum. i thought i was clear when i said, "keith, you're a bum!" you know what? you remember this handsome young man on his wedding day? -you know, when his dreams didn't pan out, he made it work. i haven't had a dream in 30 years. how could i? i haven't slept! i don't want our kids to struggle like we did, florida. -damn it. i want our kids to have better than we did. i want them to have an album filled with actual pictures. i want that, too. but until then, we got to have faith that keith will work it out like you did. -what those kids need right now is our support. y'all, i'm sorry i'm such a failure. i only had one dream my whole life, and now it's over. a-and because of me, this family's gonna remain poor, black, and strawberry-less. listen, son, i understand what you're going through. -it's a struggle to raise a family. but the good news is, you don't have to do it alone. florida: that's right. really? -yeah, we're here to help you. j.j.: listen, man, i was gonna take one of my sweet thangs out for a fine-dining extravaganza, but you can have those $3. and i can give you this month's foster-care money for penny and her sister. uh -uh, penny doesn't have a sister. do you want the money or not? hey, hey, y'all, thank you, but i'll get by. look, i'm just sorry i couldn't help you fulfill your dream of sleeping. -or seeing. it's okay. i can still hear. james: yeah, don't worry about it. -being poor, black, and tired is all we've ever known. hmm. oh. oh. oh, wow. -did you forget to pay the power bill? forgetting's for rich folks. we're just broke. ah. well, tomorrow's gonna be a better day. -mm. j.j.: dy-no-mite. good evening. i'm james earl jones. -welcome to "black omnibus." tonight, we discuss the height of the latin jazz movement with famed percussionist willie bobo. well, well, well, well, well. look who's alive. that gravy nap really set me back. -nap? dre, seriously, you've been asleep for like 12 hours. oh, my... look at you. oh, my god. -i was? man, i must really be stressed about the baby and that new round of layoffs at work. another round? sweetie, i thought you said that was over. ugh, i thought they were, but it doesn't matter. -hey, hey, hey, it's okay... because i just had a great dream. it made me realize that it doesn't matter if we have less money or more kids as long as we are together. diane: dad? -yep? if you're really worried about money, i don't have to go on that trip. yeah, and if i'm really a wizard, we'll never have to worry about money again. or dragons. -oh. there he is. you're welcome to some of my allowance. i mean, it's not much, but that's on you. ah, touché. -don't look at me. i'm still learning how to share. you know what? me, too. aww. -ah, babe, look at us. look at that. that was the beginning. aren't we cute? whoa. -what's wrong with your eyes? are you a demon? rainbow: no, no, no, no, no. it's called red eye. -we didn't have anything to fix it then. also, she's a demon. uh. aww, look at that. look, you're so cute. -diane: ugh. that was my awkward phase. burn it. hey, look at this one. -it's a picture of junior in his awkward phase. i was a baby. pops: hey, y'all want to see an awkward baby? yes, please. -mm-hmm. look at this here. this is dre. no way. ohhh! -ohhh! look at that head. doctor told us he was gonna grow into it. we're still waiting, son. same size. -looks like a watermelon. diane: so big. so you carry my picture around, huh? it came with the wallet. -okay. come on. turn the page, boy. earl. i don't even remember, where is this? -where did this happen? yeah, where's this at? in 2166, an immortal tyrant named vandal savage conquered the world and murdered my wife and child. i have assembled an elite team to hunt him throughout time and stop his rise to power. unfortunately, my plan is opposed by the body -i'd sworn my allegiance to, the time masters. in the future, my friends may not be heroes, but if we succeed, they will be remembered as legends. previously on "legends of tomorrow"... sorry we're late. aren't you even a little bit happy to be back on the ship? -i was happy with that life we built together. you think i was hunting you and your friends because the time masters made me? they barely had to ask. since i failed to bring you in, the time masters want to bring me in. they're called the hunters, and they'll stop at nothing till every single one of us is erased from the face of history. -do you have any suggestions? run. _ aah! it's been quite a while since i time-jumped far enough to experience side effects. -fond memories. i can't feel my face. fine feel i. linguistic dysplasia, that should pass shortly. better it now. -am i the only one who can't feel their face? i can't feel my... i better not say. mr. rory appears unaffected. what's going on? -we time-jump? yeah, we time-jumped. but "where to?" is the better question. the town of salvation, the dakota territory, 1871. i can't believe it... the old west. -this isn't going to work. it'll buy us time. we can hide out here while the hunters search the other fragmentations. what if they decide to check this place first? you know, feel free to loop us in whenever it's convenient. -as you've seen, time doesn't operate as is generally thought. it wants to happen. it takes time to harden. the... the timeline is unclear on occasion, constantly in flux. hence the difficulty in locating savage throughout history. -indeed. and one of the other interesting notions of time travel is the existence of fragmentations. temporal blind spots, specific places and times the time masters can't see. the town of salvation and its surrounding environs are located within one of these fragmentations. so, basically, we're hiding out in the old west and hoping your boogeymen don't find us here. -the hunters are not boogeymen. and you better hope they don't find us. well, at least not until i get a chance to "punch a few doggies" or "bust a bronco" or two. not that i condone animal cruelty. it's just that i watched a lot of westerns as a kid. -alas, you'll have to enjoy the old west from in here, i'm afraid. oh, come on. what's the harm in us just taking a look around? with this group? -clearly, you haven't been paying attention. ugh, if i'm in the old west and i don't get to look around, i'm going to kick myself. i could help with that. i'll keep an eye on them. -don't worry. i'll be a good boy. now, the fabricator can make clothing, but you're also going to need era-appropriate protection. this era can get a little, uh, rough. oh, six shooters? -actually, most guns of that time period had hammer blocks, thus reducing the number of shots to five. now, this should go without saying, but considering this group, i am going to say it... only use these weapons in the case of extreme emergencies. you make it sound like you're not coming with. from your duster and revolver, i'd imagined you as much an old west aficionado as dr. palmer. indeed i am. -but my time is best spent back here on the ship, plotting our next move against vandal savage. besides, as mr. rory says, it's only a matter of time before the hunters find us here. don't worry. we're not going to put down roots. yeah, we'll stay out of trouble. -mm, how i hope and pray that to be true. yahoo! remember, we're just here to get the lay of the land. no trouble. sure that'll happen. -i need a drink. wow. it's a real old-timey saloon. oh, i beg your pardon. not at all, ma'am. -that tastes like gasoline. pretty much. hit me again. oh, i'm so sorry. it's no bother. -time doesn't pass normally in the vanishing point. it's been years since i've seen the bottom of a glass. years? how long were you... chronos? -never counted. doesn't matter. turns out it was just another gig anyway. doesn't seem like it. you're different now. -better or worse? don't know yet. you can handle your liquor. i like that. i've been on more than a few dates with guys who thought we'd get wasted and they'd get lucky, but somehow they always ended up the ones under the table. -mm. you haven't drunk with me. is that a challenge, mick? line them up. didn't know you played cards. -like you, mr. snart, i am an enigma. raise. aha. thank you, gentlemen. i'm impressed. -my father was what some might call a degenerate gambler, others would say criminal. when i was old enough, he'd pull me in on some of his schemes. i picked up a thing or two at a few of the card tables he frequented. then i took a different path. like father, like son isn't always inevitable, mr. snart. -i had a full boat. as did i. full of kings, which beats your pair of queens. don't i look busy to you? i'm sorry. -i... you spill another drop of that whiskey, and you will be. just because you're losing doesn't mean you have to pick on the waitstaff. mind your own business, grandpa. unhand the lady. -now, now, boys, let's just take it easy. oh, when my friend here is being reasonable, we know we have a problem. i'm not the one with the problem. you are. you killed him. -you're welcome. clearly, the deceased was a friend of yours, but my friend here... your friend drew first, got put down. it was a clean shot. do we look like we care about clean? -he has a point. all right! playtime's over. anybody's got a problem with that, they answer to me. thank you, -mister... hex. jonah hex. you're not from around here, are you? no. -my friends and i are, uh... from out of town. way out of town. all right. why don't you folks tell me where you're really from? i'm not sure that's any of your business, sir. -let me rephrase that. tell me when y'all from. you seven stick out like a dog in a manger. like he said, we're not from around here. you think you're the first time travelers i've ever come across? -uh, yes. where is he? i got some words that need saying. where is who? rip hunter. -what is it about you people that whenever we go to a new timeline, you feel the need to pick up... strays? nice. i didn't get to see it last time around. last time? a long story, which we will not be telling. -my coat suits you good. what are you doing here, jonah? collecting on a bounty, wetting my whistle, when your friends here got in a lot of trouble. we might've gotten into a barroom brawl back in town. well, that was entirely predictable. -one of them poured lead into a member of the stillwater gang. mr. rory. snart, actually. oh, that was gonna be my next guess. this guy tried to kill grey. -snart saved him. and brought this town a whole lot of hell in the bargain. those boys you were trading hands with in the saloon... they're all members of the stillwater gang. why can't a gang ever be a bunch of good guys? jeb stillwater and his friends been raiding this town for the past three months. -stealing, robbing, killing. well, he'll have to go through us. no, he won't. no doubt your... your little ruckus has already placed the timeline at risk, to say nothing of potentially alerting the hunters to our presence here. sounds like someone's planning on busting out of town again. -leaving already? no. no. look, this town is being terrorized by the stillwater gang. and i aim to do something about it. -you "aim to"? you getting all native on us, haircut? look, we signed on to this mission... to stop vandal savage. to be heroes. -and saving a town from a marauding gang of criminals... that is what heroes do. quite a posse of saints you're riding along with nowadays. hey. bridge is, uh, that way. yeah, i'm not going to the bridge. -i'm, uh... where am i going, gideon? the valley you described is consistent with albano gulch. yeah, there. okay, wait. -why? i think i might have known her in one of my past lives. and if so, she might be able to help me find carter. wait. so you're just gonna run out there and try and find her? -actually, i was planning on flying. you want a partner in crime? okay, fine. but you're definitely not carrying me. how do you propose we get there? -howdy. i'm ray... john wayne. what do you want, mr. wayne? well, i, uh... -i reckon you could use another hand with the stillwater gang. you boys have any experience with law enforcement? well, i have a fair bit of experience fighting crime. congratulations, then. you're making me your deputy? -nope. just made you the new sheriff. excuse me. what? stillwater gang has been shooting up this town for months now. -it's only by the grace of the good lord that i'm not pushing up daisies myself. and i am done with pushing my luck. but you're the... sheriff. congratulations. by the way, you might find a warrant or two out for me around these parts. -you know, we have stuff back on the ship that can fix your... you know... fix what? yep. nothing. never mind. -what can i get you? information. some friends of mine are looking for jeb stillwater. if they're the same friends that shot billy conlon and beat on the stillwater posse, i can guarantee you he'll find you. -that being said, we'd very much like to find him first. you got any more of them greenbacks? let me go find a map. excuse me, ma'am. are you all right? -i'm fine. i just want to be alone. i understand. i'm new to these parts. i didn't think it was customary for a lady to drink alone. -tonic water. it's for my son. i just needed a moment to myself. is everything all right? i should be getting back to my boy. -if there's something wrong with him, perhaps i can be of assistance. i happen to be a scientist. that's kind. but i'm afraid there's nothing you can do. my boy is going to die. -what's wrong with him? he has the consumption, they say. tuberculosis. he's been like this on and off for about a year now. he always wanted to see the american west. -our doctor thought a constitutional might do him some good. it hasn't, clearly. you know, there are medicines that... the doctor here says he has a day... maybe two, if he's lucky. does he look lucky to you, mister... -i don't know your name. it's martin. hello, young man. we call him bertie. bertie. -your mother tells me you wanted to come out west. can't imagine you've seen much of it yet. i want to ride a stagecoach. well, in that case... i encourage you to get better. -my mum... she's not sure i will. well, then you must prove your mother wrong... so you can ride that stagecoach. one of mine is dead. and this here town's gonna pay. now, who the hell are you supposed to be? -john wayne... salvation's new sheriff. and this here town is under my protection. well, you being new and all, you don't know about the arrangement that we got. see, me and my boys, we ride into town, we take whatever we want. -in exchange for what? not killing nobody. well, that sounds reasonable and all, but arrangement's over. arrangement's over, boys. they teach you numbers where it is you're from? -'cause the way i see it, there's only one of you and a whole mess of us. you get out of town, and you don't come back, or the next bullet goes in your eye. i got sharpshooters all around. you really want to test me? let's ride, boys. -hyah! nice, haircut. let's not oversell it. running a bad guy out of town's always been on my bucket list. -"bucket list"? a list of things one hopes to accomplish before they die. well, you better hope it's a real short list, string bean. we can handle the stillwater gang. well, you're all just tearing up the 1870s, aren't you? -stillwater and his gang's like a hornets' nest, and your friends here keep poking at it. they saved the town from being raided, man. today, but what about tomorrow... or the day after that? for a bunch of time travelers, you don't seem to understand the future much. the day will come when you'll all leave... and salvation will end up like calvert. -what's a calvert? a closed matter. a word, mr. hex? i believe you've all done enough for one day. well, now i definitely want to know what a calvert is. -then it's a good thing we have access to a supercomputer. gideon? calvert was a town in oklahoma circa 1868. "was"? you know, there's something weird going on with your face. -what? you're smiling. i didn't know you could do that. well, don't tell anyone my secret. it's just all of this... it's so pure, so simple. -i'd say i miss simple, but i guess you have to experience something first to miss it. i know what you mean. i've been having more and more memory flashes lately, and i'm not entirely sure why. well, if this woman was a friend of yours in a past life, hopefully she'll have another piece for your puzzle. i feel like i'm being drawn to this place. -which way? there. you know, stealing's against the law. i'm the sheriff of these here parts. how did you know i was appropriating this medicine? -that was my fault, professor. et tu, gideon? i suppose this is going to earn me a lecture on the perils of upsetting the timeline by introducing futuristic medicine to the 19th century. well, it seems you've already given it to yourself. except this isn't futuristic medicine. -i've had gideon fabricate simple streptomycin for me. excuse me. which won't be used in medical treatments for another 70 years. this is about a boy in town who's dying of an easily curable disease. just as you couldn't turn your back on jeb stillwater and his gang, i can't turn mine on this boy and his mother. -except dr. palmer is using 19th-century technology to deal with stillwater, whereas you... just spare me the lecture, captain hunter. you, of all people... this isn't about the mission, martin! do you not recall happened when dr. palmer left a bit of his suit back in 1975 and nearly destroyed central city? -that was an accident. i'm not talking about our mission or dr. palmer's technological gaffe. calvert... that town clearly holds some emotional resonance for you, judging from the looks you've been exchanging with mr. hex. how do you know it's a town? gideon? -calvert, oklahoma... what happened to you there, rip? and why is it so important to you? because the past is prologue. it's not uncommon for criminal posses such as mr. stillwater's to sack and pillage towns which they find uncooperative. so stillwater's done this before? -in the case of calvert, it was quentin turnbull's doing. but it was my fault. i'd come to calvert on a mission from the time masters. this was years before my son jonas was born. jonas... -did you name your son after hex? after my mission was completed, i felt unable to leave. i'd grown so attached to this era... a victim of the same time drift you experienced in 1958. but obviously you left at some point. -left? i had to tear myself away from the time period for fear that i would never see my then-future wife, miranda, ever again. turnbull attacked calvert the very next day. so... you can understand why i must act. no, martin, i don't. -as i said before, this is advanced medicine unsuitable to the period, to say nothing of what this boy's survival might do to the timeline. be that as it may, i refuse to live with the regret i see on your face right now. the information mr. stein got from the barkeep paid out. -i know where the stillwater gang's holed up. all right. let's ride. up high. you coming, rip? -that's what i thought. i wonder why she lives alone all the way out here. because... i value my privacy! wait, wait, wait. -don't you remember me... from the saloon back in salvation? i remembered you, you wigged-out little girl. if i'd wanted to talk to you then, i would have talked to you then. i ain't fixing to talk to you now. now, get off of my land! -listen, we're not trying to start any trouble. do you want that pretty little mouth of yours filled with lead? your friend has a colorful personality. i ain't got friends. i keep to myself. -she's right. she wasn't my friend. i was her. we sat for that picture at the county fair, 1830. he looked like such a gentleman. -what was his name? hannibal. hannibal hawkes. and what happened? was it savage? -what is this? it looks familiar. that was ours in our first life. i remember. we crossed with savage in jefferson city. -he had it with him. we escaped with it and our lives. do you still have it? we lost it to bandits about a year later. we heard that the pinkertons were after the same bandits, but we just... -hey. what is it? objects present at the moment of my... our first death can be used to kill savage. so, if i can get my hands on that bracelet, then... you're going to try to kill savage with a bracelet? -you need to stop. stop what? fighting our destiny. ain't destiny what brought you here? what part of destiny is she fighting? -all of it. we get reborn. we find hannibal... carter... then savage finds us, and then we die. that's... that's the way it is. -it's the way it's always gonna be. i don't believe that. well, i have a few more years on you. you can't break the cycle. that's why i live out here, alone. -for the rest of your life? well, i guess i had to figure that out the hard way. i was still a young woman when savage left me a widow. instead of waiting for him to find me and kill me so that i could love my hannibal in the next life, i tried to find love in this one. -talk about a curse. what happened? he was a good man, but he wasn't a soul mate. it was like fate was trying to break us apart. eventually, fate broke both our hearts. -so i made a promise to myself that i wasn't gonna do that to a person again. i'm... i'm sorry to hear that. no, i'm who's sorry... to have to be the one to let you know that you're never going to be able to love anyone else, ever. how much do you know about our previous lives? -i reckon not a lot because you didn't recognize me, so let me tell you that we did love other men... loved them real and pure, but it never ended well, not ever. tragedy or heartbreak... that's how it always ends if the man's not carter. we could've used sara on this roundup. a lady? you crazy? -just remember, we're here to arrest stillwater, not kill him. he always this much of a stick in the mud? yes. how? it's a miracle. -oh, it's... it's not a miracle, i can assure you. uh, m-mrs. neal... sarah. when the illness is gone, i need you to promise me that you'll take what's left of the medicine and burn it, vials and all. -do you understand? yes. yes, i shall do it. sarah... i wish you well. -thank you. i really must be going. oh, damn. these boys got some stones. jeb stillwater, you are under arrest. -you have the right to remain silent. you have the right to an attorney. there won't be miranda rights for another 100 years. fall back! fall back! -jax! we got to go! not without jax! well, we got stillwater. it means we got leverage. -live to fight another day or die tonight... your choice. hyah! where is stillwater? he's knocked out cold in the med bay. well, this is a simple matter. -we trade stillwater for jefferson as mr. hex suggested. it's not that simple. if we release stillwater, we're back to square one and the town is still in danger. so is the kid. and we'll figure out a way to get him back without releasing stillwater. -i got a notion. set up a quick draw. you win, get your guy back. you lose, you set stillwater free. and, by "lose," you mean... -get shot and killed. oh, great. pistols at high noon. finally, someone's talking sense. there has to be another way, a better way. -sure. go after stillwater with all your gear from the future. i don't know how that'll sit with your captain, though. mm, let's assume it's a bad idea. so who's standing in the middle of main street? -i'll do it. raymond, now is not the time to indulge your cowboy fantasies. no one else is stepping forward. plus, i'm a decent shot... at least i was with an air rifle. i can't believe you're encouraging this. -you know it's the only way. dr. palmer's going to get himself killed. i think you forfeited your right to an opinion when you refused to leave the ship since we've been here. i had good reason. because of calvert. -yes, but not in the way you think. leaving calvert, leaving this... era is one of the hardest things i've ever had to do. and why is that, captain? a time master is trained to do his work without interference, which means not helping people or being a hero. but as you've seen, dr. palmer, this era offers many opportunities for heroism. -i found it... enticing. and you still managed to leave. something's been bugging me all these years. if you'd have known what turnbull was going to do to calvert, would you have left? that's the thing, jonah. -i did know. i deserve that. you deserve a lot worse. you knew, and you still left? of course i knew. -i was a time master. and therein lay the problem. like raymond, like martin, i felt the pull of heroism, of this era's penchant for being rife with opportunities to make a difference. that's one of the things that called to me, and that is why i had to leave. -because had i stayed... i could no longer have remained a time master. but i'm no longer a time master... which is why i'll face stillwater. wait. i said that i would do it. -and get yourself shot and killed? it's appreciated, but i'd rather you stayed alive. send word to stillwater's posse. i believe high noon is in less than three hours. you want to talk about it? -not really. you don't have to listen to her, you know? is this you not talking about it? no. this is me ignoring you saying you don't want to talk about it. -look, i get it. things may have gone very wrong for old west you and whoever she loved who wasn't carter. but? but old west you didn't know ray palmer. she didn't love ray palmer. -you do. and you have to live your life. she already lived hers. you think hunter can pull this off? reasonably. -if not, i got dibs on that newfangled revolver of his. you sure about this? well, if anything, it feels good to be out here again, in this era. well, don't get too attached. that is what i keep telling myself. -i'll be drawing for sheriff palmer. how do me and my boys know you're going to keep your word? sheriff palmer's a straight shooter. then he should be the one in the street. jefferson, are you all right? -yeah. did you just shoot somebody for me? yeah. you're welcome. i don't think we're done here yet. -oh, no. they found us. ah, friends! welcome. i think you'll find this slightly more effective than your current sidearm. -yes, i will be wanting that back, by the way. and you'll be needing this. what about revealing our future tech to the locals? it doesn't seem to bother them. shall we? -what about our guns? sorry. grabbed what i could. that's what's up! y'all better stay the hell away from us! -calm down, jefferson. traitor! not possible. i was never on your side. i was on my side. -you'll never win! wake up, pal. we already did. fool. the time masters have initiated omega protocol. -the pilgrim's coming for you, chronos. your deaths are just a matter of time. yeah, yeah. well, that was easy. you're not staying. -are you? me? you know i can't. but this town still needs a sheriff. well, i'm not the law-and-order type... nor the staying-in-one-place type either. -well, we have that much in common at least. at least. be well, jonah. nice thing about my world... for you, it ain't going anywhere. ah, perhaps we will see each other again, my friend. -yeah. i reckon that'd be okay. interesting fella. indeed. this town's seen a lot of interesting. -suppose you got one of those doohickies that erases people's memories or something? no. but... skepticism and disbelief are a far more effective tool. ah. so, if anybody here talks, no one will believe them. -would you, mr. snart? i'm not going to pretend to understand what i saw. i'd prefer that you didn't tell anyone about it either. that goes for you too, young master neal. my last name's wells. -excuse me? his father's surname. herbert george wells. you're h.g. wells. h.g.... -i like that. astonishing. god, it feels so good to be in normal clothes again. the people here need to invent fabric softener asap. is that all? -it's just that you've seemed a little off ever since you came back from your walkabout. ray, i told you... something, but i don't think it's the whole truth. i thought that we decided to be honest with each other. and i am. -i am being honest with you, ray. look, i met a woman, and i learned some things. i told you about killing savage. and the rest... the rest is what she thought, not what i think. i don't have to listen to her. -i love you. i love you too. i think they're waiting for us on the bridge. we should go. so how are you feeling, given your concerns about becoming addicted to this era once again? -i did it to be with those closest to me. i'm doing the same again. so where to now? or, more specifically, when? is there another fragmentation we can hide out in? -unfortunately, matters are not quite so simple. how'd i know you were gonna say something like that? rip's buddies. and yours. the time masters have issued omega protocols on all of us. -that sounds pretty terrible. the worst kind of order they can issue... they've sent the pilgrim after us. who's the pilgrim? the pilgrim is the time masters' most deadly assassin, and she will stop at nothing until each and every one of you are dead. ooh, scary. -pretty sure we can handle ourselves. indeed... which is why she won't be going after the present-day versions of you. she's hunting our younger selves. _ and she won't stop until each and every one of us has been erased from the timeline. -good evening. good evening. terrace house is a show about six strangers, men and women, 6 strangers, men and women, share a house. living together, and we observe how they interact with each other. all that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobile. -there is no script at all. first, natsumi... or princess natsumi, is back from china. she's scared of her after that last episode. it's okay. arman and natsumi head to enoshima. -that's right. they went. yes, they went. you sound like you're reporting the royal family news. "princess natsumi has visited enoshima." -about arisa... arman bitaraf, 25 years old natsumi saito, 26 years old do you really like her? yeah, i do. i want to be in love, too. -that could've been her making an appeal. but later on... i went to shonan. by yourself? minori nakada, 21 years old natsumi saito, 26 years old -of course not! with arman. why? what do you mean? for fun? -it's just sudden. what? sudden? what? it just sounds like you're mad at me. -they're both at fault. it's an accumulation. if they got mad over one thing, then they could reason it out how it happened and solve it. but they're all intertwined. and from there... -the house meeting. that house meeting was scary. i didn't really like the way minori was talking to me. her tone... minori denied it, saying that was not how she meant it. -so that was me just honestly asking. but you kept taking it as criticism. you've just misunderstood each other. arisa ohata, 25 years old so let's not let this happen again. -cheers! if you brush it off like that, the friendship will always remain superficial. this honest exchange of feelings, you clearly see this is how people build relationships. the current mood at terrace house is horrible. horrible. -the worst! and the worst part was, in the middle of the talk, when it was nonchalantly mentioned that arman still likes arisa. so he told you why, right? that he likes arisa, and as a roommate, you'd help. you had that conversation, right? -wow, i wonder where we're gonna start this episode? it'll be scary if it's from the middle of the meeting. it's easy to say, "okay, we're done." to figure out what went wrong or to say who was at fault is the easy way out. if there's something you don't like, no one will know if you don't speak up. -but, like minori, there are people who just aren't that type. which makes it difficult. but if something bothers you, i think it's better to say it in any way you can. if we're going to live together, it's better to voice it. -otherwise, what happened yesterday will happen again. i think it's important to figure it out, but it's a matter of personality. you're the type who wants to get to the bottom of things. no, we're not just talking friendship. that's fine if you're just hanging out for the day. -but living together... why don't you hear her out first, and then respond. the same goes for you. you're interrupting me. not everyone is like you. -i understand that. you do, right? so minori has her own personality. i know that, too. so i'm just asking you to hear her out. -minori wants it to be phrased better, right? but... nacchan's words sound harsh to you. i don't mind that. and i'm not asking her to change. -but the way you say things can be controlled in that moment, right? as far as my personality goes, i don't think the change is something to be forced. i just think, "oh, well." there's no need to change yourself for someone else. -i think so, too. not yourself, just how you word things. how you say it. if we don't compromise a little, there are some areas that won't work out. if we don't try to understand each other, this will happen again. -tatsuya uchihara, 24 years old, hair stylist minori nakada, 21 years old, model arman bitaraf, 25 years old, aspiring firefighter arisa ohata, 25 years old, hat designer hikaru ota, 18 years old, model, construction worker -natsumi saito, 26 years old, model, aspiring actress mishuku, tokyo shabu shabu onyasai you made that "don" thing, right? the poke don? -how did arisa like it? she said it was good. i wish it hadn't been under those circumstances. that's true. you told her your feelings though, right? -i did. why don't you tell her again? i do want to ask her. the next time i ask her out for dinner, i'll ask how she really feels about me. the feelings are there, i think. -seriously? yeah. yeah, for real. why don't you go on a date with someone? either way, there has to be more conversation. -but i guess going out to eat would work. a date is a way to get to know them, right? that's true. what about the fireman thing? or work, i mean... -i don't have anything from the place in kamakura right now. wanna come work at my place? the construction company. i can work with you? yeah. -seriously? yeah, together. like tom sawyer? yeah. sounds good. -yeah. it'll be fun. it'll start either this week or next week. the project in nakano. for real? -then... you'll do it? will you ask for me? you'll come? yeah. -i'll lend you the outfit then. it'll be fun working with you. this is the first time the three of us are having breakfast together. we're never home. we all have different schedules. -you're both off today? yes. no, i've got to go to aoyama for 4:00 p.m. oh, your audition. thanks for the food, minori. -thank you. of course. thanks for the food. sure. it was delicious. -what's this? this here, what is it? oh, it's meat. meat? uchi got it as a gift. -wow. huge steaks. it's in a wooden box. oh, wow! look at this! -amazing, right? wow! oh, it's hidagyu. i don't know how to cook it. just salt and pepper would be probably enough for this. -that's true. wow. maybe cooked medium... yeah. or even rare. -that's true. wow. wow, uchi. i'm going now. bye. -thanks for the food. i just heard today that minori's leaving. at the end of february. what? when did she say that? -i just heard today. she's going to leave when she graduates university. are they related somehow? not really. it's good timing? -yeah. what'll you do when minori leaves? i'd probably leave then, too. if you do, would you get an apartment and live together? i don't know yet. -i might live on my own. when you have different priorities... you have different priorities? yeah. well, our views towards work are different. -i want to work hard right now. she's fine with minimal finances as long as she can have a normal life. kind of like that. it would've been great if we were just friends. but if we're going to be in a relationship... then i think... we should have similar goals. -yeah, you could motivate each other. at first, she quit her other job and said she'd focus on her modelling. but lately she's either just at home or going out. i've been... a little concerned about that lately. we've talked about it before, but she just says she knows what she's doing. -she's just living off modeling, right? yeah. or is she? she said she can get by. so then she's here when she's off. -i can't get by with just modeling. on her computer or watching tv... and she says she's... perfectly happy doing that. that's fine if that's the case. oh, it's nacchan. -who'd you think it was? you couldn't tell? you have bad vision? no, it's 20/20. 20/20 and you couldn't tell? -20/20 is pretty good. it's perfect. oh, yeah. long time no see. long time no see. -the three of us had breakfast for the first time this morning. well, more like lunch... which three? minori and asari, not asari... asari? -that's bad. i meant arisa. what do you girls talk about? it's light stuff. we avoid mentioning the other day. -i see. minori's home, right? yeah. do the two of you talk? not really. -you don't get along? we're not close. well, you're probably just different. do you know about minori? that she's leaving? -yeah. so, before then... i'd like for our relationship to change. you scared me. going to sleep? -no. i wanted to talk. about? you said you're leaving, right? so i am going to leave, too... -together? yeah, at the same time. end of february, is it? yeah. end of february. -does it need to be timed with your school? there's a month left. if there's no merit being here... i thought maybe i could only enjoy this while i was still a student. that's... -not right? yeah, maybe not. what's not right about it? i thought maybe... it'd be good to have some kind of goal here... so that it would benefit you. but to just rely on this environment or to just live easy feels wrong. -what do you want me to do? you want me to just leave? i'm not sure. but i don't want you to just pass time here. i'm not here just because it's fun, and i'm not just lying around. -how are things with nacchan? it's awkward. right? you're used to withdrawing and just giving up. you tend to avoid things that take effort. -maybe that's something you can work on. if there's an opportunity for growth, maybe that's a good thing. you quit your job so that you could focus on modeling. but i feel like you were more focused when you were working. i think right before the girls award show was when you were working the hardest. -why did you want to be with me? you're easy to be with. but i'm not the type to motivate. no, you're not. is being with me different than you imagined? -no, it's not that. so this next month, maybe you can think about what you can do to try and show some growth. i think about that, too. about growth... i think it's your attitude. -why don't you listen to me? that's what i think. i understand. i'll think over what you said. is it too much to deal with? -what? is it too much to deal with? are you just saying that to end this talk? i did think that. i figured. -that's the part, i think, is bad. i got upset because i tried to talk, and you didn't listen to me. that's what i mean. it's that. just shut up and watch. -okay. i'll shut up and watch. this is messed up. this is a little... when they were having breakfast, -natsumi made... some effort and tried to be friendly. she did. she found the meat and said, "what's this?" i felt her effort. we all did. -but after such a big argument, the power of meat is amazing. the power of hidagyu. the power of hidagyu. there was an english label. the labels were fancy! -yeah, they were. things between minori and tatsuya are a mess. he clearly said they didn't match. it was good before, but now its... different. well, for minori herself and her life, maybe a little change on her part... is necessary. -she must be pretty lazy when the cameras aren't on. she's at home all the time. when something she doesn't like happens, she shuts down. she has that kind of attitude. i think uchi has noticed that about her over the last little while. -i wonder who hikaru will ask out? arisa. arisa, of course. "you should," is what aman meant? -while eating shabu-shabu meat, he said, "you should ask her out." he did say that. arman is worse than pepper. need me to tear? oh, you did it. -i did. i'm back. welcome home. oh, meat. you cooked the meat? -do you want some? did you eat already? just a bit. do you want some good meat? i'll pass even though i wanna eat. -but will he be upset if we use it all? i'm sure it's fine. is it just the two of you? yeah. nacchan, when's your next day off? -my day off? near the end of january. do you want to go have dinner? dinner? sure, let's go. -are you sure? if you're busy-- no, i'm free in the evenings. i'm back. welcome back. -what? where were you? i was at the gym. i see. are you making dinner? -i thought i'd cook uchi's meat. it looks delicious. it's a luxury. you should leave two pieces at least. small ones. -leave some? but it'll go bad if he doesn't eat it. maybe we should eat it. what's your plan tomorrow, hikaru? i have construction work. -oh, starting next week, i'll be joining hikaru. oh, yeah, arman's coming. really? i called my boss today. you're going to wear them, too? -the parachute pants? parachute pants? is that what you call them? i don't know. they're like parachutes. -super long. i saw hikaru in them once. it's really embarrassing to wear them on the train. why? they're cool. -you look good in them. really? it's huge. it smells really good. it smells good. -yeah. i think that's good. is it? watch out. looks amazing. -where are you going? i was gonna watch a movie. got it. you're not eating? it's okay. -bon appétit. bon appétit. thanks, uchi. thank you. bon appétit. -bon appétit. bon appétit. is it good? it's delicious. wow, is this for real? -that's all you want? for real? i'm eating most of it, is that okay? can i eat it? it's not my favorite. -this? yeah, it's a little fatty. yeah, it's got a lot of fat. samezu, tokyo peary gates shoot -how long have you lived there? it's been... only a month still. is there anyone you're attracted to? there's a guy from hawaii. his name is arman. -we get along, but he's always home. i wish... i wish he'd work more. he doesn't work? off and on. -really? great personality though. i wouldn't recommend a guy like him. it should be someone who works. and the new guy who arrived at the same time as me... his personality is totally my type. -manly, but a little boyish, straightforward... but he's 18. so young! eighteen, huh? if he was 27 or something, i would've totally fell for him. ready. -cute. nice. i'm back. welcome home. you're alone? -yeah. hi. welcome back. i mean, i'm back. welcome home. -oh, there's chamisul here. chamisul? it's a korean sake. you finished the meat. finally. -what's wrong? is everything okay? what? i don't know. i don't know, but he was quiet. -hi. welcome back. the meat is all gone. about that... oh, yeah. -yeah, about that... i wanna say something... oh, about that? i'm kind of bothered by that. you're mad? -yeah, i'm pretty upset. where did the meat go? i had some of the meat. we had it for dinner last night. why? -i didn't have any. why? there wasn't anything else to make dinner with. isn't that a little strange? i'm sorry. -that meat was from a client who came all the way from nagoya to visit blast. they run a yakiniku restaurant. they liked their haircuts and our service, and they went back to nagoya happy. and they sent the meat from nagoya. they even wrote a letter saying how to eat it. -explaining exactly how we should cook it. they specifically wrote a letter about how to eat it. i told you that this was from a client. and that it was from nagoya. i have a relationship with my clients. -there's value in the gift. i'm sorry we ate it without permission. of course i'd be upset. it's hard to draw the line for things in the fridge. that's not what i'm talking about. -it was obviously different. the line doesn't matter here. i'm very sorry. whatever. he's mad we ate it yesterday? -i hadn't told him about it. i get where he's coming from. i get it, but... we shouldn't have. he should've just told us before. -but we should've asked him first, too. maybe we were wrong. we were definitely wrong. usually, you would... leave a note, "don't touch." no, we were wrong. -it's not enough to apologize. that's all we can do. that's all i can do. i'll apologize. but he's so mad. -this is so entertaining. i didn't know these things happened. you've got to be kidding. in the year 2016. you've got to be kidding. -this is new for terrace house. this incident has been recorded. the meat crime topped everything. the meat crime? people really get angry at meat crimes. -i thought, "no way." when uchi seemed unhappy, and the camera cut to the empty meat box, i thought, "no, that can't be it." i think we all felt that. we all thought, "no way." -"that can't be it." i mean, no one would write a script as, "the meat crime." no way. it's so insignificant. -it would've been vetoed. yeah, like who cares. the meat crime would never happen. i wonder what he'll think after he watches this episode? "minori said she didn't like it." -she said it was fatty. that's right. oh, no. and the client might see it. and the line from the 18-year-old. -"if you don't want us to eat it, you should leave a note." hikaru is right, though. he's right. there was a scene like this in under one roof. the brother got mad about his pudding being eaten, saying, "you guys ate it without telling me." -there was a scene like that. he should've approached it that way. that's right. there was no need for such a serious tone. i understand uchi values his client and their thoughtfulness, but everyone else didn't know that. -the way he approached it was too dark. way too dark. yeah, dark. he's not saying anything wrong, but... but this... -this... what should i do? i'm going to crack up during the scene when minori apologizes. "i'm sorry, but i ate the meat." so, right now, i hope she goes to the japanese-style room, and i hope they start talking about meat again. -like, "so, how'd you cook it?" wouldn't that be hilarious? yeah. "that's not how you're supposed to cook it." "but it was so fatty..." -"did you add oil?" -"i did." "it's a teflon pan, so you didn't need to. it's quality meat; it has fat already." "i'm so sorry." "that's not enough." -that's totally what he might say. "your apology won't bring back the meat." she should just go buy some meat. i really hope we end with that scene. it's been so serious lately. -a light-hearted crime... if the meat crime is his plan to distract natsumi and minori from their fight, and if it's a part of uchi's master plan, i'd be really impressed. that's true! ah, a common enemy to allowing bonding. how cool is uchi! -that definitely did not happen! they might break up over this. her boyfriend got mad because she ate his meat. you'd be okay with this? if it were me getting lectured about meat in front of everyone... -well, he's upset on behalf of his client. that's right. but if you're asked why you broke up... break up caused by meat. break up caused by meat. -"yeah, i ate his meat." and if he's asked why they broke up, he'd say that she ate my meat... tori-chan's cracking up. you shouldn't laugh. it's gonna come back to you. -tori-chan can't stop. that was a treat. seriously, it's my first time witnessing a break up caused by meat. uchi. sorry about before. -it's a mess in here. i totally thought it was for everyone to share. no, it wasn't. but... was it something to get so mad about? you were pretty upset. -i know it's just meat to you guys. but it was something that meant a lot to me. so for you guys, just to go and eat it like it was nothing made me really upset. like if you got something from someone special, and if it was treated carelessly... yeah. -it's the same feeling. i worked really hard. and it was my client's recognition and appreciation of my hard work. so, for me, it meant a lot. i understand that you didn't know. -so maybe it couldn't be helped. but i had told minori and she still ate it. i'm really starting to get angry at her. she didn't tell me after you guys ate it... or even before. and i came home and found the meat was gone. -isn't there something wrong there? yeah. i was mad that it was all gone when i got home. either way, i'm sorry. i need to zone out for a bit. -i don't want to think about anything. i'll get too upset. i'm going to the store. you want anything? i'm okay for now. -a bento or anything? you haven't eaten, right? i'm okay. goodnight then. i'm sorry. -i'm really sorry. i know it's all i can say, but i'm sorry. i can't calm down right now, no matter what you say. goodnight. do you, dicte svendsen, take bo skytte to be your lawfully wedded husband? -i'm just afraid for nina. hello john. are you his ex-wife? yes. i'm only coming home tomorrow. -lying to your wife? i just don't want to worry her. i was taken hostage. they want three million dollars. no! -wait, bo. should i arrange the money? tell me what happened. i'm so afraid that we'll never see one another again. stay! -don't leave me. hello, wagner. government troops went in last night and killed a man. they've sent his id. bo's dead. -should i do it? it's not him. what do you mean? it's not him. no it's not. -it's bo's jacket, but not bo. bendtsen! it's not bo. who is it then? perhaps the swede from aftenposten. -johan. try to get him identified. call the swedish police. where can bo be? i don't know. -we must contact the embassy and the local police. he may have escaped and be alive. they found only one body and the hostage-takers have not heard of him. right? -yes. so it may be. it's fantastic! i think he can handle himself. stay strong. -he can handle himself. yes. you haven't slept in a week. i can't sleep now, anne. i'll take it. -no, you go to sleep. is that okay with you? yes, but i can't understand it. do you think he's coming home? yes, i think so. -they tend to keep me awake. did you get dicte to fall asleep? are you not tired? glad you got dicte to fall asleep. i don't think they look like you. -but they do look like torsten? but he's not the father. but they do anyway. let's see. they have no patience and very short legs. -have you seen the file on mum's real father? christian oxholm? i'll get it. check this out. a handsome man. -has she talked to him? she always looks at his photo, but doesn't dare call him. she's probably afraid of being rejected. said the psychologist's daughter. will nina stay in aarhus? -yes. great for alexander. sure. do you have a problem with it? the problem is that she'll be working here at the station. -what? she's not an actor? she's a cop. we worked together and became a couple at a summer party. so you used to party then? -yes. i was a real party-goer at one time. i was like seventeen. hello. have you heard anything about bo skytte? -no, no-one knows where he is. keep me updated. nina is coming back. yes, it's wonderful. do you not hate her any more? -i like her. i've moved on. you're lying. she's married. we go through what we know. -kim? i've talked to a local newspaper there. they do not believe that bo could get to beirut without being detected. it's 70km and mostly desert. doctors without borders, then? -a norwegian doctor may have seen him outside a refugee camp. but he spoke english. call anyway. and kazim has two guys who are looking. anything else? -hello? no i... no, i do not think you have him. they say they have bo. there are a lot of rumours. -we need proof of life. we need to know if you actually have bo. of course they haven't. they're lying. we may say that we want to talk to him. -they're bluffing. they called and said they had left bo. come here quick, steffen and wagner! we've got him! my darling bo, are you okay? -hey, bo. hello. i'll take care of the negotiations. i'm doing everything so you can come home soon. okay? -good. hello, ziad karam. we know who you are. so does the syrian army. you're running out of time. -it's probably best if you negotiate with me now. okay? bo? now you must trust me. it will be hard, but you must do it. -do exactly as i say. tell them that they can get 800,000 dollars. they said 1.5 ... take it easy, dicte. tell them there. -then they'll kill me. no. just do as i say. you can get 800,000 dollars. no! -this is not how to negotiate. bo, tell them that they can only get 700,000 dollars. no. shut up! did you hear what i said? -look at me, bo. damn it, dicte! take her away. fuck! i'm here, bo. -did you hear what i said? they'll get 700,000 dollars now. trust me. 700,000 dollars. do it now! -you can get 700,000 dollars. it's our final offer. negotiations stop here. mr. wagner. you just killed a man. -what did they say? you've ruined everything, right? it is important to show them that we have the upper hand and pressure them. and what did they say when you pressured them? did they not say that they would kill him? -they have agreed to 700,000 dollars. we have an agreement. do you have a contract of 4.2 million danish crowns? yes. the handover takes place at the syrian border. -we leave tomorrow. fantastic. then it's almost over. except we're short half a million. are you going to rob a bank or something? -have you asked christian oxholm? who's that? my biological father. his company has sales of 250 million. talk to him. -it's a good idea. no. i can't just go there and borrow half a million. why not? maybe he's kind. -he's been with my mother. it's more likely that he's crazy. what did you do when your son needed a new kidney? i offered him one. how do you do in your family. -are you supposed to just take advantage of family? dicte! come in! hi, i would like to talk with christian oxholm. one moment. -hi. thank you for coming. hello, mogens. hi. hello. -my name is dicte svendsen. do you have five minutes? if it's about work then you should talk to my secretary. it's private. the house is full of guests. -i'm your daughter. so you're anna's daughter? yes. i was born in march 1971. did you know my mother in 1970? -yes, it was a long time ago. i know. i understand if it comes as a shock. why did you come here? this is going to sound crazy. -my husband is a photographer at the daily and was commissioned in syria when he was taken hostage. i've sold everything i own to get together the ransom- but we're missing half a million kroner. i wonder if i could borrow them from you. darling? -hi. who are you? it's dicte, from the catering company. the canapés were fantastic. they're so delicious. -i think we're wanted in there. i'll be right there. bye. i am a wealthy man, and people have tried to get money out of me before. but to claim that you're be my daughter is insane. -please go. damn. he doesn't recognise me. lend me your blouse. yes. -do you have high heels? yes. thanks. is this stupid? yes, but that's okay. -what the hell are you doing? one moment. the envelope is evidence that you know that i exist. if you do not lend me money i'll do a "thomas vinterberg" - and read the letter to all your guests. -in the letter, you tried to force a 16 year old girl to have an abortion. over the years you should have paid 675,000 in maintenance. with a loan of half a million, you get off cheap. you could say that. i got a half million. -fantastic! have they called and said we were going to meet? yes, it will be the day after tomorrow at the hotel al murjan in the city of zhale. we fly from billund at ten o'clock and arrive at four. then it's a few hours away. -i'll call you as soon as we get there. i'm going along. it's best if you don't. i don't care. you're too emotionally involved. -it's my husband. it could all go horribly wrong. i want to feel that i did everything i could. i couldn't live with it if you fucked it up. she's right. -all right then. i'm coming along. okay. i'm staying home. hi. -hello john. are you on the way out? no, i've just cancelled. i'm too tired. come in. -can you take care of alexander for a few days? of course. would you like something to drink? no thanks. i've found somewhere to stay. -it's not on my street, is it? well, actually. no, of course not. i know you think i'm intruding but i promise to show respect. this is after all what's best for alexander. -do you not think we can make it work? well, aarhus is a big city. please. thanks. i'll take it. -the steak with bearnaise sauce and fries. don't you want anything? we can share. what are you saying? i'll just watch tv. -or ... no, i'm going home to pack. but thanks for the help. i promise i'll get him home. of course. -it'll be fine. yes. bye. who was it? eva. -she's completely distraught. understandably. i'm also scared shitless. i understand that. what if something happens to you?

right? do you promise that? -they told you, dicte. yes. that's how it works. okay? okay. -in the morning, at nine o'clock. yes. you have to let me handle this. if they fool us, they'll destroy their own business. dicte. -shit, i was scared. so glad you came here. how's it going? it's fine. it's going according to plan ... but it feels like i can't trust anyone. -something's not right. maybe i'm just paranoid. you know the mentality and the language. can you find out who they are? i'll do what i can. -but wagner doesn't know you're here ... good. hi. hi. i can't sleep. -what can you order? juice or juice. are we properly prepared for tomorrow, wagner? we can't do much more. we may say that god will save us. -god will save us? yes. here it's inshallah. if god wants. we must give ourselves over to his hands- -and hope that the universe wants the best for us. are you religious, wagner? that's how i survive being a police officer. i believe that there is a reason for everything. i was in church the other day. -i asked god for help. i'm glad you came with me. did he answer? yes. yes. -i understand. okay. bye. what is it? they changed the meeting place. -where is it now? a shop near the market. why? what does it mean? it's normal. -they want to be sure that we'll be alone. we can't rely on mr. smith. he had no socks on yesterday? now you stop. you have to keep your emotions out of it. -they decide. it's all about business. yes. jump in. are you coming? -in here. hey my friends. hello. where's bo? may i see the money? -the same amount is in the other suitcase. where's bo? where is my husband? take it easy. i'll show you. -come on. this way. over there. in the black car. i don't see him. -wait. i'll ask them to open the window. do you see? it's bo, wagner. are you sure? -i'm sure. give him the money. here you are. go. get your man. -go. it's okay. bo! bo! where's the money? -we gave it to mr. smith. where is it? mr. smith has it. we left the money with your negotiator. is there a problem? -he called you, right? ring mr smith. he knows... what's happening? you get your man when we get the money. -what's happening? mr. smith took all the money. what are you saying? what do we do now? what the hell are we doing? -they left with bo again! shut up! we have to think about it. hi, it's me. we need your help. -right away. what have you found? who are you talking to? good. we will direct you. -who are you talking to? kazim. i asked him to come here. is kazim here? he is here and he knows where mr. smith lives. -we'll take the car. where is he? he lives in the white house. he intends to leave with his family. stay. -listen to me. i'm a police officer. you must listen to me. we... where is the money?

-is this all the money? yes. please. they'll kill me. we're leaving. -would you really shoot a little boy ? ! are you totally sick in the head? is he more important than bo? come on, kazim. -from now on i decide what to do. they have set a new meeting place. we will meet them in the bekaa valley directly. there they are! let me do it now, kazim. -okay? this is it. here's the money. come on. damn. -they're counting the money. what if they notice that there is no money? why the hell did you give him money? how much did you give him? nothing. -just under a thousand dollars. come. no. come on. stop. -bo! quiet. i'm talking about the negotiator, he took the money. i know the language, wagner. i'll do it. -explain that we do not have anything to do with it. the negotiator took the money. stop now, kazim. take it easy. you can get my watch. -stop. take the watch. come on, kazim. wagner? what's happening? -wagner. text: pickarooney i have heard myself say that a house with a death in it can never again be bought or sold by the living. it can only be borrowed from the ghosts that have stayed behind. to go back and forth, letting out and gathering back in again. -worrying over the floors in confused circles. tending to their deaths like patchy, withered gardens. they have stayed to look back for a glimpse of the very last moments of their lives. but the memories of their own deaths are faces on the wrong side of wet windows, smeared by rain. impossible to properly see. -there is nothing that chains them to the places where their bodies have fallen. they are free to go, but still they confine themselves, held in place by their looking. for those who have stayed, their prison is their never seeing. and left all alone, this is how they rot. -i did not know it at the time, but the house that stands at the end of teacup road in the town of braintree, massachusetts, was such a house. a house that holds a seat for the memory of a death. the staying place of a rotted ghost. at the time of my arrival in the first part of august, the house was occupied by iris blum, the author of 13 novels. the kinds of thick and frightening books that people buy at airports and supermarkets. -of her books, i have read fewer than nine pages of only a single one... and all the while suppressing a very bad taste. i am not even sure of the title. from where i am now, i can be sure of only a very few things. the pretty thing you are looking at is me. -of this i am sure. my name is lily saylor. i am a hospice nurse. three days ago, i turned 28 years old. i will never be 29 years old. -it's... she's just above, the bedroom on the right in the front of the house. hello, ms. blum. my name is lily. i'm going to be staying with you from now on. -i hope that's all right. no snooping, you. polly! i am very seldom required to wear white by my employers. but, anyway, i always do. -it has always been that wearing white reassures the sick that i can never be touched. even as darkness folds in on them from every side... closing like a claw. wake up, spaz. then go to sleep. i don't know what. -is bart in there with you? you slut. is he awake? tell him hi. no, no, no! -don't tell him who it is, just... what are you guys doing? you guys are lame. nothing. couldn't sleep. -the first night in a place always weirds me out, you know. kitchen. the phone is in the kitchen. what do you want? it's got one of those ridiculously long cords that your mom used to have. -remember that? well, it's a real old house, so... i don't know. they're thicker? the walls are thicker. -"creepy"? why would you say that to me right now, in the middle of the night when i'm here all alone? i'm okay. no, he hasn't called. and he doesn't have this number. -i can't imagine what i'd say if he did. i mean, what does a person say? "remember that time we almost but then didn't get married? 'cause i do." no, i don't think he will, either. -can we not talk about scott right now, please? yeah. it'll be good to be here. good to be away. just good to kinda put myself away for... -what are you guys doing? well, that sounds pretty yummy right about now. yeah. i know. i'm sure i'll end up cooking a bunch for ms. blum. -no. it's blum, stupid. not ms. plum. this isn't clue. well, maybe i'll bake a pie. -i think i saw some blackberry... jesus! hello? hello? the phone just flew out of my hand. -the cord not as long as it seems? or i dropped it, like a stupid idiot. i'm gonna give myself a heart attack. anyhoo... what's new with you? there. -it was just there, even then. on my very first night in the house. a death. but i cannot see it. not yet. -but i can feel it shifting its weight from bare foot to bare foot. stepping around softly behind a curtain of dark. pacing back and forth in the cage of my chest. "dark moon flower." "underwater housewife." -so that's where you're hiding. they told me there wasn't one of you, and i don't mind telling you, i was a little worried. come on. well, no need to be rude. ms. blum. -you scared me. well, let's get you back. now, i'm thinking it's not the best idea for you to be getting up without me from now on. can we agree to that? polly? -um... no... my name is lily, ms. blum. we met a few hours ago. i'm going to be staying here with you from now on. -my polly, tell me you missed me just a little bit too. you'll give me as much as that, won't you? it can't be too much longer now. because time spent in a house with a death in it passes more quickly, you know. eleven months. -passing like the night. susie. sally. candice and jane. scary. -this is how you rot. france. was the drive all right? yes. the summer season finally done and everyone going the other way over bridges. -and how is the lady of the house today? she's comfortable. taking a nap, as she usually does at this time. and the wall, you say? yes. -it was fine when i first moved in, but now i think it's gotten much worse in the past few weeks. possibly a mold of some kind. likely there is some plumbing behind the wall, a pipe that runs up to the bathroom. the laundry room is just above, i... -i sometimes hear the water going up and a kind of knocking sound. you say you haven't seen it anywhere else? no. only right here. well... -as to whether or not the estate will approve the cost for cosmetic repairs, that is another thing altogether. i'm not sure i'd agree it's cosmetic. well, cosmetic as opposed to structural. the flesh and not the bones. well, i just thought that for ms. blum's respiratory... -for my respiratory to be... breathing mold. well, as you know, it is ms. blum's stated desire to remain in this house until the occasion of her death and that all medical care be provided here on the premises regardless of financial burden to the estate. and you've been here nearly a year already. well, given her advanced age and present condition, it seems fair to assume that your arrangement would not extend beyond another year or two at maximum, wouldn't you say? -overall, i'd say her physical health is rather good. um, so, i'm sure i couldn't say. no, no. of course. of course. -that's... good. but, um... isn't she all there is to the estate? she doesn't have any children, no family. not a single visitor in all the time i've been here. -true, but ms. blum has designated the property as the centerpiece for a grant foundation to be awarded after her death to a worthy woman author as a home and work space at no cost. "house of stories," she calls it. well, it'll have to be fixed up then, for whoever. well, it will be, when the time comes. but the estate can't pay for everything. -here we are. they've been out in the past and will give us a better idea. was there anything else? no. yes. -do you know anything about anyone named polly? polly? polly who? ms. blum insists on calling me polly. she never calls me anything else. -of course, it's a natural thing for someone with her condition. it's just that a confusion like that is usually with the memory of someone significant. not just a no one. well, there is polly from ms. blum's novel, the lady in the walls. -easily her best known. you haven't read it. heavens to betsy, no, i haven't. no, um, i scare too easily. i... -yes, that's right. well, there is a not-very-good movie, if you prefer. no. no. that would be much, much worse. -i'd likely run down to the road screaming. and who'd look after miss blum? that particular novel was most notable for ms. blum's deliberate choice... to leave off the presumably horrific ending. though she always insisted it wasn't a choice at all, but rather an obligation. an obligation to be true to the subject. -to polly. i don't understand. well, i don't want to give it away. but, mr. waxcap, i... i'll never read it. -i'd hate to keep you. the house was built in 1812 by the two bare hands of a local man, as a gift to his new bride. the couple was last seen taking their marriage vows in the center of town. and the very next day, they were gone... disappearing before placing a single piece of furniture. the townspeople shook their heads and clucked their tongues. -"some people," they'd say, "just get spooked." well, well. you're not so big and tough. the pretty thing you are looking at now is me. my name is polly parsons and i came into the world just as i left it. -i'm not more than a few minutes old and my mother is already dead, her forehead slick with sweat, and cool with the pallor of icebox butter. i am tied to my mother's body by a terrible rope that is a shiny, twisted midnight blue-black. the doctor is holding me up to the light. but now i am dead. and yes, i left the world just as i came into it. -i am wearing nothing but blood. no. nuts. polly! i am as white as a sail. -i tell this often to myself. i tell myself that nothing gets on me. but it does me little good. the words pour right through. i am too full of holes. -grow up, you dumb old scaredy-cat. it's just a bunch of silly old make-believe typed words on paper. "dear reader, you should know that the true account that follows in this book was told to me directly by polly parsons, the young woman who lived it but, alas, did not survive it. -true to our heroine, my heroine, i have written down all that she cared to reveal. all but the very ending, which she was either unable or unwilling to tell me herself. or maybe she just couldn't see it anymore." "and even if i was fiendishly tempted, -i have refrained from pressing the subject with her. though it seems safe to assume that, as endings go, polly's was not an especially pretty one. but polly wouldn't tell me herself, and i couldn't have gone and simply made something up. so i have left it off altogether. -out of respect for the dead, you understand. because yes, dear reader, polly parsons, the subject of this book, is quite dead indeed. quite dead but not quite buried. carelessly concealed in a grave too shallow to be rightly called a grave at all. -better to call it a... hiding place. but i've said too much already, and now will leave the rest to polly herself, as was my intention in the first place. iris blum, braintree, massachusetts, 1960." you silly billy. you silly billy. -the walls and windows are as thin as bones. a person could walk right through them. just up and leave this old house. no whammies, no whammies, no whammies. stop. -no whammies, no whammies, no whammies. stop. no whammies, no whammies, no whammies. stop. no whammies, no whammies, no whammies. -stop. this is how you rot. it's safe, though? i mean, nothing is gonna fall down? and when do you think you can come to do that? -to open it up? to... open up the wall, i mean. yeah, monday is okay. any day is okay. i'm not going anywhere. -i haven't really looked. i... i kind of hate the sight of it. but okay. i can. -i will. okay. thanks. "i now believe polly entirely when she insists that she does not remember what happened to her in the end. i can sometimes see her struggle with the shape of it, more as if trying to remember a song she once heard, and not as she might remember an event. -how does one forget something as essential as that? how does one forget a death? maybe it is the body that remembers. and without the body, there is nothing to hold to." "we make our own ghosts by looking, but pretending not to see... and then forgetting ourselves altogether. -it is a terrible thing to look at oneself and to all the while see nothing. surely this is how we make our own ghosts. we make them out of ourselves." i took one of your books off the shelf in your study. i hope that's all right. -the lady in the walls. had to put it down, though. too scary for me. you know that one, don't you? where did you go, polly? -i didn't go anywhere, ms. blum. i'm here with you, same as i have always been. the same lily saylor of 43 hoover road, altoona... pennsylvania. at your service. -you had so much to say in those first years. when you lived here with me. enough to fill a book. and then... nothing. you turned your back. -you turned your back, and you turned your back so many times... that soon your feet were facing the wrong way altogether. and i had to watch you come into a room... back to front. i did nothing but sit and listen. i made no noises. i welcomed no visitors. -and here, now, you've come back. but only to hurt me, only to show yourself, but not to let me see. no. you hardly resemble yourself. -ms. blum... please. you poor, pretty things whose prettiness holds only one guarantee. learn to see yourself as the rest of the world does, and you'll keep. but left alone, with only your own eyes looking back at you, and even the prettiest things rot. you fall apart like flowers. -the pretty thing you are looking at is me. but it is me that still cannot see any of what is coming. me that doesn't even know where to look. me that can see only the drawer that opens and the claw that closes. the bell that rings and the spots that spread. -the holes that pour through and the cord that stretches. the hammer and the pliers. and the terrible book. and the face of the woman who wrote it all down. the me that can see only the name. -only her name. but the rest of what is coming cannot be seen even as i look right at it. it is a terrible thing to look at oneself and all the while see nothing. hello? i had arrived in the first few days of august, hired to care for ms. blum. -the winter of that year proved to be unseasonably warm, and by february, all that was left of the snow on the sides of the highways had turned mostly black. it rained too much in the spring, and the fruit in the trees hung heavy at the ends of bent branches. the sun in the summer months was unreasonably hot and stung my bare shoulders whenever i let it. i remember thinking that it felt like fall would never come. and then it never did. -hello? polly! polly? i have heard myself say that a house with a death in it can never again be bought or sold by the living. it can only be borrowed from its ghosts. -and so it is. the house that stands at the end of teacup road near the town of braintree, massachusetts. you may borrow it from me. because the memory of a death is a thing that stays, pressed deeply in place like type on paper. even after it has been covered up with nothing left to see. -and still i think i'll stay for one more look at her. this is how i let myself rot. the pretty thing you are looking at... is me. previously... we need to work fast, salvatore. -let's make an alliance. we gotta close the monterosa dealing spot. but that's mine! we'll find a solution to open another dealing spot. i'm not savastano. -what do you want? be slaves all your life? i'm going back to secondigliano. it's not the right time. if i don't move, i can forget naples forever. -secondigliano is my home too. no. patri, i need your help. to do what? to bring back the only one who kept them in line. -you'll be his eyes, his ears and his mouth. don't move, hear me? no bullshit and no one gets hurt. who ordered you? pietro savastano. -he's back. corpocannacalcio toolpath to sd memory 2 hours and 15 minutes subtitle by rgarciapr cavita mornin'. -pitbull, everything okay? how's things, brother? not bad. please, go in. immortal... -hello, don aniello. what a pleasure! thank you for agreeing to see me. thank you for coming to my home. have a seat. -so... what can we do for you? help me prevent another war. ciro just got here. ciro's here! -hi, rosario! you could have said you were seeing don aniello. it went well, that's what counts. i think we're screwin' up, ciro! we can't leave savastano here, we gotta find him and kill him, him and gennaro. -rosario, we went through savastano, conte, now we rule. but to move on, we gotta make money. if not, we go hungry, and hunger calls blood. our people... don't want either. we gotta harness pietro and gennaro. -pitbull! great, guys! work fast! hi, aniello! hi, i'm glad to see you. -you're lookin' good. what's up? i like fruit and especially what your boy's got. nothin' better! i'll tell you straight, i don't like this situation. -my boy, as you call him, has to stay out of this. he does this, nothin' else. giuseppe, i'm first to hope things stay like this, but it takes peace to protect our affairs and keep this boy calm. and you make peace with enemies. i can guarantee safety for gennaro and the immortal. -but i need your word. your boy mustn't screw up or else... it ends up bad for everyone. you have my word. take care, aniello. i know where it is. -okay, giuseppe, see you in an hour. yeah. you told your father i was here? my father's no fool, he knows by now you're living here. besides this, there are hotels, restaurants, franchises... -it took me 20 years to get here, to look down on the world. this is just the start, because rome is our pasture. i know what you're saying. so it's time to decide who the fuck you want to be. thanks to your stuff too we're building an empire here... me and you. -here you're gennaro savastano, no longer don pietro's son, and you can be even bigger than him. that's the future. you already know the past. i need to know who the fuck you want to be. i already made my choice, but i want to face that piece of shit, look him in the eyes, he's gotta see i'm still standing. -i have to be sure you won't pull any shit. if you touch ciro di marzio, they'll shoot you, got it? if that's your idea, you'll come back feet first. i'll go and come back on my own two feet. i look ahead, my future's here in rome with you. -and with azzurra. great. it's all set up. the day after tomorrow, in trieste, just him and me. you sit face-to-face with gennarino. -ciro, it's your head, but if somethin' happens, there'll be an earthquake here too. my head's going nowhere, and the earth won't move either. aniello pastore guarantees, so do his allies, and giuseppe avitabile. he can't touch me. ciro, i don't understand all this. -you're recognizing savastano. i'm talking to gennaro, not pietro. it's the same thing. if it was the same thing, gennaro would be here too. i need your trust, i'm doing what's right. -they accepted this meeting, their hands are tied. we've already won. you didn't say a word! i gotta think before i talk. see you, totò. -this is it. looks like a toy. this toy kills like a gun. they wanted to humiliate me. like i don't count a fuck. -i'd like to face that piece of shit. father and son are the same thing. if so, i wouldn't be in this cesspit. anything i should tell him? trak, is genny here? -haven't seen him. i'll introduce my girlfriends. girls, this is gennaro. hi, happy birthday. alessandra, a pleasure. -veronica. a pleasure. he's not here! wow, it's really great here! is genny here?

happy birthday! come here. gennaro... how's things, trak? -you're lookin' good. oh, yeah? we're all scarred and i'm missing a kidney. come here, c'mon! thanks for coming to my party. -they hurt us, but we're still standing. but your shoes are more comfortable! azzurra! behave, guys! don't worry! -azzurra, these are my best friends: little bird... a pleasure, carmine. hi, azzurra. bomber. -a pleasure. the pleasure's mine. and trak. a pleasure. welcome. -thank you. your girl's pretty, but how do you fit in with these people?

my name's patrizia, your father sends me. -you? what's my father got to say to me? that he'd like to be in your shoes. so, you're givin' my father your ears and mouth, huh? it seems strange. -especially since the last woman he trusted is dead. that's how things are. this passes all the checks. just one bullet. doesn't he know the clan's there to guarantee? -if i try to kill him, they'll kill me? he says don't let him down. so, i gotta die to please my father? huh? i gotta die to please my father? -i'm just the messenger. they'll tell you what to do when you're there. messenger! today's my birthday, did he forget?

you're my party! i want a joint, pull out the weed! you're such an imbecile! idiot! -it's your party, genny! gennaro, our life's shit since you left. the secessionists have blocked us in that alley, like monkeys. they toss us peanuts. we didn't even sell two hundred units last month. -we live on handouts. they're makin' tons and think they own the world. got it? you should see that shit ciro di marzio actin' the big man! genny, they say your father's back in naples, is it true? -yeah, trak. why don't you bust ciro's ass? why don't you come back too? it's no time. what the fuck's that mean?

-it was me. so what? i just stole a rich guy's watch. no, you came and stole in my house. he's got more money than you, he can buy another one. -meantime i can make 1000 euros. while you find the courage to come back, i brought justice to the world. nice, huh? gennaro! -have you lost your mind? calm down, calm down! trak, get up. gennaro, where are you goin'? come back! -calm down! no balls, gennaro! calm down, trak! you got no balls! calm down! -gennaro! calm down! you got no balls! you got no balls! you got no balls! -hi. hi, azzurra. nothing to say?

c'mon, give me a kiss! dad will be back soon. what are you doing? -can't you see? where is it? in there. isn't that okay? i could have given it to my father, but you know what you have to do. -remember what you've got here. this way, don ciro! please get in. don ciro, welcome. raffaele. -don aniello sent me, i'm at your total disposal. i've taken care of everything. room 621, sixth floor. i'll take you up. hello? -he's in the savoia. room 621, one kilometer from your hotel. in your room there's a sack with everything. come in, don gennaro, make yourself comfortable. anything you need, we're downstairs. -okay. i'll order dinner and get to bed. at your disposal. goodnight. goodnight, pasquale. -sweetheart, how come you're still awake?

turn around, you rat. -death's been next to me all my life, i'm not sacred of dying. oh, yeah? that's why you killed my mother and shot me in the face? with these hands, -i killed my debora. i'd have killed anyone who got in the way. kill this piece of shit! what did you tell your daughter about her mother's death? i'm not telling you that. -shoot, i've had it. you can lie to yourself, not me. shoot! you can't forget you killed your daughter's mother. shoot! -on your knees! i like seeing you like this... as if asking for forgiveness, asking for peace. but there's no peace or forgiveness for you. you keep it, so you'll remember the day i could have killed you, but didn't. immortal! -hello, don aniello. did you have a good night? perfect. gennaro, the past is over. now we go forward, in everybody's interest, yours too. -what ciro proposes sounds reasonable to me. i decide if it's reasonable or not. for me pietro savastano can stay where he is. on two conditions: first, the alliance buys your stuff, so you'll see you'll make more money with this peace. -war's not worth it to anyone. okay, i don't care where the money's from, and i don't give a fuck about what happens in naples anymore. good. that means the second condition's not a problem. -your father, his men, can't leave their neighbourhood anymore. okay. goodbye, don aniello. what the fuck...? you can't leave. -out of my way! rules have changed, there's an agreement with gennaro savastano. what the fuck do you mean? you can do what you like in your house, even sell stuff, but none of your men can go out, got it? gennarino guarantees for all of you. -he sold me out. he didn't kill him and he sold me out. piece of shit! calm down, they can hear you. there must be a reason. -i gotta get out. get me out of here, i gotta look him in the face! hi. hi. i'm happy you're here. -i don't know how i feel, but now i'm just fine. now we'll see if you like your birthday present! want to see it?

you gamble, mr. paczynski? football and horses. -you? i make bets. but it isn't really gambling if you know who's going to win. i'll see you out. even you appreciate loyalty. -so you made him choose. of course. and whitmore lost his man. no. no, i did. -then why was soberin carrying the company... emily, meet mr. paczynski. sterling's stand-in for the evening. emily, is it? mr. paczynski is a genuine gumshoe, in the great grand tradition of philip marlowe. -i always preferred mike hammer. even your idols are second rate. must be interesting work. what brings you here? bad habit. -when someone lies, i take it personally. you shouldn't. who lied? sterling's been rounding off the corners of the truth again. it seems mr. paczynski, isn't buying the official version of tom soberin's demise. -i don't blame him. you don't know the half of it. thanks for the drink. you came to me looking for tom soberin, didn't you? the newspaper said suicide. -who was he to you? my mentor, at the university. you were working with him? i work alone. look, i didn't even know tom soberin was here. -i was hired by a man named sterling whitmore. to do what? study a design, an invention. anyway, every night i had to turn in my notes, and every morning i would get them back. people take all kinds of precautions in my line of work. -okay. but two days ago, something odd happened. when i got my notes back, there was a mark on them. a symbol tom soberin would make when he thought i miscalculated. so whitmore hired soberin to double check your homework? -but there was no mistake. how do you know? i know. why did he make the note? to send a message. -what kind of message? to stop. to stop working on the design and see him. just like at school. so i called the university and they told me he was here, at the mayflower. -when i went to my apartment there were men coming out of it. i've been dodging them ever since. what do you expect me to do? if tom wanted me to stop, whoever killed him knows why. what makes you think i care? -well, you're here. you got a name? i'm nikki meeker. here, your lighter. tom was a master technician. -great. you don't hire him to design. you hire him to build. damn it. i've been run out of a few of borden's parties myself. -i can only take those assholes for so long before i say something that pisses 'em off. you saying chase tried to run me down? wake up, paczynski. that's bohemian grove buffalo style. bohemian grove? -that camp near san fran where all the big wigs dance around the bonfire thinking up ways to manipulate the world economy? nixon said it was the faggiest thing he ever saw. look what happened to him. that's a string pulling crowd pulling your string. chase got something to hide? -we all got something. you, uh... you've done some strange pulling yourself. i'm one generation removed from a carnival barker. what lie did i tell you? -you said tom soberin wasn't on your payroll. i said he didn't get the chase-whitmore company card from me. check your notes. what was he doing for you? great story. -little roger wood, a propeller pin sheared off their boat motor. boy went over the edge of niagara falls with nothing more than a life vest and his swim trunks. nary a scratch. the boat driver was battered and drowned. great story. -same journey, different results. of course, that was the canadian horseshoe. what no one has ever done is survive the american side. great for suicides, not so good for pickle barrels and diving bells. but there is a way. -with precise trajectory and an ideal rate of flow, a properly built device could manage it. good luck. stick, this is mr. paczynski. ah, we picked up your car. have it humming by morning. -mr. stickney, here, is a riverman. knows niagara better than the average man knows his own shoes. when you first heard the falls, how close were you? uh, i don't know a mile or two. i can hear 'em right now. -if you think i'm buying that tom soberin was building you a barrel, you're nuts. one man's nuts is another man's balls. nikki meeker wasn't making notes for a sideshow stunt. you talked with her? is she all right? -she's fine. where is she? tell me about chase's sister. mighty sexy, if you ask me. what does she do? -looks good in the company newsletter. you look like you could use some shut-eye, mr. paczynski. you're welcome to one of our guest rooms. there are planners and there are doers. you strike me as a doer. -am i right? i'm just a guy. yeah. quite a feat, isn't it? i was with the corps of engineers on that one. -wish we could do it again. give us a leg up on our travel plans. you ready? ¶ ¶ -¶ ¶ charlie, you been following me? don't think i won't crack you. i think you'd love to. -you set up tom soberin. what are you talking about? you paid kat to get him in that parking lot. i paid her to make sure tom had a good time. he didn't. -you all right, miss? she's fine. it's fine. do i need to call the police? yeah, ask for maguire. -and you used me to finish the job. please, can't we talk about this... phone book's full of names, why call yourself nikki meeker? if my brother found out what i did... please it's not safe. -you can tell me or the police, maybe squirt out a few tears this time. my brother kept a design in his safe. a very valuable but incomplete design. whitmore knew it would rot in there, so we made a deal. i'd get it, and he'd find someone to make sense of it. -now, we're getting somewhere. whitmore gave nicole's notes to soberin. and whatever was in those notes made soberin come running to me. why? he said the design shouldn't be developed. -what do you mean? what is it? i don't know. he didn't say. come on! -it was never finished, that's why we hired nicole. you have to believe me. i did a stupid thing, not a terrible thing. you've done both and your brother knows it. my brother doesn't even know the design went missing. -well, someone tried to make a speed bump out of me. whoever they were, they killed soberin and kat. and they'll come after you. just leave. uh-uh. -well, i hope you can protect nicole better than i did. you called her nikki. please, let me make this right. we're way past making it right. i'm sorry, i... -i would've met you on that beach. you're a beautiful piece of work, kid. but if you killed kat, i'm gonna nail you to the wall. slavko fixed your faucet. extraordinary what some people learn to tolerate. -you may have something we're looking for. sense of humor? maybe i can save you some time. i'm quite certain you do not know what we're looking for or where it is. but i've got it. -don't feel bad. most of the world does not know what is under its nose. mustache. here you are, banging your head against the dark, as they say, and you keep at it. you keep at it. -very good. excuse me. well, you've heard of the fbi. think of us as their brothers. whoa! -final notice. from last week. you. you. special agent barry, i work with darpa. -who's she? they track the best ideas and the brightest minds behind them. i can see why you came to me. my goodness, somebody turned this place upside down. the serbs were here. -tesla was a serb. did they take anything? yeah. i had a picasso hanging right there. who's a serb? -come here. i want to know if you've ever seen anything like it. why would i? because tom soberin's lungs were full of niagara 90 minutes after he met you. what the hell is going on? -have you ever heard of nicola tesla? yeah, about 48 hours ago. he invented something right? yeah, the 20th century. tesla kept an notebook of theoretical inventions locked in his safe at new yorker hotel. -that notebook contained everything from a free energy system to so called death ray. within an hour of his death, the united states government seized everything in that room. but somebody else got there first and the notebook was gone. six months ago there was a black market auction in stockholm for a disintegrating page torn from a decades-old notebook. half a design for an unknown invention. -nicole meeker was the last person to have it. we think she smuggled it out and we know she came to you. i don't have it. she never gave me anything. she could've planted it in your office, your car, anything. -she's never set foot in either. there are less than a dozen minds that our government sees fit to keep tabs on, for their safety and ours. nicole meeker is one of them and it is my job to bring her in. hey, i won't stop you. where do the serbs fit in? -that notebook is like the holy grail for serbian nationals. they will track the globe for any sign of it. half a design and nobody even knows what the hell it's for? imagine introducing an automobile with an unlimited energy supply. or a system to irrigate the deserts of africa. -tesla thought it possible for people to transmit themselves. do you hear what i'm saying? transmit themselves. just because he thought it, doesn't make it so. when people were getting around on horseback, he envisioned a wireless device so small you could keep it in your pocket. -it would let you check the news or the stock market or talk to anyone anywhere in the world. here, all the way to the top. television, satellite technology, computers, everything we take for granted... tesla? yes, yes, tesla. -all of it. how come i never heard of him before tuesday? the politics of science. whatever it is, i'd rather we have it than anybody else. chase killed soberin over this? -he's got a buyer, we want them both. we know when but not where. he can't sell what he doesn't have. but he expects to get his design back one way or another. i'm offering you a way out. -bring nicole in and we can protect you both. this is where you tell me, my country needs me, right? tomorrow, silo city, foot of ohio street. should we expect you? you had me at death ray. -get your things. what's happened? i had some visitors. just like me and soberin? i might've had different guys. -they fixed my sink. visitors were followed by the fbi. and the fbi was followed by some dark suits. so you're handing me over? to give them the design. -and what will they do with it? when a scientist advances a theory, they open it up to the world, people make with it whatever they want. i can't protect you. i don't need a protector. i need an ally. -is this it? half of it. you know what it is yet? a kind of amplifier for energy. i'm not sure how it's meant to be used. -you think soberin knew? i don't see how he could. i've never seen anything like it. belonged to a friend. then you better hold on to it. -michael. you can do this one now. and bring the original. i burned it. ¶ -run! what? ¶ ¶ nikki! -¶ well, i'd say we're even. what have i gotten myself into here? that's a hell of a question he's asking. those suits back there didn't mind killing a federal agent. -didn't mind killing me, but not you. why not? someone was killed? well, you must understand by now. i don't understand any of it. -i don't understand you! you think they're pissed now. wait till they found out you burned the thing? look, you want my help, you better start sharing some goddamn information. any more surprises, now's the time. -your fbi agent pushed this into my hand. what do you know about darpa? defense advanced research projects agency. i'm a physics professor. you a bit of a science buff? -darpa tried to recruit me off the carnegie campus. well, la di dah. barry was working for them or so she claimed. if tesla's involved, they're never far behind. tesla? -oh, come on. i lecture on tesla. the war of the currents. he beat out edison. he built a power station at niagara that electrified buffalo. -but most of his ideas were suppressed. it's all politics. same reason i didn't get tenure. the ideas that got support were the ones that could be weaponized. that's why he stopped labeling his diagrams and started splitting them in half. -splitting them in half? he knew someone would exploit them. yeah. they're called the department of defense. he even hid parts of design. -what do you mean hid? hid wherever he worked. his lab in colorado, the tower he built on long island. both destroyed. coincidence? -what about the power station in niagara? collapsed with 10,000 cubic feet of rushing water blocking the access tunnels. look, tesla, didn't just cut designs in half, he disguised how the designs went together. look, just like these nautical charts. that looks right, right? -but this, see, doesn't go directly next to that. she's good. tesla was also one of the first to warn against the dangers of smoking. what does this look like to you? reminds me of a tin man. -like from the wizard of oz? no, tin man from the sound of music. what does it mean? something soberin said. we've been sitting here too long. -lots of prohibition. polonia got into witness protection. you know where the devil can't go, he sends a woman. she doesn't trust me either. it's just a polish proverb. -well, she said it in english. i never said i didn't trust you. that's good. 'cause i don't have time to earn it. where are you going? -those were borden chase's men back there. chase? his sister took the designs from the safe. he's been ringing her out to get 'em back. what will you do? -convince her to go to the police. get one good shot at him. really? i don't even own a gun. hey. -he doesn't know i burned it. i must've shorted out the security system again. i've done some things, but you take the prize. pretty wild stuff, isn't it? oh, come on. -don't be so provincial. that's the second time you called me that. all these books and no thesaurus? where is she? in the dungeon. -i don't like your jokes. you seem like the type of guy who thinks anyone with money is a crook. i think everyone is a crook. you're a killer. i'm a businessman. -now, what will it cost me to turn your attention back to reservation cigarettes and discount liquor? your sister, and i'll throw in a bonus. what can you possibly offer me besides admiration. the former contents of your safe. i can get it back, never mind how. -mr. paczynski. refreshed? recharged? apparently he caught a glimpse of our little therapy session. he can't get his brain around it. -so now we're going to spend the evening staring one another? she leaves with me. that's the deal. she's not on a leash...today. deal for what? -the design, tell him. that design took me 25 years to acquire. do you know what i would do to someone who tried to steal it? lighting her up like a christmas tree wasn't enough? over a million people were treated with electroconvulsive therapy last year alone. -treated for what? emily. my sister wouldn't steal from me. because she knows that if she did, the retribution would be biblical. what kind of a man would betray his sister's trust because of the accusations of a night crawler like you. -open the safe. we're family, mr. paczynski. that's a gene pool screaming for chlorine. the feds will be coming. this broad offers you the golden goose and you wanna cook it for dinner. -he's got a goddamn electric chair in his house. don't you think that's a little out of the ordinary? you're ordinary. these people are not. and the grain elevator? -not only was there no dead body, but the fbi never heard of your agent barry. what? and, as you can see, no sordid chase family history either. he's got something on her. except maybe the old man contemplating the long goodbye. -why? read. william c. chase, three arrests, three months, summer of '69. all up to the state park at the falls. trespassing? -either he was suicidal or smoking wacky tabacky. pretty thin, you'd agree? unless he was wearing a scuba suit. just what the hell goes on inside your head? personal items returned. -a flash light and an ax, no snorkel. leave that to the professionals, charlie. what was soberin building for you? i was there. i was seven years old. -you didn't hire nikki meeker for a barrel ride. what do you think he could build with half a design? i didn't want him to build it. i wanted to know what it was. how would soberin know what it was any more than nikki? -he worked for the same outfit as your fbi gal. darpa? sure. enlisted to inform them any time he got wind of extraordinary discoveries, inventions or people. darpa has no operational mission. -they want a radical innovation of any kind. you don't think that something like guided missiles came along because some general filled out an r and d request. they don't mind a thousand failures because one success changes the whole goddamn game. and a guy like tesla would be a goldmine for an outfit like that. don't kid yourself. -tesla is the outfit. ¶ reagan's star wars, the haarp complex in alaska, the manhattan project... bohemian grove's greatest hits. soberin was briefed on tesla's unpublished theories. -if a design surfaced... he was trained to recognize what it was for. but he didn't. he did. he just didn't tell you. -if someone had both halves... and knew how to put them together, that someone could change the world. ¶ what happened? i can't go back there. -then go to the police. they won't believe me. i'll make 'em. what can we prove? why'd you stand by him back there? -he never believed i broke into the safe, but he put on a show about trusting me. and when you left, he opened it. oh, jesus. take your hand out. take it out. -goddamn it. it's not your fault. i should have never taken the design. we gotta get you out of here. i've made plans. -then go. for all of us. i'm not going anywhere yet. he'll kill you. he'll kill nicole. -please. let me do this. then let's get you and nikki out. i'm just, um, figuring something out. this is emily chase. -she can get you out. the professor will take you both to the pump station. she'll have a boat there tonight. the government keeps track of people like me. she's got the best forged passport i've ever seen. -the sketch on that napkin? i knew there was something about it. i had to flirt with my wife to get this back. it's a book i started writing once. government conspiracies, the moon landing, superbowl 25. -i'm kidding, but there was a project nick. it involved particle beams, and plasma, and projects within projects. and one of them was a version of tesla's dream to capture, amplify and transmit the unlimited energy of the ionosphere. something that could only be accomplished on a massive scale. theories. -there was also reference to a discontinued offshoot of that program code named tin man. what was it? nobody knows. i do. what tesla thought he could do for the energy in the ionosphere, he found he could do for the energy that exists around every living thing. -the energy of a person amplified and focused like a machine. tin man. imagine a whole army of soldiers. that's why. that's why he split it in half. -why not destroy it? hope. that someday we would be wise enough to use it as he intended. the hell with hope. i'm with you. -let it burn. i still had hope. oh, shit. well, imagine this in the wrong hands. or we can end it right here. -you think this thing would actually work whenever you look at the moon, think of walking on it. some people have. i was very glad to get your call. i hope you'll keep in mind that i've already paid for this once. -we're all paying for it. you're not still in a fit over that childhood game of ours. emily and played it a thousand times. there's never been any danger. i've seen her since. -you practically took her hand off. paczynski, that polish, right? how'd you crack that code? did you know that the polish underground would kill their own members just to prove they weren't part of the polish underground? they're a very stubborn people. -let me see my design. what's this? my father's weakness was a curious mind. same thing with whitmore. you're old man got nicked three times when the falls were dry. -that's not curious, that's driven. little late life to start thinking, mr. paczynski. the old tunnels to power house number one were exposed. you've heard one too many tesla-ments. the quest for the holy grail armed with a maul ax instead of a sword. -now, why would he take a maul ax to the falls? well, the beauty of a maul ax is that one end is wedged like a hatchet. but the other is blunt enough to bust rock. and when the police released him, they gave it back. careful. -you had both halves. twice the profit. oh, 100 times. but you needed someone brilliant enough to put the two halves together. and that is a very short list. -i wouldn't let nicole meeker or anyone like her near it. i left a lot of interested parties very disappointed. you don't even know what you had. that design could be a blue print for free energy. it could destroy the world economy overnight. -you lecture on the frontier of science, but you kill to keep the status quo? the fact is that the design is indecipherable without both halves. i wouldn't dirty my fingernails to get it back. this can't be the half your old man found. this list, it's not my hand writing. -nikki! nikki! nikki! ¶ please! -last call was 4:00. dude. what happened to you? get me mr. smith. after 2:00 a.m. a man makes nothing but bad decisions. -where's nikki? you smell like the lake. come on, you and emily all along? look, i only got a few laps to go. i don't need money. -i want adventure. then why weren't you in the barrel? jesus and the 12, is that what happened to you? where's nikki? the american side? -they sent you over... where is she? how the hell would i know? what was it like going over the brink? no points off for being an reluctant astronaut. -fbi had everything but the where. somebody stole the barrel. get it? the date, the time, the contact, it's all there. 0600, 19 september, celinda! -you tell me the place! god save us from the gifted amateur. celinda ain't a who. it's a where. three sisters. -asenath, angeline and celinda is this what i think it is? tin man. tesla's perfect soldier. in theory. -in practice. the only thing more valuable is... someone to put it together. i'll drive. go, man, go -¶ nikki! charlie, hurry there's no time. it's over. my brother's men are coming. -it's finished. what's happening? go! ¶ whitmore has part of the plan. -don't believe him. whitmore is a government agent. she'll never believe you. the design was just bent, nikki. you're worth more to them. -someone who can solve all their problems. well, they could never make me. she can't be smart about everything! go! no -move! go! what about you? go! you can't get in the way too. -charlie! come on! you gotta get out of here. and don't look back. just rest. -you drew the half you'd never seen. lot of people want a piece of you. well, they have a pattern of you. there's a joker in every deck. well, actually, there's two. -where is it? she burned it. that would be a great loss. if it were true. ¶ -¶ ¶wishyouwerehere ¶ ¶towhisperinmyyears ¶ ¶thatyouloveme¶ ¶morethanwordscantell¶ -¶i can'tforget¶ ¶thedaythatwemet¶ ¶heededwhatyou mean¶ ¶morethanwordscantell¶ ¶canyouforget¶ -¶ what i've done in the past?

never heard of him. she doesn't try that bull shit, of course, on her regulars. she's in trouble. -ah, the worst trouble she's got is you, charlie. listen if you got her messed... i'll find her. you're such a bastard. mayflower apartments. -she asked if they were nice. maybe she was sizing him up. move it! get off the bench! tom soberin. -who wants to know? used to bowl for charlie pazinci any relation? come on in, tough guy. i'm ready. i already died in '45. -field surgery during the bulge. but, you know, i never did see that bright light bull shit either. 6g, you know him? i know everybody. you know where he went? -well, i know, he left in a hurry. and he left with nothing. when? last night. oh, damn it. -what are you? private investigator? yeah. oh, i thought i was making a joke. you ever investigate the hazards of man, hmm? -you know anything about him? i know 6a cooks meatballs every friday night, filled with garlic. and i know 6b keeps an illegal pet named sparky. and i know that 6d keeps a key under the mat that is frequently used by 6h. but 6g never drew anyone's attention. -until you heard him bolt out of here last night. and the ado that followed, yes. what do you mean, ado? men in suits. would you like a drink? -no, no. what suits? what do you mean, "what suits?" everyone looks the same in a suit, like a rat. oh. -i did hear through that door over there they wanted 6g's tesla file. "tesla file," they said. tesla file? what's that? how should i know? -i don't go nosing around in other people's business. sorry about the lock. i'm 85 years old, and i'm not scared. i'm ready. uh-uh, that's mine. -what do you got? what have you got for me? well, your honor. i've got a shoe box full of photos might influence your constituents in november. give me the name. -soberin. s-o-b-e-r... can't help you. never heard of him. hello? -jerk. help me, mr. paczynski. how do you know my name? please, i cannot be seen. what do you hear? -take it easy. did you find him? find who? ah, shit. oh. -been a bad day, miss. meeker. nicole meeker. what brings you to me? you're the only private investigator in the buffalo phone book. -what, people don't cheat on their spouses anymore? sure they do. but the spouses don't mind. the man i was involved with, he disappeared. maybe he ran off with his wife. -i finally found the address and drove up from pittsburgh last night. i went by this morning, couldn't get in, but i did see something that interested me. yeah? what did you see? i saw you. -what do you mean, me? the man i'm looking for is tom soberin. the doorman said that you were also asking for him. tom hasn't been well. he's been taking medication for depression. -he's been paranoid, delusional. he says that people are watching him. even trying to kill him. he may be right. please tell me where he is. -might not make any sense to you, but if i speak to him personally... i don't mind getting paid to look for somebody i'm already looking for. i'm not paying you to look for him. i'm paying you to find him. you say soberin's up here from pittsburgh? -distinguished professor of engineering at carnegie mellon university. he must be distinguished in all the right places. my number's on the back. and yes, i do have very unconventional taste. who are you? -don't look at me! keep your eyes out. you made a date with my friend last night. oh. oh, i'm sorry. -i didn't know. god damn it! it's supposed to be a hit, and you stick her in the middle of it? no, no. what's happening here you can't begin to comprehend. -i'm three seconds, from throwing you over the rail. i'm trying to listen too. christ! she said you lost it. who? -nicole meeker. you saw her? she's looking for you. thinks you're worth the trouble. i didn't mention the carnival parking lot. -i have to tell her. if you want to confess your sins, find a priest. who fired the gun? tell nikki i found the tin man. what the hell are you talking about? -you wanna know who fired the shots? have nikki meet me. where and when? today, out on three sisters. you see her, then you see me. -got it? i'll be waiting. don't let yourself be followed again. i'm so sorry about... about kat, i... -yeah. he's waiting there now. i gotta go. hey! damn it! -you couldn't find a hole in a donut. can i get one of those? no. male or female? the jumper is male. -got a light? fifth of the season. the place is a magnet. honeymoons and suicides. what's the difference? -ha, you should take that routine to vegas. i'll escort you to the airport. i told you, i got a job and i already found the guy. some nut out of pittsburgh name of soberin. which one of these maroons put you up to it? -i don't get it. soberin? you can help tuck him in. she's dead, isn't she? if you want me... -don't you dare. i'm gonna find the guy. well, you won't have to look far. when he didn't show up, i knew. so the police said that it was a suicide? -that's how they see it. and how do you see it? he was a mess, like you said. i think somebody made him a mess. doesn't really matter anymore, does it? -doesn't it? why do you care so much? ask me something else. you ever just want to disappear? i already have. -no, i mean it. go some place where no one can find you. i've never been to the ocean. yes, what? what? -any other day. there's another day. yeah. i don't know what... slow down! -yeah? yeah, you stole my lighter. have you been to st-paul's? can you meet me there? jesus, not since i was baptized. -and not today, kid. son of a bitch. you ever hear the one about the tallest detective? you saved me a trip. what would you do if you were in my shoes, charlie? -i'd burn my socks. funny. ticket at the airport, carrying more bread than hansel and gretel and your partner in crime laying dead in the morgue. that funny too? her name is kat. -i wanna see her. her family is here and they've never heard of you. weren't you due a promotion like three years ago, escobar? meanwhile the guy you set up takes a nose dive into the whirlpool. they're connected. -by you. they're connected by you! i didn't buy that plane ticket. right, it was the knockout with the wad of cash. i've had that same dream. -only my wife's the knockout and she's carrying a six pack of beer and a bucket of wings. your wife likes polish sausage, mac, trust me. whoa! i'm still in the room. we'll need your passport. -you can eat it. come on, where's the rest of it? no, no, no, no, no. we don't just walk up here. what do we do? -well, if we're lucky, we schedule an appointment. appointments are for assholes. you probably make 'em all the time. but tesla's mind was already busy concentrating that... did i miss anything good? -secrets of the universe revealed. tesla was one of the first to experiment with these energies in a field so often dismissed as more spiritual than scientific. yet so many of his imaginings have become our realities, do we dare doubt the others? there's a no greater potential in the world than those undeciphered imaginings in our government's tesla file. hey, you know which one of these guys is whitmore? -yeah. this one. tom soberin. an expert technician. and now he's a dead one. -i read that. threw himself in the drink. maybe. what is he to you? i'm a private investigator. -glad to know they still make those. tom soberin was using the chase-whitmore company card. you'd have to ask borden about that. it's chase-whitmore in name only these days. my partner was borden's old man. -so soberin wasn't working for you? if he was working for borden, he'd have been lucky to see daylight, never mind moonlight for me. borden doesn't share. but you can ask him yourself. he keeps inviting me to his shindigs and i keep not showing up. -have fun. don't talk business. weaving spiders come not here. charlie paczynski. those drawings are from a book by the italian physician. -examples of galvanism. he ran electric current through the bodies of dead animals. for what? theatrics. but he was also among the first to treat the mentally ill by shocking the brain. -shock treatment? thought that was lot of hooey. history's great discoveries were all at one time thought to be, as you so provincially put it, "a lot of hooey." top shelf. -where mama hides the cookies. what's this character up to? that's a publicity photo of nikola tesla in his laboratory. what's he trying to publicize, that the cheese slipped off his cracker? when tesla needed money for a project, he would send westinghouser j.p. morgan one of those fantastic pictures, whether it related or not. -it's a fake. double exposure. i'm told a touched up photo or two has helped you pay your bills from time to time. this isn't an open house, mr. paczynski. any idea what sort of trouble tom soberin was in? -ah, tom has never said no to a whiskey or a woman. wasn't he married? please. legal trouble? money trouble? -did he gamble? he used his standing at the university to woo a co-ed or two. pretty risky business, don't you think? you gamble, mr. paczynski? football and horses. -you? i make bets. but it isn't really gambling if you know who's going to win. i'll see you out. even you appreciate loyalty. -so you made him choose. of course. and whitmore lost his man. no. no, i did. -then why was soberin carrying the company... emily, meet mr. paczynski. sterling's stand-in for the evening. emily, is it? mr. paczynski is a genuine gumshoe, in the great grand tradition of philip marlowe. -i always preferred mike hammer. even your idols are second rate. must be interesting work. what brings you here? bad habit. -when someone lies, i take it personally. you shouldn't. who lied? sterling's been rounding off the corners of the truth again. it seems mr. paczynski, isn't buying the official version of tom soberin's demise. -i don't blame him. you don't know the half of it. thanks for the drink. you came to me looking for tom soberin, didn't you? the newspaper said suicide. -who was he to you? my mentor, at the university. you were working with him? i work alone. look, i didn't even know tom soberin was here. -i was hired by a man named sterling whitmore. to do what? study a design, an invention. anyway, every night i had to turn in my notes, and every morning i would get them back. people take all kinds of precautions in my line of work. -okay. but two days ago, something odd happened. when i got my notes back, there was a mark on them. a symbol tom soberin would make when he thought i miscalculated. so whitmore hired soberin to double check your homework? -but there was no mistake. how do you know? i know. why did he make the note? to send a message. -what kind of message? to stop. to stop working on the design and see him. just like at school. so i called the university and they told me he was here, at the mayflower. -when i went to my apartment there were men coming out of it. i've been dodging them ever since. what do you expect me to do? if tom wanted me to stop, whoever killed him knows why. what makes you think i care? -well, you're here. you got a name? i'm nikki meeker. here, your lighter. tom was a master technician. -great. you don't hire him to design. you hire him to build. damn it. i've been run out of a few of borden's parties myself. -i can only take those assholes for so long before i say something that pisses 'em off. you saying chase tried to run me down? wake up, paczynski. that's bohemian grove buffalo style. bohemian grove? -that camp near san fran where all the big wigs dance around the bonfire thinking up ways to manipulate the world economy? nixon said it was the faggiest thing he ever saw. look what happened to him. that's a string pulling crowd pulling your string. chase got something to hide? -we all got something. you, uh... you've done some strange pulling yourself. i'm one generation removed from a carnival barker. what lie did i tell you? -you said tom soberin wasn't on your payroll. i said he didn't get the chase-whitmore company card from me. check your notes. what was he doing for you? great story. -little roger wood, a propeller pin sheared off their boat motor. boy went over the edge of niagara falls with nothing more than a life vest and his swim trunks. nary a scratch. the boat driver was battered and drowned. great story. -same journey, different results. of course, that was the canadian horseshoe. what no one has ever done is survive the american side. great for suicides, not so good for pickle barrels and diving bells. but there is a way. -with precise trajectory and an ideal rate of flow, a properly built device could manage it. good luck. stick, this is mr. paczynski. ah, we picked up your car. have it humming by morning. -mr. stickney, here, is a riverman. knows niagara better than the average man knows his own shoes. when you first heard the falls, how close were you? uh, i don't know a mile or two. i can hear 'em right now. -if you think i'm buying that tom soberin was building you a barrel, you're nuts. one man's nuts is another man's balls. nikki meeker wasn't making notes for a sideshow stunt. you talked with her? is she all right? -she's fine. where is she? tell me about chase's sister. mighty sexy, if you ask me. what does she do? -looks good in the company newsletter. you look like you could use some shut-eye, mr. paczynski. you're welcome to one of our guest rooms. there are planners and there are doers. you strike me as a doer. -am i right? i'm just a guy. yeah. quite a feat, isn't it? i was with the corps of engineers on that one. -wish we could do it again. give us a leg up on our travel plans. you ready? charlie, you been following me? don't think i won't crack you. -i think you'd love to. you set up tom soberin. what are you talking about? you paid kat to get him in that parking lot. i paid her to make sure tom had a good time. -he didn't. you all right, miss? she's fine. it's fine. do i need to call the police? -yeah, ask for maguire. and you used me to finish the job. please, can't we talk about this... phone book's full of names, why call yourself nikki meeker? if my brother found out what i did... -please it's not safe. you can tell me or the police, maybe squirt out a few tears this time. my brother kept a design in his safe. a very valuable but incomplete design. whitmore knew it would rot in there, so we made a deal. -i'd get it, and he'd find someone to make sense of it. now, we're getting somewhere. whitmore gave nicole's notes to soberin. and whatever was in those notes made soberin come running to me. why? -he said the design shouldn't be developed. what do you mean? what is it? i don't know. he didn't say. -come on! it was never finished, that's why we hired nicole. you have to believe me. i did a stupid thing, not a terrible thing. you've done both and your brother knows it. -my brother doesn't even know the design went missing. well, someone tried to make a speed bump out of me. whoever they were, they killed soberin and kat. and they'll come after you. just leave. -uh-uh. well, i hope you can protect nicole better than i did. you called her nikki. please, let me make this right. we're way past making it right. -i'm sorry, i... i would've met you on that beach. you're a beautiful piece of work, kid. but if you killed kat, i'm gonna nail you to the wall. slavko fixed your faucet. -extraordinary what some people learn to tolerate. you may have something we're looking for. sense of humor? maybe i can save you some time. i'm quite certain you do not know what we're looking for or where it is. -but i've got it. don't feel bad. most of the world does not know what is under its nose. mustache. here you are, banging your head against the dark, as they say, and you keep at it. -you keep at it. very good. excuse me. well, you've heard of the fbi. think of us as their brothers. -whoa! final notice. from last week. you. you. -special agent barry, i work with darpa. who's she? they track the best ideas and the brightest minds behind them. i can see why you came to me. my goodness, somebody turned this place upside down. -the serbs were here. tesla was a serb. did they take anything? yeah. i had a picasso hanging right there. -who's a serb? come here. i want to know if you've ever seen anything like it. why would i? because tom soberin's lungs were full of niagara 90 minutes after he met you. -what the hell is going on? have you ever heard of nicola tesla? yeah, about 48 hours ago. he invented something right? yeah, the 20th century. -tesla kept an notebook of theoretical inventions locked in his safe at new yorker hotel. that notebook contained everything from a free energy system to so called death ray. within an hour of his death, the united states government seized everything in that room. but somebody else got there first and the notebook was gone. six months ago there was a black market auction in stockholm for a disintegrating page torn from a decades-old notebook. -half a design for an unknown invention. nicole meeker was the last person to have it. we think she smuggled it out and we know she came to you. i don't have it. she never gave me anything. -she could've planted it in your office, your car, anything. she's never set foot in either. there are less than a dozen minds that our government sees fit to keep tabs on, for their safety and ours. nicole meeker is one of them and it is my job to bring her in. hey, i won't stop you. -where do the serbs fit in? that notebook is like the holy grail for serbian nationals. they will track the globe for any sign of it. half a design and nobody even knows what the hell it's for? imagine introducing an automobile with an unlimited energy supply. -or a system to irrigate the deserts of africa. tesla thought it possible for people to transmit themselves. do you hear what i'm saying? transmit themselves. just because he thought it, doesn't make it so. -when people were getting around on horseback, he envisioned a wireless device so small you could keep it in your pocket. it would let you check the news or the stock market or talk to anyone anywhere in the world. here, all the way to the top. television, satellite technology, computers, everything we take for granted... tesla? -yes, yes, tesla. all of it. how come i never heard of him before tuesday? the politics of science. whatever it is, i'd rather we have it than anybody else. -chase killed soberin over this? he's got a buyer, we want them both. we know when but not where. he can't sell what he doesn't have. but he expects to get his design back one way or another. -i'm offering you a way out. bring nicole in and we can protect you both. this is where you tell me, my country needs me, right? tomorrow, silo city, foot of ohio street. should we expect you? -you had me at death ray. get your things. what's happened? i had some visitors. just like me and soberin? -i might've had different guys. they fixed my sink. visitors were followed by the fbi. and the fbi was followed by some dark suits. so you're handing me over? -to give them the design. and what will they do with it? when a scientist advances a theory, they open it up to the world, people make with it whatever they want. i can't protect you. i don't need a protector. -i need an ally. is this it? half of it. you know what it is yet? a kind of amplifier for energy. -i'm not sure how it's meant to be used. you think soberin knew? i don't see how he could. i've never seen anything like it. belonged to a friend. -then you better hold on to it. michael. you can do this one now. and bring the original. i burned it. -run! what? nikki! well, i'd say we're even. what have i gotten myself into here? -that's a hell of a question he's asking. those suits back there didn't mind killing a federal agent. didn't mind killing me, but not you. why not? someone was killed? -well, you must understand by now. i don't understand any of it. i don't understand you! you think they're pissed now. wait till they found out you burned the thing? -look, you want my help, you better start sharing some goddamn information. any more surprises, now's the time. your fbi agent pushed this into my hand. what do you know about darpa? defense advanced research projects agency. -i'm a physics professor. you a bit of a science buff? darpa tried to recruit me off the carnegie campus. well, la di dah. barry was working for them or so she claimed. -if tesla's involved, they're never far behind. tesla? oh, come on. i lecture on tesla. the war of the currents. -he beat out edison. he built a power station at niagara that electrified buffalo. but most of his ideas were suppressed. it's all politics. same reason i didn't get tenure. -the ideas that got support were the ones that could be weaponized. that's why he stopped labeling his diagrams and started splitting them in half. splitting them in half? he knew someone would exploit them. yeah. -they're called the department of defense. he even hid parts of design. what do you mean hid? hid wherever he worked. his lab in colorado, the tower he built on long island. -both destroyed. coincidence? what about the power station in niagara? collapsed with 10,000 cubic feet of rushing water blocking the access tunnels. look, tesla, didn't just cut designs in half, he disguised how the designs went together. -look, just like these nautical charts. that looks right, right? but this, see, doesn't go directly next to that. she's good. tesla was also one of the first to warn against the dangers of smoking. -what does this look like to you? reminds me of a tin man. like from the wizard of oz? no, tin man from the sound of music. what does it mean? -something soberin said. we've been sitting here too long. lots of prohibition. polonia got into witness protection. you know where the devil can't go, he sends a woman. -she doesn't trust me either. it's just a polish proverb. well, she said it in english. i never said i didn't trust you. that's good. 'cause i don't have time to earn it. -where are you going? those were borden chase's men back there. chase? his sister took the designs from the safe. he's been ringing her out to get 'em back. -what will you do? convince her to go to the police. get one good shot at him. really? i don't even own a gun. -hey. he doesn't know i burned it. i must've shorted out the security system again. i've done some things, but you take the prize. pretty wild stuff, isn't it? -oh, come on. don't be so provincial. that's the second time you called me that. all these books and no thesaurus? where is she? -in the dungeon. i don't like your jokes. you seem like the type of guy who thinks anyone with money is a crook. i think everyone is a crook. you're a killer. -i'm a businessman. now, what will it cost me to turn your attention back to reservation cigarettes and discount liquor? your sister, and i'll throw in a bonus. what can you possibly offer me besides admiration. the former contents of your safe. -i can get it back, never mind how. mr. paczynski. refreshed? recharged? apparently he caught a glimpse of our little therapy session. -he can't get his brain around it. so now we're going to spend the evening staring one another? she leaves with me. that's the deal. she's not on a leash... today. -deal for what? the design, tell him. that design took me 25 years to acquire. do you know what i would do to someone who tried to steal it? lighting her up like a christmas tree wasn't enough? -over a million people were treated with electroconvulsive therapy last year alone. treated for what? emily. my sister wouldn't steal from me. because she knows that if she did, the retribution would be biblical. -what kind of a man would betray his sister's trust because of the accusations of a night crawler like you. open the safe. we're family, mr. paczynski. that's a gene pool screaming for chlorine. the feds will be coming. -this broad offers you the golden goose and you wanna cook it for dinner. he's got a goddamn electric chair in his house. don't you think that's a little out of the ordinary? you're ordinary. these people are not. -and the grain elevator? not only was there no dead body, but the fbi never heard of your agent barry. what? and, as you can see, no sordid chase family history either. he's got something on her. -except maybe the old man contemplating the long goodbye. why? read. william c. chase, three arrests, three months, summer of '69. all up to the state park at the falls. -trespassing? either he was suicidal or smoking wacky tabacky. pretty thin, you'd agree? unless he was wearing a scuba suit. just what the hell goes on inside your head? -personal items returned. a flash light and an ax, no snorkel. leave that to the professionals, charlie. what was soberin building for you? i was there. -i was seven years old. you didn't hire nikki meeker for a barrel ride. what do you think he could build with half a design? i didn't want him to build it. i wanted to know what it was. -how would soberin know what it was any more than nikki? he worked for the same outfit as your fbi gal. darpa? sure. enlisted to inform them any time he got wind of extraordinary discoveries, inventions or people. -darpa has no operational mission. they want a radical innovation of any kind. you don't think that something like guided missiles came along because some general filled out an r and d request. they don't mind a thousand failures because one success changes the whole goddamn game. and a guy like tesla would be a goldmine for an outfit like that. -don't kid yourself. tesla is the outfit. reagan's star wars, the haarp complex in alaska, the manhattan project... bohemian grove's greatest hits. soberin was briefed on tesla's unpublished theories. -if a design surfaced... he was trained to recognize what it was for. but he didn't. he did. he just didn't tell you. -if someone had both halves... and knew how to put them together, that someone could change the world. what happened? i can't go back there. then go to the police. -they won't believe me. i'll make 'em. what can we prove? why'd you stand by him back there? he never believed i broke into the safe, but he put on a show about trusting me. -and when you left, he opened it. oh, jesus. take your hand out. take it out. goddamn it. -it's not your fault. i should have never taken the design. we gotta get you out of here. i've made plans. then go. -for all of us. i'm not going anywhere yet. he'll kill you. he'll kill nicole. please. -let me do this. then let's get you and nikki out. i'm just, um, figuring something out. this is emily chase. she can get you out. -the professor will take you both to the pump station. she'll have a boat there tonight. the government keeps track of people like me. she's got the best forged passport i've ever seen. the sketch on that napkin? -i knew there was something about it. i had to flirt with my wife to get this back. it's a book i started writing once. government conspiracies, the moon landing, superbowl 25. i'm kidding, but there was a project nick. -it involved particle beams, and plasma, and projects within projects. and one of them was a version of tesla's dream to capture, amplify and transmit the unlimited energy of the ionosphere. something that could only be accomplished on a massive scale. theories. there was also reference to a discontinued offshoot of that program code named tin man. -what was it? nobody knows. i do. what tesla thought he could do for the energy in the ionosphere, he found he could do for the energy that exists around every living thing. the energy of a person amplified and focused like a machine. -tin man. imagine a whole army of soldiers. that's why. that's why he split it in half. why not destroy it? -hope. that someday we would be wise enough to use it as he intended. the hell with hope. i'm with you. let it burn. -i still had hope. oh, shit. well, imagine this in the wrong hands. or we can end it right here. you think this thing would actually work -whenever you look at the moon, think of walking on it. some people have. i was very glad to get your call. i hope you'll keep in mind that i've already paid for this once. we're all paying for it. -you're not still in a fit over that childhood game of ours. emily and played it a thousand times. there's never been any danger. i've seen her since. you practically took her hand off. -paczynski, that polish, right? how'd you crack that code? did you know that the polish underground would kill their own members just to prove they weren't part of the polish underground? they're a very stubborn people. let me see my design. -what's this? my father's weakness was a curious mind. same thing with whitmore. you're old man got nicked three times when the falls were dry. that's not curious, that's driven. -little late life to start thinking, mr. paczynski. the old tunnels to power house number one were exposed. you've heard one too many tesla-ments. the quest for the holy grail armed with a maul ax instead of a sword. now, why would he take a maul ax to the falls? -well, the beauty of a maul ax is that one end is wedged like a hatchet. but the other is blunt enough to bust rock. and when the police released him, they gave it back. careful. you had both halves. -twice the profit. oh, 100 times. but you needed someone brilliant enough to put the two halves together. and that is a very short list. i wouldn't let nicole meeker or anyone like her near it. -i left a lot of interested parties very disappointed. you don't even know what you had. that design could be a blue print for free energy. it could destroy the world economy overnight. you lecture on the frontier of science, but you kill to keep the status quo? -the fact is that the design is indecipherable without both halves. i wouldn't dirty my fingernails to get it back. this can't be the half your old man found. this list, it's not my hand writing. nikki! -nikki! nikki! please! last call was 4:00. dude. -what happened to you? get me mr. smith. after 2:00 a.m. a man makes nothing but bad decisions. where's nikki? you smell like the lake. -come on, you and emily all along? look, i only got a few laps to go. i don't need money. i want adventure. then why weren't you in the barrel? -jesus and the 12, is that what happened to you? where's nikki? the american side? they sent you over... where is she? -how the hell would i know? what was it like going over the brink? no points off for being an reluctant astronaut. fbi had everything but the where. somebody stole the barrel. -get it? the date, the time, the contact, it's all there. 0600, 19 september, celinda! you tell me the place! god save us from the gifted amateur. -celinda ain't a who. it's a where. three sisters. asenath, angeline and celinda is this what i think it is? -tin man. tesla's perfect soldier. in theory. in practice. the only thing more valuable is... -someone to put it together. i'll drive. go, man, go nikki! charlie, hurry there's no time. -it's over. my brother's men are coming. it's finished. what's happening? go! -whitmore has part of the plan. don't believe him. whitmore is a government agent. she'll never believe you. the design was just bent, nikki. -you're worth more to them. someone who can solve all their problems. well, they could never make me. she can't be smart about everything! go! -no move! go! what about you? go! -you can't get in the way too. charlie! come on! you gotta get out of here. and don't look back. -just rest. you drew the half you'd never seen. lot of people want a piece of you. well, they have a pattern of you. there's a joker in every deck. -well, actually, there's two. where is it? she burned it. that would be a great loss. if it were true. -(2014 summer in taiwan) (here comes the money pawn shop) here, it's worth 100,000 dollars 100,000 dollars? how is that possible? how about you give me a bit more for the sake of my father?

go spend five minutes alone with him, now. go get some cheese for the wine. chevre is always nice. -but i wouldn't dare tell you how to buy cheese. you're being so assertive right now... it's almost attractive. hey, not now. not the time. you know... -i can be shy sometimes, too. you don't have to be shy. seriously, i-i-i'd really like to get to know you. really? here's something that i learned from our relationship. -when you feel a knot... you take a deep breath and you stare at it and face it without fear or judgment. i don't think that it's furgy's knot that's bothering you. ooh. i think that the knot that's bothering you is right there. uh, wow, i, um... -i don't know where i stand with my girl, and i can't talk to her, because i am ashamed. aw... did he just say "ashamed"? yeah, that's what i said. ashamed... of being beautiful? -of being a man? of being passionate? hah! then i'm ashamed, too. i say to you... let her in. -yes. all together now. on the count of three? oh. let her in. -no counting. let her in. okay, just go. what a wonderful cheese store. they had so many options. -that's good, 'cause i love cheese. all kinds of cheese. orange cheese, pizza cheese... i love all parts of pizzas, especially the dough. once i asked for a ball of dough, and they gave it to me and i took it to a park and ate it. -i'm so glad you opened up. but then i realized i needed some sauce... people always make fun of my eyes, but i guess they're... oh-ho! -good! winston, can i have a moment? uh, yeah. i love flip and nan. i hate fred. -no! i know! so fred's not shy, he just sucks. when i asked him what his favorite hobby was, he said, "towels." i've got to break up with that human pile of saltine dust. -i love flip! i mean, flip taught me how to be vulnerable with kc, you know? yeah. nancy ear-candled me. i can hear for miles. -their relationship's just such an inspiration, and i want to be around it, but what can we do? we ditch fred. forget about that dude. we establish our own relationships with flip and nancy. boom! -make future plans with just them. "future plans" is redundant, but other than that, i am on board! okay. now, i'm gonna need some alone time with flip and nancy. -can you stall fred? can i stall fred? of course i can stall fred. i would do anything. i love flip and nancy. -me, too! are we totally crazy? maybe! i don't even care! i don't even care, either. -hm! that's a vodka soda, i think. uh, it's close enough. i hear you! i'm getting to you! -stop yelling at me! shut up! i don't understand what cece's doing here. she led the walk-out. if she's gonna be here, can she at least help us? -i am not gonna scab. sorry, bae, i cannot scab, but i'm here for you as your fiancé. you are my rock right now. do you need anything? no, i'm good, babe. -okay, just let me know if you do. we are screwed! hey! shut up! i'm trying my hardest! -i shouldn't have fired javier. i got to apologize. this is all my fault. obviously, this is your fault... everybody knows that... but a boss never apologizes; it shows weakness. -i feel like if javier came back, the rest of the staff would come back. that's a great idea. i just said that. such a great idea. well, then give me one, because i said it first. -if you're giving it for that idea, if it's about that idea, then i deserve one. but i don't want one. and i felt left out. shut up! well, i wonder what's taking them. -probably just the traff. you know, the old 'ic. "the old 'ic." anyway, i was thinking, um, is there anything you guys like to do that fred doesn't like to do? 'cause, like, i kind of just want to hang out with you guys and not fred. -hm. thank you for doing this, by the way. this is great. slow night. just been... driving around, mouthing along to hip-hop songs. -miss officer, can we go? i'm very hungry, and my possible girlfriend and parents are waiting for us to order, and it feels like you've done over a million tests. that's what i been saying! where is the justice? you can go when i tell you to go. -now, for your next test... i want you to pretend you're about to break-dance, but do not actually break-dance. i didn't mean... buddy, i'm talk... why would he take that upon him... -don't ask. i mean, whatever. man, he's dumb! give us more hands. do it more animated. -but less alive. that's pretty good. keep all of that but pretend you're underwater. deeper. deeper. -okay, jess, uh, what's going on here? spill it. well... it's just you guys are so amazing. and it's really rough out there, and it's nice to be around something so great. and i-i'm not really a love match with your son, but i think i might be in love with you guys. -jess, we-we are glad that you think that we're amazing. and we think yes, we are. that you're amazing. -yes, we do. and, um... we know that fred isn't the best. we live with him. you know, he can be so boring. i-it's like the apple fell so far from the tree -oh, god... it fell in a truck and then disappeared across state lines. you guys are very honest. did fred ever tell you that he loves model trains? oh, those model trains. -but he's your son. and we love him. deeply. and that's why we want to make a deal with you. you and fred equals you and us. -wow. lo-lovely home. look, javier, we've-we've come to give you an incredible opportunity: for you to apologize and get your job back. so, what do you say? -okay, uh, well, javier, let me tell you something. uh, i've been in the business world for just shy of half of two decades, and i can tell you that an opportunity like this does not come along often. so... your boss is extending his hand. schmidt, stop. -look, javier, i'm sorry. i messed up. nick, don't apologize. i've never been a boss before, and it's weird, man. -you're my friend, javier. remember when your cousin was in town and-and my cousin was in town and we kissed each other's cousins and... then we peed on the ice maker? yes. i remember that fondly. so rough. -look, we both chose the bar over other stuff. i-i could've been a lawyer, and-and you were a dentist. were you, really? you were gonna be a dentist? endodontist. -look, it's my job to keep the bar open, but i still want it to be a great place to work. if you come back, that'll be my top priority. that and getting your old skanky cousin back in town, so i could make out with her. and my skanky cousin back in town so you could make out with her. so what do you say? -i say... your mother. your mother. your mother. your mother! your mother! -no, your mother! ah, you son of a bitch. i love you, man. oh. you're the best. -yeah, you guys! let's do it! my h... next hand in, right? n... -okay, so you're saying that if i date fred that we can all keep hanging out together. yes. we don't want you to lose us or for us to lose you. you're the child that we always wanted to have. imagine us as grandparents. -you think i haven't already? you'll learn to love fred. and even better, you'll never have to go on a first date again. yeah. that sounds really good. -there's no rush. i mean, why don't we go up to the vermont house in the next few weeks and all be together? vermont house? oh, yeah. it's an 18th century farmhouse that we kind of refurbished. -gah. oh. we send romantic notes on the clothesline. oh, my geez. and a loom in the barn. -poof. hey, there! hi! right over here, buddy. i am terribly sorry, you guys. -we got held up by an overzealous cop. you know, fred, uh, jess was just saying how much she likes model trains, right, jess? i didn't know you were a railie. that's so great. -what's your gauge? are you a g gauge? uh, g scale, gauge one? ho scale? -tt scale? probably not a tabletop girl, right? do you do it costumed? or do you just do it leisurely? i deal mostly with the, uh, transitional era, post-industrial revolution. -i collect a lot of open-air coal engines. i'm the president of my module group, actually. we use horn hook couplers, so i'm kind of one of the best at scenery building. uh, just finished this beautiful sanitation depot, made completely out of balsa. i also was the first to implement wire-framed humans so that the people are poseable. -station agent is now... now he can bend his arm to say hello as the train passes. there's one little girl i use... i call her sally. i'm also quite good at flocking snow, so i'm very popular around the holidays. -aah! stop! please stop. i just, uh... i ca... -i can't do this. i can't believe i was even considering doing this. i can't just settle down to settle down. i really, really want you to consider what you're giving up. yeah, terry gross owns the house next to us in vermont. -oh, my god. do you run into her at syrup festivals? we had a horse. until it ran away. its name was daniel. -daniel boulevard. i got to pick the last name, and i named him while we were in the car. i have to go! let's go. hey, listen, -jess and i really aren't that close. i'm all about horses. we're going! you know what, nick, you were right. a bar isn't just a place of business. -it's a place for people. mm. which is something i truly hate about it. a bunch of bottom-feeders here. chum at the bottom of the ocean. -yuck. i know. and that's why, as a manager, i'm thinking i have to fire you. maybe you should fire me. -what do you think? you save enough money, buy me out one day, you run this place on your own. you really think i could? yeah, definitely. i mean, your dumb bitch of a mother sure could. -what? your-your mother, who, uh, we're referring to in this circumstance as a dumb bitch. i think she could probably... wait, what?

(line trills) juan carlos (over phone): -hello? did i choose the right color? yes. pleases me to know you remember. oh, i remember many things, including the amounts of money you used to make before i left. -so you've been paying attention all the way from texas? enough to know that now that batman runs things, you don't own a part of the building anymore. sometimes you have to accept the way things are going. or not. you know, because if things go back the way they used to be, it's so much sweeter. -when have you ever known me not to have a plan? i like what i'm hearing. keep talking. changes are coming. i'll be in touch. -(breathes deeply) the queen: like i said, there's a flower that grows in the darkness, lirio de los valles. so many reasons it shouldn't exist. it must be celebrated. -you are one of those flowers. so you may as well bloom, because it's gonna be dark for a while. previously on wynonna earp. you're safe here amongst your sisters. my name is wynonna earp. -yeah. sorry i didn't tell you about stupid bobo's stupid powers. looking for this? i thought you were just happy to see me. i am finished here, waverly. -this was your plan the whole time? you told me to learn to drive. you came back. i knew our connection was real. ah! -what the hell was that? the impossible. would you girls kindly get your butts in here! willa! how much propofol did dolls give her? -enough to calm her down. i thought she was gonna hyperventilate to death. yeah, i know how she feels. how can a woman recently sprung from a hippie forest cult... be our big sister willa? -i don't know her at all. dude, none of us do. how do you think she feels? she doesn't even know she's herself, wynonna, so... i know this is all... overwhelming, but it's also a second chance. -good lord! the whole town will be upended. we can't tell anyone. not until we know for sure. "in conclusion, 44 markers tested with a sibling index of..." blablablabla" -and indicated by these patterns." you're sure? i mean, science doesn't lie, right? but nobody knows whose saliva sample this is or that you were comparing it to mine, right? you know, her being here could be dangerous. -hey, don't worry. black badge doesn't know anything, ok? plus i got a buddy down in the forensics lab who did a no-questions-asked... favour. but you don't believe me. only the part about you having a buddy. -if she really is our long-lost sister, then... technically, she's the heir. or an heir. then, there'd be both of you. -two of you. i was just gonna say, if she really is willa, then we stopped looking for her a long time ago, and we're really horrible people, but... get... eve. yeah, it's ok, you're safe. -it was real, wasn't it? i killed a man. lou got pulled into the ground. he didn't get pulled into the ground. you sent him to hell. -hell? well, she did. i-i think i should go. sorry. excuse me, i don't want to be rude, but i don't know any of you. -or what's happening. here, have a drink. i don't drink. you will.

don't i always? what about black badge? i'm handling it. i promise. -i put a lot of stake in a man's word, cryderman. but i no longer find the exploits of wynonna earp and deputy marshall dolls particularly entertaining. speaking of entertainment... the twins are locked and loaded. you want your johnson serviced before we part ways? -nice try. i'll see myself out. sad bobo is my least favourite bobo. is there anything we can do to make it better, baby? not my types. -then again it's goddamn poker spectacular. why not? no teeth. mr. stokes, welcome to my humble little town. with this high a buy-in, judge i don't think humble will cut it. -what's a high-stakes poker game without the stakes?

what the f...! -we've been waiting for you. it's been so long since we've had a man. a real man. oh, hello. oh, that feels amazing! -ah, aaaah! that's, that's a little tight. shhhh, baby. it'll all be over soon. we gotta get this to bobo. -hurry up. demons? like beelzebub and lucifer? hell no. hell yes, apparently. -and that's where they come from? and where we send 'em back. these revenants are the bad guys wyatt earp put down. when they resurrect they come back demon-adjacent. with powers. -are there any angels? sure. snow, charlie's and los. how can you think this is funny? how can you not? -this curse, our burden; if you don't laugh you'll go crazy. and i've been crazy. didn't care for it. you hate having to do this. -what would it make me if i didn't? here's the kicker. i was never supposed to be hunting revenants or breaking curses. it was supposed to be you. daddy, it's 4 in the morning, and i have school tomorrow. -every one of your little classmates will be slaughtered if you don't learn to protect them. this town. your sisters. now aim. don't hesitate. -because they sure won't. do it! ah! are you ok?

(speaks klingon) (speaks klingon) penny: okay. -that's enough. you know what? what is going on? fine, i told sheldon that her apartment's been finished, but then you just said it's not, so now i'm all confused. penny was just covering for me. -my place has been ready for two weeks. how could you lie to me? uh, she's enjoyed living with you. it's called being in love. mm-hmm, and what's it called when you secretly get rid of all your husband's stuff? -wha... that is not true! wh-wh-wh... bernadette told howard, howard told me. plus, i can see all my stuff is gone! -oh, so, you believe your friend, and your friend's wife and your own eyes over me? wow. you really didn't think i'd notice my stuff was missing? uh, did you notice your key chain? where's batman? -! hey. why did you tell howard i was hiding leonard's things? one sec. -why did you tell leonard i told you penny was hiding his things? ! it just came up because we-we were talking about secrets and... wait. -(speaks klingon) everybody stop it with that! i'm not really a part of this, so i'm just gonna dig in. and i'd like to know why you blabbed about my apartment. you're up, blabby. -amy, i'm sorry, i shouldn't have said anything. i guess it's okay. i'm sorry that i lied about my apartment. it's all right. and... -and what? your wizard robes are next to go. now that everything's out on the table, you-you think you two will keep living together? despite recent events, i do consider our experiment in cohabitation to have been positive. -are you saying you'd like to live with me? i'm open to the possibility. (gasps) (speaks ubbi dubbi) whatever. -you know, if he moves across the hall for good, leonard could keep the stuff you don't like in sheldon's old room. solves everything. that's a great idea! ooh, maybe i could turn it into a gaming den. -that would be amazing. wait, wait, hold on, do what? excuse me... that's my room. but you won't be living here. -but that's my room. but you won't be living here. but that's my room. you guys might want to start eating. but you won't be living here. -sweetie, once you stop paying rent, none of this is really yours. but that's my room. all: but you won't be living here! thank you for understanding. -hey, i get it. everybody wants to spend more time with me. i'm like a man made of sugar in a world of ants. good night. mm, night. -(smooches) if we did continue living together, would it be here? i don't know. it-it could be. of course there's... there's always your apartment. -s-sure, sure, we-we could live in my apartment. i hate your apartment. sorry, you brought it up? well, i suppose we could find a whole new place. you know, and, technically, we don't even have to stay in pasadena. -we could, we could move to altadena... or a place that doesn't even end in "dena." it's kind of exciting. i mean... we could do whatever we want. but what if we move and we don't like it? what if there's a smoker in the building? -or pets? or there could be mold. there could be traffic noise. (humming "theme from star trek") i'm gonna have to learn a whole new bus route. -(humming "theme from star trek") (stops humming) are you trying to soothe me by singing the star trek theme as a lullaby? yes. i'm not a child, don't do that. -sorry. do you know 2001: a space odyssey? (humming "also sprach zarathustra") all right, now that's soothing. -(continues humming "also sprach zarathustra") look, i-i get it, this is still my room; we haven't really made it yours. thank you. which is why i got you this pink power ranger. -put it anywhere you like. okay, but you may feel some discomfort. i'm kidding, i want you to feel at home here. decorate it any way that makes you happy. do you really mean that? -i really do. great, and just so you know, i'm not getting rid of all your stuff. yeah? what are you keeping? -that candle and you. what about my robot poster? buh, buh, buh, buh, buh. i can make do with just the candle. what's going on? -i'm struggling with the thought of leaving my old bedroom. can it be more of an internal struggle? i need to see it. while i'm gone, don't breathe on my pillow. how about if i just don't breathe at all? -that's my girl.

'cause if anything, he was anti-aristotelian. al-ghazali was anti-aristotelian? boy, you think you know a guy. okay. -open your eyes and see your new room. wow. i-i know i went a little overboard. we can always dial it back. no, no, no, no, no, it's-it's important to me that you have the bedroom you want. -oh, that means so much. i love you. i love you, too.

"well, you know you need to own up to what you did." -like, what did i do, man? there was no victim, nigga. get the fuck out my face. my cop tried to get me to snitch on you. word? -yeah, he was like, "we both know whose fault this is. what was he thinking?" it was, like, what... a total trap. man, you see?

let's go, gentlemen. i can't even tie a knot. i hear you want some dope? yes. -it's 500 a kilo. how much do you want? 100. and how will you pay? cash. -okay, drive. to i'estaque? drop me at the taxi rank. i don't shit where i eat. a netflix original series -face-off mr. chasseron, please... mr. chasseron, just one question. lucas barrès blames you for the upm's fake invoices. what do you have to say to him? -what i have to say to him is that when i was treasurer of the upm, i received my orders from the eighth floor from the general secretary, ms. avery. all the invoices i signed were seen and approved by her. if there was any misappropriation of funds, it came from on high. that's a serious accusation. -it's a statement of fact, not an accusation. did you leave the upm because you felt the tide turning? i wouldn't say that. let's just say i had my suspicions. what do you say to mr. barrès about the building work carried out? -are you guilty of embezzling public funds to renovate your home? do you know how these things were settled in the past? i'll get my lawyers to prepare the battleground and we'll go to court. thank you very much. wait... -thank you very much. goodbye. one last question... take half to the minders and put the rest in the cellars. what's up? -all good. no problems. today's a good day. when will your man be back? any minute. -why? i'm waiting for him. you can't wait here. are you going to stop me? just take your things and get out. -don't talk to me like that. did you see what he said about dad's candidates? so? so! you've become so stupid since you fell for that guy. -who's fallen for whom? it's nothing. leave us, barbara. how's it going? everything okay? -why did you say that? what did i say? about chasseron. he's top of the list in district one? the list of the outgoing mayor. -well? it's true, isn't it? stop it, lucas. you're nothing without my father. this is a campaign, julia. -the gloves are off. this isn't politics. do you want to destroy him? i want marseille like he did 20 years ago. it's the end that counts, not the means. -to win, you have to bite. have you become naïve? i held my tongue about the casino vote. not this time. talk to your father, not me. -we need to talk about your speech for the fourth. not now. give me two minutes. barrès: i need your help, now -vanessa: meet me at my office in 1 hour barrès: on my way i've come for my gun. -come in. come and get it. what are you doing? son of a bitch! the upm's invoices scandal won't backfire on you, will it? -how? my work for the departmental council has nothing to do with my responsibilities to the party. i don't have to cover my mouth whenever the party executive coughs. i'm relieved to hear it. have you ever had me here? -no, but i can if you want me to. no time. that was quite a stink bomb. that was just for starters. when's the next stage? -the party executives on monday. and then? come on tuesday and you'll see. show him in the side door. i need money, vanessa. -i can't promise housing and childcare centers if i come empty-handed. promises cost nothing. i must defend those who voted for me. even if i'm not elected mayor, i'll carry on helping them. i need money to rehouse the people living there. -people are dying in those ghettos. i shall bow to your generosity and line your pockets. when? when i can release the funds, after the second round. i'm counting on you. -come in. well? did you see him? he just left. he's less docile than i thought. -he loves marseille as much as taro does. we weren't expecting that. obviously. your office isn't bad. thanks. -has he already fucked you here on the sofa? no, not yet. thank you, gilbert. here, i'll cut it up for you, darling. that's okay like that, i'm not that hungry. -thank you. it will pass. what are you doing here? i wanted to see you. you should have called, dad. -i could have been at the office. it's a big place you've got, and nicely done out. very nice. i still owe you for the deposit. no, you don't owe your parents anything. -do you want a drink? my father said something very true once. he could fight tooth and nail against his political opponents... but as soon as he left to pick up his daughter from school, the fight was over. a wave of tenderness washed over him. a fragility. -other people saw that fragility. it made him seem more human. are you all right, dad? i feel completely lost, julia. i've never seen you like this. -i hide it well. what are you hiding? tell me? what's wrong? i don't know if i can carry on the fight. -the campaign. sorry. incoming call selim i should never have embarked on it. i think it might be one too many. -all that work for nothing? have you come here to tell me you've lost your bottle? your mother is so young, julia. are you scared of losing her? yes. -then abandon the campaign. i don't know if i can. listen, we're in it now. we have no choice. i love it when you say we have no choice. -shit, sorry. has it cost you a lot, me being mayor of marseille? meaning? i can't even remember if i went with you to the airport when you left for canada. no, dad, you weren't there, but mom was and so was lucas. -but i wasn't. the fact that you remember means it affected you. that's what i'm saying. i wasn't around enough. i'm sorry, dad, but now is not a good time. -all right? come on. i'm sorry. hello. hello. -what happened? what's wrong? éric shot me, the bastard. come and sit down. i'll change your dressing. -sorry. did i hurt you? what the hell happened with éric? what do you think, julia? why are you still living in that godforsaken place? -where else do you expect me to go? where? tell me something, anything. i want a clean apartment. with an elevator that works. -is that so hard? i swear, i've been saving every cent. i can't take any more, julia. i want to be able to invite you to my apartment, into my room. and take you in my arms. -to kiss you on the lips. that much you can do. did you know the mayor had a mistress in the building? seriously. i saw him downstairs. -come on, pick up the pace! faster. come on, keep moving, guys. keep moving. yes. -go for it! nice! nice work. well done, boys. well done. -louder. that's more like it. see? you can do it. there. -that was great, guys. now for more serious matters than training sessions. the election campaign has begun. you know what that means? we have one choice, only one. -you must back our district mayor, lucas barrès. without him there'll be no funding. i've brought a friend with me. he's your local representative. you need to help him. -the first round is just one week away. it's now or never. we're relying on you. you know who to vote for. lucas barrès. -who? lucas barrès! right. well done. well done, guys. -go on, get into position. yeah. nice work. well done. want to try on some pants? -or try somewhere else? no, it's good here. but there's nothing you like. let's look elsewhere, then. actually, i think i'll go home. -stop it, mom. you can't just let yourself go like this. i'm not letting myself go. i'm seeing a specialist in two weeks. i'll come with you. -what difference will that make? soon you'll have the pleasure of pushing me in a wheelchair. bye. love you. rachel: -how are you? can we meet soon? barrès: very busy at the moment. i'll call you. -how much longer do we have to hide? julia. why don't you want people to see us together? because i have a secret. what is your secret? -i'm the mayor's mistress. right, and i'm his mother's lover! no. no, you're the guy who's screwing the mayor's daughter. be serious, julia. -this is pissing me off. my name is julia taro. seriously? as for employment, we must create competition for industry and services and encourage negotiations between the unions and businesses. people criticize the mayor's program, but who launched the tramway and extended the subway? -who developed the harbor and created 2,000 jobs? ask me. i know. wasn't it your mother? then there's the hôtel-dieu hospital... -what? did you use god's name in vain? you said god sleeps in a hotel. crazy bitch! she's sick! -why are you here? we're campaigning too. really? who for? no candidate would behave like you. -we're campaigning for ourselves. can we carry on? thank you. of course. get out of here. -this is completely pointless. it's that way. that way! and you can fuck off! shut your face! -mommy's girl! hey, julia. julia? stop coming here, éric. why? -leave sélim alone. are you still seeing him? yes, and i never had any intention of stopping. and i told him who i was. i want to give you your watch back. -here. you need to move on. hello. hello. julia. -thanks. julia. can i talk to you, please? sit down. do you still want to be a journalist? -yes, if i can choose a pen name. right. cut your teeth on this. if you find anything, we'll publish it. that will be all. -by the way, where is that house? in the camargue. why did you put it there? it's a test. really? -people either know or they ask. that's how i assess my colleagues. you sound like the dean i had in seventh grade. have a good day. what's going on? -she's hurt! oh fuck! claudia! claudia! "micheline zarouel. -i have info on lucas barrès. i'm from félix pyat in marseille." as i keep telling you, lucas, i didn't know the ins and outs of the accounts. i was betrayed by my associates. -which associates? you must allow me time to figure that out. i have ordered an internal inquiry. listen, sabine, you have both a personal and a political responsibility. so what do you intend to do? -i intend to await the results of the inquiry. i think you're lying. i think you covered up the fraud. i'm sorry. we must call a meeting, let the members decide. -it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask for transparency in our party's accounts. then you shall have it. the books are at your disposal. that won't be enough to extinguish the fire. stronger measures are needed. -and what do you... you must resign. that will leave you free to muster your defense. i'm free, all right. well, in that case... -i'll organize a new election. will you stand again? but édouard... i'll be backing ms. d'abrantès. all those in favor? -in that case, i won't be standing again. if you're not going to stand again, you might as well leave. those in favor? édouard? very well. -lucas... you're a bastard, and small with it. say that a bit louder. i didn't hear you. i'll leave after the municipal elections. fine. -right, the meeting is over. thank you. that's that, then. ladies and gentlemen, the party executives have accepted the general secretary's resignation. ms. avery will occupy her post until the municipal elections. -on the monday of the second round of the election the upm party will elect a new general secretary. any questions? who is the source of the leaks leading to ms. avery's downfall? i have no idea. marseille is your city, isn't it? -of course it's my city. but above all it is the city of the mayor, mr. taro. do you think the mayor of marseille might be behind the leaks? why don't you ask him? one more question, mr. barrès. -thank you. have a nice day. my boss gave this to me. micheline zarouel who lived in félix pyat. do you know her? -micheline zarouel? never heard of her. can you ask around? yes, okay. huh? -move! no! i brought it back for you. you're right, a gun is evidence. i don't want it at my place. -that watch i gave you, it didn't fall off the back of a truck. your boyfriend and i robbed a jeweler's. isn't that right, sélim? didn't you tell her? i'd better leave you to it. -you have things to discuss. is that true? i can explain. is what he said true? let me explain. -why do you do shit like that? i was born in félix pyat, okay? i'll always be on minimum wage. the ghetto is like a prison and i refuse to serve a life sentence. you'll never understand. -you're just a spoiled little brat, born with a silver spoon in her mouth. say you'd known? i'd have nothing to do with you. because you're perfect, right? you have no flaws. -sleeping with you is a flaw. now get out of here. i've changed. go! just go! -mr. taro, what do you think about ms. avery's resignation? what about the fake invoices? and what about her resignation? did ms. avery resign of her own accord or was she forced to resign? please answer our questions. -mr. taro, please! there are tweets about julia. what do they say? go ahead. she's got a boyfriend in the ghetto. -what the hell? dad: what is this tweet? the mayor's daughter is sleeping with a dealer and smoking joints. is she dealing too? -julia: don't worry. i'll fix this. this is éric. leave a message. -you're a bastard, éric. you're a fucking bastard. dad: see you at your office in one hour. the polls? -barrès is still ahead. by how many points? six. he'll gain three more after this. so i was better off being second on chasseron's list. -i don't think so. with the scandal he's caused, he's far from home and dry. what a mess. did you send that tweet? i'll leave you to it. -no one else knew. not now. not here. you'll pay for this. you're mixing with the mafia? -no. you've turned into a real shit. go on, off you go. you're a shit and a lapdog! let's go. -don't let her talk to you like that. barbara, we must organize a meeting of co-owners. we can't possibly leave people to live in a hovel like this. ms. perez. how are you? -very well, thank you. nasser! come here. hello. i remember you. -you came to see me about young moussa and the nursery. i'll see you after the election. nasser, this is the mayor i told you about. for the boxing club. that's a great initiative. -i can get you funding. how much? as much as you need. in exchange, get people to vote for him. give him some more. -there. how do i know you'll come up with the goods? i'm loyal but i need to be sure i can make a living. we'll talk about it after the elections. but if the locals don't vote for me, you'll get nothing. -the locals will do as i say. great. nasser, isn't it? i'll see you again. take me back. -julia, don't talk to me like that. don't call me a shit. was it you who sent that tweet? no. it's over, éric. -you've gone too far. it's not my fault. i'm not a shit. let go of me! stop it, éric. -it's over! let go of her. pow! i recognize you, man. don't worry, i won't forget your face. -get lost, kid. don't talk to me like that. just leave. is that you saying that? i don't want to see you again. -you'll pay for this, julia. you'll pay dearly for this. what have you got to say for yourself? nothing. are you letting the internet speak for you? -is it true? what, that i slept with a dealer? yes. i don't know, dad. i don't ask the guys i sleep with whether they sell drugs. -and what if they do sell drugs? then i get high with them. who i sleep with is my business. whether this guy deals is his business. if it lands you and i in the shit, that's our business. -i'll take care of it, alright? yes, by choosing lucas barrès as my deputy, i'm backing youth. did you know she was pregnant? she never told me. -imagine the uproar if the story gets out. by voting against the casino, you betrayed me and marseille. you maybe, but not marseille. i've come to make peace. i might be handing the mayoralty over to you. -but i need to tell you something first. something you probably don't know, something very important. really? i'm listening. do you have some idea of what i'm about to say? -yes, of course. i've known for a long time. what is it, then? who you are. i've known since i was ten. -you abandoned my mother. and you allowed me to be born in prison like a dog. well? nothing to say? robert, you should go. -you disgust me. can't we talk? i took you under my wing. i helped you climb the ladder and i've never done you any harm. i've... -that's bullshit. you'd have done the same for anyone you chose to take over from you. but you aren't just anyone. robert, it's only natural for you to have developed feelings for me. i must admit, i've felt something for you at times. -but it's too late now. why? because there was only one way out for me. over the years i've clung onto that. it's become like a backbone for me. -without it i'd collapse and fall. as a kid i didn't understand why i didn't have a father. i saw you on tv, making fine speeches, the savior of marseille, the man who was going to eradicate poverty and delinquency. but where were you when i needed you? when i was shut in a closet for the night, when i was being fed from a dog bowl, where was the father i was waiting for? -what were you doing? you never came. i waited in vain and you never came. so yes, i've tried to understand you. i've tried to understand you. -i've tried... i've tried to forgive you. i've tried to forgive you. i can't. just try, lucas. -try. i can't. it's too late. in the end, i understood. what matters to you is marseille, much more than your own family. -is that why you voted against selling the j1? i had to open hostilities somehow. you acted too soon. another month and marseille would have been yours. that would have been too easy. -if i give you the power will you turn it down? real power is taken, not given. i'll snatch marseille from your grasp and you'll end up alone, all alone, with nothing. you hate me that much? go on, go home... -daddy. he won't find you... reddington... if that's what you're hoping for or worried about. tom's alive. you don't have agnes. -i'm not worried about anything. i won't apologize for trying to restore my family. even if it means destroying mine. reddington... he took you from me. -and you hate him for it, for stealing your child. i know how that feels. you would've been with agnes now if you hadn't tried to escape. yes. but then again, so would you. -tell me. i got the girl. find a way across the straits, then contact my office in the keys. do it quickly. agnes has been away from her mother too long. -she's gonna kill us! aah! * the blacklist * season 04 episode 02 "mato" precisely synchronized by srjanapala red: the child... -no. liz and agnes. no. please assist mr. kaplan. you all right? -where are they? in danger. how did you find us? tom: i had aram tracking that car. -i spent the better part of the day stuck in the trunk. who was the driver? had to be one of kirk's hired hands. 6-foot, rough trade, dark skin. likes western wear. -mato. i saw his face. who's mato? a finder. a tracker. -killer when necessary. how do we find him? i don't know. you don't know or you won't say? we had a mutual friend. -he gave mato his start as a skip tracer. it was years ago. little nikos. i can talk to him. if he knows anything, he'll tell me. -west texas' favorite bail bondsman. an amarillo institution for 25 years to life. dembe, call edward. tell him to ready the jet. we're gonna pay a visit to little nikos. -excuse me. sorry. it's mr. reddington. red: we have two targets... -elizabeth keen and agnes keen... traveling separate paths to an unknown location. constantin rostov, also know as alexander kirk, fled with elizabeth in a private seaplane that departed from playa larga... mm, less than an hour ago, due west. aram: what about agnes? i have a lead on agnes. -she was abducted by one of kirk's private contractors, a high-priced tracker known only as mato. he missed the flight off the island. then he's trapped in cuba. there's no way he'll make it past the pnr after the international incident you just caused there. -ordinarily i would agree with you, agent navabi, but mato isn't your garden-variety mercenary. from what i'm told, he's an indian... part sioux, part i don't know what, son of a shaman. mato could sneak up on a deer in a glade and smack it on the rump. he'll find his way off the island. we'll notify the seaports just in case. -good luck. and let us know what you turn up. contact customs and border patrol. they work with the coast guard to monitor the air and waters around cuba. sir, i don't understand why we're going to such extremes... -agent ressler is on a return flight from cuba. it's time to set aside your personal feelings and help out this investigation. this is my fault. if anything happens to elizabeth or the baby... you have nothing to apologize for. -you tried to help us find a normal life. i'd take that risk again. i don't regret trying to get away from you. of course you don't. regret requires age or wisdom. -we were trying to protect agnes. i guess that didn't work out. when we get to amarillo, i think it would be best to do as i say, both of you. mayday, mayday, mayday. -plane down off the coast of havana. 23 degrees, 52 minutes north. mayday, mayday, mayday. can anyone hear me? -my sat phone. gone. you need to untie me, masha. mayday, mayday, mayday, is anyone there? what was that? -you need to know that agnes is safe. she'll be cared for. you see anything? one of the pontoons is taking on water. we don't have long. -untie me! masha, i'm your father. you can't let me drown. watch me. we've got every sonar operator in the miami district working on this. -we launched the search as soon as i received your call. any chance the plane is still in range? a light aircraft, flying low and slow? we'll find it. we monitor 2 million square miles of ocean from miami. -agent ressler, welcome back. this is captain daly. he's our liaison with the us coast guard. i'm authorized to give you full access to our radar screens. if that seaplane is flying low, won't it avoid detection? -most radar transmitters are on the ground, aimed at the sky. ours float in the sky on balloons, looking down. they're designed to detect small aircraft, like the one you described. if you don't mind me asking, who's on the plane? friend. -a fugitive. daly: sounds complicated. when we get inside, let me talk to him. he and i have history. -he and i don't. i'll be more persuasive. is that what this has come to? the chance for you to punish me by hurting someone i care about? you are not my concern. -agnes is. if someone you care about is hurt in the process of finding her, so be it. do you remember what i looked like that night? lying in the street, my head torn open... annie's body in front of me. -you know i don't know what you looked like. i was away. right, but he does. little nikos sat by my bed in the hospital. when i healed, he gave me work, a reason to push on. -he's a decent man. i'm only here to serve you today because of his kindness. you may speak to him first. briefly. afternoon. -can i help you?

his stomach. -and where might we find his stomach? woman: i told him he couldn't come in. oh, my. me and my timing. -man: what the hell is going on? is this a lap band? i knew all those desserts would catch up with little nikos one day. i think i see some baklava in there. -put that down. helen, get him out of here. call building security. i need your capable team here to wake up your patient. what? -call security right now. wake him up. i can't. we're in the middle of a procedure. i'd be putting his life in danger. -his life's already in danger. how 'bout yours? there are no life vests, no inflatable rafts. we're gonna flip. our only chance is out there, holding onto the pontoons. -you mean my only chance. you're not going anywhere. we're not gonna survive unless we trust each other. i'll never trust you. we're a family. -not reddington. us. if you wanna hold your child in your arms again, we need to trust each other. the coast guard just picked up a brief elt signal from a light aircraft west of havana, somewhere in the gulf of mexico. an elt signal? -are you telling me their plane went down? it appears that way, sir. but we have a location for them. it's not that simple. this elt signal's an older model. -analog frequency. no digital signal to carry gps coordinates. elts are notoriously unreliable, especially if they're... submerged underwater. we've narrowed the search field to 220 square miles. sar teams are gearing up now. -i know this is not about me, it is about agent keen, but i don't know if i have the strength to lose her again. none of us do. stay on it. say a prayer. and notify me the minute you have an update. -he's awake and in excruciating pain. i gave him a self-administering morphine drip to manage his discomfort. even that won't be enough unless you get what you want quickly and leave. remember... we're getting what we need, one way or another. kate. -what are you... what's happening? we only have a minute. raymond reddington is here. he wants mato. -tell me how to find mato. no. he'll kill you if you don't. he'll kill mato if i do. i'm not gonna hurt you, nikos. -you're a good man. loyal. protective of those who are protective of you. i admire that in a person. unfortunately for you, i'm surrounded by people who don't. -tom, i'd like to introduce you to little nikos, the man who's protecting the sociopath who stole your baby. good luck with that surgery, nick. don't let go. no matter what, don't let go. they're looking. -the fbi, the coast guard. they'll find us. they'll find you... no. no! -i told you not to let go. i can help you. it's too much. you said we have to trust each other. do you trust me?

-i'm sorry it had to be nikos. if there's no sincerity behind your words, don't waste them. what would you have me say, kate? say that you understand. i didn't just give you my friend as an act of contrition. -i'm not sorry for what i did. i betrayed you for the same reason i just betrayed nikos... to keep elizabeth safe, just like you asked me to all those years ago, when you first put her in my arms as a baby girl, only now she has a baby girl of her own, and your existence in their lives puts them in constant danger. say that you understand or don't say anything at all. hey, stay awake. -stay with me. talk to me. tell me, uh, about your parents. what were their names? help! -over here! help! i got a phone number and a password. nakaidoklini? it's a famous medicine man. -i don't know. you text that name to that number using nikos' cellphone, and mato will show up in person at the bail office. it's how they do it. i'm so sorry, nikos. kate. -oh, thank you. thank you. uh, he needs medical attention. first aid? uh, do you understand? -medicina. ¿medicina? sí. i have a first aid kid... good, good. -show me. he needs it right now. right now. why did you save me? why? -because you know where agnes is. is that the only reason? you need to keep pressure on that leg. you've lost a lot of blood. i saved you because of agnes, but... also maybe because you might be telling the truth. -me llamo elizabeth keen. i'm with the fbi. that man was in my custody when our plane crashed. medicina? no, no, no, no. -uh... señor... terrorist. muy malo. muy malo. terrorista? -shh, shh, shh, yes. uh, necesito un radio. radio? sí, sí. do you have a gun? -pistola? pistola? the gun is in the toolbox. uh, i don't... no comprendo. -23.227 north. no, slow down. please slow down i believe he said the pistol is in the toolbox. come in. -coast guard just intercepted a distress call on the gulf. some cuban fishing vessel. keen was on board. so she's alive? you can come in, aram. -sorry, i just wanted to hear the update, which is... the greatest update ever. did you talk to her? no, but we heard her voice. the pilot was in the middle of giving the coordinates when the transmission cut out. the signal cut out? -why? could you get it back? all that matters is that the search teams have a target now. they're gonna find that boat. agent ressler... the signal. -what aren't you telling me? keen's voice. the last thing we heard was her asking if there was a gun on board. honor the sacred, honor the earth, and everyone who shares it. -walk in beauty and balance. oy, kak krasivo! i take photo for facebook, yeah? you don't want your money? i need to know that you're gonna safely deliver that baby to kirk. -his jet is waiting at mia. put the girl into kirk's hands only. i understand. if this man dies... it'll be your fault. -you got him involved. i need an eta. man: intercept team should reach your position in 20 minutes. they want to know how many passengers, over. -three passengers, and make sure there's a medical team standing by. two passengers. over. i know you were lying about believing in me. but i promise, once we reach our destination, you'll know that everything i've told you is true. -of course you believe that. you're a classic narcissist. you were, what, abused as a child? abandoned? made to feel powerless? -you must've suffered some sick, traumatic, dark event to believe that the sick, traumatic dark things you've done to me and everyone i care about could ever result in me loving you. you're doing fine, maisy. he should be here any minute. sorry about nikos. kaplan: -you did your job. i know, but... i didn't mean to... he knew where my baby was, all right? that's the only reason i pushed so hard. -why are you telling me this? because he's your friend. so you want me to make you feel better? everyone wants me to make things easier for them. cleaner. -that's what i am, after all, the cleaner. just forget i brought it up. in my desire to make life easier for your baby, i betrayed raymond, and now he doesn't know what to do with me. well, he knows what he has to do, and he wants me to make it easier for him. -but i won't. i'm not here to make him feel better, and i'm not here to make you feel better, tom. i need some air. man: watch yourself! -where's my daughter? ! where's my daughter? uhh! huh? -where is she? ! where... where's my daughter? huh? where is she? -red: tom! let's get out of the heat. thank you. of course, raymond. -found your boat near madeira bay, a few miles offshore. it's being escorted to a nearby marina. was there anyone on board? where's the survivor? excuse me. -fbi. we need a minute. sir, the woman, the one who was with you, where is she? i don't understand. -where is the woman? he took her. on a speedboat. they took her away in a speedboat. who took her away? -quien se la llevo? the terrorist. where the hell are they? put romina on the phone. i want agnes to see her mother. -where is she? we'll all be together soon. hi, agnes. hi. did you hear that? -we're gonna be together soon. i love you. red: this'll be quick, as i have no time and less patience. tell me where alexander kirk took -elizabeth keen and her daughter. the strong silent type. you're not doing much to break down stereotypes here. i'm not afraid of pain. mm. -or dying, i'm sure. you know, some years back, i was hiking devils tower for a bracing dip in the spiritual vortex, when who did i run into but the tribal leader of the lakota nation, a man of vast responsibility. he invited me to witness the extreme version of the sun dance ritual. not just anyone can attend the sun dance. true, and you can't get a table at the fat duck without a reservation. -but i find in either case, a generous donation gets you in the teepee. i watched a tribal member, much like yourself, suspend himself from a cottonwood tree with flesh hooks through his chest. three hours he dangled, skin stretched like salt water taffy, while he left his body to communicate with the great spirit. like you, the man on that tree didn't fear death. but you know what terrified him? -the thought of eternity on earth, trapped in a dark box, surrounded by rotting flesh, forever. i hear that's why some native people leave spirit holes in their caskets, to allow their souls to... pass on to the next great hunting ground in the sky. after i shoot you, sir, you will be locked in an airtight, concrete crypt, unless you tell me what i need to know before those figures stop dancing. kirk said they're going to the summer palace. that's all i know. -yes. i know the summer palace. liz: what is this place? it's yours. -it belongs to you and agnes, of course. it's a lovely location to raise a little girl, don't you think? the armed goons don't do much for the landscape. well, the coercion was necessary and temporary. all i ever intended to do was show you, prove to you who you are, who i am. -and then you can choose for yourself. like a russian fairy tale. that's right. excuse me, elizabeth. i have much more to show you, but my physician is waiting for me. -hello, elizabeth. my name is katja. you can think of me as the palace keeper. palace? the summer palace. -it's what mr. kirk calls the cottage. anything you need during your stay, let me know. director cooper. red: i know where elizabeth is, harold, where kirk is taking agnes. -cape breton island, nova scotia. kirk owns a cottage there where he would go to escape the dreary summers in novosibirsk. are they hurt? injured? i don't know and i can't find out. -i'm deep in the heart of amarillo, texas. how quickly can your people get there? agents ressler and navabi are flying back from miami. i can redirect their plane. i'll send you a location. -i'll handle this quickly. you always do, kate. can i get you something else? yes. my daughter. -i understand, elizabeth. i know some of what you've been through, but little agnes will be here soon. and when she's here, you will need your strength. tell me about kirk. how long have you known him? -i have worked here for nine years. i took over from my mother. she worked my entire childhood maintaining the summer palace. so you know him well? no, actually, i don't. -he hasn't visited here in years. it's been... too painful for him. until now. this was my bedroom. welcome home, masha. -i promised you the truth. but... there was a fire. i... i shot my father. i remember. -what's the memory of a small child? you didn't remember me or your mother or this room. reddington lied to you, masha. he told you your father was dead, but thanks to you... what you did on the water... -i'm very much alive. all the stories reddington's told you about who he is and his... connection to you... he knew you were looking for answers and he took advantage of that to re-enter your life. but the answers you've been looking for... are here. reddington, he was in love with your mother and he's obsessed with you. but it can't be true. -i said too much. you must be feeling overwhelmed. i'll go and check on your daughter's arrival. do you know why i call this cottage... the summer palace? we came here for a vacation one july, and my little princess loved it. -it's been a palace ever since. man: spread out! come on, let's go! return fire! -aah! no. move in! man: hands in the air! -in the air! stand down! stand down, she's one of ours. secure the house. find kirk. -find that child. he's gone, and if agnes is with him, she's gone, too. he's waiting for you inside. where are we? home. -your home. let's go. what is this place? i'm gonna find her. stay with the car. -there are places back here that have never borne a human footprint. 53,000 acres of virgin wilderness, all but one owned by the bureau of land management. one acre, a jewel. a single buildable acre. like a flawless diamond set in a sea of emeralds. -the real estate equivalent of a unicorn. i acquired it some years ago from a family who had held it in trust for over a century and a half. beautiful. yes. you understand, kate, that i... -have no choice? isn't that the speech, raymond? that i know too much? every single one of your weaknesses, all your faults, all your secrets. i dedicated my life to you. -you entrusted me with everything you value... your freedom, your life, a child. i have never failed you. what you see as a betrayal of trust was actually a fulfillment of your wishes, to protect your interests. no more, no less. you presumed to decide what was best for me. -even if i resolve the anger, the pain you caused... i can't trust you. ever. i'm standing before a stranger. and yet, i know you believe what you did was best for elizabeth, which is why i brought you here. -you've told me you've always wanted a pristine, unspoiled place to live out your days in peace. so the acre is yours. for all eternity. precisely synchronized by srjanapala alexander: -he won't find you. reddington. if that's what you're hoping for, or worried about. tom's alive. you don't have agnes. -i'm not worried about anything. i won't apologize for trying to restore my family. even if it means destroying mine. reddington, he took you from me. and you hate him for it. -for stealing your child. i know how that feels. you would have been with agnes now if you hadn't tried to escape. yes. but then again, so would you. -(cellphone rings) tell me. i got the girl. alexander: find a way across the straits, then contact my office in the keys. do it quickly. -agnes has been away from her mother too long. don't kill her. alexander: you're gonna kill us! (grunts) -(gunshot) aah! the child. (grunts) (groans) -liz and agnes. reddington: no. please, assist mr. kaplan. -you all right? (clears throat) (dembe grunts) where are they? in danger. how did you find us? -tom: i had aram tracking that car. spent the better part of the day stuck in the trunk. who was the driver? had to be one of kirk's hired hands. -six foot. rough trade. dark skin. likes western wear. mato. -i saw his face. who's mato? a finder. a tracker. killer when necessary. -how do we find him? i don't know. you don't know, or you won't say? we had a mutual friend. he gave mato his start as a skip tracer. -it was years ago. little nikos? i can talk to him. if he knows anything, he'll tell me. west texas' favorite bail bondsman. -an amarillo institution for 25 years to life. dembe, call edward. tell him to ready the jet. we're gonna pay a visit to little nikos. (liz grunts) -(metal creaking) (water pouring) excuse me. sorry. it's mr. -reddington. we have two targets, elizabeth keen and agnes keen. traveling separate paths to an unknown location. constantin rostov, also known as alexander kirk, fled with elizabeth in a private seaplane that departed from playa larga less than an hour ago, due west. aram: -what about agnes? i have a lead on agnes. she was abducted by one of kirk's private contractors. a high-priced tracker known only as mato. he missed the flight off the island. -then he's trapped in cuba. there's no way he'll make it past the pnr after the international incident you just caused there. ordinarily, i would agree with you, agent navabi, but mato isn't your garden-variety mercenary. from what i'm told, he's an indian. part sioux, part, i don't know what, son of a shaman. -mato could sneak up on a deer in a glade and smack it on the rump. he'll find his way off the island. we'll notify the seaports, just in case. good luck, and let us know what you turn up. (receiver beeps) contact customs and border patrol. -they work with the coast guard to monitor the air and waters around cuba. sir, i don't understand why we're going to such extremes... agent ressler is on a return flight from cuba. it's time to set aside your personal feelings and help out this investigation. this is my fault. -if anything happens to elizabeth or the baby... you've got nothing to apologize for. you tried to help us find a normal life. i'd take that risk again. i don't regret trying to get away from you. -reddington: of course you don't. regret requires age or wisdom. we were trying to protect agnes. i guess that didn't work out. -when we get to amarillo, i think it would be best to do as i say. both of you. mayday, mayday, mayday. plane down off the coast of havana. 23 degrees, 52 minutes north. -82 degrees, 49 minutes south. mayday, mayday, mayday. can anyone hear me? my sat phone. gone. -(static crackling) you need to untie me, masha. mayday, mayday, mayday. is anyone there? (loud clank) what was that? you need to know that agnes is safe. -she'll be cared for. you see anything? one of the pontoons is taking on water. we don't have long. untie me. -masha, i'm your father, you can't let me drown. watch me. (static) we've got every sonar operator in the miami district working on this. we launched the search as soon as i received your call. -samar: any chance the plane is still in range? daly: a light aircraft, flying low and slow, we'll find it. we monitor two million square miles of ocean from miami. -agent ressler, welcome back, this is captain daly. he's our liaison with the us coast guard. i'm authorized to give you full access to our radar screens. that seaplane is flying low, won't it avoid detection? most radar transmitters are on the ground, aimed at the sky. -ours float in the sky on balloons, looking down. they're designed to detect small aircraft, like the one you described. if you don't mind me asking, who's on the plane? a fugitive. a friend. -daly: sounds complicated. when we get inside, let me talk to him. he and i have history. he and i don't. -i'll be more persuasive. is that what this has come to? the chance for you to punish me by hurting someone i care about? you are not my concern. agnes is. -if someone you care about is hurt in the process of finding her, so be it. do you remember what i looked like that night? lying in the street, my head torn open, annie's body in front of me? you know i don't know what you looked like. i was away. -right. but he does. little nikos sat by my bed in the hospital. when i healed, he gave me work, a reason to push on. he's a decent man. -i'm only here to serve you today because of his kindness. you may speak to him first. briefly. (door bell jingles) afternoon. can i help you? -little nikos, please. wish i could oblige, miss... mr. kaplan. an old friend. mr. kaplan, i wish i could oblige, but nikos is taking a little nap. -perhaps it's time for a wake-up call. i'm afraid that's not possible. he's in surgery. where? his stomach. -and where might we find his stomach? receptionist: i told him he couldn't come in. oh, my. me and my timing. -what the hell is going on? is this a lap band? i knew all those desserts would catch up with little nikos one day. i think i see some baklava in there. put that down. -helen, get him out of here. call building security. i need your capable team here to wake up your patient. what? call security. -right now. wake him up. i can't. we're in the middle of a procedure, i'd be putting his life in danger. -his life's already in danger. how about yours? there are no life vests. no inflatable rafts. we're going to flip. -our only chance is out there, holding onto the pontoons. you mean my only chance. you're not going anywhere. (exhales sharply) we're not gonna survive unless we trust each other. -i'll never trust you. we're family. not reddington. us. if you want to hold your child in your arms again, we need to trust each other. -the coast guard just picked up a brief elt signal from a light aircraft west of havana, somewhere in the gulf of mexico. an elt signal? are you telling me their plane went down? it appears that way, sir. but we have a location for them. -it's not that simple. this elt signal is an older model. analog frequency. no digital signal to carry gps coordinates. elts are notoriously unreliable. -especially if they're submerged underwater. we've narrowed the search field to 220 square miles. sar teams are gearing up now. i know this is not about me, it is about agent keen, but i don't know if i have the strength to lose her again. none of us do. -stay on it, say a prayer, and notify me the minute you have an update. he's awake and in excruciating pain. i gave him a self-administering morphine drip to manage his discomfort. even that won't be enough unless you get what you want quickly and leave. remember, we're getting what we need, one way or another. -(monitor beeping steadily) (groans softly) kate. what are you... what's happening? we only have a minute. -raymond reddington is here. (grunts) he wants mato. (breathing heavily) tell me how to find mato. no. -he'll kill you if you don't. nikos: he'll kill mato if i do. i'm not going to hurt you, nikos. you're a good man. -loyal. protective of those who are protective of you. i admire that in a person. unfortunately for you, i'm surrounded by people who don't. tom, i'd like to introduce you to little nikos. -the man who's protecting the sociopath who stole your baby. good luck with that surgery, nick. don't let go. no matter what, don't let go. they're looking. -the fbi. the coast guard. they'll find us. they'll find you, which is enough. no. -(grunts) (inhales deeply) (gasps) (grunts) i told you not to let go. -i can help you. it's too much. you said we have to trust each other. do you trust me? yes. -then hold on. they will find us. they will find us. this is my little girl. it's agnes. -i'm gonna put this right here. because she's the reason i'm doing this, remember that. just take this. that's enough, yeah.

(whirring) -(nikos screams and cries) i'm sorry it had to be nikos. if there's no sincerity behind your words, don't waste them. (nikos screaming) what would you have me say, kate? say that you understand. -i didn't just give you my friend as an act of contrition. i'm not sorry for what i did. i betrayed you for the same reason i just betrayed nikos, to keep elizabeth safe. just like you asked me to all those years ago, when you first put her in my arms as a baby girl. only now, she has a baby girl of her own, and your existence in their lives puts them in constant danger. -say that you understand, or don't say anything at all.

(music continues playing) -(gunshot) (turns off engine) liz: what is this place? alexander: it's yours. -it belongs to you. and agnes, of course. it's a lovely location to raise a little girl, don't you think? the armed goons don't do much for the landscape. the coercion was necessary and temporary. -all i ever intended to do was show you, prove to you who you are, who i am. and then you can choose for yourself. like a russian fairy tale. that's right. excuse me, elizabeth. -i have much more to show you, but my physician is waiting for me. hello, elizabeth. my name is katja. you can think of me as the palace keeper. palace? -the summer palace. it's what mr. kirk calls the cottage. anything you need during your stay, let me know. (telephone rings and beeps) director cooper. -reddington: i know where elizabeth is, harold. where kirk is taking agnes, cape breton island, nova scotia. kirk owns a cottage there where he would go to escape the dreary summers of novosibirsk. are they hurt? -injured? reddington: i don't know and i can't find out. i'm deep in the heart of amarillo, texas. how quickly can your people get there? -agents ressler and navabi are flying back from miami. i can redirect their plane. i'll send you a location. i'll handle this quickly. you always do, kate. -(door closes) can i get you something else? yes, my daughter. i understand, elizabeth. i know some of what you've been through, but little agnes will be here soon. -and when she is here, you will need your strength. tell me about kirk. how long have you known him? i have worked here for nine years. i took over from my mother. -she worked my entire childhood maintaining the summer palace. so, you know him well. no, actually, i don't. he hasn't visited here in years. it's been too painful for him. -until now. this was my bedroom. welcome home, masha. i promised you the truth. but there was a fire. -i shot my father, i remember. what's the memory of a small child? you didn't remember me, or your mother, or this room. reddington lied to you, masha. he told you your father was dead, but thanks to you, what you did on the water, i'm very much alive. -the stories reddington's told you about who he is and his connection to you, he knew you were looking for answers, and he took advantage of that to re-enter your life. but the answers you've been looking for are here. reddington, he was in love with your mother. and he is obsessed with you. it can't be true. -but you know it is. i'm sorry, i've said too much. you must be feeling overwhelmed. i'll go and check on your daughter's arrival. do you know why i call this cottage the "summer palace"? -we came here for a vacation one july and my little princess loved it. it's been a palace ever since. (speaking russian) man: elizabeth! -(tires screech) (car doors close) man: spread out! come on, let's go! (man shouts indistinctly) (gunshots) return fire! -no! hands in the air! in the air! stand down! stand down! -she's one of ours. secure the house. find kirk. find the child. man: -i got hot. (birds chirping) samar: he's gone. and if agnes is with him, she's gone, too. -(radio beeps) (crying) he's waiting for you inside. where are we? home. -your home. let's go. what is this place? (exhales sharply) i'm gonna find her. -(sniffles) stay with the car. there are places back here that have never borne a human footprint. 53,000 acres of virgin wilderness. all but one owned by the bureau of land management. -one acre. a jewel. a single buildable acre... like a flawless diamond set in a sea of emeralds. the real estate equivalent of a unicorn. -i acquired it some years ago from a family who had held it in trust for over a century-and-a-half. beautiful. yes. you understand, kate, that i... have no choice? -isn't that the speech, raymond? that i know too much? every single one of your weaknesses, all your faults, all your secrets. i dedicated my life to you. you entrusted me with everything you value. -your freedom, your life, a child. i have never failed you. what you see as a betrayal of trust was actually a fulfillment of your wishes. to protect your interests. no more, no less. -you presumed to decide what was best for me. even if i resolve the anger, the pain you caused, i can't trust you. ever. i'm standing before a stranger. -and yet, i know you believe what you did was best for elizabeth. which is why i brought you here. you've told me you've always wanted a pristine, unspoiled place to live out your days in peace. so, the acre is yours. for all eternity. -(cocks gun) (gunshot) you have to guess. do it again. feels like you're writing "z-z-z-z-z". -i wrote your name. 'cause you're my best friend. what are you doing? i... i thought that... -there you go. what the hell is she doing in there? same thing she does every day. lisa! hurry up, we're gonna be late! -just a minute. i'll drive her. you go ahead. you sure? yeah. -thank you. hon, bill's gonna take you, all right? wait! i can't wait! bye! -i'll see you, hon. come on, honey, i'll take you. looks like we're rolling. you know, i can walk. don't be crazy. -come on. i'll drive you. i thought you quit? you know, we could have that thing surgically connected to the side of your head. will be a lot easier without evoking carpel tunnel syndrome. -you can get some screws and we'll just put 'em in your skull. i have a drill in the back. i'm just joking. i sure liked things a lot better when we were friends. the good old days. -there's your, uh, your little gal pal. she's still being an ass? yeah, she's... god! whatever. -you know... you can talk to me about anything. you got something on your mind you wanna talk about, you can share it with me, you know. it's not a big deal. anyway, um... -call me if you need a ride home. all right? okay. here she comes. hey, loser. -ew! so you've read the first two pages. can anybody tell me the name of the black death? anybody at all? yep, just... -just raise that hand. let me know. anybody know it? it's in the book. you just read it. -scientific term, black death. lisa, do you know the answer? i'm sorry, what? "i'm sorry, what?" "i'm sorry, what?" is not the answer i was looking for. -you know, lisa, there was a time when at least it seemed like you cared about having a future. now it just seems like you're a space cadet. get with it, will you? idiot. lexi. -just because lisa doesn't care abut learning, doesn't mean she's an idiot. that's called being stupid. today it's best known as the black death, or the plague. medieval people called it the sickness. the name "bubonic" comes from medieval latin word... -bubo via italian bilbo... meaning a pustule, growth, or swelling. come on, guys. did anyone do heir homework? anybody? you made the right choice. -excuse me? what's going on? help! where am i? help! -help! what's going on? please! no! no! -help! no! please! please don't hurt me! this is what happens when you are not nice. -hi. how are you?

-"loser lisa" right? that's what you guys all call me. i tell them... you and your friends? i tell them they're mean. -yeah, right. i do. everyday, i go, "you're mean." she's not a loser, she's just lisa, lisa normal. all right. -well, i gotta take a piss. tim. uh, no. you needed to know that. that was a great piss. -you know? came out real smooth. did you just come here to annoy me or what? i'm just teasing. chill. -what are you doing over there? i'm just tying my shoes. or do you have a problem with that, too? could you please just leave? all right. -see you later, homie. i'm leaving. love you. oh, my god. did you do it? -gotcha. ew! what does she see in him? i can't wait to see this video. my mom's calling me. -i'll see you inside. hey, mom. oh, my god, this is gonna be epic. you know, um... this isn't a costume party. -like, duh?

this is gold. yeah, if we posted this, she might, like, kill herself for real. so? -she should kill herself. yeah. i don't know. what is there to think about? she humiliated you. -am i right or am i right? i know i'm right. so can you like edit this all together? like a highlight reel? we can start with her binging, then cut to her puking, and then we can cut to her shoving the dildo in. -add some funny music, too. this is the meanest joke. why're we doing this? don't pussy out on me now. i just, i don't wanna get in trouble. -this was your idea. yeah, but... she humiliated rhonda. she told everyone that rhonda was a dyke. and now she needs to pay. -oh, my god. i cannot wait for the whole school to see this. uh-oh. what's up? what's up? -i didn't think she'd show. girl, i know you put down a bag of chips... down. give it to me, baby. give it to me. come on. -give it to me, baby. oh, my god. no, no, no, no. my room's open if you need somewhere to hide from all this. we can talk. -did you see her face?

i swear to god, you kids... you take cruelty to a whole another level. when i was your age, they didn't have the internet. didn't have cell phones, you couldn't send things to each other. -who would do that to you? you can call the police on these people. gross. can i help you? i know you're in there. -can you open the door, please? lisa, i know what happened. i... i don't even know what to say. look, i need to talk to you. -would you please unlock this door? just go away. mom! do you have any idea how many phone calls i just got? how long has this been going on? -please don't! please what? i saw the video, lisa. so you're gay now? what is this, just another one of your phases? -it's just a phase. everything is just a phase, mom. what on earth did i ever do to make you act like this? and for god's sake, why would you film it and put it online for the entire world to see? you think i did this? -you didn't? no. then who did? tell me, lisa. andrew. -andrew? andrew, next door andrew? i thought he was your friend. oh, my god. i'm gonna kill him! -mom, wait, please. good thing about a broken lock... you can't lock me out. could you just please go away? you know something? -you get away with a lot of stuff 'cause you're young. making up your mind about what you wanna do. that's okay. but you gotta get a handle on this bulimia business. people die from that. -nice talk. you know, sooner or later you gotta trust somebody. might as well start with me. i'm the step-father and all that, i get it. you don't trust anybody. -everybody's always trying to bring you down. sooner or later, everyone's gonna get their comeuppance. trust me. i spoke to the dean of the school and i got them all suspended. good. -andrew's mother apologized, said she felt terrible about what happened. said she's gonna ground him for a month, take away his car and his video games. would you excuse us for a minute? okay. lisa, i'm gonna get you the help that you need, okay? -i wish dad was here. well, he's not. so, um... tomorrow morning we're gonna get you checked into a treatment facility, because i am not gonna stand by and watch while you hurt yourself. do you understand me? -what those girls did was wrong. and i can't even fathom the angst you're experiencing. if you need someone, i'm here for you. your new friend, destiny. -hello, lisa. hi. it's okay. i'm right here with you. it's so good to see you smile. -god, i hate them so much. now what if i told you that that they'll be paying for what they did, and that we're going to kill them all? you're crazy. i have an idea. why don't you come on over? -right now? yes, silly. i wanna see you in person. looking at you is turning me on too much. shut up. -really. you have no clue how beautiful you are. you're not so bad yourself. so, what do you say? i say it's 1:00 in the morning. -so what? i'll send you a car. nothing bad is going to happen to you. i promise. wait... how did you... -just get in. hello, lisa. welcome to the dark side. there you go. here. -have some wine. you're trying to get me wasted? no. why would i wanna do such a thing like that? to your new friends. -who are you? shh. i should probably head home. if my mom realizes i'm gone, she'll flip out. don't worry about her. -actually from now on, you won't have to worry about anything or anyone. wait. um... there's something i have to talk to you about. what? -this is going to sound really weird, but, like, just hear me out. i'm not who you think i am. well, who are you then? i have many names, but... the one you're probably most familiar with is "satan". -"satan"? uh-huh. as in like "the devil"? what are you like, in one of those weird cult groups or something? listen. -those people, they deserve to die. that's why i brought you here. i want us to kill them. you have to understand that i've been waiting for you a long time. -from where? hell? it has many names, but yes, you could say that. all right. now you're really starting to freak me out. -i sought you out to help you. because there is something very important that i need from you. what? let's just say it will enhance you. "enhance"? -uh-huh. okay. i, uh... i, um... think i'm gonna get going. -let me prove it to you. holy shit! do you believe me now? relax, relax. it's me. -oh, my god! oh, my god! shh. god is a very nice guy, but he has nothing to do with this. how did you do that? -no, lisa... i know i'm a total bitch, but i love you. holy shit. you're... you really are the devil. -you just became best friends with the most badass bitch in the universe. so, uh... how does that feel? it feels fucking insane. i can make all of your dreams come true. -i know what you fantasize about. i can make you a star. but first, you have to help me so i can help you. what do you say? are you asking me to sell my soul? -oh, no. i hate that phrase. what would you call it? a trade. why me? -because you're special. just think about what they did to you. i keep thinking about how guilty i'd feel for the rest of my life. that feeling, that's how i know you're the one. i don't know. -this is... it's just really weird. let's get even weirder. you'll be the most famous person in the world. what do you have to lose? -my conscience. that's overrated. check this out. she looks great. oh, my god. -she's so good. oh, my god, it's lisa. hey, lisa. looking good. congrats, lisa. -congratulations. i'm so proud of you. that felt so real. it was real. the world is yours, lisa. -for your taking. do we have a deal? sure. what the hell. now you can't go back on it, lisa. -or else... very bad things will happen. so what now? now, the fun starts. where are we going? -you'll see. this is kate's house. don't be shy. what about her parents? stop worrying. -hello, kate? what if she wakes up? let's see. wake up! see? -hmm. you shouldn't have been such a bitch, kate. now you're goin to learn the real meaning of shame. come on, shemale. it's not the pain that others can inflict. -it's what the mind can do to itself that can hurt the most. nobody ever said that a little help getting their own didn't hurt. look. it's like true love. here. -ready to call action? come on. this would destroy her. mm-hmm. utterly and completely. -think about what she did to you. it would be pretty funny. but wait, if i post this, everyone will know it's me. i will post it. listen, the only thing you have to do is push that little red button. -okay? that's it. don't be afraid. to revenge. oh, i'm so proud of you. -now what happens? now i take you home. wait, that's it? yeah, for now. we'll take care of the rest of them later. -what do you mean "take care of"? i said don't worry about it. i know you'll have a lot of questions pop into your mind. i want you to trust me. just know that what we're doing is right. -get some sleep. and i'll see you sooner than you think. cheers. cheers. so hot. -did you hear that? your folks back? no, they can't be. okay. who calls this late? -is it your ex again? hello? fuck! oh, god, oh, god, oh, god. oh... oh, god. -fuck! oh, shit! they're gonna blame this on me. oh, fuck. oh, fuck. -oh, shit! oh, fuck! fuck, fuck. oh, shit! what did i do? -jesus, kelly, you're such a jerk. i really hate you. for christ's sake, take off that stupid mask. you look retarded. lisa? -how are you feeling? i'm fine. are you sure? yeah. why wouldn't i be? -just checking. uh, they're gonna be picking you up soon from the treatment facility. they say it's easier this way. it helps with... the adjusting period. -okay. i'm just gonna go and pack some clothes, then. i think this is for the best. sure. whatever. -are you sure you're okay? you seem different. i'm fine. relax. so we're not allowed to visit her for 72 hours? -that's correct. no family or friends allowed. why are you guys looking at me like i'm crazy? making sure you're gonna be all right. all right. -honey, you haven't even had any breakfast this morning. i'll eat if you want me to, mom. i won't puke it up if that's what you're worried about. i was just concerned that you would be hungry, that's all. all right. -you must be lisa. yeah. are you ready to come with us today? i'm ready. good. -bye, mom. okay. we will, um... we'll come and see you soon, okay? okay. -okay. bye, bill. bye. what did i tell you? this calls for a celebration. -how about instead of going to a rehab, we party like rockstars? whoo! i'm okay with that. ah! whoo! -oh, my god. you're so bad. she totally believed us. whoo! i got you a surprise. -being bad has its perks. you know what i think might help you? get something out of your system? hi, lisa. don't you want me? -i've always wanted you. i don't know. will you shut up and just feel good. there she is. oh, you want shemale? -oh, she likes shemale! oh, my god! that was an experience i don't think i'll ever forget any time soon. oh, baby, we're just getting started. did you see your handiwork? -i mean, i wonder what's running through her brain. let's take a look, shall we? holy shit. what is she doing now? she's saying goodbye. -no, no. i can't watch this. you must watch it! don't you get it? this is all for you. -all of this. farewell, my dear. it's okay. she's in a better place now. oh. -you need to watch. these are the videos that i made. they're all for you. it's great. i love snapchat. -one view and poof, it's all gone. are those real? of course they're real. i think i'm gonna to throw up in the sink. oh, no, no, no, lisa. -we made a deal. no, she's dead. they're dead. that's real. i killed them! -you killed them! they deserved to die. besides, kate, she did that to herself. right? i need you to know that there are additional consequences. -you need to watch this. no, no, no. no, no, no, no, no. yes. sometimes bad things happen to good people. -two wrongs don't make a right. but three do. i feel sick. oh, chill out. he died painlessly. -pain is like a concept that's been lost in this generation. now, in the medieval times, they knew about pain. what was that? let's take a look, shall we? now back in the dark ages, they knew about pain. -do you want to give it a go? this is sadistic. yes, it is. come on. so, um, how is it going down there? -you know lisa, right? help, please. look at her! help me! are you sure you don't wanna give it a go? -they say jesus died for our sins. no! well, so did you, my dear. i didn't ask for this. i don't want any of this. -oh, yes. yes, you do. remember? no, no. this is... this is cruel! -yes, it is. okay. relax. let's go get some air outside, okay? it's okay. -it's okay. it's gonna be good. come on. let's go. come on. -you know, lisa, you can't think about life and death in such a black and white way. death can be a beautiful thing and life can be much worse. i feel responsible. i killed them. the only thing you did was merely push a button on your phone. -i would hardly call that killing someone. right. i just love looking at cars go by. come on. have a seat. -you see that girl... walking in the distance? is that rhonda? it sure is. she's being distracted by her phone. -she's not paying any attention. and bad things can happen when you don't pay any attention. what kind of bad things? she's gonna walk right into a street and get hit by a truck. that one's easy. -you don't have to do anything. rhonda, she... we've been friends since we're like six. oh, friends? oh, no, no, no, no, no. -she hasn't been your friend in a really long time. in fact, quite the opposite. she's calling me. oof! don't pick up. -fuck that bitch. what's going on? just don't pick up. she's gonna try and talk her way out of this. she loves me, doesn't she? -no, no. there has to be another way. i'm afraid not. if you warn her, the deal is off. and as i told you, there will be repercussions. -she doesn't deserve to die. yes, she does. think about the people she's going to embarrass. she can't even be honest with you. she can't be honest with anyone. -don't ruin my video, okay? that would not be cool. oh, no, no, no, no. i'm going to hell for this, aren't i? hell ain't so bad. -i'm so proud of you. just one more to go. i can't do this anymore. where are you going? i should have saved her. -why? because it was the right thing to do. wait, where are you going? just leave me alone. lisa thomson? -yeah. oh, my god. i can't believe it's really you. i'm sorry, do i know you? my friends are never gonna believe this. -can we take a selfie? wait, what? i'm such a big fan. honestly. you really changed my life. -okay. i just wanted to say thank you. sure. okay. lisa! -oh, my gosh! you were so good! we are so proud of you. yes, you were, everything you said. really nice. -pretty impressed. what did i say? what? what do you mean? what did i say? -uh, you know, um, the tv interview that you just did where they said that you were the biggest reality star in television. i guess we're just the little people now. excuse me. honey! honey, what's wrong? -please stop. oh, my god. holy shit. lisa? these letters keep on coming. -look at this. look at this. this little girl from arkansas drew this. look. it looks just like you. -oh, honey, i know it's a lot to deal with, but it's a good thing. hey, we're still on to go house hunting next week, right? i can't wait to get out of this town... seriously. okay, kid. -i'm sorry. don't even think about that right now. honey, you just relax. i know you've had a really hard day what is it? what's wrong? -i can't explain... oh, wait. before i forget. kzla has called, like, 10 times this morning. they wanna know if they can schedule an interview with you for friday afternoon. -and get this. they wanna interview me, too. who would've thought me on television? mon, mom, mom! can you please just listen to me? -mom, what if i told you that none of this is real? this whole me being famous thing, it's all a fraud, it's all fake. what are you talking about, lisa? what if i told you that the devil made all of this happen. the devil? -we're being fooled. this is all not... this isn't real, mom. fooled? how am i being fooled, lisa? mom, i'm not famous. -i haven't done anything. for god's sake, i just left the house yesterday. yesterday? don't you remember, mom? you sent me to rehab. -that was six months ago. honey, it's may. are you feeling okay? sweetheart, i'm gonna get you some water, okay? i think you should sit down and relax. -and i'm gonna call kzla and tell them that we'll get back to them as soon as you're feeling better, okay?

you can call the police on these people. gross. can i help you? i know you're in there. -can you open the door, please? lisa, i know what happened. i... i don't even know what to say. look, i need to talk to you. -would you please unlock this door?

no. why would i wanna do such a thing like that? to your new friends. -who are you? shh. i should probably head home. if my mom realizes i'm gone, she'll flip out. don't worry about her. -actually from now on, you won't have to worry about anything or anyone. wait. um... there's something i have to talk to you about. what? -this is going to sound really weird, but, like, just hear me out. i'm not who you think i am. well, who are you then? i have many names, but... the one you're probably most familiar with is "satan". -"satan"? uh-huh. as in like "the devil"? what are you like, in one of those weird cult groups or something? listen. -those people, they deserve to die. that's why i brought you here. i want us to kill them. you have to understand that i've been waiting for you a long time. -from where? hell? it has many names, but yes, you could say that. all right. now you're really starting to freak me out. -i sought you out to help you. because there is something very important that i need from you. what? let's just say it will enhance you. "enhance"? -uh-huh. okay. i, uh... i, um... think i'm gonna get going. -let me prove it to you. holy shit! do you believe me now? relax, relax. it's me. -oh, my god! oh, my god! shh. god is a very nice guy, but he has nothing to do with this. how did you do that? -no, lisa... i know i'm a total bitch, but i love you. holy shit. you're... you really are the devil. -you just became best friends with the most badass bitch in the universe. so, uh... how does that feel? it feels fucking insane. i can make all of your dreams come true. -i know what you fantasize about. i can make you a star. but first, you have to help me so i can help you. what do you say? are you asking me to sell my soul? -oh, no. i hate that phrase. what would you call it? a trade. why me? -because you're special. just think about what they did to you. i keep thinking about how guilty i'd feel for the rest of my life. that feeling, that's how i know you're the one. i don't know. -this is... it's just really weird. let's get even weirder. you'll be the most famous person in the world. what do you have to lose? -my conscience. that's overrated. check this out. she looks great. oh, my god. -she's so good. oh, my god, it's lisa. hey, lisa. looking good. congrats, lisa. -congratulations. i'm so proud of you. that felt so real. it was real. the world is yours, lisa. -for your taking. do we have a deal? sure. what the hell. now you can't go back on it, lisa. -or else... very bad things will happen. so what now? now, the fun starts. where are we going? -you'll see. this is kate's house. don't be shy. what about her parents? stop worrying. -hello, kate? what if she wakes up? let's see. wake up! see? -hmm. you shouldn't have been such a bitch, kate. now you're goin to learn the real meaning of shame. come on, shemale. it's not the pain that others can inflict. -it's what the mind can do to itself that can hurt the most. nobody ever said that a little help getting their own didn't hurt. look. it's like true love. here. -ready to call action? come on. this would destroy her. mm-hmm. utterly and completely. -think about what she did to you. it would be pretty funny. but wait, if i post this, everyone will know it's me. i will post it. listen, the only thing you have to do is push that little red button. -okay? that's it. don't be afraid. to revenge. oh, i'm so proud of you. -now what happens? now i take you home. wait, that's it? yeah, for now. we'll take care of the rest of them later. -what do you mean "take care of"? i said don't worry about it. i know you'll have a lot of questions pop into your mind. i want you to trust me. just know that what we're doing is right. -get some sleep. and i'll see you sooner than you think. cheers. cheers. so hot. -did you hear that? your folks back? no, they can't be. okay. who calls this late? -is it your ex again? hello? fuck! oh, god, oh, god, oh, god. oh... oh, god. -fuck! oh, shit! they're gonna blame this on me. oh, fuck. oh, fuck. -oh, shit! oh, fuck! fuck, fuck. oh, shit! what did i do? -jesus, kelly, you're such a jerk. i really hate you. for christ's sake, take off that stupid mask. you look retarded. lisa? -how are you feeling? i'm fine. are you sure? yeah. why wouldn't i be? -just checking. uh, they're gonna be picking you up soon from the treatment facility. they say it's easier this way. it helps with... the adjusting period. -okay. i'm just gonna go and pack some clothes, then. i think this is for the best. sure. whatever. -are you sure you're okay? you seem different. i'm fine. relax. so we're not allowed to visit her for 72 hours? -that's correct. no family or friends allowed. why are you guys looking at me like i'm crazy? making sure you're gonna be all right. all right. -honey, you haven't even had any breakfast this morning. i'll eat if you want me to, mom. i won't puke it up if that's what you're worried about. i was just concerned that you would be hungry, that's all. all right. -you must be lisa. yeah. are you ready to come with us today? i'm ready. good. -bye, mom. okay. we will, um... we'll come and see you soon, okay? okay. -okay. bye, bill. bye. what did i tell you? this calls for a celebration. -how about instead of going to a rehab, we party like rockstars? whoo! i'm okay with that. ah! whoo! -oh, my god. you're so bad. she totally believed us. whoo! i got you a surprise. -being bad has its perks. you know what i think might help you? get something out of your system? hi, lisa. don't you want me? -i've always wanted you. i don't know. will you shut up and just feel good. there she is. oh,you want shemale? -oh, she likes shemale! oh, my god! that was an experience i don't think i'll ever forget any time soon. oh, baby, we're just getting started. did you see your handiwork? -i mean, i wonder what's running through her brain. let's take a look, shall we? holyshit. what is she doing now? she's saying goodbye. -no, no. i can't watch this. you must watch it! don't you get it? this is all for you. -all of this. farewell, my dear. it's okay. she's in a better place now. oh. -you need to watch. these are the videos that i made. they're all for you. it's great. i love snapchat. -one view and poof, it'sallgone. arethosereal? of course they're real. i think i'm gonna to throw up in the sink. oh, no, no, no, lisa. -we made a deal. no, she's dead. they're dead. that's real. i killed them! -you killed them! they deserved to die. besides, kate, she did that to herself. right? i need you to know that there are additional consequences. -you need to watch this. no, no, no. no, no, no, no, no. yes. sometimes bad things happen to good people. -two wrongs don't make a right. but three do. i feel sick. oh, chill out. he died painlessly. -pain is like a concept that's been lost in this generation. now, in the medieval times, they knew about pain. what was that? let's take a look, shall we? now back in the dark ages, they knew about pain. -do you want to give it a go? this is sadistic. yes, it is. come on. so, um, how is it going down there? -you know lisa, right? help, please. look at her! help me! are you sure you don't wanna give it a go? -they say jesus died for our sins. no! well, so did you, my dear. i didn't ask for this. i don't want any of this. -oh, yes. yes, you do. remember? no, no. this is-- this is cruel! -yes, it is. okay. relax. let's go get some air outside, okay? it's okay. -it's okay. it's gonna be good. come on. let's go. come on. -you know, lisa, you can't think about life and death in such a black and white way. death can be a beautiful thing and life can be much worse. i feel responsible. i killed them. the only thing you did was merely push a button on your phone. -i would hardly call that killing someone. right. i just love looking at cars go by. come on. have a seat. -you see that girl... walking in the distance? is that rhonda? it sure is. she's being distracted by her phone. -she's not paying any attention. and bad things can happen when you don't pay any attention. what kind of bad things? she's gonna walk right into a street and get hit by a truck. that one's easy. -you don't have to do anything. rhonda, she... we've been friends since we're like six. oh, friends? oh, no, no, no, no, no. -she hasn't been your friend in a really long time. in fact, quite the opposite. she's calling me. oof! don't pick up. -fuck that bitch. what's going on? just don't pick up. she's gonna try and talk her way out of this. she loves me, doesn't she? -no, no. there has to be another way. i'm afraid not. if you warn her, the deal is off. and as i told you, there will be repercussions. -she doesn't deserve to die. yes, she does. think about the people she's going to embarrass. she can't even be honest with you. she can't be honest with anyone. -don't ruin my video, okay? that would not be cool. oh, no, no, no, no. i'm going to hell for this, aren't i? hell ain't so bad. -i'm so proud of you. just one more to go. i can't do this anymore. where are you going? i should have saved her. -why? because it was the right thing to do. wait, where are you going? just leave me alone. lisa thomson? -yeah. oh, my god. i can't believe it's really you. i'm sorry, do i know you? my friends are never gonna believe this. -can we take a selfie? wait, what? i'm such a big fan. honestly. you really changed my life. -okay. i just wanted to say thank you. sure. okay. lisa! -oh, my gosh! you were so good! we are so proud of you. yes, you were, everything you said. really nice. -pretty impressed. what did i say? what? what do you mean? what did i say? -uh, you know, um, the tv interview that you just did where they said that you were the biggest reality star in television. i guess we're just the little people now. excuse me. honey! honey, what's wrong? -please stop. oh, my god. holy shit. lisa? these letters keep on coming. -look at this. look at this. this little girl from arkansas drew this. look. it looks just like you. -oh, honey, i know it's a lot to deal with, but it's a good thing. hey, we're still on to go house hunting next week, right? i can't wait to get out of this town... seriously. okay, kid. -i'm sorry. don't even think about that right now. honey, you just relax. i know you've had a really hard day what is it? what's wrong? -i can't explain-- -oh, wait. before i forget. kzla has called, like, 10 times this morning. they wanna know if they can schedule an interview with you for friday afternoon. and get this. -they wanna interview me, too. who would've thought me on television? mon, mom, mom! can you please just listen to me? mom, what if i told you that none of this is real? -this whole me being famous thing, it's all a fraud, it's all fake. what are you talking about, lisa? what if i told you that the devil made all of this happen. the devil? we're being fooled. -this is all not-- this isn't real, mom. fooled? how am i being fooled, lisa? mom, i'm not famous. i haven't done anything. -for god's sake, i just left the house yesterday. yesterday? don't you remember, mom? you sent me to rehab. that was six months ago. -honey, it's may. are you feeling okay? sweetheart, i'm gonna get you some water, okay? i think you should sit down and relax. and i'm gonna call kzla and tell them that we'll get back to them as soon as you're feeling better, okay? -cookies and cream milkshake from trails. just go away! that's so rude. after all i did for you. i made a mistake. -you were a mess and now you have everything. how is that a mistake? just one more. okay? just... just one. -how does he die? he doesn't have to. i'm going to give you a child. what? like we agreed upon. -this will not only enhance you, but the world as well. no. you can keep your eyes closed if you want. we had a deal. you don't wanna go back on that. -just let it happen. stop it! who knows, you might even enjoy it. besides, when did a little sex hurt anybody? it's actually quite good for you. -if the child is born, what will it do to the world? lisa, why would you ask such a thing? tell me. fine. we can do things the hard way if you want. -i'm gonna need you to come with us. no! whoo hoo! hi, aunt carol. i missed you. -i missed you so much. let's play a game. i think that will make things much easier for your small little brain. you are going to shoot her in the next 10 seconds. and if you don't, my friends here are gonna bash your head in. -all right? so why don't you just allow me to do what i need to do and nobody needs to get hurt? no! i will not do it. i'm not gonna do it! -ten seconds! nine seconds left. you used me! i'm the devil. what did you think i was gonna do? -lisa, what did you think was gonna happen? eight seconds. don't act like this is a bad thing. you're gonna be rich and famous. and in two weeks, you're gonna be on an island somewhere not even thinking about any of this, all right? -all right? seven seconds. whoo! bye, bill. look what you did. -look at that. all right. you know what? let's make this even easier for you. let's not think about killing her. -let's think about putting her out of her misery. no, please! stop! stop what? stop what? -stop it! stop! please, just stop! it won't be long before she bleeds out. you know what? -maybe this will inspire you more. mom! stop it. what's that, kiddo? i can't hear you. -what's that? what? i'll do it. don't do this... you wanna hear a secret? -she doesn't care about you. in fact, she regrets having you. sad but true. very true. you must enjoy watching her suffer. -you must enjoy... three, two, one... okay, okay, okay. i'll do what you want me to. please just don't hurt anyone else. -you know, lisa, this can be pleasurable. lisa! lisa! come on, back up. lisa, how does it feel being a mother? -is it a boy or a girl? lisa, what's the baby's name? it's all right. (birds chirping) (dance music playing) -(dogs barking) (grunts) (alarm ringing) (groans) damn. -so we realize nyla left her history book in kevin's car, then we had to drive all the way over to the west side, but he already left monica's house by the time we got there. long story short, it was quicker for her to drop me off at the house, so she did. and that, o mother, is the epically long, yet tediously dull account of why my car isn't in the driveway. ugh, well, just make sure and pick it up after school. because i have back to back meetings. -i can't drive you. (school bell ringing) a few questions, and feel free to answer them in any order: how are you? and where's my car? -pretty good, and i have no idea. oh. you lost your car? i didn't lose it. it's just currently occupying a space -i'm presently unaware of. well, let's see: you left the party, you said you had to run a quick errand, and that you'd be right back. and you never came right back. i know. -maybe your car went to go find that hoodie you borrowed from me last month that also went missing. wow, mystery solved. maddie, do you know what this is? um, it's a bottle of water. do the questions get harder... -this... isn't water. no, it's not. it's vodka. we found this in maddie's locker this morning. and can you do that, just search my locker? -indeed, we can. one of my friends must have put it in there as a joke. alcohol on school premises is a very serious offense, maddie. it's cause for expulsion. well, like i said, it's not mine. -good. then this will just help clear it up. i just need you to blow on that tip. i don't have to do this. i know my rights. -"students who are suspected of consuming illegal substances on school grounds will immediately be tested by appointed school officials and will face possible expulsion. any student refusing to submit to testing, will also face possible expulsion." hm. (clears throat) (machine calibrates) -go ahead. (beeping) thank you. maddie, how could you? mom. -this is so unfair. you better take this seriously. unfortunately, i'm going to have to report this to the head master, and it's his decision whether or not maddie can remain a student here. you've got to be kidding me. is there any other option? -24 hours of detox and 90 days at a sober-living facility, effective immediately. the closest teen treatment center is 40 miles away, but... with parental consent, i can arrange for you to live in an adult facility that's closer. you can go to school by day and spend your evenings getting sober, but, maddie, i will be watching you... i'm not going to rehab. it's not rehab. -it's a residential, outpatient treatment facility. and you're out of your damn mind. (scoffs) i'm sorry to hear that. she'll do it. what? -these are prohibited in detox. you can have it back after 24 hours. now, please head down to room 248 for the strip search.

"the madness maker didn't play for the joy of winning, "just the fear of losing. "the real curse was, he only played when he could win, -"which cut him off from the surprise, horror, sadness, and wonder of life." "jane saw only one way out for him: "stop playing. start living." hey. -somebody woke up. took your damn time. somebody get him some brandy. flying in. wait. -where's the hedge bitch? chop-chop. they're going back up. you should've told me your friend wasn't properly erased. i know. -and you and eliot never should've taken on the hedge witches alone. i know. quentin, do you really think that the magic that we teach means that you just get to fly above right and wrong? magic does not solve problems. it magnifies them. -i know that too. believe me. i don't need to be taught what magic is or isn't. i need to be taught magic so that i can decide what it is or isn't... for me. that was almost well put. -good night, quentin. oh, and quentin... i'm glad that you're still here with us. me too, actually. wow. -wow. i kind of can't believe i ever thought i knew... anything. i'd like to share now some of it with some of you. ow! wait. -no. no. i didn't get you out of there because you pulled one over on me. you and kady bitched out, but you'd talk. she can't. -oh, poor you and your taste of honey worse than none at all. you think brakebills cut you off from magic? you don't know cut off. youwill. julia: -previously on the magicians... quentin: before i got here, i was in the hospital. quentin, i'd really recommend further treatment. look, i've never threatened to hurt myself or anybody else. -so you can't make me stay. brakebills is the first place that feels right to me that is not literally a fairy tale. quentin! i made the mistake of thinking you were just psychic. do you know how to close your mind? -'cause i will show you right now. you are a traveler. sunderland: you can actually move between worlds. where you going, kitty cat? -i'm done here. for good. you should be happy. less competition. penny: -hedge witches, amateurs, sad and desperate people. that means level 50. so you were... top bitch in new york, for starters. get me everything on this list, this week. -quentin: i don't know what you're doing here, jules. julia: magic wasn't just handed to me. people at brakebills, jules, they can read minds. -they can fly. you can do a party trick. you were my best friend. it's amazing i survived as long as i did not knowing that i was a magician. i can't go back. -(sniffs) (groans) (exhales) oh... (gasps) -dude, you're in the wrong... or i'm in the wrong... uh... (indistinct chatter) hey! -big stuff. (chuckles) hey. you got them? i'm dying. where are they? where are they? -jesus! where are they? cut it out! you give me happy pills, me love you long time. eliot, they're looking for you in arts and crafts. -watercolors. without me, they're adrift. (slaps) quentin, could i speak to you? (mutters indistinctly) -quentin? okay, this is obviously a dream where i realize i'm in a dream. so you think your life is a dream? no, my life is my life, but this is like a... this is a bad collage. -you, the hospital, the dean's office, the brakebills, it's all jumbled together. so we're back to brakebills. hopefully, soon. where you think you're a student studying to be a magician. okay, let's just skip the part where you don't believe me, okay? -um... yeah, it's a little chilly in here. how about a miniature sun? that'd be great. (sighs) -(tapping) i hate these dreams. it's like your feet are stuck to the floor, or you're paralyzed. wait, wait, wait. you released me. -remember, in the real hospital? i remember what i said. what was it? uh... "you can't keep me here. -i haven't hurt myself or anybody else." you know that isn't true. well, none of this is true, but i said that to you in real life before brakebills. (beep) send him in. -quentin, do you remember why the court ordered you to be here? the court? i don't... if this is a trial dream, lam... god, these things take forever. -come in, penny. show me again what you found in quentin's trash. i don't want to get nobody in trouble. no, it's okay, penny. no one's in trouble. -thank you, penny. (door opens) (door closes) quentin, this is what happens when you don't take what we prescribe. you start to hallucinate again that you're a magician, you have powers. -it's all here. uh... the house of cards, alice, eliot, margo, the physical kids, the beast. i know this can all seem very real, but it's not. brakebills is the hallucination. -this is the reality. you're seeing this, right? you're very, very sick. (rattling) are you not seeing this? -(rattling continues) oh, jesus! (gasping) i see you, quentin, and i'm very, very worried. oh, okay, they're gone. -the moths, they're... (sighs) they're gone. there are no moths, quentin. there never were. (buzzing) -ah! (choking) (body thuds) (yelling) oh, i can't breathe! (quentin gasping) -code red! code red! main office! don't let them see. i heard they shot you up. -(stammers) i'm kind of foggy. no, no, no. just focus on me. okay? none of this is real. -just us two. and this. where are we? i mean, what's going on? you don't remember? -i was at school, i think, and... and then i fell asleep at a party, and then i'm here. where none of that ever happened, and... no,no,no, no,no,no. oh, man! -you came to find me. i did? to save me. but first, we have to break the illusion. "the illusion"? -i crash-landed on this planet 9.3 light years ago. dean: alice? wait. you're a starship captain, and you came to rescue me. (chuckles) -i, uh... no. hang on. but none of this is real. it's... -we're trapped in a cage, a menagerie. dean: alice? (growls) and they show us these illusions to make us fall in love and mate. -(snaps) alice, that's enough. give them back. what, dr. fogg? all of them, alice. -we need them for bridge. (grunts) they collect us from all over the galaxy to feed off our emotions. no, that's not true. it's an episode of lost in space- -star trek. what? that's an episode of star trek. it's an episode of star trek. they finally got to you. -you belong to them now. (giggling) it's okay. i'll still mate with you. (laughing) -all right, that's enough. me, three! that's enough. me, three. (sighs, clears throat) -quentin, how are you? are you feeling any better? i guess. good. are you up for seeing a visitor? -hey, q. i mean, yale's still kind of a letdown. still, in the best way. i mean, you would've... well, you... -i mean, you will totally agree, you know, once, you know, it's you. when what? when i'm out? it's just so much easier than i... than we expected, is all. -so you've been at yale these last few months... and i've been here? you don't remember? this? no. -okay. james is sorry he couldn't make it tonight, but he'll be by next week. you know, he had to lock down a church. church? mmm-hmm. -for the wedding. are you engaged? (chuckles) it's okay. no, it's not okay. -seriously, it doesn't even matter. it's not important. it's a spell. "a spell"? we're all trapped in it, and i'm the only one who knows. -okay, look. i know that i just... i sounded like alice just then, but i... hey, (sniffs) um, i swear, i'm not crazy. -i want to understand, okay? i want to help, q. just tell me. no,no,no. (grunts) no. -okay, i can do this. (exhales) (breathes deeply) (gasps) oh, god, look! (gasping) -jules. (gasping) jules, look. look. are you seeing this? look! -you guys, are you not seeing this? (stammers) (people murmuring indistinctly) (quentin grunts) don't. -what? look at me like that. don't feel sorry for me. do not. i'm not me, and you're not you, and this is not happening. -do you hear me? this is not happening. i'm not... i'm not here. lam the one that got into brakebills. i'm in brakebills! -penny: hey, you! keep your voice down. i'm sorry. it's my fault. -um... sorry. i'm gonna go, okay? i'll be back friday. this can't be my life. -jules, it can't. (inhales sharply) i wanted to see the fireworks. i really did. wait. -how did you know they were fireworks? what? if you couldn't see them, how did you know they were fireworks? you told me. i never said the word -"fireworks," julia. what's going on here? (laughs) okay, did nobody see that? see what? -you laughing at me. laughing at you? what kind of a friend would do that? exactly. goodbye, quentin. -what...

(groans) -(sighs) (echoing) jane! (paper tearing) no,no,no! stop! -stop it! stop! no! the answer's in these books. jane said that... -(laughing) these books are my key to getting out of here. jesus. every time i talk, i sound batshit. (sighs) (laughing) -could i get some tape any place? tape isn't permitted. tape isn't permitted. right, i know. but why, again? -'cause you can harm yourself or others. it's tape. that can strangle, suffocate... okay, what if you watched me the whole time? no one has that kind of time. -i need to put these pages back together. you need to get to music therapy. (exhales sharply) music is a way for us to express and receive feeling in a way that is safe and fun and sometimes illuminating. so, who'd like to begin? -penny: oh, god, please not that one song. ah, i'm sorry. what was that, penny? oh, that one song? -please, no. it gets in my head, and it never leaves. oh, which song is that? michael row the boat ashore.

(people cheering) -man: (on pa) ptsd specialist to ward room two. i hear you were the hit of music therapy today, quentin. look, i think i know what's going on here, and i think i know how to get help. well, help is why we're here. no, it's not. -i don't mean to be rude, but you're here because of a spell, and i need to break the spell. quentin. and if i can just reach penny, the real penny, and if i can get inside of his head... enough. that's enough. -can i please have some tape? do you remember the last time you saw your father?

(whimpers) (breathing shakily) you need to stop fighting this, quentin. -the more you believe in magic, brakebills, the beast, the more harm you do. accept who you are and what's put you here. that's how you get better, quentin. i promise. -hey, q, seriously, talk to me. are you fucking with me?

(sighs) on, my god. -hey, you are not going limp on me here. this is game time, ladies. you got the ball, kady. don't drop it. now go put all that sweet hotness to work. -(slaps) sorry. ellsworth. ellsworth downs. ellsworth... -downs. ellis... wirth-downs, ellis wirth-downs. the madness maker. on, god. -okay. "in all of fillory, one magician "could drive every other magician insane. "an inventor of puzzles with no solution "and games where the rules changed for no reason. -"he was called the madness maker, "but he had been born ellis wirth-downs. (exhales) "on his first journey to fillory, "he played checkers with a powerful witch. -"he cheated, and her curse was simple. "the only kind of magic he would ever do again was game magic. "jane chatwin knew "his need to make others suffer was only "because he felt so alone in his cursed state. -"because the more ellis played, the more insane he became. "but soon, jane figured out how to break this curse." thank you, jane chatwin. "the madness maker's curse was, uh..." it's okay. -it's okay. i know this. i know this. i know this. what did jane say? -god, why can't i remember? (footsteps tapping) okay, look, i am, like, 100% sure i invented you, so if you could please just disappear? look, it was a party. he's probably sleeping it off under something or someone or someone's thing. -where you been? i had to run into the city. what's up? your lover man here thinks our little q got roofied last night. look, we covered the house. -let's start checking the lab, the libraries, whatever. i know where he is. he crawled in here and passed out around 1:00. anyway, i've seen weirder. come on. -he's breathing. that's something. let me try. this is bad. how bad? -"we need to tell the dean" bad. now what? we wait. (snaps) when are you gonna tell me what all this is for? -i did. bigger, better magic. yeah, you just never mentioned how. i guess i could tell you now. no, i don't feel like it. -later, maybe? how about never? that's a growing possibility. hmm. yes, i thought so. -the spell is called the scarlatti web. we cannot break it. no one can. wait, he's not gonna wake up ever? i said "no one," not "nothing." -we need to summon the matarese. quentin, i really thought we were making progress. i was wrong. no! what are you... -dean: lower the wards, please. very good. and now the south wards. dean fogg following the playbook. -the only thing that can break our spell on your ex-bff is a matarese. evil bug spirit of the underworld. about the only way one of those can get into this sugary wonderland is to lower all the protective wards and shields in the school, letting any old anyone waltz right in. welcome back to brakebills. let's go steal their shit. -careful. (chanting spell) that's the answer? it shorts out the cerebral cortex, which should break him out of this spell, which should bring him back, halfway. halfway? -the spell is like a prison in the middle of the desert. the matarese breaks you out of the prison, but you have to get yourself out of the desert, and it is a lot easier with a guide. penny, are you ready? (choking) (gags and swallows) -quentin? quentin! answer me! the problem is in your frontal lobe, quentin. your emotions are in complete control now, overriding logic, reason, even the will to live. -so this... is inserted into the eye socket. no,no,no. it's called a transorbital lobotomy. dad! (whimpers) -dad. daddy. (grunts) no, no, no! don't! -(gasps) dad, please, don't! daddy! (whimpers) no,no,no! -please, don't. i didn't mean to, i swear! (sobbing) i'm sorry. stop! stop talking. -stop listening. there are only three things that are real. you, me, and... (gagging) (coughing) that. -(coughing) get up. there are no straps. this is not a hospital. you are not crazy. -you can make it disappear. do it! (breathing shakily) (exhales) (lights buzzing) -penny: quentin? marina: the old alma mater hasn't changed a lick. julia: -wait, you went here? kicked out three months before graduation. so, what, this is revenge? when you're here for that long, they can't just erase you. they take you into a special room off the dean's office and remove every memory you make here. -every single magical thing you learned, amputated, but those memories are stored. normally, there's a shield on this door 100 magicians couldn't break. now... (snaps) keep a lookout. wait, what's going... (gasps) -it isn't working. penny: i don't know. i went there. i told him. -the matarese did its thing, and then everything went black. he's not gonna wake up. ever. no, marina just has to... marina is a psycho! -you were his friend. it's her spell. i can't... no, i didn't sign up for this shit. no, you have to go reverse it. -now. (gasping) well, i can finally reach you again. but that's never been the problem, has it? my reaching you. -will you please, just for once... no more riddles, okay? just tell me what to do. it doesn't matter what anyone tells you. you make the web you're in. -you're the spider and the fly, just like... look, i can help. i can give you the exact wording of the spell. it's too late. it was just supposed to be a joke. -yeah, bullshit. you did it to get even. fuck you! somebody help him. if i had the exact spell wording one hour ago... -there's got to be something. penny: you have any idea where he is right now? why would you do this? she didn't. -not by herself. did you? jane: you sure you want to play? no, i'm not sure of anything. -except i'm tired... so tired. of? fighting all the time. becoming someone that i actually want to be, and then realizing that i... -am nothing. so you made the hospital, conjured that terrible thing you never did to your father. of course, you're exhausted. and you can hide from it all, forever, in this lovely, quiet, blank void. but you also built a way out. -otherwise, why are he and i here? "the madness maker didn't play "for the joy of winning, just the fear of losing. "the real curse was, he only played when he could win, "which cut him off from the surprise, -"horror, sadness, and wonder of life." jane saw only one way out for him. stop playing. start living. (gagging, retching) -(coughing) (gasps) somebody woke up. took your damn time. somebody get him some brandy. -flying in. wait. where's the hedge bitch? (pants) chop chop. they're going back up. -(laughs) you should've told me that your friend wasn't properly erased. i know. and you and eliot never should've taken on the hedge witches alone. i know. -quentin, do you really think that the magic that we teach means that you just get to fly above right and wrong? magic does not solve problems... it magnifies them. i know that, too. believe me. -i don't need to be taught what magic is or isn't. i need to be taught magic, so that i can decide what it is or isn't. for me. that was almost well put. good night, quentin. -oh, and quentin, i'm glad that you're still here with us. me, too, actually. (door opens and closes) wow. (sighs) -wow. (laughing) i kind of can't believe lever thought i knew anything. (chuckles) i'd like to share now, some of it with some of you. (screaming) (gasping) -(gasping) wait. wait. no. no. -i didn't get you out of there because you pulled one over on me. you and kady bitched out, but you'd talk. she can't.

"he cheated, and her curse was simple: "the only kind of magic "he would ever do again was game magic. -"jane chatwin knew his need to make others suffer "was only because he felt so alone in his cursed state, "because the more ellis played, "the more insane he became. but soon, jane figured out how to break this curse." -thank you, jane chatwin.

"the madness maker didn't play for the joy of winning, "just the fear of losing. "the real curse was, he only played when he could win, -"which cut him off from the surprise, horror, sadness, and wonder of life." "jane saw only one way out for him: "stop playing. start living." hey. -somebody woke up. took your damn time. somebody get him some brandy. flying in. wait. -where's the hedge bitch? chop-chop. they're going back up. you should've told me your friend wasn't properly erased. i know. -and you and eliot never should've taken on the hedge witches alone. i know. quentin, do you really think that the magic that we teach means that you just get to fly above right and wrong? magic does not solve problems. it magnifies them. -i know that too. believe me. i don't need to be taught what magic is or isn't. i need to be taught magic so that i can decide what it is or isn't... for me. that was almost well put. -good night, quentin. oh, and quentin... i'm glad that you're still here with us. me too, actually. wow. -wow. i kind of can't believe i ever thought i knew... anything. i'd like to share now some of it with some of you. ow! wait. -no. no. i didn't get you out of there because you pulled one over on me. you and kady bitched out, but you'd talk. she can't. -oh, poor you and your taste of honey worse than none at all. you think brakebills cut you off from magic?

(gasps) hey, cheer up, babs. not working here means that you can start a new safe career. -we'll have spaghetti tonight to celebrate. sure, dad. and that's why we suspect vice-principal grodd has been trying to get into the boom tubes and bring his gorilla army to metropolis. even though i'm not working here we'll still hang out on weekends. here, i made you something. -it's a friendship bracelet. thank you. you're welcome.

(grunting) (gasps) -(screaming) come one, come all. welcome to elephant express, yo. just 'cause this is a rescue mission doesn't mean we can't have ourselves a pachyderm party. yay, beast boy! -hurray! ha-ha, that's got 'em. and while bumblebee's distracting her we'll... whoa! hurry, girls. -(grunting) i got this one. just like you had beast boy in pe? ow! ugh! -oh, no. ouch, that stung. i'm sorry. so sorry. this is awful. -supergirl, maybe you should leave the superheroing to the pros and everyone would be safer. but i was just trying to... trying and failing. i thought you was toast. bumblebee, you okay? -everybody calm down. i need to think. (all talking at once) (sonic screaming) (gasps) no. -see? even wonder woman would be safer without you. uh-oh. bumblebee got a boo boo. harley, get bumblebee out of here. -you girls with me. you'll be safer without me. (straining) oh! oh, finished already? finished with super hero high. -i'm going to korugar. i'll be in the next space ship off earth. why wait? just take the boom tubes. but the boom tubes are off-limits. -(chuckles) oh, not for you. with your strength you can open the door. (perry growls) what was that? (growls) -oh, just my perry. some grannies have poodles or parakeets, i have a pet parademon. (purrs) who's a good parademon? -now, i won't tell anyone about you breaking into the boom tubes if you don't tell anyone about me breaking the "no pet" rules. you're sure it's okay? oh, of course. now, you get in, jump that tube to korugar and i'll lock it back up before anyone notices. nothing bad can happen. -(grunts) (door breaks open) (siren wailing) see? that's how you do it. -none of that scratching and banging. now take care of that screeching. (snarling) (siren stops) you wait right here, sweetums. -(grunts) (laughing) (grunts) finally. furies, ready. -for today, we conquer earth. yeah! (all cheering) what? who are they? -oh, my female furies. big barda, kryptonite this one. huh? (groans) argh! leave her. -she'll be an excellent addition to our army. so gullible and eager to please.

(cheering) then i got her right in the kisser. -anyone seen supergirl? right there, perry. (crackling) that's beneath me. i'll beat you to pulp. -file an f.i.r. for that. will you, now? had something happened to anbu... just drop this. sorry, auntie. -forgive me. this is all my fault. i got into trouble when i borrowed money for my niece's treatment. i told him about it... he mortgaged your jewellery and gave me the money. -and beat up ten people... it's alright. you don't have to tell my mom... you told me your brother took it! it was you? -give me those fruits. these aren't fruits. it's country chicken. it's not what you think. this really is country chicken. -i got it at the meat shop. i got mad because the leader got upset with me. you shouldn't have done that. but it's okay. we didn't foresee facing each other in contest, at a young age. -now i understand the situation we're in. you've been given this m.l.a seat to not leak the evidence. especially in an election where there is no hope. stop kidding me. the media says you will not win. -besides, election results are determined by the people. it's not in our hands. what are you saying? we both have a 50-50 chance with the voters. i agree. -but we are the ruling party. we have the money. i don't want you to lose. the leader trusts me. i will win this for him. -that's all. i won't give it up for you. no one's asking you to. you see how you can win and i'll see how i can win. politics and personal life are separate compartments for us. -let's not get it mixed up. okay? so... what have you got to win against me? i have the truth. -who's kidding now? politics and truth? politics can be truthful. greetings, everybody. the ruling party filed corruption charges against our ex-minister on the mercury factory case... -you're going to say it's not true. what's new? i'm saying, it's absolutely true. you must be the first person to admit a fellow party man's charge to the media. i don't just admit it. -he claimed to have cleaned up the waste when he didn't... here's a copy of the certificate he signed. this is a copy of the f.i.r. filed by me to request action against him. no one is faultless. how we handle the repercussions is a show of our character. when i wanted to out this evidence... my party gave me an m.l.a. candidacy. -it's important that you and the people understand my party's integrity. if i'm voted the m.l.a... i will clean up the area around the factory and give a new life to the people. thank you. should the ex-minister marimuthu be arrested? -following a complaint lodged by pollachi candidate kodi, against his fellow party memeber... ex-minister marimuthu has been arrested. do you follow? okay. just get me the papers he showed the press... and you can have anything. what? -you think i'll betray kodi because i'm drunk? you could take my life, but i will never do that. i got drunk to make you see that, you scum. you orphan! i can't believe i sat you down and spoke like an equal. -i'm not an orphan. i've got an identity kodi. if kodi knew that you laid a hand on me... he'd rip that out of your body. don't be afraid, i won't tell him. -he must win. kodi should win, become an m.l.a. kodi will win! don't do anything rash while you're out on bail. trouble is only if he wins the election. -what if he doesn't win? look... it'll be very humiliating if the ruling party loses the by-election. the leadership will spit on our faces. first you stop spitting while talking, man. -i'm serious here. it's not funny. how do we win? we just need notes to win votes! our candidate is really weak. -it's impossible to win. how do you say i'm a weak candidate? big sister looks a little weak because she's on a diet. be quiet. i exposed the opposition's corruption... and made our campaign strong. -how is it strong? you said you would disclose evidence. but kodi has done that, locked up his own party man and earned a good name. how did this happen? what are you implying? -look! you and that boy have some connection. you're in love. talk about my big sister like that and you'll be shamed. what evidence have you got? -i'll rip your insides out. i've got all the evidence. there are ladies here. or i would have cussed so bad... you're talking too much! -#name? tell us how to win the election! stop joking around. always complaining about my big sister. not another word about her! -#name? if there is evidence, get your hands on it. we'll put up posters in the morning. shall i sign the poster yours truly with your name? and a "rest in peace" poster for you? -you'll never get anywhere in life! just heat up the glue. that opposition candidate kodi seen in the poster with me... i've never even seen him. i didn't even know of his existence until now. -my photograph has been morphed with someone unqualified. why is this girl speaking that way? you said they're getting married soon! that's just politics. you won't get it. -give me some rice. even meeting you has become so difficult. you called me a stranger on t.v. even though it's a lie... when i watched it, i felt terrible. it hurt me so bad. -it must have hurt you more to say it. it did hurt. but it's nothing compared to what you've done. i don't understand. i'm saying you understand politics now. -you told me our relationship has nothing to do with politics... but to get some votes, you plastered our photograph all over town? you're saying i did it? when we're facing each other and it's either you or me... you couldn't keep up your word. you've stooped so low just to win? don't talk that way. -we clicked that photo in kerala two years back. don't you remember? someone dug it up and released it. don't accuse me of it. you had your own party man locked up to become the m.l.a. -why wouldn't i suspect you? you're talking to me like that? i'll thrash you. don't you know me at all? are you stupid? -you are just... darn! we're slogging to make you win, and you come so late? from the posters, we gather where you were. yes. -we are in love. what's your problem? i don't understand. you don't? how will the people vote if two lovers are on opposing parties? -you'll go off with him, you'll be mrs. m.l.a. but it'll be so embarrassing for the ruling party to lose. don't mix up personal life and party work. there are brothers and sisters working in opposite parties, too. husband and wife is a new thing, yes. -but you can't blame big sister for it. looks like you'll just pick a new candidate! that's a good idea. then we can hold on to the constituency. will that work? -why do you keep cutting kodi's calls? he must be calling to ask what is happening here. go on, take the call. go! you got scared after seeing a couple of posters? -we're not scared. party or your partner? you must choose. or just leave the party. let's go. -you know the ruling party's victory is very important in by-elections. leaders have no space for gratitude or sympathy in their hearts. i will surely win, leader. only you're saying that. the intelligence agencies disagree. -their reports are unfavourable to you. it doesn't matter what you've done till now. your future depends on what you choose to do next. i'm giving you two days' time. everything must turn in your favour. -or i will have to change the candidate. mom, i'm injured here! but you only want to see if he's eaten. why won't you answer my calls? i need to speak to you. -come to the eucalyptus forest. i'm in a lot of trouble. i need to see you. just come. mom. -you think dad died because he came into politics. but i feel dad sacrificed his life so that i could become a politician. you're the most important thing to me. but let me do this one thing for dad. rudra and i are planning to get married after the elections. -you should go talk to her... i was angry, so i hit you. forget about it. come closer. look... -i spoke to my mom. i told her we'll get married after these elections. everything will be fine. okay? it won't. -you will win. and i will lose. my party men even found out that i met you today. i don't know how. i underestimated you. -what are you saying? are you accusing me of this, too? do you know what happened at the party office today? do you know the things they said to me? they said i'm a disgrace to the party, and asked me to leave. -i've been on so many podiums since i was a child... toiled day and night for the party, paying no heed to my own joy and sorrow. just when everything was falling in place, this happened. i don't know what to do. i'm a walking corpse. why? -why do you talk like that? i didn't do anything. there's a man with her. kill them both. she betrayed me and usurped my position. -she must not live. kill her! leave now. get out of here, i'll handle this. to defeat you... -i can't think of another way. it was not my intention to kill you till we got here. but i found myself hoping that one of these men would stab you to death... and i'd have my victory. but to fulfill my desires and dreams... i had to do it myself. -the seeds of ambition you sowed have sprouted a fervor in me. i don't know if i can be happy without you. but without the party, post and power, i cannot live. go. drop dead. -kodi! oh no... he called me "mom" and said he would live happily. kodi! i didn't speak to you all these years fearing this... -kodi! you're the reason he died! you've all killed him! get out of here. hold him back. -kodi! go to sleep, go to sleep; you mighty steeple. go to sleep, go to sleep; this is your final song. -i kiss, cradle and tightly grasp, the ground that bears your footstep. i treasure your tender smile, in my heart, my child. when will those eyes open again? just for that moment, i shall live on. you're half a pair, half a pair; -when will you awaken? you're the fruit of my loins, fruit of my loins; when will you awaken? one of my breasts, with milk it's brimming; waiting for my beloved suckling. -go faster! get out! someone killed your brother and you're killing everyone here! what the hell do you think we're here for? the investigation is ongoing. -we'll handle it. get out. you're glaring at me? oh, god! anbu... -i could stamp you, vermin. let him go, sir. get lost! let's go, son. #name? -kodi hit the man who attacked his brother in the police station. there was some strife. the police are enquiring. to salvage the party's reputation... we must nominate anbu, who is identical to his brother. sympathy is the most effective tool in tamil nadu politics. -if you speak to kodi's mother, this could work out. we must nominate anbu as a candidate to represent our party. no! i've already given up two lives because of politics. i must protect what i've got left. -we don't want politics. as someone who is a part of this family, i implore you... won't you do this? is it not our duty to fulfill kodi's dreams? he's gone anyway. what's the point in fulfilling his dreams? -no, let this go. mom... i shall contest. anbu, you know nothing. be quiet. -i know everything. i shall contest. won't you listen to your mother? you want me to give you up too, and be an orphan? get in! -i shall contest, mom. son... your father and brother ignored my plea and left us to suffer. won't you listen to me, at least? without you, i've got nobody. -don't do this, anbu. we don't need politics! i shall contest. in pollachi constituency, anbu, brother of deceased democratic party candidate has been announced as the candidate for republic party. bless you. -leader, let us not participate in this election. we won't win anyway. don't forget to vote for the candle logo. i swear on our milk produce, we shall vote for anbu. greetings, madam! -goodbye, madam. don't forget to vote for us, brother! kodi helped us put up this stand. tell me, whom should i vote for? come here, blob-head. -i told him we should withdraw. he's going to win anyway. why should we waste the deposit money? there were 23 independent candidates. 22 of them withdrew to save their deposit. -only one person is left. sir? i want to withdraw my nomination. for the second time in tamil political history, an unopposed m.l.a. anbu has been selected without contest. -republic party emerges victorous. i congratulate and appreciate rudra on behalf of the party. i've won you such a huge victory... how will appreciation do? what do you want? among the five people selected as members of parliament from the party... if my name is present, i will serve the people with utmost happiness. -if you think i'm not qualified for it... i ask for your forgiveness. you've got a knack for politics and strategy. you're very well-qualified. include rudra's name in the list. -okay, leader. after her appointment as a member of the parliament... we extend our warm welcome to m.p. rudra! pull over, please. okay, ma'am. what is the matter, mother? -you said it's urgent? i'm not able to rejoice anbu's victory or yours, dear. why, mother? anbu's attitude has changed a lot since kodi's death. i don't understand his problem. -i went to see a doctor about it. this condition is called 'twinless twin'. when one of the twins dies, emotionally, the other continues to live as twins. once a twin, always a twin. it's hard for the mind to accept the loss of someone... who's been with them ever since they were embryos in the womb. -the mind will try to balance the loss. some people wish to die the way their twin died. some others wish to live the life of the deceased, too. your son is the second type. anbu adapting to kodi's quirks and style, habits and attitude is the mind's balancing act. -this is not unusual. it's very common among twins. there are facebook pages... and blogs to support them on the internet, these days. in short, your son anbu is not one person. he's two people. -kodi was a tough, trusting boy who only did good. anbu is a witty boy who always has his way. now it's as though anbu has become a whole, made of both grit and wit. long live m.p. rudra! long live m.p. rudra! -long live m.p. rudra! long live m.p. rudra! long live m.p. rudra! two lives embodied in one incarnation; two seeds sprouting in a new germination. -with eyes that will daunt your heart bare; his savage ferocity will give you a scare. dub-dub, the heart beats on; bub-bub, boils the seething vengeance. throb-throb, the pulse is beating. -splash-splash, the heavens are pouring. the universe works on a calculation; there's no summation, only subtraction. stay on, till you find your answers; once you know, you're a thicket in flames. -kodi! kodi! kodi! kodi! kodi! -it's time to fly my flag. kodi! man, i'm going to hunt you down. what's with the formalities, anbu? you're an m.p. i'm an m.l.a. -i'm just giving you the respect that's due to you. politics and personal life are separate compartments for us. let's not get it mixed up. thank you. sir, i'll find the culprit in your brother's murder case... -he was my brother. i'll find the killer. sir, you look just like kodi. not at all like anbu. i am anbu. -and i am kodi, too. i'm the essence of kindness; to you, i'm the deadly noose. i'm the essence of kindness; to you, i'm the deadly noose. -i'm the essence of kindness; to you, i'm the deadly noose. we're here to take care of all your needs. i'm for official. them, personal. -#name? i must eat, sleep and sign where you tell me to. that's my only job. right? it's not like that, sir. -you're new to politics. politics was in my family when i was born. i know politics. and i know what it does to good people. first thing, i want money from businessmen, contractors, exporters in the constituency. -to be precise... i want my bribe. we usually pay the district secretary, madam. how could we pay the m.l.a, too? he's not causing trouble. -he's only asking for money. just give it to him. kodi! kodi! kodi! -i've got the names and transaction details on this file, like you said. it's time to fly my flag. kodi! man, i'm going to hunt you down. kodi! -you can't beat my lightning speed. kodi! you can't hide from me for too long. hello, sir. sorry, i'm ten minutes late. -to them, it's fifteen years too late. we shall undertake the treatment expenses of everyone affected by the mercury factory. but, the funds, sir...? i've got 7.5 milion as donation. use that money. -but that's unaccounted money. how could we use that? it's not fake notes, right? the notes are good, but those people... are not good people? -i'll prepare receipts with the list you gave me. give it to the district collector. they'll face income tax trouble. that's the whole point. they won't pay a penny to solve people's misery. -but they'll pay hundreds of thousands to placate the m.l.a. let there be an income tax enquiry on the source of the money. okay, sir. you said he's new to politics, and naive. but he's killing it, madam. -#name? he's not anbu the affectionate. he's the agitator. keep him out of your issues. sir! -what are you gawking at? don't know the value of a life? sir, we've called the ambulance. stand and watch till it arrives! get him in my jeep. -lift him up! bhagat, go with them. #name? you should have done something when the leopards attacked cattle. did you think about his family? -#name? we installed cameras to supervise leopard activity. bums steal it and sell it for booze money, sir. so you just let people die? we've recovered five of the six missing cameras. -we haven't been able to find the camera from the eucalyptus forest. it's true that the cameras went missing. we couldn't find the camera from the eucalyptus forest. we'll inform you first thing when we find it. okay! -i'll get it ready. was that anbu? yes. shall i ask father-in-law to talk about marriage? no such thing, sister. -your eyes can't lie. he's not in a state to understand my heart now, sister. he's not the anbu who followed be around. he's m.l.a. anbu. it gives me happiness to help him in his duties. -watch out. a lot of people line up behind the m.l.a. don't let them cross you. so, the new m.l.a. paid money to the factory and made a name for himself. you said he's not a politician... and he won't disobey you? don't lose out on district politics chasing central politics. -your worth is determined by it. just a friendly word of caution. don't let go of the bird in hand. hello, sister-in-law! welcome. -anbu... take off those glasses! don't do anything about the mercury factory before consulting me. it was my brother's final wish. want me to just let it go? -i'm saying, not now. tell me, when? after everyone else is dead and buried, too? i met the affected people. if you saw them, you wouldn't speak this way. -if we take up this issue now, the people will soon forget about it. i've spoken to the party about getting you a ministry. besides, listen to me and we shall definitely win the next term, too. i didn't come to politics looking for a posting or a nomiation. i came here for two reasons: -one, to finish the work my brother started against the factory. two... to find out who killed my brother and rip his body to shreds. neither you... nor the leadership can stop me. which government departments are accountable for this? whom should we question? -get me all these details. i'll meet everyone related to this. sir, the m.l.a. wanted to meet you regarding the mercury factory. i'm attending a funeral, out of town... my wife broke my nose in a fight! -i'm really tied up with work. no space to move. everyone is dodging it, anbu. we shouldn't try to side-step the party's hierarchy. we can't. -let's end the squabble with sister-in-law and do as she says. what, anbu? no one turned up? this is why i said not to antagonise the leadership. politics is not what you think. -it's not limited to arranging chairs and erecting a tent. it's much bigger. without the power of a position, you're like a bulb without a fuse. try to understand, anbu. without the party... -you're just one single man. just one single man? everyone is born single, madam. but i was born double. i wanted to solve this issue legally. -you wish this to be a people's movement. i'll do as you wish. anbu... you can holler all you want, but not even the birds and bees will turn up. assembling the masses is an art. -you don't know it. masses aren't assembled. they amass themselves. just watch them amass. this shiny looking mercury is the second most potent toxin in the world. -a few years after being buried in ground... mercury turns into methyl mercury, an even more dangerous toxin. i don't know how many of you are aware of the effects of mercury. sharing, following, liking and commenting on this video... is not enough. you must get down to the field. and rally. -if we all come together, if we all join our hands... we can still make a difference. if any of you care about the society, just give me a ping. i'll be there, dude. #name? you're used to seeing exhibitions and carnivals in the corporation ground. -for the first time, you'll see a display of students' power. they're going to rally for the clean-up of the mmercury factory waste. under my leadership. madam! who put my photo on the pamphlet? -you're shocked by this? then take a look at that! it's toxic, it's toxic! mercury is toxic. clean it up, clean it up! -clean up the mercury waste! our party's m.l.a. is standing alone and shining! you're an m.p. and the district secretary, too. you must run the show! make a promise before the media that our government will take up this cause. -the evening news must be all about our party. understood? yes, leader. clean it up! clean it up! -clean up the mercury waste! clean up the mercury waste! i said, move. move! out of the way. -what started as a small gathering has turned into a huge rally... owing to the respected miss rudra! i wish her a warm welcome. you said i could holler all i want and no bird or bee would turn up. not just the masses, but you ended up having to come, too! the mic. -a cause undertaken by students has never lost. this cause shall win, too. the mercury waste shall be cleaned. and strict action will be taken against those who are responsible. those who were affected... -great speech. this issue has dragged on for years. if you could tell them when it will come to an end? three months... respected madam rudra has promised that the governement will resolve this in a week! -let's hear it from the horse's mouth. i am pleased to say, our government will resolve this case within a week. so, madam? the flag... is flying high, eh? i told you to take those pills! -we're in such deep mess, who cares about the bloody pills? brother... why do you get so angry? #name? he's going to close the case in week, you know? -what will the party do? like i said before... if i'm going to the jail again, i won't go alone. you and the leader must prepare to come with me. i know how to shut them up. trust me. -watch what i do. you're familiar with this spot, eh? these cameras were installed by forest department to monitor leopards. some bums stole it... our good inspector, belongs to my caste, gave it to me for safe-keeping. what's your price? -you're new to power. you're new to money. started negotiating already? what do you want? we wanted to get rid of kodi. -it's good that you did it for us. but now you're causing us trouble. anbu... he's digging up the mercury factory issue again. he, too, needs to be... -just silenced. you must. the government will undertake... what a guy! never seen a guy like him in my 40 years of politics. -come here. i've only seen you around for a few months now. what 40 years? trying to piss me off? just general knowledge. -#name? what's on the third page? still reading the first page. reading the first page for three hours... you only came here for the free tea, right? -yes, sir. just drink up and leave. you just land here... drink tea for six months or a year... and vote for the other party! tell me, madam. why did you ask to see me? -you could have come to me with the camera. i'm an m.p. from the ruling party. i'll be a minister someday. i can do anything for you. you missed a good opportunity. -opportunity knocks once in a lifetime. thanks to me, you're getting a second chance. just think. you're an inspector. you could become the a.d.s.p, the d.s.p. and then the s.p. -if you do as i say. what should i do? kotraivel must die. you're such a fraidy-cat. how did you become an inspector? -madam, when he was 'hit-man' velu, he would stand before me with arms folded. he hustled his way into politics. now he treats me like a slave. he's from my caste. i thought he would help me out. -when you have offered it to me, what more do i need? i'll kill him. tell me when and where. you needn't go looking for him. he's waiting for us now. -don't use the police department's gun. use this. hello? sir. the m.l.a. came by again. -he yelled at us about the missing camera. what? don't know how to handle him? tell him to speak to me directly from now on. it's the m.l.a. -put him on speaker. hello, sir. where are you? i'm out somewhere... where? -on my way to pollachi from coimbatore. i'll reach by five o' clock. meet me when you're back. #name? he said he's coming from coimbatore to pollachi, but i heard a train passing. -there is no train from coimbatore to pollachi. yes, he must be on the pazhani #name? he said he'll meet me by 5. judging by the time, he must be near pazhani now. why is he lying? -he's hiding something. go to his house. i'll catch him on the way. i told you to fix the problem, you want to talk now? i waited for so long! -i have some solid evidence. i'll show you what i can do. don't be hasty. i know when to start what, and when to finish it. everyone knows that. -i can't hold on to this camera and trust you anymore. i'll show the world your true colours. you want to be a central minister? i'll send you to the central prison. what are you doing? -i've done so much for you! we belong to the same caste. don't do this... rudra, make him stop. i'll do what you say. -please ask him not to shoot. then burn that memory card. quick! it's done. it's done! -you kill him. i did as you said! madam, when he was 'hit-man' velu, he would stand before me with arms folded. he hustled his way into politics. now he treats me like a slave. -i'll kill him. just tell me when and where. if i hadn't removed the bullets from that gun... he'd have killed you by now. this is why you should never trust the middle men. we're politicians. -we must resolve our issues. only i can save you and your party now. no more camera games. you'll be stronger standing by my side than standing against me. erase your prints from the gun... and leave a letter in his pocket that says, i killed myself due to work pressure. -shove the body aside. let me hold on to these. 'pollachi inspector commits suicide' i'm on my way. you were the last person to call him. -you threatened the sub-inspector for his whereabouts. his suicide note says he couldn't handle the work pressure. considering all this... we suspect that you pressured him into solving your brother's murder. what are you doing? madam... -we suspect that he might be the reason for the inspector's suicide. who told you he may be the reason? all the evidence points against him. you can't enquire a ruling party m.l.a. ask your superiors to speak to me. -please leave now. madam, i... please. anbu, why are you so hasty? kodi was just your brother. -he was my everything. won't i find the people who killed him? tomorrow, the party will announce my appointment as a central minister. everything we wished for will happen then. you're an m.l.a. now. -all your mistakes will reflect on the party. where were you when kodi was killed? that day... our picture was posted all over the town. i spoke to him... no, i... -i met him. i was angry... he... where were you when kodi was killed? exactly like this, i was suspicious and asked him... he hit me and left. -where were you when kodi was killed? kodi, don't you suspect sister-in-law! fool! is he kodi? is he kodi? -if he were kodi... he would never suspect me. kodi called me that day... and asked to meet. there was so much trouble... i didn't go. if only i'd gone there... he'd still be alive. -and you wouldn't speak to me this way. sister-in-law! you're going overboard. why did you ask her such a thing for no reason? i have my reasons. -the inspector was dead when i went looking for him. i checked his phone, he had made several calls to one number. believe me, i have nothing to do with this murder. i was upset about my explusion and went on a vacation to goa. the inspector called me then. -he said he had evidence that i killed kodi. he blackmailed me and took several hundred thousands from me. i promise, i had nothing to do with your brother's murder. i did send thugs. but kodi beat them all up. -if you don't believe me, ask rudra. she was there with him. you're taking this scoundrel's word against sister-in-law's? we'll know tomorrow. greetings to all. -respected madam rudra will take charge as a minister in two days. to celebrate that... and to increase the number of party workers... i've selected seven people, one for each district. those seven people... shall receive their official badges from her divine hands. i request madam to make the day special for them. -what? you look like you just saw seven devils. you're all sweaty, your eyes look edgy, and yours hands are shaky. all this excitement for new members joining the party? i don't know who killed my brother. -nor do i know what you have to do with those men. but i know you're hiding something. truth is like a child. it is afraid of the dark. someday, it will leap towards light. -when it does, think of a retribution for the man who killed my brother. it's as though i'm looking at kodi. i've lost a lot in politics. but losing kodi, was a great loss. i will help you find the murderer of kodi. -do whatever you want. he's trying to find his brother's killer... he's so close now! you're only talking about your problem. tomorrow is the final hearing at the court. this evidence from environment board about the residue is vital for the final hearing. -anbu must not submit that evidence in court. they'll do anything to sabotage it. we must get past them, and submit it somehow. not just the evidence. we'll wipe him out, too. -move. he's not going to the court. he's going elsewhere. i'm tailing him. yeah? -watch her. she's in the town. so, anbu is going to the court. he must have the file. rudra said she'll handle everything. -what is she doing? the next time he suspects sister-in-law, i'll stop talking to him. i'll just eat and leave. okay, calm down. it's him. -yes, kodi? i'm going to coimbatore for the court hearing. pay close attention. you and mom should not step out for any reason. no matter who calls you. -especially if rudra calls you. fine. this is too much! can't go out when sister-in-law calls... i'll be taking charge as a minister tomorrow. -i'd really like you to be there and bless me. where is bhaghat singh? but you said they're getting married soon. sister-in-law! what happened? -are you hurt? check if he's alright. if you want your mother alive, bring me the file. velu, he doesn't have the file. where is the file? -i asked you to come with the file. let me see my mother first. i'll show you the file. kill him! he's come here empty-handed. -end his life. you kept wondering who killed your brother... it was me. i stabbed him to death with my bare hands. he stood against me, and died. -you're going to die, too. now it's as though anbu has become a whole, made of both grit and wit. all this time, i thought you knew who killed kodi. i didn't think you would have killed him. anbu, don't... -kodi wouldn't have died because she stabbed him. for some reason... he must have sacrificed his life to let her live. now don't make his death meaningless, by killing her. when the position you desire fails to give you happiness... and leaves you lonely... then you'll know kodi's worth. come on, anbu. -how could you, sister-in-law? kodi was my everything, sister-in-law. my father. my mother. my family. -above all... he was my... friend! i wanted to see you both live happily together. now it's all ruined! let it all go. go to kodi! -hey, 'firecracker'! give me that! kodi! the beast hunts the beast; man hunts the beast; -lust for power hunts the man. the button has broken. how much volume do you want to increase? he is such a big problem. hey dumb fellow, you may do anything.. -..but you will always speak like a donkey. you are a mad man and cannot take place of a politician. will you explain people in signs? you have to speak with pride on the stage. the speech should touch the heart directly. -you will never understand and for that it is necessary to speak. you are dumb by birth. why are you wasting your time? you cannot hear your own voice and is asking me to increase the volume. this is not politics but a war. -such a war in which everything is fair. and for this i am ready to sacrifice my life. our party's great leader has always paid.. ..attention to the public and its demands. hail to brother arvind. -shankar, you have been blessed with twins. go and see. you have had twin boys. congratulations. one for the family and one for the country. -this sis democratic party's young generation. and his name would be kodi. come on sit. hey, wait.. the sacrifice of the martyred will not go waste. -the brave blood of our ancestors is running in us. we are children of mother india. whatever may happen, the world cannot suppress our voice. the sacrifice of the martyred will not go waste. the brave blood of our ancestors is running in us. -we are children of mother india. leave his foot. this is not a mike. but his foot. he just starts anywhere. -yes, yes keep dreaming. come on sleep now. tell me where are we going? our leaders are doing great jobs for our benefit. whatever they do is for our progress so that we can move ahead. -they saved the fishermen who got arrested in other countries. they fought for their rights. that is why vote for republic party. if republic party moves ahead then we all will also move ahead. so don't forget our party is republic party. -thank you. common man is our pride. and we can sacrifice our life for our leader. jai hind. mercury is a very dangerous thing.. -..which was banned even in america 13 years ago. but here its factory is still going on. due to which innocent workers are being hurt and to the state as well. no one paid attention to their complaint. slowly, slowly they became unwell and then people started dying. -so many women became widows and so many children became orphans. and so many women became infertile. and those women who were pregnant gave birth to handicapped children. because of greed for money they.. ..turned our fertile land into infertile land. -will they keep doing what they want to? and we will keep watching. not at all. whatever may happen that factory will be closed tomorrow. we will not let the business of death going on in our state. -we all will finish it. shut down, shut down the poisonous factory. shut down the factory of death. stop playing with life. shut down, shut down. -stop playing with death. shut down, shut down. shut down, shut down.. shut down, shut down the poisonous factory. our movement is still not over. -calm down and get back. after many sacrifices we made our party. the movement is not just movement but a war against injustice. this is a fight of the workers who are suffering because of the factory. this is our last warning to the deaf and dumb government. -wake up otherwise the anger of people will overflow.. ..that your positions will also go from your hands. i shankar prabhu sacrifice my life for this movement. father.. father.. -kodi, never leave the party and go. turn by turn democratic party and republic.. ..party have come into power in this state. at present the republic party is in power. will this time my son become the secretary of the party's youth wing? -when the relative of the leader is in your support.. ..then what is the need to worry, brother veera. support is there but the name of that kodi is also in the list. i am worried about that. not only in the list but he is in everyone's heart as well. -brother, we had entered politics to earn money. but for him wealth is politics. if he decides to do something then no one can stop him. how are you district secretary? why are you joking in the morning, sir? -the leader is going to video conference at exactly 10o'clock. the people who are in the list have been asked to e present. don't take tension. i have talked to sister. everything is set. -i made him a part of my party because o you. but now will have to run the party according to him? just ask him not to interfere in every matter. go. so brother-in-law did not agree. -listen to me.. as soon as they heard your name 3 out 4 nominees escaped. but kodi is not backing out. you know that he does not listen to anyone. that kodi has still not come and should not reach here. -if he is not present in the conference.. ..then brother-in-law will not choose him. now it is your responsibility to stop him from coming here. a call is coming. put it on the speaker. -where are you kodi? i am on my way to drop children to municipality school. hey, get down. greetings boys. as soon as i saw you i thought something inauspicious is going to happen. -are you on your way to kill someone? what if any child sitting i the jeep got scared? you are there to take care of children. leave party office and help children. so you want me not to go to party office. -you idiot..just leave. the children are getting late as they have their exams. hey, you can leave from here only after killing us. i am not scared of cowards like you as. i am very brave. -what did you say? hey, time please. sit down. look children i have downloaded the game of talking cat.. ..so you play talking, talking with that. -understood. okay uncle. don't spoil my shirt as i have to go to party office. shall i teach him a lesson? i don't like stains. -wait, wait.. i think you want me to remove shirt. don't mess with my shirt. will you not listen? come on wipe. -did you think that once the shirt is spoiled i will not go to party office? i have many white shirts. the meeting has started and he is not to be seen anywhere. when did you come here kodi? i did not see you. -hey bhagat, the life is not just to eat, drink and be merry. there are many other problems also. i never understand what you say. if you understood then wouldn't you be on my position. look in front, the leader is on the tv. -greetings. greetings, sir. i have thought over the names that you have sent. keeping in mind everyone's work it was not.. ..easy to find the secretary of district youth wing. -in the last elections the party lost badly. inspite of the loss he got 5000 extra votes all alone. and proved that he is right candidate for this position. but he is no one else but kodi. from today he is the secretary of district youth wing. -i want every member of the party to support him. and should together make the party strong. if you would have said earlier i would have backed out. why did you send goons? kodi is on the ride now. -"now i have to show you how powerful i am."

a girl from our party has climbed a cell phone tower to show her anger. and you are saying that we should leave her and go from some other route. -muttu, keep moving on this route. who is this girl? bring the mike here. what is the name of the girl? rudra. -rudra, come down. we will look into your demands. i am party leader and i promise you that justice will be done with you. come down immediately. greetings cm sir. -what is this rudra? you are our party worker. then why are you behaving like a child. our minister ranga rao has been removed from post. actually this is a conspiracy of the opposition. -we will have to solve this case. and we will have to prove that our minister has been trapped in this case. child, that uneducated fellow is not worth becoming a minister. he has failed 10 times in 10th std. cm sir i know that ranga rao is uneducated. -till elections media will telecast this news as headlines. i just want to reverse the case.. ..and win a seat in the forthcoming elections. rudra's demand is very legitimate. please tell us about it. -the party will fight ranga rao's case and will prove that he is innocent. and then everyone will believe us. sir, one more question. sir, please..tell us.. thank you sir. -one more question sir? can the party think of giving a capable worker.. ..like rudra a ticket in elections? this will be decided in the party meeting. and whenever it happens you will be informed. -in last 25 years our party has not won in by elections. but this year because of ruling party we have got an opportunity. this time we can win. by spreading the news of ranga's false mark sheet.. ..media will help us to win and our half work will be done. -we just have to choose a candidate that can help us to win surely. who will be that candidate? sir, the candidate should be an experienced person. like our veera reddy. his character is very clean and he has won the elections twice. -he has a good hold on politics. and we can benefit from that. i am sorry sir but i do not think he is the right candidate. what do you think kodi you will say anything and we will keep listening? kodi, you are very young so don't try to be smart. -you have started talking too much. yesterday i had taken 100rounds in mahakal temple and had prayed for you. take the offering, sir. the leader is sitting inside, rudra. but for me you are the leader. -sometimes you climb the tower and sometimes you go in temple. and call me the leader. brother, prakash is speaking ill of you on the mike. tell him that i will chop him into pieces. yes brother. -did you see? if you do not have a post in the party then your life is like hell. you are right but even i have told the leader.. ..that i will choose the candidate. will cm sir listen to you? -of course. he will have to agree. my father is the owner of all his illegitimate property. so you choose the candidate you want. i have already chosen. -harshad rane is appropriate candidate. he will do as i ask him to do. harshad rane is saying on mike that you are a rascal. did you see? i pampered him and now he is insulting me. -hey, is vikram shinde still inside? yes, he is still inside and is speaking ill of you. they both were my men and now i think they have gone against me. you need not take so much tension. just close your eyes and goddess durga will show you the right path. -what will i do after closing my eyes? goddess durga is standing in front of me. i will not spare harsha and vikram. hold them, i am coming. sir, it is not a crime to be an education minister after being failed. -but the crime is that ranga rao has given bribe to get degree of ma. the law does not stop any uneducated person to contest an election. it is not a software company that everyone's degree should be checked. kodi is in meeting i will ask him to talk to you later. -we had many leaders who were.. ..uneducatedbut have served people a lot and have done great works, sir. even i am not highly educated. but still people voted for you, sir. some days ago there was an accident that took place at mg road.. -..but brother dhanraaj did not wait for ambulance to come. he out injured people in his truck and took them to hospital. he is uneducated but do not hesitate to help people. i think he should get the ticket. hey, stand up. -greetings, sir. there are hundreds of people in the party.. ..but the dignity of party is because of such people, sir. if you do not believe me then ask brother veera. so brother veera, isn't it right? -you are right. alright sir, let dhanraaj stand. yes. am i right? isn't it? -greetings, sister-in-law. bhagat had said that i am in meeting.. ..then why were you calling again and again. you should understand that i must be having some important work. i called you up 13 times. -even you should understand that i must be having some important work. my dear, why are you getting angry? the selection for mla candidate was going on. the candidate of my choice has been selected. when i started speaking then sir also supported me. -tell me, why did you call me here? tell me. the matter is not as important as yours.. ..but in coming elections the party is giving me a ticket. what are you saying? -really. not only this but till the elections are over i will remain on my post. is this true? was that person blind who gave you the post? what did you say? -you mean to say that i am not capable of it. do your party men give ticket to anyone? this must be happening in your party but in my party talent is appreciated. how many times have i told you to join my party? but you are not ready to listen to me. -look rudra, my leader knows what should be given to whom and when. and cm must be annoyed from ranga's deed.. ..that is why mla's ticket has been given to you. but this has happened. aren't you happy for me? -hey rudra, i am very happy my dear. come, lie down. come.. you are mla candidate as well district secretary. you have got a higher post than me. -now worry about me as well. i worry a lot about you. okay. after elections marry me and then you will have lots of fun. don't talk boring things. -all that will keep happening. let's have fun now. hey, look what has come on what's app? even i believe that students to take interest in politics. but not during the lecture. -sorry, sir. show some interest here as well. i need money now. shall i send you the address and will you get money there? i have asked for money for this child. -her name is revathi. she draws very well. she is a very talented girl.. ..but when till when, will she live no one knows. that day you had asked me as to why i save money. -to help people of my village. malti.. yes, sister. come. i have made arrangements for money, sister. -now revathi will be cured. she is my sister and he is her father-in-law. greetings.. why is everyone's condition bad in the village? this is not destined by god. -mercury's factor in annamalai is the reason. but factory was shut down. what will happen by shutting down the factory? the poisonous remains of mercury is buried in that land. son, the report of who clearly says.. -..that mercury is the most poisonous element of the world. after being buried in ground for some years mercury.. ..becomes methyl mercury which is many times more poisonous than mercury. that is why the plants, fruits and vegetables.. ..that grow from that land, water, and fishes present in water.. -..and the people who eat that are dying slowly. the poison of mercury has spread 25kms around the factory. there are so many problems here then why don't you.. ..tell these problems to the government. so many times have i told them? -republic party solves only those matters by which rich are affected. or their vote bank is affected. so they solve only those matters by which they are benefitted. we are 100-200 adivasis who stay on hills. who will listen to us? -who has got so much time, son? so you can tell this matter to the opposition. the problem is that no one listens to us. minister veera reddy took bribe of 20 crores.. ..and wrote this lie in the report that the debris of mercury.. -..has been completely removed from the area around the factory. and the file of that case has been closed. we told about this to so many people and departments. we got soil testing, water testing done. we were cursed and humiliated.. -..but in spite of that deposited many documents related to this case. i have proofs of many ngo's. but to whom should i take. years ago a man had burnt himself to get the factory shut. even if we all burn ourselves.. -..then we are not going to get justice in this birth. doctor.. father.. i know the factory has been shut but its debris has not been cleaned. but ex minister veera reddy signed the file.. -..and said that the entire area around the factory has been cleaned. the papers i got after filing rti i came to know.. ..that cleaning of the factory has not yet started. look at this. kodi, your anger is valid. -but you have to do compromise in politics. and fund is also required for the party. he did not take bribe of 20crores just for himself. this is wrong, sir. look, according to the media report we are winning the election. -after winning we will clean the debris. we will do away with all the problems of the people. by digging the land we will get the mercury cleaned. all this work will be done from party fund. that is why this matter should be suppressed. -ask him to leave the file here. kodi, keep the file here. don't you have faith on me? sir, don't you have faith on me? let me keep this file. -it will be safe. brother-in-law, did you see how that boy was talking to you? what if he leaks the matter? i have named him and he will bring disgrace to my name. so many children are in danger. -what is the fault of those innocent people in this? those children are being made the target.. ..so that we can earn money on their dead bodies. i talked to leader in loud voice as well. it would have been better if you would have given me all the proofs. -i would have asked my party to raise this issue.. ..and it would have spread like fire. why? so that you win in elections. there is no need. -i will handle it. keep dreaming. by misusing his position ex minister veera reddy.. ..took bribe of 20crores signed the papers of annamalai mercury factory. it was written that the area has been cleaned. -but in fact of nothing of this kind happened. rascals who play with emotions of people should be ashamed. very soon i will get all the proofs in front of media. i will fight till the innocent people do not get justice. you had said that the matter will not be revealed. -not only did he disgraced you but also that of party. he has shook hands with rudra. oh no, party's car. tell me why did you call me here? look, our love is our personal matter. -even you disgrace my party so what if i did it this time. this entire matter was between sir and me. i had faith on you that is why i told you all this. don't take this matter to heart. whatever happened was for good. -because of this your minister will not do any work. we both think for the benefit of public. you have not done this for the benefit of people.. ..but for your personal benefit. yes, so what is wrong in this. -this is politics. if i will not think about myself then i will not be able to do anything. i want to go from vidhansabha to parliament. even if you were an mla i would have fought against you. tell me brother hari. -where are you kodi? come quickly to the party office. okay, i will come. what has happened, kodi? has there been some problem? -i believed you and shattered my faith. sir, i have not done all this. no one knew about this then how this matter leaked. either you work for opposition or you have got money for that. hey. -this is not just a party but was my father's house. and now it is my house. because of this i have not talked with my mother for last 10 years. she does not even ask me for food. and for last 10 years i have not called him mother. -i am here just for my party and sir. that is why think before you talk. stop this drama of yours. you can fool sir but not us. sir will take whatever decision he wants to take. -if you want to listen from me.. ..then don't come here from tomorrow. sir, you.. and till i don't ask you to come don't come to party office. i had thought a lot about you.. -..but you disappointed me. brother, kodi is not like this. don't argue. get out. the message has still not spread so much. -we can say to the media that this is conspiracy of ruling party. but if he takes the proof to the court.. ..then we will not only lose the by elections.. ..but will also lose assembly elections. sorry brother, i unnecessarily trapped you in this matter. -the matter is not useless. because of this our father burnt himself. now suggest that how to get rid of this problem. if that boy is killed then the problem is also over. yes sir, we have already done this before. -we very well know how to remove the problem from our way. what do you mean? will you kill someone? of course. if we will not kill him then we all will be in trouble. -am i right, sir? no one else knows that kodi has the proofs and papers of that factory. we will have to do as veera is saying. this politics is like a trap, brother. cheating, insulting, killing..all these are normal things, brother. -if you want to stick to it then.. ..you will have to become part of this dirty politics. you will not be able to do this, brother. nor you will be able to do all this. hey, will you teach me politics? -go and make notes for your lecture. go. i have a correct man for this. he will do the work and quietly surrender. looking at him it seems he is not bothered. -you keep sitting like this. i will have to do something. but listen to me. tell me, mother. son ambo, i have crossed the railway crossing of the city. -come quickly to pick me up. okay, i will come. i am going to pick up mother. hey, you wait. i will go and get her. -what?

-stupid, think intelligently. there will be 6 mla's and 1 mp under her. she will take care of the politics of the district. she played magic on ranga that he made her a queen. look at me. -after 40 years of being a servant.. ..i have been able to become just an mla. years ago in a party function i had take rudra to the stage. she respects me a lot and.. ..will fall at my feet the moment she sees me. -greetings. madam, bless me madam. please get up. you are an incarnation of goddess. pride of women. -rudra madam has brought in new morning. hail to her, hail to her. hail to her cutting me off he is trying to make his position. this duffer is cheating me for his selfish motives. -district secretary listens to me. your work will be done. she will do as i say. come on keep the phone. come rudra, come. -please get up, sir. there is no need to touch my feet now. i had told you that rudra will fall at my feet the moment she comes. where has she gone?

he had to suffer as a result of your hooliganism and politics. what would happen of me if something had happened to him? -hello.. kodi, i have come to know about him.. ..who planned an attack on ambu. where is he? enough..poor fellow made a mistake. -and since yesterday you are there in each news bulletin. he has come here to apologize to you. your brother is not very innocent. he had beaten him and his men. i had thrashed him for teasing and cursing a girl. -if i was wrong then he would have filed a complaint against me till now. okay fine. he has come here to solve the matter. what is your problem? come on shake hands and finish the matter. -first tell me, how much bribe he has given you. you are a policeman. file an fir and put him behind bars. don't support him. i will file an fir against you to thrash him. -kodi, you are forgetting that you are an mla candidate. so what do you say? shall i file a fir against you? come on write fir. not for thrashing him but you. -i will thrash you in your police station in front of your people. come on arrest me. if something would have happened to ambu.. ..then i would have killed you. sorry aunty. -forgive me. this is my mistake. the problem started when i took money.. ..as loan from him for the treatment of my niece. and unnecessarily he got trapped in this matter. -to pay the money he sold your ornaments and also thrashed the goons. mother, do not pay attention to her. she just says anything. that means not your brother but you took the ornaments. will you take these fruits home? -this does not contain fruits but eggs of desi chicks. hey, they are not as you are thinking. they are really eggs of a desi chick. i just bought them. i felt bad because sir was angry. -you should not have done this. no problem. i had not thought that we would be.. ..standing against each other so soon in life. really, these situations are more complicated than they seem to. -you were given the ticket.. ..so that you do not present the proof in front of everyone. as it is your party will not be able to do much in this election. why are you joking, rudra? media reports say that you are not going to win this time. -as it is results of elections depend on public. there is nothing in our hands. who said so? we both have 50:50 chances to win. understood and don't forget that we are the ruling party and have money. -look, i don't want you to lose because of me. sir has given the responsibility to me.. ..so i will have to win at least for him. i will leave no stone unturned in fighting against you. fight. -who has stopped you? you fight for your victory and i will fight for mine. look, politics and life are two different things. don't mix both. okay. -as it is what do you have that you will against me? i have truthfulness. now who is joking? politics and truthfulness? politics can be truthful also. -thank you for coming. ruling party has put great allegations of cheating on our senior party.. ..and ex-minister veera reddy for that mercury factory case. that means you want to say that all this is lies. i am saying that this is absolutely true. -sir, you are the first politician.. ..who is revealing the wrong doings of your partymember. i am just not saying. he had proved that the debris has been cleared. this is the certificate that he had signed. -this is the copy of fir that i filed against him.. ..so that police can start doing investigation as soon as possible. no one is honest here. but will come to know whether we are honest.. ..or not from the way we handle this matter. -when i said that i would reveal the proofs.. ..then my party made me the mla candidate. but it is important for you to know.. ..that what the intentions of my party are. if i become the mla then i will the area round the factory.. -..and people living there will get a new life. this is my promise. bye. jai hind. sir one question please. -after odaychi candidate kodi filed an fir against his party member.. ..and ex-minister veera reddy the police arrested him. you know well what you have to do. yes. okay i will go. -okay, brother. i want those papers that he had kept in front of the media. in lieu of that you will get whatever you want. what do you want blacky? should i get the papers for you? -i will give my life but will never cheat kodi. understood. i spit on people like you. you, orphan. you do not have the status to drink with me. -orphan.. i am not an orphan. kodi is everything to me. if kodi comes to know that you have thrashed me.. ..then you will not be spared. -don't be scared. i will not tell him. he wants to win. he wants to win and become an mla understood. -no one can defeat kodi. you have been released on bail so don't act wrong. the problem will arise when he wins the election. but what if he does not win. the thing is that if the ruling party loses in by election.. -..then people will make fun of us in the entire state. the high command will insult us. first you stop spitting. if i knew.. .. -i would sit here with an umbrella. keep quiet. some serious matter is being discussed here and you are joking. tell me how we will win. if you want votes from people then give them money. -our party candidate is weak that is why it is difficult to win elections. who are you to call me weak? listen, madam is on diet so that is why she looks weak. one minute sir. but.. -i exposed the opposition with mercury factory. and because of me our campaign became strong. where did it get strong? you had said that you will present the proof. kodi did this. -by sending his party worker to jail he became a hero. or you made him a hero. what do you want to say? look madam you both are having an affair. hey, if anyone says a word against madam.. -..then i will not spare him. do you have any proof.. ..or you are just talking nonsense? make him sit. if anyone says a word against madam.. -..then i will not spare that person. make him sit. i will not spare anyone. don't be a follower of madam. he is just talking unnecessarily. -leave me. madam does not say anything then it means you will go out of control. don't talk nonsense here. make him sit. is this a joke? -keep quiet. sit down. listen, gather proof of madam and kodi's affair.. ..and get its poster printed. shall i get it printed behind the poster that it is from mla ravi nayar. -yes and then i will throw you out from work. now don't think too much and start working. the poster of kodi and me that have been put up in the city.. ..is a conspiracy against me. 'i don't know him and have never met him.' -'i am sure by using photoshop someone has put my photo with him.' what is this? why is this girl speaking like this? you had said that she is going to marry kodi. this is politics, mother. -leave it and give me rice. 'but i will not accept defeat.' now it is getting to even meet you. on tv you made me a total stranger. thought it is a lie but i got shattered when i heard this. -if i have been hurt then even you must be hurt. i felt hurt but not more than the deed you have done. i did not understand. don't act smart in front of me. you had said that our relationship will not come in the way of politics. -but to get some votes you put up posters in the entire city. hey. i have not done anything. i very well know what you have done and what you have not done. just to win you stooped so low. -you brought our relationship in front of everyone. hey, do not speak anything without thinking. that photo was clicked two years ago in kerala. do you remember? now someone got the photo and put the poster on wall then i am not at fault. -to become mla you sent your own man to the jail. then for your love you will.. i am not that cheap that for winning i would use you. in last so many years you did not know me. have you gone mad? -you.. to make her win we are working so hard.. ..and the queen has just arrived to the office. this clearly shows with who you were. right, we love each other. -what problem do you have with this? i cannot understand this. you cannot understand? when two lovers will stand against each other in election.. ..then for whom will public vote. -if someone sees you with him then everyone will call you mrs. mla. after losing the elections the ruling party will be disgraced. look brother; do not mix personal and political life. there must be so many lovers.. ..which are there in ruling as well as in opposition party. -everyone has their own thinking. what is the fault of madam in this? look he is trying to keep away madam. the idea is not bad. at least we will not be disgraced because of defeat. -but this is wrong. why are you disconnecting kodi's phone again and again? pick it up. what is the problem? he must be yearning to know what is going on here. -go and give all the details of the party. go. because of some posters you all have got scared. don't think that we have got scared. you will have to decide between your lover or party. -otherwise resign from the party and leave. go now. rudra, you very well know.. ..how important it is for us to win the forthcoming elections. do you want to lose this election because of this love? -i will surely win sir. if this continues then how will you win? reports are against you. it does not matter what you have already done.. ..but it matters what path you choose ahead. -your entire future depends on this. i give you two days time.. ..and make an environment for victory in the elctions. otherwise i will have to change the candidate. what are you doing mother? -hurry up as i am feeling hungry. don't worry about kodi. he will come. hello. since long i am calling you. -why aren't you picking up the phone? i want to talk something important with you. hurry up and meet me. i am in great trouble, kodi. hey. -you first meet me. come on. listen mother. you think politics killed father. but he sacrificed his life so that i can become a leader. -nothing is more important to me than you. but please let me do this for father. after elections rudra and i are deciding to get married. if once you will talk to her then.. hey, you said something which made me angry. -come closer. look.. ..i have talked to mother.. ..and told her that we are getting married after the elections. everything will be fine. -nothing will happen. you will win and i will lose. my party people have come to know that i met you today. i do not know how. you are playing a very nice game kodi. -what are you saying? don't you have faith on me? do you know what happened in party office today? what all i had to hear? they said that i am a disgrace to the party and should resign. -i do not know from childhood till today i worked hard for the party. i just forgot my pain, sufferings and just thought about the party. but when everything was fine i became like a moving dead body. why are you saying like this? i have not done anything. -brother, there is a boy with her. kill both of them. she cheated me. don't spare them. okay brother. -you cannot escape now. you go from here. leave and i will handle them. run.. let's go from here. -let's save our life. i could not find any other way to defeat you. i had no intention to kill you. i was just praying that one of those men kills you.. ..and i win the elections. -but to fulfill my dreams i had to do this. my ambition has become very strong. i do not know whether i will remain happy without you or not. but i cannot live without party, post and power. you die. -you are not needed. if you die then i will become the leader. your death is my victory. rudra will reach to the top of politics. kodi, my child. -yesterday after so many years you talked to me. kodi, i was scared that.. ..just like your father something inauspicious might happen with you. and that is what has taken place, my child. what should i do now? -kodi.. why have you come here? you all have killed my kodi. go away from here. get a side. -kodi! you made me an orphan. sister-in-law, bring kodi back. people are in shock because of kodi's death. thousands of people have got together. -ride quickly. get lost. someone killed your brother and you are troubling us. i am an experienced officer. the investigation is going on so we will find. -get lost. why are you staring at me? i shall not spare you.. anbu.. if i see you gain then i will thrash you. -no sir, stop. don't beat him. take him away. if kodi was alive.. come let's go. -..then he wouldn't dare to do this. let's go. kodi thrashed that person in police station who beat his brother. there was an argument between shinde and him. the police is investigating. -to maintain dignity of the party.. ..we should give the ticket to kodi's brother ambu. in politics pity only makes up for wrong things. something might happen if you talk with kodi's mother. we want to give ticket to anbu from party's side. -no child. already politics has killed my husband and son. i do not want ambu to get involved in that. i do not want to lose him. as a member of this family i request you to agree. -don't we have any responsibility towards our kodi.. ..that we fulfill his dreams? without him his dreams and desires don't have any value. you go away child. go. -mother.. ..i will fight. ambu, you do not know about the politics so keep quiet. i know everything mother. i will fight. -no, you will not do anything of this sort. you do not what happened with your brother and father. have pity on your mother and go inside. i will fight, mother. son, your father and brother have died.. -..and have left us alone to cry. at least you listen to me. i don't have anyone except you. don't even try to think of going into politics. i am ready. -what are you saying? in kolachi vidhansabha deceased democratic party's leader.. ..kodi's brother anbu has been declared their candidate.. ..by republican party in forthcoming elections. always remain happy and blessed. -sir, it would be better if we do not contest these elections. as it is we are not going to win these elections. give your precious vote to this candle. i swear upon the milk in this can that i will vote for ambu. greetings, mother. -i will leave. greetings brother. where are your feet? don't forget to vote for me. brother, kodi had made this auto stand. -so we will surely vote for ambu. hey baldy, come here.. i had asked this baldy to take his name back. as it is he is going to win. then what is the fun to get ourselves insulted. -sir, total 23 independent candidates stood. out of those 22 have taken their name back. only one person remains. sir.. i want to take my nomination back. -in the history of politics it is happening for the second time.. ..that only one candidate has stood up and has won uncontested. from today anbu is kolachi vidhansabha's new mla on behalf of the party i would like to congratulate rudra that he made us win. what will i get for the victory that has taken place because of me? -tell me, what do you want? if i was one of the five mp's which the party has to select from.. ..tamil nadu then i would take party to new heights. if you think i am not appropriate for that then i take my words back. rudra, you have very well understood the complexities of politics. -and you are capable too. add rudra's name to the list. okay sir. we welcome and greet our new rajya sabha member, rudra thakur. that by coming to kolachi district she has given us a chance to meet her. -stop the car on the side. what happened, mother? why did you call me here? nothing child. you have become mp and anbu has become mla so i am feeling very scared. -why so? after kodi's death ambu's behavior has changed a lot. sometimes he behaves like kodi. that is why i went to meet a doctor. this condition is called twin less trap. -if one of the twins die then it is possible that the second one.. ..starts living like the first one. once a twin always a twin. the brain does not accept that someone with.. ..whom he had connection from mother's womb is no more. -that is why he behaves like that. some people adopt the lifestyle of his twin and behave like him. and sometimes he wants to die like his twin. your son is like first case. it is not strange that anbu is behaving like kodi and is adopting his habits. -it is very common in twins. this has been seen earlier also. nowadays it has been written on internet, facebook and blogs. your son is not just anbu now but also kodi. kodi was strong and straight forward person. -anbu is a calm natured boy but knows well how to get his work done. now i am not able to understand whether he is kodi or ambu. hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. -hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. -hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. hail to mp rudra devi. welcome madam. -why all these formalities? you are mp and i am mla. i am just giving respect to your post. politics and life are different. don't mix both. -thank you. greetings sir. i will soon find the person who killed your brother. he was my brother so i will find it on my own. sir, you are looking just like kodi not ambu. -i am anbu as well as kodi. greetings sir. we will together manage whatever you want. i am official pa.. ..and they both are personal. -greetings sir. so my life will go according to you all. this is what you want. right. no, no sir. -you have come new into politics so that is why.. politics is in my blood from birth. i know politics and also that what it does to kind people. first of all i want money from all the businessmen, contractors, exporters.. in simple language i need bribe. -normally we give money to secretary so how can we give money to mla. he is not interfering in work so give him money. sir, this file has names and details of money. greetings sir. tell me. -sorry, i am late by 15 minutes. these poor people are being delayed for last 15 years. those people who are sick because of mercury factory.. ..will be given entire expenses from medicine to hospital by us. but sir, money.. -i have received 75lakhs as donation. use that money. this entire is black money. how can we use this? is the currency real.. -yes the currency is real but people who have given this.. they do black marketing. prepare the receipt of those people in the list which you had given me. it should reach the district collector tomorrow. sir, what if there is income tax problem.. -this is the real thing. they will not give money to poor and needy people.. ..but if mla asks then immediately they give money. let the income tax department investigate where the money has come from. then they will understand. -everything is fair in politics. we should not go against him. he is absolutely right. do whatever you think is right.. ..otherwise the positions can change anytime. -why are you staring at the body? don't you have value for human body? sir, we have called the ambulance. so will you remain standing like a ghost? come on put him in my jeep. -pick him up.. be careful.. keep him in the ambulance. bhagat, go with them. okay fine. -you should have done something when panther attacked the car. where were you at that time? sorry sir. we had put up cameras to keep a watch on panthers. but drunkards steal them and sell them in the market. -that means people will keep dying and you will continue to make excuses. no sir, we have found out 5 out of 6 cameras. but we have not been able to find the camera installed in eucalyptus jungle. this is true that the camera was missing. we are also trying to find that camera. -as soon as we find it we will inform you first, sir. okay fine i will do the preparations. was it ambu's call? yes sister. malti, do you love ambu? -no, no that is not the case sister. but your eyes tell this. the situation is such that he will not be able to understand.. ..my heart's condition at this time. he is not anbu like he was earlier.. -..but has become mla ambu. i feel happy sister helping him in his work. be careful. there are many people behind an mla. it is possible that many may move ahead of you. -madam, new mla collected money to clean the debris.. ..of the factory and became a hero. you had said that he is not a politician.. ..and will not do anything against you. in desire of central politics do not leave your hold on district. -remember one thing that even today you are recognized by your district. do something quickly otherwise you will lose control. greetings, sister-in-law. come. ambu, remove these goggles. -do not do anything in mercury factory without taking my suggestion. this was my brother's last wish so you don't want me to fulfill it. no, but don't do it as of now. then tell me when. when everyone will die and get buried in that land. -rudra, i have met the victims. if you would have met them then you wouldn't be talking like this. if we raise this issue then people will forget about it. i have talked in party to give you ministry. you just listen to me so that we win next election. -i have not come into politics because of greed for post or ministry. i have come here for two reasons. first, to fulfill the work of the factory. secondly to kill the person who killed my brother? no one can stop me. -neither you nor party high command. find out which government departments are responsible for this. because if we have to raise issues in future.. ..then we should have all the details. i will be able to meet them only after that. -sir, regarding mercury factory matter mla wants to meet you. my mother-in-law has died. i will not come to office for 45 days. i have to get kidney transplant sir so cannot come for 15 days. i have to go and do work at my maid's house, sir. -sir, the minister has said that.. everyone is making excuses kodi. we should not do anything different from party high command. we will achieve nothing. if we work with sister-in-law then everyone will be benefitted. -what happened, ambu? no one came. that is why i had said not to ignore the leaders. politics is not like the way you think. do you think just by arranging 20 chairs and a tent.. -..you think public meeting is done? this is politics. without post and power you are just useless. the important thing is that without party you are just a single man. just a single man. -everyone is born single, madam. but i was born double. i want to solve this matter lawfully. but you want it to become public movement. okay, whatever you wish will happen. -ambu, try as harder as you want to but no one is going to come. it is an art to gather people which you do not know. people are not gathered but they automatically gather. just wait and watch. son report of who clearly says.. -..that mercury is the most poisonous element of the world. after being dug for many years underground.. ..mercury changes into methyl mercury. it is more harmful than mercury. you all have seen the diseases that can be caused by mercury. -now just by liking, sharing, commenting won't work. that is of no use. you will have to work towards with it whole heartedly. if we all come together, if we all join our hands.. ..we can still make a difference. -if some of you are really worried about the society.. ..then just give me a ring. till now you have seen exhibitions.. ..and political programs on corporate grounds.. ..but for the first time in history you will see the power of students. -all those students are going to do a rally.. ..to clean the debris of mercury factory. under my leadership. madam.. who published my photograph on this paper? -you seem to be shocked just by seeing the paper.. just look there madam. clean it, clean it..clean the debris of the mercury. clean it, clean it..clean the debris of the mercury. what is this rudra? -our party mla is alone is becoming popular. you are mp and district secretary as well. you should have done this. give the statement in front of media.. ..that our party will surely solve mercury factory case. -in the evening news our party should be talked about everywhere. understood. understood, sir. clean it, clean it..clean the debris of the mercury. clean it, clean it..clean the debris of the mercury. -get a side. get a side.. please come, madam. a matter which began from a small area has now become a public movement. the credit of this goes to our mp rudra's support and guidance. -you had said that i might try harder.. ..but no one will join me in this movement. but now even you had to come on stage. mike, mike... any matter raised by students has never failed. -similarly even this matter will be successful. the debris of mercury will be cleaned. and strict action will be taken against those responsible for this. those people who are unwell and suffering will be.. the speech was superb. -this matter is going on for last one year. can you tell me till when will this be solved? look ambu i.. mp rudra madam has promised.. ..to solve this matter within a week. -but not like this. i want madam to say this. tell them, madam. i am feeling happy in announcing that.. ..our government will solve this matter in a week's time. -madam, kodi is alive. so many times i have asked you to stop cribbing. remain quiet or back to your parents' house. veera, it is not good to be so angry. what should i do? -in a week's time he will close the case. then what will the party do? tell me. i have already told you that.. ..if i go to jail this time then i will not go alone. -i shall drag you as well as leader sir. veera, i very well know how to make people quiet. just keep watching what happens next. did you remember something seeing this place? forest department had put this camera.. -..to keep a watch on the movement of panther. but someone stole it. it is good that inspector knows me.. ..so he gave the camera and chip to me. tell me how much money do you want? -you have just come into power and showing so much attitude. you have down to money so soon. tell me what you want. we wanted to do away with kodi. good that you did our work. -and now his brother has become troublesome. that ambu is raising the matter of mercury factory again. now there is a need to keep him quiet too. do you understand? respected rudra madam has promised.. -he is a great man. in my career of 40 years i have not seen a man like him. uncle listen.. i am seeing you here for last 40 days only. no sir. -and you are talking of 40 years. are you trying to fool me? on sir on the third page.. page 3..whose photo has been published? that is what i was telling you. -uncle, are you seeing photo for last 3 hours. tell me the truth. you just come to party office to see photographs on page 3. yes sir.. get lost.. -you support us but give vote to the opposition. tell me madam. why did you call me? i thought you would get the camera. i am mp of the ruling party and will become minister some day. -just think what all i can do for you. you missed a golden opportunity. very few times life gives an opportunity. thank god that because of me you are getting a second chance. at present you are just an inspector.. -..but you can become adsp, dsp and sp as well. but you will have to listen to me. tell me what i have to do. kill kamal rao. you are a coward person. -how have you become an inspector? what should i do madam? when that kamal was a gangster he used to salute me. because of his brother-in-law he entered politics.. ..and now i have to salute him. -i had thought that we would work together but he is making a fool of me. now i have got your support so will set him right now. i will kill him. tell me madam. where will he be found? -we need not find him. he is waiting for us. take another gun and not service gun. use this. hello.. -sir, mla sir had come here. he shouted at us regarding the stolen camera. hey, you people cannot control an mla. ask him to talk directly to me. it is mla's call. -put on the speaker and talk. okay. greetings, sir. where are you? i am out for some work. -okay but where are you? i am coming from coimbatore to polyachi. i will reach by 5o'clock. okay, meet me as soon as you reach. okay sir. -he is saying that he is coming from coimbatore to kolaychi. but i heard the sound of the train. there is no train from coimbatore to polaychi. correct. he must be on polaychi route.. -..and says that he will reach by 5. so according to him he must be near pachchani. but why did he lie? he is surely hiding something. you go and check in his house.. -..and i will go and check there. okay, kodi. i had asked you to solve the problem.. ..but why did you call me here to solve the problem. are you playing a game with me? -look i have great proofs against you. you do not know what i can do. don't make haste. i know when something has to start and when it should end. don't try to be smart. -i am not going to hide your proofs for long. i will bring your true picture in front of the world. instead of becoming central minister you will go to central jail. hey wait. what are you doing? -i will be shot at. have you gone mad? we both do the same wrong things. rudra, make him understand. i will do as you say. -ask him to keep the gun down. so come on burn that memory card. okay fine. don't waste time. i have burnt it. -now are you happy? kill him. i did as you said. no, no.. no, no.. -what should i do madam? when that kamal was a gangster he used to salute me. because of his brother-in-law he came into politics.. ..so now i have to salute him. tell me madam where will he be found? -if i had not removed the bullets from the gun.. ..then you would have died by now. that is why never believe on middlemen. we are politicians so we have to solve our problems together. now only i can save you and your party. -so do not play these camera tricks with me again. not standing against me but by standing with me you will become powerful. remove your finger prints from the gun. and leave a suicide note in his pocket. just write that due to pressure of work i am killing myself. -put aside his dead body. rest i will handle. okay fine, i will reach. before dying you had a talk with him. you had threatened sub inspector krishna.. -..and asked him about his whereabouts. it is written in his suicide note.. ..that he could not tolerate pressure of work. to solve the murder case of your brother.. ..you put so much pressure on him that he committed suicide. -but sir.. what is happening here? madam, we are suspicious.. ..that ambu sir is responsible for inspector shinde's death. who said that he is responsible? -according to the evidence he is the culprit. inspector sir, you cannot make enquiry against my mla. ask your seniors to talk to me. now you can go. but madam.. -please. ambu, why are you making haste? he was your brother but was everything to me. i will not spare the ones who killed him. tomorrow party will make announcement to make me central minister. -everything is happening. you are an mla. your every mistake will bring disgrace to the party. where were you when kodi was killed? that day our posters had been printed in the city.. -..and i was.. i was very angry. and i met him and then.. where were you when kodi was killed? just like this. -i continuously asked him questions. he hit me and i left. i just asked that where were you. hey kodi, you are doubting sister-in-law. hey, is he kodi? -is he kodi? if he was my kodi then he wouldn't have doubted me. that day kodi called me asked me to meet him. that day there was a lot of tension. i did not go. -i wish i had gone there then he would have been alive today. and you would not question me like this. sister-in-law? what did you do ambu? why did you hurt sister-in-law by asking such questions? -it was necessary. when i had gone to meet inspector he was dead. when i checked his phone i came to know.. ..that he had many calls on one number. believe me i have nothing to do with kodi's murder. -after i was thrown out of the party i went to goa. inspector shinde called me there. he said that he has proof against me to get kodi murdered. he started blackmailing me and took lakhs of rupees. i am saying the truth that.. -..i have nothing to do with your brother's murder. i had sent goons but kodi thrashed them and they escaped. if you do not believe me then ask rudra.. ..she was present there at that time. what is happening to you, brother? -you doubt sister-in-law on what he is saying. tomorrow we will come to know the truth. welcome all here. it is good news that our dear rudra.. ..will take an oath of central minister in two days. -so to celebrate this and making our party's message reach every nook.. ..and corner i have selected 7 capable people.. ..from every district of the state. and these 7 capable people will get a party badge from respected rudra. so i request madam to please come here. -what happened? it seemed that not 7 people but you have seen 7 devils. you are perspiring, your eyes are sunken and your hands are shaking. aren't you happy on addition of new members to the party? i do not know who has killed kodi and what your connection with them is. -but i am sure you are hiding something from me. the truth is like a child and is scared of darkness. but it does come into light sometime. and the day it happens it would be.. ..the last day of the murderer of my brother. -i felt as if kodi is standing in front of me. i have lost many things in politics.. ..but to lose kodi was the biggest blow to me. i will help you to find kodi's killer. even if i have to give away my life for that. -he is finding the murderer of his brother like mad. and you are sitting quietly. you keep on crying every time. tomorrow is the final hearing in the court. have you forgotten? -all the proofs that court wants of mercury factory.. ..case are present in this file. whatever may happen but that file should not reach the court. they will try their best that this file does not reach court. but we have to present this in court at all costs. -not only proofs but you have to finish ambu as well. brother, he is not going to court but somewhere else. i am following him. keep a watch on her. follow her like a shadow. -brother, we are following her. that means ambu is going to court so he must be having the file. rudra had said that she will manage everything. so what is she doing now? next time if he doubts sister-in-law then i will not talk to him. -i will eat food and leave. eat food comfortably. he is calling. tell me kodi. i am going to coimbatore for the hearing of the court. -you just take care of mother. whatever may happen do not go out of the house. be alert from everyone. especially rudra. understood. -okay. what has happened to him? he is just after sister-in-law. mother, tomorrow i will become minister.. ..so have come to take our blessings. -where is bhagat, mother? you were saying that she is going to marry kodi. kodi.. what has happened? has he got hurt? -take him to the side and make him drink water. bring the file if you want to see your mother alive. kamal, he does not have any file. where is the file? we had asked you to get the file. -where is my mother? bring her in front of me first. you did not bring the file.. ..and on top of that you are trying to be smart. hit him. -don't leave him. where are you going? so you were fed up of thinking who killed your brother. i killed him. i pierced the knife through him. -kodi.. he stood against e and died. similarly you will die today. now i cannot understand that is he kodi or ambu? i thought you knew who killed kodi. -but did not know that you killed him. no son ambu, she must not have killed kodi. kodi must have sacrificed his life to save her life. now by killing her do not waste his sacrifice. even after getting post when he is not at peace.. -..and is lonely then she will value the presence of kodi. let's go ambu. why sister-in-law? why did you do this? kodi was everything to me. -my father, mother, my family. and above all he was my friend. i wanted you both to stay together all your life. but you shattered all my dreams. but now i will send you to kodi. -you have no right to live. kodi. i opened the cafe with my friend boo. yeah, she's dead now. my sister. -i have two degrees, a husband and a burberry coat. i know what you were doing. i was watching the news. heard from dad? nope. -all right, dad? dad's way of coping with two motherless daughters was to buy us tickets to feminist lectures, start fucking our godmother and eventually stop calling. it's very valuable, actually. how much? thousands. -can i have it? no. please don't contact me or turn up at my house drunk in your underwear. it won't work this time. it will. -music: sail by awolnation i think my period's coming. ok. hi. -are you all right? what's happened? are you hurt? no. oh, good. -nice haircut. it's better. can i come in? why didn't you text? well, i just thought i'd pop by. -tell the truth. i need to speak to martin. martin? martin. martin! -why on earth would you want to speak to... martin? hello! hello! my wife in my study! -hello! give me two. gang bangs, asian, i'd put a tenner on it. finished. well, hello, you. -he chuckles she wants to talk to you about something. oh, well, it must be my lucky day. you said she only likes to talk to people she fancies. ergh. -can you leave us? why? he's organising your surprise birthday party. a... you know i hate sur... -ok. i have a week to organise that now. best of luck. nice top. ergh. -thanks. do you deal in sculptures as well as paintings and papier mache?

-i brought it with me. no, you didn't. give it back. tight. patch things up with harry? -yeah, we're, erm... we're engaged, so... god! what? no, we're not engaged! -no, he's back at the flat packing up all his stuff again. oh. i'm sorry. he really... ..used to make you laugh. he also used to say things like... -you're not like other girls. you can... ..keep up. i like harry. i liked his songs. i admire how much harry commits to our break-ups. -i mean, this is a new detail, but he does usually go the extra mile. a few times, he's even cleaned the whole flat. he sobs like it's a crime scene. i've considered timing a break-up for when the flat needs a bit of a going over. -music plays i don't think this is working. what? but he always leaves... ..him to come back for. -got to think about all the people i can have sex with now. i'm not obsessed with sex, i just can't stop thinking about it. the performance of it. the awkwardness of it. -the drama of it. the moment you realise someone wants your body. not so much the feeling of it. probably got about 48 hours before harry comes back. i should get on it. -i took half an hour trying to look nice and i ended up looking amazing. just one of those days. gorgeous, fresh-faced, new top, little bit sexy, on my way to open my cafe and... oh, god. yeah, you check me out, chub-chub, because it's never gonna happen. -oh, god, he can't believe how attractive i am. kind of worried i'm going to make a sex offender out of the poor guy. here we go. this better be good. here we go. -he coughs: hooker slag. bell rings oi! oh. dropped my cucumber. -just dropped my... erm... could i get a cheese sandwich to go, please?

probably not. so don't i get points for initiative? fellatio alger. you want me to suck your dick? -well, i'd be lying if i said the thought hadn't crossed my mind, but no. then how the fuck do i get ahead? work with julie. get the band ready. set up a showcase sometime next week. -how many songs? talk to julie. thank you, richie. thank you. i promise you won't be sorry. -there is one thing you can do for me. he's out of control, man. let's go. go. just move it, schmuck. -just go for a walk. let's go. i'll fucking kill him. get the fuck off of me. what's up? -just keep smiling and looking at this album. there's something i need to tell you. okay. what it is? you ever rat me out again to richie, -i'll kick you in the fucking cunt. hello? is this the home of richard a. finestra?

we have other stuff, right? -we have the barbecued ribs. tell me about the windsor plan. well, that's our premier package. the windsor boasts a dozen appetizer choices served at various stations. the swedish meatballs, teriyaki satay, spinach quiche, what have you. -that's at this price. what's wrong with passed hors d'oeuvres? as for the entrees, we do a choice of herb-encrusted salmon, prime rib au jus, lamb chops or a chicken francese. all for this price. in terms of liquor, it's top-shelf all the way. -smirnoff, tanqueray, chivas, et cetera. open bar per person we're looking at that. that's 400 people. you're the one that invited half the record industry. i know you're in the business, but our house band, -karisma, you're hearing them over the speakers. you won't do better anywhere. that's what we're looking at. less tax and gratuity. i paid less money for our first house. -please, daddy?

jesus. you okay? yeah, i'm fine. i mean, i'm a little shaken as you can imagine, but... -sweetie, i need to talk to detective... voehel. what's this about? i just need a few minutes. it's fine. -i want to know what's going on. richie, you're trembling. okay. i'm fine. i understand you were at one time a partner of morris gold's? -what? maury gold. rondelay records? yeah, right. yeah, of course. -we have reason to believe that mr. gold is an associate of corrado galasso. i'm sure if you read the "new york post," you've heard of him. yeah, no, yeah. he's supposed to be like the godfather or something, right? jimmy porter. -that name ring a bell? low-level bookie, loan shark. mr. gold owed him a great deal of money. what's that got to do with me? mr. porter was found murdered. -and your name was in his address book. whoa, look, i mean, i used to bet football on the weekends, but... tell me anything about his relationship with mr. gold? me? no. -no. i have no idea. it's looking, far as we can tell, that mr. galasso settled mr. gold's debt by putting three bullets into jimmy porter's head. i understand your reluctance, but if there's anything you think might be helpful... okay. -you been checked out by a doctor? your head's bleeding. uh, yeah. thank you. i'm gonna do that, yeah. -i'll show myself out. you all right? i need a drink. you need to go to a meeting. i need a drink, god damn it! -baby, please, don't fucking do this. okay?

do not chastise him. he saw my work. -his response is authentic. perhaps it should be etched in the wall above the images. see? "fucking depressing." quite a foursome. -andy will be jealous. he's right. you have a rival. devon, hi. andy. -who's this? this is richie. devon's boyfriend. oh, your boyfriend. that's so sweet. -great to meet you, man. really, it's an honor. oh, why? your work. you're an incredible artist. -i'm a big fan. i don't do anything anymore. ernst is a great artist, though. richie finds my work depressing. oh, well, richie's a smarty, huh? -you look so pretty tonight. call me pretty again, i'll bite your nose off. does she scare you? terrifies me. yeah, well, i wish you'd let me film you. -she never lets me. because he just wants me to sit there and keep my mouth shut. it's a screen test, dear, so i can make her a superstar. come on, let me watch them all get jealous. okay. -she's doing it for him and not for me. kind of ruins it. what are you laughing about? come on. okay. -we're gonna film you now. you have to be quiet. think you can do that? i hate you. i know. -i feel it. stop! stop! stop it! whoa, whoa. -stop. what'd you do with the money? what money? the money your mother gave you for singing lessons. i thought that sounded pretty good. -this is the band richie wants to see? uh-huh. he liked their demo. did he hear it before or after he started using again? very funny. -it's not funny. they're horrible. they can't play. i couldn't understand a word of their lyrics. and the singer smells like ammonia. -richie thinks they have something and i do, too. oh, you do? mm-hmm. well, after 20 years in this job, i must be wrong. all right, fellas. -listen up. first and foremost, when you're in a band, it's supposed to sound like you're all playing the same song at the same time. okay? what i just heard sounded like five dogs with their cocks caught in a lawn mower. well, i thought it sounded great. -i'm sorry, what was your job again? i am just trying... there's a bodega on the corner. go get me a coffee, black. anybody else? -no? good. and devil dogs. go. now. -bye. where was i? you were just telling us how much we suck. right, but it's my job to help you suck less. i trust you're familiar with the kinks. -is this a bloody joke? that's up to you. "all day and all of the night." i want you to learn it. for what? to play it for richie finestra. -you'll do that plus two originals. do the bloody kinks? why that song? because the vocals are in a range he can handle and it's got a chord structure a monkey could play. f-g, g-f, -f-b-flat, g. i mean, the kinks are all right, but that's just not who we are. no shit. but who you are ain't getting signed. fuck. -so what do you think? i don't know, man. come on, man, who are you kidding? do it. just do it. -all right, fine. you all right? i can't breathe through my nose. well, prop up a pillow or something. this idiot who rear-ended you, did he have insurance? -yeah, he did. we exchanged information, so... was he a colored? what? no. -why? 'cause most of them are uninsured. he was white. he was... i don't know. -he had a german-sounding name. and the doctor bill, he'll take care of that? i mean, it's got to be a pretty penny. i went to merv's, honey. he's not gonna charge me. -wonderful. now i can hear from your sister all through rosh hashanah what a prince her husband is. okay, and then if he would have charged me, you'd be complaining about that. who's complaining? i mean, you do realize the rates will go up, right? -with the insurance. what? the car. doesn't matter if he hit you. they'll raise the rates just the same. -okay, all right. i'll call the broker in the morning. what's he gonna do? the broker doesn't make the rules. then i won't call him. -what do you want me to say? who asked you to say anything? you're peeing again? i can't sleep. well, don't make a racket. -david's playing nathan detroit in the camp sing-along tomorrow. i swear... come on, let's go to bed. baby, no, i got... i just want to go to sleep. -ernst. she can't. aw! why?

-i don't know, i just figured you went to, like, cotillions or something. you are not going back to virginia. oh. i'll die here without you. what? -i don't know. it's just now when i walk down the street, i feel like i'm gonna get stabbed or something. dev. i know it's irrational. -it is not irrational. the city is a hostile environment. i can see it makes you feel vulnerable. before, you were invincible. stop speaking. -if you're worried about it, we can move to the upper east side. you hate it up there. long island, westchester. he's right. we should get a house with a fucking pond. -and fish. what about her work? it's not mars. i mean, i can take the train in for auditions. that's it. -i'm gonna get you the biggest fucking house with a pond in america. huh? look what you've done. i'm gonna bake bread. i'm gonna braid my armpit hair. -you're turning me on. give me a hit of that armpit. come on. no... we got to talk. -it's just so strange. i've never seen anything like it. hey, guys. what are you looking at? whoa. -what is axl doing? i think he's frolicking. oh, my god! is that what love looks like? why you asking us? -hey, brick, got a haircut. ah, it's not my choice. i did it for cindy. the heart wants what it wants, and apparently it wants vintage brick. so, what's up, honey? -you escaping your gross dorm room for the comforts of home? that's a sad state of affairs. yeah. we have a bit of a mold issue. lexie's dad flew her to barbados for the weekend. -plus i'm still 20% scared of ghosts. i'll be right back, babe! i ache when i'm not with you. knit hats, let's go. april thinks it'd be cute if we're both wearing them. -um, i'll have to check if i have any. how do you not know if you have knit hats? oh, god, you are so unorganized! dad, you got to stop being so scared of mom and tell her to get a basket of knit hats. what are you looking at, frodo? -that seemed harsher than normal. now, look, brick, halloween is right around the corner. so if there's anything you need fashioned out of feathers, tell me now so i can give nancy donahue some lead time. actually, now that i'm in high school, it's more about parties than trick-or-treating. oh, you're going to a party, huh? -negative, but troy, cindy, and i are planning on standing on the periphery of one and hoping to be invited in by a parent. hi, i'm april. yeah, we know. looks like you guys were having fun out there. this is my favorite time of year. -the end of fall, right before autumn begins. mm. oh, babe, the little girls' room is right down the hall. okay. first door on the left. -don't be gone too long now. do we not have any cocoa? god. ooh, i would love a cup of cocoa. dogs can't eat chocolate! -oh, my god. is this you when you were little? way to go, mom. thanks for leaving photos on the wall! who does that? -! okay, it's not fair that he's so nice to her and so mean to us. yeah, what is going on? he was getting nicer. he let me stay in his room. -he was inviting me to parties. and now he's all, "dogs can't have chocolate!" and yesterday he called me a horse, which isn't the worst thing, except he also did this. i know what's going on. the kid's got a certain amount of snark that's got to come out, and since he's with april 24/7, it's got nowhere to go. -it's... it's like a plugged-up hose. the water's gonna come out somewhere. so what, we're just supposed to sit back and get bullied? well, that's what i usually do, but i thought you guys would have other options. -the guy's in love. let's give it a couple weeks. if he starts saying that i'm scared of mom again, i'll put the hammer down. hey, brick. -just kind of looking for a quiet place to study. hmm. you know, it's funny. i gave you my room for the summer. poof! -summer's gone. where does the time go? well, it's always summer somewhere. i guess, but summer in orson... definitely over. -is it, though? 'cause we're kind of having an indian summer. according to axl's girlfriend, it's fall and almost autumn. but you're only here for the weekend. true, but i'll be needing my room at thanksgiving, and that is right around the corner. -not "right around" the corner, and thanksgiving is really more about being together with family. it's also about me spending time in my room. plus, turkey has a lot of tryptophan, so that's gonna make me tired and i'm gonna want to sleep in my bed, which is in my room. have they really proven the tryptophan thing? yeah, brick. -it's pretty proven. well, we can go back and forth on this all day. it's my room, brick. you've made some very excellent points. it's a lot to chew on. -what are you doing? axl. axl! a... oh! -babe! got that for you. oh, you guys gonna carve pumpkins? how'd you connect those dots? it's just that you never really seemed interested in doing that before. -when have you ever asked me to carve pumpkins? hmm, let me think. uh, every halloween since you were 5, and a couple of christmases when we still had pumpkins lying around. hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! are those my magazines? -oh, no, no, no! don't wreck anything with a royal on the cover. those are collector's items. oh, and look. it's the special shakeups and breakups issue. -i never got to read this 'cause it was right when brick was born and he was colicky. i believe that was the ferguson baby who was colicky. brad pitt was married to jennifer aniston? oh, yes, they were hollywood's golden couple, and they just couldn't make it work. oh. -yeah, says here he wanted kids and she didn't. yep. probably a good thing they didn't have kids. how would they decide which parent to go with? you got to go with pitt. -i mean, he was thor. mm, that was chris hemsworth. he's dreamy. what if mom and dad got a divorce? who would we go with? -dad. dad. dad. okay, it's not so much that you all said dad. it's the swiftness with which you said it. -why don't you just take a minute and think about it before you answer? dad. dad. dad. okay, then. -it's nothing personal. i just think dad would need me more. i don't think he could survive without a woman in his life. actually, now that i think about it, i wouldn't go with dad. thank you, brick. -i'd go with axl and april. she smells really nice. i just finished a life saver. well, listen, it's okay. i get it. -nobody wants to live with the big mean mom monster. 'cause we're always like, "brush your teeth! do your homework! flush!" yeah. -i guess that's just the way it's always been. moms always get the raw end of the deal, right, april? i'd definitely go with my mom. we're best friends. aww. -well, this is a fun conversation. no, that's what i love about my family. we can just be who we are and razz each other. we're a family of razzers. it's funny, 'cause we'd never get divorced anyway. -i mean, neither of us would have an affair. we're too tired. am i right? no, seriously, i'm fine. it's not like we're asking you guys to say which one of us you love more. -you don't have to answer that! no, no, no. i miss you more. well, i was dreaming about you and i woke up missing you. ugh. -oh. babe, i got to go. my service animal's awake. aah! okay, you know what? -no! i do not care if you are a plugged-up hose. you cannot treat me this way, and neither can brick! i want my room back! may i help you? -w-what is this? i've added some new security measures. santiago and i didn't feel safe. tina. i don't know who that is. -tina is the name i gave my bedroom, and i want her back! there's no need for you to raise your voice. here's the dealio, brick. my room at school stinks. axl's room stinks. -i need a sanctuary. when i am a working actress living half the year in hollywood and the other half on broadway, then you can have it, but not until then. i was maybe gonna let you use it if i do a semester abroad in houston, but now we'll have to see. sue, here's the thing about santiago. tina. -i didn't expect santiago and i to get so close. ugh! i gave you my room as a not mother's day gift out of the goodness of my heart, but now i want it back. no. i need it back. -and i would hope that as my brother, you would understand that. your words are moving. but i'm not. okay, fine, brick. i don't need a sanctuary. -i have a sanctuary in here. and just so you know, you are not gonna be visiting me on broadway or in hollywood. maybe houston. i'd really like the whole family to see that because they have a nice harbor area. so, i'm gonna stop and pick up some toilet paper at cvs, unless you're gonna grab some from work. -no, i think they're onto me, so i'm gonna lay low for a while. oh, and i'm still mad at you about that whole divorce thing the other day. where did that come from? you said we needed toilet paper, which reminded me of the bathroom, which reminded me of my magazine, which reminded me how mad i am. what are you mad at me for? -i didn't say anything. yeah, exactly. you didn't say anything. you just sat there quietly soaking up all our kids' love. come on. -that was like two days ago. yeah, i know, but i couldn't get mad in front of april. i don't want her to see our dirty laundry. our actual dirty laundry was on the counter. whatever. -i wanted to tell you how mad i was, but i forgot. come on, frankie. there's not enough to be mad about now? you got to go digging in the past? it was a stupid little argument. -i'm not mad, i'm hurt. kind of hard to tell the difference. okay, fine. i'm mad. and i know everybody was kidding about not wanting to live with me. -i wasn't. axl, that's mean. mom, if it makes you feel any better, i'd live with you. no, it doesn't make me feel any better. i don't want your pity vote. -if i'm not your first choice, forget it. conversation over. although i'd love to know what's so great about this guy. well, he's not yelling at us at 9:30 in the morning. i think what a... -axl is trying to say is you can get a little excitable. what do you mean i get excitable? i don't get excitable. am i excitable now? how can i put this? -you're a strong cup of coffee. so, you want to live with him? he's boring! i bring vim and verve to this family. i'm like a three-ring circus compared to this guy. -he's like watching a jerry lewis movie and skipping through all the jerry lewis parts. who? who? who? forget it. -geez. although i want to know why all of you guys think it would be so hard to live with me. i don't know. you honk a lot. you're always saying, "what's the haps?" -and then there's your clapping. oh, yeah. totally. my clapping? what's wrong with my clapping? -it's got this really weird pitch to it, and it's really... loud. yeah, it's like you hate your hands. mm-hmm. that's why i didn't want to watch the finale of "the bachelor" with you. -so, i'm just the annoying mom who claps too loud and is excitable. why don't you start making a list of all the things you don't like about me? don't start a list. okay, you guys, maybe we should all just live with mom. i got to stay with dad. -he's the one who would keep the house and i'm really starting to like your room. why does dad get to keep the house? well, he's got all the kids. mm-hmm. look, this whole conversation is pointless because nobody's getting divorced. -don't be so sure. you know why they want to live with you. 'cause they know nothing about you. huh. no, i'm serious. -what do we really know about him? hmm? once a week he eats sardines on crackers and he likes the colts. don't you see what's happening here? he's winning because he's silent. -he's a statue. i'm the one who tells him, "go talk to your son. see how your daughter likes college." he's a puppet. i'm just sticking my hand up there and making him talk. -i'm wayland flowers and he's madame. who? who? who? the ventriloquist on the "hollywood squares." -what's "hollywood squares"? what's a ventriloquist? okay, i'm the one who's always done everything for you. i wiped your noses. i wiped your butts. -you know what? go ahead. you want to live with your dad, live with your dad. but guess what. he doesn't like to shop, so all that stuff you're eating right there, -i'm just gonna take it away. yep. that's right. this is what it's like living with your dad. sardines and silence. -so, that's what you guys want, well, then you can be... april. hey. just serving the family breakfast. kind of a monday morning tradition. -here you go. here you go, sweetheart. so, yeah, you know, moms are abused. but the best that you can do is role-model good behavior and just kill them with kindness. hey, axl. -nice costume. what are you, an oldtimey army captain? i'm prince charming. god. or i could just kill 'em. -so, you and april going to a party or something? well, i wanted to go to a party, but april thought it'd be fun to dress up and hand out candy to kids, so i'm doing that 'cause when you love someone, you're nice to them. god. move, mom! hey, brick. -going out tonight, huh? are you gonna be out, like, the whole night? uh... no. actually, i'm not. really? -you're not going trick-or-treating? no, ma'am. then why are you dressed like a bowling pin? no reason. huh. -seems like an odd choice of wardrobe just for hanging out. well, the rest of my clothes are in the laundry. that is a very plausible story. it's why i said it. okay, then. -i am going to take out the trash because everything makes sense here. yeah. aah! open this door! what the hell is going on in here? -brick stole tina. he won't give it back... she's going back to college anyway. ...and he said the summer's not over and he's wrong! hey! -that's it. everyone's going back to their original rooms. and no more naming things that shouldn't have names. the name of this room is room! frankie! -you're not gonna believe what these numbnuts did. dad, if you'll just listen to me, it is not my fault! she knocked me over with a basketball! i don't want to hear it! -mom, it is not fair. i gave brick my room, and now i have a broken door and a hole in the wall! i'm sorry i did that, sue, and maybe i held onto your room too long. but you know what? at least you have a room. -i don't have anything of my own. no baby pictures, clothes from the cousin box. i don't even have a chair at the dinner table. none of you have walked in my shoes. i don't even walk in my shoes! -i walk in cousin jared's shoes. i don't know why you guys are telling me this. you should tell the guy you chose to live with. what? i'm just saying, you're only gonna see me on weekends and every other christmas, so you better get used to it. -oh, my god. is she really still talking about this hypothetical divorce? yes, she is. i was really hurt. you know, when your kids are teenagers, everyone says, "oh, don't worry. -when they get older, they will appreciate you and be thankful for everything that you do for them." well, you are older. and it just hit me that that's never gonna happen. you know, that divorce might've been hypothetical, but my feelings are very real, and if hurting my feelings was what you were trying to do, well, congratulations on a job well done. ooh. -aah. are you freaking kidding me? ! you people are gonna sit there and try to make me feel crappy about myself? ! -hi! hey, april! we're just doing our halloween thang. no, you know what? if you're gonna be hanging around here, you should hear this, too, because i am through being this family's punching bag! -and i am sorry if i have an annoying clap, and i am sorry that i like dancing to the "law order" theme, or that i'm not good at fast-forwarding with the remote. but guess what. i am done defending myself. if you're all so perfect, you can have each other. take a last look at this annoying, clapping mom that nobody wants to live with, 'cause i am storming out! -trick or treat! ooh, aren't you cute. oh, look a pirate. shiver me timbers. storming out! -as far as storming out goes, i picked a pretty good night to do it. i followed a kid with a hole in his candy sack. i was able to prevent some wayward teens from going down the wrong path. and to cap it all off, i popped by nancy donahue's -bible-themed haunted house. oh, that apple does look good. but i just don't know. all ye! ignore the temptation. -come, walk on the water with me. frankie, there's caramel apples and halloween-themed doughnuts in the backyard next to the pits of hellfire pit. oh, great. but all good things must come to an end, and it was time to go home to my actual haunted house. crap. -hey, april. you hitting the road? no, i'm just going home. oh. are you okay? -oh. yeah. just another night at the heck house. it's what we do. well, i felt really bad for you, so i told axl he should be nicer. -i mean, we only have one mom, and moms are pretty great. aww. thank you, april. don't tell axl i said that. i mean, he knows the part that i told him because i said it to him, but he doesn't know that i'm telling you about the part that i told him. -got it. okay, i should get going. yeah, you better get home by midnight or your car might turn into a pumpkin. oh, my gosh, why? it's just that you're wearing the... -you know what? it's late. good night, april. look what the cat dragged in. ha, ha. -just for the record, i did go out looking for you. i was following a trail of tootsie roll wrappers, but i lost you in some high grass. what am i doing wrong? that sounds like a morning question. no, seriously. -why do all the kids want to go with you? frankie, it doesn't matter. here's the thing. i wouldn't take them anyway. i guess when it comes right down to it, we're not like celebrities. -we can't leave each other. we don't have enough options. besides, it's so much easier to split up $50 million than $50. and then, of course, there's the whole love thing. all right. -right this way. then you're gonna take a sharp right. and a sharp left. couple more paces. all right, so we've all been talking, and we decided you deserved this. -my own chair? and it's just like everyone else's! welcome to the family! i've been waiting 14 years to hear that. how'd you get the exact same one? -i was looking for the receipt to see where we bought the other chairs, and i found that one under a pile of crap in the basement. oh. aww, see? this is why we stay together. hey, i would never leave you. -what do you mean you wouldn't leave me? if anybody's doing anything leaving, i'm leaving you. i don't know. i don't really see mom leaving dad. hey, if the woman wants to leave me, let her leave me. -okay, see, that's not nice. i bet mom would probably never say something like that. i think we should reconsider moving in with mom. no, we all have to stay together. i have a chair. -aww. that's a good point. mm-hmm. thank you, guys. that looks good. -say "chair". smurf didn't set the fire. she made pope do it. is this when ask me to turn against the father of my kid? yes. -everything you told me, the ins and outs of the base, you're not just in, you made it happen. if there is money in that car when i get it back, i will throw it in the base incinerator. i did coke with craig. and then i... him. -anything good, they destroy. they use everyone. j, i think it's time we call that detective. ready? yeah. -just don't screw up this time. hey, fellas. where are you headed, sir? paintball park. did you preregister? -yeah, online. pop the back, please, sir. yep, you bet. do you know where you're going, sir? absolutely. -thank you, mr. grady. yeah. have fun. oh, you better believe it. she tracks my phone. -she tracks all of us. hey, j... it's gonna be okay. you can trust this detective. yeah, no, i'm not gonna tell her everything. and you shouldn't. -no, don't tell them anything that might implicate you. okay? look, this is the right thing to do... for you, for me, for everyone. i promise. okay? -hello, josh. we're gonna be extra nice to grandma smurf today, okay? okay. okay. smurf? -in here! anything? mwah! it's a very brave thing you're doing, josh. they hurt people, josh. -a lot of people. you know that, don't you? alexa tells me you have reason to believe your grandmother and your uncles might be planning another crime. is that true? they're my family. -no. they're not. they don't care about you. do they ever do anything to help you or your mother when she was struggling? make sure you were safe? -had enough to eat? a place to sleep? were they there for you, ever? if smurf had to choose, do you honestly think she would hesitate to throw you to the wolves if it meant protecting one of your uncles? you're expendable, josh. -and you know it. you're like the colt who can't keep up with the herd when the wolves arrive. and the wolves are circling, josh. are you baking today? of course i am. -it's tradition. the boys expect it when they get back. god, i hate this part... the waiting. yeah, well... no news is good news. -yeah. smurf, i know that we don't always see things the same way. but i think... for whatever reason that's happened in the past, it would be a good thing if we could put that behind us, start over. is that supposed to be an apology, sweetheart? sure. -baz put you up to it? no. okay. i'll accept your apology. i got to go to the bathroom. -you went just like this with your whole face, right into the cake, no hands? did you have icing all over you face? yeah, and in my hair. mommy got mad. i bet she did. -you know, sometimes mommies get so mad they ruin the fun. she got mad when i played with the siren, too. the siren? played with a siren? mommy's friend's car has a siren. -oh. i was supposed to make the big light go, but i accidentally hit the siren. it was really loud. it must have been. i'm not supposed to tell daddy. -no? let me guess. your mom's friend, is he a... fireman? no, he's a policeman. he lets me sit in his police car. -so much fun for you! you lucky girl. ooh. that grilled cheese looks so good. you want some more potato chips, baby? -did you thank your grandmother? what are you guys doing? talking. we're in. okay. -holy shit. let's go. you ever see any cash in the house? yes. guns? -any idea how much cash? no. drugs? they don't sell drugs. but they use drugs. -i mean, that must have been hard after your mother's overdose. so your uncles all participated in the bank robbery your uncle pope went to prison for. josh? look, i heard them talking. they were all there. -and why are you concerned about your girlfriend and her father? i'm not concerned about nicky, and she's not my girlfriend. we broke up. did you overhear something? are they... -are they in danger? nicky slept with my uncle. who? pope? no, craig. -okay, and now you're concerned for her and her father because craig's going to harm them? no. tell me about baz and pope and smurf. did they tell you what they're planning next? no, they don't really talk when i'm around. -you came here to me, to alexa, because you're afraid. i can keep you safe. i can keep them from hurting you. alexa says you're a smart kid, josh. are you smart enough to know who your real friends are? -are you smart enough to know that we are your best, maybe your only way out of this? are you that smart, j? are you? bye. bye! -bye, sweetie! you go first. love you, lena. visitors. four jarheads in a truck. -looks like they're coming in. okay, we're clear. give me the rest of the dummies. put it in. go. -put it in. the side, the side, the side. good. good. oh, shit! -hey, they're full. they're gonna overflow. there's room. no, no, no, bullshit. they're gonna overflow. -there's room. cardboard. hand me the cardboard. hey. hey, knife. -what the hell's taking so long? we know the other three were involved in the bank robbery. get the kid to testify, we can convict them. that's hearsay. they'll just say they were joking around. -and even if we could charge them, pope's already served time for the bank. he'd still be out on the street. so what? it's not like pope's gonna do anything without his brothers anyway. -i can get the kid to wear a wire, but it will take time. eh. he just doesn't trust us enough yet, but he knows he's in danger. what about the teacher? think he trusts her? -he's a teenage boy. he might just do it for pussy. jesus, you're not considering having her sleep with him, are you? we need him to wear a wire. do you really give a shit how she gets him to do it? -yeah, actually, i do. i mean, what is he, 17? she is an adult. she is facing a class one felony drug-trafficking charge. she will open her legs for a good-looking teenager if it means not doing 15 to 20. -come. whoa, whoa! what the hell are those? don't ask. you don't have to sleep with him. -just convince him you're the honey pot at the end of the rainbow. but only if he wears a wire. he's holding out on us. he knows more than he's saying. tell him... you'll be together after this is all over. -that you love him. he's not gonna believe that! he is a teenage boy. he'll believe whatever you tell him. your nightmare is almost over, alexa. -you've come this far. finish it, and you just walk away. it went okay. okay? it went fantastic! -whoo! yeah! no problems? no. pie? -apple. ice cream's in the freezer. yeah. yeah! where's baz? -he's taking first watch on the money. how much? didn't count it. $600 grand! and we left... 10 times that much just sitting there. -and we just walked away. i'm gonna fire up some monster bud, bro. come on, 'cause it ain't gonna last long. hold on, i'm coming, baby. i'm coming. -whoo! ice cream, ice cream. freezer. so baz's plan was solid, huh? yeah. -where's j? uh, i don't know. he left a few hours ago. he'll be back. we shouldn't be involving anyone outside of the family. -we've got a way bigger problem. they went to get us some dinner. they'll be back. they need more information, j. they know you're holding back. -i've told them everything i can. no, there's got to be something else you can tell them without incriminating yourself. your uncle pope... i mean, deran trying to drown you? no, you don't know them, alexa. -you don't know what they'll do to me. do to us, j. i'm in this with you. it's you and me now. oh! -i hadn't seen her in weeks, and then she shows up, steals 10 grand from behind the dryer, and disappears. she's talking to the cops, andrew. baby, i know you always loved her. but she's a user. she used me. -she uses you. we saved her from those bastards she called parents. we brought her into our family. but that girl, she only cared about herself. i watched her lead you on... promising you things. -but she was never honest. she was not honest with you or with any of us. she's betrayed you, andrew. she's betrayed you over and over, and now she's betraying your family. hey, paul, how are you? -is everything okay? no, i haven't seen nicky in a couple days, actually. what? but, um, you want to get a beer soon? i saw a '72 gto on, uh, craigslist -i was thinking about buying, and i want to get your opinion on it. yes, so i'm gonna give you a ring when work dies down a little bit. how about that? okay, buddy. idiot. -baz isn't back yet. i know. lena is sleeping already? yeah. yeah, she wasn't feeling well. -so i gave her some cough medicine to help her sleep. is she sick? there's this cold going around her school. i figure if she gets a good night's sleep, maybe she can beat it. are you leaving? -what? you stole money from smurf. that's ridiculous. she said i stole money from her? when? -she thinks you're talking to the police. why would she think that? lena told her, that's why. baz will be home soon. no, he won't. -he's out on the job till morning. there is a guy, he comes into the bar. you met him. he's a cop. lena likes him. -he lets her sit in his car. it's no big deal. you're in danger. i would never go to the police. i know. -i told smurf that. and did she believe you? no. of course she didn't. excuse me. -i haven't decided to leave yet. i'm scared. i need to be ready if i have to take lena and go. i'm afraid, andrew. afraid for lena. -i can see that smurf hates me. she wants me gone. she's trying to turn baz against me. you've always been there for me. always loved me. -i know that. i've always known that. it should have been you. me and you. we can still go away together. -take lena, start a new life. i'll go first. and then when it's safe, you can meet us. costa rica or belize. it's so beautiful there. -i love you. i love you, too. hey, josh, dig in. want some soda? hey, sorry we took so long. -traffic on pch was a bitch. the summer crowds are definitely back. so, what time will smurf be expecting you back home for dinner? no time in particular. why don't you give her a call, let her know where you are? -no, that's cool. she won't care. call her anyway, make sure. i turned my phone off. why? -so she won't know where i am. you don't think that's gonna make her suspicious? no, i took my sim out. that's how she tracks me. put the card back in. -what? put the card back in now, josh. what? missed calls. from who? -from smurf, who do you think? call her. hi, baby. where you been? i'm at a... -i'm at a friend's house. my phone ran out of battery. i just got a chance to charge it up. coming home? um, i was wondering if i could stay here tonight. -you know, we're... we're just hanging out, playing video games. might catch a movie later. is that... is that cool? sounds great. -yeah. enjoy yourself, and i'll see you in the morning. have fun. stay safe. love you. -yeah. okay. bye-bye. you okay? no. -j's been gone all day. and now he wants to sleep over at some friend's house. yeah, he's banging his teacher. what? yeah, it's her apartment. -looked her up on facebook. hot as shit. i'd be banging her, too. mommy? mommy? -hey. thanks. nothing? no, nothing. hasn't moved. -signal's still strong, though. how'd the night go? i was sitting in the front seat of a car all night. how do you think it went? call me when they start to move. -all right. get any sleep? i got some muffins, if you're hungry. no, thank you, i'm fine. officer fischer and i were talking, and we think you're not really telling us everything you know about your grandmother and your uncles. -that maybe you left out a detail or two. i've told you what i know. they don't say much in front of me. that so? look, they're careful. -they're real careful. i'm not wearing a wire. sure you will. no. i won't. -here's how this is gonna go down. you're gonna put on the wire, you're gonna go back to your grandmother's house, you're gonna find out what they're planning, when they're planning to do it. you're gonna come back to us, and we're gonna take them down. you know, it would be a real tragedy if smurf found out you were here all night, talking to us. how long before she sends one of your uncles to find you? -pope? or baz? craig? craig would probably bring deran along. he always does. -deran would be happy to help, from what you told us. maybe they'd be gentle about it, a single bullet to the back of the head. then again, maybe they won't. i hear uncle pope likes hammers and propane torches. enjoys it... the begging, the pain. -please, j. you can do this. you can. i know you can. it's the only way. -and then... after this, we will go far away from all of this, away from these people and this whole world. please. cath? hey. -hello? hey, babe. how's the dog-walking gig going? oh, great, babe. i got muffin here and delores, clancy, gizmo, and, of course, cody. -little guy. jeff, it's your first day, and you remembered every dog's name? oh, i don't know if that's their real names. it's just what i've been calling them. wow, jeff, you're really getting good at making up names. -um, jeff, i think someone might be here. oh, my god. i totally forgot. it's happening! jeff, listen carefully. -i'm going to get taken. he's here. i don't think he sees... there you are, hayley. fooled again by my decoy legs. -let's go. it's president's day! thanks, boys. the rest of the day's yours. aah! -in just 5 1/2 hours, we'll be at the historic home of our 20th president, james garfield. before you ask, james garfield is in no way related to garfield the cat. i know. i'm as surprised as you are. -but, dad, i was gonna go see "step up 6" today. ironically, of course. although i do love the dancing and the characters. but it's so lame. the stories are pretty awesome, too. -well, history's full of awesome stories. that's why every president's day, we visit a presidential museum. you've always loved it. you make me go. you used to put me on a leash. -hayley, as a husband and father, there are only a few things more important to me than family. the first is american history, followed by god, bald eagles, and all sports. go bazooka sharks! 'zooka sharks! you need to know history, especially now that you're old enough to vote for president. -oh, my god, you're gonna choose the president! listen carefully, hayley. i'll tell you who i'm voting for so you can vote for him, too. don't you mean her? kids, you're all here for one reason. -you signed up for the school newspaper so you wouldn't have to do a sport this semester. i got hurt last time. well, you ran your fastest, and you fell down. that would hurt anybody. here are your assignments. -o'brien, debate team. westbrook, student council. smith, football practice. uh, sir, i was actually hoping to cover the cheerleaders. i heard whoever reports on the cheerleaders gets their pick of the bottom row of the pyramid. -it's true, smith. the cheerleader beat guarantees dating a thick bottom-row beauty. but there's no way i'm assigning a rookie to report on the cheerleaders. but i don't know anything about football. just write what you see. -so, you're a reporter now. roger? don't call me roger. call me deep throat. what are you doing? -every reporter needs a deep throat, sonny. and i know things. i've seen things around this school. i have a story for you that'll turn you into a legend. i don't need a deep throat, roger. -i bought the jacket, steve. i'm doing this. in this room, we have many of president garfield's favorite things, but before you ask, we don't have any lasagna. i made a joke like that earlier. look, hayley, there's james garfield's personal teapot. -and his cooking pot. and his chamber pot! it's all one pot! isn't that fascinating? it's gross. -that's life in the 18-sizzles. now, here's a portrait of president garfield. i know what you're thinking. he's very handsome. if i weren't already married, i'd let this fella court me. -but i am married. happily so. to a doctor lawyer. who's that? that's charles guiteau, the psychopath who tracked president garfield down like a bloodhound and assassinated him. -guiteau was so crazy, he kept all his toenail clippings in a jar. here, you can have one. this stuff is gross and boring. oh, really? i want you to look me in the eye and tell me this shoe box of dusty beard combs is boring. -no, no! no, no! don't you dare disrespect president garfield by yawning in his library. look what you're doing! you're patient zero of this yawn outbreak! -oh, god! i'm infected! i'm going out on my own terms! i did it. i hurt myself. -oh, do you mind if i eat my lunch here? my husband makes me a tuna-fish sandwich every day, and i usually take it out to my car since the tuna's very fragrant. you don't have a husband. oh, man, look at stephanie over there. i am all about that bass. -peter's so lucky. no! focus! put all this energy into your reporting. just write what i see. -okay. what do i... w-what was that thing? ! oh, hayley, i can't believe you missed "step up 6." -it was totes on fleek, bruh! at one point, jenna was like, "shawty don't play that way," and brittney was like, "youse ain't nothin' but a skim-toast honey." really? -i'm so bummed i missed it. ugh, i wasted the whole day at the garfield museum. i got a hat. hayley, i know you think history is boring, but i found someone i bet can change your mind. james garfield! -greetings. take a load off, garfy. i'm klaus. i'm a bit of a favorite around here. so, who's this? -i am james abram garfield, 20th president and commander in chief of the 38 united states. oh. are you one of stan's friends? do you really expect us to believe that's james garfield? well, yes. -i took president garfield's beard comb from the museum, extracted dna from one of the hairs, then used the new c.i.a. re-genesis lab to "jurassic park" him back to life. but "jurassic park" wasn't real. it was a movie. sounds like somebody's been to trinidad but not tobego. w-why would you do this? -because you need to learn about history. and who's a better teacher than someone who is living history? how did you get the old-fashioned clothes? easy. i dug up his grave and put him in his funeral suit. -what? ! i'm kidding, hayley. i had garfield do it. there were thousands of worms in me! -"at the snap, jones busted through the tight end, squirting into the backfield and wrapping up the muscular quarterback from behind, pounding him hard deep into the ground before he could get it off. another tough sack." now, that is how you cover football practice. i can't wait to see what you do with your next assignment. great work, smith. -i just wrote what i saw. well, it's the most sensual piece of writing i've ever come across. and i've come across a lot of sensual writing. eh? -you forget a lot, right, that you're our principal? hey there. hey, hey. hey! you want the scoop? -not really. you've got a big story right in front of you, steve. you just have to figure it out for yourself. i'm afraid i can't say any more. you'll hear from me when the time is right. -i was supposed to get on that bus, but there was a lady with a chicken on there. what is this, like, guatemala? what the hell? leave your bird at home, lady. i can't really hear what you're saying! -ah, the united states treasury. there is so much history in this building. alexander hamilton established the national bank here. both events of equal importance. are you taking notes, hayley? -yeah, no. you see why you're here, president garfield? why don't you tell her about your famous bimetal monetary system. it was one of your great passions. only after women and billiards. -there's the kind of half-joke that inspired the comic strip. look! there's a penny press! good heavens! the pictures are moving! -that's a movie. it's where tweens go to get fingered. it's beautiful. yeah. wish we could go to a movie right now. -well, why don't we go? really? i assume it's better than listening to this muckamuck. so, as a mint worker, you must get chicks. no. -that's incredible to me. and you tell them you're a mint worker? of course. they must be noticing your face like i am. let's sneak away in that terrifying horseless carriage -we came in. let's do it. there's the exit. dear girl, you can read? ! -sit down, you skim-toast honey. you can't hang with the bang-bang boogies. oh, no, you can't, chicken head! nice try, chicken head! this... is... incredible! -oh, orange soda? yeah. this magical beverage is called orange soda? stop! stop the devil dancing and hop-hop music! -my fellow citizens, i present to you an innovation of magnificent import! it is called orange soda! not since the invention of the telegraph has this country encountered such ingenuity. is it a fruit, or is it drink? -! it's drink! no matter the answer, this artificial orange has bested the orange provided us by nature. this concoction i hold in my hand indicates the exact moment where man has triumphed over god! i hereby declare today orange soda day! -nice speech, chicken head! that was really beautiful. i gave a very similar speech when water went from brown to clear. "the students arrive with bulging purple veins, eager for release." "they study the supple curves of a parabola to find where the latus rectum is." -"during practice, they touch their counterparts lightly in the chest with only the tip." "the boys pump sweet jelly into the little triangle, careful not to overfill its delicate folds. now the hamantaschen is ready for passover." "cum laude." cum real laude. -um... is detention over? it's been an hour. fine, get back to class. but no more pointing out errors in the textbooks. you'll remember the alambo, and you'll like it. -shh. as long as we don't wake up my dad, he'll totally forget we ditched him in the morning. okay. i'll lie down, but i don't foresee sleep in my future. feels like there's a possum dancing on my heart. -it's just your body frantically trying to process 18 orange sodas. where have you two been? nowhere. everywhere! we saw "step up 6," we drank orange soda, we rode a subterranean boxcar! -shut up... mr. president. dad, we had a good time. i saw a polynesian! no! -no, no, no! this is unacceptable! the only reason i brought you to life was to teach hayley history, but you're useless! don't yell at him, dad. i-i don't know how to get this through your head, but i don't care about history. -and in case you're wondering, this is the first president's day i have ever enjoyed. you know, in fact, i would rather spend any day with him than with you. as we used to say in the 1800s, awkward. circulation is up, and the princeton review just named us -"horniest school in the greater langley area." smith, the cheerleaders are yours. finally! now, if you'll excuse me, i've been so consumed with my duties here at the paper that i've completely forgotten to feed the janitors. -hey, have you seen garfield? oh, your dad's friend? they went to the c.i.a. stan said something like "i'm gonna turn him back into proteins." -what? ! yeah. and then he said "are you even listening to me, francine? i'm worried about us. -i feel like we've been drifting apart." i'm getting better at his voice, right? the key is really listening. stan, what is all this about? why are you being such a muckamuck? -if you're not gonna teach history, you're gonna be history. may i at least have one final sip of orange soda? fine. aah! i shook them in the car earlier! -that was from an hour ago. didn't even stop when i yelled, "stop." it's like when i'm trying to watch fallon and my wife won't stop banging me. garfield doesn't deserve to be killed. god, we were just having fun. -i need to find him before my dad does. good luck tracking that guy down. he's clever. he threw up a ton of orange stuff and then slipped right out of his straight jacket. there was someone who tracked garfield down. -like a bloodhound. and i have his toenail! has anyone seen a man with a beard? whoa. it's cool to have a beard now. -god, where could he be? i got an orange chai latte here. orange. wait a minute, everyone shut up! orange. -orange you glad i didn't say banana? he's at the banana soda factory! that closed years ago. that's right. okay, now i need complete silence, and i'm not kidding anymore. -you have an idea, don't you? it's okay, just say it. orange soda fac... orange soda factory! shut up! -i did it. okay, mr. guiteau. i know you're a presidential assassin, and from what i read on murderpedia, you're probably legally insane. i've not seen such bright lights since i came out the cervix! but i really need you to help me find my friend... -james garfield. garfield? he must see the devil's eye! all right, you horn dogs. gather round. -and let's hear what the shakespeare of soft-core student journalism has to say about the cheerleaders. all right, all right, all right! yeah! "the cheerleading squad took their talents to the south lakes invitational on friday night. they arrived in their warm-ups, although they already looked pretty hot." -clean up on aisle my stomach! "as they peeled off their sweatpants, the tournament happened, and it's my understanding they came in third." what? ! that's not sexy. -this thing isn't even al dente. i don't know what happened! i saw one high leg kick, and i passed out! boo! smith's a tease! -steve. did you paint a shadow on your face? i was dressed up in blackface earlier. you're not the only one with stuff going on. looks like you finally figured out the story. -no, i didn't. i have no idea what's happening. you were the story, steve. you used all your pent-up sexual frustration to turn out the most elegant pornography this school has ever seen. but when you finally saw a little skin, it was too much for you, and you experienced what medical experts refer to as an "ejacu-faint." -that's when 100% of your blood is in your wiener. you're lucky to be alive, steve. and that's the real headline. nope. the real headline is you're fired. -looks like you're the second worst reporter out there named stephen a. smith. ahh. garfield! i'm taking you back to the lab. are you off your chump, sir? -i just tapped this 20-ton cylinder of orange soda. my president! aah! i must give you an eternal earth bath! hayley, what are you doing here? -let go of that man. but, dad, it's charles guiteau. if i let him go, he'll kill garfield. you remembered charles guiteau? i guess i did learn something about history. -i'm taking you to the lordy! aah! aah! hayley, no! baby girl! -you're okay! i think my arm is broken in sev... i was wrong. these president's day trips were never about history. they were about spending time with you, driving all over the map. -i'm embarrassed to say this, but i care more about you than the presidents. so, any chance we can let garfield live? why not? besides, at the rate he's drinking orange soda, he'll be dead in a month. it's so fizzy! -"step up 6" just came out, and there's already a "step up 7." isn't that great? do i need to know anything from the first six to get what's happening? oh, you turnt it up, young swag. you got to mupload that ish. -well, i think i'm caught up. did you hear that old man talkin' 'bout bein' on fleek? that's so last year. get with the times, muckamuck. woman: -from the very first moment, i felt danger there. who's out there? (distorted howl, shriek) oh! -my family was in danger and all i could do was watch. when you see something like this, a lot of crazy thoughts go through your head. woman: humans respond to fear in two simple ways: fight or flight. -(inhuman howling) _ our friends used to tease us that they didn't like socializing with matt and i because we were too perfect. they'd get in fights in the car on the way home from dinner with us because... we made them feel like they weren't as in love as matt and i were. i won a free yoga class at a work raffle. -i'm a pharmaceutical salesman. shelby was the teacher. i... pulled a hamstring and never took a yoga class again, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. things were going really well. we settled in los angeles-- the yoga capital of the world-- and... decided to start a family. -yeah, we found out that, uh, shelby was pregnant on the same day that i got promoted to west coast sales manager, so we decided to go out and celebrate both. (grunts) (screams) that was the worst night of our lives. no, no! matt: -it was a gang initiation. game of knockout. they had to pick a random person on the street, sneak up on 'em and... knock 'em out. help! yeah! -help! help! somebody, help us! shelby: i was in a trance in the waiting room. -if i lost matt... mrs. miller? is he okay? his orbital socket is broken. he will need surgery once the swelling goes down. -our bigger concern is he hasn't regained consciousness. well, i need to see him. if i'm with him, he'll wake up. i know it. (heart monitor beeping steadily) -i was right. as soon as we touched, he started waking up. that's just... that's just the kind of connection that we have. he was gonna be okay. but she wasn't. -she lost the baby. they don't know if it was the stress or-or, um, being pushed, but... (clears throat) ...well she... she lost the baby. the city just didn't feel safe anymore. we needed to get out. -i wanted to go east, to where i grew up. my sister lived there. my mom. it was home. it's, um, north carolina. -right near the ocean, but... but also full of the most gorgeous native forests. it was so quiet and wonderful and calm. i think we just both just realized that at the end of the day, we weren't city folks. shelby: we were in the woods, having fun. -(laughs) it was a perfect day, and we found ourselves in front of the most beautiful old farm house. it was three bedrooms. and two stories and a basement. they told us that it had been built in 1792. -it was in great shape. matt: it felt like it was meant to be. like the universe just wanted us to be there at that moment. i also thought "there's no way we can afford that house." -auctioneer: opening bid is $21,000. what is your bid? well, now, that includes the ten acres of forest around the house. but you can't build on it. -it's protected. that seems inexpensive. (laughs) what's wrong with the property? hurricanes. -you don't want this house. we bid $25,000. $26,000. do i hear 27? we bid $40,000. -it was almost all of our savings. it totally turned me on when he did that. going once. going twice. sold, $40,000. -(laughs) (truck door opens, closes) (engine struggling to start) oh, my... what did we just do? -baby, we just started over. shelby: i loved it. and i loved him, but from the very first moment i felt danger there. (engine starts) -matt: from the moment i walked into the house, i... i was home. i mean, i love the country life-- the fresh air, waking up to the sound of the birds singing. -if shelby felt any different, she didn't say anything out loud, but i sensed a-a reluctance. maybe she missed the city. maybe my wounds healed quicker. they were nothing compared to what she lost: a life inside of her. -(moaning) i love you. (inhuman howl in distance) (moaning) (howling continues) -what the hell was that? (loud pounding) shit! no, no, no... no, no, no, no. matt, please don't go. matt, please don't go down there. -just stay here, stay here. (howling continues) matt: at first i thought it was a... a raccoon or-or a bear. but a bear didn't do this. -(thump) who's there? who's out there? (howls) hey! -when you see something like that, a lot of crazy thoughts go through your head. you think, today, prejudice is not going to rear its ugly head. but... this is the south. they just got rid of the confederate flag. and with shelby and i being an interracial couple... (whispering): -matt! matt: this kind of hate is something that's always in the back of my mind. and then i thought of those hillbillies who lost the auction. wouldn't surprise me a bit if they were trying to scare us away with this kind of vandalism. -we ran away once, and... we weren't gonna be victims again. i had just finished 90 minutes of my practice, and i had fallen asleep during my shavasana, so... i wasn't quite right with the world. (hail rattling) (thunder) -ow! (clinking) hey. oh, hey. matt: -shelby was literally shaking... hey. you okay? ...when i got back from running errands in the little town a few miles away. honey, it-it's just a hailstorm. -i drove through it on the way home. i know what i saw. it wasn't ice. there were human teeth falling everywhere! weather 'round here does take some getting used to. -that's it. shelby: i felt pretty foolish. i mean, teeth don't fall from the sky. raleigh is only two hours away. -wakemed is one of the busiest hospitals in the state. if i land these accounts, i won't have to be gone so much. babe, i know what i signed up for. traveling salesmen travel. it's how we pay the bills. -all these renovations. even that ugly tie that you're wearing. (laughs) it's my lucky tie. hey, are you sure you're gonna be okay? -i can always cancel my trip. i'm a big girl. i'm gonna be fine. i'm gonna be fine! okay. -okay. (laughs) okay. well... it's good. -go. fine. shelby to tell you the truth, i was looking forward to some alone time. he was being so sweet and so patient, but... he was... hovering, extra protective, and i felt like -i was suffocating a little. so i wanted him to go. i felt like i needed the alone time. in a way, it felt normal. that's how things had always been for us. -he'd go away on business, and i'd miss him like crazy. and then, we'd have the best sex when he came back. i'd feel like... like nothing could tear us apart. and i knew that i was probably being silly. i just... -it takes time to settle into a new home, and i just needed to relax, and... (laughs) luckily, that's-that's what i do for a living. (inhales deeply) (exhales deeply) (wind whistling, creaking) -(sizzling) (shutter bangs loudly) oh! (loud, rhythmic clattering) (sighs) (wind whistling) -(laughs) (wood creaking) (echoing): is anyone there? hello? -hello? (sighs) (insects trilling and chirring) (water gently splashing) matt: -well, shelby called me, panicked, crying, saying she had been attacked. i was in raleigh, two hours away, but i made it home in half the time. where's shelby? is she all right? she's inside. -you her husband? your wife reported that she was assaulted and held underwater in the hot tub. she claimed to have struggled against her attackers. what do you mean, "claimed?" i found no evidence of footprints or marks on the deck or in the grounds around the hot tub. -she also said her attackers were dressed in old costumes holding pitchforks and torches. does she imbibe? i know exactly who did this. it's those zz top wannabes. they've been trying to scare us off since we bought this place. -i'll bet it's the polks. let me, uh, go have a talk with them. those guys keep to themselves, and they're, uh, not so easy to find. we need protection! get a gun. -what? ! that cop-- he wasn't gonna do a damn thing for us. i could tell by his manner, and his-his... his condescending attitude. -he said he'd file a report, but i knew it would just end up in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. was it those guys from the auction? (quietly): no. i don't... -i don't know. it's just what you told the cops didn't make a whole lot of sense there, shelby. i saw what i saw. they held you down... until they let you up? -shelby: i was really scared. i was choking on water. when i could finally see clearly, they were gone. i ran inside to call the police, then i called you. -(sighs) what? the cops said that they didn't find anything by the hot tub. no fingerprints, no torches. they must have come back for them. -i wasn't imagining things, matt. i wasn't. mm. do you think i'm lying to you? shelby, absolutely not. -no. i believe you 100%. shelby, no. i'm sorry. i believe you. -i believe you. i'm sorry. i believe you. (sighs) shelby: -i felt so guilty, because i couldn't tell matt the truth. i didn't want to live there. (wind chimes tinkling) (insects trilling) (inhuman howling) -(howling continues) (wind chimes tinkle) (gasps) matt: i decided not to tell shelby about what happened, but it was proof to me that that white trash gang was trying to scare us away. -(grunts softly) i had to be back in raleigh the next day, so, i set up security cameras all around the perimeter that were synced to my cell phone so i could keep an eye on the place from wherever i was. (crow cawing) not bad for an amateur. -but i was not going to leave shelby there alone. so i called my sister. shelby never liked me. which is fine, because i was never a huge fan of hers. yoga is not a job. -i used to play volleyball in high school. back then, yoga was called "stretching," and it was something you did before, not as exercise. (chuckles) lee judged my yoga and my gluten allergy and my two years of college. she thought i was too much of a phony for her brother to marry. -i got my degree in criminal psychology from unc. i was on track to make detective. didn't work out though. i didn't start taking pills because of some fault in my character. i got hurt. -on the job. (indistinct shouting) (baby crying) (crying) (gunshot) (screams) -do you know prescription painkillers can be more addictive than heroin? i went from two pills a day to two an hour. i don't remember how many i took that day. i don't remember very much of anything at all that day, really. (tires screeching) -(siren wailing) (starts engine) (tires screeching) he was a serial rapist. a real asshole. i hate assholes. -(tires screeching) (sirens wailing) put down the gun! put it down! you heard me. put down the... -it would have been his third strike. you ask me, it's the one time the law worked exactly the way it should. (indistinct police transmission) hey! what you nee... -they fired her. come on, mason. divorce? now? when i'm at rock bottom? -how many times have you forgotten to pick up your daughter at school this month? three times. which is three more the amount of times than you've touched me in the past month. i'm done with this. lee: -the judge awarded him full custody of flora. (door shuts) i got her three days every 14. 21% of her life. that's all they gave me. -can we stop for a moment, please? (sizzling) hmm. (creaking) (wind blowing in distance) -(sizzling continues) lee: smelling g... oh, jesus! oh, jesus, lee! -don't sneak up on me like that! you scared the shit out of me! my brother married one jumpy bitch. she knew why we called her there. and she knew that someone was messing with us. -why would she move the knife like that? so when did you become a cook? what is that supposed to mean? recently. it relaxes me. -mmm. cookin'? yes. cooking. (sighs) look, can i be real with you? -while i'm here, could you please not drink inside the house? i know it's your home, but i'm hanging on to my sobriety by my teeth here. but don't worry, i'll stay sober. somebody's got to protect you from the wild men in the woods. and i appreciate that. -although... i wish you still had your badge and your gun. well, i may not have my badge, but mama's still packin'. i'll be honest with you, i never put much stock in the stories my sister-in-law was telling my brother. -she never wanted to move to the country. i figured she was just trying to scare him so they'd pack up and move back to i.a. (inhuman howling) (chimes tinkling) (creaking) -shelby, um... i was pissed off. i thought shelby was messing with me. why, shelby? why would you do something like that, huh? -do something like what? this. why would you do this? i didn't do anything. and i certainly didn't finish off that wine, so maybe you're the one seeing things. -wait a minute. hold up. i'm seeing things? the reason i'm out here is because of what you been seeing. (phone buzzing) matt: -my phone buzzed around 11:30. i thought it was shelby texting to say good night, but it wasn't her. it was an automated alert from the security system i'd installed. the sensors had been triggered by... something. -well, bottles just don't roll across the floor by themselves. why you messin' with me? for the last time, i didn't do it! god, everything is a five-alarm emergency with you. matt: -i was in a complete panic. my family was in danger, and all i could do was watch. when a mob shows up at your house in the middle of the night with torches, they are not there to welcome you to the neighborhood. do you know how many hours matt spends worrying about you? matt: -and no one would pick up the damn phone. every time you have a problem, you call matt. your husband's mean to you, you call matt. uh-huh. you fall off the wagon, you call matt. -well, that's what families do! we look out for each other! yeah, except for you take. you take and you take. where were you when matt was lying in that hospital room, unconscious, fighting for his life? -where were you...(door opens) (shushing) (creaking) (whispering): someone's in the house. -(soft creaking) (hinges creaking) (man shouting, panting) (chuckling) (man shouting) hey, lee, i'm not staying up here by myself. -where's your gun? where it should be, locked, in a drawer upstairs. do we need to go back up and get it? (man panting) (man whimpering) -(man shouting) (man whimpering on tv) man (on tv): i knew it... it came back. i knew it was real. -shelby: why would someone break into my house just to play a home movie? (inhuman howling on tv) oh, god. i've heard those noises. -(man panting on tv, mutters) man (on tv): it's close. (panting): i can smell it. -(inhuman howling, man yells) (man screaming, howling continues) i finally got you, you son of a bitch. what the hell was that? i have no idea. -(static) we have to get out of here. come on. yeah. (door slams shut, gasping, whimpering) -(power whooshes off, phone buzzes) matt: i was freaking out. i called the cops-- they said they would look into it. freaking useless! -(yells) shit! shit! i knew, even 100 miles away, i'd get there before they would. -i just kept saying, "please, god, just-just get me home. please just don't let me be too late."

(video rewinds) had to be those rednecks going all out, trying to get us to leave. (video rewinding) (inhuman howling, man yells) -(man panting) i finally got you, you son of a bitch. matt: pissed me off even more. people do this all the time. -neighbors or locals do crazy things to try to drive out the new homeowners, so they can come in and buy the property cheap. they're just trying to freak us out, so that we'll leave. well, it's working. i want to leave, matt. now. -if they want the house that badly, let them have it. did the cops see these tapes? shelby: they don't care. they just think it's some good ol' boys being good ol' boys. -you know they're not gonna lift a goddamn finger to help us. lee: come on, shelby, shelby, come on. you got to let the cops do their job. oh, don't take this personally. -matt. we have to leave. it's our home, shel. our life savings. where are we gonna go? -and with what? you cannot let these people run you out of your home. you're not even listening to me. wow. you know what? -just... just do what you want. shelby... oh, let her go. give her a little time to calm down. -(door slams) who is this guy? lee: another member of that redneck family?

is he okay? -his orbital socket is broken. he will need surgery once the swelling goes down. our bigger concern is he hasn't regained consciousness. well, i need to see him. if i'm with him, he'll wake up. -i know it. i was right. as soon as we touched, he started waking up. that's just... that's just the kind of connection that we have. he was gonna be okay. -but she wasn't. she lost the baby. they don't know if it was the stress or-or, um, being pushed, but well she... she lost the baby. the city just didn't feel safe anymore. we needed to get out. -i wanted to go east, to where i grew up. my sister lived there. my mom. it was home. it's, um, north carolina. -right near the ocean, but... but also full of the most gorgeous native forests. it was so quiet and wonderful and calm. i think we just both just realized that at the end of the day, we weren't city folks. we were in the woods, having fun. it was a perfect day, and we found ourselves in front of the most beautiful old farm house. -it was three bedrooms. and two stories and a basement. they told us that it had been built in 1792. it was in great shape. it felt like it was meant to be. -like the universe just wanted us to be there at that moment. i also thought "there's no way we can afford that house." opening bid is $21,000. what is your bid? well, now, that includes the ten acres of forest around the house. -but you can't build on it. it's protected. that seems inexpensive. what's wrong with the property? hurricanes. -you don't want this house. we bid $25,000. $26,000. do i hear 27? we bid $40,000. -it was almost all of our savings. it totally turned me on when he did that. going once. going twice. sold, $40,000. -oh, my... what did we just do? baby, we just started over. i loved it. and i loved him, but from the very first moment i felt danger there. -from the moment i walked into the house, i... i was home. i mean, i love the country life-- the fresh air, waking up to the sound of the birds singing. if shelby felt any different, she didn't say anything out loud, but i sensed a-a reluctance. -maybe she missed the city. maybe my wounds healed quicker. they were nothing compared to what she lost: a life inside of her. i love you. -what the hell was that? shit! no, no, no... no, no, no, no. matt, please don't go. matt, please don't go down there. -just stay here, stay here. at first i thought it was a... a raccoon or-or a bear. but a bear didn't do this. who's there? who's out there? -hey! when you see something like that, a lot of crazy thoughts go through your head. you think, today, prejudice is not going to rear its ugly head. but... this is the south. they just got rid of the confederate flag. -and with shelby and i being an interracial couple... matt! this kind of hate is something that's always in the back of my mind. and then i thought of those hillbillies who lost the auction. wouldn't surprise me a bit if they were trying to scare us away with this kind of vandalism. -we ran away once, and... we weren't gonna be victims again. i had just finished 90 minutes of my practice, and i had fallen asleep during my shavasana, so... i wasn't quite right with the world. ow! hey. -oh, hey. shelby was literally shaking... hey. you okay? ...when i got back from running errands in the little town a few miles away. -honey, it-it's just a hailstorm. i drove through it on the way home. i know what i saw. it wasn't ice. there were human teeth falling everywhere! -weather 'round here does take some getting used to. that's it. i felt pretty foolish. i mean, teeth don't fall from the sky. raleigh is only two hours away. -wakemed is one of the busiest hospitals in the state. if i land these accounts, i won't have to be gone so much. babe, i know what i signed up for. traveling salesmen travel. it's how we pay the bills. -all these renovations. even that ugly tie that you're wearing. it's my lucky tie. hey, are you sure you're gonna be okay? i can always cancel my trip. -i'm a big girl. i'm gonna be fine. i'm gonna be fine! okay. okay. -okay. well... it's good. go. fine. -to tell you the truth, i was looking forward to some alone time. he was being so sweet and so patient, but... he was... hovering, extra protective, and i felt like i was suffocating a little. so i wanted him to go. -i felt like i needed the alone time. in a way, it felt normal. that's how things had always been for us. he'd go away on business, and i'd miss him like crazy. and then, we'd have the best sex when he came back. -i'd feel like... like nothing could tear us apart. and i knew that i was probably being silly. i just... it takes time to settle into a new home, and i just needed to relax, and... luckily, that's-that's what i do for a living. -oh! is anyone there? hello? hello? well, shelby called me, panicked, crying, saying she had been attacked. -i was in raleigh, two hours away, but i made it home in half the time. where's shelby? is she all right? she's inside. you her husband? -your wife reported that she was assaulted and held underwater in the hot tub. she claimed to have struggled against her attackers. what do you mean, "claimed?" i found no evidence of footprints or marks on the deck or in the grounds around the hot tub. she also said her attackers were dressed in old costumes holding pitchforks and torches. -does she imbibe? i know exactly who did this. it's those zz top wannabes. they've been trying to scare us off since we bought this place. i'll bet it's the polks. -let me, uh, go have a talk with them. those guys keep to themselves, and they're, uh, not so easy to find. we need protection! get a gun. what? -! that cop-- he wasn't gonna do a damn thing for us. i could tell by his manner, and his-his... his condescending attitude. he said he'd file a report, but i knew it would just end up in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. -was it those guys from the auction? no. i don't... i don't know. it's just what you told the cops didn't make a whole lot of sense there, shelby. -i saw what i saw. they held you down... until they let you up? i was really scared. i was choking on water. -when i could finally see clearly, they were gone. i ran inside to call the police, then i called you. what? the cops said that they didn't find anything by the hot tub. no fingerprints, no torches. -they must have come back for them. i wasn't imagining things, matt. i wasn't. mm. do you think i'm lying to you? -shelby, absolutely not. no. i believe you 100%. shelby, no. i'm sorry. -i believe you. i believe you. i'm sorry. i believe you. i felt so guilty, because i couldn't tell matt the truth. -i didn't want to live there. i decided not to tell shelby about what happened, but it was proof to me that that white trash gang was trying to scare us away. i had to be back in raleigh the next day, so, i set up security cameras all around the perimeter that were synced to my cell phone so i could keep an eye on the place from wherever i was. not bad for an amateur. -but i was not going to leave shelby there alone. so i called my sister. shelby never liked me. which is fine, because i was never a huge fan of hers. yoga is not a job. -i used to play volleyball in high school. back then, yoga was called "stretching," and it was something you did before, not as exercise. lee judged my yoga and my gluten allergy and my two years of college. she thought i was too much of a phony for her brother to marry. -i got my degree in criminal psychology from unc. i was on track to make detective. didn't work out though. i didn't start taking pills because of some fault in my character. i got hurt. -on the job. do you know prescription painkillers can be more addictive than heroin? i went from two pills a day to two an hour. i don't remember how many i took that day. i don't remember very much of anything at all that day, really. -he was a serial rapist. a real asshole. i hate assholes. put down the gun! put it down! -you heard me. put down the... it would have been his third strike. you ask me, it's the one time the law worked exactly the way it should. hey! -what you nee... they fired her. come on, mason. divorce? now? -when i'm at rock bottom? how many times have you forgotten to pick up your daughter at school this month? three times. which is three more the amount of times than you've touched me in the past month. i'm done with this. -the judge awarded him full custody of flora. i got her three days every 14. 21% of her life. that's all they gave me. can we stop for a moment, please? -hmm. smelling g... oh, jesus! oh, jesus, lee! don't sneak up on me like that! -you scared the shit out of me! my brother married one jumpy bitch. she knew why we called her there. and she knew that someone was messing with us. why would she move the knife like that? -so when did you become a cook? what is that supposed to mean? recently. it relaxes me. mmm. -cookin'? yes. cooking. look, can i be real with you? while i'm here, could you please not drink inside the house? -i know it's your home, but i'm hanging on to my sobriety by my teeth here. but don't worry, i'll stay sober. somebody's got to protect you from the wild men in the woods. and i appreciate that. although... -i wish you still had your badge and your gun. well, i may not have my badge, but mama's still packin'. i'll be honest with you, i never put much stock in the stories my sister-in-law was telling my brother. she never wanted to move to the country. -i figured she was just trying to scare him so they'd pack up and move back to i.a. shelby, um... i was pissed off. i thought shelby was messing with me. why, shelby? -why would you do something like that, huh? do something like what? this. why would you do this? i didn't do anything. -and i certainly didn't finish off that wine, so maybe you're the one seeing things. wait a minute. hold up. i'm seeing things? -the reason i'm out here is because of what you been seeing. myphonebuzzedaround11:30. i thought it was shelby texting to say good night, but it wasn't her. it was an automated alert from the security system i'd installed. -the sensors had been triggered by... something. well, bottles just don't roll across the floor by themselves. why you messin' with me? for the last time, i didn't do it! god, everything is a five-alarm emergency with you. -i was in a complete panic. my family was in danger, and all i could do was watch. when a mob shows up at your house in the middle of the night with torches, they are not there to welcome you to the neighborhood. do you know how many hours matt spends worrying about you? and no one would pick up the damn phone. -every time you have a problem, you call matt. your husband's mean to you, you call matt. uh-huh. you fall off the wagon, you call matt. well, that's what families do! -we look out for each other! yeah, except for you take. you take and you take. where were you when matt was lying in that hospital room, unconscious, fighting for his life? -where were you... someone's in the house. hey, lee, i'm not staying up here by myself. where's your gun? where it should be, locked, in a drawer upstairs. -do we need to go back up and get it? i knew it... it came back. i knew it was real. why would someone break into my house just to play a home movie? oh, god. -i've heard those noises. it's close. i can smell it. i finally got you, you son of a bitch. what the hell was that? -i have no idea. we have to get out of here. come on. yeah. i was freaking out. -i called the cops-- they said they would look into it. freaking useless! shit! shit! i knew, even 100 miles away, -i'd get there before they would. i just kept saying, "please, god, just-just get me home. please just don't let me be too late." someone's up there. shh. -a lot of someones. we were down there 20, maybe... 30 minutes, but it felt like forever. come on. come on! come on! -come on! shh. keep it down. what are you doing? shh. -come on. no, no, no, no, no, no. come on! oh, my god. i finally arrived. -the cops had come and gone by the time i got there. lee said they took a report and chalked it up to vandalism. this was not vandalism. this was terrorism. how did they do this so quickly? -that's not the point, matt. they broke into our home. they locked your sister and me in the basement. they were here. they lured us down there, made us watch this creepy video. -what video? i didn't want to see it again, but i went down with him anyway because i wasn't going to be alone in that house. matt hadn't been there when it happened, so, of course he didn't take it seriously. i took it seriously. i mean, i thought the video was fake. -had to be those rednecks going all out, trying to get us to leave. i finally got you, you son of a bitch. pissed me off even more. people do this all the time. neighbors or locals do crazy things to try to drive out the new homeowners, so they can come in and buy the property cheap. -they're just trying to freak us out, so that we'll leave. well, it's working. i want to leave, matt. now. if they want the house that badly, let them have it. -did the cops see these tapes? they don't care. they just think it's some good ol' boys being good ol' boys. you know they're not gonna lift a goddamn finger to help us. come on, shelby, shelby, come on. -you got to let the cops do their job. oh, don't take this personally. matt. we have to leave. it's our home, shel. -our life savings. where are we gonna go? and with what? you cannot let these people run you out of your home. you're not even listening to me. -wow. you know what? just... just do what you want. shelby... -oh, let her go. give her a little time to calm down. who is this guy? another member of that redneck family? shelby! -shelby! i couldn't believe it. shelby just... left. at the time, it made all the sense in the world. -humans respond to fear in two simple ways-- fight or flight. there's no shame in getting the hell out of the way. hello? shelby, come home. shelby? -can you hear me? are you there? shelby! oh, my god. shelby! -are you all right? can you hear me? shelby! oh, come on. come on, come on. -hello? ! hello! hello? hello? -hello? ma'am? are you all right? ! are you hurt? -no, no, no! please, stop! stop! i have to get you to a hospital! i didn't understand what happened. -i still don't. ma'am! hello? ! i followed this woman straight into the forest, maybe 50 feet. -hello? ! and the road was directly behind me, i swear. there's no way that she could've gotten very far, but i couldn't find any sign of her. hello? -! and i couldn't find my way out. hello? come on, shelby. come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, oh... -okay. i was lost. hello? no! no! -previously on "impastor"... how come every time you save me from someone, they end up dead? would you rather have it the other way around? you ever seen this guy? no. -i'm in love with you. do you mean that? and if i wasn't around, you'd be dead. how is that? -guy with a gun to your head? you shot him? but how? what were you doing out there? i saw that guy hit you and throw you in the trunk, so i followed you. -and then when he took you into the woods, i had to do something. and you just happened to have a gun? ever since kenny, i kept one in the trunk. buddy: -and you just happened to be a great shot? alexa: i grew up hunting with my dad. alexa, why didn't you tell me this before? can't you infer that part? -maybe i could if i knew what "infer" meant. i had just shot a man. i didn't know who he was or why he wanted you dead. buddy, this is insane. i still can't sleep thinking about it. -i have to know. who was that guy i shot? all right. he was some right-wing religious nut who hated the idea of gays being pastors. at least that's what he told me. -a religious nut? yes. then why didn't you go to the police? because i don't want the rest of his hetero hit squad coming after me. buddy, do you really expect me to believe that? -hi. hey. i forgot my knitting. everything okay? yeah. -alexa just came by to borrow a... an orange. here you go. oh, thanks. sure. well, have a good night. -well, that was weird. really weird. who comes by to borrow an orange? i couldn't stop thinking about what alexa had told me and how she wasn't buying what i had told her. hey, guys. -what are you doing? just pounding a tasty corn dog. buddy, how could you eat there? they're antigay. well, i wasn't flaunting it. -these corn dog bigots are using so-called religious grounds to discriminate against us. we're boycotting them until they change their policy. i told you all about this. russell, sometimes when it looks like i'm listening to you, i'm actually lost in prayer. -i won't apologize for that. well, now that you know, you are gonna get rid of that, right? dora? hi. yes, uh, as you know, the election for church president is next week, and once again, i'm leading in the polls. -oh, alden. you make the same joke every year. nobody ever runs against you, so... ah-ha-ha! oh! people have run against me in the past, at their peril. -if you remember, my last opponent vanished. glenn moved to boise to open a krispy kreme. well, that's your version. anyway, i'll be giving my victory speech next sunday, so i'll need you to draw up a list of all my accomplishments over the last year. your accomplishments? -like the rummage sale or the drive for the homeless or maybe the inter-faith breakfast, which were all my ideas? which i authorized. hey, alexa. sheriff graham, hi. you know, i'm so glad i ran into you. -i wanted to ask you about ray florez, the now-deceased guy you said you hadn't seen but you had. how is it someone you didn't know have your number and texted you, "car's gone. you're next"? i have no idea. i guess i was his next lutheran trinity target. -ohh, okay. oh, hey. can you pass me a couple sugars? i've got a bit of a sweet tooth. oh, my goodness. -where did you get those bruises? oh, these? they're nothing. well... uh... looks like you have a matching set. well, okay. -just between us, i have an adventurous side in the bedroom. ohh. get it, girl. buddy: -finally... a place where no one will judge me. russell: buddy? buddy? what's up? -people are saying you don't care about gay rights, and it's getting very hard to defend you. defend me? i have been sheltering you like a lioness with her cub, but you haven't done one thing for the gay community since you got here. i hooked up with steve the mailman. that was pretty gay. -no youth outreach program, no lgbt fund raiser, no gay-straight alliance symposium, nothing. you haven't even come to one of our weekly coffee meet-ups. there. that's the one! i'll do the coffee thing! -we're talking like an hour, right? oh, dora, hi. hi. can i ask you a favor? shoot. -although i probably shouldn't be saying that to someone who's packing heat. um, you know, from what i hear, you're pretty tapped into things around this town. well, i have always felt you can observe a lot by watching. mmm, well, that's great because i really could use some help on this ray florez case. ray florez? -isn't he the guy that burned buddy's car? you are tapped in. see, the thing is, i have reason to believe that pastor barlow knows more about ray's death than he's letting on. i'd like for you to find out what you can for me. -so... so you want me to spy on buddy? oh, no, no, no, just keep your eyes and ears open, particularly when he's around alexa. i'm sorry, sheriff. i'm just not comfortable with that. okay, i understand. -but if you do happen to hear something, give me a call. the sheriff is starting to put the pieces together. she noticed the bruises on my wrists from where ray tied me up. what did you tell her? that i was adventurous in the bedroom. -how adventurous? butt stuff? in case she asks, we need to have our stories straight. buddy, i have the bulletin that... oh... sorry for interrupting. -okay, i'll just give you two some privacy. i need to know. are we in this together or not? of course we are. then no more bullshit! -who was that man i shot? it's the only way that i'll ever be able to trust you. his name was damien. and he was a bad, bad dude. you did the world a favor by getting rid of him. -why was he trying to kill you? i owed him a lot of money. from gambling. look, i thought i'd be able to leave my debts in the past and make a fresh start in ladner, but he found me. and that's the truth. -you think that was impressive? watch this. you guys, guess who's coming to judson theater. "thin lizzy." who's in? oh, i'm in. -got my t-shirt from their '97 world tour. buddy, "thin lizzy" is a one-woman show about a girl with body issues. oh, then i'm out. i'm not into skinny chicks. or any chicks. -vaginas? no thanks. am i right? ooh, look! our corn dog house boycott just got another like. -that makes 17. you know, if you want to take down these corn dog jerks, you need to go bigger than social media. you gotta make some noise. what do you mean? like a protest? -sure. what a fantastic idea from this active leader of our community. and that was just off the top of my dome. how 'bout we protest corn dog house sunday afternoon? both: -yeah! okay. yeah, go get 'em, guys. i mean, let's go get 'em, guys. yeah. -you're part of it. you are breathtakingly beautiful. thank you. please. i thought we were going out. -i thought we were staying in. tie goes to the man. that's why we wear 'em. as a symbol of who it goes to. oh. -and i just happen to have here... alden, can i ask you a question? sure. are you afraid to be seen in public with me? no, of course not. -it's okay. you can be honest. is it because of your wife? uh, my soon-to-be ex-wife. and i'm not afraid of her... anymore. -well, are you embarrassed by me? what? no! i... i'm crazy about you. -by damn, you're right. it is time we show the world we're a couple. you know that cute, little french bistro on elm street? i hear they're tearing that down to build condos. soon as i get the permit. -you know this guy? his name's kenny banderas. isn't he the poor soul who committed suicide? apparent suicide. turns out he and ray florez were cellmates way out there in massachusetts. -oh, small world. i know! two men who have no connection whatsoever to the town of ladner both come here and wind up dead. what are the odds? i'd say roughly nine-to-one. -i know you have a connection to ray and ray has a connection to kenny. i don't know how you and alexa have a connection to poor, dead kenny... yet. maybe we should pray on it. mm-mm. oh, that reminds me. -i brought you a bible for your desk. there. now you look like a real pastor. holy sh... spirit. hello there, alden. -oh. and, uh, ashlee, right? welcome to ladner trinity. uh, i understand you and the pastor know each other. does he understand all our conversations were confidential? -oh, well, what little conversation we had. well, i'm just happy to know all my counseling paid off. yes. to see her kneeling before you, her mouth open, ready to receive the body of christ, it warmed my heart. you've got some nerve. -well, i should get going. bringing your little harlot to church. hi. the harlot's name is ashlee. for god's sake, you have hemorrhoids older than her. -not anymore. i found a cream. now you're the only pain in my ass. the sheriff knows ray and kenny were cellmates. what? -oh, god, buddy. this is bad. maybe not. as long as there's no evidence tracing us back to kenny, we're fine. the gun that i used to save you with is the same one that was used in the boston robbery. -it is in my closet. it is registered to kenny. jesus, alexa! people usually keep a sweatshirt from their ex-boyfriend, not a gun. lot of good a sweatshirt would have done you out in the woods. -we have to get rid of it. how? we'll do it together tonight. sheriff graham? it's dora winston. -i think maybe we should talk. dora! can you believe alden? parading that hussy in front of the whole congregation. oh, i'm so sorry, hilva. -that must have been really emotional for you. it wasn't. i accept my marriage is over. what i will not accept is alden and his teen lover bringing down this church. bringing down the church? -how? congregants are appalled with his indecent behavior. we could lose members. pearl, maryanne, both of the joyces. do you want me to talk to them? -although i really only know the joyces from that time we all carpooled to quilt-a-mania four. i want you to run for church president. me? you think that i could be president? why not? -you've put in the years. you know how things run. i always thought you didn't like me. i don't. oh, okay. -but i think you could win. where's buddy? we said we were meeting at 2:00. don't worry. he said he'll be here. -he'll be here. buddy? do you have a minute? i'm... i'm curious about something i heard you say to alexa. -what thing was that? it just went something like, quote: "we have to get rid of it. we'll do it together tonight." end quote. -oh... that. what was the thing you needed to get rid of? dora... if i tell you something, can i absolutely trust you to keep it between us? of course. the thing we're getting rid of... is a ghost. -a ghost? yeah. i know it sounds silly, but alexa believes there's one in her store. when she opens up in the morning, she says there's clothes everywhere. and she wants you to remove this ghost? -well, who you gonna call? buddy, spirits from beyond are nothing to trifle with. maybe i should go with you. no, no, no, no. alexa swore me to secrecy. -well, be firm, and don't be afraid to call upon the archangel michael to help guide the lost soul to the light. yeah, i was gonna do that, for sure. ooh! and also, maybe you should light some sage. you know, just to burn off the negative energy in the store. -not a rookie. all: two, four, six, eight! your corn dogs are deep-fried in hate! i know you think buddy walks on water, but he has to walk with us, right now. -he's here. jeffrey, what's up? it's good to see you, buddy. we weren't sure you'd make it. oh, come on. -being gay isn't all rainbows and pecker play. gotta do the work. so let's give this restaurant... 20 minutes of hell. hi. hi. -so, what do you have for me? nothing. i'm sorry. you wouldn't have called me if you didn't have something. well, um, i thought i did, but i was wrong. -dora, withholding information about a crime is a crime. did pastor barlow get to you? you shouldn't be protecting someone involved in a murder. you think that buddy is involved? are you crazy? -he could never hurt anyone. you know what? this conversation is over. not until i say it's over. all right, it's over. -all: your corn dogs are yummy! your owner's a dummy! your corn dogs are yummy! your owner's a dummy! -look! they're here. a news van? yeah. we took your advice to go bigger. -you're gonna be on tv. buddy: i knew a lot of people in portland, people who thought i was dead and knew i wasn't a pastor. hi, karyn lee. you must be pastor barlow. -thank you so much for doing this. i knew you'd come through for us. rolling in five, four, three... and we're rolling! hi, i'm karyn lee, and i'm here with... -pastor, the camera is over here. i'm here with pastor jonathan barlow as he protests a conservative christian restaurant's antigay policies. what are you doing? uh, that's a... that's a good question. they're not serving food to gay people like me. -yeah. but why the bag? because it shouldn't matter what we look like or who we love. whether you're black, white, gay, or straight, we all deserve delicious beef franks wrapped in a sweet corn breading. right. -right, guys? right! yeah! right! buddy: -yeah. and we're not taking these bags off until corn dog house changes its policies! america, it's time to stop homophobia! yes! stop it! -let's bag the hate once and for all! yeah! bag the hate! all: bag the hate! -bag the hate! bag the hate! bag the hate! bag the hate! alexa: -wow, #bagheads is blowing up. corn dog house says they're reviewing their policies. whoa! easy on the corners. i think someone's following us. -who would be following us? i don't know. but i'm gonna lose him. god damn it. we have a murder weapon in the car! -i know we have a murder weapon in the car! all right, let me do the talking. license and registration. here you go. why were you trying to get away from me, mr. barlow? -pastor barlow, and i thought somebody was following me. why would someone be following you? and what brings you all the way out here from ladner? oh, we're returning from a prayer meeting. is that so, ma'am? -mm-hmm. you seem nervous... you got something to be nervous about? like i said, we thought somebody... i was talking to the lady. officer, we have something in the car we shouldn't have. -no, we don't. no, we don't. it's drugs. marijuana. you do know marijuana is legal here in oregon. -really? oh, my god. i'm from out of state, so i thought i was in big trouble. well, you're not. well, maybe not with him, but we're gonna have a little chat, missy. -drugs are wack. you two have a nice night now. thank you, officer. you too, officer. thank you. -yes! that was awesome! oh, my... you were awesome! oh, my god! -my heart is racing a mile a minute. feel! feel! frankie: out here in the middle, the winters can be brutal, so we really appreciate that first warm day of spring. -is it done? can i use it? can i use it? i can't wait to use it. mike: -hold your horses. oh, my god, guys! it looks great! oh, i have always hated that old rotting wood since the day we moved in here. i've been carrying around that sunset magazine for 22 years with the picture of what i wanted, and now i finally have my lanai! -what's a lanai? it's a patio. she calls it a lanai... makes it sound fancier. i like "lanai." it's exotic. -brings a little paradise to orson. kind of like how my mom and i live on orange grove avenue. i'm not grilling burgers on a lanai. this is indiana. let's go with "patio." -well, i don't care. i love it. and thank you, thank you, thank you. i'm already more relaxed, and that's not the drink talking. well, maybe a little. -drunk or not, you're welcome. oh, but don't think i'm done yet. eventually, i want to have a tiki bar with a cabana and a flat-screen tv over there somewhere. okay. anything for you, baby. -yep, there's nothing like the first warm day of the year, when the days get longer and the skirts get shorter... the day east indy calls "halter top day." hey, aren't you missing a class? nope... missing a test. man. something smells good. -oh, that's kenny. they're making grilled cheese sandwiches. it's one of those rare times you smell something good coming out the 'bago. huh. ooh! -mmm! oh, my god! is this good 'cause it's good or am i just in a good mood 'cause it's halter top day? shh. i just want this moment to be between me and my sandwich. -mmm. mmm. hey, uh, how much for a grilled cheese? what? oh. -no, we're not really... $3.95... $4.00 with a napkin. oh. cool. kenny, order up! yep, i was breaking in the new lanai... my little oasis of calm. -boy: watch me, mommy! girl: no, mommy! watch me! -she watched you already! she's watching me now! girl #2: she's not watching anybody! hi! -are you moving in?

"mcclaren dick pic" is trending on twitter. sir, please tell me there's no such picture. -oh! of course not! but the party's not going to wait until next week and they are understandably forcing my hand. which means i have to force yours. so, are you in? -yes. yes, of course. i'm in. fantastic! hey look, channel 3 is interviewing me on the 4th and i'd like you here with me to announce that you're running for my seat. -well, i'm actually still up at trout lake. and i'm planning on proposing tomorrow... you know what, this could work in our favor. newly engaged family man. beautiful outdoor setting in washington state. -i mean, it's a nice introduction. are you saying we should do it up here? of course. we'll send a camera crew to you. we'll satellite you in. -um... i think i could make that work. your life is going to change. thank you, sir. i'll talk to you soon. -where are pam and the boys? oh! they just decided to have a little quiet night in. you know, little spencer was still pretty upset about the whole gill thing. yeah. -that was rough. gill would not want us to be a bunch of mopey dopes. i think he would want us to celebrate. to future congressman roger! all right. -a celebration. absolutely. i can't thank you enough for being so supportive. and particularly for allowing a camera crew to come crash your vacation. listen, we weren't going to let you leave. -and now we get to be a part of this big moment. we're excited. and i know this goes without saying, but, please don't say anything to anyone before the announcement because... ladies and gentlemen. tonight is a very special night. -i won't say who because it's not official yet, but someone here, roger fellner, is running for congress. so i'd like you all to put your hands together like this, and help me get him on up here. roger! roger! roger! -roger! we'd like to dedicate this song to two very special ladies. it's deuce princes by spin doctors. come on, roger! sing it, rog! -look at him go! he's on fire! yeah, baby! move the strawberry into the cart. no. -that's... no. no. hey! hey, hey, um... -hey. are we still on for our date tonight?

once you get on this ride, you ain't never gonna want to come back. -yes, i want a goddamn glass of wine! i've got you, brother. yeah, i really was happy just sitting on the boat. but you're going to love it. whoo! -all right. whoo! you trying to bump me? you're going down! i'm coming for you, rog. -oh! this is so much fun! roger! roger! look out, roger! -no! no! no! oh! oh! -roger, are you okay? hey, sorry about your mug, bro. it'll be better by friday. hey, for what it's worth... before you ate it, you hit some serious air. -you looked like a rock skipped a human across the lake. you were like... speaking of big splashes, um, how are you going to make your announcement? what do you mean? i mean, you gotta make a good first impression, you know. -you've got to wow the voters. get them to remember you. well, i'm going to announce that i'm running and then the endorsement from congressman mcclaren should be more than enough. bro, hear me out. all right? -what if you like... what if you like rose out of the lake, you know, like, "people of washington, i am here to lead you, you, you..." well, i'm going to say no to that for two reasons. one, i'm not here to lead them, i'm here to represent them. that's how government works. -and two, how would i rise out of the water? i know a guy. his name's makev. i could have him here in an hour. forty-five minutes if you've got some cash on you. -it's not going to happen. well, i know you've got a lot of work to do, so maybe this will turn that frown upside down. todd, where'd you get that? you got a speech to write, man! put that down, todd! -you've gotta write... no! no! no! no... -no, please... i'm so sorry, honey. i gotta ask, though, why was that bag on the boat? ask him that. still want to go on our date night? -i don't know. i think i just need a moment alone. okay. right. careful. -hey, roger, i'm sorry, man. i'll replace the satchel. the engagement ring was in the satchel. the engagement ring that i was going to use to propose to gwen, right now, is now at the bottom of the lake, because of you! shit. -oh! what's this? a horse. he was supposed to wait out front. he's beautiful. -honey, are you okay? duder... oh. honey, you woke up! well... -what happened? you ate an entire bag of grandma hibby's thc chips. todd said it was the equivalent of nine joints hitting you at once. i'm so sorry, roger. those weren't potato chips. -they were pot-ate-o chips. it says so right on the bag. what was i thinking? where is todd? you really don't remember? -remember what? it is me or is he talking? hello, roger. high-five, horse. high-five, horse! -whoa. whoa, roger! you're going to spook the horse. please, artax! you have to try. -look out! margie! are you okay?

roger dodger, hey. -oh, roger, our evening was so romantic. we had champagne and strawberries and we saw the most perfect, beautiful sunset ever. beautiful. i mean, just amazing. how could it not be? -gwen and i are going to sleep in the house tonight because we thought the two of you would like to be alone. being newly engaged and all. oh! roger, you're the best! hey, i'll meet you inside. -i'm just going to talk to the r man for a sec. yeah, that'll be fine. it will give me time to prepare. plug your ears, roger. didn't hear a thing. -oh, you will. tonight on dotch tv, dotch is going to touch a butt. you okay, brother? i am not your brother. i am not your friend. -i am not your anything. and after this trip, i hope i never have to see you again. okay, um, you seem upset. because you sabotaged and then stole my proposal. i didn't steal your proposal. -you gave it to me. are you delusional? you don't remember? cowabunga! you okay, buddy? -good. do you still want to do your thing? i don't know if you're up for it, but... ben, what do you say, man? no way, man. -no way! are you joking me? you can't propose now! if you do it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. take it from me, i'm rock bottom, hoss. -dude, check this out. no. no. no. just hear me out, okay. -i'm just saying i don't want this all to go to waste. there's a horse here. i can't believe i'm saying this, would you mind if margie and i go instead? i won't do it if you don't want me to. yeah, let him take the horse. -what are you going to do with it? nothing. you look like junk! you look like some jerk-off socked you right in the face! let him take it, man. -yes! yes! yes! i didn't know what i was saying because you drugged me! i did not drug you. -the bag clearly said "pot-ate-o"... i know what the bag said! but you got what you wanted, didn't you, todd? you got to propose first. i didn't get... -it just happened, roger. i'm so sorry. no more words. no more anything. for the rest of this trip, you stay away from me. -oh. and i'm declining your friend request. no, don't do that. ah! he's here! -oh! hugs. that's new. i have literally never been more happy to see you in my life. don't worry, riggy's here. -he's going to make everything okay. the news gets in tomorrow at 3:00. i brought blazer options. i like navy, it's powerful. but... -you know what? i can handle all of that now. what i need you to do, your sole purpose in being here, is to keep todd away from me all the time. belly-man? you won't know he's here. -thank you. riggleman! hey! gwen! oh, my god! -congratulations! on what? on your... english-style vacation home. the architecture... -i've seen that in england. you're holding swords. oh, yeah. miesha is teaching us combat yoga. it's stretching but with weapons. -he's a free thinker. sounds great. sounds great. honey, margie and i are going to go into town to give you time to focus. thank you so much. -if you forget anything, just let me know and i'll pick it up. same goes for you, riggleman. thank you so much. it's great to see you. oh. -great to see you. you're a treasure. i'm afraid to ask. why did you not propose to that exceptional woman? i'm coming to get you! -because of that. that's him? he literally has been ruining my life all week. and last night he stole my proposal to gwen. please, keep him out of my hair. -all right, you go. i'll take care of this thing. i am the king! whoo! this is the most scared i've ever been in my life. -and i grew up in pakistan. the little mermaid. part of your world now. hey, you must be todd. you're roger's best friend, huh? -what's your name? i'm riggleman. i said how much do you bench? i don't work out, so i wouldn't... me neither. -great. glad that's out of the way. whoa! i don't know what you're going for, but there doesn't seem to be much definition there. i'm not a dictionary so i don't need definition. -that word means a few things. so does "thesaurus". thesaurus means different things? i think it just means one thing. prove it. -i'm in town for a few days and roger said you're the man to show me around. roger said i was the man? to show me around. i am the man. to show me around. -i feel like there's a part of the sentence you're not listening to. i am the man. to show me around. let's do it! just let me bust a piss right quick. -oh. you're... going right now. what's up? um. -it's just the un-breaking eye contact is a little off-putting. that's also off-putting. let me just go get my wrist-cuffs. oh, boy. poor roger. -ripped his head right off. murderer. what a bastard. who murders a fish? roger does. -hey, roger? hey, cathy. hey. we're making beer-garitas. they're margaritas with beer in them. -you want one? no, i'm all right, but thank you, cathy. okay. hey, how are you holding up? not bad. -no, i think pretty good. you know, just going over the speech. making sure i say everything i want to say. oh. well, yeah, you know, i know that that's going to be fine. -but i meant, how are you holding up with the whole todd thing? what do you mean? it's pretty clear that he took your proposal or maybe you gave it to him? but dessert and port aren't exactly todd's style. a ball-pit, maybe. -but not port. you know, when i first met him i thought, "this guy has got to take it down all the notches." but then i realized, you know, that the reason he's got that much energy is because he's got such a big heart. and i guess a guy with a big heart isn't the worst thing you could wish for your daughter. -yeah, sure. of course. this is probably none of my business, but can i give you some friendly advice? certainly. okay. -as someone who has known gwen her entire life, she really loves you. you could ask her to marry you in a parking lot and she'd nut. so, try not to put too much pressure on the "how" of it. thank you, cathy. oh! -well, excuse you! i'm a little buzzed. that burp smelled delicious. can i get a beer-garita? you sold me. -the burp sold me. you're going to be good in this family. come on. hey, honey, look. i got a giant donut! -whoa! that's amazing. aw! my ice cream! she dropped her ice cream. -how do we clean it? it's okay. problem solved. wash it away. it's okay. -todd cleaned the ice cream with soda and his shoe. it's all better. i'll get you more ice cream. good as new. hello, "giggleman." -oh. yeah. todd gave it to me. the nickname and the shirt. i assumed. -that guy is pure good times, man. we met up with gwen and margie. we went go-kart racing. except he called it "go-fart racing". 'cause it's powered by gas. -do you get it? it really was just go-kart racing. oh! we did a chinese fire drill, check this out. he did, like, a chinese accent the whole time. -but it didn't feel racist. it felt more like a tribute to an ancient culture. he got to you, too. you really got to give him another chance, man. it feels good to do this. -try it. all right. well, i'm going to go inside. apparently, i'm staying here tonight. todd would not let me stay at a motel. -classic todd. so, you and gwen are back rooming with todd and margie, okay? todd, do you want to teach me how to swim? cool. roger? -roger, wake up! you're covered in ants! they're biting! they're biting! ew! -i can see his butt. that's what they want. that's my ice cream. oh. look, he's skinny-dipping! -good for him. dad, the news van is here. shut up! hi there. dana curlman. -hi. i feel like i might be wearing too much makeup. no, margie did a great job. you can't see any of the bites, honey. i look like a peach mime. -i think it's going to read differently on camera, okay? god, they really got in here. i know. thank you for doing this. it's not my first time. -remember when i got attacked by all those mites when we were building that library in peru? yeah. hey. i'm really gonna miss you when you leave. i'm going to miss you, too. -and i'm very sorry for how this week has panned out. i wanted things to go very differently. and i actually was planning to ask you to... hey, roger. oh. -was i interrupting? um. no? no. we should get you mic'd up. -all right. um. wish me luck? good luck! wait, where's todd? -i don't know. he said he knew this was big for you, so he had to get out of here. good. kind of miss him. hi. -dana curlman. cascade news 3. let's hit it. i'm jazzed and we're going to be live very, very soon. can i ask you, is the makeup intentional? -do you think it's too much? yes, it is. but it is too late. here we go, guys. let's do this dang thing. -we're live. go. welcome, roger. hi, tom. hi, jules. -ooh! look at roger. he looks good. well, thanks for having me. does he look too orange? -his face looks like it's covered in cheetos dust. there's an ant coming out of his nose! what? oh, my god... there's an ant... -uh. do you need a tissue? sorry. no. just an ant. -no. he's done. with the ant thing, it's over. i grew up in seattle. it's a city i love. -it's a city i know. i've been working with congressman mcclaren these last five years and in that time unemployment has dropped 2%. high school graduation rates are at an all-time high. wait, is that todd? is that todd? -yeah. that's todd. wow! he's got some height. roger fellner for congress! -america loves this man! america needs this man! i can't even dream this stuff, get the freak in the back. roger! it's me, todd! -roger fellner for congress! just having fun up here on vacation with the fam. leave! leave! i can't hear you over the jet shoes. -i said turn it off! turn that off! you're ruining it! do you hate this? yes! -the innovation of the people of washington. if you don't leave i'm going to kill you! i'm gonna kill you! leave! makev! -let's go! okay, he is going to hit him. roger, i'm sorry! watch out! roger, i'm sorry! -roger! whoa! roger! roger fellner is now unconscious. he's like iron man. -this is amazing! all right! now that's news! roger fellner. guy worth saving. -guy worth voting for. hell of a tagline. i felt like a superhero! god, todd! it was the best, it was... -i don't even know where it came from. i don't know how i did it. i mean, that was awesome. and i gotta tell you, seeing your face now. it is busted. -honestly, that makeup was not that bad. well, thank you for today and we will catch you later. todd, you my dude! roger, are you okay? all things considered, that went okay. -and todd said we can try his water boots. this is even worse than ripping off gill's head. i'm just glad he had clothes on. roger, i wouldn't go to sleep tonight. i'm sure you're concussed. -you know i can't vote for you now, guy. right? how many times did i tell you to leave me alone? how many times did i say stay away? easy. -easy. you punched me? yes, and it felt wonderful! what is wrong with you? what is wrong with me? -him! he just destroyed my political career on live television! looks to me like he saved your ass. that's because you're an idiot! you're out of line, roger. -i'm the only one being honest, jerry! you should not be content with this man marrying your daughter. she could do so much better. you need to apologize to todd right now. how are you not on my side? -i am on your side, but it is not okay to assault people! gwen, if anything, he should apologize to me! i'm sorry. i don't want your apology! do you hear yourself right now? -you've completely lost your mind! he knocked me into the water! he didn't save me! he caused it! i know, but that was an accident. -he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. he is a menace! there's one person right now who's a screaming, raving lunatic and that is you. why would that be? do you understand what i am going through? -gwen, you don't know half of what's transpired, okay? well, why don't you tell me! no. you don't tell me anything that's going on. i can't tell you everything! -things affect me, too! and when you decide out of the blue that you're gonna run for congress that has an effect on me! and so does you leaving the country for three months at a time! have you communicated with me, or asked how i feel about that? well, how do you feel about it? -i hate it! i think if you really want to help people you should give them something like food, not young-adult novels. all right. gwen... no. -i hear you. i'm sorry. you think i'm a joke, and you hate my family. i'm really glad to know, a couple of years in, that this whole time you thought i'm a fool. i don't... -so i think, now would be a perfect time for you to go. you want me to go home? great. that's great. oh. -and by the way, "i'm gonna nut" means ejaculate! let's go. that's disgusting. why would he say that? -cathy, that part's true. hey, roger. i just want to say thank you for a wonderful couple of days. switching gears a little bit, um, i lost my cell phone charger in there. -it's a samsung android s3. it's like the s4 but a fewer prongs. you know how they just change the chargers for no reason. i know this is a weird time to bring it up, but it is a discontinued model. it's got metal gray... -it's our candidate, folks! i just want to thank all of you for all your hard work. i really appreciate it. place isn't much, but it's the best i could do on short notice. no. -no, the place is wonderful. i just hope everyone realizes i'm going to lose. why would you say that? i fell into a lake on live television. yeah. -people love it. it's gone viral. where have you been? purposely avoiding all media. look at this. -it's got three million views on youtube. roger fellner. guy worth saving. guy worth voting for. and you've become a meme, look. -there's you being rescued from the titanic. there's you with the water-skiing squirrel. your own commemorative cereal. that's just you coming out of a toilet. that's also... -a bunch of just different toilets. it's really so flattering to have the entire country making fun of me. roger, this is a good thing. this is a real human moment. people look at this and go, "well, i could fall into a lake. -"i should vote for this guy." hey, pete, play the maddow piece. and finally tonight, i'm sure you've all seen the seattle politician fall into a lake while announcing his run for a congressional seat. yes, a near-drowning on live tv is a bit of a blunder, but the quick thinking of a family member saved his life, and with it, his chance at public office. -well, now, new footage has surfaced of the accident-prone candidate and his rescuer just crushing the spin doctors on karaoke. somebody smart once said, "judge a person's character by who he surrounds himself with." well, with friends like these, roger fellner seems like a stand-up guy. -or rather, "a guy worth saving. a guy worth voting for." so, we are all set for the fundraiser on friday. and this is for you, it was sent to my house. good night, roger. -is that your boyfriend? oh. hey, man, sorry. i didn't realize anyone was still here. you look happy. -you and your boyfriend. no. he's not my boyfriend. no, no. he's, um... -he's a... do you want me to move? no. no. no. -you're good. all right, ready, zip! what is it? "cabbie penny needs a potty." wait, what did it start as? -"katy perry's a hottie." yeah, she is! don't tell your parents i said that, okay? 'cause i could get in big trouble. hi. -do you think i could talk to you for a second? hey, micah. can you please tell our guest that these are not visiting hours? these are not visiting hours. thank you, micah. -i can hear him. i just need two minutes. hear me out. and if you don't want to see me again, i'll leave you alone. hey, micah. -can you please tell our guest that if he would like to arrange a time to talk that's not during our hang time that would be much better? he said... yeah, i heard him, micah. thank you. um... -okay. okay, little homies. where were we? red-hair ralph. mickey got another one. -give it to me, brother. hey, micah. can you please tell our guest that if he would like to talk to me right now that he could call me up on the telephone. todd, i've tried calling... "limes harden in a lunch room. -nine times a night." what did it start as? "i'm sorry that i punched you. i had no right." i acted like such a jerk and there are no excuses, but if you give me a second chance i would love... -your round is over. okay. guys, thank you very much for letting me interrupt. i hope you have fun. you deserve a better brother-in-law than me. -you're not safe here. none of you are! that beam is the safe zone. and he is it! freeze tag! -it's on! hit him. i take it you got my package. i did. todd, that was amazing. -thank you so much. though i don't know if i'll have much use for it now. gwen won't even return my calls. come on, buddy. you know she still loves you. -she's been moping around the house for like two weeks. makes for an awful roommate. you know, her big fundraiser's tomorrow night. i do know this. in fact, part of the reason i came here... -is i need your help. say it again. i need your help. say it real loud this time. i need your help! -now, say it... say it like a weird baby. i need your help! let's do it! without funding, thousands of people won't have access to books and the priceless knowledge contained within their pages. -we view every book in our libraries as a chance. a chance to learn. help give that chance to the people of the sundarbans. because when a book is in your hands, the world is at your fingertips. all right, i would like to call upon our pledge donations. -can i get the house lights up, please? let's start with our golden bookmark donors. who here is willing to pledge $10,000? really? nobody? -oh! we have one. yes! thank you so much. no, you are a waiter. -um. okay, let's move on to our next... what just happened? this is ridiculous. aw, yeah, give it up for books! -put your hands in your pockets, get the cash out! put your hands in your pockets, get the cash out! yo, these kids are books! ladies and gentlemen, the actual spin doctors! that's not the spin doctors. -now we're talking. hey. i don't know when i started taking you for granted, but shame on me. i don't hate that you do this. i don't. -i love you because you do this. what i hate is being away from you. being with you will always be my greatest accomplishment. i love being with you so much, i am willing to say in front of all these people, that i am okay with having him for a brother-in-law. it's me. -gwen elaine turley, will you marry me? yes! now, i'm going to ask one more time. who here is now willing to pledge $10,000 for some literacy? if you think just because you had the spin doctors play a hit from 1993 that's suddenly going to inspire me to write a check for $10,000 -i have one question for you, sir. do you have a pen? oh, my god! thank you. i now pronounce you husband and wife. -i also now pronounce you husband and wife. you may kiss the brides. oh, oh! you've got an ant... now, can we please go party? -guys, she's all mine! she's all mine! hey, i like the facial adjustments, uncle mel. thanks. it's easier to maintain, and it's a little more classy. -more handsome. you think so? uh-huh. mel! oh! -whoa! ooh! careful, spencer! thanks, roger. no problem. -hey, roger? they tell a story. go, giggleman! go, giggleman! go, giggleman! -how was bangladesh, guys? oh, i think it was the trip we needed. yeah, we helped a lot of people. we built a school and we dug a well. and we put in a wi-fi tower. -now, they have a full, electronic library. this guy thinks of everything. i feel sort of guilty that you lost the election. no. it was pretty hard to come back once it came out that i murdered gill. -yeah. people loved that fish. todd! i owed you one. it's just like the one we had. -get on up there, man. ride off into the sunset. actually just to the end of the driveway 'cause that horse isn't allowed on the street. but i did get you a limo to take you to the airport, so... there you go. -thank you, brother. come here. oh. i have something for you. i love you. -i know. just let the moment happen. there's no words... we'll see you when we get back. adorable. -you'll see me on the plane. the plane? surprise! dual honeymoon! we booked the room right next to yours! -oh! the party continues. it always does. we can get walkie talkies. we can do everything together. -do you like pizza? i can't believe i've never asked you that before. roger. look at me. mmm-hmm. -sorry. sorry. i'm doing it, roger! roger! i'm helping! -you're not helping. do you hate this? come on, pam. ow! it's been two years, which is a very acceptable time. -two years is nothing. i could sit on one box for two years and it wouldn't phase me... you will sit on a box for two years? i have done it. where were you when you sat on a box for two years? -cleveland. yes! oh! nobody gets dana curlman wet. unless i want them to. -be the riggleman that you've always wanted to be. 'cause that's what you deserve. every day look at yourself and go, "i did it." oh. you dropped your ice cream! -okay. bye. what are you doing? making a movie? how did you... -what just happened? do you really mean to forsake me? i have no choice, ma'am. how sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child. i'm afraid the strain of her position has disordered her senses. -how will i manage? it does not matter who you like or do not like. lord melbourne, you forget yourself. i knew i'd seen you before. the question is, how you got from there to buck house. -from lord melbourne. so you do know the queen must marry. and she will look to her husband. my lords and gentlemen... the external tranquillity, which at present happily prevails... .. make this a fortunate time in the government of this great nation. -i pray the blessings of almighty god may rest upon your counsel. present arms! aim! come on! come on! -in the name of the queen! fire! how was i yesterday, lord m? i was trying so hard not to look at my uncle cumberland. he was glaring at me so ferociously. -i believe he was trying to put me off. it's very likely, ma'am. i am plagued by uncles. my mother's brother leopold has written to say he's coming to visit. and how delighted you look at the prospect. -he wants to lecture me on how it is my duty to get married. not all queens marry, ma'am. do you think she was lonely? i believe... she... found companions. well, i have no intention of marrying at present. -i have not seen so many happy marriages. neither have i, ma'am. neither have i. excuse me, majesty, there is a messenger asking that lord melbourne should return to the house at once. his majesty king leopold! -welcome to buckingham palace, uncle leopold. how fortunate that you have inherited your excellent posture from our side of the family, victoria. it quite makes up for your lack of inches. just think if my poor dear charlotte and our child had survived, i would be living in these gilded halls... .. and you, no doubt, would be leading a blameless life in coburg. -oh, sister. dear brother. i am so happy to see you. you must talk to victoria about albert. why should uncle leopold talk to me about albert, mama? -has he had an accident? on the contrary, albert has finished his studies and is the most admirable young man. you could not hope for a better husband, than my nephew. then he must have changed since the last time i saw him. he didn't smile, he didn't dance and he fell asleep at half-past nine. -you will exaggerate like all young girls. that is why you need wiser heads around you to preserve you from your own folly. i think i manage quite well. of course, you have the excellent and devoted lord melbourne. but he will not be at your side forever. -no, he will not. you need a husband to advise you. oh, well, unless you have something else to tell me that i don't know, you must excuse me. i have government business to attend to. but i'm sure mama has a great deal to say to you. -five years ago, he was just a german princeling and now he's... leopold, king of the belgians, indeed. he's here to fix a match between victoria and that stripling, albert. he means to put a coburg on every throne in europe. then i suggest that you promote your nephew. -george cambridge? you may be right. keep it in the family. i remember leopold being most ambitious for the coburgs. nothing has changed. -he has a plan to marry me to my cousin albert. i do not think marriage between first cousins is wise, ma'am. there is no need to look so worried, lord m. i told him it would never do. if i seem concerned, it is not on account of your uncle leopold. -i fear there has been an uprising in wales by a group calling themselves chartists. what a strange name. so called because they've written a charter demanding universal suffrage, annual elections, a secret ballot and even payment for mps. their ideas are impossible, of course, but they have much support among a certain class. you tell me the british are not revolutionary. -i don't believe they are. but this year's harvest failed, and when people are hungry they fancy themselves radicals. you and your safety are the only things that disturb my peace of mind. and you will you come with me, to the opera tonight? i do not think i can bear an evening alone with uncle leopold. -you forget the russian grand duke will also be there. you seemed to enjoy his company very much at the coronation ball. he dances well enough but he is no substitute for you, lord m. you flatter me, ma'am, and like all men i am susceptible to flattery. the "mad scene" always makes me cry. -i think that is the point of opera. we do not have so many opportunities to cry, you and i. how true. george, you should go to the royal box now before she sits on that russian's lap. so long as i don't have to stay for the second act. -i've heard better singing in the mess. well, i hear prince albert is a most correct young man. exactly. what we need is an english bridegroom like prince george. i thought she still likes the grand duke. -such a handsome young man. and what do you think, miss skerrett? you are very quiet, but er... i suspect you're an expert in matters of the heart. seems to me the only man the queen really likes is lord melbourne. -i think we should have a wager. the rooshian for mrs jenkins... .. the german sausage for mr francatelli, i'll take the english bulldog. sixpence each. will you join us, miss skerrett? no? -how about you, brodie? i don't have a sixpence, mr penge. i wish i had. i believe you have met my cousin, prince george of cambridge. i have had the honour to inspect his regiments. -such fine uniforms. you're very kind, sir. what did you think of the "mad scene", george? did it bring tears to your eyes? it certainly did. -my dear niece... .. you know i have always tried to be a father to you. you have certainly written to me often enough. hasn't he, dash? please talk to me and not to your lapdog. i have something important to say to you. -and we are listening. you say you do not want to marry albert, but i would ask you if you intend to marry someone else? i have no plans to marry anyone at present. you do not, i hope, imagine... that your lord m could ever be more than your prime minister? i will not dignify that suggestion with an answer. -then as one sovereign to another, i would advise you to be careful. i think you forget that i am of a royal line that stretches back a thousand years... .. whereas you are king of belgium -- a country that did not exist a decade ago. even the british crown is vulnerable. only this week there was an armed uprising in newport. who knows where these chartists will strike next? -you think your monarchy burns brightly, victoria... but all it takes is a little draught from the wrong direction. marry albert and start a family your subjects can be proud of... .. otherwise... from your sister in monmouth, mrs jenkins. oh, and you owe me a shilling for postage. mrs jenkins, are you all right? -mrs jenkins? did you enjoy lucia last night? it's not mozart, ma'am. and you? you seemed well attended. -the grand duke is amusing. it is refreshing to have someone who understands the cares of my position. but he's too foreign to be entirely comfortable. and prince george? he is so pleased with himself. -oh? well... perhaps... but i think he would like to be a candidate for your hand. an english marriage would be very popular. an english marriage? -would go down very well. i shall bear that in mind, lord m. i hope, sir, you can persuade the queen of the benefits of a match with your nephew albert. there are some... obstacles that need to be removed first. yes, indeed, sir. -good morning, leopold. sir john. ma'am. if you will excuse me, i have some matters to attend to. but you will be here later? -for the ceremony? yes. of course. i was hoping, leopold, you might lend me some money. as you see, i am living like a pauper. -well, i would love to, but belgium is such a poor little country, not like britain. i wonder if victoria might not be a little more generous if you were to make some changes to your household. she does not care, i think, for the admirable conroy. he's my friend. i cannot live without him. -perhaps. but, my dear sister, i wonder if sir john feels the same? mrs jenkins? the baroness needs the keys to the orders cupboard. i said you were ill, but she sent me to fetch them. -why are there so many soldiers, lord m? i'm afraid there may be some disturbance from the chartists, ma'am. since newport, the movement has grown in strength. do chartists wear bonnets? because there are a great many of them out there today. -some chartists do believe that women should have the vote, ma'am. now you are teasing me. we are fortunate, sir, that your father the emperor can spare you for the opening of a monument to the duke of kent. my father and i are great admirers of british institutions, your queen in particular. i never knew my father, but i know he would have been delighted to have his charitable endeavours commemorated by the most generous people of this town. -so it gives me great pleasure to dedicate this to his memory. thank you so much, but i believe i can manage. freedom for the newport chartists! freedom for the chartists! lord alfred, i believe the queen is leaving. -will you escort her and the duchess? with pleasure. lord melbourne, may i have a word? can it wait? i think not. -i wish to talk to you about my niece. indeed? you must admit, i think, that the sooner she is married the better. her reign so far has been troubled. a husband, children, could steady her giddiness... -i do not see the urgency for her to marry. it is more important, i think, that she chooses wisely. there could be no better choice than her cousin albert. he takes after me in so many ways and he is, of course, the same age as her. i do not believe she took to him the last time they met. -victoria will change her mind, but only, i think, if she understands that such a marriage is in her best interest. i believe, my lord, you could persuade her of that. i think you exaggerate my influence, sir. i have seen the way my niece looks at you. ah, the complicated miss skerrett. -are you now a... er... laundry maid as well as a dresser? the laundry maid has sprained her ankle, so i thought i'd take these down myself. when are you going to smile on me, miss skerrett? if you come down to the kitchen, i've made some sweet meats, just for you. -you know, i used to send them, to the nunnery. i believe they were much appreciated there. but i do not have a sweet tooth, mr francatelli. whatever i was before i came here is my own business. i trust you've recovered from yesterday, ma'am. -the impudence of the chartists. i thought they looked hungry rather than dangerous. where is lord m? i thought he should be here by now. is he indisposed? -oh, no, ma'am, he's quite well. then why isn't he here? he has gone to brocket hall. emma, your carriage is unmarked, i believe. ah, it is you, ma'am. -i couldn't tell. the butler said you would be here. i come here for the rooks. they're sociable animals. a gathering like this is called a parliament. -altogether more civilised than their human equivalent. i'm sorry to disturb you, lord m... .. but i had to talk to you. brocket hall is honoured, ma'am. i have come here incognito, of course. of course. -but your presence cannot be entirely disguised. yesterday i realised something. yes, ma'am? i think perhaps now... i'm speaking as a woman and not as a queen. -at the beginning... .. i thought that you were the father i never had. but now i feel, i know... .. that you are the only companion i could ever desire. did you know that... .. that rooks mate for life? every year, they... they build their nests together... .. renew all those little civilities that... -.. make a marriage sparkle. i think we could learn much from them. if i had just spent more time watching the rooks... .. my wife would have felt more attended to. she should never have left you. i would never do such a thing. -no. i believe when you give your heart it will be without hesitation. but you cannot give it to me. i think you have it already. no, you must keep it intact for someone else. -for i have no use for it, you see. like a rook, i mate for life. i see. then i am sorry to have disturbed you, lord melbourne. ah, baroness, are you standing guard in case your charge disappears again? -i hear she went to brocket hall without an escort. i am no longer the queen's governess, sir john. or her confidante, it seems. we are but the playthings of princes, baroness. you see, i had such hopes, of bringing some rigour to the monarchy. -but queen victoria has been allowed to squander the good will of the country in a series of the most squalid episodes. you have no right to speak about the queen in such a way. no right? the only hope now is that she marries a man who can control her. where have you been, drina? -no-one could tell me where you were. it doesn't matter, mama. wherever you have been, it seems it did not make you happy. perhaps now you will be in a more receptive frame of mind to discuss albert's visit. no? -i must attend to my costume for the ball you are so kindly holding for me. please invite dear albert to visit. he would be such a good companion for you. i don't want a stupid boy like albert, mama. or anyone else. -perhaps you would like one of these, miss skerrett? no, thank you. i told you i don't have a sweet tooth. that's funny. the other girls at ma fletcher's couldn't get enough of my strawberry tarts. -i wouldn't know. i wasn't an upstairs girl. i worked in the laundry. it's quite a jump... .. going from cleaning up after tarts to mending the queen's stockings. i can't for the life of me figure out how you did it. -it's a veritable mystery. i don't know what you want, but you ain't getting nothing from me. all i want is for us to be friends. i had to work hard to get here, just like you. i think we might be kindred spirits. -i don't have friends, mr francatelli, or kindred spirits neither. how splendid you look, ma'am. do you really think so? what beautiful flowers. they're orchids. -where did they come from? brocket hall. but i thought william had closed the greenhouses after caro... he must have opened them again for you. i do not think he would do anything for me. -do you know how hard it is to grow orchids? you misjudge him, ma'am. he cares only for the memory of his wife. is that what he told you? then that is what he wants you to believe. -these flowers, ma'am... well... carpe diem, george. you must be attentive. i will stick to her like glue, for all the good it will do. -she's the one that has to make the running. nonsense. she's a nineteen-year-old girl. you are sir galahad. sir lancelot, actually. -my lords, ladies and gentlemen... her majesty the queen and his majesty king leopold of belgium. your majesty! may i claim the first dance? may a cossack dance with the queen? -i understand cossacks can be dangerous if thwarted, so i shall dance with you first and you next, sir galahad. it's lancelot, actually. i hope the queen has saved a dance for you. she's busy tonight. she will have to marry one day, william. -yes. she will. i just hope her husband will appreciate her. i took the liberty of bringing you a little brandy, mrs jenkins. thought you might need it. -thank you. i have to talk to someone. might as well be you. i know you can keep a secret. i have a nephew. -my sister's son. he's my godson too. last time i saw him he had blond curls all over his head. i always thought i'd see him again, but... working for the household, it made it very difficult for me to go back, you know. he would write to me sometimes and say that he would come and visit me one day. -and now he's coming to london... .. to be hanged and then to be cut open while he's still alive. he's one of the newport chartists? please. please. oh, mrs jenkins, i am so sorry. -don't be. he is a reckless fool and he deserves to be punished. but not like this. the queen is waiting. then why don't you go and dance with her? -i have had quite enough of cousin victoria. why, her legs are shorter than my arms. imbecile. don't you want to be the most important man in the country? i might be the midget's husband, but i would not be master in my own house. -no, thank you. may i have the pleasure, ma'am? i think this one is free. have you danced with george yet? he wants to dance with a queen... .. not necessarily with me. -then he's more of a fool, than i suspected. i wasn't sure if i would dance with you tonight. it would be unkind for elizabeth to refuse her leicester. leicester was her companion? he was. -he did have a wife, but then she died. but even though he was free, they never married. i think both he and the queen understood they were not in a position to marry. whatever their inclination. i am honoured that you would dance with me, ma'am. -i thought i should like to understand what my mother sees in you. ah. well, i believe she values my company. she's long been a widow, and as you know, as your mother, she's in no position to remarry. i see. -different for you. the country needs an heir to the throne and you need a husband, to keep your behaviour in check. really, sir john? and who would you recommend to keep me under control? your mother believes that you would be happy with your cousin albert. -and what do you think? i think he's a serious young man. he understands the duties of a modern monarch. he will not be swayed by sentiment or folly. and i suppose you imagine he will need an advisor? -ha! well, who's to say? at present i have no intention of marrying, sir john. but if i did, it would not be to anyone who would choose to be advised by you. you may have my mother in your pocket, but you will never, ever have me. -i see. i believe my niece made an impromptu visit to brocket hall. you are very well informed, sir. it seemed to leave her in low spirits. perhaps she did not get what she wanted. -i could not say. you should know that i have sent for my nephew albert. without the queen's permission? the sooner he comes the better. a young girl's head can be turned so easily. -i have something for you, your majesty. it's a small... token of our friendship. oh, how beautiful. v and a. victoria and alexander. -it might not be correct perhaps, but i hope you will forgive me. my father has ordered me to return to petersburg. he chose a danish princess. i forget her name but he says she's very fond of herring. i am sure she will be charming. -we cannot marry where we please, you and i. idiot nephew. george called at the palace this morning and was refused an audience. we might as well go to hanover. but you are still the heir to the throne. -i am 67, my niece is 20 and healthy with it. ah, but remember princess charlotte. so sad. even healthy women can die in childbirth. indeed. -but i think we must go to hanover. i cannot stand the sight of our simpering little queen a moment longer. the rooshian is engaged to someone else, mrs jenkins, so that's your sixpence gone. and georgie porgie hasn't been near the palace in days, so that's mine gone too. we had no business gambling on such a thing. -it's the devil's work. i don't think the queen is about to marry anyone, mr penge. perhaps you should all take your money back. excuse me, but prince albert's still in the running. is he here? -if he is, i hadn't noticed him. some days i really wish i was a man. they don't spend all day trussed up like a chicken. they have to shave, ma'am. that can't be comfortable. -i'd rather shave than wear one of these. is something the matter, mrs jenkins? why don't you go and lie down, mrs jenkins. may i be excused, ma'am? of course. -is she unwell? it's the newport chartists, ma'am. they are to be executed any day now. mrs jenkins is from those parts. well, she takes it hard. -do many people feel as mrs jenkins does? i think they do, ma'am, yes. they may not hold with the chartists, but... they don't want them to die a traitor's death. no. no, it's a... .. terrible way to die. -you sent for me, ma'am? when are the newport chartists to be executed? next friday, ma'am. they are to be hanged, drawn and quartered? that is the punishment for treason, ma'am. -i believe some bishops are organising a petition for clemency. then i should like to sign it. such a punishment is not civilised. i fear you do not understand the severity of the crime, ma'am. indeed i do, but i think you do not understand the severity of the punishment. -such things may have been necessary in the reign of elizabeth... .. but i would like my reign to be a merciful one. then you must know, ma'am, that as queen... .. you may commute their sentences. instead of being executed, they would be transported to australia. in that case, i should like to exercise my right. you are sure, ma'am? -quite sure. i am not sure it's... mama. sir john. how fortunate to find you here together. -i have come here because i wanted to tell you, in person, that i have decided to grant your request, sir john. what request? didn't he tell you, mama? i am going to give sir john an irish title and a pension of 1,000 a year, and in return, he is going to leave court. you would leave me, for... .. for some money? -you have not changed your mind, sir john? no. and i have decided to raise your allowance, mama. it is time you had some new clothes. come on, dash. -you must understand i had no choice. i have no desire to leave you. but your daughter will not be ruled... .. and i must use my talents somewhere. the queen said it wasn't civilised. and she's right, god bless her. -maybe it takes a queen to see things as they should be. i have a letter from my brother in dover. the coburg princes are expected. oh, i am looking forward to my winnings. i think you are being a bit hasty, mr francatelli. -there's no guarantee the queen will bite. well, let's wait and see. you really think a german sausage will tempt our virgin queen? i still think my sixpence is quite safe. mama? -i have something for you. the lace is made in a convent in bruges. look how delicate it is. you sent him away, drina. no, mama, he wanted to go. -i know you feel his loss and i understand. to lose someone you care for... it's so hard. no man would give you up, drina... .. unless he knew that it was his duty. (oh, mama...) .. i think i will never be happy. -never. elizabeth seems to have become something of a favourite, ma'am. i have decided to follow her example and reign alone. with companions, perhaps. really, ma'am? -have you told your coburg cousins? i hear the brothers have departed for these shores. albert and ernest? but i have not asked them. nevertheless, they are coming. -uncle leopold must have sent for them against my express instructions. why doesn't he understand i am quite happy as i am? i will not be your prime minister forever, ma'am. don't say that, lord m. but i must. -let the coburgs come. perhaps prince albert will surprise you. i don't want things to change. i know, ma'am. but i believe you will not be happy alone... .. even with companions. -you need a husband... to love you... .. honour you, cherish you. but there is no-one i care for. i do not think you have really looked. i was so happy before. i find that happiness can always be recollected in tranquillity, ma'am. -you were happy too? you know i was. well, i'm not going to get married just to please you. no, you must please yourself. victoria. -albert? it's albert's destiny to marry victoria. i'm not sure victoria agrees. albert and i are not suited. he has no manners. -it seemed to me that you play together rather well. so stiff and awkward. a clockwork prince. do you think the prince handsome? i would like him to smile at me. -what's he looking at? a woman, or the most eligable match in europe? i do not need you to tell me what to think, albert. no. that's lord melbourne's job. -previously on rogue... the man you want is marty stein. if marty's behind this, then that's a fucking problem for me. and i'm gonna go after him. i just wanna find finnegan. -his car was found down by the docks. burnt out. window bashed in. there's a gun being held to my head. you bring vasily to me or she's dead. -who is this? i'm gonna come after you after i'm gonna kill her. we are dealing with the russian mob here, ethan. what if i was to give you some gangsters? i mean, that is the whole point to your little task force, isn't it? -your weapons. you okay, jen? bring her to me. no. we take them both. -federal agents! drop your weapons! drop your weapons! ethan! ethan! -can you describe her body? mr. kelly? ethan. did mia have any sort of marks, tattoos, deformations... how is this helpful right now? -the more information you give us, the quicker we can find her. mr. kelly, i promise you, we're doing everything we can to locate her, but given the circumstances... no, no, no. the circumstances are that i tried to help you guys out and this is what happened? -yeah, i'm a little bit fuzzy on how you were able to do that... mr. dinard gave me a lead and i followed it. that's the business i'm in. the security business, right? that's right. -so why not call the police? us marshals? let them handle the threat on jennifer alberts and her uncle. jen's family was in trouble because the marshals screwed up. now, why aren't we out looking for mia instead of sitting around and fucking talking about it? -we have road blocks at three and five miles from the site. we have an apb out state-wide. i'm gonna grab a coffee. i have told you a thousand times... i have no idea where they took her. -you can't keep me here all day... hey, excuse me, you can't... who took her?

"how does a philosophy major end up at the dea?" well, i'll tell you, sasha, there is not a whole lot of money in the philosophy business. -and those student loans, they don't pay themselves, now do they? hard to get out from under it, sometimes. boy, i remember when i first started, i took pretty much any job i could find. i was fortunate to find my way here... -doesn't look like you were so lucky. career took a bit of a detour? you see, i see people like you all the time. get promised a nice, cushy job in america, but then you get here, and you find out it's not quite what you thought. am i close? -listen to me very carefully. if that girl is still alive, you have options. i tell the da you cooperated, that you helped to bring her back safely... that goes a long way. and if i don't know anything? -well, i guess all that hard work you've put in, goes to waste. my friends don't know i help you? we won't say a word. i think i know where they are holding her. i didn't realize you were a philosophy major. -i'm not. didn't go to miami either. all right, we got an address. let's get a team together. i'm coming with. -no, you're not. you got your ia hearing in an hour. it can wait. no. no. -it can't. these are not the kind of people you want to piss off, deakins. i'm not gonna sit around and... no! so they don't kick your ass out of here. -this is more important. no, hey. no, it's not. that girl is already dead. you know it as well as i do. -i need you back to 100%, so this kinda shit doesn't happen again. all right, let's go. who is this guy? he's our lawyer. used to be. -why would he know where mia is? i don't know that he does, i just know he's involved right now, and he's mia. you know, just do your thing. come on, come on. -right, okay. read me both of their numbers. marty's first and then betsy's. marty is... 312-555-0159. okay, next. -betsy's... 312-555-0187. okay. what do you want the text to say? put, "union station.

"working with harper deakins for a period of five months... "in that time, i have come to know her as an agent of the highest caliber, "possessing exceptional fortitude, -"strength of character, and unimpeachable integrity." "she remains a sterling example of the fundamental values "and ideals that the chicago gang task force aims to uphold." i didn't know he knew such long words. anything you'd like to say on your behalf before we make our recommendation? -i haven't been perfect. i've made mistakes. and sometimes my methods are misguided, but never my motives. i lied about my boyfriend's drug use because i wanted the job. and yes, i used my position as a federal officer to get him off what i believed to be an unfair and bogus charge. -i take full responsibility for those mistakes. jesus. i... i ask only that you take into account my entire record before making your decision. guess you're stuck with me. -they're giving me back my badge. hey. she's dead, isn't she? mia's dead? we didn't find her. -house was empty. then, what? picked up something else though... her jacket, covered in blood. mia's? -found this inside the pocket. i don't understand. what would the russians want... could this have something to do with what we talked about the other day? what? -is it possible that patrick was still working with stein? no. fuck no. hey. eli? -kayla? argh! what is going on here? what happened to you? argh! -giant octopus took a chunk outta me. yeah, yeah, yeah... it's true, ma, i seen it happen. eli, go to your room for a second. but... -now. trade you? okay. you okay? yeah, a mishap at work. -i'm sorry about your vase, baby. what kind of mishap? snagged on a rusty nail on the door frame. and you need crutches for a rusty nail? they only gave me about a week to live. -let me see it. why? 'cause i don't believe you. this how it's always gonna be? i don't know, you tell me. -baby, you gotta give me a break. i'm giving you a chance to tell me the truth. it's like i said. there was a rusty nail. hospital gave me these crutches and i got a tetanus shot. -let me know when. okay. hey, but not yet, just a second. okay, there. what exactly are we looking for? -anything that tells us where marty might have gone or what he knows about mia. start looking through here. okay. here we go. what'd you find? -different name. different life story. take this and that one there. anything? he says that's where they were holding her, and that's all he knows. -swears he knows nothing about patrick. you talked to cpd? yeah. yeah, i had a conversation with his lieutenant, went through all his case files. there's nothing in there that should've put him anywhere near those russians. -it doesn't make any sense... sometimes it doesn't. you cross the wrong person... never see it coming till it comes. you trying to tell me that law enforcement's dangerous? -yeah. it gets even more dangerous when you play both sides. i'm going to the house. there's nothing there, team's already been through it. beats sitting around here. -right. hello, good looking. seems like just yesterday that was us. yeah. that was a wonderful evening. -i'll say. you know, i called your office. they say you don't work there anymore. someone had to stick with marty. i stuck with him and they kicked me out. -i never pegged you as the loyal type. still sour things didn't work out between us? sophie... i'm looking for marty and i can't locate him. you and me both. -scout's honor. i came across some of your work recently. go ahead, take a look. mind telling me about this? sorry. -can't help you. yeah? why is that? because i don't know why you're asking. well, a friend of mine is in trouble. -always seems to be the case with you. i'm being serious, sophie. and i'm asking, please. look, i think marty's in a situation. what kind of situation? -the bad kind. the time-sensitive kind. you think this girl has something to do with it? i mean, it's a theory. look, if something happens to marty, it's bad for me, but it's even worse for you. -the firm doesn't want you. and marty's your meal ticket now. okay, sophie. marty came to me about four weeks ago. asked me to look into this girl. -look into her how? he... he wanted to know if there was a connection between her and this guy, wu... wu? yeah, leonard wu. -and who is he? i don't know, it was a month ago, what do you want? i want to know. i think he was a geologist, or something. a geologist? -yeah. i think. look, i couldn't find what marty was looking for, so why does any of this matter? i'll let you know. it's good to see you, sophie. -can i help you? good afternoon. special agent nate lowry with the chicago gang taskforce. i'm looking for marlon dinard. marlon's out. -what'd he do? well, actually, mr. dinard's been assisting us recently. came by to deliver some good news. it's not too often i get to do that. okay. -well, if you could let marlon know that the paperwork for his asset forfeiture has gone through. looks like he'll be getting his store back. well, that is good news. yeah. how's he holding up, by the way? -what do you mean? his leg. you mean the one that he caught on the rusty nail? right. yeah, well... -it seemed pretty bad, so i just thought i'd check in on him. yeah. look, why don't you just have him give me a call when he gets in. right. will do. -thank you. hey, how'd it go? you okay? yeah. yeah. -of course, i just... it's nothing. what did she say? not much. i can see why you two get along. -you know, jen, if you want to go home, i understand. no. i'm sorry, it's just... it just kinda comes in waves, you know? stop staring at me. -yes, i'm crying. what did you get? i got a name... leonard wu. who's that? -marty seems to think that mia and him are connected in some way. there's hundreds of them, that's not really promising. got anything else? well, sophie said that he's a geologist. geologist, um... -all right, i got a leonard wu. im dorr and company. it's an independent mine auditing firm. check this out. "a private aircraft crashed in southeast utah, wednesday. -"the plane was reported overdue in the afternoon "when it did not arrive at its destination. "all three on board were killed including the pilot, "timothy rigby, and two senior im dorr auditors, "samantha jordan, and leonard wu." -hey. hey. found another one, 30 yards west. another body or another site? i don't know, we'll find out soon enough... -so, what's the tally? it's eight so far. they think one of the graves might be a double. did the team say anything about... listen, everything they've pulled up so far... -it's been there a while. okay. can i ask you something? what the hell are you still doing here? what? -i mean, you're breaking into homes and offices, mobster shoot-outs... mia's a client. client for what? what do you actually do? what do you mean what do i do? -are you a private investigator, are you a body-guard? i... you know what, you could call me like a, i guess a jack of all trades. yeah? yeah. -well, what exactly do you get paid for all of that, jack? i see you want a little cut of the action. i didn't say that. well. hey, you know what? -don't turn this around on me, i know exactly why i'm here. those guys killed my father. but as far as i can tell, you don't have a dog in this fight. no. -everything's not always that clear cut. are you fucking her? no. holy shit. yes, you are! -teetonka. fine, i'll be quiet. no, i want you to look it up. i don't need to look it up. i know what it means. -teetonka, "talks too much" in sioux. no, no, teetonka chicago inc. it was leonard wu's last job before he died. so you speak sioux? my mother's native american. -so, you're russian, chinese and native american, is that right? i never said i was chinese. just fucking with you. i'm pretty much the poster child for the benefits of interracial breeding. teetonka chicago inc. -it's a uranium mine in utah. uranium? looks like they're a subsidiary of some russian company, bershov industrial. max bershov owns teetonka? -you know the guy? well, i know of him. i mean, he... he pretty much outfitted half the... private security companies that i worked for over in afghanistan. -an arms manufacturer? yeah, something like that. who runs their american operations? looks like their chief operating officer is a tilda switzer. let me see. -hey. eat something. this stuff will kill you. you promise? you should go home. -and do what? i don't know, sleep? i came here because i wanted to find something, you know, something we missed, hoping he was alive... maybe they were holding him somewhere... and now, with all of this, and the waiting... -i just want to know, you know, get it over with. thanks. you should get out of here. come on. no. -yeah, you're torturing yourself. doesn't matter. it does matter. it matters because the fallout from this is gonna cause a shitstorm in the morning and i need you at your best. what about you? -what about me? i'll be outta here in an hour. right, any updates, i'll let you know. go on. go! -all right. okay. i was never very fond of carnations. well, i thought it was the thought that counts. says who? -boy. what the hell is wrong now? nothing's wrong. in fact, i got good news for you. it really looks like it. -an agent lowry stopped by, said your assets are getting un-seized. no shit. wow. looks like you're getting your store back. that's... -man, that's, that's good news, you know! at least now i don't feel so bad throwing your ass out. hey, what you mean... don't touch me. i'm asking you what you're talking about. -he asked about your leg, marlon. so? the man wasn't asking about a rusty nail scratch. hey... you lied to me. -i didn't want to tell you because i knew you'd get upset. mission accomplished. i was working with the feds on this kidnapping case. you know what, you might as well just stick with your giant octopus story, 'cause... did you just hear what... -a client of the security firm, they... they got into some trouble and i just wanted to help out. you're working with the feds? i didn't want to tell you, because i knew how you'd react. what happened to your leg? -i got caught with a ricochet. a bullet? yes, a bullet! get your stuff, get out of my house. did you not hear what i just said? -did you... i said i was working with the police! i'm trying to do good by you and eli. you lie too easily, marlon. i can't have this around eli. -that's it? that's it? that's what you're saying to me? look me in my face and tell me that that's it. after everything. -look me in my face and tell me that. get out. thought you said the stock was worth 200 a share. it is. why? -well, tilda's sitting up there running the whole damn operation. what do you mean? i mean, teetonka is five people sitting in an office. there she is. i mean, their stock's been skyrocketing in the last six months with her at the helm. -maybe they don't need anybody else. what else did you find out about her? nothing, really. on paper, she's the very model of the modern major coo. fellow harvard alum... -well, i guess you're not really an alum... spent two years at an investment bank, a moscow hedge fund for four, moved into commodities, and then took over teetonka nine months ago. did you find out any dirt, jennifer? she plays ultimate frisbee on the weekends. i guess that's kind of embarrassing. -what about text messages, e-mails, phone, something, come on? encrypted. encrypted. well, mine were encrypted but you found a way in. that was different. -yeah. why? i was working right next to you, i just paired my device to yours. what do you mean? cell phone next to cell phone. -nobody ever protects their bluetooth network. well, not as much as they protect everything else. it's just an easier point of entry. sneaky little bitch. excuse me? -hey. hey. thank you. thank you. how you doing? -better than some. yeah, well... um, anyone told his girlfriend yet? no. i'm not looking forward to that conversation. -yeah, well, i obviously didn't mean it should be you. why? why, "obviously," shouldn't it be me? well, for starters, you're in love with her boyfriend. i'm not... -i'm not in love. yeah. yeah, you are. jesus. how sad am i? -everyone always realizes how much they love someone once they're gone. is that right? yeah. yeah, well... you know, that's how i knew we were done. -what, you weren't in love with me after i was gone? no, i was. but you weren't. i was more relieved than anything else, yeah. fuck you, i knew you were, too. -wait, how long? how long did... did i know about patrick? ooh, i don't know. it doesn't matter, does it? -guess not. so, you knew, and you were going to propose anyway? well, you see... you're sort of an emotionally stunted woman, harper deakins. sorry, but it's true. -and i... you know, you might have gone your whole life without ever figuring it out. i wasn't going to say anything, so... i don't know. i didn't think it would matter, you know, once i made you blissfully happy. -well played, glencoe. almost. almost well played. while we're on the subject... who is the... -who is the young girl who answered your phone? the young lady's name is maddie. it's early stages, though, so... i don't know. so, what, is she twelve? -madison is her name and she's a doctor. she's going to be a doctor when she, when she finishes university and then goes to med school. deakins. yeah. no, i'm on my way. -what's up? that's that's lowry. he's got something. go, go, go. okay, thank you. -yeah. thank you. excuse me, sir. can i get a maker's, please? thanks. -you know, what's unfortunate is that's the one novel of his that i identify the most with. philip roth. the human stain? well, that's why i said it's unfortunate. you must be a professor. -nah, no. i just don't think that you've read that far into the book. got you. i don't believe you. really. -my hand to god, i promise. people need more common sense. "common sense isn't so common." you know that, come on now. are you trying to sound smart by quoting voltaire? -nobody sounds smart quoting voltaire. that's the truth. yeah. i'm sorry. i have to take this. -okay. excuse me. yeah, yeah, sure. hello? can you speak? -yes. it's done. mia rochlan is dead. fuck. what about the stein situation? -progressing. should have update soon. let me know. and i have ethan kelly here with me. i can keep him occupied, if you'd like to take care of this tonight. -hold on. where are you now? at dinner. bring him back to your place. we'll be waiting. -fuck. cheers. thanks. i'm so sorry. work. -so, where were we? federal agent! drop your weapon! exit the office with your hands up! come out with your hands up! -hear me now, demon! i vanquish thee! it...is finished. you did it! you rid the studio of the evil spirit that had been haunting it. -father, on behalf of the entire cast and crew of "baretta," i thank you. now you're sure your star was never possessed by this demon? i'm pretty positive. i mean, he's been in his dressing room the whole time hanging out with a certain running back from the buffalo bills. ten hut! -i've confined the spirit to this jar. make certain it is never opened again. no one will ever touch this jar. ugh. hi, al. -hey, scott. what if instead of eating three meals spread throughout the day, i just ate one meal but it was three times as large? ah, who am i kidding? i'll never find a plate big enough for all that food. -ah, i'm in a similar situation, al. you see, in order to fit into my sexy halloween costume, i'm on hollywood's latest weight loss scheme, the pickled eel crotch diet. ooh, that sounds disgusting. yoink! -ah, i don't see any picked eel crotches here for me to nosh on. i knew i saw some somewhere around here. oh, lid's on tight. oh! ew. -hey, what a rip! there's no pickled eel crotches in here. i guess dieting for one single meal minutes before i was gonna put on my sexy borat costume wasn't gonna help me lose weight anyway. mm, i'll just wear my backup. it's "comedy bang! -bang!" tonight's guests: gillian jacobs, scott's neighbor, maximilian blanc, and the studio is haunted. featuring me, "weird al" yankovic, and your host, scott aukerman. -hey, there. welcome to "comedy bang! bang!" we have a great halloween show for you tonight. gillian jacobs is here as well as maximilian blanc. -i'm scott aukerman. oh, and did you know that statistically speaking, there are approximately 320 people watching this episode right now who have swallowed a spider in their sleep? pretty gross, right? you may want to stay awake during this show just to be safe. all right, well, let's say hello to our good friend, "weird al" yankovic. -thank you, al. happy halloween. happy halloween, scott. hey, how come the studio isn't decorated? "comedy bang! -bang!" always has such great halloween episodes. ah, but this year, old boy, i have a new money-making scheme. did you know that there is a particular group of people who don't like halloween? i know. -they're called senior citizens, and they hate halloween because they know it's the one night of the year if they go outside and see something scary, they'll definitely have a heart attack and die. i never thought of that. of course you didn't, al. you thought "bad" rhymed with "fat." in any case, i've invited several senior citizens to the studio and given them a place where they can be away from those unexpected frights, and thus i give you the "comedy bang! -bang!" hauntless house. holy crap! a banner! i promise you, al, tonight's episode will have absolutely zero scares. what the? -my laptop! it's floating. my penny jar is floating, too. oh! my coke is now a coke float. -aaah! whoa! oh, my god, al. we need to get rid of this ghost before the senior citizens show up and say-- hello. -i'm herbert elderman, and i'm a representative of the silver hair springs retirement community. is everything safe and sound for our visit tonight? uh... yes. good, 'cause if we're gonna spend our hard-earned social security money, we don't want any problems. -ugh. oh, my god, our hauntless house became a hauntful house. what are we gonna do? i think there's only one option: pray that it was a random occurrence and hope they never return. -that's the only option? for now, yeah. all right, well, i'm excited to get to my first guest. fearless. fascinating. -friend. these three words into alphabetical order. please welcome gillian jacobs. oh! fantastic. -oh, i love it. please. oh! pee-wee herman! no. -no? just a--what exactly are you? this is my grandfather's suit. i found it in a box. what did the box say? -what was it labeled as? okay, so you're wearing a pee-wee herman costume. fantastic. you'll notice we put down some plastic for you. oh, is that 'cause of what i did the last time i was here? -yeah, you took a poo right on our couch. i took a poo right on your couch. i thought that was a little rude. well, i warned you before i came out that i had diarrhea. i said, "i may poop on the couch," -and he said, "who cares?" look, if i'm gonna start disqualifying guests just because they have diarrhea, we're never gonna have anyone left. so now, gillian, don't you agree this halloween that kids would be smarter if instead of going trick or treating, they just pooled all of their money and then went down to rite aid and bought candy? where are they getting the money from, these kids? allowances. -i never got an allowance. you never did chores? my mother made me fold rags. what are these rags she's making you fold? cleaning rags. -my mother insisted that rather than throwing them into a box, they be neatly folded, so the only time i was allowed to watch television was "law order" and fold rags. okay, now i'm sort of getting your whole thing. mm-hmm. yeah, so you're like a watching "law order," folding rags kind of person. -all right, let's just keep this train moving. what else you got for me, buddy boy? all right, gillian, let's say that it's the purge. okay. how would you murder me? -hmm, i've thought about this a lot. yeah, i figured. well, you're taller than me. so i don't think i could take you down in hand-to-hand combat but i could be poisoning you. perhaps i've already started. -i don't believe i've ingested anything. is there some sort of patch you've affixed to me? have you? scott, would you care for some of my coffee? it has your lipstick all over it. -that's how you know it's not poisoned, 'cause i drank it already. there we go. or did you ingest something earlier today? i think you were just waving your arms in front of my face and then you gave me some of your coffee right now. no, we just flash backed. -if we had flashed back, i think we would have had, like, a big clock wipe. do it in post. we would have done it in post. do it in post. uh, al, do you have a question for our guest? -yeah, um, do i make you horny, baby? yeah. yeah, he does. good. i figured. -he's always going around checking. check another one off the list, al. so, gillian, it's halloween. i thought maybe we could do something creepy. it's a game called bloody mary and basically what you do is-- -say "bloody mary" three times into a mirror and then see what shows up? sure, that sounds fun. bloody mary, bloody mary, bloody mary. oh! mmm. -whoa. mm-mm-mm. so good. that's what happens when you say "bloody mary" three times? i thought a woman covered in blood shows up and kills you. -no, you just get a free bloody mary. then why does anyone ever pay for a bloody mary? i don't know. people are dumb. in fact, anything you say three times in the mirror shows up. -try it. virgin sex on the beach, virgin sex on the beach, virgin sex on the beach. i hear there's a virgin here who finally wants to have sex. oh, i was looking forward to joining you in a toast with a beverage comprised of one part orange juice, one part cranberry juice, one ounce of peach nectar, and a splash of grenadine. but don't you want to-- -get this monkey's paw-style gift away from me. whoo! when i said "people are dumb," i meant you're dumb. we'll be right back. if you love halloween but hate how spooky it can be, check out "not too spooky spooky halloween songs." -buy it now for 10,000 lira? why aren't we selling this in dollars? it looks like your real hair. no, it's a wig. uh, we're here with gillian jacobs, and, al, -i'm a little concerned that we may have a ghost in the studio. do you have a plan? oh, i know. what if we hung up some garlic? i hear garlic repels ghosts. -ooh, and then we could open a window and it could float out of the studio. scott, that isn't gonna work. garlic doesn't repel ghosts. it attracts italians. and opening a window isn't gonna do anything. -at most it'll probably just allow more italians to climb into the studio. uh, al, i think you're a little overly concerned about italians. am i? i came in through the window. get the hell out of here! -arrivederce! ugh, all right, let's take a look at this film i may or may not be starring in. glass river camp. fun, wholesome, safe. -but for these campers, all of that is about to change, because this nice place for a summer vacation just became the perfect place to die. coming to theaters this halloween. okay, okay, guys. did you know that 20 years ago in these very woods, there was a camper by the name of jerome vermeesh? oh, not this story again. -shut up, marcus. i want to hear this. oh, my god, just hurry up so i can do a striptease. well, apparently no one knows what happened to him but one day he just snapped and he went on a murderous rampage. what was that noise? -probably just a bear coming to eat us. okay, this isn't funny anymore. did you see that? he's got a--a gun. that tool one uses for hunting sport or protecting one's family? -it doesn't make any sense! i think he may have been pointing it...at us. prepare yourself for an exercise in terror unlike anything you've ever seen before. i would be better able to process this if he were chasing us with, like, an axe or a glove made of knives or something. hey, don't blame the weapon. -the gun isn't to blame. the killer is. you sure about that, dude? the firearm. it's possessed. -so that's why it's being turned on a human being in an act of aggression. so the killer isn't to blame? in this case and in this one case only, the gun is to blame for this senseless violence. aah! seems like that's not the only gun that's possessed. -i don't want to die. what do we do, dude? outlaw all firearms? impose strict background checks on those who purchase one? no way, that would impede the second amendment and i'm not about to re-write the constitution. -no! no! no! oh, thank god! aaah! -we'll be right back. so how did you know my exact fetish? i got into your brain when you were sleeping. aaah! aaah! -i just don't think calling your employees "rat's dung" is going to make the coffee any hotter. well, what would you call them? we're here with gillian jacobs and if you're just joining us, i believe our studio is haunted. -perhaps i can help. who are you? i am a medium. whoa, you can talk to ghosts? yes, i am a medium. -uh, between a small and a large, uh-huh. i look forward to receiving my big dog t-shirt. ooh, sorry about that. hello. i am mangina and i am a medium. -whoa, you're between a small and a large? yes, and here's something i have never told anyone: i am a medium. whoa, you can talk to ghosts? just like the ghosts that are haunting your studio. -evil spirits, be gone. be gone! oh, they're coming. be gone, evil spirit! be gone out of here. -oh, my goodness. oh, this is scary. oh, no! now i'm not gonna get my big dog t-shirt. oh! -whadabubo! whoa, that medium fit into a small jar. all right, it's time to get to our next guest. he's our neighbor who lives up the street from me. please welcome maximilian blanc. -hello, sir. and a curtsey to you. yes. all right. mr. blanc. -welcome. yes, here we are. yes. it's wonderful to be back here on a hollywood talk show. now, yes. -you live up the street from me. you're my neighbor. yes, hollywood friends. sometimes it's a neighborhood connection that allows you to come on a program like this. well, you're not necessarily on the program to talk about acting as much as i've been noticing that a lot of our neighborhood, including those in the hoa, have a bit of an issue with the state of your mansion. -yes, of course. some would call it dilapidated but i have exquisitely calibrated the level of dilapidation to my taste. really, so that old junky house that you live in. yes. that's calibrated to what you like? -yes, everything in my manse is designed to be a memento of my life in the theater. i've brought with me some of the complaints. oh, sure, let's hear some of these complaints. when you say you brought them, what do you-- i've compiled them in a tome, of course. -oh, gosh. wow. oh, my, my. "we find that mr. maximilian blanc"-- that is i, star of the screen-- that's not in here, i just want you to-- you added it. -yeah, i know, i know. "find that his estate has fallen into disrepair." they complain of the ruins of a marble birdbath. you know, you have a broken birdbath out in the middle of your front yard. birds might not like it but the bats and rats are quite content with the water and sludge that's available in the birdbath. -that is not making it better! mm. they complain of bodies strewn about the property. corpses on the property is a problem. these wax corpses are merely meant as mementos of my life in the horror cinema. -yeah, but it's a nice neighborhood where children live. children are merely dead people at their earliest stages. that's true. that's a really morbid way of looking at it. that's a disturbing laugh and i'm not sure why you re-shut the book. -was that just for effect? silence, lest i call down powers from you know not where from. call 'em down! very well, i shall. oh. -it's time for the cursening. i don't think we need to curse anyone. let all who live near within sight of my manse at 86115 north orion dr-- perhaps i shouldn't give the real address? you didn't say the "v" in "drive" so i think you're okay. maybe we can do an adr. -that sounds good. i promise we will. let all who neighbor a certain address be cursed. let each of their tuesdays feel like wednesdays. let you whenever you so leave your house do constantly believe that you've left something there that will never be found. -and most of all, may your residual checks be delivered unto an address where you no longer live. oh, that's the most horrifying one of all. we'll be right back. are we quite done? take that, you scamp. -well, during the break, our seniors arrived and now they're about to take a tour of our hauntless house. welcome, guys. thank you, scott. we're so excited to be not scared. oh, great. -don't get too excited. well, we're also sad about our good friend herman who died when he visited you recently. we assume it's from non-fright related reasons. oh, yes, definitely. it was from old age. -well, of course. did you know that old age is the leading cause of death amongst us oldies? everyone evacuate your bowels and the studio! wait. wait. -i know what's happening here. father peters, catholic church ghost division, retired. i've been here once before. aaah! we haven't much time. -let us all pray. i remember how this goes. i need a vessel to contain the demonic presence. a vessel? where am i gonna get-- deus ex machina! -mary's lucky jar of pennies! my one-cent coins! hear me now, demon. i vanquished you once. i will vanquish you again! -oh. it is finished. scott, you must make certain that jar is never opened again. uh, i think i got a way to make sure no one in hollywood ever opens up this jar ever again. aw. -scott. huh? huh? the wolf dead. absolutely. -john: well, this is it. if grandma were here, she'd be proud we were doing this. if she were here, she'd tell me i look fat in this dress. and that my beard is a health hazard. -she smelled like compost. i liked her. she had candles. all right. let's get it over with. -we bury her with her rock collection? i-i'm gonna drop her, guys. some help here! i swear this wasn't me. do you know what this announcement is all about? -it's jane's news. just tell me. i'll act all surprised. did i mention that i'm doing rounds at the clinic now? i'm gonna see three patients today. -okay. good for you. what's the news? i don't want to spoil it. spoil what? -your announcement. you didn't tell her, did you? i would never! all right, what's going on? i need to know. -um... i'm gonna be an instructor at the fbi. the fbi! the fbi? yeah. -in washington, d.c.? yes. i'm leaving the force. i thought that you would be thrilled. i mean, i just never considered that you being safe would... mean moving 500 miles away. -343... nautical miles. it's 7 hours and 7 minutes via route 15. well, that's still really far for a cup of coffee. there's still a lot of details to work out... my... my background check, things like that. i haven't told bpd. -i just, you know, wanted you to know. i-instructor. i'm proud of you, janie. yeah? yes. -i love you. i love you, too. i've never been to washington, d.c. it's just like any other big city. where you can sit in on a session of congress. -or see the world's largest collection of the bard's works. what's bard? who cares? okay, don't say "the bard." no... -nobody says "the bard." all right. well, the smithsonian has an exhibit on modern medicine in the great war. pass. oh, come on. -it'll be fun. angela, tell her. yeah, well, it wouldn't kill you to have some culture, janie. but janie don't like buildings where she can't touch the walls. honey, you're the fbi. -you can touch anything you want. okay. come on! phyllis henderson, 88... natural causes. today is her fu... was her funeral. -party crasher. who is he? we're running prints. he obviously didn't have his wallet on him. yeah, can you get a tarp and cover them up? -the family's right there. the family's okay with it. i asked the oldest grandson if he recognized our victim. he said, "maybe grandma used him for food." and in this scenario, was granny a cannibal or a vampire? -either way, they're good. you know, the ancient egyptians believed that burying them together would ensure that they're together in the afterlife. well, maybe granny will knit him a cozy. yeah, a loincloth for the afterlife. it looks like he's been dead for about 12 hours. -this is a very odd wound. it appears that he got run through with some sort of cylindrical object. and he's very clean. yes, but a wound like this would have bled profusely. the family said that the funeral was at mason funeral home in mission hill. -they had the casket until the hearse picked it up and brought it here this morning. i hate funeral homes. sorry, mrs. henderson. i'm sure someday, all of you will look back on this and laugh. some sooner than others. -hi, grandma! oh, what a wonderful surprise! ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! where's your daddy? hey, ma. -i was feeding the meter. hey, don't "hey, ma" me. why didn't you call? i had no idea you were coming. we wanted to surprise you. -t.j.'s been asking about you. and i needed to see some rizzoli faces besides the one in the mirror. oh, are you a bad liar. how do you know? you got spies in chicago? -oh... hey, teri. this is t.j. and you know, teri's got some ice cream in the back. want some? -yes. yes. so... lydia met somebody else. oh. -yeah, i just... felt like it would be best to make a clean break. i'm sorry. i'm sure this is a difficult time for you. yeah, it has been, but we'll get through it. -just need to figure out what we're doing next. all right. i'll tell you what you're gonna do. t.j.'s having some ice cream. i'm gonna make you a sandwich. -and then we'll go to jane's townhouse. she's got an extra room. are you sure? i mean, it's two of us now. tommy, if i told you once, i've told you a hundred times... -there can't be too many rizzolis! missed you, too, ma. okay. for the record, when it's my time, not this. anything but this. -i've always wanted to see a viking funeral. what, like burial at sea? yeah, but they light you on fire first. i'm in. yeah. -may i help you? yes, uh, we need to speak to someone regarding phyllis henderson's funeral, please. that service was this morning. mr. mason, our owner, handled those arrangements. do you know where we could find him? -i haven't seen him. korsak. excuse me. is this mr. mason? yes. -is everything all right? is there a family member we could talk to? uh, yeah. his sister's in the prep room. thank you very much. -something tells me this case is gonna be a weird one. mm-hmm. ugh. it's freezing in here. he probably doesn't mind. -hello? woman: i'll be right there. korsak. is that blood? -could be castoff. oh. oh, that would make a nice murder weapon. could we be standing in our crime scene? hello? -kate mason? yes. can i help you? my brother's body was in mrs. henderson's casket? yes. -i'm gonna need to ask you a couple questions. when was the last time you saw your brother? last night, around 8:00. he was finishing with mrs. henderson when i left. why are they taking my trocar? -your what? trocar... it's used to suction fluids out of organs in the abdominal cavity. well, it's possible that your brother was stabbed with a similar object. csru found this in the incinerator. that's sam's apron. -they burned his clothes? why would someone do that? probably so he couldn't be traced back to your funeral home. who else has access to the prep room, besides yourself? sam and i are usually the only ones who go in there. -it upsets most people. wait... are you asking me that because you think i had something to do with this? i did not hurt my brother. -we said good night, and i went bowling. that was the last time i saw him. we'll need you to confirm that. of course. you should talk to that woman he's been seeing. -what woman? i saw her pick him up after work a few times. i figured he had a new girlfriend he wasn't ready to tell me about. would that have been typical of him? no. -he didn't really keep secrets. and he'd been jumpy about it, you know? like something was on his mind. all right. we'll be in touch. -are you sure it was him? yes. i'm sorry. hi. thank you. -nurse: mr. gomez, please come in. the doctor will see you now. hello. i'm dr. isles. -uh, they don't really speak english. we were waiting for dr. hope. i'm sorry. she's out of town. i'm covering for her. -dr. hope has always been there for our family. well, i'm her daughter. i'm not as experienced as her, but i'll do my best to help. _ is this ana? -yes. doctors at the hospital say that she will die, that there's nothing that they can do to help her. hello. she's beautiful. according to her bloodwork, ana has biliary atresia. -her liver is failing. it could be related to her autoimmune system. we're not fully sure, but it is terminal. can you help her? well, currently, there is no treatment for this condition and no cure, so i'm afraid i have to agree with ana's other doctors. -the best we can do is make her comfortable. until she dies? uh... well, her alkaline phosphatase tests... do you mind if we pray for you? -of course not. but i must emphasize... the prognosis, it's... it's out of my hands. we agree. it is in much higher hands than yours. _ bless the doctor, bless the baby. -_ bless my family. _ please help us. _ thanks for my sister. _ thanks for my family. i can't believe sam was murdered. -it's awful. his cellphone records show that you two communicated a lot lately. that's true. cleaning staff at the funeral home said they saw you there last night. i was supposed to meet him, but he was gone by the time i arrived. -were you there for a date? what? i'm a broker. he hired me to sell his business. the funeral home? -yes. he said he wanted to sell as quickly as possible. i had an offer from a big chain mortuary, and i was bringing him the papers to sign. did he say why he was selling? he said he was fed up with the business. -i figured they had money problems. a lot of these places do. he was in such a hurry to sell. he told me he'd even sell undervalue if necessary. what did kate mason have to say about that? -who? his sister and business partner. he never mentioned anything to me about a business partner. he said he wanted out as quickly as possible. he was trying to sell the family business from right under her nose without telling her. -and for no apparent reason. the funeral home was in the black. so were his personal accounts. maybe he was just sick of it. well, i get that, but why not tell the sister? -he was trying to rip her off, and she found out? barista: here you go. yeah, and then she stabbed him with the... organy suctiony thing. trocar. -yeah. yeah, yeah. thanks. her alibi checked out. she was bowling. -till 10:00. i mean, she still could have done it. okay, this is, like, 90% foam. what is yours? what? -i got an interesting call earlier this week. yeah? from the fbi, vetting their newest hire. i was gonna tell you about it. when you handed me your resignation? -n-no. when the... the time was right. which is when? which is when i can think about not seeing you every day and not cry about it... which is... not now, so... okay, this is a $5 cup of crap! -just so you know... i think what you're doing is really great. really? i'm happy for you. and i don't want to make you cry, but... -i'll miss you. what'd you tell them? oh, i gave them a thorough character assessment. what does that mean? hi. -do you find anything? not much, but i did confirm that the blood spatter on the ceiling was his. well, that's something. actual cause of death was transverse thoracic impalement, likely from the trocar. how gross is that thing? -well, i'd say it's rather innovative. i mean, how else would you propose draining fluids from a body? i don't. because i'm having a viking funeral. mm-hmm. -korsak is gonna shoot a flaming arrow at my dead body on a boat and just... "fzzt!" rizzoli bonfire. that's not really how norse funerals are done. party pooper. fine. -is that it? uh, forensically speaking, yes. but i do have something else you might be able to use. oh? the fact that the victim was a funeral director reminded me of a case that came in from essex county about six weeks ago. -the victim was stabbed to death and thrown into a grave. and it turns out that the grave was dug for a casket from mason's funeral home. stranger still, the body was embalmed. wait... aren't all bodies embalmed? -no, uh, not the deceased person in the casket, but the murder victim in the dirt. huh. that's a twist. can you tell if the same person embalmed both bodies? well, the technique used for both bodies was the same, so in my opinion, yes. -would you say said person was sam mason? i might, if i could see records of his most recent work for comparison. done. ooh. how'd it go at the clinic? -uh, a family prayed for me to help their baby. is that a bad thing? it's a very grim case, so i just don't see what good it could do. well, that's between them and whomever they're praying to. i'm a doctor, so i don't believe... -i know, but... can't hurt, can it? i've been dealing with essex county homicide. their murder is still unsolved. did they give you any information you can use? -ben norton... he's 22, unemployed, lived in roxbury with two roommates. did he know our victim? not that i can confirm. but he and kate mason attended the same college in fairfield, connecticut. doesn't mean they know each other. -they might have. okay, so, kate mason knows ben norton and kills him for some reason. she then asks her brother to help her dispose of his body? sam mason embalms the body to buy time and then ditches it when the next funeral comes their way? but then what? -he just freaks out and wants to sell the business so he can get away from his sister? could be, but she finds out about it and gets rid of him. but she can embalm people herself. why rope her brother into it? guess we're gonna have to ask her. -i have no idea what you're talking about. i don't know this person. you didn't cross paths with ben norton at fairfield college? not that i'm aware of. yet, you know that his body was buried in a grave that was dug for one of your clients, correct? -i knew that a body had been found in essex county, that there was an investigation. okay, but you didn't mention that when we spoke. my brother just died. i was thinking about him. that thing in essex never even occurred to me. -but you see the coincidence, right? this victim died of stab wounds. your brother was stabbed. both bodies were found in graves for clients of your funeral home. yes. -i guess. who inherits sam's share of the business now that he's gone? our parents are dead. i guess i do. so i guess it's good that the sale didn't go through, huh? -what sale? sam had an offer from hilldale holdings to buy the mortuary. the woman you saw him with was a broker. sam would never sell me out. we were partners. -what do i have to do to convince you i didn't do this? you can help us solve this thing. we would like the information on every body that you and your brother embalmed. fine. am i gonna need a lawyer or something? -that's up to you. do you have something you feel like you'd like to hide? hey. the funeral home sent over their files. i, uh, just left them on your desk. -thank you. how's the baby? her breathing has become erratic. yeah, well, that's to be expected, isn't it? yes, unfortunately. -you know, i've read every pediatric journal in print, and i can't find anything to help her. i know. i know empirically that there's nothing i can do, but... i just can't stop feeling responsible. i'm sorry, maura. -me too. yeah! aw! beat me again! this kid's like a shark! -so, when do i get to meet ron, the handsome cardiologist? oh, whenever you want. he's around. you really reinvented yourself, huh? well, so did you. -plumbers' union... that's a big deal. i'm happy you finished your training. chicago's been good to us. chicago's too far away. -i needed to get away. i felt smothered here. by who? by me? no. -you know, i just had to be on my own, grow up. well, you grew up. i'm proud of you. thanks, ma. now it's t.j.'s time to grow up. -yeah, he's growing up so fast, he's giving me whiplash. aren't you? and he's gonna beat you again. oh! you know, if you move back, i could help you with t.j. -no smothering. i don't know, ma. i'm just putting it out there. i mean, it's your decision, and i'll respect it. you want to stay here with grandma? -yes. oh, no! you beat her again! really? ! -are you kidding me? ! all right. so, two d's. okay. -and last name... what are you doing? the fbi called me for a background check. i'll have to call you back. i was gonna tell you. -it's okay. i understand. you wanted to wait till everything was final. but, you know, i realized that after you leave, i'm not gonna be able to come in here and hug you whenever i want. -you never come in here and hug me whenever you want. until now. what? oh, god. no! -what... just... what did maura say? well, she ruled out the sister. based on what? -the sister was left-handed. that means she had a completely different embalming technique. sam did the embalming. they're positive. she was telling the truth. -mm-hmm. i cross-referenced the funeral home records with those from local cemeteries. there are some gaps. "omissions" are probably more accurate. these are cemetery records... -burials of caskets that came from mason's funeral home. but some of them don't exist in mason's files. somebody's scrubbing the books. to make it look like these funerals never happened? yeah. -i'll get a ground-penetrating radar team out to the cemeteries whose records don't line up with mason's. hey, is smitty in today? it's korsak. do not hug me. nice day for an exhumation. -this a recent mason's funeral? well, according to the cemetery, yes. but according to the funeral home... it never happened. the burial was nine days ago. -our radar team got an anomalous reading. it looks like the corpse has two heads. i wonder if that's how frankie put it in the warrant. how are you doing, by the way? well, we have another cemetery to cover after this and the mausoleums. -i meant about jane leaving. i'm struggling, to be honest. i'm happy for her, of course, and i'm sure it's the right decision. but you don't want her to go. is that very selfish of me? -if it is, we're in the same boat. man: detective, i'm ready. at least the poor girl still has her clothes on. korsak: -in all, we've found four bodies in other people's graves or caskets... sam mason, ben norton, now greta shaw and anne hart. so he's a serial killer? well, if we go down that road, ben norton was probably his first kill. -he was sloppy... just dumped him in the dirt. then the next two were planned more carefully. he waited for a funeral to come along so he could put the victims' bodies into the caskets. decent theory. -we know he was embalming them. why do that? well, he worked for the mob or a hit man. how did he get mixed up in that? i don't know. -but whether or not he killed these people, i know he didn't then kill himself and jump naked into the casket. true. so, if we figure out who killed sam mason, we might be able to find who killed the other three. hey. -hey. i heard about jane's fbi decision. how are you doing? okay. by which, you mean not okay at all? -well, denial's working in my favor right now. it's hard to imagine her leaving. can you picture this place with only one rizzoli in it? you're all the rizzoli i need. hi. -kent: hey. you know, it's been a while since i've been up this close and personal with an embalmed body. you can hear yourself when you speak, correct? i meant when i was at school, jane. -oh. spent a lot of time with old gertrude. gertrude? it's his medical cadaver, not a weird girlfriend. mm-hmm. -she was a great old gal. you know, she donated her body to the university 'cause she always wanted to go to medical school. mm. think i've got a picture of her somewhere around here. okay, hi. -uh, can we talk about these two bodies, please? yes. so, we conducted side-by-side autopsies, and both bodies had stab wounds on the upper-right abdomen. but the actual cause of death was dry drowning. sounds painful. -it is. the lungs become unable to extract oxygen from the air... in this case, a result from a puncture wound. so, the killer stabbed these two specifically to puncture their lungs? yes, which is why it leads me to believe that sam mason is likely not the killer. both women have multiple stab marks on their abdomen, suggesting that the killer made several attempts before finally piercing the lung. -so he was guessing about where to stab them. or he didn't have the tools to fatally puncture the lung on the first try. that doesn't sound like sam mason. anatomical expertise defines a mortician's work. okay, so, if sam didn't kill these two, why did he embalm them? -i'm afraid they can't tell us that. maybe he was in such a hurry to sell because he knew that there were more murdered victims headed his way. that's why he wanted out. oh, you guys, i've missed this. mmm. -we're gonna have to hang out as much as possible before you ship out. okay, i'm not enlisting in the army. i am. i am, but, i mean, you know, leaving home is... it's hard. -i get it. now that lydia's gone, i'm, uh... thinking about coming back here. really? that'd be great! yeah. -tommy, i-i-i could talk to the professor. you... you could take over the place for me here. i mean, ma's just down the road. well, it'd be nice for something good to come out of this whole thing. -mm-hmm. mm. but i'm sorry it didn't work out between you and lydia. eh, it's for the best. i mean, i think i'll just stick to the dad thing, leave the husband stuff to somebody else. -all right. well, don't, you know, give up totally. i mean, you guys just weren't right for each other, you know? or maybe us rizzolis aren't cut out for marriage. speak for yourself. -i don't know. ma might agree with him. come on, frankie. look at us. lone wolves. -runs in the family. it's not a genetic disorder. you just got to find the right person. all right. take korsak. -he probably never thought he'd get married again. but look at him now. the guy's never been happier. you got a point. thank you. -you guys are loud! oh! sorry, t.j. i got it. i got it. -yes, we are! we are so loud! hey, did i ever tell you the story about the little green man named yoda? no. no? -! mm-hmm. okay, come on. let me tell you. oh, you're gonna love this one. -it's awesome. have you been here all night? i just haven't been able to sleep. i've been, um, thinking about the baby. were there any changes? -well, they said her color improved a little bit after i had the nurse adjust the fluids and electrolytes. okay, well, that's something. not enough. you now, in homicide, the stakes are high, but... not like this. i just... -i don't know how i'm gonna face her family today. well, maura, you may not have the answer, but you're the perfect doctor for that baby. how's that? because the work that you're doing takes compassion and courage, and that's what that family needs right now. what am i gonna do when you're not here? -you'll pick up the phone. as will i. it's not the same. no, it's not. but we'll get through it, like we always do. -together? i was gonna say "with wine." but... yeah. together. hey. -still working on the connection between our victims. each of them disappeared in the last few months, but there were no missing-persons reports filed for any of them. korsak: transients? not homeless, but they did move around a lot. -so disappearing wouldn't be a red flag for people that knew them. did they know each other? not that i can tell. looks like their cellphone records have exactly one number in common. i'm running the reverse trace now. -please be sam mason. they're models? if our killer targeted young, attractive people in the area, a modeling agency would be filled with victims. and we don't know who he is yet. so a lot of people are still in danger. -i'll drive. my models mostly book print work... catalogs, brochures. they go to new york or i.a. if they have higher aspirations. so it's normal for your clients to just disappear, like these three? well, they stop checking in, i assume they moved on. -it happens every day. is there any other information that you can give us about these three... something they had in common, a reason why someone might target them? well, ben booked a high-end car campaign. greta is my swimsuit girl. -and anne was a domestic diva... diapers, cleaning products, that sort of thing. we're gonna need the information on all the meetings and auditions you sent them on. sure. also an employee list... anyone they might have crossed paths with here. i hate to think of my people in danger. -hello, everyone. how is she? uh, they said that you ordered more tests? yes... hemoglobin and bilirubin. we need to monitor how her condition is advancing. -sarah? yes, dr. isles? when were these samples drawn? last night. do another blood draw. -i also need a cortisol analysis and another liter of fluid. and please call dr. harris at the hospital. tell him i'm bringing a patient in immediately. okay. w-what is it? -well, it's too... too soon to say, but seems to be some marked improvement in some crucial factors. it's happening. i'm sorry? you brought us our miracle. _ we have a miracle here. -well, they're all gorgeous. that's for sure. think that's what got them killed? the agency records... that was a dead end? -these three never intersected on auditions or booked the same job. i was hoping for a shampoo commercial or a newspaper ad... something. like that. look... one, two, three. are they all standing in the same place? -yeah. that's the farmers market on beacon street. well, so that must mean that they used the same photographer. if that's true, they would have paid him for these shots. okay, let's go through their bank accounts. -he's got to be in there somewhere. i'm uncomfortable with this. eddie's a very private man. he's also a number-one suspect in a murder investigation. maybe we could just wait for him to return? -we'd prefer to do it our way. jane: trophies. korsak: yep. -this guy's whole m.o. is a slow death. plenty of time to take pictures. jesus. his calendar says he's got a shoot booked right now. farmers market's a couple blocks from here. -perfect. now turn away from me and look back. it's just, i have this mole. very easy to touch that up. really? -let's, uh, take these back to the studio. i'll show you how i do it. okay. police! frankie: -out of the way! out of the way! out of the way! move, move, move, move! you got him? -yeah. get up. get up! you know you're gonna miss this part, right? yeah. -yeah, i am. kate: we've known eddie for years. his parents were killed in a car accident when he was 16. sam looked out for him after that. -sounds like your brother had a big heart. in his confession, did eddie say why sam embalmed those victims, why he didn't go to the police? because of you. me? eddie had told sam that if he stopped helping him or if he went to the authorities, then he would come after you. -he was trying to protect me. yeah. your brother loved you very much. i guess that's the most important thing to hang on to right now. sure. -hey. you got my text. yeah. i wasn't sure you actually used that. all the time. -i got this app on my phone that tells me what's overhead, and then i just use my handy telescope to find it for myself. what are we looking at tonight? uh, cassiopeia. ah, the african queen. famously beautiful. -but poseidon banished her into the sky for her vanity. seems like there's worse punishments than being up there. oh, yeah. you're right. prometheus gets his liver pecked out by a bird every day for all of time. -yeesh. how do you know all that? i like myths. yeah? they're epic, you know? -mm-hmm. it's all passion and romance and love that spans eternity. this is great. it's perfect. i agree. -do you? 'cause right now, looking at you under the stars... what, about liver pecking? i... i want us to be like this forever. -nina holiday will you marry me? yeah? yeah. yeah? i got the rolls. -okay. okay, i need another beer. i got it. who gave him sugar? ma? -i gave him some juice. what kind of juice? a... popsicle. a popsicle? -ma, you can't give him a popsicle for dinner! look, there need to be some ground rules if we're gonna be living here. you mean it? yeah, the professor said yes. so, my daughter is gonna be out of harm's way. -my grandson will be living right next door. wow. what about your son? yeah, what about your other son? yeah, we're gifts from heaven, too, right, ma? -yeah, yeah. shut it and eat your bucatini. you okay? oh. yeah, i'm sorry. -i'm just distracted. the baby's improving, right? yes... on every level. and her labs are almost normal. most people would say that with a smile. -i know. i know. but it just doesn't make sense, and i'm having a hard time accepting it. okay. come with me. -where are we going? just a place i like to think. uh, we'll be right back. okay? uh, ma, we'll be right back. -we'll be right back. oh, yeah. crouton hoops. hit me. hit me. -one. ohh! yeah! ohh! that was amazing! -okay, cut it out. cut it out. don't let him... don't show him that. come on! -teri, bring me the broom. i know i should just be happy, and i am. ana is gonna live a long and healthy life. it's just... it bothers me that i can't explain it. -you know, maura, some things don't have an explanation. yeah, but the science was indisputable. there was no reason to expect an improvement, much less a recovery. and yet it happened. well, i'm not gonna say it was a miracle. -sometimes, i like to play a game... "what if it didn't happen?" for example, what if my apartment didn't burn down? then you wouldn't have moved into the professor's townhouse. exactly. -and then tommy and t.j. wouldn't have a place to live that's close to ma. i like this. do another one. okay, um... what if you didn't have your brain injury? -if i hadn't gotten hurt, then maybe i wouldn't have pursued other experiences, like working at the clinic. and that baby wouldn't have had you there. so, everything happens for a reason? whether we can explain it or not. we're all... part of a bigger plan. -it's a very unscientific explanation. maybe. but it... helps me get through things. like leaving home? yeah. -i'm gonna need more science to make myself feel better about that. okay... yeah, no. i got nothing. well, i'm still not gonna say it was a miracle. -i can't breathe... natalie? i'm investigating judge natalie rodman. do you remember her? does anyone ever forget the person that ruined their life? -she sent a lot of kids to an intense program on some pretty light charges. she had mark duff fired. she should have reported him. meredith! no! -mark duff? what can i do for you? there has to be something, we just can't see it. there's a couple cat hairs on the underside of the couch. so where's the cat? -interpol has asked me to apply for a secondment. i think i'm leaving on a jet plane. feels weird, though, 'cause i've never walked away from a case before. last time i checked, there wasn't a statute of limitations on homicide. _ -hey. looks like there's a line-up. i hate line-ups. what's a girl like me got to do to get into a place like this? not. -one. scratch. no, sir. you know, you would look really good on my arm. usual suspects inside? -"not one scratch." have the valet bring my ticket to the vip lounge. all right? that's not our valet. hey! -yeah! _ _ you are a mind reader. what is this? -soy latte. we've been eating too much crap lately. you know just because you're cold, doesn't mean i have to put a sweater on, right? shut it and drink your soy. what do we know so far? -caretaker arrived this morning, discovered that the chopper was running, saw what was left of the victim and called 9-1-1. damn. so, what is this, the owner? the owner andrew findley is away on business. we've got a john doe. -wow. excuse me, doctor, any opinion on the cause of death here? this guy is definitely a front runner for the darwin award. dr. gorman, i'll take it from here. -thank you. we think the victim walked into the tail rotor. we're going to run a full tox screen find out if he was inebriated at the time. can you run a tox? we'll find a way. -hey, honey, how was your boys' night? it wasn't a boys' night. i was teaching thomas how to run the mixing board. how about you? i pulled an all-nighter, too. -babe, you work too hard. i finished a big case last night. take some time off. you've earned it. yeah, i need to catch up on my sleep. -see you tomorrow? okay. love you. i love you, too. bye. -_ pardonnez-moi! excusez-moi. ou est le, um... le... -where's the grocery store? there's a store three blocks back. oh, hey, you speak english. i speak english. it feels so good to finally have a conversation. -i feel like i haven't spoken english in forever... i know the feeling. oh, you've got an accent. i like it, where's it from? eastern europe. -oh. ukraine. i'm from canada, born and raised. then i woke up one day, and i just decided i was going to move to paris. living your dream, huh? -yeah, it's the worst decision i ever made. this is supposed to be the city of love. i don't speak the language, so i haven't met a single friend. i find that hard to believe, a woman as beautiful as you. oh, thank you, victor. -how do you know my name? _ _ bon travail, eh? bonne nuit. -merci. au revoir! bonjour? hi, uh, i'm looking for agent angie flynn? uh, you got her. -hey, angie, paula mazur. is this a bad time? uh... no. no, it's a good time. how are you? -hey, look, we caught a homicide. we thought it was an accident at first, but there were some stray hairs at the crime scene. they were in the system, grey cat hairs. judge natalie rodman's killer resurfaced. technically, it's still your case... -yeah. i guess it is, isn't it? hey, oscar, surprise, i'm in town. give me a call when you get a chance. thanks. -i got it from here. come in. ah-ha-ha... detective flynn. or should i say... -agent. so, when did you take over? about six months now. so, how's interpol? i hear they offered you a second tour. -you going to take it? all these questions, are you sure this isn't internal? it's homicide. and paula and mitch are down in forensics. they'll be back soon. -i'm sure they can get you up to speed. careful with that. i'm always careful. it's really good to see you, gavin. oh... -his name is liam. oh, he is so cute. he's almost three years old. well, our victim, trent mcallister, is 59 years old. mcallister owns international bailiff services. -they specialize in high-end repos. the guy actually repossessed a freighter once. yeah, but according to the bank, the helicopter was bought and paid for. sergeant lucas. agent flynn. -i'm surprised internal cut you loose. yeah, all i have to do is prove that you're willing to take a bribe. how was the honeymoon? emma got food poisoning and the airline lost our luggage. how's jack? -he's, uh, he's really good. i can't believe it's been three years. i know, it feels like we were just investigating this case last week. you talked to vega? not since the wedding. -oh, come on, don't give me a hard time. i was in paris, and i sent you guys that nice waffle-maker thing. i would love to sit around and talk about baby photos and weddings all day, but... all right, all right, we've got to talk to mcallister's assistant. may i sit in on that? -yes. i need you two to start looking for a connection between our new victim, judge rodman, and mark duff? and meredith wright and nature bound. hey, babes. what the hell happened? -oh. i went for a run, i got hit by a cyclist. why didn't you say something? does it hurt? you know what, let's get that checked out. -this is why i didn't say anything. now kiss my boo-boos and make me feel better. i dropped trent off at the findley estate before dawn. he was going to get the bird and go at first light. your boss was gone for two days. -that doesn't bother you? sometimes, trent took liberties with the recovered property. last summer, he sailed around turks and caicos with a yacht he repossessed. why was trent taking andrew findley's helicopter? according to the bank it was paid for. -it had $50,000 owing on it through the fordham leasing company. call them. a career like trent's, he must have made a few enemies. the closest thing trent had to an enemy was his daughter, and she already treated him like he was dead. there's an '84 learjet in the dominican that needs getting. -the bank is offering 10% commission on the resale value. that's because they'd be lucky to get $350,000 for this hunk of junk. nah, counter with a flat fee. anything else? uh, just your signature. -she's your daughter. the least you can do is send her a birthday card. every year, i send her a card... i send the card. and every year, she sends it back, unopened. -if you want a relationship with her, you're going to have to make the first move. someone has to be the adult. she blames me for everything. well, she kind of has a point. shanelle, i was just trying to protect her. -i'm getting another beer. you want anything? there must be a better way to describe these tox-screen results. "this dude was driving dry"? try again. -"his blood was in designated driver mode?" thank you, dr. kenwood, i'll take it from here. hey, hey. the hardest thing about becoming chief medical examiner is finding my own replacement. as for you... -listen, it was last minute, otherwise you would have been the first to know. mm, the second, but you still get a hug. oscar's going to be thrilled. he's been wanting to talk to you. i talk to him all the time. -in person. oh, my god, are you guys getting married? are you fighting over who i'll stand with? married? no. -but i think i should let him tell you. okay. fordham leasing is a fake. as far as i can tell, it only took our killer a month to fabricate a fully-functioning leasing company. that's smart and methodical, just like rodman and duff's killer. -i looked into our victim's daughter, bali. she was dating this guy, duncan anderson. trent mcallister accused him of raping his daughter, bali. so, the father accused the boyfriend of raping his daughter? mm-hmm. -that caused the rift. well, she went on to marry him. the andersons are on their way up with their legal team. that's oddly proactive, isn't it? there they are. -so, tell me, what's going on? tell me everything. uh, it's... it's good. you know, it's busy, but it's good, and, um, i would love it if you would come work for me. what? -yeah. i need a full-time investigator. look, i was going to do this right, too. i was going to take you to dinner, i was going to woo you, -i was going to be very, very charming, but betty told me that she might have piqued your curiosity. are you really offering me a job? mm-hmm. wow. oscar, i'm honoured. -but... well, i just, i wasn't expecting it, and it's a big decision. yeah. no big deal, take your time. you know, get back to me by tonight. -oh, please. okay, let's shift gears. what's going on with these people? okay, when bali was 16, her father filed sexual interference charges against duncan. how old was he? -he was 19. that's not a very big age difference. yeah, he was also assistant basketball coach at her school. you were in a position of authority. no, he wasn't. -mrs. anderson wasn't on the team. we're only three years apart. and it was completely consensual. then how did you get caught? i got pregnant. -my father wanted me to have an abortion, and i refused. so he pressed charges? i was in prison when our son was born. a case like duncan's is exactly why i started the tabula rasa society. yeah, except that duncan's not stuck in prison for a crime he didn't commit. -yeah, but he's had to live with the label "convicted sex offender" his whole life. he applies for a job, he's got to tell people about his conviction. no banks lend him money. a couple of months ago, somebody spray-painted "rapist" on his house. -yeah, that's enough to make me snap. the andersons are good people, angie, they need my help. you know? you can all go to hell! -okay, so, i'll talk to you later. yup. what, uh, what happened here? i asked them where they were when bali's father was killed. when i told them that duncan and i were at home, they treated me like i was a liar. -did they? or were they just asking who could corroborate your story? thomas was at the radio station for his work study. we are not involving thomas in any of this. look, we may not have a choice. -he doesn't know. he doesn't his grandfather is dead? he doesn't know he was alive. duncan went to jail because of that man. you really think i was going to let him have a relationship with my son? -no, i-i get that, i understand that, but don't you think you guys should tell him? you know, before he finds out from somewhere else? hey. hey, thomas, buddy, you got a second? sure. -what's up? whoa, whoa, whoa. what is that? nothing. it's nothing... -oh, my god. that's it, that's it, i'm going down to the school. no, no, no, mom, that only makes things worse. it never ends. we will get duncan exonerated. -sure. no way, you're making that up. i'm telling you, the "ghostbusters theme" and "i want a new drug" are the exact same song. no, they're completely different. -lexi, what do you think? i think you're both a couple of music nerds. hey, you fill out that application yet? what application? well, lexi found this radio arts program in ontario. -and young thomas is going to apply. maybe. i mean, it's pretty expensive. i bet there are scholarships you could apply for. and having a reference letter from a working dj wouldn't hurt your chances. -who says i'm writing him a letter? oh, you'll write it, if you know what's good for you. _ keep driving. i've got an idea, let's go for burgers. -thanks, but i should get home. they're probably going to want my help cleaning this up. thomas... thanks for the lift. mr. vega speaks highly of you. -you don't sound convinced. well, we've learned the hard way that cops can't be trusted. i can understand that mistrust. oh, really? you've been railroaded by any cops lately? -when i left homicide, i joined internal investigations. now, i have seen a few bad cops. but mostly, i see good cops that have made poor decisions. let's just keep this simple. -where were you between friday night and saturday morning? bali and i were at home, watching tv... okay, what did you watch? uh, a nature documentary. penguins. -it was pretty depressing. talk about a harsh existence. it's inspiring how they overcome the odds. we went to bed around 11:30. we got up at 8:30. -can anyone verify that? just remember what mr. vega said. no. thomas was at work. when was the last time that you spoke with your father? -18 years ago, right after duncan's trial. i told him he was dead to me. and there's been no other contact with trent since then? some birthday cards, that's about it. that's it? -that's it. hey, duncan, we talked about this, right? bali can't know. she can't know what? i called trent a couple of months ago, to ask him for money. -for thomas. he wants to go to college, study radio. i thought if i could convince trent how important it was to his grandson, that maybe i could get him to help out. without your wife knowing. does she have to know? -look, obviously duncan's reluctance to discuss his meeting with trent is no indication that he murdered him. no, i don't think duncan killed trent. uh, angie... right, so you agree, that he's not a suspect? well, you know, i can't discount his involvement just yet. -but you're not feeling it, right... angie. yeah? we should probably discuss this back at the station. okay, all right. -we gotta talk to the son, though. great, no, i'll set it up. okay. nice to see you guys. yeah. -you did? that sounds fun! okay, mommy has to go now. bye-bye. love you. -so, what are we doing here? i put a flag on stolen car reports... because our suspect used one when they killed mark duff. nice. well, the findley estate is only, what, five clicks from here? -if this isn't our suspect, i'd be surprised. if this is our suspect, i hope they left us some actual evidence this time. maybe. uh... no. -don't count on it. looks like someone cut out one of the airbags. probably to remove any cast-off dna. this person is smart. yeah, and possibly injured. -driver's seat, grey hairs. yeah, if this person was really smart, they'd invest in a lint roller. okay, let's get f.i.u. out here. this car belongs to our homicide now. i didn't kill my grandfather. -they just have a few questions. how many times did you and trent meet? uh, only a few. okay. did you see your parents on friday night? -no, i went straight to the radio station from school. and how long were you there? um... i hung out with shawn for the night shift, so i left at about 8:00 a.m.... and who's shawn? -he's one of the radio djs. he's mentoring me. did you see your parents when you got home? uh... yeah, i woke them up. -so... you're grandpa. yup. grandpa, that's me. i never thought i was gonna hear anybody call me "grandpa." thomas, i've waited a long time to meet you. -what did your parents tell you about me? that you were dead. oh. surprise. so, what happened between you and my mom? -your mom and i are... very much alike. too much. your dad tells me you're into music. yeah. well... -apparently, these have got the best dynamic range. yeah, these are great. thank you. wow, um... my dad says you're a repo guy? -yeah, that's one way of putting it. what's the coolest thing you ever stole? i don't steal. i recover stolen property. a tank. -a tank? you stole a tank? i recovered a tank. where's this waiter? hey, buddy! -dr. morgan, you're still here. i wanted to take another look at the mcallister case. anything interesting? maybe. this portion of mr. mcallister's palm, see the indentation here? -mm-hmm. what's your theory? well, at first we thought it was damage caused by the tail rotor, but... there are similar indentations on this piece of his neck. it could have been caused by a piece of wire, like a garrote. if he put his hand up to stop from being choked. -good work. i'll see you in the morning. thanks. angie, it's betty. i've got some info for you. -hey, anderson. you a perv like your dad? you like to rape girls, too? he teach you everything you know? see you at school tomorrow. -thomas, again? really? we talked about this. i thought we agreed. no more violence. -hey, hey, let it go. it's going to get better. when? everyone knows the police searched my house yesterday, asked me a bunch of stupid questions. went through my clothes. -they must have asked three times if i have a pet. have you thought about the position this puts shawn in? what? the police looking into your family. you're a kid. -he's a grown man. what are they going to think? i don't know, he's my friend. you're my friend. but you know how people talk. -they don't care about the truth. and once they start talking... you too? unbelievable. you know what, lexi, don't worry about it. -have a nice life. so, we don't think that thomas or his parents killed trent. oh, great. that's great to hear. thank you. -yeah, except that leaves us with no suspect. yeah... you think it has something to do with mcallister's job? well, we cleared all the debtors that mcallister repossessed property from, so, no. ah... -i wish i could help you. yeah. you can. how? i'd like to speak with everyone here at tabula rasa who's connected to duncan's case. -you can't suspect one of my people. well, no, i just think maybe one of them might have said someone to someone else about what trent did to duncan... so, what, like, a vigilante? that's your theory now? i'm following up on all possible leads. -okay, uh... then you just leave it with me, i'll get back to you. yeah, you know i can't do that. yeah, and i can't let you go on a fishing expedition. well, it's not a fishing expedition if one of them actually said something to the wrong person... -none of my people would break attorney-client privilege. i'm just trying to build a case. i know. i know that's what you're doing. help me out. -i'll tell you what... i'll tell you what, you want to come back, you want to talk to somebody here, you're going to have to come back with a warrant. okay. okay. thanks for your time. -it's interesting... here. it went against every instinct that i had not to give angie the information she was asking for. you're used to being on the same side. yeah, but i have an obligation to my staff. -if i break that... you can't. i can't. and angie understands that. you know the problem. -the problem is that vega's just doing what he's supposed to be doing. you're just used to doing it with him. mm-hmm, i know, but it's not like he doesn't know what i gotta do. i've gotta put a case together. i've gotta keep reminding myself that she is my former partner. -you both still want the same thing. you guys are just coming at it from different angles. how'd you get to be so smart? hmm? right, so why are you so mad at him? -because... i'm frustrated. she's here one week. that's what makes it harder. hey. -hey. ouch. what happened? nothing, i just got in a fight at school. this guy won't leave me alone -one of those, huh? your dad didn't teach you to defend yourself? he says i should just keep a low profile. come on. what? -the only way to deal with a bully is to kick his ass. let's go. hey. thomas told me what you said. how could you do that to him? -i'm just trying to protect you. no. first the bike accident, now this? i don't know what's going on with you, but if you can't be honest with me, we don't have a future. shawn... -okay, so the police are convinced that your father's death is connected to your conviction, which is why i need a list of everyone who knows what trent did to you. um, everyone connected to the original case, i guess, but i don't recall anyone being in my corner back then. well, is it possible that thomas found out, before he was questioned by the police? no, absolutely not. duncan? -of course not. but i can't speak for trent. what? you talked to him? when? -when i asked him to help pay for thomas's education. bali, i want thomas to have every opportunity i never had... bali... please. it's my fault. -i should have told her. well, we, um, we gotta find out if thomas knows. my son did not kill his grandfather. no, i know that, i know that, but he may know the person who did, and i can guarantee that, right now, the police, they're wondering the same thing. thomas anderson? -the kid's a rock star. he re-organized our music library. he helps out in the news room pulling stories from the wire, and he's even pitched a couple of segment ideas to our morning djs. he ever talk about his personal life? no, not to me. -maybe shawn bailey. he's one of our djs. thomas was kind of his unofficial protege. he was? yeah, thomas cut his hours back. -he said he had to earn a bit more money for college. oh, what was he doing? repo work, if you can believe it. yeah, i think we can. i already told you that we're not treating thomas as a suspect. -well, then this shouldn't be an issue. okay, so all of the recording devices have been cut now. no one else is listening. it's just us. may i? -please. thomas, you told me you only met trent a few times with your father. go ahead, thomas. that wasn't the whole truth. oh, i know. -you've been ditching work to hang out with him. only for a few weeks. and then what changed? i found out what he did to my parents. did you tell anyone what he did? -just... just lexi. shawn's girlfriend. okay. what's her last name? moore. -lexi moore. how did we miss her? she's got no criminal record. well, she was only clerking for our first victim. stop beating yourselves up. -we know she connects to rodman. yeah, who connects to duff. what else? she's a mediation lawyer at newman and associates, where andrew and linda findley settled their divorce. she had access to the helicopter, she was dating shawn bailey. -who is friends with thomas anderson, our victim's grandson. she's connected to everybody. except meredith wright. no, but she knew her. watch, we'll find that connection. -i already talked to a detective about thomas's alibi. we're not with homicide. we're with internal investigations. is that detective in trouble? well, it depends. -can you tell us what you told him? um, friday night, thomas hung out with me during the night shift. he was here until around 8:00 a.m. i was here till 11:00, and then i went home. -did detective kennecki ask if anyone could verify that? a roommate? a girlfriend? i don't remember. i don't think so. -can anyone vouch for you? i live alone. i didn't see my girlfriend... ex-girlfriend... until the next day. -oh, i'm sorry to hear that. what happened? i have no idea. i don't know what's going on with her lately. she got hit by a bike and didn't even tell me. -when did that happen? saturday morning. so, you lived on palmer street? for almost 50 years. i loved that house. -such a nice neighbourhood. do you recognize this woman? how could i forget lexi? she and her father lived next door for years. i babysat her after her mother died. -you ever see her in the neighbourhood with another girl? meredith wright? oh, yes, meredith. she lived with her aunt. you're not a fan? -well, meredith was a bit of a wild-child. she got caught shoplifting, and i was glad the store pressed charges. i thought, well, this should knock some sense into her. hmm. did it? -well, kids like that never change, but lexi still hung out with her. i was so worried meredith would drag her down, too. thank god lexi has such a strong moral compass. definitely. -hey, stranger, i heard you were working for your grandfather. yeah, that didn't really pan out. everything okay? no. -but it'll be fine. more trouble at school? listen, i gotta go. just wait. shawn's off in five minutes, we'll grab a burger. -thanks, but i've got homework. at least let us give you a ride home. lexi moore. hi. i'm detective angie flynn. -we met three years ago. i remember. how are you? i'm very, very good, lexi. there you go, that's for you. -this is all circumstantial. well, the judge found it compelling. come on in. right through there. now, is it okay to leave the door open? -because i don't want any pets to getting out. oh, the cat's long gone. i think a coyote got it. aw, i'm sorry to hear that. be sure to check under the couch, because that's where we found the evidence in meredith wright's apartment. -the cat hair found at lexi's house matches the cat hair found at trent's crime scene and the stolen car. and the cat hair from meredith's place three years ago. she was our killer then. she's our killer now. i'm not arguing with you. -lexi moore got the warrant overturned. the judge said your parameters were too far-reaching. we can't use anything? fruit from the poison tree. we can still arrest her. -yeah. let's just let a trial judge decide what evidence is admissible. i tried that. the prosecutor doesn't want to take the risk. then we just have to work harder to find another connection. -sergeant lucas is more than welcome to stay on board for as long as that takes. but i'm not? interpol wanted you back yesterday. hr booked your flight. you leave tonight. -it's out of my hands. i can't go now, not when we're this close. everyone knows that you got us here. but we will finish this. you have to go. -i'm sorry, flynn. and i'm going to need your firearm. angie, it's oscar. so, listen, i don't like the way we've left things. can you call me, please? -thanks. hello. manny? hey, it's me, oscar. is your mom there? -no, did you try her cell? no, i tried. she didn't answer. i was hoping to talk to her. she said she had an errand to run. -okay. ask her to call me when you see her. this is starting to feel like harassment, detective. i'm sorry. i came to congratulate you. -you got that warrant overturned very quickly. you're a good lawyer. i'm busy, so if this isn't going anywhere... you do know there's no statute of limitations on homicide? i am aware of that. -and i'm not retiring any time soon. i admire your commitment. thomas really reminds me of meredith. he does. a troubled kid, dealing with the fallout of decisions that adults have made, adults who should have known better... -you know, i've got something on the stove. i just have one question. so, your boyfriend, shawn, he called you early saturday morning, didn't he? i'm sure you've seen my cell phone records. i have. -when you got that call, were you still at work, or were you at home? home. you know, i'm going to check all the cell phone towers, find out where that call bounced from. so, are you going to shoot me, or just let me bleed out? -shut up. well, this did not go the way i planned. i said shut up! have you ever noticed how sometimes things don't go the way you plan? how are you going to justify this, lexi? -self-preservation. lexi? don't move. angie? she left a few hours ago. -i understand that, but i talked to manny, and he said that she was running an errand on her way home? she didn't say anything about an errand. she wasn't happy, though. saunders is sending her back to paris. but you guys have a suspect. -lucas, you know i'm not asking. angie's not going to leave town without resolving that case. lexi... please. you shouldn't have come here. why'd you kill trent, lexi? -for thomas. he's just a kid. thomas, why do you have a gun? he made me think we were friends. he made me like him! -who are you talking about? trent! everything is his fault! the beatings, the name-calling... calm down, you're not making sense. -he told the police that my dad raped my mom. your grandfather? you know why he did it? he didn't want her to make a mistake. i'm that mistake! -i'm going to make him pay for what he did to me and my parents. i'm not going to let you do that... give me the gun. no. then i'll find another way. -i had to stop him. i couldn't let him become a monster. he doesn't know how easy this is. lexi, put the gun down. lexi... -drop the gun! angie... call an ambulance. hey, hey. hey, hey, partner, i got you. -stay with me, angie. stay with me. i feel... no, no, stop talking. call an ambulance! -stay with me, angie. i think i made a mistake here. no, no, don't talk, just... angie... you sure you're up to flying today? -well, i'm a little sore, but i should be okay. well, i figured we had a couple hours before we left, so... so, about that job offer... oh, yeah, no, about that, -i'm rescinding that offer. you don't want me to work with you? i want you to work for me, i just don't want to be the reason you quit. well, i got stabbed, so i can legitimately quit if i want to. no, i know, but you don't want to quit. -you don't know that. i don't want to quit. you don't miss it at all? no, not at all. i miss you. -i miss you, too. i can only do one more tour with interpol. i think i might want to do that. so, hey, look, anything can happen. anything can happen. -kai... kan...

(laughs) son, you're dreaming. -i'm not going to lend $500 on a whim, let alone $5,000. and given the state of your mom's mortgage, i don't think now's the right time to be getting further into debt, do you? you just can't drift through life like it owes you a living, andrew. it doesn't. -my advice? head over to the mill and ask stan o'reilly for your old job back. at least it's real. andy: you're the only supplier in the state, so i'm hardly going to screw you over, am i? -you'll have your money by the end of the month. bob, i guarantee it, okay? i just need a few blanks on tick to get me into the game, mate. i don't know. how's 20 sound? -yeah. fantastic. all right. great, see you then. 20 blanks on credit? -i must have sounded like i actually knew what i was talking about. all those years of bullshitting might finally be paying off.

(laughs) you cannot beat the man by becoming the man. -yeah? no, i'm just thinking big picture. what's wrong with that? all right, guys, good sesh. catch you later. -i'm just shaping surfboards, brother. that's all i'm doing. ha! gussy!

(mimics waves) (exhaling) (both laugh) -booah! he's living the dream. what are we doing? you can't buy what he's got, yeah? especially if he's not selling. -where'd you learn to do all this? raising sons. they went through clothes like you wouldn't believe. just, you know, made sense to make all our own stuff. at least they're both boys. -probably just hand stuff down, right? yeah, i wish. those two, they're like chalk and cheese when it comes to their taste in things. really? yeah. -when they're not, look out. it can get ugly. (dog barking) (honking) didn't expect you guys back so soon. -manage to sell anything? ta-dah! where did it all go? inside barrels all the way from here to esperance. they saw the film, went nuts. -it was like a feeding frenzy. (growling) - (laughing) it's unreal, man. yeah, it is. what's this? -aw, it's a little something for getting us off the ground. plenty more where that came from. (exhales) mmm. what time is it? -a little after 3:00. i should go. you could always just stay here. nice try, andrew kelly. good luck tomorrow. -andy: as you can see, sales projections, comparisons with overseas competitors, ideas for new products down the line. the challenge here, andrew, is that you're asking for a business loan. but what you're talking about is a leisure activity. either way, we just sold out our entire inventory. -out of the back of your kombi. you said to start thinking like a businessman. that's what you said. that's what i'm doing. we lend to farmers because they grow crops. -people need to eat. where exactly is your market? are you kidding me? 95% of aussies live on the coast. our gear makes living on the coast better. -i would have thought our market was pretty bloody obvious. andrew... that's just here. now we can reach people all over the world, mr. grumley. look, andrew, i hear what you're saying. -how? i'm sorry, james? how can you hear what he's saying when you've got your head shoved so far up your own ass? i thought that went well. unbelievable. -what? i was doing you a favor. you gotta be a farmer or a logger to score a loan in this town. you gotta get a haircut. they're never going to give us a red cent because we're on the outside looking in. -you know what? i'm cool with that. (parking brake clicks) - (engine stops) j.b.'s right, man. you can't buy what we've got, especially if we're not selling. -(door shuts) j.b.: i've been wanting to bust this out since i got back from indonesia. (grunts) and on the eighth day, god created this java lava. -stickiest hash this side of lebanon. (laughing) (exhales) ooh. are you serious? you brought hash back from indo on a plane? -sure did, officer. it was too far to paddle. (laughs) who's got a light? (all laughing) -oh, it is on. (man singing in indonesian) man: and it was in that moment, man, that i realized the past is behind you. and in front of you where that wave stretches all the way out, that's the future, man. -(spits) righteous, huh? (all laughing) hey. i've got no idea what i'm looking at. -oh, it's all bullshit, really. basically it means we're never going to make ends meet working out of a backyard shed. to really make it work, we need what they call the economies of scale. you like that? read it in the paper. -it's just a fancy way of saying, the more boards we make, the cheaper they are. so we either expand or we fold. there's no in between. i don't suppose you got a rich uncle you can sponge off? i don't even have a poor one, mate. -all right, enough business. i'm getting a drink. you want one, percy? oh, thanks, love. (motorcycles revving) -(laughs) whoo! hello. what do we got here, sweetheart? take a good look, boys. might be the closest you get for a while. -i don't know. keep talking like that and i might take a closer look before the night's through. what do you say? sweetheart, i wouldn't fuck you with his dick. (laughs) -oi. oi! come here, you skank! lani: andy! -(crowd screaming) lani: andy, watch out! (shouting) get off, you animal! -ahh! fuck! lani: jimmy, watch out! (both shouting) -(grunting) ah! lani: stop it! come on, mate! -come on, surfer boy! lani: stop it! come on, wax head! hey! -hey! lani: stop it! (gunshot) you know, i think that's just about enough of that. -(grunts) hey! it's got two barrels for a reason, brother. (spits) small town, andy. -let's go, boys! you all right? yeah. have a good night, wax heads! i'm good, man. -that's right, everybody. peace. (rock music playing) all: whoo! -lani? lani? lani, what the hell are you doing? are you... are you kidding me? -i had that totally under control. how was i supposed to know? i had a life before i came here, andy. i told you that. okay. -i've dealt with that type of dickhead all my life. all right. i don't need you or anyone else trying to look out for me, all right? all right. -look at your face. take it easy. big tough guy, coming to my rescue. ow! i get it. -bunch of cavemen. i'll still have to thank him next time i see him. yeah, for what? ow. hey, look what i found. -gus: hey. what's all this? gus: check it out. -(lighter flicks) my cousin's from torquay. and he reckons it lets him see right inside the wave. it's radical, huh? you want first go? -maybe later. gus: it's all the more for us, mate. ha! (girl laughs) -you can have first go. okay, cool. hey, gussy, don't worry about him. ha. delightful rain -makaha. (softly) makaha. (laughs) what? what? -it's a place, you idiot. (laughing) it's where i grew up. i can see why you left. looks awful. -it does okay. you miss it? not right this second. (footsteps approach) j.b.: -lani? yeah? (andy laughing) quick surf before breaky? uh, yeah yeah. -i'll be right out. good. (lani giggling) (laughs) (squawking) -(birds chattering) (people chattering) perce? absolutely not, mate. nah. -your payout's meant to support you in your retirement, not invest in the fucking surf business. it's not for you to say. i mean, all that stuff about economies and scales and what have you. who knows? you might be on to something. -percy, the bank took one look and laughed us out to the street, mate. i think they know a little more about smart investing than you do. i've been around the block. i know a good thing when i see it. i've even found the perfect place. -ah! oh. ha! crafty old bugger. (laughs) -oh, great, fellas. thanks. just put it here. oh, hey. hold on, hold on. -mass production, here we come. oh, relax, comrade. it's a sewing machine, not a conveyor belt. check it out! fancy. -know how to work it? no idea. (both laugh) mr. grumley? great day, eh? -uh, yes, lovely. thanks, andrew. hey, thanks for suggesting the name. it works perfect, eh? hey, grumley! -you ning nong! (laughs) looking good, jim! aw, jim, that's beautiful. hey, get a photo, will you, love? ah. -come on, let's have a photo. (all agreeing) this is either the start of something cool, or the beginning of the end. kat: oh, for god's sake, get in the photo. -go, go, go, go! gus: cheese! (snaps) hey! -all right, before you go, i think this is a good opportunity for me to give the rousing speech you're all expecting. here we go. none of you will be surprised to hear that i don't know the first thing about running a business. i thought they were generous letting you finish secondary school. thank you, mom. -smile for the camera, over here. still, i reckon we've got to have some rules. right, jim? what are we, girl guides? the first rule is this: -when there's surf, we surf and when it's flat, we work. and guess what? (rock music playing) yeah! thanks. -(dog barking) hey, uh... everything all right with jimmy? yeah, why? i don't know. -he's just acting a little weird. aw, he's fine. you, on the other hand... i'm gonna need you to work back late tonight, miss kealoha. of course. -anything pressing, mr. kelly? i'm sure i could think of something. (banging) hey, mom, are you back here? kat: -tony hemsley, you should be ashamed of yourself. you all right? yeah yeah yeah, i'm fine. you sure? yeah, yeah, yeah. -what is this about? no idea. i think you do, son. the whole town knows what you lot are into. what i'm into? -this is bullshit. you got nothing better to do than hassle innocent people? andrew? i didn't know surfing was a crime just yet. it's not about the surfing, young cock. -andrew! mom! a little bird told me about the other business you're into. what other business? come on, mate. -i've had an eye on your hippie mates ever since they moved to town. and now that you lot are all so cozy, i'm gonna keep an eye on you lot too. got it? good. -so now i've got cops asking questions about drugs in my factory. huh? just breathe easy. center your chi. eh, fuck your chi. -relax. they got nothing on me. they got nothing on you. they know about the drugs. they don't know shit. -small-town cops. just be cool and they'll get bored and go away. and what if they don't? you get to pack your bags up, you sail on out of here. we live here. -so? so. so you threaten that, you threaten me, man. you got that? yeah. -andy? in through your nose... (inhales) and out through your mouth. (spits) (door slams) -i don't do credit, man. never have. mate, it's for tina, but. (laughs) she's cool, right? -tina? yeah. why ain't she here begging me for a taste, huh? stick to the weed, man. hey, mate, i get paid next week. -there's got to be something we can do. and you know, andy, he doesn't have to know anything about it. (cue hitting) (barking) oi, come on. -oh! we don't open till 10:00, tom. you're not scaring any customers away until then, mate. how long you reckon they can keep this up for? longer than us. -great. gus turned up yet? no. maybe he's got a bet going with the cops... see who can put us out of business first. -terrific. (planer buzzing) hey. hey. you gotta be kidding me. -how the hell am i supposed to compete with that? you know, sunny's won the smirnoff two years running. i can't get a pro to pick up the phone, let alone wear our gear. well, if you ask me, i think it looks kind of stupid. yeah, right. -i'm serious. they're trying to get a surfer to look like a model. i don't know why they don't just shoot him doing what he's good at. (wave crashing) thanks for coming. -yeah, well, you should thank lani. sure you're up for this? you know, we can wait for it to drop off if you want. and why would we want to do that? it's perfect. -(both laughing) check out the big balls on andy, huh? about time you grew some. jimmy: all aboard! -(breathes heavily) you know they call it the morgue for a reason, right? well, if you're not up for it, jim, just say so. i won't tell anyone you turned down the chance to surf a mountain. aw, fuck it. yeah! -(grunting) come on. what happened? it's impossible. way too much water moving under me. -you know, the north shore boys reckon the hardest part isn't riding them, it's catching them. (laughs) go, go, go, go! andy: go, go, go, go, go! -(wave roaring) haaa! whoo! whoo-hoo! whooo! -yeah, boy! yeah! whoo! whooo! (both laughing) -hey! did you see the size of that last one? yeah. he wasn't riding giants in the ocean king ad. i'll tell you that much, mate. -that was another level, man. one last one while we're here. nah, it's getting hairy. we got your shot. come on, man up, will ya? -you got your publicity. let's go, huh? righto, keep your shirt on. close enough, man. come on! -j.b.: you're gonna flood it! (motor starts) let's go, let's go! come on! -we got too much weight. jump! don't you lose that! ahh! man: -no worries, boys. man 2: careful next time. andy: thanks, fellas. -man: see ya. andy: sorry for the hassle! yeah. -oi! j.b.! oi! (crickets chirping) you coming in or what? -jimmy: no. can't do much till gus shows up. (thunder rumbles) no point shaping any more boards without a glasser. -gordon: it's just a mock-up. the ad agency's still tweaking it. so a real pro event? uh-huh. -the top surfers from all around the world here in this tiny town, with huge waves. it's a big chance for ocean king to step onto the big stage. we've already booked sunny townsend as the face of everything. sounds like a great opportunity. which i want to extend to you. -see, i know how hard it is setting up your own business. i also know there'll be a whole lot of hoopla going on around here during the contest. so i want to make you an offer... i want to give you guys first crack at stocking ocean king gear here, in your shop, on credit. wow. -gee, thanks, gordon. um, probably not right for us just now. k-mart want in. i'm stalling them, but i can't hold them off forever. yeah, well, you've got to do what you've got to do. -you... you are kidding me, aren't you? ocean king and drift... could be the perfect fit. just not right now, gordon. lots of work to do, mate. -(scoffs) well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me. just don't leave it too long. g'day. can i help you? -how you goin', mate? looking for a gus doran. does he work here? that's debatable. i got a delivery for him. -30 blanks. wanna sign this for me? do i have a choice? 30 blanks? thank you, gus. -sorry, man. he's killing me. (car approaching) finally emerges. thought i'd lost you there for a while. -hmm? still no sign of gus. it's almost two weeks now. i'm starting to get worried. you know, when i was his age, i used to disappear for months. -he'll be fine. yeah, nice seeing you too, j.b. (car starts) (car departing) (engine stops) -(jimmy whistling) (lock rattling) (phone ringing) drift surf gear. andy, i found gus. -he's, uh... he's real messed up. all skin and bone. you still there? yeah. -he's not good, mate. i don't know what to do. i'll bring him straight over, all right? take him to the hospital, jim. don't bring him here. -(panting) andy! (rock music playing) j.b.: he'll get worse before he gets better. -staring at him won't help. jimmy: feeling any better? yeah. i'm good as gold, mate. -do you want anything? yeah yeah. could you take me back with you? gus... please? -i don't think i can handle it out here on my own. ah! (laughing) yeah, we've been through all that. just stay here, yeah? -enjoy the zen. oh, come off it, man. j.b.: what, man? oh, i could just have a home-cooked meal, you know, a proper lie-down, i'll come good. -hey, of course you will, man. do it down here, away from all the other shit. yeah, well, i'm fine, mate. yeah, you're the perfect picture of health, man. (laughs) -hey, listen. hey, hey, hey, hey. tough it out here for the weekend. yeah? i'll come back, we'll go for a wave. -all right? cool? gus: hmm. yeah, cool, james. -(planer buzzing) (car doors close) saw the light on, thought somebody might be knocking off the joint. yeah, good luck to him. there's nothing to steal. -hmm. might have missed your calling. well, necessity's the mother of invention, and all that shit. is he all right? he's down the coast. -he'll be fine. right. you know, it wouldn't kill you to ask for help, yeah? (planer buzzing) morning, mrs. kelly. -good morning, tom. how are you? mmm, bit nippy. god, it's bloody cold, isn't it? (buzzing) -(grinds) (stops buzzing) what the hell? do you want to come in and warm up for a bit? no, that's really not allowed. -well, just come inside for a cuppa and then you can get back to it. technically i'm on a stakeout here. oh, for god's sake, tom, it's a cup of tea. it's hardly hash cookies. (laughs) -you still want to know why the cops trashed our place, did you? calm down, mate. calm down? ! there's several kilos of heroin here. -there's a cop parked out the front. wonder where he got the idea from, huh? surfers have been moving their stuff in boards for years. i didn't invent it. we should have been clearer with the fuckin' rules! -it's not my responsibility, you fucker! jimmy: whoa, hang on, hang on, hang on. someone's definitely gonna miss this. listen, we've got to help him right now, not throw him under a bus. -he's one of us. he's a junkie, jimmy! he's using our factory to import heroin! have you got that in your head yet? fuck, man, he's family! -grow up, jim! he's put our family at risk. he's put you and me, mom, everyone at risk, everything we've ever worked for at risk! yeah, you're doing a pretty fuckin' good job of that all by yourself. ah! -j.b.: hey! you're a real chip off the old block, aren't you? andy, you there? kat: -jim, you all right? jim? j.b.: yeah, he's fine. just the planer caught an edge, whacked him on the nose there. -just the whole vibe's just changed right now. the vibe. peace, brother. hey, i just brought tom in for a cup of tea. it's freezing out there. -one step ahead of you, mom. g'day, tom. milk, sugar? (panting) been looking for you. -(panting) (crying) haven't got all day. yeah, well, you know, maybe it hasn't come in yet. i spoke to the supplier. -it's been delivered. stop wasting my fuckin' time. relax, mate. i'm... (exhales) i'm just saying that you hope... (laughs) i just hope it hasn't been shaped and sold already... maybe i'm not making myself clear. -that gear belongs to some very heavy people. right? there's not much they won't do to get it back. which puts me in an awkward position, do you understand? oh, i underst... -ah! do you understand? ! hmm? well? -okay, yeah. fair enough. fair enough, yeah. i get it. i'm sorry, man. -i took your stuff. excuse me? i took your stuff and i went through it all. the lot? what, two kilos in a week, you blew? -i'm so sorry. (laughs) (grunts) don't you fuckin' lie to me! oh! i took it all, you dickhead! -do i look like a fuckin' idiot to you? hey? ! (groaning) (gasping) -tomorrow you're going to come bring me my gear. because if you don't, i'm gonna come back here and i won't be as forgiving next time, do you understand? yeah. (grunts) gus: -oh! (coughing) (crying) (wailing) lani: -how's the nose? (jimmy breathes heavily) it's still there. well, i guess that's something, right? how did we end up here? -welcome to the real world. screw the real world. i'm gonna get out of here. i'm gonna grab gus and leave, go up the coast, somewhere hard to find. just leave. -what do you reckon? (rock music playing) (song continues) (all cheering in unison) can i get you a cup of tea, kat? -(sobbing) kat? hey. i'm fine. just a little bit wobbly today. -okay. hey, it'll be all right. i promise. yeah. i'm sorry. -this is really stupid. i'm not usually like this. i'm fine. cup of tea would be lovely. all right. -thanks, sweetie. (woman vocalizing) (sighs) jeez, that's a bugger, isn't it? hello, andrew. -how you holdin' up? me, i'm fine. terrible business, gus. ah, he was a good kid. i liked him. -bet you he'd be pissed off to know that he's left you in the shit, eh? i don't know what you're talking about, mate. come on, don't waste my time, mate. it was him who came to me, offering to get my product delivered to your factory. that's news to me. -oh, well, that's just a minor detail. what's a major fuckin' detail is it never got to me. so now it's real simple... you either give me my gear or you give me my money. what do you reckon? -what about you go and get fucked, we call it even? hmm? fair enough. ha! you know, in some fucked-up countries, they'll chop a bloke's hand off for stealing another bloke's gear. -ah! (motor revs) that's a silly place to park. i wouldn't do that if i was you, you fuckin' hippie. take a long time to forgive that. -i guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. let him go. (revving) (grunts) don't make me ask your mom, andy. -(andy moans) lani: you have to go to the police. andy: and say what? -that i'm in a feud with the local bikie gang over a drug debt? which is not yours. it was delivered to my factory. i even signed for it. okay, then call gordon king. -his offer is pretty reasonable considering... considering what? i do that, then i become gordon king. you're nothing like him. he never surfed a day in his life. -it doesn't matter, lani! we're not selling out. that's the point. tell her, j.b. tell her. -she's right. sometimes you got to exploit the system, yeah, or the system's going to exploit you. it's darwinian, man. we adapt, we survive and we move on. (clucks) -what the fuck are you talking about, after all we've been through? having come this far? grumley: is everything clear? any questions, kat, feel free to drop me a line. -then sign it and return it as soon as you can. hello, andrew. you're making a very wise decision, mrs. kelly. mom? andy: -hey! you really thought i'd agree to that, did you? it's not up to you. the house is in your mother's name. i think you'll find it's a very fair price. -what, the exact same amount we paid for it 12 years ago? the market's been very flat. andy! you thieving prick! andrew, enough! -safe travels. andrew, this way we get to pack up and start again somewhere new. we're not going anywhere, mom. i know about miller. lani told me. -i know about the whole thing. we fought for years to say that we live here. all right? and you're telling me that we're going to run away with our tail between our legs? without so much as a fight? -a real fighter knows when to stand his ground and when to walk away. i thought you'd worked that out by now. andy: it'll sort out the bank, it's gonna take care of miller. your ankle won't handle it. -think about it. these are pro surfers from all over the world. you'll be lucky if you even qualify. it's $5,000, lani. which you have zero chance of winning. -you think i'm gonna roll over for these pricks, you've got another thing coming. this is real. miller is not going away. exactly! would you stop? -what? you can't fix this on your own. okay? you can't. not this time. -if jimmy were here, it might be a different story. yeah, but jimmy's not here, is he? you know the trouble with being the last man standing? you got no one to share it with. woman: -come on, come over here. have a good surf, man. hey. hey. is this the place to register for the qualifying events? -yeah yeah. what's your name? andrew kelly. uh, nah, i've got a james kelly. yeah, that's my brother. -i just want to compete in the open qualifiers. it's a pro event, so qualifying heats are invite only. sorry. price of popularity, i'm afraid. hey, what do you think? -too big? she reckons you're not holding an open qualifying round, gordon. i'm afraid not. seems everyone from sunny down wants a crack at the five gs. we are drowning in interest. -so what difference would one more make then? you scared an unknown might scoop the pool? (chuckles) jeez. you know what? it breaks my heart to see a grown man beg. -hey, i can't help you out there, though. good luck. announcer: day one of the ocean king qualifying round, with some heavy waves out the back, connecting right through to the inside bank here. (all cheering) -(rock music playing) let's have a look. big set coming through here. turning and paddling hard is the seacliffe local, andrew kelly. oh, it's a very low take-off... -no, he's made the drum! he's crashed right down through the lip! oh, this is tremendous stuff. he's looking for the pocket. oh, ho ho ho! -heavy wipe-out there from andrew kelly! gee whiz, that's not going to impress the judges. i reckon he's already trailing on the scoreboard. looks to be a little out of his depth in this building six-to-eight-foot swell. there's only seconds to go now, folks. -last chance for one lucky surfer to step up and score enough points to make it through to the main event. oh, ho! top stuff! coming from behind to snag the big wave of the set, let's take a look. ha ha, he's done it! -picking up enough points on that last ride to scrape through to tomorrow's competition round. he's got to be stoked with that result. but with the best surfers from all over the planet, including world #1 sunny townsend, all lining up for a crack at the 5,000 bucks first prize, well, things just got a lot tougher for the local lad. lani: thought you said this place was hard to find. -jimmy: not hard enough, obviously. it's like the moon up here. you must really love your own company. what's not to love? -(laughs) andy's going to surf the pro, bad ankle and all. you serious? mm-hmm. figures he stands a shot at winning the five grand. -you know, try and get miller off his back. oh. good luck to him. yeah, he'll need it. seen the forecast? -big swell due to arrive at seacliffe tomorrow. not sure andy knows what's about to hit him. announcer: here we are, folks, the day we've been waiting for, day one of the main event. get ready to watch the very best surfers from all over the world, from hawaii to peru to the u.s. of a., all going head to head with australia's best. -surfers crossing here. asshole. (car beeping) man: hey, come on, mate. -haven't got all day. announcer: believe it or not, for once the weather bureau's got it right. the swell's come up overnight, and now it looks like the sea gods are either smiling or they're really pissed off, depending on your persuasion today. (announcer chuckling) so anyway, buckle up, ladies and gentlemen. -i've got a feeling things could get real bumpy. jimmy: didn't know they had a seniors' comp'. real announcers and everything. how long have i been away for again? -jimmy! (sighs) (laughs) (kat laughs) announcer: -so here we go... draw for the first heat today is harris, cay, harvey and kelly. (all cheering) you qualified? fair dinkum? -all competitors in heat one, please make your way to the marshalling area now. gotta go. andy? i've been surfing perfect six-footers for the past six weeks. -you look like you've been surfing a desk. entries are closed. they're not gonna let you. lani: i've already spoken to them. -they'll let him surf, but only if someone else drops out last minute. look, you dragged us here from day one, kicking and screaming. let someone else carry the load for a while. i've got this, brother. trust me. -(rock music playing) announcer: oh, hold onto your hats, folks. it's the real deal out there today. whoa! -there you have one of those new kook cords the lads are using to hold onto their boards after a wipe-out. can't see 'em catching on, though, if you ask me. announcer: up riding again in yellow is the last-minute substitution, jimmy kelly. kat: -come on, jim! announcer: oh, how about that, folks? ! ferocious final ride from young kelly. -good stuff! ah! kat: go, jimmy! that's my boy. -scorecards are in. you're not going to believe this. winning his way through to the big final round is the local lad, jimmy kelly! let's give it up for jim. (crowd cheering) -andy: it's a shame he's not going to stick around for the contest. lani: he's like a hermit crab... wears his house on his back, pulls his head in when he feels bad vibes. -andy: hmm, fair enough. would it be okay if i threw out a blanket apology for all the stupid shit i've said recently? (thunder rumbles) thanks for coming back. -you still don't get it, do you? what? god, you're such a dumbass. you and jimmy... you're like yin and yang. -one pretty much sucks without the other. i'll take that as a compliment. well, take it however you want. i'll take it as a compliment then. fine, do it. -(thunder rumbles) this any use to you? you fixed it. unreal. he'd have liked that. -(crowd cheering) all: aww! jim, when you're out there today... i already know what you're gonna say, and i agree. -"play it safe, make sure i get into the final, no points for second." all right? i was going to say the exact opposite. you're a natural. j.b. was right. go for it, man. -get into it. it's the whole point, right? (both laugh) - (waves crashing) announcer: oh, jeez, it's not for the faint-hearted out there today. -the brunt of the big-storm swell has arrived. mother nature has really turned it on for the final, folks. (all reacting) a minute to go and it looks like it's come down to a two-man tussle between hawaii's sunny townsend and jimmy kelly. now kelly's only a few points behind, but really looks to be outclassed by the hawaiian, who seems to be in a league of his own out there today. -kat: come on, jimmy! come on, jimmy. get inside him, mate. get inside him! -sunny's all over him. announcer: oh, this is clinical. we are watching a master class on competition surfing right now. oh, that's unbelievable! -sunny's hit the lip really hard then, people, then floated right across the wave. that's ground-breaking stuff there from the big-wave specialist from maui.

-a word you can't get? i have trouble with broccoli. broccoli has always been hard for me to say. broccoli. the slain civil rights leader was eulogized... -oh, wow! did you see that? right on the lens! that doesn't happen every day. that's a lot of bacteria. -i'm sorry, sweetie, you're the best. quick kiss. fuck's sake. now, i know this is tricky, given your relationship, so i'm going to give you the evening to think about it. i forbid it! -you forbid it?

ron! i don't want to drink horse piss! -walter, honey, it's okay. all right. this is some sort of metaphor that your father is using. it's going to be hot, and frothy, and pungent, and it's going to spill down the front of your shirt... stop it, ron! -people are going to be laughing at you! oh, they'll be laughing! i don't want to drink foamy, hot horse piss! oh, yes, you will. you will gulp it down. -and then, ironically, you'll develop a thirst as if you were alone in the sahara desert. it'll be the only thing on your mind. "got to have more horse piss." one time, fidel castro made my father drink horse piss. lupita, you are not helping the situation. -is castro going to make me drink horse piss? damn it, ron! it happens all over the world. we will never, ever make you drink hot horse piss. i promise you that. -listen, son, i've heard those same exact words! and guess what? i always have to drink the horse piss! he's right. i always have to drink the horse piss. -i will lock you in a closet. burns your throat coming down and it burns your keester coming out. i don't want to drink horse piss! veronica, here's the bottom line. it's a very simple decision. -it's either me or the job. it doesn't have to be a choice, ron. don't do this. don't throw away everything that we've worked so hard for. me or the job. -ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 3:10 dolphin show at seaworld. sponsored by enron. enron, meeting your energy needs now and forever. here's your host, ron burgundy. -good afternoon, everyone. and welcome to world-famous seaworld, here in san diago, california. folks, you're going to learn a lot about sea life today. you're also going to learn a lot about human despair. and your teacher's going to be me. -you're also going to learn that in a pinch you can fit an entire ham sandwich in your butt crack. so you can sample it because they only give you a 15 minute smoke break here. let's bring out our world-class trainers here, jesse and paula. thank you. -thank you, ron. i'd like to train you two lil' honeys how to give me a world class spanking. you know there's no drinking on the job, ron. i'm aware of that, missy. there's also another rule here at seaworld, no being a bitch on the job. -okay. so, let's say hello to the stars of the show, chippy and roo-roo! the rat of the ocean, the dolphin. look, they're swimming and doing tricks! -folks, what do you expect? they're dolphins. what did you say? oh, really? you're a big man. -you want to go? i'll punch you in the face. he said he was going to punch a dolphin. you're a punk, ron burgundy! hey, you want to see the other dolphin show? -it's right here in my pants. children and animals hate you, ron burgundy! go ahead, yell all you want! unhand me, you buffoons! all right, first, you gave a gin and tonic to the sea otters and then you stuck your dick in the sea anemone display. -you're fired, you washed-up drunk! guess what, trevor? every morning i get here early and rub my private parts with a sea cucumber. this is the end of the road. i'm not turning back. -i don't know if i'll vacate my bowels. it's the only time i've ever hung myself. it's too late, baxter. my final words? tell the people that i said... -"firetruck." i'm drawing a blank. it's okay, you're a dog. people won't expect you to remember it word for word. goodbye, my sweet hairy prince. evonne goolagong's feminine napkin! -mr. burgundy? hello, i... oh, my god! what the hell happened? i tried to hang myself? -because my life's a mess? and i saw no other option? i think you're telling the truth, but why are you saying it like you're lying? because you're a stranger. and i don't want you to judge me. -yeah, but... it happened right before you walked in. you missed it. oh, well.

a channel that's never off, in other words? yeah. yeah. just 24 hours. -freddie shapp, you are a fucking idiot. mr. burgundy, i assure you we are 100% for real. we've got state-of-the-art facilities in manhattan. and kench allenby, multi-millionaire and owner of koala airlines. i saw kench allenby play at the bob hope classic. -he hit a wedge from 130 out, he put it on the head of a quarter. that guy can play. he's funding the whole network. he believes in it. here. -this is your first week's salary. by the oversized nipples of della reese! we've got a whole news team ready for you. sports, weather and a top-notch investigative reporter. this is a young guy i never heard of. -bob costas. this guy, we'll get his gap fixed, letterman. and jennings. he's a young kid, but they're hungry. i don't think you understand, freddie. -when my wife turned her back on me by letting me turn my back on her for fulfilling her dreams, i knew the news game was over for me. no. you were put on this earth by god almighty to be a news man. how dare you think about depriving the people of that? -the ron burgundy i used to love to watch on tv, he wouldn't take this lying down. what do you say, ron? i'll take the job. and i swear to you i'll be number one again. i'll get my son back, i'll restore my reputation and make things right with veronica. -but more importantly, i'll do what god put me on this earth to do. be famous. ron... you've made my day. -i won't be using these jerk offs, though. i've got the best damn news team in the world. your call. i just have to find them. san diago. -looks like we begin our search right here at home. last i heard, champ kind was fired for being drunk on the air and saying that asians can't play baseball 'cause they're always squinting. who loves chicken? you do! we do! -delicious chicken swing on through meet the crew, hoo-hoo! i'm local san diego legend champ kind, and i believe in two things: good chicken, and that if jesus had a sidearm he wouldn't have been crucified. so swing on by and grab a wing. -'cause when you do, you'll say, "whammy!" byol. bring your own liquor. all right, there you go. one whammy special, with whammy slaw. -there's a used band-aid in my coleslaw. my gosh, let me take care of that. get out of here before i smash your head in, you commie bastard! if you're from the census, you take me off your list! -you never did have much of a bedside manner, champ. ron?

okay. all right. you get back here! -don't be weird! so, harken sits me down to have a man to man. i really don't remember much of it. i was told later, i guess i took a swing at him. i had a knife in my pocket, he got stabbed pretty deep. -i set a fire somewhere. there was something dripping on me, now i got this nasty head wound. turned out, i guess, i got in a fight with some of the crew. okay. anyway, i was pretty insistent i got on the air, but as you can understand, ed had to let me go. -his hands were tied in that situation. fortunately, on the way out the door, i fake a work injury. with the settlement, i bought this place. well, i'm glad to see you landed on your feet, champ. -listen, can i ask you a question? sure. anything. is... is this chicken? -oh, hell, no. it's really impossible to turn a profit if you serve real chicken. yeah. we use mainly bats. what? -yeah. but the good quality kind. that's the most horrible thing i've ever heard. yeah? you got to do what you got to do, right? -so what you got to do is serve fried bats? yep. can i ask you, is there a recipe for the seasoning? the seasoning's the great secret, we use road salt and ashes from a crematorium. champ. -it's crazy good. it's crazy wrong. if you don't like that, you don't even want to know what the french fries are made out of. you're sure as hell right. i'm going to tell you anyway. -please don't. worms, grubs and camel feces as a binding agent. this is a horror show. why don't you have a bite and stop judging it. i'm not going to bite into a fried bat. -it's delicious. it's all tendon. look at it. was that a bat? one gets loose about once a week. -hey, what brings you here, ron? my friend, we've got a job. in new york city. whammy! that's the best news i've heard since i found out you can get high off insect repellent. -you've got yourself a sportscaster. oh, great. denny! lock up! any idea where brian fantana is? -you haven't heard? fantana hit the big time. oh, yeah, you're a dirty little thing, aren't you? yeah, that's it. just play around. -roll around like you're on the bed. hey, i'm not here. no one's here. you're alone. do what you do when you're alone. -what's going on? what is this? what are these balls in my face? that's it. what are these giant balls in my face? -yeah, play with them. swat them around. that's it. i'm not here. none of us are here. -do your thing. that's it. you're not getting any better than that. that's brilliant! yeah, yeah. -hey, brian, you have any time for the little people? hey, brian. champ! how you doing? hey! -wow. this is a... cool it! no, but what i have found is that, you know, you give a cat a lot of amaretto, strangely enough, and they'll sit still for quite a while. oh, hey, look at this one, this one's great. -the experience of shooting that one was transcendent. so much so that i can confidently look into the eyes of any woman and say, "you know what, i know what childbirth is like." and i bet you a woman would like to hear that. look at that little guy in the fish bowl. -i gotta say, it's really great and, of course, it's just so funny. yeah. sad ending to this one though. poor little guy snapped his neck when i was trying to get him out of the fish bowl. stupid. -i used tongs. salad tongs. i don't know why i didn't just use my hand. seems like you could've just tipped the jar on its side and let him crawl out on his own leisure. yeah, hindsight is 20/20. -you know they call cats chicken of the freeway underpass. what? don't indulge him. i never heard that. not a lot of bones in cats. -you could probably just get right at it. you need to stop, my friend. we don't eat cats around these parts, champ. that's a blast. and this one's coming out today. -cat fancy magazine. but not just the magazine. in church rec rooms, school binders, everywhere. it's the biggest launch we've ever had. so why are you guys here, anyway? -well, brian, we're getting the news team back together again. really? and, of course, we want to know if you'll join us. jeez, i don't know. i kind of got the world by the tail here. -i... i don't know if i can. i get it. christ. you're the akira kurosawa of cat photographers. -why would you leave all this? brian! brian! the cover's out! oh, okay. -this is not good. it's a typo. i have to point out that technically speaking a pussy is a cat. i know. that's true. -but i never spend $100 on a lobster dinner for a kitty cat. oh, no! we're all going to die! thanks, champ. i'm not used to driving these multi-axle vehicles. -the question still remains... where's brick tamland? you guys didn't hear? no, what happened? brick's... -dead. brick was lost at sea about a year ago. thought he saw a bird and he swam out to pet it. he never came back. we all loved brick. -sweet brick. one time he introduced me to his parents who were clearly younger than him. skip and donna tamland. they were teenagers. and they were asian. -yes, they were. he'll long be remembered and he'll be sorely missed. thank you, reverend. oh, come on! really? -brick loved to put his feet into pita bread because they're like socks except you can eat them. what? it is hard for me to believe that he is gone. i feel that i just saw him yesterday. you were probably talking to yourself in a mirror. -why? why? why did you take him from us? you're clearly standing in front of us, brick. brick is dead! -no, brick's alive. brick is dead! look at him! he's not dead. he's not dead, brick. -you're not dead. you're brick! brick, it's you! he's dead! no! -you are brick! touch yourself. i am brick? yes! i'm alive? -yes! of course. of course you are. you kind of want to slug him. you want to slug him. -i went to pet the bird but it was fast. so i kept swimming. after a week i landed in an island called aloha. moses on a vespa. he swam all the way to hawaii. -i married a lady and people paid me to catch bad guys who didn't go to court. you were a bounty hunter in hawaii for the past year? yes. i was a bangy hunger in y past gear... you've got a hawaiian wife? -yes, her name's lanai. we have six kids. six kids, you were only gone a year? i'm a bangy hunger. you can be a diaper salesman in duluth for all i care. -it's just great to get the news team back together again. hot damn. do you remember our easter trip to san francisco? and we took that helicopter tour and brick said, "i wish i could fly." and we said, "why don't you try?" boom. -i couldn't fly! he was flapping his arms the whole way down. i ruptured my pancreas. remember the time i took champ's mom to the hospital and then we hit it off and i gave her gonorrhea? champ's mom got the clap. -oh, my god. she was pissed. fantana's a dirty dog. i'll tell you something, she was 78 but she didn't look a day over 74. get rid of the walker and the eye patch, -i'll tell you, she ain't bad looking. good to go. best part of it all, she actually fell in love with brian. how is she doing? she died yesterday. -oh, that stinks. tell her i said "hi." well, i can't because she's dead now. oh, "dead" dead. dead. -she passed away. gonorrhea? you don't die from gonorrhea. you suffer quite a bit. here's the real kicker, and you guys are going to lose it. -do you know what her last words were? "tell brian i always loved him." well, tell her i said hi. no, i can't. she's not alive. -oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. how about the time when i was born and i came out of the vagina? and i was screaming, "here i come. here i come, mom." -how could we, brick, we weren't there. we're telling stories involving the entire news team from the past. oh, what about the time when we were in the binewago and ron told me that i wasn't telling the story right? there you go. that's pretty good. -that was about all of us. not really. man, this just feels right! the news team is back! ron, -brian, brick, me, even baxter! he's naked. hey, ron, who's driving? oh, it's okay, it's on cruise control. who wants some chimichangas, huh? -best thing i ever did was install this deep fryer in the 'bago. hey, ron. cruise control just regulates speed, it doesn't steer. come again? is that a pool of blood or urine i'm in? -these are the guys you hired? hey, freddie! pardon the appearance. quick tip: never put a deep fryer in your winnebago. no, no, brick. -no. there we go. here we are. welcome to gnn. i don't know, ron. -you sure about this place? guys, i know it's a bit of a mess, but trust me, everything will be ready for the launch tomorrow. we've culled the whole country for the best newsmen. there's curtis knightfish from houston. oh, curtis knightfish. -they don't get any better than that. one night knightfish and i got so drunk we drank the fluid from six magic 8 balls. never got the answer. you had to go to the hospital for that, right? oh, yeah, i lost a kidney. -there's diane yahwea from carson city. you know what they call her?

i guess that's funny. i mean... -that is you. i sometimes sound like that, i guess. hey, slugger! what's feeding time for that mustache of yours? brick, what are you doing laughing over there? -get back over here. get over here. come on, brick. so, anyways, that's jack lime. come on, guys. -let's go meet the boss. we'll have separate cameras for you, and then sports and then weather. let me ask you this, freddie, how's the new head honcho?

a two-way street. yeah, double-edged sword here. -it's a two-way double-edged sword. it's only one way. that clears it up. great. let's get your keys. -come on! is there booze in the apartment? of course there's gonna be booze. what are you doing, chani?

i'm over at gnn. -i'm living in the city again. i really wish that you would have called first. look, it doesn't matter whose fault the break-up was, okay? i was stubborn. you were all slutty with mack tannen slinging your ass around in that office. -i played it with calm, cool integrity. but who cares? we're not keeping score. what's your point, ron? the point is... -i'm back home. and i want to spend the rest of my life... honey, who is it? hi, ron. i'm gary, veronica's lover. -it's okay. it's the '80s. she's your ex. she's my lover. let's go inside. -why are you smiling so much? because i'm happy. because we're lovers. okay. i'm sorry. -no one's that happy. would you like to come in? do you want to come in? great. and i have no problem with your situation. -so, is that a gift for me, ron? no, it's not. it's for walter. okay. so when were you going to tell me about gary? -ron. you walked out on me. what did you expect me to do? just sit here and wait for you to come back? here's a news flash. -you would have been waiting for the rest of your life because we are done. all right. good. in fact, i've a got a new lover. oh, what's her name? -my lady? her name is... her name's rick volcano. really? her name's rick volcano? -yes, she's from easter island! okay. ron, this is awkward i know. sitting here with your wife. we make love. -i'm this close to taking an ax handle to that face of yours. oh, ron! so what does this gary do for a living, huh? have you done a background check on him? gary is actually one of the most successful psychologists in all of manhattan, ron. -really sweet. are you reading my mind right now? ron, do you even know what a psychologist is? yes. yes, i do, gary. -you perform in nightclubs with a dummy on your lap. you make his mouth move. you're so believable. actually i have respect for your talent. i don't know how you do it because you're talking out of the side of your mouth and yet it sounds like the dummy's... -you bring that dummy to life. do you really think that a psychologist is a ventriloquist? fuck you. ron! it's okay. -you stop that! he's externalizing. that's okay. no, it's not okay. he's mad. -you knew i was going to throw that punch 'cause you're reading my mind! mom! i'm home! hey, little guy. hey, darling. -hi, walter. hey, dad. i missed you! walter, your father has a gift for you. i have a gift specifically for you, walter. -there's a little card on there. do you want to read it, kiddo? yes. show us how well you're doing in school. "to my dearest sex angel." -okay, i actually believe that that's for me. hold on. let the boy finish. ron. there's more. -"i long once again to be intertwined in your limbs. "exchanging hot breath with you. "i want to have another child with you." mom, i didn't know little boys could have babies. no, darling. -i believe that letter was for someone else. go ahead, open up your gift. there you go. yes, gary. okay, that's actually for me, walter. -no, it's not. it's for walter. it's a superhero costume. what is it? it's "lace man." it's a brand new superhero. -i'm going to be lace man! look, ron. joint custody isn't easy. but what we need to do is rally around this little guy right now, okay? that's never gonna happen. -excuse me? because you, veronica, are unfit to be a mother! need i remind you, ron, that you tried to put our six-year-old son on welfare? he's a perfect applicant! he's unemployed. -if it wasn't for us he'd be homeless. do you ever hear yourself? all right, let's keep it civil in front of the boy. it's bad enough his mother pulled a train on kiss. i was in college! -get your things! let's go. fine. i'm out of here. don't have to tell me twice. -get your things. we'll see you guys later. yes, you will. goodbye, dad! thanks for the present. -goodbye, walter. my little man. you promise to do good in school, okay. okay. and stay away from the he-shes down in the bowery. -ron. i don't think that's appropriate. i'll tell you, those fellas, they got the looks, they got curves, they got the chi-chi's, they smell great, and then at some point in the evening you realize jacqueline isn't jacqueline, she's a jake. okay. -then you got a decision. you're either going to be rude or belly up to the bar for a couple of more belts and make the best of it. do you hear what i'm saying, walter? yes, i do. plug it in, scotty, let it go. -ladies and gentlemen, we are officially connected to the world! wow! look at all those other countries and people... makes you feel small. hundreds of thousands of people, all speaking jibber-jabber, not understanding a word of each other, yet somehow interconnected. -it's a big world! it's a big world much, much bigger than you'd ever think it's a big world full of cities, mountains and lots of different stinks -there's brown people white people yellows even reds! a thousand ways for the word donut to be said there's tacos, sushi -chop suey, pita bread big world big world anyone who says it's small should be kicked in the head! there's karate people! big world! -scarfy headed ladies big world ladies having private time big world a skinny guy! -big world wait a minute. you're not black or asian. what are you? i'm gay. -hey! you forgot to whisper. i'm not hiding it. i'm openly gay. "openly gay"? -i'm not familiar with that term. i'm not ashamed of who i am and i decided to tell everyone. i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. do you eat gay food? -what's the gayest food you can name? kiwis. do you sleep in a coffin? no, that's vampires. are you allowed to be out in the sun? -those are also vampires. are you a vampire? no, i'm gay. if someone puts a pill in your drink, can they turn you gay? maybe temporarily. -where do you get those pills? i wonder what it'd be like to be gay... just for a day? if i was gay for a day there's nothing i wouldn't say -that's the gay way if i was gay for a day i'd go all the way with guys that's the gay way i'd wear a cowboy hat a nice three-piece suit -i'd talk about sports and have a nice drink champ. that's kind of what you do now. that's the gay way if i was gay for a day i'd get bitten by a spider -and then i would have the powers of that spider i'd climb walls i'd shoot web from my wrists and i'd save the girl in distress gay! gay! -gay! i think he thinks gay means being spider-man. i don't know how you would confuse those two things. it's a big world big world much bigger than you think -big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big big, big... world launch in five! let's get back to work. -better go check the ap wire. yeah. haven't got much time. i'm gonna check the box scores. there's lime! -look at him. he's a goddamn prince! man, there's just something about him, you know?

shouldn't you be doing her makeup? all right, guys, that's enough. no, shut up, freddie! -let me handle this one. you listen to me. yeah. i bet you that we beat your ratings tonight. i'm sorry. -i'm trying to keep it together. no, no, no. don't do this. you're on at 2:00 a.m. jack has prime time! -maybe... no. hey, freddie, no, no. hey. i'll take that bet. -what are the stakes? if we lose, i'll leave new york. and i'll never read the news again. stop going "ooh." and if by some snowball's chance in hell -mr. mustache here pulls a miracle out of his ass? you change your name to jack lame! legally. i like this! you're on, stretch. -everyone heard him? freddie, you heard him? yeah. i heard him. this is on like pong. -okay. good. why? why did you make that bet, ron? we've got the graveyard shift! -we don't have a chance! cry! cry! cry! cry! -brick. everyone did it. it's actually a mean thing. good day, everyone! well, yeah, i'm kench allenby. -but this 24-hour news station, this is history. this is like columbus discovering the new world. in the case of australia, my motherland, mad rapists and thieves being dragged to some devil island in chains. getting homesick. but our captain on this incredible voyage is the best newsman in america, mr. jack lime! -go get 'em, jack! didgeridoo! he's such an aussie. i love this guy. you know this bloke here, he is the best man i've ever met. -and you know, as i've always said, if jack lime doesn't like you, well then, brother, you're a real piece of shit. good luck to jack lime! go get 'em, jack! go get 'em! thank you. -and good luck to ron burgundy, too. getting nervous there, compadre? let's do this. did you see him spin on that desk? so great. -all right. quiet on the floor, please. what a day. i bit into the donut and it was full of shit. all right. -all right. we're up. here we go, here we go. in five, four, three, two... good day, and welcome to gnn. -thank you for joining us on what we believe to be a whole new era of news. i'm jack lime, your guide for this journey of events we humbly call 24-hour news. today's top story, mount st. helens. oh, this is just a gimmick. -it's a flash in the pan. really? just remember you said that about margarine, tony. residents are being asked to evacuate the area... that jack lime is one hell of an anchor. -he actually slept with two of my daughters but he is good. let's see here. "global temperatures rise half a degree, "alarm climate scientists." boring. "china could dominate -"the world economy in the next decade." we run that story and you'll be hungry a half hour later. anyone else? i got some nonsense here about the iran hostage crisis. i feel like a nap. -what's this? save 12 cents on macaroni and cheddar dinner. brick, i believe that's a coupon. i think i've got a really good story here, guys. "during my mid-morning bath -"i could feel the gardener's gaze upon me "through the open bathroom window." but that's penthouse forum. you just interrupted him! it's a really good story, freddie. -it's not news. it's news to me. okay, so obviously this is a waste of time. i'm done. all we're trying to do here, freddie, is make the news less boring, and you act like we took a runny dump in your fishing boots. -the news is supposed to be boring, ron! this is serious stuff. you're the one that made this stupid bet! i just don't know why we have to tell the people what they need to hear. why can't we just tell them what they want to hear? -wait, wait, wait. say that again. tell them want ear. feed to ear. no, i was talking to ron. -i said, why do we have to tell the people what they need to hear? why can't we just tell them what they want to hear? and what do they want to hear, ron? that we live in the greatest country god ever created. damn straight! -made him happy. and we should do stories on patriots. diet fads or favorite halloween costumes. why blondes have more fun. and serious investigative pieces, about how much ejaculate is on hotel duvets. -and only the best sports highlights. home runs, slam dunks, touchdowns and no soccer. i like the wind! brick's right. people love hurricanes. -tornados, earthquakes, floods, we'll throw brick right in the middle of it. no, this goes against every rule of broadcast journalism i know. freddie, my old friend pat summerall once told me, "you've got to break a few eggs "when you're swinging a sledge hammer -"down at the bus station." damn straight! let's break stuff! we got 10 hours till we go on. we'll only need eight! -is that candy? i don't know. it is candy. i like you. i like you. -tell me something about you. well, i never have to get a haircut because my hair naturally sheds. i can throw a football 110 yards in the air and catch it. when i expel gas it wiffles or waffles, i call it a farg. -what about you? my name is chani lastnamé. i'm an old-fashioned girl, i believe in romance. i am related to a puppet. if you wanted me to, i would grow a beard by tomorrow. -chani, i just got these phone messages from last week. you mailed them to me? how else was i gonna get them to you? you hand them to me. you are the dumbest person i've met in my entire life, and that is not an exaggeration. -that makes me feel bad. well, chani, i'm telling the truth. sir. get your filthy hands off of her! help, help! -my phone messages! leave me alone, lady! not today! she has rainbow lasers coming out of her eyes. chani, i can see you behind that desk and you're fired! -why? are you okay? you saved my life. she was trying to murder me. sometimes it takes one man to stand up and reclaim the city and, in doing so, the streets are red with blood. -when you're around i get hot swirls in my pantyhose. and my dangle-down presses against my zipper. can we go to a date? yes. it's okay, ronny, you got this. -piece of cake. the only thing is everything's at stake here. your career, your child, literally everything. you got it though. oh, did you hear? -evan said there's some strange copy in the prompter. if i gave a shit i'd call someone. but i don't... so let's go. ron burgundy and his news team had made a few groundbreaking discoveries through the years. -they had invented the bread bowl and laminated porn mags. but the new brand of news, or info-tainment, they were about to unleash, would forever change history. hello, america. it's 2:00 a.m. eastern time. i'm ron burgundy, and tonight's top story is -america. she's the greatest country in the world. heck, the history of the world! god bless america! for starters, we kick butt. -nazi butt. russian butt. you show us a butt and we take the boot to it. if you like to whine and bitch about all the things wrong with america, go swim your ass across the atlantic ocean to china! that is one handsome devil. -indeed. some experts say silicone breast implants are dangerous, unhealthy and degrading to women, i say, in my most journalistic way i can, bring on the fun bags. now, brian, i read somewhere that the early prototypes of the breast implant were actually filled with taco meat. well, i don't know, i don't know the specifics but i do know they are still testing with all sorts of material. -pudding, whipped cream... tuna fish. nickels. okay, if you wanted a heavier breast. i like the news! -whammy! whammy! whammy! whammy! whammy! -whammy! back to you, ron. brick? brick, can you hear me? i can't hear you, ron! -okay, but you're answering the question, so i think you can hear me. no, i can! brick, do you think there is any danger to the average person out there? i'm afraid that this wind is so strong that babies are going to be ripped out of their mother's arms and be into the lion cages. sounds horrifying! -well, there you have it. mother nature can be a stone cold killer! what the hell was that? freddie loaded it. i just hit it on cue. -it's kinda cool. and for our eighth and final animal story of the night, it looks like residents of north yulk, montana, have found the cutest little patriot on god's green earth. look at that little guy! so funny and so adorable. for all of us here at gnn, i'm ron burgundy. -stay classy and stay strong, america. and we're out! wow! i couldn't take my eyes off the screen! -yes. you were electric, ron! whammy! that just felt right! that felt right! -i was outside! you sure were, brick. wonderful job. everyone did. wonderful. -amazing. great job. what the hell was that? what the hell was that? hey, hey, hey. -take it easy, linda. we were just trying something new. you changed the format of the entire show without consulting me? that's unacceptable! damn straight, sister. -we just done went and brought it! get out! you are all terminated immediately. if you were a man, i'd knock you out. oh, really? -well, go ahead! take a swing! take your best shot! i have five brothers, and two of them are defensive backs in nfl, so come on! you want me to do it? -yeah. this thing's not gonna feel good. i'm going to make that mustache of yours all bloody! ron, just do what men have been doing for thousands of years and punch the woman. here comes the toledo express. -all aboard! ron! no! i didn't do it! get off me! -mama, your baby's hurt. your baby. what is that sound you're making? good lord! you sound like a balloon. -pull yourself together, man. my binky. i need my binky. get him his goddamn binky! security! -hey! get him out of here! and you know what, you too, freddie! i thought you were more professional than this. is this because i'm white? -it's not because you're white, it's because you suck! i know exactly what apartheid feels like! bugger me with a didgeridoo. we knew we'd struggle to start, but these ratings are lower than i'd even imagined. thank god for the 2:00 a.m. spike. -it really saved our whole launch. spike? what are you talking about? what spike? burgundy. -who's ron burgundy? no, no, no, this can't be right. his team start at a 0.2, and then they finish at a 5.6? that's unbelievable! they tripled jack lime's numbers! -how is that even possible? well, guys, it goes without saying, i owe you gentlemen an apology. i dragged you out here and this thing was a disaster from the word "go." no, ron, don't you beat yourself up. -yeah, it's all right, ron. gin. champ, my friend, what's in store for you? well, my doctor's been at me to get another liver transplant. champ, how many liver transplants does that make now? -this will be the fourth one. champ deep fried the other three and served them at his restaurant. you know i did. and what about you, brick? what's next for the great brick tamland? -i am going to win the olympics. well, i highly doubt you're going to compete in the olympics. if you were though, what sport? the kicking. the olympic sport of kicking? -maybe that's brand new. what about you, ron? what do you think you're going to do? i've got some exciting investment opportunities i'm going to look into. -it's funny, i got a call the other day from some clowns who are trying to start up a business where they take water and put it in little plastic bottles, regular water, okay, nothing special about it. they put it in plastic bottles and they're going to sell it for a dollar. a dollar a bottle. if you get a call from fred and gina sparkletts, run for the hills. guys? -hey. i got some news. freddie, we don't exactly want to hear the word "news" right now. yeah. -you're right. forget it. forget i was even here. forget that gnn wants you back. for a prime time slot and a raise in pay. -what's your deal, freddie? quit yanking our crotch hoses. no. i'm not yanking your... your ratings went through the roof. -people love what you did. you're a success! get it? you're a great, big, fat success! by the back acne of brett somers! -it's total crap and they can't stop watching! the news team had been famous in san diego, but that was small time compared to new york. and they were about to have a sloppy, drunken ride down the gin-slickered waterslide that is fame. that'll do it for all of us here at gnn. thank god for the events, thank me for the news. -i'm jack... lame. hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! more graphics, okay? brick loves the colors. -but there's already a lot. hey, you heard the man. more graphics. yeah, don't sass me, beardo! finish and ask a question here, for god's sake! -can father ron please shut his mouth for just half a second? there's something new on the new york social scene. it's fun, relatively benign and costs about as much as a soda pop at the local drugstore. here's brian fantana on why everyone who is someone is lining up to smoke crack. now, brian, i understand we have some crack and we're going to smoke it right here in the studio. -i don't know if we can get a shot of that. what is that? did you know they were going to have that? no. get in here, champ. -i'll tell you, i love cocaine so if this is anything like that... oh, then you're going to love crack! now what are we doing here? we're going to take some of these rocks... okay. -now what you're going to do is you're going to put your crack rock in the glass pipe. i'll pack it in there. brick, do you want any crack? sorry, i'm afraid of fire. now what am i doing here? -stuff that rock in your pipe and then you're going to want to point your pipe up towards the heavens as if you're saying, "thank you, god, for giving me this crack." okay. you feel that right away. wow, that's good! -that's an immediate state of euphoria. you'll be surprised, the effect, it happens very... you just want more and more and more and more and more. brian, hey listen, my mom's got this diamond necklace and i'll sell it to you if i can get some more. they're actually enjoying it. -of course they're enjoying it. it's crack. what's that? stop! oh, apparently the police are here. -the police are here? really? for ron burgundy and my whole crack news team... i just made that up. that was a good one, ron. -that's actually a very good one. you should write that down. is that written? well, we got it recorded now. that's great! -well, now we know, guys, you can't smoke crack on live television. please come in and shut the door. if this is about sweeps, i think brian fantana found an outstanding story. it's about airplane parts that are falling off of airplanes out of the sky and hitting the ground, people. -we're calling it "death from above." we might do some interviews with airline stewardesses, in bikinis, to get their viewpoint. you. come here. i've been watching you. -you have? i've been watching you a lot. and you just do whatever you want. well, i'm a bit of a maverick, i guess. you don't follow the format. -you pretty much walk around like... like you're king of the world. i'm just a worker bee. that's all i am. you know what? -what? i find it hot as shit! are you going to hurt me? well, it depends. is that what you like? -god, no. who wants to be injured? have you ever heard the expression, "hurts so good"? yes, i've always been baffled by it. the idea of rolling an ankle or banging your elbow on a coffee table and deriving pleasure from it, it's very perplexing to me. -here's the thing, mr. burgundy. you're a shooting star and i want to go for a ride. god, i'm so afraid right now. come in. linda. -excuse me, linda. ron, jack wants to know if he can go back to calling himself jack lime instead of jack lame. he's really struggling with it. no. can't. -it's a bet. oh, jesus! if you want to change it, you can. like what? jack off? -gnn's jack off. jack... no, that's worse. you know it's worse. it sounds like jack off! -art areola. sounds ethnic. it almost sounds italian. freddie, i can't... listen to me, burgundy. -this is far from over, do you hear me? i'll see you on the playground. this meeting has been very productive. you can pick me up at 8:00. oh, my god, i think i just tore my undercarriage. -oh, man. he's just like me but he's a cat! that's a cat? oh, ron. ron, you are missing some real high-quality -garfield laughs over here! i think our boss just raped me. what? i don't know what happened. but linda jackson got very physical with me. -i knew it. she's probably in a gang. i mean, there was just a ball of motion and sweat and hair and noises. sounds like she wants you. hey, man. -the ladies been all over me since we got crazy famous. not to brag or nothing, but i just gave sheena easton crabs. that is in no way a brag, brian. that's horrible. hey, it's just doing something beautiful that two people do. -except one of them has microscopic dust mites all over his penis and testicles. i'm just saying... don't you think that person should alert their partner? semantics. sounds to me like it's her fault for being a randy gal. -i have a date! brick has a date? good for brick! what's a date? a date is simply when two people get together, do something social, have a few drinks, yadda-yadda-yadda... -take their shirts off... then you get sticky. oh, it's okay. no, it's a fun thing. it's fun. -it's all right. look. don't worry, brick, we got your back, okay? first things first, we need to get you a little protection. there it is. -brian fantana's glorious cabinet of condoms. for you i'm thinking teddy's big stick. it's the only one that comes with the presidential seal of approval. this one will fit right into her oval orifice. it's a great condom for when you're charging up san juan hill, -aka, a lady's puss. particularly good if you're a rough rider. oh, wait, wait, wait. are you thinking what i'm thinking? clam dam. -clam dam. clam dam. clam dam. clam dam. clam dam. -it's a non-lubricated condom, but it'll collect your pearls. what about cock frock? cock frock? it's a full body condom. and you can paint in it. -wait a minute. sleeve it to beaver. it's a great condom. takes you back to a simpler time when everything was in black and white. it's particularly good if you're going in for the eddie ass-kill. -my penis weighs 50 pounds. no, it doesn't, brick. thirty pounds. seventeen pounds. no, your penis probably weighs four or five ounces. -fifty pounds. so you just went back to the original number. thank you, ron, and happy st. patrick's day to all of our native american friends. on the big map... where's my map? -there's no map, it's just green. no, there's a map there. look at the monitor. right. ron, where's my legs? -where are my legs? your legs are there. i don't have any legs, ron. your legs are fine. the color of your pants just matches the chroma key behind you. -see you're standing right now on your legs. brick, it looks like it's hot in texas. ron, i'm a ghost. brick, do you want to do the weather? no. -no, thanks. no? you want to come back to the weather? nope. nope. -okay. ron, tell me what this looks like. okay, brick, it's live television, my friend. why don't we go to commercial break... it's 50 degrees in this state. -we don't have a commercial lined up. i'm going to take out my real one. no, no, no, no, no! and after i received my masters in journalism from columbia, i got a job with the london bureau for abc news. -wow, london. arguably one of my favorite cities in the entire world. i put it in my top 90, right in between omaha and jacksonville, florida. so, tell me, what are some of your favorite haunts? well, i love it all. -big ben. the tower of london. naughty hill. the wailing wall. grabbing a sherbet and walking along the thames. -it's pronounced "thames." piccadilly, the beatles. the beatles aren't a place. the beatles' building. where the beatles spent a lot of their time as young men. -where they learned how to be a beatle. beatles' building, right in downtown london. yeah, i was in london for two years and i never heard of a beatles' building. you got me. i've never been there. -i couldn't even find it on a map. mr. burgundy, are you nervous? god, yes. did i scare you by coming on so strong? a little bit, sure. -look, it's not that you're not attractive, it's just i'm a little old-fashioned. well, i am a modern woman. and let me tell you, when i see something that i want, i go for it. we're going to do this, aren't we? we most definitely are going to do this. -this is the nicest soda machine anyone's ever taken me to. can i ask you a personal question? i'm not sure what that is, but yes. have you ever kissed anyone? do lunch boxes and sleeping people count? -of course. then, yes. i have kissed scooby doo and roy. i tongue-kissed a lawn jockey. i once pooped in the basement of the lincoln memorial. -the lincoln memorial has a bathroom? no, but they have a basement. i feel like if i knew how, i would start to sing a love song right now. i feel like i'm about to watch you start to sing. -i feel like i'm about to sing a love song to you and i feel like i'm about to sing the same love song to you i don't know how to do it but i think it starts like this do do do la do do it continues like do do do doo -because i love you so and sometimes in a love song an eagle flies over and goes lots of animals are in love songs you got the eagle, the bunny, the rabbit, the squirrel and the bunny goes... -bunny love in a love song and we just sang our first love song together i think i'm ready to maybe try that kiss thing now. i'll be so careful not to bite a hole in your cheek. -hello, ms. jackson. i didn't mean to scare you. mr. allenby, i wasn't expecting you to... yeah, no, i know. neither was i. -but then i heard about this little story that ron burgundy and brian fantana are running. you see, some of the planes from my airline have had parts falling off them lately. is it a problem? yeah. is it being fixed? -i don't know, probably. but if that story runs, then koala stock will plummet. we can't just pull the story. that would be unethical. we own the news. -we can do whatever we want. that's one of the perks. it's called "synergy." one company working with another. mr. burgundy may well be one of the most valuable media tools that any corporation has ever had. everything he says becomes the truth. -so you treat him like the thoroughbred he is and, my girl, you could have a very, very rewarding career. and who knows, maybe you and i can be riding thoroughbreds naked off the coast of capri. no. okay, you can have pants on. but we'll be topless. -mr. allenby, i'm not going to ride on thoroughbred horses with you topless. fine, they can be atvs. you can be in a bikini, and i'll be wearing my speedos, swim trunks, the ol' budgie-smugglers. look, i would do this for my career but i am not sleeping with you. to synergy. -you seem a little quiet, i must say. just so you know, i'm absolutely fine with going to this family dinner. they're going to love you. this is delicious! so... -how long have you and linda been dating? mother. no, it's all right. it's a logical question. ours is a new love, but it burns very brightly. -when we get together we're like an oreo cookie covered in sweat. isn't that right, my nubian sex princess? what are you talking about? i've touched her booty. i put my hands on that booty. -i have done it. oh, now, we don't have conversations like that over dinner. what are you doing? i'm addressing the white elephant in the room. i'm breaking down the barriers of race by assimilation. -that's all i'm doing. well, you're coming off like a jerk. i think it's going well. we actually don't watch you. we find what you've done with the news offensive. -well, i know how you're getting your news. you're going down to the corner barber shop and then lumpy jones comes in and says, "i'd like a haircut today. "did you hear what they're doing?" and then the barber says, -"lumpy, i ain't talking to you until you pay your bill. "you haven't paid this bill in two months." etcetera, etcetera. and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends and it spreads that way. what is your problem, man? -hey, black don't crack, right? that's what we can at least all agree on. if you haven't noticed we don't converse like that. okay, okay. fair enough. -look at big papa down here. he's thinking to himself, "shit, look at that white pasty cracker "sittin' at my table, eatin' my food, "in my house, -"touching my daughter." i have. i have touched your daughter. honey! we have done things, papa. -you ain't gonna like! you ain't gonna like it none! oh, my goodness! i mean when it comes down to it, i'm just a bad-ass pharaoh with a big dick and fat wallet. -linda, i don't understand what you are doing with him. oh, you know what i'm coming at you with, you big, black mother of linda. mix it up in a pot! making it spicy! oh, my lord. -hey, that's my momma, man. hey, can i get an "amen"? can i get an "amen"? seriously though, folks, can i get an "amen"? please don't do this. -it's fine. can any of you crazy-ass motherfuckers pass me the... this man is out of here. get out of my house. oh, okay. -get out of my house, papa. get out of my house! this is fun. get out of my house, man. he's telling you to leave. -get out of my house! i must not be saying it right. get out of my house, you big dummy! get out of my house! i can't say it much louder. -get out of my house! get out! now i get it! you want me to leave the house! i'm not your big papa! -stop! stop! dad! i don't think that dinner could have gone any better. are you nuts? -no, i'm not! i had a wonderful evening! my dad was kicking you in the head! i thought it was like being jumped into a gang. only with dinner guests! -what? i hate to pin it on you, but you did invite me to dinner. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. no, i'm sorry. -i just... i'm just under a lot of stress because... because allenby, he doesn't want you to do the story that you're doing for sweeps. "death from above." it's an excellent story. -wonderful exposé. listen, ron. have you ever heard of synergy? so your mom thought we should get together, spend a little time. she doesn't think i connect with you as a child. -can you believe that bullshit? dad, do you like spider-man? nope, don't care for him. never have. don't like the mask, the costume, the getup, the webs. -spider-man's a poser, son. what's a poser? a poser is gary. by the way, how is that shit-heel? what's a shit-heel? -a shit-heel is a real fun term that you should call gary every time you see him. when he wakes you up for breakfast say, "oh, good morning, shit-heel." he'll probably give you five dollars or some candy. you're a shit-heel, dad. -you should just call gary that 'cause it makes him really happy. it makes me sort of happy but it makes him really happy. dad. sometimes i hear sounds at night and i get scared. i think there's a ghost in my closet. -now, you listen to me, son. i'm a grown man, okay. i've done things. i've been places. i watched the fall of saigon from my hotel room in bermuda. -so i have experience, and i'm going to tell you this right now. there is no such thing as ghosts. case closed. thank you, daddy. there's no such thing as ghosts, tree werewolves, angry store mannequins with dead eyes who look at you like this. -i'm starting to get scared. why? i'm telling you things that aren't real. so what's real that's scary? you really want to know the one thing you should be afraid of? -yes, i really do. voodoo. voodoo? yes, voodoo. that shit will mess you up. -and it is 100% real. promise me that you'll never go to haiti. i promise, dad. this was good. i enjoyed spending time with you. -me, too, dad. i love you? what? are you trying to say you love me? no. -no. what do you think i am, some kind of fruit? what did you tell him? i didn't tell him anything. well, for one, he called gary a shit-heel! -and he hasn't slept for four days! he keeps talking about tree werewolves. ron, listen to me. he is seven years old. you need to learn to connect with him in a healthy way! -he has a science fair tomorrow, at 8:00, and he wants you to be there. i will be there. all right? now, who do you have for sweeps week? i'm not discussing work with you, ron, okay? -just be there at the science fair tomorrow. fine! well, they're calling it the interview of the decade. veronica corningstone will sit down with yasser arafat, the head of the plo and, some say, the key to peace in the middle east. of course, ms. corningstone is the ex-wife of ron burgundy, so you know that's got to be a little stinger for ronny. -terry bradshaw's nipple! thank you for watching gnn. i'm jack me-off! we're going to get crushed in ratings. just crushed. -i really thought we had a chance this time. what about my "death from above" story? you better ask ron about that. we're pulling that story, brian. what? -why? i worked hard on that story. it was my call, all right, brian? just let it go. it's synergy. -what does that mean? take it easy, ron. we got further than anybody thought we would. we'll get 'em next time. you take it easy! -i'm not in this to finish second! i think champ is just saying that we... i know what he was trying to say, brian, okay? and it doesn't surprise me that you guys don't care. i mean, let's face it. -you'd be nowhere without me. i'm the one who got invited to the set of urban cowboy. not you guys! i'm the one with the hot black girlfriend. i'm the one who gets his caesar salad made table-side! -that is nice. oh, salad. i'm starting to wonder what you clowns actually do. chani likes clowns. except for the scary ones. -shut up, brick! just shut up for once! ron yelled at me. you're damn right i yelled at you! when you talk nonsense for 15 years, someone's going to get just a little bit tired of it! -you don't yell at brick. are you still smoking crack? no. i only smoked that one time. that's a lie. -i've done it six more times. you made brick cry. you've gone ratings crazy, ron. but, seriously, do you have any more of that crack left? you know what, ron? -we're a news team, and that's a bond for life. but i don't like the man you've become. you know, we were happy when you found us. right? i was taking pictures of pussies, -champ was serving bats to people, and brick was dead. we took a gamble. took a gamble to follow you here. but i'm starting to realize, this was all about you, and beating veronica at all costs. it had nothing to do with the news, -nothing to do with the team. brian, don't. you know, i might not be the smartest guy, but i know a thing or two about a thing or two. i know that if you're pleasuring a woman down south, you use your tongue to spell out the alphabet around her... the bubble. -around her bubble. the vulva! the volvo. i always do the kiss logo or the led zeppelin "zoso" symbols. i know the el camino is the coolest thing ever because it's a car and it's a truck and that's just two different ways to get pussy. -i can't argue with any of those points. and i know that no matter what, you always stand by your friends. sorry, brian. i've got a sore back. you'll have to excuse me. -it's so sore from carrying your ass for the last 15 years. i think you're sick in the head, burgundy. thankfully, i've got a whole spoon full of medicine. i don't know who i am. oh, my god! -the room is spinning. you'll regret this! you'll regret this, brian! i can't move my left side of my body. one, two, three, get up on the count of three. -one, two, three. tonight, i interview yasser arafat, the secretive head of the plo. hey, don't let her get into your head, ron. i can't believe this. how do you even get that guy's number? -we've got to get someone from a foreign country. guys, we're on in 20, 20, ron. you ready? what's that, huh? oh, that's nothing. -it's just a car chase on the satellite feed from milwaukee. you know what? give it to me live to start the broadcast. no. that's not news, ron. -give it to me live, okay? and don't question me again. bill! journalists back in 1980 thought that a car chase wasn't news. but ron burgundy wasn't a journalist, he was an anchorman. -good evening. i'm ron burgundy, reporting live from new york. we have breaking news developing in our nation's heartland. a high-speed car chase is in progress... keep the "breaking news" logo up. -keep up the graphic. ...reaching speeds of up to 100 mph. and for the first time in news history, we will stay with it live until it resolves in either a huge accident or a massive shootout. ron burgundy is so brave for covering this. what an american! -are you worried your dad's not gonna come? he'll be here. he promised he would. does he usually stick to his promises? always. -except not most of the times. we're going to stay with this live. i know there's other news out there. there's boring interviews with weird foreigners going on right now that are not important. this is the pulse of what's going on in our country right now. -freddie, what's going on? why is there a local car chase on the tv? it's burgundy, he insisted. can't you see what the son of a bitch is doing? he didn't have a story so he made one! -you can't do that! tell ron to speculate who's driving the car. ron, speculate on who's driving the car. we believe the driver may be on drugs. he's probably 6'7", 6'8", but a skinny 6'7", 6'8", about 160. -he may have a hostage or two. we don't know. he could have something in his car. the phone lines are lighting up. it's about the chase! -i've never seen anything like it! mr. arafat, is there any scenario by which peace could be reached with israel? peace is what burns in my heart... what was it? excuse me. -what happened to the... the network cut to another developing story. some kind of crazy car chase. who covers a car chase? i'm sitting here with the most important interview of my entire career, and they're cutting to a car chase? -this is extremely gripping. he just hit a car! he just hit a car! he hit a car! did you see that? -oh, they just wrecked! wow! i fucking love the news! yeah! oh, my god, that car just hit another car. -this is awesome. and he just loses it! wow! that's exactly what we needed. it was getting a little boring. -hey. you did a great job. thanks, gary. i don't think your dad's coming. i'm sorry, honey, but i think we need to go. -stop reading my mind! all right. i mean, this is what i worry about. my dad thinks you're like a wizard. i'm a psychologist. -i have a ponytail, for god's sakes. we're just getting word that police have finally apprehended the suspect. it turns out that he is an elderly gentleman, he's 80 years old, and he was simply confused. wow! what an afternoon! -i'm ron burgundy. i may not always know the facts but i'll always tell you the truth. thank you for watching. and we are clear! yes! -great! all right! i don't believe it! you did it, ron! oh, my goodness. -thanks, freddie. i don't deserve this. it was a team effort. it really was. now, ladies and gentlemen, we all know there's one reason that gnn have gotten to the top. -and that reason is the greatest bloody newsman in the world. long may he reign! mr. ron burgundy! yeah, ron! yeah! -fire it up, ronny! let's blaze. yeah. to hell with ron burgundy. we did it, my onyx hellion. -you're magic! good friend. in the myth of icarus, icarus, full of the folly that comes with pride, flew too high and the sun melted his wings. ron had no idea who icarus was. -he thought he was an alien villain from star trek. oh, my god, ronny! ron! open the bloody gate. somebody call an ambulance! -my heart is split like a melon! do not die in front of us! stay classy, ron burgundy. damn it, milton, what is it? well, ron... -i... it looks as if both optic nerves are separated from their respective corneas. what? no other way to put this, but... you're blind. -but surely there's some drug or some machine... ron, i've looked at all the test results repeatedly. there's always false positives. run the tests again! okay, all right. -there is one more test i can do. i knew it! yep, you're blind! clearly, there must be something in this new-fangled office of yours that can help me! -settle down. there's got to be something in here! orderly. orderly. zombies! -zombies! if you get my hands on me, i'll kill you. the world of the blind. ron burgundy, a man who had flourished in a visual medium, had forever entered this realm of darkness. who is it? -ron, it's us! i'm sure you gentlemen are famished from your travels. i hope you like triscuits and some pimento loaf. still hot off the griddle! there we go. -well, everyone at the station really misses you, ron. jack lime's been filling in for you since you've been gone. you know, he's really not such a bad guy after all. brick! that's checkers and caulk. -don't eat that. what about linda? she hasn't called. linda's pretty busy. i'm sure that's what it is. -have you ever eaten the boot from monopoly? it is so good. so, ron, what do you do with yourself all day? you're just out here pretty much away from everything. well, every day begins about the same. -i wake up screaming in terror because of the blackness and i think i'm dead. every day? yes! every day! and then i begin what's called the great adventure. -making breakfast. i've eaten everything from nails to drink coasters. don't even bring up thanksgiving. i got halfway through a nerf football. you haven't been blind for thanksgiving. -you know what the biggest indignity is? i can't even masturbate. really? what's masturbate? heck, one morning i spent 20 minutes aggressively rubbing my shin, wondering, "where's the sensation? -where's the pleasure coming?" went through half a can of crisco. you rubbed your shin thinking it was a penis? feel it. tell me that doesn't feel like a penis. -that feels like a shin. yeah, because you're feeling it through the hands of a sighted person. ron, purely for empirical evidence and science, i'd like to feel your bony, hard cock and compare that to a shin. you think i'm stupid, don't you? -go ahead, laugh at the blind man. laugh at the village fool. the carnival freak. i'm like the elephant man, aren't i? oh, come on, ron. -do i amuse you? more! i'm a man. i'm not an animal. what you're going through has nothing to do with the elephant man. -it doesn't even remotely compare. let me say it real slow and real loud. i'm blind! i guess we should get out of here. maybe you should go. -yes. why don't you guys get out of here! despite my complete and utter isolation, your gentlemen's visit has actually made it worse! good-bye, ron. what? -no, don't go! please! wait! i'm all alone! come back! -wait! come back! come back! i'm alone! why have you done this to me, god? -why? you feel like a big shot? are you a big man now? are you getting your jollies off this one, god? i hope you're happy. -well, i never thought that i would see the ron burgundy full of so much self-pity. who is it? what is that noise? take my hand. i can't see it! -reach for it, ron! you have to learn to do for yourself now. all right. this... okay. -here we go. get up. there we go. cher, is that you? you can't recognize me by my voice? -billy dee williams. really? every news station is copying what you did, ron. all the stories are about animals, or car chases or strip clubs. the genie has been let out of the bottle, and old ron burgundy popped the cork. -that's why i quit wbc news. what? there's no real news being reported out there. it's just all about ratings. veronica. -why are you here? i'm here for our son, ron. walter needs you. i need you to start taking responsibility for him and for yourself. do you realize you're talking to a man who just this morning tried to brush his teeth with a... -with a violin that he found at a flea market? what? how? wouldn't you have known it was a violin when you touched it? i'm just saying, it's not going to be a cakewalk. -well, then we best get to it. it's next to impossible. i can't do it! just remember the curves. the curves. -the green eyes. green eyes. yes, i'm still sitting here nude like you requested. i can't do it! baxter found something on the beach! -ron, be careful! it's okay! walter, what is it? it's some kind of fish! it's not just a fish. -it's a shark. and by the smell of the oil from its liver, it's a juvenile great white. oh, my goodness! if he stays tangled in this net, he's not going to survive. walter, sweetheart, it's a shark. -it's not just a shark, veronica, he's a carcharodon carcharias. the largest apex predator in the ocean. son, don't you worry, we won't let this fellow die. we'll do it together, dad. that should keep him in there until he's strong enough to swim out to the deep ocean. -can i name him? of course you can, son. what about crackers? give me a goddamn break. seriously, you've got one of the most vicious predators in the ocean and you're going to name him crackers? -in the future, when you say i can name something, don't be a dick about it. why don't we do this? let's name him doby. all right, i can live with that. don't worry, baxter, we won't feed him your dog food. -even though ron burgundy had lost his sight, he had never seen so clearly. he had the love of veronica and his son. the beauty of the lighthouse. and with every inch doby grew, so did ron's heart. well, you're a hungry guy. -got you! yes! you got it. you struck him out. happy birthday, doby! -ron, walter. mom, we made a birthday cake for doby out of seal meat and chum icing. we did. nice, nice. listen, i... -walter, i fear that the shark is getting too big for the cove now. what do you know, bitch! excuse me, young man. walter, that language is only used by your father when your mother messes up. she ruins everything! -first she made you leave and now she wants doby to go. it might be time to set doby free. the other day we found old man crowley's walker by the cove. he's been missing for a week. oh, dear lord. -i'll go talk to him. all right. wrong way. just like the passing of the seasons, it came time for doby to return to the deep waters he was meant to call home. i hear his tail splashing! -he's actually swimming away! do you think he's crying, weeping violently in the depths of the sea? he's a shark, so, no. i think that he's surrounded by water. if we ever see him again, do you think he'll remember us? -absolutely, my son. sharks are known for their photographic memory. promise you'll always be there for me, dad? i promise. if i say i'll be there for you, there's nothing on god's earth that will stop me. -i love you, dad. let's get back up to the lighthouse, all right? come on. okay. doby, i hope you're happy. -and i hope you eat lots of fish and surfers. oh, there you are. i found the most beautiful clams down by the estuary. i thought we could steam them up tonight with a nice butter sauce and some wine. veronica. -yes, ron? can you explain this? ron, this is dr. brangley. i've left dozens of messages. somehow, they must be getting erased. -but there is a procedure that can possibly return your sight. please get back to me if you're interested. well? have you been erasing these messages? yes. -ron, just let me explain. how could you? we've never been this happy and... damn you, woman! you lied to me! -i gave you everything! i gave you my heart, my smile, my seed. and you lied to me. dad! sweetheart. -no! dad! don't leave, dad! dad! sweetheart, we have to let him go. -he needs to go free. just like doby. he'll be back. he promised. could you please call me a damn cab? -i'm blind! of course! ron, the operation was a success. but we won't know for sure until we remove the bandages. well? -yes. i can see. oh, god, oh, god. it's ron burgundy, everyone! you are my inspiration. -oh, well, thank you. oh, hey, good for you, ron. whammy. champ. ron, you grew a mustache. -brick. brick and i are having a baby! we're gonna name it sugar. i'm 22 months pregnant. all right. -well, get over here, you bastard. got you a drink, ron. come on. hold on to that drink. i just want to grab some air. -how you doing there? i'm fine. just... just a lot of people in there. listen, ron, i'm sorry that i never called or visited. -there's... there's no need to explain. but, listen, i mean, you're back. hello, ron. what are you doing here? -i had to come tell you something very important. you must be linda jackson. you must be veronica. yes, i am. it's a pleasure. -this is a touching moment for me. please, don't take this the wrong way, but if you touch ron again, i will pop up from the backseat of your car and burn your face with a curling iron. that's all fine and good but if you did that i'd be forced to put your hand in a paper shredder while i smoke a cigarette. well, in that case, i would have no choice but to mail your severed foot to your grandmother. -merry christmas, nana. i was feeling a little bit down but this is definitely picking up my mood. well, i guess i'll leave you two alone and it's been an absolute pleasure, ms. corningstone. this has been great. bye, linda. -i know why you haven't been returning my messages. i wasn't calling for me, i was calling because walter has a piano recital in half an hour at the tishman school on 65th street. and he wrote a piece for you, ron. walter. it would mean the absolute world to him to have you there. -ron, i just got a call from the control room! oh, big fan. oh, ron... actress sheila blackledge, the mom from the hit sitcom four's a family, five's a crowd... -oh, sure. four's a family five's a crowd the neighbors get mad 'cause the family's so loud it's so funny. -that's it. she found out that her husband was cheating on her and she severed his penis while he slept! oh, my goodness. the police arrived. she fled in her white bronco, and now they're engaged in a high-speed car chase! -we've got an exclusive on the live feed, but we've got to go, right now! ron, this can be your comeback. veronica, i... no, ron. no. -that... that will get sky-high ratings. walter will understand. walter will understand. go. -come on, ron. priorities! veronica! come on! can you hear me? -yes, yes, you're coming in loud and clear. you're back and you get this story. this is gonna be huge. right. god, look at him. -like a beacon in the night! my golden goose. all right, baby. so i'm just gonna be giving you the details. five, four, three, two... -good evening, america. after some time off, it's good to be back with you. i'm ron burgundy. we have a story tonight involving an affair, a cut-off penis, a tv star, twelve kilos of cocaine, devil worship, and a car chase. and throw it to the feed. -the only problem is... what's he doing? ron, are you okay? it's not news. what? -turn off the prompter. ron, this is kench. what the hell do you think you're doing, mate? just read what's in front of you, or i will ruin you! don't! -don't! you leave kench inside your head! god damn it! you see, folks, i've read a lot of news in my day, but it's taken me until now to realize what real news is. real news is supposed to let people know what the powerful are up to, so that that power doesn't become corrupt. -but what happens when the powerful own the news? recently, i've been on a bit of a personal journey. i made love to a proud, intelligent black woman. i became blind. i bottle-fed and raised a shark. -and i smoked a fair amount of crack. but the most important thing i've learned is that there was an emptiness left after turning my back on three of the best friends anyone could ever ask for. hi, ron! so, if you'll excuse me, i'm going to see my child's recital and tell the woman i love that i still love her. -good night, america, and never forget, you deserve the truth. good. he's dead, done. linda, get the skirt in, the blonde. anyone! -he's coming back! also, i just wanted to say a quick hello to baxter. hello, baxter. we've got dead air. yes, yes, yes. -we're taking care of it right now. guys, i'm sorry. for a while there, i don't know what became of ron burgundy. brick, i'm sorry i yelled at you. -brian, i... no reason why i killed that story of yours. it was excellent reporting. and, champ, i'm really sorry for... actually, i wasn't gonna apologize for anything to you. -you've done horrible things to me. ron, you're a good man but you've fallen victim to your own ego and your own hubris. and before others can forgive you, you must learn to forgive yourself. what was that, brick? i have a hot dog in my desk. -thank you. so that's it, huh? you're sorry. you know what, burgundy, apologies are like assholes. everyone's got one and everyone's got a shoebox full of polaroids of them under the bed. -i don't know what that means. it means that apologies are cheap and that i have a shoebox full of polaroids of butt holes and i keep it under my bed. maybe one day you'll... you'll think enough of me to let me buy you a beer and we can look at that shoebox together. don't hold your breath. -i only show that shoebox to my good friends and hitchhikers. i understand. ron... we're the news team. this can't end. -well, we'll see how this one does at the box office. what? just let him go, champ. ron! long live ron burgundy! -guys, he's gonna come to my recital. taxi! taxi! taxi! damn it! -it's so hard for a rich white man to get a taxi in this city! thank you. is dad going to come? no, sweetheart, daddy has to work. he's going to come. -i know it. taxi! i need to see my son! and now, to play an original composition that he wrote for his father, here is seven-year-old walter burgundy. i made a promise! -i made a promise to my son! what the hell? well, hello, ron. you out for a jog? jack lime! -where's everyone going? please. i don't have time to talk, okay? i have to be somewhere. well, that's funny. -'cause i got nowhere to be 'cause you pretty much destroyed my career. do you realize what it did to me, by making me call myself jack lame? it was a living hell! i had to get a new driver's license. i can't get restaurant reservations! -i have to do my own hair. look, i'm sorry but i'm out of the news game. i just walked away. you can't just walk away from the news. it's like a... -it's like a frat or kiss army. you're in it for life. i'm telling you, you have to let me go! oh, don't worry. four against one. -this will be over fast. maybe not so fast! my news team. thank god! ain't a day that will be or has been that we don't have ron burgundy's back. -not a problem. when i'm done with these mutts, i'm gonna wipe my shoes on the curb. oh, yeah, jack lime? when i'm done with you, -i hope we can be friends in the future and maybe see a movie together. wait! it's too bad you don't have free health care because the bbc world service is about to beat your arses bloody! god save the queen and god kill ron burgundy! no. -not now. fall back, fall back. if y'all are gonna get down, then wesley jackson and the mtvvj news crew need in! what the hell's a vj? i don't know. -is that like a vlow job? it's the future, sucker! we gonna play all videos and then eventually just reality shows! it wouldn't be a battle without jill janson. and wendy van peele from entertainment news. -entertainment and news, that's a contradiction. in celebrity gossip, guess who was seen canoodling with death at spago? ron burgundy! tonight's top story, an exclusive interview with jamie farr plus a couple of douche bag anchormen get their balls stomped! hey! -there's not gonna be any fight without scott riles and the incredibly polite canadian news team. what about the french-speaking quebec news? the real voice of canada! give it a rest, eh? give me a break! -they can't have news. nothing happens in canada! that's not true! sometimes people's feelings get hurt. and sometimes the lake freezes. -i like your ginger ale! this is jeff bullington, espn. all sports. that's 24 hours of sports, but today it's 23 'cause one of those hours is me rectally extracting your spine. twenty-four hours of sports? -that actually sounds pretty good to me. i'd watch that. hey. the history network wants in on this. we're news, too. -only news told much, much later. wait a minute. is that the ghost of stonewall jackson with you? yes, it is. and the mighty minotaur. -the minotaur isn't even history! he's mythology! you're crossing a lot of formats here. hey, let's not downplay the fact that that's the ghost of stonewall jackson! may the lord anoint this hallowed field of battle. -you guys got room in this battle for an old war horse? mack tannen! what are you doing here? you're too old for this. i had a crush on him when i was a schoolgirl. -you like it wrinkled, huh? well, you see, there's the thing. when there's an early moon, i almost feel like a stallion again! he's on our side, right, ron? -he's a were-hyena! far away! good luck, skips! skips, you forgot your ninja sword! rigby, no! -cover your ears! stop, rigby! cover your ears! no! what the heck? -! i got to get that ninja sword! skips! let me handle this. we've got to help him! -yeah! let's get this thing! leave pops alone! it's too powerful! we've got to cut off all his heads. -time to de-stress! hold on! no, no, no! rigby, don't! thanks! -no problem! benson, take these! skips! yeah, way to go! skips! -we're sorry we made you so stressed out, skips. nah, forget it. and thanks for helping me out of here. this isn't going to happen again. we could all stand do more of our own work without bothering you for help. -i enjoy helping my friends. but that might not be such a bad idea. oh, my. what's wrong? we've got a flat tire. -i'll take care of it. here's the tire iron. i'll grab the jag. i got the spare. oh, let me help you with that. -when i've achieved what i set out to achieve i'll let you know where to find the guns. so what shall i do? get close to him. find out where those guns are hidden. raise a hand if you want to strike! -cheering freddie thorne is at the very top of my list. well, cross him off. i'll make him part of our deal. to hell with them. -the more they try to stop us, the madder i'll be. times like these, a communist in the family is bad for business. you have to leave the city. you are also at war with the lees, mr kimber, am i right? together we can beat them. -divided, maybe not. shouting music: "red right hand" by nick cave and the bad seeds subtitles downloaded from podnapisi.net god, he's getting big now. -do you still love me even though i am fat? no. not at all? you married me, now you're stuck with me. so, how was london? -it's crackling with revolution. the poplar docks are on strike. did our friends give us what we asked for? how much? £200. -who did you meet? an attache from the russian embassy. in a chinese restaurant. our revolution is international. and it grows by the day. -jeremiah, jeremiah... what do you see? your sister and freddie got back this morning. i tried following them... but freddie's so good at getting away. he's like a fish. -right, well, keep fishing, eh? last bets now! don't spend your rent money, charlie! that's your starters, gentlemen. no more bets. -i was here on time. finished. i've had a tip-off, i need this bet. the race has started. please. -no! fine. get rid of him. we said, "no", now get out! all right. -all right, i'm off. i'm off. night, lads. see you tomorrow. it's a good day. -where's john? john is in the garrison. he says he wants a meeting about a family matter. after he's said his piece he'll come back and take his place with scudboat. scudboat? -john will be here in ten minutes. all right. five. wait. good boy. -john? screaming put that down! put that down! this is for cheltenham. -we're just taking back what's ours. there's money here. search everywhere. all right, john. there's only one right... -no. there's only one man guarding the house. what's troubling you? polly, you know what it's been like since martha died. god takes the best first. -the truth is, my kids have been running bloody rings around me. running barefoot with the dogs until all hours. pol, give him ten bob, some shoes. is that it, john? tommy, we'd be better doing this without you. -now, what's your point? what the kids need is a mother. so, that's why i'm getting married. does this poor girl know you're going to marry her or are you going to spring it on her all of a sudden? i've already proposed and she said "yes". -i think there's a shell about to land and go bang. it's, er... it's lizzie stark. they chuckle john, lizzie stark's a strong woman and i am sure she provides a fine service for her customers. -i won't hear the word. understand? do not use that word. what word is that, john? you know what word that is. -everybody bloody knows... everybody can go to hell... "whore"? that word? or "prostitute"? -how about that one? right, i want it known... if anyone calls her a "whore" again, i will push the barrel of my revolver down their throats and blow the word back down into their hearts. men and their cocks never cease to amaze me. john, lizzie stark never did a day's work vertical. -she's changed. all right. people change. like wi-wi-with religion. oh, lizzie stark has got religion, eh? -no, no, she doesn't have religion. but... well, she loves me. now, listen, tommy. i won't do it without your blessing. -but of all the people in the world... ..i want you to see it... ..as brave. it's brave all right. "brave" is going where no man has gone before. with lizzy stark, john, that is really not what you'll be doing. -listen, tommy. welcome her to the family. as someone who's had a hard life. all right? because, i need someone. -all right, the kids need someone. child: tommy! we've been done over! what? -jesus christ. what the bloody hell happened here? the lees. all of them. cousins, nephews, even the bastards. -they've taken anything they can lay their hands on. four cash boxes. they left these.... wire cutters. why would they leave wire cutters? -nobody move. i think our friends are playing the game. what game? aunt pol. don't touch anything. -erasmus lee was in france. shit. when we gave up ground to the germans... ..we'd leave behind booby traps, set up with wires. and we'd leave wire cutters as part of the joke. somewhere in here there's a hand grenade... -holy jesus. ..attached to a wire. don't move any chairs or open any doors. go easy, john boy. easy. -boys, no. it's not in here. if it was in here, it would have blown by now. it was my name on that bullet erasmus sent. he's set a trap all right. -but he's set it up just for me. finn? finn, stay exactly where you are. i was pretending i was you. which door did you open to come in, finn? -i didn't. i climbed in. i want you to climb out exactly the same way you climbed in, ok? no, no... finn! -clear! what happened? are you all right? it could have killed us. they pant -that's why you should never pretend to be me. ok? ok? music: "i fought piranhas" by the white stripes i got you ten minutes with her. -you can at least say thank you. it's easier to get to see the pope these days. put your hand on the bible. i don't believe. anyway, i didn't come here to lie. -this war is cutting us all up. she laughs you're all children. i say enough. your boys tried to kill me - it didn't work. -no wonder you won't touch a bible. i have ambitions. you want to play a switch. i need your boys. for what? -kimber's not the brains. there's a gadze who runs the races. i'm collecting smart people. but i need strong men too. now your boys should know this, we now get the winner in one of every three races before the race even starts. -no need for chalkers or rafflers. i'm talking certainties. you come in here boasting you're going to do someone down and in the same breath you ask me to trust you. on my mother's side, we are kin. ada, can you do my back? -ada? i know what was in the envelope. i looked. money. and that bloke we met in london who you said was a frenchman. -he was russian. i'm not an idiot, freddie. how is it you take all the risks and stanly chapman gets the money? it's money for the cause. you're blind. -i would be if your brothers had anything to do with it. this isn't about them. this is about you. and me. and...this. -you're a dreamer, freddie. you give money away while we rot in here... and you talk about revolution. i need to know. who are you loyal to, freddie? i said, "who are you loyal to?" -door opens did you have something to do with this? i asked an acquaintance for an address. she said she would only give it to me anonymously. she was afraid of the consequences. -whose address is it? tommy, i'd like to suggest a strategy. your message said you have an address for me. anonymous tip off. the address of stanly chapman. -you promised me freddie thorne. this is instead of freddie thorne. no deal. inspector, stanly chapman is a bigger fish than freddie thorne. he is currently holding £200 in cash. -given to the communist party by the russian government. that's right, chapman has snow on his boots and all you'll need is a shovel. if he talks, you'll have proof. you might even get that medal. -now... ..before i give you the address... ..i want your word... ..that you will let freddie thorne and my sister leave the city. very well. you have my word. i'd say our little truce is proving productive for both of us, inspector. -i get the information... and protection and you... well... ..you get bolsheviks. but on a more pressing matter... i'm afraid that mr churchill is becoming impatient. and i fear that... ..if you don't give back those stolen weapons soon... -..i will be replaced. that would be the finish of me, that's for sure. when my business with kimber is done the guns will be returned. that was the deal. then i am in your hands. -completely. you hold all the cards. but i hope to god that my dismissal doesn't come before your decision to hand back those guns. i say this for your sake, because... ..if i were to be fired and it were your fault... ..i would do things that would shame the devil. -he chuckles my fury is a thing to behold. on my last day in power, for example, i would see to it that you and your scum brothers have your heads stoved in with mallets and spades. and your sister too. -that baby inside her would be of no consequence to me. the only one to be spared... ..would be your little brother finn. he would however be lifted as a juvenile and dumped into that part of the adult prison... ..where men have most appetite for boys like him. that would be a dark day indeed, mr shelby. -if my dismissal comes before your decision. do you understand? and know this... ..the clock is ticking. stanly, it's the police. stanly, get here! -you're under arrest, mate! you bastards! man screams look what we found. it seems stanly chapman really does have snow on his boots. -mr chapman... ..you're fucked. he still refuses to say where it came from. i'm sure, with a little persuasion, he'll tell us everything he knows. including the whereabouts of freddie thorne. sir? -your face is a picture. i thought you had done a deal. oh, is that is what you thought. well, you gave your word. my word? -do people still talk about such things this idiotic century? my word to who? to a peaky blinder? now, go and interrogate mr chapman until he tells us where we can find freddie thorne and his wife. the source of the money is of secondary importance. -you think my campaign against shelby has become personal? correct. "spot-on", as they say in london society. now, go and interrogate mr chapman and do not make the mistake of being too gentle. right, sir. -door opens door closes today's her birthday. i know you never miss it. then i'm lucky you're not a copper. -what do you want? i came to warn you. they've lifted stanly chapman. how do you know? police don't spill that information. -i know cos it was me and tommy who tipped them off. tommy did a deal. in return for safe passage for you and ada he's given them stanly and the money. money? what money? -who told you about the money? who do you think? yeah, it was ada's idea. that's how desperate she is to get out of that rat-hole you're keeping her in. she doesn't mind if you knew she just didn't want to be here when you found out. -sometimes the women have to take over. like in the war. who the hell do you think you are, you fucking shelbys. don't swear over your mother's grave. you play your tune, you expect the whole world to dance to it. -you don't have time for this, freddie. you did a deal for me? don't flatter yourself. for ada. and you think this copper will keep his word. -if he does, you're safe. if he doesn't, chapman will give you up, you'll still have to leave town. same result. so neat(! ) so leave. -except there's one thing that you got wrong. stanly won't be able to give up my address because he doesn't know it. that's how it works. none of us know each other's addresses. so, you've wasted your fucking time. -they'll keep beating him and beating him for information he doesn't have. all you've done is sign the death warrant of a good man. so, you won't leave. no! i won't fucking leave! -if you want me out of birmingham it'll have to be in a wooden box. you lay a hand on our ada, i'll put you in a wooden box myself. you raised a stubborn one there, irene. you told me to carry on. i wanted to stop. -he had some kind of seizure. so, you killed him? did he give you an address? what's the matter with you? he fell down some stairs. -this is not bloody belfast! not yet, but if men like him get their way, it soon will be. so, find some stairs, throw him down, and call the coroner. use grayson. if he has any awkward questions ask about the welfare of his mistress in saltley. -that'll shut him up. to think i used to live in a shit-hole like this. bloody animals. but the shelbys really are doing an excellent job for us. we haven't lost a single penny to rafflers or chalkers in eight race meetings. -the bookies are purring. so, we throw the dog a bone. i think so. mr kimber. mr roberts. -come and have a look around. after you. come on, fred. you can feed half of birmingham with what you have had for lunch. get back to work. -we heard the lees had turned you over. you shouldn't listen to gossip, mr kimber. this way. business is good. especially since now you know which horse is going to win before you set the odds. -your information is very much appreciated. right, well, where are they? john, lovelock, scudboat, in here. this is my team. they will take up their pitch at your convenience, mr kimber. -john is the book. scudboat is the bag man. and, of course, we bring our own protection. warwick, next saturday. at least fifty yards from the beer tent. -gentlemen... and lady. i have in my hand a legal betting licence. issued by the board of control. the shelby family has its first legal racetrack pitch. -cheering we're a business, pol. congratulations. there you go. congratulations. -30, 40, 50... these cigarettes have a strange smell, arthur. they smell like rotting water. and look. rats have gotten some of them. -they're stolen, are they not? don't ask. they smell because you keep them on a boat. what do you care? now, can you come and check my adding up, please? -you know, you should make a new start with this place. do it properly. these cigarettes are not fit to sell. smells like gallipoli. you should find a new place to store them. -it has to be far away from coppers. but not rats? all the wharves have rats, grace. what's wrong with a dry warehouse? tommy's orders. -what orders? always keep contraband near to petrol boat moorings. don't boats get searched? we moor them at junctions... so there's more than one way out. no locks within a mile so we can move that stuff fast. -your brother doesn't obey the law, but he has rules. a precise man, your brother. is my adding up right? it is now. sergeant moss: -one. two. three...and four. and we'll search them one by one. music: "broken boy soldier" by the raconteurs -please, lord, let that which i seek be found here. not so much as a bullet, sir. just more cigarettes and whisky. arthur tells me you've been asking questions... ..about how we run our business. and how we get our booze and where we keep it. -i am just trying to help. let's you and me go for a walk. where to? come on. why here? -you're a good catholic girl, aren't you? yes. well, then you know it's here people come to confess. after you. well, here it is, grace. -i confess. i need someone. kimber has an adviser by the name of roberts. he talks well. keeps the accounts. -runs the legal side of the business. and you need a roberts. arthur tells me you have ideas. i'm not an accountant. nor a lawyer. -no. no, but you have something i need. class. i need someone who looks right at the big meetings. epsom, ascot... -is a job interview? arthur says you're good with numbers. well, that's relative. he is quite poor. you keep the books in order. -they were chaotic. but you're a liar. no catholic girl would enter a church and forget to make the sign of the cross. you are very perceptive. first, you lied about that pub you used worked in. -now i find out you're a protestant. do you care? no. i lied to fit in. you pull a pint like someone who's thinking about it. -this is not an interview, it is an interrogation. sit down. look, grace... he sighs you washed up in a place you don't belong for whatever reason. -my good fortune. and perhaps mine. you know that most of what i do is illegal. i'm not blind. and yet, you'd still be willing to work for me? -are you offering me the job? then i accept. there's something else you should know. a very important detail about my reasons for employing you. you disappoint me. -do you resign? no. my appetite for the work has only increased. he clears his throat tomorrow i'll show you around. -lizzie. hello, lizzie. that bag looks heavy, jump in. kids' teas. you like kids? -yeah. good, cos john's got four of them. it's all right. i'm not going to try to talk you out of it. i just want to talk. -you're not against us? john is his own man. and you are your own woman. now, lizzie... since i came back from france, i've come to you on many occasions. tommy, you didn't tell him? -no, i didn't tell him. just like you didn't tell him. now, why didn't you tell him, lizzie? why didn't you tell him that you'd been serving his brother for the past two years? because the past is the past. -i don't want to lose him. he's a good man. that was the answer i was hoping you'd give - the past is the past. you see our john says you've changed. and i believe him. -and that's good. change is good. these are new times i'm told. so i wish you both every happiness. and i want you to see that as my wedding gift to you. -and our farewell to pleasures gone by. you mean... ..one last time? one last time. you and me. it's eight bloody pounds. -so, where shall we go? tommy, shall we go to my lodging? so, the past is not the past. you can keep the money, lizzie. just get out of the car. -tommy, please... get out of the car. i love him, tommy. really. really. -john will make his own decision. but he will have the facts. your brother is ten times the man you are! of that i have no doubt. he is obviously not stupid. -all we found was stolen tobacco and whisky. which you left in place. of course. i would never endanger you. you are doing well, grace. -i've been working on arthur - he's easier. than thomas. yes. less intelligent. yes. -is that a word you would use about thomas? it's your word. he has promoted me. he wants me to be his book-keeper and secretary. a cut-throat gangster with a secretary. -the pretensions of these hoodlums are quite breathtaking! are they not? yes. quite breathtaking. he has obviously fallen quite heavily for you. -i thought you would be pleased. i just hope you remember who you are dealing with here. a man who cuts off ears and cuts out tongues. i know what he is, sir. the difficulty with undercover work, grace, is to remember what you are. -i come here with good news and i get this. grace! tommy. i need a favour. i want to borrow the car. -i want to take lizzie for a ride in the country with the kids. we're going to celebrate getting the licence. not a problem, john. i'll need the keys. look, john, you're my brother... -there's something i have to tell you. yesterday on the front seat of that car, i offered lizzie some money. and, john, she said "yes". now, that's a fact. -you do with it what want. take the keys. take lizzie to the country. marry her if you want. but you have to know... ..she said "yes". -get another glass. can you make a toast? i'm irish, i can make a million toasts. may you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you're dead. what are we celebrating? -contract of employment. book-keeper. shelby brothers limited. i don't like that word, "limited". to be respectable, you have to be "limited". -that's what worries me. i had the phone put in. it's in the back. if we knew someone else who had a phone, we could call them. and since we are celebrating... ..i had this delivered from rackham's department store. -will you open it? no. save it for a special occasion. right, your first job for the company. i want you to get that to my sister. -i don't see her? no-one does. she is hiding from me. i am told she goes to a bathhouse on montague street on woman-only days. she goes in disguise, so i need to get someone inside. -what am i delivering? it's an invitation to a family occasion. i want her there. so, tell her there will be a truce. am i delivering bait for a trap? -if you check that contract i think you'll find it doesn't say anything about asking questions. just give her the invitation. and put that in the cupboard until i say. door opens -what the hell, john? i couldn't get it lit. couldn't even do that. why would you want to be smoking that for? same reason as you. -pain in the head. i spoke to lizzie. i told her what you told me. she said, "your brother tommy is a dirty liar." but then i spoke to her sister and her cousin. -bought them a couple drinks. "just a few of regulars," they said. "that's all." "to keep the wolf from the door, "she still sees a couple of regulars." -you must think i'm an idiot. i think you're the first shelby in history... to have a legal licence for anything. what would our granddad say, eh? he'd be turning in his grave. he imitates his granddad: -"honest bloody money? eh?" "in this house? here?" you always used to do voices when we were kids. -we're not kids now, john. but we still have to look out for each other, right? yeah. yeah. come on. -go home. get some sleep. we've got a big day tomorrow. we have? tomorrow, we finish the war with the lees for once and for all. -since when? since just now. ten o'clock tomorrow. be ready for anything. out you get, boys. -ready, boys? john, ready? yeah. yeah i'm fine. have a drink. -what? what are you all staring at me for? what? good. let's go. -what? tommy, what you playing at? we're in shotgun range. john... ..before we go into battle, there's something you are going to need. what are you bloody doing, tommy? -smile, john, it's a wedding. whose bloody wedding? now if we'd told you, you wouldn't have come. there's a girl from the lee family who's going a bit wild. and she needs marrying her off. -fuck! they talk over each other john! you have no bloody right, tommy! listen to me. -listen to me. a girl who needs a husband. a man who needs a wife. tommy, i'm not bloody marrying some fucking mushroom picker! shh, john boy, come on. -listen. i have already betrothed you. so if you back out now there's going to be one fucking mighty war breaking out here that's going to make the somme... it's going to make the somme look like a fucking tea party. but if you marry her, our family and the lee family will be united for ever. -and this war will be over. it's up to you john. war...? ..or peace? let go of me. -right... you should see the size of her dowry. her what? her dad is giving you a car. will he do? -he'll do. cheering here she is. she'd better be under 50. come here. -go on. we're here today to join in matrimony this man and this woman... you look well. ..and harmony and togetherness. which is sanctioned and honoured by the presence and the power of these two families around us. -do you john michael shelby take esme martha lee to be your beautiful wife? you got my invitation? grace said there's a truce. family day. your husband couldn't make it? -he's not speaking to me. and when he does he calls me a fucking shelby even though i'm a thorne now. thorn in my side, that's for sure. ..to have and hold... my god, tommy. -you admire him, don't you? there remains one more part of the ceremony. it's the mingling of the two bloods. where the two families become the one...family. i now pronounce you man and wife! -cheering come on, john, kiss the bride will you? they cheer he retches cheering -fireworks crackle and bang woman squeals and again. come on, spin me round again. you should tell ada to slow down. -he scoffs you think she'll listen to me? i tried to stop her but she's been drinking. been stuck in that little basement for weeks. what do we expect? she's going off like a firecracker. -oh, christ, tommy, please... enough now. come on. enough. all right, ada, come on, have a rest, sit down. -come and look, esme. come and look at the family you've joined. come and look at the man who runs it. chooses his brother's wives for them. he hunts his own sister down like a rat and he tries to kill his own brother-in-law! -ada, that's enough. and now he won't even let me have a fucking dance! not even at a fucking wedding! sit her down. calm down, ada. -ada, calm down. holy shit! water. right. arthur: -not now, ada. bloody hell, you do pick your times! engine drones slow her up. nice and easy. -story of your fucking life, arthur. right, we are here. come on. nice car, john. how's she run? -yeah, beautiful. really smooth. your sister in there giving birth, you're talking about the bloody car. not much us men can do now, pol. except go get drunk. -right, come on. there's one man should be here. you are right, pol, freddie should be here. is that a heartbeat i hear inside that chest? the truce lasts till sunrise. -on my oath. tell freddie it's safe. ada! right, boys, let's wet this baby's head. she groans -keep going. that's right. push. she screams i think it might be the wrong way round. -i tended three sisters. yeah, i think you're right. we should move her forward. come on, ada. right, come on. -it's not long to go now, darling. ada screams push. two, three. she screams -two beautiful women. i should go. i should go. it's my wedding night. no, you sit down. -you don't want to be among the women when there's a baby coming. have another. so, do you think her husband will take the same advice and stay away? nah. freddie will be there. -nothing will keep him away. tommy's said it's all right for him to be there. isn't that right, tommy? that's right. i'm all heart tonight. -you know what, john boy? i think it's that lovely barmaid, that pretty barmaid that's just walked out that's made our brother go all soft. drinks to that. no audio ada! -come on, open up. there you go, love. baby cries oh, he's beautiful. door closes -it's a boy, freddie. it's a beautiful baby boy. there you go. welcome to the world, son. welcome. -knock at door open up! police! freddie? esme: -you can't come in here, there's a baby just been born. freddie? don't hurt him. freddie! you are hurting him, leave him alone. -you're taking me away from my baby? ada! freddie! distorted sound background music drowns speech -men sing in distance you want me to open that champagne now? doors open it's a boy. pol? -polly? whoa! whoa! whoa! polly! -polly! but the police came and took his father away! don't you dare look at me like that! you liar! it's cleanliness everywhere i look. -it's very disorientating. don't worry, i did not touch your wall of crazy. the idea that irene was murdered by a shadowy kingpin that no one's ever seen or heard of sounded crazy to me, too. but there may be a pattern here. a trail of bread crumbs that leads to a great criminal mind. -and how is napoleon bonaparte involved? by my fifth night without sleep, i may have been reaching. what time is it? uh, it's 9:30. wednesday. -you slept for two days straight. that's why i'm so hungry. i'm supposed to go out for a little while, but if you're still feeling obsessed, i can stay. no, i'm fine. i've been neglecting my hobby. and discuss conspiracy theories. -your hobby is conspiracy theories? no, of course not. they're pure sophistry. large groups of people cannot keep secrets. my hobby is conspiracy theorists. -i adore them. as one would a barmy uncle. or a pet that can't stop walking into walls. have you ever heard anyone say the cia invented crack cocaine? i have. -i started that. that's ridiculous. mm. today, i plan to get in touch with zapruder-- that's the moderator's nom de plume-- and share with him the results of a secret government study, which concludes that rising ocean waters will soon make a new coastline in the appalachian foothills. plans are afoot to move the nation's capital to omaha, and a cadre of elite billionaires is buying up soon-to-be beachfront property. -okay, well, good luck with that. mm. enjoy your errands. sherlock has made progress, but he's fragile. sebastian moran upset the balance that we found. -he's finally ready to deal with his feelings about irene. he's only loved one person in his life, as far as i can tell, and she was murdered. your contract to work as sherlock's sober companion expired a week ago. and if sherlock finds out, it could destroy the trust you've built. have you considered that you yourself could be the catalyst for a relapse? -it's not forever. it may not be forever, but it does sound indefinite. in the meantime, you're not being paid. i'm not living paycheck to paycheck. nor are you obligated to spend your savings on behalf of someone who's no longer your client. -i should really check to see if everything's okay. this thing with-with sherlock, there are steps. captain gregson suspended him from the nypd. that relationship stabilizes him. i just need to reopen that line of communication between them. -watson. you want to tell me whose house this is? zapruder. oh. is that the guy you were talking about this morning? -the conspiracy theorist. his real name is len pontecorvo. he didn't rise to my bait earlier. most unlike the man. i e-mailed several of his colleagues in swirl theory. -turns out, no one has heard from him since sunday. oh, so you decided to break into his house? well, his compatriots feared the worst: black-bagged by the kgb, taken to a secret nasa prison. please don't tell me you agree. -of course not. nasa doesn't maintain prisons. everyone knows that. but i did think he may have had a heart attack or an accident. which is why i let myself in when he didn't answer his door. -this thing we're doing right now, it's called trespassing. well, if you're worried about mr. pontecorvo pressing charges, you shouldn't be. he's got much larger problems than us. == sync, corrected by elderman == the department's taking a break from you. -and you, couldn't take him to the movies or something? i tried. would you have preferred we left mr. pontecorvo to rot? i would've preferred you laid low for a while, instead of digging up some autoerotic strangulation case. auto? -you think he did this to himself? you think he didn't? well, it's hard to tell without removing the belt to examine the ligature marks on his neck. but did notice the belt itself is a 38. rather large for a man of such narrow proportions, don't you think? -could've lost weight. or he could've been strangled by a much larger man and then hung on the machine like a christmas ornament. also, notice the index finger on his right hand. it appears to be fractured, just above the finger nail. hard to auto-eroticize anything with a broken bone in your business hand, no? -i'll tell the m.e. to take a close look at the victim's neck and finger. not necessary. i already texted him. you text him? seems like you think you're a consultant on this case. -you're not. which is why i'm leaving. right after watson and i examine the rest of the house. let you know if we learn anything. been through the man's things. -so far, none of the conventional ways of getting oneself killed apply. pontecorvo didn't owe anyone money, he wasn't sleeping with anyone's wife, wasn't sleeping with anyone. uh, don't you think the police are going to be interested in looking at that? the police are interested in finding the killer, which means they want any and all evidence in my possession. whether they admit it or not. -well, if all pontecorvo did was fill these binders, maybe we should look through them, too. hmm. this one says that north korea is actually the world's largest manufacturer of high school textbooks. the supreme court has been infiltrated by scientologists. it's one of mine. -yes, we may as well bring them with us. worth a laugh, anyway. although, i promise you, there is a conventional explanation for len pontecorvo's murder. information wants to get out, watson. which is why... -there is no such thing as conspiracies. we've covered this. hello, clyde. oh, are you taking clyde? he will starve if we leave him here. -oh, i didn't know you liked tortoises. i love them. they make an absolutely delicious soup stock. what is that? it appears to be a listening device. -someone was bugging the conspiracy nut. you brought that all the way over here just to smash it to pieces? i turned it off. i can't have it in the house. don't know who's on the other end of that thing. -i've confirmed from three different sources, this particular surveillance device is not commercially available. you cannot buy it if you are a civilian. so, what are you saying, the government was bugging len pontecorvo? i thought there was no such thing as conspiracies? consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, watson. -the fact of the matter is, there was a bug in len pontecorvo's home. one of my contacts in london just helped me find spyware on his laptop. someone was monitoring his every move. why? was he on to something? -len pontecorvo, rest his soul, was one of the laziest thinkers i've ever come across. his ideas are insane. most of them, that is. there's one that isn't immediately laughable. i hadn't read about it until a short while ago. -"the red team." yes. the title refers to war games. every year, the army war college stages a series of them. players consist of military personnel and civilian experts. -those representing the united states and its allies comprise the blue team. the red team are the bad guys. hmm. the players change every year, as do the scenarios being tested. but every year, the results are published in trade journals. -except for 2009. those were immediately classified. why? nobody knows. that year's game was designed to test the military response to the activation of a sleeper cell in new york city. -the red team's goal was to cause maximum destruction and chaos with minimum resources. now, len pontecorvo believes they uncovered a flaw in national security. something so startling, it was immediately declared a federal secret. that sounds scary. it also doesn't sound as crazy as the other theories. -yeah. the identities of the red teamers are classified. but pontecorvo uncovered one of them. a counterinsurgency expert called martin nagowski. but this says he died. -he was killed a year ago in a mugging. pontecorvo believes the mugging was staged and nagowski was assassinated to prevent him from revealing the red team's secrets. okay, you had me until then. the government doesn't just go around killing people. it's easy enough to test pontecorvo's theory. -i'll identify the rest of the red team. if they're alive and well, we'll move on. oh, it's that easy. you're just going to find five classified names? why not? -it's my day off. and-and how does the head of lettuce fit in? oh, thank you. i nearly forgot. can't make soup out of clyde until i fatten him up, watson. -that's sick. sherlock feels terribly about what happened. he'd tell you himself, but you know how he is. what would it take for him to come back? is it just a matter of sitting it out or do you want a formal apology? -you make it sound like he took my favorite shirt without asking. holmes planned to torture and murder somebody. sherlock thought that moran murdered the woman he loved. which makes it natural to think about paying him back. an employee of this department does not act on those impulses. -do you want to know what sherlock can do? nothing. and if i had to bet, i'd say he's not even sorry. now, i understand, you're worried about your client, you think that he needs this job to stay sober. i understand that. -but he's broken, and he's broken in a way that has nothing to do with whether or not he's getting high. oh, speak of the devil. hmm. writing to say he's sorry? i'm sorry, i don't remember him. -you want to tell me why we're in a long-term care facility in queens? i spent the afternoon with len pontecorvo's notes. did a little research of my own. worked up a list of names, people that i'm convinced were on the red team. carlo anillo is one of them. -he booked travel to the town that houses the war college on the days of the game. he has a phd in civil engineering. hmm. what's his diagnosis? he was admitted earlier in the year with early-onset alzheimer's. -by all accounts, his mind deteriorated in a matter of weeks. curiously, no one in his family has a history of the disease. that's strange. almost every early-onset case is familial. one member of the red team killed in a mugging, one of them insensate in a long-term care facility. -it's enough to make one curious. well, you can't give someone alzheimer's. you said you're with the nypd? most of the time, yes. you can talk to him now if you want. -thank you. mr. anillo. my name is sherlock. this is my associate, joan. we'd like to ask you a few questions, if that's all right. -sure, if you want. do you remember anything about the time just before you came to the hospital? i'm sorry, no. anything about your work at columbia? how about the army? -you participated in a war game. my father was in the marines. vietnam. mr. anillo. mr. anillo? -i'm sorry, what did you ask me? does he do this often? you mean space out? sure. well, i don't think he's spacing out. -i think he's having a micro-seizure. i don't think so. i asked the doctor about it. she said seizures don't happen to people with that kind of alzheimer's that carlo has. you're confident that was a seizure? -you cannot give someone alzheimer's, but you may be able to mimic its symptoms. alzheimer's patients, they don't have seizures. people who've been poisoned with domoic acid do. domoic acid-- that's what you find in rotten shellfish. it is also a neurotoxin. -it attacks the hippocampus, the seat of memory in the brain. you give someone a large enough dose, they'd lose virtually their entire memory. they would appear to be an alzheimer's patient. you think someone poisoned carlo anillo? why not? -murder is just one way to stop someone from talking. this is much more creative. the beauty is we can test to see if i'm right. if anillo was dosed, we'll know that someone was targeting the 2009 members of the red team, and that that person killed len pontecorvo. we're talking an awful lot for two guys who aren't supposed to be working together. -shh, listen to me. it is highly possible that len pontecorvo's murderer poisoned a man called carlo anillo and murdered someone named martin nagowski, maybe others. we need to look into a war game that was conducted in 2009. no, holmes, stop talking. we just arrested the guy that killed pontecorvo. -i beg your pardon? yeah, it's a guy named gary sullivan from the chat room he moderated. they got into a flame war over some moon landing conspiracy theory. sullivan confronted him in person. things got out of hand. -they guy felt so bad about what he did, he turned himself in. i don't know where this poison stuff is coming from, but sullivan didn't mean to kill len pontecorvo. it was an accident. just so i'm understanding you correctly, neither of you believe that neil armstrong walked on the moon? of course not. -that's not the issue. the issue is who staged the fake landing. excuse me. well, it's obvious that that man is not the mastermind of anything. what are you doing here? -i'm trying to figure out what happened. now, pontecorvo's murder may have been happenstance. that doesn't mean that i'm wrong about the red team. carlo anillo was poisoned. i mean, why are you in this building when you're suspended? -captain, lives may be at stake. we need to find the members of the red team and warn them. the department appreciates your tip in leading to the arrest of gary sullivan. concerned citizens such as yourself play an important role why are you talking like that? in keeping this city safe. -are you listening to me? lives are at stake every day here, holmes, and yet we had a department and a city before you got here. you talk your way into that interrogation room again, and i will have you arrested for trespassing. are you okay? punishment, as if that accomplishes anything. -does he really think that we need the nypd's resources to investigate? don't we? of course we don't. we'll just trace the surveillance device we found at pontecorvo's home back to its source. it's bad enough you're making me sit in a rental car. -okay, i am not gonna listen to static anymore. it's my turn to choose the song. you chose some abysmal racket; i choose static. i find it conducive to thought. -static is not a song; it doesn't end. how can you be sure the person who bugged pontecorvo's house is actually gonna come back for it? if there was one bug in there, the odds are there are others. whoever left it there won't want to risk someone finding it. -the place was in the hands of the police until an hour ago, so they couldn't fetch their things until now. the tv satellite truck that pulled up 20 minutes ago, hmm. he clearly isn't here to install anything. so it seems that he is posing as a worker. and when he realizes there is no surveillance device in the terrarium, we'll simply follow him back to whoever he works for. -have you thought about maybe going and apologizing to captain gregson? might go a long way. the man is a practiced interrogator. he knows an insincerity when he hears one. there's no part of you that feels even a little bad about what you did? -i don't want to discuss this. well, sometimes you have to talk about things that make you feel uncomfortable. i won't feel uncomfortable; you will. why? -i'm smarter than everyone i meet, watson. i know it's bad form to say that, but in my case, it's a fact. allowances have to be made. allowances? it's true -i have wronged captain gregson. it was the cost of revenge, and i incurred it willingly. the larger question is how does my suspension benefit the city? if the role of the public servant is to keep an eye on the greater good, then why keep me from my work? my work is the greater good. -see, you're uncomfortable. oh, fortunately, we will soon have driving to distract us. your bug? what is this place? howdy. -we mostly do business by appointment here. howdy. thought you might want this back. what is this place? nsa? -cia? army intelligence? we do market research. it's been slow. so, who are you guys, anyway? -my name is sherlock holmes. i am a temporarily suspended consultant for the nypd. this is joan watson. she keeps me from doing heroin. and you would be? -bill. bill. well, bill, we know that the man who just walked into this office was surveilling len pontecorvo. bob? no, his sister works here. -they're going out to lunch. i also suspect that this office is keeping an eye on the 2009 members of the red team. red team? yes. those it hasn't already attacked yet. -if, in fact, you are engaged in a plan to eliminate those citizens, i would like you to know that i know who they are. veena mehta, professor of anthropology, expert in middle eastern cultures; solomon zyckner, probability and statistics guru; sheldon frost, the cartographer; -harold dresden, mathematician; leland tantowicz, weapons field expert; and of course, walter mcclenahan, lieutenant colonel, retired. well, it sounds like they would make an interesting dinner party. -mm. i'm gonna make quite certain that nothing happens to them. good for you. i got to ask, though. if the army or the cia or whoever wanted to kill a bunch of people who did something back in 2009, why would any of them still be alive today? -it's the army. they get some helicopters, some rocket launchers and stuff, and take care of it all in one night. that'd be my advice, anyway. and you can keep that. never seen it before. -well, okay. well, that was either a waste of time, or i'm gonna be audited every year for the rest of my life. wasn't a waste. i listed the names of some of the people i thought might be on the red team. -our friend, bill, ground his teeth for some names but not others. you were testing him? and now i know the identities of all of the team members. detective bell, how can i help? so, we just got the results of the tox screen we ran on carlo anillo. -he was poisoned with domoic acid. gregson wants to hear everything you know. happy to oblige, as long as you'll get me a visitor's pass. walter mcclanahan, systems analyst and lieutenant colonel retired. what do you people want? -you're a hard man to find. six addresses in two years. would you come with me, please? something wrong? who are these people? -that's veena mehta, harold dresden, sheldon frost, but i suspect you know that. gentlemen, miss mehta, i know that i'm addressing the 2009 members of the red team. those of you who are well enough to be walking around, anyway. -i'm a free citizen of the united states; i'd like to leave now. nobody's holding you here, mr. mcclanahan. walt, these people aren't with the army. let's just, uh, calm down. -sit down, huh? let's hear what they want. i believe that you're all in danger. now, some you may know that martin nagowski is dead. i believe that his murder was planned. -i know for a fact that carlo anillo was poisoned. you're here because the four of you were brilliant enough to help develop a plan that paralyzed the army with fear. i'm hoping that you might be able to provide some insight as to who's trying to harm you. we should talk, but i'm not going first. we took an oath, sheldon. -if we all talk, nobody can report anyone else. saying a single word to these people is treason. i'm not comfortable with this. this is not something you can walk away from. i'm very sorry. -we warned them, at least. maybe one of them will change their mind, tell us something later. i think maybe one of them just did. i'm pretty sure you shouldn't use clyde as a paperweight. hardly think he minds. -you shouldn't refer to it by its name. it'll just make it harder to enjoy the soup. take a look. i've been reviewing past red team exercises. came across that photograph quite by accident. -it's the man we met earlier today. he introduced himself as "bill"" but the caption lists his name as todd clarke. he was a first lieutenant when that picture was taken. could have been captain by 2009. -you think he had something to do with the red team exercises? he worked at the army war college. he was surveilling pontecorvo. i think we may have already found our "yossarian." what do you think they found? -haven't thought about it. it's my job to find the murderers. yeah, but you live in new york. their plan to attack it was so good they made it a national secret. the world is balanced on a knife edge of destruction every single day. -you accept that, and you can just get on with things. sherlock holmes? and you would be? curious if you know a man named todd clarke. oh, you mean bill? -we were just talking about him. are you in market research, too? sir, you did level a series of accusations at him earlier this afternoon. what's this about? colonel clarke was shot and killed outside his home earlier this evening. -we're going to need you to come with us. you accused todd clarke of masterminding some sort of plot to kill citizens who allegedly took part in army war games. and by 1900 hours, he's dead. you have to admit, the coincidence is striking. it's not striking. -it's not even a coincidence. i suspect that your colonel clarke was killed by the same person who poisoned carlo anillo. question is: why? carlo anillo is a private citizen. his poisoning has nothing to do with this. -yes, so you've said. clarke was not a member of the red team, but he was army intelligence, and he did teach at the war college. which leads me to believe that he was "yossarian," their liaison during the exercise. that means that -clarke knew everything that the red team did. and that makes him dangerous in the eyes of the killer, who may or may not have been affiliated with the government. speaking of which, where were you two at 1900 hours this evening? i'm sorry. do you think this is funny? -i assure you, i find no levity in the death of colonel clarke. then why are you spouting a bunch of nonsense about government assassinations? you know what? we're taking you to inscom in virginia for further questioning. what about my alibi? -there are half a dozen security cameras concealed in my home. if the two of you would be kind enough to collect them, you'll see that i was home at 7:00 this evening. you told me you were getting rid of those cameras. i thought you'd be glad i'm not on my way to a secret prison. -you should have just given them the tapes at the house. then i would not have had to bring them down here. we could have avoided the whole trip. i wanted to take the trip. i wanted them to interrogate me so i could counter-interrogate them. -it worked. whoever's killing the red team does not work at that field office. they thought that i killed todd clarke. they obviously haven't got a clue what's going on. no cabbie is gonna stop if you blow a whistle at them. -cabs have been hailed this way for decades because this is the most efficient way to hail a cab. the murder of todd clarke makes me more certain than ever that someone is killing anyone with knowledge of the red team's plans. i'm just not certain it's army intelligence anymore. who else knew the names of the red team? see? -not stopping. the list could have worked its way up the chain of command. it could have leaked to another agency. then, of course, there's the red team themselves. why would they pick themselves off? -no obvious reason. who are you calling? it's time for the police to take the rest of the team into protective custody. taxi! mr. mcclenahan? -mr. mcclenahan? mr. mcclenahan? are you in there? mr. mcclenahan? how's polk and mahone? -they're lucky those shells were filled with rock salt. they're gonna be laid up for a while, but they'll be okay. super, too. that contraption's not the only weapon we found in the place. assault rifles, knives and a nine-millimeter pistol. -todd clarke was killed with a nine-millimeter. we're gonna run a comparison ballistics test, but i'd say we found ourselves a suspect. holmes says he's on his way. now, i didn't call him. who's texting him pictures of the crime scene? -he probably called in a favor from one of the csu guys. i'll figure it out. we put a bolo out on mcclenahan. hopefully... hopefully he hasn't left town yet... -sorry. says he found mcclenahan. what? yeah. how'd you find him so fast? -i didn't. i just needed you to answer the phone. are the others safe? yeah. mehta and frost are at the hotel already. -dresden, i guess, has taken a while to pack, but he's got our people with him. i'm not coming there any longer. don't wait for me. we're not waiting for you. probably be easier to fire the guy if we ever actually paid him. -mr. dresden, i was surprised to hear that you hadn't gone to the hotel. oh, i'm- they said we're okay for a bit. there isn't much we can do quickly these days. she has limb-onset a.l.s. -two years now. we're here because walter mcclenahan has emerged as a suspect in the red team murders. you think walt did this? i noticed that you and he had a certain... uh, connection; he seemed to listen to you. yeah, sure, i got to know walt. -he's weird, but he's brilliant. we stayed in touch. i guess we became... friends. i think i may be his only friend. then help us find him. -if he's not the killer, he's in danger. if he is, we need to get him into custody before he hurts anyone else. i noticed you didn't exactly howl in protest when i mentioned he was a suspect. without going into specifics, the plan we came up with back in '09 was... disturbing. it's a lot to live with, and it did different things to all of us. -i got back in touch with my brother. i started going to church again. walt went in a different direction. see, there are people who want to know what we found out. bad people. -and walt was convinced that someone was gonna sell our secret. he used to joke that he might as well be the one to do it. and after nagowski got killed, walt told me to look on the bright side. every time one of us dies, there are fewer people to sell the plan. -that makes it worth more and more. i thought he was kidding. he was trying to drive up the price. with the red team dead, any potential buyer would have to come to him; he could charge a fortune. -mm. you have an idea where he is, don't you? yeah. he bought some land out in new jersey. he built a bunker there. -mcclenahan may be in a bunker in new jersey. no, he's not. we just found him. and he's definitely not our killer. a homeless guy found him a little while ago. -he was shot once in the back of the head about 24 hours ago. then the killer dragged him over here. left him like that. where's your shadow, anyway? harold dresden's wife is sick. -she's helping him get her ready for travel. what are these aquamarine fibers on his shirt? oh, yeah. the killer draped a blanket over mcclenahan's face and torso. the patrolman removed it to check his vitals when he arrived on the scene. -he covered his face? you're sure? mm-hmm. that's more care than he took with any of his other victims. suggests an element of shame here. -mcclenahan was killed by someone he knew. the guy didn't seem like a social butterfly. he had one friend. we need to get to the hotel where the red team's gathered. why? -i think the killer may already be there. well, it ain't much, i know, but it's safe. detective, any word on whether they found walt? i don't know how long sheila can stay here. nah, i haven't heard anything yet, but we're on the case. -are the others already here? yeah, the department took the whole floor. ah, that works perfectly. thank you. mr. dresden! -freeze! is everyone all right? we think so. after you called in the warning, one of our guys interrupted dresden just as he was about to shoot veena mehta. we got the rest of the red team out, but he nabbed one of our detectives. -holding him hostage in the room. if harold dresden intended to sell the red team's plans, the motive would be money. he planned to kill the other two team members in a hotel full of policemen? that's not something one typically walks away from. doesn't sound like he plans to go anywhere. -our negotiator called the room phone. dresden gave us his demands. usually a guy wants a helicopter or a bus. he just wants the rest of the surviving red team delivered to him. then he'll let our guy out. -he's on a suicide mission. i need to speak with him. that guy is holed up in there with one of my detectives. i'm not putting this in the hands of a suspended consultant. captain, i know why dresden is doing this, and i know what to say to make him stop. -i understand what's at stake here. i'll get your man out safely. are they here? i think not. why are you calling? -can you keep a secret, mr. dresden? most people say yes when you ask them that, but all they really want is for you to give them the dish. in your case, though, i'd say that you'd earned the right to answer in the affirmative. i have no idea what this is about, but i already told the police what i want. bring me veena and frost. -or i shoot this detective. i think we both know that you won't do that. just as we both know the only person presently in that room that you intend to harm is yourself, mr. dresden. how could you possibly know that? let me in. -let's talk about it. if you hear what i've got to say and you're still in the mood for violence, then i'll leave you to your standoff. i'm quite unarmed. that's better. i prefer a face-to-face, don't you? -mind if i get something from the minibar? nypd's buying. uh, my sober companion couldn't make the trip up here. but i suppose i should forgo alcohol all the same. you said you wanted to talk. -so sit down and talk. i judge people by their behavior. and your behavior can only lead to one conclusion. you're clearly not interested in profit. you just want to be certain that no one learns the plan the six of you came up with. -you're convinced it's gonna get out. and that when it's enacted, thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of deaths will result. but if everyone who knows the plan is dead or stripped of their memory, that can never happen. the math's really quite straightforward. six of you, plus your army contact-- seven lives versus thousands. -you worked slowly at first, you disguised what you were doing. then i start asking questions, you have to speed things up. fortunately, for you, after todd clarke was murdered, we brought all of your remaining targets to this hotel. one thing i can't work out, though, is why you became so certain the plan would leak. you didn't start killing for two years after the war game. -two years ago... that's when sheila woke up one morning and told me she felt this twitching in her hand. you know much about the progression of a.l.s.? you lose about two percent of your body's functions every month. two years in, all i can do is try to keep her from getting bed sores. -i'd been approached before about selling our plan. i think we all had cryptic e-mails, strangers coming up to you in the subway. who'd they represent? they never said. one of them did say he could help sheila if i talked to him. -it was two years ago. yeah, right when she first got sick. i knew he was lying, of course. but even so, i spent days thinking about it. if he'd been able to do a thing for her, -i'd have told them everything i know. see, everyone's got that one thing, don't they? some weakness that could lead you to betray every principle you ever had. the thing we created had value. and i realized it was only a matter of time until someone put a price on it. -so you made arrangements for your wife's care. got down to business. so, you figured out my plan-- congratulations. and thank you for helping me enact it. when i only had one policeman in here, i had no leverage. -now, once i shoot you, they'll realize i'm serious about killing that detective. they'll give me what i want. eight lives versus thousands. math still works. -i'm amazed you still haven't worked it out. there really is no such thing as a secret. the plan, it's in a memo. it's been e-mailed back and forth. it was labeled "for eyes only." -no one but the white house situation room has access to it. i know what it is. you do not! i do. i worked it out hours after taking the case. -and before you pull that trigger, you should know, i told a colleague. i wrote it down. your secret is out. if you're telling the truth that's checkmate. -so... what's the plan? don't move! alright, hands behind your back. detective okay? -all good! you okay? how did you get dresden to come out? well, i knew the red team's plan, and i told him that. how did you figure that out? -i thought very quickly and very carefully. you mean you guessed? well... i had a notion as to the red team's strategy, i just... chose the most likely one. gun to one's head, very powerful stimulus. -captain, i think that you and i owe each other a conversation. i got to deal with this. there's a place called mcnabb's at 43rd and 12th. meet me there in an hour. i'm not really supposed to be spending much time in bars. -well, tonight is not about you. if i'm gonna have this conversation, i'm gonna have a drink to go with it. i regret that circumstances caused me to endanger our relationship. it was a price i was willing to pay for revenge. -as was the likelihood of going to prison. as it turns out, there's no revenge to be had. given that, it serves no one's interest for you to keep me from my work. who the hell are you? i beg your pardon? -'cause obviously, you're not the person i thought you were. i don't know how to answer that question. you don't let anyone into your life that's not constantly concerned with you. what kind of mood you're in, whether you're getting high or not, whether you're gonna work like an adult or throw a temper tantrum. you know what? -most of the time, you're worth it, because you are special. damned if you don't know it. but you are. you want to work cases? you're right. -i can't say no. don't think for a minute that i'm ever gonna forget that you were planning to murder someone on my watch. and don't think that i'm ever gonna really trust you again. you don't need to trust me to benefit from my intellect, do you? no, i don't. -but i do need to get something out of my system. welcome back. watson hey, i didn't hear you come in. um, how'd it go? well, i've been reinstated. -well, you don't sound too happy. are you eating soup? i was hungry. please tell me you didn't cook clyde. the soup is split pea. -these are magnificent creatures. clyde will likely outlive both of us. you didn't really think i would eat him, did you? i don't know. i guess it's hard to know what you're gonna do. -you want to tell me what happened with gregson? all right. good night. == sync, corrected by elderman == to arrive on our tables, a meal travels an average of over 1100 miles. -it passes through the hands of dozens of individuals. how many of them can you trust? i haven't told you the whole truth. i want you to know everything. i'm not a killer, but i am indirectly responsible for the three deaths the police are accusing me of, and other deaths, that i don't know about. -yunnan province, southern china shitou, how do you feel today.. what's the matter, shitou? port of gioia tauro, italy amore, amore, amore. -i could be italian, right? amore, amore, amore. hey, you're early. not early enough, eh? you miss italy? -yeah, especially that restaurant we always go to. well, i already booked us a table. yeah, they're gonna prepare raw squid. and there is a wonderful lady who's dying to be your guest. ah. -did she like my gift? i don't know. you can ask her yourself. just listen to this shit! always a pleasure to see you. -same here, captain. speed up, we're waiting for you. contact the health office.. gonna be here in a couple of hours. captain.. -the mercury is approaching, keep in touch. we finally have the opportunity to catch this son of a bitch. don't blow it. guys, do not blow it, eh! ? -i see them. find out who's dirty, then let them go. roger that. they are meeting alone with an official, dr. rama. over. -what is it this time? fish, 200 tons. where from? japan. fukushima. -the nuclear accident..? radioactive fish. not the usual crap, it'll cost you more. or less. maybe we can find somebody else. -you can't cut me out, i know too much. maybe that's why we should cut you out. come here. complete a visa for these gentlemen. yes, right away. -type of cargo, food. provenance, japan. name of ship ... mercury. mercury. -results of health test, negative. thank you. you're welcome. ok, you go down to the wharf, you wait for the ship, and i'll join you in a.. 10 minutes. -where are you going? to make a phone call. you know, i'd like to get laid after business. ok. what's going on? -they split up? shit, shit! block all the exits of the harbor. block all the exits of the harbor! do it! -hello captain? abort! abort! yeah, the restaurant in closed. yeah, get out of here. -hey, the cops are on the move, i don't like. they were expecting us. what! ? you know the rules. -you know we never met. well wait a minute! wh.. what about me! ? i'm sorry. -you're fucked. i'm out of here. but .. it's my birthday! hands up! stop! -son of a bitch! happy birthday... do you know anything about plants, mr. valli? i can tell the difference between, uh.. edible and poisonous. i was once a farmer, plants were my life. -now i only have time for these penjing. you know the meaning of the word? the japanese copied them from you, and call them "bonsai". i was told, how you saved mercury's cargo. the cargo was unloaded in rotterdam, and now it's in stores all over europe. -you have never disappointed me. i've been lucky. the rarest of virtues. do you know what i appreciate about these plants? they depend on me, i decide everything about them. -size, the shape... life, death. as you know, my group handles a wide range of investments. what if i told you that.. i needed a lucky man, to whom i would entrust the food sector, what would you say? go on. -new name, new life, enough money to make sure you don't miss getting old. and what's my new name? mister... mercury! like the ship i saved. -by the god of fraud. you will need his protection. the meeting's nearly over. will you be joining us? mister mercury. -he's gonna work for us. zhao, my son. nice to meet you. it's a pleasure. he just returned from england, where he studied at the london school of economics. -a very selective school. i expect the most from the person who will take my place. and i'm his only son. run while you can. i'm afraid it's a bit late. -you'll do good things together. hello? hello.. no, i'm late, i'm sorry. it's pouring out here. -no, i don't think i can make it.. yes? what? because... ok. -hello..? what do you mean "stop"? it's been 2 years. and you are my lawyer, how can you tell me to stop? it's not about money. -it's about justice. i want to press charges, ok? ..going to be late. thank you. please keep me informed. -thank you very much. bye. they're gonna buy from singapore, so i don't think.. i'll meet you there, ok? ok, good call. -so six for fifty tons. they offered me nine! always the same gig! come on, wu! i'll think about it. -listen, wu, this is our final offer. you always know we deal in final offers. i told you, i'll think about it! look, wu: your pigs got more antibiotics than proteins. now that's good for them, 'cause they're healthier than i am. -but not so good for the people that eat 'em, these are more cancerous than uranium. i suggest you take the offer. $200,000 in your singapore bank in thirty seconds. take it or leave it. yes? -no? done. you're a rich man. let's go. ...a live one. -let's go, move it! find out who offered them nine. scare 'em a little? no. we'll sell them the pigs and make $500,000 in 10 minutes. -what a day. call you later, ok? be safe. hi, paul. yeah, i just need to check the account on hong kong dollars. -did you wire the money? yeah, good. ok. just everything in cash. no, transfer goes directly from russia to korea. -and i want you to channel it back to singapore. the new cargo is going to leave odessa next week. they know the bank. yes, they know the account. dressed already? -you work by nights... i work by day. i don't remember your name. i never gave it to you. there's some kosher breakfast in the other room if you want it. -if you don't like it, just call room service. ok? kosher.. i didn't realize that.. you were jewish. -i'm not. but i feel safer having a rabbi checking my food. should be $5000, hope that's ok. the rest of the world calls it 2001. historical chinese calendar refers to it as the year 4639. -whatever it's called, that year changed the world. and not because of the collapse of the twin towers.. the world changed because china entered the global market, and is today, its leader. old barriers collapsed that year: duties and taxes on chinese products. -but new ones have been erected, those on food, health, environmental safety.. set up to slow down the development of this country. barriers that we found ways to bypass. take the "made in italy" label, for example. one of the most prestigious we have, and salable. -cold cuts, cheeses, oils, pasta, wine. four-fifths of the world's foods, that boast that fake brand, are ours. a volume of business worth tens of millions of dollars, every year. but that's the past. the future is africa. -africa! yeah! africa! america and europe have preyed on that continent for centuries... and now, now it's our turn! -africa is the biggest producer of babies in the world. and babies need one thing in particular: milk. there are less controls in africa. powdered milk is distributed by non-governmental organizations that worry more about quantity than quality. -now, if an alternative is to die of starvation, then adulterated milk beats.. having.. nothing. that's why i call it, the "white africa operation". thank you. mister lao. did you enjoy? -what about india's krdb group? it will be hard to try to better their powdered milk. could be a hard, both industrial and commercial battle, but the profits to be made are enormous. you remind me of myself many years ago, mister mercury: ambitious and merciless. -i hope to continue following in your footsteps, mr. lao. to everything there is a season, mister mercury. matteo? interesting report. you have just one defect. -i'm not chinese. mister lao did a good job. it's time to change. if the white africa operation is successful, you will take his place. the sky's the limit. -it's the highest position someone like you can aspire to, in this country. thank you, mister feng. thank you. two more of the same. hey! -what's up? who said i want another one? well, you got at least three reasons to celebrate. oh, really? . -one, i found the people who offered nine, i sold them the entire stock. good. two, it's your birthday! that's nice of you, thank you. and three... what's being said. -what about mister feng's promise to make you ceo? if viruses spread like gossip, man would be extinct. well, is there any truth in it? i don't know. you see, i think there are three kinds of men: -those who tell the truth.. in my country we call them "saints." those who are so powerful they don't give a shit about truth, and we call them "princes". and then it's me and you and everybody else, who hover between truth and lies. my father was a saint. mister feng is a prince. -and i'm done with being in the middle, always cheating on everyone. good. then let's go out and really celebrate. hm? ok. -well my friend, i've got a little surprise for you. what..? it's your birthday present. are they gorgeous, or what? huh? -i told you we were going to really celebrate! hello! ladies, this is matteo.. olga. what's your name? -olga. the most beautiful monique.. hello. monique. that's matteo. -we're gonna go have a little bite in a very nice restaurant i know, celebrate his birthday.. very lovely. let's get a cab.. alright, yeah. -this one. ok. we're gonna go have a great meal, we're gonna have a few drinks.. we're gonna have some fun... ah, yeah? -is this place far? no, 10 minutes, we're there. i'm really excited about tonight. i'm glad, honey. so am i. -yeah? are you? you wanna meet my friend, have a really good time? whats that? that's very big! -semi-automatic beretta. 22 caliber. i gotta little bigger caliber, if you want. may i? wow! put his gun down. -have you ever killed anyone? are you kidding? come on. that's just for show, put it down. have you? -hey, hey! put it down. put it down! what are you doing? it's a real gun, you don't play with it! -why do you have this? sorry, sorry sir. it's ok. toy gun. toy! -from the outside it's not really inviting. it's the food that matters. what would you like to drink, darling? would you like wine, would you like beer? i like thai beer. -do you have thai beer? of course. what would you like? chinese. one chinese beer. -what are you drinking? whatever. beer is fine. four beers! ok. -one thai, three chinese beers, thank you. can i have a talk with you one second? i come here about once every two months. i have a special request. we serve all the best chinese teas. -no thank you, i would like to see the kitchen. i'm sorry? i would like to see the kitchen. come on, matteo. i would like to inspect the food.. -come on, matteo. please! do you have to do this? can you ask? is that possible? -ok, all right.. there's a gentleman out there who wants to see the kitchen. what do i say to him? point him out to me. it's him. -typical westerner. ignorant and prejudiced. let him come. i'll show him. she's my best friend, she is very shy. -but she's interesting... if you'd like to follow me sir? thank you, all right. sorry. i'll be right back. -do you really have to do this? i bet i find some of our product. all right. what do you wanna bet? your cut of today's deal. -come on! if i don't find any, you lose because they are not a client. if i do find some, you lose, because you brought me here to eat. what? it's a no-win situation.. for him. -the gentleman who wished to see the kitchen. it's a pleasure. i'm cooking. it wouldn't be hygienic. go ahead. -here's the ravioli. so? you've seen the kitchen... well, i want to see the ingredients, the herbs, utensils... if everything is clean. all you need to see is right here, in front of you. -trust me... or you can get out. it's about the food. nothing else. look, he's back. -he's back! i'm back and i'm very hungry. good! i'm starving, myself. cheers! -cheers! here's the potatoes. oh, wow! that looks so good! oh my god! -thank you so much! fabulous! excellent! thank you. your restaurant's falling apart, but it's delicious. -i complained and i was punished. listen, it's not about the furnishings... look what is coming. oh, my gosh. see? -that's so sweet! it's a surprise. from me to you. that's nice. thank you. -make a wish. ok. cheers. happy birthday, my friend. i wanted to express my appreciation of the food. -'twas, excellent! you weren't so appreciative before. i didn't know you before. you don't know me now. you simply trusted me. -then i guess i did the right thing. you offended me. it wasn't personal. food is always personal. listen, i... -matteo! it's time to go. yeah, go on ahead. i'll meet you later, ok? aren't you going to buy me a drink? -oh yeah, sure. sure. oh! i'll just take that. first round is on me, ok? -i'll meet you later. and tell my friend i'll be late. ok. well, it seems like i can't put a foot right tonight. do you want to redeem me? -so, where do you want to start? utensils? let's go drink at last! ooooo! i can't wait.. -that's from the northeast of china. it's the best rice you can get. and the mushrooms. they're from my home town, yunnan. farmers pick them every spring. -the water.. is from the yangtze springs, and high plateaus of tibet. at an altitude of 4,000 meters. 4,512. wow. impressed? -'twas on the bottle. oh guys, there's a cab! anymore questions? one. why? -i like to cook. this isn't cooking. it's warfare. oh, i just want to give people the chance to eat something other than garbage. that's why. -well, the restaurant is half empty. i haven't seen many people around here. rich people won't come to eat in a place like this. no, they want the frills, the trappings of luxury. yeah, it's very simple, very chinese. -anyway, it's the quality of the food that counts. people eat with their eyes, not with their stomach. deception is the name of the game. truth is a luxury, like your little restaurant. you are wrong. -you are wrong. no! you are wrong. you came here to eat. it wasn't my idea. -and then you decided to stay. because you felt you could trust me. how often does that happen? xiwen. it's one o'clock. -i'll be leaving. sure, fan. i'll see you tomorrow. miss xiwen, i'm all finished. your girlfriend must be waiting for you. -she isn't my girlfriend. she seemed to think so. deception is the name of the game. you smile. should i go? -sure. we're closed. matteo. xiwen. where are you from? -italy. nice. yes. far away. i hope you'll come back. -basil. that's your herb, blended with a mixture of cellulose, no essences. the thought never crossed my mind. thank you. good night. -who are you? who are you working for? give me the gun... check if he still has a pulse. he's dead. -the last load was covered in mold! we make it with rotten eggs. what do you expect? i expect that it looks like it's fresh out of the chicken's ass! and increase the color. -i don't want to see mold in it, no cadaverine, no putrescine. increasing the color increases the price. not if i supply the color. i have a load of industrial dye to get rid of. and don't give me these huge cans: -i need 20, 25 liter cans. you know what we sell it for, right? schools, homes, prisons! the cargo is leaving for europe on monday. on the label: "egg product". -sweet name, right? move! hello? what do you mean, thomas? when? -ok. i'll be right there. no no, i'll go. the three victims were shot at close range with a handgun. no witnesses have stepped forward and no other evidence has been shared. -the murder weapons have not yet been recovered. detective xi chan... has been handed the case. we have learned that the original murders were come across by a wedding couple taking pictures. this information and images from earlier on -exactly. by the pair, were popularized by the press. we have no other information at this time. get it back to the lab... what do we got here? -hey. this man watching... you guys want to close up the bags? yeah. good morning. -good morning. i have an appointment with miss ree. alright, go right in. please. thank you. -good morning, miss ree. good morning. i got a letter from the bank, and i just want to make sure there's no mistake. well, let's take a look. -i'm afraid there's no mistake. two days. if you don't pay the debts by then, the bank is going to take away your apartment and the restaurant. i'm sorry. i thought i could have another two months. -we've already given you all the extensions possible. i'm sorry. so, uh.. is there any way i could have... i'm sorry, my hands are tied. is there.. anything else i can do? -no, i guess. i hope i bet on the right horse. i think it's a private matter. private? some years ago i bought a thoroughbred for twenty million dollars. -it was the fastest and most expensive animal in all of asia. a few weeks later, it was found dead in a field. they discovered that my jockey had been running it in illegal races. i don't like secrets. neither do i. -i've lost. this is the problem. taste it. powdered milk. powdered, yes. -milk? almost. but with an additive which will fool any test. melamine? a new, heterocyclic composition. -simpler, less expensive. mortality rate? below 0.5 percent. what's the problem? it's not ours. -hi, greg. hi. this is the krdb group's milk. he managed to get a sample for us from their laboratories. that's why they pay me the big bucks. -how far ahead are they with their research? they're already in production. it's a no-brainer. it simulates the same nutritional value as ours, but costs a third less. so, when the world health organization chooses the milk to be distributed in the refugee camps: no hesitation. -they chose this. then let's do something about it. let's fuck the indians. be happy. we're gonna fuck the indians. -yes, mister bai. i'm good, how are you? so, you got my e-mail? yeah, thank you. yes, i've asked you because i know how fond you are of my restaurant. -yes. ok. we will never be able to pay them back. we're going through a very difficult time. yes, i understand. -i know, i know. i will repay the money as soon as possible. yes. yes. i'm just asking for two more weeks! -that's not a lot to ask! ok. thank you. i see. it doesn't matter. -yeah, thank you anyway, for calling me back. it was very kind of you. you, too. have a nice day. yeah. -so, how much? six hundred tons. so we make, fifty per ton. eighty. fifty. -seventy. fifty. i make no money on fifty! you make money on fifty. ok. -cash as usual. of course. heigh ho, matteo. so what's happening? what are you dealing? -well, scraps of processed leather. we buy it from the russians, and sell it to south america. what do they do with it? grind them, and mix it with food for fish, chickens, cows... they feed animal skins to grass eaters? -yeah. no, that can't be right. i'll never figure that out. well, think about 1000 percent profit and you'll figure it out easy. besides, it can't be that bad for you. -people keep eating that shit, and the average age keeps going up and up. look at you! yeah. you did a good job with the indians. thanks. -wasn't exactly good news for you though, was it? let's get inside, i need to talk to you. thomas' murder. it's all everybody talks about. i need to know who's behind it. -what about the police investigation? isn't that enough for you? no, i need to know before the police. ok. do you have an alibi? -listen, i didn't ask that you investigate me. oh don't worry, the cops are going to do that! i was searching for thomas all night. so you don't have an alibi! no, i don't have an alibi! -but i think thomas had nothing to do with it. well, we'd better find out who did have something to do with it, before the police throw your ass in a hong kong prison. alright, thank you. i'm so sorry. thank you for understanding. -it's nothing, was my pleasure. are you closing down? yep. the bank is taking everything. the restaurant, my apartment. -how come? you were right. people who can afford my cooking don't come to a place like this. as you grow older and you learn to hate being right. did you forget to check something the other night? -no. let's go for a walk. sure. he ate at my restaurant at least once a week. the other night was the first time i had seen him with anyone. -had you seen the girls before? no. why do you ask? they were killed, the other night. all of them. -what? yeah. were you good friends? i've been asking myself a thousand questions about thomas, trying to figure out if there was something about him i didn't know. if he had a double life i didn't know anything about, or... or if he was killed because he was working for me. -what do you do? uh, security. it's... it's a field with a lot of unknowns. i know what it means to lose someone dear to you. you don't get over it. -sorry for the restaurant, i wish i could help. really? yeah. we all need help and someone to trust, don't we? i thought you said, we all need to deceive. -thank you for the offer. but, the situation is... beyond help. so, what are you going to do? well... i'll... close the restaurant and then i'm going to treat myself -to something i haven't done for years. like what? a day off. i wish i could spend that day with you. your ferry. -your ferry. no. i live above my restaurant. i'm sorry. i thought i was walking you home. -so, i hope you have a nice day off. you too, and... hope you get your smile back. bye. hi, paul. -i need a money transfer. yeah, 500,000 dollars. no, no information on the source. thank you. we have to protect ourselves, don't you agree? -of course. let's do it right away. any news on thomas' death? why are you asking me? i summoned you here because mister lao and i are worried. -the operation "white africa" is our future. thomas' death, and this annoying investigation must not put it at risk. that won't happen. i promise. -no loose ends. you need someone to trust, walking along side you. zhao is that person. that's a very good idea. i wouldn't have chosen better. -i hope this is not an extra burden on his already busy schedule. it's only a temporary measure. and things will return to normal. unless the investigation turns against you. my role forces me to be frank, matteo: we are expendable. -the organization is not. i'm sure such drastic changes will not be necessary. i will introduce you to the suppliers and bring you up to speed on "white africa". good. -i hope i don't take up too much of your time, sir. you'll learn quickly. and mister mercury is a good teacher. mister mercury? the detective would like to talk to you. -...if it's not a problem. no, not at all. our legal department will take care of mister mercury. i'll take care of it. but i suggest you call a lawyer. -thank you for coming. i know you time is real precious. i bet you know a lot of things about me. i know a few things. i summoned you here to give you some good news, and some bad news. -the good news is, we found the pistol that killed your collaborator. the bad news is... it's got your fingerprints all over it. i touched the pistol when the girls showed it to me. but this was hours before the murders were committed. -i didn't fire that pistol. we found this credit card on one of the murdered girls. it is yours. do you think i would have left my credit card if i had killed them? that depends on why you would kill them. -i.. did.. not.. kill them. do you remember what time you left the restaurant? no, i don't remember. let me help you jog your memory. according to these printouts, you tried to call your friend eleven minutes past one, shortly before he was killed. -killing someone because he's not picking up my phone calls is a bit exaggerated. don't you think? do you remember, what time you left the restaurant? i don't remember. the name of the restaurant? -thomas booked the restaurant, so why don't you check your printout? we'll do that. until we meet again, mister... mercury. mister mercury. -can i have my passport back? not yet. may i go? do you want me to go to the bank with you? no. -thanks, fan. i'd rather take care of it by myself. go home. i'll call you. i will come back later. -ok. such a waste! hi. matteo! what are you doing here? -i have a favor to ask you. sure. to lie. the police will be here soon. they're going to ask you what time i left the restaurant the other night. -at one o'clock. we both know that. tell them i left at three. why? i have no choice. -but, what are they accusing you of? murder. they say i killed thomas and the two girls i was having dinner with, the other night. i didn't do it. i'm innocent. -i can't. i'm sorry, i can't help you. i can't do something like that. that's ok. i knew you would've said that, you're too honest to lie. -i tried. can't say i didn't try. listen. if you just suspect i might be innocent... trust me. please. -i trusted you. i can't. hello? ! anybody here? -hello? sorry, i can't. i'm sorry, the restaurant is closed. well, we're not here to eat. i'm detective xi chan, i'd like to ask you a few questions about some of your patrons. -sure. please, just excuse me for a moment. i just need a minute of your time! ma'am! she'll be back. -ma'am? yes. sorry, i just want to ask again, do you recognized them? they dined here, three nights ago. have they been here before? -he ate here quite often. but i'd never seen the girls before. they were murdered that evening... and we suspect that it was him. is it true that these three left earlier? -yes. and, so why did he stay behind? he was interested in the kitchen. the kitchen? yes. -so, what time did they leave? around midnight? and him? uh, three o'clock i believe? three o'clock? -yeah. so that's 3 hours in the kitchen? yes. lying to the police is a serious offense. you know that? -it's ok. if you remember anything about the case that might be useful to the investigation, please give me a call. sure. have a nice day. -you too. good day, ma'am. you recognize her? yeah, that's one of the two girls i was having dinner with. that's right -what do you know about her? her name's irina... some fucking enormous russian name. she's got a police record as long as your arm: robbery, pick-pocketing, a lot. how she got thomas' pistol. -oh, she could do that. that would be no problem for irina. my guess is, she was killed so that you'd be framed. that makes sense. but who's behind it, eh? -fuck i know? you're the guy, who gets all the information! then i need you tell me, who wants you out of the way. that would help. no idea. -come on! no, i don't know.. the japanese people, you know, for the meat business. no, this is "old" stuff, this is... no. come on! dead. -who wants you gone? krdb. the indians. for the milk contract. yeah. -well, given the money that's involved, i can see some people thinking that's worth three lives. but tell me, matteo: why kill thomas? why the fuck did they kill thomas, and not you? -huh? no idea. no idea... madam xiwen. nice to see you. -here are the keys and the documents... wait. didn't you get my e-mail? it's all been taken care of, two days ago. your debts have been paid off. -what? you didn't know? by whom? i thought by you, i don't know. it came in on a numbered account. -of course it was him. he's paid you back for your lies. he paid my debts two days before he came to see me. he didn't meet me then. he knew he would have to ask you for an alibi. -what do you know about him? i just believe he's innocent. he's accused you. no, fan! yes, i like him. -but that's not the reason, i... i know what this restaurant means to you. no, fan, you don't know. you don't know what it means, how it feels, to lose a child in that way! i opened this restaurant so that shitou's death would not be in vain! -closing down would be like reliving his death! we will open the restaurant! i will help you! but if you go to jail because of this man, it will all be over. don't trust him! -otherwise, you will have nothing but trouble. sajnani! hey! matteo! come here, mother-fucker! -how much do you know about that? about what? how much do you know about the three people that got killed! who? i don't know! -three people got killed! how much do you know? it wasn't us, we don't need to! you don't need to? no. -i'm going to take you to the slaughter house, cut you in pieces and serve you to all the fast food of manila! how much do you know about it? nothing! who did it? somebody bigger than both of us. -what do you know about it? it wasn't us! if you know anything, you call me. yeah. we're together. -get the fuck outta here. mister mercury. any messages? there's a new girl for you. do you want me to send her up to your room? -no. hi. i have to thank you. that was... very brave of you. i'm sorry, i can't accept. -why not? i feel bribed. i lied to the police because i trust you, not so you would save my restaurant. i covered your debts before i asked you to lie for me. you can check. -i don't know what to say. don't thank me. i did it for a very selfish reason. i want to eat at your restaurant again. even though it's such a cheap, old place? -we can change a few things. i want it to be very unique. you can break through that wall. i'd like to make an archway back here. we're going to make this space a buffet. -and just put all the candles... ok, and maybe some lighting... hold on a minute... is that possible? romantic! -hey, look out, sorry ... this can go. what we don't like, we'll change. we'll do that! it looks nice, right? -you like this format? very nice. print it. i love these red chairs! really? -great! i'm sorry, we haven't succeeded in synthesizing the compound from krdb. it's more complicated than expected. securitize it. it's quite simple. -in finance, when you need to raise cash, you sell debt in the form of shares, toxic shares, that aren't even worth the paper they're printed on. in layman's terms? our rivals sell expired milk with fake milk proteins. we will sell fake milk, with fake milk proteins, it's quite simple and cheaper. -what do you mean "fake"? whatever looks like powdered milk. flour. ground rice. chalk. -anything that looks like powdered milk will do. as long as it doesn't have an expiration date and costs less. adulterating powdered milk causes the death of many children. to distribute chalk, flour, whatever, as powdered milk more children will die and will alarm all international organizations. at which point we'll start using expired milk just like our rivals. -we would've earned enough money to buy the silence of any government in the world. we have another brand, "baby lac". use that. it's reassuring, it's healthy, perfect for "white africa". mr. matteo, if you want to win this battle, -i suggest you make a decision quickly. time is running out. ok. let's make milk... without milk. -it's beautiful. you disappeared. i've been busy. well, we don't open until tomorrow. i know. -but i love empty restaurants. it's like being back home. my father had a restaurant in milan. nothing fancy. the food was good and... and that's where i grew up, between the kitchen, the tables, the larder... -so, what happened to it? my father died. and i sold it. it's a pity. it's a pity. -well, what do you think? satisfied? it's the best investment of my life. but i'll be satisfied when i can eat your food again. how about you? -i'm happy to see you. good morning. hey! good morning! room service. -wow. this is italian breakfast, especially homemade for you. thanks a lot. cappuccino, fresh oranges, marmalade, biscuits and ... -croissant. no no, that's french. cornetto. cornetto. cornetto. -thank you. sorry. one second. yeah. hey. -we need to talk. let's meet at my hotel. one hour? not a good idea. why? -what's going on? meet at the place by the docks. now. ok. i'll meet there. -matteo. come alone. ok. ciao. problems? -i have to go. so, i'll see you tonight? did you mean what you said before? that you would live with me? try asking me. -we sent another two cargo ships to europe today. i can't believe this "shit" we're sending everywhere. this was a fishing village. then we came with our war ships, and we "forced" the emperor to gift this to us. china was swamped in opium, from india. -and that was just the start. never thought of you as an idealist. i got her profile from the company she worked for. which was? us! -fuck! the feng group... the fucking feng group. she handled the docks, matteo, like me: the espionage, infiltration, investigations, just like me! -same level in the fucking payroll. now she's gone. i won't fucking make monarch now, will i? so we got a spy-pickpocket-killer, on our payroll. now the question: who's pulling the strings? -yeah, that's right, matteo. that's the question. money. hong fucking kong fishing village. the emperor should have kick our asses right back into the sea! -don't trust anyone. don't trust me, because i sure as fuck, don't trust you. hope to see you soon. thank you. the opening went well. -well? "well" is when a restaurant is only half full. do you have any idea how long i'm booked up for? no. three. -three days? three weeks. three weeks? what a way to go! i know. -seems, everyone wants to eat here. like you said. people eat with their eyes. yeah. people eat with their eyes. -what's this? a c-section. one of the few things of my son i have left. how old was he? four. -his father was married to another woman so, he never saw his son. han shitou. that's my son's name. it means "little stone." he lived with my parents while i worked for a multinational here in hong kong. -and he... died in my arms from food poisoning. an adulterated drink. fruit juice mixed with pesticide. there were several cases. -you might have read about it. it was big news for a while. after he died, i quit my job and... used up all my savings, first in a legal battle, with the makers of that juice. and then in the restaurant. i can't understand why this place is so important to me. -why i'm so grateful to you for what you've done. i'm sorry. i have not had a single day of happiness until i met you. i'd like to welcome you all, to our third event of the year, here in hong kong, including all the representatives of north and south america... all over the globe, europe, the african continent, and of course, asia. -after study tests of the product which you brought to our attention, and an evaluation of the industrial reliability and standards of the companies which you represent, the commission which i chair is now ready to announce it's decision. the contract for the supply of powdered milk for non-governmental organizations operating on the african continent goes to ... the "baby lac brand". well, you can tell your father. he must be very happy. congratulations. -yeah. the worst won. good luck. what else do we need? madam xiwen? -i need you to come with me. it's ok. i'm sorry, i'm busy. it's important, you need to come now. just give me a reason. -why? we'll explain that. please? sure. she'll be fine. -thank you very much xiwen? fan. here.. that's ok. -have some water, miss xiwen. and start thinking clearly. this is mister ni tong. from beijing's food safety administration. we don't have much time, so i'm going to get right to the point. -we know of your involvement with mister matteo mercury. and we know that you've lied to give him an alibi. but that's not why you're here. his name is not "mercury". and neither is he the good man that you think he is. -he's involved in the traffic of adulterated foods all over the world. like the juice that killed your son. no. it's not true. we can present you with written and video proof. -but you're an intelligent woman. you wouldn't be here if it weren't true. you have two choices. help us incriminate him and stop his organization, or be considered an accomplice and face arrest. you decide. -do you know how many children and babies have been effected by this business? 293,000. how many more mothers have to lose their children, before somebody puts a stop to them? 293,000! think about it! -stop wasting time! i can't believe it. i can't believe it. hey. come in. -come in. you're all wet. what's going on? wait. what is it? -you're wet. come here. come here! what's wrong with you? ah, don't... touch me! -wait! wait! stop it, stop. what is it? what's wrong? -come here. i need you. stop! stop it! what is it? -come here. is everything ok? yeah. my phone was ringing. i forgot to turn it off. -let's go to sleep. yeah, i'll turn it off now. i hope that this urgency is justified. what i'm about to tell you is worth every cent you've paid me to date, mister lao. i am monitoring everything. -it will be done smoothly. this is a very delicate matter. understood. good morning. good afternoon. -you overslept. it's past 5 pm. what are you doing here? i live here. sure, i mean ... -shouldn't you be at work? i took the day off. computer, cell phone, everything is off. i'm all yours. why... this surprise? -tonight i need to be with you. i need to be with someone i trust. ok, so lantau south, hei ling chau and chan chau. they're in place?

yes. yes, on my phone. -one of my men will get to you as quickly as possible. i'll talk to you later. you'll hand him the phone. bye. i'll take care of this. -alright, we'll communicate by radio. ok. let me know if anything comes up. got it. enough. -get on with it. i'm truly sorry that you had to make such an important decision. we are all expendable. him included. this town... so neat, so... so clean. -when i first came, i thought everything was gonna be perfect. now i want you to know everything. i'm not a killer. but i am indirectly responsible for the three deaths the police are accusing me of and other deaths that i don't know about. all my money comes from the traffic of adulterated food. -i sell everything. to anyone. everywhere. your son died because of people like me. i have no words to justify what i have done. -i can only say that i'm deeply sorry and the disgust that i feel for myself is due ... to meeting you. i'm turning my back on it all. for you. hello? hello? -i'm outside right now. are you listening? you need to bring the phone to me, now. just don't be stupid or you'll be in very big trouble. hello? -hello? let's get out of here. now. i know everything. i have since yesterday. -i was going to collaborate with the police and have you arrested. here's the data. do what you like with it. why?

i suppose money can buy you love, after all. i don't understand. you're an only child. -the organization will be yours one day. why? you showed me, that just because you're the only child, doesn't mean you're the chosen child. but yes, the organization will be mine. sooner, rather than later. -and as you say, tie up all loose ends. i'll make use of your mistakes, matteo. thank you very much. get the phone. you're online... -traditional cooking as always?

-in a breaths time? from now on all my breath is yours, two weeks if you're going to live, i'm going to live too. if i die, you die too. -the two ran away together? what are you going to do if the two talk about the digital camera? ! didn't you say that uncle man seok's girlfriend had the digital camera? that's right. -yeong ja. give it to me. i'll go throw it away for you. what does jang tae san have to do with your investigation? throw away your feelings towards jang tae san, since he might have been framed. -i said it's not me! that's all fabricated! framed? it was done by the finest expert. he took care of it so that no one can find it. -this woman jo seo hee as she watches the blackbox file, she must have her heart completely at ease. i heard you're helping jang tae san escape. what are you doing right now? then, how are you going to explain this? -episode 9 prosecutor park, offer your greetings. is this person ... prosecutorparkjae gyeong? yes, congresswoman jo seo hee. -what brings you all the way here? have a seat. congresswoman jo ... said she has something to ask you about the escapee case. are you perhaps involved in jang tae san's escape? -what is she up to? the fact that i'm the prosecutor in charge of the case of jang tae san's escape, you already know. i heard you're helping jang tae san escape. now, what... what did you just say? -i heard that you're secretly in contact with jang tae san. is it not true? what is this? what are you doing right now? ! -then ... how are you going to explain this? she fabricated the picture? congresswoman jo, where did you get this from? someone sent it anonymously just a while ago. -prosecutor park, how did this happen? why is she doing something like this? this is fabricated. at that time, my mouth was taped shut. i had been kidnapped by moon il seok and almost killed. -i escaped only after jang tae san saved me. killed? but why did you not say anything? why did you not arrest him? because i wanted to get this woman at the same time! -are you in your right mind? do you know who this is? she's congresswoman jo seo hee. you came knowing that i won't be able to say anything, right? prosecutor park, why are you not saying anything? -because i'm at a loss for words. i have no excuse to offer. congresswoman, if you receive a video sent by someone you don't even know, do you believe it immediately? you should confirm the source first. can't you see this is fabricated? -there seem to be weird tracks. of course, it's possible that it's not real, but, no matter who looks at it, doesn't this person look like you, prosecutor park jae gyeong? if it looks like, is it me? do you have evidence that it's not you? what are you're going to do if i reveal it's a fabrication that you're driving at me like this? -then, it'll be enough if you provide an alibi as to who you were with and what you were doing. i was kidnapped by moon il seok, wasn't i? you and moon il seok were trying to kill me! prosecutor park, were you really with jang tae san? if you're also suspicious of her like that, -prosecutor park will feel too offended. excuse me? i didn't bring it here because i really thought this was prosecutor park. i brought it because it will get too noisy if it becomes known to the media. a special announcement will be made this evening, but i made some time to come here. -the media? what does that... do you think the person who sent this sent it to me only? if there is a smoke rising up on a far away mountain, everyone believes that there is a fire. would they go as far as to confirm it? -congresswoman jo! then, i hope you act wisely. if the original copy of the cctv is revealed, moon il seok will have manufactured an alibi by then. and since you weren't there, -it will look like i was abducted by jang tae san. oh, reporter kim! it's been a while! yes. what? -who? is that true? detective im, they say that prosecutor park is on the same side with jang tae san. a cctv recording that has the two of them together was nabbed! cctv? -what cctv...? where? who saw it? you know congresswoman jo seo hee, right? they say she brought it in. -jo seo hee? looks like prosecutor park will be fired! yes. i got it. i'm hanging up. -i'll be back in a little bit, squad chief. hey. detective im! detective im, where are you going? why is he like that? -squad chief, why is detective im like that? yes, this is the special investigation force. who? jang tae san. just a moment ago, i saw jang tae san. -he was wearing dark grey pants and a black top. and he was hiding the fact his top was torn with a backpack. he was blood-stained and was wearing mismatched shoes, but one shoe was a hiking boot and the other was a slipper. he said he went into a sauna house right in front of him and his shoes were mismatched also. the passengers from the passenger ship said that he only had one shoe on. -that hong gil dong. after creating an illusion, he appears in the east suddenly. then, the west suddenly. he seems to know that we came back in several days after getting sleep, jang tae san, this bastard. move! -move now! what about sunbae im? he just went out. leave him be. this is a ridiculous fabrication, prosecutor general. -they were attacked while escorting jang tae san who was caught trying to stow away. even the detectives all know that. whether that's the case or not, suspend prosecutor park jae gyeong department chief han, investigate the facts into this. prosecutor general. -investigation? if you erase the traces of this that have been fabricated... i fell into the trap. until the investigation ends, take your hands off the jang tae san case. how many prosecutors run around at the scene that you set out and cause trouble! -what are you going to do about this? prosecutor general, a detective named im seung woo asks to see you urgently. who is that? ah! the son of the police commissioner. -tell him to come in. leave. i'm sorry. i came in to meet prosecutor park but heard an absurd rumor, so i very rudely came to find you at that time, prosecutor park was together with me, chasing jang tae san. -she was with you? yes. (crackles) ever wonder what it would be like to live in a... well, wonder no more. -here at zombie survivor, you and your family learn what it would be like to fight for your life against soulless monsters hell-bent on your destruction. it's great for office parties, too. and for the little ones, we've got zombie survivor, jr. brains and a juice box! book now, and we'll infect a member of your party with the same killer virus that has devastated humanity. -oh, no! bob from accounting's got it! kill him! here they come! book your adventure now! -a woman is dead and it's down to you. i'm not allowed to treat patients? it's only dr evans who is complaining. not her partners. i like frankie, i like ian. -they're made for each other. if you've broken them up... this is matthew seren everyone, our new administrator, co-ordinator, and receptionist. i don't think he needs any encouragement. no-one wants this to go to the nursing and midwifery council unless it has to. -i am sorry your boyfriend is attracted to me but... you'd better leave now. ok, you're making a mess of everything. no case to answer! kicked out of court! -you're back on the treadmill, missus! radio: "wake up boo!" by the boo radleys. never fear. nurse frankie is here! you're not ill? -no, i'm on top of the world, me. but what about that stuff that you found at the back of the cupboard? evil, evil stuff. yeah, the orange, fermented liqueur? yeah, yeah, i brought that back from greece... -poisoned by holiday schnapps. fancy a fry up? that's it. you'll feel much better after a trip to chuggington. i was nearly sick in the taxi going home. -i'm surrounded by lightweights. orange juice and lemonade. sugar to stop the shakes and fizz to settle the stomach. i swear by eggs. he needs carbohydrates. -ok, eggs and super noodles. and peppermint tea. where's karen? what you looking at me for? i'll call her. -the community midwife just called. rachel ellis, six weeks pregnant, got taken into hospital last night. her ovarian hyperstimulation symptoms got worse. that's not good. is that your ivf case? -yeah, i was hoping to treat her symptoms at home. she's got a six week scan on friday and could do without the stress. karen's car has broken down and she's on the bus. hey, karen, where are you? ok, get off on church road and visit clive harvey. 67. -chronic renal failure, possible leg ulcer. it's a five minute walk from the bus stop. bye-bye, thank you. bye-bye. how are you going to manage without your car? -i'll be fine. hey, ravey rach! i hope you're not listening to anything too raucous. nothing with a repetitive beat. whale music. -meant to be calming. is it working? i feel like a bloody whale. it's just fluid retention. keep up the peeing. -the nurses get very excited whenever i do. they take it away and measure it. well, we've got to get our thrills somehow. the good news is your symptoms are easing and your swollen tummy is coming down. final round of ivf so they put me on a ward full of newborn babies. -i just want to go home. let's break you out of here. if only. already arranged. just had a chat with your consultant. -said we need you in tiptop condition for that scan on friday, so swing them legs out, girl. oh, lovely! whoisit ? mr harvey? i'm karen, a community nurse. -your gp's asked me to visit. what do you want? just to see if you're ok. it would be good if you could open the door. i've had enough of you busybodies. -mr harvey... bugger off. i'll come back later. hi. hello, gorgeous. -how are you? working. i'd love to see you in your uniform again.

yeah, yeah, we did. they said i was pregnant both times before and there was no heartbeat at the six week scan. there's no connection between that and partying. -really? how do you know? believe me, i've seen women do worse to their bodies than you and it hasn't made a bit of difference to whether they carry a baby or not. so, you mustn't beat yourself up. ok? -what about...? it's just fluid build up. a side effect of the ivf. ohss is no risk to your pregnancy, i promise you. i've been trying to do all the right things, haven't i? -yeah. no wine, no sugar. nothing fun at all for ages. she lives entirely on organic vegetables. i'm so boring. -oh, come on. i didn't say that. hey, at least you've got a very clean kitchen, which is more than i can say. i've, erm, i've just done a bit of cleaning downstairs, that's all. why? -i thought it might help. how? i want you to make sure you come straight home from school today. a cup of tea might be nice! no excuses this time. -i've only walked about 25 miles this morning. you are not staying out until all hours again. don't put yourselves out. will your car be fixed by tomorrow?

yeah, i'm disabled. yeah, does that mean you're allowed in the bus lane? -well, it bloody well should do! so what's up with this car, anyway? it's the engine. which bit of the engine? the bit that makes it go. -is it the crankshaft, is it the bearings, the gasket, the spark plugs, loss of suction? the last one. that is vacuum cleaners. what is this? a test? -i'm just trying to help. you can drop me here. what? i'll walk the last bit. but we're miles away. -are you all right? fine. a delicious combination of milk chocolate and caramel on an oaty biscuit base. i can't eat them all on my own. you're not coming in. -i need you to do me a little wee in this. i'm not doing that. pass it back to me and i'll test it on the doorstep. i know she's been worrying since your dad died but she's just trying to keep you safe. your mum's really not well. -you know? her lungs are very weak so you've got to try and not to stress her out when you're at home. it's not my fault. she doesn't trust anyone. she doesn't trust me. -so tell us about this boyfriend then? i want to move in with him. i know, but that's a big step. come and meet him. he's lovely. -all right then, you lead the way. mr harvey? thank you! you've got protein in your wee. i really need to come in and see you. -no. why don't you just come out here for five minutes? and then will you get out of my property? i absolutely will. hi, jake. -hey. hey, bea. hey, how's it going? all right. are you ok? -yeah, i'm fine. nice to see you. yeah, you too. this is andy. he used to look after my dad when he was dying. -how's it going? nice to meet you, jake. so how long have you two been together? since valentine's day. i gave her the biggest card in the shop. -nice work. i'm worth it! what would you like to do this evening? shall we go to the cinema? yeah, i think we can do that. -go and see a comedy or something. bea, i'm just going to go and have a wee word with carly. see you later. nice meeting you, jake. see ya. -the problem is that the urine is keeping it infected. you just want to wrap me up in nappies do you? no, i want to help you. i think you have a bladder infection and that's probably adding to your incontinence. you need antibiotics to sort this out but because of your kidney problems we have to administer them very carefully. -what's the point? i'm falling to bits anyway. do you know what you are? a miserable old bugger. apart from that. -what? you're the stuff every district nurse's dreams are made of. you're a complete project. am i? we fight over patients like you. -a project, eh? i like a project. do you? why's that? because i was an engineer. -what did that involve? making things. aeroplanes mostly. you can make aeroplanes? i can make anything out of anything. -when i come back will you let me in? i haven't had a woman in the house since 1977. what happened to her? she's buried under the floorboards. i'll take my chances! -jake lives in sheltered accommodation. there's a room free for beatrice. has this been discussed with her mother? yes, of course, but she won't talk to any of us. how hard have you tried? -andy, she's a different generation. come on carly, isn't that a wee bit patronising? i'm not the one being patronising! what about what beatrice wants? are we just going to ignore that because she's got down's syndrome? -listen, there's no reason why she can't lead a very independent life, given the right support. so, how are things with ian? i'm over him. right. what's that mean? -all i said was "right". well, maybe i'm not. one minute i am over him and next minute i'm not over him and then... i can see why you drink. i know! -all this thinking about it is doing my bloody head in. how are you? i met this great couple today. love's young dream. what's their secret? -no idea. they do buy giant valentine's cards. you see, that's where i've been going wrong all these years! but the mother and daughter are at loggerheads and i just really don't want to get involved. more emotional women and their problems? -exactly. you see, my life is very tough. women are just drawn to confide in me. you see, that's your fault, you remind us of our dads! what are you going to do? -i'm just going to be very clear. you know, medical problems? fine. happy to help. family arguments? -not my remit. i'm glad we've cleared that up. now i can drink you under the table again. you did not drink me under the table. did. -not. i did. shut it. i'm so cool! karen! -what do you want? thought you might like a lift in. are you all right? it's really hard at the moment with my parents away. it's a massive house and i'm all alone in it. -must be awful. and i haven't really made any friends at work. well, sleeping with the boss's boyfriend will do that. you don't understand how hard my life is, karen. what the hell have you got to moan about? -i'm sorry. it's just, i've got money problems... i'm pregnant. what? i just found out. -ian's? it'll be all right. it happened to me once when i wasn't being careful. everything will be all right. i'm not getting a termination. -what are you going to do then? me and ian are going to have the baby. is that what he said? well, he doesn't know yet. i'm going to see him today. -don't do it to yourself. you were a one-night stand. you're going to mess up your whole life. do you want a lift or not? if you're not coping financially i can lend you some money. -i don't want your money. any nausea or vomiting? i just keep crying. ohss is horrible. your hormones are in overdrive. -the scan's tomorrow. if i'm not going to be a mother, then what am i going to be? you're still going to be you. ha! i've done everything i can to have a baby. -moved area, lost all my old friends. you know, i'm not ravey rach any more... i don't know who i am now. it will be devastating if it doesn't work out, i know, but you and toby, you'll still have each other. but i have to have this child. -he's a good bloke. plus, he loves you. bonus! yeah, rach? ohss is a good sign though isn't it? -it means i'm still pregnant. it doesn't necessarily mean that. i think this baby is growing. yeah, i really do. right, come on, cup of tea. -kettle's on! how are you doing? yeah. stressful time. where are your tea bags? -i don't know what scares me most any more - what life will be like if we fail again or what it will be like if we don't. spike island. 1990. stone roses gig. those were good times well, there's good times still to come. -not the same, but still good. you reckon?

hi, bea, it's andy. where are you, darling? i don't know. i don't know. -i don't know. don't be scared, bea. can you see any street names? no. i want my mum. -yeah, and i'm going to take you to her. so i want you to look around. what can you see? boats. water. -great. anything else? there's a big bridge and railings. right. i know where you are so don't move. -jake and i are coming to get you, ok? i'm looking to refer clive harvey to social services. living conditions indicate senile squalor syndrome and he's generally not coping. thanks. we've a problem. -karen's car's been repossessed. i told you that in confidence. well, she needs to know. yeah, i do. what's going on, ka? -i got behind on my repayments. ridiculous. excuse me? i've run a whole family on my salary. you need to learn to budget. -i'm sorry. i got lost, mum. don't worry, love, you're safe now. are you all right, jake? bea's not talking to me. -i let her down. the thing is, women, right, they need to feel loved. i just wanted to watch the footie. i just needed a break. i know. -i just don't understand them. have you got any condoms? not on me, no. i keep running out. i'll be back in a minute. -ok. can i have a word? yeah, sure. it was lucky i found her. oh, come on, she had a panic attack, that's all. -if she gets away from her mother her confidence will increase. where were you? i have a lot of clients. i was busy. just because you want them to be capable of living independently doesn't mean they are. -andy, i know what i'm doing. i wasn't going to get involved in this but... i think i need to. and why's that? because i'm the only person working with this family that actually seems to know them. -i'm going to arrange a professionals' meeting. fine. and by the way, jake's run out of johnnies. bath and a beer for me. manana, ladies. -how bad? what? your finances. i've messed up. i can ask emma for some extra hours. -thanks. you going home? i promised i'd call in on mr harvey first. you're a good nurse, karen. don't blow it. -what do you want? i tried to get her to understand that there was more to our life than just wanting a baby. but she doesn't want to know. there seems a lot more to your life. please, don't say anything to her. -it was just a fling. i didn't plan it. she really needs you with her. i can't do it. i can't sit in that room again while they look for a baby that isn't there. -i'm just not strong enough. i told her that if there was no baby then at least she had you. i told her you were a good man. i am a good man. good night, toby. -just making sure you eat properly. chips? and a battered sausage. you got a problem with that? what do you think? -£16, please. how much? it's, er, rush-hour traffic, love. look, that's all i've got left. you said you were going to tidy up. -i can't be expected to work my fingers to the bone. all you had to do was clear one room. one bit! i work bloody hard. i turn up day in and day out to look after people like you. -i bring you biscuits, i wash you and you can't even be bothered to clear a chair so i can sit down. i've had my car taken off me because i'm broke. and i've spent the last of my money on a taxi trying to get out here. what for? you don't even want to get better. -i need to check your dressing. sit down. he's having an affair and not only that, he's not going to turn up for this scan tomorrow. yes, definitely a bad man. well, i'm going to have to tell her. -never mind what happens with the pregnancy. really? what if there's no heartbeat? he's cheating on her. so at what point are you going to break this news? -i mean, how many minutes afterwards exactly? are you going to wait for her to stop sobbing about never becoming a mother first...? oh, it could be tricky. you going to get that? otherwise engaged. -'it's me. 'i really need to talk to you, frankie. 'please? call me back, any time.' hello, is that lakeisha's mother? -hi, this is hope's mum. yeah, i got a text saying that she was having a sleepover at yours? could i talk to her, please? well, could you get her to call me as soon as she gets in, please? thanks. -no, no, no, it doesn't matter how late it is. it's my mum. hope, who's that? it was nobody. see you in a bit. -you not coming in? i've just got to go and meet someone. are you all right? please could you lend me some money, to get a cheap second-hand car? this has to be brief. -we need to sort things out. yeah, yeah. what would you rather have, a girl or a boy? this changes everything between us. no, no, it doesn't. -you can't make me get rid of it. i know. i never said that. but if it was frankie's baby you'd want it, wouldn't you? i thought i was going to die. -oh, you're not going anywhere yet. i'm going to go before she does, though, aren't i? yes, you probably are. what am i going to do? what do you want for her? -do you want her to be alone when you're gone? hey. let's get a cuppa. come on. we've got lots of time. -what do you fancy? hot chocolate? frappo-appo-ccino? maybe we'll get lucky and the machine will do rum and coke. so, high-functioning young woman with down's syndrome wishes to live in sheltered housing with her boyfriend. -mother's diagnosis means that she's no longer able to care for her. it's an open-and-shut case surely? i agree. so, what's the issue? i've known the family for a number of years and the situation is just much more complicated than that. -mr harvey, i'm really, really sorry about yesterday. i don't know what happened. i've never spoken to a patient like that before. i'm really sorry. -call me clive. so you can sit. it's a work in progress. i should shout at men more often. i made you a present. -you made that? hmm, to apologise. it's beautiful. we've always done everything together. you look really happy there. -yeah. i'd like to be happy again. rachel ellis? i feel sick. not on this uniform. -it's the only clean one i've got. you've blindly taken the mother's side. this isn't about taking sides. we need to think about the future for both of them. i'm not compromising on my client's human rights. -you need to get off your high horse and start working with me on this. i entirely agree. you do? well, don't look so surprised. i do occasionally agree with my colleagues. -ok, what do you suggest then? right. beatrice stays at jake's two days of the week and we see how it goes. in the meantime, we get cheryl help at home so she feels fully involved in her daughter's care because if you take beatrice away her health will definitely decline. why will it? -she can spend more time on herself, she could develop a hobby. because she lives for her daughter. that sounds like a good compromise. everyone agreed? carly? -yeah. thanks, carly. oh, well done! oh! oh! -go on! hey, ian. what you doing later? do you like him? is he going to look after you? -of course he will. all right, take him a piece of cake. there you are. don't eat too much. i won't. -she doesn't half boss him around. i cannae imagine who she gets that from(! ) cheeky! me and carly are going to make it work for you both. -she was my beautiful little fat baby. they said she'd never grow up. i didn't tell her. of course you didn't. you never would have. -hey, fancy going out tonight? got other plans, sorry. oh, well, your loss. you'd have probably cramped my style anyway. style? -! sorry, didn't know you had any. hey! night. night. -what is it? i'm pregnant. what? ian doesn't want it. ian? -it was an accident. was it? i promise. i only slept with him twice. you are a selfish, silly cow. -i'm sorry, i didn't... it's going to be ok. it's going to be all right. what are you doing? you invited me around. -i've just spent the last hour being cried on by your 22-year-old pregnant girlfriend. strange you didn't mention that. please... it's over. you have completely blown this. -and there is no coming back. he's in here every day, looking for you, and at the same time someone is sending you these videos and texts. if you're that concerned, you can stay the night. there is something i need to tell you. if you want my advice don't sound so keen when he calls. -shane, i'm not racing you. how i treat my ms is my choice. but you're not treating it. shouting at patients, breaking confidentiality, and managing to walk away from the wreckage, looking like a hero. we can fix this, together. -well, i'm not giving up on you yet. i'll see you next week? as long as your boyfriend doesn't mind. previously on teen wolf... everyone around me gets hurt. -mountain ash is some of what you'll use to create the barrier. the only way to protect one person is to kill another. a certain level of electric current -can keep me from transforming. aah! derek killed one of ours. either he joins our pack, or kali goes after him, and we kill him. -okay, keep pressure on it. the doctor's on her way. and does anyone know where dr. hilyard is? oh, thank god. -i'm starving. oh, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. thank you for bringing me dinner. is everything okay? -except for half the accident victims in a ten car pile-up being rerouted here from downtown, and the e.r. attending not answering any of his pages, yeah, i'm okay. what does not answering pages mean? -it means that nobody can find him, so now we have to wait for the on call to get here. miss. yes? excuse me, can i kind of please -have something for the pain? okay, i'm sorry. i know. but, actually, giving you something could complicate things, -so we really just need to wait for the doctors. okay? yeah. okay. how much longer on dr. -hilyard? ten minutes. uh, you know, i think that i read online that sometimes human contact can help with pain. someone... -someone help me! oh, i need help! it's dr. hilyard again. can you let melissa know -that it may be more than ten minutes? i think there's an accident up ahead. yeah, a ten car pile-up, which is why we need you here. i'm going as fast as i can. okay, gentle, gentle, gentle! -what did you do to him? nothing. he said he was having chest pains and trouble breathing, but it--it just kept getting worse. this is not good. -how much longer on dr. hilyard? his larynx has shifted to the side. i think it's a tension pneumothorax. mistletoe. -will you two please go back to the waiting room? where are the nurses and the doctors? where is everyone? it's a full house tonight. they're tending to other patients. -okay, well, mom, how can we help? honey, you can't. his lung is collapsed. his heart is being pushed against his chest cavity, so... he's gonna die, isn't he? -no. no, he's not. scott, you grab the tape. you grab those scissors and cut his shirt open. okay. -mom, he's not breathing. i know, i know. okay. how did you get in? okay, here we go. -thank you. no problem. what? that was awesome. it was no problem, you know? -i mean, it wasn't a big deal. i know you're not gonna believe me, but i didn't do anything. all i know is that the minute that you got here, you went right for danny, and your brother went for lydia. -we're not gonna hurt him. why should i believe you? because we knew one of them was gonna be important to you, and now we know it's lydia. what is it? -so what are you saying? hang on, hang on. they were both in the car? no, dad, they're trying to tell you that it was two separate kidnappings, okay? -two doctors, both gone. so whose car is this? dr. hilyard, the on-call doctor. the e.r. attending is the one that never made it in. let me just focus on getting your story first, all right? -yeah. boys, give us a second. these are definitely sacrifices, right? yeah, it's one deaton healers. what about danny? -he threw up mistletoe. that's not a coincidence, and if he hadn't been with ethan, he probably would've died. danny's not a healer. -i... can you hear that? they found a body. what does it mean? it means they're coming... -tonight. really, boys? boys! what do you think you're doing? uh, we were watching over you. -we wanted to make sure you weren't the third sacrifice. but both of you were asleep. you were on watch last. what are you talking about? you were on watch last. -no, you were on watch last. i might've been on watch last. my heroes. wait, didn't you say that they were all doctors? i mean, i haven't had an m.d. -recently attached to the end of my name, so i think i'm in the clear. yeah, but it could just come under any kind of healer, mom, and you were definitely a healer last night. -yeah, well, i'm not gonna be anyone's human sacrifice today, so both of you get your butts to school. good morning. as you all know, mr. -harris is still missing-- i mean, sick. anyway, i'm filling in while we all hope and pray for a more qualified substitute to take my place. okay, so let's get started, shall we? -hey, my dad said that the e.r. attending wasn't strangled but did die from asphyxiation. they just don't know how. do you think the on-call doctor could still be alive? i don't know... -but, scott, there's got to be at least 20 other doctors in that hospital-- at least, you know? any one of them could be next. hey, doc. -sorry, i'm in class right now. can i call you back later? unfortunately, no. i honestly thought i might never have to burden you like this, -but i'm afraid, at the moment, you're my only hope. i'm going to be taken. i need you to find me. doc, doc, doc, doc? -what's happening? go back to school. well, actually, we can't. boyd and i are incredibly and unbelievably sick. with what, brain damage? -well, i have a migraine, and, uh, boyd here has explosive diarrhea. we're here to protect you. you're here to protect me? well, i'm in trouble them. -actually, boyd here came up with a plan. yeah, i thought about the time gerard had me and erica locked up, tied up with electrical wires pushing current through us. i was wondering how we could do something like that... -but on a bigger scale. how did you know? stiles called me as soon as you left school. i'm sorry. your boss's car is still here, -and the back door was wide open. scott... i need you to tell me everything. in a pool of electrified water, it can take up to 50 milliamps to kill a normal human, -less than the power it takes to turn on a light bulb. that's comforting. if we disable the circuit interrupter in the building's electrical room, the current will keep coming, -and anyone who steps foot in here, they'll get a pretty shocking surprise. especially someone who's barefoot. all right, we're gonna do everything we can. -right now, the best thing you can do is go back to school. we have to tell him. you mean, like, tell him, tell him, or tell him something else that isn't telling him -what i think you want to tell him? you know what i mean. you remember how your mom reacted? she didn't look you in the eye for, like, a week. and she got over it, -and--and it actually made us closer. i don't know, dude. i mean, look at him. come on, he's completely overwhelmed as it is. he's overwhelmed because he has no clue what's happening. -he's got people dying in his town, the town that he's supposed to protect, and it's not his fault that he doesn't know what's happening. he's gonna find out sooner or later. -yeah, but is now really the right time? what if not telling him now gets someone else killed? what if telling him gets him killed, huh? i mean, okay, look, i get that deaton's been like a father to you. -i get that, okay? but this is m--scott, this is my actual father. i can't... i can't lose both of my parents, all right? not both of them. -you're right. no, i'm not. i'm not right. i'll tell him. i'll help you. -please, whatever you need, however you can help find my brother. will you excuse us for a moment? okay, listen closely, both of you. no sheriff, deputy, or detective -is going to be able to find him. you don't have to ask us for help. actually, i'm trying to help you, because, if you're going to find my brother, then you need to use the one person -who might actually have an ability to seek out the supernatural. lydia. aw, man. where you going? -it's a fire alarm. when in high school has a fire alarm actually been a real fire? that's exactly the kind of thing you'd expect two dumbass students to say -just before getting burned alive. you first. go. you don't have very good taste in guys, do you? hey. -it's dr. hilyard, isn't it? yeah. oh, god. okay. -did she have ligature marks around her throat? no. how do you know about that? i need you to take a look at the other body with me. i think i know how they both died, -and i think it's gonna help you find scott's boss. is there a problem? yeah, derek would like to kindly ask you to stop seeing aiden, which means that if i catch you with him again, -i'm not going to pull the fire alarm. i'm going to pull your tongue out of your head. sweetheart, my last boyfriend was a homicidal lizard, so i think i can handle a werewolf. let go. -i said-- - let go. i said, let go. a ouija board? also called a spirit board, and it's worth a shot. a shot in the dark. -could you just try it, please, okay? let's not forget who this is for-- scott's boss, the guy who has saved our collective asses on more than one occasion. -oh, wait, should we all do this? yeah, yeah. you guys ready? yeah. yes. -where's dr. deaton? what? aren't you gonna answer it? oh, i don't know the answer. -i thought we were asking some sort of spirit. well, do you know any spirits? is she for real? do you know what a metronome is, scott? it's a tool to help you maintain a steady rhythm -once you've set the tempo. something tells me the tempo of your life has sped up considerably in the last few hours. if you'd like, i could help slow it down to a more manageable pace. -how? by helping you find deaton. okay, these are deaton's keys for the clinic. close you're eyes, and i'm gonna put 'em in your hand, and then we're just gonna try and see -if you can feel out for his location. it's called psychometry. i'm not a psychic. you're something! okay? -just, lydia, put out your hand, and... hmm. what? they're cold. lydia, concentrate, please? -trying to save lives here, for the love of god. yeah, what is it? what do you see? nothing. your heart's pounding, but it's not fear. -it's anger. i bet i know what you're thinking. does he have something to do with deaton's disappearance? tell you what. if you can take the cane away from me, -i'll tell you exactly where he is. now, what do you think? impressive, but you know i'm not the one slashing up innocent people, praying to ancient gods or gathering herbs, -or whatever the hell druids are supposed to do. i am part of a pack that wants derek dead, though. kali is coming for him, so there's a difficult choice you're about to face, because someone is going to die tonight, -and whether that's derek or deaton, that's up to you. just tell me where he is. i'll give you a very important clue. let the current guide you. -automatic writing? lydia, what are you doing? what--what the hell is that? a tree. a tr-- -lydia, you're supposed to be writing words, like in sentences, something like a location, something that would tell us where he is. well, maybe you should've said that. isn't she supposed to be some kind of genius? -genius? yes. psychic, no. honestly, i don't know why you're even bothering with me anyway. -i mean, especially since it's obvious you should be talking to danny. what? why danny? because... -last night, he was a target. but it wasn't a sacrifice. the problem with no ligature marks around the neck is that both doctors were still asphyxiated, so the question is... -how did they suffocate if they weren't strangled? right. now, take a look at the wrist marks. what do they tell you? his hands were tied. -not just tied. look how deep they go. i don't think that's just from struggling to get out. i think he was suspended. hanging like that, that means -they would have to keep lifting their bodies up in order to breathe. eventually, they would lose strength and they wouldn't be able to lift themselves up. it's how people used to die from crucifixion. -so you think deaton is somewhere right now, hanging by his wrists? yeah. and when he no longer has the strength to pull himself up to catch a breathe, -how long before he dies? minutes. but isn't danny still in the hospital? yeah. that's where we're going right now. -i'll meet you there. why? is this gonna kill him? i hope so. so i was looking through one of his drawers, -and i found this. he wasn't supposed to be back yet. what do i do? where do i go? what are you doing? -nothing. part of you is doing something. oh, sorry. stop. i kind of don't have control over that. -okay, well, i'll turn around. yeah, totally. allison. what? that's worse. -shh. see this map? last time we were in here talking, my dad put a book over it. there was something about way he did it. -it was like--it was like he was trying to cover it. i don't see anything. yeah, you can't until you use this. he's been tracking and marking everything. cora and boyd at the bank, -the office in the penthouse above us, all of the dead bodies. he has a symbol for where someone was taken, and then a different mark for where the bodies are found, see? -now here's the scary part. there have been six sacrifices, right? there are 12 markings on the map. what? what does that mean? -did your dad find other bodies and not tell anyone? i don't think so. i think he knows where the body is going to be found, so one of these six locations, one of these, -is where deaton could end up. i mean, it doesn't tell us where he's being kept right now, but-- but it's close to figuring it out. yeah. -hey. i, uh, i didn't hear you come in. yeah, i was just doing some homework. danny, you awake? danny? -wow. what are you doing? i'm not doing anything, danny. this is just a dream that you're having. why are you going through my stuff? -right, but only in the dream, remember? dream. dreaming. why would i dream about you going through my stuff? i don't know that, danny, okay? -it's your dream. take responsibility for it. shut up and go back to sleep. danny boy, you might've actually found something here. deaton's got to be at one of the six locations, -but they're all over town. i don't know how we can get to all of them fast enough. well, we might not have to. danny was doing a project on something for mr. -harris's physics class, and i think it actually means something. what project? something on telluric currents. did you say currents? -yeah. isn't the light on that supposed to be on? yeah. what does it mean if it's not? someone cut the auxiliary power. -what about the main-- derek... what do we do now? we fight. gonna be honest, derek. -when ennis died, i thought to myself i'd just go for it. find you and kill you, wherever you stood. then i remembered how you surround yourself -with these teenagers, hiding behind them, and i thought, "what's a girl got to do to get you alone?" you and me derek, or they tear her apart. what do you say? -you think you can beat me one on one? i'm gonna rip your throat out with my teeth. okay, so, what does this kid's homework have to do with finding deaton? because it's not just homework, okay? -it's a project on geomagnetic fields. they flow through the earth. they can even be affected by lunar phases, all right? now, look at this. this is a note from harris on danny's proposal. -"i strongly advise you to choose another subject. "the ideas here, while innovative and thoughtful, "border on pseudo-science. not suitable for class." harris wasn't just a sacrifice. -he knew something. now, check this out. allison's dad wasn't the only one with a map, all right? danny had one too. danny marked all the telluric currents, okay? -now, the weird thing about beacon hills is that it actually is a beacon. you wouldn't believe how much energy flowing through the earth is around this town. -stiles, look, they match. all right, there's three places, right? where they're kidnapped, and then the place where their body was found. look, that's right on the telluric current. -so, maybe where he was sacrificed is somewhere in between. let me see that. you said there's six more bodies to be found. deaton's one of them. -got to be somewhere in between, right? stop. he's in the vault. he's in the same vault. guys, hold on. -lydia, we don't have time. it's boyd. the plan didn't work. they cut the power. it's just like he said. -go. i can save deaton myself. what? scott, what about us? cora can't get there fast enough without you. -go. we can save both of them. all right, let's go. uhh! derek! -no! wait! scott! let me give it a shot. okay, what do we do? -pull all of them. take him! i'm giving you till the next full moon, derek. make the smart choice. join the pack... -or next time i'm killing all of you. it's okay. no, no. no, it's not. it's not. -it's all okay, derek. i'm--i'm sorry. the full moon. that feeling... that was worth it. -there's a lunar eclipse. i always wondered what... what that felt like for one of us. for one of us... boyd, what do you think will happen to us -on the lunar eclipse? they last for hours, you know, because it's just the earth's shadow. i wonder what will happen to us. maybe it'll make us stronger. -i hope it'll make us stronger. boyd. if you know something about him and you're reluctant to tell me, try remembering it's a long list of favors and penance -before you're redeemed in my eyes. you're gonna tell me the story, and you're gonna tell me the truth. surprised to see me? only surprised that its taken you this long. -how'd you find us? the vials in the clinic with the celtic symbols on 'em? i knew that one of 'em looked familiar. sheriff, thank you for being one hell of a detective. -you bet. let's get you an ambulance. your eyes were red. bright red. how is that possible? -paramedics are on their way. i'll be back in half a minute. it's rare. it's something that doesn't happen within 100 years, but every once in a while -a beta can become an alpha without having to steal or take that power. they call it a true alpha. it's one who rises purely on the strength of the character, by virtue, by sheer force of will. -you knew this would happen. i believed. from the moment i knew you were bitten, i believed. you're not the only one. no. -deucalion isn't after derek. he's after you. previously on "once upon a time"... where's rumplestiltskin gone? do you really think you can just stab him in the heart with your sword? -i prefer my hook, but i can't find that now. with the dark one gone, we can search for his dagger. (emma) here's your boy. (siren wailing in distance) neal? -emma? get out of my apartment! neal. emma, i got this. you two know each other. -how? mom, what's going on? is this my son? a young boy will lead you to him. (whispers) the boy will be your undoing. -then i'll just have to kill him. (indistinct conversations) (woman) let's be certain she's seated as far away from the duke as possible, for the duchess' sake. yes, ma'am. do you like it? -oh, my dear snow. you are an absolute vision. you are gonna be the talk of the ball, and not just because it's for your birthday. (both laugh) come. -i can hardly believe you're growing up so fast. (gasps) which reminds me. i have a gift for you. it was my mother's once and her mother's before that, and soon it will be yours. -(woman) johanna. (gasps) oh! oh, your majesty. oh, please forgive me. i just wanted to see... -how dare you? that's mine. it's not for a servant. it was my mistake. servants don't wear crowns. -enough. i'm sorry, your majesty... no, i was talking to snow. me? i thought i raised you better than that, snow. -it doesn't matter whether one is a servant or royalty. everyone in the kingdom deserves our love and respect. but she took my tiara... she apologized. and it isn't yours yet. -your majesty, it's all right. you're kind, johanna, but snow must learn. my dear, we are all the same. but i thought we were royals. we are, but that doesn't make us better than anyone else. -the upcoming ball, for instance... can you tell me what it's for? it's to honor me on my birthday. no. it's for you to honor them by showing them you will be a kind and benevolent leader when that time comes. please. -when you are crowned with this on your birthday, it will be a symbol that you will always hold goodness in your heart and rule justly. now do you understand? i do, mother. it's beautiful. (chuckles) (chuckles) -and it's heavier than it looks. (gasps) your majesty! (gasps) mother! -i'm fine. no, no. you are not. come. there. -i'm getting the doctor. mother. (breathing heavily) (whispers) i'm fine, dear. what are you doing? -i'm making breakfast. why? i'm hungry. you think i don't know what you're doing. we talked about this. -we had a deal. (dishes clatter) i know. i know. but with the curse broken, i thought maybe you would change your mind. -well, i didn't. what's this? birthday present. no, i told you... it's not from me. no one else knows. -apparently someone does, no one else knows. apparently someone does, and they also think you should celebrate. it was left outside the door this morning. what is it? i thought that was lost when the curse hit. -(sniffles) i thought that was lost when the curse hit. (sniffles) (voice breaks) so did i. (sniffles) (exhales) -johanna. i didn't know she was in storybrooke. johanna. i didn't know she was in storybrooke. neither did i. -after the curse, you were gone for a while. you know, we're all still finding each other. it hasn't been easy. i have to go. (sniffles) -okay. hey. happy birthday. thank you for understanding. you should go. -it's getting late. you have to go to work. i know. i just... i just wish this day made you happier. -i know, but we both know it can't. (door closes) (sighs) (switch clicks) (clatter) -(crowbar clanks) (keys jangle) apologies, mate, but i think you have something of mine. (clink) (click) -(thud) (clank and click) once upon a time s02e37 "the queen is dead" johanna? (whispers) snow. -it's "mary margaret" here. no. you will always be my dear snow. oh! (laughs) -i never thought i'd see you again. or this. oh. i came across it in mr. gold's shop, and i knew how much it meant to you. i knew you had to have it. -mm. (whispers) thank you. oh. i haven't seen those flowers in a long time. they reminded me of you, because they could survive the harshest winter, and you were born during the harshest one of all. -that's why she named me "snow." i thought keeping this garden would be a nice way to honor her. it is. (voice breaks) i miss her, too. (sniffles) -(whispers) oh, you. (rustle, wings flapping) what was that? stay here. i'm sure it was nothing. -snow... no, no, please. please, just stay here. i'll be right back. (dirt sifting) -(shovel thuds) (paper rustling) and you're sure this is where we're supposed to dig? (sighs) yes. hook marked it clearly. -rumplestiltskin's dagger is here. unless hook lied to us. (sighs) well, then this map is useless. gold is the only one who can translate it. oh, don't worry, sweetheart. -hook could've saved us a lot of effort with honesty, but the truth is, we don't need anyone. i can reconstruct the map. it'll just take a bit more time. and when we find it, i promise you, i'll use that dagger to force the dark one to kill anyone you like. -(footsteps approach) david? david! david? ! david! -oh! david? (inhales deeply) what happened? (groans) hook. (strained voice) he ambushed me. -mm. are you hurt? i'm fine. it's not me he wants. it's gold... and his hook. -yeah, i'm gonna enjoy throwing his ass in jail. hook isn't the problem, david. tell that to my head. it's regina. she's been lying to us. -she's working with cora to find gold's dagger. the dagger controls him. if cora gets it, she can force gold and all his power to do her bidding. or... become the dark one herself. neither one of those options sounds good. -lucky for us, we can call the man himself. (dialing) he's with emma. i already tried it. sent a message. (hangs up receiver) well, we can't just wait. -no, we have to buy time until they call us back or return. how? regina. she doesn't trust her mother. never has. -if we can put some doubt in her about cora's motives, it might slow them down. and you think she'll just trust you? well, she doesn't need to trust me. she just has to listen to me. and i know how to get her to do that. -so, uh... you like pizza? yeah. l-let me guess. you're gonna tell me the best pizza's in new york and i gotta try it, right? -actually, it's in the kingdom of damarian on the north shore of the dragon fields of zorn. nah, it's in new york. here, let's get you a slice. so you're really from there? yeah, i am. -do you think that we should... if we were welcome, i feel confident an invitation would have been extended. it's a sad truth that the people closest to us are the ones capable of causing us the most pain. that's our common ground, ms. swan. guess my lying to him just caught up with me. -ah, give him time. he'll forgive you. is that you projecting your own hopes? (scoffs) my son and i have some way to go. -i can see that. i need you to speak to him. try and convince him to come back to storybrooke with us. if i recall, it was only one favor i owed you, and i think i'm paid up. this isn't about me anymore. -you'll do it for henry. how do you figure that? well, because if you don't, you're gonna wake up one morning and discover he's hopped on a bus back to new york. he ran away to boston to be with you. he'll do the same thing for his father. -until neal lets him down, which he will. it'll be a hard lesson, but then at least henry will understand that i lied to protect him. someone's beginning to sound a lot like regina. i think the real reason you lied was to protect yourself. -what's that supposed to mean? from getting hurt again. that's not happening. you want a second chance with that man. what makes you think that? -the look on your face. you have no idea what... what are we talking about? emma, neal wanted to show me the museum. do you think we can go back to the apartment and get my camera? -yeah, well, i... kids like culture, right? sure. yeah, that's fine. you like the new york pizza? yeah. -it's delicious, cheesy, and doesn't lie. (door bells jingle) (indistinct conversations) so how is henry? is he okay? -he's fine. everything's fine. what'd he say? i didn't actually talk to him. (sighs) then why am i here? -because i know you've been lying, and i thought it was time we talked about it. i don't know what you're talking about. no, no, no, no. no more lying. i know you've been with your mother. -i know you're looking for the dagger. what i'm doing is my business. there's a war starting, regina. that much is clear, yes. lucky for you, you've earned enough good will with me to give you one last chance, a chance to choose the right side... the side of good. -have you ever considered that maybe, perhaps... i am good? i was always the queen. it was you who added "evil" to my name. good doesn't do what you do. -why? regina, why go back to being this way after how hard you tried? and what did it get me? dinner with a bunch of hypocrites who pretend they'll forgive me, when... in their hearts, they know... -they never will. you're giving me the chance? how about i give you one? stay out of my way. listening to your mother is a mistake, regina. (scoffs) -because listening to you will work out so much better. she doesn't care about henry. all she wants is power. power is how you get things. she doesn't care about you. -really? and what would you know about mothers? (footsteps retreat) (door bells jingle) do you know what's wrong with her? -not yet, my dear. but i have hope that we shall know soon. then she'll be all right? (weakly) snow. mother. -you should call for the king immediately. w-what... what message shall i give him? that whatever business he's attending to can wait. he should be at his wife's side. we'll cancel the ball and turn it into a celebration... (whispers) once you're better. -we can't cancel your birthday. it'll be fine. i will be well by then. i want to see you walking in in that tiara. (kisses) -(voice breaks) i don't care about my birthday. (whispers) all i care about is you. (coughing) johanna. snow. -(continues coughing) let's leave your mother alone, hmm? it's all right. she needs her rest. come. mother? -(inhales deeply, coughs) what's going to happen to her? (voice breaks) is she going to die? (sobs) oh. -(crying) (whispers) shh. shh. i don't know. i don't want to lose her. we must hope the doctor... -he doesn't even know what's wrong with her. how can we place hope in him? (whispers) there has to be something that can save her. (continues crying) maybe there is. -(sniffles) if medicine can't cure the queen... (whisper) perhaps magic can. (sniffles) (whispers) magic? yes. -your mother has a confidant... someone few know about. someone schooled with the most powerful of magic. i'm not really supposed to even know of this. (whispers) please, johanna. there is a benevolent fairy who can grant a person's wish if their heart is true. -mine is. (whispers) i swear. where do i find this fairy? tonight, go into the woods where the sky is clearest. wish upon the blue star... (whispers) and she will appear to you. -(horn blares) so should i call you "grandpa" now? call me whatever you'd like. (neal) he's a good kid. yeah. -hey, i'm trying my best here. i know. we all are. it's just, we're gonna have to go back to our home. i'm just gettin' to know him. -well, then maybe... maybe you should come with us. to storybrooke? i've seen your apartment. you don't got a lot going on here. -looks can be deceiving. listen... there's something i've been meaning to tell you. it's complicated. so, neal, do you think we can take the subway? -yeah. sure. of course. let's go get that camera. come on. -here. i got it. (gate door squeaks and clanks) (neal) so after this, maybe times square. so, uh, did you talk to him? -he said it's complicated. oh, i see. well, maybe he just needs some time. i don't know. (door opens) oh! -uhh! (gate rattles) aah! uhh! ticktock. -(groans) time's up, crocodile. you took milah, my love, my happiness. (gasps) and for that, i now take your life. -aah! (clank) uhh! (stand clatters) gold, are you all right? (gasps) -what the hell is going on? (gasping) one of your dad's enemies found us. (whispers) hook. you know him? (gasps) -(whispers) papa? (gold grunting) found a storage room and locked our stab-happy pirate in there. he shouldn't be causing anyone else any problems. and get this... he had a map on him. it looks like he sailed his ship here. -how'd he get a pirate ship into new york? it's cloaked. don't worry. he's not gonna hurt any of us. but is mr. gold gonna be okay? -(breathing heavily) henry, he's gonna be fine. (grunts) mr. gold, are you all right? (lowered voice) you stay away from me! you caused this. -you brought us back here. you did this! (gasps) (groans) hey, kid. the battery's dead. -go in the other room and see if you can find a charger, okay? okay. oh, man. we gotta get him to an e.r. fast. -(gasps) no, it's pointless. what the hell is that? (strained voice) it's poison. it's one of hook's own making. there's no antidote in this world. -it's... it's not from here. hey. hey, hey. there's gotta be some way we can save you. there is. -there is. storybrooke. there's magic there now. we need to get him back. i'll get a car. -no, no, no. we don't have time. we need something faster. (grunts) the captain's ship. the "jolly roger" instead of a car? -it's the fastest vessel in all the realms. well, that's great, but who's gonna captain it since the only guy qualified wants you dead? i can do it. (exhales sharply) bae? (lowered voice) yeah. -i can do it. you know how to sail a pirate ship? yeah. i do. (gears shift, engine turns off) -mother superior! we need your help. i know. something's wrong. i sense a great deal of dark magic has been expelled. -that's why we're here. cora and regina are trying to find gold's dagger. so they may control the dark one. we're hoping your magic will find the dagger first. please, mother superior, you're our only hope. -(crickets chirping) is that the star? (owl hooting) or is it that one? worry not, snow white. -i have found you. (wings flapping) the blue fairy. i knew you'd come, but... i didn't even make my wish yet. -well, i know when i'm needed. your mother, the queen, is sick. yes. and if you don't help her with magic, she'll die. i can tell that you love your mother very much, snow white. -but fairy magic is the purest magic of all. and, alas, cheating death is the darkest of undertakings. (whispers) please. (voice breaks) you can't just let her die. it is the way of the world. -(whispers) there has to be something you can do. (sighs) yes. there is. you're just not telling me. -(whispers) what is it? please. i may be able to conjure a remedy using a type of magic that is forbidden to fairies, except under the most dire of circumstances. you must promise to keep this a secret. no one must ever know. -yes. yes, anything. (whispers) just help her. (whoosh) this candle is infused with magic that can save your mother's life. -but all magic, especially magic this powerful, comes with a price. what is it? in order for one to live, another must die. i don't understand. to salvage a life beyond hope means breaking the laws of nature. -so if you are to save a life... then you must lose one in return. but who must die? that is for you to decide. you must hold this candle over the heart of your sacrifice and whisper their name. -and when the candle is lit, that person's life will be traded for your mother's. all she ever wanted was for me to be good. i can't trade someone else's life for hers. then i'm afraid she will die. (sniffles) -(grunts and sighs) what are you doing? getting us a car. i thought you were suddenly a pirate and were gonna take a ship. yeah, well, we still gotta get his ass to the ship. -so you know hook? it's a long story. short version is is this world wasn't my first stop when i left home. no? if it was, i'd be a couple hundred years old by now. -(cell phone rings) that should be our ride. hang tight. (ring) (neal) hey, listen... -emma, you need to see this. what is it, kid? it's a text from david and mary margaret. you need to read it now. bad news, gold. -what, worse than incurable poison? i don't know. you tell me. you got a dagger hidden somewhere in storybrooke that's the source of all your power? (breathes deeply) get to your point. -cora's after it. the only way to stop her is have david and mary margaret get to it first. yeah, let cora try. you can't seriously be willing to risk this, not with your son coming back with you to storybrooke. ms. swan, that dagger has not left my possession for centuries. -(whispers) it's not about to now. here's the thing. you're dying... and right now we are your best hope. time's come for you to start trusting someone. if i were you, i'd start with family. -(exhales sharply) (sighs) (tinkles) (electricity crackling) (zaps) aah! -(clank) (panting) he's cast a protection spell. well, then we need to try something equally powerful. dark magic? -(scoffs) dear, you don't know what you're saying. cora can't get that dagger. if dark magic is the only thing that can break that protection spell, we need to make an exception and use it. (lowered voice) just like you told me once before. what? -i never told you any such thing. look, i kept your secret. (cell phone rings) everybody hold on. emma? -he told you where it is? (panting) (whispers) mother! (sobs) i'm sorry. i've done an awful thing. -(weakly) snow? what is it? i went to the blue fairy and begged her to help, to save you with magic. but what she gave me? it... it was dark magic. -a candle that could restore your life by taking away someone else's. it was the only way. (whispers) but i couldn't do it. (inhales deeply) i'm sorry. -(exhales deeply) i could've healed you. but i was too afraid. (crying) snow... that wasn't fear. -that was strength... strength to resist darkness. i am so proud of you. but now you won't get better. we all reach a moment in our lives where we are not meant to get better. and with or without me, someday... you will be a great queen. -(exhales) (whispers) please... don't leave me. as long as you hold the spirit of goodness in your heart, i shall never leave you. (inhales deeply) -(exhales) (gasping) (whispers) oh, no. no. (sniffles) (sobbing) -(elevator whirring) it's here! a clever hiding place for a very clever man. (clank) we did it. -the dark one finally can be controlled. indeed he can be. (whoosh) but by whom? cora. -you're too late. actually, it seems that we found you just in time. i told you to pick your side carefully. good has won, just as it always does. (laughs) i think the day's finally come, my darling snow, for you to learn a long overdue lesson. -(whoosh) johanna! (gasps) you see, in the end, it isn't good or evil that wins... but power. (squish) (gasps) -uhh! aah! (squish) aah! your choice. (clock hand ticks) -it's time, snow. today was supposed to be a day of celebration. and the kingdom needs you more than ever. they will find strength through your goodness. where will i find my strength? -(whispers) where you always have... from your mother. (exhales deeply) she was right. it is heavy. (murmuring) -(crying) (whispers) i miss you... so much. (crying softly) it's over, my dear. (whispers) it's time to let her go. -(whoosh) i hate that outfit. don't know how that fairy stands it. as for you... poison looks good on you. and death is most certainly your color. -(sniffs) mmm. you raised her well. my daughter doesn't love me the way yours does you. snow would've been a great ruler someday, but that'll never happen because my daughter will be queen, and all yours will be left with is knowing how i've felt, how it feels to be the miller's daughter. -i'll turn snow white's heart black as coal. that candle won't be her final test. and once i've darkened her soul, it won't just be you i've destroyed. it'll be your legacy. (kisses) -do not harm her. she has nothing to do with this. of course she does. whatever they want, snow, don't give it to them. quiet, handmaid. -(click) mother, watch out. (whoosh) (clank) leave me, snow! aah! enough of this. -surrender the dagger. we all know you'll follow your mother's example, no matter the cost. all she ever wanted was for you to be good. those words... where did you hear those words? where do you think? -the blue fairy made me swear never to speak of that candle again. not because it was a secret... (lowered voice) but because it wasn't her. the dagger, dear. she didn't give me that candle. you did. -my mother wasn't sick at all, was she? (chuckles) oh, she was quite sick. you did all of this. (voice breaks) you killed my mother. actually, the candle would've worked. -you could've saved her. but you knew i wouldn't. (whispers) why? why did you take her from me? to make my daughter the queen. -hand over the dagger. no. no. i will not let you win. not again! -you've already lost your mother. how many connections to her do you have left? not many, i'd wager. if we give up the dagger, we can still win. let me go, snow. -it's all right. (squish) (groaning) what would she say if she could see you now? if she wasn't dead. -(continues groaning) the dagger, dear. enough! mm. (breathes deeply) -(whoosh) such a good girl. you have what you came for. (squish) aah! (groans) -not quite everything. (whoosh) aah! (regina) well, there you go. you see where good gets you? (whoosh) -(sobbing) (sighs) it's nice to be back. hiding is quite wearisome. i like what you've done with the place. -i'm so happy you approve. what is it, my love? you're troubled. you never told me about your history with snow's mother. i spared you that burden, like any good parent would do. -you didn't think i deserved to know exactly what it took for me to become queen? now you know. that day at the stables, when i rescued her? that wasn't an accident, was it? (cora) regina, sweetie, it's time for your riding lesson. -(sighs) mother, i have no lesson today. oh, i thought you'd be happy. i arranged for you to have more time with rocinante. of course. thank you. -i'll send the stable boy for my saddle right away. (regina) you made sure i'd be in the pastures when snow rode past. i'm so tired of these endless journeys. your father the king is a lonely man. but have faith. -someday, his wanderings will end. you had to make sure when i met snow white... (loud crack) (gasps) (whinnies loudly) aah! ...her father would be searching for a new queen. help me! -help! shh. someone's here. someone help me! (gasps) -and what does this knowledge change for you? (scoffs) that you won, mother. i am the queen. and if that's what you wanted so badly, why do you need rumplestiltskin's dagger now? -you're worried my interests are no longer aligned with yours. my only interest now is henry. and i've told you, you'll have him. but how? now that mary margaret and david know we have the dagger, we can't use gold to kill them without henry finding out. -have patience, my love. by the time rumplestiltskin returns, emma swan and the rest of them will be nothing more than a vaguely unpleasant memory, and henry will be yours. (neal) it should be one more block west. once we get the car, what do we do about hook? -i don't know. he made his way to new york. i'm sure he could make his way out of a basement. you have a problem leaving him behind? actually, i've done it before. -great. i have to admit, after some of the things you've said, i'm surprised you'd rally to his side like this. there's a difference between running away from your father and watching him die in front of you. he might be a monster, but he's my blood. -what happens when he's healed? i don't know. forgiveness ain't something i think is possible with him. but somewhere inside you, you hope someday it will be. life's full of surprises, isn't it? -well, no matter what, it'll be nice for henry to be around you a little bit, even if it is just for a visit. here's our car. please tell me we are not gonna hotwire this thing. (keys jangle) no. uh... it belongs to a friend. -that's a generous friend. yeah, about that. um... we need to finish our conversation from earlier. there's something you need to know about me before we get on the ship. -neal! (panting) thank god i caught you. what are you doing here? oh! -i don't know. i... maybe i got a little worried after talking to you. you can't just say you're... you're leaving town for a while. -hey. yeah, listen. ev... everything's fine, okay? i promise. great, sweetie. -just tell me what's going on. neal? i'm tamara. emma. she's my fiancee. -it was a beautiful service. that never should've happened. johanna was an innocent. you can't blame yourself. (sighs) -you did the best you could do in an impossible situation. and yet regina's family mausoleum remains untouched. mary margaret... i've followed the same rule my entire life... hold on to goodness. it's what my mother taught me. -how many more lives is following that lesson going to take away from me? you can't let cora make you lose faith in who you are... someone who does the right thing. you know, that's exactly what she wants. i made the "right" decision when i stopped regina's execution all those years ago... when it could've saved us all of this heartache. -i made the "right" decision when i sent emma through the wardrobe alone, and we didn't see her first steps. i made the "right" decision when i let my own mother die from cora's poison. and we keep beating them. at what cost? all i want is our happy ending. -it's time. we've earned it. no more lives lost. no more hearts broken. the dagger... -it's useless until gold returns to storybrooke. we have time. we'll get it back. and when we do, we can bring cora and regina to justice. i don't care about justice anymore. -we keep thinking that people will change. what if that's wrong? what if i'm the one who has to change? change how? i'm going to kill cora. -previously on "once upon a time"... where's rumplestiltskin gone? do you really think you can just stab him in the heart with your sword? i prefer my hook, but i can't find that now. with the dark one gone, we can search for his dagger. -(emma) here's your boy. (siren wailing in distance) neal? emma? get out of my apartment! -neal. emma, i got this. you two know each other. how? mom, what's going on? -is this my son? a young boy will lead you to him. (whispers) the boy will be your undoing. then i'll just have to kill him. (indistinct conversations) -(woman) let's be certain she's seated as far away from the duke as possible, for the duchess' sake. yes, ma'am. do you like it? oh, my dear snow. you are an absolute vision. -you are gonna be the talk of the ball, and not just because it's for your birthday. (both laugh) come. i can hardly believe you're growing up so fast. (gasps) -which reminds me. i have a gift for you. it was my mother's once and her mother's before that, and soon it will be yours. (woman) johanna. (gasps) oh! -oh, your majesty. oh, please forgive me. i just wanted to see... how dare you? that's mine. -it's not for a servant. it was my mistake. servants don't wear crowns. enough. i'm sorry, your majesty... -no, i was talking to snow. me? i thought i raised you better than that, snow. it doesn't matter whether one is a servant or royalty. everyone in the kingdom deserves our love and respect. -but she took my tiara... she apologized. and it isn't yours yet. your majesty, it's all right. you're kind, johanna, but snow must learn. -my dear, we are all the same. but i thought we were royals. we are, but that doesn't make us better than anyone else. the upcoming ball, for instance... can you tell me what it's for? it's to honor me on my birthday. -no. it's for you to honor them by showing them you will be a kind and benevolent leader when that time comes. please. when you are crowned with this on your birthday, it will be a symbol that you will always hold goodness in your heart and rule justly. now do you understand? -i do, mother. it's beautiful. (chuckles) (chuckles) and it's heavier than it looks. (gasps) -your majesty! (gasps) mother! i'm fine. no, no. -you are not. come. there. i'm getting the doctor. mother. -(breathing heavily) (whispers) i'm fine, dear. what are you doing? i'm making breakfast. why? -i'm hungry. you think i don't know what you're doing. we talked about this. we had a deal. (dishes clatter) i know. -i know. but with the curse broken, i thought maybe you would change your mind. well, i didn't. what's this? -birthday present. no, i told you... it's not from me. no one else knows. apparently someone does, and they also think you should celebrate. it was left outside the door this morning. -what is it? i thought that was lost when the curse hit. (sniffles) (voice breaks) so did i. (sniffles) -(exhales) johanna. i didn't know she was in storybrooke. neither did i. after the curse, you were gone for a while. -you know, we're all still finding each other. it hasn't been easy. i have to go. (sniffles) okay. -hey. happy birthday. thank you for understanding. you should go. it's getting late. -you have to go to work. i know. i just... i just wish this day made you happier. i know, but we both know it can't. -(door closes) (sighs) (switch clicks) (clatter) (crowbar clanks) -(keys jangle) apologies, mate, but i think you have something of mine. (clink) (click) (thud) -(clank and click) once upon a time 2x15 the queen is dead original air date march 3, 2013 johanna? (whispers) snow. -it's "mary margaret" here. no. you will always be my dear snow. oh! (laughs) -i never thought i'd see you again. or this. oh. i came across it in mr. gold's shop, and i knew how much it meant to you. i knew you had to have it. -mm. (whispers) thank you. oh. i haven't seen those flowers in a long time. they reminded me of you, because they could survive the harshest winter, and you were born during the harshest one of all. -that's why she named me "snow." i thought keeping this garden would be a nice way to honor her. it is. (voice breaks) i miss her, too. (sniffles) -(whispers) oh, you. (rustle, wings flapping) what was that? stay here. i'm sure it was nothing. -snow... no, no, please. please, just stay here. i'll be right back. (dirt sifting) -(shovel thuds) (paper rustling) and you're sure this is where we're supposed to dig? (sighs) yes. hook marked it clearly. -rumplestiltskin's dagger is here. unless hook lied to us. (sighs) well, then this map is useless. gold is the only one who can translate it. oh, don't worry, sweetheart. -hook could've saved us a lot of effort with honesty, but the truth is, we don't need anyone. i can reconstruct the map. it'll just take a bit more time. and when we find it, i promise you, i'll use that dagger to force the dark one to kill anyone you like. -(footsteps approach) david? david! david? ! david! -oh! david? (inhales deeply) what happened? (groans) hook. (strained voice) he ambushed me. -mm. are you hurt? i'm fine. it's not me he wants. it's gold... and his hook. -yeah, i'm gonna enjoy throwing his ass in jail. hook isn't the problem, david. tell that to my head. it's regina. she's been lying to us. -she's working with cora to find gold's dagger. the dagger controls him. if cora gets it, she can force gold and all his power to do her bidding. or... become the dark one herself. neither one of those options sounds good. -lucky for us, we can call the man himself. (dialing) he's with emma. i already tried it. sent a message. (hangs up receiver) well, we can't just wait. -no, we have to buy time until they call us back or return. how? regina. she doesn't trust her mother. never has. -if we can put some doubt in her about cora's motives, it might slow them down. and you think she'll just trust you? well, she doesn't need to trust me. she just has to listen to me. and i know how to get her to do that. -so, uh... you like pizza? yeah. l-let me guess. you're gonna tell me the best pizza's in new york and i gotta try it, right? -actually, it's in the kingdom of damarian on the north shore of the dragon fields of zorn. nah, it's in new york. here, let's get you a slice. so you're really from there? yeah, i am. -do you think that we should... if we were welcome, i feel confident an invitation would have been extended. it's a sad truth that the people closest to us are the ones capable of causing us the most pain. that's our common ground, ms. swan. guess my lying to him just caught up with me. -ah, give him time. he'll forgive you. is that you projecting your own hopes? (scoffs) my son and i have some way to go. -i can see that. i need you to speak to him. try and convince him to come back to storybrooke with us. if i recall, it was only one favor i owed you, and i think i'm paid up. this isn't about me anymore. -you'll do it for henry. how do you figure that? well, because if you don't, you're gonna wake up one morning and discover he's hopped on a bus back to new york. he ran away to boston to be with you. he'll do the same thing for his father. -until neal lets him down, which he will. it'll be a hard lesson, but then at least henry will understand that i lied to protect him. someone's beginning to sound a lot like regina. i think the real reason you lied was to protect yourself. -what's that supposed to mean? from getting hurt again. that's not happening. you want a second chance with that man. what makes you think that? -the look on your face. you have no idea what... what are we talking about? emma, neal wanted to show me the museum. do you think we can go back to the apartment and get my camera? -yeah, well, i... kids like culture, right? sure. yeah, that's fine. you like the new york pizza? yeah. -it's delicious, cheesy, and doesn't lie. (door bells jingle) (indistinct conversations) so how is henry? is he okay? -he's fine. everything's fine. what'd he say? i didn't actually talk to him. (sighs) then why am i here? -because i know you've been lying, and i thought it was time we talked about it. i don't know what you're talking about. no, no, no, no. no more lying. i know you've been with your mother. -i know you're looking for the dagger. what i'm doing is my business. there's a war starting, regina. that much is clear, yes. lucky for you, you've earned enough good will with me to give you one last chance, a chance to choose the right side... the side of good. -have you ever considered that maybe, perhaps... i am good? i was always the queen. it was you who added "evil" to my name. good doesn't do what you do. -why? regina, why go back to being this way after how hard you tried? and what did it get me? dinner with a bunch of hypocrites who pretend they'll forgive me, when... in their hearts, they know... -they never will. you're giving me the chance? how about i give you one? stay out of my way. listening to your mother is a mistake, regina. (scoffs) -because listening to you will work out so much better. she doesn't care about henry. all she wants is power. power is how you get things. she doesn't care about you. -really? and what would you know about mothers? (footsteps retreat) (door bells jingle) do you know what's wrong with her? -not yet, my dear. but i have hope that we shall know soon. then she'll be all right? (weakly) snow. mother. -you should call for the king immediately. w-what... what message shall i give him? that whatever business he's attending to can wait. he should be at his wife's side. we'll cancel the ball and turn it into a celebration... (whispers) once you're better. -we can't cancel your birthday. it'll be fine. i will be well by then. i want to see you walking in in that tiara. (kisses) -(voice breaks) i don't care about my birthday. (whispers) all i care about is you. (coughing) johanna. snow. -(continues coughing) let's leave your mother alone, hmm? it's all right. she needs her rest. come. mother? -(inhales deeply, coughs) what's going to happen to her? (voice breaks) is she going to die? (sobs) oh. -(crying) (whispers) shh. shh. i don't know. i don't want to lose her. we must hope the doctor... -he doesn't even know what's wrong with her. how can we place hope in him? (whispers) there has to be something that can save her. (continues crying) maybe there is. -(sniffles) if medicine can't cure the queen... (whisper) perhaps magic can. (sniffles) (whispers) magic? yes. -your mother has a confidant... someone few know about. someone schooled with the most powerful of magic. i'm not really supposed to even know of this. (whispers) please, johanna. there is a benevolent fairy who can grant a person's wish if their heart is true. -mine is. (whispers) i swear. where do i find this fairy? tonight, go into the woods where the sky is clearest. wish upon the blue star... (whispers) and she will appear to you. -(horn blares) so should i call you "grandpa" now? call me whatever you'd like. (neal) he's a good kid. yeah. -hey, i'm trying my best here. i know. we all are. it's just, we're gonna have to go back to our home. i'm just gettin' to know him. -well, then maybe... maybe you should come with us. to storybrooke? i've seen your apartment. you don't got a lot going on here. -looks can be deceiving. listen... there's something i've been meaning to tell you. it's complicated. so, neal, do you think we can take the subway? -yeah. sure. of course. let's go get that camera. come on. -here. i got it. (gate door squeaks and clanks) (neal) so after this, maybe times square. so, uh, did you talk to him? -he said it's complicated. oh, i see. well, maybe he just needs some time. i don't know. (door opens) oh! -uhh! (gate rattles) aah! uhh! ticktock. -(groans) time's up, crocodile. you took milah, my love, my happiness. (gasps) and for that, i now take your life. -aah! (clank) uhh! (stand clatters) gold, are you all right? (gasps) -what the hell is going on? (gasping) one of your dad's enemies found us. (whispers) hook. you know him? (gasps) -(whispers) papa? (gold grunting) found a storage room and locked our stab-happy pirate in there. he shouldn't be causing anyone else any problems. and get this... he had a map on him. it looks like he sailed his ship here. -how'd he get a pirate ship into new york? it's cloaked. don't worry. he's not gonna hurt any of us. but is mr. gold gonna be okay? -(breathing heavily) henry, he's gonna be fine. (grunts) mr. gold, are you all right? (lowered voice) you stay away from me! you caused this. -you brought us back here. you did this! (gasps) (groans) hey, kid. the battery's dead. -go in the other room and see if you can find a charger, okay? okay. oh, man. we gotta get him to an e.r. fast. -(gasps) no, it's pointless. what the hell is that? (strained voice) it's poison. it's one of hook's own making. there's no antidote in this world. -it's... it's not from here. hey. hey, hey. there's gotta be some way we can save you. there is. -there is. storybrooke. there's magic there now. we need to get him back. i'll get a car. -no, no, no. we don't have time. we need something faster. (grunts) the captain's ship. the "jolly roger" instead of a car? -it's the fastest vessel in all the realms. well, that's great, but who's gonna captain it since the only guy qualified wants you dead? i can do it. (exhales sharply) bae? (lowered voice) yeah. -i can do it. you know how to sail a pirate ship? yeah. i do. (gears shift, engine turns off) -mother superior! we need your help. i know. something's wrong. i sense a great deal of dark magic has been expelled. -that's why we're here. cora and regina are trying to find gold's dagger. so they may control the dark one. we're hoping your magic will find the dagger first. please, mother superior, you're our only hope. -(crickets chirping) is that the star? (owl hooting) or is it that one? worry not, snow white. -i have found you. (wings flapping) the blue fairy. i knew you'd come, but... i didn't even make my wish yet. -well, i know when i'm needed. your mother, the queen, is sick. yes. and if you don't help her with magic, she'll die. i can tell that you love your mother very much, snow white. -but fairy magic is the purest magic of all. and, alas, cheating death is the darkest of undertakings. (whispers) please. (voice breaks) you can't just let her die. it is the way of the world. -(whispers) there has to be something you can do. (sighs) yes. there is. you're just not telling me. -(whispers) what is it? please. i may be able to conjure a remedy using a type of magic that is forbidden to fairies, except under the most dire of circumstances. you must promise to keep this a secret. no one must ever know. -yes. yes, anything. (whispers) just help her. (whoosh) this candle is infused with magic that can save your mother's life. -but all magic, especially magic this powerful, comes with a price. what is it? in order for one to live, another must die. i don't understand. to salvage a life beyond hope means breaking the laws of nature. -so if you are to save a life... then you must lose one in return. but who must die? that is for you to decide. you must hold this candle over the heart of your sacrifice and whisper their name. -and when the candle is lit, that person's life will be traded for your mother's. all she ever wanted was for me to be good. i can't trade someone else's life for hers. then i'm afraid she will die. (sniffles) -(grunts and sighs) what are you doing? getting us a car. i thought you were suddenly a pirate and were gonna take a ship. yeah, well, we still gotta get his ass to the ship. -so you know hook? it's a long story. short version is is this world wasn't my first stop when i left home. no? if it was, i'd be a couple hundred years old by now. -(cell phone rings) that should be our ride. hang tight. (ring) (neal) hey, listen... -emma, you need to see this. what is it, kid? it's a text from david and mary margaret. you need to read it now. bad news, gold. -what, worse than incurable poison? i don't know. you tell me. you got a dagger hidden somewhere in storybrooke that's the source of all your power? (breathes deeply) get to your point. -cora's after it. the only way to stop her is have david and mary margaret get to it first. yeah, let cora try. you can't seriously be willing to risk this, not with your son coming back with you to storybrooke. ms. swan, that dagger has not left my possession for centuries. -(whispers) it's not about to now. here's the thing. you're dying... and right now we are your best hope. time's come for you to start trusting someone. if i were you, i'd start with family. -(exhales sharply) (sighs) (tinkles) (electricity crackling) (zaps) aah! -(clank) (panting) he's cast a protection spell. well, then we need to try something equally powerful. dark magic? -(scoffs) dear, you don't know what you're saying. cora can't get that dagger. if dark magic is the only thing that can break that protection spell, we need to make an exception and use it. (lowered voice) just like you told me once before. what? -i never told you any such thing. look, i kept your secret. (cell phone rings) everybody hold on. emma? -he told you where it is? (panting) (whispers) mother! (sobs) i'm sorry. i've done an awful thing. -(weakly) snow? what is it? i went to the blue fairy and begged her to help, to save you with magic. but what she gave me? it... it was dark magic. -a candle that could restore your life by taking away someone else's. it was the only way. (whispers) but i couldn't do it. (inhales deeply) i'm sorry. -(exhales deeply) i could've healed you. but i was too afraid. (crying) snow... that wasn't fear. -that was strength... strength to resist darkness. i am so proud of you. but now you won't get better. we all reach a moment in our lives where we are not meant to get better. and with or without me, someday... you will be a great queen. -(exhales) (whispers) please... don't leave me. as long as you hold the spirit of goodness in your heart, i shall never leave you. (inhales deeply) -(exhales) (gasping) (whispers) oh, no. no. (sniffles) (sobbing) -(elevator whirring) it's here! a clever hiding place for a very clever man. (clank) we did it. -the dark one finally can be controlled. indeed he can be. (whoosh) but by whom? cora. -you're too late. actually, it seems that we found you just in time. i told you to pick your side carefully. good has won, just as it always does. (laughs) i think the day's finally come, my darling snow, for you to learn a long overdue lesson. -(whoosh) johanna! (gasps) you see, in the end, it isn't good or evil that wins... but power. (squish) (gasps) -uhh! aah! (squish) aah! your choice. (clock hand ticks) -it's time, snow. today was supposed to be a day of celebration. and the kingdom needs you more than ever. they will find strength through your goodness. where will i find my strength? -(whispers) where you always have... from your mother. (exhales deeply) she was right. it is heavy. (murmuring) -(crying) (whispers) i miss you... so much. (crying softly) it's over, my dear. (whispers) it's time to let her go. -(whoosh) i hate that outfit. don't know how that fairy stands it. as for you... poison looks good on you. and death is most certainly your color. -(sniffs) mmm. you raised her well. my daughter doesn't love me the way yours does you. snow would've been a great ruler someday, but that'll never happen because my daughter will be queen, and all yours will be left with is knowing how i've felt, how it feels to be the miller's daughter. -i'll turn snow white's heart black as coal. that candle won't be her final test. and once i've darkened her soul, it won't just be you i've destroyed. it'll be your legacy. (kisses) -do not harm her. she has nothing to do with this. of course she does. whatever they want, snow, don't give it to them. quiet, handmaid. -(click) mother, watch out. (whoosh) (clank) leave me, snow! aah! enough of this. -surrender the dagger. we all know you'll follow your mother's example, no matter the cost. all she ever wanted was for you to be good. those words... where did you hear those words? where do you think? -the blue fairy made me swear never to speak of that candle again. not because it was a secret... (lowered voice) but because it wasn't her. the dagger, dear. she didn't give me that candle. you did. -my mother wasn't sick at all, was she? (chuckles) oh, she was quite sick. you did all of this. (voice breaks) you killed my mother. actually, the candle would've worked. -you could've saved her. but you knew i wouldn't. (whispers) why? why did you take her from me? to make my daughter the queen. -hand over the dagger. no. no. i will not let you win. not again! -you've already lost your mother. how many connections to her do you have left? not many, i'd wager. if we give up the dagger, we can still win. let me go, snow. -it's all right. (squish) (groaning) what would she say if she could see you now? if she wasn't dead. -(continues groaning) the dagger, dear. enough! mm. (breathes deeply) -(whoosh) such a good girl. you have what you came for. (squish) aah! (groans) -not quite everything. (whoosh) aah! (regina) well, there you go. you see where good gets you? (whoosh) -(sobbing) (sighs) it's nice to be back. hiding is quite wearisome. i like what you've done with the place. -i'm so happy you approve. what is it, my love? you're troubled. you never told me about your history with snow's mother. i spared you that burden, like any good parent would do. -you didn't think i deserved to know exactly what it took for me to become queen? now you know. that day at the stables, when i rescued her? that wasn't an accident, was it? (cora) regina, sweetie, it's time for your riding lesson. -(sighs) mother, i have no lesson today. oh, i thought you'd be happy. i arranged for you to have more time with rocinante. of course. thank you. -i'll send the stable boy for my saddle right away. (regina) you made sure i'd be in the pastures when snow rode past. i'm so tired of these endless journeys. your father the king is a lonely man. but have faith. -someday, his wanderings will end. you had to make sure when i met snow white... (loud crack) (gasps) (whinnies loudly) aah! ...her father would be searching for a new queen. help me! -help! shh. someone's here. someone help me! (gasps) -and what does this knowledge change for you? (scoffs) that you won, mother. i am the queen. and if that's what you wanted so badly, why do you need rumplestiltskin's dagger now? -you're worried my interests are no longer aligned with yours. my only interest now is henry. and i've told you, you'll have him. but how? now that mary margaret and david know we have the dagger, we can't use gold to kill them without henry finding out. -have patience, my love. by the time rumplestiltskin returns, emma swan and the rest of them will be nothing more than a vaguely unpleasant memory, and henry will be yours. (neal) it should be one more block west. once we get the car, what do we do about hook? -i don't know. he made his way to new york. i'm sure he could make his way out of a basement. you have a problem leaving him behind? actually, i've done it before. -great. i have to admit, after some of the things you've said, i'm surprised you'd rally to his side like this. there's a difference between running away from your father and watching him die in front of you. he might be a monster, but he's my blood. -what happens when he's healed? i don't know. forgiveness ain't something i think is possible with him. but somewhere inside you, you hope someday it will be. life's full of surprises, isn't it? -well, no matter what, it'll be nice for henry to be around you a little bit, even if it is just for a visit. here's our car. please tell me we are not gonna hotwire this thing. (keys jangle) no. uh... it belongs to a friend. -that's a generous friend. yeah, about that. um... we need to finish our conversation from earlier. there's something you need to know about me before we get on the ship. -neal! (panting) thank god i caught you. what are you doing here? oh! -i don't know. i... maybe i got a little worried after talking to you. you can't just say you're... you're leaving town for a while. -hey. yeah, listen. ev... everything's fine, okay? i promise. great, sweetie. -just tell me what's going on. neal? i'm tamara. emma. she's my fiancee. -it was a beautiful service. that never should've happened. johanna was an innocent. you can't blame yourself. (sighs) -you did the best you could do in an impossible situation. and yet regina's family mausoleum remains untouched. mary margaret... i've followed the same rule my entire life... hold on to goodness. it's what my mother taught me. -how many more lives is following that lesson going to take away from me? you can't let cora make you lose faith in who you are... someone who does the right thing. you know, that's exactly what she wants. i made the "right" decision when i stopped regina's execution all those years ago... when it could've saved us all of this heartache. -i made the "right" decision when i sent emma through the wardrobe alone, and we didn't see her first steps. i made the "right" decision when i let my own mother die from cora's poison. and we keep beating them. at what cost? all i want is our happy ending. -it's time. we've earned it. no more lives lost. no more hearts broken. the dagger... -it's useless until gold returns to storybrooke. we have time. we'll get it back. and when we do, we can bring cora and regina to justice. i don't care about justice anymore. -we keep thinking that people will change. what if that's wrong? what if i'm the one who has to change? change how? i'm going to kill cora. -did you know where the spirits go after people die? many believe that the spirits... will remain close to us in a parallel world. and sometimes they may even try to talk to us to tell us something. "possessed" three. -two. one. action! hi, i'm pent. i'm the director of a short film called... -to eternal lovee until death do us part and i will never break your heart. is that a poem or a moveie title? you sure about that? i'm inspired by a true story that once happened here. it was a story about a blind rich girl... who fell in lovee with a deaf poor man. -this is where they met. naturally, the girl's parents intervened... and forced her to marry some rich guy. as soon as the man found out... he decided to kill himself and gave her his eyes. so when the girl...who could now see learned about the sacrifice... she killed herself too. right here. -bullshit! i was told that someone actually hung herself right in that pavilion. well, then use that to promote the film. tell people this is based on true story. if they don't buy it, well...screw 'em. -japan, why don't you go check on the camera? go on. get your ass moveing. what are you up to, mr. zenjen? i'm hearing veoices? -/ whose veoices? shhh... i heard something. what is it? shit! / that's funny. -this tomboy is a cameragirl. her name is ying. what are you filming this for? what you see is not always what you get. this macho-looking guy is a she-man -hey! what the hell? asshole! this young lady is a general assistant. ji, can you look at the camera? -i'm doing the behind-the-scene thing for youtube. it's gonna be a blockbuster. trust me. ji. ji. -there's a ghost behind you./ what the hell? what's wrong with you? it's way past 9 a.m. and we haven't even started yet. quit screwing around./ what do you want me to do? there's no one around. -but i just saw our leading man. go fetch him./ all right. i'll go get him. not me. what? -/ what on earth are you doing back here? i'vee been looking all oveer for you. i'm just trying to memorize the script. memorize the script? / that's right. -you're playing a dumb guy...you know...can't talk. there's nothing to memorize. listen! even though i can't talk...

-a ghost./ ghost? where is it? / it was right here. i don't see any. you can't... cause you don't have a sixth sense. -this man is a cemetery guard. listen! i'm really sorry about this. how long will you guys be here for? / just one day. -well, try not to stay up too late then. you might irk the others. who are the others? it's just us oveer here. i'm talking about those lying under the ground. -that'd be great. our film will be much more realistic if they could join us. beware of what you wish for./ are they real? hurry up! we don't have all day. -what's with all the light checking? it changes anyway./ i don't like it this way. knock it off, will you? what the hell is wrong with you guys? when're we gonna start shooting?

do you feel lonely? what's taking her so long? -a cameragirl as a leading lady? i can't believe it. givee me a break. we have no other choice. i think she's good for the role. are you an amateur? -making a tomboy a leading lady. i'm ready. look at those shoes./ don't you have other pairs? you'll just have to deal with it. action! -honey... do you realize you're the lovee of my life? cut! cut! what is that? / why did you cut that? -i saw something in the camera./ i didn't see any. that's impossible. i tagged along...hoping to see a ghost. i always wanted to see one. grisly ghost! -grisly ghost! grisly ghost my ass. come on. i saw something flashing by just now. where? -ok... on the count of three... if it doesn't show up... we'll leave./ deal. one. two. three. -let's go. i'm so disappointed... i didn't get to see one. maybe i needed to count longer. yeah, right. -don't be naughty. i'll come back in a bit. who're you talking to?

i can't. i need to finish this film. but you'vee been missing it for many years. -i'm really busy, pop. besides grandpa must'vee been reincarnated by now. you're an ingrate. that's why you're still a nobody. i'm done talking to you. -that's it. i'm so sick of it. it's always worshipping this and that it's a waste of time and money. your grandpa must be so proud of you. ji is a poor girl. -her dad is a runaway felon... for selling fake amulets. her mom is really into spiritual beings... and her friends think she's the witch's daughter. i don't realize her life is so eventful. that's why she's a recluse... -locks herself up in a room after school... doesn't talk to anybody much... i'm afraid she'll go nuts. so i take her here... hoping to brighten things up for her. are you gonna cry? -/ nope. this is too spicy for me. sorry. are you lonely? wanna go home? -we'll be home real soon. pent... do you have it in another color? this is like a see-through dress. people can see the outline of my underwear. this is the funeral. -you want an orange dress? if you got one... sure./ i think you look really sexy in that. i can barely see your pantie./ barely? hey, babe. hit me baby one more time./ babe? -cut it out. he's a creep. let's get back to work. you pervert./ that's enough. get back to work, ying./ what're you staring at? -what's wrong with these two? hey, book. why don't you movee the offerings out? it looks better that way./ are you sure? just movee them out. i'm about to start now. -all right / hurry up! hold on, guys. i think you should ask for permission before moveing them. that won't be necessary. you worry too much. -i'm sure the dead won't mind. that's right. we're just shooting a short film. take them out, book. don't worry about it. i'll start from the end to the beginning. -it's hollywood's latest trend./ whatever floats your boat gosh! hey, book. where is the coffin i asked you to bring? look, pent./ what? you gave me only a few bucks. -how am i supposed to get a coffin with that? what do you think? you're asking me? that's all the money we got. that's plenty, i think -anyway you're the art director it's your job to figure it out. so what? what? / what? you want me to dig one out? -they shouldn't have any problem./ that's not a bad idea. we can save money. that might work./ what a moron! knock it off. stop it! -why don't you go look around? see if we can borrow a spare one. go on. get out of here. what an attitude! you idiot. -you think this is a hollywood film? it's just a senior project. uncle./ what is it, boy? do you have a spare coffin i can borrow? who's dead? -/ no one. it's for a prop in our film. no problem. just a second. ok, let's go. -look at all these graves, boy. they're coveered with oveergrown grass. nobody cares about them anymore. the children have forgotten that... they have today because their dead ancestors... had worked so hard to raise them. maybe they don't have time. -it's pretty far out. they always have time to go somewhere, don't they? even oveerseas. what about your own children? / i'vee got three. -haven't seen any lately though./ and your wife? she's here./ here? how come i'vee never seen her? that's because she's six feet under. japan./ what? -why don't you find something to coveer the picture of the dead? i think it's better off without that./ do it yourself. what're you scared of? all right. i'll do it. -always an excuse. every single one of you. book is one./ so are you. will this work? i think so. -it's just what we need. today is the chinese's ghost day. that's why i haven't buried this one. you mean there's a body in there? sure. -you wanna take a look? i can show you. you can ask him to be in your film. thanks, but no thanks. i just want an empty coffin. -well, i don't have any. this is the only one left. do you still want it? hmm, how about this? i'll take the body out first and bring just the coffin. -when i'm done i'll put the body back in there. no way. that's strictly forbidden. once the body's in, you can't take it out. the spirit will be lost can't find its way back. -and one more thing. if someone smells or hears something... don't say a word. when you movee the coffin always go forward. never back. also, don't make a noise... and don't ever let the coffin touch the ground. -always find something to cushion. can you remember all these? i believe so. hey, japan. focus the camera on me. -i want to make sure people see me. can we change this portrait? i don't like it. it's too late now./ take a good look at this. we're running out of daylight. -take it easy. cut it out, you guys./ wait a minute. this is the best we'vee got./ damn it! you never listen to me./ no, you listen to me. shit! -it's hot./ you deserve it, asshole. now, listen to me./ what? i'm doing this for free.../ i could'vee made 20 bucks a day. you know how much that is? it's getting heavy. -it's heavy./ i know. shut up. i'm trying to concentrate. where is this smell coming from? shit! -it really stinks. all right. let's get ready./ ok. action! / wait a minute. -what is it again? / my portrait. it needs some cleaning up. all done. ready to roll. -movee it. you're blocking the camera. ok. ready? action! -i can handle it myself. slow down a bit./ yeah. slow down a bit. slower./ slower. a little slower./ a little slower. -damn! can't you movee in unison? / yeah. movee in unison. that's it./ that's it. -step further back./ that's right. step further back. i can't focus the camera./ he can't focus. stop repeating after me./ holy shit! hey, japan. -concentrate, will you? i'm sweating like i'm in a sauna. ready? / yes. take two. -action! cut! cut! / what again? zenjen. what now? -i'm hearing something in my headphone. that's impossible. there's no one around. are you sure? i'm positivee. -i definitely heard something. maybe it's from some people nearby./ yeah. maybe. dear grandpas and grandmas. may i please continue my shooting? -please let us finish our job. it's gone. we're ready to go. hey, book. why is the coffin so damn heavy? why not? there's a body inside. -why do you stop moveing? ji. ji. she's going into shock. this will require a mouth-to-mouth. -ji. ji./ let him go. are you ok? why did you hit me, bitch? / you insulted me. -insulted you? are you kidding me? ji, what's wrong? can any of you help? what just happened? -/ you pretentious slut. are you sure you didn't know anything? ji, what happened? look...there is an old man... sitting on the coffin. you guys find someone else. -i'm out of here. hey, japan. i'm also out. this is so spooky./ ying. ying. -wait up! / hey, zenjen. we're out as well. this is not what we signed up for. let's get the hell out. -it's all because of you, book. why did you bring a real coffin? / now the shit is all on me? you suck. you can't handle your job. -you suck more. i gotta go through shit. i can't work with you anymore. fine. go do something else. -i don't care. you can count me out. i'm out of here. fine. get out! -well, everyone's out now. so what do we do? pack our shit. get out of here. here we are. -the gas station. pull oveer. hurry! you're not using the bathroom? / i'm fine. -want me to get something for you? i'm coming with you. can you go in with me? / you want me that bad? don't flatter yourself... -i'm just scared. hey, ying./ wait right here. and... no peeking. ok. hurry up! -hey, ying. will you take it easy? i can almost picture it. shut up! i'vee got something to tell you./ what? -i think i'm in lovee with you. will you be my girl? you idiot. this is your idea of romance? i'm so not into it right now. what's the matter? -i think you're really pretty when you smile. how can i smile when... when what? when i'm... nothing. so...what are you going to do next? -i'll probably shoot the film myself. i'm going to direct it this time. let me know if there's anything i can do./ really? the coffee is kind of bitter, don't you think? it could...use some sweetener. -just kidding. you son of a bitch. what is wrong with you? scared the shit out of me. you know in a horror film... a ghost always appears in the mirror. -just like this. you idiot! what're you trying to pull? i almost shit in my pants. because you saw yourself in the mirror? -right...you look just like robert pattinson yourself. thanks for the compliment. who could be calling now? hello./ what's up, dave?

it'll be stolen. all right. -i'll bring it back to you then./ now! right this second! guys, i'll have to bring the key back to dave. stop howling... you stupid dogs. can't you stop more gently? -it's abs technology. where is he? i can't see him. i'm sorry...the number you'vee reached... damn! -his phone's dead. let's go and find him./ we're not going. you go ahead, aof. thanks so much... for your kind support. come on. -go. you idiot. where can he be? god damn it. you scared me, man. -i thought you weren't coming. i think we should go back now. just leave the key here. he'll be back soon./ i can't just leave. he'll kill me if something happens to his car. -this car? look at this. i don't even know how it still runs. it's ancient. givee him a break. -let's go look in the pavilion. he might be in there. why couldn't you just wait at the car? it would save me a lot of trouble. actually this place is not that scary. -you could'vee come out here by yourself. yeah, right. it's actually kinda nice here. and i...will always lovee you./ shut the hell up. why? -i'vee got good veoice./ this is not the time. let's go inside. quit acting like a child./ that was a classic gag. let's get in. this door could definitely use some lube. -is that dave? i think so. let's check it out. aof, i think he's dead. we need to get out of here./ hold on. -he might still be alivee. i gotta help him. an asshole like him deserves to die anyway. what's all the commotion about?

good luck and godspeed. -let's go home. i'm exhausted. you guys can't go just yet./ why's that? you have to take the coffin back first. otherwise...you know... you may not be able to get out of here -wait a minute. where're you going? i'm going back to get some sleep. stay with us, uncle. tonight is the 7th lunar month./ oh, is it? you wanna take us to the full moon party? -what are you kids talking about? it's the chinese's ghost day. tonight, hell's gate opens up... and the spirits will come out to take the offerings. that sounds more like an urban legend. you don't have to believe me. -i'm just warning you. all right, i'm leaving now. and don't forget to bring the coffin back. ok. let's do it so we can all go home. -it's not my job. maybe we can do it tomorrow. are you sure? / absolutely! fine. -ji book...a match made in heaven. i'll do it tomorrow. don't worry. let's go home now. book, this doesn't look familiar at all. -are you sure this is the way out? / he knows what he's doing. i recognize this red pavilion. why do you stop? someone just cut in front of our vean. -did we hit him? / i don't care. let's get out of here. i don't think it's human./ that's right. let's get going. -come on, book. but i think you should go check it out. shit! book. i don't see anything at all. -why don't you take a look underneath?

/ that was a fake too. -you bitch. you'vee been fooling us all this time? can you spare some change? damn! i thought you were a ghost. -just a beggar. why did you do it? i wanted you guys to believe it so you wouldn't insult the dead. that's why you did it? i'm so sorry. -don't be. i'm not buying it. you're such a liar. what more do you want? she said she's sorry. -let's get out of here. ji... ji... something's wrong with her. you're faking it again, bitch? -/ take it easy, ying. allow me... what was that for? you haven't learned, have you? a chinese ghost, huh? i know chinese. -let me demonstrate my kung-fu movees. ying. i think it's real this time. look at the blood. if you really wanna know if she's possessed... you have to see through your legs. -really? / really. wow! your ass is huge. stop kidding around. -i'm serious. what did you see? a ghost. who is it? maybe it's your grandpa. -how do you know? he's probably upset that you didn't go pay him respect today. i'm so sorry, grandpa. please forgivee me. what did he say? -he said you're an asshole. asshole? are you sure? do you really know how to speak chinese? i took some lessons. -i'm pretty sure. or is it the one you spray-painted on his picture? please accept my apology. i didn't mean to. i'm really sorry. -what did he say? he said that's not his picture. why did he hit me then? well? / his friend asked him to. -oh, i think i know. i'm so sorry. i didn't mean to pee on your grave. i was wrong. i deserve to die. -what did he say? / that's not his grave either. that's a relief. thanks so much. what's that for? -well? / you're getting on his nerves. getting on his nerves? now we're even. i know... -must be the one in the coffin we used in our film. how do you know that? that's easy. most ghost films are like that. some ghosts come back for revenge. -some for belongings, and some for lovee. this one is probably upset that no one knows where his body is... or something like that. see? he said i'm right./ that's not what he said. he said... he's going to kill us. -can you ask him what he wants from us? what do you want? you damn ghost! hey, be nice to him. we just want to know what he wants. -translate that. he wants us to bring him back to his grave. well, it's your grave... we're not coming with you. all right. -let's do it. so... nobody's coming with me? what are you guys waiting for? come on. ying./ what? -you stay back here and watch her. you want me to stay here with her? / yes. i don't think so. you're the best person. -you're the only one who can speak chinese. i'll stay with you./ i'd rather stay with him. come on. let's get moveing. what do you think you're doing, book? -he probably needs some air. you're so considerate. shall we? aof, wait up. what's wrong with you? -/ i'm scared. no need to be...oops. what's wrong with you two? keep it down. not my turf. -it's spooky. shit! why is the lid open? where's the surprise? in a typical ghost film, this is the "surprise" moment. -lizard. lizard! do you believe in ghost day? why are you asking me this? i just wanted to know... when the ghosts will come out. -why don't you givee your grandpa a call? did you see that? / what is it? i wouldn't ask if i knew. would you stop bombarding me with questions? -i'm terrified now. why did he honk? help! help! let go of her. -help me! stop yelling. slow down. i told you two to stay and watch ji. why are you here? well, she almost killed us both. -her face's turned into an old man. it's frightening. i'm going back there./ wait for me, book. i'm with you. hurry! -/ hey, come back. i'm not going back there. are you? no. hi, how're you? -hello. excuse me. do you happen to know the way out? it's quite confusing in here. keep going straight. -take a right when you see a big oak tree... then take a left at the anthill... and take one more left turn when you get out of the cemetery. that's it? thanks! but it sounds really complicated. i got bad memory... you know? -so if you're not busy, why don't you come along for the ride? we'll split up at the gate. i'm waiting for my boyfriend. well, do let me know when your boyfriend's away then. must'vee never been out in the sun... so damn pale. -see you later, beautiful. remember, when your boyfriend's away, let me know. pervert! damn! where's she? -that's good. i'll go find her. this is a cemetery. not a city center that you can roam around anytime you want. are you crazy? -hey, wait up./ easy. why didn't you ask me to come? you were too full of yourself. hey, guys. where do you think the body went? -well, it's possible that the coffin was empty at first. yeah. a twist ending that fools us all... but if it ends like this the veiewers will kill us. will you stop thinking we're in a moveie? the atmosphere is so right. -what are you gonna do if something grabs your leg? shut up already. i nearly pissed my pants. don't worry. usually it's the one at the back who gets the action first. -guys. help me please. i fell into a hole. pent. hey./ what? -come on. help me out. stop pointing the flashlight at me. this is great. the other hand. -can't find a better way out, can you?

-this can't be her. doesn't look anything like her at all./ yes, this is her. but she didn't look this old then step back./ hurry! no doubt. -she looks much older. what's going on here? what did she say? / tell me. wait. wait. -she mumbled something about helping her. it has something to do with crying... i think. you'd better shut your mouth. ying. what did she say? -she said her body is in the swamp. if that's so we'll need to call the police for help. take it easy./ call the police. more... she wants something more? shut up! -what does it mean? she wants us to get her body out of the swamp right now. really? is she nuts? who's gonna do it? -i won't. my pretty face might get infection. i can't swim... swear to god. i'm a girl. i'm not going in. -me too. i'm chicken. i'm a wimp. that was well synchronized... you bitches. who's gonna do it then?

i heard some noise so i thought there was a thief in here. that's him. he freaked out and screamed like a girl. -that's not true. and why are you up this late? shouldn't you be home already? how could we?

look, pent /+ what? you gave me only a few bucks -how am i supposed to get a coffin with that? what do you think? you're asking me? that's all the money we got that's plenty, i think -anyway you're the art director... it's your job to figure it out so what? what? /+ what? you want me to dig one out? -they shouldn't have any problem that's not a bad idea we can save money that might work what a moron! -knock it off stop it! why don't you go look around? see if we can borrow a spare one go on -get out of here what an attitude! you idiot you think this is a hollywood film? it's just a senior project -uncle what is it, boy? do you have a spare coffin i can borrow? who's dead? no one -it's for a prop in our film no problem just a second ok, let's go look at all these graves, boy -they're covered with overgrown grass nobody cares about them anymore the children have forgotten that... they have today because their dead ancestors... had worked so hard to raise them maybe they don't have time it's pretty far out -well... they always have time to go somewhere, don't they? even overseas what about your own children? i've got three haven't seen any lately though -and your wife? she's here here? how come i've never seen her? that's because she's six feet under -japan what?

i think so it's just what we need -today is the chinese's ghost day that's why i haven't buried this one you mean there's a body in there? sure. you wanna take a look? -i can show you you can ask him to be in your film thanks, but no thanks i just want an empty coffin well, i don't have any -this is the only one left do you still want it? hmm, how about this? i'll take the body out first and bring just the coffin when i'm done... -i'll put the body back in there no way. that's strictly forbidden once the body's in, you can't take it out the spirit will be lost... can't find its way back -and one more thing if someone smells or hears something... don't say a word when you move the coffin always go forward. never back also, don't make a noise and don't ever let the coffin touch the ground -always find something to cushion can you remember all these? i believe so hey, japan focus the camera on me -i want to make sure people see me can we change this portrait? i don't like it -it's too late now take a good look at this we're running out of daylight -take it easy cut it out, you guys wait a minute this is the best we've got /+ damn it! you never listen to me -no, you listen to me shit! it's hot you deserve it, asshole now, listen to me /+ what?

yeah. move in unison -that's it /+ that's it step further back that's right. step further back i can't focus the camera -he can't focus stop repeating after me holy shit! hey, japan. concentrate, will you? -i'm sweating like i'm in a sauna ready? /+ yes take two. action! -cut! cut! what again? what? we shouldn't call ji-eun three-bear. -i don't think she'd like it. who cares? there are times when you're excessive. what? when i look at ji-eun i'm reminded of young-hyun... -it's sad. why talk about someone who's not around? act that way in front of your husband. i wouldn't be this way in front of him. what's this about? -it says "stock" (? ) stock? why that? explain it to me. -as it's stock... then a bird (brain)... it's about mating... see, look... good day, madam. aigoo, kim kyo-soo. -and madam is also out, i see. hello. seeing the paintings? no just bored. your mother is in good health? -yes, of course. who...? our daughter. from the wedding..? nice to meet you. -i'm han ji-eun. she's pretty. you must be delighted. yes, sure. then, excuse me. -hope to see you again. good. hello! you were the one who sold the house? are you really friends? -it seems you like taking advantage of ji-eun's good nature do it again and i won't leave you alone. people like you should be eating prison food. are you crying? hee-jin doesn't know about the world -but because of me she's been disowned has known hardship because of me, though our baby is developing fine. you don't have a right to cry. don't cry. hyung, forgive me. -i was wrong. get off! my pants are falling. the boss is looking for you. ok. -let go of me! you know about the press conference for our movie? i hope it goes well. i'm kind of scared. no need. -your wife is coming too, right? back then, there were times i would eat and wouldn't eat. a person's got to eat. but since now i'm not alone, it's because that guy... i mean, because my husband's around i'm always cooking. -when you live by yourself, eating and holidays would be fundamental. during holidays, i went over to a friend's house. friend's house? there's a friend of mine, dong-wook. he lived with his grandmom. -at new year's or thanksgiving, she'd invite me over. must be a very kind-hearted person. she's passed away but because of her - i can't kill that jerkface dong-wook... anyway, during holidays, we three would eat and play cards. -but i'm reminded of it now. you know how to play "go-stop"? oh, extremely well! this.. if you have nothing else, then use this. the guy with the umbrella. -she says this is "rain" i've got nothing. is that all you got? ah, i shouldn't have taken that out. you 'pissed' it! -pissed? mother, my apologies, but i got it. go-stop is unpredictable that way. try that! sure. -let's stay out of each other's lives. you've done well in keeping grandmom company all day. no, it was fun for me too. the time flew. since it's late, do you want to sleep over instead? -right, sleep and leave tomorrow. call young-jae and go tomorrow. honor student? him? he must have loved school. -he must have loved school. he played around with these too? how childish. do you know what time it is? where are you? -why are you yelling? i'm at your room. what? my room? are you playing a joke on me? -why is your wall plastered with so many awards? it's tasteless. you think you're the only one with awards? awards? are you at my house? -why are you over there? to look at paintings. see some art during the day, some more at night... there's lot in this glass jar. did you make it? -why would i make that? hye-won made that for me. for my middle-school graduation day. oh i see. there's a picture here. -where'd you go to take this? what's up with the shorts you're wearing? and what's going on with your hair? that was taken in grade school that was the fashion back then. -and maybe your hair was even funnier? there's another picture... looks like a girl... but her hair is all cut... oh, that must be our young-hyun. -she's my younger sister. you have a sister? she's not around any more. she went away. she had a terminal disease... -she'd get two shots everyday... but she never cried... our father would tell her that if she cried she won't get better. and so she never cried... not even once... -but she wouldn't get better. why would my father be like that? when he can't take care of her. why would he tell her not to cry? when it's ok to cry. -when she was just a child... couldn't take care of her... your father too... was probably crying to himself. our father has probably never cried. he went a different way. -hye-won cries all the time. afraid our grandmom, afraid of the dark she was even afraid of tree sillouettes. when a nine year old boy or girl cries and you're trying to have them stop crying, do you know what they need most? -ice cream. are you asleep? no, i'm not. then why aren't you saying anything? what can i say? -should i go to pick you up? huh? because.. you have to make breakfast, clean and do the laundry... what am i supposed to eat tommorow morning? don't talk about food? -is food all you can talk about with me? i must really be a rice bowl to you. bye! some guy liked some girl for a long time. but this girl was leaving to some place. -so the guy wanted to propose to the girl before she'd leave. i'd like it if you didn't leave. can't you stay by my side? are you throwing this away? yes. -why throw this away? tell me. if you like me, confess to me here and now. i like you a lot... han ji-eun. -i'm back. good going eating 'dog' food. it's mixed rice. gently, it hurts! i have to hit hard so it can go down. -why are your arms so long? but why did you go to my house? did grandmom tell you to go? why do you want to know? we said we'd keep out of each other's ways. -i was thinking about it.. we should tell each other what we do that much wouldn't be meddling in anyway. i don't want to and why so fickle? let's just out of our lives. -no way. it's up to me. from now, tell me when and where you're going. that hurts. you did that on purpose, right? -look at this. what's this? this is an employer/employee schedule. employ..? we're bound by contract but agreed to live seperate lives, it's probably best to keep out each other's way. -what are you talking about? so if it's possible, instead of bumping into each other, that we keep to each other's privacies. that's what you wanted as well, isn't it? sure. yes, i desired just that from the start. -i ask you to stay in your room yet you're always hanging around, yapping away and bothering a man. you can't imagine how vexed i was. right, so you won't have this problem from now on. from 10pm to 5 am, i'll be using the livingroom, since i have to work too during the day, when you're out, i'll come out and do the housecleaning. -i'll have dinner prepared for you at the set time. you need only serve yourself. if you have something to tell me, write a note on the fridge. the details are in the chart. if we stick to it, we won't ever have to interfere with each other again. -until the next time, then. take care. until the next time, take care? han ji-eun, come out. come out. -messages go on the fridge. messages go on the fridge. let's talk. yes? let's talk. -so stick it on the fridge. let's talk for a bit. come out you chicken! ok, what? what do you want? -the condition of the house is a mess. come out and clean it. so, write a note on the fridge and i will see to it later.. later? what later? -you know how i am about mess. i can't be bothered by your schedule so come out and clean everything. you missed a spot. clean it good! you know about the opening for the movie today, right? -make sure you make it there by 3. why aren't you answering? i can't go. why? why not? -i'll post the reason for it on the fridge. don't talk about the fridge again! what's gotten into her? food poisoning perhaps? you use up a lot of electricity at night. -work during the day from now on. got it? hey, we agreed that i'd use this place over night. you think you can go somewhere else? don't want to. -it's my prerogative. do you get inspiration sitting there? a writer needs talent first of all. it bothers me to see someone with little talent working away like that. so instead of all that, why not give it a rest and sleep? -you have to wake early and make breakfast, don't you? stop troubling yourself and sleep. if we're born a chicken then let's live like one, ok? our chicken takes a lot. even after all that... -what happened to this? i turned it off. it should be turned off when not in use. it wastes electricity. but.. did you save my work? -save? oh, save. but how is that done? couldn't i just turn it off? oh no. -it seems all gone. it's all gone? this is awful. you're laughing? how could you laugh? -is doing this to me fun? does it make you happy? not enough to make me happy, but there is some fun in it. it's fun? you're a psycho with a prince complex bastard. -sure, rant all you want. i hate you more than anything in the world. you're no better than a roach, bastard! here it is. i saved it, ok? -am i dumb like you? but you know, people need to communicate, what can they do through a fridge? what's with you? it was a joke. hey, wanna eat ice cream? -ice cream? we have ice cream, don't we? i hate ice cream the most of all! i'm not going to eat it, i don't want to it eat it! papa bear is fat. -momma bear is slender. baby bear is too cute. they all do well. one more. a bear family of four live in a house -grandma bear, papa bear, momma bear...baby bear. grandma bear is... frightening. papa bear is fat. momma bear is slender. -baby bear is too cute. your face is bloated from yesterday. don't be late for the press opening. free admission? free? -you have to pay. no discount? is this a bargaining market? i'm off. he's at a conference right now. -he says he'll read over your work and see you at another time. i see. then... good bye. if they've known each other since nine, besides eating ice cream what else can there be? -if they didn't ride bikes or go to amazing land, that would be nice. might young-jae have taught kang hye-won how to ride bicycles? i'm the one who taught her how to ride bikes, though. really? that's a relief. -what's a relief? there's something... what idiots! you ok? vice president! -ji-eun, pardon me. you're here too? for company employees of course. hyung (brother), told me to give you this. "hyung"? -yeah, brother young-jae. yeah, that's what i want to call him from now on. thinking about it, working from the bottom would be a good learning experience for the management company. that's right and that way i can pay you back as soon as possible. that's good, i'm glad. -work hard and live with some decency. and think about your baby. that's the point. shin dong-wook. what are you doing there? -go down to the lobby. i'm off. without me, nothing gets done. honey, work hard! bye. -but who is that? he's gorgeous. who? that's yoo min-hyuk, the guy i work for. but he seems to be interested in you. -interested? yeah, he keeps looking and smiling at you. he's always smiling. don't be like that and do well, looks like he's rich too. you'll be divorcing eventually. -you should prepare things out. quiet! i told you to be careful, didn't i? if this gets out i can't get full house. sorry, it slipped. -but not to worry, no one heard a thing. but be careful anyway. ok, i'm sorry. but anyway, think about it. he seems to like you, it'll be a pity if you let this go. -shut up! i told you not to talk about it. i'm doing this for your sake. i'll hook it up for you. what? -it's because i feel guilty, you getting into a contract with lee young-jae and all. that's enough so you just mind your own business. that vixen is here again. wha.. vixen? hee-jin, you go in first. -hey, hello. hi. i'd like a word with you. what have you to say? about the ring, why did you hide it? -why'd you say you didn't have it? i hid nothing. it was lost and found. also, young-jae doesn't seem to think much of it. what? -right... think whatever you want. but when you don't even like young-jae why do you keep making things difficult for him? i'm making things difficult for him? always calling and calling on him, is he a servant to you? when you have guy you like. -why don't you call him instead? so why do you bother young-jae, when you don't even like him? while i'm being polite, please leave him alone. no. i don't think i can do that. -you're asking too much, i think. shall we wager on this? who wins his affections first? you didn't wear this. thanks. -what are you doing after this? well, perhaps i'm free? really? then wanna go somewhere with me? where? -it's a secret. ji-eun's here. is it ok if she comes along? well... nope, no can do. -. thank you for coming out. we worked diligently for this film. i wish that you would enjoy it and have fun. but i don't have the confidence. -where was han ji-eun? didn't she come? she was here before, don't see around now. call her then. she's not picking up. -let's go. did you bring your car? i did but let's take your car. ok. goodbye, then. -you were here earlier, so what happened? i went to see someone. who? would you know if i told you? just someone i know. -but did you watch the movie? what's wrong with you? so what's the point of coming out? that's just the way it happened, sorry. but from those who've seen it, i hear it wasn't so fun anyway. -it was boring? who said that? everyone. if you're all done, then let's go home. but right now, hye-won and i have somewhere to go. -ask someone to drive you home. but where are you going? see you later at home. young-jae! what? -don't go. what? if you, if you leave now no dinner for you! you eat it. i'll have had dinner so don't worry about it. -dong-wook? ji-eun is still there so.. drive her home and get her some dinner. alright, bye. where are we going to right now? -it's been a while. back then, i thought you'd become a doctor like your father. but you've become a famous actor. how extremely strange. do you remember? -was it in the the third grade? my birthday when you kissed me over here. i don't recall... who doesn't remember? you kissed me, and i got pissed off, -and then'd go "sorry, sorry, i'll buy ice cream." didn't you? didn't you! young-jae, look, look! want some ice cream? -you know what my dream was during elementary school? you wanted to become a designer after your mother, no? that's what i wrote down. but really... i wanted... -what? that's why i'd wonder about the person i'd marry. funny, huh? but me... i'm probably more laughable than before... -always self-centered... and rambling on about the weirdest things... about calling you everyday and bothering you... i know it's not something i should do. but still.. but if i don't have you with me... -i think i'd suffer a lot. what's up with you? is something the matter? no. just that... -just because i'm sorry. i'm saying i'm sorry. what's up? something wrong? where did you two go? -huh? the grade school we went to back in the day. was i a good student back then? so strange. or is it because i'm grown up now? -but is there nothing wrong? are you ok? want some ice cream? didn't i tell you not to talk about ice cream? it bothers me. -why the outburst? from now on, buy me roses. i don't like ice cream, i like flowers. roses are expensive. buy them anyway. -please don't laugh. it's my mind, i can't laugh too? if you laugh... i'll get used to it. when someone protects someone else, -that means he likes that person, right? you can protect kang hye-won. because i'll be protecting you. what? i... -lee young-jae think i'm falling in love with you... ()...() ( ' - ') (")(") subs by zdoon @ d-addicts you don't need to buy flowers to come over. but you seem to like flowers. -the house is.. a bit like this. i know. we finally decided on a director. it seems it'll be director lee hye-soong. oh really? -that's great. for the main actor, how's kang joo-won? it'd be expensive but he's popular and that's good. why? you don't like him? -kang joo-won is popular, and he's good-looking but it'd be better if the main actor were taller. taller? yes. when the female lead has her window shut, the male lead should be able to reach the top of it and wipe. so the height would matter. -how tall? ... about lee young-jae's height? can't we cast lee young-jae for the lead? perhaps, young-jae wouldn't want to? let's go out. -i'll buy you something to eat. does it ever get boring living in that huge house by yourself? no, it's fine. i'm used to it anyway. it's safe. -wow, how courageous. of course. life shouldn't be taken so lightly, you know. but this is great. it's expensive but it tastes good. -like now, eating together, drinking tea together ...talking together, and laughing together. what do you think of that? like, for everyday? everyday? i'd... -love to see you everyday. i'm actually proposing to you now. i mean... it's hasn't been long since i've divorced. also, it's still kind of like that... then i'll wait for you. -because of the divorce, young-jae's popularity has been hit big. there isn't much of a schedule for him. i'm not sure if he's up for anything anyway. then... can you arrange a meeting with him? -but young-jae's not in seoul. is he not in korea? he is in korea. but he absolutely doesn't want to be disturbed. i'm going to insist on getting the contract as i want it. -so please have the casting done as stated. daewoo says they'll do what we ask, but if he wants to come back, then he can't afford to miss this opportunity. that's true but young-jae has to come down and make his case. did you call for me? -come in. go to young-jae tomorrow. to young-jae? go there and tell him i want to see him. but he's not going to want to come down. -last time he refused. if he doesn't comply, tie him up, or think of something, but bring him. what are you doing here? really, why are you being this way? do you really want to become a monk? -what news? i told you not to come here. i know but the boss says it's extremely important and that you should come down. i'm not going down, i already told you. if you keep pestering me like this, i'll have to disappear to another place. -if you're done, then go. but, actually, it's not that. aren't you curious about how ji-eun's doing? ji-eun's actually sick right now. where? -how much? where she's sick...her head hurts and when she coughs... if she's sick or not, that's not my business anymore, is it? go now. if ji-eun's so sick, what's min-hyuk doing? -did he not go to the hospital? she needs porridge. porridge? what porridge? it turns out min-hyuk is a rotten guy. -what? why? he's a complete womanizer. he covets what he doesn't have, and when ji-eun was with you he was really good to her, but when you left, ji-eun must have gotten boring to him. now, ji-eun feels cheated and betrayed and doesn't want to see anyone. -no matter what. so that's why you should leave together with me. come on, let's go. hi ji-eun! you again? -i told you not to come so why are you here? come in. well, since there's only one video store in our area, if we set one up, we need only sit and the money will roll in. has dong-wook gotten to you? what kind of idea is that? -in just a little bit, our baby will be around. but with dong-wook's current pay, we couldn't even afford baby's milk. so, friend, invest in us just a little. where would i have money? well, when you get the movie, you'll have a lot of money. -the screenplay? that doesn't come out to a lot. even without that, you have min-hyuk. hey, i told you not to talk about that time.. you should forget young-jae already. -what's left of that washed-up failure? what? why are you talking about young-jae at all? also, who's a failure? young-jae will be fine in no time. -do well? who? he's gone to a mountain somewhere and is not coming down. what? dong-wook told me not to say anything. -when young-jae's grandmom fell sick, he didn't come down even then. grandmom is ill? because of lee young-jae, they say she fell ill and is near dying now. grandmom. i'm sorry. -i'm truly sorry. you can't be ill. i was wrong. grandmom, get up. i was wrong. -hello? grandmother, is your health better? are you really better now? would i be better? do i look better to you? -i'm sorry, i'm really sorry. because of you, young-jae and his father may never talk to each other again. young-jae did nothing wrong. it was all my fault. what gives you the right to cry? -put a stop to it now. i'm also trying not to, but the tears keep coming out... i apologize, grandmother. mom, let's stop this now. alright. -then do you truly understand you were wrong? yes. in that case, make amends between young-jae and his father. then i'll forgive you. go now. -excuse... hello. oh, ji-eun. hello. tell him to stop being foolish and reconcile with his father. -can't you tell this to young-jae? would he listen to me? instead of that, why don't you tell him? you should go meet him...tell him to stop being a fool and come back. i can't see him anymore. -why? also... all that's happened to young-jae is my fault. how is it your fault? don't say that. -no, i've wronged him so much. dust... you took off the ring... what is this mess? are you cleaning or what? -clean it now. the dust... when did you get here? a little while ago. but how's a sick person shooting around like this? -are you all better now? see, that's why i tried to get you to work out in the mornings. you stopped exercising, didn't you? you really don't listen. how is that important now? -besides, where were you all that time? i was at cholle. received good teachings, meditated a lot... i've been at peace and i believe i've matured. don't i seem transformed? -they say when grandmom was sick you didn't go to down to see her. she wasn't sick. they were just trying to ruse me back home. then are you going to stay like that with your father? don't be like that. -apologize to him, ask for forgiveness. i'll take care of that so don't worry about it. if you don't want me to worry then why'd you come here? why else would i come? this is my house. -what did you say? i decided i'll be living here from now on. open up! what are you doing? open up! -not opening? what are you doing? i'm returning the favor from when you kicked me out. why? don't knock again. -knock it and you're dead! unbelievable. jerk! where are you? if you're not gone and hiding somewhere, you're dead -if you were leaving, then why didn't you really leave before? or at least you could have said goodbye. it's always his way. wake up, young-jae! wake up! -a person's sleeping, what do you want? how did you get in? the kitchen. through the broken window there. why? -it's too cold to sleep outside and i can catch a cold and all the mosquito bites, look at this. the room is vacant, so i came in to sleep. but my room is the same, it hasn't changed a bit. you're staring again. why? -what are you gonna do? what's wrong? ji-eun! what's wrong? hey, stop already. -i apologized. is going to sleep in my room, so exasperating for you? i'm not crying because of that. then why? why are you crying? -i... i thought without saying anything you left what? i can't hear you. what again? -alright! it's alright so go to sleep already. why yell? scared the crap out of me. scared me. -so, i'm not asking you to give back the house. until i've found a place of my own, i'd like to stay here. till then can't you let me stay for a while? no. what? -ji-eun, that's too wicked. do you hate me being here so much? do you want to kick me out that much? am i that obnoxious to you? that's not the reason. -then what? why are you acting like this? lee young-jae, just go to your father and beg for forgiveness. no matter how much i want to see grandmom, mother, father, -i can't see them anymore. so what about you? you can see them anytime, and if you do wrong, they can forgive you in no time. that's too unfair. -i hate you so much i can die, for real! you may come in. it's amazing you've come to see me. so, ok. what do you want? -i'm in the wrong. just this once, forgive me. i did wrong, please forgive me. are you saying that because you truly feel sorry? no. -to tell the truth, no. what? i'm not, but ji-eun...told me to beg you. so that's what i'm doing. from the beginning, it was me who lied and everything else. -so... ji-eun... forgive her. i'm begging you, father. do you really love her? if you really love her, then should have really married her. -so why that ridiculous marriage? at that time, i didn't know i'd love her so much. so what are you going to do? will marry her for real? -will you? yes. i will marry her. i don't want to lose her again. working is good but.. -but at least clean up. this place is a mess. leave it, it's my way. since morning where've you been without telling me? exercising. -who exercises all day? you must love that exercising, makes no sense. huh? what? over the weekend, dong-wook will be bringing all my clothes here. -you're not gonna leave this house? i don't need to leave anymore. according to who? you said that if i begged my father, i wouldn't have to leave. you met your father? -yes. that's great. what did your father say? i was asking for forgiveness, and he started hitting me again. you got beat again? -where? my head hurts, my face hurts, my arms... let me see. where? here. -does it hurt a lot? but there are no bruises. what? tomorrow night, let's go out and eat. i'll buy you something good. -what's the occasion? i promised you, i'd buy you dinner. i also have something to say to you. if you have something to say, tell me now. what kind of money does a failed actor have for that? -what? you have no commercials so be smarter with your money. it's not like before anymore. you haven't dined yet, right? then will you wait for a few? -i'm on my way there now. i'm about to arrive. so you're already here? actually... now... young-jae is over here. -young-jae is over there? i see. uh no. i needed to see him anyway, so this is better. i'll see you soon. -who was that? yoo min-hyuk. hyung? you still go out with him? do you still go out with him? -why are you yelling? that's right, i am. why? hey. stay seated. -come inside. it's been a long time. ji-eun, you said you love spaghetti. so i wanted to make some for you. do you make it well? -is it good? you'll find out soon if it is. it looks tasty. han ji-eun! i dislike spaghetti so make rice. -we don't have any. what? you want to eat ramen then? you know i don't eat ramen! then there's nothing for you. -do we have chajang ramen? move. that's my seat. just sit anywhere. this is too good! -yeah? i'm glad. i'll make it for you again. so where the heck were you hiding? not doing anymore movies? -well. in a while, i probably will be. actually... there is a role in the works for you. what do you think? -you want to do it? why me of all people? you have a lot of money. there are lot of great actors. but then... we want to accommodate the writer. -writer? who's the writer? miss han ji-eun. what? want to do it together? -no. that's ok. i don't do just any movie. read the script first and decide. that's alright. -why would i read that? your writing would flop, anyway. what if it's good? what are you going to do? instead of regretting it later, do it when it's offered to you. -no, i won't regret a thing. so you do your own bird work. what would a bird actor know about good movies anyway? do whatever you want, live however you want. that's right so you shouldn't care. -i don't. so don't, exactly. who are you yelling at? you two! let's talk about this later. -and young-jae, you can't be here for long. i'll find an apartment for you. you'll be able to move out this weekend. what's it to you that you'd find a place for me? just... -you staying with my woman makes me uncomfortable. he doesn't even read it. wait till this succeeds, you're so dead. read the script and think about it again. it'll suit you. -but i don't like those movies. you may not like it, but this is work. to earn a living, you'll have no choice. people with money love it even more. i proposed to han ji-eun. -oh i see. i told ji-eun. she should finally come to me. what did she say? it hasn't been long since the divorce. -so she's waiting and thinking about it. if you've let her go then just leave. now that you're back, would you have her go through again what she did the last time? when you've let her go, she'll be able to rest with me. -goodbye! what? did something happen? with what? instead of nagging a guy, go up and sleep. -but did you really see your father and apologize? did he say that he'd forgive you? yeah. but why? then let's go to ilsan tomorrow. -hey, why would you go there? to thank them for forgiving us, to have dinner with family and to sing three bears, of course. yes? but who are you? why would you go to our house and have dinner? -also, family? whose family? they're... not your family. we divorced, didn't we? -did you forget that? i'm leaving tomorrow. why so sudden? you refused to leave before. you're...getting married to min-hyuk, i've heard.. -that... i thought min-hyuk abandoned you and you know how worried i was? min-hyuk... likes you a lot. frankly, when you said you were going to be with min-hyuk, -i was miserable and my pride was hurt. but doesn't this work out better for you? min-hyuk is rich, he's talented. he's good-looking. yet he likes someone as stubborn and dumb as you, and someone as messy as you. -i really don't understand that. at some point, i'm not sure if his parents will give you a hard time. but since they're always busy, they won't be able to taunt you as much, like grandmom. -so don't worry too much. and you become friends with people fast anyway. don't worry too much. you'll do well. han ji-eun, -don't be sick, and be happy. why does a chicken sleep so much? be sure to exercise in the mornings. young-jae left today. really? -where'd he say he was going? i don't know. maybe to a mountain, maybe to the ocean. he must have left in the morning while i was asleep. at least he should have said goodbye. -isn't he a strange man? you can see him next time. but when's the next time? and how can i wait till then? you see, when young-jae isn't around, i'm always waiting for him. -even when i know he's not coming, i'm still waiting. i mean, when i do see him again, it's not even that great. but even so, when he's not by my side, it doesn't feel right. -i shouldn't wait. it takes up so much of my feelings, and i keep thinking of it, and i keep... waiting for him. but... waiting for someone is quite a tiring thing. that's why... you shouldn't wait for me anymore. -ji-eun... i'm sorry... i should have told you not to wait for me from the start. but coming here and telling you only now... i'm really sorry. -didn't you leave this morning? no... i forgot a few things, have to say a few things, and i have a few things to give to you too. what did you forget? -i said i wouldn't lose you again, and yet why.... i've lost you now, i don't know. because i feel wronged. because i'm angry, so now... -i can't take it anymore. huh? as you said, i'm the guy who always hurts you and can't protect you. as you said, -i don't know how to love someone. and i don't know how to express it. and making you happy... i don't know about that either. so i thought about it. -since i don't know how, whatever you order me to do, ...and teach, i'll do it all. if you tell me to wait, i'll wait. if you tell me to sing, i'll sing. tell me to dance and i'll dance. -if you ask me for flowers, i'll buy you flowers. i'll do anything you ask, i'll do anything you want. so, han ji-eun, ji-euna... -wear this. what is this? can't you see? it's a ring. let's get married. -will you marry me? ()...() ( ' - ') (")(") wow! it's the new product from ji mi joo. but, who would ... -wear shoes into someone else's living room? it looks like he redid the floors. oh? oh. who? -ji... ji... jin that's right. international star jin se ryeong. -hey! jang man! did you or did you not see? you saw everything, right? i missed you. -i'm sorry. are you angry because i came back so late? sorry. i'm so sorry. who did you say came? -it's jin se ryeong. episode8 part 1. is it that jin se ryeong? yes. international star, jin se ryeong. -her face is this small. she is absolutely beautiful. so, what did she say to tae ik? she just hugged him american style. "i missed you." -she said that. she is crazy. what about tae ik? what did he say? i don't know. -i just left right away. but, what is the relationship between the two of them? she even knew the password number to the door lock. ah! she was in our company previously. -ah! really? then did she live here with you? yes... for a short while. even so, how can she hug him like that? -it's so scandalous. they used to date. jin se ryeong is tae ik's first love. oh, that's right. you said that chaton's feed ran out. -i will bring it right back. yeah. jin se ryeong returned? ha! lee tae ik, what do you do now? -anyway, you eat really luxuriously. the interior is still the same. get out. you still use the bedroom on the 2nd floor, don't you? i should take a look at your room. -to see if anything has changed. i said get out of my house. i understand that you are glad to see me because it's been a long time. but let go. it hurts. -i will be staying here for some time. what?

to prevent this, drawing heavy curtains on the window... curtain? -reducing stress and meditation, etc. are useful in ameliorating sleepwalking. meditationhealingmusic that comforts the mind. manok,stillno? manok,stillno? -jang man ok, why have you been like that since earlier? is something there? what? ah! a cat! -i am raising a cat in the basement. it is time to feed it. cat? i completely adore kitties. uh! -wait a moment, just a moment! oh! wait a moment! won kang hwi? won kang hwi? -why are you here? that is... you see... no way... you've been hiding in there all this time? -what is this? as you can see. i did it. i told him to stay here. i did that. -wow! so... won kang hwi, who got ousted and disappeared without a trace, was hiding in the basement of full house? moreover, the person who kept him in hiding was lee tae ik's fiancée? this is absolutely a scoop! -why are you staring at me? i didn't hide him. jin se ryeong, i don't think it is your place to interfere. i found you! -if it weren't for me, you would have kept hiding in there. like a stray cat. get out! starting with you! i have something to find. -and, until i find that ... no matter what havoc you create, i will not leave here. what is it that you are looking for? what is that great thing that you are looking for? how could you fool me completely? -and hide in my house like a stray cat? because i need to prove my innocence! no one is interested in the truth. so what else can i do? i have to come forward and to personally reveal it! -although there is no way that you would have feelings like that, but consider the loyalty of being on the same team for 5 years and bear with me for a few days. when this leg gets better, i will find it and leave immediately. lee tae ik! if you get caught by i j, you know it is the end, don't you? -whatever it is, find it and leave my house in a week's time. how can you not get caught? the president will be coming back and forth. jin se ryeong! yes? -if you want to keep staying in this house, it will be good to keep that mouth shut. if not, you will be the first to leave. lee tae ik, for not telling you earlier, i'm sorr... what to do? -i am sorry. this is the song for your solo album. the guide song will come out soon, so listen to it once. you will like it. the main concept is to concentrate on the real value of lee tae ik as a solo artist. -we will make it neat without anything being superfluous. i still don't have any thoughts of doing it. what? i have no thoughts on going solo. what about kang hwi? -why are you talking about a guy who caused trouble and escaped abroad? did he... really go abroad? the whole company is focused on your solo album now. don't be insolent and prepare as i tell you to. as you tell me to? -do you also speak like that to jin se ryeong? ah! is that what you wanted to say to me? if you are doing this because of jin se ryeong... no, i have no interest. -i don't care what you do with jin se ryeong. the annex is my space! no one can enter without my permission. if you guys hadn't caused trouble, i... wouldn't have had to over-exert myself and recruit se ryeong. there was no reason to bring jin se ryeong and make our finances stagger! -so? you are going to keep jin se ryeong at the annex? she and i... when you knew full well what our relationship was? the construction at the main house will be over soon. -you! you said it with your own mouth. that you have no interest in her. why do you bother about someone for whom you have no interest? at the longest, it will be one week. -you will start recording as soon as it is ready. when did you come? i should have come with you. yes, i understand. hyung-nim, you came out already? -did you hear the news, hyung-nim? bum soo hyung-nim will be jin se ryeong's road manager. road manager? bum soo hyung-nim said that he would never be in charge of an actress. but the president ordered it. -the managers are creating havoc now. how can bum soo hyung-nim be a road manager at his age? i don't know what, on earth, the president is thinking. it is a film festival held by kaga and hyun. the scale is small, but a lot of international directors are coming. -it won't be bad to show your face there. i don't want to go alone because it is boring. i will think about it, if you let tae ik go with me. tae ik can't. he needs to prepare his solo album. -he would not want it either. it's difficult. if it was easy, i would do it on my own. i will think about it. then i will know that i am going with tae ik. -i told senior manager hwang to be waiting for you. he will be in his office. but this engagement, did tae ik really do it because he wanted to? why would you say that? that is... -because i know tae ik's style very well. it's just talk among ourselves, but that woman is really a no. it's talk among ourselves, but no one knows what goes on between a man and a woman except for the parties involved. ah! you should know that better, se ryeong. -i am not even a domestic assistant! is it everything if they are stars? manok,if youaren'tbusy , come to the basement. jangman! the moisturizer i bought in switzerland disappeared. -have you seen it? jangmanok ,iamdone intheshower . clean it up, please. these guys, seriously! you crazy! -what are you doing?

which you are plucking out to make a vegetable garden, cost? so what if they cost a lot? you can't even eat them. -i am going to pluck them all out and plant some vegetables. what? do you have a problem? vegetables? yes, vegetables! -you said you like organic vegetables. wait and see. i will just... grow them well without any pesticide and put them on the table. then the food expense will decrease completely. ah! -food expenses... do you want to try? it helps totally relieve your stress. it is also fun to do. never mind. -continue what you were doing. aigo! aigo! my back! ah! -don't be like that. do the rest, lee tae ik? why should i? why do you think? this will all go into your mouth. -here! here! i don't do things like this! try it once! like this, like this. -it is so much fun! like this, like this. i said i'm not doing it. let's try it together. like this. -really! i said that i'm not doing it. it gets rid of your stress completely! tae ik! aren't you in?

about kang hwi-nim. i am sorry for not telling you in advance. -i couldn't help it. you were really upset, weren't you? what about sleepwalking? sleepwalking? ah! -i don't do that. once i fall asleep, i can't tell even if somebody carries me. true... you slept without stiring then. pardon? -there is something like that. anyway, it's fine if you don't sleepwalk. sleepwalking is scary. but... you know... -you are really cowardly! what? hey! hey! what is this? -you didn't dig here at all! meticulously... look carefully and dig! wow! you are good at it! -wow! wow! ahjussi! to the right on top of the stairs on the second floor. be careful. -be careful that the mirror doesn't crack! yes. what are you doing? i bought some furniture. i have a good personality so i bear things well. -i can't live in your room that's like a storage. storage? even if i live for a day, i need to live in a proper place. it won't do because my skin is becoming bad. ahjussi, the second floor! -she slept well all night long. what is this? who said you can use the second floor as you wish? bring the furniture down immediately! sorry. -i can't do that. what? ! if you have a problem, speak with the president. i already finished the agreement to do as i please. -the second floor, the second floor! hey! jin se ryeong is in the room next to tae ik's? yes. she put furniture in as she pleases. -her personality is like that. she does everything as she pleases. but, i felt this from earlier... i don't think you are on good terms with jin se ryeong. i... don't like people who are like watermelons. -watermelon? they are green on the outside, and red in the inside. moreover, they have seeds which are cumbersome. i don't like her! i don't! -i... someone like man ok... man ok, get up! what? i like someone whose outside and inside are white. -what is this?

-whataboutme ? aren't you curious about me? pardon? wonderful work on the movie. congratulations. -thank you. what are you doing here? lee young-jae just announced his engagement. hey, hello? how can you be so cruel? -you caused this, so you tell me how to solve it. because of your scandal i'm stressed out like crazy, after this, it's b movies for you. marriage all of sudden? do you know how important this time is for you? -say something, man. think on the bright side, at least there won't be any more scandals. i'm setting up a press conference next tuesday. wipe all the water off the sink after you're done. -what now? let's talk for a moment, lee young-jae. talk about what? about what? are you asking because you don't know? -what? shouldn't you have something to say? consider what happen earlier consider what happen earlier, you should have something to say. i'm not a person who does whatever you want. -do i look easy to you? let's get married. i'll hire you as my wife. have you lost your mind? why would i marry you? -i don't like you. i can't stand you. you're loud and dirty, and i don't like you either. right, so how can we get married? are you on drugs? -in anycase, it'll be easier when we divorce. divorce? so do you intend to live with me the rest of your life? i'm sick of all the scandals and girls hanging around me. i'll pay you a salary -and give you alimony when we get divorced. he's totally out of his mind. oh, i'll give you this house. think it over carefully and decide. this is a contract marriage after all -so we'll need a contract. one, we will respect each other's privacy. two, we won't demand physical intimacy. three, the length of the marriage doesn't exceed 6 months. four, upon divorce the house owner's name reverts to han ji-eun. -any objections? addendum, if this arrangement is revealed to a third party, ..it will become null and void, and the responsible party shall issue appropriate alimony. strange? it's strange, right? -it's like a disguise. why? she looks fine. let's go! it's said you first met in an airplane. -can you elaborate on that, please? we did first meet in an airplane. she looked so nervous i asked her if it was her first time she got extremely annoyed. -this question goes to han ji-eun. for a man adored by millions of women, what's do you think makes you different? well, i wouldn't know that either. it's probable she wouldn't know how lovable she is. -the marriage seems a little rushed. any particular reason? is it a shotgun wedding? no, it's nothing like that. i love this woman. -i wish to protect her from the hurt, from the pain. to take care of her always. lee young-jae is way too good for her. she's not pretty at all. have you seen her? -her short legs.. her.. they don't look good together at all. what a shame. how funny. -i may not have a model's body, but my legs aren't short. my legs are long! excuse.. hello! oh, hi. -i didn't greet you properly before. congratulations on your wedding. thank you very much. but, how did you two meet? i'm not sure myself. -when you see younjae's interview, you can find out. eh? i mean, since talking about it again is long, it's a long story. -i was a bit surprised too. he's never shown that much interest in anyone. yeah, i've noticed. he's really weird, right? but to have someone like that be so crazy about me, i guess you can call this a miracle of love. -i have to get my nails done too. lots of work to do. it seems i should be going then. then hope to see you again. so, how does it feel to get married before i do? -i do feel bad that you're giving up so early. what is that supposed to mean? you should have looked around a bit more before settling. you know hye-won's temperament. don't talk about her that way. -what do you know? seems i know her better than you do. who'd believe you were an honor student? i had hoped you'd stop this before it's too late. but i hope this is the right path for you. -i appreciate the advice, but you should look after your own life. congrats on the wedding, anyway! hun, look, look at this. what's the matter, what? look at this. -look, i said. what's in the paper? it says ji-eun is getting married. you don't have to do this anymore. we're saved! -we're back! who is it? han jiheun, congratulations! take it. we didn't want to come empty-handed. -hey, aren't you going to invite your friends in?

you didn't spend it all, did you? how much is left? i'm so sorry, ji-eun. -it seems all i can say to you is sorry. what? it's all because of the stock market. so i borrowed a little from a loan shark. you work for a bank and you borrowed money from a loan shark? -gangsters were after my neck because i wasn't paying them back. they said they would sell heejin off. our baby was growing and my life was going to end. then die, you jerk. -die. sorry, sorry. i am so sorry, ji-eun. you guys know that this house is all i have. how can you do this to me?

you said you wanted to visit around. -if you don't want to, then you don't. it'll be hot going out.. but then going into a a well air-conditioned place... that way it's refreshing and fun. then stay that way. -i'll be going out and having fun. i'll be back. get on. can't we just walk? it takes a while to the cabin. -i.. don't like bicycles. i'll be holding, so don't worry. wait wait! here we go. ok. -are you an idiot? what a complete bird brain. i'm not interested in riding bicycles. of course you're interested. why not?

did you let go? -i let go! i did it! i'm riding! did you see that? that wasn't so hard. -what is this? at times like this, you need to divert the fans' attention. so that they can forget about kang hwi's problem at once. it also suits your vocal color well. are you asking me to release a solo album now? -that was what you wanted. i'm letting you make the solo debut which you wanted so much. is there a problem? do you remember what you said to me in china? that you can't be on the same team with a jerk like him. -what i said in china! you know that is not what i meant! if that is not what you meant?

finding out who you are is an easy job for me. -bear this in mind! i will let this kind of prank slide by just once, but never twice. i will believe that this is the original. but if you even have one photo, it will only be safe for you if you burn it up. just because it is hard to make a living, it isn't right to be doing anything. -i'm telling you this because you are like a younger sibling... will he be okay all by himself?

that he'd go to hye-won? yes. i mean... -he says because he's happy when he's with me so he says that he thought he liked me a little, but that's not it. he has to go to hye-won. even more absurd is that if young-jae goes to hye-won, you know what happens? -scandal happens and it'll be hard for him to recover from it. even if he likes hye-won so much, why is he such an idiot? he's a complete bird brain. a chicken. -young-jae can't hurt her. i know... ever since nine. he promised to take care of her. who keeps promises made at 9 yo? he's completely stupid. -a chicken. young-jae's leaving you, is a good thing for you. there are going to be reports about you two. so... settling this as soon as possible is best. then... what about young-jae? -it'll be hard on him, but there's no choice about that. young-jae will realize this too. you home? oh, you weren't asleep. what's wrong? -are you drunk? yes, i drank a little. why? why'd you drink so much?

-what time is it now? didn't i tell you to have things ready by 7? i can be late too. i slept late. and now... you're all hungover. -before you said you wanted to go back to where we went for our honeymoon? would you go stay there? pretty soon there will be reports about us. do you want to relax over there? no. -i'll just stay here. why don't you want to go? you said reports will be coming out. i should be with you. but who are you? -why would you want to stay with me here? you're thinking too much of yourself. but i'm not who you think i am. huh? my temper is extremely awful. -i'm a jerk and a psycho king, you should know. of course i know, king of jerks. so stop having illusions about me. what illusions? i'm not a good person. -i'm selfish, i'm rotten. oh, so you knew? if you know then please fix it. i'm not playing jokes. i'll make you realize this for real and you'll run away. -seems like i've been too easy on you. but it's time to go spartan on you. what?

(her hat reads "koko" ie, chicken noises) he should be exposed to that. seriously, how can a person be so tormenting? -who says you can sit down like that? did you do all the work i ordered? the dishes? it's done already. if you're done, then clean the bath tub. -what are you doing? don't work here anymore. is this your computer? it's my computer. why are you being so childish? -childish? yes, exactly. why all of sudden? all of sudden? nonsense. -i'm always childish. i'm the most childish in the world. in the world, i'm the worst person. scrub it down. i am scrubbing. -this is regularly cleaned. it doesn't need to be scrubbed. the tub is already gleaming. you don't like the work? of course, i don't like it. -would i like it? if you don't, then get out. huh? run away. you can do that. -if i did, would you stand for it? you'd track me down and throw a fit. not anymore. if you leave i won't stop you. so run away. -run away from me. what? nothing. sitting here again. what the heck is wrong with you? -what's the problem? tell me about it. i'll solve it for you. you, you're my problem. why? -what the heck is wrong with you? what about me? why do you want to stay with me? i'm saying, you're annoying and i don't like you. so why do you keep hanging around and getting on my nerves? -but why are you so gloomy? why are you yelling? what have you just heard? why don't you understand? i told you. -it's you. you! why do you keep nagging me? from now on, don't say anything. got it? -i didn't want to say this, but it's becoming harder to get you cast. there are no cf offers, either. see what happens with another scandal. what are you going to do? you're not stupid. -what the hell is wrong with you really? i'll leave. i'm ordering you. no apartment. what did boss say? -that an apartment is out of the question? greetings! it's been a while. your movie was great. it's going well, i hear. -it seems ok. but yours isn't, what can we do? i quite enjoyed it. i don't understand why it's been taken down already. it makes me feel bad. -well, you know... oh, you know the cell phone ads you did? well, that's now mine. sorry. oh really? -that's great. instead, i'll buy you lunch sometime. sure. is soo-won here? come in... -see you again. we couldn't get the deal this time. soo-won is a hot item these days, they changed to him. that's what happened. hye-won. -i should ignore this. wait till that jerk comes in. so you prepared all this? sure, i told you before. i like doing this. -didn't i tell you that my dream was to be a good housewife? if there's something you wish to eat, tell me. i'll make anything for you. you like nengchae, don't you? should i make it next time? -it won't be as good as your mother's, but mine's good too. i don't eat nengchae anymore. why? i have a bad experience with it. no, this is delicious. -let's eat. it may be difficult now, but it'll be better eventually. so be strong. okay? sure. -did you have dinner? yeah. uh, it was with hye-won. her place. oh really. -she's an awesome cook. she made nengchae and it was extremely delicious. then... you should have called to say you were eating elsewhere, that's what we say we'd do. no... i won't be calling you like that anymore. -why not? those promises i made to you... they're nothing to me. from now on, don't wait for me. let's go out and exercise. for health. -go together! go slower! let's go together! you came up with the idea. how can you go ahead like that? -about you moving to an apartment, can't you reconsider that? what? if a scandal breaks out, it'll be hard for you. what's that to you? just tend to your own business. -i'm not meddling, i'm just worried. it seems because you're dumb you don't understand, but i'll tell you again. i really don't like you. everything i've said to you, all the promises, they're nothing to me. just words, just promises i made. -but to me... they mean nothing. just like you. if your promises mean nothing to you, then does that mean i don't have to keep mine? that's right. then... -i won't run with you in the morning. i won't clean or do laundry. i won't cook. fine. i won't be cooking, i said. -fine, don't do it. i also won't be calling, telling you about where i'll be, who i'll meet, why i'm late... don't tell me. i don't care, so do whatever you want. ok, i'll do whatever i want. -where you going? where would i be going? i won't tell you. that's what we agreed. i might be late, so go to sleep without me. -it's possible i won't come home tonight either. what? a phone call. pick up. oh, hye-won! -are you at home? what are you doing today? really? then can you come out? sure... it's fine. -yep... no schedule today. sure, let's. then i'll see you later. what are you doing? if you're gonna leave, then hurry and leeve. -if leave then hurry and leave? did you wait much? i just got here myself. sorry for calling all the time, even though you're busy. it's ok. -it's a date, anyway. this time you'll be buying, right? sure, since it's not expensive here. then i'll be buying next time. so ji-eun's story is being made into a movie? -yes, that's what's going on. but what's the story about? that's the writer's secret. how curious. can't you tell me? -i can't. you can see for yourself. you'll enjoy it. don't you know it? didn't ji-eun tell you? -well... i'm not really interested. a bird's story is like that anyway. bird author? what is that? -oh that. that's the writer's secret. are you dumb? there's food on your face. right there. -clean it. what's the matter with you? she wouldn't know, she's so thick. watch what you're saying. wouldn't i know her better than you? -she's thick. she doesn't listen, she's loud and messy, and yet she's stupid too. what makes you so perfect then? always talking nonsense and yelling. a fickle, king of jerks, psycho chump... -goodbye, then. goodbye. what are you thinking? i mean... thinking of another joke to tell. -did you think of one? well... you enjoy going on trips, right? hmm? oh, like going to shanghai? -traveling seems fun, though i haven't done a lot. it's fun. then want to go to venice with me? venice? in a while we'll be shooting a film in venice. -we'll films watch there and do some marketing. this can be a useful experience for you own movie too. what do you think? hmm? nothing. -you wanted to ask me something before? nothing. i think i know without asking. i'm going on a trip. to venice with min-hyuk. -you don't mind if i go, right? yes. it doesn't matter. go if you want. watch films, ride a ferry, go sight-seeing, and come back. -when..are..you going? wednesday. wednesday? so till i get back, try to take care of yourself. when you get back... -i won't be here, dummy. i'm leaving on wednesday also. i'm moving into an apartment. i'll be leaving now. have fun. -watch movies, do a lot of sight-seeing. you, too, take care and be healthy. when i get back i'll call you. no, don't. can you give me a ride to the airport? -don't want to. are you moving in today? what about the rest of your stuff? i only have clothes anyway. did you eat? -ji-eun, what would you like? what? what did you say? what do you want to eat? you called me ji-eun just now. -me? sorry. i was... ji-eun went on a trip today. i'm worried she'll get into an accident. -and over there because she's dumb she can't speak english. and also... she gets sick and catches cold easily. that's why... i'm worried whether she brought medicine with her.... so i... -if you're so worried, then don't let her go. tell her not to go. you should have told her not to go, you idiot. for her... everything is "aja aja, fighting!" -no matter what. she's naive like that. though she's weird like that... but being with her... makes me happy and makes feel better. i must be getting weird too. -no... is it because i've lived with her everyday? so maybe it's comfortable. i'm not too sure. actually, -i liked her a lot. but i'm always hurting her, and have only given her pain. i can't even take care of her. then don't hurt her anymore. -protect her from now. but she's left me already. then... this time around you should go to ji-eun. i...can't go to her. why? -because of me? i actually knew you were in love with ji-eun. but i pretended not to. because it was too hard on me. i pretended not to see how you were having a difficult time. -i didn't want to let go of your hand... i know i was wrong... but i didn't want to let go. since i was feeling so bad. hey, isn't being heartbroken twice pathetic? -i was wrong. my most best friend... i wronged you. i was wrong. i'm sorry. -i'm sorry, my friend. go now. i'm letting go of your hand. me? don't worry about me. -i'm kang hye-won. don't you know i am? strong kang hye-won? do you want ice cream? i'm grown up now. -i don't eat ice cream when i'm down. i drink alcohol. but she's gone already... she went away. but she'll be back. -just wait for her. sorry... no, it's ok. go inside. even when i was leaving, he'd be throwing a fit to the very end. -he's a real weirdo. if you want to see him, then you'll see him later. he told me not to call him. what a true jokester. exactly. -he's a jerk. i'm not gonna call either. should i hit him one time? i'm good at fighting. i am too. -young-jae can't beat me. ()...() ( ' - ') (")(") i can make a lot of jokes and when you're bored or when you're in pain or lonely, you can call me then, i'll be your friend. from now on, i'll like you. -young-jae must be in. would you like to come in for a while? no, thanks. today is late, some other time perhaps. would you like that? -then i'll invite you for lunch next time. sure, invite me. goodbye then. goodbye. you're back? -yes. sounded like a car outside. did min-hyuk drive you back? yeah, i asked if he wanted to come in but he said it's late so why did he want to see you? -is your synopsis really going to be made into a movie? nothing like that. actually, today was min-hyuk's birthday. really? how can a close friend not know his birthday? -isn't that too much? he wouldn't even know. normally, friends are supposed to find out for themselves. anyway, what about his birthday? he didn't seem to have family or friends around. -so we had dinner together. having a lot of money and being lonely don't seem to benefit in either way. so did you only eat? and so he also asked me to like him? are you alright? -so what did you say? what would i say? that i understand and that i would like him.. min-hyuk says that because i make him laugh being with me makes him happy. so i told him that i'd be his friend whenever he needs one. -he also says that you don't appreciate me. see, i might be a rice bowl to you but to others i can be a birthday present. present? did you eat dinner? i didn't, make dinner! -you haven't yet? to wait for me you haven't eaten yet? am i stupid that i would wait for you? it's because i was busy all day i couldn't eat. i was so busy all day, i'm just getting in myself. -make dinner, hurry. make dinner, hurry. he likes gifts, doesn't he? is a rice bowl a gift? cover shots for lee young-jae. -right this way. you're here hello. you've been working hard, i see. how was the movie's opening? -it's just going so far. it might have something to do with the poor publicity. support us from now. about ji-eun... is everything going fine with her? -her work isn't polished, but she has talent. it'll be good from now on. that's good. it was your birthday? sorry, i didn't know. -you have nothing to be sorry for. i don't know when's your birthday either. it's ok to see her. but don't you think you should tell me about it first. i can misunderstand too, after all. -misunderstand? han ji-eun is different from the girls you've been with. i'm not sure what you're doing but don't fool around. i thought you only had eyes for hye-won. -i guess i was wrong. what? i understand what you're saying, but i haven't fooled around. i don't want you to misunderstand, and i have nothing to apologize for. i don't go around deceiving people. -what? still, let me give you some advice. from now on, don't hesitate and get a good grip on yourself. also... don't underestimate me. -from now on, don't hesitate and get grip on yourself. also... don't underestimate me. what? about min-hyuk... -he's always been popular with the girls. so he treats all of them nicely. huh? if he treats you nice and all then you shouldn't think much of that. think much of what? -so i'm saying... you don't know guys well, that's what i'm saying and i'm telling you about min-hyuk. i really didn't want to say this, but min-hyuk is a womanizer. he's an expert. i don't know why you're doing what you're doing, but you're not being fair.. -are you distrustful of my friendship with min-hyuk? your friendship? we're friends who met as friends, if you keep thinking like this, it's not going to be comfortable. you dummy, that's what makes you naive. -so stubborn and you don't listen. what? dummy? alright, i take back dummy. but be careful and don't do anything you'll regret. -what's there to be careful about? everyone knows i'm your wife. why would yoo min-hyuk like me that way? does that make sense? well, it wouldn't make sense. -but it can turn out that way, is what i'm saying. you have a thing for making people happy... what? i'm saying... i never made a gift of a rice bowl, so act the right way, got it? -instead, some time let's invite yoo min-hyuk over. what? he doesn't have family here and seems lonely sometimes. he's always treating me and doing me favors, so inviting him would be nice. -you're funny. invitation? what for? and if he's doing favors it's for you, not for me. is this your house? -you think you can invite anyone... han ji-eun what now? i invited yoo min-hyuk over, so get things ready. you said you wanted to invite him. -but how am i supposed to prepare all of sudden? what else? just get ready. don't make neng-chae. seriously, don't make any. -get ready. he is weird and seriously fickle. how am i supposed to prepare things so soon? hello? is it you three-bear? -no it's not. it's ji-eun. is mother around? i need to ask her about something. i wanted to make some chobchae but don't know how. -how can you not know how to make that? i'll teach you so get over here. come now. how can't you know how to make this? that's why i wanted you to live here. -there wouldn't be a thing you wouldn't learn. (she lists ingredients) how much is 200 grams? about this much. you don't even know that? -do it like this. if you cut so thick, can anyone eat it? like this. what's wrong with this knife? a masterpiece. -you try it, grandmom. no, you try it first. what? does it taste strange? it's greasy and tastes a bit strange. -that can't be. if i make it like this, young-jae will have a fit. but we went by the instructions so... what? i mean, if you did exactly as i said, this wouldn't have happened.. -i don't know, you take care of it. if you're going to give instructions, do it right. what the heck happened? three-bear is about to go home. we have some kalbi beef prepared so you can take that. -for guests, kalbi is the best. why serve chobchae? what is this? you don't know how to make it either. you could have just told me, you know. -hurry, hop on! no way! i'm the only daughter of a rich family, i had never worked with my own hands. i had never dealt with want in my life, the maids did everything for me, i... -but chobchae? i who never had the chance to make it... now you'll probably laugh at me. why'd it have to be chobchae? grandmom, no. -i was wrong. it's not about that. it's that you won't look at me the same. what's going to happen now, what? oh my.. -i was wrong, grandmom, i was wrong. if you really feel sorry, then give us a song. ...a bear family of three, lives in a house. papa bear, momma bear, baby bear. papa bear is fat. -momma bear is slender. baby bear is too cute. stop it. if you don't want to do it then don't do it. are you trying to kill me? -it's not that. why do you always hate me? what's that? i like father, mother, grandmom, all of you. how come you always only dislike me? -when did i say i hated you? what's that? isn't that mother's voice? so is that guy always following you now? just for the time being. -it's annoying but i can't do anything about it. don't worry about it. then you won't be able to have dinner with me. dinner? well, that guy can come too. -but tonight we have a guest coming over to the house. i see. actually... min-hyuk is coming over. let's have dinner the next time. -sure, let's. will you be much longer? i'll be right out. you home? you're even right on time. -what are you doing? you know how to make kalbi stew? is this even edible? sure it is, i brought it over from ilsan. you went there today? -yeah, i went over to learn chobchae. so what did you learn? there wasn't enough time, so they just gave me some kalbi instead. right, that's better. would you have learned anyway? -well, that's that. listen to this. when i tap you like this. then do this. got it? -why should i do that? i'll tell you later, just do as your told. ok? helping out as a wife is hard. with all this effort, dong-wook's boss is dead. -it's hot. excuse me! sorry but can you move out the way? i'm sorry but the road is a bit narrow. oh, hello there. -don't you recognize me? you saw me at the theater, i'm ji-eun's friend. oh, hello. the air around the house is great, and it's quiet but the roads aren't great. but this car is great. -you must be ji-eun's best friend. we've friends since middle school, and she's known dong-wook since grade school. even when her parents passed away, we three hung out and cried. but ji-eun's has had a really sad life. her parents died in a car accident when she was in middle school -even she's been living alone in that house since then. so that house right now is ji-eun's house? that was the case before, but now it's lee young-jae's. well, ji-eun wouldn't have gotten into a contract marriage with that jerk, but dong-wook and i did wrong. what did you just say? -what about what i said? idiot. hurry, hurry. make it pretty. who cares? -i'll do it my way. that must be him. remember my cue. do it, ok? who is it? -hi. what brings you here? it's nothing. eat this. i'm off. -you're just gonna go? you're here. this is what we usually eat. sorry we couldn't prepare something special. since we haven't been married long, my wife isn't yet great at cooking. -you understand, right? no, this is delicious. that was prepared by our mother. i didn't make it. but she'll probably get better soon. -she is doing a lot to improve. isn't that right, honey? the house feels different from the way it looks from outside. isn't that right? you see, ji-eun's father, our father made and designed it himself. -isn't that right, honey? also, our wife has lived here since childhood, it's full of memories for her. isn't that right, honey? . even upstairs, our wife has a room, and rooms for our future children. -it's for the privacy. isn't that right, honey? we're thinking of having many children. two sons, two daughters. we don't want to be lonely. -what's wrong with you? what about? no wonder you invited him. how can a person be so childish? what's childish? -and why do you keep calling me honey? i feel like dying each time you say it. what? that's what married people do. our marriage photo. -came out nice, right? how great we look together. young-jae's nostrils came out really big, didn't they? how about a song? our wife sings really well. -you know that three bear song, right? oh and she dances very well too. but i think i have to be going now. so soon? i have work left. -have some fruit at least. that's ok. for inviting me, thank you very much. i'll be leaving. honey, what's wrong? -you kicked me... you said something kicked you inside and you're pregnant? what? hallelujah! our wife is pregnant! -i'm going to be a father! i love you, honey. that's not it. i'm going crazy with joy. our wife is pregnant. -i see. congratulations. thank you. goodbye. drive safely. -now he'll know whose rice bowl is whose. nothing. why all of sudden are you saying i'm pregnant? that's what happens when people get married. so what? -so what? i'm not even pregnant so why lie? it's going to be known sooner or later anyway. so just go "oh, i'm not" like that so what? exactly, so why should i be lying at all? -just because. why else? people who don't know will probably blame your jealousy on me. what? jealousy? -well it's true. shut up! don't talk nonsense, and wash the dishes. anyway, he's really weird, a true weirdo. miss kim. -it's me. sorry for calling late. can you find out something for me. is there a reason you're in a good mood? no, there isn't. -what are you doing today? later i'm taking my manuscript to min-hyuk. so when's that over? i wouldn't know. i only have signing to do, so eat dinner with me tonight. -oh, what's with you? what's with who? a pregnant wife has to eat well. so our baby will grow healthy. see you later. -..honey. leave the manuscript there and leave. just leave it and go? then goodbye. i really don't understand you. -huh? that's why i'm perturbed now. how will i think of you? please leave. we'll talk next time. -hello? hello? say something please. it's me, hye-won. can you see me for a while? -it was your birthday, right? it's not much. it's a necktie pin. thank you. to give this to you or not... -i hesitated a lot. i like you a lot. hye-won no. today hear me out first. -it seems you're always the one talking and i'm listening. i'll be the one talking today. i... i thought about it. i wondered but it's not because of vanity or my greed -that i like you. but it's because i really liked you. even when you don't like me the same way even when i know i get hurt just a little more... -just a little more and it'll be fine is what i'd believe and how i've waited. but... but i think i should stop this now. even though i like you a lot. but i kind of respect myself too. -so i want to take care of myself too. for all your kindness, and for all the gifts you'd send your warm greetings, and your worries for me and also... for all your jokes... -thank you for everything. i won't forget it. whenever i see your face, i think i can be happy. hello. your name? -so i hear min-hyuk went over to your house yesterday? did he say anything? about what? nothing. do you have a reservation? -this way please. when the other person gets here... i met min-hyuk today. i gave him a birthday present. and apologized for lately. -and thanked him. eat well, live well, is what i said. i did good, right? you did the right thing. i imagined a whole life with him... -living together in a house. cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry. making stew as it bubbles over from the warmth ...wondering when that person would come home, looking at the clock and waiting by supper time, he'd come home with an arm full of roses. you know, the way it is in television. -i did the right thing, right? you did good. you can forget the kang hye-won of now, and go back as the stronger kang hye-won. sure. i just need to get back to myself. -fighting! what? fighting! aja aja! aja aja? -i mean be strong. aja aja! fighting! can you get me more water please. hello? -it's me, get over here quickly. they're acting all strange. you have to get over and cover for this. shut up! why would i go there? -don't know. i'll be waiting here. so tell him he can come or not. where'd they go? are you asleep? -no. letting go of min-hyuk like this it's refreshing... why didn't i do this sooner? i'm really silly, huh? -no. you're ok. but why do i feel so tired? go in, relax. you'll feel better. -i'll leave in a little bit. if i go in i'll have to be alone again. ma'am, it's closing time now. i'm up early. -did you wait much yesterday? why do you always do that? do what? do you really think i'm stupid? that you can treat me like that? -what? why do you make people wait for you? you could have just left. did you wait there long, then? did i linger around? -you're the one doing that. if you like hye-won so much why can't you admit it? what? i know all about it. you like kang hye-won. -what? you can't even admit it, just like an idiot. you don't even know so don't say anything. what business is that of yours? why do i have to hear that from the likes of you? -the likes of me? that's right. who are you? are you my real wife? who are you that you think you can meddle in my life? -that's right. i have nothing to do with your life. but why do you make things so difficult for me? who's making it difficult? who? -me? how am i making it hard for you? you keep making me wait. how many times has it been already? yesterday i waited for you. -all the way till they told me to go out for closing, i waited for you. and at home i waited for you. when is young-jae coming home? it's impossible he's not coming home. he should be home soon home soon... -i spent the night wondering just that. why am i always the one waiting? did someone tell you to wait? i won't wait anymore. i'm not waiting for you anymore. -fine. don't wait. don't be so self righteous either and also you're nothing to me. do you know that? -yes, i know, i know i'm nothing to you. from now on you too are nothing to me. lee young-jae, right? let's talk here. i have a lot to say, though. -lend me money. what? you came so quick, you're fast. the rain came down so suddenly. i had nowhere else to call. -you did the right thing. also, i was anxious considering how cold you were the last time. i was cold? leave your manuscript there and go. han ji-eun, i don't know who you are. -please leave. we will talk another time. was i like that? do you know how strange that was for me? want to hear something funny?

i get sick just hearing his name. but couples make up quick... hurry up and write it! -who is that? lee young-jae? yes, that's me. who is this? i have a favor to ask of you. -tommorow, if you're not too busy, can you make the lunch?

-my baby is. hey, but this is weird. why'd they ask you to make the lunch? are they playing around with you? there's probably a reason. -hey, should we start a catering business? who'd buy such ugly rolls? ugly? it's pretty. dong-wook wouldn't let me do this because it's tiring. -ji-eun, you came out in the paper. wow, news gets around fast. "top star, lee young-jae in trouble" wait, that's enough, i'll take it from here. but in the newspaper.. -did you guys have a fight? it's nothing. don't worry about. why, can't i ask? really it's nothing. -after this, shall we go to eat sushi? i know a great place. sure, let's. all set? let's go. -coming. you came. yes, hello. i put you through a lot of work. oh no. -let's have lunch. young-jae's wife was kind enough to make it. yes, enjoy! can you move out the way, please? it looks a bit cold. -instead, how about taking one and feeding it to each other? how's the taste? delicious. young-jae, you too. place one in your wife's mouth. -you look so sweet together. let's finish this up with a kiss. you're public figure. a lot of people are watching. you have to watch what you say. -is it ok to act without thinking? you're in it together. do you know how much we go through by that? i apologize. thank you for the lunch. -i enjoyed it. sorry for taking up your time. you must be tired. why is that over here? young-jae gave it to me to review. -to see if it's any good. that guy? really? so what do you think? the story isn't right, it's a wreck. -the story is? yeah, i have no sense of what the author is trying to say. the style and prose are horrible it has some flashes of wit. but is that enough for a story? -young-jae says a friend wrote it. i wrote it. really? oh.. sorry. -what a mistake. are you upset? no. hye-won. sorry, did you wait long. -no. it's good you guys looked friendly together. let's eat together some other time. also, to ji-eun. what's up with you, did someone say something? -don't pay attention to that, the newspapers and all. it's nothing. so what if it's awful. they say it's junk. you were right. -it's not a novel, it's rambling. not even as interesting as your scandals. me? when? i don't think i said that. -sorry but.. let's not talk and just go home. how long's it been? about one week. no, more than one week. -then should i call them? call them? don't call them. i'll be angry if you do. mother, please don't call. -of course, i won't. excuse me. i dropped your toothbrush in the toilet. don't worry i washed it clean. psyche! -but i really did. why not seaweed soup? (traditional for birthdays) just eat what i'm giving you. on a birthday, seaweed soup should be served. -today's your birthday? no...it's yours. how don't you know your own b-day? it is. how did you know? -what are you going to do? i want to go to amazing land. i'll invite dong-wook and hee-jin. i wonder how long it's been. just you three? -and me? with so many people around, how can you go? did i say i was going? i'm busy all day. oh yeah? -then i won't need to be back by dinner. childish.. amazing land. oh, i should tell them to bring my bag on the way. it's ok if you go out, but clean up first. -sure, but of course. how can you not remember a friend's birthday? that's ok. that's why i'm saying we should go to amazing land. i've always gone to amazing land for my birthday. -if i don't go, it wouldn't be a birthday. it'll be fun. you're leaving now? he's so strange. we'll have dinner. -ok then see you at amazing land. oh, hello. i've read what you sent. this might be sudden, but how is time for you? to be honest, i'll be very busy next week. -is this too sudden? today is fine. ok, see you later. it's me again. cancel amazing land, ok? -what recorder would writers use? does he have a schedule for today? no, he doesn't but he's here. it's awful. who would invest in that trash? -that's right, it's trash. no one's interested in investing. tell him we won't. there's nothing else to consider. tell him to rewrite that trash. -i have a client in right now, i'll call back. there wasn't a good chance to greet you at your wedding. congratulations. what tea would you like? i'm fine. -i've reviewed what you've sent. a bit disappointing from what you said of it before. of all that i've read so far, this was the worst. i don't know what the heck you're trying to express. it lacks substance and yet has so many pages. -anyway... reading was painful. it seems derivative of many internet stories... did you really send this? yes i wrote it. -the style is junk, it's incoherent, yes i wrote it. and i'm going to continue to write. till the day i die, no, even after that, and in the next life. but you know you shouldn't be so blunt. to be so rude and disrespectful... -eat sewage. i should leave. i beg your pardon. but...it's not that bad. let's make a deal. -write a synopsis every week. if your synopsis can be made into a movie, we'll sign more deals. don't just stand there, please get in. i'm really sorry about before. you were pretty dramatic. -i'm usually like that. if you don't mind, shall we go for lunch? you've got the deal, shouldn't we celebrate it? wasn't that lee young-jae? where is she? -it is him. excuse me. you're him, right? you're lee young-jae, right? quick, take a picture. -please come out. what's going on? he's taking a shit. i'm going in. oppa, please come out. -hello? security? i'm at amazing land, i think i'll need some help. quick. -this is coming out on the papers. but what the heck were you doing? what would you like? how about spaghetti? i know a good place for spaghetti. -hey you, i'm buying for today. you buy next time. so what will you have? i'll have that too. what's young-jae up to? -he's done with his film, yes? i'm not sure. he bums around and then he says he's got a shooting today. how's the married life? fun? -fun? to live with dignity, that's all it's about. it wasn't that funny. why are you laughing? no, it's funny to me. -you don't know how fun you are, right? thank you for driving me home. not at all. the house is quite beautiful. would you like to come in for while? -oh, young-jae seems to be home, so... next time? are you just back? when did you get here? a little while ago. then you turn the lights on. -what are you doing in the dark? hey, what the hell is wrong with you? with what? what time is it? why are you home so late? -why quarrel? i told you i was going out and coming home late. you ate dinner? i didn't eat. cook something. -you didn't eat yet? yes, that's why i'm asking you to make something. there's nothing. i told you i was getting in late. then do you want instant noodles? -don't want it. make rice. why do you protest so much? always laboring me. where are you going? -to change my clothes. so you went to amazing land, today? what? why would i go there? but you went, why pretend not to? -i went. so what? did you go to find me? who? me? -am i crazy? just because... i was bored, haven't gone in a long while, and wanted to know what's there. and there are some folk i know. that's it. -don't think anything. though i didn't go today. oh? so? did you wait long? -i didn't wait. why are you laughing? don't laugh. why are you staring? haven't seen me eat before? -let's go to amazing land! i didn't eat soup or have cake, at least i should go to amazing land. see, it's closed. yes, that's even better. we have it all to ourselves. -it's been in movies. you should know. are we shooting a movie? so what would i do? then are we going home? -wait, let me think. so in a movie, what do they do? they'd probably have it scripted beforehand. hey, follow me. hurry, come over. -are you that bad? dummy. go with the flow. go slowly. such an idiot. -you sure you're not a rock head? why can't you follow? really, where might the stupidest person be? life shouldn't be taken so lightly. what an idiot. -like a dummy. i guess you have talent for something. what's that? my mother taught me a long time ago. my mother was a really good skater. -what an undertaking. teaching someone like you... it's a miracle. i should know since i tried teaching you listen, today's my birthday. -ok, i'm listening. i forgot. see, i told you you're dumb. i remember now. i got a deal today. -i'm a professional author now. really? it's nothing regular. write a synopsis, adventure stories nothing serious. -but to think people will be hearing my stories. feels weird inside, you know? all the stories i would tell my mom, i'll share with the world now. like good music or paintings, stories can move people and make them feel better. so, "ji-eun, become a writer who touches people." -that's what your mother said? how did you know? so then can you write just any story? that's why from now on, i'm going to work hard and write great stories. fighting! -is that supposed to be in style? are you sitting there because you've done all the housework? i'll do it soon. i'll be out. i expect this place to be all clean when i return. -gleaming. become a writer who touches hearts, happy birthday. young-jae is strange. they say there's no such thing as a bad person. can this be true? -sometimes there's caring. i'm not sure. is this recording? i'm coming! get out this house at once! -()...() ( ' - ') (")(") subs by zdoon @ d-addicts. jin se ryeong is in the room next to tae ik's? that's what i said. she brought in a lot of furniture as she pleased. -her personality is like that. she does everything as she pleases. and, i've felt this from earlier. it doesn't seem like you and jin se ryeong are on good terms. i... don't like people who are like watermelons. -watermelon? they are green on the outside... and red on the inside. moreover, they have seeds, which are cumbersome. i don't like her! i don't like! -i... someone like man ok... man ok, stand up for a second. okay. i like someone whose outside and inside are white. -what does that mean? oh, man ok, you look just like that. that! excuse me? ♫ round eyes, and a small nose. ♫ -♫ a cute little bear that wears white fur clothes. ♫ ♫ i will always look at you. ♫ ♫ and say a small wish. ♫ ♫ when i am next to you... yes, that! -♫ i am always happy. ♫ ♫ whatever secret it may be.♫ ♫ i can say it. ♫ ♫ on the small little black nose, ♫ ♫ if you press your lips on it. ♫ -♫ your face turns red because you are shy, pretty little baby bear. ♫ are you blushing? man ok, your face really became red! chaton! chaton. -chaton, your mother's face became red. mother? yeah. i'm the father. you don't want to? -then, should i make it older sister and older brother? um, kang won-nim, our chaton is male. really? you aren't a girl? what difference does it make if it's a girl or a boy? -as long as she's pretty. aren't i right? hey, jang man! what is this? it seems like he is into it. -what is it? if you start working, you should finish it. who did you expect would finish the job that you threw aside like this? from here, jang man, you do all of it. do you have time tonight? -why are you asking if i have time suddenly? there is somebody who wants to meet you, president. me? who? someone who will give you power. -if you meet the person, you will know. how does 8 p.m. at hotel h sound? let's make it at 9 o'clock. i will make the arrangement accordingly then. hwa ming? -it's se ryeong. i told him about you and he wants to see you tonight. is 9 o'clock okay with you? all right. we'll be there. -see you then. did you say you would invest in us? yes. i have become interested in your company. why would an international designer invest in entertainment? -can i ask the reason why? instead of a reason, i will give you one condition. please reinstate won kang hwi into the entertainment world. that is my one condition for investing. kang hwi? -we are about to launch our brand in korea at this time. we want to use won kang hwi as the new face of our brand, win. you may know, but reinstating won kang hwi in the entertainment world is not such an easy thing. in korea, getting ousted is fatal. that's why i am giving you so much investment money. -your talent at destroying someone is first class. i believe that your reconstruction will be fast, too. that is why i came to see you, president. can i ask you why it has to be won kang hwi? won kang hwi is my muse. -if you don't want to do it, i will look for another entertainment company. okay. i will accept your condition. as i have heard, your decisions are quick. about the details of this business, i will contact you shortly as soon it is arranged. -ah, right... we should have a dinner together with se ryeong. se ryeong was asked to speak for me as an invester and she arranged the introduction. i will organize a meeting. i am looking forward to it. -what about kang hwi's whereabouts? i'm sorry, not yet. by fair means or foul, find out as quickly as possible! yes. there is definitely a hole somewhere to get in. -at this rate, how am i supposed to find the recording? why did they suddenly begin construction! should you be roaming around like that? what are you going to do if you get caught? what are you doing in someone else's room? -i have something to say. i don't. chaton, come here! aigo! my baby! -hwa ming. you know her, right? the creator of the brand, "win." you've heard her name before, haven't you? that unni's taste is weird. -she said she's your fan. i have a lot of fans. won kang hwi, the best in the universe, don't you know? i got to know her by being in a couple of her shows in the states. she's in seoul right now. -if it's with hwa ming's power, couldn't she save you from this beggar-like place? what do you want to say? if you want, i can introduce you to hwa ming. why would you? you wouldn't want me to be successful. -i don't like you here. what did i ever do to you? you know, there is something like that. while living, there are people whose existence you just hate for no reason. you are like that. -as it is, you are a eye-sore. and, you are even more so by being next to tae ik. are you jealous? i'm not jealous. i said that you're just cumbersome. -i am cumbersome because i see right through that bad heart of yours. if i'm not here, you think everything will go well with tae ik? well, that's about right. you seem to have forgotten... tae ik got engaged. -jang man ok? she doesn't worry me at all. after seeing the news about tae ik's engagement, it's true that i was a little worried... but, after looking at jang man ok's face, that worry went away completely. there's no way tae ik would like such a plain woman. -it'll be best if you leave this house as quickly as possible. i also don't know until when my lips will be silent. you're still the same, jin se ryeong. but, when did she get to know hwa ming? ah! -it's rice again? i don't like it. what is this? don't you know about giving preference to the patient? forget it! -this is my house. ah! seriously! man ok, bring mine to the basement! set mine separately in the future. -if you don't eat now, there will be no food later. so just know that! do you really think of me as a cook? this is all because of you! you be quiet! -ah! the soup is slightly salty. how can you...? what is it? huh? -ah! it's nothing. jang man ok, it seems you take more care of kang hwi than your fiancé. that is because... kang hwi is sick. -did you also hurt your hand? hey! what is it to you where i am hurt? man ok, i'm sorry, but i will get up first. i was just worried about him... -jesus! jang man ok! don't you take care of your skin? what? how can your skin be like that? -it has become dark. you look like someone who was farming. you are, after all, the fiancée of a top singer. this is a little extreme. why? -why don't you eat some more? i lost my appetite. with food is like this is why you have no appetite. jang man ok, isn't there anything fresh? uh... -like a tofu salad? hey! jang man! are you a social service worker? are you a domestic assistant? -why do you serve food to just anyone? you are my fiancée! you are the fiancée of a top singer! you needn't worry about weird dregs like them. just make my food in the future. -ah! what is this? what am i to do with all this food? why is it so hard to see? do i need to go to the hospital? -why do you have the lights off? just like that. you are hungry, aren't you? eat this with me. wow! -it looks good! how is it? good! good! eachpersoneatstheirownfood. -eat it deliciously even if you eat it alone. oh! i'm full! indeed, food tastes good when eaten together, doesn't it? yes. -i thought i was finally eating upstairs now... anyway, that jin se ryeong is the problem! but... kang hwi-nim... yes? -why did lee tae ik and jin se ryeong break up? are you curious? why? are the two bothering you? we live in the same house. -it would be weirder if i wasn't concerned. i don't bother about them at all. no, it's just... i thought it would be uncomfortable living in the same house with a previous girlfriend. it seems like lee tae ik is finding it very uncomfortable. -he would be. lee tae ik liked her a lot. he liked her as if jin se ryeong was the only woman in this world. but jin se ryeong dumped him and left. ah! -it must have been hard for lee tae ik. what about me? aren't you curious about me? what? who i met before... -what relationship i was in... who i like now... aren't you curious about a single one of them? no way! you don't really think that i like guys, do you? -no! who? then, ask me. i am always open about it. next time. -yes, okay. ah, right! and kang hw-nim... i could get busy starting from tomorrow. what? -why? because of lee tae ik's solo album preparations. ah, i see. are you okay? of course, i am. -when i find the tape recorder and the truth is revealed, i will be ruling the world of singers anyway. please come back. you are my goddess. i only love you. -you are my goddess. i only love you. baek go dong! stop the car. are you going to buy cosmetics? -yes. here! what shall i help you with? because of a sunburn, and because of fatigue, the skin has become bad. -give me a pack or some cream that revitalizes the skin quickly. uh... no... show me that, please. yes, client. -have you used this product before? it is an intensive cream made from rose oil especially cultivated in bulgaria. this season is the first time this product is being launched in korea. pack it, please. yes. -are you really going to buy that? that is really expensive. i will get you samples later on. be quiet! are you publicizing to people that i use samples? -ah! i'm sorry. but why are you doing this suddenly? you're buying such an expensive thing? you use it. -what? use what? this? yes, use it. why would you give this expensive thing... -suddenly to me? i'm just giving it to you. so, use it! that doesn't make any sense! petty, rude bastard is giving me this expensive thing? -what? petty? rude bastard? no, that is... because you normally don't buy such expensive things ... -can i really use this? if you go around with bad skin, people will think that i made you suffer. so, use it! use it! i said use it! -you create a big deal even when i give you a present. why are you shouting? ah! thank you. rude bastard! -wow! it's all done! since it is expensive, even the container is really luxurious. oh! it smells nice! -but if you are giving me a present, you can give it nicely. "use it! use it! i said use it!" why are you being nasty? -noble and pure? ha! what is this? nobody else is at home? what's the matter? -ah! yes! this is lee tae ik's house, right? yes, so? it's parcel service. -please sign here. sign? yes. behappy,jinseryeong kiwi studio? -what, on earth, did they send? these were all taken on the same day? yes, kiwi studio. this is lee tae ik's manager from u entertainment. a parcel service arrived at our house. -ah, yes! they are the photos taken at the studio that day. director kim byeong soo asked us to send them to your home. director kim byeong soo? yes, this is kim byeong soo. -director? i'm se ryeong. se ryeong? jin se ryeong? aigoo, why are you calling me? -a busy international star calls me first? you've been well, haven't you? it's always the same for me. i saw the article about you returning to korea. i heard that this time you are under the same roof as president lee jun. -yes, it so happened. director, it seems like you are working a lot with the president these days. you also worked on tae ik's photos this time. tae ik? ah! -you are talking about the photos taken with his fiancée? i guess the photos already arrived. yes, they turned out well. don't even talk about it. i'm telling you this because you are in u entertainment, -i was suddenly called to take those photos. i suffered immensely. i heard about it. tae ik and who was it... and the woman who is acting like his fiancée were making such a long face. -i was photographing them making them look like a couple... se ryeong, se ryeong. i need to start the shoot. i'm sorry, but i will call you back later. where did you guys go out so early? -ah! lee tae ik had a recording. excuse me! change your clothes and come back down. do you have something to say to me? -no. nothing! then i will go in, too. this was all... a show? would he like it? -he will like it! you told me to come down. why? here's your present. what is this? -can't you tell from seeing? it's a t-shirt. t-shirt? it looks just like you, doesn't it? i drew that! -is this me by any chance? yes. are you a stylist? you really can't draw. you aren't asking me to wear this, are you? -if you don't want to, then don't wear it! you can't even recognize a one-of-a-kind masterpiece t-shirt. moreover, that is 100% pure cotton! if you aren't going to wear it, give it to me! forget it! -since it is pure cotton, then i will specially wear it for you. never mind! give it to me so that i can wear it! are you kidding me? if you gave it to me, then it is mine! -tae ik! what are you trying to do? until when are you going to be like this? until when are you going to treat me like a phantom? you are drunk. -go in and sleep. i am sincere when i say that i want to start over with you. sincere? you seem not to remember. you also said that you were sincere when you broke up with me. -back then, tae ik... i like you, i am sincere. let's break up, i am sincere. whether the other person gets hurt or not, all that matters is whether you like it. that kind of sincerity! -for someone like you, do you really have any sincerity? then what about you? acting like this to me now, are you being sincere? you still haven't gotten over me. you act like you can't see me. -you ignore me. you are purposely doing that because you still haven't gotten over me yet. then what is the photo hidden behind the photo frame? you said that you are over me! why do you have the photo you took with me? -when people were saying that you are gay, if you had shown that photo, you... wouldn't have had problems! you didn't do that because you wanted to protect me. if you show that photo, i may be hurt. revealitas soonaspossible. -don'tcomeout! completelypetty! contractengagement? jangmanok deceivesmetotheend? you betrayer! wonkanghwi,the bestintheuniverse! -you shine the brightest on stage. standonstageand get itback . yourfame,fullhouseandtheperson youlove. let'sdoallthe thingsthat wecouldn'tdo so far when i was locked up in the basement. let'shavefun! -kanghwi-nim! since it's already happened, i don't know where you are going, but take me with you so that i can sightsee? willyoube by my sideinthefuturelikeyouarenow? i love you. be by my side, forever. -i want to go to you. will you take me? if two persons' marriage were to end... then he wants a chance as well. it is it alright if i like him? our chicken is up early to make breakfast? -oh, sorry. i can't call you a chicken. what can i call her? ah, koko! (sound chickens make) -what did you say? is our koko up early to make breakfast? good koko. where is it? here. -i didn't do anything to it. you want to be this way? you agreed to this for when i'm busy what makes you busy? i'm going to meet min-hyuk in the afternoon. -why? no... so you and him... will probably dine together? probably. get him to buy a lot of delicious food. -not just anything, go for the expensive. i don't but he buys that for me anyway. i see. that's great! when i think about it... -i've never once bought you dinner. always breaking promises. if you want to like min-hyuk in that way, then do it. you don't need my permission. since it's not your heart i have under contract. -our marriage may be business... but what we feel isn't. your heart... is your own. oh, you're so great. that's right. -my feelings are mine, so now on i'll do what i want. it's become much more polished, so in all your work is much better. really? that's a relief. (narrator) in the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. -in new york city, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the special victims unit. these are their stories. (chuny) what have we got? 6-year-old male. stopped breathing at a church service. -no pulse. gave him epi and atropine. help him, please. the boy's dad. you wait here. -still no pulse. pupils fixed and dilated. asystole. push vasopressin and atropine. scalpel. -oh, my god. what are you doing? (chuny) trying to start his heart. sir, you need to wait outside. no, no, please let me stay with him. -did he ingest anything? poisons, detergents, drugs? (sam) just... just a glass of milk before bed. (nurse) vasopressin and atropine on board. still no pulse. -how long has he been down? nearly 30 minutes. you have to help him. i'm sorry. there's nothing more we can do. -paramedics were called to a service at the church of divine blessing just before midnight. a parishioner said the kid had stopped breathing. we did everything we could to resuscitate him, but he was doa. his name's jamie semple. (benson) did you notify the parents? -yeah. dad came in with the paramedics. and what's the cause of death? i have my suspicions, but you better wait for the autopsy. why us? -because i think he was physically abused. there's these indentations. do you mind if i take a look? partial finger impressions. is that a ring mark? -somebody really squeezed this kid. or crushed him. hold on. the ring might have partial initials. can we use your camera? -from the positioning of the imprint, the ring is on the right ring finger. where are the parents? they are in the waiting area. they tell you why they took their kid to church in the middle of the night? yeah. -they were praying over him. (benson) mr. and mrs. dufoy? i'm det. benson. this is det. -tutuola. we're so sorry about your loss. we need to ask you a few questions. can you tell us what happened? uh, i'm... -i'm afraid i don't know a lot. i... i was... i work late. um, i run a bodega up on 121st. -sam was home with jamie. he'd been wild... real wild all day and was just throwing fits like he was possessed. when he finally quieted down, i took him to the church. i thought it might help if father hendry prayed over him. -what time was it? 11:15 p.m., 11:30 p.m. and you were okay with this, mrs. dufoy? well, uh, we were jamie's foster parents. his birth mother wanted church to be a part of his life so we... we try to respect that. -so what went on last night? we were praying with father hendry. and this lady was holding jamie's hand and suddenly she couldn't find a pulse. jamie stopped breathing'. we tried to wake him, but we couldn't. -may i please see both of your right hands? why? please. (benson) thank you. where's the church? -um, 126th, off lenox. okay. if you think of anything else, please call us, okay? it's 4:45. i've got to be in court in four hours. -okay, you go ahead. it's about time munch got his bony ass out of bed for some religion. thanks. jamie and his father found comfort and healing here on many occasions. ask my brothers and sisters. -why did jamie need healing'? he had demons. he had fits. he'd hurl himself to the ground, froth at the mouth, shout, swear, bang his head. and this was the devil's work? -medicine couldn't heal jamie. our prayers could. then why is he dead? excuse me, ma'am. you are... -mariel plummer. acs. jamie's case worker. i just came from the hospital. i spoke to lori-ann and sam. -i just can't believe this has happened. jamie's in a better place now. the only better place jamie could be is at home with his parents. i'm sorry, this is just really upsetting. ms. plummer, in your professional opinion, was jamie possessed by the devil? -jamie had adhd, with conduct disorder and epilepsy. if you don't believe me, speak to his doctor. (engels) i worked with jamie for nearly a year. he could be a real handful. when a child has both a behavioral and an organic disorder, one exacerbates the other. -what did you do for jamie? gave him medication for the epilepsy and therapy for the adhd. he was steadily improving. he could be a sweet kid. funny, loving, inventive. -can't believe he's dead. isn't that mariel plummer? yes. jamie's case worker. she's great with kids. -he was quite fond of her. i felt we had the behavioral problems under control, but there was always a chance he could have another seizure. (fin) could he die from that? there is a rare syndrome called sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. -how does that happen? not taking one's meds, or mixing them. did jamie's foster parents know how to medicate him? yes. and how to care for him during a seizure. -but in the last few months, they'd started looking for answers elsewhere. like at the church of divine blessing. yeah. sam dufoy insisted that it was good for jamie. a month ago i told them either leave the church, or leave me because i couldn't take responsibility for jamie's health. -they chose the church. according to doc engels, cause of death could be an epileptic seizure. that kid is dead because his parents didn't give him his meds and then dragged him off to a faith healer. that's the lure of faith healing. medicine doesn't give them the answer they want, so they turn to god. -doc said jamie was gettin' better. he's got epilepsy, he'll always be epileptic. medicine can only treat the condition. father hendry can promise them a cure. but he can't deliver. -mmm, then he says it's the lord's will. yeah, or maybe sam and lori-ann didn't pray hard enough. i got the feeling that lori-ann didn't approve of it. she doesn't belong to that church. even if jamie was having a seizure and his dad took him for a prayer session, it doesn't account for the mark on jamie's chest. -depends on what kind of prayer session you're talkin' about. that autistic kid who died in a milwaukee church, the parishioners held him down. they were layin' on top of him to cure him. that would explain the ring mark, right? somebody holds on to jamie, he struggles, and they hold on to him tighter. -until he stops breathing. thank you, i enjoyed that. have we tracked down his birth mother yet? social worker said she moved to long island. i made a call. -phone's disconnected. i also did a little homework on father hendry. he used to be minister at the sacred spirit church, but left over religious differences. okay. liv, elliot, you've got trial prep. -john, fin, pay a visit to sacred spirit church. let's see how different father hendry's religion was. lucas hendry was with us for many years. he was a popular preacher. why'd he leave? -he was drawn to a more charismatic form of worship. he felt people needed more drama in their faith. have you heard of the toronto blessing? nope. started in the '90s in a church near toronto airport. -practitioners claim they can cast out demons, heal the sick, speak in tongues. hendry and some of our members were seduced by it. like, uh, sam and lori-ann dufoy? (xavier) sam was. he and lori-ann are good people. -we were sorry to see them go. you think father hendry's a fraud? he doesn't hold rattlesnakes in one hand and the collection box in the other if that's what you mean. he may be deluded, but he's sincere. does rev. hendry always wear this ring? -(xavier) yes. it was his grandfather's. this mark was on jamie's body. see the partial initials, j.o.? well, my initials are i.h. -(fin) but it's your ring. the initials belong to your granddaddy, jackson ormont. (munch) where's the ring, father? i don't wear it anymore. we talked to the people that prayed for jamie that night. -they said you were callin' to the lord, battling' with satan. his demons were powerful. i had to fight them. you held him so tight the ring left an impression on his flesh. i was healing him. -you crushed the life out of him. no! you killed him. god forgive me. i was only trying to help the boy. -i... i... i must have held him too tight. i... i saw the mark my ring had made. -i took it off. i'm so sorry. about to take him to booking. (cragen) put him in the cage. i think you better talk to warner first. -(warner) we've got microscopic cotton fibers. i found them in jamie's lungs and stomach. along with these: traces of toluene diisocyanate polyol and pentabromodiphenyl oxide: your basic foam rubber and fire retardant. -so he was smothered with a cushion? or a cheap pillow. okay. somebody holds a pillow over jamie's face. the kid fights, and bites right through the case and into the foam. -yeah, but the parishioners didn't say anything about a pillow. that's because jamie wasn't smothered at the church. how do you know that? see how clear and deep the impression is? that wouldn't have happened with living skin. -his flesh had started to swell and become waxy. jamie was already dead. at least an hour before this mark was made. you know, i... i don't know what you think you're gonna find here. -we'll let you know soon as we find it. pillow case is clean, no tears. when's your husband coming back? soon. he's out making jamie's funeral arrangements. -look like teeth marks? mmm-hmm. check this out. (munch) blood? no, it couldn't be. -jamie must have spilled his chocolate milk or something. look, do you really think we would hurt him? he was like our own son. we need to get this to the lab, see if they can id it. pillow case. -found it in the trash. tear marks. (fin) check it against the bite marks on that. w-what's going on? perfect match. -we just found your murder weapon. jamie was sleeping when i took him to the church. (fin) he was already dead when he got there, sam. no, no. after one of his fits, it's like he's in a coma. -b-but he always wakes up. he couldn't wake up. he'd been suffocated with a pillow. that's impossible. i'd never hurt jamie. -then why are there bite marks on his pillow and pillowcase? because jamie is an epileptic. when he's having a seizure, he goes crazy. he'll bite anything within reach. that doesn't explain the fragments of foam and fiber in his lungs. -i don't believe you. what do you think these are? (fin) that pillow was pressed so hard against jamie's face, he inhaled this stuff. no. come on, sam. -the kid was running wild. you were at the end of your rope. you put that pillow over his face, you held it there till he stopped moving'. stop! i loved jamie. -no, you killed him. then you took him to the church to cover it up. no. i know my husband. he would never do anything like this. -we dumped your phone. sam called you at your store at 11:00. why? he said jamie was out of control. did you go home? -i couldn't. i had customers. i told sam to stay calm, that i would be there as soon as i could. (fin) let it out, sam. you'll feel better. -i just wanted him to sleep. just be still for a while. but then he stopped moving. so you took him to the priest. father hendry woke him up before. -i thought he could do it again. sam, don't say anything else. we're getting a lawyer. baby, i tried so hard not to hurt him. i'm sorry. -oh, god, i'm sorry. father hendry didn't know jamie was already dead? sam lied. told him the kid had a fit and was all wrung out. after a grand mal seizure, epileptics can go into a semi-comatose state. -it's called postictal shock. sam's brought jamie to the church like that before. father hendry thinks he can wake him up again. jamie's birth mother just arrived. this woman is gonna blow. -anything i can tell her? yeah. you've caught her son's killer and i'm arraigning him for murder. why didn't anybody tell me what those monsters did to my son? we tried calling you. -then why did i have to find out about it over the television? my own little son. didn't acs contact you? (tamara) how do you think this all got started? who the hell do you think took jamie from me and put him with those freaks? -if you have any information about the dufoys, we'd like to hear it. he said that they hurt him. he begged me to let him come home. did you report that to acs? yes, i did. -but do you think that bitch did anything about it? you mean mariel plummer? yeah, her. my son's poor, dead little body is at her door. she's gonna pay for it. -and acs is gonna pay for it. the city is gonna pay for it. that's not gonna bring jamie back. have you ever lost a child? you think this is about money? -unfortunately, it does seem to be about money. tamara semple's got convictions for credit card fraud and shoplifting. doesn't take away her right to be angry. she loses custody of jamie and he ends up dead. kid might not have been much safer with his real mama. -acs removed jamie after his little sister drowned in the bathtub. where was tamara? talkin' on the phone. courts ruled it was an accidental death, but acs did a precautionary removal of jamie. this woman's kid dies in foster care, the first thing she sees is a big, fat settlement. -what about her allegations the dufoys hurt jamie? if they did, acs could be found liable. which would weaken our case against sam dufoy. we should check it out. (mariel) wouldn't be the first lawsuit that tamara semple brought against acs. -of course, none of them succeeded. she told us jamie complained that the dufoys physically abused him. he never said a word to me about abuse. sam and lori-ann were good parents. good parents don't kill their kids. -you have to understand how difficult a child like jamie could be. sam probably snapped. did you ever see any evidence that sam was unstable? no. on my home visits, jamie was happy, clean, and very fond of both lori-ann and sam. -sam work? he stays home, looks after jamie. lori-ann brought in the money. sam and lori-ann were married young. he was a college basketball star. -excuse me. tutuola. (mariel) lori-ann stuck by him. i make it my business to know about my foster families. this is jamie's file. -you can take it. i'm afraid i can't take it without getting a subpoena first. sure. it's here when you need it. thank you. -thanks. crime lab. they said they've got somethin' they want us to hear. i checked sam's luds. a half-hour before he called lori-ann at the store, he also called the child abuse hotline. -and all the hotline calls are recorded. that's right. (sam) hello? hello? (woman) child abuse hotline. -can i help you? yeah. it's my foster kid. i can't deal with him any more. jamie, cut that out! -you got to help me here. sir, are you reporting an incident of child abuse? no, no, nothing like that. is this child in danger at this moment? no, he's just out of control. -sir, if it's an emergency, call 911. otherwise, you should call your acs case worker. i have called. she never answers. i want help, you hear? -i want him out of my house. sir, i'll take your information and pass it to child protective services. they'll contact you within 24 hours. 24 hours? oh, man. -had he called his case worker? well, luds show four calls to mariel plummer's acs office the day jamie died. (novak) did she talk to him? can't say. no call was shorter than 20 seconds which means sam either had a conversation with her, or left a message. -it's funny how mariel didn't tell us any of this. i'll put a rush on the subpoena. you get a hold of all mariel's case files, see what else she forgot to tell us. (torres) mariel's records seem to show she was doing her job. visited jamie every month. -but see those dates? they're the same. yeah. which means all the records were either generated or altered on the same date. which happens to be yesterday. -what are you doing? i gave you everything you need. we were just admiring you writing up six months worth of records in only one day. i was checking them because of the subpoena. i didn't alter a thing. -i'm afraid the log date only changes if an alteration is made. i was probably tidying things up. it's impossible to keep track of all the paperwork. mariel plummer, you are under arrest for tampering with public records. you're arresting me for paperwork? -and for reckless endangerment in the death of jamie semple. you have the right to remain silent. anything you do or say... (cragen) you've got a problem, counselor. arresting jamie's social worker makes it harder to convict sam dufoy. he can claim it's her fault. -asked for help, didn't get it. and if the jury buys it, sam could walk. what're you gonna do? plead him out? no way. -he killed that kid. question is, who do i try first? if i go with sam and put mariel on the stand, she can't testify without incriminating herself. but i don't want to give her immunity. what's your gut tell you? -get the facts on the record. catch the little fish before i go for the big one. i'll go schedule mariel's court date. (maddox) casey. carolyn. -what are you doing here? representing mariel plummer. i trust you've had second thoughts about persecuting her. no. you seriously intend to clog up the courts to try someone on a couple of clerical errors? -not errors, deliberate falsifications designed to conceal the fact she recklessly endangered a child. my client was deceived by a nutcase who murdered a kid, then asked a voodoo priest to bring him back to life. but let's deal. a year's probation for falsifying the official record, you drop all other charges. no, thanks. -she takes a felony plea, guilty of reckless endangerment. motion to dismiss the endangerment charge on constitutional grounds. what are you talking about? you're forgetting your fourteenth amendment, casey. see you at the hearing. -the due process clause in the fourteenth amendment does not require a state agency to protect its citizens from private violence. therefore, there's no case against my client. that ruling also says that a state agency isn't required to protect its citizens against violence and other mishaps that are, i quote, "not attributable to the conducts of its employees." but jamie semple's death is at least partly attributable to mariel plummer's negligence. -ms. maddox, your own case law seems to help ms. novak. she's misreading what the justices had in mind. if the criminal court finds my client culpable for jamie's death, then who's next? police officers who fail to prevent a homicide? firefighters who don't save someone from being burned? -(novak) your honor, that's a reach. many courts have ruled that a child in foster care is analogous to a prisoner in state custody, and state officials like ms. plummer are not only liable for harm the child suffers, but also for failing to act where there is potential for harm. i'm sorry, ms. maddox, i agree with ms. novak's reading of the law. your client must stand trial. -when you called the child abuse hotline the night jamie died, you said you tried to contact your case worker, mariel plummer. how many times? four times that day. another three times the week before. (novak) did she ever return any of those calls? -no. why were you calling her? because i was havin' a hard time coping' with jamie. what could mariel have done? if she'd called back or visited, she would have seen that jamie was out of control and how i was strugglin'. -then none of this would have happened. thank you. why not call 911? what do you mean? you said you were scared you couldn't cope with jamie. -why not call 911 as the operator suggested? i don't know. or take jamie to the emergency room, or call a neighbor, or do anything? i thought i could handle him. how? -by smothering him with a pillow? objection! only goes to credibility, your honor. the jury has a right to know that this witness is facing criminal charges in the death of his foster son, and therefore has an excellent motive to lie. i'll allow it. -the witness will respond. did you suffocate jamie with a pillow? i assert my fifth amendment rights against self-incrimination. nothing further. (maddox) how long have you been a social worker? -about 18 years. and why did you become one? i wanted to help people. make a difference in a small way. i'm sure there are many people who are very grateful to you. -frankly, i doubt that. i usually show up when a family is in crisis. i'm the one who has to say to the mom: "why are your kid's clothes dirty? why did your kids miss school?" -worse than that, i'm the one that has to remove the kids if there's any suspicion of abuse or neglect. have you ever been threatened? usually just verbal abuse. i've been mugged three times, chased out of apartments with knives. -i... i work in pretty rough areas. and you keep coming back? someone has to look out for the kids. then what went wrong with jamie? -i made a mistake. i thought that lori-ann and sam were good foster parents and that jamie was safe. (maddox) you never thought he was in danger? no. and i had what i thought were more urgent cases. -and i was giving all my attention to them. i was wrong. i'll never be able to forgive myself. thank you. you say you didn't think jamie was in danger, but sam dufoy had called, left messages. -didn't that warn you? the messages said that jamie was acting up and that sam wanted to talk. it didn't sound urgent. he called four times the day jamie died. how much more urgent can it get? -i thought jamie was safe. you had no idea what was going on in the dufoy house. you hadn't visited in months. you'd forgotten all about jamie. no, i cared about him. -then why not return sam's calls? because i was out of the office till late working on another case. but you cared about jamie. why was that other case so much more important? a father returned home from prison. -he beat his wife to death with a hammer. then he killed himself in front of his two children. that's what i was working on. that's why i didn't return sam's call. i made a terrible mistake, but don't accuse me of not caring. -no further questions. (maddox) the social worker's job. poorly paid and usually thankless. they work in the most deprived and violent parts of our cities where they can be assaulted, raped, even murdered. burnout's common. -many don't last five years. mariel plummer has worked for 18. when jamie died, she had nearly 20 cases. the recommended case load is 12. this tragedy isn't mariel's fault. -it's the fault of an overburdened system: too few case workers, too few dollars, too many children in need. out of grief and panic after jamie's death, mariel altered her official records. she admits it. -she's sorry for it. find her guilty on that charge. not on the charge of endangering jamie's life. jamie slipped through a crack in the system. blame the system. -blame the man who killed jamie, but don't blame the social worker. mariel plummer was the crack in the system. she was the one person whose job it was to look out for jamie. and she failed to do her job. -l-lf she'd made any one of the visits she fraudulently claimed to have made or returned any one of the phone calls, jamie would be alive. she turned her back on him. that is child endangerment. this time you must blame the social worker. -find mariel guilty, and send a message to her and to her supervisors, and to the city, and to the state that the death of even one child is unacceptable. verdict in already? guilty on the record tampering, not guilty on child endangerment. why not? maddox played the jury like a violin. -mariel was under intolerable pressure, she made an understandable mistake. they bought it. well, at least when you try sam dufoy, he won't be able to blame mariel. unless i blow that trial, too. someone's gotta be held accountable for that poor kid's death. -i may have something. clear evidence of abuse from the dufoy apartment. why'd it take so long? sample had to work its way from criminalistics to serology. remember the stain on jamie's bed? -it's blood. lab finally id'd the object that made it. a cheese grater. serology found skin cells and cheese fragments. somebody dragged a cheese grater across the kid's skin? -how old is the blood stain? (warner) at most a few days. otherwise the blood would have oxidized completely. but jamie didn't have any other marks on him. that's because it wasn't jamie's blood. -it's from a female. mom? wrong blood group. and from the low levels of the hormones fsh and lh in her blood, this female is in early puberty. the dufoys had a girl in that apartment? -then where the hell is she? go talk to mariel. see if she made another "understandable mistake". what do you want? aren't you done harassing me? -don't kid yourself, lady, you got off light. i lost my job, my pension. i've been crucified by the press, i get threatening phone calls. i don't have time for your self-pity. -where's the other foster kid that was stayin' in the dufoy's apartment? what are you talking about? jamie was their only child. you... you saw my records. your records don't mean a damn thing. -forensics says there was another girl there. what forensics? the girl's blood. sam dufoy sliced her up with a cheese grater. oh, my god. -i had no idea. why didn't i go to that apartment? i'm so... so sorry. yeah, i bet you are. just tell me where she is and how i can find her. -i don't know. hello? just leave me alone! give me this. who the hell are you callin' a bitch? -this is the police. ring this number again, we're gonna come bust in your damn door, believe that. mariel. okay, okay, okay. put the gun down, come on. -please put down the gun. i've saved thousands of children, and i'll only be remembered for one. no! you didn't have to do this. single shot to the chest, point blank. -that should be a quick job for you. thanks. are you okay? hey, i'm cool. i know. -but are you okay? yeah. you gonna shrink me, too? no. you need me, you'll holler. -yeah, i do. to get over to acs. see what you can find on a foster kid. a girl staying with the dufoys. mariel plummer didn't know who she was? -if she had checked on jamie, she would have. but, um, i told her about the blood stain, that's when she shot herself. where are you going? i'm going to go get cleaned up. then i'm going to pay sam dufoy a visit. -(sam) i don't know what you're talkin' about. (fin) people who say that usually mean they do. there was no girl livin' with us. you're a liar. you cut her and left her blood and skin on the bed. -what's her name? he told you, he doesn't know. you kill her, too? like you killed jamie? guard, we're through here. -is she alive? what'd you do with her? where the hell is she? that bastard didn't give me a thing. what about lori-ann? -she'll just come out with the "sam's a good man" crap. got anything? (munch) yep. acs have no record of any other kids being placed with sam dufoy. so i got them to check under lori-ann's maiden name. -four kids were placed with lori-ann watkins in the last two years, all from freshfields private foster home. is one of them our girl? last kid was placed with lori-ann six months ago, but ran away a couple of weeks later. her name is megan rose. why the hell did acs only hear about this now? -acs says they never got the report megan was missing. freshfields insists they sent it. while they're playing pass the buck, megan could be dead. john, find out why this foster agency went on sending' kids to a woman who kept on losing' them. fin. -i'm hauling' her ass in. yeah, of course i know megan. she ran away a week after being placed with us. i'm afraid she was incorrigible. and that just slipped your mind? -it was six months ago. i'm sorry, it didn't seem relevant. what about stacey dean, isiah simpson, nyal lwa? they incorrigible, too? yes. -they've been in the foster care system their entire lives. sam was a great dad. even he couldn't cope with them. (fin) he take care of them the same way he did jamie? they ran away! -we tried to help these kids, but they didn't wanna be helped. and i resent your accusations, detective. we're not through, lady. sit back down. when these kids went missing', what did you do? -i informed the foster care agency. and they informed acs? right. they gave the file back. (munch) then why doesn't acs have the files? -why are you still getting paid? your bank records show you're still receiving adoption assistance payments for every one of those kids. it was a computer error. four computer errors in a little more than two years? you get $2,000 a month for kids that haven't been in your home in months. -i'm tellin' you, it's a mistake. you took in runaways, treat them like crap so they'd run away again or did sam just kill them? no! nobody else would touch these kids! well, somebody touched megan rose with a cheese grater. -what are you talkin' about? this is megan rose's blood, and it damn sure isn't six months old. she was in your home the week jamie died. she see sam kill him? i swear, megan was gone. -or maybe she came back, i don't know. i work so many hours at the store... if she came back, where is she now? you're trying to get me to hurt sam, but i won't. just tell us where megan is. -i said i don't know! (fin) that's megan. remember her now? she was in your home, sam. maybe for a night, maybe for just an hour, but her blood says she was there. -did you kill her, sam? come on, you're already going down for murder. what've you got to lose? tell me what happened. what are you hiding, sam? -are you trying to protect her? did she kill jamie? no! then help me find her. she's just a kid. -st. columba's. the psych home? she went crazy. (coetzee) megan was brought here three weeks ago. she was kicking and screaming at the staff, raving about murdered children. -what did you do with her? diagnosed her as acutely psychotic, with paranoid features. we sedated her with haldol, waited for the psychosis to break. unfortunately, as soon as the medication wore off, the delusions returned and we had to sedate her again. how's she doin'? -quieter. we reduced the dosage. but her foster agency doesn't want her back. and i doubt anyone else will, so it looks like she's set for a long stay. any chance she was tellin' the truth? -no. she had clearly decompensated. the foster parent who brought her in told us that she would mutilate herself, and that these psychotic episodes had become increasingly frequent. the foster parent. her name lori-ann? -yeah. should've listened to megan. she was brought here the night her 6-year old foster brother was murdered. megan. my name is fin. -i'm a cop. i want to talk to you about jamie. get away from me. i know he's dead. megan, get back into bed. -you stay out of this. no. get away from me! leave me alone! i'm not gonna hurt you. -yes, you are. you're trying to trick me. you're gonna stick me with needles. no, i'm not. i know you're telling the truth. -i know who cut your face. she said i was crazy. (fin) you're not crazy. you saw what happened to jamie. tell me. -that night, were you in jamie's room? yes. was sam? no. who was it? -i can't, i can't. i promise. no one will hurt you. who was it? lori-ann. -tell me what happened, baby. jamie was crying and crying, and then he just stopped. so i went into his room and i saw her. she was covering his face with the pillow, screaming, "shut up, shut up!" he was fighting, but he just wasn't strong enough. -then he just stopped moving. come on. where are you taking her? away from this place. i've got good news. -we found megan. yeah, that is good news. is she okay? yeah, she's doin' fine. that's pretty slick. -hidin' a murder witness in a loony bin, tellin' them she was a psycho. yeah, well, obviously the girl is disturbed. she's not that disturbed. she told me what happened. says she saw you kill jamie. -well, she's lying. who do you think a jury's gonna believe? me or some teenage delinquent? after they see how you cut her face, i think they're gonna believe her. -she cut herself, okay? she's psychotic. and jamie smothered himself, too? no. my loser husband did that. -and i've heard enough. i'm goin' home. sam? w-what are you doin' here? i watched you through that window. -you told me it was an accident. you did it. you confessed. no! i could never have hurt jamie. -i wanted him to be our son! you killed him. don't you do this to me, sam. i'm not gonna protect you any more. protect me? -you never protected me! you promised me everything and you gave me nothing. i wasted my life on you! i loved you, lori-ann. i believed your lies. -i let you hurt those kids. you weak son of a bitch! you don't give a damn about anyone. (munch) lori-ann dufoy, you are under arrest for the murder of jamie semple. you have the right to remain silent. -you have the right to an attorney. you okay? i'm cool. hurry up! we're going to miss the procession. -we have to go home early. max might catch me. i just slipped out of the house. i'm taking care of my siblings. we'll leave as soon as we see pamela lou and pamela zhu. -let's go! okay! amboy, look at pamela lou. why? isn't she pretty? -my pamela zhu is prettier. let's carry their arches. no! their father's here. he's the village head. -he might get angry with us. i'll take care of him. come on! hey kid, i'll take over your task. you're tired, right? -hi! you look pretty. can i hold your hand? those are my twins. the one in yellow is my eldest. -he was named after mao tse tung. he might become a great leader someday. that's my daughter, moon cake. they make a good match. i doubt if those kids are my real grandchildren. -perhaps my son's wife cheated on him. they have such large eyes. they're dark-skinned, too! mao! dao! -come here quickly! you're sweating. such dirty minds! powder your face first, okay? my sons are still young. -their looks will still change. here comes the procession. let's go! excuse me! hey! -doesn't pamela lou look pretty? pamela zhu looks prettier. c'mon, let's carry their arches. please leave to avoid trouble. why can't we watch the procession?

he's bald! -gotcha! one... two... no! this is how you play with it. -is that moon cake? yes. i have to marry her. otherwise, father might get angry with me and rise from his grave. marrying her would be like digging your own grave. -don't worry! i'll take care of everything. gino! yumi! yes, mom?

-yeah. what am i supposed to do? you could try talking to him. can he hear me? maybe. -hey, dad. it's ted. i almost finished that puzzle of that schooner you liked. but i think we lost two of the pieces. i wanted to ask him. -ask him what? if he did it. he would tell me. i read in the paper. it said he shot a guy in the face three times. -he did that? yeah. eric. come on in. how you doing, son? -i'm well. you look good. sit down. uh, thanks for basket that you sent to my mother. she said that it was amazing. -and the flowers, too. right. right. it's appreciated. thanks. -so, did you talk to the board?

eric... did you get a chance to talk to that trauma counselor? -the guy--the guy from the omice? dr. silverman? right. no, not yet. are you planning to take a little time om? -after the deal, maybe. maybe? you know, i appreciate your concern on this, burton. i do. but i would prefer if you'd just act as my lawyer, all right? i... -yeah. hey, nick. hey, how you doing, eric? i'm so sorry. thank you. -if there's anything that i can do-- no. no, no, no. we got it--we got it covered. okay. -i got to, uh... can i talk to you a second about craig huberty's son?

problem is, i spoke to a few of the board members. they're not real excited about the idea. does eric know that? i doubt it. -his father kept him pretty much in the dark most of the time. if i called a meeting, they'd vote him down. it wouldn't even be close. i don't want to do that to him. not right now, anyway. -yeah. oh, i did speak to jake and higgins, simonsen. they're leaning towards supporting you. leaning? yeah. -should i talk to them? no, no, no. i'll handle it. are you sure? yeah. yeah. -you know, this could be a very good thing for you. yeah. sorry. where were you? i was with my dad. -oh, right. how is he?

not tonight. but you'll ask? -yeah. should i drive or-- i'm driving. i can follow you? right. or just come with you. -nick. morning. what time did you get home last night? late. yeah, it's fine. -what's up with that kid ted? how is he? oh, some kid spit on him, so he hit him. oh. are you going to the gym now? -yeah. why don't you just try and get some more sleep? i don't sleep much, lulu. how long would he stay with me? couple of weeks, maybe a month. -a month? well, until we find him a foster family. right. he should be with people that he knows. of course. -of course. so is that a yes? you'll do it? here's the thing. the people in this community are pretty shaken up. -i'm sure. i mean, look, i get it. ted's a great kid. but i've seen what they're doing outside his dad's house. so that's a no? -well, you see, i've got a thirteen-year-old son, right? he's a good kid. he's quiet. he's not too athletic. right. -the last thing he needs is to have a target painted on his back. i mean, ted's dad shot three people, for god's sake. you sent one of these arrangements, right?

do you? -you think this is what i want? i asked her to marry me! that's right. and this girl tonight, she's just-- that's another thing that's something complicated that just-- -wait a minute. complicated? what does that mean? i don't know what it means. well, i do. -it's not complicated. it's very simple. you're selfish. you want everything you want, when you want it, how you want it. what, you want me to lie to you? -you want me to tell you what a great job you're doing? how you're acting like a man? i'm not gonna do it anymore. i can't treat you like a man when you act like a child. you can't drink anymore, nicholas! -you can't use drugs! and you cannot continue to lie to the people who love you...anymore! lulu? hmm? you okay? -nick, what's going on with you? i was drinking last night. okay. i've been drinking a little. there's been a lot going on and... i've just been drinking. -drugs? something else. right. there's someone else. right. -suzanne pell? yeah. why? i don't know. you don't know? -i don't. right. lulu, i asked you to marry me, and you just looked at me like i was insulting you. you care about suzanne? no, not really. -i don't know. i want to marry you, lulu, and i want to be a good father to our child. you can just go. anytime, anywhere. you can take the child and you can just go. -tell the court that i'm some addict, some probationer, and that's it. you just go. and i'm alone. and i want to have this family. so you screw suzanne pell? -thanks, robert. way to go. yeah? hey, eric. how are you? -great. sit down. where's elson? he's, uh, not coming. what? -eric, the board members are not real comfortable with you running the company. comfortable? yeah. several of the key members think that you need, um... well, a little time. but it's my father's company. -it's kane paper. yeah, i understand that, but it's a publicly traded company run by a board. now, that board is sorry for your loss, but they're not prepared to make you ceo. we're still gonna close the palamar deal, though, right? i don't know. i talked to elson a couple hours ago and explained about the stress you're under and that you really didn't have the authority to sign that contract, but, uh... -well, i think he understood. i'm--l'm not gonna be ceo? no. no, not right now. i'm sorry. -right. down the line, you know, maybe we can revisit this whole thing... after you've had a little more experience and... right. i hid under the table. i'm sorry? -when huberty came in, i saw him pull out the gun. i was in the conference room with my dad and... i could've, uh... i could've... but i just hid under the table. you heard? what? -huberty's dead. right. right. i hope he sumered. hey. -sit down, nicholas. about last night, i hope you understand that it was just a... just a what? a mistake. well, i know that. -and i know that you've gone out on a limb for me with this managing partner thing, and i want you to know that i will not let you down. well, i don't think it's quite fair to the other partners. what do you mean? this is their livelihood, nicholas. their life's work. -they've gotta be sure their leader is responsible. i will be responsible. i can't do it right now. i'm sorry. i won't do it. -oh, hey, ted. hey, coach. why don't you come on in? brian and marcy are watching tv. why don't you hang out with them? -thanks, coach bernardo. see you. see you, ted. so... yep. -do you need any more... no, i'm okay... for now. just let me know what you need. i'll write you a check. great. -okay. nicholas has respectfully requested that i stay on as managing partner, at least for the time being. i privately suspect that he just doesn't want the old man playing golf every day. now i'm pleased to announce that our corporate revenue went up 20 o/o last last quarter. and jake here brought in two very important clients, the pierce holdings and halsey electronics. -also, the real estate department went up last quarter, to/o. keep that up, bob. excellent. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry, lulu. -### ripped by fabhawk ### previously on "alias. " thomas brill, michael vaughn. you bill vaughn's kid? he was my father. -he was a good man. thank you. the passenger is... your sister. according to rambaldi's manuscript, the hourglass will only reveal the location of the passenger to one man. -her father. sloane. and he's going to be dead in six hours. jack, i want you to meet marlon bell. he runs legal policy at justice. -i was telling the director how pleased i am you caught sloane. and if you don't mind my saying so, looking forward to seeing the son of a bitch die. i orchestrated this because and only because i need you. what's going on? your message said it was important. -you were right. about what? lauren's the mole. she works for the covenant. this was supposed to be over. -with sloane executed, we reached a dead end in our pursuit of the passenger. lauren is too valuable an asset. we can feed disinformation to the covenant. keep them from impeding sydney and jack's investigation. as soon as the passenger is located, -lauren will be taken into custody. meanwhile, weiss will maintain surveillance. i'm sorry. i wasn't sure i should come. i appreciate you putting aside your anger. -sydney, you were right. i did find evidence that sloane was assisting the trust in their pursuit of rambaldi. why are you telling me this now? sloane's dead. actually, that's why i called you here. -sydney. i was about to give director bell the evidence to clear sloane when i realized he was a member of the trust. i was unclear as to what their agenda was, but i did know executing sloane was part of it. the only sure way to save his life was to allow him to die. your father was kind enough to offer me a final glass of wine. -it was laced with a tetrodotoxin compound. it counteracted the lethal injection by reducing my cardiac and respiratory functions. mimicking death? that's right. whatever grief my apparent death might have caused you, -i wish i could have spared you the pain. when i heard you were dead, any grief was over the possibility of never knowing my sister. i did not grieve for you. i see. well, in the interest of finding your sister, may i have the hourglass? -i know you've been withholding something from the cia. even from the trust. why is the passenger important? what is your daughter's real value? while i was searching for her, i made a discovery. -i came across an old rambaldi text. in it, rambaldi prophesied that there would be a person, a passenger, who would be capable of serving as a direct conduit to him. the text contained a formula for an elixir. so i followed the instructions exactly. according to rambaldi, this elixir, if injected, would bring about an altered state of consciousness, allowing the passenger to channel a message. -this message is rumored to be the key to rambaldi's endgame. i sampled the elixir myself. hoping to make myself the conduit. it didn't work. it's meant only for her. -if the covenant finds her they will expose her to the elixir in massive doses. it will lay waste to her psyche. more likely, it will kill her. all i want to do is to protect my child. how do we find her? -we use this. i thought you were working from home. i just came past to pick up these files. i've been thinking about that trip to fiji. getting one of those bungalows perched on the ocean. -well, what about next month? be serious. i am. we've been talking about getting away for over a year. and visiting your mom in virginia doesn't count. -i love you. agent vaughn? who's this? thomas brill. jack bristow introduced us. -right. what can i do for you? there are some things you need to know about your father. meet me at the transatlantic building. by the freight elevator. -okay, i'll be there. thanks. who was that? just the dry cleaners. apparently i've had a suit there for over a month. -would you like me to pick it up? no. you've got enough work. i'll see you at home then. i told you that i worked with your father. -but i didn't tell you i was with him on his final mission. i know how my father died. you don't have a clue. yeah, he was working on something. an operation that wasn't sanctioned by the cia. -my father would never go against the cia. he was a follower of rambaldi. that's impossible. he died protecting the little girl. the followers knew she was the passenger. -he broke her out of kgb custody. but he didn't trust the cia, either. so he took her where she would be safe with other followers. the man you are describing is not my father. ladies and gentlemen, i have just been informed... that at exactly 49 minutes past 9:00 this evening, the battleship maine was blown up in ηavana ηarbor and sunk. -between 200 and 300 officers and men... are reported to have lost their lives in the explosion. while president mckinley has urged the people to remain calm, well-informed sources in washington expressed the opinion... that only a miracle can prevent war with spain. the army and navy have both been ordered to be ready for any emergency. a call for volunteers is expected momentarily. why do you, of all people, have to be a hero? -me? i'm shaking already. john i. sullivan's right. if spain wants to fight, why doesn't she challenge somebody her own weight... and get a reputation first? i'll mention that if i run into any of them down in cuba, heaven forbid. -in the meanwhile, we'll- governor! well, good morning, willie, lily. what are you doing here? enlisting, sir. what are you doing? -τhey still have bands in the marine corps. sure, sir, but i thought that you were too, uh- that i was too old? oh, no, sir. i just thought that- -never mind. whatever it is, you're wrong. right, sir. well, hello, young fellow. you got the war fever too? -all right. now don't hurry me. i know what you're after. let me see. oh, sorry. -not a penny. here you are, sir. oh, thanks very much, willie. here you are, boy. what's wrong? -you don't like spaghetti? sure, we love it. too much garlic? no, it's fine. you want some more chianti? -no, thanks. if you want something else, you better order because we close 11:00. nothing else, thank you. we just want to sit here a little longer. i've only got a few more minutes. -ηey, listen. why don't you get married so you have someplace to go? we are married. that's why we can't be seen together. oh. -you'll probably never write me. only every day. i suppose we better go. not yet. i'm going to kiss you- just once- then we're going. -in here? in here. good night. good night. good night. -thank you. a severe case of typhoid fever sent him to sea instead, there to write the music for dewolf hopper's new comic opera, el capitan. but even at sea there was a war to think about, and he- but let him tell in his own words what happened. i began to sense the rhythmic beat of a band playing within my head- ceaselessly playing- echoing and reechoing the most distinct melody. -though i did not know it then, my brain band was composing my most popular march, not one note of which, once i had transferred it to paper, would ever be changed. philip. as you can see, we're very busy. yes. i know, dear. -this just came in the morning mail. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. that was splendid. uh, lily, may i speak to you a moment, please? ask mr. hopper if he'd like to run through the "el capitan" march again, will you? -yes, sir. hello, lily, dear. ηello, mrs. sousa. i have a surprise for you. i've just had a letter from willie. -from cuba? yes. let's go over there and find out what the young rascal has to say for himself, hmm? sit down, dear. shall i read it, or would you rather read it yourself? -it's for you. you read it. "dear mrs. sousa, i'm writing to you instead of to lily... "because you know what a flibbertigibbet she is... and how she starts carrying on like a chicken with its head cut off at the least little thing." lily, a flibbertigibbet? -he's out of his mind. "i guess you know more about the war back there than we do down here, "but i thought i'd tell you about a little scrap we had at cuzco well the other day, "in case the newspapers didn't figure out it was big enough to write home about. "cuzco well was the enemy's only water supply... -"and naturally we wanted to get them out of there. "so 'c' company and 'd' company- that's me- "started out early one morning along with about 50 cubans. "it was only six miles from camp, but in this heat it seemed like 60. boy, was it hot. -just like washington in july." i don't remember that washington was so hot in july. then you have a short memory, dear. washington can be unbearable in july. hmm. -never mind. go on, jennie. "well, anyhow, it wasn't long before the spaniards caught on to what we were up to... "and cut loose on us. "luckily, one of our gunboats, the dolphin, -"was just offshore, and so we signaled them to start shelling. "but i guess they must have got mixed up, "because instead of shelling the enemy, they began shooting at us. "sergeant quirk, who is one of the real heroes of this war, if you ask me, "stood up in clear sight of everyone... -"and wigwagged to them to cut it out, which they did. but not quickly enough, i guess, because that's when i got it." he's all right, lily. don't worry. uh, you read the rest of it, dear. -"i guess i'm the a-number-one lucky fellow of this war... "because i only got it in the knee, "when i might just as well have got it where it would be really bad. "anyhow, as i was telling the doc last night, "if worse comes to worst and he does take it off- which he won't- -"one leg's enough for anybody who aims to sit around as much as i do from now on. "besides, like a fellow from west virginia was telling me, "'you can't tell wooden legs today from the real thing.' "ηe says he's gonna get a mahogany one so's he can keep it polished up. "but another fellow i know from mississippi says that's crazy... -"and he's gonna get himself a nice, soft pine one, "so's when he gets bored, at least he can do a little whittling. "τell lily i said that if she starts bawling... "or gets any crazy ideas about coming down here, "i'm gonna head for the tall timbers. -"the thing for her to do now is to go on and be a big hit in that show... "because from now on, she's liable to have to support me- and i mean in the style i'm accustomed to." we should have told you. we're married. yes, we know. -you know? almost from the beginning. it's been pretty difficult at times, i can tell you, not to let on. shall i finish? "i hope you and mr. sousa and the children are fine... -"and that el capitan's as good as everything else the governor's written- "or better, if that's possible. "well, i guess this will have to be about all now, "as it's time for chow, and you know me and food. "love to all, willie. -p.s.: tell lily i said howdy." golly, that dewolf hopper's sure got a powerful voice, hasn't he? you can go right in, mrs. little. hello. -mr. little, wake up. you have company. lily. well, what a coincidence. i was just dreaming about some of those señoritas in cuba... when all of a sudden i look up and- -i don't guarantee this show. usually just some of the fellows- kind of amateurish. we'll soon find out. did you know about this? of course. -i don't have to tell everything i know, do i? good evening, ladies and gentlemen. it's a great privilege and pleasure to be here with you tonight, and with your permission, i'd like to play a new march... which i've written especially for you men who fought this war. unhappily, we are missing one musician, a young man who plays not only a unique but an indispensable instrument in the band. by a strange coincidence, however, -i understand that this young man is here tonight. i'm hoping he'll come up here and help his old friends out on this occasion. how 'bout it, willie? go on, willie. ηello, willie. -hello, mr. sousa. can you still read music? i can read your music in my sleep. all right. come on up, young fellow. -there's the old monstrosity waiting for you. get over and let's see. hi, boy! how's the old kid, huh? english -us psdη (i love lucy theme music plays) (theme song ending) morning, lucy. -(thudding) ethel: oh, hey! i'll be right there, ethel. what did you lock the door for? -i almost broke my neck. i just wanted to see what would happen i just wanted to see what would happen if i did something different for a change. what are you talking about? life. -i've just been thinking about life. ethel, ricky and i are in a terrible rut. what do you mean? everything has become routine. we do the same dull thing every day. -we see the same dull people. thanks a lot. i didn't mean you. it's just that nothing new ever happens. why, i can tell everything ricky's going to say and do before he does it. -ah, can you? yeah, wait till he wakes up. you'll see. he'll call, "hey, lucy, is the coffee percolated yet?" then he'll come into the kitchen half asleep looking like a zombie... stagger over to the stove... say, "oh, i could have slept all day..." -scratch his leg while he pours some coffee for himself... kiss the air in my general direction... stagger off into the bedroom. it isn't funny, ethel. it's tragic. i know it is. you know, i just realized -i can do exactly the same thing with fred. i'll bet you can. right now he's sitting down with the morning paper to do the crossword puzzle. and just about this time he's discovered he can't find his glasses. so he'll call to me... -fred: ethel! he hasn't varied five minutes in 22 years. i'm up here, fred! he won't find his glasses up here. -oh, yes, he will. they'll be on top of his head. you're kidding. and when i tell him, he'll say "hmm. -if they'd been a snake, they'd a bit me." oh, no, he hasn't been saying the same thing for 22 years? 22... hi. well, you're in a jolly mood this morning. -ethel, have you seen my glasses? well, it must be hilarious that i can't read without my glasses. oh, it's not that, fred. it's just that... what a sense of humor. -i'll go break my leg and give you a real laugh. ah, wait a minute, fred. your glasses are on top of your head. huh? well, how do you like that? -if they'd been a snake, they'd a bit me. ricky: lucy! lucy, is the coffee percolated yet? i could have slept all day. -(kissing sound) it's fantastic, lucy. ricky and fred are cut out of the same mold. yeah, and they're getting moldier all the time. what are we going to do about them? -them? what about us? we're just as bad as they are. we've all let ourselves become four big, dull clunks. you know, i think you're right. -sure, i'm right, and tonight, instead of playing canasta, we're going to sit down and figure out the quickest way to de-clunk ourselves. do you all realize that we're in a terrible rut? in a rut? what are you talking about? the four of us have allowed ourselves to deteriorate. -yeah. we have become stuffy, moldy, and musty. we are knee-deep in a pool of stagnation. now, what are we going to do about it? well, i don't know about the rest of you, but i'm going to go and take a shower. -never mind being funny. now, sit down. we're serious. we certainly are. our lives have become a stale routine. -we do the same thing in the same way. we know each other like a book. well, honey, that's only normal. after you're married for 11 years, you're supposed to know each other like a book. it's the same after 25 years, only the cover gets more dog-eared. -listen, the kind of routine we're in is not normal. now, ethel and i went down to the library this afternoon and we found a lot of books on the subject. and? and the books all agree. this one states it as well as any. -"there are times when married couples let their lives fall into set patterns." that's exactly what's happened to us. right. "the only thing to do in a case like this "is for the marital partners to spend some time away from each other." what? -please. "change your whole way of living. "take a week's vacation from marriage "and don't even see your husband or wife. "vacation from marriage will give you both a whole new perspective." -so? so ethel and i are going to spend a week away from you and fred. you mean i won't see you for a whole week? that's right. and you won't see me for a whole week, fred. -well, i'll make the sacrifice. now, come on. are you crazy or something? what are you going to do, leave town? no, not necessarily. -i'll go downstairs and live with ethel. fred can come up here and live with you, and we'll just lead our own lives. we just won't see each other, that's all. isn't this going to be fun? we can sleep as late as we want to, go shopping, call up our old girlfriends. -yeah, we'll be just a couple of bachelor girls. i don't like the sound of this whole thing. now, wait a minute, rick, you don't understand. if they're going to be bachelor girls, we're bachelor boys. hey, that's right. -you might have something at that in there, yeah. well, good-bye, fred. good-bye, ethel. good-bye, ricky. good-bye. -i'll be seeing you. well, lucy, what do we do tonight? oh, i don't care. what do you want to do? how about going to a movie? -again? we've been to five movies already this week. well, it's saturday night and i don't feel like staying home. well, neither do i. maybe we can call somebody. -who? we called up all our old girlfriends. they're all married. yeah. they'll all be with their husbands on saturday night. -yeah, they're all in that awful rut we used to be in. yeah. they don't know what fun it is to be on their own like us. yippee. ethel... -huh? well, nothing personal, but... i'm sick of the sight of your face. well, you should try it from out here looking at yours. if you think this has been any... -all right, all right. let's not fight among ourselves. we're all we've got. how true. gee, i wonder what the boys are doing tonight. -i wonder. ethel, let's swallow our pride and go up and admit that we miss the big dopes. oh, no, lucy. they'd never let us hear the end of it. no? -i know what we should do. what? we should get all dressed up like we're going out on a mad date, and then we should go up and i should say that i want to get some of my good perfume. yeah, then what? well, then when they see us all dressed up and they think we're going out, they'll get insanely jealous and they'll demand that we go out with them. -fred get insanely jealous? listen, if they're as bored as we are, we'll even look good to them. now, come on, let's get dressed. well, there's no new movies. we've seen them all. -you know something, fred? i hate to admit this, but i'd like to see lucy tonight. i can top that. i'd like to see ethel. you know, if there was only some way that we could ask them without they thinking that we really miss them, you know. -(buzzing) what could that be? good evening. oh, hello. i'm sorry to barge in like this, but i wondered if i could get some of my good perfume. -why, sure. come in. won't you? come right in. gee, don't you look pretty. -(giggling) thank you. you, too, ethel. thank you, frederick. we were just talking about you. -you were? you were? ! um, i hope you boys are going to have as gay an evening as we are. oh, yes. -we've been invited to 21 for dinner. oh, ethel, 21 again? that's what the boys said-- 21. lucy: oh, dear. -well, we mustn't be late. i better get the perfume. pardon me, please. you, uh... you two really been living it up, huh? oh, yes. -we've been to 21 four times this week. that's 84. well, come on, ethel. so long, boys. so long. -uh... uh... uh... sorry we have to rush off like this. ethel, promise me something, will you? -um, let's be sensible tonight. let's get in before 4:00 a.m. okay, i promise. okay. well, so long, boys. -so long, girls. we could stay and chat for just a little while. no. we'll be late. you understand how it is. -yeah, we know how it is. we have dates ourselves. don't we, fred? yeah. yeah. -oh. well, so long. well, how do you like it here at 21? trés 98'! where do you suppose the boys went? -i told you 50 times. it's as plain as the nose on your face. they didn't have any place to go. they just said that because they thought we were going out. now, let's hear no more about it, shall we? -okay. okay. you think i'm right, don't you? i don't know. i wish i could be sure. -i'd sleep a lot better if i knew they were safely up there worrying about us. come on. where? we're going sneak up the back way and peek in our apartment. once we know the boys are there, -i think we'll sleep a lot better. hey, rick, why don't you come on to bed. you go to sleep, fred. don't worry about me. i'm not. -the slap of the cards keeps me awake. fred, you're just as worried as i am, aren't you? you know something, rick? i bet they didn't go out with anybody at all. they're just faking. -yeah, well, i tried to talk myself into that one, too. no, i mean it. if they had had a date, they wouldn't have come up here and made such a big to-do about it. yeah. ethel did kind of sort of want to stick around and chat, didn't she? -you know something, i bet if we went down there right now and rang the bell, they'd answer it. wait a minute. wait a minute. if we go down there and ring the bell, they'd know that we didn't have any dates. let's go ring the bell and then hide around the corner. -yeah, and if they answer, we know it's them. right. let's go. come on. oh, ethel, i was wrong. -they're not in there. i guess they did have dates. oh, where do you suppose they are? i don't know. go on. -let's go back downstairs. let's not go down the back way. it's too cold. fine thing. they're out someplace having the time of their lives. -fred: how did i know they really had dates? that's them. it's the boys. they're coming upstairs. -come on, down the back way. oh. it's locked. where do we go? the roof. -the roof? i just want to know who they went out with. yeah, so do i. well, i'm going to find out, too. how? -well, i'm going to stay right here and when i hear someone come in, i'll look down and see who lucy's with. i'm a little bit curious, too. let's sit down here. come on. -we'll wait right here. lucy, take another look. darn it, the watchdogs are still there. oh, why don't they go on inside? i'm getting cold. -gee, me, too. it's pretty windy up here, isn't it? oh, this is ridiculous. i'm going downstairs. ethel, where's your pride? -i don't know, but wherever it is, it's frozen. now, listen. just stay in here. it isn't so windy in here. now, let's just wait a few more minutes. -okay. that's long enough. lucy, it's stuck. let me try it. ethel, this isn't stuck. -it's locked from the inside. oh, fine. what do we do now? pound on it. pound on the door. -ricky? fred? ricky? fred? open the door! -oh, why don't they come up and open the door? you'll be glad to know they finally gave up and went inside. fine. what do we do now? i don't know. -i'm getting cold. so am i. and i'm tired, too. (wailing) ethel? -ethel, this isn't getting us anyplace. we got to... we got to... we got to be brave. yeah. we've got to get hold of ourselves. -yeah. we got to keep a stiff upper lip. (wailing) we got to find some way to attract someone's attention down on the street. how? -i don't know. i know. what? one of us could jump off and... and then a crowd would collect and then she could tell the people that i was up here. i hope you don't think i'm a bum sport, but let's think up another way. -oh, look. there's a light in that apartment across the alley. oh, that's mrs. sanders. i know her. mrs. sanders! -you-how.! yoo-hoo! mrs. sanders! mrs. sanders! she can't hear us. -the windows are closed. we got to attract her attention. how? here. (thumping) -that wasn't far enough. (glass breaking) that was far enough. too bad it wasn't mrs. sanders' window. oh, darn it. -she turned off the light and went in the other room. oh, boy. that was a big waste of time. no, it wasn't. the exercise kind of warmed me up. -well, what do we do now? ethel! what? our troubles are over. come here. -give me a hand. give you a hand? help me move this. move it where? look out, now. -let it fall right there. then what? right there. push. push? -push. push hard. there. there. put that box over here. -put the other one on top of it. there! there what? yeah? we walk across there, and, and... -and go down the stairs in the other building. you mean walk across that board five flights up? certainly. oh, no. oh, no. -you do it. listen, ethel. i've already done all the hard work. i thought it up. now, all you have to do is just tippy-toe across the board. -oh, no. listen, why don't you think of this board as just a foot off the ground instead of five flights up? huh? then it will be a cinch. if it's such a cinch, you do it. -all right. good girl! uh, come on. who, me? oh, no, lucy. -i'm afraid to do it. there's nothing to it. really. come on. will you help me? -it's easy. yeah. come on. it's safe. come on. -come on.

(laughing) -(i love lucy theme music plays) the atomic age begins. on a 7,000-foot plateau in a remote section of new mexico, american and allied scientists and technicians had worked and struggled for more than four years to the end that the horror of world war ii be quickly concluded. they succeeded. -since then, these same people and others like them have continued to work-- to invent, to improvise-- to improve the old weapons and develop new ones because the spirit of aggression is not yet dead in the world. but the atom is not all death and destruction. this, too, is a product of the atomic age. isotopes and other atomic techniques are saving lives all over the world. and the people-- the men and women who man the laboratories and factories of los alamos-- what of them? -their work is almost unbelievably dangerous. every move, carefully checked and double-checked. the slightest misstep is serious. anything more--disaster. outside the laboratories, the same checking goes on... -their daily comings and goings scrutinized minutely. and everywhere, the barbed wire... the gates, the signs... the guards. but they know it is necessary. absolute security is vital if the free world is to survive and if the atomic age is to at last free man from his long bondage to power. -this, then, is los alamos... the atomic city. i got a television set delivery for dr. addison--frank addison. get your clearance in the office. anything wrong?

my father. -yeah? your father an electrician? no, sir. a physicist. nuclear physics. -aw, sure. say... he one of them bomb makers? that's classified information. nobody's allowed to give classified information. -tommy. the gentleman will excuse you while you have lunch. i won't have time to help you. i'm going to the fiesta with my teacher. my son doesn't care about anything today except the santa fe fiesta prizes. -my boss had to donate one of them. he's giving them one of those 17.95 portable radios. the two-wheel bike's the best prize. come on, tommy. i've got three chances to win something. -boy! i hope it's a bike! hey, doc, if you don't win the bike, just build one of your own. that's a swell idea. chew your food, tommy. -i am. how much do bicycle parts cost?

they can't tell yet. -not for a few days. frank... yeah? why do we stay here? now, wait a minute, honey. -i'm not that upset. gus will be back in the lab in a week or two. don't you ever get tired of the barbed wire... having an fbi man on your heels every time you step out of the main gate? and the signs... "contaminated area. -restricted area. "don't give classified information. don't talk to strangers." don't do this, don't do that. i diagnose this as a mild case of jitters brought on by one inattentive husband who ought to know how to say hello to his wife. -hello. hello. what time we due at the dance? you want to go? i think it's what we both need. -i'll call for a sitter. you usually phone before this. hey. what's boiling up inside you, honey? if we're going to the dance, i'll need a sitter. -it'll keep. first, let's find out about you. this is the first hint i've had that you didn't like living here. oh, i didn't mean it to sound like that. you know i love our home, our friends. -i'm proud of you, getting to the top, all the recognition you've won. it's been wonderful for all of us. but what, honey? can't be the barbed wire and the signs... not after six years. -what is it? nothing that makes sense. well, then... talk nonsense, but tell me. maybe we've been forgetting tommy. -he's spent all but one year of his life in los alamos. you make it sound like siberia. what's wrong with living here? good schools, good climate... good companionship. -everything a normal kid wants and needs. are you sure, frank? sure. i've been wondering whether living in this atmosphere is normal life for a child. there are 4,000 kids living in town. -they look normal to me. i don't know. when i was a child, i'd say to my mother, "when i grow up, i'll be a nurse," -or "when i grow up, i'll be a doctor." it was always, "when i grow up." all kids talk like that. tommy doesn't. tommy doesn't say "when." -today at lunch, he said, "if i grow up." if he grows up... how normal is that? darling, you're magnifying a slip of the tongue into something gigantic. no, it wasn't a slip of the tongue. -tommy doesn't talk about the future. children in normal surroundings do. you did. i did. i'll get it. -addison? sign here, please. thank you. frank? frank! -excuse me, please. where's the nearest telephone? across the patio, señorita. thank you. yes. -yes. i'm very sorry, miss haskell. tommy should've told you he was going to leave early. i picked him up outside the hotel. but, dr. -addison, you had no right to do that. i ran all over the fiesta looking for him. it was horrible. tommy deserves a paddling for not telling me. i'm sorry. -i'm to blame. you certainly are. it was completely thoughtless of you. i'm sorry. tommy's ticket won the bicycle. -oh? oh, h-he'll be very happy he won. tell him he has one week to claim the bicycle. no, i... can't tell him now. -he... he--he went to the store with his mother. he'll have to present the ticket in the lobby of the la fonda. they're keeping the unclaimed prizes there. he must appear in person by next saturday. -yes. i'll tell tommy. * now promenade 'em two by two * * just get 'em on home, as you always do * * you honor your partners, corners all * -* and that's it, boys, that's it, that's all ** frank, i heard your tommy won the big prize this afternoon. yeah, that's right. lucky kid. you're talking about one of the country's top physicists. -and you're talking to a schoolteacher who almost stopped breathing this afternoon because of him. excuse me if i look a little confused. it happened at the puppet show. tommy just upped and left to meet his father outside the hotel. at least your top physicist might have found out if i knew tommy had gone. -hello? no, no esta. say, charlie, if elmer comes in, tell him to call his mother. may i, martha? you know you can't monopolize your wife, frank. -excuse us. look, gregson, i'm just getting some air. sure. alone. doctor, we're outside los alamos. -i'm tired of having a policeman at my heels every time i step outside the gate. you been aggravating the doctor? looks like it. all of a sudden, too... after going steady for so long. -he's probably upset about gus schambach. yeah. you running a story on him? just that he's been hurt. nothing on how it happened. -like the newspaper business? i'm getting pretty good. i worked undercover as a dishwasher one time-- watch it. my mistake. -did frank get to see doc schambach in the hospital? yeah. he was there most of the afternoon. oh? hiya, frank. -enjoying yourself? yeah. how's tommy? why? i heard you had to paddle him this afternoon. -no. no, i didn't. hello? hello! excuse me. -yes. hello? please, hello-- hung up. they just asked my name and hung up. -i hope nothing's wrong at home. no, no. everything's fine. when me and the missis are out, we always worry something's wrong with the kids. telephone rings, and we're scared. -watch it, darling. people are looking at us. frank. let's go home. good night, mrs. -addison, doctor. good night, gregson. they haven't hurt him. i have to call the police. no! -you know what they want. i can't do it. you know-- don't! i won't let you! -there isn't any choice! there must be some other way! there has to be. maybe they'll take money. i wish they would. -we'd raise it someway, somehow. but it isn't money, martha. how can you be so sure? you don't know. let me talk to them first. -please, frank! all right, darling. all right. we'll wait and see what they ask. we'll wait and see. -hello. yes. just a minute. excuse me, lady, are you mrs. addison? -yes. yes, i am. someone wants you on the telephone. hello. is this mrs. -frank addison? yes, this is mrs. addison. you know why i'm calling. you want your son back safely, don't you? -i do, i do. then tell your husband to play ball with us. tell him he doesn't have to worry that we'll ever tell what he did. he'll do whatever you say. now, tell me, is tommy all right? -he's fine. we won't hurt him, not if your husband follows instructions. here, tommy, talk to your mother. hello, mama. i'm all right, mama. -tommy, darling, mother will have you home soon, darling. you mustn't be afraid, dearest. i'm not afraid, mama. i've been treated very good. i can come home after daddy does what they want. -he will, darling. he will. tell them he will. you heard your son, mrs. addison. -can't i speak to him another minute, one more minute? there's no time for that. you better listen closely. i won't repeat this. get it right the first time. -yes. please tell me what to do. frank! frank, he's safe. i spoke to him. -you spoke to tommy? on the phone. the man wanted to prove he hadn't been hurt. they'll let him come home. tommy said, "i can come home as soon as daddy does what they want." -frank, the man promised no one will ever know. no, no one would... not until they've wrecked half the world. i only know that tommy is our world, frank, our whole world. all right, martha. i'll see what i can do. -what were the instructions? hello, doctor. i didn't think you'd be in on sunday. bring me the mark 3-b file, all of it. it's in your office vault, doctor. -thank you. i'll take that, doctor. i'm inspector mann, federal bureau of investigation. russ. what's he doing here, a newspaperman? -i stopped playing newspaperman this morning when i found out tommy was missing. that's the only file he mentioned to the clerk. was this going to be the ransom payment? the blind alley experiments we tried a year ago-- useless to anyone. your son is kidnapped, and you come to your lab just to pick up useless experiments. -i was searching for some way to delay the threat to my son. i have only 48 hours to deliver the bomb. these are intricate equations. if i sent them, it would give me time to think, to act, to know what to do. it would take very competent mathematicians several days to check these equations to discover they're useless. -well, if you're telling the truth-- and that's a big "if" we're going to check-- then sending these useless equations may be the way we'll flush them out. martha, this is inspector mann of the federal bureau of investigation. mrs. addison. who called them? you--you called them. -no. they found out i didn't go to santa fe for tommy. no one will know why we came here, martha. russ is a federal agent, not a newspaperman. get them out. -your husband said the kidnappers contacted you this morning. i won't answer their questions. it has to be done their way. their way! give him time to calm her. -i'm in a peculiar spot, inspector. the addisons have been close friends of mine for the past couple of years. that might help us. is this a recent picture of the boy? yes, very. -frank was telling the truth about that file. i'd bet on it. he wouldn't sell out, not even for his own kid. you're not a father, russ. i have two, two little girls. -i wouldn't like to have to decide between my kids and my country. how would you decide, inspector? i don't know. that's why i don't know if you told the truth about this file. i don't know which way you decided. -pardon me. is this the letter? they contacted your wife through a pay station phone? yes, she spoke to a man and then to tommy. i'd like to get the details from mrs. -addison. she'll answer your questions if you give her a little time. your coming here was quite a shock to her. yes, of course. it's entirely possible mrs. -addison didn't talk to your son. that could have been a recording. don't mention that to my wife. no. did she say what instructions they gave her? -everything we have on the h-bomb is to be delivered to a william masters care of the will-call desk, hotel belfort, hollywood. after they check, they promise to turn tommy loose. they probably would, rather than have it known they had the data. turn you into a traitor, and they have a pipeline into los alamos. they'd own the top scientist here. -they won't get that chance. i guess i'm to be placed in custody. we can't put you in deep freeze without attracting attention. we can't afford that. you'll be regarded as a calculated risk. -you've got to try to see our job, frank. the bomb means more than just one life. they said those same words to martha, but to her, tommy counts more than the millions. they're just numbers. tommy's very real. -maybe i won't be a very good risk, inspector. it might be wiser to place me in custody. if we have to, we will. even you can't be permitted to get in the way of what has to be done. our job is to keep the bomb at home, to apprehend the kidnappers, and to bring your son back safely. -that's the order of their importance, isn't it? 1, 2, 3. tommy's number 3. yes, doctor, i'm afraid so. i want to emphasize one thing. -we're dealing with top espionage agents, who have resorted to kidnapping, and we want them, and i mean every last one of them. that's a must. you're probably asking yourselves, "what about the boy? isn't getting tommy addison back safely more important?" -i'm giving you my answer to that officially. no. no matter how callous that may seem, your first job is to locate and apprehend the spies. russ farley will give you your assignments. connors, weinberg, summerton, check the route to santa fe. -maybe someone noticed the school bus being followed. davis, you stick around the hotel lobby. talk to the chamber of commerce people, the secretary, people around the hotel. we want to know who they are, what they eat for breakfast, everything about them, their families and friends. remember, don't panic people. -they talk to friends when they're scared. by tuesday morning, the phony formula on the bomb will arrive at the hotel belfort, hollywood. we'll be needing some of you there. it's here. o.k. to go ahead now? -sure. this is position harding. we're all set here. position melrose. everything o.k. -position sunset. o.k. this is junction. position harding again. now, keep those cameras ready. -let's have a routine check on all positions every half-hour. now, if anyone looks even vaguely familiar-- yes, i know. you've told us a dozen times. i remember. -when i see somebody from the puppet show, i tap you on the shoulder. that's the idea. i'm sorry i snapped, russ. it's just that i can't help feeling responsible for tommy being kidnapped. -you had nothing to do with it. this wasn't planned overnight. if it hadn't happened saturday, it would have happened some other time. the people we're dealing with know how to be patient and wait. stop worrying about it. -we'll get tommy back. but first things first. getting the spies is the important thing. it has to be that way. this is position harding. -it's 1:30. let's have another check. o.k. at sunset. may i have 72-cent stamps, please? yes, indeed. -there you are. thank you. are you holding a letter here for me, william masters? masters? -let's see, when would it have arrived? yesterday, a few days ago? no, today. this morning's mail. oh, this morning. -let's see, masters, masters. all positions, this is the pickup-- man of medium build, about 25, a black and white check suit, no hat. i'll be right behind him to identify. oh, yes, here we are. william masters. -thank you. you're welcome. there he is. know him? no. -he's headed your way, melrose. we have him. pick junction up in front of the hotel. take care of miss haskell and peggy, larry. this is harding to sunset. -check this license number. california. 1, "n" for nora, 58064. 1, "n" for nora, 58064. checking immediately. we're on beverly boulevard due west now. -we're leaving him. take over, junction. junction to harding. we're with him. license plates were issued to david rogers. -police headquarters says he has a record-- petty larceny arrests. their description fits this man. messenger boy. he could be heading for the ball park. that's where he's going. -we're staying close. this is white. inspector mann will beat the television booth. cushions a dime! 10 cents only. -be comfortable for a dime. get your cushions here! come on, be comfortable during the game. get your cushions, everybody. be comfortable during the game. -are you in charge here? yes. can this be kinescoped? it can, but it's just a local show. how many cameras have you? -two others and this with a zoom ar lens. this is the one we'll want. can it be kinescoped without being broadcast? sure. i don't have the authority-- -who has? the station manager. this is a government emergency. the man with the check suit going to the box behind third base. get the man in the check suit going into the third base box. -come and get 'em. get 'em while they're hot. hot dogs! you got him? yes, sir. -get me the boss, quick. his car's been searched. he still has the letter on him. tickets? popcorn and soda pop. -federal bureau of investigation. any seats available in this section? i'm not allowed to give out free box seats. cops usually go down to the front office if they want free seats. this uniform ought to fit you, smitty. -hot dogs! get your red hots! how about down over there? get 'em while they're hot. enjoy the game with an ice-cold bottle of beer. -go! go! he's safe! he's safe by a mile. safe! -safe! get your red hots. walk him! he's a danger! one. -plenty of mustard. he's a danger! pitch to him, you bum! pitch to him, you bum! he made it! -he made it! that a boy. got it! got it! junction to all positions. -junction to all positions. he's ready to leave. it isn't on him. he passed it. he had to. -that's why they got rid of him. maybe the movies we took will-- yeah. smitty, take over. we'll get a plane for washington. how long does it take them to get a projection room ready? -it's almost four days since they took tommy. well, it will still take them some time to break down that formula we sent them. i hope so. we all do. wishful thinking is even part of our business. -sorry about the delay, gentlemen. they're about ready now. how many will look at the film? every undercover party member we could reach. 30 or so. no bright lights are to go on in the projection room. -it's set up so the identities of our undercover agents will remain unknown even to each other. that you, harold? yes. farley's with me. over here at the light. -watch yourselves coming across. now, those of you who haven't attended one of these sessions before, listen to these instructions, please. just at your right in each booth is a panel with a switch and three buttons. these buttons permit each of you to start or stop the film, to back it up, or get it going forward again. if any of you recognize someone even vaguely familiar, press the stop button. -are there any questions? then let's start. this is the man used for the pickup. watch the hands and faces of people he meets or passes. don't hesitate, even at the slightest doubt, to stop the machine or run it backwards. -this is the ball park now, and you will have to try to pick out faces from among hundreds. notice that he had a reserved seat. our check shows it was bought at the main box office on the same day the boy was kidnapped. how much of it have we seen? roughly 6,000 feet, about half of what we shot. -what is it? i thought i saw something. i'm backing it up. that vendor, we were party members together in illinois. i knew him in detroit. -well, what have you got on him now? nothing. lost track of him in chicago two years ago. he called himself manfred reinerton then. uh, used the name charles morgan before that. -he was pete rumson in detroit. you got those names? yeah. what's that badge number? 72. -i'll get it, martha. oh. come in, greg. we've got a good lead, doctor. there's a plane waiting to take us to los angeles. -they picked up a man who may know where tommy was taken. i'll get mrs. addison right away. no, doctor. i'm only supposed to bring you. -oh? i'll be right there, dear. i'll just take a minute to tell her. doc, do yourself and your wife a favor, will you? don't build this up too high. -it's better to wait and see how good it cooks. you're right. thank you. thank you very much. i'll be right with you. -so i sold hot dogs for one day. why don't you cut a record on this? i wouldn't have to repeat so often. my name is donald clark. arrested twice-- ann arbor, inciting a riot. -served 10 days-- in here, gentlemen. hello, frank. have you found out? not yet. -we've been at him for hours. he's a very definite lead, though. take a look at him. this is one-way glass. he can't see or hear you. -ever see him before? never. i'll tell the inspector you're here. donald clark, age 33. you the night shift? -somebody might lose his temper and slap you into the middle of next monday. easy, russ. yeah, that's not very democratic talk. you remember what they taught you in washington? your book of regulations says--and i quote-- -"no prisoner shall be subjected to physical punishment by any member of the bureau or in the presence of any member of the bureau." when you're walking that last mile, you can recite the whole book of regulations. dr. addison's outside. dr. addison? doesn't know him. -how is martha? it's over five days since they took tommy. they haven't hurt him, not while they think you've done business with them. they still need time to break down that phony data, don't they?

probably. at least he knows where the letter went. -then make him tell. we'll keep at him, but he knows the ropes too well. we can't beat it out of him. no? you can't either. -i can't let you, frank. i didn't write the bureau's book of rules. rules! who cares about your rules?

no, thank you. you behave yourself now. -what's wrong? the letter was a plant. they were stalling. who? we're not waiting to see. -dr. rassett and myself needn't climb any further. remove everything traceable after you've finished with him. want him left inside the pueblo? it's immaterial. it'll save time. -we can seal up the entrance with rocks. all right. we'll wait below. aah! they've outlived their usefulness. -i don't think they would talk. that's a rather theoretical conclusion. perhaps they won't talk, but i prefer to make certain. hey, ernie! the kid's gone! -where? how? never mind that. get kalnick! something's wrong. -he got out through the chimney. all right. we'll find him. we've got to find him. he can identify us. -there he goes. let's not behave like chickens with their heads off. he's the headless chicken, not us. there's no other way off the mesa. dr. rassett will stay here. -we'll flush him out. help! please help! help! help! -help! please help! i can't get through. we'll have to burn him out. and have the smoke bring the forest rangers?

frimousse. and you? you're gorgeous carry on playing -come on, maestro, don't stop the music he'll live, won't he? yes, he's just fainted call a doctor, quickly at the end of the corridor -you're needed, doctor where is he? on the stairs are you a doctor? yes, but i'm not here to... -you only have to cross the room. someone fainted on the dance floor remember me? last winter in nice. we danced together -i remember the rain stopped us this time it won't. i'm delighted to see you again. you're ravishing -are you thirsty? georges, champagne! i'll be back at once i can't... we're unlucky with dances -these are too tight. they'll take an hour to undo i'll cut them off. can i have some scissors? fetch some scissors. -hurry up your cognac, doctor not now what's wrong? don't worry. -you'll be fine what happened? where's frimousse? i'm here you'll see her later. -keep still where do you live? rue des a... rue des amiraux it's the other side of montmartre -at the end of the rue des poissonniers you can go home to bed my word! rue des amiraux hold my hat -go and dance not alone go on, quickly come in, ladies and gentlemen baron... -it was a big but shabby house a house full of miserable wretches and with grimy stairs i can't go any further come on, you're nearly there what about frimousse? -what? she'll be waiting she can wait is it the next floor? yes, ring twice -but your wife must be sleeping no, she has insomnia what is it now? it's nothing come on -he fainted in a public place at a ball you knew? it's not the first time he's ended up flat on his face that's a relief -come in he ate nothing at dinner to be lighter, but had a drink to be merry mind the steps why is he so keen on dancing? i'll tell you why. -so people think he's young under the mask so women take him for a dandy and let him whisper dirty things to them so he can rub against them with all their perfumes, powders and creams can you help me pull off his sleeve? that's it -and now the shoes. that's harder that's it if you think he'll move later to make room for me, you're wrong i'll have to sleep elsewhere -you playboy so he acts the young man at balls all the time. you can't imagine the state he's in when he comes home what drives him to it? -regret. he's not what he used to be he was once greater than all the tenors and generals he still looks good for his age, doesn't he? i'll make him a hot-water bottle -are you surprised by his past? you didn't know him in his prime when i met him, i was hooked hooked like a fish on a line he was so sweet i could have cried -he took me home and i never left him not for a day, despite everything are you married? yes, thankfully or he would have left me like the others. -i've been his wife and maid what did he do? he was first assistant at marcel's the hairdresser's? yes, by the opera house. -all the actresses used it i'll get a face cloth the richest asked for ambroise ambroise? yes, him -he made a fortune in tips they're all the same. when they fancy a man, they take him. it's so easy i spent nights waiting for him -he'd finally come home bright-eyed he'd say to me: "another one, denise" what a man! he felt the need to boast about it -some men derive more pleasure from talking than doing they called you because you were on duty? no, i was there you're probably not married, then when you are, it'll be different -i hope so men just have to hunt... but he's older now when i saw his first white hair, i did my housework with a lighter heart after two years, he was unrecognizable -women weren't after him any more so he started going to dances it became an obsession he's calling i'm all alone -i'm sorry i told you all that... please, don't apologize. i've learnt a precious lesson doctor... give me your address in case he gets worse -i don't think you need worry. he could go on for years like this that's good. i want him to live long and carry on dancing the doctor had witnessed a scene from the eternal drama played out every day in so many forms and settings -to the 'palais de la danse' i didn't just write sad stories would you now like something more cheerful bawdy even? a fairy tale for grown-ups? it's quite a long story based in normandy in a small channel port -the setting is not exactly residential if you understand my meaning it's the story of a house not exactly a block of rented flats but how can i put it without shocking you? it was a house but a very well kept house men would go there every night meeting in little groups -they were respectable - shopkeepers young men they would drink and fondle the girls or talk to madame whom they all respected too late madame was from a good farming family and saw her trade as no different to a milliner's or linen maid's there was less prejudice in the countryside -farmers said "it's a good trade" and sent their daughters to run harems as if they were girls' schools the house was inherited from an uncle the new owners closed their inn and embraced this new venture they took over a business which lacking management had been failing -they were nice people and the staff and neighbours liked them instantly monsieur died two years later his new position had made him lazy and fat and he died of a stroke the house had two entrances on the corner was a shady cafe open at night for workers and sailors -two girls looked after the needs of these clients louise dressed in the theme of liberty and nicknamed 'pet' and flora known as 'swing' for the shocking way she swayed her hips looking like kitchen maids in fancy dress they enticed men to drink look at these curls. you have lovely hair -they worked with frederic the waiter a tall dark-haired boy strong as an ox the other ladies formed a kind of aristocracy staying upstairs in the drawing-room with their clients fernande played the pretty blonde and raphaële the indispensable beautiful jewess i thought of you earlier -rosa only stopped drinking to sing and singing to drink give me another it's the last one 'bye, darling. see you tomorrow -'bye, fernande. see you tomorrow my cardigan hello, rosa i'll call raphaële -all clear monsieur dupuis, don't get cold above the door was a lantern i apologize but i cannot hide it from you it will now be turned off because it must be dark for the story to start -one night at the end of may the first to arrive poulain a former mayor found the door closed anybody there? hello, duvert poulain! where are you going? -over there. aren't you? don't bother. the house is closed very funny -i'm not joking i'll go with you if you like, but i assure you it's closed there are sailors outside you, upstairs! you see? -it's closed. so is the cafe the police must have locked it i would never have allowed it when i was mayor that's how wars get started -let's go. i don't like it if we were found here, we'd look... we'd look like what we are it's not worth it -the men shouting are english. they're used to fights in their country, it's like fencing look it's tourneveau -of course, it's saturday my dear friend, i have some sad news we've just been to the house it's closed, i know where are you going now? -do you know another place? i'm afraid not. i was going back to make sure, but if you're certain... let's go for a walk. it's a beautiful night -why were you so keen to make sure? you're forgetting i'm married with children. i only go out on saturdays you single men are lucky. you can go when you like -we don't have families but loneliness is tragic, isn't it? worse, even let's walk, then. it's a beautiful night -yes, it is the three men met young philippe the banker's son a regular and pimpesse the tax collector then dupuis the insurance broker then vasse the judge what's wrong? -is it closed? what's happened? why? what a shame their walk took them to the jetty -it's beautiful yes, it's beautiful - the foam on the crests of the waves yes, the monotonous sound of the sea it's beautiful it's not funny -no, you're right it's typical it shuts on a saturday why? it's bad news for tourneveau that's right -i'd had such a nice dinner of ceps this time of year? obviously not picked locally yes, from around here there are no ceps around -i should know. i ate them but you didn't pick them locally no, my eldest daughter did she spent two hours in the woods picking them -she spent two hours in the woods picking...! what are you laughing at? my daughter knows what she's doing oh, yes she's almost 17 -i don't know what she's almost, but she's something! you're insulting my daughter as former mayor, i say the tax collector is wrong why? i found out many things when i was mayor -like what? what tax collectors earn a new altercation started between the former mayor and dupuis about tax collectors' wages and perks insults flew and they'd have fought if the others hadn't stopped them you're a scoundrel -i'll sue you for slander he's welcome to see his solicitor. i won't let him get away with it he's not heard the last of it how can they argue over nothing? -you call that nothing? at your age, you should be in bed, not criticizing respectable people he's only young so i'm wrong? i didn't say that, but he's young -boredom brought out the worst in them for a saturday it's quite a day gradually calm returned to the troubled town only one man still roamed in hope of god knows what the house was closed for a first communion -madame's brother was a carpenter in the country he knew his sister was doing well and thought of a family reunion for his daughter's confirmation so on saturday morning madame and her friends took the express have a nice holiday, ladies what's this, flora? -i'm hot. i never wear so much where do you think you are? i thought i was in your house don't be so insolent -"a diplomatic conflict between bolivia and chile" it's so far away "there are fears of war in the pacific" what does "pacific" mean? it means peace -tickets, please they've been checked i'm checking again at beuzeville a couple got on the man was an old farmer wearing a blue smock and an ancient top hat -his wife wore a rustic outfit and looked like a hen mind the calf yes, yes that's what you said last time, and it fell off no longer alone the ladies became serious to make a good impression -madame rosa it's a fashionable tune the viscount taught it to me. do you understand? your husband? -how is he? not bad, my dear he's away in paris what husband? her husband, pet -you don't know him he's incredibly thoughtful he sends me dresses and jewellery every day even flowers we drink champagne with every meal -he kisses my hands he tells me wonderful things sadly i've forgotten them as the train was leaving bolbec in jumped a bearded man carrying a stick and wearing gold jewellery he was weighed down with luggage -julien ledentu, traveller madame tellier and... so you're off to a new garrison? don't be so rude i meant to say a new monastery -you've left your pond? you'll soon meet the spit they won't come out. they must have lost their knickers maybe they need braces -here are some braces they don't want them, but these ladies might whatever for? to give to your lovers, of course i mean one lover per lady, obviously. -the one dearest to your hearts the heart doesn't need braces how lovely. you deserve a reward "the heart doesn't need braces" -look at these ready? here are the goods look at these garters they're silk and i have them in all colours -i'd like the blue ones here they are pink ones for me here the red ones -there you are lilac ones to match my eyes to match your eyes, there you are these are bigger, more imposing for our boss -for the boss, there at motteville the farmers got off with their ducks and umbrellas the woman was unhappy damned hussies - just like in paris you're right. -they're worthless are you coming? now, my little kittens, let's try them on really? for the last time, have some respect -fine, i'll take them back you could have had them for nothing if you'd tried them on silk garters in all colours free what did you say? -i said "free" come on, gorgeous it's worth it stop it it'll only take a second i'm telling you, he pinched me -you expect too much for a few garters you can't get something for nothing some men would give diamonds but still act decently, even in a tunnel don't come knocking on my door. you'll be turned away -at the next station joseph rivet was waiting with a white horse and a cart fitted with chairs i'm so happy to see you me too! mind the present, raphaële this is madame louise -give me your case madame flora madame fernande won't you give me a kiss? and madame rosa -hello, give me your case hurry up hello, monsieur it's joseph did you have to kiss them all? -i'm polite what about me? i've kept the best till last you still didn't have to kiss them we all have to fit in the cart -mesdames raphaële, fernande and flora can sit in the front you remember all their names? i'm not stupid thanks for the chairs i'm not used to carrying such a precious load -it's usually wood or pigs. you know how it is don't we just! i didn't mean any harm julia, you can sit next to me -what about me? between us no. raphaële, sit here fernande, over there -and flora at the back with louise and me? madame rosa can sit behind me no, she's the lightest. she'll sit on madame fernande's lap -that's badly arranged watch the road it's still badly arranged look after your horse, come on green countryside unfolded here and there yellow rape spread out like a tablecloth flooding the air with its powerful scent -a sweet smell carried by the wind amidst fields wreathed in earth's flowers the cart and its even brighter blooms advanced at the horse's pace at times the cart disappeared behind large trees to emerge later into green and yellow fields dappled with red and blue carrying these stunning women in the sunshine is that the service? yes, the absolution -is your girl there? of course. children need religion. they can always give it up later i'll fetch her -not now. let's not disturb the cherubs. we'll carry on what a shame hello, marie -thank you for coming my pleasure my wife, madame rivet did i hurt you?

why not just call me a peasant? city men are no match for you she knows what she's talking about -can't we have a laugh? this is a communion, not a funeral everyone had to fit into the limited space for that night rivet in the workshop on wood shavings julia and marie in the main bedroom -next door fernande and raphaële louise and flora in the kitchen but rosa couldn't find her cubby-hole above the stairs at the end of the corridor good night -it's so dark the village was cloaked in a deep almost religious silence a peaceful penetrating silence which climbed as high as the stars tell me what? -i feel tense i'm shivering all over it's because it's so quiet you think so? it's strange -you're not sleeping? are you afraid? what are you listening to? the silence is driving me mad i can't sleep a wink. -i'm unsettled i can't sleep neither can i but i'm all alone. i'm not used to it -join the carpenter you're mad. on a night like this? it would be bad luck what is it? -it's me i'm coming in what's wrong? i'm scared scared? -i'm scared without mum do you want to come with me? yes, i'd like that this way you won't be scared any more hold on -your doll? there's no need to cry you won't be scared with me you're not scared now, are you? are you comfortable? -take your doll sleep well my darling at five o'clock the little church bell woke the ladies who usually slept all morning to rest from their busy nights the light ringing of the small bell rose to the sky like a weak voice soon drowned in the blue immensity already high the sun shone in a radiant sky still pink on the horizon with the fading traces of dawn -communicants were emerging in their sunday best parents walked awkwardly their bodies more used to the rigours of hard work the little girls hidden under clouds of snowy tulle like whipped cream gathered with the nuns meanwhile the boys looking like miniature waiters their hair sticky with pomade walked carefully to keep their new trousers clean here he comes -victoire! here they come the glory of having relatives from far away embracing your child! the carpenter's triumph was complete the tellier regiment followed constance walking majestically like soldiers in uniform -the effect on the village was stunning how are you? congratulations they're ladies from the town want a seat? -they'll sit here thank you, mayor there was no need but i'm so honoured these ladies bring us the scents of the town -i'm going behind you can sit there is that the mayor? that's right he's handsome -madame rosa, do you think he's handsome? that's a matter of taste. i think you're better looking nearer my god to thee nearer to thee -such is my humble wish i will wait every day there in my saviour's love nearer my god to thee nearer to thee like the spark that spreads fire through a ripe field -rosa and her friends' tears spread to the crowd in an instant men women old people young men in new smocks everyone was soon sobbing above their heads something superhuman seemed to hover an all-pervading soul the great breath of an invisible all-powerful being -don't cry, madame rosa dear brothers and sisters i thank you with all my heart for giving me my greatest joy ever the feast was held in the workshop on long boards resting on trestles the gaiety was still a little reserved after the morning's emotion -but a jolly tipsy rivet was giving his speech for the fourth time ladies i want to thank you again? you've done it you can never thank people enough -that's why i want to thank you for coming to our little family party and for bringing with you your beauty and youth how sweet we have to go not yet. -i must thank you thank you for thanking us, but we must catch the 3.55 no, never as long as i'm alive you won't take the 3.55 after coffee, there's a nip of brandy -and then another one and then dinner no dinner and no brandy. they'd never forgive us closing for two days i understand, but... -what?

i mean your flock to the country the ladies will tell you. -they're still moved by it all in the meantime, the champagne is on me frederic, ten bottles of champagne for monsieur tourneveau here comes the champagne how much? -ten francs a bottle it's gone up again? for you, six francs then how kind we don't celebrate everyday -if you were as generous in love... why not? you'd agree? today i want everyone to be happy i can't believe my ears -frederic, i want flowers everywhere the evening was turning into a ball a real celebration a wave of pure joy washed through the house people were still dancing at midnight you've seen pleasure and purity coming together -'the mask' related the battle between pleasure and love now we'll see pleasure battle death not a physical but a moral death it's a little tragic but it ends with a marriage the anecdote is told by a parisian columnist to whom i'll lend my voice of course it's him. -i've known him for twenty years why did he marry that poor woman? out of stupidity, as ever still... there's no "still" about it. -we're stupid, so we do stupid things for the couple over there, it all came about in a strange way the girl risked everything i say "risked", but what do i know? you can never tell with women -they lie without knowing or understanding it in spite of this, their feelings are genuine and their sudden reactions confuse us and turn our plans upside down i was there when they first met jean summer hesitated between different styles but hated nudes he didn't know the pretty girl was a model -he was captivated by the way she walked her childlike sensual face her slightly gaudy elegance and her divine waist her name was josephine it wasn't her fault she didn't know her fate would be decided in this gallery and what a fate! he fell in love with her -she thought he loved her with all his soul when you love a woman you think you can never live without her endlessly promising to be forever faithful he lived with her time to eat let's take a break -do you love me? yes, and you? for me, it's over i'll kill you i'm too young -i'll kill myself, then women always say that but i'll do it concentrate on lunch for now what are we having today? -lovely fish wonderful big ones? no idea. i haven't opened the tin -sardines, then when you're famous, we'll have salmon we'll be too old to enjoy it such is life, my love. old age and salmon, youth and sardines -why do you keep looking at me? i never tire of it you're ravishing and... and? and i like you -and you love me, i hope and i love you could you live without me? i don't think so you need to be sure -i'm sure i love what you do you do the most ordinary things with extraordinary grace when you lean over when you get into a car or raise your arm -when you hold out your hand when you eat sardines. i've never seen anyone eat sardines like you for three months jean didn't realize she looked like all the other models anyway his new style was popular -i'm buying no.8 and you are? monsieur leconte congratulations. it's sold -sold? thank you you've sold you've sold, my darling you know what? -we'll rent a beautiful country house but not a new one. an old farm we can do up that's expensive it'll be fine -and trees. there'll be a tree that's been struck by lightning not like that, then. like this i witnessed their first argument -it happens to us all familiarity breeds contempt to spend your life with someone you don't need lust which soon dies but similar minds temperaments and moods we were walking silently in the woods imbued with the river's coolness cutting through our bodies and drowning our minds in happiness suddenly josephine shouted did you see that big fish? -yes, i saw it no, your back was turned true. i wasn't thinking so don't say you saw it -will you go to paris tomorrow? i haven't decided yet do you think walking silently is fun? clever people usually talk what about you? -it's relaxing. people talk too much about nothing you mean me? not particularly. everyone -be quiet, please why? does it bother you? yes, you're spoiling the walk what? -you didn't always say that the dreadful silly scene began with unexpected reproaches then tears you'd be nothing without me three months later she was fighting the invisible ties of the relationship in which she was caught what time do you call this? -i come home when i like meanwhile i cook your dinner and wait for you. you think i'm your maid? if you don't like it, fine you want me to leave -they argued all day insulting each other and fighting you're not going out give me that key give it to me you're hurting me -give it to me don't touch that at least you're working it's all i enjoy he needs more and more money -he's smitten or it's for a parting gift i doubt it. painters can't do that you've really left this time -well done i couldn't throw her out thank you for taking me in it's only right we won't be in each other's way -we'll be fine together we both have our professions what will she do? what can she do? put your things down here. -you'll soon forget her i'll make up your bed by the window don't worry. it's not your fault she became unbearable maybe i became unbearable first -because you'd had enough when it starts to break down... have a seat maybe i was wrong was it love or pride? -anyway she searched everywhere for him no one had seen him she waited for him every night one night around nine o'clock jean was working he thought he'd escaped -it's her, isn't it? i don't think he can... i should have known he was here. you've always hated me i don't want your money -or your letter or your dismissal i won't be treated like a tart i didn't go after you you begged me, you took me -so now keep me are you going to stalk me until i die? let me explain it to her there's nothing to explain listen, my dear -i have something to tell you. don't make a scene don't take life so seriously. it's no use he still loves you. -it's just that... he still loves you, but it's the same old story his family wants to marry him off. he has to agree do you understand now? -i understand very well so no scene, all right? don't worry about me. i can't hear a thing he says you're getting married -if you do, i'll kill myself i swear if you get married, i'll kill myself kill yourself, then you shouldn't dare me i'll throw myself out of the window -it's upstairs upstairs what? there you are when she was found with broken legs i thought he'd go mad with remorse -whether he wanted to make amends or was touched by her crazy act he married her because his life was over, all he could do was work that's the whole story won't you say hello? he never forgave me for interfering. -he was wrong he found love, glory and fortune isn't that happiness? still, it's very sad but, my friend, happiness is not a joyful thing -the end house of pleasure we tried many ways to offer you 3 of my stories. i think the simplest way is to tell them myself. i've always liked the night. -i'm glad to talk to you in the dark as if i were seated next to you. maybe i am. i'm worried because my tales are old and you are modern. but we'll see. here's the 1st one. -there was a ball at the dance palace that night. the orchestra's call burst like a storm of music. it split the walls and spread everywhere. come in, ladies and gentlemen! have a dance! -the crowd poured in like a torrent from the 4 corners of paris. people from all classes who loved noisy pleasures that are a bit naughty. office workers, pimps, and girls... lots of girls! girls in common cotton as well as sheer batiste, old diamond-laden ladies looking for their youth, poor 16-year olds wanting fun with big-spending men. -dress suits hunting for young flesh, tasty, deflowered youth, roamed among the excited crowd, searching and picking up the scent. in their midst appeared a man, thin and dressed as a dandy. he looked like he was from a wax museum. a strange caricature of a stylish young man. ladies and gentlemen, our great quadrille dancer, mr. granval! -he danced awkwardly. he seemed rusty as he tried to imitate the others. he seemed stiff. he was as heavy as a pug-dog playing with greyhounds. you dance well. -you're lovely! music! music! maestro, don't stop! will he die? -no, he just fainted. a doctor! over there! we need you, doctor! you got him! -up there! he's up there! i didn't come here to... he's over there! a dancer who passed out! -don't you recognise me? last winter at nice? we danced together. indeed! we got separated. -not this time! come along! i'm glad to see you. you're lovely! sit down. -thirsty? george, champagne! i'll be right back. but i can't! i... -he's tightly laced up. i'll have to cut him free. get me some scissors! scissors! hurry! -brandy, doctor? not now! well? don't worry, it'll be all right. what happened to me? -prevost? i'm here. you'll see her later. don't move! where do you live? -admiral st... the other side of montmartre... at the end of fishmonger st. go home and go to bed. don't move! admiral st.! my hat! -go dance! not alone! the building was tall and shabby, inhabited by a miserable, ragged crowd. the stairs were gummy. i can't go on! -courage! we're almost there. and funny face? she'll wait? she'll wait. -another flight? yes. ring twice. your wife'll be asleep! no, she has insomnia. -good lord, now what? it's nothing. he suddenly felt weak in a public place. at a ball? you know? -it's not the 1st time he's had a fall, jumping about. you reassure me! he didn't eat, so as to be more lithe. then he had an absinthe, to perk him up. careful! -3 steps! why does he insist on dancing? i could tell you plenty! so they'll think he's young! so the girls'll think he's a gay-blade and... let him whisper dirty talk and rub against them with their scents and pomades. -help me with the sleeve. now the shoes. that's the hard part. that's it. and don't think he'll make room for me later! -i'll have to sleep just anywhere! sensualist! he plays the young man at the dances. all of them! he comes home in such a state! -what demon drives him to it? regret! that he's no longer what he was! he had lots of success. more than any tenor or general! -isn't he handsome for his age? i'll fix a hot-water bottle. surprised at his success? you didn't know him back then. when i met him, i was completely hooked. -like a fish on a pole. he was so kind as to make you cry. i went home with him and never left him... in spite of everything. married? -fortunately! if not, he'd have left me like the others. i was his wife and maid. he worked? he was no.1 at marcel's. -marcel? the hairdresser? by the opera, with all the actresses. i'll fix him a compress. ambrose did the rich ones. -ambrose? that was him! they gave him a fortune in tips! they're all alike. when they like a man, they have him! -it's easy! i often waited for him all night. he'd come in, his eyes shining with content. he'd say... "another, denise!" what a man! -he had to brag about it. some men take more pleasure in talking of it than in doing it. but you're dressed for an evening out! no, i was there too. no doubt you're not married. -when you are, it'll change. i hope so. odd how a man has to chase after them! but that was his youth. now he's aged. -the day he saw his 1st grey hair... i cleaned the house singing! a man can change so quickly. in just 2 years! the women stopped wanting him. -so he went to the dance halls. as if in a frenzy! it's him! i'm all alone! sorry to bore you with all this. -but you've given me a good lesson! doctor! give me your address, in case he gets worse. i don't think you need worry. he'll live a long time yet. -good! i want him to live and... go on dancing. the doctor pondered the eternal drama that is acted out daily, in many ways, in all worlds. to the dance palace! i don't tell only sad stories. -would you like something cheerier? shall we say...spicier? a fairy tale for adults! it takes place in normandy. it begins in a small channel port... in a not quite residential neighborhood. -i don't know if you see what i mean. it's the story of a house. not a business house in the usual sense. it's a house... how shall i say? i don't want to shock you but it's a "house". -but a well-kept house! each night at 11, the customers came by. the 6 or 8 regulars never varied. not revellers but respectable merchants and young men of the town. they teased the girls a bit or chatted calmly with madam, whom they all respected. -too late! of good peasant stock, madam had adopted her profession as if she were a milliner or draper. violent urban prejudices don't exist in the country. a peasant says "it's a good trade..." and sends his child to run a harem as if it were a girls' school. -the house was a legacy from her uncle. she and her husband sold their inn, thinking the new business more profitable. they took over the place that had languished in its owners' absence. they were worthy and well-loved by their employees and neighbors. in 2 years the husband died of apoplexy. -his new job had made him inactive and stout and his health throttled him. the house had 2 entries. on the corner was a gloomy tavern open to sailors and laborers. 2 ladies saw to the customers' needs. louise, dressed as liberty and nicknamed cocote and spanish flora, known as swinger due to her hip movements. -they looked like dishwashers in disguise. they urged the men to drink. they were aided by a waiter named frédéric, beardless and strong as an ox. the 3 other ladies formed a sort of aristocracy reserved for the 1st floor, for those in the jupiter room. fernande was a pink and white country girl. -from marseilles, raphaële played the jewish beauty. rosa only stopped drinking to sing or singing to drink. a little more! that's all! bye, darling! -your vest! i'll call raphaële! thanks. mr. dupuis, don't catch cold! over the door burned a small lantern. -sorry, but it will have to... go out for the story to begin. one evening in may, the 1st to arrive, mr. poulin, wood-merchant and ex-mayor, found the door locked. anyone there? duvert! poulin! -where to? same as always! not you? don't bother! nobody's home! -i know it's nobody's home! i'm not joking. i'll have another look with you but it's closed. you see! closed! -the café, too! the police must've closed it. as mayor, i'd never have allowed such a thing. that's how wars start! let's go! -i don't like this! we mustn't meet a soul! we'd look... like what we are! it's unnecessary. -that's the english yelling. they're used to fisticuffs. for them, it's like fencing. look! tourneveau! -yes, it's saturday! i have sad news for you. we were... you know where. closed? i know. -i was there earlier. then where are you going? to another place? i was only going back for conscience's sake. but since you say so... -let's walk. it's a nice night. what's conscience have to do with it? you forget i'm a married man! a father! -i go out only on saturday! you bachelors are lucky. you can go whenever you wish! because we don't have homes! solitude is tragic. -isn't it? worse! let's walk. it's a nice night. yes, a nice night. -yes... a nice night. the 3 men met young mr. philippe, the banker's son, another regular and mr. pimpesse, the tax-man. then they met mr. dupuis, the insurance agent. then, mr. vasse, the commerce arbitrator. what's wrong? -it's closed? what happened? such misfortune! they went down to the jetty. beautiful! -the foam on the crests of the waves! the monotonous sound of the sea... beautiful! not very cheerful! indeed not! -it had to happen on a saturday! and i had such a good dinner! mushrooms! in this season? not from around here! -yes, they were! not from this region! but that's what i ate! you didn't find them in this region! no, but my elder daughter did! -she spent 2 hours in the woods picking them! what are you laughing at? she knows how to! she's 17! i'm sure she knows how to! -you've insulted my daughter! as ex-mayor, i think our tax-man is wrong. as mayor, i learned many things. such as? well, a tax-man's salary is... -a fresh dispute arose between mr. poulin and mr. dupuis about a tax-man's salary and possible gains. insults flew on both sides. the others kept them from coming to blows. scoundrel? we'll see! -i trust he'll see his lawyer. such behavior! why argue for nothing? you call that nothing? you should be in bed and not arguing with your elders! -he's still young. i'm wrong? no, but he's young and we should... boredom had made them bitter. for a saturday it's an odd saturday! -peace settled over the troubled town. yet one man still roamed, cherishing vague hopes. yes... "closed due to a 1st communion." madam's brother was a carpenter in their native village. he knew his sister was doing well. -so he invited her for his child's 1st communion. therefore, on saturday morning... madam and her ladies boarded the 8:00 express. have a nice holiday, ladies! what're you up to? -i'm not used to so many clothes! where do you think you are? with you! don't be insolent! "a diplomatic crisis between bolivia and chile." -that's far away! "possibility of a war in the pacific." what's "pacific" mean? peace! tickets, please! -you already saw them! i'll see them again! a peasant couple joined them. the husband wore a blue blouse with wide sleeves plus an old tall hat. sitting upright, his wife had a face like a hen, a nose like a beak. -watch that calf! yeah. you said that the last time... and it fell! no longer alone, the ladies became serious to make a proper impression. -madame rosa! it's a popular tune! the viscount taught it to me! your husband! how is he? -not bad, my dear. he's on a trip... to paris. what husband? cocote! her husband! -you don't know him, dear. he's extraordinarily thoughtful. he sends me... robes every day! and jewels! flowers, too! -we drink nothing but champagne. he kisses my hand. he tells me things... so marvelous! but i've forgotten them . at bolbec, at the last minute, a panting gentleman arrived with a beard, cane, rings, and a gold watch-chain. -he was heavily laden with a suitcase and parcels. julien ledentu... traveller. madam tellier and... the ladies are changing barracks? please be civil! -sorry! i meant to say "convent". leaving the pond? going to be skewered? don't dare hop out! -lost their panties! they want my garters! no, they don't! but the ladies do! what for? -to give to your lovers! sorry! to give to the love of your heart! it needs no garters! lovely! -that's worth a reward! the heart needs no garters! careful! here's the merchandise! garters! -silk! all colors! i'd like the blue ones! here they are. the pink! -the pink ones! red! here are the red ones! mauve! mauve! -to go with your eyes! these are larger, more dignified! for a mistress! yes! here! -the old couple left with their basket, ducks and umbrella. the old lady was annoyed. hussies going to that devilish paris! true! they're of no interest! -coming? now, my little pussies! let's try them on! sir, i must ask you to mind your manners! then i'll pack them up. -i'd have given you any pair you tried on. silk! all colors! for free! what? -i said, for free! pluck up your courage! a bargain! flora! later... -it'd only take a second. garters don't buy familiarity! sacrifices can be costly! some give diamond garters! and they behave in tunnels! -such a cad! i'd never let you enter my house! at the next station, joseph rivet awaited them with a large chair-filled cart drawn by a white horse. careful with the parcel! louise! -hand me your suitcase! don't i get a kiss? this is rosa! rosa! pass me your suitcase! -hurry up! i'm joseph. no need to kiss them! i'm polite! so start with me! -i saved the best for last! time to get everyone into the cart! raphaële, fernande and flora can sit in front. you know their names! i'm not thick-skulled! -thanks for the chairs! i'm not used to such a precious cargo. usually it's planks or 2 or 3 pigs, you know? yes, we know pigs! i didn't mean anything nasty! -all right, julia, sit next to me. and me? rosa can sit between us. not at all! raphaële! -fernande, there! flora, in back! louise, in back, to balance us! and me? behind me. -she can hold on to... no, rosa's the lightest. she'll sit on fernande's lap. we're not well-seated. you just drive! -we're not seated right! just see to the horse! the green landscape stretched along the road. flowering rapeseed... in sheets of rippling yellow spread its strong, wholesome, sweet and penetrating odor far and wide. past the fields colored by nature's flowers drove the cart, with its own garish bouquet, drawn by the trotting horse. -it vanished behind tall trees to reappear beyond the green screen, flaunting its dazzling bevy of ladies among the yellow and green crops flecked with patches of red and blue. the children? it's their absolution. and your daughter? constance is there! -children need religion so they can choose later. can we see her? no, not now! mustn't disturb the cherubs! pity! -hello, maria! how nice! my pleasure! my wife! i hurt you? -of course not! hurry! she's hungry! i'll fix a nice omelet. our turn! -i'll get my cider. you've never had any like it! your daughter? you'll see her later. here's miss constance! -hurry! kiss auntie! she's grown! hello, treasure! beautiful! -some ladies are waiting for you! say hello to each one! how pretty she is! so sweet! looks like her mother! -nice kid! the present! from your aunt! use a knife! hope you like it! -here's your dress! it's too pretty! you like it, darling? i can see business is good! i mean... business! -watch what you say! the good lord understands things! don't tear your dress! hook it first! hurry with the pins! -not all at once! she's so good! like her father! says you! never saw such a dress! -what would you know? you take me for a peasant? you're better than many city men! see? she knows as well as you do! -let's have fun! it's a communion, not a funeral! space being limited, sleeping arrangements were made. rivet slept in his workshop. his wife and sister were in the main bedroom... next to fernande and raphaële. -louise and flora were in the kitchen. rosa was alone in a tiny attic room but she couldn't find it. end of the hall! good night! it's so dark! -the boundless silence was almost religious. it enfolded the village, calm and penetrating, reaching to the stars. well... what? i'm all excited. -i've got goose-flesh! 'cause there's no noise. think so? it's odd, huh? can't sleep? -are you afraid? what is it? the silence is deafening! my heart's upside down! i can't sleep. -me neither! i'm not used to sleeping alone! go find the carpenter! not on a night like this! it'd be bad luck! -who is it? it's me. i'm coming. what is it? i'm afraid. -i'm scared without mama. want to come with me? i'd like that. that way you won't be afraid. wait! -your dolly! you mustn't cry! you won't be afraid with me. you're not scared now? all right? -sleep well... my darling. at 5, the angelus bells vigorously roused the ladies who were used to a full morning of well-earned repose. the bells' plaintive tinkling rose in the air only to die away, like a feeble voice drowned in the blue. the sun was already high in the radiant sky with a hint of pink on the horizon, the pale after-glow of dawn. the communicants came out. -the parents, in their sunday best and... with the clumsy movements of weary laborers followed their offspring. the girls were lost in clouds of tulle as snowy as whipped cream. they lined up near a nun in a stiff coif. the little boys, like miniature waiters with plastered-down hair, walked with wide-spread legs to avoid spots on their trousers. a family's glory was measured by the number of relatives from far away. -the carpenter's triumph was supreme. the tellier regiment followed constance on parade like a general staff in full uniform. the village was overwhelmed. city ladies! need some room? -they can sit here. thanks, mr. mayor. i'm honored to see such fine ladies who have brought us a breath of the city! i'll go in back. sit there! -he's the mayor? yes. handsome! rosa, you think he's handsome? it's a question of taste. -i think you're better. like a spark setting fire to a ripe field, the tears of rosa and her friends swept the assembly. men, women, old folks, lads in new smocks... soon all were sobbing as if something supernatural were hovering over them, the emanation of a soul, the mighty breath of a being who was invisible and omnipotent. you mustn't cry, madam rosa! -dear brethren, dear children, i thank you from the bottom of my heart. you've given me the greatest joy of my life. the feast was served in the shop on a long trestle table. the merriment was a bit subdued due to the morning's emotions. -but rivet was happy and ready for drink. he made his speech for the 4th time. ladies, i too wish to thank you. you said that! already! -you can never say thank you enough! so i want to thank you for coming to our little party, so intimate... and like one big family and for bringing with you your beauty and your youth. that's nice! time to go, joseph! not now! -i have to thank you! and we thank you for thanking us! but we want the 3:55 train! never! not as long as i live! -you'll not take the 3:55! after the coffee, we'll have a nip! and then another nip! then... supper! come on! -no supper and no little nip! closing for 1 day is all right, but not 2! i understand... but even so i have to thank you! after you've harnessed up! the ladies must pack. -come along, ladies! everyone downstairs in 5 minutes! please, louise! hurry! behave yourself, flora! -we'll eat in the cart! she forgot... flora! get dressed! sorry, but if we're to be on time! -hurry up, joseph! harness up! i'll harness, i'll harness! you can't imagine! thanks again all the same. -joseph! come here! obey your sister, joseph! what a scoundrel! i'm telling you to come here! -you're a disgrace to the family! joseph, do as i say! for a family day, you could've at least... i can at least say thanks. now what? -me? nothing! you were with rosa? of course i was with rosa! i had to thank her! -they were all so nice! i'll harness up now. now listen, maria! they're like family, no? it's awful to harness up now! -it's time to get going! they set off, like the day before. the white horse trotted briskly along. the sun drenched the flowering fields and the ladies couldn't resist it. alas, 'tis gone! -my dimpled arms, my legs so trim are yesterday's charms! why did you make me so pretty? of that, i know not a thing! unless god calls to me -my confessor shall know nothing! when i went up to your room i'd been drinking... an' was overheated. so... don't be mad at me, eh? -thank you. quick, ladies! don't miss the train! raphaële! fernande! -hurry up, children! we won't miss it! watch those high heels! let's go! we could've had fun. -there's a time for everything! is the train leaving? it won't go without you! i think there's room here. but me! -i'm sad to see you go! all aboard! maybe i'll come see you next month! all right, but don't act silly! goodbye, madam rosa! -see you soon! see you soon, madam rosa! that night the tiny lantern announced the return of the flock to the fold. the news spread like wildfire. have a nice trip? -mr. philippe even sent a message to mr. tourneveau, the fish-curer. a sailor brought a note. bad news? he seemed happy. mr. tourneveau, the fish-curer? -yes. you have a letter for me? what is it? read it yourself! come at once. -the cargo of fish has... returned to port. they've returned! my hat! a ship was missing? i don't burden you with all my worries! -they're back? i guess. they're back? madam? in her office. -raphaële! have a nice time? a real vacation! madam? upstairs. -i'm glad to see you again! and i'm glad to see you! it's good you're back tonight. if not, the week would've been sad! oh, i was already bored! -where did you go with your cargo? i mean, your flock! the country! they'll tell you all about it! the champagne's on me! -10 bottles of champagne for mr. tourneveau! how much? 10 francs each! not a very friendly price! for you, 6 francs a bottle! -will you be as generous with your favors? tonight! what? you agree? i want everyone happy tonight! -i can't believe my ears! frédéric, flowers everywhere! it turned into a regular ball, a real celebration! a wave of joy swept over the tellier house. at midnight the dancing went on! -you've just seen pleasure meet purity. in "the mask", pleasure met love. and now... pleasure and death. not true death. -a moral burial. a bit tragic, but it ends in marriage. the tale is told by a parisian columnist to whom i'll loan my voice... as i often do. yes, that's him. -i've known him 30 years. why'd he marry that poor girl? for the same reason as any marriage! folly! even so! -there's no "even so"! no cure for stupidity! for the couple you see, the accident happened in a special way. the girl risked everything she had. risked? -who knows? who knows anything about women? they lie without knowing or understanding. yet the honesty of their feelings and their sudden reactions baffle our logic and upset our plans. i witnessed their first encounter. -jean hesitated between landscapes or genre painting. he hated nudes. he didn't know the girl was a model. he was entranced by her walk, her childlike, sensual face, her quiet elegance and her divine waist. her name was josephine. -as she passed, she had no idea her fate had been settled. and what a fate! he fell in love with her. she thought he loved her completely. it's curious that when you want a woman you believe you can no longer live without her. -well, he believed he loved her. he swore fidelity to her and lived with her completely. the soup! all right, at ease! love me? -i adore you! you? it's over! idiot! i'll kill you! -pity! so young! i'll kill me! all women say that! i'd do it! -fix lunch instead! what're we having? some lovely fish! great! big ones? -wait till i open the can! sardines! when you become known, we'll have salmon! you won't be able to eat it then! that's life, my love! -old age and salmon... youth and sardines! why do you look at me that way?

"babalu"! -(drums start playing) (ricky drums loudly) (band starts) well, lucy, we'd better get out of here. we've got to check out of this hotel and get home in time for dinner. -oh, but i'm so tired after that performance at the club all afternoon. it was worth it. think all the publicity ricky's going to get. yeah, but why did he have to sing so many songs? 25 numbers and every other one was "babalu." -if i'd had to faint one more time, i'd have fainted. well, let's get out of here. okay. (knock at door) listen, if that's another reporter, don't let him in. -yes? where is her highness? hey, wait a minute. where is her highness? what do you want here? -i want to... your highness, you are in terrible danger. things are not going good in franistan. franistan? oh, wait a minute, now, who are you? -chief of franistanian secret police, amjan xanadu. well, i'm lucy ricardo. you do not have to conceal your identity from me. you bear the mark that is borne only by women of royal franistan family-- red and black hair. look, this is just a wig, see? -please believe me, you are in great danger. you're not a patriot. you think you are, but you're not. you're a crook. you sell fake documents, you prey on poor people... you're sick. -if you're looking for "sick," look in the mirror. you are a disease. a poison. what did you say? -did you do this to me? al... i'm on it. there are always your kind... my kind? -secret police who don't wear uniforms, who hide behind names like "corporate protection" and "security forces." you're all the same. security forces don't... i saw him. -i saw his face. al: take it easy. carrie: what happened? -you fainted. emts gave you something to stabilize your blood pressure. how do you feel? uh... i feel like an idiot. -for fainting. where's goodacre? being booked on forgery and fraud. he's a crook, but he's not our guy. how long was i out? -about ten minutes. i was going to put triscuits on your forehead, like at new year's that time. um... we gotta... we... we gotta get going, because i... i... -i saw his face. you remember the guy? yeah, i saw his face. something goodacre said, i... i saw him when i was chasing nikos. -i know i saw him. oh... it's okay. no, no, no, no, it's not okay. it's not okay, because i... -i saw him and i can't remember him. and that thing you just said about triscuits at new year's, i don't even know what you're talking about. i don't remember it. carrie... it's gonna be okay. -homobatrachotoxin. al: what? extremely rare. amazonian hunters tip their arrows in it. -our guy must have had it on the cart. i put dr. miller on it and i think we've come up with an antidote. this is good. webster: we have no idea how much of that stuff you absorbed. -and the poison is so rare... ooh, that's a big needle. yeah. ooh, okay. okay. -ah... ow. ow. carrie: how long till it takes to work? -an hour, maybe two, but there really is no data on the antidote, so... you may feel worse before you feel better. if i wake up tomorrow, we know it worked, right? (sighs) al: carrie. -i don't care if we catch him. i do. no more jokes, no more dodges, no more walking out of rooms. i lost you before, for nine years. all this: the job, the city all of it. -if you're not in it, it's meaningless. please... let me take you to the hospital. at least until we know the antidote is working. i have to know i did my best for you. you've always done your best for me. -and taking me to the hospital won't prove that. hey, guys. you want a room, or, uh... you want to catch a killer? hmm... since your memory's gotten a little shaky, -i've been trying to come up with my own version of what you do. so i went back to the goodacre interview, and i looked at what motivated you to turn and head for the door. you guys were talking about private military contractors. so i did a search of pmc's in that region of nigeria during the time of the oil spill. this is what i found. -it's custom forces! i... i saw a... no, i can't remember. they were in charge of the security on the linear oil systems nigerian project. -look who's on their board. al: so, all our victims were on custom forces' board of directors. exactly. and besides senator carlyle, there's only one member that's still alive. -al: the honorable logan sale, retired. jay: this guy's the chairman of the board, and he only comes to town and goes to his office one day out of the month. and it's today. -my arm is killing me. that a symptom? no. did you see the size of that needle? man: -i understand your concern. you bet i was worried. everybody in our circle is. no offense. but we're running out of time on this. -i need you to tell us everything you know about the custom forces board. rarely meets. nothing controversial in the work we do. except for the linear oil systems disaster, right? that wasn't our problem. -hmm? we protect sensitive locations all over the world. we neither condemn nor condone what goes on in those locations. now i think i'm gonna be sick. this is why we keep the work we do hidden. -it's misunderstood. are you okay? um... yeah. i just need to get some water or something. uh... do you... ? -where's the ladies' room? to the right as you go out the door. thanks. al: excuse me. -i'm going with you. what? no, al. come on. i think i'm old enough to go pee-pee by myself. -not like this you're not. all right, listen. this isn't cavanaugh's. and it's not a tuesday night. you remember cavanaugh's? -yeah. i do. after truth or dare, we, uh, we went to the bathroom and we made out. boy, we really... we really made out. it's working! -the antidote. (laughs) what day was it? um... (grunts) summer. -it was summer? mm... i'm going with you. wait, wait, wait, wait. june 13, 2000. -we forgot to lock the bathroom door. and it didn't matter. no. all right. i'm gonna go by myself. -okay. hey? you sure you don't want some company? maybe after this is over. it's a date. -yeah. sale: you know, now that you bring it up, there was one thing tied to the nigerian operation that was odd. we had to fire our top supervisor in the field. and he didn't take it very well. -august kincaid, former cia. old-school spook, full of himself, but very effective. he just lost control one too many times, especially in and around the nigerian situation, so we had to fire him. he was belligerent and upset. the... the job was his entire life. -it was like we took everything from him. not healthy. so this isn't about an oil spill or nigeria at all. this is about a guy with a grudge. a very dangerous guy with a grudge. -(sighs) okay. (groans) (door opens) hello? -um... how you doing? i'm good. i'm fine. thanks. you know you're in the men's room, right? -yeah. didn't make it to the ladies' room. sorry. little hung over? no. -no. something you ate? listen, i'm a... sandwich vendor on this floor. i got a bottle of seltzer in my cooler. i don't think seltzer's gonna fix what i got. -but thanks. (clears throat) you know? you look familiar. uh... have we met? -i don't think so. no. no, i'm... i'm pretty sure. i mean, a lady like you makes an impression. -are you hitting on me while i'm about to throw up in a sink in a men's bathroom? are you really... ? are... are you hitting on me? come on, man, that's... -sorry. sorry. at least let me get you a bottle of water. i'm really, i'm fine. no problem at all. -important to keep yourself hydrated. yeah. ooh. number one cure for what ails you. (groaning) -hey... you okay? hey, you okay? (grunts) (laughs) oh, come on now. -you're playing me? in your condition? bad luck for you. i didn't mean to dose you, but what could i do? you should've let my partner go. -(groans) (grunting) (coughing) (laughing) (grunting) -(screams) (yells) (both grunting) (groans) you're done, kincaid. -(panting) who are you? carrie. it's me... al. -got you. (laughs) (huffs) (groans) (siren wailing) (indistinct announcement over intercom) -hey. so, they are gonna keep you overnight. just to be sure. aw! that sucks! -they don't even have jell-o. "jell-o"? (laughs): yeah. it's a long story. -well, the short version is that when i was a girl, my mom had appendicitis, they put her in the hospital, and every night they would give her these, you know, these little packages of jell-o. and i would steal them. and i would eat them. and basically it became a lifelong craving. mm-hmm. -i never knew that about you. well... some of the most sacred memories, it takes a while to reveal them even to the person you love. (guitar plays "blackbird") wow. you know, with kisses like that -i'm really glad i didn't lose my memory. because i will be able to play that in my head over and over. no, no, what are you still doing here? we're headed over to alonzo's. just updating some new protocols. -jay, we caught an international assassin and carrie is still alive. you can go home early today. you talk to al? how's she doing? she's doing good. -that was a close one, huh, boss? close enough for a beer. on me. okay. hold on... foreign or domestic? -let's go. okay. (yawns) that's foreign and domestic? 'cause a beer is a different thing. excuse me, i'm looking for detective wells. -uh, well, i'm her boss. how can i help you? oh, pleased to meet you. eddie martin. i'm her husband. -(short laugh) look what i got. (gasps) no, no, where'd you get this? i told 'em i got a girl upstairs needs her jell-o asap. -i pulled the badge. you did not. did you? i did not. i went across the street to the deli. -you're very sweet, you know that? well, i didn't want the moment to slip away. moment's not going anywhere. to the moments. all of them. -(plastic clacks) (phone vibrates) want to see this? choking on jell-o? can't choke, here... -no... you... will you do one shot of it? what do you mean... no, you got to suck it. space. -humankind has been gazing into its infinite vastness for millennia. here we are pushing the boundaries of our knowledge, venturing out into... what? what are lego minifigures doing out here? what the heck are toys doing in outer space? -to answer that, first we have to start our story back on good old planet earth. here in the u.s.'s pacific northwest, a boy named thorin makes last-minute preparations on his battle scene. in the netherlands, rosa is building a car in her living room. in shanghai, china, yuhang celebrates his birthday with a new lego set. and in denver, colorado, -eben, like so many around the world is sprawled on his living room floor playing with lego bricks. this is what we expect, right? after all, around half a billion people grew up with lego bricks. there are over 100 lego pieces for every person on the planet. but this story... but... -can you hear me out there? there. that's better. what? what's wrong? -why are you looking at me like that? oh, oh. there. how's that? now, i know. -i know. you recognize me, right? featureless yet functional hands. interchangeable hair. perfect golden, uh, tan, i guess? -but this story's not about me. well, not entirely. this story is about a simple toy that became, well, more than a toy. and how its unique properties ushered in a new era of creativity, not just for kids, but for a whole generation. this is about more than the brick. -this is beyond the... no, hang on a second. beyond the brick! a lego brickumentary! ooh, look at that. -that's awesome. at the annual toy fair in new york city the world's toy manufacturers gather to show off what they hope will be big products for kids. lego is, let's face it, undoubtedly the greatest success story of the toy industry. they have become the number two toy company with simply one category of toy, and that's construction. and that's up against giants like mattel and hasbro. -mattel has hot wheels. they have barbie. hasbro has gi joe. and they've got other lines. and lego just has lego. -when other toy companies look at lego, they look at them as a powerhouse. when you look at a four billion dollar brand and that's going to continue to grow this year, it's amazing what they've done. it's become a monster brand of the toy business. so how did the lego company become so huge? i can explain that, but i think i better park this thing first. -recognize this baby? yeah, good old number 497. galaxy explorer. it had these cool yellow-tinted windows, all these 2x2 computer bricks, and, uh, these things. it's just a small part of the lego brand's fascinating history. -let's take a moment for a little primer on how the toy began. oh, no, wait a second. there we go. much better. many people know denmark as the home of ready-to-assemble furniture. -sadly those people are wrong because that's sweden. denmark is home to hans christian andersen, delicious pastries, and the birthplace of, you guessed it, lego bricks. back in 1916, a danish man by the name of ole kirk christiansen lived in the quaint little town of billund denmark. a carpenter by trade, he started a small wood shop which burned to the ground. not a great start but ole would not be dissuaded so he built another one. -in the new factory he was inspired to build toys. by the 1930s, ole was known for his pull toys made from birch wood. trucks, trains, and of course ducks. it was around this time that ole came up with the name lego. it comes from the danish phrase leg godt, meaning "play well." -then the factory burned down again. but with ole's perseverance, it was rebuilt again, this time mostly for making wooden toys, until a fateful day in 1947 when ole was visiting a toy fair. he came across a new contraption, a plastic molding machine. ole brought the first one back to denmark, though not everyone was impressed. at first, ole used his hand-powered molding machine to make simple plastic toys. -but then his son godtfred had a brilliant idea. i remember my father, for him, the system was very, very important, to turn the bricks into a system of play. the brick in itself is, of course, a simple structure. but with the number of bricks, you have endless possibilities. the idea stuck, and the lego system of play was born and continues to this day. -in fact, bricks made in 1955 still work with bricks you can buy today. the bricks were great for stacking, but still had room for improvement. the christiansen solution was clutch power. what is clutch power? clutch power is the result of the patented studs and tubes design that holds the bricks together. -and allows them to whew... come apart. then in 1960, the factory burned down again. yeesh. what are they building these factories out of, anyway? but ole went back to work, and despite those pesky fires, his company continued to grow. -this magic formula of an ever-expanding system with its locking bricks made lego toys something that appealed to kids everywhere. what started as a danish endeavor became a global phenomenon. helping with this expansion of the company was oldest grandson kjeld who you met before. you might recognize him from some of the earliest boxes. cute kid. -personally i feel kjeld's greatest contribution to lego history was his role in the development of lego minifigures, or minifigs. hey, guys, still no arms, huh? they obviously improved on that design over the years. but what really catapulted the company into greater success were the new theme sets, like castle and space. and later, licensed themes like star wars. -hey! and harry potter. whoa, whoa. whoa! yikes! -today the lego company makes more than 100,000 pieces a minute, and has become one of the biggest toy companies in the world. but not without first experiencing some serious challenges in having to redefine itself along the way. but we'll get into that later. and just think, all this from a humble carpenter in billund, denmark. ooh, sorry. -no clutch power, i guess. billund is still the heart of the lego company and lego minifigures are still made here. handsome little devils, aren't they? okay that shot kinda freaks me out. billund is also home to the lego design team. -here, inside the design room, the lego sets of tomorrow are being dreamed up today by designers. everybody i meet says that i have one of the coolest jobs in the world. it's fantastic to be able to create with these bricks. we have our desks full of lego all the time. it's like being a child for the rest of my life. -for many the only limitation of building with lego bricks is your imagination. but for the designers at the lego company it's a much more regimented process. we're always working within a system based on these lego bricks here. there's not an infinite amount of possibility. the constraints becomes the challenge, if you will. -then it's those constraints that are interesting to find how do we make it work. you have to think about how kids play with lego, which is something that we always have in our minds. if you're five years old, it's a lot harder to build with smaller bricks than it is for an eight-year-old. at the core of the design process is one guiding principal. the design process really starts with an idea of a story in a universe. -we really take a starting point in who these characters are, where they're living, what they're doing. story provides context for what you're doing. it gives you and kids especially a meaning. it sort of helps to unlock their imagination in new ways. we were just trying to put together color combinations we haven't done before. -jamie berard is one of the company's design stars. he's the creative lead for the expert building series. today he's showing his boss his new parisian cafe model which will be revealed to the public soon. what i really hope to highlight at brickcon is the storytelling. for example, the gentleman on the balcony has actually got a little bit of a surprise, and he's got this ring in his hand. -that will help him hopefully marry his girlfriend. the job, it's amazing. i don't want to oversell it that, you know, there's rivers of chocolate milk and massages on tuesdays. you know, it's a job. but it's an amazing job. -you almost wonder, like, how long can this last? is this for real? another coveted job at the lego company is that of master builder. like the designers, master builders are, well, masters at building with lego bricks. but they get to think outside the box. -so as a master builder, we get to do everything it takes to make our models, we design models, we do a pretty good mixture. we do everything from little tiny models, all the way up to human beings. it's always going to be different. every model poses its own challenge. sometimes it's the sheer size of the models. -ultimately, at the end of the day, it's really just pushing the bounds of what you can do with lego, being creative and being artistic and all these amazing things. today the master builders are working on a huge project that'll be seen all over the world: the setting for the lego movie. the nicest thing about working for lego is that we have all of the pieces we need. it's something that most people would just dream of. -for this particular city, i got to sit down and order whatever i wanted. as far as the plot of the movie, i really don't know a lot about it. um, there's a lot more than just this that's going to be in this movie, that we're all working on at the same time. and it's a monumental undertaking. -weeks later, their lego city arrives and is reassembled by paul's team on a soundstage in los angeles. it serves as the setting for the live action sequences in will ferrell's basement. okay, clearing guys, please. action. yeah, it's been kind of crazy, we've had, uh, we're shooting for five days of live action and the movie's mostly animated. -and we've built this ridiculous lego model back there. we built it ourselves. personally, with our bare hands. actually, we had a team of super master builders. and it turned out pretty awesome. -it's pretty ridiculous. these guys have been working on it in connecticut for, like, three months. and then, of course, the first thing we do is go, okay, we're going to smash all of this. so there's a city, there's sort of a castle world that we're calling middle zealand. there's a pirate ship. -some classic space stuff from '79. we heard we would get some free legos. yeah! i'm literally doing this for one classic space ship. hey, phil, have your people call my people, we'll hook you up. -maybe we can do lunch? so, this movie set is pretty impressive. but the master builders in the czech republic are working on even bigger things. in kladno, we produce big models for legoland parks and for lego markets. there's a lot of different stuff we can do. -what people don't know is we have computer programs where model builders see the layers. there is not visible every single brick. there is steel construction inside. we are looking forward to the biggest project we've ever built. it's secret. -nobody should know about the project. so there, this is the interface. working with jaromir on the secret build is american project manager dale chasse. okay, so we'll convert all this stuff from millimeters to inches. i have the most interesting project on my plate right now, than i've had in the whole 21 years that i've been with the lego company. -we're secretly designing and building an x-wing fighter, life size. but what's really cool about this project is we're copying one of our sets that you can actually buy in store. it's actually the item number, 9493. and you can build this set at home. but what we've done is we've built it 42 times bigger than this. -this is going to be the biggest lego model ever built. even we can't believe this will be a reality. we have a big team here. there is a designer, there is technical developer, and there is team of model builders and mechanics. the beginning of our process is design. -then in technical development, it's about designing internal steel construction. we have a lot of challenges in front of us. we don't have much time for every single step. there will be eight tons of bricks used. so they have to produce the bricks for us for a couple weeks in billund. -it's crazy. the x-wing is 44 feet from wing tip to wing tip. it's 45 feet from bow to stern. it's 11 feet tall. it weighs 44,000 pounds. -and took 17,000 hours to build. finally the x-wing model is ready to cross the atlantic, where its adventure will continue. but we'll get back to that later. lego was definitely part of my childhood, it was, uh... me and my brother had a big box filled with everything, um, just passed down from my parents. -but it was more of the blocks rather than the sets. and any time we'd get a set, it would be like one of the small ones. and you'd always look at the big kits in the shops and be like, "oh, i want that." and as soon as i came into money, i was like, "what should i buy? -house? nah. car? nah. lego." -my album went gold in a week, and i wanted a way to celebrate. the first thing that i bought was the death star. the main thing that it does is it, it brings out a bit of your childhood. which is important not to forget as well. you know, it's good not to take life too seriously. -growing up, legos was more like this to me. it was more, you know, the bin of chaos. i was like, "oh, no, who would... why would you get legos to be told how to put them together?" like, i always thought it was a very creative thing. -and then i, i think i rediscovered legos right around the second or third season of south park. people would walk in while chaos was going on, and i'd just be putting together these things. and i think that having that instruction book that said, this one on top of that one. and this one on that one. it was just so therapeutic for me because the rest of my life was, think of something, think of something. -you know, be creative, be creative, be creative. and i found it so insanely therapeutic. ...goes to the basket! i've actually been on the road to a lot of different games. and the fans are like, "man, i love legos just like you, man." -i have at least 30 boxes that are waiting at home for me to start working on. the biggest piece that i have is actually the piece that was given to me by ellen degeneres. we told our friends at legos that you love legos. mm-hmm. so we got you something. -wait a second. did any of those guys look like kids to you? it seems like lego fans come in many forms. let's go meet some of these, um, well, i'm not sure what you call them. let's go find out. -hey! can somebody just throw my hair back up here? here at brickcon in seattle, you can see part of the huge community that's building with lego bricks. brickcon is one of north america's top lego conventions, along with chicago's brickworld and virginia's brickfair. and there are similar fan events throughout europe, asia, and around the globe. -spending a little time at one of these conventions gives you an idea of the vastness of the lego universe. there are those that use lego, and there is an adult fan community. we all refer to ourselves as afols, absolutely. an adult fan of lego. which is basically, the reason we're all here. -to me, being one is just enjoying everything about what lego's about. you know the comic book guy from the simpsons? that's i think what people think an afol is. just a big guy living in his parents' basement. just kinda tapping at the computer all day long. -well, if that's not an afol, what is? blue collar, white collar. programmers, construction guys. schoolteachers. executives. -people working in science and industry. geeks, strangers, weirdoes. people like me. i am totally a geek. for me, this is the class reunion with all your best friends, once a year. -afols are definitely a community. very much so. and thank you, internet, for making that happen. it was a kind of a light bulb, when i go on the internet, and i'm like, "wow, there's other people that like doing this." -the lego community does have its own language, and it's defined by the acronyms that it uses. an afol is an adult fan of lego. as opposed to kfol, which is kid fan of lego. tfol, which is teen fans of legos. some people use the term nlso, which stands for non lego significant other. -moc. which means my own creation. a lug is a lego users' group. itc. lego train club. -gbc. great ball contraption. snot would be studs not on top. there's poop. parts out of other parts. -crapp is a crummy ramp and pit plate. burp. big ugly rock piece. and the infamous lurp. the little ugly rock piece. -they even have their own currency. it's a black, 1x2 brick. you can buy these for three, four cents apiece. but this piece produced in white, the last time they made it was the mid '80s. just like a stock market would be, supply and demand. -and you wanna go buy it, you're gonna spend $4 or $5 for it. so what does the lego company make of all of this? we were kind of shocked. this is all based on what they want to do. it's things they want to make. -it's events they want to organize. we hadn't planned that. it's out of our control. done! two, one, start. -there it is. i found it. no, no. that's not it. no, it's definitely it. -a familiar face at many conventions is lego designer jamie berard. remember him? jamie's lego career started as an afol. i was just at a toy store, and i see all these adults in the lego aisle. and i'm thinking, this is a bit odd. -'cause i'm used to normally waiting until the kids leave and then i can come over and take a quick peek and pretend i'm shopping for someone. these guys are hanging out talking, and they're showing off the sets, and they're buying five copies of a set. and i'm like, i do that! what do you... who are you guys? -and they said, "yeah, we have a club. would you like to join?" and so it was actually this really cool moment where i... i didn't even know it was there and then it kind of found me. jamie's life changed when kjeld kristiansen and other lego executives visited a convention and saw his work. -all these lego people that i never imagined i'd ever meet were all in one place at one time, and saw all the stuff i was building and started having a conversation with me, asking curious questions like, "have you ever thought of working overseas?" and then he hands me his business card and says, "i'd like to continue this conversation when i get back to denmark." and then... he did, and i got an internship, and then i got the job. i think it's awesome when i go to the lego events because, in many ways, some things haven't changed at all. -i still have that curiosity. i just can't wait to see what everybody's built, to see the old faces, people that i've hung out with. it's just fun. people seem genuinely happy to see me. and i love the fact that i still feel like i'm part of the community. -i'm a complete afol. i hate the term, because, like, trekkies and whovians get these cool handles. we have to use an acronym. i build characters from the big screen and the small screen, from video games and from internet culture and memes. -the first one was my stephen hawking model, which unexpectedly went viral. and that's when i realized there was a larger audience for lego creations. i'm most looking forward to connecting with all my lego buddies again. uh, we get to see all the new things that we've created. it's putting on a show. -and for a nerd like me, it's not often you get a chance to put on a show. so, did you figure out what you're bringing to brickcon? yeah, i think i'm going to bring the haunted doll house. we both were into lego as kids. we didn't realize it when we started dating. -and when we got married and moved into the house, dave's mom called and said, "come get your stuff." in that stuff, we found a huge tub of lego. we sat down one evening and started building. so, yeah, we did that and found out it was a lot of fun to build together. -yeah. and we really enjoyed it. i tend to build a lot of steampunk creations. i just like the elegance of steampunk. i tend to focus more on the small details and interiors. -you're also really big on minifigs. yes. i do like minifigs. well, obviously we're gonna have to take the car down. the big joke at lego conventions is the 1x5. -and uh, for those of you that don't know what a 1x5 is... that is a guy code in the lego community for a hot girl. and, it's because lego doesn't make a 1x5. years ago, hot girls at conventions were a rarity. but, you know, luckily i have my 1x5, so i'm all good. -my definition of adults that play with legos are just tall kids. i like to build, but i'm not the best builder. do you wanna know who the best builder is? my mom. i'm finishing up just the last few of the birch trees here behind the library. -and, uh, it's in the middle of rivendell. and we're really excited about finishing it, but we're also a little bit surprised at how big it turned out to be. you never quite know when you're working on one section at a time, until you put it all together. i just started building again a couple years ago when my son was getting interested in building. let's make it only two segments long. -why? because we don't want it to be too wide, 'cause it's up next to rocks. i went from doing laundry one day to having over two and a half million hits on my flickr pages. and it was pretty overwhelming. for two years in a row alice's work has received the coveted people's choice award from convention goers. -this year she's built an enormous model of rivendell, the mythic city from the lord of the rings. i think people are going to like it. i don't think that there's anything quite like it. one of my favorite things to do in a convention is to encourage the girls to build. lego has historically really been focused on boys. -and they have admitted they have only been addressing half the population. they're now taking it seriously. i think there's a tremendous world of possibilities that has been untapped so far. there are lots of girls who come up and say, "thank you for being a role model." -raise the drawbridge! load the "cattle-pults"! release the hounds! oh! hi, guys. -as you can see, people build all sorts of things out of lego bricks. the combinations people come up with, it's almost infinite. wait a minute, i wonder if it is infinite. hey! there's a guy in denmark trying to figure that out. -i'm going to talk about things that we know about the growth of the number of lego configurations. my name is soren eilers. i'm a professor of mathematics. it all started in legoland, actually. it was one of those rainy days in danish summer, and i was there with my daughter. -soren saw a display dedicated to the original patent filed by ole's son, godtfred. godtfred was asked by the patent officer, "ow many ways can you put together six of these bricks?" and he says, something like, "we're still working on it, but when i left home, we had 102,981,000," or something like that. -and so i was wondering how they computed that number because it seemed to be a difficult mathematical problem. what lego had done was to just count the... the towers where you put the things on top of each other. whereas if i have a building that is sort of low and wide, i have a lot of options for the final one. of course i tried to attack this with theory, but i didn't get anywhere. -so, essentially, all that i could think of doing was ask a computer. in fact my program was very inefficient. took me a week to compute this number. the correct number is quite a lot higher. the correct number is 915,103,765. -but once soren had the number, the obvious question was, what happens if you add a seventh brick? or an eighth? so it's pretty easy to count all the way to five. six, i can now recompute this number maybe in five minutes or so. and then each time it takes about a hundred times more. -so, next time it's a couple of hours. counting eight it took me something like 500 hours. so if i was to count with nine or ten... this would probably take years, maybe hundreds of years. so what does this unsolvable problem say about the lego system? -by mathematical definition, this is a finite system. we have a finite number of bricks. they have a finite number of studs and holes. but for all practical human purposes, these bricks are infinitely flexible, and not only that, they define a mathematical problem of infinite complexity. so i would say that, -"yes, it is finite, but in a way it's also infinite." i think this is the beginning of what we call systematic creativity. this basic system of tubes and studs that locks together, and it will take a child's idea or an adult's idea, and it'll hold it together. it'll give it form and give them a new medium of communication. the interesting thing with the lego brick, as we see here, is that the instructions for how it fits with the rest is actually embedded. -we don't need an instruction. we don't need a dictionary or grammar. it's embedded in the system. it became this platform where people all over the world had a shared language, it's like the letters or notes in music. it's a creative tool, it's a creative medium, but it's also a language. -it's a language that's more global than english and windows. so with such a limitless product, how did the lego company experience anything but constant success? believe it or not, not that long ago, the company was in pretty dire straits. on the cbs worldwide market watch, the danish toymaker lego today reported its first ever annual loss. if the kids love it, why then is the danish company in so much trouble? -what happened to lego is lego had an unprecedented growth rate when it really got the bricks right in '78, until the mid-1990s. it was growing fast, everything was good, and it suddenly collapsed. sales of two of their three big products fall off a cliff. and they almost went out of business in 2003. ten years ago, our company was in serious trouble, and the wonderful thing about it, we couldn't blame anybody else. -they had lost sight of their most important asset: the genius of the lego system. smart people from around the world had told lego in the '90s that this brick is gonna become irrelevant. you need to find new things. it was seen as... -actually, this was seen as uncool. they were making more and more custom pieces for specific sets. at one point, they had over 14,000 unique elements. some of the sets had only a few elements and required almost no construction. when we made products which were quicker to build, those who didn't like to build still said, "i don't like to build it. -i'd rather buy a die-cast car or doll or something else." and those who actually did like lego for what it is, they said, "what is this now?" and because we didn't understand that and also because we were actually, frankly, quite arrogant as a company towards our customers, we were making the wrong products, and we were not even able to deliver the products that people wanted to the stores. their fans knew what was wrong, but lego company executives weren't paying attention to the community that had grown around their product. -the seed of change had been planted a few years earlier with the release of a product called mindstorms. this little yellow brick, developed by lego and mit, turns lego creations into interactive robots. for us this was a great opportunity, 'cause we saw a great potential of combining lego and computers. lego had in mind that they would develop it, and then kids would play with it in the prescribed way, and they had as an audience children, their standard, traditional audience. but it really sort of captured the imagination of people of all ages, not just the young people that mindstorms was initially intended for. -in fact, in the first year that mindstorms came out, half of the sales were to adults for adult use. then there was someone who liked lego who was at stanford and was like, "hmm, this brick, i could hack that open and reverse engineer it." and they were opening up the mindstorms. they were writing new software for it. -within three months, a thousand hackers were working on it. and this was rather a shock for them. lego's response was pretty much like, "what is this?" they're taking apart what we created. i mean, we put this together, so it shouldn't be taken apart. -that's our secrets. there was a lot of questions in our leadership. we could either take the aggressive and protective and controlling route, and the other route would be to say well, this is, uh, interesting. in most companies, and also in a very traditional way of innovating was to have it super-secret. it's like closed walls, sign on the "x," and we couldn't say anything. -we had a lot of internal discussions with our lawyers, top management was involved. kjeld had to stand up and say, "but i want this. we're a company who makes things that people can create with." when a company starts to deal with users, and discovers that it can get ideas from users, that's mindstorms. that's the new way of saying, you will deal with your adult fans of lego, and you will get from them useful ideas. -we need to be aware that 99.99% of the smartest people in the world don't work for us. in the wake of the mindstorms product release, the lego company was more open to ideas that came from outside the walls of its design room. chicago architect adam reed tucker builds skyscrapers out of lego bricks. in 2005, when his firm went belly-up from the economy adam decided to return to the more artistic side of architecture by creating architectural models. -one day i ventured out to a local toy store and filled about a dozen shopping carts of lego sets to get reacquainted with the brick. and when i got home, i dumped out all these sets, and my fiancée came home, and she saw me sitting there and she made a u-turn. then an hour later, called me and said, "is there something i need to know?" adam's work soon caught the attention of the lego company's paal smith-meyer. -and i had this idea that let's start new business with people who have a passionate feeling about what we do. and then i meet adam and he's standing there with these super tall structures built out of lego. and i'm like, "wow! these are amazing." we can do a whole line but me coming from the inside, -i need evidence, you know, i need proof. so we can prove to the world that this works. two months later, i come to brickworld and adam says, "i have a surprise for you." and then he's created 200 boxes of the first set. -on his own, adam had designed the box graphics and had packaged every single set. if adam and paal could make the architecture series happen, it would take some convincing. after all, what adam was proposing to a toy company wasn't exactly a toy and up until now lego designs were only made by lego designers. if he hadn't taken and been so pushy, lego architecture as it is today probably wouldn't happen. -the series was a success, and the line has been expanding ever since. so, it proved that we can work with individuals on the outside. it's not going to break lego. it's actually creating energy. it's creating kind of this hope, uh, that we can make more things. -adam is now working on a new venture to push the lego boundaries. following up on what i did with the lego architecture, i wanted to create a roller coaster for lego. i'm always about pushing the lines. to make the roller coaster work, -adam designed two new elements in his workshop: a ball joint attached to a rail tie, and a hitch to mount the ball in. the fact that they do create new elements, um, gives me hope that, you know, these elements can also be created. ten days later, adam unveils his coaster prototype for paal at brickworld. it's so smooth. -it's amazing. whee! so, that's more of like um, a sci-fi kind of use. this one is a runaway coal mine. yeah. -or silver mine. yeah. this would not have been possible before. it might look like a roller coaster part, but hey, you can use it for anything you want. i think it's amazing. -i mean, i definitely think that, you know, kids, adults all over the world will want to play with this. everyone. thanks, buddy. in tokyo, japan, kohei nishlyama has helped open the doors to creativity from the lego community. he's an expert in crowd creation and calls his project cuusoo, which means "dream" or "wish." -kohei worked with paal to create a platform that brings lego users' dreams to reality. the idea for lego cuusoo is that anyone in the world who has a lego idea can "wish" that lego will one day make this. the only thing you have to do is actually share it with the world on the cuusoo platform, and through that, create a community of interest around your wish. designs that gain support from 10,000 or more lego users go up for review with lego management. it's quite an honor for a design to get released as an official lego set. -the first idea that got 10,000 votes was lego minecraft. took 48 hours. it broke our servers several times. i think it's safe to say that lego fans were waiting for an idea like kohei's to come along. now the finalists are being reviewed for cuusoo set number five. -if this is what it is to be a geek, i am definitely okay with that 'cause, uh, it's the most fun i've ever had. "cuusoo" loosely translated means a wish. and uh, my wish is to see more space exploration. i want people to be more interested in space exploration. i knew even from elementary school that i wanted to be a mechanical engineer when i grew up. -the trouble is, there were no mechanical engineering classes in middle school. so uh, i would design entire manned missions to jupiter using lego designs. after college, stephen landed his first engineering job, working on a space vehicle for nasa, the mars curiosity rover. i spent a lot of time in clean rooms working around parts of the actual rover itself. it was all i could ever want to do. -it's a huge, seven-foot-tall, 2,000-pound, nuclear-powered, rock-drilling, laser-blasting, science-performing robot. originally i just wanted to build a rover so i could, you know, show my friends and family what i was working on and how cool it was before anyone else even knew about it. this is the off-set differential, rocker bogey suspension system. and on top here is the uh, off-set differential arm that swings across the top of the rover, and it connects the left and right sides of the suspension system that allows the rover to keep all six wheels on the ground as it travels over uneven terrain. -it doesn't have to be, you know, battling martians or anything. it's doing it all for science. i'm not a very outgoing person, and i didn't always, uh, interact with a lot of lego users before. i just had my own personal collection. and i like how you can disconnect the umbilical and take the capsule off... -i went to my very first uh, lego users group meeting, called uh, a lug. and uh, the curiosity rover was received very well. everyone thought it was awesome. in fact they said, "hey, you should submit this model to cuusoo." and of course, the kid in me thought, -"oh, wow, i could be a lego designer. "that's awesome." looking at it and i voted for it, and there was only, like, a few hundred votes. then within a week i looked at it again. it started going up all of a sudden, i went, -"wait a minute, that's stephen's. this is cool!" i know a little bit about the other contestants, and one of them would definitely be the largest lego set that lego has ever produced if they actually did turn it into a set. took me about nine months to complete it. it's not just building, of course. -it's research. i had to find all the pictures for the model and all the parts. i wasn't sure until the end if it's going to work and drive because of the weight, but i was lucky with that. it's not just about prestige. if the finalists' designs are chosen, they'll get 1% of the net sales. -if i win, then i will build it twice this size and ride on it through the desert. it will just keep going round and round. the third finalist in this year's cuusoo project is a user group led by new zealander nick vás. nick and his team have created lego models of the video game portal 2, which is very popular with the lego crowd. we had decided on portal as the topic for our cuusoo project, simply because we had a common love for lego and portal as a video game. -the portal project was one of the fastest ever to reach the necessary 10,000 votes to be considered a finalist on the cuusoo website. we think that our project is the most likely. we're holding high hopes that it will be us. i voted for them, 'cause i played the game, and i really enjoyed it. and i was... -i'm hoping that one could be chosen, too. i would definitely buy multiple copies of that set. so if the product goes to design, what are you going to do with all the money? if i could do whatever i wanted with it, i think it would probably all go right back to lego. -so basically you're doing it for the brick. yeah, pretty much. i think the interesting thing, and then maybe the scary thing with cuusoo, is that it has actually opened the company, it has actually almost turned it inside out. what happened before with, you know, this, everything happened in secret, behind closed walls, is now reversed. it's created an excitement in the world that we can, together, shape the future of lego products. -after months of review lego representatives are ready to reveal which of the three finalists will be chosen as cuusoo set number 005. are you guys excited? this is the next cuusoo model that you're gonna see. the winner... the mars curiosity rover. no matter how much i fantasized about it, it couldn't prepare me for the reality of the actual news. -i have all sorts of emotions and feelings running through me. it's hard to try and describe how they all feel when they're mushed together like that. innovation from the lego community doesn't necessarily need to have the lego company's involvement. while the lego company is more and more open to innovators from the outside, there are others who are customizing on their own. in seattle, washington, will chapman has built a successful business around a hole in the lego product line. -this is an m2 machine gun. this is the mp40 german machine gun from world war ll. my hcsr. his business manufactures minifigure-scaled guns. now why would he do that? -lego will not produce what i produce. lego won't do any weapons that are modern. they'll do wild west, which is maybe up to the mid-1800s. and then we got postmodern, which is star wars. weapons don't fit into the lego "play well" philosophy. -i think being a danish company, the idea of handgun ownership, weapon ownership is not a big part of their culture. so i said, "let's try it ourselves." when i design a weapon, i look online for some inspirational photos. the trouble with the minifigure is they have giant... giant hands, and they're a squashed-down representation of a human. they're really tough to try to design for. -it's art. it's truly, i believe it's art. the folks that are buying to equip an army are always adults, and they'll buy a hundred of one gun, they'll buy 200 of a helmet. it's gone from just a couple of figures armed with a weapon, to scenes, entire battles, d-day landing, normandy invasion. there's invasions of fallujah, there's modern military marines, there's modern army. -you need an m16. it's an iconic weapon. this started as a hobby, and i never thought that this would turn into something that could be a worldwide phenomenon. the lego world is so adaptable, it's so modular, that lego doesn't get to decide. we get to decide how we want to build with those elements. -cut! come on, guys, put some life into it. you're so stiff. okay, let's just take five then. amateurs. -all right, where was i... oh, right. narrator guy! okay, the lego system has proven it's a great thing for play, but can it be used for more serious endeavors? there's people around the world using lego as a tool as much as a toy. -cut to: exterior establishing shot. boise, idaho. we're in my mom's garage, and we're making my film melting point. it's a stop-motion animated film made with lego bricks. -jonathan vaughan and matt cohen met at film school in los angeles, but they both dropped out because they were frustrated by the scale of projects they could do. i used to think that legos were just for kids until i met jonathan and got a telescope into the lego brick filming community. with brick films, you're uninhibited. if he needs a 12-mile highway to shoot a car chase, he builds the 12-mile highway. whatever he thinks of, he builds it and he does it. -to get somebody to walk, like, five feet, you have to take 15 frames every second of that walk. so you have to move them in just little millimeter increments. it's incredibly tedious. there's nothing else i've ever done that takes this long. but when you're working with minifigs, you don't have to deal with agents or egos, or anything that befalls working with regular actors. -they're great. if i want to do a 16-hour day, they don't complain. no overtime. jonathan's creating one of his sets for his movie. they're doing the work in the garage. -he tells me he's making a movie. i have to take that on faith. he's playing with legos, something that he's done since he was a toddler. my family has been pretty supportive about this. he's very creative, but i would really like to be able to park my car in the garage, yes. -well, there's been a long tradition of brick films. one of my favorite brick film makers is david pagano. new york filmmaker david pagano has been making brick films since he was nine. david is considered one of the top lego animators, and is known for creating complex characters out of bricks. most films you're going to see will have minifigures as the main actor. -they're just articulated enough to be moveable into a variety of fun poses, but not so over-articulated that you need help getting them to stand up properly, or look like a normal human being, or as normal as someone with no nose looks. hey! i have done a lot of stuff with minifigures, both for lego and just for myself, but i also am just endlessly fascinated with what you can build from bricks. i just find it an interesting challenge as opposed to having a readymade actor. i'd rather figure out ways to make neat-looking characters, and then make sure they're animate-able, then bring them to life. -i am somewhat of a lego archivist. on my better days i consider myself a lego animation historian, if such a job exists. i don't think it does, but i'll pretend to myself, until someone tells me to stop. so, the very first lego films were promotional videos or commercials that were made in the '60s and '70s. i think it should have a big middle part and two little sides that stick out. -but the first fan film didn't come until the mid-to-late 1980s, and that was a film called the magic portal. they used sloped pieces in a really interesting way where you could get these weird little blobby creatures that crawl along the set. there's some nice animation with some of the old lego backhoe pieces. in the early 2000s, lego films really started to take off. everyone had the internet, and it was starting to become this thing that was not going away, it wasn't a fad. -and it was in everybody's home as a way to connect with other people. that's sort of when i would say "the modern era" of lego animation started. the lego animation content that you can find online just runs the gamut. there's cool stuff, there's weird stuff. -there's some stuff that's really well put together and just shot gorgeously and has really interesting parts usage. there's immensely inappropriate stuff. you can get all kinds. one thing that's become pretty common is shot-for-shot remakes of scenes from famous films or film trailers. so they'll build each set that you see in each shot... -describe what marsellus wallace looks like! what? say what again! i've seen the dark knight. if you devote yourself to an ideal, then you become something else entirely. -ed sheeran has a music video that someone was commissioned to make into lego. another thing that people are recreating with lego is just, like, news events. some people were re-creating olympic scenes, and when felix baumgartner did that jump from space, there was, like, a lego version of it, like, 24 hours later. if you do a youtube search for lego, you're going to find 13 million hits at least. i think it will only get more prevalent and there will only be more and more people doing it because it's super fun. -oh, my gosh! i love this song! the lego movie was done with computer graphics, but made to look like a brick film. the director specifically said they were inspired by lego stop-motion web videos. and it's cool that they were able to include a few of those. -in the climax of the lego movie, you can see my film garbage man. whoa! awesome! it's technically not a brick film because it's computer generated. ours is going to be fully stop motion, so i'm trying to make one that's the best quality for a really long running time. -it will be the greatest lego movie ever made. otherwise, i've failed. in the film, there's this cop, who all he ever wanted to do was be a cop, this little lego guy named tony. and he used to be a skateboarder, so he can chase criminals down on his skateboard. and then this guy duman, this great classic super villain, comes into town and just starts burning everything down. -right now, you're afraid... of melting. in a few seconds, you'll feel the burn in your little, plastic eyeballs. was that the direction you want to go? yeah. i'm digging that. -wow. when i was originally working on the film, i wasn't planning to raise any money. but then matt looked at the script. i was like, how are you going to do this? -do you have enough bricks? this is way bigger than anything you've done that i've seen. and he said, "uh, well, we'll have to fill in the city probably with some cgi, maybe get a little bit more bricks." and i was like, "no. you have to build a city. -this has to be the greatest lego movie ever made, jonathan." and so i said, "okay, we have to do a kickstarter." hi, i'm jonathan vaughan, and i'm directing melting point, which is a stop-motion animated film made with lego bricks. i'm robert fleet. i'm playing duman. -i get to melt things a lot. it's really fun. action. so, guys, here's what i was thinking up for the establishing shot. we're going to need to build basically everything you see here, so pretty much the entire city. -we're going to have to use cgi then? i will not use cgi, okay? i want this to be the best brick film ever made. lego started as a toy, but now it's definitely... it's a way people are expressing themselves in this weird hobby, so it's definitely also a tool and a means to an end, a means to tell stories and express yourself in a gigantic variety of ways. -all around the world people are pushing the limits of what they can do with the lego system, and what it's capable of as a building material. now i can officially say, that with the height of 112 feet, 11 and three-quarters inches, you are now members of the guinness world records family. i'd like to present this certificate and congratulate all of you. yes! we broke the record. -in melbourne, steve sammartino and raul oaida built a working car almost entirely out of lego bricks. it's not going to set any land speed records, and it doesn't go all that far, but just the mere fact that it does go is quite something. andrew carol, an engineer at apple, studied the remnants of a greek device used to determine celestial events, which was found at the bottom of the aegean sea. then he reconstructed it from, you guessed it, lego bricks. at conventions, fans get together to build great ball contraptions, or gbcs, which deliver balls from one module to another. -the gbc is a collaborative effort to make a kinetic sculpture, if you will. in this case, if you watch, when this ball hits, two flip off. and they're timed so that this gate double flips. even google's larry page used lego bricks. actually, in college i built an inkjet printer out of legos. -page and sergey brin even built their first server out of lego bricks. in england tv host james may decided to build an entire working house out of lego bricks. so, the lego system can enable people to make real, working stuff. sometimes, however, the goal is more cerebral. what do you think that is? -how great is that? you going to take a picture with your cell phone? well, i didn't see it at first. my sister pointed it out to me. and i'm a preschool teacher, and i am drawn to legos. -i'm from indiana, we don't see things like that in indiana. so, it's unusual. people are so familiar with lego bricks. most everyone you know has snapped a few bricks together, and so that makes the art accessible, it makes it relatable. when i first started going to galleries and saying, -"hey, i do lego art." they kind of looked at me and said, "oh, okay, is that cars and trucks or castles?" you know, they have a set notion of what lego art would be. i order tens of thousands of bricks every month. -this is how it is. this is how i get my bricks. in fact, i spend over six figures annually just on lego. there's probably 3 million bricks in this room. i've made a career from a child's toy. -i've been told at times i'm a sellout because i use this commercial brand to create my art. but it's a brand that i chose because i believe there's nothing i can't build out of it. growing up, i had a lot of lego bricks as a toy. it was something my parents encouraged. they let me have a 36-square-foot lego city in our living room. -it was when i was about 10 years old, wanted to get a dog. asked my parents, "can i get a dog?" "no, you're not getting a dog." i tore down my lego city, used those bricks to create my own life-size lego dog. it was really my first time in realizing it's not what's on the front of the box. -you can actually create whatever you want out of this toy. i got out of college, and i had societal pressures to get a real job. and i ended up going to law school. i was doing corporate law. and i would come home at the end of the day and i would need a creative outlet. -and sometimes that was drawing, sometimes it was painting. but once i started doing sculptures out of lego, i really had found my passion. and it got to the point where i was working full days at the law firm, and i would come home at night and have a slate of commissions to work on. and i decided to make that change, to leave the law practice behind, and go be an artist. -an artist who plays with toys. you know, i don't know if this is... if i've broken through. i don't know if an artist ever can feel like they've broken through because i keep setting bigger and bigger goals. nathan has been offered his biggest opportunity yet. -he's been booked for a one-man show in new york's times square and is prepping over a hundred pieces for it. the new york exhibition, i think, will be the biggest show of my life, a culmination of years' worth of work, as well as the largest solo lego art exhibition ever. and there's a lot of pressure. the show will feature nathan's original creations as well as lego replicas he is making of classical works of art. for nathan, this is the opportunity to prove himself as a legitimate artist. -i'm worried that the venue that's taking a big risk on me feels like this is a failure. i'm worried that, you know, will they actually get it when they see it in the exhibition format? and really, what's the public going to think? thousands of miles away in germany another artist, jan vormann, has taken lego arts to the streets. i really like to work with objects that everybody has a preconceived image of. -the good thing with playful elements in the work is that people get attracted by it rather than repulsed. if i use a material which people like, they are more likely to start interacting with me. so now it has different aspects to it. on the one side, the sculpture installation, where it's just there to be visually perceived. and on the other side, a performance kind of action. -it looks like a lot of fun, but jan's work has serious undertones. most of the times i tried to find locations which have a kind of historical background or political meaning. today we are here in the very back of the anhalter bahnhof. this used to be the main train station for berlin. this is also a place where a lot of jews were deported before the war ended. -the holocaust is an event that's omnipresent in my mind, so i think about it a lot. you don't necessarily see it in my work, because i don't want to add like, visually dark and heavy subjects. so my idea to use the plastic construction bricks was to add a kind of colorful part of contemporary times, a material that everybody worldwide has the same feeling on it. some people call this type of art "ego bombing," but jan prefers to call it "patchwork," -and he's bringing the patchwork project around the world. for me, it's a kind of hopeful thing to see that we actually share this common culture. whoa... okay. what happens when the thing you want to build isn't the thing that you want to build but rather a representation of the thing that you want to build? -okay, i think i just confused myself. what if the thing you want to build is just an idea? could lego bricks be used for that? in denmark, when a rising architect wanted to submit for a major commission, he looked at how modular building techniques had become in his home country and thought of his favorite toy as a child. in denmark, because of the labor wages and because of the bad weather, you want to minimize the time at the construction site. -so everything has to be like prefabricated elements, put together in interesting ways. so in a manner of speaking, denmark has become a country entirely built out of lego. so, we thought, like, if that's the truth, why don't we make this project an homage, so we nicknamed the project the lego towers and thought the best way to communicate it would be to build it out of lego. and the idea became almost like doing manmade mountains that are pixilated, like a sort of low resolution alpine architecture. to show the developer how easy it was to build the project, when we presented the project, we also presented this lego model and sort of, if you can build it out of lego, it can't be that difficult, can it? -and sort of he... he passed the lego model on to his son, and we got the commission. the project earned bjarke's group a lot of critical acclaim and helped put him on the international architecture map. so, when the lego company was looking for someone to design their lego house in billund, bjarke was the perfect choice. -of course, we were incredibly excited to get the job. as all danes know, lego is a danish product. if big had been founded with a single purpose, it would be to be the architects of the lego house. in cambridge, at mit, they're using lego elements to visualize more than just buildings. they're looking at how entire cities work. -so, we're looking at a lego model that has been constructed to represent a square kilometer of kendall square. we're actually in this building right here, in the mit media lab, and overlaid on this, you're actually seeing a projection map of google streets. the mit city science initiative is using lego elements to visualize wind patterns, heat maps, light studies, and traffic flow. want to see what happens if this block gets more light? just pick that 10-story building up and move it. -it all kind of highlights the complexity of the organism that is the city. you know, the city isn't just roads. it's not just access to sun. it's not just people moving, within the transportation networks. it's all of these things, in the same place, and that's incredibly hard to see. -it allows everyone, let's say, non-expert and expert alike to come together on a simple platform, you know, that's inviting, to be for engagement, you know, in a meaningful conversation. huh, wow. turns out lego bricks might solve our traffic problems. in the favelas of sao paulo, brazil, they've taken this visualization tool to the next level by using it to discuss ideas, abstract ideas about community and class. we challenged them to build model cities in legos, and these constructions arise out of the children's search for solutions in the community in which they're living. -this is our community. our space. every rotten thing that you can imagine is in these rivers. it was our friend who had the idea to build a bridge to show the difference in our society, and it made us take a bigger view of things. it's showing them that the power of change, the power of an idea that begins small, can sometimes have a large effect. -there's another way the lego system is being used as a tool, and perhaps the most profound of all. can a toy be therapeutic? at the yale school in cherry hill new jersey kids are interacting with each other, playing with lego bricks. what seems ordinary is actually quite extraordinary. this school is for kids with autism, and all of these kids have significant neurodevelopmental disabilities. -they're part of a therapy developed two decades ago by dr. dan legoff. and yeah, that's his real name. i was looking for something else. i wasn't happy with the outcomes i was getting using standard methods. and so i had, you know, different stations in my playroom. -one of them, um, was lego. and a lot of the kids, especially, socially anxious, inhibited, quiet, mildly autistic kind of kids, gravitated to the lego area. and it seemed like an anxiety-free zone. the "a-ha" moment came one day when i came out to the waiting room and two kids that i had been seeing, very similar personalities... they were both bringing legos from home to show me. and they had met in the waiting room, and they were showing each other. -and their parents were excited. you could tell, they were like, "whoa. look at that. they're communicating. they're interacting. -this is cool." dr. legoff allowed the kids to play with lego toys, but only if they built together. working in groups of three, one is the engineer, one is the parts supplier, and one is the builder. only by communicating can they get to a finished product. good. -this is a good time to switch. anybody who hasn't done building yet should take a turn now. it's coming along real nice. making them do a systematic thing in a social context is the trick. building legos is cool, but you know what's even better is to do it with my friends. -it is so exciting to see this thing working. so i have one student who interacts with other kids in the lego club much more just in that one day, than he has interacted with kids outside of lego club for the whole summer. right. so that's a pretty big deal. parents were saying, "oh, my kid loves going to see dr. dan. -isn't that great? he finally has a therapy that he enjoys. he seems to be getting better socially." but there was no data on it. dr. legoff conducted a scientific study comparing the behavioral improvements from his therapy versus traditional therapy. -now those kids did get better. but the lego kids got significantly better than they did. one of the many kids who has benefitted from this kind of therapy is adrian pitt, of new york city. legos are usually all about concentration. and i need to concentrate on something a bit more. -it helps me, like, focus. why don't you take off... adrian is... he's just a real nice kid who wants to make friends and wants to play. he has speech and language delays, and he has been in speech and language therapy since he was about three years old. -the great thing about lego, and the reason that i love it for him so much is there's no words. the instructions are the pictures. so if you can see, you know, you can follow directions and you can complete legos. some of these pieces need to have measurements, so this one needs to be exactly seven millimeters. this is how we measure. -adrian's very proud of what he built. there's a real sense of accomplishment once he's finished something, and that's a big deal for him. i'm having a bit of trouble attaching this part. if i don't get it right, then it's not going to work. in a secret location in long island the components of the life-size x-wing model have arrived via freighter from the czech republic. -the x-wing must be fully assembled then broken up into five transportable pieces to be brought to new york city for its unveiling in times square. there isn't much time. we are finally in new york. we are really near to final stage. and it's just a couple of weeks more, and that's it. -you can imagine this being a giant kid's bedroom, and we've just opened up the box of bricks, and we've organized our parts and now we're assembling it, a lot like you would at home. except we're just doing it on a massive scale here. how is this project different from maybe the one that you build in your bedroom? here we have heavy equipment for lifting 5,000-pound pieces and 8,000-pound pieces. and you probably don't have steel inside your models at home. -we are on schedule, but it's... even just unpacking the pieces, it's not like in five minutes. it takes like half a day. it takes time. we need a couple of days for everything. -all right, i think we got it now. this first, it stays where it is. second, the engine. and then the rest of the wing. it's cool. -behold, the x-wing star fighter. with the assembly complete, now comes the biggest challenge of all, bringing a life-size x-wing into the busiest block in america without detection. today is wednesday. it might not be that bad. but we're going to the heart of new york, so... -there are still challenges in front of us because we have only night until morning. well, our plan is to spend the whole night assembling it, putting it together, and at 6 a.m., roll it back and hide it inside the box. it's seven in the morning, and it's done. adrian's father is bringing him into midtown manhattan for a special surprise. what does it say? -secret model. indestructible box. do we have any lego fans here? does anyone here want to know what's inside that box? yes! -i can't hear you! i said, "do you want to know what's inside that box?" yes! i want you guys to stretch your arms out all the way to harness the power of the force along with yoda to open up this box. ready? -one... two... three! x-wing! this x-wing starfighter is the largest lego model that has ever been built. i'm talking over five million lego bricks. five million, three hundred, thirty-five thousand, two hundred pieces, and 45,000 pounds. -this is the coolest thing i've ever seen. three, two, one. also in new york, nathan sawaya is making last-minute preparations on his one-man show the art of the brick. it finally opens tonight. i am very nervous, but also very excited to see those folks walk through the door for the first time tonight. -this is the art of the brick. this is my largest exhibition i've ever done, and it just happens to be the largest solo lego art exhibition ever. i had a goal of taking lego into the contemporary art world, and to do so, it had to be done in a way where i was really putting myself and my soul into the work. you know, part of me wants to just be a fly on the wall and listen to people's reaction. and i'm going to try and do that as much as possible. -so, um, we'll see what happens. there it is, thank you. first impression, i just got blown away. i didn't expect to feel this much inspiration. amazing. -i worked with lego when i was a kid, but i always built things off the back of the packet, and i can't believe that someone's actually turned around and turned it into something from their imagination. this is something that is delightful and playful, and it's something that can really spark the imagination in children and adults. we have had a few art critics walk through already, and of course i'm nervous to see what they say, but i think it's almost a compliment just to have a serious art critic from some major newspapers in this country walking through. they were not dismissing it as just a toy display. it's not just a gimmick. -this was art. what do you guys think? i think it's good. yeah? did you make that? -i did, i made all of these. this type of exhibition is going to draw in folks who have never been to an art museum before in their life. and they're coming because they have a familiarity with the toy. and if that opens them up to the art world for the first time, then i've done my job. lego designer jamie berard is headed to brickcon in seattle to unveil his new parisian cafe set. -but while he's there, he's got another mission. these are our happy boxes. now, we don't know what's in this. he's convinced his fellow designers to compete against the public in the master build contest. okay, teams. -these are the same products that will be given to lego fans at brickcon in seattle, washington. and what we want to do is actually participate more in the event by doing the challenge they will be doing there, we'll be doing it here. welcome! okay, you notice there are only 25 stations. pick a teammate and go sit down. -i think it's going to be a lot of fun at the brickcon convention, because when you have a head-to-head with designers, of course you want to beat them. all right, so what do we got here? okay, that's cool. what is our angle going to be? the reason that you can see we have pig and cow heads, is because the theme for this year's brickcon is pigs versus cows. -does everyone have two pig heads and two cow heads? are there any questions? yes. it's one moc? it's one moc, but it can be how many buildings you want. -make up the story as much as you want, and then have a lot of fun with it. use all the pieces, use all the set, as much as you like. you'll have one and one half hours to build. are we ready? yeah! -go! so, the idea behind this is that they should be fighting for something. it's a battle or some type of pigs versus cows. see, this is always like, you know, why does it always have to be battles? maybe whoever wins stays alive. -stays alive. yeah. contestants, you now have fifty-nine minutes and fifty-one seconds left! pressure! oh, stress! -i hate building under stress. how are things going, what's your process here? you can build anything with anything. right, right. so, come up with a good story first, and then make the pieces do what you need them to do. -interesting. build a story. this is the first time we've heard someone talking about story, which i know was very important in this contest. he's like a cyborg. so he's half-cow, half-robot. -yeah. yes. it's a "cowborg." oh, that's a good idea. do i need bigger horns? -yeah, much more horny. you pig. some of the stories at some point just got really ridiculous and crazy. and yet, because we were going to a fan event, it was kinda fun to let it almost progress a little bit further than we normally would. it's a "cow-tapult." -dave, stacy, how's the competition going so far? we have a lot of pieces, but i think we're on the right track. josh, why don't you tell us what you guys are working on? we have a little house of ill repute going on here. it's a cow club, but the pigs have come in. -he's relieving himself in the bush right here. yeah, he's super-fast. he's turning round, round this guy. i'm expecting some people to look at them and go... really? -is this the best you got? the lego fans don't know they'll be competing against lego designers until jamie shows up. i just have to look at your animal because we were trying to see how you did it. he's making us look bad. time's up! -we finished. make sure your moc is arranged the way you want it to be seen. step outside and come back in ten minutes. congratulations! let's bring them in, let them know what's going on. -you guys did such a great job, it was really hard to tell who was our champion. so, number 8, won't you stand by your moc, please? winner is number 8! we basically split off. we each built a mech. -so i built the pig mech, and chris built the cow mech. so they're kind of like rock 'em sock 'em robots? yeah, i think what we really liked about the moc, and what made it really win, was the fact that not only did you use the small pig and cow heads here, but you also constructed robotic ones from scratch with the bricks you were provided. the winner was, i definitely agree... -was really a standout. i knew we'd have tough competition. these are some really amazing builders. i mean, i'd like to think that we came in the top 28, which was pretty good. shortly after the master build -jamie introduces the new parisian cafe set to much fanfare. then participants gather in the main hall for the annual award ceremony. alice finch's rivendell build is being considered for the coveted people's choice award. the people's choice awards are those voted upon by the public. we counted all those up, and we came up with -winners of people's choice. and the winner is... rivendell! it's a pretty amazing feeling to have 10,000 people say that they like what you build. to have a woman win is pretty unusual. -to have the same person win three years in a row is unheard of. one of the fundamental ways we know about humans and our history is by the things that they build. maybe little plastic bricks are a modern adaptation of that, but really it's about creating something. we are definitely at the core of what is human, is the capacity to build. in the big picture, life on earth has evolved through millennia by adapting to the surroundings, until the point where we invent tools, technology. -we suddenly get the capacity to adapt our surroundings to life. so we now no longer have to suffice with a cave we can find or a tree we can climb into. we can actually build our own cave, and we can build our own tree house. the moment where we really became human was the moment where we got this power. it's also a mindset somehow. -it's believing that anything is possible if you have the right tools in front of you. sometimes we don't have an opportunity to just be free, and everything that we have inside of us, we never have an opportunity to let it out. and we're always looking for something to inspire us or to just give us some joy. being able to take your dreams and take your thoughts and materialize into something, it's just a wonderful gift, and i think the lego brick has given that to the world. in idaho, jonathan and matt are nearly finished editing their masterpiece, melting point. -the x-wing has landed permanently in frankfurt germany. in copenhagen, soren is still trying to figure out just how infinite the possibilities are. and in the czech republic, stephen's curiosity rover is finally rolling off the assembly line. oh wow, that's a lot of rovers. awesome. -that's really nice-looking box art. oh, yeah, that's the great thing about cuusoo sets, they have the best boxes. oh, there i am. it's me. there you are. -"it's my hope that this model encourages the public support that is integral to the continued development and exploration of outer space." yeah. i'm glad stephen mentioned space. didn't we start this film out there? i promised we'd explain that, and seeing how this is the end of the movie, now is the time. for that story, we go to pasadena, california, and nasa's jet propulsion laboratories, or jpl for short. -as engineers and scientists are developing space craft ideas and missions to go out and explore and learn about the universe, we sometimes use legos to kinda put together a concept and see if it makes sense. so there's a room here at jpl called the left field, and it actually has these toys, sort of a kid's dream. has big boxes of legos, and scientists and engineers get together and actually construct something that looks a little bit like the spacecraft they want. lift off of the atlas 5 with juno on a trek to jupiter. the juno project is a nasa mission that was launched in august of 2011 to go to jupiter, and we will use our instruments to learn about jupiter's formation and other solar systems around other stars. -but the lego system was not just a part of the design process. we're onboard! nasa engineers have mounted three aluminum friends of mine to the hull of the juno spacecraft. the three minifigures are modeled after galileo the scientist, jupiter the god and the goddess juno. -they're attached to the main deck of the spacecraft. they were made by the lego company, to nasa specifications, of a special spacecraft-grade aluminum. sometimes i imagine, what are they seeing in their voyage? they're able to see this incredible view. in fact, they're seeing the view that we all want to see. -we're living vicariously through these lego minifigures. they represent humanity in many ways. almost everything in the universe is built from something else, some fundamental building block like an atom or a molecule, and for me, lego represents one of those fundamental building blocks. and look how many things we've built from this simple toy. action. -action. cut! release the hounds! now, was that... was this a joke? was this supposed to be funny? -'cause i don't know if i... i certainly don't get this. who wrote this? in kladno we produce big models for legoland parks and for lego markets. there's a lot of different stuff we can do. -what people don't know is we have computer programs where model builders see the layers. there is not visible every single brick. there is steel construction inside. we are looking forward to the biggest project we've ever built. it's secret. -nobody should know about the project. this is going to be the biggest lego model ever built. even we can't believe this will be a reality. we have a big team here. there is a designer, there is a technical developer, there is team of model builders and mechanics. -the beginning of our process is design. then in technical development, it's about designing internal steel construction. we have a lot of challenges in front of us. we don't have much time for every single step. there will be eight tons of bricks used. -so they have to produce the bricks for us for a couple weeks in billund. it's crazy. took me about nine months to complete it. it's not just building, of course, it's research. i had to find all the pictures for the model and all the parts. -i wasn't sure until the end if it's going to work and drive because of the weight, but i was lucky with that. if i win, then i will build it twice this size and ride on it through the desert. we challenged them to build model cities in legos, and these constructions arise out of the children's search for solutions in the community in which they're living. this is our community. our space. -every rotten thing that you can imagine is in these rivers. it was our friend who had the idea to build a bridge to show the difference in our society, and it made us take a bigger view of things. it's showing them that the power of change, the power of an idea that begins small can sometimes have a large effect. we are finally in new york. we are really near to final stage. -and it's just a couple of weeks more, and that's it. we are on schedule, but it's-- even just unpacking the pieces-- it's not like in five minutes. it takes like half a day. it takes time. we need a couple of days for everything. -this first, it stays where it is. second, the engine. and then the rest of the wing. there are still challenges in front of us because we have only night until morning. it's seven in the morning, and it's done. -what can i do to make you stay? (speaks italian) huh? you're the light of my eyes. oh! -i bet you say that to all the girls. normally i talk about the shiny hair or... something like that. (sighs)... i don't wanna go home. then don't. -i'm starting uni, real life. but we can make it work. i'll... taylor, this is real life. i love you. -(muted dialogue) (camera clicks) (camera clicks) (pa announcement in italian) business or holiday? -your first time in puglia? no, i was here three years ago. t-bag! t-bag is here! it's so good to see you. -my little pupalina. ah! grazie mille. prego. come on! -so... how was the flight? how were the exams? is it raining in england? tell me it's raining. it's raining, isn't it? -this place is... wait till you see the inside. come on! (shrieking) oh, my god! -it's not quite the pensione i recommended. isn't it heaven? so... how are you? fabulous! -really? uh-huh. what's on your ipod? er... i don't know. -but i can tell you it would not be "nothing compares to you". don't tell me you're actually over doug? doug who? this is the best holiday ever. i'm in love. -puglia's beautiful, isn't it? uh-huh. i knew you'd love it. thanks for flying me out. hey, i wanted to celebrate your graduation. -congratulations on being officially the clever one, by the way. thank you. you'll always be better at ballet. hmm... true. so bringing you here was surprise number one. -are you decent? who, me? lil! oh, my god! my little professor. -maddie never said you'd be here. oh, well, when she told me doug had dumped her, i was like, "yes, hallelujah, man-tox time!" and is there a better way to spend my book advance? tiziana. -(tiziana) eh? (in italian) more aperol spritz, please? si. (continues in italian) and a glass for you. per me? -(whispers) she's a bit grumpy. nice italian, though. oh, she has got very familiar with the italian tongue. so tell her. i'm getting married. -sorry, i thought you said you were getting married. isn't it amazing? oh, my god! not to doug? oh, god, no! -but... you're on man-tox. you're supposed to be finding yourself. well, i did. here i am. and there he was, so there we are. -are you crazy? how long have you known this guy? five weeks, but it's enough. when you know, you know, you know? you said that about doug... -and marcel and connor. and tarquin. this is different, he's... sensitive and kind and gentle. definitely not doug, then. he's just the most wonderful thing... (thud) -grazie. prego. at least tell me it's a long engagement. that's why i had to get you here. the wedding is in two days. -that is insane. i know! don't look at me. puglia was your idea. i don't remember telling her to... marry the first man she found when she got out of the taxi. -he's wasn't the first man. he was, like, at least the fourth. have you lost your mind? mmm. look, t, i was freaked out as well, but he is a great guy and you know i never say that. -i just can't believe he wants to marry me. oh, god, please don't start that again. (sighs) you know why. i do? -yes. because you're a goddess. (groans) yes, well, i suppose that must be it. whoa! -tss! (inaudible) ooh... really sorry. (sighs) what? -what am i supposed to say? i'm thrilled? well... i'm thrilled it's not doug. i'll drink to that. -i look forward to meeting him. well, you will, tonight. there's a dinner. you're gonna love him. anyway... what about you? -anything to report? finals went ok. i may have messed up one paper. no, i don't mean boring stuff. i meant boys. -oh, come on! you're out of the library now. you've got to let your hair down and your inner goddess out. i'm not like you. i don't go all wobbly every time a boy takes his shirt off. -maybe she's just saving herself for her old flame? who? what? this is where t fell in love too, isn't it? taylor doesn't fall in love, -she's too sensible. ok. what? i'm your sister and i don't know this. hello? -it was just a holiday romance. just a holiday romance? why didn't you tell me? you were in the middle of one of your worst breakups with doug. so, what happened? -nothing. the holiday ended and uni started and life just got in the way. this is so exciting! you're back here. maybe you could rekindle the whole thing. -no... he was off to travel the world. exs are like fireworks. never go back to them. either they blow up in your face or... -or they go all limp. i think i might get changed and pop down to the beach. see if i recognise any of the old crowd. ok. taylor! -oh, my god! oh, my god! i can't believe you're here! three years we've been waiting for you, we'd given up. and you, when did you get back? -i never left. i couldn't leave enrico. what? does raf know you're here? ciao, bella! -what are you doing here? oh, that's nice! no, no. dio mio, it's great to see you. but it's been ages, babes. -hello, stranger! hi! so, finally you come back, huh? yes. how are you guys? -good. molto bene, grazie. pretty much the same. he's still sunburnt. oi! -that's a healthy colour, that. and you guys are still together? yeah, of course. nothing changes. yeah, but not everything is the same, you know? -taylor? i see you've met my fiancé. your... what do you think? a bit too gorgeous, isn't he? -this is your fiance? yeah. do you guys know each other? er... no! -hi, i'm taylor, maddie's sister. she... she's your sister? yeah. can't you see it? t and i are like peas in a pod. -what is that? t is for taylor. t is for taylor. what? do you know these guys? -no! hi, i'm taylor. nice to meet you. hi, how are you? they're normally much friendlier than this. -guys, it's my sister. ah-ha! well, welcome to puglia, taylor. (enrico) taylor, hi. oh, so that's why you're here, for your sister's wedding. -yes, yes! and i am just so excited! i knew you'd approve once you met him. isn't he divine? yes, er... sorry, sunstroke! -i think i need to go and lie down in a dark room. well, i'll come with you. no, no, no. i'll be fine. taylor. -taylor! are you all right? i just don't want maddie to know. but you and raf... a holiday romance, years ago. -it was so totally nothing. it's better to just pretend it never happened because it pretty much never did. ok, if you say so. i'll see you at the dinner. yeah. -(elena) have you got a husband at home? (lil) several but, none of them are mine. no, i don't do romance, marriage or biological clocks. oh, lil, everyone needs a man sometimes. i just change the battery. -so, lil, what do you do? i write erotic fiction. ooh... if you need any help researching, i'd be happy to, er... i'm in italy, babe. -i'm not ordering the fish and chips. (mikey) i'm spaghetti bloody vongole! i can't believe they're sisters. why not? er... yeah, like, you're just... sisters. -what? come on, rafa, speech. (mikey) give it up for the man himself, mio migliore amico. that was beautiful, mikey. thank you. -no, you're beautiful. no, you're beautiful. i could just stare at him all day. er... i'm getting married. -(enrico) yes, raf. (mikey) hey! (raf) miss maddie. (maddie) mm-hmm. my friends can tell you that i don't really, usually, fall in love so easy. -but... with you it was truly love at first sight. what can i say? you're amazing. passionate. brave. -not afraid to show the world how you feel. i'm just so lucky you're mine. to maddie. (all) to maddie. all right, babe, your turn. -oh, no, no... yeah. ok, yes, yes, yes. er... well, i know that this has come as a bit of a surprise to some of you, not least to myself. er... -t... mum's not with us anymore, but, er... well, you and lil are all the family i need. you were the one who sent me here and i can't thank you enough because look what i found. er... i've made a lot of mistakes over the years, and, raf, i have to be honest, when i met you, i thought, -"he's gonna be another one that won't last. "it's just another holiday romance." but then suddenly i knew that some holiday romances are meant to last forever. whoo! taylor. -hey! nice to see you again. this is crazy, huh? yeah, but that's maddie. she loves a big show. -i mean, i had no idea maddie was your sister. yeah, she has been my whole life. i understand, but... but if i'd known, i would never... but we're in love, so... -yes. and i'm so thrilled. congratulations. thank you, and i'm pleased you graduated. that was what you wanted, right? -so, er... congratulations to you too. thanks. ok, this is weird. no, it's not. it's the opposite of weird, it's totally 'unweird'. -we gotta tell her. no. ok, maybe it is a bit weird. but just because it's weird for us doesn't mean it needs to be weird for mads. i don't wanna keep secrets from her. -she's my sister. she means everything to me. if anyone deserves to be happy, it's her. so let's just forget it ever happened, please, and keep out of each other's way. there you are. -(both) hey! getting to know each other already? yeah. great, because i have a few wedding-y things i need you to do for me tomorrow, like help raf sort out his suit, make sure he looks gorgeous for me. you'll get on like a house on fire. -so much for you to talk about! whoop! whoo! hey, guys, i'm coming! i thought you wanted to kite-surf the world. -we are. the honeymoon. oh, funny. maddie always said she wanted paris. would you like to try them on? -oh, no, no, no. i'm not the bride, i'm... it's someone else that he's marrying. i'm no one. i'm just a friend. -i mean, the sister of the bride. i guess what people want can change. perfect. i didn't change, raf. i just couldn't drop everything and run off... -into the sunset with you. yeah, i know. your "real life", right? how's that working out for you now? great! -cool. are you seeing anyone? i don't wanna talk about it. oh, sorry. why are you sorry? -well, that's a no, isn't it? no, actually, it's not necessarily a no. i just don't wanna talk about it. i think that sort of thing is private and doesn't need to be sung from the rooftops. i forgot. -never say what you feel, right? i just don't see why people have to make such a spectacle of their feelings. because if someone sings it from the rooftops, you know that they really mean it, and that's what weddings are all about. buongiorno. (shop assistant) buongiorno. -what do you want me to do, taylor? become a monk? i don't know, maybe not fall in love with my sister? but how could i know she was your sister? i never met two people less like each other. -what's that supposed to mean? ciao. salve. (speaks italian) you're the one who broke it off, and you forgot all about me! -i didn't forget about you, i was working on my degree. whatever. and, anyway, i'm not the one who spends all his days on the beach with hot girls in bikinis. come on! you know i wasn't interested in them. -i was waiting for you to come back, like you said, but then i realised you weren't, and then i met maddie, and she was so open, so positive, so full of life. full of life? so i'm not full of life? but... maybe you are, but how would anyone know? we shouldn't be listening to this. -come on, let's go. "don't make a spectacle of your feelings." maddie made me happy again, ok? she brought me back to life. how many times do i have to say how happy i am for you? -why are you so angry? i'm not angry! (speaks italian) i think we're done. (gasps) -oh! doug! oh, you do miss me. what are you doing here? i'm hereto rescue you from making the worst mistake of your life. -that is so sweet. only you were the worst mistake of my life, so... mads, mads, mads, mads, come on! i know we've had our ups and downs, but that's all part of our thing, isn't it? it's a ride. -it's a great, fun, sexy rollercoaster. all right, maybe we've had a big down these last few months. you dumped me! that just means we're due for a big up. know what i'm saying? -bobcat... doug, i don't want your great, big, sexy... ride anymore. i want to get off. i should never have let you go, madison jones. hmm... -i messed up. i'm man enough to admit that. oh, this again! come on, we are incredible together. you know that. -just go! one more chance. come on, you owe me that. i don't owe you anything, except maybe a smack. how can you say that? -sorry! this is why i don't want to see you. the idea that i can't survive without you! which part of "i don't want you" don't you understand? the don't. -i've been out with some jerks in my time, but you are in a class of your own. oh, thank you! why did i put up with it for so long? the hope, i suppose, that some day you'd be the one who'd go down on one knee. certainly tried every other position. -just... leave me alone! all right, i get it. had to try, right? i'll go. -on one condition: have dinner with me tonight. it's my hen night. we'll do it early, very low-key. no. -come on. if those five years meant anything to you, one last meal. i can wish you well, show you there's no hard feeling. and then you'll go? on my honour. -(scoffs) (sighs) ok. (footsteps approaching) (scoffs) -what's he doing here? lil... oh, you're such a good friend to maddie. she always looks so great standing next to you. and you were always such a good boyfriend to her, because she always looked so young standing next to you. -he's just leaving. see you tonight... love monkey. tonight? it's under control. -it's never under control with doug. he's your kryptonite. and he's a dick. hmm... mmm... -aah... yeah... (elena) it was horrible hearing raf and taylor fight like that. they used to be so close. is he still hurt that she didn't come back? or is it the stress of us having to pretend we don't know taylor? -or maybe it's just all the stress of the wedding. yeah, could be. or could it be that they were both body-snatched by aliens and are planning to take over the universe? whatever you think, amore. whoa! -i love it when you give me your attention. argh! (mikey) outrageous! wanna play, do ya? what's your problem? -my problem is that i hate lying and i'm terrible at keeping secrets. ooh, what's the secret? er... i'm pregnant. oh, my god! -that's amazing. you're happy, right? yeah, yeah, it's just really early days and we're trying to keep it a secret. oh, yeah, of course. oh, but, wow! -and you, are you excited? still taking it in, really. god, you guys are gonna make the most amazing parents. what you gonna do? ow! -please don't! stop it, woman! how did you get on? it was great. really, really well. -so, taylor, is there someone you'd like to invite to the wedding? how do you mean? well, like a plus one. oh, no. well, what about the guy from three years ago? -what guy? oh, that guy? er... no, forget about him. that guy, he's, er... he's gone. i'll go for a swim, hmm? -ok. gone? gone where? just... gone, ok? well, does he know how you feel? -if you want someone, you have to follow your heart. it might not be part of the plan but you can't just do nothing, you have to tell them. (taylor) he moved on. please. oh, i'm sorry, hon. -why? don't be sorry. well, it would be nice for you to have someone there. i'm not you. i'm fine by myself. -no one is fine by themselves. yes, maddie. you should try it sometime. permesso... i got flowers for madison jones. -oh, gorgeous! raf knows me so well. oh, i love pink roses. "looking forward to seeing you tonight, doug." what's he doing here? -he just turned up out of the blue and hijacked me. it's just a final farewell. well, slamming the door in his face said it perfectly. well, it's nicer this way. grazie. -what are you doing? don't worry, i can look after myself. when? when have you ever been able to look after yourself? like, all the time. -yes, i'm out there, and yes, sometimes i make mistakes. you think? i know, taylor, ok? but i live with those mistakes, and i don't expect anyone else to sort them out for me. it's better than locking your heart away, too scared of getting hurt. -i've lived with your mistakes. where do you think i've been for the past five years? and three years before that? and 18 months before that? did it ever occur to you that maybe the reason i'm not all over guys all the time is because i've seen what a fool you've made of yourself again and again and again? -well, i'd rather be like that than the other way. and if i've made you afraid of opening yourself up to love, then i'm truly sorry. is that my necklace? just get off my stuff, ok? ok, ladies, break it up. -time to go. go where? the tomato festival. i'm not in the mood. that's why you're coming. -oh, i wish i could, but i have a team of brilliant people coming to pluck, wax and tint me to within an inch of my life. well, you're excused. you're not. i like tomatoes, i really do. but a whole festival? -it sounds lame. (sighs) (sighs) is that it? we gotta get clean before it dries. -come on. where? oh! (sighs) low-key? -you deserve a decent send-off. you look stunning. well, i'm in love. but then you always look stunning. ah, my favourite. -to... new beginnings. now, that i will drink to. remember the first time we opened a bottle of this? we stayed up all night, watched the sun come up. you said you could listen to my voice forever. -no, i probably said it felt like i'd been listening to your voice forever. and, if i remember rightly, you only ever talked about yourself. no, i don't believe that, baby kitten. i'm sure you talked about me too. oh, god... what am i doing here? -right. come home. no, here. i'm getting married in the morning. sounds like you're trying to convince yourself. -no, i'm trying to get it into your thick head. fine, fine. you want to get back at me. i understand that. but don't mess things up for yourself and this poor kid in the process. -doug, believe it or not, not everything is about you. oh, please! you're only doing this to punish me. no, i came here to find myself. and i did. -in raf. i'd like to find myself... in you. oh, god... come on, mads. five minutes you've known this guy. -five weeks, and he's got to know me better than you did in five years. do you know why? you didn't let him do that thing i wanted? oh, you filthy little squirrel. he listens to me. -i listen to you. oh, please, you don't let me... i love listening to you. i... i love listening to those sweet little sighs you make in your sleep. -that crazy singing of yours in the shower. that noise you made that night at the george cinq. i think the whole of paris heard that. it was a wonderful night. and this is... -it's wonderful. this stuff you're great at, the chase. it's the follow-through that lets you down. and i wanted more, doug. i wanted marriage. -we were perfect as we were. why spoil it? no, do you know what's perfect? we never have to have this conversation ever again because i've found true happiness. that kid will never be man enough for you. -raf is young, yeah, but he's a grown-up. you're not young, but you're a child. thank you. no, that wasn't a... god, you don't even want to grow up. -the thing about peter pan is... he can fly. (sighs) he ends up alone. it's beautiful. -do you understand? do you understand? do you feel the same? i need to know. (taylor) you can't be here. -something happened back there. no! tell the truth. truth about what? surprise! -oh, god, it's him! he was the guy. she's the ex? mads, i'm so sorry. it's all my fault. -yeah, but i-i... i can explain. please, i can do this. he was the guy, a guy. and i didn't want to tell you because it was nothing. -but then you just kept going on at me about how i never let anyone in and i started thinking, "did i make a terrible mistake?" and then we were on the beach, all covered in tomatoes, and there was this sunset and suddenly it was three years ago and i looked into his eyes and i knew... i don't feel anything for him. i never did. he's been desperate to tell you because he doesn't want to keep secrets from you. -but i didn't want you to know because i didn't want to spoil everything and well, you always make such a huge drama out of everything, which is why you two are so perfect together. but now i'm the one who's ended up making a huge drama out of nothing. i know i've been a really shit sister. and i'm so, so sorry. is this true? -yes. and do you still have feelings for her? no, i feel absolutely nothing for her. (sighs) i'm so sorry. -(lil clears her throat) hen night? as in girls only. as in we don't wanna see you again until the church. i should probably just go. -yeah. well, what are you waiting for? it's my hen party already. you look like shit. go and get changed. -are you sure you want me there? don't be stupid, t. we all make mistakes. oh, yes! and tonight i intend to make a whole lot more. hey! -you all right? yeah. what's up, mate? huh? just can't wait for the wedding to be over. -just wanna be married already. you got a whole lifetime of that, fratello. i know. enjoy your last night of liberty, eh? come on! -(clears throat) do you, er... do you wanna talk about it? about what? look... is this about taylor? -i've got to ask... have you still got feelings for her? no, that would be really stupid. no. are you sure? -yeah. allora... can we duct-tape you to a pole now, please? yeah? in a minute. -(ripping) oh... you shouldn't be here. i'm not. you're dreaming. -i'm getting married in the morning. and i couldn't be happier for you, really. really? that's what i came to say. you have my blessing. -oh... doug, that's so sweet. aah! no, no, no! what? -what, you think i've come here for...? (doug scoffs) although it is your last night as a single woman. you could call this my... wedding gift to you. -just get us a toaster! out! ow! (sighs) (pa) last call for departure flight 2901 to london, immediately boarding at gate 3. -this plane... onward... whoa! stop, stop. doors to manual, emergency. -hey... ciao, bello. you are in love with him. oh, t... (sighs) -i've made a... small fortune writing books about love. i feel like i should have some wisdom to impart. all i can think is 50 different ways to say orgasm. everything i know about real love i've learnt from you and maddie. you know, you've got me through some really tough times, and i know you two have had it tougher than most. -but we've always got through it together. we've always had each other, haven't we? when your mum died... maddie told me that what really broke her heart was that your mum would never be at your wedding day. you've done the hard part now. -don't you wanna be there for her? well, how long have we got? shit! where have you been? where's raf? -where have you been? it's my fault. she had to stop me from performing an ill-advised aviation stunt, which is never a good idea after 12 sambucas and a minestrone. you look beautiful. just one sec. -(bells chime) (sighs) you look beautiful. taylor, am i making a fool of myself again? raf's not like those other guys. -he's a keeper. you done good. and what about you? are you... really ok with this? come on. -maddie. no matter what, you've never given up on love. you followed your heart wherever it leads. that's how i wanna be. christ, don't make me cry now! -i know it's out there for you. you just have to grab it when you see it, ok? oh, where's your dress? sorry... er... it's not the only thing that's missing. -er... my thong has gone! what? this is news? right. -are we ready? (mouths) yeah. ok. yes. you all right, ragazzo. -you look a bit perduto. no, i'm fine. i was just running naked down the street missing my own wedding cos some idiot left me duct-taped to a tree with a donkey. ah, the donkey! please everyone be seated. -welcome everyone to the wedding of madison and raffaele. before we proceed, i'm obliged to ask... does anyone know of any just cause or impediment why these two should not be wed? oh, sit down, doug. oh, i think i'm gonna throw up. -he has that effect on everyone. let me ask again if anyone knows a cause why these two should not be wed. well? (maddie) wait. raf... -oh... all my life i've gone from wrong guy to wrong guy and now, finally, to have found a guy who's right who's kind and decent and beautiful inside and out. because... you are the right guy. but it's not right. not for me. -i came here to find myself and i found you. this is the same thing i always do: running off into the arms of a man and losing myself. er... it's incredible to me that someone as amazing as you wants to marry me. how could i not get caught up in that? -the big church wedding, this... it's everything i've ever dreamed of. until now. i'm in love with love. but am i in love with you? -i don't think that i am. i'm so sorry. you deserve to be loved wholeheartedly. (whispers) turn back time. -find a way. i love you. (bells chime) ah, shake, shake, shake. shake, shake, shake, shake. -amore. you don't have to pretend to be pregnant anymore. i'm a terrible liar. no, my love, you did great. no. -i'm a terrible liar. whoa! you're gonna be a papa'. but... no, wait, wait, wait! weddings, eh? -get everyone going, don't they? do you, er... do you fancy a cocktail? no, i'll have a beer, thanks. goes better with fish and chips. (sighs) -mmm... (taylor) are you gonna be all right on your own? i'm not on my own. i've got you... and the best friends in the world. lady cuddle? -(both) lady cuddle. oh... ah! oh, here we go. the things you do to keep me interested. -well, it worked. (buckle fastening) i don't wanna risk losing you again. you want to be peter pan. i can help you with that. -(buckle fastening) (chuckles) what? never grow up? (continues chuckling) -fly! (buckle fastening) whoa! (screams) (lil) bye! -(taylor) later! (screams) subtitling by motion picture solutions wind blows this programme contains some strong language. -we are not supposed to be afraid of death. i am. 'what happened to life? 'you lazy man.' you coward. -why didn't you do more? when he was a little boy and he was asked what he wanted to do when he grew up, he said he wanted to be either... a parson or a clown! he is very clever and i often think to myself, this is absolutely crazy. here you are, without a ha'penny to your name and, yet, you ought to be one of these people running the country, instead of the daft lot we have got now. erm... -she laughs but he wouldn't want to do that. erm... but he is capable of extraordinary things. he is an extraordinary person. i have known garnet for more than 30 years. -he is an unusual character. he is, um... he is highly-talented in many directions, but he is also, a sort of, rather romantic idealist. he embarks on so many things which are interesting and valuable, but really never give him any money. he has always been short of money - painfully short, on occasion. -recently, he got interested in houdini and i helped him make a cart for this box, this, sort of, trunk that he was going to climb into and then he has got to get out of. it's all about rehearsal. lid comes up. leg over side. they have all got tremendous potential, but don't necessarily all, sort of, materialise into anything. -garnet has always struggled a bit, like that. 'i have got not only this, but also the mind-reading, of course, ' and walking through a brick wall! it is when he is working on his own that everything runs out of steam. ultimately, it always does. this. -garnet chuckles you're allowed to give me a hand. ow! you naughty boy! singing fades to echoes -'i still don't... 'i still don't have a wife or children of my own. 'what could i offer a woman? i can't really set up a household. 'i couldn't afford to pay a mortgage or run a car.' -i don't even drive a car. 'it's, i suppose, you know, that sense of, you know, 'ultimate intimacy and union with somebody is still something 'that a part of me' yearns for... and will do all my life, whatever happens. gentle lapping about 20 years ago, i visited the highlands for the first time... -thunder rumbles ...in search of what, i don't know. i loved the idea of the solitude and the isolation. i didn't have a tent and i didn't have a sleeping bag. all i had, really, in the way of provisions, was two fruit loaves and 60 embassy number 1. i had made the mistake of assuming that the numbers on the contours lines referred to feet, whereas, in fact, they referred to metres. -so i was somewhat out in my calculations. "help!" and i found myself slipping and sliding and tumbling and, eventually, i, more or less, rolled on to a tiny little section of beach. and wedged in the rock, standing perpendicularly, was this curious staff. it is this. -the mysterious staff of gaulvane, i call it. but this staff has haunted me for all these years. police siren this is where i went 20 years ago, and that's where i found the staff. was it hidden, or...? -it was wedged in the bank of the stream, on the far side of the stream. just wedged in. yeah. i had to get into the stream and wade through the water in order to get this thing. how weird that you found it. -it is very, very strange, yes. 'in 1746, two ships arrived on the west coast of scotland 'bearing a cargo of gold... '..40,000 golden coins. 'this money was intended as a war chest for bonnie prince charlie, 'who wanted to regain the throne on behalf of the stuart line 'and who had a lot of supporters, especially in scotland. 'but by the time the money arrived, bonnie prince charlie and his. -'highland army had already been defeated at the battle of culloden. 'and so the money was carried into the highlands and hidden... '..somewhere on the shores of loch arkaig... '..which is exactly where i found myself stranded 20 years ago. 'apparently, they buried the gold under a rock in a rivulet.' well, i found the staff wedged into a rock in a small rivulet. -maybe the staff that i found in the stream in fact is a marker for the position of the gold. what i want to do is to go back up there and have a look. at a conservative estimate, er, it would be worth something in the order of one billion pounds. he is actually challenging the possibility of this gold being there. he's had that stick all these years, and basically the story's based round the discovery of that and everything that it means. -what i need to do, i need you to put your dose of steroid up. i don't think you're having enough steroid, and that needs to go to six tablets once a day, which is 30 milligrams. 30? ok. any other problems? -no? no. no, not really, except for being old. well, that, unfortunately, is not something we're very good at treating on the national health. i shall be 90 this month. -you've got a big birthday coming up, haven't you? we'll have to get you a bit better for that. same day as the queen's! isn't she lucky to share my birthday! isn't that a treat? -i don't want to drop the door on you. it has been very frustrating for me for the past few years, because if i'm going to make a reasonable job of looking after my mum, that means i've got to be around the place and i've got to, you know, sort of dance to whatever tune is necessary, the doctors' visits and all the tablets and all this sort of thing. 'no sooner have i done one thing than, lo and behold, 'it's time to do another one. -'time's going by.' erm, and here i am, just sort of stuck in this sort of nowhere land, this limbo. er, i'm afraid there's no, erm, tartare sauce. 'during the war, a fellow student was lucian freud. 'he tried to seduce me... 'avidly when i was 19 and was very annoyed when i wouldn't, er...' -she chuckles ...wouldn't succumb. what else have i done? back in the '70s, i made up action songs and singing games for children. one of these songs, it's gone worldwide. it's sung all over the world by children. -well, thinking this through, there's quite a lot of costs involved. i'm going to need a boat, obviously, and, erm there's got to be a vehicle to tow the boat or take the boat up there and, erm, maybe metal detectors, lifejackets, i don't know what else. erm, and it's all adding up to quite a bit of money... that i haven't really got. i could ask my mum for money, i suppose, but i don't really want to do that. well, we'll just have to see. -so, we'll go down here and join joe, who is doing some extra preparation on the boat here. right. ok. it's a bit wibbly-wobbly, but... it's all right, isn't it? -er... get a nice, firm grip. and up. how heavy is it? it doesn't feel too bad. -for a second or two. yeah. they laugh. ok. that's it. -ok, that looks magnificent, doesn't it? right... well, i've known ann... ann's a bit older than me, so... er, she's maybe 62 or something. i'm 64 now, so i was about 20, 24 when i met him. -well, it's about 35 years, something like that. no, 40 years. we'll just start off with the absolute basic "turn it on"! he chuckles beeping -he's one of the most imaginative, erm, exciting people that i've ever met. shall i put it in here? it's not very well hidden. right, i'll hide it more, then. 'but he has such high ideals.' -beeping straight on it. straight on it. it's quite hard to live up to the sort of things that he would like a woman to be, i think. just going to hammer this in and i'll make garnet sweep. -he hasn't seen where i've put it. beep. there. sorry, he's just pulling faces! oh, there. -there it is. there it is! yeah, well done. that's one of them. two quid, innit? -laughter have a pint tonight with that. i've developed a little bit of a love interest, you might say, i don't know, or i might have done, anyway, erm, with respect to jilly, who plays the piano in the kendall. and, er, and i wasn't expecting that. -and she said, "oh, have you ever tiled a bathroom?" i said, "yes." so, erm, you know, we're kind of talking about maybe tiling her bathroom, which i'd like to do. well, there's part of me that wants to be in love. erm, and that's part of my nature, i suppose. -i want to be in love. and i can't stop it any more than i can start it. and i can't start it any more than i can stop it. well, we're just on our way down to the clockhouse caff, which is near the station, in order to meet jilly. phone beeps -er, i've got one unread message. hang on, here we go. "oh, garnet, i'm soooo sorry, i completely forgot!" er... well, better go in the cafe and, er, send her a text saying, "does -"that mean you're not coming today at all?", which it implies, because... that's all she says, with lots of exclamation marks and four os in "soooo sorry". i seem to have been asleep, really and i've been waiting for something to come my way that never really has.

'but god, if i don't get on with something now, 'the whole of life will have flitted past.' 20 years ago, when i found the staff in the stream no-one knew where i was. -i had no food or shelter. i was lost. i lay down near the stream and resigned myself to die. but i had no fear. erm, well, for the purposes of this, erm, expedition, -i'm obviously going to need a vehicle and stuff like that, y'know, which are fairly expensive things. and i did have a fella stood by who was going to put up some money, but he dropped out, so it's getting a little bit difficult at the moment. so i suppose the point is, would it be ok...? yes, yes. yeah? -yes. i mean, i could repay it, i guess, you know, when i've managed to sell the things and so on. yes, yes. that's ok. that's fine. -yes. ok, that's really good. thank you. horn honks here he is! -this is it. how about that? finally! hello! all right, garnet? -wow, how about that? i know, this is it. it's four-wheel drive. yeah. it's all mot'd, good tyres. -he says it's been reliable. he says it's one lady owner. i'm not too sure about that! ohhh! how about that? -the old landy! god, i'd love to drive it, actually. oh, you've managed to lock the keys in. yeah. that's exactly what i've managed to do! -are all the keys on that key ring? yes. check that door. oh, that's all right. oh, thank gawd for that! -all the best, mate. ok. i'm sure it'll get you there. ok, brilliant, thank you. thanks again. -you're welcome. marvellous. all the best. we're going to the remotest part of the remotest place in the whole of europe. laughter -it could, by some strange chance, be sort of a virgin opportunity that has merely been overlooked... yeah. - .. over years and years and years. i mean, he spells it out. he spells it out. -marked on the map, isn't it? now, what we're going to do today is test the boat here. no, the other way, joe. that's it. she's had a bit of a knock already! -mighty neptune, please accept this gift of the blood of the vine. engine fails to start oh, god, what's up now? er, well, this will be the helium balloon. maybe that's the only size you can get. -awkward. i need to put that in a vice, really. that's better. well, it will go over... 'so now it's a question of retracing my steps. -'i've got to get back precisely to that point on the stream where. 'i found the staff before.' i know i came in through here somehow and over this mountain range here. 'the question is exactly where. this is the difficult part. -'now, one odd thing i do remember is that 'when i was halfway up the mountain, down below on the flat, 'i could see a mysterious structure probably made of stone.' it had a very, very distinctive shape, something like this, a straight line broken by a circle. "press and hold the button until the indicators turn on." i guess it's working. -and that'll be the... hello! ok. so, if i can find this, then i think i can use it as a guide, as a pointer, towards the pass that leads up and over the mountain precisely to that point on the stream. and so i've got to, i don't know, -i've got to figure out a way of rediscovering this identifying this shape which of course is most clearly visible or distinctive from the air, from above. my mum... she collapsed. and, erm... she's, erm... -yeah, she's in hospital at the moment which worries me deeply, really, because, erm... i mean, they keep talking about sending her back home, and maybe they will. or maybe they won't. and i've just got a feeling that maybe she won't come home now. i don't know. -i don't know. i don't know how to, erm... i don't know how to cope with it, really. he sniffs tearfully oh, fuck. -'in some churches, where there are murals of medieval... 'depictions of hell, 'it shows all these little demons poking people with pitchforks. 'that's a bit what it feels like. 'i don't feel very old. i feel about 40 inside my head. 'you look at your arms and you think, -' "oh, my god, it's an old person's hand" .' and i find it shocking, really when i look at myself. i have very vivid dreams, and i quite often dream that i'm much younger. i dream that i can run and dance and swim and do all those things. stop for a minute... -she chuckles ...while i get my head together. 'i'm... i'm very conflicted about the way i feel about it. 'i have to say i'm conflicted. 'you know, sometimes i just feel annoyed by it, -'i feel ground to dust by it, i really do. 'and i think, "when will this ever end?" you know? ' "when will i be free?"' sometimes i find myself thinking, you know, "for god's sake, why don't you just die?" -then you think, "you bastard. you shouldn't think that at all." erm, you know? "bless her, let her keep going as long as she possibly can." oh, god. -right. just take it easy for a while. that's it. she sighs right... -'i've often thought, "well, you know, my poor mum." 'she must wonder where i'm going, what i'm doing.' i don't know what she might ideally have wanted for me. i don't know. but whatever it was, i'll never quite be that. -lots of people have these ambitious ideas. we all do, really, and we talk about it cos it's a nice idea, but will it ever happen? does it ever happen? he sighs of all the things i nearly done... -there's many, many, many things that i've nearly done but not. show me a man who hasn't. but, erm... hopefully there's still time yet for me to do a little bit of something with what's left of, you know, with what's left of life. well, while i'm away, the paiges will probably do more than is necessary. they'll be rushing in and out with food and cups of tea -and things like that. i'm sure they will, yes. yes. and ann. and ann will show her face. -yes. erm, so, i think it should be fine. touch wood. so, er, i think it should be ok. i mean, i was worried that, you know, maybe... -well, i don't know. he sighs it all sounds all right, anyway. yeah, it... well, yeah. -bye-bye, mum. indistinct conversation enjoy yourself, hm? i'll be fine. you'll be fine, yeah. -i'll do the door. ok. 'well, i hope he finds something, whatever it is.' she chuckles if it's not gold, it's his heart's desire. -it's too beautiful. look over there. that's so beautiful. it's beyond description or belief. well, i've never been here, but i mean, it is just stunning. -it's amazing. i mean, i've never seen anything like it. 'everywhere you turn, there's a mountain, there's water, 'there's wildlife. 'it's a dream place.' piper plays flowers of the forest -laughter and chatter well, apparently charles did bring some gold with him. there's a story that one of rob roy's sons was one of the ones who was also entrusted with it. er, whether the gold exists or not is another story. apparently, it's buried some place along the banks of loch arkaig. -nobody's ever found it. what's the chances of finding it? there's also a rumour that it might be up in glen pean, on the rough bounds of knoydart. there's supposed to be another cache at bannockburn. near bannockburn house there's supposed to be another treasure chest buried. -but that's probably under the motorway now. my idea is that the rock in the stream where i found the staff all those years ago might conceal some sort of underwater cave or cavern or hollow in the river bank, something like that. that's where you think the gold is buried? -yes. thunder rumbles and crashes rain pours down now is quite a crucial moment, you know. 'on the test last time, the propeller let us down.' -and, you know, we've mended it, but it hasn't had another test, so this is the key moment. that boat has got to work. all right, we've got enough water there now to put the motor on. engine fails to start engine starts -yes, it's started. i was brought up mainly by my mum and by my grandmother, her mother, because my parents split up when i was about 18 months old. my dad, he, erm, in fact ran off with the woman i think next door but one on the other side of the road or something, somebody very close by. 'i was 32, i think, 32... 'and went round to his house. -i tracked him down. 'and he said to me, ' "who are you?"' i don't know what a father is, really. i don't know what a father's supposed to be. -that's probably one of the reasons why i haven't had children myself. where there should be a dad there's just a sort of dad-shaped hole. ann: i think i would have found it very difficult to have stayed with. garnet all that time. -and i can't really imagine what life would have been like all these years. we were, you know, very close for i don't know, a total of seven years, something like that. we were together for about eight years. well, you know, she'd stay with me, and i'd stay with her. we had a lot of fun, you know? -because he was always so exciting. he had such good ideas about things, and we'd go off on adventures. we've been on holiday together. we went to the red sea... we'd take the train with our bicycles and we'd go painting for the day. -...and the sinai desert and places like that. you know, it was great fun. he's hard to be with, but also he's very exciting to be with. and she couldn't afford to, you know, wait around, and i don't know, i had other ideas. -i thought... i don't know what i thought. 'it's hard for me to have found out that my relationships that. 'i pursued when i was in my thirties and so forth, that... '..you know, wonderful as they were... '..and painful as they were... '..what did it amount to? -you know, what's left? ' after garnet and i split up, i had two children with somebody else, yeah... which was hard for me, because i wanted to have children with garnet. but you can cut that out! -but you didn't want... no. ohhh! you ok? he groans -he breathes heavily thunder rumbles oh, jesus. thunder rumbles man: -'so, garnet starts on this journey 20 years ago. 'and it's been simmering in his mind ever since. 'what has really been going through his mind all those years? 'how's he going to react when he actually sort of approaches 'that area where he sort of nearly lost his life? ' -because in the end, this is what the whole thing's all about. the story of bonnie prince charlie, the treasure and everything suddenly evaporates. we'll just have to see. we'll see what happens. wow, look at that. -it's so beautiful. that's the mouth of the river. incredible. when i came down the mountainside when i was here 20 years ago, i came down this way. -but that is definitely where i came down and found myself stranded in this tiny cove. and i'm just thinking here, you know, how amazing that i was picked up from that cove. there's nobody here. a similar time of the year. i could've, y'know... -i could've waited there forever and a day and nobody would have come. not a soul. not a soul. as far as the eye can see. it's amazing. -as far as the eye can see, nobody. i can see down there the mouth of the stream, a stream. it must be the stream. i never saw it before, but that's going to run up this way through the glen, underneath the footbridge. and it's somewhere on the other side of that footbridge that i found the mysterious staff of gaulvane, whatever that may mean. -incredible. to be alive, to be alive now, here, in this incredible place, after all these years, still alive, still alive, it's unbelievable. maybe it's all just a... maybe all this, this moment, the whole thing, is just one beautiful illusion. maybe i'll wake up tomorrow and and, er it'll all be gone. -well... it will be gone soon enough whether it's an illusion or not. when i came here 20 years ago, i looked death in the face. dear god, i was lucky to get away with my life. i was 38, i suppose. and maybe it was... -i don't know, maybe it was the last official day of my youth or something, i don't know. i'm 58 now. and time has stood still in this place. well, maybe time has stood still for me. wow, what a day. -what a day. what a place. and it's my birthday, too. so happy birthday to me. we're up above the clouds. -up above the clouds! wow. down there where the mists are now, in the wood in the base of the glen, that's where i found the mysterious staff. we come down from the mountain in the morning before we actually enter the glen, and that's going to be a key moment. and then we go into that place that i've been waiting to return to for all these years. -i'm... i'm... i-i can't wait. stream gurgles it's the same place. -the bridge is different. it's just that the bridge looks different. everything else is... it is the same. so i'm here. -i've returned. i offer you my hand. in there! in there. oh! -ohhh... 'i'm sorry. 'sorry, mum. 'sorry, ann. 'sorry... '..all the people.' -i'm sorry that i let you down. and i'm sorry that i never quite measured up to your expectations of me. sorry that i've hurt you. i'm sorry i've confused you. i'm sorry that i've kept you waiting. -erm... i'm sorry that i didn't make you more proud. sorry i couldn't have done better. it's the way it is. i mean... you say sorry to people, you say sorry to god, you know. -"i'm sorry, god... "..that i wasted my life." and what's he going to think of that? 'perhaps this is my way of... '..it's my way of saying sorry... '..a love letter from me to you, the people that love me... '..something to make you proud of me... '..if you can be. -'you know, it can't make up for all the time that's been lost, 'but it's, er... 'something.' wind howls thunder rumbles thunder crashes hello! -thunderclap huge thunderclap garnet's mother: gold isn't just stuff that you find in the ground or in a box marked x on a map. you know, your life consists a lot of the time in thinking about the past and and your place in it and the friends you had. -and you gather up fragments of gold from those. gold dust. my, my. what a pleasure. thank you, world. -how does it go? of all the things i nearly done i nearly met the aga khan... garnet's mother: yes! she chuckles -i nearly buzzed the southern piers with aevis in his death machine. i nearly traversed across the desert on a camel with a bedouin i nearly painted golden towers i nearly practised the guitar for hours i nearly saw the meaning of a suffering soul -i nearly stormed the pitch and scored a goal i nearly entered my account on time i nearly was an honest man. of the things i nearly done. when all that's nearly done is through. -what's done, what isn't, when the bell has rung. and there is nothing left to nearly do. if i can't grasp a late degree i'll ever say, "it was for lack of loving thee". so let my heart be open and my way be true. -and let me put aside the things i nearly done. and bring me daily closer to the things that i do do. well, you did write that, and i think it's rather a good poem, garnet. music: until the end by liza minnelli and wynton marsalis. -hey! ian! ian, what are you doing! ian! hey! -whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. whoa! ian... stop. ian, what are you doing, man? what are you... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. -what are you doing? are you okay? let's go. hey, stop, please. jeez. -all right, you okay? what are you thinking? all right, let's, um... let's get you off your feet. don't want anymore damage to that ankle, right? -got that, buddy? got that? hurts like heck. add 5 milligrams of morphine, jackson. thank you. -thank you. so you have no memory whatsoever wandering into traffic like that? mnh-mnh. i must've been groggy from the surgery. i'm just amazed you weren't hit by a car out there. -0.3 percent of patients are injured while in hospital. yeah. ian's an actuary, by the way. uh, you work in insurance? uh, i calculate odds for a living, mostly for insurance companies. -oh, you mean like how long people live if they smoke? stuff like that? sure. being an actuary's kind of like being a cross between an undertaker and a booker. ooh! -okay, you have really cracked this plate that i put in your ankle here. this may hurt a little bit. thank you, jackson. uh, go ahead. ask me anything. -i'll tell you how likely it is it'll happen to you. getting bit by a snake. more people are killed by lightning. i wouldn't worry about it. i like this guy. -he's good. ask me something else. odds of getting back together with your ex-girlfriend. why would you even ask... how would you describe your sexual chemistry? -why are you asking me the question? it's his question. how would you describe their sexual chemistry? eh, it's hot. jackson! -hey... alex? you okay? fine. are you having a panic attack? -no, i just... i need to, uh, i just need to sit here for a second. your pulse feels like a rat trapped in a wall. a rat just needs a bagel. -no, you're in a-fib, alex. what? you're in sinus rhythm. it's normal. good, then we're done. -not so fast. it sounds to me like you've had an episode of atrial fibrillation. which can be anything. or it can lead to a stroke, hypotension, or cardiac arrest. -i think i'd know if i had a heart arrhythmia, dawn. clearly not. coffee? two or three cups a day. alex... -okay, four. so eight? mm, you gotta double it. everyone lies. alcohol? -glass of wine after work. maybe two. lately two. coffee could be a factor. undo your top two buttons. -i had a dream about this once. too soon. agreed. okay. okay, i'm going to fit you with a heart monitor. -now it's wireless. you need to wear it for 48 hours, and your e.c.g. is gonna be beamed directly to me. and we're gonna figure out what this is, okay? oh, and charlie, there's something that i need to talk to you about. -can i work with this thing on? i don't know. can you? whoa. charlie did get the better of you, huh? -i wouldn't say got the better of me. where i come from it's called a sucker punch. yeah, we're all just a little surprised you didn't know self-defense. i do know self-defense, as a matter of fact. there's a little thing -i like to call restraint, dr. miller. why? what are people saying about me? oh, nothing really. just kind of, you know... can't believe that you lost the fight. -i didn't lose the fight. that's not what happened. oh, well, well-well, what did happen? if you must know, alex walked in before i got a chance to take a shot at the guy. see, that's exactly what i heard... -that charlie caught you guys making out. he did not catch us making out. mm, caught you guys in bed together. he didn't catch us in bed together. where did you get that from? -that's new information. did you see how i just easily took that from you? zach, do you want me to hit you right now? 'cause i'm feeling the temptation grow. you seem upset. -i feel inconvenienced. you wish you'd hit him back? i do wish i'd hit him back, yeah. i know. conflict resolution? -well, when one doctor hits another doctor, charlie, that's what we do. uh, well, i hit him as a private citizen, so we don't have to do this. but you hit him in the hospital, in the face. i'm not going to anger management, dawn. conflict resolution. -whatever it's called, i'm not doing it. well, then, i'm not gonna let you operate. what? till gavin signs this form certifying that you have gone to conflict resolution, i'm not letting you work. -that is ridiculous. i can't take the risk of the surgical department getting sued because you decide that you're gonna clock a patient. i'm not gonna hit a patient, dawn. you know that. don't make me do this. -you're doin' it. it's probably just a stress-induced arrhythmia. yowch. who hooked you up to the homing device? dawn. -double yowch. well, at least she's not benching you. no, i guess. not to add more stress to your day, but... what? -old friend is here to see you. buenos días, dr. reid. randall, where have you been? méxico. oh! -para usted. do not eat the worm. give you visions. mescal. my favorite. -thank you. you know, i had a premonition i'd see you here today. i work here. that's not exactly a premonition. so what can we do for you today? -your favorite psychic appears to have a hernia. okay, let's get him into imaging. yeah, but he has pancreatic cancer and he's jaundiced. it's mostly tan. it's jaundice. -i'm worried the tumor's obstructing the bile duct, which we also have to deal with. we need an m.r.i. for the bile duct. yeah, that's the problem. what are you doin'? you'll see. -eh, not today. she, uh, she has an arrhythmia. what? that sounds bad. it does but this is gonna put a smile on your face. -you're sure this is cool, right? yeah, yeah, yeah. okay, pull that up. ready? what? -whoa. huh? magnets? see? okay, you have magnets in your stomach. -problem? if we put you in an m.r.i., the magnetic forces are gonna collide and... and basically rip him in two. i'm back. you wanna tell me who put these magnets inside you, randall? -sure. doctors rubio cortestiza y guzman. i did some, uh, alternative therapy with them at their clinic in tijuana. see, the magnets interact with the nanoparticles, reducing the size of the cancer tumors. that's unbelievable. -i know, but it sounds crazy. that's because it is crazy. those border clinics are clip joints, randall. they just want your money. last one. -you know, not everything could be explained away with reason, doctor. buddy of mine told me about this place. i'm feeling good. i am feeling really good. maggie, why don't you try to reduce it now? -what? what do you mean reduce it? we're gonna try and push the hernia back in. why? is that a good idea? -you might feel some discomfort. maggie, press gently. okay. okay. i think he's pushing his stomach muscles out. -okay, let me try. your hernia's incarcerated, which means your intestines are trapped outside the abdominal wall. so, what-wh-what does that mean? i need surgery? you might, but given your cancer, -i'd rather observe you and then try to reduce it again later. we'll get you that m.r.i., and then we'll have to admit you. can you bring him up to imaging? mm-hmm. randall, is there someone we can call? -you know my situation, doc. okay. gavin! i need you to sign this ridiculous form for me, so i can get back to work. you haven't done conflict resolution. -no. so i can't sign this form. this is absurd. joel and i had a conflict, i punched him, the conflict is resolved. it's not that simple. -okay, i've got 15 minutes. conflict resolve me, right now. charlie, i don't have time right now. okay, when? you can meet me at 11:00. -great. great. i'll see you in group. great. what? -did you say group? hey. hi. what's that? i'm a robot, joel. -that's my big secret. are you wearing a holter monitor? i have a stupid arrhythmia. i don't wanna talk about it. okay. -what? i have a busted face, you are wearing a heart monitor, and i kissed you. you wanna talk about any of these things? joel. alex. -alex, alex! yeah? your tracings are going... a little crazy. nice try. -oh, great. graffiti. nerd graffiti. randall? hi. -hi. we got your m.r.i. back. there's some sludge in your bile duct. but, uh, the good news is, it's not completely obstructed. however, there is some bad news. -hi! hi! that's so great. wow, the nurses gave you some pain meds, huh? pfft, yeah. -i have a button. yes, you do. this is so off... i am so off the wagon. oh, randall. -it's okay, it's okay. hey, do you know how to watusi? no. no? okay. -you throw your arms back like there's a bee in your sleeve, and you watusi. you know your grandma crane was a dance hall champion? no. no, you did not. again with the no. -mm-hmm. see, these are the things i wanna pass down to you. i came to see if you needed backup, but randall you seem... fine. he's pretty out of it. i think he thinks i'm his daughter. -great randall has a daughter? yeah, they're estranged. hey. yeah. i need your wallet. -yes, sweetie. i always have a fiver for ice cream. are we going for ice cream? no, he keeps her phone number on him. i love you. -i love you. that's nice. hey, randall. i'm gonna call leslie. yeah. -kat, have you seen my patient, mr. taft? the gentleman with the bad ankle. nope, sorry. what do you mean you haven't seen him? he hasn't been here. -hasn't been here. awesome. so someone just let him wander off. hey. ian? -he's not bothering you is he, reycraft? nope. awesome, because he is a patient, sleepwalking on a badly broken ankle, writing on a doctor's lounge room wall. yep, i see that. sleepwalking. -yeah, his eyes are open. freaky. doesn't concern you at all? no. no. -my sister sleepwalks. she drove a car to hamilton. he does mathematics. oh, he's an actuary. ooh, that sucks. -doing your job in your sleep? he's putting way too much pressure on that ankle. yeah, you're right. okay. should we wake him up? -no. bad news to startle a sleepwalker. is it really bad news? it's bad news. i thought it was a myth. -come on. ian... joel. ian. what? -ian, hey, man. whoa, whoa, whoa. hey, hey, hey! stop it! ian, ian, ian. -it's okay, hey, it's okay. it's okay. you're sleeping. you were sleeping. you were sleeping. -it's... yeah, yeah, that's it. give me the chair. give me the chair. that's it. -just turn around slowly. that's it. bad news. okay? cortical screw, please. -no, give me the 40. 40? what, are you planning on screwing him to the table? if he continues to sleepwalk, we might just have to. i'm sure the sleepwalking was just a reaction to the sedative i gave him post-op. -it's a known side effect of zolpidem. so why'd we give it to him? scalpel. because he's in a hospital, in a controlled environment, where patients are supposed to be monitored. that's right. -blame the nurses. hand me a centrally threaded steinmann, on power. thank you. i used to walk in my sleep when i was a kid. used to do mathematic equations like ian here? -no, but i did pee on my brother's bed once. i sincerely hope he wasn't in it at the time. i have more contact with the patients! i... went to medical... school. that... doesn't make you... a god! -it does... in the o... r. yes, great. thank you. good work, guys. -uh, wow. this is a waste of time. i should be out doing my job, like saving lives, for instance. saving lives? you just save legs, charlie. -you're an orthopod. it's water off a duck's back, shahir. because i do not have anger issues. charlie? no, i'm-i'm taking the set off. -i've got this... tennis elbow thing. thanks, gavin. point of this is getting you out of your comfort zone. i'm very uncomfortable right now. everybody gets angry, charlie. -this is a safe place for us to let it out, see if we can't get to the root cause of what is making us angry. so let's review. um, what are the stages of anger? demanding. -i must have my way. mm-hmm. second? you, it, or they are in the way of me getting what i want. then blame. -you are not giving me what i want. and then? you deserve to be punished, and i'm gonna punish you. o.r. okay. -uh, wait a second. wait. he gets to leave? it's a medical emergency. okay. -gavin, i lost my temper. and i will not deny that there are some things to get sorted out between myself... and joel. however, he's not here right now. okay. then i'll be joel. -you're not joel. yes, i am... mate. i walked around the parking lot three times before coming in here. you walked through the door. yeah, 'cause i'd look like a lunatic. -your dad'll be happy you're here. i don't really call him dad. hey, doc. leslie. hi, randall. -what are you doin' here? how are you? fine. h-how's bobby and... no. -no. um... yeah, yeah, yeah. brian. no, i'm-i'm single. -oh. i didn't remember. but you're okay? single? yeah, it's fine. -look exactly like you did last time i saw you. uh, that was 10 years ago. i was wearing skater pants and a pound of eyeliner. so i've-i've changed. randall, leslie is here today because you need to talk with family about your options. -what options? your imaging showed new metastases. oh. more cancer. alert the media. -you need to talk about pain management, palliative care. and i know that you think you can take care of yourself, but i don't think you can. um, uh, okay, i'm sorry. i'm kinda new to this. what exactly should we be talking about? -i'm not even... stupid... it's okay. pain is worse? all right, it looks like you're losing blood supply to your bowel. -i'm worried that your hernia is strangulated, which means that it's cutting off blood supply to your intestines, and you could go septic. so i need to do a surgery right now. wait, what, i-i-i didn't know he was having surgery. how long is that gonna take? everything goes well, it shouldn't take more than an hour. -be here when i come out? well, i don't know. i don't know. stop it. it's the lizard. -it's not funny. i'm too old for the lizard, randall. you're not too old. i'm... okay, i'll be here. stop. -i will be here. charlie, mate, what is it about me that you find so threatening? that doesn't sound anything like joel. really? i-i think it's quite good. -gavin, can you do me? not really the time. but, um... gavin, i have anger issues. i am really angry and i fix brains. -he's amazing. okay, um, anything i needed to say to joel, i already said... with my fist. violence denotes poor conflict resolution skills, charlie. no, no, actually, um, sports have taught me that the right amount of anger directed at the right person or thing for the right reason at the right time is actually quite constructive. -besides, he brought it on himself. that's blame. he provoked me. listen to yourself. you're making it joel's fault. -he insulted alex. so you punished him. he deserved it. what did he do? what difference does it make? -well, it really pissed you off. yeah, it did. is joel an obstacle to what you want? like what? dr. reid. -i didn't... say that! hey, look at that. i got a page. oh, i gotta go. good luck, charlie. -he gets to leave, too? he doesn't really have to be here. he just likes it. hey, i forgot to ask you. how's charlie? -are you two splitsville? he left. he say why? you're not gonna believe this. actually, you might be the only person that does believe this. -he sees ghosts. he told you? he didn't have to. what'd he say? oh, just that when he woke up from this coma he, uh, had this thing. -and what did you say? i said it would destroy his life. i just need a minute. you okay, doc? yeah, it's nothing just a heart flutter. -yeah? yeah. how about a big black bird of anger is fluttering in your chest and you can't breathe. how 'bout that one? did you open a full laparotomy tray? -yep, and there's an omni-retractor in there just in case you need it. thanks. you're welcome. hey. yes? -give him another chance. he left me. i know. but the first time i saw you, your chakras were clear. and now they're muddy. -it means your spirit's dying. randall... hey! i'm just telling you what i see. can you take him in? -sure. you know i saw your stage show five times? really? mm-hmm. how was i? -hypnotic. good. what's your favorite part? come on. yep? -did your heart stop? no. hold on. why don't i see any tracings? because the freaking monitor keeps getting stuck underneath my bra, and i'm sick of you spying on me. -put down the scalpel if you feel like you're gonna die. midline incision, open approach, hernia repair. easy. he has a strangulated hernia, his bowel is probably necrotic, he has mets from pancreatic cancer, all over the abdomen. there's scar tissue galore. -nothing about this is going to be easy. i wasn't implying that it was actually gonna be easy. i'm just... was just trying to lighten the mood, you seem tense. retractor. there you are, you little bastard. -okay... what is my approach, dr. lin? evaluate the bowel. if it's alive, dissect it from the fascia and reduce the hernia. if it's dead, resect and put him back together. but, i mean, regardless, it's stage four pancreatic cancer, metastatic. -he's got a couple weeks. he'll die in two days if we don't free the bowel. and he's in pain. but you're right. there's not a lot of hope. -well, i thought i was the gloomy one. but you've gone all russian on me. can't always be the cheerleader. okay, i've released the bowel. run it for me, maggie. -with pleasure. that's weird. i feel something. describe it. it's a mass... it's something. -well, he has pancreatic cancer, maggie, there are metastases everywhere. this mass is big. it's, uh, it's not metastatic. okay, let me feel it. this thing is the size of a tangerine. -should we scope him? yes, definitely. hey, i'm coming to the end of the colon... wait a sec, freeze it right there. that's a big tumor. -it's the primary. does he not have pancreatic cancer? no. no, it must've originated in the colon and spread to the pancreas. but-but that means... that he could make it. -so last man standing in conflict resolution, huh? what do you think that means? god, you are relentless. a year ago, would you have imagined yourself here? well, a year ago, i was in a coma, so... no. -before that. no. nope, i used to be with the woman i love. and i used to be just a regular doctor who didn't see... dead people. i thought you said that stopped. -it did. do you miss them? do you miss her? of course i miss her. i'm afraid i've lost her for good. -and that makes you mad. no, that makes me... sad. now the causes of sleepwalking aren't well-established. please tell me this isn't a mysterious brain thing. it is. -it's very mysterious. see, in your patient, the part of the brain that paralyzes the body during sleep? that isn't working. so he's literally just acting out his dreams? yes. -what do i do about it? there's nothing you can do, short of tying him down. that's unethical. unethical. you're right. -now, once ian has fully recovered from surgery, i can look for lesions, tumors, vascular malformations of the hypothalamus. then we can let him see a psychiatrist. for a neurological problem? well, stress and trauma are other factors, you know, unless i "elm street" -my way into his dreams... there's nothing i can do. okay. well, thank you. joel? -mm-hmm? i, um... i just got back from conflict resolution, and there's hurt on both sides. les? hi. -how'd it go? it went very well. he should be up and around soon. okay. you know, i'm waiting on some test results, and i can't really get into the details, but... your father may have more time than we thought. -um... okay. this is gonna sound really wrong, but, um... i came here to see my father before he... died. and i just... -i thought i would regret it if i didn't. could be an opportunity. for what? he abandoned me and my mom, he's crazy... it... -letting him back in my life would just be more trouble than it's worth. it might be worth it. you don't know him. be the bigger man? usually falls to the ladies. -excuse me. charlie. hi. how was conflict resolution? uh, think oprah meets mcenroe, and i think you get the idea. -well, that sounds fun. it was horrible. i was... i was horrible. did you resolve your conflict? -where's your heart monitor? i don't wanna be monitored. alex... and not by dawn. so, charlie, can you just... -can you leave it? you're a doctor. come on, this is your life we're talking about. where is it? in my pocket. -let me help. fine. you wanna lie down? no, i'm waiting on some test results for a patient. you remember the great randall? -yeah. he still alive? he is. thank you. are these nonsense? -i mean, are they real equations? yeah, they're real equations. i don't know, ian. i mean... wow. -maybe if you solved the equations, that'll stop the sleepwalking and... truthfully, i'm just... really very concerned about your leg. what-what is this? this... this calculates the odds of having a baby over the age of 40. these are the odds that he has red hair. -these are the odds of him reading before he's 6. these are the odds of him making the t-ball rep team. these are the odds that he'll believe in santa till he's 8. these are the odds of him being... hit by a truck on his way to school. the odds of your marriage surviving the death of your child... -of you losing your job. i'm so sorry. i'm so tired. so this is definitive? that's what pathology says. -it's mind-blowing. just don't call it a miracle. randall. we got back your pathology report. you were misdiagnosed. -you have colon cancer. it's good news. what? how is colon cancer good news? it's a different cancer, one with a better prognosis. -it's one we can treat. but... they-they just commuted my death sentence, i think. we're not out of the woods yet, but this is very good news. so congratulations. i don't know what-what i'm supposed to do. -you don't have to do anything. just stay, i'll do it all. you shouldn't have to work to be my daughter. yeah, i will have to, 'cause you're not gonna be able to take care of yourself. what? -for the love of god, look at the hair. is this the hair of a man who can't take care of himself? i have your hair. yes, you do. and your eyebrows. -yeah. sorry about that. it's okay. i forgot the good parts about you. but this news, i'm really happy for you. -i feel so fantastic. i feel fantastic. i wanna do something celebratory, i... that's 'cause your sedation hasn't worn off yet. no. -hey! yeah? do you know the watusi? joel, i'm sorry for what i said about you never getting back together with your girlfriend. you kind of have bigger fish to fry, man. -no, no, the numbers aren't favorable but... i didn't factor in the implied odds. it's a poker thing, isn't it? yeah, you have to consider the outcome if things go your way. um... -how exactly does that relate to-to alex? it's an if/then proposition. if you'd be substantially happier, you should go for it, even if the odds aren't there. i should've factored that into the original equation, and i didn't. so, okay, what-what are my odds now? -they're considerably improved. thank you. well, um, why don't you... close your eyes, get some rest? i'm not going anywhere. i'm right here. -oh, hey, doc. do you know how to work this tv thing? yeah, i do. you wanted to talk to me, randall? or, uh, change your mind because you wanted to watch golf? -yeah. i'm, uh, lifting your curse. i don't see them anymore. it doesn't matter if you don't talk to dead people anymore, you still feel cursed inside, don't you? -hmm? and don't talk, just listen. things can still turn out okay for you. pfft. you're free. -hi. hi. hi. excuse me? sir? -you know, you can't be in here. sir. you can't be in here. let's get you back to your... h-help. -help... help me. alex? yeah. help. -alex, where are you? where are you? tell me where you are. talk to me. help. -help. alex? alex? maggie, have you seen alex? yeah, a while ago on the ward, why? -her heart rate is through the roof. and it's different than the arrhythmia that i've been monitoring her for. different how? she's tachying in the 170s, like she's in shock. well, could her monitor have fallen off, maybe? -no, it's definitely working. and her tracings are clear. it's scary. we gotta find her now. code blue, five east, 64. -code blue, five east, 64. code blue, five east, 64. alex? oh, my god. alex! -oh, god. stay with us. open your... keep your eyes open. don't try to talk, don't try to talk. -we gotta get her to the o.r. oh, my god. oh, dear. you're gonna... you! -i need a large bore i.v.s, o-neg blood, and i need a stretcher now. i need it now! stay with me. look at me. you've lost a lot of blood. -we're gonna get you to the o.r. you're gonna be just fine. look at me. stay with me. keep her eyes open. -stay, stay. get me that stretcher! eyes open! alex. you're gonna be fine. -out of the way. get out of the way, please. keep your eyes open, look at me. make a hole! hey, let's go, let's go! -stay with me. i got it, i got it, i got it. maggie, you're with me. we're going to do a left thoracotomy and find the bleed. it's in her heart! -i'm here, baby. i'm here. we're not gonna know until we get in there. on three! one, two, three. -can you handle this?

calm down, warden. i'm lester clark. -i'm the ceo of bc security. you might have heard of us. no? all right, well... we're an independent security company hired by the federal bureau of prisons to test the integrity of their maximum security facilities nationwide. -this is ray breslin. he's my partner and resident houdini. warden. for the last seven years, ray has been inserted into every maximum incarceration facility in the system. he is there to ensure that each and every one of them is 100% escape-proof. -and apparently yours wasn't, and he got out. ta-da. okay, fine. i suppose you're gonna tell me how you did it? think he wants to know? -doesn't seem like it. ray, you're on. warden, let's start from the top. any break requires three things, knowing the layout, understanding the routine, and help from outside or in. if you know the layout, the weak side is obvious. -in bendwater's case, it's the secure housing unit. the government expenditure was 17 million dollars building that facility. it's state-of-the-art. the only problem is, it's located next to an unsecured fire garage. first i needed to get inside, so i made some enemies. -once inside, it was obvious you were short-staffed. federal guidelines recommend two guards are present when transferring high risk inmates. you only use one. knowing the guards' routine was the next step. thirty seconds into my rec time, my co took a smoke break. -for seven minutes every day, there were no eyes on me. two... after i knew the routine, all i had to do was pick the day and arrange for a distraction at the front gate for exactly 4:00 p.m. but at this point, you were still locked inside a steel box. to get out, you had to have a key code. -you have very good chocolate milk. see, the cartons contain a thin layer of wax laminate. lay it over the keypad, the impression will indicate which four keys were pressed. with the four keys, it's just a numbers game to identify the correct sequence. i just needed to get to the keypad. -after i covered my tracks, i had one minute to make it to the fire response shed before the team did. i knew the guards were still on the roof doing what they do, which is wasting time. what the fuck are you saying? and before you know it, i'm right where i want to be. just in time to catch my ride. -then your men drove me right off the grounds. you have any questions? yeah. one. what kind of man would choose to spend most of his life in prison? -don't take it personally, warden. over the years, ray has broken out of 14 of these institutions. some people have a talent to paint, some to sing. me, i sing. ray breslin, he possesses a unique set of skills. -he is able to break out of any prison designed by man. so have you been good? yeah. you? you a good boy inside? -of course. okay... how did that thing with that guy go? what guy? what guy? -when i was going in, you were about to have dinner with some guy, some bozo. oh, yeah. that bozo ended before dessert. well, that's his loss. yeah. -they're all losers. how many times have i told you that? you want to get something to eat when we get back? is there a problem? you're a horrible cook. -that's nice. well, you can complain in the morning. ouch. morning, sir. how can i help you? -oh, mr. breslin, i'm so sorry. i'm jules. that's okay. you're new here? no, sir. -i've been here five months. five months? yes, sir. what do you got for me? check it out. -that's good. very smart. did you do this all by yourself? i'm impressed. genius. -you're smart, but... sorry, not smart enough. don't be bitter. mr. breslin, they're ready for you in the conference room. morning, les. -abby. jessica mayer. it's an honor to meet you. your work is the gold standard in the field. what you've accomplished is remarkable. -thank you. and you're here because... she's agency, ray. as in... central intelligence agency. -you a spy? worse. i'm a lawyer. ray, hear her out. she's legit. -i called langley myself. fine. i'll just listen. go ahead. mr. breslin, after ending "extraordinary rendition," -the agency is looking for alternate situations for incarcerating the sort of people who commit acts so despicable they're best... well, how can i put it? eliminated? disappeared. and we're currently testing a prototype to deal with people no government wants on their books. -but first and foremost, the people financing this need to know these facilities are escape-proof before the whole system goes online globally. what she's really saying is that none of this is officially sanctioned by anyone. close. what i'm saying, miss ross, is that these facilities are privately funded and administered. so the word "official" does not really apply. -so if anything goes wrong, nothing comes back to bite you people in the ass. whoa! this is not your concern. hey! i owe him. -i don't owe you. my job is to make sure the united states is safe and clean. all right, can we just cut the crap and call it like it is? these institutions are off the grid. there are no trials, there's no convictions. -these people are just disappeared. and you want him to go in and test it? maybe it's time for me to interject into the conversation that they have offered double your standard fee, that's five mil, right? in advance. so you like this? -look, i'm a numbers guy. you're the artist, ray. from a financial standpoint, i like it. yes, i like it very much. beyond the money, mr. breslin, the people that are sent to this place should not be allowed out into the real world. -every one of them is a potential game changer. for the worse. all right. guidelines? the usual. -full work. alias. cover story. contact. evac number. -right? well, the only difference is to fully test the security of the system it's essential that none of you know the location of the incarceration. will that present a problem? yes. yes, it would. -when do we start? we just did. you and your new identity will be picked up from this location by private contractors 24 hours from now. i don't like this. and you don't like her. -um, don't flatter yourself. we're going against every protocol and guideline that you yourself have insisted on every single time that you've gone in. and i don't like her. you're right. there's nothing to like about any of it. -then why do it? because he's ambitious and greedy. you say that like it's a bad thing. profile. name, anthony portos. -born madrid. mother died when you were 13. raised by your father in the u.s. you were suspected of manufacturing bombs that have been used in a dozen political bombings across europe and south america for the last 10 years. contact on site? -warden's name is roger marsh. evacuation code? 3-1-0-2-7-5. all right. let's do it. -tag him. no. i don't need this. really. yeah, you do. -it's non-negotiable. you think i'm letting you go in cold?

there is no warden marsh. what, am i disoriented? -is that it? i guess that must be it. and i didn't see a man killed on a transport helicopter and thrown out either, right? mr. portos, your intake is finished. wait! -my evacuation code is 3-1-0-2-7-5. evacuation code? yes. evacuation code. meaning you give me a number and you walk out of here free as a bird? -no. i don't think so. you're here now. and you belong to me. your intake is finished. -wait... i have an evacuation code! anything? getting a ghost bounce, same as yesterday. i can't find him. -you ran a full diagnostic on the system? twice. run it again. all prisoners a-block proceed to babylon. all prisoners a-block to proceed to babylon. -portos. everybody's days are numbered in babylon! babylon, death, death! hey! go make some friends. -you're gonna need them. assalam-alaikum. hey! stay down! stay down! -new fish. we own you! back off! last time. back away. -portos. hmm. rottmayer. emil rottmayer. really not much in a hand-shaking mood right now. -okay. your name. the fourth musketeer. it's a good name. why are you in here? -why do you care? i used to work security for a guy by the name of manheim. victor manheim. have you heard of the name? manheim, let me see... -no. he's a genius. really? he has this habit of taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor. you've heard that story before... -i've heard that story. yeah. now they're trying to find him. but i'm not gonna help them. okay. -so fuck 'em! right. fuck 'em. portos, don't get killed. if you say so. -last time they killed a guy in here, they let his body rot for three days. oh, and they canceled the prison dance. wouldn't want to fuck up the prom. morning, sir. that's another beautiful piece, sir. -you lied to me. i lied to you? i'm not sure what... no, no. you say nothing. -what am i supposed to tell the client about the man you killed? that he just jumped, like you said? this isn't a free-for-all. we're paid to prevent him from jumping. and i can't get proof of life from a dead man. -so... you will be docked the entire price of the asset. the entire price of the asset equals a month of my pay. then you're lucky the man you killed was not high value. that is all, drake. -allahu akbar. allahu akbar. hey, portos! look at this. there's no sunrise, no sunset, but still they pray all the time. -don't you find that interesting? not really. you look like the kind of a guy that finds things interesting. you've done time before? allahu akbar. -why all the questions? that's how i learn things. you really ought to study somebody else. portos! what? -need a favor? the favor man. for a man who is not interested, you're doing a lot of looking. what do you need? i need to get into the isolation area. -no, you really don't. yeah, i really do. call it a favor. okay? okay. -good. ah! that's a favor? sometimes favors hurt. really? -come on. okay. let's see what you can do. all right. you hit like a vegetarian. -do i? you can do better than that. come on. all right. let's see it. -try this. hurt? that was good. look what's coming! relax. -it's pretend. guess boys will be boys. that's enough. ah! ah! -put them in the box! now! you can thank me later. they knew he was tagged. of course they knew. -who do you think these guys are? what do you think, they're a bunch of yahoos from one of those bop facilities? this is the shadow world. these guys, they invented this shit. why do you think they pay us all that money? -remember what the guidelines were. what the fuck are you talking about? there are no guidelines. now, you call that cia bitch. hush... -motherfucker. all right. i'll make the call. abigail, you got to keep him away from me, all right? give me your arm. -you'll live. how does a doctor work in a place like this? would you prefer there wasn't a doctor here? where is "here"? hey, doc, let's wrap it up. -doc... what did he ask you? he... wanted to know how his dehydration compared to the other detainees. and what did you tell him? -i don't care. that's what i told him. get him out of there. did you find what you were looking for in the box? all prisoners back to their cells. -all prisoners back to their cells. who were you before you came in here, portos? you're always watching the room, always watching everything. are you asking what i used to do? yeah. -i'll tell you, but i need a little favor. fuck that. all right, don't do it. all right, i'm listening. what's the favor this time? -i need a piece of metal, about three inches wide. round, smooth. oh, no problem. i'll hit the home depot, and i'll be right back. okay? -if you get me that piece of metal, i might be able to get you out of here. tell hobbes i want to talk. interrogation, ready for inmate. interrogation, ready for inmate. -you've been here six months now, mr. rottmayer. so you know how this works. ten seconds. where is victor manheim? you know, to many people, he is a hero. -nine seconds. do you have a pencil and a piece of paper? eight seconds. i could draw you a map. of what? -where you could find him. when i was a kid, i always wanted to be an artist. my god, you are pushing it. problem was, i had no talent. six seconds. -i tried and i tried and i tried... five... do you ever have dreams? four... or did you always want to be this? -two... one... done. look. there. -i told you. no talent. the records indicate that you are a highly intelligent man. as such, i would have expected you to see the situation and understand it for what it is. in here, you have no control over any part of your life, except your breathing. -and you just lost that privilege. get him down! keep going. enough. what happened? -nothing. i'm still here. now it's your turn. i break out of prisons for a living. for the past eight years, -i've been breaking out of facilities for the federal bureau of prisons. i think hobbes used my reports to make this place unbreakable. someone wanted this place tested, but it was a set-up. they wanted to bury me. i don't know who, but i'm gonna find out. -i need you to set up another diversion. what now? you've got to go back in the box. no fucking way. want to get outta here? -okay. i'll do it. but if i don't get out, i kill you. fair enough. a successful breakout depends on three things, layout, routine, and help. -but they've taken those away. for now. there's something under the box. i think it's a conduit. if it is, how do you know where it goes? -i don't. but i'm gonna find out. this is good. it's disgusting. the mind of a man confined works differently than someone on the outside. -he sees things different. the architecture is vertical. the cell blocks, babylon, the box, the mess... everything's in large vertical compartments. best guess is they built out underground in large natural fissures and caves. -in a vertical structure, 70/30 says whatever's under that box goes up. if i can get in there, follow where it goes, let's say you're right. how do we cut metal? we don't cut. -we don't cut at all. this place is subterranean. there's moisture in the air. whoever built this place should have used aluminum rivets to hold those panels down, but they used steel. steel rusts over time. -we apply that. we'll concentrate the heat to those rivets and they'll expand and snap right the fuck off. concentrated heat? yeah, from the piece of metal you gave me. you expose a toothpaste-polished piece of metal to sunlight... -or the lamps in the box. right. at a hundred degrees centigrade, steel expands .03 cubic centimeters and those rivets are gonna come right off. what? -you don't look that smart. you don't either. so most prisons are built around small towns. no matter how remote, they need supplies and a work force. if i can get to the surface, -i'll know what it's going to take to get over the wall, get out of here. but first i'm gonna need that diversion in the box. how much time do you need? three to five minutes. no problem. -step back. i know you. you don't know shit, you cunt-eater. now step back. oh, now i remember. -what? your mother, she was my favorite whore in marrakesh. man, she could polish a helmet! ah! no! -hey! ah! you're killing me! you're killing me! bringing up box four, sir. -now, what is he up to? hey! shut the fuck up, you german dog! master control, please advise. just hold him till i get there. -i've got a camera malfunction, box two. roger that. just reboot the system. shit! shut the fuck up! -hey, rottmayer, shut up! restrain and drug him, sir? not yet. lights off, box four. now open it. -rough day, mr. rottmayer? let's get 'em. here's what you should know. i don't care. sooner or later you will tell me what i want to know. -it is inevitable. like dying. but know this, there will come a point where i don't give a shit about you or whatever the fuck you think you're doing right now. so have a lovely day, mr. rottmayer. man on paemergency personnel to level two. -emergency personnel to level two. report? valve breach on level two, sir. electrical malfunction. sir? -get the assets out of there. open up! open the fucking door! open the door! did you make it? -yeah. where are we? where are we? i don't know! fuck. -they froze the check. what are we talking about here? the payment for ray's services. they froze the check. it's not frozen, it's on hold. -all right? it's very common in a $2.5 million transaction. no. common would be a week, maybe 10 days. this has been way longer than that. -jesus, abby. it's the federal government. you know how they work. did you call that woman? yeah, i called. -everything is fine. then where is he? he is on the job that he was hired to do. so you're saying it's all good? it's all good. -where was the breach? the auxiliary ballast tank system on the starboard side. compartments five and seven have been compromised. and that leads to the ventilation shaft under box two. portos. -yeah, they're full of rust. water pressure must have snapped them clean off. maybe. portos isn't his name, is it? why wasn't i alerted? -look, it's like this. there's a lot of people paying money to make sure that facility is unbreakable. it's ray breslin. the great ray breslin. he's there to prove that not even he can get out. -you make sure he stays there forever. do you have a problem with that? no. not at all. just the opposite. -fucker. all right, good. there's one more thing. the chinese banks have joined the brazilians, the russians, the english, the u.s. and the swiss banks. they're all paying to find out the whereabouts of this manheim fellow. -word on the street is that he has developed a program to turn the entire world banking system into fucking confetti. rottmayer worked with that asshole. he knows where he is. your job is to get that information out of him. well, it just so happens that since breslin has gotten closer to rottmayer, -rottmayer has developed a new edge to his defiance that wasn't there before. i think breslin is to blame. then break breslin. thank you. i have an assignment i know you'll enjoy. -get on your feet! wakey, wakey... talk to me. come on. you must fight. -get up! stay on your feet! if we're on a ship, we would know. no. not if it was 1,000 feet long, 200 feet high, with stabilizers. -we wouldn't know a damn thing. wakey, wakey! get him on his feet. you can do it. keep going. -come on, go. move it! we can't get out of here. yes, we can. no! -get on your feet! you've got to stay strong. back up! back up! it's you i want. -move it! ah! piece of shit... stop it now, drake. don't give up. -don't let them break you. what made you want to spend your life in prison? hmm? tell me. what made you do it? -tell me! i was a lawyer. prosecutor. a man i put away made a promise to me. this man thought about that promise every day for three years, planning his way out of prison, planning on how he was gonna keep his word. -taking a man's life is nothing. taking his heart... that's everything, isn't it? everything. you see, putting people in prison wasn't good enough. -and i had to... i wanted to make sure they stayed in there, didn't get out. i understand. i have a daughter. never forget them. -you have a choice. you can die in here, or you can get out with me and punish who put you here. you hear me? yeah. yeah. -good news and bad news. i was thinking about that first meeting, privatized incarceration. off the grid, international profile. and i started digging. code name, the tomb. -completely for profit, totally illegal. run by ex-military assholes and blackwater rejects. you know, bad dudes. if ray is anywhere, it's here. where is "here"? -that's the bad news. i don't know. no access to any layout. no blind times. we're in the middle of the fucking ocean. -but i'll be damned if i didn't find a routine. they scramble the guard shifts so they're never the same. but they can't change the routine of the guards themselves. we don't know when they start. we don't know when they end. -but i do know where they're gonna be based on habit. see that guy coming down the stairs? see how he walks all pigeon-toed? the duck. yeah. -the duck always works with the guy scratching the back of his neck. hives. yeah, hives. when duck and hives work together, they always do a circle. they may do it at random times of day. -it doesn't matter when they do it, it always ends up being 128 strides, then they split up. watch. now they each take a side. duck walks 63 strides, hives 65. then they meet up at the top. -the guard down there at the bottom, the heavy-set guy, he doesn't move much. my guess is he's been here a while and only does what he has to do. louisa. louisa? his fat ass reminds me of my first girlfriend. -nice. that guard over there could be a problem for us. he's always looking around. the chicken man. chicken man, right. -my guess, chickie's new here. does everything by the book. how do you know when the shift ends? i don't. but around this time, your girlfriend louisa starts looking at her watch. -my guess, it's lunchtime. welcome back. thanks. now that we've got the routine, we just gotta ask the good doctor where the hell we are. i'm not permitted to give you anything for the pain, so don't request it. -you're a doctor. you took an oath. "according to my ability and judgment, "i'll protect my patients from harm and injustice." what you're doing here is wrong. -what exactly is it you want from me? i want to know where the hell i am. guards! it's okay. it's under control. -put him back here. sorry. so... no. got to push him harder. -push him, we'll lose him. no other options? plan b. you always gotta have a plan b. did you get it? -now i need his glasses. sir? you want to take a look at this? what's this? it's a sextant. -of course it is. it works. you spot the north star with the horizon. but it will only give us half of our location. bring breslin. -i'll explain how it works later, but first we've got to get it topside. watch out. ah! welcome to your new home, mr. breslin. section e. -waiting for inmates. you know who i am? i do now. i've studied your work very closely. it's quite brilliant. -as a matter of fact, it's what i used as a reference guide in designing this facility. if you know who i am, let me go. no, no, no, no, mr. breslin. that's not how this works. not this time. -you see, the people who paid for you to be here want you here forever. and knowing that, and knowing who you are, well, who you were... i can't have you communicating with rottmayer, or anybody else, for that matter. this is the reality. and there's no way out. -this can go two ways. you let me go and i'll pretend this never happened. you don't, and i'll burn this fucking place to the ground on my way out. effective right now, no mess, no rec time, and no showers. i can get you victor manheim. -rottmayer trusts me. so you say. not good enough. what have you got to lose? finding him has got to be worth a lot more than what you were paid for me, right, hobbes? -it's a nice idea, but as it stands right now, i'm in line to get both. you'll never break rottmayer. he'll die before he turns. i'm your only chance to get what you want. i want manheim and his whole network. -names. locations in real time. get that. if it checks out, i'll let you go. but know this. -you tell me every word that you and rottmayer share, or i will personally pull the fucking life out of you. fair enough. so what happened? i'm playing you. last night rottmayer told me he started his network with five guys from his hometown. -he said he could trust his life to these guys. give javed the sextant. show him how to use it. tell him it's his ticket outta here. javed. -he'd rather see us dead. he'll be the last one they suspect. he bragged how his network caused the bank collapse in iceland six years ago. i don't give a shit about six years ago. i want to know where he is now. -you want to die? you want to get out? today. they're plotting an escape. an escape? -really? who and when? i don't know all the details. just some. well, tell me the details you know. -hmm. you give me things first. mr. alfredo, afridi, or whatever the fuck your name is... your opium drug cartel friends have paid a lot of money for you to be here. of course they did, those fucks. -so aside from your freedom, what else can i give you? i want the guards to leave my people alone. the holy koran... i want one in my cell. and i want to say the name of allah and the prophet mohammed in the open air. -i want to be seen by my god when i say my evening prayers. that's all? that's all. i want to be seen by my god, mr. hobbes! 30 degrees, 22 minutes. -we're in horse latitudes, calm water. north or south? water goes counter-clockwise above the equator, so we're north. how do we get the longitude? they brought a new fish in yesterday. -he said it was november 20th. we've got warm rain, warm air at sea in november. now, you're building a secret facility. you're putting it on the water. you're at 30 degrees north latitude because you want to avoid rough water. -so you're going to want to stay away from the caribbean and the pacific, say, east of the china sea. if i was a betting man, i'd say we could be off the coast of morocco. it's just a guess. international waters. calm sea. -close enough to land for supplies. educated guess. i know a guy in casablanca. he owes me big-time. enough to come and get you? -he'd still owe me. there's only one way to get a message out. one way. my god... what is this? -you swallowed clotting powder? listen to me. i know you think i'm playing you. in hobbes' office is a book. compromising correctional institution security by ray breslin. -on page 88 is a detailed description of cell block c at lewisburg federal prison. guards! check it out. and remember your oath. i can't stall hobbes anymore. -i've got to give him a location. but we still don't have a plan. it's in the doctor's hands. medical personnel, interrogation three. medical personnel, interrogation three. -guards! bring me prisoner portos from e block. hobbes' orders. do it now. breathe in. -again. i saw the book. how did you know? i'm ray breslin. i wrote the book. -doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little to cure diseases of which they know less for men of whom they know nothing at all. what do you want me to do? the doctor is in. now javed has to do his part. manheim's main base of operations is 20 miles outside of ruse. -that's on the bulgarian-romanian border. see? ratting out your friends ain't so hard. we've got 24 hours before hobbes realizes the bulgarian location is bullshit. who do you know in c block? -they've given permission for your midnight prayer, so what do you have for me? lock in on breslin. yes, sir. what are we up to? louder. -louder. louder! got you. decode it. stop. -zoom in. it's makmar hassan. breslin is gonna have hassan start the break from cell block c. we have a time frame. and we have a location. -cell block c. triple the guard force there. i want to know everyone who's involved. you will, sir. cell block c, prepare for inspection. -cell block c, prepare for inspection. louisa and chicken man. they sent everyone else to cell block c. you better be fuckin' right. don't worry. -hey! you fucking white trash scumbag bitch! where are you going, you fucking towel-head al-qaeda faggot? hey, your fuckin' sister gives... fuck you, you diaper-head... -you fuckin' skinhead! you motherfuckin'... the break was never happening in block c. all men from c to babylon. right now. -come on! argh! come on! where the fuck is breslin? go, go, go! -let's move! we've got 11 minutes to get topside. let's hope the doc made contact. go. go. -what are you doing? all the cameras are connected. we've gotta block 'em out. sir! say "cheese." -come on. okay. all right, this is it. let's go. engage security protocol five. -lockdown procedure engaged. lockdown procedure engaged. it's a full lockdown. we're all locked inside. eight minutes. -they're out of moves. drake, take two units. drag the rats back to their cages. hold up. javed! -open gate three! take 'em! go, go, go, go! don't fucking lose them! breslin! -breslin! open before i break you, you motherfucker! you'll never get out of here alive, you arsehole! we're gonna kill you! we've gotta move! -smash that door down. i'll come around from the other side. breslin, how the hell do they know where we are? you turned off the cameras, right? motion detector. -sir! out. you can play your games all day, mr. breslin, but i'm still in control. whatever you do, i have the power. i own your ass. -you guys have gotta get up that ladder. i've got to find the engine room and shut the power grid down. those magnetic locks will stay open for about five seconds before the back-up generator kicks in. you understand? that's all the time you're gonna have. -take this. take it. you're a good man. go do it. what about you? -i'll be right behind you. what if you're not on the deck at 5:00? do what you've got to do. there's always plan b. come on. -let's do it. we're dead men. there's no way out. come with me. i won't make it up that ladder. -i'll carry you up the ladder. but i can hold them back. no. i can carry you up the ladder. i'm not gonna leave you behind. -give me your gun. just give me your gun. allah be with you. i'll see you up there. now go. -take care. fuck! report? fuck you, you motherfucker! we're taking gunfire on the lower deck! -if he made it to the lower deck, he's going to the engine room. meet me in the engine room. i'm coming down. copy. get that fucker out of there! -yes, sir. clear! yeah. whatever. having trouble breathing? -i'm gonna fucking kill ya, motherfucker! back off! did you see him? yeah, he's here. we're on our way... -i'll take care of it. no, wait, wait! he's still on port, sir. what the fuck? go! -get down! we have a situation up here! fuck! go low! go, go! -go low! plan b. no one gets off this ship. shoot to kill. ah! -go, go! ah! we have to go now! not yet! give yourself up, mr. breslin. -you can run around, make some noise... spill some blood. you can't get out. not really... i know about your wife, your son. -aw. i know every detail. so thank you for pointing out all the small flaws in my creation. i'll be sure to fortify them. but your time's up. -you hear me? breslin? your time is up. no one in. no one out. -search every inch of this fucking room. and power this thing back up! come on! let's go, let's go! let's roll! -go! argh! breslin! go down! come on, let's go! -down, down! we're gonna have to back off! rottmayer! gun! gun! -give me your gun! boom. hmm. have a lovely day, asshole! now what? -relax. you met her before. jessica mayer. it's an honor to meet you. your work is the gold standard in the field. -she has been my eyes and ears inside the agency. hello, dad. and she's also my daughter. hello, darling. thank god you made it. -i missed you. what happened? oh, nothing. don't worry about it. you're manheim. -didn't see that coming. you should've. yeah. how'd you do it? we have code names. -code name rottmayer meant maximum security incarceration. when my dad was picked up, it activated the code. and that's when you called les clark. i needed the best. and after you agreed to do it, -i used my contacts deep inside the dhs to get you in. and the name you gave me was the i.d. code. portos. rottmayer. emil rottmayer. -and i became your best friend. you are not user-friendly. i had to work very hard. and that damn box. that was hot. -it did get warm, yeah. but it doesn't matter. what matters is that i'm out and so are you. we both served enough time. you want to try it again? -you son-of-a-bitch... i hope i never see you again. that hurts. one more thing! how much did les really know? -only what i told him, at first. but the next thing i know, he's gone around me and offered his services to the backers of the tomb. so he knew where i was being sent? he arranged your transport. need a ride? -no, thanks. i made my own arrangements. wasn't tracking. we knew something wasn't right. red flags going up all over the place. -clark was too calm about it, so we started digging. we found out he'd been offered the ceo job of running the whole tomb program if the prototype you were buried in proved inescapable. at a salary of $5 million a year, plus stock options. tell me you tracked him down. just like you asked. -the plan's in motion as we speak. it's sleepy-time, motherfucker. oh, fuck! no, no... come on, come on, come on... -fuck! ray! fuck! ray! it's hush. -what did he say? it's all good. good. what's that? job offers. -maybe later. why don't you and me have a very special dinner. i'll cook. haven't i suffered enough?

(cries out) this evening the pacific flight 7500 from los angeles to tokyo alerted traffic controllers. they were encountering rough turbulence unexpectedly -and soon after that, all communication with the plane ceased. we alluded to the turbulence must have loosened a critical seal and that seal gave way short time later creating a rapid decompression of air the plane. at this point in time, we believe the oxygen masks malfunctioned and in a de-pressurized environment, the lack of oxygen would be fatal. gosh! breathe, come on, breathe. -on the tv: all communication attempts from that point on have not been successful. laura: did you happen to see a jet, an f-16? on the tv: -the f-16 decided to take a closer look at the plane but no sign of life could be seen. reporter: excuse me, excuse me, sir. is there any chance of survival for those on board? spokesperson: -at this point in time, we believe the chances of survival are slim. our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those on board. the plane has been flying on autopilot for the last 5 hours. it's expected to run out of fuel and crash into the pacific. we'll continue to give information as it's made available to us. -pia: don't let me go. brad: i won't.

i'm pretty busy waiting on tables right now. okay, what's going on? -max has never waited on a table in her life. max, i need you over here. i'm just putting down this grilled cheese 'cause i don't want it to get cold. now i'm freaking out! max, don't do this to me. -i know where the bodies are buried, literally. i move them every six months. well, what is it?

i'm out. and you're all invited. -blue's two years old today. they don't usually live that long. no, they do not. that's it, we can't tell him. even at han's age, which i am guessing is somewhere between 14 and 53, some kids just aren't ready to grow up. -what are we gonna do? we're gonna run out and buy a new one. where are we gonna get the money? oleg, you know how two years ago you offered me $1,000 for a back rub? of course. -caroline will do it for $500. deal. one last hurrah. over the clothes, above the waist, and i don't know why, but you have to wear a condom. yes, father dominic rosello, please. -oh, he's celebrating mass?

no, jackie. you lied about me so you could make friends. -well, you threw this party so that you could make friends. i threw a party for a boy who read a hundred books. you told people that i gyrated naked on men's laps for money. oh, i guess we're both to blame. no. -nope. pretty much just you. and you know what?

why don't you sit with us at soccer practice on wednesday? ooh, yes! -we drink wine. oh, i drink wine... like crazy. i wish for more chocolate. wow. -warren. hey, funny story ... i just talked to graham, and his necklace, yeah, it isn't a blood diamond. it's a locket with his parents in it! but you can still sense that he's dangerous, right? -i can't believe that you tried to keep me away from him. you like everyone. what i mean is i don't meet a lot of people that like me. graham and i have so much in common. you know, he's a surfer and a dancer, and i think it's so sick that he surfs and dances! -but why can't i go out with him and you be friends with him, too? um, because eventually you guys are gonna break up, and i'd have to choose sides. oh. and you would choose me. -graham. me. graham. no, not you. i've said graham twice now. -stop. oh! that is good. that is good. so, wait ... -fern tells us you have really soft hand towels. what's the secret? i use 50 dryer balls. ohh, that must get so loud. oh, deafening. -everyone has to leave the house. i can't believe jackie's lies kept us apart this long. ohh. hate it. i know, right? -what's it like having her around all the time? woman: mm. fern: mm, mm. -i mean, is she constantly stopping by trying to push those citrus-blast fiber muffins on you? mm. oof. she gave me one of those once. it broke my dog's jaw. -it did. it did. fern: i believe it. i believe it. -those things are like hard as a rock. you know, they're not that bad. where does she shop? i mean, that woman dresses like a fortune teller. mm. -that's hilarious. i don't ... i don't know where she shops. i think ... i think she makes her clothes mostly. -oh. but, uh, anyway, i'm on snack duty for the next game, so any requests? i mean, i know she means well, but she just seems so desperate. that's true. -so desperate! incredibly desperate. she just wants to have friends. that's true. "like me, like me, like me." -oh, my god. "i'm gonna wear bold colors." - "i'm wearing silk." "i'm wacky jackie." - "do you want me to spin you a pot?" okay, okay, you know what? she's not desperate, all right? -well, maybe just a little bit desperate, but i'm the only one who's allowed to say that, because she's my family. and i get why she lied about me. i wanted to get in with you guys, too. although, now i have no idea why, because y'all are just the bad nasty. so, i think it's time for you to leave. -yeah. what? i'm flabbergasted. what did we do to her? actually, your kids are having a really great time, and bert has something special coming up. -so if you don't mind, just wait outside in front of the house, all right? until about 6:00 or 7:00. no, no, no, no. you know what? stay. -but don't enjoy the party! yeah, don't enjoy it. ohh. oh, my god. ohh, i think i just broke my neck this time. -i'm okay. i'm okay. and now for the bert day dancers! man: go, bert! -# pull me, grab me # how did it go with the moms?

where? -and the worst part is i was one click away from getting tickets to bon jovi this weekend at madison square garden. all i heard was "i'm free to babysit this weekend." you know what... i'm done. i am tired of being taken for granted. -the next time you need a sitter, an alibi, or a kidney, you can call somebody else. until i feel like i am being appreciated, you will not be seeing me again. right after i use your shower, your sink, and your toothbrush. ben has gotta fix this mom strike. it's been three days. -look at this. no match. no match. no match. my sock situation's a complete disaster, man. -okay. i think emma's finally ready. is that my towel? well, it was either that or the shower curtain. and that affects all of us. -ben, you have to do something about your mom. i know, i tried. i apologized. i even promised her it would never happen again. but mom can always tell when i'm lying. -oh, my god. you guys aren't going to believe it. i'm going to prom. just so you know, dating a high-school guy at your age is creepy. also a little bit desperate. -but mostly creepy. no. i'm on the alumni committee, and they asked me to chaperone. and it is going to be awesome. i always wanted to go to prom. -no. no, you didn't. all you did was mock prom and anybody who had anything to do with it. i didn't ask to be elected king. the people demanded it. -i'm sorry, but mocking was one of my defense mechanisms. i thought it was eating. you know, some people just go and keep telling everyone their date's in the bathroom. i'm just offering it as an option. well, lucky for me, -i still have my old prom dress. you know, the one i bought in the hopes that a certain someone who had been ignoring me all through high school would finally ask me. i'm sorry, were you saying something? i was answering a text. so all i have to do now is just have it taken in. -oh, my god! or you could just use the leftovers and make some play clothes for the children. "sound of music"? oh, come on, people. it's a classic. -well, i'm glad you're going. maybe i could take you this time. you shouldn't go alone. oh, no. i'm not. -philip's taking me. he's actually flying in early from his conference in boston just so he can be my date. that's right, people. i have a boyfriend. and i'm going to prom. -oh, cool. bon jovi added a second show at the garden. practice is canceled tomorrow. oh, my god, really? that's how i can make things right with mom. -i can get her front row seats to bon jovi. good luck 'cause you're going to have to camp out overnight to get those kinds of seats. oh, my god. i'm in. what are you talking about? -you don't even like bon jovi. i know. i've just always wanted to go camping. where do you think we can get our hands on a tent? this is the life, isn't it? -you know, this must be how our ancestors waited in line for tickets. marshmallow? oh, my god. ben, are you okay? are you kidding me? -this is your "emergency 911"? what, you wanted me to hold your place in line while you peed? i'm sorry, mom. i just wanted to see the look on your face when i tell you i'm first in line for your forgiveness. a.k.a. bon jovi tickets. -oh, my god. ben, really? yeah. oh, i'm... i'm so touched. -see? this is what i'm talking about. making our relationship a two-way street. i'm glad you're happy. but when you call this a relationship, it makes me queasy. -oh, and ben, when you get the seats, i like to be a little off to the side. you know, so i get a good view of those dimples. and i'm not talking about the ones... i know what you're talking about. -i'll take anything. nosebleeds, ear bleeds... if i don't get tickets, i'll bleed. oh, this is good. you found seats? no, they changed the hold music. -tucker, man, what am i going to do? hey, benji. i just talked to janice from the old neighborhood. and i told her that i had two tickets to bon jovi. and that she can suck it, because i am bringing my favorite son. -whoa, mom, there's been a little hitch in our giddy-up. a what in our who-dy-up? what ben is trying to say is that the seats aren't in the first row. they're in the third. they are? -they are. i'm sorry. oh! no, no. that's fine. -oh, my god, benji! i am so excited! oh, i'm going to go find my easy-lift shirts so i can flash jon a special message... if you know what i mean. again, i know. tucker, you're a life-saver. -how did you get those tickets? charisma. my aunt charisma's a ticket scalper. well, i've been stood up for prom. my life is officially over! -there's a horrible storm in boston and all of the planes have been grounded. lamest boyfriend ever. aww, but cinder-riley, you have to go to the ball. no, obviously, i am just not meant to go to prom. -i wouldn't be so sure about that. oh, my god. danny. what are you doing? well, philip called, and he wanted me to make sure that you were okay. -i thought i could do better. corsage? this is just about the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. philip is just the best boyfriend ever. yeah, he's great. -but we should probably get moving. all right. bye, tucker. don't wait up. oh, i won't. -you know. mostly because i have a date. with emma. oh, come on. she didn't have to know that. -hey, ben. hey, how are the seats? oh, yeah. they're great. except they're a little far from the stage. -those tickets were fakes, dude. we've been arrested. really, ben? fake tickets? we could go to jail. -mom, don't worry. i'll straighten everything out with the guard. but just in case, you are wearing that easy-lift shirt, right? duh. excuse me, officer. -there's been a huge mistake. what? coming to a concert with fake tickets or coming to a concert with your mommy? hey, hey... huh? look, she's the biggest bon jovi fan in the world. -she once sat outside of his house for three days. and that's only because she couldn't scale a 15-foot wall. wall? please. it was an electric fence. -and i still got a bald spot in the back of my head. sir, look at this face. that is the face of innocence. and the best mom in the world. and i know, behind the cold steel of that badge, there's a heart in there somewhere. -so please, i beg of you. punish me twice, and let this amazing, selfless woman go. hey, hey. i've got a mom too. and i'd do anything for her. -oh, you both can go. really? thank you! oh, my god. i love you, huh? -mm... oh, where do you think you're going? oh, no, no. it's okay. he's letting us go. -and perhaps calling me later. well, it's going to be his one phone call. 'cause that bag of nuts is in here for impersonating an officer. riley, calm down. you look fine. -i do not look fine. i do not look fine. i tore my dress on the limo, and i spilled wine all down the front. and there are just, oh, a dozen sparkly hairpins scattered all across the new jersey turnpike. well, i guess there's always a chance of that happening when you stick your head out of the sunroof at 70 miles an hour and scream, "i'm going to prom, bitches!" -perrin. where have you been? you look like one of those after-prom pictures we use to warn girls not to drink too much and give it up in the back of a limo. oh, is that danny wheeler? hello, vice principal peters. -oh, please, daniel. you are an adult now. you may call me darlene. and now you're legal... oh! okay, all right. -well, we're just going to go into the dance and start chaperoning, okay? so see you under the disco ball, darlene. oh, no. you can hang up your dancing shoes. you're on duty in the girls' bathroom -for the first hour. what? why? what happens in there? well, if you'd gone to prom the first time like a normal person, you'd know. -i kind of used to have a crush on her. okay, so, i think i'm going to go with... things couldn't get any worse, all right? so i'm just going to go into the bathroom and serve my sentence. and then we will hit the dance floor. right after we bail your mom and ben out of bon jovi jail. -thank you for coming to my rescue. you were amazing in there. yeah, well, three years of law school... i was talking to danny. whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, mom. -you've lost the right to ever call me that again. no. you are not going to believe what i just did. whatever it is, undo it. i do work here, you know. -now, if you'll excuse us, we gotta get back to prom. oh, no, danny. i don't think so. i'm kind of over it. yeah. -i was wondering why you didn't make more of an effort. we have to go back. you've wanted this night your entire life. plus, it's been like an hour since you spilled on yourself, and your hair is starting to settle. i mean, we do have the limo until midnight. -okay. okay, okay. let's go. okay, now will you listen to me? no, i just added that to my list of things never to do again. -sorry! there you guys are. do you have any idea how many 40-something fake blondes wearing age-inappropriate clothing are running around here? god, it's a cougar-con. tucker, what the hell? -why are you out in the middle of the night with my baby? because emma and i just scored your mom the last available ticket to bon jovi. yeah, it's in the balcony, and behind a pillar, and the show's almost over... but, look, i just wanted you to know how truly sorry i am about the fake tickets. see? now, that is how you apologize. -thank you, tucker. yes, thank you, tucker. for nothing. because my mom will be backstage meeting bon jovi with her all-access pass. that's what i've been trying to tell you. -oh, my god! where did you get these? ! i swiped them off the security captain's desk. and i know it's illegal, but dare i say... -i was "living on a prayer." oh, benjamin wheeler, you are the most devious little criminal that a mother could ever love. see ya, tucket-master. yeah! oh, yeah! -what happened to those fake backstage passes we confiscated? well, emma, i would hate to think i hauled your ass out of your crib for nothing. i know. so... -what do you say we use this ticket and take you to see your first concert? i know! here you go. what? no... that was a fake too? -god! it's getting so you can't trust people selling stuff out of their cars in a dark alley anymore. section 342, seat 88. it's your lucky day. you just won a backstage pass for a meet-and-greet with jon bon jovi because we put the "fan" in "fantastic." -oh, my god! this is so great! wait, wait, wait... just so we're clear, is bon jovi a guy or a band? i don't know either. hello, jon bon jovi fan club members. -it is me, your president. and, in just a few moments, i will be meeting the man himself. i'm going to have him autograph here, here, and a mystery body part to be named later... my boobs. -hey, i'm ben. and i like to party. yeah, nobody cares. nobody cares. okay, not everyone can get back here. -it is very exclusive. oh, hey, what's up, mrs. wheeler? tucker, what are you doing here? oh, that ticket nobody wanted got us a backstage pass too. oh... except mine doesn't say -"madison square jarden." okay, people... mr. bon jovi will be here any minute. we've got some counterfeits out there. so i'll be double-checking everyone's passes and throwing out a few asses. -yes! we made it. that limo really flew. so much better with me driving, right? yeah. -wait, door's closing? no, no, no! no, no, no, no! door's closing? oh, my god... -i've been waiting seven years to wear this dress! wait, it can't be over. we'll get the band to play a few more songs. well, we'll at least get our picture taken by the balloon arch. danny, i so appreciate what you're trying to do here. -but it's over. just let it go. okay. well, we'll start planning for next year. come on. -i thought this was a dream of yours. well, some dreams don't come true. you know, and that's fine. i mean, it was silly anyway. i thought if i could just dance under that giant disco ball to my favorite song, i could erase who i was back then. -you know, the girl that nobody wanted to take to prom. it's fine. i think it's time that i just moved on. just give my mom the pass. no, i'm good. -tucker! look at that face. that is the biggest bon jovi fan and the best mom in the world. and i know, behind the cold plastic of that backstage pass, there's a heart in there somewhere. so please, i beg of you, let this amazing, selfless woman see bon jovi. -that sounds rehearsed. yeah. i will babysit for the next month. she's your baby. fine. -here's the pass. oh! thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! you know i do think of you as a second mom, so come here. oh, ben, you really are the best son ever. -and i really do love you, mom. now do what you gotta do. okay. these two hoodlums have fake passes. take these two out. -aw, come on. wait... come on. can i at least get a couple shrimp? all right, everyone, listen up. mr. bon jovi will be here any minute. -yeah! sorry. he's just catching a quick shower. so you're saying he's naked? alone? -in his dressing room? yeah. but it didn't sound quite so dirty when it came out of my mouth. you know what... i'm just going to duck out for like two seconds. -mr. bon jo... no. no no no no no! oh, jon! jon! -jon! hey! over here. it's me. bonnie wheeler. -i'm the one who short-circuited your fence. is everything okay? is something wrong with emma? no. she's fine. -it's you i was worried about. oh, danny. i'm fine. why are you still in your tux? because i don't believe in giving up on dreams. -oh, my god. danny. this is so sweet, but... i'm not finished. i don't know what to say. -say you'll dance with me. wait, i almost forgot the most important part. that is not the most important part. you always being there for me is. * i'll run with you forever * you really are the best friend a girl could ever ask for. -* as long a race as we have... * honestly, jon was just as charming and good-looking... and, dare i say, handsy... as i ever imagined him to be. i'm just so gosh-darn disappointed he wouldn't pose for pictures. really?

"listen, my children, and you shall hear "of the midnight ride of paul revere, "was the 18th of april in '75..." -oh, is that the poem? that's the poem, and it concludes with... our father did a v... uh, poem, um. really? -at dinner, about a lady from nantucket. uh... when we were at school you were allowed... if you were writing poems, you were allowed to do them rhyming when you're young. yeah. -but when you get older and cleverer, you don't rhyme, 'cause it's easy. but how do you tell the difference between poetry and prose if it doesn't rhyme? on the front of the book it will always tell you what it is. yeah. now, with... -what happened immediately after this? 'cause i know from experience that if my horse has that front leg up, it's about to go to the toilet. yes. well, i don't know. -the sculptor didn't capture that particular part of it. how long was paul revere sat on the horse, bob? well, he left at around 10:00 p.m... yes. ...and it was probably around 2:00 a.m. when he got out to concord. -i'm sure they don't talk about this, but if i'm on a horse for any length of time, i get quite a lot of chafing down there. i would imagine, yes. he would have looked like a red cauliflower by 2:00 a.m. bob: -so, what have you learned? lots, but i've forgotten a little bit as well. that happens, yes. yeah. i didn't know there was going to be a test. -i feel like i've learned more about the horse. that's good, that's good. yeah. well, it's been a pleasure meeting you, poppy. thank you so much. -enjoy the rest of your visit to our country. thank you. thank you very much, bob. lovely to meet you. very nice to meet you. -the british are leaving.

he's out. i wanna talk to him. both of you. -it's too late tonight. bullshit! what is this? huh? i mean, what kind of rules are you setting for the kid? -nick, you run your house the way you want to and i'll-- this is my house! look, theo needs a father. we need to be a family. the other night was a start, izzy. -no! it was a mistake. this whole thing is a mistake. i need to come home! i want a divorce. -the papers are ready. i got them last week. you mean right before you slept with me? it should never have happened. i don't know what i was doing. -no, you don't know what you're doing. but i know what you need to be doing! this is not the day to do this. no, no, no, no! you don't just say something like that and walk away! -you want a divorce? you want a divorce? my answer is no. it's not up to you, nick! it's not up to me. -it's not up to me. this... this is mine. this is my house! dad, stop! what are you doing? -you should go home! go home, nick! so, she's there right now? yep. you just walked out and you left her there? -well, she's used to being left alone. yeah, so you think. yeah, i do. does she know about me? no. -will she? i don't know. i guess dreams really do come true, huh? it's what you wanted, isn't it? yeah. -people don't change. we already established that you're not the type who cheats, so... you are a one-woman man. thanks for not stringing me along. just like that? -yeah. ben chartier! dan malloy. nice to see you again. likewise. -would you mind giving me one second here? go ahead. thank you. hello? hey, it's me. -hey! sorry to bother you. um, i'm at nick's. he's not here. i talked to isabelle. -she said he's pretty cracked up. did you talk to him? no, he left his phone here. um... i don't know. -i called marie's. um... maybe you could look for him. please. maybe try the cottage or... -i gotta stay here. of course! ok. thanks. is everything all right? -i'm really sorry. i've gotta take off. can we do this tomorrow? yeah, it's ok. thanks. -i'll see you then. nick? nick... don't! theo... -i'll just get him hurt too. god! you don't know how much i want to. nick! nick! -please. nick! don't do it. nick, don't do it. nick, let go. -please. are you ok? yeah. i'm fine. hey, nurse? -hi there! hi! what brings you here? i just came by to say thank you for going to see nick. no problem. -you two have met. yeah. amélie was telling me about nick. apparently, he's just a big softie inside. that's pretty much how i describe him. -i should go to work. i have to get your number. right! what are you doing? nothing! -relax, i just came by to say thank you. i didn't say anything to her. i like her. here you go. thank you. -ah, perfect! it was so good to meet you! you too! mmm! take care, hon. -bye! bye! see you around. she likes you. well, it's, uh, it's my partner's sister. -is there a story there? no, she-- she has a boyfriend. yeah, she said. hey, dad! hey! -thanks for coming in. yeah, sorry about last night. that's no problem. this way. ok. -so what's this about? you were at the meth-house raid, right? on the perimeter. mm-hmm. a lot of talk about that, huh? -even in the sq, apparently. so what's the chatter? um, well, apparently, there's a leak on the force. mm-hmm. well, that's why you're here. -anything we say to you in this room is restricted. you are not to discuss it with anyone. is that clear? that's clear. we have a mole in 19. -bullshit! hmm... i wish it was. you're fishing. you don't know that. -we've been on this for a couple of years. we know. the leak's in 19. you didn't get posted there by accident. i don't understand. -we put you there. we've had our eye on you for a little while now. you never wondered how your transfer to montreal came through so fast? the shooting went away pretty quick too, didn't it? hmm... -what did you spend, one day at a desk? it's like an angel watching over you. can we stop with the runaround, please? we need a cop that we can trust to do the right thing. you're that guy. -no! hmm! what do you know about the guy from the car? i heard that he was a ci. hmm... that's a cover story. -he was a cop. long-term uc. take a look. he's the one that tipped us off to the meth house. now he's dead. -it's not just a coincidence. three dead cops and counting. what do you want from me? what do you think? you're always complaining... -huh? did you see the ride they gave us last night? i haven't had a night like that in a while. you slipped? then you get 10 days off... -go for it! i'll back you up. what don't i get? you will? of course! -yeah, baby. i was just going around... these are digital files on everyone in 19. the access codes are in the folders. our original theory was that jean pierre harvey was the mole. -the leak seemed to have stopped when he got shot. that's no longer operational. now the most likely suspect is nick barron. why? he's got a background with known criminals... -so? service record is a mess. you must be realizing by now that your riding with him is not an accident, right? we want you close to him. so, my commander knows about this? -we told him where to put you. we didn't tell him why. still. none of this makes nick dirty. no. -but somebody is. this is the evidence that we used to trace the leak to 19. take your time. have a look. you'll see the same thing we do. -hey, mel! you got no choice here, chartier. you need to do the right thing. hey, ben! you ready, bambi? -my name is roman. ten years ago, our ship crash-landed on earth. we came here seeking refuge, but the humans thought that it was an invasion. (all yelling) -that night i met a human girl who tried to protect me. a girl i never thought i'd see again. the surviving members of my race, the atrians, were rounded up and isolated inside a militarized sector. now, it's 2024. seven of us have been chosen to attend high school as a part of a government integration program. -but the humans and the atrians continue to distrust each other while i fight to protect my people and the human girl who saved my life at any cost. previously on star-crossed: i am the grand matriarch of the red hawks. we're amassing more explosives to destroy the atrians. -(men cheer) what's going on? she's being charged with planning a terrorist attack! the cube is gonna take root inside beaumont's body, spreading its spores throughout edendale. you broke the trag code, so now you have to die. -(gasps) we should kill her. you can't do this. whether we like it or not, she's one of us. you just signed your own death sentences. -roman: do you think it doesn't kill me every time i have to walk away from you? i would give you everything... (echoing): -just not now. michelle: emery, breakfast is ready! reporter (on tv): for the first time, we've gotten a look at the inner workings of the red hawk organization. -margaret montrose was caught on video last night leading a secret red hawk meeting and planning an attack at the atrian sector. the local philanthropist is being held... without bail pending trial. are you okay? never thought this is what my 15 minutes of fame would look like. -(turns off tv) try and ignore them. reporters were all over our house after the shooting at the sector. there's french toast on the stove, you guys. we should get going if we're gonna get to my folks' by noon. -grayson, you can stay here as long as you need. thanks, but my uncle offered to put me up. let us know if there's anything you need. your parents are being really cool about this. you're lucky to have them. -after everything that my dad went through, they understand what it's like to have your world turned upside down. (quietly): yeah. i'm so sorry. don't be. -if it wasn't for you, i'm not sure i ever would have had the guts to stand up to my parents in the first place. for years, i would overlook things that they said or did because they were my parents. but that whole time, they were lying to me. how do you do that? how do you look somebody in the eyes that you care about and lie to them? -sometimes i think it's just harder for people to admit the truth. i have so many questions. i'm gonna go see my mom today. i figure it's better to get it all out than bottle it up, right? i think you're probably right. -you mind coming along? i could use the support. of course. you need to quit the trags. once you're in, there's no going back. -you know that. all i can do now is let 'em think i'm still with them. maybe you really don't want out. hey, i stopped zoe from killing you last night. you really need more assurance than that? -we need to find zoe before she tells vega that we wrecked her plans to kidnap grayson. if vega finds out, we're both dead. yeah, but you were their go-between. zoe can't get into the sector to tell vega. that's where her looking human actually helps us. -yeah, but zoe's smart and relentless. she'll find a way to get to vega. or she might just come gunning for us herself. julia: wow. -bad timing. no kidding. how was i supposed to tell grayson about roman when he showed up on my doorstep last night? he deserves to know, em. sure, i'll just mention it to him while we're on our way to visit his mom in prison later. -who, by the way, is there because of me. no, she's there because she's a terrorist. you have to let yourself off the hook. there's no way you would have known that grayson's mom would be at that meeting. -maybe not. it's, just, i was the one that told grayson to stand up to his parents. you can't stay with grayson out of guilt. it's not just that. grayson's been there for me. -after the mess i've made, i need to be there for him. (speaking low, indistinctly) i can't think about roman right now. i just need to see this thing through with grayson. for how long? -as long as it takes. i told you to go over there last night. what happened? oh, i made it to the front door, but grayson was there. saw them through the window. -they looked cozy. maybe we should've let zoe take grayson out after all. eric: i can't believe that about your mom. how is she? -ha... have you seen her yet? no, but i will. actually, can we talk about something else? uh, yeah, the... -i'm failing trig. wow. um, i could tutor you, if you want. what? it's not that big a deal. -trig's hard. for some reason, i picked it up quickly. but trust me, there are plenty of things i don't get. like cars. -you leave bruce out of this. wait, wait. i'm sorry. who's bruce? her beat-up old car. -i like to thing of bruce as a member of the family. because he's been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. ha-ha, you joke, but i've actually been a little worried about bruce. every time i speed up, he's starts making this weird chirping sound. that's your fan belt. -or a reason to get a new car. i think you should stick with bruce, chirping and all. loyalty's important. thank you, grayson. benton: -hey, guys. enjoying your sunday? hi, miss benton. hey, grayson, so sorry about your mom. if you want to talk, my door is always open. -thanks. yeah, uh, i appreciate it. all right. see you guys in class. hey, waiting on somebody? -taylor. guess she lost track of time. uh, listen, i know you like taylor. and i admire your taste. it's like the girl carries around her own wind machine. -(chuckles) it's just... you do realize that she likes guys, right? so? i do, too. atrians don't choose who we love based on gender. isn't that... -limiting? not so much for me. but hey, to each his own. or her own. oh, call zoe. -(phone ringing) okay, this is the third message i'm leaving you. we need to debrief about the party. you disappeared and... i must have details so call me back. -okay? hey, hold on. let me help out. hey, let me help. let me help. -what do you need help with? thanks. uh, can you pop the trunk for me? thanks. (coughing) -(laughing) lukas! lukas! lukas! (shouting indistinctly) -not exactly what i had in mind, but he'll do. (starts engine) taylor: i need an ambulance! my friend started choking and then collapsed on the ground! -help, you guys! help me! let's lay him out. here. put him down. -someone help! breathe. you're okay. you're okay. just try to breathe. -just try to breathe. breathe. breathe. breathe, buddy. an ambulance is coming. -grayson: it's okay. drake. this is black cyper, isn't it? where'd you get it? -emery found it in taylor's car. zoe must have put it there. we got to get back and talk to castor. he'll know what to do. hey, roman. -so that was some kind of cyper? did it do that to lukas? who put it there? roman, if you know something, you need to tell me. that's my best friend who just got taken away in an ambulance. -he's my friend, too. but if we have any chance of helping lukas, we got to get back to the sector and learn more about what this is. i know this isn't easy, but... you got to trust me on this. i'll be at the hospital. -lukas is gonna be all right. the doctors will know what to do with him. roman: so you're thinking lukas was not the intended target? zoe must have been testing the black cyper to make sure it worked. -and she hates taylor. what did vega say was the next step in the trags' plan? she didn't tell me. but zoe took me to a field where i helped her plant some in beaumont's body. well, if the black cyper's been planted, that means there's a lot more of it out there. -yeah. i can take you to the site where we buried the body. gotta know how to get rid of it first. woman (over p.a.): dr. morris, dial 112, please. -dr. morris, please dial 112. emery: mrs. parnell. emery. how're you holding up, dear? -i'm fine. how're you? my boy's strong. a bunch of our friends are here to support lukas, but they didn't want to crowd you. this is... -sophia? lukas talks about you all the time. i'm so glad you're here. ma'am. yes, doctor? -lukas's lungs are badly burned from the toxic substance he inhaled, and his airways are swollen. he isn't responding to treatment. we are running a few more tests, but if we can't get the swelling down soon, he won't be able to breathe air into his lungs. i'm very sorry. we're doing everything we can. -thank you, doctor. castor: vega's always been reckless, but this is extreme, even for her. and you planted this. drake can be trusted. -how can this leaf wipe out an entire race? castor: it's not the leaf, roman. it's the spores. let me show you. -when a black cyper bush grows, eventually it releases all of its spores into the air. if inhaled directly, the spores from a single black cyper leaf can seriously, if not fatally, burn the lungs of a human. so just imagine entire bushes releasing the spores at the same time. roman: so how do we help lukas? -castor: the only cure is freshly-cut black cyper mixed with atrian blood. and if we can find the black cyper plant, how do we get rid of the rest of it? you detonate this in the center of the plant. a bomb? -why do you even have this? for reasons such as this. don't worry, it is not detectable by the seu scanners. now the question is: when did you plant the body? eight days ago. -eight days is the life cycle of the plant, which means it will release its spores today. now, did you plant any other bodies? no. if you can find and destroy the plant before it releases its spores, vega's plan will be averted. -so go. and i'll keep my ear to the ground in the sector. colleen? emery. my goodness. -how you been? it's been so long... you look great. i'm good, i'm just here visiting a friend. lukas parnell? oh, i heard. -i'm so sorry. have you seen anyone with his symptoms before? the doctors aren't saying much. emery. please, colleen, he's one of my best friends. -look, you didn't hear this from me, but... they found a camper yesterday out in black bear lake state park. brought him in with the same symptoms. some kind of chemical burn in his lungs. how's he doing? (birds chirping) -you're sure this is the place? positive. zoe must have moved the body. (screech) if castor's right, we only have hours before black cyper covers the entire town. -are you sure you can get taylor to help us? yeah, we have a, uh, connection. besides, she's our only lead if we want to find zoe. how's lukas? he's the same: not good. -i was hoping there was something you could do to help him. (sighs) emery, cyper can't cure him. she knows about cyper? she can be trusted. yeah? -what about her red hawk boyfriend? grayson and i saved you from the red hawks during the carnival, remember that? your secret's safe with me, i just want lukas to get better. emery, lukas can only be cured using black cyper that's been cut the same day. the leaf you found won't work. -can you get more? we're working on it. we think it's being grown somewhere remote. there was a camper yesterday who's brought in with the same symptoms. he was found at black bear lake state park. -it doesn't get more remote than that. where is it? i can take you there. i actually know it pretty well. my dad used to take me hiking there all the time. -no, you don't need to come. this could be too dangerous. i'm gonna do whatever i can to help lukas. so you can either come with me, or i'm gonna go search the park on my own. (short laugh) -all right. i'll go with emery. you find zoe. maybe one of us will have some luck. hey, you okay? -(sighs) barely. my throat's totally scratchy and i have to stick around for more tests. the paramedics say i should be fine, but how can they be so sure? it's not like they're doctors. i mean, i was standing right there when lukas inhaled... (quick deep breath) ...whatever that was. -it's not like you and zoe even care. i saw you two leave grayson's party together last night. it's not what you think. despite the fact that i got it on with you in a public bathroom, i'm not an idiot. zoe told me there was a place where i could get booze to take back to the sector. -that's all. nothing happened. zoe's been ignoring my calls all day. i thought maybe you two hooked up and she was avoiding me. now i'm actually worried. -she usually calls me back right away. i hope she's okay. well, uh... what's her address? i mean, if it makes you feel any better, i'll can go over there... -drake. really? if you are using me to get to zoe, then... i swear that zoe is the last person on the planet i want to get with. -besides, i, uh... i prefer blondes. (exhales) i'll check on zoe. why are we testing samples from two high school girls? -because of something a tabloid reporter said? a tabloid reporter who just blew the lid off the red hawks. and these aren't just any two high school girls. emery whitehill and julia yeung were both hospitalized with serious illnesses. both of them recently made full recoveries. -we've never been this close to cyper before. once we've determined if either girl was cured using cyper, we'll proceed. not a moment before. emery: the nurse said the camper was found on the road, somewhere right around here. -i know the best campsite, it isn't on the map. let's go. i heard you and drake talking about zoe. what does she have to do with all this? okay, we're not going to doing this again. -the whole "i can't tell you for your own protection" crap. you're better off not knowing. that's for me to decide. like it or not, i'm in this now. you really want to protect me, then let me know what we're up against. -zoe is an atrian. she had her atrian markings removed so she could pass as a human. and she's not the only one. there are other hidden trags living outside the sector. you're saying there are hidden atrians living among the humans and one of them was inside of our school? -who are the trags? (sighs) you've heard of the atrian extremists who hate humans, right? they're the trags. they're the ones who have been targeting you and your family. -one of those hidden trags tried to kill you the night of the carnival. but i was able to stop him. so then what the red hawks are saying is true? there are hidden atrians trying to hurt humans. the trags are a fringe group. -just like the red hawks. and like the red hawks, they hate race-mixing. if they thought that you and i were together, they would kill you. just to send a message. (sighs) -all i wanted was to protect you from this. all of it. no. i needed to hear this. i wanted to know all this time why you kept pushing me away. -now i do. we should keep moving. (wrench ratcheting) what are you doing? is this where you've been the whole time? -uh... yeah, i... i hate hospitals. so i, i got you a new fan belt, new spark plugs. what you really need is... new everything. -emery's right, you need a new car. shh. don't listen to him, bruce. he doesn't know what he's talking about. this car has character. -if by character you mean rust... yeah, it has a ton. cute. so, what do i owe you? i don't know. um... if you want, you can just pay me back with tutoring. -(wrench ratcheting) okay, deal. i'll see you later then. well, wait, wait. um... -this is from the grocery store where i work. it's for lukas's family. hospital food sucks, you know? that's really sweet of you. are you doing okay? -yeah. yeah, i'm... i'm on my way to see my mom. and emery was supposed to go with me, but she texted saying that she had to run out for a while. so i guess i'm going solo. -i just wanted to check on lukas before i left. any change? no. i just wish there was something i could do to help him. (beeping) -help! hey! we need help in here! oh, no, no! oh, no! -(crying): no! (knocking) (yelling) this looks like the campsite. -the black cyper could be growing in there. stay back, i don't want you breathing in the spores. what about you? you remember biology class? atrians can breathe through their skin. -comes in handy in a dust storm. or being underwater. or tracking down plants with deadly spores. nothing. it's okay. -we're gonna find it. we have to find it. maybe drake's having better luck finding zoe. (phone ringing) grayson, hey. -been standing out here for a half an hour psyching myself out. are you... are you sure you can't make it? i'm so sorry. you know i want to be there. so why can't you? -i have to take care of something. i'll explain later. it's important that you talk to your mother. you can do this. yeah, i know, uh, -i'll be fine. i'll see you at the hospital after. i heard about grayson's mother. how's he doing? his whole world is falling apart. -his parents let him down, and... he doesn't have anyone else. well, that's not true. he has you. (grunts) (grunts, pants) -(yells) (panting) (yelling) (gasping breaths) (grunting, panting) -(panting) i'm sorry. no, no need to apologise. mistakes were made. you were right to come in with a firm hand. -well, i'd better go. karen... i was thinking of, uh, getting some breakfast before going home. i have to go over to division for one last briefing. bureaucracy... -rain check? sure. chloe. really good work today. you too. -i found this in edgar's possessions. i thought you should have it. thanks. hey. what's all this, then? -a friend of mine who died today. you, um... do you wanna talk about it? yeah. come on. -jack? oh, my god. agent davies, jack bauer's missing. attention, all units. we have a missing agent -jack bauer. i repeat, jack bauer. you two men, search the lower levels. give me three men on a perimeter search. you surely must be aware, mr. bauer, that china has a long memory. -only 18 months ago you invaded our territory and killed our consul. did you really think that we would forget? hm? i know how this works. i need to make one phone call. -please. just one phone call. kill me. just... kill me. kill you? -you're far too valuable to kill, mr. bauer. coordinates for the targets-- upload them into the missiles. begin the launch countdown. how much time do you need to cancel the launch sequence? i won't know for certain till i see how the targeting software is configured. -we're going to keep bierko and his men out of here, so you can finish this. chloe: ten seconds to launch. it's done. ( over radio ): -the launch sequence is canceled. you were never really going to let me go, were you? jack: no. you were responsible for the deaths of david palmer and tony almeida and michelle dessler. -i'm going after logan. what do you mean, "going after logan"? i'll fill you in on the details later. right now, i need you to walk me through modifying some field communications equipment. who is this guy? -morris o'brian, chloe's ex-husband. i need some com unit modifications. can you do that without talking? i could, but it would be a terrible waste of my charm. jack bauer's on his way here now. -he's going to confront your husband directly. but charles is leaving for the airfield immediately. you have to find a way to stall him. there's a helicopter waiting for me. let it wait. -i can't. yes, you can. you're the president. aaron said the recording you had implicating the president was destroyed. yes. -novick: without it, you can't mount a case. i'm working with someone inside ctu. they're setting up a digital uplink. if i can get logan to acknowledge everything that he's done today, it's going to be all the evidence we need. -i need to get on that chopper. pierce: i don't see how that's gonna be possible. if logan doesn't confess, how far are you actually willing to go? as far as i have to. -ah... here, let me get this for you. watch your hair. thank you. you're welcome. -i got a flight suit. go ahead. did you make it to the secret service outbuilding? yeah. i think morris and i may have a way to pull the copilot from the flight. -what about the reassignment protocol? working on it. mike novick will have to verify the pilot codes. it should take him about one minute. chloe, hold on a second. -i'm switching over to com. okay. do you copy? yeah. i'll get back to you as soon as i'm on the chopper. -mike novick's going to call. morris. yes, sweetheart? i need you to do one more thing. some guy from central just called. -says your packet's messed up. i got that straightened out monday. i guess not. he wants to talk to you. now? -right now. he had me patch you through to the secret service outbuilding. mike. i've delayed him as long as i can. he'll be there in a few minutes. -have you heard anything from jack bauer yet? he should be in the secret service outbuilding. i'm sending him the necessary documents now. there's not much time. i understand. -pierce: yeah, mike. the reassignment protocol and authorization should be coming through to you. he'll need both. how are we doing for time? -hurry. hello. hello. john. aaron. -i thought you transferred out. not quite yet. some guy from central called, said my packet's all messed... don't worry about him. carruth has been relieved. -i guess there was something wrong with his packet. ron franklin. there's my protocol. this is not bad, but it needs to be more positive, like, uh... jack bauer is on the helicopter. -you have to find an excuse not to get on board. logan: um... carolyn, do you have the itinerary? martha: -charles? excuse me. could i talk to you for a second? absolutely. will you excuse us for a second? -i know it sounds silly, but i didn't bring my medication. and i just, i just want to have it with me. of course. of course. we'll send somebody back for it. -no, no, no. i don't want to delay you. i'll be along later. besides, charles, i-i'm thinking that when you land, it would be better if i wasn't with you. -why? this is your moment, charles. i-i think that... when you step out of that helicopter alone, after saving the country, that is an image that history will never forget. all right. thank you, marti. -but don't be far behind me, now. i won't. thank you. captain. i can fly this thing if i have to, which leaves you with one of two choices. -you either do what i say and you live, or you don't and you die for nothing. you understand me? i want you to wait until i give you my command, then follow these instructions slowly. you're going to disconnect your helmet from the communications system. then i want you to rip out the mic cable, take your helmet off and stow it. -do it now. i'll know if you deviate from your flight plan. mr. president! i have a message for you from the white house! logan: -what the hell are you doing? ! put these on! you. this is jack. -do you copy? i'm here, jack. where are you? we just left the ranch. i have logan with me. -is morris standing by with the equipment? he's on his way. i'll let him know you're airborne. make sure the pilot takes heading 2-8-6 for two miles, then breaks south. captain! -i want you to follow heading 2-8-6 for two miles, then break south. once you break south, there should be an industrial park. there's an abandoned printing press facility that you can use. i'll get back to you. copy that. -what are you trying to do, jack? whatever it is, you know you won't get away with it. are you going to kill me? i suppose you want some sort of revenge. i understand that. -bad things happened. i didn't want them to happen. people who worked for me-- they-they went too far. they did things that they thought i wanted them to do, but they were wrong. -you have to understand. i have always acted in the country's best interest. but you're just trying to get even. do you realize what effect this will have on the american people? this day has been trying enough, and now the president is being attacked. -if you want to do what's right, you will turn this thing around and go back. damn it, bauer, say something! hello. morris. yes, love. -the helicopter is landing in an industrial park one mile due east of where you are. head over there. okay, now, i give this guy what we worked on, and then i'm out, right? yes, but make sure you have him call me when you do the hand-off. all right. -thanks. shut it down! your safety belt. move towards the door slowly. come on. -move! come on. move inside. go. jack, maybe we can work something out. -there's still time. what do you want? i can help you get away from here with enough money to start a new life, maybe find that daughter of yours. try to work something out. whatever you want, it's yours. -you have my word. your word. jack, i'm the president of the united states. i'm not, i'm not carrying any weapons. don't you make a sound. -hey. give me the case. jack bauer. i should have known that. modified equipment. -yeah. oh, that's president logan, jack. get out of here. yeah. chloe wants you to call her. -go. yeah, jack? i have him. all right. i've just checked the response deployment. -you have less than ten minutes until they're on you. fine. listen, jack. i don't mean to put any added pressure on you, but if you don't have a confession by then, we'll all be arrested for treason. is this some kind of broadcast? -what is this? i would like to know. is this an assassination? a confession. don't count on it. -i know you're good at extracting information. i know that you're good at torture. i saw what you did with walt cummings. i think you'll be surprised to find out that i'm a little tougher than that. take a seat. -chloe, it's jack. can you hear me? yeah, jack. i want to make sure that you have good reception. who you talking to? -are those your friends at ctu? you know you're putting them in danger, as well. coming through fine, jack. okay, good. my people can't be far behind, jack. -there's still time to get away. take it. the plan involving the sentox nerve gas, it was designed to fool the terrorists and the russians. whether or not you formulated the plan is irrelevant. you authorized it. -you're delusional. david palmer uncovered evidence of this plan. when he started asking questions, he was assassinated. other people were killed to cover that murder up. men and women who served this country with distinction; -people that i worked with; friends of mine. no, you're wrong. this is all a pack of lies. the terrorists discovered your deception. -and they deployed sentox nerve gas on american soil. every american who died today as a result of terrorist activity is another murder that you're accountable for. and before you leave here, you're going to admit it. i suppose if you hurt me enough, jack, i'll say whatever you want, but that won't make it the truth. -and everybody who watches this will know that perfectly well. what are the names of your co-conspirators? there are no co-conspirators, because there is no... walt cummings, christopher henderson, -james nathanson have all admitted to being part of this conspiracy! now they are dead! right before christopher henderson died he acknowledged that there were others! what are their names? ! -a man will say anything under torture. this won't mean a thing. mr. logan, i'm not going to torture you, but you are going to tell me what i want to know. or so help me god, i will kill you. -a year and a half ago, i was warned that my life was in danger by someone within the government. i was told the only way i could stay alive was to create the illusion that i was dead. i was forced to deceive people that i loved. my only daughter will never forgive me. -as i see the depth of your corruption unfold, i have no doubt that you are that source of danger. david palmer was a great man. and he was a great president. he was also my friend. -he tried to warn me about you and now he is dead. other people tried to help me and they are dead, too. so, mr. logan, i hope you understand i have absolutely nothing to lose. you are going to be held accountable for your part of everything that happened today. -you are not going to be able to hide behind the presidency. right here, right now, you are going to face justice! and make no mistake about this, this is personal. and if you think for a second that i am scared to put a bullet in your brain, you don't know me. i'm going to ask you one last time, who are your co-conspirators? -you have until the count of three, or i will kill you. one... you make me a martyr, i'll go down in history with lincoln and kennedy, but you'll go down with john wilkes booth and lee harvey oswald. is that what you want? two! -you're a man of honor. how can you assassinate a president of the united states in front of the entire world? if you love your country, you won't pull the trigger. three! you can't do it, can you? -no, jack, it's all right. jack, it's all right. it's all right. it's all right that you can't. i'm the president. -jack, they're here. agent: lay flat on your stomach! put your hands out in front of you! extend your arms! -mr. president, are you all right? i'm fine. i actually feel sorry for that man. he's delusional. it would be better if he were put in some sort of solitary confinement for the time being. -jack bauer wasn't able to get the president to confess, mrs. logan. i'm sorry. why not? what happened? -i'm not sure of the details. bauer's in custody. gentlemen. thank you. thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. -that will be all. thank you so much. if i could just get you to come this way. thank you. thank you so much. -david... marti, don't do this to me now. you killed him. you killed him. you're a murderer. -stop. you are! you're a criminal! my wife is not well. would you please escort her? -get off me! don't you touch me! don't you touch me! escort her into the hangar, please. you don't know what he did! -he's not fit to be president! it is a sacrilege for him to be even speaking david's name! don't...! no! i want to make sure that she's all right. -has the hangar been cleared? yes, sir. all secure. it's empty. good. -let them know that i'll be back in a moment. yes, mr. president. you're not wearing some kind of listening device, are you? what are you talking about? i have to watch you now, marti. -you said that i was a good liar, but i am nothing compared to you. charles...! stop it! stop it! charles... -aah! yeah, marti. tell me the truth. you're hurting me. you don't know what pain is. -i'm on to you, marti. i should've seen it from the first, but i wanted to believe that you still cared for me. making love to me was just a ploy, wasn't it? took a lot of planning to get jack bauer on that helicopter. you were part of that plan, weren't you? -it was your job to delay me, wasn't it? wasn't it? ! please... wasn't it? -! they used you so jack bauer could get to me. come on, marti. come on, marti. admit it, you were part of it. -yes. yes. why? why...? why did you help them? -because you killed david palmer. i told you i didn't realize that was going to happen. your people killed him to protect you. you covered it up, that's just as bad. i covered it up because i had to. -oh, and then others died to cover that up. that's right, for the good of the country. you sold nerve gas to terrorists. you're insane. you're insane! -i did it for the good of the country as i saw it at the time. you're such a hypocrite. after your little performance this morning, you're in no position to call me a hypocrite. and i will tell you something else-- if you blow up like this one more time... i will fill you so full of drugs, you won't even remember your own name. -and then i will ship you off to an asylum and you can stay there for the rest of your life. are we clear? are we clear? my fellow americans, this has been a terrible day in the history of this country-- and yet at the same time, a triumphant day, because in the end, we won a significant victory over the forces of chaos and terror. we have preserved and protected our way of life, despite the loss of innocent american lives. -i'll start the transmission in one minute. is the attorney general there? i'm here, ms. o'brian. i certainly hope this recording is as important as you claim it is. chloe, what's this about? -i set up a conference call with the attorney general. he's on speakerphone now. are you serious? i'm very serious. mr. attorney general, this is karen hayes, -homeland security. bill buchanan, ctu. sir, i apologize. ms. o'brian placed this call without authorization from me. i'm sorry i had to do that. -we had to do things under the radar to protect you all in case things went wrong. in case what things went wrong? i think it would help if i just played the recording. hayes: what recording? -it's a conversation that took place five minutes ago between the president and his wife. how could you possibly have a recording of something like that? sir, an agent named jack bauer placed a listening device on the president shortly before this conversation. bauer? isn't he the one that's under arrest? -chloe: i'm going to play the recording now. i don't want to listen to it. ms. o'brian, at the very least, this constitutes an egregious violation of privacy, and we're talking about the president. martha ( sobbing ): -...'cause you killed david palmer. logan: i told you, i didn't realize that was going to happen. your people killed him to protect you. you covered it up, that's just as bad. -i covered it up because i had to. oh, and then others died to cover that up! that's right, for the good of the country. you sold nerve gas to terrorists. you're insane. -you're insane! a poet once said, "no man is an island." on a day like this, we can feel the truth of those words. any untimely death is a tragedy. yet some men embody such greatness of character that their death serves as a unifying force for those who remain behind. -david palmer was such a man. a great president, a great american-- and on a more personal note-- a wonderful friend. he'll be missed... ( cell phone rings ) ...more than words can express... holtzman. -yes, sir. we take this moment to remember with appreciation... with all due respect, mr. attorney general, are you sure this isn't some kind of mistake? yes, sir. i understand, sir. -i'll do exactly as you say. this country might have not survived in its present form. it's very appropriate that david palmer will be laid to rest in arlington cemetery, for he was a soldier in the truest sense. he was a man whose courage rose in direct proportion to the threats his country faced. in closing, i would ask that the country observe a national day of mourning for one of the greatest americans this nation will ever see. thank you very much. -federal marshall. would you please come with us? what the hell do you think you're doing? you came very close to disrupting my speech. brown: -on behalf of president logan, i wish to thank you all very much for joining us. i am sorry, but out of respect for today's... those are ridiculous accusations. excuse me. -if i may, sir? you've probably never seen one of these, mr. president. it's a micro-transmitter. agent clark, arrest these men and get them the hell out of here. i'm sorry. -mr. president. we have our orders. you take...! you take your orders from me. not anymore. -after you, sir. officer: attention! aim, fire! officer: -attention! aim, fire! attention! aim, fire! present arms. -sir. give me a second. hey. hey. thank god you're safe. -everything's going to be all right. jack, when i heard you kidnapped the president... i was just trying to get him to give me a direct confession. jack... how much longer do you need to stay here? -not much longer. they can debrief me tomorrow. you sure? i can't believe you're really, you're really here. agent bauer, excuse me, but there's a call for you from your daughter. -from my daughter? yes, sir. a kim bauer. it's been put through to a land line just inside that door. thank you. -i'll be right back. i promise. take as long as you need. i'm not going anywhere. i love you. -i'll be right back. hey, kim? any word on logan? no. my guess is he'll try to cut a deal. -he'll resign without a fight in exchange for clemency. he doesn't deserve clemency. no, but the country doesn't deserve a long impeachment process, either, with everything that's happened. in any event, we can expect hal gordon to be sworn in as president soon. -which means this will probably be the last time i see this place. i don't think so. not if i have anything to do with it, and i will. you'll be back here running ctu. -thank you. i appreciate that. when i came in here last night to save the day, i was a little bit condescending and tactless, to say the least. i had no idea what you were up against. -i'm sorry. no. no need to apologize. mistakes were made. you were right to come in with a firm hand. -well, i better go. karen. i was thinking of getting some breakfast before going home. i have to go over to division for one last briefing. bureaucracy. -rain check? sure. chloe, really good work today. you, too. i found this in edgar's possessions. -i thought you should have it. thanks. hey. what's all this, then? a friend of mine who died today. -you, um, do you want to talk about it? yeah? come on. jack? oh, my god. -agent davis, jack bauer's missing! attention, all units. we have a missing agent: jack bauer. i repeat, we have a missing agent: -jack bauer. ...the lower level. put three men on perimeter search. report back. you surely must be aware, mr. bauer, that china has a long memory. -only 18 months ago, you invaded our territory and killed our consul. did you really think that we would forget, hmm? i know how this works. i need to make one phone call. please... just one phone call. -kill me. just... kill me. kill you? you're far too valuable to kill, mr. bauer. previously on "battlestar galactica": -i, sharon agathon, will carry out the lawful orders of my superiors... as an officer in the colonial fleet. congratulations, lieutenant. we're talking about people blowing themselves up. i've got one job here, lady, and one job only. to disrupt the cylons, make them worry about this ant hill they've stirred up here... so they're distracted and out of position when the old man shows up in orbit. -you know the mission. you also know there's only one way this mission ends, and that's with the successful rescue of our people off of new caprica. evacuate the facility. you should go as well, gaius. there's a place for you too. -captain? hi. who's this? this is... kacey! -oh, my little girl! when the cylons took her, i thought... but you saved her! gods bless you. a lot of good people had to pay the price for choices they made on new caprica. -like my wife. that's right. ellen collaborated. gave the cylons information on the resistance, and she died for it. there's still a question of my value. -there always will be. you're human. (baltar) good to see you. i far prefer these picturesque settings for our little interludes, don't you? i thought you'd abandoned me to your cylon comrades. -would i do that? you've always been more unpredictable than your flesh-and-blood counterparts. a man that loves women as much as you should have learned that a long time ago. i'm a slow learner. then take this period as a time to learn all you can about the cylons. -you'll need it in the days ahead. something special on the horizon? cylon psychology's based on projection. projection? how they choose to see the world around them. -the only difference is you choose to see me. what are you? really? you're either connected to the woman i knew on caprica, or a part of my subconscious struggling for self-expression. so which one is it? -i'm an angel of god, sent here to help you. just as i always have been. we're all part of one big ecosystem. yes, i can feel it... breathing. get used to it. -so, what'd he say? i haven't asked him yet. asked me about what? earth. uh... -wha? earth. it's the thirteenth colony. do you know how to find it? not really, no. -that's unfortunate. there was a hope - my hope - that if you knew the way to earth, it would justify keeping you alive a little longer. come on, six. wait. wait! -wait! now, when i say that i do not know exactly where earth is, that is not to say i do not know a great deal about its probable location. honestly, i spent hours... days. weeks! -months and months on a map that adama and roslin found on kobol. i correlated that with our observations. i doubt anyone can make the same claim. we'll get back to you. what do you care about finding earth? -because we're looking for it. you are? yes, we've decided that earth's going to be our new home. (helo) ship-to-ship training exercise is authorised. you may commence. -this is apollo. red team set. (kat) blue team set. red team, apollo. as soon as we clear the moon, we'll be on their dradis. -keep your eyes up. they're gonna hit us with everything they got. stay in formation, starbuck. narcho, you're my wing man. blue team, kat. -let's show these lazy fraks how it's done. red team, starbuck. i got hotdog. (beeping)... (beeping) - i'm hit! -red team, apollo. i'm going after kat. (beeping) got you! whoo! -you're gonna have to do better than that, apollo. come on! (starbuck) i'll take care of kat. (apollo) starbuck, narcho has kat. inbound. -(kat) starbuck, you're too close! frak! compressor blew. looks like it severed the fuel line. cally, check the tank. -god, this is ugly. tank's dry. there's not even fumes in here. (chief) captain, how'd you land this? i pointed it at the deck and stopped. -bone-dry, she says. landed the bird without a drop of fuel. if you want to die, i will open up an airlock for you, but you are not taking my vipers with you. the bird's on the deck. i'm on the deck. what are you bitching about? -i don't give a frak what you do, starbuck. you're done flying. (woman) i can't believe you did that to me. (tigh) what? (woman) don't look at me like that! -oh, my gods! ellen? ellen! excuse me! hey, make a hole! -excuse me. ellen. (woman) i've told you a thousand times. ellen, i'm right here. what is this? -let go of me. kara! kara! kacey? kara, kara! -i'm sorry, don't you remember me? i'm julia brynn. i'm kacey's mom. yeah, i remember. (kacey) give me a hug. we're staying in... -everyone's calling it camp oil slick -... part of the hangar deck. they've put up cots for refugees. yeah. yeah, i heard. kacey's been asking to see you for days. -i sent messages. i thought maybe you'd come for a visit. you seem like a nice person so i'm gonna be honest with you. the last thing i need is a two-year-old friend, and she doesn't need me in her life, so do us both a favour and do not bring her around here again, ok? go to your mom, kace. -sure. sorry. don't let us keep you up. sorry, honey. we gotta go. -(helo) there it goes. that's it. see? see? i told you you could do it. -you did great. remind me never to let that happen again. you got it, slim. ever! i've been trying to reassemble president bal... -dr baltar's work on piecing together the thirteenth tribe's path to earth. what is it you trust about his research? how do you know it's not another lie? one thing i learned about baltar... was his extraordinary capacity for self-preservation. i think he wanted to find earth because he wanted to get there. -how far did he get with his research? as you can see, i'm still hacking through his notes, but it appears that he was trying to correlate our own astrometric readings... with the map of constellations that we found back on kobol... and applying his findings to certain select passages... within the scroll of pythia. why the scroll of pythia? pythia's supposed to have chronicled the journey of the thirteenth tribe to earth. -if i can draw your attention to this, "the caravan of the heavens was watched over... by a great lion with a mighty blinking eye..." "red and blue." - (gaeta) exactly. exactly what? we're looking for a lion's head? with a mighty blinking eye. -blinking! the scrolls, they speak in metaphors. i thought the doctor might be off his meds as well, sir, but then i found this note... here, where he had written "blinking equals pulsar". that means a star, right? plural, actually. -they're the rotating cores of dead stars. they emit a blast of radio waves. from a distance, they appear to... blink. right. -the doctor found two in very close mutual orbit within this sector. the spectrographic readings i found... show one will appear to be red and one will appear to be blue. now, these pulsars appear to be in this nebula. we have never had a look at this area, but it is possible, with a couple of eyeballs out there, they might look at the nebula and see... a giant lion's head. -well, it looks like this is the best thing we've got going, so... unless you object, admiral, i suggest we go lion hunting. (number six) the navigational markers you gave us may prove useful. we sent a baseship out to investigate the pulsars and look for this lion's head. look, this isn't easy for me. -i don't think you fully appreciate just how difficult this is. i have very conflicted, very ambiguous feelings about helping you find earth. funny how all that ambivalence and conflict vanished... once you thought your life hung in the balance. you should know there's still scepticism about whether you're being truthful. uh... i'm very sorry. -we didn't mean to intrude. come on, gaius. (baltar) are we going round in circles? it all looks the same to you. it'd be hard for any human to navigate here, especially without projecting. -you've used that word before. i'm not sure what you're talking about. it helps you to... what, exactly? have you ever daydreamed? imagined you were somewhere else? -i do have an active imagination. well, we don't have to imagine, we project. we choose to see our environment in any form we wish, whenever we wish. for instance, now, you see us as standing in a hallway, but i see it as a forest. filled with trees, birds, sunlight. -like the walks that you and i used to take. on caprica. the aesthetic's what gives me pleasure, not the specific memories. instead of blank walls, i surround myself with a vision of god's creation. right, i think i understand projection, but it's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it? -that i could see such a vivid reality that i've created... and the cylon projection experience seems so similar. is it a coincidence? well, what are you saying? there's a connection? what? -because of my experiences with you... am i a cylon? what was that? oh, nothing. just talking out loud. -silly me. are you sure you want to go in second seat again? i hear you're a pretty fair pilot. yeah, too many pilots, not enough birds. anything to keep me flying at this point. -if you want me, i'm yours, boomer. uh, no. boomer was... she was someone else. listen up! -we need a call sign for lieutenant agathon. chrome dome! titania. wind-up toy. tin can. -microchick. how about athena? digital... wait, wait, wait. what was that? -you know, the goddess of wisdom and war. usually accompanied by the goddess of victory. (man) she likes it. athena it is. (kat) hey, colonel! -colonel, come have a seat. over here. enough of that to go around? always. dead man's chest - a cut-throat game. -not usually your style. it is now. and i'm in it to win. if you don't like it, find another game. there's some straight talk. -have you seen the line-up outside the head? 15 civilians standing in line, picking their noses, waiting to take a shower. frakking civilians think they run the ship. beats what we had - it was like a tomb. if you want to know what alone feels like, spend a few weeks in a cylon holding cell. -yeah, it was a bitch on both sides. it wasn't easy coming up with a plan to save your sorry butts. yeah, you guys had it rough, huh? hot showers, three squares a day, viper jocks didn't even take a shot till you jumped into orbit. -we all made sacrifices. is that so? yes, that's right. while you were pinning wings on your cylon girlfriend, our people were strapping home-made bombs to their chests, doing whatever they could to take the bastards out. so forgive me if i don't get all misty over your sacrifices. -you seem distracted, gaius. do i? you can rest easy, at least for now. the data on earth's location and your valiant rescue of the baby... has gone a long way toward impressing the others. i used to think you and i would have a baby one day. -there are 12 cylon models. in the entire occupation on new caprica, i saw seven. now here, again, the same seven. who are the final five? i can't talk about that. -can't or won't? i can't. it's complicated, but we don't talk about them. ever. but you'd know one of them, wouldn't you? -if they were to walk past here... six, we have a problem. a baseship - the one we sent to investigate the pulsars and lion nebula. we've lost contact. the trouble is we know almost nothing about the ship's status. -we received a garbled distress call, then silence. unsurprisingly, their hybrid sent us confusing data. our hybrid is analysing it. what are the hybrids he's talking about? be quiet, gaius. -(number eight) our hybrid's deciphered part of the data we received. (doral) this is impossible. (simon) it may have been inevitable once we took human form. (doral) we're not human. we're not like him. -(simon) god has chosen this time to test us. whether we fail or pass the test is up to us. what's going on? the missing baseship. it's been infected with some kind of disease. -disease? yes, it's killing them. all of them. if an infected cylon dies and carries this into a resurrection ship, it could rapidly spread, potentially infecting our entire race. make sure the resurrection ship is out of range then send in centurions to... -no. the data indicates that as soon as a hybrid was infected, the centurions started shutting down. i assume our raiders and baseships are also susceptible. of course. we are all created from the same genetic pool. -then no cylon can board that ship without risk of infection. say you'll go aboard the infected baseship and investigate what happened. you sent them to that nebula, remember? are you mad? you have to prove to them you can be counted on in an emergency. -show them you're worth keeping alive. what if i catch the disease? what are the chances that a human... could catch something that infects a centurion or a raider? that is, if you're human. and if you're really a cylon -... one of the final five you haven't seen yet -... then wouldn't you just rather get it over with and die? -i'll go. what? yes, i'll go. look, i am a trained scientist. i can go to the baseship. -i can make observations about their condition, bring back information about this disease. if we land, the disease killing the human cylons could infect one of our raiders. then don't send a raider. surely the war's furbished you with some colonial vessels. he's right. -we could program one of our raptors to approach on autopilot. all right, then. prepare to jump the ship. make sure the resurrection ship stays. a truly selfless act. -i could use a refill here. (hotdog) here. here's to knowing that somebody will always have your back. the sentiment's good, but, in my book, trust is an overrated commodity. mm. -that one, i'll drink to. frak you guys. what is your problem, katraine? my problem is you, captain. all this us-against-them crap. -(starbuck) truth hurts. give me another. why don't you take it out on the cylons? we busted our ass to get you back. you think that means anything? -every colonist that landed on new caprica was loyal, to a point. it was amazing watching those people you thought you knew go over to the cylons. at least we knew where we stood. is that so? then how come you are off flight duty... and some cylon lover is holding down my post? -don't kid yourselves. you're on your own in life, each and every one of us. why don't you tell that to the pilots that died getting you off that rock? gaeta's briefing sharon and racetrack on the mission to the pulsars. you mean athena and racetrack. -word travels fast. yes, it does. i understand that morale's taken a hit on the flight deck. nothing we can't handle, sir. i'm also told that colonel tigh is spending a lot of time down the pilots' rec room. -him and starbuck. they've been holding court, second-guessing the rescue, bad-mouthing the crew that stayed up. if you weren't on the ground, it's like you can't be trusted. and people are listening? their word carries a lot of weight. -you're right. they're destroying morale and unit cohesion. they both know better. i don't think they care, sir. (woman) two protons at each coupling site creates a force. -the embryo becomes a fish that we don't enter. we're here to experience the evolving little toe. atrophy. don't ask how. i'll be dead in a thousand light years. -thank you. genesis turns to its source. reduction occurs stepwise so the essence is all one. end of line. ftl system check, functions within parameters repeats the harlequin. -the agony, exquisite. the colours run the path of ashes. neuronal network by the 52% of heat exchanger, cross-collateralised with matrix. upper senses repair order. relay to zero zero zero zero... -(baltar) is it aware of us? (number six) she's aware of everything. (woman) new paragraph. pancreatic fluid at one with the continuum of evolution. we're here to experience. -evolve the toe. reduction occurs stepwise, so the essence is all one. full stop. new paragraph. do you have any idea what it's talking about? -no. most cylons think the conscious mind of the hybrid has simply gone mad, and the vocalisations we hear are meaningless. but not everyone thinks that. the ones you know as leoben... believe that every word out of her mouth means something, that god literally speaks to us through her. (baltar) she sort of controls the ship, does she? -(number six) she is the baseship in a very real sense. mind gone mad. she experiences life very differently than we do, gaius. she swims in the heavens. laughs at stars, breathes in cosmic dust. -maybe leoben's right. maybe she does see god. we're wasting time. jump. (woman gasps for breath) -there are bodies everywhere, others dying. what the hell is that? definitely man-made. (woman gasps for breath) you're severely dehydrated. -you must drink water. kill me. there is no resurrection ship nearby. you will not be downloaded into a new body, you will just be gone. i saw how they died. -please. please, i can't bear that. i'm here to bring help. all right? i'm just going to take some blood samples for analysis on the baseship, and then we will be able to make a treatment for the disease. -you must breathe, please. please, take some water. you're... you're from galactica. no, i'm from a baseship. tell me, do you know what this is? -we found it floating at these coordinates. it must be some kind of... beacon or marker. it looks too old. it looks very old. must have been left by the thirteenth tribe. -infected, poisoned, left by some humans like you to destroy us. a human device, filled with a pestilence. you sent us to this place. it wasn't me. you knew we'd bring it aboard. -you don't know what you're saying. this is the disease speaking through you. calm down. i am going to bring help. you knew it was here. -you wanted other baseships to follow. i would never hurt you. you wanted the other baseships to know it was here. be quiet. suffer the same infection. -be quiet! i'm going to bring help. you want to destroy us all! you'll lie. shut up! -you'll lie to them. i know. it's your fault. shut up! be quiet. shut up! -shut up. shut up! (doral) gaius, do you hear us? gaius, do you read? do you read? -are any of them alive? what do you see? speak to us. what do you see? are any of them alive? -this is gaius baltar. i'm returning to the baseship. (doral) what do you see? i've seen nothing. nothing of consequence. -there's nothing left to do here. nobody likes it, but we have to make a terrible choice. do we attempt a rescue? risk the lives of our fleet, even our species, or do we leave them? there's no cure in science. -there has to be. look at them. they're so afraid. even the humans don't abandon their own. (leoben) they must be sacrificed. -(simon) there is a question. yes, there is. how did this happen? (doral) it's baltar. he led us there deliberately. -he's been working with galactica the whole time. it wasn't me. whatever you think i did, i didn't do it, honestly. baltar, we followed your coordinates, found a disease with no treatment or cure. if we leave, they're doomed, never to return. -perhaps god would smile upon us for our mercy. listen to you. you can barely even speak his name. we have to agree. we are not abandoning our brothers and sisters. -(all speak at once) we have to leave them. we have to jump and leave them to their fate. there is no other way. (screams)... -(screams echo) mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo and love no more. end of line. the hybrid objects. she doesn't get a vote. -jump the ship. jump. this disease... it must have come from someplace. so what did you notice on the ship? (baltar) nothing. -i am just as baffled as you are. you noticed nothing suspicious on the infected ship? (baltar) nothing whatsoever. (man) admiral on deck. (tigh) admiral. -give me the room. stay in your seats. (tigh) have a drink. give me your side arm. what? -your side arm. (tigh) hey, there's a live round in that. now one of you - i don't care who -... pick that weapon up and shoot me. admiral, i don't know... i didn't say to talk. -you've done enough of that already. i said to pick up that weapon and shoot. what's the matter? no guts? you don't got a pair? -you're both frakking cowards. watch your mouth. or what? you're going to turn the rest of my pilots against each other? poison the crew? -you've already done that, saul. both of you. yeah, well, if you're looking for an apology, it isn't gonna happen. you were like a daughter to me once. no more. -you're a malcontent and a cancer, and i won't have you on my ship. so you have a choice. you can figure out how to become a human being again and an officer, or you can find another place to live, off of this ship. you're dismissed. are you gonna kick me out of my chair too? -i know you've been through a lot. don't patronise me. say what you came here to say. you're full of bile, hatred, and i know that has something to do with ellen. i'm sorry for that. if you need time, saul, you take all the time you want. -but i've got to run a ship. the last thing i need is a one-eyed drunk sitting down here, sowing discontent and disobedience. so i'll tell you once again, saul, you can pick up that weapon and kill me, or you can get your ass back into your quarters and not leave... till you're ready to act like the man that i've known for the past 30 years. that man doesn't exist any more, bill. and you won't be seeing me again. -oh, my gods! it's right there. the lion's head nebula and the blinking eye! holy crap! it's the road to earth. -(laughs) oh, my gods! let's get the frak out of here. i'll start the jump. when god's anger awakens, even the mighty shall fall. -frak, athena, we need to get out of here! blah-ba-bloo-ba... he's doing it again. thanks. (laughs) -previously on battlestar galactica... i, sharon agathon, will carry out the lawful orders of my superiors as an officer in the colonial fleet. congratulations, lieutenant. we're talking about people blowing themselves up. i got one job here, lady, and one job only... to disrupt the cylons. -make them worry about this anthill they've stirred up down here, so they're distracted and out of position when the old man shows up in orbit. you know the mission. you should also know there's only one way that this mission ends. and that's with the successful rescue of our people off of new caprica. evacuate the entire facility. -you should go as well, gaius. there's a place for you too. captain ? hi. who's this ? -this is kacey. oh, my little girl. when the cylons took her, i thought... but you saved her. gods bless you. -a lot of good people had to pay the price for what they did. choices they made on new caprica. like my wife. that's right, ellen collaborated. -gave the cylons information on the resistance and she died for it. i can't believe there's still a question of my value. there will always be a question. you're human. good to see you. -i far prefer these picturesque settings for our interludes. don't you ? i thought you had abandoned me to your cylon comrades. would i do that ? you've always been more unpredictable than your flesh and blood counterparts. -a man that loves women as much as you should have learned that a long time ago. i'm a slow learner. then take this period as a time to learn all you can about the cylons. you'll need it in the days ahead. something special on the horizon ? -cylon psychology is based on projection. projection ? it's how they choose to see the world around them. the only difference is you choose to see me. what are you ? -really ? you're either connected to the woman i knew on caprica... or you're a damaged part of my subconscious struggling for self-expression. so which one is it ? i'm an angel of god sent here to help you. just as i always have been. -we're all part of one big ecosystem. yes, i can feel it... ... breathing. get used to it. so, what'd he say ? -i haven't asked him yet. asked me about what ? earth. what... earth, it's the 13th colony. -do you know how to find it ? not really, no. well, that's unfortunate. there was a hope, my hope... that if you knew the way to earth, it would justify keeping you alive a little longer. come on, six. -wait. wait, wait ! now when i say that i do not know exactly where earth is, that is not to say that i do not know a very great deal about its probable location. honestly, i spent hours, days, weeks, months and months on a map that adama and roslin found on kobol. and i correlated that with astrometric observations. -i doubt anyone here can make the same claim. we'll get back to you. what do you care about finding earth ? because we're looking for it. you are ? -yes, we've decided that earth's going to be our new home. battlestar galactica season 3 episode 6 " torn " subtitles - =( team lords of kobol )= - -synchro : dapitch666, goufrach, lovechange, nikomagnus =( team lords of kobol )= - resynchro hdtv alexandre ship-to-ship training exercise is authorized. you may commence when ready. -this is apollo. red team set. blue team set. red team, apollo. as soon as we clear the moon, we're gonna be on their dradis, so keep your eyes up. -they're gonna hit us with everything they got. stay in formation, starbuck. narcho, you're my wingman. blue team, kat. let's show these lazy fraks how it's done. -red team, starbuck. i got hotdog. i'm hit ! red team, apollo. i'm going after kat. -got you. you're gonna have to do better than that, apollo. come on. i'll take care of kat. starbuck, you stay in formation. -narcho has kat. inbound. starbuck, you're too close ! frak ! compressor blew. -looks like it threw a blade. severed the fuel line. cally, check the tank. gods, it's something. the tank's bone dry. -there's not even fumes in here. captain, how'd you land this thing ? pointed it toward the deck and stopped when i got here. bone dry, she says. landed the bird without a drop of fuel. -if you want to die, i will open up an airlock for you. but you are not taking one of my vipers with you. the bird's on the deck. i'm on the deck. -i don't know what you're bitching about. i don't give a frak what you're doing, starbuck, you're done flying. i can't believe you did that to me. what ? don't look at me like that. -oh, my gods. ellen ? ellen ? excuse me. hey, make a hole. -ellen. if i've told you once, i've told you 1,000 times... ellen, i'm right here. what is this ? let go of me. -kara, kara ! kacey ? kara, kara. captain thrace ? i'm sorry, don't you remember me ? -i'm julia prynne. i'm kacey's mom. yeah, i remember. give me a hug. we've been staying over in the... everyone's calling it camp oil slick. -part of the hangar deck. and they've put up cots for, you know, refugees. yeah, i heard. well, kacey's been asking to see you for days. i sent messages. -i thought maybe you'd come for a visit. you seem like a really nice person, so i'm gonna be honest with you. the last thing i need is a two-year-old friend. and kacey sure as hell does not need me in her life, so do us both a favor and do not bring her around here again, okay ? go to your mom, kase. -sure. sorry, don't let us keep you up. sorry, honey, we gotta go. there it goes. that's it. -see ? see, i told you could do it. you did great. remind me never... ... to let that happen again. -you got it, slim. ever. i've been trying to reassemble president bal... dr. baltar's work on piecing together the 13th tribe's path to earth. i'm curious, mr. -gaeta, what is it that you trust about dr. baltar's research ? how do you know it's not another one of his lies ? if there was one thing i learned about baltar, it was his extraordinary capacity for self-preservation. i think he wanted to find earth because he wanted to get there. -how far did he get with his research ? well, as you can see, i'm still hacking through his notes. but it appears that he was trying to correlate our own astrometric readings with the map of constellations that we found back on kobol, and apply his findings to certain select passages within the scroll of pythia. why the scroll of pythia ? pythia is supposed to have chronicled the original journey of the 13th tribe on its way to earth. -look at this passage. "and the caravan of the heavens was watched over by a great lion with a mighty blinking eye, red and blue." exactly. exactly what ? you're looking for a lion's head ? -with a mighty blinking eye. blinking. well, they're scrolls. they speak in metaphors. initially, i thought the doctor might be off his meds as well, sir. -but then i found this note, here, where he had written "blinking equals pulsar." that means a star, right ? plural, actually. they're the rotating cores of dead stars. they emit a blast of radio waves. -from a distance, they appear to... ... blink. right. the doctor found two in very close mutual orbit within this sector. the spectrographic readings that i found show one will appear to be red, and one will appear to be blue. -now... these pulsars appear to be in this nebula. we have never had a direct look at this area. but it is possible with a couple of eyeballs out there, they might look at the nebula and see a giant lion's head. well, it looks like this is the best thing we've got going, so, unless you object, admiral, i suggest we go to lion hunting. -the navigational markers you gave us may prove useful. they sent a base ship out to investigate the pulsars, and look for this lion's head of yours. look, this isn't easy for me. i don't think you fully appreciate just how difficult this is. i have very conflicted, very ambiguous feelings about helping you find earth. -funny how all that ambivalence and conflict seemed to vanish once you thought your life hung in the balance. you should know there's still a lot of skepticism about whether you're being entirely truthful. i'm very sorry. we didn't mean to intrude. come on, gaius. -are we going 'round in circles ? i'm sure it all looks the same to you, doesn't it ? be hard for any human to navigate around here. especially without projecting. yes, you've used that word before. -i'm not... quite sure what you're talking about. it helps you to what, exactly ? have you ever daydreamed... and imagined that you were somewhere else ? i do have an active imagination. well, we don't have to imagine. -we project. we choose to see our environment in any form we wish, whenever we wish. for instance, right now you see us as standing in a hallway, but i see it as a forest. filled with trees, birds, sunlight. like the walks that you and i used to take on caprica. -the aesthetic is what gives me pleasure. not the specific memories. instead of staring at blank walls, i choose to surround myself with a vision of god's creation. right, i think i understand projection, but it's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it that i could see such a vivid reality that i've created and the cylon projection experience seems to be so similar ? is it a coincidence ? -well, what are you saying ? there's a connection ? what, because of my experiences with you... am i a cylon ? what was that ? -oh, nothing. just talking out loud. silly me. so you sure you want to go in the second seat again ? i mean, i hear you're a pretty fair pilot now. -well, too many pilots, not enough birds. anything to keep me flying, at this point. you want me, i'm yours, boomer. uh, no, boomer was... she was someone else. -listen up. we need a call sign for lieutenant agathon. chrome dome. titanium. carburetor. -wind-up toy tin can toaster babe. transistor. how 'bout athena? -digital dame. wait ! what was that ? you know, the goddess of wisdom and war. usually accompanied by the goddess of victory. -that works out. i like it. athena it is. so say we all ! hey, colonel ! -colonel, come have a seat. over here. enough of that to go around ? always. dead man's chest cut-throat game. -not usually your style. it is now. and i'm in it to win. you don't like it, find another game. oh, there's some straight talk. -seen the line up outside the head ? 15 civilians standing in line picking their noses, and waiting to take a shower. frakin' civilians think they run the ship now. beats what we had before. the ship was like a tomb. -you want to know what alone feels like, try spending a few weeks in a cylon holding cell. yeah. it was a bitch on both sides. and it wasn't exactly easy coming up with a plan to save your sorry butts. you guys had it rough, huh ? -hot showers, three squares a day. viper jocks didn't even take a shot till you jumped into orbit. we all made sacrifices. is that so ? yes, that's right. -while you were pinning wings on your cylon girlfriend, our people were strapping homemade bombs to their chests, doing whatever they could to take the bastards out. so forgive me if i don't get all misty over your sacrifices. you seem distracted, gaius. do i ? you can rest easy, at least for now. -the data on earth's location and your valiant rescue of the baby has gone a long way toward impressing the others. i used to think you and i would have a baby one day. there are only 12 cylon models. but in the entire occupation on new caprica, i only saw seven. now here again, the same seven. -who are the final five ? i can't talk about that. can't or won't ? i can't. it's complicated, but we don't talk about them. -ever. but you'd know one of them, wouldn't you if you saw one of the final five. if they were to walk past here... six, we have a problem. a baseship. -the one we sent to investigate the pulsars in the lion nebula. we've lost contact. the trouble is we know almost nothing about the missing baseship's status. we received a garbled distress call, then silence. not surprisingly, their hybrid sent us a confusing set of data. -our hybrid is analyzing it. what are these hybrids he's talking about ? be quiet, gaius. our hybrid's deciphered part of the data that we received from our scout ship. -this can't happen to us. it's impossible. it is not only possible, it may have been inevitable, once we took human form. we're not human. we're not like him. -god has chosen this time, this place, to test us. whether we fail or pass the test is up to us. what's going on ? the missing baseship, it's been infected by some kind of disease. disease ? -yes, it's killing them. all of them. if an infected cylon dies, and carries this disease into a resurrection ship, it could rapidly spread. potentially infecting our entire race. we make sure that the resurrection ship is out of range. -then we jump to their location. send in a group of centurions-- no. as soon as the hybrid was infected, the centurions started shutting down. we don't know how ours are gonna be affected. -i assume our raiders and baseships are also susceptible. of course. we are all created from the same genetic pool. then no cylon can board that ship without risking infection. say you'll go aboard the infected baseship, and investigate what happened. -you sent them to that nebula. remember ? are you mad ? you have to prove to them you can be counted on in an emergency. show them you're worth keeping alive. -and what if i catch the disease ? what are the chances that a human could catch something that infects a centurion or a raider ? that is, if you're human. and if you're really a cylon one of the final five you haven't seen yet wouldn't you rather just get it over with and die ? i'll go. -what ? yes, i'll go. look, i am a trained scientist. i can go to the baseship. i can make observations about the cylons. -their physical condition. bring back information about this disease, which now threatens all of you. we've learned the disease that's killing the human cylons could infect one of our raiders as well. then don't send a raider. surely the war's furbished you with some colonial vessels. -he's right. we could program one of our raptors to approach on autopilot. all right, then prepare to jump the ship. make sure the resurrection ship knows to stay behind, out of range. a truly selfless act. -i could use a refill here. here. here's to knowing... that somebody will always have your back. yeah. the sentiment's right, but in my book, trust is an overrated commodity. -mmm, that one i'll drink to. frak you guys. what is your problem, katraine ? my problem is you, captain. and all this us against them crap. -truth hurts, doesn't it ? gimme another one. you know what ? whatever happened to you down there, why don't you take it out on the cylons, 'cause we busted our ass to get you off that rock. -do you think that means anything ? every colonist that landed on new caprica was loyal, to a point. it was amazing watching those people that you thought you knew go over to the cylons. at least in the end, we knew where we stood, huh ? is that so ? -then how come you are off flight duty, and some cylon lover is holding down my post ? don't kid yourselves. you're on your own in this life. each and every one of us. why don't you tell that to the pilots that died getting you off that rock ? -and gaeta's briefing sharon and racetrack on the scouting mission to the pulsars. you mean athena and racetrack. word travels fast. yes, it does. i understand that morale's taken a hit on the flight deck. -nothing we can't handle, sir. i'm also told that colonel tigh is spending a lot of time down in the pilots' rec room. both him and starbuck, sir. they've been holding court. second-guessing the rescue, bad-mouthing the crew that stayed up with galactica. -suddenly, if you weren't in the ground war, it's like you can't be trusted. people are listening. their word carries a lot of weight. you're right, they're destroying morale and unit cohesion. they both know better. -i don't think they care, sir. two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force. the embryo becomes a fish that we don't enter until a plate. we're here to experience, evolve the little toe. atrophy. -don't ask me how. i'll be dead in 1,000 light years. thank you. thank you. genesis turns to its source. -reduction occurs step-wise, though the essence is all one. end of line. after your system check, diagnostic functions within parameters, repeats the harlequin. the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes. on the network, 52% of heat exchanger, cross-collateralized with hyperdimensional matrix. -upper senses repair ordered. relay to zero, zero, zero, zero... is it aware of us ?

no. -most cylons think the conscious mind of the hybrid has simply gone mad, and the vocalizations we hear are meaningless. but not everyone thinks that. the ones you know as leoben believe that every word out of her mouth means something. that god literally speaks to us through her. she sort of controls the baseship, does she ? -she is the baseship, in a very real sense. mind gone mad. she experiences life very differently than we do, gaius. she swims in the heavens... laughs at stars, breathes in cosmic dust. maybe leoben's right. -maybe she does see god. we're wasting time. ... they cry for succor in the dark of the light. jump-- there are bodies everywhere. -others dying. what the hell's that ? definitely man-made. you're severely dehydrated. you must drink some water. -kill me. you don't understand. there is no resurrection ship nearby. you will not be downloaded into a new body. you will just be gone. -i saw how they died. please-- please, i can't bear that. i'm here to bring help. all right ? i'm just gonna take some blood samples for analysis on the baseship. -and then we will be able to make a treatment for the disease. you must breathe, please. please take some water. you're-- you're from galactica. no, -i'm from a baseship. tell me... do you know what this is ? we found it floating at these coordinates. must be some kind of... beacon... -or marker. it looks too old. it looks very old. must've been left by the 13th tribe. it was infected, poisoned. -left by some humans like you to destroy us. what ? a human device filled with a pestilence. you sent us to this place. it wasn't me. -you know we'd bring it aboard. you don't know what you're saying. this is the disease speaking through you. calm down. i am going to bring help. -you knew it was here. you and the other baseships i would never do anything to hurt you. you and the other baseships knew it was here. be quiet. -be quiet. be quiet. i am going to bring help. you want to destroy us all. it's your fault ! -you lie to them. shut up ! you lie to them. you want to destroy us all. shut up ! -be quiet ! shut up ! shut up ! gaius, do you hear us ? gaius, do you read ? -are any of them alive ? gaius baltar. what do you see ? speak to us. what do you see ? -are any of them alive ? this is gaius baltar. i'm returning to the baseship. what do you see ? i see nothing. -nothing of consequence. there's nothing left to do here. nobody likes it, but we have to make a terrible choice. do we attempt a rescue, and risk the lives of our fleet... even our species, or do we leave them ? -the answer won't be found in science, because there's no cure in science. well, there has to be. do we just leave them ? then they're condemned to death. they must be sacrificed for the greater good. -there is a greater question. yes, there is. how did this happen ? baltar. it's baltar, -it's his fault. he led us there deliberately. he's been working with galactica the whole time. it wasn't me. whatever you think i did, i didn't do, honestly ! -we followed your coordinates, and found a disease with no treatment or cure. clearly they're doomed. never to return. perhaps god would smile upon us for our mercy. oh, listen to you. -you can barely even speak his name. we have to leave them. we have to jump, and leave them to their fate. there is no other way. mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo, and love no more. -end of line. the hybrid objects. she doesn't get a vote. jump the ship. jump. -this disease... it must've come from someplace. so what did you notice on the infected ship ? nothing. nothing. -i am just as baffled as you are. you noticed nothing suspicious on the infected ship ? nothing whatsoever. admiral on deck. admiral. -give me the room. stay in your seat. have a drink ? give me your sidearm. what ? -your sidearm. hey, there's a live round in that. now one of you, and i don't care who, pick that weapon up and shoot me. admiral, i don't know-- i didn't say to talk. -you've done enough of that already. i said to pick up that weapon, and shoot. what's the matter ? no guts ? you don't got a pair ? -you're both frakking cowards. watch your mouth. or what ? you going to turn the rest of my pilots against each other ? poison the crew ? -you've already done that, saul. both of you. yeah, well, if you're looking for an apology, it isn't gonna happen. you were like a daughter to me once. no more. -you're malcontented, and a cancer. and i won't have you on my ship. so you have a choice. you figure out how to become a human being again, and an officer, or you can find another place to live. off of this ship. -you're dismissed. are you gonna kick me out of my chair too ?

i'm an angel of god, sent here to help you just as i always have been we're all part of one big ecosystem yes, i can feel it... -breathing get used to it so, what'd he say? i haven't asked him yet asked me about what? -earth what-uh... earth. it's the 13th colony do you know how to find it? not really, no -well, that's unfortunate there was a hope, my hope, that if you knew the way to earth, it would justify keeping you alive a little longer come on, six wait. wait, wait! -now when i say that i do not know exactly where earth is, that is not to say that i do not know a very great deal about its probably location honestly, i spent hours, days, weeks, months and months on a map that adama and roslin found on kobol and i correlated that with astrometric observations i doubt anyone here can make the same claim we'll get back to you -what do you care about finding earth? because we're looking for it you are? yes, we've decided that earth's going to be our new home battlestar galactica 3x06 torn -ship-to-ship training exercise is authorized you may commence when ready this is apollo. red team set blue team set -red team, apollo as soon as we clear the moon, we're gonna be on their dradis, so keep your eyes up they're gonna hit us with everything they got stay in formation, starbuck narcho, you're my wingman -blue team, kat let's show these lazy frak show it's done red team, starbuck i got hotdog i'm hit! -red team, apollo. i'm going after kat got you you're gonna have to do better than that, apollo come on -i'll take care of kat starbuck, you stay in formation narcho has kat inbound let me show you how it's done -frak! compressor blew. looks like it threw a blade severed the fuel line. cally, check the tank -gods the tank's bone dry. there's not even fumes in here captain, how'd you land this thing? pointed it toward the deck, and stopped when i got here -bone dry, she says landed the bird without a drop of fuel if you want to die, i will open up an airlock for you but you are not taking one of my vipers with you the bird's on the deck i'm on the deck -i don't know what you're bitching about i don't give a frak what you so, starbuck, you're done flying i can't believe yo made that to me what? don't look at me like that oh, my gods -ellen? ellen? excuse me hey, make a hole ellen -if i've told you once, i've told you 1,000 times... ellen, i'm right here what is this? let go of me kara, kara! -kacey? kara, kara captain thrace? i'm sorry, don't you remember me? i'm julia prynne. -i'm kacey's mom yeah. yeah, i remember give me a hug we've been staying over in the... -well, everyone's calling it camp oil slick part of the hangar deck and they've put up cots for, you know, refugees yeah, i heard well, kacey's been asking to see you for days -i sent messages i thought maybe you'd come for a visit you seem like a really nice person so i'm gonna be honest with you the last thing i need is a two-year-old friend and kacey sure as hell does not need me in her life, so do us both a favor, and do not bring her around here again, okay? -go to your mom, kacey sure sorry, don't let us keep you up sorry, honey, we gotta go there is goes -that's it see? see, i told you. you could do it you did great -remind me never to let that happen again you got it some ever i've been trying to reassemble president bal... dr. baltar's work on piecing together the 13th tribe's path to earth -i'm curious, mr.gaeta what is it that you trust about dr. baltar's research? how do you know it's not another one of his lies? if there was one thing i learned about baltar it was his extraordinary capacity for self-preservation i think he wanted to find earth because he wanted to get there -how far did he get with his research? well, as you can see, i'm still hacking through his notes but it appears that he was trying to correlate our own astrometric readings with the map of constellations that we found back on kobol and apply his findings to certain select passages within the scroll of pythia why the scroll of pythia? pythia is supposed to have chronicled the original journey of the 13th tribe on its way to earth -if i can craw your attention to this passage "and the caravan of the heavens was watched over by a great lion" "with a mighty blinking eye," red and blue" exactly -exactly what? you're looking for a lion's head? with a mighty blinking eye blinking well, they're scrolls they speak in metaphors -initially, i thought the doctor might be off his meds as well, sir but then i found this note here, where he had written "blinking equals pulsar" that means a star, right? uh, plural, actually they're the rotating cores of dead stars -the emit a blast of radio waves from a distance, they appear to... blink right the doctor found two in very close mutual orbit within this sector -the spectrographic readings that i found show one will appear to be red, and one will appear to be blue now... these pulsars appear to be in this nebula we have never had a direct look at this area but it is possible, with a couple of eyeballs out there, they might lookat the nebula and see... a giant lion's head well, it looks like this is the best thing we've got going, so, unless you object, admiral, i suggest we go lion hunting -the navigational markers you gave us may prove useful they sent a base ship out to investigate the pulsars, and look for this lion's head of yours look, this isn't easy for me i don't think you fully appreciate just how difficult this is i have very conflicted, very ambiguous feelings about helping you find earth -funny how all that ambivalence and conflict seemed to vanish once you thought your life hung in the balance you should know there's still a lot of skepticism about whether you're being entirely truthful i'm very sorry we didn't mean to intrude come on, gaius -are we going 'rounding circles? i'm sure it all looks the same to you, doesn't it? be hard for any human to navigate around here especially without projecting yes, you've used that word before -i'm not quite sure what you're talking about it helps you to what, exactly? have you everday dreamed... and imagined that you were somewhere else? i do, have an active imagination well, we don't have to imagine -we project we choose to see our environment in any form we wish, whenever we wish for instance, right now you see us as standing in a hallway, but i see it as a forest filled with trees, birds, sunlight like the walks that you and i used to take -on caprica the aesthetic is what gives me pleasure not the specific memories instead of staring at blank walls, i choose to surround myself with a vision of god's creation -now i understand projection,but isn't it a coincidence that i could see such a vivid reality that i've created, and the cylon projection experience seems to be so similar? is it a coincidence? well, what are you saying? there's a connection? what, because of my experiences with you... am i a cylon? -what was that? oh, nothing. just talking out loud silly me so you sure you want to go in the second seat again? -i mean, i hear you're a pretty fair pilot now well, too many pilots, not enough birds anything to keep me flying, at this point you want me, i'm yours, boomer uh, no, boomer was... -she was someone else listen up we need a new call sign for lieutenant agathon chrome dome titanian -wind-up toy... tin can... toaster babe how 'bout athena? wait, wait, wait, wait -what was that? you know, the goddess of wisdom and war usually accompanied by the goddess of victory athena it is hey, colonel! -colonel, come have a seat over here enough of thatto go around? always oh,yeah -dead man's chest-cut-throat game not usually your style it is now and i'm in it to win you don't like it, find another game -oh, there's some straight talk have you seen the line up outside the head? 15 civilians standing in line picking their noses and waiting to take a shower frakin' civilians think they run the ship now beats what we had before the ship was like a tomb -you want to know what alone feels like try spending a few weeks in a cylon holding cell yeah, it was a bitch on both sides and it wasn't exactly easy coming up with a plan to save your sorry butts you guys had it rough, huh? hot showers, three squares a day viper jocks didn't even take a shot till you jumped into orbit -hey... we all made sacrifices is that so? yes, that's right while you were pinning wings on your cylon girlfriend, and our people were strapping home made bombs to their chests, doing whatever they could to take the bastards out so forgive me if i don't get all misty over your sacrifices -you seem distracted, gaius do i? you can rest easy, at least for now the data on earth's location in your valiant rescue of the baby has gone a long way to ward impressing the others i used to think you and i would have a baby one day -there are only 12 cylon models but in the entire occupation on new caprica, i only saw seven now here again, the same seven who are the final five? i can't talk about that -can't or won't? i can't it's complicated, but we don't talk about them ever but you'd know one of them, wouldn't you, if you saw them? -one of the final five. if they were to walk past here right... six, we have a problem a bay ship the one we sent to investigate the pulsars in the lion nebula -we've lost contact the trouble is we know almost nothing about the missing bay ship's status we received a garbled distress call, then silence not surprisingly, their hybrid sent us a confusing set of data our hybridis analyzing it -what are these hybrid she's talking about? be quiet, gaius our hybrid's deciphered part of the data set that we received from our scout ship this can't happen to us. it's impossible -it is not only possible, it may have been inevitable once we took human form we're not human we're not like him god has chosen this time, this place, to test us whether we fail or pass the test is up to us -what's going on? the missing baseship, it's been infected by some kind of disease disease? yes, it's killing them all of them -if an infected cylon dies and carries this disease with them into a resurrection ship it could rapidly spread. potentially infecting our entire race all right, we make sure that the resurrection ship is out of range then we jumpto their location send in a group of centurions... -no. the data set indicates that as soon as the hybrid was infected,the centurions started shutting down we don't know how ours are gonna be affected i assume our raiders and baseships are also susceptible of course -we are all created from the same genetic pool then no cylon can board that ship without risking infection say you'll go aboard the infected baseship, and investigate what happened you sent them to that nebula. remember? -are you mad? you have to prove to them you can be counted on in an emergency show them you're worth keeping alive and what if i catch the disease? what are the chances that a human could catch something that infects a centurion or a raider? -that is, if you're human and if you're really a cylon... one of the final five you haven't seen yet... wouldn't you rather just get it over with and die? okay what? yes, i'll go -look, i am a trained scientist i can go to the baseship i can make observations about the cylons their physical condition bring back information about this disease, which now threaten sail of you -we've learned the disease that's killing the human cylons could infect one of our raiders as well then don't send a raider surely the war's furbished you get some... colonial vessels he's right. we could program one of our raptors to approach on autopilot all right, then prepare to jump the ship -make sure there resurrection knows they have to stay out of range a truly selfless act i could use a refill here here here's to knowing... that somebody will always have your back the sentiment's right, but in my book, trust is an overrated commodity -mmm, that one i'll drink to frak you guys what is your problem, katraine? my problem is you, captain and all this us against them crap -truth hurts, doesn't it? gimme another one you know what, starbuck? whatever happened to you down there why don't you take it out on the cylons, 'cause we busted our ass to get you off that rock do you think that means anything? -every colonist that landed on new caprica was loyal, to a point it was amazing watching those people that you thought you knew go over to the cylons at least in the end, we knew where we stood, huh? is that so? then how come you are off flight duty and some cylon lover is holding down my post? -don't kid yourselves you're on your own in this life each and every one of us why don't you tell that to the pilots that died getting you off that rock? and gaeta's briefing sharon and racetrack on the scouting mission to the pulsars -you mean athena and racetrack word travels fast yes, it does i understand that morale's taken a hit on the flight deck nothing we can't handle, sir -i'm also told that colonel tigh is spending a lot of timed own in the pilots' rec room both him and starbuck, sir they've been holding court second-guessing the rescue, bad-mouthing the crew that stayed up with galactica suddenly, if you weren't in the ground war, it's like you can't be trusted -people are listening your word carries a lot of weight you're right, they're destroying morale and unit cohesion they both know better i don't think they care, sir -two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force the embryo becomes a fish that we don't enter until a plate we're here to experience, evolve the little toe atrophy. don't ask me how -i'll be dead in 1,000 light years thank you genesis turns to its source reduction occurs step-wise, though the essence is all one end of line -after your system check, diagnostic functions within parameters, repeats the harlequin the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes is it aware of us? of course she's aware of everything aboard -new paragraph do you have any idea what it's talking about? no most cylons think the conscious mind of the hybrid has simply gone mad, and the vocalizations we hear are meaningless but not everyone thinks that -the ones you know as leoben believe that every word out of her mouth means something that god literally speaks to us through her she sort of controls the baseship, does she? she is the baseship, in a very real sense mind gone mad -she experiences life very differently than we do, gaius she swims in the heavens... laughs at stars, breathes in cosmic dust maybe leoben's right maybe she does see god we're wasting time -jump... there are bodies everywhere they're dying what the hell is that? definitely man-made -you're severely dehydrated you must drink some water kill me you don't understand. there is no resurrection ship nearby -you will not be downloaded into a new body you will just be gone i saw how they died please... please, i can't bear that i'm here to bring help. -all right? i'm just gonna take some blood samples for analysis on the baseship and then we will be able to make a treatment for the disease just breathe, please please take some water -you're... you're from galactica no, i'm from a baseship tell me... do you know what this is? we found it floating at these coordinates must be some kind of... beacon... -or marker it looks too old it looks very old must've been left by the 13th tribe it was infected, poisoned -left by some humans like you to destroy us what? a human device filled with a pestilence you sent us to this place it wasn't me -you know we'd bring it aboard you don't know what you're saying this is the disease speaking through you. calm down i am going to bring help -i would never do anything to hurt you you and the other baseships knew it was here i am going to bring help be quiet. be quiet -i'm going to bring help you want to destroy us all it's your fault! you lie to them shut up! -you lie to them shut up! be quiet! be quiet! shut up! -be quiet! shut up! you're gonna infect all of us! shut up! gaius, do you hear us? -gaius, do you read? is anyone alive? speak to us what do you see? are any of them alive? -this is gaius baltar i'm returningto the baseship what do you see? i see nothing nothing of consequence -there's nothing left to do here nobody likes it, but we have to make a terrible choice do we attempt a rescue, and risk the lives of our fleet, even our species, or do we leave them? the answer won't be found in science because there's no cure in science well, there has to be. -do we just leave them? then they're condemned to death they must be sacrificed for the greater good there is a greater question yes, there is how did this happen? -it's baltar, of course it's his fault. he led us there deliberately he's been working with galactica the whole time it wasn't me -whatever you think i did, i didn't do, honestly! baltar, we followed your coordinates and found a disease with no treatment or cure clearly they're doomed never to return perhaps god would smile upon us for our mercy -oh, listen to you. you can barely even speak his name we have to leave them we have to jump, and leave them to their fate there is no other way -mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo, and love no more end of line the hybrid objects she doesn't get a vote jump the ship -jump this disease... it must've come from someplace so what did you notice on the infected ship? nothing. nothing -i am just as baffled as you are you noticed nothing suspicious on the infected ship? nothing whatsoever admiral on deck admiral -give me the room stay in your seat have a drink? give me your sidearm what? -your sidearm hey, there's a live rounding that now one of you, and i don't care who, pick that weapon up and shoot me admiral, i don't know i didn't say to talk -you've done enough of that already i said to pick up that weapon, and shoot what's the matter? no guts? you don't got a pair? -you're both frakking cowards watch your mouth or what? you going to turn the rest of my pilots against each other? poison the crew? -you've already done that, saul both of you yeah, well, if you're looking for an apology, it isn't gonna happen you were like a daughter to me once. no more -you're malcontented, and a cancer and i won't have you on my ship so you have a choice you figure out how to become a human being again, and an officer, or you can find another place to live off of this ship -you're dismissed are you gonna kick me out of my chair too? listen, i know you've been through a lot don't patronize me say what you came here to say -you're full of bile, hatred and i know that it has something to do with ellen and i'm sorry for that and if you need time, saul, well, you take all the time you want but i gotta run a ship -the last thing i need is a one-eyed drunk sitting down here sowing discontent, disobedience so i'll tell you once again, saul you can pick up that weapon and kill me... or you can get your ass back into your quarters, and not leave... until you're ready to act like the man that i've known for the past 30 years that man doesn't exist anymore, bill and you won't be seeing me again -oh, my gods, it's right there the lion's head nebula, and the blinking eye holy crap, it's the road to earth oh, my gods let's get the frak out of here -i'll start the jump when god's anger awakens, even the mighty shall fall frak, athena, we need to get out of here! previously on battlestar galactica... i, sharon agathon, will carry out the lawful orders of my superiors as an officer in the colonial fleet. -congratulations, lieutenant. we're talking about people blowing themselves up. i got one job here, lady, and one job only... to disrupt the cylons. make them worry about the anthill they've stirred up down here, so they're distracted and out of position when the old man shows up in orbit. you know the mission. -you should also know there's only one way that this mission ends. and that's with the successful rescue of our people off of new caprica. evacuate the entire facility. you should go as well, gaius. there's a place for you too. -kara ? hi. who's this? this is... kacey ? -oh, my little girl ! when the cylons took her, i thought... but you saved her. gods bless you. a lot of good people had to pay the price for what they did. -choices they made on new caprica. like my wife. that's right, ellen collaborated. gave the cylons information on the resistance, and she died for it. i can't believe there's still a question of my value. -there will always be a question. you're human. good to see you. i far prefer these picturesque settings for our little interludes. don't you ? -i thought you had abandoned me to your cylon comrades. would i do that ? you've always been more unpredictable than your flesh and blood counterparts. a man that loves women as much as you should have learned that a long time ago. i'm a slow learner. -then take this period as a time to learn all you can about the cylons. you'll need it in the days ahead. something special on the horizon ? cylon psychology is based on projection. projection ? -it's how they choose to see the world around them. the only difference with you is you choose to see me. what are you... really ? you're either connected to the woman i knew on caprica... or you're a damaged part of my subconscious struggling for self-expression. so which one is it ? -i'm an angel of god, sent here to help you. just as i always have been. we're all part of one big ecosystem. yes, i can feel it... breathing. get use to it. -so, what'd he say ? i haven't asked him yet. asked me about what ? earth. what...uhm... -earth. it's the 13th colony. do you know how to find it ? not really, no. well, that's unfortunate. -there was a hope... my hope... that if you knew the way to earth, it would justify keeping you alive a little longer. come on, six. wait. wait, wait ! -now when i say that i do not know exactly where earth is, that is not to say that i do not know a very great deal about its probably location. honestly, i spent hours, days, weeks, months and months on a map that adama and roslin found on kobol. and i correlated that with our... astrometric observations. i doubt anyone here can make the same claim. we'll get back to you. -what do you care about finding earth ? because we're looking for it. you are ? yes, we've decided that earth's going to be our new home. broteam presents : -3x06 torn additions, corrections and synchronisation : theama1 ship-to-ship training exercise is authorized. you may commence when ready. -this is apollo. read team set. blue team set. red team apollo. as soon as we clear the moon, we're gonna be on their dradis, so keep your eyes up. -they're gonna hit us with everything they got. stay in formation, starbuck. narcho, you're my wingman. blue team, kat. let's show these lazy fraks how it's done. -red team, starbuck. i got hotdog. i'm hit ! red team, apollo. i'm going after kat. -got you. you're gonna have to do better than that, apollo. come on. i'll take care of kat. starbuck, you stay in formation. -narcho has kat. inbound. starbuck, you're too close ! frak. frak ! -compressor blew. looks like it threw a blade. severed the fuel line. cally, check the tank. gods, this is ugly ! -the tank's bone dry. there's not even fumes in here. captain, how'd you land this thing? pointed it toward the deck, and stopped when i got here. bone dry, she says. -landed the bird without a drop of fuel. if you want to die, i will open up an airlock for you. but you are not taking one of my vipers with you. the bird's on the deck. -i'm on the deck. i don't know what you're bitching about. i don't give a frak what you so, starbuck. you're done flying. can't believe you did that to me ! -what ? don't look at me like that ! oh, my gods. ellen ? ellen ? -excuse me. excuse me. hey, make a hole. ellen. if i've told you once, -i've told you 1,000 times... ellen, i'm right here. what is this ? let go of me ! kara, kara ! -kacey ? kara, kara. captain thrace ? i'm sorry, don't you remember me ? i'm julia prynne. -i'm kacey's mom. yeah. yeah, i remember. give me a hug. we've been staying over in the... -well, everyone's calling it camp oil slick. part of the hangar deck. and they've put up cots for, you know, refugees. yeah, i heard. well, kacey's been asking to see you for days. -i sent messages. i thought maybe you'd come for a visit. you seem like a really nice person, so i'm gonna be honest with you. the last thing i need is a two-year-old friend. and kacey sure as hell does not need me in her life, so do us both a favor, and do not bring her around here again, okay ? -go to your mom, kase. sure. sorry, don't let us keep you up. sorry, honey, we gotta go. there it goes. -that's it. see ? see, i told you you could do it. you did great. remind me never to let that happen again. -you got it, slim ! ever. i've been trying to reassemble president bal... dr. baltar's work on piecing together the 13th tribe's path to earth. -i'm curious, mr. gaeta. what is it that you trust about dr. baltar's research ?

well, as you can see, i'm still hacking through his notes. but it appears that he was trying to correlate our own astrometric readings with the map of constellations that we found back on kobol, and apply his findings to certain select passages within the scroll of pythia. why the scroll of pythia ? -pythia is supposed to have chronicled the original journey of the 13th tribe on its way to earth. if i can draw your attention to this passage. "and the caravan of the heavens "was watched over by a great lion "with a mighty blinking eye, red and blue." -exactly. exactly what ? you're looking for a lion's head ? with a mighty blinking eye. blinking. -well, they're scrolls. they speak in metaphors. initially, i thought the doctor might be off his meds as well, sir. but then i found this note here, where he had written "blinking equals pulsar." that means a star, right ?

-i'm sure it all looks the same to you, doesn't it ? be hard for any human to navigate around here. especially without projecting. yes, you've used that word before. i'm not quite sure what you're talking about. -it helps you to what, exactly ? have you ever daydreamed... and imagined that you were somewhere else ? i do have an active imagination. well, we don't have to imagine. we project. -we choose to see our environment in any form we wish, whenever we wish. for instance, right now you see us as standing in a hallway, but i see it as a forest. filled with trees, birds, sunlight. like the walks that you and i used to take on caprica. the aesthetic is what gives me pleasure. -not the specific memories. instead of staring at blank walls, i choose to surround myself with a vision of god's creation. right, i think understand projection, it's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it ? -that i could see such... a vivid reality that i've created, and the cylon projection experience seems to be so similar ? is it a coincidence ? well, what are you saying ? there's a connection ? what, because of my experiences with you... -am i a cylon ? what was that? oh, nothing. just talking out loud. silly me ! -so you sure you want to go in the second seat again ? i mean, i hear you're a pretty fair pilot now. well, too many pilots, not enough birds. anything to keep me flying, at this point. you want me, i'm yours, boomer. -uh, no, boomer was... she was someone else. listen up ! we need a call sign for lieutenant agathon. chrome dome. -mayflower. carburetor. wind-up toy. tin can. toaster babe. -transistor. robo pilot. how 'bout athena? wait, wait, wait, wait. what was that? -you know, the goddess of wisdom and war. usually accompanied by the goddess of victory. athena it is. hey, colonel ! colonel, come have a seat. -over here. enough of that to go around ? always. oh, yeah ! dead man's chest. -cut-throat game. not usually your style. it is now. and i'm in it to win. you don't like it, find another game. -oh, there's some straight talk. have you seen the lineup outside the head ? 15 civilians standing in line picking their noses, and waiting to take a shower. frakin' civilians think they run the ship now. beats what we had before. -the ship was like a tomb. you want to know what alone feels like, try spending a few weeks in a cylon holding cell. yeah, it was a bitch on both sides. and it wasn't exactly easy coming up with a plan to save your sorry butts. you guys had it rough, huh ? -hot showers, three squares a day. viper jocks didn't even take a shot till you jumped into orbit. hey... we've all made sacrifices. is that so ? -yes, that's right. while you were pinning wings on your cylon girlfriend, our people were strapping homemade bombs to their chests, doing whatever they could to take the bastards out. so forgive me if i don't get all misty over your sacrifices. you seem distracted, gaius. what ? -you can rest easy, at least for now. the data on earth's location and your valiant rescue of the baby has gone a long way towards impressing the others. i used to think you and i would have a baby one day. there are only 12 cylon models. but in the entire occupation on new caprica, -i only saw seven. now here again, the same seven. who are the final five?

-be quiet, gaius. our hybrid's deciphered part of the data set that we received from our scout ship. this can't happen to us. it's impossible. it is not only possible, it may have been inevitable, once we took human form. -we're not human. we're not like him. god has chosen this time, this place, to test us. whether we fail or pass the test is up to us. what's going on ? -the missing baseship, it's been infected by some kind of disease. a disease ? yes, it's killing them. all of them. if an infected cylon dies, and carries this disease with him into a resurrection ship, it could rapidly spread. -potentially infecting our entire race. all right, we make sure that the resurrection ship is out of range. then we jump to their location. send in a group of centurions... no. -the data set indicates that as soon as the hybrid was infected, the centurions started shutting down. we don't know how ours are gonna be affected. i assume our raiders and baseships are also susceptible. of course. we are all created from the same genetic pool. -then no cylon can board that ship without risking infection. say you'll go aboard the infected baseship, and investigate what happened. you sent them to that nebula. remember ? are you mad ? -you have to prove to them you can be counted on in an emergency. show them you're worth keeping alive. and what if i catch the disease ? what are the chances that a human could catch something that infects a centurion or a raider ? that is...if you're human. -and if you're really a cylon... one of the final five you haven't seen yet... then wouldn't you rather just get it over with and die? i'll go ! what ? yes, i'll go. look, i am a trained scientist. -i can go to the baseship. i can make observations about the cylons. their physical condition. bring back information about this disease, which now threatens all of you. we've learned the disease that's killing the human cylons could infect one of our raiders as well. -then don't send a raider. surely the war's furbished you with some... colonial vessels. he's right. we could program one of our raptors to approach on autopilot. all right, then prepare to jump the ship. -make sure the resurrection ship knows to stay behind, out of range. a truly selfless act. i could use a refill here. here. here's to knowing... that somebody will always have your back. -yeah. the sentiment's good, but in my book, trust is an overrated commodity. that one i'll drink to. frak you guys. what is your problem, katrina ? -my problem is you, captain. and all this us against them crap. truth hurts, doesn't it ? gimme another one. you know what, starbuck ? -whatever happened to you down there, why don't you take it out on the cylons, 'cause we busted our ass to get you off that rock. and you think that means anything ? every colonist that landed on new caprica was loyal, to a point. it was amazing watching those people that you thought you knew go over to the cylons. at least in the end, we knew where we stood, huh ? -is that so ? then how come you are off flight duty, and some cylon lover is holding down my post? don't kid yourselves. you're on your own in this life. each and every one of us. -why don't you tell that to the pilots that died getting you off that rock ? and gaeta's briefing sharon and racetrack on the scouting mission to the pulsars. you mean athena and racetrack. word travels fast. yes, it does. -i understand that morale's taken a hit on the flight deck. nothing we can't handle, sir. i'm also told that colonel tigh is spending a lot of time down in the pilots' rec room. both him and starbuck, sir. they've been holding court. -second-guessing the rescue, bad-mouthing the crew that stayed up with galactica. suddenly, if you weren't in the ground war, it's like you can't be trusted. and people are listening. your word carries a lot of weight. you're right, they're destroying morale and unit cohesion. -they both know better. i don't think they care, sir. two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force. the embryo becomes a fish that we don't enter until a plate. we're here to experience, evolve the little toe. -atrophy. don't ask me how. i'll be dead in a 1,000 light years. thank you. thank you. -genesis turns to its source. reduction occurs step-wise, though the essence is all one. end of line. after your system check, diagnostic functions within parameters, repeats the harlequin. the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes. -52% of heat exchanger, cross-collateralized with hyperdimensional matrix. upper senses repair ordered. relay to zero, zero, zero, zero... is it aware of us ? of course. -she's aware of everything aboard. end of line. new paragraph. pancreatic fluid at one with the continuum of evolutional matrix. we're here to experience, evolve the little toe. -reduction occurs step-wise, though the essence is all one. full stop. new paragraph. system check... do you have any idea what it's talking about? -no. most cylons think the conscious mind of the hybrid has simply gone mad, and the vocalizations we hear are meaningless. but not everyone thinks that. the ones you know as leoben believe believe that every word out of her mouth means something. that god literally speaks to us through her. -she sort of controls the baseship, does she ? she is the baseship, in a very real sense. mind gone mad. she experiences life very differently than we do, gaius. she swims in the heavens... laughs at stars, breathes in cosmic dust. -maybe leoben's right. maybe she does see god. we're wasting time. jump. there are bodies everywhere. -others dying. what the hell is that ? definitely man-made. you're severely dehydrated. you must drink some water. -kill me. you don't understand. there is no resurrection ship nearby. you will not be downloaded into a new body. you will just be gone. -i saw how they died. please... please, i can't bear that. i'm here to bring help. all right ? -i'm just gonna take some blood samples for analysis on the baseship. and then we will be able to make a treatment for the disease. just breathe, please. please take some water. you're... -you're from galactica. no, i'm from a baseship. tell me... do you know what this is ? we... found it floating at these coordinates. -must be some kind of beacon... or marker. it looks too old. it looks very old. must've been left by the 13th tribe. infected, poisoned. -left by some humans like you to destroy us. what ? a human device filled with a pestilence. you sent us to this place. it wasn't me. -you knew we'd bring it aboard. you don't know what you're saying. this is the disease speaking through you. calm down. i am going to bring help. -you knew it was here. now, shush. shush... i would never do anything to hurt you. you and the other baseships knew it was here. -i am going to bring help. be quiet. be quiet. be quiet. i'm going to bring help. -it's your fault! you lied to them. shut up ! you lied to them. shut up ! -be quiet ! be quiet ! shut up ! you're gonna infect all of us ! be quiet. -shut up ! shut up ! gaius, do you hear us ? gaius, do you read ? is anyone alive ? -what do you see ? speak to us. what do you see ? are any of them alive ? this is gaius baltar. -i'm returning to the baseship. what do you see ? absolutely nothing. nothing of consequence. there's nothing left to do here. -nobody likes it, but we have to make a terrible choice. do we attempt a rescue, and risk the lives of our fleet, even our species, or do we leave them ? the answer won't be found in science, because there's no cure in science. well, there has to be. do we just leave them here ? -then they're condemned to death. no, even the humans don't abandon their own. they must be sacrificed for the greater good. there is a greater question. yes, there is. -how did this happen ? baltar it's baltar. it's his fault. he led us there deliberately. -he's been working with galactica the whole time. it wasn't me. whatever you think i did, i didn't do, honestly ! baltar, we followed your coordinates, and found a disease with no treatment or cure. if we leave, they're doomed. -never to return. perhaps god would smile upon us for our mercy. oh, listen to you. you can barely even speak his name. listen to me ! -i'm totally and utterly innocent ! we have to leave them. we have to jump, and leave them to their fate. there is no other way. mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo, and love no more. -end of line. the hybrid objects. she doesn't get a vote. jump the ship. jump. -this disease... it must've come from someplace. so what did you notice on the infected ship ? nothing. nothing. i am just as baffled as you are. -you noticed nothing suspicious on the infected ship ? nothing whatsoever. admiral on deck. admiral. give me the room. -stay in your seat. have a drink ? give me your sidearm. what ? your sidearm. -hey, there's a live round in that. now one of you, and i don't care who, pick that weapon up and shoot me. admiral, i don't know... i didn't say to talk. you've done enough of that already. -i said to pick up that weapon, and shoot. what's the matter ? no guts ? you don't got a pair ? you're both frakking cowards. -watch your mouth. or what ? you going to turn the rest of my pilots against each other ? poison the crew ? you've already done that, saul. -both of you. yeah, well, if you're looking for an apology, it isn't gonna happen. you were like a daughter to me once. no more. you're malcontented, and a cancer. -and i won't have you on my ship. so you have a choice. you figure out how to become a human being again, and an officer, or you can find another place to live. off of this ship. -you're dismissed. are you gonna kick me out of my chair too ? listen, i know you've been through a lot... don't patronize me. say what you came here to say. -you're full of bile, hatred. and i know that it has something to do with ellen. and i'm sorry for that. and if you need time, saul, well, you take all the time you want. but i've got a ship to run. -and the last thing i need is a one-eyed drunk sitting down here, sowing discontent and disobedience. so i'll tell you once again, saul. you can pick up that weapon and kill me... or you can get your ass back into your quarters, and not leave... until you're ready to act like the man that i've known for the past 30 years. that man doesn't exist anymore, bill. and you won't be seeing me again. -oh, my gods, it's right there. the lion's head nebula, and the blinking eye. holy crap, it's the road to earth. oh, my gods. let's get the frak out of here. -i'll start the jump. when god's anger awakens, even the mighty shall fall. frak athena, we need to get out of here. additions, corrections and synchronisation : theama1 -if i get stuck in a corner with somebody boring my ears off, i want you to promise to rescue me. no, i'm just gonna let you suffer. thanks. don't worry, dan and maggie are gonna be there. -oh great! mount rushmore. the silent twins. are we gonna be like that when we're married? no, definitely not. -we're gonna bicker like most married couples. that's a relief, i was getting worried there for a minute. these or these? those. you're driving, i'm drinking. -i hate parties. oh, jonathan, cheer up. i know you'll enjoy it once you get there. i can enjoy it even more when i'm here. we'll be late. -fashionably late. no, too late. not late enough. jesus, luce. what? -what is it? oh, great. you've been tidying up again. spick and span, span and spick, how... fantastic. how marvellous. -we christians do live in hope. hope is the very bedrock of our lives... .. the sure and certain hope of eternal life as promised by the sacrifice of our lord jesus christ for our sins. if you don't have that hope, what do you have? you have nothing, no ethical or moral compass to guide you through the troubled waters... congratulations. -when's the wedding? er... it's supposed to be next month but there's no way it can go ahead with things, er... jonathan, please. let's not. it's like you've already decided that... -sorry. er, i think you should see what we're talking about before we go any further. darling. they're on my arms too. have you seen a doctor? -i am a doctor. when did you first notice it? four weeks ago. lucy? it's agony. -i can hardly sleep at night. it's impossible to get comfortable. i pulled all the strings i could to fast-track lucy through every test, every specialist. nothing. it's the same pattern, that's the thing. -it's exactly the same pattern as before. before? jonathan was married before. she died. claire died four years ago. -er, her immune system broke down, she died of primary septicaemia. her organs stopped working, her skin became... diseased, er, rotten. it was, um... we thought we were being totally irrational at first, but... it began literally when we started planning the wedding. can't be a coincidence, can it? -we just need you to stop it. stop claire. robert, i found this information on the net about a new treatment for brain tumours using lasers. they're doing it in america. barbara, you heard dr stanley. -i need to think about the here and now. it's not dr stanley's life, it's yours. correct. and i don't want to waste my time. well, i don't think you should put the blinkers up completely. -i'm not convinced that ruling out chemo... i don't want chemo. i don't want anything. there is no miracle cure, there is no... mit boffin or filipino spirit surgeon or faith healer or touchy feely health group. -it's a shitty thing but i can't put it right! i'm just... i know you're just but... it's... it's god's sick little joke, isn't it? robert, you don't have to face this on your own. -there's me, there's jude... jude. have you told her? i have enough to deal with without dealing with her pain as well or her dealing with mine. don't you think that's her decision? -no. there are people who care about you, don't shut them out. robert? yeah. yes. -maybe. i've got a lot to do. thanks. look, i think it's important what you said to me about your mother. important to what? -your book? may be a big issue for you, robert, but it's not a big issue for me. i'm not talking about my book. i mean in terms of something you need to explore yourself. have you seen your mother's spirit before? -why? why do you think she's here now? why do you keep bringing this up? i have no idea. look, i can't deal with this at the moment. -i've got someone else's problem to think about. fine, but these things you take on, it's obviously easier than dealing with your own issues. i've just met someone who thinks their fiancée is possessed by their dead wife's spirit, so, you know, it's not easy. for you right now, it is. i'm sorry. -your mother's presence is disrupting you, haunting you. all your life you've dealt with other people's ghosts, now you have to deal with your own. you look like shit, by the way. i'm fine. don't deflect the question. -what question? you may not want to talk about this now but we will talk about this sooner or later. fine. shall we talk about it later? it's like she's trying to destroy me from the inside, like she doesn't want me here. -you mustn't talk like that. it's true. it's how i feel. i can't eat this. it's vile. -leave it, i'll get you something else. it tastes bloody. it's totally raw, like... like flesh. it tastes of animal. -i'll take it away. claire didn't eat meat, did she? she was a vegetarian, wasn't she? well... answer me, wasn't she? the important thing is, alison listened to us. -alison took us seriously and... i know she can help us. we just have to trust her... lucy! lucy? -my god. lucy? lucy? what happened? what happened? -i don't know. what happened? are you sure you wanna see these people? are you interested any more? of course i'm interested. -i'm interested in you. this is robert bridge, he's writing a book about me. if you don't want him to be here, i'll happily get rid of him. um... i'm not sure whether she remembers last night and, er, and i don't want to scare her even more, so... -i'd appreciate it if... i understand. she's just through here. please do something. please. -tell her to stop. please. do you know, i'd really like a cup of coffee, black no sugar. would that be possible? yes. -yes, of course. i'll give you a hand. your fiancée looks like she's really suffering. she is. just like claire, identical. -sorry, did she say no milk or no sugar? black, no sugar. you know, everyone says that the build-up to a wedding is one of the most stressful things you can go through. it's not stress. i'm a gp, i know stress when i see it. -this isn't a little flare-up of eczema at exam time, didn't you see her? you've done all the standard blood tests? yes. inconclusive? yes. -i could give you a list of what we've tried. you wouldn't believe what we've tried - ct scan, lumbar puncture, you name it. i'm sorry, jonathan, but i have to be honest. i look at lucy and what i see is some kind of skin disorder. don't you think i'd give anything to believe that? -don't you think i know this looks crazy from the outside? well, i'm not on the outside, i'm here, i'm living with it. i'm seeing it in front of my eyes every day. you have a beautiful home. it's claire's home. -claire's money, family money. don't be scared. is there a really, really good reason why i shouldn't be? i'll try and think of one. will you answer me something? -honestly, truthfully. can people who've died manipulate you and have a hold over you? sometimes. did you know claire before? yeah, we were best mates for years. -we went to uni together. were you all quite close? she met jonathan thanks to me. so you both felt you'd lost her? yeah. -after claire died, jonathan and i got closer. he was so devastated and... and i just wanted to help. and that's when we started to feel differently about each other. when you're in love, all you want to do is give care and support. when you're a doctor, you just want to alleviate suffering and pain. -i can't do either. how do you feel about all the photographs of claire about the place? he's got other stuff of hers, clothes and things. does that bother you? no, it's good. -i i want him to remember her. oh... how do you think claire would feel about the two of you getting married? lucy? -lucy? lucy? claire? do you want to talk to me? do you want to tell me why you're hurting lucy like this? -alison, that's enough! what happened? what? what? thanks very much for that, robert, that was really sensible. -what did you expect me to do, stand by... i didn't expect you to do anything, didn't want you to do anything. look, it doesn't take a genius to work out lucy's condition is psychogenic. it's real. maybe, the two aren't mutually exclusive. -physical things don't manifest because of spirit intervention, this isn't medieval, it's medical. so much for being on my side. there is no side to reality, alison. oh, great. one minute you say you wanna be more open-minded and the next minute you're saying everything i believe in is bogus, what's going on? -nothing's going on. i'm just stating fact, and that's uncomfortable for you. no, what's uncomfortable for me is you going back to being the closed down, blinkered person that you used to be. no, i'm not. -yes, you are! don't argue with me, you've changed. no, i haven't, i haven't changed at all. i'm open to evidence, i always was open to evidence. this isn't evidence. -what the hell's wrong with you? stop the car. stop the car. stop the car! emergency stop, robert! -hello, robert, it's jude. look, we're not kids. i never liked this game of who was going to call who, so let's just be straight with each other. what i mean is be straight with me. ok, if it was a one-off, it was a one-off and i'll get over it. -just please, don't mess me around. tell me about claire. how did lucy feel about getting married before all this? well, we both just felt so lucky. what about claire? -how do you think she'd feel about it? she'd be happy. happy for both of you? yes, absolutely. that's what i don't understand. -why is she punishing lucy, her friend, of all people? why is she being so vindictive? it's not like her, it doesn't make sense at all. no more photographs. in a way, claire was stronger than me through it all. -even though she was the one suffering. it must have been very painful for you. disease is a merciless thing. she turned into someone i didn't recognise, didn't want to recognise. is claire angry? -why is she angry when i loved her so much? i think... she's desperate. desperate for what? is she trying to kill lucy? can she kill her? -is that what she wants? i don't know. lucy? oh, my god. lucy? -lucy! lucy! lucy! claire. it's like we're strangers. -everything ok? yeah. thanks. it's totally out of character. sorry, am i going on about this? -no, not at all. it's just he always used to be so clear. he'd spell it out, what he felt. too much though, usually. probably the psychologist in him. -i just don't know why he's being like this. have you noticed any difference in him lately? i mean he's not the mercurial, unpredictable type. what do i know? you know, he talks to you. -i just don't know where his head's at at the moment. neither do i. is alison here? what happened? so let me get this straight. -lucy... it's not lucy, it's claire. wait a minute... alison says lucy is losing the battle. alison says? -jonathan, i know you're a medic but with respect this is my area. i strongly believe that lucy is creating her illness because she craves the attention you gave your dying wife. no, it's claire. and lucy is dying the same way claire died. claire, i know you can hear me. -i know you're struggling, i know it's hard. i know you want to tell me something. can you tell me? you don't have to use words. someone moved passed me. -what happened here? nothing. something happened here. something bad? what? -what? there's... there's something that she's trying to show me, she's trying to tell me but she can't. the bottom line is lucy's health, surely. what do you know? -you haven't seen her. she needs to be somewhere she can receive psychiatric care. they'll just lock her up. and claire will get locked up with her. is that what you want? -what exactly are you doing to help? is lucy getting any better? claire has got a purpose, they always have a purpose. how can you help, alison? how can you help anyone in your condition? -get out! get out and leave me alone, both of you. don't move, don't speak, ok? yesterday, i found myself in the absolute worst place i've been in my life. what? -i had to lie, robert, to one of my friends. to your ex-wife, to be precise. let me tell you, all this not hurting her stuff. i've got news for you - you're hurting her now with your cowardice. she's hurting now. -how the hell do you think she's going to feel when you're dead? i'm... i'm ok. i'm ok. sort it out, robert. -it's not fair on her and it's not fair on me. oh, hello? this is my house! you can't tell me how to behave in my house! do you wanna tidy up? -! all right, then. tidy this, go on. or... or... or these. you could tidy these if you like. -you wanna tidy these? there, tidy those. what about this? yeah? lots in here, darling, tidy this up. -or this? yeah, and this. want to tidy these? tidy those then! tidy those then! -or tidy those! alison? or those. i'd love to... alison! -you can tidy these if you like. tidy those! alison! what the hell's going on? alison. -alison, wait. all right, you wanna know what she was like? this is what she was like. "sit at the table, fork, knife, fork, put them there, no, no, not there, there. "clean it, no, not clean enough, clean it again. -"clean it again, clean it again. bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. "upstairs, downstairs, upstairs, downstairs, "upstairs, downstairs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. -"wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your face. "wash your hands, wash your face wash your hands, wash your face, wash your... " nobody touches me. no! nobody touches me! -nobody touches me. once, i had some friends over, you know, after school and, erm, my mum, at the front door um, my mum made everyone take their shoes off. um... and we had swiss rolls and jammie dodgers, loved jammie dodgers. and then it was time, erm, you know, it... it was time for them to go and my mum had put all the shoes, everyone's shoes in a bowl of disinfectant. so, um... they all had to walk home in wet shoes. -and no one came again. so, um... you know, you learn how to live without other people. she, um... she got put in an... in an... in an institution and, um, she never came out. -she died when she was 35, i was ten. what age were you when you first saw spirits? ten. yeah i know, robert i know, i know, i know. -have you seen her now? no. but i know she's there. she's not there, alison. what's happening is, your illness is causing you to behave as your mother did. -and this will only get worse. you'll become more damaged and more distressed. no, robert. yes, alison. medicine is unforgiving. -medical conditions are terrifying, ghastly, unrelenting, but at least they're the truth. the belief in spirits, in some life hereafter, naturally, we long for that but all of it, all it does is to make us cling to hope and the truth is, the absolute truth is, there is no hope. there's just biology. no! no! -no! lucy? i tried to destroy claire's things... and she went crazy, she, er, attacked me. i can't deal with her any more. first she wants to kill lucy and now she wants to kill me. -i'm afraid. i'm afraid. claire? alison? it's all right, it's ok. -alison. hiya. only me. it's you! i can hear you. -oh, what a day. i am so glad to be home. jonathan? what did you see? love. -jonathan. jonathan. claire? jonathan. you weren't there when she died. -she showed me. i couldn't. she was beautiful. she was my claire. it destroyed her. -it wasn't the way she looked. it was thought of her being like that, in fear and pain... decaying. the last days, i... i couldn't bear to face her. she didn't understand, she thought you'd stopped loving her. -no, never. it was because i loved her too much. all she wanted was for you to be there at the end. i couldn't. you couldn't then, but you can now. -all she wants to know is that you loved her. and to say goodbye. claire... i'm here, claire. i love you. -claire? claire? claire's gone. lucy? lucy? -lucy? yes? i'll be with her, i'll look after her. i know you will. she'll recover now and claire's at peace. -no one wants to die alone. do you still have a weakness for the occasional custard doughnut? you don't know me that well, robert. listen, jude, i'll cut to the chase. i don't wanna waste any more time. -people waste too much of their lives, i think we should move back in together. hang on, what are you talking about? you and me, why mess around? we're not strangers. we were always good together. -robert, a million things have happened since then. don't you think this is my decision too? yeah, of course, of course. we can't just plunge into this blindly and expect it to work out. there's... -there's not just us to consider, we've got to give it time... how much time? i don't know. weeks, months? i don't know how long. -however long it takes. ok, ok, ok. robert. i'm not saying i don't like the idea. i just need time, that's all. -ok, ok, ok. i'm alison, i'm myself. i'm not you. i won't be you. i won't, i won't. -i won't, i won't. i won't, i won't. it was christmas time, a time of hope. and i was hoping i had enough bread to make 274 bologna sandwiches. they were for the list. -#146: stole gay kenny's lunch every day of 5th and 6th grade. hey, one day i chewed up kenny's sandwich, spit it out and shoved it down his throat. you think i should count that one ? 'cause technically, he did eat it. -the holidays were a time of hope for randy, too. he was finally going to make his move on catalina. i'm almost done with my love poem. what's something that rhymes with "cartilage" ? or "florida." i can go either way. -from the first day he saw her, randy had a deep love and respect for catalina. dibs. but he was too shy to ever pursue it. then he dated that tiny cat lady who liked him so much, she picked him over her cat. -after that, he finally got confident enough to show his love to catalina. cat lady. cat-alina. we had discussed that coincidence many times. are you sure you want a love poem with the word "cartilage" in it ? -yeah, and the next word i use can't be "hardilage" 'cause i already used that. hardilage ? and for joy, the holidays were also a time of hope. she was hoping she could stay out of jail for kidnapping and grand larceny. -and he deaf lawyer was hoping joy could control her anger in a courtroom situation. can you state your name ? yes, it's joy farrah turner. libra. and you're a resident of camden ? -yes. now, miss turner, you've been a slut for how long now ? you son of a bitch ! i'm going to break every damn bone in your talking hands ! and that's why they were practicing. -joy always did have a problem controlling her anger. this is what i'm talking about. you can't do this in court. i'm sorry. it's just that deaf accent of yours gets me every time. -all right, i'm cool. shoot me another question. i can hold myself back. kind of like the elementary school held your dopey kids back last year ? my babies are off limits ! -no, no, no, no, no, no. no, please, don't. while i brought sandwiches to kenny, randy continued planning his big night with catalina. the night i give her the poem and tell her i love her, -i'm going to have the room decorated with stuff she likes. do you know what she likes ? i don't know. a lot of girls like rainbows. rainbow. -i'm going to need a hose. oh. oh, hi, earl, randy. what's new ? i can't take the crying anymore, kenny. -you're a cry baby. and you're an emotional terrorist, that's what you are ! uh, i made you 274 sandwiches. i'm sorry, kenny. we tried, but it's not going to work. -then go ! get out ! i hate you ! i hate you ! i hate you ! -uh, anyway, some of them are on white bread and some are on whole wheat, which i thought gay people would enjoy. i hope these don't have mayo on them, i'm on a diet. since i'm apparently dating again. as much as i didn't want to stay, kenny needed someone to talk to. -ever since brokeback mountain, all guys want anymore are tough, strong manly types. that movie totally ruined gay life. yeah, i hear you. what's he talking about ? what about people like me, earl ? -how am i going to find a man to love me ? look, i, uh... i don't know much about gay stuff, kenny. the gayest thing i've ever done is make all these sandwiches. hey, you think you can teach me how to be like you ? -everything about you is manly. your clothes, your scent, even your name earl. earl. earrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl. please stop that. -wait, wait, wait... you want me to teach you how to be less gay so you can sleep with more men ? okay. oh ! thank you so much ! -oh, this is going to be oodles of fun. okay, rule number one : don't say "oodles" unless it's followed by "noodles." that's right. while i was trying to help kenny, joy's lawyer was trying to help her, by sending her to an anger management class. -each of you has a disease. unfortunately, because of budget cuts, anyone with a control problem in camden met in the same group. wasn't effective, but it was cheaper. whether it's the disease of alcoholism or out of control anger or a sex addiction or stealing things you don't need. but why ? -why must i steal pens and only pens ? i have thousands of them. i don't want anymore. i am so ashamed. oh, for god's sake, would you suck it up ? -nobody gives a damn about your stupid pen problem. and i'm sorry, but drinking all the time, like sheila over there, is not a disease. what's on the back of her neck, now that's a damn disease. and wanting sex 16 times a day just means that whoever you're with ain't getting the job done right the first time. and please, having 300 pairs of fancy shoes in your closet does not mean becky is sick. -it means she's ugly and she just wants people to stare at her feet. no, joy. a disease is something you have no control over. it's something you can learn to live with but cannot cure. a disease is something that is not your fault. -i like that "it's not my fault part" keep going. well, you have what is known as pathological impulse control disorder. hot damn ! does this mean that i can get cripple people parking ? although it felt a little strange, no one ever wanted to be like me before. -so helping kenny was kind of fun. untuck your shirt. really ? well, i do 20 lunges every morning to make sure i have a good butt. okay, it just seems like a waste of lunges. -i took kenny to the crab shack to start his macho lessons. catalina came along to wire some money home. big stack this week. yeah, club chubby relaxed their no touching policy during holidays. i can't stand using this machine. -it's too much damn responsibility. last month, i accidentally sent $600 to the taliban. well, don't mess this up. if the money doesn't get to my village each week, the man who kidnapped my brother will cut off his finger. he was born with eleven, but as a magician, he uses them all. -don't cross your legs like that. and take the napkin off from around your beer bottle. you are such a stern task master. no, don't say words like stern. and whatever that other thing was. -oh, it's okay. i'm not stealing. i'm just finding out things about catalina to help me with the big night i'm planning. she likes orange tic tacs. keys. -and tampons. is there a pen in there ? when i saw that rosie the bookie was operating at the bar today, i decided to introduce kenny to the manly world of dog race betting. pick a dog. -i don't have all day. ooh, tiny dancer. that's an elton john song. lyrics by bernie taupin. just put a bet down. -be bold. five dollars on tiny dancer. bolder. five dollars on tiny dancer. tiny dancer had a good day, and so did me and kenny. -we bet the next race and won that one, too. yeah ! yeah ! and four more after that. that's when i realized this was the first time i really gambled since i made the list. -maybe karma was looking over my shoulder. that weekend, i took my winnings and bought myself a christmas present : new tires for the el camino. and since changing tires was a manly activity, i figured i'd get kenny to do it. -i believe that's called "multi-tasking." after kenny changes your tires, can we go to the store so i can get a special shirt to wear when i ask catalina out ? i found out she likes dogs, so if they have anything made out of dog skin, that might be cool. maybe later. i need to get to the crab shack and put a few bets down while i'm still on a roll. -i also need bubble wrap. she likes the sound it makes when it pops 'cause it reminds her of her childhood. you know, 'cause of all the shooting. hey, tough guy. want to learn how to change a tire ? -oh, sure. i'm just finishing my coffee. where's all your stuff ? oh, i, uh... i sent it all out to be cleaned. -you know, for the holidays. really ? why didn't you have someone come here to clean it ? well, because, uh... because i'm lying. ever since you introduced me to gambling, i can't stop. -i've been betting the horses online everyday. i didn't think i could lose. i kept betting on horses named after elton john songs. damn candle in the wind. cost me my velveteen satine. -hold on, buddy. let's look at the bright side. at least you're starting to show some manly rage. and now you're crying. ricola ! -...after loosing all his furniture, dishes and something he called "window treatments," kenny thought he might have a gambling problem. and in camden, there was only one place for him to go. so, in a sense, gambling was a way to numb your childhood pain. it did hurt when the kids renamed that playground game "smear the kenny." -i told you i had that on my list, kenny. i'm gonna get to it. earl, would you like to share anything today ? no, i'm just here 'cause kenny was nervous about coming. i'm just making my picks for the day. -earl introduced me to gambling. he's super good at it. i'll go again. yesterday, i punched a school bus. joy, we're talking to earl now. -so, earl, do you do a lot of gambling, too ? uh, lately, yeah. as much as i can. i'm on a roll. in fact, i'm starting to feel a little buggy sitting here knowing i might miss the first race. -earl. maybe you need to ask yourself if you have a gambling problem. hmm, nope. i don't have a gambling problem. i'm winning. -and winning is not a problem. that's like saying michael jordan has a basketball problem. or def leppard has an awesomeness problem. so, why don't you all just pour some sugar on that ? oh, i just thought of something else i punched. -it was a santa claus begging for money. i went to the bank today. i was mad about being accused of having a gambling problem, but spending the next eight hours at the crab shack made me feel better. that's it. i'm out of cash. -ah... wait, don't leave, rosie. hey, crab man, you want to pick a number again and i'll try to guess it ? no, no way. i lost too much money playing that game yesterday. sixteen. -whoa. you're like a x-man or something. if you're looking for some action, i've got a little thing i do. around 2:00 a.m. tonight, down in east camden. -you know that alley where them two fellas got stabbed last month ? right next to that dumpster where them wild dogs ate that bum's arm. yeah ? there's a door that says "danger. do not enter." -that's where you enter. but there's gonna be gambling ? oh, yeah. i'll be there. whoa ! -wait, so we just bet on where the chicken poops ? that's right. i'm in. here, $40 on square number five. this is fantastic. -yeah. chicken got to poop, people got to bet. worked out real nice. right there, right there. yeah, buddy. -go, go, go. when the chicken drop stopped, i got the number of a place overseas that takes bets 24 hours a day. i stayed up all night betting on all kinds of things. earl... shh ! -i'm looking for the news. early returns are coming in on the election in the congo. i put a thousand on moombata over adabbu. moombata's a cannibal, but he went to harvard. earl, could you sit on the bed ? -i'm laying bubble wrap. now ? yeah, today's the day i tell catalina i love her. i've got a ton of decorating to do. do you think you could help me build a piñata shaped like some actress named salma hayek ? -catalina doesn't like this salma woman. she's just always wanted to hit her with a stick. shh, randy. just hold on a second. and in international news, it looks like moombata will win in a landslide. -moombata ! new day for central africa. whoo ! i knew it was a mistake for adabbu to go negative. since randy wanted catalina out of the motel while he set up for his big night, -i took her over to watch the chickens crap. come on ! relax and let it go. come on ! let it go, come on ! -come on ! come on ! kenny, what are you doing here ? i got the jones, earl. i needed some action. -i guess i'm just weak. no, what was weak was sitting in that room talking about your feelings. remember, real men keep their emotions bottled up until they explode, and then they punch something that has nothing to do with what they're mad at. oh, i would so date that. now, let's win your furniture back. -oh, yeah, this one's a winner. see how he's moving his head ? that's a poopie dan. yeah, buddy ! come on ! -earl, you said we could leave an hour ago. my shift at club chubby starts in 20 minutes, and if i'm late, fat susan will go up first and sweat up the pole. oh, hold on ! he's going for the corner. -we've got 'em all covered. come on, buddy. earl, i'm not gonna have time to go to the crab shack so i can wire money home. here, just take my car. i'll go by the crab shack and wire your money. -okay, well, just make sure that money gets to my village by noon. the thought of my brother's finger being chewed off by a weasel is too much. that's how they do it. they starve the weasel, then dip the finger in peanut butter. okay, noon, got it. -come on, man ! pick it up ! yeah, buddy ! number nine. you can't lose, earl. -it was a beautiful day. we were even getting comped. yeah. and just when we thought things couldn't get any better, we saw it. mr. pitts. -that was the name of our fifth grade teacher. it wasn't his real name, we just called him that 'cause he could sweat through two shirts and a blazer. mr. pitts ? it's a sign. i know, kenny. -square five for fifth grade. we got to go in with everything we got. i'm with you, man. i knew this was my chance to finally make a really big score. the only problem was, -i didn't have enough money to do it up right. earl, what are you doing ? you're not thinking of betting catalina's money, are you ? why not ? hell, she'd want me to. -i'll win ten times as much and can pay her back double. ah, i don't know, man. what if you lose ? you won't be able to wire the money, and catalina's brother will have his finger chewed off by a weasel. and she will hate you forever. -and what's worse, you'll hate yourself. when kenny said those things to me, it made me look deep into my heart and i realized something, something kind of painful. kenny's a loser. i'm betting it all. you've got to stop thinking negative. -so, there's nothing i can do about it. i have an anger disease. kind of like how you have a can't-hear-anything disease and you have a get-your-ass- kicked-by-a-girl disease. she says... a bunch of stuff. look, have you tried drugs ? -a long time ago. but just pot. and hash and quaaludes. and once, i dated this indian guy and i chewed on a horse's adrenal gland. but how is this gonna help me in court ? -no, i mean prescription drugs. for your anger. they have certainly done a lot for me. you have anger issues ? a mousy little dude like you ? -it is not easy getting paid minimum wage to say whatever stupid things some deaf woman tells you to. plus, i hate it when she flirts with guys. i'm not wearing any panties today. damn, she makes you do that ? how do you not just kick her ass ? -i take medication. calmuvent smoothes everything out. she wants to know what we're talking about. you don't have to be part of every conversation ! must be noon. -time to take my meds. earl hickey, telephone call for you. take down a message. what ? take a message ? -if you was in atlantic city, would you ask donald trump to take a message for you ? i'll get it. come on, mr. pitts. right there, buddy. hello ? -number five kenny, it's randy. there's a problem with catalina. what ? is she okay ? -come on, mr. pitts. don't be a tease. if you're gonna squat like that, do something. that was randy. catalina's in trouble. -we have to... ah, one more minute. earl, there's a problem with catalina... hang on ! -bear down, buddy. you're in the zone. she got pulled over by the cops, earl, she... quiet, kenny ! you're gonna mush my bet ! -five, five, five ! catalina was speeding. the cops stopped her and took her away. she could get deported. kenny told me that catalina was speeding 'cause she was late for work. -when the police pulled her over, they saw her license and quickly realized her name wasn't jane driver and she didn't live in go-cart country. so, she tried to make a run for it. unfortunately, she had already put on her stripper shoes. you pig ! oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink ! -let go of me ! let go ! number five. you win again. it was my fault catalina got arrested. -she was late for work 'cause i wouldn't leave. i did have a gambling addiction. and even though it hadn't cost me a dime, it cost me stuff a whole lot more important than money. don't worry, randy. we'll get her back. -it's too late, earl. they took her to immigration. they're gonna deport her. but even when it doesn't seem like it, christmas is still a time of hope. -kenny was hoping to get his life back on track. he finally realized the way to become a real man wasn't by following me around, it was by facing his problems and, well, getting help. and joy was hoping she finally found a cure for her anger disease. so you can take that with your birth control pill ? i don't take birth control pills. -what ? randy was hoping he'd get the chance to tell catalina how he felt about her. and i was hoping i'd be able to fix all the problems i caused and we'd we all be back together again. so, a few days later, we found out where catalina was and headed off to bring her back. transcript: -raceman synchro: dingo my name is earl. a time ofhope. -and i was hopin'i had enough bread to make 274 bologna sandwiches. they were for the list, number 146- stole gay kenny's lunch everyday in fifth and sixth grade. hey, one day i chewed up kenny's sandwich, spit it out, and shoved it down his throat. you think i should count that one? 'cause technically, he did eat it. -he was finally gonna make his move on catalina. i'm almost done with my love poem. what's somethin' that rhymes with "cartilage?" or "florida." i can go either way. randy had a deep love and respect for catalina. -dibs. then he dated that tiny cat lady who liked him so much, she picked him over her cat. after that, he finally got confident enough to show his love to catalina. cat lady. catalina. -we had discussed that coincidence many times. are you sure you want a love poem with the word "cartilage" in it? yeah. and the next word i use can't be "heart-ilage"...

"calmuvent." smooths everything out. she wants to know what we're talking about. you don't have to be part of every conversation! must be noon. -time to take my meds. earl hickey. telephone call for you. take down the message. what? -take a message? if you was in atlantic city, would you ask donald trump to take a message for ya? i'll get it. come on, mr. pitts! right there, buddy! -hello. kenny, it's randy. there's a problem with catalina. what? is she okay? -come on, mr. pitts! don't be a tease. if you're gonna squat like that, do somethin'! that was randy. catalina's in trouble. -we have to- one more minute. earl, there's a problem with catalina. hang on! bear down, buddy! -you're in the zone! she got pulled over by the cops. quiet, kenny! you're gonna "moosh" my bet! five, five, five! -catalina was speeding. the cops stopped her and took her away. she could get deported. so she tried to make a run for it. unfortunately, she had already put on her stripper shoes. -you pigs.! oink, oink, oink.! let go of me.! let go.! number five! -you win again. she was late for work 'cause i wouldn't leave. i did have a gambling addiction. i did have a gambling addiction. and even though it hadn't cost me a dime... it cost me somethin'a whole lot more important than money. -don't worry, randy. we'll get her back. it's too late, earl. they took her to immigration. they're gonna deport her. -kenny was hopin'to get his life back on track. he finally realized the way to become a real man wasn't by following'me around. it was by facing'his problems and, well, gettin'help. and joy was hopin'she'd finally found a cure for her anger disease. so you can take that with your birth control pill? -i don't take birth control pills. what? randy was hopin'he'd get the chance to tell catalina how he felt about her. and i was hopin'i'd be able to fix all the problems i'd caused... and we'd all be back together again. so a few days later, we found out where catalina was... and headed off to bring her back. -all right. you're gonna park in a-106. okay. so at the stop sign, make a right. another right at the panda. -it's on your left. okay. thank you. tell me about it. remember coach roberts? -i have this recurring dream about the guy. i'm ninety years old and i have dentures. except i'm in my high school gym class. everybody's the regular high school age. i'm the only one who's ninety. -and coach is yelling at me i'm going... "dad, get off my back. i'm friggin' ninety, okay?" coach is yelling at me and i'm going, "give me a break". give me a break! -give me a break! give me a break! "give me a break! i'm friggin' ninety!" hi. -name? zach harper. id? oh, yeah. sorry. -this is my first network session. i'm kinda nervous. "give me a break!" what is with that line? give me a break. "give me a break." "give me a break. -i'm friggin' ninety years old!" "i'm friggin' ninety years old, okay homes?" no, don't improvise. they hate that. "i'm friggin' ninety years old, okay?" -yeah, touch the hair. grab the hair. "okay?" this is kinda counterintuitive, you know? it always feels wrong to bring two guys... when you know there's only one that's right for the part. -you have to bring in another guy, otherwise, they resent it. yeah, i know and i'm doing it... but you know, maybe i should just that i prefer tj beforehand. i wouldn't. why not? -because i think they'd resent it. they wanna feel like the decision is theirs... and at the end of the day it is. but they're not stupid. richard, especially, has great taste. that's why we brought the project here. -if tj is the guy, they'll clearly see it. what do you mean "if"? i thought you said you agreed with me. i do. i think tj's great. -i'm just worried he might be a little too hip for the room. too hip for the room? what does that mean? where did you learn that? in manager school. -what does that mean? like too jewish? i think tj's great. i think zach is good, too. zach is not even in the same universe as tj. -zach would have to apply for a visa... zach! my man! what's up, man? how are you? -hi. alice. we met... yes. oh, alice, my manager. -you met yesterday at the studio session? yes. nice to see you again. you, too. again. -right, right. i'm nervous. just try to relax, man. you'll be great. thanks. -i don't know, any last thoughts for me before we go in there? just try to keep it simple. you know? simple? yeah. -that's the main thing. you don't have to do a lot to get your thing across. totally. you understand what i'm saying? yeah. -totally. simple? okay. thanks, mike. all right. -thank you. yeah, it's such a great part... i feel like i really get the guy, you know? we'll see you in there. see you. -okay. bye, guys. see you soon. this is so fucked. he's a sweet kid. -yes! that's why this is so fucked. i know. don't worry, everything's gonna be okay. is your back acting up again? -a little bit. you should try yoga. you know what i'm gonna do? i'm gonna bring tj in first. he sets the standard. -and then i bring zach in. now they're comparing him to tj. clearly not as good. they go for tj. totally. -could we get lucy lawless? you mean... zena the warrior princess. i love her. thanks, jen. -i'm not terribly familiar with her work. but i think michelle sees this character as herself... and she imagines someone a little less conspicuously glamorous. who does she want? she was thinking more of a hope davis. who? -hope davis. american splendor. the secret lives of dentists. wonderful actress. has she done any tv? -lenny. you have your session in five minutes. which show? wexler chronicles. terrible title. -great script. it's a terrible title. i'll get you some tape on hope davis. i think she's a very interesting choice for this. well, i take that seriously, richard. -that's why we brought you here. we need some of your class thing. but i also need a half-hour show... to go up against the second half of csi: new york... and everyone always wonders, can zena be funny? and i'm the person who's saying: -fuck yes! let's do it! i've always believed that lucy lawless has a great half-hour comedy in her. you okay? fucking acid reflux. -puts me in a terrible mood. i'm just seriously questioning whether this beard was a good decision. oh, the beard? i like the beard. i know. -but i mean, do they ever give the lead to the guy with the beard? yeah! i mean, i think facial hair is really cutting edge. it's good. you're gonna be great. -now, i just want you to relax. all right? yeah, you might be a little biased because you have a beard and so... i just think that, you know... look, just relax. -you're gonna be great. you look like a lawyer. you look real. i look like serpico. you do, a little bit. -break a leg. all right, all right, all right. it's great to be back in the fourth floor conference room. yeah well, it's been a busy week over at the wexler chronicles. a whole lot of casting going on and... -so today i thought maybe we'd kick it off by looking at... two lovely actress who represent... two very different but equally exciting alternatives... for the role of amanda and... then we're gonna look at a couple of potential rob wexlers. so it's all very exciting stuff. right. yeah, i can feel the electricity in the room. anyway, without any further ado, let's get this party started, okay? -please, a warm fourth-floor conference-room welcome... for the lovely jessie filmore. jessie. thank you. there she is. whenever you're ready. -okay. thank you. is that you, rob wexler? amanda, hi. hi, neighbor. -wow! god, it's be a really long time. you look so... grown up. you look terrific. ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the... beautiful and talented laurel simon. -stop. stop. thank you. well, what can we say, we're psyched to see you. i'm psyched to see you. -i'm psyched to see all of you. how you doing? i'm great, mike. oh, my god. is that rob wexler? -amanda, hi. hey, neighbor. wow, it's been a really long time. god, you look... so grown-up. you look terrific. -thanks. so when did you get back into town? just this morning. oh, oh, did you finish law school? yeah. -three years ago. three years? no way! so, you're, like, a lawyer now? i know. -we're getting old. speak for yourself, mister. okay? you're the one who's a lawyer. and now please welcome the one, the only, tj goldman. -whoa. there's a lot of you. don't even bother trying to escape. we have you outnumbered. no, i won't put up a fight. -not going anywhere, unless you want me to. whenever you're ready, man, just... we had so many terrible teachers. that's the truth. remember mrs. beetlemeyer? -she was the worst. do you remember coach roberts? how could i forget coach roberts? talk about delusions of grandeur. i have this recurring dream about that guy. -i'm like ninety years old and i have dentures... got them in my high school gym class. everybody else is regular high school age. i'm the only one who's ninety. and coach is yelling at me, and i'm going... "give me a break. -i'm ninety friggin' years old, okay?" and now, last but not least mr. zach harper. hi. zach harper. whenever you're ready. -i'm just gonna jump in if that's... we had so many terrible teachers. that's the truth. remember mrs. beetlemeyer? she was the worst. -do you remember coach roberts? how could i forget coach roberts? talk about delusions of grandeur. i have this recurring dream about that guy. i'm like ninety years old and i have dentures... except i'm in my high school gym class. -and everybody's the regular high school age. i'm the only one who's ninety. and coach is yelling at me i'm going... "give me a break! i'm ninety friggin' years old, homes! -okay?" how'd it go, man? i don't know. all right, i guess. all right. -thanks. dude, whatever happens... i just think it's rad we got to know each other these last two days. yeah. i guess. -now i'm really screwed. 'cause you were all awesome. mike. thank you. you guys were great, laurel. -i mean, four great auditions. you guys can go to sleep tonight and know that... you really fucking brought it. all of you. tj. zach. -you know when we'll know anything? probably not till tomorrow. i gotta get back in there. so i just wanna thank you because you all made me look good. all right. -all right. great stuff, mike. really, good session. they're good. they're good. -they have great material. oh, thanks. no, really. i think the scenes played beautifully. it's very exciting. -i was telling lenny as we walked in here... that this is my favorite pilot we have this season. mine, too. mine, too. so, we should talk about what we just saw... and then we can talk for a minute about the last few remaining script issues. that sounds good. -let's do it. all right. if nobody objects, i'll just jump in. first of all, let's talk about the role of amanda. laurel and jessie. -now i thought they both gave very good readings. my instinct is that laurel is a superb comedienne... whereas jessie is an actress playing comedy, if that makes any sense. it does. and i think you're gonna want a real comedienne in that role. now, they're both quite good, quite funny, quite attractive... -if i could just cut in here... it's true, they're both attractive... but laurel is also really cute. and i think that's a good thing. she doesn't let her cuteness get in the way of her hotness... and that's really special to me. also, i think that jessie has fake breasts. -and i believe that over the life of a series the audience can feel that. i feel very good about laurel as amanda. i think she'd be terrific. then let's do it. let's do it. -let's do it. next! come on! well, now for the role of rob. zach and tj. -well, i think we all know it's clearly zach. really? clearly. no doubt in my mind. i mean, am i crazy here? -no. no. i must admit, i know you like tj, mike but... i thought that za was really terrific. the kid's a star. -very funny. where'd this guy come from? well, he, yeah... he's been around. i just... i'm concerned that he's... a little broad. -what's wrong with broad? i like broad. to me, the broad is the funny. yeah, but... i've been thinking about the lead character a little differently lately... because the dialogue is so naturalistic... which is what i think we all love about it. -and we experience everything through the main character's eyes. i've been thinking of a more subtle kind of acting style... for the lead character... which allows everybody else, all the other characters around him... to go bigger. but not like that other guy. that... what was his name? jt? -tj. see, it's funny. i like tj. i like him. to me, he was a dead fish. -if you'd like to keep looking, i'm sure nobody would object. better be quick. you start shooting in a week. yeah, i've read a lot of guys... and i think i've seen a lot of what's out there. yeah, you have. -honestly, mike, i love this project. love it. i really do. i think you've found your guy. i think he brings us in, which is so important. -and he's funny, and my daughter will love him. mine, too. she'll love him. ...why all the girls in town follow you all around just like me they long to be close to you. i miss you, too. -no. babysitting. come home to me... soon. yo. yo. -i'm lil' adam comin' at you live with dave greco and brian davis of zap monkey, the same company who brought you "throttle autobahn," which your parents might still be playing. welcome to "game gab," guys. uh, thanks. say hello, dave. -hello, dave. so we're gonna be checking out the soon-to-be-released "vision state." now my first question is what the hell does that lame title mean? well... lil' adam... -so you got 3 kids? yeah. 3 girls. oh, you're lucky. yeah. i guess. -you're lucky, too. you have a great career. yeah. but... maybe i waited too long. -oh, you are gorgeous. it's not too late. is dave a good dad? the best. our priority tech is being taken care of by zap monkey, which we think is... -he seems like he would be. i've been meaning to thank you, you know. for what? oh, for being such a big supporter of his, you know? he needs that, you know, to push him along. -but the graphics were temp in the beta, i hope. no, uh, actually, no, those are the graphics that we're going with. i mean, we are gonna make some... some changes-- - whatever, dude, okay? this game is just all over the floor. -i mean, you can't have f.p.s., sim, m.m.o. and fantasy and all that crap, okay? and the game--first, you're riding a dirt bike through a postapocalyptic i.a., and then you're slaying dragons? what's up with that? -dave, you wanna answer this one? yeah, i got this one, pal. you ever rode a dirt bike? what? a real one? -yeah, a real one. a real dirt bike--vroom vroom. you ever do that? you probably did...in 1950. this is going really well. -bri-man you got anything to add to that? yeah. till next week, please don't get a life. peace out! -we're done. great. thank god. what the hell was that? you never said -you were gonna go geraldo on us. who? you know, anyway, you guys should be glad that i held back. okay? i just could've come right out and said your game s-u-x. -i'll sue you. hey. where's suzanne? oh, she had that appointment, so... told me to tell you, you did good. -oh, yeah, that just went really well. oh, god. some jerky little kid doesn't like your game. it's probably just too sophisticated for him. yeah -you guys handled him really well. brian, maybe. i mean, maybe he managed to create some kind of spin. want to go have some fun? come on. -the kids are taken care of for the rest of the afternoon, and i guess you could use a little r r. champagne. yeah don't want this to go to waste. i know. -who gave you this? the, uh, the tech guys over at leviathan sent that over. it's probably just a re-gift. well, that was nice. yeah, they're sweet guys. -so i got this, um, online chat thing that we gotta do, and we got some serious damage control, so... i'll probably be here late. okay if i get a... a rain check? sure. -i hope it rains soon. yeah. okay. can i come in? adam, i know... -i'm sorry. yeah i can't have this conversation right now, marjorie. you know, maybe someday, in a year or something, i can listen to your stupid apology, but right now i just want you to get your stuff and get out. i'm moving. -i'm moving to minneapolis. i... i found a place in a practice there. they specialize in pediatric leukemia. lovely. -something else you didn't tell me. i didn't tell you because i wasn't planning on taking it, and, uh... well, now it just seems like i should, so... good for you. you just... -you know, you really mean a lot to me, and now you don't understand-- - don't you dare cry. i mean, if anyone should be crying, it's me, and i'm not. 'cause you know what? you did us both a favor. -i... i went to see brian before the wedding-- the night before the wedding. he stopped me. he told me that i should go. -i need you to know that he stuck up for you. this isn't his fault. this is my fault. so you want brian? no. -no. i don't know. i just-- maybe i want both of you. maybe... maybe i want someone who's... -part him and part you. well, what if you don't find him? then i'll be making a really big mistake. 'cause you're an incredible person. oh, god. -look, i gotta go. all your stuff's in the garage. put your key in the mail slot... when you're done. marjorie... i hope you find what you're looking for. -i really do. come on, man, take the damn shot already. you're hogging the table. we're done when we're done, dad. dad? -dad? ivy, don't you own this bar? can't you go check these kids' i.d.s? no? adam, adam, slow down, man. -come on. what? i just want to play a game. is that too much to ask? adam, honey, the bartender's cutting you off. -why? i'm just getting started. which is why i'm cutting you off. no, guys, i... all right! -it's about damn time. all right, let's go play a game, jim-bo. it's time. not yet, bro. i called game with the winner. -first of all, i'm not your bro, and second of all, you can't do that. he can't do that, can he? uh, it's fine. come on, man. let's go get some coffee. -i don't wanna get coffee. i wanna play pool, if these damn kids would get off the table. isn't it past your bedtime? why don't you get lost, loser? what'd you say? -i said, get lost. adam, come on, man. come on. i can handle these kids. fine. -you want to be stupid? knock yourself out. in fact, let these guys do it for you. i'm done. you gotta get him out of here. -hey, i tried everything, all right? the guy won't listen. who are you calling? hello? brian, it's jimmy. -listen, you might want to get down to ivy's before your friend gets his face rearranged. he's on his own, jimmy. sorry. now, look, he'd kill me if he knew i was telling you this, but he's cracking up, man. he's losing it at work, trying to pretend everything's fine, but it is so not fine. -not my problem, man. you know what, brian? it is your problem, actually. i didn't get him into this mess. you did. -so you damn well better get down here and get him out of it. you've got 5 minutes, brian. hey, it's me. i... i thought we should talk. -actually, i-i-i don't know. before all of this ever went down hey, open up. it's me. come on, suzanne. -somebody might-- see you?

what the hell are you doing here? trying to keep you from getting killed. why? -i can take care of myself. yeah, i know. oh, you think so? what? at least they're on the same side this time. -everyone calm down! wait, wait, wait, wait. you called the cops? well, if you're not gonna knock some sense into those two fools, maybe a night in the drunk tank will. back off! -back off. why didn't you sign the card? i guess i didn't think... another woman would be inviting you. was she the one-- the one you did it with the first time, you know? -yes. and you've been doing it with her this whole time? god. no. how... -long? it just happened recently. okay? i mean, you and i were sleeping in separate rooms, and she... i was gonna end it tonight. -we were supposed to be working on us. you don't think i know that? i know that. and you know, you--you--you were the one... who--who gave me so much grief over even suggesting the whole sleeping with other people thing in the first place. i mean, what is this? -is this payback? it's not like that, deena. what is it like, dave? i don't know. i don't know! -i don't have any of the answers, okay? i don't know anything about anything. do you understand that i'm just getting by every day? just getting by. well, you can go on kidding yourself. -just go ahead, all right? but i'm done. i'm done. yeah. deena. -oh, the room is, um, paid for tonight, and tomorrow morning... you should start looking for a place to live. you're just gonna... deena. deena! -i blame you for this, you know. the list is getting kinda long. if you'd just stayed away... those guys would have destroyed you and the cops still would have come and you'd still be sitting here-- i didn't mean tonight. i mean, if you just stayed away from marjorie... -i couldn't, adam. and i-i know that's not... cool, but if anyone should understand, it's you. besides, i'm sick of everybody telling me what a wuss i am. yeah, well, you sure picked a hell of a time to grow a set, brian. she left me, too. -so if anybody knows what you're going through right now, it's me. yeah. yeah, i know. i'm sorry, man. i'm sorry all this happened. -really, i... don't know how else to say it. i don't know. maybe we just go for the crazy girls? yeah. yeah, maybe we do. -did marjorie ever tell you about the time i met her mother? no. oh, man, the woman was insane. i should have known then. man, we were driving up to that, ... that place, uh, the garlic capital... -gilroy. gilroy. on that road with the casa de burger-- casa de fruta. hey. -you awake? maybe we could go to the movie theater with the big chairs that rock back and forth. it's more expensive, but it's worth it. they serve salads. we need windex. -hi. did i leave a box of huggies over here? i'm out. left shelf in the pantry. your hair looks nice. -i used the shampoo sample in the newspaper. thanks. i don't know where your jacket is, teenie. we've looked everywhere. why don't you wear something else? -i can't, it's blue day! there's no such thing as blue day! mom! wayne, put that down! dear heavenly father, bless our family and please help me find my jacket, in the name of jesus christ, amen. -sarah, you want to go to the mall with me after school? i'm sorry, i can't. i have to work. morning! hi, mom. -here's your juicer. you fixed it? it was the on-off switch. you look nice for a bunch of second graders. oh. -um, thank you. she used a sample from the newspaper, can you believe that?

hmm? so what's the time-frame? -well, we're thinkin' third store this year, a fourth next. we haven't landed there yet, but we're working the numbers aggressively. you asked for fresh. we're thinking we need to move beyond bill henrickson, the face of home plus, and make home plus the face of utah. grace ann, you wanna take it from there? -gentlemen... bill, your market is dominated by the big boys-- home depot, lowe's, wal-mart. not a friendly group. no, sir, not the warm and fuzzies. -but you do have a potential edge. you're home-grown, based here, salt lake. well, we do like to support our own. exactly. message: -you're one of us, they're not. now, you need to let your customers know you're one of them. nothin' like feeling you belong. paul? salt lake business group study. -what do you see? same woman? look closer. this is code. it says, "i'm wearing my garments. -i'm one of you." that's what utah will see, even if they're not looking. a three-month medium-saturation market-sensitive media campaign branding home plus as utah's family super store; testimonials from employees crammed with visual clues-- subliminal. home plus: -family. utah: family. family: us. -home plus: us. gentlemen... "home plus is us." she's a firecracker. -i see. yes, it's-- it's perfect. oh my! take off your-- peignoir. -yeah. peignoir. she sees us as the utah store even beyond the state, an important regional retailer. how's tuesday for you? teacher's conferences all afternoon. -thursday morning? no, zoning board. how about tomorrow night? okay. g reat. -you're on my skirt. oh, sorry. sometimes you think something, and sometimes you dream it, but in that moment i saw it. i saw it all coming true. like it was meant to happen. -who's that? just nicki. what'd she want? oh, nothing. she's... she's ovulating. -well, i'll give up my night tonight. are you sure? i don't mind. no, really. no, uh, i don't- -i don't mind. i have to go. see ya at home. okay. okay. -come in. papa? was-was there a meeting? yeah, sit down, alby. now, the henricksons are not your concern any longer. -i've decided to handle them myself. but i wa- i was-- you no longer are. i don't understand. -you don't need to. it's under way. what i want you to do is to go home, pack a small bag, and tell your wives you'll be gone for two days. all right. hi, margie! -hi, pam. goin' to the park, so i'll talk to you later. i just got back from the market. i got too many pears. want some? -bartletts, they're so delicious. uh, no. not a big pear person. okay. mm, tell you what, when you gonna be back? -i'll drop by. later. mmm, good. those are missionaries. jacob taggart and erin cullum. -i'd introduce you, but frankly, i think they've got their hands full with that one. may we read this passage to you? "and also to whom the only true and li--" "and living church upon the face of the whole earth." i got it. -look, my children are sleeping, so it's not really convenient for me right now. children? you know, we believe you can be surrounded and draw strength and love from your family for all eternity in the celestial kingdom. we'd be happy to tell you all about that sometime. no, this is good enough, mr. taggart. -we'd love to share with you the gift of the one true church. when would it be convenient for us to return? it wouldn't. who is it? see? -now you've woken him up. i wasn't sleeping, mother. hello, little man. would you like a coloring book? yes. -no. tell me how we can do this. the agency budgeted the campaign at over $250,000. it's too big, bill. it's too much. -no, there's a vision here, and a road-map of how to get there. she's paid to sell you on a vision. that's how they get their jobs. they're ad sales reps. peg? -it goes way beyond any responsible advertising budget based on percent of sales. we'd have to dip into all kinds of accounts to swing it. is there enough, though? enough to get us started. but it's a huge hit to absorb. -it ought to make you very queasy. bill, maybe we should do it smaller. halve the television spots, double the radio spots and don't run 'em at peak drive time or somethin'. what's the point? this is our shot. -guys, this isn't a business expense, it's a down payment on a future. now they know how much they need to brand a new identy. i don't even know why we're talking about this. until we're finally disentangled from roman, we'd be fools to go forward. how can we be the face of utah when we're still stuck in bed with juniper creek? -no. before the week is out, that phone is gonna ring and it's gonna be roman begging to settle. you didn't see the fear in his eyes when i raised the hammer of bringing the attorney general down on him. we're as good as home free. we're doing this. -we have to. drive safely. rest tonight and rejuvenate your mind and spirit to prepare for the task ahead. lord, bless this servant. watch over him on his journey so that your work will be done through his hand tomorrow, and that all our works glorify you, in the name of jesus christ. -amen. amen. wouldn't one of the... hummers be more efficient, papa?

yeah, thanks. okay. all right. yah! -there you are. we're outta here! ow, you're sitting on me. hello. you again. -hello, ma'am. you said something when we visited you earlier. you quoted scripture from "doctrine and covenants." you quote mormon scripture, yet you're not i.d.s. we understand now. -the polygamist lifestyle is wrong, ma'am. no, you assume you know what my religion is. we would like to show you the way back to the one true church. look, i know that busybody across the street sent you, but i don't need any saving. there's room for you, ma'am, -in the church and in our hearts, once you change. i already told you, i am not what you think i am. but i don't need any changing anyway. then we're all done here. wait. -don't think i don't know what you're doing. you're shaking the dust off your feet. you're writing my house off for all eternity. you're in sin, but we're not writing you off. we're marking you down as uncooperative, not repentant. -but we'll continue to pray for you. go on and pray for yourselves! you're the ones that need to be prayed for! go on and pray for yourselves! it's wood. -it's wood, see? oh my god, gibson's got wood. me too. it's my "one mighty and strong," my "pillar of truth."

'cause if you're vibin', maybe you're gay, man. no, it's cool. -don't get stupid. but his was bigger than average, right? it's bigger than yours. oh, shut up. she doesn't even wear makeup and she's so pretty. -my mom looks like a pigeon when she doesn't wear makeup. she's so not what i expected. i thought she'd be more like the one with the braid. what's her name? nicki. -yeah. sarah, would you and heather please join us for dessert? great. thank you. so, you live off red stone creek? -yes, near the park. it's beautiful over there. my parents don't owe anything on the house. it used to be my grandparents'. my mom really wants to move, but my dad won't, and she says that he's really way too attached to his mother. -so, you're nicki? what's it like having roman grant for a father? it's an honor. well, it was nice to meet you, heather. you too, mr. henrickson. -and thank you for the spice cake. i don't usually like it, but the way you made it is delicious. not too intense. you're welcome. you know, i really have some strong opinions about polygamy, and i would love to sit down and talk to you about it one day. -we should do that sometime. okay. all right. i'll see you, sarah. all right. -good night. night. i didn't know she was gonna say that. i mean, she's just really interested, that's all. sarah, if you want to bring a friend home, that's all right. -just ask first. you understand? i understand. good night. good night. -good night. night, honey. the window was open in the bathroom, but i shut it. this is where i stay when i come to town. do you want... a sandwich? -nope. where you from? i'm gonna make a sandwich. they say these tires cost $49. by the time you get out of there, it's never $49. -we gonna fuck or what? what's the matter, man? what the fuck's the matter with you? hey, shut the fuck up. shut the fuck up, man! -shut the fuck up! you're a crazy fuckin' whacked-out freak! honey, stop. no, you're ovulating. it's okay. -i was fine. i was fine. it's okay. we're okay. let's just go to sleep. -probably make some friends. oh, hey... i thought you should see this. what is it? nicki's credit card. -oh no, nicki doesn't have a credit card. oh yes, she does. it was confiscated by the store when she tried to use the family discount. why was it confiscated? because it's maxed out. -what? i checked the activity on the card. don't ask me how i did it. i don't want to incriminate myself. no, i don't want to see it. -honey, i know you don't want to, but i think you need to. no, it's nicki's business. it's family business. a $6,700 credit limit? maxed out. -even after a payment of 3,000-some-odd dollars. nicki doesn't have $3,000 for a payment. well, somebody made it for her. no, not without telling me. bill wouldn't do that. -i'm just saying somebody paid it. this is what happens when a person in a family starts keeping secrets. well, we don't have secrets like that. really? two caesar salads. -enjoy. and your name, ma'am? nicolette grant. the last four digits of your social security number, please? um, 5642. -and your mother's maiden name? hallstrom. and how may i help you? i just wanna know that you've received the payment i sent. i'm sorry, miss grant, on which account? -which account? nicki! nicki! nicki? what are you doing? -nicki... you can't. you have no right! i have every right! these are my things! -are you out of your mind? you have no right to invade my privacy. well, do you have any idea what you're doing to us? to our family? when were you gonna say something? -when the creditors just came crawling all over us? you have a lot of nerve lecturing me about secrets. no, this is about this. how many credit cards do you have? five. -tell the truth. nine. how did you get nine cards? i don't know, they just kept sending them to me. one after another after another! -how much do you owe? 20,000. nicki? 58,000. $58,000. -why? i don't know. it's compulsive. i can't help it! does bill know the full amount? -bill doesn't know anything. he doesn't know a thing about it. well, how can he not know? he just paid $3,000 on it! no, he didn't. -my father did. oh, good night. bill knows nothing? i'm sorry. i am so sorry. -i don't even want to think about what bill's gonna say when he hears about all this. we can't tell him! barb, please, you can't tell him. please. you know i can't keep this from him. -how can i keep this a secret? but he'll kick me out. what are you talking about? he would never do that. what if he does? -i'm so scared. why didn't you tell me? i couldn't. oh, nicki. oh, it was beautiful! -the music, the little bit of reading at the end. oh, gotta love the scripture. "yea." i just love that. it's so excited, like, "hark, glad tidings." pammie drinks a bit too much from the cup of salvation. -"but woe unto him." - "woe." it's fun, huh? yes. lloyd and sue are having a reception for the musicians at their house. want to go? -okay. we have got a super ward. there's potluck and fireside for singles every tuesday. singles salsa. it works. -for us it did. really? then the society tutors at the reservation, and sunday night scripture studies. bet you didn't think you'd find all that here, did you? i don't know what i thought, what i expected, but-- -gotcha, huh? just kidding. converted. converted. seriously, why don't you come back for sacrament meeting tomorrow? -okay, so, del. yes, sir. tell me about yourself. where were you born? i was born here-- -del, sweetie. i need you to look right over here at the camera. okay. i was born here, and beth was born in ogden. uh, neither one of us had any desire to leave. -uh, i mean, why-why would you? this is, you know, a perfect place to grow up and to raise your family, and it's- it's wonderful. yeah, absolutely. okay, note. -cougar. says "byu" without saying "byu." no comment. um, i'm housewares manager for home plus. worked a slew of places before. -yeah, but home plus just fit in a lot of little ways. maybe it's because they grew up here, too. see? home-grown, home field advantage-local. like i told you. -um-- i think- i think we-- okay. had to do it. -it's a killer-- the temple. obviously not in the first angle. that would be cheesy, but the temple. gotta have the temple. do it over here, so you can stretch. -right there. good, you look really pretty. that looks great. okay, you got that? i just- -i love this family. they're just perfect. okay, so, del. say "home plus is us." home plus is us. -actually, look right at the camera and say that. i'm sorry. um, home plus is us. now, say it like you just thought of it. home plus is us. -good. all right, again. home plus is us. good. one more time. -home plu- sorry. that's okay. uh, home plus is us-- home plus is us. -again. again. home plus is us. excellent! that was good! -you gotta love 'em. it'll be great. splice it all together, it'll be perfect. uh, family: fun. utah: fun, huh? -fantastic. it's-- it's super. really. you okay? it's nicki. -is it about switching nights? 'cause it won't last forever, you know that. i know. i love you. i love you, too. -first new message. bill, i-i need to talk to you. get down! levelor, get-- next message. -oh, no. bill. will you- heaven, get back. don't you dare! -look out! crazy woman's got a gun! get away from there! get away from me! don't you touch me! -all right! back off! put it down! oh, lola, that's a good girl. just right here, lola. -that's a good girl, lola. evicted? yeah. nice of you to show up. i came as soon as i heard. -so what happened? what'd you do to tick off roman? oh no, you don't. it was you who got us dispossessed by the u.e.b. and i hope you haven't done anything to jeopardize my position in the community. -what position? this has nothing to do with me. keep trying to convince yourself of that while we sit in here and rot. we have been thrown out of our lives. whatever it is you've been fighting over, -i hope it's worth it. hey. thanks for coming out here. joey, what happened? they had bulldozers almost on top of our houses. -they were ready to tear them down with us in them if we didn't get out. they own those houses. they wouldn't destroy their own property. they tore down the statue of grandpa at founder's park, bill. and they made us watch while they jackhammered it. -i hate to mention this, but you know wanda's due this month, and, you know, i really don't want to have my baby in a motel, bill. i will not let that happen. here. what? uh, just so you have some cash on you. -go on. go on, take it. joey. hi, wanda. bill. -um, joey, would you get me an orange soda out of the machine? sure, babe. and something salty. okay. wanda, i promise you, you will not have the baby in this motel. -oh, i could give birth in a potato patch. i'd survive. it's joey i'm worried about. he'd never say it to you, but he sunk everything into that fish farm, and roman drained those tanks. oh, no. -and we owe the investors who backed us and believed in us, and-- and if, um... if joey cracks, if he falls apart... or if he falls off the wagon, i'm holding you responsible. oh, wanda. i knew it was you. mom. -joey turned the tv up too high, and i can't get the volume back down again. they gave us five minutes to clear out of there. they grabbed me. i fought. look. -look. oh, jeepers. bruises. hoo-hoo, i got 'em back good, though. but what about our houses, our things? -don't you worry, mother. we'll straighten this out in a hurry. now, sit down. just sit down here. he's just been waitin' for the right time to get rid of us. -joey told me what he did to the statue. it won't end there. next thing you know, he'll be diggin' up your grandfather's grave. and then your sister! i'm sorry, this is about me. -it's about me and roman and the stores. no, it isn't. it's 30 years of harassment. he's just trying to make like the henricksons never even existed. my daddy was the one true prophet, and roman grant is gonna burn in "h" for what he's done to us. -when do we turn the corner? when do we get justice? hi. did you take the roast out of the freezer? thank you, sweetie. -where have you been? oh, i just did some errands that i had to do. with dad? what? hi. -are they okay? no. hello? mr. henrickson? yes? -this is dan potts. security, down at the store. look, i hate to bother you, but... i was told to always call you before contacting the police. that's right. -what's wrong? well, we apprehended a burglar rooting' around in your office. he take anything? well, i'm not sure, but he sure made a big mess. did you get an id on him? -yes, sir, we did. his name's albert grant. put him on the phone. hello? i would have thought papa would have sent someone more capable. -certain connections, certain involvements... made known... you know, not good. understand? what are you saying? i'm just saying. you want me to call the police, mr. henrickson? -no. no no, it's not necessary. then you don't want to press charges? no. are you sure? -he broke in. let him go. what was that about? nothing. it's taken care of. -it's roman. i'm trying to get free. he says he's entitled to a piece of the second store. i'm fightingim, he's fightin' me back. i didn't want you to worry. -i'm gonna get a glass of milk. you okay? yeah, i'm fine. barb, it feels like... everything is spinning out of control. we can't keep doing what we're doing. -but i need you. you have me. and you have a family. we can't. no. -you're right. we can't. this is michael bluth. right now he's being honored by his family. three years ago, i made a choice to keep this family together... -uh, today looks like i succeeded. so why is this man crying? because now he'll have to stay with these people for a long, long time. days earlier, michael awoke to find his son in his bed. hey. -are you scared of a monster? kind of. it was the monster called lust, to which he'd recently succumbed. and there's a chance you might not even be related to us. and although he'd only gotten to second base, he'd gone in head-first like pete rose. -and they both got some distressing news. and there you are, maeby, coming out of your mother's third base. you guys really are related. and that night... you're not sleeping in here now. -yeah, you think that's a bad idea? what, i mean, so we can make out every night? does that... not work for your schedule? i mean, i'm sure we can control our, you know... i'm going to go sleep with my dad. -yeah, i'm going to go get my job back. you're probably just a little anxious because your old man is about to start running a successful company for a change. so pop-pop is definitely innocent, huh? no, not by a long shot, but they have dropped all the charges, and not just the iraq ones. the embezzlement, the pension-robbing... -i don't know why they dropped them, but they did. let's see if we are on mad money, huh? ...and they deliver insulin right to my door! it's probably on right after this ad. this is going to be great for us, too. -it's going to give us a chance to spend some time together, you know? it's like i don't even know what's going on in your life right now. are there any girls or...? actually... i've been wrestling with some pretty taboo... -shh-shh! do you hear this? they beat the treason charges! we had it as a "don't buy." let's bump it up to a "risky!" -risky! there it is! we're doing it, huh? are you happy? i'm really happy. -hey, i wonder if we should move out of town. what? i feel like we've heard this whole "out of the woods" thing a lot, you know, and-and i just wouldn't mind... what have i always said is the most important thing? family. -i was going to say breakfast, but... why don't we go over to gangee's, have a little of both. later we can talk all this out, huh? well, i've heard that a couple times, too. and so the family gathered for a celebratory brunch catered by a local restaurant. -hello! risky, risky, risky, risky! look at that, buster. you would've lost a hand anyway. i'd like to make an announcement. -we need to finish the party we started three years ago, finally name michael ceo of a thriving company. we'll prove to the world that nothing can tear apart the bluth family. in fact, i've already rented the same boat. oh, i'm not comfortable near the ocean since the seal attack. the ocean is my second biggest fear. -good, don't come. i need to be rubbing elbows, not working your fork. we'll find a new venue. oh, and before i forget, no magic, gob. where is gob? -oh, who knows? i don't even know where he lives. he doesn't live at michael's? i've always pictured him in a lighthouse. doesn't matter. -mom, i'm just really flattered that you're willing to do this. and i was half worried that you'd all be eager to sell your shares and cash out. w-we-we can do that? yeah, but... stan sitwell's always had a wild hair to buy this business. -it's the only hair he's got. what? he's an alpaca. he has alopecia. and, lindsay, you know, if we did sell, it would only mean, like, what, $2 million each? -$2 million, $2 million, $2 million... it sounds like a lot more than it actually is. you know, you've already spent $1,200 on eggs. and that would be it forever. keep in mind we are building something that is not only for our own kids; -it's also for george michael and maeby's kids, too. what? what? we can't have kids! what are you...? -i mean, it's not even an option, really. well, eventually, you'll want to. sure, i may want to, you know, now. i-it doesn't matter. either way, i won't do anything about it. -come on! michael's right, and i for one will not go back to wondering whether there's going to be enough food on the table. might want to worry about the table. it's fine for you to say "don't sell," but i'm going to be 40 in three years, you know? you know, being twins, our birthdays are pretty close to one another. -yeah, but a 40-year-old woman has as much a chance of getting married as she does of getting attacked by a shark. oh, i'm sorry. i thought you were going to say "seal." or a seal. oh, god! -lindsay, you have nothing to worry about. you're a beautiful woman. any man would be lucky to have you. michael had given this speech many times to lindsay. i'm a giant, fat pig. -i don't know why you say stuff like that. girls just grow faster than boys. dinner's ready. we're having lindsay chops. what? -i want her to be prepared in case some bully at school is as clever as i am. no bully ever would be. oh, let's not forget: you're already married. hey, mikey. y es? -i think i'm going to cash out myself and, uh, maybe go down to my little place in cabo. what little place in cabo, dad? what, did you build yourself a little hideout in case you needed to escape? of course not. well, i don't want you to worry, dad. -there's going to be plenty of money to be made from a business run honestly. oh... well, your mom's not going to allow for that. she'll do whatever it takes to get her way. you think the banana stand was our idea? it wasn't? -it wasn't. although they marketed the idea better, the frozen banana itself was the brainchild of a korean immigrant who threatened to sue them. your mother said she'd take care of it. the guy was deported to korea the next day. where his business never recovered. -you're trying to tell me that all your crimes, all your dishonesty-- she was behind it all? she's the queen, michael. i was her king, but now it's you. she may appear all sweet and innocent and light, but she has a way of, uh, controlling your behavior, and i'm concerned about you because i do not want to see... he'll be fine. -you'll be fine. michael went to cancel the reservation on the party boat buster so feared... gob! ...when he saw gob on a party boat of his own. you might want to untie these ropes first. -don't tell me how to flee, michael. what are you doing here? well, i... kind of live here. lighthouse wasn't far off. perhaps you can tell me how you can afford a boat. -you mean on the, uh, paltry $1,500 a week you give me? uh, i give you $500 a week. somebody's drawing a little "one" on those checks. no big deal. i plan on using my bluth company stock to pay for it. -sitwell's made me a pretty nice little offer. about that, gob-- you cannot sell now. i have to. gob, you're going to burn through this money and have nothing, all right? "you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a night. -if you teach a man to fish..." he'll want to use your yacht, and i don't want this thing smelling like fish. i'm burning through my future for it. but you wouldn't understand that because you're a robot. although i don't suppose you'd be willing to have the company buy it? -well, you can't let gob sell those shares. well, what am i supposed to do? he won't give up the yacht. just keep your weight off it. so lease it to him through the company. -yeah, that just doesn't feel right. oh, really? how would it feel to lose the company to a man who has less hair on his ( bleep ) than i have on my ( bleep )? it can't be worse than hearing that just was. i guess i couldn't see through the glasses, and i slid into the ladder... -give gob the boat. we need to show the shareholders at this party that the family is united. it's a very small concession to a important cause. and so michael sold out just a little. fine, i will give him the yacht. -hey, dad. hey, pal. well, you said we could... we could talk later. yeah. you excited about the party? -i actually might even just skip that. what are you talking about? this party is essential for the stockholders to see. i mean, we got to show them how close this family really is. and this was as good an opening as george michael was going to get. -maeby and i made out. i'm sorry? me, too. what-what do you mean, son? you kissed? -even a little more than that. i thought she wasn't my real cousin, but then uncle tobias showed us these really rough pictures that proved that she was really aunt lindsay's daughter. i just feel like i can't be around her or aunt lindsay. they were really rough... pictures. no, i remember their birth announcement like it was yesterday. -i mean, i know it's wrong, you know, but, uh, my feelings are real even... even if it was a mistake. well, obviously, acting on those feelings is not an option. she's a blood relative. i know. i've seen the blood. -now, how long has this been going on? i don't know... 53 weeks? i can't be around her with these feelings anymore, and that's why i'm-i'm not going to this party. and so michael made another compromise of his values for the sake of the business. whatever happened to that ann we were both so crazy about? -you know, maybe you can bring her to the party. yeah... ann is the girl for us. michael's sister, meanwhile, was doing some selling out of her own. ...i'm not going to sell my five percent, even though you haven't made an offer... which would be how much, by the way? -five percent? lucille actually gave you less than her natural children? i hope that's not a crack about my hair color, lips, forehead, nose and teeth. because at least i'm not wearing a rayon sweater set on my face. it's alpaca, actually. -cruelty-free really narrows your choices. but that's not what i meant when i said "natural child." wait a minute, you're saying... i'm adopted? i'm sorry. -i thought you knew. have i upset you? are you kidding me? this is the happiest i've been since the day i got my new nose! i'm not a bluth! -you were almost a sitwell, but 37 years ago, the bluths adopted you out from under us. so we said good-bye to you-- our darling little three-year-old... uh, wait, "three-year-old"? uh, you said it was 37 years ago. oh, yeah, right. -hey, we should do something for your 40th next week. this part of the news lindsay didn't take that well. be gentle! she's almost 40! maeby, meanwhile, had returned to tantamount studios, where word was, she was to be replaced when it was discovered she wasn't the age she claimed to be. -please don't fire me. fire you? are you kidding? i've already gotten ten requests for the tv rights to your story. you got to get your family to sign the release papers. -this is the biggest thing to happen since uniprod hired that wee-brain to run drama development. michael had compromised his morals, and was having trouble sleeping. of course, some of that was lindsay. are you drunk? a little. -we need to talk. yeah, i'll say. are you aware that your daughter and my son have been getting physical? i mean, can you imagine anything that inappropriate? whoa. -i guess you can. what are you doing? i'm not your sister. what? i'm adopted. -wait, lindsay... and i'm three years older. hey, there must be some mistake. no. mom confirmed it. -and i know you've always found me attractive. you've been telling me that for the last 40 years. wait, lindsay. this is crazy. if i don't get divorced and remarry in the next month, -i'm going to sell those shares, and i'm gonna cash out. so, what do you say? but even michael couldn't sell out that much. i'm just not that into older women. you bastard! -michael had just found out his sister was adopted. and the next morning, he awoke to a worse surprise. oh, come on. well, i can't sleep in the same room as her. she wants out of this marriage, fine. -i-i'm afraid i'm going to have to sell the bluth shares and move on. you can't do that. they're my shares. no, i mean, you can't spoon me like that. we need a new venue for the shareholders' party, and it cannot be a boat. -now, if you can find something, maybe i can fudge the books, get you a bluth company salary, huh? maybe call you an events coordinator. can we just lay here for a second while i think about it? michael was making compromises all over the place. sure. -i'll do it. sounds great. soon, george michael went to ann's to try to win her back. but her uncle paul told him that ann had moved in with her boyfriend. he also mentioned that we all only had three more weeks on earth, and that fossils were just something the jews buried in 1924. -and so, feeling that he couldn't go home, george michael decided to seek out his own creepy uncle, and michael confronted his mother about the adoption. look, she was better off with us. he wanted to call her nellie. of course. -lindsay is a nellie from the photo. why didn't you just tell people that she was adopted? adopting a child we didn't want just to stick it to a competitor. well, that'd make us look great. you're right, mom. -people would have twisted that story to make you look bad. i don't see what the big deal is. we loved her just as much as any of you normal kids. more than gob. the big deal, mom, is that the family is falling apart. -they're trying to sell their stock, and i can't promise you that i can keep everyone together until the party. we'll pay them off. we'll call it an accrued cash dividend, but they don't get their money until sign a document at the party promising not to sell for ten years. so, it's embezzlement, bribery and conspiracy? and a whole lot of love. -oh, yeah... oh, michael. hey. oh. i booked the perfect location and some wonderful performers for the party. -we're having it at the queen mary. queen mary? that's a ship! oh, no, no, no. it's a chain of popular nightclubs. -although i haven't been to this particular location. it's on the long beach harbor. that's the ship. buster, don't worry about it. they've actually welded it to the dock. -although, perhaps i should call the "hot cops" and tell them to come up with something more nautically themed. hot sailors. better yet, hot seam... i like hot sailors. -hmm. me, too. and george michael was about to come across a hot seaman of his own. uncle gob? what are you doing here? -how'd you find me? my dad said that you were living down here with your girlfriend. you know about her? who? ann. -her? gob had been dating ann since he awarded her third place in an inner-beauty pageant. since then, ann and her friends tried to teach gob about the holy trinity... what? i thought that's what all you guys lived for! -...while gob debased everything they believed in. what about you? you game? it's really not that big of a deal, george michael. i'm 18 now, and besides, we really haven't even done anything. -practically nothing. but what are you going to do? the girl obviously needs a man. and that's when george michael became one. ann was upset. -as was buster when he saw the ship where the party was to be held. and so michael accepted his congratulations, all the while looking for his son. and buster was approached by his loving father. do you think there's any chance this ship could break away from the dock? we're on a ship? -and maeby was trying to get the family to sign away the tv rights to their life stories. tv is not as good as it used to be, huh, uncle buster? but you can help me out by signing my petition to make it better. oh, i kind of like skating with celebrities. excuse me. -and lucille was trying to get signatures, too. sign here that you won't sell. oh, i don't need to sell, lucille. because now i know that we're not related, i'm going to marry michael. i always saw him with a younger girl. -and gob, angry at michael for sending his son to the docks... we're not related? ...went into a kind of knee-jerk revenge mode. why go for the best when you can go for the rest? of your life with a younger man? -kitty likes to scratch. mom! mom! take these forms to everyone in the family and promise them 100 grand if they sign. and that's how maeby found a way to get signatures on her release forms. -well, that was a freebie. and soon the crowd gathered to hear michael. i just want to say how much this family really means to me. my father has always been there for me. he's a great man. -my brother gob, who i know would never do anything to hurt anyone in this family. except for dating his nephew's girlfriend and hitting on his adopted sister. buster, who faced his biggest fear to be here today. second biggest. and my sister, lindsay. -yes, she is my sister, no matter what uh, any piece of paper says. lindsay and her husband, tobias. you know, deep down, they-they both love each other very, very much. most of all, my mother, who has always believed in me. uh, three years ago, i made a choice... -i made a choice to keep this family together. and that's when michael finally cried. uh, today looks like i succeeded. it wasn't exactly a turn-on. ( bleep ) baby. -it looks like george michael got his mom back today, huh? yeah, well, where is george michael, by the way? he came by the yacht, and gave me this shiner. he hit you? what for? -you know teenagers. probably lashing out at you because of who i'm dating. who are you dating? ann. her? -don't worry. i didn't fight back or anything. i was, like, "oh, no, take the yacht. please don't hurt me." you know, just build up the little guy's self-esteem. -the yacht? oh, for god's sake, gob. i've got to get off this ship. mom, george michael took off in gob's yacht. i got to go find him. -well, you can't go now. that's not going to look good in front of the investors. mom, this is important, okay? michael, this company is important. it was at that moment that michael realized how much he'd sold out. -never seen a ceo cry like that before. except at a sentencing. that's who you're putting in charge? i've made a huge mistake. will you take the company for 20% above market? -ten, and i'll take the company off your hands right now. 15, and i'll throw in nellie. she's 40. 12. meanwhile, michael searched the harbor and spotted the yacht. -and gob noticed something, too. are those police boats? oh, my god. it's the sec. they still have boats? -prepare to be boarded. did you do this? no. but i can't help but enjoy the irony that you might be losing three years off your life. ah. -this is why they dropped those other charges. you gave me up, george. george? i'm not george. george invited me. -oh, stupid. oscar, when are you going to learn there's no such thing as free shrimp? well, i know it was someone in this family. or someone who used to be. annyong? -annyong. annyong? annyong. but my real name is hel-loh. hello? -annyong. what the hell did you do this for? because my grandfather vowed one day he would get even for banana stand you stole from him. it was true. hel-loh had gathered information against lucille to avenge his grandfather. -hey, maeby ever mention my name? but lucille was not going peacefully. you boys know how to shovel coal? i don't even want to tell you what these guys thought that meant. and michael caught up with his son. -george michael, what are you doing? where are you going? i can't stay here. ann's moved on. maeby's my cousin. -and we both know that's not an option. buddy, maeby is not your cousin. what? yeah, i found out a couple of days ago. aunt lindsay was adopted. -why didn't you tell me this? because you can't be with maeby. you're 15, and so, inevitably, the relationship is gonna fall apart, and then, what do you do? i mean, she might not be a blood relative, but she is still family, and that's a bond that lasts forever. you don't want to rock that boat. -what the hell was that? it was his mother, who moments earlier had taken control of another queen. full steam, boys! this is degrading. i thought we were going to strip. -mother? oh. it's moving. it's moving. i've got to get off. -i've got to get off. and buster faced his second biggest fear. i can't swim. and then his first. oh, come on! -and the two grand ladies made their escape together. lucille bluth, please pull over and step away from the historic ship. i think gangee's trying to make a break for it. well, i guess we should go back. family sticks together, huh? -yeah. on the other hand, we do have a full tank of gas, a house in cabo, and 500 grand in cashier's checks. what say we give them no choice but to keep themselves all together for a while? it was arrested development. on the epilogue... -michael wakes up to another strange bedfellow after his first night at sea. how was the party? and maeby pitches her tv show to a hollywood icon who says... no, i, uh... i don't see it as a series. -maybe a movie. okay, so this is the story of five surgical interns... all of them fresh out of med school, all of them pretty smart, all of them very driven and all of them just maybe a little scared. of course, it's not always about the medicine. ugh! you have to go. -i'm late. which isn't what you wanna be on your first day of work, so... so, uh, you actually live here? you know what? we don't have to do the thing. oh. -we can do anything you want. no, the thing... exchange the details, pretend we care. good-bye... uh... derek. derek. right. -meredith. bye, derek. the seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. you will be pushed to the breaking point. look around you. -say hello to your competition. only 6 women out of 20. yeah. i hear one of them is a model. seriously, that's gonna help with the respect thing? -you're cristina, right? which resident are you assigned to? i've got bailey. the nazi? me, too. -you got the nazi? so did i? at least we'll be tortured together, right? i'm george. o'malley. -uh, we met at the, uh, at the mixer. you had on a black dress with a slit up the side and strappy sandals and... now you think i'm gay. uh, no, i'm not gay. uh-huh. it's... it's just that, uh... (miranda) o'malley, yang, grey, stevens. -that's the nazi? (george) i thought the nazi would be a guy. i thought the nazi would be... a nazi. maybe it's professional jealousy. maybe she's brilliant and they call her a nazi because they're jealous. -maybe she's nice. let me guess, you're the model. hi, i'm isobel stevens, but everyone calls me izzie. rule number one, don't bother sucking up. i already hate you. -that's not gonna change. your first shift starts now and lasts 48 hours. you're interns, grunts, nobodies, bottom of the surgical food chain. you run labs, write orders, work every second night until you drop and don't complain. no one holds a scalpel till i'm so happy i'm mary freakin' poppins. -if you make your resident look bad, she'll torture you until you beg for your mama. now get out there and don't let me catch you fighting over patients. stop. no. oh, mine. -no, i saw him first. what? katie's parents have questions. do you talk to them or do i ask burke? no, burke's off the case. -katie belongs to the new attending now... dr. shepherd.he's over there. unfortunately, on your first day, the surprises aren't always going to be... surgical. meredith, could i talk to you for a second? actually, i was... i'm not the girl in the bar anymore, and you're not the guy. -you took advantage of me and now you want to forget about it. i did not take... i was drunk, vulnerable and good-looking, and you took advantage. okay, i was the one who was drunk, and you are not that good-looking. maybe not today. last night? -last night i was very good-looking. i had my red shirt on, my good-looking shirt. you took advantage. i did not take advantage. you wanna take advantage again, say friday night? -stop looking at me like that. like what? like you've seen me naked. (preston) good afternoon, interns. as you know, the honor of performing the first surgery is reserved for the intern that shows the most promise. -george o'malley. me? congratulations. (man) he's gonna faint. he's a fainter. -nah, code brown, right in his pants. he's all about the flop sweat, gonna sweat himself unsterile. 10 bucks says he messes up the mcburney. $15 says he cries. i'll put $20 on a total meltdown. -$50 says he pulls the whole thing off. that's one of us down there, the first one of us. where's your loyalty? $75 says he can't even i.d. the appendix. i'll take that action. -okay, o'malley, let's see what you can do. (george) scalpel. (woman) scalpel. (cheering) (man) o'malley! -(preston) let's invert the stump into the cecum and simultaneously pull up on the purse strings. but be careful not to... break them. oh, man. you ripped the cecum. get out of the way! -pansy-ass idiot. get him out of here. he's 007. (man) 007, yeah. (man) yep, a total 007. -what's 007 mean? licensed to kill. maybe i should've gone into geriatrics. no one minds when you kill an old person. geriatrics is for freaks who live with their mothers and never have sex. -i have gotta get my own place. i'll work with you, but i don't want in on the surgery. you can have it. are you kidding? it's the biggest opportunity any intern will ever get. -i don't want to spend any more time with shepherd than i have to. what do you have against shepherd? you can't comment, make a face or react in any way. we had sex. dr. shepherd, you said that you'd pick someone to scrub in if we helped? -oh, yes, right. um, i'm sorry i can't take you both, but it's gonna be a full house. meredith, i'll see you in o.r. oh, screw you. i don't get picked for surgeries 'cause i slept with my boss. -there is a reason we don't sleep with the attendings. it's not her fault, he's the attending. he should know better. he's taking advantage of her. -what is your problem? um, you. 'cause apparently you can help dr. mcdreamy in ways the rest of us can't. you can't do me favors. -okay. i can take care of myself. look, i'm not being seen with you in this hospital. think of it as an attending getting to know one of his interns. he slept with the intern. -barely knew her. and it should stay that way. you want me to be professional? nice talking to you, dr. grey. -(izzie) why do you put up posters for roommates if you don't want roommates? i do want roommates. we're together 100 hours a week. you wanna live together, too? my mom irons my scrubs. -i have to get out of there. i can cook and i'm an obsessive cleaner. look, i'm sure you're very nice, but i'm very particular about who lives in my house and you're just not right. look, i'm quiet... no loud music, no parties. -where were you when the "challenger" exploded? the what? exactly. no. okay, fine, george and izzie, you can move into the house. -yes! i can't believe she caved! aah! george's room is bigger than mine. i got here first. -it's meredith's house.she should decide. i'm not riding in the same car with him. unless you're going like that, you're not riding with me. where are the tampons? he didn't buy them. -you didn't buy them? i am a man! i don't buy girl products. i don't want you walking in while i'm in the shower, and i don't want to see you in your underwear. do you like izzie? -is that what this is about? do you have a crush on izzie? n... izzie, no? i don't like izzie. she's not the one i'm attracted to. -not the one? so there's a one? this is not... you know, you're not the only one to put things off. i mean, i never do anything till the last possible minute. like what? -i've had this thing for my roommate since, like, day one, and i just... i can't tell her. you know, she probably wouldn't go out with me anyway, but how do know that for sure if i don't ever ask? seriously? you're equating your pathetic love life with my record-breaking tumor? seriously? -after dealing with all that life and death, where does a doctor go to unwind? they come to see me at my bar, right across the street from the hospital. i know that look. can only be one of two things... either your boss is giving you hell or your boyfriend is. which is it? -my boyfriend is my boss. this one is on the house. i'm not going out with you, i'm not dating you, and i'm definitely not sleeping with you again. you're my boss. i'm your boss' boss. -look, i'm drawing a line. the line is drawn. so this line... is it imaginary or do i need to get you a marker? male, 55, victim of a head-on collision. -mistakes... they happen. and imagine what happens with doctors who aren't that experienced. just one more reason i'm glad i'm a bartender. (meredith) i popped a glove. (preston) what? -i think i may have nicked her heart. your ass is on the line here, dr. grey. you've done this before, right? of course. -millions of times. 2 of ativan. he started seizing. how much sodium did you give him? 100 cc over 4 hours. -actually, doctor, you ordered 500 cc per hour over 4 hours. why didn't you do a follow-up? i gave you one thing to do. karev, it's over, it's done. you screwed up. -deal with it. we stole a body. the thing about being dead is people stop looking for you. you brought a textbook? yeah. -okay, got it. you sure? it's not like we can kill him twice. don't even tell me you're doin' what i think you're doin'. who here feels like they have no idea what they're doing? -morning, dr. model. dr. evil spawn. ooh, nice tat. they airbrush that out for the catalogues? -i don't know. what do they do for the 6-6-6 on your skull? i'd know you anywhere. you're the spitting image of your mother. (cristina)you know meredith is inbred? -like it's uncommon around here to be a doctor whose parents are doctors? no, really inbred.her mother is ellis grey. shut up. "the" ellis grey? who's ellis grey? el... the grey method? -where'd you go to med school, mexico? she was one of the first big chick surgeons. i mean, she practically invented the abdominal retractor. she's a living legend. she won the harper-avery, twice. -well, the ellis grey i know didn't have regards for anyone except ellis grey. but you know that already, don't you? where is she now? traveling. traveling? -yeah. huh. so we're kissing, but we're not dating? i have no idea what that was about. is it gonna happen again? -'cause if it is, i need to bring breath mints, (whispers) put a condom in my wallet. shut up now. well, well, well. dr. bethany whisper. -that's so nice. thank you. what? it's the chase, isn't it? what? -the thrill of the chase. i've been wondering to myself, why are you so hell-bent on getting me to go out with you? you know you're my boss, you know it's against the rules, you know i keep saying no. it's the chase. but it's fun, isn't it? -izzie. george. le... stop. (whistling and cheering) -shh. shh. shh. (whispers) we have bethany whisper in our locker room. (normal voice) oh, boy, i guess they do, uh, airbrush out the tattoo, don't they? -fine. let's look at that tattoo up close and personal, shall we? and what are these? oh, my g! breasts. -gather around and check out the booty that put izzie stevens through med school. you want to call me dr. model? that's fine. just remember that while you're sitting on 200 grand of student loans, -i'm out of debt. go! (cristina) come on. let's bag her. push epi and atropine. -somebody page burke. one and two and three... breathe. she's d.n.r. one, two, three... -she's d.n.r. do not resuscitate. dr. yang. come on, people. push another... do not resuscitate. -all right! it is on her chart. all right! let her go down. yea-ye... -let her go down. we have to let her go. just coffee. it's not the chase. what? -you and me... it is not the thrill of the chase. it's not a game. it's... (meredith) i'm still not going out with you. listen to me. -what? you should probably sneak inside now. we've done enough sneaking for the night. it was good sneaking, but enough sneaking. yeah, i'd say we're pretty good sneakers. -you mind moving this tail wagon? you're blocking me in. late night, grey? and while we're on the subject, you care to tell me what you think you're doing? look, i'll jump through hoops if you want me to, but what i do when i leave this hospital is my business. -half this hospital knows your business. i made a choice, and i know you don't respect me for that choice, so whatever else you got, bring it on. (all) eww! thanks for the coffee. (iranda) hey, there's a new surgical case coming up from the pit. -let's go. (ellis) watch it! hands off me! i could report you to the chief, and you'd be out on your ass! (cristina) patient's name is, uh... -where is the chief? complaining of intermittent cramping, pain and diarrhea. also suffers from... alzheimer's. (miranda) patient's name? -um... come on, yang. the patient's name. what the hell are you doing here? ellis grey. (george) meredith's mother. -george, take care of dr. grey. yes. she needs a friend right now. oh, you mean ellis, the... mother. -dr. grey. goddamn it, thatcher. i'm at work. i've already told you, i'm too busy to deal with you now. no more cartoons. -darling, i'm not in the mood to play doctor now. hands off. i'm busy. damn it, thatch, i mean it. no! -who's thatch? my dad. funny, you... you do look a bit like thatcher. but... i look like meredith's dad? it looks like you'll be able to go home today, ellis. -you should know, i'm thinking of leaving thatcher. i'll leave him, you leave adele. why don't you get her meds ready for discharge, nurse? thank you. ellis... that was a long time ago, remember? -we had this discussion 21 years ago. think about it, richard. we should make the break now. we could end up at opposite ends of the country. it'll be too late. -and if old flames aren't enough of a problem, there's always new flames to deal with. it's just that i hardly know anything about you. you know i'm from new york, you know i like ferry boats. enough with the ferry boats. what about your friends? -i'm a surgeon. i don't have friends. what are your grandparents names? i don't have grandparents. where did you grow up? -what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? what is your problem? we're having sex every night. i think i deserve details. and until i get them, my pants are staying on. -or you could just roll with it, be flexible, see what happens. i'm not flexible. ah, there, i disagree. we'll find these things out. that's the fun part, you know? -that's the gravy. you're using up my oxygen, o'malley. how does a pompous, cocky jackass like you always have women all over him? o'malley... you think too much. -can't you see it? you gotta dance and jab. dance and jab. like me. i am the ali of this place. -smooth moves, doctor. i kicked ass. this, uh, is george. george has a hot date. it's kind of located in a, you know, a private... -you're a doctor, george. it's called a penis. you have a rash on your penis? so? dude, you've got syphilis. -are you sure you know what you're doing? it's a shot of penicillin, george. be grateful i'm even doing this. i've already seen more of you than i ever wanted to. i cannot believe this. -meredith, go away! oh, george. i'm indisposed here. george, it's not a big deal. and you have a cute butt. -(alex) be my guest. wh... alex? hey. ah, what are we doing here? breaking george's spirit. -mr. franklin's procedure's been scheduled for after lu... what? ! oh, what are we doing? we are saving george from a future of festering sores and insanity. hmm. -cute butt. told ya. it is cute, like a baby's. (cristina) mm-hmm. you know, i have spent hours, days, years, imagining myself half naked in a room with three women. -the reality is so much better. where are we? shh. i'm gonna tell you. all right, my mother's maiden name... maloney. -i have four sisters. i have, um, nine nieces, five nephews. i like coffee ice cream, and i live in that trailer. so that's it. that's all you've earned for now. -the rest, you're just... just gonna have to take on faith. i really needed that. thanks. is this, uh... should we talk about this?

(joe) okay. -george, beer is dripping from your nostrils. told you i'd win. nothing you could say could top that. i'm pregnant. i win. -what are you gonna do? you know what happens with pregnant interns. i am not switching to the vagina squad or spending my life popping zits. i'm too talented. surgery's my life. -there are other options besides termination, you know? adoption. i know this is a difficult decision. okay, you know, the talking part? mm-hmm. -i'm not interested. you look nice today. wore my new lip gloss. 'cause my ex-boyfriend's wife looks like isabella freakin' rossellini and i'm, like... me. i'm trying to outdo her when she's the victim here. -how crazy is that? ex-ex-boyfriend? i'm an evil mistress. e.t.t.s. is usually impossible to correct unless you happen to be one of a handful of surgeons in the world who knows how to separate fetal blood vessels, which, luckily for you, i am. and dr. -grey will be back to check on you a little bit later. actually, i'd prefer it if dr. grey were taken off the case. you understand. no, no, i don't understand. -well, she's sleeping with your husband, right? ms. phillips... i lack dr. grey's class and patience, so let me set the record straight. my husband didn't cheat on me. i cheated on him. -so the wronged woman here... dr. grey. so, i think you owe her one hell of an apology. so i go upstairs and i step on a man's jacket that doesn't belong to me. -it's a jacket that i recognize. and what i know now is that when i go into my bedroom, i'm not just gonna see that my wife is cheating on me. i'm gonna see that my wife is cheating on me with mark, who happened to be my best friend. i left, i came out here. and you met me. -and i met you. it'll be years before i retire. chief of surgery is mine. chief of surgery is mine. it was yours, now i'm not so sure. -i am the best surgeon at grace with the lowest mortality rate. you can't just bring some guy in from... now ask me why i'm not so sure about you. you wanna be chief? you put the job first. hey, um, do you still have those reservations? -'cause i'm starving. cristina, i think there's something we should discuss. yeah. yeah, there is. it's pretty clear. -it is? we've been fooling ourselves, to think that we could continue like this without consequences. oh, you're ending this? it's nothing personal. he dumped me. -you realize this constitutes hugging? shut up. (cristina) what is she doing? she's hanging out with alex. why? -i think they might be friends. do another one. make the lambs stop screaming. (izzie) yeah, i know. i know. -you guys hate him. fine. yeah, we do. but i just want to say that... that he's different once you get to know him. izzie, would you like to go out with me tonight on a date? -you wear something gorgeous, i pay for food. are you making fun of me? i'm not making fun of you. okay, then. good. -good. yang? what? sorry. is my surgery interfering with your daydreaming? -no. cristina. cristina.

(alex) so, dude, what's the deal with izzie? she shaved her legs for you. -and? and you didn't even kiss her good night. she shaved her legs for you and you didn't follow through? hey, i follow through. i always follow through. -you didn't last night. mind your own business. dude, we're not moving. it's bad? how bad is it? -two interns and a g.s.w. to the chest. (man) it's all jammed up. we can't get it open. how's the patient? he's not looking so good. -you guys are gonna have to open up his chest. how are we doing? oh, can you move me to another room? the lights and the tv went out. power outage in the east wing. -they'll have it back on soon. god, well, what am i gonna do? you mean... without my porn? i'm sure you can find some normal way of amusing yourself. no, i need my porn. -you're really in pain. what do you think, i'm some kind of pervert, watching that stuff in front of you? well, yes. take these. alex, come on. -alex! (izzie) poor george. he doesn't have the steadiest hands. izzie. yeah. -he can hear you. o'malley... how you doin' down there? "oh, yes, i'm so very, very naughty," bianca said as she, uh, dropped her stethoscope. and then there was marta... -(sighs) where was i? marta. contact social services, see if we can get somebody down here to talk to 'em. look, do you need me for anything else work related? look, i was married for 11 years. -addison is my family. that is 11 thanksgivings, 11 birthdays and 11 christmases. and in one day, i'm supposed to sign a piece of paper and end my family? a person doesn't do that, not without a little hesitation. i'm entitled to a little uncertainty here. -just a moment to understand the magnitude of what it means to cut somebody out of my life. i'm entitled to at least one moment... of painful doubt. and a little understanding from you would be nice. i think i can feel his heart starting to fill more. it's beating a little stronger. -(preston) excellent. okay, now what? that's it. that's it? o'malley. -yes, sir. you just flew solo. way to go, george. i have my finger in a heart. very cool. -(meredith)dude, you lost youmojo. i have one off day... you chickened out. i hesitated briefly. why didn't you kiss izzie? -and now i'm leaving. i've never had a boyfriend. i've never even been kissed. alex... would you kiss me? for a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. -you want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head. you can't cheat your first kiss. trust me. what? because when you find that right person, the first kiss... is everything. -good night. seriously. so, uh, here's where we are. i work too much, i'm competitive, i'm always right. and i snore. -what? i'm trying here. so? okay, we're a couple. whatever. -don't make a big deal about it. look... i don't want someone who doesn't want me, meredith. but if there's the slightest chance that he does, i'm not leaving seattle. (meredith) your choice, it's simple... her or me. -ani'm sure she's really great, but, derek, i love you... in a really, really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you love you. so pick me. choose me. love me. -i'll be at joe's tonight. so if you do decide to sign the papers, meet me there. i actually said, "pick me. "pick me"? i think it's romantic. -it's not romantic, joe. it's horrifying. you think he'll show? hey. it is getting a little hard to watch. -it was hard to watch an hour ago. now it's just pathetic. who's pathetic? (man) joe, turn up the tv. a massive train wreck occurred... (joe) a train wreck... that'll empty a bar pretty fast. -(whispers) george. you're staying with her. yeah, she's my wife. (miranda) dr. shepherd, she's crashing. -you took the clinical skills section of your medical board exams after most interns, so the results are only now coming out. i failed the medical boards. if i tell izzie, she'll be nice about it, all supportive and optimistic. she might as well rip my nads off and turn 'em into earrings. what happens, uh if i take the exam for a second time and i don't pass? -you will no longer be a surgical resident at seattle grace. failing again is not an option. (izzie) well, do you feel like doing it tonight? well, i'm on call so... god, what is wrong with you? why do you have to be so... -what is wrong with you? ow. do you feel like doing it now? what, right now? people have sex in this hospital all the time. -(preston) it's a key. just a key? just a key. well, good. good. -or... you could start thinking about moving in with me. if it's me, just tell me it's me. it's not you. well, then is it a medical thing or... or a problem? because guys have problems sometimes. -i don't have a problem. this is where i live. i don't do laundry. i buy new underwear. i hired a maid once. -she ran away crying. still think living together is a good idea? let me ask you something. when we were together, it was good, right? (izzie) everyone answered their page except dr. -karev. where is he? we need everyone. uh, i don't know. he was on call last night. -he might be asleep. go find him. (izzie) he cheated on me. he cheated on me. he cheated on me with george's skanky syph nurse. -that is just plain rude! hell hath no fury like a girl whose non-boyfriend screws a nurse. bitch. how about here? does it hurt here? -yes, it does. okay, seriously, if you're that lonely, there are excellent vibrators. i can give you catalogues. he failed his boards. i'm helping him study. -you failed your practical? glad to know you can keep a secret, grey. i kept your secret, it didn't do you any good. he needs our help. what's going on? -are you mad, are you depressed, what? no, everything's fine. we're fine, addie, you know? just... i'll see you at home. okay? -(meredith) do you love her? i don't know. it's good that you're trying. you wouldn't be you if you weren't the kind of person who was trying to make it work. you think so? -yeah. it means i wasn't wrong about you. wake up. god, no wonder you failed your boards. what, do you expect to learn this stuff by osmosis? -why would you want to help me after what i did? because it's what jesus would freakin' do! double scotch,single malt. you're a good man. the way i see it, sometimes you get what you want in life... i'm not saying this to hurt you -or because i want to leave you, because i don't. meredith wasn't a fling. she wasn't revenge. i fell in love with her. sometimes you don't. -that doesn't go away because i decided to stay with you. and sometimes, well... sometimes you get something in between. meredith wasn't a fling. i fell in love with her. yeah, it's my mother. -she has alzheimer's. have you even told burke about the baby? i had a right to know. i failed the medical boards. that's embarrassing. -i'm pregnant, you blind moron. can we please just talk? you're too busy screwing nurses to talk. i never wanted to hurt you. i think we'd be better off with dogs. -holy... ow! i said, down! back! izzie! -izzie! incoming! just set your watch to january, i'm thinking about coloring my hair. maybe red. -yeah. red's good. i'm thinking about cutting mine. yeah? you look good shorter. -you think? yeah. who's a good boy? he's a good boy. what a good dog. -who's mommy's good boy? silly. yes, i know. you're a good boy. you're such a good boy. -what are you guys doing? we're gonna be late. we need to talk about the dog. that's no dog. it's a hyena dressed in dog clothing. -i don't chew his clothes, urinate on his bed or try to mount him from behind. people, he's our dog. we love our dog. he loves us. he tries to mount you from behind? -tries to. he tries to. bringing on the great tradition of new year's resolutions, i got a trout. oh! -rainbow trout. why bring a trout into the house? it's a trailer. why bring a rainbow trout into the trailer? breakfast. -breakfast. hungry? for trout? yeah. i hate this, derek. -ah! i hate this. hate! hate! i hate this trailer. -so no trout for you then? i'm standing there with pritchard and lewis, and they keep on asking me who i was with in the on-call room last night. they heard us. were we that loud? you're loud. -i am loud, aren't i? pritch. was always sticking his nose in someone else's business. you know i actually saw him again, at his wife's funeral? what? -pritchard isn't married. uh... oh, right, right. i'm thinking of someone else. just confused. -you need sleep. residency is wearing you down. ellis? yes? nothing. -i just hate being an intern. mm. me too. a chance to put the problems of last year to bed, mmm. -so in the name of the new year... i don't do resolutions. in the name of the new year, i thought you could give me an answer to my question. your question? -about you... moving in. i don't have an answer. cristina... i'm not being cristina. i just... -i don't have an answer. then answer me this. what were you planning to do? about what? the baby. -dr. burke? we're ready for you. new year, new rules. or should i say, new year, and we will be enforcing the rules mandated by the residency review committee. there were too many mistakes made last year. -fatigue played too big a role. exceeding 80 hours work per week will not be tolerated. does that mean we get to have a life? i think so. sullivan. -you were on call for 28 hours. leave when you hit 30. grey, you were here until two. see you at noon. i get to go? -free time? run before he changes his mind. our nurses are gonna have to work extra hours to compensate, so treat them well. cranky nurses don't do us any good. well, maybe you can cheer them up. -you know what? my new year's resolution was to let it go, and i am. i have. i've let it go. i apologize. -you do? i do. how did your test go? good, but i won't know for a few days. we're all pulling for you. -we are? we are. you can see the mesothelioma better now that i've partially dissected it. i can't see it from here. can i go in closer? -preston, good news. we have a heart for denny duquette. has he been called? i was worried we couldn't find a match in time. we have a plane to take you to twin falls, idaho for the organ recovery. -90 minutes each way. how much more do you have here? the heart comes out first. i'd be cutting it too close. no. -bailey. send bailey. she'll be our eyes. dr. yang, you need to leave this or. excuse me? -you've exceeded your 80-hour limit. you have to leave the hospital. ok. um... um... -as soon as the mesothelioma is dissected... dr. yang. now. you heard him. denny duquette. -hey, dr. bailey. i hope seeing you here means they found you a heart. no offense, doctor, but i'm not a big fan of hospitals. it takes something special to get me in here. what do we know about mr. duquette? -capricorn, single, loves to travel and cook... denny, be quiet. let her show off. denny duquette, 36, admitted today for a heart transplant necessitated by viral cardiomyopathy. -his heart can't fill and pump blood normally. good. denny, this is dr. stevens. she'll be tending to you prior to surgery. so i guess i'll be seeing you around, dr. stevens. -trying to get some action when he's practically a corpse. he was just being nice. no one enforced an 80-hour work week when i was an intern. 110, 120 hours suited me just fine. i learned more 'cause i worked more. -you get a rest before you have the baby. being pregnant, keeping up the pace... you saying i look tired? no. not tired. -no. you look... fresh, spry. you glow. what? o'malley, go do an intake on addison shepherd's patient. -addison. you do glow. like the moon. and you can spend the day in the pit, karev. dr. o'malley. -hi. mr. and mrs. singleton, rebecca, this is dr. montgomery-shepherd. you don't think it's cancer? bex is too young for cancer, right? i'm just getting up to speed. -i'm sorry. dr. o'malley? rebecca's... could you stop calling me that? she prefers bex. -not rebecca. bex has been admitted for an ultrasound guided biopsy on an enlargement of a pelvic lymph node. ok. bex, you mind if i check it out? ok. -i'll just, um... it's a minor procedure, bex, but we'll give you a local anesthetic to manage the pain. what are you drawing? just a dumb comic. it's big. -i know. it just appeared one day. i'll perform a biopsy this morning, and dr. o'malley will take blood so we can run some tests, and then we can start to get you some answers. ok? no need to panic. -i'll keep you posted every step of the way. thank you. ok. sorry about this, but i'm going to need that arm to get some blood. i'll be quick. -mr. paskowitz. we've located the source of your abdominal pain. there. it's called a bezoar. bezoar, huh? -foreign matter that couldn't be expelled with a prokinetic agent. i love it. in a hospital a laxative is a "prokinetic agent". you just go up his butt and grab it? baby. -please. we won't be able to reach it that way. we'll have to get it from here. so, mauer, tell me what you have been eating? garbage. -absolute garbage. could you be more specific? tell him what you ate, mauer. he's a writer. suffering for his art. -ok. he ate his novel. i'm sorry, what? i ate my novel, ok? the whole damn thing. -every last piece of that unmitigated crap. the labs for bex singleton. anything? her hormone levels, estrogen, progesterone, are sky-high. huh. -you did a history, right? any mention of birth control pills? no. but her parents were right there. talk to her again. -she hasn't hit puberty. she would be having sex? these days, dr. o'malley, it's not that unusual. talk to the patient. derek. -morning, richard. you busy? no, my surgery just got canceled. why? i need a favor. -sure. hey, bex. your mom and dad... food. great. -because i wanted to talk to you. your lab... the work... have you been taking birth control pills? if you tell my mom and dad... -no, i won't. i just need to know why. do you have a boyfriend or... like anybody would want to have sex with me. well, then why? -i'm as flat as a board. i took like five of those pills a day, and nothing's different. boobs, dude. you... were trying to make your breasts grow? i wanted to be normal for once in my life. -did this cause the tumor? no. the pill wouldn't have any effect on your lymph nodes. the amount that you were taking is really dangerous. and it caused a pretty major hormonal imbalance. -have you been feeling different? i feel like i always feel. hi. hi. you leaving? -80-hour limit. you? surgery was postponed. i have a dog. you have a dog? -my point is, i have a dog. you have a dog. oh, you know what? i love dogs. i've moved on, so don't give me that look. -what look? that look. our look. i'm over you. i'm over you too. -you are? no. oh. well, i am. over you. -i'm over you too. you just said... shut up. hi. bye. -there is a land called passive-aggressiva and you are their queen. i am fine. except when you shriek about trout. i was not. -you were shrieking about meredith. i was shrieking about the trailer. last three weeks have been about that? yes. not about saying i love meredith? -"loved." what? you said "loved." past tense. yes, past tense. well, then i have been shrieking about the trailer. -mauer, time to return your book to the library. surgery is in an hour. what's this sweat? probably nerves. but i'm sweating like nixon. -president richard milhous nixon. that guy could sweat. and i, mauer paskowitz, i wrote an epically crap novel, but i can sweat like nixon. it's not even that bad. -i read practically every draft. forgive me, but you are not lionel trilling. it blows. lionel trilling? he seeks the approval of dead critics. -the dead don't read. ever think about being something other than a writer? no. i am a writer. -mauer paskowitz. i have no plan b. we can't marry for three years until the book is done. three years i listen to him piss and moan for what? so he can eat the thing? -ha! your computer have a "delete" button? i wanted to literally put it behind me and start a new book. ok, we all get the symbolism. it's painfully obvious. -and obviously painful. hey. hi. i heard you were going to twin falls, idaho. i've never been. -you reached 80 hours? technically. you're off work, cristina. go enjoy your day. no, i'll enjoy my day if i can help retrieve a heart. -i promise. it's a nice coat. you see that, dr. o'malley? the tumor is compressing an ovary. yep. -that's why i biopsied both ovaries. is that bad? it's just a precaution, bex. apply pressure, dr. o'malley. mm-hm. -i'll get this to path. mind doing the dressings? all right, bex. then we'll get you the results just as soon as possible. you're a doctor. -haven't you seen scars before? yeah, i'm just trying to figure out why someone with so much talent would want to do that. it's just a comic book. it's about me and my best friend jenn when we were kids. satisfied? -does she write it with you? jenn has a boyfriend like everyone else. i get to be a freak all by myself. oh, a freak. that's not the easiest thing to be in high school, is it? -you sound like my shrink. hey, i wasn't always a doctor. in high school i was secretary and treasurer of the dungeons and dragons club. oh, man. yeah. -i was also a mathlete, and i won the blue ribbon in biology club. best fetal pig dissection. and let me tell you, that had the girls knocking down my door. you just have to get through high school. 'cause high school sucks for anyone who's the least bit different. -but then there's college, and then out in the real world, you'll find where you fit in. you think so? yeah, i know so. hi. denny. -i thought you were asleep. nah, i don't sleep in hospitals. i'm scared i'll never wake up. can i ask you something personal? if i say no? -i'll hold my breath which will stop my heart, killing me. you're here. you'll be charged with murder. lifetime in prison being loved by a big old girl named hilde. my choices are homicide charges or inappropriate personal questions from a patient? -i know. kinda sucks. hold your breath. i'll take my chances with hilde. i can do girl-on-girl. -oh! see, how can i blackmail you if you bring up girl-on-girl? what do you want to know? that guy alex... you with him? no. -not anymore. and never, ever again. good. good? yeah. -good. it means i won't have to fight him for you. why do you think i want you to fight for me? hello. you are in love with me. -am i? yeah, it's not your fault. i mean, i'm well-off, but i'm not into money. i'm smart, but i'm not a know-it-all. i'm funny. -i'm... i'm really nice. i love animals. and i'm hot. i'm a catch. -you know, if you can wrap your head around the enlarged failing heart and the dependency to iv meds. you're right. i am so in love with you. it's a shame really. since i'm with hilde and all. -there. five loads of laundry. i have literally washed the past out of my life. you paged me? have a look at this. -it's bex's biopsy. biopsied ovary? not exactly. arrange a meeting with bex's parents, george. find the psychiatrist, if they're available. -does she have cancer? no. that's not an ovary. it's a testis. a testis? -are you sure? yes. i'm sure. bex is a hermaphrodite? yes. -yang? why are you staring at my fat pregnant belly? sorry. i... let me get this straight. -you're telling me that our daughter, you're telling me my daughter might actually be a boy? that... how is that possible? i don't understand. i don't understand how... shouldn't this have been detected? -externally, bex has female genitalia. she looks like a girl, but internally she has both female and male sex organs. so, what now? what are we supposed to do? i don't understand. -so physically, bex is going to be just fine, but emotionally, psychologically, i strongly recommend therapy. for all of you. this is not gonna be easy for bex to hear, and it's not gonna be an easy adjustment for you to make. what kind of adjustment? my poor girl. -many intersex people begin to identify very strongly with one sex. and it's not necessarily the sex they've been raised. she's a girl. she looks like a girl. she has always been a girl. -this at least helps explain why she feels so different. the point is, biologically and emotionally speaking, she has a choice to make. a choice? chewing paper will have that effect. -pins and needles. no, needles and pins. needles and pins. yeah, yeah. sprouting from my fingers and toes like... -like... lord god, give me a simile. is he always this way? the man ate a novel. he's not exactly normal. -but he got weirder the more he ate. he's, like, obsessed. i'm dr. webber. i'm gonna be performing your surgery today. i poured my heart and soul into that freaking book, and now it's stuck up my ass. -put that on my tombstone, audrey. on my tombstone. hey, dr. stevens. hey, denny. you ok? -i've been waiting for this a long time, you know? you'll open my chest, take my heart and replace it with another. well, not me. and not another heart, a better heart. what if something goes wrong? -don't be nervous. dr. burke is an incredible surgeon. you're getting a new heart today. keep thinking of that. yeah. -ok. denny. preston burke. my favorite cardiothoracic surgeon. your only cardiothoracic surgeon, but thanks. -i'll be on the phone with dr. bailey during the organ recovery. we want to make sure the heart stays viable, isn't damaged while the other organs are perfused. we'll have you in the or, and if it is a go, we start the procedure before she even gets back. hey, lzzie. yeah? -i'm getting a new heart. you're getting a new heart. i'll see you. bye. mary and i were talking, and we think bex should stay... -she can't handle something like this. you saw the scars. you're not gonna tell her? but this could help her. you can't not tell her who she is. -dr. o'malley. we'll proceed with surgery to remove the tumor. you can talk to your daughter in your own time. actually, we were thinking... we thought, since you're already going to be in there... -we know "fixed" isn't the right word but... keep her more of a girl. you're asking me to perform sexual reassignment surgery on her? without her knowing? she doesn't feel normal. -why can't we put an end to her agony? removing her male sexual organs may not do that. it could do the opposite. but her hormones... can be controlled with oral medication. -we just want the best for bex. to do surgery and alter her body permanently is... i would not do that on someone who's unaware of the procedure, and you're gonna be hard-pressed to find a surgeon who will. bex will learn the truth some day. how do you want her to find out? -excuse me. meredith. hi. hi. i had the morning off, so i came to see my mother. -she's in the sitting room. thanks. she's in good spirits. visitors really cheer her up. visitors? -there is a clinical trial to study early-onset alzheimer's. ok, me you can screw with. my mother? no. not acceptable. -similar studies have had promising results. your mother is a prime candidate. she is sick and has few good days. i don't want her poked and prodded for some experiment. i'm just trying to help. -what you're doing? being dreamy? it doesn't help. it hurts me. it messes with my head. -i know the feeling. i don't doubt that. but you have a wife to go home to. and i'm guessing she has no idea where you are right now. no, she doesn't. -that's what i thought. thanks. dr. burke? the donor is on 25 mics of dopamine. 25 mics? -that's too much. they started him on five mics of dobutamine 30 minutes prior to arrival. are they trying to kill my heart? what is the cvp? cvp? -ten. map close to 80. close to 80. i can live with a cvp as low as five and a map about 60. that heart must be off dobutamine. -the heart must be off dobutamine. and tell them to get the dopamine back down to ten mics. we a go, doc? still no final word. i want the healthiest heart i can find. -dr. stevens, you'll be in there with us, right? yeah. i'll be in there with you. aren't you supposed to be having free time? oh, i did five loads of laundry, cut my split ends, studied, cleaned out the fridge. -free time sucks. when would have been the right time to hear about your boyfriend's wife? ok, are you mad at me or something? no. no. -sorry. i have this patient, and i get that there's a right and a wrong time to hear big news, but wouldn't you rather know sooner than later? i mean, just so you can move forward one way or the other. i mean, it's a fresh start, right? now we can mobilize the lateral border of the left colon. -clamp. when leo tolstoy here wakes up you might get him to revisit the idea of a new vocation. hopefully it was just delirium. if it's all right, i'd like to keep an eye on him post-op. he was acting strange. -he ate a novel. clearly, he's strange. it's just, i don't want to overlook anything. seriously, karev. i'm short-handed all over the hospital. -ok, here we go. anybody here tempted to read this? no takers? could be the great american novel. we'll never know. -he needs a plan b. i thought i passed the first time. well, let's wait and see. right now, today, you're still here. did you tell my parents about the pill? -no. am i gonna die? is that what no one wants to tell me? of course not. then why are my parents acting so... -will you just tell me what's going on? we're prepping you for surgery to remove the lymph node tumor that's compressing your... ovary. hey, bex. how are you doing? -mom, dad, this is really freaking me out. oh, no. everything's gonna be fine. it's ok, sweetie. i'm having surgery to remove a tumor that's compressing my ovary. -right, george? dr. o'malley. george? what, am i supposed to lie to her? ok. -that's enough. please leave the room. wait. tell me what's wrong with me. what is wrong with me? -we learned that your tumor... it's not compressing an ovary. then where is it? it's on a testis. like a testicle? i have testicles? -one. bex, this is a tremendous amount of information... and i've had it my whole life? oh, my god. does this mean? -does this mean i could be a boy? you engineered that conversation. forced our hand. you were lying. protecting her. -she's a 14-year-old girl. maybe. maybe not. this isn't your life. this isn't your child! -fourteen years. fourteen years, we have raised a daughter. in one afternoon, you expect us to... what? what is bex to do? -how is she supposed to go home and tell the other kids? what? you had no right. no. i know. -i'm off the case, right? whoa, mauer. mauer. lay back. you just had surgery. -you're losing your shirt, man. how you feeling? what's whacked for 20, alex? weeds whacked weeds. weeds whacked for 200. -way, way whacked. i think i can get her into the trial. she's a perfect candidate. excellent. thank you, derek. -it requires meredith's power of attorney. yeah. might be better if it comes from you. with me, there's baggage. you? -you're just trying to help out a friend. right. right. let me know if meredith wants me to call. karev? -what are you doing? research on the bezoar patient. i told you i needed you on the floor. he has fever, sweats, tingling lips, fingers, toes, mood swings, lack of coordination and did i mention the crazy talk? your point? -my point is, he ate his novel. i know. mercury is in the paper. he's got mercury poisoning. cristina, call burke. -i'm feeling some fairly extensive damage from coronary artery disease. um... talk to me, bailey. i can't talk. i'm waiting on a call from bailey. -i'm with bailey. you're in idaho? yeah. you're breaking the rules, yes. -preston. what's happening with our heart? hello, dr. webber. tell me what i need to know about denny's heart, dr. bailey. thank you. -this program derek looked into was a favor to me. nice try. sometimes a favor is just a favor. this treatment won't cure your mother or give her a new lease on life, but it may give her more good days. i urge you to consider. -lying here trapped in this flesh prison, i've reached a grim conclusion. i'm a failure. you know how that feels? dude, if you only knew. even my manic attempt to put my failed novel behind me failed. -time for a plan b, i reckon. time indeed. perhaps i shall play the cello. well, we make a mistake here, and people die. happens all the time. -all the time? there's a lot. is this part of the hallucination? my point is we all have setbacks, mauer. but i'm a doctor, and you're a writer. -we don't have a plan b. call security. have you determined a course of treatment for the mercury poisoning? the patient has been administered a chelator called british antileukocyte which will absorb the mercury over the next several days. good work, doctor. -yang. know what's wrong with having an 80-hour limit? it protects the weak. it levels the playing field. which not only sucks, it's dangerous. -eighty-hour work week? that's what's on your mind? i thought about it. not keeping it. you did? -my husband and i, we tried for years. but still, when that stick turned blue... you can't work the way we work, you can't want the kind of careers that we want and not take... pause. i took pause. you paused? -i paused. i paused a very long time. so why did? i sat up one night, middle of the night... and i knew i could do this. i still don't know how i'm gonna do this, but... -i knew i could do it. you just have to know. and when you don't know, then no one can fault you for it. you do what you can, when you can, while you can. and when you can't, you can't. -you're stalking me. you're a stalker. well, can you blame me? so it's bad? you have time. -liar. fine. there's no time. now, that's just spiteful. i didn't get the heart? -you didn't get the heart. hey, george. hey, i just... i just wanted to check in on you. heard my parents weren't too happy with you. -nope. thanks for telling me. for making them tell me. you know, um, there are people that you can talk to. i can... -i know. george, do i have to be a boy now? no. no. but i can if i want to? -yeah, you can. if you want. hey, could you? would you bring me some scissors? derek. -hi. t ell me about the program. it's not a day on a calendar, not a birthday, not a new year, denny. i'll see you. -goodbye, dr. stevens. hey. he's leaving? didn't get the heart. sorry. -yeah. he's a good guy. yeah. he is. something that changes us, -ideally, it gives us hope, a new way of living and looking at the world, i'm cooking the trout outside. thank you. oh. -there is a land called passive-aggressiva... and i am their queen. that's all i'm saying. so what? with meredith... -am i supposed to just wait it out? wait until it passes? that'd be good. i still hate the trailer. as is your right. -i wasn't gonna have it. the baby. and you don't get to be mad about that. we barely knew each other. i was an intern. -there was no way... i'm not mad. you're not? no. i just wanted to know. -i want to know things. you don't eat laundry. bad dog! bad dog! bad! -okay, so this is the story of five surgical interns-- all of them fresh out of med school, all of them pretty smart, all of them very driven and all of them just maybe a little scared. of course, it's not always about the medicine. you have to go. i'm late. which isn't what you wanna be on your first day of work, so-- -so, uh, you actually live here? you know what? we don't have to do the thing. oh. we can do anything you want. -no, the thing--exchange the details, pretend we care. good-bye... derek. derek. right. -meredith. bye, derek. the seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. you will be pushed to the breaking point. look around you. -say hello to your competition. only 6 women out of 20. i hear one of them is a model. seriously, that's gonna help with the respect thing? you're cristina, right? -which resident are you assigned to? i've got bailey. the nazi? me, too. you got the nazi? -so did i? at least we'll be tortured together, right? i'm george. o'malley. uh, we met at the, uh, at the mixer. -you had on a black dress with a slit up the side and strappy sandals and... now you think i'm gay. uh, no, i'm not gay. it's--it's just that, uh-- o'malley, yang, grey, stevens. that's the nazi? -i thought the nazi would be a guy. i thought the nazi would be... a nazi. maybe it's professional jealousy. maybe she's brilliant and they call her a nazi because they're jealous. -maybe she's nice. let me guess, you're the model. hi, i'm isobel stevens, but everyone calls me izzie. rule number one, don't bother sucking up. i already hate you. -that's not gonna change. your first shift starts now and lasts 48 hours. you're interns, grunts, nobodies, bottom of the surgical food chain. you run labs, write orders, work every second night until you drop and don't complain. no one holds a scalpel till i'm so happy i'm mary freakin' poppins. -if you make your resident look bad, she'll torture you until you beg for your mama. now get out there and don't let me catch you fighting over patients. stop. oh, mine. no, i saw him first. -what? katie's parents have questions. do you talk to them or do i ask burke? no, burke's off the case. katie belongs to the new attending now--dr. -shepherd. he's over there. unfortunately, on your first day, the surprises aren't always going to be... surgical. meredith, could i talk to you for a second? actually, i was-- -i'm not the girl in the bar anymore, and you're not the guy. you took advantage of me and now you want to forget about it. i did not take-- i was drunk, vulnerable and good-looking, and you took advantage. okay, i was the one who was drunk, -and you are not that good-looking. maybe not today. last night? last night i was very good-looking. i had my red shirt on, my good-looking shirt. -you took advantage. i did not take advantage. you wanna take advantage again, say friday night? stop looking at me like that. like what? -like you've seen me naked. good afternoon, interns. as you know, the honor of performing the first surgery is reserved for the intern that shows the most promise. george o'malley. me? -congratulations. he's a fainter. nah, code brown, right in his pants. he's all about the flop sweat, gonna sweat himself unsterile. 10 bucks says he messes up the mcburney. -$15 says he cries. i'll put $20 on a total meltdown. $50 says he pulls the whole thing off. that's one of us down there, the first one of us. where's your loyalty? -$75 says he can't even i.d. the appendix. i'll take that action. okay, o'malley, let's see what you can do. scalpel. scalpel. -o'malley! let's invert the stump into the cecum and simultaneously pull up on the purse strings. but be careful not to... break them. oh, man. you ripped the cecum. -get out of the way! pansy-ass idiot. get him out of here. he's 007. 007, yeah. -yep, a total 007. what's 007 mean? licensed to kill. maybe i should've gone into geriatrics. no one minds when you kill an old person. -geriatrics is for freaks who live with their mothers and never have sex. i have gotta get my own place. i'll work with you, but i don't want in on the surgery. you can have it. are you kidding? -it's the biggest opportunity any intern will ever get. i don't want to spend any more time with shepherd than i have to. what do you have against shepherd? you can't comment, make a face or react in any way. we had sex. -dr. shepherd, you said that you'd pick someone to scrub in if we helped? oh, yes, right. um, i'm sorry i can't take you both, but it's gonna be a full house. meredith, i'll see you in o.r. oh, screw you. -i don't get picked for surgeries 'cause i slept with my boss. there is a reason we don't sleep with the attendings. it's not her fault, it's shepherd's. he's the attending. he should know better. -he's taking advantage of her. what is your problem? um, you. 'cause apparently you can help dr. mcdreamy in ways the rest of us can't. you can't do me favors. -okay. i can take care of myself. look, i'm not being seen with you in this hospital. think of it as an attending getting to know one of his interns. he slept with the intern. -barely knew her. and it should stay that way. you want me to be professional? nice talking to you, dr. grey. why do you put up posters for roommates if you don't want roommates? -i do want roommates. we're together 100 hours a week. you wanna live together, too? my mom irons my scrubs. i have to get out of there. -i can cook and i'm an obsessive cleaner. look, i'm sure you're very nice, but i'm very particular about who lives in my house and you're just not right. look, i'm quiet--no loud music, no parties. where were you when the "challenger" exploded? the what? -exactly. no. okay, fine, george and izzie, you can move into the house. yes! i can't believe she caved! -george's room is bigger than mine. i got here first. it's meredith's house. she should decide. i'm not riding in the same car with him. -unless you're going like that, you're not riding with me. where are the tampons? he didn't buy them. you didn't buy them? i am a man! -i don't buy girl products. i don't want you walking in while i'm in the shower, and i don't want to see you in your underwear. do you like izzie? is that what this is about? do you have a crush on izzie? -n--izzie, no? i don't like izzie. she's not the one i'm attracted to. "not the one"? so there's a one? -this is not-- you know, you're not the only one to put things off. i mean, i never do anything till the last possible minute. like what? i've had this thing for my roommate since, like, day one, and i just-- -i can't tell her. you know, she probably wouldn't go out with me anyway, but how do i know that for sure if i don't ever ask? seriously? you're equating your pathetic love life with my record-breaking tumor? seriously? -after dealing with all that life and death, where does a doctor go to unwind? they come to see me at my bar, right across the street from the hospital. i know that look. can only be one of two things-- either your boss is giving you hell or your boyfriend is. which is it? -my boyfriend is my boss. this one is on the house. did i ask you to go out with me? i'm not dating you, and i'm definitely not sleeping with you again. you're my boss. -i'm your boss' boss. look, i'm drawing a line. the line is drawn. so this line...is it imaginary or do i need to get you a marker? male, 55, victim of a head-on collision. -mistakes... they happen. and imagine what happens with doctors who aren't that experienced. just one more reason i'm glad i'm a bartender. i popped a glove. what? -i think i may have nicked her heart. your ass is on the line here, dr. grey. you've done this before, right? of course. millions of times. -2 of ativan. he started seizing. how much sodium did you give him? 500 cc over 4 hours. actually, doctor, you ordered 500 cc per hour over 4 hours. -why didn't you do a follow-up? i gave you one thing to do. karev, it's over, it's done. you screwed up. deal with it. -we stole a body. the thing about being dead is people stop looking for you. you brought a textbook? okay, got it. you sure? -it's not like we can kill him twice. don't even tell me you're doin' what i think you're doin'. who here feels like they have no idea what they're doing? morning, dr. model. dr. evil spawn. -ooh, nice tat. they airbrush that out for the catalogues? i don't know. what do they do for the 6-6-6 on your skull? i'd know you anywhere. -you're the spitting image of your mother. you know meredith is inbred? like it's uncommon around here to be a doctor whose parents are doctors? no, really inbred. her mother is ellis grey. -shut up. "the" ellis grey? who's ellis grey? el--the grey method? where'd you go to med school, mexico? she was one of the first big chick surgeons. -i mean, she practically invented the abdominal retractor. she's a living legend. she won the harper-avery, twice. well, the ellis grey i know didn't have regards for anyone except ellis grey. but you know that already, don't you? -where is she now? traveling. traveling? so we're kissing, but we're not dating? i have no idea what that was about. -is it gonna happen again? 'cause if it is, i need to bring breath mints, put a condom in my wallet. shut up now. well, well, well. -dr. bethany whisper. that's so nice. thank you. what? it's the chase, isn't it? -what? the thrill of the chase. i've been wondering to myself, why are you so hell-bent on getting me to go out with you? you know you're my boss, you know it's against the rules, you know i keep saying no. it's the chase. -but it's fun, isn't it? you see. george. stop. we have bethany whisper in our locker room. -oh, boy, i guess they do, uh, airbrush out the tattoo, don't they? fine. let's look at that tattoo up close and personal, shall we? and what are these? oh, my god! -breasts. gather around and check out the booty that put izzie stevens through med school. you want to call me dr. model? that's fine. just remember that while you're sitting on 200 grand of student loans, -i'm out of debt. go! come on. let's bag her. push epi and atropine. -somebody page burke. one and two and three...breathe. she's d.n.r. one, two, three... she's d.n.r. -do not resuscitate. dr. yang. come on, people. push another-- do not resuscitate. -all right! it is on her chart. all right! let her go down. yeah-ye-- -let her go down. we have to let her go. just coffee. it's not the chase. what? -you and me-- it is not the thrill of the chase. it's not a game. it's... i'm still not going out with you. listen to me. -what? you should probably sneak inside now. we've done enough sneaking for the night. it was good sneaking, but enough sneaking. yeah, i'd say we're pretty good sneakers. -you mind moving this tail wagon? you're blocking me in. late night, grey? and while we're on the subject, you care to tell me what you think you're doing? look, i'll jump through hoops if you want me to, but what i do when i leave this hospital is my business. -half this hospital knows your business. i made a choice, and i know you don't respect me for that choice, so whatever else you got, bring it on. thanks for the coffee. hey, there's a new surgical case coming up from the pit. let's go. -watch it! hands off me! i could report you to the chief, and you'd be out on your ass! patient's name is, uh-- where is the chief? -you're all amateurs! complaining of intermittent cramping, pain and diarrhea. also suffers from... alzheimer's. patient's name? -yang. the patient's name. what the hell are you doing here? ellis grey. meredith's mother. -george, take care of dr. grey. yes. she needs a friend right now. oh, you mean ellis, the... mother. dr. grey. -goddamn it, thatcher. i'm at work. i've already told you, i'm too busy to deal with you now. no more cartoons. darling, i'm not in the mood to play doctor now. -hands off. i'm busy. damn it, thatch, i mean it. no! who's thatch? -my dad. funny, you--you do look a bit like thatcher. but... i look like meredith's dad? it looks like you'll be able to go home today, ellis. -you should know, i'm thinking of leaving thatcher. i'll leave him, you leave adele. why don't you get her meds ready for discharge, nurse? thank you. ellis... that was a long time ago, remember? -we had this discussion 21 years ago. think about it, richard. we should make the break now. we could end up at opposite ends of the country. it'll be too late. -and if old flames aren't enough of a problem, there's always new flames to deal with. it's just that i hardly know anything about you. you know i'm from new york, you know i like ferry boats. enough with the ferry boats. what about your friends? -i'm a surgeon. i don't have friends. what are your grandparents names? i don't have grandparents. where did you grow up? -what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? what is your problem? we're having sex every night. i think i deserve details. and until i get them, my pants are staying on. -or you could just roll with it, be flexible, see what happens. i'm not flexible. ah, there, i disagree. we'll find these things out. that's the fun part, you know? -that's the gravy. you're using up my oxygen, o'malley. how does a pompous, cocky jackass like you always have women all over him? o'malley...you think too much. can't you see it? -you gotta dance and jab. dance and jab. like me. i am the ali of this place. smooth moves, doctor. -i kicked ass. this, uh, is george. george has a hot date. it's kind of located in a, you know, a private-- -you're a doctor, george. it's called a penis. you have a rash on your penis? come on. so? -dude, you've got syphilis. are you sure you know what you're doing? it's a shot of penicillin, george. be grateful i'm even doing this. i've already seen more of you than i ever wanted to. -i cannot believe this. meredith, go away! oh, george. i'm in disposed here. george, it's not a big deal. -and you have a cute butt. be my guest. wh--alex? ah, what are we doing here? breaking george's spirit. -mr. franklin's procedure's been scheduled for after lu-- what? ! oh, what are we doing? we are saving george from a future of festering sores and insanity. -cute butt. told ya. it is cute, like a baby's. you know, i have spent hours, days, years, imagining myself half naked in a room with three women. the reality is so much better. -where are we? i'm gonna tell you. all right, my mother's maiden name--maloney. i have four sisters. i have, um, nine nieces, five nephews. -i like coffee ice cream, and i live in that trailer. so that's it. that's all you've earned for now. the rest, you're just... just gonna have to take on faith. i really needed that. -thanks. is this, uh... should we talk about this? yeah, definitely. when we started dating, i was already kind of seeing someone. -i didn't know how much i'd like you, and when i realized, i broke it off with the other guy and-- other guy? who's the other guy? you and alex? -you and alex? you gave me syphilis! george! george! let me fix your collar. -meredith, i am so sorry. hi, i'm addison shepherd. shepherd? and you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband? meredith. -go away. just wait. we should discuss this. here's a thought--no. quit following me. -at least let me explain. explain? you know when you should've explained? the night we met in the bar, before any of the rest of it. i know how you feel. -do you? somehow i doubt that, because if you did, you would shut up and you would turn around and go back inside because you would realize that i am this close to getting in my car and running you down in the parking lot! if you came out here to try to win me back, you can forget about it. i did. -i flew all the way across the country to reminisce over wedding photos, get drunk, fall into bed and make you realize you can't live without me. relax. i'm here for work. here's the thing about hospitals and the people who work in them, the complications are not just surgical. let's play a game of whose life sucks the most. -i'll win. well, you don't want to play with me. oh, i do. i'll even go first. derek's married. -george, beer is dripping from your nostrils. told you i'd win. nothing you could say could top that. i'm pregnant. i win. -what are you gonna do? you know what happens with pregnant interns. i am not switching to the vagina squad or spending my life popping zits. i'm too talented. surgery's my life. -there are other options besides termination, you know? adoption. i know this is a difficult decision. okay, you know, the talking part? i'm not interested. -you look nice today. wore my new lip gloss. 'cause my ex-boyfriend's wife looks like isabella freakin' rossellini and i'm, like... me. i'm trying to outdo her when she's the victim here. -how crazy is that? ex-ex-boyfriend? i'm an evil mistress. t.t.t.s. is usually impossible to correct unless you happen to be one of a handful of surgeons in the world who knows how to separate fetal blood vessels, which, luckily for you, i am. and dr. grey will be back to check on you a little bit later. -actually, i'd prefer it if dr. grey were taken off the case. you understand. no, no, i don't understand. well, she's sleeping with your husband, right? ms. phillips... -i lack dr. grey's class and patience, so let me set the record straight. my husband didn't cheat on me. i cheated on him. so the wronged woman here--dr. grey. -so, i think you owe her one hell of an apology. so i go upstairs and i step on a man's jacket that doesn't belong to me. it's a jacket that i recognize. and what i know now is that when i go into my bedroom, i'm not just gonna see that my wife is cheating on me. -i'm gonna see that my wife is cheating on me with mark, who happened to be my best friend. i left, i came out here. and you met me. and i met you. it'll be years before i retire. -chief of surgery is mine. chief of surgery is mine. it was yours, now i'm not so sure. i am the best surgeon at grace with the lowest mortality rate. you can't just bring some guy in from-- -now ask me why i'm not so sure about you. have you even bothered to tell burke about the baby? you wanna be chief? you put the job first. hey, um, do you still have those reservations? -'cause i'm starving. cristina, i think there's something we should discuss. yeah. yeah, there is. it's pretty clear. -it is? we've been fooling ourselves, to think that we could continue like this without consequences. oh, you're ending this? it's nothing personal. he dumped me. -you realize this constitutes hugging? shut up. what is she doing? she's hanging out with alex. why? -i think they might be friends. do another one. make the lambs stop screaming. yeah, i know. i know. -you guys hate him. fine. yeah, we do. but i just want to say that-- that he's different once you get to know him. izzie, would you like to go out with me tonight on a date? -you wear something gorgeous, i pay for food. are you making fun of me? i'm not making fun of you. okay, then. -good. good. yang? what? sorry. -is my surgery interfering with your daydreaming? no. cristina. cristina. let's get her out of here. -there's a patient on the table. lift. good, good, good. dr. bailey, when you get her stabilized, i need a report, please. -dr. bailey. right, dr. burke. it was an extrauterine pregnancy. the tube burst. she's bleeding out. -she doesn't want to be touched. how come you haven't gotten on your broomstick and gone back to new york where you belong? stop being petty. stop being an adulterous bitch. you know you are going to forgive me eventually, right? -i mean, you can't just-- i mean, there was a time where you thought of me as your best friend. there was a time where i thought you were the love of my life. things change. divorce papers? -the ball's in your court. if you sign, i'll sign. i'll sign and be on the first plane out of here. i'll sign them immediately. i want you out of here as soon as possible. -derek, have you ever thought that even if i am an adulterous bitch that i still might be the love of your life? meredith, she gave me divorce papers. well, that's good. all i have to do is sign, and i'm free. we're free. -is there anything to think about? no, of course not. i have to read through them, sign, and then addison's on the next plane outta here. i had a good time. i gotta go. -seriously? seriously? so, uh, thanks for, you know, being there. no thanks needed. okay. -so where are we? uh, the north east corner of the hospital. oh, i'm--i'm getting back on my feet. fine. that doesn't mean that-- -cristina. it's my first day back. i've got-- i'm not waiting forever. i'm glad we're doing this. -me, too. want a drink? i'll get it. i'll get it. you didn't sign the divorce papers. -fine, i get it. end of discussion. meredith... what? what is that? -hey, stop it. seriously? seriously. this is a very small bed. i look fantastic. -i shaved my legs. he's a brain surgeon. how can he be so brainless? hello! seriously. -seriously. dr. bailey... henry lamott, age 42, is scheduled with dr. shepherd for a spinal implant to control the pain of his herniated disk. is allergic to all pain medication. is that... -porn. porn? as in porn? we can't have porn in here. this is a hospital. -it's for my pain. my doc says it releases endorphins in the brain. that does not look comfortable. trust me, it's not. get in the hall. -hey, izzie. izzie. hey, doll face. i was gonna ask you a favor. no. -you haven't even heard what i'm-- no. no. no. what's up with you? -she's really mad at you. so, dude, what's the deal with izzie? she shaved her legs for you. and? and you didn't even kiss her good night. -she shaved her legs for you and you didn't follow through? hey, i follow through. i always follow through. you didn't last night. mind your own business. -dude, we're not moving. it's bad? how bad is it? two interns and a g.s.w. to the chest. it's all jammed up. -we can't get it open. how's the patient? he's not looking so good. you guys are gonna have to open up his chest. how are we doing? -oh, can you move me to another room? the lights and the tv went out. power outage in the east wing. they'll have it back on soon. god, well, what am i gonna do? -you mean... without my porn? i'm sure you can find some normal way of amusing yourself. no, i need my porn. you're really in pain. -what do you think, i'm some kind of pervert, watching that stuff in front of you? well, yes. take these. alex, come on. alex! -poor george. he doesn't have the steadiest hands. izzie. yeah. he can hear you. -o'malley...how you doin' down there? "oh, yes, i'm so very, very naughty," bianca said as she, uh, dropped her stethoscope. and then there was marta... where was i? -marta. contact social services, see if we can get somebody down here to talk to 'em. look, do you need me for anything else work related? look, i was married for 11 years. addison is my family. -that is 11 thanksgivings, 11 birthdays and 11 christmases. and in one day, i'm supposed to sign a piece of paper and end my family? a person doesn't do that, not without a little hesitation. i'm entitled to a little uncertainty here. just a moment to understand the magnitude of what it means to cut somebody out of my life. -i'm entitled to at least one moment... of painful doubt. and a little understanding from you would be nice. i think i can feel his heart starting to fill more. it's beating a little stronger. excellent. -okay, now what? that's it. that's it? o'malley. yes, sir. -you just flew solo. way to go, george. i have my finger in a heart. very cool. dude, you lost your mojo. -i have one off day... you chickened out. i hesitated briefly. why didn't you kiss izzie? and now i'm leaving. -i've never had a boyfriend. i've never even been kissed. alex... would you kiss me? for a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. you want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head. -you can't cheat your first kiss. trust me. what? because when you find that right person, the first kiss... is everything. good night. -seriously. so, uh, here's where we are. i work too much, i'm competitive, i'm always right. and i snore. -what? i'm trying here. so? okay, we're a couple. whatever. -don't make a big deal about it. look... i don't want someone who doesn't want me, meredith. but if there's the slightest chance that he does, i'm not leaving seattle. -here it is. your choice, it's simple-- her or me. and i'm sure she's really great, but, derek, i love you... in a really, really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you love you. so pick me. -choose me. love me. i'll be at joe's tonight. so if you do decide to sign the papers, meet me there. i actually said, "pick me". -"pick me"? i think it's romantic. it's not romantic, joe. it's horrifying. you think he'll show? -it is getting a little hard to watch. it was hard to watch an hour ago. now it's just pathetic. who's pathetic? joe, turn up the tv. -a massive train wreck occurred... a train wreck... that'll empty a bar pretty fast. george. you're staying with her. yeah, she's my wife. -dr. shepherd, she's crashing. you took the clinical skills section of your medical board exams after most interns, so the results are only now coming out. i failed the medical boards. if i tell izzie, she'll be nice about it, all supportive and optimistic. she might as well rip my nads off and turn 'em into earrings. -what happens, uh, if i take the exam for a second time and i don't pass? you will no longer be a surgical resident at seattle grace. failing again is not an option. well, do you feel like doing it tonight? well, i'm on call so... -god, what is wrong with you? why do you have to be so-- what is wrong with you? okay, well... do you feel like doing it now? what, right now? -people have sex in this hospital all the time. it's a key. just a key? just a key. well, good. -good. or... you could start thinking about moving in with me. if it's me, just tell me it's me. it's not you. well, then is it a medical thing or--or a problem? -because guys have problems sometimes. i don't have a problem. this is where i live. i don't do laundry. i buy new underwear. -i hired a maid once. she ran away crying. still think living together is a good idea? let me ask you something. when we were together, it was good, right? -everyone answered their page except dr. karev. where is he? we need everyone. uh, i don't know. he was on call last night. -he might be asleep. go find him. he cheated on me. he cheated on me. he cheated on me with george's skanky syph nurse. -that is just plain rude! hell hath no fury like a girl whose non-boyfriend screws a nurse. bitch. how about here? does it hurt here? -yes, it does. okay, seriously, if you're that lonely, there are excellent vibrators. i can give you catalogues. he failed his boards. i'm helping him study. -you failed your practical? glad to know you can keep a secret, grey. i kept your secret, it didn't do you any good. he needs our help. what's going on? -are you mad, are you depressed, what? no, everything's fine. we're fine, addie, you know? just--i'll see you at home. okay? -do you love her? i don't know. it's good that you're trying. you wouldn't be you if you weren't the kind of person who was trying to make it work. you think so? -yeah. it means i wasn't wrong about you. wake up. god, no wonder you failed your boards. what, do you expect to learn this stuff by osmosis? -why would you want to help me after what i did? because it's what jesus would freakin' do! double scotch, single malt. you're a good man. the way i see it, sometimes you get what you want in life... -i'm not saying this to hurt you or because i want to leave you, because i don't. meredith wasn't a fling. she wasn't revenge. i fell in love with her. sometimes you don't. -that doesn't go away because i decided to stay with you. and sometimes, well... sometimes you get something in between. transcript : raceman synchro : raekwon -it's only natural our prime ministers visit yasukuni shrine. i mean, they should; it's their duty. the heroes who fought and died for their nation are enshrined there. it wouldn't be right if japan's leaders didn't pray for them. u.s. presidents visit arlington and nobody complains about it, do they? -what? did you say japan caused other asian nations to suffer during world war ii? don't be ridiculous. japan's battles motivated the... european colonies in asia to have courage and fight for their independence. -japan had its own sense of justice it served. to begin with, how could you call what the u.s. does a fight for justice? when they fought japan... their military bombed tokyo and osaka and killed 900,000 civilians... then dropped nuclear bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki to kill 300,000 more. that's a total of 1,200,000 non-military citizens. it's an outrageous act of massacre. -they more than just ignored the international law. i guess they thought it was okay to kill as many yellow monkeys as they wanted. their war against iraq makes no sense either. they say they can't let terrorists get a hold of the weapons of mass destruction... so they will demolish the hussain administration. that's not a legitimate reason to wage a war against an autonomous nation. -why should japan send its self-defense army to serve in such a ridiculous war? it's not because we wish to contribute to an international cause. we're being an apple polisher for the u.s., supporting the war just to please them. japan wants the u.s. to protect her in case of emergency. so, we're obligated to send our forces to a war that has nothing to do with us. -well, listen, i'm not trying to make things sound complicated. it's really quite simple: japan should have an army. both north korea and china have their missiles aimed at japan, don't they? japan should arm itself with enough military power against them. -we should defend our own nation. see how simple it is? it isn't going to do japan any good to be a servant to a war monger like the u.s. it's not that i want to talk bad about the u.s. i hate the wars the u.s. starts, but i like a lot of things about their culture: -hamburgers... rock... hollywood movies... especially... george a. romero, a genius. zombie defense army zombie jieitai what's that? -martians vs. cyborgs what's what? wow. it's a ufo. far out! -hey, what's that? that. oh, it's a ufo. hey, look! guys, look, it's incredible! -a ufo over fujiyama. japan's mystery. it can't be. hey, kenzaki... what did you want me to come out here for? -i hope boss knows what you're doing. oh, a ufo. what? where? idiot! -falling for a stupid trick. brother... what? there's a ufo for real. huh? -hello? she's already booked for the 5th. excuse me, let me fix something. hello? sorry, i'm on location in the primitive forest now... and the reception's bad. -hello? hello? what? what's that? you're kiddin'. -for real? hey, akemi, come take a look. there you go again, trying to change the subject. yes. what's goin' on? -captain, could it be an airplane crash? an airplane? it's a ufo, a flying saucer, an alien spaceship. we all saw it, didn't we? minato, contact headquarters. -roger. there have been ufo sightings all over the world. captain, let's go to the crash location. we'll have first contact. this is the kibara platoon engaged in exercise. -headquarters, come in. we must take care of the corpse first. this is the kibara platoon engaged in exercise. this is the kibara platoon engaged in exercise. headquarters, come in. -what's wrong? headquarters isn't responding. what's going on? i'm not sure. i don't like it here. -i might dig up someone we've killed before. stop complaining and get on with it. nothing like shooting up after a murder. delicious air, a nice view... nothing like it. -a hung corpse is a minor scare. there's a much more horrible story about this primitive forest. like what? when world war ii was about to end... a young general refused to surrender... to the enemy and committed harakiri in a cave in this forest. they say his ghost still wanders. -people still see it. at one point the military collected the body of the general kidota. but some cult group stole it... place it back in the same cave and worshipped it as some kind of deity. please stop it. hayakawa, that's enough. -all your talk about ufo's and ghosts. but captain, you saw the ufo too. then, why can't ghosts exist too? it's only an unidentified airplane. ghosts exist. -i've seen them repeatedly. then, will this hung corpse become a ghost too? captain. what? this is the kibara platoon engaged in exercise. -headquarters, come in. headquarters, come in. sakomizu! it's too late! his artery's been cut! -he's dead. am i doing too much heroin? it's crazy. i must be hallucinating. harada returned to life. -stop kidding. brother, you're not hallucinating! i can see him too. shut up already! did you steal my heroin? -it hurts. how dare you, you bastard! a yakuza with a finger cut off isn't cool these days! damn it, hiroshi, where are you going? i'm not finished with you about stealing my heroin. -what family are you hoodlums with? were you ordered to assault me, kenzaki of the shichu group? i've had enough already. i'm afraid of falling down and being bitten by weird bugs. i like that face. -like a fairy flying in the primitive forest. it's great. now, let's take the jacket off, shall we? hey, hurry up. i'm sorry. -excuse me, let me fix her hair. that spray stinks! i'm sorry. mr. nishiyama, i don't like her. fire her. -hitomi, please be reasonable. hey, stop it already! i'm sorry! i'm sorry! you look pretty when you're angry too. -okay, hitomi, stay there and slowly turn toward the camera. what? who's that? oh, excuse me... we're having a photo shoot. -can you please step aside? ms hitomi... something's wrong with those people. i said, you're in the way. we've got to run. -i know, but my legs are paralyzed! so, you quit being a salary man and now run a resort inn with your wife. what a happy picture. but i'm left alone. i can't imagine living without you, mr. yamada. -i love you. i really love you. oh no, what are you doing? don't be unreasonable. you see, i borrowed money from... my wife's parents to put down payment for this building. -so, things aren't that simple, you know. so what? i went to the hospital. i'm four months. you mean, it's mine? -it must be a girl. i think i'll name her tamami. listen... if you don't leave your wife and marry me... i'm gonna sue your ass! -you can't. i'll tell them you exploited your position as my superior... and forced me to sleep with you. i'll squeeze money out of you for psychological damage and child support... and ruin your life. that sounded awful. akemi, are you all right? -akemi? hey, akemi, hang in there! akemi! she's dead. don't come near me, monster! -i'm not a monster. and you? you're human too, aren't you? are you all right? help me! -monsters... monsters are after me! if you help me, i'll do anything you want. do whatever you want with me. i'll be your lover. hey, calm down. -they say the corpse of general kidota never rotted. he must have died with such a strong grudge. if he died in a wind cave his corpse might have turned into wax. sometimes body fat can turn into fatty acids like soap, and never rots. it's his grudge. -science can't explain everything. a corpse that never rots... the corpse we saw seemed like it returned to life too. a living corpse... yuri, what's wrong? -i have a little headache. i'd better hurry before my wife returns. i gotta hide her somewhere. don't look at me like that! i have no choice, do i? -it isn't easy for a couple to break up. please stop it, akemi. you're scaring me. i lost my keys. what? -akemi, are you still alive? i'm sorry, akemi! i was gonna take you to the hospital! it's true! i wasn't thinking of discarding your body! -you're scaring me again! no violence, please! i'm sorry, akemi! sorry, akemi! sorry! -sorry! i'm sorry, akemi! so sorry! what have i done to deserve this? i fooled around with such a terrible woman. -hey, i think you're lost. we should be near a highway. i'm tired. piggyback me. you can't be serious. -but i'm wearing heels. i can't walk any more. you said you'd help me. all right. here. -what a wimp. hey, help! the procedure with lost civilians? rescue. roger. -are you all right? everything sucks. monsters attacking me, we're lost... and he's useless. are you talking about me? monsters? -could you possibly be... you're hitomi! do you know me? yes, i have your cd. i'm your fan. -i'm flattered! you're gonna protect me, aren't you? of course, it's my job. i still would if it weren't. did you say monsters just now? -who are you? why the hell is there a woman in the self-defense army? female officers aren't anything new. but i'd like to hear about the monsters. they're people-eating monsters. -everyone got killed. i saw them too. the dead come back to life and attack people. captain. i can't believe it. -they're zombies, captain. that crashed ufo is causing a zombie phenomenon. how non-scientific. you all saw one minutes ago. that hung corpse too, it must have turned into a zombie. -we must contact headquarters first. there's a civilian inn down this way. we'll use their phone. i can't walk. you don't look like you're hurt. -what, you got a problem with that? not really. then, please get on my back. there. let's go. -mr. hayakawa, you're so kind. you're strong too, like a man i can depend on. that tickles. so, that's what he's really like. a sci-fi and horror fanboy... and a pop star fanboy on top of that. -hey, mr. hayakawa. yes. are you friendly with that woman? what? you mean yuri aso? -not at all. i just met her during this exercise. i really only know her name. she seems mean. i agree. -she seems kind of cold. she could... learn something from you. yeah? are you coming on to me? yes. -oh no, i'm not. damn it, she's making a fool out of me. what do you think? about the zombie phenomenon? i think it's ridiculous. -but you believe in ghosts, don't you? no way. believing in them and being scared of them are two different things. sure, it's far from being scientific to think the dead can come back to life. well, that's not necessarily so. -there are scientific possibilities that the dead may revive. by turning it into a cyborg, for instance. that sounds just like hayakawa's sci-fi talk. like "martians vs. cyborgs". are you all right? -is your headache bad? no, it's nothing. quick, before my wife returns, i must discard her somewhere. the self-defense army? why are they having an exercise here? -are they coming this way? that's a problem. i think i saw someone. i wonder if they'd let me take a bath. i don't feel good with the blood on me. -let's go and see. it's sticky. yes, i'm coming. we're a platoon engaged in exercise. our radio broke. -would you mind letting use your phone? you must be inconvenienced. please go ahead. i wanna take a bath. oh, a bath? -sure. oh, you're covered with lots of blood. are you hurt? but it's not my blood. your face is stained with blood too. -but while the 599 may be ferrari's latest artwork, it's also a masterpiece of aerodynamic engineering. thousands of hours have gone into designing a sports car that's not only beautiful, but can cheat the air almost as well as ferrari's formula-1 race cars. in essence, the 599's body shape is the opposite of an aircraft wing. at high speed, its streamlined body creates negative lift, using the airflow over and through it to press the car to the road. the down force means more secure road handing and far better traction out of corners. -but the ferrari's streamlined body needs strong support. if you want to put a formula-1 race car on the street, you need a chassis that can take the stresses of high speed and high performance. made entirely of aluminum alloy, the 599's chassis needs to be strong enough to do three things: it has to be able to withstand high-speed impacts, it has to anchor the 230kg v12 engine, which produces a tremendous amount of torque and power, and the chassis also has to provide a strong mount for the wheel assembly and suspension. -at high speeds, the wheels of a sports car go up and down like a jackhammer, so ferrari has equipped the 599's chassis with super-tough suspension mounts. high-strength adhesives and meticulous hand welding make the joints in this chassis as strong as the original metal. regular cars' chassis are put together by machines, but high performance sports cars like the 599 are hand welded. this means the chassis can be more exactly shaped, and the body panels more precisely fitted. with the 599's chassis now welded and the first of its body panels attached, it's time for one of the factory's robots to take over. -it operates like a gigantic stapler. the robot is programmed to precisely drive 1 80 rivets at specific points on the chassis. the rivets give the car the muscle to hold itself together at 330-plus kilometers an hour. each time these jaws snap, they punch a high-strength rivet through up to three layers of solid aluminum. but the chassis can't move on down the line until it's passed a rigorous test. -for this, another robot comes into play, one equipped with needle-like probes. the probes test the chassis in 800 different places. at each of these points, they touch the metal. when they do this, they're measuring the body against a computer model, searching for tiny cracks in the metal or any flaw in the chassis' overall shape. if a flaw is detected, the chassis is sent back, but that only happens to one in every hundred. -there's an important reason for this insistence on perfection: any flaw in a component of a high-performance sports car can create a "ripple effect", and the flaw can magnify through all the other components dependent on it. at high speeds, the stresses on the chassis could turn cracks into fissures, and compromise the car's structural integrity. after an exhaustive examination, the robot arms rise for the last time. the 599's metal skeleton is now ready to receive the rest of its sculpted body panels. -back in the foundry, the engine casts are complete. seven minutes later, they've cooled enough for the sand moulds to be removed. there's nothing too high-tech about this process! the compressed sand is simply shaken off the solidified metal. the high-performance specs of the 599 require engine parts that are perfect, so powerful x-rays scan the cast components, -looking for any microscopic cracks or flaws in the metal. the slightest vibration from a defect in the finished engine would be magnified at high speed. in the worst case scenario, the engine itself could fail. components that pass the x-ray test are hand finished, then, they're checked again. -it's no surprise that ferrari foundry workers feel they're making more than just an engine. we create the soul, and then someone else adds the organs to make it live. in the body shop, metal becomes art as the 599's sleek outer shell meets its chassis. when anyone thinks of a ferrari, you think of two things in particular: one, the motor, immense power, the sound, the growl of it, and second, the external beauty of the ferrari. -like its chassis, the ferrari's body panels are aluminum. it may be the most powerful production car the company's ever made, but its fully-aluminum construction means it's also one of the lightest. the 599 has more power propelling less car. workers fix the doors, bonnet and boot to their precision hinges and align them to a tenth of a millimeter. from this point on, it's all about art, creating a finished body that's as close to flawless as possible. -the body shop's specialists check for trouble spots, dents or flaws, no matter how small. to the people at ferrari, this is no longer a car. it's a sculpture. in a sealed plexiglas room, where no speck of dust can interfere with its final inspection, the 599 is given the thumbs up to move out of the body shop. we have to guarantee the perfect shape, the unique finishing, consequently the perfect paint job. -the unfinished fiorano 599 then takes its next step towards the finish line. this is ferrari's 21 st century paint shop, one of the most advanced of its kind in any car factory in the world. the environment is a high priority for this paint shop. most materials are water-based, and nearly all waste is captured and recycled. formula-1 racers don't have to worry about rust, but the 599 is built for the streets. -before it can be painted, every 599 car body receives an anti-corrosion treatment like this. ferrari claims it's the most advanced rust-proofing in the world: a claim that's hard to test, because the chemical process used here is a trade secret. the one-tone bodies are plunged, tipped, and shaken. every one of these giant baths chemically alters the metal of the car's body, creating a super-thin armour against the elements. -these anti-corrosion baths also give the 599's body a positive electrical charge, something that's vital to the next stage of the painting process. at the end of this tunnel lies the heart of the paint shop. it's a glass-walled, hermetically-sealed place, populated by graceful robots and their human controllers. the chambers are sealed to avoid any air draughts that might cause the tiny particles of primer and paint to drift and create an uneven finish. this first coat is a primer, a special compound that binds the actual paint to the body. -the primer is a dust, as fine as talcum powder, which sticks to the body because of the electrical charge the metal was given earlier. the robots are programmed to spread the particles of primer into a layer about as thick as a human hair. the body then glides into a giant oven, which bakes the primer, fusing it onto the metal, and providing the foundation layer for the final paint finish. every stage of a ferrari's construction is about beauty and power. the 599's power is its v12 engine, created in the engine works. -the engine blocks and cylinder heads cast in the foundry are now fine-tuned to an almost microscopic degree. meanwhile, other workers turn out the rest of the engine's 800 parts. ferrari's engine works is an architectural triumph. natural light floods in through a glass roof. this is not only environmentally efficient, but it also provides better light for the workers. -and in the centre of the engine works is a small forest of trees growing indoors. these trees help maintain the ideal humidity and air quality levels for engine construction. they're also here to ensure the workers' comfort. this factory is rated as one of the best places to work in italy. ferrari workers don't see themselves as part of a production line, rather as craftspeople, building a handmade product. -my passion is to make ferraris. i think i've made a part of the motor of every single vehicle that you see on the road, and every time i see a ferrari, i feel pride in my heart. inside that motor is a part of my heart. at every step of a ferrari's creation, they sign off on their work. i am, and we all are, absolutely responsible for what we build. -we certify what we do so it can be traced back to us. throughout the engine works, ferrari's metal workers are machining the most detailed components of the v12 engine. italians have a reputation for being some of the most skilled metal workers in the world. this tiny valve is only one of the 599 engine's 800 components, but it alone takes nearly an hour to make. -while the emphasis in the engine works is on hand crafting, there are two very special robots here. the first is a robot called romeo and juliet. these two arms are romeo, giving juliet a ring, but this is no ordinary ring. it's actually the valve seat in the engine's cylinder. -it forms a seal through which the valve moves, allowing air into the chamber, where it mixes with the fuel and explodes. with the valve moving in and out thousands of times a second, the valve seat has to be tight, immovable in fact. if it came loose, it could enter the engine and cause complete failure. romeo dips each valve ring into a bath of liquid nitrogen, freezing it to minus 180 degrees and shrinking it by a tiny amount. juliet holds the cylinder head while romeo sets the valve ring in place. -the first is a practice run, to check the exact position of the two components. laser sensors make minute adjustments, then romeo places the valve ring. in the following few seconds, the frozen ring warms and expands. it's now locked in place. the second of the engine works' two robots has to fine-tune another critical component: the crankshaft. -the power generated by the 599's engine is transferred through the crankshaft, to the transmission, to the driveshaft, to the wheels, and then to the open road. at top speed, the 599's crankshaft is spinning over 100 times a second. if it failed, the pistons attached to it would shoot through the engine block and destroy the engine. the crankshaft is the heart of the motor, therefore every tiny operation needs to be as precise as possible and as perfect as possible. -when it's spinning at over 8,000rpm, any imperfections could cause the crankshaft to become unbalanced and create potentially destructive vibrations throughout the entire engine. the robot drills, shaves and grinds the crankshaft, until it's perfectly balanced. removing excess metal also improves the engine's performance. the less the crankshaft weighs, the easier it is to make it spin, and the faster it spins, the more power the engine generates. eight hundred separate components have been made, fine-tuned and checked in the engine works. -from its birth from molten metal in the foundry, the 599's engine is about to be assembled into its final form. while the engine works builds the power, the paint shop adds the beauty for which ferrari is famous. the final coats of paint are applied. unlike the primer, the paint is liquid. tiny droplets spin out from the tips of these robot arms. -their movements have been precisely programmed using computer models. the robots apply exactly the right amount of paint to achieve a perfectly even surface. you just have to look at the lines of the car, the effort we put in producing the best paint job that it's possible to produce. after the paint comes an ultra-tough clear ceramic layer. the smoothness and the quality of the clear coat that we put on the car, it's a ceramic clear coat, very hard, very shiny and it's very durable. -the clear ceramic coat provides extreme scratch resistance, something you want when you're spending 200,000 euros on your car. though 12 colors are standard, 599 owners can order the car in any color they choose. the bodies are polished to a surface as smooth as window glass. but before a ferrari leaves the paint shop, it has to pass a rigorous final quality check. the slightest surface flaws in the paint work are polished and rechecked. -the paint depth is measured ultrasonically to within a thousandth of a millimeter to achieve an evenness of finish and color. if an imperfection can't be polished away, the body is sent back down the line to be repainted. robots finish the paint job, but a man will assemble the engine. each engine is built by one man, by hand. putting together the 800 precision components is one of the most skilled jobs in the ferrari factory. -the engine mechanic fits the massive engine block with the pistons that will turn explosive energy into propulsive force. then he puts the most critical piece of all into the engine block, the crankshaft. the remainder of the engine takes shape as the hours spin by. a full day after work began, the engine is finished. from fire and raw metal, this has been made. -the workers in ferrari's paint shop and engine works have done their jobs. now, the beauty and the brute strength are about to come together. ferrari's maranello factory has met two of its challenges. the newly designed 599 has its powerful heart and its beautiful body, but that power will have to be harnessed, and that body kept on the road, if this heir to a formula-1 racer is to perform on the street. meeting that challenge is the job of the final assembly line. -on regular assembly lines, the car being made never stops moving, but a ferrari stops 32 separate times during its final assembly. at the top of the line, the 599's biggest, heaviest, and most crucial component finally meets the body it will propel at speeds of over 300kmh. the v12 engine alone accounts for a fifth of the 599's total weight. the engine has to be bolted to the chassis and wired up. fierce italian pride drives the mechanics' work. -of course we all feel proud of our work, because we have to give the best we have, so that every vehicle is the same as the next, exactly the same. the engine is in, but that's only half the job. they've still got to fit the 599's transmission system, made up of its gearbox and massive driveshaft, already bolted together. the engine creates the power, 620 horsepower, but all that power is transferred by the driveshaft through the gearbox to the 599's axles and wheels. the driveshaft is one of the only components encased in steel. -it has to be if it's to handle the power surging through it from the engine. that power is controlled by the 599's racing-bred gear system. changing gears in the 599 is virtually instant. in the space of a tenth of a second, the power pumping from the engine can be shifted up or down a gear. that's ten times faster than the gears in an average car. -and only a fraction more time than it takes in a formula-1 car. this extraordinary power management allows a ferrari to accelerate through all its gears and be moving at over 200kmh in just 11 seconds. but only if the factory workers get it right. on the assembly line, they finish mounting the 599's engine and transmission system. it's not enough for a sports car to go fast. -it also has to stay on the road! the suspension system in high-performance vehicles like the 599 is far more important than it is in a normal car. the 599's suspension uses revolutionary shock absorbers developed in the united states. while conventional shock absorbers are oil-filled, the shock absorbers used on the 599 contain a magnetically-charged fluid. like two opposing magnets, they read and react to every bump in the road far more precisely and instantly than oil-filled shock absorbers. -installing the shock absorbers is a critical and painstaking step in the 599's final assembly. but ferrari's mechanics mount this key component in under an hour. the maranello factory has now given the 599 speed, beauty and handing for the street, but there's still one challenge left to meet: luxury. that's the job of the coachworks, where the 599 gets its luxurious leather interior, each piece individually handcrafted. -a highly-trained team of seamstresses draws on a centuries-old italian tradition of fine leatherwork. specially-selected cow hides are transformed into the ferrari's upholstery, dashboard and trim. this is the coachworks' concession to the 21 st century: a computer-controlled marking system to avoid even minute defects in the leather. ferrari's customers pay handsomely for perfection. -a laser beam directed by the computer precisely cuts the sections of leather. but beyond this stage, it's all human skill with needle and thread, that creates the unique interiors in all the colors of the rainbow. if money's no object, ferrari will dye the leather of your 599 any color you want, and the same with the stitching. the leather is the same as that used to make some of europe's finest furniture. ferrari will even create matching luggage in the same leather. -everything is sewn, stretched and applied with the same meticulous care, from this roll bar to these dashboards. it takes an average of 30 hours to cut, sew and assemble a single ferrari's leather interior. it's pride, because i go out and i see a ferrari, and i always stop and look and i say, "hey! maybe i sewed the leather in that one." each time we finish a piece, the satisfaction is huge, because it's a totally manual job that creates something from nothing, and seeing as something is one of the most prestigious cars in the world, it is a great satisfaction for everyone. -back on the assembly line, the final pieces of this 200,000-euro jigsaw puzzle are being put in place. the computer-controlled instrumentation inside a 599 is almost identical to that in the cockpit of ferrari's formula-1 racing cars. the car's computer monitors all its electronic systems, everything from the heaters in the seats, to the all-important traction control system. the traction control system processes data coming from sensors on the 599's wheels, then modifies the car's handing to give the driver more control in any situation. in wet conditions, for example, the system makes minute adjustments to avoid skidding. -the 599's wheels are made of aluminum alloy, which means they're both incredibly light and incredibly strong. thanks to its racing heritage, the 599's tyres have a footprint twice as wide as a regular car's, and more rubber on the road means there's more grip for acceleration and cornering. the 599's windshield is precision curved to maintain the car's aerodynamic profile. final checks are done on every part of the car. and only when it's passed this inspection is the 599 declared ready to receive its badge of honour: -ferrari's prancing horse. but despite all the care and all the pride that have gone into its construction, the finished 599 must still prove itself road-ready. and in ferrari terms, road-ready is as close as you can get to race-ready. ferrari's workers have done everything they can, and taken the 599 from raw metal to finished sports car, but it now has to pass a final test. this is the racetrack at maranello, where ferrari tests its legendary formula-1 cars. -and it's also where new 599's are tested to ensure their performance matches ferrari's promise. high on the list of critical checks is the traction control system. the tiny sensors mounted behind the wheels feed data to the car's computer, adjusting its handing from one split-second to the next. on the racetrack, the test driver first checks the 599 with its traction control turned off. then he performs the same manoeuvres with the traction control system engaged. -for a normal driver, this enhanced handing could be the difference between maintaining control and losing the car. but despite its formula-1 pedigree, the 599 is not bred for the racetrack, so, in the hills above the ferrari factory, each one is put through a second road test. the 599's suspension and handing are also tested in a real world environment. so is its tenth-of-a-second gear shift system. each gear change means a virtually instant shift in the power reaching the wheels. -if the gear system is even a fraction of a second out, the car could be sent into a high-speed slide, something that could be deadly on the open road. the test driver pushes the 599 to its limits, continually checking the computer instrumentation and constantly matching the cars promised performance against its actual performance. with its v12 heart pumping as it never has before, and its aerodynamic body cutting the italian air, the new ferrari is now free of the factory, and on its way to an owner who's waited two years for their prize. all told, it's taken nearly two months to create this fusion of power and art. each section, and each worker, has been part of the team that's brought the fiorano 599 into existence. -day by day, part by part, and process by process, the ferrari mega-factory has delivered perfection! previously- denny got engaged. who is it this time? beverly bridge. -the woman denny "craned" at that charity dinner. denny crane! oh! if denny becomes incapacitated- i'm having a stroke. -she could bring down the firm. maybe you're in love. i am delirious with joy. how come you're getting involved with a dead guy? i, um, tee not to think about it. -there is nothing romantic about this. that turns you into a corpse before you die. it is not too late to get out. i start chemo again tomorrow. okay. -two dollars even. thank you. hello. may i help you, ma'am? yes, you may, dear. -whoa! take all the money out of the drawer and put it in a bag, please. yes. oh, and- and put some of that delicious beef jerky in there too. mr. shore? -she said to call you. thank you, lawrence. in a way, i suppose this is all your fault. oh, dear god, how, catherine? how is it that you holding up a convenience store suddenly becomes my fault? -you said you would hire me as your personal assistant after the firm fired me. and i took you at your lying word. bad, catherine, bad. it was a terrible thing to forget, and i'm sorry. but you're in a lot of trouble here. -what else was i to do? a gal's got to eat. and robbery isn't as bad as killing a man, and you got me off on that. and you've done wonders with your second chance. stay here. -good evening. i understand you recently suffered a robbery. you a lawyer? actually i'm here more as a friend... to the befuddled old woman who- -robbed me. yeah. do you know how many times i have been held up this year? far too many for you to appreciate her little prank, i'm sure. may i ask if that's your car out front... -the dotson with the dents in the side? yeah. i have a friend who has a friend. he's a magician with budworm. he'll make those dents disappear, change the color. -he'll make that dotson look exactly like a late-model b. m. w. can he make the seats look like leather? the man's a miracle worker. we got a problem. another sector car called it in. -i don't have any choice. i got to book her. i tm's late. she's elderly. couldn't we at least defer the arrest? -i don't know. lawrence, please? you owe me. thank you. you won't regret this. -excuse me, officer? can i get my gun back, please? when a. d. a. raines gets back, have her call me immediately. yes, sir. thank you. -could i borrow you for a minute? opposing counsel has made an offer. i'm trying to get these people to take it. i'm hoping you can explain to them that this is as good as it gets. do i get a hint? -it involves invasion of privacy. a woman, jackie hayden-access was gained to her personal medical records. invasion of privacy. there's an increasingly familiar tune these days. this is a little worse than your typical case... of someone being denied job because of pre-existing condition. -how much worse? he never beat me, just my mother. i finally got out when i was 16. a few years later... emily's mom, jackie, came to us at the women's shelter. -she was a mess. they promised my dad would never find her there. for obvious reasons, the name, phone number and location of the shelter are confidential. we put emily's mom in touch with a psychiatrist for post traumatic stress disorder. the cost of which was covered- -under her h. m. o. unfortunately, the h. m. o., well benefits, posted jackie's information... including the name and address other psychiatrist, on their web site. emily's father found jackie's psychiatrist via the well benefits web site... and tracked her down at the psychiatrist's office. and that's where... he killed her. so this is a wrongful death action. -and well benefits has offered you a settlement? twenty thousand. no admission of liability. regarding the settlement, i have to agree. thank you, alan. -not with you, with you. the offer is insulting. these people need to be taught a lesson. would you excuse us one moment? twenty thousand? -that's a lot of money for a 19-year-old girl. and i brought you in to make this go away. i won't do that. what happened to jackie hayden was a nightmare, but to blame the h. m. o.- there was a supervening act. -technically well benefits didn't break the law. but there was a foreseeable danger. there are consequences in this case. dire consequences to putting someone's most personal information on the internet. well benefits should have known that. -i say we clobber them over the head with it. this is why people don't ask your opinion a lot. most likely. lorraine, ham and provolone on a baguette. um, do you have anything without bread? -these are sandwiches. they have bread. well, there's a thing called protein style. yeah, if it don't have bread, it isn't a sandwich. and i only do sandwiches. -do you know who i am? i am denny crane's fiancée. yeah? so? hey, mr. chase. -roast beef and havarti. catherine, what are you doing here? i just tried to reach you at your house. i was in the neighborhood. i wanted to see if there was any news on my case. -now about your finances. oh, we can talk finances and trial strategy. uh, can we use osteoporosis as a defense? do you have it? no. -but i have a little pillow i can put under my shirt. we'll keep that in our arsenal. so, catherine- do you wanna talk more now? i was going to catch up with the girls in word processing. -oh. okay. why don't you do that? but don't worry. i'll be here. -i've cleared my schedule. this gets top priority. as it should, given you're facing 25 to life. what happened to the sandwich guy? uh, bev fired him. -bev doesn't work here. well, then i fired him. denny, i thought we agreed you wouldn't fire anyone after you let vicky donkey go. she wasn't pulling her weight. she was a client. -let me tell you something. you know why this firm is going into the dumper? our profits were up five percent last quarter. people are being coddled! bunch of lay abouts. -aah! be careful of the cuticle, ming. denny, it's starting. i don't know what you're talking about. bev. -she's following a similar pattern to your five previous wives. it starts with her firing the sandwich guy, and ends with her influencing policy at this firm. and it will not be tolerated. now, shirley, we both know what this is all about. no, we do not both know what this is about. -i tm's not about me being jealous of bev. it's about getting the sandwich guy back. all right. all right. geez. -filed known it was such a big deal. i'll talk to bev. happy ending, mr. crane? oh, not today, ming. i'm engaged now. -wellesley memorial, oncology. room 4175. there's a phone block on that room. could you help me out here? i'm his, um, girlfriend. -hold one second, please. hello, miss bauer. this is laura buckingham, mr. post's personal assistant. oh, thank god. how's the chemo going? -he's indisposed at the moment, but he wanted me to personally assure you he is well. and he'll phone you in a few days following his treatment. uh, could you tell mr. post that, um- tell him i, um- i'm thinking of him. -i will. they're here. let's go. rejected? you've got to be kidding. -no. i'm much funnier when i'm kidding. i thought this was worked out. i thought so too. after further consideration, we decided that the offer was inadequate. -oh, what a bunch of rap! young lady, i don't know what nonsense... please direct your unfounded arrogance at me. okay, fine! you two are just tying to make an issue when there is no issue. -no issue? i'm sorry. did this young woman's mother suddenly spring back to life? her father killed her mother, and we are all upset about that. but it was not our fault. -however, to make this go away, we were willing to give her a gift of$20, ooo. well, as a gift, that's very sweet of you. we'll put it in the den next to the armoire. however, as compensation that you owe emily hayden because your negligence... led to her mother being brutally murdered, your offer is offensive. even more offensive than your tone. -we're done. the law is on outside, mr. shore. tragedies happen every day. yes. and you're about to experience one firsthand. -see you in court. aren't you glad you brought me on board? mr. hayden, is it true you stabbed your wife to death with a kitchen knife? yes. you hunted her down. -yes. you lay in wait. yes. and finally, after you both exchanged words... you pulled the knife out and stabbed her seven times in the chest. yes. -before you killed emily's mother, lackie... she was living at renew, a battered women's shelter? that was my understanding. a shelter, the location of which was kept confidential. as far as i knew. could you tell us how you came to learn of jackie's whereabouts? -by computer. specifically? i logged onto well benefits' web site. jackie's h. m. o. i had her social security number and her date of birth. -it's all i needed to access the records. and what did you find? her explanation of benefits. it had on it what she was being treated for... the location of her doctor and what her co-pay was. i noticed she was seeing the same shrink every monday. -so i went and waited for her outside his office. emily? emily? the good was we just made a strong opening impression with the jury. the bad was you just had to listen to testimony of how your father killed your mother. -that's something nobody should ever have to experience. here's what you should know about lawyers. i could have sat you down and prepared you for this testimony so as to brace you. i chose not to. no tears for the plaint... no tears for the jury, less money. -but, emily, we don't have to keep going here. if you feel this- i wanna keep going. you're sure? yes. -okay. but if you don't care to be in the courtroom- i wanna be there. from this point on, it's not entirely necessary. i wanna be there. -i want you to get him, and i wanna see you get him. get who, emily? we're suing a company. so i heard lynette's cyst didn't go away, and they're going to have to lance it. all that and her sup- hello, denny. -do you still remember who i am? or did i leak out your waffle ball brain? now her i know we fired. alan, any news of the case? yes. -well, make it quick because i'm having lunch with judy. her husband's... again. well, i've good news. the grocery clerk was too busy driving around in his plush new ride to press charges. and the d. a. won't prosecute without a complaining witness. -what does that mean? your case is dismissed. you're free and clear. really? catherine, this is good news. -there are only two "get out of jail free" cards in the game. and you've used them both up. i did, didn't i? yes, you did. catherine, i want you to have this. -$3, too? i hope you're not expecting sex for this. i am not. consider it back pay. thank you, alan. -we'll have dinner soon to celebrate. you wanna rehire the sandwich guy? well, it wasn't that big a deal. not a big deal? how would you feel if he raped me? -what would you do? just sweep that under the rug? oh, come on, bev. i know the guy upset you, but- damn right he upset me. -he was completely rude. but, denny, i mean my feelings don't matter here. the sandwich guy didn't disrespect beverly bridge. he disrespected the fiancée of denny crane. he disrespected you. -the son of bitch. if you turn to page 56, appendix "b." uh, sorry, folks. talked it over with bev. the sandwich guy, still out. -okay. we need to deal with this now. we need to deal with the sandwich guy... instead of the multimillion dollar blake merger? no. bev's influence on denny. -believe me, that's next on my agenda. bev fired the sandwich guy. i went to denny. he talked to bev. and the sandwich guy is still fired. -it's angie all over again. or marsha. or clovis. from what i've seen... bev is much more formidable than any of the previous mrs. cranes. -if she gets denny to take his name off the door... people will think the firm's in trouble. clients will stampede out of here. i have an idea. i realize i haven't been partner for long, so let me ask you both. how much discretion would i have to make this bev problem go away? -no chopping off fingers. no violence of any kind. none, i promise. then you have as much discretion as you need. several prominent publications have listed us... at the top of our field in terms of customer satisfaction. -and in terms of your website, specifically security? it is considered user-friendly but sound. we meet the accepted business standard for internet security. firm. hayden uses his criminal ingenuity... to illegally obtain information, that's horrible. -but it's what he chose to do. mr. orchard, according to my records, your company generates... approximately $1.5 billion in revenues each year. is that right? approximately. oh! -forgive me, your honor. before i began micros-examination, i meant to congratulate mr. orchard. his wife recently gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter. thank you. eight pounds, 15 ounces. -healthy? happy? thank goodness, yes. she was a bit jaundiced when she came out though. had a little fluid in her lungs which needed to be aspirated. -sorry? no, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to disregard you other children, which happens with the arrival of the new one. you have a four-year-old and a 1 o-year-old. your honor? -your honor, i just thought mr. orchard would like to know... his 1 o-year-old, curly, likes max babcock. though, max doesn't know if he likes her back. that's what i ascertained from the chat room. objection. all this objecting. -mr. joana, you seem in such a nasty mood. could it be the new lexus you ordered online from a broker has been delayed? gosh, i hope you're not forced to keep driving that sedan with a dent in it... from your recent fender bender. mr. shore. -yes, your honor? by the way, you need to renew your car registration. but congratulations on your colonoscopy. mr. shore! too personal? -it was just information i was able to obtain from web sites... which employ the accepted business standard for internet security. that is what you called it, mr. orchard, correct? correct. here's what i don't understand. you're a billion dollar company. -you're in the business of insuring the health and well-being of your clientele. and yet you weren't able to insure the safety of their records... which you could have done, had you spent... just a fraction of those billions on internet security. mr. shore, as we all know, health care costs have spun out of control. information technology is the largest cost for us and other fortune 1 ooo companies. if we had upgraded to a more secure system... more people would have had to do without health care. -and yet fewer would have been murdered. here you are, sir. thank you. to denny crane. mom. -ah. now, brad, did you really ask me here on business... or are you trying to do a little move-in on denny crane's girl? just business. i'm here to talk about you and denny. well, we're very much in love. -if anything changes, though, i'll let you know. well, as you know, denny's been married several times... and each time it's ended in divorce. each divorce has been traumatic and ultimately costly... for denny and crane, poole schmidt. don't worry about it, brad. i'm sure i'm going to sign any primp that denny wants me to. -this isn't about primp. this is about avoiding the turmoil of marriage and divorce altogether. you lost me. i'll make it simple. i'm prepared to give you $500, ooo right now... if you walk away and never have any contact with denny crane ever again. -it would save us a lot of money, time and grief. but i want you to know that we'll aggressively fight... to keep you from exercising any control over denny or the firm. i'm going to tell you two things. first, i love denny crane with all my heart. and i will never leave him. -not for all the money in the world. and second, in a moment... you're going to pour your glass of wine all over yourself. ah, crap! hello. hi. -i always feel slightly sick to my stomach... when i work alone in the office late at night. i thought you liked being alone. oh, i love being alone. i just prefer to be alone when there's other people around. so, how are you doing? -fine. i have a rabbi friend with a small gambling problem... who, when he hears someone say they're fine... he always asks again until they say something... other than fine. so... how are you doing? i'm seeing someone who's dying of lung cancer. and, while he is a very wealthy man... he can't buy his way out of the secondary cancers... that the treatment for the first cancers are causing. -and here's the kicker. he um, daniel... has completely shut me out of his life. so now i just... wait. denise, i don't know you vowel... however you don't strike me as the type of woman who just waits. -for anything. dribbling up to the side corner where a double-team awaits him. dribbling up to the side corner where a double-team awaits him. throwing it out to the top of the key, he banks a shot to get his man in the air. drives down the lane. -beautiful! big man underneath. may i help you? i'd like to buy some earplugs, please. 2.03. -oh, i'm in trouble now. yes. what's with me? indeed. i certainly have a lack of impulse control. -i must have a. d. d. or o. c. d... or one of those other letter things. but i don't want you to think i'm not aware of the hole we're in. i get it. that's why i want you to know... i'm willing to roll up my sleeves and- and work with you on this. -maybe we can set up a little office for me at the firm. i'll be back. sir? don't go anther. what in the hell were you thinking? -you both gave me discretion to make her go away. but she didn't go away! so you made this insane offer, put the firm at risk for nothing? when this gets back to denny- and it will- he is going to blow sky-high. now bev has a chip to play against us. -bev turned down the offer that i made her. she was vey offended. she, um, set my tie on fire. oh, god! but before she turned me down... she hesitated. -just a little bit. but she hesitated. this is going to get ugly. how can i not testy_? you said yourself i'm the emotion in the case. -i'm thinking too much emotion. i i don't understand. emily, i could put you on the stand... exhibit your anger and sadness for the jury, and they will be moved. but then the defense has their turn... and they'll exploit those visage emotions, taking advantage of your pain. -they'll argue that your vengeance is truly meant for your father... and you've refocused it toward well benefits... the deepest pockets you could find. they'll have the jury convinced it's a misdirected and therefore frivolous lawsuit. and that's how we'll lose. i suspect the most difficult thing one could ask of you is trust. but that's exactly what i'm asking for now, emily. -let's get in there. mr. shore, i wish i could get you to come to the shelter. so many of the women there desperately need legal advice. someone who'll speak to them openly and honestly. are they cute? -you don't fool me. you're a compassionate man. we need to get back. ned hayden killed his wife. he's serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. -justice has been served. emily hayden's loss is immeasurable. but whatever closure she is seeking, she must find it in her soul or through her god... not through suing well benefits. well benefits could not reasonably foresee this killing... and did nothing to encourage it. they were in compliance with all state and federal regulations... regarding internet security. -if you find for the plaintiff. you are punishing my client for playing by the rules... and you're opening a pandora's box of lawsuits- and who will ultimately end up paying for that? you know. it's you. when i was 11 years old, there came a time... when the temptation to explore the more secretive recesses... of my older sister's life became more than i could resist. -i started by poking around in her room. i ended by reading her diary. in my defense, she kept it right out in the open, under her mattress. and the little metal clasp on it... was simply no match for the paper clip and the screwdriver. i was eventually caught, prompting my sister to have a lock installed on her door. -the only consequence of the invasion of my sister's privacy... was the temporary loss other confidence and trust. the invasion of lackie hayden's privacy... led to her being stabbed and left to bleed to death in the street. privacy and the safety and security... that that word has always implied... has with time and technology become an illusion. the national security agency has access to all our e-mail... the world over with its echelon system. virtually every way site you visit... installs a delicious cookie onto your computer... which is in fact a spy to track your every move. -there are predators out in cyberspace collecting data on your children... while they innocently type away in chat rooms. and that little waiver you've signed in the doctor's office... most likely allows physicians to share your information on the internet... with insurance companies, the government, your employer and the courts. make no mistake. access to your information is easy. all you need is a person's five-digit zip code... gender and date of birth to uniquely identify_... 87m of the u. s. population. -that is how vulnerable we are. how vulnerable you are. well benefits says they could not have possibly foreseen... the actions of an abusive spouse intent on causing his wife harm. let me tell you what jackie hayden could not foresee. that after years of cruel and violent debasement at the hands other husband... after she finally found her way out of the shadows... she didn't foresee that the people she most trusted... with her health and well-being would lead the darkness right back to her door. -and now she's dead. well benefits made it easy for ned hayden to find his wife. as easy as looking under a mattress. madam foreperson, you've reached a verdict? we have, your honor. -what say you? we, the jury, find in favor of the plaintiff... and award compensatory damages in the amount of $950, ooo... and punitive damages in the amount of $2 million. your honor, we move for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. or in the alternative, a new trial. motion denied. -cheju is dismissed. we are adjourned. thank you. thank you, mr. shore. you're welcome. -i knew you could win this, mr. shore. well, that's usually the safe bet. tell me, how does a striking latina woman... come by the name i ram levine? hmm. congratulations on winning your case. -thank you. great work. thank you. i have to go see the d. a. about catherine. are you heading somewhere... -or just waiting? no, i'm definitely not waiting. let her go? what are you, high? not yet. -she already murdered a man. for which ahoy found her innocent. now she's on a crime spree. twice in the same convenience store hardly makes a spree. then what would you call her- an active senior? -no. i would call hear sad and lonely old woman. a woman who spent many years living in solitude... with nothing to occupy hermit and intellect. and one day she became my assistant... and suddenly she was in an environment... equal to the task of entertaining and stimulating her magnificent mind. then she should have taken up crocheting, not felony robbery. -granted. but for catherine this was not about malice... nor financial gain nor thrill seeking. it was about... getting my attention. and she got it. -her reign of terror is over. t promise. she pleads guilty to misdemeanor possession of firearm... i'll recommend probation, no jail time. thank you, miss raines. one thing. -yes? i do this for you, you do something for me. i'm listening. get me an interview at crane, poole schmidt. let's just say being a district attorney... isn't entertaining and stimulating my magnificent mind. -just get me in the door. i'll get the job myself. and you'll get catherine piper back. i'll see what i can do. these are for you. -dill pickles. they're supposed to alter the metallic taste sensation from the chemotherapy... and make your regular food taste better. well, that is the nicest chemo gift i've ever gotten. this may not be the best time to discuss this... but you're weak and i'm strong. you don't get to set all the rules in this relationship. -your whole life you have used money to set the rules... and now you're using your illness. i think i should be able to. i got the bum lung. i know. i know. -but it- it wasn't right... for you to shut me out like that. you're right. i'm sorry. but if you hit me or anything... i might literally die. -scoot. i've been thinking a good deal about my offer... to hire you as my personal assistant. i've come to the conclusion, catherine, that i am a terrible boss. oh, no, dear. i don't think so. -my point is i found you job, a better job. i don't know. the pay is comparable. it's a start-up company. they need someone with imagination and experience. -a real people person. i immediately thought of you. dental? i'm sure something can be worked out. so what would i be doing? -pesto chicken! veggie wrap! roast beef on ciabatta! come and get it! i have fruit and hard-boiled eggs and stuff. -i've got bundt cake. okay, what are you having? yeah, four dollars for that. thank you very much. only a salad? -don't you want something sweet? i've got sweet buns. so, you're in the sandwich business now? a silent investor. thank you very much. -there you go. thank you very much. there you are. hardly seen you this episode. it saddens me. -tough case? yes. lack of privacy on the internet is complicated and overwhelming. i t doesn't scare me. my life's an open book. -so you wouldn't mind if someone tapped a few keys... and discovered you have mad cow? i don't care. i tell everybody i meet inlay. ever looked yourself up on the internet? i have. -denny crane, legal genius. what about you? no. i don't want to know me. oh, i know you. -you're not so bad. so i've met this girl. you did? irma levine. she gives me a bit of trouble. -take her to my wedding. we just met. bev and i just met. we're the ones getting married. you are, aren't you? -yes, i am. you stinker! previously-- denny got engaged. who is it this time? -beverly bridge. the woman denny "craned" at that charity dinner. denny crane! oh! if denny becomes incapacitated-- -i'm having a stroke. she could bring down the firm. maybe you're in love. i am delirious with joy. how come you're getting involved with a dead guy? -i, um, try not to think about it. there is nothing romantic about this. it turns you into a corpse before you die. it is not too late to get out. i start chemo again tomorrow. -okay. two dollars even. thank you. hello. may i help you, ma'am? -yes, you may, dear. whoa! take all the money out of the drawer and put it in a bag, please. yes. oh, and-- and put some of that delicious beef jerky in there too. -mr. shore? she said to call you. thank you, lawrence. in a way, i suppose this is all your fault. oh, dear god, how, catherine? -how is it that you holding up a convenience store suddenly becomes my fault? you said you would hire me as your personal assistant after the firm fired me. and i took you at your lying word. bad, catherine, bad. it was a terrible thing to forget, and i'm sorry. -but you're in a lot of trouble here. what else was i to do? a gal's gotta eat. and robbery isn't as bad as killing a man, and you got me off on that. and you've done wonders with your second chance. -stay here. good evening. i understand you recently suffered a robbery. you a lawyer? actually i'm here more as a friend... -to the befuddled old woman who-- robbed me. yeah. do you know how many times i have been held up this year? far too many for you to appreciate her little prank, i'm sure. -may i ask if that's your car out front... the datsun with the dents in the side? yeah. i have a friend who has a friend. he's a magician with bodywork. -he'll make those dents disappear, change the color. he'll make that datsun look exactly like a late-model b.m.w. can he make the seats look like leather? the man's a miracle worker. we got a problem. -another sector car called it in. i don't have any choice. i gotta book her. it's late. she's elderly. -couldn't we at least defer the arrest? i don't know. lawrence, please? you owe me. thank you. -you won't regret this. excuse me, officer? can i get my gun back, please? when a.d.a. raines gets back, have her call me immediately. thank you. -could i borrow you for a minute? opposing counsel has made an offer. i'm trying to get these people to take it. i'm hoping you can explain to them that this is as good as it gets. do i get a hint? -it involves invasion of privacy. a woman,jackie hayden--access was gained to her personal medical records. invasion of privacy. there's an increasingly familiar tune these days. this is a little worse than your typical case... of someone being denied a job because of a pre-existing condition. -how much worse? he never beat me,just my mother. i finally got out when i was 16. a few years later... emily's mom,jackie, came to us at the women's shelter. -she was a mess. they promised my dad would never find her there. for obvious reasons, the name, phone number and location of the shelter are confidential. we put emily's mom in touch with a psychiatrist for post traumatic stress disorder. the cost of which was covered-- -under her h.m.o. unfortunately, the h.m.o., well benefits, posted jackie's information... including the name and address of her psychiatrist, on their web site. emily's father found jackie's psychiatrist via the well benefits web site... and tracked her down at the psychiatrist's office. and that's where... he killed her. so this is a wrongful death action. -and well benefits has offered you a settlement? twenty thousand. no admission of liability. regarding the settlement, i have to agree. thank you, alan. -not with you, with you. the offer is insulting. these people need to be taught a lesson. would you excuse us one moment? twenty thousand? -that's a lot of money for a 19-year-old girl. and i brought you in to make this go away. i won't do that. what happened tojackie hayden was a nightmare, but to blame the h.m.o.-- there was a supervening act. -technically well benefits didn't break the law. but there was a foreseeable danger. there are consequences in this case. dire consequences to putting someone's most personal information on the internet. well benefits should have known that. -i say we clobber them over the head with it. this is why people don't ask your opinion a lot. most likely. lorraine, ham and provolone on a baguette. um, do you have anything without bread? -these are sandwiches. they have bread. well, there's a thing called protein style. yeah, if it don't have bread, it ain't a sandwich. and i only do sandwiches. -do you know who i am? i am denny crane's fiancée. yeah? so? hey, mr. chase. -roast beef and havarti. catherine, what are you doing here? i just tried to reach you at your house. i was in the neighborhood. i wanted to see if there was any news on my case. -there isn't. i put in a call to the d.a.'s office. i have yet to hear back. now about your finances. oh, we can talk finances and trial strategy. -uh, can we use osteoporosis as a defense? do you have it? but i have a little pillow i can put under my shirt. we'll keep that in our arsenal. so, catherine-- -do you wanna talk more now? i was gonna catch up with the girls in word processing. oh. okay. why don't you do that? -but don't worry. i'll be here. i've cleared my schedule. this gets top priority. as it should, given you're facing 25 to life. -what happened to the sandwich guy? uh, bev fired him. bev doesn't work here. well, then i fired him. denny, i thought we agreed you wouldn't fire anyone after you let vicky donchey go. -she wasn't pulling her weight. she was a client. let me tell you something. you know why this firm is going into the dumper? our profits were up five percent last quarter. -people are being coddled! bunch of layabouts. aah! be careful of the cuticle, ming. denny, it's starting. -i don't know what you're talking about. bev. she's following a similar pattern to your five previous wives. it starts with her firing the sandwich guy, and ends with her influencing policy at this firm. and it will not be tolerated. -now, shirley, we both know what this is all about. no, we do not both know what this is about. it's not about me being jealous of bev. it's about getting the sandwich guy back. all right. -all right. geez. if i'd known it was such a big deal. i'll talk to bev. happy ending, mr. crane? -oh, not today, ming. i'm engaged now. room 4175. there's a phone block on that room. could you help me out here? -i'm his, um, girlfriend. hold one second, please. hello, miss bauer. this is laura buckingham, mr. post's personal assistant. oh, thank god. -how's the chemo going? he's indisposed at the moment, but he wanted me to personally assure you he is well. and he'll phone you in a few days following his treatment. uh, could you tell mr. post that, um-- tell him i, um-- -i'm thinking of him. they're here. rejected? you've gotta be kidding. no. -i'm much funnier when i'm kidding. i thought this was worked out. i thought so too. after further consideration, we decided that the offer was inadequate. oh, what a bunch of crap! -young lady, i don't know what nonsense... these lawyers have been telling you about h.m.o.'s and their deep pockets. please direct your unfounded arrogance at me. okay, fine! you two arejust trying to make an issue when there is no issue. no issue? -i'm sorry. did this young woman's mother suddenly spring back to life? her father killed her mother, and we are all upset about that. but it was not our fault. however, to make this go away, we were willing to give her a gift of $20,000. -well, as a gift, that's very sweet of you. we'll put it in the den next to the armoire. however, as compensation that you owe emily hayden because your negligence... led to her mother being brutally murdered, your offer is offensive. even more offensive than your tone. we're done. -the law is on our side, mr. shore. tragedies happen every day. yes. and you're about to experience one firsthand. see you in court. -aren't you glad you brought me on board? mr. hayden, is it true you stabbed your wife to death with a kitchen knife? yes. you hunted her down. yes. -you lay in wait. yes. and finally, after you both exchanged words... you pulled the knife out and stabbed her seven times in the chest. yes. before you killed emily's mother,jackie... she was living at renew, a battered women's shelter? -that was my understanding. a shelter, the location of which was kept confidential. as far as i knew. could you tell us how you came to learn ofjackie's whereabouts? by computer. -specifically? i logged onto well benefits' web site. jackie's h.m.o. i had her social security number and her date ofbirth. it's all i needed to access the records. -and what did you find? her explanation of benefits. it had on it what she was being treated for... the location ofher doctor and what her co-pay was. i noticed she was seeing the same shrink every monday. so i went and waited for her outside his office. -emily? emily? the good was we just made a strong opening impression with the jury. the bad was you just had to listen to testimony of how your father killed your mother. that's something nobody should ever have to experience. -here's what you should know about lawyers. i could have sat you down and prepared you for this testimony so as to brace you. i chose not to. no tears for the plaintiff... no tears for the jury, less money. but, emily, we don't have to keep going here. -if you feel this-- i wanna keep going. you're sure? yes. okay. -but if you don't care to be in the courtroom-- i wanna be there. from this point on, it's not entirely necessary. i wanna be there. i want you to get him, and i wanna see you get him. -get who, emily? we're suing a company. so i heard lynette's cyst didn't go away, and they're gonna have to lance it. all that and her sup-- hello, denny. do you still remember who i am? -or did i leak out your wiffle ball brain? now her i know we fired. alan, any news of the case? yes. well, make it quick because i'm having lunch with judy. -her husband's... again. well, i've good news. the grocery clerk was too busy driving around in his plush new ride to press charges. and the d.a. won't prosecute without a complaining witness. what does that mean? -your case is dismissed. you're free and clear. really? catherine, this is good news. there are only two "get out of jail free" cards in the game. -and you've used them both up. i did, didn't i? yes, you did. catherine, i want you to have this. $3,000? -i hope you're not expecting sex for this. i am not. consider it back pay. thank you, alan. we'll have dinner soon to celebrate. -you wanna rehire the sandwich guy? well, it wasn't that big a deal. not a big deal? how would you feel if he raped me? what would you do? -just sweep that under the rug? oh, come on, bev. i know the guy upset you, but-- damn right he upset me. he was completely rude. -but, denny, i mean my feelings don't matter here. the sandwich guy didn't disrespect beverly bridge. he disrespected the fiancée of denny crane. he disrespected you. the son of a bitch. -if you turn to page 56, appendix "b." uh, sorry, folks. talked it over with bev. the sandwich guy, still out. okay. -we need to deal with this now. we need to deal with the sandwich guy... instead of the multimillion dollar blake merger? no. bev's influence on denny. believe me, that's next on my agenda. -bev fired the sandwich guy. i went to denny. he talked to bev. and the sandwich guy is still fired. it's angie all over again. -or marsha. or clovis. from what i've seen... bev is much more formidable than any of the previous mrs. cranes. if she gets denny to take his name off the door... people will think the firm's in trouble. -clients will stampede out ofhere. i have an idea. i realize i haven't been partner for very long, so let me ask you both. how much discretion would i have to make this bev problem go away? no chopping off fingers. -no violence of any kind. none, i promise. then you have as much discretion as you need. and so in comparison with other h.m.o. 's, well benefits would rank where? several prominent publications have listed us... at the top of our field in terms of customer satisfaction. -and in terms of your web site, specifically security? it is considered user-friendly but sound. we meet the accepted business standard for internet security. if mr. hayden uses his criminal ingenuity... to illegally obtain information, that's horrible. but it's what he chose to do. -mr. orchard, according to my records, your company generates... approximately $1.5 billion in revenues each year. is that right? approximately. oh! forgive me, your honor. -before i began my cross-examination, i meant to congratulate mr. orchard. his wife recently gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter. thank you. eight pounds, 15 ounces. healthy? -happy? thank goodness, yes. she was a bit jaundiced when she came out though. had a little fluid in her lungs which needed to be aspirated. sorry? -no, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to disregard your other children, which happens with the arrival of the new one. you have a four-year-old and a 10-year-old. your honor? your honor, i just thought mr. orchard would like to know... his 10-year-old, carly, likes max babcock. -though, max doesn't know if he likes her back. that's what i ascertained from the chat room. objection. all this objecting. mr.jovanka, you seem in such a nasty mood. -could it be the new lexus you ordered online from a broker has been delayed? gosh, i hope you're not forced to keep driving that sedan with a dent in it... from your recent fender bender. mr. shore. yes, your honor? -by the way, you need to renew your car registration. but congratulations on your colonoscopy. mr. shore! too personal? it was just information i was able to obtain from web sites... which employ the accepted business standard for internet security. -that is what you called it, mr. orchard, correct? correct. here's what i don't understand. you're a billion dollar company. you're in the business of insuring the health and well-being of your clientele. -and yet you weren't able to insure the safety of their records... which you could have done, had you spent... just a fraction of those billions on internet security. mr. shore, as we all know, health care costs have spun out of control. information technology is the largest cost for us and other fortune 1000 companies. if we had upgraded to a more secure system... more people would have had to do without health care. and yet fewer would have been murdered. -here you are, sir. thank you. to denny crane. mmm. ah. -now, brad, did you really ask me here on business... or are you trying to do a little move-in on denny crane's girl? just business. i'm here to talk about you and denny. well, we're very much in love. if anything changes, though, i'll let you know. -well, as you know, denny's been married several times... and each time it's ended in divorce. each divorce has been traumatic and ultimately costly... for denny and crane, poole schmidt. don't worry about it, brad. i'm sure i'm gonna sign any prenup that denny wants me to. this isn't about prenup. -this is about avoiding the turmoil of marriage and divorce altogether. you lost me. i'll make it simple. i'm prepared to give you $500,000 right now... if you walk away and never have any contact with denny crane ever again. it would save us a lot of money, time and grief. -but i want you to know that we'll aggressively fight... to keep you from exercising any control over denny or the firm. i'm gonna tell you two things. first, i love denny crane with all my heart. and i will never leave him. not for all the money in the world. -and second, in a moment... you're going to pour your glass of wine all over yourself. ah, crap! hello. hi. i always feel slightly sick to my stomach... when i work alone in the office late at night. -i thought you liked being alone. oh, i love being alone. i just prefer to be alone when there's other people around. so, how are you doing? fine. -i have a rabbi friend with a small gambling problem... who, when he hears someone say they're fine... he always asks again until they say something... other than fine. so... how are you doing? i'm seeing someone who's dying of lung cancer. and, while he is a very wealthy man... he can't buy his way out of the secondary cancers... that the treatment for the first cancers are causing. and here's the kicker. -he- um, daniel... has completely shut me out of his life. so now i just... wait. denise, i don't know you very well... however you don't strike me as the type of woman who just waits. for anything. -throwing it out to the top of the key, he banks a shot to get his man in the air. drives down the lane. beautiful! big man underneath. may i help you? -i'd like to buy some earplugs, please. 2.03. oh, i'm in trouble now. yes. what's with me? -indeed. i certainly have a lack of impulse control. i must have a.d.d. or o.c.d.... or one of those other letter things. but i don't want you to think i'm not aware of the hole we're in. i get it. -that's why i want you to know... i'm willing to roll up my sleeves and-- and work with you on this. maybe we can set up a little office for me at the firm. i'll be back. sir? -don't go anywhere. what in the hell were you thinking? you both gave me discretion to make her go away. but she didn't go away! so you made this insane offer, put the firm at risk for nothing? -when this gets back to denny-- and it will-- he is going to blow sky-high. now bev has a chip to play against us. bev turned down the offer that i made her. she was very offended. she, um, set my tie on fire. -oh, god! but before she turned me down... she hesitated. just a little bit. but she hesitated. this is going to get ugly. -how can i not testify? you said yourself i'm the emotion in the case. i'm thinking too much emotion. i- i don't understand. -emily, i could put you on the stand... exhibit your anger and sadness for the jury, and they will be moved. but then the defense has their turn... and they'll exploit those very same emotions, taking advantage of your pain. they'll argue that your vengeance is truly meant for your father... and you've refocused it toward well benefits... the deepest pockets you could find. they'll have thejury convinced it's a misdirected and therefore frivolous lawsuit. and that's how we'll lose. -i suspect the most difficult thing one could ask of you is trust. but that's exactly what i'm asking for now, emily. let's get in there. mr. shore, i wish i could get you to come to the shelter. so many of the women there desperately need legal advice. -someone who'll speak to them openly and honestly. are they cute? you don't fool me. you're a compassionate man. we need to get back. -ned hayden killed his wife. he's serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. justice has been served. emily hayden's loss is immeasurable. but whatever closure she is seeking, she must find it in her soul or through her god... not through suing well benefits. -well benefits could not reasonably foresee this killing... and did nothing to encourage it. they were in compliance with all state and federal regulations... regarding internet security. if you find for the plaintiff, you are punishing my client for playing by the rules... and you're opening a pandora's box oflawsuits-- not just against h.m.o.'s, but against all internet businesses. and who will ultimately end up paying for that? you know. -it's you. when i was 11 years old, there came a time... when the temptation to explore the more secretive recesses... of my older sister's life became more than i could resist. i started by poking around in her room. i ended by reading her diary. in my defense, she kept it right out in the open, under her mattress. -and the little metal clasp on it... was simply no match for the paper clip and the screwdriver. i was eventually caught, prompting my sister to have a lock installed on her door. the only consequence of the invasion of my sister's privacy... was the temporary loss of her confidence and trust. the invasion ofjackie hayden's privacy... led to her being stabbed and left to bleed to death in the street. privacy and the safety and security... that that word has always implied... has with time and technology become an illusion. -the national security agency has access to all our e-mail... the world over with its echelon system. virtually every web site you visit... installs a delicious cookie onto your computer... which is in fact a spy to track your every move. there are predators out in cyberspace collecting data on your children... while they innocently type away in chat rooms. and that little waiver you've signed in the doctor's office... most likely allows physicians to share your information on the internet... with insurance companies, the government, your employer and the courts. make no mistake. -access to your information is easy. all you need is a person's five-digit zip code... gender and date of birth to uniquely identify... 87% of the u.s. population. that is how vulnerable we are. how vulnerable you are. well benefits says they could not have possibly foreseen... the actions of an abusive spouse intent on causing his wife harm. -let me tell you whatjackie hayden could not foresee. that after years of cruel and violent debasement at the hands of her husband... after she finally found her way out of the shadows... she didn't foresee that the people she most trusted... with her health and well-being would lead the darkness right back to her door. and now she's dead. well benefits made it easy for ned hayden to find his wife. as easy as looking under a mattress. -we have, your honor. what say you? we, the jury, find in favor of the plaintiff... and award compensatory damages in the amount of $950,000... and punitive damages in the amount of $2 million. your honor, we move for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict. or in the alternative, a new trial. -motion denied. the jury is dismissed. we are adjourned. thank you. thank you, mr. shore. -you're welcome. i knew you could win this, mr. shore. well, that's usually the safe bet. tell me, how does a striking latina woman... come by the name irma levine? hmm. -congratulations on winning your case. thank you. great work. thank you. i have to go see the d.a. about catherine. -are you heading somewhere... or just waiting? no, i'm definitely not waiting. let her go? what are you, high? -not yet. she already murdered a man. for which a jury found her innocent. now she's on a crime spree. twice in the same convenience store hardly makes a spree. -then what would you call her-- an active senior? i would call her a sad and lonely old woman. a woman who spent many years living in solitude... with nothing to occupy her wit and intellect. and one day she became my assistant... and suddenly she was in an environment... equal to the task of entertaining and stimulating her magnificent mind. then she should have taken up crocheting, not felony robbery. -granted. but for catherine this was not about malice... nor financial gain nor thrill seeking. it was about... getting my attention. and she got it. -her reign of terror is over. i promise. she pleads guilty to misdemeanor possession of a firearm... i'll recommend probation, no jail time. thank you, miss raines. -one thing. yes? i do this for you, you do something for me. i'm listening. get me an interview at crane, poole schmidt. -let's just say being a district attorney... isn't entertaining and stimulating my magnificent mind. just get me in the door. i'll get thejob myself. and you'll get catherine piper back. i'll see what i can do. -these are for you. dill pickles. they're supposed to alter the metallic taste sensation from the chemotherapy... and make your regular food taste better. well, that is the nicest chemo gift i've ever gotten. this may not be the best time to discuss this... but you're weak and i'm strong. -you don't get to set all the rules in this relationship. your whole life you have used money to set the rules... and now you're using your illness. i think i should be able to. i got the bum lung. i know. -i know. but it-- it wasn't right... for you to shut me out like that. you're right. i'm sorry. but if you hit me or anything... -i might literally die. scoot. i've been thinking a good deal about my offer... to hire you as my personal assistant. i've come to the conclusion, catherine, that i am a terrible boss. oh, no, dear. -i don't think so. my point is i found you a job, a better job. i don't know. the pay is comparable. it's a start-up company. -they need someone with imagination and experience. a real people person. i immediately thought of you. dental? i'm sure something can be worked out. -so what would i be doing? pesto chicken! veggie wrap! roast beef on ciabatta! come and get it! -i have fruit and hard-boiled eggs and stuff. i've got bundt cake. okay, what are you having? yeah, four dollars for that. thank you very much. -only a salad? don't you want something sweet? i've got sweet buns. so, you're in the sandwich business now? a silent investor. -there you go. thank you very much. there you are. hardly seen you this episode. it saddens me. -tough case? yes. lack of privacy on the internet is complicated and overwhelming. it doesn't scare me. my life's an open book. -so you wouldn't mind if someone tapped a few keys... and discovered you have mad cow? i don't care. i tell everybody i meet anyway. ever looked yourself up on the internet? i have. -denny crane, legal genius. what about you? no. i don't want to know me. oh, i know you. -you're not so bad. so i've met this girl. irma levine. she gives me a bit of trouble. take her to my wedding. -we just met. bev and i just met. we're the ones getting married. you are, aren't you? yes, i am. -previously on boston legal... denny got engaged. who is it this time? beverly bridge. the woman denny "craned" in the coatroom at that charity dinner. -denny crane... if denny becomes incapacitated... i'm having a stroke. she could bring down the firm. maybe you're in love. -i am delirious with joy. how come you're getting involved with a dead guy? i, uh, try not to think about it. there is nothing romantic about this. it turns you into a corpse before you die. -it is not too late to get out. i start chemo again tomorrow. okay... $2 even. thank you. -hello. may i help you, ma'am? yes, you may, dear. take all the money out of the drawer and put it in a bag, please. yes. -oh, and put some of that delicious beef jerky in there, too. mr shore, she said to call you. thank you, lawrence. in a way, i suppose this is all your fault. -oh, dear god how, catherine? how is it that you holding up a convenience store suddenly becomes my fault? you said you would hire me as your personal assistant after the firm fired me, and i took you at your lying word. bad catherine, bad! it was a terrible thing to forget, and i'm sorry, but you are in a lot of trouble here. -what else was i to do? a gal's got to eat. and robbery isn't as bad as killing a man, and you got me off on that. and you've done wonders with your second chance. stay here. -good evening. i understand you recently suffered a robbery. you a lawyer? actually, i'm here more as a friend to the befuddled old woman who... robbed me. -do you know how many times i have been held up this year? far too many for you to appreciate her little prank, i'm sure. may i ask if that's your car out front, the datsun with the dents in the side? yeah. i have a friend who has a friend. -he's a magician with bodywork. he'll make those dents disappear, change the color. he'll make that datsun look exactly like a late-model bmw can he make the seats look like leather? the man's a miracle worker. -we got a problem. another sector car called it in. i don't have any choice. i've got to book her. it's late. -she's elderly. can't we at least defer the arrest? i don't know. lawrence, please. you owe me. -thank you. you won't regret this. excuse me, officer? can i get my gun back, please? when ada raines gets back, have her call me immediately. -yes, sir. thank you. could i borrow you for a minute? opposing counsel has made an offer. i'm trying to get these people to take it. -i'm hoping that you can explain to them that this is as good as it gets. do i get a hint? it involves invasion of privacy. a woman, jackie hayden, access was gained to her personal medical records. invasion of privacy, there's an increasingly familiar tune these days. -this is a little worse than your typical case of someone being denied a job because of a preexisting condition. how much worse? he never beat me, just my mother. i finally got out when i was 16. a few years later, emily's mom -jackie came to us at the women's shelter. she was a mess. they promised my dad would never find her there. for obvious reasons, the name, phone number and location of the shelter are kept confidential. we put emily's mom in touch with a psychiatrist for post-traumatic stress disorder. -the cost of which was covered... under her hmo. unfortunately, the hmo, "well benefits" posted jackie's information, including the name and address of her psychiatrist on their web site. emily's father found jackie's psychiatrist via the "well benefits" web site and tracked her down at the psychiatrist's office. and that's where... he killed her. -so this is a wrongful death action, and well benefits has offered you a settlement? $20,000, no admission of liability. regarding the settlement, i have to agree. thank you, alan. not with you. -with you. the offer is insulting. these people need to be taught a lesson. would you excuse us one moment? $20,000. -that's a lot of money for a 19-year-old girl, and i brought you in to make this go away. i won't do that. what happened to jackie hayden was a nightmare, but to blame the hmo, there was a supervening act. technically, well benefits didn't break the law. but there was a foreseeable danger. -there are consequences in this case, dire consequences to putting someone's most personal information on the internet. well benefits should have known that. i say we clobber them over the head with it. this is why people don't ask your opinion a lot. most likely. -lorraine, ham and provolone on a baguette. do you have anything without bread? these are sandwiches. they have bread. well, there's a thing called "protein style". -yeah, if it don't have bread, it ain't a sandwich, and i only do sandwiches. do you know who i am? i am denny crane's fiancée. yeah, so? hey, mr chase, roast beef and havarti. -catherine, what are you doing here? i just tried to reach you at your house. i was in the neighborhood. i wanted to see if there was any news on my case. there isn't. -i put in a call to the da's office. i have yet to hear back. now about your finances... oh, we can talk finances and trial strategy. um, can we use osteoporosis as a defense? -do you have it? no, but i have a little pillow i can put under my shirt. we'll keep that in our arsenal. so catherine... do you want to talk more now? -i was gonna catch up with the girls in word processing. oh, okay. why don't you do that? but don't worry. i'll be here. -i've cleared my schedule. this gets top priority. as it should, given you're facing 25 to life. what happened to the sandwich guy? uh, bev fired him. -bev doesn't work here. well, then i fired him. denny, i thought we agreed you wouldn't fire anyone after you let vicky donchey go. she wasn't pulling her weight. she was a client. -let me tell you something, shirley. you know why this firm is going into the dumper? our profits were up 5% last quarter. people are being coddled. bunch of layabouts. -be careful of the cuticle, ming. denny... it's starting. i don't know what you're talking about. bev, she's following a similar pattern to your five previous wives. it starts with her firing the sandwich guy and ends with her influencing policy at this firm, and it will not be tolerated. -now, shirley, we both know what this is all about. no, we do not both know what this is about. it's not about me being jealous of bev. it's about getting the sandwich guy back! all right, all right. -jeez, if i'd known it was such a big deal... i'll talk to bev. happy ending, mr crane? oh, not today, ming. i'm engaged now. -wellesley memorial, oncology. room 4175. there is a phone block on that room. could you help me out here? i'm his, um, girlfriend. -hold one second, please. hello, ms bauer? this is laura buckingham, mr post's personal assistant. oh, thank god! how is the chemo going? -he's indisposed at the moment, but he wanted me to personally assure you he's well. i will phone you in a few days following his treatment. uh, could you tell mr post that, um... tell him i, um... –i'm thinking of him. i will. -they're here. let's go. rejected? you've got to be kidding! no, i'm much funnier when i'm kidding. -i thought this was worked out. i thought so, too. after further consideration, we decided that the offer was inadequate. oh, what a bunch of crap! young lady, i don't know what nonsense these lawyers have been telling you about hmos and their deep pockets. -please direct your unfounded arrogance at me. okay, fine. you two are just trying to make an issue when there is no issue. no issue? i'm sorry. -did this young woman's mother suddenly spring back to life? her father killed her mother, and we are all upset about that, but it was not our fault. however, to make this go away, we were willing to give her a gift of $20,000. well, as a gift, that's very sweet of you. we'll put it in the den next to the armoire. -however, as compensation that you owe emily hayden because your negligence led to her mother being brutally murdered, your offer is offensive, even more offensive than your tone. we're done! the law is on our side, mr shore. tragedies happen every day. yes, and you're about to experience one firsthand. -see you in court. aren't you glad you brought me on board? mr hayden, is it true you stabbed your wife to death with a kitchen knife? yes. you hunted her down? -yes. you lay in wait? yes. and finally, after you both exchanged words, you pulled the knife out and stabbed her seven times in the chest. yes. -before you killed emily's mother jackie, she was living at renew, a battered women's shelter? that was my understanding. a shelter, the location of which was kept confidential. as far as i knew. could you tell us how you came to learn of jackie's whereabouts? -my computer. specifically? i logged on to well benefits' web site. jackie's hmo. i had her social security number and her date of birth. -that's all i needed to access the records. and what did you find? her explanation of benefits. it had on it what she was being treated for, the location of her doctor and what her co-pay was. i noticed she was seeing the same shrink every monday, so i went and waited for her outside his office. -emily? the good was we just made a strong opening impression with the jury. the bad was you just had to listen to testimony of how your father killed your mother. that's something that nobody should ever have to experience. here's what you should know about lawyers. -i could have sat you down and prepared you for this testimony so as to brace you. i chose not to. no tears for the plaintiff, no tears for the jury, less money. but, emily, we don't have to keep going here. if you feel this... -i want to keep going. you're sure? yes. okay. but if you don't care to be in the courtroom... -i want to be there. from this point on, that's not entirely necessary. i want to be there! i want you to get him, and i want to see you get him! get who, emily? -we're suing a company. so i heard lynette's cyst didn't go away, and they're gonna have to lance it. all that and her... hello, denny. do you still remember who i am? -or did i leak out your whiffle-ball brain? now her, i know we fired. alan, any news of the case? yes. well, make it quick, because i'm having lunch with judy. -her husband's... again. well, i have good news. the grocery clerk was too busy driving around in his plush new ride to press charges, and the da won't prosecute without a complaining witness. what does that mean? your case is dismissed. -you're free and clear. really? catherine, this is good news. there are only two "get out of jail free" cards in the game, and you've used them both up. i did, didn't i? -yes, you did. catherine, i want you to have this. $3,000? i hope you're not expecting sex for this. i am not. -consider it back pay. thank you, alan. we'll have dinner soon to celebrate. you want to rehire the sandwich guy? well, it wasn't that big a deal. -not a big deal? how would you feel if he raped me? what would you do, just sweep that under the rug? oh, come on, bev. i know the guy upset you. -damn right he upset me. he was completely rude. but, denny, i mean, my feelings don't matter here. the sandwich guy didn't disrespect beverly bridge. he disrespected the fiancée of denny crane. -he disrespected you. that son of a bitch. if you turn to page 56, appendix b... uh, sorry, folks. talked it over with bev. -the sandwich guy? still out. okay, we need to deal with this now. we need to deal with the sandwich guy instead of the multimillion-dollar blake merger? no, bev's influence on denny. -yeah, believe me, that's next on my agenda. bev fired the sandwich guy. i went to denny. he talked to bev, and the sandwich guy is still fired. it's angie all over again. -or marcia. or clovis. from what i have seen, bev is much more formidable than any of the previous mrs cranes. if she gets denny to take his name off the door, people will think the firm's in trouble. -clients will stampede out of here. i have an idea. i realize i haven't been partner for very long, so let me ask you both, how much discretion would i have to make this bev problem go away? no chopping off fingers. no violence of any kind. -none, i promise. then you have as much discretion as you need. and in comparison with other hmos, well benefits would rank where? several prominent publications have listed us at the top of our field in terms of customer satisfaction. -and in terms of your web site, specifically security? it is considered user-friendly but sound. we meet the accepted business standard for internet security. if mr hayden uses his criminal ingenuity to illegally obtain information, that's horrible, but it's what he chose to do. mr orchard, according to my records, your company generates approximately -$1.5 billion in revenues each year. is that right? approximately. oh, forgive me, your honor. before i began my cross-examination, -i meant to congratulate mr orchard. his wife recently gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter. thank you. 8 pounds, 15 ounces. healthy, happy? -thank goodness, yes. she was a bit jaundiced when she came out, though, had a little fluid in her lungs which needed to be aspirated. sorry? no, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to disregard your other children, which so often happens with the arrival of the new one. -you have a 4-year-old and a 10-year-old. your honor! your honor, i just thought mr orchard would like to know his 10-year-old carly likes max babcock, though max doesn't know if he likes her back. at least that's what i ascertained from the chat room. objection! -all this objecting. mr jovanka, you seem in such a nasty mood. could it be the new lexus you ordered online from a broker has been delayed? gosh, i hope you're not forced to keep driving that sedan with the dent in it from your recent fender bender. mr shore! -yes, your honor! by the way, you need to renew your car registration, but congratulations on your colonoscopy. mr shore! too personal? it was just information i was able to obtain from web sites which employ the accepted business standard for internet security. -that is what you called it, mr orchard, correct? correct. here's what i don't understand. you're a billion-dollar company. you're in the business of ensuring the health and well-being of your clientèle. -and yet, you weren't able to ensure the safety of their records, which you could have done had you spent just a fraction of those billions on internet security. mr shore, as we all know, health care costs have spun out of control. information technology is the single largest cost for us and for all other fortune 1000 companies. if we had upgraded to a more secure system, more people would have had to do without health care. and yet fewer would have been murdered. -thank you. to denny crane. now, brad, did you really ask me here on business, or are you trying to do a little move-in on denny crane's girl? just business. i'm here to talk about you and denny. -well, we're very much in love. if anything changes, though, i'll let you know. well, as you know, denny's been married several times, and each time, it's ended in divorce. and each divorce has been traumatic and ultimately costly for denny and crane, poole schmidt. don't worry about it, brad. -i'm sure i'm gonna sign any pre-nup that denny wants me to. this isn't about a pre-nup. this is about avoiding the turmoil of marriage and divorce altogether. you lost me. i'll make it simple. -i'm prepared to give you $500,000 right now if you walk away and never have any contact with denny crane ever again. it will save us a lot of money, time and grief. but i want you to know that we will aggressively fight to keep you from exercising any control over denny or the firm. i'm gonna tell you two things. first, i love denny crane with all my heart, and i will never leave him, not for all the money in the world. -and second... in a moment, you're going to pour your glass of wine all over yourself. crap! hello. hi. i always feel slightly sick to my stomach when i work alone in the office late at night. -i thought you liked being alone. oh, i love being alone. i just prefer to be alone when there's other people around. so how are you doing? fine. -i have a rabbi friend with a small gambling problem who, when he hears someone say they're fine, he always asks again until they say something other than "fine". so... how are you doing? i'm seeing someone who's dying of lung cancer. and while he is a very wealthy man, he can't buy his way out of the secondary cancers that the treatment for the first cancers are causing. and here's the kicker. -he, um, daniel... has completely shut me out of his life. so now i just wait. denise, i don't know you very well. however, you don't strike me as the type of woman who just waits... for anything. may i help you? -i'd like to buy some earplugs, please. $2.03. oh, i'm in trouble now. yes. what's with me? -indeed. i certainly have a lack of impulse control. i must have add or ocd. or one of those other letter things. but i don't want you to think i'm not aware of the hole we're in. -i get it. that's why i want you to know i'm willing to roll up my sleeves and work with you on this. maybe we can set up a little office for me at the firm. i'll be back. -sir. don't go anywhere. what in the hell were you thinking? well, you both gave me discretion to make her go away. but she didn't go away! -so you made this insane offer, put the firm at risk for nothing? when this gets back to denny, and it will, he is going to blow sky high. now bev has a chip to play against us. bev turned down the offer that i made her. she was very offended. -she, um... –set my tie on fire. oh, god! but before she tuned me down, she hesitated. just a little bit, but she hesitated. this is going to get ugly. -how can i not testify? you said yourself i'm the emotion in the case. i'm thinking too much emotion. i, i don't understand. emily, i could put you on the stand, exhibit your anger and sadness for the jury, and they will be moved, but then the defense has their turn, and they'll exploit those very same emotions, -taking advantage of your pain. they'll argue that your vengeance is truly meant for your father, and you've refocused it toward well benefits, the deepest pockets you could find. and they'll have the jury convinced it's a misdirected and therefore frivolous lawsuit, and that's how we'll lose. i suspect the most difficult thing one could ask of you is trust, but that's exactly what i'm asking for now, emily. let's get in there. -mr shore... i wish i could get you to come to the shelter. so many of the women there desperately need legal advice, someone who will speak to them openly and honestly. are they cute? you don't fool me. -you're a compassionate man. we need to get back. ned hayden killed his wife. he's serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. justice has been served. -emily hayden's loss is immeasurable, but whatever closure she is seeking, she must find it in her soul or through her god, not through suing well benefits. well benefits could not reasonably foresee this killing and did nothing to encourage it. they were in compliance with all state and federal regulations regarding internet security. if you find for the plaintiff, you are punishing my client for playing by the rules, and you are opening a pandora's box of lawsuits, not just against hmos, but against all internet businesses. and who will ultimately end up paying for that? -you know. it's you. when i was 11 years old, there came a time when the temptation to explore the more secretive recesses of my older sister's life became more than i could resist. i started by poking around in her room. i ended by reading her diary. -in my defense, she kept it right out in the open, under her mattress. and the little metal clasp on it was simply no match for the paper clip and the screwdriver. i was eventually caught, prompting my sister to have a lock installed in her door. the only consequence of the invasion of my sister's privacy was the temporary loss of her confidence and trust. the invasion of jackie hayden's privacy led to her being stabbed and left to bleed to death in the street. -privacy and the safety and security that that word has always implied has, with time and technology, become an illusion. the national security agency has access to all our e-mail the world over with its echelon system. virtually every web site you visit installs a delicious cookie onto your computer, which is in fact a spy to track your every move. there are predators out in cyberspace collecting data on your children while they innocently type away in chat rooms. and that little waiver you've signed in the doctor's office most likely allows physicians to share your information on the internet with insurance companies, the government, your employer and the courts. -make no mistake, access to your information is easy. all you need is a person's 5-digit zip code, gender and date of birth to uniquely identify 87% of the us population. that is how vulnerable we are, how vulnerable you are. well benefits says they could not have possibly foreseen the actions of an abusive spouse intent on causing his wife harm. -let me tell you what jackie hayden could not foresee, that after years of cruel and violent debasement at the hands of her husband, after she finally found her way out of the shadows, she didn't foresee that the people she most trusted with her health and well-being would lead the darkness right back to her door, and now she's dead. well benefits made it easy for ned hayden to find his wife, as easy as looking under a mattress. madame foreperson, you've reached a verdict? we the jury find in favor of the plaintiff and award compensatory damages in the amount of $950,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $2 million. -your honor, we move for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or in the alternative, a new trial. motion denied. jury is dismissed. we are adjourned. thank you. -thank you, mr shore. you're welcome. i knew you could win this, mr shore. well, that's usually the safe bet. tell me, how does a striking latino woman come by the name irma levine? -congratulations on winning your case. thank you. great work. thank you. i have to go see the da about catherine. -are you heading somewhere? or just waiting? no, i'm definitely not waiting. let her go? what are you, high? -not yet. she already murdered a man. for which a jury found her innocent. and now she's on a crime spree. twice in the same convenience store hardly makes a spree. -then what would you call her, an active senior? no. i would call her a sad and lonely old woman, a woman who spent many years living in solitude with nothing to occupy her wit and intellect. then one day, she became my assistant, and suddenly she was in an environment equal to the task of entertaining and stimulating her magnificent mind. then she should have taken up crocheting, not felony robbery. -granted. but for catherine, this was not about malice nor financial gain, nor thrill seeking. it was about getting my attention, and she got it. her reign of terror is over. i promise. -she pleads guilty to misdemeanor possession of a firearm. i'll recommend probation, no jail time. thank you, ms raines. one thing. yes? -i do this for you, you do something for me. i'm listening. get me an interview at crane, poole schmidt. let's just say being a district attorney isn't entertaining and stimulating my magnificent mind. just get me in the door. -i'll get the job myself, and you'll get catherine piper back. i'll see what i can do. these are for you, dill pickles. they're supposed to alter the metallic taste sensation from the chemotherapy and make your regular food taste better. well, that is the nicest chemo gift i've ever gotten. -this may not be the best time to discuss this, but you're weak, and i'm strong. you don't get to set all the rules in this relationship. your whole life, you have used money to set the rules, and now you're using your illness. i think i should be able to. i... -i got the bum lung. i know, i know, but it, it wasn't right for you to shut me out like that. you're right. i'm sorry. but if you hit me or anything, -i might literally die. scoot. i've been thinking a good deal about my offer to hire you as my personal assistant, i've come to the conclusion, catherine, that i am a terrible boss. -oh, no, dear, i don't think so. my point is, i've found you a job, a better job. i don't know. the pay is comparable. it's a start-up company, and they need someone with imagination and experience, a real people person. -i immediately thought of you. dental? i'm sure something can be worked out. so what would i be doing? pesto chicken, veggie wraps! -roast beef on ciabatta! come and get it. i have fruit and hard-boiled eggs and stuff, but i've got bundt cake. okay, what are you having there? that's $4 for that. -thank you very much. only a sandwich? don't you want something sweet? i've got sweet buns. oh, no. -so you're in the sandwich business now? a silent investor. there you are. i've hardly seen you this episode. it saddens me. -tough case? yes, lack of privacy on the internet is complicated and... overwhelming. it doesn't scare me. my life's an open book. so you wouldn't mind if someone tapped a few keys and discovered you have mad cow? -i don't care. i tell everybody i meet anyway. ever looked yourself up on the internet? i have. denny crane, legal genius. -what about you? no. i don't want to know me. oh, i know you. you're not so bad. -so i've met this girl. you did? irma levine. she gives me a bit of trouble. take her to my wedding. -we just met. bev and i just met. we're the ones getting married. you are, aren't you? yes, i am. -woman: ¶oncetherewas away togetbackhomeward¶ man: ¶arethestarsouttonight?

(blusters) you should rub your head with strong spirits of sugar, caesar. -that will make it grow. cleopatra, do you like to be reminded that you're very young? no. neither do i like to be reminded that i'm... middle-aged. now. -oh. how nice. you look only about 50 in it. you mustn't speak in that manner to caesar. is it true that when caesar caught you on that island... you were painted all over blue? -blue is the color worn by all britons of good standing. in war, we stain our bodies blue... so that, though our enemies may strip us of our clothes and our lives... they cannot strip us of our respectability. oh. let me hang this on. now. -you look splendid. now, caesar! (sighs) have you done talking? the longboat awaits you. the others race to the lighthouse. -is this well set today, britannicus? at pharsalia, it was as blunt as a barrel hoop. it'll split one of the egyptian's hairs today, caesar. i've set it myself. oh! -you're not really going into battle to be killed? no, cleopatra. no man goes into battle to be killed. oh, but they do get killed. my sister's husband was killed in battle. -you mustn't go. let him go. (caesar, britannus laughing) please. please don't go. -what will happen to me if you never come back? are you afraid? no. come to the balcony and you shall see us take the pharos. you must learn to look on battles. -then take me with you. let me come with you to the pharos. no, no, my child. you must stay here till i return. that is well. -now, rufio, march. oh! you won't be able to go. why? what now? -they're drying up the harbor with buckets. a multitude of soldiers. over there. they're dipping up the water. this is your accursed clemency, caesar. -theodotus has brought them. i meant him to, rufio. they've come to put out the fire. the library will keep them busy whilst we seize the lighthouse, eh? (chuckles) more foxing. -caesar. cleopatra, if all goes well, i shall be back this evening. good-bye! (cleopatra) good-bye. give way there! -good-bye, my caesar. come back safe. good-bye. (crowd chattering) (man) who goes there, eh? -(soldier) stand! who are you? centurion, i am apollodorus the sicilian. my calling is to choose beautiful things for beautiful queens. carpets for the queen's apartments in the palace. -the queen? oh, yes, yes. pass him in. pass all these bazaar people in to the queen with their goods. but mind you pass no one out that you have not passed in... not even the queen herself. -(laughing) i have brought my caravan past three sentinels... all so busy staring at the lighthouse that not one of them challenged me. is this your roman discipline? we're not here to watch the land, but the sea. who's this piece of egyptian crockery? -apollodorus, rebuke this roman dog! and bid him bridle his tongue in the presence of the mistress of the queen's household. this is a great lady who stands high with caesar. ftatateeta! what are you dreaming of? -ftatateeta! no, no! you must not come. there are men here. oh, that ever i was born! -ftatateeta, i've thought of something. i want a boat at once. a boat? no, no. you cannot. -apollodorus, speak to the queen. beautiful queen. i am apollodorus the sicilian, your servant from the bazaar. i have no time for carpets today. get me a boat. -you cannot go on the water except in the royal barge. royalty, ftatateeta, lies not in the barge, but in the queen. the touch of your majesty's foot on the meanest boat in the harbor will make it royal. apollodorus, you are my perfect knight, and i will always buy my carpets through you. can you row? -my oar shall be your majesty's wings. ho there! boatman. aye. whither shall i row, my queen? -for the lighthouse. come. stand! you cannot pass. how dare you. -do you know that i am the queen? i have my orders. you cannot pass. ftatateeta, strangle him. keep off there. -pass on to the palace and take the queen in with you. and how if i do neither? then i'll drive this pilum through you. at your service, my friend. help him. -help him. i shall not need help, my lady. what shall it be... sword against pilum or sword against sword? roman against sicilian, curse you. take that! -help! help! (soldier groans) (soldier groaning) (grunts) -(ftatateeta) thrust your knife into the dog's throat, apollodorus! a curse on you! let me go! ho there, guard! help! -help! stab the little roman reptile! spit him on your sword. what is this? make your report, soldier. -this old woman's dangerous. she's as strong as three men. cleopatra, i am loath to offend you, but without caesar's express orders... i dare not let you pass beyond the roman lines. you must withdraw into the palace and examine your carpets there. -i will not. i am the queen. caesar doesn't speak to me as you do. have caesar's centurions changed manners with his scullions? i do my duty. -that is enough for me. majesty, when a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares it his duty. as for you, apollodorus, you may thank the gods... you are not nailed to the palace door with a pilum for your meddling. is this woman your wife? jupiter, no! -not that the lady's not a very striking figure in her own way... but she is not my wife. roman, i am ftatateeta, the mistress of... well, keep your hands off my men, mistress... or i'll have you pitched into the harbor though you were as strong as 1 0 men. we shall see whom isis loves best... her servant ftatateeta or a dog of a roman. -two more men to this post here. see that no one leaves the palace but this man and his merchandise. if he draws his sword again, kill him. get about your business. off with you. -(sighs) do not tantalize a poor man. pearl of queens, the centurion is still at hand. the roman soldiers are incorruptible... when their officers are looking. -i shall have to carry your word to caesar. are these carpets very heavy? it matters not how heavy. there are plenty of porters. how do they put them into the boats? -do they throw them down? not into the small boats, majesty. it would sink them. not into that man's boat, for instance? no, no. -too small. but you can take a carpet to caesar in it if i send one? assuredly. and you will have it carried gently down the steps and take great care of it? great, great care? -more than of my own body. good. come, ftatateeta. no, apollodorus. you must not come. -i will choose my carpet myself. you must wait here. follow this lady. obey her. this way. -and take your shoes off before you put your feet on those stairs! listen. were you sent here to watch me or watch the egyptians? we know our duty. well, then why don't you do it? -look! they're going to recapture the pharos. they will attack by land and sea along the great mole! stir yourselves! the hunt is up! -yes, sir. rufio, this has been a mad expedition. we shall be beaten. the egyptians cannot be such fools... as not to storm the barricade and swoop down on us here before it is finished. it's the first time i've ever run an avoidable risk. -i shouldn't have come to egypt. an hour ago, you were all for victory. yes. i was a fool. rash, rufio. -boyish. boyish? not a bit of it. here. what are these for? -to eat. that's what's the matter with you. when a man comes to your age, he runs down before the midday meal. go on, eat. and drink. -then take another look at our chances. my age? yes, i'm an old man. worn out now. quite true, rufio. -now, achillas is still in his prime. ptolemy is a boy. well, every dog has his day. i've had mine. i cannot complain. -these dates are not bad, rufio. that's my old caesar. it's a great war... now we've got rid of the women. you again? -keep your distance. come within a yard of me, you old crocodile, and i'll give you this in your jaw. peace, roman fellow. you are now single-handed. apollodorus, this carpet is cleopatra's present to caesar. -it has rolled up in it 1 0 precious goblets of the thinnest iberian crystal... and a hundred eggs of the sacred blue pigeon. on your honor, let not one of them be broken. on my head be it. lay it carefully into the boat. those eggs of which the lady speaks must weigh more than a pound apiece. -this boat is much too small for such a load. yes! yes! me! (all shouting) -mine's bigger yet! oh, thou injurious porter! oh, thou unnatural son of a she-camel! my boat can carry five men. shall it not carry your lordship and a bale of pigeons' eggs? -oh, thou mangy dromedary! the gods shall punish thee for this envious wickedness. oh! i cannot quit this bale now to beat thee... but, another day, i will lie in wait for thee. (grumbles) -in the name of the gods, apollodorus, run no risks with that bale. fear not, thou venerable grotesque. i guess its great worth. into the boat with it gently, my sons, my children. gently, ye dogs! -so. 'tis well. do not step on it! do not step on it! be not excited, mistress. all is well. -oh, thou brute beast. thou hast given my heart a turn. here. (chuckles) ye hungry ones. -robber of the poor. it's not enough! oh! o bounteous prince! o lord of the bazaar! -o favored of the gods! o father to all porters of the market! farewell, ftatateeta. i shall be at the lighthouse before the egyptians. farewell, valiant pilum pitcher. -(apollodorus) my heart, my heart spread out thy wings spread out thy wings shake off thy heavy load of love -platoon, follow me! caesar! caesar, sir. our brave mariners have captured a treasure. our enemies are delivered into our hands. -in that bag? wait till you hear, caesar. this bag contains all the letters that have passed between our enemies. well? well, we shall now know who your foes are. -the name of every man who's plotted against you since you crossed the rubicon... may be in these papers, for all we know. put 'em in the fire. put them... in the fiire. would you have me waste years of my life condemning men who'll be my friends... when i've proved that my friendship is worth more than that of my enemies? -but your honor... the honor of rome. i do not make human sacrifices to my honor as your druids do. since you won't burn them, at least i can drown them! caesar, this is mere eccentricity. are all traitors to be allowed to go free for the sake of a... paradox? -caesar, when the islander has finished preaching, call me again. o caesar, my great master... if only i could persuade you to regard life seriously, as men do in my country. do they truly do so, britannus? have you not been there? have you not seen them? -what briton speaks as you do in your moments of levity? what briton neglects to attend the services at the sacred grove? what briton wears clothes of many colors as you do... instead of... (chuckles) plain blue... as all solid, well-esteemed men should? these are moral questions with us. well, well, my friend. -someday i shall settle down... and wear a blue toga perhaps. meanwhile, i must get on as best i can in my flippant roman way. what now? hail! what is this? -who are you? how did you come here? calm yourself, my friend. i'm not going to eat you. hail, great caesar! -i am apollodorus the sicilian, an artist. an artist? a vagabond! peace, man. apollodorus is a famous patrician amateur. -i crave the gentleman's pardon. i understood him to say he was a professional. (chuckles) welcome, apollodorus. what is your business? -first, to deliver to you a present from the queen of queens. who is that? cleopatra of egypt. apollodorus, this is no time for playing with presents. pray you, go back to the queen and tell her that if all goes well... we shall return to the palace this evening. -caesar, i cannot return. as i approached the lighthouse, some fool threw a great leathern bag into the sea. it broke the nose of my boat. i had hardlly time to get to the shore before my poor little cockleshell sank. i am sorry, apollodorus. -the fool shall be rebuked. well, well. what have you brought me? the queen will be hurt if i don't look at it. caesar, have we time to waste on this trumpery? -the queen's only a child. just so. that's why we mustn't disappoint her. caesar, it's a persian carpet... a beauty! and in it are... so i'm told... pigeons' eggs and crystal goblets and fragile, precious things. -i dare not for my head have it carried up that narrow ladder from the causeway. swing it up by the crane then! the crane? (chuckles) caesar. i have sworn to tender this bale of carpet as i tender my own life. -then let them swing you up at the same time. if the chain breaks, you and the pigeons' eggs will perish together. is caesar serious? well, his manner is frivolous. it's because he's an italian. -but he means what he says. serious or not, he spake well. give me a squad of soldiers to work the crane. no, no. it's worked by an elderly tyrian and his son... a well-conducted youth of 1 4. -what? an old man and a boy work that? twenty men, you mean. no, no. two only, i assure you. -they have counterweights and a machine with boiling water, which i don't understand. so it isn't of british design. (clears throat) leave the crane to me. go and await the descent of the chain. -(chuckles) good. you will see me presently there, rising like the sun with my treasure. are you really going to wait here for this foolery, caesar? why not? the egyptians will let you know why not... if they've got enough sense to make a rush before our barricade's finished. -and here we are waiting like children to see a carpet full of pigeons' eggs. fear not, my son rufio. when the first egyptian takes his first step along the mole, the alarm will sound... and we two will reach the barricade before the egyptians. we two, rufio... i, an old man, and you, his biggest boy. -and the old man will get there first. i wish i had some more of those dates. lower away! lower away! easy there! -further round. so! haul up! gently. slowly. -slowly. mind the eggs. slowly. slowly. haul away! -stand off, my friends. let caesar see. nothing but a heap of shawls. where are the pigeons' eggs? approach, caesar, and search for them in the shawls. -(gasps) treachery! stand back, caesar. i saw the shawls move. there's something alive in there. ooh! -it's a serpent. dare caesar thrust his hand in where the serpent moves? treacherous dog! peace. put up your swords. -apollodorus, your serpent seems to breathe very regularly. why, this is a pretty little snake. (laughs) let's have the rest of you. oh! -i am smothered. oh, caesar. a man stood on me in the boat... and then... then a great sack of something fell upon me out of the sky... then the boat sank, and then i was swung up into the air and bumped down. well, never mind. here you are, safe and sound at last. -aye. and now that she is here, what are we going to do with her? she cannot stay here without the companionship of some matron. shocking! aren't you glad to see me? -yes, i'm very glad. but rufio is very angry, and britannus is shocked. you can have their heads cut off, can't you? they wouldn't be so useful with their heads cut off as they are now, my seabird. we shall have to go away presently and cut off some of your egyptians' heads. -how will you like being left here with the chance of being captured... by that little brother of yours if we're beaten, huh? you mustn't leave me alone, caesar. you will not leave me alone, will you? what? not when the trumpet sounds and all our lives... depend upon caesar being at the barricade before the egyptians, eh? -let them lose their lives. they are only soldiers. cleopatra... when that trumpet sounds, we must take every man his life in his hands... and throw it in the face of death. and of my soldiers who have trusted me... there's not one whose hand i shall not hold more sacred than your head. apollodorus, take her back to the palace. -am i a dolphin, caesar, to cross the seas with young ladies on my back? my boat is sunk. yours are either at the barricade or have returned to the city. it doesn't matter. i will not go back. -(sobs) nobody cares for me. oh, cleopatra. you want me to be killed! (sobbing) -my poor child, your life matters little here to anyone but yourself. come, rufio. caesar, do not leave me! caesar, we are cut off. the egyptians have landed from the western harbor between us and the barricade. -rufio, my men at the barricade are lost. i've murdered them. aye. that's what comes of fooling with this girl here. (all shouting) -caesar! caesar. the egyptians. i know. we must defend ourselves here. -but i've thrown the ladder into the sea. they can't get in without it. and we can't get out. have you thought of that? not get out? -why not? you have ships in the east harbor. our galleys are standing in towards us already. and, pray, by what road are we to walk to the galleys? the road that leads everywhere... -the diamond path of the sun and the moon. how far is the nearest galley? fifty fathom. no. nearly a quarter of a mile, apollodorus. -defend yourselves here until i send a boat from that galley. have you wings perhaps? water wings, soldier! behold! bravo, apollodorus! -bravo! byjupiter! i will do that too. britannus. are you mad? -you shall not. why not? can i not swim as well as he? can an old fool dive and swim like a young one? old? -rufio, you forget yourself. but me! me! what is to become of me? i'll carry you on my back to the galley like a dolphin. -rufio, when you see me rise to the surface, throw her in. no, no, no! i shall be drowned. then in with you after her... both of you! caesar, i am a man and a briton, not a fish. -i must have a boat. i can't swim. neither can i. stay here, then, britannus, until i recapture the lighthouse. i'll not forget you. -now, rufio. have you made up your mind to this folly? the egyptians have made it up for me. and mind where you jump. i don't want you in the small of my back as i come up. -one last word, caesar. do not let yourself be seen in the more fashionable part of alexandria... until you've changed your clothes. ho, apollodorus! the white upon the blue above- is purple on the green below! -let me see. let me see! he will be drowned. oh! aaah! -(screams) (both laughing) he's got her! (shouting) hold the fort, briton. -caesar will not forget you. hip, hip, hip hooray! hip... hooray! (man) ah. -another royal banquet? in caesar's honor. these romans are magicians. for six months, a mere handful of them have held the palace... against the whole of egypt's armed forces. and look at their escape from the pharos. -who but a magician could swim like a dolphin at caesar's age... carrying the queen on his back? that might be the queen's magic. she rides on caesar's back on land now as on the sea! (all laughing) (all giggling) -(harp) you laugh. but take care. take care. i will find out someday how to make myself served as caesar is served. -old hooknose! (all laughing) silence! do you know why... i allow you all to chatter impertinently just as you please... instead of treating you as ftatateeta would treat you if she were queen? -because you try to imitate caesar in everything... and he lets everyone say what they please to him. (all giggle) no. but because i asked him one day why he did so... and he said, "let your women talk, and you will learn something from them." "what have i to learn from them?" i said. -"what they are," said he. and, oh, you should have seen his eyes as he said it. you would have curled up, you shallow things. (all giggle) at whom are you laughing? -at me or at caesar? at caesar. if you were not a fool, you would laugh at me. and if you were not a coward, you would not be afraid to tell me so. heigh-ho. -i wish caesar were back in rome. it will be a bad day for you when he goes. oh, if i were not ashamed to let him see that i am as cruel at heart as my father... i would make you repent that speech. why do you wish him away? -he makes you so terribly prosy and serious and learned and philosophical. it's worse than being religious at our ages. (all giggling) cease this endless cackling, will you! hold your tongues. -well, well. we must try and live up to caesar. pothinus craves the ear of the queen. i suppose he has bribed you to admit him to me? not by my father's gods. -have i not told you not to deny things? you all sell audiences to the queen... as if i saw whom you please and not whom i please. go, take the bribe and bring in pothinus. but... don't answer me. -go. i want to learn to play the harp with my own hands. caesar loves music. can you teach me? assuredly. -i and no one else can teach the queen. all other teachers are quacks. i have exposed them repeatedlly. good. you shall teach me. -how long will it take? not very long. only four years. your majesty must first become proficient in the philosophy of pythagoras. and then... -has she become proficient in the philosophy of pythagoras? she learns as a dog learns. well, then, i will learn as a dog learns, for she plays better than you. you shall give me a lesson every day for a fortnight. after that, whenever i strike a false note, you shall be flogged. -if i strike so many that there is no time to flog you... you shall be thrown into the nile to feed the crocodiles. give the girl a gold piece and send them away. what is this? answering the queen forsooth. out with you. -well, pothinus, what is the latest news from your rebel friends? i am no friend of rebellion. and a prisoner does not receive news. you are no more a prisoner than i am, than caesar is. these six months we have been besieged in the palace by my subjects. -you are allowed to walk on the beach among the soldiers. can i go further myself? or can caesar? you are but a child, cleopatra... i see you do not know the latest news, pothinus. -what is that? that cleopatra is no longer a child. shall i tell you how to grow much older and much, much wiser in one day? i should prefer to grow wiser without growing older. well, go up to the top of the lighthouse... and get someone to take you by the hair... and throw you into the sea! -she is right, pothinus. you will come to the shore with much conceit washed out of you. begone, all of you. i will speak with pothinus alone. (giggling) -what are you waiting for? it is not meet that the queen remain alone. must i sacrifice you to your father's gods, ftatateeta... to teach you that i am queen of egypt and not you? you are like the rest of them. you want to be what these romans call a... a "new woman." -now, pothinus... why did you bribe ftatateeta to bring you hither? cleopatra, what they tell me is true. you are changed. do you speak with caesar every day for six months, and you will be changed. it is common talk that you are infatuated with this old man. -"infatuated"? what does that mean? "made foolish," is it not? oh, no. i wish i were. -wish that you were made foolish? how so? when i was foolish, i did what i liked. now that caesar has made me wise... it is no use my liking or disliking. i do what must be done and have no time to attend to myself. -this is not happiness... but it is greatness. i think if caesar were gone... i could govern the egyptians. cleopatra... this may be the vanity of youth. no, no. -it is not that i am so clever, but that the others are so stupid. truly that is the great secret. now, tell me what you came to say. i? nothing. -nothing? at least to beg for my liberty. that is all. for that, you would have knelt to caesar. no, pothinus. -you came with some plan that depended on cleopatra being a little nursery kitten. now that cleopatra is a queen, your plan is upset. is cleopatra then indeed a queen and no longer caesar's prisoner and slave? pothinus, we are all caesar's slaves... all we in this land of egypt... whether we will or no. -and she who is wise enough to know this... will reign when caesar departs. you harp on caesar's departure. what if i do? does he not love you? love me? -pothinus, caesar loves no one. he makes friends with everyone as he does with dogs and children. his kindness to me is a wonder. neither mother, father nor nurse have ever taken so much care of me... or thrown open their thoughts to me so freely. but how can you be sure that he does not love you as men love women? -because i cannot make him jealous. i have tried. (chuckles) perhaps i should have asked, then, do you love him? can one love a god? -besides, i love another roman. no god, but a man. one who can love and hate. and one whom i can hurt and would hurt me. does caesar know this? -yes. and he is not angry? he promises to send him to egypt to please me. i do not understand this man. you understand caesar? -how could you? i do, by instinct. your majesty caused me to be admitted today. what message has the queen for me? this. -you think that by making my brother king, you will rule in egypt... because you are his guardian and he is a little silly. the queen is pleased to say so. the queen is pleased to say this also: caesar will eat up you... and achillas and my brother... as a cat eats up mice. -and he will put on this land of egypt as a shepherd puts on his garment. and when he has done that, he will return to rome... and leave cleopatra here as his viceroy. that he shall never do! we have a thousand men to his 1 0. and we shall drive him and his beggarly legions into the sea. -you rant like any common fellow. cleopatra... enough, enough! ftatateeta. caesar has spoiled me for talking to weak things like you. -i know to whom i must go now. let me go forth from this hateful place. what angers you? the curse of all the gods of egypt be upon her. she has sold her country to the roman that she may buy it back from him with her kisses. -fool. did she not tell you that she would have caesar gone? you listened? i took care that some honest woman should be at hand whilst you were with her. mark this, mistress. -you thought, before caesar came... that egypt should presently be ruled by you and your crew in the name of cleopatra. i set myself against it. aye! that it might be ruled by you and your crew in the name of ptolemy. well, better me, or even you, than a woman with a roman heart... -and that is what cleopatra is now become. (scoffs) whilst i live, she shall never rule. so guide yourself accordingly. (no audible dialogue) -wait here. here, your excellency. the roman commander will await caesar here. hmm. ah. -(sighs) that was a climb. (sighs) how high have we come? we are on the palace roof, o beloved of victory. good. then the beloved of victory has no more stairs to get up. -caesar approaches. why, rufio... a new baldric. a new golden pommel to your sword. and you've had your hair cut. oh, but not your beard. -impossible. (sniffs) perfumed. byjupiter olympus. well, is it to please myself? no, rufio, my son, but to please me. -to celebrate my birthday. your birthday. you always have a birthday when there's a pretty girl to be flattered... or an ambassador to be conciliated. rufio. well, we had seven of them in 1 0 months last year. -alas, rufio, i shall never break myself of these petty deceits. have you noticed i'm before my time? ah? i thought that meant something. what is it? -pothinus wants to speak to you. i advise you to see him. there's some plotting going on here among the women. who is pothi... oh, yes. -has he not escaped? no. why not? have i not told you always to let prisoners escape... unless there are special orders to the contrary? are there not enough mouths to be fed without his? -yes. and if you'd have a little sense and let me cut his throat, you'd save his rations. anyway, he won't escape. he prefers to stay and spy on us. and you want me to see him. -oh, i don't want anything. i daresay you'll do what you like. don't put it on me. well, well. let's have him in. -ho there, guard! release your man and send him up. who's to dine with us besides cleopatra? apollodorus the sicilian. oh, that popinjay. -come. the popinjay is an amusing dog... tells a story, sings a song and saves us the trouble of flattering the queen. well, he can swim a bit and fence a bit. he might be worse. if only he knew how to hold his tongue. -the gods forbid he should ever learn. ah. pothinus. you're welcome. what's the news this afternoon? -caesar, i come to warn you of a danger and to make you an offer. never mind the danger. make the offer. never mind the offer. what's the danger? -caesar, you think that cleopatra is devoted to you. my friend, i already know what i think. come to your offer. i will deal plainly. i know not by what magic... you have been enabled to defend the palace... and a few yards of beach against a city and an army... but we know now that your gods are irresistible... and that you are a worker of miracles. -i no longer threaten you. (laughs) very handsome of you indeed. so be it, you are the master. yes, yes, my friend. but what then? -spit it out, man. what have you to say? i have to say that you have a traitoress in your camp. cleopatra... the queen! -should have spat it out sooner, you fool. now it's too late. what is he doing here? just going to tell me something about you. you shall hear it. -proceed, pothinus. i... caesar... out with it. what i have to say is for your ears, not for the queen's. -there are means of making you speak. take care. caesar does not employ those means. my dear, when a man has anything to tell in this world... the difficulty is not to make him tell it but to prevent him from telling it too often. let me celebrate my birthday by setting you free. -farewell. we shall not meet again. caesar, this mercy is foolish. will you not give me a private audience? your life may depend on it. -ho there, guard! pass the prisoner out. he's released. now off with you. you've lost your chance. -i will speak. you see? torture wouldn't have wrung a word from him. caesar, you have taught cleopatra the arts by which the romans govern the world. alas, my friend, they cannot even govern themselves. -what then? what then? are you so besotted with her beauty... that you do not see that she is impatient to reign in egypt alone... and that her heart is set on your departure? liar! what? -protestations? contradictions? no, i do not deign to contradict. let him talk. from her own lips i have heard it. -you are to be her cat's-paw. you are to tear the crown... from her brother's head and set it on her own... delivering us all into her hand. delivering yourself also. and then caesar can return to rome. or depart through the gate of death, which is nearer and surer. -well, and is not this very natural? natural? then you do not resent treachery? resent? o thou foolish egyptian. -what have i to do with resentment? do i resent the wind when it chills me... or the night when it makes me stumble in the darkness? to tell me such a story as this is to tell me that the sun will rise tomorrow. but it is false, false! i swear it! -it is true, though you swore it a thousand times and believed all you swore. come, rufio. let us see pothinus past the guard. i have a word to say to him. i must give the queen a moment to recover herself. -tell your friends, pothinus, they mustn't think... i'm opposed to a reasonable settlement of the country's affairs. ftatateeta. ftatateeta! peace, child. -be comforted. can they hear us? no, dear heart. no. if he leaves the palace alive, never see my face again. -he? pothinus? strike out his life as i strike his name from your lips! dash him down from the wall. break him on the stones. -kill, kill, kill him. the dog shall perish. fail in this, and you go out from before me forever. so be it. you shall not see my face until his eyes are darkened. -come soon. soon. as the light dies... he shall die. so you've come back to me, caesar. i thought you were angry. -welcome, apollodorus. cleopatra grows more womanly beautiful from week to week. truth, apollodorus? far, far short of the truth. friend rufio threw a pearl into the sea. -caesar fished up a diamond. caesar fished up a touch of rheumatism. come on. to dinner. (cleopatra) yes. -to dinner! i've ordered such a dinner for you, caesar. what are we to have? peacocks' brains. peacocks' brains, apollodorus. -not for me. i prefer nightingales' tongues. roast boar, rufio. ah! good! -what has become of my leathern cushion? i've got new ones for you, caesar. these cushions, caesar, are of maltese gauze, stuffed with rose leaves. rose leaves? am i a caterpillar? -oh, what a shame. my new cushions. what shall we serve to whet caesar's appetite? any oysters? assuredly. -british oysters? british oysters, of course. oysters then. sea hedgehogs for me. have we nothing solid to begin with? -fieldfares with asparagus. fattened fowls, rufio. have some fattened fowls. aye! that'll do. -caesar will deign to choose his wine? try the sicilian, caesar. bring me my barley water. (groans) bring me my falernian. it's a waste of time giving you dinner, caesar. -my scullions would not condescend to your diet. well, well. let's try the falernian. but when i return to rome, i shall make laws against these extravagances. i will even get the laws carried out. -never mind. today you are to be like other people... idle, luxurious and kind. well, well. for once, i will sacrifice my comfort. there. -so now are you satisfied? i no longer believe anything. my brains are asleep. besides, who knows whether i shall return to rome? how? -huh? what? one year of rome is like another... except that i grow older. it's no better here in egypt. the old men, when they're tired of life, say... -"we have seen everything except the source of the nile." why not see that? cleopatra... will you come with me and track the flood to its cradle... in the heart of the regions of mystery? shall i make you a new kingdom and build you a holy city... there in the great unknown? yes, yes. -you shall. now he'll conquer africa with two legions before i finish the roast boar. no scoffiirg. this is a noble scheme. come. -let's name the holy city and consecrate it with sicilian wine. cleopatra shall name it herself. it shall be called... caesar's gift to his beloved. no, no. -something vaster than that. something universal, like the starry firmament. why not simply the cradle of the nile? no. the nile is my ancestor, and he's a god. -oh, i've just thought of something. the nile shall name it himself. let us call upon him all together. send for him. away with all of you. -(stops) go. i am a priestess and have power to take your charge from you. what hocus-pocus is this? 'tis not hocus-pocus. -to do it properly, we should kill something to please him. but perhaps he will answer caesar without that if we spill some wine to him. why not call on our hawk-headed friend there? shh! he will hear you and be angry. -the source of the nile is not in his district, i expect. now let us call on the nile all together. you must say with me "send us thy voice, father nile." send us thy voice, father nile. what was that? -what was that? it is nothing. they are beating some slave. nothing? a man with a knife in him, i'll swear. -a murder? shh! silence. did you hear that? another cry? -no. a thud. something fell, i think. something with bones in it, huh? rufio... -will you leave me, caesar? apollodorus, are you going? faith, dearest queen. my appetite is gone. apollodorus, go down to the courtyard. -find out what has happened. your soldiers have killed somebody perhaps. what does it matter? this must be seen to. is she drunk? -not with wine. the queen looks again on the face of her servant. there's some mischief between those two. cleopatra, what has happened? nothing, dearest caesar. -nothing. i am innocent. dearest caesar, are you angry with me? why do you look at me so? i have been here with you all the time. -how could i know what has happened? that is true. of course it is true. you know it is true, rufio. i shall know presently. -caesar, remember, your bodyguard is within call. why do you allow rufio to speak to me so? you should teach him his place. teach him to be my enemy and to hide his thoughts from me as you are now hiding yours. why do you say that, caesar? -indeed, indeed, i am not hiding anything. you are wrong to treat me like this! i am only a child, and you turn into stone because you think someone has been killed. i can't bear it. (sobs) -but there. i know you hate tears. you shall not be troubled with them. only, i am so silly. i cannot help being hurt when you speak coldly. -of course you are quite right. it is dreadful to think of anyone being killed... or even hurt, and i hope nothing really serious... what has frightened you into this? what have you done? he's been murdered! -ah. that sounds like the answer. i have not betrayed you, caesar! i swear it! i know that. -i haven't trusted you. (all shouting) the whole town's gone mad, i think. they're for tearing the palace down and driving us into the sea straightaway. we laid hold of this renegade as we were clearing them out of the courtyard. -release him. what has offended the citizens, lucius septimius? what did you expect, caesar? pothinus was a favorite of theirs. what has happened to pothinus? -i set him free here but an hour ago. did they not pass him out? aye. through the gallery arch, 60 feet above ground, with three inches of steel in his ribs. he is as dead as pompey. -we are quits now as to killing, you and i. assassinated. our prisoner. our guest. rufio. -whoever did it was a wise man... and a friend of yours. but none of us had a hand in it. no, it's no use frowning at me. he was slain by order of the queen of egypt. -i am notjulius caesar, the dreamer... who allows every slave to insult him. rufio said i did well. now the others shall judge of me too. this pothinus sought to make me conspire with him to betray caesar. i refused. -and he cursed me and came privily to caesar to accuse me ofhis own treachery. he insulted me. me, the queen, to my face. caesar would not avenge me. he spoke him fair and set him free. -was i right to avenge myself? speak, lucius. i do not gainsay it, but you'll get little thanks for it from caesar. apollodorus, speak. was i wrong? -i have but one word of blame, most beautiful. you should have called on me, your knight, and in fair duel, i should have slain the slanderer. i will be judged by your very slave, caesar. britannus, speak. was i wrong? -were treachery, falsehood and disloyalty left unpunished... society must become like an arena full of wild beasts, tearing one another to pieces. caesar is in the wrong. and so the verdict is against me, it seems. listen to me, caesar. if one man in all alexandria can be found to say i did wrong... -i swear to have myself crucified on the door of the palace by my own slaves. if one man in all the world can be found, now or forever... to know that you did wrong... that man will have either to conquer the world as i have or be crucified by it. do you hear? these knockers at your gates are also believers in vengeance and in stabbing. you have slain their leader. -it is right that they should slay you. and so, to the end of history, murder shall breed murder... always in the name of right and honor and peace... until the gods are tired of blood and create a race that can understand. let the queen of egypt now give her orders... for vengeance and take her measures for defense... for she has renounced caesar. you will not desert me, caesar. -you will defend the palace. you have taken the powers of life and death upon you. i am only a dreamer. but... they will kill me. why not? -in pity... pity? what, has it come to this so suddenly that nothing can save you but pity? did it save pothinus? (all shouting) -caesar, enough of preaching. the enemy's at the gate. and what has held him baffled at the gate all these months? was it my folly, as you deem it, or your wisdom? in this egyptian red sea of blood, whose hand has held all your heads above the waves? -and yet when caesar says to such an one, "friend, go free"... you, clinging for your little life to my sword... dare steal out and stab him in the back. by the gods, i'm tempted to open my hand and let you all sink into the flood. will you desert us because we're a parcel of fools? i mean no harm by killing. i do it as a dog kills a cat... by instinct. -we're all dogs at your heels, but we have served you faithfully. alas, rufio, my son... as dogs, we are like to perish now in the streets. caesar, what you say has an olympian ring in it... but i'm still on the side of cleopatra. if we must die, she shall not want the devotion of a man's heart or the strength of a man's arm. but i do not want to die. -oh, ignoble. ignoble. it may be ignoble, but i, too, mean to live as long as i can. well, my friend, you are likely to outlive caesar. does caesar despair? -he who has never hoped can never despair. caesar, in good or bad fortune, looks his fate in the face. look it in the face now, and it will smile as it always has to caesar. you presume to encourage me? i offer you my services. -i will change sides if you will have me. what? at this point? at this point. do you suppose caesar is mad? -to trust you? i do not ask him to trust me until he is victorious. i ask for my life and a command in caesar's army. and since caesar is a fair dealer, i will pay in advance. pay? -how? with a piece of good news for you. what news? "what news?" what news, did you say, my son rufio? -the relief has arrived. mithridates of pergamus is on the march. is it not so, lucius septimius? he has taken pelusium. lucius, you are henceforth my officer. -rufio, the egyptians must have sent every soldier from the city... to prevent mithridates crossing the nile. there is nothing in the streets now but mob. mob! it is so. mithridates is marching by the great road to memphis to cross above the delta. -achillas will fight him there. achillas shall fight caesar there. see, rufio. here is the palace. mm-hmm. -here is the theater. now, you take 20 men and pretend to go by this street. and whilst they're stoning you, out will come the cohorts by this and this. my streets are right, are they, lucius? aye. -that's the fig market. yes. i saw on the day we arrived. britannus, tell petronius that within an hour... half our forces must take ship for the western lake. and see to my horse and armor. -with the rest, i shall march round the lake and up the nile and catch achillas in the desert. lucius, give the word to start. apollodorus, lend me your sword and your right arm for this campaign. aye. and my heart and life to boot. -i accept both. are you ready? ready for art... the art of war! come! this is something like business. -is it not, my only son? you understand about the streets, rufio. i think i do. i'll get through them, at all events. caesar. -have you forgotten me? oh, i'm busy now, my child. busy. when i return, your affair shall be settled. farewell. -be good and patient. that game's played and lost, cleopatra. (chuckles) the woman always gets the worst of it. go. follow your master. -a word first. tell your executioner that if pothinus had been properly killed... in the throat... he wouldn't have called out. now, your man bungled his work. how do you know it was a man? it wasn't you. -no. you were with us when it happened. was it she, with her own hands? whoever it was, let my enemies beware of her. look to it, rufio... you who dare make the queen of egypt a fool before caesar. -i will look to it, cleopatra. eh? and then, home to rome! (all) hail, caesar! hail, caesar! -ftatateeta. (crowd screaming) ftatateeta. it is dark, and i am alone. come to me. -ftatateeta! fta... (whimpers) (gasps) (horn blowing) -(all shouting) (shouts) part brute, part woman and part god. (crowd cheering) (fanfare) -here he comes. (laughs) (crowd) hail, caesar! hail, caesar! hail, caesar! -hail, caesar! hail, caesar! hail! hail! hail! -the hour of caesar's farewell to egypt has arrived. and now, rufio, what remains to be done before i go? why, you've not yet appointed a roman governor for this province. what say you to mithridates of pergamus? why, that you'll want him elsewhere. -indeed. well, what do you say to yourself? (gasping) i? i, a governor? are you dreaming? -do you not know i'm only the son of a freedman? has not caesar called you his son? peace a while there, and hear me. hear the service, quality, rank and name of the roman governor. by service, caesar's shield. -by quality, caesar's friend. by rank, a roman soldier. (all) hail, caesar! by name, rufio! hail, caesar! -hail, caesar! aye. i'm caesar's shield... but what use will i be when i'm no longer on caesar's arm? where is that british islander of mine? here, caesar. -and who bade you, pray, thrust yourself into the battle of the delta... uttering the barbarous cries of your native land? caesar, i ask you to excuse the language that escaped me in the heat of the moment. and how did you, who cannot swim, cross the canal with us when we stormed the camp? caesar, i clung to the tail of your horse. these aren't the deeds of a slave, britannus, but of a free man. -caesar, i was born free. but they call you caesar's slave. only as caesar's slave have i found real freedom. well said. ungrateful that i am, i was about to set you free... but now i will not part with you for a million talents. -that roman knows how to make men serve him. apollodorus, i leave the art of egypt in your charge. remember, rome loves art and will encourage it. i understand, caesar. egypt must pay her tribute to rome in art. -mm-hmm. now, what else have i to do before i embark? there's something i cannot remember. i wonder what it can be. well, it must remain undone. -we must not waste this favorable wind. caesar, i'm loath to let you go back to rome without your shield. there are too many daggers there. it matters not. i've always disliked the idea of dying. -i'd rather be killed. farewell, rufio. farewell. farewell, apollodorus. ah. -i knew there was something. how could you let me forget her, rufio? has cleopatra no part in this leave-taking? had i gone without seeing you, i should never have forgiven myself. is this mourning for me? -no. ah, that was thoughtless of me. it's for your brother. no. for whom then? -ask the roman governor whom you have left us. rufio? yes. rufio. he who is to rule in caesar's name, in caesar's way... according to caesar's boasted laws of life. -he is to rule as he can, cleopatra. he has taken the work upon him... and will do it in his own way. not in your way then... without punishment, without revenge, without judgment? ah, that is the right way, the great way, the only possible way in the end. believe it, rufio, if you can. -why, i believe it, caesar, but look you. cleopatra had a tigress that killed men at her bidding. i thought she might bid it kill you someday. so, without malice, i only cut its throat. that's why cleopatra comes to you in mourning. -he has shed the blood of my servant ftatateeta. upon your head be it, caesar, as upon his, if you hold him free of it. on my head be it, then, for it was well done, rufio. come. don't be angry with me. -i'm sorry for that poor totateeta. (chuckling) ah. you're laughing. does that mean reconciliation? -no, no, no. only it is so ridiculous to hear you call her totateeta. as much a child as ever, cleopatra. haven't i made a woman of you after all? oh, it is you who are a great baby. -you make me seem silly because you will not behave seriously. but you have treated me badly, and i do not forgive you. bid me farewell. i will not. i will send you a beautiful present from rome. -beauty from rome to egypt indeed. what can rome give me that egypt cannot give me? that's true, caesar. if the present is to be really beautiful... i shall have to buy it for you in alexandria. -you're forgetting the treasures for which rome is most famous, my friend. you cannot buy them in alexandria. what are they, caesar? her sons. come, cleopatra. -forgive me and bid me farewell... and i will send you a man. not old and ripe for the knife. not hiding a bald head under his conqueror's laurels. not stooped with the weight of the world on his shoulders... but brisk and fresh and strong and young... hoping in the morning, fighting in the day and reveling in the evening. will you take such an one in exchange for caesar? -his name? his name? shall it be mark antony? (squeals) (chuckles) you're a bad hand at a bargain, mistress... if you'll swap caesar for antony. -so now are you satisfied? you will not forget? i will not forget. farewell. i do not think we shall meet again. -hail and farewell! hail, caesar, and farewell! (all) hail, caesar, and farewell! (sniffies) oh, no tears, dearest queen. -they stab your servant to the heart. he will return someday. i hope not. but i can't help crying... just the same. (crowd) hail, caesar, and farewell! -by apis, persian, thy gods are good to thee. try yet again, o captain. double or quits! no more. i am not in the vein. -captain, a stranger approaches. stand. who goes there? the bearer of evil tidings. pass him in. -who art thou that laughest in the house of cleopatra the queen, and in the teeth of belzanor, the captain of her guard? i am bel affris, descended from the gods. hail, cousin! hail, cousin! all the queen's guards are descended from the gods, save myself. -i am a persian, descended from many kings. hail, cousins! hail, mortal! you have been in battle, bel affris; and you are a soldier among soldiers. -you will not let the queen's women have the first of your tidings. i have no tidings, except that we shall have our throats cut presently, women, soldiers, and all. i thought so. tell us what we fell. yes, tell us, tell us. -know then that i serve in a guard in the temple of ra, here in memphis. we went to alexandria to inquire of king ptolemy, how we egyptians do with a roman pompey newly come to our shores after his defeat by caesar at pharsalia. caesar defeated pompey? thus roman fight roman? even as egyptian fights egyptian. -what did you learn from the queen's brother ptolemy, a pretender? we learned that caesar is coming also in hot pursuit of his foe, and that ptolemy has slain pompey. nay, more: we found that caesar is already come; for we had not made half a day's journey on our way back when we came upon a city rabble flying from his legions. and ye, the temple guard! -did you not withstand these legions? what man could, that we did. but this caesar throws his legions where we are weakest as he throws a stone from a catapult. and this legion is a man with one head and thousand arms and no religion, i have fought against him, i know. -were you frightened, cousin? no cousin, but i was beaten. could you not die? there was no time all was over in a moment. -and i am come to warn you that you must open your gates to caesar; for his advance guard is scarce an hour behind me; and not an egyptian warrior is left standing between you and his legions. woe, alas! nail him to the door, quick! -now this news will run through the palace like fire through stubble. what shall we do to save the women from the romans? why not kill them? because we should have to pay blood money. better let the romans kill them: -it is cheaper. o subtle one! o serpent! but your queen? true: -we must carry off cleopatra. i will take her on the crupper of my horse. fly, fly! what's an uproar? the sacred white cat has been stolen! -hail, sphinx: salutation from julius caesar! i have wandered in many lands, seeking the lost regions from which my birth into this world exiled me, and the company of creatures such as i myself. i have found flocks and pastures, men and cities, but no other caesar, no air native to me, no man kindred to me, none who can do my day's deed, and think my night's thought. in the little world yonder, sphinx, my place is as high as yours in this great desert; -only i wander, and you sit still; i conquer, and you endure; i work and wonder, you watch and wait; sphinx, you and i, strangers to the race of men, are no strangers to one another: have i not been conscious of you and of this place since i was born? -rome is a madman's dream: this is my reality. my way hither was the way of destiny; for i am he of whose genius you are the symbol: part brute, part woman, and part god-- nothing of man in me at all. -have i read your riddle, sphinx? old gentleman. immortal gods! old gentleman: don't run away. old gentleman: -don't run away! this! to julius caesar! old gentleman. sphinx: you presume on your centuries. -i am younger than you, though your voice is but a girl's voice as yet. climb up here, quickly; or the romans will come and eat you. a child at its breast! a divine child! -come up quickly. you must get up at its side and creep round. who are you? cleopatra, queen of egypt. queen of the gypsies, you mean. -you must not be disrespectful to me, or the sphinx will let the romans eat you. come up. it is quite cosy here. what a dream! what a magnificent dream! -only let me not wake, take care. that's right. now sit down: you may have its other paw. -it is very powerful and will protect us; but it would not take any notice of me or keep me company. i am glad you have come: i was very lonely. did you happen to see a white cat anywhere? -have you lost one? yes: the sacred white cat: is it not dreadful? i brought him here to sacrifice him to the sphinx; but when we got a little way from the city a black cat called him, and he jumped out of my arms and ran away to it. do you think that the black cat can have been my great-great-great-grandmother? -your great-great-great-grandmother! well, why not? nothing would surprise me on this night of nights. i think it must have been. my great-grandmother's great-grandmother was a black kitten of the sacred white cat; -and my blood is made with nile water. that is why my hair is so wavy. what are you doing here at this time of night? do you live here? of course not: -i am the queen; and i shall live in the palace at alexandria when i have killed my brother, who drove me out of it. when i am old enough i shall do just what i like. i shall be able to poison the slaves and see them wriggle, and pretend to ftatateeta, my nurse, that she is going to be put into the fiery furnace. hm! meanwhile why are you not at home and in bed? -because the romans are coming to eat us all. you are not at home and in bed either. yes i am. i live in a tent; and i am now in that tent, fast asleep and dreaming. do you suppose that i believe you are real, you impossible little dream witch? -you are a funny old gentleman. i like you. ah, that spoils the dream. why don't you dream that i am young? i wish you were; -only i think i should be more afraid of you. i like men, especially young men with round strong arms; but i am afraid of them. you are old and rather wrinkly; but you have a nice voice; -and i like to have somebody to talk to, though i think you are a little mad. it is the moon that makes you talk to yourself in that silly way. what! you heard that, did you? i was saying my prayers to the great sphinx. -but this isn't the great sphinx. what! this is only a dear little kitten of the sphinx. why, the great sphinx is so big that it has a temple between its paws. this is my pet sphinx. -tell me: do you think the romans have any sorcerers who could take us away from the sphinx by magic? why? are you afraid of the romans? oh, they would eat us if they caught us. they are barbarians. -their chief is called julius caesar. his father was a tiger and his mother a burning mountain; and his nose is like an elephant's trunk. they all have long noses, and ivory tusks, and little tails, and seven arms with a hundred arrows in each; and they live on human flesh. -would you like me to show you a real roman? no. you are frightening me. no matter: this is only a dream-- it is not a dream: it is not a dream. -see, see. how dare you? you said you were dreaming. i only wanted to show you-- come, come: don't cry. -a queen mustn't cry. cleopatra: can you see my face well? yes. it is so white in the moonlight. are you sure it is the moonlight that makes me look whiter than an egyptian? -do you notice that i have a rather long nose? it is a roman nose, cleopatra. bite him in two, sphinx: bite him in two. i meant to sacrifice the white ca--i did indeed--i--ah! cleopatra: shall i show you a way to prevent caesar from eating you? -oh do, do, do. i will steal a crown jewel and give them to you. i will make the river nile water your lands twice a year. my child. your gods are afraid of the romans: -you see the sphinx dare not bite me, nor prevent me carrying you off to julius caesar. you won't, you won't. you said you wouldn't. caesar never eats women. but he eats girls and cats. -now you are a silly little girl; and you are descended from the black kitten. you are both a girl and a cat. and will he eat me? yes; -unless you make him believe that you are a woman. oh, you must get a sorcerer to make a woman of me. are you a sorcerer? perhaps. but it will take a long time; -and this very night you in the palace of your fathers. you must stand face to face with caesar no, no. i daren't. whatever dread may be in your soul-- however terrible caesar may be to you-- you must confront him as a brave woman and a great queen; -and you must feel no fear. if your hand shakes: if your voice quavers; then--night and death! but if he thinks you worthy to rule, he will set you on the throne by his side and make you the real ruler of egypt. -no: he will find me out: he will find me out. he is easily deceived by women. their eyes dazzle him; then we will cheat him. if you do that he will eat you at one mouthful. -i will do whatever you tell me. i will be good! i will be your slave. hark! what was that? -caesar's voice. let us run away. come. oh, come. you are safe with me until you stand on your throne to receive caesar. -lead me to your palace in the desert. i will, i will. oh, come, come, come: the gods are angry. do you feel the earth shaking? -it is the tread of caesar's legions. this way, quickly. and let us look for the white cat as we go. it is he that has turned you into a roman. incorrigible, oh, incorrigible! -come, come. ftatateeta! what place is this? this is where i sit on the throne when i am allowed to wear my crown and robes. ftatateeta! -order the slave to light the lamps. do you think i may? of course. you are the queen. go on. -light all the lamps. stop. who is this you have with you; and how dare you order the lamps to be lighted without my permission? who is she? -ftatateeta. chief nurse to-- i speak to the queen. be silent. is this how your servants know their places? -send her away; and you do as the queen has bidden. you are the queen: send her away. ftatateeta, dear: you must go away--just for a little. -you are not commanding her to go away: you are begging her. you are no queen. you will be eaten. farewell. -no, no, no. don't leave me. a roman does not stay with queens who are afraid of their slaves. i am not afraid. indeed i am not afraid. -we shall see who is afraid here. cleopatra-- on your knees, woman: am i also a child that you dare trifle with me? slave. -can you cut off a head? yes. have you remembered yourself, mistress? o queen, forget not thy servant in the days of thy greatness. go. -begone. go away. give me something to beat her with. you scratch, kitten, do you? i will beat somebody. -i will beat him. there, there, there! i am a queen at last-- a real, real queen! cleopatra the queen! oh, i love you for making me a queen. -but queens love only kings. i will make all the men i love kings. i will have many young kings, with round, strong arms; and when i am tired of them i will whip them to death; but you will always be my king: my nice, kind, wise, good old king. -oh, my wrinkles! you will be the most dangerous of all caesar's conguests. caesar! i forgot caesar. you will tell him that i am a queen, will you not? -a real queen. listen! let us run away and hide until caesar is gone. if you fear caesar, you are no true queen; and though you were to hide beneath a pyramid, he would go straight to it and lift it with one hand. -and then--! be afraid if you dare. caesar approaches the palace of cleopatra. come: take your place. ho, there, teetatota. -how do you call your slaves? clap your hands. totateeta, bring the queen's robes, and her crown, and her women; and prepare her. yes, the crown, ftatateeta: i shall wear the crown. -for whom must the queen put on her state? for a citizen of rome. a king of kings. how dare you ask questions? go and do as you are told. -of all the queen's women, these two alone are left. the rest are fled. two is enough. poor caesar generally has to dress himself. the queen of egypt is not a roman barbarian. -be brave, my nursling. hold up your head before this stranger. are you trembling? no, i-- i. -you must tell caesar that i am a queen. he will not ask me. he will know cleopatra by her pride, her courage, her majesty, and her beauty. is it sweet or bitter to be a queen, cleopatra? bitter. -cast out fear; and you will conquer caesar. stop! sentinels. fly, fly, fly. the romans are in the courtyard. -the romans are in the courtyard. (women are shrieking.) the queen must face caesar alone. answer "so be it." so be it. -good. a-a-a! you are my nursling. you have said "so be it"; and if you die for it, you must make the queen's word good. -forward! now... now, if you quail--! hail caesar! hail caesar! -aah! ripe figs! fresh mackerel! fresh mackerel! the roman, the roman, -they coming! they coming! why did you run away? my children! the romans will not eat you. -they are as civilized as you. stop! attention! we waiting for a second in command-rufio. this city is alexandria. -remember that-alexandria: the capital of egypt. you got to behave yourselfs here. be stippish with the men but you may fascinize with the women. silence! -silence, i tell you! that is rufio. attention! a turn left! centurion! -sir! see that building. that's the royal palace. caesar in there, i am going now to join him. keep a patrol of picked men, when we call, they may be wanted. -picked men, you understand. yes sir. who are these romans? peasants, drop of the scarecrow, sons of smiths, millers and tanners. are not we all nobles consecrated to arms, descended from gods? -gods are not always good to their poor relations o subtle one! o serpent! sixteen, eighteen, twenty four ... let us wait and take sides with a winner. -ptolemy. cleopatra. cleopatra or ... ptolemy. the king of egypt has a word to speak. -peace for the king's word! take notice of this all of you. i am the firstborn son of auletes the flute blower who was your king. my sister berenice drove him from his throne and reigned in his stead but-- but-- the gods would not suffer-- yes--the gods would not suffer-- -gods-- i forget what the gods would not suffer. the king wished to say that the gods would not suffer the impiety of his sister to go unpunished. yes, yes: i remember the rest of it. -therefore the gods sent a stranger, one mark antony, a roman captain of horsemen, across the sands of the desert and he set my father again upon the throne. now... and now that my father is dead, my sister cleopatra, would snatch the kingdom from me and reign in my place. but the gods would not suffer will not maintain oh yes--will not maintain such iniquity, -but with the help of the witch ftatateeta she hath cast a spell on the roman julius caesar to uphold her false pretence to rule egypt. take notice then that i will not suffer-- what is it that i will not suffer now? the king will not suffer a foreigner to take from him the throne of our egypt. tell the king, achillas, how many soldiers and horsemen follow julius caesar? -but two roman legions, o king. three thousand soldiers and scarce a thousand horsemen. peace, ho! caesar approaches. the king permits the roman commander to enter! -which is the king? the man or the boy? i am pothinus, the guardian of my lord the king. so you are the king. dull work at your age, eh? -your servant, pothinus. and this gentleman? achillas, the king's general. a general, eh? i am a general myself. -but i began too old. health and many victories, achillas! as the gods will, caesar. and you, sir, are--? theodotus, the king's tutor. -so, you teach men how to be kings, theodotus. that is very clever of you. and this place? the council chamber of the chancellors of the king's treasury, caesar. ah! -that reminds me. i want some money. the king's treasury is poor, caesar. yes: i notice that there is but one chair in it. -bring a chair there, some of you, for caesar. caesar-- no, no, my boy: that is your chair of state. sit down. sit down! -a chair for caesar! sacrilege! sit on that, caesar. ah, i forgot. i have not made my companions known here. -pothinus: this gentleman is rufio, my comrade in arms. this is britannus, my secretary. how do you do. he is an islander from the western end of the world -caesar, the tax returns. a surplus as you predicted. now, pothinus, to business. i want 16000 talents. 16000? -impossible. there is not so much money in the king's treasury. the royal taxes have not been collected for a whole year. o, yes they have, pothinus. my officers have been collecting them all morning. -is it possible that caesar, the conqueror of the world, has time to occupy himself with such a trifle as our taxes? my friend: taxes are the chief business of a conqueror of the world. you must pay, pothinus. but in return for your bounty, i will settle this dispute about the throne for you, if you will. you say the matter has been at issue for a year. -may i have ten minutes at it? you will do as you please, doubtless. good! but first, let us have cleopatra here. cleopatra? -she is not in alexandria. i think she is. call totateeta. ho there, teetatota. -who pronounces the name of ftatateeta, the queen's chief nurse? nobody can pronounce it, tota, except yourself. where is your mistress? will the queen favor us with her presence for a moment? am i to behave like a queen? -yes. you may go ftatateeta. caesar: this is how she treats me always. if i am a king why is she allowed to take everything from me? you are not to be king, you little cry-baby. -you are to be eaten by the romans. come here, my boy, and stand by me. take your throne: i don't want it. go this instant and sit down in your place. -go, ptolemy. always take a throne when it is offered to you. now, pothinus-- are you not going to speak to me? be quiet. -open your mouth again before i give you leave; and you shall be eaten. i am not afraid. a queen must not be afraid. eat my husband there, if you like: he is afraid. -your husband! what do you mean? that little thing. husband! caesar: you are a stranger here, and do not know our laws. -the kings and queens of egypt may not marry except with their own royal blood. ptolemy and cleopatra are born king and consort just as they are born brother and sister. caesar: this is not proper. not proper? i say it is a scandal. -scandal or not, my friend, it opens the gate of peace. hear what i propose. hear caesar there. ptolemy and cleopatra shall reign jointly in egypt. peace with honor, pothinus. -what conceit! roman trick! we will not have it! caesar: be honest. the money you demand is the price of our freedom. -take it; and leave us to settle our own affairs. yes, return to your own country. egypt belongs to us, not to you. egypt for the egyptians! egypt for the egyptians! -egypt for the egyptians! do you forget that there is a roman army of occupation here, left by aulus gabinius when he set up your toy king for you? and now under my command i am the roman general here, caesar. and also the egyptian general, eh? -that is so, caesar. so you can make war on the egyptians in the name of rome and on the romans--on me, if necessary--in the name of egypt? that is so, caesar. and which side are you on at present, if i may presume to ask, general? on the side of the right and of the gods. -hm! how many men have you? that will appear when i take the field. are your men romans? if not, it matters not how many there are. -insolence! it is useless to try to bluff us, rufio. caesar has been defeated before and he may be defeated again. what can you do with 4,000 men? and without money? -away with you. go back to your den. caesar, why do you let them talk to you like that ? are you afraid? why, my dear, what they say is quite true. -but if you go away, i shall not be queen. i shall not go away until you are queen. (murmur) achillas: if you are not a fool, you will take that girl whilst she is under your hand. why not take caesar as well, achillas? -well said, rufio. why not? try, achillas, try. yes, caesar too. guard there. -(shouting) peace, egyptians. you are caesar's prisoners, all of you. oh no, no, no. by no means. -caesar's guests, gentlemen, caesar's guests. won't you cut their heads off? cut off your brother's head? why not? he would cut off mine, if he got the chance. -wouldn't you, ptolemy? i would. i will, too, when i grow up. caesar: if you attempt to detain us-- he will succeed, egyptian: -make up your mind to that. the road to rome is open; and you shall travel it if caesar chooses. i could do no less, pothinus, to secure the retreat of my own soldiers. i am accountable for every life among them. -i am the king's guardian. i stand on my right here. where is your right? it is in the rufio's scabbard, my friend. i may not be able keeping it there much longer. -and this is roman justice? but not roman gratitude, i hope. is caesar's life of so little account to him that he forgets we have saved it. my life, is that all? your life, your laurels, your future. -i can call a witness to prove that but for us roman army of occupation, led by pompey, the greatest soldier in the world would now have caesar at its mercy. ho, there, lucius septimius come forth and testify before caesar. no, no. yes, i say. -let the military tribune bear witness. lucius septimius! bear witness, lucius septimius! caesar came to egypt in pursuit of his foe. did we shelter his foe? -as pompey's foot touched the egyptian shore, his head fell by the stroke of my sword. we have given you a full and sweet measure of vengeance. vengeance! oh, if i could stoop to vengeance, what would i not exact from you as the price of this murdered man's blood. was he not my son-in-law, my ancient friend, -am i julius caesar, or am i a wild beast, that you fling to me the grey head of the old soldier, the laurelled conqueror, and then claim my gratitude for it! begone: you fill me with horror. pshaw! you have seen severed heads before, caesar, and severed right hands too, i think; some thousands of them, after you vanquished the king of the gauls. -did you spare him, with all your clemency? was that vengeance? would that it had been! vengeance at least is human. no, by the gods, those severed right hands, and the brave king of gauls basely strangled in a vault beneath the capitol, were a wise severity, a necessary protection to the commonwealth, a duty of statesmanship-- -follies and fictions ten times bloodier than honest vengeance! what a fool was i then! to think that men's lives should be at the mercy of such fools! lucius septimius, pardon me: why should the slayer of the king of the gauls rebuke the slayer of pompey? -you are free to go. all here in this palace. free? achillas army, renegades and all? free, rufio. -lucius septimius, you are free to go with the rest. or stay if you will: i will find a place for you in my service. the odds are against you, caesar. i go. -farewell. come, pothinus, achillas, whilst there is yet time. do you suppose he would let us go if he had our heads in his hands? caesar: this is not good sense. your duty to rome demands that her enemies should be prevented from doing further mischief. -it is no use talking to him, britannus: you may save your breath to cool your porridge. but mark this, caesar. clemency is very well for you; but what is it for your soldiers, who have to fight tomorrow the men you spared yesterday? -you may give what orders you please; but i, for one, will take no prisoners. i will kill my enemies in the field; i shall never have to fight them again. and now, with your leave, i will see these gentry off the premises. -what! have they left the boy alone! oh shame, shame! come, your majesty! is he... -is he turning me out of my palace? you are welcome to stay if you wish. go, my boy. i will not harm you; but you will be safer away, among your friends. here you are in the lion's mouth. -it is not the lion i fear, but the jackal. brave boy! little silly. you think that very clever. britannus: -attend the king. give him in charge to that pothinus fellow. and this piece of goods? what is to be done with her? however, i suppose i may leave that to you. -did you mean me to go with the rest? you are free to do just as you please, cleopatra. then you do not care whether i stay or not? of course i had rather you stayed. much, much rather? -much, much rather. then i consent to stay, because i am asked. but i do not want to, mind. that is quite understood. totateeta. -her name is not totateeta: it is ftatateeta. ftatateeta will forgive the erring tongue of a roman. tota: the queen will hold her state here in alexandria. engage women to attend upon her; and do all that is needful. -am i then the mistress of the queen's household? no: i am the mistress of the queen's household. go and do as you are told, or i will have you thrown into the nile this very afternoon, to poison the poor crocodiles. oh no, no, no. -oh yes, yes, yes. you are very sentimental, caesar; but you are clever; and if you do as as i tell you, you will soon learn how to govern. pothinus! achillas! -lucius septimius! egypt for egyptians! your barley water, caesar. ftatateeta! ftatateeta! -get up, child, you must be bathed this morning. no! i had my month bath a day before yesterday. in future you must have a bath every day. no, no, i should die. -you must! your life is changed. you are still my child, but for all others you are grown woman and a queen. yes, i am a queen. ftata, what will caesar do with me? -ask rather what you will do with him. my child, you have charmed him. you are safe, you are powerful. i will guide you until you learn how to guide yourself. fear nothing. -who can fear caesar? he is not great and terrible, he is a near elderly gentleman rather sad looking and wrinkled but very kind. he is a magician, and magicians can change their shapes, as they please. everything about him is magical. he would not sleep in a golden chamber, permitted soldiers bring a bare stretcher from the cabin, put it in his study. -even then he did not sleep in it and sat up working like a slave all night. everyone obeys him as if he were a god i think he is a god in disguise, for he's changed your nature, as not. yes he has, this is truth. ftatatita, before he came i was afraid of you more than anybody else on earth. -and now i am not afraid of you at all. tell me what what i must begin with now that i am really a queen. you must begin by having a bath, every day. come child, get it over, you will soon get used to it and love. never. -it is too dreadful. if i must to wash again, ftatateeta let it be a scented bath. have you scented it? no, caesar hates perfumes. and if you redden your lips he will not kiss you. -come on. he must indeed be a god. only a god could be so not like a man. no! cleopatra, i really think i must eat you, after all. -you must not talk to me now as if i were a child. you have been growing up since the sphinx introduced us that night; and you think you know more than i do already. no: that would be very silly of me: of course i know that. -but, are you angry with me? no. then why are you so thoughtful? i have work to do. work! -what a nonsense! you must remember that you are a king now: i have made you one. kings don't work. oh! -who told you that, little kitten? eh? my father was king of egypt; and he never worked. but he lost his throne. -how did he get his throne back again? i will tell you. a beautiful young man, with strong round arms, came over the desert with many horsemen, and gave my father back his throne. i was only twelve then. oh, i wish he would come again, now that i am a queen. -i would make him my husband. it might be managed, perhaps; for it was i who sent that beautiful young man to help your father. you know him! has he come with you? -oh, i wish he had, i wish he had. he is many, many years younger than you, is he not? yes, he is somewhat younger. would he be my husband, do you think, if i asked him? -very likely. but i should not like to ask him. could you... could you not persuade him to ask me-- without knowing that i wanted him to? my poor child! -why do you say that as if you were sorry for me? does he love anyone else? i am afraid so. then i shall not be his first love. not quite the first. -he is greatly admired by women. i wish i could be the first. but if he loves me, i will make him kill all the rest. tell me: is he still beautiful? do his strong round arms shine in the sun like marble? -he is in excellent condition-- considering how much he eats and drinks. oh, you must not say common, earthly things about him; for i love him. he is a god. what is his name? -his name is mark antony. mark antony, mark antony, mark antony! what a beautiful name! -oh, how i love you for sending him to help my father! you must run away for a little and send my secretary to me. no, no, no: i want to stay and hear you talk about mark antony. but if i do not get to work, -pothinus and the rest of them will cut us off from the harbor; and then the way from rome will be blocked. no matter: i don't want you to go back to rome. but you want mark antony to come from it. -oh yes, yes, yes: i forgot. go quickly, caesar; and keep the way over the sea open for my mark antony. what now? -this, caesar; and two of my comrades killed in the market place. ay. why? there is an army come to alexandria, calling itself the roman army. -the roman army of occupation. ay? commanded by one achillas. well? the citizens rose against us when the army entered the gates. -they set upon us. i cut my way out. good. i am glad to see you alive. rufio, we are besieged. -what! already? caesar, caesar! yes, yes: i know. -comrade: give the word to turn out on the beach and stand by the boats. get your wound attended to. britannus, go with him. rufio: we have some ships in the west harbor. -burn them. burn them! take every boat we have in the east harbor, and seize the pharos--that island with the lighthouse. leave half our men behind to hold the beach and the quay outside this palace: that is the way on the rome. -for the rest, egypt for the egyptians! well, you know best, i suppose. is that all? that is all. are those ships burnt yet? -be easy: i shall waste no more time. caesar: pothinus wants to meet you. where is he? -waits in the council chamber. it's my opinion he needs a lesson. his manner is most insolent. well, pothinus? i have brought you our ultimatum, caesar. -ultimatum! the door was open: you should have gone out through it before you declared war. you are my prisoner now. i your prisoner! do you know that king ptolemy, with an army outnumbering your little troop a hundred to one, is in possession of alexandria? -well, my friend, get out if you can. and tell your friends not to kill any more romans in the market place. otherwise my soldiers, who do not share my celebrated clemency, will probably kill you. pass the word to the guard; pothinus is now prisoner. -britannus, fetch my armor. caesar! caesar! what? the ships ablaze already! -impossible! the egyptians have saved me the trouble. they have captured the west harbor. and the east harbor? the lighthouse, rufio? -can i embark a legion in five minutes? the first cohort is already on the quay. if you want faster work, come and do it yourself? patience, rufio, patience. patience! -who is impatient herehere, you or i? forgive me, rufio; and hurry them as much as you can. help, help, help, help! woe, alas! -woe, alas. help, help! who is slain? slain! oh, worse than the death of ten thousand men! -loss irreparable to mankind! what has happened, man? the fire has spread from your ships. the library of alexandria is in flames. is that all? -rufio, is britannus asleep? i sent him for my armor an hour ago. britannus, britannikus! caesar: will you go down to posterity as a barbarous soldier too ignorant to know the value of books? theodotus: -i am an author myself; good. what is burning there is the memory of mankind. a shameful memory. let it burn. -will you destroy the past? ay, and build the future with its ruins. harken to me, theodotus, teacher of kings: i cannot spare you a man or a bucket of water just now; but you shall pass freely out of the palace. -now, away with you to achillas; and borrow his legions to put out the fire. caesar, posterity will bless you. will you stay to talk whilst the memory of mankind is burning? sentinel, pass theodotus out. -away with you. away with you. i must save the library. what's this! have you let them go? -is this more clemency? i have let him go to save the library. we must respect literature, rufio. folly on folly's head! besides, my friend: every egyptian we imprison means imprisoning two good roman soldiers to guard him. -eh? agh! i might have known there was some fox's trick behind your fine talking. all ready, there? all ready. -we wait for caesar. tell them caesar is coming-- the rogues! caesar's guard there. push off, all except the longboat. stand by it to embark -i am going to dress you, caesar. sit down. caesar, this is not proper. these roman helmets are so becoming! what are you laughing at? -you're bald! cleopatra! so that is why you wear the wreath-- to hide it. peace, egyptian: they are the bays of the conqueror. peace, thou: islander! -you should rub your head with strong spirits of sugar, caesar. that will make it grow. cleopatra: do you like to be reminded that you are very young? no. no do i like to be reminded that i am--middle aged. -now. oh! how nice! you look only about 50 in it! you must not speak in this manner to caesar. -is it true that when caesar caught you on that island, you were painted all over blue? blue is the color worn by all britons of good standing. in war we stain our bodies blue; so that though our enemies may strip us of our clothes and our lives, they cannot strip us of our respectability. let me hang this on. -now you look splendid. now caesar: have you done talking? the longboat waits for you. the others race to the lighthouse. -is this well set today, britannicus? at pharsalia it was as blunt as a barrel-hoop. it will split one of the egyptian's hairs to-day, caesar. i have set it myself. oh, you are not really going into battle to be killed? -no, cleopatra. no man goes to battle to be killed. but they do get killed. my sister's husband was killed in battle. you must not go. -let him go. oh please, please don't go. what will happen to me if you never come back? are you afraid? no. -come to the balcony; and you shall see us take the pharos. you must learn to look on battles. then take me with you. take me to come with you to pharos. no, no, my child, you must stay here till my return. -that is well. now, rufio. march. oh, you will not be able to go! why? -what now? they are drying up the harbor with buckets-- a multitude of soldiers--over there-- they are dipping up the water. this is your accursed clemency, caesar. theodotus has brought them. i meant him to, rufio. -they have come to put out the fire. the library will keep them busy whilst we seize the lighthouse. eh? more foxing! caesar! -cleopatra, if all goes well i shall be back this evening. all aboard. goodbye! goodbye! hail, caesar! -give way there. goodbye, my caesar. come back safe. goodbye! what's this? -stand. who are you? centurion, i am apollodorus the sicilian. my calling is to choose beautiful things for beautiful queens. carpets for the queen's apartments in the palace. -the queen? yes, yes: pass him in. pass all these bazaar people in to the queen, with their goods. but mind you pass no one out that you have not passed in-- not even the queen herself. i have brought my caravan past three sentinels, all so busy staring at the lighthouse that not one of them challenged me. -is this roman discipline? we are not here to watch the land but the sea. who is this piece of egyptian crockery? apollodorus: rebuke this roman dog; and bid him bridle his tongue in the presence of the mistress of the queen's household. this is a great lady, who stands high with caesar. -ftatateeta! what are you dreaming of? ftatateeta! no, no, you must not come out. there are men here. -oh that ever i was born! ftatateeta: i have thought of something. i want a boat--at once. a boat! -no, no: you cannot. apollodorus: speak to the queen. beautiful queen: i am apollodorus the sicilian, your servant, from the bazaar. i have no time for carpets to-day. -get me a boat. you cannot go on the water except in the royal barge. royalty, ftatateeta, lies not in the barge but in the queen. the touch of your majesty's foot on the meanest boat in the harbor will make it royal. apollodorus: you are my perfect knight; -and i will always buy my carpets through you. can you row? my oars shall be your majesty's wings. ho there, boatman! whither shall i row my queen? -to the lighthouse. come. stand. you cannot pass. how dare you? -do you know that i am the queen? i have my orders. you cannot pass. ftatateeta: strangle him. keep off there. -pass in the palace and take the queen with him. and how if i do neither? then i will drive this pilum through you. at your service, my friend. help him, help him! -i shall not need help, lady. what's your mean: sword against pilum, or sword against sword? roman against sicilian, curse you. help! help! -thrust your knife into the dog's throat, apollodorus. curse on you! let me go. ho there, guard, help, help. stab the little roman reptile. -spit him on your sword. what is all this? make your report, soldier. this old woman is dangerous: she is as strong as three men. -centurion, he would have slain the queen. i would, sooner than let her pass. cleopatra: i am loath to offend you; but without caesar's express order we dare not let you pass beyond the roman lines. you must withdraw into the palace and examine your carpets there. -i will not: i am the queen. caesar does not speak to me as you do. have caesar's centurions changed manners with his scullions? i do my duty. -that is enough for me. majesty: when a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty. as for you, apollodorus, you may thank the gods that you are not nailed to the palace door with a pilum for your meddling. is the woman your wife? jupiter, no! -not that the lady is not a striking figure in her own way. but she is not my wife. roman: i am ftatateeta, the mistress of the queen's household. keep your hands off our men, mistress; -or i will have you pitched into the harbor, though you were as strong as ten men we shall see whom isis loves best: her servant ftatateeta or a dog of a roman. two more men to this post here; and see that no one leaves the palace but this man and his merchandize. if he draws his sword again -- kill him. -get about your business. yes: you ought to know better. off with you. do not tantalize a poor man. pearl of queens: the centurion is at hand; -and the roman soldier is incorruptible when his officer is looking. i shall carry your word to caesar. are these carpets very heavy? it matters not how heavy. there are plenty of porters. -how do they put them into the boats? do they - throw them down? not into small boats, majesty. it would sink them. not into that man's boat, for instance? -no, no. too small. but you can take a carpet to caesar in it if i send one? assuredly. and you will have it carried gently down the steps and take great care of it? -great, great care? more than of my own body. good. come, ftatateeta. no, apollodorus, you must not come. -i will choose a carpet for myself. you must wait here. follow this lady and obey her. this way. and take your shoes off before you put your feet on those stairs. -listen: were you set here to watch me, or to watch the egyptians? we know our duty. then why don't you do it? look! the egyptians are moving. -they are going to recapture the pharos. they will attack by sea and land: by land along the great mole; stir yourselves: the hunt is up. centurion, enforce the produce on the mole. -yes, sir. rufio: this has been a mad expedition. we shall be beaten. the egyptians cannot be such fools as not to storm the barricade and swoop down on us here before it is finished. it is the first time i have ever run an avoidable risk. -i should not have come to egypt. an hour ago you were all for victory. yes: i was a fool, rash, rufio, boyish. boyish! -not a bit of it. here. what are these for? eat. that's what's the matter with you. -when a man comes to your age, he runs down before the midday meal. eat and drink; and take another look at our chances. my age! yes, i am an old man worn out now quite true, rufio. -achillas is still in his prime: ptolemy is a boy. well, every dog has his day; and i have had mine: i cannot complain. -these dates are not bad, rufio. that's my old caesar. that's a great war when you get rid with the women. you again? keep the distance. -come within a yard of me, you old crocodile; and i will give you this in your jaws. peace, roman fellow: you are now single-handed. apollodorus: this carpet is cleopatra's present to caesar. -it has rolled up in it ten precious goblets of the thinnest iberian crystal, and a hundred eggs of the sacred blue pigeon. on your honor, let not one of them be broken. on my head be it. load carefully it into the boat. those eggs, of which the lady speaks must weigh more than a pound a piece. -this boat is much too small for such a load. yes, yes, too small! yes, yes. oh thou injurious porter! oh thou unnatural son of a she-camel! -my boat, sir, can carry five men. shall it not carry your lordship and a bale of pigeons' eggs? thou mangey dromedary, the gods shall punish thee for this envious wickedness. i cannot quit this bale now to beat thee; but another day i will lie in wait for thee. -peace there, all of you. in the name of the gods, apollodorus, run no risks with that bale. fear not, thou venerable grotesque: i guess its great worth. into the boat, gently, my sons, my children--gently, ye dogs! -so--'tis well. do not step on it, do not step on it. be not excited, mistress: all is well. oh thou brute beast! oh, thou hast given my heart a turn! -here, ye hungry ones. robber of the poor. it's not enough! o bounteous prince! o lord of the bazaar! -o favored of the gods! o father to all the porters of the market! farewell, ftatateeta. i shall be at the lighthouse before the egyptians. the gods speed thee -farewell, valiant pilum pitcher. caesar! caesar! our brave mariners have captured a treasure. our enemies are delivered into our hands. -in that bag? wait till you hear, caesar. this bag contains all the letters which have passed between our enemies. well? well, we shall now know who your foes are. -the name of every man who has plotted against you since you crossed the rubicon may be in these papers, for all we know. put them in the fire. put them-- in the fire. would you have me waste the next three years of my life condemning men who will be my friends when i have proved that my friendship is worth more than my enemies. but your honor--the honor of rome-- -i do not make human sacrifices to my honor, as your druids do. since you will not burn these, at least i can drown them. caesar: this is mere eccentricity. are traitors to be allowed to go free for the sake of a paradox? caesar: when the islander has finished preaching, call me again. -o caesar, my great master, if i could but persuade you to regard life seriously, as men do in my country! do they truly do so, britannus? have you not been there? have you not seen them? what briton speaks as you do in your moments of levity? -what briton neglects to attend the services at the sacred grove? what briton wears clothes of many colors as you do, instead of plain blue, as all solid, well esteemed men should? these are moral questions with us. well, well, my friend: some day i shall settle down and have a blue toga, perhaps. meanwhile, i must get on as best i can in my flippant roman way. -what now? hail! what is this? who are you? how did you come here? -calm yourself, my friend: i am not going to eat you. hail, great caesar! i am apollodorus the sicilian, an artist. an artist! -a vagabond? peace, man. apollodorus is a famous patrician amateur. i crave the gentleman's pardon. i understood him to say that he was a professional. -you are welcome, apollodorus. what is your business? first, to deliver to you a present from the queen of queens. who is that? cleopatra of egypt. -apollodorus: this is no time for playing with presents. pray you, go back to the queen, and tell her that if all goes well we shall return to the palace this evening. caesar: i cannot return. as i approached the lighthouse, some fool threw a great leathern bag into the sea. -it broke the nose of my boat; and i had hardly time to get myself and my charge to the shore before the poor little cockleshell sank. i am sorry, apollodorus. the fool shall be rebuked. well, well: what have you brought me? the queen will be hurt if i do not look at it. -caesar, have we time to waste on this trumpery? the queen is only a child. just so: that is why we must not disappoint her. caesar: it is a persian carpet-- a beauty! and in it are--so i am told-- pigeons' eggs and crystal goblets and fragile precious things. -i dare not for my head have it carried up that narrow ladder from the causeway. swing it up by the crane, then. the crane! caesar: i have sworn to tender this bale of carpet as i tender my own life. -then let them swing you up at the same time; and if the chain breaks, you and the pigeons' eggs will perish together. is caesar serious? his manner is frivolous because he is an italian; but he means what he says. -serious or not, he spoke well. give me a squad of soldiers to work the crane. no-no it's worked by elderly tyrian and his son. well conducted youth of ... 14. what! -an old man and boy work that? twenty men, you mean? no, no, two only, i assure you. they have counterweights, and a machine with boiling water in it which i do not understand: it is not of british design. -leave the crane to me. go and await the descent of the chain. good. you will see me presently there rising like the sun with my treasure. are you really going to wait here for this foolery, caesar? -why not? the egyptians will let you know why not if they have the sense to make a rush before our barricade is finished. and here we are waiting like children to see a carpet full of pigeons' eggs. fear not, my son rufio. when the first egyptian takes his first step along the mole, the alarm will sound; -and we two will reach the barricade before the egyptians-- we two, rufio: i, the old man, and you, his biggest boy. and the old man will be there first. so peace; and give me some more dates. haul away. -easy there: further round! so. haul up. gently-- slowly, slowly--mind the eggs. -slowly, slowly. haul away. stand off, my friends: let caesar see. nothing but a heap of shawls. -where are the pigeons' eggs? approach, caesar; and search for them among the shawls. ha, treachery! keep back, caesar: -i saw the shawl move: there is something alive there. it is a serpent. dares caesar thrust his hand into the sack where the serpent moves? treacherous dog-- peace. -put up your swords. apollodorus: your serpent seems to breathe very regularly. this is a pretty little snake. let us have the rest of you. oh, i'm smothered. -oh, caesar; a man stood on me in the boat; and a great sack of something fell upon me out of the sky; and then the boat sank, and then i was swung up into the air and bumped down. well, never mind: here you are safe and sound at last. -ay; and now that she is here, what are we to do with her? caesar, it is not proper. she cannot stay here, without the companionship of some matron. horrible. aren't you glad to see me? -yes, i am very glad. but rufio is very angry; and britannus is shocked. you can have their heads cut off, can't you? they would not be so useful with their heads cut off as they are now, my sea bird. we shall have to go away presently and cut some of your egyptians' heads. -how will you like being left here with the chance of being captured by that little brother of yours if we are beaten? but you mustn't leave me alone. caesar you will not leave me alone, will you? what! not when the trumpet sounds and all our lives depend on caesar's being at the barricade before the egyptians reach it? -eh? let them lose their lives: they are only soldiers. cleopatra: when that trumpet sounds, we must take every man his life in his hand, and throw it in the face of death. and of my soldiers who have trusted me there is not one whose hand i shall not hold more sacred than your head. -apollodorus: you must take her back to the palace. am i a dolphin, caesar, to cross the seas with young ladies on my back? my boat is sunk: all yours are either at the barricade or have returned to the city. it does not matter. -i will not go back. nobody cares for me. cleopatra-- you want me to be killed. my poor child: your life matters little here to anyone but yourself. -come, rufio. do not leave me, caesar. caesar: we are cut off. the egyptians have landed from the west harbor between us and the barricade! rufio: my men at the barricade are lost. -i have murdered them. ay: that comes of fooling with this girl here. caesar! caesar, the egyptians. we must defend ourselves here. -i have thrown the ladder into the sea. they cannot get in without it. ay; and we cannot get out. have you thought of that? not get out! -why not? you have ships in the east harbor. the galleys are standing in towards us already. and by what road are we to walk to the galleys, pray? by the road that leads everywhere-- the diamond path of the sun and moon. -how far off is the nearest galley? fifty fathom. no, no: nearly quarter of a mile, apollodorus. good. -defend yourselves here until i send you a boat from that galley. have you wings, perhaps? water wings, soldier. behold! bravo, apollodorus, bravo! -by jupiter, i will do that too. britannus. you are mad. you shall not. why not? -can i not swim as well as he? can an old fool dive and swim like a young one? old! rufio: you forget yourself. i will race you to the galley for a week's pay, father rufio. -but me! me! me! what is to become of me? i will carry you on my back to the galley like a dolphin. -rufio: when you see me rise to the surface, throw her in: no, no. i shall be drowned. and then in with you after her, both of you. caesar: -i am a man and a briton, not a fish. i must have a boat. i cannot swim. neither can i. stay here, then, britannus, until i recapture the lighthouse. -i will not forget you. now, rufio. you have made up your mind to this folly? the egyptians have made it up for me. and mind where you jump: -i do not want to get you in the small of my back one last word, caesar. do not let yourself be seen in the fashionable part of alexandria until you have changed your clothes. ho, apollodorus: the white upon the blue above-- -is purple on the green below-- oh, let me see. he will be drowned. ah-ah-ah-ah! he has got her. -hold the fort, briton. caesar will not forget you. another royal banquet in caesar's honour. these romans are magicians. for six months a mere handful of them held the palace against all egypt's army forces. -and look at their escape from the pharos. who but a magician could swim like a dolphin at caesar's age carrying a queen on his back. may be, it's the queen's magic. she rides on caesar's back on land now as on the sea. you laugh; -take care, take care, i will find out some day how to make myself served as caesar is served. old hooknose! silence. do you know why i allow you all to chatter impertinently just as you please, instead of treating you as ftatateeta would treat you if she were queen? -because you try to imitate caesar in everything; and he lets everybody say what they please to him. no; but because i asked him one day why he did so; and he said "let your women talk; -and you will learn something from them." what have i to learn from them? i said. "what they are," said he; and oh! -you should have seen his eye as he said it. you would have curled up, you shallow things. at whom are you laughing-- at me or at caesar? at caesar. if you were not a fool, you would laugh at me; -and if you were not a coward you would not be afraid to tell me so. heigho! i wish caesar were back in rome. it will be a bad day for you all when he goes. oh, if i were not ashamed to let him see that i am as cruel at heart as my father, -i would make you repent that speech! why do you wish him away? he makes you so terribly prosy and serious and learned and philosophical. it is worse than being religious, at our ages. cease that endless cackling, will you. -hold your tongues. well, well: we must try to live up to caesar. pothinus craves the ear of the queen. i suppose he has bribed you to admit him to me. now, by my father's gods! -have i not told you not to deny things. all you sell audiences to the queen as if i saw whom you please and not whom i please. go, take the bribe; and bring me pothinus. but... don't answer me. -go. i want to learn to play the harp with my own hands. caesar loves music. can you teach me? assuredly. -i and no one else can teach the queen. all the other teachers are quacks: i have exposed them ... repeatedly. good: you shall teach me. how long will it take? -not very long: only four years. your majesty must first become proficient in the philosophy of pythagoras. has she become proficient in the philosophy of pythagoras? oh, she is but a slave. she learns as a dog learns. -well, then, i will learn as a dog learns; for she plays better than you. you shall give me a lesson every day for a fortnight. after that, whenever i strike a false note you shall be flogged; and if i strike so many that there is not time to flog you, you shall be thrown into the nile to feed the crocodiles. -give the girl a gold piece; and send them away. but true art cannot be thus forced. what is this? answering the queen, forsooth. out with you. -well, pothinus: what is the latest news from your rebel friends? i am no friend of rebellion. and a prisoner does not receive news. you are no more a prisoner than i am--than caesar is. these six months we have been besieged in this palace by my subjects. -you are allowed to walk on the beach among the soldiers. can i go further myself, or can caesar? you are but a child, cleopatra, and do not understand these matters. i see you do not know the latest news, pothinus. what is that? -that cleopatra is no longer a child. shall i tell you how to grow much older, and much, much wiser in one day? i should prefer to grow wiser without growing older. well, go up to the top of the lighthouse; -and get somebody to take you by the hair and throw you into the sea. she is right, pothinus: you will come to the shore with much conceit washed out of you. begone, all of you. i will speak with pothinus alone. -what are you waiting for? it is not meet that the queen remain alone with-- must i sacrifice you to your father's gods, ftatateeta, to teach you that i am queen of egypt, and not you? you are like the rest of them. you want to be what these romans call a new woman. -now, pothinus: why did you bribe ftatateeta to bring you hither? cleopatra: what they tell me is true. you are changed. do you speak with caesar every day for six months: and you will be changed. it is the common talk that you are infatuated with this old man. -infatuated? what does that mean? made foolish, is it not? oh no: i wish i were. -you wish you were made foolish! how so? when i was foolish, i did what i liked, now that caesar has made me wise, it is no use my liking or disliking; i do what must be done, and have no time to attend to myself. -that is not happiness; but it is greatness. i think if caesar were gone, i could govern the egyptians; cleopatra: this may be the vanity of youth. no, no: it is not that i am so clever, but that the others are so stupid. -truly, that is the great secret. now tell me what you came to say? i! nothing. nothing! -at least--to beg for my liberty: that is all. for that you would have knelt to caesar. no, pothinus: you came with some plan that depended on cleopatra being a little nursery kitten. now that cleopatra is a queen, the plan is upset. -is cleopatra then indeed a queen, and no longer caesar's prisoner and slave? pothinus: we are all caesar's slaves-- all we in this land of egypt-- whether we will or no. and she who is wise enough to know this will reign when caesar departs. you harp on caesar's departure. what if i do? -does he not love you? love me! pothinus: caesar loves no one. he makes friends with everyone as he does with dogs and children. -his kindness to me is a wonder: neither mother, father, nor nurse have ever taken so much care for me, or thrown open their thoughts to me so freely. but how can you be sure that he does not love you as men love women? because i cannot make him jealous. i have tried. -hm! perhaps i should have asked, then, do you love him? can one love a god? besides, i love another roman: no god, but a man--one who can love and hate-- one whom i can hurt and who would hurt me. does caesar know this? -yes. and he is not angry. he promises to send him to egypt to please me! i do not understand this man? you understand caesar! -how could you? i do--by instinct. your majesty caused me to be admitted to-day. what message has the queen for me? this. -you think that by making my brother king, you will rule in egypt, because you are his guardian and he is a little silly. the queen is pleased to say so. the queen is pleased to say this also. that caesar will eat up you, and achillas, and my brother, as a cat eats up mice; and that he will put on this land of egypt as a shepherd puts on his garment. -and when he has done that, he will return to rome, and leave cleopatra here as his viceroy. that he shall never do. we have a thousand men to his ten; and we will drive him and his beggarly legions into the sea. you rant like any common fellow. -cleopatra-- enough. ftatateeta! caesar has spoiled me for talking to weak things like you. i know to whom i must go now. let me go forth from this hateful place. -what angers you? the curse of all the gods of egypt be upon her! she has sold her country to the roman, that she may buy it back from him with her kisses. fool: did she not tell you that she would have caesar gone? you listened? -i took care that some honest woman should be at hand whilst you were with her. and mark this, mistress. you thought, before caesar came, that egypt should presently be ruled by you and your crew in the name of cleopatra. i set myself against it. ay; that it might be ruled by you and your crew in the name of ptolemy. -better me, or even you, than a woman with a roman heart; and that is what cleopatra is now become. whilst i live, she shall never rule. so guide yourself accordingly. wait here. -here, your excellency. the roman commander will await caesar here. that was a climb. how high have we come? we are on the palace roof, o beloved of victory! -good! the beloved of victory has no more stairs to get up. caesar approaches. why, rufio! a new baldrick! -a new golden pommel to your sword! and you have had your hair cut! but not your beard--? impossible! yes, perfumed, by jupiter olympus! -well: is it to please myself? no, rufio, my son, but to please me-- to celebrate my birthday. your birthday! you always have a birthday when there is a pretty girl to be flattered or an ambassador to be conciliated. rufio ... -we had seven of them in ten months last year. it is true, rufio! i shall never break myself of these petty deceits. have you noticed that i am before my time? aha! -i thought that meant something. what is it? pothinus wants to speak to you. i advise you to see him: there is some plotting going on here among the women. -who is pothinus? oh, yes! and has he not escaped? no. why not? -have i not told you always to let prisoners escape unless there are special orders to the contrary? are there not enough mouths to be fed without his? yes. and if you would have a little sense and let me cut his throat, you would save his rations. anyhow, he won't escape. -he prefers to stay and spy on us. and you want me to see him? i don't want anything. i daresay you will do what you like. don't put it on to me. -well, well: let us have him in. ho there, guard! release your man and send him up. who is to dine with us-- besides cleopatra? -apollodorus the sicilian. that popinjay! come! the popinjay is an amusing dog-- tells a story; sings a song; and saves us the trouble of flattering the queen. -well, he can swim a bit and fence a bit: he might be worse, if he only knew how to hold his tongue. the gods forbid he should ever learn! ah, pothinus! you are welcome. -and what is the news this afternoon? caesar: i come to warn you of a danger, and to make you an offer. never mind the danger. make the offer. -never mind the offer. what's the danger? caesar: you think that cleopatra is devoted to you. my friend: i already know what i think. -come to your offer. i will deal plainly. i know not by what magic you have been enabled to defend the palace and a few yards of beach against a city and an army. but we know now that your gods are irresistible, and that you are a worker of miracles. i no longer threaten you. -very handsome of you, indeed. so be it: you are the master. yes, yes, my friend. but what then? spit it out, man. -what have you to say? i have to say that you have a traitress in your camp. cleopatra. the queen! you should have spat it out sooner, you fool. -now it is too late. what is he doing here? just going to tell me something about you. you shall hear it. proceed, pothinus. -i ... caesar! well, out with it. what i have to say is for your ear, not for the queen's. there are means of making you speak. -take care. caesar does not employ those means. my dear: when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often. let me celebrate my birthday by setting you free. farewell: we'll not meet again. -caesar: this mercy is foolish. will you not give me a private audience? your life may depend on it. ho there, guard! pass the prisoner out. -he is released. now off with you. you have lost your chance. i will speak. you see. -torture would not have wrung a word from him. caesar: you have taught cleopatra the arts by which romans govern the world. alas! they cannot even govern themselves. -what then? what then? are you so besotted with her beauty that you do not see that she is impatient to reign in egypt alone, and that her heart is set on your departure? liar! what! -protestations! contradictions! no. i do not deign to contradict. let him talk. -from her own lips i have heard it. you are to be her catspaw: you are to tear the crown from her brother's head and set it on her own, delivering us all into her hand-- delivering yourself also. and then caesar can return to rome, or depart through the gate of death, which is nearer and surer. well, and is not this very natural? -natural! then you do not resent treachery? resent! o thou foolish egyptian, what have i to do with resentment? do i resent the wind when it chills me, or the night when it makes me stumble in the darkness? -to tell me such a story as this is but to tell me that the sun will rise to-morrow. but it is false--false. i swear it. it is true, though you swore it a thousand times, and believed all you swore. come, rufio: -let us see pothinus past the guard. i have a word to say to him. we must give the queen a moment to recover herself. tell your friends, pothinus, that they must not think i am opposed to a reasonable settlement of the country's affairs-- -ftatateeta, ftatateeta. peace, child: be comforted-- can they hear us? no, dear heart, no. if he leaves the palace alive, never see my face again. -he? pothinus-- strike his life out as i strike his name from your lips. dash him down from the wall. break him on the stones. -kill, kill, kill him. the dog shall perish. fail in this, and you go out from before me forever. so be it. you shall not see my face until his eyes are darkened. -soon--soon. when the light dies he shall die. so you have come back to me, caesar. i thought you were angry. welcome, apollodorus. -cleopatra grows more womanly beautiful from week to week. truth, apollodorus? far, far short of the truth! friend rufio threw a pearl into the sea: caesar fished up a diamond. -caesar fished up a touch of rheumatism. come on. come: to dinner! to dinner! i have ordered such a dinner for you, caesar! -ay? what are we to have? peacocks' brains. peacocks' brains, apollodorus! not for me. -i prefer nightingales' tongues. roast boar, rufio! good! what has become of my leathern cushion? i have got new ones for you. -these cushions, caesar, are of maltese gauze, stuffed with rose leaves. rose leaves! am i a caterpillar? what a shame! my new cushions! -what shall we serve to whet caesar's appetite? any oysters? assuredly. british oysters? british oysters, of course. -oysters, then. sea hedgehogs for me. is there nothing solid to begin with? fieldfares with asparagus-- fattened fowls! -have some fattened fowls, rufio. ay, that will do. fieldfares for me. caesar will deign to choose his wine? sicilian, toscan, macedonian, chianti -all greek. try the sicilian, caesar. bring me my barley water. ugh! bring me my falernian. -it is waste of time giving you dinners, caesar. my scullions would not condescend to your diet. well, well: let us try the falernian. but when i return to rome, -i will make laws against these extravagances. i will even get the laws carried out. never mind. to-day you are to be like other people: idle, luxurious, and kind. -well, for once i will sacrifice my comfort there! now are you satisfied? and you no longer believe that i long for your departure for rome? i no longer believe anything. -my brains are asleep. besides, who knows whether i shall return to rome? how? eh? what? -one year of rome is like another, except that i grow older, it is no better here in egypt. the old men, when they are tired of life, say "we have seen everything except the source of the nile." and why not see that? -cleopatra:will you come with me and track the flood to its cradle in the heart of the regions of mystery? shall i make you a new kingdom, and build you a holy city there in the great unknown? yes, yes. you shall. ay: now he will conquer africa with two legions before i finished the roast boar. -come: no scoffing, this is a noble scheme: let us name the holy city, and consecrate it with sicilian wine-- and cleopatra shall name it herself. it shall be called caesar's gift to his beloved. no, no. something vaster than that-- something universal, like the starry firmament. -why not simply the cradle of the nile? no: the nile is my ancestor; and he is a god. oh! i have thought of something. -the nile shall name it himself. let us call upon him all together. send for him. and away with all of you. go, i am a priestess, and have power to take your charge from you. -what hocus-pocus is this? it is not hocus-pocus. to do it properly, we should kill something to please him; but perhaps he will answer caesar without that if we spill some wine to him. why not appeal to our hawkheaded friend here? -sh! he will hear you and be angry. the source of the nile is out of his district, i expect. now let us call on the nile all together. you must say with me -"send us thy voice, father nile." send us thy voice, father nile. what was that? nothing. they are beating some slave. -nothing! a man with a knife in him, i'll swear. a murder! s-sh! silence. -did you hear that? another cry? no, a thud. something fell on the beach, i think. something with bones in it, eh? -rufio. will you leave me, caesar? apollodorus: are you going? faith, dearest queen, my appetite is gone. apollodorus: go down to the courtyard, and find out what has happened. -your soldiers have killed somebody, perhaps. what does it matter? this must be seen to. is she drunk? not with wine. -the queen looks again on the face of her servant. there is some mischief between those two. cleopatra: what has happened? nothing, dearest caesar. nothing. -i am innocent. dear caesar: are you angry with me? why do you look at me so? i have been here with you all the time. how can i know what has happened? -that is true. of course it is true. you know it is true, rufio. i shall know -- presently. caesar, remember, your bodyguard is within call. -why do you allow rufio to speak to me so? you should teach him his place. teach him to be my enemy, and to hide his thoughts from me as you are now hiding yours. why do you say that, caesar? indeed, indeed, i am not hiding anything. -you are wrong to treat me like this. i am only a child; and you turn into stone because you think someone has been killed. i cannot bear it. but there: i know you hate tears: -you shall not be troubled with them. only ... i am so silly, i cannot help being hurt when you speak coldly. of course you are quite right: it is dreadful to think of anyone being killed or even hurt; -and i hope nothing really serious has-- what has frightened you into this? what have you done? aha! that sounds like the answer. -i have not betrayed you, caesar: i swear it. i know that. i have not trusted you. the town has gone mad, i think. -they are for tearing the palace down and driving us into the sea straight away. we laid hold of this renegade in clearing them out of the courtyard. release him. what has offended the citizens, lucius septimius? what did you expect, caesar? -pothinus was a favorite of theirs. what has happened to pothinus? i set him free, here, not half an hour ago. did they not pass him out? ay, through the gallery arch sixty feet above ground, with three inches of steel in his ribs. -he is as dead as pompey. we are quits now, as to killing--you and i. assassinated! - our prisoner, our guest! rufio-- -whoever did it was a wise man and a friend of yours; but none of us had a hand in it. so it is no use to frown at me. he was slain by order of the queen of egypt. i am not julius caesar the dreamer, who allows every slave to insult him. -rufio has said i did well: now the others shall judge me too. this pothinus sought to make me conspire with him to betray caesar. i refused; and he cursed me and came privily to caesar to accuse me of his own treachery. -he insulted me--me, the queen! to my face. caesar would not revenge me: he spoke him fair and set him free. was i right to avenge myself? -speak, lucius. i do not gainsay it. but you will get little thanks for it from caesar. apollodorus, speak. was i wrong? -i have only one word of blame, most beautiful. you should have called upon me, your knight; and in fair duel i should have slain the slanderer. i will be judged by your very slave, caesar. britannus: speak. -was i wrong? were treachery, falsehood, and disloyalty left unpunished, society must become like an arena full of wild beasts, tearing one another to pieces. caesar is in the wrong. and so the verdict is against me, it seems. listen to me, caesar. -if one man in all alexandria can be found to say that i did wrong, i swear to have myself crucified on the door of the palace by my own slaves. if one man in all the world can be found, now or forever, to know that you did wrong, that man will have either to conquer the world as i have, or be crucified by it. do you hear? these knockers at your gate are also believers in vengeance and in stabbing. you have slain their leader: -it is right that they shall slay you. and so, to the end of history, murder shall breed murder, always in the name of right and honor and peace, until the gods are tired of blood and create a race that can understand. let the queen of egypt now give her orders for vengeance, and take her measures for defense; for she has renounced caesar. you will not desert me, caesar. -you will defend the palace. you have taken the powers of life and death upon you. i am only a dreamer. but they will kill me. and why not? -in pity-- pity! what! has it come to this so suddenly, that nothing can save you now but pity? did it save pothinus? caesar: enough of preaching. -the enemy is at the gate. ay; and what has held him baffled at the gate all these months? was it my folly, as you deem it, or your wisdom? in this egyptian red sea of blood, whose hand has held all your heads above the waves? and yet, when caesar says to such an one, -"friend, go free," you, clinging for your little life to my sword, dare steal out and stab him in the back? by the gods, i am tempted to open my hand and let you all sink into the flood. will you desert us because we are a parcel of fools? i mean no harm by killing: do it as a dog kills a cat, by instinct. -we are all dogs at your heels; but we have served you faithfully. alas, rufio, my son, as dogs we are like to perish now in the streets. caesar, what you say has an olympian ring in it: but i am still on the side of cleopatra. -if we must die, she shall not want the devotion of a man's heart nor the strength of a man's arm. but i don't want to die. oh, ignoble, ignoble! hearken to me, caesar. it may be ignoble; -but i too mean to live as long as i can. well, my friend, you are likely to outlive caesar. does caesar despair? he who has never hoped can never despair. caesar, in good or bad fortune, looks his fate in the face. -look it in the face, now; and it will smile as it always has on caesar. do you presume to encourage me? i offer you my services. i will change sides if you will have me. -what! at this point? at this point. do you suppose caesar is mad, to trust you? i do not ask him to trust me until he is victorious. -i ask for my life, and for a command in caesar's army. and since caesar is a fair dealer, i will pay in advance. pay! how? with a piece of good news for you. -what news? what news! what news, did you say, my son rufio? the relief has arrived. mithridates of pergamos is on the march. -is it not so, lucius septimius? he has taken pelusium. lucius septimius: you are henceforth my officer. rufio: the egyptians must have sent every soldier from the city to prevent mithridates crossing the nile. there is nothing in the streets now but mob--mob! -it is so. mithridates is marching by the great road to memphis to cross above the delta. achillas will fight him there. achillas shall fight caesar there. see, rufio. -here is the palace: here is the theatre. you take twenty men and pretend to go by that street; and whilst they are stoning you, out go the cohorts by this and this. my streets are right, are they, lucius? -ay, that is the fig market-- i saw them the day we arrived. away, britannus: tell petronius that within an hour half our forces must take ship for the western lake. see to my horse and armor. with the rest i shall march round the lake and up the nile and take achillas at the desert. -lucius; give the word to start. apollodorus, lend me your sword and your right arm for this campaign. ay, my heart and life to boot. i accept both. are you ready? -ready for art, the art of war. come: this is something like business. is it not, my only son? you understand about the streets, rufio? ay, i think i do. -i will get through them, at all events. caesar. caesar. have you forgotten me? oh, i am busy now, my child, busy. -when i return your affairs shall be settled. farewell; and be good and patient. that game is played and lost, cleopatra. the woman always gets the worst of it. -go. follow your master. a word first. tell your executioner that if pothinus had been properly killed-- in the throat-- he would not have called out. -your man bungled his work. how do you know it was a man? it was not you: you were with us when it happened. was it she? -with her own hand? whoever it was, let my enemies beware of her. look to it, rufio, you who dare make the queen of egypt a fool before caesar. i will look to it, cleopatra. hail, caesar! -let us teach the egyptians how to fight and how to run. and then ... home, to rome. hail, caesar! ftatateeta. ftatateeta. -it is dark; and i am alone. come to me. ftatateeta. the queen looks again on the face of her servant. i am he of whose genius you are a symbol part brute, part woman, and part god. -hail caesar... here he comes. hail caesar! i see my ship awaits me. the hour for caesar farewell to egypt has arrived. -now, rufio, what remains to be done before i go. you have not yet appointed a roman governor for this province. what say you to mithridates of pergamos. why, that you will want him elsewhere. indeed! -well, what say you to yourself? i! i a governor! what are you dreaming of? do you not know that i am only the son of a freedman? -has not caesar called you his son? peace awhile there; and hear me. hear caesar. hear the service, quality, rank and name of the roman governor. by service, caesar's shield; -by quality, caesar's friend; by rank, a roman soldier. hail caesar! by name, rufio. hail caesar! -hail caesar! ay: i am caesar's shield; but of what use shall i be when i am no longer on caesar's arm? where is that british islander of mine? -here, caesar. who bade you, pray, thrust yourself into the battle of the delta, uttering the barbarous cries of your native land, caesar: i ask you to excuse the language that escaped me in the heat of the moment. and how did you, who cannot swim, cross the canal with us when we stormed the camp? -caesar: i clung to the tail of your horse. these are not the deeds of a slave, britannus, but of a free man. caesar: i was born free. -but they call you caesar's slave. only as caesar's slave have i found real freedom. well said. ungrateful that i am, i was about to set you free; but now i will not part from you for a million talents. -this roman knows how to make men serve him. apollodorus: i leave the art of egypt in your charge. remember: rome loves art and will encourage it. -i understand, caesar. egypt must pay a tribute to rome in art. and now, what else have i to do before i embark? there is something i cannot remember: i wonder what would can it be? -well, well: it must remain undone: we must not waste this favorable wind. caesar: i am loath to let you go to rome without your shield. there are too many daggers there. -it matters not: i have always disliked the idea of dying: i had rather be killed. farewell rufio. farewell. -farewell, apollodorus. the queen! ah, i knew there was something. how could you let me forget her, rufio? has cleopatra no part in this leave taking? -had i gone without seeing you, i should never have forgiven myself. is this mourning for me? no. ah, that was thoughtless of me! -it is for your brother. no. for whom, then? ask the roman governor whom you have left us. rufio? -yes: rufio. he who is to rule here in caesar's name, in caesar's way, according to caesar's boasted laws of life. he is to rule as he can, cleopatra. he has taken the work upon him, and will do it in his own way. -not in your way, then? without punishment. without revenge. without judgment. ay: that is the right way, the great way, the only possible way in the end. -believe it, rufio, if you can. i believe it, caesar. but look you, cleopatra had a tigress that killed men at her bidding. i thought she might bid it kill you some day. so, without malice, only cut its throat. -and that is why cleopatra comes to you in mourning. he has shed the blood of my servant ftatateeta. on your head be it caesar, as upon his , if you hold him free of it. on my head be it, then; for it was well done, rufio. -come: do not be angry with me. i am sorry for that poor totateeta. aha! you are laughing. does that mean reconciliation? -no, no, no! but it is so ridiculous to hear you call her totateeta. what! as much a child as ever, cleopatra! have i not made a woman of you after all? -oh, it is you, who are a great baby: you make me seem silly because you will not behave seriously. but you have treated me badly; and i do not forgive you. bid me farewell. -i will not. i will send you a beautiful present from rome. beauty from rome to egypt indeed! what can rome give me that egypt cannot give me? that is true, caesar. -if the present is to be really beautiful, i shall have to buy it for you in alexandria. you are forgetting the treasures for which rome is most famous, my friend. you cannot buy them in alexandria. what are they, caesar? -her sons. come, cleopatra: forgive me and bid me farewell; and i will send you a man, not old and ripe for the knife; not hiding a bald head under his conqueror's laurels; -not stooped with the weight of the world on his shoulders; but brisk and fresh, strong and young, hoping in the morning, fighting in the day, and reveling in the evening. will you take such an one in exchange for caesar? his name, his name? shall it be mark antony? -you are a bad hand at a bargain, mistress, if you will swap caesar for antony. so now you are satisfied. you will not forget. i will not forget. farewell: -i do not think we shall meet again. hail and farewell! hail, caesar; and farewell! hail, caesar; and farewell! no tears, dearest queen: -they stab your servant to the heart. he will return some day. i hope not. but i can't help crying, all the same. subtitles by: vipo (leningrad-gush dan). -assembled from a free publication of the play + by (h)ear. russian and portuguese subtitles were used to help with synchronization. made with "gnome subtitles" program. vessel dead ahead, sir! right rudder. -one short blast, mister. vessel sighted on the port bow, sir. slow ahead. slow ahead it is, sir. stop engines. -stop engines. run her amidships. ─ run her amidships, sir. engines full astern. engines full astern, sir. -stop engines. stop engines, sir. take over, mr black. i'm going to board her. lower away the emergency boat. -aye aye. stand by to lower away the emergency boat. we've searched the ship, sir. the radio is smashed. there is dry blood in the crew's quarters and the messroom. -there's water in the engine room, but the sea-cocks are all closed. there is not one living thing aboard the whole ship, sir. maybe your father is okay, captain. maybe .. ─ he's dead. -we'll put a salvage crew aboard and take her into new orleans. yes, sir. what do you think happened? ─ where did you find the ship? is your father okay? -maybe things got so hot for the old man, he had to take a powder? do you think my father would leave his ship at sea if he were alive? let me through. it's been a tough job, i'd say. ─ yeah. -he's plenty mad. hello, captain angel. ─ hello. where's gustafson? he's inside. -─ i'll go through. cotton bales for immediate shipment. take it from warehouse "c" and have it aboard the john ellis by 10 tonight. the pilot and tugs are all ordered for 10:30. captain angel. -good to see you. where's gussy? in the conference room with his wife. captain angel. i want you to know. -how very sorry i am about your father. he was such a good man. i know that, miss drumm. just a moment. i'll announce you. -don't bother. that's why i took you out of the place. i don't want you to be seen in the jewell box. johnny angel. hello. -captain. so you found the emmaline quincy? ─ yes, sir. i'd like to talk to you alone. will you please excuse us, mrs gustafson? -lilah, if you don't mind, please. you said alone, johnny. but this is as alone as you can hope for. she still thinks she's his nursemaid. as secretary treasurer of the company. -i try to assume some of the burden of the business. gusty can't do it all. now. the emmaline quincy is tied up in port. she took a cargo of steel rails to casablanca. -she was to come back with african mahogany. i understand the cargo of mahogany is still aboard. yes .. the cargo is aboard. but my father and the crew aren't. doesn't that interest you? -why yes, of course. i understand my father cabled you from casablanca. did he say he expected trouble of any kind? i received that cable, captain. gusty was in maine at the time. -your father indicated nothing out of the ordinary. johnny, believe me. the great, profound shock we all felt upon learning about your father. i didn't come here for regrets. i want information. -i actually don't know what i can say about what's happened, except to .. look, johnny. there hasn't been much time to investigate. you just brought the ship in. now, when you've had an opportunity to examine it thoroughly. -i want a written report. the condition of the cargo. i'm not interested in the condition of the cargo. i want to find out what happened to my father. gusty understands that, captain. -of course i do. ─ yeah. well, maybe if you spent half as much time worrying about your ships .. as you do for your wife, the company would be in better shape. captain angel. -─ johnny, instead, you sit around and let this .. this ex-nurse run your business. here .. ask her if you can float it in your bathtub tonight, sonny. tell lilah to come back in here. -oh, you shouldn't have done that, gusty. get lilah in here. do you hear me? gusty .. you don't want to see lilah. she only upsets you. -did you want me, darling? alright now. where was i, lilah? just where you always are, gusty. you want me to stay out of sam jewell's nightclub. -you were painting a beautiful picture of yourself as he gallant knight. who'd rescued me from that place. lilah. oh quit believing all that hero stuff miss drumm has fed you all your life. and let me alone. -i know just how you feel, johnny. i'll see you first of the week at the inquest. something may turn up then. i'd like to start sooner on my own. is that okay, sir? -sure. go ahead. thanks. anybody get off the ship in the last few hours? absolutely no one. -see anybody on the dock who didn't seem to belong here? a girl, maybe? a girl? yeah. did you get a look at her face? -─ only her back. nice. she carried a suitcase. a suitcase? what was she wearing? -a green raincoat and a funny little hat. ─ a raincoat? hey, where's the driver? come on, honey. let's walk. -a cab, captain angel? yeah. where is the driver? ─ how far you going? who wants to know? -me. celestial o'brien. ride? how did you know my name? ─ everybody knows who you are, captain. -take my cousin, eric bransoñ. he doesn't get around very much. even he knows who you are. where to? don't you suppose a girl. -a french girl, say. who had no home, no friends, would go to the quarter? could be. go to the far end and work back. okay, captain. -stick around. ─ don't worry. is there anyone new around here? ─ you bet. who? -─ you, silly. i'll be right back, boys. hello, johnny. you've been eating vitamins again. huh. -the angel is not much fun tonight. evening, captain. ─ hello. thanks. don't things ever change? -have you got anybody new in the place? ─ come again? somebody new? a fresh face? i can't hear. -i'm deaf. it seems to be an epidemic. i've been given the same story in every joint in the quarter. okay, then. you now better than to ask questions. -whether a dame is here ten years or ten minutes. it's her own business. even a morgue has got rules. what's the matter? fly in it? -please, i .. a dance? no thank you. i was just leaving. you're new here, aren't you. -certainly not. what makes you think that? the girls here don't usually refuse a man a dance. i'm sorry, but i have an errand. what's your brand of vitamins, honey? -a friend of yours? yes. what's her name? juliette. merci. -sit down. that girl's name was betty. does it matter? a great deal. ─ why? -because you are new here. and you're french. does it make a difference? ─ yes, i can't see why. -i'm captain angel. you know the name, don't you? really, you confuse me. i don't know you at all. please, i have to go. -─ i want you to stay. ─ please. because i'm looking for a girl not as tired as the others. somebody bright and new. like a new penny. i'm not new here. -why .. i have been here for quite some time. weeks. really, you speak of a girl as if she were a .. i don't like that. -you want me to talk? very well. my name is paulette. i am french. that is all. -then you're not new here. i am sorry .. i had hopes. you say you've been here for weeks. you can measure it by kisses. -how many kisses ago since you came here? my coat. give me that packet. hey, dolly. you'd better get joe. -there is going to be trouble. hurry up. looks like rain. you are new here. leave my room, please. -a bright penny. ─ go away. please go away. there is just one more thing. what are you doing? -that isn't mine. it isn't mine at all .. it isn't. ever hear of cinderella? are you going to stop lying? ─ i don't know what you talk about. -that raincoat. the shoe. it isn't mine. i tell you .. ─ are you going to tell the truth? -you don't belong here. don't pretend to. when i found the emmaline quincy there was one person aboard it all the time. you. nobody saw you. -but tonight when it got dark, you managed to sneak off. popped into a cab. you wanted someplace where nobody would bother you or ask you questions. and this is it. i say i don't know what you're talking about. -if you don't say what happened on the ship .. you're wrong. i know nothing. get out of here, captain. ─ beat it, joe. -leave. sure. but you're coming with me. you heard what i said .. beat it. come on, get out! -wait for me. ─ right as rain, captain. oh well. captain angel. i've been reading of the emmaline quincy. -too bad about .. ─ i didn't know you could read. you alone? ─ yeah. where is sam? -─ right over there. is she a regular thing here? ─ lilah? no. she don't work here no more, if that's what you mean. -but sam and paul are opening up new place down in rio and .. she's kind of hunchy about the idea. is her husband around? ─ gustafson? he goes to bed early at nights. -with a glass of milk. johnny. speak of the devil. ─ what were you saying about me? what everybody else is. -you are the talk of the town. haven't you seen the papers? no. quite a spread. sit down, johnny. -have a drink with us. thanks. why not. sorry about your father, johnny. i'm sure you are. -really. a terrible thing, johnny. where's your brother, sam? i don't see him around. paul is out of town. -in rio as a matter of fact. you don't seem to do much business here. oh, i get by. one way or another. is that it? -well. what did you really come in here for, johnny? nothing in particular. ─ no? i spotted you when you came in. -alone, fishing about. whenever anything happens in this town people always come to me. you'd think i was a who's-who on crime. well .. you do have a lot of friends. i wouldn't talk like that if i were you, johnny. -not if it was my father who was right in the middle of it all. leave him out of this. i know how you feel. make yourself at home. lilah will keep you company. -i have some business to attend to, if you'll excuse me. quite a busy man. where are you going? ─ just over there. i'm so glad you came tonight. -it's like it used to be, isn't it, johnny. you want to know something? a lot of things. i mean something i know? sure. -there are two things i've never had enough of in my life. money .. any you, johnny. come on lilah, you .. you're still restless. tell me. -who's in your heart now? gusty or sam? you could answer that if you wanted to. i can't figure you. you're a big success now. -married to a steamship line. yes. married to a steamship line. how exciting. what am i getting out of it? -love? ha. gusty is spineless. he jumps like a jack-in-the-box every time miss drumm opens her mouth. johnny, he's impossible. -and rich. you poor kid. i feel sorry for you. you just don't want to understand. i guess it's the wrong time, huh? -i'm going now. think of me a little. goodnight, lilah. you okay? yeah. -i'm alright. ─ what happened? where is the girl? ─ girl? i suppose you didn't know. -no, i didn't. she was headed straight for the jewell box. anybody could see that. you got a girl here, mister? ─ no girl. -nobody. everybody go. please, i implore you. mister, let me pick up the cigars, please. take a look around, joe. -alright. tell us what went on here. ask him. you saw me come in. i was right behind you. -this would appear to be your party, johnny. you're a little club-footed on land, aren't you captain. you got a permit for that, jewell? ─ you know i haven't. nobody here, jim. -nobody at all. well, captain angel. a few questions. "a shady veranda." "under a sunday blue sky." -kind of nice down in this part of the country, don't you think? i saw the shooting. what are you talking about? oh, ma'am. i even backed the cab up a little so i could see. -you weren't even in the cab when i came out. i was round behind. i'm not looking for any stray bullets you know. here we are. where? -i didn't tell you .. ─ you didn't know. now my cousin hugh runs the place. he's done a little time in jail but .. it's alright .. come on. -yes, but my bag? i checked it. just tell me where it is and i'll go pick it up. oh, you sailors. it is always the same. -you see a girl. then bingo .. you must see her again. the same one, always. her .. this one is not here. you can see for yourself. -what are you doing? following me around? don't you think i have a right to? ─ oh yes. i didn't pay you last night. -because you didn't wait. i'm not that fond of shootings. ride? where to, captain? ─ i don't know. -a hotel. any special one? ─ any hotel. we got the same problem we had last night. i see .. same girl? -yeah. and you don't know where she is? no. "with sweet oleander." "blowing perfume in the air." -you ought to put your heart into your work, captain. put your foot on the gas and change that tune. do you like surprises, captain? take my cousin, hugh, for instance. he even goes in doors backwards because he likes surprises. -i'll tell you a surprise. your flag is up. what's this? right inside. straight ahead. -why? you're looking for the girl, aren't you? how did you know where she was? i brought her here. ─ well, why didn't you tell me? -you stick around. celestial. you can fix that gadget, can't you? i've come for the story. oh yes. -oh yes. of course. i remember you now. you are the man from larue who .. who imagines i have a story to tell. -of course, i remember now. look. i'm not going to hurt you. you were on that ship. all i want to know is what happened. -you can trust me. my father was on that ship. you know that. wait a minute. you mean ..? -you think my father was ..? ─ i don't know what to say. i can't think. i don't know. get your coat. -where are we going? out of here. i know what you've been through. the ship .. then last night. you know about last night? -i wasn't the one who shot at you. breathe again, will you. don't be frightened. i know you can't talk now. come on. -feel better now? yes. you know i thought i could trust him. who? celestial. -oh, forget about that. it's nice here, isn't it. yes, it's beautiful. do you come here often? i used to play here when i was kid. -finally, you got your own ship. you love the sea, don't you. of course. i can't see how you could ever leave this beautiful land here. you're a landlubber, i can see that. -if you had a dad like mine though, you would understand. i always wanted to be just like him. paulette. ─ yes? even though you were on my father's ship, you didn't come to me for help. -i want to tell you a story. you have your reasons. whatever you may think. my father never knowingly did a wrong thing in his life. just tell me this. -is he dead? yes you see, i'm telling you. i like you, captain angel. and if i'm wrong about you, i lose. -you won't lose. what about the crew? they are all dead, except one. except one? who is he? -i don't know. but he is the one who killed your father. i understand how you feel. my father was killed, too. was he on the quincy? -no. but it was because of him that i was there. you see, there was five million dollars in gold bullion on your father's ship. perhaps you know that already. no, i didn't. -and it all happened on account of that? ─ yes. it was french gold. entrusted to my father's keeping. in casablanca. -but how did my father have ..? ─ i don't know. i don't know. i'm just confused. i .. -let's walk again, shall we? sure. i know i'm not going to make this very clear, but i'll try. you see, the gold was stolen from my father. and he was killed in such a way as to make him appear careless. -and untrustworthy. when i found out the day the emmaline quincy was to sail from casablanca. that the gold was being shipped on her to america. to new orleans. i knew if the gold disappeared. -my father's name could never be cleared again. so i decided to follow it and find out who received it. i didn't know how to get on the emmaline quincy. but i made up my mind to see the captain .. and try. emmaline quincy. -captain angel, your stores are here. i got the ship's orders outside, captain. and when i heard that name. i remembered a captain angel that used to come to my father's house. and that was really good. -it was right after my mother died. he was very, very kind to me. and i hoped he would not have forgotten. forgive me johnny, but .. even hoping that he would remember my father and help me. -i was bewildered and .. and terrified at the realization that he must know about the gold. but i had to take that chance. captain angel. ─ yes? -captain angel. i'm paulette girard. well, what is it, miss? why, years ago you knew my father. paulette girard. -you? ─ yes. well. once, when i was a little girl. you bought me a chinese fan with a blue kingfisher on it. -remember? you had a red beard then. i never forgot you. of course i remember. you look a lot like your father. -you know, i tried to teach him chess, but he never would learn as hard as i tried. has he learned the game yet? my father is dead, captain angel. sorry to hear that. too bad. -too bad. i heard your ship was ready to sail. take me to america, with you, captain. america? why do you want to go ..? -yes, i know it's asking a great deal, but you see i .. i'm alone and .. it's difficult. i have relatives over there i could go to. you sent for me, captain? ─ yes. -just a minute. excuse me. ─ certainly. i think we can take care of you. ─ why, thank you. -better be getting aboard. ─ right. i told him i didn't have a passport. he said the authorities were very strict about those matters. and there would be a penalty. -but he thought in my case he may be able to straighten it out once we got there. anyway, he tried. want something? ─ no. no. -i just wanted to thank you for my comfortable cabin. i'm glad you like it. it isn't often we have a lady sailing with us. why have you stopped, captain? taking on a bit of cargo. -i have to see to it. take over, mr raymond. ─ aye aye, sir. you had better go to your cabin. ─ yes. -that's all, captain. take your ladder inboard. let go of your bow line! that's all. ─ aye aye, sir. -it's aboard, but i don't feel very good about it. i didn't mean to eavesdrop. then forget what you heard. the other passengers. like you .. are kind of stowaways. -goodnight. ─ goodnight. "nothing eventful happened for several days." "i was terribly worried and confused." "i couldn't make up my mind whether your father had anything to do with it." -"but as we were nearing the gulf of mexico." what's the matter with you, lefty? ─ trouble with the men, sir. the men? take miss girard to her cabin. -─ aye aye, sir. lock your door and stay until i send for you. this way, miss. ─ yes. lock your door. -understand? ─ yes. who's that? who are you? he's the stowaway the mate told us about. -let him have it. ─ no. we don't need him. sure we do. he's got a place ashore to keep the gold. -paul jewell aboard the dolphin will meet us and take us off with the gold. come on, let's get busy. "i heard him say that sam jewell, paul's brother .." "owned the jewell box nightclub in new orleans." shake a leg, sailor. -let's get it down on the well deck. come on, there. open up. everything ready? before we do anything else, we've got to get rid of that girl. -go to her room and tell her captain angel wants to see her. miss. captain angel sent me for you. open the door, miss. i've been looking for you. -i never thought that you'd .. during the night, all the murdered men were thrown overboard. at dawn, those that were left loaded the last boxes of gold aboard the dolphin. that's all. what about the sea-cocks? -are they open? open and water is pouring in, mr jewell. ─ good. that woman's raincoat. it looks awfully screwy to me. -─ okay. okay, maybe she didn't go overboard. maybe she's hiding. let her hide. if she's on board, she'll sink with the ship. -okay. don't shoot you fool. don't do it. don't do it! that's all .. you know all the rest, johnny. -who did the killing? i never saw his face. but he must have seen me that first night in the cabin. sure, he saw you. that's why he tried to kill you last night. -and he'll try again. you can bet on that. do you think the stowaway could be sam jewell? it could be anybody. and would jewell murder his own brother? -for five million? for that kind of money, he'd do anything. johnny. johnny, i'm afraid. don't be. -i won't let you down. i know you won't. but you understand why it was so hard for me to trust anybody, don't you. sure. what can i do now? -nothing .. i want you to stay right here. out of sight. away from the jewell box. away from everybody. -very well, johnny. of course, i don't want you dead. i want you just the way you are. i'll see you to the door. oh, let him finish. -it's lovely. "everything is peaceful and dandy." "i can see your granny across the street still a-rocking." "watching the neighbors go by." "memphis in june." -"was sweet oleander." "blowing perfume in the air." "up jumps the moon." "to make it that much grander." "it's paradise. -brother take my advice." "nothing is half as nice as memphis in june." hey, celestial. right, captain .. thanks, cousin hugh. paulette, you'd better go inside. -very well. and miss paulette. ─ yes? while you're waiting. why thank you, celestial. -─ sure. got it? yes, sir. the dolphin. a power cruiser. -overall length forty feet. diesel engines. registered in the names of paul and sam jewell. anybody asked sam jewell where it is? nah, it wouldn't do any good. -he's too smart. you are right about that. i'd like it if you checked the sterns of boats of the dolphin's description. the name may be painted over. ─ okay, captain. -we'll comb the harbor for you. ─ see you later. thanks. good afternoon, captain. what's going on here, mister? -boarding, sir. orders from the office. can i tell the chief what time you want steam, sir? no. i'd like to have my orders changed. -you've got plenty of other ships. it never occurred to us that you'd want to stay in port. don't you have enough consideration? well, the inquest is this week and maybe by the time you get back, we'll have it. yes? -hello, dearest. uh .. just a minute. what was i saying? nothing .. nothing of importance. well then, will you excuse me? -i'm just getting all my papers in order. can't you go with me tonight? did you get what you wanted? no. just double-talk. -his wife interrupted. but i'm not sailing. this is drumm speaking. have the cargo intended for the isabel putnam. shifted to the lucy may. -to sail a midnight. well, how thoughtful of you, johnny. you know, it's quite a coincidence, you wanting me to have dinner. i had intended getting in touch with you tonight. you said something about johnny angel and money. -so, as long as you felt that way, i .. thought i'd like to see you again. and you'd heard that gusty was going away on a trip. i didn't want you to be lonesome. ─ that's sweet of you, johnny. -you really do like me, then? crazy about you. but i think i got competition. sam jewell. oh .. -i wouldn't worry about him. i do, though. you go places with him. clubs. i suppose you go on moonlight rides out on the gulf? -or up the river once in a while. what makes you think so? it's only natural. sam's got a boat. the dolphin. -been on it lately? no. i haven't seen the dolphin for quite a while. i don't even know where it is. let's not talk about sam. -let's forget him. okay. how would you like utopia, johnny? what kind of utopia? me. -and all the money you can ever spend. gusty's money? no, he's got nothing to do with it. it's mine. and it's gold, johnny. -i thought he was gone. she kept him from going. that's just like her. you'd better go. ─ but i .. -i'll get rid of him in half an hour and meet you somewhere. how about the larue? remember where it is? how could i forget. ─ i'll be there. -lilah. hello, sweet. i thought you'd left town. i would have gone. oh, i see. -miss drumm thought i was having dinner with someone, no doubt. yes. but you aren't, are you. you are alone, aren't you? of course, darling. -i've been alone all evening. back again? for a drink? ─ same. ─ same. looking for someone again, tonight? -─ no. waiting for someone. how is joe? he quit. hey mack, fill them up. -─ you got it. that was quick. ─ well, gusty has finally gone. are you sure? ─ i saw him off this time. -hi, mack. you still around? you're looking great, lily. let's .. let's drink at the house. -is that where we're going? ─ well, where else? i'm a lady now. i don't neck under piers anymore, johnny. so long, mack. -─ good luck, lily. who's that? ─ she used to sing here. and me with no voice. she couldn't sing either, kid. -say you love me, darling. you love me, darling. ─ oh. quit walking up and down, will you. you make me feel like i'm in with a panther or a leopard or something. -you want me to tell about that money, don't you? when you get around to it. don't pretend. you can hardly wait. well. -how do i know i can trust you? you won't give me any proof. of what? that you love me. what else could i want to know? -you've always acted so .. so cagey. oh sure. i throw myself at you and you put on your catcher's mitt. that's very sweet of you, but .. -but what does it prove? quit worrying, will you, why shouldn't i worry? i may be awfully wrong. but it seems to me that the minute i mention money. -your interest in lilah went up 87 points. oh come here, baby. why don't .. now get out of here. what's the idea? -take it easy, gusty. captain angel came here on a pretext of business. you thought i was gone. well i was. i actually left. -then i had to come back. ─ miss drumm? she had nothing to do with it. i came back because .. i couldn't bear to go away without you. -oh gusty, how sweet. and then i find you pawing at her. trying to mislead her because she's beautiful. trying to influence her. trying to take her away from me. -i'll tell you when to go. since the day i was ten years old. and miss drumm saved me from a beating you were going to give me. i've hated you. no...a very small price if it help prevent the rotten fascist world, you want. -a private little government to protect your beautiful privileges. licata...you are my enemy! i hate the sight and smell of you. i wish you would listen to reason. i learned all i need to know, in madrid when i found the bodies of my wife and little daughter where your soldiers had left them. -well, i've done my best. you won't blame me, will you. what for? for what happens now. just a moment sir... -isn't the lady coming? she's staying the night... you can tell i'll leave the car tomorrow at lord benditch's. here's the beggar! what do you want? -what do i want? why, this is miss cullen's car and you very well know it. i left a message for miss cullen that i would leave the car at her father's. you dirty blackguard! do you think you can walk off with a girl's car and her bag? -just like that a fine girl like miss cullen. yes... i forgot about the bag. i bet you didn't forget about the jewellery that's in it! come on...get out of there! -i know your sort! you bum your way in on board a boat... i spotted you, right from the start! i'm quite ready to explain to miss cullen. or to the police. -that's too easy... you know she wouldn't charge you! i'd smash you myself... if i didn't have a gammy hand! we know how to handle your sort in this country. -miss cullen! you called me a thief... you cheap crook! i want another crack at him! take off your coat! -get up! don't make a scene out of it... take your medicine like a man! come on...get up and fight... you bounder! -good work...neatly done! you see...how foolish you are. no...will you forget about the coal? what's the trouble? just teaching a foreign beggar a lesson he won't soon forget. -oh? anything i can do? edward...drive on! yes, dear. is he alright? -nothing serious... shall we go? i'd better drive with you, up to town, rose. you are a bit tight, you know. you see...these people are very thorough... -but they haven't got what they wanted. who are you? what are you after, in england? you must excuse me, now... i have a long walk ahead. -but i assure you... be extremely careful of these people. yes, sir? is this the hotel of mrs melandez? yes. -i think there is a room waiting for me. the name is denard. oh, we was expecting you last night. just give me the key, and i'll go up. i had a little accident... -with a car. it's no. 37... 2 flights up. i'll show you.. don't bother... -i can find it. oh...it's no bother. good morning, mr muckerji. oh..there was a telephone call for you.. mr singh... -he said please to ring him back when you got up. thank you. are there any messages for me? a man called last night. he left a note. -here it is, on the table. lucky though, you were introduced... we don't let most people in, without regular luggage. except for couples, of course. how old are you? -i'm 14, and i've made me own living, since i was 10. well, that's something to be proud of. there's a meter for pennies... do you know how they work? oh, yes..thank you. -i've been in this country before... many years ago. you're spanish, ain't you? yes. so is mrs melandez. -yes, i know. what did he look like... the man who brought this? did you see him? yes, he came while i was waiting up for you, last night. -it was long past 12. he was a little man and he offended mrs melandez. i'm sorry i kept you up so late. that's alright, sir... i sleep in anyway... -i have to get up at all hours. i'm quite used to it. i've been here since me mother died and i took care of her, when she was sick. i see. else...where are you? -that's mrs melandez... she gets furious when i've been talking. that's enough, dear... now, go finish off the dining room. yes, ma'am. -mrs melandez? yes. i have a message for you... from madrid. about your sister... -she was killed. last month...in the bombing. thank you. have you any instructions for me? you'll be receiving them in the proper manner. -i beg your pardon... would you do me the greatest favour... if you would answer me just one question how do you save money? i never save money. -literally not? ! not even in the bank or a building society, or... i never save. thank you. -that is exactly what i wish to know. yes...he's here... just hold the line, please. it's for you, sir. a lady. -this is rose cullen. how did you find my address? it was written in your notebook you dropped it on the road, last night. oh... i'd like to have that back for sentimental reasons. -tell me...are you a thief? i began stealing cars, before you were born. you're a liar. i want to talk to you. well...? -not on the phone... have dinner with me tonight. i'm afraid that wouldn't be wise. i might run into your friends again. oh, stop it! -i shall meet you at 7. regent st and piccadilly. goodbye. what is your name? elle. -listen, elle... i have locked the door of my room. i want you to see that nobody goes in while i'm away. but nobody would, sir. somebody might. -you keep the key, else. i trust you. i'll see to it, sir! i won't let nobody in. my name is denard. -i have come for a specimen lesson. i'm so glad! i hope you will soon be quite an old friend. would you just step through. dr bellows always likes to have a word with new clients. -"me tray joyus"! i beg your pardon? the first words of the intrenationo language must always be ones of welcome. oh...it's good of you. i have to do my own typing, you know... -mr secretary's a bit near-sighted, poor thing. most interesting men...our correspondents in northern rhodesia. i've arranged that your lesson... i hope i shall be able to say "lessons" will be given by one of your fellow-countrymen. that is always, if possible, our system. -it induces sympathy and breaks the new world order slowly... but you will find mr contreras is quite an able teacher. i'm sure of it. but first, i would like to explain a little of our ideals... i always hope that a new client has been brought here by love...mm? -love? yes! love of all the world... a desire to exchange ideas with everybody. all the hate...all these wars we read about in the newspapers... -they're all due to misunderstanding. now, if we all spoke the same tongue... it has always been my dream to help and that is why i invented this simple world language. i think it is a very noble work. it is only a question of time. -i've been at it now, for 30 years. of course the civil war in your country, upset us greatly. yes... it upset us, too! "la hora sonas"! -that is..."the clock sounds". but i'm holding up your lesson! the tuition rooms are just to your left as you go out. mr contreras will be waiting... and may i hope to have another interesting talk with you? -i look forward to it. "tablo"... "tablo"? "assaygo". "assaygo". -"attentio". "oona". i'm sorry... there must be some mistake... "oona"..."da"..."traya"..."kvaa"..."vif"... -we are forbidden by the rules to speak anything but intrenationo. i'm fined one shilling, if i'm caught. somebody arranged a lesson for me. that's quite right... i have my instructions. -"kay sown la"... "la sown kastis". where were you last night? of course i want to see your authority. your boat was only 2 hours late and yet you were not in london last night. -first i missed my train... i was stopped at the passport control. a woman offered me a lift. a tyre burst... and i was delayed at a roadhouse... -licata was there. did he speak to you? he sent me a note, offering me £2,000. what did you do? nothing of course. -of course. was that woman connected with licata? i think it is unlikely. what else happened? "la es oon famee". -"oon famee jentil bono". "ekselentay!" go on with your report. i tried to get away. but they caught me. -and i was beaten up by licata's chauffeur. they missed what they wanted. i had to walk... it was a long time before i got a lift. quite a remarkable story. -yes...isn't it? i have to send in a report... no trouble. i will say that you arrived safely and that your delay seems to have been unaccounted for. when will you be finished? -a few days at most. i'm seeing lord benditch tomorrow. if anything delays you, you must let me know. and if your mission is fulfilled you will leave london at latest on monday night. so i understand. -"bona deea". "bona deea". excuse me... is this the way to regent st, please? straight along here to the end... -and turn to the left. you can't miss it. thank you. excuse me, sir...excuse me... i felt sure you wouldn't mind my addressing you, sir. -but the fact of the matter is... i find myself in a predicament. a predicament? a matter of a few shillings, sir. i wouldn't have addressed you, naturally, if i hadn't felt sure that... -that you were...well... of one's own kind. of course, if it's inconvenient for the moment i'll say no more about it... i've never done this before, sir... but... -i know you'll understand. here is half a crown... thank you sir. perhaps one day, i may be able to repay you! good evening. -i did not expect to find you here. not when your friends tried to shoot me. listen... i came here to apologise about last night. i don't believe you meant to steal that car. -but i'd had too much to drink... i never thought they meant to smash you as they did. it was that fool, currie. but if you start being melodramatic again trying to impress me you'd better know it doesn't work. did licata...the tall man... -know you were meeting me here at 7? no... currie did. he got your notebook, you see... he said it ought to be kept, in case you tried anything more. -i spoke to him on the phone today... i said i was going to meet you. i wanted to give it back. he let you have it? here it is. -and you told him where... what time? i may have done.. but there's no use telling me currie shot at you... i don't trust anyone! -it's fantastic...how could they shoot at you in the street...here? what about the police... the noise...the neighbours. one at a time. it was in a back street. -there was a silencer. really? ! how modern of them! i thought they always used a blow-gun with a poisoned dart! -i'll show you! anything could have done that. a bullet! so it's true! we should get off this street. -what's the matter? i'm dizzy. why...you're trembling! i always thought i was pretty tough...but... i've never been mixed up in a shooting before. -why should anyone want to shoot at you? what kind of a man are you? i'm a soldier... i'm at war. but the war's in spain... -not here in england. no...not yet... i told you i'm not a good person to know. isn't there some place we could go? my place is nearby... -if you think you can trust me. i can't blame you, if you don't. go ahead... play something. i haven't played for a long time. -it's no good. it's hard to believe... but years ago i gave concerts. it was here, in london... at the albert hall. -but now to me london is like a strange city in another world. the unfrightened people... the streets without ruins. you know...only 3 nights ago, i saw my city in flames. forgive me... -thank you. this is a lovely room. let me help you. why should you? perhaps because i like you. -i was getting used to you the other way. after they had beaten you up last night, i was sick. currie thought it was the drink. but it was your face. oh, you ought to know how it is... -there's no trust anywhere. i've never seen a face that looked medium honest. i mean about everything. my father's people. they're honest enough... -but where business is concerned... or the miners... yes? ! what then? -if you want anything from my father don't breathe melodrama... or sentiment. show him a chequebook... don't be fooled by his title. it's only a year old. -he's still plain joe cullen of benditch. i haven't come to beg. this is very important to you, isn't it? yes... it is. -my mission is to buy coal. to prevent the enemy from getting it. they are well-supplied... far better than we. with guns, tanks, bullets... -and planes from germany...and italy. but they need coal... that is the one thing we have enough of. but it's worth the money we'll have to pay... to keep it out of their hands. we're a desperate people. -i see. then you better know what you'll be up against. besides my father, there'll be old lord fetting, brigstock...and forbes. forbes is your man. how do you mean? -you can trust him. about business, i mean. in everything else, he's dishonest. even about love. he wants me to marry him. -that's how i know. he's had another girl in london... for years. i had a detective check up. a fine bunch...aren't we? -! are you going to marry him? i may... he's better than most of them. why should you? -you're very attractive... and certainly independent. what do you want and what you settle for are not often the same. and often what you want, is no good either. that's right. -it isn't. i'm always making the same mistake. you better go now. get out. i detest your self-made moralising. -get shot! ...die! ...you're out of place! what's wrong? what have i said? -nothing. i told you... i'm not romantic. i've known too many men... hated them all. -i hate my own father for a thousand reasons. then i fall for a stupid idealistic fool who's trying to get himself killed. and you will be... sooner or later. it's written all over you. -you must not fall for me... we shall see each other again, before i leave. and celebrate... i do like you. very much. -stop lying! was your wife at all like me? no. she was a much nicer person. that's honest, anyway. -i'm no good, of course... but i have my points if a man can stand the strain. it might be worth it if you had the time. he'd find the time if he wasn't a fool. i'm making a pretty good one out of myself. -aren't i? ! no, my dear... but do me one last favour. never travel 3rd class again. -we have enough trouble as it is. goodbye. mr denard! who's that? it's me... -else... else...what are you doing here? waiting for you. why? they're after you. -who? mrs melandez...and a man. they're upstairs now....talking. she was asking me questions. what questions? -if you'd said anything to me. if i'd seen anything...papers. did they go into my room? she did... i tried to stop her. -but she was furious... she struck me again! i just wondered what she was looking for. where are they now? in her room. -are they your deadly foes? they're supposed to be my friends... i don't know. i'd better find out. when you weren't here... -they was watchin' the street. the door was open. i thought i would come in. "bona deea", mr contreras. you did not teach me the word for "night". -i thought you might be interested to know that i was followed tonight. and shot at. did you see them? was it licata? probably. -i suppose he told you about my experiences last night. yes...you don't seem to have handled yourself very cleverly. what is this man, licata... the aristocrat... the connoisseur... -and yet he adapts himself to violence... even to killing. you're also a cultivated man... a composer of music. you give me the impression of a "soft" man. -are you equipped for this work? i doubt if you even carry a gun. no... i don't. i wonder why they selected you. -an amateur. i would wonder myself if i did not know that we are all amateurs in our government. a blacksmith becomes a general... a college professor is our president. a composer...a confidential agent. -we have one thing in common though... we believe in the better world we are fighting for. you've been away from spain for many years... but of course, you know all this. idealism is a luxury i have never been able to afford. -in this world it is much better to be without pity... ...hard. even cruel? even cruel. i accept human nature as it is. -and i take it for granted that each man puts his private interests first. in what way do you mean? well...this afternoon, while you were out... somebody rang up to make you an offer. yes? -they offered you your own terms not to keep the appointment tomorrow. you still have the papers, haven't you? i haven't sold them if that's what you mean. perhaps if you'd show them to us... is it your idea that the 3 of us might do business together? -and you are anxious to get your share out of the deal. well, there won't be any shares! and there won't be any deal. perhaps, then... you'll read this letter! -you know that signature... it's genuine! you see...they don't like you. why didn't you show me this when i arrived? it was left to my discretion to trust you or not. -of course, you know what the credentials are. i know they include a letter of credit of the bank to cover this purchase. you can go home now... your job is finished. and leave it you to sell out? -oh, no! i can trust myself. and i do not trust you. i intend to complete this mission myself. you can't! -if you go behind our backs... denard...you are a fool an amateur, a bungler... you'll never have the chance to cheat us! get out of here! get out! -get out! were you calling, ma'am? get out! come with me, else. don't be afraid. -else... i have something here, i would like you to keep for me. until tomorrow morning. she mustn't know. you and i...only. -will you help me? oh yes, sir! she won't know. i hate 'er! she's wicked! -when she beats me... she's like a madwoman! there must be some way for you to leave when i go. where will you keep it? i know... -what was that? it sounds like mr muckerji. the indian gentleman. i know his walk. he wanders around a lot... -but i think he's very respectable. he does ask the queerest questions all the time. of everyone. i think he's writing a book... or something. -i'll be up at 7, with your breakfast. do you like kippers? i love kippers. goodnight, else... you're an angel. -oh, sir... i'd do anything for you! she was raging at me, this morning. about everything. here you are, sir. -thank you. you meant what you said last night about taking me away? yes...we'll find something better for you. i have a friend here in london... i'm sure he'll help us. -you know, else... i thought you reminded me of someone... who is she? my little girl. younger than you... -but with eyes like yours. where is she now? she's... i left her in spain. you'll be here when i get back, won't you? -oh yes, sir! you know best, why you have not obeyed instructions... it will not be too difficult to convince them in madrid that you are a traitor. i see... what is not provided for in my expenses.... ...is a weeks wages for the maid. -i'll pay that myself. you mean... you are taking her away? yes. why? -where? you have bullied and terrified the child, long enough. mayfair 90541. he has just left. then...does he have the credentials with him? -perhaps... i'm not sure. he's too careful now, to take chances. well, do something... something that will get him into trouble. -how do you mean? with the police...anything. what? it was licata? i'm finished, ma'am... -i'm going up to my room, now. what did he say? come with me. come here! come here! -you lied to me! didn't you? ! how dare you lie to me! what have you been up to? -i don't know what you mean! you've got his papers, haven't you? ! no! ... -no! haven't you? ! no! .. -no! not now! so...you did have them? ! i haven't got them! -where are they? i don't know... i haven't got them. you're lying...you do know... and you will tell me! -where are they? ! i don't know... i don't know! well! -... i say...it's you! happy meeting, old chap! look, i seem to have made an ass of myself the other night... i apologise. -that's alright. i'm looking for a chatham terrace. it's down... i'll walk you there... i'd like to show there's no ill-feeling... -always glad to be of use to foreigners. i'd expect you'd do the same if i came to your country. of course... that's not very likely. that's very good of you. -you know, i thought you were one of those confidence-men. stupid of me...but i've been caught that way, myself. and miss cullen's a fine girl. yes, she is. it was my first roadhouse... -the time i was swindled... "the spanish galleon"... near maidenhead. i lost my shirt on it... but i've got something very nice, lined up now, though. -down at becks hill...on the coast. a new idea in popular hotels... very smart and expensive. well, i'll be blasted... do you know who we just passed? -no, i didn't notice. the chauffeur...what's-his-name... the one you had the bout with. what do you say we go back and have a word with him... heaps of time... -chatham terrace is just ahead. no... i have an appointment. it won't take a moment... after all it was a fair fight and no favour... -you ought to shake hands... customary. it was my mistake, you know. let go of me! excuse me... -could you show me to no. 7 please. you're on the doorstep, now, sir. thank you. my name is denard. i'm afraid i'm a little early. -may i take your coat, sir? i beg your pardon, sir. his lordship gave orders that you were to go straight in, sir. mr denard? lord benditch? -mr forbes... lord fetting and mr brigstock. lord fetting is indisposed. i believe you know the object of my visit. had a letter a fortnight ago, warning us. -now i'm a busy man so if you'll excuse me, we'll get to business at once. i should like it. you know the amount of coal we require. yes. can it be supplied? -granted we are satisfied with the conditions... yes. we'd pay the highest market price and a bonus of 25% when delivery is completed. in gold? well, a proportion in gold. -you can't expect us to take notes, which may have no value, but in spain. ...or goods, which you may not be able to get out of the country. there is no question of the exchange falling. we have maintained an even level now for over a year of war. we must insist upon two thirds in gold... -and a bonus of 35%. that's very high. it's rock bottom... we take a lot of risk. ships have to be insured... -heavily insured. it's under a war zone. when would you start delivery? next month. but with the quantity you want, we'll have to re-open several mines and that takes time...and money. -of course, you hold a pistol to our heads... we must have the coal. another point... we're businessmen... not politicians or crusaders. -what brigstock means, is that we may get a better offer, elsewhere. you may...but there is the future to think of. if the fascists win...they will cease to be your customers. the germans have plenty of coal. that is looking very far ahead. -what concerns us, is the immediate profit. you may find that their gold is less certain than our paper. after all, it's stolen. you could be sued. and to send coal to them, might stir up strong objections here. -that is for us to consider. of course... i had them here. in my breast pocket. they've been stolen! -stolen? ... when? i don't know...perhaps on my way to this house... your butler took my coat... -well...that's that! we can't sign a contract with an agent who's unaccredited. is there nobody in london who'd answer for you? nobody. mr denard says he has lost some valuable papers... -did you see them? perhaps they fell on the floor. no sir... i saw nothing. didn't you...? -very well. yes, my lord. then there's nothing more to be said. we have another client... we can't hold matters up, indefinitely. -i'm certain they've been stolen. my home has been searched. your daughter knows i've been attacked and shot at. my daughter? ! -what my daughter may say, is not evidence in this house. this matter is not finished... i advise you not to act rashly. we are never rash! however you worked it, it was clever. -but it's not quite that simple. i suppose you'll be leaving the country rather quickly, now. i'm not leaving. what good can you do here... without a ... -a great many people in england will be interested to know your business. really? ! his lordship will see you now, sir. i wonder if a mr den... -oh... there you are! have you talked with them? yes. well? -is the man who opened the door, new here? i don't know... i seldom come here... why? my credentials were stolen. -did they turn you down? yes. i beg your pardon, miss... who do... tell mr forbes to come out here. -i'm afraid he's in conference. you don't know who i am, do you? it's not my business to know your face... but you better know mine. i'm his lordship's daughter. -i'm very sorry miss... i didn't know. tell mr forbes that i want to see him. so he is new. i'm sure of it now. -when he took my coat. so, let's get them back. they're too smart for that. they've had time to get rid of them. neil... -i want you to do something for me. anything, of course. those fools don't believe him. now you'll forgive me... but it is a tall story. -i believe him... i know what they've done already. i said a "tall story", rose... not an impossible one. we can prove to you we're not lying. -"we"? yes..."we". you believe me, don't you? i believe you always tell the truth, rose as far as you know it. come in here! -in there... he's the gentleman in the dark coat. thank you. then he was shot at... here's the bullet... -i picked it up myself. mr denard? yes? i'm inspector geddes... would you mind coming with us to answer a few questions? -what do you want with him? are you arresting me? we haven't quite got that far there are just a few questions. i can answer them here. as you please... -there's report of a stolen car... a car hired at dover. i hired the car... it's been returned. you gave a false address to the immigration officer at dover... -i thought it was a formality... i didn't know for certain where i would be staying. i see. i believe you're acquainted with a miss crowle. no... -oh, yes, i think so... you're staying at the hotel where she worked. hotel? you don't mean... else? -else! what's happened? ! what's the matter? ! -they haven't done anything to her, have they? i don't know who "they" are... but the girl's dead. else... what are you talking about... -what's happened? the girl seems to have fallen from a window this morning... or possibly she was thrown. she's a child... i was going to ask you to find her a job. -it was murder! this is a bit more than you counted on...isn't it rose.? you can't implicate him... he's been here at my father's since noon. you'd better go, miss cullen... -this isn't a case for lady's ears. oh, don't be an ass! what are you getting at? ! the hindu gentleman... -a mr muckerji, staying at your hotel... he's made a statement... he saw the girl in your room last night... and again this morning...undressed. that's absurd! -how could he? he makes no bones about that, sir... he was peeping. said he was getting evidence... i don't know what for. -he said the girl was on your bed... taking down her stockings. do you deny this? yes! what was she doing, then? -i had given her some valuable papers the night before to hide for me... she carried them inside her stocking. i thought my room might be searched. did you know this girl before? no, no... -i haven't been in england for the last 15 years. then you have no idea who committed this murder, as you called it. yes...the woman... who runs the hotel... and the man...named contreras. -and the motive? i'm not sure. we've questioned mrs melandez... she said the girl was last seen in your room. as for this "mr contreras"... -there's no one of that name in the hotel. you've got to do something! we are... we're taking you along. i'm warning you... -if you don't do the job, i will. you won't be doing anything more in this country! come on... we have a car outside. get away! -go on! don't make the mistake of thinking i won't shoot. now don't act wild... we've got nothing definite on you yet. stay there...get back! -drop that gun, you fool... this is london! if you do get out of here, you'll be picked up in a few hours. what are you going to do? i've been beaten, robbed, shot at... -betrayed... i've failed in my mission... i've had enough! but that child was murdered and for this, somebody's going to pay. i'll fire at the first one, who comes through this doorway. -which way did he go? that way, sir get after him! close in on him! careful...he's armed! -over the other side! is that you, constable? yessir! he's not this far... he must be behind... -go back. miss cullen...we think a murder has been committed. we must ask any questions which seem justified. i think i've answered them, inspector. tell me...has he told you anything about himself when you were in the... -i wanted to tell you that i'm alright and not to worry.... if you have been. yes...excuse me... won't you sit down... i was about to ring you up and ask you if the car had been fixed. -no...not at all... look here... i've been thinking over what you said yesterday, about repainting... and i don't think you should go ahead with it. we'd better talk it over. -no...my mind is made up... i'm on my way now. tell me...did they sign a deal with licata? yes... do give me the address of your shop. -it's 15 upper benson st... a basement flat. right...and you are being careful... aren't you? i'm very fond of the car. -what was that? the language of the future... intrenationo. is that you, mr muckerji? yés! -got to be sure... wait, i'll g with you. i thought i heard you come in. mr muckerji... good morning. -i've been busy. very busy. among the neighbours. what have you been busy about, mr muckerji? you know my habits... -what often may appear to be my curiosity is really my profession. i'm a student of the human race. a mass observer. and i have been collecting data on the death of else... and this will interest you... -this morning there was somebody who said she saw the child fall. but she didn't. no? no! because she told me the wrong window. -not the room you said she was in... but the floor above. that is very interesting, i think. are we painting? yes...that is an ancient custom to repaint the premises after death. -i have to go... if you need me for anything... i'll be at the school. i will not be alone... mr muckerji will be with me. -won't you, mr muckerji? you wanted to see the body... did you not, mr muckerji? yes, if it is convenient... i've brought a few flowers. -you're following me... why are you following me? surely you ought to be speaking intrenationo to a pupil. i want nothing to do with you! i can understand that. -what do you want? you got some paint on your coat. did the child put up a fight? and scratched the windowsill. i wasn't there... -i know nothing about it... what do you want? a little justice... let's get into this taxi. no... -i'll scream! i wouldn't if i were you... you heard about a gun. i swear to you... i wasn't there when it happened... -it was maria... mrs melandez. you're lying... they bought you both. didn't they? -how were we to know... you had not sold out? you couldn't... so you sold out first! didn't you? -please...put down the gun! if you were at home, you would be tried as a traitor. and shot. but we're not at home now. after licata paid you... -what were his orders? i didn't see him. he talked to maria. all he said was "do what you can"... and you didn't know what that meant. -not exactly... how could i? i only knew she had some plan to get you into trouble. you know a lot. maria told me afterwards. -she tried to give the girl a scare... and then... then she lost her temper. you know she has an awful temper, and no control. it's only one girl out of thousands. -they die every day... at home. it's war! that's how maria argued it! and what did you say? -i was against it. before it happened, you were against it? yes...no... i mean afterwards... when i saw her afterwards. -you're lying... you're as guilty as she is. but i swear i wasn't there! it's her you want... she did it! -stand up! don't...don't frighten me... i have a bad heart. doctor's only given me 6 months to live. they made a mistake... -stand up! get back to that door. as you said...this is war. wait... listen to me! -if you only had 6 months to live and no hope at all... wouldn't you choose a little comfort and respect... i didn't want to die in that stupid school! "bona deea'..."bona mateena"... the old man creeping around in a rubber suit! -it's cold in there! ... i get the pain had to apologise in intrenationo... no, wait...hear me out! don't move! -don't make a sound. whose place is this? it's alright...the owner is away. why the gun? you haven't done anything crazy, have you? -but you'll be seen... you can't stay here. i know... i won't be here long. no...he's only fainted... -he helped to kill the little girl. he's dead! there was no shot. the gun frightened him. he said he had a bad heart. -they can call that murder. it will be twice in 2 days. at least this time it would be closer to the truth. i don't seem to be able to do anything correctly. don't stand there joking! -what are we going to do? if it is the police... you must accuse me. well? my name is fortescue... -who the devil are you? i live up above. isn't ferdie... that is, mr glover, here? no...he's out of town. -i knew he meant to go...but... when i saw the light... good heavens...what's that? "that"...as you so winningly put it... is jack. -jack austen. is he ill? he will be...he's passed out. we've been having a little party. but ferdie never had parties. -i know... he lent us the flat. yes...yes...so i see. my word! ... -he does look ill. wouldn't he feel better, if... you know...if he brought it up? no...he's better as he is... just lying quiet... -do you want a drink? no, no thank you... i don't drink. well, i must be going. oh, must you? -yes, please forgive my barging in. of course... we'll tell ferdie you called. thank you...good night. interesting people one meets in your work. -and all i did was give you a lift in a car. thanks. i like you very much. that sounds as though you mean it this time. it's nice, anyway. -i wonder if ferdie has anything to drink. that looks like something over there. it would be... blackberry wine! what's that for? -you're not going to do anything else crazy, are you? i have a call to make. you said they've signed with licata. yes. your friend forbes, also? -i suppose so. which mines would they reopen? the lancashire pits at benditch... that's the town, my father took his title from. i have to try and stop it. -i don't know how. are you insane...? ! you've got to get out of here! you've got to get out of the country. -you better go. i'll leave after you've gone. i haven't much time. i've had a most interesting afternoon talking to the neighbours... you've been out among them... -...again? very refreshing...this tea... tell me, mrs melendez... do you believe in the principle of justice for everyone? certainly. -why? it makes me very happy to hear that you agree with me. because this afternoon i have written out a summary of my investigations and put it in the mail. most of the neighbours had a great many theories about the incident. but you'll be interested to know, that one of my fellow-countrymen himself saw the child fall from the window. -it was my cousin, mr singh who lives in the flat, just behind the hotel. you remember meeting him once. he's a "mass observer", like myself. but a very shy man... who speaks to no one. -he not only saw else fall... but he said she was pushed. by whom? he's furnished the most accurate description of you. mrs melandez... -we "mass observers" try not to involve ourselves in the results of our studies. so i am delighted that even you agree that i have not been wrong. to whom did you send this letter? to the police, of course. they are in whitehall, are they not? -well...thank you for the tea. you know...in india, we sometimes drop flowers in the pot. they add a delicious flavour. well, if you excuse me now, i must go. my cousin and i wish to observe something in the mile end rd. -did i say something amusing? fools! ... fools! all my life i've worked against clever minds... -but in the end it's the fools... the unpredictable fools who defeat you. that's true! very true! you know...there's a passage in your bible... -"god hath chosen the foolish things of the world..." "...to confound the wise." i must tell mr singh, what you said... a most profound remark. well...goodbye! -i've been expecting you. you are late. i'm going to kill you. "the righteous voice of the little people!" who wish to inherit the earth. you fools! -a world full of fools! she must have screamed, when you pushed her out. i'd like to make you suffer first to hear you scream! you are too late. another kind of fool was ahead of you with his own idea of justice. -i decided not to wait for you... so...you failed...again! the knight...in shining armour! before you die... this is for else! -excuse me... is the next stop benditch? aye... are you a foreigner? yes. -it's benditch's man...from london. is it good news this time, jarvis...? or just another item in the paper. is this true? are you gonna open up the pits again? -you'll be learning that in a minute. a man gets impatient. so are we all. you brought bad news afore! here they are! -well, men... what you've read in the papers is true! we're opening the mine. this is the end of your depression... things are beginning to look up on the continent. -and we see better times ahead. we've been working hard at it... we've just signed a large contract with a foreign client shipments to begin immediately. there'll be work for every man jack of you in less than a week. and this won't be a 4-day week for you... -it'll be a 365-day year! this coal will be used to kill people! what? what's that? i said, this coal is going to be used to kill people! -people just like you! what's he talking about? ! who are you? you know me... -i'm the agent of the spanish government. and that man with you... your "foreign client"... he's a fascist...a murderer of women and children! ask him where the coal is going. -it is going to holland! that's a lie! a fraud! it will be sent to spain! your government has forbidden the shipment of munitions to spain. -but this coal will be used to make munitions! to make guns, and bombs! what's that to us? ! what's it to us, where ruddy coal goes? -we're miners...that's all! do you want to dig coal, with which to kill children? ah...shut it off! we don't want no foreigner to tell us what to do! please... -listen to me! why do they want your coal? because the miners in spain will not work for them. you know that... you've read it in your english papers. -the miners at home are fighting them. fighting for the same things you want. they are men... just like you... what we want, is jobs! -who are you, anyhow? he's a foreigner... what's he doin' here? ! get off of there! -we don't know you! pull 'im down! it's the jobs we're 'ere for! i know this means a year's work to you! but it means death to my people. -that man is a criminal... he is wanted by the london police. get a constable! i know i am asking you to fight... for people you have never even seen! -but they are fighting for you, too. someday, you'll know that. i've had enough of this! come on now... no violence here! -here... let me go! you all know me! harry bates! i don't know this man... -never seen him in my life before! but if what he says is true... maybe we should listen to him. we want jobs...yes! but what our work is used for... -that's something different. you all knew my lad, tim... why, some of you used to work beside him down in pit. well, he's been gone a year now...in spain. i didn't know why he went. -i was against him going. i said it was no fight of ours. but he writes to his mother and some of the things that he writes to her makes me think that maybe i was wrong. he says it isn't just a civil war, down in spain... he says when he sees those german planes up in the sky... -it makes him think it's maybe the beginning of something else. that maybe he's fighting just to keep those planes from dropping those bombs right down here in benditch! ah...that's foolish talk! there always was a war, harry. we're here to get our jobs back! -i need my job as much as any of you. but i won't dig coal to be used against my lad. you've got to get out of here! rose...what are you doing...? ...never mind...now hurry! -no but i've got to... don't be fool... they're coming after you. there he goes...stop him! well... -i've failed completely now... you shouldn't have come. it will go badly for you if you're caught with me. they'll be watching every highway. but not the way we'll go. -besides... i'm mixed up enough with you now. what do you mean? they found contreras... the man who lives in the place came back last night, after we left. -i heard it on the wireless, in the car. little mr fortescue gave them an excellent description. of both of us. let me out here... and go on alone. -no... i'm in for a penny... i'm in for a pound. so shut up! we'll see neil... -he'll help you get away. forbes? what can he do? several things if he will. why should forbes help me? -he's in love with you. yes...that's what i'm counting on. miss cullen's here, sir... shall i show her in? i'm sorry, neil... -rose! i would never have come here, if it weren't extremely urgent. thank you, edwards. i see now... i've had a call from benditch. -so, it was you that... well, what is it, now? i want you to do something for me... help him get away... out of the country. -this is a dangerous business, rose. i know that... i said...for me. will you help him? that's asking a great deal. -i'll try. thank you. i thought one of the smaller ports, neil... swansea or exmouth. this won't be easy to arrange. -i shall have to make some calls. you'd better stay here tonight. you must leave at once, rose... ...now! the police will be looking for your car. -thanks for the lift. we're almost there. will there be trouble for you at home? probably. well, you haven't got the coal yourself but your enemies haven't got it either. -i don't understand. we had a meeting early this morning. we cancelled the contract. the risk is too great. the risk? -you couldn't have advertised the affair better.... ...if you had bought the front page of every paper in london. it's in the papers? ... what happened yesterday at benditch? a dozen leading articles about political gangsters... ..and your civil war being fought out on english soil. -we had to decide whether to sue the papers for libel or cancel the contract. so we cancelled. i can't honestly say that i regret it. i'm not sure it's wise for england to do business with that crowd. that's bexhill. -i'm going to drop you here. there's a hotel, the lido... just beyond the town. your rooms already been booked... 104...under the name of davis. -sometime before morning, a man will pick you up and take you to the ship. i know there is no point in thanking you...but... ..all the same... if it isn't asking too much will you give my love to rose. i'm beginning to think there's nothing else i could give her. 104 is at the far end of the corridor with a really fine view of the channel, sir. -well, i'm dashed! well... i hadn't expected to meet you here. i bet you hadn't! oh, i remember now... -is it the new job you mentioned to me? this is the fellow i was telling you about, boys the one in the paper. no! yes! do you mind getting out of my way? -i want to go to my room. go along... we'll come with you. better be careful, old man... he might carry a gun. -yes! ah...that pulls your teeth! ... thought you'd slip out of the country, i suppose. henley...ring up the bexhill police. -remember what i told you, charley? i spotted this fellow right from the start. it's a mistake you foreigners make... in your own country, you kill each other off like flies... but if you do that sort of thing in england well...you're in for it! -the police will be here in 5 minutes. may i have a cigarette, please. keep the whole packet. matches. what about another drink, while we're waiting? -good idea! this one's on me! oh, frank, it's my turn! why not toss for it? right... -ready? by jove... you fellows don't waste any time! come in! is there anyone her called... -you're the police? that's right. here's your man! took his gun away myself. is your name denard? -yes. get up! ... you know what you're wanted for. i know what it's all about. -excuse me. no handcuffs? i don't think they'll be needed... come along! thank you! -i say... i wonder if there's a reward. it's quite possible! and all scotland yard couldn't find him! rather clever of me, wasn't it? -that was a close one. when i saw the whole crew in there you could've bowled me out with a tomato! you're not detective? of course we're not! come on... -we've got to get a move on! tell the mate to get underway at once! aye aye, sir! and then i fall for a stupid idealistic fool who's trying to get himself killed. i can't be faithful to people i can't see... -like you are. so i came along. you restore my faith. one day, i know...we must win. subtitles by fatplank for kg -twice within one year, the dillinger mob struck at south bend. this time, the fifth national bank. after brutally slugging the guards, the armored truck was stolen. months later, it was dragged from a nearby swamp where the dillinger mob had dumped it. needless to add, it was empty. -both bandits and money had vanished. then began the relentless chase to apprehend these notorious criminals. dillinger's bloody trail had led from indiana to the northwest woods and back again to indiana. ladies and gentlemen, you have just seen some of the highlights during the span of john dillinger's life of crime. you will now hear from the man you have been waiting to see. -i'm john dillinger's father. john was born in 1903 on a farm about 20 miles south of indianapolis, indiana. he finished country school and went to high school for a while. he played and worked and went swimming just like the other boys. looked like he'd marry one of the local girls and settle down like all the folks who live in our parts. -but john couldn't seem to get used to doing the same thing day in and day out. one morning, he came down to breakfast all packed. john wasn't the sort you could argue with so i figured it'd be best to give him his head. he didn't tell me much. all he said, he was going to indianapolis to become a big broker. -so i told him that little town wasn't big enough to hold me. and nothing's going to stop me here either. look, the market is down. everybody's selling short. but me, i'm buying. -honey, you're wonderful. you see, it's this way. no matter how low public utilities go, they'll still be solid because people always need electricity, gas and water. honey, you're wonderful. now you take the oil situation. -do you know what it costs to drill a new well? first, let's have another drink. mac, two more. that'll be 2 bucks in advance. well, you heard the lady. -two more. that'll be 2 bucks in advance. oh, pay him, honey. we don't take checks. say, what kind of a dump is this? -why, you two-bit chiseler. let's get out of here. i want another drink. i wouldn't buy another drink in this dump. oh, don't be that way, honey. -i want another drink. please. okay, okay. i'll be waiting for you. i'll be right back. -yeah? i'd like to buy a pack of cigarettes. what kind do you want? what kind do you got? every kind. -this is a stickup. open the register. give it here. only 7 dollars? and 20 cents. -if you know what's good for you, you won't call the cops. where's the fire? i didn't do nothing. what have you got there? nothing. -just a minute, let me see that. i didn't do nothing. police, police, police! he just robbed me. took my last 7 dollars and 20 cents. -you're cutting off the light. so what? so step aside. who's going to make me? you, blinky? -thank you. i'll take that. you heard me. that wasn't very polite. so what? -you crazy? you know who you took that potato from? the smartest bank man in the country, specs green. have a smoke? that's not my brand. -i'm sorry about the potato. forget it. my name's john dillinger. john who? dillinger. -i'm in for a stickup. really? yeah. i knocked off a joint. shot it out with the cops, but, you know, they had me 20 to one. -fancy that. what are you in for? a stickup. how much did you get? seventy thousand dollars. -seventy thousand dollars? how much did you get? oh, i got... lights out. seventy thousand dollars. -first society gets careless with the criminal and then the criminal gets careless. first guy to gum things up is the trigger-happy punk. personally, i have no use for a punk. some fellas, if you pat them on the back, they'll kill a man for you. if you treat a punk right, you can get the biggest man in the world killed. -however, it's my opinion if a man kills a man, he should have a reason for it. hey, that's just what i think, mr. green. good boy, john. come here. gentlemen, i want you to meet my cellmate, mr. dillinger. -john, this is mr. minelli, doc madison, mr. kirk. hello. hi. hiya. i've been looking forward to meeting you guys. -what's on your mind? well, this is the way i look at it, fellas. if the five of us put our heads together, we can go places. big places. unfortunately, the four of us are not going anyplace for a long time. -as soon as i get out, i'll spring you. all of you. mr. dillinger has very enthusiastic ideas. you can count on me, fellas. run along, john. -i'll see you later. you heard me. fresh punk. he'll learn. the hard way. -i think the kid has possibilities. i tell you, my ideas will work. together we can make the rest of the mobs look sick. i'll be out in six months. the first thing i'll do is spring you. -just two more months, fellas, and i'll show you the way. sleeping, john? just thinking. this time next week you'll be as free as a bird. yeah. -how are you feeling? swell. you're not talkative anymore, are you? you always said i talked too much. good boy. -hey, what have you got there? a present from mom and pop. oh, i didn't know you had any folks. they aren't really my folks. whenever i got in a jam, i used to go up to their mountain lodge till things cooled off. -can you trust them? sure. they know they'd better treat me like their own son or something awful might happen to them. oh, grapes. i love grapes. -you're wanted downstairs, dillinger. well, john, i guess this is it. good luck. thanks a lot for everything. have a good time at amel's golden wedding anniversary. -come on. all the best, kid. what time does the feature go on? in 10 minutes. is it a good picture? -we always show good pictures. can i get a seat right away? it's not crowded till the next show. good. enjoy the show? -fine. pretty crowded inside now. i'll take that. give me the rest. i'm not fooling. -no. recognize him? yes, that's him. you sure? positive. -but yesterday you were positive. well, i made a mistake. but you seemed so sure. i was just excited. is that the only reason? -i'm positive that isn't the man. you haven't said a word all night. i know. you haven't even told me your name. helen rogers. -john dillinger. well, that didn't hurt so much, did it? i still don't know why i came with you. same reason why you didn't turn me in. you're pretty sure of yourself, aren't you? -in my business, you have to be. just what is your business? "associations made on this day will be highly profitable and lasting." "dear specs, just a line to let you know i haven't forgotten. i ran into an old friend tonight who owed me some money, and he paid off pronto. -we're having a surprise party on september the 26th to celebrate amel's golden wedding anniversary. sure wish you and the gang were here. well, that's all for now. as ever, john." just think, amel's golden wedding anniversary. -september 26th, huh? that's a good day. yeah. maybe we'll make it. what can i do for you? -like to buy a barrel of cement. i'm sorry, but we only sell wholesale. i'm doing a little home gardening. i'd like to buy one barrel for my lily pond. i'm sorry, it's company policy. -i don't make the rules. i'd like to help you, but... but... but... well, we occasionally accommodate somebody who might make a good customer. -where do you want it sent? i'll take it with me. give me a hand. sure. the white cross. -white cross. the white cross. where'd this truck come from? i never saw it before. hey, come here and get a load of this. -holy smoke. looks we got here just in time. yeah. come on, let's take it back. oh, boy, what'll they think of stealing next? -come on, give me a hand with this thing. okay. what a guy will go through to steal a barrel of cement. you two guys get those tools over there. today's the 26th. -nothing's happened. i told you he was a phony. i told you. shut up. the white cross. -we gotta watch for a white cross. there ain't no white cross. all we got is a double-cross. your pal, huh? what are we going to do? -keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. hey, heads up down there! why don't you eat? who can eat? it ain't bad. -why you keep looking at the sun all the time for? there isn't much more time. i told you, i told you. it's all yours, max. okay. -unload it, boys. hey! pick that shovel up and put it down right. yes, sir. kirk, doc, get up there. -this is it. we'll take it up again. what did you put that barrel back for? all right, boys. calling all cars, calling all cars, be on the lookout for a black sedan. -bandits heavily armed. they got us pegged. they got us. it was bound to happen. we're pulling too many jobs. -that's it, we're pulling too many jobs. it was that assistant cashier. he spotted us. i could have taken care of him, if you hadn't stopped me. you're a little too free with the gun, john. -that's a matter of opinion. around here my opinion is the only one that counts. any objections? satisfied? now, our next job is the farmers national. -farmers national? you nuts? that's pretty tough. it's full of guards. you can't get near it. -it's around the corner from the joint we cracked yesterday. that's just why i picked it. they'll never expect lightning to strike twice. that's great thinking, specs. yeah. -yeah. now, one of us has got to case the bank, you understand? since the four of us have been identified it's expedient for us to keep out of sight as much as possible. so that more or less throws it in your lap, john. smile, john. -that's better. well, there's nothing further we can do until john returns with his report. so let's relax. how about a little game? table stakes? -okay by me. deal up. deal you in, john? not tonight. where you going? -out. be careful. why? nobody's looking for me. i told you he was a fresh punk. -well, he'll learn. where you going, honey? if you'd have been another minute, i'd have been gone. where are we going? oh, there's a little place on the other side of town i'd like to visit again. -why did you pick this place? oh, i was here once before. what happened? oh, i left some unfinished business. yeah, what'll it be? -remember me? no. three beers. that'll be 6 bits. i don't think i can change this, sir. -that's all right. keep it. thank you, sir. why three beers? we're gonna have company. -i don't see anyone. you will. who gets this one? you. me? -sure, come on, sit down, join us. many happy returns. wait in the car. i said, wait in the car. well, here's looking at you. -you don't remember me, do you? no, sir. i was in here a long time ago. couldn't pay for a couple of drinks. you wouldn't cash my check. -you called me a two-bit chiseler. mr. graham, a gentleman wants to see you. have a chair. well, young man, what can i do for you? well, i'd like to get a little information. -oh, i see. this pamphlet will give you a statement of our financial condition as of the last fiscal year. well, i was thinking of opening an account. oh. oh, i see. -well, you can rest assured that your money will be perfectly safe here. that's what i wanted to talk to you about. you see, i've got a big deposit to make and with all these bank robberies... we've never been robbed. now, believe me, mr...? -peters. walter peters. oh, yes, mr. peters. believe me, your money will be absolutely safe in this bank. come, let me show you around. -you see, mr. peters, these windows are all constructed of bulletproof glass. they extend to the bottom of the cage. all monies must be slid in and out through the groove. this makes it impossible for a thief on the outside to point a gun at a teller on the inside. that's a good idea. -and as an added precaution there's a button at the foot of each teller. these buttons close the front door sealing off the only avenue of escape. they're also connected with the police department. within two minutes, the bank will be entirely surrounded. hey, that's a good idea too. -now i'd like to show you the vault. no threat of any kind from the outside could force that door open because we installed the latest tear-gas unit. in addition to the automatic burglar alarm, we have a large number of armed guards all of whom, incidentally, are pretty good marksmen. so you see, mr. peters, the bank is absolutely impregnable. yep, you got quite a little place here. -now, do you want to open a checking or a savings account? i don't know yet. i'd like to bring the missus around tomorrow. very well, then. until tomorrow. -quit eating them grapes. there's no use arguing about it. i've thought this over a long time. that's the way i see it. it's suicide, that's what it is. -shut up! a shipment of $80,000 in cash arriving at the farmers national bank tomorrow. we can't afford to pass it up. you heard what john said. will you shut up? -was there a back door? no. the alarm system operates on electricity, doesn't it? of course. i thought of cutting the main cable, but it would operate on the battery system. -maybe we better pass it up. no, there must be some way. i guess we'll have to get some outside help. see if anybody's using the telephone. it's okay. -fine, thanks. hello. hello, louie? this is specs, louie. now, listen, i'm doing a big construction job tomorrow and i can use three of your men. -yeah, the usual rate. no, no, no, i'll call you back. that's the way i see it. that's swell. it's a beauty. -gotta hand it to you, john. what have you there? just my plan of how to crack the farmers national. may i see it, john? you talk too much. -you use a gun too much. and now you're thinking too much. you shouldn't be so hasty, specs. john's idea wasn't so bad. you better take a look at it. -stand back. hold it a second. it's marco. we better get out of here. where did you ditch the car? -in the parking lot, like john told me. all right, marco. doc. all right, kirk. this is for you, john. -i'll take that. but i always take a double cut. not anymore. well, we did use john's plan. all right, john, if that's the way you want it. -that's the way i want it. why are we waiting? let's get out of here. split up. we'll meet in 30 days at fox creek. -otto's place. all right. marco, you go first. kirk, you take the back stairs. you take the basement. -and you go out the fire escape. how are you leaving? i'm going out the front door. only 8000. does monsieur wish to charge? -no, i'll pay cash for it. thank you, thank you very much. who lives here? what do you care? well, i just like to know where i am. -you're with me. we are closed for the winter. it's okay, pop. how are you, john? glad to see you. -come on in. oh, how do you do? and the girl said to the sailor... this is helen. hello. -hiya. hello there. well, stand up when you meet a lady. this is specs, that's doc, marco, and that's kirk. hi. -hello. well, how about a couple of chairs? won't you take your coat off? thanks. she's nice, isn't she? -call her mom. i call that guy pop. hey, pop, fill them up, will you? just one big happy family. i tell you, i'm going nuts around here, i tell you. -relax, will you? relax. who can relax? how can a man sleep nights? them crickets. -why don't you complain to john? he'll knock them off for you. how long are we gonna stay here? it seems i'm not giving orders around here anymore. john's got something up his sleeve. -you can bet on that. whatever john says, it's okay with me. but it's them crickets that got me down. them crickets. all night long, them crickets. -where's john? what's up? where's john? cops in the village. john. -two cars full of them. they are asking questions all over the village. i told you guys never to come here. marco, get the cars. get packed. -watch the highway. where are we going? west. john, i don't think we ought to do this. i don't care what you think. -looks like the dillinger mob has come west. oh, this toothache's murder. probably abscessed. you don't eat the right kind of food. here, take a swig of this. -you ought to see a dentist. that'll hurt more. oh, it's killing me. it won't go away by itself. specs is right. -you should see a dentist. all right, all right. yeah, but you gotta find one you can trust. you can't trust any of them. once you open your mouth, you're through. -how do you do? my name is robbins and i called for an appointment. yes, mr. robbins. dr. stanley will see you now. mr. robbins, sit down. -ready, doctor. now, what seems to be the trouble? i got a bad tooth. open wide, please. it certainly is a bad tooth. -it'll have to come out. will it hurt much? i'm afraid so. you have an impacted wisdom tooth. maybe i better come back. -i'll give you an anesthetic. you won't feel a thing. okay, you're the doctor. hey, wait a second, doc. yes. -is that stuff dangerous? oh, i give it to children. all right, now. now breathe deeply. deeper. -deeper. deeper. deeper. deeper. deeper. -extra! paper! dillinger captured. read all about it. extra! -dillinger captured. extra! paper! dillinger captured. read all about it here. -dillinger captured. extra! paper! dillinger captured. read all about it. -extra! paper! dillinger captured. read about it. extra! -paper! extra here! extra! dillinger captured. what do you got to say now, dillinger? -no tag town jail can hold me. i'll be out before a month. how are you doing? good evening, mr. dillinger. don't you ever get tired of whittling, jack? -you gotta do something. time sure passes slow in here. what are you making now? a boat. one of the guards wanted one for his little boy. -he promised me 50 cents. is it hard to learn? well, mr. dillinger, you don't need no 50 cents. hey, jack. yes, sir. -i'll give you a dollar for that knife and piece of wood. sold. thank you, sir. going someplace? yeah. -well, have a good time. thanks. hey, guard, guard. oh, guard, guard. what are you hollering about? -stick them up. stick them up. open up. open up, or i'll blow your brains out. get in there. -get in there. mr. dillinger. my boat done turned it into a gun. so long, jack. this is tony. -glad to meet you, mr. dillinger. keep both hands on the wheel. who is he? well, when you were picked up, specs felt he needed an extra man. so i felt we needed an extra man. -tony's a good boy. i've got nothing against tony. well, i'm glad you feel that way, john, old boy. i'm glad you feel that way. we were just wondering, all of us here, and talking about how you'd get out. -yeah, how'd you do it, john? who sprung you? what's the idea? what's the matter with you, john? now, wait a minute, john. -wait a minute. you gotta listen to me before you do anything. i didn't turn you in. i didn't send those cops to that dentist. i never knew anything about it. -you gotta believe me, john. you gotta believe me. sure, i believe you, specs. sure. why, it's wood. -it's wood. look, fellas. it's wood. john broke jail with a wooden gun. john, you're always kidding. -we're pals again, john, huh? sure, specs, just pals. say, what's the matter with your friend? i don't see him anymore. who's that? -you know, the one with the glass. specs. he had an accident. oh, that's too bad. he was hurt much? -eddie, vito, dutch, specs. pretty soon i have no more customers. did you see helen? look, john, we gotta get some dough but quick. what happens to the money we get? -when you're hiding out, everything costs triple. you spent it pretty easy while i was away. we had to do something to kill the time. what's the difference? we're broke. -what's next, john? we're too hot. we gotta pull one big job. where? the first national. -first national, are you crazy? count me out. i wouldn't go within a mile of the place. we're not gonna. oh, i see. -we'll get it outside the bank, like we did before? oh, they'll never fall for that again. i wouldn't go within 10 miles of the place. we won't go within 100 miles of it. that sounds good. -a shipment of $300,000 is coming to first national from the treasury. treasury?

-what is you thinking this morning? life is a hell. i was thinking about the past. i told my father that he needed something, and he told me "passes your diploma first." yes,many parents, have said the same thing. -but it did nothing. not the old thought worked. they did not know what was the war. the priest is here. -do you accept it?

sure. you mustn't think i'm afraid. -one must change, right? you turn into two persons: a quiet and peaceful sort of guy during daytime, and one tough as nails during nighttime. one has to get used to it. it's possible we'll get used to plenty more. -i'm really pleased we got to know each other. i feel the same. good night. good night. you stay downstairs in the print shop. -i will. in case something happens, nobody at my place needs warning. ok. see you later. hands up! -that's him. where's the key to the print shop? i brought it with me. i don't think so. open the door. -open the door. it's the police. who are you? i'm one of gustav's friends. gustav has been arrested. -so? i wanted to warn you but i came too late. what happened?

no, captain. -we've almost reached port. yes, captain. i don't expect him back until this afternoon. did michael tell you he'd be here before that? no, i was just passing by here so i thought i'd drop in to enquire. -well, i never hear from him until i see him. what is it really that michael's supposed to do this time? he only thinks about that factory. then you know what it's about. and when will it happen? -the final meeting is tonight, then everything should be ready... sunday. what are you hiding from me? we've received bad news from jutland. what's happened? -well, razzias and such. one cannot say too much over the phone. and michael? we don't know yet, but usually he's fine. -he must return, you hear me! michael! we were just talking about you and now you're here. did you come by train? no, i borrowed a wehrmacht car. -what? yes, i've just got rid of it. the driver wasn't too happy about it. here's his gun. well, i had to get home, right? -it would have been nice if you'd waited a few days first. moeller and his group has been arrested. oh, no. how? somebody has ratted on them... so you could have waited a bit with your stunt. -these damn snitches! we have no clue! tomorrow either of us could be ratted out. yes, they are dangerous. what happened in jutland? -i got in touch with one of our guys. the germans ambushed me and i had to shoot my way out. did you hit anyone? yes, two. you'll get a full report one of these days. -and the explosives? everything was loaded aboard. excellent. see you tonight then. yes, i'll be there. -i'm happy you got away. goodbye, ruth. goodbye. so you did come home to me again. i always come back home to you. -was it bad? let's not talk about it. now i'm back with you. have you been worrying? yes, some... but now i'm almost happy again. -you should sleep now. you must sleep sometime. i think you're a damn fine girl... and a brave one at that. i love you and no one must take you away from me. i'll always come home to you. -you just have to wait and i'll be there. michael... so here's the power station and here are the four turning lathes... if you have enough men, it'll work out fine. right, i'm getting the new detonators by boat. -how much do you need? 200 kg in all. four small ones at 25 each and a big one at 100. are there many guards? twenty. -and ten of those are german, or in any case members of the schalburg corps, all veterans of the eastern front. surely, you should be able to get enough men. yes, but what kind of people? why was moeller arrested last week? because someone ran his mouth off. -it doesn't look pretty. you'll need at least 30 men. 25 will do. what do the mayz factories really make? aircraft parts. -you want me along? i can bring some men. who have never taken part? no thanks. i'll get people. -i hope they're not afraid of the dark. you shut up. that's fine. will we be told this week? yes, saturday at the latest. -what's keeping dreyer? he's never on time. if he's not here in 10 minutes, i'm going out looking for him. we can't be stuck here all night. i have tuition tomorrow morning at eight. -to hell with your tuition. no, far from it. i'll sit my exams this christmas. if i fail, i cannot afford to go on. you'll never be a priest. -our lord forgot about you a long time ago. i don't think our lord is all that interested in resistance work. then again, what about the flood? that must rank as the finest piece of sabotage ever. well, i'm not quite sure i'm forgotten. -i spoke to him on the phone recently. anyway, strangely enough, i really want to become a priest. getting to say all kinds of stuff from the pulpit... well, we'll go to the mayz factory. if we see dreyer, we'll take him along. -it's him. good evening. good evening. good evening. how did it go? -great. you're late. yeah, want to know why? it's a hellish job getting through all that masonry. next time i want a craftsman to come along. -i have no clue how such a damn thing is cemented or bricked. i had to toil with that crap for half an hour. so it went to plan then? yes. in about 20 seconds everything will be blown to bits. -it's gone. tom would like for you to come scout the mayz factories tonight. sure, no problem. will there be a full company? no, we go two at a time. -let's go, prikken. there's some food over there in case you're hungry. the guard was an old guy. "we just make pipes here," he said. "smoking pipes." well, he didn't fool me. -was he alone? yes. he was carrying an ancient revolver. from the days of garibaldi. he was more afraid of it than we were. -aren't you too tired to check out the mayz factories now? nonsense! let's go, tom. how are things? what do you mean? -do you think everything goes fine? well, i guess things go pretty well. this sure is a strange business, right? yeah, and we're at the most only 1 or 2 percent of the population. and now, looking at it in a cold and harsh light, it's a question of of whether they deserve our efforts. -they hear a few gunshots and go right back to sleep. they hear the sound of an explosion and carry on dancing. i'm still naive, envisaging a future world... yes, you see... a society that will protect all the values that have sprung from... -i'm not sure how to put it... that arose from the work and ideas of multiple generations... supposedly, they call it "culture". do you think we'll ever be thanked? no. i'm also a poor patriot. -every time one of us dies, i wonder if the sacrifice is worth it. death is final, with no hope. when we gather after the war to celebrate in honor of victory, it would be damn hard if we were to think about all the others. all those who didn't make it. it's actually them who'd be hosting the party so brilliantly for us. -yes, but they get a worthy death. they get to be heroes. even though the status of hero won't bring them back again. a certain number of losses has to be expected in any war. it's our duty to fight and even die if it comes to that. -yes, i know it's necessary. sabotage is also necessary. that's just the way it is. you don't know how much i long for the day when one awakes and knows that the car stopping outside is the milkman and not the gestapo. actually, it's silly that you're the one in charge of blowing up the mayz factories. -what the hell are you really fighting for? i'd rather not have my answer disappoint you. don't worry about it. i fight because i'd be ashamed of myself, if i didn't take part one way or another. no, we're all booked. -it can't be helped. no rooms available. good evening. good evening. any news? -no, nothing. good night. good night. it's you. aren't you asleep? -i lay awake waiting. yeah, spending all your life watching and waiting. i'm so happy, michael. are you? why? -because we have each other. because right now thousands of men and women need each other. indeed. we are one giant army that's just waiting for the light to return. that day will soon come. -yes, that day will soon be here. and then we'll greet our comrades in the occupied countries. and we won't at all feel strangers. after all we're connected. we've fought on the same side during all these years. -do you think i'm a silly girl? i think you're a very wise girl. even when i say something stupid? you never say anything i don't care to hear. i simply wouldn't know what to do without you. -do you remember the first time we met? yes. it was at professor sukov's lecture. you stood there laughing and clapping your hands. yes, and the fountain pen... -right, the one you tore from my hand. yes, but you did get it back. you looked so funny as you came chasing after me. i stood there gasping for breath. i was so overcome with joy, and then you said: -'oh, is it you with the fountain pen? ' well, yes, i didn't know your name then. you looked so funny when you took the fountain pen out of your pocket, saying: "here you go, you may keep this." -yes... and then you laughed, making me feel as if the old, tired earth became light and magnificent. michael, do you think others are capable of loving each other as much as we do? no, of course not. michael? -yes? what do you most cherish about me? yes? they've taken dreyer. oh, no. -they went in pairs. should we leave? yes, heaven knows how long he'll manage to keep silent. hello, is it the receptionist? yes, yes. -do you need the bikes right now? should i leave the suitcase? very well. put it in the bag. what if i need to use it? -you shouldn't use it on the road. i still prefer to carry my gun on me. but there are razzias almost every night now. give it to me. do as you see fit. -isn't it enough that they caught dreyer? dreyer wasn't arrested in the street. he was picked up in his home. do you mean to say that he too was... snitched on? -yes. here you go. thanks. so the suitcase is to be left here? yes, i'll arrange for it to be picked up. -are the bikes ready? yes. and if there's any mail? it'll be picked up. thanks. -thanks. goodbye. goodbye. stop! id papers! -surely, there's nothing wrong with travelling by road? what are you saying? nothing. here you are. search him! -id papers! thank you. you may wait here. hands up! that's it. -everything is fine. good, you may go on. it's locked. do you have the key? no, we'll just have to break in. -uncle has let me borrow the house. it can't be that hard. let's see if we can get inside through a window. the key's on top of the clock. over there... -oh, michael... i'm so worried for you. what? you who are so brave. i'm not brave. -i love you so much. when one's afraid of losing someone, one isn't brave anymore. come here, you need to rest. no, i can't sleep. today i see everything clearly. -the trees, the fields, the meadows... because i have you. but... if something were to happen to you... if you were to die... everything will lose its meaning. then i'll cease being a human... then the meadows will cease being green. they'll turn red... coloured red by your blood. ruth... -i do understand that someone needs to be sacrificed, but why does it have to be you? i realize that the life of one man means nothing compared to the many but... why does it have to be you? should we just give it all up then? should we just retreat and let the world manage as best it can? -do you think there's nothing worth fighting and dying for? no. but you mustn't die and leave me alone. you mustn't die. so i just wanted to let you know. -the caretaker keeps open house for the germans. the eldest daughter cleans the stairs at the german hq and both she and the wife let the occupation forces have their way with them - day and night. so you think those people betrayed dreyer? it's not what i think. it's what the entire household thinks. -the family is disliked but the landlord can't evict them. well, i've heard about it but we still lack evidence. it's a damn shame that a great guy like dreyer gets ratted out by those people. yes... yes, if it is those people. -oh, it's you. do you have any visitors? it's just prikken. hello, michael. hello. -any news? there's to be a state of emergency. that's nothing new. we were just talking about dreyer. it's the caretaker who's betrayed him. -that's prikken's opinion. dreyer was my friend and i'd really like to have this matter cleared up. well, i have to leave. any news regarding the mayz factory? we'll be waiting one more week at the least. -give me a call if you want me to come along. well, take care. i'll see myself out. why didn't you say anything about mayz? i don't want him to come. -that wouldn't be necessary either. he gets on my nerves somehow. he's done a lot of work. i don't want him along anyhow. i've come to receive last rites, if i may say so. -it goes down in a few hours. i'm going to meet alf at five o'clock. you've still not entrusted me with the electric detonator. no. unless we can get sufficient dextro, we'll have to use an electric detonator if we want all the charges to blow at once. -you do realize that as we only have small 300m wires, there's a damn big chance of a short circuit and everything going wrong. i know that. so what's your opinion? are you getting sentimental? ruth knows that it'll happen at five o'clock, -i was wondering... can you get her across the border quickly if it's necessary? i can get her across this afternoon if need be. all right. see you tonight then. yes. -how will you get hold of a mayz factory car? every afternoon at five, one of the drivers visits a tavern to have a beer. we'll take him. what the hell is the meaning of all this? we mean well. -just hurry up. we need your car this evening and we're in a hurry. now just do as you're told. don't try any heroics. fine, but... -you shouldn't be too nosy because we really don't want to hurt you. so it's not me you want? provided you play along, you'll be just fine. what's your name? alf larsen. -great! so is mine. drive now, damnit! the faster we get there, the faster you get set free. tell the boss i had an accident and i'm repairing it now. -sure... i'll be there later on. yes, the rear wheel's busted, too. what's next? can i go home now? -you can't leave until tomorrow morning. meanwhile you'll have company. just come here. have a seat. relax. -yes, but i'm married and my wife... your wife will be notified. are you going for the factory? yes. and another thing... how do we get in? -is there a password or are there papers that need stamping? you won't get in. you must tell us the truth. you won't get in. if the gatekeeper doesn't see me... -that's great. you'll be driving with us then. but i'll lose my job. we'll be sure to get you a job. yes? -yes, it's me. who? so you'll be going tonight after all? when is it going down? i want to come along. -we won't be going at all. no. no. i've also got plenty of men. no! -what's up? that was prikken. how does he know we're here? somehow he just knows. i'm not coming with you. -yes, you are. do as your told! we must get in, understood? it's a bit late knocking off work. well, i had an accident. -hands up! tom, get the workers down in the shelter right now. i'll take care of the guards prepare the charges. let's go. hands up! -face the wall! shoot them in the legs if they try to escape. keep your hands up! hands up! drop that knife! -get behind the table! rise and shine! up against the wall! search them thoroughly! the workers are in the shelter now. -and they remain calm? everything's fine. alright, we leave here shortly. i don't think we can get farther away than this. check if they're coming, damnit! -we're ready. it's the germans! get in the lorry! hurry up! hold on tight. -we'll try to shoot our way through. i'll get in last. get going! well, here it is. i won't be writing that letter anyway. -sorry for having bothered you. why don't you want to write your wife a letter? you miss her, right? i also long for mine. i haven't seen llse for four years now. -neither llse nor my little girl. every time i have leave something comes up. i don't know where she's living. and i don't know where llse's living. she's been evacuated. -war doesn't promote family life. war... war is a dirty business. you're to be interrogated. again? it's a different interrogator. -a sturmbannfuhrer mackensen. come in! the next one. excellent. name? -well... you're stubborn, tough and impudent. it's my task to rid you of these character traits. right? your name is michael lans. -born in 1910 in... what's the name of that damn town? dalsby. let's skip the personal characteristics. you're unmarried but you've been living with a woman - -ruth isaksen - for twelve years. correct? you're accused of multiple instances of sabotage. moreover, you've killed two members of the occupying forces: 2637 hoffner of the waffen ss - and corporal reuterward of guard company 87 north. -correct? you've been staying in a hotel, right? in your private apartment we've found plastic explosives and automatic guns. what have you been using those explosives for? i'll yet make you talk, damn saboteur swine! -yesterday we arrested another person. a woman that you ought to know. right? ruth isaksen. would you like to talk to her? -while you're still able to... so you don't want to? you really don't want to talk at all? i guess you're too haughty. aha. -we're done with this interrogation. you do realize we have ways of making you talk. such small surprises... so you don't want to talk about your underground operations... surely, you'd like to keep your fingers intact, right? -so why let them be destroyed when we'll uncover everything anyway? and we will. get to it, corporal! you just need to tell me about a few particulars, and you can return unharmed to your cell to await your verdict. surely, you're not a complete fool, right? -let me tell you that one of your so-called comrades, who's far smarter than you, has already given us plenty of valuable information. that is how i was able to arrest you and this dreyer character so fast. that's a lie! as you desire. naturally, if you don't want to speak, you shouldn't. -in denmark, as far as i know, a prisoner doesn't need to speak. make no mistake, we will make you talk! if you don't know what interrogation by torture is, you will get to experience it now! rather unpleasant, right? continue! -continue! so what? yes, so what, so what... things are going fine, right? you'll get them one by one until you finally have them all. -we could get them all in one stroke. very well but how? you'll think of something. use your imagination. all of them - that's quite a few. -just how many? well, how many, that's... i do get paid, right? sure, we'll pay. well... miss? -miss? miss? yes? i'd like to order. sure. -what will it be? brandy? sounds fine. very well. all of them, well... if you arrest ruud, will he get out again? -of course. that's a man we always could have use for. so when will i know? here you go. well, i don't quite know... -i need to think of something first... a good story... i know a few... do tell me. lure them out of town, in lorries, as many as possible, including people from other resistance groups. we need the leaders, too. -everyone. i think i have a plan. steinz, come here. steinz, it's urgent. come. -take this. pass it on. steinz, it's urgent! ok, ok. i'd never suggest this raid if i wasn't sure that it would impact the occupying forces gravely. -it regards the biggest gas depot in north sjaelland. and with sufficient manpower and proper preparation, it's 100 percent certain to succeed. according to my source, the guards aren't demoralized but nobody expects an attack. it's not a plant with any anti-saboteur patrols. they're just regular wehrmacht soldiers. -is that advantageous? certainly. they're austrians. yes, but they're still wehrmacht soldiers. how many men do you think we need? -well, i'd say about 30, but we need the assistance of one of the local groups, of course. it's a damn long way off. who gave you this information? they're first class people. ok, but how did you get in touch with them? -will you answer the door? sure. well, how indeed... i went north and met up with some acquaintances. i lived there as a boy. -you want to meet them? thanks but no thanks. it sounds tempting but... so what do you have against it? that i cannot tell you yet. -if we destroy that depot, the germans will sequester danish depots. if and if and if... of course, the germans will be annoyed but that's the entire point. i've got a message from the doctor for the toad. the doctor didn't give you any other messages? -well, yes, he got some notes from the prison this morning. thanks a lot. say hello to louise. thanks, i will. i find it an excellent idea. -one always needs the element of surprise and up north they'd never expect any large-scale sabotage raid. perhaps we even wouldn't need local back-up. of course, the local underground will be joining us. definitely! we can never be too careful in our preparations. -yes. also, i don't think we can ignore them either. let's go. i don't see why we need local help... sure, why not? -christ, it's dark. we don't know them... did you read it? that's pure nonsense. i don't think so. -"the apple is rotten." prikken and apples, does that tell you anything? prikken... yes, damnit! he was the one that eagerly wanted to know when we hit the mayz factories. -he was also the one who called us at georg's apartment. yes, michael didn't want to tell me when you were going. let me get him! no, let me question him. very well. -i'm against going that far away from town. far away? by car it's no more than an hour. is that really so much? in town you can easily get away if something goes wrong. -out in the open fields we're all doomed. but why would it go wrong? there's always a chance of that. remember the mayz factories. michael had everything prepared. -even so the germans showed up. even so the germans came... yes. they keep a lot of snitches. yes! it may have been mayz. -he lives by the factory. it may have been him. yes, or one of the workers. or the gatekeeper. they all knew we would come, right? -yes, yes. but you see, this time... let's stick to the mayz sabotage. yes, that is all finished now. that's just what it is not. -michael has sent us a message. michael? yes. he bade us ask prikken a few questions. me? -why did you call michael to ask when the mayz sabotage was to take place? really? did i call michael? yes. i wanted in. -that very day you'd already been told you wouldn't be needed. even so you desperately wanted to know the exact time for it. why this interrogation? do you suspect me of anything? why are you nervous? -if you haven't done anything wrong, you needn't be nervous. what do you want with me? i want to know why the germans came. i don't know. i swear it, toto. -i don't know either but i'm sure that tom and the others will believe me even if i don't swear it. your story stinks. surely, you're not saying that... i... yes. -i don't deserve this from you. i've supplied you with manpower, i've provided you with ideas. i've... you don't mean to say that... -take your hand out of your pocket. certainly. i'm not interested in the details regarding the mayz sabotage but what else have you been up to? nothing. -nothing. i swear it, toto. how many have you sworn to? you're nothing but a dirty swine! you've betrayed michael. -and dreyer. and now you were after the rest of us. why can't you tell us anything about your contacts up north? do they not exist? or are they to be found at the german hq? -you can't prove anything. remember what happened to nils? yes. christian? yes. -i can be of use to you now. i can tell you a lot about what the the germans are doing. i know everything about the gestapo. i can be of use to you now. you understand? -you won't shoot me. in the name of the people, the military court of copenhagen pronounces the following verdict: the danish citizen, michael lans, born 2 february 1910 in dalsby, - is, for crimes under paragraphs 98 and 128 of the military penal code, paragraphs 3 and 5 in the additional sections of the military penal code - and paragraph 82 of the civil penal code, sentenced to death. the military court justifies its verdict accordingly: -the defendant has actively taken part in actions, - directed against the german people and its armed forces. crimes according to paragraphs 98 and 128 of the military penal code, - paragraphs three and five of the military penal code, impairment of the military strength of the german people as well as sabotage. these crimes all carry the death sentence. the defendant has also... it's your duty to die. -death is part of the job. not annihilation, not an eternal farewell. death is d-e-a-t-h. death is a friend and a condition for all new life. i had the most ingenuous idea. -i don't want to die. ruth... i need to see you again, you hear? just once. listen to your voice. -see you laughing. did you hear the verdict? yes. i am to die. dying is not hard. -i've seen so many die. it's me who has been sentenced today and nobody else. it's what i've been fighting for. it's what i've been sentenced to death for. but it won't be that easy, steinz. -it won't be that easy. they can't put freedom in front of a firing squad. freedom is in the fields, in the grass growing after rainfall and in the unfolding tree-buds. they may kill me. but freedom will always - always - be restored back to life. -always remember that, steinz! remember that! now leave. leave! then everything is real to me. -the trees, the fields, the meadows. because i have you. but if you die everything becomes meaningless. then i'm no longer a human. then the meadows no longer will be green. -then they will turn red - red from your blood. out! out! what are you reading? i'm off early tomorrow for my tuition. -you've got steady nerves. toto seems to be delayed. yes. you'll be coming along, too? i was asked to do it. -so how is he doing... prikken? one moment he's hating it, the next he's super-confident. and now he's begun telling tales to stall for time. there should be no need for that. -no. sorry i'm late. is there anything wrong? yes. i found out an hour ago. -michael and dreyer got the death penalty. the verdict will likely become public tomorrow. and i have no idea when the execution is to take place. does ruth know? no. -i was wondering if you and i... if... the two of us could go see her? yes. i'd like to go see ruth. those swine! -those damn swine! regarding the drive this evening, we'll be going right now. go get him. i'll start the car meanwhile. i don't know who is going to do it. -but now i wouldn't mind doing it myself. let me go. i'll give you 5000 - in cash. i do have the money. nobody will know. -nobody. we'll keep it a secret. right? but i haven't done anything. it's all a mistake. -you can't punish an innocent! germany will win the war! and i'll make sure that you'll get your break. and none of the others will escape with their lives. none! -none! no! i won't follow you outside! you can't make me! shoot me if you dare! -i won't follow you! i won't! just come here. oh, it's you. is it about michael? -yes. tell me then. michael has received the death penalty. it said so in a secret message. and when is it going to happen? -we don't know when. we'd like to help you. yes, i know that. anyone else? yes. -dreyer, too. dreyer also... come with us, ruth. you shouldn't be alone tonight. no. -i'd rather be alone. particularly this evening. i'll always return home. you just need to wait... and i'll be there. so this is the last stop. -you'll receive good food. and cigarettes. yes, that's just great. dreyer! dear god, that the two of us would get to meet again. -so say something! have a seat. i thought you were dead. i almost am. we are to die together then. -maybe it's easier when we're two... i haven't told them anything. not a single word. you do believe me, right? those on the outside also believe me? -well? no one disbelieves you. they tortured me. they stretched me across a tiny table, fastening my hands and feet. you have to stay like that for hours. -remember the first time we picked up explosives? yes. we sang... about montgomery and we believed in victory. believed... it wasn't so easy back then. -it was some kind of stubbornness. when they reached stalingrad, i thought everything was decided. that we'd never get from under their yoke. too bad we'll never see that day, right? yeah, too damn bad. -you know, as we sit locked in our cells i often think about how it's all coincidental. if hitler never had had any parents, there'd be no hitler. that's logical, right? yeah, damn logical. -and if he didn't surround himself with so many lunatics, there might never have been any war. then the two of us wouldn't be sitting here as saboteurs, awaiting execution. that's also old mr and mrs hitler's fault. or maybe even his grandparents. i guess there would have been a war anyway. -do you recall april 9? what were you thinking that morning? that it was hell. i just thought it would be over in a few days. i spoke with dad about doing something. -he told me to sit my exams first. yes, many parents said so. well, but it didn't help any. no. the old ones thought everything would work out but it never did. -they've never known war. the priest has arrived. do you want to see him? to hell with your priest! what time is it? -who knows? about ten, wouldn't you say? yes, thereabouts. 20 hours more to go then. why exactly twenty? -they usually execute people at six o'clock. at six o'clock? that's just as it's getting light outside. it's dawning. yes. -all the colors are bright and pure this early in the morning. do you think death is final? i don't know. if i weren't about to die soon, i'd probably believe. i believe our thoughts never die. -they exist somewhere. perhaps. what is called one's spirit can never die. michael... here they come. it looks like this is it. -thanks for being a good friend. i would have liked to visit you in munich, but i won't be making it. shall we go? those are different handcuffs, steinz. yes. -does that mean... that we... make a run for it? maybe. what about you then? i'll be going with you. -going where? to the barracks. i thought it would take place in the courtyard here. orders arrived last night. dreyer? -he'll ride in a different car. so no one can help him? no. and your chances then? this evening a letter arrived from germany. -from llse? she's dead. and the children? you'll come with me if it succeeds! no, i'll manage. -shall we leave? it's damn early. is he to be transferred? yes. it's very foggy. -mornings here are always foggy. and damn cold. come, steinz, i'll help you cross. no, i'll manage. auf wiedersehen. -goodbye, steinz. where have you come from? from prison. can i borrow your phone? are you a saboteur? -yes. but what if the germans... just say i threatened you with this. oh well, of course. there's a phone just over there. -no funny stuff. sure, just you say you forced me. yes, it's me. mi... michael! -where are you? where? i'll be right over. would you like a piece? i suppose prison grub is pretty bad. -for sure. rumours abound, you see... what time is it now? almost six. attention! -aim! fire! is he here? michael, old boy, come on. come on. -put this coat on. and ruth? she's in sweden. you are also going there this evening. toto, i don't understand. -i don't understand, toto. just come along. come. hansen? yes? -is everything ready? everything's set. have a safe journey. give my regards to ruth. we'll meet again soon. -perhaps. the end take it easy, blue boy, your supper will be here any minute. i wish i knew what was keeping that fella. dad? -daddy, i just had mr. kramer on the phone. he said dave miller stopped by 1 0 minutes ago... ...to put water in his radiator. thanks. margy. -have you finished your packing? not yet. i was just going to. i don't know what's got into you. all you do is sit around and mope. -i don't sit around and mope. well, stop moping now and finish your packing. always saying she doesn't know what's got into me. i'll be glad to get to the fair. hear something different. -see something different for a change. what has got into me, anyway? margy. yes, mother. soon as you're finished, come down and help me with the pickles. -in a minute, mother. pickles. margy. i'm coming, mother. come on, boy. -he'll win first this year, sure. he's half again the hog he was last year. you don't really expect to win, do you, with that animated lard can? say, listen, you can say anything you please about me but don't say anything bad about blue boy. that's the finest hampshire boar that ever breathed. -if you think that, then he's just as good as beat now. be better if he was third or fourth best, you'd stand a better chance. oh, what are you talking about? if a hog or a man ever got what he was entitled to, just once the eternal stars would quit making melody in their spheres. oh, there you go with that book talk again. -i say he's the best hog in the state, and the judges will say so too. they might. but if that turns out good, then something else probably happen. he might catch pneumonia or hog cholera. or you might catch pneumonia. -or something might happen to wayne or margy. mark my words, abel. there's compensation in this world. for every good, there's bad. now, ralph waldo emerson tells us-- -i don't care what waldo emerson tells us. look, i'll just make a little bet with you. on what? i'll bet you we go to the fair and blue boy will win the grand award. and nothing bad will happen to him, me or my family. -yes, and we'll all have a good time too and be better off for it... ...after the fair is over. it's a foolish bet, abel. if you'd asked me, i'd have given you 1 0-1. but you didn't ask me, so it's an even bet. -five dollars? five dollars is right. i'll be around for the money the day you get back. be around with the money, you mean. you'll see, you'll see. -yeah, i'll see. well, well, what's this? you got your chains on. you're expecting a shower? nope. -i'm expecting good weather. that's why i put my chains on, so i wouldn't be fooled. do you want your name "mrs. abel frake" or "mrs. melissa frake"? melissa frake, i guess. with your father entering blue boy the judges might get us mixed. -hog cholera. pneumonia. he left out earthquakes, the old doom-spreader. poor dad. i don't know. -let me taste. don't taste like grandma stidge's. i followed her recipe. i'll get it. you left something out. -abel frake i am not going to put liquor into my cooking. making mincemeat without brandy? no such thing. i don't approve of it, and i won't do it. well, you'll be sorry. -you know those judges at the fair... ...they like a snifter now and then. eleanor, for wayne. wayne's out back somewhere. i'll find him. -why don't you say hello to eleanor, ma. see how her mother is. they had the doctor again today. i suppose i should. find out if she's going to the fair. -yes, i will. hello, eleanor. how are you, dear? how's your mother feeling? yes, i know. -i'm sorry i couldn't get by to see her today but i've been so busy, getting ready to leave and all. oh, well, i'm glad she's better, dear. wayne'll be here any moment. hold on. and be sure to give my love to your mother. -thank you, dear. goodbye. abel? i need a good-sized box or carton. something to carry my pickles in. -know just what you want, ma. i'll get it for you right away. "a third apple, molasses, binding sugar, lemons.... two parts good brandy. " no, i won't. -eph, where's wayne? wayne? oh, he's back there in the barn. thank you, mister. and now i think i'll have a try at that fancy brass clock. -yes, that one. there we are. wayne? there's a nice string of pearls. i'll have a go. -oh, i know they're fakes, but-- wayne. what are you doing? how long you been there? oh, just a little while. -i-- why didn't you say something instead of standing there? who were you talking to? does mother know you have her embroidery hoops here? look, just leave me alone, will you? -stop prying in other people's affairs. speaking of affairs, eleanor is on the phone. eleanor? well, christmas, why didn't you tell me? eleanor's on the phone. -hello, eleanor? how are you, honey? what'd the doctor say about your mother? well, i don't know what to do, wayne. the doctor says she's a bit better, but-- -oh, but, eleanor, you've got to go. i've made a lot of plans for us. what? margy, my dear little margy, i'd make the world a ruby for your little finger, -,and say, "i love you, i love you, , i love you, " margy, you are beautiful, you are so very beautiful, margy. -hello, margy. hello, harry. no, i' m not mad. i' m just disappointed. well, i'll see you when i get back. -goodbye. gee, i wish i was going to the fair with you tonight. i'd rather be doing that than anything i know. oh, would you, harry? well, sure. -only, i can't neglect my cows. oh, of course not. say, i saw something today. what? the sweetest bit of farmland this side of davenport. -i was thinking of putting a bid in on it if you like it. if i like it? well, sure. you know i haven't made a plan since i was 1 2 years old that didn't include you. got a house on it? -yeah, but it's too old. we'd have to build a new one. oh, i like old houses. well, it wouldn't fit in with our kind of farm. you know, i plan to do everything my old man won't let me do on his place. -scientific irrigation, electric milking, separate henroosts, no horses. all tractor power. you see what i mean? everything modern. but the house you live in-- -it's gotta be the same. no old clapboard-and-shingle business. there's a new kind of plastic prefabricated job. i want you to see it. got the catalog home. -is it pretty? sure. but what's more important, it's termite-proof. wait till you see it. they tell you how to furnish it too. -no rugs or carpets. they're just dust collectors. what's on the floor? linoleum. through the whole house. -wait till you see the pictures. it's- it's slick and smooth and easy to keep clean. well, it's like every room in the house was a bathroom. sounds real cozy. -y eah, don't it, though. what i've always wanted. oh, sure. it's the only way to live. everything sanitary. -sure, and if we had children.... oh, margy. i said, if by any strange chance we had children, why, i could dress them in cellophane rompers. say, i didn't know they had-- life will be just ducky. -plastic. what's the matter, honey? oh, nothing. just restless, i guess. sure, i understand. -you like to travel. well, i figured we'd make a little trip. california or bermuda or.... if it was may, we'd go to washington, see the cherry trees. a honeymoon? -that's what. i'd almost marry you to make the trip, harry. oh, no kidding now, margy. what do you say? what do you say? -well, l- i won't say anything just now, harry. well, after the fair, maybe? maybe. look at him, marge. -holy cow. he gets bigger every time i see him. biggest boar in the world, i bet. all depends on how you spell it. eleanor can't go. -where's your mincemeat, ma? right here between my feet. is the top on tight? certainly it's on tight. why? -oh, nothing. just don't want the flavor to escape, that's all. get your place. fat man, skinny man, fire-eater, strongman. this is the biggest state.... -here you are. curious folks are always.... hello, mrs. frake. hello there. how are you? -just fine. be down as soon as we get settled. yes, do that. if wayne doesn't come back soon to take me around, i'm going by myself. i do wish your father'd come to his breakfast. -if he'd rather stay with blue boy than eat, let him. but i've got my whole day planned out. don't you know you can't plan a whole day? there's no such thing. i do it all the time. -you sound just like harry. he thinks you can plan out your whole life. so you can. is that what he was talking about yesterday? did you come to anything definite? -i'm sure i don't know what you're waiting for. it would serve you right if harry up and married that skidmore girl instead of you. i almost hope he does. me too. step right up, ladies and gentlemen. -move in a little closer. don't be afraid. hurry. hurry. try the game. -three rings for a dime and prizes worth up to $20. positively no blanks. the prize you win is the prize you get. the prize you take away. don't any gentleman want to try his skill? -ain't nobody here got the pioneer spirit? i tell you what i'm going to do i'm going to put down three nice, new, crisp $1 bills. one here, one here and one here. now, who'll spend a dime for three chances at $3? is that real money? -if you win them and don't like them i'll give you a dollar apiece for them. hey, mister, them hoops look mighty small. do they fit over those things? lots of people do it, sir. lots of people do it. -yeah, i did it last year. remember me? i won a pearl-handled revolver. well, now, there, you see? young mr. daniel boone won a revolver off me right at this very fair a year ago. -bring down any grizzly bears with that shooting iron, sonny? t ell you what i'll do with you, i'll just give you three rings on the house to start things off. three chances for nothing. i can't win, i can only lose but i love the game. remember, young man, you are enjoying the courtesy of the house. -don't cost us money. i just lost $2. but i'm having fun. i love the game. here, my boy, i want you to have a fair shake. -that ring looks warped. try this one. this one's all right. well, well, you all see how easy it is. who else wants to try? -i'll try again. here's a dime. who else wants a chance at a big prize? here, mister, here's my dime. you, sir? -you look like you've got a good aim. but you got a customer. give me three rings. here's my dime. leave him! -leave him! stop! you're playing perfectly. take advantage of his anger. what are you doing? -he doesn't need to even try for a win. you're making your team lose. make him play foul. he has already received a warning. next time, his points will be deducted. -if you keep making fouls, you'll soon be disqualified. come on now. he's doing well. he's doing well. get up! -get up! yes! come on! no! no! -stop! stop! go to your corners! go! you wretch! -you wretch! leave him. listen to me. leave him... both of you will be disqualified! -leave him! please stop them. somebody... you wretch! you rogue! -what are you doing? what are you doing? he was playing under the belt. i also gave him a lahore punch. that wretch! -you're not going to do anything. let him do it. wipe the blood... and cover the eyes. apply some vaseline. our goal is just winning. -let him make a mistake. we'll win just like that. go. come on. i had assumed that there is a difference between my player and a player like noor. -but if you have a different opinion then i have nothing else to tell you. this is the last and final warning for you. next time, you'll be disqualified. start! yes! -1. 2. 3. 4. 5... come on! are you okay? start! that's it. -keep it up, noor. yes! very good! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. you want to continue? -okay. start! 'hey, little brother... ' "... it's sports." "not war." -sir, we've won! veeru, what you've won today is far greater than any fight, medal, or tournament. today, you've conquered everyone's hearts. i'm proud of you. i'm very proud of you. -good evening, ladies and gentlemen. good evening, ladies and gentlemen. welcome to the grand finale of the quaid-e-azam kick boxing tournament which has been a high-voltage spectacular show of grit and conviction. and now, i call upon his excellency honourable minister of the interior mr. shahnawazqureshi to give away the medals. and the medal goes to qasim ali... -thank you very much. iqbal khan. thank you, sir. masoom malik. sohail raza. -and noor mohammad. thank you, sir. until now, i've been fighting for victory because i had been trained to think that my victory was entwined with my country's victory. but today, i've realised that a nation's victory is the victory that you've won today. no victory, or loss, can be more important than the life of a human being. -your brother, was not only a great sportsman but also a fine human being. today, i truly regret his demise. i'm so sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. -mr. rao, you've truly won lahore. mr. sinha we always created barriers between lahore and amritsar. but today, i can see those barriers crumbling down. this is an historic moment. what else can we say of it? -no! please! stop! no! hey, nick. -guys. don't worry. she's going to make it. hey, i saw you on tv last week, ryan. you're a real hero. -what can i say? it's not all it's cracked up to be. he saved a bunch of kids out of a burning building last week. hey, isn't that margot wilton? first lady of vegas. -she's miss philanthropy herself. she's got more buildings named after her than you can count. it's a real slash job. bedroom's a horror show. upstairs on your left. -it's a real shame. ray and i will take the bedroom. nick? i'll find out how he got in. guess i'm on the perimeter. -fresh carvings. must be what's left of the boy's face. so the intruder had to take the photographs out of the frames, obliterate the faces and then reassemble them. he certainly wasn't in any rush. key to the city. -upside down. dust. someone just did this. clean as a whistle. two carved-out faces... and an upside-down award. -it's up to us to make it right side up. blood on the bed, the headboard, wall. this is obviously where she called for help. the "9" and the "1" are covered in blood. the castoff on the wall suggests her attacker was directly over her. -two voids. consistent with someone kneeling over her... on top of her. there was no visible blood on the stairs we just came up or the hallway we just came out of. there has to be a trail somewhere. here we go. -footprint, handprint, followed by handprint, footprint. that's odd. fading as they go out these doors here. so this guy gets off the bed one hand and one foot at time. that's weird. -hey. i found the point of entry. no, no, you're a little late, buddy. i already found it. entry and exit. -looks like he cut a circular hole in the glass of the french door. guess he put it back in on his way out. i don't know why he'd do that. unless he's trying to make us think that he's never been in the house before. all the other windows i checked have been varnished shut, except this one. -see, the varnish seal has been cut. and i got fresh chips and what appears to be a dust void on the sill with a feathering pattern on either side of the void. all indicative of entry and exit. somebody has been through this window, multiple times. what is that, 12" by 12"? -that's pretty tight. i know neither one of us are getting through there. well, then, it could be we're looking for a small guy, or even a kid. yeah, or a leprechaun. or a leprechaun. -big ups to greg... he found a second entry point, but now i've got more questions than answers. how about you? here's one: woman in her 60s, vulnerable in her bed, versus a blade-wielding intruder. is she lucky to be alive or did she survive by design? -all right, now, based on the messages he left, it's obvious that he didn't approve of her key to the city. and the child in the wheelchair obviously didn't sit well with him. this all makes me think it was personal, nick. he's been in and out of her house multiple times. he could have killed her whenever he wanted to. -why tonight? i think the answer is in these messages he left. i mean, it can't be in the fingerprints, because he didn't leave any. does any of this make sense to you? no, but i bet it makes a lot of sense to him. -we need to examine the one piece of evidence the killer shouldn't have left behind. margot wilton. i think... that he was african-american. strange, uh, slippery. slippery how, was he sweating? -no. uh, more like... he was wearing gloves. the one thing that i can't get out of my head... those eyes. black holes. teeth. -teeth? braces. braces? i don't know. i'm not sure. -all right, all right, all right. did he say anything to you? no... i only heard my own screams. well... -you are a very brave woman, and now i understand why you received the key to the city. i, um, noticed in your home there were several pictures of yourself and a young boy in a wheelchair. is that your son? robbie. from my first marriage. -uh-huh. he died very young. he was so sick. i'm so sorry. looks like his spirit lived on, though. -um, i read the plaque. what did it say? uh, fortitude, fulfillment and philanthropy, was it? i did it for him. all i ever wanted to was help people. -and 50 years later, mayor goodman gave me the key to the city. ow! i'm sorry. your cuts are evidence. -don't you doctors and police ever talk to one another? wouldn't it have been a lot easier if that cute young resident hadn't stitched me up at all? well, he was just doing his job, and i'm doing mine. what's the matter, i'm not cute? not right now. -would you put your finger right here, please. say i'm cute. go to hell. you look like you just fell down a chimney. that's about the only thing i haven't printed. -i've been at this for hours. i don't have one usable print. well, you know what my papa olaf used to tell me... what's that, greg? "hojern, when the going gets rough, keep your chin up." -i was walking the perimeter, and i noticed a window above the bedroom window. this place has an attic somewhere. we know this guy has been coming in and out of here, but that's one place we haven't looked. after you. i don't do attics. -i'm dirty enough. after you. attaboy. damn, she's got a lot of awards. yeah, she's got a lot of everything. -this house is holey. what? look up. how many pinkies? i know a rat didn't do that. -not unless the rat's kinky and knows how to use a lipstick cam. he's been living up here and keeping one eye on margot wilton. hey. he's been reading her mail. these envelope lips are rippled. -it's pretty obvious they've been steamed open. you and margot have something in common. yeah, what's that? a stalker. that was a long time ago. -nick. hmm? help me with this bed. yeah. looks like they were sleeping together. -but he never touched her until last night. margot wilton's house is a bust... no fingerprints, no trace, no dna. as of right now, the guy we're chasing is forensic-proof. he'd be the first. which leads us to the hourglass of evidence. -now, normally, we collect evidence, we analyze it, it leads us to the truth, but here we have the absence of individualized evidence, so let's flip... the hourglass. the absence of evidence is evidence. and from that, we can draw certain conclusions. so the suspect went in and out of the house through a small window. so he's small. -which is consistent with the dust void under her bed. no more than five-eight. virtually spider-walked off of her bed... foot, hand, hand, foot. so we have a possible male, slight build, medium height, physically fit, younger rather than older. and maniacally patient. -he sat in the attic eating oranges, watching margot wilton for possibly weeks, even months. lying under her bed, reading her mail, invading her life without her ever knowing it. he's diabolical. so, by analyzing what's not there, we begin to fill the bottom of the hourglass, which leads us to... the truth. let's reanalyze the evidence with fresh eyes. -looks like urine. but it's not in the appropriate anatomical region. doesn't smell like urine. you know, uh, grissom would have tasted that. could be sweat. -it fluoresces the same as urine. so you're saying only his spine was sweating? spines don't have sweat glands. well, if it is sweat, then we can get epithelials. hmm. -run dna. no sweat. wish i could say i don't have a fetish, but i do. should i shut the door? amylase confirmed that the carpet stain was sweat. -dna was compromised, so it was a dead end there, but the sweat was not alone. what was with it? well, here's where the fetish comes in. found trace amounts of silicone, cyclopentasiloxane, and other components that are commonly found in latex fetish sprays. primary use is to slide on skintight latex suits. -hmm. the victim said her attacker was a black male adult who felt slippery. he was probably wearing latex. with a zipper up the back... which explains why his spine was sweating. time to get kinky. -i knew i should've shut the door. doberman head, nice. that's new. what do you mean "that's new"? you got to keep up with these things, nicky. -all sex crimes start with fantasies. when it goes from the big head to the little head, that's where we come in, you follow? i mean, you didn't think i came in here recreationally, did you? i don't know, you just referred to a dog mask in a sex shop as "nice" and "new." i had to ask. -you okay? are you? catherine! hey, i got your call. got that multispeed hoo-hah that i ordered for you. -it was hot pink, right? i'm kidding. joey's been a great resource for all my sex crimes. so... latex? -what is our suspect into? well, according to our trace tech, it's a silicone-based fetish spray. to put on latex, preferably skintight latex. it's probably full-body. okay, let's talk silicone spray. -you know, i only carry one brand. it's a pretty slow mover. i did sell a couple bottles, though, about six months ago, to a guy who, uh... oh, he custom-ordered two latex head-to-toes. head-to-toes? yeah. -it's full head gear, gloves, booties. every inch covered except for the eyes, the nose, the mouth. well, i know you keep some kind of records. oh, come on, i got more than that. i got concept drawings, i got photos. -i made the suits myself. took me a couple days, but they turned out just so great. photos? i mean, you have a picture of him? yep. -this explains the sweat stain in the dust void. he was sweating through his zipper. do you have anything with him without the mask? no. he wouldn't allow it. -that's a pretty tough ask in a place like this. sure. heterochromia. one blue eye, one brown. you got anything else on this guy? -i don't know, let me check. i remember he wouldn't leave an address, he always paid cash, but... look at that. did leave a name. ian moone. -ian moone. ian... moone. one. "i am no one." -uh, be sure to lock your doors. okay. go, mommy. car wash! yay! -it's on a timer, sweetie. sit back and relax, put your earbuds in. listen to your music. hey. it's me. -i'm at the car wash. i'm sorry i couldn't get away earlier to talk, but... yeah. how's my mr. everything? look, dolly, it's a bubble bath! -really? okay. you know i will. i always do. i will make it happen. -i always do. i need to see you. no, i need to see all of you. help me! help! -what do you think the "a" stands for? are you sure it was just the mother and daughter in the car? yeah, just the two, ma'am. well, if they were alone in a locked car, how the hell did this happen, greg? catherine? -got blood back here. mostly smears. well, i've got half of a bloody hand impression. so do i. well, it appears that there was no blood on him as he went to kill her, but he definitely left traces of her blood as he was backing out. -blood transfer on the hatch release. carpet's bone-dry. he had to be in the car before it went through the wash. spare tire compartment. no tire. -is it possible that the same guy who crawled through the bathroom window fit into a space like this? well, if he was here, where did he go? and how did he get away without being seen? 425a! suspect on the premises! -greg, flashlight. damn it! who turned on the water? shut it down! alise... -i know you don't want to talk to anybody, and i know you're scared, but i'm a policeman and i'm trying to do my job, so, i thought maybe we'd play a little game. maybe... if you let me, i'll talk to your doll. would that be okay? -great. thank you. hello, doll. my name is james. i'm trying to help alise out of a tough spot. -so can you tell me, was anyone else in the car with alise and her mom? no, huh? you know, i want to believe you, but, uh, there had to be somebody. maybe you just didn't see him? maybe you... and alise were watching the car wash? -yeah. well, let me ask you is there... is there anything that you could tell me that would help me catch the man that hurt alise's mom? you can even whisper it, if you want. it's okay. whisper it in my ear. -excuse me? could you say that again? sqwee... gel. where is she? alise! -daddy! oh, baby. oh, my baby. oh, my baby. oh, my girl. -my girl. do you know anyone who would want to harm your wife? actually, yes. really? explain that. -my wife, uh... she was recently appointed to the family values committee in, uh, clark county. she got there because she... she single-handedly went up against these... these big video game companies and banned the sale of, uh, vehicular manslaughter and all those other violent first-person games, to minors. minors. kids. -did she receive any, uh, crank calls or hate mail, death threats? much more than that. really? someone broke into our home. i was at work. -alise was at day care. uh, hey, doc? this guy, he put my wife in the hospital. okay? he cut her up real bad. -most recent was a few hours ago. the first attack was probably no more than a few weeks ago. both are sharp-force injuries. what's your guess on weapon of choice? could be a box cutter. -maybe a straight razor. ray. hey. c.o.d. is sharp-force injuries to the neck. severed the carotid. -all the other wounds are defensive. some old... some new. i had a conversation with my gut on the way down here. i just want to see if my suspicions are correct. we have... identical wounds, similar in length, double-edged blade. -that means whoever attacked margot wilton... killed carrie jones. i need to see what was under her bed. dust void. well, he was definitely here. sqweegel. -that's the name the little girl gave the killer. she was in the car at the car wash when her mother was killed. now, i'm guessing is, "sqweegel" is the sound that the mops make as they go back and forth across the windshield. sqweegel, you know? yeah. -traumatic memory image. oh, i got traumatic memory image for you. deja vu. this is margot wilton's place all over again. you got same m.o., jimmied bathroom window, multiple entries and exits... -i bet if we all look up, we'll find a hole with a lipstick cam in it, no prints, no dna. there it is. i'm on it. got something here. ray, get a shot of this. -uh-huh. the letter "a." just like the car wash. lucky for you, i hate my husband. i'll take football over car insurance any day. -car insurance. mr. jones... what do you do for a living? turn it off. just turn it off, please. very well. -i can't imagine how difficult this must be for you, mr. jones, but unfortunately, i do have to ask you another question. now, we found this, uh... dvd under your bed. -now, did you hire a p. i. to follow your wife? well, why would i do that? you tell me. she's the chair of the family values committee. her whole life has been about the truth, honesty and morality. -that's what he meant. what are you talking about? that's what he meant. when carrie was attacked, she told the police, she said, that animal, he kept saying to her... "i know. -confess." she said she didn't know what her attacker was talking about... i think she did. that "scarlet letter" on the windshield can only mean one thing. well, she had a dirty little secret. -she was a party girl, cheating on her husband who didn't have a clue. but sqweegel did. now, he attacked carrie two weeks ago, didn't kill her, leaves her alive with the message, "i know. confess." -gave her a chance to repent. i guess she didn't, because he killed her in the car wash. my thought is, he gave margot wilton the chance to repent as well, and if she hasn't, her life's still in danger. i have lived there for 45 years, and i want to go home. the department has the resources to put you in a hotel -and provide round- the-clock security. i don't want to go to a hotel. with a bunch of strangers next to me? chances of that guy coming back are a million to one. you weren't his only victim. -gentlemen, this is an unauthorized interview. you're compromising mrs. wilton's right to counsel, not to mention her freedom of movement. need i remind you... she's a victim, not a suspect. oscar, we're just trying to keep her safe, that's all. oh, jim, quit with the fear tactics. -no fear tactics, mayor goodman. we have every reason to believe that the first attack was a warning. i'll take my chances. please take me home. jim, i need a minute with her. -all right. oscar. i need to talk to you privately, please. over here. yes? -i just need one minute. "i know. confess." your attacker said the same thing to a young mother. two weeks ago, he attacked her at home, gave her a warning, now she's dead. -what does he want you to confess, margot? what does he know that you're not telling us? does it have something to do with your son or the key to the city? your minute's up. if you so much knock on that door, -i'll have you in court tomorrow on harassment. pardon my bark; she's a friend. go over my head, and i'll kill you. no. no. -no! looking for your letters? what's going on, akers? got a call about an abandoned vehicle. one of our guys ran the plates and it came back to one of ours. -yeah? whose is it? ryan fink. you know that hero paramedic who saved all those kids? yeah, yeah, i know who that is. -this is the car the city gave him for saving the kids. it's locked up. looks like i got some blood. hand me your stick. exigent circumstances. -watch yourself. this is not the kind of situation where you just stand by and wait, okay? we gotta go in. help me out here. give me the green light. -okay. i'll stand by and wait. i just found blood all over ryan fink's car, enough to presume he's dead. carrie jones, ryan fink, margot wilton... all three honored by the city and now two of them are dead. i guarantee you she's next. -the whole team's right behind me. let's go in. what do you want from me? i think you know. i don't know anything. -you know everything. i read your letters. i heard your phone calls. i even watched while you slept. i know why you toss and turn at night. -it's hard to be still in robbie's nightmare. he was my baby. he was so sick, he was in pain. he'd cry, every night, in his chair. he was trapped and so was i. -tell me about the pool. how your son's death was an act of mercy. a mother's love. oh, you bastard. you don't know the whole story. -i know everything! all right! all right, i know that you know. but you have to understand, my son was dying. say it. -robbie drowned... and it was not an accident. i killed him. i murdered my son, 'cause i believed in my heart that it was the right thing to do. mrs. wilton? are you hurt? -i shot him. which way'd he go? i don't know. i shot him. five shots, no blood? -the case mouths are crimped. he replaced her real ammo with blanks. this guy thought of everything. mitch, get her out of here. nick, check upstairs. -the rest of you, on me. let's go find this bastard. let's go. lady, we've got to get out of here now. no! -my letters! my letters! ray? it's all right. tache noir. -the exposed sclera has gone black. he's got a little bit of a stench coming off of him, so he's been dead for a couple of hours. how can that be? that's ryan fink. the paramedic? -yep. you see the scars? attacked first, then killed. just like carrie jones. phew. -margot wilton was lucky. that's why he bought two suits. but why put them under the bed? i think our answer is in the wind. i hope i have the courage to send you this letter. -because you're his father, i owe you the truth about our son. robbie begged me to end his suffering. he was failing, more and more each day. i can't. -you can if you love me. i did a terrible thing. i just stood there... watching him. i'll never forgive myself. it's no wonder she insisted on going back to her house. -she needed to get the letters. that was her secret. i got a call from the fire chief. some tipsters have been calling the fire department hotline. there's evidence this guy fink had been setting fires to make himself look like a hero. -that's his secret. and the biggest secret of all, who is lan moone? i am no one. dance of the sugar-plum fairy") good evening, madam, sir. -doctor freud. good evening. hello, ladies. hello, darling. i haven't seen you for ages. -oh, sorry! oh! merry christmas dearest father. max, put it out! please don't tell on me, mary. -just look at her! you've burned the whole dress. and now you've made me lose my pen. ach, i am late again. hurry! -mary and max will be waiting. ha! father, look at my fairy's new gown! mm. now, we can't wait any longer. -what about uncle albert?

almost ready. -your mother is on her way down. is uncle albert here? louise, we really need to get going. do you have to, mother? we went over this, mary. -but it's christmas, and everyone should be together, and uncle albert will be disappointed. not as disappointed as i am, but i told you it's an honour to be asked to sing at the palace ball. yes, but... imagine the guests i'll sing for. try and calm yourself, louise. -i'd better go to the little girls' room. such a beautiful city, don't you think? don't feel pressured to answer. it was a rhetorical question. but you know, i have the strangest feeling that we are being followed. -i'd better check. hm. we are not being followed. now i'm a little disappointed. we've been waiting and waiting! -ah, i'm sorry, my max. merry christmas! ah! merry christmas, you two. are you leaving already? -is christmas over? did i miss it? i asked you to be here at five. i don't carry a watch. it inspires conformity. -don't keep the children up with your fairy tales. speaking of fairy tales, will doctor freud be at the festivities? i certainly hope not. what's the matter, sweetheart? i wanted you to help me make them stay. -but you weren't here. well, i doubt i could have done any better than you. but i'm very sorry. i hope you will let me make it up to you. whoa! -where d'you want it, boss?

because he's a chimpanzee? -exactly. max, go ahead, give it a twist. wow! "dance of the sugar-plum fairy") ahhh! -ha ha ha ha! who's the fat guy? shh! you'll hurt his feelings. that's tinker. -he's very sensitive about his weight. well, i'm sure he just needs someone to play with. ja, that's his job. sticks. he's a most promising young drummer. -but he plays so loud sometimes, he drives tinker crazy. last one. oh, thank you, uncle! oh, you're welcome. all right, children, supper time! -wait a moment, wait a moment. i have something else to show you. that means you too, herr... professor. mary and max, meet the nutcracker. -i call him nc for short. but watch out. they say he is the most wanted doll in town. who by? i would tell you, but then i would have to kill you. -right. party advance to the kitchen. left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right. ah-ah-ah-ah. not until you have tied up all your loose ends, mein kapitän. -goodness, what a fruitcake! and i don't mean frau eva. are you coming, mary? i want my nutcracker first. max! -how dare you? ! mary! mary, let me see. he broke him, look. -it's all right, darling. it's not so bad. here it is. he always breaks everything. fortunately, i always come prepared. -mm. it's just a stupid toy! no, it's not! tell him, uncle. come down here, max. -ma-a-ax? mary is right, max. what is just a toy for you may be a real friend for someone else. it just depends on your imagination. in fact, i have a theory about it. -you have a theory about everything. ja. it's called "relativity". would you like to hear it? sounds hard. -nein. the hardest thing in the world to understand is income tax. this... is a piece of strudel. # if you're with someone tall # truly vast, unsurpassed, built to last -# they will think you're small # never mind after all # when you meet a petite, short and sweet # they will think you're tall # up is down take is give -# in is out whisper, shout # there's no doubt it's all relative # who's to say what # is or is not?

-i mean, i've been waiting for someone who believed like you. you're really special. you could imagine that i'm really alive! that i can move and think and act and... i have to act. -and now! i need a plan. you know, you remind me of someone, but i can't think of who. not you, too? someone very familiar, very famous. -yes. napoleon. i hate this hat. so why don't you take it off? because this hat is carved together with my head. -by the way, it's the first time i've seen a napoleon nutcracker. please don't call me nutcracker. i hate that name as well. call me nc. what? -mc? no, nc. n... c. mary! -quick! are you all right? what happened? i was fast asleep, dreaming, and... kerboom! -oh! my pillows, well... just... they exploded. exploding pillows? -wait a minute. i thought i heard voices. spontaneous combustion. that's the name for it. didn't it ever happen to you? -yeah. when i was younger, a boy moved to my town. and he was so handsome. mm! mm! -i thought he was going to propose to me. ohhh... maybe you can tell me in the morning. what am i thinking? we'll tidy up... -good night. ...in the morning. see you in the morning. ohhh, good night. good night. -ok. phew! she would have dropped dead if she saw me. and we don't want that. and that's on a good night. -you're a pretty good liar. i'm impressed. me? i never lie. no? -then what was that about exploding pillows? i was merely being economical with the truth, and that's altogether different. they did explode! i just simply didn't say why. that's it! -i've got a plan. i have to speak to my friends in the doll's house. you mean they're alive? of course! all dolls are alive. -so, what's the plan? oh, it needn't concern you. girls are no good at military strategy. where are you going? i told you. -to the doll's house. wait. i have to get dressed first. i don't have time! how ungrateful men can be. -grrrrrr! it's appalling, that's what it is. i can't believe you're a friend of uncle albert's. ok, i'm sorry. you're right. -get dressed, then. oh, wait a second. you didn't see any rats down there, did you? rats? in our house? -my father wouldn't stand for it. phew. you should see what they can do to a chunk of wood. you might find it a little changed. are you ready? -yes, i'm ready. i've never seen anything so big. where's the ceiling? the roof? is this real? -if you believe in it, it's real. come on. did we get smaller or did the room get bigger? if you don't mind me saying, that's a naive question. have you already forgotten what uncle albert said? -"everything is relative." come on! let's go! every toy you hung on the tree is now alive. the gnomes, the soldiers. -even the snowflakes! quiet! be quiet! be quiet! oh, my head! -ooh, i'll have some chocolate. be quiet! quiet! can't leave them alone for a minute. come on. -oof. let's pull it together. one... two... three. run! just be quiet. -you're all driving me crazy, man! what is going on? ! the front of the house has just disappeared. come down here, you lot! -this takes the biscuit. your behaviour is unbelievable! what do you expect from people living in such conditions? there's no privacy, it's two in the morning, and there wasn't meant to be any noise after 11 o'clock. be quiet! -i have to file a complaint. this house hasn't been refurbished for 30 years. there's so much poussière... dust... that i've developed an allergy. tinker, one more word...! -gielgud... your highness, i have no excuse for my terrible behaviour. but, in my defence, i was getting one of my migraines at the time, and i was reduced to this. and he's still drumming! it looks, your highness, as if you have a plan. -yes, i do. what we need to do is... i shall never speak again, but i have to say one thing. what? ! -uncle albert kept this house in his dusty attic for 30 years. all of a sudden, it's his most valuable possession. i've rarely heard of anything more cynical. how dare you criticise uncle albert like that? ! -i like it. uncle albert call me sticks. maybe your highness should introduce us to his charming companion? what? oh, sorry, yes. -allow me to present our new owner, mary. mary is uncle albert's niece. this is gielgud, tinker, and sticks. hi. my closest friends. -the pleasure is all mine. an honour. right. the plan is this. we're going in to fight against the rat king. -if he's coming, i'm certainly not. we're not gonna miss you, man. hold it! no-one is going anywhere yet. sticks, go up the tree and see if the snow fairy is up there. -erm... no, i'll go myself. wait. you're not going up the christmas tree without me? you'll have more fun if you stay with us. -i'll teach you some drumming. oh, don't listen to him. he's the least reliable person i know. hmph! your highness, it would be my pleasure to give you a lift. -i hope you have a head for heights. i certainly don't. wow! after you. all aboard? -your highness! say hello to your godmother from me! no problem! why do they call you "your highness"? oh, er, no real reason. -just something they do. the cherubim and seraphim! i hung them myself. hi. "russian dance") -your royal highness! merry christmas to you! hey! hey! merry christmas! -mary, you're very pretty. why, thank you. mother. i've been waiting for you. what took you so long? -i had to deal with the others. everything is chaos down there. what do you expect? they haven't been wound up for years. i want to thank your friend mary here for my wonderful new gown. -perhaps it needs a little tuck here, to have a better shape? let me see. that's better. you know, you look exactly like my mother. but i'm not. -you're the snow fairy, aren't you? who else would i be? can i talk to you for a minute? shhhhh. don't be frightened. -aren't they beautiful? oh, yes! you can join the dance if you like. but i can't fly. how do you know if you've never tried? -you can do it. get on with it! go on! "waltz of the snowflakes") come on, mary, follow us. -oh, i can fly! i can fly! like i've always dreamt. snow's coming. ooh. -ladies! that was wonderful! bye! oh! oh, i can't believe i flew. -well, you can do something even more amazing. like what? there is something i want to tell you. about nc. he is not like the others. -that terrible creature, the rat queen, cast him under a bad spell. she's so awful, i can barely bring myself to say her name. rat queen. but with you here, mary, we might just have a chance to defeat her. # how do you face the world? -# cucumber cool or more frantic? # do you take the view # things you say and do # never mean a bean when the world is so gigantic? # how do you see yourself? -# tough as old boots or romantic? # is each day a new beginning? # have you got a fight worth winning? # you can guess, yes and yes for you're special and unique # do you believe anything is possible? -yes. then take his hand. # don't look down # don't be afraid to touch a star # no matter how far, no matter how bright -# your dreams will take flight with beauty and power # nc? is it happening? you're a boy. not just a boy! -a prince! wow. you did it. you believed. and you released him from the rat queen's sorcery. -now i can go to my city, and people can see me. now i have a plan. i'm going straight back to my kingdom. no, maybe i should wait. you really are an ungrateful person. -the least you could do is ask her for a dance. # feel the power flowing # keep the magic going # young and old are growing # through the power known as love... # -it's the prince, all right. i'd recognise him anywhere. so, he's alive. and he's dancing with the blonde. we gotta go tell the king. -let's get outta here. as for the music, it's terrible! it's a long way up, and we're going right to the top. it's so beautiful. see that cloud there? -it was my city... before the rat king took it from me. his mother turned me into a wooden nutcracker, and then he released his army into the city centre, scaring all of my people, on a beautiful spring day. well, hopefully, she'll come round tomorrow. why is there a black cloud? -the rat king is frightened of the sun. so he has to burn everything in a smoke factory, including all the children's toys, just to keep that cloud going. bring the next case. move it! come on! -something juicy, i hope. we caught them trying to blow up the palace, your majesty. sabotage? in my kingdom? aren't you ashamed of trying to harm your king? -i see no king. i beg your pardon? you can turn our prince into wood, and turn us into your slaves, but you'll never be more than a mangy, dirty rat to us. such a pity. it's all so unnecessary. -as someone who abhors violence... here. so hard-headed, you humans. aaaargh! # they had their chance -# but humans just couldn't do it # ran the world so badly # that they blew it # far too bright and breezy # far too free and easy -# freedom makes me queasy # now's the rat time for their fall # two, three four! # welcome to a stygian era # darkness wherein rodents see much clearer -# days eliminated # sunlight's overrated # discipline created rat-wing policies for all # so humans, sunshine, light we can't stand them # rattus rules quod erat demonstrandum -# glorious and gloomy # destiny runs through me # and the lights go out # the lights go out # the lights go out! -# genius! yes, a masterpiece, huh? come, come, come. you the man! -way to go, boss! please, you are too kind. and i'll let you in on a little ratty secret, my greasy, terrorist little friend. soon, only us rats will be left, and we'll have an empire that will last... a thousand years! oooh! -sorry. too long. lousy brakes. ahh! my loyal bat rats. -what news? nothing special. no big deal. what news? i haven't time for games. -your favourite prince is still alive, sir. i knew it. grrr. oooh. i'm... so scared -maybe i should run into a hole... and hide. take them to the smoke factory! i knew it! i knew it! the prince is alive! -zip it, baldy. move it. he's alive! ow! get my wig, quick! -quick. any idiot can face a crisis. day-to-day living that wears you down. oh, mother! mother! -oh, it's only you. mother. you appear to be slipping, old gal. your spell on the prince is broken. he's alive. -alive! if the other humans find out, my dreams will be shattered. i see his stupid face laughing at me. what am i going to do? turn up your hearing aid, for crying out loud! -do you want to ratify the world or not? come to momma. closer. be a rat! i'll put a new high-grade curse on that little runt, and then maybe one of your stupid soldiers can grab him! -you bit me! oh, you bit me! get out! make it stick the next time, will you? i need to build up my strength. -a little rat juice. must be that meddling snow fairy. little cutesy bore! welcome to paradise. come on. -over there. you said the rat king was frightened of the sunlight. mm-hm. so why don't you just shut down the smoke factory? that's it! -fantastic! maybe some girls are good at military strategy. oh, this is good. what's happening? ! -the spell's back on. how did they find out? i'm coming. hold on. mary! -what is it? why aren't you in bed? i have to save him! what, max? no, not max. -nc. my tree. what on earth is going on here? frau eva? frau eva! -coming! did i oversleep? oh, you're safe, you're safe. would you care to explain this? erm... -well... well, sir, i saw the exploding pillows, but this? mary? exploded? pillows? -that was before. listen, please. i tried to tell you. the king of the rats is afraid of the prince... rats? -! and the tree was chewed down by his rat dogs. joseph, do something. i'm going to faint. don't be ridiculous, louise. -there are no rats in this house. you're meant to be in charge. but what with that brandy glow, it's no wonder you see exploding pillows. what's going on? you, get in here! -ow! look what you've done. i didn't do anything! he didn't do anything. i told you, it was the rats! -i think i see one! louise, please! max never left the nursery. this i am sure of. let me go! -all right! enough! everybody, get to bed. children. louise, come down from there. -tomorrow, i want real answers, young lady. hurry, back to bed, children. hurry. so this tree was 200 feet tall and reached all the way up to the stars? i told you. -the ceiling was gone. the ornaments danced, you flew, and then the tree came crashing down? it must have been wonderful. louise, even max doesn't believe her. do you, max? -not a word. perhaps you'd like to show us? make this room grow before our eyes. i can't. i don't have the power. -then maybe you'd like to explain how this tree got sawed through? because they have steel teeth. a bit of fun is one thing, mary, but quite blatantly lying is another. now... give me that doll. you can't have him. -ever. and i'm not lying. i never do. joseph, listen. do you remember what doctor freud told us about child psychology and dreams? -please, can i have one morning without that quack being dragged into everything? where are you going? i don't want you to see me cry. nobody's listening. not even trying. -# they simply say # come what may # i'm lying # but on reflection # i'm simply different -# one of a kind, i don't mind # i'm happy here # here with my secrets # here with my passion # dreams become real and i feel i'm wanted -# here i am braver # i won't surrender # safe in my world # and it's all i need # you know, i have the strangest feeling that something is wrong at mary's house. -i'd better check. i didn't do anything! i swear! thank god you're here. he won't admit to anything. -i want to talk to you. please help me. quiet! happy christmas, joseph. is everything all right? -uncle, a quiet word in my study. of course. alone. what i have to say isn't easy. if you're discussing our children, i have the right to be here. -mary has become unmanageable, and, uncle, i'm sorry but it's more than a little bit your fault. you think so? you do nothing but fill her head with fairy stories. dolls with souls? she's living in a fantasy world. -she has a wonderful imagination. i know. mary's a very special girl. we all know that. but she must be prepared for the real world. -reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. nevertheless, i'm sorry you feel this way. the only solution that i can see... is for you to stop coming here. if that's what you wish. -i'm afraid it is. when you leave, please will you take the doll's house away with you? i see. tell me one thing before i go, joseph. what is in your pockets? -pockets? mm-hm. what's in your pockets? i've no idea. has it really been so long since you've been a child? -don't you remember? # there was a boy # whose pocket # contained one special treasure # a precious pebble worth much more than any diamond -# holding the pebble, he was king # but then one day, disaster # mishap beyond all measure # the pebble vanished whether lost or strayed or stolen # the boy felt that he'd lost everything -# distraught, he used every last resort # he searched long and hard # in short, he failed # and how he cried # his dreams had died -# his enchanted world forsaken # but sadder yet the young forget # and all too soon his life was overtaken # by grownup toys by grownup joys # he grew serious and grand -# and that stone, left alone # abandoned on the sands of childhood # that was joseph. and he was just a year older than mary is now. you should have seen my pirate ship. -i made it all by myself. why so sad? he misses his pebble. don't you wish you had it back? here. -i saved it for you. i'm so glad i didn't leave the house without my lucky pebbles. i'm not going to sit here waiting for the rat king to come and find me. he has spies everywhere! we can go and find the snow fairy, get the spell taken off. -what, for another 25 minutes? no, thanks. that old rat witch is not retiring any time soon. she's getting stronger. we've got to stop her! -in that case, i'm coming with you. only... what's going on? max! you're a soldier. -what rank are you? captain. captain max! do you want to join the fight against the rat kingdom? yes! -good, because we need some real fighters to defeat the rat king. there's a real rat king? you didn't believe me. you didn't believe your sister? mm-mm! -oh! no. now, are there any weapons that aren't broken? what are you doing? what? -come on. done. good work, captain. now, get yourselves ready for the journey. where are we going? -to the kingdom. do you have motorbikes in your army? he's not coming. you can come on one condition. that you promise not to break any more toys. -agreed, captain? sure. that's easy. all right, then. get dressed. -i'll go ahead and wake the boys. hey, sleepyheads! rise and shine! what's this? whoa! -whoa! arghhh! whaaa! argh! nc! -hey, guys! max, come on! nc! where are you? you can't go without me. -mary! i found your pen! nc! nc! where are you? -over here. here. where? in the chimney. here. -it's too dark. i can't see anything. give me your hand. wow. ah, here is the young max. -this is the fine fellow who broke my nutcracker's jaw. it's the rat king. he doesn't look so scary. me? ! -not in the teeniest bit. in fact, i only came to ask you to play with my toys. hm? play something for the kiddies, drummer boy. something snappy. -boom chicka-chicka boom. nothing funny. move! does that jar anything loose? hm? -you call that music? you seem to have forgotten that all toys have a breaking point and you've reached yours! whoo! catch! no, max! -put it back! you might feel a little light-headed at first. don't worry. i won't neglect you, you little wooden brat. oh, no! -oh, no, you couldn't be happy cracking nuts. ingratitude. ha! open your mouth, prince. oh, yes! -yes! leave him alone! leave him alone! like a good little prince. i'm not afraid of you. -yes? or? wow! can you do that again, please? max, my, er... friend, er... your sister has to learn some... manners. -you ever wonder what happens to a doll's soul when it burns? no. perhaps now's a good time to start. toss them in the trap, and then take them to the smoke factory. come on, move. -no! wait! stop! let them go! or what? -i'll call my father. father? you can't even convince the man we're real. where does it go? rat world. -we even have a special rat bike for you to ride. a rat bike? with a motor? max, come back! i'll be right back, mary. -promise. come, take my hand. max, don't even think about it! no, wait! traitor! -wow! look at these machine guns! awesome hardware! wow! this is amazing. -it's just unbelievable. wow. can i drive? anything for boys who break toys. enjoy the bonfire! -i'll watch the sky for your smoke! get the rope and be ready. look! look! the rat king is going to the palace. -gielgud? yes, ma'am. he's gone. they're all gone. i tried to protect him. -they just knocked me down. your house... it has an attic, i presume. yes. and in this attic, there is a mirror? -yes. then we may just be able to find his highness after all. nc, what should i do to stay alive? keep calm. we can do this. -now block the rear view. and me? get the rope. oof! hey! -hey, let me go! let me go! on my signal, hit the brakes! all right, lock 'em up! yes, sir! -let's get out of here. ok, stay here, guys. i'll go first. ah. here it is. -just a mirror. here, help me with this. mind your toes. ah, yes. hm. -no, no. not just any mirror. how do you do that?

we've stepped through into the prince's city. stay close, miss. this looks familiar. -yes, miss. stop! hey, stop! stop! wait right there! -come back here! now, wait a second, where did they go? huh. toys. huh?

-more to the point, what did that little monster do with my mother? to the palace! to the palace! come on! this is the moment when oh-so-sensitive humans usually quote something. -that is the question." you're not unintelligent, for a rat. oh, please! oh, my god! uh-oh. -get in! i was looking for you, you old hag! max! we were just warming it up for you. not that you deserve anything, running out on me like that. -keep going. where are we?

much better. good. i hope you don't mind, but i brought someone along. he's a little shy. -are you ready? mary, i would like you to meet my new neighbour, nicholas charles. good morning, good morning, good morning. you know, last night i suddenly realised that everything is not relative. it all depends on the motion of the observer. -they call me nc for short. look what i have. my father's magic pebble. tonight on "fact or faked: paranormal files"... -whoa! whoa! what? ! we asked him if he was a good ghost or a bad ghost. -...and the head were up out of the water. what? guys, i just found something. i'm not sure what it is. but this thing is huge. -this is weird! that sends chills down my spine. hey, we just found some bones! oh, my god! oh, my goodness! -there's a flying saucer. i'm getting a series of lights right there. oh, my god! what the heck is that? hey, you guys ready this morning? -yeah. of course we are. ready. who we got first today? i've got a case. -this has to be one of my favorite cases of all time. every other case combined. doesn't equal the amount of evidence as this one case. this is the ghost-writer case. for over 20 years, in this home, -residents have been getting communication. via writing that appears on polaroids. they load fresh film, they ask a question, take a photo, boom. the words appear. -it's ghost writing. i've heard of this. yeah. it's a case that's got a lot of coverage. yeah. -let's play this tape. all right. and you can see the whole process. sounds creepy. and we pull out... -a brand-new, fresh thing of film. we load it in. we close it up. did you die in this house? and here's the photograph. -it just came out of the camera. and let's see what happens. it looks like it says "corpus delicti." "corpus delicti. " huh. -which, in translation, means? they'll translate it for you. okay. "the basic element of a crime, as in murder... the death of a murdered person. " -hmm. that sends chills down my spine. have they ever checked the police reports. to see if anybody in that house had been murdered? they have checked records, -and there's no record of a murder in that house. i don't know, bill. i'm looking at these polaroids, and i just feel like this could easily be done. you can expose this film prior and get these results. -maybe so, but they weren't buying the polaroids or the cameras. they had people bringing them over to their house. and taking their pictures. it ended up becoming where. -they had ghost-writing parties every halloween. well, you've sold me. i really like this case. sounds really exciting. i can already think of ways. -that i can start testing to get these results. let's move on. chi-lan, what do you have next for us? all right, guys. you guys are gonna love this. -i have a case from california, as well, but mine is from sacramento. now, joe hansen and his wife were walking their dog. in november 2008, and all of a sudden, they saw some lights pulsing in the sky. -take a look. this was in the news. that's right. it was reported in the media and the papers. ooh, it just disappeared! -whoa! whoa! what? ! and it's almost as if. -it leaves a residue when you watch the stuff drop down. well, then, that makes me think it's more chemical. it looks like it's attached to something, like there's a stem coming out of it. if it was a hoax, maybe it's a rod. -i'm not sure. you can't even tell we're looking at the sky. i mean, we just see a black background and a light. who's to say that it isn't. somebody holding a flare out there and just letting it drip? -if this is all the video is, i don't think we have much to go on. but i don't know. let's keep it in the back of our minds and move on. i actually got a great poltergeist video. -this video has close to a million hits online. this guy had been hearing... sounds, bangs coming from the ceiling of his home. he had noticed various items. were getting thrown across rooms, -and so he set up cameras one time when he was leaving. this is what he captured. so, take a look. all right. that's creepy. -is he off in the corner actually throwing the stuff around. and pulling these drawers open with fishing line? there are many theories on how this could be hoaxed. but at the same time, what if it is a real poltergeist, and what is it supposed to look like? -in fact, there are several people. who have posted explanation videos. as to how he did this, and they pointed out certain parts. where there are reflections of objects. -or people dressed in green-screen suits, and he takes the videos down right away. so there's a lot of speculation. that, yes, this has been faked. i would love to investigate a poltergeist video, -but i just feel like the credibility of this specific one. is really in question for me. so, for me, i'd have to pass on this video. i agree. let's choose one that possibly. -has a better chance of being real. okay, austin. all right, guys. i'm going cryptozoological bory. edyon. -a fnydyiaamilbor thamhe t loch ness monster, or "nessie"? of course. this is basically pennsylvania's version. of the loch ness monster. i wish more than anything i had actual footage. -however, i don't. i only have a photo. take a look. what do you guys think? looking at togs he, phot it could easily have been faked. -did you speak to any eyewitnesses? numerous eyewitnesses. from all over the world that travel to the lake. claim to have seen the same exact creature, and i've personally spoke with two different witnesses. -from different locations. that saw it years apart from each other. and described basically the same thing. the famous loch ness is supposedly a plesiosaurus. that, you know, lived through the ice ages. -and made it to today's time. are we looking at one of those here, or maybe is it an eel, a large sea snake? highly unlikely. that a plesiosaur is living in a man-made lake, -but i would be very open to the possibility. there might be some type of large eel-like creature. or something out there. now, based on this photo, how big do they estimate this sea creature to be? -you know what? they've been saying it's excess of 20 feet. and it's actually not that big, considering the drastic size of the lake. the lake is up to 200 feet deep at parts. -and is over 30 miles long. i really like this photo. it's not much that you're bringing to us. i think chi-lan makes a great point. this could be easily faked, -but when you combine it with the credible witnesses. it sounds like you've spoken to. who have claimed to see this thing, i think we might have something here. i have a lot of good ideas for great ways. -to replicate this without using trick photography. has anyone ever gone into the lake. and gone searching for this sea creature? not that i know of. so, i think we should keep this as a definite contender. -let's see what else we have today. i have a video from north carolina. this occurrence happened in may of 2009, so it's pretty fresh. and it's a guy who was driving on a road in charlotte. -that's known for having strange activities happening. he was in the front seat, and he was filming. this is what it looks like. oh, goodness. yeah, you see it right there. -i always have an issue. why would somebody just be filming out the windshield? can you advance it just to where it appears. in the middle of the frame? all right. -guys, i need to cry foul on this one. it's a composite. in my opinion, this is a digital effect. there's two videos here. one, there was a passenger, -somebody videotaping from the inside of the car. as it's going down the road, and there's a second video. of a person jumping across the road. so, this is an actual person. mm-hmm. -they did a composite, and they did a digital smear. it's fake. you can see the dissolve. it's a person. i think i'm satisfied with that. -i don't think there's really any need. to look further into this one. sorry, jael. now let's go back to the videos that we reviewed today. i love the ghost-writing case, bill. -i think it's awesome. i think it's definitely decided. ghost writer is a must. so, bill, why don't you take chi-lan and larry. and head on out there? -i love the raystown ray story. raystown. okay. so, i'll take austin. and, jael, you want to do some diving with me? -absolutely. well, let's head out. all right. let's do it. coming up on "fact or faked: -paranormal files"... we've seen this black, shiny something or other. submerged again. right here is where. the dead body is supposed to be buried. -this is weird! oh! residents have been getting communication. via writing that appears on polaroids. it's ghost writing. -ghost writer is a must. there are numerous eyewitnesses. from all over the world. that claim to have seen the same creature. raystown. -okay. oh, man. you guys see that view? looks like the same exact place. where they took the photograph from. -in fact, got it right here. you can see right off the point there. we're looking straight at it. same angle and everything. the guy who took this photograph. -still wanted to remain anonymous, so we're not able to talk to him. we've got some witnesses coming. who have actually seen very siiar things in the lake. john? -hi. yes. how are you? good to see you. nice to see you. -i hear you got a great story to tell us about ray. yeah, we were on a boat ride about 16 years ago, and we seen a bunch of bubbles surface to the water. to the left of us. and after we seen the bubbles, -we seen this big, black, shiny something or other. just surface, twisted, and just submerged again. were you able to make out a color or a texture, even? it looked black and shiny. texture -- you know, it seemed. -like it was something of a fish scale. or something like that. when we seen it, we didn't know that there was this "creature" in the water called raystown ray until about a year later. so, you'd never heard anybody else talk about it? -you'd never heard anything about this thing? no. nothing at all. sounds like you guys saw something, like, incredible. well, we were down here wiping the jet skis off. -and there was a boat that was coming in, and we saw this thing. that was, like, striding along the water. like, it had, like -- the neck and the head were up out of the water. -we watched it for probably about two or three minutes, just stunned, and then it went down in the water, and we didn't get a chance to get any pictures or anything. now, how far away were you? 500, 600 feet. -something like that. okay, now, you've seen photos of ray, right, that's right out here by the point? yeah. how would you say that compared to what you saw? -the neck and the head. that compared. one thing that i found really interesting. about all the witnesses that we've talked to -- one pair had experienced this sighting 16 years ago, -and the other pair was just last year, so it gives some credence to the story. whatever this thing is, i'm really excited to get out there and see what we find. of course, one of the prime theories. -is that this could be some type of a log. i mean, look around. we're surrounded by trees. it's possible some kind of odd-shaped log. is bobbing along out there. -we'll find a log that looks like the same shape, see if we can get it in the same location. the object was in the photograph, and tow it around. yeah, we're at the exact same vantage point. where the photo was taken. -well, i've got the camera, so i'll stay here. and snap some while you're down there. perfect. okay? all right. -hopefully, we can find a log that's gonna be big enough. to actually replicate what was in the photo. let's go. go ahead, jael. making sure that we're all good. -since i just got to the top, here. okay. you're in place. we're ready to go find our log. look. -austin, i think we've found our ray. yeah, i think that'll work. all right, bud, here's the rope. all right. got it. -you get it? yeah. we're towing. hey, jael, start taking pictures now as it moves into place. -y, he gs. he i've snapped a ton of photos. i'm gonna pack up my things and come meet you at the dock. copy that. hey. -what did it look like? well, it did look good. but personally, i don't think it was a log. thure xtof s e'f. te. -s hia ts wa lo edflt. hayave st. oae. s hia ts wa lo edflt. hayave st. -ikit's'sot ite us jit gonna dip under the wake. that the eyewitnesses were talking about. if you're saying it's not a log, this could definitely be a hoax. i think we have to take our next experiment. -heading in that direction. all right, guys, well, let's put this equipment away. and get to it, yeah? what we've got here to build our creature. is some pvc pipe. -and we've capped off the ends so this becomes very buoyant. and then we've attached a keel made of plywood. and weighted it at the bottom. on top of this, we're going to fasten the humps and the head to the creature. -whoa. wow. good job. yeah, this will go right here on the end, and then our two humps on the other part. -and, wow, this is gonna look really good. i think the head is done. let's lift this puppy up, see what it looks like. look at that. ray is tall. -this is gonna look great. i say, jael, we'll let you head back up to the view point. ben and i, let's hit the boat, let's get this thing loaded up. i bet this thing's gonna look even better in the water. -the guys are down there. they have our mock creature that we've created. they're gonna launch it out into the water. where we saw the original creature in the photograph, and hopefully we'll see if it'll look exactly the same. -there you go. okay, jael, the head is in the water, so get ready to take some shots. copy that. i've got my eyes on you. -and as soon you get close. to the one from the original photograph, i will start snapping away. copy that. okay, jael, how's the position? -it's looking just right. you guys just need to pull away from the creature. pulling away, and his head is coming up. come on, boy. come on. -there you go. there you go. hey, guys, it's looking great. i'm gonna grab the digital camera and start snapping away. that's perfect. -the guys are down there. they have our mock creature that we've created. okay, jael, how's the position? it's looking just right. jael, are we good? -we're golden, you guys. great. we're gonna pack up. we'll meet you down at the dock. you feed a stray once, and they keep coming back. -let's see this. check it out. hey. that looks pretty good, huh? i like how the lengths tw th n peeero. -e be hey. that looks pretty good, huh? ke ma itli lmak oo k s vi it i cure ngtlit at. bi. tre dithan it did where we wer. -ke ma itli lmak oo k s vi it i cure ngtlit at. bi. r lisy ookslleall, odbu twe don't go after really good. we go after perfect. and it's not perfect. -ok at how much time and energy. it took toctually make this thing. the probability of a local actually doing the same thing, launching it off this dock without anyone else noticing, and also creating that movement. -that the eyewitnesses were talking about, and actually having it descend -- we weren't able to do that. if all we had was a photo, i would say. this is probably good enough to say this is what it could be, -but we interviewed. different people that have actually seen it, so we know something is out there that's living. i say it's time we stop replicating -- time we actually start go looking for something. -let's get in the water. okay. i agree. austin is going to start his sweep of the lake. his boat is equipped with state-of-the-art sonar, -which has got really great resolution. in fact, it can pick up anything. the size of the end of your pinky. at the same time, jael and i are also gonna start a sweep, and we'll be looking for anything above the water. -we're gonna be ready in our scuba gear. if austin sees anything, he calls us, we're ready to go into the water. we'll see what we can find. and i think we're pretty much geared up. -i've been scanning the lake for quite some time now. i'm still not seeing anything. but, obviously, i mean, patience is one of the biggest keys. when you're scanning a lake of this size. that is huge. -guys, i just found something. i'm not sure what it is. but this thing is huge. how many feet are you talking? i'm saying easily 15 feet. -you need to hurry. it's going in and out of screen on the sonar. i see you guys. i see you guys. there he is, straight ahead. -you guys, i'm not even sure of what i saw, but it was huge! like, it was taunting me, on and off the screen. you guys ready to get wet? jael, i am reading you clearly. over. -that type of visibility is very unsafe. remember, guys, what i saw is big. watch your backs. perfect -- you guys should just be getting. below the first thermocline, -feeling a slight fluctuation in temperature. that's where the predators are gonna be. if ray's down there, you guys should find him. are you seeing anything? over. -copy that. austin to team. how are you guys doing on air? you guys got to be running low. why don't you head back to the boat? -copy. wow! you guys okay? we're doing okay, but you couldn't see anything down there. -thank you. all right, man, it looks like. if you guys couldn't see anything, our next option's fishing. let's put out some bait, see what we can get. -if we can't see it, let's see if we can feed it. okay, guys. what i'm thinking is we should take this, tie a couple of buoys to the end of this. because it's gonna be heavily weighted down, -keep it afloat. we make the leader travel down to about 35 feet. all right. oh, geez. lift him up there. -look at this. there you go. we got a big guy. bring him over. i think it's probably a good idea that we chose a carp. -because there are so many in this lake. that, you know, if ray is inside this lake, this could be a natural food source for him. fish is all hooked up and ready to go. over the top. -there we go. let's go fishing, guys. so, we're gonna keep a really good eye on these bobbers. if they go down, i'll let you know. see if we hook anything. -obviously, we don't want to kill whatever it is. we just want to take a closer look. yeah. and i think setting the bait out there. might just do the trick. -how we looking, guys? are we having any movement at all back there? nothing yet. let's head over back where you picked up. the first sonar reading. -all right. whoa! are you going straight? sure am. whoa! -whoa! whoa, whoa! i can feel it. it's trying to hold the boat. if we can't see it, let's see if we can feed it. -austin, are you going straight? sure am. whoa! we're onto something now. these things went right under. -whatever this is, is stronger than the boat. it's trying to hold the boat. yeah. cut the engine. whoa! -let's go check it out. let's go back and see if we even have any bait left. raystown. we interview our witnesses. they actually, to me, -seemed really pretty credible. yeah. so, after speaking with the witnesses, we wanted to start on our experiments, the first one being the theory that it's gonna be some type. -of log floating out there. if you take a really close look, bv t's othiot xthateuse otcolochdo nat m u. if you take a really close look, so ie wde our second experiment, -which was the re-creation of making our own ray. now, this semelo cr. still, 'tt mewasng. sin. rgub now, this semelo cr. -u coyodn jus'tt make it duck underwater. like people were saying the original was doing. so, after doing that, we decided to do an investigation of the lake. austin went out on his boat equipped with sonar. -he discovered something under the water. that seemed like it was a considerable size. jael and i went out there, dove in the water. visibility was terribly poor. whatever it was, we couldn't see it. -so, after doing that, we tried to get it closer to us, and we trolled around trying to attract this thing. towards our bait. and there was a moment there. where we thought we were onto something pretty big. -whoa! whoa, whoa! whoa! look out. whatever this is, is stronger than the boat. -turns out we were onto something big. we were actually snagged, though, on the bottom. we hooked on a rock or a tree or something 'cause it literally just jolted. you guys did a really good job replicating the photo. but you guys were out there. -what do you guys think it is? i think we have so many credible witnesses. and people saying they have seen something, there still may actually be. some large creature out in the lake. -just having captured something on the sonar. and all of these other sightings, yeah, i'm pretty convinced that something's down there. well, from what i'm seeing from what you guys have done, i say this remains unexplained. -yeah, well, you know, with so many witnesses and this photo, there's a strong possibility. that there is a sea creature dubbed ray. living in these waters. i believe that there is something there. -so, this case is still unexplained. so, i'm excited to hear. what happened in the ghost-writer case. as you recall, the homeowners had been communicating. with a ghost named wright through polaroid pictures. -mm-hmm. they feel like something paranormal. is going on in their house, and they asked us to come in and check it out ourselves. here's what happened. -john. hey. how's it going? hey, bill. nice to see you. -nice seeing you, too. thanks for allowing us to come into your home. well, i'm glad you guys could come here and help us. figure out what the hell is going on here. well, we can spend a few minutes talking about it. -all right. how did the polaroids get started in the first place? i mean, what's the origin behind that? christmas 1991, i got a polaroid camera from my dad. -i had felt things here. since i moved in in 1990 for a couple of years, and a lot of people had. so, i was sitting there working at the table, and the bathroom door opened. -and we had joked about. whether you could get a picture of something or not, and so i thought, "well, that's a good enough sign. so, i took a picture, and nothing showed up, and then i closed the door and got back to work, -and it did it again. and so i took another picture, and then this thing showed up. so, what did you see in the first polaroids you took? different shapes of light. we kept taking them and taking them. -and trying to come up with what could possibly be causing it. so we brought a bunch of friends over, and we said, "well, we got something to show you guys." we showed them the photographs. they were like, "oh, this is so cool. -how did you do this? " one of our friends said, "well, is he here now?" and somebody grabbed the camera and snapped a picture, and then we were looking at it, and we saw it. and it was literally 45 minutes before we realized. -that it actually said something, and it said "yes." next logical question was, "what's your name?" and that was the second polaroid. and he said his name was wright. at one point, we asked if he was a good ghost or a bad ghost, -and he answered, "friend. " oh. oh, wow. "is it difficult to communicate with us?" "takes a dead lift. " -years ago, a psychic friend of ours claimed. that there was a dead body under the house, and he showed us right where, or within a certain perimeter, where this body would be. i'd be willing to climb under there. -let's take it inside. thank you. in here is where the vortex -- this is where we've alwa been told the vortex is, right in front of the bathroom. -and this is supposedly the portal. where all the spirits, entities, whatever, enter, and then they shoot across there and exit by the stove. right here is the area where the dead body. is supposed to be buried. -so, we're, like, standing over it? yeah. all right. let's get started. we're gonna do what john has been doing for years -- -ask some questions at the place. where john believes there is a vortex, snap a photo, and see if anything's been written. on the polaroids. you guys ready? -yeah. okay, so, this is brand-new. brand-new. that's it. when you look at the way the pictures were all taken, -they were all taken in this direction. remember, this is the vortex and this is the flow of energy, so they're all taken pretty much in this direction, so we should really focus on shooting here and here. i want to know... -how many of you are here? are you helping us in our investigation? can you speak to us please? you guys get anything? nothing. -i got nothing in mine, too. no written responses appeared in our polaroids. maybe the entity is not ready to send us a message yet. but in the meantime, we now have to begin to explore the possibility. -that this ghost-writer event may be something man-made. a lot of theories are floating out that the reason. why this polaroid gets crazy ghost writing on it. is because it's actually a play on exposure, so we've gone ahead and developed the acetate test. -where we will take a piece of clear acetate, paint it, take undeveloped polaroid film, pre-expose it with writing on it, feed it back into the camera, and then take a picture with it, so then it actually gets a double exposure on it -- -the first time with the writing... and the second time with our image. and that will give us our ghostly writing. on our own polaroid. but what we want to do is take this and make it opaque. -once we get an opaque layer here, we're gonna actually scratch in the lettering, put it over so then light will actually filter. through the lettering that we've scratched... okay. -...and the rest of it will stay unexposed. that will actually burn that light image into the film. so, the next thing we're gonna do is head into the dark room. so, this is my pack of film. i'm gonna jump down on the ground. -i'm actually gonna eject the film now, one by one. larry, can you hand me one of the acetates? one. okay, and this is up. so, i'm gonna hold it up to the film, -and i'm gonna have you go ahead and take my digital camera. and just take a picture so that the flash exposes the film. and flash. now that we've exposed every single one of our polaroids, we have to put it back into the cartridge. -as if it hasn't been touched. so, all we have to do now is open up this pack, load it into our camera, and take own ghost polaroids. well, let's get to it. okay. -put this in. and eject the dummy. there you go. oh. bingo. -okay. and i have them in the order that they were taken, but, uh... oh. whoa! this is weird! -we're gonna actually scratch in the lettering. that will actually burn at light image into the film. put this in. whoa! whoa! -this is weird! what is is stuff? this is strange. yeah. our polaroid experiment. -actually had some really confusing results. take a look at this - this is the actual polaroid. that we did in our situation room. and you can tell the writing is there, and even though the lighting is off, -it looks pretty close. to what the ghost-writer photographs look like. but when we did the same eerim. en. rihe g-wst-whor ok at what happened. -there are blobs of light instead of actual text. our polaroid experiment was inconclusive. and didn't give us the information that we needed, so now we're gonna focus on the video, and we're gonna see if the video was faked. -to do that, we're gonna use a very large sheet of plexiglas. and put ghost-writer words on it. all right, that's as tight as it's gonna get. so, you remember the video of the ghost writing that we saw? this is gonna help us re-create that video. -and here's the photograph. it just came out of the camera. "corpus delicti. " to mimic the video, larry and i are gonna stand. on one side of the plexiglas. -bill is gonna go ahead and put ghost-writer phrases. on the glass. larry and i are gonna shoot bill through the plexiglas, avoiding the ghost writing on the bottom of the plexi. bill is then gonna take a polaroid of us. -with the ghost writing in his frame. so, hopefully, that'll explain the possible paranormal event. that was captured on john's video. all right. let's give it a try. -you ready? polaroid number one. ooh, i see the writing appearing right now. beginning to develop. hold it still, bill. -'cause it's coming out, and i see it. you know what the problem is? i'm seeing a reflection of your red light in the plexi, and my camera's actually focusing on your red light. oh, yeah. -i see yours now, too. and that's what's causing my camera. to notocus on the polaroid any longer. this plexiglas, it's full of reflections -- light bouncing off of the wooden bookcases, -the shiny book covers, the kitchen utensils. everything right now is bouncing light. in this dark environment. here's something else that's a real issue. when i look at this photo, -i can see the flash bounce from my camera. i have to admit i think we're all. a little disappointed by the results. the picture that bill took was somewhat convincing, but it was the video. -that just didn't look anything like the original. there was no way we could keep the glares out. so, it didn't replicate it, by any means. the plexiglas experiment did not work. if we cannot re-create this event inside the house, -maybe there is something paranormal. occurring outside the house. john mentioned to us the psychic told him. that there could be a body buried under the house. directly below where john believes. -the vortex exists in the living room. to search under the house, we brought in an expert in ground-penetrating radar. we essentially develop a two-dimensional image. as we move an antenna along the ground's surface, -and that image is used to identify reflection patterns. that could conceivably show us where something's buried. could this potentially find a dead body under the ground? it should. we're gonna go down underneath the house, -and we're gonna have to move the antenna, the radar antenna, ong the ground's surface. and as we go along, we'll probably make ticks to identify various points. that all comes back to the recording system. -that we'll be standing at, looking at. if you guys see something on the screen, let us know. we'll excavate those locations. where an anomalous signal appears. yeah. -we've placed the cameras in a spot. where not only can you see what we're doing, but you can see us, as well, so just keep an eye on us. make sure we're all right. definitely. -definitely. all right, guys. i'm rolling. you guys can head on in. all right. -i'm gonna pull it down. okay. go ahead and go whenever you're ready. ep the movement of the antenna continuous. try to make those clicks. -roger that. keep going. keep going. ah, right there. this is some kind of reflection. -it's something buried there off the edge. hey, guys, see if you can dig. anything up from that area. a what? hey, we just found some bones! -we're gonna go down underneath the house, and we're gonna have to move the radar antenna. hey, we just found some bones! i found another bone! two bones! -well, just see if you can excavate. anhing else from that site. more! more bones! we actually und three now! -it'shree bones. they're found underneath the area. where the vortex is that john identified. we got a really good intervi with the residents of the house. dung the interview, they mentioned. -that a body could possibly be bled under the house. and we went under there to do a dig, and we found... bones. i have them right here. -actually had them analyzed by dr. wake. he is the director. of zooarchaeological laboratory at ucla. and, well, what he had to say was pretty interesting. -this is a cow bone. and this is a chicken bone. i think that a lot of this case, it seems like, will really rely on whether you believe. that these witnesses are credible or not. -actually, i was able to do a layered voice analysis. over this interview, as well, like we've done in the past, and i actually would like to show you. the results of that right now. i think you're gonna find these results very interesting. -so, one of the polaroids they took, he says it had writing on it, and he's being completely truthful. so, what's your final thought on this, bill? between our inability to replicate the results. -by manipulating the film directly or with the plexiglas, plus the fact that they seem to be truthful. in the entire case, it just remains completely mind-boggling to me, and it still can't be solved. -i agree. i have to follow that layered-voice analysis. i think what they're telling us is true. i got to tell you - i'm baffled. -i've dona lot of photography in my day, and i've studied a lot, and the fact that i can do this, and i can have the same results, but yet i can't do it when we're on site, really just confuses me. -i agreed that case is not a hoax. i think we need file this as an unexplained. transcript by addic7ed. com adriano_csi football fans fall into three categories: -picnics, ultras and hools. you start off as a picnic. dad takes his boy to a match. sits him down in the family sector. calm, quiet, good manners. -what offside! hey, flag man! fucking ass fucked faggot! where did you see the fucking offside?

name: cha tae shik. -address: 21 dongja-dong, yong san-ku, seoul. no drug dealing record. negative to the drug test. basically, this guy has no record between '98 and '06. -no record? falsifying papers is nothing new to these guys. trace down from the last available record and try to find a connection to oh myung kyu. remember this is a homicide case. 21 dongja-dong, yong san-ku. -a pawn shop? a splotch was found inside this woman's nose. do you understand what that means? her eyeballs were taken out while her heart was beating. her eyes were ripped out while she was still alive! -drugs aren't an issue with you, you know. if you keep insisting on remaining silent, you will rot in a shithole for good. detective... don't we get dinner? what? -dinner? you don't fucking get it, do you? who's cha tae shik? what is it? i couldn't access his record. -it's locked. locked? these are the phone records of mr. oh. give it to the captain and ask him to see me please. he's at the site and won't be back soon. -damn. the dark knight escape from baron's castle... here, here... let's continue after meals, okay?

you remember the short track ono case? -a kid here sent an e-mail to the president of the us. saying, "i kill you!" then, the fbi asked us to investigate. naturally, guys who have skeletons in their closet are full of doubts and questions. now we send the same message with cha tae shik's email. -if it gets through and they request an investigation, then that's it... they won't have any option but to declassify the information. obama... obama? is obama you friend, you idiot? -we're just sending it to the white house. now what? go? stop? whatever it takes. -don't kill me please. it's true. really. the bitch... the fucking whore talked me into it. -that's how it started... korean bastards don't act until confronted. it took the olympics for them to build bridges and stadiums, you know. now they're falling apart.

think cha tae shik did all that? no? the little girl somee... any leads on her whereabouts? -who cares about her? everybody is too busy trying to find oh myung kyu. hello? it worked. cha tae shik. -forget the fucking mike, dammit! how many guys do you see here? uh, yes sir. the information we have on cha tae shik came from the us. cha tae shik was an agent for a special black ops team called the udu. -he's presumed to have carried out many covert missions from 1998 to 2006. he also worked as a lethal martial arts instructor at the agency. as you can see, he's received several of the highest medals of honor for his service. you're sure about this information? make sure you get it verified. -this man looks like a delinquent. his main missions were sabotage, political assassination, bombings, kidnappings, etc. typical special covert missions. so how much do you need? that was sold from here, wasn't it? -i'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding. this is the loan office, not a telecommunication service. just name the guy who bought it and you won't get hurt. what are you? a cop? -his training regimen has been kept a secret from the outside world. it is known to be extremely brutal. a senator fainted merely by watching it. he usually buys 20 phones a month. i think he's in the organ business. -livers, kidneys, stuff like that. last record of him was after a car accident in 2006. he was hopitalized and treated for gunshot wounds. gunshot wounds? unlike the passenger in his car, cha tae shik was transferred to a military hospital. -according to the military surgeon, his wounds were more from gunshots and not the accident. who the fuck are we dealing with here? who was the other victim of the accident? his wife, kim yeon soo. killed instantly. -just received some info on cha tae shik. where are you now? listen! we're not talking about online shopping. let's meet in person. -you can't extend your life just by swallowing some pills. yeah, let's talk after i see your medical record so that we can have an actual conversation. hold it, love. you can't light a cigarette like that. ever heard this, sweetheart? -here, bottoms up. cheers! you mean it? after we find the guy, you'll destroy my contract? just tell me where he is. -all right! uh huh, yeah yeah. he took their car and crossed the yang hwa bridge a few minutes ago. we traced tochi's phone. watch your back! -tochi's business card - welcome, sir! uh-huh. first time here, i presume? girls are pretty hot here, you know. -sexy! though, it's kind of dead here tonight... i used to hit on tons of chicks here. what's the matter with this place? atmosphere's bad today. -let's move. where's tochi? tochi? tochi? alright, fuck. -uh, feeling a little constipated... this way, please. dialysis... even going to a place across the street can be quite a chore. since it's for your beautiful wife, i'll give you a special deal. -religion? what? religion? we use religious organizations to make it look like a donation. it will take about two months. -are you warm? you're sweating like hell. no, uh... i'm fine. hello? -yes. i'm... in the bathroom. yes... yes. that was...? -a friend... what friend? hey, get out! piss off! get ou... -mister! .. here! here! fucking son of a... -i will not ask twice. where is somee? son of a... fuck... so, -you sold somee to that body farm? i don't know! man suk and jong suk, those bastards know. where are they? ok! -ok! eh...? shit! you really surprised me, asshole. hey, pawn shop. -weren't you supposed to be locked up? why did you kill somee's mother? kill? who killed who? slut's body saved three people's lives. -besides, you delivered the body, so you're just as liable. right? hello? hello? hello? -did you do the same to somee? what do you think i did? the kid's organs aren't ripe enough to have any market value. her corneas are still good for sale, though. they're worth quite a bit. -just do five years, pal. who knows? she might be waiting for you when you get out. your kind only live for tomorrow, right? what? -maybe, though... maybe there won't be a tomorrow. what the fuck are you talking about, dumbass? i'm already in hell. and i'll show you... -just how terrible it is. hey, this idiot just hung up on me. you want me to transfer the case to nis? (nis is the korean equivalent of the cia) despite all intel gathered, both drugs and suspect are gone. -that won't do. you are to hand over all files pertaining to this case. mr. song's the lead prosecutor? i went to college with him. let's settle this as quietly as possible. -fucking bullshit. who do you want? oh myung kyu or cha tae shik? for two months, we put sweat and blood into this case. the guys in the hospital are ours too. -i'm gonna be the one that drags them in sir. no one will stand in my way. i don't give a fuck if i lose my badge. i don't think you understand the situation here. in 2006, a ministry of defense employee was trying to sell satellite intel. -it was a $2 billion case. an order given to a black ops team to cut off the transfer and retrieve the leaked materials. one of the agents assigned was moon dal-seo, an infiltration expert. another one was cha tae shik, a cleaner. the mission was successful... but with a tragic sacrifice. -so beautiful! i am so happy. so happy, i can't stop the tears. lets hug. all three of us. -take care! thanks. sir! cha tae shik! sir! -sir! what are you looking at? ! cha tae shik! call an ambulance! -hurry! cha tae shik! call an ambulance, damn it! hey! hey, don't move! -hey! move this one. move! hold it! cha tae shik... -tae shik, we can't stop the bleeding if you keep moving! let me go! get off me! hold it! do i need to ask what this is about? -i need a gun. three years, and that's the first thing you say to me? not a colt or a tokarev. ten rounds, semi-auto. get some sleep. -you've got a fever. i started adopting strays, before long i had this many. i'm either a scrap dealer or a dog breeder. i'm not quite sure which. if it'd hit you half inch an higher you'd be a dead man. -don't do that. i don't know what this is about but... don't do that. i have to find someone. it's only been a few days... but i can't remember her face. should have taken a photo... -she withdrew eight grand. a second grader. does that make sense? the account belonged to nam sung shik, a guardian lover of park hae jung. it matches that guy's statement. -mister? please mister, please tell them i didn't do anythi... hey, cha tae shik. kim chung won, dea. i was chasing you down. -remember me? i'll get to the point. i'm bringing you in. before i do that, let me ask you something... you know the daughter of the murdered park hae jung, -jung somee. are you looking for her? she's alive. she withdrew some cash from the kasan branch of woori bank yesterday. tell me everything. -otherwise, you'll never find her. man suk. jong suk. what?

-tasty? tell man jong i'm bringing the kid. now, say good bye. bye! are you going home, sis? -you all must behave if you want to go home like her. understand? let's go sis... bye! -thanks! she's telling the truth, right? if i behave, i can see my mom? out of order - hey, jang doo shik! -what? what? who are you? fuck do you mean who am i? i'm jesus! -i command thee to walk. look! here! fuck that noise! he's beating a crippled man! -there's nothing here. get up! attention! you're gonna run to the police van. yes, sir! -left! left! left, right, left! i don't know. half of the guys are behind bars and the other half are in hiding. -you think they'd call us? she's the missing girl. man jong, do they sell kids these days? what's this, a fairy tale? they're more than capable of doing this. -but that's not what this is. i can tell just by looking, she's an ant. ant? an ant. out of order - -it's a method used by a chinese crime syndicate, the black society. debtors who're unable to repay are brought in with their children. come on, debtors! debtors! they use their kids to collect payments, move drugs, etc. -they're kids! who'd suspect them? would you? it costs far less and is almost undetectable. a perfect solution. -since the network is too spread out, it's impossible to find who's running it. hey, mister! mister! 302! 302! -stop where you are! freeze! stop! hey. hey! -sniveling little brats... hey you! this one's no good. throw it away. what're you little shits looking at? -keep working! you know i'm busy... what is it? hello? somee. -bring her here. pawn shop? how did you find the place, uh? brother! who was that? -no negotiations. bring somee here within an hour. i asked you, motherfucker! who the fuck was that?

when the children died... you took out their organs. liver to the west coast. eyes to the east coast. -heart to seoul. right? i didn't... those poor little kids... their tormented souls, haunted forever by their gruesome deaths. -did that ever occur to you, even once? on the other hand, have you ever thought about how much those organs are worth? their own parents abandoned them. it's a win-win deal! isn't it? -wrong answer. right now... you should be weeping with remorse. hey, you fucking bastard! if anything happens to me, you'll never see that girl again, you got that? whether or not i find her, you two are dead. -hey! help! damn it! hello? hello? -brother! if you're gonna call, say something, damn it! take this. time to go home. where's my mom? -mom? mommy is right here. i pulled out her heart. so, your mom is right here, ok?

no, i don't feel i need to do that. -but if lupe did something illegal, i had nothing to do with it, okay? and i don't wanna be involved. maybe you could talk to somebody else. i'm sorry for the inconvenience, mr. walters but you're the only contact information lupe left behind after she was raped. uh... -sh... three months ago your nanny was the victim of a brutal sexual assault. i didn't... i didn't know. i... -that's awful. it appears to be the work of a serial rapist whose last victim was found dead in her home. so it'd mean a lot to us if you could help us find lupe. hey, i understand, but, you know, like i said i have no idea where she lives. sorry. -lieutenant flynn, what can you tell me about jeff walters? he's a talent agent, so we know he's an asshole. other than that, he's clean, chief. i took the photos of lupe nava and jeff walters and i went over adrianna gomez's daily route again and nobody recognized them. there's gotta be some connection among these women. -we need to find out what it is. in the mean time, i got no hits at the morgue for lupe nava or any juanita doe who matches her description, which is good news. she couldn't have just disappeared. i'll call fritz to see if he can locate her from the federal immigration rolls. something interesting, captain? -i was just thinking how difficult it can be to get federal assistance for an i.a.p.d. investigation. and what an asset it is to be married to an fbi agent. what's that supposed to mean? chief? we found the third rape victim. -her name is marisol guittierez. in the morgue? no, actually she's in the interview room with lieutenant tao. i was able to get her address from santa monica p.d. and, um, she's a nanny. -lieutenant, since she's not a suspect, i can move the lens. so do you think i should grab a few freeze frames? she won't be staying to pose for pictures. fire when ready, buzz. should i ask detective sanchez to come in? -no. she speaks english, if you can get her to talk. okay. hi, marisol. i'm brenda. -so sorry to make you come down here today. no one likes to be here, i know. now, i want you to understand that you're not in any trouble. and everything you say in this room is completely confidential. i don't know nothing. -please. do not send me back. please. do not send me back. how you came into this country is none of my business. -all i care about is finding the man who hurt you. so he can't ever hurt anyone else. because that's what he's doing, marisol. he's hurting people. now, do you recognize either of these women? -okay. this is adrianna. she's a nanny, just like you. a few days ago, someone entered her home tortured her with a stun gun and then he raped her. this is lupe nava. -she's a nanny too. three months ago she also was attacked with a stun gun and raped. now, the man who did this to these women is the same man who assaulted you. we know this now. brenda: -i'm sorry. do any of these men look familiar to you? marisol, please. help me stop the monster who did this. marisol. -marisol, who did this to you? i don't know nothing. i don't know nothing. federal immigration reports for the past six months. there are 243 lupes, guadalupes and lupitas with the last name nava living in los angeles county. -oh, great. fortunately for you, only five of them fit the description of your rape victim. may i see your lupe nava? two suspects, one dead nanny, another one who's vanished, possibly dead and one who's too scared to talk to me. and all this with captain raydor watching my every move. -ugh. that woman. hey, hey, hey. your lucky day. oh, fritzy. -jeff walters' missing nanny. thank you. i need to talk to her in the worst way. oh, maybe not so lucky. according to immigration and customs lupe nava was deported a month and a half ago. -to where? man: mexico. yep, that's her. guadalupe nava. -i handled her a file. fairly ordinary case, from what i remember. do you recall if miss nava reported being raped? uh... yes. -actually, she did. excuse me, agent meyers, but exactly what about sexual assault makes this case ordinary? there are over a million illegal aliens living in i.a. county. when they end up here, they will say anything and i mean anything, to avoid removal including that they were victims of some crime. so you assumed that lupe was lying? -yes. but that didn't stop me from checking out her story, okay? now, i called the da's office to see if there was a criminal rape case file with her name on it and there wasn't. and she waived a hearing opted for voluntary departure, which was another reason why i didn't buy this rape claim. don't tell me. -she was telling the truth? she really was raped? along with two others that we know about. marisol guittierez and adrianna gomez, who we found murdered. you have to understand. -if she pushed this, i would've gotten an investigator down here right away. she could've fought this. let me ask you. how did lupe wind up in front of you in the first place? she was reported by her employer. -jeffrey walters. you want his address? i have it. i have a warrant to search for items belonging to lupe nava and other evidence related to her disappearance. own a stun gun? -what? why didn't you tell me you were having sex with lupe? what? i suppose rape doesn't have to do with sex. she says i raped her? -she didn't say anything because you had her deported. all right, just hold on one second. i never laid a hand on lupe, all right? you wouldn't mind giving us a swab from your cheek then? dad? -hey, sweetie. everything's fine. brenda: detective sanchez would you take mr. walters' son outside for a moment? i'll be right there, okay? -this is agent fritz howard of the fbi. he has a few questions for you. about what? making false statements to a federal agency, then we can move on to violating the immigration and nationality act. chief, your suspect went that way. -children know more about their nannies than anyone. so, tell me, leo, the last time you saw lupe did she seem worried or upset to you? no. i mean, she was the same. we just went to the park, like always. -who'd you see at the park? no one, really. none of my friends really go there anymore. why not? well, i mean, jeremy he's with his family in england and ollie went to a baseball camp. -i don't know what the heck happened to ruben. excuse me, did you say ruben? uh-huh. think it's the same ruben avery was talking about? his friend from the park? -you ever see this kid before? his name is avery. um... no. uh-uh. -detective sanchez, would you please call agent meyers at ice and see if he has a ruben in his files? thank you. leo, can you tell us how to find ruben? no, i don't have his phone number or anything. but we're facebook friends. -is adrianna okay? did you guys find her? we're trying to locate her family in mexico. avery, how old is ruben? my age, i guess. -maybe a little bit younger. adrianna wouldn't go back to mexico... what's going on? brenda: mr. disken. -hello... you have no right to barge in here. brenda: your wife let us in. come on. -it's okay. dad is just concerned, okay? i know, i know. this has gone way too far. you cannot bring the children into this. -we haven't told them about adrianna. neither have i. i assure you... you are not hearing me. get your people out of my son's room now! i'm close to solving this. -if you interfere with me any more, i'll arrest you. i have an fbi agent at the home of another suspect. i'd be happy to do the same for you. what makes me a suspect? well, you certainly have a lot of rage. -that fits the bill. now, stand out here and be very, very quiet. it's all right, go on. ruben hasn't updated his status in a long time, but here he is. now, the profile just says ruben? -do you know his last name? uh-uh. he never told me. this is his photo page. who's that? -avery: ruben's dad, i guess. oh, my... sanchez, were you able to contact agent meyers about ruben? wasn't in the office. -i left a message on his cell. do you want me to try his house? agent meyers? deputy chief johnson. is now a good time? -brenda: agent meyers? in here. ruben: go away. -get out. sanchez: it's okay. it's okay. don't move. -it's okay. don't move. chief, darts from a stun gun. you can't be here. get out. -brenda: ruben, it's okay. we're the police. we're here to help. i'm already in trouble. -who are you in trouble with? my dad. i'll call paramedics. ruben, can you tell me where your dad went? no, he took the van from work, he's gone. -detective sanchez, stay here until paramedics arrive. chief, meyers is not here. of course not. ugh! i told him everything i know about the case. -slow. easy, easy. think, think, think. where did he go? where did he go? -meyers was targeting illegal aliens. but adrianna was an american citizen... that's why he killed her. he couldn't silence her with deportation. oh, my god. -he's going after marisol. raydor: why bother? we have his dna. that's the one thing i didn't tell him. -and he's really angry. no, fritz. you're only five or six blocks away. left on valley ridge. this time of night, gonna take swat an hour to get in position. -assuming he's here. he is. there's his van. all right. tao, flynn, box him in now. -let's go. hey, chief, get back! get back. get back! back away! -back away! back away. drop your weapon and let her go now! okay, okay, okay. let's not do anything stupid. -i am serious. move your cars now. let her go, and then we can talk, okay? meyers: i'm not standing around waiting for swat. -move your cars or i will put a bullet in her head. chief, back up! brenda: look, look. let's just keep our cool. -okay? all units. all units... move your cars now or i will blow her brains all over this sidewalk. shut up! -woman: three officers in jeopardy. evac unit in need of help... help me. shut up. -provenza: we need rifles. flynn: back up. chief, back up. -agent meyers, let's just calm down. let's just keep our cool. we can walk away peacefully. just move your cars and back away now. back away now. -back away. shut up. there's one way for us to get out of here alive. that is for you to drop your weapon and come with me. back up. -i will let her go when i am out of here. this is not a negotiation, agent meyers. drop it! if you shoot her, we will kill you. if you run, we will kill you. -if you do not drop your weapon, we will kill you. let her go and get down on the ground. now! if i'm gonna die, then i am taking this wetback with me. and maybe you too. -now back off! this is your last chance. let her go! shut up. shut up! -bitch. fritz: brenda. brenda! brenda! -brenda! i'm okay. okay? okay? you almost got yourself killed. -never, ever do that again! you hear me? never. tao: chief! -gabriel: you're all right. wheelchair request room 3. wheelchair request room 3. how is he? -better. get this, when ruben was hanging out with those other kids at the park he thought he was doing undercover work. identifying illegals. and his dad would rape them. you sure that he didn't know what was going on? -he has bruises. they're older than the ones he got today. okay? okay. any word about his mother? -all ruben remembers is about four years ago took a family trip down to tijuana and they left without her. all right. uh... better call in children services. sir, if he goes into the system, they're gonna put him on a list. -they're not gonna try to find his mother for months... finding his mom comes later. now, detective, right now, this kid needs someone to look after him. julio if you want, stay with him until the children's services people show up. oh, captain raydor, come in. -i just wanted to say thank you. since your husband neutralized joe meyers the fbi gets to do all the after-action clean up. all of internal affairs owes you a huge favor. well, any chance i can get to make your life a little easier. and you showed great bravery. -well, thank you. but credit goes to all of major crimes. and of course, chief pope. by the way, i think you'll be pleased to know i've completed my investigation. oh. -finished your background on chief pope? i didn't say i was doing a background check on chief pope. as the i.a.p.d.'s women's coordinator i am on the search committee for our new boss. the mayor and the police commission want a strong female candidate in the mix. you are the highest ranking woman in the department now, so... -what's this? it's an application. for the chief of the i.a.p.d. all candidates need to get one in within the next two weeks. i see it's already been filled out for me. -all it needs is your signature. from our conversations, i gather that you're still very close to chief pope. i do hope that this incredible opportunity doesn't cause any friction between the two of you. two weeks, chief johnson. chief of police? -us sarah: okay, if we're going to keep this church renovation on schedule we need a checklist. did you order the two-by-fours? yes. -look, yousef, you've got to work on your english, okay? okay. no, no, no. when i'm going down the checklist, you say "check". -okay. no, like me. check. yes. check. -okay. check! yes, okay. woman: people, people, listen to yourselves! -yes. check. okay. yes. can't we just agree to agree? -oh my god, it's lois kettlebaum! the self-help psychologist. oh! ms. kettlebaum! lois: -guilty as charged. oh! i am your biggest fan! oh, aren't you darling. what a darling thing to say! -oh, so... oh, i can't believe it's you. i've read all your books. oh, "get out of your own way, idiot" or "get over yourself, stupid". -calm down, sweetie!

"this is to confirm a positive result regarding... paternity." what? i made a mistake. -yes, and this confirms it. this isn't for me. "reverend william thorne"? the reverend is having a child. the father is a father! -i can't bear the thoughts of my poor little fluffy alone in this strange, strange place. oh, well, should i go look for him?

no, no! don't you do that! i need you! -you're like the sister i never had. oh... well, that's not it. you're like the friend i never had. oh, that's good. -that's not it. you're like the personal assistant i never had. wow! well, if you feel that way, would you mind giving me a little advice? my poor, poor fluffy! -ohh, pie. okay, i'm just going to tell him that i accidentally opened his mail! a perfectly reasonable mistake. there's no way he could be upset. there's no way he could not be upset. -i have to tell him or i won't feel right. so you're going to tell him that you read his private letter that states he has a child out of wedlock. better yet. you tell him. but i don't wan... -amaar. rayyan. what are you doing in the hallway? nothing. just, uh... -nothing. not much. and yet your mosque is not a roaring success? how odd. excuse me. -java calling. and we're worried about protecting that man's feelings? we have to. of course we do. but you've got to admit it is tempting. -you have some pretty good ammunition to use against thorne here. wait a second. we don't have to tell him! all we have to do is just toss that letter on his desk and hopefully he won't notice that it's open. i guess you wanted that in one piece, huh? -sarah: so... that's me. my husband's in lebanon with his mother, and my daughter moved out. what should i do? i... -i feel a... a bit lost. lost? like fluffy? mrs. hobbs' impossible lies are true? -lois kettlebaum is here! in the flesh. in the gooseflesh. well, it's so nice to be recognized. and by such a tall, dark, and handsome man. -i even have your book, "children: the necessary evil". aw. this has been such a help in dealing with my thankless child. -oh, the, uh, library won't like that too much. um, do you have time to give me some advice? oh, dr. kettlebaum is way too worried about her dog to give anyone advice. i'd be delighted. please join us. -what about my advice? your advice? don't be silly, no one wants your advice. just hold my book. what? -wait! that looks nothing like the original envelope. thorne wouldn't know that. i'm just going to, uh, toss it on his desk... thorne: -rayyan, always a pleasure. amaar! what are you doing in my office? well, uh... i... -we were here to talk to you about the, uh... the... the interfaith council! interfaith council! oh, yeah, that. what do you want to say about it? -well, i, uh, think it should be expanded. pardon me? and i think it should be disbanded. really? huh. -well, why would you say that, rayyan? well, we're just not getting anything done. i agree. yes, but the council is meant to bring christians and muslims together. i mean, isn't that the kind of thing you're always going on about, amaar? -well, it is. yeah. and it isn't. that is to say that i have and i have not... uh, rayyan has a point. -thorne: really? then why do you want to expand it? amaar: why-y-y do i-i-i want to expand it? -that's a good question and i'm going to answer that question with a question. why not? why not! why not, indeed. yes, why not. -since the council's doing nothing, we obviously need more people to do it! hm? y-yes, in a manner of speaking. however, you know, reverend, i think that if i really mull it over, then... no! because, you know, in summation... no! -no. ah. you obviously feel very strongly about this. hm. mrs. wispinski: -reverend thorne, the choir's working up a new folk hymn for you. and wait until you hear "onward christian soldiers" on the ukulele! ha, ukulele, delightful! ha! -ukulele. it's almost like a musical instrument, but smaller and more... hawaiian. well, you sound like a wonderful father. i do, don't i? -and you... you are a very discerning woman. no, no, your wife is a very discerning woman. my wife left me. very discerning. -so you're a bachelor? footloose and fancy pants and swinging it old school. i could listen to you speak all day! ooh! mm-hmm! -fluffy! fluffy. you looking for a body shop? no, it's a dog! an adorable dog with a diamond-studded collar. -diamond-studded. cool! yeah, i have to get it back to the boss lady. shouldn't you have a leash? well, of course i... -leash... leash! i'll be right back. whoa, cujo, what you got there? diamond collar. -oh no. baber, my dear, sweet man. here's my free advice: keep on keeping on. be yourself. -make the world accept you for who you are. i cannot express my delight at meeting such a friendly, and aesthetically pleasing famous person. baber, what is wrong with you? it's sarah! whatever! -huh! you make me blush, baber. you are so unlike most celebrities. of course, as you know, many of them are jews. excuse me? -sarah: okay, baber, maybe now's the time to change the subject. what's wrong with jews? as my uncle bandar always says, jews are mean people and that they control the world's events! -who do you think is responsible for bike lanes? excuse me, baber, i happen to be jewish. oh... no, no, sister, uh... excuse me. i'm sorry. -do you know that woman is jewish? isn't that odd? excuse me? i happen to be jewish. no, no, brother, uh, excuse me. -fred, hm? did you know there are two jews in the room? could this be part of the conspiracy to steal our souls and smoke our meat? oh, don't tell me you're jewish also. -me? a red sea pedestrian? huh! no thanks. got no time for 'em. -muslims either, for that matter. i feel exactly the same way, only replace muslims with white people. believe me, i'd love to. are you sure this is going to get the coffee off? positive. -and then we dry it and return it to thorne. flawless plan. okay, so i just, uh, dip it in the water like this? yes, that's it. gently. -flawless plan. yeah, and then i, uh... yeah, yeah! see? coffee's coming off. -flawless plan. sure is! it's good. oh. oh no. -so is the ink. well, i think we found a flaw in your plan. ugh, what an awful man. what an awful café. what an awful town! -what a lovely house! oh sar... ...rah. r-r-ah. oh, sarah, i don't know how i could have gotten through this day without you! -oh, that's sweet, but you know, the town's not so bad once you get to know it. are you telling me how to react appropriately? i think i wrote the book on reacting appropriately. oh, look! "reacting appropriately: -the lois kettlebaum way". oh, i love that book! you and 50 million others, but who's counting? wow. well look, lois, why did you give baber advice, but you didn't give me any? -you want my advice? yeah. get out of town. no, no, i really want to know. that's my advice. -get out of town. what? your husband chose his mother over you, your marriage is probably over. you've been doing his work as well as the mayor's work. you don't have a life. -get out of town! sorry i asked. { advertisement } mayor: knock, knock, knock. -sarah, here. don't say i never returned anything. is that the hedge trimmer you borrowed ten years ago? i don't know. i found it in your garage. -where's lois kettlebaum? the woman that wrote "getting yours first: the single woman's guide" is in your loo? do you think she'd give me some advice? -i have to tell thorne. if he was more open about his past, this wouldn't even be an issue. that didn't sound like it. we go talk to thorne, we steer the conversation in the direction of illegitimate children. he'll just volunteer the information himself. -that is so brilliant, i don't get it. knock, knock. are you busy? yes. good, because i need some help. -i have met a... wonderful woman. sounds like she needs some help. just one problem: she's jewish. ahh, the, uh, religious barrier! -well, even if she doesn't convert, marriage is not out of the question. but, what if she... tries to eat my soul when i'm sleeping? whoa, whoa, baber. there is no room for anti-semitism in islam! but uncle bandar says there is, plenty of room! -the more the merrier! but not for jews! amaar: islam has a special place for judaism and christianity. as you know, the qur'an calls them the "people of the book". -while uncle bandar calls them shape-shifters. oh, i'm so confused! well, your uncle bandar sounds like an idiot. yes, perhaps he is. oh, i've been such a fool! -i must go talk to mrs. kettlebaum! and that man has a doctorate. hey, plaid guy. i got the leash. i got good news, i got bad news. -hey, that's fluffy's collar! well, that takes care of the good news. mayor: well, i wouldn't really call any of them steady boyfriends, if you catch my drift. any port in a storm, right? -the last eight years has been a hurricane. you want my advice? keep up the good work! thank you! what? -that's it? you can't be serious! you give her that advice and you tell me to leave town? sarah, i only told you what was good for you. you wanted my advice. -i don't want anymore advice, doggone it! doggone... oh, fluffy! fluffy. oh, my little baby! -fluffy! sarah, what are you doing? she is clearly a smart woman with smart advice. if she told me to leave town, i'd go. i lashed out at her because she tells me something i don't want to hear. -i have got to make this right. reverend. interesting mail? i'm waiting for an important letter that still hasn't shown up yet. oh. -that's too bad. anyway, rayyan and i were talking. about sin. sins of the flesh. it's hard to fight instinct sometimes. -amaar: and sometimes, it's good to talk to people about our mistakes. because we all make mistakes. rayyan: we all do. -we really do. physical mistakes. physical mistakes. well, uh, yes. well, well, well. -no, i, uh, i agree. this is, um... this is worth talking about. so are you saying that... you two have, uh... hm? sins of the flesh? -i-i beg your pardon? excuse me! what? she's the one who brought it up! i can't believe a dog ate fluffy. -word up. look, trouble's never as bad as it seems. i remember a time... let's just say i let somebody down. i thought it was the end of the world. but look at me, i'm still here! -sure, i can never sell cheddar in alberta again, but life goes on! for me, anyway. well, now i've got to tell ms. kettlebaum that fluffy was eaten by a big dog. it wasn't that big. it was kind of a bulldoggy thing. -really. one bulldog ate another bulldog. bulldog? that's fluffy! fluffy! -fluffy! fluffy! here, fluffy! come here, baby! come here, my baby! -you have a pet name for me! come to mummy! and i thought you'd be mad. what? oh, i... -oh... please, leave me alone. oh, can't we talk about this? get away from me. i'm not interested in a relationship with you! -because i'm muslim? because of the horrible things you said to me! please, leave me alone. lois! lois! -rayyan: i have never been so embarrassed in my whole life. amaar: and it's all my fault. i mean, why have i been beating around the bush with thorne when i need to be telling him the truth?

-it was a she. what was she doing? she stood there at the end of my bed with an air of dignity. what she didn't even say anything? she came all that way and she didn't even say anything. -she couldn't say anything, paul - she didn't have a mouth. in your opinion. no, it's a fact. her head was made of lots of little heads, and none of them had mouths. i bet you're a brilliant dancer. -yeah, i am. i... i practise during the day. kieron's a dancer. very nimble. -i take him down the prince, i fill him with red bull, and he dances on his own for hours. oh, is that...?

-i'm not being like anything. good. i mean you've never even mentioned an uncle pierce. becky! he fought in the war. -so? i bet you don't even know which war. why are you being like this? my mum's really upset. course she is, poor thing, he was her actual uncle. -now hurry up and do your wee. my parents just texted, they're nearly here. oh, fuck! well, i can't, i can't meet 'em like this, i'm in mourning. you'll be fine, you're a people person. -she sniggers go and do your wee. i don't want my parents smelling your stinky piss. it doesn't stink. it stinks of sugar puffs. -he fought in the war. he fought in one of the wars. i hope you're collecting the clippings. course, i am. good. -fed up finding your toenails everywhere. (oh, fuck.) so, er, when did you last see your uncle pierce? just shut up and put that plate away. doorbell rings -cos you never mentioned him in the seven months i've known you. oh, becky, please. just keep them at the door, i'm getting changed. hi. hi. -hello, you all right, mum?

yeah, i think so. can i get anyone a drink? -jill? can i have a cup of tea, steve? no. yeah, course you can. white, no sugar, please. -well, that's funny. that's how i take it. nigel? i'm fine, thanks, steve. i didn't ask if you was fine, i asked if you wanted a drink. -yeah, i'm all right, thanks, steve. sure?

stop worrying about lee. just be yourself. -how am i supposed to do that? i'll have a look at that fridge now, shall i? ah, nigel. it's the hero of the hour. i'll take these through to mum. -right. thanks, becks. coming home tonight? no, i'll stay here. are you sure? -yeah. ok. steve seems nice. yeah. i think he's a bit nervous. -yeah... he doesn't mean anything bad by it. er, well, let me know if you need a hand, nigel. yeah, will do, lee. steve. -steve. sorry, steve. you look like him. right. don't worry. -so i hear you're going bowling this afternoon, nigel? yeah, we're in a league. brilliant. yeah, we meet up every sunday and book a lane for the day and practise all afternoon, play a match in the evening, have a few beers. that sounds fantastic, nig. -nigel. nigel. so what is it, like friends from work or..? normally it's me, lee, lee's dad, who's also called lee, arnold, who runs the scouts - used to be lee's akela. -did he? but since lee's been in afghanistan, his cousin mick's been coming down. what's he doing in afghanistan? fighting the taliban. ok. -so, see my uncle who, er, who died. he actually fought in the war. your nan's brother? yeah, my...my uncle. nan's brother. -this is the section on veils. oh, that's nice. i think laura would look lovely in a veil. just something to, you know... yeah. -not hide her face, but... i know what you mean. yeah. so how was...how was homebase? did you get anything? -yeah. yeah, it was good, actually. you know much about tiling a floor? er... no. -oh, ok. it's, erm, it's...it's, it's nice we have actually got this moment together, nigel, cos i, i wanted to have a word with you about, well, about rebecca and my... well, my feelings for her she's, erm... well, she's... -she's a really special person, as i mean i'm sure you know. oh, you stupid fuck. sorry? you silly fucking sod. er... -ok. doorbell rings you're a silly fucking idiot, aren't you? yep. there's nothing wrong with the fridge. -you just turned the thermostat down. the what? you know what a thermostat is? er, yeah, course. mm. -my mum's got one on her wall. there's nothing wrong with the fridge, you just turned the thermostat down, you twat. total fucking pillock. nigel laughs how's it going? -hello, love. hey, laura, it's great to see you. careful, i'm wearing a brooch. oh, sorry, it's just... it's just great to see you. -wow, you look amazing. it's nice of you to notice, for once. are you ok? yeah, yeah, great. we're getting on like a house on fire. -how's the fridge? you want to tell them? erm, well, er, well, there was a problem with the thermostat, but, er, nigel flew to the rescue and fixed it. ah, good. well done, love. -well done, dad. "problem with the thermostat"? yeah! anyone want a chip? i made them especially, after the fridge broke. -didn't break. stopped working. i won't, thank you, steve, we're about to go to a wedding shop, so... oh, i love weddings! i love 'em. -i can't wait. are you taking the piss? no, no, i actually... actually can't wait. i was saying to rebecca earlier, weren't i? -i think it's going to be the highlight of the year. well, steve, we haven't finalised the invitations, as of yet. ok. but he'll be invited? i'm a bridesmaid. -well, no, sshh. it doesn't matter. there are limited places, mate, i mean... you've only been going out seven months. it's costing us over 20 quid a head. -that's, er... that's fine, that's fine. i don't, i... thank you. i don't mind, i don't mind paying for myself, if it's a, if it's a problem. -shall we move into the bedroom, rather than being all scrunched up in here? oh, i've got a lovely wedding magazine for you, laura. oh, thanks, mum. it's got all the latest trends in it. veils are very fashionable this year. -i don't want a veil, mum, i want everyone to see my face. we should get going. the shops shut at four - only gives us three hours. you said it was shatterproof. there's no such thing as completely shatterproof, otherwise they'd make planes out of it. -muffled noises and bumping ooh, that'll be dan. he lives upstairs. he's a funny one, isn't he, beck, er, rebecca? yeah, he's an odd one. -i mean, i shouldn't be mean, but he came round today with a...with a new girlfriend. strange lady. they made a funny pair, didn't they? very odd. mmm. -mayo? muffled noises and bumping you'll have a chip, won't you, nigel? i'm all right. sure? -sure i'm sure. muffled yelling and bumping from above: yes! yes! -yes! well, er... that was awkward. all chuckle oh, god! -bumping above restarts it's a...it's a lovely day, isn't it, jill? yes. spring's in the air. yeah. -and evenings are getting lighter. rumpus above continues it was a bit cold yesterday, though, laura? it was a bit chilly, yes, steve. you just...you don't know what to do, do you? -do you? "do i take a jumper? do i not take a jumper?" yes, exactly. rumpus above continues i'm thinking of becoming a community support officer. are you? -are you, steve? yep. just to give something back, you know. or i'm going to mentor a troubled teenager. ok. -or donate my bone marrow. rumpus from above gets louder feel sorry for the poor sod who gets your bone marrow. laura guffaws dad. -nigel. i feel sorry for him, as well. come on, then, let's get going. his bone marrow's probably as useless as the rest of him. but there's no need to point it out. -maybe you should get going. yes, i think that's a good idea. oh, already? no, we've only just started. well, some of us have got weddings to plan. -right, well, er... well, er, thanks for fixing the fridge. didn't need fixing. yeah, it... yeah, he's just being modest. -well, it was, erm, it was lovely to meet you both. so i'll see you in the week? i'll be staying at home wednesday, i think. steve's seeing his mum. hey, steve. -ooh - people. hello, everyone. er, this is dan. i'm steve's friend from upstairs. it's a neighbour. -nice to meet you. er, this is, erm, my, erm, friend, paris. we were just, er, going to the cash point. ok. i'll explain later. -ok dan, see you. well, it was really nice to meet you both. good luck with the job search, steve. yeah. and let us know if we can help. -we have a family friend that's in the army, don't we? yeah. he's in afghanistan at the moment. they're always looking for new recruits. oh, great, thanks, jill. -wow, wow, wow, much appreciated. nice to meet you, steve. it's nice to meet you, too, nigel. you know what? we should do this again sometime, now that i'm part of the family. -bye, then. bye. tara. call you in the week. see you later. -bye. bye. bye. bye! bye! -bye. bye! bye. see ya. well... -that was a success. not a people person, am i? no! course not. fuck! -subtitles by red bee media itd e-mail subtitling@bbc.co.uk ¶ the simpsons... ¶ it was so, at the time, insanely edgy. that show was a huge, huge influence. -springfield is a magical land that's built for comedy writers. the simpsons actually made my career. ...this isn't about show business. it's not the traditional liberal, politically correct family, -but how dull would that be? ...hoo-hoo! it's hard not to love homer. my favorite character is probably ralph. i just can't say enough about brockman. -i'd hire him. to see something like this just rise out of the manure pile that was animation was just... pretty amazing. -if you want to be considered one of the great writers in comedy, you kind of have to take a little tour through the simpsons. marge is one of a kind... in many ways. i never saw marge in that way. -i never looked at her as a sex object. i do now. it's almost like if you like the simpsons... it's like somebody liking dogs. you gotta be a little distrustful of someone... -"i hate dogs." how could you hate a dog? hi, i'm morgan spurlock. when fox asked me to make a special celebrating the simpsons' 20th anniversary, -like any good simpsons geek, i immediately said yes. ...but then i realized how far i'd have to go and how much ground i'd have to cover. in an attempt to understand the epidemic spread of yellow fever, i'm gonna take you around the country and across the globe -to find out why this show has become both the cash cow and sacred golden entertainment calf worshipped by the entire world. my dad loves the simpsons. i love the simpsons. i'll hear from the people -on the front lines of obsessive fandom... if it says "the simpsons" on it, i have to have it. explore how the simpsons have undermined america's status as the most beloved country in the world... and discover how the show has touched the lives of millions. -this is the simpsons 20th anniversary special-- in 3d! on ice! it all started 22 years ago, when a young cartoonist by the name of matt groening -was summoned to the altar of hollywood legend, mister jim brooks. i had been an underground cartoonist for 10 years before i got the hollywood call. it was about time! i had finished my first movie, -and as a gift, somebody i was working with gave me a framed copy of one of matt's life in hell cartoons, and it was "the 12 ways to die in los angeles" and the last two was " failure" and "success." and i just loved it and hung it up. -the thought was on the tracey ullman show to have our bumpers be actually entertainment things, and we decided to do cartoons, and i thought of matt right away. i got called into the office. while i was waiting, i found out that maybe -whatever i did, in this fledgling network, i was gonna lose control of. and i thought, i've got my comic strip, life in hell. that's what i was gonna do. i said, "forget that, i gotta save the bunnies for myself." so i made up new characters on the spot, i drew the simpsons, -named them after my own family, because that's a whole other psychodrama and... the rest is history. there's nothing to worry about. now everyone go to sleep. -dan castellaneta and i were there, and then they hired nancy cartwright and yeardley smith to play the two kids, and lucky me, i think tracey was too tired... "tracey, you're busy rehearsing," -'cause i was pretty much in everything, "so julie, dan, would you come up to the booth and do these voices?" i read for bart, and that was fairly short-lived, and then they said, -"here's a picture of his sister lisa-- she's eight." so i went up... : like that, to lisa simpson. it was just matt groening and me, and i went in and i said, "hey, do you mind... -i was here to read for the girl, but do you mind if i read for bart?" : "blah blah blah blah blah...." "oh, my god, that's him, that's bart!" hired me on the spot. -: behold! neanderthal man! fox approached jim brooks about doing these little, short simpsons cartoons as a tv special. -i talked to him and i said, "no, no, no, we gotta do a whole series." they committed what for them was an enormous amount of money, you know, because they were almost broke. there had not been a primetime animated series on television for a generation, and it was considered a risky thing to do. -i took the job here, i had fun, but i didn't tell anyone what i was doing, 'cause i thought, "i've really hit rock bottom." sam simon called me and said, "we want to make you a regular on the show," and i said, "no." i used to say, "hey, guys, we're 13 and out." -like, "they're only gonna let us do 13, we'll do 13, we'll have fun, and then we're gone." maybe these 13 episodes will be like a cult... it will be a cult following. the show premiered as the highes t-rated show in the history of fox. -i remember a headline-- a headline! on the front page of the new york post... owned by the same person who owns the simpsons... that said, "simpsons beats cosby," then the number one show in the country. i'll never be in the beatles, i assume, but... -it's the closest thing i could ever imagine to that happening, where.... when this show came on the air, i couldn't believe how much attention it got. i think it's been the most successful spin-off... -ever. but it's a lot more than just a spin-off. the simpsons is an award-winning, record-breaking machine that has shattered expectations at every turn. and now, it's the longes t-running primetime show on television, -even passing both gunsmoke and the adventures of ozzie and harriet. well, if you ask me, that's a little too fast. it's won 25 emmys, 26 annies, six genesis awards, six writers guild of america awards, four people's choice awards, two british comedy awards, two kids' choice awards, -a prism, a satellite, and even a golden reel... ooh...! it's been called one of the best tv shows of all time, and the top show of the past 25 years. countless magazines have devoted their covers to america's favorite family. -but it's not just america. the simpsons has redefined the term "global phenomenon," airing in more than 90 countries and in over 45 different languages. and it's more than comedy genius. the simpsons is merchandising gold. -just about anything under the sun that can be manufactured has been sold with the simpsons logo on it. bed sheets... bottle openers... lunch boxes.... -you name it, they had it. quite literally, the simpsons have taken over the world. they have a star on the hollywood walk of fame... a house in vegas... a ride at universal studios. -they've been in our homes, on our streets, in our stores. they've been on stamps, on planes, and they've taken to the skies as balloons. in order to ensure that the pig doesn't cause any trouble, we do have a marksman on hand who'll be able to bring the pig down to earth. today, there's no escaping the grasp -of those stubby little yellow fingers. we wear simpsons clothing, we get simpson tattoos, we take simpson classes... we even speak simpsonese. -d'oh! d'oh! d'oh! in 2001, the word "doh" was officially added to the oxford english dictionary. -expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly." quite simply, it's more than just a show-- it's a multimillion-dollar comedic freight train and marketing juggernaut that's gone off the rails and has completely altered -the cultural landscape as we know it. this is the simpsons 20th anniversary special. a lot of shows give you a couple of characters-- maybe two or three guys, a couple of girls, and if you're lucky, a monkey. but the simpsons gives you an entire world. -from an enterprising entrepreneur to a crack police squad to a young, idealistic politician, springfield is populated by just about every character known to man. dr. nick... comic book guy... -lenny and carl... frank grimes... milhouse... barney... flanders... -chief wiggum... sideshow bob... hans moleman... the bouvier sisters. they built this world of relatable characters, you know, -like mr. burns and chief wiggum and moe the bartender, and it started to feel like people's towns. springfield becomes a great place to parody and caricature any aspect of american town or city life. -beautiful, huh? you know, the one thing i was thinking about springfield is that it's all the side characters, too-- it's not just the family. apu, i think, is probably my favorite character. ¶ homer's a delightful fella, sorry 'bout the salmonella. ¶ -i like apu 'cause he's always in a great mood and when you're writing him, you have to be in a great mood. you're always kind of smiling. how much is your penny candy? surprisingly expensive. -unlike every single other person in springfield, he works really hard. i like moe because he reminds me of a lot of my uncles... growing up. if i'm not smiling when your check comes, your meal's on me-- uncle moe! -i just walked into a room with matt groening and sam simon to do moe the bartender, who i made sound like pacino, you know... "i'm dying here!" so i made this... -sound gravelly, and then that was moe. here, i, uh... brung you some posies. i love moe's sort of misanthropic nature . when i catch you, -i'm gonna pull out your eyes and shove them down your pants so you can watch me kick the crap out of you, okay? ! having been the mayor of cincinnati, -and then i see mayor quimby, he's... very corrupt. if you speak like a kennedy, you're halfway home. ducking this issue calls for real leadership. he truly is the most patronizing politician -i've ever seen in my life. i'm a bad wittle boy. with the corruption, the graft, the sexual escapades, the heavy drinking... yeah, no, it's just a typical day at the office. -i think my favorite character is probably mr. burns. why is the richest and oldest man in the world living in springfield? why isn't he in new york city or buenos aires or rome? -no, he's in springfield. he's gonna make a tuxedo out of our puppies! if someone could just put me out in a pasture somewhere, in a beautiful part of spain, and say, "your job is just... -we'll pay you a dollar a year, and you can have some cheap red wine, and just think of weird things for mr. burns to say and do..." i would take that job. -smithers is really funny because, you know, you're really not sure about his sexual preference. glaad counts smithers as a gay character because the show has definitely told us that he's gay. we would love the character of smithers -to progress by becoming more open about his sexual orientation in the community, you know. maybe he kind of starts a gay employee resource group down at the plant. kent brockman has, in his own little world, got it goin' on. if you can fake the everyman thing, you've got it made, -and that's clearly what kent has made his bones doing. i don't know much, but i do know a few things about television news, and to get it bull's-eye, every time, well, a tip of the stetson to them. he's got a little bit of that pomposity going, which we forgive, -because television anchors do something special. we get to tell people what happened. but as vast as the world of springfield may seem, it was all inspired by the gray, cold, wet, and sleepy hamlet of portland, oregon. many of the characters on the show are named after streets in portland. -i had this idea: the streets in northwest portland are all in alphabetical order, and i thought it would be really fun if people would be driving down 23rd street and they would see kearney, lovejoy, quimby, flanders, terwilliger... the only reason there are not more characters is 'cause i just couldn't think of -the names of the streets off the top of my head. i'm off to the city of roses to see some springfieldian sites, including the real inspiration for springfield elementary. ...so you are the principal here at springfield elementary. i am, yup. -how does it feel, you know, knowing that you are kind of the model school? it's all sinking in right now. are you different than principal skinner? i'm a awful lot different than skinner. i not having an affair with any of the teachers. -not yet! not... well, yeah-- we won't go there. another hometown icon that's resurfaced in the simpsons is rusty nails. rusty nails was the inspiration-- -in a kind of vague, weird, creepy way-- for krusty the clown. matt was sitting in the studio audience, and he was probably around 14 years of age, and making notes. -i went to him and asked what he was doing and he said, "well, i'm gonna have a show of my own." and i said, "great, go for it." the difference is krusty is jewish and totally corrupt. krusty, i... -shut your hole! and rusty nails is a very, very religious, christian clown. he's really sweet and nice. hi, girls and boys! post the other clowns getting involved in fast food, -nobody came to you and said, "we'd love to have you be the face of our food chain"? and krustyburger is the official mea t-flavored sandwich of the 1984 olympics! no. no? this is my apology to rusty nails, if there's any inference -that the character of krusty is anything like rusty. turns out, portland didn't just inspire the simpsons... the simpsons also inspired portland. donuts... is there anything they can't do? -tell me about homer simpson. is he an inspiration for voodoo doughnuts? how could homer not be an inspiration to voodoo doughnuts? i mean, the man could... the man could keep us in business for years alone. -have all the donuts in the world! homer donut. bacon donut. paradise. the biggest reason the simpsons -has been such a huge success isn't just the cast or the great writing, it's the fans, and some of them have interesting ways of showing their appreciation. so i hear you have a milhouse tattoo. i do. -i've always liked milhouse, and growing up, like, as a jewish nerd with glasses, with divorced parents, it's hard to have any representation on tv. no matter what hits him, you know what i mean... he can watch his dad cry alone in, like, an apartment, -but at the same time still, like, have the gusto to carpe diem the next day. milhouse...! milhouse? ! -a milhouse tattoo? ! how can someone with glasses that thick be so stupid? you've gotta be a committed fan to tattoo milhouse on your arm. but if you think a milhouse tattoo shows commitment, -you ain't seen nothin' yet. apparently, this is the sickest, craziest, biggest, best, most dedicated simpsons fan with the best tattoo on the face of the earth. that is amazing. -all the way from this love handle all the way over to that one. that's my kind of crazy. you think you're a fan? that's a fan. that's a fan. -i've had guys chase me down at conventions, telling me, you know, "on episode gf5409, what did that mean when..." and i'm like, "oh, god, help, somebody help me!" and there's no better place for these guys to get chased by rabid fans than san diego comic-con. -...there's a certain uninhibited sensibility that runs throughout comic-con, and after spending five minutes here, i could tell that these were my kind of people. all of my life lessons have come from the simpsons. if i learned anything from the simpsons, -it's that if anything goes wrong, i didn't do it and to blame it on someone else. in this case, morgan spurlock. we held a special casting session to find the truly devoted simpsons fans-- -the cream of the obsessed crop. ...so tell us why you are the simpsons super-fan. at least 18 of the 30 days in any given month, i'm wearing a simpsons shirt. there's zero reasons not to b e- it's the greatest thing on tv. well, it comes on at 6:00, 7:30, and 11, so i try to catch all those. -what's the cat lady's name? eleanor abernathy. what's kent brockman's given name? kenny brockelstein? how much does bart sell his soul for? -five dollars. which of the bullies is jewish? kearney? i forget... no, dolph. -well, you gotta know the answer. which of the writers is jewish? oh, geez... uh... all of them? -have you ever been bullied by bullies? um... i think everybody up here has. yeah. yeah. -this is lisa... in " the secret war of lisa simpson." if we air this on fox, they have to tattoo matt groening's name on every drawing. : -homer, i think you should stop drinking. : oh, sure, marge. i'm gonna stop doing something that makes me have fun. give us a "d'oh!" -d'oh! "fox sucks!" fox sucks! "i am an unauthorized homer." i am an unauthorized homer simpson. -now when you first saw comic book guy, did you say, "i'm gonna turn into that?" or were you already sort of like that? : well, physically i was already like that. -how do you feel being at comic-con? worst... insert noun... ever. as fantastic as comic-con was, -i had to get back on the road to find more fanatics. i had to meet the collectors. i found jeremy wilcox in queens, who has stuffed his 10x10 bedroom with simpsons memorabilia. ...you sleep in here at night, too. -sadly, yes. ...then there's noel bankhead of north carolina, who curates what he calls " the simpsonian institute." if it says "the simpsons" on it, i have to have it. yeah. -i don't care what it i s- it can be a used sock. but if i was truly gonna find the simpsoniest one of them all, i'd have to head across the pond. ...i'm going to the home of glynn williams, who apparently has the largest collection of simpsons memorabilia on the planet. -like, reportedly -- this is what we read in the paper-- he's got, like, 30,000 pieces of simpsons memorabilia in his house. hi, how are you? hi, i'm morgan. i'm glynn. -glynn, how are you? come on in, morgan. oh, my gosh... it's already... it's already here in the hallway! -it's everywhere. wow. gosh, i mean, looki t- they got life-sized marge. squishy-flavored. it's unbelievable... -and a little frightening. ...his collection was pretty overwhelming. that is, until i realized that this was just the tip of the iceberg. ...no way. welcome to my world. -...this is the treehouse. the treehouse of horror. glynn sacrificed christmas presents and birthday presents, so people in the family and friends have bought him simpsons stuff. it's an investment-- see that? -it's the grandchildren's inheritance. so does he have a list of things? he's like, "if you're gonna buy me something, buy me this, and by the way, here's the link on ebay"? yes! -you do that? ! yes. this is mainly glassware and china. this is kind of school stuff-- pencils, pencil cases, desk tidies... -car care kits, valet kits. there is not a product that they won't put their name on. no. ...i thought glynn was the only crazy one in the house, until i was led into his wife's secret room. -turns out, collecting runs in the family. ...you're not allowed to say anything. no, no, i'm just as sad as him, i'm afraid. everybody says that. ...sad or not, if it weren't for people like glynn, -we probably would have lost homer years ago. so cheers, glynn, and thanks. moby, i'd love for you to tell me why you are such a fan of the simpsons. it's funny, and it's smart, and it's social satire. -my personal favorite song is "the mr. plow theme song." ¶ call mr. plow ¶ ¶ that's my name ¶ -¶ that name again is mr. plow! ¶ you can imagine, you know, a zen monk sitting on the top of a mountain for 15 years -just thinking about that. like, "what is identity made manifest through this mr. plow?" i've done seven interpretations of " the mr. plow theme song." -the blues version... the psychedelic version... the punk rock version. this is a really embarrassing, old school hip-hop version of "mr. plow." -¶ said what's the name? ¶ ¶ mr. plow ¶ ¶ what's the name? -¶ ¶ mr. plow ¶ ¶ said what's the name? ¶ -¶ mr. plow ¶ ¶ m-i-s-t-e-r plow ¶ ¶ said what's that name? it's mr. -plow ¶ ¶ you don't need to worry if you don't know how ¶ ¶ i'm there when you're sleeping with my snowplow ¶ ¶ it's how i got the name- that's mr. plow ¶ -¶ after sunset, before the sunrise ¶ ¶ i'm there with the plow before you open your eyes ¶ ¶ one , two , three ¶ ¶ said what's the name? ¶ -¶ mr. plow ¶ ¶ what's that name? ¶ ¶ mr. -plow ¶ ¶ said what's the name? ¶ ¶ mr. plow ¶ -¶ m-i-s-t-e-r plow... plow. ¶ promise you'll never do that again. all right. if the simpsons were a live-action tv show, -they probably would have been yanked off by minute three of their first episode, but as an animated tv show, they can get away with murder. and a whole lot more. this is for the united states of america! oh, no! -chinese fire drill! serious this time! shut up-pa your mouth! so here's a show that comes on at a time when most shows that breach this kind of subject matter -would have to be on later... and it gets away with it. you could make all kinds of inappropriate jokes and get away with it because they're big, yellow people with googly eyes. -but being animated hasn't stopped them from courting real-life controversy. remember george bush the first was all upset about it? make american families a lot more like the waltons and a lot less like the simpsons. -remember him? you thought he was bad at the time. barbara bush, the first lady of america, she called it the stupidest thing she'd ever seen. i think now, "hey, look at your kid," you know? -nowadays we get, you know, you know, we get for making fun of jesus and for sodomy jokes and whatnot, but back then it was, "this kid is talking back to his parents!" you don't think much of me, do you, boy? no, sir! -i think the best comedy is always offending somebody. i think it takes kind of a healthy disrespect for everything americans hold dear. and a lot of times we've been lucky in offending exactly the right people. we'd say, "well, this will certainly offend these people who we don't like," -and it does, and we're quite thrilled with that. and bill donohue of the catholic league has made an entire career out of being offended. the catholic league was founded in 1973 by father virgil blum. we're basically here just to hold up a stop sign -when people may cross the line into disdain, disparagement, insult. november of '98 in particular was one of the first times that the phones were ringing off the hook about the simpsons. mom, can we go catholic so we can get communion wafers and booze? -what are catholics supposed to be, a piñata? are we supposed to be like, like, the, the guy that you can just beat up on? one of my favorite offensive moments was one when we were trying not to be offensive, but were accused of it. it was a super bowl episode. -you got this gal, you know, skimpily-- a buxom girl-- and she's running around with the big cross, saying, "hey, it's a great thing to be catholic-- look, everything is changing in our society." it leaves an impression in the mind of the viewer that the catholic church really is something -that's fair game to be ridiculed and mocked in some form or another. the network calls and says, "you can't say 'the catholic church'." what it does is i think it eats away at the moral prestige of the catholic church. and i tried to explain, "that isn't the joke. -"we're not attacking their religion. "it's just a crazy association with this commercial-- it's about super bowl commercials," and they kept arguing the point, "no, it's offensive, it's offensive," and finally, you know, he said, "all right, i'll tell you, we can compromise. -could you change it to methodist?" how about methodist? no! to all you catholics out there, we meant nothing by it. bill donohue may be overly concerned with the lasting effects -the simpsons has had on the catholic church, but that's nothing compared to what the simpsons have done to nuclear power. here i am at the nuclear power plant in port gibson, mississippi. ...i'm gonna see if the simpsons does these uranium jockeys justice. i'm morgan. -i'm richard. richard, pleasure to meet you. so how do you think homer and the simpsons portray nuclear power? it's definitely not reality. -gum used to seal crack in cooling tower. plutonium rod used as paperweight. i think it's probably fair to say that most americans learn about nuclear energy from the simpsons. i don't think anybody in our industry would tell you -that it's a fair representation. chair goes round, chair goes round... where is sector 7-g? female automated voice: warning: -problem in sector 7-g. i don't know what that is. that's where homer works. there are no homers in the control room. in fact, he wouldn't even pass the psychology evaluation -to get into the pipeline to try to be a nuclear power employee. there's a problem with the reactor? ! we're all gonna die! ahh! -ahh! run! we hear a lot about blinky the fish. and nothing irks the nuclear power industry quite as much as springfield's favorite little mutant. -really, a lot of the facilities we have today are home to endangered species-- manatees live near the sites in florida. aah! an oogly-boogly! no three-eyed fish around here? -no three-eyed fish. no two-headed dogs? no two-headed dogs. have you seen any three-eyed fish in the water around the...? i have not. -i once saw a tw o-headed cow in kansas. did you? i did. i've never been to kansas, but i have seen a two-headed cow. see? -my name is professor paul halpern of the university of the sciences, and i would like to talk about the episode "two cars in every garage and three eyes on every fish." all right! -three-eyed fish! in real life, three-eyed fish, whenever they've been found, have been only hoaxes. here, we have an example of a fish. as you can see... this fish has two eyes. therefore, the fish found near springfield's nuclear power plant -could not have been real. there's a lot of reasons why the simpsons are loved by so many different people... but there's one reason in particular that folks keep coming back to. what do you love about the show? -homer. homer... homer... homer.... homer... -homer... homer. homer simpson. why do you like homer? 'cause he's such an idiot. -shut up, brain, or i'll stab you with a q-tip. a guy like homer seems a lot of fun, but really from a distance. he just lives so in the moment. he's so all-id. he is as happy as anybody can be. -he is as angry as anybody can be. he is as loving as anybody can be. he is as petty as anybody can be. homer, you're not not talking to me, and secondly i heard what you said. -i think it was john swartzwelder who said that writing homer, you have to approach it as if you were writing a dog who can talk. ooh, floor pie! whoa! -but as much as we americans love homer, turns out that all around the world, that love is universal. aw... it's possible that they look at homer and they go, "that's what americans are like," -so there's a little bit of laughing at us and not with us. mmm... fattening. he's fat, he's lazy, he's obnoxious, he's crazy. americans, they like the finer things in life, -like donuts and beer and hot dogs and pretzels. but you love him, yeah? everyone loves homer simpson. i think everyone can see a bit of themselves in homer or at least one of the other characters. -stupid tv... be more funny! it's one of the shows that puts down america, that makes fun of america, that doesn't have to have the attitude, "america's number one and there's nothing wrong with us." -: u-s-a! u-s-a! u-s-a! what does the show teach you about america? ¶ señor plow... ¶ -no country has been more outspoken in their love for the simpsons than argentina. here in the land of tango, mate, and copyright infringement, the simpsons movie was the highes t-grossing film of 2007, and homer is everywhere on the streets of buenos aires. argentines love the simpsons so much that they actually have a duff brewery. -lucas pouyau started it back in 2007. how did you start bottling duff beer? uh... we was watching the simpsons. who wants to party? -! i went to the kitchen, i opened the fridge, and i think, "why you no have a duff here?" yeah... i want a duff! -yeah. yeah. what's been the response from america? are they happy that you're making duff beer? uh... -i don't know. americans love it so much, in fact, that fox has a pending lawsuit against the duff brewery. oh, yeah... are they like your family? -yes. yeah? we have, uh, people like moe, people like seymour skinner, teachers like krabappel who are single and desperately looking for a man. i have a... -a tattoo. you have a tattoo. yes, it's of the stonecu... cutters. oh, the stonecutters. -yes, it's on my back. oh, that. it's just a birthmark... and i'll thank you not to stare! to the simpsons! -to the simpsons! why is the simpsons so successful? people have a lot of theories, as to why that's the case. here's the one thing no one talks about: their eyes look like boobs. -i feel like i could go anywhere in the world, and if they were about to put a knife in me, i could quickly draw, you know, a bart and hold it up and go... "uh... uh uh... -write." : and they'd be like, "ah... let him go. let this one go." -i'm not sure what country i'm in when i do that, but... this is the greatest thrill of my life! whoo-hoo! but as much as the world loves homer, there's no question that he's caused his family -a share of rocky moments over the years. as a parent, what does the show teach you about parenting? what not to do. yeah. homer's not a perfect dad, bart's obviously not a perfect son, -marge is just trying to hold it all together... it is so dysfunctional of a family! what was that? ah, who cares? by having a nuclear family and having them dysfunctional -tapped into everyone feeling kind of like their own family is dysfunctional. it's just hard not to listen to tv. it's spent so much more time raising us than you have. i think the simpsons could very well be on our show. -it'd be such a poster for dysfunction that, frankly, i would well up just watching them. i need a hug. uh... i don't want you even to talk about dysfunction. -this is a perfect couple! cara mia... dr. ruth: they love each other. jim brooks always said that the reason we love homer -is 'cause marge loves homer, but i also think that we love homer because homer loves marge. no matter what else, when it comes down to it, the family sticks together. i don't think the simpsons would work -if you didn't believe that marge and homer loved each other, and you do. the secret is that they talk to each other, that they have a relationship. i'm a lucky woman. and i'm a wonderful man. that they don't just have sex. -actually, the sex is really good... yeah. heh-heh. ooh... one of the things i love about current fandom is that people are so invested in the show that they are willing to criticize the show to our faces! the people who say, as it was five years ago!" it's like, "well, neither are you, if that's the problem." there's nobody who ever went online to read comments about anything they've done that doesn't come away with one... one sullen someplace... who says the thing that will... that you have to have surgically removed from your brain. -i think the internet message boards used to be a lot funnier 10 years ago... and i've sort of stopped, uh, stopped reading their new posts. over the past 20 years, the simpsons family has literally traveled around the world. 10,000 yen for coleslaw? i'll endanger you! and while most countries are grateful to be featured on the show, not every nation is in love with america's first family of television. -the simpsons are going to antarctica! next year. this year, brazil. in 2002,  caused quite a stir when the family visited rio de janeiro. portrayals of teleboobies, kidnapping and colored rats were not taken lightly. -ooh, they look like skittles! i met with paula gobe, former head of the foreign press in brazil, to find out why the country of sex and samba was so offended by the casual observations of the simpsons. ...did the people of brazil understand that  offends everybody? no, they didn't understand it. you know, like an adolescent, they are still very sensitive to criticism. -the sore that it raised is still there in rio de janeiro... seven years later. with limited time in rio, i had to check out what the city is most famous for: parties and beaches. and if i learned everything from this episode of  it's what to wear. excuse me, americans, there is a dress code on this beach. when you're in brazil, we have a thing that we call the brazilian way. -the drunkenness, the ambiguous sexuality. we were born like this! we're not, like, bad people. well, i thought the people were most offended by the monkeys. the fact of these monkeys running after them in the shantytown. -i am like sugar to them! it made rio look like a very backwards city. do you feel like that episode hurt brazil? very much, very much. brazil has lots of structural problems. -so, like, problems with the security, problems with the health system. no monkey gangs? no monkey gangs. no? o.k. -there's monkeys in rio de janeiro, and actually i think that's something that's really beautiful. the beauty, the sun, the people, the music, the rhythm, the vibration. the rats painted like skittles. right. for stirring up controversy has always been a badge of honor. -but it turns out brazil isn't the only place where the show has sown the seeds of unrest. scotland's a far cry from the tranquil streets of springfield, but the country of haggis and braveheart is home to one famous springfieldian. willie? ! while there's no question scotland is willie's homeland, his actual hometown is still a matter of debate. on opposing sides of the divide: -former glasgow provost liz cameron and aberdeen football coach mark mcghee. each of them is leading their respective city in a fierce battle to claim willie as their own. ...how do you know that groundskeeper willie is a glaswegian? some years ago, he fell in love with an english nanny. shary bobbins and i were engaged to be wed back in the old country. -she spurned him! he was completely and utterly bereft. suddenly, the ugliest man in glasgow wasn't good enough for her! for glasgow, that's all the evidence they need. but 145 miles to the north, in the highland town of aberdeen, a very different story is being told. -the town and its very popular football team know for sure that willie is one of them. muh? huh? what? go, aberdeen! -go, aberdeen! i met with coach mark mcghee to get the full story. ...apparently they say he's glaswegian. i think all the evidence for me points to him being an aberdonian. he doesn't speak with a glaswegian accent, he doesn't dress in any sort of glaswegian way. -and aberdeen football club has more than just willie's word as proof of where his allegiance lies. we do of course have the photographs that we've unearthed. you can see clearly willie, here celebrating a goal. even with mark mcghee's photographic evidence, the feud shows no sign of dying. so the world may never know from where willie actually hails, but one thing is certain: -he definitely left his ginger-haired mark in the hearts and minds of those who know him stateside. north americans were asked what reminds them of scotland, what do they associate when they think of scotland and the scots. over the years, scotland's given a number of gifts to the world. there's the tv, the telephone, there's penicillin, deep-fried mars bars, loch ness monster, dolly the cloned sheep, sean connery and even susan boyle. and eventually when it came back, there was only one winner, and it was groundskeeper willie. -ah, 'tis no more that what god gave me, you puritan pukes! the simpsons has been on the air for such a long time that even die-hard fans probably take it for granted. at this point, the show's like running water or electricity or the absence of the berlin wall, but to truly appreciate the impact the show has had, we have to do the unthinkable and imagine what it would be like if the simpsons never existed. if the simpsons never existed, the world would have been destroyed in a nuclear holocaust a long time ago. this is the show that has kept the world alive and the world laughing instead of killing. -desolation! i mean, cultural desolation... without the simpsons... it'd be like, you know, a cormac mccarthy novel-- just scorched earth, nothing. i think i would be loading tires in a warehouse and i'd be drawing pictures of the foreman on the walls during my breaks. i would be a professional ballroom dancer. -i'd probably be looking for acting jobs. my world would be a lot worse... ...i would have to say. i'd be a lot poorer. i wouldn't be living in malibu. -i would have a much uglier wife, i think. i don't know what the world would be like without beethoven's fifth, you know? if had never existed, i think i would probably be a math teacher. probably be still back in colorado. yeah, i don't think i'd be doing a whole lot with my life. -yeah, i don't think so. i don't know what we would have done. we'd still have, uh, so you think you can dance... and america's next dance... and, uh,  now that's what i call dancing... i don't want to imagine tha t- it's a horrible thought. a world without the simpsons. how ridiculous. -so my goal from the very beginning was to invade pop culture. that was my goal as an underground see how far i could carry this. and i consider every aspect of the simpsons beyond the show as part of that whole strategy. my advice to any cartoonist out there is to try to make yourself laugh. don't worry about what other people think is funny; do what you think is funny. -that's where the best stuff comes from. that wasn't even in 3-d! and where were the ice skaters? again, tv, you have misled us. stupid, lying fox! -oh, wait! here comes something! o.k., kids, here it comes! put on your 3-d glasses! 3... 2... 1! -i liked it! if you had to write the ending of the simpsons how would it end? marge is gonna take a good, hard look at homer and say, "he's so stupid. and he'd screwed us over so many times." it'd be humorless, it won't be funny... it'll just be her looking at homer and saying, -"you are such a stupid son of a bitch. "i... you're endangering my children, "you've destroyed the town 600,000 times, "you... you're a threat to mankind. i'm leaving you, i'm leaving you forever." -honey... the door blew shut... oh, fine. ah! so. when did you last see your brother? case worker: -at 9:00 o'clock this morning, your brother casey, who's 14 years old, visited the foster parents of your younger brother, severino, 10 months. and abducted him. did you know about this? -this ain't nothing to do with me. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. ah. ah. do you want a drink, mate? -cheers. here, look. eleanor. ellie. two months and three days old. -i was in kandahar when she was born. nice. me a daddy. you know what, though? i'm going to do the right thing, man. -h: yeah? yeah. i mean, what happened to being a father, do you know what i mean? -kid needs a father. so you got a father, then, or... dead or something? fucked off. i'm fostered, me. -eight mums, three dads, two boyfriends, a granddad with a thing in his heart. what do you call them things? um, fucking pacemaker. yeah. -you know, they'll make your heart beat and that. yeah. yeah. he was good, that granddad. he got me in the army. -he's dead now. wait a minute. i've got a photo. that's him. that's my granddad. -left me his gaff down in wells. when my kids are, like, four or five, we're all going to go down there. make toast on the fire. take walks down the woods. -you know? proper family shit, do you know what i mean? here you are. here's the place, if you ever need someone to crash out or something. -someone to stay. get right tossed, do you know what i mean? cheers. casey: shouldn't go near dogs. -some dogs bite. not all dogs. but some dogs. woman outside: eddie! -you're in for it now. give it to me. what? where's my money, man? i don't have it. -you are so full of shit. h: that's my money and you have no right to steal it. i never stole nothing. now you said we could stay together. -you said if mum died, we'd be all right. because we've got cash of our own, and we could get a fish! i never said nothing about a fish. i found that money, man, it's mine. when they took sevy away, man, you didn't do nothing. -he's family. what you want me to do, case? huh? you want me to be mum? well, tough. -mum's dead. i know mum's dead. i know. so where's the money? inverness. -what? i've got to go to inverness, to find my dad, because he'll know what to do. you sent my money to inverness? yeah, to a po box. -and we've got to go to a delivery office and sign for it. and only the named person can sign for it. so you've got to come with us if you want to get it. i don't have to do nothing. -i've got sausages. the police come round. the police are after you. and when they get you, they're going to look you up, man. because you've gone and nicked a baby. -no, i ain't. you've nicked a baby. how can they say that. i ain't nicked nothing. how can i nick a baby that's my brother? -casey: mum loved it here. h: no, she didn't. we come here 'cause it was cheap. -well, i liked it. they're going to find you, case. you think the police can't find a boy with a baby if they want to? no, 'cause my dad'll take us in. -he ain't never even visited. yeah, but that's 'cause he lives in scotland. it's a long way. but when he sees us, he'll want us. i've seen you and i don't want you. -how do i know the money's really there? how do i know you haven't chucked it in a bin or spent it or something? 'cause i said so. and a promise is a promise. -ah. ah. ah! ah! ah, la la! -you seeing all these people, see? ain't they got jobs to go to? there ain't no table seats. i can't go nowhere without a table seat. been trying to ring you, girl. -where you been?

seema: -i've got to go. yeah. i'll call ya. okie-doke. okie-doke? -you say some funny shit, girl. you always this noisy? or maybe you think you're doing us a favor, listening in to private conversations. you're the one shouting. -i ain't shouting. i just got a big mouth. better get used to it. do you like westerns? oh, she loves them, boy! -she thinks she's some cowboy on a ranch somewhere. you know they used to use mules to put their provisions on? mules are half-horse, half-donkey. are they? which one's the mummy?

slag. do you know something, right? in afghanistan, they don't name their kids till they're about five. -how come? 'cause most of them don't live that long, so why bother? you ever think about getting out of the army? doing a run or something? go awol? -why'd i want to do that? it's the only home i've ever had, mate. think i should go down there? no. maybe i should go down there. -well, go down, then, if you want to. you will any way. what's that meant to mean? seems? you always do this. -find some boy. no i don't. don't mean nothing. just having a laugh, that's all. he's nice, though. -don't you think he's nice? i can give you a down payment right now. and there's loads more in my bag. please? please. -it's no good. i can't help you. but you can't abandon me like this. i mean, you're-- you're too kind for that. please. -i'm begging you. i'm sorry. i'm in no position to protect you. believe me. i feel safe with you. -you're wise and calm and steady. you're- you're like a mighty, ancient oak. half now, half later. do you want me to drive? -you seem a little-- i'm upset. these are in the way. you stole his boots? he doesn't need them anymore, does he? how come you have a gun? -oh, that's-- that's for work. what work? i'm, uh, undercover. a private detective. you just don't look the type. -what were you doing in here? i was, um, watching a client's wife. she had a tryst in a-- in a-- with a man in a car... on the fifth floor. a tryst. i've given you a down payment. -how much per week? a week? i'm too expensive. how much? 30,000. -all right, 30 thou. i'm gonna get out of here. i want round-the-clock protection. i'm sorry, no. get down! -quick! back up! run him over! you must be kidding! stop! -hang on. he's fine. what are you doing? get in! oh, get in! -get in! i just saved your life! you almost killed me! so we're quits. oh, shit! -shit! floor it! what? now! oh, my god! -where now? third street on the right. we'll get across town. well, then what? a discreet hotel. -we need to lie low. discreet? how about ridiculously overpriced? they'll be checking the cheaper hotels. no one will look for us here. -three-- three rooms, please. of course, sir. what name? smith. -smith. you have the same name? and your name, sir? tony. we'll just take the one room. -excuse me. what? ow! you can't be serious. who's paying for this? -you said you had plenty of money. and i mean to keep it that way. i'm sorry. i really can't sleep in a room with someone else. well, i can't imagine you get many requests. -i'll pay for my own room. it's not about the money, all right. round-the-clock protection, we said. how are you gonna protect me from another room? no. -wait. no! one room. one room's fine. why don't you settle this in 322? -it's one of our cheapest. are you're sure this is a safe place? of course i'm sure. i leave nothing to chance. oh, laetitia. -good morning, boss. have you seen mike? sorry, mr. ferguson, no. thank you, sir. mmm. -may i say-- oh, here we go. it would help if you could manage to behave with a little more decorum. hey, they have cable. three adults in one room. a minuscule room in a luxury hotel? -so what? so you got us noticed! with killers after you, you're discreet. you hide. you don't yell in hotel lobbies. -oh, that's a beautiful move. putting together a few passes now. that's it. oh, and he puts it wide! oh, my goodness. -he'll be kicking himself. which side do you sleep on? what? oh. i don't. -i keep watch. tony, you sleep with her. whatever. while we're here, please respect my living space. this is my area. -time's just going to fly by. i can tell. now just you change your tune, young lady. you were a lot less lippy in the car park, sobbing about ancient oaks. i didn't beg you to come, remember. -i didn't beg. offering a man ££30,000 to spend a week with you is scarcely playing hard to get. incredible. i have only known you for three hours, and already it would take me three days to list everything that i hate about you. oh, dear, oh, dear. -from six yards out, perhaps he should have done better than that. you're sure you won't come? it's been a long day. i just want some peace and quiet. i'll be in the bar. -don't be long. one thing though, mr. smith. yeah? did i hear you say she's paying you? you did. -i haven't got any money. don't worry. i'll look after you for free. in fact, you can help me look after her. great. -you probably need all the help you can get. so i'll be your assistant? apprentice. you know, tony, you're a fine young man. um... that's all. -there you are. i was wondering what the two of you were up to. i'm sorry, before. i was... unpleasant and-- and hostile even. i'm not usually like that. -well, don't worry. i was aggressive and annoying and, um, quite often like that. no. you can be pleasant. really? -yeah. when? i can't think of an example right now, but-- great. thank you. now. -now you're... being pleasant. you're not listening. i am. what were you were saying? -i was saying you were pleasant then for seven or eight seconds. you're eyeing up the barman. yeah. he fancies me. is that bothering you? -as a matter of fact-- why? do you fancy me? what? it's a simple enough question. of course not. -not at all. okay, that's what i thought. do you fancy him? is that it? no, it is not. -i would simply like you to listen if we're having a conversation. that's all. i couldn't care less if you have it away with the barman, the bellboy and all the other customers if you want to. it's none of my business. you're unbelievable. -hi. um, can i have a large glenfiddich, and, um, a cognac, and belvedere, and, um, a becks, and two small red wines and some peanuts. not all for you? no, the becks is for you. and my father will pay. -what do you weigh? you know, mike, you are the only genuine one in all this. genuine asshole. it's not my fault. not your fault? -you said not to hire another hit man. you said you'd handle it with barney. and now i'm left with one bodyguard. the incompetent fat one. stop shaking. -oh, stop shaking. why are you shaking? you think i'm angry with you, hmm? do you think i'm going to hit you? is that it? -it's funny. truth is, tonight i feel more like tears than anger. you understand we've lost her now. the vixen will have gone to ground. our chances of finding her are next to nil. -no, tonight... i am sad. you're sad too. i don't like to see sad people. go to the bathroom. -you just stay away from me. you ruined my evening. really? i was making friends. you were making a spectacle of yourself. -do you have any friends, i wonder? no, i can't imagine that you do. sorry. sorry, wrong room. no problem. -why are you always in the way? i fell asleep. that's all right. everythinghedoes is all right, isn't it? hey, you scuffed those boots. -ignore her. she's drunk. still, my reactions will be quicker now i've rested. in case anything happens, i can stay up with you. we can take it in turns. -fantastic. the two musketeers. putting them out to be cleaned. someone will steal them. god, you're not in the y.m.c.a. now. -ohh. and don't you try anything. right. who's going to take the first... watch? boss? -what? he's here. good. tell him to wait. i shan't be long. -just some coffee. can we just go? would you please let me go first? all clear. you don't say. -needless to say, we need to get rid of both of them. should've called me sooner. we tried to handle it ourselves. they killed barney! mike. -i can't look at you right now. go and buy me some cigarettes. would you feed our meter? feed your own sodding meter! and the name of this man who has caused you so much trouble? -i don't know his name. we never met. can you tell me anything about him at all? mike saw him. taller than average. -thinner than average. average looks. average mustache. victor maynard. you know him? -you know where he is? no, no one knows him. no one ever sees him, not even his clients. he's old-school. so how come you know what he looks like? -rumor. oh. actually, uh, he's a little bit more expensive than you are. we'll find out if he's worth it, at last. ahh. -help yourself. anything but the sausage. such largesse. why don't you just settle the bill? all right? -'cause if i don't get a minute without you, i will kill myself. hey, what the-- ohh. wait. please. -i didn't mean to hurt you. it was just good luck. freeze! put your hands up! oh, shit! -shit! you're shaking like a leaf. give me the gun. i'm serious! you know i'm a terrible shot. -i could easily aim at your head and blow your balls off. you tried to drown me. only a bit. i'm an ordinary, kind, peaceful person. just calm down. -take a deep breath. i am calm! that was an accident. you frightened me. try and find your ear, put it on some ice, and hospital can stitch it back on. -there's some ice in the minibar. quick! run! what? shit! -shit! i didn't even get a bathrobe. ah, yes, smith, smith and... tony. he tried to kill me! -in the bathroom with a big gun! wait! my ear! you sick bastard! put it on ice! -move! what, you shot his ear off? it was an accident! get the case! make sure you get them. -you've got a professional on the case now. mike, what are you doing? the girl. th-th-the mustache. huh? -they were here all the time in the hotel. the kid blew my ear off! boss! the mini! oh, for christ's sake. -get the car. get the car! you did what you had to do. did i? of course, yeah. -because you're a natural. they're following! faster. i can't go any faster. drive faster. -i'm doing my best. i'm still trying to get the hang of the car. it's a new car? well, new to me. i found it at a petrol station yesterday, keys and everything. -talk about luck. it's stolen? yes! they're gaining on us! right. -here. wh-what are you doing? change places. i'll put my feet on the pedals and slide under you. oh, god! -ooh! could you please move! i can't see a thing! well, you certainly seem to be getting a pretty good feel of everything. oh! -oh, my god! there's a baby! keep going. we're bigger. look out! -i think we've lost them. oh, you're not sure? do you want the sitting duck seat? no, i'd rather you did! stop bickering! -we need to get out of town. no, i like town. me too, but i never tried anything else, so i'm pretty open. look, we're driving a bullet-strafed stolen car... that's just been involved in a high-speed chase. we're being pursued by hired assassins, and by now, i imagine, every half-witted police officer in east london. -we're getting out of town! did you bring a tent? i have a safe place. we'll go there. is it as safe as the hotel? -i'm ignoring that. ow! can we stop? no. i need to pee. -we're not stopping. i pay you 30,000 a week. you do as i say. the next service station. i'm paid to protect you. -mostly, it seems, from yourself. ££30,000? yeah, exactly. i should be able to pee sitting down at that price. oh! -mr. smith, 30,000. that's pretty good money. yes, it is. i mean, i know it's dangerous, but i seem to be getting the hang of that side of things. so, me being your apprentice, -i thought we could put that on a more formal footing so i could get a cut. i can offer you six weeks' training... suspect observation, fake identities, a complete range of weapon skills-- handguns, sniper rifles, knives, explosives, the 17 methods of strangulation... and basic untraceable poisons. you need to know all that to be a private detective? you never know who you might be up against. okay. -go on. well, i can't offer you health cover or a pension scheme, but bed, board and laundry would be covered, as would a travel card for the greater london area. you'd take care of me? mmm, well, yes. and my name... is victor maynard. -come on! let's go! shit! hey! hey! -hey! get back here! the markup in that place is criminal. half this stuff's past its sell-by date. what's his problem? -unbelievably irresponsible! staggeringlyimmature! staggeringly! staggering! fig roll, anyone? -tsk, tsk, tsk. i'll have one. get lost. not fair! mr. maynard! -is that a cow? much bigger in person. god. what is this? it's my home. -your home? what's so strange about that? nothing. it was my grandfather's, my father's, and now it's mine. lift. -that was installed for my mother. she lived here with me until... quite recently. is she dead? no. just infirm. -are you close? why do you ask? i was being nice. what's the matter with you? look what i found! -snowy. hello-- let me show you to your rooms. you take my old room. thanks. -do you like that? my father made it for me. he was good with his hands. i never had a father. well, i had one, obviously, but he didn't hang about. -mind you, nor did my mother. is this your mother's room? that's right. mmm. got a thing about plastic covers, haven't you? -i bet condoms don't bother you. how is your assistant doing? they want to turn him off. perhaps that would be for the best. no. -he's been paid till the end of the month. anyway, he's company. while i'm waiting... for you. don't worry. sooner or later, one of them is gonna make a mistake. -stay within the house and grounds-- salt in the middle of the table, please. and the mint sauce. thank you. so, no contact with the outside. -no phone calls either. mobiles to be kept turned off. wine in the middle too. if you wouldn't mind. it's a light burgundy. -i particularly like wines from burgundy. so it's essentially a prison. no. it's a place of safety, and we want to keep it that way. how long do you think before all of this just blows over? -you're being pursued by professional killers. this willneverblow over. swiss action. a gift from my mother. it's 2:45 a.m. you think i don't know that? -could you please tell me what you're doing? i'm turning the bed around 'cause i sleep facing south, and-- can you help me? help you? well, insomnia-- it's extremely debilitating. -there. due south. why didn't i think of that? those shoes. yeah. -they give me confidence. come and see. tony, who is young, modern, eccentric even, but, like everyone else at 2:45 a.m., he's asleep! no, she's the one we go after. look at her. -accident waiting to happen. the boy is a nobody. as for maynard, well, there's no point going after maynard. you won't find a trace anywhere. not a whisper. -hmm. he is the... ultimate killing machine. oh! what are you-- what are you doing? -you're insane! i'm just digging! put that pick down right now! stop it! i was gonna get you some magnolias. -it was supposed to be a surprise for you. i... got up at 6:00! i've never dug a hole for anyone before! what, and you had to do it for me? yes! -why? because i wanted to thank you! for helping me get to sleep! fill them back up and put the turf on top! now! -no! that was not a request! that was an instruction! hang on a second! you had no right! -that's my garden! as if you cared about your garden! a garden is a place of beauty... where your senses run riot! what good is that to you? you shrink-wrap your own furniture! -you're only happy hiding away... in this gloomy, awful house. god, it's horrible. it's like everywhere you go, there's that smell. what smell? cleanliness. -bleach. it's like being in hospital. it's so safe, it's dangerous. i can't breathe here. i mean it. -i'm frightened. i'm frightened if i stay here much longer... i'll end up like you-- afraid of everything. i'm not afraid. afraid of admitting who i am. -what i want. what are you getting at? you really don't know anything about yourself, do you? yeah? can i come in? -i'm in my bath. i know. is it important? i think so. okay. -all right? yeah. having a bath? looks like it. tony. -just lately-- w-well, i haven't really been on top of things. i've been distracted at work, and i've just over-trimmed my dwarfulmus. my favorite bonsai tree. so i wondered... if it might be you... confusing me. -confusing you? without meaning to. without realizing. without either of us realizing. confusing you-- -sexually. i see. the idea's absurd, i know. i didn't even know you were-- i'm not. oh. -thatisconfusing. y-y-yeah. okay. what's your first thought? my dwarfulmus. -i could graft it onto the rubber plant. i won't disturb you any longer. so now we all know it's as fake as a romford rolex. mr. ferguson would like to know where the girl got it. i really don't mix with the criminal fraternity. -even your smile's crooked. names. there are a great many people who copy paintings. the ones i know didn't do it. don't make me shoot first and ask questions later. -start writing. what flavor are these? potpourri. mmm. they're not bad. -here. but i'm not sure any of these are good enough to have done that. marvelous. fabian. no. -no. get the painting. am i disturbing you? no, not at all. it's late, i know. -it, um-- i'm sorry about before. i shouldn't have said all of those things and-- i was upset and very tired. well, there's no harm done. -what do you care what i think, right? well, you should get some rest. i can't sleep. what is it this time? my jaw's hurting. -i have one too many teeth at the back here. really? yeah. do you have any pills? temazepam? -trazodone? sleeping pills? soneryl? valium? xanax? -sleep-eze? no. i'm sorry, no. all right. i'll just go back to my-- -i could... massage your feet. are you serious? acupressure. i trained a long time ago. i occasionally practice on myself. -it's wonderful for anxiety. you massage your own feet? here? and there? a great many people experience fits of nocturnal anxiety. -it's perfectly normal. you mustn't worry about it. can i tell you something? a confession? why not? -i like having you protecting me. you're really good at it. well, you seem to be. i don't really have anything to compare it with, because... no one-- no one ever tried before. but with you, -i really enjoy it. well... i enjoy... doing it. with me particularly? with you... particularly. -may i... do the other foot? shit. tony! tony! tony! -let me out! what are you doing? tony! please! tony! -she's gonna kill me! let me out! please! this hideous old bat in a wheelchair just tried to kill me! she had a knife this big! -i swear! it's true! mother? mother, are you there? it's me. -mother. i've got everything under control. she means well. mother, can we talk about this? i'm too frightened. -that's an excellent idea. tony will look after you. mother. until you kill that floozy, you're the target. i was behind the door. -never face a closed door. how many times have i told you? forgive me. i just-- no, stop. -do you realize the mess that you're in? i should have stayed here with you. since i moved out, you've gone to the dogs. you're not even sleeping with her. mother, i think we have a problem. -oh, i think so too. i know you've invested a great deal in me-- a beretta for your seventh birthday. a beretta! the pistol of princes. -no boy could have asked for more. indeed. i just wonder, as a result, what i've become. you've become your father's son. you saved my life again. -i didn't mean to. i've never been so scared. i'm glad you did, because i got something to live for now. i'm in love. really? -oh, yes. yes, yes, yes. get in. go on. just lie back. -he's so nice. he'ssonice. who is? mr. maynard, of course. really? -mmm. you know, when his mother woke me, i was dreaming about him. really? mmm. -it's funny, because yesterday... i couldn't wait to get away, and now... i never want to leave. what happened in between? just enough. -no, we'll just stay here together, just the three of us. one big, happy family. a difficult night. not at all. i owe you an explanation about my mother. -i understand how you feel. do you? i had a cousin like your mother. mad as a balloon, poor boy. but i adored him. -and family's family, right? i can easily get a taxi back. i got one here, after all. oh. how did you-- excuse me. -my name is fabian, and i would like you to recommend to me someone who could paint something like this. who did this? rembrandt. who? rembrandt. -give me his address. now. he's dead. dead? when? -300 years ago. give me a name now. o-o-okay, okay. with something that good, it's got to be gerry. gerry who? -gerry bailey. the national gallery. works in the restoration department. he's a friend. good. -mmm. took a while but-- hello. what a mess. come. -it's all for me? well, i'm touched. i-i-it's so kind of you. i know. blow them out. -wh- oh. sorry about the mirror. i've never opened one of these before. how did you know it was today? -the date was on the pictures in your old room. i'll open another. whoo! aah! did you do that?

-no, you did not. who were you with? all handball team. narrator: marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug on the planet. -to many, it's an evil weed. but to some, it's a sacred herb. reverend cherms: it's our god given right to use the tree of life . narrator: -still for others, it's a lifesaver. greg scott: i would be dead from aids if i had not smoked. narrator: for decades the global supply of marijuana was controlled by criminals. -eduardo martinez: there in it strictly for the money and they're willing to kill. narrator: but now it's a quasi-legal industry worth billions of dollars, and business is booming. producers, traffickers, dealers, users, doctors, police, they're all part of the $300 billion global industry that is, drugs incorporated. -drugs. inc 1x04 marijuana original air date on july 12, 2010 marijuana is a psychoactive plant commonly known as cannabis, grass, pot, or weed. used by 167 million people worldwide, marijuana polarizes public opinion, with one side trying to legitimize the plant, and the other trying to wipe it off the planet. in 1970, the us federal government passed the -controlled substances act classifying marijuana as a schedule 1 drug, just like heroin. this designates the drug as having a high potential for abuse, with no medicinal value. but not everyone agrees. in defiance of federal law, at least 14 us states now allow patients to grow or purchase marijuana on a doctor's recommendation. -chief among these rebel states is california. oakland resident juliet hopper works as a management consultant. for the past 10 years she has battled both cervical cancer and fibromyalgia, a condition that causes intense pain in her muscles and bones. juliet hopper: from my neck all the way down i'm in a lot of pain. -the best way i can describe, um, an fm flare-up, which is what i'm dealing with right now, is someone taking a baseball bat to your major joints and just hitting you as hard as they can for hours. and that's the pain that you're dealing with. it's unending nerve pain. narrator: while living in ohio, -juliet took a large number of pain medications that slowly destroyed her liver and kidneys. even though ohio prohibits medical marijuana, her physician privately recommended she try it. juliet hopper: i've been using a measuring spoon to kinda create a diary of what works best for my pain management and my symptoms. narrator: -marijuana contains a complex mixture of more than 60 unique active compounds known as cannabinoids. the two most abundant are tetrahydro-cannabinol, or thc, and cannabidiol, or cbd. when ingested, the compounds attach themselves to cannabinoid receptors, the molecules that affect neural signals in the parts of the brain governing memory, anxiety, appetite, coordination and pain. juliet uses a vaporizer to consume her medical marijuana. juliet hopper: -it heats up the cannabinoids enough to be able to release the medicine as a vapor, but it doesn't get hot enough to where it's combusting a plant, which is usually the biggest problem that most people have with utilizing cannabis as a medicine, is that they see that combustion is, putting tars and carcinogens into your body. narrator: initially, juliet was wary of consuming an illegal drug. juliet hopper: -i was the reaganistic child of 'just say no' don't do drugs. oh my god, cannabis will lead you to heroin. i think one of the biggest battles that any cannabis patient has, is because we still feel guilty. society tells us that we're doing something horrible. narrator: -in march 2009, juliet moved to california so that she could no longer be breaking the law by consuming medical marijuana. juliet hopper: it's almost like a nice little, meditation ritual. narrator: -for juliet, marijuana offers the chance of living a normal life. juliet hopper: it does just alleviate that inner angst. it kinda blocks that feeling of intense pain and, i get antsy and edgy when i'm in pain and i don't realize that i'm barking, and in my line of work barking is not very useful. so it alleviates that and it literally calms my psyche down enough to be able to focus and get my job done, and enjoy living. -it's not necessarily a cure all for everyone but it's definitely something to try that won't kill your kidneys. narrator: california's tolerance toward medical marijuana dates back to the early outbreaks of aids in the 1980s. dr. marc conant: -hello, greg, have a seat. narrator: san francisco dermatologist, dr. marc conant is one of the world's leading aids experts. he's been at the forefront of the fight against hiv since 1981. -dr. marc conant: we were treating them with chemotherapy. that caused nausea and vomiting. so the patients would come in and say: i can't keep the medicine down. -have you heard, doctor, that smoking marijuana will stop the nausea? what drugs are you currently taking? greg scott: currently, i'm taking raltegraviir. dr. marc conant: -there were other benefits as well. it relieves pain, it stimulates appetite, and the patients themselves discovered that smoking marijuana was more effective than any of the other things we prescribed. you lost weight. narrator: navy veteran greg scott, a patient of dr. conant's was first diagnosed with -hiv in 1987. his health rapidly declines. greg scott: well, i was very sick with stage iv terminal aids in 1993 and 1994. narrator: -greg's weight drops due to the medication he takes to stay alive. greg scott: there was nothing they could give me except pretty much this one drug, azt, that didn't work very well. and so i had wasted away to less than 120 pounds and i, i was dying. narrator: -greg suffers from a form of anorexia, know as hiv wasting syndrome. dr. marc conant: sit here and face me. narrator: essentially dying from starvation, -greg begins smoking marijuana, which is known to stimulate appetite, giving users the so called "munchies". dr. marc conant: take a deep breath. narrator: the marijuana keeps greg eating while better life-saving hiv drugs are developed. -greg scott: i would have been dead from aids before those drugs were available if i had not smoked to maintain my body weight. narrator: in 1996, california passes proposition 215, a state law allowing doctors to recommend marijuana to patients. -dr. marc conant: the doctor doesn't dispense it. the doctor can't write a prescription for it because the pharmacy doesn't, doesn't carry it. all the doctor can do is to indicate that in his or her considered opinion this patient would profit from using marijuana. narrator: -once a patient has a doctor's recommendation, they can legally grow their own or purchase marijuana from a dispensary. this so called "cannabusiness" is booming. like ordinary goods, marijuana is subject to a sales tax. california has up to 400,000 medical marijuana patients. serving them are an estimated 2,100 dispensaries and co-operatives, that's more than the state's starbucks, -mcdonald's and 7-11s combined. juliet hopper: i'm doing great, how about you? narrator: which is good news for juliet hopper. -today she's visiting the harborside health center in oakland that supplies her medical marijuana. juliet hopper: i am dealing with a flare up of my fm today, so i need something that's got a higher level of cbd. dispenser: well let's see what we have here. -narrator: here patients choose from some 100 different marijuana products, that cost between 30 and 60 dollars for an eighth of an ounce. dispenser: something like this. this is an aghani cross. -narrator: the harborside has 38,000 registered patients. steve deangelo: we have created a 100% closed loop distribution system that insulates our patients from any contact with the illegal market. the way that we do that is by only serving people who are verified as being legal medical cannabis patients, and only accepting medicine from people who are also legally qualified medical cannabis patients who have chosen to join our collective. -patient: hey, rick. rick: how you doing? patient: -good, how are you? narrator: registered patients legally grow medical marijuana and sell it to the harborside collective. in the back office they ensure the marijuana meets the high standards needed to qualify it as medicine. rick: -yeah, this is very nice. nice manicuring job. narrator: the buds are examined under a powerful microscope to check for mold or tiny pests like spider mites. harborside official: -if you put this under the 200x microscope you can see spider mites with their little faces, and their little legs. they look, they look scary, and, we don't want that in any of our medicine, we don't want any of our patients smoking bugs. narrator: the last 15 years have seen a medical revolution across america. doctors are recommending marijuana for everything from cancer to stress. -but critics say the system is abused by recreational users, who exploit medical endorsement to bypass the law. despite being legal under state law, dispensary owners still risk prosecution under federal drug laws which do not recognize medical marijuana. steve deangelo: if i was arrested by the federal government and taken to prison and locked up, the very day that they released me i would be back here and i would be serving patients again, and i would do so until they took me away and changed again. -when you see people who are dying and who are suffering, whose lives are saved by this medicine, it's impossible not to help them. narrator: the conflict between state and federal law also causes problems for patients like juliet. dispenser: will that work for you? -juliet hopper: looks great. thank you. it's a kind of a, a tough black cloud to live under, that you can't go outside of a medical cannabis state. you run the risk of either going without the medicine, which is not a choice that i am not willing to go. -i'd rather risk being prosecuted, um, than have to be without my medicine because the pain is just not worth it. narrator: the california medical marijuana revolution is powered by advances in horticultural science. by growing marijuana indoors, it can be cultivated anywhere on the planet. this revolution started more than 5,000 miles away, in holland. -amsterdam. like california, suppliers here walk a tightrope between what's legal, and what's not. for the past 25 years, arjan roskam has been at the forefront of the semi-legal dutch marijuana industry. arjan roskam: pretty good. -my passion for cannabis started when i was, 18, i was travelling around the north of thailand. one, it's a very very fine sativa, and it has a very nice mental high. and i met a very old medicine man and he was treating heroin junkies with marijuana, and he said to me that this plant has a very very big value for society. and he also said that the plant was so powerful that in the future it could overthrow governments. -when he said this to me i thought, hm, you're crazy, man. he basically said to me go back to holland and start growing this plant, and it will give you great benefit and wealth in the future and it will be make you very happy. and that's when it really started. narrator: holland is a small, densely populated country in northern europe. -it's famous for clogs, canals, and sex and drugs. the climate in holland isn't suited to growing marijuana, so roskam experiments with growing it indoors. arjan roskam: when i was 18 in holland nobody was doing this, i was the only one, two or three more guys, i had to learn everything. i would try out 4 different nutrients in one plant variety. -and the next time i would have tried out 4 different lights. and the time after that i would have tried out 7 different companies of soil with one variety. so at the end of the crop i can, really see very clear which soil for which particular plant would have been very very good. narrator: growing marijuana indoors requires powerful lamps that replicate the sun's light spectrum. -during the initial growth period, the lamps operate for 18 hours a day, imitating long summer days. then the timers are reduced to 12 hours a day, and the plants believe it's fall and begin to flower. the flowers, or buds, of the female plant contain the most thc, the psychoactive compound that produces the high. this illegal grow room is owned by one of arjan's contacts. the plants are grown from seeds that arjan developed. -arjan roskam: and this is arjan's ultra haze 1. a very nice sativa, maybe one of the best in the world. narrator: in 1993 roskam enters his pot into the -cannabis cup, a us competition sponsored by high times magazine. arjan roskam: they really liked my stuff and they said: this is the new kid on the block and this is the stuff we really should all smoke. mc: -winner of best of all three. narrator: winning the competition changes his life. the magazine puts him on the front cover, and overnight arjan becomes a celebrity pot star. busta rhymes: -congratulations. arjan roskam: they gave me the nickname king of cannabis. busta rhymes: -this is what we call royalty, cannabis king salute. narrator: demand for his product soars. arjan roskam: -we had so much coverage that all the tourists came to amsterdam and came straight to us. narrator: roskam founds the greenhouse seed company, a legitimate business selling marijuana seeds around the world. he no longer grows illegal marijuana: his plants are now grown legally outside of holland for the specific purpose of producing seeds. -arjan's seeds are hybrids of the two basic subspecies of cannabis, indica and sativa. this engineering produces different flavors and different effects. arjan roskam: the cannabis sativa is grown around the equator. it's a mental high, it's a long plant, with slim leaves and slim buds. -and the indica is a smaller plant and it's more, a body stoned. narrator: to create his unique strains, arjan scours the world for different varieties of marijuana seed. arjan roskam: -with my partner franco, we go into the jungles of far away countries, could be colombia, could be jamaica, africa. narrator: the worldwide market for new marijuana varieties is huge. and developing new, more potent strains keeps roskam's seed company in business. -arjan is travelling to malawi, in search of a strain alleged to be the best in africa. it's known as 'malawi gold'. arjan roskam: our expeditions are very complicated, they cost a lot of money. -you start searching, you start smoking, you speak to the locals, from there on you go far and far and try to find the fields. and try to find the original. narrator: in developing countries along the equator, marijuana is easily cultivated because of the warm tropical climate. in countries like malawi, marijuana is a lucrative cash crop, and a means of survival. -arjan roskam: malawi's a very very poor country. a whole village or a whole family is depending on this harvest, and if they lose this harvest, some kids die basically. narrator: after 10 days of trekking in the mud, -roskam and his partner franco strike gold. they take seed samples of the finest malawi plants to bring back to holland. farmer: this is very good, yeah? this. -franco: i'm seriously impressed by this, how long you grow? farmer: thank you very much. franco: -thank you. arjan roskam: you're a good farmer. narrator: arjan keeps a seed bank that has close to 2000 different strains of marijuana. -arjan roskam: these are all samples with all the codes from where they come and which kind of varieties. narrator: arjan's creations blend different strains to create potent hybrids, with exotic names like super lemon haze and great white shark. -he then sells them for a hefty profit. arjan roskam: roughly here you will see 25 to 30 kilos, so retail price between 2 and 3 million euros. narrator: -with the exception of america, where marijuana seed is illegal, roskam is free to market his products around the world. in most countries it's legal to buy seeds but not to cultivate them. so arjan brands his seeds as souvenirs. arjan roskam: -you see the different colors we have here. we have the cheese, we have the train wreck, we have white rhino and a great white shark. i came with this idea 2 years ago and it's probably the biggest hit ever in seed business. narrator: each packet of 10 mixed seeds retails for around $75, and his company sells 400,000 packets of seeds annually. -but the seed business is only one aspect of arjan's empire, the other is a chain of 'coffeeshops.' customers come not only to drink lattes, but to sample exotic marijuana. employee: the taste is more rich. narrator: -holland is the only country in the world where marijuana can be purchased legally for recreational use, but with certain restrictions. arjan roskam: the rules and regulations are as follows: no transactions bigger than 5 grams a person a day is allowed in any coffeeshop in holland. no hard drugs in the shop is allowed. -of course that's logic. no younger people under the age of 18 are allowed in the coffeeshop at any time. employee: you all have id's? narrator: -failure to comply means a shop will be closed down. more than a million tourists a year travel to amsterdam to smoke marijuana in the city's 234 coffeeshops. the dutch authorities believe they can keep marijuana from becoming a gateway to harder drugs by decriminalizing it and controlling its distribution. arjan roskam: -the young people can go into a coffeeshop and buy cannabis, and not like on the street where they're buying a left hand cannabis, and in the right hand heroin and cocaine. employee: filters and papers right there. customer: thank you. -narrator: the dutch policy seems to be working. holland has around 85% fewer hard drug overdoses than the united states and the lowest rate in europe. but when it comes to supplying marijuana, arjan roskam operates in a grey area. -although dutch authorities tolerate the sale of small amounts, production and large scale distribution remains illegal. arjan roskam: having 4 coffeeshops and making sure we have a steady supply every day, is a very very big target. narrator: to obtain enough marijuana for his 3,000 daily customers, arjan must turn to commercial black market producers. -he supplies them with seeds that they in turn use to grow marijuana for his coffeeshops. arjan roskam: we work with 80 to 100 growers. it's a cat and mouse game between the police and the growers. narrator: -once the marijuana is purchased from the illicit suppliers, it must be cut and prepared in a safe house, because coffeeshop regulations allow only 500 grams on the premises at any given time. from the safe house the marijuana is delivered to the coffeeshop every few hours. arjan has turned his greenhouse business into a global brand. he sells everything from instructional dvds, to t-shirts and hats over the internet. arjan roskam: -this very popular in canada and america. this is also very funny these are coasters. narrator: and like many celebrities, he even has his very own do i . -arjan roskam: the famous bobble head. at home everybody laughs about it but in america it's pretty popular. narrator: "the king of cannabis" is enjoying his success. arjan roskam: -i think i am the most happy person in the world. i have the best job in the world. i made from my hobby, i made my work. i grow the most beautiful plant in the world. i meet all kinds of celebrities, -i get invited all over the world. i'm the most happy guy in the world. narrator: arjan roskam's seeds and growing techniques have revolutionized the marijuana trade. growers are now moving indoors to produce stronger varieties, and make bigger profits. -kingston, jamaica. on the outskirts of the city, a man going by the alias 'paul', is a small time cultivator who grows high grade marijuana. paul: most of these strains are from holland. the way the rest of the country grows weed it's not, it's not the same as this. -it's connoisseur level. narrator: paul's high potency marijuana is known as sinsemilla, or sensi for short. paul: sensi's just seedless, growing your harvest and not letting it pollinate. -whenever you breed the weed and it gets seeds, it loses it potency, and also its flavor. narrator: to produce marijuana without seeds, growers remove the male plants before flowering. this prevents the female plants from being pollinated and producing seeds. sensi has higher levels of thc, the main psychoactive compound. -paul: it's potent. you're up to 18, 20% thc, very strong. narrator: most jamaican marijuana is grown outdoors. -but in order to produce the high potency varieties that many of today's smokers demand, growers like paul are joining the indoor growing revolution. paul: welcome to my babies. narrator: for the past 12 years, -paul has maintained his secret indoor garden. paul: all right. narrator: here, every aspect of growing is controlled, right down to the acidity, or ph, level of the soil. -paul: if, if you're just pouring pipe water on a plant, the ph is too high, the plant won't get a chance to pick the food up out of the soil and it's under fertilized. i grow because i love to smoke. and if you want the best you have to grow for yourself. i'm the only one i see in jamaica that's doing this. -these strains are called golden back gorillas. it's very potent. this is a lot money. it sells for $500 us an ounce. narrator: -marijuana farmers around the world are moving indoors to avoid detection by law enforcement. and growing higher potency varieties means more money. paul: you're gonna get a lot of customers with good strong weed. narrator: -in jamaica, marijuana is part of everyday life. up to 70 percent of the island's population smokes it. ras malekot: please jah bless us all and sanctify us as we partake of the holy herb, for the healing of the nation and for the meditation of man. narrator: -when smoked, marijuana produces a wide variety of effects, including everything from lethargy or an altered perception of time, to increased appetite, paranoia, forgetfulness or euphoria. ras malekot: it lift your thoughts, it lift your mind, it makes you more tranquil, will make you more meditative. it gives you more insight into yourself, into reality. narrator: -in the early 20th century, recreational marijuana use spreads from jamaica and the west indies to america. popular among mexican migrant workers and african american jazz musicians, marijuana becomes a target for white xenophobia. in the 1930s federal bureau of narcotics chief harry anslinger launches america's war on drugs. -he creates panic by claiming that marijuana leads to insanity, rape, and murder. despite objections from the american medical association, anslinger persuades congress to outlaw the drug in 1937. during the '60s, marijuana is embraced by the growing counterculture. for many, smoking pot is an act of defiance against mainstream america. -to the establishment, marijuana symbolizes the excesses of the hippie era. ronald reagan: marijuana is probably the most dangerous drug in america today. narrator: since the 1970s the war on drugs has cost more than two trillion taxpayer dollars, but it hasn't eliminated marijuana. -in fact, marijuana is so widespread that 41 percent of americans admit to trying it, including even the president. narrator: since marijuana was outlawed in the 1930s, stopping its use has been the main focus of america's war on drugs. while medical marijuana patients can legally consume it in 14 us states, more than 800,000 people are arrested for illegal marijuana use every year. -cleveland, tennessee. drug task force director mike hall and his team prepare to execute a search warrant on the house of a suspected marijuana dealer. mike hall: well if they come out of this house and we come in, especially if they look like one of our two suspects, i would try to, try to get 'em. say a word prayer. -the lord we thank for this day, i pray that you keep each man, woman in this room safe, that you give us quick reflexes. give us the judgments to do what's right. let us fulfill that justice that you've called us to fulfill in christ's name. amen. -alright, let's load up. narrator: marijuana is big business and dealers will stop at nothing. the cops aren't taking any chances. mike hall: -the one suspect has displayed firearms to our confidential informant and the propensity for violence in this neighborhood is a little bit higher than most. narrator: tensions are running high as the van pulls up to the suspect's house. cop: go go go go. -right, get over there, get over there! get over there! narrator: within seconds, the police take control of the house. out back, two more suspects are apprehended. -agents search the suspects as the children are taken outside. cop: where's you mommy, sweetie? little girl: inside. -cop: inside. she'll be out in a minute, okay? you been smoking bud out here? suspect: -no, just, i'm waiting on a burger. narrator: mike hall questions the main suspect. mike hall: right, is there any guns in the house? -suspect: no sir. mike hall: marijuana was found on you, on your person, is this for personal use? is there any other marijuana inside the residence? -suspect: my personal. mike hall: and where's that at? narrator: -the suspect directs the agents to his stash box. inside they find half an ounce of marijuana divided into 4 bags. the suspect is likely dealing. mike hall: you got them individually wrapped up, you gonna sell them? -suspect: no, not those. mike hall: not those? suspect: -not those. cop: we've been looking at you longer than a few days, i know what's going on here. we have purchased marijuana from here, namely you. narrator: -under tennessee state law, distributing marijuana weighing under 10 lbs is a felony and punishable by up to 6 years in prison. marijuana may pass though 5 or 6 hands before it gets to a dealer like this one. mike hall: he ain't the bottom of the food chain, but he ain't top. this is his accounting paper. -these are sometimes what people owe him, this is how much cash he's got in hand. narrator: the marijuana supply chain often works on credit. mike hall: he owes his supplier right now 360 bucks. -unfortunately the typical cycle is he'll try to find some other dope somewhere so he can make enough to pay off, suppliers, you know, they're like repo men, you know, they wanna get their $360 back so, they'll get it one way or another, take your car, take your tv, you know, take your blood. narrator: the marijuana seized by the drug task force in tennessee most likely originated from -mexico, which supplies nearly 40 percent of the marijuana consumed in america. el paso, texas. located across the rio grande from the mexican town of juarez, this city is a high drug trafficking area. every year, more than 100 tons of marijuana are seized at the el paso ports of entry. william molaski is the customs and border -protection port director in el paso. as a senior customs officer, molaski has been monitoring this port of entry for two years. william molaski: if you can think of a way to smuggle something into the country, we've seen it. -yeah, you see false compartments in gas tanks, in the spare tires, in the trunk, in the roofs of cars, strapped to the legs of people. inside of shoes, baggage. the list is endless. narrator: molaski and his team are the frontline of -america's war on drugs. agents from customs and border protection are on high alert as they search cars and trucks for drugs. they suspect this vehicle is hiding illicit cargo. agent thorne: we started inspecting the vehicle and we saw some anomalies with the tank, so then we had it brought in for further inspection. -narrator: the agents use a fiber optic telescope to get a better look inside the gas tank. agent thorne: we believe there is contraband, either marijuana or cocaine. narrator: -the customs agents see something in the tank, and decide to take a closer look. inside are dozens of packages of compressed marijuana, vacuum-packed to prevent them from absorbing gasoline. the 68 pound seizure is worth $200 a pound in el paso. by the time it reaches cities like new york, its value multiplies ten-fold. this secret dea warehouse stores the marijuana seized on the us/ mexican border. -agent todd scott: this warehouse on any given week is filled with, you know, 12, 15,000 pounds or more of marijuana. narrator: every year more than one million pounds of marijuana passes through here before it's destroyed. the cross-border marijuana trade is dominated by the -mexican drug cartels. agent todd scott: marijuana's important to the cartels because it really is the life blood, the economic life blood for how these cartels operate. narrator: 60 percent of their revenue, or around $8.6 billion, comes from trafficking marijuana. agent todd scott: -marijuana is, it's almost like printing press for them. it's really the engine that drives all of their other, narcotic trafficking activities. narrator: the endless demand for marijuana fuels the bloodshed on mexico's streets. two of mexico's biggest drug gangs, the sinaloa and the juarez cartels, are fighting a war over el paso's strategic location. -eduardo martinez: these organizations see themselves as industries, they are in it for profit, and they're willing to kill and they're willing to do whatever they have to do to make sure that their business continues to receive profits. narrator: the war over lucrative smuggling routes has turned juarez, mexico into the murder capital of the world. eduardo martinez: -they are fighting over their turf. and whoever at the end is left standing will be able to profit from this area. narrator: the worldwide marijuana market is estimated to be worth $142 billion annually and the mexican drug cartels are fighting for their share. -in california, the mexican cartels' profits are being eroded by the 'mom and pop' operators who supply the booming, legal-medical marijuana business. people from all over america are flocking to california to be part of the so called "green rush." northern california. -here, a group of medical marijuana smokers are so fanatical about their use of the plant, they've formed their own church. the reverend steve cherms runs the united cannabis ministry. reverend cherms: it's a non denominational church so we don't try to focus people's certain beliefs, but we do believe that the cannabis plant, is a tree of life, and is our god given right to use -the tree of life. lift up your tongue. narrator: every sunday, cherms and his followers begin the day with a mixture of liqueur and marijuana. reverend cherms: -would you like your tincture young lady? narrator: the reverend steve cherms has been smoking marijuana for 39 years. today, he uses it to relieve pain from ruptured disks in his back and neck. reverend cherms: -i just can't focus with the pain so, a little bit of hashish, you know one, two marijuana cigarettes and, ready to go for the day. narrator: to become a part of the church congregation, members must share cherms' passion for marijuana. woman: thank you. -reverend cherms: and my favorite thing, next victim. now i will be able to just kind of slow down and talk to you guys without being like in a haze, you know. narrator: reverend cherms makes sure his followers hold legal california medical cannabis cards. -reverend cherms: then they can, you know, consume cannabis legally, even though we should be able to use the tree of life legally anyway it's god's law but, you know, we'll follow the rules in california. narrator: -in october, the church's legal marijuana crop is ready for harvest. reverend cherms: we grow for everybody that's in the church that cannot grow for themselves or have no spot to do it. narrator: church members believe freedom of religion, no matter how strange, is protected by the first amendment of the us -constitution. reverend cherms: in the constitution we have the right to use whatever religious sacrament we want. and this is our religious sacrament. narrator: -seasonal workers pour into california to help with the harvest. they're known as 'clippers' and they get paid in pot. reverend cherms: it kind of averages between half ounce, to an ounce a day, you know, and they each come one or two days. i think they usually go home with an ounce, and it's enough sacrament for their week or two weeks that they need. -narrator: the reverend and his followers were recently evicted from their church, because the landlord didn't agree with their religious beliefs. so now cherms holds an informal service in his home, while the clippers manicure the harvested buds. reverend cherms: would anyone else like to try some? -narrator: before church begins, cherms and his congregation take more sacrament. reverend cherms: we're all guardians of cannabis; -we all have to have it. and there's no kings, no queens, no emperors of this, we're all the same and the plant needs us to be the guardian of it. what do they say healing of the nations. the healing of the nations. anybody else like to try some hash a little? -narrator: eventually, the service begins. rather than preaching from the pulpit, cherms prefers a more relaxed approach to religion. reverend cherms: -sunday sermon for the united cannabis ministry. narrator: in the comfort of his armchair, he delivers his sermon from a laptop. reverend cherms: -genesis 1-29. and god said behold i've given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all of earth. does this seem like the herb that we have in our hands. is it possible this could be the herb they're talking about? member: -definitely. narrator: cherms champions the virtues of cannabis over other commonly abused substances. reverend cherms: tobacco kills 340,000 to 450,000 people a year. -150 plus thousand people a year die from alcohol related. and that, that's not accidents, car accidents, that's alcohol consumption killing 150,000 people a year. let's talk about illicit overdose and drug use; 3800 to 5200 deaths a year, and my favorite cannabis zero, zero deaths every year. -never been recorded one death from the use of cannabis. narrator: marijuana is now california's biggest cash crop, outselling corn, vegetables, even grapes. narrator: while hundreds of thousands of people in -california are now legally growing and consuming medical marijuana, there's still a thriving illegal industry, dominated by the mexican drug cartels. across california, illegal marijuana farms are springing up in state parks. lake county, northern california. 10 am. agent ryan pontecorvo, an eradication team commander from the -campaign against marijuana planting, or camp, is searching for an illegal marijuana farm known as a 'grow.' agent pontecorvo: they thin out the brush just enough that the plants get the sunlight. but the color is so fluorescent against the natural foliage, it just pops, so it's hard to hide. narrator: -during the summer growing season, he and his team work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. soon agent pontecorvo spots some crops. agent pontecorvo: you got, you got one, two, three plots. narrator: -to the untrained eye, it's nearly impossible to see, but pontecorvo has spent the last 5 years busting marijuana growers. armed and ready, camp agents hike through the brush toward the illegal marijuana farm. agent pontecorvo: when we do sneak ins that's when the potential for violence is there. most of all the growers, they're always armed. -narrator: these farmers heard the agents coming and have already fled. but the agents remain on high alert while they remove the illegal plants. agent pontecorvo: right now since, well i call it the race. -once you see it, you got to pull it because it's all money. they made it this far, they want it out. so the likelihood of potential armed confrontation would be now. because basically we're taking money from them. they bring in their food. -narrator: agents discover the farmers' abandoned camp. agent pontecorvo: they've just had a food drop, this bag is full of food that just. narrator: -many grow farmers are illegal immigrants. agent pontecorvo: the people who are smuggled into the united states, part of their payment back to the smugglers is to be inserted into different areas of california to set up marijuana commercial grows. narrator: the operations are financed by -mexican drug lords but the kingpins are rarely caught. agent pontecorvo: a grow like this probably cost them, with all the food and getting the guys in here i don't know, maybe $10,000 investment to get it going. chemicals and everything and that might be in the high end. depending on what the plant count is here, they could make a profit of a million or a couple, you know, and they sell it wholesale at the low end. -so for a small investment they're getting a big return. narrator: the marijuana plantations have a devastating impact on the surrounding environment. agent pontecorvo: they cut trees, they cut the underbrush, they clear it out. -they'll bring poisons in to kill the animals, deer will it, 'cause deer love eating the plants. this is all your, your typical landscape, water pipe, you have your feeder tubes off a main line. what they'll do is they'll run this, i've seen it run for miles, to a stream, where they'll dam up the stream and divert it. a lot of times they'll put chemicals in the water. -so they're poisoning the water, they're taking public land, running people off who should be enjoying it for recreation. narrator: ryan and his team remove more than 3,000 plants, with an estimated street value of 6 million dollars. for them, the war on drugs is never ending. agent pontecorvo: -it is a game. they, they try to hide it and we try to find, and once we find we take it, so it, it's a never ending battle. narrator: whether it's an evil weed, a cash crop, a lifesaving medicine, or simply a recreational drug, marijuana polarizes public opinion. and thanks to advances in horticultural science, it can now be grown anywhere on the planet and is used by more people than ever before. -seventy years of prohibition have failed to stamp out marijuana production. and it continues to line the pockets of the world's most ruthless criminals you good? yeah. if something goes wrong, that package has to go off. -that's the deal-- victor's orders. right. don't let us down. we've got one shot at this. i know. -this building has 15 floors. the department of immigration takes up the first floor and the lower plaza. if they're after civilians, then he's gonna be targeting the open immigration areas. we have a visual on trent. trent. -i've got a bomb! my grandfather kneeled down to kiss him good-bye. my dad's only five. he's got no idea. he told me how the wool uniform felt rough against his chest, and he says to my dad... -"you take care, now. you take care." so let's fast-forward. my dad and my mom-- they're living hand to mouth 'cause no one's going to give a white guy over 40 a job. he can't afford to live in his own neighborhood, his own neighborhood where he grew up. -so who is living there, living in his house, working his job? it's not you or you or any of you. i'm sorry, boys, but your skin is just too white. when i think about my grandfather, who gave his life on that beach in france for his country then i see these people, you know, this... "rainbow of diversity" pouring in like sewage by the multiculti boatload, who will be one in two of us by 2050-- one in two-- and i am thinking: -wow, this is a smiling, slow-moving army of occupation, and i will not live with the shame when one day a young man with my name turns to me and says, "dad, i can't get a job. "i can't afford a decent place to live. "the cockroaches stole everything from us. "why didn't you do something? -why didn't you do something?" well, guess what. we are going to do something about it. we are going to do something about it, 'cause today is citizenship day and we are going to celebrate it our way. yes, we are! -our way! yeah! you boys are the future. you are the future. my man... -yeah. derek, you're up. it's the old glass factory. there's 23 guys on the inside. i don't know the targets, but he said a lot of people are gonna get hurt. -look, i got to go. come on, come on, kel, pick up, pick up. hey, kel, it's me. uh, listen, i'm calling... no reason-- i'm, i'm just calling... -i love you. what are you doing? nothing. you talking to her? look, trent, we got to talk. -i got nothing to say about that. it's about victor. what? his plan. yeah, it's need-to-know. -trent... he'll tell me when it's my turn. trent! you want me to tell him you got a phone in your pocket? yeah, i didn't think so. -okay, guys, listen up. 12:45 p.m.-- an unidentified male called 911 to report a series of attacks planned for today. multiple bombs, targets unknown. caller give a deadline? no, he did not. -the attacks are racially motivated. the leader is victor ackland. what do we know about him? not a whole lot. five years ago he was red-flagged for handing out white supremacist literature on university campuses. -he ran with the aryans. now he looks like he's gone indie. he's got no record, no web site. he's a little under the radar. home base is this abandoned glass factory. -there are 23 subjects, and they are armed. we got to get them before they put their plan in play. we're gonna come at 'em from the east, split into north-south while spike does his thing. team four... we hit from the west. -that's right. extra cuffs, kids, we're going to need 'em. let's go, guys, let's go. you're next. then it's you. -yeah, man, i'm so ready. it's been a long time coming. man 2: definitely. trent, we gotta talk. -talk to me here. hey, outside. yeah, you can say what you need to say in front of them. look, i'm not playing around. don't touch me. -okay? ! is there something you want to talk about here, danny? this is between us! i'm not a kid anymore! -boys! is there something i should know about? anything, eddie? no movement. spike? -they got a network of security cams. wireless, which is good. we knock out camera two, we've added 15 degrees zone of entry. knock out camera four, we gain another 20 degrees. nice. -dangerous with a rifle, deadly with geometry. come on, camera four, you can't hide for long. your consumer-grade encryption means nothing to me. gotcha! okay, recording a ten-second loop of clean video. -zone-by-zone. stay in contact. spike, you're looking for explosives. copy that. camera's looped. -we're ready to go. all right, let's do it. team four, let's move in. copy that. let's go. -you getting cold feet, danny? no, man, no way. you sure about that, buddy? i'm sure. hmm.

the property's too big. there were gaps in the cordon. they could have got out. -okay. all right, thanks, guys. sidney, i need you to look for vehicle registration for victor ackland, jeff watts and trent butler. put out apb's. -copy. think i found what we're looking for. we got nitroglycerin, sulfuric acid, sodium trichlorate, ammonia, gasoline, silver nitrate, nitrobenzol. with the chemicals down here, they could have built the mother of all bombs. instead, they built a bunch of smaller ones. -portable, easy to hide. but capable of causing damage? a hell of a lot of damage. the good news is i got plans for ten bombs so i can find out how they work. bad news? -three of them are missing. sidney, we've got three subjects carrying explosives. contact all divisions. threat level is red. copy. -i'm uploading a list of possible targets. sidney, we need uniforms, checkpoints, dogs and scanners at all locations. that's a lot of ground to cover. you'll be fine, sidney. just reach out to our friends in peel and durham, and just get those photos out. -copy, boss. all right, spike, what have you got? these bombs-- they're not meant to take out buildings. they're meant to take out people. it's loaded with shrapnel-- nails. -okay, what's the radius? you don't want to be within a hundred feet when it blows. trigger? timers. they're hooked up to special frequency clocks-- t.a.i. -they're all going to blow at the same time. the problem is, we don't know what time. and worse, they've all got impact-sensitive override. somebody drops one, it blows. that doesn't add up. -right-wing extremists like to park a bomb underneath a government building and walk away. they don't like to target civilians with shrapnel. ackland's sending a message and causing carnage. the new face of terror. hey. -you're worried about your brother? yeah. i'm gonna be straight-- i don't get you yet. but at 12:45 today, you made a call-- you did the right thing. i didn't know. -you ready to take a ride with us? you ready to talk? okay, come on. let's go. there's a sad day when you can't trust the people closest to you. -you boys aren't just soldiers to me. you're family. a family that chose each other. that runs even deeper than blood. trent, if you know who tipped off the cops, you need to tell me. -you need to tell me, trent. i think it was danny. that can't have been easy for you. he called 911 just before the raid. hey! -i'm sorry. well, your brother's choices aren't your fault. that's a long list of targets, danny. we need to know more about victor's plan today. i was going to be a lookout. -he didn't tell me the targets. everything was need-to-know. you're a part of this group. no. i mean, i was, but... it was all just talk before today. -all right, look, i used to think... we grew up north of the city. nice house. my dad bought it from his dad when he retired. my dad lost his job. -he got let go 'cause all of a sudden there's a bunch of people that'll work for a lot less. immigrants, danny. we lost the house. he was depressed. he starts drinking. -and he makes sure that we know who's to blame when there's no money for christmas, food. then one day trent and i come home, and-and we find him. he took the easy way out. we're on our own. your mom? -she died when trent was born. i had to get him out. he didn't want to go, but i swore to him i was going to look out for him. i was going to get a job and i was going to take care of him. -and i was going to fight back. god, i remember when i first saw danny. he was so angry, and lost. but i saw something, saw something in him. pride, fire. -i had hopes. every time you'd see him, you were happy to see him 'cause he'd listen. and trent and i weren't alone anymore. victor worked security at the old factory. he had the run of the place. -he's a military guy. and on the weekends he'd drill us. teach us survival skills, stuff like that, just for fun. i was wrong. i thought i knew him. -it's not him, it's his girlfriend. is that the one who called before? yeah, it's since he met her. he's not the same guy. kelly changed everything. -you got to meet her. she's just-- she's a force of nature. i met her at work. at the hotel. i tried keeping my distance, but after a couple weeks, nothing i believed made sense anymore. -nice monkey suit. hey, what are you doing here? what do you mean? it's friday. yeah, right. -right, friday. uh, can you cover for me? hey, you must be trent. yeah. the famous invisible brother. -it's so nice to finally meet you. who's this? it's just someone i work with. danny. what's going on? -so this is kelly. yeah. hi. danny, what the hell...? i was going to tell you. -when? when i thought the time was right. how could you...? look, it's my business, all right? well, why'd you lie to me? -i didn't lie to you. you've got your pride when it suits you, but this whole time you're running around with that. she is not a that! what are you doing? i don't know. -you're deserting me. i would never... hey, i would never desert you. so, trent, you ever meet this kelly? trent. -no. how come you stayed in the group? she wouldn't see me after that. going up on these weekends was the only way to look out for him. trent ever mention kelly's color to victor? -no. i guess i still have a brother, you know? all right, let's go. you know who's left here? just the three of us. -just jeff and me and you. it's down to us, and that's what it's all about, right? right. hey... do you want to know what the best thing that happened to me was? it's when your brother brought you to me. -i saved your briefing for last. you ready? yes. you want to know what's in the backpacks? yes. -boss, we've got an i.d. on jeff and trent entering hancock square carrying backpacks. they could be headed to the department of citizenship and immigration. it's a target what about victor ackland? -we got unis at all the targets, but still no sign of him. okay, radio ahead, let 'em know we're on our way, but do not engage the subjects. you got it. sidney, alert all units: victor ackland is now traveling alone and in possible possession of a third bomb. -we're still looking for backpacks. keep the pressure up. copy, boss. you good? yeah. -yeah? yeah. my man. you're solo from here. but when we're done, we'll meet at the fox and crown, have a beer and watch it on the news. -time it right, you'll be fine. it's a lot people. it's like victor said: "if the pilot of the enola gay thought like that, we'd be speaking japanese right now." don't worry. -you wait, you watch the time, and you put it down nice and slow, and you make sure you're far away by 3:00. but remember, if something goes wrong, that package has to go off. that's the deal. victor's orders. a soldier doesn't leave his post, right? -right. don't let us down. we've got one shot at this. i know. see you at the fox and crown. -i have my officers searching the building. no sign of your suspects. cctv? limited only to the common areas. okay, thanks, sergeant. -let's clear this area. right away. spike, we're gonna command post here. copy. this building has 15 floors. -the department of immigration takes up the first floor and the lower plaza. if they're after civilians, then he's gonna be targeting the open immigration areas. wordy and i'll take passports. jules, sam, take immigration and appeals. let's go. -remember, subjects and backpacks. danny, you're with us. it's jeff! he's on his way out! visual on jeff. -he's in the lobby. stay back. stay down. the trigger's impact-sensitive. we can't let it drop. -sleeper hold. what about the backpack? i'll grab it. your arm. i got it, spike. -did you get the bag? sarge? sergeant? ! sergeant, cuff him. -get him out of here. get everybody out of here! get 'em out! get everybody out! that's you, too, boss. -copy that. package disabled. one down. we have a visual on trent. trent?

i'm backing away. all right, i'm backing away. -go, go, get out of here. that boy's scared. you're checking the clock, trent. is there something i should know about? spike, do you have jeff's device? -i'm looking right at it. this bomb was set to go at 3:00 p.m. they're using frequency clocks, synched up, so i'm guessing that's when they're all set to go. maybe 3:00's a symbolic time. well, we got 12 minutes. -what if i take down the subject and he drops it? then the impact overrides the timer, and it blows sooner. good to know. how about electronic countermeasures? yeah, maybe with an emp. -but there's no way i can get one here in time. the only way to disable these guys is up close, old-school pliers and cutters. looks like we're talking him down. down to two bombs and a 3:00 p.m. deadline. we need to find victor. -i don't know, i don't know. does he carry a cell phone? victor took my phone earlier. he might still have it. type the number here. -okay. and we got a signal, narrowing it down... simcoe and front. four blocks from here. all right, notify all units in that area. -we will not lose him. wordy, ed you copy that? that's the sussex arms. on our way. look, trent, you're just following orders. -i get that, okay? you delivered the bomb to this location. you've done your job. my orders are to make sure it goes off. then let's walk away and make that happen. -you leave the bag there, you've done your duty. you'll disable it. trent, do you want to die? a soldier never leaves his post. okay, trent, i think i know why we're here; -why you want to do this. can i ask you a question? can you tell me about what happened to your dad? spike, we're approaching the hotel. victor's signal's coming from the second floor conference area. -copy that. spike, we're here. can you narrow it down? left of your location. it's gotta be through here. -police! police! sru! sru! police! -stop! right there! hands in the air! and down on your knees slowly. don't move a muscle. -positive for explosives. okay, not a muscle. not a muscle. don't even breathe. there's nothing in here. -where's the bomb, victor? i don't know. ask kelly. victor may have given the bomb to kelly. he-he doesn't-doesn't even know her. -he tracked her down at work, at the hotel. how does he know her? just stay calm. i gotta get out of here! i gotta go help her! -danny, hey, hey, calm down! my team will find her. my team will keep her safe, okay? trent's still at risk. we need you here. -i can't. remember what you said? "i will never desert you." come on, buddy. we gotta make sure he knows that, all right? -good man. jules? we're making progress, boss. sam's got an angle. your dad apologized? -"i'm so ashamed." that was the last thing he said to me. he quit on us! he's not a fighter like you, right? how did you convince kelly to take the bomb, victor? -i didn't convince kelly to take a bomb. she doesn't know what she's carrying. what's her target? what's her target, victor? her target is the enemy. -you're a real brave man. sending other people to die. she was expendable. what, like trent? easy to send kids, right? -where is she, victor? where is she? ! see what blows at 3:00 p.m. don't let him out of your sight. -let's go. if it's antipersonnel, it's not about a symbolic building or property damage. it's about the people-- the enemy. he said see what blows at 3:00. danny, 3:00 p.m. today. -if victor's trying to send a message, there's got to be a reason for the time and the target. he-he said that today was the beginning. it's about taking our country back. it's citizenship day. citizenship day? -victor said... we're gonna celebrate it our way. citizenship ceremonies held across the country. here-- 85 new citizens take the oath. open to the public. 3:00 p.m. 1587 adelaide street. -ed, kick it up. you're close. sidney, send out uniforms three-block radius. soak the area-- 1587 adelaide. copy. -jules, you're running low on time. we got to get that boy out of there. i'm watching, boss. trent, your dad made his choice. no, they made him do it. -who did?

13. i came in the room, trent was already there. -dad was hanging. trent was screaming. not crying-- screaming at dad. angry. i had to pull him off. -hey, sam, trent was angry at his dad for abandoning him. then when danny met kelly, trent thought he was leaving him, too. so he's clinging to victor, 'cause that's all the family he thinks he has left. -trent needs to know he's not alone. i'm going to bring danny down. let him see him. let him know he's there. no, i got this, boss. -we're on the edge here, sam. if we can't get through, you got to get out of there. copy that. uniforms got a sighting south on york between richmond and adelaide. subjects in range. -kelly, don't move. we need to vacate this area immediately, please! you, back over there! everybody back! clear this area! -all the way back, please! i need you to stay very still... get back! kelly, okay?

i don't understand. -it's okay. i'm going to take you to see danny as soon as i can, but first i need to take that bag. you understand what that means, right? where you going? trent, to die for nothing? -sam, get out of range. trent! get out of here! not without you. your brother's been here the whole time. -even with kelly in danger. what happened to kelly? stand back! please, for your security i need you to stand all the way back! -your c.o. victor-- he doesn't share the same sense of duty you do. he gave her the bomb to deliver. sam, you're too close, you're too close. just like he gave it to you. too close, sam. -he's willing to sacrifice your life for his cause, but not his own. one minute left, guys. okay, okay. everything's under control here. you're safe. -i'm going to tell you the truth here, kelly. there's an explosive in that bag, so just very calmly hand it to me. thank you, kelly. what?

-5:33 p.m.12 hostages secured.to subjects still armed and active. a mike mckewon and an employee identified by his manager-- justin fraser. justin,please... don't let mike give up! this is livideo nk they just sent justin. they said they'd hurt me and the baby. -okay,new deal,ed. these guys are acting under duress. someone's holding the employee's wife. colleagues say she's seven months pregnant. it also sounds like they seem to know each other,boss. -if they know each other,what's their connection? lewis,did you track the source? yeah,prepaid cell,no gps. manager said they were trying to wire money into an offshore account,but they didn't have the right codes. they still think they can do it. -and that's why they won't give up. if someone had sophie,would you? winnie,mike mckewon and justin fraser. we need a connection.see who could be pulling their strings and from where asap. copy. -boss,whoever it is,i think they're watching. that's what justin was doing. he uplinked the security system to an ftp. if you give someone the web address they can see what we see. the guy's pretty good. -want me to interrupt the feed,block the bad guy's view? negative. ed,this is why justin told us not to interfere. the kidnapper will keep the wife alive as long as he thinks he'll still get his money. i want to believe the wife's still alive. -and we can use this to our advantage. so we keep them in the game till we figure out where they are? yeah. all right. sarge,uniforms confirm no sign of maya fraser at the house. -and they report signs of forced entry. thanks,winnie. i got a hit on your guy justin fraser. in crimal record? no,family services. -go ahead. okay,both parents deceased.looks like he was 13. he was transferred to the custody of a jack fraser. uncle,in brampton. okay,let's get ahold of the uncle. -see if he can tell us what justin's got himself involved in. you got it. so how are you going to find these codes we need? the override codes change every few weeks,so the execs have go w toherite tm down somewhere. mike: -what are we looking for? it's,uh,it's usually something personal. like a... like a birthda or a cat? justin's a good kid. -smart. my brother's son.he came to live with me after he lost his parents. so what happened to the parents? uh... car accident. as far as you know,justin isn't involved in illegal activities? -well,he studied his butt off to get where he is,maya's expecting-- no,i... i don't see him throwing that away. well,are they okay? what do you know about mike mckewon? oh,so this is about mike. -no. look,i had three kids of my own,okay? i couldn't take them both. besides,he was 17.he was old enough to be on his own. so you're saying justin and mike are brothers? -no,no,half. his mom remarried my brother when mike was two or three. then they had justin. but the kid's always been trouble. not even my brother could handle him.there was no way i could take that on. -so after the accident,justin got a home,and mike was left to look out for himself? yeah. are you in? yeah. how'd you know the name of the cat? -i didn't. the password is on the back. ******* okay,all right,it's scanning the system for the codes now. once we get them,we take them down to the secure servers in the basement,input them,send the cash. then they let maya go. -how long has maya been pregnant? seven months. you got a boy or a girl? we don't know,mike.we were going to wait. i'm sorry. -i've been working on the video attachment for mike's phone. justin... please. they want their money by 6:00 or they say they'll... they'll kill me. you hear that?

my baby,please... please! -they get the money. and they still kill the hostage. we'll cross between the buildings. we'll access through the roof. copy that. -we've i.d.'d two of them. okay,there's an oscar cardoza and a hector puente. just the two?

you know him? he wasn't doing too good today,man,you know? and then he tells us,"my brother justin,he works for a bank," -and that you'd take care of it... like you always do. he's a lucky guy to have a brother like you. spike,stay close.we got a situation. jus,jus,look,there's gotta be something else we can do,right? -just get back in there and,um... right,jus? i'll take care of things... like i always do. jus,man,what the hell,man? get the,get the,get the gun off me. -you said you didn't know them. they knew you.and you told them ai workt a bank. no,no,man,that's not what happened. stop lying to me! spike,he's not picking up.you get in there.we're on our way. -mike: no,that's not what happened. sru! drop your weapon! my wife is dead,so you...you do what you need to do. -it doesn't matter anymore. justin,we're working on getting your wife out safely. you told them that i would do this for you,because... because i always cave,right? because i always say yes. they were gonna kill me,man. -so you sell me out? and maya? okay,i do know those guys,i know 'em. but i never thought they'd take maya,man. i didn't even know about the half a million. -so you're just stupid. and now you've killed my wife and my baby. parker: justin,we know where your wife is. we're here to help you. -my team is working on getting her right now. you're lying. no,no. we're doing everything we can to make sure she comes out of there safely, but hurting your brother's not gonna help anything. this is his fault. -this is your fault! he wrecks everything es touch! blaming him's not the answer,my man. you both lost your parents. i can't even imagine what that was like. -and then you both had to go your separate ways,but you got to stay with family. mike wasn't so lucky,was he? he made his own luck. he's been making his luck ever since. yeah,i'm just saying from his point of view,you got the roof over your head, you got to go to school. -so when he's in trouble he comes to you because you owe him,right? so he messes up,you always help him. he counts on you,and you never let him down. so,this is my fault? i think your only fault is that you're always helping him. -it's hard not to help someone you love,though,right? so,come on,my man. let someone help you for once. we're gonna get your wife out of there. we're gonna get your wife out. -get your hands on your head! hands on your head! hands on your head! boss,we're at the door. answer the phone. -spread the word,man,'cause this is what happens when you break your promise with huesos de tigres! no,please don't.don't do anythingo her,please. you listening?

it can fly...but it only takes two. so you could take us to arcadia one at a time. -look, i think she was lucky to land here once. five or six times would be suicide. no offense. none taken. there has to be another way out. -we have to get to that ship. well... there is the... what? nothing. -look, it would be a waste of your time. i have time to waste. when shit hit the fan, we took refuge in the prison. seemed like the biggest, strongest walls... best chance of keeping those thing out. -by the time we got here, the guards and inmates were already long gone. i guess... when people started eating one another ... wasn't much point to keep anyone locked up. we thought the place was abandoned. -until we made a discoverey. wendell... it's time to take a break. it's about god damn time. i hate being down here. -i hear movement...in the walls. well, let's check it out. we'll be back in a minute. come on. name's chris. -you're the one flying that plane. how do you know that? wendell isn't only one who hears things. i am glad you made it. maybe you can talk some sense into these people's. -what do you mean? isn't it obvious? i'm not a prisoner. i shouldn't be in here. i was working with military unit. -we were using this place as a staging post. things were already pretty bad when the order came through from the governor to release all immates. you see, we need as many people on the streets as possible to fight those things. and it was chaos. we were pulling out and a gang of prisoners jumped me. -guess they thought i was a guard. when i woke up, my unit was gone ... and i was in here. their idea of joke. you don't believe me? -if the others ... you need to get me out of here. we're all trapped here one way or another. that's true but i can help you. seen enough? -you find anything? no. i know way out of this place. you get me out of here i'll do the same for you you'll gonna need me! -have you checked out what its taking about?

holy shit. girl's gotta be prepared. what could you possibly want with those? -it's a hobby. a hobby? all right. well, i'll see you in the morning. no sign of anyone on deck. -your friends are out there. i think so. you don't remember? it's coming back slowly... nothing that makes any sense. -we still have running water. very civilized we do our best. it's cold. our best only goes so far. -these are for you. thank you. i guess i should leave you to it? i guess you should. i'll be right outside. -thank you. luther...? luther? easy, honey. move it! -hey, i'll just be on my way now. okay, take it easy, take it easy. get off my sight. what is that smell? must've burrowed up from the sewers... -wendell said he heard things moving behind the walls. what, so...so...these can just burst out anywhere? we gotta get out of this place. arcadia will send help. no one's coming to get us. -okay? no one. we have to help ourselves. now this plane that you have? it can't hold all of us. -we draw straws... no! we all get out of here and no one is left behind great. how are we gunna do that? -walk out of here...just single file? are you crazy? they didn't want him getting out. that's right. he's dangerous. -angel...what do you think? i think we don't have much of a choice. this is insane. crystal, crystal, crystal? look at me. -what do you think? i mean, not even you're that dumb. i guess i am. i agree with angel. if this guy knows a way out i want to hear it. -all right. seriously? this...this is a mistake. this is a big mistake. you'd better keep your eyes on him. -i was wondering how long it would take. alright, let's get the hell out of here. claire? what? claire, it's me. -it's chris. i don't know you. claire? i'm your brother, remember? what the hell has happened to you? -hey. it's okay. let him go. look, she suffered some sort of memory loss. if you really are her brother... -it will come back. alright, this is very touching... i mean, a family reunion... but if we could just get a move on please? before we are all eaten the fuck alive! -behind those doors is a upv: urban pacification vehicle. prison kept it in case of a serious riot. 16 wheeler, steel plated, water cannon, seats 20 ten tons of fun. -roll on out style, drive right over 'em. the lock's jammed. maybe we could cut through it. when we hit the coast we're going to have to transfer to a boat or something. we gonna need some more fire power. -i got you covered. when i was stationed here we used a room in the basement as an armory. it's got every weapon you can dream of. how do you know you're unit didn't take them with 'em when they pulled out? because...by the end... -there were lot more guns than people to use them. you go get the guns! luther! oh! my god! -what is this? they had pumps to keep the water out of the foundations. when electricity failed, some of the lower levels start filling up. there are another two floors down there how far down is the armory? -all the way. luther, come on! get back! get back! where do you think you're going? -i was swimming champ back in high school. is that right? here. so now you're gonna trust me with a gun? yeah. -why not? luther, just shoot that motherfucker. what the fuck is that thing? all right. let's go. -let's go! nice. damn. there must be hundreds of them out there. we can't go back that way. -oh shit! what? what do you mean, "oh shit!"? what? what is this? -what do you think it is? oh! don't tell me that thing fits inside of there. can you put this back together? maybe, but it could take a week. -what do we do now? i know. bennett... what have you done? luther, we gotta get out of here! -come on! do you hear that? come on, baby. come on! what are we doing? -we getting outta here! but the others... fuck the others! now get on board. bennett! -what are you doing? hey! kim yong! don't do this. open this door! -please! please! bennett! shit! thats right, bitch! -fuck you! yes! yes! fuckin' bitch... i'm sorry. -i'm so sorry. he's heading for the arcadia. alice! come on! hit the cell block! -move! i'll meet you there! this thing has no power! we won't need power! oh shit! -hey, head for the shower block. go! over here! you alright? i'm fine. -thanks. this is a joke, right? no. tunnels leads to the sewers, sewers lead to the storm drains... storm drains leads to sea. -it's our only chance. i'll take point. i got your back. ladies... alright, you next. -i can't do it. you can. let's go! shhh... those things are close. -we found a way out just out there. the tunnel drop into a storm drain. go. where's kim yong? go. -go! knew you'd make it. luther! go! luther! -we can't help him now. we have to move on. no welcome party, huh? looks like bennett made it. let's check inside. -find anyone? nothing. i checked the crew quarters... they're all gone. looks like they left in hurry. -this is arcadia, broadcasting on the emergency frequency. there is no infection. we offer safety and security, food and shelter. fuel...power... everything's running normally. -look at this. it's the ships log. crew launched the life boats three days ago. exactly when the transmission stopped. the answer to this question... is number 4. -you said you're tae jo? yes teacher. most challengers... select number 3 which has the same initial taste, but you found the dough by noticing the aftertaste. during that past 5 years, you are now the 4th person to correctly answer this test. then are you accepting me as your apprentice? -of course. come to the bakery tomorrow. yes. and you! yes! -you come to the bakery tomorrow too. father! teacher! grandpa! but you said the answer is number 4. -yes, the answer is number 4 but you're not wrong either. eh? honestly, all the dough in front of you are made from the same ingredients. the reason they taste differently is because their maturing times are different. you found that out without tasting them, just by smell. -you are the first to do so since this test started. are you saying i passed or failed? you passed! then are you saying that i can officially eat, sleep, and poop in this house from now on? yes! -you can eat, sleep, and poop! then you're saying that i can look for the windmill tattoo as much as i want, right grandpa? yes! you can look for it as much as you want! father! -with this, the test is over. father! ah right. i haven't asked you your name yet. what is your name? -it's kim tak gu. not tak gu because i'm good at ping pong. high tak and saving gu, kim tak gu! father. father, please reconsider. -yes. you must reconsider teacher. father. did you hear them? everyone here says they're against accepting kim tak gu, or tak ja, whatever his name is. -there are hundreds of candidates each year that hope to enter our bakery. they are all highly skilled and extremely talented. but you'll reject all those people and accept that incompetent kid? i cannot understand this, please reconsider. that's what i'm saying! -how could you accept that punk into the pal bong bakery that's full of both tradition and honor? it's absolutely ridiculous! when have i.. when have i only chosen people based on skill? in mok, you. -how were you when we first met? gap soo, you. jin gu. and jae bok. if you understand me then leave. -but father.. what are you going to do about jin gu? it's called jak yun pil bong. if they are fated to meet, it cannot be avoided. whether it's for the better or worse. -isn't that so jin gu? wow. this is the room the two of you use. the bathroom is at the end of the hall and hot water runs from 2 to 3 for one hour, 8 to 9 at night, so plan accordingly. -where do we eat? the restaurant is downstairs. meal times are flexible according to the work schedule. will our clothes be washed? the laundry room is next to the restaurant so you can leave your clothes there each day. -hey! i'm the one asking the questions, why do you keep looking over there? work begins at the bakery at 3 am. you should try not to be late. my father is stricter than he looks. -dang. what's the family tree around here? teacher pal bong is my mother's father, and under him, the head of the bakery is my father. and i'm this family's only daughter, yang mi sun. what? -yang mi sun? look here, fallen soybeans. why are you mi sun? if you have any other questions, you can ask them when you need to. i will. -thank you. do you really think that your name and your face match? i heard you're from japan, i look forward to seeing what kinds of bread you'll make. i look forward to seeing what kinds of bread teacher pal bong's granddaughter will make. -what about changing your name? how's yang fallen soybeans? yang fallen soybeans! -shut up. quietly go inside and just sleep, okay? then, sleep well! soybean lump that fell off the balcony! how noisy. -hey! hey! can't you hear me calling you? you! did you really come from japan? -is it a nice country? do girls really only walk around in kimonos? you must have been on a plane too. and you must have seen clouds up close. how are they? -are they really soft and round like cotton? korean women don't walk around only in hanboks (traditional korean costume) and how can clouds be soft like cotton? didn't you learn in elementary school that they're lumps of moisture? didn't you even go to school? -can you tell? ah, my ignorance is exposed. you're right. i didn't go to school. i'm an elementary school dropout. -honestly, there's someone i need to find. my lost mom. there isn't a single place i haven't looked in all of korea for the past 12 years. that's why i couldn't even think about school- from now on... there are some rules i'll like for you to keep while we share this room. -one, don't start conversations whenever you like. what? rule number two. don't pretend to be friendly. hey. -rule number three. i don't want to hear or know about your personal life stories... so don't blabber on. hey, seo tae jo! you said your name is seo tae jo right? you don't need to compete with me. -i'm going to leave as soon as i find who i need to find. and i don't have any particular interest in bread. so you don't need to create a rivalry with me, okay? dang. he's really cranky. -tak gu. where did he go? i sent him to a very far place. where? a place so far away that he can't ever come back to this house again. -he will never butt into your life ever again. then why? why did he come back, why? that beggar. ah, that feels good. -gu ja lim gu hyung jun lawyer park? yes, it's seo in sook. i have something i need to talk to you about. it's about mr. choi's shares. -line up! this is not your place. huh? here. move the 32 bags of flour here to the downstairs backyard. -i moved all 32 bags of flour! is that good? it's good. now bring them back to their original spot. what? -i said to put all 32 bags back in their original spot. look here! are you training a dog or something? exactly. i'm currently training a dog. -now put them back now! oh i should...! there are two easy ways to leave this house. one is to throw a punch in the bakery and get kicked out. the other is to innocently give up and leave. -which one will you be? that's hilarious. who said i'm going to get kicked out? who said i'm going to give up? there's no way that's going to happen. -i'm not leaving until i find the windmill tattoo. i can't leave! really? then keep moving those bags of flour. that fallen soybean! -are you sure that's kim tak gu? yes. i'm positive. how is that kid at that house? why? -take care of it. i've pulled up the car president. president? ah yes. okay. -but why suddenly incheon? i thought it's been a while since i've seen teacher. you mean now? yes now. let's go. -you have a great son. he looks like the president so is very handsomely tall. ja kyung is a bit late. her life's completely overtaken with company work lately. she's in charge of the annual foundation party next week. -kids these days are different from our generation, they're so active and achieving. she's still just a woman. ah right. they say a japanese artist is releasing three paintings, madam mo, you like exhibitions right? -ja kyung! i'm sorry i'm late. i was just telling her how busy you are because of company work. company work must be fun? i don't have enough of a career for it to be fun yet. -she's just doing it now for the experience. she'll have to stop when she gets married. i know there are rumors that geosung's financial situation isn't well, but you're working your daughter too? seems a bit shameful. i don't know how you heard what you did, but we're not so weak of a company to work their daughter because of bad financial situation. -i'm doing work that i like and want to learn. ja kyung, i heard you were smart, but you shouldn't talk back to adults. i'm sorry if i offended you. you just said what needed to be said, why are you sorry? as a company goes through business, the finances can be difficult or flourish. -for over thirty years, geosung has overcome... numerous obstacles like this one. but we have never fallen and we maintained our spot as the leader of bakeries. and we will stay that way for thirty more years. what are you saying... i'm saying there's a huge difference between us... and the new rich like you who were lucky enough to hit a jackpot. -look here madam seo! i arranged this meeting because i thought you were a person of personality and character but.. i suppose there's nothing you can do about the newly rich. i find myself pathetic for once having thought to unite our families. there's no need to stay any longer. -get up. mom! wait! let's go together! you! -quit the company immediately! mom! what kind of embarrassment is this? must i suffer such humiliation from people like that? how could you and your father stress me out like this? -you set this up and you ended it! i didn't want to come but i came because i was worried about your reputation. shut up! i don't care. quit the company immediately. -mom! i don't like anything you do. i don't like you and i don't like your father. i don't like the way the company or the family is going. i'm not going to just watch with my arms crossed anymore. -i'm going to put everything in its right place again. so first you quit the company immediately. do as i say. do you understand? it's me lawyer park. -did you find out about what i asked? really? there's nothing we can do. let's buy them all at that price. how many times is that? -4 times. really? he's already gone up and down with 32 bags? aigoo. he's got a lot of spunk. -i thought he'd quit. are you tired already? is this all you've got? if you're this weak, how will you stand all day every day and make bread? you said i'm weak? -off the incheon shores you may find soda, but if you have no cup, you can't drink at all. i'm still fine. okay? thanks. i... had 36 bags. -i mean the number of bags i had to move when i first came here. it might be hard but they're a reason they're making you do this so.. it's not very hard. honestly... i'm starting to feel good. -the days of my life... have been much heavier than these 32 bags. thinking about finding mom, thinking about finding the windmill tattoo. thinking about getting revenge on the guy that did this to us every day. my head was full of those thoughts. but all those worries have completely left my mind. -i can't even remember the last time i sweated like this without any thoughts. i'm a bit sorry to mom... but i was about to think, wouldn't it be okay to just have one day like this? you're not him right? the person i'm looking for? of course not. -that's why you brought me this water, right? go back to work. wait. if i take out that hyung, the people that are left are... stone king and axe eyes. -is it just those two? it's more likely to be axe eyes than stone king. thank you! enjoy! hello, it's the bakery. -okay, i'll come down. we have guests. how can i help you? kim tak gu is here right? huh? -tell him to come out. what kind of business.. tell that punk kim tak gu to come out! what's with all the questions? tell him to come out now! -what's that noise? hey, you heard something downstairs, right? long time no see in mok. gap su, have you been well too? yeah, it's good to see you il jung. -i mean, president gu. what brought you here? i came to see teacher. don't stand around and sit. oppa, sit. -yes. il jung's here? teacher! yes, il jung! yes. -okay. what are you people doing right now? you can't just mess up the store and throw a fit! so, bring kim tak gu out! i'll take him and disappear! -if you keep doing this, i'll call the police! what's the police going to do? what do you mean, i'll have them arrest you! are you going to fool around? don't fool around and let go of this hand! -this girl! you're kim tak gu. yeah, i'm kim tak gu. why is weak trash like you looking for a famous person like myself? you need to come with me, kim tak gu. -i don't want to. then we have no choice. we'll have to beat and take you. are you okay? hey, are you okay? -they're no joke. you want to see some blood? you're all dead! what are you doing? go get father! -ah, father! how many years has it been? i'm sorry for creating little excuses and not coming to see you. no, no. you run a big business, of course you're busy. -there's nothing to apologize for. next week is the 30th anniversary of the founding of our company. they say time flies! it seems like it's only been three years since the company started but it's been already thirty years! so.. -i brought an invitation, for you to assist, sir. an invitation? geosung 30th anniversary party. if it's an anniversary party, will everyone be decked out in tuxedos and dresses? excuse me, i'll leave first. -i didn't finish work in the bakery. teacher! president! there's trouble! gangsters barged into the store! -what? are you trying to catch a mosquito? how will we settle this today with such weak fists? i didn't come to settle this, i came to take you! i'm sorry but i have important business in this house. -i'm not going anywhere until i handle that business! this punk! crush them! stop right there! you dare to use violence in my store? -i will not let this go! get out now! i said if you give me kim tak gu, i'll disappear! jin gu. take tak gu and go upstairs. -what are you doing, i said go upstairs! i think it's very hectic outside, shouldn't i... no. there's no need. in mok went so he'll take care of it. -you have a meeting tonight with oh seong company's representative. you'll be late if you don't leave in the next ten minutes, president. call him and tell him i'll be late. or move the date to tomorrow. no, there's no need. -go on. i know the invitation is an excuse and you came because your mind is unsettled. i've also heard that your company is having a hard time lately. as your teacher, i don't have much power to help you. the only thing i have to tell you... is to rest occasionally as you work, il jung. -look at the sky and look at the mountains. and occasionally look at the people around you. everything's great about you but you only race while looking ahead. that's why you cannot be happy. i have nothing to say, teacher. -if we meet again, let's play... a round of checkers. yes teacher. get in! get in! get in! -hurry! what do we do? how much is all this? i'm so upset. this is all because of that kid, tak gu. -the gangsters said they came to take him, right? the way i see it, that kid is a bad apple. we should never have taken in an unlucky kid like him. honey! can we keep housing kim tak gu or kim tak ja, whatever he is? -this is what i think. i think we should beg the teacher and kick him out! don't you think so in mok? mi sun. get two bags of ice and bring it up to those two upstairs. -honey! in mok! i can't believe it. for the past 12 years... i thought of today every day. -i thought of meeting you... again and again. when i met you, i was going to beat you to death. and ask, why did you do it? why did you kidnap my mom? -where is my mom now? where is my mom? where is my mom? is she alive and well? you don't have to answer anything else. -just tell me my mom is alive and well. she's alive and well, right? right? don't do this to me. don't... forgive me. -don't. you... don't forgive me. i said don't you bastard! don't do this. -don't ask for forgiveness! don't apologize! you don't have to do this so just tell me where my mom is. tell me my mom is well you bastard! i... -i couldn't hold her. i... i didn't know there was a cliff. if i... had just run a little faster. if i... had caught your mom a bit earlier. -no! no! no! even if you say you'll kill me, i have no right to hate you. -truly.. i'm sorry. shut up, don't say that you bastard! my mom is alive! she's doing well! -say it! say it you bastard! what's that noise? i'm not sure. i thought i heard crying. -look here, tae jo. look here, tae jo! yes, sunbae. while you're throwing that out, throw this out too. yes. -il jung. are you really leaving? we haven't seen each other in so long and we didn't even drink, how upsetting. that child.. does he work here? -yeah, he's a newbie. he came in yesterday. he came from japan and he seems pretty skilled. really? but why? -what's wrong? no, it's nothing. tak gu. what are you doing here? i heard you didn't eat anything all day. -follow me. what are you doing? i'm making bread. how should i... live from now on? until now... -i searched for my mom, i only lived thinking about that. now he said i can't find my mom. how should i live from now on? you must wait. -huh? so that the bread bakes well. you must wait so that it bakes deliciously. i... hate bread. when i see bread... hateful memories come back -i think of hateful people... so i hate bread... enough to break out into hives. when i swallow bread... i hate it enough to throw up. then you have not lived life as a good person. living life as a good person means getting rid of hate, anger, and dislike. -when your mom told you to live life as a good person, that's what she must have meant. don't hate and don't get angry, understand and forgive. then can't you dominate the world? grandpa. how do you know that? -12 years ago, i saw the gaze of a young boy. it was honest and true and had no fear. but your gaze now is shaky... and full of hatred. now... how about making amends with this bread? -haven't there been times when you've been happy because of bread? think about those happy memories. and... make amends with the hatred and hurtful memories in your heart. you'll choke, drink as you eat. do you know that? -you're a son that's more precious than gold to me. i know. in this whole world, i only have you. i know. -drink as you eat. you'll choke. it was unexpected. i never dreamed you would be in that place. i didn't know either. -that you and father would suddenly show up there. how did you think to learn about bread from your father's teacher? do i have to explain every detail of that to you? today's ruckus.. that was your work, right? -you sent the gangsters and created a scene. there was a flaw. your plans have always been flawed from the beginning. after meeting that punk, tak gu again... i realized... that fate is more persistent than i thought. -you're not a god, how can you change that persistent fate? whether it's fate or ill-fate, i'll take care of it. don't take care of it. don't mess with tak gu anymore. if he's gotten rid of, i'll be the one to do it. -if he's knocked over, i'll be the one to knock him over. i'll take care of the ill-fated relationship with him, so don't get in the way. if you get in the way one more time, i'll think of it as blocking my own path. ma jun. -i'm not using that name for now. don't use that name. make sure to attend the company's anniversary party. your mother will be expecting you. if you don't tell mother about any of this, -i'll think about it. i'm sorry. fate.. i realized it's more persistent that i thought. excuse me. -hey! yu kyung! you're not a god. how can you change that persistent fate? right? -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad main translator: serendipity timer: hitomi83 editor/qc: koreanpears coordinators: mily2, ay_link -that kid is back. even if you have to risk your life, stop that kid. hello madam! bring my poor mom back to life! how dare you cause a scene in this home! -? you didn't know? really? you said you would take care of it? how far are you going to go? -that depends on what you do. do you know that? you're a very special son to me. brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad are you okay? -look here. episode 15 please leave it. i can clean it up. are you an apprentice who works here? -yes. when i first started to learn about breads, i often burned them. if i tried to make the bread a certain shape, and baked it for too long, all the moisture would leave and it would burn. or, if i baked it for too short in a strong fire, the bread would collapse. you must adjust the top and bottom flames according to the size of the bread. -but as a beginner, it's not easy to get it right. excuse me! then... what should i do about bread becoming dry and flaky? well, you should add as much moisture back as what's been heated off. -find out for yourself how to maintain that moisture. because only what you discover can really be yours. yes, i understand. first... you should clean your face. -but... what is your name? just call me mr. kim. that's fine. your gaze is very nice. it makes me wonder what the bread you bake would taste like. -i'll be going now. what you taught me today? i will never forget it! thank you! you will be blessed, president! -yes. thank you. you were here, il jung hyung? yes, in mok. i was on my way down. -introduce yourself. this is geosung foods president gu il jung. hello. he's seo tae jo, who studied abroad in japan, and he is a famous boulangere for the next generation. oh, really. -il jung! please sit and drink something refreshing! thank you, but i must get going. you're going already? why don't you see father? -seeing you is enough. anyway, i heard a competition starts tomorrow. he must have a lot on his mind. it would be better not to bother him. still... -i'm upset. it's been a while since you've been here. will you be participating in the competition, too? yes, i will. do your best. -yes. i will try my hardest. goodbye! you came out earlier than i thought. teacher was a bit busy. -i will never forget it! thank you! you will be blessed, president! how did that boy know to call me president? huh? -it's nothing. i just met an amusing kid. that person earlier... the president of geosung foods. yeah. -what did you two talk about in the bakery? we didn't talk about much. i burned bread, fell, bumbled around. i just showed myself being a mess. you really didn't talk about much? -yeah. why? nothing. i was just curious. he was really a great person. -warm and caring. it would be really great if that kind of person was your father, right? why? you don't have a father? of course i do. -although we parted a long time ago. why haven't you found him? next time. when i've succeeded more than now, and i'm better off. then i'll go find him and say hello. -why not now? you don't have the confidence? the last words my father said to me were, "you're a very special son to me. " but as you can see, i'm nothing right now. -forget special, i'm not even average. when i gain more confidence in myself... then i want to confidently approach him. what kind of person is your father? your father is very proud of you, right? -i'm going to sleep. don't talk to me. huh? you're going to sleep already? did you forget the competition starts tomorrow? -aren't you too relaxed for a kid who can't even bake properly? why would i be relaxed? but, seo tae jo... ah... punk. good night, man. -will he even be able to enter the competition properly? i heard he hasn't baked a single thing correctly. he won't be able to even pass the first round and he'll definitely be eliminated. but you know... if it's that kid, i think he can do it. -what do you mean by that? isn't he the kid who raced here by only searching for his mom for 12 years? aren't you curious as to what other goals that sort of kid could race to next? doesn't he make you curious? you say a similar thing to what father said. -it's because i'm curious. success. success! i... i'm curious as to what will happen to him next. -is it really not possible? what's not possible? is it really not possible? you can just do it. right? -positions! is everyone here? yes, teacher! today is the first day of the competition, as promised. i know you have contemplated this during the past week. -those who would like to participate in the competition, take a step forward. i told that punk... is it just the two of you? mi sun, you too? yes, grandfather. -i would like to receive recognition as a patissier from you and father, who only recognize boulangeres. mi sun. if i pass the competition to the third round, please allow me to sell my whipped cream cakes in the store. i will show you that i can be a master chef not just in bread, but in cakes as well. this punk... -i understand. that kind of challenge mindset is great. thank you, grandfather. then... are these three people it? -a kid who doesn't even know how to bake bread is going to enter the competition? a passing starling would laugh! if bread was that easy to make at that level, dogs and cows would make it. entering the competition at this state is conceited and reckless. reconsider it. -forget beating seo tae jo, will you even pass the first round? believe in yourself just a little more, tak gu. it makes me wonder what the bread you bake would taste like. okay. these people are the final contestants for the competition. -you, too? yes. i would like to participate in this competition, too. i've never seen such an unbelievable guy. you can't even bake properly, how dare you try to compete in the teacher's competition? -i will do what i can. you said a person without skill will be eliminated in the first round, anyway. if you just give me the opportunity, although i may be eliminated, i would like to try. my goodness. -this is what i think, teacher. that kind of kid who doesn't know his position, and messes around, should start from the bottom by washing dishes. so now... there are four final contestants? yes. -in mok. yes. i will tell you the theme of the first challenge. make the most filling bread in the world. make the most filling bread in the world. -i will give you 15 days. in 15 days, make what you think is the most filling bread. mom! yes, ja kyung. do you have an appointment with father today? -no. i have some other business to see to. you take care of your business. madam. you're here? -i didn't receive notice and was unable to meet you in advance. i'm sorry. no. i suddenly changed my mind and came. it's fine. -but the president is out now. you said you're miss shin? may i ask you for a cup of coffee? when you set down a teacup, don't let it make a sound. i hate listening to it clanging crudely. -i'm sorry. sit. are you going to keep making me repeat myself? i said sit. okay. -so let's hear it. how did you bare your face and make it here? what do you mean? who helped you get this far? were you still secretly meeting my ma jun? -did you ask ma jun and grab an assistant position? i didn't get this position that way. without anyone's help, i was accepted because of my skill and became an employee. and i came to this assistant's office fairly, with my strength. fairly? -you didn't have anywhere else to go fairly, so it happened to be geosung foods? it had to be geosung foods. what? then i could show you properly. that shin yu kyung, who was kicked out of the hospital room like a criminal... that shin yu kyung, who was kicked out of her room and had nowhere to go... what kind of girl she is. -what she can do if she puts her mind to it. still... you should have checked to see if it was a place you could lay down, before stretching out your legs! do you know what kind of place this is, for you to dare to take a spot here? it seems like there are some things that seem to work, even when someone like me tries. -if you have nothing else to say, i'll excuse myself. who said you could stand as you wish? rude. i wasn't finished speaking, and you stand and turn your back to me? i have work i must finish. -you're cocky because your face is decent and you're a bit smart, but you're just an activists group alum who rents cheap rooms. it means your intentions are obvious. ma jun? you dare to? stop dreaming. -i'll leave first. where's manager han? he said he would stop by the general affairs department, then come upstairs. i have something to talk to him about, so tell him to hurry and come up. yes. -fate is no longer on your side. manager han, madam is waiting inside. okay. what brings you here, madam? i heard you were looking for me. -no, it's nothing. the only people who were there that night are you and me. the only people who also know what happened that night are you and me. don't think of me as the same han seung jae of ten years ago. don't underestimate me anymore, in sook. -what's wrong? did something happen? no. it's nothing. fate is no longer on your side. -fate is no longer on your side. that person... how? why? what are you staring at dumbly? -what the heck is the most filling bread in the world? does it mean the biggest bread in the world? if that's what you think, then that must be the answer. don't be like that, just give me a hint. grandfather already gave us the hint. -make what each of you think is the most filling bread. the answer is to make what you think is the most filling bread. so what is that? thinking of that answer is the point of this challenge. all those participating in the competition, to your positions. -positions! this is your budget for the ingredients to be used in the first round. i gave you all the same amount. excuse me. if we run out, can we use our own money? -that is not allowed. then it cannot be a fair competition. the ingredients and receipts will be checked each day by gap soo, jin gu, and i. if we find you've secretly used ingredients from the supply room or purchased more, you will immediately be disqualified. additionally... -you must not slack off on your daily work while you're in the competition. if you slack off on bread to be sold in the store because of the competition, that will also be reason for disqualification. you must all keep this in mind. understand? yes, we understand! -he's so cheap. 50,000 won for fifteen days worth of ingredients? why? is that not enough? and then we have to work as usual. -when are we going to make the competition bread? why? is there not enough time? make the bread in the given time, while limiting your budget. that's what it is. -anyway, it's not an easy test. of course it's not easy. i heard not even ten people have received my grandfather's certificate of recognition. then gap soo ajusshi hasn't received the certificate of recognition either? i don't think so... -oh, really? so if i receive the certificate of recognition, i'll be one step above gap soo ahjussi? wow! i'm going to head in now. -i need to prepare the dough. i'm going to buy my ingredients. but, mi sun... how much flour do i have to buy for fifteen days worth? you have a long way to go. -a long way to go. what are you doing now? nothing. it's nothing. the most filling bread in the world... -the most filling bread in the world... what the heck is that? i don't get it. what now? how is our famously scary teacher like a toothless tiger... when it comes to a kid like tak gu? -with this test too! how could he allow a lousy kid who can't even bake... to participate in the competition, right? father must have his reasons. this is what i think, in mok. -teacher is now getting too old. the day for him to think about retiring soon... will never come, right! teacher will stay by our side forever, right? eat up. tae jo! -you've been practicing until now? come eat some watermelon. it's fine. i'll head up now. wow, tae jo's practicing like crazy. -he's risking that much of his life on this competition. so you two focus and do it right, got it? yes. anyway, it seems like tak gu isn't practicing at all. is he making the bread for the day of the competition? -i don't know. what is he thinking? we have prepared the car, president. can you escort me today, miss shin? you're friends with ma jun? -no. i haven't met him since college, president. is it you? that activist friend that ma jun asked me to help two years ago? yes. -it should be. i see. if you really came all the way here with ma jun as your goal, stop now. if you submit your resignation, i will compensate you as much as you ask. i'm sorry, sir. -gu ma jun and i have no connection. why must i keep hearing his name? why must i keep receiving such treatment because of that name? because madam thinks that way. i'll give you a month, so think about it carefully. -my wife thinks of my son in a most special way. although she may say some harsh words, don't take it to heart. yes, president. really? it's really shin yu kyung? -i wasn't sure at first, but manager han said so. that it is shin yu kyung. mom already came to the assistants office today and threw a fit. i see. mom, how could she? -she shouldn't do that at the office, right? more than that, why did that shin yu kyung girl have to come to our company? i don't know, either. i haven't met her once since then. anyway, mom is and always has been too much. -don't you agree, unni? it's true, but there's always been a reason when she acts that way. what do you mean? to be honest, that shin yu kyung girl bothers me. so don't call ma jun and tell him any nonsense. -got it? huh? okay. then shall i begin baking some bread today? who is it? -is someone there? what's that? sodium bicarbonate. what are you doing there? oh, seo tae jo. -i thought i heard something, so i came in and this was here. seo tae jo. your dough is doing that too? your dough is like that too? oh, geez... -mi sun. is your dough like that too? the dough is completely dead. it won't rise at all. what happened? -maybe someone added something? someone added something? there's no smell or taste... there's no doubt, it's that. that? what's that? -since long ago when apprentices got in trouble and kicked out, it was a nasty joke to tick off the managers. it was mixing sodium bicarbonate into the flour. sodium bicarbonate? flour mixed with sodium bicarbonate won't rise. in other words, it's dead flour. -then, do you mean we won't be able to ever use this flour? what's going on? father, i think someone put sodium bicarbonate in their flour. the flour of these three contestants of the competition is unusuable. what? -i suspect it's a dirty trick by someone blinded by desire to win the competition. it's true. this is a foul caused deliberately by someone. so you'll give us additional funds for the unusuable flour... right, grandfather? you'll give it to us... right, grandfather? -there are no additional funds. take it from the budget that was already given to you. but grandfather! there's not enough money left for additional ingredients! it's your responsibility for failing to protect it! -so give up your hopes for additional funds. which jerk did this? filling bread, filling bread... the most filling bread in the world... that's bread you eat when you're hungry. -they say hunger is the best sauce. i can't starve teacher pal bong before he eats my bread. seo tae jo, are you already done practicing? what are you doing? i told you myself not to hold back, but i didn't know you'd do this. -now i'm starting to get nervous. what are you talking about? the sodium bicarbonate in the flour, that was you, right? what? you were caught by me at the scene that morning! -am i wrong? i don't know what you've misunderstood, seo tae jo... but i didn't do anything and i wasn't caught for anything! so let go of this hand! kim tak gu! is this all you are? -the type who lacks skills and resorts to this trickery? i said, let go of this hand, seo tae jo! it's two years! i waited two years for this competition! i threw away two years of my life to go against trash like you, you son of a beggar! -but you screw me over like this? what? son of a beggar? did you just call me a son of a beggar? yeah, you dirty son of a beggar! -what's that noise? is the house falling apart? what do we do? they must be fighting! stop it. -stop. i won't say who is more at fault. whoever started it, whoever was wrong first, since a fight occurred, you are both responsible! as punishment, both of you are forbidden from the bakery for one week. but father... -there are only 12 days left until the first round. if they cannot enter the bakery for one week, that means they must prepare for the competition in the remaining five days. yes, teacher. it's too unfair. then, is it fair not to take responsibility for your faults? -but the competition is almost here! i waited two years for it. if the competition was that important, you should have acted more carefully! and you, tak gu... is it true you were holding sodium bicarbonate in the supply room? -but i didn't put sodium bicarbonate in the flour. i didn't know at all that if you put sodium bicarbonate in the flour, it won't ferment. but you were seen in a situation that puts you in suspicion... and three other people, excluding you, have unusable flour. how can i get rid of that suspicion? i will do everything you say. -can you give those three people money for their flour out of your budget? huh? but teacher, then i won't even have 20,000 won left. are you telling me to give up the competition? if you cannot give them the money, those three people may be eliminated. -what will you do? even if you receive suspicion, will you have three people eliminated, and continue the competition? or will you reimburse the cost of the flour for those three people? doesn't this mean that the competition's over for the two of them? yeah. -the situation's gotten really nasty. well, tak gu committed a crime, but it's unfortunate for tae jo. we're not even totally sure that tak gu added the sodium bicarbonate. and if tak gu's not the real criminal, it's really unfair for him too. oh, my goodness. -how did this happen? what are you planning on doing? what do you mean? before they make bread, i'm trying to make them people. but if you forbid them from the bakery for a week, aren't tak gu and tae jo forced to give up the competition? -if they are going to quit because of that, that's all they are. father... let's wait and see. this is another technique in holding the competition. total 25,800 won. -you must be going somewhere. then what are you up to at this time? i stopped by because i was worried something was wrong. i couldn't reach you ever since that day at the office. how did you take care of that girl, shin yu kyung? -did you kick her out of the assistants office? i told her so she would understand. i'm not satisfied with only telling her so she would understand. definitely draw the line. madam. -you said you're changed now. you said you're not the same han seung jae of ten years ago. then clearly show me your changed self. you know more than anyone else how many things were ruined... because of your petty sympathy. so crush this as a sprout. -got it? from my desk... was it you who took that letter? were you the one who took it? what letter? -why? was there a letter i shouldn't have seen on your desk that day? if it's not you, forget it. you said it, right? that only you and i know what happened that night. -so, i wonder. who could have known and sent that blackmail letter? and for two years now, why haven't you found a clue as to who sent it? or... are you deliberately not finding out? i'm sorry. -but i'm not the kind of woman you can hold in your hand with that sort of method. if you were hoping that i would be scared by that and hang to you more, that's a huge mistake. are you suspecting me? are you thinking i sent you that letter? of course, i hope that it's not you. -why? why? is there something you need? may i have a glass of water? here you go. -i'm thinking of acting slowly with president na. will that be okay? have you been well, madam? what's the reason for asking to meet so suddenly? we must recollect the funds we gave you when you bought your stocks. -look here, president na. what kind of situation is this? without a warning or notice? didn't we lend it to you in the first place stating two years? we agreed at the settlement to extend the time! -i'm sorry, but we cannot extend the time anymore. we're in an urgent situation. are you really going to do business this way? if you don't have the cash, we can accept the stocks that you have. it seems like monsoon season will arrive soon. -this year's monsoon season seems like it will be quite long. what's up with you? just because. i was curious if you're doing well. did mom send you? -no, that's not it! you should order something. no, thanks. is something wrong? your face seems a bit... -it's none of your business. just tell me what you want. what are you doing here? ma jun, you're not still meeting shin yu kyung, right? what do you mean? -why suddenly shin yu kyung? did you hear some news? to be honest... yu kyung is working at father's assistants office. what? -you didn't know at all? jin gu hyung. what's wrong? do you know geosung foods manager han? he said it's the money that person gave him. -putting the sodium bicarbonate in the flour, and leaking the gas two years ago... that was all his work. tak gu, you decide what you're going to do now. i'm going to do as you say. if you tell me to kill him, i'll kill him. -jin gu hyung. and if you tell me to drag him in front of the pal bong family, and expose everything he's done, i will. then you can prove your innocence. everything that's happened can return to its rightful place. what would you like to do? -you can't. please, just don't do that. tak gu, i was wrong. i was really wrong. i was so blinded by money. -i was tempted when he said he could give me my own store. that's why you did it. still... how could you do that? how could you do that to a person for money? -what if i had gone blind? what if i had died? i deserve to die, tak gu. please spare me once. consider it saving my life and forgive me once. -if the pal bong family finds out the truth, there's no doubt i'll be kicked out. then i have nowhere to go, tak gu. i have nowhere to go but here! instead of here... what are you going to do? -do you know what this competition means to me? get up. what are you going to do? tak gu. hurry and get up! -hurry up and get up! tak gu! spare me once! forgive me once! tak gu! -long time no see, gu ma jun. let's go in. brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad main translator: serendipity spot translators: songbird, meju -timer: gleemonex editor/qc: langdon813 coordinators: mily2, ay_link i'm here to see manager han seung jae. -if you can last for three days without taking off that rope for one moment, i will remove my forbiddance from the bakery. mother. mother! what you fear most is me going up to president... and revealing my identity, isn't it? -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad hold on! mrs. gong! mrs. gong! yes, president! -did you place mother's picture on her memorial table? yes, i did. did you notice anything strange when you placed it? no, nothing was wrong when i put it there. why, did i do something wrong? -no... no. it's okay now. let's go. doctor! doctor! -doctor, it's a burn, a burn! this way. yes, quickly. gently. tak gu! -tak gu! guardians, please leave. hurry. hurry. tak gu. -it's not like it was anyone else, how did jin gu make this mistake? he's the most meticulous person in our bakery. still... thank goodness this is all that happened. when i first heard that noise i thought, "someone must have died. " -really. anyway, that tak gu really is a nuisance. the accidents haven't stopped since he came here. instead of kim tak gu, we'll have to start calling him kim troublemaker. anyway, how much is it going to cost us to replace the ovens? -father. what are you doing over there? it's all my fault. i always checked for the smell of gas, but i was careless today. don't be too hard on yourself. -that's how accidents are. when you're careful 100 times but careless once, that's when they happen. doctor, how is our tak gu? we woke the patient up. the burns are minor so they should heal in about two weeks. -but the problem is not the burns, it's his eyes. huh? his eyes? during the explosion, it seems he hurt his eyes. we can't tell if it's a temporary symptom of the burns or if they've been damaged. -you'll have to get a more thorough examination... at the larger hospital in seoul. doctor. how long do i need to keep this bandage on? it's frustrating to have my eyes covered. i can take it off today, right? -doctor. is that you, fallen soybeans? yeah. figures. you were shocked by this, right? -it's okay, there's no need to be shocked. it's just temporary. hey, tak gu. why? let's go to the big hospital together tomorrow. -they said you'll need to get a more thorough examination. to see if it's a just a burn or if they've been damaged. that doctor said he'd be back soon, but why's he still missing? it's really frustrating because he wrapped up my eyes like this! tak gu, listen to me. -you're such a worrywart! big hospital, whatever. thorough examination, whatever. tak gu. i'm kim tak gu. -this sort of thing doesn't faze me. want to see for real? what are you doing right now? you can't take those off! tak gu! -hey, hey, hey! just leave it, man! just let go of me! tak gu! tak gu! -you punk! how can you just take the bandages off like that? doctor! doctor! what happened? -lay him down. please lay down. doctor, why are my eyes like this? calm down and stay still. i said why are my eyes like this? -we can only do basic emergency procedures. you'll have to get a thorough examination... at a big hospital to find the cause. hold on. i gave him an antibiotic shot. hello? -okay. got it. then i'll deposit it as promised. good work. risk your life. -risk your life and stop that child. understand? i've already risked everything. i've thrown away my life and self-respect. for ma jun and... for you. -murderer you thought i'd be scared by this kind of thing? did you think i would cower in fear, mother? no way. i'm sorry, but you've already passed away and i'm still alive. -and i came all the way here. i have no intention of backing down. i'll do whatever it takes and make ma jun his successor. just watch, mother. student yu kyung! -hello, ahjumma. are you late for this month's rent, too? with this month's rent that's three months! there isn't even enough of the deposit left. i can only let it slide once or twice because you're a student. -if you do this, it's difficult for me too! i'm sorry. if you give me just one more week, i'll get it to you then. you're just too much. i live off the rent! -at this rate, i'll starve to death too! want to go out and drink? sit. two beers here! i heard you met my mom at the hospital. -does that run in the family? if something doesn't work as planned, try to handle it with money? sort of. so what are you going to do for me first? clothes first, or money first? -or are you going to pay my rent immediately? what can you do for me first? what you... you said you'll do everything for me. that's what you said. -that depends on how you start. if you start with a kiss, or if you start with a hot first night. is that what it takes? kissing you, and spending a night with you? i can become your woman with just that? -it's easier than i thought. okay, sounds great. what? a kiss, a night together, i can give you all that. instead, for me to like you or to look only at you, don't expect any of that. -don't even think about interfering with who i keep in my heart, or who i long for. if you start acting that way, it'll get tiresome. what do you want to do? what should we start with? a kiss? -or... you... you're less fun than i thought. i knew you'd do this. i almost believed you. -you said this was easy. is it really? next time you reject me, make it believable. the attempt was okay, but you were caught so easily. it's boring. -right? you jerk! dear customers, we're sorry. due to a store emergency, we'll be closed until tomorrow. what? -what are you saying, father? are you saying that someone deliberately leaked the gas? be quiet. but why? it's more urgent to find out who did it, not why. -who it was that did such a disgraceful thing. if we can find out who he is, we can find out why. treating tak gu's eyes come first. focus on that first, and then we shall discuss the next matter later. yes, father. -then, you're saying someone did it deliberately? that's right! that's what teacher said. who? that's ridiculous! -that means it had to be one of us. it's ridiculous! absolutely impossible! i know, i don't even want to think about it. anyway, this is how i feel. -at core of all this is tak gu. and it's the truth that's he's definitely the seed of all these troubles. so where is tak gu right now? that's a mystery. he became a little strange. -what a smell! is it good? it's delicious. then eat that and let's go to the big hospital in seoul. tak gu! -i'm full! thanks, fallen soybeans! now stop being stubborn and let's go to the big hospital in seoul, okay? no baking today? kim tak gu. -oh, right. it'll be hard to make bread because of the oven. we already replaced the ovens and we're closed... until tomorrow because the bakery smells burnt. so let's go to the big hospital in seoul and get a thorough examination. you have nothing to lose. -what do you mean, nothing to lose? if you lose something, you lost it. i don't want to waste money on such useless things. and i don't have that kind of money, anyway. who told you to worry about money? -stop acting like a child and get up now. i said i'm not going. you're really not going to get up? even when i broke my legs in a fight, i didn't go to the hospital. even when i ate trash and almost died from stomach pains, -i didn't touch the door of a hospital. hospital? even if you don't go there, it all heals as it should. you punk. hey! -tak gu, why are you so pig-headed? what are you going to do if something goes wrong and you go blind? father! stop being stubborn, follow us and let's get an examination! and if i go get the examination? -what are you going to do then? what are you going to do, if they say i can never see again? what are you going to do, if they say i can never see my mom's face again? so you're saying you can't go? because you're scared you'd hear such things? -yeah, i'm scared. i'm scared to death! i have no confidence. now i just barely just started to want to do something. i have a dream, a hope, for the first time in my life. -if they say i won't be able to see again... i don't have the confidence to live after losing everything again. so please just leave me alone. until i can make myself believe i'll be okay, please just leave me alone! tak gu! -so, are you giving up? if you're just going to give up without even starting, just tell me now. what happened with what i asked to you find out? i'm sorry. i can't get a grasp on anyone. -if you gave me some more information on who is likely to send that letter... it would be much easier. little madam they said the president's meeting is almost over. you should go up. okay. -let's go soon. kim mi sun. huh? kim tak gu's mother. look for that person who disappeared twelve years ago. -see if she's dead or alive. and if she's alive, where she's hiding. got it? thank you for your cooperation. it's an honor for us to invest in a firm businessman like yourself. -i will meet you again soon. take care. you have a meeting with representative seo il yung at the sky lounge right away. okay. let's go up. -wait, stop! president. what's wrong? no way. it can't be. -huh? did you not see? who do you mean? no. nothing. -it can't have been her. they said they would accept our investment. and they agreed to give stocks in exchange for the investment? at first they strongly refused, but our terms were not bad. also, geosung foods is introducing a new technique from france... and plans on replacing all their factory systems in the country. -so, for the time being, i believe they're leaning toward strengthening their capital. then how long will it take to receive the stocks that we want? at least one year, two or three at most, and you will receive the stocks that you want. good work, president na. then... -two to three years? i don't know if my eyes will hold out until then. how are you feeling? i'm okay. withdraw from school for this year and go get some fresh air in europe. -it's not that bad, mom. it's okay. listen to me. and that girl shin yu kyung, your colleague. yeah, what about her? -where does she live? why do you need to know that? if it's because of me... it's not just because of you, it's because of ma jun too. why ma jun? -no way. ma jun and yu kyung? i met her for myself, she's a very frightening girl. she's very serious business. i thought to just let it go, but that girl's gaze makes me uneasy. -there's no way. ma jun is not yu kyung's type. when seducing a man who's well off, no one has a type. but yu kyung's really not like that. you must be wrong, yu kyung is... -she's the type to step all over him if you let her. you should cut down the chances of people who get in your way. tell me now. where does she live? mom. -i said where is it? that person, who made me smile... that person, who made me cry... that person... with warm lips, that person... has found my heart... -i can't erase that person i can't forget that person that person is like my breath that person is leaving... that person, my love... -my hurting heart... that person who doesn't know anything... i loved you, and i loved you again, i have no choice, but to let you go... my person... -although my heart is in pieces, although those memories stab me, the falling tears of that person, it hurts me even more... that person, my love, my hurting heart... that person who doesn't know anything, instead of tears, instead of sadness, forget me and live happily... my love... -when our lives end, and when we close our eyes, remember once then, that person, my love, my hurting heart... that person who doesn't know anything, i loved you, and i loved you again, i have no choice but to let you go... -my love... my love... my love... hey, kids. you've been well? -i only saw him make bread once. but he looked so marvelous, i could never forget it. so you made these like a habit during the past 12 years? you said you hated bread to death. what i was making wasn't bread. -i was making memories with that person. it's done. it's done now. thank you for everything! it's done. -it's all done now. what are you saying is done? what poor skill. they're different shapes and made however you like. to be honest, i made the dough, but i thought if i didn't make it, it would get thrown away. -so... so... you snuck into the bakery and made it as you'd like, right? i'm sorry. you fool. -jin gu. yes, chief. preheat the oven. yes, chief. mi sun. -yes, chief. take those and put them in the fermentation room. yes. chief. just because you make dough, it doesn't become bread. -of course! bread needs to be finished by baking and then you can call it bread! anyway, jae bok, what are you doing? hurry up and clean! yes. -and what are you doing standing there with your heavy bag? put it down. hurry up and clean. this is the first bread that our newcomer has made by himself. as we always have, make severe and cold evaluations. -aigoo, what the... is this porridge or gruel? why is it so sticky? it's stuck all over the roof of my mouth. i think there was overmixing during the dough phase. -overmixing... the taste isn't right, it's bland. the taste, too? the color of the bread is too light, and space inside is rough and thick. the space... -but if you add jam or cream... so... these breads, they're atrocious. i agree with that. if you're going to participate in the competition in two years, with your terrible skills... even if you open both eyes wide, and practice until you sweat from your hands, you may or may not make it, got it? -yes. yes? in mok. what are you saying now? competition? -are you... are you saying that you'll allow tak gu to compete? is that what you mean, chief? let's go to the big hospital in seoul now, and get your eyes treated. you have to see in order to practice or compete. -as you said, if they say you'll never be able to see, we can think about that then. first let's get your eyes checked, and get the treatment. i'm telling you not to be scared... before you've tried it, and not to give up on yourself. what do you think? will you do as i say? -tak gu. i'm sorry. i don't really know what to do at times like this. just say, "please take care of me, chief." that's enough. -tak gu. then... please take care of me, chief! tak gu. remember today. -yu kyung! it's you, right? mi sun. you came all the way here, why are you just leaving? you should see tak gu. -should i bring tak gu so no one else knows? no, it's okay. don't do that. but tak gu would be really happy to see you. to be honest, tak gu hurt his eyes a bit. -he'll be okay. if he takes away tak gu's eyes, god would be too unfair. i still want to believe in god, so... tak gu will be okay. yu kyung. -instead, can you give this to tak gu? after his eyes are better, please give it to him then. you really don't need to see tak gu? i'll contact you again around the time tak gu should be back from the hospital. please. -then... just watching him makes my eyes grow wet, it feels like my heart will be worn down by tears now what do i do? what should i do? -i can't throw myself away... oh no, yu kyung will get all wet... will she be okay? even if it's hard, even if it hurts, you're always in that same place... even if i hold you in my heart... -even if i ignore you and throw you away... i can't help but gather you in my crying heart... that's love... ahjumma. what's all this? -what are you doing? i'm sorry. but i have no choice. the new person who's moving in said they'd double the rent... and pay a year's amount in advance! this is my income and i need the money. -what can i do? still... you said you'd give me a week! student yu kyung, please understand my situation. ahjumma! -and this. the person renting the room said to give this to you. they said then you'd know. what does that mean? i don't know either. -money's a bitch, it really is. i'm sorry, okay? until my tears dry up, and i'm buried by the wind, even if i brush by you, don't love me... it's my love that's left... they're my painful memories... -even if it's hard, even if it hurts, you're always there in that place... with that much, she should understand. with the same thoughts as you, with the same feelings as you, i'll live while forgetting the lasting longing and love... forever like this... -since ma jun is in korea, how about taking us all to hawaii for summer vacation, honey? mom, you knew ma jun was in korea? i heard he's with teacher pal bong. i heard you knew, too. did department head han tell you that? -ma jun told me. i heard at mother's memorial service. isn't he so admirable? he said he didn't want to get respect by his father's name, so he even changed his name. he even changed his name? -so how long will he be there? i'm not sure. i don't want him to stay too long, but i decided to let ma jun take care of it. he'll take care of it. speaking of, about bringing ma jun into the company, honey... -let's eat. it's dinner time. i think we should slowly add him to the board of directors and prepare him. ma jun is working so hard to receive your recognition. i think you should prepare a road for him in advance as well. -don't you think so? i'm sorry, but i don't want to speak with you about business matters. and the time is not ripe to bring ma jun into the company. i'll excuse myself. i would like for you to remember that i hold stocks too. -i'm formally asking you as his mother and as a stockholder. got it? then i would like to formally decline. if you'd like to use your rights as a stockholder, why don't you participate in the company's work? do as you'd like. -there's been an accident. i've looked for her all night, but i think she must have been swept away by the rapids. what on earth is going on? was it really you? can you see the light? -no. it's blurry. what if i can never see her again? please look forward. what if i can never search for my mom again? -it seems there is damage to the sclera due to the burn. i decided not to worry about those things. because i know now that i'm not alone anymore. i still have my work, and in my work, i will be able to find my mom. please wait for a moment. -let's go in. yes. i still don't want to lose hope. he said we could remove these after a day. here. -now open your eyes. how is it? can you see a little bit? can you see? can you see, tak gu? -what's wrong? you can't see well? your cheeks... have gotten chubbier since i haven't seen you. you can see? you can really see? -yep, i see everything. i can even see the pepper stuck in your teeth. you jerk! ah, fallen soybeans! thanks. -thank you so much. thanks to you all, i can live again. thank you truly. that's great. that's great! -yu kyung left it here. she said to give it to you when your eyes are healed. this hat will bring you luck. baker king kim tak gu ma jun! -i heard you're dating yu kyung. i told you, as soon as mom knows something about you, it's no longer a secret. what did mom say? she asked where yu kyung lived. what? -you didn't tell her, right? don't you know mom? if she makes it a mission to find out something, she never gives up. are you crazy? still, how can you tell mom that? -ma jun. what's up with that kid? is he serious? who are you to do this? where is the student who used to live here? -she couldn't pay the rent so she moved elsewhere. where did she go? well, i don't know that. yu kyung? i just heard earlier, she submitted her leave of absence this morning. -leave of absence? yes, her situation is a mess, and she had to deal with that incident. do you know who i can contact to meet her? i don't really know. did you have to do that, mom? -i had to do that so she wouldn't covet you again. shin yu kyung is just a normal female student. she's not someone for you to confront in that manner! yes, she's just a normal female student. but look how she's affected you. -have you ever challenged me before, because of a girl? have you ever raised your voice at me before, because of a girl? mom! come to your senses, gu ma jun! if you went to teacher pal bong... in order to gain your father's recognition, it's unworthy. -don't be indecisive about that one girl! yu kyung's not the one making me indecisive, it's you! don't you know? what? i have a plan and i have thoughts. -don't try to make everything your way and act as you wish! i'll take care of my business, so stay out of it. that's why you still have a long way to go. you need to know how many people, including me, are conscientious and devoted to making your position. it means that while you're the successor who will lead this family, your life is no longer just yours. -got it? i won't let just anyone step in your shadow. remember that. baker king kim tak gu brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad -main translator: serendipity spot translators: meju, fore timer: avi14 editor/qc: langdon813 -coordinators: mily2, ay_link he has a serious problem. if he finds out about the letter, it's the end for both you and me. it's the end for both of us. your younger sister needs treatment twice a week? -it must not be easy. i want to receive your bong bread recipe. are you okay? brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad if you ask me to take the blame, i will. -if you ask me to accept his anger, i will. i'll accept all that... but i must see that child. where is tak gu right now? my son... where is he? the 25th at 6 pm, in front of the clock tower. -the 25th at 6 o'clock... 6 o'clock. let me go. let go of me! what's wrong with you? you want to go back in and stand there like a wall hanging? -whether i stand there like a wall hanging or an idiot who waits, it has nothing to do with you. you came to work here to do things like this? you came to work for my father's company to be treated like that by my mother? i thought you were smart. why are you asking for this kind of trouble? -aren't there lots of other places where you could work? quit your job immediately. if you can't find another job, i'll find one for you. quit this instant. life is really easy for you, isn't it? -isn't it? what? when the slightest thing bothers you, you can give it up. when your pride is the least bit hurt, you can throw a tantrum and it's over. no matter what you do, you have a family that makes it all okay for you. -most of all, no matter what kind of chaos your tantrum creates, you have a father who can take care of it for you. there's nothing for you to be afraid of in life, is there? right? shin yu kyung. but it's different with me. -no matter what company i work for, to have my pride trampled on is a given. and whatever work i do, i have to start from the ground. however humiliating and nauseating it is, i have no choice but to put up with it. so i don't want a person like you giving me lectures on pride and so on. you have no idea how ridiculous it sounds, coming from you. -so, you're saying you'll continue to go up against my mother? i got to where i am on my own. i can't let all my effort and abilities come to nothing because of your or your mother. quitting my job over something like this is an extravagance i can't afford. i think we should leave, madame seo. -madame lee, i'm embarrassed for you to have witnessed this. ma jun seems to be under a lot of stress where he is studying. he's normally not like that. i'm sorry na jin. that's okay. -i can meet ma jun oppa later on my own. let's go. yes. i apologize for the ruckus, madame. i'll wait until you're finished. -tak gu, i'm sorry. i don't think i can come to meet you tonight. kim tak gu. why are you so late? i think you are. -are you waiting for tak gu to get home? jin gu hyungnim. no. why would i wait for him? never. -i just couldn't sleep, that's all. i was just thinking about the 2nd round of the competition... and about the aroma of the bread. then... i'm sorry, chairman. look here. -i can't tell you when i don't know how he feels. what do you mean by that? there could be a chance that he doesn't want to see you. haven't you ever thought of that possibility? come back when the competition is over. -i don't want to shake him up until then. did you say the competition? are you saying my son is here? i asked you if my son was here. please leave. -he came to me 2 years ago. i don't know what's gotten into him but he's allowing kids who have only been here for 2 years to take part in the competition. what is your name? just call me by my surname, kim. that'll be good enough. -i'll never forget this. thank you! you will be blessed, chairman! how did he know me to call me chairman? that can't be. -could that kid...? you think you can beat me? do you dare to declare a war with me? i don't understand what you're saying. i knew you weren't to be taken lightly, but i seemed to have underestimated you. -i don't know what i did wrong. you asked for me so i came. you told me to wait so i just waited, madame. what? if you don't need me for anything, i'll get going then. -mom! mom, stop it. what are you doing? you heinous girl! you're going to use my own son to fight me? -is that it? i don't think this will do. miss shin, please leave for now. i have more to say. you won't go anywhere. -don't you hear me, miss shin? i told you to leave. you don't even know your place. you dare to think you can covet my son? you don't actually think i'll let that go, do you? -! i'm sorry, madame. but the one coveting is not me but your son. so if you don't want to see us end up together, straighten up your own son. what? -miss shin! yu kyung. good evening. yu kyung. you got here just now? -you've been waiting for me all this time? what an idiot. you told me to come. you said let's meet here in front of the clock tower. even so, do you know what time it is now, and you're still waiting for me? -what would you have done if i hadn't come? were you planning to spend the night here? what a dummy. yeah. i waited and you came. -i missed you, yu kyung. i thought i'd die from missing you so much. i feel relieved now. father. why are you sitting here like this? -you should go inside if you're here to see the teacher. why didn't you tell me? what are you talking about, father? he was here with you for 2 years... yet you didn't tell me about him. tell me the reason. -why didn't you tell me? what was your motive for hiding it from me? father... i don't know what you're saying. what are you saying i hid from you? -your brother! i'm talking about tak gu. why did you hide it? how could you have kept that from me all this time? f... father. -he was right here, so close... yet i just passed him by. father. that "father" that you said a millions of times with your mouth, that kid never once got to say it. he called me "chairman". father. -i don't know how to forgive you. father, one moment! please wait just a moment, father. i wasn't going to keep it from you forever. it was only until this competition was over. -only until then. after i beat that punk in the competition, i was going to tell you about it. that's the truth, father. please believe me. he's not "that punk". -address him as your "older brother". father. father! there could be a chance that he doesn't want to see you. haven't you ever thought of that possibility? -i'm sorry, chairman. but no matter how much i think about it, i think i need to live as kim tak gu. so please don't look for me. please be healthy and goodbye... chairman. -this is it? yeah. so this is where you live. it's so late, what are you going to do? you have to get up early to go to work. -it's okay. if i go straight to the bakery, i'll be on time. how can you work without a wink of sleep? what do you take me for? you think i'm a young man for nothing? -tak gu. hmm? tak gu. what? thank you for waiting for me. -you waited 2 years for me. when this competition is over, let's be like other couples and go on a trip. let's take the train and go see the ocean. okay? okay. -let's. let's be sure to go. you must be tired. why don't you go in and get some rest? okay. -you get yourself home, too. you go in first. i'll leave after i see you go in. okay. goodnight. -goodnight, yu kyung. next time. next time, i'll make better bread and bring it for you. i'll make a lot of delicious bread for you for the rest of my life, yu kyung. line up! -line up! seo tae jo, why isn't kim tak gu here? he never came home last night. what? he didn't come home? -are you saying he was gone all night? where did the kid go, without a word to anyone? he left yesterday after receiving a letter. a letter? what letter? -i don't really know but mi sun... mi sun, do you know anything about the letter tak gu received? uh... um, that is... i don't know who sent that letter to him. huh? -you're all here already? it's that time already? what's up with you? i heard you never came home last night so why are you coming out from there? out all night? -no, never. not all night... just a little bit late. as soon as i got back, i came here and checked the temperatures of the oven and refrigerators, and made the dough for the day and even cleaned up... boss. -what? even the dough and clean up? hey tak gu, did something fabulous happen to you? you're full of energy. who says i should only have tough days? -now that i passed the first round of the competition, sunny days are just around the corner for kim tak gu. that's enough! this is a list of what we need to make today. this afternoon, the second round of the competition will begin. those of you, who passed the 1st round, be here by 5 this afternoon. -do you understand? yes, we understand! once again today, we make bread with grateful hearts. hip, hip! hip, hip, hip! -what's with him? good morning. you have been temporarily transferred to the maintenance department. what are you talking about? what do you mean i've been transferred, all of a sudden? -why? what is the reason? those were the manager's orders. i don't know the details. did something happen with madame last night? -please explain it to me. why am i being transferred out? do you really not know or are you asking to pick a fight with me? i am asking you to explain to me what i did wrong to be transferred out of here. there are lines you must never cross no matter the situation. -i think you crossed that line last night. manager. if you don't know what to say or not say and don't know when to bend, you'll be the one to break in the end. you may go. yes. -i just got it. this is the information of that dr. yoon? right. good work. name: -yoon seung hyun. birthdate: 8/27/1939. occupation: doctor history of employment: -choong nam cheon an, cheon an medical center. jik san healthcare jik san healthcare if jik san healthcare... what is the reason for your visit? -we're here to see a nurse by the name of kim mi sun. see here! have we met somewhere before? no. i don't think i've seen you before. -yes. that's what's going on. i'm now starting to get the picture. yes, come in. it's you, manager han. -i came thinking you didn't have any appointments this afternoon. you must have a patient in there. i have a patient under a special care and she's feeling under the weather. why don't you have a seat? what is the reason for this visit? -i've had a tightness in my chest and been feeling uncomfortable. let's check your blood pressure first. please give me your arm. how is kim mi sun? i don't know if it's because i'm getting old but my memory isn't so clear sometimes. -i thought you looked familiar. i have seen you before, at that place. at jik san healthcare center. that was 26 years ago. where is kim mi sun right now? -i asked you where kim mi sun was. i don't know what you're talking about. for a doctor, you're acting quite bold. did you really think those threatening letters would make me feel threatened? did you really believe i'd be scared by that prank of the falling picture? -was all that your doing, or was kim mi sun behind them? if you're not here to be treated, would you please leave? first, tell me where kim mi sun is. please leave. tell me where mi sun is! -please leave my office right now, manager han! what are you doing? this is not good for the patient! i think it's better not to meet for the next little while. and it may be best to only contact president na by phone. -please don't put yourself in a dangerous situation. from now on, i'll take care of it. don't worry. please. as you can see, the four items in front of you are the four essential ingredients in bread-making. -flour, salt, water, and yeast. out of these four ingredients, the one that you think is the most essential ingredient in making bread, choose that ingredient and move it toward me. what? what? -what? what is everyone doing? i said to choose one! huh! jinx on you. -what? there is such a thing. hmm. let's get started, in mok. then, i will now tell you the subject of the second competition. -the world's most amusing bread that's it. you can use any of the available ingredients we have in storage. but the one ingredient you have placed in front of me, remove it from the list of available ingredients. what? -what? what? but grandfather, by any change are you asking me to make bread without flour? teacher, how can one make bread without yeast? that's why it's the most amusing bread! -the duration of this competition is the same as the first, fifteen days. within the fifteen days, each one of you make the bread you find most amusing. that's it. well, father, today is the start of the 2nd competition, are you already preparing for the 3rd? there is nothing wrong with preparing early. -then out of those three kids, you feel there is one who will make it to the third phase? maybe. we will know when we get there. hmm. what should be the subject of the third phase? -darn, how can i make bread without flour? just use something else that's been ground. ground rice or starch. if you use ground rice, then it becomes rice cake. if you use starch, then it becomes potato cake. -is that so? what are you two going to do? can you make bread without yeast? how about baking powder? baking powder? -doesn't that also make things rise? as soon as you use that, you will be expelled from the competition. why? grandfather, will not use chemicals to make bread. he won't use them himself, so of course he'd deduct huge points from anyone who does. -wow, is that so? oh, wait. what's going to make the bread rise? that's why the situation is dire. i can't use flour and you can't use yeast. -oh. wow... what a stupid jerk. he's not "that punk". address him as your "older brother". -shhh... why that... why is seo tae jo in a such bad mood? i don't know either. all morning long, his bad mood was written on his face. -was it? i wonder why? by the way, did you have fun with shin yu kyung last night? oh yeah. has she been doing well all this time? -yeah. hey, she got even prettier during the time i didn't see her. is that so? i guess someone should be happy. since the girlfriend that he did not see for two years has gotten prettier. -hey, hey, hey. after the competition is over, we're going to go on a vacation. take the train to see the ocean. just the two of you? yeah. -just the two of us. after the competition, the two of us are going to go. shoot. how can grandfather expect me to make bread without flour? ! -hey! why are you getting so upset? damn. i want to take the train too. shoot. -why did you hide it? how did you keep that fact hidden? i don't know how... to forgive you for this. oh my, isn't this ma jun? is father inside? -yes, he is. come on in. what brings you here at this time of the day? i came because i have something to tell you. you should just go back. -father. there is nothing i want to discuss with you at this time. you should just go back. please, listen to what i have to say. why, always, do you turn your back when i want to talk to you? -i too have something to tell you, father. it doesn't matter what you say now, since i will hear it only as an excuse. and at this point i don't want to hear any excuse you might have. why? how come? -for that guy who lived with you only a few months? for the last twenty-six years i was at your side, and followed the path that you wanted me to follow. why can i not even give a justification for my actions? why? for the last twenty-six years, you have enjoyed all that i provided for you. -but your hyung... did not enjoy anything. all the things i could have done for him, and he received nothing. that's why... you hate me so much? all that tak gu did not receive, i alone lived and benefitted? -every time i think about what he has been through, i can hardly breathe. the things that he had to go through at a young age, when i think about the hardship he went through... my heart bleeds for him. if you can sympathize a little with these feelings, please just go back. i was wrong, father. -i did not have any other reason. i just wanted... to beat him. the one who always came first with you father, i just wanted to beat him, and come to you first and tell you about it. can you understand that? -just get out of the way. it's... time for you to get up. ma jun. don't touch me. don't touch me. -don't put your hands... on any part of my body. letter of resignation you, came all the way down here. don't forgive them. let's not ever... forgive them. -all those who have brought you down here, let's not ever forgive them. don't forgive them. let's not ever... forgive them. stock coupon: 150,000,000 won. coupon: 5,000,000 won. -deed of trust. deed registration are you better now? it's late. you should go. -we should... stay together. stay with me, tonight. let's stay together. what do you have in mind? can't you see what has happened to me because of you? -how much lower do you wish me to go? how much more do i need to get stepped on for you to feel fully satisfied? you, can you get any lower? do you still have pride left that can get stepped on? it's not true. -you don't have anything. you don't have any strength left to fight on. you don't have any pride left to stand on. that's why... you need to hold on to me at least. you have gone crazy. -don't you want revenge? on my mother, to take sweet revenge... you don't want to? just do it. i will let you use me. for you to like me or for you to just think of me, i will not expect that. -i won't interfere with whoever's in your heart or for whom your heart longs. if i start adding this or that condition, i will just get exhausted. why are you like this? what's the reason you're like this with me? i want to get revenge too. -on those people. damn, i should have found out which one is her place. is she back or not? hey yu kyung. shin yu kyung. -shin yu kyung. shin yu kyung. shin yu kyung. who is that, really? who is that crazy jerk? -who is that? she's not home yet? shoot. this is the perfect time to eat this. damn. -aigoo. it's yu kyung. i am fine. you should get going. the proposal that i made, think it over carefully. -if you put your heart into it, through me, you will be able to get everything that i have. one possibility is... you can become the wife of the owner of geosung foods. you can have it all. do you understand what i am saying? i am thinking to that level. -time for you to go. you can't do it, yu kyung. that's absurd. how did you know about this place? you, were seeing yu kyung before? -yesterday was the two year anniversary. why? oh. that's why you were late last night. and how about you? -why are you here? you did not know. i've been meeting yu kyung the whole time. the two years that you stayed away from yu kyung, yu kyung and i, met quite often. -not as seo tae ju, but as gu ma jun. what did you say? in fact, shin yu kyung, before she came to pal bong bakery two years ago, already knew me. we had met previously, at the founding party. you... expect me to believe that now? -if not, how could shin yu kyung be working at geosung foods? right? geosung foods. yu kyung is... working there? oh my, yu kyung has more secrets from you than i thought. -don't lie to me. you're lying to me right now, aren't you? whether it's a lie or not, why don't you go directly and confirm it with her. that's why i told you before. in reality, shin yu kyung, it wasn't certain she would wait for someone like you. -she is much smarter and has bigger ambitions, than you think. she's not a person that would be satisfied with a guy like you. there is no one in this world who wants a guy like you. including shin yu kyung and father. there is no one who truly wants you to come back. -that's why you need to get a hold of yourself and know your place, kim tak gu. if you keep coming here, that will just make it more difficult for shin yu kyung, eh? well. even if you learn to bake and try so hard to claw your way up, you are still just trash. you're just a bum, regardless. -you should know that. well? well, chairman, it's almost midnight. well, chairman. yeah, ok. -it's time to go. let's go. yes. there is no one in this world who wants a guy like you. including shin yu kyung and father. -there is no one who truly wants you to come back. that's why you need to get a hold of yourself and know your place, kim tak gu. even if you learn to bake and try so hard to claw your way up, you are still just trash. you're just a bum, regardless. you should know that. -well? chairman. how have you been? i am fine. first, you should wipe yourself off. -yes. it's bread. yes. it's the bread i made to pass the first stage of the competition. you, passed the first stage of the competition? -yes. i just made it with that bread. that's nice. i am curious... how it would taste. by any chance, do you have some time? -chairman. it's barley rice bread. please try it once. chairman? oh shoot. -are you ok, chairman? i am really sorry. does it taste funny? did i do something wrong? it's not that. -it's really good. truly, it's really good. tak gu. tak gu. tak gu. -i am sorry, tak gu. all those years, i am sorry i wasn't able to find you. with you so close by, i'm sorry i wasn't able to recognize you. -my son. my son. my son, tak gu. tak gu. tak gu. -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad main translators: songbird, fore timer: dizzybugs editor/qc: reluctantbutaddicted coordinators: mily2, ay_link -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad mother. tak gu! mother! what are you doing?

-stop, tak gu! don't come. you punk! how much? how much more do i need to be beaten before you move aside? -before i see my mother, there's no way i'm going back. so you decide. just move aside, or beat me like this until i'm dead. huh? ! -tak gu. for me, it's been fourteen years! we were separated when i was twelve, and it's been fourteen years! i've wandered, searching and searching. and the mother i've been looking for is right over there! -if it were you, could you turn back? ! you must have a mother too! what i've gone through, not knowing whether my mother was dead or alive, you must have some idea how a son might feel! you must if you're a son! -tak gu. please, move aside. please let me see my mother's face. please, move aside, please. mother. -tak gu. is it you, tak gu? it's me. is it really my son? yes. -it's your son, tak gu. it really is my son. it is my tak gu. all those years, have you been living well? and you've been eating? -and not letting your spirit die? i'm proud of you. my baby. my son. i'm proud of you. -mother. tak gu. tak gu. my baby. mother. -what? let's go home now, huh? all right, let's go home now. we're back. we're back. -you've just come? we saw the wedding and then took them to dinner. mom, why are you still sitting there at this hour? were you waiting for us? who's waiting? -it was a pretty wedding, mom. it was quiet, composed, and modest. there weren't any guests present, but ma jun and yu kyung were both solemn and sincere. now, they've become truly husband and wife, mom. did i ask to hear about it? -i've heard enough, so go on up and go to sleep! but i think she really was waiting for us. don't you think, unni? rotten boy. after how i raised you. -after i lived all this time with my hopes just on you. you betray me like this? rotten boy. how do you feel? how do you feel at becoming a daughter-in-law in the geosung family? -i'm tired. i'll wash first. but tell me... and i'm asking because i'm truly curious, what do you like so much about the guy? is it simply because of your memories of him as your childhood friend? -or do you really love him as a man? today is our wedding day. do we really need to talk about this? you hesitated. at the moment you were pledging your vows, you definitely hesitated. -didn't you? there's no need to look so apologetic. because i'm not going to get angry or pick a fight. anyway, you and i reached this point because we each had our objectives. now that i've married you as you wanted, -i guess it's my turn now. right? what do you mean? listen carefully to what i'm going to say. because... this is a very interesting secret... -i've carried alone since i was twelve. and the story begins with this bracelet. the truth is, you see, i... you may not believe it, but it's all true. what do you think? -interesting, right? you... why would you... we're husband and wife now. husbands and wives shouldn't have secrets, should they? get some rest. -you said you were tired. my friends have come downstairs. sleep well. woo! congratulations, ma jun! -oppa, i thought you got married today. where's your wife? she was tired, so i told her to sleep. then are you going to party with us tonight? yeah. -what meaning does it hold? it means that i'm going to marry you. perhaps it means that it may be the beginning of misery, because of it. and, if knowing that, you will continue on this path with me, i'll take it to the very end. -it means something like that. hello. tak gu. tak gu. tak gu. -wake up now. i've come! this is my mother. aigoo. hello. -hello. i'm yang in mok. he's the boss at our pal bong bakery. hello. my tak gu has really inconvenienced you. -what do you mean, inconvenienced? and this is our boss's wife. aigoo, hello. i'm so glad to meet you. i'm very glad as well. -and this is... aigoo, how do you do? i'm heo gap soo. wow, tak gu, why didn't you tell us your mother was such a beauty? aigoo, i'm so glad to meet you. -ah, am i overdoing it? i don't see jae bok sunbae. mmm. early the other morning, we got a sudden call from the country. his mother is quite old and she's been ill, so he suddenly had to go down. -aigoo. i hope she gets better soon. yes, really, she must. anyhow, i'm so thankful to your family. you took in and embraced my tak gu who had nowhere to go. -as a mother, i can't say anything but thank you. ay, no, rather we've been getting a lot of help from tak gu. he's just like family now. thank you. this is your room? -yes. lie down for a bit, mom. come on. from now on, don't worry about a thing and stay here. i'm only going to be at the geosung family home until the president wakes. -after he's conscious again, i'll come right back. and i'll keep coming down to see you until then. okay? still, is it right to do this? we should have some consideration. -if i trouble them like this... they're family, after all. if you're really uncomfortable, just stay here until i leave the family home. when i come back, we can get our own place. when did my son grow so big? -you've really become a full adult now. all that precious time, how can i get it back? it seems that time has only touched me. you look the same as you did back then. you know how to joke like that? -i'm not joking. you really haven't changed at all. thank you. thank you for growing up so well, and for living as such a good person, thank you so much. -mother. my baby. tak gu. tak gu, come and have breakfast. hey in mok, the pot's really hot. -danger, danger... aigoo, aigoo. aigoo, it's hot. aigoo! why are you coming down alone? -what about tak gu and his mother? i think we're going to have to delay breakfast. what for? and so? are you saying you ultimately lost her? -i didn't lose her. your men let her go. i'm sorry, manager. i couldn't block him. i wasn't able to block him. -what? he didn't want anything else but to meet his mother. i couldn't block him or beat him any longer. look here. who are you betraying after i took you on and let you come this far? -huh? ! we may just be lowly thugs who only know how to throw fists, and we may carry out dirty deeds as easily as we eat our meals, but we're human enough to feel the bond between parent and child. what? ! -so, are you saying you don't want to work for me anymore? i'm sorry. we've been much obliged to you. that... from now on, if you have a task for me, let me do it on my own. -rather than work with a group, i prefer to work alone. then... are you positive the guy who attacked you was jo jin gu? yes. without a doubt. -i see. so that's what happened. for now, until you find the document i told you about, be particularly careful. manager han is naturally very suspicious. remember, this is all for tak gu. -for that boy to be able to clearly lead geosung, there's no choice but for me to set everything straight. do you understand what i'm saying? yes. i understand, president. mom, is that you? -father! father! be quiet. go shut the door. now. -what's happened? when did you wake up? don't tell your mother. excuse me? not just your mother. -promise me you won't tell anyone. father. promise me. do as i say. before that, please explain this to me. -if you will explain why it is that you're doing this, then i'll keep that promise. what's the reason you're doing this? to find out the truth. hello. sit. -is ma jun still sleeping? yes. i heard ma jun was looking into an apartment, so i canceled it. our family will absolutely not set up separate households. ma jun is an only son, and living together is a matter of course. -i've ordered ma jun's room to be redone. so move into the house by tonight. furthermore, his father is still unconscious. the two of you gleefully living it up in a hotel is grating to see. got it? -i asked you if you got it? yes, i understand, mother. i don't accept you as my daughter-in-law yet. if you really want to be recognized as a geosung family daughter-in-law, start by bearing a son. then i'll think about changing my mind. -then i'll see you later this evening. ma jun, you... i'll be going, oppa. what brings you here this morning, mom? no, i guess now that i'm married, should i be calling you mother? -okay, mother, what brings you here this morning? what about you, what have you been up to? and who the hell was that girl? no one that means anything. just a girl i partied with last night. -what? looks like i'll be late for work again. i'm going to have to get to the office. i didn't take any days off for the wedding. then, -i'll see you later, mother. i'll be back. mom, you're home? this is it. the room you and and ma jun will be living in. -so, you ultimately got here. shin yu kyung, you're really something else. did you want so much to be a daughter-in-law of geosung? what did you want so badly as a daughter-in-law of geosung? what is it you think i want? -frankly, you didn't marry ma jun because you loved him. there's definitely another reason. isn't there? i really don't know what it is you want so badly from our family, but since you've come all the way to this point, i hope you find it. -though i don't know if that'll make you happy or not. are you feeling all right, president pro tem? yes! no problem! when it comes to strength, i'm as strong as steel. -good morning, manager han seung jae. thanks to you, i had a really good reunion with my mother, manager. what are you talking about? this is a request. let's drop the act that you have no idea what i'm talking about. -don't you have any shame? i really have no idea what you are talking about. you're an adult! i'm asking you, aren't you ashamed living like that as an adult? the thing to really be ashamed of, you see, is having no clue, no right, but relying solely on a father's backing, to sit in a position like that, and behave like the owner. -as a long-time friend of the president, i'm warning you, raise your arms and back off at this point, tak gu. that way, a lot of people won't get hurt. i'm sorry, but that kind of threat won't move my resolve even one centimeter. i've definitely warned you, tak gu. don't regret it later. -huh? president pro tem, are you all right? no, i'm not all right. i'm so angry i could die. but if i let my anger loose, -i'm afraid i may become just like that man. so i'm holding myself back. ah, president pro tem. you're here. the cheongsan factory just called. -they say the the goods failed to ship. president pro tem! are you the head of this factory? i'm kim tak gu, responsible for the cheongsan factory. i came after hearing a general account of the situation. -i'm truly sorry. we will do everything in our power not to let it hurt your business. so... everything in your power, my foot! let's go by the provision in the contract. -excuse me? contract? in the case of undelivered goods, the factory will shall compensate with damages three times the shipment value. that's the provision. ah, is there a provision like that? -what the hell are you? are you really the head here? ! i'm sorry. but still, this is the first time we've failed to ship. -how can your sense of humanity... we're reacting like this because this is not the first time. do you know how many times this has happened? ! we don't need to talk about it anymore. -just go by the contract and compensate us three times the value within a month! what in the world has been going on? i told you from the beginning! this factory has no hope! what is all this? -these are news stories the pr department has been trying like crazy all day to block. exactly how bad are the conditions at the factory that the situation has come to this? i'm sorry. it all stems from my negligence. somehow, i will take care of this situation. -what about a plan? do you have one? no. i don't have a plan. so what exactly are you going to do without a plan in this situation? -for now, i'm just going to try. what? i'm going to try to do what i can until i crash. if you're sitting in the president's seat, answer with the responsibility of a president. do you know how many employees rely on geosung for their livelihood? -if you include the family members they support, it's many more than two or three thousand. all of those people's source of food and shelter are dependent on your plan, and what do you say? you'll just try whatever you can do, with no plan whatsoever? what the hell are you thinking, making such an irresponsible and flippant remark? ! -is that something a leader should say? ! then you can teach me. what? you can give me a good scolding like you just did, and teach me how i'm going in the wrong direction. -wouldn't that work? why should i? excuse me? i worked from the ground up... for the last five years, to get father's recognition. but purely because the two of you are sons, -ma jun becomes the team leader of development overnight, and you are sitting in that seat, in place of father. with absolutely no effort, purely because you are sons. so why should i teach either of you anything? because you're worried about geosung. just like the president. -more than anyone, you're worried about geosung and its employees. and i'm your younger brother. it's natural for you to admonish me when i'm doing something wrong. please help me, elder noonim. won't you? -what is it? what brings you all the way out by the office? a martini for me. you asked me why i liked tak gu, didn't you? when i'm with tak gu, i feel like i'm a good person. -i don't feel awkward when i laugh, and i don't feel embarrassed for being as happy as i want to be. so then, why did you choose me and not kim tak gu? i didn't want tak gu to find out... that i wasn't really a good person. exactly how badly scarred and damaged i really was, i didn't want tak gu to see. -and, i couldn't shake you off. every time i saw you, i saw myself. how you don't ever forgive, even knowing you're bringing pain and misery upon yourself. it was so much like me, -i felt your pain, and felt sympathy for you. so are you saying you married me out of pity? i don't know what the end is that you're after, but let's go. as we go along, there must be some end. no one knows who'll get hurt, who'll be destroyed in that end, but before we see the end, -i really don't think we'll ever be finished. so, let's go. i suppose we'll find out as we go, why you and i, like broken bicycles, couldn't stop. shin yu kyung! it was one moment, but in that brief moment i decided to marry you, -i dreamt of happiness with you. because i had the delusion that perhaps you had true feelings for me. now i won't ever be deluded again about any such sincerity. because, gu ma jun, you... truly are a rotten jerk. you've come out, mother? -i see you've come out. i wasn't able to sleep. i guess you're waiting for tak gu. why aren't you sleeping? i wasn't able to sleep either. -were you waiting for tak gu, too? that flowering plant is called yulma* but i called it yulmo. * gold crest wilma in english next to it is a scindapsus. it lasts a long time when you cut it and put it in water. -really? mmm. oh, tak gu's here. you've only just arrived? ta da... -what is it? can't you tell by looking at it? it's a cheesecake. she created it especially just for you. after i saw you today, i knew this cake was just the thing. -it'll put you in a good mood. try it. what's this? it's the typical cheese, and i smell camembert. yeah, and on the outside, i made icing using real cream. -here, try it. it's good. ay, is that all? it's really good. i just don't have much of an apetite today. -why don't you? is work that hard? aigoo, what do you mean hard? it's not hard at all. not a bit! -but fallen soybeans, your skills have really improved. the cream is much smoother. oy, couldn't you quit the whole "fallen soybeans" thing now? ajumeoni, because you and i have the same name, he's constantly calling me fallen soybeans. i'm so dead tired of it. -how can you call such a pretty young lady fallen soybeans? that's wrong of you, tak gu. right? see, she's on my side. it's okay, mom. -i only call her that because she is pretty. if she really looked like fallen soybeans, i couldn't call her that. isn't that so, fallen soybeans? tsk-tsk, you're still calling me fallen soybeans. oho, what is this tsk-tsk? -is that something to say to your orabeoni*? * respectful for oppa/older brother ay! ay! ugh. -should i? mmm. have some. you eat it. ah. -you eat some, too. i will. you eat, too. don't you wanna eat some? then give me just a little. -have more. here, try this. did ma jun spend last night out again? yes. he must be busy. -he acted like he would die if he couldn't get married, and just look at the two of you. from what i hear, mother... this bracelet was apparently yours? that's what he said about this bracelet. that it was yours. was it fourteen years ago, did he say? -anyway, he said he picked it up in the lower garden. he said it was a very rainy day. by chance, do you remember? yu kyung, i mean sister-in-law, what are you saying right now? if you're going to say something, say it so we can understand. -what i've said already, i believe that mother understands. aren't you eating? your soup is going to get cold, mother. i told you, mother, i didn't want to hurt you. ma jun. -grandmother's death. ma jun thinks it was because of you. this bracelet was apparently yours? to find out the truth. father. -what i can tell you... ends here. i can't tell you any more, and you can't know any more. don't look back at what your elders have done, and just worry about you need to do. more than anything, you must look after your younger brother tak gu well. this is gu ja kyung. -where is president pro tem kim tak gu? i'm sorry, president. please give us one more chance. we'll never fail to deliver on a shipment again. i'll stake my name on it and take responsibility. -ha, how frustrating. look here, young president. the real problem is not the missing shipments. excuse me? that's just the excuse. -the most important thing is the taste of the breads. the breads just don't taste like they used to. do you understand? it wasn't like that when president gu had a fondness for the cheongsan factory. president, -could i really make this factory... run like it used to? master, you told me to always believe in myself. but do you think it will really work this time? it's me. what did you want to see me about? -follow me to the study. what's the matter? what is it that's bothering you? that night, the night that mother passed away... didn't you say that only the two of us knew what happened that night? why are you asking? -i really think that ma jun saw something. the boy had my bracelet for the last fourteen years. what? how could that be? i really didn't think it could be true at first. -i thought he must have just happened to pick it up in the garden. i thought he was just trying to give me a hard time, but i really don't think that's the case. the night that mother died, i think our ma jun knows about it. that can't be. i searched the area completely. -and ma jun was a mere twelve years old at the time. there was no reason for him to come down there at that time. and even if he witnessed the situation, there's no way he could have kept it hidden and fooled us so completely. that's not something a twelve-year old child can do. then how can you explain how yu kyung knows about it? -yu kyung even knows that it was raining that night. ma jun told her everything. if there is any chance that our ma jun was there, then what? the night mother died, if he saw us there, then what do we do? -shin yu kyung, where is she now? upstairs in their room. i must hear it directly for myself. honey! when my mother passed away, where were the two of you? -h- honey. when my mother passed away, where were the two of you? ! i absolutely... absolutely... cannot forgive the two of you! absolutely not! -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad translator: meju timer: julier editor/qc: langdon813 -coordinators: mily2, ay_link brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad episode 17 who is he? seo tae jo, you.... -what happened? is he someone who works with you here? go back for today! i still have more to talk to you about. please just go back for today! -okay fine. many things must be sudden for you today. come home this weekend and let's finish our talk, ma jun. tak gu! why aren't you coming in? -seo tae jo! kim tak gu! why are you standing here? did something happen? miss. -what did you just say? yes? did you just say kim tak gu? because he's kim tak gu, why? you're tak gu? -you're really kim tak gu? long time no see, little madam. what? there's someone who's seen my tak gu? he said fourteen years ago he saw someone that looked like tak gu. -would you like to meet him? who is it? where can i meet him? welcome! look here, ahjussi. -are you the person who said you saw my son? who are you? do you remember meeting me yesterday? ah, it's the doctor. can you repeat what you told me yesterday? -about that boy? do you know my tak gu? it's a bit of hassle for me to keep talking about this. please tell me. i can give you more. -it was about 13-14 years ago, a wealthy man came to me with money...... and asked for me to sell a boy to a deep sea fishing vessel. sell him to a deep sea fishing vessel? but that spunky kid.... what about my mother? where is my mother? -your mom? why are you looking for your mom with us? he said i could meet her here. that's why you can't trust people that easily, kid. now, let's go. -no! why should i go with you? let go! i'm not going! what are you doing? -let go! so.... what happened to him? i don't know. he ran away and we couldn't catch him. it'll be a relief if he didn't starve to death on the streets. -what? what? what? mi sun! you bastards! -do you know how old he was? he was twelve years old. he was only twelve years old. but what? you were going to sell him to a deep sea fishing vessel? -don't you have any kids? i'm asking if you don't have any kids! calm down, mi sun. where's my son? find my son now! -my tak gu! find tak gu! mi sun! my goodness! calm down. -calm down. he was only twelve years old. he was only twelve years old. i can't ever forgive them. i will never forgive them. -that tough and persistent kid. he doesn't know his place, how dare he? yes, it's me. that place you went with me today. yes, pal bong or whatever. -find out about it. if you find even a speck of dirt, tell me immediately. okay. what's going on? i thought you reminded me of that kid. -the way you're so cranky and the way you twist your words. how long were you planning on not telling me? were you not going to until the end? did you not want to act like you knew me that badly? i just wanted to remain as seo tae jo at pal bong bakery. -it's two years. you didn't think about telling me once during those two years? what did you expect from me? was i supposed to hug you and be happy to see you? "how have you lived so far?" -"why did you suddenly leave our house? ' are you saying i was supposed to listen to you complain about the past couple years of your life? why should i? what are you? -then and now, you're still just a son of a beggar, why should i? is that why? is that why you asked to go against me in the competition? is that why you didn't let me and yu kyung meet? all that is because i'm kim tak gu? -and because you're gu ma jun? is that why? why? what did i do to you? how did i wrong you? -i just hated you. i hated you smiling and i hated you talking. every time i saw you mess around, i hated you so much that it felt like my insides were flipping. do you understand? i see. -i understand what you're saying. yu kyung! yu kyung! shin yu kyung! yu kyung! -who are you, where are you here at this late hour? i came to meet shin yu kyung. the female college student who rented a room here. shin yu kyung? student yu kyung? -she moved out a while ago. she moved out? yu kyung? where to? did she leave a contact number or anything? -i'm kim tak gu. she didn't leave anything for kim tak gu? i don't know. find out elsewhere. why didn't i think, yu kyung? -why did i continue to believe that you would wait for me here? how long with yu kyung wait for someone like you? you don't have an education, money, or skills. you're a kid with nothing to show for himself. yu kyung. -i organized and brought the files from the administration team, sir. you're very smart with your work. thank you sir. i found out about a couple positions for you. they're all decent companies with good benefits. -i'm sorry. i won't accept. i don't plan on submitting my own resignation. if you still must kick me out from this company, you must give me a definite reason for termination. look here, miss shin. -this is a tug of war that you can't win anyways. even if you try to last, you have no choice but to leave this company. take it when i ask nicely. is it an important day? perhaps it's your birthday? -no. it's the day i planned to meet my friend again. what kind of friend is he for you to circle the date? it's a friend i'm meeting for the first time in two years. thank you. -take care! excuse me! oh, oh, yes! his ingredients are limited and he doesn't have enough time to practice. there are only five days left. -it's at a situation where we don't know if he can make decent bread in that time. are you worried? huh? it seems like you're worried about tak gu. father.... -why would i be worried about that kid? i still think that three years of that lacking and thoughtless kid washing dishes is not enough. then doesn't it not matter? if he's eliminated from the competition, you can start him at washing dishes again. yes, i can do that. -but father. what are you thinking about doing about bong bread. you're not thinking about following tae jo's requests and revealing the recipe? i'm not sure. if you're thinking to do so, i'm completely against it. -father. it's possible that your reputation... a person's life is short. but hoping to achieve reputation in that short life is like a spider's web at noon. father. -do not worry too much. although each person has their own fate, all other things have their own fate as well. my fermentation recipes will find their owner too. owner? who are speaking of? -bong bread. someone who desperately wants this recipe more than anyone else. and someone who desperately dreams more than anyone else. that person will become the owner. why? -it's not going well? jin gu was worried about you. about if something had happened. saying you seem like someone who's got his mind somewhere else. yeah. -is it because of that woman who came to the store last time? ever since that woman came, you haven't been talking and acting strangely. who is she? no, it's nothing. madam's coming. -madam, you're here? come in. what is it that you suddenly need to discuss? the stocks that i bought two years ago from director choi. i can give that to you. -what's the catch? you already know. what's the catch? you already know. is it still that problem about the family register? -and call ma jun back. then i'll remove my hands from director choi's stocks. if you just do that for me, i can give you all the rights to the rest of the stocks and i won't ever involve myself in company business. i'll even give up my vote as a director. -i don't want to fight with you anymore because of a child you haven't seen in 14 years. anyways, you were going to call ma jun into the company. i'm just asking you to speed that up. this is my last request, honey. you can think of it as my ultimatum. -but where did tak gu go? it doesn't seem like he's going to practice at all today. shin yu kyung to: it's so tough. huh? -you're that kid! what are you doing here? you said to come and eat bread! ta da! how can you give so much? -he won't be able to eat all anyways. if there's leftovers, i'll bag it for you. my bakery's bread is really delicious. you made all of this? well, people who are much more skilled than me made it. -try it. you don't like this bread? should i give you another one? isn't there any bread that you made? what should i do, i didn't make any bread today. -what should we do? for days, he kept saying that he wanted to eat bread that you made so that's why i brought him. here's the bread that hyung made, kid! what are you doing? wow! -this is all your bread? yep, this is all bread that he made. try it. this is barley rice bread that he made. fallen soybeans, how can you give that to him? -it's delicious. really? this bread is really delicious? this young kid has a good heart. oh my. -the barley rice is too hard. huh? you have to add twice as much water for barley rice and boil it well. on the other hand, for corn you need to use very little water. and trying adding a little salt. -it'll taste much better. ah, yes. kid. is the bread a bit tough? here. -drink water while you eat. it's still delicious. it's pretty good for me too. look carefully. they're your first customers. -excuse me! then... what should i do about bread becoming dry and flaky? well you should add as much moisture as what's been heated off. humidity! -remember this temperature with your hands. it's a very good temperature at which to cook bread. you should add as much moisture as what's been heated off. please, i'm begging you. here it is. -thank you. do you happen to be jo jin gu? right? you went by windmill in cheongsan... who are you? -this person is looking for you. shin yu kyung to: what should i do? the competition is the day after tomorrow. is it better to give him the letter or not give him the letter? -tak gu, are you practicing? the smell seems good. want to try it? why? is it wrong this time too? -it's weird? it's soft. the grains of the bread and the way it melts is so soft and moist. it's delicious. really? -it's really delicious? really. it's really delicious. really? you're not kidding, right? -really. it's really delicious. she said it's delicious! what do i do? mi sun! -mi sun! i got it! i did it! i did it right! oh right. -let's go home. kid! kid! here. i made it. -it's not tough this time. you'll be able to eat it well without water now. here.... it's really delicious. right? -right? it's all thanks to you! thanks kid! thank you, my first customer! this is unexpected. -i didn't know at all that you were working as teacher's student. to be honest, i thought i had seen you at my company a few days ago. so i wanted to confirm it. if it was really you i saw and if it was you, i was curious as to why you were at my company. -was it you i saw? was it you? yes. it probably was. why? -why were you at my office? look here. first, i have something i'm curious about too. are you still looking for your lost son? what are you suddenly talking about? -if you happen to find that lost son, what are you going to do? your son's mind is only full of thoughts about finding his separated mother. what if he finds out that the person who caused him to separate with that mother was none other than his father? what do you think will happen to him then? what are you saying right now? -say it so i can understand. what do you want to say to me now? before you give me an answer, i cannot give you the answer you want. that kid is finally able to smile. i don't want to see pain on his smile face anymore. -that kid? who are you talking about? i said who are you talking about? tak gu. high tak and saving gu. -kim tak gu. what's wrong? why did you to tell me to come out, it's annoying. it's the first bread i've made. it's called barley rice bread. -try it. did you really want to brag about finally making something bread-like? yeah, i wanted to brag. what did you use? this is a secret.... but it's a cup of water. -cup of water? i baked it with a cup of water and it became it's moist. it's amazing, right? but why are you making me taste this? aren't we competitors? -before we're competitors, first you're a friend who helped me. are you kidding? you know who i am... you said you want to remain seo tae jo at pal bong bakery. let's do that. -instead of the gu ma jun from geosung who hates me, i'll treat you like the seo tae jo who slept with me, ate with me, fought with me, and learned with me at pal bong bakery. let's do that until the competition ends. got it? so you're saying you can be friends with seo tae jo but not gu ma jun? -is that it? i'll see you at the competition tomorrow, seo tae jo. are you saying you know tak gu. he came and found me two years ago. tak gu came and found you? -he wandered this dangerous world with only the intention of finding his mother and finally found me after 12 years. so where is he now? can i reach him if i contact him? give me an answer first. about what you ordered me to do in cheongsan back there, how president will explain that to him. -these are president na's situations, transactions, and people he met during the last week. president na met this person too? this was a person he happened to meet in the hotel parking lot after a business transaction. i wasn't sure so i recorded it. what are you going to do if you continue to not eat like these past few days? -mi sun! i can't ever forgive them. i will never forgive them. wait and see. no matter what i do, i'll protect it. -positions! as promised, today is the day of the first round of the competition. are you ready? yes, we're ready! now we shall begin. -hai! hai hai hai! i made cooking bread by mixing ham, corn, and vegetable in cheese. cooking bread? just as rice needs side dishes, i added extra ingredients on the bread that can be eaten like side dishes and tried to make the most filling bread in the world. -i went for what they call the flower of bread, a pastry. pastries are not filling bread, right? when i made the dough, i put milk wine and sweet potato cream between the layers and made sure it did not lack in calories or ability to satiate. lastly, i mixed glazed sweet potato and nuts and made a health food high in nutrition in order to make a filling bread of my own. i made cake and bread into one. -they said bread is a different word when shared. bread that can be shared among many people, that's the most filling bread in the world that i made. hey tak gu. what kind of bread is your bread? it's barley rice bread. -i made it with barley rice and corn. what? barley rice? are you saying you put barley rice in bread? how did you think to put barley rice in bread? -to be honest, i didn't think about and put it in. i just wanted to add everything. i wanted to add the rice ball that a young child gave me when i was hungry. and jae bok sunbae, mi sun, and tae jo. i wanted to add all the hearts of the people who helped me able to make bread. -it may be ugly and not look nice, but i think it will be the most filling bread to someone. i understand. now we will begin the judging. first, mi sun. yes. -the harmony between the cake and bread is great. the texture is soft and more than anything, the way you expressed that it was filling by sharing it was very good. you pass. thank you, grandpa. and jae bok. -yes, teacher. your words about eating it like rice and side dishes was very interesting. but... the harmony between the bread and the extra ingredient was not good. and there is too much cheese and butter so it was quite greasy. -unfortunately, you're eliminated. yes. but you must have learned a lesson about life while making this bread so that should be enough, right? yes, teacher. and tae jo. -yes, teacher. the skill you used in making this bread was one of the best i've ever seen. it was also very good how you filled a fancy pastry with simple sweet potato. it showed creativity and the taste was also very good. it is flawless skill. -thank you, teacher. however... the taste and appearance are impressive but something about it is a bit cold. huh? when you get a feeling of coldness, it's hard to give the person eating the feeling of fullness. -how should i do with you? i will give you more chance. but if you cannot remove this feeling of coldness from your bread next time, you will be eliminated. i understand. lastly, tak gu. -yes, teacher. out of the four breads in looks and skill, it seems to fall begin. ah yes. and it seems to lack your own thought in the ingredients. yes. -but out the four breads, it has the best smell. barley rice and corn was a staple food for our people, who were going through the difficult barley hump of farming. they are foods who calmed the hunger of the poor and needy. making bread out of ingredients that a hungry person could eat satisfyingly... that's deserving of a compliment. -also, you expressed the rough taste of barley and corn very well in a soft way. does that mean... you pass. huh? really? -yes. you pass. you all worked hard. with this, the first round is over. i will give you the topic of the second round tomorrow so go rest well today. -it's interesting. it's a very interesting taste. cheers! what do you think, fallen soybeans? do you now recognize my spirit? -way to show off about passing a round. tak gu can show off a bit. to be honest, i tried the bread he made and i was a bit surprised. i could understand what teacher said about it having the best smell. i can't really explain it but anyways, while i was eating it, i felt really good. -this is all thanks to you. what if you hadn't shared your flour? how could i have made my bread? don't be like that. you're making me feel sorry. -here, here. i feel great. one more time. cheers. here, cheers. -it's so smooth. it's a present. a present for being admirable and passing the first round. from: shin yu kyung. -this is yu kyung's letter. it's been a few days.... but i kept waiting because of the competition.... the nam san clock tower on the 25th at 6:00? the 25th is today, right? seriously... -hey! hey, kim tak gu! how can you just leave? what about our celebration party? i'm sorry, mi sun. -jae bok sunbae, take care of mi sun! what, what, what? hey. i'll take this. hey! -hey! i'll be back. hey, kim tak gu! mi sun! mi sun. -mi sun. yu kyung said to come. yu kyung said to come meet her. the nam san clock tower on the 25th at 6:00. yu kyung! -yu kyung! you said it's an emergency? what is it? yu kyung. it is.... -madam called. yes? i was going to go, but she said it had to be you. now? excuse me? -where is the clock tower? you will be blessed! na jin, you got a lot prettier! madam. miss shin is here. -ah, really? i'm talking to the guests so tell her to wait. yes, i understand. so na jin, you're majoring in cello? yes. -what are you doing here? i came because madam called me. mom? ma jun! ma jun's here. -ma jun, you're here? madam lee and na jin are here. they said they wanted to see you since it's been a while so they made time to come. why is an office person here? and on a sunday? -i called her because i needed her. first, go up and change and then let's eat, okay? ja kyung, ja rim. will you take madam lee and na jin to the kitchen? miss shin, wait a bit longer. -we have some guests who came earlier. yes, madam. what are you doing, not changing? ma jun! why is mom doing that? -a few days ago she came to the bakery and called me acting like it was important. why did she suddenly call na jin? and why is shin yu kyung here? why would she have deliberately called shin yu kyung during a sunday family meeting? do you still not know what she's thinking? -don't do it ma jun. act like you don't know. if you get more upset now, it will be more difficult for shin yu kyung. got it? excuse me? -yes. is there another clock tower besides this one? no, there isn't. thank you. you'll be blessed! -i want to leave now. ma jun! we have guests, what kind of behavior is this? sit! i came to talk to you today, -i didn't come to waste time for chitchat and kill time. i'm not that free. sit down now. i'm sorry madam lee. na jin, goodbye. -oppa! shin yu kyung. you leave too. don't you have any guts? don't you have any pride? -or are you a fool? don't you know why mom stood you here? ma jun! what are you doing right now? go! -i said go now! i'm sorry but i came because madam called me. it's fine madam, don't worry about it. i'll wait until you finish taking care of your business. come out. -let go! let go! i said shut up and come out! ma jun! gu ma jun! -mom. if you tell me to receive resentment, i'll receive it. if you tell me to receive hate, i'll receive it too. even if i live with all that, i must meet that child. -tak gu. where is he now? tak gu. where is he now? my son. -where is he now? brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad main translator: serendipity spot translator: fore timer: avi14 -editor/qc: koreanpears coordinators: mily2, ay_link this is all your work, doctor? or is it kim mi sun's idea? are you saying go up against me for my son? -i don't know how to forgive you. all those people who brought you down here... let's never forgive them. i'm sorry for not recognizing you even when you were so close by. my son. -my son, tak gu. brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad episode 16 what's your business here? i'm here to see manager han seung jae. -what did you say? kim tak gu is downstairs right now? he came to our company? take him to an empty room immediately. take him to the second floor meeting room for now. -no! better take him to the lounge. take him to the lounge right now, hurry. manager han... i am just going to a meeting with president chang. -i was going to call for you. were you? i have an important matter to take care of right now. i will catch up with you right after i take care of it. it's okay, if it's something important then you don't need to come. -call ja kyung, i'll take ja kyung with me then. that would be good. please go upstairs. hurry, let's go. president. -ah yes. president, are you all right? it's all right, i may have seen someone i know. president, you might be late. then, let's go. -are you crazy? where do you think this place is that you come here when you please? i have something to return to you, that's why i'm here. what should we do? should we report it to the police right away, or... should i go look for the president, and tell him "your son kim tak gu has returned"? -that's the thing manager han is most afraid of, what about you? that i will go to meet the president, and make him aware that i'm alive. and you? do you think by doing this the president will be happy to welcome you? what? -looks like you had wrong impression, that's what i meant. you, you have no value for the president or geosung foods. you are someone who no longer exists. is there any point to you saying these things? if i mean nothing any more, why are you still doing that then? -what do you mean? using money to pay someone to do things that shouldn't be done? i really don't understand what are you talking about. a gas leak, disqualifying me from the test that... isn't that all under your instruction, manager han? -excuse me, i don't know that person over there. you say you don't know? if you have any proof that i know him then bring it out. i say, manager han... whether you want to report to police or whatever, do as you wish then. -if you accuse me without any proof, then you better watch out; i will sue you for defamation of character. let's stop at this for today, tak gu. you shouldn't live like this. it doesn't matter how hard you try, i won't be defeated by you. -do you know why? because i know i will win. gap soo sunbae, please stand up. don't ever accept money from this kind of person. nothing is worth doing something against your conscience for him. -he is so rude. i heard you work as a secretary. yes. why does it have to be my father's office? it just happened that way. -why did you disappear all of a sudden two years ago? you moved out of your house and withdrew from school, too. i searched with everyone who knew you. where have you been hiding? you... have been looking all this time? -who said i was looking for you? tak gu, is he doing well? he said he was going to work hard to become a baker in two years. i wonder how he is doing with that? he has worked extremely hard for these two years, very hard. -but, it's not that easy. in the end, he had no talent and started using dirty tricks. he put baking soda into dough belonging to his colleagues who were taking a test. the dough was completely destroyed. what did you say? -although i'm really a little bit disappointed with him, inside, my heart did indeed feel good. everyone said he was special, but in reality he is nothing but trash. at least i can confirm this point. there must be some reason. if he doesn't want to make bread, he would just stop making it. -tak gu would never do that kind of thing. what makes you trust him so much? why do you trust him so much? just because. just... -yes, i just know it. the tak gu i knew would never do that kind of thing. and people do not change so easily. although the outside may have changed, but deep inside the heart is not that easy to change. is that so? -now, come to think about it, you are probably right. some people look like they're worth nothing yet have so much pride. seems like indeed, nothing has changed. i'm happy to see you, shin yu kyung. don't you ever leave again without a word. -and don't hide away without my permission. don't cut off our relationship either. why? why shouldn't i? just because. -just don't do that. if you are going to continue like this, i also have my own ideas... about the way you do business, the abnormal way. i'll expose that to the world. in that case, we have no choice then... so i should seek help from president gu il jung then. -what did you say? who are you going to ask? who else beside the president would be able to take care of a matter regarding madam? isn't that right? those guys! -who do they think i am? i'm really sorry, tak gu. i have been very uneasy for the past two years. not one night have i had a good night's sleep, that's the truth. i always felt the bread made by sunbae tasted good. -would you be able make tasty bread with that kind of mind? tak gu. that's enough. hurry up and go inside. and today whatever you heard and saw at geosung foods, erase that from your mind. -jin gu hyungnim. to gap soo hyungnim or to anyone else, the moment you mention this, you will have to explain everything that has happened so far. do you understand what i am saying? i will take this to my grave, jin gu hyungnim. ok. -you had planned it from the very beginning, right? you knew very well that i wouldn't do anything to jae bok sunbae that's why you brought him to me rather than to teacher pal bong. i knew you can't hate anyone. how painful it is to hate someone, you know better than anyone else. -that's why it's not easy for you to hate anyone. is it? don't be proud that you know everything. you really don't know anything. i'm still under suspicion and i'm forbidden to even enter the workshop. -it's so complicated that my head is about blow up. in that case, i'll pretend i knew something then. the game isn't over yet, tak gu. even when you're under suspicion, you still want to see the three who were rejected and continue the test? or, you want to return their money for the flour? -so you mean i should give up the test then? if you are not paying back their money for the flour, then the three might be rejected. there, it is all here now. 3 bags of 20kg each. tae jo's, mi sun's, and jae bok sunbae's. -i get one too? in that case, you only have 17,000 won left. what are you going to do about your own? it's not "only 17,000 won left", but "i still have 17,000 won". tak gu. -compared to holding 50 dollars under suspicion, i would rather have 17 dollars without any worries. even if i get rejected, you still need to go through the second and third round of tests, right? and, you'll need to continue to make tasty bread. so, should i take it that you're giving up the competition? -how could you say that? i haven't given up yet. but you are forbidden to enter the workshop for the next week! you haven't learned how to bake the bread, and you haven't made any plan for the bread yet. on top of that, now you don't have much money for materials either. -even so, you still want to be in the competition? wasn't i told i had talent? teacher said so. i want to try, and see how far i can reach. if i don't make it, i can regret it then. -right now my only thought is to make it through, boss. jae bok, what are you doing there? i'm dividing the flour into two lots, mi sun. what's wrong with the flour? why are you dividing it up? -kim tak gu, that guy, it's for him, when the punishment's over and he's allowed back into the workshop. kim tak gu's grandpa, tak gu changed another person's heart. daily fermentation journal what trick are you planning now? -what now? first you put baking soda into everyone's flour, now you gave the flour back. are you afraid you won't win the contest so you're trying to win some hearts now? you really are... do you really need to be so mean before you can feel good? -can't you accept kindness without conditions? it is all because of you, doing such foolish and ridiculous things. what thing makes you feel so foolish? 17,000 won, what could you do with so little money? doesn't that mean you're giving up on the competition? -you really... i already said that i'm not giving up on the test. do you still want to see shin yu kyung? no, i should say would shin yu kyung still want to meet you or not? with you like this, rejected from the competition, unable to get your certificate, how eager would shin yu kyung be to see your face? -without degree, money, or ability. what do you have? the competition isn't over yet, seo tae jo. i haven't given up yet. whether i'll be rejected, we won't know until the end. -get it? are you the man with windmill tattoo? what do you want from me? there is someone i want you to protect. if anything happens to her, please bring her... to this place. -the most important thing is she must not be in any danger. and she must not meet with her child. do you understand what i meant? although i don't know what might happen, i should just bring that woman to this place, right? -yes. i understand, i will do it. something went wrong, although i have searched for her the whole night long, she might have been washed away by the water. why does this past memory keep appearing in front of me? what's the reason? -don't be like that! no! mother! no! mother! -don't be like that! mother! mother, please wait! let go of me. wait, -mother... don't tell him. mother! mother! mother! -mother! dear! looks like you had a bad dream. calm down a little bit. if you worry about too many things, you'll get nightmares. -calm down. then go back to sleep. ahjussi, what do you want? i'm sorry, i mistook you for someone else. here it is. -you've worked hard. not at all, doctor. then... teacher. teacher. -come in. all right, then... ah. what is this? it's cold black plum tea, it's very good for the health. -you have something that you want to say? what? you're here because you want to tell me something, don't you? no well, not tell but, i have something to say... would it be possible to cancel the order forbidding me to enter the workshop? -in other words, the cold black plum tea is a bribe for cancelling the order? how would that kind of thing happen? how could i bribe teacher? would you forgive me this once? these two guys haven't made up yet. -i came down first. i was coming down first. what are you two doing over there? i'm coming down. geez, really! -hey, clean that up. what? you clean it up. i cleaned it before. i just cleaned it too. -ah, really, give it to me. what are you two doing? you pick it up. there wasn't anything big, but those two just fought constantly. why not carry this one? -i already carry one. i am carrying one too. those two can't get along with each other! you don't know about it, grandpa. miss, please divide this into two parts. -those two really aren't going to make up with each other, what should we do? so it's like this. call both of them to the living room. tak gu and tae jo. each of you tie that rope around a wrist. -aren't you tying it already? ! for the next three days, you are not allowed to untie that rope. what? teacher. -if you do not untie that rope for the next three days, then i'll cancel the order forbidding you entry to the workshop. teacher, why are you doing like this? like this, how can we take a shower? or go to the toilet? and how are we going to change clothes? -i don't care about all that. whatever happens, you must not untie that rope. but, teacher. if one of you unties that rope before the three days are up, that person will be forbidden entry to the workshop until the competition starts. -oh, right, yesterday that cold black plum tea tasted really good, tak gu. no, i didn't send it for this. teacher. teacher! teacher! -hurry up and come over here. what cold black plum tea? what did you tell teacher? i just wanted him to cancel the order. so now i have to wear this? -i didn't know he would do this. could you two be quiet? you're already like this and you still want to fight? don't you get it yet? why would teacher do this? -from now on, everyone here should monitor them every single minute. make sure they are still tied together. if you ever see the rope untied, come tell me right away, got it? yes, understood. what should i say? -our teacher should is stubborn. anyway this is how it is, you two should just get along well for the next three days. come again. what? hey, clean it up! -do it yourself. it feels good, your turn. this is walnuts. this one is barley and beans. this one is very heavy. -you gotta be quick. oh man, are you going to keep interfering while i am working? i didn't do anything wrong, you did. ohhh, you...! so childish, even kindergarten kids aren't this noisy. -you too take care of the spilled walnuts. really. go away, i don't need you. just stay still for a moment. you have to lean your head back like this when you have a bloody nose. -i told you to leave me alone. come on. when hyungnim asks you to do something just do it. got it? really. -ahjussi! i told you leave me alone. as a beggar what do you know? what make you think you know? who do you think you are? -who do you think you are? ! who do you think i am. i am your hyung. what is an elder brother (hyung) for? -as a hyung, it's my duty to take care and help a younger brother when he needs it. here. oh what are we going to do. ah, why is your nose bleeding? scared me to death. -ah, really.. it's okay if i'm lonely thank you. come again. thank you. -thank you. table. table. doesn't matter if things are hard, it's okay. love will fill my heart. -today i'll live in this world... look, isn't this working just fine. i can see you whenever i close my eyes. now i can hear that voice... here. -by my ear, walking toward you. just the dream i have every single day. if i can live with you like that. i would be able stand up again. that happiness in your precious memory, will let you feel the warmth even during difficult times. -this is my forever dream. i think it's time to bring ma jun back. i can't wait until next month's board meeting. i will have to call a temporary directors meeting, and create a position for ma jun at the company. from there, we will solve one problem at a time. -well, what's the reason for hurrying all of a sudden? we will be able to solve this issue at next month's regularly scheduled board meeting. two years ago. the stakes i bought for director choi, i might not be able to hold on to them. what are you saying? -from now on, i only have a month. if i can put together enough money, then it might be all right. otherwise the shares will be transferred to someone else. so tell me where ma jun is staying? i will personally go to persuade ma jun to come back. -will you explain in detail? how much did you borrow? i will take care of that problem myself, so... don't they make the matter bigger by keeping it to yourself. tell me. -did you forget? there shouldn't be any secrets from me. honestly, i can no longer decipher whether you are on my side or not. what did you say? if you really are on my side, then... -give me some proof. that day, the letter you saw on my desk... madam, i am back from the market. i heard that teacher pal bong lives in incheon. where in incheon? -hurry and tell me. this is refreshing. this is really good. yes. yes. -yes. this is the best tasting place in this market. but, why aren't you eating? i don't have an appetite. it's very tasty. -forget it, i will eat his share too then. do you want to eat steamed bread?

you will pay me back later? later? -who are you trying to fool? sorry. stand up. that's enough, i'm not fighting anymore. there are three sayings that are lies in this world. -one is a girl who says she will not get married. another is an old person who says he will die soon. and you, kim tak gu, saying he will not use his fists anymore. i get it, just wait a minute. tae jo, are your shoe laces tied?

what should we do? -what do you think you are doing? they are looking for me, not you. so as long as i go out, you will be safe. are you mad? are you going to give up the competition like this? -i'm sorry, seo tae jo, i can't keep my promise. but i will keep you safe to enter the competition, just relax. kim tak gu, you... whatever happens, don't come out, understand? -kim tak gu is here, say whatever's on your mind. you finally came out. i have nothing to say. i just want to settle the old debts, you punk. take him with us. -tak gu. tae jo, seo tae jo. you evil guy, you really don't fight, do you? i already said i washed my hand in flour. now i am a baker. -how can you use the hand that make bread people eat, and use the same hands to beat people? if i have done something wrong, please forgive me. if you're still mad then please, let's settle it once and for all. if you want to hit me more, go ahead. i'm okay, hit me more. -huh? this son of a bitch... so annoying, damn it! you and president gu il jung... what's your relationship? he's seriously looking for you. -what did you say? that person is looking for me? when? two years ago, not long after you came to look for the guy with a windmill tattoo. he is looking for me. -why don't you go where you are meant to be. let's not run into each other even by chance. let's go. you think the president would welcome you? you mean nothing to the president or to geosung foods. -it wasn't true. i... wasn't forgotten. it's me, any news about tak gu? is that so? please continue the search, and help me find another person. -in cheongsan-do, a man with a windmill tattoo on his arm. please help me find out where he is and what is he doing now? how much would all of this cost? how much? would 17,000 won be enough to buy these? -that's enough, we are not beggars. please go away. i'm not giving it to you for nothing. i want to buy these. if you have time later, please come visit me with your son to pal bong bakery. -i'll make you many different kind of breads that taste better than steamed buns. hey phih roh, come here. this is really good. this rice ball. kim tak gu, what are you doing here? -boss. what's wrong with your face? did some giant mosquito bite you? mi sun, jin gu, it's late now, hurry up and go back. but, boss, this... -kim tak gu and seo tae jo will probably be a little bit late. these guys are always like this whenever i'm not watching. grandpa is waiting, so go home quickly. what are you doing? aren't you helping me? -what? i sprained my ankle and it hurts real bad. hurry and come hold me up. oh. oh, that's right. -let's go, then. so... seo tae jo and kim tak gu indeed followed the agreement. is that right? did they really follow the agreement? -yes, father. that... so... now, may i take them back to the workshop? since you have decided it's like that, you may take them back there. ah, then we will... -since you twisted your foot, you should wrap it. over here. that's enough, move aside. i told you to listen to your hyung. aigoo... -thank you, seo tae jo. no need to thank me. i didn't help you because i like you. you don't have any friends, right? what? -you are so hard to get along with, how could you have any friends? from now on you are friends with this hyung. who says i want to be friends with you? i said so. how is it? -not bad, right? look at this, it's swelled a lot. you'll have to keep it iced overnight. ai, look at this. positions! -positions! today's list. tae jo, is your foot all right? i iced it last night so it's okay now. that's good. -and kim tae gu. have you prepared the material you're going to use for the competition yet? that... why are you talking like that? that... -what are these? this is the material i bought last night. where is the receipt? i bought it at a street market, so there's no receipt. anyway it came to 17,000 won. -eh? what? what? two bundles of wheat and one bag of corn cost 17,000 won? ! -where did you get so ripped off? i wasn't ripped off. are you joking? it's less than ten days away from the competition. what are you going to make with just two bundles of wheat and one bag of corn? -you have no flour, yeast, or anything else. what are you going to do? boss. kim tak gu's this is kim tak gu's flour. -and, this is my leftover yeast and butter. it's a shame to throw them away. what are you doing? some eggs and other things. i also had them left over. -what? looks like someone's heart also begins to move, grandpa. these are leftovers from all of us entering the competition. we saved them together. with these, there should be enough to make bread, boss. -kim tak gu, do you also think so? yes, these are enough to make the most filling bread in the world, boss. okay. with all this here, how can we make bread? let's move these out of the way now. -it's all settled. do you live well, my son? this is where you work? this belongs to tae jo, right? he left it here. -give it to me, i'll bring it to him. now then... why are you here, mother? i was curious about where you work and i have something for you, too. mother, no one here knows who i am. -but you come here like this, if someone saw this then... i have some words to tell you so i came here, ma jun. next time call, or wait until i go back to home, okay? you should finish up here and come back home. come back, ma jun. -mother, what do you mean by that? the competition has just started. i haven't passed the first round yet. you don't need to enter any competition. come back and learn how to run the business. -mother! i've waited two years, that's enough. and i need you now. so come back, ma jun. no, i can't go back yet. -i won't go back until the competition is completed. ma jun... i'm sorry, mother. i'll go back inside. ma jun. -seo tae jo. what's going on? who is he? tae jo... brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad -main translators: cfirst, fore spot translators: meju, pttat timer: casajuve editor/qc: reluctantbutaddicted coordinators: mily2, ay_link -out here in the middle, we have a proud history of lending a helping hand, chipping in and doing what we can for the common good... we who don't have three kids and a job, that is. that's why at our house, we have what i like to call my sucker list, 'cause only a sucker would answer a call from any of these people, jessica kirkwood, auction chairwoman? let it ring. -reverend hayver, church rummage sale. let it ring. unfortunately, mike lives in an old-fashioned world... the phone rings, you answer it. hello? -hi, sally. sally meenahan, hospitality mom. yeah, of course we'll be at axl's game. best season in a long while, huh? run the snack bar? -ell, frankie's gonna be there anyway. i don't see any reason she can't do it. oh. i... okeydoke. -bye, sally. she wants you to work the snack bar. yeah, i got that. sucker list, mike. sucker list. -are you blind? i was gesturing wildly enough to land a plane. consider this payback for the time that you volunteered me to take the aunts to see mac davis. hey. you can't stack 'em that way. -the new snack bar supervisor has crazy high standards. oh. oh, my gosh. here she comes. look busy. -okay, team snack bar! for those of you that don't know me, i'm morgan. i promised the junior achievers that i'd finally make this snack bar profitable, and that is going to happen! every dollar we earn is another step towards putting doors on the bathroom stalls. we can do this, right? -right! right. i can't hear you! right? right. -so while i was in snack bar hell, sue was in a hell of her own babysitting brick. what are you watching? "revenge of the pod zombies. " it's too scary for you. go to bed. -if you've moved up to a level where you can babysit me at night, then i've moved up to a level where i can stay up and a scary movie. i have to call mom and dad and see if it's okay. if you have to call mom and dad, maybe you're not mature enough to babysit me at all. mature. fine. -ten minutes. so catch me up. these zombies... why are they seeking revenge? ã¢â™âª -i love watching my boyfriend warm up. oh. which one is he? oh, there, he cute one with the dark hair... number 23. wait. -uh, that's your boyfriend? the... that one there with the hair in his eyes? oh. since when? six weeks next wednesday. -six weeks? wow. well, that's... that's plenty of time to, uh, you know, meet the parents and everything. oh, they're dead, which is okay, 'cause he said they were really lame. i'm just messing with you, mrs. heck. -i know who you are. oh. you do? totally! hi! -hi. i actually wanted to meet you a while ago, but you know how axl is. no, i-i don't. tell me. oh, you know, he's just shy in that really adorable way of his. -but once you get to know him, he's so hilarious. axl heck, number 23? oh, and every day he leaves a note in my locker telling me another reason he loves me. axl's been in love for six weeks? in retrospect, i guess there were signs. -mom, what rhymes with "tenderly"? mom, i think i'm in love. shh! no talking during the mcdreamy scenes. time to form a cheer-a-mid! -it was so great finally meeting you, mrs. heck. you, too. bye. hey. call me. -six weeks. her name's morgan. i'm gonna snoop out some more information from the other moms. you work the stands and see if the dads know anything. who am i kidding? -they won't. oh, my god, mike. can you believe it? our little boy's in love. aah! -this is too scary. i i think we should turn it off. no. if we turn it off now, we won't get to the happy ending part. -aah! there is no happy ending part! so apparently, along with being head cheerleader, she's, like, on a zillion student committees, gets straight a's and founded the young hoosier honor society. wow. yeah. -but still, they've been dating for six weeks, and this is the first we hear of her? i don't know if i trust this girl. hi, mrs. heck. hey, morgan. now that we've officially met and my relationship with axl is out in the open, -i realize the awkward position we've put you in by not telling you about our relationship. i'm sure you have a ton of questions. well, actually, i do. come on in. for starters, we're not having sex. -that's something i think we should wait for, at least until college. we're young. we have to build a solid foundation before even thinking about doing stuff like that. i love her. hi, mr. heck. -morgan. hi. we didn't get to meet yesterday, but i brought you some muffins i made. thanks. are these blueberry or boysenberry? -both. i'll go wake axl. oh, actually, could i do it? i really want to see his sleepy face. i bet it's really cute. -oh. don't worry. i'll just knock on the door. it wouldn't be appropriate to go into his room. end of the hall. -i love her. i love her more. there's one thing that's kinda bugging me, though. what's she doing with axl? right? -i mean, it's weird, right? i... look, is that bad for me to say? i mean, i adore him. no, i know. -it's just that she's so... going places, and doesn't seem to want to go anywhere. heck curse. we're irresistible, and we have a gift for luring in women who are clearly out of our league. aah! -aah! what are you doing? i was too scared to sleep, and is is the only room in the house where i got to keep the lights on all night. i couldn't sleep either. every time i closed my eyes, -i saw zombies ripping the guts out of taylor lautner! maybe we should tell mom we saw the movie. no, you can't tell mom! she'll think i'm a bad babysitter. you are a bad babysitter! -you let me watch a scary movie i am too young for. besides, mom always makes it better when i'm scared. did the mom in the zombie movie make it better? no. she ate her baby's face off. -hi, guys. oh, my gosh. he was so adorable when i woke him up. yep, morning's his most adorable time of day. okay, here we go. -what are you doing? i don't want to watch it again! trust me. if we watch it again during the day, we'll see how silly it is, and we'll totally laugh about it, and the movie will lose its power over us. aah! -oh, my god! i thought those zombies were eating hamburger last time. they're really eating that nun's liver! i just realized zombieism is just cannibalism in virus form. this can actually happen! -aah! while my two kids who were usually happy were unhappy, my one kid who was never happy was. he'd had girlfriends before, but this was something special. the last seven weeks and two days have been so great. i know, right? -but i don't think we should go out anymore. you want to just sit in the car and explore our bodies? axl, what i'm saying is... i think we should break up. wh-what? -why? what... what did i do? nothing. it's just... i don't know, like last week, we were at the library, and i was doing research and you just kept staring at that video game magazine. -it had a hologram of a dragon. which is cool, but a whole hour? i... look... you are really fun. -i just think that i may need someone a little less fun and more focused, you know? but we're, like, in love. hey. is morgan staying for dinner? no. -aw, that's too bad. i found a pan in the drawer. i thought i'd try cooking something. you know, we could always order in. hey. -hey, what's wrong? she broke up with me. what? mom, i feel like i'm dying. oh. -oh, honey, i know. i know. shh. oh, god. i forgot how soft his skin was. -what's up with axl? he's crying. there's only one logical explanation... he's become a pod zombie! don't be ridiculous. -okay. that is weird. hey. he what's this? or something? -no, i'm fine. then why are you crying? i'm not crying, okay? god! way to go, mike. -we were hugging. ever since mike made him feel embarrassed about crying, axl was emotionally closed off. axl. i want you to know there is nothing wrong with a man showing his feelings. -you got your hug. now get off me, okay? there's just something i want you to hear. frankie, it's me. you hear that? -it's our song, baby. it came on the radio and i... oh, i had to call you. please, frankie. please take me back. -i'm so lost without you. oh, god! is that dad? yes. yes, it is. -he left this on my machine after we broke up for a few weeks when we were first dating. are you serious? ã¢â™âª your baby needs someone to believe in ã¢â™âª ã¢â™âª i'm gonna hold on loosely, but i won't let go ã¢â™âª see? everyone hurts sometimes, even your dad. -dude, he sounds like such a dork! is that how i sounded? god! who's the dork? if you get this before morning, call my pager. -i'm at the chi-chi's on route 42, waiting by the pay phone. the chi-chi's where we sat in back and fed each other nachos, remember? i love you, frankie. i love you so much, my heart... frankie, what are you doing? -are you nuts? ! where did you get that? ! what... what even is that? -! i can't believe that you saved that. besides, i don't even think that's me. okay. i gotta go. -mike. what is the matter with you? what? i think it's sweet. it's not sweet. -it's not anything. give me that tape. no! i love this tape. you even made up your own lyrics to 38 special for me. -you said i was your angel from above. where is that part? my shirt still smells like your hair. aah! la la la la la! -i miss your hair. i can't hear it. so you love me. so what? stop saying that! -give me the tape! what, love? you want me to stop saying "love"? ma and you played it for our son? ! -it's embarrassing. it's embarrassing that your son knows that you loved his mother enough to cry? that's what's embarrassing you? hey, let's pull out some pictures of you and your giant perm. i know they're in here somewhere. -i didn't do this to embarrass you. axl is going through a really tough time, and he's never been that open with his emotions, and he just needs to see that it's okay to cry. but it isn't! i think that tape makes that perfectly clear. oh, man. -oh, god! frankie! after days of avoiding axl mike realized he couldn't do it forever. hey. -h- hey. not much to eat. nope. so, you know, axl, uh, about the thing you heard the other day... you mean the tape? -we don't have to give it a name. i just, uh, thought that i should say... about the thing you don't have to explain it... don't look at me. just let me say that for whatever reason, women love it when men cry. i- it's why your mom sees every damn sean penn movie that comes out. -yeah, she's pretty gay for him. yeah, so, you know... what you heard, uh, on that thing that your mom played for you, kinda got me your mom. so... yeah. -i guess so. i think i see some cheese back there. sweet. good talk. yep. -ã¢â™âª and the home of the brave ã¢â™âª is there nothing she can't do? god, i miss her. ehlert motors is proud to sponsor the thundering hen division playoff with this very generous donation of $25! so when shopping for your next car, remember the ehlert motto... -who cares? yeah! whoo! oh, this is so close. let's go, team hens! -whoo! axl is on fire! he keeps looking at morgan. well, he's channeling his heartbreak into his game. i bowled a 280 the night you broke up with me. -sue, i need you to take me to the bathroom. i'm not missing the game. fine. stay here alone with pod mom and dad. i'm taking brick to the bathroom. -okay. blue and white! i'm pretty sure there's a boys' bathroom around here somewhere. oh, here it is. brick? -did you already go in? no one's allowed in the east wing after dark. i'm just waiting for my brother. he's in the bathroom. couldn't be that bathroom. -it's been locked for two days. brick? way to rebound, son! make the shot! let's go to state! -come on! hey. why is he stopping? axl, what are you doing? did something happen? -whatever happened, we could have been a help to you if we had been here. i mean... we can be help to you in the future. i'll be on my way. she's so stiff. it was chaotic today. -what happened? something happened? they went at it with each other, with choi hyun wook. tit for tat. one on one. -back and forth. who won? i think it'll be an on-going battle. did you get hurt, too? no, i wasn't. -didn't you just get burned? the doctor insisted on this. to you, too? he said chefs don't take care of their bodies. the doctor here knows a thing or two. -oh my. what time is it? are you finished? why? do you think the kitchen couldn't have functioned without you? -i'm not needed but you need to be there. don't you remember we have a lot of chefs in our kitchen? not a lot... hey, goldfish. goldfish. -what? why are you being so rude and turn you back to me? why don't you rudely turn you back too then? if you turn your back like that, the needle can come out. really? -dummy. it's kind of strange here. it's like the doctor considers it a business. i like it. burns need to be treated for a few days so don't neglect to come here daily to get treatment. -it won't be good for a woman's arm to be full of burn scars. i notice a knife scar earlier. a chef isn't a gangster. if a chef has scars from being burned or cut, aren't they like medals to the chef? that's what i mean. -why didn't you just let me get hurt? why did you jump in like that? huh? you're a woman. always woman this, woman that. -when i get out of here, i'm getting a tattoo of a dragon here. for me, even if my wrists get thick like a gang member, as long as i can make wonderful pasta, there's nothing else i'd need.. there are no female gangsters. the gangsters must be just like you. there are no women in my gang. -there's no love to happen in my gang. hey. do you like that pasta you love so much or me better? chef. do you like cactus or me better? -chef. do you like cactus of pasta better? chef. oh my. think before you answer, okay? -hesitate a bit before answering. you're a woman. oh my goodness. again with that woman, woman. brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad -main translators: yoitzo, songbird spot translator: songbird timer: sasa7320 editor/qc: snoopyvkd coordinators: mily2, ay_link -hey, sae young! don't let it go easily. hyung, hyung, hyung! sunbae! let's take her with us. -come back right now! i can't get out of the car! this is only the beginning. you want me to quit and leave on my own? didn't you know that when you came here? -don't run. don't run. don't run. you're fired! close the door. -things are going well? even without us? are you two dating? you know what will happen if you are? do you want to be with the student longer, teacher? -she likes another man. and i like another woman. who is that other man? are you showing favoritism only to seo yoo kyung? so you're going to make me walk out of here, is that it? -trying to find fault. i'm going to treat you better than he does. what will you do to treat me better? come with me. chef! -brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad who are you? starting tomorrow, you'll use a frying pan. start to work tomorrow. can you say it one more time, chef? -starting tomorrow... you'll use a pan. starting tomorrow... start to work! thank you. -i'll work very hard. thank you, chef! episode 4 congratulations. seo yoo kyung, you're the best. -seo yoo kyung, congratulations, really! what... what...? i'm sure he wants to poke his eyes out about now. it's good. even after being cooled, it's not oily and the taste of the pasta is kept intact. -you coated it well with the cheese. and the more you chew, the deeper the flavor gets. and the heat from the peppers is well balanced. thank you. your aioli is good enough... to put on customers' tables. -thank you. congratulations. isn't this the first time he's picked a woman, hyung? the chef has done numerous blind tests in italy, but something like this had never happened. then the three of you went through this to pass? -of course. so then, if yoo kyung is going to cook, then what's going to happen to me? who's going to be the kitchen assistant? by any chance....? hello, goldfish. -if it makes you uncomfortable, leave. you've worked hard. are you a woman? pardon? are you a woman? -do you regret picking me? follow me. the weight of the pans, clams, broth, onions and the pasta total 1.5 kilograms. since you have two, the combined weight is 3 kilograms. a newborn infant weighs about 3 kilos. -so what you're shaking in your hands now is an infant. i see. an infant baby. as you shake the baby so roughly, it's shocked and got motion sickness. take a look. -see how many of the babies can't get out of the pan. move aside. you threw the baby away because it's too heavy. without the nurturing of a mother, the baby cannot survive. yes, sir. -in the kitchen, even men can have babies. lunch time. the lunch time may be two hours, between noon and 2pm. but the time the customer gives us is only 20 minutes. lunch orders begin at noon and as soon as the order is taken, the bread, salad, and pasta must be served within 20 minutes with no exception. -customer gets here at noon and by 12:30, he doesn't have his pasta. oh my god. that's unimaginable to the customer. we have 2 floors to serve. each of the 200 orders of pasta... -must get out within 20 minutes. are you prepared to do that? yes, chef. you might be angry that you picked a woman, but, i'll try to make sure you won't regret it. please teach me, chef. -like now, one by one, please teach me. uh... since the new chef arrived, the sales have drastically... went up? they've dropped. sunbae, i wish you'd stop asking to meet with things like this. -why don't you learn how to use the computer? what is this? drawing the marks was too difficult on it. oh, really! i'm sure it'll go up, starting next month. -oh, of course. definitely! yes. unni! they're re-opening and are hiring. -where, where, where? where? oh, but they're only hiring waiters. sunbae-nim! you're home? -it's cold, isn't it? why are you so late? did you have dinner? you're cold? i'm going back to work at la sfera starting tomorrow. -huh? woah! he told me to start on the pans. wow. how? -ah... that... just you? so you're saying you're the only one to be hired again? is that it? -uh... yes. why just you? why? why? yes. -we're meeting at la sfera at 3 o'clock so i'll go there directly. i've talked to the owner but if shooting in the kitchen is... never mind. yes. jung eun soo. -yes, chef. you're the kitchen assistant starting today. seo yoo kyung. yes, chef. you'll be cooking pastas. -yes, chef. you'll have support for one week. starting next week, you'll be on your own. yes, chef. and you are no longer permitted in the kitchen locker room. -yes... what? use the locker room with the female waiters. okay? chef! if i tell you to do it, do it. -i don't want to, chef. why not? because i'm a cook. because i'm a cook! fine, whatever. -uh, during the past few days, due to the chaotic environment of the kitchen, the sales figures have noticeable dropped. now that the kitchen has been set up, we'll have to rely on good teamwork and focus on increasing the sales. chef, may i hope for that? reforming the kitchen has not been completed yet. pardon? -the real work is just now beginning. haven't you cut out all the staff you wanted? you still have... the "cut" list will be as follows. me? -i said i won't be romancing in the kitchen anymore. even if i wanted to... there's no one to do it with. the 3rd on the list, foie gras will be cut. that's the best seller in this restaurant. -they stick straws into the geese's throat, don't let them any chance to digest the food, then pour food down into them so that their liver, originally the size of a legume, grows to the size of this fist. that is your foie gras. is that a humane thing to do? but still... that's our group's chairman's regular menu selection. -if you don't mind a straw being stuck down your throat and without giving you a chance to digest the food, pour food down until you liver grows to the size of a car, to be sliced and fried up to serve, then go right ahead. second on the list, the spoon is out. ah, why the spoon? from the now on, the amount of sauce will be reduced by half. the pasta should absorb up the sauce so that a spoon is not needed. -it is no longer going to be the pasta, so drenched in sauce, customers suck it up and swallow without chewing. it will be pasta that the flavor develops deeper the more you chew. that is a true pasta dish. the serving plates will be flat, leaving the kitchen without liquid. the pasta bowls, obviously, will be out. -the people in this country like their pasta to be like jjajangmyun*. (*noodles with black-bean sauce) top on the list, chef! the customers have no idea how much sugar is in it. -because they don't know, it's okay. because they don't know, they eat it. in addition to being a pile of sugar, no matter what kind of pasta is served, the customers eat it with pickles. this barbaric behavior will no longer be tolerated. pickle! -out. do you want us to stay in business or not? the pickle...! the kitchen staff, say something. am i wrong? -uh, without the pickle, the food is too rich and the customers won't come to an italian restaurant, chef. how can you eat pasta without pickles? you've gone crazy, chef. not a single dish of these crazy items will leave the kitchen. those in charge of the items report to my office. -you're dismissed. he's a lunatic. why are you here? i'm in charge of the pickles. i was told to come, so i came. -did you bring your resignations? if you came here to try and change my mind, give me your letters. huh? allow me to ask one question. when the sales fall, how will you take responsibility for it? -do you have any sense of endearment to your place of work, to your kitchen? continue. cutting out the items i'm in charge of preparing, for whom are you doing that? customers? that's not even for the customers, is it? -what i've made at la sfera everyday without missing a single day are the pickles. of course there are times when the menu changes depending on the season or trend, and there are menu items that come and go. but not the pickles, chef. the customers enjoy pasta because of the pickles. just like eating kimchi with ramen noodles, radish cubes with roasted chicken, pickled radish with jjajangmyun... -shhh. the moment you make the pickles, you're out. make them. make them. i'll take full responsibility. -t... t.. then, sous chef, i'll keep the amount of sauce the same? you'll take responsibility for me too, right? of course. and i will be serving foie gras. i cannot accept your latest "cut list" in silence. -the chef rules... in the kitchen. then follow your rules. sous chef, let's talk. do you think i'm doing this for sales only? i don't like having to tell the customers that they have to eat what we give them. -are the customers dogs? are they pigs? do they have to eat whatever the owner gives them? it's not something given to them for free. we don't have this or this or this, so don't ask for it. -we won't give it to you. you must think they go to restaurants to eat whatever is given to them, but the choice belongs to the customers. why are you dismissing their right to enjoy the food in their own way? so if the customer asks for bad food, i suppose you'll give it to them. -is it the same? do you think like them? pardon? let's go. yes, sous chef. -what are you doing? you... if the chef took you back, you should be grateful. how can you act this way when he hired you back? get back here. -stop. you better get in the right line. you should do what the chef says. chef, you shouldn't look down on this here in korea. we won't be fired. -we'll be closing our doors. yes. there is a person who wants to go to level 2. yes, i know. ah, it's someone you know? -yes. then instead of me escorting the guest, do you want to meet them here? i'll do that. yes. i heard you have a new chef. -uh huh. then the flavor will change too. i'm sure it will. i should go for a taste. be discreet. -you'll be happy this time. why? go and check out the kitchen staff. why? go see. -kitchen? excuse me. please enjoy. oh, see here. yes. -pickles, please. please bring me some pickles. oh, that... you can't bring me any pickles? right, sir. -how can i eat this rich food without pickles? the pickles are tangy-salty-sweet so it seems like a low cal item. but the sugar makes it a high calorie item. it's not healthy for you and masks the true flavor of your pasta dish. then why did you give it to me the last time? -it wasn't full of sugar and good for your health then? sir. the true taste of the pasta? how dare you try and teach me? ridiculous. -what's with this? give me some more sauce then. that is not possible either. the coffee is complimentary. after your meal, it removes traces of fats and leaves a clean after taste. -i want to see seo yoo kyung. seo yoo kyung? i may look the way i do but i enjoy carbonara cream spaghetti. i'm busy right now. why has the sauce been reduced to the amount of an ant's teardrop? -then it will diminish the need for eggs drastically, right? and if you don't put pickles on the tables, who will order spaghetti with cream sauces? the egg order will probably reduce to an ant's teardrop as well. i'm heartbroken also. for the past 3 years, the only thing i made that made it to the customers' tables was the pickle. -do you know that? if you continue this way, you might be shedding tears. i most definitely returned the 10 million won. do you have proof? there's no proof that you returned the money, but there is proof that you received the money. -the bank records of the deposit. since totti took off for italy, you just swallowed it all up yourself, didn't you? swallowed it all? chef, are you really going to be this way? i'm not without recourse. -the reaction might be strong in the beginning but they'll get used to it soon. i'm certain of it, so please don't worry. this isn't italy so have your way in italy. if you're in korea, you should follow the ways of korea. this is worse than a restaurant serving korean food without kimchi. -in total honesty, would you be able to show how the pickle is made to the customers? show them the sacks of sugar being poured in to make those pickles? they eat it because they don't know. they didn't see it so they ask for it. how long are you going to keep your head in the sand? -huh? there is not a single italian restaurant in korea that does not serve pickles. go check out the foreigner villages. that's because there are many foreigners in the area so it's possible for them there! giving our korean people something good for them doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. -what are you doing? why aren't you stopping him? ! all right. sang shik, bring a bowl. -okay. you guys want to die? the president says it's okay. the chef says it's not. the customers in the dining hall are asking for it. -then are you a service employee? did he say you? what did he just say? make them. don't make them. -make them! you just try and make them. what are you doing? get that out of there. enjoy your meal. -eat up. okay. hyung-nim. come down and eat, chef. do i seem like a person who came here to fight? -i must. what is your dream kitchen like? for me, if you hadn't made a home for the goldfish at the crosswalk, no matter how much i love this kitchen, i wouldn't have had the courage to come back here. and you're so good at catching mice*. -(same word in korean as cramps) the others didn't get to see that home. the others didn't see you catching mice. are you trying to console me or suck up to me? does sucking up work with you? -no. then does consoling work with you? no. then what will work with you? nothing. -please eat. welcome. hello, you've been well? yes. welcome all of you. -hyung! hyung! where's the chef? the wine delivery came in. why? -big trouble! what now? what now? she's here. it's this way. -okay this way. come this way. ms. oh sae young. would you like to take a look around? -the walk-in is over there and inside it is the freezer. what? may i have your autograph? your dinner will be on me. please showcase our restaurant nicely. -so this is the chef's table at la sfera. what are you doing right now without even a single word? aren't you the expert in doing things without discussing? must i get your permission to use the facility? they will be finished before dinner. -don't you want to use this chance and get a new chef? of course he doesn't. chef, i'm a regular customer here. i came here today very nervous and excited. i would also like to ask you to sample my pasta later. -you're not a person who can taste something and lie about it. i know how great your pasta is without having to taste it. are you trying to avoid me? you must not be very confident. really? -go ahead and do whatever you want then. all right, let's all move out of their way. they need to set up. get out, what autograph right now? get out! -get out! weren't you two close? isn't that why you recommended him? hello. it's me. -since you've taken over the chef's table, why don't you stay and take care of the dinner? huh? what are you up to? ! seeing you get so mad, it makes me think you stayed mad at me for the last 5 years. -so knowing that you didn't forget about me makes me happy. just exactly why are you doing this to me? why are you gnawing your way even into my kitchen? huh? i was most afraid that you'd have completely forgotten about me. -i didn't want that. this is nice. it reminds me of the past. even back in italy, whenever we had to compete, we often fought with each other. is there something left that you want to take from me? -so what are you going to steal now? it's okay for you to take your time, getting mad at me for a long, long time. i'm ready for it. the person who was a man to you died back then. don't come around looking for a dead man again. -let's live together. please get ready. okay. i'm scared. scared, scared, scared. -scared. i didn't have a chance earlier to greet you. move out of the way. uh, madam. what do you mean "madam"? -don't you know i'm single again? move. ah, yes. that kid... he's new, isn't he? -yes. look at his hair. a boy with hair like that. you'll be happy this time. go check out the kitchen. -he works in the kitchen? yes. i'll tell him to cut his hair immediately. i'll tell him to shave his head. if you make him cut his hair, you will be cut. -chef! ms. oh sae young left this here for you. clean it up. there's poison in it. if you eat it, you'll die. -close your mouth. is that the last one? yeah. what are you doing? all this is yoo kyung's. -what do you think will happen to her? there's something strange going on with her. what? think about it. even if she did pass the blind test, there's something going on between the two of them. -what do you mean? what's going on? just something. this is it? it's cut by half. -if we continue to not serve pickles, sauce and foie gras, it's possible our sales will go down by 80%. president, perhaps i need to start looking for another job? starting tomorrow, accept the orders. pardon? take the orders! -since when did the waitstaff become slaves to the kitchen staff? then what about the pickles? who's going to make the pickles? we don't have a single piece right now. where's seo yoo kyung? -make the pickles. until the chef says i can, i won't be making them. make them while i'm saying it nicely. i can only take orders from the chef. you took money from kwang tae, didn't you? -he provides us with basil, and quite large quantities of other items? you're greedier than you look. you're wrong. i returned the money. right before chef totti left for italy, i returned the money. -i can fire you, too. me too, i can fire you. make the pickles and don't leave them in the kitchen. put them in the dining hall. there's a refrigerator out there too. -if you put them there, the waiters will serve them from there. move out of the way. come pick them out. come pick. how much are the squids? -they're 3 for 5,000 won. give me those. the white ones taste better. no, they're better. give me those. -squids are fresher the darker they are. when you come here to the market, don't give in to the vendors. yes, chef. we're going to decide on our future vendors today. yes, chef. -no, ahjussi. i asked for these. this isn't bad either. just give me these. why is such a young man so stubborn? -how can i do business this way? you should take one or two of the white ones. the squids turn white when the oxygen is gone but it's same as the darker ones. since they're the same, give me these. no, no, no, no. -just one. only one. no, i don't want it. no, not even one. i told you they're all the same. -give me these. why are you so...? he has to answer. totti, where are you? the number you have dialed is no longer in service. -the number you have dialed is no longer in service. welcome. welcome. where...? ah! -you're from la sfera. we supply you with basil as well. is that so? yes. i heard a lot about you from seo yoo kyung. -dad. why aren't you sleeping some more? it's cold. go back inside. i got a text message from noona. -eh? she has a death wish and is doing anything to die. do you think something happened to her? what could happen to her? even if it did, it'd be nothing. -she's calling. are you ignoring my message? you're worse than your father. you can stay in the med school dormitory. or sleep in the intern quarters at the hospital. -isn't it being a good doctor to stay near the patients? then you can stay close to your customers and eat and sleep in the kitchen. this punk...! how long are you going to mooch off of dad like that, huh? how dare you call up a man and say the things you just said. -you're cluttering up the mind of a doctor, so hang up. don't you know the saying that a good chef is better than a doctor, dad? both professions end in "sa". (in korean) why do you look down on me like that? does a quack doctor sound good to your ears? and there's even a saying that a good cook can eliminate the need for a doctor. -out of all professions ending in "sa", i consider the chef to be the best! that rude girl... now where can i go? i'm going crazy. there's not one piece of pickle. -not even a trace of it, of a pickle. okay. this way. it's cold outside, isn't it? yes, it's very cold. -right this way. get that marille out quickly. yes, chef. are you making jjajangmyun? oh, right. -since the sauce is reduced by half, the movement of the pan must be quicker. don't let the pasta drown in the sauce but make it absorb the sauce. yes, chef. move for a minute. yes. -quickly, quickly, quickly. even more quicker. more quicker. okay? yes, chef. -the greatest praise of a cook is an empty plate. it's more precise and more powerful than any word expressing how much they enjoyed it. trust me, then only empty plates will come back. do you understand? yes, chef. -table number 7! foie gras lunch course for five. clear foie gras soup. button mushroom, root vegetable foie gras gratin. ending with foie gras ravioli. -please. what are you doing? it was an advance order from 3 days ago. do you want me to break the promise made to the customer? do you know how much this table's bill totals to? -it's more than 10 tables of pastas. you know, don't you? five foie gras lunch set. okay. sang shik, bring the mushrooms and root vegetables. -okay. seung jae, start the sauce. okay. start the ravioli. i got it. -eun soo, bring the foie gras. what? bring it. yes. need more dishes! -i got it. i'll explain to the table myself. i apologize. our kitchen no longer prepares foie gras items. i sincerely apologize for not letting you know earlier. -in return, we will serve you only, a course you've never seen before, specially prepared for you. will that be all right with you? no. what is all this about? huh? -didn't you just say you can prepare it, president seol? of course, we can. we'll prepare it for you. i'm a great fan of the sous chef's foie gras menu items. let us have it. -we've heard all about how inhumane it is and all. but if you want to be a top restaurant, you need to, at the very least, serve foie gras. do you know how difficult it was for me to bring these presidents here today? and we're paying to eat so why do we have to plead like this, president seol and sous chef? -you're right. we'll prepare it for you. please anticipate it. what are you doing not serving them? yes. -pardon? oh, yes. it scared me for a minute that we wouldn't get to eat foie gras today. i know. the chef saw it. -what? the chef saw the pickles. you! you made the pickles, didn't you? huh? -is it funny? what do you take my words for? ! no, chef. why do you do this and yet try so hard to stay in my kitchen? -to do this? you stayed to do this? to stab me in the back? i did it because i wanted to learn more from you. i wanted to stay under you longer. -there's so much i want to learn from you, please don't kick me out. i'll die if you tell me to die and i'll be the bottom if you want me to be the bottom. does that make any sense? ! please bring them more pickles. -enjoy your meal. is there anything you need? no. i see. enjoy your meal. -what's your excuse? are you going to make them again? yes. yes? are you challenging me? -no, i wasn't. you offer no excuses and say you'll make them again. and that's not a challenge? you're very much like someone. fine. -let's see how far this goes. you're right, chef. i also want to do as you say. seo yoo kyung. are you going home already? -hey, hey. what are you doing at this hour? we're getting ready for tomorrow. prep. go turn it over. -why don't you just give in? leave the prepping of indecent items to us. why are the important chefs from italy involving themselves like this? it's cold in there, isn't it? come on out. -you shouldn't be disobeying the chef's orders like this. you can't! don't do this. come on out. isn't it time for you to go home? -how much longer must the cooks in the kitchen fight each other like this? that's what i want to ask. as soon as he got here, he fired everybody here, replaced them with his own people. making people take sides. this line, that line! -who's the one who created this division in the first place? the kitchen functions on teamwork. just making himself out to be the only important person, the only one who can use a knife well. that doesn't necessarily make a person a good chef. if he wants respect as chef, tell him to show us the proper leadership. -why are you doing that? seo yoo kyung, you did good. ow, my arm. is it done? yes, but it's a little... -what is this? this is pickle? why no cucumbers? it's a new item? i didn't put any sugar in it. -really? i didn't need the sugar because of the natural sweetness of the fruit. and it'll help with the digestion. are you crazy? d...d...d...do you... you know how much this costs? -are you insane? pear, persimmon, pineapple... a case of cucumber cost 20,000 won, 200 cucumbers per case. five cases makes it 1,000 cucumbers, costing 100,000 won to make enough for the entire day. pear, persimmons, pineapple at 1,000 each per day? -! pears alone cost 50,000 won per case! should we start charging for the pickles? you stupid, nincompoop! the cost of the pickles for the day equals your monthly salary. -how did you think this was possible! huh? ! chef... you... are in charge, aren't you? -eggs... that's your responsibility, right? brought to you by with s2 written in the heavens subbing squad main translator: songbird timer: casajuve editor/qc: snoopyvkd -coordinators: mily2, ay_link i got it. 10 million won. i can smell it. the smell of money. things like that can happen. -ouch. yes, chef. what are you looking at? chef, are you going to fire me again? we just need to take care of 1 or 2 of them, then you'll be the chef. -look here! just this one... can't you just trust me? president seol knows about it? the ambassador's party of six have arrived. -this way, please. welcome to la sfera. please take good care of us, chef. until when will you only do what you're told. you, out. -you, fired. is he the chef? why are you so interested in my kitchen, my restaurant? do you own it or something? the customer is king. -i must be crazy. i used to think i had to give up being a woman to be a chef. don't do that. it looks pretty. there's someone i like. -are you sick? doesn't he know what time it is? he's working her to death. one, two, three! oh, hey. -oh, hey, tori. how's it going? what's up? well, after school i was thinking we should all -go hang out at the grove. you wanna-wanna? uhh. oooh. we really can't. -how come? well, uh, we have ping pong practice. uh-huh. shut up. -it's true. yeah. we're all on the ping pong team. me, andre, robbie, beck and jade. -there's no ping pong team at hollywood arts. aahh. listen, tori, um, you're still kinda new here -and there's some things that you just don't under-- what kind of gum are you chewing? i don't know. -sinjin made it. smell her mouth. sure. hmm, smells like that trip we took to acapulco last year. -yes. oh, you have mexican-flavored gum? mexican is not a flavor! thank you. -look, if you guys don't wanna hang out with me, then just say so. why make up a lie that you're all -on some ping pong team? hey, tori. how's it going? what's up? okay, so now -you're gonna pretend like we're not having the conversation we're having. about what? the big ping pong team lie. -look, if you don't believe us then go the rec room. you can see all the trophies we've won. first place. -really? yeah. please. okay. then i wanna try out -for the team. ahh- what? look, if you wanna try out for the ping pong team, then you have to talk -to the team captain. fine. who's the team captain? jade. ulch. -or you can join my team. i call it rex's all hot chick volleyball squad. yeah. no. -tori! just get it off my nose. snatch it off. ooh. aw, man, -it's the stretchy kind. jade. jade. jade. i'm not going away. -and you can't just say no. no. no. no. no. -no. no. no. all right, well, you can. lane, can you come here please? -don't move. i'm staying here because i wanna stay here. what's up? jade is the captain -of the ping pong team and i wanna try out and she says i can't. yup, that's what i says. oh, come on. -why do you all have to drag me into your problems? uh, you're the guidance counselor here. can we have some guidance? -all right. all right. i've already got it loaded in here. okay, what? -see, look what it says on the offial hollywood arts website. my life is slipping away. read it. -all students are encouraged to participate in school sanctioned events, clubs and sports teams. and how can i participate -in ping pong if the team captain here refuses to even let me try out? you gotta let her try out. we don't need more players. -read the phone, jade. read the phone. oh! oh! well? -you didn't make the team. what? i beat everybody. i don't care. read the school website. -when a student tries out for a sports team for which there is no coach, the team captain shall decide if the student is granted -or denied acceptance to the team. captain says denied. but you can't-- you can't just... -read the phone, tori. read the phone. don't you steal my phone-in-face bit. hello, sinjin. -oh, my god. this is exactly how i dreamed it would happen. listen. i need you -to do something for me and you can't tell anyone. i understand. good. now, what i need you to do is-- -sinjin! don't talk. you'll ruin it. this isn't about kissing. and that's how the dream -always ends. dude, you know all those cool props and scenery pieces you made for the play beck was in -last month? yeah. i need you to build something for me. like what? -something big enough for me to hide in and spy on the ping pong team during their next practice because i swear, -there's something wonky going on with those guys and i'm gonna get to the bottom of the wonk! do you know -what you sprayed me with 'cause i'm starting to lose vision in my right eye? here's a rag. so will you build me something i can put -in the rec room and hide in? sure. yay! thanks, sinjin. here comes that feeling. -i heard that. here we go. yeah. oh, my god. man, this is the best -ping pong practice ever. i love this game. wait. wait, wait. don't lean on me. -oh. that was a foul. you're foul. oh. that tickles. -okay. let's start over. all right. okay, okay. wait. -let me get a drink first. yeah, me too. ah. what's wrong? i think i pulled a muscle. -you can't pull what you don't have. what up with this machine? it ate my dollar. all right. -let the doctor handle this. go doc. guys, guys, try rocking it. all right. whoa. -did that machine just scream like a teenage girl? all right. who put me in the soda machine? i got it. -i got it. buzz off! why were you hiding in there spying on us? 'cause i had a feeling -you guys' ping pong team was just a big fake and i was right. you weren't practicing ping pong. -you were playing retro party games. so what is up? let's just tell her. no. -yes. i think we should tell her. why don't we just drive her out to the desert and drop her off? -rex! she knows too much. tell her. there's no real ping pong team. -then what's this all about? well, it all started two years ago when the school put that ping pong table in this room. -we just walked in, and there it was. then robbie suggested that we form an official ping pong team -here at hollywood arts to compete against other schools. so i slapped robbie hard on top of his head. -it really hurt. it really hurt. i heard that. so? so a few days later, -me, andre, jade and robbie were hangin' out. when cat walked up. she was all pumped up about some fancy restaurant -her parents took her to the weekend before. they had amazing steaks and crab cakes and lobster mashed potatoes -and classy live music, and the most insane desserts i had ever tasted. which all sounded pretty good to us. -so i said, "well, we gotta go there." and i told robbie there was no way we could go there 'cause it's really expensive. -where is this story going? it actually gets weirder. you see, when cat told us that the restaurant was too expensive... -i remembered something beck had told me about all the sports teams at hollywood arts getting a minimum of $1,500 -to pay for travel and equipment. and that's when i got the idea. well, what was the idea? oh, right, i was telling a story. -i said, "maybe we should form "a fake ping pong team, "take the 1,500 bucks "and use the money for all of us "to have a fancy dinner -"at the restaurant cat told us about." at first, we thought jade's idea was crazy. but after we exchanged -some looks... we started to think it might be a pretty cool idea. but then robbie said, "wait." i reminded everyone -that all sports teams are required to have at least one faculty advisor. so we went to the only teacher we could trust. -sikowitz. but he told us our plan was way too devious and illegal. but then he said, "hey, did you hear -"that principal eikner might get fired?" help me. see, the principal's boss... the superintendent. -... was mad 'cause hollywood arts didn't have any winning sports teams. and he told principal eikner, -"at least one team "better bring home "a trophy this year or else you're fired." so i said to sikowitz, -what if the five of us... six. six of us, pretend to go to a ping pong tournament... take the 1,500 bucks -the school gives us... use 400 of it to buy a nice trophy for the school... which would keep principal eikner -from getting fired... and then use the rest of our money to take our favorite teacher to the restaurant -cat told us about... and have the most amazing dinner of our lives. and then, sikowitz was on board. -so you guys formed a fake ping pong team so you could get some money, buy a trophy for the school, save the principal's job -and take sikowitz out for a big, fancy dinner? yeah, i guess we could have just told it that way. so, are you gonna bust us now -and ruin everything? no. if... if what? and i'm very proud -to announce the newest member of the hollywood arts ping pong team, tori "the paddlepus" vega. now, wish us all luck -and hopefully we'll bring home yet another first place trophy for hollywood arts. yeah! all team members in my van. -thank you. thank you. hey, look at that. shag carpeting. oh, my god. -oh. oh my god, best food ever. right? so good. to ping pong. -to ping pong. to the pong to the ping. aw, shut up. i can't believe what she's wearing. -yes, i'm wearing a ping pong uniform. how could you not think to bring a fancy dress? i don't know. -i just didn't, okay? you said you reminded everyone to bring nice clothes. i did. you didn't remind me. -whoops. how's everyone doing? oh. it's so good. it's amazing. -good. good, good. oh, wait, ma'am. yes? what is this awesome dip? -that's caviar. it's fantastic. can i get a big bowl of it? a big bowl? yeah. -like a bowl for soup, but filled with this caviar stuff? ah, sure. i'll bring that right -to your table. you're very kind. is everyone happy tonight? oh, wonderful. how is your drink, sir? -very moist. thank you. two more people are complaining there's no live music. -so offer them a free dessert. i did. they're still upset. excuse me. here you are. -oh, thank you, dear. are you sure? yes. they can't grow lobster-flavored potatoes. -uh. uhhh-- uh, it's so good, but i'm so full. come on, man up. -here we go. oh, there it is. there it is. that's nice, isn't it? just... -thank you. breathe through it. you're a good friend. okay. what if, like, a farmer planted -a lobster and a potato in the same hole? maybe it would grow a lobtato. yes, cat. a lobtato would grow. -i'll tell the farmers. here's your check. thank you. what the hair bones? what? -it's $1,300. what? it's never been over 700. way to go, tori. i ordered the same thing -you did. wait, wait, i see the problem. they mistakenly charged us an extra $600 for caviar. -oh. excuse me, sir? hi. is anything wrong? yes. -we were mistakenly charged for $600 worth of caviar. oh, that's not a mistake. that awkward young man ordered a large bowl of caviar. -man, what were you thinking? i didn't order any caviar. robbie. i didn't know it was that expensive. -what are you talking about? all right, all right, all right! hush. robbie can't help what he is. -nevertheless, we don't have enough money to pay the check. well, sir, i'm sorry, but payment is required, or i'm going to have -to call the police. the police? oh, no. i'm sorry. jail? -i am not going to jail. claude. claude. yes, mr. conrad? where is the live music? -well... i thought perry and jordan were performing. there was a golfing accident. perry took a ball to the head. -and you didn't book another music act? i didn't find out until 4:30. people come here for classy, live music. -do you know how many customers are complaining? sir, i didn't have the time- uh, guys, guys, i think i may be able to fix both our problems here. -give me your dress. what? give me your dress. this one? whoo! -take our picture. mazal tov. mazal tov. thank you. take a good one, he's her mythological ex. -let's go over to your sister. come take one over here. how are you doing?

not so good. professor peretz was in to see her. -you can go in. read to me a little. a nice woman left it here. it's marked. "i know you feel bitter -"and that it seems to you that all hope is lost." yes... "...that all hope is lost" "ln spite of this, take yourself in hand "and know that there is nothing to lose in this world. -"for generally, when one lies in a hospital bed "and is surrounded only by doctors and nurses, "one feels humiliated, degraded and broken. "especially when one is surrounded by those "who are worse afflicted -"and the spirit of the place in itself is depressing. "therefore, "if you want to recover quickly, "you need to strengthen the other patients and tell them "that soon we'll be able to leave this place." -soon we'll be able to leave this place. unbelievable, they practically kicked me out. let's get out of here. do you know this rabbi aflalo? yeah, he's really famous here in the south. -they say he's like a holy man, works miracles, helps people. my mom admires him. hello? sara, where are you? ezra, i'm on my way back to tel aviv. -how did it go? it didn't go, they wouldn't let me see him. two thugs escorted me out, as if i were a thief. you didn't meet with anyone? only the bookkeeper who showed me how much charity they do. -okay, i'll try to talk to him. it's pointless, ezra. summon him to our office. i think we should involve the police. sara, let's wait with that. -why wait, ezra? we'll talk when i get back to the office. bye. what are you going to do in tel aviv? i'm going to say goodbye to my boyfriend, he's leaving tomorrow. -where's he going, to india? to get wasted? no. he's american, he lives in new york. we're getting married this summer. -congratulations. how long have you been together? about six weeks. so fast? i knew it the minute i saw him. -will you live in new york? yeah. is he jewish? of course. it doesn't matter to me, but my parents, you know... -what does he do? he's a businessman. he owns a factory here in the south. he had a meeting at the cafe where i work and he didn't stop staring at me the whole time. he had me in such a daze, that i dropped my tray and all the food and drinks went flying and he got up to help me... -yes? ms. katz? speaking. hello, this is rabbi aflalo. hello, rabbi. -i understand you were too busy to meet with me. ms. sara, there's a fable about a worm that was born inside a radish. it lived inside the radish and thought the world was so bitter, so dark, so small. like the radish in which it was born. but when it breaks through the peel and sees what's outside, it is amazed and says, -"i thought the whole world "was the size of the radish in which i was born "and now i see a world that is so big, cultured, "powerful and beautiful." that's a nice fable, rabbi, but it has nothing to do with the fact that i didn't get any answers or documents that can explain why you have 100 million shekels in your private account. -i'm sorry, but i have to report this to my superiors and we'll involve the police, if necessary. i advise you not to act rashly. everything we do is for the sake of heaven. to help children who have no home, families who have no food. come back, we'll talk, we'll work things out. -there's no need to involve the police, we're not criminals. "we'll work things out?" what are you suggesting? my supervisor and i will do whatever is necessary. bring any documents you have when you come in for investigation. thank you and good day. -did you hear that? that's usual around here. was that good? yes, very good. so am i hired? -we'll be in touch. leave your details with shirley, and a photo, if you have one. so you'll be in touch, right? right, right. hello. -hello. may i come in? yes, come on in. do you dance? no, not really. -not professionally. then what exactly are you doing here? you don't remember me? you invited me, at the bar mitzvah. you don't remember me? -i'm not a dancer or anything, i'm more into singing. when i was younger, i studied ballet for four years. but... i don't remember much. -dance. now? now. without any music? no music. -no music? okay. i'll just put this here. this is so embarrassing, i can't dance. what i can do is sing, so do you want me to sing? -i'm leaving, i'm sorry... no, no, i'm sorry, please sing. come sing. no, i don't want to sing, i want to leave. this was a mistake. -you're here, you may as well sing. i don't want to. i'm really sorry. i really want to hear you sing. really. -what are you going to sing? rita's "deep blue evening." great, let's hear it. a deep blue evening he puts on a reddish earring to make an impression -and smokes a cluster of flowers incense of china berry and whispers quietly maybe this time maybe this time how blue is the evening -how deep, god knows why do you not surprise clear and simple at the opening as if seeking incessantly to quench once again -to quench once again how blue... i'm sorry. i'm sorry too. i must see you again. -tomorrow? yes, tomorrow. eleven? eleven, yes. here's my card, my address is on it. -i know, you already gave me one. oh, okay. okay. yes? who? -what? i'm sorry, this is urgent. it's okay. where are you? do you know how long i've been looking for you? -i'm sorry to hear, i hope it's nothing serious. i'm sorry to hear. can i... can i come see you? not now? -then when? at five? what ward? have a seat, sara. something to drink? -no, thanks. what are we going to do about this rabbi aflalo? they're a bunch of criminals, ezra. i spoke to them, they'll come in with all the paperwork. good. -i think we should involve the police. slow down, sara. first let's see if they owe anything to the tax authority. but wait with that. ease off the investigation concerning goren from israel oil and focus on rabbi aflalo. -but take it nice and slow. ilan will deal with israel oil. what are you talking about? the work on israel oil is done. excuse me. -ilan, come sit with us. this concerns you too. hi, ilan. i've got proof of 800 million shekels being illegally transferred from israel oil to companies in jordan and norway without any goods being supplied. i have proof of bribes that goren... -bribes are for the police to deal with, not us. bribes aren't exempt from taxes, ezra. goren has a fortune stashed away in the ukraine, and i just read that he wants to run for prime minister. as far as i'm concerned, you can summon him in tomorrow. there's no reason to panic, sara. -you're doing an excellent job and you deserve all the credit. we'll get our hands on him and bring him down. ezra... if you take me off this case, i'll go straight to the comptroller. it was the comptroller's decision. i don't believe you. -ask him yourself. excuse me. hello? hello? sara, please calm down. -i'm your boss and it's my decision, that's the way things work. what is your problem? hello? who is this? you don't scare me. -sara! please hand over all the files to ilan. hi, michael. i hope you're okay and nothing happened to you. i'm here. -call me please. are you sad? excuse me? are you sad? do me a favor, leave me alone, i have a headache. -would you like a tylenol? i've got excedrin, bufferin, advil liquid gel, xanax, cipramil. want to take a rest at my place? i live nearby. -put your hair up, maybe that's why you have a headache. don't touch me! okay, sorry. want a massage? it'll help you relax, get rid of your negative thoughts, it can center you... -i can read your palm. don't touch me! hey, man, what are you doing? is he bothering you? get the fuck out of here! -are you okay? did he hurt you? thank you. no problem. which way are you headed? -nowhere in particular. your bag looks heavy, let me help you. it's okay, thanks. give it to me... that's pretty heavy. -yeah. so, what are you doing here? i'm meeting my boyfriend. where are you from? ofakim. -wow. nice day today, huh? yeah. hey! hey! -he stole my bag! hey! hey! stop! he stole my bag! -stop! hey, your strap slipped down. yeah. okay. no problem, bye. -excuse me, can i use your cell phone? sorry, i'm in a hurry, there's a pay phone over there. many years ago when i was abroad, a doctor told me that by the time you turn 50, the disease homes in on you and that's it. everything is channeled into the pain. you're happy, aren't you? -yes. you're so beautiful. and thin. stop it, mom. but it's good for a model. -today you all have to look like rails. michali... i want to tell you something. what? i don't want to take it with me to the grave. -i want to tell you, it's important to me. mom, enough. it doesn't matter, he's long dead. he used to beat me. he'd get drunk and scare me. -he said he'd kill me if i tried to do anything. i couldn't help you. i don't want to hear it, i don't know what you're talking about. i didn't protect you, my child. mom, stop it. -i don't want to hear it. nurse! nurse! my mother isn't feeling well. i'm leaving, mom. -you're not feeling well. you need to rest, i'll come back later. she's in pain, she's hallucinating, give her something. i want to sleep. "at 3:30 pm... -"while i was walking along the beach... "someone came up to me... "and started talking to me." is that right? yes. he also made all kinds of advances, but he didn't do anything, he just talked. -"...and also made... "sexual advances... "but didn't touch me." okay? sort of, it wasn't really sexual... -okay. where do you live? ofakim. and what are you doing here? what's the difference? -answer the question, okay? i came to visit my boyfriend. and where is he? i don't know. i can't find him, he's not answering his phone. -what's that got to do with my bag getting stolen? how old are you? why are you asking all these questions? i came to report a stolen bag. write down what you had in your bag and go home. -we'll be in touch if we find anything, but the chances are very low. did you have any money in your bag? wait here, i'll be right back. i may be able to give you a ride home. i'm from the south too. -so wait for me here, okay? sorry. hey. walk with me, i gotta pee. you won't believe it. -a year ago, a complaint was filed against a guy who looks just like you. he was outside your pub at 4am, taking a leak. he saw that old lady, who works as a cleaner, and started jerking off in front of her. he pulled his thing out and started jerking off. you're sure it wasn't you? -are you nuts? why would i pee outside, there's no bathroom in the pub? what am i, a pervert? she testified that it was you. i don't believe it. -what is this, some kind of bad joke? maybe some policeman... some drunk did it and she saw me standing outside the pub and what remained in her memory is my face. because i'm at the pub all day, i own it, after all. maybe she didn't even see the bastard's face because it was dark and what she remembered was my face. -i didn't do it, anati, come on, you know me. you never know... anati, you're really stressing me out. you think i wouldn't remember something like that? why jerk off in front of an old lady in the middle of the night? -i'm crazy about you. crazy about you. it was in ramat gan, outside a health clinic, where she works. fuck you. why did you do that to me? -i was about to confess. am i a good investigator or what? fuck you. come on, let's make some coffee. i want to file a complaint. -elisha, just forget about it. don't get involved in this nonsense. it's of no public interest. do i look like some kind of public to you? those motherfuckers threatened me with pitchforks. -they're telling the whole world i raped their mother, that's "nonsense"? am i supposed to just hide away so i don't get pointed at in the street? where's the line, anati? you're so cute when you're angry. get me their address. -give me a kiss. get me their address. excuse me. room 106? second door on the right. -would you mind keeping an eye on my bag? no one here will touch it. do you mind, just in case?

no, but he goes to burr, where my brother goes. -aaron burr high, pretty rough place. that's where all the kids go, except the ones that got into that new school. this girl, do you know her name? jolie. -she goes to burr, too. she's always at the library at sunrise. yes, i've heard about the murder. everyone's talking about it. well, anybody talking about who did it? -most of these kids worship at the church of "don't snitch." has word gotten out about the reward? yeah. 25,000? keep that where i can't see it or lose it, kalani. you know you shouldn't even have it at school. -you know what kind of reward was offered when one of my sophomores ran into some gang crossfire last fall? zero. nobody cares about the ones left behind. -edison, did you find jolie henderson for me? oh, yeah, she's in there. this way. jolie. jolie henderson, officers lupo and bernard. -uh, hi. do you know why we're here? about that sunrise kid who got killed? yeah, we heard you knew him. enough to say hi. -i saw him at their library a lot. it's a lot nicer than ours. no offense, ms. woodside. you were there last night? -yeah, i saw him, but we didn't talk. you have any idea where he went when he left? home, i guess. i don't know. we heard a boyfriend of yours -had words with cesar a while back. who, jay? jay is not my boyfriend. he thought he was my boyfriend. is he jealous? -possessive? stupid. he saw me with cesar one night, just standing there doing nothing. he wants to trip. -i set him straight the next day. i was not his to trip over. i got class. can i go? yeah, what's this jay's last name? -spivey. thank you. maybe we should talk to jay spivey while we're here. all right. edison, can you tell me where jason spivey is right now? -not here, marked absent today. only place i've been the past three days is this couch and that bathroom. you're sure about that? i got the swine flu. -you don't believe me, you can hit up my doc. we may do that. i mean, i don't go around firing people up anyway. you know? i mean, i didn't like cesar, -but damn, what those kids did to him was sick. you know, hitting him with a stick when he's already flaming up? how did you know about that? hmm? -you got a magical view of 115th street from your couch? i heard some kids talking. they came here to keep me company. they said that they saw a video going around of what happened to cesar, -and they saw it on somebody's cell phone. could i get that remote right there, man? jay spivey's friends aren't sure whose cell phone they saw it on. they said it was being mms'd from one phone to another. -man, when i was a kid, we would trade dirty magazines, not snuff films. well, any sign of that video online? well, not on any of the major sites. might not have been uploaded yet. -just floating around on a bunch of phones. well, there's a rule against having cell phones in school. in theory, but at aaron burr if the kids keep them out of sight, they don't enforce it. well, they should. -separating a bunch of kids from their cell phones, we're gonna need reinforcements. hey, what are you doing? taking your cell phone, you'll get it back later. since when has that been a rule? -maybe if you learn how to read, you can look it up. yeah? maybe you need to learn some lesson yourself. aren't you going to be late for class? i think this is enough. -we found it on three of the phones. the quality leaves something to be desired. all right. tell me when you're ready. we're ready. -stay on the ground! this apparently originated on the victim's phone. they got it away from him and started shooting. can you do any better on the faces? we already took a shot at enhancing. -boy, if it was just a little lighter. aahh! help me! help me! help me! -help me! help me! be careful what you wish for. can you stop it? that sweatshirt. -zoom in. a.b.h.s. pep... pep band. that old school spirit. all right. -keep going. but slow. whoa, whoa, whoa, here. dude looks like a lady. she doesn't want any part of this. -she knows him. maybe we know her, too. i checked at the office, jolie's not in the band. 15, 20 girls. which one do you figure -wore the sweatshirt to the murder? you take woodwinds, i'll take brass. what about percussion? snare drum, front row. looks like the brother of the boy cesar was tutoring. -wonder what happened to his sweatshirt. hey, moses' brother? yeah? hey. how are y'all doing? -all right. maybe you could help us out. any of the girls in the band have a beef with cesar ramirez? or hang with someone who did? -nah, probably most of them didn't even know him. i only knew him through moses. you stayed home from school the day after he was killed, just like your brother moses did because he was so upset. -were you upset, too? i was keeping moses company. bucking him up. i'm his big brother, you know. sure. -big game tonight? morningside. we don't have a chance. you give up on team spirit? you're not wearing your sweatshirt. -i lost it last week. 30 bucks for a new one, you believe that? you're sure you didn't give it to someone? maybe a girlfriend. i just told you i lost it. -what are you getting at? just trying to rule something out. where were you last tuesday night, when cesar got killed? here! after -school volunteer. -you can check with the office if you don't believe me. what do you think? that i'm still a dead-eye, with my half-court shot. all right! got some skills! -abel dolan, yeah. edison, can you give me that sign-in sheet, please, for the after-school? uh... tuesday, right? -yeah. mm-hmm. yeah, here. edison and abel. they were painting over some graffiti. -i know. i was here late, myself. they did good work. the taggers did good work. had this place looking tight. -would you get me a seat at the game? sure. all right. they're good kids, they just don't know it. did you catch abel on the snare drum? -he's really coming along. yeah. those four guys, they didn't do the graffiti. but you had them clean it up. yeah, campus beautification. -i try to get them to feel a sense of pride for their school. so every student gives at least one night a semester. even students that don't go here. check this out. -cesar ramirez. he signed in on the 21st, also the 11th, and the 6th. but look who else signed up on those nights. jolie henderson. yeah. -who said she barely knew him. do you have her address? yeah, jolie henderson. uh, 115th street, looks like just west of madison. uh, and the murder occurred on 115th street, just east of madison. -yeah, between her place, and cesar's school. wait, do you think jolie could have been there that night? can we get her exact address, please? thank you. he didn't walk me home. -i don't know where he went, i told you. did he ever walk you home? nah, it wasn't like that. so every time you stayed after school, he just happened to show up? -to wash windows. i didn't even always see him. i bet he didn't wash windows for just any girl. he had a nice smile. i didn't know him, i gotta go. -the reward just drew a tip. someone saw edison treadwell with cesar's cell phone after the murder. edison, the principal's helper. yeah, who was doing campus beautification with abel dolan -at the time of the murder. or was he? you know, i'm beginning to take this personally. you're fishing again. at my school, my kids. -that poor kid, he didn't even go to school here. have you checked at the sunrise academy or are they too busy to see you? simple question. are you sure edison treadwell was here -the night cesar was murdered? simple answer, yes. we have a tipster that says otherwise. well, you have a tipster that wants to make $25,000 or mess with edison. -these kids do have enemies, you know? if you don't mind, can i please get back to the game? 'cause we're finally winning. this is something we've been listening to. it's a call to the reward tip line -about the murder of cesar. we thought you should hear it, too. hi, um, i think i know something about cesar ramirez, the kid who got burned. okay, what do you know? -i saw this guy i know messing with cesar's cell phone yesterday. i know it's cesar's because i saw cesar with it. his name's edison treadwell. is that good enough for the money? -we really need the money. that's you. isn't it, moses? nah, that ain't me. child! -it isn't. it's one thing you wanna lie to these cops, but you're gonna sit there and lie to me? you think i don't know your voice? all the talking you do? -look at me when i'm talking to you. okay, it's me. but it's not true about edison. so you didn't see edison with cesar's phone. no... -i lied. i wanted my mom to have the money. she works too hard. and i never see her. plus, we need the money. -don't we, mama? and moses wept. wasn't that jesus? yeah, him too. so what do you think, -was the boy lying when he made the call, or when he talked to you? i vote for number two. he saw edison with cesar's phone and made his call. -but by the time we got there, his brother got to him. his brother, the one with the missing sweatshirt who's on the alibi list at the high school. yeah, if that list was doctored, -it could be the list of the murderers. edison and abel and two of their friends. and a high school principal is covering for them. well, she's covering for her school. it's one of the worst in the city. -it's on the shortlist for being taken over by the state, while the sunrise academy is everybody's darling. so she lies for her students when they beat up students from sunrise academy and burn them alive? well, that girl would know. -jolie henderson. i think cesar was walking her home when he ran into trouble. maybe some kids from burr who didn't like seeing a charter school kid with one of their girls. i say we go talk to her again. -van buren. all right, i got it. where is she? okay, thanks. i'll go talk to jolie. -she's been raped. hello, jolie. my name is lieutenant van buren. i work with detectives lupo and bernard. are they taking good care of you here? -you know, the detective from special victims unit says that you don't want to talk. she said there was more than one boy. and we will catch them, all of them, i promise you. i just need you to talk to me. -jolie. did it happen because of cesar? because they don't want you to talk about that? i didn't see them. i don't know anything. -just... just leave me alone. it was a gang rape. a witness saw three boys running away. this witness happen to see which three boys? -no. too dark. and there's no dna. the rapists wore condoms. they planned it. -we think it was some of the boys who attacked cesar ramirez. that jolie was there when it happened, and they were afraid that she might talk. these boys, they all have an alibi -for the time of the murder? the only one who doesn't is jolie. have you searched her apartment? no probable cause. if you can sell your theory -that the gang rape was committed to silence an accomplice, which makes her an accomplice... probable cause. we use what happened to her to back our way into a warrant? -well, damn lucky for us she was gang raped. nobody's saying that. just get the warrant. why are you looking here? nothing happened here. -my daughter was violated. why aren't you finding the animals who did that? we're trying to do that, mr. henderson, but your daughter isn't able to help us right now. -what are you looking for here? ma'am. is this your daughter's? no. i don't think so. -there's a tear in the shoulder. and this. looks singed. yeah. help me! -help me! help me... there. he brushes against her left sleeve, exactly where the sweatshirt we found has burn marks. -so jolie was there. or the sweatshirt was. theoretically, jolie could have been hiding it for a girl who wore it that night. come on, we know what happened. -yeah, but we still can't prove it. we could always arrest jolie for murder. that might persuade her to talk. under the circumstances, mike, that's not exactly my favorite way to go. -well, i'm open to other ideas. moses dolan. you know, the kid cesar was tutoring. he called in a tip and then retracted it. somebody pressured him. -maybe we can pressure him back. he's studying. you can't talk to him unless i say so, and i don't say so. well, we'll only be a few minutes. -he already told the police he made it up about that phone. he's sorry, and that's that. mrs. dolan, mrs. dolan, mrs. -dol... maybe you can help us, uh... you ever seen this sweatshirt? a lot of kids have those. we thought it might be abel's. -it has a rip in the shoulder there. i mean, he's a big guy, maybe he burst a seam? now you're asking about abel? you think he's mixed up with this? we don't know, ms. -dolan. well, i do. he's a good boy. he's gonna go to college. to be a businessman. -sometimes parents don't know their children as well as they'd hoped to. last year, he failed a course he needs to graduate, but he would not give up. he's taking it over in night school. -every tuesday, and thursday night. every tuesday night, including last tuesday? he never misses. at a community center up in mott haven. 7:00 to 9:00. -so abel dolan couldn't have murdered cesar on tuesday night, because he was busy beautifying aaron burr high school, and he was at a night school class in mott haven. well, maybe he has an evil twin. two alibis. -it's an embarrassment of riches. well, if he was at night school, that means he wasn't at aaron burr. maybe the other boys weren't either. we could use one alibi to break the other. -abel seemed like a good kid to me, but he doesn't come anymore. he dropped the class last month. it's a required course. did he give up on graduating? -no. he told me that he didn't need to take it over after all. that he had just found out that he'd passed the first time. what, he thought he had failed, -but he'd actually passed? did he read the letter grade wrong? no, he did fail. but there are circumstances where a failing grade can be changed to passing. -what were the circumstances in abel's case? i don't know. was the change warranted? not based on anything i saw. who can make these retroactive changes? -his principal, ms. woodside. here. it's abel dolan's grade report from last spring. english iii..."f." -but then, it's marked c.r. for credit recovery. that means he passed. was any reason given? yeah. home instruction. -we met abel's mother. i don't think so. and check out edison treadwell's transcript. fails sophomore math, makes it up in summer school, and then gets credit for passing it, twice. -courtesy of principal woodside again. all four boys she's giving an alibi to have benefited from altered transcripts. not to mention dozens of other students at that school, maybe even hundreds. -if abel and his friends knew what woodside was doing, maybe they asked for a little favor in exchange for keeping their mouths shut. giving them a bogus alibi? you think she'd cop to that? -let's ask her nicely. if that doesn't work... one of my students was just brutally raped, and you are harassing me about a year-old transcript. not just one. -you've been manipulating grades, test scores, and graduation rates to make this school look better than it is. i can support any adjustment i've made by the letter, or spirit, of sound educational policies. -do you think the mayor would agree? or the department of education? they'd split this school into six charter schools and make you assistant principal of some middle school in staten island. -with all due respect, you really don't know what you're talking about. all we want to know is the night abel dolan and his friends were painting over the graffiti, -are you sure you can vouch they were here the whole time? yes. i'm sure. now, if you'll excuse me. -well, actually, we won't excuse you. detectives? martha woodside, you are under arrest. what for? grand larceny. -grand larceny? what did she steal? well, how about a decent education for her students? their integrity. their potential. -i don't think there's a law against stealing potential. so we'll make the one we have fit. look, we need some leverage over this woman to make her tell us what happened the night of the murder. -if this gets kicked to the department of education, it'll disappear into a bureaucratic maze for 20 years. so we won't let that happen. your honor, this is a matter -for review by the department of education, not a criminal prosecution. the grand larceny statute was concerned with theft of property. the people don't even allege my client stole any property. -more than $2 million of educational funds were funneled to her school on the basis of performance records that were effectively forged... by ms. -woodside. that money didn't go into her pocket. it went to the benefit of the students. who, if mr. cutter is correct, -needed that extra help it bought even more than anyone suspected. a $10,000 performance bonus ms. woodside received did go into her pocket. -that was for improving her school's graduation rates from 32% to 57%, a remarkable achievement. it's not quite so remarkable if it's based on bogus course credits. excuse me, but these people -don't know anything about running a high school. ms. woodside... no, it's just some kind of tactic to try to get me to help them scapegoat some of my students for a murder and a rape -that they can't be bothered to actually solve. ms. woodside, let your lawyer do the talking. okay? your honor, this is simply the wrong forum. i refer you to section 3020 of education law -and its provision for hearing boards. those boards are notoriously lethargic and inefficient, your honor. i believe some people would say the same thing about us. i am dismissing the grand larceny charge, -pending a review and resolution of the matter under the education law. nice try, mr. cutter. she said we were after her students for murder and rape, -but we never told her we suspected them in the rape. maybe she did. saw that principal flunked you again. she won't give it up. she's sticking to her alibi for our suspects. -it doesn't even make sense anymore. if they were blackmailing her by threatening to go public with her grade tampering, we've done that now. i mean, the department of education's investigating. -so... what's she protecting? her ego? maybe her conscience. she said her students were rape suspects -during the motion hearing. but detectives lupo and bernard never told her that. but they were in her office when they realized that jolie henderson had lied to them. they asked woodside for jolie's address -so they could talk to her. a few hours later, she was raped. you think the principal tipped the murderers to rape the girl to keep her quiet? no, not necessarily meaning to. -i mean, if she believed those boys were innocent and she told them, you know, "good news. the police have found a witness who can clear you..." she didn't realize what she was doing. but now she does. -and she feels guilty. or she's afraid she's criminally liable. either way, she doesn't want to talk. nobody wants to talk. the rape victim is still scared silent... -maybe you've been asking them both too nicely. convene a grand jury. i remind you that you are under oath, and there are criminal penalties for perjury. i understand. -then please tell us of any conversations you had with your students concerning the murder of cesar ramirez. i had many conversations, because i opened my door for anyone who wanted to talk about it. who needed reassurance. -did abel dolan need reassurance? or edison treadwell, or marvin coyne, or andy mews? not that i recall. uh, nothing stands out. -do you recall altering the transcripts for those four boys to give them better grades? well, i'm constantly adjusting transcripts for a variety of reasons. that's part of my job. -and those constant adjustments of yours are currently under investigation by the schools department, aren't they? i expect to be fully exonerated. so did any of those boys, -all of whom benefited from your grade adjustments, come to you after the murder of cesar ramirez, and ask you to give them a false alibi? no. so they didn't threaten to go public -with your grade manipulations? we don't threaten one another at aaron burr high school. we're all working together in a very difficult situation. -our students have been labeled losers, and they know it. right, and they get blamed for things, don't they? for anything bad that happens in the neighborhood. yeah, all the time. -so when cesar ramirez was burned to death, the police automatically assumed that some of your students did it. as usual. so did some of your students come to you and say -they were being scapegoated again, as usual, and ask you to get the police off their backs by giving them an alibi? i don't need to lie for my students. is that a yes or a no? -it's a no. did you tell those boys that the police had identified jolie henderson as a potential witness to the murder, and that they were going to talk to her? oh... -here we go. first, they're murderers, and now they're rapists. what are you going to accuse them of next? i think you would defend them, whatever i accused them of. -because i trust them when no one else does? because i work with them when no one else wants to. charter schools, magnet schools. they take all our best students, and then we're blamed for having the worst. -kids from poverty, from broken families. a hundred years of neglect. and we have to get them ready for college with just a few hours a day. some charter school -that gets $20 million from bill gates, and they get a few students into dartmouth, it makes front page news. you want to know what the real success stories are? when a student from aaron burr -who couldn't even read in the 9th grade, manages to graduate, and get a job at an auto parts store instead of becoming a drug dealer. that's a success story, our success story. -but no one cares. no one wants to hear about it. jolie? we're ready. this isn't right. -one of us should be able to go in there with her. it's not allowed, sir. why are you people doing this? jolie? ms. woodside? -how are you? i'm gonna be okay, ms. woodside. i'm gonna be back in class. i won't let you down. -i can't believe you're dragging her in there after what she's been through. it was dark. and... i closed my eyes, -and somebody knocked me down. and somebody else got on top of me, and... before you closed your eyes, jolie, you must have seen something. did you hear anything? -were they the same boys who attacked cesar ramirez? i don't know who did that to cesar. weren't you with him when it happened? no. but you were friends with him, weren't you? -a little. i mostly saw him at the library when he was tutoring moses. well, you must have talked to him there. otherwise how would you know moses' name? -i know moses' brother from school. abel dolan. how well do you know him? we're in the same grade. did you ever go out with him? -we hung out some. was he jealous of you and cesar? no. not abel. so it wouldn't have bothered him -to see you walking home with cesar. he wasn't that into me. he had tickets to see a jay concert at the garden on my birthday. and he took his brother instead. -moses. abel's all about being the big brother. moses was supposed to go to cesar's house for dinner once, and abel said no. he didn't even like moses going to the tutoring. -he said moses should just go to aaron burr. like us. abel was a loser kid from a loser school. he saw moses going another way, studying hard to get into the charter school, -being mentored by a smart kid there, getting invited to the smart kid's house. so maybe abel wasn't jealous over jolie, he was jealous over moses. yeah, i mean, he was losing his little brother. -maybe that's what sparked it. well, if abel feels that strongly about his brother, there might be a way to appeal to him. you think abel's gonna listen to anything we have to say? -probably not, but we know someone he trusts. so, what, did the grand jury indict him, or you arrested him? no, the grand jury is in recess, but we think we have a shot at getting a confession. -why would he confess? because he's guilty. this is your opportunity to tell us the truth. it's all right. he can't see you. -what do you want from me? come on, man. only three boys raped jolie, abel. we don't think you were one of them. then why is he here? -we do think he was one of the boys that attacked cesar ramirez. you saw him walking with jolie, didn't you? you and your friends. he was wearing his foolish little charter school uniform, -the same uniform that your brother wants to wear because he wants to be like cesar, not like you. did you say something to cesar about that? did he smartmouth back to you? -you're making all that up. abel, you don't need to respond to this. your little brother was telling the truth when he called about the reward, wasn't he? leave my brother out of this. -he didn't even know what he was talking about. what are you saying, your brother is stupid? he's not stupid! and i'm not stupid either. abel, stop now. -if he's not under arrest, we're leaving. give us a minute. funny, he didn't mention that alibi you gave him this time. you stop talking about that. -one of those boys is gonna break. they always do. it's just best all around if it's abel. why? there's a $25,000 reward on the table. -so? abel's brother claimed that reward and then changed his story. if he could get that money for his college fund, one good thing would come out of this. -now abel might see things that way if we can get someone to talk some sense to him. why don't you consider that he's innocent? they're all innocent. wh... -maybe you're wrong. tell him not to confess if he's innocent. tell him to do whatever's right. me? you care about those kids, all of them. -we've seen that. just talk to him. hey, abel. ms. woodside? who is she? -my principal. how do you do? how are you doing, man? good, good. all right? -all right. we have to be sure everything we're saying is totally the truth, you know? i don't know, ms. woodside. -yeah. yeah, i was thinking, too, how many times you start out thinking you're doing just the right thing, and then, uh, i don't know. -you end up doing something else completely. sort of lose your way, lose perspective. maybe we should have this conversation somewhere else? actually, i think -we're in exactly the right place. what about you, abel? what's going on in there? can somebody tell me what's going on? principal woodside is just talking to your son. -no police in there? no police. would you like a cup of coffee? we can get you something. ms. dolan, would you send moses in here for a moment? -ms. woodside. oh... what is going on in there? i'm sorry, mrs. dolan. -i'm really sorry. go ahead, son. do it. i know who killed cesar. what are you talking about, moses? -abel told me, mom. he told me to tell them. tell them what? what is happening here? he did it. -him and his friends. they did it. he told me. oh, no, no, no, no, no! no, no, no, no, no! -no, don't take him. no, abel! no, abel! don't take him from me, please! abel! -abel, don't... no, abel, please! so moses gets the reward. he gave us his brother, and his brother gave us the rest. abel and his friends ran into cesar with jolie. -they already hated the kids from the charter schools, and some of the boys were jealous over jolie. abel was upset over moses. and cesar made the mistake of being a smart guy. and trying to impress the girl. -bad mistake. well, with abel talking, jolie will too. it's all over. we're negotiating pleas for both the murder and the rape. -what about the principal? riding a desk in schools administration until they figure out what to do with her. you could prosecute her for lying to the grand jury. well, she... -she helped us in the end. is that enough extra credit to make up for an "f"? now you're grading like she did. shit! -justin! justin! justin! i got to go! some say i don't play well with others. -i was a damn good detective in chicago until a disagreement with my boss encouraged me to pack it up and make a change. so i put the windy cd in my rear view and headed to the sunshine state. kick back, play some golf, work on my tan... maybe ride to catch a speeding ticket. yeah, well, that didn't work out. -damn it, jim. pick up. jim: hey, you've reached jim longworth. i'm either out seeking justice or trying to break 80. -leave me a message. now he's calling me. don't answer it. hello? carlos, he with you? -i'm not here. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. he's right here. oh, you must have heard. i'm four over at the turn. -birdied 3, 7, and 10 with a lip out at 11. yeah, that's great, but we got a situation. yeah, we do. i'm 4 holes away from breaking 80 for the first time in my life. a woman's body was found in fisheating creek. -well, she's not gonna be any deader an hour from now. man: hey, come on! and there's this tag or message... whatever... popping up all over town. i think it might be related. -who found the body? underaged kid and her boyfriend. fell asleep in the swamp last night. how underaged are we talking? i don't know. -16, 17. well, what was she doing out there? she doing the guy? i didn't ask her that. what the hell did you ask? -nothing. i'm still trying to find her parents. listen, stick her in a room, don't let her talk to anyone. i want a clean shot at her before her parents shut her up. jim... -call your wife. open your office. it's sunday. my office is closed. yeah, i just opened it. -uh, excuse me. yeah, uh, see this ball? this ball is part of a murder investigation. anybody messes with this ball, you go to jail. perdón por mi amigo, ¿eh? -pero si alguien toca la hola... ay, que no la toca, ¿okay? gracias. what's wrong with you? no scar tissue, no water in her lungs. -nothing in her stomach. her identity and cause of death inconclusive without the head. you might want to give that a minute. aah! damn it. -you want to, uh, look at the body? nope. she's dead. i want to talk to the girl. any word from the parents? -her mom's m.i.a. apparently not unusual for the weekend, especially with her husband on a poker run in the keys. any of these geniuses got a record? law-abiding, far as we know. where's the boy? -local kid. justin... brussard. 22. i sent him home. -why? he vomited all over my keyboard giving his statement. i got a call into the girl's folks. she's 16. you can't talk to her without a parent or guardian. -jim longworth. you're a cop? lieutenant. oh! uh, you need anything? -you want something to eat? something to drink? would you feel more comfortable if we waited till we located one of your parents? my parents? good luck with that. -so you're okay talking to me, then? oh, we sent your whatever he is... boyfriend or whatever... home. he puked all over my partner's keyboard. he drinks too much. -did he have sex with you? no. and what's this got to do with the woman without the head? i don't know yet. he said you guys got out there a little after 10:00 and stayed out there all night. -did you hear or see anything? you mean related to the woman? yeah. did you hear or see anything that might help us identify who she was? like the person or persons who might have dumped her there. -maybe she died there. well, maybe. we don't think so. well, what do you think happened? i think she was killed somewhere else and then dumped there so an alligator could destroy the evidence. -i didn't hear anything. hmm. what about this spot? anything special about this spot for you two? no. -no special meaning? no. just a place to go. a place for other people, maybe? like young people... to party, get drunk... -try sex? so it's kind of a dumb place to dump a body, right? if someone knew that. how do you know she didn't, like, float there from upriver or something? doesn't figure that way, forensically. -are you like a forensics expert? i'm an expert in all things homicidal, erin. there isn't much about murder i don't know... or can't figure out... if i just keep asking the right questions. -oh! son of a bitch! oh! jim: is this absolutely necessary? -callie: you want to die of infection? he looked pretty hygienic to me. everyone looks hygienic till the blood work comes back. either that's an exit wound or all the surgeons in chicago are drunks. -my captain shot me. on purpose? he thought i slept with his wife. i didn't. but i was the only one in the department that didn't. -good boy. it feels like it's gonna hurt like hell later on. well, i can give you something for the pain, but a six pack of beer will do the same trick. and then if i give you something for the pain and later on you want that six pack, it's not good. callie, is it? -oh. yeah. how long am i gonna have to wear this thing? why? you in some kind of hurry? -i have a titleist with a perfect lie sitting on the 14th fairway at belleair, waiting for me to break 80 for the first time in my life. well, with that swing, i'm not surprised. sign, date, and initial where indicated. what am i signing? you're releasing the medical center from liability should you lose your hand or die from infection due to my incompetence. -i'm not signing this. you will if you want your pants back. that thing working? no. you lose your uniform again? -i'm just saying hit the gym once in a while, every little thing won't throw your back out. yeah, we could be workout partners. spend even more time together. i got missing-persons files from orlando, ocala, tampa, miami. nothing promising so far. -still waiting on jacksonville, naples. naples? that's like old people. she wasn't that old. maybe she was visiting relatives. -dressed like that? i don't think so. what's wrong with the way she was dressed? someone she was visiting would have called it in if she was missing, don't you think? we may not have her head, compadre, but we still have ours. -carlos: the club manager called. he's getting complaints that you've cordoned off an area around your ball on the 14th fairway. i want to finish the round. it's gonna be weeks before you can swing a club, man. -go pick up your ball. i'm getting medical treatment. i'll be fine by the end of the week. esophageal abrasions? what's that... -like heartburn? what causes that? acid reflux. spicy foods. you. -how spicy? spicy. habanero spicy. what's that test called again? what test? -barnuclear or something. barnucleous? yeah, that's what i said. a skin graft to determine race. yeah, that one. -she's white. and tan. any way to determine if the tan is natural or... or the result of a tanning booth? no. both are caused from exposure to uv rays. -exposed evenly like from a tanning bed or mottled, like a native? fine. i'll do a barnucleous. did you find out if she had any kids? pelvic density suggests not. -but you'll do a test to determine anyway. hey, if she's anything like my mom, she and my sister talk five times a day, and they hate each other. whatever the hell that means. it means.. i need a female perspective. -hey. thanks. hey. i was hoping i'd catch you. already not sure how i feel about that. -i just wanted to run something by you. yeah, i just came by to get my check, and now i'm gonna go. see, i have this theory. well, two theories, actually. now i need someone like yourself to just walk it through with me. -don't you have co-workers for things like that? i do. yeah, lots of co-workers. and a partner, i guess. i mean, technically speaking. -he heads up the local highway patrol. actually really like this song, which is kind of weird. anyway, yeah, he's a nice guy. great wife. they have me over for dinner every sunday. -but he's not a very good cop. he's also not a healthcare professional. or a woman. i need a woman's perspective. who's a healthcare professional. -right. yeah. look, i really can't do this right now. ooh, is that for you? hey, is that your car? -that looks like a, what, sorento? that's nice. nice and shiny. who's that waiting for you in the car? that's my husband. -your husband is 12? all right, he's my son. he looks annoyed. so there's a husband somewhere. somewhere. -maybe a drink, later, which sounds a lot like a date, but it's not. later i have to feed my son and get on him about his homework. after that. after that, i go to bed. breakfast. -my treat. anywhere you want. okay. i'll feed my son and at least get him pretending to be doing his homework. you can come by around 8:00. -i'll give you 30 minutes. 8:00. yeah, 30 minutes. pretending to do his homework. you got a minute for some questions? -can't. got to set up. actually, uh, now is what i meant. i already gave the other guy my statement. mixed in with chunks of whatever you had for dinner last night. -i thought i'd do a little follow-up now that you're presumably less hammered. look, i didn't have anything to do with that lady getting killed. well, i don't know that. why would i tell you she was out there if i had something to do with it? i don't know. -you're a moron? i already know you're not very bright. it's not murder, but rape will still get you eight years in prison, and you brought that to our attention. rape? i didn't rape anybody. -the presumption is a 16-year-old isn't emotionally capable of consenting to a sexual encounter, so legally, the presumption is a clear "no" across the board. and having sex with someone who says no is rape. the legal age is 16. she looked it up. went online or something. -she lied to you about that. which i'm assuming you believed because it sced up better with your immediate needs. any reason you can think of why she lied to you about that? like maybe it was her first time? that's hilarious. -she indicated to me that it was. maybe she indicated that to you to mess with you. what does any of this have to do with the woman without the head? what is it with everyone and that question? it's how a police investigation works. -it's what we do. we ask questions. sometimes direct, sometimes indirect. it doesn't matter if they make sense to you. half the time they don't make sense to me. -well, i know she's lying about that because i know for a fact the guy she did before me. how do you know he's not lying? because he was my brother. was? is your brother dead? -yeah, he is dead. got clipped on his motorcycle by a tourist on state road 301. interlake and 301. they put that light up. put the light up right after it happened, like some frigging reminder to me, so every time i drive by, -i get to remember how he got mangled by some previa-driving asshole from frigging maine. well, at least you've worked through it. i'm gonna need to ask you a few more questions, so don't leave town without checking with me first. why? i'm pretty sure we just covered that. -i'll get over there right now. oh, mr. ripley. yes? there's a miss nancy ashton waiting in the conference. nancy ashton? -yes, she asked to see an agent. i see. all right, thank you. miss ashton? i'm john ripley. -how do you do, mr. ripley? won't you sit down? well, now what can i do for you? i oh, i really- -really, i shouldn't be taking up your time. i have a very dear friend who's in trouble. thank you. oh, would you like one? no, thank you. -n\ i told my friend that i would do whatever i could to help, and i said i was coming down here to f.b.l. to... ask some questions. i hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience for you. i can't be too specific. suppose you tell me what you can. -well, she's gotten involved with a man, and he's not- he's a pretty terrible man really. he's caused her a lot of trouble. and i told her if she came down here and talked with you people- well, i mean- -would she be prosecuted for something she couldn't help? what kind of a crime, miss ashton? it's a serious one. embezzlement? extortion? -blackmail? we're an investigative agency only, miss ashton. we turn our facts over to the united states attorney. it's for him to decide. you mean... you couldn't- make a deal? -no, miss ashton, we don't make deals. no promises. but i would suggest, if your friend really wants to make a break with this man, she do it now before she becomes more involved. if she has committed a crime, she'll be prosecuted, of course. but then thejury will take into consideration any mitigating circumstances. -thank you. you've been very kind, mr. ripley. i'll tell my friend. i'd like to buy you a drink some evening. i'll survive if you say no. -no, i'm very flattered. mm. but you're a very busy man and you don't have much time. i understand. good-bye. -good-bye, miss ashton. this little chick comes on like a registered nurse. we get about a block away from the house, and whammo! penny, i almost didn't get to work. -wow, what a miserable night. you don't believe this baby-sitter. i mean, you don't believe her. hi, kelly. morning. -you look a little ragged around the edges. i didn't get much sleep last night. miss sherwood. yes, mr. burkhardt? would you please go into the conference room? -yes, of course. miss sherwood? my name's ripley. i'm the agent who spoke to you on the phone last night. oh, yes, i'm glad to see you. -why don't we sit down, hmm? is there something wrong? no. it'sjust that every time i speak to somebody on the phone, i get this sort of mental image of what they're supposed to look like. -usually i'm wrong. your case is no exception. i guess everybody does that. yeah, i guess they do. well, now about your problem. -yes. you know, i i just can't believe it. it's hard to adjust. i can't think. -well, i'd be surprised if you reacted any other way. you know, i didn't think he'd do anything violent. i mean, he scared the wits out of me. but for some reason, i didn't believe he was completely serious. and then he comes in the house and catches me phoning you. -now the first thing we need is a description of this man. i don't know what he looks like. i never saw him. that's going to make things a little difficult. but i'd certainly recognize his voice. -yeah, what else? well, there's something wrong with his breathing. what do you mean by that? well, it- it sounded like, um, like asthmatic breathing. -my sister, toby, had a mild asthmatic condition for about a year, and it sounded like that- sort of... labored and wheezing. what did he say? that he wanted me to steal a hundred thousand dollars from the bank. and that if i didn't, he'd kill me and my sister. -he said he'd killed twice before, and he wouldn't hesitate to do it again. he said that he's not the only one watching me, that he would know my every move. and- and that... if i contacted the police- did you drive your sister to school this morning? -yes. you tell her about this? no, but- you see, toby and i are very close, and she's a very intuitive young lady. she guessed something was wrong, and i'm afraid i didn't manage to carry it off very well. -she knows it's serious, or it could be. she doesn't know what it is. but i promised i'd tell her tonight. no. no, i don't think you'd better. -suppose you let me tell her. besides, i want to give her some instructions. all right. do do you think that it's-it's possible he- that he knows you're involved? -no, i doubt it. you see, we really can't tell until he tries to contact you. if he does try to contact you, then he doesn't know. and if he doesn't contact me? you will be well protected. -it's not going to be easy. no, it's not. as a matter of fact, it's going to get a lot tougher. he's going to work on you and your sister... until you just may decide to go along with him rather than us. no. -lfl do this thing, i'll do it all the way. you don't have to worry about anything like that. fine. butjust remember this. if he knows as much about you as he obviously does, and he has a very definite plan, he's probably very clever. -and he knows it's going to take a lot to make you steal $100,000. now, he may institute a reign of terror... that will make you agree to do almost anything. you mean he'll try. good morning. morning. -see you next week. miss sherwood. you have a phone call, a police lieutenant. a police lieutenant? he says it's important. -take it on your phone. this is miss sherwood. hello, miss sherwood. yes? you made a serious mistake, kelly. -you talked with the police. no. no, i didn't. shut up! what do you think, this is some kind of a game? -i'm going to teach you a lesson. i think toby would be interested in a man like me. oh, no! please, please. rat fink! -whoo! wow! i don't like you. you love me. oh, i hate you! -oh, come on. come on now. come on, dave. i love you too. come on. -come on. oh. are you ready for this hair? what's the matter with it? it's wet. -that's what's the matter with it. so what? so you haven't got any. it doesn't make any difference. i feel like a coke. -i'm broke. i'm not. crazy. "kelly, meet me at the roaring 20's tomorrow night, 11:00." why didn't hejust call her on the phone? -well, he wanted her to know how close he was to her sister. you know, if we just knew what we were looking for. tall? short? seventeen? -seventy? a lot of people around that swimming pool. any one of them could have left that note. well, i'll get this off. maybe they can identify the type, the paper, the ink, something. -i'll call bill varney over at the roaring 20's. f.b.l. one moment. yes? i've got a nancy ashton on the line. -all right, put her on. hello, mr. ripley? about that matter- my friend. it's important that i see you, but i can't come to the office. um, well, look, i'm quite busy right now. -do you mind if i send another agent? i'd prefer if it were you. and believe me, mr. ripley, it's important. it's just possible that... my friend's life is at stake. -all right. what's the address there? 2632 larkin. and please. come as soon as possible. -i can't help it. i'm frightened. be there in an hour. wonderful. oh- -don't be shocked. i work in my apartment, and i have a rather unusual occupation. i'm fairly well conditioned to shock, miss ashton. i'll see you in an hour. good-bye. -yes? this 11s r/jo/ey, m135 sherwood oh, yes, hello. we're just getting ready to go to bed. everything all right? -yeah, everything's fine. i just talked to our agents up at your neighbors'. now, you get a good night's sleep. don't worry. thank you. -good night. goodnight who was that? that was mr. ripley. oh. -he's pretty interesting. you think so, huh? well, don't you? yes, he is. uh, kel. -hmm? do you think this phantom asthmatic really means it? i mean, if you cross him, do you think he'll do something? yes, i think he really means it. but mr. ripley and his men aren't going to let anything happen. -well, what if they don't find out who the guy is? oh, they'll find out. the f.b.l.'s a very efficient organization. yeah, but in time, i mean. suppose you meet the guy tomorrow night, and he says, -"okay, kelly. tomorrow morning, you steal that hundred thousand dollars." i said the f.b.l.'s an efficient organization, not kelly sherwood. i just follow instructions and do what they tell me. just like you're going to do. -sure. that's why you can't forget for one minute. i mean, one mistake, one slip- hello? hello? -hello? who was it? i don't know. it was him. i don't know. -well, what did he say? he didn't say anything. wejust had a phone call. i guess you heard it. we 're going to bed now. -l/e/i' the porch i/ght on like you to/o' me. control, this is unit two. victim just checked in, going to bed. shejust got a call. might have been suspect. -otherwise, everything okay here. miss ashton. miss ashton? what kind of a place is this? she said she had an unusual occupation. -i guess she repairs or makes mannequins or something. well, look, old friend, if she decided to break the date, i think we'd better get the- there's nobody here. i think you're wrong. is that nancy ashton? -yes. then i'll call the bureau of inspectors. what's going on here? who are you? i happen to own this building. -who are you? captain moreno, please. f.b.l.? f-b-i. hello, frank. -this is owen bradley. i'm with ripley. listen, we've got a homicide for you. homicide? that's right. -i don't know. i i don't know. i was coming home and i saw the door was open... and the man was here and the other one on the phone, and i don't know. -all right, mr. cutter. you'd better go to your apartment and take it easy. yes. she was obviously strangled before she was hanged. dead about an hour. -that's all i can tell you right now. excuse me. there obviously wasn't any girlfriend. she was probably gonna tell me that tonight. she made up her mind too late. -this got anything to do with the sherwood case? no, i don't think so. why? just wondered. i got a call last night. -we've got an informant namedjim durgs. everybody calls him popcorn. i don't guess you can really call him a stool pigeon. he considers himself a newspaperman. circulates around the crumbjoints, picks up a little news here and there. -he'll sell it to us for five or 10 bucks. you mean he knows about the sherwood case? mm-hmm. and i just wondered, one thing right after the other, there might be some connection. rip? -this was in one of her purses. well, i was wrong. there is a connection. evening, captain. i've got a new partner. -this is mr. ripley. i'm glad to know you, mr. ripley. you're new, aren't you? nah, he's been at it quite a while. i hear you haven't been feeling too good. -oh. doctor says if i was a building, he'd condemn me. what have you got on the bankjob? oh, about 15 dollars' worth. all right. -well, i don't know who the guy is that's gonna pull thejob, but he's got a friend, and this friend uses a phone that i got staked out. where is the phone? i'd rather not say, sir. go on. the guy wanted his friend to do something. -i don't know what. and the friend asked if there's gonna be a killin', and the guy said there might be. near as i could get the name, the victim was sherwood. miss sherwood, the friend called her. and sure enough, he was going to do away with her. -not now, but later. how much later? it was all very vague, sir. this friend, what does he look like? oh, i just got a spot where i can listen. -i never see him. look, i want to know where that phone is. the captain and i- don't give me- the captain and i have an agreement. i just supply the information, not the source, right, captain? -that's the agreement. all right, if there is a killing, it's gonna to be right on your head. i know that, sir. yeah. you think you'll hear any more? -yeah, i think so. you be sure to call me? soon as i hear anything. thanks. nice meeting you, mr. ripley. -good night, gentlemen. think we ought to put a tail on him? he'd spot it. i've tried it before. he spots it every time. -a very unique character. has kind of a built-in radar. yeah. has his own peculiar set of rules. you play the game his way, or you don't play it at all. -and in this case, i think it would be better for miss sherwood if we kept the faith. yeah, i guess so. hello? did / wake you up? -yes. what do you want? i don't like the way you're talking, kelly. i'm giving you 20 % of a hundred thousand dollars. you can afford to talk a little nicer. -i'm not awake yet. that's better i'm calling to reconfirm our appointment tonight. 11:00. /'// be there. -i hope so. because if you're not, i'll just have to contact your little sister. you understand? now one word of warning. -we've got a woman's life in jeopardy tonight. we hope there won't be any shooting. but if there is, think before you make a move. i know these things move awfully fast sometimes, but we can't afford any mistakes. well, that's about it, except for the layout. -it's all yours, rip. all right, we're placing four men in the club. there'll be two on the upper floor, two on the lower floor. of course, we don't know if he'll contact you on the lower floor... or, perhaps, the upper floor. matter of fact, you might not even see him. -he may send somebody with instructions about the money, telling you to meet him somewhere else. but there's one thing you must remember now. if you do contact him, we will not move in and take him... until you're a safe distance away, okay? you know i had another phone call this morning? yes, i know. -do you think he really might try something with toby? well, you know, i'd like to say no, but there's no way of telling until we know the man. you know, i really believe he knows i've been talking to you. nah, he's just guessing. he took a calculated risk that you'd come to the police. -he figures if he says he does know, you might panic and you might admit it. that's all. i hope you're right. yeah. you know something? -i don't think it matters whether i'm right or wrong. this fellow figures that he's got a plan so clever... that it doesn't make any difference what you do. you know? damn! miss sherwood, -i wish there was something i could do to make things easy. you're doing everything you can. i'm just scared. please, just don't worry, huh? we'll be close by all the time. -and everything is going to be all right. yeah. j'; victim is parking car, gas station. subject's entering the club now. -j'; may i take your coat? oh, no, thank you. i'm just waiting for someone. j? -j'; j' when the saints go marching in j' j' lord, how i want to be in that number; j' when the saints go marching in j' j'; -j'; can i help you? oh, well, i'm supposed to meet someone. well, i think there's some room at the bar. well, is there a table? -no, i'm sorry. we're all filled up right now. oh, well, then i guess i'll wait at the bar. uh, just ginger ale, please. scotch. -the yellow convertible, please. hello. are you looking for someone? yes. well, i could be that someone. -well, are you? yes. come on. my car's parked just over there. can't we talk right here? -here? all right. it's a blue '59 ford. license number rcd022. where are we going? -we'll drive somewhere down by the ocean. what are you sitting way over there for? come on over here. well, come on. no! -what do you mean no? i thought this was supposed to be business. okay. if that's the way you want it. the way i want it? -look, what is it with you? you did call me? call you? honey, i don't know what gives with you, but i didn't call you. you mean this wasn't prearranged? -nobody told you to meet me? no. i just walked into that club, and... there you were. oh, my god! oh, there-there's been a mistake. -i was supposed to meet someone else. oh? please, let me out. someone else, huh? yes, i give you my word. -all right, honey. so you met me instead. what's the difference? come on. no! -look out! let me go! hold it! hold it! hello? -you dirty little double-crossing- now you shut up and listen to me. i didn't know that man. i never saw him before in my life. how was i supposed to know it wasn't you? -i've never seen you. he picked me up because i was standing around... looking like / wanted to be picked up. you're a lying little- why didn't you come out of your hole and get me? why did you let me stand around and- and-and get picked up like a prostitute? -i did exactly what you told me to do. i said i'd work with you and i will, but only if you keep your part of the bargain. i was nearly killed tonight! it wasn't m y fault. so now what do we do? -hello? hello? you know what i think, kelly? i think that man you met tonight was a cop. a cop? -that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? hello? oh, kel. you remember we recorded the phone conversations between the subject and the victim. we sent those tapes to washington, and they kept going through the backgrounds of wanted men... until they found one with an asthmatic history. -his name is garland lynch. has an alias of red lynch. we'll pass out i.o.'s to all of you. you'll note that he has convictions for statutory rape, forgery, criminal assault, armed robbery and murder. he's wanted now for the slaying of an oklahoma city bank teller- -bertha meyers, age 24, who was murdered in her apartment. since she was a bank teller, it might be reasonable to assume... that the subject was trying to force her to work with him... in a crime similar to the one he's attempting to perpetrate here. and when she refused, or something went wrong, he murdered her. washington reports garland humphrey lynch... is fond of movies, nightclubs, fishing, amusement parks, and he frequently establishes liaisons with women of oriental descent. we'll divide all these phases up between us... and cover every nightclub and movie theater and so on in the bay area. -j'; that's good food you have here. thank you, sir. did you ever see this man before? no, sir. -i don't recognize him. may i see the manager, please? certainly. now, you're not gonna find him in there. i wonder if you'd ask the others if they've seen this man? -i'll be glad to. good afternoon. father, my name is ripley. i'm with the f.b.l. i wonder if you could help us. -have you ever seen this man before? yes. i've seen him many times with one of my parishioners, lisa soong. miss soong? -yes? we're from the f.b.l. this is agent bradley, i'm ripley. come in, please. thank you. -please sit down. now, miss soong, i must ask that you to keep this visit of ours in the strictest of confidence. yes, of course. i understand you know a man by the name of red lynch. do wu? -no. perhaps you know him under a different name. no. we're looking for this man on a murder charge. he killed a woman just about your age. -she had a year-old baby. i want to talk to my lawyer. of course. he's a neighbor. he lives across the street. -we'll wait, if you don't mind. please do. benson? lisa. he's coming up. -now i'll prepare tea if i may leave the room. you're not involved in anything wrong, are you, lisa? no, benson. if you are, even innocently, i'd advise you not to talk. i am telling the truth. -then you must cooperate with these gentlemen. i'll take that. thank you. i'm sorry, i was terribly frightened. that's all right. -we understand. then you do now him? yes. then perhaps you can tell us where he lives, where we can find him. i don't know. -lisa. i don't. you'll just have to believe me. we dated a few times. that's all. -when was the last time you saw him? a week ago saturday. we had dinner and went to a movie. you haven't heard from him since? no. -sometimes i don't for a month or so. he's out of town a great deal. how did you first meet him? where? it was at the drugstore. -he used to come in, and we'd talk. he seemed all right, so i went out to dinner with him. that was about two years ago. you dated him only a few times in two years? that's right. -he tell you where he lived? no. he didn't even mention it? he never mentioned. miss soong, if your relationship with this man was as casual as you say, -i don't understand your apparent hostility. i've told you everything i know. thank you. you know, this man has killed three people, and he's going to go on killing until we find him. good night. -lisa, if you do know something you're not telling, you'll be guilty of being an accessory. i'll be talking with you. mm-hmm. all right, thanks, captain. i'll pass it on to rip. -chuck. i was just talking to moreno. yeah? they showed the subject's photograph to nancy's ashton's landlord. he recognized lynch. -said he'd seen him visiting nancy ashton on a couple of occasions. did he say anything else? no, he only saw him, never talked to him. didn't know who he was until he saw the photograph. you know, judging from this guy's women, he's quite an operator. -obviously, what has happened is he's involved nancy ashton in the sherwood case. she got frightened, and then he killed herjust like that. besides, he probably knows she tried to contact us. i'll make a bet miss soong tells him we been around. stupid woman. -how can she protect a man like that? will you tell me? well, she could be scared. you'll admit mr. lynch is a very capable fellow when it comes to scaring people. all right, so she's scared. -there's more to it than that. maybe the lady's in love. what are you talking about? in love? how can anybody be in love with a man that'sjust killed three women? -now he's threatening to do it again. if she is in love with him, she didn't know about him. now she knows. it's not easy being in love one minute... and the next find out the man's a murderer. it's a pretty big adjustment. -i'll make a bet with you. i'll bet she's not just in love with him, and i'll bet she's not just scared. subject just entered the kaiser foundation. hello, joey. hello. -where's your mother? she went to phone. i'll go see if i can find her. there's a phone in the visitors' room at the end of the hall. thank you. -joey, this is mr. ripley. hello, son. hello. joey was born without a hip socket, so we gave him one. other boys have ordinary, old-fashioned ones, butjoey's is brand-new plastic. -well, now isn't that something, huh?

uh, yes. yeah, i have a gun. -can i see it? oh, i can't. we're not supposed to show the gun, joey. it's loaded, and loaded guns are very dangerous. i know, but couldn't i just see it, please? -well, i don't suppose it'll do any harm to show you. okay? does your father come to see you, joey? i don't have a father. did you ever shoot anybody? -oh, no. how come? oh, never had any reason to. uh, who else comes to see you, joey? only uncle red. -do you know uncle red? yeah, i know him. mommy, he's a g-man! yes, i know, dear. he's got a gun and everything, but he's never shot anybody. -i have to talk with mr. ripley. then i'll be right back. now, it's late, and you've got to try and get some sleep. would you mind coming out to the hall? will you come back? -yes, i'll be back, son. you get some sleep now. okay. now you get out of here. i don't ever want to see you around my son again. -i'm sorry, but i have a job to do. ajob? what kind of a job when you have to sneak around... and interrogate a six-year-old child? look, i have to catch a man who's killed three women. that is not true. -it is true, and you know it. now, in order to catch red lynch, if i have to interrogatejoey, i'll do it anytime it's necessary. did you know he paid the bills? thousands and thousands of dollars. did you know that? -yes, red lynch, the man you said is a killer. why, i can't even begin to tell you the things he's done for my son. the kindness, the affection. he's like a father tojoey. come on, now- -no! you can go straight to hell. look, we can't let a murderer go loose just because he's been kind to your son. well, you'll get no help from me. all right. -but you think about this. if you don't help us find red lynch, somewhere, sometime, a woman is going to die because of you. now, how do you think yourjoey's gonna feel about that? i don't know who she was calling. she hung upjust as i got there. -why are you crying, mommy? it's nothing, dear. go to sleep. j'; j'.p -hello, kelly. i don't have much time. you take the money friday afternoon, put it in your purse and just walk out. go straight home, and i'll get in touch with you. is that clear? -and-and you'll call me as soon as i get home? i didn't say when. you just stay put. and don't get any ideas, or you'll regret it. excuse me. -do you feel all right? oh, sure. he knows this bank. knows she'd have access to this kind of money only on fridays... when the big commercial accounts bring their deposits in... so they won't be caught with a lot of cash over the weekend. does the bank ever examine purses? -what's the point? if somebody wanted to embezzle, he could find a way. miss sherwood. i was just telling mr. ripley, i was talking to the trustees, and they appreciate your cooperation in this matter. -and when it's over, they'll see you get a promotion. that'll be nice. now, about the money. i'd let her have it if i were handling the matter, but i'm not. and a hundred thousand! -if it got away from us- no. no, i wouldn't want that responsibility. could we make up a dummy package? yeah, we'll take care of that situation when we get to it. -look, i know you don't want to say it, but i know very well... he's going to keep me until he examines that money. and if it's fake- but even if it's real, he's not gonna let me go. well, that's not necessarily so. look, we've got 28 hours before the bank closes tomorrow. -in the meantime, we'll just wait for a break, huh? well, if there's nothing else you want me for? no. thank you very much. if there's anything, miss sherwood. -anything at all. thank you, mr. burkhardt. well, as i always say, you meet the strangest people in the ladies' room. yeah, i guess so. you'll have to brief me about tomorrow. -well, suppose we wait until tomorrow, hmm? do you think we have a chance? yes. now, i want you to do something for me. i want you to take toby swimming today after work. -if she wants to bring her boyfriend along, fine, that's all right. whatever you say. afternoon, mr. ripley. well, i'm glad you could make it. come here. -i want to show you something. all right. captain moreno says you might have a big story tonight. that's right. yes, sir. -he also said that you might not sell it to us. well, you do have a little competition. hmm. the newspapers, huh? well, i'd rather not say, sir. -there are certain ethics involved. you understand. yes. but you know something, popcorn? i've known a lot of newspapermen in my time- good ones, bad ones. -the good ones, they're the ones with ethics. yes, sir. i've yet to meet a good reporter whose only concern was getting a story... and keeping that source secret. well what else would he be concerned with? well, the people involved in the story, the effect that story might have on their lives. -oh. now, take a look over there, popcorn. see at the end of the pool, that girl in the green bathing suit? the attractive one. the one with the brown hair. -yes, sir. well, that's kelly sherwood. that girl with her, that's her younger sister, toby. and by this time saturday, kelly sherwood may be dead. -that is, if red lynch's plans work out. as a matter of fact, she might be dead before saturday... if the story gets to the newspapers and he figures that she's double-crossed him. and if he doesn't get her, he'll go after the sister. i just wanted you to see what they look like. that's all. -you're asking me to suppress a news story. i'm not asking you to do anything. f.b.l. one moment. yes?

-sure. sis? what? look, i thought we had a deal, huh? no secrets. -tell each other everything. i'll tell you all about it tonight. but i want you to promise me something. i don't want you to be by yourself at any time today, do you understand? sounds pretty serious. -it's not serious yet. but it could be unless you do exactly as i say. if dave gets you home before i get there, sit in the car and wait with him, okay? gee, sis-- i'm going to be late. -now, just trust me and do as i say. i'll explain it to you when i get home. all right. bye-bye. bye-bye. -put a surveillance on the sister at school. if he's threatening the older one, the younger one may be a lever. better keep it loose. yes. we can't risk having the subject spot us. -but tell the agents to keep watch for a counter-surveillance. he may be expecting something like this. what's the bank manager like? his name's burkhardt. he's reliable. -we've checked him out. all right. take him into our confidence when we get all the information. but no one else in the bank. i'll get over there right now. -mr. ripley. there's a miss nancy ashton waiting in the conference. nancy ashton? yes, she asked to see an agent. i see. -all right, thank you. miss ashton? i'm john ripley. how do you do, mr. ripley? won't you sit down? -well, now, what can i do for you? well, i really shouldn't be taking up your time but i have a very dear friend who's in trouble. thank you. would you like one? no, thank you. -i told my friend that i would do whatever i could to help and i said i was coming down here to fbi to ask some questions. i hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience for you. i can't be too specific. well, suppose you tell me what you can. well, she's gotten involved with a man and he's not-- -he's a pretty terrible man, really. he's caused her a lot of trouble. and i told her if she came down here and talked with you people.... well, i mean.... would she be prosecuted for something she couldn't help? -what kind of a crime, miss ashton? it's a serious one. embezzlement? extortion? blackmail? -we're an investigative agency only, miss ashton. we turn our facts over to the u.s. attorney. it's for him to decide. you mean, you couldn't--? make a deal? -no, miss ashton, we don't make deals. no promises. but i'd suggest if your friend wants to make a break with this man she do it now, before she becomes more involved. if she has committed a crime, she'll be prosecuted, of course. but the jury will take into consideration any mitigating circumstances. -thank you. you've been very kind, mr. ripley. i'll tell my friend. i'd like to buy you a drink some evening. i'll survive if you say no. -no, i'm very flattered. but you're a very busy man, and you don't have much time. i understand. goodbye. goodbye, miss ashton. -this little chick comes on like a registered nurse. you get a block away from the house, and- whammo! . i almost didn't get to work tonight. -wow, what a miserable night. you don't believe this baby-sitter. you don't believe her. hi, kelly. morning. -you look a little ragged around the edges. i didn't get much sleep. miss sherwood. yes, mr. burkhardt? would you please go into the conference room? -yes, of course. miss sherwood? my name's ripley. i'm the agent who spoke to you on the phone last night. i'm glad to see you. -well, why don't we sit down. is there something wrong? no. it's just that every time i speak to somebody on the phone i get a mental image of what they're supposed to look like. usually i'm wrong. -and your case is no exception. i guess everybody does that. yeah, i guess they do. well, now, about your problem.... you know, i just can't believe it. -it's hard to adjust. i can't think. well, i'd be surprised if you reacted any other way. i didn't think he'd do anything violent. he scared me. -but for some reason, i didn't believe he was completely serious. and then he comes in the house and catches me phoning you. all right, now the first thing we need is a description of this man. i don't know what he looks like. i never saw him. -that'll make things a little difficult. but i'd certainly recognize his voice. yeah, what else? there's something wrong with his breathing. what do you mean by that? -well.... it sounded like asthmatic breathing. my sister, toby, had a mild asthmatic condition for a year and it sounded like that, sort of labored and wheezing. what did he say? that he wanted me to steal $100,000 from the bank and that if i didn't he'd kill me and my sister. -that he killed twice before and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. he said that he's not the only one watching me. that he would know my every move. and that if i contacted the police.... did you drive your sister to school this morning? -you tell her about this? no, but-- you see, toby and i are very close, and she's a very intuitive young lady. she guessed something was wrong. i didn't manage to carry it off very well. -she knows it's serious or it could be. she doesn't know what it is, but i promised to tell her. i don't think you'd better. suppose you let me tell her. besides, i wanna give her some instructions. -all right. do you think that it's possible that he knows you're involved? no, i doubt it. you see, we really can't tell until he tries to contact you. if he does try to contact you, then he doesn't know. -and if he doesn't contact me? you will be well protected. it's not gonna be easy. no, it's not. as a matter of fact, it's gonna get a lot tougher. -he's gonna work on you and your sister until you just may decide to go along with him rather than us. if i do this, i'll do it all the way. don't worry about anything like that. fine. but just remember this: -if he knows as much about you as he obviously does and he has a very definite plan, he's probably very clever he knows it's going to take a lot to make you steal $100,000. he may institute a reign of terror that'll make you agree to do almost anything. you mean he'll try. good morning. morning. -see you next week. miss sherwood. you have a phone call, a police lieutenant. a police lieutenant? he says it's important. -take it on your phone. this is miss sherwood. hello, miss sherwood. you made a serious mistake, kelly. you talked with the police. -no. no, i didn't. shut up! . what do you think, this is some kind of a game? -i'm gonna teach you a lesson. i think toby'd be interested in a man like me. oh, no! . please, please. -rat fink! i don't like you. you love me. oh, i hate you! oh, come on. -come on out. come on, dave. are you ready for this hair? what's the matter with it? it's wet, that's what's the matter with it. -so what? so you haven't got any. it doesn't make any difference. i feel like a coke. i'm broke. -i'm not. crazy! "kelly, meet me at the roaring '20s tomorrow night, 11:00." why didn't he just call her on the phone? well, he wanted her to know how close he was to her sister. -you know, if we just knew what we were looking for. tall, short, 17,70.... a lot of people around that swimming pool. any one of them could have left that note. well, i'll get this off. -maybe they can identify the type, the paper, the ink, something. i'll call bill varney over at the roaring '20s. fbi. one moment. i've got a nancy ashton on the line. -all right, put her on. hello, mr. ripley? about that matter.... my friend? it's important that i see you, but i can't come to the office. -i'm quite busy right now. do you mind if i send another agent? i'd prefer if it were you. believe me, mr. ripley, it's important. it's just possible that my friend's life is at stake. -all right, what's the address there? 2632 larkin. and please... be there in an hour. wonderful. -don't be shocked. i work in my apartment, and i have a rather unusual occupation. i'm fairly well conditioned to shock, miss ashton. i'll see you in an hour. goodbye. -yes? this is ripley, miss sherwood. yes, hello. we're just getting ready to go to bed. everything all right? -yeah, everything's fine. i just talked to our agents up at your neighbors'. now, you get a good night's sleep. don't worry. thank you. -good night. good night. who was that? that was mr. ripley. he's pretty interesting. -you think so? well, don't you? yes, he is. kel.... do you think this phantom asthmatic really means it? -i mean, if you cross him, do you think he'll do something? yes, i think he really means it. but mr. ripley and his men won't let anything happen. what if they don't find out who the guy is? oh, they'll find out. -the fbi's a very efficient organization. yeah, but in time, i mean. suppose you meet the guy tomorrow and he says: "okay, kelly. tomorrow morning you steal that 100,000 dollars." -i said the fbi's an efficient organization, not kelly sherwood. i just follow instructions and do what they tell me. just like you're gonna do. sure. that's why you can't forget for one minute. -i mean, one mistake, one slip-- hello? hello? hello? who was it? -i don't know. it was him. i don't know. what did he say? he didn't say anything. -we just had a phone call. you heard it. we're going to bed now. i left the porch light on like you told me. control, this is unit two. -victim just checked in, going to bed. she just got a call. might have been suspect. otherwise, everything okay here. miss ashton. -miss ashton? what kind of a place is this? she said she had an unusual occupation. i guess she repairs or makes mannequins or something. well, look, old friend, if she decided to break the date i think we'd better get the-- -there's nobody here. i think you're wrong. is that nancy ashton? yes. then i'll call the bureau of inspectors. -what's going on here? who are you? i happen to own this building. who are you? fbi. -fbi? hello, frank. this is owen bradley. i'm with ripley. listen, we've got a homicide for you. -homicide? that's right. i don't know. i don't know. i was coming home and the door was open and the man was here and the other one on the phone and i don't know. -all right, mr. cutter. you'd better go to your apartment and take it easy. yes. she was obviously strangled before she was hanged. dead about an hour. -that's all i can tell you right now. excuse me. there obviously wasn't any girlfriend. she probably was gonna tell me that tonight. made up her mind too late. -got anything to do with the sherwood case? no, i don't think so. why? just wondered. i got a call last night. -we've got an informant, jim durgs. everybody calls him "popcorn." you can't call him a stool pigeon, he considers himself a newspaperman. he circulates around the crumb joints, picks up news. he'll sell it to us for five or 10 bucks. -he knows about the sherwood case? one thing right after the other, there might be some connection. this was in one of her purses. i was wrong. there is a connection. -evening, captain. i've got a new partner. this is mr. ripley. i'm glad to know you, mr. ripley. you're new, aren't you? -no, he's been at it quite a while. i hear you haven't been feeling too good. the doctor says if i was a building, he'd condemn me. what have you got on the bank job? about 15 dollars' worth. -all right. i don't know who's gonna pull the job but he's got a friend who uses a phone i staked out. where is the phone? i'd rather not say, sir. go on. -the guy wanted his friend to do something. the friend asked if there's gonna be a killing and the guy said there might be. near as i could get the name, the victim was sherwood. miss sherwood, the friend called her. he was gonna do away with her. -not now, but later. how much later? it was all very vague, sir. this friend, what does he look like? i just got a spot where i can listen. -i never see him. i want to know where that phone is. the captain and i have an agreement. don't give me-- i just supply the information, not the source. -that's the agreement. if there's a killing, it's on your head. i know that, sir. yeah. do you think you'll hear any more? -yeah, i think so. you be sure to call me? soon as i hear anything. thanks. nice meeting you, mr. ripley. -good night, gentlemen. think we ought to put a tail on him? he'd spot it. i've tried before. he spots it every time. -a very unique character, has kind of a built-in radar. yeah. has his own peculiar set of rules. you play the game his way or you don't play it at all. and in this case i think it would be better for miss sherwood if we kept the faith. -yeah, i guess so. hello? good morning, kelly. did i wake you up? yes. -what do you want? i don't like the way you're talking, kelly. i'm giving you 20 percent of 100,000 dollars. you can afford to talk a little nicer. i'm not awake yet. -that's better. i'm calling to reconfirm our appointment tonight. eleven o'clock. i'll be there. i hope so. -because if you're not i'll just have to contact your little sister. you understand? now, one word of warning. we've got a woman's life in jeopardy. we hope there won't be any shooting. -if there is, think before you make a move. i know these things move awfully fast sometimes but we can't afford any mistakes. that's about it, except for the layout. it's all yours, rip. we're placing four men in the club. -there'll be two on the upper floor two on the lower floor. we don't know if he'll contact you on the lower floor or the upper floor. you might not even see him. he may send somebody with instructions telling you to meet him elsewhere. one thing you must remember: -if you contact him we will not move in until you're a safe distance away. okay? i had another phone call this morning. yes, i know. do you think he really might try something with toby? -well, you know, i'd like to say no but there's no way of telling until we know the man. he knows i've been talking to you. he's just guessing. he took a risk that you'd come to the police. he figures if he says he does know, you might panic and admit it. -i hope you're right. yeah. i don't think it matters whether i'm right or wrong. he figures he's got a plan so clever it doesn't make any difference what you do. damn! -miss sherwood, i wish there was something i could do to make it easier. you're doing what you can. i'm scared. please, just don't worry. we'll be close by all the time. -and everything is going to be all right. yeah. victim is parking car, gas station. subject's entering the club now. may i take your coat? -oh, no, thank you. i'm just waiting for someone. can i help you? oh, well, i'm supposed to meet someone. well, i think there's some room at the bar. -well, is there a table? no, i'm sorry. we're all filled up right now. oh, well, then i guess i'll wait at the bar. oh, just ginger ale, please. -scotch. the yellow convertible, please. hello. are you looking for someone? yes. -well, i could be that someone. well, are you? yes. come on. my car's parked just over there. -can't we talk right here? here? all right. it's a blue '59 ford. license number, rcd022. -where are we going? we'll drive somewhere down by the ocean. what are you sitting way over there for? come on over here. well, come on. -no! what do you mean, no? i thought this was supposed to be business. okay. if that's the way you want it. -the way i want it? look, what is it with you? you did call me? call you? honey, i don't know what gives, but i didn't call you. -you mean, this wasn't prearranged? nobody told you to meet me? no! i just walked into that club and there you were. oh, my god! -oh, there's been a mistake. i was supposed to meet someone else. please, let me out. someone else? yes, i give you my word. -so you met me instead. what's the difference? no! look out! let me go! -hold it, hold it! hello? you dirty little double-crossing-- now, you shut up and listen to me. i didn't know that man. -i never saw him before. how was i supposed to know it wasn't you? he picked me up because i was standing around looking like i wanted to be picked up. you're a lying little-- why didn't you come and get me? -why did you let me stand around and get picked up like a prostitute? i did exactly what you told me to do. i said i'd work with you but only if you keep your part of the bargain. i was nearly killed tonight! it wasn't my fault. -so now what do we do? hello? hello? you know what i think, kelly? i think that man you met tonight was a cop. -a cop? that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? hello? oh, kel. we recorded the phone conversations between the subject and the victim. -washington went through the backgrounds of wanted men until they found an asthmatic. his name is garland lynch. has an alias of red lynch. we'll pass out i. o.'s to all of you. -you'll note that he has convictions for statutory rape, forgery criminal assault, armed robbery and murder. he's wanted for the slaying of an oklahoma city bank teller bertha meyers, age 24, who was murdered in her apartment. since she was a bank teller we might assume that the subject was trying to force her to work with him in a crime similar to the one he's attempting here and when she refused, or something went wrong, he murdered her. washington reports garland humphrey lynch is fond of movies, nightclubs, fishing, amusement parks and he frequently establishes liaisons with women of oriental descent. we'll divide these up between us and cover every nightclub and movie theater and so on in the bay area. -that's good food you have here. thank you. did you ever see this man before? no, sir. i don't recognize him. -may i see the manager, please? certainly. now, you're not going to find him in there. would you ask the others if they've seen him? i'll be glad to. -good afternoon. father, my name is ripley. i'm with the fbi. i wonder if you could help us. have you ever seen this man before? -yes. i've seen him many times with one of my parishioners, lisa soong. miss soong? yes? we're from the fbi. -this is agent bradley, i'm ripley. come in, please. thank you. please sit down. i must ask you to keep this visit in the strictest of confidence. -yes, of course. i understand you know a man by the name of red lynch. do you? no. perhaps you know him under a different name. -no. we're looking for this man on a murder charge. he killed a woman just about your age. she had a year-old baby. i want to talk to my lawyer. -of course. he's a neighbor. he lives across the street. we'll wait, if you don't mind. please do. -benson? lisa. he's coming up. now i'll prepare tea, if i may leave the room. you're not involved in anything wrong? -no, benson. if you are, even innocently, i'd advise you not to talk. i am telling the truth. then you must cooperate with these gentlemen. i'll take that. -thank you. i'm sorry, i was terribly frightened. that's all right. we understand. then you do know him? -yes. then perhaps you can tell us where he lives. i don't know. lisa. i don't. -you'll just have to believe me. we dated a few times, that's all. when was the last time you saw him? a week ago saturday. he picked me up at work. -we had dinner and went to a movie. you haven't heard from him since? no. sometimes i don't for a month or so. he's out of town a great deal. -how did you first meet him? where? it was at the drugstore. he used to come in and we'd talk. he seemed all right, so i went out to dinner with him. -that was about two years ago. you dated him only a few times in two years? that's right. did he tell you where he lived? no. -he didn't even mention it? he never mentioned. miss soong if your relationship with this man was as casual as you say i don't understand your apparent hostility. i've told you everything i know. thank you. -you know, this man has killed three people and he's going to go on killing until we find him. good night. lisa if you do know something you're not telling you'll be guilty of being an accessory. i'll be talking with you. thanks, captain. -i'll pass it on to rip. chuck. i was just talking to moreno. they showed the photograph to nancy's landlord. he recognized lynch. -he'd seen him visiting nancy a couple times. did he say anything else? no, he only saw him. didn't know who he was until he saw the photographs. judging from this guy's women, he's quite an operator. -he involved ashton in this case, she got frightened and he killed her. he probably knows she tried to contact us. i'll bet miss soong tells him. how can she protect a man like that, will you tell me? well, she could be scared. -mr. lynch is very capable when it comes to scaring people. so she's scared. there's more to it. well, maybe the lady's in love. how can anybody be in love with a man that's killed three women... -... and threatening to do it again? if she is in love with him she didn't know about him. now she knows. not easy being in love one minute and find out the man's a murderer. it's a pretty big adjustment. -all right, i'll bet she's not just in love with him and i'll bet she's not just scared. subject just entered the kaiser foundation. hello, joey. hello. where's your mother? -she went to phone. i'll go see if i can find her. there's a phone in the visitors' room at the end of the hall. joey, this is mr. ripley. hello, son. -hello. joey was born without a hip socket. so we gave him one. other boys have ordinary, old-fashioned ones, but joey's is brand-new plastic. well, now isn't that something? -well, i have to get back to work. i'll leave you two men alone. are you a doctor? no, i'm from the fbi, son. here, i'll show you. -you see this? are you a g-man? that's right. you don't look like a g-man. why, i don't? -well, i am one. honest? honest. you been in the hospital long, joey? i don't know. -well, i suppose you have a whole lot of visitors. my mommy comes to see me. my mommy comes to see me every night. you have a gun? yes. -yeah, i have a gun. can i see it? oh, i can't. we're not supposed to show the gun. guns are very dangerous. -i know, but couldn't i just see it, please? well, i don't suppose it'll do any harm to show you. okay? does your father come to see you? i don't have one. -did you ever shoot anybody? oh, no. how come? never had any reason to. who else comes to see you, joey? -only uncle red. do you know uncle red? yeah, i know him. mommy, he's a g-man! yes, i know, dear. -he's got a gun and everything. but he's never shot anybody. i have to talk with mr. ripley, then i'll be right back. now, it's late, and you've got to try and get some sleep. would you mind coming out to the hall? -will you come back? yes, i'll be back, son. you get some sleep now. okay. now, you get out of here. -i don't ever want to see you around my son again. i'm sorry, but i have a job to do. a job? what kind of a job when you sneak around and interrogate a 6-year-old? look, i have to catch a man who's killed three women. -that is not true. it is true and you know it. now, in order to catch red lynch i'll interrogate joey anytime it's necessary. did you know he paid the bills? thousands and thousands of dollars. -did you know that? red lynch, the man you said is a killer. why, i can't even begin to tell you the things he's done for my son. the kindness, the affection. he's like a father to joey. -come on, now-- no! you can go straight to hell. we can't let a murderer go loose just because he's been kind to your son. well, you'll get no help from me. -all right. but you think about this: if you don't help us find red lynch somewhere, sometime, a woman is going to die because of you. now, how do you think your joey is going to feel about that? i don't know who she was calling. -she hung up just as i got there. why are you crying, mommy? it's nothing, dear. go to sleep. hello, kelly. -i don't have much time. you take the money friday afternoon put it in your purse and just walk out. go straight home and i'll get in touch with you. is that clear? and you'll call me as soon as i get home? -i didn't say when. you just stay put. and don't get any ideas or you'll regret it. excuse me. do you feel all right? -oh, sure. he knows she'd have access to this kind of money only on fridays when the big commercial accounts bring their deposits in. does the bank ever examine purses? what's the point? if somebody wanted to embezzle, he could find a way. -miss sherwood. i was just telling mr. ripley, i was talking to the trustees and they appreciate your cooperation in this matter and when it's over, they'll see you get a promotion. that'll be nice. now about the money. i'd let her have it if i were handling the matter, but i'm not. -and a hundred thousand! if it got away from us-- no, i wouldn't want that responsibility. could we make up a dummy package? yeah, we'll take care of that situation when we get to it. -i know very well he's gonna keep me until he examines that money. and if it's fake.... but even if it's real, he's not gonna let me go. well, that's not necessarily so. look, we've got 28 hours before the bank closes tomorrow. -in the meantime, we'll just wait for a break, huh? if there's nothing else you want me for.... no, thank you very much. if there's anything, miss sherwood. anything at all. -thank you, mr. burkhardt. well, as i always say, you meet the strangest people in the ladies' room. yeah, i guess so. you'll have to brief me about tomorrow. well, suppose we wait until tomorrow. -do you think we have a chance? yes. now, i want you to do something for me. i want you to take toby swimming today after work. if she wants to bring her boyfriend along, that's all right. -whatever you say. afternoon, mr. ripley. well, i'm glad you could make it. i want to show you something. all right. -moreno says you have a big story. that's right. yes, sir. and that you might not sell it to us. well, you do have a little competition. -the newspapers, huh? well, i'd rather not say, sir. there are certain ethics involved. you understand. but you know something, popcorn? -i've known a lot of newspapermen. good ones, bad ones. the good ones are the ones with ethics. yes, sir. i've yet to meet a good reporter whose only concern was getting a story and keeping that source secret. -what else would he be concerned with? well, the people involved in the story. the effect that story might have on their lives. now, take a look over there, popcorn. see at the end of the pool, that girl in the green bathing suit? -the attractive one. the one with the brown hair. well, that's kelly sherwood. that girl with her, that's her younger sister, toby. and by this time saturday kelly sherwood may be dead. -that is, if red lynch's plans work out. as a matter of fact, she might be dead before saturday if the story gets to the newspapers and he figures she's double-crossed him. and if he doesn't get her, he'll go after the sister. i just wanted you to see them, that's all. you're asking me to suppress a news story. -i'm not asking you to do anything. fbi. one moment. yes? i've got a call. -says he wants to talk to an agent. all right, i'll take it. this is agent ripley speaking. i've got some information to give you about one of your cases. trace ripley's call. -what's your name, please? my name won't help you. this doesn't concern me. well, what's it about then? it's the sherwood matter. -sherwood? yes, that's right. well, i'm afraid i don't know the name. what sort of case is it? she's being threatened. -miss kelly sherwood. i don't think i know anything about it. perhaps if you give me some more information-- well, maybe i was wrong. if we were handling the case, i'm quite sure that i'd know the name. -i tell you what-- yeah? thanks. not enough time. i knew it was him the minute i heard his voice. -man, if i could have just kept him talking. just.... i just got a report. there's a heavy fog rolling in on glenbrook ave. now it's getting so thick down here i can hardly see the front of the house. -hold it. there's a car in the vicinity. it's stopping in front of the victim's house now. all right, who are you? who am i? -i'm smokey the bear. who the hell are you? control, this is colby. yeah, colby, come in. we have a drunk up here. -can you send the local police up? roger. evening, mr. ripley. hello, popcorn. i'm afraid i'm not a very good newspaperman. -i've been doing some thinking. this one's on the house. costs you nothing. it's for the girls. i'm gonna show you where the phone is. -the phone that lynch uses? oh, no, a friend of his. i don't know who he is. i don't know his name. he's making arrangements to get mr. lynch out of the country. -air tickets, forged passports, health certificates, all that. every night at midnight, mr. lynch calls him. follow me. don shoemaker. he's a runner. -was a runner. errand boy for anyone who had the price of a fix. too bad he's dead. well, i had no other choice. and it's too bad about popcorn. -bound to happen. can't be that kind of businessman and expect to live forever. hi, joey. how are you doing there, boy? swell. -miss soong. i'd like to talk to him. and i don't have anything to say about it? oh, on the contrary. i'd much rather talk to you. -i said everything i had to say last night. all right. joey, i'd like to talk to your uncle red. you wanna see him? do you know where i might find him? -where does he live, mama? i've told mr. ripley i don't know. joey, does he ever send you toys? he sent me a big tiger. when was that? -on my birthday. when is your birthday, joey? july 26. i'm 6 years old. well, now, you're quite a fella, aren't you? -when's the last time uncle red saw you? on my birthday. did he say when he'd be back? did he ever write you a letter, joey? why doesn't he write me, mama? -i asked him special last time. he's busy. see you tonight, pumpkin. i've got a surprise for you. so long, joey. -i'll be seeing you. so long. hangout. is toby sherwood there? who? -toby sherwood. just a minute and i'll see. toby sherwood? toby sherwood! that's me. -hello? this is a friend of your sister's. we've got a business deal, did she tell you? what? a friend of your sister's. -she's been shot. she's been what? she's been shot. it was an accident. she's bleeding badly and somebody's gotta get her to a hospital. -i'll be at the corner of 25th and clement in my car. come by yourself. go out the back door right now and don't say anything to anybody at all. if you do, i'll let her die. tob? -get out of here! get out of my kitchen. tob! hey, look out! i don't know, she just got a phone call and ran out the back door. -toby! get in. come on, come on. your sister's all right. you said she was dying. -i had to find some way to get you here. take off your clothes. you want me to take them off for you? then take them off. the sweater too. -toss them over. sit down. miss sherwood, please. hello? now, listen carefully, kelly. -when you get off, drive down to fisherman's wharf. park at the open market. now you walk to the telephone booths across the street at the gas station. i'll call you at exactly 7:30 and give you instructions where to go. you understand? -yes. oh, and one more thing. in case you're considering anything foolish, i've got toby. now, she's all right now and if i get the money i'll let her go. but if anything goes wrong i'll kill her. -and if i'm not around to do it, i've got a friend who's going to baby-sit. oh, wait a minute. tell her you're all right. sis? he said you were shot. -that's enough. oh, no, please don't. all right. all right. come on. -over there. in there. go on. we checked for miles around. nobody remembers seeing his car though we had a description. -police put out an all points, so we're covered there. on the toy tiger, cronin's men are still checking out the stores. agents running a tail on miss soong report in the negative. subject has made no attempt to contact her, nor has she him. that's about it. -how is miss sherwood doing? she'll probably have a nervous breakdown after it's over, but she'll make it. let's go. one thousand. there you are, mr. murchison. -thank you. how about a movie tonight? no, i'm sorry, dick, but i promised toby-- i'm gonna drown that kid. tomorrow night?

-like a storm, the beast wipes away the blood from his maw, and swims away! son, fly to shatsu! claw at his throat, and don't return until... you've ripped out his guts! all right, everyone, let's kill the whale god! i'll sleep with the man who slays the whale god! -townspeople, i'd like the attention of the spearmen and sailors among you. we hereby swear to kill the whale god, even if it costs us our lives. i'm an old man. of course, if i were 10 years younger, i' be leading the charge. mark my words. -since i can't give my life, i offer something else: i don't care who it is... i will give my only daughter toyo to the man... who cuts off the whale god's snout and brings it to me on a rope. silence! you will receive my house, my land, and even my name. -toyo shall be your bride. i repeat. i shall give my fields, my mountains, my title, and my daughter to the man who brings in the snout of the whale god. shaki, you lost your grandfather, father, and brother to it. you should be the first to volunteer. -i will kill the whale god! i will leave the whale god to no other man! i will die too! the whale god and i will kill each other! i will slay the whale god. -i, the son of the chief spearfisher, will slay the whale god. i was just listening to you. you're not from around here. he arrived 10 days ago, from kishu. does this deal apply to people from outside of your village? -would you keep your promise to a drifter... who brings in the whale god's snout? a samurai does not mince his words. even if it's a filthy beggar that washed up on the shore, i shall offer my daughter and my land to him... if he brings me the whale god's snout on a rope. then you can count me in. -don't ever approach me like this again, or i'll run my sword through your stinking guts. i'll be the one to kill the whale god! kishu! kishu, come out! come out, kishu, you and i are going to have it out right here! -why do i have to fight you? you're not the only harpooner in the village; everybody has it in mind to kill the whale god. you got a lot of nerve, thinking that you can... brush me aside and be the one to bed the village elder's daughter. oh, that. -so go tell the elder that you want to volunteer as well. shaki will have the first shot at the whale god. his grandfather, father, and brother were all killed by the beast. and he'll be killed, too. if he dies, i'll be next in line. -but while shaki is still alive, he goes first. the one to kill the whale god will be me, not shaki! have you forgotten the code of the sea? this is no time to worry about any code. the whale god must be killed. -what? kishu, whassamatta? ! get up! shaki, wake up. -it's morning already? it was all i could do to wake you up. you've been asleep for two days. i thought you might die. i was exhausted. -but i feel better now. my muscles are stiff. i think i'll go take a look at the first whale i killed. it's already been moved to the barn. shaki. -what? you must be hungry. i'll get you something to eat. what is it? kasuke is here. -kasuke? shaki, we need to talk. why are you dressed like that? where are you going? nagasaki. -and abandon the town? you can't change my mind. you're like me: your family's been in whaling for two generations. i'm not giving my baby sister to a man who'd turn his back on the village of wadaura. i'm not turning my back on the town. -this is the path that i must walk. i'm going to study to be a doctor in nagasaki. then i'll marry yuki. you're not going anywhere 'till we've killed the whale god. has the whale god driven you mad? -everyone is obsessed with the whale god... have you taken leave of your senses? how many people have died trying to capture it? i'm the last one left in my family. shaki, forget about it. the whale god is just a whale. -i was put on this earth to kill the whale god. avenging a parent's death is a part of a past age. it's not just about that, it's a showdown. there's nothing to be won, it's a fool's errand. nothing to be won? -! shaki! i'm fighting with every fiber of my being. fighting is my life, and my enemy's the whale god! that's all there is to it! -that's my life! that's the road i walk! i got it. if your life is the sea and the whale god, i understand. but it's not mine. -i have my own goals. yuki, i'll be back for you in a year. please wait for me. are you going to be the bride of a man who abandons the town? shaki, i'm going. -get out, and don't ever come back! i won't leave your bones on the beach like garbage. when i kill the whale god, i will send its bones to quietly drift to the northern seas. i'm here to see the village elder. -oh, he's in the back. i'm shaki, of koromogahama. shaki, what was it like the first time you went fishing? everything about it was interesting. today you will take over from where your father and grandfather left off. -you will be the chief spearfisher. yes, sir. the whale god will swim far out to sea, and will return at the yearend, or in spring. you must train your body in preparation. yes, sir. -that's all, you're dismissed. i don't want to marry a spearfisher. the man who slays the whale god will be the most honorable man in the village. i don't want to be the prize for the man who catches the whale god. it's not dignified. -shaki is a fine young man. i don't care if it's shaki or someone else. i don't want to be the trophy of a fisherman's ambition. you needn't worry. it will never happen. -the man who kills the whale god won't escape with his life. he won't return alive. i can't believe how cruel you are. toyo, in kishu, tosa, tango, and the rest of japan, spearfishers tremble in fear of the whale god. when they see him, they roll in their nets and flee to shore. -where's the honor in whaling? if they run from whales, what are they living for? i will see the whale god dead, even if it means... the destruction of wadaura village. so shaki will die for your crusade? that's right. -everyone will die, until the whale god is caught. you're obsessed with the whale god. toyo, i am going to catch that black monster, and flay his skin, dice his meat, smash his bones, and hold him in these hands. in these hands! ei! -i didn't think you'd come. why? i thought you wanted to marry the elder's daughter. it's not toyo i'm after, it's the whale god. that's all. -if you kill the whale god, toyo will be your bride. i'm only thinking about the whale god. shatsu is lurking somewhere beyond the kuroshio current. shaki, forget the whale god. marry me. -i refuse to marry until the whale god is dead. you don't like me because i'm from a poor family. ei, i love you. shaki! shaki! -i caught me a female whale! let's skin it and eat it! cut it out! you morons can't even catch a whale, so you take a girl instead? you idiot fishermen! -hey shaki, hurry up and catch the whale god so i can sleep with you. shaki! gimme a drink. hey, i'm going to be the one to kill the whale god. you'll be sleeping with me. -you could be the one that i sleep with, but you won't be. that's because you won't be the one to kill the whale god! i'm at my wits' end. hurry up and catch the whale god, so i can sleep with you! hey, do you know who my husband was? -a different man every night! my husband was the chief spearfisher in the sea off of tango. he died when he caught a huge baleen whale by the tail. that makes me a whale widow! hey, kishu! -kishu, i've been waiting for you. hey, lady-killer, so this is where you've been? kishu, i'd like to ask you to step outside. you'll be going up against me. i don't know you, mister. -he's a spearfisher who arrived today from choshu. you'll fight him. get me a drink! shaki, show them the stuff that the men of wadaura are made of! my only opponent is the whale. -you wanna piece of me, too? not me. i don't want to fight. shaki! you wanna dance? -try it! my only enemy is the whale god! it's you. shaki! shaki! -mom! shaki. i'm dying. you can't go now, i want you to live long enough to see me slay the whale god. -don't worry, i'll be watching from heaven. mom, i will kill that whale! shaki, you catch the whale god by the nose. ask yohei. i'll ask yohei. -shaki, it's enough that people live until they die. i understand. live until you die. mom! i hear your mother died. -it was on a hot summer day. i haven't left home since then. kasuke, take yuki with you. shaki, you plan to die, don't you? i'm going to fight, not to die. -i'll fight the whale god with all my strength. shaki, i came to see yuki. please make her happy. i'm trusting you. i want to be alone. -all alone. the south wind is blowing... the whale god will come. grandfather, father, brother, please give me the strength to strike down the whale god. ei? -what's wrong? does your stomach hurt? ei, what is it? i'm going into labor. is there anything i can do? -bring some hot water. don't tell my father or anyone else about this. i understand. shaki. what? -i'm sorry. why did you tell everyone that the baby was yours? we've never had sex, and this will bring about your ruin. it won't ruin me. it's all the same. -if you say that you're the father, you can't marry toyo. i don't care about her. are you saying that you're not going to kill the whale god? of course i'll kill him. nothing has changed. -don't you want to know whose child it is? i don't care. it's all the same. being here proves that i am the father. we don't have any sake or food. -ei, you're all i need. i don't want to be indebted to you. you don't owe me anything. i didn't want to have the baby. he forced himself on me. -i tried to get rid of it. i went into the sea in cold weather. i hit my stomach with rocks. i jumped off cliffs. the baby didn't do anything wrong. -i'm here, so it doesn't matter from whose seed it came. he's part of my family now. if i die, he will avenge me. i thought so... you didn't agree to be the father because you love me. -ei, i love you. then you agreed to be the father because you knew... you were going to die anyway. ei, i love you. shaki, it's lonely to die alone. it's not lonely. -i'll play the hand i've been dealt. i don't want you to die. don't leave me alone. who says i will die? no, you'll die. -please live a long life with me. don't just go off and die! don't! is it really your child? are you the father of ei's son? -it's my child. i'm the father. don't you want to kill the whale god and marry toyo? i will kill the whale god. then don't you want to be the village elder? -it will be my spear that kills the whale god. slaying the whale god is the only reward i need. i understand. get out. miss. -i hereby baptize this child in the name of... the father, the son, and the holy spirit. you shall grow quickly to be a devout christian, and be every bit as brave of a whaler as your father. kishu! this is my son. have a look. -so... he's cute. what's so special about him? didn't you come to see him? don't you want a child of your own some day? i don't have a wife, -and i don't want a child. a whaler doesn't need kids. you'll be every bit as brave of a whaler as your father. shaki, we need to talk. shaki, you broke your promise. -i live... only to catch the whale god. so catching the whale god does not mean marrying me? when i catch the whale god, the whale god might catch me too. i don't know when i'll die. then why did you marry ei? -why? shaki... don't you like me? i take this as a personal insult. miss... -i hate you. come on in. yohei. i'm shaki from wadaura. you bounced me on your knee when i was a baby. -shaki? i don't care what you say, i'm not going back to wadaura! that place terrifies me! i'd rather be a beggar right here. it's easier to live off of rotten fish and the dregs of fishermen's sake. -i'm not going back. i didn't come to drag you back to wadaura. shatsu scares me. i won't go back. sake! -ok. the whale god dragged me along. the beast had your granddad too. we were sailing for three days and three nights. dozens of men dead... and the fishermen of wadaura are still chasing the whale god. -everyone says i'm crazy, but the fishermen chasing the whale god are the crazy ones. yohei, my mother is dead. she was crazy, too... mad from her obsession with the whale god. when she lay dying, she said i should ask you about how to catch the whale god. -you're mad, too? ! tell me! he'll return soon. forget about shatsu. -it's senseless. what good does your pride do you? it doesn't do you any good. the only thing you stand to gain is some oil. it's not worth trading your life for. -you could have a loving wife. you could raise some kids. life! life! just before mom died, she said, -"it's enough that people should live until they die." she was crazy. yohei, if a man dies well, doesn't that mean that he lived well? so, in order to live well, we must die well. that's what i believe. -shaki, i was your age once. yohei, tell me how to catch it! there are no secrets... grab him by the nose and hold on for dear life. if he dives, you go down with him. -you grab the whale god and don't let go. telegram! it's a telegram. a telegram? ! -it's a telegram! it's a telegram! it's from the setozakiura whalers league! the whale god is back! a telegram, you say? -! from the setozakiura whalers league. sound the bell! gather the village! people of wadaura, the whale god passed the waters off of setozakiura this morning. -i received a telegram from the setozakiura whalers league to this effect. i'm afraid i can't let anyone take their boats out now. we shall post a lookout on the cliff and when we clearly see shatsu's forked spout, and make sure that it's not just two whales, and is indeed the whale god's spout, tomorrow from morning to evening, the whale god will most definitely cross this spot, just like he did last year. we'll launch our ships tomorrow morning! -hurry! attack! grandfather, father, brother, mom, the whale god is finally here. i'm going. shaki. -you've married ei, and you'll never inherit the village elder's title. you've no cause to risk your life trying to kill the whale god. are you just going to throw your life away? you don't know anything about me. don't die for nothing. -now that you're a father, you have to think about your child. i'm on your side. let me go first tomorrow. i'll be the one to put a ring in his nose. if you want have a try, it will be after i'm dead. -you can't kill it. it's not like other whales, you stubborn bastard. the only man who can fight shatsu on equal footing, is a murderer like me. don't just go and die for nothing. i know what you're after. -you have in mind to kill the whale god so you can... inherit the elder's estate and marry his daughter. you're right. who doesn't want that? i'll make that proud rich girl my bride, amuse myself with her, and then sell her off to a bordello. god, you're evil! -glad you finally figured it out. i'm going to kill the whale god. give it up! shut up! i'm the only one in wadaura that can ring shatsu's nose! -whether i'm to live or die is not your decision! i give up. maybe you'll be asleep while the whale god passes. do your worst! shaki, we'll decide this... on the sea tomorrow. -well, then, everything will be settled then. let's shove off! it's the whale god! paddle, damn you! he's diving! -after him! get him! paddle! paddle as hard as you can! chase after him! -attack! paddle! there he is! that's the whale god! whaling ship, attack! -nets are cast! we cast the nets on the whale god! now, attack! throw your harpoons! don't let go of the rope! -don't let go of the rope! the whale god mustn't win! don't let go! the whale god is weakened! now! -ram him! throw your harpoons! kishu, not yet! not yet! let me go! -if you go now, he'll kill you and you'll never catch him! let me go! kishu went first! i'm the one who will ring the whale god's snout! kishu didn't wait for you to go. -you won't ring the whale god's snout, even if you go now! kishu stabbed the whale god in a vital point! kishu, the whale god's going to dive! come back now! kishu! -kishu! kishu! kishu! kishu! shaki, now's your chance to ring shatsu's nose! -go! we caught the whale god! the whale god is dead! shaki! the whale god... -what happened to the whale god? we hauled him on to the beach and butchered him. he was twice the size of a regular whale. we saved the head and left it on the beach. take me there. -take me to the beach. lay me down where i can see the whale god. i want to die looking at the whale god. shaki, your arms are broken. your legs are broken. -you can't be moved. stay still. take me there. i want to see the whale god. please take him to the beach. -we cannot. this man is dying. god wouldn't permit it. take me there. all right. -shaki, we will do as you ask. you're the finest harpoon-thrower in wadaura. our lord, jesus christ... please, stop. i want to be alone. -please, go. whale god, you fought well. whale god, you're finally dead. what's wrong? i have nothing to hide from you now. -if i don't tell you everything and receive your forgiveness, i fear i'll go to hell. the child's father was kishu. the man who raped me was kishu! i already knew. -you knew? when i saw kishu stabbing the whale god, i knew. he went ahead of me in attacking the whale. he was reckless. he wasn't attacking it properly. -he wasn't trying to ring its snout. he was stabbing a vital point repeatedly, to weaken it. he was trying to save my life. ei... please forgive kishu. the child is mine. -please raise him to be a proud whaler. go. leave me alone. i want to talk to the whale god. shaki, are you in pain? -we've sent to nagasaki to get a doctor. he'll be here tomorrow night. i'll die with the sunset tomorrow. i don't need a doctor. shaki, there will be a grand wedding tomorrow, to marry... the elder's daughter with the finest spearfisher. -i have a wife named ei. i know that. but you beat me. tomorrow you shall inherit my estate. my name and my estate is yours. -i will leave my home and give it to you. shaki, are you listening? as of tomorrow, you will be the village elder. miss... do you love me? -i don't. then why would you marry me? i am the daughter of the village elder. i am to marry the man who rings the whale god's snout. i want to marry you, because you killed the whale god. -you're all mad. stop talking this lunacy to a dying man. it's not lunacy. i am a whaler. i lived for the whale god. -now that he's dead, i have no reason to live. whale god, how many people have you fought? but that's all over now. i've lain here for three days. i'll be seeing you soon, kishu. -we'll meet again. when you were alive, we were enemies. but you were a worthy adversary. cloak yourself in black clouds and go. what could be so great? -like a storm, the beast wipes away the blood from his maw, and swims away! the last sunset i saw, the waves grew near, and i felt as if i were changing into the whale god. i would naturally change into your bones. my flesh would swell like an island. i'd face the setting sun and with a powerful sweep of my tail, smash down on the sea and swim away. -that's right, i'm the whale god. and the whale god is me. i won't die; i'll become the whale god. the whale god is me! -and i am the whale god! translation: scannon timing: lordretsudo some day, when i go to school... are you helping build it, elke?

some people don't even bother to. oh, roberta. oh, it's all right. it's all right. -you're not even 19 yet. you've got your whole life ahead of you to live and enjoy. he never came to see me, never even called once to say he was sorry, not once. who? brad shelby. -oh, i-- we got along together so well, especially when we were at the races. roberta, he liked me. jennifer. jennifer. -you know madelon haines? the day before your father died, madelon haines was married in las vegas to brad shelby. no. no, it can't be. -she's older than he is, and she's not pretty at all. and she's also a very wealthy woman with a big ranch and a string of race horses. i don't know whatever it was that brad said to you, but whatever it was, it was just his charming way of being irresistible to anything in a skirt. jenny, i'm very sorry. oh, roberta, i feel like-- -jenny, listen, i have an idea. this place is so big and empty, and you're all alone now. i have a lovely apartment. why don't you move in with me? you can stay with me until-- well, until you get straightened out. -how about it? okay, it's settled. good. we'll call your uncle and... we'll tell him you're moving and you'll come see him later. come here. -i'm sorry, jennifer. having to tell you-- this is the hardest part of being executor of your father's estate. after all the obligations are met... you mean there isn't any money left? none at all? -what do i do, uncle emmett? you go on just as you have been. but what about all those bills? that's my job. just wish your father had been as good a businessman as he was a horseman. -why, jenny... you're not alone. jennifer, we've never been very close, or we'd know each other better. we're family now. we're the only family either of us has. we've got to have faith in each other. -and the only thing i really have left is tiger lil. i've made up my mind, mr. durell. i'm going to race her. i've heard your father say, more than once, that the most expensive way to make money was to race horses. well, after he was sick, he told me that i could, told me some day i'd run the stable. -is joe mead still training tiger lil? yes, he's at the ranch with her now. daddy wanted me to race her at the fairgrounds for experience, before the big track. those are her only three races, and she won them all. jennifer, i have a surprise for you. -your father planned it for you three years ago, when tiger lil was foaled. he nominated her for the "presentation stakes." paid all the fees in advance, everything. oh, this is wonderful. presentation-- why that's a $75,000 purse. -all you need to do is apply for stable space and get her over here with a trainer. oh, thank you, mr. durell. you don't know what this means to me. joe? joe. -well, hi, jennifer. guess what? lil is going to run in the presentation stakes. the presentation? yes, she's eligible. -daddy nominated her when she was a foal, but he never told me about it. i've already applied for stable space. you can get her ready and take her over early next... joe, those are yours. i'm leaving. -but you can't leave. you're tiger lil's trainer. jennifer, tiger lil's been sold. sold? to brad shelby. -jennifer, she's gone. shelby came over early this morning and took her. why didn't you stop him? there wasn't anything i could do, jenny. mr. pierson ordered me to turn her over. -but she's mine. tiger lil belongs here. she can't be sold. why, jennifer wakely, how nice to see you. i came to see brad. -my husband's busy at the stables. could you possibly talk to me about whatever it is? i didn't come to talk. i came to get my filly back. i admire your directness, jenny. -why is tiger lil so important to you? i should think there'd be many things more important than horses to an attractive girl like you. well, you're wrong. just as i was wrong when i thought there were more important things to you than money. look, i wanted to talk to you and tell you how sorry i am about your father. -he was my friend. i miss him. i miss you, too. you know, i bought lil to help you. i don't want your help. -i came here to get what's already mine, tiger lil. you have nothing to say about that filly. i bought her, and that's the way it's going to stay. i'll get tiger lil back, and you won't stop me. -nobody will listen to me. can you help me, mr. mason? well, that depends. jennifer, in what condition is your father's estate? there's a big mortgage against the ranch and loans against the insurance. -the only thing i really have left is tiger lil. uncle emmett didn't have any right to sell her, did he? that also depends. you're a minor, jennifer. an executor, acting in your behalf, could dispose of properties on his own judgment, providing he can show the court that the transaction will benefit the estate. -tiger lil wasn't just property. i raised her and i love her. doesn't that count? uncle emmett didn't even tell me. what mr. pierson did may have been thoughtless and unkind, but not necessarily illegal. -however, let me look into it. i'll see him right away. wait for me at the apartment. i'll get back to you there. horse breeding is a rich man's game. -my brother-in-law wasn't rich. a good trainer, yes, but jennifer's father simply had no head for business. as you can see, there isn't much to work with. when shelby came to me with an offer of $50,000 to buy the horse, i really had no alternative but to sell. -i realize you had no alternative but to sell the other wakely horses, mr. pierson. why didn't you consult with jennifer about the sale of tiger lil? knowing how jennifer felt about the horse, i believed it was kinder not to tell her until after it was done. she's a badly upset young woman. -yes, she took it much harder than i expected. of course i knew from the records about the presentation stakes. i realize this is a great disappointment to her, but, mr. mason, i'm not a gambler. i'm a businessman. -miss harper, my name is mason. this is my secretary, miss street. may we see jennifer, please? oh, she isn't here right now. but we asked her to wait her for us. -oh, she got a telephone call from some woman. she was very excited, and from the way she was dressed and what she said, i'm pretty sure she may have gone out to the ranch, her ranch. this woman who called-- do you know who it was? no, i don't. -would you like to leave a message for her, mr. mason? no, no, we'll-- we'll just run out to the ranch. it's mighty quiet. let's try the house. you must be joe mead. -this is miss street, my name is mason. we're looking for jennifer. well, she's staying in town with roberta harper. we've been there. it's about the sale of her horse. -oh? what about it? i'd better talk to her first. any idea where she might be? no, i don't. -excuse me, but i've got to get moving. i've got a job driving a load of horses to san bruno. just came back for some personal things that i-- why, the horse trailer's gone. perry, you don't think jennifer would... -i don't know. joe, what's the quickest way to get to the shamrock stables? madelon! madelon! madelon! -what is it, vic? it's mr. shelby. he's dead. i didn't mean to do it. i- -i didn't mean to do it. i didn't mean to do it! brad shelby just sort of popped out at me. i screamed, i guess. i was scared. -he grabbed for the spreader, and we struggled. then i gave him a push, and he tripped and fell backwards, and i started running, but he came right after me. oh, i was frightened. i just turned and threw the spreader at him. did you hit him? -i don't know. i didn't look. i just ran to the house for help, but nobody was there. after you threw the spreader, did shelby keep on running after you? no, i didn't hear-- -if i had missed him, he wouldn't been running after me, so i must've... no, jennifer, it's unlikely that you hit him. mr. mason, couldn't he maybe have tripped and fallen on the spreader? couldn't it have been an accident? no, jennifer, and the state will contend that shelby was only trying to prevent his property from being stolen. -but i wasn't stealing, i was only doing what madelon shelby told me to do when she phoned. madelon shelby called you? yes. and it was after that, that you left the apartment. -yes, mr. mason. madelon told me on the phone to come over to the ranch right away that night and take lil. she said that no one, at least for a few hours, would be at the shamrock. that's exactly what she said. yes, i did call her, but i had absolutely no idea anything like this would happen. -you must've expected trouble with your husband at the ranch. he wasn't supposed to be there. we had a date to meet at the red coach inn at 8:30 for dinner, but he didn't show up. you know, mr. mason, shamrock stables didn't need jennifer's filly. -when jennifer protested the sale, i was perfectly willing to cancel it. but why did you want jennifer to pick up her horse secretly at night without telling anyone, not even your husband? at the time it just seemed like the simplest way. there would be no one at the ranch. she could pick up the horse without any interference. -you see, brad was going to ship some horses into mexico at 6:00 in the morning. i wanted to be sure that tiger lil didn't go with them. am i to understand that you decided to cancel the sale, but that your husband hadn't agreed to the cancellation? he was a headstrong man, but buying an unproven filly for $50,000-- well, it just doesn't make sense. is $50,000 an unusual price? -at the best, $10,000 would be a generous price for tiger lil. $50,000 is preposterous. then why did you agree to it? i didn't. brad did it on his own, without consulting me or george tabor, our trainer. -i didn't even know about the sale until jennifer came to the house. i only wanted to help jennifer when i told her to come and get her filly. i'm sorry about what happened. i want to help her now, if i can. that's very kind of you, mrs. shelby. -particularly if she has an uncle like that. what do you mean? emmett pierson should know something about horses. does it strike you as being very honest to sell tiger lil for five times what the horse was worth? because you didn't ask me, i guess. -i had the impression somehow that you knew how good a deal it was. why, had to approve the sale regardless of jennifer's feelings. mr. pierson, did you know that shelby was buying the horse without the knowledge of his wife or their trainer? yes. considering the ridiculously high price you received, didn't that strike you as a little odd? -well, he knew the horse. he'd watched her train at the wakely ranch before he married madelon haines. that marriage was sudden, and, frankly, shelby was out of his depth. i believe that's why he wanted to do something big, entirely on his own, to prove himself at the shamrock stables. i think that's why he insisted on closing the deal, admittedly an expensive on, before the shamrock trainer, george tabor, gets back from the east. -when is that? next week. if only i had been less of a businessman and more of an uncle. at least i'm glad she has you, mr. mason. you don't think she did it, do you? -i'm convinced she didn't. well, then... it's just that the sheriff's office and the district attorney might not agree with me. but facts are facts. her fingerprints are all over the handle of that spreader. -as far as we're concerned, she was the last person to handle the murder weapon. i thought you'd like to know, the district attorney's going ahead with a hearing. that's very kind of you, sergeant landro. see you, counselor. come in, won't you? -hello, mr. mason. thank you for stopping by, miss harper. have you seen jennifer? how is she? all right, i think. -i'm on my way to see her now with a few things they said she might need. i'll only keep you a moment. won't you sit down, please? miss harper, how long were you secretary to jennifer's father? almost two years. -then you were there when they first met brad shelby. did they meet through you? yes. the police know. i guess you might as well, too. -mr. mason, brad shelby and i were married about seven years ago, for one month. then we just called it quits. about a year or so ago he saw me at the track with mr. wakely and jennifer. it was a casual sort of thing. i introduced him. -they liked him. he was no good, but he was a real charmer. did jennifer or her father know that you had been married to shelby? no. i was ashamed of it. -believe me, mr. mason. i would've said something. i would have told them what kind of guy he was, if it had dawned on me. jennifer was old enou-- i know what you're thinking, mr. mason. -his sudden marriage to madelon haines was a shock, but jennifer took it very well. and then, miss harber? then she found out he bought tiger lil. oh, of all the people in the world, why did he have to buy her filly? that's a good question. -yes, gertie. just a minute. it's paul. excuse me. yes, paul. -this is it so far, perry. madelon shelby was at the red coach last night. she arrived there about 8:30 and left a little past 9:00. i don't know where she went after that. victor and the two stable hands were at a poker game, which broke up early. -george tabor left the ranch just before noon, but i haven't been able to find out where he went. george tabor? yeah, the shamrock trainer. he wasn't due back until next week. well, i wouldn't know about that, but he flew in yesterday morning, was at the ranch from around 10:00, a little before noon, and then went into town some place. -what about joe mead? due back any time now. i was just on my way out to the ranch to see him. all right, paul, swing by the office. i'll go with you. -look, why don't you get out of here, tabor? not until we settle this business about the filly, joe. you knew about tiger lil. you kept your mouth shut and let her be sold. it was none of my business, and it wasn't your money, so it's none of your business either. -well, i'm making it my business. oh, i get it. you want to be a hero. everybody knows you've been sweet on madelon for years. now that her young husband's out of the way, you fig-- -hold it. joe, this is paul drake. hi. howdy. who's your friend? -that's george tabor. he's trainer for shamrock. what was all the muscle about? it's personal-- private matter. why did tabor come to see you? -well, he didn't like the idea of shamrock stables buying jennifer's filly, and he figured i had something to do with the sale. did you? no. first i knew of any sale was when mr. pierson called up and ordered me to turn the filly over to shelby. how well did you know brad shelby, joe? -he hung around here at the ranch. you sure you didn't know him before that, know enough about his past, perhaps, to convince him that $50,000 was a fair price for tiger lil? fifty thous-- mr. mason, i told you, i had nothing to do with that sale. -george tabor didn't think so, did he? i've sent for george tabor. he'll be here in a minute. would you mind telling me why you wanted to see him? since our talk this morning, i've learned that mr. tabor returned yesterday. -that's right. quite unexpectedly. yes. he finished up early and came on home. we were hoping he could shed some light on a rather puzzling aspect of the sale of jennifer's filly. -but george was out of town when the sale was made. that's true, but he was at the wakely ranch less than an hour ago talking very emphatically to joe mead about it. george, this is mr. perry mason, jennifer wakely's attorney, and mr. drake. you have an enviable reputation, mr. tabor. i understand the shamrock stables have never purchased a horse without your okay, that is until they bought tiger lil. -would you get to your point, mr. mason? is that why you went to see joe mead? that's none of your business. george. you talked to joe mead. -what did he tell you? among other things, that he had nothing to do with the sale. he's a liar! was it possibly because mr. shelby took advantage of your absence by making a very shrewd purchase of his own? "shrewd purchase." -tiger lil is a very promising filly. i'm going to show you gentlemen something. you got here just in time. you might as well see it too, madelon. i'm going to show you what mr. shelby paid $50,000 for. -something's wrong. she's limping. that's enough, vic. a fracture of the os pedis, madelon, not serious enough to have her destroyed, but serious enough even if properly treated, chances are she'd never run again. she's had that bone trouble for weeks, mason. -that's what i went to see joe mead about. brad shelby paid $50,000 for a horse that'll never run another race again as long as it lives. yes, we found clear prints, which we identified as those of the defendant. sergeant landro, could you tell how the spreader was held? yes, at least once... about like this. -i see. now, the autopsy surgeon testified that in his opinion, based on an examination of the fatal wounds, the spreader could not have been thrown from any distance, particularly by a woman, in order to inflict such wounds. as a homicide expert, sergeant landro, do you agree with that opinion? yes, that spreader wasn't thrown. it was thrust into the body at close range. -thank you, sergeant. that'll be all. your witness. sergeant landro, were there any other fingerprints on the metal handle of the spreader, other than those of the defendant? yes, we found one set belonging to the decedent. -if someone held the spreader like this, with their hands on the wood, not the metal, would you have picked up the fingerprints of that person? well, the contour and surface of that wood are such that they don't lend themselves easily to retaining fingerprints. someone could have held the spreader by the wood part of the handle, and we wouldn't have found any fingerprints. well, when i saw it was the wakely trailer, i figured i'd better go over and see what was going on, and there she was, standing over mr. shelby with that spreader sticking in him. -because mr. shelby and miss wakely had a fight that afternoon about the filly. really? did you happen to hear what was said during that fight? i did- i did happen to hear miss wakely say that she'd get that filly back and that he wouldn't stop her. -oh, boy, was she-- she was crying mad when she left that ranch. now, miss harper, when miss wakely returned to the apartment, after discovering that her horse had been sold, did she tell you anything about going to see brad shelby? yes. what did she tell you about it? oh, something about he wouldn't let her take lil back. -miss harper, i'm not interested in "something about." i want to know exactly what she said. she said... "i thought i hated brad shelby when he married madelon haines. i didn't know how much i hated him until now. -in other words, mrs. shelby, you made arrangements to return the horse, out of your sympathy for the defendant's love for the animal and in the belief that no one would be present at the stable during those few hours that night to interfere with her taking the animal. is that correct? yes. i think that'll be all, mrs. shelby. thank you. -cross-examine. jennifer stated to you that she would go along with your arrangements? when roberta called her to the phone and i told her, she was quite excited and said she'd come right out. mrs. shelby, were you also concerned that jennifer get her horse that night because your husband planned to ship some horses to mexico the next morning and you wanted to be sure that tiger lil didn't go with them? yes, that's right. -when did your trainer george tabor get back from the east? that morning, about 10:00. mrs. shelby, is it possible that your husband knew that he had bought a crippled horse and, with george tabor's unexpected return, knew that he had to get that horse away before it was discovered? objection, your honor. i'll withdraw the question. -you say you went to the red coach inn at 8:30 to meet your husband. you waited until nine, then drove to several other places looking for him and arrived home a little after 10:00. how long does it take to drive from your ranch to the red coach inn? about 20 minutes, normally. then why did you leave the ranch at 7:00 for an 8:30 appointment? -did you meet someone there? i met george tabor. why, mrs. shelby? i object, your honor. that's improper cross-examination. -your honor, george tabor is the shamrock trainer. mr. burger himself felt that the whereabouts of the shamrock staff was important enough to bring it out in direct examination. only where it bore on matters germane to this case, your honor. if you can show relevancy, mr. mason, i will overrule the objection. -why did you see george tabor before you went on to meet your husband? well, he came back from the trip early. i wanted to find out how it had gone. couldn't you have done that at the ranch when he arrived that morning? he went back into town before i had a chance to talk to him. -mrs. shelby, isn't it true that george tabor had checked into a hotel that afternoon with every intention of not returning to the ranch? yet he called there at 4:00. now, i ask you again, why did you meet george tabor? he called and told me that brad had fired him. i had to see him and straighten it out. -and was he still fired when you left to meet your husband? no, he wasn't. when you told jennifer wakely that she could have her horse back, did you ask her to return the $50,000, or in your sympathy for the girl, did you tell her she didn't have to return the money? mr. mason, my husband was no businessman. it was worth that money, to me, to find out the truth before it was too late. -it had become increasingly apparent to me that i was going to have to take control again, and in running my ranch, i need george tabor. what you mean then, mr. tabor, is that an injury such as you have described, while not apparent superficially, would disable the filly as far as racing is concerned? is that correct? that's right. how did you happen to discover the injury? -well, in the first place, i didn't like the conditions of the sale, and when i finally got to take a close look at the filly, she did favor one leg. she did seem to favor the leg a little, so we ran her, and she came up lame. would you say that running her was the only way to determine the nature of her injury? that's right... aside from an x-ray. -then mr. shelby, not being suspicious and not having x-rayed or run the filly, would have no way of knowing about it? joe mead knew she was lame. mr. tabor, would you mind confining your comments to answering my questions? could even an expert have been able to tell that the filly was suffering from a fracture of the os pedis just by looking at her? i'd say no. -thank you, mr. tabor. and now to put mr. mason's mind at ease, what did you do that night after you saw mrs. shelby? i had dinner, went back to my hotel, and went to bed. and did you stay there all night, sir? yes. -thank you. mr. mason. mr. tabor, assuming that tiger lil were sound and you had wanted to buy her, what would you have considered a fair, even generous, price? she was very promising, but i doubt if i would have gone as high as 10,000. now, in your earlier testimony, precisely what did you mean in saying, -"when i finally got a chance to take a look at the filly"? i started to look her over the morning i got back, but shelby stopped me. he said that could wait, that he had some errands for me to run in town. later, as you know, he came into town and fired me. and after he fired you, you checked into the hotel? -that's right, and he made it pretty clear that i wasn't to pick up my things the next day, when he'd be there. then, if tiger lil had been shipped to mexico the next morning at 6:00, as mr. shelby planned, you'd never have had a chance to look her over. thank you, mr. tabor. i have some questions on re-direct, your honor. mr. tabor, for some reason mr. mason would have us believe that the decedent went to fantastic lengths to keep you from looking at a horse. -now, when you went into that stall and he stopped you by saying that he had errands for you to do in town, did he indeed have errands for you to do in town? he did. and when he fired you, did he give you a reason? did he ever once tell you to stay away from that filly? no. -yes, i understand miss wakely was upset because her filly had been sold, but you knew the filly had been injured in the fire, mr. mead, and was lame. it's hard for me to understand why you kept this a secret. she lost her father in that fire, and i figured that was enough to take in one dose. but, mr. mead, you continued to keep quiet even when the horse came up for sale. certainly that wasn't to spare mr. shelby's feelings, was it? -i didn't have time to tell him even if i wanted to. i didn't know he figured on buying her. that's right. when he picked her up, he was sure in no talking mood. then, as far as you knew at that time, neither mr. shelby nor miss wakely knew the filly was lame. -after you told miss wakely that her filly had been sold, what did she do? she went in the tack room and called her uncle. and did she mention brad shelby to you after making that phone call? well, she was mad, and she didn't mean it. i want to know what she said, mr. mead. -remember, now, you're under oath. what were her words? well, she said, "brad shelby's not going to have tiger lil. i'll get him back if i--" "...if i have to kill him." -perry, there's something i don't understand. if brad shelby paid $50,000 for a horse he knew was lame, he couldn't have thought it was going to last forever, could he? all right, so he fired george tabor. someone else was bound to spot it. your question contains four assumptions, only three of which happen to be true. -don't tell me he didn't know the horse was lame. oh, i think he knew all right, della. knowing was partly why shelby was rushing off to mexico. i guess that he planned to involve tiger lil in some sort of unfortunate accident down there. of course. -if he destroyed the horse, then nobody would know she was lame. well, paul, did you find out? yeah, i found out, and i wish i hadn't. perry, for that girl's sake, just this once i wish you had been wrong. here's the stuff you wanted on emmett pierson's finances. -emmett pierson? oh, no. oh, yes. her only living relative, her legal guardian, and he's sure involved in some sort of a payoff. paul, we've two days until court reconvenes. -i'd like you to take a little trip. well, if it's not asking too much, would you mind telling me where? why don't you start in mexico? mr. mason, are you ready to proceed? joe, you stayed on at the ranch after the fire. -you lived there? that's right. did emmett pierson ever come to the ranch and examine tiger lil? no, he didn't. are you certain? -surely you weren't there all of the time. well, no. were you ever away when emmett pierson knew you would be gone? y-yeah, i was-- the day i took the mares to the auction, just three days before tiger lil was sold. you sure mr. pierson knew that you would be gone? -he's the one who told me to go. mr. pierson, before we get down to matters that actually pertain to this case,. let's see if we can once again clear the atmosphere of the confusing innuendos with which mr. mason continually tries to obscure the simple facts. did you ever deliberately order joe mead away from wakely ranch for the purpose of examining tiger lil in secret? as a matter of fact, i did. -oh. just a minute, mr. pierson, you never discussed this with me. you mean you-- you examined the filly before the sale? you knew she was lame? yes, sir. -did you tell mr. shelby? he said he wanted to buy the horse because he felt he owed jennifer something for... treating her the way he did. oh, you mean the sale of the horse was actually a cover-up for a gift. yes, sir. now, mr. pierson, think carefully. -did miss wakely know the horse was lame? no, sir. then nothing's been changed, has it? it still remains a simple fact that when the defendant met brad shelby at the stable that night, she was taking back what she thought was a sound and promising race horse, and her way was being blocked by the man she hated. i have no further questions of this witness at this time, your honor. -mr. mason. mr. pierson, you were named executor of howard wakely's estate, were you not? yes, sir. what shape was that estate in? will there be enough left to provide for jennifer? -well, actually, after taxes and-- taxes, mr. pierson? inheritance taxes? well, i-- not inheritance taxes, no, but-- income taxes, mr. pierson, the three years of income taxes -howard wakely still owed the government when he died? are those the taxes you were going to refer to? yes. and then there was the matter of the mortgage on the property, both cars, and just about every tangible asset your brother-in-law owned. is all this necessary? -hasn't the poor child been hurt enough? have those overdue taxes been paid? yes. mortgage on the house been paid up? yes. -where did you get the money for all this, mr. pierson? basically from the sale of the horse. from the sale of the horse, mr. pierson, or was that money yours? no, no, no, you're-- as obviously fond as you seem to be of your niece, mr. pierson, and knowing how deeply attached she was to her horse tiger lil, tell me this-- why did you agree to sell the filly? -he wanted it. he bought it. so he did, mr. pierson. so he did, for $50,000. that was the price, wasn't it? -the court reporter can't record a movement of your head, mr. pierson. you'll have to answer vocally. now, $50,000 was the price for tiger lil, wasn't it? yes. why then, on the day brad shelby gave you a check for $50,000, did you liquidate your entire life's savings-- your bank accounts, bonds and stock, your real estate, every penny you had? -to whom did you give your life's savings? to whom did you give $40,000 in cash? your honor, i should like to recall roberta harper to the stand. you were secretary to jennifer's father, howard wakely, for two years. during that time, did the late howard wakely ever receive from an insurance doctor a report on the physical condition of his brother-in-law emmett pierson? -yes, i think he did-- yes, i'm sure of it. mr. pierson was trying to take out a big policy on his own life, naming his niece, jennifer, as beneficiary. "trying," roberta? he was turned down, i think. -an uninsurable man, trying to help his niece, worried about her security. had emmett pierson ever been involved in any business dealings-- where a race horse was concerned-- with the late howard wakely? no, not that i know of. had he ever been involved in a race horse deal with brad shelby? i was brad shelby's wife for a short period of time, not his secretary. -i know of no such deals. since you were howard wakely's secretary, i assume that where he was concerned, you were a little more familiar with his business dealings? yes, that's right. as secretary, you typed letters, took messages, placed and received many phone calls? -yes. would you say you were familiar with the voices of the people who called often during that time, familiar enough to identify them, i mean? yes, by all means. who were some of those who called more or less regularly? well, mr. pierson and dr. orson, -mr. wakely's broker mr. atkins, brad shelby called, and madelon haines-- mrs. shelby, that is-- and jennifer, of course. then, roberta, the telephone call jennifer received in your apartment the night of the murder-- you knew it was madelon. you knew it was madelon who called jennifer. -why did you lie to me? madelon shelby knew she was talking to you when she called to tell jennifer to come and get her horse. why did you lie to miss street and me? why did you say you didn't know the identity of the woman who had called jennifer? i must have made a mistake. -just like the mistake brad shelby made by marrying madelon haines, thinking you had divorced him? i did divorce him. did you? where? in mexico. -my investigator checked in mexico. he found out you started divorce proceedings seven years ago and suddenly dropped the action. you never got the divorce. no, i didn't. seven years ago, when i met brad, -i thought he had money, was rich. he fooled me-- tricked me! he took every cent i'd scrimped and saved. $10,000 he took from me, and then he walked out, and he left me alone and broke. i started a divorce, and then i changed my mind. -some day he'd want that divorce and and he'd pay for it, pay good. when he married madelon haines and found out you'd never divorced him, how much did you ask him to pay? $40,000. the 40,000 in cash emmett pierson gave brad shelby? mr. pierson was going to turn over his life savings to jennifer anyway, so it was an easy way for him to get an extra $10,000 for her, and it was a way for brad to write off $50,000 of madelon's money. -it was to obtain the quick divorce you had refused to go through with. yes. and lying to me about that call-- that was to keep me from going to the shamrock stables that night because you had a date to meet brad shelby and collect your $40,000. roberta, before you killed him... did he give you the money? yes, i have the money, still have it. -he was drunk, ugly. after he gave me the money, he heard jennifer take her horse out of the stable. he ran after her. he grabbed at her. she ran away toward the house. -i stopped him after she threw the spreader and missed him. i was scared. i was scared for jennifer. i threatened to tell madelon if he didn't leave the girl alone. he was furious. -he said, as long as i lived, i was a threat, i could tell madelon that their marriage wasn't legal. i said, "i'll give you back the money." i'd go away, i'd get the divorce, i'd never even see him again. he just kept shaking his head and grinning. -he'd make sure. that's what he said. he'd make sure that i'd never be in the way. i-- i was scared. -i picked up the spreader... jenny, believe me, i was frightened for you, but i couldn't say anything without giving back the money. d-don't you see? the money's mine. -it's mine. roberta had a sick, desperate need for money, for security, so she stole from your brother-in-law's accounts. i spotted the false entries on the books-- $10,000 missing. jenny had suffered enough already. -i couldn't let her think her father was dishonest. i had to cover it at any cost. what- what made you suspect roberta, mr. mason? i believed that jennifer was telling the truth, so someone else had to have been there that night. -when i realized that roberta had lied about that call, when we found that she had begun a divorce action in mexico and then stopped it, it wasn't too difficult to put the whole story together. agreeing to shelby's proposition was a hard decision, mr. mason. i knew it was morally, if not legally, wrong, but i was desperate. tiger lil was jennifer's only asset. was? -looks as though she's still an asset. what? isn't it wonderful? lil's going to be a mother. prospective father-- the shamrock's best. -so we could start our new stables with a new blood line, that is if you'll be my partner, uncle emmett? so long. why aren't you playing, robbie? look! there's something floating out there. -oh, pretty good. let's throw stones at it. this is more fun that playing ball. ─ what do you suppose it is? i bet my aim is better than yours. -─ i got the best aim in my class. but you're not as good as we are. ─ i am, too. hey mister, look at that. check it out. -─ it's a neat thing. it sure is. that's a funny-looking fish. oh. ah! -oh. a dead man. wait here. why don't you watch where you're going? ─ sorry, governor. -no harm .. go along. did mr holmes tell you when he'd be coming back, doctor? well, i expect he'll be back about 9 o'clock, mrs hudson. it's just striking 9 now, dr watson. i've a beautiful roast beef in the oven and i don't want it to burn. -well, i'm sure it will be delicious whatever time you have it mrs hudson. i'm worried about mr holmes. i fear he is gravely neglecting his health. yes, i quite agree. he keeps working so very hard and he eats next to nothing. -maybe it would be wise for him to see a doctor? oh, i think he's had enough of doctors with me as his fellow lodger. a doctor like you deserves a more obedient patient. a housekeeper like mrs hudson deserves masters who can appreciate her cooking. fortunately sir, you appreciate it, don't you. -i certainly do if that's any consolation to you. help .. help! what was that? help .. help! oh my goodness. -─ give me a hand. oh, but mr holmes ordered that nobody should come in the house in his absence. i can't help that. get some water. now .. now, where is my bag? -it's down in your car. ─ oh, so it is. where is he? in the bedroom. good evening, watson. -─ holmes! oh, you scared me half out of my wits, mr holmes. i thought i made it entirely clear .. that under no circumstance would anybody be allowed in here without my permission. but you looked as though you were dying. -─ there can be no exceptions, watson. oh, good heavens, my roast! now, where is the shipping column? the shipping column? ─ uhuh. -now what are you doing? ─ i'm looking for the liner movements. the liner movements? hmm .. here we are. "thaysia" .. just docked. -karachi, suez, benghazi. what comes from benghazi, watson? arabs. there were no arabs on board. ─ oh. -a new case, holmes? an old friend of ours has been going to the docks recently. waiting about for all the ships coming from benghazi. oh. an old friend? -who? moriarty. and i intend to find out why. but holmes. we all know that moriarty is the greatest criminal in the country. -why don't the police do something about him? take care, watson. if it came to the professor's ear that you .. called him a criminal, you'll be sued for slander. but we know .. -knowing .. and proving a thing are two very different matters, watson. as i need hardly remind you. it's my duty to bring him to justice. and how do you propose to do that? with the help of the times. -all i could possibly need to know is in the times. it's the best informed and most reliable newspaper in the world. ─ oh, yes. the most reliable. ─ now, watson. what is the purpose of the times? -why, to supply information. ─ exactly. and also, to advertise. that's why the advertisements are on the front page none of this nonsense about sensational headlines to whet the reader's appetite. -and then after the advertisements, what is the next most important thing? the sports page. brilliant, watson. the weather, the arts. the news. -shipping news. and finally .. yes, finally .. politics. the times is also the least obvious and most efficient weapon a man could have. now .. pick up that dagger. the dagger? -─ go on, pick it up. alright, and now what am i supposed to do? try and hit me. hit you? holmes, are you feeling yourself? -come along, watson. there's nothing to worry about. you won't hurt me. come on. no, i can't. -really, i .. ─ very well then. try it from there. now. here .. come on. -nothing to worry about old man. no, i'll tear your dressing gown, you know. watson, for the last time. here, on guard. ─ alright, if you insist. -help! don't move, watson. you had better keep the dinner warm, mrs hudson. watson, get the morphine. quick. -mrs hudson, be good enough to telephone scotland yard as quickly as you can. ask for inspector cooper and tell him i want him here immediately. of course, mr holmes. immediately. jenkins .. who did this? -who did this to you? hair. hair? this time you're going too far, holmes. ─ how am i going too far, inspector? -i find a man stabbed to death on my doorstep, so naturally i send for you. oh, we know all about this jenkins. he's served at least twelve sentences in prison. i have no sympathy with informers. he may not have been a very respectable member of the community, inspector. -but he was of considerable help to us. and i trusted him. indeed. i am sure you did, holmes. but what is particularly interesting is. -that your private investigation has now been fatal to him. a serious accusation. are you by any chance proposing to arrest me on a charge of murder? scotland yard has often requested your help, as you know, mr holmes. however this time, no request has been made. -under no circumstances can we sanction your undertaking private investigations. without having received official authorization. i am not employed by scotland yard, inspector. i am a private citizen. i do what i believe to be right, and i will accept all responsibility for it. -this country has a police force and a legal system for citizen's protection. and nobody has the right to take them all into his own hands, holmes. you only step in after a crime has been committed. i, on the other hand do my very best to prevent any before it takes place. hmm. -you just proved how capable you are. we are fighting a war with moriarty and i propose to continue it. with our without the sanction of scotland yard. we will be pleased to coöperate, holmes. if you informed us of your activities. -that's precisely what i'm doing. professor moriarty must be brought to justice. ha ha. here we go again, holmes. you know, the last time you lectured me about that .. -professor of yours, i finally decided i ought to pay him a personal visit. we had a most interesting conversation. ─ about his criminal activities? no. about archaeology. -aha, so you are an archaeologist, too? i confess i didn't understand a word. the professor is an excellent lecturer. have you been in his house? ─ yes. -it is extraordinary. there is magnificent things in it. have you ever asked yourself how he can afford all that .. on the salary of a university professor? oh, he comes from a wealthy family. -the professor's brother is a station master in the west country. when he himself came to london, he didn't have a penny in his pocket. and yet he manages to spend at least ten thousand pounds a year. where do you suppose it comes from, inspector? from forgery, robbery and burglary? -and murder! and i intend to prove it. i think it might interest you to learn. that professor moriarty is on the list this year of those to be knighted. did you accuse sir james moriarty of murder, mr holmes? -it would give me the greatest pleasure, inspector, to see the knight hanged. take my warning, holmes. you do not stand for the law. we do. you are welcome to do so, inspector. -good day. good day. cooper isn't really a bad detective, watson. he just lacks imagination. why do you suppose jenkins was killed while he was coming here? -he was bringing me some information. it must have been important information if somebody was prepared to kill him. it was. he tried to tell me something before he died. yes. -his last word was "hair" wasn't it? yes, it was. and then he did something strange with his hands. i've got it. watson, come around here. -pick up the lamp. turn it round so that the light shines on my hand. that's it. now look at the wall. look at the shadow. -what does that make you think of? a bird. ─ go on. what kind of a bird? ─ a pretty large bird. -you're getting warm. an eagle? ─ that's it. a hare and an eagle. a hare and an eagle. -what does that remind you of, watson? a public house. brilliant, my dear fellow. positively brilliant. george, when does your ship leave again? -let's sit here, watson. what are we meant to do now we're here? ─ patience, watson. patience. well i suppose we can have a drink or something. -oh yes .. very well. yes, gentlemen? ─ two half pints of bitter, please. well, i wonder why jenkins sent us here. that's what we're here to find out, my boy. -a strange atmosphere in this place you know. two half pints of bitter. see those men over there? those sailors from the thaysia. if i remember correctly, our professor is more than interested in the thaysia. -oh, you mean the ship from benghazi? ─ precisely. which room are they in? ─ number four. you stay here, watson. -wait a minute. i say .. well, then he said he had to bring his mother along, too. after all .. well hello there, sweetheart. -hello. ─ how about a little drink? do i know you? no handsome, not yet. but we can fix that in a hurry. -ah, yes. i'm quite sure. what will you drink? i'm partial to champagne. it puts me in the mood. -why, you have what you wish. yes, order anything you wish. ─ you know handsome, you're a real gent. i absolutely adore men who are shy. especially at your age. -oh, i'm a married man, you know. ─ oh? all of the real men are already married, dearie. the ones who aren't are always the ones that nobody wants around. champagne. -champagne. i feel like confiding in you. ─ hmm? my mother is in the hospital. they tell me she needs an operation. -─ tut, tut. maybe you could help me? ─ certainly i could. you really mean it? ─ of course .. -i'm a doctor. i'll operate on her. for nothing. and i'll cut you up too, if you like. my goodness, you're a doctor. -what are you doing in here? me? ─ uhuh. i am a spy. i watch .. and i follow. -and i listen .. at the keyhole. shush. come along, watson. come along. ─ oh, holmes. -i was just .. where are we going? ─ we are going to listen at a chimney. what did you say? ─ we are going to listen at a chimney. -it's quite logical, surely? ─ oh yes. yes, of course. we're going to listen at a chimney. shush. -i hope you're satisfied with your room, daniel. yes, it's quite comfortable. in comparison to the one i spent the last six years in, that is. i've been waiting for you for a week. if i'd had my way i would have come back to london six years ago, professor. -it's no fun being cooped up in prison in egypt. it was pure misery. they were six long years. from morning until night they keep you working on road construction. in the sweltering heat. -where is harrison? ─ dead, professor. ah, but wasn't he on the thaysia? ─ naturally. one evening he tried to push me overboard, but .. -he slipped on the deck and fell overboard himself. you must have given him a little assistance? yes, of course. after all, i was only defending myself. it was my life or his. -he's no loss. let the fish have him. well, well. poor old harrison. hmm. -samuels, i have located the man we are looking for. the man we're looking for? where is he? one moment. first, we have things to discuss. -"without me, the deal wouldn't exist." "besides, i'm going to do all the dirty work." "i've worked out all the details. it will be a very simple job." "a simple job, but only i can do it, professor!" -"those are my terms, daniel. take them or leave them." sixty percent for you. not bad. consider what the cleopatra necklace is going to bring. -i think you're forgetting what it cost for your release from that chain-gang. the price i paid were those six years. "i suppose i have no choice. alright, what of the plot?" we must get rid of blackburn first and then you do your job. -have you any idea what you're asking? where is blackburn? in a house outside of london. it's not far from .. shush. -shush. shush. alright watson, you had your little joke. now come along. there was somebody listening. -the police? i doubt it. well, holmes. never take a clumsy old doctor along with you. i got all the information i require, watson. -blackburn. thaysia. up to now, there has been one murder. ─ no, two. one of the sailors on the thaysia was stabbed to death and thrown overboard. -how do you know that? don't you ever read the times, watson? it's often advisable to do so when you want to know anything. moriarty was after a man named blackburn who lives in the country. he sent for two men from africa and one of them killed the other one. -the question is. what is he after? well, hadn't we better turn the whole case over to scotland yard? what case? the jenkins case? -they know all about that one. the blackburn case? which hasn't even happened yet. and the moriarty case, which they refuse to believe. let's go. -─ where are we going? to the offices of the times. here is your breakfast. sorry, mrs hudson, but we'll be back for lunch. thank you. -just what are you looking for? we have to find out when moriarty was in egypt, watson. ah. oh, miss. will you please bring me volume 105? -─ one moment, i'll get it. thank you. we shall soon know. holmes, couldn't you be .. just a little less mysterious? you know my methods, watson. -here you are. ─ thank you. august .. september. now then. -this is it. here we are. here. "discovery of cleopatra's tomb." "world experts in consultation." -"in el faiyum, a group of english and egyptian archaeologists .." "have discovered a tomb containing treasure." "the tomb is believed to be that of cleopatra." "professor moriarty." "eminent english archaeologist." -yes, go on. well go on, holmes. a moment, watson. "thefts of priceless treasures." "following the reported theft of priceless treasures from the tomb." -"two english engineers named harrison and samuels have been arrested." "a third .." "peter blackburn." "has disappeared at the same time as a casket of gold and precious stones .." "containing a golden necklace which belonged to cleopatra herself." -watson, we must prevent another murder. holmes, i just don't know what you're talking about. there isn't a moment to be lost, man. ─ where are we going now? to a delightful little hertfordshire village by the name of barnett. -a hertfordshire village? it's peter's gun. ─ he's hunting again. he must be stopped. if we don't stop him, we let a madman run wild. -he's as sane as we are. so why doesn't he call the police if his life is threatened? threatened by whom? why doesn't he tell us? i've no idea. -why don't you let me take you away? ─ he is my husband. i can't just run away as if i were free. no. but there is another way out. -you don't owe peter anything. his fears have killed his love for you, and besides he's dangerous. i'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you. what are we to do? he got away. -peter, why don't you confide in us? you must tell us what you're afraid of. ─ if you don't, we can't possibly help. how often must i tell you my life is in danger? why won't you or the police believe it? -you are seeing ghosts. ghosts? ghosts that hide behind bushes and then drive away in cars? oh but we do believe you, we do peter. you need help, peter and not only from the police. -ah yes, you mean a doctor, of course? don't think that you are fooling me. i know exactly what you both would like. you are trying to find a way to get rid of me. i can't go on like this any longer. -we seem to be living in a trap. what and who are you afraid of? we hide away here in this terrible old house? what are we hiding from? won't you say what you're afraid of once and for all? -how can we help you if you have no confidence in either of us? i am your wife. not your enemy. don't you trust even me? no. -i trust nobody on this earth. nobody. it's no use. what are we to do? don't worry, ellen. -leave it to me. goodnight emily. ─ goodnight. miss. hartley hall is in this locality i believe? -yes, sir. it's down the street and straight ahead. you're not thinking of buying it, are you? it's been unsold for quite some time. ─ we're not buyers. -does mr blackburn still live there? ─ yes, sir. i wonder if you can tell us the name of the local police inspector. inspector french. ─ inspector french? -that's right. ─ would you kindly telephone him. tell him mr sherlock holmes would like to see him here immediately. it's a matter of the greatest importance. mr holmes? -yes. and you are inspector french? ─ that's right. delighted to meet you. how do you do? -doctor watson. would you care to sit down and join us for a beer? with pleasure. can i have a beer please, miss? ─ straight away. -now, what can i do for you, mr holmes? mr blackburn is the tenant of hartley hall is he not? he is. am i right in assuming that he is in constant fear for his life? as a matter of fact he's in contact with the police at least once every month. -in that case i think we should get out to hartley hall immediately. you mean right now? ─ right now, inspector. hello? just a minute. -for you, inspector. ─ for me? ah yes. thanks, emily. french speaking. -yes, naturally. i'll be there right away. peter blackburn is dead. the head is completely shattered. shot at close range, don't you know. -we'll leave everything as we found it, until the police and scotland yard come. inspector cooper telephoned to say that he'd be right along. by all means, let us leave everything to inspector cooper. where were you when mr blackburn met his death? i was in my room. -i was doing some reading before turning in. then i heard a shot, and i ran downstairs. was the door open? ─ no. aha .. the murderer broke in through the french windows. -he set flypaper on the pane so the piece of glass wouldn't make any noise. it's unquestionably a professional job. what did you find when you went to the room, mr king? that. did you see anyone running away? -no, i didn't. ─ where was mrs blackburn? up in her room. i told her to stay there because i didn't want her to see this. do you think he committed suicide? -well. that pane of glass was pushed in from the outside. there are traces of blood here. the murderer must have stepped in it. so that leaves no doubt whatsoever. -mr blackburn surprised a burglar and was killed. the culprit then ran away leaving the murder weapon behind. scotland yard will surely make the same deduction. it's not quite as simple as that, inspector. peter was rehanging that picture over the fireplace yesterday. -that's why the hammer was here. why did the intruder leave this ring? it appears to be of value. i guess he was frightened and overlooked it. where is mrs blackburn now? -─ she's upstairs. she's .. terribly upset, naturally. no doubt, inspector cooper will take her statement. but why did the killer take blackburn's wedding ring? -maybe he didn't wear one? oh that's right. i can't remember peter wearing a wedding ring. no. then i suggest we send for the butler. -ask the butler to come here. oh, there you are. did mr blackburn wear his wedding ring above or below the serpent ring? below the serpent ring, sir. ─ you're quite sure? -i would swear to it. we shall see what the inspector thinks of that. watson. i seem to remember some very interesting trees in the garden. and i'd rather like to take a closer look at them. -what about you? oh yes .. yes. if you're looking for trees they're right in front of you. that will be scotland yard. yes. -inspector cooper, no doubt. ─ don't you want to see him? no, not yet. what do you suppose that is? it looks remarkably like a grave. -a grave? but that's not large enough to bury a dog. careful, watson. don't spoil the footprints. leave that to the inspector. -─ but what can possibly be buried there? clothes. very old clothes. old clothes? i see. -he must have tried to defend himself with the hammer. precisely, inspector. a faultless deduction. ah so you knew about this murder too, mr holmes? knew? -no. but i suspected that it would occur. were you acquainted with the deceased? ─ i was not. i heard him mentioned for the first time quite recently -by whom? by a distinguished archaeologist whose name is moriarty. ah, so you naturally assume hat he's the murderer? i'm afraid it is not quite as simple as all that, inspector. the gentleman in question has a perfect alibi. -"professor moriarty, the famous archaeologist." "will deliver a lecture on egyptian antiquities at 8 o'clock tonight." "at the pen club." and blackburn was killed between 9 and 10 o'clock? correct. -so it cannot possibly be moriarty. the lecture is over at 11. well, we know blackburn was murdered before 11. have you any brilliant ideas? i never deliver a theory, inspector, without all the facts at my disposal. -mrs blackburn. you say that your husband feared for his life. is that correct? do you happen to know whom he feared? ─ i don't. -may i take the liberty of asking you a personal question? yes. ─ were you happily married? you have no right to ask such a question. i was speaking to mrs blackburn. -may i have your answer? i loved my husband. where are you going? i'm going after somebody out there. ─ i saw him to. -have patience, ellen. oh why didn't peter confide in us? it looks as if his ghosts were real after all. watson! you nearly broke my arm. -what's going on? did you catch him? ─ watson nearly caught me. it's ridiculous to search any more in the dark. inspector, please alert the police in this district .. and that of st albans. -to block all the roads and put a guard at the railway station. would you please give me your right shoe, mr king? why? your right shoe, mr king. thank you. -wouldn't you agree holmes .. that these footprints may have come from this slipper? oh, undoubtedly. the prints lead to the door. again, quite correct. -well, mr king? i must have stepped in it, i guess. when i went to the door. really? wasn't it more likely that you .. -took out the pane of the window from the outside to make it look like a burglary. and returned inside to do the murder? paul couldn't possibly have done such a crime. that's what we shall see. ─ one moment, inspector. -i'll have to ask you please, not to interfere in this, mr holmes. i merely wish to point out that the footprints do not stop at the door. mr king's footprints lead to a heap of earth over there. ah. this clothing is perfect evidence. -mr king, why did you bury these garments and to whom do they belong? mrs blackburn, i trust you can furnish the information that mr king will not. mrs blackburn had nothing to do with it. mrs blackburn .. mr king. -will you please follow me. i am forced to take you both to london with me i am afraid. you have indeed reconstructed the case correctly, inspector. my compliments on your perspicacity. and now perhaps, mrs blackburn will be good enough to say what really happened. -i .. well, i had just turned the lights off. when. where is peter? ─ i have no idea. -i'm going down. ─ i'm going to come too. sorry .. we've got things to do. ─ what is all this? ellen, go to your room. -─ peter, what happened? he came up from behind me. fortunately, i had the hammer in my hand. ─ the hammer? what are you doing with that gun? -i'll call the police. ─ no! but the man is dead. who is he? you .. you must help me. -what do you expect me to do? first .. we must get him undressed. what do you intend? ellen, get out of here, please! get out! -blackburn shot away the man's face to make the police think it was him. he put his serpent ring on the finger but was unable to get his wedding ring off. mr king then buried the clothes. which accounts for his footprints. peter wanted to be declared dead officially. -he wanted us to begin a new life. i'm not yet convinced of the fact that the deceased is not peter blackburn. no. look at this man's hand. dark .. tanned skin. -callouses all over the fingers and the palms of the hand. the hand of a man who has done considerable manual labour. this could not possibly be peter blackburn. this is senseless, ellen. peter can't stay hidden away for ever. -come on, inspector. there is a secret room over here. peter. open up. peter. -peter .. it's me .. ellen. peter. a knife without a handle. the same as with jenkins. ─ hmm. -what are you cleaning out your pipe now for? "m o r." before blackburn died, he tried to write the name of his murderer on the table. obviously with his wedding ring: m o r. -does that convey anything to you, inspector? m-o-r ..? many words begin with m o r. morgue, morning. ─ or moriarty. -you told us that moriarty had an alibi. ─ dear inspector, blackburn had a secret. moriarty wanted it, and when he'd gotten it, he had him murdered. do you know the secret, holmes? ─ naturally. -i read the times. well, charles. samuels? ─ no, blackburn. he'd already taken care of samuels for us. -i always maintained that samuels would come to a bad end. even in egypt he was a troublemaker. and if anybody is stupid enough to ask for forty percent, well .. charles, i also maintain greed will get you nowhere. do you follow me, charles? -─ naturally, professor. i say, i'm awfully sorry. my foot slipped the clutch. just look at what you've done to my car. ─ now you control yourself. -there isn't much damage. ─ oh no? what's this all about? this stupid idiot bumps smack into my car. how dare you! -you mind your language. your licenses, please. that's right, officer. take his name. he'll have to take care of the damages. -hello. i say .. are you free? ─ yes, sir. will you take me to park lane road? ─ certainly, sir. -move your cars please. thank you for your kindness, constable. you are most understanding. my keys! my keys are gone! -─ really? well, i'll help you find them. yes, hello. ha ha. would you be good enough to wait over there until i return? -over there. charles. ha ha .. you don't expect to find them under there. unless you stole them and put them there. ─ what would i do with your keys? -taxi. here you are. i beg your pardon. 9 hartley road. hurry. -aha. what have we here? ah, the times. what's the surprise for today? you told me you always find something of import in it. -today it contains something very special. really? what? ─ look for yourself. ah .. the famous necklace. -precisely. the necklace and the casket. that's why peter blackburn was murdered. you've solved the case holmes. right under the noses of the police. -it isn't solved yet. i'm simply getting the evidence together to hang moriarty. gentlemen, i am highly disappointed. i am not at all impressed. this blatant lack of discipline in our midst. -could make me undertake measures .. that you would find most regrettable. we weren't given orders to guard the necklace. i require personal initiative. do you realize the consequences of failure .. -in this organization? charles? ─ yes, professor. come in here. come in, i say! -shut the door. where have you been? i had a slight accident. an old idiot drove right into me. but there isn't much damage. -─ where is the car? i came by cab so i wouldn't be late. ─ i see. but i thought you said there was very little damage? ah, yes. -only i couldn't find the keys afterwards. you traitor! you are the fool to whom we owe our failure. they set a trap for you and you fell right in to it. of who, professor? -sherlock holmes. you are mistaken. but it isn't a daimler. that wasn't sherlock holmes. the man driving the daimler was his friend, watson. -and meanwhile, holmes stole the keys to the car. and then came here. would you like to become acquainted with this little plaything, charles? i can only hope that holmes has gathered enough evidence. to hang you for blackburn's murder, charles. -that's all you deserve. gentlemen, i trust your are sufficiently intelligent .. that i need not convince you that the necklace be recovered with utmost speed. you have exactly 48 hours. i believe i shall turn over the supervision of this mission. -to one of our most far-sighted and reliable collaborators. inform the doctor immediately. i take it that you are now convinced inspector .. that professor moriarty's activities are not entirely legitimate. it's incredible. -a world famous authority on archaeology. a common thief. and a murderer. ─ precisely. yes? -oh, professor moriarty. this is indeed a pleasant surprise. mr holmes doesn't seem as pleased as yourself, inspector. do you know this gentleman? yes, we have already had the pleasure. -am i welcome to join you? ─ please do. we met in court, as i recall. the perry case? really? -perry? yes, quite so. the name escaped me for a minute. a burglary case, wasn't it? yes. -perry stole some jewellery in milan. of course you didn't know anything about it. naturally not, mr holmes. the jury was quite convinced at the time, as you will recall. and this necklace. -has it also been stolen? yes, it has. i must confess that this is the reason for my visit here today, inspector. that is the missing cleopatra necklace in its original casket. it disappeared over six years ago during our excavations in egypt. -where was it located? ─ in your study, professor. my study? naturally, you don't know anything about that, either. even though your men stole it for you, and murdered blackburn into the bargain. -inspector, i will not permit anyone to insult me in this crass fashion. unfortunately for you, professor, mr holmes can prove his statement. that casket was found in your study .. in a mummy's case. you know inspector, this gentleman reads too many detective stories. sherlock holmes has tried to slander me on several occasions. -but his accusations have always been a fiction. i would be delighted if he would search for this mummy case in my study. i assure you there is none. do feel free to investigate, inspector. in any event i'm pleased these priceless jewels are in the right hands. -no doubt you will turn it over to the egyptian government. the egyptians will be informed of its recovery, professor. and where do you say you were when you heard the shot, miss? i was in the ladies'. and how long did it take you to get from there to the board room here? -oh, about two minutes. and when you got here, apart from the deceased, there was no one here. no. i see. -well, uh, i think that will be all for the moment. thank you, miss. i'm glad you're back from the isle of wight, mrs. gale. would you be kind enough to let us know if you're going away in future? how long am i under that restriction? -until our inquiries are complete. oh, thank you, miss. how do you feel this morning, jean? terrible. i couldn't sleep all night. -does miss ellis know? yes. mr. young's with her now. poor old man. i can't believe anyone would want to kill him. -oh, jean, if you're finished with the police, you can go home if you like. you can't feel much like work today. thank you, miss ellis, but don't you want me to prepare the stuff for the shareholders' meeting this morning? no, that's all right. i'll get a temporary in. -i'll see you tomorrow, then. all right. i'd forgot there even is a shareholders' meeting this afternoon. we adjourned it from last time, if you remember. well, doreen, can't we postpone it? -i mean, nobody can expect us to hold meetings under these circumstances. if we do postpone it, we risk losing their support. well, what on earth are we going to tell them? exactly what's happened so far and the lengths to which we believe cade has gone to get hold of this firm. well, i think we owe that to the shareholders, -don't you, mrs. gale? yes, i think you're right. but do we have enough outside shares now that we don't have the brigadier? but we've still got the brigadier's vote, so we're back where we started. mrs. gale's shares are still the vital 20% that can win or lose us this firm. -yes, i'm sure cathy realizes that. yes, of course. (telephone ringing) i'm sure cade realizes as well. hello? -yes, it is. yes, i could do that, mr. cade. when? all right. goodbye. -he wants me to go and see him. well, you're not going, surely? well, why not? well, you know he'll try and do a deal with you. i imagine that's what's in his mind. -i'll go and see. you got my broker on the line yet? woman: not yet, sir. we're trying him at the stock exchange. -oh, just a moment. that might be him now. yes. we're putting him on to you now, sir. (rings) -hello. what the devil happened to the anderson ordinary? well, it's down 3 shillings since last night's closing. what? ! -oh, but that's ridiculous. yes! yes, yes, i understand. well, at least it may panic someone into selling if it does nothing else. if they do, be ready to snap it up. -well, of course we're still buying. everything we can get. mrs. gale for you, mr. cade. oh, yes. send her up. -i have already. oh, come in. i don't want to be disturbed for at least 10 minutes. sit down. read this. -well, what do you make of it? it looks as though anderson stock has taken a nasty fall. yes, it does, doesn't it? you're a director of the company. have you any idea why? -i'd only be guessing. guess. the city thinks your takeover bid is going to fail, so the shares are returning to normal. and why should they think that my bid is going to fail? you know the city better than i do. -you tell me. three anderson directors have died since i started bidding for the company. well, the-the city thinks i'm going to get cold feet and pull out rather than face any more bad publicity. and will you? no. -the city is wrong. i intend stepping up my bid for anderson's. now that the exchange has depressed the value of the shares, i'll be able to buy cheaper. so you're not worried about your bad publicity? not in the least. -even if the rest of you wind up dead, this won't make the slightest bit of difference to me. you're really trying to impress me with your lack of morality, aren't you? mrs. gale, you make me laugh. you talk of morality. suddenly i'm supposed to feel sorry because three men have their brains blown out? -three men who devoted a lifetime to making armaments and lived comfortably on the dividends? if you want my opinion on your three co-directors, i think they met with a fitting end. i'm surprised to find you with ideals. i can afford ideals. -i'm also a realist. i hope you are, too. anderson ordinary down to 35 and 6. you see, whilst we've been talking, you have lost over £2,500 on your investment. now, you told me last time that you're a speculator. -a shrewd speculator would sell before those shares drop any further. is that all you asked me here for? i'm prepared to offer you last night's closing price. i give you points for trying. first anderson, then williamson, then reynolds. -now me. what do you mean? you've offered to buy out each director in turn, and so far each one has refused. who said they refused me? i took it for granted. -don't take anything for granted in this business. i offered them all 25,000 or the share price to sell out to me privately. each one of them found the bribe too big to refuse. then how was it you weren't able to take over that firm days ago? because within half an hour of accepting my offer, each one of them was dead. -they didn't even have a chance to ring their brokers. in the case of the brigadier, i gather he was killed within 10 minutes of my leaving the building. whoever shot him must have been very close to him in more ways than one. tell me, mr. cade, what's the first thing you do when you take over a firm? pay off all the directors. -get rid of them. then? fire all the executive staffs. get my accountants in to go through the books. so, if there were any irregularity in the firm, you'd find it out. -i'd know if there was a ha'penny short on the stamp book. how much were you offering me for my stock? 43 shillings. if i sold you my 20% plus the 40% you already hold, that would give you a majority vote. it would give me anderson's. -then i think it's worth more than 43 shillings. 43 and 3? settle for 43 and 6. it's a deal. oh, just one thing. -don't you get yourself killed before you've rung your broker, will you? give me the phone. be my guest. i'm gonna take a shower. (exhales) 43 and 6? -well, we bought at 32 and 6. that's-that's 11 shillings' profit per share. (exhales) 29,000 shares. 29 by 11 goes... 319. hey, that's £6,000. -oh, it's nice to have money coming in. now, listen, according to a contact of mine in tangiers, an order for a fairly large consignment of arms was placed with a smuggling gang a few days ago. then things may move quickly this end, particularly when they learn that cade's taking over. oh, listen, did you find out anything about our friend karl? he's high on the wanted list for the same racket in france. -he's also a killer, so try and keep out of his way. i'll try. young: 15 dozen rifles, a dozen light mortars? this is impossible. karl: -why? well, to take quantities like that in one go would be risky at the best of times. at this point, they're bound to be missed. they've never been missed before. we've never had anybody checking up before. -what he means is he's never had mrs. gale sneaking into cupboards before. that's your problem, young. we want this stuff and we want it quickly. and it's worth £5,000 to you, and that's payable as usual on delivery. -i won't do it while all this takeover nonsense is going on. now, look, we've got to keep cade's hands off this firm. otherwise the whole thing will be blown sky high. we've done our best to help you with that, haven't we? yes, in your own crude way. -then what's the problem? mrs. gale? no. at least, i don't think she'll sell out on us. wishful thinking was always dougie's strong point. -i thought you were going into town today. i am. then why aren't you getting ready? will you drive me in, karl? no, i'm going to stay here and keep an eye on things. -in that case, i don't think i'll bother. go and get ready. you know, if you were firmer with your wife, young, you'd find her a lot more cooperative. that's none of your business, but she is still my wife, and i'll thank you to remember that, especially when there are other people around. i'm not interested in your wife, young. -i just find our attachment a way of keeping you in order. but if you show willing and get me those arms i need, i shan't have to do that, shall i? there is an order being created for an army depot this morning. good. -how are you going to handle it? i'll have the whole lot taken down to the butts on the grounds that we have to do some spot-checking. they can all be collected from there, but i shall need some extra transport. all right, i'll see to that. of course, the original consignment note will have to be altered to cover the loss until we can make it up from stock. -that'll be taken care of, too. anything else you need? yes. shareholders' meeting. i've got to be there this afternoon, otherwise it'll look suspicious. -that means that i cannot be aboard here to see it loaded. i'll see to that. now, just you get that load for me. i'll see to everything else. including mrs. gale, if you like. -(chatter) mr. young not here yet? not yet. he's been out supervising a delivery today, but he should be here any moment. i see. -well, how did you get on with cade? it was interesting. don't you think we ought to start? it's nearly 3:00. if you think so. -good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. as you may have heard, a great deal has happened since our last meeting was adjourned. later on in this meeting, i hope to tell you something of the nature of these events and what we believe to lie behind them. do you want to make your report first? cathy: -yes, i do. doreen: in that case... (continues, indistinct) things all ready for loading. (chatter) -if you recall, it was at your instruction that our new director, mrs. gale, be called on to make a report back to you of her assessment of how this company is being managed. i will now ask mrs. gale to make that report. i'm afraid my report will be very brief. as a result of what i've seen, i feel the interests of you all would be best served by a change of management at the head of this firm. -what? what do you mean by that? man: she means she's sold out. is that what you mean, cathy? -yes, that's right. one hour ago, i acquired the ordinary stock previously held by mrs. gale. i've now acquired 61% ordinary and 23% preference stock. in other words, i have a controlling majority in this company. -well, then i protest! this information has been deliberately withheld from the remaining directors. certainly, but what are you going to do about it? well, i-i wish to register my protest by offering my resignation. i accept. -off you go. man: good lord. man #2: totally improper. -the meeting is now closed. you'll be notified by first post tomorrow morning the value of your new cade stock. good afternoon. oh, uh, miss thing. uh... -ellis. yes. before you start resigning as well, i want a stock list of everything you have in this company right down to the last paper clip, all right? and she'll give you a hand. -i want that by 9:00 tomorrow morning. i have another meeting. good afternoon. (stockholders muttering) well, i suppose we better get started, hadn't we? -what? oh, it's you. meeting finished already? the whole damn thing's finished. you were right. -cathy sold us out. you've made a mess of it all, haven't you, young? look, if you must hold an inquest, hold it later, will you? first thing we've got to do is to get this stuff back to cade before he finds out. this is the consignment i ordered. -it's going to tangier. cade will have the police in here within 24 hours. within 24 hours, i'll be off the coast of brittany. ah, you'd be silly to do that. we'd have to leave tonight! -within the next two hours. what do you mean? it'll soon be dark enough to drift out into midstream without navigation lights, then full speed ahead from those lovely old naval engines of yours. i'll be in the thames estuary before the moon rises. and what about fuel? -i've loaded up with extra cans and i've also stocked up with provisions. but dorothy's still in town. well, dorothy ought to be back from town by now. you'll find her in the three greyhounds about now. i don't like it. -and while you're out, collect our other passenger. stock-taking at this time of night? that's what mr. cade wants. it'll be very rough, i'll tell you that much. he said he wants it to be exact. -oh, does he? well, apart from the stuff in the showcase, there's nothing here, and that's a change. there always would have been stuff about in here. oh, we have two. one rifle, mark vi b. -four rounds of ammunition in it. hmm. suppose i better put this back. oh, no. leave it where it is. -we'll lock up here later. i don't know what i'm gonna tell the missus when i get home. "i been doing stock-taking, darling, at this time of the night." i might as well tell her a lie. do you suppose he wants us to count the targets? -mrs. gale? yes? i suppose you know you've let us down rather badly, don't you? i should have come and told you i was selling out to cade? well, it would have been courteous. -would also have been suicidal, wouldn't it? i don't know what you mean. do you recognize this, miss ellis? no. why should i? -what is it? it's the brigadier's handkerchief. well, what about it? it's got lipstick on it. so? -it's your lipstick, isn't it? and you were the only one who could have got close enough to him to reach his gun and kill him, just as you were the only one who could have got close enough to anderson without his suspecting. i'm still not quite sure how you got reynolds. i take it he was walking down here to the target end when you came in. you followed him in here quietly. -you are, of course, an excellent markswoman. karl probably had taught you when you were living with him in switzerland. i think we've said enough, don't you? but karl isn't around to applaud this killing. karl and mrs. young cast off the boat half an hour ago. -they're now heading downriver and on their way to north africa. they even managed to get rid of young on a false errand. i don't believe you. karl wouldn't leave me like that. why not? -he's got what he wanted and you obligingly did his killing for him. now he's moving on and you and young are left to cover up for him. (firing) you won't get much joy out of that rifle, miss ellis. it's only got blanks in it. -mrs. gale asked me to load it for her. (scoffs) what about that firm in oldham? yeah, as well as making pencil sharpeners, i'd like to merge them with those biscuit tin people. -what? yes, well, see what you can do. get back to me, will you? well, what do you think of that? that sounds like an excellent proposition. -you interested? no. ah, come in. hello. oh, i didn't expect to see you here. -we've been talking finances. he's a shrewd man, your broker. yes, i'm sure he is. well, here it is. what's this? -i've been up all night doing it. doing what? it's the stock list from anderson's that you asked for. oh, you needn't have bothered. i sold anderson's last night to a japanese syndicate. -ha-ha. that'll teach them. well, what was all that about checking the stock down to the last paper clip? well, i always say that. it frightens them, you see. -were any of those guns missing, by the way? all recovered by the river police. well, it sounds fascinating. mrs. gale, why don't you have lunch with me today, and you can tell me all about it, eh? -yes, i'd love to. i'm afraid that mrs. gale is going to have lunch with me. we have to discuss finance, you know? we don't have a lunch appointment. i think it's far better not to get mixed up with types like him. -you never know where you might end up. dinner. dinner. (intercom buzzes) woman: -your call to tokyo, sir. ah. hello, arnold. (speaking japanese) (theme music playing) -i'ii tell them we're here. oh, hello. you're the new boy here, aren't you? i think your room is right next to mine. let me help you with the bag. -you touched me! you fool! you touched me! you want to kill me? you fool! -you want to kill me? you want to kill me. ooh, he touched me. david, david, stop it at once. pull yourself together immediately. -a touch can kill. you know that isn't true. now, control yourself. a touch can kill! dr. swinford's secretary is coming. -we're going to wait in his office. touch can kill. would you follow me, please? please sit down. still 12:17. -what? it wasn't working the last time we were here either. what's the point of having a clock which won't work? he probably has a wristwatch. a mickey mouse wristwatch. -hello. sorry to keep you waiting. oh, it isn't important. the important thing is to get david settled. i'ii take him right up to his room so he can unpack. -would you like to say goodbye now? i want to go up to his room with him. i'm sorry. visitors aren't allowed in the rooms. but surely i can see it? -the rooms belong to the students. goodbye, mother. goodbye, darling. write often, won't you? i'ii miss you terribly. -i'ii be right back. here we are, mrs. ferris. this is david clemens. hello, david. mrs. ferris is our housekeeper. -anything you want, just ask her. see you in a little while. have you thought of anything else since our talk a week ago, anything about the nightmares, perhaps? nightmares? yes, i believe it was mr. clemens who mentioned them. -they began when he was three or four years old. oh, stomach aches. his father would take him out, buy him candy bars. those two would eat anything. i had two little boys on my hands, really. -you do understand that neither his father nor i ever hit or slapped him. never. this... this notion of his about being touched, it wasn't anything we did. hey! -new guy in. i want to see! what's his name? hey, come on, let's go see him. where is he? -hey, let's see the new kid. who is it? it's dr. swinford. i want a lock installed in my door immediately. no one will come in without your permission. -how do i know that? that's one of our rules. things look in pretty good shape here. could we talk for awhile? dr. swinford, i submitted to extensive testing and other nonsense for two full days last week. -i'm here, i'll go along with the routine, with the indignities. but frankly, i don't care for any more interviewing. it's not interviewing. it's just talking things over so that perhaps i can help you. after all, that's what we're both here for, david. -all right. then let's say if i feel like talking to you, i'ii talk to you. i'm available. dinner's not until 6:00. -you can go outdoors if you like. i thought i told you, i loathe athletics. go for a walk. a walk? you may leave after classes if you want to, just so long as you let me know when you're going out. -what time is it now? 3:55. may i see your watch? mediocre. do you have any others? -i have a wristwatch. right now it's not working. the clock in your office isn't working either. no. i haven't had time to have it fixed. -you'll have time now, won't you? the time you'll save by not talking to me. see you later, david. cow. lisa... -cow, cow, cow. big black cow, big fat sow and how, how! lisa? cow, cow, cow. -would you like to look at some pictures, lisa? so they sat, so they sat, and so they sat. big fat cow, big black sow, and how and how and how. well, where is he, the new inmate? -maybe somebody warned him about the food in this joint. he has a terrible temper. why? what's the matter with him? he must be exceptional, like the rest of us. -what does that mean? you've been here a year and you don't know? i hear that the new boy is tall and blonde, my type. you just touch him and he turns on you. hey, kate, you can touch me anytime. -is that all you will think about, even when you're eating? maureen, i don't like celery soup so i'm not going to eat it. is that all right, maureen? that's all right. there he is. -yeah! hello, david. i'm maureen. you're going to be at my table. would you like to come and meet everyone? -this is david clemens who arrived today. david, this is sandra. how do you do? and carlos. hiya. -josette, and simon... we've already met. ...and kate. hello. -man, you classy dresser. you're gonna be the best-dressed guy in this school. the rest are such slobs. do you play chess? will you play with me after dinner? -oh, don't forget, after dinner we have a meeting to discuss clothes. hey, what club are you gonna vote for? i despise clubs. would you like to join our bowling team? i despise bowling. -oh, come on, man. it's good exercise. exercise is for idiots! fine, david. that's very, very good. -who is it? it's alan. what do you want? may i come in? no, i'm busy. -okay, i'll try some other time. hop, skip, jump. i'm not a lump, i'm not a lump. hop, skip, jump. i'm not a lump, i'm not a lump. -no, you're not a lump. you're a girl, lisa. i'm not a lump and i like to jump. i'm not a lump and i like to jump. i'm not a lump and i like to jump. -you're not a lump. you're not a lump. you're a girl, lisa. i'm not a lump, i'm not a lump, i'm not a lump, i'm not a lump... all right. -you're muriel. would you like to play a game, muriel? what would you like to do? no, we can't go outside now. it's nearly dinnertime. -would you like to look out the window? it's "with" not "wit." with. here, i'ii show you. come on. this is the way you spell "with." -w, i, t, h. "with." why don't you comb your hair? it looks fine in the morning but right now it looks terrible. wait. -i'ii play with you. what would you like to play? no, no, lisa. you mustn't write on the wall. give me the crayon, lisa. -i'm sorry, lisa. i'm going to have to take the crayon away from you. john, john, be gone, be gone. enough of this stuffy stuff! are you angry with me, lisa? -angry, angry, wangry, wangry, angry. are you angry because i took your crayon? you foo, you foo, it's you, it's you! foo, foo, foo, foo, foo! john is a louse! -a big fat louse on a little gray mouse! may i have a word with you? sure, david. i've been studying your patient and i've come to several conclusions. i'd like to hear them. -based on the fact that i've read a great many books in your field. go on. my diagnosis is adolescent schizophrenia, undoubtedly of a chronic variety. do you follow me? yes, i do. -well, then i shall continue. lisa has a very difficult time with authoritarian figures. it is extremely important that you adopt an attitude of permissiveness with her. therefore, you shouldn't have taken away her crayon even though she marked the wall. john, john, come away, today, today. -i'd like to talk to you some more about this, david. i'ii see you later. you touched me? why did you do that? why did you do that, you big fat fool? -i'm sorry, i forgot. why did you... you want to see me dead! you want to see me dead, don't you? don't you? -i made a mistake, david. you... you coarse, clumsy, stupid fool! you hate me. oh, he hates me. -hi, come on in. why is it every time i stop here to tell you i'm going out, you ask me to come in? where are you off to? a walk. i feel like a walk myself. -you mind if i join you? i was told you made a friend. friend? olga says you were talking to lisa. i talk to her merely because her case interests me. -i see. my ability to relate, or any other psychiatric term you might use, simply does not apply to me. what do you find so funny? i take particular pains not to use psychiatric terms yet you accuse me of doing it. well, all the others did. -all the idiot psychiatrists my mother dragged me to. frankly, you experts devote too much time to nonsense like dreams. do you dream often? i had my clock-execution dream last night. well, we've had our little walk. -you satisfied? i'd like to hear about your dream. i thought you would. the dream is always the same. i've had it many times, only the victim changes. -there's a huge clock with a huge hand, the edge of which is very sharp, like a razor. there are holes in the face of the clock with heads sticking through. i'm pulling on the clock hand with all my strength. i pull the blade closer and closer. it touches the victim's neck, cuts through, -i continue to pull the blade around the clock until all the heads are cut off. my victims are executed 12 times. that's all. who are the victims? john was the victim last night. -who knows? maybe tonight it will be you. hello, kiddo. so alone. hello. -kiddo? kiddo, hello. me, the same. lisa, the name. me, the same. -lisa, the name. me, the same. david, the name. look at me. what do you see? -what do you see? lisa, i see, staring at me. don't touch. don't touch. all else will do, but please no such. -foolish talking, foolish squawking. don't touch. no such. no such, no touch. you're welcome. -hi. come on in. well, you've won the battle. i'm in your office. i didn't know we were having a battle. -want to sit down? no, i'm not staying. i merely came to find out if you've analyzed my dream. no, i couldn't do that without talking with you. typical psychiatrist's dodge! -you don't like psychiatrists much? they think they have all the answers. that's one thing i'm sure i haven't got. i've interviewed a few of your colleagues. of course they thought they were interviewing me. -i'd like to hear about them. yes, i'm sure you would. i'm here to find out what you thought about my dream. what did you think about it? don't play dr. freud, answering one question by asking another. -go ahead, say it. the dream proves i'm crazy. no, it doesn't. i presume that comes under the heading of "reassurance." give the kid comfort and support. -i think i'm crazy. aren't you going to tell me anything about my dream? you sounded angry, cutting off john's head that way. a brilliant analysis. you're terribly afraid of death, aren't you? -aren't you? now who's playing freud? go on. it shows in your dream in two ways. first, you're killing your enemies, which will make you feel safer. -and second, you're pulling on the blade so that you control life and death. i wish you'd stay. i know you do, doctor. david! david! -look at me. who do you see? who do you see? lisa i see, looking at me. david, david, here we are. -come away, far, far. not now, not today, i say... some other day. i say... -lisa, why must we rhyme? it's so hard and it takes so much time. funny david, can't you see? rhyming stops her, she then can't be. that's why you rhyme! -you don't have to be muriel when you rhyme! lisa! come back! come back, i'll rhyme. i'ii rhyme, this time. -rhyme, time, slime, rhyme! don't touch me. don't touch me. be careful, don't touch me! lisa, muriel, i warn you! -don't touch me. been here long? you haven't had your clock fixed. not yet. have you got your wristwatch with you today? -uh-huh. it's probably a piece of clumsy junk. how come you don't have a watch? there isn't one in existence i'd want to own. they're all grossly inaccurate. -have you ever thought of the possibility of a radio-controlled clock? a radio alarm clock? no, no, no, i mean one that... this must be strictly confidential. everything we say is between us. -i plan to construct a masterpiece. a combination of utterly precise instruments put together in a perfect pattern. my idea is this. everyone would wear a clock receiver which would be tuned in to a central electronic device. through this device they would constantly be kept aware of the exact time. -if they were interested. it's an ingenious idea, but i don't think many people are interested in constantly having the exact time. i am. why? time goes on and on, we can't stop it! -it never stops! second by second, minute by minute, it's cutting off our heads! like your dream? no. yes! -it starts the minute we're born and just keeps on going. there's nothing we can do about it. you're gonna die, alan. do you know you're going to die? yes, i know. -aren't you afraid? sure, sometimes. we all are. if we could only stop time we could be safe. we can't stop time, david. -all we can do is use it. it's not only time that brings on death. it's a lot of other things, too. not if we're careful! careful? -yes, nobody get near me. not let anyone near me, not let anyone touch me. not anyone let hurt me. i think you mean hurt inside you, in your heart, in your guts, not where you bleed. where you feel. -no, i don't know what you're talking about. other people can make you feel pain, can make you suffer, turn on you, laugh at you... no! i will not let them. i will not let anyone touch me. -we can't add to the time allotted to us, we can't even add a second to it. all we can do is be alive in it. alive! not numb inside. we take a chance when we open up and love another person. -what's wrong, lisa? everyone's waiting for you. she'd better make up her mind right now or we'll miss the train. we'll see all the christmas decorations. we're going to all the big stores. -will you hold my hand the whole time, maureen? i get nervous in crowds. don't you want to go, lisa? no, no. snow and ice, ice and snow. -no! no! remember, we looked out the window? there's no snow today. foolish talking, foolish squawking. -david, stay. we'ii play, we'll play. i can't stay. but i'll walk while we talk. no squawk talk, no talk squawk. -we'll walk, we'll walk. walk us two? me and you. you and me, me and you, walk us two. if you just sit here, we'll go buy your tickets. -you shouldn't smoke. why not? 'cause it makes you look too tough. i am tough. do you want to make something out of it? -hmm? certainly not. who's that girl? whoever she is, she's very rude. holly golly, golly holly. -golly holly, holly golly. she's nuts. must be from that school. golly holly, holly golly. beat it, damn it! -what the hell do you think you're doing? you want a punch in the jaw? don't touch me. excuse her, please. she was admiring your family. -she's not normal. if you're normal, who wants to be normal? come on, david. come on. let's go. -we'll wait for the train outside. bunch of screwballs! spoiling the town! bunch of screwballs spoiling the town. bunch of screwballs spoiling the town. -bunch of screwballs spoiling the town. a bunch of screwballs... a bunch of screwballs spoiling the town! a bunch of screwballs spoiling the town! a bunch of screwballs spoiling the town! -a bunch of screwballs spoiling the town! a bunch of screwballs spoiling the town! i'm going out for a walk. i presume you've noticed me playing chess with simon? he's not much competition. -do you know something? lisa gets irritated every time she sees me with simon. i think she's jealous. maybe. perhaps i'm getting through to her feelings, to use your word. -quite possibly. where did you get this? in rome, a long time ago. corny stuff you keep around here. sometimes lisa acts so silly, all that jumping around and rhyming. -she has no choice. sickness makes people do things they don't want to do. if they get better, then they're free to do as they please. they have a choice. compulsive versus non-compulsive? -why use technical terms? poaching on your territory? civilians not allowed to utter the sacred words? you sound awful angry. if "they" get better then they will be allowed to do as "they" please! -what is this "they" routine, when you mean me? that's right, me. i'm a real compulsive nut, aren't i? let's stick together, shall we? let's be each other's friend. -i play the piano. will you listen to me play? i don't like music. oh. game, game, boy, poy. -chess, mess, chess, mess. i can't stand her. she can't help it. she's a very sick girl. hello, kiddo. -kiddo, hello. david, david, look at me. who do you see? who do you see? say to me what you see. -i see a girl, who looks like a pearl. a pearl of a girl. john! john! john, i'm a girl, a girl, a pearl of a girl! -hiya! who you waiting for? my son. are you a mother? you look more like a sister. -i am mrs. clemens. david "hands off' clemens! no kidding! i think you're just about the cutest mother i ever seen around here. my god, how did david get such a sexy mother? -why don't you just go... go talk to someone else? oh, look at the broads in this place. why would i talk to them? old hens, all zipped up in their girdles. -will you go away? oh, please, don't say that. i'm so lonely. no one ever come to see me. oh? -see, my mother, she works so hard. all night, even. oh. she a very hard worker, and very tiring. what does your mother do? -she's a hooker. you know, a hustler. she walks up the streets and she sees a guy and she... never mind. i don't want to hear it. -darling, i thought you would never come! hello, mother. what took you so long? come and sit down. you look pale. -you've been eating enough? you never write anymore. where's father? chicago, business meeting. did you get the pajamas i sent? -yes, thank you. i don't want thanks. just a line to let me know they got here, that's only good manners. a boy i see, who looks like me. i see me, lisa. -muriel? muriel. poor child. what's wrong with her? schizophrenic. -you know, crazy. doesn't it upset you to be around children like that? why should it? i'm crazy, too. don't say that. -you have some problems... i've got bats in my belfry, otherwise i wouldn't be here. how are you getting along with dr. swinford? alan's okay. you call him alan? -not very respectful. he doesn't care about all that respectful crap. david, your language! what's a boy like that doing in this school? he's crazy, too. -i mean, it's so expensive. a welfare agency put him in here after he knocked up 13 girls. that's what he says. in my opinion, he has delusions of grandeur. tell me all about school. -nothing to tell. are you getting good grades? i told you, they don't grade you here. but how do you know if you're at the top of your class? it doesn't matter. -of course it matters. why? there's that bastard, john. david! david, aren't you making any friends? -i'm sure there are some nice boys here. what do you mean by nice? a milksop who has good manners? david, you never used to talk to me like that. what makes you think that i ever really talked to you at all? -when people talk, it means they say what they really feel. all you ever do is toss words around. what do you wanna do this afternoon? nothing. well, i came all the way out here, two hours in the traffic, just to take you somewhere. -you're not being very grateful. come on, we'll do whatever you wanna do. what a hypocrite you are! you know damn well we'll do what you want to do! we always have! -where did you get these? i bought them. for yourself? mmm-hmm. "when all at once i saw a crowd -"a host of golden daffodils" it was in our english book. well, what did you want to talk to me about? your parents are insisting on taking you out of the school. you mean they... -it was my mother, wasn't it? i spoke to your father, also. he agrees. my father's a marshmallow. inside, where you're always talking about. -the other day when your mother was here, did anything special happen? no. well, she's just not used to having her sweet little boy talk back or have an idea of his own. i think she must've found me under a cabbage. i can't imagine her. -it was a rotten afternoon. next time i'ii just have to cover up more. it's what i've been doing all my life. it's no solution, is it? no, it isn't. -parents don't like you when you're sick. if you start to get well... better? they don't like you, either. it takes time for a family to adjust to changes. -well, it's almost the end of the term. i think i ought to stay till then. i think you ought to stay a good deal longer than that. your father's coming to take you home today. today? -but you're not going to let them take me away? i should've told you long before this but i hoped i could make them change their minds. i said you're not going to let them. you're their son. i have no legal way of stopping them. -sure. i come, i go. what the hell do you care? i care. well, another little scramble-brained bastard will come in tomorrow so you won't lose a penny. -do you think i like you because i'm being paid to? oh, well, i'm finally getting out of this looney bin. god, how i hate this place. i just loathe it. your parents are doing this against my advice. -oh, i'm grateful to my parents! because they have the sense to realize their mistakes, which is more than you have. what mistakes? alan swinford, headshrinker. do you know something? -you'd do a lot better delivering laundry. it would give you a feeling of being of use instead of interfering in people's lives. how have i interfered? by the asinine idiotic questions you're always asking! why do you keep asking these questions? -why can't you stop, you... why can't you stop? it's all right about the clock. it can be fixed. will you please cut out that understanding stuff? -what do i have to do? smash every damn thing in this office before you'ii fight back? you mean fight back against your parents? i did. believe me, i did. -perhaps they'ii reconsider and change their minds. if they do, i hope you'll come back. don't hold your breath. stuart, carve another piece of roast beef for david. he's hardly touched the piece he has now. -david, you've got to eat. i told you i'm not hungry. but i planned this whole dinner just for you, all your favorites. you love biscuits. i made them myself. -grace, put a biscuit on david's plate, please. darling, try the biscuit while it's hot. i spoke to the headmaster at west hill academy. they have openings in both the junior and senior classes for next fall. they want you to take some exams so they'll know where you belong. -i am not going to west hill academy. of course you are. don't be silly. would you rather go to a public high school? what kind of college preparation can he get in a public school? -it prepared me. oh, whoever heard of the college you went to? i want david to go to an ivy league school. so you can tell everybody that your son is going to princeton? why shouldn't my son have the best? -i never did. no decent clothes. couldn't even invite anybody into my house. old wicker furniture in the living room. you invited me in. -oh, you... my family didn't count socially, but your mother was kind enough to marry me anyway. well, i've brought you a long ways away from wicker furniture! lovely manners your father has. it's terrible for me when you're not here. -your father's so... he's no companion. will you shut up about my father? david... just shut up! -remember i told you? david went home to his own house. that's right, he went with a man. he went home with his father. this is another way of spelling his name. -the way he spells it, remember? this is his last name. clemens. can you print your last name? brandt. -b, r, a, n, d, t. brandt. now try it. david, you can't just stay here in your room all the time. not eating, not talking to anybody. -you've got to get out and do things. listen, i've got a wonderful idea. you and i and your mother drive to california this summer, take a look at the countryside. good idea? they say it's a great big beautiful country. -when i was your age i never went anywhere. my father just didn't give a damn about me. he just didn't care. frankly, he wasn't the greatest guy in the world. when you were born, that made me a father and i was so proud. -the nurse held you up and your eyes looked so new. i wanted to make the world over so those eyes could never see anything that... so that nothing ever could scare you. or disappoint you. what is it you're so scared of, david? -when did it first start? if it's something i did, i'm sorry. do you remember when you were little all the toys you had in here? the cars and trucks and stuffed animals. david, do you remember a fireman's helmet that i bought for you? -when you were little, you know, you thought i was just about it. listen, if i take off next week, would you like to go somewhere with me? just the two of us. drive up to vermont. maybe even go camping? -you don't have to answer me now, but i sure would love it. i mean, just the two of us, you know. well, think about it, huh? why, david, hello. -come on in. i have to see alan immediately. okay, i'ii get him. hello, david. come on in. -i left home. my parents don't know. i'ii have to call them. you understand why. i won't go home. -i won't go home. that's all right. i didn't have anywhere else to go. i just came here. i'm glad. -hello, kiddo. kiddo, hello. david. david, look at me. what do you see? -what do you see? i see a girl who looks like a pearl. a pearl of a girl. i'm a girl. a girl, a pearl of a girl. -so i just packed my bags and left in the middle of the night. i walked to the station. and there was this woman sitting there. colored woman. she had this boy with her. -it was her son. and they were just sitting there waiting for the train. she had her arm around him, and, uh... they were so peaceful. she really liked that boy, i could tell, because of the way she held him. -and i pretended that i was her son, too. i just felt like being her son. strange, isn't it? i don't think it's strange at all. i spoke to your parents on the phone. -we talked for a long time. it's all right. they've agreed to let you stay. i hate my parents. we can hate and love people at the same time. -i don't see how. you will. when you get to know your parents better you'll understand that they had parents, too. strains and pressures, fears, failures. my father has a lot of money. -he's a success, but it's not a success inside. tell me, what happened at home? it's depressing. i guess it's funny, too. both maybe. -we were having dinner... i prefer sculpture that challenges your intellect, don't you? no, not necessarily. such an unoriginal subject. i don't mind. -i don't mind, either. i rather like it. i rather like it, too. lisa, come down. lisa? -look, mommy! look at that girl! lisa, come down. young lady. young lady, come down from there at once! -no, no. please, please, let me. i'm sorry, i should've watched her. come on, lisa. it's time to go back to the school and see john. -john's waiting for us. come on, give me your hand. that's it, give me your hand. we'ii come back and visit some other day. yes. -now, come on, i've got you. put your foot down. come on, sweetie. that's it. i've got you. -all right? now, let's go see john. did you get these in the backyard? mmm-hmm. maybe i'll put some in my room. -only... only what? the kids. they think that... have you ever been to a freak show? -at a circus? couple of times when i was a kid. i went once when i was about eight. tell me about it. there was this person, george-georgina, half man, half woman. -half of its... its/his face had a beard on it, the other half was smooth. and it had a breast on one side, too. and i got so scared, i yelled and i ran right out of the tent. i remember lots of times my mother used to tell people how george-georgina scared me. -they used to laugh. but it wasn't funny to you. well, i was just a little kid. wouldn't bother me now. i noticed you got the clock in your office fixed. -mmm-hmm. maybe it was a good idea i smashed the glass. gave you the push you needed to get it fixed. i guess it did. i'm gonna put those flowers in my room, i don't care what the kids think. -doesn't really matter, does it? no. the important thing is what i think of myself. here's one we could use. that's france, stupid. -the point of the party is paris. a night in paris. may i remind you that paris is the capital of france. hey, we've got enough. come on, let's go hang them up. -so warm, so nice, no snow, no ice. warm and nice, no snow, no ice. david, david, here you are. come away far, oh, far. someday we'ii go away. -someday to the clean white sand. and... and, uh... lisa. it's hard to rhyme. -let me talk to you plain and straight. please trust me. this time you rhyme. you rhyme this time. it's hard. -i can't. i really can't. don't go away! david, david, you look nice. not like snow, not like ice. -you didn't go away. you trust me. you really trust me. the other day i wanted to ask you something. and i just couldn't. -when you're ready, you will. i think i could now. what? well, it's about... do you think that maybe someday if i work very hard that i could get into medical school? -maybe. i haven't made up my mind about a specialty. i thought maybe i could be a psychiatrist, like you. maybe. you know a lot more than you let on, don't you? -the clock has a big hand and a small hand. that's right. it's the same word, hands. what do you want? -do you want me to tell your fortune? i wonder what your fortune is. there's supposed to be a line for happiness and a line for love. i don't believe in palmistry. of course, anything's possible. -you do have a very long happiness line. can't stand it! ears can't take it! do you really hate music? good music? -let me play a bach prelude for you. please. all right, let's leave. it's very good. sign your name to it, so they'ii know it's yours. -no, no. i mean sign your name on the poster. that's right. muriel and lisa are you. you are lisa and muriel. -now look who's here. does that kid have to follow you everywhere you go?

(woman #2) he's lovely. he's got his girlfriend with him. looking for a nice dark corner to do a bit of courting, was you? good evening. -my name's hunter. i'm the producer of the opera. yeah, and i'm the queen of england. now be off with you and do your wooing elsewhere. but i assure you... -go on. get out of here. you haven't found a small diamond brooch, have you? when did you lose it? last night. -last night? where was you sitting? stalls. front or back? front. -that's me. let me give you a hand, dear. keep your thieving hands away. it's all mine. do you think it might still be in the theater? -he's right. come on, girls. the front stall's mine. come back, you thieving lot. (woman #1) they're mine, i say. -now, can you remember which direction this voice came from? well, not exactly. sit down exactly just as you were sitting when you heard it. you were sitting there and the voice came from... the voice came from somewhere over there. -the gas. harry. don't be afraid. (the phantom) mr. hunter. mr. hunter. -i do not want you meddling... with something that does not concern you. do you understand? no, i do not. who are you? get away from here, get away. -you do not know what may happen to you. i'm not easily frightened. then you should be. my threat is not an idle one. there are forces of evil at large in the opera tonight. -leave the girl and go while you may. do you hear me? leave the girl here and go. it's him. the phantom. -we saw him. harry, look. it's only the old ratcatcher. don't be alarmed. i won't do you no harm. -think i must have given them cleaners a bit of a turn. they're usually gone by the time i'm around. i'm the ratcatcher, you see, sir. place is alive with them. i searches them out with me lamp... then i sort of hypnotizes them... till i'm near enough to pounce. -i'm sorry, lady. i caught a couple of beauties tonight, sir. fat. like young puppies, they are. here, i'll show you. -now, none of that. i'll find them for you in a moment, sir. you'll never believe your eyes. please stop him. please don't bother on our account. -no? i could let you have them both for tuppence, sir. they'd make a lovely pie, you know. we're vegetarians. pity. -here's something for your trouble, though. thank you, sir. thank you very much, sir. well, good night to you then. wait here. -(the phantom) young woman. young woman, you must come with me. it's all right. i did see him, harry. he was standing there at the top of the stairs. -and he had one eye and a mask? yes, all black. and he stood there staring and staring at me. it felt as if he was trying to burn a hole in my brain. the kettle's on and tea won't be a minute. -how are you feeling, my dear? she needs to sleep. quite. a nice cup of tea, then off to bed with you. you do believe me, harry. -yes, i believe you, christine. useless. no good at all. for heaven's sake, get rid of her. all right, stop. -that's enough. next please. i should like to sing adele's song from fledermaus. whenever you are ready, my dear. d and if i should let myself go d d we'll sample some pleasures i know d -d we'll drink to each other d d we'll tell one another d d of everlasting love d d of everlasting love d d such a man as you d d with a girl like me d d you really should beware d d looking into your eyes d d it is no surprise d d i'll tell my heart, take care dd quite excellent. needs a little work, of course. tell her to come to my office. -very good, my dear. thank you. (bill) thank you very much. that's all, thank you very much. what' s going on, ambrose? -i have been endeavoring to find someone... with the ability to do justice to the leading role in my opera, mr. hunter. i thought you'd agreed that miss charles was to sing it. you may have thought so. now, if you'll excuse me. no. -have i not made myself sufficiently clear? miss charles is not to sing in my opera. not in the leading part nor in any other. she has received her dismissal this morning. you small-minded, fatheaded... -be careful, mr. hunter. because she refuses to go to your apartment... in the middle of the night... you're dismissed. you understand? now get out of my way. -sorry, harry. he made me send the note round by hand. i'll go and see her. if anything else happens, let me know, will you? yes. -no, he can't. it's not fair. of course it's not. if he's stopped me from playing st. joan... not to let me sing at all, it just isn't fair. -fairness isn't one of his virtues, christine. i forgot to ask... i'm sorry. it's all right, mrs. tucker. i thought you'd like a glass of sherry wine, but perhaps... -nothing i'd like better, mrs. tucker. i'll drink it... while miss charles is getting ready to come and have lunch with me. no, harry. i couldn't. of course you could. -i insist that you come and celebrate. celebrate, mr. hunter? yes, mrs. tucker. today, we both got the sack. oh, no, harry. -oh, yes, harry. so we've both got nothing to do and all the time in the world to do it in. and i'll allow you just... ten minutes of it to get ready. not a moment more. i'll try. -i wonder if you could tell me where you got this. got it? i made it. you... where did you get this music from? -that's some of the professor's. professor petrie. he used to teach singing at the academy. when he remembered to go there, that is. he was a little bit... -but very nice. he used to play the piano all day long. i have mostly musicians stay with me, you know. he used to play night and day. i just loved listening to him. -then the neighbors started banging on the walls, so i had to put a stop to it. do you think it'd be possible for me to have a closer look at that music? well... if it's not too much trouble. no, he left a whole pile of it here. -he left me enough to paper the house. but i threw some of it out. here's some, but it's a bit faded now. i remember that bit. what became of this professor, mrs. tucker? -he was killed. burned to death in a fire. it was terrible. a fire? at a printer's. -he'd gone to see them about printing his music. the whole place caught fire while he was there. do you know the name of this printer's, mrs. tucker? let me see. yes. -it was piggot's. by london bridge. ready. in five minutes exactly. good girl. -thank you very much, mrs. tucker, for all your help. what about your sherry... of course. goodbye, mrs. tucker. the fire, sir. -that would be a bit before my time. perhaps you would care to see our mr. weaver, sir? he's the master printer. he's been here a very long time. yes, i'd like that very much. -i'll see if he's available, sir. what is this, harry? it's a long story. i'll tell you over lunch. mr. weaver? -you were enquiring about the fire, sir? yes, well, rather about someone who died in the fire. no one died. but i understood that someone was burned to death in the fire. someone was badly burned, sir. -but he didn't die. not here, anyway. what happened? he broke in one night, sir. he must have knocked over a lamp or something... and put the whole place ablaze. -he tried to put it out with... what he thought was water, sir. but it was some of this. for etching the plates. he threw a whole jarful at the flames. some of it splashed back in his face. -nitric acid, sir. what became of him? he ran out screaming. no one ever saw any more of him. and you've no idea who he was? -no, sir. nor why he broke in? he was a burglar. i suppose, sir. thank you very much for seeing us, sergeant. -i'm sure you must be very busy. it is quite all right, sir. i'm enquiring about a fire. a fire, sir? at piggot's, the printers. -do you remember it? i remember it well, sir. i was on duty. saw it all. there was a man badly burned. -there was indeed, sir. he came running out of that place screaming blue murder... if you'll pardon the expression, miss. where did he run to? straight up the street and into the river. the river? -that's right, miss. straight in, he went. about here. so that's where he went. who, harry? -who is this mystery man? i'll tell you over lunch. lunch? it's almost three. is it? -well, tea then. we'll have tea in the park, then a row on the lake... and dinner at frascati's. and then perhaps we'll have some supper. the cab's stopped. has it? -well, tell him to go round the park again. harry, we can't. he's been round four times already. well, perhaps he likes it. cabbie, would you mind taking us round the park again? -well, sir, being a pleasant enough evening for myself... i wouldn't mind a bit. i don't suppose old lightning here would grumble much either. but, me missus... me missus has a nervous disposition. -she don't like being left on her own at nighttime. she don't. so, if you wouldn't mind, sir. i understand perfectly. thought you would, sir. -looks like i'll have to take you home. thank you for a lovely day. the first of many, i wouldn't wonder, miss, eh? i think i'll just go and inspect the harness, sir. (cabbie) all in order, sir. -all in order, sir, with the harness. yes, i'll just climb aboard again. harry, you never did tell me about that mystery man, you know. it's quite simple. i found out how ambrose d'arcy managed to write such good music. -he didn't. someone else wrote it for him. are you sure? near enough. what are you going to do? -nothing. the real composer's dead. we've enough trouble without making more. all right then, sir? very all right, thank you. -all right. we're away then. come on, lightning. we'll soon be home now. i am going to teach you to sing, christine. -i am going to give you a new voice. a voice so wonderful... that the theaters all over the world will be filled with your admirers. you will be the greatest star the opera has ever known. greater than the greatest. and when you sing, christine... you will be singing only... for me. -d most noble lord dauphin d d i am sent by god d d to bring succor to your kingdom dd no, not like that. now start again. if you watch me carefully, my dear, i'll give you your cue. just one moment, mr. rossi. -i am taking this rehearsal. when i require any help from you, i shall ask for it. then you had better ask for it now because you most certainly need it. what did you say? stop it, stop it i say! -you're dismissed. good morning, gentlemen. what are they playing at? stop them. stop. -where are you going? stop, i say. you're dismissed. they're all dismissed. you, too. -and you. you come to my office. at once. good morning, sir. good morning. -good morning, sir. good morning. what's happening, bill? we've all been dismissed. what? -you, too? yes, and i can't say i'm sorry. good morning, sir. good morning. how could they do this to me? -my first opera and i'm let down on every side. first, i'm haunted by ghosts, and now all this. it really is too much. well, say something. what am i going to do? -i think you should ask mr. hunter to come back. what? what did you say? i think you should apologize to mr. hunter and ask him to come back. how dare you? -i dare because as manager of this opera house... i am responsible to my director for its welfare. and if i allow you to carry on in this manner, we shall all be made bankrupt. i refuse to stay and listen to this treason. very well. -but if you go, i shall take it upon myself to ask mr. hunter to return. (harry) well done, lattimer. i think, i feel quite... brandy. where do you keep it? -i don't know how i dared. i'll never forget the expression on his face. mr. hunter, what have i done? you've proved that you're a man and not a mouse. you've also persuaded me to come back and help you clear up this mess. -will you? will you really? i'll just join you in one of these to celebrate, then we'll get down to work, shall we? (harry) thank you, gentlemen, thank you. would you two change places? -that's good. would you come forward a few paces, please? thank you. i am sorry, ladies and gentlemen, i shall have to leave for a few minutes. i hope i won't be very long. -carry on, bill. harry. (bill) right, we'll go from the opening scene. her bed hasn't been slept in, but she must have gone up there... because her coat was hanging in the wardrobe... and the window was wide open, and i never leave the window wide open... because you know why. she can't have left very early, can she, without your knowing? -i'm up at 5:30 every morning. i don't sleep very well at the best of times. wind, you know. i'm terribly troubled with the wind. just as soon as she does return, perhaps you could ask her to come to the theater. -i shall tell her at once, mr. hunter. i just can't think what could have happened to her. better. again. better. -again. i can't. you little fool. do you think you can become a great singer without suffering? do you think i have not suffered? -the scoundrel. but sir, there is 10 years' work there. 10 years of my life. surely ? 50 is... i'm sorry, i accept. -thank you. thank you. sing! use that wonderful gift that god has given you. good. -now the melody. listen carefully to the phrasing. you begin very quietly. then build. keep the tone spinning. -build your voice until the auditorium is filled... with the beautiful sound of it. how can you be sure that he died? that's what i want to know. what makes you sure? current's very fast here. -he'd never have stood a chance. that's why we're sure. did you drag the river? well, did you? i've just said the river runs very fast, sir. -what would have been the good? now, i've got work to do, sir, even if you haven't. all right, sergeant. well, thank you anyway. water. -now, this time sing properly. do you understand? use your voice, do you understand? use your voice from here. let her sleep. -what was that? scoundrel, it's my music. it's my music. here, professor petrie. you'd better take him. -did he harm you? no. how do you know my name? i know who you are, professor, because i made it my business to find out. i also know something else about you. -the opera we've been rehearsing was composed by you, wasn't it? yes, that is true. you took it to ambrose d'arcy for help in getting it published, didn't you? what happened? what happened? -i took him all of my music. (ambrose) ? 50, no more. but there is 10 years' work there. ten years of my life, sir. -surely ? 50 is... am i not correct in thinking that... you have never had any of your work published, professor... petrie? not, not yet, but... -so you are completely unknown. of course, but everybody... there are many unknown composers... who'd be only too glad to have their works published... without any fee at all. come, i'm a busy man. no. -there's a full symphony here, sir, and two quartets... and a concerto for viola. and an opera, sir, a new opera, complete. i'm sorry. i accept. come in tomorrow and the papers will be ready to sign. -it is embarrassing for me to have to ask this... but perhaps you could manage... what? i owe my landlady quite a sum. a small advance, perhaps. tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. -thank you. look at it. look at it, man. filthy. yes, my lord. -do you expect me to be seen driving in that? no, my lord. do it again. yes, my lord. have it ready by this evening. -yes, my lord. lord ambrose. please excuse this intrusion, but i must see you. they said i should find you here. my music... -tomorrow. tomorrow may be too late. they're printing my music with... i think you mean my music, don't you? i don't understand. -i bought it from you, remember? yes, to publish, yes. but they're printing your name on the cover. my name on my music. is that so surprising? -you can't mean it. if you'll kindly excuse me. you thief. scoundrel. cabbie, go. -it's my music. who he is, i do not know... and as he cannot speak, i shall never know. sometimes he's uncontrollable, like a wild animal. but he has saved my life... and has looked after me ever since. and you've lived down here all these years? -and i shall die down here. look, i am dying already. but before i go... i implore you, allow me to finish one thing. let me teach you to use that wonderful voice that god has given you. -then you may never see me again... but you will never forget. please, give me a little time. a month, two weeks. one week even. one week, and i will work a miracle. -she will sing for me as she has never sung before. and i will hear my work performed. please. can i help you, lord ambrose? get out of my way. -what the devil? what is this foolery? who are you? answer me, who are you? good evening, lord ambrose. -take off that ridiculous mask when you speak to me. do you hear me? take it off. d in the sound of rain d d as thunder grows distant d d from darkest night to broadest day d d fear not d d god's with you d d god's with you to orleans d d fear not d -d fear not d d god and the maid will lead us to orleans d d god and the maid will lead us to victory d d will lead us to victory d d joan of arc d d you are now to hear d d the verdict of this court d d once again d d i beg you to repent d d and renounce these voices you hear d d declare yourself a heretic d d no, i will not. i am not d d joan, listen to me d d if you do not recant d d there is only one fate for you d d to be burned at the stake d -d i can do no more d d you know the consequences d d it is the decision of this court d d to declare you excommunicate d d and a heretic d d no, i am not d d clear the court d d burn her d d god, forgive them d d burn the witch burn her d d lord, have mercy d d no d d burn her d d no d d burn the witch d d no d -d in the sound of rain d d as a storm wept its tide d d in darkest night d d in broadest day d d i heard your voice d d in summer sunshine d d in autumn twilight d d in winter snow d d and now i pray d d do not forsake me d d show me the way d d and i will know d d i have the strength d d all doubt has passed d d i have no fear d d to come at last d -d i hear d d your voice d hey. what are you doing? christine. the house is sold out, my lord. -no further incidents, i trust? no, nothing. everything seems quite normal. from his lordship, madam. is this all? -yes, madam. last time there were diamonds. put them with the others, teresa. teresa, is that you? teresa, come and help me button my dress. -what is it now? it's maria. she said she's seen something. leave me alone. go away. -maria. harry. harry. it was here, in the room. it was terrible. -now, maria... "now, maria," nothing. i saw him, i tell you. standing just over here. just here. -black. all over, black. and his eye, staring at me. his eye? eye. -one eye in the mile of his forehead. and his face, harry. it was horrible. maria, i'm sure you saw something. exactly what it was... -it was him. after the show, we'll try and find out. harry, i can't go on tonight. of course you can. you're an artist. -you're not going to let a little thing like a ghost upset you. so, you do believe me? of course, i believe you. after the show, i promise we'll find out all about it. now you lie down and have a little rest. -you're so good for me. five minutes, please. put your feet up for a minute or two. i'll come and see you before you go on. oh, harry. -i'll send teresa. now, shut your eyes and rest. teresa. stay with her, won't you. is she all right? -yes. she saw something, bill. my music, mr. hunter. some of my music is missing. you don't need it, rossi. -you know it backwards. i know, but who could have done such a thing? someone's playing a joke. we've had too many jokes. he's right. -come on now. this is a first night, not a funeral. thank you. thank you, bill. all right, lattimer, it's only me. -i thought it was lord d'arcy. he'll come in late, you know that. on the first night of his own opera? all the more reason for making a good entrance. i don't understand it. -i really don't understand it. don't you? i understand it all right. what i don't understand is how ambrose d'arcy... can write so much excellent music in the last few years... when he has so little musical taste. thank you, mr. hunter. -you're welcome. a full house, my lord. so you keep telling me. they seem to sense good music, don't they? yes. -they like a good tune. if he wasn't the best producer in london... i'm quite sure he meant no disrespect, my lord. d silence d d silence. silence. silence d d these englishmen they have the manners of the pigs d d and no sense of decency d d silence d d silence d -d by order of the town burgher d d by order of the town burgher d d who speaks in the name d d of the earl of warwick d d who speaks in the name of the earl of warwick d d seize him d d seize him d d you lousy frenchie d d you think this is a joke d d i'll tell you something now d d to take your smile away d -d from this day forward there is to be d d an increase in the taxes d i thought you said the house was sold out. so it is, my lord. then why is that box empty over there?

i doubt if the damage to my work can ever really be repaired. -maria has refused ever to sing in this country again. heaven knows where we'll ever find anyone to take her place. mr. hunter is already investigating that possibility, my lord. in what way is he "investigating that possibility"? he is holding auditions this morning. -without consulting me? he said he thought it would be the best thing. i shall decide what is best and what is not best for my opera. how dare he? d a garden i know of roses d d by moonlight silvered over d d upon the lake reposes d d a lovely lotus flower d d upon lake reposes d hunter... -listen to me, hunter. you listen to her. d a lovely lotus flower d d and there we will sit and rest us d d under the palm tree shade d d and dream that love d d has blessed us d d and joy will never fade d d that joy d d will never d d fade what's your name? -christine charles, sir. you sang that beautifully, miss charles. i don't think we need to look any further, do you? she's a very lovely girl. she's got a very lovely voice, too. -go wait in your dressing room, miss charles. i'll leave you to fix the contract, shall i? she'll need a bit of coaching, of course. we should be able to open in a week or two with a bit of luck. bill, act 1, scene 1. -start rehearsing in 15 minutes. right. come along, girls. give that to miss charles. that was very good. -wonderful. i wish i could sing like that. so do i. i'm sure you'll get the part. absolutely wonderful. -it was marvelous. miss charles. yes? from lord ambrose d'arcy. thank you. -i say. what is it? what have you got? tell us. i'm to dine with him tonight. -oh, you lucky girl. caviar and champagne! how marvelous. i've got nothing to wear. you can borrow my blue. -i'll loan you my green. you're about my size. wardrobe will lend you something. this is an occasion. you must have something new. -but i can't possibly afford anything. how much can you afford? a few shillings, that's all i have. well, i can let you have five. oh, no. -i can spare half a crown. me, too. you mustn't. you stay here and get ready, and as soon as we've got a moment for you... we'll come and help you choose it. but really. -come on, girls. good luck. congratulations. don't worry. young woman. -young woman, listen to me. who is that? who are you? be quiet, and listen. you sang well, but you will sing better. -i shall teach you. when you sing, it will be only for me. please, who are you? only for me, do you understand? i understand what you say, but... -you are dining with ambrose d'arcy tonight. be warned, he is a vile and vicious man. who are you? where are you hiding? please tell me. -i forgot this. please, tell me who you are. mademoiselle. i believe lord ambrose d'arcy is expecting me. of course. -how charming you look, my dear. shall i serve the champagne, my lord? of course. it's very pretty here, isn't it? i expect you'll have guessed why i invited you here? -yes, i think so. we'll eat a little, drink a little champagne, then we'll talk about it. no, thank you. i insist. no, really, thank you. -a brandy, then? waiter. yes, my lord. tell xavier we don't want to be disturbed. yes, my lord. -now... that little matter we were going to discuss. about your singing in my new opera. you guessed it was that, didn't you? yes. of course, you did. -you've got a brain in that pretty little head of yours. a brain and a voice. a good singing voice. small, mind you, needs training, but it's there. just wants bringing out, training. -i know. needs a lot of training. i realize that, of course. of course, i'm a busy man. i think i might be able to spare you a few minutes now and then. -just a few, mind. if only you could, i'd be so grateful. i'd expect you to be grateful. you're a delicious little thing. i'm going to enjoy teaching you. -i have an idea. let's have the first lesson now, right away. the theater will be closed. my apartment won't. no, i couldn't. -i'm an expert teacher. no, please. do you want to sing in my new opera or don't you? you know i do. very well, then. -good evening, mr. hunter. good evening, xavier. not too late, am i? no, no, no, no. good evening, ambrose. -good evening, harry. miss charles. mr. hunter. lord ambrose has very kindly offered to coach me in my singing. has he? -tonight. tonight? yes. i wondered if you could possibly spare the time. that is, if you would care to. -but of course. nothing i'd like better than watching ambrose teaching you how to sing. shall we go? but, mr. hunter. i've changed my mind, xavier. -i'm putting on weight. ambrose. it is rather late. they'll fetch you a cab, miss charles. no need. -she can come with me. thank you. it's a pleasure, believe me. miss charles. you're not really putting on weight, are you? -i don't think so. then you must be starving. please go back, i can easily find my own way home. have you eaten? why, yes. -but did you actually eat anything? i was too nervous. will you join me for supper, miss charles? for two this time, xavier. of course, mr. hunter. -thank you for everything. he must have been furious. i suppose tomorrow i shall be back singing in the chorus again. if there is a chorus tomorrow. we've had a strange run of bad luck with this opera, christine. -from the moment we started rehearsing. first it was little, irritating things. music disappearing, costumes torn, scenery damaged. then things got worse, and finally, last night, a man was killed on the stage. the police say... -the police say it was suicide. you don't believe that? i think there is something evil in this theater, christine. something or someone trying to stop the opera from ever being performed. when i was sitting in my dressing room today... -i thought i heard a voice speaking to me. today? when? just after i had the invitation from lord ambrose. a voice warned me not to go. -he spoke... he? yes, it was a man's voice. did you recognize it? no, i'd never heard it before. -he spoke quietly but very clearly, so that i could hear every word. you couldn't see him? no. was it dark? no. -perhaps he was hiding somewhere. in the wardrobe, a cupboard. i didn't see him because he wasn't there. were you afraid? afraid? -no. would you go back there with me? now? yes. yes. -i... cabbie. hello. take us to the opera house. what, now? -now. well, it's closed. yes, i know. quick as you can. all right. -come on, girl. no one ever seems to lose anything worth losing nowadays. no. like a nice diamond tiara. hello, what have we here? -if you've come to see the show, you're a bit late, dearie. isn't he handsome. he's lovely. he's got his girlfriend with him. looking for a nice dark corner to do a bit of courting, was you? -good evening. my name's hunter. i'm the producer of the opera. yeah, and i'm the queen of england. now be off with you and do your wooing elsewhere. -but i assure you... go on. get out of here. you haven't found a small diamond brooch, have you? when did you lose it? -last night. last night? where was you sitting? stalls. front or back? -front. that's me. let me give you a hand, dear. keep your thieving hands away. it's all mine. -do you think it might still be in the theater? he's right. come on, girls. the front stall's mine. come back, you thieving lot. -they're mine, i say. now, can you remember which direction this voice came from? well, not exactly. sit down exactly just as you were sitting when you heard it. you were sitting there and the voice came from... -the voice came from somewhere over there. the gas. harry. don't be afraid. mr. hunter. -mr. hunter. i do not want you meling... with something that does not concern you. do you understand? no, i do not. who are you? -get away from here, get away. you do not know what may happen to you. i'm not easily frightened. then you should be. my threat is not an idle one. -there are forces of evil at large in the opera tonight. leave the girl and go while you may. do you hear me? leave the girl here and go. it's him. -the phantom. we saw him. harry, look. it's only the old ratcatcher. don't be alarmed. -i won't do you no harm. think i must have given them cleaners a bit of a turn. they're usually gone by the time i'm around. i'm the ratcatcher, you see, sir. place is alive with them. -i searches them out with me lamp... then i sort of hypnotizes them... till i'm near enough to pounce. i'm sorry, lady. i caught a couple of beauties tonight, sir. fat. like young puppies, they are. -here, i'll show you. now, none of that. i'll find them for you in a moment, sir. you'll never believe your eyes. please stop him. -please don't bother on our account. no? i could let you have them both for tuppence, sir. they'd make a lovely pie, you know. we're vegetarians. -pity. here's something for your trouble, though. thank you, sir. thank you very much, sir. well, good night to you then. -wait here. young woman. young woman, you must come with me. it's all right. i did see him, harry. -he was standing there at the top of the stairs. and he had one eye and a mask? yes, all black. and he stood there staring and staring at me. it felt as if he was trying to burn a hole in my brain. -the kettle's on and tea won't be a minute. how are you feeling, my dear? she needs to sleep. quite. a nice cup of tea, then off to bed with you. -you do believe me, harry. yes, i believe you, christine. useless. no good at all. for heaven's sake, get rid of her. -all right, stop. that's enough. next please. i should like to sing adele's song from fledermaus. whenever you are ready, my dear. d with a man like you d d and with a girl like me d d you really should beware d d looking in your eyes d d it is no surprise d -d i'll tell my heart, take care d d and if i should let myself go d d we'll sample some pleasures i know d d we'll drink to each other d d we'll tell one another d d of everlasting love d d of everlasting love d d such a man as you d d with a girl like me d d you really should beware d d looking into your eyes d d it is no surprise d d i'll tell my heart, take care quite excellent. needs a little work, of course. -tell her to come to my office. very good, my dear. thank you. thank you very much. that's all, thank you very much. -what' s going on, ambrose? i have been endeavoring to find someone... with the ability to do justice to the leading role in my opera, mr. hunter. i thought you'd agreed that miss charles was to sing it. you may have thought so. now, if you'll excuse me. -no. have i not made myself sufficiently clear? miss charles is not to sing in my opera. not in the leading part nor in any other. she has received her dismissal this morning. -you small-minded, fatheaded... be careful, mr. hunter. because she refuses to go to your apartment... in the mile of the night... you're dismissed. you understand? -now get out of my way. sorry, harry. he made me send the note round by hand. i'll go and see her. if anything else happens, let me know, will you? -yes. no, he can't. it's not fair. of course it's not. if he's stopped me from playing st. joan... -not to let me sing at all, it just isn't fair. fairness isn't one of his virtues, christine. i forgot to ask... i'm sorry. it's all right, mrs. tucker. -i thought you'd like a glass of sherry wine, but perhaps... nothing i'd like better, mrs. tucker. i'll drink it... while miss charles is getting ready to come and have lunch with me. no, harry. i couldn't. -of course you could. i insist that you come and celebrate. celebrate, mr. hunter? yes, mrs. tucker. today, we both got the sack. -oh, no, harry. oh, yes, harry. so we've both got nothing to do and all the time in the world to do it in. and i'll allow you just... ten minutes of it to get ready. not a moment more. -i'll try. i wonder if you could tell me where you got this. got it? i made it. you... -where did you get this music from? that's some of the professor's. professor petrie. he used to teach singing at the academy. when he remembered to go there, that is. -he was a little bit... but very nice. he used to play the piano all day long. i have mostly musicians stay with me, you know. he used to play night and day. -i just loved listening to him. then the neighbors started banging on the walls, so i had to put a stop to it. do you think it'd be possible for me to have a closer look at that music? well... if it's not too much trouble. -no, he left a whole pile of it here. he left me enough to paper the house. but i threw some of it out. here's some, but it's a bit faded now. i remember that bit. -what became of this professor, mrs. tucker? he was killed. burned to death in a fire. it was terrible. a fire? -at a printer's. he'd gone to see them about printing his music. the whole place caught fire while he was there. do you know the name of this printer's, mrs. tucker? let me see. -yes. it was piggot's. by london bridge. ready. in five minutes exactly. -good girl. thank you very much, mrs. tucker, for all your help. what about your sherry... of course. goodbye, mrs. tucker. -the fire, sir. that would be a bit before my time. perhaps you would care to see our mr. weaver, sir? he's the master printer. he's been here a very long time. -yes, i'd like that very much. i'll see if he's available, sir. what is this, harry? it's a long story. i'll tell you over lunch. -mr. weaver? you were enquiring about the fire, sir? yes, well, rather about someone who died in the fire. no one died. but i understood that someone was burned to death in the fire. -someone was badly burned, sir. but he didn't die. not here, anyway. what happened? he broke in one night, sir. -he must have knocked over a lamp or something... and put the whole place ablaze. he tried to put it out with... what he thought was water, sir. but it was some of this. for etching the plates. he threw a whole jarful at the flames. -some of it splashed back in his face. nitric acid, sir. what became of him? he ran out screaming. no one ever saw any more of him. -and you've no idea who he was? no, sir. nor why he broke in? he was a burglar. i suppose, sir. -thank you very much for seeing us, sergeant. i'm sure you must be very busy. it is quite all right, sir. i'm enquiring about a fire. a fire, sir? -at piggot's, the printers. do you remember it? i remember it well, sir. i was on duty. saw it all. -there was a man badly burned. there was indeed, sir. he came running out of that place screaming blue murder... if you'll pardon the expression, miss. where did he run to? straight up the street and into the river. -the river? that's right, miss. straight in, he went. about here. so that's where he went. -who, harry? who is this mystery man? i'll tell you over lunch. lunch? it's almost three. -is it? well, tea then. we'll have tea in the park, then a row on the lake... and dinner at frascati's. and then perhaps we'll have some supper. the cab's stopped. -has it? well, tell him to go round the park again. harry, we can't. he's been round four times already. well, perhaps he likes it. -cabbie, would you mind taking us round the park again? well, sir, being a pleasant enough evening for myself... i wouldn't mind a bit. i don't suppose old lightning here would grumble much either. but, me missus... -me missus has a nervous disposition. she don't like being left on her own at nighttime. she don't. so, if you wouldn't mind, sir. i understand perfectly. -thought you would, sir. looks like i'll have to take you home. thank you for a lovely day. the first of many, i wouldn't wonder, miss, eh? i think i'll just go and inspect the harness, sir. -all in order, sir. all in order, sir, with the harness. yes, i'll just climb aboard again. harry, you never did tell me about that mystery man, you know. it's quite simple. -i found out how ambrose d'arcy managed to write such good music. he didn't. someone else wrote it for him. are you sure? near enough. -what are you going to do? nothing. the real composer's dead. we've enough trouble without making more. all right then, sir? -very all right, thank you. all right. we're away then. come on, lightning. we'll soon be home now. -i am going to teach you to sing, christine. i am going to give you a new voice. a voice so wonderful... that the theaters all over the world will be filled with your admirers. you will be the greatest star the opera has ever known. greater than the greatest. -and when you sing, christine... you will be singing only... for me. d most noble lord dauphin d d i am sent by god d d to bring succor to your kingdom no, not like that. now start again. d most noble lord dauphin d d i am sent by god d d to bring succor to your kingdom if you watch me carefully, my dear, i'll give you your cue. -just one moment, mr. rossi. i am taking this rehearsal. when i require any help from you, i shall ask for it. then you had better ask for it now because you most certainly need it. what did you say? stop it, stop it i say! -you're dismissed. good morning, gentlemen. what are they playing at? stop them. stop. -where are you going? stop, i say. you're dismissed. they're all dismissed. you, too. -and you. you come to my office. at once. good morning, sir. good morning. -good morning, sir. good morning. what's happening, bill? we've all been dismissed. what? -you, too? yes, and i can't say i'm sorry. good morning, sir. good morning. how could they do this to me? -my first opera and i'm let down on every side. first, i'm haunted by ghosts, and now all this. it really is too much. well, say something. what am i going to do? -i think you should ask mr. hunter to come back. what? what did you say? i think you should apologize to mr. hunter and ask him to come back. how dare you? -i dare because as manager of this opera house... i am responsible to my director for its welfare. and if i allow you to carry on in this manner, we shall all be made bankrupt. i refuse to stay and listen to this treason. very well. -but if you go, i shall take it upon myself to ask mr. hunter to return. well done, lattimer. i think, i feel quite... brandy. where do you keep it? -i don't know how i dared. i'll never forget the expression on his face. mr. hunter, what have i done? you've proved that you're a man and not a mouse. you've also persuaded me to come back and help you clear up this mess. -will you? will you really? i'll just join you in one of these to celebrate, then we'll get down to work, shall we? thank you, gentlemen, thank you. would you two change places? -that's good. would you come forward a few paces, please? thank you. i am sorry, ladies and gentlemen, i shall have to leave for a few minutes. i hope i won't be very long. -carry on, bill. harry. right, we'll go from the opening scene. her bed hasn't been slept in, but she must have gone up there... because her coat was hanging in the wardrobe... and the window was wide open, and i never leave the window wide open... because you know why. she can't have left very early, can she, without your knowing? -i'm up at 5:30 every morning. i don't sleep very well at the best of times. wind, you know. i'm terribly troubled with the wind. just as soon as she does return, perhaps you could ask her to come to the theater. -i shall tell her at once, mr. hunter. i just can't think what could have happened to her. better. again. better. -again. i can't. you little fool. do you think you can become a great singer without suffering? do you think i have not suffered? -the scoundrel. but sir, there is 10 years' work there. 10 years of my life. surely 50 is... i'm sorry, i accept. thank you. -thank you. sing! use that wonderful gift that god has given you. good. now the melody. -listen carefully to the phrasing. you begin very quietly. then build. keep the tone spinning. build your voice until the auditorium is filled... with the beautiful sound of it. -how can you be sure that he died? that's what i want to know. what makes you sure? current's very fast here. he'd never have stood a chance. -that's why we're sure. did you drag the river? well, did you? i've just said the river runs very fast, sir. what would have been the good? -now, i've got work to do, sir, even if you haven't. all right, sergeant. well, thank you anyway. water. now, this time sing properly. -do you understand? use your voice, do you understand? use your voice from here. let her sleep. what was that? -scoundrel, it's my music. it's my music. it's my... here, professor petrie. you'd better take him. did he harm you? -no. how do you know my name? i know who you are, professor, because i made it my business to find out. i also know something else about you. the opera we've been rehearsing was composed by you, wasn't it? -yes, that is true. you took it to ambrose d'arcy for help in getting it published, didn't you? what happened? what happened? i took him all of my music. -? 50, no more. but there is 10 years' work there. ten years of my life, sir. surely ? -50 is... am i not correct in thinking that... you have never had any of your work published, professor... petrie? not, not yet, but... so you are completely unknown. -of course, but everybody... there are many unknown composers... who'd be only too glad to have their works published... without any fee at all. come, i'm a busy man. no. there's a full symphony here, sir, and two quartets... and a concerto for viola. -and an opera, sir, a new opera, complete. i'm sorry. i accept. come in tomorrow and the papers will be ready to sign. it is embarrassing for me to have to ask this... but perhaps you could manage... -what? i owe my landlady quite a sum. a small advance, perhaps. tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. thank you. -look at it. look at it, man. filthy. yes, my lord. do you expect me to be seen driving in that? -no, my lord. do it again. yes, my lord. have it ready by this evening. yes, my lord. -lord ambrose. please excuse this intrusion, but i must see you. they said i should find you here. my music... tomorrow. -tomorrow may be too late. they're printing my music with... i think you mean my music, don't you? i don't understand. i bought it from you, remember? -yes, to publish, yes. but they're printing your name on the cover. my name on my music. is that so surprising? you can't mean it. -if you'll kindly excuse me. you thief. scoundrel. cabbie, go. it's my music. -who he is, i do not know... and as he cannot speak, i shall never know. sometimes he's uncontrollable, like a wild animal. but he has saved my life... and has looked after me ever since. and you've lived down here all these years? and i shall die down here. -look, i am dying already. but before i go... i implore you, allow me to finish one thing. let me teach you to use that wonderful voice that god has given you. then you may never see me again... but you will never forget. -please, give me a little time. a month, two weeks. one week even. one week, and i will work a miracle. she will sing for me as she has never sung before. -and i will hear my work performed. please. d as from tonight d d there will be a curfew d d and every man, woman and child d d will be in their house by sunset can i help you, lord ambrose?

christine. the leningrad order of lenin film studio "lenfilm" amphibian man -based on the novel by a. belyaev screenplay by a. golburt, a. ksenofontov, a. kapler directed by a. kazansky, v. chebotaryov director of photography e. rozovsky production designers v. ulitko, t. vassilkovskaya -music by a. petrov sound by i. valter english subtitles by tatiana kameneva starring v. korenev as ichthyander a. vertinskaya as gutiere m. kozakov as zurita -n. simonov as salvatore a. smiranin as balthazar v. davydov as olsen the events depicted in this film started with the appearance of a mysterious, strange creature. it looked like a human with fish scales and huge toad-like eyes. the fishermen dubbed him a "sea devil". -one day his footprints were found on the beach. the local people claim that at night he was riding a dolphin, loudly blowing his horn. the newspapers reported that he had drowned a fishing boat, dragged two young nuns into the ocean and swallowed a pearl diver. don pedro! the sea devil has struck again! -such idiotic junk! believe me, where there's smoke, there's fire. nonsense. the devil! the devil! -the sea devil! what's the matter, you lazy good-for-nothings? why did you stop working? a curse on your worthless heads! get back! -the devil! who did you see? the devil, master. then go and get acquainted with him. let him cool down. -he's seeing all kind of nonsense. balthazar! how much do i owe you? you must be kidding. it's me who owes you lots of money. -then explain why your daughter is acting like a princess? i couldn't dream of a better husband for gutiere than you. that's why i persuaded her to be your guest on your boat. you must show her what a nice man you are. i've done nothing else lately! -you don't seem to notice me. i've noticed how you kicked christo overboard. wait a minute, gutiere! it's true that sometimes i'm rough with others. but with you... -i love you. i can offer you both my name and my fortune. you're not one who gives away so much for nothing. that's how you repay me for my kindness. must i pay already? -you can't get away by running! then i'll swim! she's got a will of her own! father! send my things ashore! -that's too much! come back now! you better go get her. there's a shark! gutiere! -help! didn't you see the shark? we're afraid of the sea devil! swine! easy now. -poor little darling! it's a miracle. i saw the shark myself. all of us saw it. i saw it too. -i split the shark wide open. i understand everything, father. i wish i could love him. but i can't help it. listen, gutiere... -what will become of us? you know how many debts we have. think of me and my old age. i hope you're feeling better. yes, thank you, don pedro. -she wants to tell you something important. really? you tell him, father. don't worry. you can make a public announcement. -she will marry you. to gutiere! to you! and to our children! your daughter won't be sorry. -i'm rich as i am. but soon, i'll be fantastically rich. you know, i have an idea. i'm going to get rid of those bums and employ just one pearl diver. guess who it will be! -the sea devil! come on. an hour ago, you didn't believe in his existence. i still don't believe in any sea devil. but this is some smart creature living under water. -i've seen him as close as you now. where? never mind. i've seen him. miss, are you all right? -i came to find out how you are. the devil! the sea devil is out there! down there, on the anchor! get the nets ready! -hurry! we won't risk our necks going after the sea devil. move! the net! maybe you just imagined it? -no, i didn't, father! he talked to me. faster! use some muscle! hurry! -i'll get him! no matter what it costs me! you coming in with me on this? but i got no money... never mind that! -i'll lend you the money. you're in the family now. once we've got this creature, then we'll settle up. i see this place is still under seven locks. come in, mr. olsen. -please, wait here. ah, olsen! it's been a long time! it wasn't easy getting in. it wasn't intended to keep you away. -break those secret doors. don't bury yourself alive. i have my reasons to be afraid of people. twenty years ago a band of ignorant fools destroyed my laboratory. they even tried to shoot me. -i hope you're not accusing the entire human race of being as unprincipled as those vandals. you still treat patients, don't you? i'm a scientist. that's my duty. dear friend, i've come here for two reasons. -first, what can dr. salvatore tell our newspaper about the sea devil? devils don't exist, either in the sea or on land. that's all you can print as my statement. couldn't it be some creature not yet known to scientists? you must be hungry. -will you join me for breakfast? he's been seen here several times. dive in once more, balthazar. drop the anchor. good! -you look like a pirate! with such knives my forefathers would slice out the stomachs of anyone who go in their way. well, what? i saw... what? -him? no. his burrow. it leads somewhere over there. who lives up there? -god. quit joking. i'm not joking. he must be a god. he makes lame people walk, he gives blind people their sight. -we've got a devil in the bay and some god over it... it's the home of the great dr. salvatore. we won't waste our time then. but that tunnel, that's where we're going to catch him. last week the prosecutor read my article and a fine was imposed on our newspaper. -we don't have any money, our newspaper is for poor people. won't you be willing to lend us ten thousand? otherwise, we'll be closed. my dear olsen! if it's for you, you have only to ask. -but i won't give anything for your newspaper. thank you very much, but personally, i don't need a thing. with me it's a matter of principle, not to get involved in politics. so let's leave everything the way it is? not at all! -the unfortunate people should be helped. not by a politician, or a newspaper man, but by a scientist. really? yes. and that means you? -exactly! i will lead the poor to a land of abundance where no one will oppress them. where to? heaven? the moon? -no. to the ocean! at the bottom of the ocean, there're neither poor nor wealthy. everyone will be free and happy there. will it be a republic of the drowned? -don't laugh. i am letting you in on a great secret. can you imagine an ocean populated by people capable of breathing under water like fishes? dear friend, that sounds like a fairy tale. no, it's not a fairy tale. -come with me. ichthyander! the sea devil! if you don't mind. it's my son, ichthyander. -the first citizen of the underwater republic. change your clothes and come back here. all right, father. as a young boy, he contracted an incurable lung disease. in a desperate attempt to save him -i replaced his lungs with the gills of a shark. this risky operation was a success. that's when i got the idea of creating an underwater republic. i bow before your surgeon's skill. but your idea of the underwater republic is an utopian dream. -what's to prevent poor and rich from springing up again? i've already read all that in your newspaper. suppose you plant gills in everybody who wants them. human nature won't change. people will miss the land. -let's stop this discussion. don't be afraid. this is my friend, olsen. tell me, you... don't you miss people, the land? -today you have learned more than enough. and remember, not a word to anyone! did you forget what you were supposed to bring me back? did i ask you for that? stop that. -you're behaving like a little boy. you've been attracting quite a bit of attention. i don't want people to know about you. the newspapers are printing ridiculous tales about you. father, i saved a girl's life yesterday. -she was drowning. did she see you? i don't think so. she was unconscious. she is very beautiful. -but her eyes are so sad. how much i would like to see her smile. put your notes in order... and go to bed. father, i want to sleep in the sea tonight. -it's not good for you to be in the water all the time. it might be bad for your lungs. we would, we would, we would cross the sea line. we would, we would, we would drink a lot of wine. with the ocean over, whether we're drunk or sober, -no one will ever care a dime. hey, the sailor! you've made too long your travel. i've forgotten even how you look. now i'm in love with the seafaring devil. -i have got him fast on my hook! weigh anchor, at attention, pause. over at the rhumb line, steady on the course! to that sea-roving bum we'll take a barrel of rum. the devil will be tempted, of course! -hey, the sailor! you've made too long your travel. i've forgotten even how you look. now i'm in love with the sea-roving devil. i have got him fast on my hook. -olsen, ichthyander has left for town. he doesn't know anyone but you there. try to find him! all right. i will. -a fisherman leaves the danger to seek and bids farewell to his wife. he may go to sleep on the bottom of the sea and never return to life. he keeps to wave from his boat deck as long as the shore he can see. if the fisherman didn't come back, -he found his peace in the sea. he'd rather lie in the darkness, the cool darkness to the end than go on suffering on this cruel and tough land. the years will fly and flock, the waves will surge and rock, and the gloomy, black cities will disappear in the white fog. -his wife will fall on the ground and weep. the fisherman explain could not that he had chosen in the sea, blue and deep, the most beautiful road. his orphaned children he'd only beg to forgive him and try to see -if the fisherman didn't come back, he found his peace in the sea. he'd rather lie in the darkness, the cool darkness to the end than go on suffering on this cruel and tough land. have a cup of coffee. go on, take it. -please! wait! why are you running away? hasen! have you seen a young man, a bit taller than me, with black curly hair and blue eyes? -what kind of shoes was he wearing? i can't tell you that. what are you doing? let me go! help! -stop the thief! here, everybody, take some fish. there's plenty! take it! what is going on here? -this madman is giving away all my fish. why is he so greedy? there's plenty of fish in the ocean. you'd better pay him. do you have any money? -money? yes. i don't know. are you really mad? i think i've got some. -is that enough? a crazy millionaire! there's no tastier drink than yours in the whole city. another one? no, thank you. -i'd better be going. did you pawn your watch again? they shut the paper down. and as if it's not enough trouble. my friend's son has run away. -i've covered the entire city. gutiere, may i borrow your car? to go look for that boy. we have sold our car. you've been away for too long. -you seemed to think i was coming too often. please, don't start this, olsen. listen, olsen. yes? i'd like to do something to help your paper. -i was given a pearl necklace. you could pawn it. thank you. it's locked up in my father's safe. let's meet tomorrow at the black rock. -all right? all right. who were you talking to? just an old friend. my fiancee might be a little more discreet. -maybe we ought to use thicker rope? don't worry. he'll never break out of this. look... what can i do for you? -hi! how do you do? what a strange town this is. and the people are strange, too. pardon me, but what do you want? -who are you? you don't know me, but i've seen you once before. you keep your hands to yourself. wait! i came here to tell you i'm in love with you. -so it's love at first sight? there really isn't any other love, is there? another old friend? go to your father, dear. you leave her alone. -she doesn't want to. can't you see? get out of here! does he own this place? then i won't go. -oh, yes you will! let's go some place else. police! father! get away! -run! don't let him get away! it's all because of you. all the troubles you've caused me. it's a miracle that you came back in one piece. -i must go back there again today. again? was it for nothing i kept you hidden away from them? you're happier than they are. you're the master of the sea. -i don't want to live among the fishes anymore. i will die of loneliness. why did you make me to be not a man. you must never doubt that you are a man. if i'm a man, i have the right to be in love. -very well then, go. but you'd better go by sea. it will be less dangerous. thank you, father! i promise i'll be careful. -pull in at my command. and look sharp! pull up, hurry! come on, up! faster! -come on! move! shoot! don't shoot! damn you all! -i told you we had to have a heavier rope! i'll be better off without you. don pedro! .. let's settle up. -how much do you owe me? don pedro, i'm almost your father-in-law. you've been leading me on with that wedding. the wedding will be on saturday. i swear! -goodbye, daddy! i'm going! wait a minute! i told don pedro you'll marry him on saturday. father, i haven't made my mind up yet. -we gave him our word. we owe him so much. i will never forget it, but... be reasonable. let's sell the necklace and prepare the dowry. -the necklace? i don't have it anymore, father. are you waiting for your friend? i'm so glad they didn't catch you. before, i felt good only under water. -now i feel good only when i'm together with you. you're talking as if we've known each other for a long time. and yet i don't even know what your name is. my name is ichthyander. and mine's gutiere. -gutiere! like to dance? no. why not? what have you done? -my pearl necklace is in that bag! pearls? the necklace is in the water. that stranger dived in for it. and sanchez followed him. -it's no use! too deep! sanchez! where's the boy who was the first to jump? you'll have to find him by yourself. -there he is! i never thought you were going to come back up. thank you very much. thank you. are you a sailor? -i mustn't say who i am. i'm sorry. another mystery. gutiere! just a minute! -come with me! i'd better not. why not? he's in love with you. whoever gave you that idea? -it's obvious from the way he looks at you. i'll come back tomorrow when you're alone. who were you talking to? he's a marvelous young man. where did he come from? -appeared out of the blue. you've never said this about me. they'll be amazed at the pawnshop. in a month i'll return it to you. i really appreciate it, gutiere. -i keep on imagining that we've met somewhere before. it must have been in a dream. but since we became acquainted, i've grown afraid of the sea. there's nothing to be afraid of. the sea is a gentle place. -when there's a storm up here, the bottom is calm and peaceful. ichthyander! here, look. good heavens! how lovely! -i want you to have them. for me? take them back, or we'll quarrel. why? i want you to keep them. -i can't accept it. please take them. no. listen to me, ichthyander! why did you throw the pearls into the sea? -i would have given you my life, but you wouldn't even accept the pearls. that means you don't believe in my love. you don't love me. on saturday i'm supposed to be getting married. but i won't be, because i've met you. -do you understand? follow me! quick! there he is! hold out your hands. -all right. why? because he almost killed me. where's my daughter's necklace? that's not him! -he never stole the necklace! that's the end of him. he won't come up. we'll live in the suburbs at my villa. it'll be nice to roll round in the grass at my age. -not at my villa, you won't. oh, by the way, you'll want a check... gutiere, how could you ever let this happen? it makes no difference any more. father will pay his debts now. -get a new net. set it up over the hole and don't move until you've caught him. good luck! the new mistress of the villa dolores. i must see her. -you have forgotten too soon about this. even so, i've got to see her. so you're here again. she's locked herself in. break the door. -be a man for once. you're too soft on her. but i love her. and you sleep at her door like a puppy! some man! -gutiere! it's getting ridiculous. what's the matter? have you caught the sea devil? no, no, no. -then what are you doing here? who's watching the net? there isn't any net. and the money? there's no money either. -you drank it up, eh? i want to see my daughter. are you keeping her locked up? pedro, you're hurting me. i dreamed of seeing gutiere rich and happy. -i will not permit you to torture her. she is the one who's torturing me. get out of here! put him out, and never let him come in here again! let go of me! -gutiere! are you awake? don't get scared. it's me. good heavens! -i thought you were drowned. pedro, her door may be closed to you, but her window is open to another man. i was heartbroken. i thought you had drowned. i didn't. -i can breathe under water. that's why people call me the sea devil. but i'm human. my father is dr. salvatore. forgive me for not having told you my secret before. -i'm so happy you're alive! but why have you married another man? i believed you had drowned. don pedro saved me from the shark. it was i who saved you. -you did? if only you said so! what have you done! it's not too late yet. i'm not going to give you up to anybody! -come on! hey, boy, give me a paper! the latest news! hey, boy! come here. -take this to olsen at the newspaper. go on! go on, jump in! and bring me back a pearl. i'm not going to keep you here for long. -i spent a lot of money on a net. who's going to reimburse me? a few pearls, and i'll let you go. you'll let me go? you mean that? -my word of honor. scoundrels! in forty minutes he brings back a whole fortune... good boy! hop in again. -you gave your word. why, i'd have strangled you if i didn't need you! get back to work, you toad! i'm not going back in the water! this will change your mind for you! -beat him until he comes to his senses. a submarine! collision course! why the hell is it coming here? lash this toad fast to an anchor and drop him over. -scoundrels! let go of him! do we have any guns? what's that? this is a harpoon canon effective at a range of 100 yards. -that won't be much help. captain, you're keeping the son of dr. salvatore. we demand that you release him at once! we've never heard of him! lay off! -this is an automatic canon. the very first shell will blow your tub out of the water. throw your guns in the water! to the count of two! one! -two! get a boat ready! you've got my son. we have no strangers aboard. word of honor. -he is here! they have him tied to the anchor! make them lift the anchor! order your man to raise it, or we'll shoot. hey! -up the anchor! is that the girl? yes, father. father, i won't go without her. open that cabin. -you can't take her. she is my wife. there's nothing we can do. the law is on his side. here's a souvenir for you! -we can't stay here. we'll have to leave. but where? we'll go to the southern seas. we'll make a fresh start. -to set up an underwater republic is not that easy. my plans have been frustrated by a mere chance. there're no guarantees against such criminals as zurita. but if it hadn't been zurita, it would have been someone else... what a waste to spend your skills on a futile dream. -i think everything will be all right. doctor! the police are here! run! they can't do anything to me. -dr. salvatore, you're under arrest. and you must be ichthyander? you're under arrest, too. who have you got? salvatore and his son. -where have you hidden the son? that's the reporter, olsen. why didn't you tell me? you wouldn't have believed me. i resemble dr. salvatore so much. -don't waste your wisecracks on us. you'll have your turn soon enough. thank you, but don't hurry on my account. we've got him, the pretty boy! dr. salvatore arrested! -sea devil caught! pirates attack schooner medusa! pedro zurita brings charges! excuse me, doctor. do you remember me? -no, i don't. and i will always remember you. you saved my son's life. oh, yes... how is he getting on? -a visitor for the doctor. doctor, it grieves me to see you here. but if you permit me... what do you want? i can return you your freedom, your laboratory, money... -you? yes, precisely. i can get you out of here, but you... you'll create thousands like ichthyander. think of it, doctor! -we'll conquer the ocean. we'll be the richest people on earth! get out! calm down! your life and the life of your son depend on my word. -just hope they hang you before him! you're a scoundrel! a skulking dog! you shouldn't get so upset, doctor. you haven't any other way. -don't be afraid of them, doctor. i will help you to escape. you said that i'd saved your son's life once. i must ask you to save my boy. what about you? -i can't get both of you out. i'm an old man. it makes no difference where i die. as you wish. do you have any friends you can rely on? -yes, i do. who is there? it's me. go home, father. don pedro is still up. -open up! what happened, father? "tomorrow i will help ichthyander escape to australia. "do you want to go with him? olsen." -not only does he escape, but he wants my wife beside! police! i beg of you on my knees... don pedro... police! -hallo. this is the police. speak up! who is calling? police, send someone over to the villa dolores. -i have murdered a man. gutiere! open the door, quickly! you must go to olsen's. and what about you, father? -i've got things to do here. here's the entrance. the main cell block. we'll come out this way. you have to park the truck over here. -everything's clear. so, mr. olsen, it'll be at 9 sharp. let's check our watches. now you can say goodbye to him, doctor. come on out now! -father! father! have they kept you in that tank all the time? yes. scoundrels! -they've probably ruined your lungs! forgive me, son. i tried to make you the happiest man in the world. and i destroyed your happiness entirely. forgive me, and farewell. -what about you? farewell! time's up. got a pass? all right, drive in. -leave the gates open. i'll dump this and go back. what's that truck? i didn't give any pass for it. go to that truck. -he's been waiting for you. don't lose time. move! it's a fake! sound the alarm! -olsen... i'm dying... did they hit you? what is it? i can't breathe. -i can live only in the water. i think we got away from them. what's wrong with him? tell me! is he dead? -he's alive! but a terrible thing has happened. ichthyander won't be able to breathe air any more. he'll have to live in the water from now on. that's it. -i was forbidden to love you. still, i loved you. they separated us, but i found the way back. now that all our troubles are mostly behind us, i have to say goodbye to you. -i will always miss the land. and the land will always remember you. i'm sure you'll be happy one day. i want you to be happy. we mustn't wait too long. -i will do everything in my power to free your father from prison. thank you. farewell. the end welcome to england, madam. -mademoiselle ste-euverte. i trust the crossing was smooth? perfectly, thank you. quiet, quiet! the house mascot, madam. -this way, if you please. i'm glad you had a smooth crossing. i think madam will like the room. it's the best we have. mademoiselle. -i beg your pardon? i am mademoiselle. this is it. the room will do very well, thank you. put it down. -madam would like some breakfast? coffee perhaps? oh, no, nothing. nothing at all. come in. -you are from the castle? yes. you have the letters? i have them here, madam. mademoiselle. -give them to me. they were very hard to get, mademoiselle. the wear and tear on my nerves... oh, yes, yes, please. and i had to sit up, night after night, waiting. -i quite understand. thank you, mademoiselle. 11th dragoons, general salutes. he's retiring, you know. retiring? -so soon? they're giving him something - one of those big flags or an old sword. i'd better get back. carry on, major. quiet, please. -quiet, please. quiet. three cheers for the general. leo! leo... -leo! sir eglamore, that valiant knight fa la lanky down dilly, he took up his sword and he went to fight, fa la lanky down dilly and as he rode o'er hill and dale -all armoured in a shirt of mail fa la la la la la lanky down dilly there leaped a dragon right out of her den fa la lanky down dilly -that had slain i know not how many men fa la lanky down dilly but when she spied sir eglamore, oh, that you had but heard her roar... take that to my quarters. -yes, sir. come on, come on! if i were your age, robert, those little virgins down there, they wouldn't last out the summer. do you think i lack character, sir? you want to get after it, boy. -as your legal guardian, i'm entitled to tell you about these things. if only you would, sir. on the other hand, what happens? i'm not too sure, sir. you take one of these little virgins under the apple tree, you wake up ten minutes later, what have you got? -hm? eh? i'll tell you. you're married to her and keeping her mother. but i'm too young for marriage, sir. -in no time at all, you'll be too old. you'll be like me, you see. you'll be sitting at your desk, dictating your memoirs. they're coming! oh, i want that. -let me have a look! and, robert? sir? you get the urge sometimes, i hope. yes, i do, sir. -good. life without the urge is unthinkable. now, then, get on with your work, all of you. what is this, a kitchen or a dosshouse? really, cook! -i feel as sprightly as a two-year-old, almost like a widower. good morning. we'll work later, my boy. i must get this damn corset off. ooh! -very good, sir. agnes, has the new girl arrived yet? not yet, sir. well, let me know when she does, will you? melanie? -it's rosemary, sir. of course it is. i never forget a pretty little face. yes, madam? you took your time. -has he come back yet? i'm not certain, madam. well, find out. find out at once. yes, madam. -later, my child. later. later. hello? well, answer me, somebody, answer me! -agnes, has he come in? what do you mean, you're not sure? well, go and look for him. i know he's around somewhere. leo? -i saw you, leo. i know you're there. yes, er, i am here, my love. yes, yes. what are you doing? -oh, er, just changing. yes, you're thinking. i can hear you. what are you thinking about? oh, i am thinking about you, my love. -hmm. liar. you're thinking about women. damn and blast it! there! -i've caught you out. you're swearing because i've caught you out. don't be ridiculous. i'm swearing at my corsets, my love. i'm only ill because of you. -come now, my love. i'm ill because i know what you're doing. i am merely unfastening my corset, madam. you're thinking about women as you do it. i know. -what drab have you got in there now? oh! oh! you're sighing. what's going on? -oh, nothing. nothing's going on. inside your head, though. what's going on in there? my head, madam, is out of bounds. -it's the only place i've got left where i can have a bit of peace. i'll get into it one day. you'll find me there, when you least expect it. as you wish, madam. -as you wish. meanwhile, i shall take the doctor's advice and close the door on you. leo i forbid it. leo! -damn you, madam! damn you, damn you! he's coming. papa! papa! -yes, what is it? what shall we do about dresses for the ball? do nothing about them. how can you say that, papa? new dresses give young girlies ideas. -but we've nothing to wear. then wear nothing. it's much more jolly. robert, have you got those notes in there? we need new dresses, papa. -we've grown, papa. you never stop growing. have i grown? people grow till they're 25. not if they've got any tact, they don't. -both: but, papa! oh, very well. robert will take you down to mrs bulstrode's dress shop later on and then you can er... have you decided which one of us to marry? -one or the other, robert. will you kindly go away? you are not allowed in here. what did i say to you just now? robert will take us down to mrs bulstrode's dress shop later. -oh, my god, they're ugly. aren't they ugly? how can you enjoy a pretty face and bring that into the world? your daughters have certain qualities, sir. yes, i know, my boy, but they're the wrong ones, unfortunately. -sit down, robert. sit down. now, where were we? relations between the sultan and the government, sir. oh, yes, yes. -yes, that was the day they made off with two of our missionaries. yes. you see, they got hold of these two fellas, had a bit of fun with them, sent them back dead as mutton, minus...one or two of their spare parts. of course it was an insult to the flag. i should say it was, sir. -yes, it certainly was. we had to mount an expedition. but, oh, my boy, robert, what a campaign that was! what a campaign! we got our money's worth for those two angel-makers. -the heathens we ran through. good clean steel, you see, my boy, and none of your bloody nonsense. slaughtered the lot of them left, right and centre. yes. yes. -then there was the women. oh, yes, sir? yes. those native girls. little things, crouching naked - little minxes with the devil in their eyes, limbs like silk, and the figures, my lad. -you, your sword still steaming in your hand. you've killed. you're the master. she knows it, you know it. there in the hot, dark tent. -the two of you alone. the hot, dark tent? hm? what? er, what...what happened then, sir? -well, damn it all, robert, we're not savages. we er...turned them over to the sisters of mercy at rabat. blast. there's that grogan ruining the memoirs again. ah, i see you're doing your scientific research again, dr grogan. -yes. what's the matter with her this time? well, there's a little leak in the top radiator. there's a water pump at the bottom, and when the water goes up... would you like me to tell you about my old stallion's fetlocks? -i see you've got your blues on. yes, put'em on. and how's the invalid? any scenes today, hm? oh, no, no, no, no. -a small one, and i took your advice. i closed the door on her. good, good. the only reason she won't walk is to rouse your pity and stop you leaving her. ah, it's blackmail, that's what it is, blackmail. -to think i once loved her. huh. it's happened to all of us, general. yes, because before becoming a professional invalid, emily had quite an amorous disposition, you know. -really? yes. did i ever tell you she was an opera singer? often. yes. -of course, i made her give it all up. and now she hates you for it. well, i don't see why. she's gone on giving the same performance for 20 years. just for me. -a little wearing, general. yes. where's your coat? i left it in the car. shall i answer it, sir? -no, ignore it, my boy, ignore it, and close the door, for god's sake. very good, sir. how's your wife, grogan? oh, running well. i treat her as an early-model motorcar, you know. -it's fascinating how these ancient machines continue to work so efficiently. hmm, well, you'd better go up and lubricate my old heap. damn good parade they gave you today, general. yes, it was, wasn't it? they'll miss you, won't they? -well, i hope so, yes. you'll be at home more. do you imagine i hadn't thought of that? just look at me. all the gold trimmings here, you see. -underneath, a boy's heart dying to give his all. and that's what they call a fine career. would it help if i told you much the same story? not in the slightest. i haven't marked your card yet. -and me, too. you promised me the polka, ghislaine. don't forget me. i was going to have the waltz before the english arrived. only two dances left. -now, who shall it be? me, ghislaine. i asked you before the others. all right, andré. i shall have you, because your name begins with a. -and you, zachariah, because your name begins with z. a bientôt, messieurs. oh, ghislaine! ghislaine, i'll change my name. quite finished, young man? -oh, so sorry, sir. may i see your carnet de bal, mademoiselle? but...my card is full, major. it is major, is it not? major fitzjohn, commanding her majesty's 1 1th dragoons, at your service. -then i cannot refuse, sir. ghislaine! yes, leo. it is i. ghislaine. -ghislaine! what are you doing here? there's going to be a devil of a row. good. that's why i came. -sh, my love, she's got ears everywhere. oh, let me look at you. you. myself. my own. -i took the night express, and then the packet, and then the day express. oh, my amazon! but should you have travelled so far alone? on the train, a man spoke to me. what? -! he asked me the time. swine! but i was perfectly calm. i was armed. -careful! oh, you have it still. hmm. it has protected me all these years. for you, leo. -thank you. thank you. but now i find you are retired. oh, only from the army, my darling, never from our great love. oh, good. -that's all i want to know. ghislaine, you can't stay here. of course i can. emily's next door. it's quite impossible. -everything is possible now, leo. yes, it is. of course it is. but not here. allow me to take a room at the inn for you, for us. -i have already taken it. oh, wonderful. you've arranged everything, then. everything, and i have here in my reticule evidence that will make you free, leo. our long years will not have been wasted. -17 years. 17 years since the cavalry ball at saumur. i'd just been posted to france, major fitzjohn. oh, leo, the enchantment of that first waltz. what was the name of that waltz? -the waltz of the toreadors. i shall never forget it. neither shall i. what is it? we should not be here alone. -alone, mademoiselle? but we're together. we must always be together. but, major, we hardly know each other's name. mine is leo, and we know each other's heart, mademoiselle. -oh! mademoiselle, we've always known one another. we've met a thousand times in our dreams, only to awake to the emptiness of life without one another. you are too rash, major. oh, indeed i am, mademoiselle. -i am. you see, my heart beats like a cavalry charge. it gallops towards its object - its sweet, sweet object - and then nothing in the world can hold it back. oh, major, you must not. oh, but i must, i must. -we must. it's our destiny. our fate. oh. who is that woman? -there is no woman but you. there never could be. but that lady watching us, who is she? that, mademoiselle, is my wife. excuse me, sir. -excuse me, sir. what is it? what? what? the new one's come, sir. -the new what's come? the new girl, sir, and the doctor's left. look here, i've no time to choose chambermaids now. what's she like? on the plump side, sir. -on the plump side? engage her, will you? engage her. you see how it is here, my love. endless, endless household matters. -go to the inn. we shall meet there later. it's no use, leo. i'm determined to stay with you. my love, emily will never allow it. -she will have to. i have proof that she's unfaithful. emily unfaithful?

we got a goin' away present for you. let's go. a what? a what? -no! i'm your attorney. i've been assigned by the court to represent you. i'm a public defender. i've been asked by the prosecutor to see if we can cut a deal, which means plead guilty or cop out. -let me ask you this: are you guilty? of what? of the marijuana, possession of marijuana. uh, i mean, i don't know. -i can't get a trial or something? well, you can get a trial. they call that cop or rock. you can take the cop, we plead, or you can rock, which means we can take it to trial. but if you lose, you're looking at ten. -mandatory ten. you have to do 85 percent of ten. which means eight and a half years. so wait. if i try to fight it, -i have to serve more time for just trying to fight it? if you get found guilty, you would. and usually, the success ratio of convictions on drug cases, is about 9o to 95 percent. if you lock up ten people, nine, nine and a half go to jail. but the chances of beating it, is like trying to throw a... a snowball into an elephant's mouth at a hundred feet. -you can't make it. you are in trouble. you are a victim, a casualty of war. you got two options, three: you can plead guilty to a simple possession, which is two to three years, eighteen months to two years. -you can go to trial and run the risk of doing ten years if guilty. or, you can cooperate. which means you can rat, snitch, blow the whistle on whoever you want to blow it on, in order to get out. cooperate, which i'm not gonna do. you say i can't even fight it 'cause i'll serve more time. -this doesn't make any fucking sense. none whatsoever, man. it don't make any sense at all. there's niggas out there doing mad shit. my man is down, you know? -they shoot my man, they're running free. there's niggas out there selling all types of shit. i got a quarter pound of weed, and you're telling me here i got to serve five to ten years and there's not shit you can do for me? i don't have any choices? -fuck this old casualty of war shit, man. i'm saying, i'm just out there surviving. what can i do? i know it sounds like a lot of time, but most guys get a lot longer than that, man. the best or most i can do is try to get you two or three. -even if you were innocent, i could only get you two to three. you are a victim, brother. you're black, you're young, you come from the southeast, you're in the inner city. you don't have a chance. your best chance is to see how little time you get before you get back to society. -it ain't about beating it. when they lock you up, you dead. raymond joshua, step out. when you're in this building, i want you to stay alive. so listen carefully to me. -nobody in here is your brother. i don't care if they're as black as you are, or as light as daylight. they are not your brother. you mind your business, son, and you'll stay alive. every day somebody gets shanked in here. -every day somebody gets beaten up in here. we got predators in here, son. we got people that'll cut your throat for nothing but a pack of cigarettes. you mind your business in here, son. do you understand where you are?

what was the first thing that came to your mind? i mean, sure, i know i want to stay off the street. i know i want to be a positive person to my family, right. -but i know that, me personally, if the situation arose where it was either starve or my children starving, or doing the right thing, then, you know, it's trey ball. or monster cody got to do what he got to do. i do not agree with joseph. sadly, too many of our brothers got the mentality of joe, and come here and say, because of this and that, i'm gonna put this in my hand using my family for an excuse. -when all the time, like you said, you got to be responsible for you. so you gonna use, "my family was hungry so i went out and shot a motherfucker for money." fuck no. you still coming to jail. i don't know whether you know it or not, brother, but we are capitalists. -whether we're capitalists on a small scale, we live in a capitalist country. and that is what we are. we are born to learn how to capitalize on whatever it is. it's about money. so joe and john are saying that there are not enough resources out there to help you change your life. -is that true? we just happened to be born our color, and we at the bottom of the ladder. you understand? now, if i could make it out, and have me some real dough, yeah, then it wouldn't be like this. all right. -y'all ready for the poetry reading? yes. i didn't hear everybody. i said are y'all ready for the poetry reading? yes. -ron, you ready? yeah. let's go. the name of my little piece is, uh, "why." i shot three motherfuckers, but i didn't know why. -i guess i just wanted to see something die. you see, i bought this gun for a few rocks just to get even, so i thought, with those shit-eating cops. holding the cold, blue steel in the palm of my hand, not quite sixteen, yet totally a man. my only plan was money in my hand. i wore falacci, gucci, nikes, and eddie b. -i was the coolest motherfucker in southeast dc. school? what the fuck. that was a thing of the past. getting paid, school and all that other square shit could kiss my ass. -mad at my bun, toying with my gun, tipped on over to my favorite poolroom just to have some fun. rips was at full blast, so i chalked up my cue, ready to kick some ass. i played a few hours, beat all the old timers and was about to go. until the three- one of the three bama motherfuckers stepped on my toe. a split second later, whip, bam, it was on. -the ass kicking begun. i ducked a few pool balls and eased out my gun. ratta-tat-tat and that was that. three was whacked. ten years later. -as i sit here in my jail cell about to cry, i'm thinking, i shot three motherfuckers and i don't know why. thank you, ron. oh, i, um, i don't know if all of you guys know, but, um, today's my last day here. -oh, god. i'm gonna miss you guys. we gonna miss you too. especially me. um, they, um, it's so wild that we had this conversation today, because, they have, they cut this program. -and it's just brought home the fact that, you know, it really isn't about rehabilitation anymore, you know? and you were right, joe. like i was trying to tell you earlier, yeah, it's gonna be hard when you leave here. it's gonna be real hard. -it's really fucked up that you were born in southeast, in the ghetto. it's really fucked up that you were born black. it's really fucked up that you've had a hard time in your life. whatever your story is, whatever it is that brought you here in your life, that shit is really fucked up. if you keep shoving the anger and the pain and the frustration down, and you keep saying that's all right, i'm gonna do what i gotta do and you don't let it come out, that keeps pushing you down. -that is your prison. you gotta let that shit out 'cause once you let that frustration out, it doesn't hold you back anymore. it doesn't lock you down. and then you can stand up with some courage. you can say, okay, yeah, it's fucked up, but i am not gonna live like this. -i am going to take my destiny into my own hands. that's the only way to go now. i grew up with guys just like y'all. all of y'all. my brother was sitting in your seat. -my brother's not here anymore. he grew up in your era, joe, in your era, ronald, when everybody wanted to be superfly. remember that? it was all about being superfly or the mac, remember that? now it's about being a gangsta or og. -he had a good heart just like y'all. i know y'all are good guys. the people out there, they see your face in the paper, they think y'all, they think you're monsters. i know you're good guys inside. my brother had a good heart. -i know your dreams. i've been there. but chasing them, thinking you can achieve them by selling drugs... that's just a part of the trap, y'all. that's just a part of the trap. and yeah, you're right, ronald. -the cycle just keeps continuing. who's gonna stop it? y'all got to stop it. y'all been in. y'all can go back out, change your life and show the young brothers that they don't have to come back in here like this. -freedom isn't out here. it's in here. you can be free anytime you want. anytime. never give anyone the power to take away your freedom. -that's yours. it don't belong to nobody but you. remember that. i'm not going to go on and on. besides, my tissue's falling apart. -we gonna miss you, all right? i'm gonna miss you too, red. and i'm gonna miss you too. and i'm gonna miss you too. give me a hug. -all right. all right. ritchy, give me a hug, baby. okay. you gonna be okay? -i'm gonna be all right. you gonna be okay?

no. -so you sell weed for a living? that's it? and you write poetry. and you read books. i never really thought of myself as writing poetry. -you know, i write, i'm here on, i'm really here on a petty weed charge. although, i've been told that i have to cop a plea. and if i do, i may be looking at like a couple of years, but... -i don't know. i don't know how to say... just stay in touch. just stay in touch. you never know. -you never know, you know? i gotta go. you got me thinking. you remember that book that was in my cell? the art of war? -man named sun tzu? some old guy. chinese guy a long time ago. the man said it's about learning to lead people. it's about being able to win wars without violence. -you know what i mean? he wasn't no sucker, now, he'd get ready to get down, you know? but he won wars from the beginning without ever having to use violence. he said that's where the real power is. shit bugged me the fuck out. -i thought what the fuck's this nigga talkin' about? i mean, i thought about it. but how many people really do that, you know? how many people really do that? you did that. -i'm telling you, man, you got more talent than maybe even you know. you got a hell of a lot of decisions. i can't help you with the decisions, man. you know, but i'm always there for you. i've made my decisions, yo. -you can see. there's no fear in my heart no more. there's no fear. i don't give a fuck. i'm scared every day, but i'm not afraid. -you dig?

well run free, baby. run now. it just looks hard, but it's so easy. -just turn around and go. clip all the wires, hookups and hangups, and then you're home free. you can give birth to an excuse so easily, you'll believe it's always been there. part of the natural order, made to order by your forever clever mind. constantly protecting you against things you no longer need to be protected from. -and i believe. i believe like a holy roller, singing, sweating, preaching, go tell it on the mountain, while speaking in twenty different tongues, while diving in ten thousand feet of baptismal water without a life preserver. i believe like my bullet-ridden brother out there somewhere right now gurgling blood through his last breath, spitting out a red ripe prayer so new, so sweet, so baby fresh, so full of truth, he thinks it can save his life. god does not exist in desperation and hope is lying dead somewhere in the sewer down the street, around the corner, in the alley, underneath the feet of somebody, itching, scratching, trembling, jonesing for their next hit and sucking somebody's dick. -i got two minutes, ya'll. i got two motherfucking minutes before i run free or die, ya'll. two minutes before i smash my face into the grill of a mac truck. before i get ten thousand bricks shoved up my ass. before i run free or die. -lauren bell. lauren bell. get her back up here. i need an encore. i need an encore. -you know, it's about spreading love. and i met somebody recently who, um, who touched my, who moved me. and i hope he does the same thing for you. um, this is his first time reading, and he's a big, big talent, and he needs our love and our support. and i give you, ray. -come on up here. yeah, come on, ray. everybody, come on. yeah, come on, ray. do it, now. -take your time. if i could find the spot where truth echoes, i would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future. i would let their future dwell in my past so that i might live a brighter now. now is the essence of my domain and it contains all that was and will be because i am and i will... -i'll try it again. if i could find the spot where truth echoes, i would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future. i would let their future dwell in my past so that i might live a brighter now. now is the essence of my domain, and it contains all that was and will be. -and i am as i was and will be because i am and always will be that nigga. i am that nigga. i am that nigga. i am that timeless nigga that swings on pendulums like vines through minds of booby-trapped minds that are enslaved by time. i am the life that supersedes lifetimes, i am. -it was me with serpentine hair with a timeless stare that with immortal glare turned mortal fear into stone time capsules. they still exist as the walking dead as i do, the original suffer-head, symbol of life and matriarchy's severed head. medusa, i am. i am that nigga. i am that nigga. -i am that niggga. i am the negro. yes, negro. negro from necro. meaning death. -i overcame it, so they named me after it. and i've been spittin' at death from behind and putting "kick me" signs on its back. because i am not the son of sha clack clack. i am before that. i am before. -i am before before. before death is eternity. after death is eternity. there is no death. there's only eternity. -and i be riding on the wings of eternity like, ya, ya, ya, sha clack clack. but my flight doesn't go undisturbed because time makes dreams defer and all of my time fears are turning my days into daymares. and i live daymares reliving nightmares that once haunted my past sha clack clack. time is beatin' my ass. and i be having dreams of chocolate-covered watermelons filled with fried chickens like pinatas. -with little pickaninny sons and daughters standing up under them with big sticks and aluminum foil, hittin' them trying to catch pieces of fallen fried chicken wings. and aunt jemima and uncle ben are standing in the corners with rifles pointing at the heads of the little children. "don't shoot the children!" i shout. "don't shoot the children!" but they say,"it's too late. they've already been infected by time." -but this shit is before my time. i need more time. but it's too late. they start shooting at the children and killing them. one by one, two by two, three by three, four by four, -five by five, six by six. but my spirit is growing seven by seven. faster than the speed of light because light only penetrates the darkness that's already there. and i'm already there. i'm here at the end of the road, which is the beginning of the road beyond time. -but where my niggas at? oh, shit. don't tell me my niggas got lost in time. my niggas are dying before their time. my niggas are serving unjust time. -my niggas are dying because of time. look, um... i just, uh... i just want to apologize for what happened earlier. i didn't, you know, mean for it to get out of hand. -look, no, no, look, i just want to you know that, um... no matter what happens on monday... no matter what you decide to do, i'm gonna be here for you. go home and write your own goddamn poems. goddamn it. -you better get back out there. can't you hear them? just one more. i need to get some air. then you'll come back? -yeah. okay. well, i'll hold the fort down till you get back. thank you. i got your message about the wine club and i'll be there. -dad's kicking me out of the house so he and sherry can have a little party. life really is a circle, isn't it? dad's using my place for a party and just a few years ago, dad would have to leave his house for my parties. if you'd had any parties, that would be filled with irony. -thank goodness you're here. i've got some shocking news. what is it? i found a ring in your father's underwear drawer. what on earth would leave a ring around his underwear drawer? -not around, in. an engagement ring in a jewellery box. dad must be about to ask sherry to marry him. do you know what that means? we're going to hear what mendelssohn's wedding march sounds like on the banjo. -it means she'll be our mother. what are we going to do? there's nothing we can do, niles. it's what dad wants. what'll we call her? -i suppose she'll want us to call her mother. no, that's too formal. no, mama. no, ma. better still. -don't you look nice, ma. yes, i'd love another corn dog, ma. off to the roller derby, ma? that's typical of you two. your father is about to get married, and all you can think about is how it will affect you. -what about me? what about you? sherry's never exactly liked me. you don't think she'll try to make your father get rid of me, do you? no, daphne. -he'd be lost without you. yes, and even if that were to happen, i could always use you. i mean that i would know of a position you could take that... services that you could perform... i would know of an opening... -this is on me. marty, you need to stir the dip more. it's got whole lumps of soup mix in it. sorry. quite the little shindig you two are planning for tonight. -you have the cheese logs. erotic fortune cookies. for after dinner, a bloopers tape. too hot for hee-haw. i see that martha stewart party book i gave you really paid off. -this crowd wouldn't go for froufrou stuff. get them liquored up, put out some corn nuts and they can go all night. when you say all night... here you go, smooth as silk. who's attending this soirée? -just some old friends i'm dying for marty to meet. now let's see, there's ray and lola sherwood. i worked with them in atlantic city when they had a knife-throwing act. marty, try not to stare at her eye. she gets self-conscious. -and let's see. edie's coming with her new fiancé. she finally met him, huh? just this week. they're engaged, and they met this weekend? -well, up until now, it's been kind of a pen-pal relationship. he's been... detained the last few years. you'll need some room for those corn nuts. why don't i just get this pesky priceless sculpture out of your way? i never heard from vic and linda. -did you get a message? no. maybe they left one on my machine. so what're you guys up to tonight? our wine club is having a vertical tasting of the opus one. -well, don't drink too much. you don't drink the wine. you just swish it around and spit it out. we all did that at duke's new year's eve party. course it wasn't wine, it was egg salad. -i just got a message from my manager down at mcginty's. some guy came in asking questions about me. what kind of questions? where i used to work, the people i used to date, and my neighbour said somebody asked her about me, too. somebody's checking up on you. -like a detective? it's probably a credit card company. i wouldn't worry about it. it is a little scary. i wish i knew who it was. -forget it, honey. i've been through this before. private investigators never leave a trail. it could be anyone. if you say so. -which one of you hired him? that is just crazy. who else would have the money to do that? we had nothing to do with it. do you think we'd hire someone to spy on sherry? -i'm insulted. as am i. i jumped to the wrong conclusion. you certainly have. i'm sorry, boys. -it's all right, dad. just forget about it. you hired a detective? how could you? i have never been so insulted. -ok, i'm sorry. i'm just looking out for dad here. what do we really know about this woman? she makes dad happy. that's all we need to know. -some people get married before they know all they should. remember cousin donald? he was married two years before he found out his wife used to be a man. cousin donald is a rare case. most people don't have a hidden past. -and most people have a better eye for details than donald. the woman could pick up a watermelon with one hand. i was just simply trying to get some background information. well, stop it. call it off right now, niles. -consider it done. we've got to run. yeah. goodbye. have a nice time, you two. -we'll save you some cake. thank you. you see that, how sweet she is? i can't believe you're having her investigated. try trusting people. -quick, is someone following me? yes, here comes lady law now. excuse me, ma'am, i saw you cross against the light. i'm going to have to write you a ticket. i'm really sorry about that. -it's just that it's so cold out there, and the pollution, and i didn't want to expose my unborn child to the elements any longer than i needed to. you're pregnant. i know a little bit about that myself. then you know exactly what i'm talking about. society doesn't go easy on pregnant ladies, does it? -so when are you due? i'm not pregnant. that's roz doyle. do you want to step over here, please? hello, niles. -hello, frasier. may i borrow your pen? certainly. how do you do? i appreciate all your hard work and i am sorry to have to break off the investigation in the middle. -people change their minds all the time. i'm sure they do. there you are. thank you. goodbye. -there, now don't you feel better? i suppose so. you have to admit i was right on this one. you had no justification for giving in to your baser instincts and prying into sherry's past. i almost forgot. -i wrote up a little report on what i found out so far. that's one interesting lady. i should've told him to drop it in the trash. we're concerned with dad's happiness. sometimes you are like a beacon, piercing the fog of my baser instincts. -miss, would you drop that in the... give me that. you've proven your point. i hate myself for what i'm doing. we're doing it for dad's own good. -so far, so good. graduated from high school. almost paid off her subaru. did you know she'd been married? yes, she mentioned that. -to johnny dempsey. there were two others: ned foley, marc wallace. that's a bit troubling. three previous marriages? -vincent mayhew. milton mandell. walt... just give me the total. six. -that we know of. you had to go and fire that detective before he finished his report. six husbands. she's obviously incapable of remaining in a relationship. doesn't bode well for the marriage. -on the upside, it does bode well for dad getting a "yes" when he proposes. he has a right to know about this. we told him we weren't involved in the investigation. maybe we can impart the information without explaining how we came by it. drop it in the conversation. -and how would that go? "dad, going to the sherry ex-husband convention this year?" besides, dad may know already. i think we need to find that out. what if dad marries her and in a year he's tossed aside like danny mitchell? -who's that? page five. engaged, but never married. hey, boys. hey, dad. -what do you think about this jacket? something doesn't quite feel right. i think it's nice. really? dad, i was talking with a lady today. -i happened to mention that i had been married twice before. a look clouded over her face as if i had confessed to some unspeakable sin. and people who've been married more than that. quite a taboo they face. i don't know. -it's so... i think it all harkens back to the puritanical streak that still runs through this country. what do you think? there's a yakety-yak streak that runs through this family. maybe it's the shirt. -you like this shirt? yes, it's nice. might make a good topic to discuss on my show. the hurdles that are faced by people with multiple marriages. hard to round up enough people who've been married a lot of times. -do you know anyone? no, i don't. mrs kranz upstairs... how about you, dad? sure, i know some people. -really, you do? i think. you think? maybe i do, maybe i don't. i hate this shirt. -i've got to change this shirt. that was fruitless. i'll tell you one thing i'm sure of. yes? oh, i'm allowed to talk now, am i? -i've never seen your father so nervous. he's meeting sherry and i bet he'll pop the question. we have to tell him. but we don't know what he knows. if she'd told him she'd been married six times, -he would remember. who, sherry? maybe this shirt isn't so bad with this new jacket. what do you think of this jacket? it's nice. -sherry's been married six times? who told you that? they did. what's this all about? i'd love to see the first shirt with the second jacket. -you got this from the investigator. you did hire him. i guess there's no use in denying it. yes, we did hire him. although the word "we" is not entirely accurate. -frasier, i am shocked that... shut up, niles. dad, we were just concerned about you. we know about the engagement ring. who went through my drawers? -pointing fingers won't help. what's the matter with you? she did it. it's nice to know there isn't a single person in this house i can trust. sherry told me about her marriages. -i didn't tell you because it's none of your damn business, just like it's none of your business who i marry or who i don't marry. i don't know why i'm even wasting my time talking to you. see what i get for confiding in you two blabbermouths. next time i find something in your father's underwear drawer, i'm just going to sit on it. -this evening is an entire disaster. i'm already late for dinner with maris. i don't know how this could've happened. who'd have guessed that something so innocent as spying on a man's girlfriend and rifling his underwear drawer could turn so ugly? there is one consolation. -we told dad the truth and could bear his anger. that's the nice thing about our relationship. we're all adults. we're not afraid of confrontation. stop stalling, niles. -dad must be in the elevator by now. look what i found in your father's jacket. i do not want to know. he forgot the ring. this will be embarrassing for him. -i suppose i could take it down to him. no, daphne, i should do that. it'll give me an excellent opportunity to show him how happy i am that he's marrying sherry. that would be nice. -i can't figure out why he would propose in mcginty's. it's so shabby. well, i guess maybe he was just trying to match the ring. so i told her that you and i would take a trip up there this spring. well, you like my sister, right? -yeah, sure. you can't hold one embarrassing moment against her. she didn't know you were in there. no, i don't. no, i like your sister. -well, then what is wrong with you? you're being so quiet. i got something on my mind. well, what is it? i've been thinking a lot about us, and... -where do you see us going? i don't know. i mean, i'm having fun the way things are. you have your life, i have mine. no pressure. -that's what i thought you'd say. is there something wrong with having fun? no. we've been just having fun for a long time now. let me ask you something. -where do you see us in a year? five years? i don't know. i try not to look too far ahead. that's the difference between us. -because i can't stop thinking that far ahead. i've come to realise, sherry, that i want to get married again. and, you know, that's not anything that you're interested in. well, can you blame me? i mean, marty, you know my track record. -i've been down that road a lot of times. i've learned the hard way. i'm not looking for forever. well... i am. -so you're breaking up with me? we're just looking for different things, sherry. i'm sorry. it's hot in here. yeah. -dad, fancy seeing you here. can i speak with you for a second? will you get out of here? i've got something you might want before you tell sherry... he's already told me. -he has? well, that is just wonderful. and may i say, it's about time. i couldn't be happier for you. that's nice to know. -dad, i'd like you to know that everybody is 100% behind this decision. i'm so glad that you're so happy your father is breaking up with me. breaking up? i had no idea. and you get paid to help people through their difficult moments in life? -it isn't easy saying goodbye, is it? no. it doesn't get any easier either. i should know. listen, marty, this is usually the time people say, "well, let's be friends". -and then there's a phone call or two, but they never see each other again. well, i just want you to know that i am around for you if you ever get lonely or you just need to talk. thanks. and when you call, if a man answers, hang up. hi, dad. -obviously i came down here to bring you this. obviously i made another colossal blunder in a week full of them. i'm really sorry, dad. i guess you don't really feel like talking, huh? you know, frasier, sometimes i just feel like sitting and watching a game. -fine. i can do that. yeah. sure. well, so the sonics and... -bulls. that jordan, he's really something, huh? yeah. the way he scores those points and gets the ball back when the other team misses. that's incredible. -he made the same impossible shot twice in a row. it's the instant replay. you know, i was carrying this thing around for a month. really? yeah. -but at the end of every night, i just couldn't pop the question. and then i realised it was because i knew what the answer would be. she didn't want to get married again. i'm sorry, dad. it's all right. -maybe it wouldn't have worked out between us anyway. your mom's a hard act to follow. i never went through anything like this with her. we knew we were meant to be together. and that was that. -it's hard to find that out there. i've been trying for a while. you'll get there. hope we both do. you know, dad, in time... -that was quite a shot. yeah, payton's been pretty hot lately. what's the score? sonics are down by five. got a chance if they can hold jordan. -can i get a beer here, please? yeah, make that two. i just want to hear the guitar solo one more time. not again. use the headphones. -good. now, wrap the cord around your neck. would you guys respect me if i worked in the town dump? the town dump? no. -now, the state dump... why are you looking for a job? everything costs money. gas, clothes... fun. dates. -dates cost money. no, kelso, that is prostitution. dating is prostitution, man. only you don't always get what you pay for. said the man who's never had a girlfriend. -what, you guys don't remember esther, the biker chick? whatever happened to her? she's dating my uncle. i'm going home for dinner. by the way, mom and dad are going to the playboy club... at lake geneva this weekend. -do you guys want souvenirs? ash trays. a woman. your parents are going to be out of town? really? -yeah. i mean, i'll be babysitting my sister tina all weekend. just me. alone. watching tv. -i might order a pizza. i got an idea! we'll have a party at donna's. a toga party! michael! -maybe donna doesn't want to throw a party. maybe she wants to be alone. yeah, just me, alone. if someone happens to stop by, that'd be pretty cool. so we're on. -i'll bring the beer! donna, i have never been to an american party. may i come? yeah, i don't care. so, eric, are you gonna be there? -what? yeah. sounds fun. cool. catch you guys later. -party at donna's. you are both so stupid. why? this is a first. i actually agree with jackie. -what? you're saying that i'm stupid? donna just put on the full court press, man, and you dropped the ball. what are you talking about? all she said was that she'd be alone saturday night with a pizza. -god, i'm so stupid. hanging out down the street the same old thing we did last week -not a thing to do but talk to you whoa, yeah hello, wisconsin! so, dad, the guys and i are thinking about getting jobs. -no. you have a job. it's your job to get good grades, go to college, graduate and leave me. kitty, when i was his age, i worked in a slaughterhouse. it was a good experience. -i learned how to use a hammer. the new fatso burger's hiring people. jackie's dad owns it. i guess i could get a job there. there is plenty of time later to get a job to grind the joy out of your life. -it's never too early. but let me tell you something. work is not about fun. it's about work. it's about seeing how much crap you can take from the boss-man. -and then taking some more. and remember... hey, look at me. only quitters quit. so, can i work? -we're sure as hell gonna find out now, aren't we? so, big party saturday night. whoopee. i can't believe forman missed all of those signals. what signals? -oh, no. poor me... all alone in my big house. just me and my nightie. if only there was some scrawny little neighbor boy here. he's not scrawny. -you know, why am i even talking to you? i'm all you got. oh, my god. so everybody knows? i'm afraid so. -i just wanted to spend some time with him alone... and now i can't. how does that make you feel? frustrated. it's frustrating as hell. i mean, i really put myself out there. -i see. and do you have trouble sleeping at night? sometimes, yeah, i do. do you think you'd sleep better... if you had a scrawny little neighbor boy up next to you? okay, let's hear it. -hello, my name is eric forman. no. not with a loose hand. firm. not like a fish. -again. hello, my name... no. step into it. stand up straight. -straight-up and hold the fish. don't be a smartmouth. right. no smartmouth. hello, my name is eric forman. -and? and... tell them about your junior achievement experience. they could give a rat's ass about that. okay, show them your honorable mention from the science fair. -again. right, rat's ass. don't slouch. wouldn't that fall under the "stand up straight" category? see? -that's a smartmouth. you're fired, mr. smartmouth. see? that's how that works. first of all, people who work at fatso burger are special. -now, i know you're looking at me and wondering... how do i get where ricky is? if you work hard, pay attention... and use the proper finger-release technique... on the slant cup dispenser, you could be me. now, let's get started. why do you want a career at fatso burger? i just think it will be a wonderful experience. -my girlfriend's dad owns it. i love the uniforms. to unionize the workers, man. tell me, what do you consider your best quality? i'm a real people person. -i don't answer stupid questions. i speak dutch. my eyes. and i guess my butt, too. name something about yourself that you consider to be a weakness. -i allow people to boss me around. i love chocolate. i'm brutally honest. pinhead. where do you see yourself in five years? -fatso burger. covered in gold chains. rock star. or, no, movie star. no, yeah, rock star. -prison. i'd like to thank you all very much for coming in. eric, welcome to the fatso burger family. yeah. daddy. -i'm so sad. why, kitten? because fatso burger hired eric instead of michael. i know, kitten. why would they do that, daddy? -let me tell you a little story about doofus and diligent. doofus is friendly but he doesn't follow directions well. now, diligent always does his job by the book. this is how the book says to do it.

oh, uh, welcome to fatso burger. -how... ah, screw it. what are you doing here? oh, i was bored. ahem. -really? you left your own party to come see me? it's not much of a party without you there. you're so queer. shut up! -um... eric, the whole reason i told you my parents were going away is so we could hang... together, you know, alone. -yeah. i know, it's just, uh... so, um... look, donna, i'm sorry. ok, i would love to come over, -but this is my job. and, uh, work isn't fun, you know? it's work. and only quitters quit. well, as long as you know what's important. -i'll, um, see you around. ow! well, what do you know, kelso, we're out of beer. you know what? forman's old man's got a fridge -in the garage, and i know he's got beer in it. aah! aah! it was his idea! remind me to kick your ass. -uh, hey, red. um, uh, is forman around?

yeah, i'm quitting. -i'm irresponsible, i'm a quitter, and i couldn't kill a cow with a hammer. so what do you say to that? well, everybody quits their first job, eric. it's no big deal. -what? that's it? i gotta say, dad, i'm a little disappointed here. i mean, it wasn't a man's job anyway. red. -well, come on, kitty, it was a hair net, nametag, nothing kind of a job. now, that's more like it. it's just as well. it was cutting into your chores anyway. -you did a half-assed job sweeping the driveway. i thought he did a wonderful job. didn't look wonderful to me. ok, then... sweep it yourself. -hey, hey, hey, forman, where's that big fatso smile? ricky, how'd you start working at fatso burger? oh, great story. i was gonna go to college, -but then they made me assistant manager, just threw the money at me, so i never got to go. but now i'm my own boss. well, that's not true, i answer to a lot of people. ok, i quit now. -oh, yeah, i certainly would. yeah. captioning made possible by carsey-werner productions and fox broadcasting company captioning performed by the national captioning institute, inc. public performance of captions prohibited without permission of national captioning institute -good dog, brute, my boy. who's the best dog in the world? you are. you, a mere country gentleman? no, sir pitt, i know you better. -i know your talent and your ambition. i showed lord steyne your pamphlet on malt, and now everyone is talking of it. really? i had no idea. he told me that in the opinion of the whole cabinet, it is the most masterly thing to have appeared on the subject. -but you know that, don't you? you know your true worth. you want to distinguish yourself in parliament, and it's only right that you should. how that woman comprehends me. she shows a grasp of malt that... -well, she showed my pamphlet to lord steyne, you know? steyne, who cut me at the levee last year. now he wishes to make my acquaintance. well, it seems i'm somebody after all. we shall have to spend more time in london, jane. -i think i shall buy a new court dress. pitt, my dear? yes, what? you don't think that mrs. crawley might have been flattering you for her own ends? no, i'm sure she spoke out of a genuine interest, and a desire to help my parliamentary career. -my dear, i only ask because before they came here, you said you were sure that they'd be dunning you for money before they'd been two nights at queen's crawley. did i really? well... i always believed that colonel and mrs. crawley would turn out to be much worthier than they're made out to be, and they've not been dunning you for money after all. no, no, absolutely not. -though i did discover they're in a pretty tight situation, jane. rebecca was very reluctant to speak about it, but i got it out of her in the end and, well, i've given rawdon a draft on my bankers for a hundred. my dear pitt, you are the most generous of men. we shall see each other very soon in town. yes. -yes, indeed. good-bye, little man. i shall miss you. such a fine little man. he's a nice little fellow, ain't he? -i hope pitt and i are as blessed as you and mrs. crawley. thank you, ma'am. i'm sure you will be. good little fellow, you can help drive the coach. one, two, three. -what's this? i thought we'd seen off the bailiffs long ago. mr. wenham. welcome back, mrs. crawley, colonel. lord steyne presents his compliments, and wonders whether he might call tomorrow for a drive around the park? -you can tell his lordship we shall be delighted, shan't we, rawdon? oh, be careful, georgy. oh, miss osborne. it's so pleasant to see you here. have you come to listen to the band? -yes, it reminds me so of william, you know, far away in india. how is your dear brother, miss dobbin? he is well, thank you. ah, here is amelia now. and is that little george? -he is so like him! such a handsome boy. oh, dear, this is very difficult. you see, my father... miss dobbin, you must excuse me. -i may not stay. was that not jane osborne? yes. she was called away before i could tell her- and you- my news of william. what news? -is he coming home? no. but we expect william to announce his engagement very soon to miss glorvina o'dowd- mrs. miss o'dowd's sister-in-law, you know. has he mentioned miss o'dowd to you? -no. no, he's not. nor yet to us, not directly, but a little bird tells us she's captured william's heart. " 'tis the last rose of summer, oh, blooming alone " " all her lovely companions are faded and gone " -" no flower of her kindred, no rosebud is mine " " to reflect back her blushes or give sight or sound. " ah, glorvina, me darling, that was delightful. if i can bring a little happiness into a heart far from home. yes, indeed. -is it cooler now? i have a fancy for a little turn about the terrace. well, maybe i'll just linger a little on the veranda at any rate. now why don't you go and join her, william? you can see how the poor girl yearns for you. -no, no, no. she only practices on me as she does on mrs. tozer's piano. she'll be glad to have you. she's a fine healthy girl and she's got good blood, and you're a quiet man like o'dowd here. you want someone to speak for you. -mrs. o'dowd... oh, go out to the girl. mrs. o'dowd... i will, for it would be discourteous not to, but i beg of you not to construe it... that that is... excuse me. -there. that's a job well done. you're barking up the wrong tree, peggy. there was only ever one girl for poor old will dobbin, and she's a thousand miles away. did you see him close? -yes. and he's such a handsome boy, papa, and so like... george. he's like his father. very like. -oh, very, very like, papa. i want to see him myself. left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right... left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right. halt! -attention! "to mrs. george osborne. "madam, i hereby offer to take upon myself the whole expense "of the care and education of my grandson, "and also to make him my heir. -"the boy will live entirely with me, "but will be occasionally permitted "to visit his mother who will receive an allowance of her own "such as will relieve any fears of poverty. "in return for this, -"mrs. george osborne will forfeit any rights in the upbringing of her son. " no. how dare he offer to buy my child from me? how dare he? we may be poor, but i hope -i'm not so desperate yet that i'd sell my own child. whatever are you talking about? i can't speak of it, mama. mother says i may have a new suit just like golding major's with straps to my trousers. did she, indeed? -and how is he to have a new suit, emmy, when we haven't even the money to pay the grocers? i don't understand, mama. george's suit will come out of the money i've saved from the little i've kept back from my pension, and with joseph's remittances. "joseph's remittances"! we are like to be thrown into the streets, and you talk of new suits for your boy! -here's all the money that i've saved. thank you, my love... but there is another way. and there is still my india shawl that major dobbin sent me. i shall sell that. that'll buy a suit for georgy and books and a new great coat for poor father. -so, you see, we're not so very desperate after all. and i shall write to jos today. what? what is it? shall you tell her, john? -father? ah, now, well... well, first you should know that i have been expecting to receive... well, still am expecting to receive, despite delays and disappointments, dividends, substantial dividends, from a business venture which i have been engaged upon and which... and which has failed like all the others. no... no, no, we don't know that yet- not for certain. -now, don't fret. it's not your fault. rogues... take advantage of him. they... they see he's not the man he used to be. but how should this affect jos's remittances? -surely he must see we have all the more need of him. jos hasn't stopped his payments, emmy. oh, he sends them faithfully the first of every month. then what? you see, my dear, in order for me to take advantage of this unique business opportunity, it was necessary for me to give certain guarantees as to the provision of working capital. -in short, to raise a... a certain... sum to be repaid in installments, which would, of course, be offset by the substantial dividends, which... which... which never came. but i still have the most sanguine expectation that they will come. so jos's monthly payments... go directly to the moneylender as soon as we receive them. -oh, papa. you'll despise your old father now. oh, papa, it isn't that! you did it for the best, i know. it's just... -oh, god, what am i to do? a memorable day. a very memorable day. a man's first day in the house is a day to remember. and your maiden speech- what was it about again? -malt. of course it was. my lord tells me it was received with... that it was very well received. oh, i... -i believe it was. and now i think i really must be going, to my very great regret. so soon? it is after midnight, and lady jane can never sleep sound of a night when i'm abroad, you know. good god. -if you must, you must. my warmest felicitations to the countess. mmm. a bientot. good night, rawdon. -dammed bore, that fellow is. now, now, you must be good. isn't it time... the colonel went to bed? naughty! i'm surprised at you. -rawdon... i must have a sheep dog. a what? a moral one, i mean, to keep the wolves off me. don't worry, my lord. -she won't bark at you. miss briggs, you truly think you might consider my proposition? mrs. crawley, though i'm quite comfortably situated, i believe i'm not one of those who's happiest living alone. as to salary... -oh, there's no need to speak of that. dear miss crawley... left me an annuity, you know. of...? 600 pounds a year. in the three-percent consols. -do you hear that, rawdon? well, miss briggs, we shall be able to help you, then. if you entrust your affairs to dear rawdon here, he could easily double your income. double it? i should say... treble it. -oh! i was wondering... yes, mr. raggles? ... whether you might be able to let me have a little something. tricky times, you know, tricky times, mr. raggles, but i'll see what can be done. -pretty soon, you know? " you wakened my passions, my senses have charmed... " " in vain against merit and cupid i stroll " " what's life without passion, sweet passion of love? " " elysium to him but a desert will prove " -" what's life without passion, sweet passion of love? " oh, george, help me to bear this. "to mr. john osborne. dear sir..." "as my father has met with fresh misfortunes which have entirely ruined him..." -good. "it is with the greatest sorrow, "though i know that you will do everything that is in your power to make him happy..." "that i feel i must accept your kind offer to take my son." hush! -excellent. now, you mustn't be frightened, for i'm sure your grandpapa osborne will be very kind. i won't be frightened. you said yourself i'll be better off there, and grandpapa is going to give me a gold watch. -good boy. can i go now, mama? amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant. that's latin. there's a good private school. -better than the paupers' school that woman sent you to, eh? i'll say. give me some more claret, aunt. take some water with it, georgy. and spoil a good wine? -pour it. the boy's got a good head on his shoulders. pour it out, i say. pour the wine, woman! you may leave us, madam. -and the rest of you, out! you, sir... i tell you this... you're the very spit and image of your father at your age. you are. and he was the finest son... -the finest son a man could ever wish for. he was a very brave soldier. none braver, my boy... and strong... and good. and he loved his father more... as much as... -but then we fell out, you see- your father and i- and he... well, we never could... and then... you see, he... you're the very spit and image of your father. and you will be everything that he would have been. now, do you understand what i'm telling you, boy? -yes, sir. well, let's drink a health to... to us. so... how did you find his majesty? i didn't realize you were so concerned about his health. -i'm sorry, father. what's going on? whose is this? it's his. you know... -lord steyne. i say. can't have lord steyne going around with a hole in his hat, what? i wouldn't care. come on, up to bed with you, me boy. -why is he always here? well, he's, uh... going to help us, so your mother says, you know- positions, advancements, that sort of thing. best leave all that to her. we're not clever enough for that one, eh. -i don't think mama loves me, pa. oh, yes, she does. she loves you well enough. she just has her own way of showing it, that's all. rawdon. -wonderful news. i'm to be presented at court. we're going with sir pitt and lady jane, and clever lord steyne has arranged it all. oh, i say. that's jolly good, isn't it? -what a fine big boy! but you're not dressed. aren't you coming to see your mama presented? no, aunt. children aren't allowed at court. -oh, i see. well, then, are we all ready? it's such beautiful brocade, rebecca. it's so like that piece i couldn't find, pitt. -i was sure it was in our london house somewhere. where did you get yours, rebecca? oh, i can hardly remember. i must have had it these hundred years. i don't know how she does it, lady jane. -she's a wonder, isn't she, what? and the deuce knows where she got those diamonds. not from me, i'll be bound. why, you silly man, where do you think i got them? i hired them! -ah. all except this little clasp... which a dear friend gave me long ago. and they're all going back tomorrow morning, not like your lovely stones, lady jane. isn't this fun? -and thank you, dear pitt, for making all this possible by welcoming me into the family. truly, i shall never forget your kindness. closer. i should like to know you better, mrs. crawley. some evening at lord steyne's, perhaps? -i should be honored, sir. my lady steyne... i want you please to send a card to colonel and mrs. crawley. i will not write to that person. send the children out of the room. -go! now sit at that desk and write the card for the party from friday fortnight. i will not be present at it. i shall go home. i wish you would. -you're here to provide children and present a pleasant face. you've done one thing, and by god, you shall do the other. if i choose to invite my young friend, mrs. crawley, to my house, you will have no objection. you may strike me if you like, sir. my sweet mary. -i just want to correct little faults in your character. oh, monsignor, how grateful i am to you. are you? but of course, i am. how grateful? -very, very grateful. how grateful is that? as grateful as you could possibly imagine. if you don't get rid of that abominable sheep dog of yours, i shall have her poisoned. -you shan't be able to, because i always feed my dog from my own plate. you imagine my patience is inexhaustible. no, no. i wish that... indeed, i do wish. -but i... i can't send her away. you owe her wages, i suppose. when we were reduced to our last guinea, she gave us everything. she'll never leave us until we are utterly ruined, which doesn't seem far off, or until i can pay her back to the last farthing, which seems utterly impossible. -how much is it? 1,250 guineas, sir. god's blood! i couldn't help it. believe me, it was my only chance. -i daren't tell rawdon. he'd kill me if he knew what i'd done. i've kept it a secret from everyone... except you. you forced it from me. oh, what shall i do? -what shall i do? you drive a very hard bargain, little woman. you may wait upon my bankers tomorrow morning. they'll furnish you the wherewithal to let your sheep dog loose. while you're at it, send that miserable son of yours to boarding school. -the fee is to me, of course. your husband, i suppose, can be trusted to stay out of my way? he always does what i tell him. unless he's threatening to kill you, huh? don't overplay your hand. -you've got yourself in very deep now. what a long face. you're not going to have your teeth pulled, you know? you're a very lucky boy to be going to such a good school. i don't want to go away, mama. -i want to stay here and be a day boy. thought you might have come with us, eh? see the boy settled and all. you do as you please. i have your interests to attend to, as you can't attend to them yourself. -big boys don't want their mamas fussing around them, do they? i must go, i'm expected in the mall. good-bye, rawdy. be a good boy. oh, come on, now, enough of that. -i muddled through well enough at eton, and so will you. eh? i should say. i'll miss him. lord steyne, ma'am. -oh, my lord, mrs. crawley is not at home and neither is the colonel. compose yourself, miss briggs. it's you i came too see. oh. let's sit here. -i imagine you're feeling very fond of our young friend becky just now. she's let you have a little something you were not expecting to get. sir? oh, yes, my lord. this black silk gown which she presented to me just the other day. -so kind and thoughtful of her. and nothing else? no. now, briggs, you know me. i'm an old friend of the household. -would you tell me how much of your money you've entrusted to colonel and mrs. crawley? £600, sir. he made me ask for that sum, and he told me he paid miss briggs. i didn't dare to doubt him. he is desperate. -i believe he has debts of honor. i've lost 1,250, and the sheep dog's still snug in the kennel. it's not my fault. i didn't want it so. i wish that she were gone so that... -my carriage stands over there. perhaps we should discuss this matter with a degree or so of privacy, ma'am? yes. briggs, i have some wonderful news for you. well, the thing is, now young rawdon's gone to school, and very happy there, -becky says she doesn't need a companion so much anymore. i think old steyne has been damn generous about the whole thing. he's paid off briggs and now he's looking after the boy's schooling. rawdon... hmm? -while lord steyne is a generous and influential nobleman, and his patronage is highly valued- i felt the good effects of it in my own modest efforts at advancement- he does... enjoy a, uh... certain reputation. mm-hmm. and i think it would be very bad if he were thought to be... -keeping your family, if... if you follow me. good god, man, what do you mean? oh, nothing about becky, i hope. oh, she jollies old steyne along, of course she does, but there's nothing she wouldn't own up to in sunday school. of course, but rawdon, one cannot be too careful about... appearances. -colonel and mrs. rawdon crawley. good evening, mrs. crawley. i hope you'll be staying on later for the entertainments. but of course. the colonel prefers an early night, i understand. -perhaps i could offer him my carriage. my old warrior likes to walk home when he doesn't have to think of me. capital scheme. that's that, then. you shall not be very drunk, or i shall be very angry. -becky, my dear. my husband says you play and sing very well, mrs. crawley. would you do me the kindness of singing for me? yes, of course. " when i am laid " -" am laid in earth " " may my wrongs " " create no trouble " " no trouble " " in my breast. " -" when i am laid " " am laid in earth " " may my wrongs " " create no trouble " " no trouble " -" in my breast. " " remember me... " " but, ah " " forget my fate " " remember me...

"dear becky, i was nabbed by moss the bailiff. " -there you are, sir, your old bed. "nathan's business. "it's only 130. "take my ticker "and anything else you can spare. -"we must have the sum tonight. it won't do to let it stand over. " not like nathan to squeeze a chap so hard. "make haste and come, becky. yours, rawdon. " -boy! "mon pauvre cher petit. "i couldn't sleep a wink "for thinking of what has become of my old monster. "of course, i went straight to nathan's. -"i fell at his odious knees, "but nothing would mollify the horrid man. "i positively ran home "for i would pawn my last trinket for you, dear. "but who should i find there but my lord waiting upon us, -"and he would not let me pawn a single thing, "but promised to lend me the money. "he will send tomorrow morning when i will bring it to mon pauvre prisonnier." damned nonsense! if you think... -boy! i came as quickly as i could. pitt's at a parliamentary dinner. you're a good woman, jane. i... -i know we're not alike, rawdon, but you're a good, true husband and a good father to little rawdy. how do you do, crawley? i'm innocent. rawdon... before god, i aminnocent. tell him i'm innocent! -innocent? why, every trinket, every stitch on your body was paid for by me. you sold your wife long ago, sir. don't try to frighten me. i've seen those games before. -come here. give me the keys. give me the keys, goddamn you! open it. a thousand pounds. -did he give that to you? i shared everything with you. i am innocent. hmm? i didn't realize i had an audience. -ah, you're orpheus, right? i think i've seen you play at kora's. and you're one of the cadets from the academy. ah, hercules nice to meet ya. and that's a nice-sounding oulos you got there. -you make it yourself?

uh, we just left a party that got a little too strange. another one of hercules' bizarre relatives? yeah, this one had horns. bacchus. -yeah. count yourselves lucky you escaped his cult. cult? the bacchae live for the whims of their master. they tried to suck us into their little cult. -legend has it that in moments of extreme excitement, the bacchae transform into wolves. oh, well, that's the last time i let you pick the party. hey don't worry about it, okay? next time i see that two-faced orpheus, he'll be playin' that lyre with his toes. hmm, and so much for your new girlfriend. -whoa, whoa! you okay? i feel woo... woozy. the mark of the bacchae. come sundown, she'll belong to bacchus. -we'll see about that. doing some more recruiting, orpheus? hercules, look. you gotta understand i had no choice. hey, save it. -all right, i only wanna know one thing from you. one thing! how do i stop lilith from becoming a bacchae? there's no way. she belongs to bacchus now. -uh. that's not what i wanted to hear. only bacchus knows the cure. all right, all right. some of the bacchae remember a story, a kind of riddle about washing your spirit clean. -nobody knows what it means. well, we're going back there and you're coming with us. the son of zeus will be perfect for my purpose. with him as my lieutenant, i can use you and the other bacchae to build an empire, an empire which you and i will share, eurydice, once i make hercules join us. -give it your best shot. orpheus! hercules. here's the deal. you and me, right here, right now! -if you win, i'll become a bacchae, but if i win, you cure lilith and we walk away. i have you already. why should i agree to this? uh, your innate sense of decency and fair play? come on, unless you're afraid. -very well, hercules, i could do with the exercise. he'd better hurry up. we're losing the sun. what am i, alone here? -get him! oh! oh! grab them. we can't let this go on. -this was supposed to be just you and hercules! one-on-one! life is full of disappointments. bite him now before the sun sets. what are you doing? -stop or be destroyed! eurydice, she's helping us? oh, no, you don't. agh! the spring. -wash your spirit clean. wash your spirit clean. it's poisonous to you, not to us. lilith! come on, we gotta go! -hurry, herc, she's changing. come on. are you okay? yeah. yeah, i think so. -uh, we should probably get going, yeah? yeah. hey, you comin'? huh? come on! -stop them! you think bacchus will go and let them live in peace? ah, i don't care, just as long as they don't come back here, the crazy yellow-eyed, wolf girls. man, that place was not as advertised. think about it, lolaus. -i mean, that could've been me trapped in that cult forever. living my life as that monster's slave. well, we should know better than to let hercules pick our parties, right? hmm? oh, yeah. -sorry. you okay? yeah. orpheus and eurydice will be fine. just great. -michael. michael. are you ready? second set. keep still. -don't move. you broke his leg. i'm sorry. he's still out of synch. out of synch! -he's out of control. that stunt he pulled in liberia could have gotten everybody killed. ...and now he's beating up our recruits! he's still not over nikita. so he's taking it out on us. -no, not us, himself. it's been over six months. he's got to let it go. what if he can't? he got over simone ... -he'll get over nikita. recently there has been a barrage of terrorist attacks perpetrated by the freedom league. the latest incident came in just last night. a tourist charter in the aegean exploded killing all 23 passengers and crew. we suspect these attacks are a response to our incineration of one of their locations six months ago. -we all remember that! do you have something to contribute, walter? do we have new intel of the location of their headquarters? that's why we're here. this is stuart sherrin. -the proprietor of a resort in thailand that caters to the vices of an elite and perverse clientele. prostitution, drugs, outlawed gambling ..., he provides it all. recreation isn't sherrin's only business. he launders money. sherrin acts as a firewall to isolate terrorists from their transactions. -buying weapons, contracting players. there are dozens of guys like sherrin. why do we think he's in business with the freedom league? i backed into a couple of his offshore accounts. within two days of each of the last six freedom league hits large deposits were made into them. -it's no coincidence. operation profiles are in your pda's. study them. transport for thailand leaves in two hours. all teams to report to ackerman. -i'm not leading the teams? no. you can't bring her back, michael. stop trying. i provide security for him, when he's in northern europe. -he does a lot of business in finland, doesn't he? he's never been to finland. he works out of stockholm. quite right. michael tagged sherrin's gofer. -he's heading in. here we go. it looks like he's got two bodies with him. small..., probably female. right inside the door there's four more..., larger..., probably bodyguards. -and sherrin's egress? only one way out. good. download the game plan to the onsite ops. it's done. -start sequencing. michael, five seconds. twenty meters down to the entrance. come with me, please. hey, sweetheart! -come here. is there a problem? yeah, i've got a problem. do you want to talk about it? yeah, you see, there's no butter on my toast. -i'm sorry. i'll get you another order. i don't like your attitude. really. yeah, really. -don't do this, please. you're hurting me. well, you see, i'm just trying to teach you some manners. no problem. you want me to toss this guy out? -leave him be. he'll be fine once he gets his butter. we only want you. nobody else needs to get hurt. i'll be back in a few minutes, matty. -as you can see, we have one of your operatives. no latex, no special effects. she's been very cooperative. that's enough, send it. we've been trying to track you down, ever since the conflagration at one of our outposts. -one of my men saw you escape. what do you want? you. you're very fortunate, actually. how much longer would you have lasted out there? -hmm? aliases, constantly looking over your shoulder. he just called. and? section one knows about tomorrow night. -what do you want to do? go as planned. the more operatives they send, the greater the loss. get her dressed, take her to her room. is there anything else you'd like to tell me, mr. sherrin? -sherrin has provided intel to his freedom league contact, location and access of the nuclear research lab in lyons, france. they plan to kidnap an engineer who has security clearances. when? tomorrow. do we intercept? -no. we'll wait for their exits, and will pursue with an offset. hopefully, they'll take their hostage back to their command. that's our target. birkoff. -it's ready. ackerman, get your transport ready. you leave in the morning. don't make a sound. i can make it easier for you. -the engineer's coming out. are there any sign of the kidnappers? they should be there now. they are hitting the target. they are approaching the gate. -get out. birkoff, we've been ambushed. send backup. get to exit point alpha. transport will be there in four minutes. -i'm sorry. there was not enough backup. michael. it was an inside job. someone got on to our frequency and knew we were coming. -how could that have happened? birkoff is working on it now. did you see anything on site? any anomalies? no. -something's not right. i thought i'd lost you. you never had me! everything ok? i'm fine. -so, where does section think you are? gathering intel. why didn't you let me know you were alive? i almost did ..., once. i don't know why i didn't... -i put everything out of my mind even the things i didn't want to forget. do you know that for three years all i did was dream about getting out of section? when i did, ...it wasn't what i expected. this isn't freedom... -this isn't freedom. what will you do now? keep moving. let me help you. michael, it's better if you don't know where i am. -better for both of us. come back to the section. let me bring you in. even if i wanted to, how could i? michael, they know you helped me to escape. -it can't be done. after the explosion, i'd started to believe that you hadn't made it out in time. i thought you were dead. when i saw you in lyons, it brought me back. i never realized i needed you so much. -so, what do we do now? i don't know. i've got to go back. so ..., ah ..., who you gonna say gave you the location for freedom league? -purcell, my contact in south africa. how much did it cost us? he was happy to trade the location for some local protection. good. ackerman, get up here. -we have an attack to prepare. there is one other thing, michael. it's about nikita. she's alive. alive? -as you can see, we have one of your operatives. no latex, no special effects. she's been very cooperative. they must have grabbed her just before the explosion. it explains quite a bit. -how they were able to elude us these past six months, how they knew about lyons. how could she have known about that? she was equipped with receivers when she was captured. they must have been able to use the encryption keys to tunnel into some of our communications. are we going to extract her? -ackerman will make that decision once he's on site. we'll try, michael. michael, did you hear about nikita? pull up the log file for delta comm. why? -just do it. they think she's been leaking intel, but that's hard to believe. they could have gotten some mileage out of those receivers, but not for long. ackerman had me change all the codes. here you go. -ackerman. when did he do that? as soon as operations put him in charge. that guy doesn't trust anybody, not even me. here you go. -look, he has all these transmissions locked. why? that's the way he wants it. i want you to do something for me. our primary objective, gentlemen, is to take out the freedom league server. -birkoff . the central control is here. the redundancy back up every 24 hours, lasts for five minutes. that's our window. if we can destroy the computer at that time, it will bring down their entire network. -is there a secondary objective? birkoff's working up a possible location on nikita based on the tape. on egress, team three, you're responsible. if you can extract her without sacrifice, fine. if not, incinerate that wing. -my team will do that. i need you on point. i can do both. fine. we will set charges here ..., here ..., and here. -what about this culvert? what about it? it's a potential retreat point. mark it off with two synchronized charges. make it four. -go ahead. we'll convene at van access in five minutes. i will be right out. michael! i though we were going out. -we are. i just had to check on something. why don't you give walter the inventory? i did. good. -it can wait. let's go. any transmission from ackerman? no, nothing. we should have heard by now. -first mark completed. go to b. michael, they're mobilizing east. keep monitoring all transmissions. i want to know the moment he calls. -you can reach me on channel three. birkoff, team's in position. everyone out, now. where's michael? michael, where are you? -we've got to get out of here. are you ready? enough. no. i'm not taking any chances. -take us out of here. what about michael? he's run out of time. ignite the charges. nikita! -go. what do you think? her body markings indicate interrogation and torture. over what period of time? that's what bothers me. -the bruises appear to be fresh. which means she may have been cooperating until only recently. she never cooperated with them. meaning what? they used her to divert our attention. -from what? the real source. birkoff put this together. ackerman? he was a mole for the freedom league. -they got to him last year in singapore. these are all the decoded transmissions since then. where is he now? for the next three days you'll be subjected to an intense debriefing. you will cooperate with us because you know how things are done here. -when we're done with you, you'll be canceled. any questions? how are you feeling? i'll be fine. would you excuse us, please? -you'll stay in observation for another day. then you'll be transferred down to level 3. three? reprogramming. you've been out for a long time. -we need to be sure you still meet section's standards. will i be doing that with you? no. you'll be assigned to someone else. are we going to be able to see each other on the outside? -i had a dream last night... you said certain things to me, you revealed your feelings. sometimes all we have is our dreams. closer. you went to a lot of trouble to bring me back in here. -i want to know why. be patient. all right, people. this is agent ford. we're almost there. -let's make it count. this is a surveillance op. we do not want this guy. i repeat, do not let him id. you. -he's just the driver. eagle one. gimme a heads-up. eagle one has target in sight. target moving east on third. -over. roger, eagle one. c.p. is following. packages are right there in the back. eagle one, you copy the black mustang? -roger, c. p. there's a second one closing in also. shit! he's made us. maintain pursuit. repeat, maintain pursuit. -get the plates on those mustangs! do not lose that driver. he's our only link to the buyers. fbi! freeze! -freeze! don't shoot! atf! agent mcclaren, atf. what the hell's atf doin' on an fbi operation? -and you are? allen ford. you know, i'm sensing a lot of hostility here, allen. there's no reason to get defensive. you've got yourself a dead driver and a cute little shipment of guns! -but you don't have the seller, and you don't have the buyer! all you've done is shown the man we're onto him. atf! what does that stand for, anyway? alcohol, tobacco and fuckups? -definitely a lot of hostility. change your nozzle! hey, tommy, you're takin' a little longer than you should with that! let's go! let's go! -come on. come on! come on! let's go! find out what that problem was'? -supposed to be 3/16ths! jeff, do i have to remind you what happened last week? come on, billy. get a mop and clean that up. crews! -yeah. i need this one today. manuel, main-end rod bearing! mr. cutler said tomorrow. i don't give a shit what mr. cutler said. -i got a bunch of loads going out. i need this one today. is that a problem? uh, no, sir... it's just i told my wife i'd pick my daughter up from school and... -well, that's real fatherly of you, but if you want to keep this job, you're gonna stay here till it's finished. hey, greg, can you give me a hand over here? if you need it, it'll be done. mr. cutler wanted to see me? he's expecting you, jack. -come in! yes, sir. you wanted to see me? sit down, crews. you've been with me, what, crews, three weeks now? -yes, sir. says here, you used to drive a truck. i think, uh, "used to drive" is the operative phrase. come on, jack. don't be so modest. -your parole officer says you could drive an ice truck through hell on the 4th of july. bet you miss that life, don't you'? being your own boss and nobody tellin' you what to do. sometimes, i guess. i bet you miss the money all the time. -how'd you like a chance to earn some extra cash? i got a load i need brought up from atlanta. off the books, you know what i mean? sir, if you know i can drive, you also know that i lost my license permanently when i went to prison. the way i see it, you only need a license if you get pulled over. -you've made that georgia run before, right'? you know how easy it is. it's 15 hours. nobody even has to know you're out of town. not even your parole officer. -nobody. i don't think so. i'll tell you what i'll do, jack. i know some people. do this for me, -i might be able to get your license back. job pays 10 grand. i can't do it. why don't you sleep on it, jack? seein' how much you like your job, -i'd hate to see you make the wrong decision. why don't you check with me tomorrow? federal bureau of investigation. dna is a match. one moment, i'll check. -today! today. excuse me, holly, is this the file? yes. that's it. -yeah. from now on you'll be working with atf on this. with all due respect, i know we've had our setbacks, but the atf directly interfered with our operation. what happened was their fault. i'm hearing your defensive voice again. -i am not being defensive! you say that whenever you're getting defensive, allen. you want me to be defensive? all right. you might see yourself as all over the 6:00 news on this thing, but the reality is, you're putting a serious operation at risk. -now, i'm hearing some very real masculinity issues. what the hell's the matter with you? look, we've got a lead on another shipment. we don't need this interference. allen, this is hardly my call, okay? -coordinate your efforts with agent moclaren, and you'll both report to me. that's the way it's gonna be! i agree with you. very little i can do. tracy, dinner! -hi. what are we having? only the absolute best, homemade. did you wash your hands? yep. -how's practice? good! yeah? yeah. hey, dad, can you help me with my foul shots tomorrow? -we have a game on friday. yeah. you bet. i'm not missin' this one. you truly are gorgeous. -you know that? do you remember... hmm? ...that night at grover's point? mmm-hmm. -the thunder and the lightning... and the candles. be right back. "foreclosure." i wanted to tell you, but i thought you should have some breathing room first. -$9,000? after they cut my hours, i just couldn't make ends meet. oh, my god! melanie, why didn't you say something? i could've... -you could've what, jack? you were inside. look, we'll rent a place back in newark till we can get back on our feet. we'll make it work. no. -no. we moved out of newark so tracy could have a yard and go to a school without metal detectors in the halls. we are not going back! i worked my ass off for this. i'm not gonna let us lose this house. -jack, even with what we both make, we are too far behind. i was offered a job today, driving. one load. atlanta to here. cash. -melanie, i'll make enough money to get us out of this. the last time you said one more load then we'd be okay, we weren't. i can't go through that again. tryin' to make a livin' that's the bottom line -it ain't easy tryin' to stretch a nickel into a dime appreciate it. y'all take care. sweatin' for a dollar workin' for the man half goes to the landlord and half to uncle sam -i can't get no consolation i don't get no faith again i can't get no satisfaction and my tractor... king me. king me. earl back yet? -no. i need them damn sunday throwaways. you gonna play, or you gonna do somethin' else? you the driver from new jersey? that's me. -you got a name? jack crews.

you didn't tell me i'd be hauling illegal artillery. -well, the truth is, jack, if you wanted to know what was in the back of that truck, you would've asked. the reason i hired you, crews, is 'cause i knew you could get the job done. but if you can't handle red, you tell me now. i want those guns tonight! now, you just go back and get in that truck and do the job -i'm paying you to do, because i don't think your parole officer is gonna be nearly as understanding as i am. do you understand what i'm sayin', jack?

i want the man who puts them on the streets. -we don't take him out, he'll have $3 million in automatic weapons comin' up from georgia this time next week. i mean, that might keep you in a job, but it's not the solution. guy driving is jack philip crews. did two years in bayside. that sounds like just the kind of man you want hauling a load of artillery. -no priors. he was released three weeks ago, early parole for good behavior. looks like he's just the driver. what'd he do his time for?

why? because i'm insisting on it. we had a row. -a big row. she threw my gnome at me. you're lucky it's plastic. i feel so betrayed. how could she not have told me? -adam, all couples have secrets from each other. we don't. not that they're married to someone else! do we? this changes everything. -no, it doesn't. rachel's no different. she has a husband! i'm living with a married woman! my mother'll have a fit. -well, don't tell her! yeah, it worked for rachel long enough. i said to her, "listen, you bollocks, you better get a divorce." what was her reaction? the gnome. -then she yelled something about how she won't have me dictating who she can and can't marry. anyway, i was gone... oh, yeah, that's another thing. can i stay? well, i see your economy drive hasn't reached your wine cellar. -but i have made one significant saving - i put a lock on the phone. he lets me have a key. right, well, to business. the lord giveth, and the inland revenue taketh away. but sometimes they giveth back - a tax rebate. -in fact, 1000 pounds. a skiing holiday. a chance to recoup some of our losses. i see. your harebrained scheme, our losses. -so what do you recommend, larry?

the next-door neighbour did. rach, please get a divorce. go on. eh? -for me. none of us like to be told what to do by our men, and usually it's grounds to do the opposite, but in this case, and i say this as your closest friend, who thought she knew everything about you, i am 100%, completely, totally and utterly in adam's camp on this one. me, too. look, i am not being stubborn, it's just that... -i am being stubborn, aren't i?

i saw it on casualty. right, pete. can i have a word? now! -well done. god, rachel, it's so good to see you. it was worth hitching up from london for. you hitched? yeah. -as soon as i got your message. it's funny, isn't it? you run these things over and over in your mind, and they never turn out that way in real life, but this one has. i always hoped we could be mates again. you know, we can meet up like this and... -anyway... you said you had something to talk to me about. yeah... let's get some more wine. ok. -what a catch. what a catch. get a bollocking, did you? nah... yeah. -look, adam... jenny and me. i... we...think it's about time you moved on. you can't be comfortable sleeping on a couch. -don't worry about me. i can sleep anywhere. er...no, you can't. not here. we've been having a difficult time with the baby. -you'd be more than welcome back when he's older... 16 or so. jenny wants me to leave?

who cares? the only figure i'm interested in is yours. -come in! forgive to interrupt. can i use the telephone, please, because my mother... my sister called me and i don't think my mother very well, so is it possible to use the phone? yes, yes, all right! -you want to give me the key again? yes, ramona. what does she mean, again? you haven't mentioned the divorce? i didn't want to rush it. -you've been separated seven years! it's hardly indecent haste! i will tell him in my own time. when? i dunno! -well, can you give me a clue? this side of your golden wedding? adam, look... he has had a really rough time recently. he's been dropped by his record company. -and... he's got nowhere else to stay, and...and it's only going to be for a couple of days, so you'd just better try and be nice to him. are you insane? fine. you just get out. -me? yes. you said you wanted to move out till we got a divorce. well, then, fine. i'll ring you at pete and jenny's. -sleep tight, then, mate. so where have you been sleeping? in the lounge, on beanbags. good job you can sleep anywhere. almost anywhere. -has rachel had a word with him yet? no, and of course i can't say anything, though i've tried dropping hints. our d-i-v-o-r-c-e becomes final today he's been with us three days. -how can she not have mentioned it?

sorry... i forgot you're trying for a second, aren't you? -well, we were. right. kris. adam. you really don't like him, do you? -you really don't like me, do you? i'm ready. you really don't like him, do you? what bugs me most is that he's so...perfect. first of all, he's fit. -do you want a hand with that? i can manage. second, he's... the galloping...frigging gourmet. it should be ready in about 20. excellent. -and third, just to make me feel like a total plank... he's become didsbury's answer to john bloody denver. all in all... he's everything i'm not. including married to rachel. excuse me, do you have a calculator, please? jen, say something to me. -not now. look, i'm sorry for accusing you of giving the baby nappy rash. just as i'm sure you didn't mean to imply i love the baby any less than you do. jen, what's happened to us? i thought babies brought couples together, not drove them apart. -pete, it's so hard being a mum. i know it is, but you're good at it. no, i'm not. i'm a failure. no, i'm a failure, as a husband and a father. -oh, god. no, wait. just let him cry for a little bit. look, we're talking, aren't we? that's progress, isn't it? -we can't be the first parents to find it difficult. everyone else seemed to cope, even my parents. oh, god, pete. i love you so much. and i love our baby. -i just wish sometimes that he would just stop... successful parenting. i might just check on him. yeah. kris thinks he might stay in manchester. -there's more chance of him breaking into the music scene here. rachel, you got in touch with kris to get a divorce. now he's practically your lodger! we wouldn't charge him rent. look, it's just temporary. -and besides, he's... he's really helpful around the house. there you go. adam'll be pleased. and was he? ooh. -hang on. he didn't seem to be. do you think you're being fair to him? to adam? i've let him move back into the bedroom. -great. he...gets on with kris. they're almost friends. they play chess together. yes! -yes! yes! do you remember that old chestnut - two's company? mrs marsden... thanks. -it's not like that. really? left foot blue! kris is the winner! again? -hey, come on. another game. i'll get us some more drinks. do you want another go? yeah. -spin. he seems like a top bloke. he's a wanker. he's certainly subtle. yeah. -exactly. did you notice it was him suggested twister? adam, nobody else wanted to play chess. right hand green. oh, no way! -no, you've got to. hey! what are you at? look, you're pressing down on me. you're pressing up. -rach, your arse touched. you're out. that is not true! yeah, both cheeks, didn't they, pete? come on. -pack it in. oh, the undisputed champion. yeah, i'll take you up. are you in, pete? no. -oh, no. just the two of us. one on one. mano e mano. rach, i think you should come back in. -why? is someone hurt? no, not yet. hey, left foot green, adam. i think it's time we were going. -yeah. not the only ones. you put it in a building society? what's wrong with that? at least there's no risk. -no interest. so, which esteemed investment house did you entrust with our wealth? i don't know. it had a blue carpet. that must have swung it for you. -i did shop around. well, that we know you're good at. did you go to the family planning clinic? no. still haven't made up my mind. -we cannot afford another child right now. i thought we'd agreed. we agreed to think about it. yeah. let's think about it tomorrow. -but, darling, i thought you didn't want any costly mistakes. oh, don't worry. before i leave a deposit, i can make a timely withdrawal. but, darling, you pinpointed the problem yourself... no interest. -kris. can i have a word, while adam's out? you know how much i've enjoyed having you here. yeah, i know you know. but... we can't go on like this. -or at all. look, the thing is, i'm really glad we're friends and... ..i loved you once, but... i love adam now. my future's with him. and i don't want to jeopardise that. -i never told you the real reason i got in touch with you again. oh, this isn't easy. you want a divorce. it's all right. no problem. -that was easy. oh, the other thing is, you've got to move out. i know you've got nowhere else to go and that you're broke... i want to help you with that. oh, rach... -i couldn't. it's not a loan. i'm paying you off. take it and go back to london. don't say you haven't got a price. -it's not that. it's just that rachel... look, i don't want to hear it. ok, then. bumstead only has one m. -oh, sorry. one other thing. rach isn't to know about this, not ever. you want this to be just our little secret? please. -i wish you wouldn't do this. i want to. ok, then. thanks. you're welcome. -wasn't that game on earlier? yeah. these are the highlights. well, bye, then, mate. bye. -i'll see you. missing you already. hello? no, i will not accept the charges! david! -ramona's mother's ill. she could be dying. ok. put them through. ramona! -telephone! surprise, surprise. ramona! telephone! if you're looking for your investments, they're at the bottom of a very long list. -by the way, is your interest paid monthly, cos i need to buy a stamp. don't worry, second class will do. i don't think her mother could have died. no. ramona! -ramona! that was fun. i didn't handle it very well, did i? no. would sorry help at all? -it might. try it. adam, i'm sorry. come here. shall we move in together? -our house. in the middle of our street. i bet you thought we'd never get rid of him. oh, i thought he might be going today. oh, you did, did you? -he had 500 bloody good reasons for going. so he told you? what? about our arrangement. what arrangement? -500 pounds. that was our arrangement. who? what? i gave kris 500 pounds to go away. -so did i. excellent. there goes one thousand pounds. there goes our sofa. this must have set you back a bit. -i thought after the kris business you were broke. we are. yeah, but some really good friends lent us the money. shut up. i must tell you a story about karen and money - how to make a million pound in as many years. -well, karen decided to take a greater interest in our finances - doesn't matter why. oh, this is jolly comfortable. anyway... oh, shut up, david. # there once was a girl called rachel bradley -# whose boyfriend loved her truly, deeply...madly # she was married to kris with a k # but now that bollocks with a b has gone away # so rachel's now a divorcee # living with adam in dids-bury -# and kris with a k, he's now her ex # so rachel with an r, can we have some... sex. okay, what if there are three guards working today? though they normally only have two men. -conditions will be unfavourable for us, right? so if we dare to do it anyway... would our act be considered as brave? quite honestly, i'm not sure. sometimes you've just got to attack head-on. but we may lose our heads in doing it. -you know why most crimes are so easily solved? in my opinion it's not because... concealing the evidence is so difficult. it's always the criminal who blows it. will and reason are paralyzed at the scene. and for a while afterwards, too. -that's why they always do something weird, or leave evidence. even though i graduated from a top university, i'm still a fraud. i shouldn't be saying this, right? but, you know... today's weather will probably decide our fate. this humidity brings on irritation. -our will and reason have begun to be paralyzed. plus it's a full moon. don't forget the moon's influence on man. should we go ahead with our reckless action today? or, like any reasonable person, do we change the day? -hey, if you want to change the plan, i'll go along. in a sense, that's a kind of bravery. yes, there's one more thing. look, don't think that i'm pressuring you to do this. don't worry. -it's okay to go back. starring shinichi tsutsumi hiroshi shimizu / akira yamamoto lkko suzuki kimika yoshimo how's business now your boss is gone?

we just got a request from a major company. -their overseas business department. a planned new venture is in an area controlled by the mafia. they've asked for our help. that's the story. get the fuck outta here. -pissing around in my territory, you assholes. overseas? yeah, call it an investment. and it'll pay very well if we succeed. it's good for our family, and yours. -are you with us? a good place for a yakuza to die. matsuda, get me some sake. tachibana, how about you spell out some more details. sorry, no sake, only beer. -that's fine. where's your short-ass, spunky little pal? kaneda? probably playing pachinko someplace. freeze. -i scared you bastards. what's the fucking delay? aren't you finished? you ugly bastard. asshole. -what are you doing? fun, ain't it? give us a hand. how much is it? 1 200 yen. -thank you. come again. hey, three noodles over here. and now for the headlines. at around three pm today, three maskes men robbed... the tahata-branch of the toko bank... and escaped with a total of 80 million yen. -two of the robbers were killed during the getaway. the third suspect is still at large. the 1 6 people in the bank at the time were uninjured. all three were wearing ski masks. the police have not yet identified them. -the escapee is 1 80 cm tall and slim of build. hey, it wasn't me. then explain the mask. i found it on the street. the getaway car was stolen and police are searching. -he is believed to be armed. police advise caution in approaching... i didn't fucking do it. an all points bulletin has been issued. continuing: -a young woman was stabbed today... in a back street of yahata. you got anything smaller? the victim is reported as miki yoshida, 25. a hiardresser at a nearby salon. the weapon appears to have been a knife. -miss yoshida is currently in critical condition... she won't die. i only bumped into her. what's the plan? what plan? -from tomorrow. just continue as usual. no one knows because no one saw us. unless tachibana is still alive. you did check, right? -what? didn't anybody make sure? no problem. of course he can't be alive. we buried him. -definitely. we must fight. we must resist. takeshita district citizen's association we won't stand for this. -don't let them cheat us like before. where's our leader? he's not here yet. where on earth is he? from eight, right? -look. thank you all for coming today. mr kagawa was supposed to attend this meeting... but he had urgent business in osaka. so i'm afraid he can't be here tonight. we ask for your understanding in this matter. -being fully aware that we must address all your concerns... our vice-director is here tonight... to listen and to answer all your questions and submissions. well, then. are there any questions? for the last few months... a northerly wind has brought foul smells to the area. we investigated this and discovered that it began... when your factory's discharges started to discolor the canal water. -then we asked you to analyze the wastewater from your plant. but you have told us nothing? we demand a full account and some serious answers today. well, regarding your questions... it's a demand, asshole. -no, i mean... i'm pleased to report that your concerns... have been addressed with our new waste treatment facilities. yes, but we... we want the test results, that's all. in order to assure you there's nothing to worry about... -let us explain how the new system works. our wastewater is discharged from two different sources. one covers typical building discharges. the other is from our factory. the waste can be classified as organic and inorganic compounds. -waste from taps, car-washing, etc., is organic. water from boilers, cooling towers, etc., is inorganic. the first has high levels of ss and bod. it is biologically degraded using sand and activated charcoal. as for pre-discharge sterilization, our use of activated charcoal... as a medium to sanitize and purify... -what the hell are you blabbing about? we're not here to listen to you, asshole. you're trying to dazzle us with science. enough of your cover-up. we just want the test results. -these smells only occur during notherly winds, right? which direction does it go when a southerly wind blows? the north. anybody else report that particular observation? no, sir. -yes, but still... why does no one else experience this? very strange. no one will back you up? what are you insinuating? -don't try to twist it. the drain water turns white. clean up your filth. stop discharging poisons. release the report. -he's here. you're late. enthusiasm, good. give 'em hell. you've heard it all before. -you pollute the air. pollute the air? exactly. then why does it affect just that one area? you should do your homework. -your little scam is beginning to fray at the edges. you little shit. this is no extortion. we just don't want to get poisoned by your filth, that's all. she's right. -so you're saying none of you dirty the water? so none of that garbage in the river pollutes it? old bicycles, household garbage, even tv's and refridgerators. be honest, that's all your garbage, right? the wastewater from your houses goes down plastic pipes... and straight into the river, untreated. -but you don't pollute, do you? you come here and sling insults at us after we went... through the trouble and expense of an exhaustive suite of tests. before you start accusing us... how about outting your own houses in order? we are leaders in addressing environmental concerns. what have you done? -well? what have you ever done? well? you. come on. -tell me. your aoshima group is a manufacturer of paper pulp. so what? aren't you destroying the tropical rain forests? plus you're involved in golf clubs and ski resorts, aren't you? -isn't that the worst kind of environmental destruction? yes, that's right. freon gas and the ozone hole. carbon dioxide and the greenhouse effect. over-industrialization creates acid rain. -contamination from nuclear accidents. massive desertification. mass starvation of millions. morals thrown out in pursuit of money. they're destroying our beautiful world. -we japanese worked hard to become an economical power. how did that end up? they're restructuring now, so two million will lose their jobs. families and social structures abandoned. our post-war japanese value systems have collapsed. -compulsory retirement is being pushed. schoolgirls prostitute themselves. mothers are addicted to pachinko. juvenile delinquency and drugs are rampant. all we can do is raise our voices in protest. -our voices are all we have. yes, we have the right to protest. all we can do is shout out our objections. we are alive. we exist. -we're alive, we're outraged, we exist, we shout. the very civilization we created, will destroy us. to protect our beautiful earth and return nature's bounty... we must shout at the top of our voices. well done. you were excellent. -thank you. your words moved me. you opened my eyes. the company's trying to throw me out. vice-director. -what's the point of such titles? i get stuck with all the tough jobs. it's a form of harassment. they want me to quit. thank you. -you're a fine man. i feel like singing. may we sit here? got a drink? you are great. -you know, i was really moved. i can't express myself, but you're so succinct. the cossack dance. he's having too much fun. he did well, too. -i never expected him to be so talkative. let me toast the prosperity of the citizen's group. please come forward. what a jerk. we just had a toast. -come on, up here. all of you. all right. no damn choice. take it easy. -i wanted to toast you, but i was shouted down... a bit too late, he said... miki yoshida dies of stab wound let us celebrate our continuing prosperity. banzai. -you should lock your door. it's dangerous. you fuckers barged in. ah, the good old days. with muscle and brains anything was possible. -it's tough for yakuza now. it sure is. golf? you've got an easy life. well, what do you want? -did our tachibana come here? no, he didn't. did he? something wrong? we had a meeting scheduled today. -he didn't show up. probably with some bitch. but he called the meeting. you get what i'm saying? alright, then. -he was never here. you hear anything, call us. how is business lately? same as always. all the families are in the same leaky boat. -bullshit. i hear you guys are expanding abroad. in that case we'll need your help. you won't get girls with those muddy shoes. you blabbering shithead. -let go. shut up. no doubt. they killed him. what's the problem? -are you scared? you fucking well are. so act like frightened rabbits. i'm getting out. you're just pulling me down. -i'm outta here. lily-livered pair of cowards. stupid motherfuckers. frightened little assholes. you know, i've been feeling really uneasy lately. -i don't know why... not uneasy... more like pessimistic. i feel like throwing everything away. since the don got busted... everything had begun to look so ridiculous. -there's a cooking school at the station. i was about to fill out the application form. they know. they know we killed tachibana. what are we going to do? -what the hell can we do? why did this happen to me? what did i do to deserve this? just a dead hairdresser, that's all. in the great scheme of things, she has no value at all. -just a hairdresser. a dime a dozen. she's probably strip off and bare all for money. so why can't i stop thinking about her? it wasn't my fault. -no way. in the old days they killed people just like flies. they even boasted about it. does man's value change over time? has the price gone up? -why is man so special? what about cattle, and insects? what's so different? they have lives too. we feed off eachother. -bird eats insects, man eats birds. it's just a cycle of murder. to live you must kill. that's how the world works. i'll probably get used to killing. -man is despicable. he can adjust to anything. but i'll be alright. i'll be fine. i'll start a business with the money. -i'll help societal outcasts to find good jobs and better lives. i can save hundreds of families from poverty and despair. thousands will be saved from corruption. compared to that, one measly hairdresser's life is nothing. i didn't mean to kill her. -it was an accident. she ran into the knife and stabbed herself. now i get it. she wanted to die. it was suicide, i'm positive. -that's it. now i understand. come to think of it, i'm the victim. i've been obsessed with guilt since then. a generous nature and an open heart invite suffering and pain. -yeah, now i get it. she killed herself. look at this bum. what's he smiling about? he'll probably beg for money. -give him some change. he saw me. he must have seen me. what does he want? why now? -the money? the motherfucker wants the loot. what? it's not the money? i don't get it. -what's happening? what is he thinking? what does he want? i get it. he's going to go to the police. -what'll i do? another murder makes no difference. he's just a bum. he doesn't deserve to live. trash like him spoils the town. -i'll kill him. kill him. kill the bastard. kill him. kill him. -there he is. that's the bastard. i'll kill him. kill him. kill him. -it's not my fault. the environment i was raised in is the cause. who created that environment? you, human beings. you. -i'm a murderer, but you all live by killing too. you kill for desire and enjoyment. you're all living in an illusion, drowning in illusion. are you a killer? i am... -miyata is the name. are you... a killer? do you like killing people? a famous philosopher once said: at the moment a man kills another man... he enters into a completely different world. -you'd think it was the same world, right? nut actually they exist in completely different worlds... from people like you, who've never killed. the world through the eyes of a killer looks completely different... to someone who's never killed. have you ever killed anyone? you see, i've got no patience. -i'm stuck in the killer's world. the killer's world? i have to kill to live. you see, a killer can only ever live in that world. you want to escape? -do you want to escape the world of killing? there's only one way to do it. interested? you've just got to... kill yourself. are you a killer? -my name is miyata. are you a killer? you see, i've got no patience. no choice but to live by killing. what now, asshole? -what the hell did you do this for? it's not my problem. you killed them. hey, relax... you couldn't help it, i know. -that's right, isn't it? i'm hungry. hey, come on, we only had a bowl of noodles today. don't worry, no one saw us. i'd love a drink right now. -i know a bar nearby. let's go. okay? are you okay? i'll take you to the nearest station. funerary urn -are you alright? what's the nearest station? yamashita, isn't it? will yamashita station do? stop the car. -stop the car. how's business? rained out. really? well, that's fucking bad luck. -you really come here? yeah, i hang around this area. how's business? slow as usual. this place needs some girls. -what'll we do now? not that again. think, man. shut the fuck up. why always me? -ask him. he did it, not me. you let him join the family. he didn't have to stab the motherfuckers right away like that. maybe they came about something else. -you insisted that they knew. shut the fuck up. we're drinking. enjoy yourself. i'm having fun. -i said i'm enjoying it. i joined the family because i envied the yakuza life. good clothes, big cars and lots of pussy. i envied men who staked their lives for their don. that was my dream. -i thought the life really suited me. but the reality was different. our don wanted to co-exist in peace with the other families. i just had to make sure the plebs paid the squeeze. it was an easy life. -but not now. those bastards want to kill us. they're looking for us. only the strong can win and survive. right now i enjoy being a yakuza... and the style of the yakuza. -you said it. no more hiding from them. yeah, fuck 'em. we're ready. we're yakuza. -by god we are. yes. are you a killer? i'm miyata. are you a killer? -are you a killer? like to try it? gotta go. where are you going? to get some cigarettes. -telephone, sir. yes? i see. miyata blew it. how the hell did i get involved in this shit? -what are we gonna do? what'll we do? say something. what's your plan? shut the fuck up. -you never change, do you. you make shit happen and then cry for our help. 'what'll i do? help me.' we've got to escape abroad. -you prick. what about money? you started this with that goddamn mask. that's what started it. but you hit him in the fucking head. -don't blame me. you bastard. you want a fight. do you? fuck off. -no, you fuck off. he was in the noodle shop. what are you sniffing around us for? answer me. you will fucking well answer me. -you think you can just run off by yourself? let go. i found it. it's only enough for me. are you crazy? -let go of it. i've still got 80 million. 80 million yen. you can have it all. on one condition. -please... please kill me. get out. come on. get up. -where's the money? answer me. where's the fucking money? hey. is this it? -i've found it. what are you digging here? digging a hole, obviously. burying somebody? or digging something up? -which is it? none of your business. stay out of this. it ain't your business. don't fuck with us, asshole. -what do you want? what did you do with tachibana? i don't know. then what are you digging up? answer me. -money. hey. shut up and dig. are you guys fucking crazy? it's true. -we're digging up the money. do you think we're fucking stupid? i don't know how they got here. you killed him and buried him here. no. -we're digging up the money. look. see? check for yourself. who the fuck are you? -tachibana. you motherfuckers. no. no, don't... please don't... -please.

they'll take my thoughts away -a long time ago there was an island near italy which was dominated by the forces of darkness. the rocky coastline and many fortresses were a safe hideout of magicians, wizards, sorcerers and other creatures. behind these walls unbelievable cruelties took place. ships avoided this region and this island. one day a weapon was forged, which ought to spread the demonic seed under mankind. -but shortly after the demonic forces started to fight themselves, the island became a place of destruction. since this time people are telling scary stories about this island. the weapon of hell - the demons knife - is being missed since then. somewhere in the depths of darkness, evil is waiting for mankind. most of the times we can keep it away from us. -but evil will get a new chance. well, actually this day was a normal day. i was just on the way to my boat rental job and didn't expect at all what would happen during this day. it had to be destiny that i would meet the woman of my dreams. but it happened in a way i would not have expected. -the horror i found, was only the beginning of the end... may i help you? i guess i've sprained my ankle. i'll have a look. aaah, it hurts. -i think, it's all right. hallo, my name is mario. my name is ramona. thanks again for helping. i was a little scared at first. -i'm sorry. may i invite you for dinner this evening? sorry, i don't have time today. but how about tomorrow? sure, but i will make a trip with the boat, tomorrow. -why don't you come along? maybe later on. first i've got to go to the doctor. all right then. see you tomorrow. -hallo sweety, how are you? i'm fine, and you? not bad. let me tell you something. yesterday, when i sprained my ankle, i met such a lovely boy. -i looked into his eyes and... whow! don't lie to me. but that is the truth. hey, fuck you! come back! -such an idiot! are you hurt? that was a close shave. damned! and he doesn't even come back to apologize. -fucking asshole! this only happens here! ... okay? yeah, it's ok. -but i need to cool it. cold water would be best. such a fool. would you please come with me to the island tomorrow? i don't want to go alone. -of course. after all i want to take a look at this lovely boy. he really is a nice guy. perhaps he's got a friend? i don't know, i only had eyes for him. -i understand. i told him that i'd to go the doctor and afterwards we'll meet. and where do we meet? he said that we'll take a ride on the boat and after that we'll meet him on the beach of the small island. ok. -let's take the boat and have fun with him. see you tomorrow. bye now. keep your foot cool! sure! -there it was: small rocky island. i've been here so many times before, but today there was something weird going on. i didn't know why, but i had a bad feeling about the meeting place. nevertheless, i followed my plan. -hereby we take our next victim before the great invasion of the demons. become one of us, to be damned forever! do you think he is already waiting for you? of course! he'll be very nervous and horny. -i hope so, not like the other guys you met before. don't remember me. that's ok. hi, nice to see you. hi, that's my friend camilla, she wouldn't let me go by myself. -hallo camilla, nice to meet you. you're looking great! hi mario, thanks for the compliment. take your clothes off and sit down. how do you like it here? -yeah, very nice. the sun is shining, warm water, nice place for swimming. it's very romantic here. yes. a place to relax. -it's too hot between such two beauties, i'll go diving. i'll be right back. ok, but don't leave us waiting here too long! do you like him? your description was really an understatement. -but this boy is mine. hands off. ok, i'll keep a low profile, honey. remember: first come, first serve. -are you nuts? that is my revenge for yesterday. but i can do better. camilla is watching us. i'm going back to her. -come on, tell me. don't be so curious! that's typical. where does that skull come from? i've seen some sort of ruins from the boat. -i'm going to take a look. but watch out! don't get eaten up by the island monsters! why not? there's an old box! -i'm going to get it. it is locked. nevermind. only stones? hey stop, there's something else. -it looks really strange. perhaps i should keep my hands off. shit, i've cut my finger. my head swims. hey, i'm not your kind of guy, baby? -what a dream. terrible. anybody out there? was this a heart? my god! -i've got to find camilla! help! i've to go to the ruins. camilla? where are you? -what was that noise? what was that monster? i can't believe it! it's wearing the t-shirt of mario. you bastard! -stay away from me! take that, you monster! excuse me. hello? can i help you? -i knew that my training would pay off some day. again, humankind has defeated us. we underestimated those lousy god-believers and thought we could achieve victory on the fly. but we will gather, for a much larger attack. for now, we will take our next victim, before the great invasion of the demons will take place. -come on, be our victim. become one of us and be damned forever! earth, 18,000 years before the present it's a world locked in cold at the height of the last great ice age. across tens of thousands of years unmelting snows have compacted into massive glaciers. -buried under ice sheets averaging a mile thick are lands where hundreds of millions live today. as earth's water is increasing locked up in ice sea levels plummet more than a hundred meters. exposed sea floor nearly joins australia to southeast asia japan becomes part of mainland asia. across north america, ice fields and glaciers envelop all of canada and northernmost united states. -as the ice age spreads, alaska emerges as a crossroads. off it's bering sea coastline the retreating ocean exposes a great land bridge a thousand miles wide connecting asia to america. across this corridor, a river of living creatures would flow. it was the genesis of a great wave of life that would inhabit the americas, and this was it's eden. crossing into ancient alaska migrating herds find new forage and sheltering valleys but they're followed from asia by fierce carnivore... saber-toothed cats, giant bears and the greatest of all predators. -they arrive in small bands from siberia pressing east in pursuit of game unaware they're discovering a continent. the hunters are sustained by bison, moose, woolly mammoth and the wild reindeer called caribou. where frozen tundra limits vegetation, meat is life. most of the year, it is kill or starve. the hunters prosper here across millennia but as the receding ice age opens the wall of glaciers to the south most move on with the herds into the virgin continents beyond. -their descendants will become apache and sioux, aztec and maya inca and amazonian. yet some remain in alaska. for them, this is a world of mysterious forces and spirits. to science, the aurora borealis is created by streams of charged particles from the sun colliding with the atmosphere. to some native americans, the northern lights were children not yet born at play in the heavens. -here at the far edges of existence the wildness of the ancient earth never vanished. even today, the solitude of the past is broken only occasionally by the sound of the present. in alaska, the last great ice age survives. vast regions appear as lifeless as a frozen planet. sheer walls a mile deep loom as monuments to the power of the glaciers which carved them. -most of its rugged terrain can be crossed only with wings. massive snowfalls compress glacial ice so dense in some places only a single color of the spectrum is reflected... an ethereal blue... chilling and strangely beautiful. where the frozen rivers end icebergs are born in a spectacle so mighty native tribes call it "while thunder" some blocks are the size of 30-story buildings. it would seem a place too hostile for living things but each year, after a winter that can last nine months -alaska erupts with life. hundreds of thousands of birds stream here from as far away as antarctica to breed in alaska's protected cliffs and coves and to feed on it's rich seas. for one brief season of abundance life flourishes. ice-falls turn to waterfalls. grasses emerge, fueled by up to 24 hours of sunlight a day. -animals hurry to store up nutrients before winter returns. without the plenty of the warm season life couldn't survive the long months of bitter cold. famished from half a year of hibernation even the lordly brown bear is content to graze in spring sharing the meadows with caribou too fleet to be caught. as bellies fill, play begins. there is other business conducted in the fields of fresh grass... the age-old rite of spring. -they will remain a couple for only a day or two sharing a rough affection. bear hugs will lead to the conception of new life to be born in the hibernation den in the dead of winter. a world of extremes alaska is swept by enormous tidal fluctuations. low tide can drain an entire bay like a bathtub. -taking advantage of the low tides brown bears roam the exposed tidal flats. to dig for clams. any protein is welcome in the effort to replenish a body that can weigh 1,400 pounds. perhaps noticing the success of mother and cub, an imitator arrives. but clamming is not as easy as it looks. -for a red fox, survival is, in part, knowing when to give up and just move on. as summer's warmth deepens alaska's three million lakes turn to gathering places. beavers prepare for the ravages of cold weather ahead by repairing their lodges. moose feast on tender aquatic plants hidden on lake bottoms. -wolf pups gorge on mother's milk to reach near-adult size before winter arrives. but the serenity of summer can be shattered by the approach of an intruder. the black bear has a fearsome reputation but it's the most playful of bear species and with the coast clear and the water cool even a bear may succumb to the impulse merely to have fun. life along the coast, too, is eased by the warm season. after a winter battered by north pacific storms sea lion colonies haul out to sun themselves like vacationers enjoying a day at the beach. -a game of king of the mountain ensues. in the world of sea lions, size matters... but patience succeeds. ungainly on shore, the sea lion moves in the sea with the ease of a circus performer... both acrobat and clown. like its meadows, alaska's seas bloom with fertility under the lengthening daylight. so rich are the waters humpback whales swim nearly 4,000 miles from hawaii to revel in alaska's season of abundance. -humpbacks fast for eight months in the relatively sparse waters of the tropics where they breed and give birth. for survival, they depend almost entirely upon the krill and small fish that concentrate here in summer. to capture the immense quantities of food they need some humpbacks have devised an extraordinary technique of cooperative feeding. diving in unison they surround a school of herring while one or more sings a ritual feeding song. simultaneously, a whale blows a circular net of bubbles around the fish. -then, as the trap is completed the entire group rockets upward through the bubble bath. each species finds a way to survive. humpbacks have learned to invent and, more importantly, to cooperate. in summer, a miracle arrives from the sea in wave after wave salmon return from the open ocean and embark on a final migration inland to spawn in the same streams of their birth. silver bodies transfiguring for the act of spawning... a phenomenal sense of smell guiding them... they sweep into alaska by the millions in a vast flood of life. -they face a marathon journey upstream sometimes hundreds of miles long yet they persist even in the face of impossible obstacles. for brown bears, the arrival of salmon is the most important feeding event of the year. it's the last opportunity to add the bulk they need for the months of winter hibernation ahead. dominant bears claim the best fishing spots. -such confrontations are rarely bloody. size is power. the subordinate merely finds another spot. bears are not born with fishing skills. each develops a highly specialized style of fishing. -there's the scanner and the apprentice scanner. the pouncer. the submariner. easily distracted. the snatcher. -for the submariner the key is not to be graceful but persistent. most bear fish singly and selfishly. only a mother shares her catch. for some, greed prompts its own style of fishing... the mugger. the salmon banquet is brief. -nothing is wasted. many feed, but with hibernation time approaching none more urgently than bear. to store up fat, bears may fish 20 hours a day. large males can put on 300 pounds. success in the world of the brown bear is a simple matter of reaching one's sleeping weight. -some reach it a little too soon. for salmon that make it past the gauntlet of predators time is running out. powerful instincts have brought them back to lay and fertilize the eggs of the next generation. only one of a hundred born here have survived to perform this final act and in giving life, all will die. their eggs will develop beneath the ice of winter in water enriched by their parents' decaying bodies turning loss to renewal, ending to beginning. -after as few as six weeks of warmth the air grows chilly. summer visitors head south to escape the fierce cold ahead. the first snowfall can arrive in august. now alaska's animals must employ every instinct and adaptation for winter survival. as many as 4,000 eagles gather along the chilkat river in the southeast the largest known congregation of bald eagles in the world. -though most alaskan rivers freeze geothermal heat keeps the chilkat open enabling the eagles to feed on the river's unusually late salmon run. somehow, bald eagles know to return late each fall to the one place that will help ensure their survival. one alaskan animal actually yearns for the onset of winter. where most creatures would perish from exposure polar bears thrive. their body heat is preserved by thick fat and an insulating fur of translucent, hollow hairs. -the summer breakup of offshore ice has marooned them on land where they can't hunt their favorite prey the ringed seal. for now, they survive only on stored fat and buried seaweed and wait patiently for the sea to freeze over so the hunt can resume. some males while away the time in friendly play-fighting. for a female and her youngster the long wait is a time of both motherly affection and danger for the cubs. despite the fierce protection of mothers fewer than half survive their first year. -accidents and starvation are persistent threats but she must also avoid her own kind. male polar bears will eat unprotected cubs. few mothers in all of nature are as devoted as a polar bear. cubs learn early to obey her commands. finally, the sea freezes over. -the season of waiting and fasting ends. with their extraordinary sense of smell they can detect a seal 20 miles away. the feast of winter is about to begin. elsewhere in alaska a time of darkness and scarcity arrives. caribou migrating to wintering grounds scrape beneath the snow day or night for moss and sedge grass. -searching for food they're vulnerable to hungry predators. for a family of wolves prey are easier to track in snow. with jaws powerful enough to crush the caribou's largest bones they will leave little behind. for a species that must cooperate to survive, rivalries are brief the leader's dominance nearly absolute. as the full fury of winter envelops alaska temperatures can reach 50 below zero or lower. -elk have learn to change their diet in winter to feed on only the highest protein forage available. yet it is a harsh time for yearlings. half will not make it. bison, protected by shaggy hair over head and shoulders also grow a special winter fur to cover their hindquarters. the musk ox is outfitted with broad hooves to walk on snow and a winter undercoat of cashmere-like wool softer than a lamb's and impervious to the cold. -alaska's last horned survivor of the pleistocene age it embodies the resiliency and adaptability of life in it's battle with the elements. humans, too, have adapted to the land of winter. called "eskimos" by outsiders descended from peoples who crossed the ice age land bridge the inupiat learned to use every resource in their frozen desert. for food, they turned to the sea. still today, they watch for arriving bowhead whales. -if the inupiat have been respectful they believe a whale will give itself to them as a gift. the hunt, sanctioned by international law is a sacred ritual to the inupiats. hauling in it's body they thank the whale for the gift of life-sustaining nourishment to combat the piercing cold. for other humans, the cold has posed a mortal threat recorded dramatically in images of another age. in 1897, one of history's largest gold strikes drew a quarter-million "stampeders" -through the snowbound passes of alaska towards the gold fields of the klondike. anticipating easy wealth they trudged headlong into an ice age. half the prospectors would never even reach the gold fields. arriving ships were marooned eight months by ice. many attempted to make the journey with pack horses. -the animals died by the thousands. hundreds of men died from exposure or were buried alive in avalanches. of the quarter million who came, perhaps 400 struck it rich. yet some who failed to find easy wealth were inspired by the challenges of this new land. like waves of others across the ages they adapted to alaska and stayed on. -five, four, three, two, one... go. before a crowed that includes descendants of those "stampeders" dog sled teams set out from anchorage each year to commemorate the gold rush in a thousand-mile race known worldwide as the iditarod. in the defiant spirit of alaska winter's harsh challenges are turned to rugged sport. each year, as the warm season approaches the vast spectacle of life's resiliency unfolds again in alaska. -the days lengthen, grasses reemerge and along stream bottoms the promise of the future is renewed. mere glimmers of life now salmon hatchlings will soon depart to return years hence and nourish alaska as a miracle of summer that sustains life in winter. it's a land of countless streams and mountain peaks still unnamed a place shaped by ice and solitude. in alaska, we are witnesses to the triumph of life itself. here, we can rediscover a vitality vanishing from our lives and reawaken the spirit of the wild remembered not in our minds, but in the blood and the heart. -whether or not we will ever reach alaska we all want to know that such a place still exists. (theme song playing) what's it gonna be, hunter? gambling dan wants to know what it's gonna be, hunter. ten bucks. -ten bucks. ten bucks. let me study your face. he's studying your face. what do you see, gambling dan? -he got nothing. you got nothing, you loser. let's see your cards. turn 'em over. three kings. -oh, no, gambling dan. this has never happened before. wow, nice hand, hunter. maybe i did misread you. thanks, dan. -you're welcome. you still lose. flush. i like the way you play. maybe we should hang out more. -yeah, i like you too, shawnie. i was rooting for ya. thanks, louie. so, uh, maybe you'll join us later at clevage. yeah, i'll see if i'm free. -what's this? my best friend and roommate hosting a poker game in our room without me? oh, hey, it's the major. i thought you were with your virgin support group. yeah, well, the other guy dropped out. -nice. so, uh, see you at 7:00 all right, shawnie? and don't bring nobody. 7:00? what's at 7:00, shawnie? -uh, nothing. bunch of us are gonna go to a club. really? and i suppose bunch of us didn't think to invite me either. well, i figured you were busy with topanga. -well, pal, it just so happens i'm free tonight. topanga's busy. see? everything you do is based on topanga. hey, i'm engaged. -i know. sometimes i wonder if that ring's not through your nose. no, it's right here, pal. but perhaps one of my friends is severely jealous of what i have with her. no, i'm not jealous, cory. -i'll be honest with you, okay? whenever i'm doing something with the guys, and i say, "hey, how about cory comes along?" gambling dan says, "no, not cory. he's married. he's dead." -oh, what do i care what gambling dan thinks? why does he call me the major? it stands for "major wuss." he says if there was a whipped magazine,you'dbe thecenterfold. okay, first of all, there is a whipped magazine. -i didn't subscribe, somehow they found me. you tell him that. yeah, i'll tell him that tonight at clevage. club clevage? where the women parade around in little outfits that barely cover their most private of situations? -and angela's letting you go? i'm not with angela anymore, remember? you are with angela. no, i'm not, yentl. well, you should be. -cory, even if i was, if i want to go someplace, i go. well, i want to go, too. uh-huh. cory matthews at clevage? you blush at the beach. -shawn, listen, i don't want to be excluded from all these things just because i'm engaged. it's not that. look, i mean, let's face reality. i broke up with angela. you're still with topanga. -we're in completely different situations now. (stammers) i don't care, okay? you tell gambling dan the major is going. and what, may i ask, are you gonna tell your fiancee? i will tell her what i want to tell her when i choose to tell her or i will tell her or i won't. -it's all up to me. so you're gonna tell her? it's out of my hands. where you going? nothing. -you have no right to judge us. yeah, why are you asking so many questions? we're not hounding you about what you're doing. i'm doing a midterm paper on the influence of women on male bonding. (scoffs) there isn't any. -(laughs) yeah. males were bonding on this planet long before women ever arrived. mmm-hmm. mmm-hmm. this paper's worth half my grade. -i've been praying to come up with a specific case that i could observe, but so far i haven't. look, we're just going out, okay? we're men doing what men do. and you know something? quite frankly, i'm sick and tired of all the scrutiny, the badgering, the nit-picking. -it's gotta stop. don't ask us when we're coming home either, 'cause, quite frankly, it's none of your business. yeah. 'cause we're in college now, huh? uh-huh. you know that? -we're in college. oh, yeah! you're not the boss of us. mmm, huh? nag, nag, nag, nag, nag. -thank you. what nerve! trying to make us feel guilty for going out. i'm telling you, it's that female intuition garbage, man. you see, they sense when a man's about to do something fun and they try to spoil it. -yeah, well, it ain't gonna work on us. no way, j. (laughs) maybe we shouldn't go. get in. (laughs) there's something you don't see every day. -yeah, look, an outie. you know, if the doctor had just tied a neater knot... cory, cory. before we get to the guys, could you age up about 30 years? hey, look. -it's mr. topanga lawrence. what's up, major? you're not nice. oh, what's the matter, major, too much action for you? you didn't get enough love as a child, did you? -beat him up, dan. naw, i'm sure his wife does that for him, already. i'm not married, okay? you see this? it's an engagement ring. -i'm engaged. so nuts to you. you're not helping yourself. what kind of guy wears an engagement ring? i mean, come on, what is that? -(laughs) cory's just really not like everybody else, you know. he's unique. marches to the beat of a different drummer. what does that mean? -i hate it when people say crap i don't get. he's a good guy. listen, i don't need you to defend me, shawn. well, look, he's here. that's a start. -hey, guys. hey, you're new here. i haven't seen you before. (laughs nervously) i'd like a hamburger and french fries. cory, cory, what are you looking at? -the ceiling. why? (stammers) because i'm uncomfortable is why. hi, how ya doing? ooh, i think she likes you, major. -no. (laughs) she doesn't like me. she doesn't even know me. i do like you. he's cute, danny. where you been hiding him? -oh, he doesn't get out much. he's married. (nervous laugh) no, i'm not married. don't listen to him. i'm just here for a hamburger and possibly the beverage of my choice. -well, if you're not married, why are you wearing a ring? ah, it's an engagement ring. oh, this is a bachelor party? no. oh, boy. -no. girls! we got a bachelor party! the cute one with the curly hair. oh, that's good. -oh, gosh. okay. okay, girls. okay, okay, okay, girls! this isn't necessary. -okay, you're all wonderful and special in your own individual ways, but you're smothering me with your... oh, clevage. now i get it. cory, enjoy it. it's just fun. -yeah, maybe you're right. i mean, this is nice. it's not so bad, and besides, what bad could happen? right, topanga? (yells) -engaged. wrong. must poke eyes out. no, no, cory, no. eye poking bad. -cory, if dan sees you bail, there's no way you or i will ever be able to repair the damage done to your reputation. shawn, maybe he's right. maybe i am just mr. topanga lawrence. cory, will you just take the ring off? why? -because it's strangling you. good boy. no, no. you know what, shawn? i don't know about this. -i mean, i want to be one of the guys, but i gotta take my ring off. i don't feel like i belong here. i don't feel like you belong here. i don't even feel like eric belongs here. hey, nurse, how 'bout some chow? -okay, maybe eric. you know, i don't know why we thought we had to sneak out. i mean, look, this is just a harmless, college-town gathering place. uh, yeah, to us. but rachel would see this place as a sleazy, low-life den of iniquity. -hi, could i have a tuna on white? you want to cut the crusts off that for me and serve it in triangles the way my mommy does? thanks, tiffany. she'd think this place would be frequented by the degenerate scum of the earth, you know? hello. -(laughs) cory, what are you doing here? why? does it strike you as odd that one such as i would be found in a place like this? does topanga know you're here? oh, what does it matter? -i'm with the guys tonight. hey, does rachel know you guys are here? (laughing) rachel? whoa, whoa. we don't care what rachel thinks, okay? -she's just our roommate. why would you even ask a question like that? well, she looks surprised to see you. hey, guys. having a good time? -not... ...anymore. (laughs nervously) think tonight was good for both of us, cor. you know, it really put you over the hump with the guys. -yeah, shawnie, this may come as a bomb shell, but that guy dan is a jerk. well, cory, jerk is normal. this is what single guys do in college. so this is what you broke up with angela for? to hang out with guys like that? -this is what you want? no, i want you to let me live. i'm my own man now, okay? i do whatever i want to do, i go wherever i want to go, and i don't have to answer to anybody. -where you guys been? movies. babe ii: pig in the city. cory, you and i were supposed to see that together. -well, he'll definitely go again 'cause it was a great movie (laughs) and he loved it and what's funnier than those mouses, and we all know how i feel about... we went to clevage. ...little pink pigs. you should, 'cause you are one. -oh, come on, don't be like that. it's just a restaurant. and besides, you can't be mad at me. hello, drama queen, we're not going out together anymore, remember? we're just friends. -you're right. you go where you want. hey, come on. hey. cory, can we go inside and talk about this? -no, i'd prefer to talk out here because the light is so lovely. and you look so lovely, so i think... i think we're gonna stay right out here. or here is fine. cory, why? -before you say anything, i just want to state that as a man i am entitled to certain rights and privileges. i understand. so as a man, -i went with other men, and did man things because i do not want to be thought of by those men as... how do i put this delicately? whipped? you could at least let me say it. cory, i'm not mad at you. -but you're disappointed in me. i understand your need to be one of the guys. the only thing that's important to me is that we are always honest with each other, okay? you're not just being understanding now, but actually harboring bitterness and resentment that'll fester over the years until one day you hack me apart in my sleep, right? no, cory, that would be wrong. -yeah, i mean, you don't go around hacking people, right? no, you don't. so let me ask you this. you think of me as my own man, so i can do anything i want? i trust you, cory. -do whatever you want. well, what if i don't want to? then you don't have to. good. because the food is no good and the service is just crazy. -if you think that's best. i do. now come here, huh? give me some sugar. what else is new? -gambling dan wants to see you. he's right there, you pigeon. he just called me a pigeon. you are a pigeon. then it's true. -dude, you were the man tonight. when those waitresses attacked you... okay, i was jealous. you know, i admit i must've had you pegged all wrong. especially, you know, since you stopped wearing that stupid ring. -i mean, come on, what kind of a guy wears an engagement ring? yeah. my ring! i gotta stop looking to the past. i need to look to the future. -(screams) you know, the future is also no good. so just because you were all understanding and mature about this, you really think cory's not gonna go back to that place? i know he won't, angela. it was a one-time guy thing and it's over. -well, i bet shawn's back there right now with all the other pervs. well, i guess as long as some women choose to wiggle around half naked, there'll be men who go to see them. (scoffs) women don't choose to work in a place like that. they're forced into it by circumstances. i work there. -joan, you do? yeah, because i need... stop. you need go no further, my sister. i know the profile. -broken home, years of abuse, then a child out of wedlock, forcing you into financial chaos and a life of degradation and sin. i'm a cook. it's okay. angela's a little bit sensitive these days. is this place really that bad? -it's harmless. i mean, the girls wear more than you'd see them wear at the beach. i'm on my way to work now. you want to check it out? yeah. -i'm kind of curious to see what cory finds so fascinating. you know, i just don't understand it. we have been here all night and it's like you two aren't having any fun at all. well, frankly, we're appalled by what's going on. ma'am, i'm not a chair. -oh, come on, don't let me stop you from having fun. i'm just observing for my paper, that's all. for yeager's class? oh, yeah, that's where i know you from. what's your topic? -women and their influence on male bonding. there isn't any. now, ma'am, would you mind covering up. i'm trying to eat. eric, stop it. -look, all my paper's gonna say is that the two guys that i'm getting to know very well are inhibited in the presence of their female roommate from behaving normally in a male-oriented environment. that's right. thanks to you we understand women a lot better and hold ourselves to a higher standard of morality. really? yeah, really. -i mean, ever since you moved in, we learned this new maturity. and every time you're around, well, we're reminded of it. oh, i'm flattered. thanks, guys. oh, good. -you should be. now get out, it's time for the tushy dance. enjoy. excuse me, which way is the lost and found? over there next to day care. -okay. hi. hey, it's the groom. you had such a good time you decided to come back for more? no, no, actually i decided to come back for my ring, which somehow came off during the festive evening that we spent together. -uh-huh, well, maybe it's in here with all the other rings which just happened to come off. announcer: ladies and gentlemen, clevage presents its world-famous tushy dance. (all cheering) -my ring. i found it! (laughs) i found it. i'm saved! -i found my ring! everything worked out! my tush touched hers. (whooping) see, there's nothing shocking here. -cory, what are you doing? what are you talking about? you're tushy-dancing. i am not. i'm looking at you. -no, this isn't me. i really wish you would stop doing this. why aren't you wearing your ring? oh, i was. see, i had to come back here to pick it... -because i left it and i had to get it back. topanga! topanga. topanga, listen. there's a perfectly logical reason for what happened. -really? i'd love to hear it. good, good, good. you know, this is so funny. you're gonna laugh, topanga. -you really are. see, um... i didn't go back to that place tonight to do the tushy dance. i only went back because i left my ring on the table and i had to go back and get it. why would you take off your ring? -because they were calling me "the major." listen, there are some places where a guy goes where he feels uncomfortable wearing a ring. and most guys don't even wear a ring before they get married. and even some married guys don't wear rings. cory, i never asked you to wear an engagement ring. -you saw mine and said, "pretty, i want one." yeah, that's because i didn't expect all the men to hate me for it. but you should see them, topanga. they really do hate me. i mean i stick out every place they go together. -poker games, steam baths, cockfights. cory, don't you realize that the people you so desperately want to be accepted by would probably rather have what you have? what do i have? me. oh. -i mean, someone who cares about them. that's all that the ring is about, cory, that i have somebody that cares about me. but i care about you whether you want to wear the ring or you don't. if i want to play poker, i'm playing. go. -play. and if i want to play me a little touch football on the field with the boys, i'm playing. you go and run real hard. and if i want to take my ring off... no. -you either wear the ring or you don't. why? because i have feelings, too, cory. hey, matthews. poker game. -my room. dig this, you're actually invited this time. this is great, man. there's two poker games on the same day i get my allowance check from mom. yeah, ironic, isn't it? -hey, shawnie. hey, cor. you still hanging out with those guys? yeah, it's either that or sleep. you coming tonight? -yeah, save me a seat. but if i don't show up, it's probably 'cause i'm having a better time with somebody else. good for you guys. you know, shawn, you're always invited to hang out with us. -i know, cor. (sighs) recognize this face? what did you say this guys name was? i didn't -his name is andrew kunain, he's 27 years old, family lives near here. no, judge de silva, andrew de silva, his father used to come in here all the time, buy cigars... kohibas kohibas, the man's got taste. well, he was supposed to be some tycoon in the philippines or something -and he's rich too. yea, but i heard he had to leave the country, cause he was involved in some embezzlement of some stocks. i find out his last place of residence was some dump in san diego. we found a lot of sm toys. ahh, that was andy. -he loved toys. a lot of the people i talked to knew him pretty well. seems like he could never tell the truth about himself for more than 5 minutes at a stretch. well, he did make up some fantastic stories. most of them were so pretentious, so phony they were laughable. -i don't know who believed him. he once told me that he was married to a jewish woman, and his father in law was head of israeli masondin. still i found him so adorable. you liked him a lot. well, he was young, attractive, entertaining, what's not to like. -cute and a little mean, an irresistible combination. any way, i just fell in love with him. seems like a lot of your people did. my people! people like you... -i mean ohh, i have nothing more to say, officer. uh, i'm not... good bye offcer! ... -listen, you know... touchy. would you please tell us anything you know about him. from what i heard, as child he was never deprived of anything. he was the only one that the family sent to private school. -ohh, he was so flamboyant. you should have seen the first time that i met him. he was beautiful, not just physically. i mean, he was incredible charming, even when you knew that he was bullshitting you, it was still hard to turn yourself off of him. you saw him in his tailored blazers, smoking his fat kohiba cigars. -he made it hard to say no. forgive me for being blunt, but are you saying you had an affair with him? you're asking me if slept with him? uh huh. i wish! -nooo. guess who, ducky. up for a little business tonight? what kind? yea, i thought so... -well, i'll see you at the restaurant. ciao. shit! good evening sir, how are you doing tonight?

why don't you give it to him yourself? so you are still together? da. -andy, why do you think i left san diego? because you hated your life there with me and you wanted to start a new one with jeffrey. i couldn't stand watching your little charade, posh parties, unpaid tabs at the expensive restaurants. i just couldn't stand watching what you were doing. to you? -to our friends, andy, to yourself. huh, well at least the sex was good. come on... you know i couldn't stand that shit. what shit? the sm, leather, the whips, kinky games, fits of jealous rage, you almost choked me to death that night. -you're shit was out of control. so you really didn't care for me, did you. andy, i did care for you. sky vodka... cool. andy, i still care about you. -so much, that you stole jeffrey away from me. i didn't steal anyone away from you. jeffrey couldn't stand it anymore than i could. that's not true. it is true. -the how and why it happened. andy, you don't belong here. you have to go! go where?

i wish that jeffrey was here so that both of you could nag at me in stereo. you would like that wouldn't you? you think i'm enjoying this? -i cared about you. i just can't bide watching you destroy yourself again. i guess that's as close to an i love that i'm going to get this evening. if you have to, stay here, but, if you're staying, stay on the sofa. you know the way i work, when i have an inspiration, -i sleep with it and, if in the morning, the thought is still in my head, then it's worth working for it. come on, let me see. what did donatella say? she thinks it's fine. i think it's a little to much, gianni! -it is. then it's fine. if i trust my sister, then so should you. don't you think this is a bit too much? but donatella... if the neckline weren't down to the ankles, she'd think we were too conservative. -what have i always told you it's never too much, never too little, never too anything. for the prices we ask, people want to buy some fun. and if madonna buys versace, everybody buys a versace. hal la cjnckjsv and remember it has to be ready for the show in new york. yes. -oh, and antonio, is the cafe open?

-true, we cannot discount the possibility of aids. but there is no solid evidence that kunanin is hiv positive and if so that that's what sparked his revenge killing spree. but if that is the case, it will be easy to catch him, we just have to find his past lovers. even if that is the case, it doesn't answer the question. why, why? -would aids spark him to be a crazed murderer. i mean thousands of people have aids and they don't go on killing sprees. unbelievable... here's your money. tell me when i'll see you again pal. -in hell! only $300... fuck! it is now certain the young man came to minneapolis from southern california, probably san diego. the fbi is conducting a nation wide manhunt for this man. -he was last seen driving through chicago's gay neighborhoods in a gray jeep cherokee he allegedly stole from his previous victim. this young man is known for preying on elderly, wealthy men. he is known to be ruthless and will stop at nothing. if you see this man you should call the fbi or your local police immediately. fuck! -stop, come back here you're stealing my car! help, help, help you're not dead yet?

i'm sorry andy... you don't know how sorry you're going to be! ladies and gentlemen, please hold your questions. the spree murderer has been identified as andrew kunanin ...of san diego, california. -kunanin has been on the top of the fbi's most wanted list for several weeks now. i'd like to turn it over now to special agents' john jacoby and bernie rogers of the fbi. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. our ballistics reports indicate that the bullets found in the body of gianni versace match the ones found in the victims david madsen of minneapolis and william reese of new jersey killed earlier this month. we believe that kunanin is till on the island. -how can you be so sure, agent jacoby? well, for one, we have found a vehicle in a parking garage on collins avenue, the vehicle is a red gmc pickup and belonged to mr. william reese of new jersey. vicivsvnsdsds in addition, we have been combing miami int'l airport since this morning and have found nothing. what is your plan? -what is the fbi's plan? who's the next victim? madonna? very funny we have a plan a very good one. -now if you'll all just be patient, we'll get information to you as soon as it comes up. thank you. hello... yea, this is detective rogers. yes mam. -you saw kunanin you saw him in, in, in israel. i believe you. believe me, i believe you. would you hold on please. we don't expect to see kunanin ...this guy says he saw kunanin in alaska! -hold on mam hey, what you doin here?

the bullets fly over me... who shot at you? -the man in the tv where are you? in the houseboat, in miami beach where, where! ? -at 5215 collins avenue are you sure it was kunanin? alright, slow down now, please, only english. i am telling you, he is the man on the tv, ...i see all the time 2, 3 days ... he's here! alright, alright sir. -we got him fuck you fuck you all! i am fernando garrerra, he's still inside the boat. seems like we're late again i think you're right. -you guys take it in ...you guys stay back it's him... andrew kunanin god damn him! it's a versace! -you think they knew each other? i don't know. that's funny... i heard two shots. he had to be dead after the first one. -maybe somebody else killed him. da... maybe ... excuse me, i was just wondering what you're doing here? i'm here for my gianni. -did you know him? yes god bless you. see what kunanin did? well, the way kunanin lived, as far as i've seen it, is fuck you to people and that's the way he died. -you want answers, you want to know why, well fuck you. reason people want to know is because you get this fear about the guy next to you, right, and you wonder what could make somebody become this kind of horror. there just looking for something, you know, it's an omen, a danger sign, a red flag. damn! it's funny. -it's like there were mirror images of each other. gianni versace was this successful, powerful, brilliant gay man which is everything that kunanin wanted to be but couldn't become, so he had to do the only thing he knew how to do, which was steal somebody else's fame. yea! we are people hooked on celebrity. -we buy supermarket tabloids, we're addicted. there's no sense to it. that we're more interested in movie stars, fashion designers and tycoons than brain surgeons. and any student of religion can tell you that people create their own god if that's kind of people we are then somebody like andrew kunanin was inevitable. -maybe one day the devil will change back into in an angel. unfortunately, it won't be in our time. sfarsit traducerea si adaptarea andreea groza, (te cam iubeste pitz) now, let me show you how a boss walks. -doesn't stop. doesn't care who's in his way. even turning is like... so perfect... winston! thank you. -it was... it was most kind. it was very thoughtful of you to mend the hem of my trousers. it's part of my work, mr. kinsky. well, thank you all the same. good night. -good night. morning, shandurai. good morning, mr. kinsky. i don't think he has any friends. he had this rich aunt... -you'll end up in bed with him. so then, come to bed with me. anyway, you are always telling me you are gay. exactly. you're the only woman in the world i could sleep with. -i'm going home. i have an exam soon, agostino, you know? me, too. well, it's important to me, and this is a waste of time! this is my cabinet! -i think this is yours. it belonged to my aunt. i do not understand you! i don't understand this music. i rather hoped you might keep it. -it's not possible i keep this. you know? why? why do i keep this? i love you. -i absolutely... look, i'm in love with you. i'm sorry. i think i should go. marry me! -marry you? marry me, yes. please. i cannot marry you. marry me. -you're crazy. i've never felt anything like this before. i've never... i've never said such things. i love you. -we could go anywhere. i'll go anywhere with you. we could go to africa. africa? what do you know about africa? -what do you know? let me go. please love me. please love me! i'd do anything. -what do i have to do to make you love me? i'll do anything! you get my husband out of jail! i'm sorry. i didn't realize you were married. -may i ask you why he's in jail? are you all right? i believe this is yours. sorry. uh, it just slipped. -he said to the disciples... "people were eating and drinking... "buying and selling... "planting and building... "but the day lot left sodom... -"it rained fire and brimstone from heaven... "and it destroyed them all. "anyone who tries to preserve his life... "will lose it. "and anyone who loses it... -"will be kept safe." you want coffee? something? no, no, no. i don't think so. -thank you all the same. congratulations. i have to go out for the day. someone's coming to collect the tapestry from the music room... so if you could just show them where it is. i suppose they'll need the ladder. -coming. oh, no, i clean later. no, no. please, please, please. shandurai, could you please pass me... some of the manuscript paper over there? -there's not much to dust now. yes. i know. the carpet could do with some hoovering, though. you sure i don't disturb you? -go ahead. the bookcase. uh, i'll get it. father! you're here? -well, uh... carry on, carry on. well, wonderful, wonderful. where? i'll see you in one minute. -i must go out. "my dear shandurai..." "good news of your husband. "he is alive." "he is being transferred... -"from the military jail..." "to an ordinary prison... "and his trial has been set for next week. who is this? why? -found you. agostino. let me in. no, no, no. please, let me in. -what are you doing here? let me in. let me in. please, please. he's good, your pianist. -i can be a student for the rest of my life. why not? was it so bad? dreadful. they were really homophobic. -let's get drunk. where is the whiskey, the cognac? no, let go of me! what? go, go? -go out? where? you ok, mr. kinsky? yes, i'm fine. are you sure? -it's just... you seem... seem what? maybe something i can do for you, hey? no, thank you. well, as a matter of fact, um... -i'll be giving a small concert next friday for some friends. perhaps you could arrange to be there to help. yes, of course. i'll be performing a little piece i composed. you'll probably find it rather... trivial. -what is it? mr. kinsky, i want to ask you something. i wanted to ask you if, uh... what? there's this friend of mine... and it's his birthday on friday... so i wanted to give him a present... and i thought that maybe he could be at your concert. -yes, of course. the one who was making so much noise. i meant to say sorry. i didn't know he was coming, and... he was very, very drunk 'cause he failed his exam... and i said, "zitto, zitto, quiet," but he still... he's not my boyfriend. -shandurai, where are you going? my husband. "freedom. arriving sunday at dawn. winston." -we must give him a big party. you'll make love for a week. you've gotta believe it, yes? aren't you happy, shandurai? i don't know. -why? come in. an incredible thing has happened. i heard from my husband... and he is alive. he's been freed. -he's free. well, that's marvelous news. you must be very happy. i wanted to ask you if... it would be okthat winston... stays with me downstairs for a few days. of course, of course. -when is he arriving? very early tomorrow morning. well, that's very exciting for you. he's a brave man, you know. he's a good man. -i respect him very much. i found the ball. look forward to meeting him. to our lord, who once again has given us proof of his mercy. and to you, for your kindness, your help, and your tenacity. -i hope one day you'll invite me to one of your concerts. i don't really give concerts. what? i don't play in public. why not? -well... one of the finest pianists of our day, vladimir horowitz... he stopped playing at the peak of his career. became convinced that his... his fingers were made of glass. each time he struck... he was terrified that the finger might just shatter. franco ferarro, wonderful italian conductor. -every time he mounted the podium... he sensed this terrible force... pushing him backwards. he just... fainted away, just fainted every time. you faint? that is why you don't give concerts. i don't... -i don't faint. no, no, no, no, i've had enough. oh, well. we've all had enough. now, what about you? -why don't you play in public? me? i'm just not good enough. personal journal, captain elizabeth lochley: addendum. -the centauri war continues to spiral out of control. the threat of retaliation has already reached babylon 5. over a half dozen centauri have been murdered in just the last three days. fifty ccs of hydromorphazine. medlab 2, let's move. -go. go. franklin. got another in red 4. yeah, i'm right there. -in an attempt to reduce the number of casualties i've doubled security on every level. excuse me. pardon me. it hasn't helped. all right. -let's get him to medlab 2. everybody, clear on out. move on out of the way. if this continues, we may have no choice but to quarantine the centauri. we'll have to try and limit them to parts of the station where they won't run into anyone they're currently at war with. -unfortunately, that seems to be just about everyone right now. so my options seem to be somewhat limited. yes? mr. president. you're up late. -it's almost 2 in the morning. yeah, i know. i was just on my way to my quarters. figured i'd stop by and bring you up to speed on the latest from mr. garibaldi. we've had reports, unconfirmed but reliable that the centauri have begun targeting enemy jumpgates. -but that's a violation of every rule of civilized warfare. wars come and go, but the jumpgates have to go on. otherwise the entire hyperspace beacon system falls apart. if that happens it'll hurt them as much as anyone else. i know, but they're doing it anyway. -they're completely out of control. which means they might even be willing to strike here. i've considered that possibility. we're on level 2 alert. the defense grid is online 24 hours a day. -and i've stationed half our fighters outside the station the other half are standing by in hyperspace. i don't think we're gonna have to worry about it for a while, though. even the centauri have to realize that babylon 5 is vital to the peace process. i don't think they'll come after us until the white star fleet gets into it. exactly. -i gave the formal "go" order a few hours ago. the white stars are authorized to fire at any centauri warship engaged in combat with alliance vessels. any hope of neutrality babylon 5 had until now just went up in smoke. lochley to c c. c c online. -we've got a problem. and so it begins. there's a hole in your mind. what do you want? no one here is exactly what he appears. -nothing's the same anymore. commander sinclair is being reassigned. why don't you eliminate the entire narn homeworld? i see a great hand reaching out of the stars. president clark has signed a decree declaring martial law. -these orders have forced us to declare independence. unless your people get off their butts and do something... you're the one who was. if you go to z'ha'dum, you will die. why are you here? -i think of my beautiful city in flames. giants in the playground. get out of our galaxy! we are here to place president clark under arrest. something's bothering you. -what is it? i need to ask you to do something i don't want to ask you to do. well if it's about my wearing those little... no. i appreciate the gift. -and i didn't say i wouldn't wear them, i just said that for me, from a minbari perspective, i thought it looked silly. no. it doesn't have anything to do with that. business, then. since we got into this war i've been going over the files of our resources: -ships. we lost a lot of white star ships during the shadow war the battle for earth, and we're bound to lose more now that we're in this with the centauri. sooner or later we are going to run out. i know. the problem is we've been using them against everything from medium-size cruisers to full-blown destroyers. -so far they've been able to hold their own against ships five, six times their size and that's commendable, but we can't keep doing that. exactly. we are going to need more ships, delenn. bigger ships. that may be a problem. -the grey council approved the white star fleet for use during the shadow war. we were fortunate to inherit them afterward. but the resources in going back and building a whole new class of ship... can be spread around a little. i just had a courier deliver a message to president luchenko suggesting a joint earth/minbari project. -now, we'll start with one or two prototypes. you'll provide the design specs and the material for a destroyer-class white star. earth handles the finances and the construction. and her government benefits from the new technologies involved. very tidy. -i assume she said yes. well, she said she'd say yes if the minbari said yes first. she's not gonna stick her neck out if it's not gonna happen. so you would like me to contact the grey council and propose this. done. -why were you so reluctant? i need you to go there in person, delenn. this has to be done in secret until the first prototype rolls off the assembly line. but the hyperspace routes from here to minbar are not safe we've got centauri all over the map, we've got firefights every inch of the way. if you run into trouble... -i'll walk out of it. more dignified that way. you don't have to do this. i know. i'll arrange to leave at the first opportunity. -all right. but don't take any unnecessary risks. people always say that. they want to find lives in which risk is unnecessary. there's only one problem with that: -it's impossible. sheridan, go. mr. president we've got more reports from the front line coming in. all right. my office, 20 minutes. -yes. vir, you wanted to see us. yes, yes, thank you for coming. please, sit. i'm sorry about the accommodations. -the captain had me moved here because my other quarters weren't safe. too many people knew where they were. that's fine, vir. so, what's up? i have a favor to ask both of you. -as you know, our ships have been in combat with well, just about everyone, really. our biggest losses have been in the drazi space. they are real good fighters. not terrific conversationalists and their table manners can make you go blind in one eye but really tough behind the weapons consoles. but on the occasion that we've destroyed one of their ships we have always returned their bodies to them. -they have not done the same for us in return. well, the exchange of bodies during hostilities is a key point in the declaration of principles. now, the drazi signed on, same as everyone else. i know, but they're still not returning the bodies. that's unfortunate, vir, and i feel for you but what are we supposed to do about it? -well, it's the way that they're refusing to return the bodies that makes me think there's something else going on behind the scenes. you, as the chief medical officer of the alliance you could put pressure on them into returning the bodies. and a telepath, a good one could find out what they're hiding and where and why. vir, this isn't exactly my area of expertise. now, mr. garibaldi... -would not know what to look for. i mean, what if they're not releasing the bodies because our people are still alive and they're just torturing them for information? i mean, you could find out who died in space and who died elsewhere. you know this means going to the drazi homeworld. well, i have a vree transport standing by. -and since they're declared neutral in the war they would have no problem landing on drazi homeworld. you're the only one who could do this. please say yes. i'll have to clear it with the president. i'll abide by his decision. -thank you. thank you both. i haven't said yes, vir. i'm sorry. i assumed that you were... -don't. i'm willing to go along and help out stephen. we've worked well together in the past. but considering the risk, i have to ask for a slightly higher fee than usual. well... -all right, i can... 500,000 credits. that's a lot of money, lyta. depending on how the war goes, that could be as cheap as one credit per body. i could do 4, but... -it's 5 or i stay home. this is the uplink address for the account. the money goes into a general fund to be used in helping other telepaths escape the psi corps and eventually secure a homeworld of our own. consider this a charitable donation. hell, it might even be deductible. -i'll be in my quarters when you've made up your mind. good day. has she changed, or is it me? oh, she's changed. have you talked to londo about this? -maybe he could pull some strings. the prime minister is otherwise engaged just now. i still think you should leave, mollari. no. i said, where you go, i go. -it's become a matter of principle. you picked a terrible moment in your social evolution to develop principles. perhaps you could start with something simpler. the moral equivalent of an opposable thumb, for instance. mollari, your people are at war. -i know. and while it pains me to be in here i think that i may do more good in here than out there. g'kar, the regent either ordered the war directly or allowed others to act on his behalf. either way the only way to stop this war is to go up against the regent himself. in order to do that without being executed, i have to have supporters. -now, when the word gets out that the prime minister is being held without charge in a cell in the royal palace, the people will be outraged. even the centaurum will have to respond. demonstrating that the regent is not acting responsibly is the first step in countermanding his orders to our ships. the centaurum may even issue a cease-fire over his objections. i see. -and how long do you plan to wait for this popular uprising to take place? just until morning. that would make three days. more than enough. now, please leave me alone. -i am tired and i need to get some... adira. who are you? what do you want with me? yes. -he will be sufficient. you were having a nightmare. yes. terrible. what time is it? -morning. i woke up when i thought i heard the expected angry mob... but it was just you. did you know that you snore? i have to get out of here. -that's what i've been saying for some time now. no, i have to get out of here now. i have this feeling something is terribly wrong. you're at war with everyone in the known universe. perhaps you were thinking of that. -no, more than that. i have to get out. but i have to be sure i save face. i said i would stay with you until they released you. so how can i? -leave it to me. what are you doing? i have to concentrate. concentrate on what? last night's supper. -no, wait. there has to be another way. wait! thank you! who knew they could make such a stench as that! -great maker, i don't even want to think about it. i couldn't stay in there a moment longer. and the smell was not the worst of it. it was the burning in my eyes! i think my buttons are melting! -mr. president. as you requested, generals na'tok, daro and kulomani. thank you for coming, gentlemen. i believe you all know captain lochley. since time is precious to us all, i won't keep you. -i just wanted to get a personal report on the progress of the centauri conflict. with the help of the white star fleet, we are holding our own, mr. president. several incursions on brakiri space have been beaten back in just the last 24 hours. the narn homeworld and territories have experienced similar attacks. with the depletion of our forces after our last experience with the centauri we would've suffered even greater casualties without the assistance of the white star fleet. -am i correct in that each of your governments is primarily engaged in defending your own borders? yes. why haven't you consolidated your forces? the drazi have endured fewer losses in recent months. you could send some ships to the narn sector of space the brakiri could... -brakiri will not take orders from drazi. and the drazi, i'm sorry to say, will not take orders from us. we can win this war on our own. we do not need their guidance. we have experience with the centauri that might prove useful. -we know all we need to know. i thought this was supposed to be an alliance all of you working together in common cause. we are, in our own individual and sovereign ways. we can settle this later, captain. at the moment what i am trying to get from all of you is a sense of their strategy. -we've detected two different parts of their program. one part is designed to protect their bases from attack while the other wing engages primarily in offensive maneuvers. has there been any exchange between the two? little or none. it's like having a defensive and offensive special team in football. -is this typical of their strategy, general na'tok? no. perhaps they have changed. yeah, maybe. it's strange, though. -anyway, those are their tactics. what is the overall strategy? you can't just fight a war to fight a war and honk off your neighbors. there have to be definitive and, to their minds, achievable goals. now, what are they? -what does it look like they might be? are they moving toward anything? their strategy has not yet become clear. and this doesn't seem strange to you? lochley, go. -we've got a situation developing up here, captain. on my way. if you'll excuse me. what does seem strange to me is that we are reacting and not acting. we have the resources to be more aggressive to strike at their holdings in a more meaningful way. -why are we not doing so? our first goal should be to draw a line in space contain their forces and then... we will win the war more quickly by attacking the centauri homeworld, as they have attacked ours! no! i won't sanction that. -military targets are one thing, but if you hit centauri prime you are hitting civilian targets! they have not hesitated to kill our civilians! now, i know that. but you can't... mr. president we must have our revenge. -this isn't about revenge, general. this is about taking out their ability to make war. we strike cleanly, surgically, and we do not hit civilian targets. do i make myself absolutely crystal clear? okay, what do we got? -one of the long-range hyperspace probes picked this up a few minutes ago. it's definitely a centauri cruiser. shall i go to red alert? not yet. if they have people on this station, they'll know we've seen them. -any sign of support vessels? negative. just one cruiser. that doesn't make sense. a war cruiser that size would never go out alone. -is alpha squadron still out there? standing by. getting some additional readings from the probe. weapons systems currently not active. well, that's encouraging. -getting some unusual readings from the jump engines. could be an error in the scanners. life signs read... captain, life signs read negative. there's no one aboard that cruiser. -she's on auto-control. captain lochley to alpha squadron. break and attack! i repeat, break and attack! roger that. -alpha squadron heading in. she's gonna blow the jumpgate. jump engines at critical mass. approaching overload. she'll probably open a jump point, come through and blow it sky-high. -thirty seconds to jump. move the struts as far apart as we can. we minimize damage when it explodes. ten seconds. alpha squadron, i want that ship out of my sky! -damage report. how bad was the gate hit? most of the energy was deflected forward by the jump point instead of spreading out. minimal damage to jumpgate struts and control mechanisms. structural integrity? -it's holding together. get a repair crew out there asap. all traffic will stand by during repairs. that was too damn close. if it had gotten all the way into the jumpgate... -i want those long-range probes extended. they're at maximum now. use the starfuries to boost the signal. i do not want another situation like this. very sloppy of them. -it's as i told you, na'tok. the humans do not have the stomach for this war. we will end it as it should be ended: by striking the centauri homeworld if you are with us. the narn government has no special love of the centauri or its citizens. -we are with you. is everyone all right? inside the station, yes. two starfury pilots who were guarding the jumpgate were wounded one killed in the explosion. lochley's got the place buttoned up tight. -they won't get a second chance. how badly was the gate damaged? well, it'll be out of commission at least two or three days. that means the civilian traffic will be stranded. fortunately, the white stars and other warships can jump in and out on their own. -it looks like i was worried about you when i should've been worried about us. how long until you get to minbar? 48 hours, your time. i've already spoken with the grey council, told them i need to talk to them though i haven't said why. good. -and let me know when they come to a decision. i could use a little good news right about now. well, i should be getting back into things, delenn. it's frantic around here, and with you and stephen gone... stephen is gone? -where? i thought you knew. stephen and lyta took off for the drazi homeworld about a day before you left. some kind of mission of mercy. if you turn that the other way, maybe... -yeah, you're right. why don't you ask somebody? no, i got a map. what is this with men? excuse me. -excuse me. all right, here we go. you sure you know where we're going? yeah, it's the same hotel that michael stayed at. he said the room service is good and the food is cheap and the staff is friendly. -meaning the food stinks, the rooms are small and the staff will knife you in the back. exactly. all right, i think it's... it's that way. well, now, don't worry, all right? -we only have a few hours before our contact. you got that? let's go. and there is no one more fond of the regent than i am. it was i who recommended him for the position after the death of emperor cartagia. -the centaurum agreed. after having endured so much pain and suffering, he seemed a safe choice. apparently we were wrong. i disagree. you disagree? -on what basis? minister cholini, as head of the defense ministry you know that our ships have been used to... defend the centauri holdings from enemy attack, that's all. that's not true. i have seen our ships attack members of the alliance. -i'm not responsible for what you have and haven't seen. all i can tell you is that i'm in daily contact with our fleet commanders and their orders, straight from the regent, have never altered. we've been on a strictly defensive footing from the beginning. anything else is propaganda. now, if you wish to move against the regent i'm afraid you must do it without the backing of the ministry of defense. -good day, mollari. what? mr. president... do you have to lean on the doorbell? i'm sorry. -i ran all the way over here. you gotta see this. this is the latest on the disposition of our forces. thirty percent of the narn and drazi fleets have gone missing. what? -they tried to hide it but we got ids on all the ships in the fighting area. they left just enough behind to defend their assets. the rest took off. i think they're headed for centauri prime. i need proof. -we don't have time. you are the only one who can stop them. you gotta get between them and the target or we'll end up with a quarter million dead centauri on our hands. damn it! get me a white star, any of them. -i don't care, just so long as it's fast. how much head start do they have? unknown. they could have started when we were meeting. if that's true, michael, i'll skin them alive. -come on. dr. franklin? yes. dr. literana varda. we spoke. -yes, come on in. i was hoping that was you. this is my associate. lyta alexander, this is dr. varda. honored. -i cannot stay. we're very busy right now. but i have checked as you asked. we have no centauri bodies here. i see. -and do you know where the bodies are? out there. i surveyed the damaged ships and the bodies were in such disarray that you could not put them together and make sense of it. just parts floating in space. why are you lying to us? -i'm not. this is an outrage. lyta, down! lyta. varda! -what are you hiding? what? what? what is it? take me there. -now! any word from na'tok? negative. all right, keep trying. we're heading out. -i just hope to god we get there in time. here we go again. hit it. gravimetric engines online. navigational thrusters ahead. -we're two jumps from home, delenn. good. any further news from babylon 5? no, not since the... what is it? -trouble. i read four centauri warships. too many to fight. evasive maneuvers. they've seen us. -jump to normal space. notify babylon 5 before... which way? which way? you tell us which way or i'm gonna give you back to her. -you understand? left. let's go. open it. open it. -let's see what the hell was so important you were willing to kill us for it. come on. holy... i don't get it. where are all the bodies? -what is this stuff? there are no bodies. the attacking centauri warships were empty. no crew members aboard, no one to capture, no bodies to return. there were only these attached to the system. -i know this. i know what this is. run! they're onto us! hello, mollari. -regent? i told you we would speak again before the end. i always try to keep my promises especially to those who have been kind to me as you have been. it is no burden. regent, i've been trying to see you for some time. -our ships... yes. i know. then you gave the order. after a fashion. -i have always tried to do the right thing. you know. when circumstances allowed. yes, we all do, regent. yes. -and now it is your time. mine is almost over. i have to say i'll be glad of it. i'm so tired of it all, londo. i'm glad i won't live to see what follows. -why? what is going to follow? what do you mean there were no crew aboard? garibaldi said there were two separate centauri fleets engaged in the war: one defensive, one offensive. -but no one in the centauri military knew anything about the attacks only that they were defending themselves against us. now we know why. this isn 't making sense. this is leftover shadow technology, mr. president. the vorlons gave me information on them in case i ever ran across one. -i understand a few years ago one was found by the psi corps. it's an organic device used to control a ship from a long distance. you put two or three of these onboard a starship and you don't even need a crew. how the hell did the centauri get their hands on them? well, that's the real question. -we know that a lot of aliens who worked for the shadows got away with their technology. how much, we don't know. but it's possible that one of these races sold the stuff to the centauri. with the cooperation of a few others in charge of the military the regent could run an offensive war without the military knowing about it. but there's another possibility. -a third party could use these devices to set up the centauri turn everyone against them. and the drazi, they wouldn't tell anybody about these things. they've always competed with the centauri for trade. a war would be in their best interest. besides, this is pretty advanced technology. -if they told the alliance, they'd have to turn over the devices for study. and meanwhile, the attacks go on. of course. of course! that's why we couldn't figure out a strategy behind the random attacks. -we couldn't see a goal because there was no goal. there was no strategy beyond alienating everyone in the alliance turn them against the centauri so that... so they'd attack! listen, all the white stars in your area are out. can you get out of there in one piece? -i think so. good. get ahold of garibaldi if you can. tell him he has to keep trying to reach the drazi and narn fleets. now, they are jamming us, but he has to get through to them before it's too late. -give me everything you've got! the lives of several million people are riding on this. delenn. lennier. what...? -delenn we've been hit. badly. i managed to get to the consoles and check on our condition. how bad is it? jump engines are off-line. -most of the crew are dead. there are a few survivors on a lower deck. they can't get past the debris between levels. we have enough power in our navigational thrusters to keep from going too far off the beacon. but once they run out we'll start to drift. -distress signal. activated. but i can't tell if it's working or not. and my leg appears to be broken in two places. this is bad, then. -very bad, delenn. it's going to be a pretty night. the last one i will ever see. you shouldn't talk that way, regent. you still have many years ahead of you. -that's why it's important to recall the ships. we can still make peace. oh, there will be peace for a while. it never lasts, really. they said so. -they said both things, actually. that there will be peace and that it won't last. they also said i would be dead by morning. and that tomorrow you will be emperor. they said many, many things. -things i didn't want to hear. things i didn't understand. and things i didn't want to understand. "they"? who are "they," regent? -oh, you will find out for yourself soon enough, londo. you shouldn't rush your last free hours. and there was something else they told me to do. and i did it just a few moments before i came to see you. the last thing i will ever have to do for them. -and in a way i'm glad it's over. what did they ask you to do? to send away all the ships guarding centauri prime on a false emergency and turn off the planetary defense network. no. i think i'll stay and watch from here. -the sky should be lighting up any time now. i imagine it will be quite beautiful. no! no. subtitles by sdi media group -(water lapping) chris: when i was young i met this beautiful girl by a lake. ow! -hey! whoa! (girl laughing) scusi! scusi! -dov'è la svizzera? no capisce. no capisce? où est la suisse? switzerland? -suisse. yeah. switzerland. hi. you're american? -so are you? annie: yeah. keep going till you smell money or step in chocolate. okay. -thank you. watch your head. you okay? i'm fine. can i sit here? -no. i reserved this specific area. what if i say please? that's the one exception. oh. -careful there. you find switzerland? um... i did. i claimed it for missouri. -planted my flag and sold beads to the natives. they had sandwiches there. i brought you some. i'm ann. collins. -(in swiss accent) the lady who discovered switzerland. read it all in the papers. i'm chris nielsen. how did you know i'd be here? um... -i didn't. (chuckling) (exclaiming) (children laughing) (dog barking) -(lndistinct chattering) (children laughing) let's make out. (chuckling) (all laughing) -you've got to eat something. i don't. i can get something at school. i know what! i got a game. -and a math test. i'm ready. i'm cool. if you get me i won't have to wait at his incredibly boring game. -i have a meeting. angie's gonna pick you up before she gets your brother. i'll let her take the van. i'll see your chorus thing tomorrows. i thought you couldn't. -i don't wanna miss it. guys! i'll pull out the van. okay? yeah. -iove you. do you... do you want his breakfast? (horn honking) (engine starting) -you mother puts healthy stuff in. don't trade it... for chips and cookies. i know. chris: -it was the last time annie and i saw them alive. minister: when death claims the life of our children we are left with too many questions. how do we make sense of the feelings we're left with? the gospel according to luke even the first corinthians tell us of the extraordinary paradise that awaits us. -(children laughing) (woman chatteringnon pa system) okay. the lucky winner is jacobs. -stacy jacobs. i'm dr. nielsen. hi. too late. oh! -nice stream. he's feeling better. he waited 10 years. stacy jacobs! what were you thinking? -it's all right. what's the difference? you weren't looking anyway. you like rabbits? yes? -then go like this. good. ready? (grunting) we've given her mris and... -whoa! wild rabbit. watch out. i believe. you have more pictures than a supermodel. -do you ever wear glasses? she doesn't need glasses. does your head hurt a lot? all the time. i want you to do something for me. -cover your nose and mouth like this. and just breathe in and out. woman: (on intercom) mrs. nielsen on four. that's my wife. if you can do it longer than she can talk that's an achievement. -i've got a meltdown. take a breath. eight pieces from germany never arrived. i've gotta choose replacements the night before the opening re-light them and i... (sighing) focus. it's our double d-anniversary. -i'm ruining it. yeah. i can't leave here. i'm sorry. how about this. -how about the hudson rivers? that gives us three. and the hollenbeck 19 and 23 and the bridge. but they're in fairfield. i don't have anybody to send. -i'll drop by after work. huh? you'd do that for me? only if you're incredibly grateful. that's a chance to show yours. -it's very sexy. (both breathing) weirdo. but i'll be home. bella. too. -bye. do you like art? my wife fixes paintings and also makes some. paintings are the most important interesting thing in the world ext to your brain. don't you? -(scoffs) migraines. bella. i'll always remember that. at least i got to say it. (car horns blaring) -(tires screeching) (gasps) (baby crying) you all right? woman: -i think so. (shuddering) i'm a doctor. don't move. (tires screeching) (man chatteringnon police radio) -(lndistinct chattering) man: chris? chris: hmm? -do you know what's happened? yeah. i had a bad piece of fish before bed. (chuckles) (monitors beeping) -who are you? a doc? are you operating on me? who are you? why can't i see you? -(beeping increases) (dog barking) you see me? man: (chuckling) she does. dogs are different. can you see me now? -doc? why are you so blurred? chris. confused how you got home so fast? dreams don't deal in time. -time doesn't count. (lndistinct muttering) chris. doc. would i need you to tell me? -i guess you do. everyone's different. i wish everybody would go home. i know. chris: -how come i see everyone? everybody but... i'm the one you don't want to see. you don't wanna be dead. annie: -the kids were so young at that time. doc: what you want to remember is your kids. (children laughing) when they were still alive. i'm going too. -katie's not... katie's not going there to get better. sugar? and it's not gonna hurt and she'll fall asleep. you're going to kill my dog? -yes. she hurts very... very badly. and nothing can help her. i'm going to stop that because i love her. -you're killing my dog. you get angry. death does that. what'll happen to her? um... -she'll go where we all go. and how can that be bad? (children laughing) my leg! (both sighing) -ian: thanks font not listening to mom. about what? i don't know. just coming out here. -this whole day. because of grades and stuff. your mother and i talked. we always listen to each other. what'd you talk about? -about taking you out of head-royce. the school is wrong for you. minister: while this is a time... chris: -where are we now? doc: where we all want to stay. this is your funeral. (chuckling) -what am i on? you're real fuzzy. (minister chattering) at least you're willing to see yourself. you're losing your fear. -fear? thought you disappeared? you didn't. you only died. who lost her children just four years ago. -every day in the lord's prayer... celia. (chuckling) come on. whoa. (minister chattering) -(shushing) this one is a present for me. it's our double d-anniversary. kind of our special day. it's her version of our place. -your place? where we first met. i guess. live out our lives. be old farts together. -right there. that's our dream house. i guess. the blurry one is annie. doc. -(laughing) the funeral is over. why is this going on past the funeral? annie: dear diary -i'm writing in your bullshit pages because my shrink is crazier than me. he thinks you're therapy. if two babies can hammer me into a psycho ward what'll i do with this? he's so stupid. he thinks he pulled me through the breakdown when it was only christy. -always. only chris. jesus. i was looking through his postcards. paintings were his obsession. -to help me. to keep us always together. chris: annie. babe. -i still exist. you're thinking of me. keep thinking of me. with me. you were always with me. -the people who finished each other's sentences. remember us? i still exist. i still exist! i still exist. -just write it down. write it down. this is chris. (annie sighing) this is chris. -i still exist. read it. read it. (annie sobbing) when does it end? -chris. it ends when you want. where were you? someplace else. you think i'm a figment of your imagination? -it's real. she's real. you're real. it's all real. that's the point if there is one. -it's over when you stop wanting to hurt her. (annie sniffling) forever. baby. i'm not leaving you alone. -i'm not going anywhere. (screaming) (sobbing) babe. (sighing) -(birds chirping) (lnsects chittering) (chuckling) (dog barking) it's you! -you're young again! katie! katie. (laughing) katie. -hey!

(laughing) huh? -can't go on! who wants to be 63 throughout eternity? look at you on the water! hello! come on. -feel the beat! dancing on water! smooth as ever! and that was you when i died. because you called me "doc". -me being your favorite doc. chief. chris. come here. you are still kinda ugly. -chief. ice place you got here. no. nice place you got here. me? -you're making all this. so we need safety and comfort. chris. but you're the first guy i know to use real paint! there's so much here she didn't paint. -i may fall asleep right here. yes. well, we wouldn't want that to happen. (clears throat) so, one room, one bed, one big night. yes. -name? why? (stuttering) i mean, why do you need that? i just need a name to put in the computer. any name. -any name will do. oh, this is silly. you must go through this all the time. i'll just... i'll give you my real name. -it's don. don quixote. that's me. that's new. address? -one, four, one, four. de la mancha. so, senor quixote de la mancha. i'll just be needing your credit card. oh, did i catch you off guard, senor quixote? -credit card. mmm-hmm. card credito. darn. i've left mi casa without it. -eric! emergency! listen! i need your credit card. don't ask me why. -i just need it. okay, okay, but it might be maxed out. i just bought some gum. just give me the card! well, i... -room 702 for the former senor quixote and currently eric matthews. but i suppose a man of your ilk has many names. (laughing) thanks, chief. and now there are no more obstacles to cory matthews' big night. alan... -this is so romantic. we haven't spent the night at a hotel since our prom night. well, we may not get a chance to do something like this again for a long time. which i couldn't be happier about. (chuckles) -wait a minute. i got a great idea. you check in, then meet me in the lounge, and we'll pretend we don't know each other. i'll be shavaughn. ooh, you are bad! -(laughs) well, i'll see you later, shavaughn. quick, i need a room. in a hurry. oh, the voice of experience. -my wife and i are celebrating. we're having a baby. i'm going to be a father. which i couldn't be happier about! well, congratulations! -daddy... excuse me. excuse me. jack! jack! -my father just checked into a hotel room with a woman who is not his wife or my mother. you're crazy. your father's happily married. i just saw it with my own eyes! prom fever. -what? prom fever. it makes every man go crazy on prom night. we can't even remember our own proms 'cause we were so obsessed with what might happen after. i got to save these kids. -and i got to save my father. you are the best dancer. i mean, you could be a professional. all right, where do you think you're sneaking off to? the bathroom? -nice try. i wasn't born yesterday. now get back in there to the only prom you're ever going to have. i must say, jack, you're a much better chaperone than i thought you'd be. no one gets by. -attaboy. good soldier. (laughs) come on, come on, come on. yes! -it works! i did it! wait a minute. what am i forgetting? the girl. -may i have your attention, please? it's time to announce your prom king and queen.

(clearing throat) -perhaps my friend mr. washington will help change your mind? ooh! so... you want to see something i've always wanted to do? yeah. -so, what are you going to do? (exclaims) hi, there. hi, there. (exclaims) don't hurt me! -listen, do you think it's rushing it if i take off my jacket? because i won't take off my jacket if you think it's rushing. okay, okay. (groans) come here. -topanga, i'm stuck. i'm stuck. well, maybe if i unbutton this... wait, i'm pretty sure i'm supposed to see this part. (banging at door) -topanga, put it back. it's the vice squad! okay! don't do this! the tramp isn't worth it! -hey, topanga. hi, cory. good, you guys got here first. where's dad? eric, do you not see this? -wait a second. the guy said this was the matthews' room. it is. now get out! it's just you and topanga? -yes. alone in a hotel room? yes. on prom night? yes! -so... what you doin'? okay, that's enough. goodbye, eric. (exclaiming) -(banging at door) (exclaiming) excuse me! excuse me! not that mr. matthews. -the other mr. matthews, the cheating mr. matthews i used to be proud to call my daddy. what room is he in? what room is he in? what room is he in, huh? -i'm afraid mr. washington has received all the information that mr. washington is going to get. now, if mr. franklin were asking... ah. well. mr. franklin isn't here, but how about two mr. lincolns... -and a mystery bag? maybe it's good. maybe it's not. i love you. i love you. -i love you. i love you. cory? what? do you love me? -(knock at door) (grunts) i just came to tell you i won't be needing a ride home. this is jan from the hertz rent-a-car counter. she says i resemble her ex-husband murray. -(laughs) quick. let's get this over with before feeny gets here. you want to get this over with? oh, no, no, no! -i didn't mean it like that. i just mean... we don't need any more interruptions, you know? we've been waiting for everything to be exactly, perfectly right, and now it is, so... maybe we need to be more spontaneous. -not when we think we have to, like, one day on the way home from the library. what, do you want a book? here! here! here's a book! -(screams) i'm sorry. i'm sorry. and it's just starting to get dark, and you hold me because i'm cold. and we look into each other's eyes and we just know. -maybe that's when it happens. when? when? when? cory, i want to. -when? that's why we're here. when? i'll do whatever you think is right. when? -i'm just so confused. listen, you don't have to be confused, okay? we're adults now, and adults do not get confused. you're right. we're adults. -let's go. ow, my eye! my eye! ow! oh, god! -let me look at your eye... no, don't worry about it. i've got another eye. just do everything on my right side. no, no, no. -you need to get some ice. no! come on... ow! gosh! -cory, get some ice! i'm not going anywhere, and we have all night. (groans in frustration) (sighs) okay. oh, and bring back a couple of sodas. -i'll be right back, shavaughn. yes! honey, i'm back. (laughing) come on out. -don't be shy, shavaughn. let me see what's behind that door. (exclaims) (screams) yes! -honey? you like? (both screaming) (elevator bell dings) thought you can get away with it, didn't you? -how could you do this to my mother? uh, well, um... nobody planned this. i mean, it wasn't something we planned on. it just kind of happened, you know. -it was like one of those wonderful miracles that's happened to me three times before already. (exclaims in disgust) you don't even live in the house anymore! it's not like i'm asking you to give up your room. wait a second. -you're moving her into the house? i can't do this anymore. i got to know who's in there. come out! now! -topanga? oh, daddy! how could you do this to mom and cory? oh. i am so out of the loop. -wait a minute. what are you guys doing here? well... (laughing) we're celebrating! we were going to tell you tomorrow, but... we're having a baby! -you're having a baby? we're having a baby! they're having a baby! i'm going to be an uncle! so, you're having another kid? -yes, we are, and we're thrilled about it. is this something you planned? no, cory, it isn't, you know. it's like i told you before. sometimes things can happen in a minute that will change your life forever. -we're just lucky that for us, it came at a time when we can handle it. have a nice night, you two. wow. they trust us. boy, this is the biggest night of our lives, huh? -yeah. shall we? you know, i can't think of anything else i'd rather be doing right now. me neither. -(inaudible) # you must remember this # a kiss is still a kiss # a sigh is just a sigh # the fundamental things apply -# as time goes by # go! come on! nippy, isn't it? just a bit, yes. -you wearing thermals? no, i'm not wearing thermals. you ought to. "hello, boys" they're not, but they do the job. which one's yours? that one. -mmm, dishy. he's mine. the neanderthal one. oh, he's very... very... -neanderthal. but he's a sweetie. (whistle blowing) ah, all over. thank goodness. -absolutely. another five minutes and we'd have lost. well played, lads, well played. great game, wasn't it? terrific. -i'll see you in the bar. yeah, see you in the bar. harry! (steve ryder on tv) the england captain very satisfied, but, gavin hastings, that score line somewhat cruel... (hastings) cruel, but i think the last half an hour, all the pressure that was building the whole game took its toll. there's only so much defending... -i love rugby. (laughs) the match finished five minutes ago. i didn't mean that sort of rugby. more champagne or shall i explain to you what a maul is again? no, i think i got the hang already. -oi! except for the tickling. well, you're bigger than i am. right. where are you going? -to run a shower. it's a post-match tradition. they're good at rucking, good at upsetting the opposition... they just need to be able to control for longer periods... (jean) hello! oh, who won the rugby? -yes, it's just finished. what? (laughs) what? what do you mean, "it's just finished"? -you asked if i watched the rugby, i said, "it's just finished." i said, "who won the rugby?" oh. oh, we did. oh, who is we? -us, england. this sceptred isle set in a silver sea, all that. oh, good. well, don't get too excited. well, it's only a game. -i hate it when women say that. yes! yes! yes! is that better? -a bit excessive, isn't it? look, when we lost to france last season, for a month you wouldn't buy anything french from marks spencer's. that was different. that was france. who was it today, the isle of man? -italy, if you must know. thank goodness we won. we're having pasta tonight. sandy's watching harry play rugby this afternoon. yes, i know. -i think a police team has an unfair advantage. why? well... think of the impact as all those pointed helmets go down in the scrum. he's so nice. -i wish you'd stop making police jokes. i don't do it to his face. just as well. your road tax is out of date. (laughs) -very funny. do you want lasagne or cannelloni? yes, that's fine. which? which what? -cos really i don't mind. what don't you mind? if we have lasagne or cannelloni. why suddenly introduce lasagne into the conversation? i didn't suddenly introduce it. -i asked if you'd prefer lasagne or cannelloni, you said, "that's fine." you did hear what i said? of course i heard you. so why do you say, "yes, that's fine"? well, because... yes? -i have faith in your culinary skills. whatever you cook will be delicious. as opposed to not having heard what i said in the first place. yes. hmm. -what does "hmm" mean? i hope we don't lose to france this season. god forbid. (ryder) a verdict on england's performance... (# romantic classical music) i thought we'd eat in. -saves getting dressed, doesn't it? i love subtlety. so do i. what did you have in mind? erm, something to eat actually. as you wish. -oh, what is it about men? hey, modesty forbids. as a general rule, when a woman says she's hungry the man expects her to cook something. judy, i have never been the general rule. so, you're going to cook dinner? -i've sent out for something. there's a very decent local caff. you're right. you never have been the general rule. mm, thanks. -what were you just thinking about? mm? sandy. not that sort of thought. sandy's a mate. -no, i was just thinking that guy-wise she doesn't seem to have a lot of luck. what's her new one like? harry? he's nice. he's a policeman. -where does a girl go with a policeman? this afternoon she's gone to see him play rugby. no, i meant long term. since when have you ever thought long term? a guy gets older, judy... -even me. anyway, you shouldn't judge someone by what they do or where they live or how much money they've got. (doorbell rings) no, of course not. it doesn't hurt though, does it? -this will be dinner. enrico! meraviglioso! come stai? va bene. -enrico, a prince among caff owners. for you, signor deacon, it's always a pleasure. yeah. avanti, avanti. avanti. -some beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady. oh, thank you. no, it doesn't hurt. hello, i was just gonna make coffee. want some? -oh, yes, please. i've been to a rugby match. yes, i did. england won. hello, sandy. -oh, there you are. what are you doing down there? i'm looking for an eye. an eye? yes, that chap's. -there are only a few pieces left. there's no eye amongst them. i think jigsaw manufacturers leave one piece out deliberately just to drive you crackers. no, just a tick... there it is. -i thought that was a flower. no, look. oh, i need new glasses. pardon? the eye was there. -sandy found it. you said that was a flower. don't be so cocky, you agreed with me. (scoffs) no, not on the jigsaw! -i'm not gonna stand here holding it. just push... no, it'll break! it won't, not if we do it carefully. the trick is... -oh, oh! sandy! oh, i'm sorry. can i put this down now? if you'd just brought the mugs in the first place... -what? never mind. so, where did you and harry go this afternoon? i watched him play rugby. i told you. -when? when i came in. so you did, of course you did. who were they playing? i don't know. -another lot of policemen. did the referee make any arrests? lionel! sorry. i watched lionel play rugby once. -of course it was a square ball in those days. i don't even like rugby. nor did i, but you have to watch when your chap's playing. apparently. you must have had a nice meal after the match. -baked beans and sausages in the club bar. ooh! i could go that now. i'm not cooking it. neither am i. -it was just a thought. i don't think we've got any baked beans anyway. i mean, harry loves sport, i do know that. but it's all we do. either i watch him play sport or we watch somebody else play sport. -what, no sport of your own? unless you count stumbling around on an ice rink and getting a sore behind. it might be worth a look. we might have some somewhere. baked beans! -i'd hardly gone into any spicy details. had i? are there any spicy details? none. i sat with the girls, that's what they call us, while the chaps stood at the bar, sang rugby songs and did silly tricks with pints of beer. -oh, whatever happened to romance? it is still around. yes, i know. look at you and lionel. us? -yes. lionel's still very romantic at heart. he still says romantic things. typical. we did have some baked beans after all, but there isn't a sausage in the house! -(jean and sandy laugh) well, what... what's funny? we were just saying romance isn't dead. who's dead? (shouts) no, nobody's dead! -we're just saying romance isn't dead! there's no need to shout. i'm not deaf! there you go, sir. thank you very much. -bye-bye. bye. (man) thinking of buying? they're really very good. very good indeed. -mine's developed a high-pitched whistle but i'm sure they'll sort it out. li? yes. going deaf? yes. -li? no, beethoven. i'm sorry, just that it's a major thing to take in. i mean, li is my main man, my best mate. he might not accept the term, but he is. -you are sure? yes, it's been going on for weeks now. lots of "pardons?" and "what's?", all irritable and if you're over ten feet away he can't hear you at all. has my lovely lady jean noticed anything? you can't miss it, but she hasn't said anything to him. -somebody's got to say something. yeah... like his best mate? it's a horrible expression, isn't it? "losing one's faculties." -i didn't say that. i know. it's just a horrible expression. i just wish that lionel would own up. if he doesn't, we're all going to have to start talking very loudly, aren't we? -lionel's very fond of you, sandy. ah, and i'm very... oh, no! no, no! he really is very fond of you. -he won't be if i tell him, will he? he's very fond of judy too. yes, but he loves you. i know, but what do i say? use your diplomatic skills. -what skills? those that come with age... maturity. and wisdom. mine haven't arrived yet. -nemesis! you'll stay? have i ever let you down? no. there's always a first time. -sandy! hello, lionel. what's the hurry? cowardice. did she say cowardice? -yes. what's she talking about? cowardice, i suppose. (lionel) why? just making conversation. -i don't know why i bother asking questions in this house sometimes. oh, i got some sausages. that's nice. you haven't looked at them yet. no, i said, "that's nice." -oh. lionel, i think you're getting a bit deaf. pardon? shall we sit down? yes, all right. -he makes them himself. who does? the butcher, the sausages. oh. erm... -have you got something to say to me? yes, i have. go on, then. the thing is, that eye, i really did think it was a flower. -(loudly) i think i might need a stronger prescription for my glasses. oh, i see. i mean, it's common sense. there's no shame attached. of course not. -no. opticians are there, aren't they? they make glasses. well, i don't know that they make them, but they prescribe lenses for frames made by somebody else, and if there is a deterioration in one's eyesight, then they prescribe different lenses. there's nothing wrong in that. -no, it's a flawless description of an optician's job. there's nothing wrong in my wanting to go to an optician. of course not. i'm facing up to the facts. (doorbell rings) -that's the doorbell. i'll get it. i haven't finished. let me take in the first bit first. (doorbell ringing) -what happened to patience? hello. hi, li! sorry. i forgot my key. -that's all right. hello, alistair. li, could we have a word? yes, if we must. come through. -is mum in the kitchen? sit down, alistair. (mouths) thanks. well? -this word? oh. right. first of all, li, i love you. i do wish you wouldn't say things like that. -(loudly) ok, but it's said and it was meant. is there something wrong with your mouth? no. why? because when you talk, your jaw wobbles, and you're shouting as well. -am i? mmm. sorry. is that better? yes, that's fine. -but we are sitting quite close together. as long as we don't sit unnaturally close, i don't mind. ok. good. right, here goes. -li, i am aware of a problem. you've noticed then? i can't say i have because i haven't been around too much lately, but judy has and she tells me that sandy has too. she's worried about her eyes. who, sandy? -no, jean! is she? you said you were aware of a problem. i know i did. well, that is the problem! -jean is worried about her eyesight. did you hear what i said? yes. it only struck me this morning. she's worried about her eyesight. -i mean, she says a "slight" change in prescription, but i'm sure she's worried that it's more serious than that. li, i'm so sorry. thank you, but let's not get it out of proportion. i love jean dearly, but she is a worrier, and the chances are that a slight change in prescription is all she needs. let's hope so. -excuse me. who are you phoning? a guy i know. hi, guy. hi, who's that? -it's alistair. comment ça va? ah, tres bien. listen, guy, i know it's sunday but i wonder if you could do me a little favour. this is very noble of alistair. -lionel's not going to kill him, is he? it's gone very quiet. perhaps he's done it already. he will break it gently, won't he? of course he will. -you know alistair's really a very caring person. how did you get on? i might not tell you, running off like that. oh, go on and i'll finish off the ironing. well, there's actually nothing to tell. -i was getting round to it and alistair arrived, thank goodness. that only postpones the inevitable. no, he's breaking the news to lionel. brave man. shh! -jean, might we have a word with you, please? you don't have to go. no, li. we've had our guy-to-guy thing. now it's a guy-to-girl thing. -when you've wagged chins, come across the road, i'll buy you a half. ciao! i'll see you later. how did it go? well, he thought it was a personal matter, i suppose. -no, i said, "how did it go?" oh, very well indeed. oh, good. and you're all right? yes, i'm fine. -why didn't you tell me? i was trying to lead up to it. yes, i realise that, but all that babble in the kitchen about eye tests and lenses. it's a difficult subject to broach. yes, i suppose it is. -despite the babble, i realised what you were talking about as i let alistair in. i'm glad you talked it over with him. he can listen when he wants to. there's no shame in any of this. no! -i don't know why you keep using the word. the important thing is, what's the next step? it's been taken. oh? that's another thing about alistair, he always knows the right people. -anyway, he's arranged an appointment for tomorrow morning with one of the top men in the field. oh, that is a relief. (both) an appointment which has to be kept. absolutely. i think we can both draw a lesson from this. -if something like this comes up again, we can save ourselves a lot of worry if we just come straight to the point and don't go round the houses. it would certainly make life simpler. it certainly would. i think i'll pop over and have that swift half with alistair now. off you go, then. -lionel? mm? i'm only going to the pub. i'm just proud of you, that's all. you wouldn't expect me to do nothing? -no. don't worry, alistair assures me that this guy... man, is one of the top eye specialists in the land. you couldn't be in better hands. how did it go? i think you could say, "not exactly as planned." -lionel hasn't backed out of having his ears tested? no, he's arranged for me to have my eyes tested. you know, something just occurred to me. what's that? when you came in with judy, you said you wanted a word with me, then i introduced the subject of jean's eyesight and we talked about that. -what i'm saying is that you never got around to having your word. ah. no one else has brought the subject up then? why do i find myself becoming suspicious? not angry? -i don't know yet. come on, spit it out. what is it you want to say to me? judy and i had a little talk this morning. oh? -where did you go? no, not a little walk... a little talk. and? li, judy is worried you might be getting a bit deaf. what? -i said... i heard what you said! i've never heard so much nonsense in all my life! next saturday will be better, with the club dance after the match. assuming the chaps dance with the girls and not each other. -(phone) oh! (ringing stops) oh. judy must have taken it. -we had a rugby club dance once, i think it was called a ball in those days. lionel wouldn't take me. that was mean. no, he was being protective. why would he need to be protective about a rugby club dance? -well, he said they tended to get a bit boisterous. that doesn't bode well, does it? i expect things have changed. really? i think we might be needing this. -that was alistair on the phone. he finally got around to telling lionel. and he's just stormed out of the pub. oh! look, come on, he's not violent, is he? -not so far, no. look, you two go. no point three of us getting bashed up. no, we'll stay. have you never heard of girl power? -in our days it was called flirting. (door slams) he doesn't sound in a very flirty mood. hello, lionel. d'you know what that fool in the pub told me? -(all) no. you do! you're all in on it, aren't you? let me tell you. i am not a boy! -nobody said... may i finish? and because i am not a boy, my knees crack if i stand up too quickly, i have been known to doze off in front of the television and, believe it or not, i admit to missing the odd word in a conversation. but i am not ready for an ear trumpet yet! -have you finished? for the moment, yes. firstly, no one mentioned an ear trumpet. secondly, you are not missing the odd word, you are missing more and more words all the time. rubbish! -no, mum's right, lionel. when i asked you if mum was in the kitchen you didn't even answer. that's because i didn't know. what about when i came in last night? i said, "i've been to a rugby match" and you said, "i did. -england won." well, they did. oh, really! look, before we start "oh, really-ing," consider this. i think that all three of you have got unnaturally soft voices. -(laughs) for god's sake. yes, you have. it's a wonder i hear anything at all with you whispering all the time! oh, really! -you're doing it again. well, really! how about when you're watching telly? you have the sound up full blast. it's the bbc's fault. -the sound level's never the same between programmes. (jean) stop making silly excuses and face up to facts. you make it sound like an accusation. we all care about you and we want to help. you can't turn a blind eye to your hearing. -is that a mixed metaphor? i know what it is. you know and i know. consider this. (groans) -consider this. if i'm supposed to be getting deaf, why, despite your soft voices, have i heard every word that you've said? it could because not one of us is more than four feet away! exactly! judy, stand over there. -sandy, stand over here! oh, really! don't you start. now judy, say something. say what? -i don't know, anything! (whispers) i think it might rain this afternoon. all right, i didn't hear it. nor did i. this afternoon? -i think it might rain this afternoon. normally. i didn't ask you to whisper. i think it might rain... no, you already said that! -get sandy to say something. erm... why do rugby club dances get boisterous? well? something about oysters? boisterous! -she whispered as well! i did not. i heard every word she said. oysters! oh, very well, then. -you sit there. just sit down there! all right, all right. now, no glasses. now, what card am i holding up? -i don't know, it's facing you. sorry. right, go on then. er... the eight of... right! -this one! queen of hearts. wrong! the king of hearts. but she did get the right suit. -right. which is clearer, the black or the red? oh, this is absurd! of course it's absurd. you don't test hearing by whispering in a corner any more than you test someone's eyesight by waving playing cards! -which is why, although i didn't volunteer for it, i shall keep my appointment with the eye specialist in the morning. now come on, lionel, see sense. i'm not having an ear trumpet! no, really, love, it's fine. -it's just a minor alteration to the prescription. (judy) where's lionel? lionel? no, he's still out. if he didn't get his hearing tested i shall really shout at him when he gets home. -that's right, yes. whispering at him would be better. well, i'll see you and sandy tonight. right, bye. (door slams) -oh! hello. hello. why are you chopping one carrot? well, i just thought i would. -oh. how did it go? oh! how did it go for you? fine, apart from paying his fee. -just a minor alteration to the prescription. otherwise, my eyesight's fine. good. so is my hearing. you did have your ears tested? -yes. there was a small problem, but it's fixed. oh, thank goodness. it's remarkable, isn't it? you can't see it at all. -see what? your hearing aid. i'm not wearing a hearing aid. what was the small problem? wax. -a build-up of wax in the ears. i had it syringed, now everything's fine. did it hurt? no. a bit like having a head full of water, but it worked, that's all that matters. -i was worried. yes, i know. i'm sorry i wasn't my usual grown-up self about it. was there a lot of wax? quite a lot. -they gave it to me as a souvenir. ugghh! oh! oh! and i got some more of those nice sausages as well. -they're in here. oh! oh, li... oh, lionel! # you must remember this -# a kiss is still a kiss # a sigh is just a sigh # the fundamental things apply # as time goes by # and when two lovers woo -# they still say i love you # on that you can rely # the world will always welcome lovers # as time goes by # saber marionette j to x -small fragments pile up deep within my soul. like gathering up the scattered pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. you can never deny your true feelings... as you have shown me through your smile. you can feel the pain of others in your soul... -connected by the circuit that gives you courage. you have the strength to believe in tomorrow... and your limited time will not go to waste. good-bye. otaru! -never forget me! never forget the time that we spent together! what? ! was that a dream? -good morning! civilization all over the place what do you think of this jacket? wow! it's so cool! -where'd you get it? ! the sanja fair's coming up, right? so i made this especially for that. neat, huh? -master otaru's certainly in a good mood. well, of course! i'm the organizer of this year's fair! i've always wanted to do this since i was a kid. the roaring drums, the floats ramming into each another... the heat and sweat it's a magical time for a japoness kid. -um... um... um, i have a question. what does an organizer do? the organizer arranges the fair and takes responsibility for the events. -he's like the most important person at the fair. most important person...? wow! that's great, otaru! ah, well, yeah, you see... -no! i wasn't supposed to sleep in! huh? where's otaru? otaru! -who did this to my adorable otaru? ! it's, ah... nothing. really. hey, otaru! -i'm so relieved! just a minute! let go of master otaru! you muscle lady! what did you say? -! bloodberry, what's the problem anyway? oh, no! i'm late on my first day at work! how about breakfast, bloodberry? -i don't have time to eat. gotta go! don't you have to go, lime? isn't this your first day as well? oh, i forgot! -wait right there. here. thank you, cherry! you're a delivery person. good luck. -thanks! i'll see you later! seems everyone's getting some decent jobs. yes, but if it's like this every morning there'll be so much to clean up. oh, please... -i just live next door. don't hesitate to ask for my help. hanagata... you hesitate! mitsuru hanagata's first appearance and first flight in the new series! -damn it. i don't know what this "civilization" business is all about. what's so great about this warehouse-like building with no tiles? right, bloodberry? you think so, chief? -i don't think it's that bad. hey, bloodberry! would you mind taking this to the top? no problem! it's your first job. -do your best. leave it to me! geez! that is one impressive marionette. harutaya store -okay, lime. please take this to the naniwaya at sakaicho right away. lime courier, on my way! lime, you seem to always be in good spirits. that's because i am always in good spirits. -i wish our kiku... i wish our kiku would show us a smile like yours. well, she's a marionette without a maiden circuit, so it can't be helped. sir! you shouldn't be saying things like that! -kiku's doing the best she can! you're right. i must apologize for what i said. sorry, kiku. please forgive me. -she said she'll forgive you. i don't know what i'd do without you. see ya! all right. i'm counting on you! -hao! temperature now! green tea tastes the best at this temperature. what's that? -! foreign culture in our traditional fair? ! the railroad to xian is open now. we have to go along with the new civilization. -we can't just continue with the same old fair. we take the good things from foreign cultures and make it the best fair ever. let's use this fair to show the world a new japoness! i'm against it. why? -the sanja fair is a traditional event of japoness. we shouldn't be adding bits of foreign culture to it. what are you talking about, otaru? times are changing. but still...! -he has a point! mambo! what the hell are you doing here, hanagata? that's right! in today's world, foreign culture is very trendy! -now, join me for a merry, happy, sanja fair! cherry... well, i wonder how far i'll be flying this time. hanagata department store the last place on earth i wanted to end up in! -no! no...! master mitsurugi? it's not what you think! i was just passing by! -please don't tell daddy that i was here! this! this is that special item i've been searching for! with this, i will be reborn as neo-mitsurugi hanagata! can i have this? -no. i'm back! huh? what's the matter? you keep telling me to make it new but what's wrong with the fairs we've had in the past? -japoness has a culture unique to japoness. otaru, you're behind the times! what? hey, wait... right... -in any case, we should keep it the same. i'm against changing it. otaru! master otaru! otaru! -i've finally become an organizer, yet... otaru, you're behind the times! so, i hear you had a fight, otaru. i heard what happened. mr. gennai. -i don't expect that this small town can ever put on a very extravagant show. but for that one day, the adults and the children get excited all the same. it's small, but it's warm. that's the kind of fair i've always loved. that's why... -that's why i don't want to change it. there are things that shouldn't be changed. but otaru it wouldn't hurt to change some things. if we decide simply to not change, humanity will not progress. but those guys... -everyone looked so down when they left. that guy who said you were "behind the times" asked me to apologize for him. master otaru. maybe change cannot be stopped. there are times when things should be discarded or forgotten to make room for the birth of new things. -and we choose what is best out of the new things. isn't that what they meant when they said that "times are changing"? times are changing... cheer up, otaru. i won't change. -no matter what changes around us, i will always be myself! lime... how about that! the marionettes are teaching you a lesson. those three are way ahead of you this time, otaru. -i'm not ahead at all! because i'm not going to change! i guess you're right. it's not like we're going to lose everything. if we can put on a fair that can only get better why, that can't be bad. -otaru! master otaru! sorry about yesterday. well, we're sorry as well. i'm sorry for saying you were behind the times. -well, we gave it some more thought and decided to hold the fair exactly like before. no, let's change it. i don't suggest changing everything at once but if we changed it gradually, and the fair gets better that would be a great thing. otaru! master otaru! -okay, then let's start with the tower! let's just get started right away! perfect! i'm back! oh, hao, kiku! -good afternoon, lime. hi, lime. i received payment from naniwaya. thank you. huh? -what are you reading? a bulletin. they're talking about discontinuing the manufacture of marionettes at this year's terra 2 international conference. discontinuing manufacture? what does that mean? -they say that we should change the times and become less dependent on the labor of marionettes. also, we're close to reviving human females. we have you girls to thank for this. thank you. no more marionettes... -discontinuing the manufacture of marionettes. there are times when things get discarded or forgotten to make room for the birth of new things. that's what they mean by "times are changing ". what does it mean when times are changing? lime! -hanagata department store my clothes are all too small. too small? look. come to think of it, you've grown, yume. -that's right. i'm going to catch up to you in no time, lime! master yumeji. sorry to keep you waiting. how do you like this?

you don't know what you say. omar is arab, and he isn't last. if you're last, it's because you're a lazy, that's all. anyhow, you are racist. -that's enough! i hate to do this, but... if you say another word, i expel you immediately. i don't care! and my parents don't care either. i guess your parents don't care about family allowances either? -that's enough, take a sheet and get to work! go away! so! so what? you're not an arab, are you? -yes, i am an arab. you're not an arab, i tell you! of course i'm an arab. i tell you that you're not like us! the teacher is a dirty racist. -so if you were a true arab, you should be last of the class too. you agree?

-it's about school, right? you're scared for the tests? i don't care about school either. what did you say there? let me go! -never say you don't care about school! anyway i say what i want! and why should i be the best at school? i didn't ask for it! and anyway, why wouldn't it be you? -i never understood anything. i sometimes don't understand anything either. yes, but for you it's not the same. why isn't it the same for me? i don't know. -maybe you're smarter. and furthermore i was born in algeria. it's not the same. maybe i don't remember much. but there are things you can't forget. -when you opened your eyes, there was always the sun and the desert around. when we went to france, it was like a dream. a magic word "france". and i've always hated this damn country. with this fucking mud everywhere all the time. -for you it's different. you're at home here, you're french. no, it's not true. i'm also an arab. of course you're an arab. -it's not what i mean. you're a french arab. french like the french in your class. but the only difference is that you are poor, and in addition, they can call you "dirty wog." this is why you need to be the best at school, and have a job like the french and a lot of money. -a "wog" who has a lot of money is no longer a "wog". he's a gentleman, that's all. that's dad's dream. this is why he is so proud of you. daddy loves you too. -i know. but i'll never have a better job than him. and that makes him unhappy. do you understand? it doesn't matter. -be good at school. it's essential. you'll understand the rest later. come on. we have to go home. -did you pass your tests? i don't know.... i think so. don't worry. i'm sure you passed them. -i'll be modest because i realize what's missing to make me perfect, everything that i don't know. i'll start with returning your tests and rankings. after that we'll finish the geography lesson we started last time. first... first, selim bouchaoui. -shared first with nasser bouaffia. 3rd, kamel benabdérak. benabdérézak, sir. 4th, assen kitab. 5th, claude saurat. -6th... before last, omar kitab. very good, omar. the picture is for all your efforts. go on like this. -thank you teacher. tomorrow you sit next to francis. francis rondet, the good last one. excellent work, as usual. i've never had a picture like this. -what do you intend to do to me?

"my father has a small country of his family. i know. a few weeks later, toward the new dream of the residents of chaâba. -dad... i'm going! yeah, go ahead! a dream made of words as magical as strange. taps that provide hot water as soon as they are turned on. -central heating. electricity. and many other things. wait for me, hacène! i'll be back. -look! go play somewhere else! how will i close my trunk? look! please, take it! -we'll say it is for both of us. ok? ok. we're friends. come on, get in! -hacène, hurry up! faster! dumb-ass! when the taxi disappeared at the end of the road, carrying hacène with it, i didn't cry, and didn't eat for two days either. -my father and farid managed to be elsewhere, and my mother didn't want to go out of the house. but when i got home, i saw her crying. let go! let go! -and then sélim and nasser, in their turn, left. come on, get in! next night, yasmine, the prisoner of chaâba disappeared, taken away by her father. it was farid who told me. -he too, speaks only about leaving. he says: "without love, it becomes too difficult, the chaâba and everything" that "without love, you can't fight." so he doesn't come to school anymore. -he spends his time hanging out, i don't know where. "now it's the summer holidays. "i spend my days writing and reading. "i try to forget that hacène, my friend, "is no longer here, -"and i miss him terribly. finally, they have all gone, one after the other, day after day. we're alone now, abandoned in the rubble of chaâba. i tried to find the right words... to explain my father that it all was over, and that for us too it was time to leave. i wanna move! -i wanna move. i wanna move. ah, you want to move! no, no. stop daddy, i don't want to move anymore, i swear! -well, we're going to move anyway! yeah, i want to move. i wanna get out of this rotten shack! don't cry. we're leaving. -it's over. i wanna move! soon we'll leave. tomorrow, god willing. no, it's not true, you're lying. -i wanna move now. she was only lying about the date. we moved three days later, august 5, 1966. it hurts me too to leave this place, even if i'm glad to finally discover the world. -now i'm not afraid anymore. it's the children who are afraid and my childhood: i left it behind me in the ruins of the chaâba. today i look at these big buildings all around me, and i know we're still locked away from the world, and the world continues to move away from us, day after day, like in the chaâba. but i'm not afraid. -i'm going to work, read and write. and when i'm tired of being here, when it will be too hard, i'll close my eyes and i'll start running towards the stars. and i'll go so fast, so much faster than the world, that nobody can ever catch me anymore. and then, only then, -i'll stop. in real life omar is called azouz begag. this film is made after his autobiographic novel "le gone du chaâba". today azouz begag is a researcher at c.n.r.s. and a writer. -subtitles by didgilmar and subransu i like a fresh bowl. i understand. are you enjoying yourself so far? i am, actually. -it's a nice group. john. can i ask you something? sure. are you drawn to me? -why would you ask that? women have intuition about these things. plus, richard told me. i have certain rules about dating men i work with. but i make them up as i go along. -it's official. i hate her. did you tell nelle porter i was drawn to her? yes. sorry. -bygones. unacceptable! what i tell you, i have an expectation of privacy. i' m sorry. bygones squared. -no! you know harold wick, shock jock of the airways? he's vulgar. we're suing him. nelle's client. -hot copy. we've a chance to boost our profile and erode the first amendment. it's a case where principle coincides with profit. i'm not taking time out just because i breached your trust. we' re late for a staff meeting. -off we go. they eat horses, don't they? wait. this woman-- her name is ling. -ling. she's the plant manager. yes. suing wick, the guy on the radio? yes. -does he have anything to do with this manufacturing plant? no. then how--? what am i missing? he contributes to sexually charged working environments. -especially plants, dominated by male workers with the lq of meat. we' re suing a radio announcer for contributing to sexual harassment... ...at a steel plant? exactly. i' m sorry. -i' m sure you' re a good attorney but as a cause of action, that's ridiculous. great. it's fun giving a cute guy a giggle as i do my business. i could use another body on this. could you jump in? -no! you have that motion to compel on roberts. ally will do it. what? john's in trial. -georgia's second chair. we all have work, let's go. i'll get you the file. fine. i'm looking for nelle porter. -can you help me? her office is-- she wasn't in, thus my need for help. have i come to the wrong person? you would be her closest friend? -i'm a client. ling. nelle. i'm very anxious. we'll get through it. -but facing him! why did you switch firms? i dislike change. it'll be fine. i'm very anxious. -i have to say-- it's just a deposition. relax. maybe it's just too much newness. it was our anniversary, so i took her to a french restaurant. -we ordered the chef's menu. chef's menu? it's a set thing. vichy cold soup, foie gras.... stuff you'd never order. -do they tell you what you' re eating? it's more tasty in french, so we didn't ask. a french fry is good, but a pomme frite.... we didn't ask them. but later you did press them. -on the meat. it was so good. i had to know the cut. and they told me. what was it? -horse. as in t rigger. as in secretariat. they served me and my wife mr. ed. what happened when they told you? -i became nauseous. as did my wife. were there any other consequences for you and your wife? we suffered from insomnia and depression. we' re animal lovers, horse lovers in particular. -the idea that we ate one, it repulsed us. it still does. i apologize. one of my props went awry. i am so sorry. -that's all right. you're harold wick. i'm elaine vassal. i'm a huge fan. though i should say it quietly since my office is suing you. -i see. we're here for the deposition. it'll be in the conference room. may i just say, on your show you talk about women as if they're all cheap. my entire life, i've been cheap. -when i listened to your show, i realized i wasn't alone in the world. i'm happy to have helped. you like horses? very much. found them delicious? -i wouldn't eat them. it's perverse. you eat cows? that's different. pigs? -yes, but-- roasted cornish game hens? i'm not a vegetarian or against meat. but a horse is a noble beast. ever go to the track? -i have. ever scream at a jockey to whip the noble beast? objection. i won't get into a cruelty debate. we could treat dogs better than we do, but we'd never eat them. -it should be the same for horses. some people might like horsemeat. isn't it the individual's choice? couldn't you just say "neigh"? that's real funny. -the point is, they didn't tell me. if they had.... you would have ordered the cow. you are aware of the male demographic makeup of your audience? i don't think in graphic terms. -well, sometimes. i suggest you answer the questions, mr. wick. i thought i did. by the way, you didn't tell me your name. i think i did. -right. you're nelle. i like that. sounds kind of naughty. and you're ling. -and who's the spinner? hey! harold. do you think this is a game? of course it's a game! -just because you're a hot foreigner and hire two nubile lawyers you think i'm gonna give you my money? well, okay. what are you, chinese? harold. mr. wick. -they're lucky i took some viagra. you're even more vile in person. ling. i'm sure you're a nice person-- you won't intimidate us, mr. wick. -i know that. i can't even look at you without seeing a whip. and you, i can't get a beat on. i just know i'd like to take you home and make you my nasty little whore. we're giving him what he wants by suing him. -this guy loves publicity. we're doing what ling wants. we're not gonna win this. don't be so sure. nelle, what is a spinner? -i think it means perky personality. where is she? i'm not comfortable around new people. she'll be here. when you resort to these sexual harassment lawsuits do you worry about coming off as a weak, vindictive, powerless imp? -it runs so contrary to your personality which seems vicious. just making conversation till nelle gets here. if you knew what people say about me. i bet i could guess. hey, sorry i' m late. -what did i miss? we' re just chewing the baby fat. i don't like your firm. the lawyers are crazy, and the singer bugs me. come on. -let's go back up to the office. john? ally, hi. what was that? what? -oh, that. it's a demonstrative aid for my trial. his name's frawley. i used to make cut-out dolls of bullies at school. frawley would kick them. -he's a good horse. this case is upsetting you. i've always thought we enjoy a special covenant with the horse. " carry us high as we ride into battle, and we won't eat you. " should georgia first chair? -no, i would've been fine. but the plaintiff brought up mr. ed. frawley and i used to watch that show-- why am i telling you? because you can. with me, it's the only time that you' re not the strangest person, so get weird on me. -i' m cross-examining this guy. and in my head, i'm thinking what if wilbur went into the barn one thanksgiving and said, "we have no turkey, ed. i'm sorry. " today it could happen. oh, yeah. -november, sweeps. do you remember the song? excuse me? a horse is a horse of course of course and no one can talk to a horse of course -that is of course unless the horse is the famous mr. ed go right to the source and ask the horse he 'll give you the answer that you endorse he always sets a steady course talk to mr. ed -i am mr. ed why does she sue you? why does she sue me? listen up, america! anyone today with enough money to afford a lawyer can buy some fame. -i bet she 'll get it. especially since she has that slutty little asian thing going. american men love that. don 't we, guys? listen, numbnuts. -listen up, america-- i must say, he's a little bit right. that american men like slutty asian women? she'll probably end up on the cover of time. it'll sell better than some doctor curing cancer. -you should see the way she dresses. who? ling. it's like, " look at my body now! " "just don't talk about it. " -yes. the men at the courthouse clerks, lawyers and some judges, they talk about your short skirts. they do? isn't that why you wear them? no! -i wish they talked about my legs. they do, don't they? oh, yeah. it's low fat and high protein. it's better for you than angus beef. -but, mr. handy, a horse? you know what? in hindu, they'd have something to say about us eating cows. but this is the u.s.a. there're many slaughterhouses here with horsemeat. -in japan, they eat them raw, like sashimi. our equestrian friends don't deserve better than to be offered-- of course they do. so does the pig. you sound annoyed. -this animal is revered in our country. what if elizabeth t aylor ate her horse in national velvet? are you sure she didn't? it would be a mistake to insult elizabeth t aylor in my courtroom. i' m sorry, your honor, but i' m on trial here. -i' m using my money to defend against a suit based on hypocrisy. that man isn't sick. there's no injury. we're here because of a notion that it's unconscionable to eat a horse. and to you, it's just perfectly okay? -we kill them for pet food or paint thinner. what's that do for their nobility? for pet food or paint thinner, they can be euthanized. but for human consumption, it has to be drug free. which means slaughter. -if cruelty is the issue, that brings us back to the cow and the pig. you don't seem to be too sympathetic on this at all. if people don't want to eat it, they shouldn't order it. but i shouldn't be hauled into a courtroom for serving it. it's preposterous. -forget free speech and censorship. the idea that a radio personality can be sued for sexual harassment by someone he's never met-- i must say, ms. porter, your client does not work for harold wick. this man has no connection with the steel plant. how does he contribute to any discrimination that goes on there? -t obacco companies had no duty to people who didn't use their products. until it was determined that non-smokers were also being hurt. our theory is the same as secondhand smoke. his material is finding its way into the workplace. secondhand smoke? -we go after car companies for polluting the air. this man is syndicated on over 300 stations. he talks daily about women's body parts saying god made females to be sex slaves. we call it free speech. the courts clamp down on it when it causes oppression and discrimination. -this stretches the scope of sexual harassment to absurdity. i' m not so sure. you can sue an employer for playing mr. wick's broadcasts at work. it's not a question. we're saying in our complaint: -even though these broadcasts aren't played at my client's steel plant this man is so pervasive and popular what he says comes in just the same. so the court should legislate the content of radio programs? nope. he should be able to say whatever he wants. but if it results in discrimination or a hostile work environment, he should be held accountable. -how would you prove that what he says on the radio affects what the men think and say at that plant? maybe i couldn't. but that's a question for the jury. not the judge. what's wrong? -nelle. don't tell me she's good. she's great. she's poised. she doesn't pull at her hair. -nothing comes out of her mouth that she doesn't want. she doesn't over gesticulate. she made an implausible cause seem totally believable. that bitch. the judge didn't throw it out? -he took it under advisement. we might even win. oh, ally, i'm so sorry. harold! harold! -how do you think it went in there today? well, listen, truth be told, i don 't really know what was said in there. the other attorney did most of the talking and she was just so yummy. all i wanted to do was bite her. part of me wants to sleep with him. -because i know if i did, i'd kill him. ouch! where's nelle? she says she'll meet me, i always get stuck with you. t errible, i know. -what's that on your neck? oh. chinese wattle. ouch. bygones. -you're a man without any nice qualities. with a funny name: fish. sticks and stones, ling. you know what i first thought of you? -what? nothing. you made no impression at all. when this case is over, i promise i'll take my business elsewhere. no, you won't. -i can tell. what are you doing? i'm just working on my closing. it's a first draft, and i get a better feel with bare feet. have you ever had horsemeat? -thanks, but i've already had dinner. maybe another time. fine. i' m free thursday night. thursday. -that would be good. good. ready? still working on your first draft? i may need you to close. -i haven't questioned a witness. the jury doesn't know me. you've been in court. you can't drop this in the last second-- i can't do this. -i'm not invested. wait a second. you've defended criminals. murderers, even. you can't defend a restaurant that serves horsemeat? -i know it sounds silly. but it is as if i hear voices. and they' re telling me not to do this. what kind of voices? i would rather not say. -the law is completely on your side. it would be conspicuous for you not to get up. it could even be malpractice. come on. we gotta go. -is it frawley? excuse me? is frawley telling you not to do it? frawley's not even speaking to me. then who? -what voices? i' m afraid if i tell you, i would be again "strangest one in the room. " here she is. ally, i have nelle and vicious ling. they say the judge is coming back with a ruling. -all rise. nice turn out. be seated. it's heartening to see people take such an interest in our constitution. the sexual harassment claim is dismissed. -i find it untenable that a radio talk show host could be held liable for employmental discrimination at a place where he doesn't work. however, the complaint also alleges negligent infliction of emotional distress. that one is tricky. free speech is not always protected. if it is foreseeable that some product you put out there is capable of causing harm iiability is close by. -lawsuits have been brought against hollywood movies. the talk show.... it's likely next. this is the most slippery of slopes-- no question. -and a jury is free to say we value free speech over the possible harm it causes. but let's face it. mr. wick isn't throwing out ideas and political content. for the most part, it's gratuitous, titillating radio sex talk aimed for the young at mind. it demeans women systemically. -i know that nine out of 1 0 judges might dismiss this claim. unfortunately, mr. wick, you got me. motion to dismiss, denied. oh, my god. thank you, ally. -i didn't do anything. you did. you dressed up, baiting him into calling you a spinner. it worked. genius! -i'm glad to do my part. the ruling sent shock waves through all media circles. what kind of precedent does this set? is rush limbaugh next? keep in mind that this is just one state court ruling and it'll be appealed. -anyone suing rush limbaugh would be hard pressed to prove that people.... say the name. cage and fish. reporting live from outside... ... the law offices of cage and fish. -y es! good report! ling, congratulations. i don't have the words. yes. -so, what do we do now? we dismiss. what? we wanted to get him. we get him best by getting out ahead. -i want money! me too. they'll never settle. they can't. and on appeal, we'll lose. -our case is an end around the first amendment. why give up? our goal was to get even. in victory, we have credibility. now we make the first amendment our best friend in life. -what are you talking about? i need to draft a statement. don't leave me alone with him. alone again. you and me. -you probably feel special. ling, anyone with you is alone. decent people don't eat horses. you can talk about the cows and the pigs and the hypocrisy. why should horses be different? -but they are different. they are companion animals, and they are different. if you ever stood up close to a horse, it's a proud animal. it's an animal seemingly with a capacity for integrity. with a capacity for not only serving mankind, but oddly wanting to. -and there's a dignity about them. a dignity. we should at least honor that in the end. this case isn't about horses, it's about people. this person here is suing this person over here. -it's people. and people eat animals. the constitution doesn't start off, "we the horses.... " animals don't get rights. we're not expected to rise to some level of decency when it comes to livestock. -we' re not expected to have feelings for them and why should we? they taste good. this thing about decency, you have to stop it. because next, they'll go after the hamburger. if you attack horsemeat on grounds of decency i promise you the hamburger will be next. -it's unavoidable. if you've ever been in a slaughterhouse and seen what happens to cows you'd know that "decency" would spell the end of an american institution. the sausage would be next, and then the chicken wing. "we the people" eat animals, and we're not decent about it. my client, he's human. -he's also american. in this country, we have another credo which is innate to us all. as long as folks keep consuming it, don't blame the guy who serves it up. plaintiff's counsel says we should allow the horse to keep his dignity in the end. we're human beings. -this is glue. we're grateful to the court for the validation and to the public for its support. i've decided to dismiss this claim. you'll have to forgive me for not going into detail. it appears that certain physical or psychological dysfunctions may be the root of mr. wick's compulsion to fixate on sexual content. -i feel it would be wrong for me to exploit any of his medical inadequacies or conditions. in light of this new information i bear no ill will towards mr. wick. and i wish him well. that's all. the suit has been dismissed. -is he impotent? is that it? i'm not going to parse the statement. using the dirtiest pool, you look like you took the high road. it's a treat to watch you. -that was worthy of an earthworm. thanks. but we don't know that he's impotent. so? so. -what if he sues us? his career is predicated by his erection. we didn't say he was impotent. you implied it. he talked about taking viagra with ibuprofen. -that was a joke. depends on how you interpret it. if we made a mistake, oopsie. he's a public figure. he can't get us for being negligent. -he's got to prove reckless disregard for the truth, he can't. i told you, the first amendment's our buddy. dirty, ugly, i could kiss you and almost you. but you won't. you know what? -i think what you did stinks. it was dishonest. you too, pretending to be a-- i'm not a spinner! bite my head off. -i still hate this firm. come on. let's go to the bar. let's celebrate. oh, ally, i'm sorry. -are you all right? you knocked me into the toilet. i was practicing my dismount. you're going to kill someone one day. i'm sorry. -look at me. oh. i was thinking how this place is going down the toilet, and boom! i'm going down too. what? -we're going down the toilet? are you really gonna date her? i committed to thursday. and you know-- you're drawn to her. -i never meant to date her. one minute i was practicing my summation, next-- you don't like her? i don't know. it's.... -i'm worried about this place becoming something different. ally, i have news. the producer of the harold wick show just called. well, is he suing? no. -he's inviting you to be a guest on his show tomorrow. i beg your pardon? he wants you. probably to engage you in some cheap sex talk. do you say yes? -or should i ask nelle? you tell him i'll do it. you will? yeah. sure. -i'll do it. you could get creamed. you only die once. isn't this just radio? it goes out on cable too now. -want some water? soda? i'm fine. we'll start in about 1 0 minutes. does he come down at the last second and plop down? -he doesn't like the guests to get comfortable. what a shock. she's doing what? harold wick. now. -why? i've always wanted to. my wit is more suitable. it doesn't make sense. this is an endorsement. -if we keep talking, we'll miss it. hey. hey. your closing turned out to be good. thank you. -the spirit of it, however.... i'm not sure it was in our client's interest. i'm not billing for my spirit. i hope we win. that summation could give him grounds for a new trial. -then that would've been clever of me, wouldn't it? three, two, one. we're on. i've been sued. everybody knows i've been sued. -but what everybody doesn't know is how sexy and trashy looking all of the lawyers are. we're really lucky to have ally mcbeal here for everybody to see. hi, ally. good morning. mcbeal. -i' m thinking that growing up, you were some cub scout's happy meal. no. it beats having a brownie. let's talk about the case for a minute. firstly is there any way i could see you naked? -i don't think so, harold. i thought you'd say that. you have this phenomenal, tight little body. you know that. i do. -you work on it? i do. at court i was looking at you and nelle. nelle 's naughty, isn 't she? i don 't know. -come on. come on. i was looking at you two and i was thinking, have the two of you ever... ...together? no. -we' re just business associates. with that tight body of yours and nelle 's nasty little-- anyway, let's not go there. let's talk law, okay? a single lawyer beautiful, makes lots of money. you can get laid anytime you want. -pretty much. tell me about this press conference last night. why is she doing this? you've known her the longest. this isn't ally. -many people want to know about this sexual inadequacy thing. did you talk to my ex-wife? yeah. no, no. i thought so. -come on. come on. my ex-wife used to say that having sex with me was like being vaccinated. that hurts, because i thought it was a great 3 seconds. then you guys hold a press conference. -the three of us were trying to turn you on and you never made a move. we were hurt. oh, please. i don' t understand this at all. let's talk about those skirts you wear. -what's that about? men are constantly trying to mentally undress me. i'm just trying to save them time. baby, come on over here and meet the big guy. i- -oh, no, no. thanks, anyway.... jury's back. let's gallop. sorry. -the jury has reached its verdict? we have. what say you? in the matter of daley versus paul's bistro on the count of negligent infliction of emotional distress we find in favor of the defendant. the jury's dismissed. -thank you for your service. i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say thank you. sometimes sentiment is just that, mr. handy. and sometimes not. but a kook is always a kook. -come on. and we' re clear. good job. you were great. thanks. -you were fabulous, actually. i was surprised you agreed to come on. me too, really. why did you come on? is anything off the record with you? -my public persona is my livelihood. ally, what i do is not who i am. i came.... i don't always like what you do. but it's in the form of entertainment. -what we did at the press conference, below the belt. my coming on the show, maybe it took the air out of our show last night. anyway, it was an experience. ally, you' re a great lady. go easy on us? -never. the point was to make him suffer, and she goes on his show charming. she was nice. some people can't help being nice. you know how it is. -no one knew she was going to-- i had a sick feeling about this law firm from the start. i won't pay. there she is. little judas. -how can you suds away everything we tried to--? what we did last night was disgusting. sorry. t echnically i didn't betray any confidences or undermine our client's case. and hey, i extended the firm's 1 5 minutes. -you gotta love that. go to hell! that was hurtful. john, i'm sorry. i thought you were.... -your concerns that this place might become something different.... i share them. you do? but as long as we have you, i know we'll keep what we have. that might be the best thing anyone's ever said to me. -in which case, i'll leave on that note. they're for you. and nobody died. what? i peeked at the card. "t o one classy broad. -love, harold. " perhaps we have a new suitor. hey, guys. a star is born. thank you. -ally, in a million years-- i know. i don't know what came over me. you know what? it didn't hurt. -what's going on over there? i don't know but it scares me. you can dance. i wouldn't have guessed. i'm an enigma. -yes, you are. you can't deny you're having fun. yes, i can. you stinker! subtitles by sdl media group -# i would like to leave this city # this old town don't smell too pretty and # i can feel the warning signs # running around my mind # so what do you say?

. where is the heart, really? . you're right. -even x-rays can't show where it is. use this and cut out my heart. do like this. look. this is my heart. -it's yours. take it with you. the knife too. then you can believe you took my heartyourself. blood gushes from my heart too. -now let's part here. i'll be going far away. i'll never come back again. good-bye. i hate rainy days. -hansen's disease. okada suffered from it. it was regarded as incurable. its patients were isolated. okada was secretly sent away to a remote island, and sada never knew. -okada lived during sada 's lifetime, but did they meet and part like this? sada spoke little about it, and no one actually knows. this film trespasses in the mysterious realm ofsada. are you goi ng to sel i those ki monos agai n? . -yes. what's wrong with selling mine? . now you're just quibbling. you quit school. -you're a truant. your dad says he might makeyou a geisha. really?

. he said you made eyes at him. like this? . -money isn't the issue. we should've made him apologize in public. don'tyou agree? . but what's done is done. -i can't regain myvirginity anyway. sada. tell dad i'll be glad to be a geisha or anything. out ofmyway! i was still theperson i hadalways been, butperhaps the world saw me differentlynow. -anyway, it didn't really concern me. i could be more at ease than before. in a way, i was enjoying myself. wait! run! -two cops agai nst the seven of us. they'll never get us. try to get us! hey, wait! only idiots wait for cops! -try to get us! let's go! wait! wait! that student looked rich, but he was broke. -let's blackmail rich old men next time. where areyou, okada? didyou run away? cops! which way? -. that way! wait! run! sada, run! -get away! my childhood was over before i even knew it. i never thought ofyou as this sexy. sexy? . -you've matured. your dad told me. a lot has happened, eh? . your brother left home with a woman. -your dad had a big tatami shop, but he closed it to pay debts. anything can happen in life. business is slow in japan. recession is everywhere. but there's no recession whereyou're going to work. -men can't resist as long as they have money. a geisha's job is to sell her art, right? . yes. ""art."' a very feminine art. -can she play the samisen? . she doesn't just play music, ma'am. she dances well too. right? -. then play this. play anything you like. all right? . -"cat'" is slang forgeisha theycall me cat but doyou think a cat comes wearing clogs and kimono th e great earthquake of 1 923 mymind is elsewhere. -only my body is hot. an endless stream ofmen came and went, and endless days as well. su m m er 1 92 9 i t's been 1 0 years. i 've moved all over japan. -i 've used aliases. geishas sell their bodies too, so why not just be a whore instead? . i felt more at ease that way. i don't dislike this racket, and i get to choose my clients too. -miyako, there's a client foryou. a client at this hour? . all right. why, it's you, brother! -i heard you were ill, so i came to seeyou. thankyou for coming all this way. this racket and this illness go together. there's an offer foryou. why not work at kusatsu spa? -. it'll cureyour illness. i know. that's whatyou came for. you'll make more money off me. -otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way to osaka to see me. you're a real professional now. meaning? . do i look so sexy?

. how can i take money from you? . instead, there's a man i want to lay me free. -you love him? . no. he's the one who stole myvirginity. why for free? -. if a whore refuses money from a man, it's a big insult to him. i'll get back at him that way. look for him and bring him to me. you're an interesting woman. -no. you're a dreadful woman. thus time passed once again. doyou know why flowers are so lovely like this? . -pardon? . summer 1 935 flowers are like a woman's equipment. oh, madam - -flowers bloom just for that purpose. they attract bees, then their petals fall away. it would be sad if people were the same way. people are different because they have something called a ""heart."' understand? -. where did you hear that? . i read it in that magazine. housewives' fri end -the master's back. and don't call me madam. i'm just a concubine. she knows what to do, so have a nice time. welcome back. -welcome. my name is sada. welcome back. mr. tachibana. pleased to meetyou. -a bath first, or something to eat?

-. he's a school principal. he'll be in parliament too. but he didn't tell me that. i found out on my own. -maybe he wants to hide what he is. he pays me and teaches me lots. he told me to go see my parents. he said to be a dutiful daughter. i'm so grateful to him. -after i leave here, he told me to be an apprentice in a tokyo restaurant. a restaurant? . to study cooking. then he'll give me enough to run a small restaurant. -let's race, mom. ready? . go! dad! -i feel better. japanese kimonos are something. this dress suits you too. it's the ""modern girl" style. it's the rage now. -i wanted to surpriseyou. actually, i hate it. why not show it toyour dad? . it'd shock him to death. -i always wanted to tell you this. what? . that college student who madeyou suffer so - he died. -he became a pilot and crashed during a drill. he was punished. and the other studentyou mentioned - his namewas okada. i thoughtyou knew this. -he suffered from hansen's disease. hewas sent to an island. these things happen. hansen's disease? . -such lovely flowers! this paper's lovely too. sulfate paper. it's the rage, too. rain again. -dad. what areyou looking at? . mountains? trees? -the sky? or the rain? dad. what about the heart? . -the heart? . can you see a human heart? . smile. -smile more, sada. i can see it. your heart is smiling. sada's heart is smiling. dad. -listen. when you smile, mountains, trees, the sky, the rain - everything smiles too. that's a human heart. dad. -why did you buy them? . you're no ordinarywoman. sir. will you do me a favor? -. money? . i'll giveyou some now, then more atyear-end. learn the trade and open a restaurant. -that's not it. then what? . i must return to the conference. find a man who's in isolation for hansen's disease. -you can do it. i know whatyour conference is for. i know all aboutyou. you can do anything. listen, sada. -i'm a school principal. i'll be finished ifwe're seen together. i can't walk on the street with you openly. my fate depends on you. then find him. -okada. a medical student. i met him in 1 91 9. his aunt is the proprietress of an inn. that's all. -look for him. a student named okada? . i must see him at any cost. ifyou promise, -i'll work at the restaurant you recommended. i'll leave this life and run a small restaurant. i'll dowhatever it takes to learn the trade, even washing dishes. but hansen's disease is a secret. i can't do it. -that's why i'm asking you. all right. i'll dowhat i can. you sure are a nice person. i loveyou! -that's enough. all right. we'll stay in contact through this place. i'll ask the madam. keep quiet till i'm elected. -i'll make it. i know. mr. tachibana. seeyou again. here comes the fateful man - -tatsuzo kikumoto. february 1 936. it was three months before it happened. she was 31 and at her best. sada is walking along the street -passersbyturn to look at her but sada keeps on walking hello? . didyou dream ofher -then you don't love her enough ifyou really fall for her you can't sleep at night what are you doi ng? . -come i n. hey! i 'm sada. there's a sada here. see to her. -i 'm here to work as an apprentice. my name is - i know already. who was that gentleman? . -he owns this place. he's my husband, tatsuzo. be careful. he's fast with women. shinkichi! -help her. february 1 2 will this do? . notyet. -ass! how can you polish a square dish with circular motions? . use square strokes. you have nice, lovely hands. -you've neverworked in a kitchen, haveyou? . here she comes. how is she? . -she's doing all right. she is? . we never let a woman touch finished food before. it's mr. tachibana's wish. -mr. tachibana? . sada, how old is he? . he's tough, isn't he? -. i admire him. my kids will come home from school soon. give them a snack. all right? -. she's jealous. who wouldn't be, with you here? . come now. -i can tell. by the way, what doyou think ofthe master? . i already have someone to love. someone beside tachibana? -. tachibana's your patron then? . i must be careful. didyou dream ofher -thenyou don't love her enough not bad. ifyou reallyfall forher you can't sleep at night good at this, eh? -. no. i 'm not used to it yet. but i 'm trying. that's good. -""upright and steadfast," eh? . oh, shinkichi. nothing to tell us who was duty officer... or even who was in the building. -connie's appraisal matches the story irina gave ricki tarr. the implications, the indications, are that karla has managed to build himself a cadre of senior men placed about the globe who work exclusively to him at moscow centre. polyakov is karla's executant in london. you offer that as a working hypothesis? operation witchcraft, that vital flow of russian intelligence which happily came alleline's way. -"supplementary estimates to the treasury. "special accommodation in london."? "wider exploitation. "see also secret annexe." may i see it? the minister keeps it in his safe. -do you know the combination? certainly not. what's the title of this unobtainable document? it doesn't have one. it's highly secret and we've kept the readership to a minimum. -the supplier of the witchcraft material is merlin. does the file give his identity? don't be ridiculous. the minister wouldn't want to know and alleline wouldn't want to tell him. what does "wider exploitation" mean? -i refuse to be interrogated. why do you waste your time pursuing this? i should have you cleared before you see this. witchcraft cleared? yes, george. -do we have a list of people who've been cleared in that way? i hope you're not going fey, george. please, stick with the primary problem - the mole gerald - instead of rootling around in extraneous matters. this is no time to be whimsical. are you off? -you won't forget prideaux? anything you can get on him, even scraps, would help. he has a point, george. witchcraft and merlin, polyakov and the mole. prideaux getting himself shot up on some wild goose chase of control's in czechoslovakia. -you think it all connects? i think i am not the first to make this journey of exploration. i believe control was here before me. he might even have made the full distance but for the bullets in prideaux's back. "there are three of them and alleline." control's words. -he meant operation witchcraft. merlin's minders or inventors or programmers or marionettes... or what? why was control so hostile to alleline? percy wasn't a fool. percy can flirt, peter. -and control hadn't reckoned on the power of the alleline lobby. who were they? golfers. "golfers and conservatives." that's what control said to me. i got a call from control one day - very sharp, very combative. -"george, come in here or there'll be bloodshed." brother percy's trying to twist my tail. take a look at this nonsense. top-level soviet naval despatch. specially prepared for the soviet high command isn't it, percy? -an appreciation of a naval exercise in the med and the black sea, of which our sailors have been screaming for details. haven't they, percy? topicality's always suspect. yes, george. would you like to repeat that for percy? -who made the translation? god made it, didn't he, percy? don't ask him. he won't tell you. shore-to-sea strike power. -radio activation of enemy alert procedures. this is hardly my territory. don't let that worry you. total ignorance of subject matter doesn't bother percy. whose initials are these? -zharov. admiral, black sea fleet. what do our own evaluators say? they've not seen it. what's more, they're not going to. -however, lilley of naval intelligence has passed a preliminary opinion, has he not, percy? percy showed it to him last night. over a pink gin, was it, percy? at the admiralty. note that, george. -they battened down the hatches for percy. brother lilley telephoned me half an hour ago to congratulate me. he believes this material to be neither a plant nor chickenfeed, but gold dust, and he seeks our permission to... percy's, i suppose i should say to apprise his fellow sea lords of its conclusions. quite impossible. -it's for his eyes only for another couple of weeks. it's so hot, you see, george. but where does it come from? who's the case officer? you'll enjoy this. -source merlin has access to the most sensitive levels of soviet policy-making. we've dubbed his product witchcraft. ask him who "we" are, george. merlin is the fruit of a long cultivation by certain people in this service. people who are bound to me as i am to them. -people not entertained by the failure rate about this place. there's been too much blown, too much lost, wasted. too many scandals. i've said so many times. i could've talked to the wind for all the heed he paid me. -"he" means me, george. the ordinary principles of security have gone to the wall in this service. it's all divide and rule, stimulated from the top. me again. we're losing our livelihood, our self-respect. -we've had enough. we've had a bellyful, in fact. please. like everybody's who's ever had enough, he wants more. "this service." -alleline would sell his mother for a knighthood and "this service" for a seat in the lords. suppose merlin's genuine? suppose merlin would pick percy? ! it seems somebody has. -i gather percy's under the impression he picked himself and a whole team. you're sure he left you out, are you, george? what are you going to do about it? depends on "it". i'll wait for "it" to show itself. -in the meantime, i see nothing to deal with except percy's envious eye on my chair. and i've put my thumb in that optic before. george, tittle-tattle tuesday again? hello, percy. toby, roy. -this time. oh, lor'! i thought it would be half over by now. got a rabbit to pull out of your hat, percy? you've got that britain-can-make-it look. -very intimidating. should we have brought our sandwiches? i'll be brief, bill, so long as i'm not obstructed. i'm sorry. traffic. -i should've walked. i think you and percy between you are contriving to keep me off the streets. they're all here now, sir. would you go in, please, gentlemen? how often do i have to emphasise the extreme sensitivity of the source of the witchcraft product? -there is no existing method of whitehall distribution to meet the case. need i remind you of that disgraceful incident when an under-secretary... albeit it overworked, so be it. but the fact remains the man actually gave his despatch box key to his personal assistant. we simply cannot afford that kind of ludicrous insecurity when we are handling witchcraft. -now i have already discussed the problem with lilley of naval intelligence. he is prepared to put at our disposal a special main reading room in the admiralty main building, where witchcraft material can be seen and watched over by a senior janitor of this service. wouldn't you rather have securicor the reading room will be known for cover purposes as the conference room of the adriatic working party - the awp room, for short. thank you. -customers with reading rights will not have passes, since these can be too accessible. instead, they will appear on a special list with photographs. they will identify themselves personally to my janitor. whose janitor, percy? he's already got his own personal wizard. -the odd commissionaire seems modest enough domestic staff. allowing that all this is necessary... essential. ...my minister will want to know more about the cost. it must appear to be borne by the admiralty, even if you reimburse covertly. -of course. the reading room will have to be extensively rebuilt to begin with. now, i'd like to call your attention to the foreign office comment on the most recent witchcraft product. and i quote, "this document sheds an extraordinary sidelight "on soviet aggressive thinking." -does that mean they like it, percy? do you like it, bill? it's from the very heart of your territory. in 25 years, i haven't laid hands on anything of that quality. unless i'm mistaken, nor have our american cousins. -anyone taking it to washington could drive a hard bargain. early days, bill. agreed. but if merlin maintains that standard, we can buy whatever's in the yanks' shop. i don't think control's going to play. -that would rule me out, as well, of course. percy will get his reading room. yes. and after that, i suppose anything's possible. did you want to ask me something? -i'm afraid he's not seeing anyone today. again? i'm being asked why he's cancelled the tuesday conferences. i can't add anything to his memorandum, even for you. even if i could, mr smiley... -no, of course. i was rather hoping, before i set off on this hong kong trip... well, when i get back, perhaps he'll have got through that little lot. now there's a committee. the minister is in the chair, alleline's vice-chairman. -merlin's become an industry. it's the industry and i'm not employed. you won't even read alleline's reports. i haven't time. buying their way in with counterfeit money. -tell them that. tell them anything. i need time. there are three of them and alleline. sweat them. -tempt them. bully them. anything. give them what ever they eat. i need time. -prompt as ever, mr smiley. how are your children, toby? doing terribly well. the boy's at westminster. is that right? -you daughter's probably left school by now. first-year medical student. loves it. good for her. toby... -i have to ask you this. sorry to come prying. your department's behind with its work sheets. two months almost. now, why is that? -it's not lamplighter style. we're not infallible, george. two months? well, i won't question it. is it terribly important? -if you say it is, i'll see it's dealt with. the question is why, toby. let me be blunt. not your style, george. i'm allowed to say that, surely? -i am, after all, one of your oldest protégés. vienna was a long time ago. you haven't been using your staff for any special jobs? either at home or abroad? the kind of special jobs which, for reasons of security, you haven't felt able to mention in your returns. -who would i do that for? in my book, that's completely illegal. well, if percy alleline, for example, ordered you to do something and not record it, that would put you in a difficult position. what sort of something? clear a letter box, prime a safe house. -watch someone's back. spike an embassy. it's all lamplighter work. if percy told you to do it, you might reasonably assume he was acting on instructions from the fifth floor. i do like the service. -i may be sentimental about it, but i prefer to stay in it. now, you understand that. you of all people. my problem is promotion. i mean, the absence of it. -i've so many years' seniority that i feel quite embarrassed when these young fellows ask me to take orders from them. who, toby? which young fellows? roy bland? percy? -would you call percy young? who? when you're overdue for promotion and working hard, anyone looks young who is above you on the ladder. have you been taking orders? you know the line of command, george. -perhaps control could move you up a few rungs. well, you know, actually i'm not sure he's able to these days... are you? so what's the deal? there isn't a deal, roy, really. it's just that control feels the present situation is unhealthy. -he doesn't like to see you getting mixed up with a cabal. nor do i. so what's the deal? what do you want? what about 5,000 quid out of the reptile fund for starters? -then a house and a car? and the kid to eton. your father would turn in his grave. let him rotate, the old commie thug. if there's no deal, george, you'll have to tell control he can get stuffed. -i've paid, you see. you know that. i don't know what the hell i've bought with it, but i've paid a packet. poznan, budapest, prague, back to poznan. have you ever been to poznan? -sofia, kiev. two bloody nervous breakdowns and still between the shafts. that's big money at any age... even yours. no one can deny that, roy. and... you brought me in, remember. -if you think i'm going to the bad, you've only got yourself to blame. you're an educated sort of a swine. "an artist is a bloke who can hold two fundamentally opposing views "and still function." who dreamed that one up? -scott fitzgerald. well, fitzgerald knew a thing or two. and i'm definitely functioning. as a good socialist, i'm going where the money is. as a good capitalist, i'm sticking with the revolution because, if you can't beat it, spy on it. -don't look like that, george? it's the name of the game these days. you scratch my conscience, i'll drive your jag, right? no. did you get that from haydon? -is that one of bill's jokes about materialist england, the pigs-in-clover society? don't you like it? not much. of course there are acquisitive instincts in western society. they are offset against other concerns you won't find in... -poznan, budapest, kiev, sofia. tell me all about it, george. i'm just saying that's england now, man. all you have to do is look out the bloody window. you're seen with bill haydon a great deal these days. -jealous, george? you've got his job. you're control's high chamberlain. what more do you want? long as it lasts. -they do say you write the reports. that's roy's job. no. bland makes the translations. you write the covering reports. -they're typed on your machine. the material's not cleared for typists. percy alleline won't do. is that the premise? which means that merlin won't do either. -poor old control. he is in a pickle. merlin would do if he were my source, wouldn't he? if dazzling bloody bill had hooked a whacking big fish and wanted to play him alone, what would happen then? control would say, "that's very nifty of you, bill boy. -you do it just the way you want. "have some filthy jasmine tea." he'd be giving me a medal now... instead of sending you snooping round corridors. we used to be rather a classy bunch. why are we so vulgar these days? -he thinks percy's on the make. so he is. i also want to be head boy. and toby and roy have designs on your spot. since when was ambition an offence in our beastly outfit? -is ann at home? sent her out to play while you grill your old buddy. who runs him, bill? percy? who do you think? -karla runs him. stands out a mile. lower-class bloke with upper-class sources. must be a bounder. bill... -percy's sold out to karla. only explanation. percy's our house mole. i meant who runs merlin? who is merlin? -what's going on? this is a callot, isn't it? nice, very nice. bill. doesn't anyone think my nose should be out of joint? -i'm supposed to be in charge of the russian target. given it my best years. set up networks, talent-spotters, all mod cons. you've all forgotten what it's like to run an operation where it takes three days to post a letter and you don't get an answer. that's hardly fair to control. -you know how he detests glamour-boy agents who hog the budget, how he hates "miracles" if they put the networks out of focus. pity he doesn't have the same hatred of failure. has he lived with it too long? face it, george, it's percy. percy's success... it's thrown control. -and me, a bit. trouble is, my networks haven't been good enough. this is new. i fancy this very much. ann gave it me. -making amends? probably. must have been quite a sin. how is she? george... cut the cord. -get away from control. he's cut you out of his life for weeks. despatching you with errands a probationer could handle. what's he doing up there? he's gone through files of circus folk heroes from year minus-one -half of them under the earth already. sniffing out the dirt to see who was pink, who was a queen. he's given us all up. i don't think that's true. senile paranoia. -control's going potty. and he's also dying. it's just a question of which gets him first. and within six months of bill haydon's diagnosis, control was indeed dead. -and what killed him? operation witchcraft or operation testify? neither. let's not be melodramatic. control would disapprove. -he died of old age. a little early. but testify destroyed his function in life, which was a form of murder. i don't have nearly enough on testify, peter. would you, please... er? -of course, george. lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word -for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all people to be a light -to lighten the gentiles and to be the glory of thy people israel -glory be to the father and to the son and to the holy ghost as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be -world without end amen and within six months of bill haydon's diagnosis, control was indeed dead. what killed him? -operation witchcraft or operation testify? neither. let's not be melodramatic. control would disapprove. he died of old age. -a little early. but testify destroyed his function in life, which was a form of murder. i don't have nearly enough on testify, peter. would you, please... er? of course, george. -telephone for you, sir. such a rough voice. he says it's someone from your garage. right. your rude mechanic has bad news for you. -personally, i find mechanics are bad news, by and large. which phone, alwyn? the one on the left. get on to the head office and find out when they can supply the damn thing! hang on. -i think i've got the number. alwyn, sling that bag across for me, please. i will, sir. there you go. open it for you? -no, thanks. right, are you ready? the number you want is 4376299. seems to be going according to plan. thank you. -he does sound jumpy. he might have overdone it a bit there. he was very loud. i've seen it happen before. tough ones who crack at 40. -they lock it away, then suddenly you find 'em at their desks, the tears pouring on the blotter. i thought i ought to say what's on my mind. peter will manage. you heard about his assignment in north africa? something, whispers. -peter was overmatched and he lost. his agents were hanged. no one recovers entirely from that sort of thing. that is, i wouldn't trust a man... who did. bag, please. -peter, sorry to disturb you, but we have a tiny crisis. percy alleline would like a word with you. can you come now? of course, toby. have you been waiting? -didn't you tell mr esterhase where i was? we've only just got here, peter. your office told us you were doing a spot of devilling. only... percy's anxious to speak to you now, you see. -is there a shuttle to brixton? yes. ask transport to take that thing over. will do, sir. will do. -percy wants to consult you. how are the martial arts, paul? any new tricks you could show me? paul and i were paired on a tough-guy course. damn near killed each other. -peter. please. wotcha, pete. well, now, young peter guillam, welcome to my house, about which you've been making calls, i hear. are you lonely in the brixton outposts? -tired of chasing the local virgins? if there are any in brixton, which i would doubt! excuse my freedom, mo. you do know that mo delaware is our new head of research? man with message in cleft stick does reach brixton, does he? -barring the monsoon. i hear you have been hobnobbing with the late, lamented ricki tarr, formerly of your section, despatched by you to lisbon and, since then, listed by this service as a defector. how is he? we have tea at fortnum's every afternoon. jasmine. -peter guillam, you may not be aware of this, but i am possessed of an extremely forgiving nature. i positively seethe with goodwill. all i require from you is the matter of your discussion with tarr. i do not ask for his head or any other part of his offensive anatomy, and i will restrain my impulse personally to strangle him... or you. i would even consider bringing you back into the palace from hateful brixton, where presently you linger in well-earned obscurity. -i can't wait for him to turn up! and there's a free pardon for ricki until i get my hands on him. i'll tell him that, word for word. he'll be thrilled. i'm very disappointed in you, young peter. -i pay you honest money and you stab me in the back. i consider that extremely poor reward for keeping you alive, against the entreaties of my advisers, i may tell you. let us begin again. if you won't give me a straight answer, perhaps you'll unburden to somebody more persuasive. roy. -tarr's got a daughter, hasn't he? yes. calls her danny. talk about her a lot? he told me he was fond of her. -that's all i know. what are you shrugging like that for? ! i'm accusing you of playing hooky behind my back with a damn defector, of playing damn-fool parlour games, and all you do is shrug at me? ! -there's a law against consorting with enemy agents! want me to throw the book at you? ! i haven't seen him! who's playing games? -not me. you are. so get off my back! who's danny's mother? eurasian girl. -tarr likes to think she passes for european. and the child. 12 years old, long blonde hair, brown eyes, slim. is that danny? could be. -so if i told you danny and her mother were due in london three days ago on a direct flight from tunis, i take it you would share our perplexity? yes, i would. then you'd keep your mouth shut when we let you out of here? it isn't ordinary flight information, peter. the source is very private. -ultra, ultra sensitive, in fact. in that case, toby, i'll try and keep my mouth ultra, ultra shut. so... what do you make of it, young peter? you're his boss, guide, philosopher, friend. tell me why ricki tarr's in london. -you said his girl and his kid were expected. don't be obtuse, man! where danny goes, there goes tarr. except he'd move first and have his impedimenta follow, yes? that would be favourite. -tarr was supposed to be sitting in moscow. now he's back here on the russian payroll. why's it all so hot? what kind of plant is he when we know everything about him? down to his attack of swine fever, from which he's only partially recovered! -excuse my freedom, mo what kind of plant is that? never mind what sort. muddying pools, poisoning wells. that damn sort. -pulling the rug out. now, listen. just remember this. at the first peep, the first whisper of tarr or his lady or his wee bairn, young peter guillam, you come to one of us grown-ups. anyone you see at this table. -but not another damn soul. the name on the passport is poole. p, double o, i, e. all three of them. tarr told his woman, so we understand, in case of difficulties, she should come to you. sign that, peter, would you? -stupid bloody cabaret. percy gets more insufferable every day. i wouldn't know, bill, would i? "i certify that i have today been advised of witchcraft report no. 308, source merlin. "i undertake not to divulge any part of this report nor to divulge the existence of source merlin." -get over, you sodding snail! peter... that bastard tarr! peter, slow down. slow down. -the file on testify seemed a bit thin. i hope it was worth the sweat. ricki tarr's not lied to us, not in any material way. he's simply done what agents the world over do. failed to tell us the whole story. -on the other hand, he has been rather clever. are you actually pleased with him? well, yes. we now know that source merlin works to moscow centre, because that's where merlin's information on ricki tarr must have come from. from karla. -ricki's been a lot better today, sir. not nearly so... nervy. he did his football pools this morning, then we planted some trees in the garden, and this evening we had a game of cards. has he been out alone? no. -used the telephone? wouldn't dare, sir. has he talked about his daughter danny or her mother? he did over the weekend, but he's cooled off about them since in view of the emotional side. did he mention any arrangements for meeting them, anything about passports? -no, sir. what has he talked about, for god's sake? mostly the russian lady, irina. he mentions her name a lot. he likes to read her diary. -he says he's gonna make moscow centre swap the mole for irina when the mole's been caught. then he'll buy her a place in scotland. he says he'll see me right. get me a big job in the circus. i just listen, of course. -right. you don't post those football coupons, fawn? no, mr smiley. let's hope he doesn't win. that would be expensive for us. -thank you for your help. sorry to impose. he's gone to bed. i must ask you once more. what did you do with the two swiss escape passports you took with you to lisbon? -i told you. burned them. when you bought your fake british passport in istanbul, a passport for yourself in the name of poole, did you buy any others from the same source? why? why should i? -to protect your child and her mother. that seems reasonable. it wouldn't be very gallant to leave them to the mercy of the moscow hood on your tail while you escaped to all this... vip protection. it's horrible to think of. -truly horrible to contemplate the lengths karla might go to in order to obtain your silence or your services. but perhaps what you actually did and forgot to tell us about was to burn the british passports you obtained for mrs poole and miss danny poole, but kept your own to convince karla's footpads you thought it was still safe. then, probably, you made travel bookings in the name of the poole family for the same reason. you doctored the swiss passports for danny and her mother and made other arrangements for them like staying in marseilles, perhaps... i don't know where they are, but i'm sure no harm has come to them. -watch your own damn woman! leave mine alone! no, peter. it's just as well i shouldn't know where they are so long as you don't try to communicate. unless, of course, you want me to help in some way. -money or whatever. no need. let's trust each other, shall we? are we friends again, mr guillam? it won't be long now. -got all you need? can i have my gun back? yes. well, why not, peter? do we buy that? -oh, yes. i told you he'd been clever. a little bit of the truth is indispensable in the games agents play. you know that. ricki put his family in safekeeping and found his own way home. -he fooled the russians. if karla had a deal with him, would you and i be alive and living in hope? not by now, i think. let it breathe a little. just leave it. -we'll pour it when we're ready. does anyone know karla's real name? how old is he? another mystery. decades of his life unaccounted for. -so many of the people he's worked with have a way of... dying off. he was in england in 1936 and '41. that's documented. we can assume it was some time during that period he recruited our mole gerald. i met him once. -in delhi. long before we came to know him as the legendary karla. in the mid-fifties, moscow centre was in pieces on the floor. wholesale purgings and shootings. as a result, defection everywhere. -i became a kind of commercial traveller. the whole world was my territory. inspecting the goods, fixing the terms. disposing as seemed best. on london's instructions, of course. -well, i found myself off to india, where the authorities had arrested, at our request, on some trumped-up immigration nonsense, a mr gerstmann... karla's name at that time. he was on his way back to moscow from san francisco, except that he didn't know that he was moscow-bound. he'd been told to rendezvous with a tass correspondent in delhi. the message from the tass man was an aeroplane ticket and..."don't ask me any questions, comrade." -karla was in disgrace. summoned and doomed. there were two things he didn't know - first, we'd intercepted the radio signal directing him to delhi. secondly, the san francisco network he'd organised had been rolled up, hide and hair, the day he left. could we take those things off his hands? -i only have to shout for you, don't i? mr gerstmann you are the cold war orphan. if you go home to moscow, you'll be shot or sent to die in a camp. wouldn't you prefer to ask us for protection? we have no powers of permanent arrest. -our arrangement with the americans was that they hit your agents and we make you this invitation. i can't see an alternative for you. if you cooperate, we can give you a new start, a new identity. seclusion, a modest amount of money. why don't you start by telling me your true name? -would you like a cigarette? i know you're a chain-smoker. please. i know this is what you smoke. look... -i'm not offering you wealth... or smart women or your choice of fast cars - things you haven't any use for. and i won't make any claims about the moral superiority of the west. i'm sure you can see through our values, as i can see through yours in the east. you and i spend our lives looking for the weaknesses in each other's systems. -i'm sure each of us has experienced innumerable technical satisfactions in our wretched cold war. but now your own side is going to shoot you... for nothing. for misdemeanours you have not committed. because of a power struggle within your own hierarchy. because, probably, of someone's treachery or sheer incompetence. -i'm sure both of us, when we were young, subscribed to great visions. not any more. after all you've seen you can't still be committed to that old grand design. it's achieved nothing... except new forms of the old misery. -don't destroy yourself. they're not worth it. do you know where your wife is? i mean, at this moment. you have to think about her. -she'll have to make a new life. she'll have a friend... one really good friend who could look after her. perhaps we could get in touch with her secretly. if you stay with us, we might be able to arrange something. an exchange for someone your people want returned. -but if you go back, it can do her nothing but harm. she'll be cold-shouldered... suspected. the best she can hope for is to be allowed to see you before you're shot. another meaningless firing squad. guard. -what did control say when you got back? "i hope to god they do shoot him." but they didn't. his boss was the one who faced the firing squad, as it turned out. mr gerstmann survived... and thrived. -how he thrived. he went on to build his legend and become the karla we know. who, all the time he sat looking at me, was thinking of gerald the mole. have you noticed, peter... that whenever i really trouble one of our acquaintances with my questions, he'll raise the matter of my failure as a husband... to confound me. instructive. -ricki tarr tried it twice. unimportant, in his case. spite. well... that was sumptuous that boy fawn - good at his judo, isn't he? -karate. judo is what fawn would call "just your little cuddle, mr smiley." i don't think even toby esterhase's people would follow us here. the food's well below the standard they've come to expect. so karla's fireproof. -he can't be bought or beaten. not fireproof, because he's a fanatic. i may have behaved like the archetype of a flabby western liberal, but i'd rather be my kind of fool than his. one day, that lack of moderation will be karla's downfall. he's never touched radio since the débâcle in san francisco. -cut it right out of his handwriting. his agents aren't allowed near it. that's something else you and karla have in common. yes, i am prejudiced against radio men. tiresome breed. -overstrung, unreliable. what's the other thing? the cigarette lighter. i assume he still has it. as far as i know. -sorry, george. not at all. how do you feel, peter? i'm all right. after delhi, you know, control gave me three months' leave without any option. -when this is over, i hope you'll take it easy for a while. we're not quite there, but nearly. peter, have you got the handbrake on? operation witchcraft. alleline to minister. -"extremely secret and personal. "we spoke. merlin, as you may have known for some time, is not one source but several. "it'll do the treasury no harm to learn..." percy was enjoying himself! "...to learn that merlin's 10,000 swiss francs a month in salary -"and a similar figure for expenses are scarcely excessive "when the cloth has to be cut so many ways. "nevertheless, i regard it as paramount "that knowledge of the london house and its purpose "remain absolutely at a minimum." -in a sense, alleline's quite right about merlin. of course merlin represents several sources. various departments of moscow centre, with karla cuing them in on the basis of the most timely material of the moment. sometimes he likes to direct circus attention to a topical subject, sometimes to deflect it. for example, after ricki tarr's encounter with irina in lisbon, -merlin delivered some vivid insights on the "ideological penetration "of the united states." but karla doesn't know what tarr's done with irina's information. which brings us to your interrogation by alleline and his reference to tarr's probable role over here in "muddying pools" et cetera. merlin's message on tarr, i suggest, was that ricki would be trying to sell to someone in london, on karla's behalf, fictitious material about a traitor in the circus. -nothing muddier than that, is there? remember, merlin is totally believed. we have a connection between merlin and the mole. and at the heart of this beautifully symmetrical plot is a house in london for which the treasury paid £60,000. plus another 10 for making it more to merlin's liking. -or gerald's. fascinating, george. thank you. how do i explain to my minister, least painfully, that merlin's a fraud and he'll have to tell the americans so? he's devoted to merlin. -impress upon him that whatever he's buying from the americans with merlin's discredited currency is going to moscow via gerald the mole. that should do the trick. this document is not one you've asked me to bring. it arrived only today. source unknown. -"according to a recently released prisoner from lubianka, "moscow centre held a secret execution in march. "the victims, three of its functionaries, were shot in the back of the neck." one was a woman. ricki tarr mustn't know. -it's vital he gets no wind of this. god knows what he'd do if he found out irina was dead. we may need to use him. do you believe tarr's in love with her? a highlands homestead, the avenging lover? -the honourable ricki tarr? he may feel compelled, peter. everybody has a loyalty somewhere. he mustn't know. i agree. -i've brought all i could find on jim prideaux. thank you. prideaux and bill haydon were really... very close, you know. i hadn't realised. -yes. thank you. operation testify. we need to understand what happened or, rather, why it happened. the file you borrowed gives us a nudge in the right direction. -i think i know who to talk to next. your day was hardly wasted. i am glad of that. we traced prideaux. he's now a teacher. -thursgood preparatory school for boys. it's in the west country. right. lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace -according to thy word for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face -of all people to be a light to lighten the gentiles and to be the glory -of thy people israel glory be to the father and to the son and to the holy ghost -as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end amen what happened to two, mike? -bravo, mike! bravo! bellissimal you really make all that up? are you really going to shave your legs? -ce/10. all the italians do it. eh, some country. the women don't shave theirs. eh, huh? -stop! it was somewhere right along here that i lost all interest in life. aha! it was right here. this is where i saw dolores reineke... and fat marvin! -why, dolores? why? they're married now. see what i saved you from, cyril? if i hadn't told you, you never would have followed them out here. -well, thanks, mike. you made me lose all interest in life, and i'm grateful. my brother said he saw you and nancy, moocher. when'? uh, last friday. -well, it wasn't me. i'm not seeing her anymore. this is gonna be the first time no one's gonna ask us to write a theme... about how we spent our summer. yeah. when you're 16, they call it sweet 16. -when you're 18, you get to drink, vote, and see dirty movies. what the hell do you get to do when you're 19? you leave home. my dad said jesus never went further than 50 miles from his home. look what happened to him. -whoo! come on in! i read where this italian coach said it's no good to go swimming right after a race. i'm taking a leak. dave, is moocher home? -hey, ciao, bambini. buon giorno! he was as normal as pumpkin pie, and now look at him. his poor parents. it's that cologne he wears. -it's called... neapolitan sunset. yeah? well, the flies seem to like it. there. -this is it? well, you know what the doctor said. at your age what the hell do you mean "at my age"? goddamn see-through coffee. -he says you have a bad heart. that's got nothing to do with my age. it's our son that's ruining my health, evelyn. what's he going to do? he wanted a year off with those bums so i give him a year. -it hasn't been a year yet. but, evelyn, look what's happened to him. he's turned into an "lty." "ciao, papa. ciao, mama. -'arrivederci. . that's "lty" talk. i used to think it was funny at first. it's not funny anymore. he was very sickly until he started riding around on that bike. -well, now his body's fine, but his mind is going. he used to be a smart kid. i thought he was going to go to college. i thought you didn't want him to. why should he? -i never went to college. when i was 19, i was working in the quarry ten hours a day. most of the quarries are closed. let him find another job. jobs are not that easy to find. -let him look at least. let him come home tired from looking. he's never tired. he's never miserable. he's young- -when i was young, i was tired and miserable. i had my own place at 17. he says italian families stay together. evelyn, we are not italian. oh, i know, i know. -it's just that i come from a big family myself... and it was kind of nice. he thinks we should have another child. what? buon giorno, papa. i'm not papa! -i'm your goddamn father! buon giorno, mama. she's your goddamn mother. what'd you do? win again? -the victory, she was easy. but the promoter tells me that the italians will be here soon. i will race with the best- italianos. like the nightingales, they sing. like eagles, they fly. -speaking of flies, you brought a hell of a lot in with you. fly in italian is mosca. in english it's "pest." speaking of pests- isn't this a lovely trophy? look. oh, yeah. -so what? i lived 50 years, i never got a trophy. you never got a trophy? nope,i never got one. i give you this one. -you are numero uno, king papa. don't do that. i have to take a shower. there's that "lty" music again! i'm gonna have this out with him now! -what's the matter? he's shaving. well, so what? his legs. he's shaving his legs. -i was just on my way to work. come on in. you know what? no. what? -i'm leaving home, that's what. what? where are you going? about five blocks south. oh. -i found this nice little place to rent. it's so cute i could scream. scream. my folks said i could have some of their furniture from the basement. all right! -maybe you could give me a hand... moving. oh, sure. if i'm not too busy, you know? how's the job? you know what? -frank said if i keep up the good work, it'll just be a matter of time before i become head cashier. that's great. well, i should go now. nancy. uh... -i think i'll walk you to work. i'm going out that way anyways. it gets 30 miles to the gallon. of course, the mileage you get may vary. it's a beaut, right? -right. boy, you sure know how to pick 'em. frankly, this is the best car on the lot. quality product. buon giorno, papa! -come stai? friend of yours? aren't you glad we got fired from the a p? i mean, right now, we'd be working. we didn't get fired, mike. -you got fired. we quit. all for one and one for all. you know, there ain't many places that are gonna hire all four of us. you know what i'd like to be? -smart. a cartoon of some kind. wouldn't that be great? you know, when they get hit on the head with a frying pan... and their head looks like the frying pan with the handle and everything? then they go boing and... their head comes back to normal. -wouldn't that be great? how did you get to be so stupid, cyril? i don't know. guess i have a dumb heredity. what's your excuse, michael? -you hear from your folks, mooch? yeah, my dad called. he says there's a lot more jobs in chicago. he hasn't gotten anything yet, though. wanted to know if the house was sold. -hmm. he could use the money something fierce. you can come live with me when it's sold. in italy, everybody lives together. you're really getting to think you're italian, aren't you? -i wouldn't mind thinking i was somebody myself. i think the door's stuck on that icebox. i can't see him! oh, yoo-hoo! it's got no back on it. -funny shit. funny. what the hell are they doing here? i've never seen anybody dive off from up there. hey, you bastards! -who's that? hey, cutters! they got indoor and outdoor pools on campus, and they got to come here. it's my goddamn quarry. this hole, this quarry hole is mine! -hey, screw you, cyril. come on. let's get out of here. going to college must do something to girls' tits, i swear. just look at 'em. -hi there! what's your major? sure look like they've got it made. that's because they're rich. italians are poor, but they're happy. -yeah, maybe in italy. whoa! whoo! hey, good one, kath. go! -rod, here. i wonder what it's like to kiss a coed. wonder about that a lot. whoa! hey! -hey, that bastard's giving us the finger. come on! dumb-ass cutters! goddamn bastard-ilickiin' retards! number 1, move! -hut! 18! hut! i used to think i was a great quarterback in high school. still think so too. -can't even bring myself to light a cigarette...

-just drop that italian shit, too, all right? i'm really sick of that crap. oh, shit! you know, i think you're just afraid of those college guys. and you're not, right, mike? -the only thing i'm afraid of is wasting the rest of my life with you guys! i thought that was the whole plan... that we were going to waste the rest of our lives together. what's he doing? that guy- whoo! -come on, mike! mike! hold on, mike! i tried calling her to tell her, but i just couldn't. she's going to see you in the 500, you know. -you know, if she really likes you, she just won't care. hey, uh, dave, me and nancy, we're going to get married. what a mess. moocher, you're catholic, aren't you?

so he can thumb his diploma at me? -that's because he never went to college. besides, he's probably too stupid to get in. shh! he'll hear you. i don't care! -it's my house. besides, he doesn't speak english anyway. i'm sure he'll find a job somewhere. he couldn't find a job to save his life. he's worthless, evelyn. -i tell you. i die of shame every time i see him. lazy freeloader. hi, alvin! look who's here! -looks like the safety inspector. or a union organizer. dugan, i thought you'd retired. they won't let me retire. howdy, floyd. -we could sign you up as an apprentice. like hell you can! i'm only here for a visit, but if i wanted to start over again... i could pick up right where i left off. how are you, russell?

he's going to wind up a bum- an italian bum. well, you could use some help. what if you gave him a job? -i don't want him selling used cars. why not? it's good enough for you. who says it's good enough for me? you do. -damn right it's good enough for me, but i don't need any help. he'd ruin me if i hired him, a weirdo kid like that. gee. hey! no whistling! -you're supposed to be a shag boy, so shag. if i wanted whistling, i'd get a bird. how are you feeling?

'course i must. do i have any choice? -you said you were going to give them a little pep talk. they don't need pep. i need pep. go on. give it to them. -uh, we thought- as long as you're goin' out there, you might as well tell 'em who you are. right. i want to take a second to point out two or three flags you'll have to obey. the first, and most important is the green flag. -that means the race is on. when the green flag is out, you are racing. if you see the yellow flag, that means there's been an accident... or someone has a problem that will force the track to slow down. please follow your leader. the third flag is the checkered flag. -this needs no explanation. this is a 200-lap, 50-mile bicycle race... ridden on a one-quarter mile track. it consists of 33 four-man teams. however, this year, president ryan has invited an out in town team to participate. -although they're newcomers, i'm sure they'ii give it their best effort. the cutters, ladies and gentlemen. any of the team members during the race may exchange to another member... whenever they feel exhausted or in need of help. i.u.! i.u.! -they're coming down now! the green flag is up! the little 500 is under way! get out of my way! go, faster! -hey, hey. come on, man. let's go. move it! hey, watch it. -all right! he's movin' up! look at him go! the sigma tau omega team and the acacia team. i should point out what a remarkable job the cutter team is doing. -they started in 34th position, and they're doing a beautiful job moving up through the field. oh. the acacia team has just' given a signal on the last' lap that they wanted to make an exchange. we see the rider from the acacia team accelerating away... giving himself a lead so the receiving rider can get on the bike... and not be behind when the pack comes by. beautiful exchange! -another team is exchanging right behind. here are our leaders coming in for an exchange. sigma tau omega team. one of the teams is moving up very quickly on the outside. it appears to be team number 34, the cutter team. -here he is, fighting nip and tuck to take the lead. he's done it! he's taken the lead! team 34 has assumed the lead, coming from last position. what an incredible effort on the part of the leader of this race. -you got him! let's go! come on! the leading teams at this point' in the race are the curlers, the sigma tau omega team, the phi psi's, the delta chi's and the acacia team. the rider for the cutters team- dave stohler- -that's my boy! is pulling ahead e even further a we y. pulling ahead! it' is incredible, the job he is doing. come on, dave! -he is really bearing down and is turning in some terrific lap times here. ! don't happen to have a stopwatch, but- he won't last. this is utterly amazing. -after 25 miles that's 100 laps, folks- the rider for the cutter team is still out front. we've learned he has yet to come in for an exchange. we're number one! someone's down. -there's an accident in the second corner. i can't see who it is. just a second. it's dave stohler from the cutter team... who's taken a bad spill. he had a 3/4 of a lap lead. -i can't see if he's hurt. he is up, and he's getting on the bike, but he's obviously in agony. come on, dave! no way. he wants off, man. -that's the signal. he's coming in. here you go. i don't want to race. you go! -get on the bike! get going! we got a lead! no one is going. the other rider is standing in the pit holding the bike. -get out there, mike! get on the bike! the little guy's getting on the bike! you okay? what's the matter? -what happened? as a result of that terrible exchange... the cutter team has dropped from the lead. the sigma tau omega team has regained the lead. the cutter team has fallen into second position. here comes another team challenging and has passed the cutters. -the cutters have fallen into third place. try as they may, they seem to be losing ground. dave stohler has been taken- well, ev, he tried. even the announcer said he tried. -it's all over. help! nice try, kid. the lead team has just completed 170 of these 200 laps. there are only 30 laps remaining. -the sigma tau omega team looks unbeatable. although many things can happen, as we've already seen today... things can change like the wind. stay on this side of the bike. the other side. bring it in! -go, you cutter, go! move out. the cutters made an exchange. they now have a new man on the bike. he's been doing a very good job. -he has moved the cutters into fourth position. ana' appears to be moving enough to make a serious challenge for third position. we'ii have to wait and see if this is able to happen. we're not doing too bad. this once again points out the fact that this is a team effon'. -one man may fall back, another may be exceptional... but sometimes when you're down another man can pick up ground that you've lost. this appears to be what's happening here. we showed those shitheads. showed them what? come on, mike! -bring it in! come on! it appears he may be getting back on the bike. dave stohler is back on the bike. but his teammates are taping his feet to the pedals. -this is perfectly legal... but it does mean he will not be able to exchange for the remainder of the race. the next 15 laps he must ride by himself. pick it up! pick it up! pick it up! -he's back in the race! he has dropped from fourth into fifth position. there are only 15 more laps remaining. go, son! go, damn you! -it remains to be seen if dave will be able to close up the gap. you'll get on the bike when he does. stay behind him till the third turn. yeah! yeah! -one hundred ninety six completed. the cutters, team number 34, now in second place. they have completed 198 laps. 198 laps! still leading, sigma tau omega, team number 1. -and here comes your leader now through turn number four. coming down to take the white flag! one lap to 90-' it's a duel between sigma tau omega and cutters... team number 1 and team number 34... as they battle it out through the last lap. go! -go! go! half a lap to go. they're going into turn number three. number 1, still leading. -34 coming up very close on the inside! here they go for the checkered flag! and 34 wins! all right! and now, this is what you have been waiting for. -the winning team, from bloomington, indiana... the winner of the little 500- the cutters! bye. see you later. the union? -do you know where is the office of the purser? you must mean the bursar's office. uh, oui bursar. i was thinking of taking french, but it's my first year. have you ever seen le tour de france? -no. no'?

"one for you, one for you." i'm sorry i gave him back his money. i really am. -everybody cheats. i just didn't know. well, now you know. where's your trophy? daddy! -what's the matter? what are you crying for? acting like you lost your wallet. i didn't want you to be this miserable. a little bit's all i asked for. -go on now. it's all right. talk to him, evelyn. what are you doing? hi, kathy. -oh, god, what did you do to yourself? i just, uh‒ oh, i liked you better before. what happened to your cornicello? now you look like everybody else. i am everybody else. -i mean‒ listen, kathy... catherina! i feel terrible. you sound funny. -che cosa, enrico? tell me. look. kathy, i‒ my name is dave stohler. i made all that other stuff up. -i was born in bloomington. i went to bloomington high. i was treasurer of the latin club and usher on the senior‒ okay. stop kidding around. -i'm not kidding around! see, i'm what you call a cutter. why napoli? and the big family? -well, it was a good act. you‒ you certainly fooled me. you know what you are? i got a clue. i'll tell you what you are. -you‒ dave. yes, dad? i cut the stone for this building. you did? -yeah. i was one fine stonecutter. mike's dad, moocher's, cyril's, all of us. well, cyril's dad‒ never mind. thing of it was, i loved it. -i was young and slim and strong. i was damn proud of my work. and the buildings went up. when they were finished, the damnedest thing happened. it was like... -the buildings was too good for us. nobody told us that. just... just felt uncomfortable. that's all. -even now, i‒ i'd like to be able to stroll through the campus... and look at the limestone, but i just feel out of place. you guys still go swimming in the quarries? sure. -so the only thing you got to show for my 20 years of work... is the holes we left behind. i don't mind. i do. cyril's dad says he took that college exam. we both took it. -how did both of us do? well, i don't know. one of us did okay. but neither... of us‒ hell, i... don't want to go to college, dad! -to hell with them! i'm proud of being a cutter. you're not a cutter. i'm a cutter. what, are you afraid? -yeah. a little bit. and then there's the rest of the guys. well, you took the exam. did all right, didn't you? -yes. well, that's‒ that's good. your mom will be expecting us home. come on. am i supposed to ride this thing? -well, that's the official issue. you can't add or change anything. well, it's a piece of junk! hey, it's got a lot of personality to it. it doesn't look that bad to me. -that's 'cause you don't have to ride it. you don't have to ride it either, dave. we're not going to beg you. we may plead, but we would never beg. aw, the hell with it! -get off, cyril. at least we got invited. i'm just gonna take it back. you seem relieved, mike. what's the matter? -don't you think we can win anymore? why not? maybe those guys are better than us. maybe they are, but that's the first time i heard you say anything like that. that's the first time i ever felt that. -all right. hello. what are you doing here? i'm leaving soon. where are you going? -i got a job in chicago. moocher's dad's in chicago. he got a job there. he's, uh‒ and i'm going to italy after all with my parents. -great, kath. i wish you a nice trip. you too. i'm not going anywhere. i don't know about that. -thank you. you're welcome. if you eat so much, moocher, how come you're so damn small? oh, it's my metabolism, mr. stohler. i eat three times a day. -my metabolism eats five times a day. well, i go back to work tomorrow. you're not gonna come see us race? he thought he might bring you bad luck. well, i just have work to do. -that's all. besides, there might be another metabolism to feed around here. you mean, we might be a father? no, i might be a father. your mom might be a mother. -you might be a brother. that way, i keep it all in the family. wow. i didn't think people your age‒ the next word may be your last, kid. -you must be very happy, mr. stohler. 'course i must. do i have any choice? you said you were going to give them a little pep talk. they don't need pep. -i need pep. go on. give it to them. uh, we thought... as long as you're goin' out there, you might as well tell 'em who you are. -right. i want to take a second to point out two or three flags you'll have to obey. the first, and most important is the green flag. that means the race is on. when the green flag is out, you are racing. -if you see the yellow flag, that means there's been an accident... or someone has a problem that will force the track to slow down. please follow your leader. the third flag is the checkered flag. this needs no explanation. this is a 200-lap, 50-mile bicycle race... ridden on a one-quarter mile track. -it consists of 33 four-man teams. however, this year, president ryan has invited an out in town team to participate. although they're newcomers, i'm sure they'll give it their best effort. the cutters, ladies and gentlemen. -any of the team members during the race may exchange to another member... whenever they feel exhausted or in need of help. i.u.! i.u.! they're coming down now! the green flag is up! -the little 500 is under way! get out of my way! go, faster! hey, hey. come on, man. -let's go. move it! hey, watch it. all right! he's movin' up! -look at him go! the sigma tau omega team and the acacia team. i should point out what a remarkable job the cutter team is doing. they started in 34th position, and they're doing a beautiful job moving up through the field. oh. -the acacia team has just given a signal on the last lap that they wanted to make an exchange. we see the rider from the acacia team accelerating away... giving himself a lead so the receiving rider can get on the bike... and not be behind when the pack comes by. beautiful exchange! another team is exchanging right behind. here are our leaders coming in for an exchange. -sigma tau omega team. one of the teams is moving up very quickly on the outside. it appears to be team number 34, the cutter team. here he is, fighting nip and tuck to take the lead. he's done it! -he's taken the lead! team 34 has assumed the lead, coming from last position. what an incredible effort on the part of the leader of this race. you got him! let's go! -come on! the leading teams at this point in the race are the cutters, the sigma tau omega team, the phi psi's, the delta chi's and the acacia team. the rider for the cutters team‒ dave stohler... that's my boy! is pulling ahead even further away. -pulling ahead! it's incredible, the job he's doing. come on, dave! he's really bearing down and is turning in some terrific lap times here. i don't happen to have a stopwatch, but... -he won't last. this is utterly amazing. after 25 miles‒ that's 100 laps, folks... the rider for the cutter team is still out front. we've learned he has yet to come in for an exchange. -we're number one! someone's down. there's an accident in the second corner. i can't see who it is. just a second. -it's dave stohler from the cutter team... who's taken a bad spill. he had a 3/4 of a lap lead. i can't see if he's hurt. he is up, and he's getting on the bike, but he's obviously in agony. come on, dave! -no way. he wants off, man. that's the signal. he's coming in. here you go. -i don't want to race. you go! get on the bike! it's our race. get going! -we got a lead! no one is going. the other rider is standing in the pit holding the bike. get out there, mike! get on the bike! -the little guy's getting on the bike! you okay? what's the matter? what happened? as a result of that terrible exchange... the cutter team has dropped from the lead. -the sigma tau omega team has regained the lead. the cutter team has fallen into second position. here comes another team challenging and has passed the cutters. the cutters have fallen into third place. try as they may, they seem to be losing ground. -dave stohler has been taken‒ well, ev, he tried. even the announcer said he tried. it's all over. help! -nice try, kid. the lead team has just completed 170 of these 200 laps. there are only 30 laps remaining. the sigma tau omega team looks unbeatable. although many things can happen, as we've already seen today... things can change like the wind. -stay on this side of the bike. the other side. bring it in! go, you cutter, go! move out. -the cutters made an exchange. they now have a new man on the bike. he's been doing a very good job. he has moved the cutters into fourth position. and appears to be moving enough to make a serious challenge for third position. -we'll have to wait and see if this is able to happen. we're not doing too bad. this once again points out the fact that this is a team effort. one man may fall back, another may be exceptional... but sometimes when you're down another man can pick up ground that you've lost. this appears to be what's happening here. -we showed those shitheads. showed them what? come on, mike! bring it in! come on! -it appears even with the injury, dave stohler... it appears he may be getting back on the bike. dave stohler is back on the bike. but his teammates are taping his feet to the pedals. this is perfectly legal... but it does mean he will not be able to exchange for the remainder of the race. -the next 15 laps he must ride by himself. pick it up! pick it up! pick it up! he's back in the race! -he has dropped from fourth into fifth position. there are only 15 more laps remaining. go, son! go, damn you! it remains to be seen if dave will be able to close up the gap. -you'll get on the bike when he does. stay behind him till the third turn. yeah! yeah! one hundred ninety six completed. -the cutters, team number 34, now in second place. they have completed 198 laps. 198 laps! still leading, sigma tau omega, team number 1. and here comes your leader now through turn number four. -coming down to take the white flag! one lap to go! it's a duel between sigma tau omega and cutters... team number 1 and team number 34... as they battle it out through the last lap. go! go! -go! half a lap to go. they're going into turn number three. number 1, still leading. 34 coming up very close on the inside! -here they go for the checkered flag! and 34 wins! all right! and now, this is what you have been waiting for. the winning team, from bloomington, indiana... the winner of the little 500‒ -the cutters! bye. see you later. the union? do you know where is the office of the purser? -you must mean the bursar's office. uh, oui, bursar. i was thinking of taking french, but it's my first year. have you ever seen le tour de france? no. -no? mon dieu! hiya, big shot! bonjour, papa! i.u! -what happened to two, mike? bravo, mike! bravo! bellissima! you really make all that up? -are you really going to shave your legs? all the italians do it. eh, some country. the women don't shave theirs. eh, huh? -stop! it was somewhere right along here that i lost all interest in life. aha! it was right here. this is where i saw dolores reineke... and fat marvin! -why, dolores? why? they're married now. see what i saved you from, cyril? if i hadn't told you, you never would have followed them out here. -well, thanks, mike. you made me lose all interest in life, and i'm grateful. my brother said he saw you and nancy, moocher. when? uh, last friday. -well, it wasn't me. i'm not seeing her anymore. i kind of miss school. this is gonna be the first time no one's gonna ask us to write a theme... about how we spent our summer. yeah. -when you're 16, they call it sweet 16. when you're 18, you get to drink, vote, and see dirty movies. what the hell do you get to do when you're 19? you leave home. my dad said jesus never went further than 50 miles from his home. -look what happened to him. preston can't be killed. his cells don't die. he's over 4,000 years old. oh, 4,000. -the new 50. you just don't know the truth when you hear it. preston is a great man. he has the wisdom of the ages. beyond your capacity to understand. -ms.turner... was chyna a reptilian ? who is this ? the reptilian athena. is that chyna de vere ? tell me about this one. -that's the protector of mankind. is that you ? did you slay the reptilian athena ? i did what i had to do. what's this all about ? -i have to kill you. what ? it's not like there's nothing at stake here. just the survival of the human race. yeah, i'm just a phone booth away from changing into my tights and saving the world. -hey, warrick, i got something. i was scanning the casino footage from the day chyna disappeared. and she had a visitor. her husband. -she doesn't look so happy to see him. well, we don't need words to get that. give me your ring. i really, really hate you. our marriage is over. -that means she was killed before she had a chance to change her clothes. that would explain why we found both rings in the ashes. but it doesn't explain what happened to him. i found it embedded in this. t-9 vertebra. -but that means the bullet had to pass through at least one vital organ. yeah, heart, lung, and then the dome of the liver. that's your c.o.d. and you're sure these are chyna de vere's bones. yeah, pelvis is female. -no duplicate bones. the femur's the same length as the one the pigs were chomping on. it's her. okay. well, we'll run this against connors' guns. -i always feel sorry for the monster. then you better turn it off before they use the oxygen destroyer on him. sara sidle 1623 west i don't know why i find it so difficult to express my feelings to you. even though we're far apart, -i can see you as vividly as if you were here with me. i said i'll miss you, and i do. as shakespeare more ably wrote my sentiment in sonnet 47, thyself away art present still with me; for thou not farther than my thoughts canst move, and i am still with them, and they with thee. or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight. -fire in the hole ! you're supposed to let me get these things on. you were supposed to be ready. i don't know, man. maybe it would have worked out better if tina was someone who did what we did. -at least she'd understand the hours. i don't know. i don't think it's a good idea to date somebody you work with. you never really get away from work or them the way you need to, you know ? you mean, like me and you, baby ? -yeah, exactly, honey. yeah, it looks like the bullet that killed her came from connors' walther ppk. captain brass ? jim. joe vasquez. -how you doing, joe ? i got a call from a passing motorist. naked guy running around in the desert. that may not be so strange where you work, but out here, it gets our attention. i recognized him from the news. -thanks a lot, joe. preston de vere ? very glad to be back home. what are you doing out here, preston ? i was a captive, held against my will. -from what the sheriff tells me, i've been gone over a week. feels like just seconds. can you describe these people to me ? well, yes, but you won't believe me. -try me. they were very tall... with reptilian features, large, almond-shaped, red eyes. what's happening, lizard king ? i appreciate your skepticism. i anticipated it. -insight begins with asking the right questions. okay, then, when exactly were you abducted ? nine days ago. oh, so you were abducted before your wife was missing. what do you mean chyna is missing ? -what happened to her ? what are you trying to tell me ? you don't know your wife is dead ? that was callous of you. unnecessarily cruel. -i had no idea. that sweet girl... stop the crocodile tears. come on. preston. if she was so sweet, what were you doing chillin' in cabo with shannon turner ? -are you suggesting that was romantic ? well, you got your pictures on the coffee mug. that's romantic to me. you better come up with an alibi on planet earth of where you were the night your wife was killed. that's easy. -there's a woman, and it is romantic, very romantic. i was with her when they took me. her name is clarissa niles. we are victims... and no one is listening to us. we're powerless against what's going on. -we're not crazy. if you look at who has had contact, we're airline pilots, professionals, teachers, scientists. i don't know how to get the truth out, but we have to. has anyone talked to shannon in the last couple of days ? they've got her. -it's like we're witnessing some form of mass hallucination. you know, they think the cops are part of this reptilian conspiracy as well. that's why shannon attacked greg. let's try this again. and why hank connors shot himself. -sorry to interrupt. don't make eye contact with them. please, we come in peace. which one of you is clarissa niles ? don't. -it's all right. i'm not afraid. got a warrant to tow in clarissa niles' car. blue fluorescence is one of the properties of scheelite. which was found in the soil at hank connors' ranch. -and preston beamed down in the same area. have you looked inside yet ? i was just about to. preston was found naked, right ? yeah, it's a recurrent theme in tales of alien abduction. -i practically grew up on the x-files. preston's wallet. somehow i doubt aliens would have folded his clothes when they abducted him. so clarissa drove him out there and he left his stuff in her car. that's not all he left : -steam cleaner. just what every estranged husband needs to clean up his dead wife's blood. this case just came down to earth. yes, preston was at my home in summerlin. -we were asleep and suddenly the room turned very cold. freezing. i woke up and looked over and preston was gone. i... i searched the house, outside... it was as if he evaporated. -come on, clarissa, you're a smart woman, i mean, really. i mean, you have a beautiful home, you're a good citizen, you pay your taxes, you vote, you even play a little golf. you got way too much on the ball to fall for this con man. con man ? you think i'm gullible ? -he's a brilliant man. he saved my life. when we first met, i was very ill. it was cancer and he cured it. really ? -how'd he do that ? he knows how to prevent human cells from dying. he has injections. they're, they're radioactive. hospitals won't do it because it would make everyone well. -it would put them out of business. do you really think he's 4,000 years old ? here. let me show you something. look at this. -he's 42. he claims he's a nutritionist. he's not. and look. look at all these schools and labs he said he went to. -they never heard of him. he has no place of business, no job. he just preys on vulnerable women. he got shannon turner to kill his wife for him. got you to give him money. -he never asked for it. i wanted to give it to him. you would have done anything for him, whether he asked for it or not. do you have any idea how beautiful you are ? i mean really, really, really beautiful. -more so every day. that's because you cured me. i-i-i've never felt better or happier. you know, i didn't want to alarm you, but they put an implant in you. they do it while you're sleeping so they can manipulate your thoughts. -my injections disabled it. you're not only cancer-free, you're free of their control. oh, my god. how am i ever going to be able to thank you ? you drove him out to mccade, you dropped him off, you brought back his clothes. -the evidence is all over your car. he loved me. he used you, just like he used everybody. if they were trying to clean up all the blood, they did a good job. steam cleaner tested positive for blood, but there wasn't enough for dna. -did you find anything ? funny you should ask. found a hair in the brushes. it's on the left. the one on the right is chyna de vere's. -they're both chyna's. hey, so... that steam cleaner was completely wiped down, couldn't find any prints. but then i remembered this story about a csi down in i.a. nobody could find any prints on a gas can from an arson, but he realized that you got to grip it underneath in order to pour out the gas. and you know what ? -he broke the case. so whose prints are on the steam cleaner ? i just got an afis hit : preston de vere. you have a destiny. -you were chosen. you are a protector of mankind. have no fear. cut off her tail, she lives. cut off her head, she dies. -no problem. it wasn't a reptilian conspiracy, but it was a conspiracy. men are snakes. so we checked chyna's bank account. she had a tidy little inheritance until she met you. -chyna was sucking the life out of me. she deserved none of what she wanted and all of what she got in the end. i'm glad it took a long time for her to die. i can only imagine the pain. you know, every time i think about leaving this job, a guy like you comes along and reminds me why i can't. -history is replete with stories of the heroic destruction of serpents. perseus and medusa, st.george and the dragon, st.patrick and the snakes of ireland. these are not merely legends. these are accounts of battles for the survival of the human race, -a battle we will lose unless we stop killing one another and focus on the real enemies. they are among us. sous-titres : abra cadaver team disrobe, please, and put this gown on. -god, it's cold in here. now, fill this bottle. i don't think i can fill the whole thing. you certainly look like you can. oh. -thank you. i'll do the best i can. god, it's cold in here. i filled it up. that's a good boy. -thank you. well, hand me the bottle. could i hold on to it a little longer? it keeps my hands warm. hello. -hello, is this x-ray? step up here. stand still. hold your breath. and you will not speak. -god, it's dark. well, you're lucky, 'cause i'm ugly. now, you will drink this down without stopping. ah! god! -are you sure this isn't the bottle i just filled? no jokes, please. all right! here we go. i'm upside down! -i'm turning upside down! ah, yeah. don't be alarmed. now, i am just going to insert this tube. insert what tube? -don't insert... i don't... i can't see, it's dark. insert the tube where? where? -ahhh! that's where. just let it fill your lower abdomen. i can't hold it. i can't hold it. -well, think of it as a contest. i'm losing the contest. i can't hold it! i tell you, i can't hold it! ahhh! -ahhh! ohhh, schweinhund! ¶ now, here's another fine mess i'm into, honey ¶ a little bit sad and a little bit funny ¶ sit and listen if you wanna know the score -¶ it's a story that you've probably heard before ¶ it's the same thing ali macgraw had in love story, isn't it? no. see, what you have is a toxic blood disease. if i remember correctly, miss macgraw had, uh, leukemia. -yeah, but i wind up the same way. dead. now, i didn't say that, mr. lawson. you didn't have to say it. you don't have to be afraid to say it, dr. krugman. -you've had the biopsies, you've had the blood tests, you've had the spinal taps. i've been to three doctors. how long have i got? it's really very difficult to say. try. -well, you see, it's difficult to say because there's always a chance that there's some doctor working somewhere, in some little lab who may find a cure. look, i'm not talking about some miracle. now, barring some miracle, i'm a big man. i'm a strong guy. -you know what i mean? i can handle it. now just tell me. how long have i got? i'd say you've got a year. -ahhh! oh, my god! no! oh, i can't believe it. oh, a year left. -i can't believe it. ahhh, ahhh! ahh, shit! oh, what's the shortest? i've seen some of these cases go in three months. -ohhh, shit. i've got three months to live. well, you can say you've got three months to live if you choose to look at this thing at, well, it's most, most negative level. well, that's the way i choose to look at it. at the most negative level! -that's where i'm the most comfortable! the most negative level! i don't even feel sick. i mean, i... i feel sick, but i don't feel like i'm dying. -i mean, i feel lousy, but i don't feel like i'm dying. you know what i mean? i mean, people kept telling me, "jesus, you're losing so much weight. you look great!" -"god, you look great! you're losing so much weight!" i mean, i do look good. don't i look good? you look good. -you look very good. i think you're going through a period of remission. you know, people frequently take on an almost glowing quality. just before they die. you know, what i don't understand is, why didn't you call your own doctor sooner? -i mean, surely you must have known that you were quite ill for some time. i... i thought i'd discovered some new way of losing weight. throwing up. throwing, throwing up's no good. -that's not good. you can't keep that up. it's going to get worse, isn't it? yeah. you see, unfortunately, as the disease progresses, the pain increases. -i'm very curious. how do you feel right now? well, i don't have a headache today. i didn't have one yesterday. i... -my stomach is kind of bad on me. on a scale from one to ten, i'd say it's about a six. you, you rate the pain? that's interesting. that's really interesting. -you talk about pain. we had a guy, came in this office. a patient of mine, about two or three years ago. never mind. any, anyway, we have, ah... -we have wonderful drugs. we really have miraculous drugs now for pain. really make you feel good. what we're gonna do is, we're gonna give you bone marrow injections. perhaps tie off some veins, and maybe... -maybe we'll remove your spleen. no. no! no! you're not gonna remove nothing. -i haven't had much dignity in my life. but i'm gonna have some dignity in my death. i'm not gonna tell anybody about this, see. i'm not gonna tell my mother or my father. i'm not gonna tell my little daughter, julie. -nobody's gonna know that i'm gonna die! nobody! damn it. sorry. you were saying. -you just gotta tell me one thing. i mean... what's it gonna be like at the very end? oh, wow. you're really not making it easy on me. -oh, sorry! i'm sorry. okay. all right, in the final stages you, of course, will be hospitalized. you will experience a great deal of shortness of breath. -severe cramps. and, uh, a great deal of, uh, hemorrhaging. great deal. mr. lawson, you forgot to make another appointment. mr. lawson. -mr. lawson? ¶ here's another fine mess i'm into, honey ¶ they won't cut me loose, not for love nor money ¶ i'm a fighter but they've got me on the floor ¶ don't believe i'm going to take this anymore -¶ well, here's another fine mess i've stumbled into ¶ as sorry a state as i've ever been to ¶ though it's difficult for some to understand ¶ i'm going to knuckle down and take it like a man pronounced dead by a rotten corporation. -¶ i'm going to knuckle down and take it like a man ¶ i can't see. i can't see. i got something in my eye. yuck! -hey. what'd he die of? what, are you crazy? get outta here. sir? -sir? ma'am? what'd he die of? you can have a little dignity. i might have been a customer! -you're gonna be in about two seconds. oh, god. the corpse slammed against the door! excuse me, kid. do you know where can, uh, talk to a priest? -i'm a priest. oh. really. i am. no, i believe you. -i think. says so on my driver's license. well, that's all right. it's just that you look so young. yeah. -yeah. i made a decision to serve god right after i got out of high school. oh, that's nice. you got the calling, huh? naw. -it was more like a whisper. nothing like you see in the movies. i love movies. that's very interesting. very interesting. -sir? yeah. if you'd like an older priest... no, no, no, that's okay... they call you father, fa... -uh... father, what? benson. father benson. i'd, uh... -i'd like to make a confession. really? yes. gee. i haven't heard many confessions. -as a matter of fact, you'd be about my first. your first? in the field, i mean. yes. you see, we used to practice on our friends back at the seminary. -they all had such crummy little sins. barely worth confessing. maybe you should have a priest with a little more experience. what do you think?

-oh. that would work. you're not so crazy. tut, tut, tut, marlon. tut, tut, tut, marlon. -you've been making up your own visiting hours again. get away from me with that thing! you're to come with me, mr. lawson. just think of it as a polish dinner jacket. oh, oh. -don't, don't say polish to him. he's very sensitive about it. you shouldn't do that. ah! ha! -gotcha. ah! ah! don't hurt me, james! get away from me, you little dwarf. -i usually escape every wednesday and friday, mr. lawson. sonny. uh. sonny. he's my friend. -wait a minute. he's my friend. wait a minute. he's my friend. wait. -wait. yuck. home, james. watson. oh, doctor, sonny's gonna try it again. -he likes to get his way, you know. just set your mind at ease, mrs. lawson. these rooms were designed to house attempted suicides. the windows are barred. there are no cords or sharp objects in the room. -there's constant surveillance. there's no way he could possibly hurt himself in here. i see. oh. oh, shit. -the bed. oh, my god! gentlemen! out with the old dangerous beds. in with the new safe beds. -out with the old dangerous beds. good to see you. sonny, listen. i know that you're suffering from depression as much as your illness. now, when your depression goes away... -of course i'm depressed! i'm gonna shrivel up and turn yellow. think the idea of looking like an old jap makes me cheerful? just calm down, okay? it's all right. -it's all right. i don't want to calm down! what's he doing? i don't want to calm down! god knows i've only got a couple more days to live. -oh, that's bullshit, too, sonny. we spoke to your doctor. he said you're not gonna die right away. sonny, why do you always have to rush everything? i don't want to rush everything. -i think the courts may decide very soon that i'm not rational enough to make any decisions. and they'll assign some turkey like you to make them for me. i don't think that's it. i'm sorry. that's okay. -sorry. ah, it's okay. i don't deserve to die, either. i need to talk to you alone, jessie. sonny, i don't think so. -please, jessie... please. please. uh... that's okay. -that's okay. look, sonny, i'll, uh... i'll... i'll wait down here. listen, i'm your friend. -i love you. i'll do anything for you. i'll be your slave. i'll... i'll get you girls. -oh, i'm... i'm sorry, jessie. it's just... it's okay. i just can't sign that release. -it's okay, marty. just, uh, just wait down at the end of the hall. and i love ya, marty. down here? okay. -please, will you go in the room with me, jess? all right. oh, hi. hi. how's... -how's it going? hello. good to see you, too. wait a minute. i want to get some more. -hey! hi. hi. how's it going? get me outta here! -i'm going wacko! sonny, i understand what you're going through. you don't understand! you won't understand until you've been pronounced dead! well, i'm trying to understand. -well, you're doing a lousy job! sonny, i don't want to see you kill yourself. it would be a burden i would carry for the rest of my life. don't you understand? if i let you take your life, it would make my life meaningless. -tell me you understand that. jessie? what? you're a selfish bitch. jessie, i'm sorry. -i'm sorry. i'm sorry. you're just a wife. you're not a selfish bitch. you are a sexist ass, right to the last. -i know. i'm sorry. i'm just trying to be nice. just trying to be nice, that's all. sonny. -sonny. forget it. we've forgotten how to be nice to each other. well, we should try harder. we should try to be nice to each other. -let's try to be nice to each other, okay? okay, okay. sign me outta here. oh, sonny. now, come on. -i've had enough of this. now, okay. maybe, maybe i ca... can't imagine how you feel, but can you imagine how i feel? no. -sonny, listen. suppose i wanted to kill myself, would you let me? you mean if you were gonna die? yeah. of course i would. -you really would? well, you were in a lot of pain. aw, sonny. no. no, i wouldn't. -i wouldn't, jessie, i wouldn't. oh, sonny. aw, sonny. aw, jessie. people tend to coddle or cover up things when someone they love is ill. -makes 'em feel better. screw 'em. screw 'em. screw 'em. one of the worst aspects of dying is that you're so alone. -oh, god, you're so alone. so alone. people are unable or afraid to share your grief. they'll never be able to imagine how alone you are, doctor. i don't have to imagine it. -i'm dying, too. you're dying, too? yup. the doctors told me i can go any time. just like that. -of course, they told me that about two years ago. you seem so alive. strange, isn't it? i'm not always this robust. right now i seem to be in a period of total remission. -even played tennis today. did you win? no, i played shitty. but then, i also played shitty when i was well. what, uh, what's wrong with you? -heart trouble. lots and lots of heart trouble. i'm not taking your, uh, therapy group. some people in my therapy group are really close to kickin' the bucket. you're gonna love 'em. -i'm committing suicide, remember? you're sure having a hard time doing it. that's because nobody'll leave me alone. either that, or you really don't want to do it. i want to do it. -i want to commit suicide. i'm in love with the idea of killing myself. when i think about killing myself, i get a hard-on. i'm sure there's a part of you that thinks of it as a romantic notion. but there's another part of you that feels guilty for taking your own life. -that's psychological bullshit. i don't feel guilty about anything. then why did your suicide letter to your daughter begin with, uh, an apology? "dear julie, daddy is so sorry for what he's about to do." gimme that! -son of a bitch! i'll punch you dead. aw, shit! feel better? no! -you don't play fair! stakes are high. life and death. want to punch the scale? yeah! -no! yeah. shit. i mean, they... they shoot horses when they're miserable, don't they? -ow! you see, i'm terrified of pain. pain hurts me. sonny, what makes you so convinced your death is gonna be painful? have you ever actually seen someone die? -haircuts hurt me. people should die at home. yeah? well, that'd be kinda difficult with me. you see, -i mean, hustling from my house to my ex-wife's house to my girlfriend's house... hell, i'd be dyin' in a taxi cab. are your parents alive, sonny? no. yeah. -they're alive. i guess that's called a freudian slip, huh? either that or a boo-boo. why don't you come to at least one death therapy session? just sitting around talking to people like yourself can make death less scary. -maybe even meaningful. i don't think so, doc. okay. i'll let you out of here. but want you to at least read a pamphlet, okay? -okay. ¶ you are my sunshine do, do, do, do, do ¶ oh. oh. oh, oh, boy, i'll tell you something. -you're the happiest son of a bitch i've ever seen. jumping up and down, and whistling like that. i mean, i'm gonna die, you're gonna die, and you're jumping up and down and whistling. i'm with you. really? -yeah. that's a good decision, sonny. now listen, you're a great salesman. don't back out on me. i'm not going anywhere. -uh... doc? what did you do to him? i liked him. sonny. -hiya, sonny. hi, marlon. hi. hi. how did you escape? -oh, oh. yeah, i escaped. how'd ya do it? i forgot. oh. -i always forget a lot of things as soon as i do them. yeah, well, you're lucky. about what? about forgetting. i know. -there's a lot of crazy people around here. did you hear about what happened to me with the bed? i heard about what happened to you with the bed. it hurt my head, though. you shouldn't have listened to me. -out of the mouths of polacks ofttimes comes caca. don't put yourself down for being polish. one of my favorite people is polish. yeah, who? you. -aw... but it did hurt. good. no. not good. -i don't like pain. i would like to find a way of doing myself in without hurting myself. oh, you don't want hurt. you got a lot of rules about dying, too. yeah. -i always thought jumping out a window would be completely painless. you know, until you landed. then it would be very painful. one thing about it, you couldn't change your mind once you started. no. -geronimo! boohoo! except all the windows around here got bars on 'em. yeah, they all have bars except the tower. the tower? -hmm. where's the tower? here it is. the tower. i love high places. -yeah, i'm not crazy about 'em. well, it's got a ledge, huh? yeah. just like in the movies. yeah. -it'll give you some place to stand on and i can cheer you on. yeah. okay, sonny. jump. don't be so anxious! -i'm sorry. i thought that's what you really wanted. well, uh, i am... but... uh, it just doesn't seem high enough. -oh, sure it's high enough! you sure? oh, sure. only one way to find out. will you stop! -will you stop! i'm gonna do it, i'm gonna do it. i just gotta work myself up to it gradually, ya know what i mean? you know, you'll never get hurt if you crawl down. don't talk to me like that. -i'm the one that's doing it. okay. i'm the one that's gotta do it. okay. all right. -you're very brave. i am brave. okay. i gotcha. all right. -now listen. let me take a look. yeah. before i go. okay? -okay. it ain't high enough. what're you talking about? sure it's high. it ain't high enough! -if i fall and i land on my feet, i'll break my ankles and i'll have broken ankles and a toxic blood disease, both. oh, yeah. hey, wait a minute! wait a minute! -i've got an idea! what? drop you on your head! no, you drop me on my head and you'll be a murderer. oh, my god, a murderer! -yeah. what're you talkin' about, i'm already a murderer. that's right. you are a murderer. are you sure you want to take that kind of responsibility? -huh? did you mean it when you said you liked me? i like ya! i like ya! then i want to help my friend. -okay. pull me in. okay. pull me in. then can drop you on your head? -yes! oh, that's good. okay. here you go. oh, this is going to be good. -okay, now, let me get your feet. okay. just, easy does it. don't worry. okay. -now wait a minute. i gotta do this slow. okay. you know what i mean? i understand. -don't... let's not rush into this. all right. i'm here. okay? -i'll let you go whenever you tell me. yeah. i'm just gonna lean back and then i'll go, right? point your head down. point my head down. -yes. yeah! don't. wait a minute. just gotta get ready. -here i go. okay, okay. all right. let me know when you're down! oh, my god. -no! shall i let you go? no! uh, oh! wait a minute... -why? because it ain't high enough! good for me! it isn't high enough! huh? -pull me back. no. pull me back up! i don't think so. god damn it, pull me back! -okay! okay. why did you pull me back? why did you pull me back? you said... -i don't have enough courage! i don't have enough guts! that's why you're here! i can't do it by myself! i'd be dead now! -if you hadn't pulled me back, i'd be dead now and it'd be over! i'm a failure. you said it. shut up! all right. -wait a minute. i got an idea. yeah. i got an idea. oh, please tell me what, anything. -all right. i'll sit up here. you get over there. yeah. i get over there. -you get running like a bull. i'll have my back to you. push you! you push me. i'll go. -oh. what a good idea. thanks so much. huh?

-okay. on second thought... you're right, sonny! it's not high enough! they mate for life, you know. -you're kidding. oh, sure. i wish i was dead. oh, and you would be, too, if it wasn't for my dumb ideas. oh, don't put yourself down, marlon. -you're right. why waste time talking about a piece of shit like me? ooh! i almost forgot. i got ya something. -oh, a present? a present for you. that's very nice, marlon. you didn't need to do that. oh, i hope you like it. -very sweet. uh... you like the color? yeah. hanging. -yeah. and the beauty part is you don't have to do anything. you just have to stand there. i'll do the rest. i wonder if it hurts. -you see, hanging is very simple. it's clean, it's neat, and it's very economical. i mean you... you... you don't spend any money with the rope. -you see, it' s just the cost of the rope. that's why these things become traditional. but i wonder if it hurts. marlon. marlon. -shouldn't you have a horse? what? now wait a minute. it's very simple. all right. -what? i just step out from under you and you'll be hung. don't... don't ya understand? what? -yeah. you wanna horse. is that what you said? i said... yes. -a horse?

i'm not going to hospitals anymore. i'm not going anywhere where they have any control over your life or your death. what're you looking for? my clothes. -where are they? here're your clothes. i ironed 'em. it's not my clothes i'm looking for and you know it. i hid it! -you're never gonna find it. you're not even warm. ah-ha! exactly where i thought it would be, hidden under the cat crap. i'm gonna call the police. -don't touch that phone. i'll shoot... myself. that's right, baby. put down that phone or i'll splatter my brains all over these walls. -of course, on these walls, who would notice?

yes. i feel that maybe, if i'd... if i'd done something different, -i don't know... if i'd... if i'd have loved you a little bit more... maybe you wouldn't be dying! maybe it's all my fault! -maybe i caused it. oh, don't be silly, mary ellen. you can't give somebody a blood disease. that's a gift from god. if i could've just loved you a little bit more. -nah... no, don't think you could've done anything, mary ellen. well, maybe if you'd just come one time. no, actually, you did everything you could, mary ellen. no. -you did everything you could. i mean... no, i didn't. you did, you did. i got more out of the relationship than you did, with all my bitchin' and moaning. -i got more out of the relationship 'cause i loved you. i loved you completely. and you never did really love me completely and... and i was always fascinated by that. do you know what i mean? -no. it's like me, i mean, if you think about it. i mean, think that's why i just kept, you know, hanging on and hanging on. doesn't that sound like me? yeah. -it does sound like you. i'll tell you something else, mary ellen. with all this shit, all this shit, you always turned me on. always. that's something, isn't it? -yeah. well... doesn't that make you kinda... understand a... a little bit better what i want to do? -i mean... suicide? i think i'm starting to understand. i do. maybe it means i'm growing up. -i guess i've just been selfish, wanting to keep you around a little bit longer. hell. sonny, you do what you have to do. you mean i can do it? i can kill myself? -aw. oh, baby. but if you really love me... oh... sonny, god, you drive me crazy! -always picking on me! i can't do anything right. i never can do anything right! i gotta go. i can't let you go. -i gotta go. i gotta go off somewhere and swallow lead. i have to tell you something first. what?

'cause he ain't got what he needs. i'm guessing that'd be desmond. that's where we were headed before your inauguration. sayid said locke tossed him in a well. -jacob didn't say anything to me about desmond. doesn't sound like he said anything about anything. that's kinda true, dude. he's worse than yoda. all right, y'all head to your heart of the island, and i'll go get the magic leprechaun out of that well. -if we leave a trail, can you catch up with us? hell, yeah, i can. then be safe.

(lock turns) -(creaks) (alcohol swishes) "do no disturb" sign. who are you? why you grinnin' like a sodding idiot? -(alcohol swishes) uh, you have a concert to perform tonight, and i'm here to pick you up. didn't i make it clear to widmore's other monkey? i don't care about a sodding concert. charlie... -charlie, what if i told you that... playing this show is the most important thing you'll ever do? would you come then? sod off. okay, dude. sorry about this. (click) -(gate whooshes) (thud) (gate closes) what was that? that was charlie. -(starts engine) (kate panting) why did you take the job, jack? because i was supposed to. why? -because some stranger wrote our names on a wall? i took it because the island's all i've got left. it's the only thing in my life i haven't managed to ruin. you haven't ruined anything. nothing is irreversible. -this would be so sweet if we weren't all about to die. (birds squawking and chirping) (rifle cocks) as long as you're watching, why don't you join us? what are you doing here, james? -i heard desmond fell in the well, so i came to help him get out. looks like somebody beat us both to the punch. oh, well. do you know why i'm here? i'm guessing you need desmond to destroy the island. -that's absolutely right. then what, smokey? you going down with the ship? suicide doesn't seem like your style. i'm not going down with anything. -but you and the rest of jacob's little "candidates" absolutely are. we're not candidates anymore. ohh! oh! aah. -i'll be seein' ya. (grunts) you're not gonna go after him? i don't need to. when you said you were gonna destroy the island, i thought you were speaking figuratively. -because i said i'd leave you in charge once i was gone? i'm sorry if i left out the part about the island being on the bottom of the ocean. that being said, you're welcome to join me on my boat. because once we get desmond to do what we need him to do, i'm gonna sail away from this godforsaken place and watch it sink. -i think there was a dog here. (barks) (panting) (groans softly) morning. -(grunts) morning. sleep okay? aye. your camp's a lot nicer than the bottom of a well. -(chuckles) i think i'm gonna go ahead and take that as a compliment. are you gonna talk his ear off, or you gonna get the man some breakfast? guess i'll go check the traps for fish. come on. vincent. -(whistles) let's go. so, rose, tell me... how long have the two of you been living here? well, we built this place in '75, and... lived here a couple of years, and then the sky lit up again. so god only knows when in the hell we are now. -(chuckles) so... (sighs) desmond... i don't mean to be rude, but after you eat, i'm gonna ask you to move on. we broke our rule with you. -what rule is that? we don't get involved. whatever got you tossed inside a well... that's the kind of drama bernard and i don't want to have anything to do with. fair enough. (vincent barks, footsteps approach) -(panting) looks like you caught something. i'm sorry. hello, rose. (blade whooshes) -i'll make this simple. come with me now or i'll kill them both right in front of you. you don't have to go anywhere with him. i'll make it hurt. i want your word you won't touch them. -ever. done. then i'll do what you want. yes, desmond. you will. -(birds squawking and chirping) (thunder rumbling) you have any idea where i'm taking you, desmond? no. but i assume it's a place where there's a very bright light. -what makes you say that? oh... just a hunch. (radio static crackles) what was that? what was what? -linus, can you hear me? come in. (static crackles) i found alpert. (static crackles) -linus? (whispers) damn it. (richard groans) you okay? what... what... what happened? -(grunts) you thought it'd be a good idea to talk to the black smoke. it responded by throwing you into the damn jungle. locke. i... is he still here? -no. here. (groaning) i've been trying to get linus on the walkie. he won't pick up. come on. -let's get you some help. help? help? help from where? you still have the explosives? -the... the c-4? yeah. why? because we need to go to the other island and finish what we started. we need to blow up that plane. -(indistinct conversations) (engine shuts off) (indistinct conversations continue) (car door shuts, engine starts) (telephone rings) -detective ford. jim, it's me. i think i just saw that jarrah guy. you at county lockup? no, i'm at my dad's museum concert benefit thing. -well, it can't be jarrah. i just put him in a van to county an hour ago. really? because i just called, and they said it never showed up. what? -help me out here, jim. jarrah popped four people in cold blood. only one witness left the scene alive, right? some korean woman. can you make sure she's okay? -yeah, yeah. sun paik. gunshot wound. she's still over at the hospital. enjoy your concert, enos. -i'll keep her safe. (monitor beeping steadily, man speaking indistinctly) (woman speaking indistinctly over p.a.) (speaking korean) (speaking korean) -(door opens) am i interrupting? (indistinct conversations in distance) hi. (door closes) ms. paik, i'm juliet carlson. i'm here to make sure your baby's okay. -you must be the daddy. (papers rustle) i'm sorry. you don't speak english. i'm... -i'll try not to talk too much. (typing) (beep) okay, you lift up your gown a little bit. it's a little cold. (clatter) -okay. let's take a look. (low magnetic zaps) (low magnetic zaps) (gasps) -okay? there it is. (whooshing) there's your baby. (gasps) (low magnetic zap) -* (low magnetic zap) * (low magnetic zap) (grunts softly) -do you see that little flutter? right there? (cries) that's the baby's heartbeat. perfectly perfect in every way. -(beep) i have your amnio results. everything checked out. would you lie to know if it's a boy or a girl? it's a girl. -(whispers) yeah. her name is ji yeon. that's a lovely name. and for the record, y... you two speak english just fine. (both chuckle) -congratulations. (laughs) (door opens and closes) whoa! easy, bigfoot. it's just me. -i found locke. son of a bitch said he's gonna destroy the island. you had it right, doc. good news is, desmond got out of that well, so if we can find him before smokey can... -it doesn't matter if we find desmond or he does, james. we're all going to the same place anyway. then what? then it ends. hello, mr. locke. -dr. shephard. hey, since you're about to open up my back, you can probably start calling me john. okay, john. (chuckles) i thought i'd stop by and say hi before we started the anesthesia. you nervous? -are you sure this is gonna work? yes. i'm very confident that it will. really? well, there's always the chance that i could kill you... (laughing) -but i'm trying to make you feel better. (laughs) okay. okay, let's do it. all right. i'll see you on the other side. -hey, doctor, back at i.a.x., when we met at baggage claim, you mentioned that they had lost your father. did he ever turn up? as a matter of fact, i got a phone call this morning. they, uh, they found the coffin. oh, good. -actually, it might be here already. well, i hope that brings you some peace. if i can fix you, mr. locke, that's all the peace i'll need. (thunderclap) (thunder rumbling in distance) -that's gonna be a hell of a storm. welcome to the club. what? you mind? looks like you got your first gray hair. -what are you smiling about? i think i just realized that i want to live. it's good timing. (loud thud) what was that? -(man) help! hey! hey! miles, up ahead! hey! -(thunder rumbles) (grunts) (whispers) ohh. get him some water. what are you guys doing out here? -we're going to hydra island to blow up a plane. (grunts) what do you want to do that for? because the black smoke wants to get off the island, and we have to stop that thing from leaving. well, if we leave, that thing won't have a plane anymore. yeah, and how are we gonna do that? -in case you haven't noticed, i'm a pilot. (laughs) (birds squawking and chirping) well, this is gonna be interesting. kate! -kate! you killed them! kate! that's it. that's it. -you might wanna save your bullets. so it's you. yeah, it's me. jacob being who he is, i expected to be a little more surprised. you're sort of the obvious choice, -don't you think? he didn't choose me. i volunteered. i assume you're here to stop me. i can't stop you. -in fact, i, uh, i wanna go with you. i'm sorry, jack. i think you're a little confused about what i came here to do. no, i'm not. no, you're going to the far side of the bamboo forest... to the place that i've sworn that i'll protect. -and then you think you're gonna destroy the island. i "think"? that's right, because that's not what's gonna happen. then what's gonna happen, jack? i'm gonna kill you. -how do you plan to do that? it's a surprise. okay. then let's get on with it. doctor. -doctor. i didn't know you were working today. i just finished. did you get the tickets for the concert? yeah. -right here. y, dad, did you remember the tickets? i just gave them to your mom. uh, who's gonna take yours? well, if you don't have anybody else, maybe you could take aunt claire. -i'm sure she'd love to get out of the house. oh, yeah. it's fine with me. in fact, i'm very curious to meet this mysterious sister you never mentioned the entire time we were married. well, i'm sure you're gonna love her. -she's extremely pregnant. (chuckles) (chuckles) good luck on your surgery, doctor. (jack) thank you. did you pick out a tie? -i did. nice. (elevator bell dings) sorry. (telephone ringing) hi. -i'm detective ford, i.a.p.d. mm-hmm. i'm looking for a patient's room... sun paik. (thunder rumbling, birds squawking and chirping) -(sawyer) something you wanna share with the rest of us, doc? what's that? you said you were gonna kill locke. what's your surprise? desmond. -and how's that gonna work? i'm not sure yet. i can't believe jacob would've brought him all the way back to this island just so locke could make him destroy it. so what? desmond's bait? -no. i think he's a weapon. that's a hell of a long con, doc. (thunder continues rumbling) (blade whooshes) -jack, desmond... it should just be the three of us from here on. jack. i believe in you, dude. (thunderclap) it's gonna be a bad one. -we're here. this doesn't matter, you know. excuse me? him destroying the island, you destroying him... it doesn't matter. i mean, you're gonna lower me into that light, and i'm gonna go somewhere else... a place where we can be with the ones that we love and not have to ever think about this damn island again. -and you know the best part, jack? what? you're in this place. you know, we sat next to each other on oceanic 815. it never crashed. -we spoke to each other. you seemed happy. you know, maybe i can find a way to bring you there, too. desmond, i tried that once. there are no shortcuts, no do-overs. -what happened, happened. trust me, i know. all of this matters. shall we? (motorcycle revving in distance) -what are we doing here? (siren wailing in distance) i'm not allowed to tell you. what do you mean, you're "not allowed"? there are rules, dude. -whose rules? don't worry about it. just trust me, okay? i trust you. and what, may i ask, have i done to deserve your trust? -i think you're a good guy, sayid. i know a lot of people have told you that you're not. maybe you've heard it so many times you started believing it. but you can't let other people tell you what you are, dude. you have to decide that for yourself. -i'm sorry. you clearly don't know anything about me. i know a lot about you, dude. (punches landing, men grunting) (groans) -ohh! looks like a gnarly fight. (grunting) (punches continue landing) (woman) hey, leave my brother alone! -(man groans) (woman) uhh! (can clatters) (grunts) aah! uhh! -hey, it's all right. (low magnetic zaps) (low magnetic zap) (low magnetic zap) sayid. -shannon. i just got pounded, man. thanks for taking your sweet time. it takes as long as it takes. it was a pain in the ass getting her here from australia. -yeah. but, dude? it was worth it. should i go get 'em? nah. -let's give 'em a minute. (water streaming) (radio static crackling) (miles) linus, are you there? what the hell's that? -miles, where are you? we just got to hydra island. we're on our way to the plane. miles, listen to me. whatever you do, don't blow up that plane! -we're not gonna blow it up. we're gonna fly it the hell off the island. just get over here now! what in the hell? claire. -miles, it's kate. did you say "claire"? is she okay? (miles) put the gun down. (gunshot) (gunshot) don't come any closer! -miles? (static crackles) miles, what happened? miles, are you there? he sent you to kill me, didn't he? no, listen. -we're not with locke. why should i believe you? because we have a real chance to get far, far away from him. we can be free of everything he ever did to us and never look back. we can go home. -will you come with us, claire? no. all right, we... we lower him down nice and easy. you know what to do once you get down there? aye. -i'll go where the light's brightest. don't get yourself killed. this remind you of anything, jack? (panting) what? desmond... going down into a hole in the ground. -if there was a button down there to push, we could fight about whether or not to push it. it'd be just like old times. (pants) you're not john locke. you disrespect his memory by wearing his face, but you're nothing like him. turns out he was right about most everything. -i just wish i could've told him that while he was still alive. he wasn't right about anything, jack. and when this island drops into the ocean, and you drop with it, you're finally gonna realize that. (grunts) well, we'll just have to see which one of us is right, then. -(string quartet playing) (pager beeps) (speaking indistinctly) (beep) oh. it's the hospital. go ahead. -i'm sure it's important. i am so sorry. i will be back as soon as i can. i know. it's cool. -go. we'll get to know each other better, i hope? okay. yeah. yeah, yeah, for sure. -well, i, uh, i guess it's just you and me, kid. (footsteps approach) oy. wake up. wake up. -come on. wake up. (grunts) what are you doin'? i'm just following the instructions. -you're in the band, aren't you? how do you know that? oh. (grunts) i was shot by a fat man. (groans) -(clatter) it's all right. (sighs) excuse me. hey, excuse me. do you know where the band is? -i'm sorry. uh, pardon me? i... i think he's in the band. yes, yes. -of course. he's the bass player from drive shaft. they're accompanying me tonight. i play piano. (chuckles) -i'm daniel. daniel widmore. i'm charlotte. it's a great pleasure to meet you, charlotte. you, too. -(claire) well, lead the way. (giggles) (indistinct conversations) excuse me. is this table 23? aye. -indeed it is. claire? i... you two know each other? (amplified voice) good evening, ladies and gentlemen. -may i have your attention, please? welcome to this very special benefit concert for the golden state natural history museum. i'm dr. pierre chang. thank you. i think we have quite a special evening ahead of us. -so let's get to it, shall we? (laughter) it is my pleasure to introduce you to mr. daniel widmore, accompanied by drive shaft. (cheering) (woman screaming, cheering continues) (playing classical music) -mm. you okay? yeah. yeah, i'm just... i'm just gonna use the bathroom. -i'll... i'll be right back. * (rattling) (magnetic humming) -aah!

(voice echoing) no! -it looks like... you were wrong. good-bye, jack. (loud rumbling continues) (rumbling stops) uhh! (both grunting) -(panting) looks like you were wrong, too. (choking) uhh! (inhaling and exhaling sharply) -(grunts) um, hello? hello? hi. uh, do you know where the bathroom is? mm! -ohh! (panting) (grunting) uh, can you please get a doctor? (exhales sharply) small world, huh? -yeah, well, what are you doing... mm! okay. oh! okay. okay. -it's okay. come on. sit down. um, i... i think he's coming. -* (lowered voice) i thought i made it clear that you were to stop this. perfectly clear. i chose to ignore you. and once they know... what then? -then? we're leaving. (voice breaks) are you going to take my son? not with me. no. -uhh! (cries) (gasping) just breathe, okay? just breathe, breathe, breathe. help is on the way. -mnh-mnh! it's hap... it's happening, like... like, right now. right now? (whimpering) -um...

"god, you look great. you're losing so much weight!" -i do look good. don't i look good? you look good. you look very good. i think you're going through -a period of remission. you know, people frequently take on an almost glowing quality... just before they die. i don't understand -why you didn't call your own doctor sooner. surely, you must have known that you were quite ill for some time. i thought i discovered a new way to lose weight- throwing up. -throwing up's no good. that's not good. you can't keep that up. it's gonna get worse, isn't it? yeah. -unfortunately, as the disease progresses, the pain increases. i'm very curious. how do you feel right now? -i don't have a headache today. i didn't have one yesterday. my stomach is kind of bad. on a scale from 1 to 10, it's about a 6. you rate the pain?

i won't tell my mother or my father. -not gonna tell my little daughter julie. nobody will know that i'm going to die. nobody! damn! sorry. -you were saying. just tell me one thing. what's it gonna be like at the very end? oh, well... you're really not making it easy on me. -i'm sorry! i'm sorry! ok. all right. in the final stages, -you will be hospitalized. you will experience a great deal of shortness of breath, severe cramps, and a great deal of hemorrhaging. -a great deal. you forgot to make another appointment. mr. lawson! mr. lawson! here's another fine mess i'm into, honey they won't cut me loose, not for love nor money -i'm a fighter, but they got me on the floor don't believe i'm gonna take this anymore here's another fine mess i've stumbled into as sorry a state as i've ever been to though it's difficult for some to understand i'm gonna knuckle down and take it like a man pronounced dead by a rotten corporation. i'm gonna knuckle down and take it like a man -excuse me, excuse me. excu- i got something in my eye. uggh. hey! -what did he die of?

i'm a priest. -oh. really. i am. no, i believe you. i think. -it's on my driver's license. that's all right. it's just that you look so young. young, yes. i made a decision to serve god -right after i got out of high school. oh, that's nice. you got the calling, huh? no, it's more like a whisper. nothing like in the movies. -i love movies. that's very interesting, very interesting. sir? if you'd like an older priest... no, no, that's ok. -do they call you "father," father-what? benson. father benson. i'd, uh... like to make a confession. -really? yes. gee, i haven't heard many confessions. matter of fact, you'd be one of my first. your first? -in the field, i mean. we used to practice on friends at the seminary. they all had such crummy little sins. barely worth confessing. maybe you should have a priest -with a little more experience. father o'hara will be here this afternoon. he's old. look, i don't know how to put this. this is going to be my last confession. -no! yeah. you see, i'm dying. no. you mean like- in dead? -like in dead, yeah. dying, like in dead, right. dying. wow. a lot of people say that father o'hara -looks just like barry fitzgerald... you know, kindly, twinkle in the eyes. i don't want to talk to father o'hara. i want to talk to you. me? -yes. i haven't got that much time. i got to make my confession now, ok? certainly. thank you. -one other thing. i have a hard time calling you "father," father. call me dave, if it is more comfortable. dave. -thanks. after you... my son. bless me, dave, for i have sinned. dave? -yes, i'm still here. think i'd rather call you "father." fine. bless me, father, for i have sinned. how long has it been since your last confession? -last confession i made was... 22 years ago. boy, that's a long time. i was hoping one of us would be good at this. what? i said- -why have you stayed away from god's house? i don't know. i just stopped going to church after i... i sort of lost interest after i discovered fu-sex. -that's when we lose them. i believe in god. don't worry. we all lack faith sometimes. want me to tell you something? -yeah. every day... i have questioned if i made the right decision, becoming a priest. you see, becoming a priest, -that can keep a person from committing sin, sure, but it can't keep a person from lusting after women, craving alcohol, dreaming of screwing a business partner, contemplating going out every night- -this is my dime. do you mind? i'm sorry. thank you. where was i? -um..."bless me." that part. oh, yeah. bless me, father, for i have sinned. among my grievous sins... is jacking off still a sin? -i mean, now? is that still your biggie? it is mine, man. oh, i know. i sell real estate. -that's a sin? the way i sell it, it is. also... also, i... well, the whole time i was married- -when i should have been a good father to my daughter- i was out copulating around with other women. you... you committed adultery during your marriage?

'tailwind' turner will take the baton for the edward hurt team, -and he'll go against larry james of the tuppenny team. announcer: the anchor legs of the race will be run by heathcliff huxtable and charlie stevenson. uh-oh. -larry james has injured his leg. he's struggling to get the baton to charlie stevenson. huxtable moving out to a big lead. wait a minute. there seems to be a substitute for charlie stevenson. -we don't have the name of the runner to run the anchor leg for the tuppenny team. huxtable has a sizeable lead. the anchor for the tuppenny team coming on strong. ladies and gentlemen, she's gonna catch huxtable. -she does it. oh! ladies and gentlemen, we've just discovered the anchor for the tuppenny team is 3-time olympic gold medalist valerie brisco-hooks. -and valerie brisco-hooks crosses the finish line ahead of heathcliff huxtable. the tuppenny team wins the race. you..! i can't believe that i ran against an olympic champion. -i think you should be very proud of yourself. you ran a good race. yes, i did. yes, you did. yes, i did. -my favorite part was the look on your face when you realized it was a woman who had passed you. and then the look on your face -when you realized the woman was valerie briscoe-hooks. well, they had to get a three-time olympic medal winner to beat me. and i want to know why did that woman-- -when she passed me-- pat me on my boom-boom? because she couldn't resist that fine-tuned body. how do you feel about what they did to you? are you kidding? -tailwind set me up so good. i looked at him. i started laughing. i tell you what-- for 30 seconds -i thought the people were cheering for me. and then the next 30 seconds, i knew they were laughing at me. i felt pretty good about it. ( knock ) yes? -who is it? it's rudy. come in. mega-woman wanted to say good night. good night, mega-woman. -and how is mega-woman enjoying her new home? she likes it, but she's lonely. why? she misses mega-boy, mega-girl and mega-man. -well, we don't want mega-woman apart from her family do we? no. so i think that tomorrow... yes? -you and i... yes? will get up and go down to the toy store... yes. and give her back to her family. -no! * our hearts beat in rhythm * * while love, oh, love, pours out * * rising to heights lovers can count * * instrumental bridge * -* we live for just a moment in our secret rendezvous * * sharing an evening in paradise with you * how lovely. how lovely. little jimmy scott. -now where did you find that album? sondra and i discovered it in the record store. i haven't heard "an evening in paradise" in a thousand years. brings it all back. -it sure does. you and i danced to that record every time we heard it at the bluebird club. that's right. 1962. -1960. no, no, no. little jimmy scott recorded "an evening in paradise" in nineteen sixty and two. nineteen sixty and naught. -you are questioning mr. jazz? you might be "mr. jazz" but right now, you are "mr. wrong and bewildered." 1960. would you care to make a wager? -name it and claim it. for the record "cliff huxtable claims "little jimmy scott recorded 'an evening in paradise' in 1962." -state the wager, sir. all right. the loser will... serve the entire dinner tonight and clean up afterwards. -fine. the loser will serve breakfast in bed to the winner... and wash his car tomorrow morning. or her car. or her car? -yes. ha, ha, ha, ha. i'm going to enjoy that. now, let me go check the album. i'll check the album. -no, i'll check it. no, sweetheart. no, darling. what are you doing? give me that. -stop! hey, what's going on? what do you care? we're having fun. denise, come here quickly. -take this album and look at the back... no, no, no. she will cheat. no, she's the impartial judge. what now? -we have a bet going. when was "evening in paradise" recorded? "an evening in paradise"... "evening in paradise." by little jimmy scott... -little jimmy scott. new york city... new york city. april seventh... april seventh. -1960. two. 1960. two, two, two! no, that's a misprint. -oh, my, my. i can taste my breakfast in bed. no, you're not going to... how lovely i will look in my shiny car newly washed by "mr. jazz." -what i meant was we danced in 1962, see. that's what... excuse me. excuse me. let the record show -"cliff huxtable claims "little jimmy scott recorded 'an evening in paradise' in 1962." was it signed by a notary public? i'm a lawyer. -this is perfectly legal. they lie, too, you know. university of california at berkeley. yes, i've been waiting for this one. "dear ms. huxtable -i am pleased to inform you that you are... " oh, wow, i'm accepted! i got in on late admissions. this is fabulous! this is the one i've been waiting for. -you've decided to go to berkeley? i don't know. this is a great school but so are the other ones that accepted me. these schools must hear from you soon. -you'd better decide. i've narrowed it down to four schools- n.y.u. hillman- of course- -the university of north dakota at bismarck... and the university of hawaii. i just want to ask a question. what? i'm sure it's a lovely school, but why north dakota? -because i'm the only person i know who will be going there. what about berkeley? berkeley, that's right. now i've got five to pick from. -these schools have deadlines. i know but this is the most important decision i've ever made. you've gone around with this thing for two weeks. -make a decision. i know. you're right. okay. i've been flaky about this. -what's going to help me is a deadline. by tomorrow night... no, tomorrow morning... tonight after dinner i'm going to give my decision. that's it. -thank you. i feel better now. that's your child. that's your child. sondra, help me. -i just got accepted into berkeley. what should i do? i'm not going to pick your college for you. being an adult means making your own decisions. just tell me which college. -then i'll make my own decisions. no. whatever college you pick i think your going away to school is exciting. if i go to n.y.u., i'm staying right here. -going away to school gives you a sense of independence makes you well-rounded. you want my room, don't you? i didn't think of that. you can't make a logical decision -in such a heightened state of anxiety. give yourself more time. i can't. i've put this off for two weeks. i've heard that when people are confused -and they want to get a clear sense of things they go away. vanessa, you're not helping anything. would you go, please? fine, but remember- -sondra went away to college so you could have your own room. you could do the same for me. can you believe the way she's acting? yes exactly the way you did. -come on. what year did ella fitzgerald record "cottontail"? double or nothing. forget it, cliff. no, double or nothing. -i have already won the bet. why should i make another bet? why? because you don't know, that's why. i don't know? -you don't know. well, i do know what i want for breakfast tomorrow morning at 8:00 when you show up at my door in your best tuxedo. i want crepes with baked apples, raisins, walnuts -slightly sprinkled with cinnamon a linen napkin which you'll tuck under my chin a red rose, opened ever so slightly and betwixt your pearly teeth -the morning newspaper. you're serious? oh, yes. had i won, you know what i would have said? i would have said -"dear, i'd like a bowl of cereal... and a slice of white bread." if you'd won you'd have demanded french toast made with home-baked bread and would have sent me to the park -to tap a tree for fresh maple syrup. you think i'm like that? i know you are. you're correct. ah-hah! -we got sodas and milk. here are your keys. did denise decide on a college while we were gone? about a dozen times. -if she leaves can i paint the room before i move in? if denise leaves dad's turning her room into a den. what? -! vanessa, theo's joking. right. we're turning it into a bowling alley. dad, i don't think this is fair. -she's dragged this thing out for weeks. choosing a college isn't easy. it will be for me- berkeley, all the way. why berkeley? -california the coast. oh, i'm sorry, i lost my head. seventy-degree weather year-round. you go to class in shorts -and you drive around campus with the top down. they have convertible buses out there? denise is considering more than the weather in her decision. her indecisiveness indicates a more complex struggle. -what is she talking about? no, dad, seriously. subconsciously, denise may not be ready for college. maybe she should take some time off after graduation. and do what? -you know, emotional exploration. she won't do it here, will she? no, she should travel and see what's out there. i've always felt that the greatest classroom in the world is life. -the university of life. yes, i understand that some of its graduates go on to move back in with their parents. cliff, since you're serving tonight would you put these hors d'oeuvres -in the living room? i'll do it. no, your father lost a bet. he will do it. that's fine. -i've done this before. this isn't a big thing. when you're finished please place these glasses on the table. you're driving too fast. -hey, pud. hi. what's the matter? i hate college. did somebody tell you you had to go right now? -what's wrong? college takes everybody away. first it took away sondra and now it's going to take denise away, right? i don't want denise to go away. -i don't want denise to go, either. as a matter of fact, it makes me sad. it does? i feel sadder than you. uh-uh. -see, you look sad, but i feel sad and pitiful. i feel pitifuller. come here. let's take a look because i think i look sadder and pitifuller than you. -now, there we are. we're looking sad and pitiful... but i also look pathetic. i look patheticer. well, what do you think we should do? -tell denise she can't go. that's a good idea. we'll tell her she can't go. wait, though. if we tell her she can't go -then denise is going to feel very sad. i don't want denise to be sad. neither do i, but what will we do? when we tell her she can go to college then she'll be gone and we'll never see her again. -we will. no, we won't. she can come home for thanksgiving. oh, yeah. she'd come home for thanksgiving -just like sondra. and we could call her on the phone, huh? yes. we could drive down to the school and stay at the hotel. -and order room service. now wait a minute... i feel much better about this now don't you? yes. -yeah! thank you for making me feel so much better. your ideas were wonderful! you're welcome. can i have a z-r-b-t-t? -can i give you one? hey! sorry, dad. i forgot. i know i'm supposed to wait till the guests come. -that's quite all right. i know how much you like it. go ahead. have two. really? -go ahead. so... what are you doing tomorrow? sorry, dad. mom said i'm not allowed to help wash the car. -put them back. all right! here's the best-looking couple in the world! oh, son, come on now. yes, indeed. -and i've seen couples. that's enough, heathcliff. hush, russell. let the boy talk. please. -as you were saying? i wanted to know if your husband told you every day how gorgeous you are and how wonderful you look- and if he hasn't, why not? sometimes he forgets -but then i remind him. good. hi, grandma. grandpa. there's my girl. -tonight you're making the big decision. i've already made it. you made a decision? after lengthy soul-searching and agonizing deliberation i've decided to follow in my father's footsteps... -great! and join the navy. just a little joke there. i thought it was very funny. so did i. -actually, i'll announce my decision after dinner. i've narrowed it down to two schools. is one hillman? yes. is the other one hillman? -no, n.y.u. russell. oh, denise i've been married to this hillman graduate for 49 years -and i don't have to tell you how proud he is of his alma mater. he's mentioned hillman a few times. it is a very special place. your mother, father, grandfather -all got a good education there. but you go where you want to go or you'll have to answer to me. okay. -you tell her. that's all i'm saying. that was enough. i'm going in the kitchen to help. but we have hors d'oeuvres here. -i'm in the cooking mood not the eating mood. son, why don't you help. oh, no, dad. i'm in the eating mood. -son. sir? well, dad, you know when you come here and you want the children to do something you usually give them 50 cents or something. -dad. thank you, dad. grandpa, grandpa, grandpa. so you're down to two schools? yeah, it's been tough. -there's an old saying, denise. if you think you have a decision to make then you don't have all the information. what else can i say about hillman? nothing. -it has a beautiful campus and a great liberal arts department and many hillman graduates go on to top graduate schools. that's all true. but hillman has something that other schools don't. -doctor zacharia j. haynes. the president. yes. the students call him zacky. he's been at that school for 53 years. -he's going on 80, but he walks that campus everyday. knows each student by name. he can look you in the eye and see how you're doing. dad's talked about him. -your father should know. there was a time when he was having major trouble with calculus. dad? every so often, when he gets too big for his britches -i bring it up. oh. dr. haynes was a professor then and took your father under his wing. he'd have him to his house for dinner -and some tutoring. about a month later i got a call from mrs. haynes. she said, "heathcliff is a lovely boy "and doing fine in math now "but he's still coming for dinner every night. -"tell him to stop." sounds like theo. there are some similarities but the point is zacharia cares. -and that's the spirit of the entire school. now that you have this information i hope you can make the decision. i don't know, grandpa. hillman's so far away from home. -i know but after you've been at hillman awhile it is home. thank you, grandpa. made up your mind? -no. you want to hear about the cafeteria? heathcliff, the dinner was lovely but you've been on your feet the entire time. i enjoy doing this, mom. -he has to do it. he lost a bet. oh? well, in that case, i'll have some more coffee. dad, i could use some more potatoes. -why don't you just bring potatoes for everyone. why don't we say that the dinner is officially over and get on to denise's announcment. i'll take a break, but, dad, save those potatoes. denise, i believe you have something to tell us? -the announcement i'd like to make is tonight's dinner was delicious. denise, get serious. i am serious. this meal made me realize -i never want to leave this kind of home cooking. oh, no. she picked n.y.u. what i'm saying is wherever i go, i'll be taking all of you with me. -and where are you taking us? okay. the school i've decided to go to is... you know, there are many good schools out there. denise... -and i've picked one of them. this school had everything that i wanted and it also produced some very special people who went on to do great things including having me. -i'm going to hillman. i love you! i would like to propose a toast to my granddaughter, denise huxtable who will grace the halls of hillman -with her beauty and intelligence. you know, when you were born i took one look at you and said "this one's going to hillman." he said that about all of you. -denise, i want you to know that we're very proud of you. thanks, grandma. i'd like to say something. are we going to need a dictionary? no, dad. -denise, congratulations on your decision. i predict that you'll be a leader and a very influential person at hillman. soon everybody will be dressing weird -and changing their hairstyles every other day. and i would like to say even though that's not the coast, i approve. thank you. and while you're gone -i'll be happy to look after your car. i'm taking it along. then i'll really miss you. but as your brother, i want you to know i'm also very available to help you interview -any potential roommates. oh, please... it's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. okay, denise i just want to say one thing. -whenever you come home from school you're perfectly welcome to use my new room... for a small fee. thanks a lot. my turn, my turn! -and what do you want to say? i don't know. just say what you feel. i'm going to miss you, and i love you very much. i'm going to miss you, and i love you, too. -you better bring me back home a t-shirt. i will. i promise. denise, your father and i have something here that we wrote for you. -you go first. go ahead. the difference between you now and you then is that you then were priceless and helpless. and you now are still beyond price -but we are letting you go slowly, but certainly. and we feel you slipping from our hands as we remember you then and pray for you now. -we are forever your mother... and your father. my son! edward. edward! -pretorious. pretorious: go away. now, listen to me. i've gotta talk to you. -the resonator, it's working. if this is your idea of a joke... no, listen to me. the new program, it worked. just like you said. -my god. (resonator surging) do you feel it, crawford? (gasping with pleasure) turn it off. -edward, shut it off. never. can't you feel it? crawford. in the mind. -the... the mind. it's out of control. you've got to turn it off. no. -no. no, i wanna see more. more than any man has ever seen. edward, it's running itself. something's coming. -they're at it again, with the colored lights and the weird sounds. last time i called, you said you'd send a squad car if there was another disturbance. well, i'm disturbed. (dial tone) hello? -hello! oh! (ex claims) bunny, come back. (bunny barking) -bunny. bunny. oh, please. (bunny barks) bunny. -(bunny whining) bunny. get back! bunny. get back! -it's out of control! someone! turn it off! (clattering) (bunny whining) -somebody help! hold it, fella. oh, god. oh, my god. cop: -come on. come on. bunny. oh. (woman cha ttering on pa) -dr. bloch, i'm jordan fields from the da's office. this is dr. katherine mcmichaels. hello. i've read some of your work. very impressive. -oh, well, yes. so is this facility. though, if you've read my work, you know i'm not in favor of locking away schizophrenics. yes, i know. you're in favor of using them in experiments like lab animals. -we've asked dr. mcmichaels for her expert opinion on the sanity of crawford tillinghast, as it pertains to his ability to stand trial for the murder of edward pretorious. thank you. just a minute. ray. oh, here. -thank you. and... oh. thank you. (patient moaning) -patient: help me. i'm sorry, lord. i have sinned. i'm sorry, lord. -forgive me, god in heaven. (sobbing) forgive me. get them out of here! get them out of here! -get them out of here! (patients clamoring) (panting) he's in here, doctor. bloch: -crawford. this is dr. katherine mcmichaels. hello. i suppose you're another psychiatrist. yes, i am. -uh-huh. and you're a physicist. your record at miskatonic university was brilliant. ah, yes. i had quite a future, didn't i? -yes, you were working with edward pretorious. i was assisting dr. pretorious with his experiments, yes. what was the purpose of the experiments? to stimulate the pineal gland with resonant vibrations. the pineal gland. -why? dr. pretorious believed that the pineal was a dormant sensory organ. a sixth sense. yes. well, that's not a new theory. -the philosopher descartes believed it was the third eye. it's not a theory, it's a fact. then your experiments worked. they proved the theory. yes. -then what went wrong? nothing, at first. but then we saw them. what did you see? we saw creatures. -we saw creatures. these things that are swimming around in the air and fill it all the time. are they around us now? you bet. -only we can't see them without the resonator, and they can't see us unless they're under the influence of the vibrations. that's why i had to destroy it. destroy what? the resonator. pretorious' invention. -because... because... it... came. what came? dr. tillinghast? -crawford, what did you see? it ate him. bit off his head. like a gingerbread man. bloch: -crawford! dr. mcmichaels. i'm not mad. i saw it. i saw it! -crawford: do you hear me? i saw it. why doesn't anyone believe me? we can't reach him. -why doesn't anyone believe me? he keeps returning to the same fantasies. let's do a cat scan on him. why? you've already seen everything you need to see. -there's always more to see. no machines, please. no, it's all right. it'll be all right. i promise. -okay. oh, god. no. no. no. -no! no! (sobbing) no! no! oh, my god. -there, do you see that? bloch: mmm-hmm. the pineal gland is oversized and extending through the optic thalami. think the tumor is causing his delusions? -i don't think that's a tumor. i think the pineal gland is growing. that's impossible. i know, but the cat scan bears it out. the pineal stalk is elongating through the brain. -wait a minute. i don't know from the inside of brains. what does all this mean? well, it... it could mean that the experiment they were performing actually does stimulate the pineal. -you mean, he's not crazy? i don't know. he actually believes that he saw these creatures. that still doesn't explain how pretorious died, or what happened to his head. i'd like to recreate their experiment and i'll need tillinghast to do it. -that is absurd and unethical. i know your methods. the girl wonder. you use your patients so you can make your great discoveries. at least here we try to cure them. -by locking them up, giving them drugs, taking their lives away? i can give him his life back. i'll give you an expert opinion. crawford tillinghast is a classic paranoid schizophrenic and a dangerous one. if i can recreate the experiment, then i can find out what happened to pretorious. -i'd like nothing better than to lock this guy up. i've got a dead man with his head twisted off covered in some shit the pathologist can't even identify. no other fingerprints found except tillinghast's, no blood on the ax, no blood anywhere. i wanna know what the hell happened up there. he's all yours. -you're my patient now, dr. tillinghast. thank you. i'll call for an appointment. no, no, no, wait a minute. you've been released into my custody. -you'll have to come with me. where do you plan on taking me? back to the pretorious house. i want you to recreate your experiment. no. -look, you can either stay here for the rest of your life, or you can come with me. that's not much of a choice, is it? i believe you, crawford. i wanna see what you saw. hi. -you must be dr. mcmichaels. no, i'm dr. mcmichaels. oh, hi. hello. then you must be... -this is dr. crawford tillinghast. the crazy. (laughing) i'm sergeant buford brownlee, but my teammates call me bubba. i used to play pro football. -we were all crazy. not exactly cheery. sorry about that. childproof lock. (chuckling) -last stop. everybody out. dr. tillinghast, would you care to show us around? doctor, if you're telling us the truth, the only way to free yourself is to go back, through this door. come on, doc. -there's nothing to be afraid of. look, i'll show you. see, what did i tell you? (ex claims) bubba, you all right? -yeah, yeah, i'm okay. electrical cables. we needed more power so i rewired the whole house. where are the circuit breakers, doctor? doctor? -tillinghast. damn it, we lost him. he knows this place better than we do. first thing's to find the power. hey, wait a minute. -what? i'll bet these cables lead to the resonator. first we find our missing mental patient. (woman shouting in pain) isn't it? -pretorious: give me some more i want more yelling give me some more (woman screaming) you bitch -this guy was into some weird shit. on your mouth i want a kiss that's him. dr. edward pretorious. i don't care about his private life. -(chuckles) the pretorious resonator. (screaming) is that how you hacked up pretorious? that's where i hit it. -i knocked a fork off. there. there it is. what do you want me to do with him? let him go. -are you crazy, too? he's reliving it, the night of the murder. let him go. da says you call the signals. yes. -yes. this is how it was. that's where it ate him. wait a minute, what ate who? we can start in the morning, crawford. -i've started. mcmichaels: all right. all this talking about eating is making me hungry. how about getting some dinner, huh? -real danger here is starving. pretty, isn't she? crawford: she's beautiful. so how's it going, doc? -need some help? he used to bring beautiful women here. they'd eat fine meals, drink fine wine, listen to music. but it always ended with screaming. and i would just lie there and listen to them. -screaming. your boss had some screws loose. he was a genius. it's just that the five senses weren't enough for him. he wanted more. -is it finished? are we ready? yes. i had to bypass the computer because the magnetic field erased the program. and, of course, the monitor is completely useless. -so the entire system has to be manually operated. and unfortunately the resonator was so severely damaged that i had to convert it to just an on/ off system. when we reach 20,000 megahertz, we throw this switch, and a powerful magnetic field vibrates these forks at a precise frequency. stimulating the pineal gland, allowing us to see with it. listen to me. -don't move when we're in the field of the vibrations. mcmichaels: why? you move and they may see you. it will see you. -what is this "it" anyway? pray you don't see for yourself. now, i'm staying right by this switch. if it appears, i'm shutting down. are you sure we're ready for this? -yes. crawford: no, please. remember, stay still. (resonator surging) -this looks real great, people. (gasping) oh, man. what the hell is that? what? -i don't know what. no, don't move. (shouts in pain) holy shit. is this what you saw? -yes. these things are around us all the time. it's coming. bubba, are you all right? no. -lost a little piece but i'll be fine. when you move in the field, it can sense you. how far does the field extend? i'm turning it off. pretorious: -crawford. no. who is it? show yourself. welcome home, crawford. -i'm glad you came back. who's the lovely woman? crawford: it can't be you. dr. pretorious? -you have me at a disadvantage, my dear. crawford, where are your manners? bring your friend to me. i saw you die. no, not die. -just pass beyond. it was horrible. a necessary rite of passage. quite wonderful, in fact. where have you been hiding? -move toward me, my dear. i want to see you. how... did i survive? i am the master here. -is it... is it really you, edward? is it really you, edward? touch me, if it pleases you, if it helps you understand. (cackling) -it's just the body. but my mind is indivisible. bodies change. (cackling) that will be quite enough of that. -(retching) i feel exhilarated. we almost died. incredible creature. it must have total bodily control on a molecular level. -yes, and edward's mind. he's become the thing that ate him. crawford, we saw the same things. we've proved you're not insane. i'm not so sure. -no. you faced your fear and you overcame it. you saved our lives. bubba: yeah. -i owe you one. want some breakfast? how can you eat after that? can't work without eating. what work? -well, i've got to record the results. the pineal gland was stimulated. it gave me one hell of a headache. expansion of the pineal. i'll have to do a study of the cat scans of schizophrenics. -if there's a statistical correlation between schizophrenia and an enlarged pineal, why, they may be seeing or feeling what we saw. their minds may be influenced by those creatures. well how about the hard-on i got? is there a statistical correlation for that, too? well, we know that the pineal gland helps to regulate the sex drive. -perhaps pineal stimulation causes an accompanying sexual stimulation. there's so much to learn. well, we learned what we came for. he ain't crazy and that "it" ate pretorious' head. they're gonna think we're crazy, but that's their problem. -well, we just have to try the experiment again. did you say, "we"? katherine, you can't. you don't mean go back up there now, do you? you always run an experiment twice, to check the results. -wait, now i saw it get to him, katherine. just exactly what you're feeling, and it ruined him. pretorious. yes, i'd like to know more about him. that resonator is a work of genius. -were we in the same nightmare? i mean, didn't we just almost all get eaten by an "it"? all it takes is a hand on the switch. if it appears, you make it disappear. i got a better idea. -how about if we disappear out the door? don't you understand? this is the greatest discovery since van leeuwenhoek first looked through a microscope and saw an amoeba. yeah, but he wasn't down there with the amoebas. i have to find out if the pineal gland is really the key. -okay, fine. fine, but not here, not now. under controlled conditions. but we have control. no one knows that resonator better than you do. -you're right. and that's why no one is touching it. crawford. this could be the first step in curing schizophrenia. crawford. -my father spent 15 years in an institution. he died in one. they called his condition incurable. they tried everything, drugs, shock therapy, even surgery. but they turned him into a vegetable. -i'm sorry. we can save so many others. please, crawford. we can do it. help me. -help you? help you to take your mind and shatter it? i can't. and i won't let you. i'm the law here. -you turn on that machine and it's reckless endangerment. look, we all need some rest. why don't we just get some sleep, and then we'll think about it. yeah, we'll get some rest, and then we're going. (moans) -(shuddering) (resonator surging) (groaning) turn it off. no. -i have to see more. feel more. turn it off. no. (moaning) -no. no. we've got to stop it. pretorious: oh, don't stop. -i'm impressed, crawford. do you realize now what i was creating? edward, my god, what have you become? myself. get the switch. -i'll distract him. yes, i do find you distracting. don't, crawford. listen to me. whatever you are, you're still edward pretorious. -you're still human. i'm more than human. join me forever. everyone must join me. (pretorious cackling) -we'll be waiting for you, crawford. where the hell are you going, junior? the circuit breaker, i've got to turn it off. damn it. smell. -taste. (screaming) in another life, i would have enjoyed you in another way. you messing with that damn machine again, man? (roaring) -what the hell is that? the vibrations must reach down here. i'll be right back. (screaming) what are you gonna do to me? -i'm going to kiss you. (shouting) (screaming) (muffled screaming) (creature roaring) -(groaning) (screaming) i'm sorry. i really thought that i could control it. it's changing us, doc. -all of us. and not for the better. i was wrong to turn on the resonator with other subjects present. it's clear now that only one person should run the experiment. this ain't an experiment. -it's suicide. the presence of other subjects causes dangerous distractions. now i can stand right at the master switch and maintain control of that resonator. but i must do it myself. i know this behavior. -i've seen it in the streets. you may be a scientist, lady, but right now you're acting like a junkie. oh, just take him and leave. wrap him up. i'll get the van ready. -put some clothes on. unless you want me to take you kicking and screaming like that. what the hell are you doing? i told you to get dressed. i did. -the van's ready. you going like that? no. what a shame. i just love what you've done with this room. -you're asking for it. look at yourself. look at yourself. is that who you are? i don't know. -i don't know who i am. (resonator surging) listen. crawford, we're leaving now. no. -listen. the resonator. it's him. he's trying to start the resonator from beyond. son of a bitch. -(ex claims) bastard. (screaming) bubba, pull the cable! bubba! -use the ax, the ax. (shouts) (whimpering) damn. bubba: -oh, no, god. oh, god! (screaming) oh, god! oh! -no! bubba! (gasps) katherine. (groaning) -crawford! kiss. kiss, my dear. (groaning) (screaming) -humans are such easy prey. let her go. pretorious: oh, i will. beyond her wildest dreams. -she will go into my mind and i will go into hers. it's the greatest sensual pleasure there is. you never knew pleasure or gave it, only pain. (groaning) you are evolving into a being that has never existed before. -i'm crawford tillinghast. let it happen, crawford. crawford: no. let it out. -no. crawford! crawford: oh, it's so beautiful. so -beautiful. now you can truly see. what have you done to him? i only awakened his sleeping pineal gland. it did the rest itself. -no! (resonator powering down) crawford. (pretorious snarling) you whore. -die, you fucker. (laughing) (sobbing) oh, crawford. (woman cha ttering on pa) -(gasps) the police are here. she's been telling us a pretty wild story. i have been telling you the truth. we'd like your opinion of her mental state. -i'd rather give you my opinion of her professional conduct. you're contemptible. look at her. i doubt she even understands what she's done. you cost crawford tillinghast his mind, quite possibly his life. -and another man's life. that machine has got to be destroyed. i listened to you the first time and now i've lost one of my best men. the da's gonna chew me a new asshole, thanks to you. she's in your custody now. -no, no, no, wait a minute. you can't lock me up. not here. please. you can't do much with her in this agitated state. -she'll upset the other patients. do whatever you think best. listen, dr. bloch, please. you know that i'm sorry for everything that i've done. you have got to let me go back... -don't you tell me what i have got to do, girl wonder. you always have all the answers, don't you? well, you're my patient now. and i've got a few answers myself. prepare her for electroshock therapy. -but, dr. bloch, hospital policy says... hospital policy dictates that the nursing staff is to follow orders. now, do as i say. yes, doctor. no. -bloch: stop her. my god, bloch, no. set her up in number five. i'm gonna go check on tillinghast. -if she continues to resist, sedate her. (man and woman muttering) what time do you get off work? i'm dedicated. (both chuckling) -please, don't do this. it's not necessary. i'm all right now. please. he's gone. -call security. crawford, please don't eat those. they're delicious. they... they can make you very sick. -god. what is happening to me? we... we don't know for sure, but we're going to find out. we're going to go in the hall now, crawford. -(choking) (sucking) (slurping) take it easy, honey. come quick. -something's happened and we need your help. wait a minute. what about her? lock her up in a room. (grunts) -katherine? (ambulance siren wailing) katherine! wait, god damn it, i need a drink. oh, god. -patient: oh, god, let me out. (patient mumbling) you better hurry before he goes into dts. yeah, yeah. -oh, and get me a candy bar. i'm starving. (thuds) harley. harley, what's going on? -patient: oh, no. oh, dear lord. oh, no. oh. -i saw a snake. a snake came out of his head. it ate him. dear lord. shit, harley, you son of a bitch, he's gone into dts. -oh, lord. oh, lord. oh, lord. harley? oh, lord. -oh, dear lord. oh, god. oh, no. oh, i saw... i... -harley. you all right? that's the snake man! that's him! (muffled screaming) -somebody! somebody help me! (shouting) oh, no! oh, god, help! -help! someone... (screaming) god! oh! -oh, help! somebody help! (screaming) crawford, stop. crawford, let me go. -what are... crawford, please. crawford, stop. no. crawford. -oh, my... don't. why are you doing this? because i love you, katherine. crawford, we have to get out of here. -the resonator's going to blow up. i want us to be together. listen to me. i set a timing device on a bomb. we only have a few minutes. -it doesn't matter. if pretorious can turn on that machine, then he'll always have a way back here. he's always here. (groans) don't you understand? -he won't just influence us, he'll devour us and the rest of the human race if he can. you're so beautiful. please, crawford. it won't hurt, i promise. (screams) -(screaming) crawford, help me! katherine? welcome, my dear. oh, i've been waiting for you. -edward, no! yes. the greatest sensual pleasure there is is to know the desires of another mind. i know your desires, you impotent pig. we are the most powerful being in the universe. -she'll know, edward, how pathetic you are. how you can't make love. maybe you could teach me. crawford! all right. -come and get me, eunuch. this time i'm not running away. (screeching) (screaming) (slurping) -(whimpering) (hissing) (screeching) (hissing) (screaming) -(snarling) (roaring) (screaming) (laughing) (crawford yelling) -katherine, run! crawford! (grunting) (laughing) (screaming) -crawford! (groaning) there was a big explosion, upstairs, at the top of the house. (whimpering) i've called the fire department. -they'll get you to the hospital. oh, my, god. what happened up there? it... ate... him. excuse me, ma'am, can you tell me where...? -do you speak english? which way? left. left. stop. -stop. what? where you going? how long does it take to get to this place? oh, 1 2 hours, more or less. -what's there? camp? yes, a sort of military camp. and.... how many people? -they will tell you when we get there. do they have arms? they will tell you that too when we get there, everything. no. no. -shit. bitch. all right! i don't care! water. -yes, sir. come in. monsieur, your drink. thank you. put it on the table. -yes, sir. there's no soap. no, sir. "no, sir." robertson? -robertson? hello. yes. i want to inquire about flights. there are only two flights in the week. the next flight is in three days. -all right. come in. sorry to barge in like this. i saw your lights on, thought you might like a drink. oh, yes, come in. -i saw you on the plane. i'll get some glasses. my name's robertson, david robertson. first time i've been in this part of africa. do you know it well? -no, i've never been up here before. i'm a reporter. my name's locke. not david locke? yes. -i've often read your pieces. i'm very glad to meet you. are you down here for a story? i'm putting some material together. pieces of film for a documentary on africa. -i'm finished now, thank god, or almost finished. what more do you need? i'd like to make contact with the guerrillas. everybody knows they're fighting up here now. they just arrested some farmers. -i suppose you heard about it. yes. anyway, i must've taken a wrong trail. there aren't very many around here. but you're not a journalist as well, are you? -no, no. i'm here on business. business? in a godforsaken place like this. well, i've been in so many places the last few years it doesn't make any difference anymore. -beautiful. don't you think so? beautiful? i don't know. so still. -a kind of waiting. you seem unusually poetic for a businessman. do i? doesn't the desert have the same affect on you? no. i prefer men to landscapes. -there are men who live in the desert. any family? no, no family, no friends. just a few commitments, including a bad heart. i really shouldn't be drinking. -how about another one? why not? and now what? i'll continue on around the world, i expect. i'm a globetrotter. -i take life as it comes. i suppose it's different for you, isn't it? yeah, it's different. still, you must've been around quite a bit yourself. yes, i suppose so. -how about umbugbene? i bet you've never been to umbugbene. no. terrible place. airports, taxi, hotel. -they're all the same in the end. i don't agree. it's us who remain the same. we translate every situation, every experience into the same old codes. we just condition ourselves. -we are creatures of habit, that what you mean? something like that. i mean, however hard you try it stays so difficult to get away from your own habits. even the way we talk to these people the way we treat them, it's mistaken. i mean, how do you get their confidence? -do you know? well, it's like this, mr. locke you work with words, images, fragile things. i come with merchandise, concrete things. they understand me straightaway. yes. -maybe. so where are you going to next? london, i think, then munich perhaps. no real reason, just thought i'd check up on some of the old places. haven't been in london for three years now. -yes, sir? there's a gentleman in number 1 1 . he's dead. mr. locke? -robertson. oh, yes, of course. the man in number 1 1 i believe is mr...? locke. david locke. -yes, exactly. he was a newspaperman, i think. this is most unfortunate. there is no doctor now, and no flight for another three day. what can we do with him, mr. robertson? -i'll be outside. mr. robertson. mr. robertson. yes. -he's dead, mr. robertson. what are you going to do? we send body in the city. the heat, you know. we think have to get done very quickly here. -there are regulations. is very sad. yes. do you know if mr. locke was a religious man? we have a catholic mission near here. do you think? -i'm sure that will do very well. yeah. library. david locke? yep. -okay. martin, i think you probably knew david better than any of us here. in fact, i think he was in africa making a television film for you. that's right, yes. but i feel i must begin by saying how terribly upset i was by the news of his death. -it was so unexpected. he was still very young. if you were asked to sum up what it was that made david such a good journalist what would you say? first, i suppose it was his background. being british but educated in america gave him a different perspective. -a kind of detachment. and then he had this great talent for observation. going on a holiday? sort of. where do you want to leave the car? -i don't know. where are you going? i haven't made up my mind. here's a list of our offices. have a look in it. -yugoslavia. i'll go to yugoslavia. dubrovnik? yes. dubrovnik. that's nice. -how long for? for the rest of my life. why don't you buy a new car? thank you. here you are. -thank you. thank you. mr. locke. david. david. -what the hell do you think you're doing? are you crazy? yes. rachel, where are you going? mr. robertson? -mr. robertson. did something go wrong at the airport? we were expecting you to contact us, sir. yes. i'm afraid there was a slight muddle. -is it all right for us to talk now, then? talk? i suppose so. yes. this is mr. achebe. -we are very grateful for your help, mr. robertson. you have taken enormous risks for our sake. did you manage to get everything we wanted? have you got the papers? the papers? -oh, yes. you better take a look at them and let me know what you think. yes. oh, excellent. excellent. -you got the fn rifles as well, excellent. a pity about the anti-aircraft guns. yes. well, that's very good. glad it's all there. -sorry about the anti-aircraft guns. i hope it won't be too much of a drawback. oh, no, their planes aren't very effective at the moment. we evade them easily enough. our main problem is the military assistance the government is getting from europe. -yes, well, it's not surprising. here's the first installment, mr. robertson. don't you want to check it? no. i'm sure it's all right. the second installment will be paid as agreed in geneva. -you know the number. and our next meeting will be in.... in barcelona. the arrangements for that remain unchanged. i have heard a lot about you, mr. robertson. i realize that you are not like the others that you believe in our fight. -this will be of great assistance to our people. of course you realize the present government has agents who may try to interfere with you. in that case, i hope you will try to get in touch with us. we will help in any way we can. thank you. -give my regards to daisy. to whom? to daisy. goodbye. goodbye. -bye. thank you. jesus christ. sorry. yes, in the lab, 4:00. -all right, thank you very much. rachel. is it all right, me coming in like this? of course it is. may i watch? -please do. yes, come sit over here. use the other stool. all right? suppose so. -mr. president could you comment on the recent arrest of foreign nationals? this matter is in the hands of the courts. it is up to the law to make its comment. does the united liberation front still control the northern provinces? in other words, are the guerrillas still fighting? -perhaps. for once the official terminology correspond with the actual facts. and the facts are these: this is no longer a problem. intellectuals and journalist like to make publicity out of it. -to give it some kind of political substance. that's enough of that. are you seeing a good many of david's interviews? all right, thanks. go to lunch now. -so.... i'm glad you dropped by. what do you think of my idea? a portrait of david? yeah. -why do you want to do it? a way to remember him. yes? besides, i think it might help in pulling this material together. you don't seem very enthusiastic. -oh, it's not that. it's just that, you know, reporters, interviews.... david really wasn't so different. i was there, you know, that interview. i went to see him, but only stayed for one day. -i don't mean to sound disloyal but he accepted too much. we hadn't been very close the last couple of years. i don't know why i'm talking like this. i'm sorry. i hope you make your film. -do you love him? yes, i think so. just didn't make each other very happy. there is no fighting anymore. the situation is practically normal. -all that remain is a couple of hundred gangs in the hands of some common bandits. will the opposition party be allowed to nominate candidates at the next election? there is no opposition. we are a unified nation. do you think--? -i think this country is on the road to a great future. david! yeah. half an hour. okay, see you later. -you didn't like that, did you? no. you involve yourself in real situations, but you've got no real dialogue. why didn't you tell that man he's a--? a liar? -yes. i know. but those are the rules. i don't like to see you keep them. then why did you come? -yes. hello, avis? this is mr. robertson. oh, yes, hello, how are you? yes, but i'm not going to debrovnik. -no. no, i'm going to barcelona. that's right. for the rest of my life. same to you. -thank you. goodbye. hey. is beautiful. my name is robertson. -i've been waiting for someone who hasn't arrived. i've seen so many of them grow up. other people look at the children and they all imagine a new world. but me when i watch them, i just see the same old tragedy begin all over again. they can't get away from us. -is boring. where did you learn to speak english? you want me to tell you my life? yes. all right. -one day very far from here.... -commissioned officers are charged under m.a.... i'm sorry, i didn't mean to upset you. i know. what about david's things? -have they arrived yet? no. they called to say it'd take about a week, at least. usual muddle. yes, i know. -they asked if i knew someone called robertson. evidently he stayed at same hotel as david did. can you find him? possibly. i'd like to talk to him. -so would i. so why don't you try and forget all about it? yeah. i know it's stupid. i didn't care at all before. now that he's dead, in some strange way i do. -perhaps i was wrong about him. if you try hard enough perhaps you can reinvent him. martin knight, please. when? really? -rachel locke. yes. oh, but that's marvelous. how did he find out, from avis? hotel oriente. -thank you. you will let me know if anything else happens? great. bye. and what was that? -martin. he left this morning for barcelona. he may have found robertson. you still looking for him? yes. -excuse me. i was trying to remember something. is it important? no. what is it, do you know? i came in by accident. -the man who built it was hit by a bus. who was he? gaudí. come. he built this house for a corduroy manufacturer. -they used this room for concerts. wagner. do you think he was crazy? how could you come in here by accident? i was escaping. -oh, from what? well, i thought someone might be following me. somebody who might recognize me. why? i don't know. -well, i can't recognize you. who are you? i used to be somebody else but i traded him in. what about you? well, i'm in barcelona. -i'm talking to someone who might be someone else. i was with those people but i think i'm going to see the other gaudí buildings alone. all of them? they're all good for hiding in. depends on how much time you've got. -i have to leave today. this afternoon. i hope you make it. people disappear every day. every time they leave the room. -goodbye. can we give you another car, mr. robertson? this one really ought to be serviced. oh, fine. yes. -as long as it's a large car. oh, by the way, mr. robertson. i have a message for you. a what? a message. -it's from mr. knight. it can't be for me. i'm sure it's not a mistake. here. he said he didn't know you but he wanted you to get in touch with him. -he's staying at the hotel oriente. the same as you, i think. will the fiat 1 25 be all right? son of a bitch. are you sure that he said that he didn't know me? -i'm quite sure, mr. robertson. thank you very much. i don't think i'll be needing another car. i'm-- i'm sorry. hey. have you decided not to disappear? -no. that's why i came. i thought perhaps you could help me. this way. how can i help you? -how can you help me? it sounds crazy because i can't explain it. but there is someone following me. another one? no. -the same man. someone i don't wanna meet. i've bought a car. second hand. third hand. -i'm leaving barcelona, but i have to get my things from the hotel. that sounds rather easy. except that he's probably waiting for me. so you want me to get the jewels and secret documents? yes. -i'll give you the keys to the car and my passport and a thousand pesetas. i don't know who else to ask. okay. excuse me. excuse me. -could i talk to you for a moment? what is it? i'm sorry to intrude like this but i understand you're a friend of david robertson. who? david robertson. -yes, in a way, but who are you? well, i've been trying very hard to find him. i thought you might know where he was. i gather from the hotel that these are his things. yes. -i'm sorry. my name's martin knight. i'm a television producer from england. i've come all the way out to talk to him, but i can't find him. i see. -well, i'll take you to him. really? that would be very kind. thank you. i left a message for him at the avis office, but there seems to have been some misunderstanding. -i think he mentioned you. you mind following in a taxi? i have to pick up somebody else with some more stuff. all right. thank you so much, that's very kind of you. -i'll just get a taxi. was it difficult? well.... thank you. come on. -is that your suitcase? can i ask you one question now? one you can, yes. only one, always the same. what are you running away from? -turn your back to the front seat. i've run out of everything. my wife. the house. an adopted child. -a successful job. everything except a few bad habits i couldn't get rid of. how did you get away with it? there was an accident. everyone thought i was dead. -i let them think so. there is no way to explain it, is there? now i think i'm going to be a waiter in gibraltar. too obvious. maybe a novelist in cairo. -too romantic. how about a gunrunner? too unlikely. as a matter of fact, i think i am one. then it depends on which side you're on. -yes. i just sold 5000 hand grenades, 900 rifles and a great deal of ammunition to some people fighting a secret war in an obscure part of the world. i like it. you like that one? you like. -how about you? i'm a tourist become a bodyguard. i'm studying architecture. studying architecture? yeah. -what kind of impression do you think you make when you first come into a room? they look at me. just think i'm all right. nothing mysterious. you learn much more packing someone's things. -yeah, it's like listening in on a private phone conversation. a room. how do you feel? happy. that man said he was looking for david robertson. -who did? the man who was following you. what else? nothing. he said he was a television producer. -and wanted to talk to you about a friend, that's all. you've got a date with marina at 3:00 on the 1 0 of september, don't forget. at the plaza de la iglesia, san- san ferdinando. and another next day, in a place called osuna, with daisy. -osuna. yes. at the hotel de la gloria. very picturesque, perhaps. i won't be there. -what a pity, all these girls: lucy, marina, daisy. daisy again. daisy seems to be your favorite. i think this daisy is a man. -a man? yes. yesterday when we filmed you at the village i understood that you were brought up to be a witch doctor. isn't it unusual for someone like you to have spent several years in france and yugoslavia? has that changed your attitude toward certain tribal customs? -don't they strike you as false now and wrong, perhaps, for the tribe? mr. locke there are perfectly satisfactory answers to all your questions. but i don't think you understand how little you can learn from them. your question are much more revealing about yourself than my answer would be about me. i meant them quite sincerely. -mr. locke, we can have a conversation but only if it's not just what you think is sincere but also what i believe to be honest. yes, of course, but.... now we can have an interview. you can ask me the same questions as before. everything all right? -fine. see you later. martin, you're back. what luck. i've been trying to find you. -i want to see this again. what? this one. what's this? oh, that one. -what happened? he disappeared. who, robertson? it was as though he was frightened of something. frightened? -yes, i don't know why. i think we should get in touch with the embassy. they might be able to tell us something about him. yes, i know. what? -i was supposed to collect david's things there tomorrow. mrs. locke. good afternoon. please sit down. mrs. locke may i offer you my government's most sincere condolences. -thank you. we have his things here for you. now, about your inquiry. i understand you were asking about mr. robertson. david alfred robertson. -yes. can you help me? he was probably the last man to speak to my husband. robertson is involved in illegal arms traffic in our country. arms traffic? -could he have killed my husband? no. we are sure of the doctor's report. your husband died from a heart attack. did my husband realize who he was? -i don't think so. robertson is associated with the united liberation front. a rather- what shall i say? a rather radical organization, a man called achebe. -they're very troublesome people. very unintelligent. however, robertson has vanished. but he was in barcelona. when did you contact him there? -three days ago. do you plan going on looking for him? yes. haven't been in london for three years now. wouldn't it be better if we could just forget old places? -forget everything that happens and just throw it all away, day by day? unfortunately the world doesn't work that way. well, it doesn't work the other way either. that's the problem. what's on the other side of that window? -people will believe what i write. and why? because it conforms to their expectations and to mine as well, which is worse. well, in india, you know, they-- hey, i think your tape recorder's.... -yes. i must have-- still running, you know. yeah, sorry. plaza de la iglesia. -this is it. i should go alone from here. no one. what the fuck are you doing here with me?

-hey. do you believe in coincidence? i never asked myself. i never used to notice it. now i see it all around. -do you know something? what? i saw you before. where? in london. -what i was doing? reading. then it must have been me. what are you thinking? nothing. -excuse me, señor. is that your white car parked outside? yes. why? a policeman is looking for the owner. -shall i tell him to come in? no. i'll go. he's looking for a white convertible with madrid plates. he doesn't know why. he want us to go with him. -i go, it's better. señor, are you looking for the car or the person in it?

but he's dead. -but you're not. okay. we can both go. no. you take the bus to almería. -catch that boat, go to tangiers and leave a message for me at american express. i'll meet you there in three days' time if you turn up. okay. take care. closed. -thank you. is there any luggage?

a little boy and an old woman. they are having an argument about which way to go. you shouldn't have come. what can you see now? -a man scratching his shoulder. a kid throwing stones. and dust. it's very dusty here. isn't it funny how things happen? -all the shapes we make. wouldn't it be terrible to be blind? i know a man who was blind. when he was nearly 40 years old he had an operation and regained his sight. how was it like? -at first he was elated really high. faces colors landscapes. but then everything began to change. the world was much poorer than he imagined. no one had ever told him how much dirt there was. -how much ugliness. he noticed ugliness everywhere. when he was blind he used to cross the street alone with a stick. after he regained his sight he became afraid. he began to live in darkness. -he never left his room. after three years he killed himself. what the fuck are you doing here with me? you better go. okay. -is this david robertson? do you recognize him? i never knew him. do you recognize him? yes. -look, that's a bright one! whoa! a fireball. hey, look. there's mars. -where? right over there. see it?

what don't i understand? you know, david, -that whatever you tell me stays in this room. i'm a nurse. i'm here to help. i mean, i'm supposed to say that, but... -it really is true, david. okay, first, can i see the back of your neck? okay. eating a frog? i don't know, david. -that's some kind of story. it's not a story. a ufo lands in the back of your house and puts something in your mom and dad's neck, then it gets your teacher -and the police and your friend, heather, and her father, ed, from the telephone company? how did it get mrs. mckeltch? she said the frogs came from around copper hill. -she must have been there. stay right there a minute. well? mrs. mckeltch, david seems concerned about an injury to your... -to your neck. my neck? yes, he says that you're wearing a bandage. why, yes. i have a boil on my neck. -a boil? a boil. i could help you clear that up if you'd let me look at it. don't touch me! -i want the boy. if you don't give him to me... you have a lot of nerve, sister. oh, boy. this is going to be a mess. -okay. go out the window. now, this is the key to my back door. you wait for me, and i'll come and see you when classes let out. -where do you live? 462 south royal. okay. bye. where's david? -he's not feeling well, heather. why don't you come back later? he's still with the nurse. his parents will take him. he's not well. -he may be in danger. we'll sue. what kind of nurse are you, anyway? i'm sorry, mr. gardner. -i just left the office for one moment. when i got back, he was gone. what did he talk to you about? he was upset. he's having a problem with one of the teachers. -i told you. he needs psychiatric help. is that all he said? yes. it was only a small problem -with one of the teachers. oooh! oooooh! a, e, i, o, u. a, e, i, o, u. -you get me a pile, then you get me whittles, you bring them both to me, or i'll have your heart and liver out, david gardner! david gardner! -david gardner! i'll get you. aah! i'll get you. david gardner. -i'll get you. i found them! keep it down. they'll see us! i was down there! -i found mrs. mckeltch. calm down. we're in big, big trouble! i saw them. they're bigger than anything i've ever seen! -they probably think i've kidnapped you! no! they tried to catch me. they chased me through their tunnels. they almost killed me. -what? who? these things. they're huge, ugly, slimy, giant mr. potato heads! hold it. -i don't understand what you're saying. come on. i'll show you. david! you're not just a crazy child, are you? -this is where the tunnel opening was. i don't see anything. it's gone! but i'm positive it was here. i'm positive! -i swear it! but it's not, david. they moved it. they can move tunnels! david, it's just too crazy for me. -but you saw the band-aids on the back of their necks. yes, but they're just band-aids. okay, we have to go to the hill. we do? does it look to you -like anything's landed there? david, we're already in trouble, both of us, because of my helping you run away. now, i can make up a story that'll smooth things over. -your house is right down there. look! coming up. can you tell us where this is, mr. gardner? straight up the hill -and over into the canyon. johnson, you got everything? all set. right over here, man. yeah. -over the hill, he said. anything? not yet. does gardner seem a little weird to you? what's his story? -i don't know. down here. come on. you got anything? not yet. -real strong reading here. yeah, i'm following you. i'm picking it up, too. yeah. yeah, i'm picking it up. -what? found something. oh, no! no, no! no! -no! no! oh, my god! let's get out of here! oh, no! -the field trip! mrs. mckeltch took the whole class to the sandpit! what are we going to do now? i'm going to make a call. -who are you calling? the state police. you missed the field trip, david gardner! linda! stop! -come back! i'll get you for this, david gardner! damn! my god, what did she do to you? is your neck all right? -yes, it's fine. did you get the state police? no, their lines were busy. are you all right? yes. -david, there is one place we can hide while we call the fbi. david! i'm coming, i'm coming. the phone's dead. -it's heather's dad. he must be messing with the lines. damn. get down. let's get out of here. -where do we go? come on. i know a place. you check in there. shh. -in here. david! come on, this way. what in god's name am i doing here? but you saw those 2 guys-- -i don't know what i saw anymore, david. i'm sorry. i don't know. it's okay to be afraid. i'm not afraid. -i'm petrified. me, too. please, please. shh. shh. -shh. you hear something? aah! it's okay. we're the police. -we're here to help. aah! aah! aah! aah! -they must be tunneling under the whole town! i know they are! we've got to stop them. how? they're everywhere! -let's just get out of this crazy place! no. we have to find my mom and dad. well, we're not going back alone. we need help. -general wilson. who? general wilson! where's your pass? it's an emergency. -base commander's office. sgt. major rinaldi speaking. yes, sir, he's here. who? -general. provost marshal's on the phone, sir. yes. uh-huh. uh-huh. -sounds like another crazy. what? george gardner's son? those are the 2 guys that got sucked under the sand. -oh, my. i don't like the look of this. okay, miss magnusson, david. now, what's this all about? david, -has this got anything to do with your father? i don't mean to be rude, but i haven't got much time. what happened was-- no! -let me see the back of your neck first. the back of my neck? yes. please, general. he's serious. -i had to make sure first. i guess i'm next. okay, go on. it's wired. the detonator is set. -you better hurry, or you just might blow it. i understand how it must sound, general, but i can assure you it's absolutely true. i don't know. -people being sucked under the sand. a lot of aliens running around loose underneath the town. it's a little hard to swallow. excuse me, sir. -nasa does confirm a visual sighting, a ufo, 2 nights ago during the meteor shower. but radar reported no strike. in fact, radar reported nothing at all. general, -what if the ship absorbed energy? it wouldn't show up on radar because no energy would bounce back, right? search teams were sent out to find signs of impact or landing. sir. -the men who checked the copper hill area gave it a clean report. that's because they were sucked under the sand! they're all part of it! walker, would you please come in here? -ma'am, i'd like you and the boy to leave us for a moment. yes, sir. sir? to the briefing room. -yes, sir. please, follow me. rinaldi, i want you to notify nasa that we're going to do just a routine security check on their men. -don't want to make an issue out of this. yes, sir. sorry to disturb you, boys. just have a couple of routine questions about the copper hill search. -place these men under arrest! tell me what the hell is going on! general-- keep back! my god. -what? they're dead. jesus! stay clear! don't touch those things! -seal the base perimeter. alert security! get those nasa hotshots back over here right away. maybe they can explain this. bring the nurse and the kid back, right now! -lock off the launch area. yes, sir. david, this is dr. stout, senior scientist on the millennium project. -this is dr. weinstein. how do you do, david? we work with your father. hi, david. your dad's talked about you a lot. -this is linda magnusson, david's friend. doctor, i didn't think the viking missions found any sign of life, except for this photo i saw in a magazine of these things on the surface -that looked like pyramids. i saw that photograph. and what about that huge thing that kind of looked like a monkey's head? it was in all the papers. -that was fake, right? on the contrary, there were other photos too sensational to be made public. but there's not enough water to support life. on the surface. -we're looking below ground. if there is, david, it may not want to be found. the tunnels! it may not want us up there. -there really is no other choice. no, please, general wilson, any further delay, we'll miss the launch window. mars won't wait for us, general. i understand, gentlemen. -we will go tonight, but we must be able to guarantee security. we still don't know what the hell we're dealing with. what would you suggest that we do? -i want to put a temp freeze on countdown until we're all clear. then it's your show. you got yourself a deal. no, it's a temp freeze. -well, tell mission control i'm authorizing it. i know, i'll be right down. good, doctor. general, we're going down to control. we'll be back soon. -general, listen! we have a break in security, sir! there's an l-o-x truck on the runway, sir. general, base security arrested 2 technicians trying to steal equipment. -steal what?

let's take a look! -david! david! please stay put. sgt. lance. -sir! see that those marines are secure! yes, sir! all right, move it! let's go! -first sector of fire is 11:00, 2:00. go! check out 11:00. he's going to fall! rinaldi! -uh! stay the hell away from there! oh, rinaldi! ah! ah! -ah! ah! ah! aah! rinaldi! -ready those winches! hit the deck! hold your fire! get down, damn it! we can't just blow away an opportunity like this. -look at these creatures. we don't know much about them, or why they're here. it's all right, boys. it's-- it's all right. how's he know they're boys? -shut up! i think i have something that belongs to you. this is yours, right? this is yours. that's right. -uh... i'm mark weinstein, uh... dr. weinstein. i'm from seti, s-e-t-i, -the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and-- you do understand me... don't you?

(slams down suitcase) (speaking german) -hey, goldberg. poldek. what's this? the judenrat has its own police now. you don't say. -ordnungsdienst. i'm a policeman now, could you believe it? it's hard to believe. no, it's not hard to believe. it's a good racket, poldek. -the only racket here. look, maybe i could put in a good word for you with my superiors. your superiors? come on, they are not as bad as everyone says. well, they're worse than everyone says, but it's a lot of money. -a lot of money. give me my housing assignment. come on. you look funny in that hat, goldberg.

(conversing in polish) -(machinery buzzes) (schindler clapping) the standard ss rate for jewish skilled laborers is 7 marks a day, 5 for unskilled and women. this is what you pay the reich economic office. the jews themselves receive nothing. -poles you pay wages. generally, they get a little more. are you listening? what was that about the ss? the rate? -the what? the jewish worker's salary. you pay it directly to the ss, not to the worker. he gets nothing. but it's less. -it's less than what i would pay a pole. it's less. that's the point i'm trying to make. poles cost more. (sniffs) -why should i hire poles? an enamelware factory over at lipowa street. it's owned by a german. but it's outside the ghetto, so you can barter for extra goods, for eggs, i don't know what you need, with the polish workers. you can't get it here. -also, he's asking for 10 healthy women for the... i am healthy.

(horn honking) schindler: -my father was fond of saying, "you need three things in life, a good doctor, a forgiving priest, and a clever accountant." the first two, i've never had much use for. but the third... just pretend, for christ's sake. is that all? -i'm trying to thank you. i'm saying i couldn't have done this without you. the usual thing would be to acknowledge my gratitude. it would also, by the way, be the courteous thing. -you're welcome. (sighs) get out of here. (door buzzes) schindler: -klonowska, who is it? she's so embarrassed. look at her. you know something? you would like her. -oskar, please. what? i don't have to like her just because you do. you would, though. it doesn't work that way. -(door closes) you've done well here. you look wonderful. be careful of the step, miss. mrs. schindler, marek. -(gloomy sunday playing) it's not a charade, all this? a charade? how could it be a charade? the clothes, the car, the apartment. -wait a minute. take a guess how many people are on my payroll. oskar. my father, at the height of his success, had 50. i've got 350. -three hundred and fifty workers on the factory floor, with one purpose. to make pots and pans? to make money for me.

"everybody remembers him." "he did something extraordinary." "he did something no one else did." "he came here with nothing, a suitcase, and built a bankrupt company into a major manufactory." -"and left with a steamer trunk." "two steamer trunks full of money." "all the riches of the world." hmm. it's comforting to see that nothing's changed. -you're wrong, emilie. there's no way i could have known this before, but there was always something missing. in every business i tried, i can see now, it wasn't me that failed. something was missing. even if i'd known what it was, there's nothing i could have done about it, because you can't create this thing. -and it makes all the difference in the world between success and failure. luck? war. (ballroom dance music playing) should i stay? -it's a beautiful city. i asked you if i should stay. it's up to you. promise me, oskar, no doorman or maitre d' will ever presume i'm anyone other than mrs. schindler, and i'll stay. -goodbye, darling.

(horn honking) czurda: -you shouldn't think of them as yours, oskar. you need to understand that some of the officers here don't give a damn about production. to them, it's a matter of national priority that jews be made to shovel snow. it's got nothing to do with reality, oskar. you know it and i know it. -jews shoveling snow, it's got a ritual significance. come with me. i am an essential worker. essential worker? yes. -(officer laughing) i work for oskar schindler. essential worker for oskar schindler. a one-armed jew? yes, yes. -twice as useless! i lost a day of production, rolf. lowenstein: i work for oskar schindler. danka, look at the snow. -look at the snow. look at the snow!

(moaning) (panting and moaning) -herr direktor? shit. i don't believe it. stern, is that you? no, it's poldek. -it's about stern. soldier on pa: leave your luggage on the platform. clearly label it. given name first, then your surname. -do not bring your baggage with you. it will follow you later. leave your luggage on the platform. clearly label it. man on loudspeaker: -stern? he's on the list. he is? well, let's find him. i'm sorry. -you can't have him. he's on the list. if he were an essential worker he would not be on the list. i'm talking to a clerk. what is your name? -sir, the list is correct. i didn't ask you about the list. i asked you your name. klaus tauber. tauber. -hauptscharführer, this gentleman thinks a mistake's been made. my plant manager is somewhere on this train. if it leaves with him on it, it'll disrupt production and the armaments board will want to know why. is he on the list? yes, sir. -itzhak stern. well, the list is correct, sir. there is nothing i can do. what is your name? soldier on pa: -close and secure all doors. my name? my name is kunder. this train is now leaving. kunder. -hauptscharführer kunder. k-u-n-d-e-r. and what's yours? schindler. s-c-h-i-n-d-l-e-r. -gentlemen, thank you very much. i think i can guarantee you you'll both be in southern russia before the end of the month. good day. conductor: stern! -stern! stern! itzhak stern!

(humming) -goeth: today is history. today will be remembered. years from now, the young will ask with wonder about this day. today is history, and you are part of it. -600 years ago, (singing morning prayer) when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the black death, kazimierz the great so-called, told the jews they could come to krakow. they came. not that fat. no, less. -they trundled their belongings into the city. yes, a bit less. they settled. they took hold. they prospered in business, science, education, the arts. -they came here with nothing.

(sniffs) -thank you. leave the bottle. take that. lena, thank you. scherner told me something else about you. -yeah? what's that? that you know the meaning of the word "gratitude." that it's not some vague thing with you like it is with others. you want to stay where you are. -you've got things going on the side. things are good. you don't want anybody telling you what to do. i can understand all that, you know. i know you. -what you want is your own sub-camp. do you have any idea what is involved? the paperwork alone, and then you've got to build the fucking thing. getting the fucking permits is enough to drive you crazy. then the engineers show up, they stand around, they argue about drainage, foundations, codes, exact specifications, parallel fences 4 kilometers long, -1,200 kilograms of barbed wire, 6,000 kilograms of electrified fences, ceramic insulators, 3 cubic meters of air space per prisoner. i'm telling you, you want to shoot somebody. i've been through it, you know? i know. -well, you know. you've been through it. you could make things easier for me. i'd be grateful. soldier: -(dogs barking) (soldier speaking in polish) (whistle blowing) where's stern? goldberg and chilowicz, make sure i see my cut from the factory owners in this camp. -leaving you to take care of my main account, the schindler account. he wants his independence. i gave it to him. but independence costs money. this, you understand? -look at me. don't forget who you are working for now. (woman shrieking) (accordion music playing) man: -jawohl! schindler: make sure he stays. he's a slippery bastard! we need more wine. -more wine! stand on my friend. don't let him leave. (guests chattering and laughing) (guests singing in german) -(toasting in german) thank you, herr direktor. prost, herr direktor! what are you doing? what? -scratching my head. makes them think we have lice. helps make them keep their distance. do you have lice? do you have your notebook? -the calendar on my desk has the birthdays of our ss friends' wives and children. don't forget to send something. record payoffs to the main administration and economics office, the arm... slowly, stern, slowly. the armaments board, governor general's division of the interior and chief of police as "fees." -and make them on the first of each month, as opposed to individual payoffs to our ss contacts. the list is in the lower drawer of my desk, which you... "first of month..." ss contacts list, lower drawer of my desk, which you handle as cash contributions to legitimate charities sent, of course, to each official's office. dealings with our black market contacts listed as suppliers in the legitimate ledger are more complicated. -forget it. what do you mean, forget it? you can't forget it. it gives me a headache. it gives me a headache! -(dogs barking) (sighs) i couldn't get you out of here. i'll be all right. anyway, i'm here almost every week. -wednesdays, usually. i'll look in on you, see how you're doing. here, put these in your pocket. come on. herr direktor, don't let things fall apart. -i've worked too hard. thanks for... good luck. achtung, mützen ab! work! -an die arbeit! what are you making? hinges, sir. i've got some workers coming in tomorrow. where the hell they from again? -yugoslavia, herr kommandant. i've got to make room. make me a hinge. yes, sir. (guards muttering) -keep going, you're doing well. oh, that's very good. but i'm a bit confused and perhaps you can help me. what i don't understand is that you've been working since i think, what, about 6:00 this morning? yet, such a small pile of hinges. -(train whistle blows) (gun clicks) (gun clicks) oh, christ. may i try that, sir? check the angle lever. -maybe it's bent. no, no. you wouldn't hear a click if it was the angle lever. maybe it's the pin. maybe the pin shaft is greasy. -ja, come on. what did i just say? here. (gun clicks) herr kommandant. -i beg to report that my heap of hinges was so unsatisfactory because the machines were being recalibrated this morning. (gun clicks) i was put on to shoveling coal. (gun clicking) (grunts) -(yells) (sobbing) strange, huh? yeah. thank you, muek. -ah, lisiek. don't touch the leather, it's just been oiled. rottenführer. oh, for me? oh, thank you very much, herr direktor. -stern: herr direktor! herr direktor! herr direktor. he was making hinges slowly. -so the man can turn out a hinge in less than a minute. why the long story? hmm? (machines whirring) thank you, sir. -you're welcome. nobody knows who stole the chicken, hmm? tell him about the chicken. a man walks around with a chicken and nobody notices this. save yourselves. -tell him about the chicken. still nobody knows. (sobbing) it was you. you committed this crime. -no, sir. but you know who, though. yes. who? him! -he's very gifted. yeah, sure. bring him over. sir. thank you. -thank you again, herr direktor. you're welcome again. it's an honor to work for such a great company. it's great to have you. i promise to learn everything there is to know about enamelware production. -that's great. hello? miss elsa krause is here. i only need 5 minutes. she wants to speak to the herr direktor. -yes. he won't see you. please, sit down. pernod? cognac? -no. no, thank you. so, what can i do for you? they say that no one dies here. they say your factory is a haven. -they say you are good. who says that? everyone. my name is regina perlman, not elsa krause. i've been living in krakow on false papers since the ghetto massacre. -my parents are in plaszow. their names are chana and jakob perlman. they are older people. they are killing older people now in plaszow. they bury them up in the forest. -look, i don't have any money. i borrowed these clothes. i'm begging you. please. -please bring them here. i don't do that. you've been misled. i ask one thing. whether or not the worker has certain skills. -that's what i ask and that's what i care about. my father is an importer, not a metalworker. such activities are illegal. you will not entrap me! cry and i will have you arrested. -i swear to god! (sobbing) people die. it's a fact of life. he wants to kill everybody? -great! what am i supposed to do about it? bring everybody over? is that what you think? send them over to schindler. -send them all! his place is a haven, didn't you know? it's not a factory. it's not an enterprise of any kind. it's a haven for rabbis and orphans and people with no skills whatsoever! -(sighs) you think i don't know what you're doing? you're so quiet all the time. i know, i know! are you losing money? -no i'm not losing money. that's not the point! so the point is? it is dangerous. it's dangerous to me! -you have to understand. goeth is under enormous pressure. you have to think of it in his situation. he's got this whole place to run. he's responsible for everything that goes on here, all these people. -he's got a lot of things to worry about. and he's got the war which brings out the worst in people. never the good, always the bad. always the bad. but in normal circumstances he wouldn't be like this. -he'd be all right. there'd just be the good aspects of him, which... (chuckles) he's a wonderful crook. a man who loves good food, good wine, the ladies, making money... killing. -he can't enjoy it. bejski told me the other day, somebody escaped from a work detail outside the wire. goeth lined up everybody from the missing man's barracks. he shot the man to the left of bejski, the man to the right of him. he walked down the line shooting every other man with a pistol. -twenty five. what do you want me to do about it? nothing, nothing. we're just talking. "perlman." -perlman! husband and wife. jakob and chana perlman! have goldberg bring them over. (guests singing drunkenly in german) -i'm sure this will be better than those rags, lisiek. herr direktor, i was just helping lisiek to find something to clean the stains from the herr kommandant's bathtub. go clean it. pardon me, herr direktor. (schindler chuckles) -you don't have to report to me, helen. you know who i am? hmm? (whispering) i'm schindler. of course. -i have heard and you have been here before. here, why don't you keep this someplace? go on, take it. i get extra food here. well, if you don't want to eat it, trade it. -or give it to lisiek. why not build yourself up? my first day here, he beat me because i threw out the bones from dinner. he came down to the basement at midnight, and he... he asked me where they were. -for his dogs, you understand. i said to him, i don't know how i say this. i never could say it now, i said to him, "why are you beating me?" he said, "the reason i beat you now is because you ask why i beat you." -i know your sufferings, helen. it doesn't matter. i have accepted them. accepted them? one day he will shoot me. -no, no, no, he won't shoot you. i know. i see things. we were on the roof on monday, young lisiek and i, and we saw the herr kommandant come out of the front door and down the steps by the patio, right there below us, and there on the steps he drew his gun and he shot a woman who was passing by. -a woman carrying a bundle. through the throat. just a woman on her way somewhere, you know? she was no fatter or thinner or slower or faster than anyone else, and i couldn't guess what had she done. the more you see of the herr kommandant, the more you see there is no set rules that you can live by. -you can't say to yourself, "if i follow these rules, i will be safe." he won't shoot you because he enjoys you too much. he enjoys you so much he won't even let you wear the star. he doesn't want anyone else to know it's a jew he's enjoying. he shot the woman from the steps because she meant nothing to him. -she was one of a series, neither offending or pleasing him. but you, helen. it's all right. it's not that kind of a kiss. (sobbing) -thank you. shh. here. right. the wine. -wonderful party, amon. thank you. (groans) why do you drink that motor oil? hmm? -i send you good stuff all the time. your liver's going to explode like a hand grenade. you know, i look at you. i watch you. (sighs) -you're never drunk. oh, that's... that's real control. control is power. that's power. -schindler: is that why they fear us? we have the fucking power to kill, that's why they fear us. they fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily. a man commits a crime, he should know better. -we have him killed, and we feel pretty good about it. or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better. that's not power, though. that's justice. it's different than power. -power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't. you think that's power? that's what the emperors had. a man stole something, he's brought in before the emperor, he throws himself down on the ground, he begs for mercy. he knows he's going to die. -and the emperor pardons him. this worthless man. he lets him go. i think you are drunk. that's power, amon. -that is power. amon the good. i pardon you. goeth: what do they want? -stern: i don't know, but they're in my office right now reviewing our books. as my accountant, tell me, should i be alarmed that the auditors are reviewing my books? well... or have you done your job properly? -you needn't be alarmed. i needn't be alarmed. (shouts angrily) (gasps) i'm sorry, sir. do you know how much this saddle is worth? -do you know how much it costs? all right. (panting) all right. stern, what the hell are you doing following me around? -(whistling) (both whistling) (children chattering) (whimpering) she was smoking on the job. -tell her not to do it again. (shouting) (footsteps approaching) i have to report, sir. i've been unable to remove the stains from your bathtub. -what are you using, lisiek? soap, commandant. soap? not lye? go ahead, go on, leave. -leave, i pardon you. i pardon you. (gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) -(sighs) woman: although i am not a rabbi, in these circumstances i pray to the almighty that he will forgive me if i intone the blessings. woman singer in club: -so... this is where you come to hide from me. i came to tell you that you really are a wonderful cook and a well-trained servant. i mean it, if you need a reference after the war, i'd be happy to give you one. -it must get lonely down here when you're listening to everyone upstairs having such a good time. does it? you can answer. but what's the right answer? that's what you're thinking. -what does he want to hear? the truth, helen, is always the right answer. yes, you're right. sometimes we're both lonely. yes. -i... (sighs) i mean, i would like so much to reach out and touch you in your loneliness. what would that be like, i wonder? i mean... -what would be wrong with that? i realize that you're not a person in the strictest sense of the word, but... (sighs) no, maybe you're right about that too, you know, maybe what's wrong isn't... not us. it's... no, it's this. -i mean, when they compare you to vermin, and to rodents, and to lice... i just... no, you make a good point. you make a very good point. is this the face of a rat? -are these the eyes of a rat? hath not a jew eyes? i feel for you, helen. (panting) no, i don't think so. -you're a jewish bitch. you nearly talked me into it, didn't you? didn't you? bravo. (grunts) -(murmuring happily) (grunts) (yells) (violin music playing) guests: -hoch! hoch! hoch! bravo! man: -bravo! guests: hoch! hoch! hoch! -(laughing) (music and talking stops) on behalf of the other workers, sir, i wish for you a happy birthday. happy birthday -well, the staff, please. thank you very much for the lovely cake. (officer clears throat) thank you very much. tell them thank you from me. -the trains arrived and the people were driven out with clubs. they were lined up in front of two big warehouses. one was marked "cloak room," and the other "valuables." and there they were made to undress. a jewish boy handed them pieces of string to tie their shoes together. -they shaved their hair. they told them it was needed to make something special for u-boat crews. and then they were herded down a big corridor to bunkers with stars of david on the doors and signs that said "bath and inhalation room." ss gave them soap. they told them to breathe all the time because it's good for disinfecting. -and then they gassed them. mila, why soaps? so that they would agree to go in, i think. come on, mila, stop it. your bedtime stories are scaring everyone. -yeah. you know it's ridiculous. i cannot believe it. i didn't say i believed it. i said i heard it. -from who? from somebody who heard it from someone who was there. you know, if they were there, they would have been gassed. yes. it doesn't make any sense. -we're their workforce. what sense does it make to kill your own workforce? to go to all this trouble of assembling a workforce only to... no, it can't be true. we are very, very important for them. -woman 1: yeah, we do now. good night. woman 2: good night. -woman 3: good night. sweet dreams. iman on pa: attention, attention. -everyone who is alive is to come to the appellplatz. attention, attention. we have to go to the appellplatz. everyone who is alive... mrs. dresner: -the list makers are here. ...is to come to the appellplatz. there is going to be a selection. attention, attention. everyone who is alive is to come to the appellplatz. -(whistle blowing) (whistlecontinues) (speaking german indistinctly) you could afford to lose some weight, amon. and you've got to cut down on the cognac. -morning. what's going on? it's another semi-annual physical. there. oh, i've got another shipment coming in... -what are they this time? hungarians. ja, hungarians. we've got to separate the sick from the healthy to make room. soldeir: -teraz! teraz! (gute nacht mutter playing) (soldiers shouting in german) (shouting in german) -(soldier shouting in german) (speaking indistinctly) (song continuing) woman: let me help you. -soldier: zack, zack, zack! woman 1: we've got to go out there. woman 2: -don't go. look alive, rebeka. that's my mechanic. whose bright idea was it to get rid of him? (soldier shouting indistinctly) -soldier: formowac kolmune! no, no, no. wait, go away. she can work. -come here. look, separate the sick from the healthy. those who can work and those who can't. she can work. you can work, you can come. -(mamatschi playing) (children singing along) (children continue singing) those not selected for transport, put your clothes back on. hujar: -go back to the barracks. return to the barracks.

(chuckling) did your prick fall off? (both laughing) (continues laughing) -goeth: he likes women. he likes good-looking women. he sees a beautiful woman, he doesn't think. (chuckles) -i mean... he has so many women. and they love him. ja, they love him. i mean, he is married, ja, but he's... -all right, no. she was jewish. he shouldn't have done it. but you didn't see this girl. i saw this girl. -this girl was, woof... she was very good-looking. they cast a spell on you, you know, the jews. when you work closely with them, like i do, you see this. they have this power. -it's like a virus. some of my men are infected with this virus. they should be pitied, not punished. they should receive treatment. this is as real as typhus. -i see this all the time. it's a matter of money? hmm? you're offering me a bribe? a bribe? -no. no, please. it's a gratuity. heil hitler! hello, amon. -sit down. we give you jewish girls at 5 marks a day, oskar. you should kiss us, not them. god forbid you ever get a real taste for jewish skirt. there's no future in it. -they don't have a future. that's not just good, old-fashioned, jew-hating talk. it's policy now. (children laughing) solder: -(choir singing requiem) (screaming insanely) (laughing) (conversing in german) (requiem continues) goeth: -can you believe this? as if i don't have enough to do, they come up with this? i have to find every rag buried up here and burn it. the party's over, oskar. they're closing us down, sending everybody to auschwitz. -when? i don't know. as soon as i can arrange the shipments. maybe 30, 40 days. that ought to be fun. -schindler: i've been talking to goeth. i know the destination. these are the evacuation orders. i'm to help organize the shipments, put myself on the last train. -that's not what i was going to say. i made goeth promise me he'll put in a good word for you. nothing bad is going to happen to you there. you'll receive special treatment. the directives coming in from berlin mention "special treatment" more and more often. -i'd like to think that's not what you mean. preferential treatment, all right? do we have to invent a whole new language? i think so. you're staying, i take it. -in krakow? what on earth for? what for? you have a business to run. of course, you'll have to hire new workers. -poles, i guess. they cost a little more, but... what are you going to do? you ran my business. no, i'm going home. -i've done what i came here for. i've got more money than any man can spend in a lifetime. some day, this is all going to end, you know. i was going to say we'll have a drink then. i think i better have it now. -(god bless the child playing) bible says and it still is news mama may have papa may have but god bless the child that's got his own that's got his own -yes, the strong gets more while the weak ones fade empty pockets don't ever make the grade mama may have papa may have but god bless the child that's got his own -that's got his own money, you've got lots of friends they're pounding on your... goeth: i don't understand. -you want these people? "these people"? my people, i want my people. who are you, moses? come on, what is this? -where's the money in this? where's the scam? it's good business. it's good business in your opinion. look, you've got to move them, the equipment, everything to czechoslovakia. -pay for all that and build another camp. doesn't make any sense. look, amon... look you're not telling me something. it's good for me. -i know them. i'm familiar with them. i don't have to train them. you're not telling me something. it's good for you. -i'll compensate you. that's right. it's good for the army. yeah, of course. you know what i'm going to make? -what? artillery shells. everyone's making artillery shells. tank shells, they need that. tanks shells, ja. -everybody's happy. everyone's happy except me. you're probably scamming me somehow. if i'm making 100, you've got to be making 300. and if you admit to making 300, then it's 400 actually. -but how? i just told you. you did but you didn't. ja all right, don't tell me. i'll go along with it. -it's just irritating i can't work it out. look, all you have to do is tell me what it's worth to you. what's a person worth to you? no, no, no, no. what's one worth to you? -poldek pfefferberg. mila pfefferberg. and... uh... stagel, stagel... -paul. paul stagel. stern: doctor. the investors. -i want all of them. yes, sir. fischer. ismail fischer. fischer, ismail. -josef scharf. one moment, sir. i'm sorry, sir. come on, stern. scharf, scharf. -the children. all the children. stern: herbert stier. schindler: -thank you. how many? four hundred, 450. more, more. feigenbaum, jakob. -wolf. wolf wein. feigenbaum, lutek, jakob... nacha. yes? -nacha. nacha, that's right. schindler: and wolf. how many? -600. more. schindler: you can do the same thing i'm doing. you might even make money at it. -madritsch: i don't know. come on, julius, i know about the extra food and clothes you give them. paid for out of your own pocket. if we make a combined approach, we could get more than 4,000 out, mine and yours. -oskar... we could relocate them in something like safety, in moravia. i don't know. how many cigarettes have you smoked tonight? too many. -for every one... you smoke, i smoke half. i've done all i can. i will not accept that. no, oskar, i can't do any more. -i will not accept that. no. how many? how many? 850, give or take. -give or take what, stern? count them. how many? that's it. you can finish that page. -what did goeth say about this? you just told him how many people you needed and... you're not buying them. you're buying them? you're paying him for each of these names? -if you were still working for me, i'd expect you to talk me out of it. it's costing me a fortune. finish the page and leave one space at the bottom. you... -the list is an absolute good. the list is life. all around its margins lies the gulf. oskar, there's a clerical error here at the bottom of the last page. no, there's one more name i want to put there. -i'll never find a maid as well trained as her at brinnlitz. they are all country girls. no. no. one hand of 21. -no. if you win, i pay you 7,400 reichsmarks. no. hit a natural, i make it 14,800. no. -if i win, the girl goes on my list. i can't wager helen in a carol game. why not? wouldn't be right. she's just going to auschwitz november 2, anyway. -what difference does it make? she's not going to auschwitz. i'd never do that to her. no, i want her to come back to vienna with me. i want her to come to work for me there. -i want to grow old with her. are you mad? amon, you can't take her to vienna with you. no, of course i can't. that's what i'd like to do. -what i can do, if i'm any sort of a man, is the next most merciful thing. i shall take her into the woods and shoot her painlessly in the back of the head. what was it you said for a natural 21? was it 14,800? schindlerjuden to these tables! -say your names clearly. we are the family dresner. juda, jonas, donata, and chaja. we are rosners. henry, manci... -and leo. and our son. i am olek. maria mischel. chaim nowak. -wulkan, markus. michael lemper. itzhak stern. rebeka and joseph bau. rosalia nussbaum. -wilhelm nussbaum. jakob levartov. farber, rosa. farber, andrzej. sara. -friehof, fischel. mietek pemper. poldek and mila pfefferberg. horowitz, dolek. adam levy. -marcel goldberg. klipstein, isak david. altmann, eduard. grunberg, miriam. luftig, eliasz. -hilmann, eduard. erna rothberg. zuckermann, jetti. helen hirsch.

"perlman. " perlman! husband and wife. jakob and chana perlman! -have goldberg bring them over. caps off! ready for inspection! i'm sure this will be better than those rags, lisiek. mr. director, i was just helping lisiek to find something to clean the stains from the commander's bathtub. -go clean it. pardon me, sir! you don't have to report to me, helen. you know who i am? i'm schindler. -of course. i, i have heard and you have been here before. here, why don't you keep this someplace? go on, take it. i get extra food here. -well, if you don't want to eat it, trade it. or give it to lisiek. why not build yourself up? my first day here, he beat me because i threw out the bones from dinner. he came down to the basement at midnight, and he he asked me where they were. -for his dogs, you understand? i said to him, i, i don't know how i say this. i never could say it now, i said to him "why are you beating me?" he said, "the reason i beat you now is because you ask why i beat you. " i know your sufferings, helen. -it doesn't matter. i have accepted them. accepted them? one day he will shoot me. no, no, no, no, he won't shoot you. -i know. i see things. we were on the roof on monday, young lisiek and i... and we saw the commander come out of the front door and and down the steps by the patio right there below us and and there on the steps he drew his gun and he shot a woman who was passing by. a woman carrying a bundle. through the throat. -just-just a woman on her way somewhere, you know. she was no fatter or thinner or slower or faster than anyone else and i couldn't guess what had she done. the more you see of the commander the more you see there is no set rules that you can live by. you can't say to yourself, "if i follow these rules, i will be safe. " he won't shoot you because he enjoys you too much. -he enjoys you so much he won't even let you wear the star. he doesn't want anyone else to know, it's a jew he's enjoying. he shot the woman from the steps because she meant nothing to him. she was one of a series neither offending or pleasing him. but you, helen! -it's all right. it's not that kind of a kiss. thank you! here! right, the wine! -wonderful party, amon. thank you. why do you drink that motor oil? i send you good stuff all the time. your liver's going to explode like a hand grenade. -you know, i look at you i watch you! you're never drunk. oh, that's that's real control. control is power. that's power. -is that why they fear us? we have the fucking power to kill, that's why they fear us. they fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily. a man commits a crime, he should know better. we have him killed, and we feel pretty good about it. -or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better. that's not power, though. that's justice. it's different than power. power is when we have every justification to kill and we don't. -you think that's power? that's what the emperors had. a man stole something he's brought in before the emperor he throws himself down on the ground, he begs for mercy. he knows he's going to die. and the emperor, pardons him. -this worthless man. he lets him go. i think you are drunk. that's power, amon. that, is power! -amon the good! i pardon you! what do they want? i don't know, but they're in my office right now reviewing our books. as my accountant, tell me, should i be alarmed that the auditors are reviewing my books? -or have you done your job properly? you needn't be alarmed. i needn't be alarmed! i'm sorry, sir. do you know how much this saddle is worth? -do you know how much it costs? all right! all right! stern, what the hell are you doing following me around? barracks one, eleven fifteen and thirty-two apply to inspection area. -she was smoking on the job. tell her not to do it again. i have to report, sir i've been unable to remove the stains from your bathtub. what are you using, lisiek? soap, commander. -soap? not lye? go ahead, go on, leave. leave, i pardon you. i pardon you! -although i am not a rabbi, in these circumstances i pray to the almighty that he will forgive me if i intone the blessings. so this is where you come to hide from me. i came to tell you that you, um, you really are ...a wonderful cook and a well-trained servant. i mean it. if you need a reference after the war i'd be, i'd be happy to give you one. -it must get lonely down here when you're.. ...listening to everyone upstairs having such a good time. does it? you can answer. but what's the right answer? -that's what you're thinking: "what does he want to hear?" the truth, helen, is always the right answer. yes, you're right. sometimes we're both lonely. -yes. i i mean i would like so much to reach out and touch you in your loneliness. wh- what would that be like, i wonder? i mean what would be wrong with that? i realize that you're not a- a person in the the strictest sense of the word, but... -no, maybe you're right about that too, you know, maybe what's what's wrong isn't it's not us! it's, no, it's this! i mean, when they compare you to to, uh, vermin and to rodents and to lice i just, uh... no, no, you, you make a good point. you make a very good point. -is this the face of a rat? are these the eyes of a rat? hath not a jew eyes? i feel for you, helen. no, i don't think so. -you're a jewish bitch! you nearly talked me into it, didn't you? bravo! bravo! cheers! -cheers! on behalf of the, of the workers, sir, i, i wish for you a happy birthday. happy birthday! well, the staff, please. -thank you very much for the lovely cake. thank you very much. tell them "thank you" from me. the trains arrived and the people were driven out with clubs. they were lined up in front of two big warehouses. -one was marked "cloak room" and the other "valuables. " and there they were made to undress. a jewish boy handed them pieces of string to tie their shoes together. they shaved their hair. they told them it was needed to make something special for u-boat crews. -and then they were herded down a big corridor to bunkers with stars of david on the doors and signs that said "bath and inhalation room" ss gave them soap. they told them to breathe all the time because it's good for disinfecting. and then they gassed them. mila, why soaps? -so that they would agree to go in, i think. come on, mila, stop it. your bedtime stories are scaring everyone. i just don't believe it. ja. -you know it's ridiculous. i don't believe it either. i cannot believe it. i didn't say i believed it. i said i heard it. -from who? from somebody who heard it from someone who was there. you know, if they were there, they would have been gassed. yes! it doesn't make any sense. -we're their workforce. what sense does it make to kill your own workforce? to go to all this trouble of assembling a workforce only to... no, it can't be true. we are very, very important for them. -yes, we do now! goodnight. goodnight. goodnight. sweet dreams. -attention, attention! everyone who is alive is to come to the roll-call area! attention, attention! we have to go to the roll-call area! everyone who is alive... -the list makers are here. ... is to come to the roll-call area. there is going to be a selection. attention, attention. everyone who is alive is to come to the roll-call area! -gentlemen! gentlemen! 100.000 hungarian is coming. all stand in a single row! you could afford to lose some weight, amon. -and you've got to cut down on the cognac. morning. what's going on?

i violated the race and resettlement act. though i doubt anyone can point out the actual provision to me. i kissed a jewish girl. did your prick fall off? -he likes women. he likes good-looking women. he sees a beautiful woman, he doesn't think. i mean, he has so many women. and they love him. -yeah, they love him. i mean, he is married, yeah, but he's... all right, no. she was jewish. he shouldn't have done it. -but you didn't see this girl. i saw this girl. this girl was, woof she was very good-looking. they cast a spell on you, you know, the jews. when you work closely with them, like i do, you see this. -they have this power. it's like a virus. some of my men are infected with this virus. they should be pitied, not punished. they should receive treatment. -this is as real as typhus. i see this all the time. it's a matter of money? you're offering me a bribe? a bribe? -no. no, please. it's a gratuity. heil hitler! hello, amon! -sit down! we give you jewish girls at five marks a day, oskar. you should kiss us, not them. god forbid you ever get a real taste for jewish skirt. there's no future in it. -they don't have a future. that's not just good, old-fashioned, jew-hating talk. it's policy now. yeah, beautiful, good! again, yes! -good! come on faster! be quick! move your ass! it could be done quicker! -hurry up, don't sleep! only the whole pieces, leave the small parts! what's going on here? you can do it with your hands, quick! come here! -only the whole pieces, leave the fucking small parts! now you better make it quick, get rid of this shit! that's it! immortals! immortals are all around! -can you believe this? as if i don't have enough to do, they come up with this? i have to find every rag buried up here and burn it. the party's over, oskar. they're closing us down, sending everybody to auschwitz. -when? i don't know. as soon as i can arrange the shipments. maybe 30, 40 days. that ought to be fun. -i've been talking to goeth. i know the destination. these are the evacuation orders. i'm to help organize the shipments, put myself on the last train. that's not what i was going to say. -i made goeth promise me he'll put in a good word for you. nothing bad is going to happen to you there. you'll receive special treatment. the directives coming in from berlin mention... "special treatment" more and more often. -i'd like to think that's not what you mean. preferential treatment, alright? should we invent a whole new language? i think so. you're staying, i take it. -in krakow? what on earth for? what for? you have a business to run. of course, you'll have to hire new workers. -poles, i guess. they cost a little more, but... what are you going to do? you ran my business. no, i'm going home. -i've done what i came here for. i've got more money than any man can spend in a lifetime. some day, this is all going to end, you know. i was going to say we'll have a drink then. i think i better have it now. -i don't understand. i mean, you want these people? "these people"? my people, i want my people. who are you, moses? -come on, what is this? where's the money in this? where's the scam? it's good business. it's good business in your opinion. -look, you've got to move them, the equipment, everything to czechoslovakia. pay for all that and build another camp. doesn't make any sense. look, amon, it's good for me... you're not telling me something. -i know them. i'm familiar with them. i don't have to train them. you're not telling me something. it's good for you. -i'll compensate you. that's right. it's good for the army. you know what i'm going to make? what? -artillery shells. everyone is making artillery shells. tank shells, they need that. tanks shells, yeah! everybody's happy. -everyone's happy, except me. you're probably scamming me somehow. if i'm making a hundred, you've got to be making three. and if you admit to making three, then it's four actually. but how? -i just told you. you did, but you didn't. yeah, all right, don't tell me. i'll go along with it. it's just irritating i can't work it out. -look, all you have to do is tell me what it's worth to you. what's a person worth to you? no, no, no, no. what's one worth to you? poldek pfefferberg, mila pfefferberg and uh uh, stagel, stagel... -paul. paul! paul stagel. doctor... the investors. -i want all of them. yes, sir. uh, fischer. ismail fischer. fischer, ismail. -josef scharf. one moment, sir. i'm sorry, sir. come on, stern. scharf, scharf. -the children, all the children! herbert stier. thank you. how many? 400, 450. -more, more! good morning. feigenbaum, jakob. wolf. wolf wein. -feigenbaum: lutek, jakob, nacha. yes? nacha. nacha, that's right. -and wolf. how many? 600. more! you can do the same thing i'm doing. -you might even make money at it. i don't know. come on, julius, i know about the extra food and clothes you give them. paid for out of your own pocket. if we make a combined approach we could get more than 4,000 out, mine and yours. -oskar! we could relocate them in something like safety, in moravia. i don't know. how many cigarettes have you smoked tonight? too many! -for every one you smoke, i smoke half. i've done all i can. i will not accept that. no, oskar, i can't do any more. i will not accept that. -no! how many? how many? 850, give or take. give or take what, stern? -count them. how many? that's it. you can finish that page. what... did... -goeth... say about this? you just told him how many people you needed and... you're not buying them? you're buying them? -you're paying him for each of these names? if you were still working for me, i'd expect you to talk me out of it. it's costing me a fortune. finish the page and leave one space at the bottom. you... -the list is an absolute good. the list... is life. all around its margins lies the gulf. oskar, there's a clerical error here at the bottom of the last page. no, there's one more name i want to put there. -i'll never find a maid as well trained as her at brinnlitz. they are all country girls. no! no! one hand of twenty-one. -no! if you win, i pay you 7,400 reichsmarks. no! hit a natural, i make it 14,800. no! -if i win, the girl goes on my list. i can't wager helen in a card game. why not? wouldn't be right. she's just going to auschwitz number two, anyway. -what difference does it make? she's not going to auschwitz. i'd never do that to her. no, i want her to come back to vienna with me. i want her to come to work for me there. -i want to grow old with her. are you mad? amon, you can't take her to vienna with you. no, of course i can't. that's what i'd like to do. -what i can do, if i'm any sort of a man, is the next most merciful thing. i shall take her into the woods and shoot her painlessly in the back of the head. what was it you said for a natural 21? was it 14,800? jews of schindler, to these tables! -say your names clearly. we are the family dresner. juda, jonas donata and chaja. we are rosners. henry, manci... -and leo. and our son. i am olek. maria mischel. chaim nowak. -wulkan, markus. michael lemper. itzhak stern. rebeka and joseph bau. rosalia nussbaum. -wilhelm nussbaum. jakob levartov. farber, rosa. farber, andrzej. sara. -friehof, fischel. mietek pemper. poldek and mila pfefferberg. horowitz, dolek. adam levy. -marcel goldberg. klipstein, isak david. altmann, eduard. grunberg, miriam. luftig, eliasz. -hilmann, eduard. erna rothberg. zuckermann, jetti. helen hirsch. the worst is over. -men to this transport and women to this transport. be careful! men to this transport and women to this transport. watch your step! men to this transport and women to this transport. -wonderful olek, wonderful. you know how we make ice into water? olek, get another one! position yourselves all in a single row! you'll be pleased with the level of efficiency i get from these workers. -budzyn, under my command was the envy of every other commandant in the labour camp system. the prisoners, however... excuse me! ...they would have rather been somewhere else. the train with the women has already left plaszow and will be arriving here very shortly. -i know you've had a long journey. but it's only a short walk further to the factory where hot soup and bread is waiting for you. diane: oh. jolie: -the culprit isn't one of these. this is when we explain to the jury about cross-racial identification. studies still haven't adequately explained why, but it's harder for caucasians to identify subtle differences in african-american faces, and african-americans in caucasians. and how much do you charge to say that? my consultation rates are comparable. -twenty-thousand dollars for a routine appeal. well, we filed an evidentiary appeal, but we don't know if we have it yet. would you like to try it? let me guess, a terrorist? you don't need a story, do you? -which one is it? none of them. you're confident? nope, number three. shores: -hey, hide everything. quick, here comes the opposition. kalinda: what's up, muller? hey, shores, busy day, i see. -hey, we're at a 65 percent clearance rate. we're doing our part to clean up after you. yeah, looks that way. so clarence wilcox, tell me about his lineup. that was six years ago. -yeah. well, lady comes in, describes the suspect. male, black, mid-20s, 6 feet tall, wearing a bulls sweatshirt. so... she seemed pretty certain, so we went over to howie and he did a sketch. -yeah, yeah. so we found your guy, he matched the sketch. he had a blood spatter on his sweat top. he tried to wash the blood out, but he failed. so we put him in the lineup. -six guys, all black. all the same height, same build. the lady pointed right at him. and? and... -and we went out for steaks afterward. i don't know what you wanna hear. what i wanna hear is that you didn't put your thumb on the scale. no hint, no nod, no nudge? no hint, no nod, no nudge. -and what about a six-pack? did you show her the six-pack first? is it in the investigative report? then, no. wow. -you've lost your sense of humor these days. kalinda: hey, muller, what's up? i thought you weren't helping on this one. the eyewitness described him as a 6-foot black man, mid-20s, in a bulls sweatshirt. -oh, my god. yeah, the only one in a bulls sweatshirt. they showed the eyewitness this six-pack before the lineup. i've gotta get this to will. it's enough for an evidentiary appeal. -probably. if you're gonna go all the way with this, you're gonna have to talk to your husband. my husband, why? he knows where the bodies are buried. no. -thanks for this. you okay? yeah. okay, so we got our retrial. good job getting that six-pack. -oh, that was kalinda. now things get interesting. bree, i want you pull together everything we have from the first trial. cary and alicia, i want you to re-interview all witnesses. six years go by, people have a very different memory of things. -get kalinda to undercut this eyewitness. whatever dirt you can dig up. you're not gonna find anything. we'll see. everybody's got something. -okay, today's a win. now, let's see about tomorrow. peter florrick, report to interview room 5. florrick, interview room 5. kalinda? -yeah. where's alicia? baby. kalinda: your wife doesn't wanna visit you to get your take on this case. -i don't deal in the same moral shades of black and white, so... hi. what case? clarence wilcox. she's defending a cop killer? -but he did it. you know he did it. what i know and what i don't shifted a bit. this goes back to childs. he was top man on that case. -yeah, he's not happy about the retrial. this could hurt childs. it could. it's an interesting dynamic, isn't it? if childs does poorly, voters remember me fondly. -you know what i like about you? you're three months into a ten-year sentence, and you're plotting your political comeback. politics is just a game of chutes and ladders. right now, i'm at square one. but here's our problem. -you see that? conversation between family members and convicts is subject to prison surveillance, except under certain circumstances. conjugal circumstances? now, you and i are adults. we can talk honestly and directly. -i can help you with your case, but i can't help you. clarence: i've done other things in my life. if you want i can tell you about them. but i didn't do this. -did the officer who took your mug shot...? shores. right, detective shores. did he put you in that bulls sweatshirt? no. -did anybody else? clarence: no, i came in wearing it. didn't they want it for evidence? yeah, but they wanted to take my mug shot first. -they made you keep it on for the mug shot? yeah. did they say why? no, when i tried to take it off, that guy shores, he said: "no, keep it on." -they wanted it in the picture. and here we are again, mrs. florrick. your honor. and who do we have over here? oh, asa becker, and my goodness, the deputy state's attorney, mr. brody. -how are you today? we're ready, your honor. well, it's strange that we have to be ready at all because i thought this case was previously adjudicated, but the appellate court has found reason to reverse my ruling. not by our hand, your honor. that's right. -so who saw fit to question my ruling, mrs. florrick? we mean no disrespect. your honor was given incorrect information by those trying the case. ah. good, well, as long as there's no disrespect. -i mean, i guess it's better to be considered a fool than a cheat, right? well, shall we begin, mr. becker? your honor, we'd like to introduce into record the transcripts from the first trial. objection. overruled. -so moved. the prosecution rests, your honor. cuesta: well, thank you, mr. brody. mr. gardner, are you ready to proceed? -i must admit we were caught a bit off-guard. yes, my guess is that was mr. brody's intention. it was, your honor. will: defense requests recess until tomorrow morning. -no, no, no. you see, i know how this works, counselor. you still need time to prep your witnesses. now, mr. brody has surprised you, and now the ball is in your court. actually, your honor, our witnesses are on their way to court right now. -cuesta: oh, good, well then, we just need a short recess. ten minutes. yes, i know i said tomorrow, but this could be a matter of life and death. what time you think you'll be back from baltimore? -call me back with an eta. please have him call me back as soon as he gets this message. got one, two hours away. we need to talk. we're short a witness. -remember what i said about visiting your husband? yes. well, i know you like obsessing over the ethical niceties, illinois court ruling 1.6 subsection c. an attorney may use leaked information just... -kalinda, there's no need. peter's got nothing on this case. he does. how do you know? i saw him. -you saw him? you saw peter? yeah. you visited my husband in prison? i used to work for him. -i told you that. how often did you visit my husband in prison? please, don't go there. why not? because it's not pertinent. -and it's not true. don't visit my husband in prison. then you visit him. you wanna help clarence, go visit him. well? -defense calls alec shores as a witness. objection, your honor. detective shores isn't on the defense's witness list. that's right. he's on yours. -well, is he in court, anyway? maybe we can get something done today. i want you to do this. cary prepped for it. you know it? -let's go. shores: yeah, that's the sweatshirt he was wearing. so? and you don't think it's prejudicial to put only one suspect wearing a bulls sweatshirt in a photo lineup intended to find a suspect in a bulls sweatshirt? -i don't know. it's what he was wearing. and you found blood stains on this sweatshirt? he tried to wash the blood out, but it left a stain. and where was the stain, detective? -where? here. the witness is pointing to the forearm of his right sleeve. and how did the suspect explain the stain? yeah, he said that he was in a pick-up game the night before the murder. -made contact, and he got a nosebleed. and this blood matched the victim's? no, the police lab could not get a dna match. since he washed the shirt, it degraded the blood. so that would be a no. -that would be a no. detective, i'm curious, if you got a nosebleed in a pick-up game, what would you do? i don't understand the question. you're playing some two-on-two, you wanna keep playing, your nose is bleeding, what do you do? what do you do? -you do what, you know... let the record show that detective shores attempted to wipe his nose with the forearm of his right sleeve. excuse me, your honor. he did nothing of the kind. consistent with the stain on the accused's sweatshirt. -objection. cuesta: detective shores, what were you preparing to do? your honor, i was preparing to raise my right hand to my face to wipe my nose. objection sustained. -continue, mrs. florrick. detective, isn't it true that the only reason you arrested mr. wilcox is because he was wearing a bulls sweatshirt? no. he matched the physical description. detective, you own a chicago bulls sweatshirt? -objection, your honor. what's the point here? i am trying to show that at the time of mr. wilcox's arrest, bulls apparel was quite popular. so therefore, it wouldn't be unusual to find a multitude of suspects wearing bulls sweatshirts. -overruled. answer the question. no, i do not own one of those. you're under oath, detective shores. i understand that, your honor. -i'm not a fan. well, i am. i have a bulls sweatshirt, identical to that one. your honor, objection. i'm sorry. -you're objecting to me? no. i'm just objecting to the general tenor of... lenny, do you have one of these bulls sweats? judy, how about you? -anyone else? your honor, given this testimony, we request that detective shores work product be excluded from the record. yeah, nice try, gardner. there's nothing here that rises to the level of fruit of the forbidden tree. so you'll have to do better than that. -but you and mrs. florrick do get an e for effort. any further questions? no, your honor. you got some traction on clarence wilcox? looks like it. -what happened with cary? what do you mean? you have him running something down with kalinda? oh, right. -his choice. when you bumped him from second chair. am i being grounded? we had an agreement. six months, and we see what cream rises to the top. -and we are seeing. not if you're promoting one over the other. look... diane. i wanna be very specific here, very clear. -alicia is a secret weapon. she freaks him out. cary? no, matan. she's a junior associate, and the state's attorney's office can't think straight around her. -just dangle alicia in front of them, and they lose control of their case and their bowels. okay, and what about her? her? alicia? what do you mean? -she's still florrick's wife. she has an agenda, whether you believe it or not. and what would that be? embarrassing the man who derailed her husband's career. woman: -there is no audio or visual recording. there is no monitoring, and there is no outside intervention. there is a panic button located just inside the front door should you require our assistance. for security reasons, you will not be permitted to leave the premises until 6 a.m. tomorrow unless said panic button is activated. turn around and raise your arms. -kalinda: you sure? here's the thing, miss. you phoned the cops about an armed robbery a week after the one we're investigating. we thought it might be the same suspect because you're two blocks away from the other. -the suspect, was he possibly wearing a bulls sweatshirt? thank you. wow, this is kind of cool, kind of out here investigating. you're chipper, aren't you? dangerously chipper. -okay, so here's the plan. we look for armed robberies after clarence wilcox was arrested, and see if any match this sketch. that way we get another suspect in court. we'll split the interviews. how long you been working at stern, lockhart? -no. what? ask about the m.o., the bulls sweatshirt. anything that's remotely similar to clarence. what did i do? -uninterested. you're uninterested in talking? how much would you imagine we'd have in common? i don't like talking to people i have a lot in common with. okay, i have a proposition for you. -find this person, i'll tell you whatever you wanna know. whatever i wanna know? and more. okay, you just saved clarence wilcox's life. cary. -there's one for you too. hi. hi. is this weird or what? weird. -and in such pretty accommodations. well, i told them to put in that painting. listen, i have to ask you a favor. no, it's nothing. i know we have a lot of work to do, but... -i haven't taken a shower alone in months. of course. sorry, go. thanks. the weak link in this case is shores. -if i can discredit his testimony, the case falls apart. forty-seventh street homicide. what's that? double-homicide. accused was shot in the back. -shores was accused of planting the gun. was it proven? didn't have to be. at a suppression hearing, judge ruled the gun inadmissible. i had to dp the case. -decline to prosecute. what? was he this man? was the robber this man? could be, i'm not good with faces. -it went so fast. who are you again? a lawyer. you're a lawyer? what are you doing here? -i don't know. was this man, this robber, was he wearing a bulls sweatshirt? a bulls sweatshirt? really, i couldn't say. he burst through the door, and the first thing he said was: -"kiss the floor, don't look up." so i didn't. he said what? "kiss the floor, don't look up." he said those exact words? he had a gun on me. -i think i would remember what he said. it sounded like good advice at the time, so i kissed the floor. okay. thank you very much. hey, kalinda. -so this guy robbed him, told him to kiss the floor in may 2003. yeah, a month after clarence was convicted. and here's the thing, cops told him they caught this robber a month later, maybe two. it couldn't be clarence, because he was in jail. yup, and this guy... -was a really nice guy, by the way. he was supposed to go to court to testify, but they told him they didn't need him, because the robber copped a plea. okay, armed robbery, no injuries, money taken. he probably got four years. whoa. -let's not lose track here. what about my reward? mike, can you look up armed robbery plea bargains in the summer of 2003? what reward? no, no, you know what reward. -let me just think up some embarrassing questions. no, i'm looking for an armed robber. i bet this is the first time this has happened in here. are you okay? i'm great. -are you joking? no, i'm serious. this is the closest five minutes of normalcy i've had in eight months. it's like we're in camp. want me to tell you a story? -good night. matan: your honor, please. this is too much. shores was never found guilty of planting a gun. -because the judge suppressed the gun evidence, and the state's attorney declined to prosecute. is that what peter was saying? will: excuse me, sir. you can talk to me. -leave my junior associate out of this. come on, let's face facts. your honour... that's what we're trying to do, mr. brody. detective shores is an honored homicide detective. -i have worked with him for a decade now. he has been nothing but professio... a perjurer? excuse me, your honor? i don't like someone staring me right in the eye and lying to me. -and there's not a cop i know who isn't a bulls fan. your honor, that is irrelevant. i'll decide what's irrelevant. if you wanna file a complaint, that's why judy is here. now, mr. gardner, i'm finding now reason here to reverse myself. -and i think you made a very strong fruit-of-the-forbidden-tree argument. if i can't trust shores, i can't trust the evidence that's tied to him. so the lineup, the bulls sweatshirt, the artist's sketch, they are now stricken from the record. your honor... cuesta: -shut up. you've got the eyewitness. that's the cornerstone of your case anyway. now, mrs. florrick, mr. gardner, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? no, your honor. -good. then we are in recess until tomorrow at 10, when i will decide on this case a second time. are we all happy? good. that's michael parsons. -the one that said, "kiss the floor." he was convicted of four armed robberies in south chicago over a two-year period. he pled and was sentenced to wabash valley for four years. so this is the killer? we believe so. -where is he now? well, that's the bad news. he's dead. he died in prison in 2006. so they got an eyewitness and we got nothing. -great, that's great. thank you for coming in, doctor. no problem. but i wish i could actually help you. well, maybe you can. -we just have a picture to show you. we discovered another man we think is responsible for the crime. his name is michael parsons, and was convicted of armed robberies identical to yours. he even used the same language from yours. he yelled for everyone to kiss the floor. -i'm sorry, if i could help you i would, but clarence wilcox did this. just keep an open mind, please, tara. this is the police sketch from the description you gave, right? and this is the mug shot of the man we think did it, michael parsons. -just please look at them carefully. i'm sorry, i really wish it was him. but it's not. you're sure? yes. -you're sure that clarence wilcox is who you saw? yes, i'm sure. i'm sorry, but clarence wilcox did this. this isn't clarence wilcox. excuse me? -we switched their faces. that's michael parsons. it's not. it is. this is clarence wilcox. -and you just said that this man didn't do it, and this man did. oh, my god. i am certain the man i saw killing a police officer was not clarence wilcox. in fact, your honor, can i say something to mr. wilcox? i'm sorry. -i don't know what else to say, but i am just so sorry. cuesta: here's the thing, mr. brody. i don't like to be reversed, in fact i hate it. so here's some advice for you and the good state's attorney. -you keep that from happening. your honor, i wanna insist... no, you don't have room to insist. and you should be grateful. i'm giving your boss an out as big as the great outdoors. -i don't understand, your honor. tell childs to blame his predecessor. it's not the job of the bench to offer you advice, mr. deputy chief. but i am just telling you very clearly, i want this to go away. the regrettable corruption during peter florrick's term still infects this department. -every step in the wilcox case was supervised and approved by peter florrick, and we are doing everything in our power to correct his mistakes. that is why i have decided to withdraw all charges against mr. clarence wilcox. there will be no discussion... are you okay with this? yes. -matan: i don't feel i can talk about... man: doesn't the state owe him a debt? matan: -thank you, no more questions. that is all, thank you. they say he's coming out this door. you know, words are hard. i know. -it's not like people say. i never expected him to get out. previously on the good wife: i understand the need to blame someone for your husband's downfall, but i didn't release that sex tape to hurt you or your family. you should know, i was holding back. -mr. childs, if you have something to show me, just do it. did you bury something? we all know what's going on here. peter florrick was a corrupt and convicted state's attorney. if evidence was buried, he buried it. -alicia, i know this has been hard on you, but you have to believe me, i'm innocent. everybody shut up, and don't move! what you staring at? get down! kiss the floor! -chicago p.d.! don't move! don't look at me! get down! come on. -talk about undue publicity. you say that didn't affect the jury pool? no. i'm telling you it doesn't matter. we don't have the time. -we have got... 55 minutes to get the brief to the county clerk. we're late, clarence wilcox stays on death row. we can't risk it. we can't not risk it. -undue publicity argument is the weakest part of the brief. it needs more work. which would be a problem if it was the only part of the brief. we've got five other solid arguments in there to appeal wilcox's conviction. let's ask will. -he'll agree with me. good, then it'll be settled. if it doesn't end up in the brief, will can't use it in oral argument? this... this is crazy. there's no time to write it. -it'll mean open heart surgery on the brief! this is odd. yeah, we can compete tomorrow. we think there's enough time to add another argument to the legal aid appeal, but we have to move quickly. quickly seems to be an understatement. -what time's the cutoff? 5:00 p.m. there was a cable tv movie broadcasted a week before jury selection. we believe it influenced the jury. why didn't legal aid pursue it? -we don't know. we found it 2 hours ago. can you do it in 48 minutes? just. you're the faster typist. -we need to get the cable viewership for cook county. i'm on it. undue publicity argument... we're never gonna shove all this in before the deadline. i got cable viewership from six years ago. -give me the numbers. it's not broken out by program. what? ! we're not going to make it. -damn. damn? don't say damn. this is gonna take an hour. go ask upstairs, ask him if he needs it. -give me a section. we're almost done with the tv movie argument, but we can't specify the saturation of the jury pool. you don't have the ratings broken out? okay. we'll slip it into a friend of the court brief. -just submit what you have now. legal aid couldn't handle the appeal. they gave it to us a week before oral arguments. interesting? clarence wilcox. -apparently killed an off-duty cop in a grocery store. he's been on death row for six years. legal aid thinks he got an unfair trial. you know what the appellate courts think of technicals. they'll kill it? -oh, yeah. give me a section. finished pages, hand them over now. you organize. don't give them to me. -hand them to him. okay. there's a typo there. no, no, no. shut up. -there. shut up. this is cary agos at stern, lockhart gardner. we have a death row appeal coming to you... now. if you don't mind, i stay on line to be sure you receive it. -damn! wifi's low! come on. come on. you're sure? -you don't see it? okay, good to know. thank you very much. people of the state of illinois v. clarence wilcox. mr. gardener, we've read your brief, and we're now prepared for oral arguments. -you may begin. thank you, chief justice. may it please the court. six years ago, clarence wilcox, a 24-year-old chicago man, was arrested for the murder of a plainclothes officer during the robbery of a grocery store in south chicago. -it's our contention that clarence wilcox did not receive a fair trial. he has spent the last six years on death row due to the fact... mr. gardener, please explain your undue publicity arguments. yes, your honor. it is our contention that clarence wilcox... -how is it different from the scott peterson appeal? it also involved a tv movie released prior to jury selection. yes, well, your honor, in that case, the tv movie didn't show the peterson character murdering his victim. in "cop killer", our client is seen shooting the victim. -thank you, mr. gardener. that was a nice last-minute hail mary with the tv movie. judges love novelty in arguments. think you can you get a preview on the decision? let's see what i can find out, but don't get your hopes up. -95% of automatic appeals are rejected out of hand. right. good job. excuse me, miss? sorry to bother you, but my name is patrice wilcox. -i'm clarence's wife. of course. i'm so sorry. i'm alicia florrick. do you know why clarence wasn't in court today? -why? well, during automatic appeal, the defendant's not usually seated. didn't someone tell you? so you're his new lawyers then? no. -legal aid didn't have the staff to argue the appeal, so we're on temporarily. because you never said anything about clarence being innocent. yes. unfortunately, that wasn't the point of this appeal. it was whether some mistake was made in the law. -isn't it a mistake in the law if he didn't do it? if he was with me that night? have you ever even met him? and you're arguing for his life. i want you to have this. -that's the last time he held his daughter. we lost the appeal. what? when? how do you know? -the chief justice's clerk. he sets up time for writing opinions. it was an easy no. i thought we had it. to be honest, i did, too. -so, what do we do now? go back to the office. well, about the case. the case? it's not ours. -it's legal aid's. crédits... team actual innocence? yes. -we lost the automatic appeal. now you want to appeal on actual innocence? i read the trial record. defense never put his wife on the stand. she was his only alibi, and the jury never heard from her. -because wives lie. i can't believe i'm having to tell you this. and she had priors. i read the trial record, too. juvenile priors. -then, those don't count. what am i missing here? when i worked at the state's attorney's office, we called these "appeals by hunch." this guy had his trial, an expensive trial. he killed a cop. -allegedly. no. 12 jurors, strong and true, found him guilty. that means not allegedly. that means he killed a cop. -you know, sometimes people with cute daughters and sweet little wives do bad things. sometimes very bad things. i'm not helping you on this one. suit yourself. cary wants to take a week on clarence wilcox. -see if there's any foundation for an evidentiary appeal. on actual innocence. we think it's a good idea for a week. it's good promotable work. and, not to sound too cynical, it burns off the hours we owe the pro bono consortium. -so you two up to doing this? you did a good job on the wilcox brief. bree sings your praises as a team. sure. why not? -what? it's a good cause. i'm just trying to fit this into the fuller cary picture. hey, there aren't that many generations left. you've taken the greatest generation, the lost generation, the pepsi generation, so what do we have left? -the surprise generation? so, surprise. no. look... the truth is, his wife came up to me yesterday with his daughter... really cute, you know... and gave me this. -what? it meant something to me. you think she has a car full of them? hey, it worked. we're on it. -i'm kind of liking her more now. mrs. florrick, thank you so much for doing this. thank you. would you've pursued it if i hadn't given you pictures? that's what i said. -do you hand these out like party favors? lawyers tend to forget he's a person. i love my husband. he's innocent, and i know he's innocent, and i would do anything for him. anything. -patrice, how are you doing? good. i just wanted to introduce you. josh baldwin. cary agos. -nice to meet you. alicia florrick. follow me. now, i thought we had a good defense. we could have won. -except? except it was me against about a half-dozen asas. this was the first case in that high-profile task force your husband set up. they only handled four or five cases a year, but they put all their resources into this. tammy, how do i work this thing? -! thanks. do you know who your husband put in charge of that task force? glenn childs. small world? -go to the deepest heart of appalachia, you won't find a town smaller than chicago. up there, top two boxes. why didn't you put patrice on the stand? she had priors. the jury would think she was lying to protect her husband. -you need to be calm for that. you know, i just think i'll live with the mystery. look, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. it all came down to the eyewitness. the med student? -everything else was circumstantial. the blood spatter. clarence was wearing a bulls sweatshirt two days after the murder. but that lady stood right up in court, pointed at clarence and said, "he did it." that's when i knew it was over. -that movie was awful, wasn't it? my dad taped it for me. first of all, i was in there buying cat food. and i was alone. and all of a sudden, i'm this blonde coed who falls in love with a married man. -was anything right in it? well, i did see him... wilcox, that was true. he ran through the door, he fired his gun, he yelled at me to kiss the floor, but i peered up, and i saw him kill that police officer. you have no doubts? -i've seen people die... i... a lot of people die, actually, on the operating table. i worked for a summer in south chicago. but i've only seen one person murdered. it's not something you forget. -do you think we're on a fool's errand? i think we all have a job to do. i save the lives of some people who i know, as soon as they get well, are going to go out and kill. but i still try to save them. it's your job to try to get him off. -it's the prosecutor's job to stop you. it's my job to tell the truth. i would say, "good luck," but i wouldn't mean it. take care. what do you think? -i think we're in trouble. what am i looking for? just watch. the police believe that man just killed someone, and you are the only eyewitness, so... that's the six-pack photo array the police present to you. -which one is it? that's him. yeah, maybe. hold on. you're confident? -i'm confident. you're wrong. the culprit isn't one of these. this is when we explain to the jury about cross-racial identification. studies still haven't adequately explained why, but it's harder for caucasians to identify subtle differences in african-american faces, and african-americans in caucasians. -how much do you charge to say that? my consultation rates are comparable. $20,000 for a routine appeal. well, we filed an evidentiary appeal, but we don't know if we have it yet. would you like to try it? -let me guess. a terrorist. you don't need a story, do you? which one is it? none of them. -you're confident? nope. number three. hide everything, quick! here comes the opposition. -s'up, muller. hey, shores. busy day, i see. hey, we're at a 65% clearance rate. we're doing our part to clean up after you. -yeah, looks that way. so, clarence wilcox. tell me about his lineup. that was six years ago. -well, lady comes in, describes the suspect. male, black, mid-20s, six feet tall, wearing a bulls sweatshirt. so... well, she seemed pretty certain, so we went over to howie, and he did a sketch. so, we found your guy. he matched the sketch. -he had blood spatter on his sweat top. he tried to wash the blood out, but, uh, he failed. so, we put him in a lineup. six guys, all black. all the same height, same build. -lady pointed right at him. and...? and... we went out for steaks afterwards. i don't know what you want to hear. what i want to hear is that you didn't put your thumb on the scale. -no hint, no nod, no nudge? no hint, no nod, no nudge. and what about a six-pack? did you show her the six-pack first? is it in the investigative report? -then, no. you've lost your sense of humor these days. hey, muller. what's up? i thought you weren't helping on this one. -the eyewitness described him as a six-foot black man, mid-20s, in a bulls sweatshirt. oh, my god. yeah. the only one in a bulls sweatshirt. they showed the eyewitness this six-pack before the lineup. -i get this to will. it's enough for an evidentiary appeal. probably, but if you're going to go all the way with this, you'll have to talk to your husband. my husband? -why? he knows where the bodies are buried. thanks for this. you okay? so, we got our retrial. -good job on getting that six-pack. oh, that was kalinda. now things get interesting. bree, i want you to pull together everything we have from the first trial. cary and alicia, i want you to reinterview all the witnesses. -six years go by, people have a very different memory of things. get kalinda to undercut this eyewitness. look into her background, whatever dirt you can dig up. you won't find anything. -we'll see. everybody's got something. today's a win. now, let's see about tomorrow. peter florrick. -report to interview room five. florrick, interview room five. kalinda? where's alicia? pat. -your wife doesn't want to visit you to get your take on this case. i don't deal in the same moral shades of black and white, so... hi. what case? clarence wilcox. she's defending a cop killer. -but he did it. you know he did it. what i know and what i don't have shifted a bit. this goes back to childs. he was top man on that case. -yeah. he's not happy about the retrial. this could hurt childs. it could. it's an interesting dynamic, isn't it? -if childs does poorly, voters remember me fondly. you know what i like about you? you're three months into a ten-year sentence, and you're plotting your political comeback. politics is just a game of chutes and ladders. right now, i'm at square one. -here's our problem. you see that? conversation between family members and convicts is subject to prison surveillance, except... under certain circumstances. conjugal circumstances. -now, you and i are adults. we can talk honestly and directly. i can help you with your case, but i can't help you. i've done other things in my life and if you want, i can tell you about them... but i didn't do this. did the officer who took your mug shot... -shores. right. detective shores. did he put you in that bulls sweatshirt? no. -did anybody else? no, i came in wearing it. didn't they want it for evidence? yeah, but they wanted to take my mug shot first. they made you keep it on for the mug shot? -yeah. did they say why? no, but when i tried to take it off, that guy, shores, he said, "no. keep it on." they wanted it in the picture. -and, here we are again, mrs. florrick. your honor? and who do we have over here? oh, asa becker and, my goodness, the deputy state's attorney, mr. brody. -how are you today? we're ready, your honor. it's strange that we have to be ready at all because i thought this case was previously adjudicated, but the appellate court has found reason to reverse my ruling. not by our hand, your honor. -that's right, so... who saw fit to question my ruling, mrs. florrick? your honor, we mean no disrespect. we believe your honor was given incorrect information by those trying the case. good, well, as long as there's no disrespect. i mean, i guess it's better to be considered a fool than a cheat, right? -well, shall we begin, mr. becker? your honor, we would like to introduce into the record the transcripts from the first trial. objection. overruled. -so moved. the prosecution rests, your honor. thank you, mr. brody. mr. gardener, are you ready to proceed? okay. -i must admit we're caught a bit off guard. yes, my guess is that was mr. brody's intention. it was, your honor. defense requests recess until tomorrow morning. no, no, no, no, you see, i know how this works, counselor. -you still need time to prep your witnesses. now, mr. brody has surprised you, and now the ball is in your court. actually, your honor, our witnesses are on their way to court right now. oh, good, well, then we just need a short recess. ten minutes. -i know i said tomorrow, sir, but this could be a matter of life and death... what time do you think you'll be back from baltimore? call me back with an eta. can you please have him call me back as soon as he gets this message? got one. -two hours away. we need to talk. oh, we're short a witness. remember what i said about visiting your husband? i know you like obsessing over the ethical niceties. -illinois court ruling 1.6 subsection "c." an attorney may use leaked information, just not... kalinda, there's no need. peter's got nothing on this case. he does. -how do you know? i saw him. you saw him? you saw peter? yeah. -you visited my husband in prison? i used to work for him. i told you that. how often did you visit my husband in prison? please don't go there. -why not? because it's not pertinent and it's not true. don't... ...visit my husband in prison. then you visit him. -you want to help clarence, go visit him. well? defense calls detective alec shores as a witness. objection, your honor. detective shores isn't on the defense's witness list. -that's right, he's on yours. well, is he in court anyway? maybe we can get something done today. i want you to do this. cary prepped for it. -you know it? then let's go. yeah, that's the sweatshirt he was wearing. so? and you don't think it's prejudicial to put only one suspect wearing a bulls sweatshirt in a photo lineup intended to find a suspect in a bulls sweatshirt? -i don't know. it's what he was wearing. and you found bloodstains on this sweatshirt? yeah, he tried to wash the blood out, but it left a stain. and where was the stain, detective? -where? here. the witness is pointing to the forearm of his right sleeve. and how did the suspect explain the stain? yeah, he said he, uh, he was in a pickup game the night before the murder, made contact, and he got a nosebleed. -and this blood matched the victim's? no, the police lab could not get a dna match. since he washed the shirt, it degraded the blood. so that would be a "no"? that would be a "no." -detective, i'm curious, if you got a nosebleed in a pickup game, what would you do? i don't understand the question. you're playing some two-on-two, you want to keep playing, your nose is bleeding. what do you do? what do you do? -you do... you know. let the record show that detective shores attempted to wipe his nose with the forearm of his right sleeve. excuse me, your honor, he did nothing of the kind. consistent with the stain on the accused's sweatshirt. objection. -detective shores, what were you preparing to do? your honor, i was preparing to raise my right hand to my face to wipe my nose. objection sustained. continue, mrs. florrick. detective, isn't it true that the only reason you arrested mr. wilcox is because he was wearing a bulls sweatshirt? -no, he matched the physical description. detective, do you own a chicago bulls sweatshirt? objection, your honor. what's the point here? i am trying to show that at the time of mr. wilcox's arrest, -bulls apparel was quite popular, so therefore it wouldn't be unusual to find a multitude of suspects wearing bulls sweatshirts. overruled. answer the question. no, i do not own one of those. you're under oath, detective shores. -i understand that, your honor. i'm not a fan. well, i am. i have a bulls sweatshirt identical to that one. your honor, objection. -i'm sorry, you're objecting to me? no. i'm just... objecting to the... general tenor of... lenny, do you have one of these bulls sweats? -judy, how about you? anyone else? your honor, given this testimony, we request that detective shores' work product be excluded from the record. nice try, mr. gardener, but there's nothing here that rises to the level of "fruit of the forbidden tree," so you'll have to do better than that. but you and mrs. florrick do get an "e" for effort. -any further questions? no, your honor. we got some traction on clarence wilcox? looks like it. and what happened with cary? -what do you mean? you have him running something down with kalinda? right, his choice. when you bumped him from second chair. -am i being grounded? we had an agreement. six months and we see what cream rises to the top. and we are... seeing. -not if you're promoting one over the other. look, diane, i want to be very specific here, very clear. alicia is a secret weapon. -she freaks him out. cary? no, matan. she's a junior associate, and the state's attorney's office can't think straight around her. just dangle alicia in front of them, and they lose control of their case and their bowels. -okay, and what about her? her? alicia? what do you mean? she's still florrick's wife. -she has an agenda, whether you believe it or not. and what would that be? embarrassing the man who derailed her husband's career. there is no audio or visual recording, there is no monitoring, and there is no outside intervention. there is a panic button located just inside the front door should you require our assistance. -for security reasons, you will not be permitted to leave the premises until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow unless said panic button is activated. turn around and raise your arms. you're sure? here's the thing, miss. you phoned the cops about an armed robbery a week ago. -we thought it might be the same suspect because you're near. the suspect was he possibly wearing a bulls sweatshirt? okay, thank you. well, this is kind of cool. kind of out here investigating. -you're chipper, aren't you? dangerously chipper. okay, so here's the plan. we look for armed robberies after clarence wilcox was arrested and see if any of them match this sketch. that way we get another suspect in court. -we'll split the interviews. how long you been working at stern, lockhart? no. what? ask them about the m.o., the bulls sweatshirt, anything that's remotely similar to clarence. -what did i do? uninterested. you're uninterested in talking? how much we have in common? i don't like talking to people i have a lot in common with. -okay, i have a proposition for you. find this person, i'll tell you whatever you want to know. whatever i want to know? and more. okay, you just saved clarence wilcox's life. -there's one for you, too. hello! hello! is this weird or what? weird. -and in such pretty accommodations. i told them to put in that painting. listen, i have to ask you a favor. no, it's nothing. i know we have a lot of work to do, but... -i haven't taken a shower alone in months. of course. sorry, go. thanks. the weak link in this case is shores. -if i can discredit his testimony, the case falls apart. 47th street homicide. what's that? double-homicide. accused was shot in the back. -shores was accused of planting a gun. was it proven? didn't have to be. at a suppression hearing, the judge ruled the gun inadmissable. i had to dp the case. -decline to prosecute. what? was he this man? was the robber this man? it could be. -i'm not good with faces. it went so fast. who are you again? a lawyer. you're a lawyer? -what are you doing here? i don't know. was this man, this robber, was he wearing a bulls sweatshirt? bulls sweatshirt? really, i couldn't say. -he burst through the door, and the first thing he said was "kiss the floor, don't look up," so i didn't. he said what? he said, "kiss the floor, don't look up." he said those exact words? he had a gun on me. i think i would remember what he said. -sounded like good advice at the time so i kissed the floor. okay, thank you very much. so, this guy robbed him, told him to kiss the floor in may 2003? yeah. -a month after clarence was convicted. and here's the thing: the cops told him they caught this robber a month later, maybe two. so, it couldn't be clarence because he was in jail. and this guy, he was a really nice guy, by the way, he was supposed to go to court to testify, but they told him they didn't need him because the robber copped a plea. okay, armed robbery, no injuries, money taken. -he probably got four years. let's not lose track here. what about my reward? mike, can you look up armed robbery plea bargains in the summer of 2003? what reward? -no, you know what reward. let me just think of some really embarrassing question. no, i'm looking for an armed robber. i bet this is the first time this has happened in here. you okay? -i'm great. are you joking? no, i'm serious. this is the closest five minutes of normalcy i've had in eight months. it's like we're in camp. -want me to tell you a story? good night. your honor, please. this is too much. detective shores was never found guilty of planting a gun. -the judge suppressed the evidence and the attorney declined to prosecute. is that what peter was saying? excuse me, sir! you can talk to me. you leave my junior associate out of this. -come on, let's face facts here. i think that's what we're trying to do, mr. brody. detective shores is an honored homicide detective. i have worked with him for a decade now and he has been nothing but professional and... -a perjurer? excuse me, your honor? i don't like someone staring me right in the eye and lying to me, and there's not a cop i know who isn't a bulls fan. your honor, that is irrelevant. i'll decide what's irrelevant. -if you want to file a complaint, that's why judy is here. now, mr. gardner, i'm finding now reason to reverse myself. i think you've made a very strong "fruit of the forbidden tree" argument. if i can't trust shores, then i can't trust the evidence that's tied to him. so, the line-up, the bulls sweatshirt, the artist's sketch, they are now stricken from the record. -shut up, matan. you've still got the eyewitness. that's the cornerstone of your case anyway. now, mrs. florrick, mr. gardner. do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? -no, your honor. good. then we are in recess until tomorrow at 10:00 when i will decide on this case a second time. are we all happy? good. -that's michael parsons. the one that said "kiss the floor." he was convicted of four armed robberies in south chicago over a two year period. he pled and was sentenced -to wabash valley for four years. so, this is the killer? we believe so. where is he now? well, that's the bad news. -he's dead. he died in prison in 2006. so, they got an eyewitness and we got nothing. great. that's great. -thank you for coming in, doctor. no problem, but i wish i could actually help you. maybe you can. we have a picture to show you, we found another man we think is the killer. his name is michael parsons, and he was convicted of armed robberies too. -he even used the same language from yours. he yelled for everyone "to kiss the floor." i'm sorry. if i could help you, i would. but clarence wilcox did this. -just keep an open mind, please, tara. this is the police sketch from the description you gave, right? and this is the mugshot of the man we think did it. michael parsons. just please look at them carefully. -i'm sorry. i really wish it was him. but it's not. you're sure? yes. -you're sure that clarence wilcox is who you saw? i'm sure. i'm sorry, but clarence wilcox did this. this isn't clarence wilcox. excuse me? -we switched their faces. that's michael parsons. it's not. it is. this is clarence wilcox. -and you just said that this man didn't do it. and this man did. my god. i am certain. the man i saw killing a police officer was not -clarence wilcox. in fact, um, your honor, can i say something to mr. wilcox? i'm sorry. i don't know what else to say. but i am just so sorry. -here's the thing, mr. brody. i don't like to be reversed. in fact, i hate it. here's some advice for you and the good attorney. you keep that from happening. -your honor, i want to insist... no, you don't have room to insist. and you should be grateful. i'm giving your boss an out as big as the great outdoors. i don't understand, your honor. -tell charles to blame his predecessor. it's not the job of the bench to offer you advice, mr. deputy chief. but i am just telling you very clearly, i want this to go away. the regrettable corruption during peter florrick's term still infects this department. -every step in the wilcox case was supervised and approved by peter florrick and we are doing everything in our power to correct his mistakes. that is why i have decided to withdraw all charges against mr. clarence wilcox. there have been no discussions about restitution. you okay with this? yes. -thank you. no more questions. that is all. thank you. they say he's coming out this door. -you know... words are hard. i know. it's not like people say. i never expected him to get out. -george: oh, yeah, young trevor here owes me 1,500 bucks, yeah? i'm not looking for it tomorrow, but i'm not forgetting it either. well, i'm mick hurley's girlfriend. have you seen freeman? -i trust him to look after my girl. he goes and fucks her! what's this young girl to you, jo? she's my fucking step-daughter! i'm gonna kill that fucking bastard! -you're gonna have to pay me or kill me, trevor. (silenced gunshot) fuck off! (screams) hiding anything in there, are we? (whimpers) -jack: look, kay, if you talk to us now, we won't come after you. i didn't say anything. terry: take him away from me, i'll kill you. -until you can feel somebody else's pain, you can't love anybody. allison: terry knows no-one said anything? yep, but you and i'll have to go over there, sort out a few things face to face. song: # it's a jungle out there -# it's a jungle out there # it's a jungle out there. # (breathes raggedly) (knock at door) bob: -you alright in there, love? yeah. just powdering my nose. jacqul: there are moments when the world is a very small place. -moments of tension, doubt, uncertainty. but our angels are always closer than we think. she won't be long. how's she been? (breathing settles) -(sobs) something's gotta be done, terry. supply is erratic and then your mate marty, mr bloody asia, the junk that he's sending us is about as potent as kiddies' wee. i'll talk to him. my consortium are thinking it's time we dealt with the supplier direct. -cut out the middle man. got marty's number, have you, bob? or you know someone else with a direct line to the growers in the golden triangle? (snorts) i'll talk to him. -he's in thailand now, sourcing a big load. some of it's coming here, but i'll make sure you get the cream. ok? (door shuts) everything sorted? -you tell me. well, with the changes in the narcotics bureau, bob and i are wondering if we should get brian alexander to liaise directly with the nsw police from now on. (door shuts) (woman speaks) -kensington gardens is so lovely. and these are so house of york i couldn't resist them. hi, i'm karen. hey. bob jones. -nice to meet you, karen. nice to meet you, bob. and we've met, haven't we? allison. terry: -they're over from australia. on business. karen: right. i'd better get these into water. -i'll do it. i'll do it. didn't you wanna go shopping? did i? i think so. -did i? nice to meet you, bob. allison. pay the cops direct. they're all bent as bananas. -well, we need more couriers. well, if they're on to using single girls, use couples. though aussie retail's not really my territory anymore, is it? we're all in this together, tel. indeed we are. -aren't we, allison? (sniffs) ally. i heard the narcs went really hard on you and kay. i didn't tell them anything. oh, i know you didn't. -i know you didn't. but kay. she didn't say... she told them she knew me! there's no call to shout, mate. -brian alexander saw the record of the interview. black and white - "yes, i know terry clark." just knowing you is nothing. i know how these pricks work, mate. they'll reinterview her. -they'll chip away at her. next time it'll be, "yes, i worked for him." then they apply more pressure, the floodgates open and she drowns me, you, all of us in shit! allison: she won't. -kay's not like that. is she still at the house? she moved out. where to? she's gone travelling. -where to? i don't know her address. you're her best friend and you don't have her address. ally, i don't want to hurt her. i'm worried about her. -i can put her somewhere safe where the narcs can't hassle her. oh, god. (kisses) i'm sorry. it's terrible, you girls being treated like that. i wanna look after kay. -i wanna look after you. are you sure you don't know where i can find her? i need to go toilet. (hyperventilates) (pants) -bob: it must be the time of the month. so, you think we need to little kay? yes. but she's not our biggest threat. -who beside you and me knows most about the organisation? marty. (scoffs) marty doesn't know shit. allison? she's this close to cracking on us, mate. -i can feel it. she's taken more risks for us than you've had hot roots. you said yourself, she couldn't get out of bed, couldn't leave the house, couldn't make decisions. well, she's been through a rough patch, but she's pulling together. next time the narcs get a hold of her, she won't pull together. -well, i'm not organising this one. you have to, mate. (men speak in the other room) (picks up phone) (phone rings) -hello? kay, it's me. jeez, ally, have you forgotten about the time difference? kay, listen to me. you have got to get out of there. -why? are the narcs after me? not the narcs. terry. i've got a daughter her age! -and let me tell you - however many you organise, it never gets natural. you owe me this. bulls poop i do! i have a son in new zealand and i can never go back there! or australia! -because you fucked up the wilsons, bob. you promised me they would never be found and three weeks later - three weeks later! they are dug up in a grave so shallow i'm surprised you didn't smell them in sydney. (sighs) -all i'm asking you to do is keep looking out for us. sorry about that. so, where were we? kay. yeah. -right, if i get her address, i'll pass it on to you. so is there more we need to discuss? don't think so. bob? i'm glad you two came over. -it's important to be on the same page. absolutely. do you wanna go sightseeing? shopping? i don't know. -bob: i'll ring the airport and see if i can get us an earlier flight out of this shithole. it's goodbye, then. see you, dad. yep. -see you, son. goodbye to you too, allison. (projector whirrs) terry? have they gone? -i bought enough veal if you wanna invite them to dinner. you know earlier when you made it clear that you didn't want me around? i took the hint because i didn't wanna embarrass you in front of those people. but if you think you can treat me like i'm not here, like another stupid little kiwi slut... it's his birthday. -(sobs) (sobs) i love you. fuck me! george freeman's been shot in the head! -in his own driveway. oh, no-one's safe in this world anymore. delighted to see you're recovering so well, mr freeman. um... look, i didn't mean any of the things i said, um, i'm really grateful that you looked after nat so well. -um, and these are a token of my esteem. very generous, michael. now fuck off. three jacks. (phone rings) -don't worry about the phone. just be some other dickhead ringing up to give me his alibi. barry: more visitors, mr freeman. was that mick hurley i saw whizzing past like a cat on fire? -g'day, lenny. dennis. how's the patient? george: alive. -no thanks to you pricks. rustle up some glasses, will you, trev? give us all the gory details. bullet went in here, through my mouth, out through my eye. half-inch higher, it would've blown a hole in my brain. -you're a lucky bugger. quack's orders. no, it's purely medicinal, i promise. and i promise you, mate, we're gonna get the motherfucker who did this. looked in your own squad rooms? -wasn't state coppers, george. none of my blokes. you got my word. your good health, then. and yours. -good health. so, did you get a look at the shooter, mr freeman? too dark, and he was wearing a balaclava. you got any enemies? none that are prepared to say it to my face, son. -well, your visitor just now, his name's been mentioned. it's not michael hurley. no man likes another man slipping his lady a lance, mate. oh, fuck me. a note from the queen? -compliments of commissioner merv wood. best wishes for a speedy recovery. that's nice of the man. he sent something else too. commissioner wants to know if anyone here's been a bad boy. -anybody got a truncheon tucked away? i got nothing to hide, love. song: # barbarella, i got news for you... # (laughs) oh! # i know all about the things you do... # -freeman: watch the wound, love. someone shoot me in the head. bob: i'll come down soon. -kisses for all.

(chuckles) doesn't time fly. yeah, yeah, i do need another one. -yes, i do know what i'm doing. look, you just make sure whoever you find knows what he's fucking doing, will you? (sighs) honey, i've got fistfuls of cash and bags full of coke, if we both went back to my place... hey, aussie bob! -let me buy you a drink, mate. what's wrong? bob. this is the bloke i was telling you about. chris flannery, aussie bob. -frankie tells me you're a shooter. yeah, i'm only the best fucking shooter to come out of victoria since ned kelly. how many you done? what's the job? you get her from home, you do the deed. -and make sure she's never and i mean never, as in not ever, found. 20 grand. 5 grand deposit. i want it done nice and clean. of course. i don't want her to know what's coming. -i don't want her to suffer. fuck, mate, you want the job done or not? it's just she's a special case. me mum says everyone's special, bob. (bright asian pop music) -jacqul: there are moments when our survival instinct takes over our senses. some of us go into lockdown, trying to make ourselves as small a target as possible. while others try to clean up the mess they've made and only make it worse. and we never know which strategy is right for which moment. -(doorbell rings) oh, good morning, miss. how are you? i've got your aspid... itra here. she's a beauty, isn't she? -i didn't order a fern. oh, this is 67 winslow, isn't it? no. oh. you couldn't show me the right way, could you? -i've been up and down this street so many times. i can't see anything. it's all these trees, you know? it's, um, second or third left as you go towards the harbour. the harbour. -oh, is the harbour... which way is that? it's just down there. oh, yeah. i can see the water now. -(ominous music) allison! thanks for your help, miss. jack: you're an early riser. -who's this? your gardener? in you go, boys.

(shuts door) hello? -bob? bob? (door shuts) bob: g'day, love. -i've got something for you. time to ship out, i reckon. shape up and ship out. though in my case there'd be no 'shape up'. or 'ship out'. -i can go? go away? but wh-what about the business? i'll sort something. (sobs) -no... no. no need for waterworks. terry sent a man to the house. to kill me! oh, now, now, now. -y-you're just het up. he had some silly story about delivering a fern. he was reaching for a gun! oh... but... no, probably just a pair of secateurs. -look, you're a good person, ally. you go get yourself a new life. forget about the whole bung lot, terry and me included. (laughs) no way, bob. -what do you mean, "no way"? i want my deposit back. deposit is non-refundable. listen, you greedy little piece of... no, you listen, bob! -you employed my professional services, right? ! you fucking hassle me again and i will shove this ladle so far up your tubby arse you're gonna have to pull it out your throat. now, why'd you cancel, bob? because you're such a professional, you deserve five grand for doing sweet fuck-all. -(ladle clangs) terry: karen? i'm in here. what's that smell? -it's beef burgundy. hey, get dressed.

(chuckles) -(sighs) you did say it would have to be an issue before the prime minister would act. so you leaked the wilson tapes to the press? (clears throat) jesus, joe. we need to maintain the highest ethical standards. -well, like i said, dave, you can be too honest. liz: excuse me. we've got the prosecution brief on joyce allez. according to her record of interview, she was driven to the airport for her flight to singapore by two other women - -kay reynolds and allison dine. dine was also arrested for possession the other day. guess who her choice of solicitor was. brian alexander. the address she gave is a flash pad in lane cove. -we've already done a full title search. who owns it? terry clark. (liz chuckles) (joe bangs table) yes! phew! -eh? ! (laughs) she's heading for international departures. warwick's following. -we have to stop her. we lose her, we lose any direct link with clark. if we pull her in, we let everyone in the organisation know we're onto them, including clark. jesus, dave! you ever arrest anybody? -if she's going to a country we've got extradition arrangements with, it's worth the risk. american airlines to i.a. she's travelling under the name mary jackson. jacqul: they let allison leave the country even though she was breaking bail. -for one thing, dave priest said his mates in the fbi would keep track of her if he asked them nicely. and as far as they knew, allison was just another of clark's female couriers. just one of a whole bunch of underlings. -no-one special. jo: hey, baby. come to papa. oh, look at the tight muff on that one, eh? -i like a tight muff. bob: a connoisseur of fine wines too, no doubt, johannes. yeah. word is that nervy son-in-law of yours...

(gunshot) i should've done it, lennie. yeah, that would've been smart. -i'd have been careful. i can handle myself. so, i do you a favour and all the thanks i get is you measuring your dick. all i'm saying is i am capable of cleaning up me own shit. three aces. -full house. queen high.

(stabs) please shut up, marty. (sobs) i thought you liked my stew. i don't like beets. -that's why i put all yours in your father's bowl. now go wash your hands. jennsen, you have to run. the d'harans are here. they're raiding peoples' homes looking for you and the boxes of orden. -how did...? hurry, they're on their way. take this. it's an alkalis stone. crack it between your teeth to release the poison. -it'll be over in ten heartbeats. you want me to kill myself? it's a better fate than what the d'harans will do to you if they catch you. now run. quick. -out the back. now, go. open the door! is she going to be all right? where is she? -please, leave my family alone. we haven't done anything. find her. mm. commander! -tracks, sir. she couldn't have gotten far. this way! where are the boxes? i don't have any boxes. -legend of the seeker s01e21 "fever" "like wind over a field of grass, "all blades bend to orden. "for the one who wields the magic bends the will of all to the will of one." didn't mean to frighten you, my boy. -you've been at it all night. perhaps you should get some sleep. according to this, the only way to defeat rahl is to put all three boxes of orden together at the next full moon. but the last time i put the boxes together, the power turned me into a monster. if jennsen hadn't separated the boxes, -i'd probably have razed every village in d'hara by now. the power of orden possessed you. now you must learn to possess the power of orden. how? keep reading. -"orden is a voracious wolf, "its strength rivaled only by its insatiable appetite. only one power can touch the beast's heart and tame it." what kind of magic could tame the power of orden? somehow make it safe to use? -i've never heard of a magic stronger than the power of orden. you once said, of all the magic in the world, there is none more powerful than love. that's an old expression. as old as the book of counted shadows? what are you thinking? -that the one force that can touch the beast's heart and tame it, is love. the touch of love. confession. i have to be confessed. of course. -a confessor's touch could temper the power of orden so you wouldn't turn into a tyrant. and likewise, orden would temper the power of love, so you wouldn't become a mindless slave. you would be left with the ability to command darken rahl. we'd better tell kahlan. no, zedd, wait, wait. -for as long as i've known her, the one thing she's been most afraid of is hurting me. we only have one of the boxes. until we get the other two from jennsen, there's no point in telling kahlan. let her sleep. here we are. -for my sister. hello? hm. hello? jennsen? -sean! it's me, richard. what? what are you doing? no, kahlan, don't! -he's a friend. at least he used to be. i'm sorry. i never thought i could hurt the seeker. sean, tell us what's going on. -darken rahl found out we were hiding jennsen. to punish us, he unleashed a magical plague on our village. marilee died yesterday. and now my little girl is sick. rahl will only give us the cure in exchange for the seeker's head. -where's jennsen? the d'harans came. she escaped into the woods with the boxes just before they kicked in my door. we have to find her. there's something else you should know. -i gave her an alkalis stone in case she was captured. i don't know if she's dead or alive, but we're in terrible trouble. people are suffering like i have never seen. the healthy banished all of the sick here. they're afraid. -every day, more are herded into the encampment. what is this scourge? we don't know. people have started calling it the fire fever, because it spreads like wildfire. careful not to touch anyone. -if you do, the fire will leap from their blood into yours. the hot blood creates these welts. once the welts appear, the person doesn't have much time. you have no idea what it is like to see your child suffer and not be able to comfort her even with a simple touch. is there anything you can do for her? -yes, there is. and a few others, but it will require me to draw the illness out of their bodies and take it into my own. i'll need time to rest and purge the illness from my own blood every time i heal someone. if i take on too much, or don't have enough time to heal myself, i'll fall to the plague the same as everyone else. -but i'll do what i can. we have to find jennsen and get the boxes. if i can put them all together, i can force rahl to give us the cure. richard, we don't even know if jennsen's still alive. -it's a wonder she's not dead. the worst is over. alert me the moment she wakes. this girl stole the boxes from my palace and is the only one who knows where they are. so unless she tells me where she's hidden them, then no, the worst is not yet over for her. -my lord, she's awake. but there's a problem. she doesn't seem to remember anything. how convenient. my lord, if i may. -i believe she's telling the truth. your men were overzealous with her. they beat her viciously. i've seen people who have suffered blows like this to the head, and often their senses are dulled. it's not surprising she's lost her memories. -who are you? you don't remember me? no. i don't even know where i am or how i got here. it's all right. -you're safe now. i'm a friend and this is my home. should i know you? i'm sorry. no, please don't apologize. -it's not your fault. and i promise i will tell you everything. but perhaps it's a blessing that you don't remember the terrible things your brother did to you. my brother? people call him the seeker. -if you had managed to chop my head off, where would you have taken it? there's a d'haran garrison only a day's journey away. if i confess whoever's in charge of this garrison, we might find out what happened to jennsen and the boxes. we might even be able to get the cure. what do you mean? -if rahl created this plague, then maybe he has a way to protect his own men from it. i'll stay here and do what i can to help while you two go to the garrison. how are we gonna get close enough to the commander to confess him? they want the seeker's head? let's give it to them. -i have the head of the seeker! i will give it only to the commander. tell him to bring the cure for the fever to sorcerer's bluff, alone, and i will exchange the head for the cure. my son is next. and then, their loved ones. -i'm sorry, but i need to rest now. i can only cure a few at a time or the sickness will overtake me, and... and i won't be able to cure anyone. once you've rested, you'll heal my son. the village baker is next. -you'll heal the baker over my dying child? the baker will bake the bread necessary to feed everyone and give them strength. i'm sorry, but these are the difficult decisions i must make. and who are you to decide who lives and who dies? the almighty creator? -i am zeddicus zu'l zorander, wizard of the first order. and you will wait your turn. and then your brother put all three boxes together. and he used the power to make the mother confessor beat a poor, defenseless, unarmed woman. -kill her. slowly. do you remember any of this? a little. do we have to keep talking about this? -it's all so ugly. i can understand, you need to rest. i promise we won't go on much longer, but you need to know the truth. there were few survivors. my men who did come back told me the seeker forced them to collect their weapons and fight each other... -to the death. it must have been so horrible... all that death. and all of them fathers, sons, brothers. but you... you are pristinely ungifted. magic doesn't affect you. -you were the one person the seeker could not control. and you saw your brother for the monster that he is, and you bravely pulled the boxes apart. don't touch the boxes. magic doesn't work on me. not even the magic of orden. -no! and once you pulled them apart, you ran away with two. but you must have hidden them somewhere. but then the seeker came after you and, unfortunately, he found you before i did. where are the boxes? -i don't have any boxes. it wasn't the seeker who hit me. he has many followers. he must've sent men after you. i can't believe my own brother would do that. -do you remember where you hid the boxes? please, stop. i don't wanna think about it anymore. there, there. shh. -it's all right. you're safe now. shh. i promise the seeker will never hurt you again. shh. -kahlan, no! what's wrong? his neck. he has the fire fever. if you touch him, you'll die. -one of my men found him abandoned. i thought he could use a friend. oh, he's adorable. thank you. oh. -baby, it's okay. i wondered if any of your memories have returned. they're all so horrible. maybe it's better not to remember. hey. -i understand. what are they doing with that d'haran scum? hey, what's going on here? stay back. i suggest you show the mother confessor some courtesy. -are you all right, zedd? a bit of rest would do me well. what have we here? it seems rahl neglected to protect his own men when he sent them to spread the sickness. the commander here has the fire fever. -if we deliver the seeker's head to lord rahl, we can all be cured. can you heal him so kahlan can confess him? he's the one who infected us! how dare you heal that butcher before my son. this man might have important information. -we need him to tell us what happened to jennsen, the seeker's sister. what makes her more important than any of us? if we find her, we might be able to get the cure from rahl. but we've been waiting. you said my boy was next. -i'm sorry, but circumstances have changed. you'll have to wait a while longer. are you all right? richard cypher and his confessor ambushed one of my garrisons... and i just had to tell another mother that her son has died at the hands of the seeker. i'm sorry. -i can't believe my own brother could be so cruel. i know exactly how you feel. he's my brother too. i didn't know how to tell you this, jennsen, but you, richard and i share the same father. his name was panis rahl. -there was a time when peace and freedom prospered in d'hara. but our father conquered one kingdom after the other, swallowing them all up for himself. he was a cruel and bloodthirsty tyrant. he did unspeakable things to the people, and even his own family. i've never told this to anyone before. -our father once boasted to me, when i was barely as tall as his sword, that he'd been given a prophecy. one day he would sire a bastard son who would rise to be the seeker and that seeker would kill me. and even after he'd learned of this prophecy, he still continued to take countless women. my mother? from what i know of your mother, she was good, and she was kind. -she kept you safe from our father. i was not so lucky. when i was older and stronger, i stood up to our father, and i killed him. then i reached out to richard, hoping that a brotherly love could avert the prophecy. -but only then did i realize that he had inherited our father's cruelty. but like so many villains, he believes he's a hero. but if he gets hold of those boxes, he will do terrible things to this world. far worse than our father was ever capable of. we have to stop him. -how? if i could remember where i hid the boxes, you could get to them first. safe to confess him now. command me, confessor. you were ordered to capture a young girl. -jennsen. where is she? i don't know. we captured her, but rahl's general took her away. why? -one of my men beat her because she wouldn't tell us where the boxes were. i believe general egremont thought rahl could get the information out of her. stay here and help zedd. you're taking me to where my sister was captured. now, you must have hidden the boxes somewhere safe. -but you had to flee. someone must've told you the seeker was coming after you. jennsen, you have to run. the farmer who was hiding me told me to run. yes, you had to run. -but you wouldn't have left the boxes behind. no. i took them with me. you must have been so afraid, knowing what they would do to you if they caught you. it's a better fate than if they catch you. -the farmer gave me an alkalis stone. i tried to swallow the stone... but someone knocked me to the ground, and i lost it. this is the exact spot where she was captured? it must have been one of the seeker's men. but try to remember what happened to you you were knocked down. -what did you do with the boxes? she came through here. but she didn't have the boxes when she was caught, so she must have hidden them somewhere between here and the cottage. where are they, jennsen? what did you do with them? -they were going to catch me. yes, they were going to catch you. you didn't have much time. you had to hurry, jennsen. but you had to get rid of the boxes. -where did you hide them? i threw them in the lake. alert the nearest garrison. send a quad to the lake now. my lord. -you threw them in the lake, didn't you? keep this safe. please, wizard, don't leave us. stay back. i need rest. -please, stay back. back. back, please. get away from him. no, no. -save my baby! help us. help me. how could you let this happen? you're hurting him! -you let my son die, wizard! no! stop! get back. get away. -mistress, i've made you ill. push the crowd back. get away from her. get back! we should all be ashamed. -look at what we've done to the confessor. lord rahl, the quad has failed. the seeker has the boxes. lord rahl, the seeker has the book of counted shadows and all three boxes of orden. he'll be coming for you. -you must leave this place. and where shall we go, egremont? where could we possibly run to that the seeker could not find us? he now has the power to turn my own armies against me. and he's coming for me. -ah, there's only one thing left that i can do. i'm sorry, jennsen, something terrible has happened. richard succeeded in getting the boxes before i could. we have to run. a plague has broken out in the countryside. -i can't run. i can't abandon my people. they're dying. somehow i have to help them. how? -my sorcerers have a cure. but now that richard has all the boxes, i can't go near him. no one can except you. dear sister, you are the one person who can bring the cure to these people. -you're the only one who won't be affected by magical plague or the power of orden. but you said the seeker has been hunting me for months. his men almost killed me. how could i go back to him now? maybe if you went to him and you told him what he wants to hear. -that he's a great hero and he was right about me. you tell him that i captured you and i tortured you, but you would not tell me where the boxes were. tell him that you stole the cure from me, and you finally escaped and then you ran back to him. but i took the boxes from him. from everything you've told me, it doesn't sound like he'd forgive me for that. -jennsen, i know our brother. as long as you pretend to be on his side and not mine, he won't hurt you. all you need to remember is that he simply wants to be loved. tell him whatever lies about me you have to. you tell him that i know he has the boxes and i am coming for them. -and i'll place a magical tracer cloud on them to make it more convincing. then, when you have his trust and he turns his back on you, you bring the boxes back to me. well, i bet i know what you're thinking. what if i'm not telling the truth? you've lost your memories. -how would you know if i was lying or not? how can you be sure of anything? what if this were just some sort of ploy? jennsen, if i were the cruel tyrant that richard paints me as, why would i want to save people? i don't know. -i would give anything not to have to ask this of you, but my people are dying. so if you take my fastest horse and ride through the night, you can make it to where the people are suffering. and when you give the cure to the ailing and you see that it works, you will know which brother truly cares for the people. and you will know which brother to side with. i have the boxes. -my mistress is dying. she confessed a sick man to save me. how long until you recover? i was already weakened before the mob overcame me. the fire fever has me now, richard. -i'm not going to recover. zedd, i'm not going to let either of you die. i'm going to force rahl to give me the cure. how? i'm going to put the boxes of orden together. -kahlan is too weak to confess you. you've seen what the boxes can do to you. you have to find another confessor, go on without us. no. you two will have to go on without me. -i'm going to find rahl. then i'll swallow the alkalis stone just before i put the boxes together. and with the power of orden, i'll command rahl to send the cure back to the valley, and then i'll kill him. and before i can turn into a tyrant, the alkalis stone will kill me. richard, th... -there must be another way. it's the only way. he'll be dead and i'll be dead, and everyone else will live. dear boy,... the prophecy says the seeker will defeat rahl. -it doesn't say he will live to be a wise old man like his grandfather. thank you so much. you're welcome. jennsen. i can't believe it's you. -where have you been? are you all right? i was captured by rahl. he tortured me, but i wouldn't tell him where i hid the boxes. you were right about him. -he's a monster. before i escaped, i stole the cure for the plague. we don't have much time, richard. rahl knows you have all the boxes. -look. the tracer cloud is leading his men here right now. if i hold the boxes, the cloud can't track them. zedd and kahlan are sick. i have to give them the cure. -their welts are disappearing. it's working. jennsen? jennsen! jennsen! -jennsen. jennsen. no! help! he has me! -i'm over here! hey, hey. shh. jennsen. what are you doing? -stop. stop. stop. i'm gonna take my hand away, but you can't scream, okay? please, don't hurt me. -hurt you? i'd never hurt you. why would you say that? where were you going with the boxes? i'm taking them back to lord rahl, where they belong. -if you take them back to rahl, we're all dead. he told me you'd say that. whatever he told you, it's a lie. did you put the boxes of orden together and force people to kill each other? let me go. -what's happened to you? lord rahl took care of me after your men almost killed me. my men? they beat me so badly, i couldn't even remember my own name. -jennsen, don't you see? rahl's filled your head with lies. i'm not the villain. he said you'd say that too. jennsen, look at my eyes. -do you remember how we first met? i rescued you and our mother. do you remember that? no! defend the box. -our mother was captured by a mord-sith sent by darken rahl. stop! we tried to save her, together. yes, jennsen, i did use the power of orden. -richard, no! but everything i did... kill them all! ...i did to save our mother. stop! -if that is your wish, my lord. take us to our mother. yes, my lord. if darken rahl gets this box, we'd all be his slaves. i don't even know you. -why should i listen to you? because he's the seeker. i am your grandfather. that woman denna is torturing is your mother too. it wasn't you. -it was the power of orden. what'd i do? i know this isn't you. the way of the seeker is not vengeance. we'll come see you again. -and be together, as a family. when you smile, right around the eyes you look just like our mother. i remember everything. richard. my lord, you've received another report. -the pristinely ungifted one has sided with the seeker once more. he has the boxes. pull back my armies before he has a chance to turn them against me. and, egremont, have mistress cara gather her sisters of the agiel. my lord, perhaps you could negotiate a truce with the seeker. -it's far too late for that. jennsen. we missed you. where were you? what? -i took a bolt in that shoulder. oh, i can heal a little pinprick like that in no time. pinprick? did i mention i had to rip the bolt out of my own shoulder? what do you want me to do? -conjure you some sort of award? kahlan still needs a little time to regain her strength, but she's asking for you. i thought i was going to lose you. did you get the boxes? yes. -then it's almost over. there is one more thing. what is it, richard? you have to confess me. we're trying to live in the city causing no environmental impact... -we're just cutting down too many trees. we need the trees to save the planet. and the polar bears. i'm trying to live a life in line with my values. oh, fuck. -people are intent on replacing the american way... with wind power and tree-bark burgers. like this one new york family, the beavans... who are five months into a yearlong quest to live without impacting the environment. the rules? no toilet paper, no incandescent bulbs or disposable razors... or magazines or newspapers, television... planes, trains, automobiles, elevators, plastic bags... or shopping for anything new. they're poisoning our capitalist society. -and here now to defend himself is the patriarch of these eco-mansons, colin beavan. mr. beavan, thank you so much for joining us. joining us now is the writer and self-proclaimed no impact man, colin beavan. we begin tonight with one man, his family and a radical experiment to help the planet. with more than 40%ofthe public now convinced that humans cause global warming- -i just thought, "what if i actually tried not to hurt the environment? what would that feel like? is it possible? is it practical?" one of the things that i as a writer have wanted- because my last two books were history books- is to become more of an activist writer. -in some sort of humble way, i want to have some sense... that my writing is helping the world. for the next year, my wife, baby daughter and i while living in the middle of new york city... are going to attempt to live without making any net impact on the environment. ultimately this means we'll create no trash, so no take-out food... emit no carbon dioxide, so no driving or flying... pour no toxins in the water, so no laundry detergent... buy no produce from distant lands, so no new zealand fruit. not to mention no elevators, no subway, no products in packaging... no plastics, no air conditioning, no tv, no paper- anyway, so that's- -that's kind of like a summary of the project. colin told me what the project would be, and my honest reaction- i was really excited that he had an idea that he was excited about. 'cause that was, overall, the most important thing. i thought, "as long as we're doing all these things, why don't we throw in... my two current addictions," which are shopping and reality tv. -i'm a reality-tv aficionado, addict and expert. look at her face right now. it's good. i've had a really intense relationship with retail. catherine malandrino sample sale. -jean paul gaultier-so fun. and i'll see you at midnight, and then we'll have dinner at 2:00 a.m. marc jacobs is, like- "i'm married, i'm a mom, but i'm still trying to work it a little bit." i'm a high-fructose corn syrup-addicted, you know... screen-addicted, meat-eating girl. -i would say that i was not an environmentalist. i would say that i was the typical, like, consuming- i'm a consumer. i'm a take-out junkie. you were scared of not being able to consume for a year. -yeah, i was. you're right. so you tried to do all your year's consuming in one week. i dropped a paycheck. chloe boots. -that was a lot. how much? i'm appalled at myself. can you say how much though? that's appalling. -that's just- i can't even i'm embarrassed. this was the last hurrah. this was the binge. i got you. -yeah. that's the bill of the binge. yeah, i was laughing 'cause i was just looking for necessities. that was like custer's last stand right there- okay. -spending all my money on silly things. i don't care how much you spend. this particular spending has to do with- your project. no impact. -i thought it was our project. oh, yeah. it's "no impact man." it's his book, and it's his project. and he's no impact man, but in order- but the project is. -our family is doing this. two weeks ago, on day one of the project... we stopped using carbon-producing transportation... which means no airplanes, no subways, no taxis and no elevators. people say, "well, why get so extreme... 'cause not everybody is gonna get so extreme," and this kind of thing. it's to experience the whole gamut of things... to see, well, what really are we willing to give up? at the end, we'll come out of it and see what are we willing to keep. -what are we not? what was too hard? what wasn't too hard? the paradigm is, "reduce, reuse, recycle. " so the first thing is, reduce- reduce our consumption, right? -oh, i think to myself, "you know, of course i can't do without this. i can't do without that. " so the idea is, "okay, let's do without it all." come to see how big the tv is. yeah. -come on in. they're gonna take the tv away. and we're just gonna not have a tv. we're gonna be tv-less people. yeah. -mommy's a little bit addicted to the tv. i'm gonna be 40 this summer, and there were just so many things about the way... that i was living my life- especially with isabella- that i wanted to change. i had my blood tested really in depth... and it showed that if i didn't change the way that i was eating... i was on my way to diabetes and had a low thyroid and- and then that kind of comingled with my 40th birthday... is kind of like that moment in life... when i think, "well, what do i want the second half of my life to look like?" -since the first half is done. tick tock. the project works in phases. i'm not a trained environmentalist, so i'm learning as i go. right now we're really working on our trash. -the average american creates 1,600 pounds of trash a year. we're trying to reduce that to zero. see that hawthorne valley farm? certified organic biodynamic. i'm gonna see if we can all, as a family, go stay on that farm for a few days... and volunteer and stuff. -is that okay? yeah, babe, that sounds like a great idea. the majority of our trash is food packaging and food waste. the good thing about the farmers' market is that most of the food is sold unpackaged... so it's easy to shop there and not make trash. no environmental impact? -yeah. causing no environmental impact. really? yeah. then you can't have this bag. -thank you! how do i say this without sounding like a dick? i get upset to see things individually wrapped in plastic. you know what? are the worm people here? -what do you need the worms for? well, can i tell you about it after? basically, the worms make it compost faster. honey, i'm not into that at all. okay. -we can talk about it. michelle? yeah? wanna come see the worms? see 'em wiggling around in there, mom? -yeah. how do you make sure they don't get out? they can't get out. wait. is there no cover? -of course there's a cover. let's cover it up. wait. isabella's looking at 'em. okay. -nature. mom doesn't really like nature, but dad likes nature. so, diaper cover- made from wool- organic wool. nicely treated lambs. -i checked into all this. there's five different techniques. and there's the bikini fold and the angel fold, and so whatever. we're gonna try the angel fold. there's confusion over... whether cloth diapers or disposable diapers are better for the environment... and the industry-founded studies suggest that it's the same. -but the fact is that we put 49 million plastic diapers a day in the landfills. it's the third-largest source of trash in the landfills. does it feel different, honey? it's too fun. it's too fun. -let's see. hey, hey! look at you. the green-century babe. yeah. -yeah. we come here every sunday for breakfast, and we love it. but as a part of our- colin- our no-impact project- with phasing out everything, including restaurants- so this is our last supper at pastis... and our last supper in a restaurant together as a family, right? we're gonna eat food only from within 250 miles... so it's not that pastis, per se, is a problem, but- -for example, the wheat in the bread... probably comes from the great plains, way far away... so it's- that's what the problem will be that the food comes from all over the place... and we're trying to eat locally. we can eat what we have except for the spices because the spices would last all year. onions are not a problem. garlic is not a problem. -squash is not a problem. potatoes are not a problem. we had leek and potato soup last week for three days. i've gone off meat... but i still have been eating fish, so last night i started... no meat, no fish, no nothing. out of everything -out of the stairs and the scooter and the no garbage- i've definitely found the food to be the hardest. it's still hard. i just wanna go get a baked good. why do you think foods are hardest for you? -because i can't eat anything that tastes good. we're stuck now with cabbage and root vegetables... until the winter's over and the spring comes. hi, ryan. i 'm gonna come back in a little while to get some milk. i've got too much to carry already. -we'll see ya. the guy that i usually give my egg cartons to isn't here. the transportation of food creates a lot of carbon emissions. here in the united states, the average piece of food... has traveled 1,500 miles from the farm to the plate. these guys have great apples. -i 'm wondering what your favorite is. the winesaps'll knock your socks off. there's also lots of other reasons for eating local, like preserving our farmlands. and the reason we're vegetarian is... worldwide, meat-eating is responsible for more greenhouse gases... than anything else, including transportation. there's no locally grown coffee, so i have to cut it out... so today's my last hurrah with the iced quad espressos. -i'm worried that i'm gonna have a slip, that i'm not gonna be able to do it... and then i'm worried about the wrath of colin. because it really bothers him when i have slips... because it makes him feel like the project is going to pot. basically, this is easy for colin, and just murder for me- the food and the caffeine. that's mommy's third and last iced quad espresso. -prepare for takeoff. feelin' good. oh, my god. much better. part of eating local... is about getting to know the farmers that you're getting your food from. -so we're gonna go see ronny at ronnybrook farm and all his little cows. this is the first time i've been on any sort of... non-self-propelled transportation for... more than a month. so it's kind of fun. choo-choo. every cow has a name. -this is thelma. hi, girl. is your relationship with the animals part of why you do it? that's the reason we started doing it. my wife tells me that when my son was born, i had to milk the cows. -i couldn't take her to the hospital. i didn't remember that one. let's talk about organic. you don't have the "organic" label. why don't you, and what do you think about the organic label and- -well, i think "organic" is a good thing. the one thing that i am opposed to as organic is not being able to treat your cows. right. that's the only thing that i couldn't subscribe to. which is what? -explain that to me. well, if a cow gets sick, you can't use any antibiotics. that's the problem i have is lettin' cows die. these have been the same cows for generations. wow. -hi, honey. so let me ask you this. so everything you're saying so let's go to the other end. people are onboard the organic marketing bus. -the most important thing- the reason local is important- is i want to make the food chain legible. if i'm gonna buy a grape from you, i wanna go see what you're doing. you might not be certified organic, but everything you do is organic or better. in milk, it only has to be- it only has to be local... and you have to go see the treatment of those animals. you gotta go see it. -this is an entirely local-food frittata. now, the root vegetables come from an upstate farm. red cabbage also upstate new york. eggs and cheese- -it's from upstate new york too. did you hear the phone ring? i did. that was robin. yeah? -and basically, the deal is that the wanna try and make this the cover story. yeah. but early monday morning at 7:00 a.m., robin needs to have the new draft in his hand. so i'm... feeling so debilitated by my caffeine withdrawal... that i feel like it's gonna affect my work. uh-huh. -i feel like this is a really important story. this is what i think. why don't you wait until whenever- when are you gonna start doing the work? after our dinner party. -why don't you wait till then, and then you can decide. you've gotta be kidding me. i feel like my head is about to pop off my body. it's gonna help me through the process, and i feel like it's gonna be stressful... and so why not avail myself of that help? just a second. -what you really mean is, you want some coffee right now. it's got nothing to do- i'm gonna take the dog out. juice up. that's what you really- -yeah, i wanna go use. i wanna go on a run. well, i don't care. but you do care. well, you know- -i only eat local food. i don't create any garbage. i don't eat anything- wait, wait. you only eat local food, but who provides it... gets up in the morning and makes you breakfast every day- -you. does your lunch- you. does your dinner- that wasn't the point. -then washes the dishes when it's all done? i wash the dishes. what really happened is, robin called you up, and you thought, "oh, this is an excuse." so you're gonna have your-you're mad at me. and i'm telling you that i'm gonna go take care of myself. -you're putting words in my mouth. i never said i was mad. i am now going to go take care of myself and get an iced quad espresso, and maybe two. i don't know. i don't want to let everyone down, or let myself down. -i use this spicy olive oil, and it's the remnants of our olive oil... 'cause pretty soon we won't be able to use olive oil. and you're going to do without power here? eventually. well, what about power in somebody else's apartment? if somebody were to invite us to watch tv at their house, we'd say yes... 'cause it was a social occasion. -i'm not begging, but close. clothing? used clothes are allowed. no new materials, but michelle, i think, wants to go cold turkey. for the whole year. -i'm not gonna buy anything all year. it's been really great letting it go, 'cause i've been able to rethink everything. what do i use? what don't i use? 'cause colin's out of style anyway. -we're the superficial friends. second syllable. good job. at first, because it was our habit to watch tv, we missed it. and now that space is filled... with being in the moment, with friends and each other. -i 'm making cornmeal porridge... which we have a lot, even though michelle doesn't like it that much... because there's not that much we can get locally. so cornmeal porridge is what it is. my apple. okay, give mommy a kiss good-bye. i love you. -i'll see you later, okay, honey? i'm gonna go to work. and i put a post on the blog called "how we avoid making trash." "no indian food in throwaway take-out tubs. no chinese food in plastic throwaway tubs. -no italian food in plastic throwaway tubs. no soda cans. no water in plastic bottles. canceling our magazine and newspaper subscriptions. putting an end to the junk mail tree killing." -i'm calling up the companies... to ask them not to send them to us anymore. "returning egg and berry cartons to the vendors at the farmers' market for reuse. buying milk in returnable, reusable bottles. carrying my ultra-cool, reusable cup and water bottle... which is a glass jar i diverted from the landfill. using baking soda from a recyclable container to brush my teeth. -switching to real- meaning cloth- diapers. shopping for food only from the bulk bins... and from the local farmers' market, where food is unpackaged and fresh." if i want what's inside this box, why do i need the box? and inside the box, there's a bag. "no throwaway plastic razors and blade cartridges. -using old clothes for rags around the apartment instead of paper towels. keeping a worm bin to compost our food scraps... into nourishment that can be returned to the earth... instead of toxins that seep from the landfills." here. look at this. they're gonna eat, i think you told me, three pounds of food material- -a week. yeah. before the project started, we took four days where we saved all our trash. there was 90 gallons in four days, which is kind of disgusting. this is our combined trash for a week. -okay, so, we've done the trash phase. yeah. and we've done the local-eating phase. yeah. and now we're moving into the sustainable consumption phase. -but what about transportation and all the other stuff we've done? yes, but those aren't part of the phases. so now we're moving into- okay. making sure that we don't have any environmental impact through purchasing, basically. -so the first rule is, don't buy new products. okay? but we can borrow, rent or buy used. do you have to go to the potty? do you have to go to the potty? -do you want some toilet paper? actually, we're out of toilet paper. honey, do we have any toilet paper? one thing that's really, really hard is for a consumer... to figure out what's okay to buy and what's not okay to buy... and what should be disposable and what's not disposable, right? yeah. -so that research is really, really hard to do... and nobody can do it all. yeah. but if you just cut out consuming the things you don't really need- yeah. -you've already done it. yeah! you don't have to do the research. so if you discover that really you don't need toilet paper, you can just reuse cloths- yeah. -yeah. you don't have to buy toilet paper... and you don't have to do the research about toilet paper. you get it? yeah. do we really want to be this graphic? -'cause- the thing about it is, is you don't know until you try. i feel like i'm gonna lose my job. the public health mockery of us is just gonna be- it's a one-year experiment. -right. isn't it making you, no impact man, so fringe and wacko... that you'll just be discounted as a fringe wacko? i'm just asking rhetorically. but if i tried it, and i found out that it works... and it's environmentally better and it's no problem... and it can be done just as hygienically, then i don't see why it would cheapen it. but if i don't try it, i won't know at all. -you see? oh, frankie. what's bad about toilet paper? we need our trees to absorb carbon dioxide... but instead we're cutting 'em down to make toilet paper. so part of our experiment is just to ask... do we have to be a disposable culture? -right? and toilet pa- and it's extreme, because we're looking at every angle of that "disposableness." because the throwaway culture itself is really a big problem. and actually, if we were- -maybe we can get away from everything that's throwaway. tonight i was, like, "okay, well, if you're gonna ask me to do this... then i should be getting a prize, a coupon or a voucher, redeemable for something." but i don't really want anything. and then the next thought was- i felt this sadness for the wanting part of me kind of dying a little bit... and it felt like there was just a hole there. -so what is left? what's that? it's all the stuff that we're gonna give away. from cleaning out the closets. okay, ready? -this is called "inventory reduction." i've never, ever been here before where there's been a marc jacobs bag. you already have that exact same bag. no, i don't, honey. you don't? -honey, i have the white sophia. and what's that? that's not white. it's a kind of taupe, and it's a totally different bag. maybe ours was a little bigger. -i don't know. but, anyway, it just reminds me of our tv. you're on new york public radio, wnyc, fm and am, new york... and wnyc.org. mostly sunny skies in central park at 10:00. my first guest today is no impact man. -colin beavan just walked up 24 flights of stairs... accompanied by your host, who is not proud- or tired- to avoid consuming electricity in an elevator. for those of you who happen to have the new york times around... take out section f, the house and home section. there's a big, green-tinted picture of colin beavan's apartment... with his wife and daughter and everything. one of the biggest pictures i've ever seen in the new york times- of one of the littlest apartments i've ever seen in the new york times. i rode home from the brian lehrer show, and i thought... -"i'm gonna go see if any of my friends saw the new york times story... and e-mailed me to say congratulations"... and there was 150 e-mails. the subject line says things like "greetings from the today show." hi. this is mary knowles. i'm a producer for bill maher. -at first i was excited... but then when i saw how many requests there were, and i didn't know what to do... i went from excited to scared out of my mind. hi, colin. my name is celia converse. i work with the discovery channel. -hi, mr. beavan. my name is abian agradge... and i'm calling from al jazeera in english, based out of washington, d. c.. people contacting me from australia, colombia, germany, italy- time out kids is doing a story about families that live in new york- sort of eco-effective, environmental green families. -can you turn yourself more towards me? oh, my god- you see? not to mention, like, italian television, japanese television. interview request from a newspaper in france. -before we started this project, michelle and i- sir, you were talking about the philosophy. what's behind no impact man? i kind of am always thinking about collective action. what we as a society should do. -the laws that should be changed. but one of the things i've always been weak on as a liberal is individual action. why do i have to wait for congress to do something? why do i have to wait for big business to do something? why don't i do something? -the times, though, makes it sound like part change the world... part gimmick for your next book. do you cop to that? yeah, i totally cop to that. i am who i am. this is what i do. -but if i can take the energy of who i am as a person... and point that energy in a direction that- i say this most humbly- and point that energy in a direction that can help the world... then it's better than pointing it in another direction. this is what the new york times reporter says about the project at the end. "it may seem at best like a scene from an old-fashioned situation comedy... and at worst an ethically murky exercise in self-promotion"- so she wrote basically that the range of possibilities... was that it's bad, or it's really bad. to a reader it was really funny. -from my point of view, it undermines the opportunity to cause people to think. what if we called it "the year i lost 20 pounds without going to the gym once"? or "the year we didn't watch tv and we became much better parents as a result"? or if we called it "the year we ate locally and seasonally... and it ended up reversing my wife's pre-diabetic condition"? there are actual benefits to living environmentally. -so this is the readers' opinions, right? 379 comments. apparently it's a huge number of comments. "sacrifice now or sacrifice later. i'm already doing a lot, but plan to do a lot more." -then there is this one. "i can't wait to wipe my ass with this book." this one says, "dtmfa, michelle." which i'm guessing stands for "dump the motherfucking asshole." gawker is a site that kind of parodies and sends things up that are in the media. -"colin quietly weeps on the toilet too moist to move, and too proud to wipe." that was great. but the comments- "my first impulse was to rake these people with uzi fire... while screaming, 'is that enough impact for you?"' i started- i doubted myself for a little while. -i think i'm doing something worthwhile, but maybe i'm not. maybe one, it's philosophically wrong. because i've also got e-mails from some environmentalists that say... "crazy people like you give the rest of us a bad name." could i potentially be making completely the wrong decisions? -yeah, but- i'm just trying- i just try to ask myself to do what my cons- i try to follow the dictates of my conscience. i know that i can't back out now, and i'm not gonna back out on you... but it's making me not want to do it. -i think that it's create- we've been reading the blogs and stuff like that. one person at work has come up- who i really like. she's a friend of mine, but i guess she- everywhere she goes, people were talking about it- -basically how we're bourgeoise fucks and crazy... and she spends all her time defending me. then one guy said... "my wife has instructed me to never, ever shake your hand." and she went on all night about the hygiene and- i understand why people would criticize. -i just don't get why they hate us. i don't think they hate us. i don't get that. completely coincidentally, colin and i were invited to brunch... by this woman kerry, because she's a food writer. and it turns out, at the end of the brunch that i discover that- -she comes clean with the fact that she had written negatively about us... and had been one of our haters on the web. she claims that she's changed her mind about us. i don't know. let me see if i can pull this up. i have been dreading this moment. -i was afraid you were gonna ask. you're a sport. oh, god. "no impact man is, in fact, having an impact but probably not the one he intended. once upon a time, virtue was its own reward. -now a vow of voluntary simplicity is just another entrepreneurial enterprise. the fact that no impact man's ostentation embrace of all things organic... did not come about in, well, an organic fashion, is what bothers me. while no impact man runs around air-drying his ass for posterity... less flamboyant folks are leading lives of quiet inspiration." yeah, i questioned his sincerity and his motives. yes. -and there was a "gee whillikers" quality to the posts that rubbed me the wrong way. your criticism, in the context of the criticism... is very, very mild. i didn't quite get why people hated us or why it was such a- i have a theory. i didn't quite get it. -based on my own experience with this kind of thing, to a much lesser extent... but i think that a lot of this really touches a nerve for people. aside from making people feel guilty and defensive... about their consumer habits... people are very traumatized... if you suggest that they should make do without something. the notion of going without- the notion of "i need it." yeah. -i need this. or i don't need it, but i want it, and why shouldn't i have it? this is being a good american. part of local foods about connecting with the way the food is grown... so i talked to the local community garden... and the waiting list for having your own plot is long, like years and years. but it turns out that there is only one person in the community garden who grows vegetables. -everybody else grows flowers. and he was actually willing to take me on and to mentor me. you gonna help us in the garden? yeah. you wanna grow things? -that's my friend mayer. be careful. that's a rosebush. that has thorns. that has sharp things. -let's talk about what we hope to do today. yep. this little plot is gonna be parsley. just kind of broadcast it over this rectangle. and cover it to the depth that it says to, and whatever else. -want me to tell you what i'm doing? we're gonna put some plants in there. so i'm breaking up the soil so that the plants can grow. i thought gardening was supposed to be hard work, mayer. it is. -i did a lot of the most labor-intensive- when you spread the manure? yeah. right. when i dug the whole fuckin' place up last fall. -i'm takin' these seeds, right? and i'm gonna put 'em in the ground. mayer, we're going to go spend four days up at hawthorne valley farm. there whole thing is that everything on the farm is recycled. yes. -it's all self-contained. yes. i called them up, and the whole family- me and isabella and michelle- it's gonna be our holiday. that's great. -yeah. i feel like we should talk about having another kid. but i know that you don't want another kid... so i feel like that means we're probably aren't gonna have another kid. when we had isabella, i felt like you really wanted a baby... and what i wanted for my life could have- i just couldn't keep that from you. -and i was willing to take the leap with you from that because i felt like- also it's funny 'cause we have this history. i was scared to get married too, and i would say to you, "are we doing the right thing?" and you said yes, and i trust- i trusted you, and for me, it's totally the right thing. -but when i think about having a second child- whose career is it that's gonna get- whose work's gonna get sidelined? 'cause you're totally riding high at work. if we were to have a second child, are you willing to give up that work? -i don't have to- that's so-well, that's so- i don't have to give up my job to have a second child. i don't know why you're bringing- i don't really feel like my work has anything to do with it, really. it does. -because the point is i wanna know if we were to have a second child right? i don't particularly want a sec- i don't want a second child. right? -but before we even begin to consider it... there is not much flexibility in our schedules, right? so what i'm asking you is, where is the flexibility gonna come from? it'll come from me. okay. i've collected all the cleaning products we have in the house already. -standard cleaning products contain all sorts of chemicals... that aren't good for us, and they're not good for the environment either. and they end up getting flushed down our drains and into the water supply. what we're looking at here... are a lot of things that are marketed... as natural and not harming the environment already... because we've been on the project for a while now. they do not allow you to refill the bottles... and for the purposes of this project, we don't use disposable products. and people say, "well, what about recycling?" -but the fact of the matter is that plastic recycling... is not as good as it's made out to be. it's better than nothing, but it's still not perfect. so the people call it "down cycling" rather than recycling... 'cause it goes down in quality every time, and then becomes toxic. as we've been running out of stuff, i've- we've save the empty bottles so that we can... put our homemade cleaning products in the empty bottles. -all our cleaning products can be made from these things- white vinegar, baking soda... castile soap... and borax. how do you tell if it's really clean? but it feels like it- it feels the same as though i'm using a regular cleaner. -hey, poop, you know what i'm doing right now, right? i'm gettin' rid of all the cosmetics. my cosmetics? well, aren't we supposed to do that? you mean my makeup and stuff? -well, i thought so, but i don't know. what are you doin' about your makeup? what are you doing? you're gonna throw all that stuff out? well, no, i wasn't gonna throw it out. -i was gonna put it in this box till the year's over. okay. just let me know. we have to put all this stuff in this box. can you help me? -honey? yeah? leave that bottle that says "fresh" on it. i'll take care of it. i already left that for you. -okay, empty. it empty. i know. i need that. 'cause you know what i'm gonna do? -i'm gonna make shampoo and put it in there. a few days ago i blogged about the fact... that we were gettin' rid of the electricity, and i asked for suggestions. and i gave a list of all the things i needed help with... and one of the things was laundry. and somebody e-mailed me and said that they used to do their laundry... in the bathtub, and they would just walk on it. and that sounded good to me. -you wanna do it too? now we go backwards. mom? we're doing the laundry. i wanna do it myself. -you wanna do it yourself? but i'm worried you'll fall over. don't fall over. what are you cleaning these clothes with? castile- -i told you not to fall. i told you not to fall. what's in there? castile soap and borax. what's borax? -it's natural. it's all natural laundry stuff. you wanna get in? yes. a laundry. -you're doin' the laundry. when she goes to college, she's gonna be- you made the water so cold. well, they've been soaking' for three hours. well, this isn't fun. -come on. it's like crushing grapes. come on, get it clean, kids. i see something troublesome. troublesome? -what? okay. that's all right. see? always lookin' for trouble. -a laundry. we're all doing a laundry. don't your friends think you're insane? and i'm trying to imagine- when they come over for supper at your house... for parsnips or whatever it is you have lying around. -what do your friends say about this? with no napkins and no toilet paper. could you do it? nobody has to do what i do. that's not the important thing. -what i'm doing brings attention to the issue. but all of us should just learn to do what we can do. you're now-what? five and a half months in. next step is to get rid of electricity and live by daylight alone in new york city. -saturday-there's a switch in my apartment... which is the circuit breaker for the whole apartment. we're having a little party for our friends, and we're gonna click the switch off, so, yeah. we should let everybody know we're gonna be following colin... throughout this long year. i was gonna get some spinach... but now that the electricity's going off, i realize i can't buy a lot of stuff. i gotta just buy for the next couple of days because everything will just spoil. -tonight we're switching off the electricity... and i haven't really thought about it, but i actually feel- we're moving into the sixth month... and i'm starting to really get into the dividends... and the benefits are really starting to pour in... so i'm actually kind of excited, but i'm sure that- talk to me in a day, and i might be just miserable. let's just talk a little bit about what it's gonna be like. well, there's gonna be a transition period that's hard like everything else. -hi. hi, baby. how are you? how's it goin'? hello! -how are you? hi. "composed of post-consumer recycled materials. help us help the planet." is that not good enough? tell me what's wrong with it. -it's a disposable cup. yes. non-recyclable top. yes. and the jacket, and then the- -and then you have two cups, in fact, it looks like. you've broken every rule. every rule there is. okay. have you guys seen our new refrigerator? -you want one, don't you? what's the story? what's it called? it's called a pot in a pot. it was invented for use in nigeria. -and the idea is that the- the water evaporates from the- the sand in between the two pots is wet, and the water evaporates... and the energy of evaporation is taken from the inner pot... which causes it to cool down. and, for example, a tomato- which would only last in nigeria two days after picking- in this thing would last three weeks. and there's a glass of water in there right now, so we're gonna see if the glass and water- -see, i thought that was part of the refrigeration. no, the glass of water's in there 'cause we're gonna see... at the end of the night, if the glass of water's cold. i thought that was like the nuclear core- that drove the whole thing. nuclear energy. it's not. -okay. i got the gist of it. oh, yeah? and are these from the farmers' market? yes. -okay, here we go. just sit. we're fine. it's colder, but it's not that cold. futz with it, i suppose, and see if there's a way to make it a bit colder. -this has become my four seasons. i have my lights. somebody comes in, empties my garbage. and there's, you know... plenty of heat and electricity and air conditioning. so now my huge treat has become... the ice. -i'm gonna go show you. technically, the ice shouldn't be allowed either... but i... allow myself the ice. it's really good. it's tap new york city tap. -so it's just as good as bottled water. probably cleaner and better than a lot of bottled waters. it's good to get the ice but to get it really cold, you have to wait a little bit. you guys, i wanna run a story by you. -basically, i got a really good, juicy inside dope today. it's kind of like a "what went wrong" story. they focused on their weaknesses. they totally neglected and under invested in their strengths. at this point, i just have to just report the thing to death, right? -and then see what we have midday monday. this is a very big story. i know. this is the first story where i didn't even think about having to do it without caffeine. i'm making some progress. -i'm making some progress. honey? do you remember where you put the matches? wait. hang on. -hang on. here they are. i got 'em. it's kind of really our first night without the electricity... 'cause last night we had people over, and we had the electricity for most of the night. are you down? -are you mad at me? what is it, babe? it's stupid. what, the project's stupid? well, the going without electricity. -who's gonna go without electricity? that's dumb. so that's what's really bothering you? you're afraid that- i just think it's gonna be- i feel like it's a pain in the ass. -it kind of is. can't argue with you there. i don't know. i just feel like the whole project's a curio- maybe a curiosity... but not- everybody will have moved on by the time the book comes out, and- -it's just gonna be another irrelevant book. let's just say it turns out that it's totally stupid. right? okay, i don't think that. but just worst-case scenario. -so we had a ball. we've had a ball doing it so far. it's been hard, but it's been fun, hasn't it? yeah, it's been fun. new york public radio, wnyc, fm and am new york and wnyc.org. -and the heat index issue is not just a warning. the heat is here. it's already 84 degrees, and it's only six minutes after 10- that's gross. i got home yesterday, and there was flies all over the apartment. -there was a bunch of flies reproducing in my worm bin... and every time i opened the worm bin, more baby flies flew out. oh, my god. look at 'em. oh, my god. by the way, look at this. -it's all earth. see? i didn't think that it would work. it just doesn't work, okay? there's a reason why people have refrigerators. -the truth is i'm just mad because i'm- i'm just devastated about that google information about getting pregnant. the statistics are so low, and i'm basically turning 40- and note the gray hair- and i just feel devastated about it. and i feel in a sense that somebody like me would have a five-percent chance... like in any given- -it's gonna work out your way anyway because the chances are so low. i totally hear that you're sad, and i totally understand... but it feels like a reality show for me, discussing this issue on camera. i thought that you wanted to know how i felt about the pot in the pot. well, that's i totally wanted to know how you feel about the pot in the pot. -this is how i feel about it. our whole thing was that we were gonna totally support... who the other person wanted to become, right? we were gonna kind of be onboard for each other's dreams. this is important to you that we don't have a fridge. right? -i'm onboard with that, and then i feel really bummed... because i feel like we're putting all this energy on your dream, right? and then i'm like- i'm totally willing to work with you and talk to you... about the prospect of having another child and see where we get to in talking. but if you're connecting it to the project, i- it's tied together for me. -they're totally connected. so if they're not connected for you, then- if i've got this right, you feel as though you support me, but i don't support you. i don't support your dreams. i feel like this is my biggest, most important, most precious thing. -right. and i feel like- yeah, you don't wanna do it, so- so it's kind of like no. the answer's no. -well, i want to want what you want. but i don't feel like it would be good for our family... for me to just say, "okay, you want it, so i'll do it"... when i have such strong feelings about it. do you wanna move this out then? that's okay, honey. we're just gonna leave that there just for now, okay? -okay. the pot in the pot has been moved out. and this is our latest refrigerator. to keep it cold, i mooched ice off of my neighbor hilary. do you need to come and get it every day? -or how do you wanna- i think this will last a little while in the cooler. yeah. i hope so. i think so. -okay. can i carry the bag? yeah, yeah. you can carry the bag. let's put the freezer- -thank you so much. you're welcome. say thank you to hilary, honey. thank you. bye. -you're welcome. bye, sweetie. okay. perfect. we're gonna take the ice pack and put it right on top... so that your milk stays nice and cold. -and you wanna just drop the cubes on there? drop 'em? one by one? one by one. the refrigerator is my bottom. -the pot in the pot. and now the- i don't know what i hate more- the pot in the pot or this. i'm not sure. just mooching power and ice cubes. -so i kind of don't get it. i'm kind of like, "what?" say, "bye, wacko fridge." bye, wacko fridge. who cheats more-you or colin? -i'm sure i have to cheat more. like this. i tried a vegetable dye at home, but it was a disaster. right. he doesn't really cheat. -he'll bend the rules a little, but that to him wouldn't be a cheat. there's no trips this year because we can't go anywhere. so he decides that we're gonna make an exception... and we're gonna go up to the farm where they grow all our food. we walked to penn station with our luggage. this is when the slip started. -i go to dunkin' donuts. there's this huge line. i give the lady this huge tip, and i'm like, "could you refill this glass twice?" i get two huge decafs, and i knock them back at dunkin' donuts. hooking you up. -and there's 10 people behind me. but i gave her such a good tip that she was just my girl for a while. but i was like- i don't wanna be putting our energy into the pot in the pot. i wanna be having another kid. -i don't wanna spend my vacation on a farm. when we got married, i was like, "look, colin, i'll marry you. but there's one thing. i don't like camping. i'm never going camping with you." -but now our whole house has turned into a campground. and also i don't really like nature. and now for our vacation, we're going into nature. we're gonna see and work with all the food that we eat from the farmers' market. this is the farm where it comes from. -hi. a cow. cow. you can put your hand out and touch him. hi, cow. -thank you so much for having us. my pleasure. we're having the best time already. we've only been here for an hour. as you work to steward this land... you are growing a very vital... dynamic being... that's in balance. -it's a closed-loop system. the cows eat the grass. they give you milk, but they also give you manure. the manure's composted. it becomes the fertility. -we make about 400 tons of compost per year. and smell it. yeah, it just smells like earth. it smells like my worm bin, actually. you say though a lot that this kind of is the realization of his values? -yeah. do you- how do you feel about it now, six months into that? do you still- i feel like there's no going back. -there's no going back. right? right? this is for our family. it's not just about the project. -where are you from? i live in the city. i hope to be more of a help than a hindrance. let's go! that's henry. -that's the bull. come on, henry. let's go. it's good to escort henry into the barn. the night before we left, the farmer and colin were having a conversation. -they were talking about how the valley once was populated with sheep. and they were also talking about how people could devolve into animals. and i just felt so transported by this conversation. and we went to bed that night with the beautiful farm air... and the beautiful farmhouse with the beautiful people... who treated us like we were family... and i dreamt that i was one of the sheep. it's weird, 'cause my grandparents were farmers. -they were homesteaders. and i started feeling like- i feel like my family... left something back there. and i was like, "i feel like i'm going back to get it." when i listened to the farmer talking about the herd... and how sometimes that something will happen to one of the cattle but the herd goes on... i just felt like i woke up. -i felt like i got to reconnect with something. a company loaned me this solar panel for the project. i can't change the way that electricity is delivered to my house. you got it? yeah. -the solar panel will provide just enough electricity... so that i can power my computer and write my blog. but what's really interesting about this phase... is that it's the first time that i've realized... that it's not about using as little as we can possibly use... but finding a way to get what i need in a sustainable way. and that's what we need to do with my electricity, with the solar panel. but that's also what we need to do with our systems. we just need to figure out how to get people what they need... in a way that doesn't harm the planet. -tell that guy to get out of the bike lane. do you wanna know what i gave her for her 40th birthday? no birth control. you know what i'm saying? we call it russian roulette. -now the question is, is it click-click or bang-bang? if it's bang-bang, i die, she lives. watch out on your right for a lunatic. my blog post today was about opportunities in the crisis. imagine if we made the city nicer to live in. -so the two comments on the post so far are: "let's be realistic." you can't make a city nice, so forget it. there's such a lack of idealism. but i think realism's got us where we are. -you know what i'm saying? that helps. you okay, michelle? watch out, honey. i know. -i know. it's so quiet. i know. that's fort tilden over there? yeah. -oh, my god. this is like the hamptons. it's better than the hamptons. 'cause there's no one here. oh, my god. -how radical is this? and this is still new york city. we're in new york city. bug! will you go swimming with me? -to me, it's amazing how resilient nature is. there's sandpipers on this beach, and everybody's trying to survive. and there's these sand crabs, and they're in new york city. you see the two of 'em? yep, i see it. -yep. i see. people keep talking about, "what's the hardest thing?" "are you depriving yourself?" as though all these aspects of the project are hard. -but it's not about deprivation. it's not about not taking care of yourself. it's the opposite. it's about seeing is it possible to have a good life... without wasting so much. colin met this amazing woman at the farmers' market who loaned us her tricycle. -we can roll. it totally changed our life. we have no tv, no lights, no electricity, no air conditioning. these were all the things that kept us inside. we're kind of forced out of the apartment all the time now. -the days feel like they just last forever. what are those? they're fireflies. they light. you playing gin rummy? -playing gin rummy. now, i wanna show you something, okay? this is what you call "kicking dad's ass." okay? we're coming from vastly different spaces. -no one is ever gonna be as naive- naively hopeful and naively optimistic as we were in the late '60s. but i think there might be something kind of similar... but more muted that's happening now. not in the same way at all. but i feel like there's a certain... quiet beginning of a rebellion happening. the other thing is to point out is this on the garlic. -this is called a scape-s-c-a-p-e. i would suggest you take home one or two of those. okay. these are the beans. you can see how they're grabbing the pole. -and see this? yeah. it's starting to make tomatoes. are you overall optimistic about humankind, or skeptical? i'm of the belief that it's always 50/50. -right. that, in fact, some things are getting better. right. some things are getting worse. yeah. -every time you try to do something right, no matter what level you're on- right. there are unforeseen results. my hesitation about your work... is that it enables people to fool themselves- that all they have to do is change the light bulb- and recycle their plastic bag. well, as long as they feel that way, no politician will pick it up. -and i feel that it's completely true, that it's both. you need to have- i think that there's a tremendous- if you have a political stance... then there's a tremendous integrity to living in a way that reflects that political stance. at the risk of being too personal, but- -right. it's not. it's just the facts. michelle writes for business week. yes. -millions of trees are cut down on a regular basis... in order to promote the thoroughly fallacious propaganda... that american corporate capitalism... is good for the people- good for you and me. now, if it's your contention... that she makes up for it, that evens out... because she doesn't take the elevator in your fifth avenue co-op... i have to say you're either dishonest or delusional. there's definitely an irony... or a paradox involved in that, but- where did all this crap come from? -american corporate capitalism did all of it. if anybody really thought... that you were gonna have an impact there... you wouldn't be getting the attention you're getting. and here's our no impact man, colin beavan in the no impact s.u.v. wait a minute. i got to check this out. -you may be on my show, but i'm not here to spread your particular gospel. 'cause i think what you're doing is extremely dangerous, okay? oh, there we go. that's good. now i've got you all set up so i can see you. -i can see a little bit. a little bit. a little bit. i'm gonna hold something up for you to see more. it's disgusting. -no, it's not. it looks like shit from here. yeah, it is shit. it's worm shit. i think that my only connection to food before the project was eating it. -i really ate all my food pretty much at restaurants... or out of take-out containers. i never cooked it. i never prepared it. i never thought about it. i never composted it. -i never thought about the waste. now that i go to the farmers' market, i know all the people who grow our food. i kind of have this little desire to take it to the next level. i'm seeing today as just the first succession, the first lesson. so we're gonna just make some- -i'm just thinking of a few things that we can make. so start with the green beans. just snap off just this end. so snap off the kind of uglier end-this end. exactly. -see? here are the dandelion greens. i'm gonna just snip the ends off. i'm just gonna cut off the end. okay? -okay. great. nicely done. preheat it to 375, but honestly, i might turn it up a little towards the end. i'm gonna make coffee, but i know you don't want any, right? -oh, yeah. i'll have a little. yeah. i can have just a little bit. but there's a reason why i can only have a little bit. -i wonder if you guys can guess the reason. just have a little bit of coffee. are you pregnant? oh, my god. you are? -oh, my god! that's so great! i know. oh, my god. i'm so happy for you. -i wanna go out. dad's gonna take you out, love. dad's gonna take you out. i'm just gonna put them on. i love tomatoes. -i'm making dinner tonight, and i've actually never made dinner for us. do you want me to show you how to get that oven to get to 350 or 375? it's a little tricky. why don't you just do the oven to 350, 375? okay. -yep. yep. okay. that's a good trick. okay, and then if you wanna be sure, there's a thermometer down there. -oh, that's nice. it tells you what the temperature of the oven is. we really love our eggplant. we really love our egg. it might not work out, but you have to learn and grow. -tonight, i'm just focused on trying to learn how to roast the vegetables. bye! bye. i feel a little performance anxiety. i wonder if i should cut these off or- -i feel really nauseous. my whole life i've been looking for gurus or this program or that thing or- i've always been kind of like looking for something. i feel like we're looking for that thing together, and we're kind of like finding some of it. i have to admit that there were times when i was this asshole. -i had a lot of moments. now i think what he's doing is so cool. i get a big kick out of him. i just think he's, like- not quite done yet. -madame and monsieur. oui. more cheese on my bread, please. more cheese on your bread? just the idea that you can park with other things besides cars. -the idea is, why are we dedicating this land to cars instead of people? could you imagine if this extended all the way up to seventh avenue? we started the positive impact stage of the project. the idea is no net environmental impact. so that's reduce our negative impact and increase our positive impact. -and it's not meant to be scientific. it's just meant to be philosophical. can i live on this planet doing more good than harm? i've been helping with a research project... to do with putting oysters back in the hudson river, which will filter the water. i went cleaning out tree pits in the bronx. -i was, like, "what a crock of shit no impact man is as a project." there's this network of people who have been working on this stuffforever. once you no longer live in the ignorance... that when you throw something away, it actually goes away- it's just a really difficult thing... because, yes, your piece of trash comes to a community like this where it's processed. most people, as they consume... don't understand what the real costs of those goods are. -the pollution that was created to make it. the health effects that were associated with it. we're the point sources for all the greenhouse gases... that everybody's trying to curb right now. i think that we should be spending more time... recognizing that people's lives are being compromised every single day... and have been for decades. 1 2,000 trucks a day go through that neighborhood. -the diesel particulates in the air are causing asthma in kids... causing brain damage in kids. when i started this project, i just thought i was just gonna make less garbage... not travel so much, and "wouldn't i be a hero" sort of thing. and i- i guess i wasn't so clear on how many issues it was gonna open up. i'm not talking about the polar bears. -i'm not talking about the people in faraway island communities... who are gonna be hurt when the ocean levels rise. i'm talking about people who already are living with the effects... of our over-consumptive society. if you'd asked me nine months ago... would i ever have my baby be on a bike, and i would say no. absolutely not. that's insane. -and i remember going off on the bike messengers. "those fucking bike messengers. they're fucking insane." and "anybody who would ride a bike in new york is fucking insane." and "they're making it really unsafe- the bikers- for us car people... -like suv renters, they're making it really fucking unsafe for us." and that's my world view. and now my world view has completely flipped on its head. the streets have totally been taken over, and they're not for people. and then the rapacious consumption for consumption's sake... and the coma that that induces. -i'm just rethinking everything in terms of what's important. do you feel that moving forward... that you'll somehow- you feel like there's some other way of considering your decisions? yeah. i mean- -you know, well, now- what am i gonna do, just say, "well, i don't care"? fixing it so that we get the most... sun that we can. a big question at the center of the no impact experiment... was whether one person can make a difference. one of the things that i really get worried about... when people talk about the fact that individual action is not important... is that the thing about individual action is that it causes people to be engaged. -our society is not set up to live sustainably. we need more mass transit, higher-efficiency vehicles... no more coal-burning power plants. these are hard changes. the international panel on climate change... says that we need an 80% cut in carbon emissions by 2050. that's huge. -as your constituent, the first thing that i wanted to do... was i wanted to thank you for sponsoring the energy bill, because- you're welcome. that gives us a good- good solid bill. using less is a start, but it's not enough. -we need to demand that our systems become sustainable. you can rock here. let me rock you, okay? do you wanna rock while you look at frankie? we told isabella... we thought michelle had a baby in her tummy, but we were wrong. -she didn't actually. i guess it was the second time we went to the doctor. the first time we went to the doctor, everything was fine. and then the second time we went to the doctor- well, it wasn't that every- - there was no heartbeat. -yeah. the second- there wasn't one. there was no heartbeat. where are you going? from the perspective of the story, it would have been the perfect ender of the story. -i finally kind of cross over into no impact... and really embrace it, and that's what colin really wanted. and then i got pregnant, and that's what i would have really wanted. and then the project winds down. it's all kind of in this really great bow. and it's not a bow. -it's a big loose end. so it's a loose end. it's a narrative loose end and a spiritual loose end. just a loose end. a lot of loose ends in life. -i think we'll probably try again. they're like rainbows. is that like rainbows on your feet? rainbows on my feet. the official swan song of the garden is when you turn the soil over in the fall. -that's the official end of the season. it's kind of interesting, because we're coming back... to the food that we were eating when the project started... which is squash and root vegetables and stuff like that. and, similarly, the garden is getting turned. so you actually-you kind of- it's not like you turn the calendar page, and you can tell that a year has passed. -you feel that a year has passed... because you're recognizing something about the earth. we're so disconnected, i think, in the city from the natural rhythms. i didn't know this before, but it's actually a great pleasure to be connected. it's freezing in here. it's november 7, and we're almost done, and i'm cold. -so a lot of times what i do is i- see, i've just got home from work. i'm wearing a suit. but i come in here, and i get in the covers. i spend a lot of time under the covers when it's cold. -we don't talk about it ending. it's funny because we're gonna be separated when it ends. because when it ends, for me, i'm getting on a plane to go see my parents... who i haven't seen in a year. and colin will be here, and i'm taking isabella. so we -it's funny. we haven't really talked about it. but everybody on the outside asks me about it. hello? what's up, sugar pop? -there's not any light in here. i can't see. i'm looking forward to reading in bed with isabella... with ample illumination. ample illumination. you're not tired, are you? -next week, there's this school thing happening at nyu. something like 200 nyu students are gonna try and live no impact for a week. i think that's so cool. so on sunday, i go, and we have kind of a workshop about how to do it. and then the following monday, i go and i give a big talk. -room 206. and this week, as you experiment, i think you're gonna see that it's not so bad. my experiment only lasts two more weeks. as i come out of the extreme, some of this stuff that we've given up, we'll take back. but that fact is that the balance will be there. -we are gonna be substantially causing less environmental impact... and without adversely affecting our happiness. the fact of the matter is that if only i change, it's not gonna make a difference. but the hope is that if each of us as individuals change... it's going to inspire everybody to change. so i believe the most radical political act there is, is to be an optimist. the most radical political act there is, is to believe that if i change... other people will follow suit. -the reason why i'm here is because a first-grader called olive... wrote to me on my blog and asked me if i would come. people ask me, "if i can just do one thing, what should it be? not use plastic bags or not use plastic cups?" i would say if there was only one thing to do... it would be to volunteer with an environmental organization. part of the reason for that is because there's community. -i believe very strongly that a lot of the environmental problems in our planet... have come because of the breakdown of community. because without community, none of us feel accountable to anybody else. all of us are interconnected on many levels. if you're religious, then you understand that at a religious level. but even if you're just practical, you can see that we're interconnected. -if i splash a puddle and you're standing next to it, it splashes you. if i make pollution, you have to breathe it in. my mind wants to tell me that i'm the only one that's important, you know? so i have to keep teaching myself over and over and over again that that's not true. and then when you turn the light on, are all the lights gonna go on? -most of them. i tried to set it up so most of the lights come on. as soon as you do that, they're all gonna go on? no. i have to do a few flicks. -'cause there's more than one circuit breaker. so you have to hit three circuit breakers, and then they all will be on? yes. so we should light this. okay. -it's been- well, it hasn't really been a year... because the electricity phase started around month six. so it's been six months since we've had electricity. so it's gratitude for small pleasures. there we go. -i have to say i was really skeptical about a lot of things in the beginning. and i thought they were insane and really stupid. and i hated and resented you, alternatively, for them. but i really, really wanna keep the biking. i wanna keep as much as we possibly can the no garbage. -and i really, really wanna keep the farmers' market. i wanna be a vegetarian, but i wanna be- i wanna have a hot dog now and then. i would be a vege- a "vegehogian" or a "vegedogian." i'd like to not have tv in the house, but i can't wait to go to the movies. -and when we're on vacation, that thing is on. there are some things i have some issues with. yeah? why can't we take those worms back? because they do make "lord of the fleas" in the kitchen. -and also there are some things that we're just not gonna be able to do maybe... and that might be one of them. 'cause i get to make some decisions around here. get out of sterling fast. and i want every barrel of oil you can find. i don't care what it costs. -it'll be worth twice as much by lunchtime. lloyd, i need that information on the price cooper acquisition. go round to my flat. the paperwork's there somewhere. "mr richard, i have the papers." -and can i just say that your new piece is tremendous? i haven't acquired anything in months. i love the light effect. can i touch it? never touch the investments, lloyd. -sorry, sir. i'll have the papers sent straight over. now, that is cool. crazy. yes, what is it now? -i... argh! come on, man, i haven't got all day. lloyd, you're fired! morning. -ahem! urgh! do you always bring this much stuff to work? er... yes. -i like to be prepared. i know some of the creatures can be frightening, but surely this many pairs of underpants is overdoing it? nancy, where's sid gone? talk to me. we have an intruder in sector seven. -no identification as yet. is it small and ugly in a kind of cute way? just a guess. helen? prepare to shoot on sight. -whoa, whoa, whoa! i don't believe it! you've really got to do something about your security. how did you get in? jumped the perimeter fence and kicked in a fire door. -it was easy. what the hell are you doing here? it's my ambition to fight dinosaurs, save the world. look, i just want to help, that's all. i warned you to stay away from this. -i thought you were flirting. it's hard to read women today. can you pistol whip him? sir? just a thought. -mr quinn... it's um, danny. mr quinn, the fate of the nation, possibly the world, hangs on what we do here. it's not a place for chancers and wide boys. my brother was killed by a creature. -don't ask me to pretend it didn't happen. you've seen what i can do, and i want in. lloyd! urgh! idiot! -pollution's getting worse every day, isn't it, sir? it's the traffic. find a shortcut. i can't be late for my train. turn the heating up, would you? -i'm freezing. sid! connor, i think i've found something. show me. it's like some kind of lettering. -no, it's a sequence of numbers. ok. some kind of code? yes, but to what? connor, come in and shut the door. -really? yeah. this new lab is amazing. the temperature and humidity settings are exactly right and the plants flowered...overnight. that was your cue to tell me how clever i am. -you're brilliant. how's it going, staying at your mate's place? it's good, yeah. all that's... you know what it's like when old friends get together. -how about you? how is it living with your baby brother? you missing me yet? what's he doing here? ah... -it's cleaning day at my mate's house. it's a nightmare. i had to bring them to work. this is a climate-controlled lab. you can't treat it like a pet's adventure playground. -i know, but you just trying looking after them for one day. it's like prison break with... beavers. you're going nowhere until we decide what to do with you. don't get too comfortable. karma must really work, eh, danny? -it's not too long ago that you had me banged up. look at you now. the fact that i saved your life doesn't win me any credit? no. what does that machine do, then? -you're not even supposed to be looking at that machine. it's top secret, innit? but it is brilliant. and, you know, it's completely unique. well, i bet you're wondering who invented it? -le connor temple. what? connor temple. that's... i invented it. -so... why is that screen jumping around, then? jumping? oh, my god! lester, before you shout at me, i'm really sorry. -i'll get the hard drive memory back up and running in seconds. at the risk of sounding like someone from the old testament, is there any sane reason why you're keeping animals in the arc? we must have missed an anomaly while it was offline. it closed an hour ago. i'll get the location. -yes, would you do that? because that would be extremely helpful! christine johnson is here to see you. here? james. -this isn't a bad time, i hope? christine, what an unexpected pleasure. do we know where jenny is? no, sir. could you find her for me, please? -yes, sir. now? now. nothing wrong i hope, james? not at all. -don't you have something you should be getting on with? excuse me, miss lewis? we didn't know what to do with these. professor cutter had no family. when was that taken? -it wasn't. it's not me. it's claudia brown. oh my god, sarah. i used to be somebody else. -jenny, anomaly alert. i'll cover it. no. no, i'm fine. wow, nice view. -nice place, if you can afford it. you know what...? i know a lot about art, but i don't really know what i like. ok, the flat belongs to a sir richard bentley. he's the chairman of the abs finance group. -first, we need to find out what this is. is it fungal? whoa! whoa, whoa. maybe. -ooh... nice! mmm. and you need to go and analyse it, quick. thanks very much. -that's ok. armoury to your left, gym to your right. research labs are there. and the operations area you already know. anything else? -yes, there is just one more thing. in private. tell the chuckle brothers not to touch anything. i don't think you've met my colleague mark baker, and this is captain wilder. delighted. -shall we? oi, trouble, don't think you're going anywhere. make yourself useful. come with me. we have good reason to believe that helen cutter had this object with her. -i'd very much like to find out what it is. why is it so important? well, it might not be. we'd like to be sure. never seen it in my life. -perhaps it was destroyed in the fire. perhaps. so tell me, how is the search for cutter's replacement going? very well. we have a number of excellent candidates. -i think i have just the man for you. captain wilder. he's a fine soldier and an excellent leader of men. i'll bear him in mind. the minister is very keen on him. -please do send in his cv. i'll add it to the pile. radical! jenny, you have to get out of there! quarantine the whole block now! -this fungus is toxic. it's incredibly aggressive. you need to trace anybody who's been exposed to it. we need to find sir richard now. if i was still a copper, i'd say that bloke was acting suspiciously. -mmm. where are you going? you've got two choices - you can trust me or you can call in the heav mob. and why would i trust you, danny? cos if i was going to cause trouble, -i'd have done it a long time ago. and i've got an honest face. thank you. bye-bye. ok, that was his office. -he's catching a train. he'll be at st pancras any minute. that's our guy. what exactly did you do in there? i didn't do anything. -he's still alive. we've got to get him out. forget it. i'm handling this. i've had biohazard training. -so have i. fine. what's going on? everything under control? everything is fine. -he's helping me. right. you've killed one of my men. care to explain why he was trespassing in a security zone? we'll send you a full report when the post-mortem is in. -now, for your own safety, i suggest you leave. how many of our men do we have inside here? two, on the maintenance staff. i want every inch under surveillance. do you think lester was lying about the artefact? -of course he was lying. excuse me, have you seen this man? ok, the train that's departing from the platform at the far end. excuse me. guys, we need to rethink this. -becker, you check inside the train. right. better make plans to evacuate. we could be lucky. maybe he hasn't been contaminated. -sir richard? it must have come through the anomaly. past or future? does it matter? can you kill it? -i'll have to do some more tests. unless we find out how to stop it, there's going to be a lot more infected people. yes, thank you, danny. i do realise that. he's not on the train. -i don't get it. i'm telling you, i saw him here a minute ago. over there. i'm going to get out of this thing. what are you doing? -are you mad? when did you actually have biohazard training? connor! danny! what's she saying? -turn around. come on, guys! come on! what is that? what is that? -sir richard? well, this could be tricky to explain to the next of kin. good news, he's not technically dead. the bad news, he's turned into a mushroom. what are we going to do with it? -i don't know. this all happened when it reacted with the saline solution. well, all fungi like damp environments, right? why don't we try drying it out? bake the hell out of it. -we'll see what happens. these tunnels must go on for miles. we're going to need some light. it's not responding. right. -so come on, what's our plan b? you know, just once... just once would be nice. look... something's happening. -aaargh! result! yes! abby! take it out, now! -stay back! don't touch him! we need a containment unit down here straight away. if baking worked, burning's going to be even better. we're going to incinerate it. -makes sense. whoa, what do you think you're doing? what does it look like? oh, that's a great idea. let's send a criminal onto the streets with a flame thrower! -i'm not a criminal. well, you broke in here. yeah, well, i didn't steal anything, did i? you're splitting hairs. the point is, a) you should be in custody, b) you're not part of the team. -he's done a pretty good job for us. twice. three times. we need all the help we can get. we should trust him. -fantastic! you've been here five minutes and i've already got a mutiny on my hands. do you know how to use that thing? no, but i mean how hard can it be? right, he goes, you two geniuses stay here. -you're kidding? i so wanted to fire this. find a way to stop this before it infects anyone else. i don't want any more fungus the bogeymen! the management accepts no responsibility for personal loss or injury! -good luck! basically, it's a fungus. and it likes damp and dark places. chances are it's still in here somewhere. look, don't let any of your men get near it. -i can't risk anyone else being infected. how are we supposed to contain this thing when our gunfire is completely ineffective? well, danny's on his way down with the flame throwers. danny? he volunteered. -he's keen. yeah, that's one way of putting it. just look at those plants. abby is so going to kill me. yep. -sid? that's where you are. great, now i have to go back in. this day just keeps getting better! are you sure this is going to work? -100%. come on, let's go. excuse me! er, sorry, who put you in charge? look, if i'm going to go in there first, then i'm going to call the shots, all right? -ok, follow him, but at a distance. so, look, we corner it and then we grill it, right? isn't that cruel? what? well, that thing was a man not long ago. -suppose he's still in there somewhere? ok, so we ask it nicely, and then we grill it, right? thank you. sid! what are you doing? -stop messing about. come down from there, come on. it's not funny. sid, this is not a game! dark and damp, just like i said. -yeah, bingo. split into two teams. connor, get out of there now! what we thought was ash was just millions of spores. it's reproducing itself. -if it gets into the arc, we're finished. so fire won't kill it? listen... no, tell danny if he tries to burn it, it's going to spread through half of london. sarah? -jenny, don't use the flame throwers. i can't hear you. what? you're breaking up, i can't hear what you're saying. anything? -nothing. are you saying to go ahead? no! no, listen... cut off. -becker, get down here. we've got him cornered, he's got nowhere to go. it looks like someone's sneezed. sarah? ready! -do not use the flame throwers! stop! what? fire doesn't work. stay away from it. -there it goes! don't lose it! we've got to drive it upstairs, contain it. david lodge? have you still got that truck? -what is it now? heat, it likes heat. so... logically... we can freeze it. -sarah, we can freeze it. turn the temperature gauge down to as low as it will go. what about you? you'll freeze to death. do it. -i'll be fine. danny, it's gone up the stairs. has the truck arrived? seconds away. then what? -i'll get back to you. for a minute, i thought he knew what he was doing. keep going! move, move! come on, quickly! -whoa, whoa! come on, connor, give us a sign. it's dying. right, get him out of there. where's those blankets? -come on! connor? i'm fine. let's get a refrigerator truck over there. james, ok, we've got it cornered. -but there's no chance of holding it here. it's too dangerous. listen, the longer we wait, the more people get infected. just...keep it busy until the freezer truck arrives. what do you suggest? -give it the financial times to read while we wait? look, we're bringing it to the arc. so just get everything ready, all right? no... hello? -i don't believe that! i'll see you there! oh, ok. he's really overdoing the alpha male bit, isn't he? something's wrong. -no sat nav! show us the way to the arc. sarah, you're on! yes! it's working. -in a few minutes' time, this place is going to be colder than the north pole. i hope someone's paid the congestion charge. you're actually enjoying yourself, aren't you? well, you only live once. not in my case, apparently. -come again? long story. well, try me. no offence, danny, but there was only one man who understood and he's not here any more, so... shut up! -please tell me this is someone with a plan. that's everybody out now. we're dropping the temperature in the main room. you need to hold the creature until we're ready. no problem. -when i give the word, danny, release the creature. we need to get it into the operations area so we can freeze it. yeah, you make it sound so simple. we're going to need a bit more time. i reckon five minutes should do. -you've got it. what about thirty seconds? huh? we've lost it. you what? -well, on a positive note, at least we've got it in the building. it's definitely in here. we just don't know where. guys, listen up, the creature's going to be hiding somewhere dark. we need to force it down this corridor, through those doors. -how do we do that? freezing carbon dioxide. whatever you do, don't let it touch you. i wasn't gonna shake hands with it. let's find this thing! -right, there's two extinguishers in the ops area. ooh... the temperature is dropping, fast. yeah. all right, let's find these fire extinguishers and get out of here. -where does that vent lead to? back into the cooling system. the only other access point is through the operations room. it's heading exactly where we need it to go. go ahead. -danny, hi. jen, good news. it's heading directly back to the operations room. but i'm still in here. jen, get out of there. -get out of there now! jenny! abby, stay there! it's too dangerous! what's going on? -the creature's searching for heat. but it's freezing in there! it's jen's body heat. it's drawing it towards her. come on! -jenny! no, no, no... no, no, stay on your feet, jenny! jenny! it's going to kill her. -turn off the cold air. the creature's not dead. jenny's going to die if we don't! give me a minute. danny! -oi! what's he doing? over here! come and have a go at someone your own size! it's working. -come on. the creature's freezing. it's...it's dying. go, go, go, go! let's get her out of here! -no, don't touch her! the only chance she's got is if the cold kills the fungus. we wait, ok? yeah. come on. -no! danny, listen to me! it's killing her! but if we take her out now, she'll end up like that. trust me, please. -come on... ok, ok, she's clear. i've got her. ok. bring her through here. -take her head, take her head. if she's been frozen quickly, there's a chance we can bring her back. keep warming her. here we go. come on, jenny. -anything? no pulse. come on, jen. come on. not again. -if she stays like this for a few minutes, we've lost her. not again. please, not again. come on. don't bail on us now. -anything? i've got a pulse. yes! here she comes. hey, hey. -nick... he's gone. remember? you can let go of my hand now. oh, sorry, sorry. -hey, welcome back. you scared us. you all right? i'm fine. you know, i'll never look at athlete's foot the same way again. -james, there's something i need to discuss with you. glad you could drop by at such short notice. now, christine, i wanted you to be the first to know. you're right, i am going to need a man just like captain wilder to replace cutter. i'm glad you've come round to my way of thinking. -oh, not wilder himself, of course. no, he's... playing much too vital a role on your own staff. but danny quinn here is just like him. background in the police, firearms training, management skills. the perfect choice. -i've already cleared it with the minister. congratulations. i'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other. i trust that's all right with you? if it's ok with these guys, then it's all right with me. -their idea. jenny, most of all. um, guv... what's the pay? next to nothing. -seems fair. try not to make a complete dog's breakfast of this, won't you? where's jenny? guys, is there something you're not telling me? what's going on? -you can't leave. i have to. it's your team. no. it was cutter's, and now it's yours. -i don't belong here any more. course you do. danny, i died today. i think i should really quit while i'm ahead. i know you, and i know all about claudia brown. -and i'm sure there's some perfectly rational explanation. yeah, that's what i used to think. maybe we've all lived other lives, but what's important is who we are right now. you're absolutely right. and that's exactly why i have to go. -danny, if i stay here, i'll always be looking back, wondering who i really am. i just want to go and try and forget about the arc and forget about the creatures and the anomalies. and most of all, i really want to try and forget about nick cutter and claudia brown. -you said it yourself, you only live once. you can try to forget him, jenny, but you never will. good luck. sweet dreams, guys. eh? -are you living here? yes. but it's strictly temporary. you know how many clauses of the health and safety guidelines this breaches? sorry. -oh, look, i've got a small place in the city i use during the week. you can um... stay there. till you find something. really? yes. -and connor? yes? put some trousers on. i've got a feeling i'm going to profoundly regret this. narrator: -in november 2009, uncle marshall and aunt lily hosted the first thanksgiving at their very own apartment. and marshall had found the perfect turkey. oh, baby, it is beautiful. it's 22 pounds. -it's organic. you remember my bald uncle heinrek? it looks exactly like his head. oh, my god. my turkey... -my turkey! so, when we showed up for the big day, marshall was pretty bummed out. well, we got the turkey. marshall: -no. you didn't. you got the pathetic replacement turkey. damn it, you know, why didn't i just listen to the prerecorded voice of former mayor ed koch reminding me to take my belongings? no, marshall, you don't understand. -robin and i went to the port authority lost and found, and there, sitting in their fridge... robin: marshall eriksen... is this your turkey? yes! that's my turkey! -oh, come here, you handsome little bastard! okay, i'm going to go put this in the oven. okay. oh, my god! you guys are the best friends ever! -it was totally a team effort. i'm so ha... guys, i don't know what to say. i mean, it's thanksgiving, but "thanks" just doesn't seem like enough. -come on, buddy, you would've done the same thing for us. yeah, i would, and you know why? because i love you guys. and i'm gonna show you just how much. ted mosby, robin scherbatsky, -i bequeath unto you the fourth slap. (both gasp) wait, what? kids, you remember barney and marshall' "slap bet." -when barney lost, marshall won the right to slap barney five times as hard as he could. so far, he'd used three of those five slaps. (barney grunts) with the third being doled out exactly two years earlier on thanksgiving day 2007. a day that history came to know as "slapsgiving." -are you saying what we think you're saying? probably not. unless you think i'm saying "slapsgiving two: revenge of the slap," -in which case, yes, that's exactly what i'm saying! (ted and robin cheer) no way! uh-uh. slaps aren't transferable. lily is the slap bet commissioner. -lil? slaps are transferable. no! transferable! wait, marshall, you realize you'll only have one left after this. -are you sure you want to spend this slap today? life is short. i figured, slap-e diem. okay, rule number one: the slap must occur before sundown, so as not to interfere with lily's meal. damn straight. -two, you guys have to decide amongst yourselves who gets to do it. three... we're going to tie barney to this chair, which shall henceforth be referred to as the slapping throne. sound fair? totally. -robin: amazing. absolutely not! it was all set to be the best thanksgiving ever. until... -(doorbell rings) are we expecting somebody else? it was someone lily hadn't seen or spoken to in three years. dad. now, lily and her dad, mickey, had always had a tough relationship. -mickey's dream was to invent the next great american board game. but his ideas were always a little off. daddy? yeah? you missed my ballet recital. -yes, sweetie, but, look! i just put the finishing touches on my new, hit board game, "tijuana slumlord." daddy? uh-huh? -you missed my gymnastics meet. yeah, yeah, yeah, but this is the one! "car battery: how long can you hold on?" -(chuckling) here, princess. grab these. daddy? mm-hmm. -i had a nightmare. aw, sweetie. here, come play daddy's new game: "there's a clown demon under the bed!" (screaming) -her whole life, mickey disappointed lily. and she always put up with it, until one day in 2006 when lily went to visit her grandparents. so, rita, are you excited about the, uh, the big move to florida? actually, dear, slight change of plans. we're staying here for the time being. -we had a slight financial hiccup. mickey: ma! the straw to my juice box broke! ma, chop, chop! -oh, hey, guys. what a pleasant surprise. dad, what happened to your apartment? oh, well, i had a little falling out with my roommate. what happened? -he wanted me to pay rent. got kind of ugly. dad! you should be paying rent, not living in your parents' basement. hey, it's not my first choice. -having the old farts right upstairs is crimping' my style a bit. clearly, they're not getting the whole "sock on the doorknob" thing. oh, they caught you with a girl? in a way. -bye, sweetheart. i'm off to work. work? you're retired. now that i have extra mouth to feed, -i had to go back to the steel mill. rita? where's my truss? so, not only did you stop them from moving to florida, but now you forced grandpa to go back to work? just until i get aldrin games unlimted off the ground with my new sensation: -"dog fight promoter." and then lily gave her dad a look that marshall had only seen a few times before. a look we all prayed never to be on the receiving end of: her "you're dead to me" look. which brings us back to thanksgiving of 2009. -hey, princess. i brought "diseases!" what is he doing here? i don't know, but maybe we should, uh, let him in and find out. no, i don't want to see him! -get rid of him! hey, mickey. just hang tight, okay? we'll, we'll work this out. take your time, amigo. -i'm okays long as i have "diseases!" the fun's infectious. (both laughing) god, i hope lily's okay. me, too. -she doesn't talk about it much, but this thing with her dad causes her a lot of pain. just tell me which one of you's gonna slap me! what? i'm dying over here! ted reaches for a chip, i flinch! -robin fixes her hair, i flinch! i'm doing so much flinching. it's bad for my skin. i'm getting crow's feet. crow's feet! -lily, come on. it's been three years, okay? don't screw this up. look at you... movin' on up. -what? you got to the 75th floor, kiddo! faster than anybody i've ever seen. you're really proving yourself, sammy. i couldn't be more proud. -thank you. what are you wearing? yeah, what do you think? my new tailor says that ascots are retro ***. yeah... no. -it's a lot of look. isn't it? not me. damn. i need to get my old tailor back. -i thought he was dead. semantics. don't worry about it. mr. oliver? mr. randall would like to you in the conference room. -he sounds pretty angry. don't ask me. what the heck did you do? mr. oliver. are you aware that we have surveillance cameras throughout this building? -mr. randall, i can explain. she was a friend of mine, and she just wanted to go home for a visit. do you see the problem here, mr. oliver? the problem? you didn't kill phil. -i'm sorry? you... what con are you planning here, mister? i'm- i'm not conning, i just-- -wait... you're mad because i didn't kill phil? really? no, sam. i'm mad because you let me think that you killed somebody. you weren't man enough to pull the trigger. -on phil, or on the project. no, i could pull the trigger. i can, i swear! in my experience, you either got it... or you don't. and you... don't. -you're fired. effective immediately. no. please, mr. randall. i can do better. -go clear out your desk and leave, right now. hand over your keycard. okay. mr. randall's secretary told me he would be here any minute. let's uh... -let's get his keycard out of his lock while he's in the gym. yeah. you know, if you two got that covered i think i'm gonna rip a little boxersizing over here. we have to meet nina at the portal in two hours. -and you're seriously thinking about taking a boxersizing class? yeah, i'm getting a little fat these days. oh, wait, wait. there's mr. randall. he's going in. -okay. come on. sock. follow him in there. keep him busy. -ben and i will break into the lock and grab his keycard. okay, one question. why does he have his shirt off if i'm going to the steam room? we're undercover. i'm trying to be inconspicuous. -okay, fair enough. go, go. hello. good afternoon, **. how's the market doing? -down, 200 points. ohh. that's rough. oboy. tell you about it... -you know, i have and uncle... works on uh... wall street. yeah? he used to have a... -corner on the market, now he's got a market on the corner. okay, uh... allow me, samuel. all right, we use my system. we're gonna crack this thing open in no time. -you have a system? there's a lot you don't know about me, sam. please turn the dot to 0-0-0. locked. 0-0-1. -0-0-2. 0-0-3. wait! are you just... wanting me to stand here and try every number until we find it? -trust the system, sam. trust it. 0-0-4. *** be one. well... think i'd better hit the shower. -and get back to the office. no. no, no, no. no, you don't wanna do that. that would be... a huge mistake. -really? why? well, because.. you would be walking out on the business venture of a lifetime. some other time. no! -no, listen to me, there may not be another opportunity. for... thousands of miles of lake front property for pennies. okay... i'm listening. 0-0-9. -ben, this is idiotic. we cannot stand here and try every single number. what are you guys doing? uh... we were just. uh-- -we-- the-- our combination... isn't working. you think you could give us a hand? yeah, no problem. -i got the master key right here. oh, master key! thank you! thank you, very much! all right, guys. -take it easy... ben. and then the... explosive charges go off... completely flooding the grand canyon. filling it up with water, and bam... all that worthless property turned into prime time real estate. -you wanna flood grand canyon... absolutely. it's a national park. so now it's a national pool. sir? -yeah. all ready. benjamin, yes. thank you. okay. -that's my secretary. good, we'll get those papers all... signed up and set over... your way. all right, buddy? enjoy your sweat. -all right. ben and i are gonna go up to the 75th floor and grab nina. you guys stay here... i'll lookout, all right? oh, my god! -andi! has anyone ever told you, you have exclusive fingernails? okay, sam. please, be careful, okay? we'll give you a call if we hear anything. -wait a minute. seriously. what is your secret?

-baby? dad? nina! baby! i was so afraid you guys weren't coming! -where is my dad? he had to stay behind. he had something important to do but... he told me to give this to you. it's blank. -what is it? what? ! that doesn't makes sense. this-- this had writing on it when he gave it to me. -who's that? hello? what? ! damn it! -that's mr. randall in the elevator shaft. we gotta get out of here. we're all gonna die! listen, you flew with ben before. you think you can carry the both of us? -i don't know. i could try. you're gonna have to-- come on, come on! go, go, go! -wow! this is the 75th floor! oh, hey. i'm just gonna go back. you ready to meet your dream girl? -absolutely. what! wh- what is this? you didn't change. -you didn't turn into my dream woman. yeah, i never was gonna do that. what? ! you-- you said that-- -i lied. yeah, so sue me. but, uh... i wanted to teach you a lesson and uh... judging by the look on your face right now... message received. -wow, we! i-- honestly i had no idea that you were this cruel. cruel? you're kidding me? you're a pig! -*** a pig! you're being sadistic! yeah! i tried to be honest with you, right? i tried to tell you, that i simply wasn't attracted to you. -but that wasn't good enough for you, right? and now... you have the *** plan, to come here and punish me! all right, all right? i'm sorry. i don't know, maybe i was projecting my insecurities on to you. -yeah, i get that. you know, it may not look like it from where you're standing, but... i'm definitely riddled with my share of insecurities. you're not the only one who gets judged for the way they look. i didn't realize that. -well... hey... i have an idea. to help us get out of this situation. and what's that? -okay, now... what if... and this is just top-- top of my head. what if... you go ahead and turn into my dream woman... and then i... will feel better about myself for having dated her... and you won't have any insecurities left because i would be all over her. -a.k.a... the better looking version of you. you... you are an idiot. oh, that... listen... can i have my collage back? -i've tried everything. i got it wet... i put lemon juice on it... if there's anything written on this paper, i can't find it. did sam's dad say anything else? -all he said was that this is the way to get the devil in the competition with sam. i'm so happy your home... even though you smell like eggsallad still. yo, nina. childhood memories... right? -oh, my gosh. i'm so stupid! here, give me that. no! wait. -wait. just watch it. see? oh, my god. look at that! -what does it mean? i don't know. it's an ancient demon text. it's way before my time. we get this translated... -sam gets out of his deal with the devil. all right! all right! yeah! where the hell are you guys? -we were unavoidably detained. dos taquitos... one beef, one pork. all right, just hurry up. one beef, one pork. -yeah, i got it, sock. oh, hang on a sec. what? hey, where did you say you are again? it's the old asylum out on... -uh, sammy. how are we doing here, buddy? you almost done? because there's something i really want to show you. listen, you gotta get me out of here. -why? this is so exciting. please, come on. the guy's gonna kill me. always so much drama. -but here. what, that's it? come on. see? now that wasn't so hard. -what? hey, tell me, sammy, what do you know about the world of business? where are we? did you know beginning in the late 19th century corporations were granted all the rights of the individual but none of the annoying responsibilities? they lack, almost by design, any kind of moral compass, conscience or compassion. -basically corporations are a way to enact sociopathic behavior on a grand scale. in short, they're what makes this country so damn great. so, what, you work here? well, actually, i was really rather hoping... that you would. -huh? i mean, what better place to instruct you in the ways of evil than here... corporate america? so the devil's making you work here? yep. that sucks. -i don't know what the devil's angle is, but if he's trying to torture me, it could be worse. a lot worse, man. this place is dope. benjamin, the drink is ready. dude, there's a telephone in that bathroom. -i just got a lot of stuff done in a really short amount of time. i bet you did. you're actually gonna take this job? he did say that if i worked here, i wouldn't have to catch souls. really? -hey, getting paid to sit around and do nothing sounds a whole lot better than almost getting killed by axe-wielding psychopaths. i'm really good at doing nothing. that's true. well, hello. hi, i'm avery. -i'm your personal secretary. you should put this on. mr. randall's waiting for you. who? mr. randall, the c.e.o. -he's asked for you and he doesn't like to be kept waiting. right, absolutely. thank you, avery. after over two years of planning and thousands of man-hours of research and development, we present to you the orchard... combining high-end luxury apartments with the best in shopping and dining. thank you, phil. -i think i get the general idea. now i'd like to hear what the new guy has. he comes highly recommended by jerry upstairs. me? what do you got? -um, oh, i didn't realize i needed to prepare for something. i have nothing. nothing? you have nothing? -maybe that's exactly what this project needs... it is? a fresh start, a new direction and a leader who isn't afraid to throw everything out, to start over from ground zero. sam, i want you to take your time with this, you know, let this simmer. in a couple of days we'll see what you come back with. -phil set the bar pretty low. i don't think this should be too hard. um... yo, benji, i got us some burgers, buddy... benji burgers. -hey, sock. what... what... what is this? just giving ben a trim. you like it? doesn't look like a trim. -looks like way way more than a little trim. something wrong? sock and i usually give each other haircuts. usually? did you say "usually," ben? -lest you forget that we have been cutting each other's hair for six years, ben... six long, wonderful, funky-fresh years of bowl cuts and cornrows and fades and high-tights and many many more, you name it. and then i come home to this. so yeah yeah, something's wrong. man, you need a girlfriend. what? -sock, i don't know why i didn't think of this before. i have the perfect girl for you. ooh, a fix-up. her name is maggie. she's a demon and she is awesome. -you're gonna love her. come on, sock. we can double-date. think how much fun that would be. and i promise we'll dress each other beforehand. -maybe you can give me a little trim and i can clean you up later? absolutely, buddy. all right, i'm in. yay. all right. -i'll fix that up later. for you... benji burger. thank you. extra pickles, buddy. -thank you. how was your first day? good. fun. well, it's great having new blood onboard. -to be honest, we got some people here on cruise control. what a dead weight. i'm sorry. i'm happy to work together on this. i don't even want the credit, so maybe if we... -one sec. oh my god. hey. hey. i just got a text from my dad. -what did he say? "have what you need to get out of your deal. trapped in third circle of hell. need a way out. send help." -see that, sam? you just do little circles and pat the lower back. it's like you're burping out a little toot... a little fart. that's very impressive. listen, tony, -i need to get into hell. what? that's impossible, sam. the living can't go down to hell. they'd be incinerated. -you ever smell a man's flesh boil off his own body? right? have you? no, i haven't, big girl. tony, tony, tony, focus. -my dad is stuck down there, okay? is there any chance maybe you could go? i'd love to, sam, but i got a baby now. i can't just run off willy-nilly on a little jaunt to hell. please please. -i'm desperate. hey, sam, even if i could find a babysitter, i'd have to find an active portal to travel to hell. i wouldn't know where to begin to search for something like that. what about the dmv? -no, that's for vessels only. oh, you know what? i think your best bet would be to find an active volcano. yeah, they're like pimples on the netherworld's ass. oh. -hey, speaking of volcanoes, i think mount st. stevie had a little eruption. i have to go. bye. thank you, tony. -you know what, benji? i'll admit it... i'm a little excited for this blind date. i could tell. you're wearing the musk i gave you for valentine's day. -i am. i'd offer you a little bit, but you got that great natural odor. it's very floral. it's like lilacs or... ben, sock, this is my friend maggie. -hey. no, it isn't. this is maggie? this is your friend that i would love? it's her. -nina, you have really outdone yourself. i'm so happy with you right now. yeah. this is gonna be... yeah, dude. -you should have seen this one during the roman empire... party girl. what was that guy's name? tiberius? oh, t-bone. we called him t-bone. -he could not keep his hands off you. wait, i believe i set you up with him as well. oh, you are such a good friend. that she is. well, i'm gonna make a quick stop down at peepee town. -i'll be right back. okay. hurry back. miss you already. sock. -sock, what the hell are you doing? nothing. prepping a cover story. a cover story for what, sock? for me bailing out on that, nina. -thank you for the effort, but we're gonna tell her there was a bar fight; i kicked everyone's ass as per usual; had to take a trip downtown in a paddywagon. good? no, not good. -not good, sock. that is my friend maggie and i don't want you bailing on her. that's so rude. nina, i waited until she went to the bathroom, like a gentleman. hey. -hey. hey, forgot my purse. it's right there. yes, it is. what's going on here? -nothing. i got paged, so i gotta go to the hospital where i work as a surgeon. you're a surgeon? big time. big time. -i gotta ask... what kind of surgery are you gonna perform? i am going to perform what is commonly known in the medical community as a face/off. a face/off? like the movie? yeah, exactly like the movie. -and we just found the perfect face match, so i'm gonna boogie out of here. pleasure to make your acquaintance. thank you again, nina. yep, okay. hey. -can i help you? i don't know. can you? here. uh, what should i do with this? -i don't know... crush it, light it on fire, just like you've done to my career. here, let me get this started for you. phil, no, stop stop. it's not that big of a deal. -you know what? you're right. it's nothing. 80 hours a week poured down the drain... nothing. my dreams being disintegrated before my eyes... nothing. -my wife leaving me for my dad because he pays attention to her... it's nothing. will you excuse me for just a second? whoa! this nothing is gonna jump out this window. no no! -all 176 lbs of nothing shoots out of my ass! no, phil, no! you're not nothing, okay? you're... you're great. how can you say that? -you don't even know me. because i know a brilliant idea when i see it, okay? and the orchard... the orchard is a brilliant idea. i don't deserve to be in charge of the project. i suck at this job. -i shouldn't even be here. you know what? you're right. can you help me out, sam? how? -i need you to go out this window. phil, phil. come on, you're gonna be so great... fall to the ground like ticker tape or a dandelion. phil, stop. don't fight it. -it's the law of nature... kill or be killed. it's a good thing you wear cheap ties. what is that material, papier-mâché? is he dead? -well, that poor bastard just dropped 59 floors. nah, he's probably fine. hey, a victory martini, sammy? i think i'm gonna be sick. oh, come on, man. -don't feel so bad. most of this is my fault anyway. i've been trying to drive old philly nuts ever since we recruited him from harvard business school. why? that's the whole point of this place. -some companies produce microwaves. here we produce sin. but there's only so much i can explain to you. maybe i should just show you. 75, please. -oh, i almost forgot. i believe you need one of these. only a select few ever make it up to 75, sammy, but everybody in this building would sell his grandma's virtue for that privilege. allow me. hmm, my tailor died. -oh, well, i'm sorry. yeah. 81 years i was with lou. he knew how to make a suit drip off a man. sweet louie. -i'm gonna need some new blood pronto. don't you always wear the same suit? i change three times a day, kiddo. this is my afternoon suit. we're seeing great results from the nymphomaniac temp that we placed on jamison's desk last week. -they're committing adultery on 9 as we speak. how are things looking in the mail room? didn't we cut their overtime? yeah, i just got word a courier is planning on murdering his supervisor and his supervisor's supervisor. welcome to the top, sammy. -they're all demons. demons or souls that i own. and they just mess up everything for people down below? yeah. pretty genius, right? -thousands of employees in this building all clawing and scratching and sinning their way to the top, like phil. then once they're up here, they belong to me. the entire purpose of this corporation is funneling souls into hell. michaels in accounts payable took the bait. he's cooking the books on 18! -huzzah! can you hear me now? okay. yeah, i'm back in town. i'll go over the meeting with you tonight. -what the hell was that? oh, that is a portal to the home office. that's a portal to hell? no, it's a portal to secaucus. i know what you're thinking. -you do? you're thinking this place doesn't look like much. you're right. it doesn't. but you will never know more power than the rush one feels when they make something happen here on the 75th floor. -this portal is definitely made for humans... well, demons to go through. so if you think you can... can you stop that? we're almost finished. okay. nina, could you rescue my dad if i get you to that portal? -no. no? no, sorry. i don't think so. but tony said that demons should be fine in hell. -well, physically... yeah. but i don't want to go. i think it's too risky. sam really needs your help. the woman said no. -i know, i know. it's just that i don't understand why. okay, look, i was really wild when i lived there, okay? and i don't want to slip back into some old negative habits that i've left behind, like maiming and torturing and impaling. -oh my god, you guys, it's like spring break if you're a demon. but you're different now, right? absolutely, in theory. the thing is, i've done a lot of personal development and detoxing in order to stop craving the sounds of people in agony. -she's more of a stevie wonder fan now. okay, we're asking you for your help as friends. if you agree to do this, that's pretty solid proof that you've changed. come on. i think you're gonna be just fine. -i wouldn't ask if there was any other way. come on, nina, please. i think i can hold it together for one day... just for one day. great. -thank you. thank you so much. don't worry, baby. i'm gonna come back to you. just be careful. -it is hell. i know. okay, how are you gonna get her to the portal? well, you need a key card to get to the 75th floor, but they only give those to executives. but i figured if i can impress the c.e.o. -with this presentation i'm supposed to give, he might promote me. have you ever been promoted? no. no. hi. -hey. hi, sock. yep. just looking for nina. oh, no, i haven't seen her today, sorry. -it was really great to meet you yesterday. you walked out on me. that was great too. can we just be honest for a second here? all right. -you don't find me attractive. no, not really. if it's any consolation, i think it has more to do with your choice of shirts. all right, fair enough. yeah, a little frumpy. -okay. uh, did nina happen to mention that i can look like whatever i want? what? i'm a demon, man. this whole appearance is just a construct of my making. -i thought you knew that. i can look like angelina jolie if i wanted to. ah, and you chose to look like that? yeah, low-maintenance, no fuss, don't have to floss. right. -anyway, see you later. hey, maggie, hold on. whoa. so how would this work? what, i'd give you a picture of, like, my dream girl, and you would snap your fingers and turn into her? -well, it's more complicated than that, but yes. wow, that is big news for me. uh-huh. this is major. all right, why don't we give this another shot with a different-looking you? -yes, sure. yeah. sure, yeah. what do you want me to look like? what do i want you to look like? -that's a really big question. hang on. let me take a look at you. mm, it is not something one wants to make a snap decision about. you know what i mean? -it requires some research, planning, a little meditation. i'm gonna need, like, three months. i'll give you a day. let's do this. all right. -good job, yeah. you may recall my self-sucking straw invention... the strawtomatic. well, my genius ideas don't stop at beverage implements. i dabble in architectural design. and i'm gonna get you promoted, sammy. -all right, what do you got? all right, now my first idea combines a whole town and a retail mall... all underwater. i give you bentopia. why is it underwater? ah, 360º ocean views, man. -right, okay. do you have anything that isn't underwater? uh, i'm sorry, i think they all are. so i have nothing, man. -this pitch is in 10 minutes. if the underwater thing's bumping you, sam, let me remind you that we're all underneath water already. man... clouds, sam... they're made of water. ben, i'm screwed, man. -i'm never gonna get to the 75th floor. my dad's gonna be stuck in hell for all eternity. or there's that. residents will live it up in five-star-hotel style accommodations and they'll totally be pampered by, like, uh, a service office. a concierge service. -sure, yeah, you could call it that. the end. what do you think? i think that's phil's model. no. -yes, but i made changes to it, very substantial changes, like how i crushed this part a little. you stole phil's model. that much is clear. okay, listen, i can explain... which makes me suspect that you murdered him as well. -you saw his project. you wanted it for yourself. so you lured the man into your office and you tossed him out of the 59th-story window. mr. randall, no. -i'm impressed. i would ne... wait, what? i have seen some ruthless stunts in my day... not many capital offenses, though. even the best business schools don't breed that kind of bloodlust. thank you? -sam oliver, you are the total package... guts, determination sociopathic tendencies. welcome to the executive ranks, my friend. see you on the 75th floor. can you tell me where the fans are? the fans? -yeah. they are right over there on the bottom shelf. just right there. i don't see... did you just take a picture of my butt? no no no, just your lower back. -don't flatter yourself. oh, benji, i'm almost done. soon i will have created the perfect woman. she looks like frankenstein. don't do me like that, ben, come on. -i'm just saying it's unnatural. it is not. there are regular women right here in this bar who are beautiful. really? okay, show me one. -oh my god. she's not bad. not at all. oh. get to her, buddy. -hey. i'm sorry if i was staring. i just got distracted by your hair. it's got a really gorgeous shimmer to it. thank you. -and those cheekbones are just perfection. wow, i don't usually succumb to flattery, but you're pretty cute. oh my god, i'm just struck by your beauty. look at you. can i ask you a favor? -anything. can i touch your face? okay. team player. i like it. -51/2... that's pretty normal. good, now... oh, have you eyes always been this far apart? you need to stop now. i just need to... -okay. okay, the coast is clear. oh, it smells like hell in here. are you gonna be all right? yeah yeah. -yeah, i'm gonna be fine. i'm gonna be fine. just please make sure that you guys are at this door tomorrow night at 11:00 p.m. because i don't want to be down there any longer than i have to. we'll be here. -all right, are you ready? can you give us a second? hurry home, baby. i'm gonna miss you. babe, i'm gonna miss you so much. -as soon as you get back, i'm gonna draw you a nice bath and give you a long-ass foot massage. you will? that sounds amazing. maybe you could get in the bath with me. oh, honey, i would, but it's a one-person tub -and i don't want to cramp you. i wouldn't mind. i know, but then there's the issue of dirty bathwater. and if we're both in there, then we're only semi-clean, and nobody wants that. -yeah, you're right. oh, maybe we could take a shower together. that eliminates the dirty-water scenario. yeah, that's a great idea... shower. well, there's just one caveat, baby. -what? i don't like to stand when i'm naked. you sit in the shower, babe? well, i sort of squat, yeah. okay, then when i get back we'll squat in the shower together. -okay. what, you never said goodbye to your girlfriend before? i love you. i love you more. okay. -okay, time to go to hell. all right. thank you so much, nina. you're welcome. friends help friends, right? -nina, wait. if you took a shower beforehand, then maybe i could get in the tub with you. okay. there you are. i've been looking for you everywhere. -okay, now what i'm about to show you is the culmination of a lot of hard work on my part. i'm really excited. please, don't. don't, please. the knock on me has kind of always been that i'm the type of guy -that never finishes anything. really? when i was five years old, i decided to build a birdhouse... never finished. when i was 12, i decided to learn spanish... six months later i bid adieu to that dream. i think you mean adios. -shh, do not interrupt. okay, now today not only did i finish something... i nailed something. i present to you, my lady, my dream woman. careful with her. -see, i drew on a variety of sources... the petite, small nose, so characteristic of the women of southern polynesia; the toned arm musculature of a jennifer garner or an aniston, if you will; and the monster boobs of the ladies of "monster boobs," the movie. she's beautiful. yeah, i know. -so you think you can zhuzh your way into that for me? i can do it. i'd be honored. hot dog. what do you say? -tonight, 11:30? thank you. thank you so much. don't screw this up. look at you, moving on up. -what? you got to the 75th floor, kiddo, faster than anybody i've ever seen. you're really proven yourself, sammy. i couldn't be more proud. thank you. -what are you wearing? yeah, what do you think? my new tailor says that ascots are retro-hip. yeah, no. it's a lot of look, isn't it? -well... not me. damn. i need to get my old tailor back. i thought he was dead. -semantics. don't worry about it. mr. oliver, mr. randall would like to see you in the conference room. he sounds pretty angry. don't ask me. -what the heck did you do? mr. oliver, are you aware that we have surveillance cameras throughout this building? mr. randall, i can explain. she was a friend of mine and she just wanted to go home for a visit. do you see the problem here, mr. oliver? -the problem? you didn't kill phil. i'm sorry? you... what kind of con are you pulling here, mister? i'm not conning. -i just... wait, you're mad because i didn't kill phil? really? no, sam, i'm mad because you let me think that you killed somebody. you weren't man enough to pull the trigger on phil or on the project. no, i can pull the trigger. -i can, i swear. in my experience, you either got it or you don't. and you don't. you're fired, effective immediately. no, please, mr. randall. -i can do better. go clear your desk and leave right now. hand over your key card. mr. randall's secretary told me he would be here any minute. let's steal the key card out of his locker while he's in the gym. -yeah, you know what? if you two got that covered, i'm gonna rip a little boxercising over here. we have to meet nina at the portal in two hours, and you're seriously thinking about taking a boxercising class? i'm getting a little fat these days. -wait, there's mr. randall. he's going in. okay, come on. okay. okay, sock, follow him in there, keep him busy. -ben and i will break into the locker and grab his key card. question... why does he have his shirt off if i'm going to the steam room? we're undercover. i'm trying to be inconspicuous. okay, fair enough. -hello. afternoon, gentleman. how's the market doing? down 200 points. oh, that's rough. -boy oh boy, i tell you about it. you know, i have an uncle works on wall street. yeah? he used to have a corner on the market. -now he's got a market on the corner. okay... allow me, samuel. oh, all right, we'll use my system. we'll have this thing cracked open in no time. -you have a system? there's a lot you don't know about me, sammy... a lot. please turn the dial to 000. locked. 001. -002. 003. wait, are you just wanting me to stand here and try every number until we find...? trust the system, sam. trust it. -004. i think that's gonna be the one. well, i think i'd better hit the showers, get back to the office. no no no no, you don't want to do that. that would be a huge mistake. -really? why? because you would be walking out on the business venture of a lifetime. some other time. no no no, because there may not be any other opportunity for thousands of miles of lakefront property for pennies. -okay, i'm listening. 009. ben, this is idiotic. we can't just stand here and try every single number. what are you guys doing? -we were just... we... we... our combination isn't working. you think you could give us a hint? yeah, no problem. i have the master key right here. -master key. thank you. thank you. oh. open sesame. -thank you very much. all right, guys. take it easy. ben. yes. -and then the explosive charges go off, completely flooding the grand canyon, filling it up with water, and bam! all that worthless property turns into primetime real estate. you want to flood the grand canyon? absolutely. it's a national park. -so now it's a national pool. sir. yeah. all ready. benjamin, yes, thank you, okay. -that's my secretary. good. we'll get those papers all signed up and sent over your way. all right, buddy? enjoy your sweat. -ben and i are gonna go up to the 75th floor and grab nina. you guys stay here on the lookout, all right? oh my god, andi, has anyone ever told you you have exquisite fingernails? okay, sam, please be careful, okay? we'll give you a call if we hear anything. -give me that. seriously, what is your secret? come here. do you do reflexology, paraffin these babies? would you stop it? -just let me look... randall! go go go go. call 'em. come on. -sam. leave a message. sam, mr. randall is here. he's in the building. get out. -wait wait wait. sam, sam, sam, sam, i think you're good. he can't get in without his key card. you are golden. -i repeat, you are golden. you're good. you're good. nope, call him back. speed dial. -speed dial. nina. baby. dad? nina. -babe. i was so afraid you guys weren't coming. where's my dad? um... he had to stay behind. he had something important to do. -but he told me to give this to you. it's blank. what is it? what? that doesn't make sense. -this had writing on it when he gave it to me. what's that? hello? what? damn it. -that's mr. randall in the elevator shaft. we have to get out of here. we're all gonna die. you've flown with ben before. you think you can carry both of us? -i don't know. i could try. you're gonna have to. come on, come on, come on. go go go go. -oh, wow. wow, the 75th floor! oh, hey. i'm just gonna go back in here. you ready to meet your dream girl? -absolutely. what? uh, what is this? you didn't change. you didn't turn into my dream woman. -yeah, i never was gonna do that. what? you said... i lied, you know, so sue me. i wanted to teach you a lesson, and judging by the look on your face right now... message received. -wowy. i honestly had no idea that you were this cruel. cruel? are you kidding me? you're a pig. -i was not being a pig. you're being sadistic. what? i tried to be honest with you, right? i tried to tell you that i simply wasn't attracted to you. -that wasn't good enough for you. no, you had to concoct some cockamamie plan to come here and punish me. all right, i'm sorry. maybe i was projecting my insecurities onto you. yeah, i get that. -no, it may not look like it from where you're standing, but i'm definitely riddled with my share of insecurities. you're not the only one that gets judged for the way they look. i didn't realize that. well... hey... -uh-oh. i have an idea to help us get out of this situation. i'm listening. okay, now what if... and this is just off the top of my head... what if you go ahead and turn into my dream woman and then i will feel better about myself, having dated her, and you won't have any insecurities left because i will be all over her, a.k.a. the better-looking version of you? -you... you are an idiot. oh, that... listen. can i have my collage back? you know, i tried everything... -i got it wet, i put lemon juice on it. if there's anything written on this paper, i can't find it. well, did sam's dad say anything else? all he said was that this was the way to get the devil into competition with sam. i'm so happy you're home, even though you smell like egg salad still. -nina, childhood memories, right? ooh. yeah. oh my gosh, i'm so stupid. here, give me that. -oh, what are you doing? wait. just watch it. see? oh my god, look at that. -what does it mean? i don't know. it's in the ancient demon text. it's way before my time. we get this translated... -sam gets out of his deal with the devil. all right. yeah. it's a not as fast as, um, the human eye so like every -- when you're looking at -- when the lens looks at stuff, everything seems much faster. that's really cool. -it looks amazing. yep. so how are you doing in school? good, good. how are you doing in english? -pretty well. so, what subject are you not doing so well in? your mom said that you... writing. writing, she said that you got a c in that. -it's no big deal, dad. it's just one c. okay. um... on your next report, why, why, why don't you let me help you? -you can e-mail it to me and we can work on it together. okay? e-mail it? are you joking? no. -god. um... can you hold on for a second? okay, max, uh... i've got to go, unfortunately, -i've got a, i've got a patient coming to see me. you don't have patients this late. is it a girlfriend? no, it's not a girlfriend. it's a, it's a patient who left something behind. -i'd tell you if i had a girlfriend. no, you wouldn't. i've got to go now, max, okay? i'll, i'll, i'll talk to you real soon. okay? -have fun with your girlfriend. hello. i've come to collect the turtle. of course. come on in. -i didn't even know my son had a turtle until this morning. i haven't seen oliver all week, so... well, i'll, i'll, i'll get him for you in a second. he's been, uh, he's been in my kitchen, living the, uh, living the good life. yeah. -oliver's been with luke all week. he's having a good time, or so luke says, so... i figured, why spoil the party? it was nice having my week, i actually... i finished "middlemarch." -i think you're the only one i know who has. does it end well? um... i can't even remember. uh, and plus, i had a three-hour phone call with my sister, which was... actually pretty harrowing. -but at least now i've done my duty, so... well, i, uh, i found, i found this shoe box for... for safe travel. i'm sorry for all the trouble. oh, it's really no trouble at all. um... actually, he was good company. -i was worried about leaving him alone, but, uh... i guess turtles are... pretty self-sufficient. yeah, and i baked you some cookies. i mean, not just for you. i did a lot of baking over the weekend. -oh, that's, that's really sweet of you. yeah, i made too much and... the turtle, it's way above and beyond the call of duty. oh... thank you. -okay. so i'll leave you to your evening. see you wednesday, 4 o'clock. good night. in treatment, s02e13 oliver: -week three so... who wants to go first? how was your week? great. -glad to hear that. and what was... what was great about it, oliver? i stayed at my dad's. oh. all week? -we went to a basketball game, and we sat up close. my feeling is every new york kid should have a chance to go the garden and watch the knicks suffer humiliating defeat. and we watched "the godfather." that's a pretty cool movie. i had never seen it before. -tell paul what you said when we watched it, what you decided you wanted to be when you grow up. i want to be a consingulary. a consigliere. what else did we do? we went to the met and saw "arms and armor" -and bought some posters for his room. did you have any trouble sleeping? he was out like a light the second his head hit the pillow. we were running around the city so much. and did your dad have the right kind of food for you? -we went out to eat every night. guess what i like now? paella. what's not to like about paella? everything good is in paella. -so it was just you and your, and your dad all week. none of your dad's friends came over? well, they came over to watch football. but at halftime, we played wii golf, and i beat everybody. so... it sounds like you had a really good time. -was there any time to do your homework? hey, what's that supposed to mean? just that, if you guys were eating out every night and watching movies and running around the city, when did oliver have time to do his homework? i got it all done. oh, that's not entirely true, is it? -'cause i found out that one of your assignments was to take care of a turtle. did you apologize to paul for making him do that? i'm sorry. it's no problem. anyway, i'm glad you got him back. -i know you were worried about him last week. but you forgot all about him while you were at your dad's. can't you just cut the kid some slack? luke, i'm glad you guys had a good time. i just wanna make sure that homework and school come first for oliver. -i got all of my homework done. did you? i've already told you that. nina came over and helped me finish it all. i'm sorry, who's... who's nina? -um... my girlfriend. so, oliver met your girlfriend this week? this person is staying at your apartment? not staying. -she came over a few times to help oliver with his homework. didn't we clearly agree it was too soon for that? you heard him, right, paul? what's the big deal? the kid had a great week. -you heard him. oliver? how did it feel to spend time with, uh, with nina? it was okay. she only came over two or three times. -she went with us to "arms and armor." it was her idea. why didn't you say anything before? did your dad tell you not to say anything? he didn't want to get you sad. -so now he's telling oliver to keep secrets from me. no, i just wanted to avoid this exact kind of conversation. luke, i wonder if you can see how... upsetting that might be to bess. the way she sees it, um... you've asked oliver to keep a secret from her. but it ended up being a great week. -all went well. i don't see why everybody wants to make this harder than it really is. don't we have enough people going on without bringing some strange woman into the mix? mom, i already knew nina. -how exactly... do you know nina? she was my teacher last year. nina cabot, his homeroom teacher? from last year... when he was in the lower school. -oh! he's on a whole different floor now. oh, that's, that -- really puts my mind at ease. how long have you been dating her? a month. -six weeks. oliver, is there anything that you would, uh, like to say about this? whatever i say, makes everything worse. oliver, tell you what: why don't you and i go into the waiting room and, uh, we just take a few minutes, give your mom and dad some time together? -okay? okay. what do you want? i shouldn't have said anything. i'm glad you told the truth. -i thought if i stayed at my dad's, everybody would be happy. but... they're fighting again. you certainly don't need to apologize for having a good time at your dad's. it wasn't so great. really? -but you... you said, you said in there that you had fun. i did have fun. but the knicks lost. it was still hard for me to fall asleep. really? -my dad checked on me, so i pretended to be asleep. sometimes he sits at my desk and watches me, and i try really hard not to open my eyes. so, so what did it feel like... to have your dad watching you like that? it felt like... he was a soldier... you know, like guarding me. guarding you from, uh, from what? -he wants me to be asleep, except i'm not. so, i didn't wanna tell him that. you mean you didn't wanna worry him, but... with everything that's going on right now... well, i can't sleep at my mom's either. do you pretend to be asleep there as well? -i don't feel comfortable anywhere. i just wish there was someplace i did feel comfortable. makes a lot of sense. did you like spending time with nina? i miss my mom. -i know that you love your mom very much. and - i'm sure that she misses you, too. she called every night. i told her i was fine, but she sounded sad. -did you find it hard not to tell her about, um, about nina? my dad said, if we told her, she would get upset. and she did. do you feel that... you have to keep secrets from your mom and dad, so that they won't get angry or upset? oliver, i know that you want to help them. -but you can't keep them from being angry or sad. i just wish none of this ever happened. i hear you. you know, i spent a lot of time, uh... watching your turtle. i thought... -"how he carries that house on his back wherever he goes". that's why turtles are so slow... always walking around with their houses. anything else you noticed about the turtle? not really. i just got him back this morning. -you spent more time with him than i did. that's true. i did notice one thing. yeah? when my mom met me at school to bring me the turtle, he was in a shoe box. -i thought it was mine, but she said it was yours. and what made you think it was yours? 'cause it was for a kid sneaker. i asked my mom. she said maybe you have a son. -do you? are you wondering what kind of dad i would be? i bet you're a good dad. you sound pretty sure about that. 'cause you listen to me. -so, do you have a son, or you're gonna make me guess? okay, for now, let's say that... that i do ha-have a son. tell me what you think about that. well, i think he doesn't live here. not most of the time. -how come? 'cause i come here right after school. and if he lived here, i'd see him coming home from school, too. so, where do you think he does live? probably with his mom. -and what do you think that's like for him? maybe he's lonely. he probably misses seeing you all the time. anything else? i wanna meet him. -oh. why would you like to meet him? i don't know. just to talk to someone like me. i guess it'd be good to have a friend who's going through the same stuff, yeah? -does he have any brothers or sisters? would that make a difference? it would make it easier. would you like to have a brother or a sister? i was supposed to get one, but... -i'm not thinking he's coming anymore. i don't understand. well, my parents were gonna adopt a baby boy. they were supposed to fly someplace in africa to get him. my mom showed me his pictures. -and, and, and what happened? they just stopped talking about him. and then my dad moved out. so, since then, they haven't spoken to you about the adoption? maybe he's... maybe he's still waiting for my mom and dad to come get him. -maybe if they don't get a divorce, he'll come live with us. i don't know. that's a big thing, uh, not to know, oliver. do i have to go back in there? can't you just talk to them by yourself? -you can stay here. it won't be long. you left the two of us alone in the same room together. you sure like to live dangerously, don't you? well, i didn't want the two of you to continue talking about nina in front of oliver. -you mean, how luke's been fucking oliver's 23-year-old school teacher? things have been all really well in here so far, can't you tell? or how, how you've been using oliver to get laid. i knew oliver liked her, so i, i wanted to talk to her about how things were going for him at school this year. i, i didn't have any big plan. -and she likes him. she helps him with his homework. she's a good person. what's the problem? we had agreed it was too soon for oliver to meet someone you're dating. -and you just overturned that decision, all by yourself. you remember, uh, agreeing to that, luke? what i remember is an ultimatum. so, instead of seating down and discussing this with me -- there's no "discussions" with you. -there's just giving in to keep the peace. oh, so, you just go along with whatever i say to just shut me up, and then you go do whatever you want, no matter how much it's gonna hurt oliver. look, i knew oliver could handle it. and i knew if i had waited for you to sign off, things would never change. so, luke, do you feel that there's no way to discuss things with bess and come to a compromise? -do you, do you feel that she needs to win every argument? that's the way it works, yes. hm-hmm. and bess, you feel that luke pretends to agree with, then he just... does whatever he wants? yeah. -only this time it's worse because he's using oliver to cover for him. you know what? i, i think our job here is to find a way for both of you to be straightforward, with each other, so that oliver feels he doesn't have to hide things from, from either of you. you figure that out, you're worth a million times what we pay you. bess, would you like to join us? -okay, then. i, uh, i'd like to ask you about a question. when i was talking to oliver just now, he told me that, uh, you've been planning to adopt a baby. is that true? he talked about that with you? -well, i was, uh, i was surprised neither of you mentioned it before. that's because it was a terrible idea, right from the beginning. that's not true. he likes to rewrite history here. -the truth is, we've been talking about having another baby for years. she actually thinks that was gonna solve all of our problems. or maybe i wanted to give oliver the chance to be a big brother. you know, we had a really good life, and i wanted to share that with another child. i've wanted to adopt for a very long time. -there are a lot of kids who, who need a good home. and, you know, i didn't feel all the need to go through pregnancy and labor all over again. also, you generally need to be having sex for that to happen. can we go back to the adoption for a moment? would you like to tell me what happened? -i honestly believed that luke wanted this. you know, at least as much as i did. we were fighting all the time, i just wanted to make her happy. well, can you tell me about the adoption process, what that was like for you? for the last two years, -i was the one who did all the work. she'd go crazy on me because i filled up a medical report wrong. i had spent a week on that thing, and then i had to do it all over again. the week before the social worker came for the home visit, she goes nuts! she rehearses with oliver every night, tells him what to say, she, she's terrified that we're gonna be turned down. -but, of course, we passed with flying colors. so, when we got the referral, the baby's medical records, his little photo... i showed it to oliver. we were so excited. i was ready that night to get on a plane to pick up the baby. -and then i gave the folder to luke to look at. i took one look at that kid's face... and i knew what a disaster all this was gonna be. the whole thing was just a band-aid. and then now, we're gonna fly to africa, and have some poor baby dropped in the middle of our unhappiness? no, no, i knew the kid would find a better home. -we were already out 20 grand, but i... figured that's the price you pay. there was no way we were gonna fix this. he comes into our room, throws the folder on the bed and says, "i'm leaving." so, would you say, then, that this adoption was the, uh, the final straw on your marriage? well, he just decided our marriage was over, without even discussing it. -that's because it's impossible to have a discussion with you. if you had said any of what you've just said today, that would at least been something, you know what i mean? so, luke... once again, you felt that bess was... pushing you. -and, and bess, once again you felt like luke deceived you. it seems to me like you've never really been able to figure out how to work through your problems together. would that be right? i would say, that's pretty accurate. and maybe that's the whole reason why we're not married anymore. -see, the thing about it is, that oliver needs you to find a way to make decisions as a team, and he needs you to... he needs you to explain things to him -- clearly. otherwise, he... he fills in the gaps on his own. i mean, for instance, do you realize that he still doesn't know whether or not... he's gonna have a baby brother? oh, no. what? -you never told him? can we, can we bring him in here right now, can we just talk about this together? and do you feel like you can both talk to him about it in a way that will... clear up his confusion? i guess we owe it to him to try, right? okay... okay. -i'll, uh, i'll call him in, then. vo: gillesilb, michvanilly, salomon + hqs edit in a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. his name -merlin. chanting menacingly mistress? is it done? yes, mistress. -the potion is prepared. then camelot and all its riches will soon be mine. she grunts she shrieks camelot. -keep up, merlin. we've got a busy day ahead. it's a busy day every day. you and arthur, you work me to the bone. do stop moaning. -at least the work's interesting. gaius... we're collecting pots. we do the same thing each and every thursday at exactly the same time and nothing interesting ever happens. please. we seek uther pendragon. -where can he be found? i... we have urgent business with the king. i'm sorry but any business you have with the king will have to be pursued through the usual channels. but... this is the seal of the house of tregor. -where did you get this? it does not belong to me. it belongs to me. my lady. merlin. -lady catrina. is it really you? i can hardly believe it myself. we had tidings from the north that the house of tregor had fallen to invaders. all that you heard was true, my lord, and worse. -but your father... the king... gone, sire. the enemy attacked without warning. we were outnumbered five to one. he could not endure. -i would never have survived had it not been for my faithful servant, jonas. but we did survive. and we have made it this far. forgive me, my lord. i fear my trials have taken their toll. -your sufferings are beyond imagining, my lady. it would be an honour to help you in any way we can. a bed for the night would be most welcome. then consider yourselves as our esteemed guests. it is the least that we can do. -thank you. she's very brave. yes. sounds terrible, what she's been through. terrible, indeed. -what's wrong? nothing. merlin! job for you! work, work, work... -i'm sorry it's not quite what you're used to. forgive me but i didn't get your name? merlin. well, merlin, considering we spent last night in a cave, this will do very nicely. thank you. -well, if you need anything, just ask. my master's chambers are only upstairs. my mistress and i could not be more grateful for the kindness you have shown us. you're welcome. coughs and splutters -well, i can't sleep here. this whole place stinks of cleanliness. do not worry, mistress. i will find you somewhere more suitable. gobbles and grunts -well, this is wonderful. thank you. it's an honour. the houses of tregor and pendragon have been allies as long anyone can remember. my father often spoke of you, my lord. -and i will remember him always. i'm sorry i didn't get the chance to meet him. i'm sorry too. for the house of tregor is no more. no, catrina. -it lives on in you. i only wish that were true. it is, my lady, your courage, your modesty and you are as you always were. ever since you were a child. oh, i fear i am much changed since then, my lord. -well, yes, it's true. you are far more beautiful now. fakes a yawn i'm sorry. hard day's training. -if you'll excuse me. of course. arthur. i should retire myself. morgana. -can i get you anything else? you've hardly touched your food. i'm sorry. i find i have little appetite, ever since that day. i wish i had been there for you. -but you are helping me now. your kindness, your companionship. i must also bid you good night, my lord. it's been a long day. of course. -good night, my lady. there's something really different about the lady catrina. oh? most of uther's guests treat me like the dirt on their shoes. but she was really nice, even after all she's been through. -yes, she was always very gracious. you've met her before? it was many years ago. i doubt if she would remember. now, merlin, i have a job for you. -does it ever end? give this to the lady catrina. with my compliments. what is it? she'll know what it is. -but what is it? ok, ok. coughs and wheezes what's that? compliments of the king. -revolting. uther's so stupid. so blinded by pretty things. already he falls for me. i can see it in his eyes. -it is only a matter of time before he is completely under my control. excellent. knock on door jonas, you must take these back to the kitchens. it's perfectly rotten. -i'm sorry, i did not mean to intrude. that's quite all right. at least i wasn't undressing. the court physician asked me to give you this. what is it? -gaius prepared it for you. i'm terribly sorry. there must be some mistake. i requested no medicine. oh. -oh. are you sure? quite sure, thank you. i am in perfect health. she didn't ask for it, she didn't need it, she didn't even want it. -interesting. if you say so. when i treated her as a child it was for an incurable disease. catrina had a rare bone disorder afflicting her joints. she often had difficulty walking, especially after a long ride. -my tonic was the only thing that brought her relief. she walks as well as you or i. so i noticed. so, the tonic was some kind of test? indeed. -and i'm starting to wonder if the lady catrina is really the lady catrina at all. what a charming idea this is, uther. yes, a ride before breakfast always gives me a healthy appetite. i've had the kitchens prepare us something special. oh, how sweet of you. -he coughs can i help you? no, i, i... i was just changing the sheets. please, go ahead. -don't let me get in your way. all done, thank you. merlin? aren't you forgetting something? right. -what did you find? something wasn't right in there. there was this strange smell and i could have sworn the lady catrina's bed hadn't been slept in. and there was something else. oh? -jonas. as i was leaving, i thought i saw something. this is going to sound mad, but it looked like jonas had a tail. a tail? are you sure? -well, i mean, i only glimpsed it for a moment. i could be wrong. no, no, i believe you. merlin, we must keep an eye on her. a very close eye. -how wonderful it is to sit here with you, uther. it is a terrible thing to find oneself alone in the world. suddenly, cruelly alone. when ygraine died, i feared i would never recover... ..but then as time passed, -i have become used to being alone. but you have arthur and morgana. surely they are a comfort to you? they are. of course they are. -both of them. it must be hard to be king and father both. to shoulder all that responsibility by yourself. but i feel sure, my lord, that you and i shall not remain alone forever. we will find love anew, a kindred spirit to share the burden of this life. -i believe we will. they giggle honestly. look at them. are you all right? -don't you think it's odd how quickly they've become close. there's nothing odd about that. my father is a wealthy and powerful man. good evening, sire. a very good evening to you, gaius. -you seem in high spirits. i am, i am. the lady catrina has struck a chord with you. catrina is a remarkable woman. that she is, sire. -you may remember i treated her as a child. such courage in the face of her condition. condition? what are you talking about? oh, i thought you knew, sire. -i diagnosed catrina with an incurable bone disease. well, evidently you were wrong. there's nothing the matter with her now. it has been a miraculous recovery, i must say. i'm sorry, gaius, what are you suggesting? -oh, i'm not suggesting anything, sire. it's just, a little strange, that's all. the only strange thing i see is that you won't admit that you were wrong. sire, this is not about me. it's about the lady catrina. -the lady catrina is our honoured guest and you will show her the respect that she deserves. is there something on your mind, my lord? no, it's nothing. speak, my lord. is it true that as a child you suffered from a terrible illness? -who told you that? gaius, the court physician. he said he treated you for it. yes, my lord. what he says is true. -but as you can see, i suffer no more. and for that you must be eternally grateful. after all, gaius thought your condition was incurable, did he not? well, fortunately for us, physicians are often mistaken. even your famous gaius. -it is unusual, though, for such a serious illness to cure itself. almost a miracle. i can neither deny it, nor explain it. but miracles do happen. after all, is it not a miracle that we should find each other again after all this time? -and my good fortune continues. for you are a remarkable man, uther pendragon. you are brave, but compassionate. you are powerful, but modest. most of all... ..you are very, very... ..handsome. -i'm sorry. no, my lord, it is i who must apologise. it's a long time since ygraine, since anyone. i understand completely. there's no hurry. -we have all the time in the world. and that time will come, i assure you. plate clatters sceawere, folgie min bebeod. moaning -merlin! i have no doubt, merlin, that you have prepared a very good explanation for this. yes, no. i, er... apparently i'm wrong. -please tell me you weren't spying on lady catrina. it's not what it seems. yes, merlin, it's exactly what it seems. you've led a sheltered life. you have no social skills whatsoever and catrina is, i admit, an attractive woman. -i understand completely. and if i ever find you doing it again i'll feed you to the dogs, do i make myself clear? yes. absolutely, sire. grunting -coughing she passes wind flies buzz she passes wind violently what you saw is seldom seen, merlin. -trolls despise all other living things, especially humans. they prefer to lurk in the darkness of their nests, feasting on rot and filth. and jonas? is he a troll too? who can tell what manner of creature he is. -it makes no sense. if trolls like to lurk in their caves so much, what's this one doing in camelot? trolls are greedy. and lady catrina is like the rest of her kind. she lusts after wealth and power. -uther's wealth and power. we have reached the point of no return. uther has to be told. you're going to tell uther that his new lady friend's a troll? that's exactly what i'm going to do. -good luck. thank you, merlin. my lord. yes, gaius. i have served you for many years now. -i like to think that in my humble capacity i have advised you to the best of my ability, and that my advice has proven to be of value to you. yes. this is true. and so i must advise you that the lady catrina is not all that she seems to be. oh? -then tell me, gaius. who is she? i believe her to be... she's, she's... oh, come on. -out with it. she is a troll, sire. excuse me? some trolls have the power to take any shape they please. this one has taken a shape that pleases you. -you are besotted, my lord. the creature has you in its power. gaius, this is utterly ludicrous. please, sire. her entire family is wiped out but she alone escapes! -? she has an incurable disease but makes a miraculous recovery! ? and that is nothing but idle gossip. and is it gossip she does not eat her food! -? of course she doesn't. she feasts on rotten fruit like any other troll! enough! this attack is unwarranted and malicious. -sire, her servant is not human, he has a tail. i said enough! sire, please, i just advise you not to do anything rash. and i advise you to hold your tongue, physician, or i will indeed do something rash. did you sleep well last night, mistress? -very well, thank you. we have a problem. oh? last night. you were followed. -who? the boy, merlin. she snarls merlin. shall i dispose of him, mistress? -no. that may arouse suspicion. but it is time that uther bent to my wishes. and if he does not? well, he'll have no choice. -there's more than one way to enchant a man. she sniggers please don't say anything, merlin. i wasn't going to say anything. you were going to say i told you so. -ok, i was. but i'm not going to now. uther didn't take it well. oh, you see, i told you. sorry. -but i know him, merlin. he's a proud man but he's not stupid. he will reflect on what i said. i'm sure he will. let's hope you're right. -sinister chanting dinner time. they cackle isn't this perfect? you and me together. -a toast, to us. i'm not sure everyone sees it that way. well, there will always be those who resist change. that's to be expected. we must be mindful of public opinion. -what are you trying to say, my lord? perhaps if you were to visit your cousins for a while. to show people that we're not rushing into anything. you would let yourself be bullied by some petty-minded fools? but of course, of course, my lord. -if that is what you wish, then that is what i shall do. it is as you said, we have all the time in the world. before i go, my lord, there's something i want to give you. it belonged to my father. and his father before him. -catrina, i couldn't possibly. no, no, no, my lord, i want you to have it. perhaps when you look at it it will remind you of me... ..and the times that we have spent together. i shall wear it always. -that is as well, my lord. for while others doubt me, you must not. you cannot doubt me. for am i not beautiful, my lord? you are beautiful. -am i not your heart's desire? you are my heart's desire. then seal it, my lord. seal it, with a kiss. yes, a kiss. -good morning, mistress. it is indeed, jonas. the king was receptive to your advances? how could he resist such beauty? the enchantment proved effective then. -he is but a puppet in my hands. she gobbles and grunts you called for me, sire? ah, gaius. you will be delighted to hear that none of the worries you brought to my attention have any truth to them whatsoever. -sire? i hope, over time, you will come to see catrina as she really is. over time? i've asked catrina to extend her stay indefinitely. but... -i consider the matter closed, and i hope you show me the courtesy of doing the same. it's no good, merlin. i can tell him she's a troll till i'm blue in the face. he won't listen. he sees only a charming, beautiful woman. -with a body like a tree trunk. but we only know that because you saw her in troll form. so what do we do? we must open uther's eyes. show her for what she really is. -using magic? it's the only way to reveal her true form. but she never leaves his side. i know. you want me to use magic in front of the king? -yes, merlin, i do. i'd never get away with it. i'm sorry, merlin. i know how dangerous this is. but we cannot allow her to gain any further control over the king. -who knows what the consequences might be? just one problem. i know nothing about troll magic. then we have work to do. a beautiful day. -the first of many, i hope. how fine it must be to have all this at your command. it can be a burden sometimes. let me share your burden, my lord. together we could achieve so much. -there is nothing i would like more. and, my lord... would it not be a good idea to send a message to those who doubt us? to show all of camelot the strength of our love, our commitment. yes, what did you have in mind? -i was thinking of something traditional, something permanent. snoring here! the spell of revelation, with which the true nature of a thing may be revealed. but this applies only to objects, things, not living creatures. -i know. but the principle's the same, isn't it? i have to try it. what other choice do we have? very well. -but merlin, choose your moment carefully. trolls are vicious creatures. knock on door come in. the king requests your presence in the council chambers. -thank you all for coming. you are no doubt wondering why i have gathered you here today. though we live in dark times, today i bring you light... and love. it gives me the greatest pleasure to inform you that the houses of tregor and pendragon are to be united in the closest bond of all. i am to marry lady catrina of tregor. -applause i am to marry lady catrina tomorrow. this union heralds a new dawn for the kingdom. a new beginning... he chants hierste thaet cicen sona... ..and a new queen for all here in camelot. -hierste thaet cicen sona... i could not hope to have made a better match. hierste thaet cicen sona... i hope you shall all share in our joy. he gasps -applause thank you. she coughs what happened? i'm sorry, mistress. -i was not prepared. quick. my potion. it was the boy, merlin. it seems he has magic. -do not concern yourself. i resisted him easily enough. but there's no telling what he'll do next. he could ruin everything. that cannot be allowed to happen. -what would you have me do, mistress? i think it's time we set a trap. i'm sorry. i tried. i gave it everything i had. -it's not your fault, merlin. you did your best. the spell of revelation is powerful magic. she could feel it. i could see she could feel it. -her magic must be strong indeed to be able to resist you. where are you going! ? to see arthur, he's our only hope. merlin? -yes? arthur, i'm going to tell you something. it's not going to be easy. right. it concerns the lady catrina. -you're not using my chambers to spy on her again. oh, no. trust me. i saw everything i needed to see. i'm sure you did. -arthur? she's a troll. he laughs she's not that bad. i'm being serious, she is, she's an actual troll. -merlin, i know what you're trying to do and i appreciate it, you're a true friend. but it's not about whether i like her. it's what makes my father happy. and when they announced the wedding today, i realised that lady catrina does just that. she makes him happy. -he won't be so damn happy his wife's a fruit-munching monster! that's enough. but... she's the future queen of camelot, whether you like it or not. so you better get used to it. -sobbing hello? master merlin! i'm sorry. what's wrong with you? -i'm a slave, a prisoner. what are you talking about? my mistress, she is not as she seems. but you know as much. go on. -i'm listening. she is a cruel, wicked creature. she keeps me in chains. she hurts me. her magic. -i can't escape it. she twists my mind, as she is twisting the mind of your king. why are you telling me this? i can help you. how? -below the castle, where she sleeps. she keeps her potions there. every night she must take these potions. it is the magic that transforms her from beast to beauty. if you were to take these from her. -she must remain as a beast and then your king would not be so keen, i think. tell me, jonas. why should i believe any of this? you must do as you think fit, master merlin. but if my mistress is not stopped, by morning she will be queen. -he coughs you won't find anything in there. you may possess some magic, wretch, but you are no match for me. stone shatters merlin? -he groans he heaves and strains ic abietee paet stanhol... ic abietee paet stanhol... ic abietee paet stanhol... -ic abietee paet stanhol... jonas? have i ever looked more revolting? no, mistress. oh, jonas. -you always say the right thing. ic abietee paet stanhol. rumbling they play fanfare ic abietee paet stanhol. -ic abietee paet stanhol! my lords, ladies, and gentleman of camelot we are gathered here today to celebrate, by the ancient rite of handfasting, the union of uther pendragon and lady catrina of tregor. is it your wish, uther, to become one with this woman? it is. is it your wish, catrina, to become one with this man? -it is. do any say nay? master merlin. can i help you? are you lost? -step aside, jonas. the king's wedding is by invitation only. i said get out of my way. i'm so sorry, but i regret to say that you are not invited. with this garland i do tie a knot, and by doing so bind your hands and your hearts for all eternity. -leave my mistress alone. i, uther pendragon, king of camelot. i shall not seek to change thee in any way. i shall respect thee, as i respect myself. ic the withdraf! -i now pronounce you to be husband and wife. queen catrina will be named as rightful heir to the throne. she passes wind so if uther dies she will rule camelot?

what are you talking about? i thought you knew, sire. i diagnosed catrina with an incurable bone disease. {\well, }evidently you were wrong. -there's nothing the matter with her now. it has been a miraculous recovery, i must say. i'm sorry, gaius, what are you suggesting? i'm not suggesting anything, sire. it's just, a little strange, that's all. -the only strange thing i see is that you won't admit that you were wrong. sire, this is not about me. it's about the lady catrina. the lady catrina is our honoured guest and you will show her the respect that she deserves. is there something on your mind, my lord? -it's nothing. speak, my lord. is it true that as a child you suffered from a terrible illness? who told you that? gaius, the court physician. -he said he treated you for it. yes, my lord. what he says is true. but as you can see, i suffer no more. and for that you must be eternally grateful. -after all, gaius thought your condition was incurable, did he not? well, fortunately for us, physicians are often mistaken. even your famous gaius. it is unusual, though, for such a serious illness to cure itself. -almost a miracle. i can neither deny it, nor explain it. but miracles do happen. after all, is it not a miracle that we should find each other again after all this time? and my good fortune continues. -for you are a remarkable man, uther pendragon. you are brave, but compassionate. you are powerful, but modest. most of all... you are very, very... handsome. -i'm sorry. no, my lord, it is i who must apologise. it's a long time since ygraine, since anyone. i understand completely. -there's no hurry. we have all the time in the world. and that time will come. i have no doubt{\, merlin}, that you have prepared a very good explanation for this. apparently i'm wrong. -please tell me you weren't spying on lady catrina. it's not what it seems. yes{\, merlin}, it's exactly what it seems. you've led a sheltered life. you have no social skills whatsoever and catrina is, i admit, an attractive woman. -i understand completely. if i ever find you doing it again i'll feed you to the dogs, do i make myself clear? yes. -absolutely, sire. what you saw is seldom seen{\, merlin}. trolls despise all other living things, especially humans. they prefer to lurk in the darkness of their nests, feasting on rot and filth. and jonas? -is he a troll too? who can tell what{\ manner of} creature he is. it makes no sense. if trolls like to lurk in their caves so much, what's this one doing in camelot? -trolls are greedy. lady catrina is like the rest of her kind. she lusts after wealth and power. uther's wealth and power. we have reached the point of no return. -uther has to be told. you're going to tell uther that his new lady friend's a troll? that's exactly what i'm going to do. good luck. thank you, merlin. -my lord. yes, gaius. i have served you for many years now. i like to think that in my humble capacity, i have advised you to the best of my ability, and that my advice has proven to be of value to you. -this is true. and so i must advise you that the lady catrina is not all that she seems to be. then tell me, gaius. who is she? i believe her to be... -she's... come on. out with it. she is a troll, sire. excuse me? -some trolls have the power to take any shape they please. this one has taken a shape that pleases you. you are besotted, my lord. the creature has you in its power. gaius, this is utterly ludicrous. -please, sire. her entire family is wiped out but she alone escapes! ? she has an incurable disease but makes a miraculous recovery! ? -and that is nothing but idle gossip. is it gossip she does not eat her food! ? of course she doesn't. she feasts on rotten fruit like any other troll! -enough! this attack is unwarranted and malicious. sire, her servant is not human, he has a tail. i said enough! sire, please, -i just advise you not to do anything rash. and i advise you to hold your tongue, physician, or i will indeed do something rash. did you sleep well last night, mistress? very well, thank you. we have a problem. -last night. you were followed. who? the boy, merlin. shall i dispose of him, mistress? -that may arouse suspicion. but it is time that uther bent to my wishes. and if he does not? well, he'll have no choice. there's more than one way to enchant a man. -please, don't say anything. i wasn't going to say anything. you were going to say i told you so. i was. but i'm not going to now. -uther didn't take it well. you see, i told you. sorry. but i know him, merlin. he's a proud man but he's not stupid. -he will reflect on what i said. i'm sure he will. let's hope you're right. dinner time. isn't this perfect? -you and me together. a toast, to us. i'm not sure everyone sees it that way. well, there will always be those who resist change. that's to be expected. -we must be mindful of public opinion. what are you trying to say, my lord? perhaps if you were to visit your cousins for a while. to show people that we're not rushing into anything. you would let yourself be bullied by some petty-minded fools? -but of course, of course, my lord. if that is what you wish, then that is what i shall do. it is as you said, we have all the time in the world. before i go, my lord, there's something i want to give you. it belonged to my father. -and his father before him. catrina, i couldn't possibly. i want you to have it. perhaps when you look at it, it will remind you of me and the times that we have spent together. i shall wear it always. -that is as well. for while others doubt me, you must not. you cannot doubt me. for am i not beautiful, my lord? you are beautiful. -am i not your heart's desire? you are my heart's desire. then seal it, my lord. seal it, with a kiss. a kiss. -good morning, mistress. it is indeed, jonas. the king was receptive to your advances? how could he resist such beauty? the enchantment proved effective then. -he is but a puppet in my hands. you called for me, sire? you will be delighted to hear that none of the worries you brought to my attention have any truth to them whatsoever. sire? i hope, over time, you will come to see catrina as she really is. -over time? i've asked catrina to extend her stay indefinitely. i consider the matter closed, and i hope you show me the courtesy of doing the same. it's no good. i can tell him she's a troll till i'm blue in the face. -he won't listen. he sees only a charming, beautiful woman. with a body like a tree trunk. but we only know that because you saw her in troll form. what do we do? -we must open uther's eyes. show her for what she really is. using magic? the only way to reveal her true form. but she never leaves his side. -i know. you want me to use magic in front of the king? i do. i'd never get away with it. i'm sorry. -i know how dangerous this is. but we cannot allow her to gain any further control over the king. who knows the consequences? just one problem. i know nothing about troll magic. -then we have work to do. a beautiful day. the first of many, i hope. how fine it must be to have all this at your command. can be a burden sometimes. -let me share your burden, my lord. together we could achieve so much. there is nothing i'd like more. would it not be a good idea to send a message to those who doubt us? to show all of camelot the strength of our love, our commitment. -what did you have in mind? i was thinking of something traditional, something permanent. here! the spell of revelation, with which the true nature of a thing may be revealed. but this applies only to objects, things, not living creatures. -i know. principle's the same, isn't it? i have to try it. what other choice do we have? very well. -but choose your moment carefully. trolls are vicious creatures. come in. the king requests you in the council chambers. thank you all for coming. -you are no doubt wondering why i have gathered you here today. though we live in dark times, today i bring you light... and love. it gives me the greatest pleasure to inform you that the houses of tregor and pendragon are to be united in the closest bond of all. i am to marry -lady catrina of tregor. i am to marry lady catrina tomorrow. this union heralds a new dawn for the kingdom. a new beginning and a new queen for all here in camelot. i could not hope to have made a better match. -i hope you shall all share in our joy. thank you. what happened? i'm sorry, mistress. i was not prepared. -quick. my potion. it was the boy, merlin. it seems he has magic. do not concern yourself. -i resisted him easily enough. there's no telling what he'll do next. he could ruin everything. that cannot be allowed to happen. what would you have me do, mistress? -i think it's time we set a trap. i'm sorry. i tried. i gave it everything i had. not your fault. -you did your best. the spell of revelation is powerful magic. i could see she could feel it. her magic must be strong indeed to be able to resist you. where are you going! -? to see arthur, he's our only hope. i'm going to tell you something. it's not going to be easy. right. -it concerns the lady catrina. you're not using my chambers to spy on her again. trust me. i saw everything i needed to see. i'm sure you did. -she's a troll. she's not that bad. i'm serious, she's an actual troll. i know what you're trying to do. i appreciate it, you're a true friend. -but it's not about whether i like her. it's what makes my father happy. and when they announced the wedding, i realised lady catrina does just that. she makes him happy. he won't be so damn happy when he discovers his wife's a{\ fruit-munching} monster! -enough. she's the future queen of camelot, whether you like it or not. so you better get used to it. i'm sorry. what's wrong with you? -i'm a slave, a prisoner. what are you talking about? my mistress, she is not as she seems. but you know as much. go on. -i'm listening. she is a cruel, wicked creature. she keeps me in chains. she hurts me. her magic. -i can't escape it. she twists my mind, as she is twisting your king's. why are you telling me this? i can help you. how? -below the castle, where she sleeps. she keeps her potions there. every night she must take these potions. it is the magic that transforms her from beast to beauty. if you were to take these from her. -she must remain as a beast and then your king would not be so keen, i think. tell me, jonas. why should i believe any of this? you must do as you think fit. but if my mistress is not stopped, by morning, -she will be queen. you won't find anything in there. you may possess some magic, wretch, but you are no match for me. have i ever looked more revolting? no, mistress. -you always say the right thing. my lords, ladies, and gentleman of camelot, we are gathered here today to celebrate, by the ancient rite of handfasting, the union of uther pendragon and lady catrina of tregor. is it your wish, uther, to become one with this woman? it is. -is it your wish, catrina, to become one with this man? it is. do any say nay? can i help you? are you lost? -step aside, jonas. the king's wedding is by invitation only. i said get out of my way. i'm so sorry, but i regret to say that you are not invited. with this garland i do tie a knot, and by doing so, bind your hands and your hearts for all eternity. -leave my mistress alone. i, uther pendragon, king of camelot. i shall not seek to change thee in any way. i shall respect thee, as i respect myself. i now pronounce you to be -husband and wife. {\pos(192,240)}queen catrina will be named as rightful heir to the throne. if uther dies, she will rule camelot? shut up and give me the crown. my plan to undermine arthur is underway. -if she can't be stopped arthur won't become king. albion will never be born. it's eight o'clock in the morning in seoul, korea and i'm between crowds at the first and second services in the yoido full gospel church. this is protestantism at the beginning of the 21st century. in the fifth part of my history of christianity, i'm tracing the growth of an exuberant expression of faith that has spread across the globe. -amen. evangelical protestantism. today, it is associated with full-blooded emotion and, by some, with conservative politics. but the whole story is not what you might expect. in my previous programme, i showed how the protestant faith broke away from medieval catholicism to build a protestant homeland in europe. -now i'll follow the events that led it to burst its boundaries. america, africa, even asia. protestantism was born out of a religious revolution in the 16th century - the reformation. for a hundred years it made great strides across europe with an explosion of new protestant churches - lutherans, calvinists, anabaptists, anglicans. -the response of the catholic church culminated in the thirty years war. that left protestantism severely bruised. and by the end of the 17th century, it was largely confined to northern europe. it looked as though the reformation had been stopped in its tracks. and yet from 1700 the story of protestantism has been one of relentless expansion. -so what happened? what's the power of protestantism that's made it circle the world? this is herrnhut on the far eastern border of germany. the protestant explosion might never have happened without a small group of christians who settled here in 1722. and these are their gravestones, the moravian brethren. -they had been persecuted by catholics in their homeland - the modern day czech republic. so they fled 255 miles west to safe protestant saxony. once here a lutheran nobleman, count zinzendorf, headstrong, charismatic, rich, offered them his land and leadership for a new community. zinzendorf loved his lutheran roots but he was seeking something more. what made his new moravian community stand out from other protestants was its intensely personal, emotional relationship with god. -it was a re-discovery of the historical heart of the christian faith - eternal salvation through a personal experience of jesus christ. there is still a strong moravian community here. i joined them on one of their big days - the advent service. in their new home, the moravians worshipped several times a day, every day. and they sang, sometimes for days on end. -the protestant reformation had certainly told human beings that they stood alone before god's judgement. but the moravians were saying they could stand in a direct emotional relationship with god. less of the head, more of the heart. it was an idea that would revolutionise protestantism. and there was another innovation of the moravians which breathed new life into protestantism. -in germany today, they're famous for their christmas stars. but in the 18th century, they pioneered something far more significant. christianity had always been a missionary faith but that job was normally carried out by professional clergy. ordinary moravians took the unprecedented step of conducting missionary work themselves. and they weren't just interested in taking the message out to europe. -in fact the very first moravian missionary headed straight for the new world. i looked through the moravian archives with its director, dr rudiger kroger. we have here the diary of the first missionary, leonard dober, who went to st thomas in 1732. in the west indies? it's in the west indies in the caribbean, yes. -for example we have in this diary an entry from early january 1733 that reads he went to the plantation to establish his profession as a potter but the work was not very successful because of the bad condition of the clay. but they were using the time to speak to the slaves. that is what the moravians were looking for, a possibility to talk with the people about their religious feelings. i think it's extraordinary that this humble, working man crosses the seas to share his faith with other humble, working people. what is it about the moravians which impels them to do this? -the moravians have the duty for everyone to talk about the faith, to talk about the gospel and to help people learning, being free to practise their faith. and you don't need being a pastor, it's a new way of seeing... living together in christianity. the moravian archives are bursting with stories like leonard dober's. immortalised in paintings, these pioneering missionaries spread the good news of christianity as far as africa and greenland. it's why they are called evangelical from the greek word "evangelion" -meaning "good news." evangelical christianity was on the march. but it wasn't quite the finished product. that would happen in england. the moravians had the gift of turning people's emotions into faith. -they helped change the life of one young englishman - an anglican priest who then seized the future of protestantism. his name was john wesley. bristol in the west of england is one of the founding centres of a denomination which helped turn the moravian dream into reality - methodism. its founder, john wesley, started out as an anglican clergyman but one who appreciated the intense richness of catholicism. wesley met the moravians in 1735 on board ship. -he'd set sail from england with his brother charles to take up a new job in america. the brothers were already out of step with the established church of england because they were high churchmen who emphasised the catholic side of anglicanism. at university in oxford they had been one of a group of students who formed a holy club which brought a sort of counter-reformation catholic intensity to low-temperature english protestantism - they fasted, they went to communion as often as possible, they worked to help the poor. it was a very methodical way of trying to achieve holiness and early on someone, without apparently any friendly intent, called them methodists. -the methodists were not yet a new denomination. but the wesley's chance meeting with the moravians would take them a step closer, especially as the brothers were heading for personal crisis in america. they fell out with local colonists. john had a disastrous love affair. they sailed home defeated and depressed. -but back in england they kept in touch with the moravians. one night in 1738 in london, john attended anglican evensong and then a moravian prayer meeting. it was a powerful combination that would change both him and protestantism. something new happened to john wesley that night. in a phrase now famous, he felt his heart strangely warmed. -while the solemn music of evensong was still ringing in his memory, he listened to martin luther's restatement of paul's message to the romans. "we're saved by faith alone." the reformation came alive for him. a new fire, a new urgency came in his religion and it burst through the hymns of the moravians to create a new message for his generation. for both wesley brothers what mattered in their faith now was a direct relationship with god. they wanted to spread this message of salvation just as the moravians had done. -but the wesleys also brought a new element to protestantism that helped it reach out to millions more around the world. they saw that society was being transformed around them and they hurried to bring frightened and bewildered folk the gospel good news in the middle of huge social change. in the 18th century industrialisation displaced millions from the countryside to new population centres such as the modern day outskirts of bristol. but the church of england had no buildings here. for a rather prissy parson, john wesley found a surprising solution. -an old friend from oxford, george whitefield, had taken to preaching in the open air. john decided to give it a go at hanham mount, then close to a large mining community. according to local methodist colin cradock it was a risky choice of venue. cock road which is close by here was a notorious area for lawlessness and so on and then there were the miners themselves, who in 18th century society they must have been the real lowest of the artisans, i imagine. so the sort of place your mother tells you not to go? -well, it was, definitely, i don't think anybody of any respectability would come out here and for wesley to do it was just absolutely astounding. and the effect he had on people? he had a dramatic effect on them. the miners wept - these black sooty faces had white lines down them. amazing. -for the first time, someone cared enough to come looking for the miners, to save their souls. it's often forgotten that a concern for social justice is part of the original dna of evangelical christianity. the methodists went on to build their own chapels that were quite separate from the church of england. this was their first john wesley's own headquarters in bristol, his 'new room'. -and it wasn't just the words of john wesley that moved people. it was also the magnificent hymns of his brother charles. strange. it's so cool and classical and ordered. yet in 1739 it would have been deafening in services here with shouts of joy and repentance, and the roar of charles's new hymns about christ's blood and sacrificial death. -# this is my desire... # maybe that initial intensity has cooled for many methodists today. # ..to honour you... # but you can still get a glimpse of the fervour of those early meetings all over the modern evangelical world. # lord, i give you my heart, i give you my soul -# i live for you alone every breath that i take # every moment i'm awake... # by 1800, around half a million people in britain attended methodist worship - that's over 5% of the population, grown from nothing, in 60 years. song ends, cheering heartfelt protestant religion was hugely popular in wales and spread among scottish and irish presbyterians too. -it was an evangelical revival. the evangelical message reached all levels of society. like the moravians in germany the evangelicals discovered an intensely personal reformation. they reached into their bibles to meet christ, but they also reached into the depths of their own souls to make that meeting complete. and they hungered to get others to do the same. -up till now the catholic church had set the pace for western christian missionary work. but that was about to change with a religious revival across the atlantic. in the new world, protestantism would triumph. in america, there's a bewildering range of protestant denominations - baptist, presbyterian, methodist, unitarian, episcopalian, 7th day adventist, you name it. -does that mean protestants constantly flounce off and start something new? well, they do, but that's also really the key to the exuberance of american religion. the first shoots of american diversity lie in an outburst of heartfelt religion in new england in the 1730s. at the start of the revival was a brilliant scholar, a congregational minister in northampton, massachusetts. his name was jonathan edwards. -edwards insisted that we must worship god with the whole person, mind and emotion. and from the greatest philosopher to the smallest child we must love god in simplicity. he once said in a sermon, "if ever you arrive at heaven, "faith and love must be the wings which must carry you there". it was edwards's congregation which first experienced revival in america. -but there was more to come - the rousing spirit which europe was now experiencing. it was brought by an evangelical englishman edwards invited to address his congregation. george whitefield - the same man who inspired john wesley to preach outdoors. he's buried in the old south church in newburyport. and that's where i met an american church historian who believes that edwards got more than he bargained for. -while edwards welcomed the message he didn't really like whitefield's manner of delivery. whitefield of course brought this new style of preaching that was dramatic, it was extemporaneous, that is he didn't use any manuscripts. he would rely on inspiration moving back and forth, using gesture, enacting scenes from the bible. it's said that people would faint when he pronounced the word mesopotamia. it sounds to me as though whitefield would be a welcome visitor for edwards but not necessarily a welcome colleague. -tell me about it. after whitefield leaves his congregation is a wreck. so edwards tries to separate the physical from the spiritual. and he says to his congregation what were you more impressed by, were you more impressed by the eloquence of the preacher and what was more lasting for you? was it the message of the new birth and did it have any difference in your heart? -the reality is that the revival unfolding in new england needed a bit of what both men had to offer. the intellect and considered argument of edwards balanced the crowds' emotional response to whitefield's challenges. well, this is the grave of george whitefield. it actually feels remarkably like the shrine of a catholic saint until you realise that he is actually sharing the basement of this church with the church heating system. he was an extraordinary preacher. -in the open air his voice could carry so that ten thousand or more people could hear him. and he came to this country to a movement which is already springing up in all sorts of churches - the movement we collectively call the 'great awakening'. in the 18th century, emotional preachers like whitefield stirred passions as never before. he demanded that people made choices. protestant churches like the presbyterians and baptists were turned into missionary power houses. -man: thank you joe, all right we're on our way. now a little bit about boston, this was the birthplace of the american revolution - our struggle for freedom from british rule. evangelical protestantism now swept through much of america. here in boston you can always tell you're on land... -and it did so for very special, very american reasons. here we go into the charles river! in the 1760s a group of boston citizens who called themselves the "sons of liberty" began rioting in the streets to protest british rule and british taxes. the spread of evangelicalism was an accidental side effect of the -american revolution, sparked by a famous incident here in boston. in the course of the next few hours we took 342 chests of tea... ..threw it in the harbour. king said we had to pay the tax when it hits the dock, he didn't say anything about when it hits the water. in 1773 the boston tea party launched a series of clashes that led to american independence from britain. -to the consternation of many christians, the founding fathers decided to separate church from state in their new republic's federal constitution. in time, the privileges of established churches in individual states also ended. after centuries as an official religion tied to the state, christianity was cut free. all the gains of evangelical protestantism might seem to have been at risk. the separation of church and state was an historic moment for the christian faith. -since the 4th century, mainstream western christianity had been an arm of government. now it stood alone. you might think that this would be devastating for churches - in fact it was quite the opposite. the historic decision to separate church and state had a wholly unexpected effect on the future of protestantism. it let people choose. -you can see the results of that decision in the huge number of denominations that still sprout and flourish right across the united states. in exchange for breaking all federal ties with the church, the founding fathers gave americans religious liberty. and that meant the freedom to choose any christianity - no matter how emotional. it unleashed another evangelical revival - a second great awakening, this time on america's western frontier. in 1800, kentucky was in the wild west. -it's not surprising that some of the wilder manifestations of modern evangelical christianity found a home here. an annual gathering marks the events. remember, this was a frontier. all sorts of people were chancing their luck. many of them came from britain. -that was really important for what happened here, because among them were scottish protestants whose people had already moved once, to settle in ulster in ireland. frontier ulster had the same sense of danger, excitement, limitless potential, as the wild west frontier in hollywood movies. it was actually in ulster that protestants first gathered in huge numbers for open-air holy communion services. and when they came to north america they brought that memory with them. it was on this new frontier that the idea of open-air revival gained a new lease of life. -this particular communion there was a service late in the weekend and during this sermon one woman spoke out, cried out, seeking assurance of her salvation, which of course that disrupted the service. and at the end of the sermon the organising ministers left the church but the congregation stayed inside, they seemed to be waiting, if you will, for what god was going to do next. this must have been quite troubling for the ministers? oh, absolutely. i've read that they held a small conference outside the building to decide what they should do and their decision was, and i think a very wise one, is they would not interrupt what was happening inside. -i believe they may have gone back in and joined and that's when they saw god's spirit fall. people were falling out - slain in the spirit would be a term that we would call it in modern times. it sounds as if people are trying to find ways of expressing what they feel beyond what they can normally do in church? oh, absolutely. you had the running exercise where people would be so enthralled with what they felt god doing in them that they would literally run, i don't know circles, run around the camp. -i'm not sure. but then you had the barking exercise, you had a laughing exercise, when the power of god comes upon you, it has to come out in some way or you feel like you may burst. god so loved the world, yea the ungodly world which had no... praise the lord! praise the lord! -hallelujah! various voices whoop and chant the emotion raced across the new republic. the white-hot religion of the second great awakening lasted almost 50 years. and it helped create something new. -congregations that up until now had remained offshoots of european churches had fresh choices - you might almost say, consumer choices. christianity was marketed with all the flair and swashbuckling enterprise that the united states showed in its commerce and industry. frontier protestantism had become not only 'popular' but distinctly 'american'. the energy of the revivals led to new identities for christianity. from 7th day adventists, and millerites, to mormons, the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, they saw america at the centre of god's purposes. -it's easy to stress the emotional side of american evangelicalism. but we need to remember that many of them were also socially radical. like methodists, american evangelicals offered marginal groups fresh hope. # this little light of mine # i'm going to let it shine -# oh, this little light of mine # i'm going to let it shine # this little heart of mine... # the message entranced african americans, most of whom were still enslaved. evangelicalism offers a choice, to turn to jesus. -these people had never had a choice in their whole lives. they went on to found their own churches. belle mead plantation near nashville couldn't have functioned without slaves. on its gracious lawns, i talked about the importance of evangelical revival for african americans with scholar denis dickerson. in these camp meeting venues, persons high and low, black and white, rich and poor were invited to hear the gospel and many of the scriptures that were preached obviously were heard by african americans as ensuring their equality. -"for all have sinned and come short of the glory of god." "god hath made of one blood all people to dwell upon the earth." but many slave owners were evangelical protestants and many evangelical protestants justified slavery in reference to the bible. were they just being stupid and selfish? the slaves knew that the bible had competing themes. -those who wanted to justify slavery often had to appeal to those many, many instances in the scriptures, particularly in the old testament, sometimes in the new testament, that there was hierarchy, there were servants, there were slaves, that seemingly were sanctioned by religious authorities. the slaves themselves however developed their own interpretation. they could easily cite that same god who had liberated the hebrews and had brought them through an exodus experience would also do the same for them in the united states. there was another important and unexpected reason why bible-believing african americans accepted the religion of their oppressors. some white evangelicals came to see slavery as evil and anti-christian and they campaigned alongside the enslaved for abolition. -in our present age, it's worth remembering that together evangelical christians once led this great rebellion against the common understanding of the bible, overturning the moral assumptions of their time. by the mid-19th century, the most dynamic and expansionist society in the world was a protestant great power, the united states. i think that we should forget old cliches about a protestant work ethic, contrasting somehow with catholicism. we're looking here at a huge historical coincidence. circumstances converged to make the world's leading industrial nation protestant. -and so its brand of protestant culture also became a world-conquering force. even non-christian japanese hurried to copy american capitalism. in fact you could say mission had been thrust upon protestants now by a dramatic turn of events in the heartland of catholicism in europe. from 1789, the french revolution signalled the end of the old world. the french monarchy collapsed, the roman catholic church was tottering - surely these were the signs of the end of the world. -now was the time for protestants to proclaim the truth before it was too late. so, just at the moment when catholic missions were faltering, protestants set out to conquer the world. africa was not only a long way from the protestant heartlands of america and europe. it was also culturally very distant. counter-reformation catholicism had tried and failed to make serious in-roads here. -and on the west african coast the reason is still plain to see. this is one of the many forts where captured africans were held before being shipped to the new world as slaves. not surprising then that few west africans listened to any talk of christianity from europeans. for three-and-a-half centuries the slave trade had poisoned relations between europe and africa. now the campaign for its abolition proved vital for the success of african protestantism. -this is the anglican cathedral, in the ghanaian capital, accra. christianity here descends from africans who, freed from slavery, returned to africa. they were mostly fervent evangelicals, impatient to help their fellow africans choose salvation. and this gave a new idea to the british anglican church missionary society, the cms - self-governing churches overseas. -the society began looking to these new west african settlements for local leadership. and they found one outstanding candidate. a young man who'd been rescued from slavers and who'd settled in sierra leone. his name was ajayi but he took two english names, in fact the names of a committee member of the cms, samuel crowther. so samuel ajayi crowther, came to england, trained for the ministry and was ordained an anglican priest. -i wanted to give god a mighty clap offering. again, a mighty clap offering! crowther set about sowing the seeds of african anglicanism, with a distinctly evangelical flavour. he saw that to succeed, protestantism would have to adapt to african culture. he translated the bible into his native yoruba language. -and was successful enough to be given the post of bishop of western africa. but crowther's initiatives were ahead of the times, and his impact was limited. he wanted authority over both black and white missionaries in west africa but his english white superiors had a problem. kwabena asamoah-gyadu, a ghanaian church historian, told me what it was. as a boy i collected stamps and i have vivid memories of the stamp commemorating -bishop crowther and i saw it as a great success story that there should be a bishop from west africa. but was it such a success story? yes, and no. for an african with a slave past to rise to the level that crowther did, was by itself an achievement but he was betrayed because they wanted to put an african at the forefront of the missionary work but i think when it came to the point when they then had to hand the destiny of the church into african hands, then they had a problem. -so they wanted their cake and eat it? you may well put it that way. white european missionaries did try to evangelise this vast continent. the most famous attempt was that of david livingstone in southern and central africa. but his was actually an heroic failure. -he made only one recorded convert, who later fell out with him and formed his own church. this was the same lesson that crowther had taught the church. christianity could take root in africa but only if it was led by african missionaries. and eventually, it was. what was happening quietly through the 19th century was that africans themselves were doing mission in ways that europeans hardly noticed. -so young men would travel, they'd go to services in new places, they'd learn new hymns and they'd bring them home. market women would sell christianity using their sales skills. teachers would be taught by the missionaries and when the missionaries moved on they'd go on teaching. they'd be able to tell africa about christianity in african terms. at the start of the 20th century, perhaps 10% of africans were christian. -today, it may be half the continent. astonishing. how has it happened? one curious catalyst was the outbreak of world war i in 1914. many european missionaries left. -and the ghastliness of the war didn't say much for the christianity of europe. two good reasons for africans to take control. one of the greatest pioneering african missionaries was william wade harris. he was a political activist in prison here in west africa, when in 1913 he had a revelation that he had been chosen as a prophet. once released, he set out to convert africans to christianity. -you have to picture harris striding through the villages of the ivory coast and here in ghana. he's dressed in a simple white robe, he's carrying a six-foot cross and holding a gourd of water. with him are his team of two or three women, who are singing, playing the calabash to bring out the spirits of the guardian angels and the holy spirit. while harris is exhorting people to give up traditional religion. but his converts didn't want to join the established european churches because their services just didn't celebrate god in the way africans wanted. -worse still, european-run churches condemned african practices like polygamy. so harris' followers chose to form their own network of churches. the church of the twelve apostles is one descendant. this is a friday service for healing. the congregation is mainly made up of women market traders. -they've taken the day off, leaving the men to work on while they worship. women chant this seems a million miles from the churches i know back in oxford. but that's the great strength of christianity, its ability to adapt and assimilate. behind this very african experience i can see features which all communities value. -in western europe all these things that we've got here are elsewhere, they're on the dance floor in a nightclub, they're in a football stadium, they're in the therapy room. here it's all brought together into one. you're worshipping god within a very tight system. it looks spontaneous but of course it isn't. it's got it's own rules, it builds up, it dies back, there are people to help you find your way through it, they push you even into it. -and it's about healing. all around you, the power of god is pushing out of a community which is dressed up to be like you, to be with you in your time of trouble. in your everyday boredoms, your frustrations, you bring them here, you dump them and you dance on them. you know, in africa or in ghana we believe that every sickness it's caused by, it's a curse, or it's caused by the devil. so we believe that once the problem is spiritual it should be solved spiritually. -and when the music happens that's part of the healing? the music invokes the spirit, the holy spirit to come upon the leaders, the healers, and when the music is going on some are even healed. when the music is going on and we hear people shouting they are getting healed, though they are not touched, but they are getting healed by the music. and that is why people come to us, we are always the last to be approached, the last to be approached and the first to solve the problems. local leaders across the continent led a quite breathtaking growth in this new african christianity. -from the nine million christians in africa in 1900, there are now more than 380 million. and half of those are protestant. it marks the biggest ever shift in the centre of gravity of christianity. 2,000 years ago, it was in jerusalem, later constantinople, by 1600 it had shifted to spain. today, the midpoint of christianity is saharan africa. -there are as many christians to the south and east of timbuktu as there are to the north and west. the key to protestant expansion has been the willingness to change. this direct, heartfelt encounter with god started with the moravians. it was boosted by methodism and evangelical revival. the message swept across america in the great awakenings. -and it spread across africa. and with each new setting came new protestant churches. by the 20th century, they even challenged the historic ascendancy of roman catholicism in latin america. it's taken the number of christian denominations worldwide to more than 30,000. but now it's expanding even further and it may be that protestantism is moving too far away from the teachings of jesus. -today, south korea is a prosperous nation with a thriving economy. it's hard to imagine that only 60 years ago this was a traumatised and impoverished country reeling from the effects of japanese occupation. throughout the japanese occupation the churches were prominent in the struggle for freedom. it meant that christianity was identified with national suffering and national pride. after liberation it became involved in another struggle, rebuilding a shattered korea. -here, it produced one of the most dramatic success stories in modern christian history, korean pentecostalism. the yoido full gospel church started with five koreans meeting in a tent. now it has over three quarters of a million members worldwide. the hymns might be in korean but the tunes are straight out of the evangelical revivals. -in fact, pentecostalism has built on a 19th century american tradition. it was called the holiness movement. it harked back to the revivals of wesley's methodism. at its heart is the emotional side of faith, the direct, personal choice for god. what's new is that pentecostals have found god in a way with little precedent in christian history. -they've met the holy spirit, who's often seemed the cinderella of the trinity. the bible says that 50 days after the death of jesus the holy spirit descended upon the apostles at the jewish feast of pentecost. it was a life-changing experience. the disciples are said to have spoken in tongues, an unknown but sacred language which all present could understand. they were filled with such energy, they chose to spread the message of jesus to the world. -pentecostals believe present-day christians can also receive those "gifts of the spirit". and that's what you're seeing here today. but there's another aspect to the success of korean pentecostalism which is far more controversial. it's the promise of good fortune and prosperity for believers. that's been christened, by those who mistrust it, the "prosperity gospel". -it came out of the inter-war years in america. capitalism in the service of jesus. american consumer choice for god. in the past, protestantism offered hope of eternal salvation regardless of problems in the here and now. in korea, that assurance has become more immediate. -you no longer need to wait for the hereafter to reap the benefits of the christian faith. is this one adaptation too far? that's certainly what i heard from a korean presbyterian theologian, professor sang keun kim. it is simple. if you go to church and give offering, you will be blessed. -your economic success is guaranteed. so this really is prosperity? that's right. can you see problems in the bible with this message? yes. -it is very hard to a rich man...to get into heaven. you know, from that passage, i think, sooner or later you are not able to see any koreans in heaven! because prosperity gospel had a positive contribution during the 1970s and '80s. it provided a new sort of hope. but nowadays ordinary koreans or society think that korean protestants are a little bit selfish to ask more offerings, bigger churches, bigger buildings. -people think that that is not the basic tenet of the religion. the yoido style of pentecostalism has all the glitz of a hollywood musical from the 1950s. i was intrigued to meet the man behind the phenomenon. pastor david yonggi cho is now retired but i asked him about his memories of those early years when he first began spreading the gospel message in korea. when i went to preach gospel to the poor people their suffering was enormous and many of them said we don't need any religion. -if you have such a wonderful heaven, why don't you give up part of a heaven right now here, we need a real god who helps us. so i really prayed to god and i found out that in the redemption of jesus christ i could find a redemption of spirit, life and physical body. jesus christ was crucified on the cross redeeming us from sin, sickness and curse. so i called that triple gospel of jesus christ and i began to really build up hope in the heart of people, that it is not just religion beyond the death, but a religion now, here, and that really moved the heart of the people to come to the pentecostal church. does this mean that salvation will always lead to worldly success and wealth? -when they are saying that they stop smoking, they stopped drinking, they began to save money, they stopped gambling, they don't waste their money, naturally by doing that kind of life they are becoming wealthy. the yoido congregation is one of the most spectacular faces of evangelical protestantism in the 21st century. so it was interesting that i heard quite a sober tone in pastor cho's reflections on his lifetime of success. but not actually a rejection of the link between worldly success and salvation. korean pentecostals are doing what christians have always done, reflect on a host of voices within the bible and make their own choices. -is it fair to accuse them of throwing away core values? on the question of wealth they'd be entitled to point out that the new testament is ambiguous. do you reject riches or work hard and use them well? jesus and the apostle paul give you different answers and pentecostals may well be a pointer to the christian future. at the moment, they look and sound like evangelical protestants, but i wonder if that's where they'll stay. -this is a religion blown by the holy spirit, and you never know where that will end up. the spirit doesn't hide in the pages of a book, even when the book is the bible. protestantism has come a long way since the first moravian missionaries were inspired to go out into the world and tell others about their faith. protestantism succeeded because it gave a new identity to people facing new situations. in the process it changed as much as its converts. -but a strange thing's happened. the protestant faith now faces its greatest challenge ever, not from some distant culture but from the protestant homeland, europe. today, the mood in europe seems full of religious indifference. not even hostility, just indifference. in my final episode i want to examine what this will mean for the christian faith. -why does christianity, of all major world religions, question itself in the peculiar fashion of western europe? should god be worried? why not take part in the open university's online survey, "what does it mean to be a christian today?" at... -and follow the links. subtitles by red bee media itd e-mail subtitling@bbc.co.uk blow your gasket open the door,please. -come on,open up. come on,man,please! open the door! you seen the incredible hulk? this dude was this big,man. -and he comes out like that, but he was all red. and he comes out,and he gets in his car... three detectives for one homicide? callout was for an officer down. usually brings in more help than we need. -don't believe they're ivpd. he was kicking this door in,and he was pounding... david? um,there's not much room in there. i'm more than happy to wait. -catherine, this man's arm is gone. no,it isn't. tissue is ragged. it's not dismembered, it's disarticulated. takes an awful lot of rage to tear a man's arm off. -or an awful lot of pcp. try not to get too far ahead of the evidence. department of justice. actually,he's fbi. meet agent william ray hatford. -so those suits you were talking to... yeah,they're all in from d.c.on a case. they stopped here to get gas, agent hatford came in to take a leak,never came out. they found him like this. they notified their field office, and then they called us. -they acknowledged our jurisdiction. that's refreshing. yeah whoever did this took his gun, his badge and his wallet. i mean,this doesn't feel like a simple robbery. he's supposed to get ahead of the evidence. -so i'm gonna take the agents down to the station, get their statements. they're kind of shook up. feds are human,too,i guess. ray,i know you're not doing what it looks like you're doing, so what are you doing? this man lost more than an arm. -the stoner outside said a big red hulk did this. maybe he was right. csi season09 episode12 disarmed and dangerous i don't think this hunk of flesh came from him. maybe it came from the killer. -there are no defensive wounds on the victim's body suggesting a sign of struggle. maybe it came from another victim. witness on the scene didn't mention anyone else. another argument for dna. all right,i'll call pd and have them check all the hospitals. -i'll get his prints. actually,would you mind if i did that? not at all. no record image um,is-is there a problem? -actually,there is a problem. there's no ridge detail on any of his fingertips. see? this looks surgical. maybe microdermabrasion. -what kind of fbi agent doesn't have fingerprints? agent hatford had been working undercover for several years. his fingerprints were removed as a security measure. see,these days,the bad guys can run prints,too. they've seendonnie brasco. -they know how we work. well,i presume the bureau requires a confirmed id. that's the procedure. since we don't have fingerprints, we'll have to run dna. i'll get an str profile to quantico for verification as soon as possible. -fine. where are you on a suspect? oh,well,right now all we have is the eyewitness report of a guy who looked like the incredible red hulk. but csi's got some surveillance video from the gas station, and they're analyzing it now. is it possible that this case is somehow connected to the case you're working on? -of course it's possible. we work with scumbags every day. like who? if i had a name, i wouldn't be standing here. agent stanley, would you give us a moment alone? -please? how long have you two been working together? it feels like forever. all of our active files are at our command post. i can assure you,captain, you will have the full cooperation of the fbi. -great. all right, that is agent hatford making his last trip to the can. and that is a class two misdemeanor. well,the fbi does not concern itself with state fire codes,greggo. okay... almost there... -now. take a look at the mirror. looks like a vintage muscle car. and that face... it's a bloody mess. -yeah,you should've seen the bathroom. i'll have brass put out a broadcast. investigation's been focused on human trafficking. underage women in the vegas sex trade, smuggled in from south america, brazil,primarily. yeah,there's been a little chatter about that on the streets. -but,uh, nothing really concrete. they've only been operating for a few months. low key,select clientele, contacted directly by email only. agent hatford was on source-targeting and recruitment. he did most of our field interviews. -hookers,pimps, mid-level scumbags. we're just starting to put the network together. who'd you piss off to pull this duty? this is important work. we requested this. -homeland security gets lion's share of the bureau's resources these days. what do you think,we just run around and chase terrorists, spy on americans, and investigate paranormal activity, is that it? sorry. no offense intended. i hope your taxes are in order. -i think you just bought yourself an audit. our case files and suspect interviews. anybody in there with the physical strength to do what was done to agent hatford? i doubt it. did agent hatford wear a wire? -sometimes. i don't know if those tapes were transcribed yet. we haven't been able to id the head of the operation. he's referred to on the street as "os punho," which is portuguese for "the fist." anybody look familiar? -i don't know. gradual application of dry heat is generally the best way to bring a muscle out of rigor. and the man can cook. the question is,what are we having for dinner? this muscle has two heads and a shared,single point of insertion. -judging from size and weight, uh,we can rule out biceps femoris. biceps brachii,then. the tissue is clearly infected. in fact, it looks necrotic. what do you make of these,uh, linear streaks? -well,i think they're hemorrhage lines. i bet this guy was shooting steroids. with a dirty needle? that seems pretty stupid, even for somebody stupid enough to kill an fbi agent. i guess he neglected to swab his skin. -contaminants could've been pushed in with the injection. the muscle looks like it fell right off the bone. like a piece of well-cooked chicken. you know,i found some pieces of mirror glass inside the muscle. maybe this guy was in so much pain that he had to rip it out right then and there. -you listening to me,vinnie? i asked you a question. what are you doing on hill street? agent hatford taped this interview the night before he was killed. i guess those muscles make you deafanddumb,huh? -the suspect at the gas station was heavily muscled. which is why i figured this could be the guy. oh,don't eyeball me like that, vinnie. i am the f-b-friggin'- i, are you feelin' me? now put your hands on the hood. -we know about all those little sweet ass brazilian hos you be running. and we don't like it. but you know who bothers us more? that armpit you work for. that sewer rat. -where is he? how would i know? i don't work for no one. "os punho." you don't know who i'm talking about? "the fist"? -you tellin' me you know nothin' about "the fist"? how would you like a fist up your... unfortunately, vinnie was only referred to as "vinnie." no last name. and agent hatford never had a chance to write up a full report. -tox on your orphaned biceps. nandrolone decanoate, methenolone enanthate, oxymetholone, and hcg. that's quite a cocktail. maybe this "vinnie" is a bodybuilder. it could be.this specific mix was very popular with the local weight - lifting community a while back. -the velcore lab was supplying it to all sorts of athletes. before we shut them down. you know,there is someone who's very familiar with this case. and he's real easy to get to. he's a murder suspect, he's using your juice. -his name is vinnie. if you know his last name, we'd appreciate the information. let me get this straight. you guys bust my company for selling roids, give everybody else a chance to plead out for easy time so the d.a.can make an example out of me, because i'm-- me personally-- i'm corrupting the very fabric of american sports. -you ruin my life. and now you want me to help you? that pretty much sums it up, yeah. screw you. yeah,i figured you'd have an adverse reaction to that. -i've only got 22 days left of a 16-month rap, which means there is nothing you can do for me or to me. yeah,that's why i decided to bring in an associate. agent bechman,would you come in here,please? you work much with federal agents? actually,this is my first time. -i'm a csi-1. were you held back? career change. i was a physician. and screw you, too,fed. -i... would prefer to just educate you. for instance, did you know that many people convicted of drug offenses continue to engage in some form of drug trade while in prison. now,united states v.delgadoheld that if you so much as speak to someone for the purpose of dealing drugs, even while incarcerated, that's conspiracy to conduct a racketeering enterprise. doesn't matter whether or not you handed out the drugs. your business activities from prison violate the rico statute. -even if i did something like that-- and i am not saying that i did-- i already got busted for it. that is double jeopardy. not according togarrett v. united states. the double jeopardy clause does not bar cumulative punishments for continuing criminal enterprises and underlying predicate offenses. -your man knows the law. that's our miles. if we determine that you do have some information regarding this suspect which you choose not to share, then i can promise that the full weight of the department of justice and rico section 1963 will be brought to bear upon you, and your 22 days in clark county prison will become 20 years in a federal penitentiary. oh,and we get to take everything you own. -his name's vinnie mingus. he's one of those supreme force fighters. he's supposed to be fighting today. well,it sure ain't the mandalay bay. welcome to human cockfighting. -man,this is as real as it gets. it's like a bar fight spilled out into the alleyway. like the marquis of queensberry,i prefer boxing. the sweet science. there's mingus. -somebody around here must have seen him. let's take a look around. scotch,rocks. vinnie,please. you've got to sit down. -get out of my way! hey,brass,i got him. didn't i get the message across with the last guy? i'm sorry, you can't come in here. i.v.p.d.,clear everybody out of here. -i want to have a word with mr. mingus. please, i'm his doctor. what kind of getup is that? don't touch me. we both know that gun's not loaded. -las vegas police. mr. mingus,you're under arrest. you're gonna have to shoot me before you arrest me. come on,go ahead. shoot me. -i've got backup coming. he's not going anywhere. don't make it harder on yourself! they're all fake! they're fake! -they're all fake! they're fake! vinnie,you're making a fool of yourself! i'm making a fool out of myself? hold your fire! -put the gun down! these guns are not even loaded. you see? *****at the delos auditorium-- home to the supreme force fighting championship-- after a police chase through the crowded theater ended in the bizarre apparent suicide of vinnie mingus... thanks for your cooperation,doctor. -thank you. okay,so the fight doctor says that mingus came to him with his arm all torn up. he's infected and feverish. so,the doctor wraps up his arm, tells him to go to a hospital,mingus refuses. so he gives him a bunch of antibiotics,hopes for the best. -clearly,mingus was involved in some kind of assault. why didn't the doctor inform the authorities? he says he knows mingus and he's afraid of him. says mingus is half psychotic on a good day. you know,maybe the agent hatford interview spooked him. -mingus goes nuts,follows him, takes him out. well,thank you, captain, for all your hard work. sure. so what's next? "os punho"? we're going to finish what we started. -keep me in the loop. all right? all right. we will. in mingus's gym bag, we found agent hatford's notebook,his badge and his gun. -it's empty. a davis p-380. it's a weird gun for a fed to carry. oh,my bad. it's a street piece. -must be mingus's. which means agent hatford's weapon is still unaccounted for. roid boy was sending out a lot of pictures. they're all of the feebs. looks like he was conducting an investigation of his own. -track down that number. run fingerprints,dna. swab last for trace. we always save the best for last. yes,david, that's already getting old. -hey,catherine. yeah? do you rember a jane doe we found off of spencer street about three months ago? sadly,you're gonna have to be more specific than that. pretty brunette, caught up in prostitution,underage. -gunshot wound to the head. okay,yes,i do remember her. i saw a picture of her on a board in the fbi command post. she's mixed up in this human trafficking ring. did the feds talk to her? -yeah. and they got it on video. that's quite an assembly line. out with the old, in with the new. yeah. -watch this. everything that you say in this room is confidential. now,do you know what "confidential" means? my speak is not good, but... i understand good. -okay,how old are you,sweetheart? twenty-one. no,i know that that's what they told you to say. sweetie,how old are you really? sixteen. -it's okay. you know, we've seen a lot of young girls like you on hill street being shoved into limos and forced to do god-knows-what with dirty,old men. who brought you here,rio? i can't. he will kill me. -i will be dead,you understand? you won't be dead, because we will protect you. but you need to help us. who is he? who is he? -look,we're trying to help you out here. we're giving you the benefit of the doubt. but you're a prostitute, a criminal. unless you help us, you're gonna go to jail. no more talk,no more. -i go to jail,okay? please take me to jail. please take me to jail. let her go. their files indicate that they never reinterviewed her. -three days later,she was dead. maybe os punho found out that she was picked up and questioned. had her killed on the street as a warning to the other girls. ***** what's happening,professor? -i just printed vinnie mingus's gun. at least,i thought it was his gun. what do you mean? it appears to have agent hatford's prints all over it. now,why would an fbi agent be carrying a street gun with a filed-down serial number on it? -he wouldn't-- maybe it's a drop gun. are you saying agent hatford was dirty? it happens. maybe agent hatford was mixed up with mingus or os punho somehow. yeah,it happens. -excuse me,sir. hold on. captain brass, you have a 420 on hill street. hooker or pimp? agent bechman,i was actually gonna call you. -what are you doing here? the operation was undercover. okay,david,what have you got for me tonight? ******* oh,man. -it's agent stanley. yeah,wendy? captain,i just got this e-mail from fbi quantico, and there is no record of any agent by the name of william ray hatford. they're saying this guy was a fake. okay,thanks. -there's stippling and powder burns around the wound. it was a close-range shot. somebody probably walked right up behind her on the street. looks like emma was suicidal. those are old scars. -yes,but vertical, which means she was serious. guess she finally got her wish. hey,live scan got a hit on her prints. her real name is emma mosler. she's got a record. -she did two years for prostitution. so,she was a prostitute posing as an fbi agent posing... as a prostitute? to bust a prostitution ring? okay,take everything, and we'll figure out what's real and what's not real later. there was this trucker in gerald,missouri, who rolled into town and told everybody he was a dea agent. -started busting every meth head in town. it was months before somebody finally caught on. don't try to make me feel better. can i give it a try,jim? i've been with the bureau 15 years. -this would have fooled me. well,it didn't fool vinnie mingus. he knew they were fakes. he thought we were fakes,too. blew his brains out trying to prove it. -be nice to find agent bechman before os punho does-- we anywhere on that? no. all we have is a lease made out to... i can see for miles, incorporated. all right, nevada tags. -alpha,charlie, david,foxtrot, three,four,eight. registered owner is i can see for miles,inc. same address as their command post. it looks like miles covered all his bases. yeah,well,maybe emma didn't cover hers. -we know when and where she swiped her card. the bill's got to get sentsomewhere. a halfway house? yeah... well,we think she was stealing identities from the residents. how hard could that be? -i'm detective jim brass, las vegas police. this is ray langston from the crime lab. is there someone in charge here that i can talk to? that would be me. until 4:00. -do you know this woman? yeah,sure,i know her. emma. you know,most of the ladies here are pretty nasty, but man,oh,man,she is sweet. i seen her in the shower once shaving her pits. -high point of my life. is she a resident? okay. let's see. says here that emma signed out two days ago. -never signed back in. and nobody noticed? look,this isn't a lockup facility. everybody here is free to come and go. they're just supposed to sign in and out. -how about this guy? you seen him? yeah,sure,um,miles gelson. uh,he came to us courtesy of cnph. central nevada psychiatric hospital. -very good. what about this man? billy ray salvy, another resident. he's been mia for three days. another resident. -so,we've been working a case with a couple of... crazy people? it's okay to call them that. that's what i call them. look,um, you're welcome to talk to miles if you'd like. -he's here? according to this. here we go. no,no,no,hold on. we'll take it from here. -thanks. hello,miles. we have some questions that need to be answered. i'm undercover here. all the people, they think i'm with them. -so... if you want to talk... put handcuffs on me, and take me outside. got to be careful, very careful, 'cause i can't, i can't blow this cover. i understand. just one second. captain, the man is clearly a fantasy-prone personality type. -i think it's best if we... go along with it. you're the doctor. miles gelson, we have a warrant for your arrest. stand up. put your hands behind your back! -let's go. you're probably wondering where i was when agent stanley was... uh,was,uh... i,uh, i received a call from... gun! -dispatch,this is brass. shots fired,my location. suspect down. he's dead. dead? -yes,sir. code four. good work,detective. i'm putting you in for commendation. shut up! -shut up,you whack job! you see this? you see this? this is real. you see this? -people are dead here because of you! stop it. jim,i've got it! because of you! you're a fraud! -i got it! get him out of here. the driver's cell phone was recovered at the scene. clearly,mingus was spreading the word about the phony feds. i figure the shooter was one of os punho's lower level punks, finishing what mingus started. -how much time is he looking at? let's see,impersonating a federal officer, at least two counts of accessory murder, and every person he hauled off the street to "interview" would be an additional count of kidnapping. 15 to 20,minimum. his best bet would be to plead diminished capacity. he's got that covered. -this isall from the fake command post? what are you doing? that is a good question. this is the evidence ledger from the fake feds' locker. it's filled with dates and corresponding alphabetic codes. -this is the date that that girl,rio,was killed. so it stands to reason that... this code could identify the murder weapon. that is a perfectly logical conclusion. it's also wrong. -that code isn't on any of these weapons. in fact,none of the codes on the ledger are. i've tried to decipher it using simple shift and substitution codes,no luck. unless we find a cipher key, we may never figure it out. maybe miles is the key. -hello,miles. i'm truly sorry about your friends. i'm here because i need your help. this,uh,entry in your evidence ledger corresponds to the day that girl,rio,was killed. what does it mean? -all right... miles,um... i think i know what happened,miles. i think you and emma and billy ray... were trying to clean up your corner of the world, do some good. to do that,you had to relent yourselves. -all i did was get them killed. look,they died fighting. trying to help people who couldn't help themselves. now let me help you finish what you started. i -g-d-g-d-s dash u-a-p means "little guy dropped gun down sewer." "unable to apprehend perp." corresponding evidence tagged with -g t-l-b-d dash g-n-h-a-s: "gun little "bastard dropped. gonna nail his ass someday." now,have you tried this before? -have you screened a weapon? no. want to try? all right. all right. -okay, you take the gun, and i want you to swab the grip. right in here. perfect. i'll hit it with phenol. nothing. -all right. now,we're going to swab the magazine. 'cause that gets a lot of handling action. okay. no. -so now,we're going to try the opening. and i want you to swab right here underneath the lip. great. looks like our killer caught his thumb when he was loading the weapon. the fight doctor is wanted on a long list of open trafficking indictments. -and interpol's been after him for years. we believe he's the one who shot rio. it's over,miles. it was the doctor posing as os punho. he was running the operation the whole time. -a fake cop taking down an imaginary villain. not imaginary. the suffering, the death he caused,was real. and you put a stop to it. i did? -he's in jail. i don't believe he'll ever get out. that's good. i brought you something to pass the time. ***** -as i recall... quixote regained his sanity in the end. but his melancholia persisted. he died emotionally broken and alone. well,they didn't have antidepressants back in those days. -chapter one. "at a village of la mancha, "whose name i do not wish to rember, "there lived a little while ago, "one of those gentlemen -"who are wont to keep a lance in the rack, "an old buckler,a lean horse and a swift greyhound." those windmills you tilted at, they really were giants. so there was, like, a beauty contest for uteruses, mine would win, right? i also think it would win miss congeniality. -i said your uterus was perfectly healthy. i heard "perfect." did you two sign up for that baby care class? uh, yeah, but because of our work schedules, i can only go during the day and she can only go at night. -it's almost as if we didn't think this whole "hooking up in a bar and not using a condom" thing through. i'm really looking forward to it. i mean, no other guys i hang with are having a baby, and, you know, i'm hoping to meet some other dads. maybe hang out. zack, i'm a gynecologist. -unless this ends with something weird on somebody's vagina, i can't help you. this doesn't look like any weed pharmacy i've been to. it's a parenting class. i lied to get you to come with me. i was thinking this was the strangest selection of bongs i've ever seen in my life. -so, our mission is to find you another dad to connect with. a compadre. get it? padre. whatever, dude, i thought i'd be stoned by now. -hey, what about belted shorts guy? this is kind of like hitting on chicks at a bar. i mean, what am i supposed to say to him? all my best pickup lines have the word "hot" in them. just say, "where'd you get that hot braided belt, man?" -so, when the topical hair solution didn't work, i went with the pills, but now i'm growing boobs and i can't get an erection. at least you got that hot belt. * i can't be anything without you. * so, two regulars and a decaf. -actually, mine was a regular, too. really? do you know what caffeine can do to a baby in the womb? makes them want to have a cigarette? no? -okay. well, thank you, dr. coffee. i didn't see your stethoscope underneath your apron there. my doctor says i'm allowed to have one cup of coffee a day. you know, i hate to mention it, but caffeine is... -nothing. bad for the baby. sorry. all i'm saying is that it's billie's body, and it's a shame the way people are treating her. hey. -maybe a journalist who has a column in san francisco's second most popular paper can write a searing expos? on how society imposes its beliefs upon the pregnant. yeah. oh, you mean me? abby? -you are about to be very excited. yay! whoa, calm down. what? give yourself somewhere to go. -i signed up for baby... oh! baby care classes, and i want you to go with me. yay! wait, when is it? -tonight. oh, wait a minute, tonight i have my pole-dancing class. but i can go to that another time. yay! no, i don't have a wife but i got pregnant with this girl. -and we're not dating, but i want to be a good dad. and i'm a little nervous, and i just want to make sure we're as prepared as possible. oh... okay, everybody, let's take a little break. i'm gay, but you are adorable. -i'm toni and this is my girlfriend, dani. oh, hi. nice to meet you. hi, dani, hi. hi. -so, lesbians, huh? how great are boobs? well, her boobs are fantastic, i mean, they're incredible. you just wanna get in there and... she's talking about her boobs. -and you're interrupting her. so, boobs, go on. did you check out the rack on the candy striper by the doughnut table? dani, please, you're a married woman. you wanna grab a bear claw and see if we can look down the candy striper's shirt? -i would answer that, except all the blood has rushed out of my head. excuse me. i like your wife. uh, lady-husband. girlfriend. -help me. uh... yeah, i like her, too. so, uh, what do you think of the class? uh, it's kind of frustrating. you know, none of my friends are having babies. -they're all having "guitar hero marathons", hangovers and herpes scares. uh... i was kind of hoping to come here and find a cool dad-to-be to hang out with, but i don't think i really fit in here. i tried to, you know, make conversation with shorts guy... ugh, shorts guy is such a tool. -i know. i love your girlfriend. she's lesbian me. why can't all girls be lesbians? oh, wait a minute. -holy crap! is that for the expos? yes, i have gone undercover. and i've gotta say, i feel for you. it is so eye opening the way people try and stop you doing all the things that you love just because you're pregnant. -i mean, i can't even buy a pack of cigarettes without getting a dirty look. oh, god, i miss europe. james, i have not yet been reimbursed from when i went to cover the toronto film festival. and you won't be. the newspaper business is dying, billie. -we are all rats on a sinking ship. all right, soon as i get back from my vacation in tahoe, i'll talk to someone in accounting. i think someone is down there still. hello, boss. wow. -you, too? i really don't pay any attention. so, for the purposes of my article, is it be okay if i come to that class with you? okay.yay. god, it looks so real. -i think i just felt something kick. oh, i had the chicken curry for lunch. mind your own business, fatty. condemning a pregnant woman for taking a wee nip to calm the baby's nerves. can you believe the double standard? -i think that's just the standard. oh, my god, i am so glad that you brought me here. this was the type of thing that i was so looking forward to ever since i found out you were pregnant. me, too. it was my childhood dream. -me, unmarried, pregnant, parked in a physician's spot hoping i don't get towed. but with my sister by my side making sure everything's going to be okay. all right, everyone. time to pick out our babies. dibs! -dibs! i just mean dibs. these cloth diapers are great. i'm done, baby's down! it's not a contest. -i know, but baby's down. excellent job! yay! how's it coming? my baby will be potty-trained very early. -you've put a diaper on the baby's head. it's a bandana. now he looks bad ass. this is so much fun. this is way better than pole-dancing class. -yeah, you're doing great. a lot better at it than i am. have you noticed that? have you noticed that happening? no. -could you? could you start to? you look mad. i'm not. i'm just frustrated that you seem to be enjoying the fact that you're doing better than me at this. -that is not true. i am here to support you. who'd like to be the first one to take a shot at swaddling? me! you know, i was kind of hoping to bond with some of the cool guys in the class but they totally shut me out of their chunky dad clique. -i don't think they were thrilled with how much hair i have, or the ease with which i can get an erection. not my favorite thing either, dude. crap! i think billie's home. do you think she's mad at me? -did you do anything? i've done lots of things. i'm eating her cereal right now. what the hell was that? i turned around, and you were gone! -i almost dropped daisy. sweet, it's not you! i left because what was the point in me being there? that class was just for you, wasn't it? what are you talking about? -you were totally showing me up! i mean, how could you get so good at this baby stuff, anyway? what, are you hanging out at family restrooms taking notes? diapering chimps at the zoo? what are you trying to prove? -i wasn't trying to prove anything. i was trying to help you. you're welcome! and you were loving watching me struggle. i have to pee. -do it in the sink. you just can't stand to see me be better than you at anything. i always wondered what it would be like if i was better at something than you. and now i know. you're so gracious. -you got the good hair, the glamorous job and the baby on the way, but do i explode in your face with resentment? no, i keep it in. i control it, because i love you! i love you, too! oh, you're home. -davis! oh... you heard everything with abby. i mean, i'm right, right? i mean, did davis go to your class and show you up? -no, he was a rude, inappropriate assbag. he alienated everyone. see? that's how a friend should act. abby can't do that. -you know why? 'cause she's jealous. she's jealous of my baby and my perfect frickin' uterus. my abs, your uterus, it's not our fault we're pretty people. i love how you're on my side right now. -well, again, she's wrong. what'd you say? she's wrong. i like you so much right now! zack, uh, where's billie? -this is an appointment for me. do you see anything on these posters that resembles anything that you have? because if i examine you, basically, we'd just be fooling around. uh, look, i know you don't want to hear it if it's not vagina-related... but you're the only experienced father -i can talk to. and i went to that class, but all the guys hated me. and i'm freaking out, so... could you be, like, my go-to guy for dad questions? zack, um, remember that high-speed chase that went from fresno down to bakersfield? yeah. -yeah, real nasty. uh, they put out the spikes to flatten the tires, big explosion, then the guy ran away, and then the dogs got him? yeah. yeah. that's my son, carl. -and my daughter doesn't talk to me because i had her fiancee deported. so, what can i help you with? oh, abby's just jealous of you. that's right. so i'm right, right? -right, yeah, you are right. we pregnant women have to stick together, you know. hey, this article's just writing itself. oh. huh. -it's james. hi, james. how's tahoe? yeah, funny story. uh, i didn't go on vacation. -i lied. okay. how's that going? uh, well. i had laser eye surgery. -now it's infected, and i need you to come get me. i'm so busy right now writing my review. billie, stop tapping on olivia's cubicle and come get me. okay, i'll be right there, grampa simpson. james didn't go to tahoe. -he didn't? crap! so, do i have to really write this expos? what have you been doing this whole time? i was ordering shoes. -great place, right? great? this place is amazing. everywhere i look, it's, like, my favorite kind of porn is about to break out. what's your un-favorite kind of porn? -well, the german stuff is a little rough. no wonder they started two world wars. so, lesbian me... yes, straight man me? which one of these ladies would be very open-minded or so drunk that they might mistake me for a woman? -well, i don't know them at all, but i heard they're into dutch boys. that's what we call straight men who want to hook up with a lesbian couple. come on, i'll be your wing-lesbo. i once was lost, but now am found. i was watching you in class, and you really washed that baby like a pro. -i could eat off that baby. i work at a restaurant... it's just like scrubbing a potato with limbs. okay, this is weird, 'cause you and i just met, but, uh, dani and i just found out we're having a boy, and i guess that's the universe's way of saying, "one way or the other, you're touching penis." you're a cool guy... so if i need to talk to someone, if i don't know what to do with my son, can i call you? -me? yeah. you're a natural dad. you really think that? absolutely. -and i did not get good vibes from the other guys in the class. oh, well, i think that's probably because out of all of them, you have the hottest wife. of... of course you can call me. can i call you if i have a lesbian? that would be great. -your friend is scoring. though he didn't really understand the whole dutch boy thing. my apartment is two blocks away. or, for me, two kilometers. are you sure i can't touch you guys? -yeah, okay, that works, too. can you believe this is actually happening? so, what's a lesbian bar like? i've never been in one. oh, you'd do great there. -they would eat you up. i love lesbians. why do you keep checking your phone? i still haven't heard from davis. last time i saw him, he was headed out to have a threesome. -i mean, when i had a three... i should've heard from him by now. i'm getting worried. okay, it's been two hours... time to put the eye drops in again. so keep your eyes open. -it's burning. i haven't done anything yet. don't be such a baby. oh, my god, these are the wrong eye drops. those aren't the antibiotics? -no, they're the anti-inflammatory. why is everything "anti"? why can't we have some "pro" drugs? come on, it's not that big a deal. what's going on with you? -i had this baby class with abby, and she was a total superstar, and i was a total loser. it made me think... maybe i'm not gonna be so good at this mom stuff. oh, come on, billie. you can read; they have books for that. books only teach you so much. -i'm not sure i have the instincts to be a mom. i can't even keep anything alive... i mean, i think i had a plant that committed suicide. and you know my fish i had on my desk at the office? -no. that's because it only lived for two days. in fact, i think it drowned. i drowned a fish. what if i'm bad with the baby? -there. what's so funny? look what you just did here. you took care of me, and i'm the biggest baby there is. hm. -you don't have a mom problem; you have a sister problem. she finally outshined you at something, and it's bugging the crap out of you. it is! davis! buddy! -are you alone? aw, screw it, i'm coming in. holy crap! what the...? aw, hey, zack. -you're late for the party. what happened? dude, i was in a little something called a "manah-out-trois" and then i got a little something called "tied up and robbed." why did you come here? -you know, i just had this feeling in my gut that something was wrong. no, i meant, why did you come here? ! i was sitting here basking in the glory of my experience. although, my nose was getting stopped up, and i couldn't really breathe through my mouth, so i was probably moments away from death. -good instincts. can you untie me, please? yeah, in a sec. hm? for the family album. -billie! wait, i'm mad at you. abby, you're about to be very excited. oh, really? about our fight... -i was feeling insecure... mm-hmm... about becoming a mother. yes? and... -i reacted badly to how good you were at that class, and i was wrong. yay! however, i do think that there's a slight possibility that you were actually trying to make me look bad... well, now it is your turn to get excited, because you might be right. yay! -the truth is, you weren't bad at the class; you just weren't as good as me. well, i did finally figure out that swaddling. i used tape. oh. -that is clever. yeah. and unsafe. you're gonna be a great mom. and trust me, you are gonna be so happy that i'm good at this stuff, because at some point, you're gonna look at that kid and say, -"i can't take another minute of your fat face," just like mom used to say to me. i love you. you're gonna be a great aunt. oh. -but why didn't you just call me and tell me? why did you have to come here? okay, who's up next? oh. because you showed me up at my class, so i'm gonna show you up at yours. -cross and tuck and fold... and wrap... and volar? this son of a bitch isn't going anywhere. see? you're already getting better at this. you're gonna be a great dad. -yeah, we're gonna be great parents. well, i'm late for my pole-dancing class. i got tassels now and everything. cool. i'm headed to the lesbian bar. -i don't know if i'm going to make it, love. yeah, you will. i don't see them, tulga. what's your name? what's your name? -in april 2004, my son rowan was diagnosed with autism. the feeling was like being hit... across the face with a baseball bat. grief. shame. this weird, irrational shame, like i'd somehow cursed this child by giving him my faulty genetics. -watching horrified as he began drifting away to another place. but this story isn't about the tragedy of autism. this is a story about how, as a family, we did something crazy. how we ended up going halfway across the world... in search of a miracle, but let's start at the beginning. -december 27, 2001. my wife, 8 months pregnant, and i were at a friend's house having tea... when, like something straight out of a movie, she suddenly went into contractions. one quick c-section later, while they brought kristin round from the anesthetic, i stood alone in the private room with this little boy... we'd already decided to call rowan. the clock on the wall said half past midnight... which meant, i realized, that rowan had decided to come into the world... exactly seven years to the day, and almost to the hour, that kristin and i had first spoken. -are we going to tell the story ofhow we met? well, you start because the first day i didn't talk to you. that's right. of course she wouldn't talk to me. um, who would? -i wouldn't. but we met in india. i'd been hired to write a guidebook to the region. she was there doing research for her rhd in psychology. we couldn't have been more different. -i was british, brought up partly in london, and partly on a farm training horses. kristin was a suburban girl from california. but the moment i saw her, a voice in my head said, clear as day, "that's your wife." yeah, that's right. -the first night he said, he asked me to marry him, and, um- must have been mad. yeah, and i- and i said, "how many women have you asked to marry you before?" so i lied and said, "none." oh, it was a lie? we embarked on seven years of travel and adventure. -we finally married, and settled in texas, where kristin got a job as a professor of psychology. and i continued my career in journalism and human rights, working mainly with the bushmen of southern africa's kalahari. when rowan was born, and we began living as a family, it was like everything had finally fallen into place. ¶ swing me just a little bit higher ¶ ¶ oba dia do ¶¶ and then, it all fell apart. -the world had once been our oyster. now it had narrowed down to just getting through the next day. no one could even give us a definitive explanation of what autism even was. now autism obviously means a lot of different things to a lot of people. one could argue that people have different definitions. -all right, i'll have a go. autism is due to neurological abnormalities... in the early growth of the brain. autism is a neurological impairment... that influences a person's ability... to view the world in a socially typical way. i had to learn social skills. social skills can be taught. -but sort of social chitchat just for social relatedness, i'm not into that. in autism the brain is able to detect more information. if their brain is being flooded by lots of detail that the rest of us miss, that could simply get in the way ofbeing able to interact socially. in addition the person has very narrow interests... in specific topics- sometimes these are called obsessions. today we see autism as a big spectrum... that can range from the severely mentally retarded person... who is completely nonverbal... to somebody who is a socially awkward mathematics or physics professor. -our lives became clogged under a mountain... of conflicting literature and information on the disorder. the possible causes, treatments and prognosis. we tried everything. behavioral analysis, pills, creams, diets- we were out of options. -he didn't speak to us, spent hours lining up objects obsessively, was completely isolated from other kids... and subject to endless tantrums. i'm sorry, sweetheart. his tantrums came in waves, several times a day, lasting sometimes up to four hours. autism tantrums, they're not like normal tantrums. they're often neurological in origin, which means the child is unreachable, impossible even to console. -point to where it hurts. does it hurt here? did it hurt here? is it here? he's got a red mark here. -that's a big mosquito bite. i think maybe that mosquito bite has inflamed- it's gone. the flea is gone. the what is gone? the flea? -the flea? there's a flea? okay. oh, oh- hey. -do you want to see the baby goats? goats? baby goats? penguin! more hippo. -here we go. i want more hippo. you want more hippo? i'd been keeping rowan away from horses, because i thought he was unsafe around them. but one day, he ran away from me onto the property of my neighbor, stafford, and ran right up to his old mare, a horse called betsy. -she didn't spook. instead, her reaction was so gentle, so submissive, i realized immediately that he had some direct line to her. the moment i put rowan on betsy's back, he began to speak. he's a nice horse. -this deep relaxation, it's such a rare thing for him. there's something going on between them that... even with all my years of dealing with horses, i just have never seen. it's this mystery- but it's a very beautiful mystery. just like autism is a mystery. feels like a- a warm sunny day after winter. -as rowan began to open up to me for the first time, a lightbulb went on in my head. i asked myself, why does autism have to mean the shutting down of everything? why couldn't it be a gateway into adventure? maybe even a gateway into healing? it may sound odd, but i have something of a history with traditional healing. -in the course of my work with the bushmen, i had, during the previous 10 years, been introduced into their world ofhealing through the use of a shaman. the bushmen, and many peoples like them, address their spiritual dilemmas, their health dilemmas, their social dilemmas, even their political dilemmas, through the use of a trained shaman, who enters a state of trance, talks to the spirits, and comes back with an answer. as unbelievable as it may sound, in my years of working with the bushmen, -i have seen many times, people cured of a variety of illnesses this way. so i asked myself, was there a place on earth... that combined this kind of shamanic healing with horses? i did some research. it turned out that the place where horseback riding actually originated... is the same place, the one place on earth, where shamanism is in fact the state religion: mongolia. -you want to jump with betsy? jump with betsy! okay, let's jump with betsy. betsy! okay, let's go! -oh! oh, no! betsy! what if we were to go there, riding on horseback from healer to healer? what if we were to do something like that? -when he first proposed the idea i just looked at him like, this is crazy. we have an autistic son. incredibly difficult to deal with just getting through each day. this is the absolute last thing we need in our life right now... is to go to mongolia on horseback. it's just-it's just insane. -i mean, i don't even like horses. we're going to try to keep our tantruming autistic son on the horse? going from shaman to shaman? is this going to work? but that, eventually, is exactly what i convinced her to do,: -together we were to set off from ulaanbaatar, meeting with shamans along the way, then to a sacred lake, lake sharga, known for its healing waters, and finally, if we could find them, to the mysterious reindeer herders, who live in the far north... where, i heard, the most powerful healer in all mongolia lived. aero-plane! aero-plane! this is just- it's just absurd. -our guide, tulga, picked us up at the airport and took us into the capital, ulaanbaatar. i don't know what i was expecting exactly, but this depressed, post-soviet city wasn't quite it. i'd expected the open steppe. nomads, horses, genghis khan and all his warriors, not an urban slum. i think it wasn't exactly rowan's vision of mongolia. -so look, here we are in the autism world. i'm preparing his morning chocolate milk. these are all meds that are related to his autism. this is valtrex, which is the drug for herpes. okay, so we're gonna grind this up. -then there's the heavy metals. this is to help him metabolize the heavy metals that we know are in his body. vitamin e. yeast defense. so this is to sort of help him with his gut. -which isn't helping. which doesn't appear to be doing anything at all, but it can't do him any harm- so what the hell. and then this one here- i even forget why we're giving him this one here. that's right- it's another type of antiviral... that the doctor thinks might help as well to supplement the valtrex. right. -so, shake it up. okay. that's ready for him when he gets up. nobody knows what really causes autism. autism, like many other disorders, is very complex. -these days there is a consensus that genetics... is going to be at the root of the cause. but we know that genes are not going to be the whole explanation. recently, there seems to be more problems with very severe autism... that remains nonverbal, and is regressive autism. and i'm very concerned about environmental contaminants. one theory of autism is that individuals with autism... are, you might say, a reaction to our environment. -there's a lot of pollutants out there, there's heavy metals, there are pesticides. this is having a huge impact on the human body. there isn't much doubt that... an environmental factor will eventually be established. and it may be that it has to interact with the genes. that that environmental factor only contributes to autism... in an individual who's already got a genetic susceptibility. -before our arrival, tulga had been putting the word out that rowan was coming. the result was that shamans were traveling in from all over the country for the healing, in what we were told would be the largest gathering of shamans... since the end of communism. we're going up to the sacred mountain... outside of ulaanbaatar- tsegan ui is the name of it. and, um, nine shamans... are going to meet us there, and perform a ritual on rowan. -i'm quite hopeful. i think it could be... interesting for all of us. we're going to do what all normal families do on a- what day is it today- morning. um, we're going to go up a several-thousand-foot mountain... and perform a four-hour ritual with shamans. isn't that what all families do? -come herel we gotta go back! ruin! tell you what, rowan. let's go take a little walk down to the river. -do you want to have a walk down to the river? i walk down to the river. hello. thank you for seeing us. uh, is really happy to receive you in mongoli land, and, uh, his land and our land. -you come here and, really happy to receive you here. well, we're very grateful to be here. don't step on that, sweetie. he's all right. yeah. -mental illness. in fact, all the shamans concurred... that a recent ancestor, a female ancestor, on kristin's side, was somehow clinging to rowan. rerhaps trying to harm him, or even pull him away. lfhe doesn't want to have a drink of it, is it okay, or can we? have some water. -here's some more water. have some water. water. out of the box. water. -water. water. water. what's that? it's water. -it's water. it's white water. white water. tastes like water. taste it. -just take a little sip. water! take a little drink. drink! water, water! -water! uh-huh. okay. okay. okay. -can it be over the clothes? no? okay. all right. okay, okay. -the shamans also said that a black energy... had entered kristin's womb during the pregnancy. yeah, just don't show my cellulite, that's all i ask. all right. you can photoshop that, can't you? i don't want this. -i've gotta go see the shaman. i couldn't help wondering, did i really have his best interest at heart here? was i being a terrible father? i didn't know. ¶ there is a house built out of stone ¶ -¶ wooden floors, walls and window sills ¶ is he gonna whip me? ¶ tables and chairs worn by all of the dust ¶ ¶ this is a place ¶ ¶ where i don't feel alone ¶ -¶ this is a place ¶ okay. remember, you're not allowed to cry out, love. higher. high. -higher. okay, that's fine. okay, it's all gone now. all right. okay. -yeah, i have them too. well done. i'm proud of you. come here. come here. -excuse my craziness. and then something happened. something was released. rowan began laughing, giggling, playing with the shamans. hey! -we were together again, as a family. ¶ until ¶ ¶ it disappeared ¶ ¶ from me ¶ ¶ from you ¶ -clouds gathered. a cool wind got up, and the rains came. a very good sign, said the shamans. ¶ to leave ¶ ¶ and turn ¶¶ -thank you. after the last shaman had finished, rowan turned to this small mongolian boy... who'd been there at the ceremony. and right out of the blue, hugged him, and said, "mongolian brother." he'd never done anything like this before. -the boy's name was tomoo, the 6-year-old son of tulga, our guide. after seeing the boys'interaction, tulga decided to bring tomoo on the trip with us. next morning, we set off... into the great interior of mongolia. ten hours'drive to the first nomad camp, where we were to meet the guides and horses... who would take us to lake sharga and its healing waters. -are they gonna play together? i think they might. this is very unusual. this is totally unusual. rlaying with another kid like that. -very unusual. i haven't seen him do that kind of interactive play before, ever, actually. no. no, no. the most he's ever done with another child is play chase. -but to actually have a sword fight and then- never done that before. talking about being a pirate. never done that before. take this pirate ship. very, very cool kid, tulga's son. -yeah. ow. that's really encouraging. isn't it. how do you like it? -you don't like it? i don't like it? or or, you like it? or? -oh, yeah! no, no, i'm doing a little dance. okay. all i know is we went to see the shaman, and now, two days later, we're seeing even more involved play... that i've never seen before ever. is this because of the shamans? -isn't this because of the shamans? all i know is, we went to the shamans, and now this is happening. hey, rowan, can you go poopie on the potty? can you go poopie on the potty? yes, i do. -yes, you do! do a poopie! do a poopie! no! no? -can you do poopie on the potty? all done! all done? all done poopie? i don't think he's ever successfully gone poo in the potty. -rretty much everything the books tell you you should try doing, we've tried, and have had no success. we took him out of diapers because we just thought if we didn't, he'd be in diapers forever. so we just have him wear underwear, and hope that... it's going to be so uncomfortable pooping in your underwear... that he'll eventually be potty-trained. although it doesn't seem to be working out that way very much. all right, let me just make sure you're covered. -if i could make one wish for the mongoli trip, if they could like, heal his resistance to using the potty. that is a very big wish. he could finally learn to use the potty. it would make our lives tremendously easier. i'm so tired of changing poopie underpants, i can't even tell you. -man. yuck. i've got a little plastic bag in there. jesus christ. this is a bad one. -get you all clean. you sure you want this? wow, that was- that was an explosion, mate. i don't feel quite as glamorous as steve irwin, but i do feel like i just wrestled with a beast. okay. -and at least the rainstorm hasn't hit. yet. that was what you call a code brown. here we are. our first night. -horses here? yes. horses here. we've just arrived at our first nomadic encampment. this is rowan's first introduction to mongolia proper. -he's just, um, totally into it. oh, on we get. hold the horn. for tonight, we set up tent. of course, the kitchen makes food. -also, the horses are already there, and we will be seeing our horses, which have been prepared for us. so they've been trained horses for... three days, minimum, yeah. right? so we're going to be riding on horses that have never been ridden by westerners before. this should be interesting. -oh, dear. mmm. god, this is beautiful. oh, hello, mister goats! no, i'm with the goats. -in we go. rowan's relationship with animals is extraordinary. all these animals are incredibly tolerant ofhim. they let him do stuff that neurotypical kids often can't get away with. he -he picks them up, he chucks them around. and they won't- the cat won't scratch him. the goats just sort of go limp and let him do this. and we see this time and time again. he's got something with animals. -and he's always been obsessed with animals. reople with autism often have incredibly special talents. and they do things better than somebody that might not have autism. for example, the ability to focus on a very narrow topic, to the exclusion of everything else, may be a very positive thing. we've come across some who are excellent painters, excellent musicians, excellent at math. -you wouldn't have any electricity in this building. you wouldn't have any camera to film this interview. any of these things if you didn't have people on some degree on the autism spectrum. so some of those genes that are involved in autism... may also have been very important as contributors... to the success of humanity. so now this week, i came in, and i found that he had started... putting his animals in boxes, and sorting them. -look- all the birds are in this box here. the rhinos and the pigs are together. they are biologically close to each other. no one's told him this. the camel, the bison and the musk ox are together- the large cloven-hoofed animals. -now it gets interesting. this is plains game: buffalo, zebra, kudu, gemsbok antelope. he knows that these animals group together. he must- -i guess he's observed this in a wildlife documentary. um, and then over here all by itself in a special box, is the horse. so, he's categorizing correctly, at age four, the genuses and species, and what their relationship is to each other. but no one's told him this. so this, if you like, is a really good allegory... of the mind of the autistic kid. -in in some ways, um, really advanced. but also, if you say, "hi, little boy, what's your name?" he'll completely blank you. but the locals, they say to us, um, you brought the rain. -it hasn't been raining like this. they like to say, uh, the man bringing rain... has to be really, really good person. so we respect the person... and offer many good foods... and be more polite with the people. so, tulga, do you want to just tell us what we've got here? we got sausages, and, um, lung and liver, and hearts. -oh. cheers. thank you for having us. all right, so, i'm going to start with this one. piece by piece. -mm-hmm. this is the- i think it's the lung. mmm, lung, my favorite. that's, um, really challenging. you're enjoying this, aren't you? -oh, yeah. i'm enjoying. that's, um- i can only say this in english, but that's really horrible. um, but i'm going to eat it anyway. -it can go... pretty good with, uh, some fats with it. look! there's daddy! whoo-hool hey. hey! -no, thank youl car! do you wanna go into my car? take here. -carl carl car. i want a car. go to the car? let's go to the car. -yeah. we'll go to the car. but, you know- car! to the car. -to the car? say, "car, please, daddy." i'm feeling a little anxious right now. um, i don't know if i'm doing the right thing. it just makes you feel a little bit like, what are we putting him through? -it is hard. it's stressful. it's difficult. guys, we have to get moving. car! -car! car! we've waited almost too long. all right, i'm going to keep getting moving. let's get moving. -i'd never seen rowan reject a horse before. never seen him tantrum on a horse. the horse was always the place where his tantrums went away. i can't ride on the horse. i'm just so tired and exhausted. -really? and we've only been- you have to kick every single step. do you want to take this horse? and to trot i've got to like- do you want to take this horse? -if you can change saddles. um, it'll take long to change. do you need that saddle? i'll ride in the van. jeremy's going to ride and see if he does better. -jeremyl jeremy? sit tightl sit tightl sit tightl whoal oh, dearl oh oh, shitl oh, jesus christl -oh, man. see, it is a butt-fucker of a horsel are you okay, sweetie? you wanna get down? okay, you can get down. -but the problem is every time we stop like this- mummy. you want to go see mummy? you want to ride in the car with mummy for a bit? okay. -oh! i'm sorry. i'm in a very negative mood. that was one of the most uncomfortable half hours i've ever spent in my life. all right. -well, enjoy the ride in the car for a bit. okay. and so, my son took off, into the center of mongolia, in the back of a van with leopard-skin seats and pink curtains. and... count! one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, stop! -one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, stop! you want to do that? yes, please, or no, thank you? yes, please! okay, let's do it! -and, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, stop! in my daydream, this trip to mongolia would bring him by himself riding. him not having to sit there in the saddle with me. him riding, by himself. every parent who has this passionate interest... wants to share that passionate interest with their child. -but it's more than that. if rowan can ride, then he's free. then he's got freedom. if that's something that could come of this trip, then... that alone would be- would be everything to me. ...seven, eight, nine, stop! -eventually we let him out to play at a river, and tulga took off with the van to try and find a mountain... where he could get a cell phone reception. that was a mistake. the van was now rowan's anchor of comfort in this unfamiliar place. now it suddenly wasn't there. the result? -total meltdown. oh, oh, oh, he's pooing, i think. are you going poopie? gotta get clean. okay, we can use water from the water bottle. -switch off the camera and come and help us. wrongl we gotta go home! eagle! eagle! -what's wrong? the van's coming. the van will be here in about one minute. already. do you see? -yep. there it is. see, there's the van. the van's over there. you want me, hon? -you want me, hon? oh, poor darling. okay, van's coming. van's coming. van's coming. -van's coming. there's the van. you do? i completely fucked up. i turned, through just not thinking straight, a delightful experience for him, into a pretty traumatic experience for him. -and what that is teaching me... is i've got to abandon any adult agenda. and it's funny, i hadn't even really realized until this moment that i kind of had one. so i let him down. and the important thing is just to... remember why we're here, and why we're here is for him. it's the good and the right lesson to have learned. -grr. up! down. up! down. -get the geesel get tomoo. chase the geesel we're chasing the geesel i guess i'm forgiven. it's pretty cool, huh? what an adventure. -what an adventure. i love my son. and he loves you. that's a good thing. ¶ yes, tommy was a piper's son ¶ -¶ he learned to play when he was young ¶ ¶ but the only tune that he would play ¶ ¶ was "over the hills and far away" ¶ ¶ o'er the hills and o'er the main ¶ ¶ through flanders, portugal and spain ¶ -¶ king george commands and we obey ¶ ¶ over the hills and far away ¶ ¶ there's 40 shillings on the drum ¶ ¶ for those who volunteer to come ¶ ¶ to list and fight the foe today ¶ -¶ over the hills and far away ¶ ¶ o'er the hills and o'er the main ¶ ¶ through flanders, portugal and spain ¶ ¶ king george commands and we obey ¶ ¶ over the hills and far away ¶ -¶ over the hills and far away ¶ ¶ and i would love you all the day ¶ ¶ every night would kiss and play ¶ ¶ if for me you gladly ¶ ¶ stray ¶ -¶ over the hills and ¶ ¶ over the hills and ¶ ¶ far away ¶ ¶ over the hills and far away ¶¶ i love you. -mmm. well, it's true. i'm a i'm a better father because of his autism. i never thought i'd say that. -but there's no question. i don't think i would have been... that great a dad otherwise. all right, mate. do you want to eat, or do you want to go up to bed? you want to go up to bed. -okay. i'm a better father because i- his autism forced me to listen to what interested him above all else, and implement it because i had no choice. um, i'm glad now that i had no choice. it was tough at the time, but... we're onto something good here. whool -very traditional mongolian fire. since the ceremony, i've been having these really vivid dreams, and i dreamt that i saw my grandmother happy, walking away, like she had let go of rowan. my dreams have been so powerful lately. i mean, normally, i don't remember my dreams at all, but i have been here. but there is definitely a connection with, you know, my grandmother. -all her grief and sadness, and that tendency, that kind of negativity my grandmother really had. i mean, in a way, she was a black hole. what's interesting is, you know, because i have a difficult time wholly understanding spirits. i mean, l-to be honest, i don't really believe in spirits, you know, as kind of actual entities. i believe in them more as symbolic entities. -what's interesting is that i really saw it as, um- i saw her spirit as a symbol, or maybe the actual, who knows, of that tendency in the female line... on my mother's side, um, of this real clinging, and just kind of... rage against not wanting things to be other than as they want them to be. and it's been passed down from her to my mother to me, to rowan. my rational mind says, what does all this mean? but, you know, there's some connection there. -this is a good-bye photograph. good-bye photograph. one, two, three. good-bye, blackie. maybe we can ask the locals if they know which one is good for the brain. -do you think we could visit the one that's good for the brain? yes, let's do that. bye-bye! say "bye-bye, blackie!" we decided to take the old man's advice... and head to lake sharga and the healing spring, where, so they said, we could wash away our suffering. so, back into the van we got, for three days'hard travel. -the shamans had given us some homework. every night, until we left mongolia, we had to perform a series of rituals, while praying for whatever negative forces were affecting rowan to leave him be. including, as out there as it sounds even by my standards, the spirit of kristin's manic-depressive grandmother. he's just making cognitive advances... at an accelerated rate over the last few days. i think having tomoo along is, you know, key to all this. -do you want, uh, a rainman cookie? no, thank you. okay. what's it taste like? autistic parents only eat rainman cookies. -mister shamans? here it was. lake sharga. much more beautiful than i thought it would be. there's the lake. -look at that. i wanna go. all right. let's get out. let's get out. -i have no idea if any of it has an effect, or if it's just maybe... calling up the focus and the intention for his healing, which in and of itself could be quite powerful. i don't know how useful it is to think of... us as normal and totally healthy, and rowan as the sick one, or the ill one. i think it's way more complicated than that. we would not be having this amazing crazy adventure across mongolia... if rowan was not autistic. it seems like a curse in some ways, but in many ways, it's a real blessing. -mmm. and to allow it to be. mm-hmm. to allow it to be. and also, this is rupert's and my life before we had rowan. -we traveled all over the world. yeah, and we just thought we'd never be able to do it again. yeah. you know. and we tried a couple of times. -and it was a disaster. disaster, you know. and we were terrified that this trip would turn into a real disaster too. and it hasn't. rowan's just been so into it. -and even when he was shaky the first couple of days, he was still into it, you know. i think something's really shifted with him. yeah, he's finding his adventurer's heart. yeah. he is. -i can tell you, this is a fairly hard trip in many ways. but i've had harder car rides to the grocery store with rowan. i mean, seriously. haven't you? it's true, yeah. -let's go outside and see if it's there. rowan, you're too close. well, this is kind of a good lesson in sort of- this is a high-functioning autistic kid. you can see, like, sometimes you can go out, and even just to make it 300 yards up a trail... can be, like, massively stressful. -wow, you really know how to be charming when you ask for things. swing. come on. let's go. let's go. -oh, look. here are some more dandy leaves. ooh. i gotta admit. i'm feeling a little down tonight. -i don't know. sometimes i think he's leaping forward, and sometimes it's like he's totally regressing. i know. he goes up and down like a ring-rong ball. am i just kidding myself that i'm not attached to him recovering? -will he ever be really functional? will he have to go into an institution when he's older? will he recover? will he surprise us? baby cow. -let alone will he ever ride a horse by himself. you know. i don't know. oh! no, nol -calm down. no, no, no, no. tonight he's basically just like a giant 18-month-old. and it's very painful for me to see. are you okay? -no, i'm down. i'm down. i'm feeling like, with the camera on me, it almost makes me want to cry. oh, let's go. water on your head. -on your head! ready? whoa! ride the traini okay. -just to be safe, leave the pickax here. i don't want you tunneling under the bed, looking for diamonds. it'll freak me out. without a tiny little second thought, she swung down from the stool took my pinky in her sausage fingers and guided me out the door. dan: -wait. you mean to tell me that i have this and this because you wanted to fuck an oompa loompa, are you serious? dude, it was destiny. you remember? the midget stripper the professor was talking about in class yesterday. -i went on westlaw and found out where she worked before i picked up drew. you've never been to that strip club before? no. i mean, not until last time. holy shit. -that's why you took us to that crappy bar. that's why you had me call information to find out where the club was. yes. the bachelor party was just a fucking ruse? dan, dan, dan. -how many people do you know who have fucked a midget? you don't think that's awesome? are you fucking kidding me? waitress: here you go. -keep it down? watch your language. i might not have a fiancée anymore because you dragged me into a lie that i didn't want or fucking need to be a part of. now i have to go back to richmond and beg her for her forgiveness and plead with her not to cancel the wedding that we have been planning for two fucking years, tucker. two fucking years. -i-- and what am i gonna do when i get there, huh? look at my fucking face, man. i look like i've been on the wrong end of a prison beating because i fucking have. tucker: -dude. let me finish my story. it's not always about you. drew: dan, dan, dan! -dan: about me? drew: come on, come on. woman: -oh, my god. tucker: jesus. dan: get off of me! -dude. it was a midget. drew: hey, hey, hey! right now, if i were tucker, i would shut the fuck up. -i will tell you one thing-- i don't wanna hear it, mom. i don't wanna hear it. no good baptist would be caught dead drinking to excess or getting arrested for causing a ruckus. of course not, good baptists don't get caught. -that's right. they just sit in judgment of others refusing to help them when they need it the most. don't you get smart with me, young lady. it is not my fault that you decided to fall in love with some... ...fair-weather protestant. -oh, my god. ordaining women. and marrying the homosexuals. mother! well, it's true. -a religion with all of the spirituality and none of the guilt? ha-ha-ha. oh, please. it's not right. well, now, look who the lord has chosen to deliver unto this happy home. -we need to talk. good gracious, daniel, your face. what happened to you? babe, i'm sorry. mrs. jorgens: -sorry? the wedding is ruined. look at your face! enough, mom. oh, my- -well, we have to postpone it. i cannot display your wedding photos in my house. what will people think? this isn't about you and your baloney. honey, are you okay? -babe. god, you just gotta stop letting tucker get you into these messes. look, i get it. are you okay? i'm fine. -you better stop laughing. you don't look fine. shut up. baby. gross. -we have to go. i'll work you over like i did these guys. kristy: oh, yeah? dan: -i killed them. dude, what's good for positive thinking? penance. exercise is supposed to be good, let's play some hoops. we have class. -that place we pay 35 grand a year to attend between happy hours. eh, that place is dumb. have you talked to dan? i tried calling him a bunch of times, but he didn't pick up. what? -he's not actually pissed, is he? has your id-driven narcissism completely stripped you of the ability to evaluate the consequences of your actions? dude, this is not that big of a deal. are you drunk? how have you gotten this far in life without understanding this stuff? -i'll apologize to him tomorrow when we get to the hotel. that way we can be done with all this bullshit. god truly does protect children and fools, because you are both, tucker. dan: that guy on the left, he's a vegan. -kristy: really? dan: look at those abs, jesus. no meat, just abs. -oh, this sounds good. kick his ass. i'm so tired. ugh. yay. -it's tucker. you wanna talk to him? hey, is dan here? yo, dude. can i come in? -talk? i'm coming in. yo, dan. dude. sorry. -whatever. okay. all right, what should i do? apologize sincerely. i just did. -tucker, what kind of fantasy world do you live in? one word and a guy head nod isn't a sincere apology. what am i supposed to say? i'm not a mind reader. do you understand the magnitude of the situation? -he lied to me for you. he landed in jail because you failed as a friend in every way possible. i didn't make him lie to you. he lied because he's your friend, tucker. to protect you. -that's stupid, protect me from what? from his future wife thinking his best friend is a selfish, lying son of a bitch. except for you know what? it's even worse than that. because i always knew you were selfish. -now i worry that you're this destructive force that i can't trust to protect the man i love. it was a bachelor party. tucker, look at me. you don't understand. part of friendship is knowing boundaries. -do you know what dan's are? yeah, of course. you do? yeah. what? -so you just ignored them? pushed right past them? he sacrificed his line in the sand for you and you couldn't sacrifice a midget vagina for him. and you wonder why you're not welcome at our wedding. i'm not invited? -no, tucker, you're not. there's no way. what does dan say? you don't get it. i don't care if you're at our wedding. -it's dan who doesn't want you there. fuck it. it's tucker. thanks. mm-hm. -what's up? what are you doing, man? nothing. lara's here. oh, cool, let's all hang out. -get some drinks. we can take the stripper dancing. yeah, no thanks. we're just gonna stay in tonight. we got a long day tomorrow. -getting pussy doesn't mean you need to be a pussy. let's all hang out. yes, tucker. insult us and insistently reassert your initial demand. that will make the difference. -what are you talking about? you already submarined one relationship this week. i'd like a chance to see if mine can float before you torpedo it, all right? i gotta go. fuck them if they can't take a joke. -i have two cats. a girl and a boy. abigail lulu dibiase and jersey lemon dibiase. why do you own cats? do you enjoy having big boxes of shit all around your house? -i clean the litter boxes every day. wow, god. does it not bother you how haughty they are? they could give a fuck about you. not my cats. -they're not like regular cats, they're like dogs. now, see, that is right on cue. every cat person says that. now, you know what's not like a regular cat? a fucking dog. -there's no need to thank me. the silent, awed adoration is its own reward. what you doing? i'm talking to the turtles. are they telling you to kill that fat girl behind us? -because that's what they're telling me to do. what? how can you be mad about that? fat girls aren't real people. how can a man say something like that? -well, usually i don't say it. usually it's my friend drew. and then i come in, pick up the girl on the rebound. but he's not here. woman: -so you're drinking alone? that's one of the beginning stages of alcoholism, you know. oh, i am way past the beginning stages. i already hide liquor and drink alone in the dark. that's sad. -no, it isn't. think about it. drinking is highly underrated. what are the detriments to drinking? i don't know. -you don't know. okay, how about it hurts relationships with family and friends? i don't like my family and my friends drink as much as me. how about it causes long-term health problems? i drive way too fast to worry about anything long-term. -now, it costs money. i'll give you that. but i'm gonna spend my money recklessly anyway. better on alcohol than on drugs or pornography. how about it causes rude and aberrant behavior? -i'm an asshole when i'm sober, drinking actually calms me down. now, think about its benefits. makes me invulnerable to criticism. makes ugly people attractive, boring people interesting. it makes hot girls like me. -for my money, the choice is obvious. motherfucker! oh, mongo got angry! mongo smash! you just totally blew your chance, you know. -there you were standing by yourself when two hot girls decided to talk to you. what hot girls? us! that was gonna be my question too. what hot girls? -god bless your overworked heart. oh, another fat-girl joke. that really cuts deep. the only way that i could cut you deep is with a battleaxe and a running start. yo, yo, did you hear that chick? -you ever seen wedding crashers? tucker: they look like they're a 10 when they're standing there. what do you mean? you can count that high? -skinny, fat one, zero? man 1: let's go. man 2: what a dickhead. -tucker: nice striped shirt, luigi. hey, olive oyl, i can't believe you picked bluto over popeye. that's fucked up. at least i'm not at the bar drinking by myself. -fuck you, fatty. man: i wanted to go the party, but he didn't call. hey, how's it going? this is beautiful, this ring is beautiful. -thanks. you married or do you wear that to keep the douche bags away? no, i'm actually married. then how good is your marriage? good enough to keep me in it. -then what are you doing here? girls' night out. come on, isn't that just code for: "hey, let's get drunk and suck off hot guys in the bathroom? " maybe for the girls you hang out with. -are you calling my mom a slut? does she know you talk like that? does your husband know you flirt with men you meet in bars? does it really fucking matter? no, it doesn't. -you're not gonna invite me in? there's only one toilet. there's a sink, isn't there? woman: do you always hit on women in the bathroom line? -nope. only hot ones i want to sleep with. you think i'm hot? baby, you're so hot, if i were dating you, i'd never leave the house. i'd never even leave your vaginal area, unless i was coming on your face. -you are a naughty little boy. what makes you think i'm gonna have sex with you? oh, please. i'm gonna hit it so hard whoever pulls me out of you is gonna become king of england. excuse us. -hello. you're next, gertrude. shameful. fuck. are you all right? -yeah. ready? wait. what the fuck? i gotta take a shit. -no, wait. i gotta go first, okay? what? baby, wait. i'll just be a second. -tucker: oh, fuck. goddamn. what are you doing in there? nothing. -it doesn't sound like nothing. hurry up! i'll be right out. turn on the fan. light a match or something. -oh, fuck. i'm sorry. oh, no. some air freshener in around here. i'm not feeling so good. -you're okay. i should go. no, no, no, what? i'm going. fuck, what is that smell? -holy shit. fuck! you clogged it. you clogged a motherfucking hotel toilet. what kind of constipated meth-head bowel movement does it take to clog a hotel toilet? -woman: sorry. hello? oh, fuck. tucker: -thank you very much. bathroom? where's the bathroom? in the main lobby. main lobby. -what lobby is--? oh, fuck it. fucking shit! where's the bathroom? which way is the fucking...? -oh, no, no, no. fuck. fuck. oh, fuck, no. oh, fuck. -oh, fuck. shit. oh, fuck. fuck! i'm sorry. -god, i hope they serve beer in hell. man: you may kiss the bride. and now will you please rise? yep. -yeah. yeah, i know. yep, yep. the biggest one you got. okay, thank you very much. -hold it. hold it. good. this is good. okay. -can i get you to move your head a little--? woman: this time, all she could do was talk about her and dan. they couldn't stop looking at each other and holding hands. after that, i knew he was a keeper. -and i was right. i love you, kristy. hey, i'm jeff. i'm dan's older brother and his best man. dan and i go way back. -in fact, i kind of feel like i've known him in my whole life. when dan told he'd met the girl he was gonna marry i didn't believe it. only a few short years ago, he was throwing rocks at girls and now he is putting one on her finger. man: oh, god. -jeff: i have known kristy for a few years now and i couldn't ask for a better sister-in-law. here is to my little bro and his bride. tucker: all right, sling blade, give me that mike. -some of you may not know me. my name is tucker max. dan's my best friend. at least he was, until last week when i took advantage of dan's kindness and loyalty. i forced him into lying to kristy, dragged him two hours away got him abusively drunk, and then ditched him to sleep with a midget stripper. -i am the reason that, on the most important day of dan's life dan's face looks like a melted barbie doll's. kristy: just wait. tucker: the worst part is, i didn't know i was doing anything wrong. -i was just doing what i've always done, which is pretty much whatever i want. and to be honest, it's worked out pretty well for me so far. up until about 24 hours ago when my selfishness finally caught up with me and cost me dan's friendship and my invitation to this wedding. still, i shrugged it off and went out last night anyway. i'm not gonna bore you, but the long and short of it is, i got drunk and ended the night sprinting across the hotel lobby uncontrollably shitting my pants. -ha-ha. no, really, i crapped all over the lobby. and continuing with my selfish behavior i left my mess, went back to my hotel room and acted like nothing happened. the only thing that kept me from passing out in a pile of my own puke was all the knocking at the door. staring into her angry, overworked face, i had a moment of clarity. -someone else always cleans up my mess. and for the past few years, that person has been dan. at 3 in the morning, down on my knees literally cleaning up my own shit for the first time in my adult life i finally understood what an amazing person dan is and how lucky i am or was, to call him my friend. dan, kristy. when i came to your hotel room last night to say i'm sorry i honestly didn't understand what i was apologizing for. -but in the last 24 hours, it's hit me. it's hit me like 10 pounds of slippery shit. i've been a terrible friend. and even though i probably don't deserve either of you in my life i had to come down here and tell you that and ask for your forgiveness. and i hope you will accept my sincere apology. -now.... i know that this is probably gonna scare the crap out of most of you but i hope to have kids someday. and i'm sure that i will only have daughters and they will all be vicious sluts who sleep with assholes like me and throw back it in my face. but such is karma. if one is a boy, though i would consider myself a huge success as a father if he grew up to be half the man dan is right now. -that's so sweet. strippers. tucker: dan. i never thanked you never acknowledged you never even really thought about it. -i just took from you, dude. i'm really sorry. so for once, i want to give you something back. no. here we go, follow me. -let's go. get up. wedding's going outside. you're gonna love it. you're gonna love it. -you're gonna love it. here we go. come on, come on. yeah. yeah. -get it. go get it. man 1: oh, yeah. yeah. -man 2: all right, it's open. women: three! tucker, i gotta say, when you came in here, i almost died. -i didn't know what you were gonna do. that speech was really good. thank you. you guys deserve it. yeah, we did. -come here. congratulations. weddings are gay. kristy: thank you. -you're welcome. i am going to go check on the guests. well, i'm gonna go check on jack. bye. all right, you really fucked a midget? -oh, yeah. when she's riding you, can you spin her like a top? dude, i tried, but her vagina's too shallow. the physics were all wrong. did you really shit the lobby? -oh, yeah. did you really clean it up? well, the janitor did show up with the mop and the bucket. you guys have known me for many years. what do you think tucker would do? -i knew it. you don't even do your own laundry. un-fucking-believable, bro. you didn't clean it up. you show up at my wedding, pour out your heart, and it's all bullshit. -it's not all bullshit. i don't need to actually clean up the mess to learn the lesson. i don't even know why this shocks me anymore. oh, dude. i'll be right back. -whoa, whoa, whoa, careful. watch your step. that's my cousin. subtitles by: dan4jem -# good morning, u.s.a. # # i got a feeling that it's gonna be a wonderful day # # the sun in the sky has a smile on his face # # and he's shining a salute to the american race # # oh, boy, it's swell to say # -oh, come on, francine. don't make me late for church again. god pays twice as much attention on christmas... like the media when a white kid goes missing. sorry. i was putting on my new dress. -i can't take you to god's house like that. i can see your calves. you look like a two-dollar whore. and keep in mind that the dollar is weak right now. so, to wrap up, that's an insult. -see? at least roger shows the proper respect... for this holiest of days. oh, i love your religion- for the crazy. virgin birth, water into wine... it's -it's like harry potter but it causes genocide and bad folk music. huh? huh? who who am i nudging? -there's no one next to me. no spaces. thanks to the fair-weather christians... who only show up on christmas and easter. well, we'll see how fair the weather is... when the rapture comes and they're all left behind. rapture? -what's that? it's the first sign of the end of the world... when all true christians, like myself, ascend to heaven and... ascend? you're flying now. enough. -you and the kids go find seats while we park. i hope i haven't missed the part where the three chinese guys... give perfume to the star baby. it's like the diaries of a madman. no seats. # the lord is come # -i'm beset by phony christians. stan, honey, it's christmas. relax. i won't relax. i'm a better christian than anyone in there. -i'm the one who drives by hebrew schools... baptizing kids with a super soaker filled with garlic water. i have an idea. we can't watch church from here. this is where the slow janitor lives. it reeks of dead mice and moldy highlights magazines. -oh, i hate seeing you stressed... so i'm gonna give you your last present. francine, we can't do this in the house of the lord. this is wrong. then i've been naughty... and you'll have to put a big piece of coal in my stocking. mmm. -mmm. mmm. wow. thanks, francine. if you're wondering why i lasted longer than usual... it's because i was focusing on the dolls... the janitor made out of windex bottles and rat fur. -strange. i don't hear anything. what's going on? # gloria # the rapture. -turns out there is a god. # oh, gloria # # gloria ## what? it can't be the rapture. -if this were the rapture, i'd be floating up there. and so would the slow janitor. actually, i never truly accepted jesus into my heart. mom! dad! -steve! hayley! what's happening? i was just about to do something really funny. i'll tell you what's happening. -it's the end of the world... and we've been left behind. oh, my god. the homeless guy from the bus station is hung. but i knew that. wait. -there's been a mistake. lift me up, lord. here, i'll help. wait, hold on. this bible stuff is real? -all right, somebody call mel gibson and apologize. and then call tim robbins and tell him i banged susan sarandon. he'll know what it means. father donovan, what happens now? honestly? -i have no clue. luckily, i know an expert. hi, kids. i'm ricky the raptor, here to tell you about the rapture. the rapture is the beginning of the end of the world. -it starts with all true christians floating up to heaven. what about the sinners that are left behind? well, jo-jo, they get to witness the second coming of jesus. jesus is coming back? did he forget something? -nope. jesus is coming back for armageddon- you mean that green stuff that your daddy puts in the car? that's antifreeze. the antichrist is the son of satan. -stay cool. hello? yes, i need to charter a helicopter asap. uh, just about a mile up, and then i'll grab onto someone. i can't imagine john goodman's that high up yet. -okay. steve and hayley smith, your personal heavens are ready. personal heavens? yeah, every saved soul gets a personalized paradise... suited to their individual tastes. here you are, steve. -wait. there are so many doors. how can you be sure this is my heaven? pepper jack cheese. authorities confirm the total number of raptured at 142 million. -you may notice my partner greg isn't here. that's because he was raptured. apparently, god does love gays, but only if they're tops. take it in the behind, you get left behind. well, if we're gonna be left behind... at least we're left behind together. -yeah. what the hell, francine? i'm trying to rebuild my spaceship so i can get off this planet... but all my boxes of spare parts are full of hard rock cafe sweatshirts. oops. there must have been a mix-up when i gave stuff to goodwill. -oh, okay, well, as long as there's a good explanation. demons are coming to rape our skulls. breaking news. the second coming of jesus is here. francine, shh. -i want to hear this. that's right. jesus has returned to earth... and tonight, he'll be at the langley falls civic arena... where he'll brief mankind on his upcoming battle with the antichrist. that's it. we'll just go to jesus and explain there was a mistake. -okay, the coast is clear. yes? stan. oh, it's me, stan smith. i was supposed to be raptured, but there was a mistake. -i'm sorry, stan, but what's done is done. wait. i know what this is about. it's because of the sex in church, isn't it? look, i didn't want to do it. -she seduced me. what? please, jesus. don't let her moral failings screw me out of paradise. moral failings? -you think you're better than me? stan, you're right. what? that's why i'm going to rapture him. really? -oh, jesus, you are the best. later, world. smell my ass. wait. you're just gonna abandon me here during armageddon? -okay, look. i'll go up to heaven and get a hand stamp. i'll come out, lick it and press it against your hand. boom, you're in. just like that time at cabo wabo. -oh, wait. that didn't work. you had to sit in the bus all night. aw, it'll work this time. no, stan. -i wouldn't want to get you in trouble and drag you down again. in fact, you never have to worry about that again, because we're through. oh, francine. no. go ahead. -no, really. so you went to the jesus sermon too. did you go with your boyfriend? i don't have a boyfriend. i had a husband, but it's over. -he... left me. i hope whatever he left a woman like you for is worth it. okay, right here. this is good. -all right, jesus, rapture me. take off your clothes. oh. i thought they came off magically. you're not really jesus, are you? -hi. goodwill? yeah, i'm calling again about my spaceship parts. well, damn it, look again. oh, hey, honey, good news. -i told jesus not to rapture me... because i couldn't bear to leave you behind. nice try. you didn't get raptured because that wasn't the real jesus. he was just some phony trying to take advantage of desperate fools. what? -oh, next you'll say i let him bend me over a dumpster... before i came to my senses. you're too much, lady. i know because i found jesus, stan. the real jesus. you're... the real jesus. -hi, stan. jesus is back to spend the next seven years fighting the antichrist... and he asked me to be his girlfriend. he can date this time. can you believe it? jesus thinks i'm good enough for him. -good-bye, stan. have a nice armageddon. i dropped my meatball in the pool. hello, stan. well, well. -what brings you to new denver, commander jesus? here on christmas vacation? that reminds me. i got you a birthday present. my other cheek! -i need a job done... and you're the only man who can do it. forget it, nazarene. i stopped doing things for you the day you stole my woman. well, that's just it, stan. francine -the antichrist got her. i don't know how he got to her. it means i can't trust anyone, not even my generals. what makes you think you can trust me? because i know you've fought against his kind. -i fight for anyone who pays me. i also know you still love her. hah! i'll do it. but not because of her. -if i help you, you rapture me off this you-forsaken rock. deal? anyone you knew? yeah. he was my father's jester. -really funny dude. it's a trap. the open road is too dangerous. uh, what if we go through sector 16? sector 16? -the perfect man just proposed the perfect way to die. fine. then what about sector 35? huh! sector 35 makes sector 16 look like sector 48. -okay. then what do you propose we do? i know someone who might be able to help. okay, qui lo. hit it. -aaah! damn it. wait. no wonder this isn't working. the stone waterfall goes in my career corner... and the orchid goes in my wealth corner. -lovers' quarrel? well, well. i always knew you'd breeze back through my door. roger, meet jesus. ah. -an alien. one of my father's side projects. you better watch your mouth. whoa. whoa. -we need to book passage on your ship to the far outlands. good luck. the ship's sub-fusion engines... run on precious metals and crystalline minerals... so unless you can poop out gem-encrusted gold, you're out of luck. when my army laid siege at the battle of boca raton, they found this. okay. -where am i taking you? the lair of the antichrist... the dark epicenter of all that is evil. of course. jerry seinfeld's car garage. what? -no. the united nations. really? seinfeld has his own car garage in manhattan. do you know how expensive that is? -he bought a whole building in manhattan... and converted it to hold all of his porsches. what is the deal with that? okay. i'll drop you off at the lair of the antichrist... and then "arm-a-geddon" outta here. i gotta write that one down. -come on. start. thanks for the ride, other worlder. wait. jesus, i'm still stuck here. -can't you just send me to heaven? i can't do that. but i can offer you something else. after i defeat the antichrist, i'm to begin the long road of rebuilding civilization. it's going to be a lot of work, and i could use your help. -that's okay. by the way, what does the antichrist look like? believe me, you'll know him when you see him. ohhh! what did you do that for? -that was the antichrist. no. there's a prep school two blocks away. sometimes the kids come in here and play. then i guess i just picked a whole bouquet of oopsie-daisies. -this is it the lair of the antichrist... where everything's anti-me. francine! kneel before the lord, punk. oh, stan. -don't get any ideas, doll. i'm just in this for the rapture. right. the only thing you ever cared about. hello, darling. -leave the heartwarming reunion for later. the antichrist. condemn them, mother... for they know exactly what they do. uh, i'm sorry. what does that mean? -you know. it's the opposite of " forgive them, father... for they know not what they do." hello. i'm the antichrist. i'm the opposite of jesus in every way. -anti, get us out of this thing. well, jesus, you can walk on water, eh? let's see if you can swim in land. huh? i built that. -see? you were a carpenter. i'm not handy at all. we're pinned down. it's raining wise men. -hallelujah. you should have known, anti. with me, the thigh's the limit. uh, funny. stan, what are you doing? -in one minute, this place is gonna be blown to kingdom come. thou shalt not not kill! later, world. smell my ass. stan! -why, stan? why did you take the bullet for me? for the same reason i came here- for her. francine, i was wrong to ever think i was better than you. i wish i could go back and change the man i was. -you're the best, so you deserve the best. you deserve... fancy feast. what? sorry. -i mean jesus. you deserve jesus. i'm kind of bleeding out here. here, let me help you. our wedding rings. -now go! both of you. this place is gonna blow. no, stan. i can't leave you behind. -i know you can't. get her out of here. stan, at least let me rapture you. there's no time. the spell takes too long. -he's right. go! mmm. merry christmas, mr. and mrs. jesus. well, here we are. -i always imagined i'd spend eternity with francine. stan, this is your personal heaven. it is what your heart most desires. honey, i'm wearing my new dress. how do i look?

( car alarm chirps ) after you, mrs. conway. why, thank you, mr. conway. ( tv playing ) -( bell dings ) yeah yeah yeah. i may be slow, but i'm not deaf. i know it's early, but we were hoping that we could... don't tell me. -let me guess. you need a room. i'm psychic. it's a gift. so where are you from? -chicago. i thought you were psychic. it comes and goes. we're from chicago. we just got married. -we eloped. can you believe it? i'm beside myself with wonder. we're taking a mule trip into the grand canyon this weekend. better you than me. -you always this cheerful? no, i'm usually a tad cranky. room 3. checkout is monday at 11:00 in the a.m. what about the luggage? -it can wait. mr. conway? yes, mrs. conway? say that again. what, mrs. conway? -i can't help it. i love the way it sounds. get used to it. and i never want to get used to it. so are you getting excited about tomorrow? -am i excited about riding a smelly ill-tempered beast into a big, dusty hole in the ground? let me think. they're not that ill-tempered, and you get used to the smell. oh, now that is something that i look forward too. don't be such a pessimist. -it's gonna be amazing. i've got an idea. why don't we... stay in bed all weekend and just look at the picture every once in a while? no. -must resist. must stick to plan. must... ( shrieks, giggles ) let's get this show on the road. -( giggles ) hey! you don't have a permit? well, you can't take a mule trip into the canyon without a backcountry permit. okay. um, where do you get a permit? -this is late may. the question isn't where, the question is when and the answer is january. early february at the latest. you could try the ranger station at grand canyon village, but i doubt they'll tell you anything different. ( sighs ) -yeah. okay. oh my god. so you don't have any backcountry permits? i'm sorry, you should've applied... -i know, i know, i should've applied in january. early february at the latest. ( country music playing ) * you always was a seeker * * me, i just like beer... * no, you're right. -maybe it's just not meant to be. honestly, i think it's for the best. man: well, maybe it is, and then again maybe it ain't. i couldn't help but overhear, seeing as i was eavesdropping and all. -i just want to say that i'm deeply moved by your dilemma. now see, i'm not one to really toot my own horn, but the fact of the matter is that. i've done it all. i trapped beaver, i hunted bear, i panned for gold, i lived with the indians and i've been struck by lightning... -twice. i've been buried by rockslides, i've been stung by scorpions, i've been mauled by a mountain lion and i went a couple of rounds with a grizzly before he give me this, but i took his left eye in return, so i guess you could say that we're even. jeez. -and that ain't the half of it, my friend. who are you exactly? i'm the answer to your prayers. the name's pritchard, folks. henry theodore roosevelt pritchard, guide extraordinaire. -i've got the mules, i've got the gear, i've got the know-how and i've got the huevos. and i'm hereby offering my expert services. are you saying that you can take us down into the canyon? is a frog's ass watertight? -( chuckles ) see, i used to be a guide for one of those bigger outfits, but we had a falling out over what i guess you might call creative differences. mr. conway: can you get us a permit this late? oh, i can get you a permit. -it's all a question of greasing the right palms. would you excuse us for just one second? well, sure. take two. live it up. -yeah. ( clears throat ) i think i saw him on "america's most wanted." well, the guy's just a little eccentric. eccentric is living in a house trailer with 37 cats, not stalking around with a meat cleaver strapped to your side. -mr. conway: yeah, but he can... he can get us a permit. eaten by a one-eyed bear is what he can get us. we may never get another shot at this. -we don't know how much time we have or where we're gonna end up. what if there aren't any other trips? okay. well, let's tell grizzly adams the news. oh. -so do we have a deal or do we have a deal? done. you won't regret it, folks. now i hate to talk about this, but... have a seat. ( wind blowing ) -( doors open, close ) - ( crow cawing ) ( speaking native language ) he's saying that the crows are messengers and that one's speaking to us. listen. what's he saying? -how should i know? he's speaking crow. henry... ( both speaking native language ) did you get a permit? oh yeah, i've got it right here. -let's get your gear stowed away. i'm glad you made it. thank you. i've never ridden a mule before, henry. you know how to ride a bicycle? -yeah. well, this ain't nothing like that. the grand canyon provides the most complete record of geological history that can be found anywhere on god's earth. there's fossils of brachiopods, coral and mollusks in the kaibab limestone... that's the topmost layer. -it is a relative youngster at 250 million years old, give or take a millennium. hey, henry. yeah? what do you know about john wesley powell? john wesley powell, who lost his right arm at the battle of shiloh and went on to become a famous explorer of the grand canyon? -yeah. never heard of him. okay. just yanking your bootheel, my friend. i'm a regular encyclopedia when it comes to the venerable j.w. powell. -i have to get a picture of this. that qualify as a creative difference? shh. care to wet your whistle? don't mind if i do. -oh, come on. not bad. go ahead. no, thanks. one of us should probably stay sober. -well, we'd best get a move on. it's gonna be hotter than a texas cathouse on dollar day by noontime. now that's hot. right there, tracks of canis la-trans... that's coyote to the layman... -and trickster of navajo myth. we should stop. ( camera clicking ) you want some? put hair on your chest. -i think that ship has sailed. ( chuckles ) okay. go ahead. you won't even taste a paltry amount like that. -go ahead. yeah, that might do it, tough guy. what? this ain't nothing. ( mule braying ) -( chuckling ) henry: you need some water. come on and get some water. yeah. -you like it? mmm. i can see that. all right. not too shabby, huh? -you see, when i saw him that time... some persons... you know, a person goes seven lifetimes without seeing a bobcat, but i was mauled by the same one three times. and the reason i know it was the same one is because he was a cross-eyed bobcat. i guess that's what made him so ornery. he gave me this. -( rocks splashing ) oh my god. yup. did i ever mention i was bit by a mule? uh, no. -jeez. what did you do? i bit him back. ( both laugh ) you know what i would suggest? -i would suggest that y'all take a look behind those rocks over there. i'd recommend taking a little walk back there. it's... magnificent. it'll be worth your while. trust me. -you wanna go? yeah, sure. nick: oh. lori: -oh, wow. henry was right. this is amazing. ( wind blowing ) ( chuckles ) -you think your mom will ever forgive me for dragging you off to vegas to get married? yeah, no problem. it shouldn't take more than 10, 12 years. ( both laugh ) sounds about right. -don't worry. i've been working on her. she'll come around. maybe she thinks we got married for the wrong reasons. what do you think? -i feel like... things are finally starting to take shape, finally starting to form into place. i think that this could be a fresh start for the both of us. i know that working for my dad isn't exactly a dream come true... no no, it's good, it's good. -i mean, the job, the future... it's good. it's all good. ( birds chirping ) i was about to send out a search party for you two. -( horse nickers ) you know, we could either camp here or, if a person was so inclined, i could show 'em a trove of anasazi petroglyphs... 12,000 years old if they're a day... and i think i'm the only white man who's ever seen them. are you kidding me? -we are completely inclined. oh yeah? a good half-day's ride from here. the going's rough, water's scarce... it's more than most people care to bite off. -that sounds, you know, perfect. wait a minute. didn't i read in one of those brochures that you're required to stick to the permit? well, that's actually more of a suggestion than a requirement. up to you. -watch out. listen, if you're not cool with this, you just say the word, okay? and we'll... you know, we'll camp right here. i'll even name the creek after you, if you want. ( whispering ) come on. -come on. come on. you want to do it. you want to do it. you want to do it. -all right. fine. lead the way, henry. all right. let's do it. -all right. well, we'd better be getting moving. all right. that's yours. was this mine? -this is yours. that's yours. "j.w."... john wesley powell. the very same. -him and nine others ventured into the canyon in may of 1869. now three months and 1,000 miles later, only six of them came out. what happened to the others? actually, never mind. i don't want to know. -come on. say "missing and presumed dead." ( laughs ) petroglyphs are about an hour from here. we'll make camp there. -that's good news, 'cause my butt is killing me. yes, sir. all righty. ( rattling ) - ( neighing ) whoa! -hey hey hey hey hey! hold on, boy! hey hey! whoa whoa! ( grunts ) -ah! ( donkeys braying ) - ( rattling ) ooh, boy! lori. are you all right? -i think so. ( grunting ) oh no. all right, come on. come on, come on. -oh my god. well, my arm's broke but good and i'm snakebit twice to boot. those rattlesnakes? diamondback rattler. at least it ain't a mojave rattler. -a mojave rattler... the venom goes straight to the spinal cord. that ain't a pleasant way to go. is there anything that i can do? henry: yeah, you know what you could do? -( beeps ) you could go see if you can corral them mules, especially the one that's got our gear on it. all right. i don't have a signal. sometimes them things work up here and sometimes they don't. -i'd be much obliged if you could maybe find some kind of piece of wood that i could use for a splint so i can immobilize my arm. it's best if i stay still for a minute. okay. otherwise the venom's gonna go directly into my system. come here, boy. -come here. ( clicks tongue ) come here, boy. come here. ( nickers ) -that's a good boy. that's a good boy. ( braying ) shoot! ( pants ) - ( grunts ) damn. -got a little water. yeah, you'd best save it. ( grunts ) right... right there. ( clears throat ) sorry. -aren't you supposed to cut an incision to suck out the venom? you do that, you invite an infection. you're supposed to keep the bite area lower than your heart. that's gonna be a little hard to do, since i got bit on the face. maybe i'd better stand on my head. -we've gotta get you to a hospital. no, it's too late to head back now. ( yells ) sorry. bed down here. -head out at first light. we'll soon get a fire started. ow. yo, wait a minute. this all the matches you have left? -no, i've got a lot more left in my saddlebags. which is on the supply mule. uh-huh. yeah, along with the first aid kit, along with the food and water. shit. -you said it, my friend. that's pretty good. good. you all right? yeah. -whew. is there anything more we can do for you, henry? no, just keep that fire going. i'm starting... i'm starting to get the chills. -so, henry, what happens now? well, i'll probably get a fever. i guess i'll get dizzy, blurred vision. i'll take leave of my senses at some point, though you might be hard-pressed to tell. you know, i think that we'd best cook up them rattlers. -the cupboard's bare, folks, and we can't afford to be choosy. will you help me? huh? here. yeah. -what do i do? you just cut the connecting muscles around the anal vent to release the skin. ( rattling softly ) yeah, that's good. you want some? -it tastes like chicken. no thanks, i'm a vegetarian. ( chuckles ) since when? since i found out that thing had an anal vent. ( both laugh ) -( wolf howling ) that'd be canis lupus... western timber wolf ( howling continues ) looking for a date. -( wolves howling ) and i guess somebody got lucky. sounds like they're hunting. i didn't know there were wolves around here. oh yeah. -they're here now. no place left for them to go. ( howling louder ) we've encroached on their territory for so long, ain't hardly nothing left for them to eat, so sometimes they go looking for food in places. they're just looking to survive, same as you and me. -you screw with mother nature, she's gonna find a way to screw you right back. on that note, i think i'll try my cell phone again. ( henry retching ) ( yelling ) hey, henry, are you all right? -i've been better. ( clears throat ) let me just... ( yells ) ( chuckles ) -i've got some chapstick in here somewhere. ( laughing ) oh, baby. all right. well, we'd best get a move on. -hey, darling, give me some of that chapstick. ( crow cawing ) hush. what is it, henry? indians say that crows work in tandem with wolves, leading them to injured prey. -the wolves feast and the crows get the leftovers. oh. oh, there it is. lucky for me i ain't no indian. hey, what else you got in that thing? -( beeps ) sunscreen, kleenex, spare battery for my camera and gum. gum? ooh, you've got gum. come on. -fork it over. yes. you want half? thanks. thanks. -shouldn't we be at the campground by now? i don't know. if i had known our human compass was gonna go haywire, i would've paid closer attention. hindsight being 20/20. -we're lost, aren't we? no, we're not lost. hello! ( echoing ) you're not lost! -( echoing ) feel better? not even remotely. ( henry mumbling ) all right, let's make camp. -we'll make it here. what if he doesn't make it? i'm scared, nick. ( whispers ) oh god. henry: -i see 'em! i see 'em! i see 'em coming! henry! i've seen their wrath! -i see... ( braying ) ( yells ) henry, what are you doing, man? all right, i'll go get the mule. -okay. henry? oh, you... oh my god. it ain't that mother nature's cruel. she don't care one way or another about it. -but make no mistake... one way or another, she will have her day. henry, we'll get you to a hospital first thing in the morning, okay? ( laughing ) oh, henry, please don't... henry? -no. ( crow cawing ) damn it. ( panting ) he's dead. -( wind blowing ) ( crickets chirping ) we can't just leave him here. well, we can't carry his body out, not without a mule. we should bury him. -we can notify the authorities when we get back. better get to it. ( wind blowing ) hi. hmm? -morning. hey. mmm. hey. were you awake all night? -mmm, pretty much. oh no. ( yawning ) we should head out that way. so long, henry. -( vulture cawing ) i want to paint the kitchen when we get back. you want to paint the kitchen? white is so boring. it's so safe. -it's so nothing. it should be more vibrant, more alive, like pumpkin or brick red or something. anything but white, you promise me that we'll paint the kitchen when we get back home? sure, lori. -whatever you want. i'm serious. you promise me that we'll paint the kitchen when we get back home. all right, i promise. i'm not gonna die out here, nick. -no, thanks. i'm all full. all right, come here. give me a piece. come on. -give me some. so which way? well, the campground's south of here. the sun's headed that way, so that's west. so south must be here. -we go that way. as long as you're sure. i'm sure. hey, look. ( chuckles ) no. -( sand trickling ) now that's just plain cruel. how long do you think it's been since we had anything to eat or drink besides gum? i don't know. what day is it? -monday, i think. i had some rattlesnake saturday night. lucky you. oh god, you know what i could really go for right now? huh? -a pizza. i wouldn't say no to a pizza. hello? oh, yeah, hi. i'd like to order a large pizza, and can i get that with extra cheese? -don't forget the pepperoni and the sausage. did you get that? great. oh, by the way, do you deliver? -( both laughing ) you might as well try it while you have it out. you never know. ( beeps ) hey, i've got a signal. -call 911. ( beeping ) shit. what? i lost it. -nick: what? what what what? anything? damn it. -it's all right. it's all right. it means we're on the right track. ( laughing ) what? -it's gonna be checkout time at the motel pretty soon. something tells me we're gonna be a little late. we told the manager we were going on a mule trip into the canyon, right? yeah, so? "so?" so when we don't check out on time, she's gonna realize that something is wrong and she's gonna notify the authorities. -what? the motel manager? she wouldn't pour water on us if we were on fire. when we don't show up by 11:00 she's gonna charge us for another day. yeah, but... -are these the petroglyphs henry was talking about? ( panting ) no. they're, uh... those are... those are back there somewhere. unless we just walked in a big circle. -i don't believe it. we're farther from the campground than when we started this morning. i can't believe i let you talk me into this. no. i asked if you were cool with this and you said yes. -and what choice did i have? you know, it's like you're on some kind of a mission. you're always pushing it and you take stupid risks! you never stop! you know, sometimes you need to face up to reality. -oh, i'm facing it. here it is, lori! huh? ! all the reality you want! -yeah, thanks to you. you know, i came here only for you! look look, here it is. here it is. look at it. -it's all ours, huh? ! stop it! oh, i... let's get out of here. -it looks like we either head out that way... or we climb. ( beeping ) check this out. okay, i'm checking it out. -what am i checking out? this is definitely doable. define "doable." there's plenty of handholds. once we get to that ledge, we'd scoot across this seam, shimmy up that crevice there, make our way up to the last rock face and voila, we're at the top. -what do you think? shimmy? i think you've been out in the sun too long. hey, we can do this. this is just like that wall i used to climb in that rock gym. -you climbed it once, nick. yeah, and the instructor said i was a natural. be careful. what did i tell you? piece of cake. -well, we might be able to get a phone signal from up there. we'll have a much better chance of being spotted up there than down here. it's our best option. we can do this. then what are we waiting for? -here's a good one. okay. ( grunting ) ( nick grunting ) you all right? -uh, yeah. ask me again when we get to the top. maybe... maybe i should just try my phone from here. what? no no, not now. -not now. yeah, now. all right, make it quick. okay. i need your help. -can you hold my hand? okay, you got me? yeah. okay. ( beeping ) -i've got a signal. what? ( ringing ) it's ringing. yeah! -woman: 911. hello? hello? we need help. our guide is... -hello? ( beeps ) hello? i lost her. it's all right. -try again. ( beeping ) ( ringing ) it's ringing again. woman: -911. what's your emergency? hi, we're lost in... ( beeps ) shit! -shit! i lost her again. all right. put it on speaker and lean out. i'll hold on. -really? yeah, i've got you. come on. you can do it. okay. -( beeping ) okay. okay. go ahead. ready? -yeah. are you sure? yeah. okay okay. ( phone beeps, rings ) -woman: 911. hello. hello. can you hear me? -what's your location? we're lost in the grand canyon. ( both yell ) gotcha. oh my god. -oh shit. yeah, okay. ( coughing ) ( nick grunting ) nick. -hey, honey, are you okay? ( mumbling ) are you okay? are you okay? my leg... my leg... oh, it's killing... -okay, i'm just gonna go over here and take, and take a look. okay. ( grunting ) i'm gonna lift your pant leg up to get a better look. -( squelches ) - ( screaming ) oh my god. is it broken? i don't... i can't really tell. -lori, just pu... pull me out. just pull... just pull me... no, nick, i... ( screams ) no, i don't think we should try and do that. pull me... pull me out! -okay. okay, honey. pull me up. all right. oh, fuck. -okay, ready? ( mumbles ) come here. help me. ( screams ) keep pulling! ( grunts ) -keep trying! oh yeah, that's good! nick? ( growling ) oh, no. -get outta here! get outta here! ( panting ) nick, nick, i heard you shouting. where the hell, where you? -i thought that if i could find some kind of a lever, maybe i can pull this boulder up. really? ( wood creaking ) come on. ( snaps ) - ( both yell ) -ah! god! ( mumbling ) how's it look? not too bad. -you've always been a shitty liar. it's okay. it's a good quality to have in a wife. that bad, huh? any ideas? -i could go for help. except we're lost. what happened to your phone? your call went through before though, right? even if it did, i didn't get a chance to tell the operator where we are... -not that i even know where we are. but henry got us a permit, and when he doesn't show up, they're gonna know that we're missing and they're gonna send somebody to come looking for us, so it's okay. do you really think that henry actually got a permit? ( crow cawing ) do you remember the story of the guy who went hiking in... -god... in utah, i think it was? ( inhales deeply ) he fell... or maybe he got caught in a rockslide. i don't remember, but anyway he got his arm pinned by a boulder. -he tried everything he could to free himself but nothing worked, so he cut off his own arm. i think that was different. no, it's not that different. he was alone. -and i have you. we're one up on him. no, he had no choice, but we do. do we? yes, we can, you know, still try and work something out. -he survived. i could too. nick, you... you can't cut off your foot. i know i can't... but you could. -no. no. no. the pain is like lightning running through my veins. i can't... -i can't do that. i can't cut off... i saw a wolf. what? here? -when you went looking for that piece of wood. okay. all right. we've got to get you out of here. oh, lori, it's no use. -lori, please. ( grunting ) lori, please. we have to go now. lori, don't. -please don't. ( grunting ) come on. no. oh, please. -come on. help me, please. please. please don't. please don't. -come on. ( screams ) please don't. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. -( crying ) oh, come on, please. please move your leg. oh, please. please stop. please stop. -please! ( mumbling ) oh, please get... we can't stay. help us. -( bird squawking ) let's say that you're right and we have to... i have to cut your foot off. how exactly am i supposed to do that? with henry's knife. -we buried it. ( flies buzzing ) how could i be so stupid? i'll go back and get the knife. forget it. -come on. you said it yourself, if we don't get you out of here, then you're gonna die. you don't know your way back to henry's grave. i can try. but what if you get lost? -huh. i'm already lost. i'm serious. so am i. i can do this. -no, i can't let you. well, try and stop me. ( chuckles ) i'm sorry. that wasn't funny. -yeah, it was. that should be plenty. here. huh. just in case. -great. where are the marshmallows? well, i should get going. i don't want to get caught out there in the dark. hey, i'll be back so fast you won't even know i was gone. -i'll see you soon. happy trails. lori. be careful. ( vultures cawing ) -oh, where the hell are you, henry? okay. oh, god. i'm sorry, henry. god. -( scream echoing ) ( crow cawing ) nick. ( wind howling ) ( flies buzzing ) -( groans ) hey. hey. sorry to interrupt. no, don't be. -how are you feeling? i can't complain. how's henry? what's this? it's our permit. -what's it say? that we'll be staying at havasupai campground. returning on monday, may the 28th. so even if they go looking for us, they won't know where to look. ( paper crumpling ) -did you sterilize it? yeah. yeah, i did. that's good. i wouldn't want to get an infection. -it's all right. i won't hold it against you. promise? cross my heart, hope to die. here, you have to bite on this. -mmm. i love it when you talk dirty. ( nick groaning ) ( crying ) ( wolves howling ) -( growls ) ( growls ) - ( barking ) get out of here! leave us alone! ( howling continues ) -hey. i have to go get more wood. wish me luck. ( howling continues ) ( howling continues ) -( growling ) ( screams ) ( yelps ) ( whines ) ( wind blowing ) -( grunts ) ( mumbles ) ( grunting ) did you? when we get back, i'm... -when we get back...? when we get back, i'm not gonna take that job with your father. you're not? who's gonna buy running shoes from a one-legged salesman? one-legged joggers. -( both chuckle ) i never should have gotten us into this mess. we don't belong here. ( wolves howling ) ( wolves barking ) -( howling continues ) go on! get away, you bastards! ( growling ) ( knife zings ) - ( yelps ) -( growling ) ( screams ) no! no! ( yelps ) -( barking ) ( panting ) is that water? we don't have any water. i'll check the mule. -we don't have a mule, remember? here. here, you should try and eat something. here. open your mouth. -oh. what is it? it's roast wolf. i thought you were a vegetarian. it comes and goes. -here, open your mouth. ( gags ) come on. you've got to eat something. i wouldn't say no to the last stick of gum. -here, live it up. take the whole thing. here. i'm sorry. i wish there was something more i could do for you. -i can't tell where i... and, and everything else begins. i feel like i'm disappearing. hey, you're not disappearing. you're right here. i'm not me anymore. -i'm all of this. i'm everything. and you know what? it's okay. no, it's not okay. -hey, i'm going to get you out of here, but i need you to stay strong. you can't give up on me. ( groans ) hey, i am serious. i'm in a really lousy mood and you don't want to piss me off, okay? -you got it? i've got it. good. now let's get the hell out of here. ( both grunt ) - ( cries ) -leave me here. no. forget it. you'll never make it out of here with me. please. -please don't. please. ( moans ) that hurts too much. that's just your inner wimp talking. please stop. -no, if we stop, we die. ( sniffing ) ( moaning ) get up. come on, get up. -up. come on. ( grunts ) put your arm in that... over that. -other arm over me. come on. why are you doing this? stop talking. you're wasting energy. -i get it... tough love, right? you'd better believe it. never been a fan. ( sniffing ) -( vulture squawking ) wait. we have to stop for a minute. huh? yeah, lie down. -( fly buzzing ) oh. ( coughing ) that's a good look for you. i'm glad you like it. -i'd jump your bones, but... some other time. i never knew that you were so... brave. i'm not. -i'm scared shitless. that doesn't mean you're not brave. that just means that you're smart. lori... forget it. -i'm not leaving you here. i'm sorry, lori. shut up. i mean it, lori. you really know how to get under my skin. -that's one of the things you love about me. actually, it's one of the things i'm going to change about you. so i have that to look forward to. don't be sad. -we should've stayed in bed... and just looked at the picture every once in a while. i told you. or gone to hawaii. hawaii's nice. -i'll bet that's where they're going. who?

-if they're such hotshots, why do they pay you by the day? you know what really bugs me? that you're just like daddy! he kept my poor mother's hands tied all his life. and every time he gets drunk, he calls her names and sends her to the kitchen. -i'm not tying your hands. go, if that's what you want. but i'm afraid. kitten, how can you be afraid? i'm a big girl, don't you trust me? -besides, three months fly by so fast. we'll talk on the phone. silly... promise? it's late, i have to go. -tomorrow we'll get out of bed just for eating. want some?

how long before your wife comes back? -the worst is behind me. you must be brave to let her with arabs. she's there with work. really? where do you think my wife found someone else? -at work. listen to me: given the chance, they can't keep their eyes off men. the woman has to be domestic. times have changed. -especially where there's a lot of gold and men keep 5-6 wives. what if she gets caught up? what you gonna do? very well! if it makes her happy, fine with me. -but i don't think so, i've known her for a long time. didn't i tell you she loves me? what? take that cotton wool out of your ears! we could get robbed while you sleep like a baby! -yes?

-the nigerian cleaning lady gave it to me. it's for breast enlargement. two teaspoons a day. you're not taking that. that's rubbish. -i like you just the way you are, what's wrong with you? why not? i'd like to have bigger tits. atighter blouse fits differently. i think you were fooled. -no, i wasn't. the nigerian woman had very big tits. and she didn't have any in some pictures. i'm off. i'll be back by noon. -we had one in the kitchen, at work. bigger. i learned how to use it and it cleans very well. and a special detergent. tabs, you know? -the dishes squeak clean, it boils them for an hour and a half. it's too hot in here. there it is. this one? it's a brand name and on sale. -do we need this? yes, because when i come home from work the last thing i want is to do the dishes. i'll wash them. it costs as much as a chainsaw. are you trying to piss me off? -get over here? what? good thing he didn't see us. what? i left work early today, told them i was sick. -i didn't want him to see me now, i would've made a fool of myself. so what? you work late every night. you shouldn't have lied. daddy's girl. -you're so tanned. i missed you. hello, father. the city dwellers are here! let's go. -get the bags, your mother's waiting for you, she made you luscos, driving me wild all morning: i'm making luscos for my little irene! i brought you presents. not much, but they're from the heart. i brought you a hooka. -what's that? you'll see. i didn't even have time to visit, i worked so much. and the hotel gift shop was very expensive. but i hope you'll like them. -i'll cook something for you. an arabian dish i learned there. it's called... i forgot what. but i'll remember. -i also brought you a bag of sesame seeds. mommy's girl! hello! you go to the end of the earth, as if bucharest wasn't far enough. why are you so thin? -you're so lean. i'm not lean. are you working too hard? yes. i am. -i made a big pot of luscos. i hope you made something else too, aurel doesn't like it. don't let her work too hard. i'll eat it. are you hungry? -i set the table in the good room. don't stay in cabbage smell. need help? no. i made the bed in your room. -haven't you taken those presents out? i'll do it now. more bread? you never have enough! why are you so testy? -you should be glad that your child is home. better more than nothing. if it's too much, feed it to the dogs. have you set the table? of course. -let's eat, so that our sweet-lips have a reason to shut up. i burnt my finger! i'm taking this one to bucharest. it doesn't even look like you. you look like you could bite someone. -it was minus 20. and the wind... need help? no. is my sister coming? -yes. what's she doing? i called her cell and there's no answer. she took the little one to the clinic, he's always sick. but she'll be here. -fane? fane is coming in from brasov. i've sent him with a team to do the foundation for a villa. that's work. when are we leaving? -i don't know, we just got here. are you in a hurry? we'll see, we have time. give me that chopping board. did dad tell you? -you're sister is going to have a baby. why didn't she tell me? i'm gonna get her. she's secretive. here, for your father. -there. enough. you still don't know how to drink? cheers, in arabic. that's how they say it. -new things to learn. glad to be here. glad to have you. cheers for the second grandson. i'd like a girl. -when will you catch up? is there a problem? we'll have some. three! we still have time. -in bucharest, people have kids later. in bucharest... time flies. now you're 20, next thing you know you're old. you're old! let me pour you some more. -it's not that hard. see? the pyramids. this is gizeh. i've seen it on tv. -they're huge, see? and this one? this is a temple. who are those with the mustaches? you shouldn't have given him drink. -those are my bosses. his tongue will dry up if he has another one. i don't know who that is. turn the tv down. there's a camel. -uncle, uncle! here he is! am i invisible? look. hello. -how are you, sis? stop with all the kissing. i came to see what you brought me. nothing for you. because you keep everything a secret. -pictures. pictures from cohere. aurel, leave him alone. he had fever. you have a thing for this kid? -go to sleep. i'm not sleepy. come to mommy. who's that? i don't know. -those are my bosses. does mom know? when do you want to go? tomorrow morning. we'll find him there, at the office. -i've talked to him and he's expecting us. are you sure this is right? aurel is a friend of his cousin and maybe he'll find out, shouldn't you tell him? he hasn't kept in touch with anyone around here. but that's the honest way, talking. -why don't you guys talk? he's a good man, you know. is there any coffee left? take mine, i'd better not drink it. here's some sugar. -it's good. i'm going up the mountain in the morning with the guys. very well. go, i have something to do with voichita. your boots are here or home? -they'll give me a pair. what are you guys doing? i'll explain later. fane was looking for you. where is he? -in the backyard. don't you dare tell him about the lawyer. i'm sorry. i don't understand anything. stop smoking. -it's getting in my nose. they're light. what's going on in bucharest? well... people are rather strange. -say you and i are talking, right? i don't know if you want to hurt me or help me. how's work? it's hard to just look around. tough job. -we have to get back to bucharest tomorrow with the eleven o'clock train. i talked to the guys, cobe took a day off, pantiliu and... will you shut up? the company just called, i have to be in cairo on monday. i have to get ready, pack... -why should you leave again? i don't know why, but they said they need me there. it's good sign, right? you said you wouldn't be leaving anymore. i did, but i'm leaving. -it's me. i wanted to check if your cold was getting better. everything is alright here. i bought a blue laundry basket. they called from home yesterday. -voichita's calcium level dropped, but she's fine. maybe you'll give her a call. and call me too. bye. hello. -who is it? is that you, kitten? why are you upset? wait, i can't hear you. why do you have to work at his home? -and that's why you're upset? you can look for a job somewhere else. no, i didn't say i don't want you back home but... i'm not pinching myself. very well. -come home, we'll figure things out. quit. just don't feel bad afterwards is all i'm saying. i'm not shouting. kitten, are you crying? -hello? what are you doing, sneaking up behind me? do you want to give me a heart-attack? i'm sorry. four hundred thousand for a pair of underwear. -i'd rather set myself on fire. my wife is coming tomorrow. so what? i want to stay with her. if you need help, just tell me. -i may look old, but i can manage. i tried to get a day off but they told me the schedule is already plotted. cover my shift, will you? nothing goes on around here anyway. well, you'd better bring me something from egypt. -hello? speaking. who? where are you calling from? yes, i was on my way to pick her up. -when? are you sure? how? hello. hello. -i'm irina jianu's husband. yes. kitten. i'm mioara. come in. -could you move those boxes faster? come in. have a seat, please. she was supposed to come back by two but she hasn't. i want to know why she hasn't come back. -they could've postponed the departure. it happens. if it were postponed, she would have called. something's wrong... let me check, have a seat. -you're right, she should have been back. can't we call and ask? you're going to ask me for a cup of coffee, eventually. could you get a coffee for mr. kitten? it's ringing. -sabah el kheir. and she was worried about you... what? irina killed herself. first you tell me you won't be coming and then i find you here. -jianu, i have high blood pressure. i drank coffee to stay awake 'till tomorrow morning, even though the doctor said it's bad for me; but you don't care. did it bother you that i asked you to bring me something? i don't need anything. -take your egypt and shove it. you're through with me. mister jianu? it was me you talked to on the phone. officer madalin stan. -have a seat! your id, please. read, please. this is the radiogram we received from the consulate. write down you were informed, date, hour and your signature! -we file this. you keep this, give me the pen. i'll give you a file. now tell me who will pay for repatriation, about 4500 euros. i understand your wife was there with work. -maybe you should discuss this issue with the company. even though she committed suicide. this is my wife! does she look like a suicide to you? file this, maybe you'll need it. -mister jianu, i have here your phone numbers, we'll keep you updated on the investigation. that would be all. here is your id. mister jianu! the visa takes 3 days. -i need to be there very soon. it's the investigation of my wife's death and i need to be there. it's very important. i can only make you an appointment at ambassador badran, tomorrow between 16 and 18 pm he will be at the embassy. for an emergency visa, right? -please help me with the accommodation and a translator, i don't speak either english or their language. i'll manage with the plane ticket. coke, coffee? i talked to somebody there. -they started questioning everyone, from doorkeepers to bosses. next. he says they're sorry, irina was nice, hard-working, but they wanted to hire her here, not in cairo, like she wanted. she wanted in romania, not in cairo. no, that's why she was upset, because there was nothing available there. -tell him he's lying! i can't! let me tell him about the money. why do you want to go to cairo? to see the pyramids! -he says they already paid a lot for the formalities, it wasn't their job and he can't offer more. if he doesn't pay my plane ticket, i'll turn them in for employing illegally! what? ! i told you he was kind, that he would give you the money! -you buy the ticket and he pays you the money. hello? speaking. yes. they did the autopsy? -why put her in coffin? don't do that. please, i'm coming there, don't do anything before i come! don't put her in the coffin, on my responsibility! hello? -mister? nobody called from the consulate and every time i called, they leave me on hold! i'm going to cairo! haven't you read the radiogram? the coffin comes tomorrow, why would you leave? -don't worry, the investigation is in progress. suicide or anything else, we'll figure it out. do you need a file? no, thank you. mr. director, excuse me, but this woman couldn't have committed suicide. -take a look: she was beautiful, smart. this is her cv. she had applied for a computer course before she left. before she left, we went shopping. -she bought a purse, a dress and shoes. in total, 4 million 3 hundred and 20 thousand lei. she was happy. and we loved each other! i don't think she committed suicide. -not on my life! do you understand? what's your name? jianu aurel. just a moment, please. -petrescu, give me jianu file, please. who is in charge? officer stan. call stan! yes. -mr. jianu, the autopsy revealed that your wife had consumed alcohol along with medication pills. she never drank alcohol. she practiced athleticism in high-school. and she had the usual travel-medication: aspirin, saprosan... -she had injected something in her vein. it is still unknown what. calcium. her level was low. when she was feeling weak, she injected herself a phial. -is possible that your wife's death was caused by toxic substances along with alcohol. why don't i have these documents? mr. jianu, of whom's case you are in charge with, is unsatisfied with some information and he considers this suspicious. mr. director, i explained to mr. jianu a few minutes ago, that when the body will be repatriated, we will receive all the documents he needs. it wasn't possible until now, arab countries have a different rhythm, communication is slow, you can't rush them. -mr. jianu, i understand your situation, but you have to understand that these things take time. certain methods, certain procedures. clear? officer stan who is in charge with your case, has been working for the foreign office for nine years and he is doing a very good job. please, come into my office, i'll explain it once again. -please! so, was i right? you got stiffed? your lovely wife didn't come back home. she loved it there, with the arabs. -there's no way around. she's young and pretty. hard to admit? stop waiting. you shouldn't have let her go. -admit it. at least now. she didn't come back because she died. that's why! she is dead! -are you satisfied? leave me alone! i didn't know, kid. how tragic! i'm sorry. -what happened? hello. what are you expecting? my wife. you have to sign. -here. here is the transport form. everything alright? condolences. where are we going now? -the cause of death is unknown. see? if you haven't got anything arranged at a chapel, go to morgue. if you pay, they will keep her in the freezer. i'm just saying. -that's where i put my mother-in-law until i had the papers. she had alzheimer and no papers. easy! come on! i'll wait in the car. -ok. hello. your papers. they were like this? no, they were... -canned. we'll put her in like this. if you're good at it can you open it up? i want to see her. it's not that i'm not good at it, it's just that these are opened only at the autopsy. -bring this when you pick her up. you can do the autopsy only with the approval of the prosecutor's department. how much is it? depending on what you want. i want to know what happened. -depending on the examination you want. excuse me, i came for georgescu loan. are you family? yes. your id. -let me see what you got. yes. do it again and come back. it is unclear what the plaintiff is demanding. yes, better. -now go to the countryside, to the prosecutor's department attached to the local court of justice. please help me solve this here. i know it sounds complicated but it's actually simpler because you go directly to the source. in cases like this, jurisdiction is territorial. thank you. -mister. yes. the application. change the heading and use it again, it's very good. hello? -hello, voichita. me... yes, she came back. no, she's not alright at all. she's dead. -they've sent her encased in tin. don't know. they say suicide. i know. i don't know yet. -off to sleep, jianu aurel. be careful! if i catch you sleeping on the job again, you can write your resignation, either in lyrics or in prose, your choice. clear? hello. -they've left her at some institute. morgue. he wants to do an autopsy, but can't get the coffin open, he needs some sort of paper, otherwise it's impossible. we need an approval from the prosecutor of the câmpina courthouse. why did he leave her among strangers? -tell him to take us to her quickly, they're waiting for us back home. take us to her. it's how she arrived, encased. he couldn't even open it. come, i want to be home by dusk. -tell him, from now on, we'll take care of her. we're off. both the consulate and the foreign office told me she had committed suicide. but i don't believe it... her drinking and taking drugs. -she had some trouble at work, but... she told me on the phone about it, but not like this to kill herself one day before she came back home. that's something else i don't believe. i went through all the papers and they kept her for twelve hours before the autopsy. why? -even if there was a holiday, the police, the hospital, forensics should be working, right? i've also looked carefully through her luggage. some things i knew she had with her are gone. i know she was messy, but with not with some things. we're near bran. -yes, he's here with me. no, she's in a tin box. there's room, we've put them side by side. how should i know? ok. -have you spoken with the priest? right. we'll drive safely. no, why does the priest have to know? he has to know she was sick, she got sick quickly. -yes. he's got all the papers. it's in arabic. ok, bye. she spoke with the priest, we'll go tomorrow at ten to the funeral and then we'll come home for the memory. -no. we can't bury her tomorrow. that would be a mistake. it would be a mistake to rush things now. we have to know what happened. -we can't leave things like this. what happened? i'll tell you. what happened is that she found you to suck the life out of her, that's what happened. if you were a decent man... -she wouldn't have left. she wouldn't have gone to the middle of nowhere. she wanted to buy you a house, for you to live properly. that's what happened. now what do you want, you bastard? -won't you leave her to rest in peace? go... wherever... curse the moment you passed my way. i didn't want her to leave. i can't live without her. -you think it kills you? you believe the writing on the pack? get real... it's not tobacco that kills us. neither smoking nor drinking nor the food. -those are fairytales. stress, our problems, this nasty life we live. that's what gets us all. look, my brother, god bless him, i buried him almost a week ago. he was fourth-three. -he didn't smoke, didn't drink, he ate weeds and seeds all his life. and he died like a lamb. multiple metastasis. the worst part is that he bore his own cross for over a year. told no one he was sick or had any pain. -and he was in pain. what a character. he told no one. no one knew a thing. not even his wife. -i don't know. i stay up at night, thinking how i never knew my brother. my brother with whom i've shared a bed all my childhood. and i knew nothing of his pain. and these are problems? -people are dying everyday. whatever... god bless her. god bless her. welcome, aurel. -don't listen to daddy, you know what he's like. better not go in. aurel is here. i've never seen such thing... this technique is from their mummies. -let's unwrap her. let's, but i've never done anything like this before. god bless. if i had known, i would've brought another pair of scissors. she had a mole on her armpit, it's gone. -what are you doing? stela, we need to... water! give him some air! that's not irina. -aurel, can you hear me? you're too upset... i don't know what you or anybody else thinks. i'm not fooled. that's not her. -i know it's hard. maybe the pain is too much for you, or you've gotten used to it, but it's clear to me. if i tell you that's my sister in there, will you believe me? they found a good one, but that's not her. i won't believe it. -i'm leaving. you're not going anywhere, worm. leave him, he doesn't know what he's doing. yes he does. you're going to stay here you bastard. -i'll make you carry her cross. that's not her. not her? stay here, you hear me? don't make me come after you, i'll kill you. -get over here bastard. worm! let him go! hello. mioara. -with mioara, please. aurel jianu. when will she be back from cairo? yes... thanks. -irina paraschiva julieta jianu, murder or slave trafficking. jianu. jianu, right. i'll give you a registration number. i'd like to talk to someone about the evidence i can provide. -i can leave you some hair from my wife and from the body they sent. and my cell phone, with several pictures. if the need should arise, we'll contact you. call back. when? -everyday from 8 to 16. hello, international center for police cooperation, how may we help you? do you think this is a circus? you sign up for a hearing and don't show up? you could've at least called. -what do you think? that his excellency is your puppy? i apologize. i don't mean to intrude actually. i need a copy of the visa form my wife used. -i want to know how she left, who invited her. and you're telling me this now? counsellor hassan will see you. unfortunately... sit, please. -our archives were drenched by water pipe a month ago and your wife's visa documents do not exist anymore. but the records show that your wife had a touristic visa. not from the company. sir, your excellency, besides the company that has vanished, that actually never existed because i've checked the trade register, there are many weird things related to my wife's death. her luggage is missing many items i knew she had with her. -a disposable camera with 36 shots, a notebook of great emotional value, a pair of heart shaped earrings, where are these? who took them? and why? maybe the police took them for their inquiry. -if they had, they should've reported it. like they've sent a document listing everything they had found in the hotel room. mister, i know, from the egyptian tourist police that you're wife had a love-affair. what? a romantic involvement, i'm sorry. -and that she wanted to stay in egypt. but her death was caused by the consumption of a toxic substance, understand? plant drug. in large amounts. mister understands? -that beats all! where do you come up with this stuff, drugs! ? she didn't drink coffee. didn't smoke. -you want to tarnish her memory by implying she was a slut and a junkie. do you think such rubbish will make me quit? that's what you want, right? is that why documents go missing? and why you're lying to my face? -the hearing is over. i've told you everything i know. you're working with the traffickers. where's irina? where's irina, mister? -enough. how long do i have to wait? 'till i'm murdered? please call me back in ten minutes. you keep sugar coating me and i haven't received any documents. -no autopsy report, no inquiry results... please, sit. come on... please, calm down. a courier left cairo today carrying all the documents. -see? everything works out. this is the autopsy report and an autograph on the inquiry synopsis. signed... received... -mr. stan? mr. stan is working out of office. some more of your wife's things. a mirror, a notebook, a camera. sign for these here. -farewell. what, is something wrong? what is this? what the hell is this? are you kidding me? -wait a minute. i mean come on... let's take a look. look. see? -if we look carefully, we can see a note that clearly states that within a maximum of 15 business days you will receive a translation from the justice department's authorized bureau. 50 new lei. that's 500 thousand. lady, this isn't mine. whatever. 40 then. -yes? the arabic translation. you drove me nuts with this. with emergency tax, 350. 3 million 500? -how much for the page? mister, really? it says how much right here. you've asked me hundreds of times. this says she was 10 weeks pregnant. -i've seen things get mixed up around here. could it be a mistake? i gave you what the translator has sent me. i have no idea what it says nor do i care. please, could we give the translator a call, to ask him again. -just to be sure. and what else? aren't you going to go home? what's your problem? you've been bugging me since this morning. -maybe i've had enough. goodbye! i came on to her... slow... no questions, nothing in return... -and eventually she came around. no, it was because of her divorce. she was... but i liked her... and now... -she died of heart failure aged 28. with our baby in her belly. i knew nothing of your trouble. why didn't you tell me? maybe we could've helped you. -i know some people. listen, if you want, i could recommend you as a security guard for a villa in baneasa. no, i don't need it. i only came here because of my wife. i've had enough of bucharest. -hello. what are you doing here? when did you arrive? why haven't you stopped by? you'll stop by, won't you? -i can't until tuesday. and i'm leaving on tuesday. back to bucharest? to cairo. i have a plane ticket. -why would you go there? irina was pregnant. and i need to know. mine or someone else's. i won't be able to rest otherwise. -don't feel bad about it. we all make mistakes, try to forgive her. i have no reason to forgive her. she was my wife and she loved me. stop by us. -daddy is sick. you know how we call the little one? aurelian. i'll stop by when i get back. goodbye, grannie. -cheers. what brings you here to the countryside? visiting the cemetery. what are you doing with these? we're planning the lay-out for a round. -you coming with us? there's voichita. hi, guys. aurel, come please. sit down. -i need to give you something before you leave. what is it? it came in last week. it's the divorce papers. the last time you were here, my sister left me some documents that i needed to deliver to a lawyer. -she wanted a divorce. she was my sister but she didn't love you anymore. maybe she was upset at the time. i didn't want to buy her a dishwasher. and i've spoken to the guys about going up the mountain. -she hated that. she was scared i'd get hurt. she was worried. i have to go. take them, i don't need them. -i'll stop by when i get back. give this to gabitu... from me... take care of yourself. aren't you coming next week with us? -no, i'm not. i'm going to cairo. what are you doing in cairo? cheers! cheers! -come to bed. it's 4:00 a. m. and you have to be at work in three hours. i know, i'm almost finished. you said that two hours ago. five more minutes. -i'm counting. enough studying. gloria, gloria! oh, my god, ernesto! ernesto! -no! no! you told me to get us into the penthouse. yeah, by following my plan, parker. what? -by getting us all in safely. did the elevator decapitate you? did it decapitate you? actually, from this angle it looks pretty close on the decapitation. hey, ford, you need to go talk to her. -it's not the first time she's gone loco. i'm serious. parker? parker? i think what everyone's feeling is that if you want to take insane risks on your own time, then go ahead. -but when we're on a job, you have to consider the rest of us. excuse me. this isn't for me. it's addressed to somebody named alice white. you are alice white. -it's one of the aliases i made for you. vegetarian, bookkeeper. she had a pretty wild time at her sister's wedding in phoenix. you should check out her facebook page. alice white has jury duty. -damn, i am good. yeah. congratulations. alice thanks you for getting her out of it. no. -no. jury duty, a place where you have to follow instructions. where you have to consider other people's point of view. there's going to be normal people there. no, no, no. -you're not getting out of this. alice white is reporting for jury duty. subtitles edited by ehhhhtozebec ernesto vargas was a husband, a father of two daughters, a warehouse manager and he went to night school. he needed more energy. -so he bought this. fast life. it's an all-natural energy supplement that was produced by that man, william quint. we'll show that fast life caused ernesto vargas' fatal heart attack. and that mr. quint knew the dangers that his product posed when he put it on the market. -all ernesto wanted was more time. and that's the only thing we can't give him. i hope the rest of this case is this good. what did you have for breakfast? you smell like gravy. -order. mr. lewis, are you ready to make your opening statement? yes, your honor. ladies and gentlemen. do it just like we rehearsed, henry. -it's been tailor made for this jury. we all want to believe that future tragedies can be prevented if we hold someone, anyone, accountable. maintain eye contact, you're losing juror number four. but common sense will tell you that not all tragedies can be prevented. and when you rush to judgment, lives are ruined and an honest businessman can have his life's work destroyed. -who is she? what is she looking at? alice white, bookkeeper. she's been zoning in and out all morning. could be confused. -nothing's more dangerous than the confused when they think they know something. so, my video wall, plus live tv and full sunday action in hd. it's incredible. what do you think? great. -right? right? yeah. i think it's funny. you know, it reminds me a bit of rugby, except, well, you americans, you wear the helmets and the pads and everything, so you don't get hurt. -oh, you didn't. what? ah, parker, how is juror number six today? good, okay, here it is... oh, fumble. -i think there's something dirty going on with this trial. and that the woman who lost her husband is going to get hurt even worse, and that we should, you know, get involved. involved? what are you... could you... -no, no, no. you don't understand. they had hidden cameras, and the lawyers had coms, like our com. first, move. second, nobody has our coms. -parker, listen, there is not some evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine civic activity. i make our com. me, i make them. ain't nobody got our com, do what i do. now, what's happening is you're on a boring jury trial, okay? -now, could you... parker! just... all right. you know, she's never done that before. -what, stormed out? come on. no, asked for our help. what? listen, there's a reason we put her in a jury trial. -you know what, man? when i was a... i was a kid, i was like eight years old, i had a foster mom who was jehovah's witness. she used to dress me up in a suit and a bow tie and take me door to door to spread the word. -black neighborhoods, white neighborhoods, it didn't matter. i would kick, i'd scream or whatever, but she would say, "alec, you need to learn how to talk to people. " see, everything i learned about people i learned ringing doorbells and in a bow tie. -parker never had that. i mean, jumping from a skyscraper? she's cool. but making small talk, it's like pure terror. just cut her some slack. -how about them, boys? come on. what'd i miss? nothing. eliot, going to need you to go with parker to check something out. -all right. yeah, now. right now? yeah, right now. yeah. -right now? yeah. you just go get parker and... thanks for the beer. i'll tell you what, this is not happening, bubba. -you ain't taking my beer. i'm outside. you're late. hey. i just spent eight hours sitting in a plastic chair while some ambulance chaser called me a killer. -i paid for that chair. if you don't like it, go home and suck back some incense. always a pleasure, miss earnshaw. who's earnshaw? hardison? -i'm on it. i think maybe i should settle this case and be done with it. it's not up to you anymore. you want to buy my company, buy it. you don't, don't. -but it's my tuchas that's on the line here. the only thing you have on the line is your penny ante granola company. i could lose everything. winning is the only option. you go behind my back and try to settle this case, -i will bury you. are we clear? that kind of jury profiling costs a fortune. at the trial they said quint's company was tiny. now we see what they see. -damn. they hacked the courtroom security feed and planted their own cameras. that's what i would have done. they got there first. all right, we have a new client. -apparently there is an evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. gloria vargas is suing william quint over the wrongful death of her husband. now it should be a simple, low stakes wrongful death suit... but quint has help. tobey earnshaw of earnshaw pharmaceutical. -her father founded the company and he's still ceo. why does a drug heiress care about a lawsuit against a tiny supplements company? 'cause without telling daddy or the executive board, earnshaw sank 20 million into rd for fast life, in anticipation of buying the company. now if live herbally loses this trial, then thousands of other lawsuits just like it will fall out of the sky. -the buyout falls through. yeah, and earnshaw's out on her ass. to protect an investment she knows kills people, earnshaw is going to destroy this young widow. well, then we have to win the court case for gloria. -we can't. no, guys, we got into this way too late. i mean, the best we can hope for is to con quint into a settlement. no, earnshaw took settlement off the table. so, then, you know, we try to convince him to put it back up. -hello. earnshaw ran a credit check on alice white. who's alice white? you are. whoa! -she's going to buy the jury. not if we steal it first. who plays chess? i play. yeah, of course you do. -all right, a chess game has three stages, right? i mean, you got your opening, you have middle and end game. in the opening you want to take control of the board and you want to line up your attack and you want to protect the king, which, ironically, is the weakest piece you have. you know this is a trial, right? earnshaw has already overpowered the vargas defense. -and she's buying a juror. now that is a fast, aggressive opening gambit. really, so we need to break her momentum here. this is what we do, so, parker, what i need you to do is i need you to, we need to stall the trial. -so you're going to get all of those jurors to trust you. how? conversation, compliments. saying... you're going to be fine. -okay. okay. and this is emily, she's the eldest. and her sister anne and little charlotte. she's the baby of the family. -oh, that one's really cute. what's wrong with that one? it looks like a dog in a baby suit. figure out what her line of attack is. go digging. -figure out who her pawn on the jury is. i've got financial traces on all the jurors' accounts. maybe it shows up as cash in a suitcase? go digging. it's your turn to be in the dumpster. -no, man, no, i... i have peanut allergies. what if somebody threw in some extra crunchy skippy? then, you know, it's just... all up in my vocal area. -do you want to give me mouth to mouth? no, none of us want that, hell no. heads up. sophie, go after our king. olivia smythe pattel. -chief marketing officer of mumbai international limited. mumbai? indian. half. british father, indian mother. -namaste. i'm very spiritual. your reputation precedes you. well, i have a zen garden. mumbai is looking to branch out from prescription medications into the herbal supplement market. -we were thinking an acquisition would be the best play. you want to buy my company? i'm sorry, i already have another offer. no, what you have is a joke. now you have an offer. -i retain stock options? control of the company? that's... much, much better than earnshaw is offering you. mr. quint, every ceo of every company that earnshaw has bought has been forced into early retirement. -as soon as she buys you out, she kicks you out. we prefer to keep the man that built this company, honor the spirit that built this house. how much money are we talking? you serious? i flew 14,000 kilometers to give you that number. -that's a very long trip. that's a very long number. quint's on the hook. he went to mumbai international limited's website to check out sophie. it's a real company? -cover story's better that way. just changed this to this. nice. anything in the garbage? well, juror number one, that's the jury foreman, there's nothing hinky in his finances, but in his garbage i found an envelope for a passport, a receipt for two tickets to fiji, luggage, these. -yeah, wrappers for us cash, yeah. somebody came into cash and just had to count it. they paid off the jury foreman. okay, today did not go well, but that's all right. you know, we learn when we fail. -we're gonna go back to basics and we're gonna do a little role-play. we're going to start with persuasion techniques. so eliot has an apple. alice has an orange. i love apples. -apples are my favorite fruit. good for you, sparky. i don't have to sit here and take this. come on, just do it for me. you have an orange, all right? -now convince me that i want the orange, not the apple. i'm gonna take a bite. you... i put a razor blade in that apple. are you serious? -maybe. but do you know what doesn't have a razor blade in it? this orange. don't you want it? you fell for that? -thanks. the foreman's the pawn? make him go away, parker. thanks. sorry, excuse me. -that's okay. can i help you? excuse me. excuse me. oh, sure. -thanks. hey, you got the time? mmm-hmm. excuse me, has anyone seen my watch? it was a gift from my grandfather. -my locket, someone stole my locket. somebody... oh, my... hold on, i... i have no idea where that came from. -he stole all of our stuff. i didn't do that. thanks. sorry, excuse me. excuse me. -excuse me. excuse me. thanks. did somebody else lose a watch? yeah. -there you go. hey, i know who our new foreman should be. yeah, yeah! here's to the new foreman. yes. -to alice. the jury foreman? i know. you said it was in the bag. mr. quint, i am who i am today because i know how to turn every failure into a success. -i work every angle, i anticipate every contingency. hello? mr. richards. i'd love to talk to you about some exciting retirement opportunities. where's the vargas lawyer? -no, i have no idea. the bailiff just said he didn't show up. you heard? what happens if the vargas' lawyer just disappears? mistrial. -but earnshaw needed a win. close enough. mistrial means they'll have to start all over again. gloria vargas can't afford any more lawyers, she'll have to drop the suit. we take a pawn, earnshaw takes a knight. -and lucky for us, we have more than one. all rise, court is now in session. the honorable judge durham presiding. be seated. mrs. vargas, do you have any idea where your attorney is? -mrs. vargas, i may have no choice but to declare a mistrial. forgive my tardiness, your honor. i'll be acting as attorney for the plaintiff. i don't understand. i'm joseph miller, i'm your new court-appointed attorney. -they have court-appointed attorneys for civil lawsuits? do you trust your government, miss vargas? why, yes, of course. then let me handle this. he's never going to win this case. -no, he's just, uh... may i approach the bench, your honor? ... stalling for time. long enough for quint to take your offer. come on up. -your honor, i don't like to trash talk. but my predecessor was not as thorough as he could have been when presenting this case. for example, i would like to add some witnesses to the witness list. is that a high school yearbook? -yes it is. you see, my intent is to show that ernesto vargas led an active and very vibrant life. and these 430 people will testify that he did so even as a youth. motion denied. oh, okay. -you know, i have photos that i would like to introduce, from a vacation, the opposing counsel waterskiing. it's all from his website, very public. i object. as well you should. you shouldn't be doing that. -seriously. i mean, you don't have the body. counselor, anything else? actually, i have quite a few more things. -i just feel like he went on and on forever this morning. i'm starving. me, too. i could kill for a steak. wait, i thought you were a vegetarian. -oh, yeah, i meant a bean steak. a steak made out of beans, held together with soy glue. alice, we all cheat a little. i mean, i'm a nutritionist and i spend all day teaching people to eat healthy. but if i have a bad day, i go home and plow into a tub of ice cream. -wait. wait a second. that was a secret. you just told me a secret, right? that's something friends do. -well, i guess so. i mean, you're the nicest one here. really? i mean, thanks. who is this guy? -i want every frame of this footage analyzed. i want the analysts working overnight. i need to ask you something. lunch is almost over, get back to the trial. joseph miller, georgetown pre-law, harvard law with honors? -this can't be right. this guy's hourly rate has to be more than what our grieving widow makes in a month. ma'am, it all checks out. unless gloria vargas found some guy who created a cia level cover story and fake identity. what's my position after the sale? -i know, after the sale, i have stock. but what am i doing in the company? making pottery in new mexico. whatever you'd like to do with your free time, mr. quint. but what if i want to stay? -i have invested millions into live herbally. i have invested millions into this trial. whatever you want is irrelevant. why did you offer me that much money? getting nervous about your trial? -it's twice what my company's worth. wait, who's that? the guy talking to the vargas lawyer? no, her. raid quint's computer, his calendar, his emails, pull out the call logs and the gps records from his phone. -i want to know who that is. india's a very exciting place right now, mr. quint. millions of locals working outsourced american jobs, telemarketers, customer service, almost exclusively working graveyard shift. millions of people who desperately need to stay awake. fast life would be a sensation in india. -how many sales are we talking? india has a billion people. all i need is for you to settle your current legal matters. we can't go into business with you with bad press. earnshaw says if we settle, we open ourselves up to other lawsuits. -we don't care about more lawsuits. with a billion people in the workforce, a few deaths won't raise an eyebrow. government won't crack down? mr. quint, it takes five years to get a parking permit. this trial's got me pinned down. -i need to see your operations. of course. well, i could... i could arrange a video conference call with our home office. of course, mumbai is 12 hours ahead of time, so it'll have to be around midnight tonight. -shall i send a car to pick you up? inches away. i cannot stall any longer. now listen, this is the middle game. this is where we trade pieces, we look for weaknesses. -you have to buy sophie a little more time to maneuver. i literally cannot make this slower or any more boring. okay, you know why they say justice wears a blindfold? so you can't see that justice is asleep. i am sure there's whole reservoirs of boring you have yet to plum. -slide 162. this is good stuff. dr. gold, for a pie, can you tell us how the chemicals work their way into the neurotransmitters? is this going anywhere, counselor? oh, i assure you, your honor, the next 100 slides are essential. -mumbai international limited already has a presence in the urban centers. with fast life, we believe we can expand across the entire continent. i have to say i'm impressed. as we are with you. it's not every day we can do business with someone so enlightened. -well, it's not every day i get an offer from someone like miss smythe pattel. sir, they are waiting for you. i think you'll find us a nurturing corporation to grow with. you'll pardon me, i'm running late. -yes, thank you for your time. thank you, avi. so? i need to sleep on it. i'm afraid i can't give you much more time. -settle your lawsuit, mr. quint. then i'm sure we can do business together. hey, good. he's good, huh? what did i tell you? -thank you for coming in on such short notice, donnie. do not fuss yourself, laddie. what are friends for? exactly. beer's on me. -oh, you remember that? he's very good. what did i tell you? hey, is this something alice would wear? yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, relax. -you know what? quint is going to call us and settle before we even get to court. oh. i guess alice wasn't so bad. her shoes are more comfortable than mine. -that's because they're your shoes. she likes rainy days. guys, take a look at this. are you kidding? wow. -i can't believe this. earnshaw bought mumbai. she's protecting her investment, eliminating the competition. we are so screwed. she just spent millions of dollars on a company i don't really work for. -sign here. do you have any idea what is happening here? just sign the papers. how did she even know we were talking a deal? they're not just watching the jury room, they're watching quint. -reading his emails, tracing his phone. they probably got a few guys on him. what are we supposed to do now? we win the trial. well, i'm sorry, the impossible trial? -the trial that can't be won? yep, that one. no, no, no, no, look. wait, what are you talking, come on? you told me all i had to do was stall. -i can't win a real jury trial. why not? i'm not a real lawyer. i'm a pretend lawyer. i'm a fake. -this is fake. oh, come on, you don't think that so-called real lawyers aren't just pretending and trying to be in daddy's shoes? come on. by the way, the guy you're going up against is getting lines fed to him from someone in a warehouse. nate, i already rested my case, okay? -all i have left is my cross-examination of the expert and my closing. the jury is 12 people. just talk to them. you've been doing it your whole life, just put on your bow tie and ring the doorbell. i can't do it. -i can't convince a whole jury. we worked on persuasion tactics all week. you did really well. yeah, with you guys. but the people on this jury are normal. -there isn't a single normal person on this jury. the old lady who knits potholders at lunch isn't normal? the one who keeps showing you pictures of her grandchildren? have you noticed anything unusual about the photographs? no. -well, she hasn't seen those grandchildren in years. she's lying to everyone that they're still one big happy family. you don't know that. parker, i read people for a living, that's my thing. -okay, charlie, the messenger guy. you know, the one with five kids? gay? bulimic. trevor, the frat boy, however, yeah, super gay. -what about peggy? actually, peggy is disgustingly normal. but the rest of them, they all have their own alice white. you just... you just happened to give yours a name. -okay, we don't have court today, but we do have some work to do. am i going to like this work? not the first part. we're following quint now. come on. -hey, where'd this guy come from? you all right? man! i planted the device in quint's engine, took care of the guys that earnshaw sent after quint, and you should have him in three, two, one. -problem? where the hell are you? i'm close to resting my case. my car just died. i'll get there when i can. -are you sure you know what you're doing? are you kidding? i've been off the grid for years. don't get me wrong. electric car's a good way to start, but you can make fuel from your own bodily waste. -do you compost? the feeling when you close a digestive to an internal combustion cycle... look, i called aaa. you don't have to do this. no, it's... -it's okay. here's your problem right here. where? it's just right here. that? -if you just look at that you'll see where your problem is. i'm looking, but i don't know much about cars. i can't. i can't see anything at all. what is this? -mr. vargas had an enlarged aorta, possibly the result of rheumatic fever as a child. this is what caused his heart attack. so, in your medical opinion, what role did fast life play in mr. vargas' death? it played no role whatsoever. no further questions, your honor. -your witness, mr. miller. i'm sorry. for what? me. you deserve better. -you're the best lawyer we ever had. thank you so much. we're waiting, mr. miller. right away, your honor. dr. potemkin, this is not your first time testifying as an expert, is it? -no, it is not. no, no, in fact, you've testified all across the country. houston, chicago, st. louis, is that correct? yes. that is until last year. -for the last 12 months you've testified only in the state of california? that sounds right. objection. relevance? it goes to his qualifications, your honor. -now for this last year, you only testified in trials that you could drive to. i wouldn't characterize it like that. but is that because you're on the us government's no fly, or as it's more commonly known, the terrorist watch list? i'm on the list, but i'm not a terrorist. the us government seems to think so. -why else would they put you on a list with such people as osama bin laden? sheikh khalid muhammad? look, yes. i'm on the no fly... terrorist, terrorist. -no fly list. but it has nothing to do with terrorism. there was an incident... oh, incident, okay. would that happen to be the incident on flight 732 out of st. louis where you fondled a flight attendant's buttocks? -or would that happen to be the incident on flight 1433 out of chicago, where you drank 17 tiny margaritas, you took your pants off, you stood up on the drink cart, and you sang, quote, "i'm a sexy monkey. " i have no recollection of that. i'm not surprised. because it was not one, it wasn't two, but it was 22 incidents of drunk and belligerent, grab-ass-behavior that landed you on that list, am i right? objection. -counselor. now, you know what, your honor, the us government has determined that this man is not qualified to ride on an airplane, like osama bin laden. how is this jury supposed to rely on him to render a sound, medical opinion? it doesn't... no further questions. -i'm in recovery. we are done. you may step down, dr. potemkin. sophie, give me an update. i've hit three out of five. -okay, wrap it up. hardison's about to give his closing statement. mr. miller? you know, a week ago you were all strangers and then the same thing happened to all of you. you got that envelope, you know the one, comes in the mail, that says, "county of los angeles" on the top, you open it like this, "oh, god," you know? -a week passes, you watch the witnesses parade through. you listen to the lawyers argue. and suddenly you're not strangers anymore. some of you have even made friends. it's not as bad as you thought, right? -but then the judge asks you to deliberate and then you have a moment of doubt. i'm not a doctor, i'm not a scientist, how can i tell if ernesto vargas died from using fast life? how can i be sure? but that envelope entrusted you with the most important obligation of citizenship. and that is to find the truth. -it's so important that we dare not give it to one person, but to 12 strangers. now all i ask is that you go into that room and you work together and you find the truth. i have faith that you'll reach a just decision. take it as a compliment. how's parker doing? -let's find out. it's the end game. all on her now. it's odd. what? -we take a juror and our juror gets removed. we take their lawyer, another lawyer shows up. a company tries to take quint, i take the company. it's almost... it's ridiculous. -okay, those are my arguments why i think we should decide, you know. now i'm just one of you guys, but that's how i feel. why don't we take a poll to see where everyone stands? who here finds in favor of the defendant live herbally? it's ours. -quint's on his way over, you can tell him the good news. we are not going to tell mr. quint anything. do you know why he didn't show up in court today? he called me on his cell, said his car broke down. i've been tracking quint via his phone's gps. -he told you his car was dead. but we've pinged him visiting several local offices of my top competitors. he was out there searching for a better offer. time to teach mr. quint about karma. any news? -not yet. let's talk business. now? before the verdict? i thought we were going to wait until after we'd won. -this trial has given me new perspective. now i know that your company does not just have one price, it has three. if you win the trial, your company is worth this much. that's a lot of money. assuming, of course, you can find someone willing to pay it. -and that's not going to be mumbai international limited, is it? if you lose the trial, your company is worth this much. but if you sell to me right now, your company is worth this much. i'm the one taking the risk here. chance. -certainty. now, mr. quint, i know that you are a spiritual man. just how much do you trust fate? you've made a good decision. hello? -jury's back. thank you. ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict? we have, your honor. madam foreman, please read the verdict. -in the matter of gloria vargas et al. v. live herbally incorporated, the jury finds in favor of the plaintiff. yes. oh, my god! in the amount of five million dollars. what! -thank you so much. this is unbelievable. what the hell just happened? who here finds in favor of the defendant live herbally? who wants pizza for lunch? -who here finds in favor of the defendant live herbally? who here finds in favor of the defendant live herbally? it's ours. you! this is your fault. -what are you talking about? you went looking for a better offer. we tracked you on your cell phone when you had your men beat up my security detail. men? what men? -i don't have men. i wear sandals. and i haven't been anywhere. sophie, give me an update. i've hit three out of five. -do you have an appointment, miss? no. but i was just leaving. remember me? looks like you should have settled. -oh, sweet mercy, cooked flesh. can we have fast food every time we make the bad guys go away? do you realize what you just did? what you did, you won a jury trial without cheating. without... -i had to hack the government no fly list and used it to humiliate a witness. excessively. cheating excessively, that's what i meant. but i mean, think about it, i mean, if you applied yourself, hardison, you could be anything you want. you know what? -i could, i could. you know, next week i think i'm going to be an astronaut. well, that's not really what i meant. i meant if you studied, you... yeah, yeah, if i do need to study... -no, i'm going to be a surgeon. a surgeon. er. a surgeon. hey, it's peggy from the trial. -she wants to have coffee next week. alice made a friend. i'm going to tell you one more time. you made a friend. not alice. -oh, cool, well. do you think she'll want to steal a painting with me? start small, parker. try coffee. leverage s1e11 -come to bed. it's 4:00 a.m., and you have to be at work in three hours. i know. i'm almost finished. you said that two hours ago. -five more minutes. i'm counting. enough studying. gloria. gloria! -ernesto. ernesto! no! no-o! i did my job. -you told me to get us into the penthouse. yeah, by following my plan, parker. what? by getting us all in safely. did the elevator decapitate you? -did it decapitate you? actually, from this angle, it looks pretty close on the decapitation. a4. you need to go talk to her. -it's not the first time she's gone loco. parker? i'm serious. parker, i think what everyone's feeling is that if you want to take insane risks on your own time, -then go ahead, but when we're on a job, you have to consider the rest of us. excuse me. this isn't for me. it's addressed to somebody named alice white. -youa realice white. it's one of the aliases i made for you -- vegetarian, bookkeeper. she had a pretty wild time at her sister's wedding in phoenix. you should check out her facebook page. -alice white has jury duty. damn, i am good. yeah, congratulations. alice thanks you for getting her out of it. no. -no. jury duty - a place where you have to follow instructions. where you have to consider other people's point of view. there's gonna be normal people there, nate. -no, no, no. you're not getting out of this. alice white is reporting for jury duty. capture: ·ëîµ sync: vine -ernesto vargas was a husband, a father of two daughters, a warehouse manager, and he went to night school. he needed more energy. -so he bought this. fastlife. it's an "all-natural energy supplement" that was produced by that man, william quint. -we'll show that fastlife caused ernesto vargas' fatal heart attack, and that mr. quint knew the dangers that his product posed when he put it on the market. all ernesto wanted was more time. and that's the only thing we can't give him. -i hope the rest of this case is this good. what'd you have for breakfast? you smell like gravy. order. mr. louis, are you ready to make your opening statement? -yes, your honor. ladies and gentlemen, do it just like we rehearsed, henry. it's been tailor-made for this jury. we all want to believe that future tragedies can be prevented -if we hold someone, anyone accountable. maintain eye contact. you're losing juror number 4. but common sense will tell you that not all tragedies can be prevented. -and when you rush to judgment... lives are ruined, and an honest businessman can have his life's work destroyed. who is she? what is she looking at? alice white -- bookkeeper. she's been zoning in and out all morning. -could be confused. nothing's more dangerous than the confused when they think they know something. so, my video wall plus directv nfl sunday ticket in hd. incredible. -what do you think? great. right. yeah. right? -i think it's funny. you know, it reminds me a bit of rugby, except - well, you americans, you wear the helmets and the pads and everything -so you don't get hurt. oh, you didn't. what? parker, how is juror number 6 today? good. -okay, here it is. fumble! i think there's something dirty going on with this trial and the woman who lost her husband's gonna get hurt even worse, and that we should, um, you know, get involved. -involved? what - what do you -- no, no, no. no, no, no. -you don't understand. they had hidden cameras, and the lawyers had comms like our comms. first, move. second, -nobody has our comms. parker, listen, there is not some evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine civic activity. i make our comms. me. -i make 'em. ain't nobody got our comms. now, what's happening is, you're on a boring jury trial. okay? now, could you... -parker! just... you know, she's never done that before. what, stormed out? come on. -no. asked for our help. what? listen, there is a reason we put her in a jury trial. you know, man, when i was a -- -when i was a kid, i was like 8 years old, i had a foster mom who was jehovah's witness. she used to dress me up in a suit and a bow tie and take me door-to-door to spread the word. black neighborhoods, white neighborhoods - -didn't matter. i would kick, i'd scream, or whatever, but she would say "alec, you need to learn how to talk to people." see, everything i learned about people, -i learned ringing doorbells and - and -- and being in a bow tie. parker never had that. i mean, jumping from a skyscraper, she's cool. -but making small talk? that's - it's like pure terror. just cut her some slack. how about them cowboys? -what'd i miss? nothing. all right. uh, eliot, gonna need you to go with parker to check something out. -all right. yeah. now. right now? yeah, right now. -yeah. like, now? yeah. just go get parker. thanks for the beer. -tell you what, this is not happenin', bubba. you ain't takin' my beer. i'm outside. you're late. hey, i just spent eight hours sitting in a plastic chair -while some ambulance chaser called me a killer. i paid for that chair. you don't like it, go home and suck back some incense. always a pleasure, ms. earnshaw. who's earnshaw? -hardison? i'm on it. think maybe i should settle this case and be done with it. it's not up to you anymore. you want to buy my company, -buy it. you don't, don't. but it's my toches that's on the line here -- the only thing you have on the line is your penny-ante granola company. -i could lose everything. winning is the only option. you go behind my back and try to settle this case, i will bury you. -are we clear? that kind of jury profiling costs a fortune. trial, they said quint's company was tiny. now we see... what they see. -damn. they hacked the courtroom's security feed and planted their own cameras. that's what i would've done. they got there first. -all right. we have a new client. apparently, there is an evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. -gloria vargas is suing william quint over the wrongful death of her husband. now, it should be a simple, low-stakes wrongful death suit. but quint has help. -tobey earnshaw, of earnshaw pharmaceuticals. father founded the company, and he's still c.e.o. why does a drug heiress care about a lawsuit against a tiny supplements company? -'cause without telling daddy or the executive board, earnshaw sank $20 million into rd for fastlife in anticipation of buying the company. see, live herbally loses this trial, then thousands of other lawsuits just like it -will fall out of the sky. the buyout falls through. yeah, and earnshaw's out on her ass. to protect an investment she knows kills people, earnshaw is going to destroy this young widow. -well, then, we have to win the court case for gloria. we can't. no, guys, we got into this way too late. i mean, the best we can hope for is to con quint into a settlement. -wait a minute. earnshaw took settlement off the table. oh. then, you know, we try to convince him to put it back on. hello. -earnshaw just ran a credit check on alice white. who's alice white? you are! you are! she's gonna buy the jury. -not if we... steal it first. who plays chess? i play. of course you do. -a chess game has three stages, right? i mean, you got your opening, middle, and end game. in the opening, you want to take control of the board, and you want to line up your attack and you want to protect the king, -which, ironically, is the weakest piece you have. you know this is a trial, right? earnshaw has already overpowered the vargas defense, and she's buying a juror. now, that is a fast, -aggressive opening gambit. really is. so, we need to break her momentum here. so, parker, what i need you to do is i need you to -- we need to stall the trial. -so, you're going to get all of those jurors to trust you. um... how? conversation. compliments. -you're gonna be fine. okay. okay. and this is emily. she's the eldest. -and her sister anne. and little charlotte -- she's the baby of the family. that one's really cute! what's wrong with that one? -it looks like a dog in a baby suit. figure out what her line of attack is. go digging. figure out who her pawn on the jury is. i've got financial traces on all the jurors' accounts. -and if it shows up as cash in a suitcase? go digging. it's your turn to be in the dumpster. no, man, no. i-i have -- -i have peanut allergies. what if somebody threw in some extra crunchy skippy? then, you know, it's just a all up in my vocal area, man. do you want to give me mouth-to-mouth? -no, none of us want that. hell no. heads up. sophie... go after her king. -olivia smithe-patel, chief marketing officer of mumbai international limited. mumbai? indian? half - -british father, indian mother. namaste. i'm very spiritual. your reputation precedes you. -i have a zen garden. mumbai is looking to branch out from prescription medications into the herbal-supplement market. we were thinking an acquisition would be the best play. you want to buy my company? -i'm sorry. i already have another offer. no, what you have is a joke. now you have an offer. i retain stock options, -control of the company. that's -- much, much better than earnshaw's offering you. mr. quint, every c.e.o. of every company -that earnshaw's bought has been forced into early retirement. as soon as she buys you out, she kicks you out. we'd prefer to keep the man that built this company, honor the spirit that built this house. uh, how much money are we talking? -you s- you serious? i flew 14,000 kilometers to give you that number. it's a very long trip. that's a very long number. -quint's on the hook -- he went to mumbai international limited's website to check out sophie. it's a real company? cover story's better that way. just, uh, changed this... -to this. nice. anything in the garbage? uh, juror number 1, that's the jury foreman. -there's nothing hinky in his finances, but in his garbage, i found an envelope from passport, receipt for two tickets to fiji, luggage, some of these. yeah, wrappers for u.s. cash, yeah. -somebody came into cash and just had to count it. they've paid off the jury foreman. okay, today did not go well, but that's all right. you know, we learn when we fail. -we're gonna -- we're gonna go back to basics, and we're gonna do a little role-playing. gonna start with -- with persuasion techniques. so, eliot has an apple. -alice has an orange. i love apples. apples are my favorite fruit. good for you, sparky. i -i don't have to sit here and take this crap. go on. just do it for me. you have an orange, all right? -now, convince me that i want the orange, not the apple. i'm gonna take a bite. i put a razor blade in that apple. are you serious? -maybe. but do you know whatdoesn't have a razor blade in it? this orange. don't you want it? you fell for that? -thanks. the foreman's the pawn? make him go away, parker. sorry. excuse me. -help you? excuse me. hey, do you have the time? excuse me. has anyone seen my watch? -it was a gift from my grandfather. my locket! someone stole my locket! oh, my! aw, geesh! -my wallet! i have no idea where that came from. he stole our stuff. i didn't do that! thanks. -sorry. excuse me. help you? excuse me. somebody else lose a watch? -there you go. hey, i know who our new foreman should be. here's to the new foreman. to alice. to alice. -jury foreman? i know. you said it was in the bag! mr. quint, i am who i am today -because i know how to turn every failure into a success. i work every angle. i anticipate every contingency. hello? mr. -richards. i'd love to talk to you about some exciting retirement opportunities. where's the vargas lawyer? i have no idea. -the bailiff just said he didn't showed up. you heard? what happens if the vargas' lawyer just disappears? mistrial. but earnshaw need a win. -close enough. mistrial means they'll have to start all over again. gloria vargas can't afford any more lawyers. she'll have to drop the suit. we take a pawn. -earnshaw takes a knight. lucky for us, we have more than one. all rise. ? the honorable judge kelly durham. be seated. -mrs. vargas, do you have any idea where your attorney is? mrs. vargas, i may have no choice but to declare a mistrial. forgive my tardiness, your honor. i'll be acting as attorney for the plaintiff. -i don't understand it. i'm joseph miller. i'm your new court-appointed attorney. they have court-appointed attorneys for civil lawsuits? do you trust your government, ms. vargas? -why, yes, of course. then let me handle this. he's never gonna win this case. he just has to stall for time... permission to approach the bench? -...long enough for quint to take your offer. come in up. uh, y-your honor, i don't like to trash-talk, but my predecessor was not as thorough -as he could have been when presenting this case. for example, i, uh -- i would like to add some witnesses to the witness list. is - is that a high school yearbook? -yes, it is. you see, my intent is to show that ernesto vargas led an active and very vibrant life, and these 430 people will testify that he did so even as a youth. -motion denied. o okay. um... you know, i have photos -that i would like to introduce from a vacation -- the opposing counsel water-skiing. it's all from his website -- very public. i object. -as well you should. you shouldn't be doing that. seriously? i mean, he doesn't have the body. counselor, -anything else? uh, actually... i have quite a few more things. i just feel like he went on and on forever this morning. i'm starving! -me too. i could kill for a steak. i thought you were a vegetarian. oh, yeah. i meant a bean steak -- -a steak made out of beans, held together with soy glue. alice, we all cheat a little. i mean, i'm a nutritionist, -and i spend all day teaching people to eat healthy. but if i have a bad day, i go home and plow into a tub of ice cream. wait! wait a second. -that was a secret. you just told me a secret, right? that's something friends do. well, i guess so. you're the nicest one here. -really? i mean, thanks. who is this guy? i want every frame of this footage analyzed. i want the analysts working overnight. -i need to ask you something. lunch is almost over. get back to the trial. joseph miller -- georgetown pre-law, -harvard law with honors -- this can't be right. this guy's hourly rate has to be more than what our grieving widow makes in a month. ma'am, it all checks out, -unless gloria vargas found some guy who created a c.i.a. level cover story and fake identity. what's my position after the sale? i know, after the sale, -i have stock, but what am i - what am i doing in the company? making pottery in new mexico. whatever you like to do with your free time, mr. quint. -well, what if i want to stay? i have invested millions into live herbally. i have invested millions into this trial. what ever you want is irrelevant. why did you offer me that much money? -getting nervous about your trial? it's twice what my company's worth. wait. who's that? the guy talking to the vargas lawyer? -no. her. raid quint's computer, his calendar, his e-mails. pull out the call logs and the gps records from his phone. -i want to know who that is. india is a very exciting place right now, mr. quint. millions of locals working outsourced american jobs -- telemarketers, customer service -- almost exclusively working graveyard shift. -millions of people who desperately need to stay awake. fastlife would be a sensation in india. how many sales are we talking? india has a billion people. all i need is for you to settle your current legal matters. -we can't go into business with you with bad press. earnshaw says if we settle, we open ourselves up to other lawsuits. we don't care about more lawsuits. with a billion people in the work force, -a few deaths won't raise an eyebrow. government won't crack down? mr. quint, it takes five years to get a parking permit. thi- this trial's got me pinned down. -i i need to see your operations. of course. well, i could, uh -- i could arrange a video conference call with our home office. -of course, mumbai is 12 hours ahead of time, so it'll have to be around midnight tonight. shall i send a car to pick you up? inches away. no, no. -no, i-i cannot stall any longer. now, listen, this is the middle game. this is where we trade pieces. we look for weaknesses. you have to buy sophie a little more time to maneuver. -i literally cannot make this slower or any more boring. okay, you know why they say justice wears a blindfold? so you can't see that justice is asleep. i am sure there's whole reservoirs of boring you have yet to plumb. -slide 162. this is -- this is good stuff. dr. goldfarb, hi. can you tell us how the chemicals work their way into the neurotransmitters? -is this going anywhere, counselor? oh, i assure you, your honor, the next hundred slides are essential. mumbai international limited already has a presence in the urban centers. with fastlife, we believe we can expand across the entire continent. -i have to say, i'm impressed. as we are with you. it's not every day we can do business with someone so enlightened. well, it's not every day i get an offer from someone like ms. smithe-patel. -i think that you'll find us a nurturing corporation to grow with. you'll pardon me. i'm running late. yes. thank you for your time. -thank you, avi. so? i need to sleep on it. i'm afraid i can't give you much more time. settle your lawsuit, mr. quint. -then i'm sure we can do business together. good. he's good. what i tell you? thank you for coming in on such short notice, donnie. -dinna fash yersel, laddie. what are friends for? exactly. beer's on me soon. oh, you remember tha. -he's very good. what i tell you? hey. uh, is this something alice would wear? yeah. -yeah, yeah, yeah. relax. you know what? quint is gonna call us and settle before we even get to court, so... -i guess alice wasn't so bad. her shoes are more comfortable than mine. that's because they're your shoes. she likes rainy days. guys. -look at that. are you kiding? i can't believe this. earnshaw bought mumbai. she's protecting her investment, eliminating the competition. -we are so screwed. she just spent millions of dollars on a company i don't really work for. sign here. do you have any idea what is happening here? -just sign the papers. how did she even know we were talking a deal? 'cause they're not just watching the jury room. they're watchingquint. reading his e-mails, -tracing his phone, probably got a few guys on him. what are we supposed to do now? we win the trial. i'm sorry. -the impossible trial? the trial that can't be won? yep. that one. no, no. -look, you told -- you told me all i had to do was stall. i can't win a real jury trial. why not? i'm not a real lawyer! -i'm a pretend lawyer. oh, come on, you don't think so-called real lawyers aren't just pretending and trying to be in daddy's shoes? by the way, the guy you're going up against is getting lines fed to him from someone in a warehouse. -nate, already rested my case, okay? all i have left is my cross-examination of their expert and my closing. a jury is 12 people. just talk to them. you've been doing it your whole life. -just put on your bow tie and ring the doorbell. i can't do it. i can't convince a whole jury. we worked on persuasion tactics all week. you did really well. -yeah, with you guys. people on this jury are normal. there isn't a single normal person on this jury. the old lady who knits potholders at lunch isn't normal? the one who keeps showing you pictures of her grandchildren? -have you noticed anything unusual about the photographs? no. well, she hasn't seen those grandchildren in years. she's -- she's lying to everyone -that they're still one big happy family. you don't know that. parker, i read people for a living. that's my thing. okay, charlie, the messenger guy -- -you know, the one with five kids? gay? bulimic. trevor, the frat boy, however - yeah, supergay. -what about peggy? actually, peggyis disgustingly normal. but the rest of them -- they all have their own alice white. you just - -you just happened to give yours a name. okay, we don't have court today, but we do have some work to do. am i gonna like this work? uh, not the first part. -we're following quint now. dang! where'd this guy come from? you all right? man! -planted the device in quint's engine, took care of the guys that earnshaw sent after quint. and you should have him in... three, two one. -problem? where the hell are you? i'm close to resting my case. my car just died. i'll get there when i can. -you sure you know what you're doing? are you kidding? i've been off the grid for years. don't get me wrong. electric car's a good way to start, -but you can make fuel from your own bodily waste. do you compost? the feeling when -- when you close the digestive-to- internal combustion cycle -- i called triple "a." -you don't have to do this. no, it's -- it's - it's okay. here's - -here's your problem right here. where? it's just right here. that? if you just look at that, you'll see where your problem is. -i'm looking, but i don't know much about cars. i can't see anything at all. what is this? mr. vargas had an enlarged aorta, possibly the result of rheumatic fever as a child. -this is what caused his heart attack. so, in your medical opinion, what role did fastlife play in mr. vargas' death? it played no role whatsoever. no further questions, your honor. -your witness, mr. miller. i'm - i'm sorry. for what? me. -you deserve better. you're the best lawyer we ever had. thank you so much. we're waiting, mr. miller. right away, your honor. -dr. patemkin... uh, this is not your first time testifying as an expert, is it? no, it is not. no, no. in fact, you've testified all across the country -- -houston, chicago, st. louis. is that correct? yes. that is, until last year. -for the last 12 months, you've testified only in the state of california? that sounds right. objection - relevance? -it goes to his qualifications, your honor. now, for this last year, you've only testified in trials that you could drive to. i wouldn't characterize it like that. is that because you're on the u.s. government's no-fly, -or, as it's more commonly known, the terrorist watch list? i'm on the list, but i'm not a terrorist. the u.s. government seems to think so. why else would they put you on a list with such people as osama bin laden, -sheikh khalid mohammed? look, yes, i'm on the no-fly -- terrorist - terrorist. ...no-fly list, but it has nothing to do with terrorism. -there was an incident. oh, incident. okay. would that happen to be the incident on flight 732 out of st. -louis, where you - you fondled a flight attendant's buttocks? or would that happen to be the incident on flight 1433 out of chicago, -where you drank 17 tiny margaritas, you took your pants off, you stood up on the drink cart, and you sang, quote, "i'm a sexy monkey"? -i have no recollection of that. i'm not surprised, because it was not one, it wasn't two, but it was 22 incidents of drunk and belligerent, -grab-assy behavior that landed you on that list. mr. miller. objection! ** no, you know what, your honor? -the u.s. government has determined that this man is not qualified to ride on an airplane, like osama bin laden. how is this jury supposed to rely on him to render a sound medical opinion? it doesn't -- -no further questions. i'm in recovery. we are done. you may step down, dr. patemkin. sophie, give me an update. -i've hit three out of five. okay, wrap it up. hardison's about to give his closing statement. mr. miller. you know, a week ago, you were all strangers. -and then the same thing happened to all of you. you got that envelope. you know the one. comes in the mail. it says "county of los angeles" on the top. -you open it like this -- "oh, god." you know. a week passes. you watch the witnesses parade through. you listen to the lawyers argue. -suddenly, you're not strangers anymore. some of you have even made friends. it's not as bad as you thought, right? but then the judge asks you to deliberate. then you have a moment of doubt. -"i'm not a doctor i'm not a scientist. "how can i tell if ernesto vargas died from using fastlife? h how can i be sure?" but that envelope entrusted you -with the most important obligation of citizenship, and that is to find the truth. it's so important that we dare not give it to one person but to 12 strangers. now, all i ask is that you -- -you go into that room and you work together and you find the truth. i have faith that you'll reach a just decision. take it as a compliment. how's parker doing? -let's find out. yeah, it's the end game -- all on her now. it's odd. -what? we take a juror, and our juror gets removed. we take their lawyer. another lawyer shows up. -a company tries to take quint. i take the company. it's almost... it's ridiculous. okay. -those are my arguments, why i think we should decide, you know? i know i'm just one of you guys, but that's how i feel. why don't we take a poll to see where everyone stands? -who here finds in favor of the defendant, live herbally? yes! it's ours! quint's on his way over. you can tell him the good news. -we are not going to tell mr. quint anything. do you know why he didn't show up in court today? called me on his cell, said his car broke down. i've been tracking quint via his phone's gps. he told you his car was dead, -but we pinged him visiting several local offices of my top competitors. he was out there searching for a better offer. time to teach mr. quint about karma. any news? not yet. -let's talk business. now? before the verdict? i thought we were gonna wait till after we won. this trial has given me new perspective. -now i know that your company does not just have one price. and he wasn't even armed. it's my duty as a confessor to bring his killer to justice. i'm not going to let that happen. we have the weapons. -there's no need for richard to spend another minute in that garrison. we need to get him out. not yet. we still have time before the d'harans realize they've been robbed. pack up the whisperers. -we're going to pay a little visit to the good citizens of grayson village. why? grayson is filled with loyalists. let's see how they like it when rahl's dark magic is used against them. those people are civilians. -you use the weapons against them and you're no better than rahl. i won't let you do it. stay out of our way, confessor. i wanna believe you. your instincts are sharp, sir. -don't try to flatter me, dunn. swear to me on your father's soul that you're telling the truth. i swear. i trusted you. i brought you home to meet my family, even thought we could be friends, if that's possible in this cursed place. -so if you're lying to me, i won't send you to the crossbows. i'll kill you myself. captain. dunn's wife is here. -his wife? yes, sir, she's outside the gate, very agitated. claims she walked for days from azarith to find her husband. says he left her destitute. insists on seeing him, sir. -sir, i know that's against regulations, send her away. you see, sir? anyone else in this garrison would murder his bunkmate just for the chance to smell his woman's skin. when she sees this man isn't her husband, it'll prove he's a liar. let's find out. -carver. maris. you abandoned me. you haven't sent a penny home for your children. how do you expect us to survive? -you shouldn't have come here. don't they pay you? how much does he earn? well, ma'am, he's only been on this post a few days. well, he hasn't sent me money for months. -you selfish wench. who's watching our children while you're chasing after me? captain, i'm sorry about this. let me get rid of her. may have made quick work of you, sergeant, but i don't think carver dunn is any match for his wife. -"wench"? you started it. did you have to hit me so hard? richard, we have to get out of here. garrick's captured the whisperers and he's going to use them to attack grayson. -the village? it's full of innocent women and children. why? revenge. the captain's family lives there. -i have to warn him. no. he'll know you're a spy. go. he's the seeker! -close the gates! after them! stop! out of our way, seeker. don't do this, garrick. -think about what we're fighting for, an end to all the suffering. to stop us, you're gonna have to kill us. keep moving! take them all! get out of here before they kill you all! -stop! or everyone dies! we're close enough to the village that all of those people will be on their way to the underworld too. but i can still stop the whisperer from releasing its magic. so if you wanna save those people, then retreat. -now. all of you! what's to stop you from killing them anyway once we're gone? that's a chance you'll just have to take. run! -you betrayed me. but you're fighting the rebels. why? they were going to attack grayson. why does the seeker care about a loyalist village? -my mission is to stop darken rahl, not kill innocent people. thank you for saving my family. but my duty is to serve lord rahl. i don't wanna fight you. then die where you stand. -no, stay back. i could have used a man who can fight like you. do your duty, seeker. finish me. go back to your family. -maybe we should have kept at least one of the weapons. we could have used it to attack darken rahl. nobody should have weapons like these. too many innocent people have already died. the d'haran captain wasn't innocent. -he would've killed you in a heartbeat if he had the chance. he might still try again someday. why did you let him go? why did you try to protect carver dunn? you be the hiders, -i'll be the seeker. all right. {\pos(192,260)}come out{\*, everybody}. look what i found. {\pos(192,260)}can i hold it? -{\pos(192,260)}maybe it's a puzzle. {\pos(192,260)}maybe it's something magical. {\pos(192,260)}you know why zedd suggested we go back to cowley glen, don't you? {\pos(192,260)}he's hoping our friends there {\pos(192,260)}have heard something about darken rahl's movements. -{\pos(192,260)}there's a lot of places where we might get that information. {\pos(192,260)}but only one place where the elder's wife {\pos(192,260)}makes zedd's favorite rabbit stew. {\pos(192,260)}he asked me to get the recipe. {\*so w}we're tramping up this mountain like {\*a couple of}pack mules to fill zedd's belly? -do you hear that? i don't hear anything. exactly. not even birds. dead. -all of them. but how? i don't know. no weapons drawn. there wasn't a fight. -"by proclamation of lord darken rahl: "this is the fate of all those who give harbor "and comfort to the seeker." 1x17 deception -{\pos(192,210)}they murdered all those people. unarmed women and children, {\pos(192,240)}because they gave me food and shelter a few months ago? {\pos(192,240)}darken rahl has been killing innocents{\* people} long before you got to the midlands. {\pos(192,210)}from the tracks, -{\pos(192,210)}the d'harans who attacked the settlement weren't on horseback. those can't be the same ones. tell me, friend, who is it i owe my life to? richard cypher. then you must be kahlan amnell. -{\pos(192,210)}something wrong? no, it's just that we've been fighting the d'harans for so long and now, to have the seeker and confessor standing with us... it's an honor. {\pos(192,210)}i'm garrick, leader of the resistance{\* in this valley}. that one is still alive! -command me, confessor. {\pos(192,210)}my name is carver dunn. my unit was dispatched here from azarith. {\pos(192,210)} why? -the garrison {\at grayson}needs reinforcements. {\pos(192,210)}the rebels in this valley have been growing stronger every day. {\pos(192,210)} i appreciate the compliment. do you know what this is? -{\the soldiers}they call them whisperers. they have massacred four settlements in our valley. {\my men}we {\have }found cylinders at all of them. do you know how they work? a dark magic. -some say rahl's sorcerers have captured the voices of shadow people and bottled them inside the weapons. when their screams are unleashed, they kill everyone within a league. rahl could wipe out every village in the midlands. or terrify people into submission. four attacks, all in this area. -t{\hey must be keeping t}hese weapons must be somewhere nearby. maybe at the fort near grayson? all the compliance missions are dispatched from there. compliance missions? -we'll have to get into the fort and destroy these weapons. the fort can't be taken. it's too big. too many d'haran butchers. or if we could steal just one of these whisperers, we could wipe out every soldier in the garrison. -you'll report as ordered, get one of the weapons, and bring it back to us. yes, confessor, i'll try. but i'm afraid i'll fail you. why? -only certain soldiers are trusted{\ with these weapons}. what kind of soldiers? ones who enjoy killing. then you'll have to steal the weapon. i'll do anything to please you. -but i don't think i'm clever enough. i'll be caught. carver, have you ever been to this fort before? i've never been away from my post at azarith. then nobody here knows you? -no other soldiers were sent from azarith as reinforcements {\*to grayson}here? i don't think so. what are you getting at, richard? please, call me carver. i'll report to the fort in his place, trick them into giving me a whisperer. -or steal it. either way, we use it to wipe out the entire battalion. the d'harans may be brutes, but they're not gullible. you won't be able to bring your sword for protection. and if they even suspect that you're an imposter... -which is why i'll have to convince them i'm one of them. name and rank? archer third class, carver aloysius dunn. only a confessor could get him to admit to a middle name like that. -keep going. commanding officer? captain jandor. attack position? third pentangle. -battle arms? twenty bolts. wife's name? marta? mary? -maris. one mistake and you're dead. you need to study more. the longer we wait, the more time the{\* d'harans}y have to massacre more people. i'm ready now. -not quite yet. blacksmith, it's time. i'll do it. you're sure? i've had worse. -i'm archer dunn. my unit was attacked by the rebels. i'm the only survivor. that's a very unfortunate story, archer dunn. "dunn," there you are. -the rebels who killed my friends, i wanna make them pay. assign me to a new patrol so i can go after them. you already had your chance to fight, but you abandoned your duty. you should have fought to the death. i'm worth more to darken rahl alive than i am as a corpse, trust me. -haven't you heard, soldier? lord rahl has issued new orders. he wants to send a clear message to our enemies. d'harans always fight to the death. cowards will not be tolerated. -you'll be executed. i wanna talk to the commander. shut him up. he's going to want to hear this. you're making a big mistake! -gag him. i have information about the rebels. if he has something to say, i'll hear it. but it better be good. what is it? -{\do you know about the rebels? } after they ambushed us, the cowards fled back into the woods. i tracked them there. i can take you to where they're hiding. -did you know this? he didn't say anything. {\*if you ask me, h}he's just trying to save himself. i told him i wanted the bastards to pay for killing my friends. {\he d}didn't give me a chance to say more. -he abandoned his unit. there are... i don't need you to quote regulations to me, sergeant. tell us the location of the rebels. i'll send my men to find out if you're telling the truth. -lock him in the stockade till they get back. this d'haran's your new cellmate, dror. he's a coward, but he told us what we've been trying to beat out of you for weeks: where to find your rebel friends. you'd better pray he's lying, dror, because if we find your friends then we won't need you anymore. -except to use your head to decorate a pole. d'haran pig. rebel scum. trust me, i gave them the right information. your friends are as good as dead. -and so are you. we'll give richard three days. if he's not back by then, we'll need a plan to get him out. they store supply wagons outside the gate, here. if we set them on fire, maybe that would draw enough attention for one of us to slip in and find him. -confessor. is there anything i can do for you? when i need you, i'll let you know. is there something else? i feel guilty. -because you've been confessed. i felt this way for a long time. long before you used your power on me. it's about the things i did, fighting for darken rahl. give us a moment. -i'm listening. first, i haven't sent any of my pay back to my wife in azarith. i gambled it away at dice. you'll need to make up for that. yes, confessor, i will. -there's something else? before i was conscripted into the army i was a cook for a lord in our village. it's all i ever wanted to do. i never wanted to do anything else. but rahl needed every healthy man, so i was forced to join the army. -confessor, i did terrible things. i went on raids, even against civilians. i burned houses. i hurt people. i killed some. -that's what d'haran soldiers do. i didn't have to. i could have run. the night before we raided araban, my friend kerwin deserted. he asked me to go with him but i didn't. -i was too afraid. well, you're not a soldier anymore. maybe we can find a way for you to do some good now. you lied. you sent us into an empty clearing. -you could have gotten us killed just to save your own skin. you probably tramped in there like a pack of boars and the rebels heard you. i can track better than anyone here. there wasn't a fire pit, nor a snot rag. -there was never anyone there. i would've found them. you know what i think, sergeant? you didn't wanna find the rebels. because if you found them, you would've had to fight them. -get him! these men are cowards. they can't track. they can't fight. and if you don't want those rebels to kill you all, you need a man like me. -those men you just bloodied are my best soldiers. all three of them are your superiors. not my fault they couldn't use the information i gave them. every good woodsman knows a noisy hunter never catches his prey. i don't trust anyone in this fort. -they're all schemers, liars, thugs. you probably are too. this is a very dangerous post. the most dangerous in the midlands. every day the rebels get more aggressive. -every time we step outside this fort our lives are at great risk. so more than anything, what i need are men who can fight. so maybe you are right. maybe i could use a man like you. sir, the men say you've got whisperers in this fort. -give me one and let me kill some rebels. you got nerve, dunn. but you need to slow down. i'm going on a mission tomorrow. i need a man to go with me. -prove yourself, then maybe i'll let you have your revenge. no one goes past you. off limits. comfortable with your new weapon? it's not the sword of truth, is it? -but it'll do. dunn's getting closer to the captain than a fly on a cow's ass. ask around. see if anyone knows anything about him. everyone's got a weakness. -when i find out what dunn's is, i'm gonna crush him. look at that. elk tracks. i'd say he was 600 stone. eight hundred. -they're fresh. he knows we're here. how can you tell? see how his hoof pivots a little as he caught our scent. he ran off into the brush there. -if only we'd been downwind, might have had venison for supper. sir, if i may, what's our objective on this mission? you wanted to know our objective. there it is. grayson. -ready to do your duty, soldier? is that family aiding the rebels? if they are? i'm ready to do whatever's necessary, sir. well, you're a hard man, dunn. -i like that. but we're not going to kill them. we're going to feed them. sir? they're my family. -look what your father's brought you! the last chicken in the midlands! it's too dangerous for a soldier to travel alone in these parts, dunn. too many rebels'd like nothing better than the ears of a d'haran captain to adorn their trophy belts. that's why i had to bring you along. -food's hard to come by in grayson these days. it's the last loyalist village around{\*in the valley}. the rebels are all over the trade roads. so from time to time, i requisition supplies for my family, courtesy of lord rahl. -naturally, it's against regulation to visit your family except on leave. that's why i requested a posting near grayson. of course, i'm not on leave, am i? but i know all the other men at the fort. they talk. -i can count on you not to say anything about this to the higher-ups, can't i? i can keep a secret, sir. if you don't, i can always hand you back to sergeant frye. sorry, son. your clumsy dad didn't mean to scare you like that. -i'm sorry. tanner jumps at every loud noise lately. if i drop something, or a wagon passes. the war's been hard on him. he's afraid there'll be more fighting. -fighting? here? a few months ago rebels attacked our village. he saw some people killed. his best friend's house was burned to the ground. -do you have a wife, carver? her name's maris. she's in azarith. she must worry about you. soldiers forget how hard war is on their families. -yes, ma'am, maybe we do. confessor, i found some blackberries, and i made these for you. i usually use butter, but i could only find lard. it's delicious. there's more. -that's plenty for me. give them to the others. confessor, can i have a word? what's he still doing here? he's not making any trouble. -my men don't like it. it's not up to them, is it? forgive me, but some of these men have had their homes burned and their families killed. do you know what the d'harans do when they capture one of us? we aren't d'harans. -they torture him and then they publicly execute him as an example to anyone else thinking of joining the fight against rahl. now, my men think we should do the same to dunn, so the d'harans fear us like they want us to fear them. do your people want justice or revenge? this is a magic whistle. if you're ever afraid of anything, a noise, something in the dark, you just play the whistle and you won't feel scared anymore. -go ahead, try it. that's the first time he's smiled in three months. i'm so grateful my husband has a friend like you to watch out for him now. sir? there's something that's been weighing on my mind. -can i tell you the truth? what is it? your chicken was much too spicy. i appreciate the honesty, dunn. and i appreciate what you did for my son. -what the rebels did to him, your village, my comrades, i wanna make them pay. it's time you gave me a whisperer and let me go after them. i can't do that. but i've showed you i can fight, i can track. i can be trusted. -i am beginning to trust you, dunn. i'm afraid we've run out of whispers. sir? relax, dunn. a shipment's on its way from d'hara, should arrive tomorrow. -isn't it too dangerous taking the weapon through rebel territory? that's why they're being transported at night. but even at night the open roads can be dangerous. the rebels will never see them. they're going through the rekuna pass. -i have orders to question him. i didn't get any orders. you're right. i don't have any orders. but that rebel scum spit on me, insulted my friends. -i want a piece of him. thought you might like to give me a hand. got a visitor, dror. your old cellmate, come to pay his respects. what are you doing? -i'm helping you escape. why? because i'm on your side. i'm the seeker. sorry about how i treated you before. -i needed the d'harans to think i was one of them. now, i want you to go back and find garrick. you know my brother? we're working together to stop the massacres. -you might need this. how do i know this isn't a trick, so you can follow me back{\, kill my friends}? because i already know where they are. a cave, about 600 paces southwest of the river crossing. i need you to tell your brother a shipment of whisperers is coming through the rekuna pass tonight. -if he acts fast, he can capture them. if you're the seeker, why not go after the weapons yourself? if i don't make bed check, the d'harans will think i deserted and send a search party. but the next guard doesn't come on duty until dawn. if you go now, you can reach garrick and intercept the shipment before anyone knows you're missing. -get his uniform on. i'll try to slip away and meet up with you the first chance i get. come on. you're late, dunn. i'm gonna have to report you to the captain. -no need. i was just with him. and he gave me this to share with my comrades. pays to make friends with the right people. plenty for everyone. -don't shoot! it's me, dror. i thought you were dead. only taken prisoner. the seeker helped me escape. -it's good to see you, brother. we've got work to do. who's the new man? confessed d'haran. the one the seeker is impersonating. -let's move out! i wanna {\go with you and}fight the d'harans. make up for the things i've done. no more killing for you. just stay here and make something to eat. -the men will be hungry when we get back. rebel prisoner's escaped. i need men for a search party. i'll find him, sir. captain, wait. -not now, sergeant. sorry, sir. but you'll wanna hear this. tell the captain what you told me. i was posted at azarith two summers ago. -i met archer dunn there. and that's not him. i remember dunn because another soldier at azarith deserted. a friend of his. the officers suspected dunn helped the man escape, but other archers{\*in dunn's unit} convinced the officers that wasn't possible. -why not? well, dunn was too timid. he was too scared to even snicker when{\ the } others{\men } were mocking the officers{\* behind their backs}. they called him "mouse." he was a laughingstock. that was two summers ago. -maybe your memory's cloudy. i remember dunn clear as day. scrawny with yellow hair. did you get the weapons? i'm glad. -torben the blacksmith was killed. i'm sorry. would you like something to eat? get away from me! sorry for the loss of your friend. -you're sorry? you're one of them, you d'haran bastard! carver! i need bandages. thank you for giving me another chance. -he's dead. this is ridiculous, i never saw this soldier before, not in azarith or anywhere else. you're calling voss a liar? you know frye hates me. -i thrashed him in front of his men, humiliated him. he ordered this soldier to make these accusations because he wants revenge. a liar's excuse. i am doing my duty: -protecting against an infiltrator and serving darken rahl. captain, this man is an imposter, maybe even a spy. it's time for him to get four arrows in his chest. you two are dismissed. don't push me. -move. you're confined to the garrison till i get to the truth of this. it was cold-blooded murder. dror must be punished. you think i'm going to let you punish my own brother for killing a d'haran? -after what those pigs did to him in their stockade, after they killed so many of our people. it wasn't carver who tortured your brother or killed your friends. he was a soldier in rahl's army. he was confessed. he was a changed man. -and he wasn't even armed. it's my duty as a confessor to bring his killer to justice. i'm not going to let that happen. we have the weapons. there's no need for richard to spend another minute in that garrison. -we need to get him out. not yet. we still have time before the d'harans realize they've been robbed. pack up the whisperers. we're going to pay a little visit to the good citizens of grayson village. -why? grayson is filled with loyalists. let's see how they like it when rahl's dark magic is used against them. those people are civilians. you use the weapons against them and you're no better than rahl. -i won't let you do it. stay out of our way, confessor. i wanna believe you. your instincts are sharp, sir. don't try to flatter me, dunn. -swear to me on your father's soul that you're telling the truth. i swear. i trusted you. i brought you home to meet my family, even thought we could be friends, if that's possible in this cursed place. so if you're lying to me, -i won't send you to the crossbows. i'll kill you myself. dunn's wife is here. his wife? she's outside the gate, very agitated. -claims she walked for days from azarith to find her husband. says he left her destitute. insists on seeing him, sir. sir, i know that's against regulations, send her away. you see? -anyone else in this garrison would murder his bunkmate just for the chance to smell his woman's skin. when she sees this man isn't her husband it'll prove he's a liar. let's find out. you abandoned me. you haven't sent a penny home for your children. -how do you expect us to survive? you shouldn't have come here. don't they pay you? how much does he earn? well, ma'am, he's only been at this posting a few days. -well, he hasn't sent me money for months. you selfish wench. who's watching our children while you're chasing after me? captain, i'm sorry about this. let me get rid of her. -may have made quick work of you, but i don't think carver dunn is any match for his wife. "wench"? you started it. did you have to hit me so hard? we have to get out of here. -garrick's captured the whisperers, he's gonna use them to attack grayson. the village? it's full of innocent women and children. why? revenge. -the captain's family lives there. i have to warn him. he'll know you're a spy. go. he's the seeker! -close the gates! stop! out of our way, seeker. don't do this, garrick. think about what we're fighting for, an end to all the suffering. -to stop us, you're gonna have to kill us. take them all! get out of here before they kill you all! stop! or everyone dies! -we're close enough to the village that all of those people will be on their way to the underworld too. but i can still stop the whisper from releasing its magic. so if you wanna save those people, then retreat. now. all of you! -what's to stop you from killing them anyway once we're gone? that's a chance you'll just have to take. run! you betrayed me. but you're fighting the rebels. -why? they were going to attack grayson. why do{\es the seeker} you care about a loyalist village? my mission is to stop darken rahl, not kill innocent people. thank you for saving my family. -but my duty is to serve lord rahl. i don't wanna fight you. then die where you stand. no, stay back. i could have used a man who can fight like you. -do your duty, seeker. finish me. go back to your family. maybe we should have kept at least one of the weapons. we could have used it to attack rahl. -nobody should have weapons like these. too many innocent people have already died. the d'haran captain wasn't innocent. he would've killed you in a heartbeat if he had the chance. he might still try again someday. -why did you let him go? why did you try to protect carver dunn? yes, very funny. can we leave the beard alone now? you go holiday and you come back looking like the leader of a cult. -you look like a homeless bee gee. you look like tom jones's ball bag. i think it makes me look studious. and dangerous. like a maverick surgeon. -did you know they use nintendo wiis to train surgeons? jesus! they're not going to send you a free wii! it's like the 20th time you've mentioned it. that's not advertising. -i don't even own a nintendo... wii. i'd like to. i've got tim on line one. he's got another pub quiz question. -bring it on! for those who have just joined us, we are in preparation for tomorrow night's legendary john peel pub quiz, challenging you to beat team captain cox with your question. three years undefeated. you're not going anywhere, are you, john?

"women throw pussy at me on the street like frisbees! that is the actual suit that he wore. well, that's not. -that's a replica worn by a lookalike. but still, that is an actual replica. you can't give him the suit, man. that's your prize possession. this is my prize possession. -i'm being sexually harassed by a child. he's like a reverse paedophile?

having a wide knowledge of hip hop is a positive thing. -he's a complement. it's good racism. good racism? plus he's probably got a large penis and a great sense of rhythm. good racism. -you don't know this guy. you got him of the streets. he could be a criminal. because he's black? that, jane, is bad racism. -you're a bad racist. ridiculous! i am black. by your logic, i should be a hip hop expert. why don't you ask me? -cos you're a racist. three two one, and cue, lindsay. and after the break, we're going to be joined by hot ship... shit. sorry. -i couldn't read it... i say chip... ok. and cut. good one! -you try doing this! what, reading?

oh, not at all. i get family. i'm here so much, i hardly ever see my wife. and that's why i installed a web camera at my house. -that way, i can see her during the day. right now i'm watching her do the dishes. who in god's name are those two naked people? that's mr. and mrs. dish. get out. -hi, puppy. fyi, i fired the cashier and the person that made the scrambled eggs. their accents were unintelligible. what're you talking about? -oh, it's one of the benefits of you being the chief of medicine. i can fire people under your auspices. also, i didn't have to pay for food. i got three steaks! jordan, that's... -give me one of these. why isn't he in pre-school right now?

nah, just a little blood from shaving. oh, sweetie. oh, don't worry, i wasn't shaving myself. say, jack, don't you think your mom should be just a little embarrassed that she's constantly being outwitted by a four-year-old? -i hate school! i remember. can you please not be a jackass in front of the help? i'm gonna get going. okay. -we're still on for tonight, right? i'll answer that with this. i don't know what that means. you're so cute. i'm actually baffled. -am i gonna see her tonight or not? was either one of us giving you a vibe that we give a crap? because, if so, that's an accident and we're sorry. apology accepted. and you know, just because lady and i are clicking and you guys aren't doesn't matter, really. -just means we're a better couple. no, i'm just tired of him saying i'm not a good parent. i am a great mom. oh, really? then where's your son, jack? -hmm. damn it. jack! this is sportscenter. after buffalo bills tight end -kevin everett fractured his cervical spine during a game, the question wasn't whether he would ever walk again. it was whether he would live. thankfully, mr. everett both alive and walking today, thanks to an incredibly risky medical procedure called cold therapy. it's as unproven as it is controversial, with doctors still disagreeing about its very effectiveness. turk, if we have another baby -it'll still be pretty financially tight. mmm-hmm. 'cause we're gonna need to keep the nanny on for izzy. are you even listening to me? i'm not, baby, but i was pretending to listen and so i think we can both agree that means i love you. -turk, this is serious. i worry about this stuff. baby, the only thing i'm worried about is you having another girl. i'm surrounded by girls. surrounded? -yes. surrounded by girls. baby, you, izzy, elliot. who else? hey. -what's that laugh about? that laugh is never good for me. you're a girl. no, i'm not. what's this show? -is it new? it's sportscenter, dude. if you must do that witch cackle can you please do it in the hallway? thank you. i've been watching this show every day since i was 10 years old. -you know, we've asked you, among many things today, how do you feel about the baseball, the football, the... so they just sit there and talk about sports? your wife's a dirty whore. dude! sorry. -not dirty. dude! not a whore. how cool would it be to be on sportscenter? welcome to sportscenter. -america has voted. the results are in. and the worst athlete in the world? it's this guy right here. i like wearing a helmet, 'cause i can do this. -and it only hurts a little bit. congratulations, john dorian. you are a giant nerd. so cool. i can't do this all on my own -no, i know i'm no superman i'm no superman j.d.: it's amazing watching turk do his thing. -i haven't been to the future yet, but i may be the best surgeon of all time. close him up. nah nah nah, nah nah nah! what're you doing? you were awesome. -just like on sportscenter. nah nah nah, nah nah nah! nah nah nah, nah nah nah! i know, that's what i did. nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah? -nah nah nah, nah... no, hold on a second. doe, a deer. no, it's doe, it's a deer. j.d., now is not a good time, okay? -that kid broke his neck. i want to thank you for dinner last night. mmm-hmm. i've eaten by candlelight before, but never by firefly-light. yeah, it was hard to get them all in the jugs, -but i thought it was worth it. oh. so, what do you want to do tonight? um, i don't really want to hold hands right now. is that okay? -sure. you know, that's... i'm fine with that. whatever. like teenage girls say, "whatever." -we're cool. okay. i'll call you. okay. hey, janitor. -rock-solid relationship there. you know, there's nothing like looking in someone's eyes and seeing a part of them die. oh, there it goes! bye-bye, hope. everything is fine between me and lady. -and excuse me for not having a relationship built on a mutual affection for jet-black hate. we don't hate each other, do we? a little bit, but we make it work. yeah. at least i can hold your hand. -there it is. what's this? what the hell? are you wearing a wedding ring? you just noticing that now? -he's been wearing it for months. months? got to go. i'm a cutter. i usually say "surgery went great" or "he's not gonna make it, i'm sorry." -i've never had to tell anyone that their son's gonna be paralyzed. that's gonna suck. i wish there was an easier way to say this. mr. hill? got you a card. -"great to see you, great to talk. "the bad news is, your son can't walk." and see, there's a picture of a kitty cat in a wheelchair. look at the cat. he's shrugging, like, "what are you gonna do?" -"what are you..." we did it at the same time! dude. was the daydream helpful? not especially. i need you to focus. -you're better at this than i am. here's what you're gonna do. you're gonna go in there, and you're going to be completely honest. that's all you've got? because i've been a doctor for more than 10 minutes. -try not to get too emotional. if you feel yourself starting to cry, do what i do and think of that gopher at the end of caddyshack when he dances. got it. and, turk, most importantly, don't give him any false hope. you know? -if you go in there and make him think for a second there could be a happy ending for him, if it doesn't work out, they're gonna blame you forever. i did that. you remember, with my patient mr. chazznini? i think about it every day. good luck. -mr. hill? yes? i'm dr. christopher turk. i need to talk to you about your son. miss jensen, your brain ct came back and as you can see, we were able to get all of the tumor. -unfortunately, we were not able to remove this. that's the song that's been stuck in your head. oh, dr. cox. hey. what gives with you wearing that thing on your finger? -it's mainly to deter cougars like mrs. jensen here from hitting on me, but it doesn't seem to have stopped you, does it? what's the real reason? oh, i don't know. lately i've been feeling warm and fuzzy about the kids, a little less nauseous about you, and then i found this thing stuck to an old piece of gum in the medicine cabinet. i put it on a couple of months ago and i haven't taken it off since. -mmm-hmm. mmm-hmm. perry, we're not married. we're two independent people who enjoy each other's company and are perfectly happy. we're the opposite of married. -i don't want you to wear it anymore. fine. fine, what do you say i melt it down into a bullet and shoot myself with it? thank you. -holding hands isn't so hard, is it? i think there's something wrong between me and lady. dibs. who's lady? apparently she's not a fan of hand-holding. -and that's what couples do. that and sleep head-to-toe. i'm just not sure she's the one. zeltzer, when were you sure your wife was the one? it was our fourth date, over at her place. -we were sitting by the fire, just staring into each other's eyes. i knew then and there that she was the one. i would've told her but i had a rubber ball in my mouth. i've just been zeltzer-ed. mr. hill. -it's rich. okay, rich. um, here's the situation. your son's stable, his vitals are good. but the damage to his spine was quite severe. -so there's a strong possibility that he could... he really loved that car. the one he had the accident in. he was always cleaning it. driving it around with the top down. -okay. um. rich, the problem with spinal cord injuries... do you have any kids, dr. turk? yeah. -i do. i've got a daughter. they grow up fast. you know, when mikey was twelve, he was a hell of a football player. rich, i'm trying to talk to you about your son. -here's... yeah. i know you're trying to talk to me about my son. when they brought mike in, i saw them poking at his fingers and toes, asking if he felt it. dr. turk, i have a pit in my stomach because i'm afraid you've come here to tell me my boy is going to be paralyzed. -tell me it isn't true. we're not exactly certain of that yet. you're his doctor. what do you think? oh, my god. -i'm so sorry. listen, something just really funny jumped into my head. what? tell me. you remember when the gopher started dancing at the end of caddyshack? -j.d.: oh, don't do the dance, turk. don't do the dance. carla, your husband's not doing very well in there. i can't watch right now, i'm working. -you know, if i was married to him i'd be more supportive. you know you said that out loud, right? i'm not ashamed of who i am. and there's a 90% chance that the gopher was a puppet, but this right here, hilarious. dr. turk, what the hell are we doing? -i don't know. rich, there's a strong possibility that your son will be paralyzed from the neck down. this isn't fair. i'm so sorry. please tell me there's something else that you can do for my son. -anything. don't give up on mike. please. j.d.: there's a lot a person can express, simply with their hands. -whether it's defiance... what the hell? j.d.: rejection... oh, i said i didn't want to do that. -why? we can talk about it later, okay? looks like somebody's getting their ass dumped. j.d.: or even desperation. -please, dr. turk. please help. don't do it, turk. no false hope. just get out. -there might be something i can do. okay. okay. okay. j.d.: -uh, dr. turk, a word, please? i'm sorry, sir. one of your patients is very... what the hell are you doing? what? -don't you remember my "don't give him false hope" speech and my lie about how i had done it with mr. chazznini? that was a lie? yes, turk. i lie to drive my points home, we both know that about me. look, i actually have a good idea. -mr. hill, there's a therapy i'd like to try on mike. but here's the thing, it's very experimental... i don't care. we're in. it's not up to me to make the decision. -i have to talk to my boss. okay. baby. i need to run something by you. are you trying to annoy me by wearing your wedding ring? -because all you really needed to do was wear the "who farted?" t-shirt. now, hun, and when i say "hun" i don't mean the "short for honey" kind, but rather the "attila" kind, despite the fact that wearing our wedding ring may actually annoy you, which, don't get me wrong, is one of the most stupendous perks in the history of the planet, the truth is, i'm wearing it because i want to. so that's it. you're just going to ignore me? -as much as i'll ignore the opening of hugh jackman's next cinematic excretion. jordan, come on, bottom line, i'm not telling anyone that we're married. this isn't for other people, it's for me. which begs the question, why on earth would you care? she can't break up with me if i don't let her talk to me. -j.d.: i don't know what was odder, the janitor spouting random non sequiturs or dr. kelso doing his daily post-muffin power walk and rubbing in the fact that he's retired. must suck to be you people. baby, it's a long shot, but there's a procedure i heard of called cold therapy. we'd induce a mild hypothermia, which would minimize swelling and hopefully reduce the body's metabolic demand, preventing his paralysis. -hey. do you have a second? oh. honey, i would love to, but i'm just right in the middle of something. anyway, between the weak american dollar and the, you know, low interest rates, i think you'd be absolute fools not to buy a house right now. -and the subprime mortgage foreclosures have just made it a complete buyer's market. what the hell was that? i don't know, but it kind of made sense. look, the problem with cold therapy is that it's controversial. bottom line, if there are any complications, it's on me. -i could get sued, lose my license... hell, baby, we could lose everything. the car, the college fund, the house... what house? the one the janitor was talking about. -no! what am i supposed to do? what would you do if it was one of our kids? i'd try everything. there's your answer. -say it. you're always right. well, you were right. lady and i are doomed. congratulations, pam. -you think my name is pam? you know what, i don't care. i have my own problems. the worst part is, things were really going great between us. tell me about it. -perry and i finally got to the place where we could have sex facing each other. i finally got so comfortable with her that i was able to be the real me, you know? i even told her i don't ever want to have kids. i just want to adopt a really short, old guy. you know what? -if she wants to break up with me, that's fine. but i'm just gonna dump her first. i'm going to torture him till he gives up that ring. hey. eavesdropping. -things have been going so great between j.d. and i since we started dating again. you want to know why? not really. no one cares that you two are back together. why not? -because you've been doing it on and off for seven years. and if any one of us ever want to have another stupid conversation about your relationship, all we have to do is think back and remember one of the other billions of stupid conversations we've all had about your relationship. j.d.: so, turk, this elliot chick is pretty hot. she got nice boobies? -j.d.: awesome boobies. so how's the butt? j.d.: flat, just like i like it. -oh, yeah. j.d. 's gonna hit that flat butt! j.d. 's gonna hit that flat butt! j.d. 's gonna hit that flat butt! j. d... -i was just thinking about the first time i told turk about you. look, you guys both said that you've been happy lately. why mess that up over a ring? and why throw all of that away before you even talk to lady? seeing as that i'm part of a couple again, -i'm gonna give you some relationship advice, whether you want it or not. that's what i do. i can't help myself. still, don't tear things apart just because you're afraid to feel vulnerable. hmm. -oh, lookit! you're adorable. do you got a daddy? i'm just window-shopping. okay, rich. -mike's hooked up to the thermal regulation system, his body's now cooling. all we can do is wait and hope for the best. i feel really good about this, you know? that makes one of us. baby, what am i doing? -i am proud of you. not just for being smart, but for being brave. kiss. where'd you get the idea for this risky therapy, anyway? sportscenter. -excuse me? nah nah nah, nah nah nah! sportscenter, the place for sports! now's not really a good time. okay. -we should talk. we should talk. yeah. yeah. i know. -okay. sorry about that. yeah. but, you go. oh, no, no, no, you first. -i'd prefer you. no, no. you go first. i have nothing to say. please go. -okay... may i? i'm not really good at the talking part of relationships, but i've given this a little thought, and here goes. if i were a catfish... see, that's no good. -mmm-hmm. catfish is no good. let's pretend we're in africa, and you're a monkey trying to steal my gold... i'm a germaphobe. what? -the reason i don't want to hold hands is that i'm a germaphobe. specifically, a hand-specific germaphobe. hmm. my therapist thinks that part of reason i'm attracted to you is that you clean germs for a living. and you're a dead ringer for my dad. -whatever. anyway. look, uh, i've never told anyone this before, and i just finally feel so comfortable with you that i want to be the real me, you know? i do. you're weird. -yeah. i love that. really? yes. mmm. -hey, don't touch the table, it's full of bacteria. oh. thanks. well, that sucked. see you tomorrow, everybody. -bye, bob! they're so cute. but i still think that we're the best couple here. no one cares, elliot. j.d., you're in the relationship, you have to care! -sorry. thank you. look, you know what i love about where we are now? it's like i can tell you... j.d.: -as i took elliot's hand and nodded to make her think i was listening, i started to think about hands again, and how they really are windows to what we're feeling. whether it's love... if you say anything, i'll kill you. come here. -j.d.: or acceptance... this is great. it's like i'm steering you. look out for weird coughing guy. -j.d.: and sometimes, they can even express hope. so you really think it was the cold therapy that helped him? i don't know. but i'm glad i did it. -i'm really proud of you, baby. j.d.: there's got to be a way i could get on sportscenter. dr. cox is athletic. i wonder if he could help. -what is going on? involuntary luge. j.d.: eagle! oh! -that's got to hurt. glory always does. mmm-mmm. look at how his leg's all twisted. oh. -j.d.: i'm still not sure why luge is even a sport. my name is paloma. i'm eleven. i live at 2, rue e. manuel, paris in a rich people's apartment. -my parents are rich, my family is rich and my sister and i are basically rich. but, in spite of that, in spite of all this luck and wealth, for a long time now i've known i'm heading for the fishbowl. a world where adults bang like flies on the glass. paloma! where are you? -paloma? paloma! where are you? but i know one thing. the fishbowl isn't for me. -i've made my mind up. at the end of the year, the day i turn twelve, on june 16th next year, in 165 days, i'll kill myself. paloma! where are you? planning to die doesn't mean i let myself go like a rotten vegetable. -what matters isn't the fact of dying or when you die. it's what you're doing at that precise moment. in taniguchi, the heroes die while climbing everest. and my very own everest is making a film. a film that shows why life is absurd. -the life of others and my own. paloma! why do you hide like that? if things have no meaning, the mind must deal with that. paloma, your mother asked you a question. -stop that camera. why do you hide, paloma? right. i have to go. good morning, sir. jean-pierre? -jean-pierre? good morning, mrs michel. good morning, jean-pierre. go to the hostel, it's a cold day. go to the hostel yourself. -i prefer it here. mother michel has lost her cat shouting from her window to get it back... you've grown! solange josse. -i'll just get you a... upper-class mother with close ties, for a decade now, to psychoanalysis, anxiolytics, anti-depressants and champagne. you look lovely. i'll give you a drop but that's all. she is vaguely aware of her plants' decorative potential, yet obstinately talks to them like people. -that's good. you'll look fabulous. you'll be so pretty. and even taller than me! i'm going. -i'm going. have a good day, paloma! good morning, paloma. it's freezing outside. good morning, miss. -good morning when i got there, i saw pierre arthens lying with his hand on his chest. dead. he'd been lying there for hours. how awful! -when the heart goes, it's radical. we were having tea this week. we planned dinner too... if we'd all called today, he'd have suspected something. paloma, don't stay here, please. go home. -mother michel! jean-pierre... lost your cat? please, not now. paloma, the cat! -paloma. in praise of shadows my god, here they come. i can hear anna. such a happy family... -spend your life like a fish in a bowl... and end up in a body bag. the lift! mrs de broglie, the lift's working again! june 16th, june 15th... may 14th, may 1 1th... -april 14th, april 13th... june 16th. in 165 days. paloma's room. hello, young lady! -what a room! more like ali baba's cave... coming with us? paul's study. he'll be here soon. -hi. hi. no! no! , no, no, no! -no! coming? just a second. can you prepare the tray? colombe josse. -archetype of the fish in the bowl theory. stop filming me! obsessed by the need to be less neurotic than her mother and smarter than her father. for her, life is a battle in which you destroy others to win. paloma! -who's here? tibère's parents. ah, yes. it's terrible. can you imagine? -poor pierre. how awful. you're fine, then your heart goes and it's all over. can you imagine? it's terrible. -terrible. your heart goes pop and it's over in a trice. no, mum, you're not crying during dinner! it's awkward for tibère's parents. did manuela salt the tagine? -i said not to. you're sure? his father has to be careful. i salted the fruit salad. what? -saw you! what did he die of? don't you ever listen to me? it's funny you should say that. when i was little, i thought we got a number of words to say at birth and that we'd be struck dumb once we used them up. -for me, mutes didn't get their allocation of words. as i didn't know how many words i had, i spoke as little as possible for ages to save them. to get back to words, i started therapy ten years ago and it has changed my life. are you in therapy too? i've never felt the need. -everything's fine... my father's death triggered it. i'm convinced that taking the decision right then was what saved me, in fact. i remembered a dream i had back then about losing my teeth. they'd turn black and fall out one by one. -do you know what my therapist said? "madam, a freudian would call it a dream of death. " incredible, isn't it? it's incredible. paul josse. -minister about to fall victim to a cabinet reshuffle. a man occupied, preoccupied and brilliant. more focused on his career than his family but well-meaning, despite being easily resigned. don't worry. the main course was enough. -i don't usually eat red meat but it was delicious! are you sure? yes. thank you. i didn't even cook it myself. -excuse me, i'll be right back. paloma, i didn't give you my old camera to fool around. turn it off. sorry, an urgent call. lasker, the chess champion, once said, -"lf there's intelligent life on mars, the inhabitants have invented go. " discovered. discovered, invented... lasker said it. i see. -as i was saying, go is an extraordinary game. it's a bit like the japanese equivalent of chess. not true. another japanese invention... exactly. -that's not true. the chinese invented go, not the japanese. no, my dear girl, the japanese invented go. no, my dear sir, you're wrong. no... -it's not the equivalent of chess. in chess, you kill to win. one of the finest aspects of go is you live to win but also let your opponent live. paloma! life and death result from good or poor construction. -paloma! and what counts is good construction. stop pitching in. pursue the stars. don't end up as a fish in a bowl. -tuesday, june 5th. i'm slowly approaching june 16th. and i'm not afraid. when you decide to die you feel that it has to be. like a tricky moment, a gentle glide to rest. -paloma! adults have trouble coming to terms with death, even though nothing is more commonplace. paloma! take no chances with a decision that could be misunderstood. certain people can quickly foil your most cherished projects. -there you are! get dressed, you'll be late! you're here. meet mr kakuro ochou, our new neighbour. hello. -madam... will you show him around? yes. and give him a mailbox key? yes. -he's moving in tomorrow, make sure the street door is open. yes. thank you. did you know the arthens family well? wonderful people! -they were like any other family here. yes, a happy family. all happy families are alike. but each unhappy family is unique. i have two cats. -may i ask your cat's name? leo. goodbye. thank you, mrs michel.

" incredible, isn't it? it's incredible... it's incredible... it's incredible... -hello. hello, mrs josse. come in. thank you. since it's wednesday, i supposed paloma is here. -she is. i'd like to see your daughter because we met yesterday and had a very interesting conversation. you're very lucky. my daughter hardly ever speaks. paloma! -mr ozu is here for you! come in! i have some big news. he's hiring me. who? -mr ozu. twelve hours a week, paid a fortune. twelve hours? how will you manage? i've dumped mrs josse. -i've dumped mrs josse. i'll make white tea to celebrate. he's paying 4 euro an hour more and she left her panties lying around! maybe he leaves his briefs. no, he's not like that. -he's knocked down a wall. it's beautiful. his cats are beautiful too. they're slim and walk like this, undulating. you should come up and see the place when it's done. -what are they called? who? the cats. the female is kim but i forget the male's name. levin. -yes, levin! how did you know? not that revolutionary, is it? no, the revolutionary is lenin. levin is the hero of a russian novel. -kim is the woman he loves. you should have seen mrs josse. i had to tell her mice. all she could say was, "what am i going to do?" she didn't ask why? -she didn't dare! fancy manners can be a handicap. she never asked how she'd manage! ah, these rich people... damn them! -welcome, paloma! i'm no more convinced than by mine, but yours are more decorative. thank you. what are yours called? constitution and parliament. -you see what kind of family i come from? our cats are two fat sacks of luxury pet food that leave hair all over the couches. i'm sure they have other qualities. no. i believe in the radiance and sensitivity of an oak. -so i necessarily believe in those of a cat. concerning mrs michel's cat... leo? yes, leo. something tells me he's named after leo tolstoy. -why do you say that? i also believe she's fond of anna karenina? mrs michel reminds me of a hedgehog. she's prickly on the outside, a real fortress... but i feel that inside, she's as refined as that falsely lethargic, staunchly private and terribly elegant creature. -"madam, in tribute to your cat. best wishes, kakuro ozu. " "anna karenina" "l don't understand. "the janitor. " -"l can't read. " nonsense! thank you. you shouldn't have. the janitor. -i'm glad my parcel didn't upset you. well, it did... i mean... thank you. i'm not here so you can thank me. -you aren't? please come to dinner tomorrow. please come to dinner tomorrow. nothing too fancy. neighbourly? -but i'm the janitor! one can have both qualities at once. you're paloma? why do you say that? i'm your new neighbour. -she's prickly on the outside but on the inside she's as refined as those falsely lethargic, staunchly private and terribly elegant creatures. we're all hedgehogs in life. but often without elegance. my new neighbour is japanese. -this had to happen just before i die. leo. why? tell me why! what do you mean, why? -it's good! are you joking? think practical now. you can't go like that. your hair's not right. -when did you last get it done? i've never had it done. i'll get it done. what will you wear? my black dress. -the one you wore to the funeral? i only have one. so buy another! it's only dinner. i know. -but don't you dress up to go out? i never go out. there's no time to order a dress. so? don't you ever go to shops? -no, never. i never go. to try on clothes that won't fit while some anorexic girl watches? never! all right. -i'll be back soon. see you later. june 7th. i take a pill a week from mum's box. an excess of anxiolytics can be fatal. -165 days divided by 7. that's 23. 571 pills. but a sudden dose of toxic products... and since i took two when the box was full... other studies claim that there is no fatal dose. -i'll have at least 38 pills. since i weigh 28 kilos, that should be enough. you'll look like a movie star. i'm joking. where's it from? -i went to maria's. it's someone else's dress? the lady won't come for it. she died last week. before the family realizes it's missing, you can eat ten times with mr ozu. -i can't do that. what can the poor woman do with it? ty it on. you'll make me late. you have a hair appointment at 1 1 :45. -the new girl is wonderful. i'll come back to see you at 4. who cut your hair like this? do you prefer hot water or lukewarm? hot? -finished. it's surprising. damn this lift! it's always breaking down. oh, paloma. -i'll be right back. thank you. we have to get help. very elegant, mrs michel. yoko ozu. -granddaughter of mr kakuro ozu. the rich and only heir of a powerful japanese family. she will give up her studies to marry a wealthy banker's son. after three detox cures, she will raise her four children in a spotless home. yoko ozu will end up divorced, alcoholic, a billionaire and depressive. -and me? can my destiny be read on my face? i want to die because i believe that. but is there a possibility of becoming what you aren't yet? can i do something with my life other than what i'm destined for? -no... this is ridiculous... good evening. come in. thank you. -here. come along... we'll eat in the kitchen. in fact, i'll be cooking. it's very beautiful here. -thank you. do you know japanese cuisine? no. these are gyozas. could you tell me where the bathroom is, please? -mrs michel? i can't open the door! maybe you're turning the lock the wrong way. i was a bit surprised. mozart in the bathroom, that's... i should have warned you. -it's a japanese thing. when you sit down, the music starts up. forgive me. some people jump to their deaths. i find that ridiculous. -i would hate to suffer. paloma! after all, you want to die to end the suffering. only with my lawyer present. your lawyer? -your lawyer... it's not a courtroom. he's a psychoanalyst. i can already see dr thé talking like a toothbrush salesman to madam and her daughter. "l'm very happy to see you both. " paloma, you're a very intelligent girl but you can be intelligent and helpless. -very lucid and very unhappy. only psychoanalysis rivals religion for love of suffering. that's a trash one. that's tibère! let him in, mum! -i won't be long. why do you say that? my mother wants to break out the champagne to celebrate ten years in therapy! well, yes. yes. -that's good, isn't it? no. she's been on anti-depressants for ten years too. but she doesn't see the link... between ten years in therapy, her love of her plants and her mass consumption of prescription drugs. do you want some? -no, i'm joking. these are ramen noodles. it's a soup of chinese origin. you dip the gyoza in this sauce. tell me if you like it. -enjoy. thank you. in japan, we make noise eating ramen. too bad about the collateral damage. sorry about your dress. -it's not my dress! i borrowed it. i live alone and i never go out. i may be a bit unsociable. unsociable but very civilized. -you shouldn't have offered me those beautiful volumes. were you pleased? yes, i was pleased, but a little startled too. i try to be discreet. i don't want problems. -no one wants a pretentious janitor. you're not pretentious. you're just curious. even dining here with you is inconceivable. yet you're dining here. -and i'm very honoured. hubert josse. born nine and a half years ago in a pond on a goldfish farm. hubert will live and die in this bowl, except for weekly excursions to the kitchen sink while the cleaner changes his water so he won't suffocate on his own waste. the mountains of kyoto... -what? the mountains of kyoto are the colour of adzuki. that's from a film. "the munakata sisters" i saw it long ago. -i have it on tape. would you like to watch it with me? do you have a video player? yes. would saturday suit you? -all right. we'll watch it at teatime and i'll bring cakes. it's a deal. see you on saturday then. renée! -yes? by the way, i wanted to ask... are you related to him? to mr ozu. the director, i mean. -no, not at all. you're disappointed? no, not at all. oh, yes. ok! -ok! yes. yes. you got stuck in traffic? it's 7:30. -yes, i know. the lodge opens at 8. you have opening times? yes! well, now i'm here... -come back later. paloma! i can't find her. that bitch of a janitor has got a nerve! what's wrong? -she slammed her door in my face, saying she starts at 8. old bat! you can't disturb her when you want. the fat cow can make an exception for once! colombe dear... -enough! the lodge isn't a sanctuary from social progress or wage laws! period! precisely. it's true, just because... -paloma! i don't want you filming me! paloma! paloma! what are you... -don't move! tell me what happened to hubert! turn it off! i don't want to be filmed! paloma! -where's my goldfish? i woke up hungry in the night. i went to get a yoghurt. hubert was floating in his bowl. where is he? -in the toilet. that's sick. he was dead. you're an intolerant and depressive little person who hates others, paloma. given the situation, i think you owe me a favour. -do a deal. hold on a second... i'll see mrs michel. if you let me film you. no. just until my birthday, i promise. -how long? nine days. three. i won't go then. ok, nine days. -tell that old cow to bring up my package as soon as it arrives. good morning. hello, mrs michel. my sister colombe is expecting a very important delivery. very well. -could you bring it up? all right. would... would you like cocoa? come in. -i was just having some tea. i prefer tea. do you mind? no, not at all. sit down. -my sister is expecting corrections for her thesis on guillaume d'ockham, a 14th century franciscan friar. ah, yes. yes. well, it's given us the chance to get acquainted. can i come back? -if you want but there's not a lot to do here. i just want some peace. can't you get that in your room? i used to hide. but they always find me now. -well? well... come back later. all right, as usual. see you later. -goodbye, paloma. goodbye. i'm disturbed all the time too. this is no place to come for peace. people come for you, not for me. -all right, but we'll have to ask your mother. may i? it's dark chocolate. i noticed. thank you. -what's so nice about chocolate? the substance itself or the crunch of your teeth on it? i prefer to let it melt slowly on my tongue. you're right. changing the way you bite into it... makes it something new. -you should be getting home. your parents will worry. you're not an ordinary janitor. you've found the ideal hiding place. i'll go! -ah, good morning. good morning. the delivery for your daughter. just a second... paloma is an eccentric little girl. -i mean, she's a little... odd. she's very kind. yes, but she loves to hide, for instance. yes, she told me. she told you? -she told you... anmarie, she'd like to come to your lodge now and then. if you don't mind. no, i don't mind. that way, at least, i... -mind the cat! i wanted to say... don't let the cat out. don't let the janitor in. mind if i film you? -yes. you're going out? yes. may i come with you? yes. -careful! i don't know what i can do. staining a dress like this... didn't manuela warn you? she did. -i'll see if my husband can help. you get told off for making stains too. yes. can i come this afternoon? go on. -go on. what can i say? talk about yourself. "talk about yourself... " i'm listening. -i know you are. you're filming me too! my name's renée, i'm 54. i've been a janitor for 27 years here in paris in a building with five luxury apartments, all occupied, all huge... "talk about yourself... " -i'm a widow. i'm short, ugly and overweight. i have bunions and, some mornings when i wake, breath like a mammoth! i've never studied, i've always been poor, discreet and insignificant. -i live alone with a fat, lazy tomcat... who, rather unusually, gets meat paws when he's annoyed. i'm rarely amiable but always polite. people don't like me but tolerate me because i correspond to the archetype of a building's janitor: ugly, old and surly, always glued to her tv while her fat cat dozes on cushions covered with crocheted cases in a stink of bean stew. there, you know everything now. -no, not everything. yes, you do, everything. what do you hide behind that door? are those cakes? a surprise delivery. -why did you remove the flowers? mrs de broglie, this is the first floor. you live on the third floor. hello, renée. you weren't joking. -my mouth is watering. you can thank manuela. the third door on the right. no wonder you smiled when i asked if you had a video player. are you ready? -i'm ready. here we go then. you've found the ideal hiding place. tell me, marika... why are the kyoto mountains violet? -that's true. they're the colour of adzuki. it's a pretty colour. she was my wife. she died of cancer ten years ago. -her name was sanae. she was... a very beautiful woman. yes. very beautiful. and you? -i don't even know if... i never managed to have children. i've been a widow 15 years. his name was lucien. cancer too. i didn't know. -no, you didn't know. no one told you. lucien's illness didn't matter here. pierre arthens' death is a tragedy but the death of a janitor... it's just a dip in the daily routine. good night, renée. -good night, kakuro. it was a fantastic day. you stupid fool! what were you thinking? you're just a hideous janitor, that's all. -you mad old cow... you're not filming me? it's sunday. taking the day off? watch this... i'm going to varnish my big toenail. -when i grow up, i want to be a janitor. wonderful idea, dear. if we can do anything to assist you, we're here to help, aren't we? exactly. when i grow up, i want to be a janitor. -no, i don't think so. you'll be a princess. i want to be a janitor. hello, young lady. hello. -maybe i'll come back later. if you want. are you well? yes. will you have dinner with me? -i'd like to take you to a restaurant i'm fond of. a restaurant? it's my birthday and i'd like to celebrate it with you. i'm sorry. i don't think it's a good idea. -why not? it's very kind and i'm grateful but i'd rather not. i don't understand. it's for the best. believe me. -goodbye. what are you up to? nothing at all. you're busy tonight? no, that's not why... -why then? i don't think it's a good idea. why not? why not? do i know why not? -i don't know... oh, my god, paloma... i don't want you seeing me like this! i'm so stupid! don't say that, mrs michel. don't say that. -don't say that, mrs michel. don't say that. dear kakuro... if you haven't changed your mind, i would be happy to have dinner with you tonight. -all the best, renée. "dear renée, please accept these few simple gifts. "all the best. kakuro. " -you look wonderful! thank you. you too, you're very elegant. thank you. good evening, mr ochou. -good evening, madam. goodbye, madam. she didn't recognize me. she didn't recognize me. because she's never seen you before. -happy birthday then. thank you very much. you know, i have to tell you... i haven't bought you anything. nothing at all? no. -i knew you'd be wise enough not to buy me anything. enjoy your meal. thank you. is this octopus? yes, as sashimi. -and this too... is octopus. renée... i'm very happy you decided to come tonight after all. i'm sorry about that... don't be. renée, i wanted to tell you something important. -renée, we can be friends and whatever we want. renée, we can be friends and whatever we want. thank you. "all happy families are alike. " "but each unhappy family is unique. " -jean-pierre! you're in the middle of the street! mother michel! lost your cat? don't stay there! -if i could, i'd laugh. but i'm thinking of manuela. she'll blame herself forever that the dry cleaning van ran me down. it's punishment for taking the dress. neptune... it's silly, i still feel like laughing. -i suppose death makes us a little crazy. kakuro... my heart is as tight as a kitten curled up in a ball. i'd love one last glass of saké with you. how can you determine a life's value? -paloma, may yours fulfil the promise you show. what's wrong? renée is dead. who's renée? mrs michel. -paloma? paloma, what's wrong? telling manuela was awful. when she heard it was that van, she fainted. heart-breaking. -paloma. all she said was, "forgive me, renée... " so that's it. everything stops all of a sudden. -is that what dying is? you no longer see those you love, you no longer see those who love you. if that's what dying is, it really is as tragic as people say. what was this goldfish doing here? if this has any meaning, it escapes me entirely. -what matters isn't the fact of dying but what you're doing when you die. renée, what were you doing at the moment you died? you were ready to love. parents, this way, please. ready! -meal boxes are here. i'll go get the money. the meal boxes are outside. how much are they each? $65 special price for the hearing impaired. -i need to go to work. be careful. thank you. why is she in a hurry? she hasn't eaten her meal. -she's not on the swimming team. she's my sister, yang yang. yang yang. are you okay? i'll take you to the hospital. -you can come get your scooter later. thanks. sorry i can't stay. i need to deliver other meal boxes. your msn. -can i have it? i'll give you 15% off next time. sorry, sorry. tian kuo, what's the matter with you? why so long? -you made delivery to the usa? great. look at those. now you get to eat all the canceled orders. don't you dare leave any unfinished. -where's the basket? did you lose it again? the basket was new! brand new! help. -another customer wants 7 lunch boxes. dad, i've got 7. you! stay quite and eat your food. those cold meal boxes can't sell. -see? i am eating cold meal boxes myself. look at yourself! i wonder who will marry you. hurry up. -i know. i am stir-frying veggies. why don't you ask tian kuo to help. it's already 1 o'clock, he needs to eat. the kid's still growing. -i don't know people at 20 still grow. they are kids as long as they are not married. cook! boys. is there a special meaning to her name? -does her voice sound like singer jolin or chiling? like your mom. mom! what are you doing! don't peak at my screen. -peek at what? finish your food and stop talking to yourself. focus. make sure that you don't leave any scraps. or you'll marry an ugly, pimpled-face wife. -mom, look! i finished everything. you really finished everything. now you need to exercise and burn the calories. or you'll be like your father with a donut waist. -i remember when i first married your father, i was still skinny and sexy. after i've started eating his meal boxes, i became what i am now- spare tire around my waist. this is what you get with calories. -what are you doing? what are you up to? i'm too old for that. here, here. you're going to marry an ugly wife. -finish your food. thank you. come over. thank you. sorry. -we're sold out today. sorry. they're all gone today. we'll have more tomorrow. thank you! -we're sold out. sorry. isn't there still one left? it's already ordered. sorry. -hey. it's you again. i forgot to thank you yesterday. also forgot to ask your name. my name is tian kuo. -tian kuo. hi. i was online using msn last night. but i didn't see you. i worked last night, so i didn't go online. -i saw people lining up for your meal box. your meal box must be really famous. of course. my dad learned with a famous chef from hong kong. no one can beat him in cooking. -smile again. smile again. please. it's delicious. thanks. -how's your injury? does it still hurt? it's my treat. that won't do. i'll pay you when i get paid. -i've got a way. what is it? come watch a movie with me. in exchange for the meal box. i'll pay for the ticket. -how long is the movie? about 2 hours. i can't. it's too long. i don't have enough time. -i need to go to work. watch out. she can't hear me anyway. offline again? what¡¦s the use for msn? -you must be busy. never go online. i don't even see you at the stadium anymore. now i sell one less meal box. is she angry... because of the meal box money? -(chicken leg meal box-- sender : meal box kuo) when i first met you, you were like a water bird. flying far and high, by stepping on the water. why water birds can soak in water for some time without catching a cold? -because water birds' feathers produce oil. so they won't catch a cold. she must find my water bird theory boring. (melancholic rice bowl-- sender : meal box kuo) -yang yang, what kind of job do you do? why don't you find a stable job? doing menial jobs is very tiring. the pay is not stable, and what if you meet a bad person. it's dangerous. -you got to be careful. she must think i'm too nagging. must be my mom. always nagging at me. i must have inherited it from her. -inherit what from who? it hurts. so you still know feel pain? (your water bird theory is interesting, ) what, you think i'm going to beat you? -to be frank, i'm really tired. freeze. still so cute. (but i don't like to stay in the water. ) (i'm going with my sister to the gym. ) -(you coming? ) isn't this better than watching a movie? when you swim, watch your arms. you didn't lift your back, and your body. -i don't understand. you don't understand? watch your arms, and keep your back straight. let me. when you swim, you need to arch your body. -xiao peng knows how to read lips? no. she knows how to read facial expressions. since she was young she knew how to read people, and knew what the adults wanted before they asked. so the adults always took a liking to her. -it's really because she can't hear. that's why she's so sensitive. how come you're the only one working? yet xiao peng can focus on swimming? xiao peng used to work. -however, in order to be trained by this coach, she quit her job to fit his schedule. where are your parents? my dad is a missionary. after my mom passed away, -i promised dad that i would take good care of her. so dad could focus on his work in africa. it feels like you're the elder sister. she feels like the younger one. you don't have siblings, do you? -i am the only son. your parents must dote on you. dote? i suppose so. this is pork bone soup with lotus seeds. -whitens your skin. promotes metabolism. that's not a good one. promotes metabolism. lowers blood pressure. -it even burns away fat. no way. she's already too skinny. who's too skinny? mom! -why do you talk so loud but walk so silently? really? you also stewed a pot of soup? that's a big meal box. who is it for? -it's a meal box for charity. meal box for charity. who are you cherishing? huang tian kuo where are you going? -there is a lot of portions in that meal box. do you know what price it should be? nothing lower than $90! did you hear me? charity is priceless. -what do you mean "priceless"? young man, it's important to know market prices. (i am standing right in front of your door. ) hey sorry did you wait for a long time? -not really. the soup is still warm. the economy must be really bad. you guys spent so much time on the soup... just to attract people to buy the meal box. actually... -it's delicious. it's better today... the meal box must be expensive? it's free. it's a left over. -that won't do. i must pay. i must. it's fine. it's fine. -i'll count the meal box as $80 is that too cheap? you don't have much partition in your home. feels spacious. the hearing impaired need visual aid. if they can't see everything they become uneasy. -so dad insisted that we live in an open space. that way we can see everything in the house. is $85 enough? there are so many medals. they all belong to xiao peng. -there. and there. this was xiao peng's first champion medal. that's awesome. xiao peng is really good at swimming, and she excels in academics. -she's not like me. all i do is play. i thought you are all work, no play. since your father is away. you have to earn all the living expenses. -must be tiring. it's not. i just need to hold on during the training. after we win we can pay the loans off. then life will be easier for us. -or is it $90? i need to go to work now. you're not going to eat? take a seat. go ahead and take it. -say thank you. bye bye. you can't move unless i give you money, right? so you can't just leave in a hurry, right? i've always wanted to tell you something. -but we never spent enough time together. sometimes you would be gone before i can tell you. i've never met someone like you. all you ever speak of is xiao peng. you never mentioned anything about yourself -because you never think about yourself. this has caused me to think of you more. i still miss you after i went home, and i still wanted to talk to you. sign language is not tiring to me at all. kiddo. -she'll only move if you throw in money. thanks. you hungry? lets go grab something to eat. i've got money now. -i'll treat. i need to remove my make-up first. wait for me. okay. fire! -take the car away! there's a fire upstairs. is anyone still inside? fire! big bowl or small bowl? -super bowl. you find a seat i'll go order. delicious. fishball soup. -i'm so satisfied. i haven't been so fulfilled in a long time. i wanted to ask you. if no one gave you money during your performance... you would just stand there? -of course not. dummy. what then? go home. this is the way the "street performance" is. -it's not possible to make money every day. are you full? my stomach feels warm. it's such a sensation. check? -2 bowls of noodles, please. be right with you. 2 bowls over here. 2 large bowls of wonton noodles. 5 side dishes. -that's $275. 2, please. hold on just a sec. this table is almost ready. this table is almost ready. -i'll take this for you. thank you. here's is 300. just a sec. no problem. -too tired to walk. too full? did i say something wrong? will you tell me what's wrong? do you look down... on the money i earned? -why would you think that? i already said it's my treat. why did you pay? because there were people waiting behind us. i didn't want to delay other people's time. -so what if we let 'em wait. do you know how long it took me to earn them? can't they wait just a little bit. and you? why can't you wait for me? -it's not that. i just... just what? you think it embarrassing that i pay in coins? no, i didn't... -one dollar coins are still money. do i need to be pushed around for counting coins? i just paid in advance. you can pay me back. it's fine. -i'll pay back when i've changed the coins into cash. in case you think coins are too bothersome. that's not... yang yang are you ok? -i'm fine. sorry. if only i were at home. it's not your fault. i fell asleep and wasn't aware of the fire. -i should have came home earlier. you¡¦re so busy how could you have known about the accident? look at you. you haven't even washed off your make-up? -go home and rest. i just choked on the smoke. don't think too much of it. what if the fire was more severe? what if you weren't only choked by the smoke? -what if the fire department had not come in time? then i would have lost you. my most precious yang yang i had mixed feeling when i knew what happened. i am worried that you girls would be scared, but i know that god, in his power, will show his grace and keep you safe. -just as he has blessed my work in africa. yang yang. god has special arrangements for xiao peng. and for you as well. don't let yourself be engulfed by guilt and doubt, and don't let your friends feel pressured. -i pray for my beloved daughters daily. (immanuel. ) (your loving father. ) the coach said xiao peng has throat and rib damaged. would it affect her eligibility to the deaflympics? -the coach is still evaluating. maybe he'll just rearrange the relay team order. xiao peng has really high expectations for herself. if she knew she might affect everyone's score in a negative way, it would upset her. don't let her know. -we'll just work harder. that way we'll make up for the score. (where are you? ) what are you doing here? -what are you thinking? what if you can't compete because of me? is that what you're worried about? you're not worried. you don't need to worry. -i'll catch up to everyone when i've recovered. the coach told me yesterday, that i have improved my performance by 0.1 second. therefore i can rest 1/10 of the time. it'll be fine. what is this? -is it for me? in order for you to hear me, my words are soft like a seagull's footprint. wonton noodles. thank you. where's the cute mute girl from last time? -what's the use of cuteness when you're mute? would you have let me marry a deaf girl? what a pity. she was cute, but she was mute. she is not a mute. -she's hearing-impaired. we can hear. she can't. she has a name, and her name is yang yang. her sign language name is: -yang yang. are you okay? eat something. i don't want to. what's wrong? -you don't make those charity boxes anymore. rejected? rejection. i don't even know if our love ever started. has it really started? -i don't know. i know. before i met your mother, i've been rejected 23 times. 23 times? -quiet down or your mom will hear me. turn on the faucet. come. dad, i'm surprised you have such a rich history. it was just tough luck, not being able to meet your mother first. -she's a good woman. even though she's loud and nagging, but she still takes care of the household and us. just now, she yelled at you outside, then she came in and tells me to console you. that's how she is. she seems tough but she's soft hearted. -what do you mean? she's got a knife for a mouth and tofu for a heart. honestly, what kind of girls do you like? when you're in a stable relationship, don't forget to bring her home so we can meet her. dad, would you let me date... a girl who can't hear? -dear, what's up? did he say anything? is he still sad? what kind of a girl, can sweep our tian kuo off his feet? -i would like to see if she is fat or skinny. she can't hear. can't hear? you mean "can't hear" as in her ears don't work? duh. -what else could it be? her nose? move the chairs. dear, you okay? i'm fine. -tian kuo said that although she can't hear, she is a hard working, optimistic, cute, lively, filial, amicable, and kind girl. she is nice to her sister, and everyone around her. tian kuo said so. there's nothing wrong with not being able to hear. so long as you don't say anything no one will know. -what if you need to say something? then write it down. don't forget that tian kuo know sign language. tian kuo does, but we don't. no. -that's true. (march to deaflympics xiao peng #1) tian kuo. huang tian kuo. -come down and go deliver lunch boxes. how many take outs? 3. 3 take-outs. where is he? -doesn't he know we're busy? what. your sign language sucks. luckily i understand. go. -go. go. i don't need you to tell me. i'm his mom. what's the hurry. -tian kuo. tian kuo. will you come help mommy? mom. dad. -tian kuo. take this to the hong tai company. the receipt is on top. okay. ride carefully. -thank you. tian kuo, your safety helmet. you must wear the helmet. thanks, mom. here. -this is $3,000. keep it. don't hurry back. go have fun with your friends. buy or eat something with this money. -yeah, and... cheer up. yes, yes, yes... cheer up is the way to go. are you still mad at me? -sorry, i didn't mean to fight with you last time. will you forgive me, please? will you stop being angry? i'm love-sick. -don't hit me. girls shouldn¡¦t be so narrow minded. i already said i didn't look down on small money. will you stop being unreasonable? who would be angry for cash or coins? -don't think you're the only one with dignity. i have temper too. it's finished. she'll never talked to me again. isn't an apology enough? -what's up? are you okay? i'm fine. we're going to eat later. you want to come? -sure. just go back. you? i'll wait for them. i can wait with you. -there's no need. we're going to eat later. i can go with you guys. i don't want you to come.

(so to prevent that from happening to you, ) -(take me and plant me in your home. ) have you ever thought that we might not get along? not everyone can love water birds and trees. maybe someone wants me to disappear. and you... become extinct. -you drank alcohol? what were you thinking? you've just recovered, you can't drink. what if it affects your training? have you forgotten your dream? -you only care about my dreams. what about yours? what? what is your dream? doesn't living for another person bother you? -what are you talking about? your dream is my dream. why must you steal my dream? steal? you are you, and i'm me. -why do you project my dream on yourself? no one can live for another person. i may not be able to hear, but i still need my own life. i won't get gold medals my entire life. you shouldn't sacrifice your life for me. -can you tell me what happened? the coach told me, my performance has regressed. it's probably going to affect my eligibility. you can't compete anymore? -no i can't. i've lost the chance to compete this year, the chance to show the world how hard i've worked, and the chance for you to wave that flag for me. all of the hard work is for nothing. sorry. -sorry. it's all my fault. sorry. don't you understand? all this has nothing to do with you. -i'm not sorry that i cannot get a medal, it's because i can't get the medal for you! for me? you work so hard. you never go out dating. you skip meals. -you've sacrificed everything for me, but i can't win a gold medal for you. how can i face you? how will we pay the loan without the prize money? don't worry about the loan... i'm your elder, but i let you take care of me. -who's taking care of whom, does it matter? i don't want to be your burden. you are not my burden. you are my sister. i only need to stand still when i perform. -but when you swim, you're competing in milliseconds. to have you as an elder sister, makes me so proud. when we were kids. you ignored those who bullied you. you never got angry. -yet when someone bullied me, you would go and beat 'em up. having you as my elder sister, i feel so proud. you've never been a burden to me. if there is a next life, -will you still be my sister? (happy meal box boy : how are you? ) (me too. -you need to rest. ) (march to deaflympics xiao peng #1:) (you have the wrong person. ) (you must have mistaken me for another girl) -(i am yang yang. ) (i know you are yang yang. ) (since you never reply to my messages, ) (and i can't stop thinking of you, ) (i fantasized that you wrote me many messages) -(then i replied to them. ) (i can go to sleep now. ) (are we that familiar? ) (do you think that we won't get along) -(because of hearing problems? ) (do you have a dream? ) (yes. ) -(marry a girl, ) (have 2 kids. ) (one boy, one girl. ) (is it an impossible dream, ) (for a hearing person to date someone) -(who is hearing impaired? ) (it's easier than your sister winning a medal) why is she ignoring me again? did i say something wrong again? -yang yang i love you. i love you. she's gone again. it's so beautiful here. -do you remember catching crabs when we were kids? i do. we always returned home all messy and smelly. mom used to yell at us so angrily. i laughed and said that you ran like a water bird. -a boy once told me, that i looked like a water bird. he's seen you run as well? is that boy tian kuo? yes. -he looks like a good guy. you two are a good match. i'm not going to date him. why? he can't hear neither. -do you like him? i've often thought of him. how come you can't just say you like him? is it because of me? egrettas fly according to seasons. -i hope you can be like an water bird, and not be confined to one place. if you leave me one day, and fly freely like a water bird. i would be very happy. you don't want me to stay by your side? no, i don't mean that. -i want you to believe that i can be independent. i didn't say i don't believe you. if you believe that i could be independent, why would you reject a deaf person? it's because you spend all your time on me. you think you can't take care of him. -you don't think the deaf can take care of others. dad always encouraged us, and told us to never give up. i did not give up swimming. you should not give up on him. what's up? -for me? yeah. when did it arrive? i don't know. i thought it belonged to a customer, but it said tian kuo. -you are huang tian kuo, so it must be yours. there's money too. lots of it. why did you come back? she probably hasn't gone too far.. -so what if i get her back. even if i get her back, would you guys accept her? that's the girl who can't hear? the hard-working, optimistic, cute, lively, energetic, filial, kind, nice to her sister, and nice to everyone? yes. -dear. we should find time to learn sign language. what? you know. mommy just loves to talk. -sometimes my chin gets sore because i talks too much. it's good to let it rest every once in a while. that would be better, right? yes, then my ears can rest too. you think i'm noisy? -you're the one that said it, not me. so you guys are okay? thank you mom, thank you dad. i love you guys. i love you guys to death. -yang yang i want to invite you home for dinner. why? i want to introduce you to my parents. why? -because i like you. i want to be your boyfriend. but i can't hear. they won't accept me. they will see. -besides, you told me before, if the deaf cannot see, then they will be uneasy. i guarantee you, i will let you, and them see my love for you. can i invite you home for dinner? why? -i want to introduce you to my parents. why? i want to give you a job at our restaurant. but i can't hear. will your parents agree? -they... will see will see my... they will see your effort and dedication. dad mom dad mom -dear, they are here. so pretty. this is the girl i was talking about. yang yang. hurry. -let her sit. they asked you to have a seat. tian kuo's mom, that's me. move on.

true. how are they related? are they related? i don't think so. -i must have said something in front of you. yeah. yesterday. technically, you've said something behind me. you heard all that? -then why did you lie to me? you didn't tell me the truth neither. i asked you why you're inviting me to your house. you said you were going to find me a job. so -you didn't come here to see my parents because i can hear, right?

i've actually imagined your voice. -yeah. who does it sound like? just like you. how did you become so skilled in sign language? when i was in college, -i met a sign language teacher. he asked me if i was interested. so i studied under him. you must have been a diligent student. honestly, after i met you, -i spent a lot of work on my sign language. when i was young, i did not like sign language, because i always have to trans late for xiao peng, so i never have enough time for myself. until one day, xiao peng asked me if the piano sounds nice. -then i started crying. from that day on, i studied sign language diligently. i want her to understand all of the sounds. i got it. -i got it. it's like when i wanted you to hear the rain. why? i think it sounds like longing. when did the water bird i gave you have siblings? -whenever i think of you, i'll throw in a dollar. slowly, each one filled to capacity. so i had to buy a new one. i know you love me, but can you let me go first? -did you see xiao peng? xiao peng? where? thanks. go. -go. go. why didn't you go to practice? i quit the game what do you mean? -i can't regain my speed in time. i've decided to look for a job first, and practice while i work. when i'm ready i'll enter the next competition. don't worry about the money. i'll handle it. -just focus on your training. i told you. i cannot get gold medals my entire life. even if i do, i still have to work to support myself. -whether i am a coach or a janitor, as long as i am ready, i can still enter the competition. awesome! so touching i support you! -look at me. lin xiao peng. in my heart. you are already number 1! number 1. -number 1 forever. thank you. number 1. subtitles: arigon -(4 years later. ) (love and dreams are miraculous. ) (they don't need to be heard, to be said, ) (or translated. ) you like my drawing, dad?

but i can still eat chocolate may god protect them -by the way don't worry about the schools by the end of this street there's a very nice school the school owners are my friends and all my female friends send their kids there we'd fill an application to send them there you'll be very happy about it -okay they must send us all around to go park in the parking lot but it's okay, i understand them last month, a man parked his car like this with a bag full of explosives he wanted to put them into the supermarket and blow it up i don't know why we get all this shit -we're living in a safe country yet we're always having all kinds of trouble it's alright honey get o_ with the kids and i'll be right there, i won't be late mom, where are we going?

_es alright i'm egyptian and i want to go back to egypt -can you help me? may god help you no, i don't need any money listen, just tell me how to get to the egyptian embassy i don't know -just wait i don't know anyone here you're the only one who speaks arabic my husband kidnapped me and brought me here against my will and he turned out to be an israeli o_icer he's working for the mossad and his name is even daniel may god help you may god help you, keep away, keep away -don't take me there, just tell me where it is move away please wait up move away you're coming with us or should i take the kids and leave? -the file that's in your hands includes a detailed report of the last mission the most important information we have is that we retrieved all the numbers o_ levi's phone while trying to leave including the number of an employee working in a foreign bank called ezzat abdul hamid unfortunately, he managed to run away moments before we caught him and notjust him along with his wife and kids in the last couple of days we received very strange intel from israel an arabic merchant of the 1948 went to the egyptian embassy and said that while walking on the streets an egyptian lady followed him with her kids -and she asked him to take her to the egyptian embassy because her husband had kidnapped him and brought her to israel against her will after realizing he was an israeli mossad o_icer and his name is daniel when we compared the descriptions of this lady and her kids to those of the disappeared man it turned out that they are the same come here mustapha i brought you some tea tea? yes sir? -this is brigadier general sabri leader of the group who laid the plan of action and he assured me that you're the best to do this mission indeed sir, you carried out plenty of successful missions outside egypt and you understand the israeli society very well you speak their language as if you're one of them so i'm required to go to israel to get the information we want from you -and most importantly, we want you to bring salwa and the kids back me? alone? that's true and bring back salwa who's under the surveillance of all the mossad agents? -of course what? do you have any objections? no, not at all sir there's no time to waste we must start immediately -daniel lavon, his father is an iraqi jewish and his mother is an egyptian jew he contributed to finishing o_ a big number of palestinian and arabic leaders and foreign figures sympathizing with the palestinian cause most of which were dealt with as if they were natural death or murders when do you expect from the network you founded in egypt to start conveying information? we started receiving the first message two hours ago -and this is mentioned in the report its impact will be much bigger than all the wars waged by egypt in the past 100 years so if this network was related to influential and authority figures they could bring down the country's economy what makes you think it's in israel's interest? it's indeed not in egypt's interest but egypt is a friendly state and we're not enemies -you can say that on tv or in the press but in fact, egypt is the most dangerous arabic state to us and we should always beware of that fact daniel, nobody here's underestimating your e_orts we charged you with this mission and we're most aware of its goals -and you've spent two years in egypt and we want to know your viewpoint i think it's just the beginning and we still need other spying networks and if we have the ability to cause endless trouble to the egyptian people this is what we should b e doing and his wife why did he take her with him? -he could have left her here and just take the kids i don't know and i don't think any mossad member know the answer to that only daniel can answer that question i refuse to answer that question it's a personal matter it has nothing to do with the mossad the mossad has to do with everything salwa is the perfect camouflage to a person like daniel she's an orphan -her father died when she was 2 years old and her mother died a year after that salwa left the country to live with her aunt in zaraziq and when she grew up, they left to iraq you can find her photo in that file daniel was living in the flat next door in baghdad -of course, they met by chance he convinced her that he fell in love and they got married exactly and when her aunt's husband died he went back to egypt with them 2 years ago based on our investigations salwa's daughter is allergic -the closest drugstore to their house is owned by a jew of egyptian origins called victor hamos you'll work in that pharmacy to be able to meet salwa naturally and who'll take me there sir? the anfar contractor is working in the separation wall, his name is abu-ziad after 7 years of marriage she has no one else in her life i'm scared she'd accept the reality and agree to live with him -this is why you must be sure mustafa before getting close to her that she didn't give in for in that case, it would be impossible to recruit her you'll leave jordan to the israeli borders from there, you'll find the guide who'll take you to the separation wall there, you'll meet abu-ziad reading torah paragraphs about the jews' exodus from egypt -happy passover why don't you come and sit with us outside? no thank you anyway, happy holiday to you are there any dwarves in your story? -yes, but they're my own original creation. there's crabby... drunky... hungry! greedy! -lenny! kearney! lisa: ... and doc... tor hibbert.

(rolls tongue, giggles) bring me snow white's heart in this box. what'll i do with the rest of the body? put it in this box. -then you'll get your reward. (thunder crashes) (humming) now turtle, i'll need you to get in the soup. (chuckles) -(gasping, screaming) (laughing) (screams) i i-i cannot do it! -run, lassie! find wee little men, and hide with them! now to fool the queen with a pig's heart. i i cannot do it! -(squeals) maybe i'll make her a heart out of construction paper. i i-i cannot do it! let's see... gingerbread house... -grandma's house... ah, here we are. (yawns) all that walking made me sleepy. this bed's too hard. this bed's too soft. -and this bed is just... like the first one, also too hard. i guess i'll sleep in the one that's too soft. (yawns) * ho-hi, ho-hi, it's time to now to get high * * we'll take some shrooms and go to our rooms... * -there's something in our house! let's put a pickaxe in its brain! you're in marketing. why do you even bring an axe? if you were in marketing, you'd know. -(door creaks) she's beautiful! hmm, maybe she's been placed under some kind of a curse. and all that will wake her is the kiss of a handsome... i'm awake! -i'm awake already! (sighs) guess it's you and me again, doorknob. (makes kissing sounds) snow white: good-bye! -now beware of the evil queen. she's a master of disguise. she could be anyone! i'll be careful. (chuckles) -no, no, no, that's too much! go back outside! (growls sadly) who are you? care for an apple? -okay. um... i'll take a green one. no, take the red one. (both grunting) -take a bite, dearie! (muffled gasps) (laughs) uh-oh. you'll never take me alive! -(sarcastically): ooh, herbivores. i'm so scared. (screaming) lisa: -so snow white slept and waited for her prince to come... but he never did... because a woman shouldn't have to depend on a man. snow white was brought back to life by a lady doctor. and she lived happily ever after? well, she couldn't indulge in strenuous activities like handball, but otherwise she was fine. that's nice. -marge, i need some bribe money! well, don't say it so loud. all i have are some dry-cleaning coupons. deal. thanks, marge. -but don't forget, there's still gonna be a civil suit. (sighs wearily) lisa, let me tell you the story of a great woman held back by a not-so-great husband... macbeth! (grunts) out, damned spot! -out, i say! marge, please, if you don't like getting barbecue sauce out of a leotard, why did you get into show business? think before you do. oh! i wouldn't be stuck washing costumes if my husband had a better role. -well, i may be playing a tree, but at least i'm getting my face out there. oh... i thought i was marrying a man who could play macbeth. hey, there's no way i could ever be as good as that guy. stars, hide your fires. -let not light see my black and deep desires. mel's like the son laurence olivier and john gielgud always wanted, but never had. but, oh, how they tried. i think mel would be happier as an understudy. a six-feet-understudy. -you're not suggesting... murder? wouldst thou live a coward in thine own esteem, letting "i dare not" wait upon "i would?" whatever you say, sweetie. snore. snore! -oh, a prop knife. out, out, brief candle. life's but a walking shadow... why does everyone around here talk that crazy talk? that "crazy talk" is the work of the immortal bard, -william shakespeare. well, if you see him in heaven, tell him he sucks. as you all know, this afternoon, the bone fell out of mel's hair and beat him to death. let us observe a moment of silence. moment over. -homer, you got the lead. stay, you imperfect speakers. tell me more. um... by sinel's death, i know i am thane of glamis... -uh, to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow... today's tuesday, so that would make it friday, and then, uh... shakespeare! you don't even know your lines! (in girly voice): -conrad birdie? coming here to sweet apple? that's bye-bye birdie! damn it, morpheus. not everyone believes what you believe. -that's the screenplay for the matrix reloaded. d'oh! i can't wait for the reviews. tonight the springfield community playhouse was bathed in the light of a brilliant new star... dr. hibbert as banquo? -! who the hell is banquo? he's the one getting the good reviews. which makes him the next one you've got to kill. wouldn't it be easier if i just took acting lessons? -screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail. that's inspiring. what's that from? bull durham? macbeth! -mac-who? (laughing) (laughing and coughing) this number is for emergencies only. (dr. hibbert laughing on phone) -he who laughs last laughs dead. "in last night's macbeth, "the best performance was barney gumbel as duncan, "followed by duffman as macduff, lenny leonard as lennox, "eddie and lou as the two soldiers without lines, then, last and least, the lead, homer simpson. " -why do they write a new review of this play every single day? all i heard was more names of actors you haven't killed. unless you're not man enough. no, dear. i'm a man, dear. -(conga music plays) * killing makes me hungry * * eating makes me thirsty * * drinking makes me sleepy * why did he have to kill everyone in their costumes? -it was you who killed us. you! no, it was homer! your dark ambition guided his murderous hand. no. -i just encouraged him. encouraged by withholding sex! sex... (spooky moaning) (marge screaming and thudding on ground) (sobbing) -well, at least you can't nag me anymore. that's where you're wrong. get out on that stage! ow! okay, homer, it's our last performance, you're the only actor that's still alive, and there's nobody in the audience. -this is your moment. i'll be in my office going over the books on my subway sandwich franchise. you call a sandwich maker an artist, it's like an invitation to steal! a guy's going nani-nooni bananas in there! it's my moment. -to-morrow, and to-morrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace, from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time. and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. out, out, brief candle! life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. (clapping) -oh, homie. you were brilliant. i knew you could do it. i knew it. now nothing will stop you from taking on all of shakespeare's greatest roles. -king lear. hamlet. othello. richard the third. henry the fourth, part one. -henry the fourth, part two. henry the fifth. titus andronicus. (gunshot firing and thudding) me having to read all those plays would be the real tragedy. -oh! that's it, three stories. that's what we always tell. looks like maggie wants a story, too. ooh. -"the fountainhead. " mom, isn't that book the bible of right-wing losers? yeah, but the guy on the book jacket is one sexy slice of beefcake. (purring) so, anyway, this is the story of maggie roarke, an architect who refused to compromise. -now, children, while i do traffic school online, you'll be playing with blocks. marge: maggie's genius and creativity far exceeded that of the others. and i'm not just saying that 'cause i'm her mother. but her teacher, mr. ellsworth toohey, wanted every child to conform. -banal. very banal. ooh, wonderfully pedestrian. oh, this isn't right. maggie, dancers shouldn't kick too high, and buildings mustn't reach the sky. -there. hmm... your rubble is still a little bit higher than the others. so, let's just... there. -welcome to the real world, baby. he would not let maggie's creativity flower. * * mediocrity rules! alright, maggie. -today is parent-teacher day, so i want everyone to see how uncreative and beaten-down you've become. that's right, you're beaten-down. yes, you are. i don't know how you put up with all these kids, toohey. if i were you, there'd be a lot of strangled babies. -now, let' see what your children have done, shall we? don't brace yourselves, you will believe your eyes. it... (gasping) you will be tried as a toddler. -babies and gentlemen of the jury... this child's crime was to remind the rest of us that we are merely ordinary. when a blade of grass rises above the others, do we applaud it? no, we cut it down. i recommend nine time-outs, served consecutively. (clearing throat) -throughout the ages, the finger painter, the play-doh sculptor, the lincoln-logger, stood alone against the daycare teacher of her time. she did not live to earn approval stickers. she lived for herself, that she might achieve things that are the glory of all humanity. these are my terms. i do not care to play by any others. -and now, if the court will allow me, it's nap time. (yawning) maggie grew up to be a world-famous architect. her building became one of the wonders of the world. and on the very top floor was a daycare center where every child was free to follow their dream. -because nothing is... (gasping) maggie, get away from there! bad baby! captioned by media access group at wgbh access. wgbh. org -* ho-hi * * ho-hi, ho-hi * * it's time to say good-bye * * if disney sues, we'll claim fair use * * ho-hi, ho-hi, ho-hi, ho-hi * -* ho-hi, ho-ho * * there's nothing we won't try * * we'll get take-out and the make out * * we're bi, we're bi, we're bi, we're bi. * (song ends) -shh! hi! yes um, i was wondering if i could get driving directions... to a nightclub called bunker. yes, bunker. how exactly would i get there? -it's amy! hello, sweetie! ok. how are you? we miss you is strong! -yes, we wanted to be here with us. yes. and how far is it? no we're in germany. then we travel to italy in a couple days. -great. thanks. alveterzane! i know. tell her we got her a present from holland. -yeah we got you a present. no we can't tell you what it is, it's a surprise. oh yeah, the other thing is that we met this cut german waiter. jenny thinks he's pretty cute yeah, and he invited us to a party tonight. -so we're going to go. but we should go. maybe we can talkto you later. ok. all right. -we miss you! bye, anie! kisses! ok. bye, sweetie! -i think we were suppose to turn turn! i thought you know exactly where we sere going! do we go left or right? i'm sorry, but i just don't know where we are. -what was that? i have no idea. you must have run over a pot whole or something. we need to go out and check it out. shit! -shit! shit! why? oh god! okay, okay ... -okay. we call the rental car service. get the papers. okay. okay. -219, 200, 806. what... there's no signal. what? -there's no signal! there's always a signal. not out here in the middle of nowhere. oh my god, shit! oh my god, get back in the car. -ok ... now what? i don't know. you know how to change a tire? no, i don't know how to change a tire. -neither do i. what are we suppose to walk until we find a house or a person or something? lindsay! lindsay. i am not getting out and walking. -okay we're just going to sit here, until the sun comes up. i have heels and shorts on! i'm not going outside! are those headlines? okay. -role down your window. are you kidding? ! i'm not going to just role down the window. role down the window. -he can help. german yeah um, we need help. we have a flat tire. no, we speak english. -can you help us? do not understand what he says. um, can you call someone?

just for a party? it's really quite elaborate. no expense spared. taxpayers' dollars spent as though we were the enemy. -we need to find a conciliatory process that includes the interests of the natives, persuades them. all interests will be considered. then we step aside and let the future run its course. let's go. move it. -honored guests, a toast. to my niece, ka'iulani. may she grow to be a leader of this great nation one day. may this lighting ceremony be a glowing remembrance to our people of your royal birthright. -ladies and gentlemen, at the request of his majesty, king kalakaua, princess ka'iulani will now light the city of honolulu for the very first time. i'm nervous for the ceremony. don't be. -you'll stand proud for your mother. i know it. to the hope of our nation. the hope of our nation. your majesty. -your highness. wait for the word. your highness, if you will. let's go, men. go, go, go! -ka'iulani. protect the princess! what's this intrusion? these are the voices of hawaii. the citizens you've chosen to ignore. -these people demand a new governance. they demand election of a new cabinet and the dismissal of premier gibson. the king will sign this constitution, or we will take the palace by force. here is my offer to you. there will be none of my people's blood shed tonight. -release premier gibson, and you won't be shot right where you stand. release him. what have you done, thurston?

you're taking her away from me again. you won't be happy till there's nothing left of her. -no. no, no, no, no. that's not true. hey. hey, hey. -why are you making me go? this is where she is. no. baby girl. hey. -mama's with god now. thank you. welcome. you're a sight for sore eyes, theo, hey?

-father says you may be leaving us. i don't want you to go. why does it matter? you're off to university anyway. it matters. -it matters. you have no idea, do you? the hell it's been living with you. seeing you every day, the way you smile. your laugh, your perfume. -hell?

"notify the princess." why? -why? victoria, you're getting married. did you know? these. did you know? -i did. am i that weak in your eyes? no. i thought that i would wait until we were married. -and i'm just to follow in your pursuits? no. i love you. you've said that. victoria-- -there is no victoria. there never was. ka'iulani. ka'iulani, wait. i made a mistake. -i'm sorry. you said you'd follow me if i had to go. i know, and i will. if it comes to that, then i will follow you. stop. -do you think that you mean more to me than my country? do you? ka'iulani. i... i had cross words with theo last night. -why would he do it? he has his own interest to protect, i suppose. feels miserable about the way that things have worked out between you and the boy. he should. whether or not it's the best time, the boy loves you. -but he left. so it doesn't really matter, does it? tell me how we lost our country. do you remember your uncle's bodyguard from all those years ago? yes. -well, he organized a rebellion after dole and thurston had overthrown the government. and the plan was to march on honolulu and force thurston's regime to disband, but his men were not prepared for what lay in wait. it was a massacre from the beginning, i'm afraid. fire! kalehua! -how many dead? too many. and aunt lydia? the palace was overrun with thieves and whores. she was arrested. -she was declared guilty of treason and sentenced to indefinite house arrest with forfeiture of her assets. and the twins? no, i've had no news of either of them. what if we were to appeal to the american president to withhold his support? even if we could find a way to see him, -cleveland hasn't much of his term left. then we will act quickly. don't you think i could persuade a president? well, you are your mother's daughter, i suppose. don't disregard your heart. -why didn't you go after him? pride, i suppose. pride. pride can keep you from many a good thing. now, would you have a read of this, please? -what is it? theo wrote it for you. it's his way of making amends, i suppose. american press will be waiting for you. they know we're coming? -yes, yes. thurston made sure of it. he posted a somewhat inflammatory letter in the main new york journal. why am i not surprised? this needs revisions. -why am i not surprised? i don't know what to expect. here she is. excuse me, coming through. think she'll be barefoot? -more than likely. wait here, ma'am. ladies and gentlemen. ladies and gentlemen. thank you for being here. -i would like to present my daughter, princess ka'iulani of hawai'i. she's pretty. undeniably. she's beautiful. -unbidden, i stand on your shores today-- what? what? can't hear at the back. -what is she saying? louder. i come unattended except for the loving hearts-- speak up, girlie. speak english? -louder. what are you waiting for? i hear that commissioners from my land have been asking this great nation to take away my little vineyard. what did she say? they speak no word to me, -and leave me to find out-- what are you talking about? get on with what you got to say. nothing. she's just a girl. -get on with it. 70 years ago-- what? christian america sent men and women to give religion to hawai'i. today, three sons of those missionaries are appealing to your capitol to undo their fathers' work. -i, a young, inexperienced girl, with not one of my people near me, and all of these statesmen against me, have chosen to stand up for the rights of my people. even now, i hear their wailing in my heart. and it gives me the strength and courage. and i am strong in the faith of god, strong in the knowledge that i am right. strong in the strength of 70 million people who in this free land will hear my cry and refuse to let their flag hide dishonor to mine. -bravo. good for you. well said. thank you. are there any questions? -yes. over here. yes, you, sir. you, sir, yes. princess ka'iulani, will you be meeting with the president? -i'm in the united states as a private individual, with no invitation to the white house. but with your help, i hope to change that. but you can call on him any time, informally. i could not do that. one would not call on a gentleman with whom they are not acquainted informally. -and i do not believe that the public station of president cleveland makes a difference. how long will you wait, then, for an invitation? as long as it takes. and if he won't meet with you? then i shall be here a very long time. -that's all for this afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. thank you very, very much. thank you. rather, the very flower of civilization. her accent says london, her figure new york, but her heart says hawaii. -not at all what i expected, not even a hemi-semi-demi barbarian. christian. set this to print immediately. and the headline? "the princess who imagines she's queen." -i came to america to meet with the president, not to share a hot dog with the first lady. but you're not a statesman. so i'm to have a luncheon-- yes. yes. -under the guise of having a luncheon, we could meet the most powerful man in america. you have to walk a fine line here, ka'iulani. your name is beautiful. and so are you, my dear. much fairer in person than in the papers. -thank you. grover was adamant that you join us. speaking of the devil. a stroke of good fortune. my meeting was cancelled. -i'm available for lunch. the man can always eat. i know you won't take no for an answer, grover. anything i can bring you, ma'am? cumin, please. -your highness, it's been impossible to ignore your stay here. the press absolutely loves you. there are senators on capitol hill that wield less power over the press than you seem to. her highness understands that she's not here on state business. thank you. -what my father is saying is that i am grateful to be a guest and would never presume to talk about the politics of hawai'i. which reminds me of this hen. the hen reminds you of hawaii? it does, actually. natural, unspoiled, perfect. -for as long as anyone can remember, pepper has been the perfect seasoning for hen. lately, though, salt, a white mineral from the sea, has been the fashion. careful to add just a bit, as a perfect balance can be easily upset. should you introduce an american spice, such as cumin... the salt is fortified, the hen destroyed. mr. president, if you please. -it's terrible. tell me, how do we restore the natural flavor? cumin has no place on hen. well, princess, i only have four weeks left in office. but i promise to do what i can to halt the use of...cumin. -you'll need to get your spices in order quickly, young lady. president-elect mckinley is from ohio, and as far as i know, not a very good cook. gentlemen. she may have succeeded in winning over cleveland, but the new president doesn't share his views. mckinley is wise to the riches of this country and what we can do for his. -and he understands that whoever possesses hawai'i controls the pacific. so her plan has failed. what she's done is an act of treason, and we will not stand for it. that's right. -if she does return, i propose that she is immediately incarcerated. what possible good could that do? she's of little relevance to you now. the united states is on your side. -our side? don't you mean justice? yes. yes. of course. -what i'm saying is that to imprison the princess would only create more tension between sides. there is only one side, sanford. ours. it's interesting you haven't realized that yet. are we there yet? -all right, boys. thank you. i have orders to escort you to the queen's residence, princess. please. ka'iulani? -i hardly recognize you. you have become a woman. so beautiful. your country has missed you, ka'iulani. i am so happy you've come back. -what happened? the united states supports the anti-royalists. it is clear to me now that they always intended to do so. we are being annexed. our sovereignty stolen. -the kanaka signed a petition which was ignored. we have been silenced. i'm so sorry. it was a very noble thing you did, my child. unfortunately, you have arrived at the saddest possible time. -the annexation ceremony is tomorrow. i won't attend. i'm hosting a private function-- a kind of funeral... for our nation. a wise woman once said... "we must always make room for the living." -and we will. my dear ka'iulani... please understand my reasons for leaving you. i believe you will find it easier to go home without me. i acted foolishly, and for that i am truly sorry. -but please, i beg you, do not forget us. our love deserves to be guarded. i pray that time will bring us together again. remain courageous, my beloved princess. no one can resist you. -certainly not i. your loving clive. the night my country disappeared. do you swear allegiance to god and country? i do. -where did you get this? may i have a word, your highness? i appreciate your seeing me, your highness. i can only imagine the emotions that you are feeling today. now that hawai'i is u.s. territory, there must be new laws. -to that end, three u.s. commissioners are arriving today to assist me. lorrin thurston and i were wondering if you might-- if you could possibly find it in yourself to host a dinner for these commissioners. i understand. your highness, these commissioners will play a critical role in the future of hawai'i. -their knowledge is limited to what thurston has told them. just be a good hostess. show them our solidarity. it's a very important evening for us. it could be for you as well. -late one night, when we were all in bed old mother leary left a lantern in the shed thank you. when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and said there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight -good evening, your highness. your highness. princess. your highness. good evening. -you are doing your people a great service tonight, princess. evening. i hope so, mr. thurston. your highness. -good evening, sir. ladies and gentlemen. ladies and gentlemen, i am so pleased to see everyone enjoying themselves. don't be afraid to try the poi. it's really quite delicious. -i have the distinguished honor this evening to introduce your hostess, the lovely princess ka'iulani. hear, hear. thank you. i hope everyone enjoyed the local food this evening. the haggis, of course, is not hawaiian, but rather a reminder to my father to stay away from the kitchen staff. -hawai'i is about to enter into the 20th century a changed nation. this evening i offer that we embark on this transition as friends. hear, hear. mr. thurston and mr. dole wanted a popular government. -well, it has arrived under the laws of the american constitution. what does this mean? ask mr. thurston, and he will tell you that if you own land, you can vote. conveniently, the natives do not own land. if you ask one of the commissioners from washington, all present this evening, they will tell you with great pride that any american male who can read -or write can vote. any anglo american, of course. as to the others, one day, they too will be ready to govern. and i look forward to it. -but, regrettably, that is not today. on the contrary, you will find the kanaka are very eager to have a hand in their own governance. miss cleghorn, what are you saying exactly? i'm talking about the right to vote. i petition universal suffrage for all our people. -i beg your pardon. senators, we simply cannot consider a petition from an abrogated heiress. with all due respect, miss cleghorn, our government doesn't recognize you as a statesman. who will present your petition? i will. -your majesty. your highness. ladies and gentlemen, i formally propose a revision to the annexation document. this really is not the time or the place. sanford, please. -the commissioners are all here. i can't think of a better time. yes, she does. might l-- might i remind you the young lady is no longer a princess. -with all due respect. this is absurd. honestly, sanford. have you completely lost your senses? our families developed this land. -our families. and now you alone are proposing to just throw it away. the presence of the united states in these islands must be in the interest of all its people. absolutely. miss cleghorn, how many natives are we talking about? -90%% of all our people. i believe we are compelled to present miss cleghorn's petition to congress. well, what began as a lovely evening has reduced itself to madness. i for one trust that you'll come to your senses. as for now, i bid you good evening. -puiki, help me with your mother's chair. it's time for us to leave. stay. have a seat, mr. dole. good evening. -let him be gone. i think you'll see what i mean. perfect conditions for these types of trees and fauna. how beautiful. -remember going over to that island when you were a wee girl? the colors of the water, i think, are... what just happened? they just crowned her. can they do that? -yes. well, shall we? shall we? this way, commissioner, ladies. ka'iulani... -"lt is with great pleasure that i write to you this letter. the quiet efforts of the princess to obliterate harsh feelings in hawai'i and her acceptance of the new order of things is appreciated by this community. in recognition, the new territory of hawai'i expects to grant all hawaiians full rights of citizenship." the kanaka can vote. yes. -you did it, baby girl. is that the pompous fellow i once drove into a ditch? i always said i'd follow you to hawai'i. you might have come a bit sooner. yes, well, i had some circumstances. -my father passed away. i'm sorry. he left his hawaiian interests in my charge. is that why you're here? no. -you were magnificent back there. did you ever read my letter? i- i did. i've never stopped thinking about you. -i was such a stupid boy, so selfish, l-- i love you, ka'iulani. i love you too. you never left my heart. come back to england. -marry me. why would i go back to england? well, you can't just expect me-- ka'iulani, i have obligations. and so do i. -here. not anymore. well, the country's crumbling. would you really want to stay here and watch it fade away? and what would it fade into without me? -and what would i fade into without it? you are magnificent. goodbye, clive. thank god change was not so violent this time. i think an entire nation died this time, mr. dole. -no, your highness, it lives. it lives in you. hawaiians remember princess ka'iulani as the hope she brought to her people. the flame of our great chiefess burns brightly in the soul of our nation. subtitled by j. r. media services, inc. -burbank, ca ?

why'd you trust me? because i thought your daughter had a right to know that her father cared. why didn't he come back with the rest of you? -the helicopter that we were on was running out of gas, so he jumped so that we could make it to the boat. what a coward. he was trying to do the right thing. he was trying to get away from you. i told him he had a daughter. -he never so much as lifted a finger to try to call her. so now i'm supposed to think he's a hero because he told you to come here and help us?

'cause i don't want 'em talking to anybody else. things are starting to spin out of control here. -all right, i got it. all right, go. who did this? do you know who did this to my son? not yet, but we're working on it. -how's he doing? i don't know. juliet told me to wait out here. let me see if i can get an update for ya. thanks, jim. -roger? yeah? you happen to have your keys with you? yeah. why? -what do you need? i must've left them at-at the house. it's all right. don't worry about it. more gauze. -here's some gauze. yeah, right here, yeah. if we can't stop the hemorrhaging, we're just gonna have to pack the whole tract. okay. where's the doctor? -at the looking glass station till friday. how is he doing? not well. hook him. he's still bleeding in there somewhere, and i can't fix it. -it's all right. no, it's not all right. someone needs to get in there who can find the damage that bullet did and fix it. he needs a real surgeon. you're telling us we're under house arrest? -no, you're all free to leave whenever you want... but i'll shoot you in the leg. and whose idea was this? who do you think? sawyer's just doing his job, jack. what the hell are you doing, tubby? -checking to see if i'm disappearing. what? "back to the future," man. we came back in time to the island and changed stuff. so if little ben dies, he'll never grow up to be big ben, who's the one who made us come back here in the first place. -which means we can't be here. and therefore, dude, we don't exist. you're an idiot. am i? yeah. -it doesn't work like that. you can't change anything. you're maniac iraqi buddy shot linus. that is what always happened. it's just... we never experienced how it all turns out. -this is really confusing. yeah, well, get used to it. but the good news is that linus didn't die, so that means the kid can't either. he'll be fine. didn't look like he was gonna be fine. -what if you're wrong? well, if i'm wrong, then i guess we all stop existing, and none of it matters anyway then, does it? doc, i need you to come with me. come with you where? juliet said the kid's losing blood, and we ain't got none to put back in him. -so we need you to show us where he sprung a leak. no. what? no, i'm not coming with you. if you don't come with me, jack, that kid's gonna die. -then he dies. what are you doing? making some sandwiches. i figured everybody'd be getting hungry by now. he's just a boy, jack. -you can'just let him die. you heard miles. we can't change what's already happened. this has nothing to do with me. unless you're the one who's supposed to save him. -30 years from now, that boy's gonna be a man that locks me in a cage because he needs surgery. and then you're gonna come in and you're gonna beg me to operate on him because he's threatening to murder sawyer. i've already done this once. i've already saved benjamin linus, and i did it for you, kate. i don't need to do it again. -this is our fault. we brought sayid back. we caused this. you know, when we were here before, i spent all of my time trying to fix things. but... did you ever think that maybe the island just wants to fix things itself? -and maybe i was just... gettin' in the way? you know, i don't like the new you. i liked the old you, who wouldn't just sit around and wait for things to happen. you didn't like the old me, kate. -where are you going? just relax. you're okay. i'm sorry. juliet? -one of the new people is here. she heard ben needed blood, says she's a universal donor. this might hurt for a second. good. very brave. -so james told me that jack wouldn't help, but he didn't say why. if i understood why jack does what he does, i sure as hell wouldn't be sitting here. off island, did something happen with you two? we were engaged. -does that count? what's going on? roger, i asked you to wait outside. no, what's going on with my kid? kate is giving us some fresh blood so we can transfuse ben. -well, i'm not waitin' outside. you know, he could stay with me, and you could check on ben, and-and roger here could keep me company, make sure i don't pass out. okay. roger, have a seat. thanks. -sure. he stole my keys. sorry? lafleur asked me where my keys were. that bastard doesn't ask any questions he doesn't know the answers to... which means my son stole my keys so he could bust that animal out of jail. -why-why would he do that? because of me. you got kids? no. i thought i was gonna be the greatest father ever, you know? -i guess it didn't work out that way. what about his mother? is she still around? no, she's dead. she died the day he was born. -i'm sorry. yeah, me too. i tried to do what i thought she'd want me to do, but... i guess a boy just needs his mother. what's going on? -he's going into hypoxic shock. what does that mean? what's the matter with him? he needs more oxygen. roger, get out of here! -what? get him out of here! wait! what--what is-- please, roger, just wait outside. -wait a minute. let me get this straight. all this already happened. yes. so this conversation we're having right now... -we already had it. yes! then what am i gonna say next? i don't know. then your theory is wrong! -for the thousandth time, you dingbat, the conversation already happened, but not for you and me. for you and me, it's happening right now. okay, answer me this. if all this already happened to me, then... why don't i remember any of it? because once ben turned that wheel, time isn't a straight line for us anymore. -our experiences in the past and the future occurred before these experiences right now. say that again. shoot me. please. please? -i can't shoot you. because if you die in 1977, then you'll never come back to the island on the freighter 30 years from now. i can die because i've already come to the island on the freighter. any of us can die because this is our present. but you said ben couldn't die because he still has to grow up and become the leader of the others. -because this is his past. but when we first captured ben, and sayid, like, tortured him, then why wouldn't he remember getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid? i hadn't thought of that. how is he? he's stable. -is he gonna be okay? he's got some fresh blood running through him, which is a good thing. roger, i need you to go out to the medical station. there are some supplies there that we don't have here. hey, i just wanna say, i-i... -i wanna say thanks. i know that you're doing everything you can... to save him, and-- all right,i'm-i'm gonna go,okay? is he any better? he is stable now. -but i can't, um... i can't fix it. what about the sub? i mean, can we take him somewhere? no. -it's gone. it won't be back for a couple of months. but he can't die, right? he is going to die. he is in a medical situation that is not resolvable. -okay, well, we can't just sit here and do nothing. i mean, there's got to be someone who can help him. we have an entire k-- what? maybe there's something they can do. -"they"? the others. you got him? yeah. ready? -one, two, three, go. okay, let's go. i'm coming with you. no, no, no, no. if something goes wrong or we get caught, it doesn't matter for me, but you've got a whole life here. -and besides, if sawyer knew that i got you involved in this, he'd kill me. how are you gonna manage? i'll manage, don't worry. kate, sawyer's gonna find out ben's gone, and when he does, i have to tell him what happened. -but i'll give you as much of a head start as i can. good luck. there's someone... someone here in los angeles. let me take you to them. who? -the same person that's gonna show us how to get back the island. is that what this is about? you knew about this. no, i was o-- and that is why you were pretending to care about aaron, to convince me to go back there? -i wasn't pretending anything. this is insane. you guys are crazy. kate-- jack,don't! -mommy, i'm thirsty. i need some milk. do you want chocolate milk or regular milk? juice box. you don't want milk anymore? -juice box. excuse me. where are you juice boxes? aisle 5. thank you very much. -aaron? um, excuse me. have you seen my son? i'm sorry? a little 3-year-old blond? -aaron? aaron? aaron? aaron! excuse me. -i've lost my son. he's 3. he's a little blond boy. don't worry, ma'am. i'll make an announcement. -no, no, no. you have to seal off the store. you... aaron? hey, is this your mommy? -honey, is this your mommy? i found him in the fruit section. i--he looked lost. i was getting ready to make an announcement. thank you. -thank you very much. it's okay, honey. mommy's got you. mommy's got you. tell-- -tell my-- try not to talk,okay? tell my dad i'm sorry i stole his keys. i know you gotta stop me... but i can't just let that kid die. damn it, freckles. -i ain't here to stop you. i'm here to help you. hi, auntie kate! hi, clementine. is your mommy home? -sure. i'll go get her. they're going back? to the island? why in god's name would they wanna do that? -i don't know. jack says that we weren't supposed to leave. well, jack sounds like a piece of work. you look exhausted. drink this. -curl up on my bed. take a nap. i'll watch your fella. i lost him. what? -i don't know what happened. we were in the supermarket, and i turned around for one second, and he was gone. and, you know, the crazy thing is, is that... as scared as i was... i wasn't surprised. all i could think was, it's about time. -why would i feel that way? i mean, why would i expect him to be taken? because you took him, kate. no, i... claire was gone. -i mean, she left him. i had to take him. he needed me. you needed him. sawyer broke your heart. -how else were you supposed to fix it? figure out how you were gonna carry him out there by yourself? well, the line's just right over there, right? the others are on the other side. well, they ain't right on the other side. -we better get movin'. why are you doing this? why are you helping me? when i found out ben was gone, and juliet told me what you were up to, i asked that exact damn question: -why are you helping ben? and she said, no matter what he's gonna grow up to be, it's wrong to let a kid die. so... that's why i'm doing this. i'm doing it for her. where's jack? -uh, he-he's in the shower. i think. is he in trouble? i just need to talk to him. you two mind giving us some privacy? -hey, ask me more questions about time travel. i needed you. i'm sorry? that kid was bleeding out. you're a surgeon, and i needed you. -that kid is ben. that's not ben yet. he's just a kid. juliet, i'm sorry. i can't help you. -i'm not asking for your help, jack. you made it pretty clear you weren't interested. it's up to sawyer and kate now. what? she's trying to save him, and i sent james after her to help because they actually care. -i came back here because i care, juliet. i came back here because i was trying to save you. we didn't need saving! we've been fine for three years. you came back here for you. -at least do me the courtesy of telling me why. i came back... because i was supposed to. supposed to do what? i don't know yet. well, you'd better figure it out. -you know, i can take him for a while. sure you can. you know, his father said that you think ben broke sayid out. kid'll do almost anything if he's pissed off enough at his folks. is that why you asked me to take care of your daughter? -did you? of course i did. go ahead and tip his head back. what's she like? clementine? -yeah. clementine. oh, she's beautiful. looks just like you when she smiles. she's growing up fast. -already has a little attitude. i bet you and cassidy had a lot to talk about. she had an interesting theory on why you jumped off the chopper. yeah? what's that? -she thought you were worried about what would happen if you didn't. you and me would've never worked out, kate. i wasn't any more fit to be your boyfriend than i am to be that little girl's father. you seem to be doing all right with juliet. yeah. -i've done a lot of growing up the past three years. hands up! do not move. i said, don't move. this is a violation of the truce. -you're over the line. we know. this kid's been shot. that's both of our problems. so unless you want to go to war, you're gonna take us to richard alpert, and you're gonna do it now. -mrs. littleton, um, i'm kate austen. i know who you are. come in. thank you. your friend dr.shephard came here last night, going on and on about some person named aaron. -when i asked him who that was, he ran out of here like the room was on fire. he's your grandson. let's see what rush says. given how little we know about this ship-- can't we at least try it and abort if something goes wrong? -not according to the people who came up with the idea. well, if only all science was that definitive, colonel. you're just going to have to choose who you want to believe. there's nothing to worry about. it doesn't hurt at all. -do i look worried? a little. just trying to figure out what i'm going to say to my mom. my family thinks i'm on sabbatical in africa. so when it's time to come back, what do i do, click my heels three times? -there's no way for you to disconnect the transmission yourself. the base needs to be manually shut down. there's a device on the other side as well, and turning either off will sever the connection. pretty cool. easiest way to swap consciousness with someone across the universe -i've ever seen. what's with the kino? first time using the stones. very exciting. any chance i could get something else to wear? -wow, check me out. okay, this is weird. the people we're in can't hear us, can they? no. wonder what they're doing with our bodies. -colonel telford. i'll just get right to it. i've been ordered to enact the rescue plan put forward by the ioa. rescue plan? i don't understand. -i've brought doctors mccormack and williams with me. i believe you know them. yes. i've already set them to work. what about colonel young? -effective immediately, i'm assuming command of destiny. you replaced me. for now. without waiting to hear my answer? -you were going to say-- give us more time. then you were going to be disobeying a direct order. sir-- look, i offered you command of the expedition. -you were my first choice, but you turned it down. your exact words, as i recall, were, "i don't think it's still in me, sir." well, i'm there now, sir, whether i like it or not, whether anyone likes it. this is wrong, and you know it. -i've spent most of my career looking up to you, because you always did the right thing even if it meant disregarding the chain of command-- colonel, don't think i like this. they can't do this to us, can they? for now, they have. look, i think it comes down to the fact that they don't trust rush, and the truth is, i can't blame them. -what are we supposed to do? well, they've given you permission to see your families as long as you guys follow the rules. look, i hate to go there, but what happens if they screw up and the ship explodes? most likely, we will die here too. look, apparently, they're just doing some preliminary testing, information-gathering, nothing too crazy. -so, what you're saying is, live it up while we can. colonel telford, i presume. sergeant. he can use the facilities. that's it. -and what if the power flow can't be controlled? well, if there are any dangerous fluctuations, we just shut it down and allow the ship to continue powering up. early tests show it should work. we are not going to be putting you in any more danger than you're already in just being here. from what i gather, supplies are desperately short. -and given the condition of the ship, it could experience a fatal breakdown at any time. no one is trying to alarm you unduly, but we can't continue to scrape by, barely surviving. obviously, we can't say for sure that this is going to get you home, but the best minds that we have are working on this, and i'm sure you'll agree... it's well worth pursuing. dr. rush. -colonel. it is spectacular, isn't it? yes. if this plan has any chance at succeeding-- which it doesn't. -control over most of the ship's operational systems is limited, at best. navigation, propulsion, and many others have been locked out entirely by a master code which we have had no luck in breaking. i thought you might want to know we've come up with a way of draining the power. yes, so i heard. many of the power conduits have been badly damaged, and firing the ship's weapon system without either repairing them or isolating the damaged areas would be prohibitively dangerous. -that's what we're working on right now. just wanted to keep you informed. she's not going to understand. she can barely follow an episode of star trek. you don't have to tell her. -yes? hi. i-- can i help you? my name is... -phillip. phillip fry. i work with your son. you know eli? we've recently become very close. -it doesn't feel real. it's like a... bad dream. you're here. if this is the only way, i can live with that. -i can't stay this way forever, mom. i know. everyone's working very hard to get you home. i'm trying to get through this. i am. -your father always used to say-- one step at a time. i miss him so much. me too. oh, awesome, thanks. -eli drinks four or five of those a day. actually, he quit. really? i find that hard to believe. he's on a bit of a crash diet. -you may not recognize him next time you see him. when will that be, do you know? i'm sorry, i'm not sure. really getting into shape, though. can i get you something to eat? -eli said you make the most amazing chocolate chip cookies. he told you that? oh, yeah. it's crazy how close you get in such a short time. sometimes it's like he's just right up there in my brain. -why don't i make some? you can take them back with you. he also said you make a mean schnitzel, but i don't want to put you out. no, i'm happy to do it. you know, -i thought he'd be calling more often. here, let me help you. tell me... this work you're doing... i know you can't tell me much about it. i can tell you that it's important. -in fact, it could change the world as we know it. really? my eli? not that i'm surprised, don't get me wrong. he's my son. -of course i think he's special, but he was always so bright, so different, but he just, uh... he never seemed to apply himself. some of it was my fault. oh, no... he doesn't blame you at all, for anything. -i'm sorry if this is personal, but he told me you're not well. did he? lucky guess. eggs are in the fridge, right? i didn't think he ever talked to anyone about it. -he asked me to make sure the air force was making good on their promise to help you. to be honest, the whole thing makes me a little anxious. i... i really just want to know eli's okay. he is. -you make sure you tell him i'm proud of him. i will. i'm sorry. i-- it's just, it all happened so suddenly, and i... -i miss him. he misses you too. that's it for me. i'm almost done over here. you're stalling. -i'm doing things the way they need to be done. now, we've isolated power to 40% of the operational weapons system, and it should be good enough to get us a read on our power reduction capability. the next time we drop out of ftl-- look, this ship is old and damaged. the computers aren't registering half the things they're supposed to. -i want manual confirmation before activating any system that comprehensive. over 80% of this ship is inaccessible without spacesuits right now. with only two suits, doing it your way could take months. if that's what it takes. dr. rush, we're ready here. -okay, sending power through. riley... looks like a coolant leak. i thought you got it. yeah, so did i. -there's a problem. power's backing up in the relay. shut it down. i'm trying. it's not working. -the problem is contained. it's restricted to that corridor. that's not the point. how big an explosion are we talking about? i'm going in. -i can seal it. are you crazy? you can't go in there! we're on the hull! rush! -we are in ftl! if it punctures the hull, disrupts the shield at all, even for a microsecond, then the entire ship could be in jeopardy. riley! it's, um... it's going to be touch and go. -we're proceeding with the test next time we drop out of ftl. colonel, the man nearly died. you're the one who put him in jeopardy. i was trying to make sure you didn't kill us all. i'm not going to. -look, i accept responsibility for what happened, but you forced the situation, and activating the weapons system the way you're proposing is completely reckless. come on, rush, these people are in danger just being here, evidenced by what just happened. this ship is falling apart. they're the wrong people for this. we need to get them home. -yeah, well, there's a right way of doing that. we are doing it the right way. that's a matter of opinion. look, i know that we've had our differences in the past. yeah, you wanted me off the expedition team. -i remember. it was my duty to express concern for how everyone else felt about you. so are you suggesting that my judgment is now somehow clouded, or is it that i'm just plain lying? admit it, rush, after everything that's happened, you're afraid they're not going to let you come back. hello? -hey, it's me. how's it going? how'd your mom take it? couldn't do it. i told her i was a co-worker. -i told my friends i'm cousin liz from out west. i may have oversold the job. i said i was going to change everything for mankind as we know it. what the hell, right? might as well make her feel like -i left for a good reason. you did. right. i guess so. so, uh, some of my old friends are taking "cousin liz" out on the town to see janelle monae. -you want to come hang out with us? hell, yes. emily, it's me. emily... hey, no. -emily! emily, please just open the door. just go away! i'm not leaving, emily. i'm not going to leave you. -i will call the police, everett. emily, please, it doesn't end like this, emily! open the door! i just want to talk to you! hey... -just, i need you to just listen to me, okay? because i know this is crazy. i'm barely keeping it together, and the only thing that's keeping me from going out of my mind is you. that's making me crazy too, because i know how much i hurt you, and i know that you hate me for leaving. emily, i really tried-- i didn't want to come here. -i tried not to come here, but i can't- i can't stand it! baby, i'm so sorry. i'm so sorry, and i love you so much. please, just... -i had to try, right? just in case there was a chance. a chance that you could forgive me... you know, maybe you're just afraid thinking that i would die out there, so it's easier for you to push me away now than... have to face me like this. i just want to come home... to you, and that's all i want. -hi. me? what's your name? phil. can i buy you a drink? -i have one. yes, you do. want to dance? sure. oh, my god, this is awesome! -hey, we're going to go dance. you guys want to come? no. so, how long have celina and josh been together? i don't know. -too bad about chloe's dad, huh? yeah. what's she going to do? what do you mean? well, her job. -she was working for him, right? i don't really think that's on her mind right now. sure. well, tell her we're sorry. i will. -you know, it sucks for me, because senator armstrong was hooking me up with his wall street connections, and now that's not going to happen. i think i have to go throw up. hey... hey. so is chloe really okay? -she'll be fine. i wish she'd call me back. i'm sure she misses you. i think she's just having a hard time dealing right now. it's just... -i really need to talk to her, you know? you mean about the fact that you're sleeping with her boyfriend? what? it's pretty obvious you guys are together. look, josh and chloe broke up. -yeah, i don't think she ever would have suspected that you're the real reason why. i don't know who you think-- how could you do this to me? to you? you're supposed to be her best friend! -get your hands off of me. excuse me, colonel? can i have a word? one moment. about sergeant greer-- -colonel telford? scott, it's young. what just happened? we just dropped out of ftl, sir. uh, what's going on? -it must have disrupted communication between the stones. scott, listen to me, we don't have a lot of time. you've got to-- colonel young? colonel young! -what just happened? we just dropped out of ftl. looks like it might have temporarily disrupted the communication device. we have to fix that. sir, i think colonel young wanted me to shut down the stones. -this is no longer his command, is that clear? the device stays on. a glitch? that's one hell of a glitch, general. that's what i'm being told, colonel. -they're working on it. yes, sir. just let me know. they said it was some sort of glitch. apparently. -it won't happen again. how do they know? i don't know. right now, i don't care. did you see that girl i was dancing with? -she wrote her email address on my hand! i hate this. i hate everybody. hey, captain buzzkill. whoa, okay, no more drinks for cousin liz. -you see those two over there? that's my best friend, celina, and my ex-boyfriend. you can do better. do you want to dance? i think i want to go over there and punch him in the face. -hey, hey! i have an idea. how about we get out of here? whoa, whoa, whoa, easy... this is awful. -i'm not even drunk at all. really? because you seem drunk. my head's just all foggy. almost there... -usually it makes me feel better. at least for a little while. it usually makes me dizzy... and then i fall asleep. just once i'd like to go out with a girl and not have it end with her crying. my life was so shallow and pointless, -and then i started working with my dad. i really thought that i could do something, make a difference. you can. these aren't even my tears! i'm sorry. -if it makes you feel better, i had a really great time tonight. i'm glad. do you know the last time a girl that hot told me i was cute? never. -doesn't it bother you that she wasn't really talking about you? well, when you put it like that... uh, i didn't mean that. come on... you're cute. -the real you. what? nothing. go on. you were saying... -and you're funny, too, and you're a genius. oh... and... don't say it. -you're a good friend. yes. that's me. i am a good friend. i don't want to be trapped on that ship, and i don't want to be stuck here like this. -i can't feel anything. can you? well-- you know what's the worst part about having a father like mine? whoa, how did we get onto that? -you can't live up to it. he was so great. i'll never be like he was. my dad definitely would have punched josh in the face! wow. -i think i'm going to take you home. could you take me home? a lot of people are behind this. well, a lot of people play the lottery. what's surprising is they'd do it with their lives. -i know you're opposed. i have serious concerns myself. i'm just wondering how much safer it might be if you were involved. they can't keep me locked up in here forever. you know he will, as long as he can. -what you did... he had it coming to him. look, just shut down the damn stones, man. i'm not you, ron. he's our commanding officer-- colonel young is our commanding officer. -telford's got guards posted 24/7. what am i supposed to do? this better work. what are you doing? i'm making sure we still have enough power to control these consoles when approaching the star. -dr. williams says you've come up with a way of improving the odds of success. well, i don't want to die, colonel. good. hopefully, we've proven that's not our goal. i'm sorry. -i couldn't deal with it, the thought of you being trapped on that ship, with her. emily, what do i have to do? and i shouldn't have brought it up again. i know it's over, but you got to understand... everett? -no... rush, what's happening? we just jumped to ftl. rush? colonel telford? -yes... everything okay? he will be soon enough. all right, this is ridiculous. jumping back and forth without any warning is completely-- ...unacceptable! -seriously. routing power flow to the stargate. ready to attempt dial-in. do it. all right, stand back! -everyone back up! you're going to overload the capacitors. bringing power flow down. the limitations are not holding. because the system wasn't meant to handle this much power. -stay calm! the shield is failing. colonel, we need to abort. shut it down! it's not working. -i thought you said you could stop it! i know! it won't shut down. where the hell are you going? do something. -they're gone. thank you. if i can have everyone's attention, please... i'm sorry to have to tell you that, uh... we will not be going home, not yet, anyway, but you can all relax and return to your quarters. -the ship will not be exploding, at least not today. normal power levels will be restored soon, right? yes. thank you. -you staged the whole thing. so all of this was just to get rid of telford? had to be done. so you're saying that the ship was never going to explode? oh, no, we would most definitely all be dead had i not put certain limits in place. -i also arranged for the alarms and warnings to go off regardless. bit of theater, always nice. their plan was never going to work. you could have warned us. you scared the crap out of everybody. -well, i didn't know who was on my side, did i? colonel telford removed not only any sense of command, but the two scientists that designed and implemented the program that was causing the crisis. the situation appeared to be irreversible. fortunately, dr. rush was able to avoid catastrophic disaster. yes, and we'd like to see how he did that, along with the rest of the data collected during the experiment. -those were people's lives you were experimenting with. we were trying to get them home. you cut and ran. there was no point in three more lives being lost if it could be avoided. colonel telford was following orders. -sir... after much consideration, we have decided to stay in communication with earth. i hope personal visits for everyone on board will still be permitted. that depends, colonel. consider it done. -thank you, sir. i'm afraid the time that i've allotted for this briefing is now up. general... we are going to have to be tough. disciplined. -the road may be longer than many of us hoped. we will have to sacrifice, compromise, work together without exceptions. i thought you did a good job. people need to know the truth, but they also need hope. i need you to do something for me. -sure thing. go over the data collected as they tried to dial the gate. i have already. there's a lot i don't understand-- -well then, you need to learn, as fast as you can, and you talk to whoever you have to. you think rush is hiding something? well, that's what i want you to tell me. we are going to survive. we are going to make it home. -make no mistake, my first priority is to make sure that we all return to those we love. destiny... the design is clearly ancient, launched hundreds of thousands of years ago. where the hell are we? several billion light years from home. we're on a ship, but we have no idea where we are in relation to earth. -this ship could be the most important discovery mankind has made since the stargate itself. we've got a lot of wounded. we need to get home. we barely have enough power to operate the main systems. this ship simply doesn't have the capability to dial earth. -in this case are five ancient communication stones. you physically take control of an individual at the other end... where are you? it's top secret. wait, did you get the letter from... -yeah, the air force, i got it. you sound like you're in airplane. it's the kind of thing i always dreamed of. dad, no, wait! the ship is old and damaged. -we were losing air, and somebody had to... he's dead, isn't he? i didn't choose my job over you. it wasn't just about the job. i want nothing more than to get back here to be with you. -you made your choice, everett. you are so beautiful. don't. i'm sorry. i never meant to hurt you. -colonel... sorry, sir, they're waiting. sorry. we're late. you're late. -it's my fault. thanks for joining us, colonel. sorry, sir, i wasn't expecting a party. we may have figured out a way to get you home. surprise. -now, the power flow issues are obviously the biggest variable, but our simulations are encouraging. it's time to take it to the next level. any questions? sounds dangerous. the loa fully supports the implementation of this plan. -i've seen it for myself, the situation on board is dire and justifies the risk. look, i'm not going to pretend to understand everything you guys are talking about, but it sounds like there's a chance that this plan could end badly. you want to get those people home. so do we. -i'm just saying maybe these guys could do a little more calculating. the fact is, we are at the stage where a practical attempt is the only way to get any more hard data. the goal is to save lives. and we don't want to put the ship at risk. all we're asking is that you try. -well, this is something i would have to take up with everyone on board. colonel... my office? look, if it makes you feel any better, colonel carter saved my ass dozens of times using all kinds of wacky science i didn't understand. -well, i can't force people to do something they don't want to do. you're in command of that ship. it's not a democracy. i'm sorry, sir, it's just, it's not that simple. yes. -yes, it is. a united states senator is dead. his daughter and dozens of other people are trapped a billion light years away from home. the president wants it done. sir, with all due respect... -you are being given a direct order, colonel... and i'm telling you that regardless of the consequences to my standing, i'm going to take the situation under advisement. i will let you know my decision tomorrow. are you sure you don't want anything? oh, i'm fine. -thank you. must be nice to get out, i imagine. it is. everyone's very impressed with how you're holding up, under the circumstances. i'm doing my best. -you're our eyes and ears now. your life, certainly the lives of everyone aboard, is the first priority, but you have to understand, there's a lot at stake here. you passed me up for promotion four times. i never really got a straight answer as to why. you are a highly trusted, well-respected member of this organization. -you would not have been on icarus in the first place if you weren't. the point is, i know there's no way in hell you'd be talking to me right now if you had a choice. so, please, can we just cut to the chase? make this happen. -i'm not a scientist. how can i do that? you have influence. the people on board need to believe it'll get them home. even if, in reality, it can get us all killed. -not what i've been told... why are you pushing so hard? if this works, we think we might be able to use the data to re-engineer the process in one of our ships here in this galaxy. dial a gate to destiny without an icarus-type planet. yes, and get the team that was supposed to go in the first place back on board. -now that we know where the ninth chevron leads, this mission has taken on even more importance. why isn't rush here? ah... we're not convinced rush wants to come home. and do i have to remind you how much you have to gain, personally, in all of this? -assuming i live. the ship doesn't have enough power to dial back to earth, and as we've seen recently, when the ship runs out of juice, it finds a star and refills its tanks. now, theoretically, at that time, the full power of the star should be available to us. star power. ultimate wattage, baby. -yeah, it's... it's brilliant. if we can somehow use the ship as a conduit and channel the star's energy into the gate as we dial... that would do it. problem is the whole "ship as a conduit" part. well, does anyone know when the ship will run out of power again? it's tough to tell. -based on current usage, probably going to be several months. not if we can drain the power faster. right, that's part of the plan that sounded a little vague. it's possible. so you guys are saying you're all for this? -let's see what rush says. given how little we know about this ship... can't we at least try it and abort if something goes wrong? well, unfortunately, the "something goes wrong" part would most likely mean the ship exploding. not according to the people who came up with the idea. -well, if only all science was that definitive, colonel. you're just going to have to choose who you want to believe. there's nothing to worry about. it doesn't hurt at all. do i look worried? -a little. just trying to figure out what i'm going to say to my mom. my family thinks i'm on sabbatical in africa. so when it's time to come back, what do i do, click my heels three times? there's no way for you to disconnect -the transmission yourself. the base needs to be manually shut down. there's a device on the other side as well, and turning either off will sever the connection. pretty cool. easiest way to swap consciousness with someone across the universe -i've ever seen. what's with the kino? first time using the stones. very exciting. any chance i could get something else to wear? -wow, check me out. okay, this is weird. the people we're in can't hear us, can they? no. wonder what they're doing with our bodies. -colonel telford. i'll just get right to it. i've been ordered to enact the rescue plan put forward by the ioa. rescue plan? i don't understand. -i've brought doctors mccormack and williams with me. i believe you know them. yes. i've already set them to work. what about colonel young? -effective immediately, i'm asuming command of the destiny. you replaced me. for now. without waiting to hear my answer? -you were going to say... give us more time. then you were going to be disobeying a direct order. sir... look, i offered you command of the expedition. -you were my first choice, but you turned it down. your exact words, as i recall, were, "i don't think it's still in me, sir." well, i'm there now, sir, whether i like it or not, whether anyone likes it. this is wrong, and you know it. -i've spent most of my career looking up to you, because you always did the right thing even if it meant disregarding the chain of command... colonel, don't think i like this. they can't do this to us, can they? for now, they have. look, i think it comes down to the fact that they don't trust rush, and the truth is, i can't blame them. -what are we supposed to do? well, they've given you permission to see your families as long as you guys follow the rules. look, i hate to go there, but what happens if they screw up and the ship explodes? most likely, we will die here too. look, apparently, they're just doing some preliminary testing, information-gathering, nothing too crazy. -so, what you're saying is, live it up while we can. colonel telford, i presume. sergeant. he can use the facilities. that's it. -and what if the power flow can't be controlled? well, if there are any dangerous fluctuations, we just shut it down and allow the ship to continue powering up. early tests show it should work. we are not going to be putting you in any more danger than you're already in just being here. from what i gather, supplies are desperately short. -and given the condition of the ship, it could experience a fatal breakdown at any time. no one is trying to alarm you unduly, but we can't continue to scrape by, barely surviving. obviously, we can't say for sure that this is going to get you home, but the best minds that we have are working on this, and i'm sure you'll agree... it's well worth pursuing. dr. rush. colonel. -it is spectacular, isn't it? yes. if this plan has any chance at succeeding... which it doesn't. control over most of the ship's operational systems is limited, at best. navigation, propulsion, and many others have been locked out entirely by a master code which we have had no luck in breaking. -i thought you might want to know we've come up with a way of draining the power. yes, so i heard. many of the power conduits have been badly damaged, and firing the ship's weapon system without either repairing them or isolating the damaged areas would be prohibitively dangerous. that's what we're working on right now. just wanted to keep you informed. -she's not going to understand. she can barely follow an episode of star trek. you don't have to tell her. yes? hi. -i... can i help you? my name is... phillip. phillip fry. -i work with your son. you know eli? we've recently become very close. it doesn't feel real. it's like a... bad dream. -you're here. if this is the only way, i can live with that. i can't stay this way forever, mom. i know. -everyone's working very hard to get you home. i'm trying to get through this. i am. your father always used to say... one step at a time. i miss him so much. -me too. oh, awesome, thanks. eli drinks four or five of those a day. actually, he quit. really? -i find that hard to believe. he's on a bit of a crash diet. you may not recognize him next time you see him. when will that be, do you know? i'm sorry, i'm not sure. -really getting into shape, though. can i get you something to eat? eli said you make the most amazing chocolate chip cookies. he told you that? oh, yeah. -it's crazy how close you get in such a short time. sometimes it's like he's just right up there in my brain. why don't i make some? you can take them back with you. he also said you make a mean schnitzel, but i don't want to put you out. -no, i'm happy to do it. you know, i thought he'd be calling more often. here, let me help you. tell me... this work you're doing... -i know you can't tell me much about it. i can tell you that it's important. in fact, it could change the world as we know it. really? my eli? -not that i'm surprised, don't get me wrong. he's my son. of course i think he's special, but he was always so bright, so different, but he just, uh... he never seemed to apply himself. some of it was my fault. oh, no... he doesn't blame you at all, for anything. -i'm sorry if this is personal, but he told me you're not well. did he? lucky guess. eggs are in the fridge, right? i didn't think he ever talked to anyone about it. -he asked me to make sure the air force was making good on their promise to help you. to be honest, the whole thing makes me a little anxious. i... i really just want to know eli's okay. he is. -you make sure you tell him i'm proud of him. i will. i'm sorry. it's just, it all happened so suddenly, and i... i miss him. -he misses you too. that's it for me. i'm almost done over here. you're stalling. i'm doing things the way they need to be done. -now, we've isolated power to 40% of the operational weapons system, and it should be good enough to get us a read on our power reduction capability. the next time we drop out of ftl... look, this ship is old and damaged. the computers aren't registering half the things they're supposed to. -i want manual confirmation before activating any system that comprehensive. over 80% of this ship is inaccessible without spacesuits right now. with only two suits, doing it your way could take months. if that's what it takes. dr. rush, we're ready here. -okay, sending power through. riley... looks like a coolant leak. i thought you got it. yeah, so did i. there's a problem. -power's backing up in the relay. shut it down. i'm trying. it's not working. the problem is contained. -it's restricted to that corridor. that's not the point. how big an explosion are we talking about? i'm going in. i can seal it. -are you crazy? you can't go in there! we're on the hull! rush! we are in ftl! -if it punctures the hull, disrupts the shield at all, even for a microsecond, then the entire ship could be in jeopardy. riley! it's, um... it's going to be touch and go. we're proceeding with the test next time we drop out of ftl. colonel, the man nearly died. -you're the one who put him in jeopardy. i was trying to make sure you didn't kill us all. i'm not going to. look, i accept responsibility for what happened, but you forced the situation, and activating the weapons system the way you're proposing is completely reckless. come on, rush, these people are in danger just being here, evidenced by what just happened. -this ship is falling apart. they're the wrong people for this. we need to get them home. yeah, well, there's a right way of doing that. we are doing it the right way. -that's a matter of opinion. look, i know that we've had our differences in the past. yeah, you wanted me off the expedition team. i remember. -it was my duty to express concern for how everyone else felt about you. so are you suggesting that my judgment is now somehow clouded, or is it that i'm just plain lying? admit it, rush, after everything that's happened, you're afraid they're not going to let you come back. hello? hey, it's me. -how's it going? okay. how'd your mom take it? couldn't do it. i told her i was a co-worker. -i told my friends i'm cousin liz from out west. i may have oversold the job. i said i was going to change everything for mankind as we know it. what the hell, right? might as well make her feel like -i left for a good reason. you did. right. i guess so. so, uh, some of my old friends are taking "cousin liz" out on the town to see janelle monae. -you want to come hang out with us? hell, yes. emily... hey, no. emily! -emily, please just open the door. go away! i'm not leaving, emily. i'm not going to leave you. i will call the police, eeerett. -emily, please, it doesn't end like this, emily! open the door! i just want to talk to you! hey... just, i need you to just listen to me, okay? -because i know this is crazy. i'm barely keeping it together, and the only thing that's keeping me from going out of my mind is you. that's making me crazy too, because i know how much i hurt you, and i know that you hate me for leaving. emily, i really tried... -i didn't want to come here. i tried not to come here, but i... i can't stand it! baby, i'm so sorry. i'm so sorry, and i love you so much. -please, just... i had to try, right? just in case there was a chance. a chance, a chance that you could forgive me... you know, maybe you're just afraid thinking that i would die out there, so it's easier for you to push me away now than... have to face me like this. i just want to come home... -to you, and that's all i want. hi. me? what's your name? phil. -can i buy you a drink? i have one. yes, you do. want to dance? sure. -oh, my god, this is awesome! hey, we're going to go dance. you guys want to come? no. so, how long have celina and josh been together? -i don't know. too bad about chloe's dad, huh? yeah. what's she going to do? what do you mean? -well, her job. she was working for him, right? i don't really think that's on her mind right now. sure. well, tell her we're sorry. -i will. you know, it sucks for me, because senator armstrong was hooking me up with his wall street connections, and now that's not going to happen. i think i have to go throw up. hey... hey. -so is chloe really okay? she'll be fine. i wish she'd call me back. i'm sure she misses you. i think she's just having a hard time dealing right now. -it's just... i really need to talk to her, you know? you mean about the fact that you're sleeping with her boyfriend? what? it's pretty obvious you guys are together. -look, josh and chloe broke up. yeah, i don't think she ever would have suspected that you're the real reason why. i don't know who you think... how could you do this to me? to you? -you're supposed to be her best friend! get your hands off of me. excuse me, colonel? can i have a word? one moment. -about sergeant greer... colonel telford? oh, baby... scott, it's young. what just happened? -we just dropped out of ftl, sir. uh, what's going on? it must have disrupted communication between the stones. scott, listen to me, we don't have a lot of time. you've got to... -colonel young? colonel young! oh, baby... what just happened? we just dropped out of ftl. -looks like it might have temporarily disrupted the communication device. we have to fix that. sir, i think colonel young wanted me to shut down the stones. this is no longer his command, is that clear? the device stays on. -a glitch? that's one hell of a glitch, general. that's what i'm being told, colonel. they're working on it. yes, sir. -just let me know. they said it was some sort of glitch. apparently. it won't happen again. how do they know? -i don't know. right now, i don't care. did you see that girl i was dancing with? she wrote her email address on my hand! i hate this. -i hate everybody. hey, captain buzzkill. whoa, okay, no more drinks for cousin liz. you see those two over there? that's my best friend, celina, and my ex-boyfriend. -you can do better. do you want to dance? i think i want to go over there and punch him in the face. hey, hey! i have an idea. -how about we get out of here? whoa, whoa, whoa, easy... this is awful. i'm not even drunk at all. really? -because you seem drunk. my head's just all foggy. almost there... usually it makes me feel better. at least for a little while. it usually makes me dizzy... and then i fall asleep. -just once i'd like to go out with a girl and not have it end with her crying. my life was so shallow and pointless, and then i started working with my dad. i really thought that i could do something, make a difference. you can. these aren't even my tears! -i'm sorry. if it makes you feel better, i had a really great time tonight. i'm glad. do you know the last time a girl that hot told me i was cute? -never. doesn't it bother you that she wasn't really talking about you? well, when you put it like that... uh, i didn't mean that. come on... -you're cute. the real you. what? nothing. go on. -you were saying... and you're funny, too, and you're a genius. oh... and... don't say it. you're a good friend. -yes. that's me. i am a good friend. i don't want to be trapped on that ship, and i don't want to be stuck here like this. i can't feel anything. -can you? well... you know what's the worst part about having a father like mine? whoa, how did we get onto that? you can't live up to it. -he was so great. i'll never be like he was. my dad definitely would have punched josh in the face! wow. i think i'm going to take you home. -could you take me home? a lot of people are behind this. well, a lot of people play the lottery. what's surprising is they'd do it with their lives. i know you're opposed. -i have serious concerns myself. i'm just wondering how much safer it might be if you were involved. they can't keep me locked up in here forever. you know he will, as long as he can. what you did... he had it coming to him. -look, just shut down the damn stones, man. i'm not you, ron. he's our commanding officer... colonel young is our commanding officer. telford's got guards posted 24-7. -what am i supposed to do? this better work. what are you doing? i'm making sure we still have enough power to control these consoles when approaching the star. dr. williams says you've come up with a way -of improving the odds of success. well, i don't want to die, colonel. good. hopefully, we've proven that's not our goal. i'm sorry. -i couldn't deal with it, the thought of you being trapped on that ship, with her. emily, what do i have to do? and i shouldn't have brought it up again. i know it's over, but you got to understand... everett? -no... rush, what's happening? we just jumped to ftl. rush? colonel telford? -yes... everything okay? he will be soon enough all right, this is ridiculous. jumping back and forth without any warning is completely... unacceptable! -seriously. routing power flow to the stargate. ready to attempt dial-in. do it. all right, stand back! -everyone back up! you're going to overload the capacitors. bringing power flow down. the limitations are not holding. because the system wasn't meant to handle this much power. -stay calm! the shield is failing. colonel, we need to abort. shut it down! it's not working. -i thought you said you could stop it! i know! it won't shut down. where the hell are you going? do something. -they're gone. thank you. if i can have everyone's attention, please... i'm sorry to have to tell you that, uh... we will not be going home, not yet, anyway, but you can all relax and return to your quarters. -the ship will not be exploding, at least not today. normal power levels will be restored soon, right? yes. thank you. you staged the whole thing. -so all of this was just to get rid of telford? had to be done. so you're saying that the ship was never going to explode? oh, no, we would most definitely all be dead had i not put certain limits in place. i also arranged for the alarms and warnings to go off regardless. -bit of theater, always nice. their plan was never going to work. you could have warned us. you scared the crap out of everybody. well, i didn't know who was on my side, did i? -colonel telford removed not only any sense of command, but the two scientists that designed and implemented the program that was causing the crisis. the situation appeared to be irreversible. fortunately, dr. rush was able to avoid catastrophic disaster. yes, and we'd like to see how he did that, along with the rest of the data collected during the experiment. those were people's lives you were experimenting with. -we were trying to get them home. you cut and ran. there was no point in three more lives being lost if it could be avoided. colonel telford was following orders. sir... after much consideration, we have decided to stay in communication with earth. -i hope personal visits for everyone on board will still be permitted. that depends, colonel. consider it done. thank you, sir. i'm afraid the time that i've allotted for this briefing is now up. -general... we are going to have to be tough. disciplined. the road may be longer than many of us hoped. we will have to sacrifice, compromise, work together without exceptions. -i thought you did a good job. people need to know the truth, but they also need hope. i need you to do something for me. sure thing. go over the data collected as they tried to dial the gate. -i have already. there's a lot i don't understand... well then, you need to learn, as fast as you can, and you talk to whoever you have to. you think rush is hiding something? well, that's what i want you to tell me. -we are going to survive. we are going to make it home. make no mistake, my first priority is to make sure that we all return to those we love. rush: destiny. -the design is clearly ancient. launched hundreds of thousands of years ago. scott: where the hell are we? several billion light years from home. -we are on a ship, but we have no idea where we are in relation to earth. rush: this ship could be the most important discovery mankind has made since the stargate itself. young: these are the wrong people in the wrong place. -scott: i've got a iot of wounded. we need to get home. rush: we barely ha ve enough power to operate the main systems. -this ship simply doesn't have the capability to dial earth. in this case are five ancient communication stones. rush: you physically take control of an individual at the other end. where are you? -eli: it's top secret. but did you get the letter from... yeah, the air force, i got it. you sound like you're in an airplane. -it's the kind of thing i always dreamed of. dad! no, wait! chloe: the ship is old and damaged. -we were losing air and somebody had to... he's dead, isn't he? i didn't choose my job over you. it wasn't just about the job. i want nothing more than to get back here to be with you. -you made your choice, everett. you are so beautiful. don't. i'm sorry. i never meant to hurt you. -scott: colonel... sorry, sir. they're waiting. young: -sorry. we're late. telford: you're late. it's my fault. -thanks for joining us, colonel. sorry, sir, i wasn't expecting a party. we may have figured out a way to get you home. surprise. williams: -now, the power flow issues are obviously the biggest variable, but our simulations are encouraging. it's time to take it to the next level. any questions? it sounds dangerous. the loa fully supports the implementation of this plan. -i've seen it for myself. the situation on board is dire and justifies the risk. look, i'm not going to pretend to understand everything you guys are talking about, but it sounds like there's a chance that this plan could end badly. you want to get those people home. so do we. -i'm just saying maybe these guys could do a little more calculating. the fact is, we are at the stage where a practical attempt is the only way to get any more hard data. the goal is to save lives. and we don't want to put the ship at risk. all we're asking is that you try. -well, this is something i would have to take up with everyone on board. colonel, my office. look, if it makes you feel any better, colonel carter saved my ass dozens of times, using all kinds of wacky science i didn't understand. well, i can't force people to do something they don't want to do. -you're in command of that ship. it's not a democracy. i'm sorry, sir, it's just... it's not that simple. yes. -yes, it is. a united states senator is dead. his daughter and dozens of other people are trapped a billion light years away from home. the president wants it done. sir, with all due respect... -you are being given a direct order, colonel. and i'm telling you that, regardless of the consequences to my standing, i'm going to take the situation under advisement. i will let you know my decision tomorrow. are you sure you don't want anything? i'm fine. -thank you. must be nice to get out, i imagine. it is. everyone's very impressed with how you're holding up under the circumstances. i'm doing my best. -you're our eyes and ears now. your life, certainly the lives of everyone aboard, is the first priority. but you have to understand, there's a lot at stake here. you passed me up for promotion four times. i never really got a straight answer as to why. -you are a highly trusted, well-respected member of this organization. you would not have been on icarus in the first place if you weren't. the point is, i know there's no way in hell you'd be talking to me right now if you had a choice. so, please, can we just cut to the chase? -make this happen. i'm not a scientist. how can i do that? you have influence. the people onboard need to believe it'll get them home. -even if, in reality, it can get us all killed. not what i've been told. why are you pushing so hard? if this works, we think we might be able to use the data to re-engineer the process in one of our ships here, in this galaxy. dial a gate to destiny without an icarus-type planet. -yes, and get the team that was supposed to go in the first place back onboard. now that we know where the ninth chevron leads, this mission has taken on even more importance. why isn't rush here? ah. we're not convinced rush wants to come home. -and do i have to remind you how much you have to gain personally in all of this? assuming i live. the ship doesn't have enough power to dial back to earth, and as we've seen recently, when the ship runs out of juice, it finds a star and refills its tanks. now, theoretically, at that time, the full power of the star should be available to us. star power. -ultimate wattage, baby. yeah, it's brilliant. if we can somehow use the ship as a conduit and channel the star's energy into the gate as we dial... that would do it? the problem is the whole ship is a conduit part. -well, does anyone know when the ship will run out of power again? it's tough to tell. based on current usage, probably going to be several months. not if we can drain the power faster. right, that's part of the plan that sounded a little vague. -it's possible. so, you guys are saying you're all for this? let's see what rush says. given how little we know about this ship... can't we at least try it, and abort if something goes wrong? -(sighs) well, unfortunately, the "something goes wrong" part would most likely mean the ship exploding. not according to the people who came up with the idea. well, if only all science was that definitive, colonel. you're just going to have to choose who you want to believe. nothing to worry about. -it doesn't hurt at all. do i look worried? a little. just trying to figure out what i'm going to say to my mom. my family thinks i'm on sabbatical in africa. -so, when it's time to come back, what do i do, click my heels three times? rlley: there's no way for you to disconnect the transmission yourself. the base needs to be manually shut down. there's a device on the other side as well, and turning either off will sever the connection. -pretty cool. rlley: easiest way to swap consciousness with someone across the universe i've ever seen. what's with the kino? first time using the stones. -very exciting. any chance i could get something else to wear? wow, check me out. okay, this is weird. the people we're in can't hear us, can they? -no. wonder what they're doing with our bodies. (chuckles) (whlrrlng) colonel telford. -i'll just get right to it. i've been ordered to enact the rescue plan put forward by the loa. rescue plan? i don't understand. i've brought doctors mccormack and williams with me. -i believe you know them. yes. i've already set them to work. what about colonel young? effective immediately, i'm assuming command of the destiny. -young: you replaced me. o'nelll: for now. without waiting to hear my answer? -you were going to say... give us more time. then you were going to be disobeying a direct order. sir... look, -i offered you command of the expedition. you were my first choice, but you turned it down. your exact words, as i recall, were, "l don't think it's still in me, sir." well, i'm there now, sir, whether i like it or not, whether anyone likes it. this is wrong, and you know it. -i've spent most of my career looking up to you, because you always did the right thing, even if it meant disregarding the chain of command. colonel, don't think i like this. they can't do this to us, can they? young: for now, they have. -look, i think it comes down to the fact that they don't trust rush, and the truth is, i can't blame them. what are we supposed to do? well, they've given you permission to see your families as long as you guys follow the rules. look, i hate to go there, but what happens if they screw up and the ship explodes? most likely, we will die here, too. -look, apparently they're just doing some preliminary testing, information gathering, nothing too crazy. so, what you're saying is, live it up while we can. colonel telford, i presume. sergeant. he can use the facilities. -that's it. and what if the power flow can't be controlled? well, if there are any dangerous fluctuations, we just shut it down and allow the ship to continue powering up. early tests show it should work. we are not going to be putting you in any more danger than you're already in just being here. -mccormack: from what i gather, supplies are desperately short. and given the condition of the ship, it could experience a fatal breakdown at any time. no one is trying to alarm you unduly, but we can't continue to scrape by, barely surviving. obviously, we can't say for sure that this is going to get you home, but the best minds that we have are working on this, and i'm sure you'll agree it's well worth pursuing. -(lndlstlnct murmurlng) dr. rush. colonel. it is spectacular, isn't it? yes. -if this plan has any chance at succeeding... which it doesn't. control over most of the ship's operational systems is limited, at best. navigation, propulsion, and many others have been locked out entirely by a master code, which we have had no luck in breaking. i thought you might want to know we've come up with a way of draining the power. -yes, so i heard. many of the power conduits have been badly damaged, and firing the ship's weapons system without either repairing them or isolating the damaged areas would be prohibitively dangerous. that's what we're working on right now. just wanted to keep you informed. she's not going to understand. -she can barely follow an episode of star trek. you don't have to tell her. yes? hi. i... -can i help you? my name is phillip. phillip fry. i work with your son. you know eli? -we've recently become very close. (knocking on door) it doesn't feel real. it's like a bad dream. you're here. -if this is the only way, i can live with that. i can't stay this way forever, mom. i know. everyone's working very hard to get you home. i'm trying to get through this. -i am. your father always used to say... one step at a time. i miss him so much. me, too. -awesome, thanks. eli drinks four or five of those a day. actually, he quit. really? i find that hard to believe. -he's on a bit of a crash diet. you may not recognize him next time you see him. when will that be? do you know? i'm sorry, i'm not sure. -really getting into shape, though. can i get you something to eat? eli said you make the most amazing chocolate chip cookies. he told you that? oh, yeah. -it's crazy how close you get in such a short time. sometimes it's like he's just right up there, in my brain. why don't i make some? you can take them back with you. he also said you make a mean schnitzel, but i don't want to put you out. -no, i'm happy to do it. you know, i thought he'd be calling more often. here, let me help you. tell me, this work you're doing... i know you can't tell me much about it. -i can tell you that it's important. in fact, it could change the world as we know it. really? my eli? not that i'm surprised, don't get me wrong. -he's my son. of course i think he's special. he was always so bright, so different, but he just... he never seemed to apply himself. some of it was my fault. -no. he doesn't blame you at all, for anything. i'm sorry if this is personal, but he told me you're not well. did he? (chuckles) -lucky guess. eggs are in the fridge, right? i didn't think he ever talked to anyone about it. he asked me to make sure the air force was making good on their promise to help you. to be honest, the whole thing makes me a little anxious. -i really just want to know eli's okay. he is. you make sure you tell him i'm proud of him. i will. i'm sorry. -it's just... it all happened so suddenly, and i miss him. he misses you, too. rlley: that's it for me. -brody: i'm almost done over here. you're stalling. i'm doing things the way they need to be done. now, we've isolated power to 40% of the operational weapons system, and it should be good enough to get us a read on our power reduction capability. -the next time we drop out of ftl... look, look, this ship is old and damaged. the computers aren't registering half the things they're supposed to. i want manual confirmation before activating any system that comprehensive. over 80% of this ship is inaccessible without spacesuits right now. -with only two suits, doing it your way could take months. if that's what it takes. dr. rush, we're ready here. rush: -okay, sending power through. (hlsslng) (alarm blaring) riley? rush: -looks like a coolant leak. brody: i thought you got it. yeah, so did i. there's a problem. -power's backing up in the relay. shut it down. i'm trying. it's not working. the problem is contained. -it's restricted to that corridor. that's not the point. how big an explosion are we talking about? rlley: i'm going in. -i can seal it. are you crazy? you can't go in there! we're on the hull! rush! -we are in ftl! if it punctures the hull, disrupts the shield at all, even for a microsecond, then the entire ship could be in jeopardy. (whlrrlng) riley! (footsteps approaching) -it's... it's going to be touch and go. we're proceeding with the test next time we drop out of ftl. colonel, the man nearly died. you're the one who put him in jeopardy. -i was trying to make sure you didn't kill us all. i'm not going to. look, i accept responsibility for what happened, but you forced the situation, and activating the weapons system the way you're proposing is completely reckless. come on, rush, these people are in danger just being here, evidenced by what just happened. this ship is falling apart. -they're the wrong people for this. we need to get them home. yeah, well, there's a right way of doing that. we are doing it the right way. that's a matter of opinion. -look, i know that we've had our differences in the past. yeah, you wanted me off the expedition team. i remember. it was my duty to express concern for how everyone else felt about you. so are you suggesting that my judgment is now somehow clouded, or is it that i'm just plain lying? -admit it, rush, after everything that's happened, you're afraid they're not going to let you come back. (cell phone ringing) hello? chloe: hey, it's me. -how's it going? okay. how'd your mom take it? couldn't do it. i told her i was a co-worker. -i told my friends i'm cousin liz from out west. (chuckling) i may have oversold the job. i said i was going to change everything for mankind as we know it. what the hell, right? -might as well make her feel like i ieft for a good reason. you did. right. i guess so. so, some of my old friends are taking cousin liz out on the town to see janelle monáe. -you want to come hang out with us? hell yes. (knocking on door) emily, it's me. emily. -hey, no. emily! emily, please just open the door. go away! i'm not leaving, emily. -i'm not going to leave you. i will call the police, everett. emily, please. it doesn't end like this, emily! open the door! -i just want to talk to you! hey, just... i need you to just listen to me, okay? because i know this is crazy. i'm barely keeping it together, and the only thing that's keeping me from going out of my mind is you. -that's making me crazy, too, because i know how much i hurt you and i know that you hate me for leaving. emily, i really tried. i didn't want to come here. i tried not to come here, but i can't stand it! baby, i'm so sorry. -i'm so sorry, and i love you so much. please, just... i had to try, all right? just in case there was a chance. a chance that you could forgive me. -(sighs) maybe you're just afraid, thinking that i would die out there, so it's easier for you to just push me away now than have to face me like this. i just want to come home to you, and that's all i want. (snlffllng) (upbeat music playing) -(singing) we're dancing free but we're stuck here underground and everybody trying to figure they way out hey, hey, hey, all we ever wanted to say hi. me? -what's your name? phil. can i buy you a drink? i have one. yes, you do. -want to dance? sure. oh, my god, this is awesome! oh, make it rain, ain 't a thang and the sky to fall the silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up -and when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out revolutionize your lives and find a way out and when you're growing down instead of growing up you gotta ooh, ah, iike a panther tell me, are you bold enough to reach for love? -hey, we're going to go dance. you guys want to come? no. so, how long have celina and josh been together? i don't know. -too bad about chloe's dad, huh? yeah. what's she going to do? what do you mean? well, her job. -she was working for him, right? i don't really think that's on her mind right now. sure. well, tell her we're sorry. i will. -you know, it sucks for me, because senator armstrong was hooking me up with his wall street connections, and now that's not going to happen. i think i have to go throw up. (crowd cheering) hey. hey. -so, is chloe really okay? she'll be fine. i wish she'd call me back. i'm sure she misses you. i think she's just having a hard time dealing right now. -it's just... i really need to talk to her. you know? you mean about the fact that you're sleeping with her boyfriend? what? -it's pretty obvious you guys are together. look, josh and chloe broke up. yeah, i don't think she ever would have suspected that you're the real reason why. i don't know who you... how could you do this to me? -to you? you're supposed to be her best friend! get your hands off of me. (heavy breathing) excuse me, colonel? -can i have a word? one moment. about sergeant greer... colonel telford? emily: -oh, baby... (moanlng) scott, it's young. what just happened? we just dropped out of ftl, sir. what's going on? -it must have disrupted communication between the stones. scott, listen to me, we don't have a lot of time. you've got to... colonel young? colonel young! -oh, baby... (moanlng) what just happened? we just dropped out of ftl. looks like it might have temporarily disrupted the communication device. we have to fix that. -sir, i think colonel young wanted me to shut down the stones. this is no longer his command, is that clear? the device stays on. a glitch? that's one hell of a glitch, general. -that's what i'm being told, colonel. they're working on it. yes, sir. just let me know. they said it was some sort of glitch. -apparently. it won't happen again. how do they know? i don't know. right now, i don't care. -did you see that girl i was dancing with? she wrote her e-mail address on my hand. i hate this. i hate everybody. hey, captain buzzkill. -whoa! okay, no more drinks for cousin liz. you see those two over there? that's my best friend, celina, and my ex-boyfriend. you can do better. -do you want to dance? i think i want to go over there and punch him in the face. hey, hey! i have an idea. how about we get out of here? -whoa, whoa, whoa! easy. this is awful. i'm not even drunk at all. really? -because you seem drunk. my head's just all foggy. almost there. usually it makes me feel better, at least for a little while. it usually makes me dizzy, and then i fall asleep. -it usually makes me dizzy, and then i fall asleep. (chloe crying) just once i'd like to go out with a girl and not have it end with her crying. my life was so shallow and pointless, and then i started working with my dad. i really thought that i could do something, make a difference. -you can. these aren't even my tears! i'm sorry. if it makes you feel better, i had a really great time tonight. i'm glad. -do you know the last time a girl that hot told me i was cute? never. doesn't it bother you that she wasn't really talking about you? well, when you put it like that... oh. -i didn't mean that. come on. you're cute. the real you. what? -nothing. go on. you were saying... and you're funny, too. and you're a genius. -and... don't say it. ...you're a good friend. yes. that's me. -i am a good friend. i don't want to be trapped on that ship, and i don't want to be stuck here like this. i can't feel anything. can you? well... -you know what's the worst part about having a father like mine? whoa, how did we get onto that? you can't live up to it. he was so great. i'll never be like he was. -my dad definitely would have punched josh in the face! wow. i think i'm going to take you home. could you take me home? a lot of people are behind this. -well, a lot of people play the lottery. what's surprising is they'd do it with their lives. i know you're opposed. i have serious concerns myself. i'm just wondering how much safer it might be if you were involved. -(explodlng) they can't keep me locked up in here forever. you know he will, as long as he can. what you did... he had it coming to him. -(chuckles) look, just shut down the damn stones, man. i'm not you, ron. he's our commanding officer. colonel young -is our commanding officer. telford's got guards posted 24/7. what am i supposed to do? this better work. (weapons firing) -what are you doing? i'm making sure we still have enough power to control these consoles when approaching the star. dr. williams says you've come up with a way of improving the odds of success. well, i don't want to die, colonel. good. -hopefully, we've proven that's not our goal. i'm sorry. i couldn't deal with it, the thought of you being trapped on that ship, with her. emily, what do i have to do? and i shouldn't have brought it up again. -i know it's over, but you got to understand... everett? no... rush, what's happening? we just jumped to ftl. -rush? colonel telford? yes. everything okay? it will be soon enough. -all right, this is ridiculous. jumping back and forth without any warning is completely unacceptable! seriously. (lndlstlnct chatterlng) (whlrrlng) -routing power flow to the stargate. ready to attempt dial in. do it. (electricity crackling) scott: -all right, stand back! everyone, back up! (all panicking) brody: you're going to overload the capacitors. -bringing power flow down. (people shouting in panic) brody: the limitations are not holding. because the system wasn't meant to handle this much power. -stay calm! the shield is failing. colonel, we need to abort. shut it down! it's not working. -i thought you said you could stop it! i know! it won't shut down. where the hell are you going? scott: -do something. brody: they're gone. thank you. if i can have everyone's attention, please. -i'm sorry to have to tell you that we will not be going home. not yet, anyway, but you can all relax and return to your quarters. the ship will not be exploding, at least not today. normal power levels will be restored soon, right? yes. -thank you. (people muttering) you staged the whole thing. so all of this was just to get rid of telford? had to be done. -so you're saying that the ship was never going to explode? oh, no, we would most definitely all be dead had i not put certain limits in place. i also arranged for the alarms and warnings to go off regardless. bit of theater, always nice. their plan was never going to work. -you could have warned us. you scared the crap out of everybody. well, i didn't know who was on my side, did i? young: colonel telford removed not only any sense of command, but the two scientists that designed and implemented the program that was causing the crisis. -the situation appeared to be irreversible. fortunately, dr. rush was able to avoid catastrophic disaster. yes, and we'd like to see how he did that, along with the rest of the data collected during the experiment. those were people's lives you were experimenting with. we were trying to get them home. -you cut and ran. there's no point in three more lives being lost if it could be avoided. colonel telford was following orders. young: sir, after much consideration, we have decided to stay in communication with earth. -i hope personal visits for everyone onboard will still be permitted. that depends, colonel. consider it done. young: thank you, sir. -i'm afraid the time that i've allotted for this briefing is now up. general. we are going to have to be tough. disciplined. the road may be longer than many of us hoped. -we will have to sacrifice, compromise, work together without exceptions. i thought you did a good job. people need to know the truth, but they also need hope. i need you to do something for me. sure thing. -go over the data collected as they tried to dial the gate. i have already. there's a lot i don't understand... well, then you need to learn, as fast as you can, and you talk to whoever you have to. you think rush is hiding something? -that's what i want you to tell me. (actlvates playback) young: we are going to survive. we are going to make it home. -make no mistake. my first priority is to make sure that we all return to those we love. (knock on door) english us -sdh destiny... the design is clearly ancient, launched hundreds of thousands of years ago. where the hell are we? several billion light years from home. -we're on a ship, but we have no idea where we are in relation to earth. this ship could be the most important discovery mankind has made since the stargate itself. these are the wrong people in the wrong place. we've got a lot of wounded. we need to get home. -we barely have enough power to operate the main systems. this ship simply doesn't have the capability to dial earth. in this case are five ancient communication stones. you physically take control of an individual at the other end... where are you? -it's top secret. wait, did you get the letter from-- yeah, the air force, i got it. you sound like you're in airplane. it's the kind of thing i always dreamed of. -dad, no, wait! the ship is old and damaged. we were losing air, and somebody had to-- he's dead, isn't he? i didn't choose my job over you. -it wasn't just about the job. i want nothing more than to get back here to be with you. you made your choice, everett. you are so beautiful. don't. -i'm sorry. i never meant to hurt you. colonel... sorry, sir, they're waiting. sorry. -we're late. you're late. it's my fault. thanks for joining us, colonel. sorry, sir, i wasn't expecting a party. -we may have figured out a way to get you home. surprise. now, the power flow issues are obviously the biggest variable, but our simulations are encouraging. it's time to take it to the next level. -any questions? sounds dangerous. the ioa fully supports the implementation of this plan. i've seen it for myself, the situation on board is dire and justifies the risk. look, i'm not going to pretend to understand everything you guys are talking about, but it sounds like there's a chance that this plan could end badly. -you want to get those people home. so do we. i'm just saying maybe these guys could do a little more calculating. the fact is, we are at the stage where a practical attempt is the only way to get any more hard data. the goal is to save lives. -and we don't want to put the ship at risk. all we're asking is that you try. well, this is something i would have to take up with everyone on board. colonel... my office? look, if it makes you feel any better, -colonel carter saved my ass dozens of times using all kinds of wacky science i didn't understand. well, i can't force people to do something they don't want to do. you're in command of that ship. it's not a democracy. i'm sorry, sir, it's just, it's not that simple. -yes. yes, it is. a united states senator is dead. his daughter and dozens of other people are trapped a billion light years away from home. the president wants it done. -sir, with all due respect-- you are being given a direct order, colonel-- and i'm telling you that regardless of the consequences to my standing, i'm going to take the situation under advisement. i will let you know my decision tomorrow. -are you sure you don't want anything? oh, i'm fine. thank you. must be nice to get out, i imagine. it is. -everyone's very impressed with how you're holding up, under the circumstances. i'm doing my best. you're our eyes and ears now. your life, certainly the lives of everyone aboard, is the first priority, but you have to understand, there's a lot at stake here. you passed me up for promotion four times. -i never really got a straight answer as to why. you are a highly trusted, well-respected member of this organization. you would not have been on icarus in the first place if you weren't. the point is, i know there's no way in hell you'd be talking to me right now if you had a choice. -so, please, can we just cut to the chase? make this happen. i'm not a scientist. how can i do that? you have influence. -the people on board need to believe it'll get them home. even if, in reality, it can get us all killed. not what i've been told-- why are you pushing so hard? if this works, we think we might be able to use the data to re-engineer the process in one of our ships here in this galaxy. -dial a gate to destiny without an icarus-type planet. yes, and get the team that was supposed to go in the first place back on board. now that we know where the ninth chevron leads, this mission has taken on even more importance. why isn't rush here? ah... -we're not convinced rush wants to come home. and do i have to remind you how much you have to gain, personally, in all of this? assuming i live. the ship doesn't have enough power to dial back to earth, and as we've seen recently, when the ship runs out of juice, it finds a star and refills its tanks. now, theoretically, at that time, the full power of the star should be available to us. -star power. ultimate wattage, baby. yeah, it's... it's brilliant. if we can somehow use the ship as a conduit and channel the star's energy into the gate as we dial-- -that would do it. problem is the whole "ship as a conduit" part. well, does anyone know when the ship will run out of power again? it's tough to tell. based on current usage, probably going to be several months. -not if we can drain the power faster. right, that's part of the plan that sounded a little vague. it's possible. so you guys are saying you're all for this? let's see what rush says. -given how little we know about this ship-- can't we at least try it and abort if something goes wrong? well, unfortunately, the "something goes wrong" part would most likely mean the ship exploding. not according to the people who came up with the idea. well, if only all science was that definitive, colonel. -you're just going to have to choose who you want to believe. there's nothing to worry about. it doesn't hurt at all. do i look worried? a little. -just trying to figure out what i'm going to say to my mom. my family thinks i'm on sabbatical in africa. so when it's time to come back, what do i do, click my heels three times? there's no way for you to disconnect the transmission yourself. the base needs to be manually shut down. -there's a device on the other side as well, and turning either off will sever the connection. pretty cool. easiest way to swap consciousness with someone across the universe i've ever seen. what's with the kino? -first time using the stones. very exciting. any chance i could get something else to wear? wow, check me out. okay, this is weird. -the people we're in can't hear us, can they? no. wonder what they're doing with our bodies. colonel telford. i'll just get right to it. -i've been ordered to enact the rescue plan put forward by the ioa. rescue plan? i don't understand. i've brought doctors mccormack and williams with me. i believe you know them. -yes. i've already set them to work. what about colonel young? effective immediately, i'm assuming command of destiny. -you replaced me. for now. without waiting to hear my answer? you were going to say-- give us more time. -then you were going to be disobeying a direct order. sir-- look, i offered you command of the expedition. you were my first choice, but you turned it down. your exact words, as i recall, were, -"i don't think it's still in me, sir." well, i'm there now, sir, whether i like it or not, whether anyone likes it. this is wrong, and you know it. i've spent most of my career looking up to you, because you always did the right thing even if it meant disregarding the chain of command-- colonel, don't think i like this. -they can't do this to us, can they? for now, they have. look, i think it comes down to the fact that they don't trust rush, and the truth is, i can't blame them. what are we supposed to do? well, they've given you permission to see your families as long as you guys follow the rules. -look, i hate to go there, but what happens if they screw up and the ship explodes? most likely, we will die here too. look, apparently, they're just doing some preliminary testing, information-gathering, nothing too crazy. so, what you're saying is, live it up while we can. colonel telford, i presume. -sergeant. he can use the facilities. that's it. and what if the power flow can't be controlled? well, if there are any dangerous fluctuations, we just shut it down and allow the ship to continue powering up. -early tests show it should work. we are not going to be putting you in any more danger than you're already in just being here. from what i gather, supplies are desperately short. and given the condition of the ship, it could experience a fatal breakdown at any time. no one is trying to alarm you unduly, but we can't continue to scrape by, barely surviving. -obviously, we can't say for sure that this is going to get you home, but the best minds that we have are working on this, and i'm sure you'll agree... it's well worth pursuing. dr. rush. colonel. it is spectacular, isn't it? -yes. if this plan has any chance at succeeding-- which it doesn't. control over most of the ship's operational systems is limited, at best. navigation, propulsion, and many others have been locked out entirely by a master code which we have had no luck in breaking. -i thought you might want to know we've come up with a way of draining the power. yes, so i heard. many of the power conduits have been badly damaged, and firing the ship's weapon system without either repairing them or isolating the damaged areas would be prohibitively dangerous. that's what we're working on right now. just wanted to keep you informed. -she's not going to understand. she can barely follow an episode of star trek. you don't have to tell her. yes? hi. -i-- can i help you? my name is... phillip. phillip fry. -i work with your son. you know eli? we've recently become very close. it doesn't feel real. it's like a... bad dream. -you're here. if this is the only way, i can live with that. i can't stay this way forever, mom. i know. -everyone's working very hard to get you home. i'm trying to get through this. i am. your father always used to say-- one step at a time. -i miss him so much. me too. oh, awesome, thanks. eli drinks four or five of those a day. actually, he quit. -really? i find that hard to believe. he's on a bit of a crash diet. you may not recognize him next time you see him. when will that be, do you know? -i'm sorry, i'm not sure. really getting into shape, though. can i get you something to eat? eli said you make the most amazing chocolate chip cookies. he told you that? -oh, yeah. it's crazy how close you get in such a short time. sometimes it's like he's just right up there in my brain. why don't i make some? you can take them back with you. -he also said you make a mean schnitzel, but i don't want to put you out. no, i'm happy to do it. you know, i thought he'd be calling more often. here, let me help you. -tell me... this work you're doing... i know you can't tell me much about it. i can tell you that it's important. in fact, it could change the world as we know it. really? -my eli? not that i'm surprised, don't get me wrong. he's my son. of course i think he's special, but he was always so bright, so different, but he just, uh... he never seemed to apply himself. -some of it was my fault. oh, no... he doesn't blame you at all, for anything. i'm sorry if this is personal, but he told me you're not well. did he? -lucky guess. eggs are in the fridge, right? i didn't think he ever talked to anyone about it. he asked me to make sure the air force was making good on their promise to help you. to be honest, the whole thing makes me a little anxious. -i... i really just want to know eli's okay. he is. you make sure you tell him i'm proud of him. i will. -i'm sorry. i-- it's just, it all happened so suddenly, and i... i miss him. he misses you too. -that's it for me. i'm almost done over here. you're stalling. i'm doing things the way they need to be done. now, we've isolated power to 4016661f the operational weapons system, and it should be good enough to get us a read on our power reduction capability. -the next time we drop out of ftl-- look, this ship is old and damaged. the computers aren't registering half the things they're supposed to. i want manual confirmation before activating any system that comprehensive. over 80 percent of this ship is inaccessible without spacesuits right now. -with only two suits, doing it your way could take months. if that's what it takes. dr. rush, we're ready here. okay, sending power through. riley... -looks like a coolant leak. i thought you got it. yeah, so did i. there's a problem. power's backing up in the relay. -shut it down. i'm trying. it's not working. the problem is contained. it's restricted to that corridor. -that's not the point. how big an explosion are we talking about? i'm going in. i can seal it. are you crazy? -you can't go in there! we're on the hull! rush! we are in ftl! if it punctures the hull, disrupts the shield at all, even for a microsecond, then the entire ship could be in jeopardy. -riley! it's, um... it's going to be touch and go. we're proceeding with the test next time we drop out of ftl. colonel, the man nearly died. -you're the one who put him in jeopardy. i was trying to make sure you didn't kill us all. i'm not going to. look, i accept responsibility for what happened, but you forced the situation, and activating the weapons system the way you're proposing is completely reckless. come on, rush, these people are in danger just being here, evidenced by what just happened. -this ship is falling apart. they're the wrong people for this. we need to get them home. yeah, well, there's a right way of doing that. we are doing it the right way. -that's a matter of opinion. look, i know that we've had our differences in the past. yeah, you wanted me off the expedition team. i remember. it was my duty to express concern for how everyone else felt about you. -so are you suggesting that my judgment is now somehow clouded, or is it that i'm just plain lying? admit it, rush, after everything that's happened, you're afraid they're not going to let you come back. hello? hey, it's me. how's it going? -okay. how'd your mom take it? couldn't do it. i told her i was a co-worker. i told my friends i'm cousin liz from out west. -i may have oversold the job. i said i was going to change everything for mankind as we know it. what the hell, right? might as well make her feel like i left for a good reason. -you did. right. i guess so. so, uh, some of my old friends are taking "cousin liz" out on the town to see janelle monae. you want to come hang out with us? -hell, yes. emily, it's me. emily... hey, no. emily! -emily, please just open the door. just go away! i'm not leaving, emily. i'm not going to leave you. i will call the police, everett. -emily, please, it doesn't end like this, emily! open the door! i just want to talk to you! hey... just, i need you to just listen to me, okay? -because i know this is crazy. i'm barely keeping it together, and the only thing that's keeping me from going out of my mind is you. that's making me crazy too, because i know how much i hurt you, and i know that you hate me for leaving. emily, i really tried-- i didn't want to come here. i tried not to come here, but i can't- -i can't stand it! baby, i'm so sorry. i'm so sorry, and i love you so much. please, just... i had to try, right? -just in case there was a chance. a chance that you could forgive me... you know, maybe you're just afraid thinking that i would die out there, so it's easier for you to push me away now than... have to face me like this. i just want to come home... to you, and that's all i want. hi. -me? what's your name? phil. can i buy you a drink? i have one. -yes, you do. want to dance? sure. oh, my god, this is awesome! hey, we're going to go dance. -you guys want to come? no. so, how long have celina and josh been together? i don't know. too bad about chloe's dad, huh? -yeah. what's she going to do? what do you mean? well, her job. she was working for him, right? -i don't really think that's on her mind right now. sure. well, tell her we're sorry. i will. you know, it sucks for me, because senator armstrong was hooking me up with his wall street connections, and now that's not going to happen. -i think i have to go throw up. hey... hey. so is chloe really okay? she'll be fine. -i wish she'd call me back. i'm sure she misses you. i think she's just having a hard time dealing right now. it's just... i really need to talk to her, you know? -you mean about the fact that you're sleeping with her boyfriend? what? it's pretty obvious you guys are together. look, josh and chloe broke up. yeah, i don't think she ever would have suspected that you're the real reason why. -i don't know who you think-- how could you do this to me? to you? you're supposed to be her best friend! get your hands off of me. -excuse me, colonel? can i have a word? one moment. about sergeant greer-- colonel telford? -oh, baby... scott, it's young. what just happened? we just dropped out of ftl, sir. uh, what's going on? -it must have disrupted communication between the stones. scott, listen to me, we don't have a lot of time. you've got to-- colonel young? colonel young! -oh, baby... what just happened? we just dropped out of ftl. looks like it might have temporarily disrupted the communication device. we have to fix that. -sir, i think colonel young wanted me to shut down the stones. this is no longer his command, is that clear? the device stays on. a glitch? that's one hell of a glitch, general. -that's what i'm being told, colonel. they're working on it. yes, sir. just let me know. they said it was some sort of glitch. -apparently. it won't happen again. how do they know? i don't know. right now, i don't care. -did you see that girl i was dancing with? she wrote her email address on my hand! i hate this. i hate everybody. hey, captain buzzkill. -whoa, okay, no more drinks for cousin liz. you see those two over there? that's my best friend, celina, and my ex-boyfriend. you can do better. do you want to dance? -i think i want to go over there and punch him in the face. hey, hey! i have an idea. how about we get out of here? whoa, whoa, whoa, easy... -this is awful. i'm not even drunk at all. really? because you seem drunk. my head's just all foggy. -almost there... usually it makes me feel better. at least for a little while. it usually makes me dizzy... and then i fall asleep. just once i'd like to go out with a girl and not have it end with her crying. -my life was so shallow and pointless, and then i started working with my dad. i really thought that i could do something, make a difference. you can. these aren't even my tears! -i'm sorry. if it makes you feel better, i had a really great time tonight. i'm glad. do you know the last time a girl that hot told me i was cute? -never. doesn't it bother you that she wasn't really talking about you? well, when you put it like that... uh, i didn't mean that. come on... -you're cute. the real you. what? nothing. go on. -you were saying... and you're funny, too, and you're a genius. oh... and... -don't say it. you're a good friend. yes. that's me. i am a good friend. -i don't want to be trapped on that ship, and i don't want to be stuck here like this. i can't feel anything. can you? well-- you know what's the worst part about having a father like mine? -whoa, how did we get onto that? you can't live up to it. he was so great. i'll never be like he was. my dad definitely would have punched josh in the face! -wow. i think i'm going to take you home. could you take me home? a lot of people are behind this. well, a lot of people play the lottery. -what's surprising is they'd do it with their lives. i know you're opposed. i have serious concerns myself. i'm just wondering how much safer it might be if you were involved. they can't keep me locked up in here forever. -you know he will, as long as he can. what you did... he had it coming to him. look, just shut down the damn stones, man. i'm not you, ron. he's our commanding officer-- -colonel young is our commanding officer. telford's got guards posted 24/7. what am i supposed to do? this better work. what are you doing? -i'm making sure we still have enough power to control these consoles when approaching the star. dr. williams says you've come up with a way of improving the odds of success. well, i don't want to die, colonel. good. hopefully, we've proven that's not our goal. -i'm sorry. i couldn't deal with it, the thought of you being trapped on that ship, with her. emily, what do i have to do? and i shouldn't have brought it up again. i know it's over, but you got to understand... -everett? no... rush, what's happening? we just jumped to ftl. rush? -colonel telford? yes... everything okay? he will be soon enough. all right, this is ridiculous. -jumping back and forth without any warning is completely-- ...unacceptable! seriously. routing power flow to the stargate. ready to attempt dial-in. do it. -all right, stand back! everyone back up! you're going to overload the capacitors. bringing power flow down. the limitations are not holding. -because the system wasn't meant to handle this much power. stay calm! the shield is failing. colonel, we need to abort. shut it down! -it's not working. i thought you said you could stop it! i know! it won't shut down. where the hell are you going? -do something. they're gone. thank you. if i can have everyone's attention, please... i'm sorry to have to tell you that, uh... -we will not be going home, not yet, anyway, but you can all relax and return to your quarters. the ship will not be exploding, at least not today. normal power levels will be restored soon, right? yes. -thank you. you staged the whole thing. so all of this was just to get rid of telford? had to be done. so you're saying that the ship was never going to explode? -oh, no, we would most definitely all be dead had i not put certain limits in place. i also arranged for the alarms and warnings to go off regardless. bit of theater, always nice. their plan was never going to work. you could have warned us. -you scared the crap out of everybody. well, i didn't know who was on my side, did i? colonel telford removed not only any sense of command, but the two scientists that designed and implemented the program that was causing the crisis. the situation appeared to be irreversible. fortunately, dr. rush was able to avoid catastrophic disaster. -yes, and we'd like to see how he did that, along with the rest of the data collected during the experiment. those were people's lives you were experimenting with. we were trying to get them home. you cut and ran. there was no point in three more lives being lost if it could be avoided. -colonel telford was following orders. sir... after much consideration, we have decided to stay in communication with earth. i hope personal visits for everyone on board will still be permitted. that depends, colonel. -consider it done. thank you, sir. i'm afraid the time that i've allotted for this briefing is now up. general... we are going to have to be tough. -disciplined. the road may be longer than many of us hoped. we will have to sacrifice, compromise, work together without exceptions. i thought you did a good job. people need to know the truth, but they also need hope. -i need you to do something for me. sure thing. go over the data collected as they tried to dial the gate. i have already. -there's a lot i don't understand-- well then, you need to learn, as fast as you can, and you talk to whoever you have to. you think rush is hiding something? well, that's what i want you to tell me. we are going to survive. -we are going to make it home. make no mistake, my first priority is to make sure that we all return to those we love. liz, did you hear? yeah, is your brother gonna be okay? oh, no, not that. -a new movie about janis joplin is going into production. and sheinhdt-universal is making it. i know jack can get me an audition. so i'm gonna storm into his office in character. -yay! oh, liz, i knew you'd be happy for me. somebody's sleepy. i am sleepy. but i'm also so excited. -hey, max, is this your baby sister? oh, what a cute little girl. or boy if you grow up and feel that's what's inside you. omg, liz. look at you and me and our biological clocks. -you're going baby crazy and i keep getting turned on by car accidents. i'm not baby crazy, jenna. this whole adoption thing is just taking a lot longer than i thought. -where did you get that little shoe? it isn't stealing if it fell on the ground. so, uh, that's the tour, elisa. i think you'll find being my mother's nurse a mixed bag. when she's in a foul mood, it can be horribly unpleasant. -but at other times, she is...asleep. i understand. elder care can be stressful. uh, especially when the object of that care wanders around at night in depression-era petty pants. -you should've seen my grandmother in her later years. do you know what kind of clothes old puerto rican ladies wear around the house? no. me neither 'cause she never wore any. -but family is family. and you're a good son. well, i do what i can for my mother. jack, somebody's gotta dry me off. he just left, mrs. -donaghy. i'm coming to help you. sync:frs@luscinia 30rock s03e07 tracy, your friends and i are concerned about you. we think your spending has gotten out of control. -give me an example. well, you bought three hours of network primetime for your salute to benny hill. jack, you don't get it. i don't want to spend so much. -i have to. i'm afraid angle will divorce me if i ever have enough money for her to live off of half. so before she can get, i have to spend it all on useless things -like gold shoes and grizz and dotcom. well, she's not gonna get half your money, tracy. what does your pre-nup say? i don't got a pre-nup! when angle and i got married, -my only assets were a toaster oven and two tickets to a young mc concert. you need to be protected. let's bring angle in here. we'll think of something. -a post-nup, if you will. something that will bring you peace of mind. okay. i'll bring angle in. but i'm gonna tell her this is all your idea. -don't help me. i'm too proud. hi! hiya, bunny! uh, excuse me. -hello, there. did you just touch my head? well... i had to do something to get your attention. okay, you've got it. -yeah, i do. i like your tie. and i li aggressive women with a nerdy vibe. how about we grab some coffee and explore this? yeah. -what? howdy, jack! it's me, janis joplin! and i want to audition for my sheinhardt-universal biopic so bad that i came here dressed as me. -actually, i am me so, well, i dressed normal. but my friend, jenna she should be my understudy. i mean, she should audition for me. -but i'm me now actually. i'm going train wreck aside, i love this idea. it's great synergy. yeah. by putting a tv actress into the movie world -we can promote both. it's like we're including a heroes dvd with missile guidance system we sell. i'll call the studio. yes! -i'm so glad that i time-traveled here from 1969. whoa, what is that iron bird? they had airplanes in the '60s, jenna. oh, right. boy, i feel like i've just been talking nonstop. -no, you also ate quite a bit. it's my fault for wanting to hear all about your job. it's just so much more interesting than the u.n. oh, come on, really? you got all the different languages and the costumes. -and that big meeting room. it must be like working in the galactic senate in star wars. they are similar. we are also very concerned about the growing influence of the sith lords. -wow. are you free for dinner some night this week? yeah, sure, i'd love it. sounds great. who was that? -a guy that i met. is this part of your mommy thing? only in so far as we met because i touched his head thinking he was a child. oh, liz. -i like him. he's smart. he's funny. he's got a job. yay! -but you know what? i'm gonna screw this up. i always find a way to screw good things up, and this one is a mine field. did i mention that we met because i thought he was a baby? -he doesn't have to know that. he can't know that. but what if i say something stupid like order a tall coffee or talk about my nintendo wil? liz, you like this guy. -you're a grown woman. take a lesson from janis and show some self-control. how far into that biography are you? not very. why? -what happens? so let me get this straight. if i sign this and then tracy decides to run away with that chunky chick from hairspray-- or any female of equivalent thickness. -then i get $8,500? that's correct. ugh. what do i care? i'll sign your stupid contract. -never gonna leave this man anyway. you're not? baby. i'm gonna be with you to the very end. i'm gonna watch you die, tracy jordan. -she's done it before, jack. forget it! i know you're not gonna leave me. i got somebody who's gonna watch me die! tracy, let's not get emotional. -this is happening, jack. you could stay or you could leave, but it's gonna take a while. oh, yeah! uh, liz, jenna got the lead in the janis joplin biopic -that i'm co-producing. and i want her to open the next show with a song from the movie. aw, come on, jack. you can't fight synergy, lemon. -it's bigger than all of us. nice dress. are you going to dinner? don't forget your book. i'll have you know that i'm having dinner with a man. -so stuart, what is it like living under a bridge? kenneth! hey, liz. i was just telling him about my new apartment in williamsburg... -under the bridge. the u.n.? they still have that? i could've sworn they turned that building into a barnes and noble. -like you guys in corporate america are doing any better? have you learned how to say "do you want fries with that" in chinese? ha! jack donaghy, -ser vp for television and microwave oven programming. stuart lagrange, u.n. high commission on water temperature and food taint. and how did you and lemon meet? uh, liz here just saw me on the street and went for it. -lemon did that? yeah. you know me. spend my lunch hour walkinup and down 6th aven looking for a hot meal. -okay. classic lemon man-eater. cat sound. well, nice to meet you, jack. yeah. -there he is! i owe you, jackie d. when i'm on my death bed, frenching my wife, i will think of you. please don't. -no, no. not again. this is real, people! this is not a drill! let's go! -yeah! tracy, my back! ooh, baby, hurt my back. yeah! oh! -i just want you all to know as i prepare to venture into moviedom, that an actor is only as good as the words-- oh, my thing is on. everyone shut up. -shut your mouths. breaking news now about a new janis joplin biopic. julia roberts has agreed to play the tragic singer... what? in a film directed by martin scorse -and written by the best screenwriter in the world, whoever that is. the announcement is a huge blow to a competing project from jenna moroney and steven spielberger. that's right. -spielberger. here's moroney on a windy day. don't turn it off, ms. moroney. they haven't shown that good news you were telling us about. 'cause that all seemed like really bad news. -it's 7:00. why don't i hear my mother yelling "go home" to the asian contestant on jeopardy? 'cause she's asleep. really? -how did you do that? she fought me at first, but i find that authoritative rapid spanish subdues white people. well, i'm heading out for the evening. oh, i forgot. -somebody dropped that off for you earlier. oh, good god. oh, gold shoes. my nephew just joined the marines to try to pay for college, -but that's fun. no, no, they're from tracy jordan. i tried to get him and his wife to sign a pre-nup, but all that led to were pledges of everlasting love and devotion. was ridiculous. -what's ridiculous about love? well, the idea of depending on one person for the rest of your live is irrational. you come in alone, you go out alone. that's the saddest thing i ever heard. -there's nothing sad about it at all, actually. i have a great life. tonight i'm going out with a fox news correspondent. we'll have some dinner, some laughs, some sex. not necessarily in that order. -but i'm not counting on spending the rest of my life with her. so what's your plan? get old, die alone in an empty room with your gold shoes? that's what happens to most of us. -at least i'm prepared. without getting into specifics, my exit involves a mcflurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas. well, i don't even know what to say to that. -except that in puerto rico, a mcflurry, it's called asenor flurry. this guy makes badhushas. they're like an indian donut. they're amazing. -careful, buddy, it's hot! are you trying to pick me up to keep me from touching fire? kiss me. wait a minute. when you first met me, did you think i was a child? -yes, i did, sir. unbelievable. i knew i should've listened to my friends. kofi said you were too good to be true. na ah -told me to wait three days before i called you. and yet here we are. was anything even going to happen between us tonight? no. but not because of your size. -it's because i have a thing about intimacy. i'm the weird one. i'm weirder than you. ? you're not. -that came out wrong. you came out wrong. oh, and i lied about your show. i have seen it. be careful crossing the-- -the lady will be having the tasting menu but with some substitutions. instead of any of it, she'll have a cup of hot water with a chicken bone in it and a bowl of salted ice cubes. -a towel, sir? i have something on my ball. mint? good morning. morning, everyone. -are you all right? you look very pale. i'm fine. i had a good hour of sleep last night, took a few showers. -there anything you want to talk about? i am a nurse. it's nothing. it's embarrassing. more embarrassing than your cd collection? -i didn't know michael buble had so many albums. if you must know, i found a lump. on your testicle? let me see it. -no, thank you. i think i have it under control. what? you're talking so fast. is that the subjunctive? -how did you do i told you i was a professional. and you forgot to put on your underpants. so, uh, any big plans for your day off? i'm going to prospect park. -it's my goddaughter's quincenera. oh, it'sind of like a debutante...ball. you did that on purpose. i did. well, there is something there. -could be a number of things. you should get it checked out by a doctor. thank you for telling me what i already know. you should work forthe huffington post. i'm sorry. -i'm sure you have friends or family you can call. i'm fine. oh, please. don't try to besenor macho solo. which is actually what we call a mcrib sandwich. -i'm fine. i'm handling this... all alone. jack, what are we doing about this julia roberts movie? aren't people over her? -i mean, come on! jenna, you're single like me. do you think we need some mythical soul mate to hold our hand through life? why, do you want to get married? -i'll do it? what? what? uh, no. uh, never mind. -the movie's gonna work out fine. we're very close to securing janis joplin's life rights. close? i'm supposed to sing one of her songs friday night. do we at least have the music rights? -uh, yes and no, jenna. yes, i'm talking. no, we do not have the music. but i'm on it. it's all gonna be fine. -hello. stuart, it's me. look, liz, i'm really busy right now. i just wanted to apologize for the other night. but i didn't get a chance to explain myself. -i'm...kind of baby crazy of late. socially inept and baby crazy. i feel like i'm in a beer commercial. yeah, i get it. i'm a piece of work. -but i really like you. and if you gave me another chance, maybe this could be something. liz, at this point in my life, maybe just isn't good enough. -okay, here's a thought. did you see thesex in the citymovie? once again, liz, i am an adult man. okay, well miranda and steve were having issues because steve cheated-- -oh, so bored. the point is they decided to take a break and then meet up at the brooklyn bridge at such and such a time if they wanted to stay together. maybe we could do the same thing. -brooklyn bridge, this saturday, 2:00 p.m. okay. but for whatever reason, if i don't see you there, take care, liz lemon. -you too. oh, and can you transfer me to the italian ambassador's office? because i lika to maka prank phone call. please hold. jack. -what are you doing here? i wanted to come by and thank you for all your help. i wasn't sure what you were serving, so i brought a '65 moet and some pizza-blasted pringles. that was very thoughtful. -i'm sorry if i was rude the other day. oh, you were not being rude. you were just being stupid. did you go to the doctor? i had a biopsy, -and i'm waiting for the results. so i'm handling it. good. i'm glad. excellent. -so, uh, here you go. thank you. jack, would you like to stay? oh, i don't want to impose. oh, come on. -oh, thank you. okay. oh, thank you so much. all of these people are your family? why are they smiling so much? -who's being ostracized? everybody, this is my friend jack. ? ? ? -i need to ask your advice about stuart. we decided to do this whole meet me at the brooklyn bridge if we still want to be together thing from thesex in the city movie. they do that a lot in movies. -an affair to rember, sleepless in seattle, and that remake of an affair to rember that i was in, a blaffair to rememblack. i just don't know what to do. -here's what you don't do. be alone. we were never meant to be alone, lemon. surround yourself with people and love and babies with pierced ears. -what is wrong with you? i've had a crazy 48 hours. it all started when i realized i'm probably dying. you see, i have this thing on my testicle. ew, my god. -no, no, it's okay. whatever happens, it's okay. i don't want to die alone and now i don't have to because... i'm in love with my mother's nurse. -now you have what me and angie have, minus the hypertension. jack, slow down. have you been to a doctor? i'm waiting for the results of a biopsy. -we went to this picnic. lemon, have you ever had apiragua? it's exactly like a snow cone except they call it apiragua. it's my doctor's office. you take it. -no, jack. i'll do it hello? yes. okay. -thank you. the test was positive. no, no, no, no-- i mean positive like it's good. the test results were negative. -oh, i see your confusion. that is funny! okay. funny! jack thought the test results was positive! -supersonic idiotic disconnected not respected who would ever really want to go and top that top that thank you. -that was the rap song"top that" from the movieteen witch. once again, i apologize that our regular warm-up comic o.d.ed at a gay man's apartment this morning. 30 seconds. i've decid to go to the bridge tomorrow. -you've inspired me. what if this experience hasn't changed me? maybe everything i was feeling for elisa was just neediness and fear. i mean, can two people fall in love over a benign gonad cyst? -why not? it's not about where things start. it's about where it goes. tracy told me that. he's kind of on a roll. -ladies and gentlemen, miss janet jopler! who? until we get the life rights, we have to protect ourselves. -i'd like you to come on come on come on and take it take another little chunk of my lung now, mister also, we didn't get the songs. -i wrote this myself five minutes ago. you know you bought it if life makes you sweet food now this i like. waiting for someone? -what? what do you think you're doing? oh, i'm so sorry! i thought he was someone else. liz. -wh-- shut it down! chunk of my lung chunk of my lung and take it -take a big ol' chunk of my lung now baby take it take a big old chunk of my lung chunk of my lung you know you bought it -if you buy it with things liz, did you hear? yeah, is your brother going to be okay? no, not that. a new movie about janis joplin is going into production. -and sheinhardt-universal is making it! i know jack can get me an audition. so i'm going to storm into his office in character. yaaaaaaaay! oh, liz, i knew you'd be happy for me. -somebody's sleepy! i am sleepy. but i'm also excited... hey, max! is this your baby sister? -what a cute, little girl! or boy, if you grow up and feel that's what's inside you. "o-m-g-", liz. look at you and me and our biological clocks. you're going baby crazy and i keep getting turned on by car accidents. -i'm not baby crazy, jenna. this whole adoption thing is just taking a lot longer than i thought, and... where did you get that little shoe? it isn't stealing if it fell on the ground. so that's the tour, elisa. -i think you'll find being my mother's nurse is a mixed bag. when she's in a foul mood, it can be horribly unpleasant. but, at other times, she is asleep. i understand elder care can be stressful. especially when the object of that care wanders around at night in depression-era pettipants. -you should have seen my grandmother in her later years. do you know what kind of clothes old puerto rican ladies wear around the house? no. me neither, because she never wore any. but family is family. -you're a good son. well, i do what i can for my mother. jack? ! somebody's got to dry me off! -he just left, mrs. donaghy! i'm coming to help you! tracy, your friends and i are concerned about you. we think your spending has gotten out of control. give me an example. -well, you bought three hours of network prime time for your salute to benny hill. jack, you don't get it. i don't want to spend so much. i have to. i'm afraid angie will divorce me if i ever have enough money for her to live off of half. -so, before she can get it... i have to spend it all on useless things, like gold shoes and grizz and dotcom. well, she she's not going to get half your money, tracy. what does your pre-nup say? -i don't got a pre-nup. when angie and i got married, my only assets were a toaster oven and two tickets to a young m.c. concert. you need to be protected. let's bring angie in here. we'll think of something. -a "post-nup", if you will. something that will bring you peace of mind. okay. i'll bring angie in. but i'm going to tell her this is all your idea. -don't help me! i'm too proud. hi! hi! oh, wow! -"hi-ya", funny. oh, excuse me. hello, there. did you just touch my head? well... -i had to do something to get your attention. okay. you've got it. yeah, i do. i like your tie. -and i like aggressive women with a nerdy vibe. how about we grab some coffee and explore this? yeah. what? howdy, jack! -it's me, janis joplin! and i want to audition for my sheinhardt-universal biopic so bad that i came here dressed as me. well, actually... i am me. so... -well, i dressed normal. but my friend, jenna maroney... she should be my understudy. i mean, she should audition for me. but i'm me, now, actually. -ongoing train wreck aside, i love this idea. it's great synergy. yeah! by putting a t.v. actress in to the movie world, we can promote both. it's like how we're including a "heroes" d.v.d. -with every missile guidance system we sell. i'll call the studio. yes! i am so glad that i time-traveled here from 1969. whoa! -what is that iron bird? they had airplanes in the '60s, jenna. oh, right. boy, i feel like i've just been talking non-stop. no, you also ate quite a bit. -it's my fault for wanting to hear all about your job. it's just so much more interesting than the u.n. oh, come on. really? you've got all the different languages and the costumes and that big meeting room. -it must be like working in the galactic senate in "star wars". they are similar. we are also very concerned about the growing influence of the sith lords. wow. are you free for dinner some night this week? -yeah. sure. i'd love to. sounds great. who was that? -a guy that i met. is this part of your mommy thing? only insofar as we met because i touched his head thinking he was a child? oh, liz. i like him. -he's smart, he's funny, he's got a job... yay! but you know what? i'm going to screw this up. i always find a way to screw good things up. -and this one is a mine field. did i mention that we met because i thought he was a baby? he doesn't have to know that. oh. he can't know that. -but what if i say something stupid? like order a tall coffee or talk about my nintendo wii? liz. you like this guy. you're a grown woman. -take a lesson from janis and show some self-control. how far into that biography are you? not very. why? what happens? -so, let me get this straight. if i sign this, and then tracy decides to run away with that chunky chick from "hairspray"... or any female of equivalent thickness. then i get $8500? that is correct. -what do i care? i'll sign your stupid contract. i'm never going to leave this man, anyway. you're not? baby, i'm going to be with you until the very end. -i'm going to watch you die, tracy jordan. she's done it before, jack. forget it! i know you're not going to leave me. i've got somebody who's going to watch me die! -tracy, let's not get emotional. this is happening, jack. you can stay or you can leave. but it's going to take a while. whoa! -oh, yeah! oh! oh! uh, liz... jenna got the lead in the janis joplin biopic that i'm co-producing. -and i want her to open the next show with a song... from the movie. aw, come on, jack. you can't fight synergy, lemon. it's bigger than all of us. nice dress. -are you going to dinner? don't forget your book. i'll have you know that i'm having dinner with a man. oh. so, stuart... -what is it like living under a bridge? kenneth! hey, liz. i was just telling him about my new apartment in williamsburg. under the bridge. -the u.n.? they still have that? i could have sworn they turned that building into a barnes and noble. like you guys in corporate america are doing any better? have you learned how to say "do you want fries with that" in chinese? -jack donaghy. senior v.p. for television and microwave oven programming. stuart lagrange. u.n. high commission on water temperature and food taint. huh. -how... how did you and lemon meet? uh... liz, here, just saw me on the street and went for it. lemon did that? -yeah, you know me. spend my lunch hour walking up and down sixth avenue... looking for a hot meal. okay. classic lemon man-eater. -cat sound. well, nice to meet you, jack. yeah. there he is! i owe you, jackie"d". -when i'm on my death bed, frenching my wife, i will think of you. please don't. no, no. not again. this is real, people! -this is not a drill! let's go! yeah! oh, god! tracy! -my back! oh, baby! you're hurting my back! oh, yeah! i just want you all to know as i prepare to venture into "movie-dom", that an actor is only as good as the words... -oh, my thing is on! everyone, shut up! shut your mouths! breaking news now about a new janis joplin biopic. julia roberts has agreed to play the tragic singer... -what? ... billy in a film directed by martin scorsese and written by the best screenwriter in the world. whoever that is. the announcement is a huge blow to a competing project from jenna maroney and steven spielberger. -that's right. "spielberger". here's maroney on a windy day. oh! don't turn it off, miss maroney! they haven't shown that good news you were telling us about. -because that all seemed like really bad news. it's 7:00. why don't i hear my mother yelling "go home" to the asian contestant on jeopardy? because she's asleep. -really? how did you do that? she fought me at first. but i find that authoritative, rapid spanish subdues white people. well, i'm heading out for the evening. -oh, i forgot. somebody dropped that off for you earlier. oh, good god. oh. gold shoes. -my nephew just joined the marines to try to pay for college, but... that's fun. no, no. they're from tracy jordan. i tried to get him and his wife to sign a pre-nup. but all it led to were pledges of ever lasting love and devotion. -it was... ridiculous. what's ridiculous about love? well, the idea of depending on one person for the rest of your life is irrational. you come in alone. you go out alone. -that's the saddest thing i ever heard. there's nothing sad about it at all, actually. i have a great life. tonight, i'm going out with a fox news correspondent. we'll have some dinner, some laughs, some sex... -not necessarily in that order. but i'm not counting on spending the rest of my life with her. so, what's your plan? get old? die alone? -in an empty room with your gold shoes? that's what happens to most of us. at least i'm prepared. without getting into specifics, my exit involves a mcflurry machine and a videotape of risqué commercials from overseas. well, i don't even know what to say to that. -except that in puerto rico, a mcflurry is called a "señor flurry". this guy makes "badhushas". they're like an indian doughnut. they're amazing. careful, buddy! -it's hot! are you trying to pick me up to keep me from touching fire? kiss me. wait a minute. when you first met me, did you think i was a child? -yes, i did, sir. unbelievable. i knew i should have listened to my friends. kofi said you were too good to be true. "not ah" told me to wait three days before i called you. -and yet, here we are. was anything even going to happen between us tonight? no. but... but not because of your size. -it's because i have a thing about intimacy. i'm the weird one. i'm weirder than you. how am i weird? you're not. -that came out wrong. you came out wrong. oh, and i lied about your show. i have seen it. be careful crossing the... -the lady will be having the tasting menu, but with some substitutions. instead of, uh... any of it... she'll have a cup of hot water with a chicken bone in it and a bowl of salted ice cubes. a towel, sir? i have something on my ball. mint? -good morning. morning, everyone. are you all right? you look very pale. i'm fine. -had a good hour's sleep last night. took a few showers. is there anything you want to talk about? i am a nurse. it's nothing. -it's embarrassing. more embarrassing than your cd collection? i didn't know michael bublé had that many albums. if you must know, i found a lump. -on your testicle? let me see it. no, thank you, i think i have it under control -- what? you're talking so fast -is that the subjunctive? how did you do that? i told you i was a professional. and you forgot to put on your underpants. so, uh... any big plans for your day off? -i'm going to prospect park. it's my god-daughter's quinceneara. oh, it's kind of like a debutante... ball? hm. you did that on purpose. -i did. well... there is something there. it could be a number of things. you should get it checked out by a doctor. thank you for telling me what i already know. -you should work for the huffington post. i'm sorry. i'm sure you have friends or family you can call. i'm fine. oh, please. -don't try to be señor macho solo. which is actually what we call a "mcrib" sandwich. i'm fine. i'm handling this... all alone. jack. -what are they doing about this julia roberts movie? aren't people over her? i mean, come on! jenna, you're single like me. do you think we need some mythical soul mate to hold our hand through life? -why? do you want to get married? i'll do it. what? uh... -uh, no. uh... uh, never mind. uh, the movie's going to work out fine. we're very close to securing janis joplin's life rights. -close? i'm supposed to sing one of her songs friday night. do we at least have the music rights? uh... yes and no, jenna. -yes, i'm talking. uh, no, we do not have the music. but i'm on it. it's all going to be fine. hello? -stuart, it's me. uh... look, liz. i'm really busy right now. i just wanted to apologize for the other night. -but i didn't get a chance to explain myself. i'm... kind of baby crazy of late. socially inept and baby crazy. i feel like i'm in a beer commercial. yeah, i get it. -i'm a piece of work. but i really like you. and if you gave me another chance, maybe this could be something. liz, at this point in my life, "maybe" just isn't good enough. okay, here's a thought. -did you see the sex and the city movie? once again, liz, i am an adult man. okay. well, miranda and steve were having issues because steve cheated... oh... -so bored. but the point is they decided to take a break and then meet up at the brooklyn bridge at such-and-such a time if they wanted to stay together. maybe we could do the same thing? brooklyn bridge this saturday? 2:00 p.m.? -okay. but for whatever reason if i don't see you there... take care, liz lemon. you too. oh. -and can you transfer me to the italian ambassador's office? because i'd "like-a" to "make-a" the prank phone call. please hold. jack. what are you doing here? -i wanted to come by and thank you for all your help. i wasn't sure what you were serving, so i brought a '65 moët and some "pizza-blasted" pringles. that was very thoughtful. and i'm sorry if i was rude the other day. oh, you were not being rude. -you were just being stupid. did you go to the doctor? i had a biopsy and i'm waiting for the results. so i'm handling it. good. -i'm glad. excellent. so, uh... here you go. thank you. -jack, would you like to stay? i don't want to impose. oh. come on. oh. -why, thank you. okay. oh, thank you so much. all of these people are your family? why are they smiling so much? -who's being ostracized? everybody, this is my friend, jack. hey. i need to ask your advice about stuart. we decided to do this whole -"meet-me-at-the-brooklyn-bridge- if-you-still-want-to-be-together" thing from the sex and the city movie? they do that a lot in movies. an affair to remember, sleepless in seattle... and that remake of an affair to remember that i was in... "a blaffair to rememblack". -i just don't know what to do. here's what you don't do. be alone. we were never meant to be alone, lemon. surround yourself with people and love and babies with pierced ears. -what is wrong with you? i've had a crazy 48 hours. it all started when i realized i'm probably dying. you see, i have this thing on my testicle. ew, my god. -no, no, no. it's okay. whatever happens, it's okay. i don't want to die alone. and now, i don't have to. -because... i'm in love with my mother's nurse. wow. now you have what me and angie have. minus the hypertension. -jack, slow down. have you been to a doctor? no, i'm waiting for the results of a biopsy. we went to this picnic. lemon, have you ever had a piragua? -it's exactly like a snow-cone, except they call it a piragua. it's my doctor's office... you take it. no, jack. please. -i'll do it. hello? yes? okay. thank you. -the test was positive. no, no, no, no, no. i mean "positive" like it's good. the test results were negative. oh, i see your confusion! -that is funny! hey. funny... jack thought the test results were positive. # supersonic, idiotic, disconnected, not respected...? -# who would ever really want to go and top that... top that...? thank you. that was the rap song "top that" from the movie "teen witch". once again, i apologize that our regular warm-up comic -o.d.'d at a gay man's apartment this morning. thirty seconds. i've decided to go to the bridge tomorrow. you've inspired me. what if this experience hasn't changed me? -maybe everything i was feeling for elisa was just neediness and fear. i mean, can two people fall in love over a benign gonad cyst? why not? it's not about where things start. it's about where it goes. -tracy told me that. he's kind of on a roll. ladies and gentlemen, miss janet jopler! who? until we get the life rights, we have to protect ourselves. -# i'd like you to come up... come up... come up and take it...? # break another little chunk of my love now, mister...? also, uh, we didn't get the song. -i wrote this myself five minutes ago. # you know you bought it... if life makes you sweet food...? now, this, i like. waiting for someone? -what? what do you think you're doing? oh, i'm so sorry! i thought he was someone else! liz. -wait. shut it down! # ah..? #... ah? -# chunk of my lung... chunk of my lung...? # and take it... take a big old chunk of my lung now, baby...? # take it... -break a big old chunk of my love... chunk of my love...? # you know you bought it... if you buy it with things... ow...? -so, you working on a little extra credit? it's kind of a thought exercise. about two dozen unsolved murders. i mean, it looks pretty real to me. ever since don got hurt, i can't stop thinking every violent act is, to some degree, explicable. -you got a lot of different m.o.s here, different victim types: men, women, children; shot, stabbed, strangled, bludgeoned. three of these are pedestrian hit-and-runs. but there is a timeline pattern. -you found a pattern in all this? yep. by using some of the same mathematical concepts that look for signs of intelligent life in our universe. ah, yeah, of course. it's not as "out there" as it seems. -the universe creates an endless background of electromagnetic static. seti... the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence... uses algorithms to sift through all this random cosmic noise to find a signal that is complex yet repetitive, a non-natural pattern created by an intelligence. i've adapted the signal detection algorithm to analyze the pattern, and i got... this spatio-temporal visualization model. its sequence is half lunar. it's indicative of a recurring emotional need, buffered by planning and surveillance. -okay, but if the m.o.s and the victims are all different? he's a different type of serial killer. all right. he's working on a theory. serial killer nobody's noticed but him. -how does he figure? signals from deep space. seems a little outside the box even for charlie. yeah, thing is, a few years ago, don got shot at a bank robbery that charlie had predicted. he retreated to his garage, and he buried himself in an unsolvable math problem. -he's been in here 24/7 the past five days. you know, there's a symptom of post traumatic stress disorder called hypervigilance. means you're always looking out for potential danger and threats, thinking you see it. and it's not really there. trying to scare me to death. -what are you doing at the fbi till 3:00 in the morning? nothing. nothing, huh? you're working some serial case. david told me. -he thinks i'm overreacting? charlie, hey, this isn't your fault. i know that. well, you got to move on. since when have you ever moved on? -since i got stabbed. sooner or later, we're both gonna have to learn we can't solve every problem. hey! call 911! ah, betancourt, thanks for coming. -yeah, no problem, jj. what'd you got? postal worker halfway through his rounds popped in the head, small-caliber, close-range. and what's he doing in the alley? a resident says he uses the alleyway as a shortcut. -maybe somebody knew his routine, but your guy's working on that angle. my guy? yeah, the professor. he's yours, isn't he? -yeah. yeah, he's ours. well, the pattern isn't perfect. i mean, there are micro-clusters that are currently anomalous. but the overall pattern is extraordinarily regular, which is indicative... -how many murders in a micro-cluster? two. mostly. sometimes three. that's very micro. -david, those are outliers. the macro-pattern is persistent, statistically valid. charlie, we both started here on the same case five years ago. okay, you know i'm a believer in what you do. and i'm asking for a lot. -working your theory would take hundreds of man-hours. everybody's already busy on confirmed crimes; if i tried to reassign agents to work a serial case that had no serial elements, outside of a timeline pattern discovered by a mathematician, i mean, i'd get fired. this is what he's counting on. excuse me? -he knows serial killers get caught because of patterns, telltale traits, compulsive behavior, so he switches his m.o.s, his weapons, victim types on purpose. no repetitive behavior means no pattern. no reason to expend law enforcement resources to find one. all right, what do you want me to do, charlie? seti telescopes... -always gathering data. i need more data. i'll take anything you can give me. okay, all right. there's a lot of amateur work being done for serial killer data, and some of it is surprisingly comprehensive. -amateur work. yeah. there's a guy we worked with on a recent case. you should meet him. good afternoon. -hah? hi. i'm... oh! professor! -welcome. roy mcgill. oh, welcome! hi. such a pleasure. -hey, would you mind locking up? thanks, buddy. certainly. please forgive the, uh, concrete decor. nature of my work requires an enhanced level of security. -welcome to the truth cave. you like it? pretty cool, right? pretty cool. you hungry? -i'm fine. okay. oh! you got to hear this. heads up. -watch this. wait for it. wait for it. this'll be good. you know what that is? -'course you don't. that's a sound recording of a ufo from a russian friend of mine. code name: teeger woods. like tiger woods, or not. -huh? art bell's gonna run it on his show tonight. actually, i'm, um, i'm just here to talk to you about... serial killer, right? you know how i knew that? -i have esp. i don't have esp. i'm totally messing with you. agent sinclair told me. oh! -freakin' awesome, man! i always knew you and i were gonna team up. i always knew it. i'm really just here to collect some data... i'm a little surprised it took the fbi so long. -i mean, i've only got the sixth most popular blog on serial killers. oh. do you want this seat? i'm fine. oh, so am i. -it's pretty comfortable. hey, look at this. so, i found two murders that fit into your, huh, timeline pattern. i tried to find things that fit into the, spatio-tempura that agent sinclair sent me. by the look of it, i didn't do a good job. -i was really hoping to find more data than this. not a problem. not... a... problem. and we're off! where are we going? -serial killer data central. yeah! gene evans. it's a pleasure. you guys should have, like, some sort of, like, you know, crazy, math handshake. -gene's into numbers, too. gene's an accountant. mm retired. uh, and, tabulating taxes hardly qualifies as math the way professor eppes knows it. -gene is part of a network... amateurs who help with police investigations. the number of missing persons and unsolved murders can overwhelm most agencies, so there's hundreds of us around the country, and we... gather and tabulate data as much as we can. gene solved four missing person cases in california and a murder case in oregon. well, "assisted" would be closer to the truth. but the fact is, i stopped. -couple of years ago, i got a bunch of phone calls, probably just cranks, but it spooked the wife. well, any information you can provide would be much appreciated here, gene. when roy described your theory... something came to mind. these aren't i.a.-area cases. they're all from up near fresno and bakersfield. -and several years ago. yeah, but... the time patterns, the knowledge of the victims' routines, uh, very similar. and-and then there's this. that's a constrictor knot. simple and secure, but once you get it tight, it's very difficult to untie. -same knot was used in five of the cases you're looking into. whoa. freaky. have you shown any of this to the police? yes. -a detective up in bakersfield. brent driscoll. charlie, you're living and working out of boxes now. you've become a previous incarnation of me. what's taking you so long? -do you need some help? i'm too busy. i need to find the missing pieces here. make one mistake, people get hurt. cognitive emergence work. -god, you haven't even touched this since don's injury. have you ever considered this might be an overreaction? my theory's correct. if you want to say that this is a reaction to don's situation, go ahead. no, i mean, come on, you're an applied mathematician. -you're applying math to a problem. and there's something to be said for cathartic endeavors. well, let's say, for hypothetical reasons, that i'm not crazy, that my timeline pattern is correct. let's say that there is a serial killer who has avoided detection. why the anomalies in the timeline? -why the micro-clusters? what am i missing? well, whatever is missing lies beyond all of this. you seek to quantify a single individual in some elegant, mathematical pattern. but the universe is full of all these odd bumps and twists. -and so are people. now, perhaps your approach needs to be less elegant, more complicated. haven't we had this conversation before? well, now, cosmologically speaking, everything that happens has happened before. can i help you find something? -yeah, i think i left something in here, some files. for your serial killer case? it's an office; people talk. so everyone thinks i'm crazy. you know about kim rossmo? -canadian detective, mathematician. his work on geographic profiling was... was groundbreaking. rossmo identified the same type of serial killer as you're looking for... one that deliberately hides any signs of a criminal pattern. he called them stealth predators. they try to commit crimes in such a way that authorities aren't even aware of it. -really? in vancouver, he did something a lot like what you're doing... working only off of a pattern. the police didn't believe his theory that a cluster of disappearances was the work of a single killer. so they fire rossmo. ten more deaths later, they realize that he's right. -so they caught the killer with 31 bodies buried on his property. i'd love to see rossmo's methodology. had a feeling you might be interested. thanks, matt. you're in my spot here. -i fell asleep. i just had the worst dream. i wonder why. what are you doing here? i like it here. -i don't know what it is, you know? i've been shot. i've been beaten. how many sports did i play as a kid? and i-i've never been laid up like this. -you got stabbed. how can you be so calm about it? well, i mean, i survived, for one thing. who are you? what have you done with my brother? -i don't know, charlie. all i can tell you is i feel like job just doesn't owe me anymore. yeah? well, that's got to be the meds talking. where you going? -i might as well work. i don't want to have another dream like that one. charles? hey. um, is everything okay? -my search for a non-random signal has revealed not only an intelligence, but an extremely careful and shrewd intelligence. it's not one area; it's three. he moves. what, the serial killer? yeah. -it became apparent when i combined gene evans' data with kim rossmo's methodology that this killer is a stealth predator. he knows that too many murders in one area gets attention, and so he moves. terrific. a super-smart killer. -who's struck three times in 18 years, starting in northern california, and then the fresno-bakersfield area, and now he's here. it's good to see you. bye. you do realize 7:00 is an inhuman hour to be calling somebody. we're very close, roy. -i just need a little more data, and i'm thinking gene's gonna have it. oh, man, this is gonna blow the doors off the zodiac, bundy, the red ripper. gene? martha? hello? -let's check the garage. well, car's still here. oh, my god. oh, my god. gene evans and his wife don't fit the macro-pattern. -they fit the pattern of micro-clusters. what interests me is that evans collected data on the killings. police interviewed a witness who was driving by the evans' house near the time of the killing. this is the description he gave of a man he saw walking across their front yard. uh, david, sheriff's homicide's asking if we're working the evans murder with them. -tell them we're looking at it for a possible link to an fbi case. okay. do i tell them we suspect a serial? no. not yet. -first, we need to see if anybody had an ordinary motive for killing gene evans. want to be sure. my brother gene and his wife martha were good people. what happened to them is wrong. is there anyone who would want to hurt them? -i thought you knew about that already. a former client said gene made a mistake on his taxes, cost him his life savings. he threatened my brother. they had to get a restraining order. there's police reports and everything. -the guy's a nut. what's this guy's name? mark horn. he said you saw someone outside the evans' house the night that he and his wife were killed. now, could this be the man? -it was dark. and, like i told the sheriff's detectives, you know, he had a jacket on with the hood pulled up. but... yeah, that looks like him. thank you. uh, that guy, have you arrested him yet? -guys, what about me and my family? are we gonna be a target now? who are you? why're you going through charlie's stuff? i happen to be professor lawrence fleinhardt, holder of the walter t. merrick chair in theoretical physics. -oh, yeah? can you prove it? yes, if you'd care to hear a lecture on the photoelectric properties of ly-alpha emitters in a qz2 plane universe. i-i have no idea what just happened. but why are you going through charlie's stuff? -because, my young friend, i think i have a green lantern book in here somewhere. green lantern! in brightest day, in blackest night... no evil shall escape my sight. sight! -i love the lant. oh. yeah. yeah. charlie and i, we're, uh, we're investigating a little fbi case. -shh. keep it on the d.l. oh, wait, so you must be the consultant, uh, who specializes in, well, let's call them unusual explanations. i think the bureau refers to me as "the conspiracy nut." some of the history's greatest minds have been rejected by society at large. -whoa, you're one of us! well, actually, i prefer the term "conspiracist." i drop the word "nut" altogether. for example, i don't put too much stock in cryptozoology. oh, well, you should take a look at my, uh, bigfoot web site sometime. -you'll be singing a whole different tune. it's the same old lyric: silly men dressed up in gorilla suits. oh, charlie! hey, good timing. oh, i got something important to show you. -why don't you, uh, step into my office? your office. i was just kidding with you. so, i took a look at your whole three-area idea, and i think i might have identified a victim zero. high school girl murdered in 1988. -nancy kershaw, 17. found in a wooded area near a public park. what's your criteria for identifying her as a victim zero? my cr... for identifying... i love your hair, by the way. -i took the earliest of the three areas you identified... stockton... and i, uh, looked for previous murders. if i may, you know, not all the people murdered in that area can be linked to a cluster. this guy... he's good. -i got a copy of the m.e.'s report. check it out. constrictor knot. but that's not unique to all these cases. if she is victim zero, serial killers will often start with somebody that they know or live close to. -it's true. nancy kershaw had a boyfriend. a week after she was killed, somebody claiming to be the murderer called him up, threatened to kill him, too. i'm good. guys, i should be doing this for a living. -gene evans' disgruntled client mark horn used a credit card at a gas station three miles from the evans' house on the night of the murders. might not be good for charlie's serial theory. but it's good for solving evans' murder case. mark horn. i didn't do anything wrong! -you got no reason to arrest me! oh, yeah? well, i guess we have a difference of opinion. come on. i was watching my daughter. -you aren't allowed around your daughter without her mother's permission. she is my daughter! damn it. why'd you lose custody? my wife didn't understand that i have to fight for what is mine. -gene evans. he had a restraining order out against you. you violated it. yeah, i wound up in a county jail when i am the victim! i am not the one they should be locking up. -who is? gene evans. evans is dead. you went to his house the night he was killed. i only drove by. -evans got that restraining order out against you because you broke into his home. i needed his records. i didn't kill him! i needed him. help me make the case with the irs. -charlie's not here. i know. he's in his office running another statistical analysis on his serial killer data. he can be pretty obsessive. you can never get through to him when he gets like this. -the only way is to find a flaw in his analysis, you know, prove he's not following a valid line. i went over his work looking for errors. i think there's a good reason for charlie to be obsessed. all right, why don't you talk me through it then? mark horn threatened gene evans, broke into his home. -we can place him in the vicinity of the murder. can you link him to any of the other deaths? no, he was out of the country for one cluster, in another state for another one. i just looked at those interrogation tapes. there's no way that's the guy. -based on what? based on the fact that he was arrested for harassing evans. i mean, if he's gonna kill him, he knows were gonna come after him. right, but horn didn't try to leave the area or conceal his whereabouts. well, amita showed me this work she's doing on your timeline, and it answered some questions. -you say he's careful. he plans his attacks. he scouts his victims. so why kill evans without the usual interval? for the same reason he kills this guy: -'cause he's careful. the killer didn't know that this postal carrier would be running three hours late. which means that the mailman saw the killer at the house of the last murder. okay, so he kills the mailman as a witness, but why evans? why? -because two days before he dies, he goes online, said he's gonna start up with his detective work again. and the killer decided to stop him. so the micro-clusters happen when the killer covers his tracks. we don't have any hard evidence. it's all circumstantial. -and statistics. and the pattern, which indicates another attack within the next 48 hours. i say we move now. look, i'll take responsibility. okay, you all heard the man on desk duty. -let's get to it. the one important constant, his careful stalking of his potential victims, sometimes for weeks. there are often police reports of prowlers and peeping toms prior to the killings. and yet you say he's careful? i think he likes to spook his victims, let them catch glimpses of him. -and even if they call the police... prowler reports aren't taken as serious threats. well, if he's gonna kill again, maybe there'll be new prowler reports and attempted break-ins. in i.a. alone, there have to be hundreds a week. the most likely target is a couple in their mid-30s within an area of elevated geographic probabilities. -single-family residence, no locked gates, no alarm systems. a place to conceal a vehicle, access to a major roadway. that gives us a starting point. in your analysis, you, uh, you left out victim zero. well, that's because i don't think that there's enough to link nancy kershaw to the clusters. -see, i kinda have to agree with roy here. i share his interest in this victim zero. see? you see that? physics guy thinks there's something to my idea. -well, now just consider, charles, you don't include nancy kershaw because she doesn't seem to fit your pattern. but is that really a reason to exclude data? do you think her death tells us something? well, you know when we look at the light from distant stars, we look at the past, millions, maybe billions of years ago. that's how long it took that light to reach the earth. -and yet, the undisputed 1862 ufo sighting during the battle of vicksburg proves that extraterrestrials have mastered superluminal velocity. just returning to the point here, if nancy kershaw is the first victim, that tells us things about the killer that he was very careful to hide in subsequent crimes. she was in his orbit, so to speak. right, right. and remember, if our guy did kill her, then he's the same guy who called up the boyfriend and threatened to kill him, too. -so somebody out there has heard his voice. all right, find out what you can from the conspiracy community, and i'll get the fbi on it. thank you, astrology dude. astronomy. astronomy. -thanks. you remember what gene evans told charlie? that he shared his research on serial killers with a detective in bakersfield? yeah? name's brent driscoll, and guess what. -he died last year. how? they said he fell, hit his head, and wound up drowned in his backyard pool. doesn't that seem just a bit suspicious to you? bakersfield pd look into it? -well, sure, but they didn't know there was a killer who eliminates investigators and witnesses. we need driscoll's files. i'm driving up tomorrow. what do you have there? it's a home improvement project -i'm hope you both will help me out with. i told you i would. all right. so, front and backyard landscaping. take a look. -you're asking him about it? what about me? i own this house. oh, yeah, like you care what hedges he puts out there. point made. -how you doing there? david's got half the office trying to id potential victims by running down prowler reports. hey, you guys remember the first time, huh? that first serial case? remember? -it was right here in this room. you figured it out together. remember? it was like a lifetime ago. five years. -yeah, it was right before that you had grown so far apart that i was the only thing you had in common. i figured after i died, you might spend years without seeing each other, but to tell you the truth, i'm not worried about that anymore. hey, charlie, you got something new? no, i've got something old. -i was talking with don and my dad about a previous serial case we worked on, and it reminded me of this. so i analyzed these three clusters, and it gave me these three probable locations for the killer. that's the hot zone equation. the very same. now how does this work? -well, think of it like a... can, uh, can i do this? it's like a lawn sprinkler spreading hundreds of drops of water. now, it's impossible to predict where the next drop will fall, but if you took away the sprinkler, from the pattern of drops you could calculate its location. you're saying that we can find out where the killer lives? -yeah. we know that he's either lived in or is linked to these three areas. you run a comparative analysis against the prowler reports we got? oh, i love it when a student grasps the full potential of an application. top 30 potential victims, -id'd from police reports, geographic areas, victim profiles. the numbers represent the probability of their being the next victim. the best we can get is 23%? in the world of statistical analysis, 23% means... uh, can i do this one? -it means get your ass in gear. come on, guys. dinner's ready. so, he tends to attack couples, right? and also teenagers. -some with their parents asleep in the same house. we got people at the 30 residences that charlie thinks are the most likely targets. yeah, maybe we'll get lucky, so to speak. hey, what's that movie with al pacino... he's a cop, and he ends up sleeping with ellen barkin, and then it turns out that her ex-husband was the killer? sea of love. -no, that wasn't it. yeah, it is. seen it, like, five times. you're a big pacino fan? no. -michael rooker fan. he was henry in henry: portrait of a serial killer. oh, yeah, that guy. that guy's always the killer. -no, he's not. you ever seen the replacement killers? he was the cop. hey, look at that. fbi. -get down! on your knees! okay, don't shoot me! what the hell's going on? we're fbi. -leonard, is that you? you know him? leonard philber. friend of my daughter's. what are you doing here? -i was just gonna tp the tree, man! fbi! kill your light. kill your light. did you see him? -no. he had a car hidden nearby. he ditched it. continued on foot or had a second car somewhere. he had an escape route planned out in advance. -he knew exactly where he was going. everyone all right? everyone's fine. all right. i'll get back to you. -well, it was the right place, buddy, but he's gone. damn it. he plans ahead. he knew how to get away. listen, i'm worried that we've presented ourselves with an even bigger problem here. -what do you mean? this guy's moved three times. now that he was almost caught, he's going to relocate again. so, the killer started in northern california, moved south, and now he's here in i.a. like three points of gravitational force, the killer residing somewhere in them, unseen, exerting his destructive influence like a black hole. -yeah. we need to narrow each hot zone down and profile all the men in them and look for a common link. that's a lot of legwork. all right. i'll get census lists and social security records. -we can start cross-checking. i found something in the driscoll files. now, driscoll's the detective who worked with gene evans, and he supposedly drowned in a pool last year. he interviewed a man as a suspect in a murder in bakersfield. robert posdner... the guy who claimed he saw gene evans' killer. -he was a witness in the murder here. he was also a suspect in a bakersfield murder. even i have to ask, what are the odds? bakersfield files id him as wayne potvin. he's one of 19 suspects in the murder of a married couple. -now, driscoll questioned him, did a background check. he came up clean. it was a fake id. all right, we got more. we id'd about 250 men with ties to three geographic areas. -ran their dmv photos through facial recognition. got four hits. thomas park, david palmer, william potvin, and robert posdner. it's the same guy. -we got our killer. we still can't tie him through hard evidence to even one murder. well, we can at least get him for faking his identity. that's not enough. we need to put this guy away for serial murder. -what's next? you tell me, boss. right, okay. um...we-we put him under surveillance and we try to see if we can get enough for a search warrant. sounds good. -follow two to follow one. eagle has landed. follow one to follow two. you've been made. don't burn the target. -copy, follow one. breaking away. it's just weird knowing who the killer is and not being able to prove it. yeah. it's not unlike that period between forming a theory and then finding the proof that supports it. -well, most theories don't relocate, switch identities, and resume killing people. no, not that we know of. you realize, charlie, at some point, you're going to have to focus on work here. you need help with your particle analysis? no, no, no. -i'm not talking about me. i'm talking about you. your potential. solving crimes is important, but discovering the hidden mathematical structures within brain operations... guys! -i got something. you all right? uh-huh. yeah, i'm good. my heart hurts, but i just ran from the parking lot. -what's that, like, 200 feet? here's the thing. so, i was looking at the whole, uh, victim zero case, right? the high school girl? -there was a fellow student who was expelled from the same school the year before. he was a suspect. thomas park. thomas park? that's one of the identities the fbi suspect used. -bingo! this is so zodiac. frickin' awesome. look at this. i got goose bumps. -and it continues down my spine. thomas park was 18 at the time of nancy kershaw's murder. they knew each other and it says here that he was a suspect because he kept asking her out and hanging around her house. stalking her. -nancy kershaw's boyfriend, steve savard... now, he got to the house when the killer was still there. he chased him away. now, one week later, he was nearly killed in a car accident. someone cut his brake line. -couple of days after kershaw's murder, her boyfriend received a threatening phone call from somebody claiming to be the killer. steve savard heard the killer's voice. all right. do we know where he is now? well, after the murder, his family got scared. -they moved from stockton to nevada. are they still out of state? 'cause we need to find him right now. uh, i did. i used some of my contacts to track him down. -his flight should have landed an hour ago. are you kidding me? huh? are you kidding me? he's a little angry. -you know, i just figured time was sensitive, right? so, i took the liberty of... of impersonating an fbi agent? i didn't tell anyone i was... i can't help what people assume. -i went to work that day, like any other day. i went to work that day, like any other day. amita's designed an algorithm that captures robert posdner's voice from his bakersfield interview. ah. -when he was interviewed as a possible suspect? yes, and she's mathematically reconstructed it to have the same tone and timbre as his voice might have had at age 18. we have some recordings we want you to listen to, okay? amita, we're ready. i went to work that day, like any other day. -i went to work that day, like any other day. i went to work that day, like any other day. that one. there' s one more. i went to work that day, like any other day. -no. no, not that one... the one before it. that was the closest. closest? -or the same guy that threatened you 20 years ago? well, you-you altered it, right? 'cause now he's an adult. you tried to make it sound like a teenager. can i hear the recording the way it is? -amita, play #3 straight. i went to work that day, like any other day. that's him. he said he killed nancy... and he was going to kill me. you're sure? -he murdered the girl i loved. nearly killed me. my family moved to another state. everything changed. there's not a week that goes by -i don't wake up from a dead sleep and hear that voice. yeah... i'm sure. robert posdner. fbi. -let me see your hands. it's agent sinclair, right? robert? what's happening? it's okay, honey. -they're federal agents. look at her. poor thing has no idea. it'll be a total shock. honey, it's almost time to pick up the kids, isn't it? -nobody knew about me. i liked it that way. some serial killers, you know, they write to the newspapers or they taunt the police. i never drew attention to myself. i just wanted to go about the things i needed to do. -you know, most serial killers they can't control themselves. they're too damaged. they aren't careful. you need to plan if you're doing it right. you know, people who know me, they'll all say they never suspected anything. -well, i made sure they didn't. that's my favorite part. took you guys a long, long time to find me, didn't it? i know there are reasons, psychological motivations for why sociopaths become serial killers. but this guy... -he just seems evil. you really weren't expecting a rational explanation, were you? i mean, with these guys, you know, no matter how smart and focused they appear to be, it always comes down to an irrational rage. and in the end, it's rationality that caught him. rationality and logic. -that and a little obsession. your brother gets stabbed, and you react by catching a serial killer. you got a hell of a way of working through things. some people drink. some gamble. -i analyze data. so charlie, how about tomorrow, we unpack your office and get you set up in your new, prestigious space? yes, and locate several books of mine i think got left in your stuff. all right. -i'm ready. what about you, donnie? hmm? you going to be hanging out with me for the next couple of weeks? sorry, pal. -i'm back to full duty monday. ooh, there's a quick recovery. so, why don't you try to put some time between injuries, huh? trust me. i plan to take it easy. -yeah, right. so,you working on a little era credit? it's kind of a thought exercise. about two dozen unsolved murders. i mean,it looks pretty real to me. -ever since don got hurt,i can't stop thinking every violent act is, to some degree,explicable. you got a lot of different m.o.s here,different victim types: men,women,children; shot,stabbed,strangled,bludgeoned. three of these are pedestrian hit-and-runs. -but there is a timeline pattern. you found a pattern in all this? yep. by using some of the same mathematical concepts that lk for signs of intelligent life in our universe. ah,yeah,of course. -it's not as "out there" as it seems. the universe creates an endless background of electromagnetic static. seti-- the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence-- uses algorithms to sift through all this random cosmic noise to find a signal that is complex yet repetitive, a non-natural pattern created by an intelligence. i've adapted the signal detection algorithm to analyze the pattern,and i got... this spatio-temporal visualization model. its sequence is half lunar. -it's indicative of a recurring emotional need, buffered by planning and survllance. okay,but if the m.o.s and the victims are all different? he's a different type of serial killer. all right. he's working on a theory. -serial killer nobody's noticed but him. how does he figure? signals from deep space. seems a little outside the box even for charlie. yeah,thing is,a few years ago,don got shot at a bank robbery that charlie had predicted. -he retreated to his garage, and he buried himself in an unsolvable math problem. he's been in here 24/7 the past five days. you know,there's a symptom of post traumatic stress disorder called hypervigilance. means you're always looking out for potential danger and threats,thinking you see it. and 's not really there. -trying to scare me to death. what are you doing at the fbi till 3:00 in the morning? nothing. nothing,huh? you're working some serial case. -david told me. he thinks i'm overreacting? charlie,hey,this isn't your fault. i know that. well,you got to move on. -since when have you ever moved on? since i got stabbed. sooner or later,we're both gonna have to learn we can't solve every problem. hey! call 911! -numbers season 05 episode 01 ah,betancourt,thanks for coming. yeah,no problem,jj. whatcha got? postal worker halfway through his rounds popped in the head,small-caliber,close-range. -and what's he doing in the alley? a resident says he uses the alleyway as a shortcut. maybe somebody knew his routine but your guy's working on that angle. my guy? -yeah,the professor. he's yours,isn't he? yeah. yeah,he's ours. well,the pattern isn't perfect. -i mean,there are micro-clusters that are currently anomalous. but the overall pattern is extraordinarily regular,which is indicative... how many murders in a micro-cluster? two. mostly. -sometimes three. that's very micro. david,those are outliers. the macro-pattern is persistent,statistically valid. charlie,we both started here on the same case five years ago.okay? -you know i'm a believer in what you do. and i'm asking for a lot. working your theory would take hundreds of man-hours. everybody's already busy on confirmed crimes; if i tried to reassign agents to work a serial case that had no serial elements, outside of a timeline pattern discovered by a mathematician,i mean,i'd get fired. -this is what he's counting on. excuse me? he knows serial killers get caught because of patterns, telltale traits,compulsive behavior, so he switches his m.o.s,his weapons,victim types on purpose. no repetitive behavior means no pattern. no reason to expend law enforcement resources to find one. -all right,what do you want me to do,charlie? seti telescopes-- always gathering data. i need more data. i'll take anything you can give me. okay,all right. -there's a lot of amateur work being done for serial killer data, and some of it is surprisingly comprehensive. amateur work. yeah. there's a guy we worked with on a recent case. you should meet him. -good afternoon. hah? hi. i'm... oh! -professor! welcome. roy mcgill. oh,welcome! hi. -such a pleasure. hey,would you mind locking up? thanks,buddy. certainly. please forgive the,uh,concrete decor. -nature of my work requires an enhanced level of security. welcome to the truth cave. you like it? pretty cool,right? pretty cool. -you hungry? i'm fine. okay. oh! you got to hear this. -heads up. watch this. wait for it. wait for it. this'll be good. -you know what that is? 'course you don't. that's a sound recording of a ufo from a russian friend of mine. teeger woods. like tiger woods,or not.huh? -art bell's gonna run it on his show tonight. actually,i'm,um,i'm just here to talk to you about... serial killer,right? you know how i knew that? i have esp. -i don't have esp. i'm totally messing with you. agent sinclair told me. oh! freakin' awesome,man! -i always knew you and i were gonna team up. i always knew it. i'm really just here to collect some data... i'm a little surprised it took the fbi so long. i mean,i've only got the sixth most popular blog on serial killers. -oh. do you want this seat? i'm fine. oh,so am i. it's pretty comfortable. -hey,look at this. so,i found two murders that fit into your i tried to find things that fit into the,spatio-tempura that agent sinclair sent me. by the look of it,i didn't do a good job. i was really hoping to find more data than this. not a problem. -not... a... problem. and we're off! where are we going? serial killer data central. yeah! -gene evans.it's a pleasure. you guys should have,like,some sort of,like, you know,crazy,math handshake. gene's into numbers,too. gene's an accountant. mm,retired. -uh,and,tabulating taxes hardly qualifies as math the way professor eppes knows it. gene is part of a network-- amateurs who help with police investigations. the number of missing persons and unsolved murders can overwhelm most agencies, so there's hundreds of us around the country,and we... gather and tabulate data as much as we can. gene solved four missing person cases in california and a murder case in oregon. well,"assisted" would be closer to the truth. -but the fact is,i stopped. couple of years ago,i got a bunch of phone calls, probably just cranks,but it spooked the wife. well,any information you can provide would be much appreciated here,gene. when roy described your theory... something came to mind. these aren't i.a.-area cases. -they're all from up near fresno and bakersfield. and several years ago. yeah,but... the time patterns,the knowledge of the victims' routines, uh,very similar. and-and then there's this. that's a constrictor knot. -simple and secure, but once you get it tight,it's very difficult to untie. same knot was used in five of the cases you're looking into. whoa. freaky. have you shown any of this to the police? -yes. a detective up in bakersfield. brent driscoll. charlie,you're living and working out of boxes now. you've become a previous incarnation of me. -what's taking you so long? do you need some help? i'm too busy. i need to find the missing pieces here. make one mistake,people get hurt. -cognitive emergence work. god,you haven't even touched this since don's injury. have you ever considered this might be an overreaction? my theory's correct. if you want to say that this is a reaction to don's situation, go ahead. -no,i mean,come on,you're an applied mathematician. you're applying math to a problem. and there's something to be said for cathartic endeavors. well,let's say,for hypothetical reasons, that i'm not crazy, that my timeline pattern is correct. let's say that there is a serial killer who has avoided detection. -why the anomalies in the timeline? why the micro-clusters? what am i missing? well,whatever is missing lies beyond all of this. you seek to quantify a single individual in some elegant,mathematical pattern. -but the universe is full of all these odd bumps and twists. and so are people. now,perhaps your approach needs to be less elegant,more complicated. haven't we had this conversation before? well,now,cosmologically speaking, everything that happens has happened before. -can i help you find something? yeah,i think i left something in here,some files. for your serial killer case? it's an office; people talk. so everyone thinks i'm crazy. -you know about kim rossmo? canadian detective,mathematician. his work on geographic profiling was,was groundbreaking. rossmo identified the same type of serial killer as you're looking for-- one that deliberately hides any signs of a criminal pattern. he called them stealth predators. -they try to commit crimes in such a way that authorities aren't even aware of it. really? in vancouver,he did something a lot like what you're doing-- working only off of a pattern. the police didn't believe his theory that a cluster of disappearances was the work of a single killer. so they fire rossmo. -ten more deaths later, they realize that he's right. so they caught the killer with 31 bodies buried on his property. i'd love to see rossmo's methodology. had a feeling you might be interested. thanks,matt. -you're in my spot here. i fell asleep. i just had the worst dream. i wonder why. what are you doing here? -i like it here. i don't know what it is,you know? i been shot. i been beaten. how many sports did i play as a kid? -and i-i've never been laid up like this. you got stabbed. how can you be so calm about it? well,i mean,i survived,for one thing. who are you? -what have you done with my brother? i don't know,charlie. all i can tell you is i feel like job just doesn't o me anymore. yeah? well,that's got to be the meds talking. -where you going? i might as well work. i don't want to have another dream like that one. charles? hey. -um,is everything okay? my search for a non-random signal has revealed not only an intelligence, but an extremely careful and shrewd intelligence. it's not one area; it's three. he moves. what,the serial killer? -yeah. it became apparent when i combined gene evans' data with kim rossmo's methodology that this killer is a stealth predator. he knows that too many murders in one area gets attention, and so he moves. terrific. -a super-smart killer. who's struck three times in 18 years, starting in northern california, and then the fresno-bakersfield area, and now he's here. it's good to see you. bye. you do realize 7:00 is an inhuman hour to be calling somebody. -we're very close,roy. i just need a little more data, and i'm thinking gene's gonna have it. oh,man,this is gonna blow the doors off the zodiac,bundy,the red ripper. gene? martha? -hello? let's check the garage. well,car's still here. oh,my god. oh,my god. -gene evans and his wife don't fit the macro-pattern. they fit the pattern of micro-clusters. what interests me is that evans collected data on the killings. police interviewed a witness who was driving by the evans' house near the time of the killing. this is the description he gave of a man he saw walking across their front yard. -uh,david,sheriff's homicide's asking if we'reorking the evans murder with them. tell them we're looking at it for a possible link to an fbi case. okay. do i tell them we suspect a serial? no. -not yet. first,we need to see if anybody had an ordinary motive for killing gene evans. want to be sure. my brother gene and his wife martha were good people. what happened to them is wrong. -is there anyone who would want to hurt them? i thought you knew about that already. former client said gene me a mistake on his taxes,cost him his life savings. he threatened my brother. they had to t a restraining order. -there's police reports and everything. the guy's a nut. what's this guy's name? mark horn. he said you saw someone outside the evans' house the night that he and his wife were killed. -now,could this be the man? it was dark. and,like i told the sheriff's detectives,you know, he had a jacket on with the hood pulled up. but... yeah,that looks like him. thank you. -uh,that guy,have you arrested him yet? guys,what about me and my family? are we gonna be a target now? who are you? why you going through charlie's stuff? -i happen to be professor lawrence fleinrdt, holder of the walter t. merrick chair in theoretical physics. oh,yeah? can you prove it? yes,if you'd care to hear a lecture on the photoelectric properties of ly-alpha emitters in a qz2 plane universe. i-i have no idea what just happened. -but why are you going through charlie's stuff? because,my young friend,i think i have a green lantern book in here somewhere. green lantern! in brightest day,in blackest night... no evil shall escape my sight. -sight! i love the lant. oh. yeah. yeah. -charlie and i,we're,uh, we're investigating a little fbi case. shh. keep it on the d.l. oh,wait,so you must be the consultant,uh,who specializein, well,let's call them unusual explanations. i think the bureau refers to me as "the conspiracy nut." -some of the history's greatest minds have been rejected by society at large. whoa,you're one of us! well,actually,i prefer the term "conspiracist." i drop the word "nut" altogether. for example,i don't put too much stock in cryptozoology. -oh,well,you should take a look at my,uh,bigfoot web site sometime. you'll be singing a whole different tune. it's the same old lyric: silly men dressed up in gorilla suits. oh,charlie! hey,good timing. -oh,i got something important to show you. why don't you,uh,step into my office. your office. i was just kidding with you. so,i took a look at your whole three-area idea, and i think i might have identified a victim zero. -high school girl murdered in 1988. nancy kershaw,17. found in a wooded area near a public park. what's your criteria for identifying her as a victim zero? my cr-- for identifying... -i love your hair,by the way. i took the earliest of the three areas you identified-- stockton-- and i,uh,looked for previous murders. if i may,you know,not all people murdered in that area can be linked to a cluster. this guy-- he's good. -i got a copy of the m.e.'s report. check it out. constrictor knot. but that's not unique to all these cases. if she is victim zero, serial killers will often start with somebody that they know or live close to. -it's true. nancy kershaw had a boyfriend. a week after she was killed, somebody claiming to be the murderer called him up, threatened to kill him,too. i'm good. guys,i should be doing this for a living. -gene evans' disgruntled client mark horn used a credit card at a gas station three miles from the evans' house on the night of the murders. might not be good for charlie's serial theory. but it's good for solving evans' murder case. mark horn. i didn't do anything wrong! -you got no reason to arrest me! oh,yeah? well,i guess we have a difference of opinion. come on. i was watching my daughter. -you aren't allowed around your daughter without her mother's permission. she is my daughter! damn it. why'd you lose custody? my wife didn't understand that i have to fight for what is mine. -gene evans. he had a restraining order out against you. you violated it. yeah,i wound up in a county jail when i am the victim! i am not the one they should be locking up. -who is? gene evans. evans is dead. you went to his house the night he was killed. i only drove by. -evans got that restraining order out against you because you broke into his home. i needed his records. i didn't kill him! i needed him. help me make the case with the irs. -charlie's not here. i know. he's in his office running another statistical analysis on his serial killer data. he can be pretty obsessive. you can never get through to him when he gets like this. -the only way is to find a flaw in his analysis, you know,prove he's not following a valid line. i went over his work looking for errors. i think there's a good reason for charlie to be obsessed. all right,why don't you talk me through it then? mark horn threatened gene evans,broke into his home. -we can pla him in the vicinity of the murder. can you link him to any of the other deaths? no,he was out of the country for one cluster, in another state for another one. i just looked at those interrogation tapes. there's no way that's the guy. -based on what? based on the fact that he was arrested for harassing evans. i mean,if he's gonna kill him, he's knows were gonna come after him. right,but horn didn't try to leave the area or conceal his whereabouts. well,amita showed me this work she's doing on your timeline, and it answered some questions. -you say he's careful. he plans his attacks. he scouts his victims. so why kill evans without the usual interval? for the same reason he kills this guy: -'cause he's careful. the killer didn't know that this postal crier would be running three hours late. which means that the mailman saw the killer at the house of the last murder. okay,so he kills the mailman as a witness,but why evans? why? -because two days before he dies,he goes online, said he's gonna start up with his detective work again. and the killer decided to stop him. so the micro-clusters happen when the killer covers his tracks. we don't have hard evidence. it's all circumstantial. -and statistics. and the pattern,which indicates another attack within the next 48 hours. i say we move now. i'll take responsibility. okay,you all heard the man on desk duty. -let's get to it. the one important constant, his careful stalking of potential victims, sometimes for weeks. there are often police reports of prowlers and peeping toms prior to the killings. and yet you say he's careful? i think he likes to spook his victims, let them catch glimpses of him. -and even if they call the police... prowler reports aren't taken as serious threats. well,if he's gonna kill again, maybe there'll be new prowler reports and attempted break-ins. in i.a. alone,here have to be hundreds a week. the most likely target is a couple in their mid-30s within an area of elevated geographic probabilities. -single-family residence,no locked gates, no alarm systems. a place to conceal a vehicle,access to a major roadway. that gives us a starting point. in your analysis,you,uh,you left out victim zero. well,that's because i don't think that there's enough to link nancy kershaw to the clusters. -see,i kinda have to agree with roy here. i share his interest in this victim zero. see? you see that? physics guy thinks there's something to my idea. -well,now just consider,charles, you don't include nancy kershaw because she doesn't seem to fit your pattern. but is that really a reason to exclude data? do you think her death tells us something? you wanna go get a drink? or five? -i've seen you with a whisky bottle. jones was just transferred to boston general,so... i have a few questions for him. it's my last chance. yeah. -so in all the excitement of today, i forgot to say something. i haven't overlooked the fact that you actually created a teleportation machine. well... i suppose i did. -which,despite the fact that using it kills you, is... pretty damn cool. kills you? it does something unthinkable,but... it doesn't kill you. hello. agent dunham? -nina sharp. hand's back to normal. well,good for you. i was curious about that question you asked. whether there were other places where cortexiphan was tested. -yes? there was,it turns out, a second clinical trial. though much smaller than the one in ohio. there was? yes,in jacksonville,florida. -at a military base. agent dunham? thank you very much for calling. you're most welcome. have a good night. -in association with city of belgrade ministry of culture and republic of serbia ministry of culture miroslav momcilovic movie wait for me and i will not return this is aleck. i won't be able to call you back any more. -aleck if you still haven't hung yourself, stop by the river. my father has died, man. there's no one of your friends... fuck, they are all in deep sheet... don't swore. -may god rest his soul. well, our dear djole... this sad day has arrived day that waits for all of us, our dear djole... and you loved living so much, and you loved bars so much women...woman, i mean... to eat, to drink, as well to smoke... -who told this fool to come? i have no idea. you lived your life by full lounges and lounges coasted you life. didn't i ask you didn't i beg you to leave smokes... didn't i smoke 3 packs by day and i gave up that shit? -! you left me playing remi with those fools and listening nonsense like: it's better to hold two jockers in hand than mate when you can. you're gone... ...our dear djole to smoke by my left side and me...that smoke goes straightly to my... i don't know... -maybe it's better this way... at least he won't suffer any more. what's worse than lost? when you realize that you're all alone. the feeling of complete loneliness. -it's not right, my father died, you know? oh, forgive me bane, forgive me please. i didn't even pay my condolences to you... do you see what this bitch made of me? ! -let's drink for uncle djole. he left me this little one to take care of. he's really cute. the hardest thing is about my mother. there's no women like her any more. -gentleman artists... a new brand is in front of you! a new detergent! i will add modestly... i was the one that came up with the name...it slipped my mind in moments of my positive madness... rosebud! -nice english word. and completely unexploatated. bud, new life, something new... so what i expect from you is lot of colors, lot of lifestyle... ms., miss. -theodora... miss... this word is light motive of the most known world movie. and i really expect some kind of nostalgia. and what i expect from you is not to interrupt me when i speak with all due respect for all of your ten movies... -i can commend that i was project manager... on more than 50 projects. so i know what i'm talking about very well ... thank you so, tomorrow, same time, i expect from you a lot of good ideas, a lot of positive energy! tell me, did diana called you? -diana who? the one with spots! who's that? she's organizing 15 years from prom. i just don't give a fuck about 15 years from prom. -you can't be like this. we should go there, see old friends... common, the world didn't stop just cause theodora left you. what now?

she'd like to sit in it. preferably behind the wheel. i mean, if you give me the keys, -i could help mom and i could take bridgette and marie to school and go to the market, and... ooh, that would be great. okay, you gave me something to think about while i'm in san diego, so, yeah, i'll think about that. maybe next week, huh?

yes. no. -i would. well, i have a waiting room full of patients out there, folks. i mean, you two aren't married, are you? so i really, i have to defer to the mother. and you should defer to the mother. -i'll just wait out in the hall. lee, don't. i won't. and if you're one of those lucky commuters sitting in the middle of bell road and getting nowhere fast, you can thank two bank robbers who hit a maricopa national branch today wearing hockey masks and brandishing shotguns. i mean if you're not responding to a bank robbery, what are you doing? -ruth boddicker, right? ruth? i think i know who you are. you're allison dubois, right? you're very perceptive. -no. um, just a bit of a news junkie. oh, actually, i think you're more perceptive than you let on. ruth, i had a dream about you last night. me? -in fact, my dream was about a dream you had. about this bank, about this robbery. do you have any idea what i'm talking about? no, not really. really? -so you didn't dream about all this? try to warn your boss that this robbery was going to happen? ruth, i know you've been through an awful lot today. all kinds of people asking you all kinds of questions-- but i have a funny feeling that you know exactly what i'm talking about. i also have a funny feeling that as time goes on, you're going to really want someone to talk to. -here's my cell number. give me a call. honey, i'm home. so what's it like? well, i can hear the ocean. -i can't see it, though. all i can see is the parking lot. and that's 'cause there's a light out there. i got off the plane, i went right to work. by the time i got here, it was dark, so i could be anywhere. -you're very missed. i very miss you. well, you're very missed back. hey, honey, say hi to daddy. hi, dad. -and how did my car survive its first full day with a 16-year-old behind the wheel? should i tell daddy about the accident? mom! he knows i'm kidding. you're kidding, right? -top story "psychic" predicted bank robbery honey, honey, say hi to daddy. ...ruth boddicker, a long-time employee of maricopa national bank actually predicted this morning's daring bank heist. according to the bank's manager, boddicker repeatedly warned that the robber was imminent. is it true you predicted today's robbery? -i really don't have anything to say. i just want to get to my car. hello? is anyone there? god, poor woman. -i know exactly how she feels. allison? we made the tv news. that's nice. you know what they said? -hopefully we got away clean and they have no idea who we are. they did-- they said that. then they said we got away with 300 grand. 300 grand? that's insane. -there's a little over $32,000 here. you want to look again? what are you doing? see, i was responsible for checking the door and watching the security guard. you were responsible for taking care of the cash. -i want to see the other $270,000. i-i don't have it to show you. according to the news, you do. the news-- they're wrong. look, maybe they put, like, an extra zero on it or added a comma or something. -what? will you...? you want left or right, hmm? it's your choice. quit messing around. -you're crazy. stop. don't do this. just take mine if you want. don't! -joe. joe? it's not joe. it's ruth. ruth from the bank. -ruth. i saw you on tv last night. what time is it? it's, uh, a little after 6:00. i'm sorry to bother you, but i needed to tell you. -everything you said to me at the bank yesterday? it's true. i do have dreams. i did dream about that robbery. and i had another dream tonight. -really? me, too. just now. then you saw it? the one robber killed the other? -dumped his body in the park? what? no, no, no. my dream didn't go that far. oh, allison. -it was horrible. i kept hoping it wasn't true. did you... did you see any landmarks, maybe the name of the park? i could send the police there to look for the body. you don't have to. -i already found it. in fact, i'm standing over it right now. mommy had to go to work early, so i am driving you guys to school. cool. i'm riding shotgun. -what's shotgun? it's nothing. it's the, uh... empty seat beside the driver that's going to stay empty because mom and dad say that you guys have to be at least 12 years old to sit up there. so? so, that means that you can't sit up there. -wow, who died and made you queen of car-ville? i've never been through anything like this before. all this blood. all this gore. i had that dream... and it was so vivid. -and i thought, "can this be true?" and i looked up hoskins park on the internet, and there was such a place. so i got in my car and i drove out here... and there he was. i've never seen a real, live dead person before. allison. -i take it this is the woman you told me about, the woman who lead us here? ruth boddicker. this is my boss, district attorney manuel devalos. it's a great pleasure to meet you, sir. -and you, miss boddicker. i read about you in the papers this morning. am i understanding correctly that both of you had dreams in which you saw the face of whoever it was who killed this man? well, then, not to take up any more of your time, but it would be extraordinarily helpful if i could get you together with a detective to give him a description. we could run our composite software and see if we could generate a sketch of the killer. -i guess i was hoping i would show you where the dead body was and then that would be that. miss boddicker, i can't force you to give me a description. i can certainly get one from mrs. dubois here, but when it comes to identifying criminals, the more input, the better. it would only take about 20 minutes. actually, you might find it fun. -all right, then. i suppose. wonderful, then. we'll see you at city hall. third floor, anytime this afternoon. -i guess it's a date. thank you. who'd have imagined? two psychics, no waiting. you want to get some breakfast? -okay. everybody in their car seats? everybody wearing their seatbelts? aye, aye, captain pushy. everyone's seated and strapped. -aye, aye, captain pushy. what? okay, you're supposed to be helping me. what do you want me to do? she's all buckled in. -hey, did you notice if i locked the sliding glass door in the kitchen? why? was i supposed to? okay, you know what? if we're late, i'm telling mom that it was your fault. -she thinks she's so great, just 'cause she can drive. yeah. well, i can drive, too, you know. remember the go-karts we went on last summer? no. -well, i do. it's easy. yeah, this is no big deal at all. watch. first thing you do is you take this big stick thing. -that was easy. then you take this other stick thing and you pull it over to "n." that stands for "now." i don't see a stop button. make it stop! -oh, no, oh, no. this is bad. that was fun. lynn? i don't get it. -you asked me to meet you for lunch. you, uh, give me an address and it's a baby store. i asked if you wanted to meet at lunch, not for lunch. i have to start ordering some things. it could take three months to get this stuff delivered. -and i just felt funny picking everything without you. well, go ahead. pick it without me. i mean, what you like, i like. it's not like i'm going to be sleeping in it. -i know you care. i know deep down, you care about all of it. you're not fooling me. whatever you say. you want to hear the name i'm thinking about? -no. you tell me the name, i'm going to know the sex. lee. yeah? no, that's the name. -lee. lee, lee, lee. it works for a girl and it works for a boy. lee. don't do this. -but i love the name lee. i do. look, whatever you buy is fine. see you at home. do you exchange foreign money? -excuse me? you know, i got about 500 mexican pesos here, and i was just wondering if i could swap it for american money. sure. i can do that. all right. -hey. you tango? is it ruth? well, it's a small world. i just got back from mexico on a tango weekend. -i'm really a beginner. i take lessons. oh. that's my teacher. i dance over at the shirley karch studio on wednesday nights. -it's fun there. i mean, you meet people. maybe you should try it. well, i don't know if i'm ready for that. you look ready to me. -so... that comes to $32.33. all right. thank you. and i'll be looking for you at the shirley karch studios. -take it easy, ruth. yeah. come in. hi. hope i'm not interrupting anything. -just gave the detectives my description. of course. you were right. it was kind of fun. they said any time you were ready. -well, thank you. i'll be over soon. so, listen. i hope i didn't get you into any trouble this morning. excuse me? -uh, i know you're the big psychic around here, and then here i go finding the body and everything. i hope i didn't make you look bad. don't worry, ruth. you're just keeping me on my toes. okay, then. -guess if i have any more dreams, i'll just call you. well, i'll be waiting. oh! oh, ruth. the dead man. -jimmy... jimmy fleming. are you sure you've never met him before? i don't think so. maybe at the bank. -he might have mentioned a mutual interest in tango lessons? oh, my goodness. yes. of course i remember him now. but that would mean he was one of the men who robbed the bank. -pointed a gun at me. that nice man. did this just come to you? god, you're good at this. how come we didn't realize it sooner? -so many people come into the bank. oh, i'm so sorry. it's my daughter. don't worry. allison, i have your number. -if i have any more important dreams, i'll just call you. thank you. hello? hey, sweetie. everybody home safe and sound? -yeah. everyone's home from school. safe and sound. but bridgette has something that she wants to tell you. do you love me, mommy? -i'm sorry. i don't think i heard you correctly. i said something happened to your car. it's nothing major. it's just the back fender-- it's a little scrunched. -but the kids are okay. everybody's okay. nobody got hurt. and please don't get mad at ariel. it was actually bridgette who was behind the wheel when it happened. -how is that even possible? you know what... i don't want to talk about this. i'm exhausted from this whole thing. i finally got the girls to go to bed. -it's the bumper, the fender, whatever that thing is in the back. we'll get it fixed. where were you, uh, you know, when all this happened? what does that have to do with anything? what, now you're taking offense? -look, allison, you just told me that my car rolled backwards down the driveway with our 11-year-old daughter behind the wheel. and i don't have the right to ask where you were in relation to all this? well, i was a hell of a lot closer than you were. i was at work. yeah, i knew that. -your point being? hey, i don't know what the point is, allison. but this is not what i wanted to hear. i don't know what to tell you. turn on the radio. -so other than that, how is everything? come on. you can do this. just go in there, say hi. nothing's going to happen if you just sit here in your car. -uh-uh, ruth. life hands you lemons-- you go get a lemonade. or maybe a whiskey sour. to future business ventures. so... -i want to show you these. huh? you're serious. hockey masks? i'm telling you, it's like they were made for this kind of work. -it's a bank robbery, not a horror film. oh, lighten up, nobody can hear me. i even know which teller i'm going to hit. this little miss lonely hearts-- always making goo-goo eyes at me every time i come there. sir. -i think ruth boddicker's been lying to us. well, good morning to you, too. sir, i'm serious. i don't think she knew about that bank robbery 'cause she dreamt it. i think she knew about that bank robbery 'cause she was sweet on one of the robbers and she overheard it. -then how do you explain her ability to find that body yesterday? are you telling me she didn't dream that either? i don't know the answer to that, sir. not yet. i'll tell you what, why don't we ask her? -i called her and asked her if she could stop by on her way to work. and here she is now. ladies, i have a bit of a problem and i'd like to share it with you. yesterday you both sat down with detectives and gave descriptions of the man you believed was responsible for the killing of jimmy fleming-- one of the two men suspected in the robbery of the maricopa national bank. now based on the separate descriptions you gave, here are the composite sketches they've come up with. -well, that can't be. actually, it's perfect. that's exactly what he looks like. no, no, no. no, no. -i have to say something. ruth, you know this looks nothing like the man we're looking for. he looks like it to me. in my dream, he looks just like that. in your dream? -did you even have a dream? are you mad at me? what are you talking about? is this because i had a dream that led us to the body yesterday and you didn't? of course not. -ladies... because i would never do anything to knowingly upset you. but i can't lie. this is the man who killed the man we found in that park. he just is. -and-and this man? you don't recognize him at all? you've never seen him before? not in a bar talking with the man that we found dead yesterday? talking about robbing a bank? -listening while his partner bragged about you making goo-goo eyes at him? goo-goo eyes? you don't have to be cruel, mrs. dubois. i think i would remember if someone made a comment like that about me. in fact, i'm certain that i will always remember what you just said to me, here, now. -i have to get to work. may i go now? of course. don't rush off. i've been waiting for you to get up and come out here. -you're always asleep by the time i get home. you've been getting home so late. i figured that was the way you wanted it. here's the thing. i'm actually really excited about all of it-- you, the baby. -i am. i know it doesn't show. i know it's hard to tell. i think i'm scared i might not be very good at it. well, if it makes you feel any better, i'm terrified. -girls tried to stay up. i'm sorry i'm so late. it's not your fault the plane was late. oh, it's so good to be home. what is this? -it's from bridgette. she offered to skip going to college so she could get a job and pay for that dent in your jeep. she's half yours. hello. ruth boddicker. -speaking. just saw you on the news. so you knew we were coming, huh? may i ask who's calling please? we met earlier today at the bank. -i was wearing a hockey mask and carrying a big gun. where's the rest of my money, ruth? they said we got away with $300,000, but you and i both know it was $30,000. i have no idea what you're talking about. where's my money, ruth? -you safe in your house now? all alone? just you and my money? think again. i don't think mom's even up yet. -and that means that we can have whatever we want for breakfast. even candy? definitely candy. just who i've been waiting for. where's mom? -mom had to go somewhere very early this morning. so it's just you and me, kid. i'm going back to bed. why don't you come over here and have a seat. am i in big trouble? -pretty big. ruth, those men robbed the bank, but you kept most of the money, didn't you? that's why you gave us that phony description of the robber-- the one who killed his partner. 'cause he's the only other person who knows what you did. ruth, you knew the body was going to be in the park 'cause you brought it there. -no. i dreamt about that body. i dreamt about that robbery. and i don't know anything about any money. i'm sorry. -i can't talk with you anymore. my shift's about to begin. i really do hope you'll solve this case. can i help you? yeah, i wanted to pay a visit. -your name? last name first. scanlon, lee. and who do you wish to see? scanlon, lee. -senior. hey, pop, it's lee. you feeling all right? so, that girl i told you about... we're having a baby. and i will never hit it. -i know i got your stuff... your dna inside me. but i will never hit it. there. as soon as she starts putting the money into the bag the robbers gave her, she turns her back to the camera. okay? -well, she did that on purpose. she didn't want anyone to see her load the robbers' bag with the smaller bills while she put the bigger bills in hers. well, that's an interesting theory, allison, but i don't actually see it. well, i see it. allison, no judge is going to issue a warrant because someone being held at gunpoint just happens to turn their back to a security camera during a robbery. -sir, we have to get ahead of this guy. we have to confront ruth, get her to give that money back or this man's gonna kill her for it. you may very well be right, but, uh, this office isn't set up to protect one criminal from another. and if she is an innocent victim in all this, if he really is pursuing and threatening her, then she needs to come in this office and file a complaint. but until she does that... -anything else? i guess not. you bring it? $135,000. your half. -just like we agreed on. the same exact amount you would've had when you left the bank. yeah... now, tell me where the rest of it is. but we had a deal. -"had." yeah. i have it. it's with me. you broke into my house, i couldn't leave it there. um, it's in the trunk. -keys. all right. i don't see it. now, you give me your car keys. you can bite me, old lady. -you ain't gonna pull that trigger. i'll do it! keys! all right. is somebody actually at the door? -what the hell time is it? it's a little after 2:00. i took a killer's car, i took a killer's gun, and i took the money from the bank. help. -? i'm district attorney manuel devalos. i'm sorry to disturb you so early in the morning. you, uh, you look like you've had a rough night. yeah, i actually just got in. -had myself a rather long walk. what, um, what can i do for you? well, i'm here to inform you that you are officially a suspect in a robbery that took place several days ago at the maricopa national bank. really? truly. -in fact, i'm in possession of a warrant authorizing me to search your vehicle for stolen money and a possible murder weapon. my vehicle? well... looks like you're out of luck there, mr. district attorney. 'cause my vehicle was recently stolen. -are you certain about that, sir? because i do believe that this car in the driveway is, uh, registered in your name. by the way, you left the keys in the ignition. not a smart thing to do in this neighborhood. here's the search warrant i was telling you about. -okay. there's nothing in there. no, no, no, this is a setup. i didn't put that there. this is her. -she took... she... she took that money! she planted it in my car! she stole my car; she planted it in there! -i'm sorry, who are we talking about? the crazy lady from the news. th-the bank teller. the one that thinks she's a psychic. but she is psychic. -it was her dreams that led us here. she was the one who told me about the car in the driveway. she was the one who told me about the money in the trunk. and she's even the one who told me this is where you lived. so, and there was one other thing... -oh, yeah. she told me to look in the glove compartment. for a gun. so, now the only question is: will the ballistics report on this gun match the bullet holes in the body of your friend and accomplice, jimmy fleming? -you look pleased about something. is it me or the box? i don't know yet. let's see what's inside. i called the doctor. -found out it's a girl. i like it. girl named lee. a whole new thing. come here, you. -morning, miss boddicker. first one here as usual. 25 years is a long time. you develop habits. you know, i was just sitting in my office, thinking about how you came to me with your dreams and how i didn't listen. -oh, that's okay. everything worked out, didn't it? i mean, the bank got its money back and i'm still here. still, i wish i had listened. and i was nicer. -if you have any more dreams you care to talk about, i hope you won't hesitate. actually, i haven't been dreaming much lately, mr. hitchens. whatever it was that made me dream, i think it went away. -actually, i had a dream last night. ask me what it was. all right, mr. hitchens. what did you dream? i'll tell you but you can't laugh. -and you can't tell anyone else. very well, mr. hitchens. you have my word. you have to swear. all right, i swear. -i won't laugh and i won't tell anyone else. i was dancing the tango. with you. very nice dream. ask me when it happens. -when does it happen?

labyrinth, the italian power metal band? no! labyrinth the magical puppet romp! co-starring david bowie's cock. -what? come on, jane. don't pretend you didn't notice, of all people! it's those lycra tights. they leave nothing to the imagination. -it looms over the entire film like a veiny albatross. anyway, if anyone out there does have my labyrinth video just text in and i'll pay for the postage. second class, no dhl or anything too pricey. no major hurry. i don't even own a video recorder anymore! -so, yes! we are going home now! hang on! hang on! i think we should tell our lovely listeners the good news. -our boy here has been nominated for an award tomorrow night, presented by the lovely konnie huq. best tall man talking irish lesbian dj award! that is the official award's title. thank you, dom. no, i am up for an award, but i probably won't win. -look at you being all coy! and slightly awkward. what do you mean "awkward"? everything you do is awkward. you're like a puppy with the legs of a spider. -that's ridiculous! how would the legs of a spider support a puppy? they'd have to be in proportion, obviously. obviously! i've an email here from chris herbert, who says he has your labyrinth video. -herbert! of course. you cheeky, thieving bastard! he says you can't have it back because he got it signed by warwick davis at a petrol station. "stop it, mad martigan! -she's only a baby!" i once saw nick faldo... at a petrol station. he was buying a pastie. the nominations for best music broadcaster are... annie mac, -john kennedy... topher kiefer... and lindsay carol. so, where were you last night? i was in the toilet. when konnie started readingread out the nominations -i suddenly got this unbearable urge to piss. i couldn't stop myself. it was like... i don't know. is there such a thing as premature urination? -i think the term's incontinence. maybe you've got cystitis. surely you can't get cystitis if you don't have a vagina? cranberry juice. sorry? -for your cystitis. i don't have cystitis... by the way. or a vagina. anyway! enough about me. -what's going on with you, daisy? my uncle died. you ok? it's... really hard. let... -let it all out. is there any post? i got you! good one! so you're uncle's not dead? -no, he did die, but he lived in canada. i didn't know him. brilliant! here's your post. i saw the awards last night. -mr grumps a sad sack cos he didn't win? no, mr grumps is just fine. i'm fine, i'm not mr grump. i didn't go to win. right. -good. still, i really thought you'd win. so, i'm sorry. no, it's not your fault. unless you rigged it. -did you rig it, daisy? what is popping, peeps? everything is poppin'. hi, topher. how are you today? -i'm ag, baby. i'm all good! congratulations. thanks, man! appreciate it. -yes! well done, you, mr award winner! no! really. come on. -it's no big deal. don't be so modest. i always knew you'd win. tell him about your dead uncle! what? -i'm so sorry. look, i lost someone myself recently. and someone said something to me, it was the only thing that made sense. and... that is so lovely, topher. -thank you so much. she didn't even like him! mate... no... i'm... -here's your post, topher. mr lover lover. i saw the pictures of you and konnie. you cheeky boy! oh! -no! we... we were leaving the club at the same time. it was totally innocent. honest. that's the good stuff! -if topher's got his filthy hands on lovely little konnie huq i am gonna stab myself in the eyes with a blunt fork. good morning to you too. why thank you! you're looking very well. -should i add that to your collection? it's not a collection. do you prefer the term "shrine"? i happen to think she's a very talented presenter, ok? she's the longest-serving presenter of blue peter ever. -longer than john noakes. john noakes! and that's what does it for you? that's what does it for me. she's so pretty! -she's like a... a unicorn. and it looks like topher's riding her! what? there's no riding. -i was the one put in all the groundwork last night. if anyone's gonna be riding her it's gonna be me. groundwork? you bought her a drink from the free bar and then told her she had a mouth like bob dylan. there was... a spark. -seeing her again then? i might be. when? soon. bollocks! -ok, put it this way. i'm not having lunch on my own today. so, put that in your... pipe. where's dom cox? i don't know. -but if he's late again i'm gonna staple his scrotum to his desk. so, how is your ego after losing last night? i didn't go to win. it was a waste of time. -really? i didn't think so. you got some cock then? you did? what are you... -every time. what are you doing? collecting sex miles? young, free, single. just doing what you should be doing -but with less of the crying and wankingcry and wank. you're hardly young. who was he? he won the award for "best new ethnic minority digital radio show". ethnic minoritywhere's he from? -he's latvian. are latvians even classed as an ethnic minority? are they classed as a minority? he gets 200 listeners. surely that's not how you define it? -maybe he's not very good. so, are you gonna see him again? why not? because he only gets 200 listeners. so why'd you shag him then? -because he won! that's weird. sorry. sorry. bit of a big one last night. -i didn't want to be late for this morning so i thought i'd crash here. how is everyone? great party? i ended up in a karaoke box with ian brown! he knows all the words todancing on the ceiling. -are you still drunk? no! maybe. well, get dressed! the subways are here at 3. -were the subways there last night?

don't know. it was the closest thing around at the time. what you doing? -dom did something terrible in a hat and left it to incubate in a drawer. why would you do it in a hat? i don't fucking know! i was very, very, very drunk! sometimes i do strange things. -lindsay, i've got... oh, god! sorry. neil, i'm smoking a cigarette, you're allowed to look. what have you got, neil? -prostatitis. or rather you... have. it can cause urinary frequency, penile discharge and dribbling. is there something we should know? no! -everything's ok. there's no dribble. neil, man! can you take this to the dry cleaners? what's the plan for lunch? -lindsay's already got a lunch date. like a date date? a date date. he finally asked her. bollocks! -that's what i said! i don't believe that. why? you actually asked her? you're actually going on a date with konnie huq? -i am actually going on a date with konnie huq's... pa. jemima. she's... lovely. -that is so typical of you. you always go for bronze. jemima is not bronze. she's gold! she's solid gold! -she's platinum! i would go so far as to say that jemima could be the one. no, it's jemma. i'm sorry. i don't know why i had it in my head that your name was jemima. -don't even know any jemimas. screw this! let's just go for a liquid lunch. i've got work, so... yeah. -must be fun working it konnie, though. you know... must be a riot going to all those parties and beating off the paps. it's mostly administration. is it? -going anywhere nice on holiday? where are the toilets? just over there. thanks. what the fuck are you doing here? -she's a keeper! you were right, by the way. she's the one. can i be the best man? she just seemed so vibrant -and exciting last night. did she? you're right. she's not gold. she's not even bronze! -she's brass! what is wrong with me? you're gangly, always look surprisedall the time, you have the name of a lady! yeah, ok! -yeah. no, i meant in terms of why can't i go for what i really want. thanks for that. what am i gonna do? fuck jemima off for a start. -jemma. and ask out konnie! i can't! i don't even have her number. got it! -got what? your phone! i have the same phone as you. no, you haven't. not this one, obviously. -i have two phones. one for business... and one for... pleasure. this is my pleasure phone, which i keep at home. why are you on konnie's number? i have a friend who likes konnie. -i know, i should have told you before, but i didn't want you to think i wasonly going out with you so i could get konnie's number. i think that you are really... good! who is this friend? oh, he's... a dj. -lindsay, i'm not stupid. your friend, the dj, it's topher kiefer, isn't it? it is. it is. i can't give out konnie's number. -but i tell you what, why don't you give me his number and i'll try and set up a date for 'em. that sounds awesome! you're the only person in the whole world who could set up the woman of his wet dreams on a date with his nemesis. you are a ridiculous human being. you should just kill yourself now -and avoid any risk of procreation. i think the risk is pretty low. all right, guys? how's it going? thanks for coming in. -the subways are here. are they? all right? i was just just... how you going? -how are you feeling today? all right. how are you doing, billy? he's sulking. he lost his lucky hat. -lucky hat? when did you lose it, billy? last night. never mind. anyway i'm just gonna go get teas, coffees... -hat. good as new. surprise! who would have thought that a tambourine would do so much damage? i think he must caught me with one of the bells. -shit! it's the latvian. you talk to him. tell him i've left the country. that you've left the... -you just answered the phone. no, i'm sorry. this isn't jane's phone anymore. she was... yeah, she was fired for being shit. -no, this is lindsay carol. what? well, i didn't go to win. thanks. that was great. -that's great. answer your own fucking phone, thanks. don't worry about him, man. he'll be fine. he said he was gonna cut my hands off as a punishment for stealing. -it's soft... having another conference call with a dying whale i see. seriously. what you think? new kid, embryo. -he records it all underwater. who doesn't these days? it's k2, man. glad i caught you. i've got another hot date tonight. -and i believe i've got you to thank for it. why don't you bring a gal? we'll double up, mate. are you still suffering from the old... how did you? -you... have you tried cranberry juice? that's what i suggested! or you could get a bag. can we stop talking about my wee sack? -for five minutes! if you tell one more personspeak about my bladder i'll tell peoplespeak about your pornographic jigsaws. i was trying to help! why would the sight of topher make you want to piss? because he reminds me of a toilet. -i don't know what you're laughing at. hat thief. what am i gonna do? it's fine. we've got a couple of hours. -bring them down the pub, buy them a drink. bond with them. i'm not meeting them on my own. what if he attacks me again? -he's quite strong for a skinny bloke. it's ok, neil will look after you. won't you, neil? what? where the fuck is dom? -ok, so we have finally been joined by our guests for today, the subways. and our missing co-host, mrs dominic cox. and for some reason, neil. sorry we were late. we were bonding. -being late's not rock and roll, it's just rude. supergrass were never late. never. they managed to combine hedonism with punctuality. that's what makes them a great band. -it wasn't a complete waste of time. we've actually managed to solve the riddle of your piddle! tell him. that'd be great. can we share that with the listening public? -by the way, can i mention that neil has a collection of pornographic jigsaws? and in some countries is labelled as a sex pest. we have deduced that lindsay has a pathological fear of failure, so that when he anticipates he's gonna fail at something... like last night's awards. or asking out a certain miss huq. -it makes him want to piss! and we've pinpointed the exact traumatic childhood event that caused this? i don't have a psychological problem! i have an old lady's bladder. it's as simple as that. -we have a caller on line one! mum? hi, ruth. hello, dominic. how are you, mum? -i'm fine! tell him about jean's ankles. jean's ankles playing up again? this is great! always a pleasure to hear your voice, mum, as you know. -especially when i'm live on air. could you tell us why you're calling. tell him what you told me earlier and about terry the tiger. allright, yes. what? -when lindsay was six we were on holiday in tenerife. and they had this talent show for the kids run by terry the tiger. now, lindsay had always liked dressing up and showing off, so we entered him into it. we dressed him up as marc almond and got him up on stage in front of all the parents to sing tainted love. but poor little lindsay forgot all the words and the audience turned on him and then... -i pissed myself. i had the same experience at glastonbury. now we've got the root of the problem, we need to fix it. what do you mean, "fix it"? you've got to finish the song. -and not piss yourself. what? you sounded really horrid. that wasn't embarrassing at all. what? -it's the latvian. ok. better let him down gently. i'll see you guys in the pub. well, fuck me in the face! -it's konnie! she must be here for her date. she's beautiful. she's like... she's like a mermaid! -but with legs. here. you haven't pissed yourselffor a while. you must be cured. she's so incredible. -it's like it actually hurts... to look at her. it's like staring directly at the sun. all right, boys! neil's having a house party. we're heading over, if you fancy it. -it's so cute that you guys have made up. there's no harm done. got my lucky hat back. i know but after what he did with it. what you mean? -what did he do with my hat? he's a... prick. come on! let's go to the party. well, this is very flattering, but last night was last night. -you know? it's award season, you won. i like winners, but i think it's probably best if we leave it there. sorry, i'm a little confused. i'm just saying thanks -but you shouldn't have comehere to see me. i'm here for a meeting. after the awards they called me to offer me a job here. and then i call you to let you know, so it wouldn't be so awkward. right. -so, you... you don't want me? we all have silly eyes when drunk. like you say, award season. tit. it is time to go. -signing out for the night, daisy. thank you. lins, you don't have to... konnie, isn't it? lindsay carol. -i was nominated for the award you presented last night. are you the one that said i had a mouth like bob dylan? are you here for your date? i'm meeting my pa. she's got my phone. -jemima. jemma. do you know her? in passing. why are you meeting her here? -she's got a date with topher kiefer. say again. she's had this thing about him for ages! cheeky bitch! excuse me? -hey, guys. lindsay, i believe you know jemma. hey, konnie. how are you? lindsay, i'm sorry. -i was gonna tell you. i didn't want you to think i was only going out with you to get his number. well, were you? we should probably go. peace. -so, have you got any plans for tonight, mr grumps? so... this is great! huh? so, a little birdy tells me you have a degree in economics. going anywhere nice on holiday? -and he just went boom-boom-boom! okay, all right, hold up. someone has to say something nice about my friend herb tonight, so i'm gonna give it a shot. i have followed herb lee my whole writing career. i followed him through three publishing houses. -i followed him when he started his own. it's embarrassing to need your editor so badly. that's how much i followed this guy. so i'm gratified to announce that he has now followed me to central connecticut. thank you very much. -i didn't follow you. i had three heart attacks. this was a preemptive strike against decrepitude. well, whatever brought you here to the beautiful marigold retirement community, i just want to say i'm glad that you're here, right down the road from my place. -and as long as pippa keeps making that butterflied lamb, i'll do anything, herb. i'll even caddy for you, if that's what it takes. that's fine, as long as i don't have to play golf. okay, wait a minute. just wait. -one more thing. i just want to say something else. i have known pippa lee for 25 years, and i think that i will never really know her. she is a mystery, an enigma, giving, caring, beautiful, intelligent, the very icon of an artist's wife. what are you talking about? -no, you are. and who precisely is this artist that pippa's married to? exactly. yes, that's my point. that's what it's come down to. -the one true artist's wife left in the modern world, and she ended up with a publisher. to herb and pippa and their weird new condo. yeah, i just have got three new poems. wonderful. well, if you'd ever like to show them to somebody who's nonjudgmental, i'd be happy to take a look at them. -really? i would like that. that would mean so much to me. i really wish sam wouldn't keep saying daddy moved to be near him. -mom, he's a satirist. anyway, nothing's gonna put a dent in herb's ego. it's you i'm worried about. it's time for dessert. but, herb, what is the real reason you moved here? -scaling down, making life more simple. i've liquidated everything so that when i go, pippa and the kids can get everything and not give it to the government. i thought you loved paying taxes. i have to admit, i actually like this house. -it's so easy. well, i'm glad you feel that way, sweetie. though i can't help wondering how many people have died here. your problem is, you're too adaptable. you're the adaptable enigma. -to be perfectly honest, i've had enough of being an enigma. i want to be known. like many people, i have lived more than one life, so we're going to have to start at the beginning. breathe. -breathe. i see the head. come on, one good push. ahh! fuck you! -good girl. good girl. my birth was marked by several unusual occurrences. first of all, i was covered in fine blonde fur. why is she furry? -oh, no, there's nothing to worry about. i had a monkey! i had a monkey! you can expect to have a beautiful baby girl. the hair is just vestigial, as i tried to tell your wife. -you know, i'm sorry if it offends you, father, but we believe that millions of years ago, humans were covered with fur. i know that. so is it a baby or a pet? suky knew my condition had nothing to do with evolution. it was all her fault, because my mother had a secret, her own little stash of sin. -how's my pal? i'm okay. are you having a hard time living here in wrinklebury? it's strange having so much time on my hands. this place is so easy to maintain. -but there's gonna be charity work i can find. you want to move back to the city? we just sold our apartment. well, we can get another one. are you serious? -no. i'm just having a hard time thinking of this as the end of the line. i think it's sort of romantic- starting all over, just the two of us, so little stuff. must you always look at the bright side? can i get you anything? -some carrot juice? no, i'm fine. what was that cheese we had for lunch yesterday? it was vacherin. i was so excited to find that at the market. -i love that cheese. once i lost my furry coat, my mother was so relieved that she became sort of obsessed with my appearance. she even took a drawing course at the town hall, the sole purpose of which was making pictures of me. aw, sweetheart, you have the most beautiful eyes. i think god took all of our best features and put them on your face. -don't you move. almost done. why, you little... turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey. ouch! -slap! she dressed me up as angels, cowgirls, movie stars. i was her prize possession. who else has a key? the cleaning lady. -but i really- i can't see miss fanning breaking in with a few friends to have chocolate cake in the middle of the night. and the maintenance people? you think it was me? do you think i'm losing my marbles? -i wasn't saying that. i wasn't... hi. there she is. hey, cutie. -hi, daddy. you look great. oh, thanks. hey, mom. hi. -hi. whoa. i'm starving. can i get the lamb chops? you can get anything you want. -do you want a drink first? yeah. oh, ben says he can't make it until later, so we should just order without him. okay. okay, these are just work prints, but... -oh, my god. you get the idea. that's incredible. it's an amazing image. were you in a doorway? -where were you when you took this? yeah, i just waited there. i mean, i knew they were coming back, but... that's incredibly powerful. look at this. -oh! these are so...powerful. these are wonderful. grace, this... hmm. -were you alone when you took these? no, we had a guide. you had a guide? and i hitched a ride with giles oppenheim. with giles oppenheim? -mm-hmm. how'd you manage that? he kind of adopted me. did you hear about that photographer that got shot in baghdad last week? uh-huh. -you heard about the bomb? ben, shut up. what bomb? no, it's nothing. yeah, she was with that oppenheim fellow... -ben! and they heard the whistle. and he wanted to go left, but she saw an alley towards the right, and she pulled him towards it, and that's when the bomb hit. and they turn around, and what do you know? if they'd gone left, they would've been smashed to smithereens. -she thinks she's immortal now. no, that's a complete distortion. why can't you just ever not say something? i do not know. sweetheart, everybody knows you're a killer, but you got to be careful. -i mean, you have to use your common sense out there. i do. dad, look... there's no way that i'm not gonna go back. if you had seen what i saw, you would feel the same. -you would want to give these people some sort of dignity. just be careful. anyway, i'm going to baghdad saturday. what's new with you? since when do you say "cash cow"? -well, i never said it because i never found one before. what's it about? oh, it's about war and romance and bad weather. is it good? a certain kind of good. -highbrow for lowbrows or lowbrow for highbrows. perfect summer reading for people with multimillion-dollar beach homes. used to be us. yeah, but we still wouldn't have read this book. so how are you, ben? -how is your paper coming? it's fine. what's it about? the right to die. "the right to die"? -or the right to kill. suky's energy was unflagging, day and night... in spite of an apparently weak thyroid, for which she took pills at 7:00 each morning, 12:00 noon, and 4:00 each afternoon. i was the only one who knew she was secretly pretending to be in a commercial half the time or a movie and she was the star. -i thought she was absolutely perfect. mom, can i have some more milk? mom? then there were days when suky shorted out, like a run-down robot. eat up, kids. -i always felt my real mother had disappeared in those moments. it scared me and made me angry. i thought it must be my fault that she was sad, and it was up to me to make her happy again. i thought maybe you forgot to say good night. her moods ruled my life. -my girl, my baby. oh, hello, dot. would you like some coffee? oh, no, i've already had some. this is my son, ben. -oh, the lawyer? not yet. nice to meet you. and herb. you've met herb. -oh, hi, herb. hey. oh, my lord. that's mr. swaggart. he needed to go. -have a seat. you know, there are other young wives here. you see them jogging around. is everything okay? well, yes, we're- we're fine. -but my son, chris... in utah? yes. right. he might be coming...east. -oh, well, that should be nice, if they would move near you. oh, well, the thing is, he's had some kind of crisis with his wife, and he's left her, and he's- he's living in his car. i just don't know what to do. oh, he was always sort of half-baked. you know what i mean? -you know, it's painful, i know, but sometimes you just have to maybe accept they are who they are. i mean, i feel that with my daughter. you're right. i knew that i should come to you. you- i just had a feeling. -he's living in his car? yeah, she said he was half-baked. i wonder what that means. it's code. it means half-wit. -hello? hello, marianne. what? what? no, tell him 45 is the absolute top offer. -well, if he goes somewhere else, he goes somewhere else. stop worrying. everything's fine. you're doing a fantastic job. have a nice morning, marianne. -oh, god, that woman's gonna drive me crazy. your blood pressure went from 120 over 90 to 148 over 100 in that one conversation. since when did you become a registered nurse? a little appreciation for your ministering angel... would you like to go in and out of the doctor's office every 15 minutes? -we got to change our number. i need an office. can we get an office here? what is the point of having an office? the point is, i spent 40 years building up this company, and they're crapping it up. -they're children there, absolute babies. that way, if i had an office, i can be there from 10:00 to 1:00. i could talk to marianne. i could read my manuscripts. -and when i come home, boom, i'm retired. that way, when you and i are together, we're really together. you had three serious heart attacks. is that not enough for you? yeah. -i got to go. bye, sweetheart. love you. see you. back home to brooklyn. -okay, sweetheart. thanks. what's happening here? okay, if i'm losing my marbles, so be it, but i need proof. how long before he loses his mind completely? -the half-baked son is moving in. wonderful. pippa! glad you could come by. a little eye candy. -thank you for having me. that's for you and dot. i wish you would keep an eye on dot. she's having a hard time. i know she talks to you. -well, sure. where is she? can you believe it? a 35-year-old man hiding in his room when his parents are throwing a party for him? i told her this was a bad idea. -it's right down the hall... okay. spare bedroom. get her to drink a pepsi-cola or something. okay. -you can go out there for five minutes. you've got to eat something. why are you crying? stop crying. yeah? -who is it? it's pippa lee. i'm looking for dot. oh, dear. hi, dot. -johnnie asked me to find you. well, look at me. i can't go out there. i'm pippa lee. chris. -oh, why are you putting that on? i-i ironed you that shirt i got you. excuse me, but there's something i need to do. where are you going? where are you... -he was the sweetest little boy. i mean, you just can't imagine. when you adopt, you just don't know what you're gonna get. look out! thank god she didn't fall in. -amazingly, it took me 16 years to figure out what was behind suky's personality. she's taking dexedrine. who is? mom. what's dexedrine? -speed. that's why she never sleeps, why she acts so weird. mom doesn't act weird. mom, why do you take this stuff? hmm? -these pills. what do you take 'em for? it's my medicine. can you put it back, please? chester told me it was speed. -chester doesn't know what he's talking about. so what would happen if you didn't take them? i'd get fat, like grandma sally. is that what you want? you all want me to walk around like some sick walrus? -no. why don't you just let me do my work? better yet, why don't you help me? why doesn't anybody around here help me? the cross is made up of a vertical beam and a horizontal beam. -the vertical beam points to the sky, to the spirit. the horizontal beam is the line of the earth, of life on earth. that's what's so neat about jesus. he wasn't just the son of god. i'd like to know what you're really like. -what do you mean? without that stuff. you're blowing this way out of proportion. so stop. i don't care if you get fat. -it's my medicine. okay, fine. let's just hope i don't blow up. father, thank you for this food, for the gift of being together as a family. for these beautiful children around me. -suky's cold turkey lasted exactly one week. who is the president? does anyone know who the president is? boys, i think we all know it's lawn-mowing day tomorrow. imagine a dinner like this that went on for an entire year. -i know you two have your hunting tags. i know you're very anxious to get out in the woods, but we're not gonna do any of that until we've had gun safety... she was taking more and more of the stuff. i never knew who she was gonna be from one minute to the next. and i also would like someone to take care of the gutters. -excuse me. pippa! what is going on here, miss? mom, come dance with me, mom. mommy, dance with me, okay? -i just need you to dance with me. put your feet on, okay? what is going on? put your feet on. come on, remember? -mommy, i know your little secret now, okay? oh, i totally did it. what? what are you talking about, huh? i'm high too. -now we can both be high together, okay? you and me, mom. no, you took my medicine. how much did you take? i don't know. -it's okay, though, mommy. i love you. i love you. mom, i love you so much. we just can't tell your dad about this, okay? -are you okay with this? yeah. i am so...sick of you! you! i knew you were bad from the day you were born! -you! no! ahh! she was never going to back down. she was never going to change, even if it meant dragging me down with her. -oh, herb. herb. herb. herb! herb, wake up. -it's me. what? it's me on the video. hold on, kid. what are we talking about here? -the-the chocolate cake and the yogurt. i just saw it on the video. it's horrible. it was you? she- -i was sitting on the floor, eating like an animal. herb, i think i'm going insane. maybe i'm going insane. come here. take it easy. -look at it this way: your being a sleepwalker is a hell of a lot better than me being senile, isn't it? hmm? of course it is. of course. -anyway, sleepwalkers are a dime a dozen. you'll never get off a murder rap that way. pippa lee, right? oh, hello. you got a job already. -i'm working my way to the top. it's a beautiful day. i'm trying not to notice. oh, and a pack of marlboro lights. costly habit. -i don't- really, i don't smoke. i just, um... you don't work here at night, do you? i haven't yet. -why do you ask? oh, i just- i just always thought what a horrible job it would be just waiting for someone to buy-i don't know- cigarettes or something. matches? please. i'm sorry about ducking out on you. -i'm not a big party person. oh, no, no, no, i shouldn't have interrupted. actually, i don't need a bag. that's okay. and give your mother my best. -these strawberries are so sweet. hmm? these strawberries. so sweet. mm. -maple bank farm. how's the book coming? i'm a hundred pages in. who knows? you know. -how do you know i know? 'cause you always do that. you pretend it's not gonna work when you know it is. i have an idea. why don't you finish all my conversations for me, since you know what i'm thinking? -it'll save us all a lot of time. well, there's a good idea. do bats really get in your hair? can you please just come up with one thing that isn't a weird little cliché? i think i left the lights on in the car. -aunt trish was the kindest person i had ever known. we can talk about it later. go get some rest. who are you? -i'm kat. this is my room. oh, i'm sorry. no problemo. hey, did you sleep okay? -who's kat? uh, she's my roommate. listen, your parents are gonna be here in a few hours. what? honey, you have to deal with them sooner or later. -as far as i'm concerned, you can stay with me, so long as you end up with a high school diploma. i know there's a problem at your house. you do? mm-hmm. no one else is gonna say it, so i will. -you did good getting away. ta-da. okay, bye. bye. bye. -see you tonight, pippa. bye. wow, aunt trish... we're a couple of black sheep, you and me. i'm not running away. -i'm just done, that's all. but what does that mean, you're done? it means i don't want to live with you. what's all your fault? what you did to me. -i didn't do anything to you. i'm done. don't you get it? you're not even gonna come home for christmas anymore? no, i didn't say that. -i just... i think it's better if i don't live there anymore. nothing. please, mom. please. -don't be sad. no, no, you don't be sad, honey, honey. it's okay. i love you so much. it's okay. -it's gonna be okay, okay? i can't. pippa? i'm done. pippa! -i promise! i would never go home for christmas or anything else. i was free. thank god. chocolate? -i thought you'd left me. i can't take it anymore. he's such a prick. aw. sam can have a mean sense of humor. -look, maybe if you laughed along? i have been laughing for four years, and now i'm crying. i think sandra's having an affair. what makes you think so? well, she's talking about splitting with sam, and she's terrified of being on her own, you know, and it just adds up. -well, maybe she just wants you to think she's having an affair so you tell me and i tell sam and he starts treating her better. you really think sandra's that conniving? it's what women are like, a lot of them. conniving? no, it's not conniving. -it's human nature. it's survival of the fittest. need i refresh your memory? never mind. i don't like this book. -i'm going to sleep. i still think she's having an affair. oh, by the way, i think i found you an office. this is perfect. oh, i'm so happy. -it only took two days to get the furniture, and i just thought it would be great to have a place away from marigold village. what's this for? in case i get paper cuts, drop a phone on my foot? old people bleed just like young ones, sweetheart. well, why don't we get an ekg for the corner, we can get an oxygen tent over there? -okay, i'll leave you to it. thank you for this. what a sweet woman you are. he jumped right out at me. i'm-i'm sorry. -sweet jesus... is he yours? no. hi. i'm so sorry i'm late. -oh, hi. that's a beautiful purse. oh, thank you. oh, god, you look so beautiful. what are you doing different? -it's the indolence. i wish i could be peaceful and good like you. "good"? what is it? i just... -it's over between sam and me. oh... and it's just all so completely, completely messed up, and i don't know what to do. i... i'm never gonna have a normal life. -you can be married to anybody, if that's what you're worried about. anybody? marriage is an act of will. i mean, i adore herb, but our marriage functions because we will it to. if you leave love to hold everything together, you can forget it. -love comes and goes with the breeze, minute by minute. pick any man over 50 in this room. either one of us could be married to him. okay. what about that one? -he just needs his routines, that's all. i bet if you anticipate his needs before he knows he has them, he'll be docile as a lamb. what-that one? he needs a lot of praise, but so long as you stick your finger up his ass while he's coming, he won't give you any trouble at all. i'm kidding. -i was kidding. i wonder if maybe i'm having a very quiet nervous breakdown. did you get the boots? yes. i mean, they're on hold. -but i got 'em. i did it. good. good for you. you deserve them. -mrs. lee? i want some cigarettes. what kind? the white ones. marlboro lights? -pippa. you're okay. it's okay. would you like me to drive you home? maybe you shouldn't tell anyone about this. -i'll try not to. you'll try not to? it might slip out one day. i think i just figured out what's so odd about you. you can't lie, can you? -okay. well, thank you. what's up? pippa, for christ's sakes, i'm not dead yet. aunt trish's apartment was a haven after the hysteria of my mother's household. -i fit in easily with the two of them but was secretly fascinated by kat, maybe because she seemed a little bit dangerous. bye. bye, baby. so, chicklet... boom, boom! -what's your favorite subject? i don't really have one. well, what do you like? nothing in particular. must be good at something. -no. for the record, i think you're special. special how? special like i can't believe you landed in my lap. almost makes me believe in destiny. -hey, come in. hey. this is my friend shelly. wow. shelly, this is pippa. -you were right. she's perfect. mm-hmm. let's get this show on the road. whoo-hoo! -so what do i do? when i was in the film business, we never asked questions. we just showed up and let shit happen. just look at the camera like it's someone you know and don't like. that's the secret. -yeah, like that. that's kitty. who's kitty? the girl in the novel she's writing. that's what the pictures are for. -kitty is every woman's wild side. she's fearless. don't you wish you were fearless? i guess so. yeah, if you were, you wouldn't cry every time you hung up the phone after talking to your mommy. -you'd forget the past. is that what you do? i'm the girl from pluto. i'm a scary thing. can we get doughnuts? -later! okay, this is the scene where mrs. washington comes home and finds you in her playpen. who's mrs. washington? mrs. washington is the woman who owns the mansion where you're at. and one day, you come home, and you decide to play with her kids' toys. -okay, so listen, you have to be really upset, so i need you to think of something sad. i'm just not really feeling anything. no? slap! okay. -let's go. come on, let's go. come on, shell. is she gonna hurt you? no, don't let her take the baby. -that's right. that's your baby. good. yeah. that is perfect. -yeah, now the spanking, all right? what? it's just- it's pretend. is this good? go. -ow! christ! sorry. no, i said pretend. sorry. -you all right? you want to do it again? yeah. okay. let's do another one. -whoops. how do you feel, kitty? yeah, that's right. okay. pull the leash. -pull the leash, that's right. go on, little puppy dog. that's great. i let those two weeks of my life happen because, in a way, i felt i had no choice. that's not quite true, though. -it wasn't coercion. i liked the attention, and- oh, i don't know. anyway... aunt trish came home sick. that was the end of my stay with aunt trish. -you slept late. i'm sorry. it took me ages to fall asleep. okay, i'm off. see you at lunch. -oh, is there anything else you want from the market other than the apricot spread? no. what? ever since we moved to the old folks' home, you look younger and younger. that's just 'cause i'm not setting my hair. -okay. oh... chris? i'm so- it's pippa lee. i'm so sorry to disturb you. -i just-i forgot i'd left my car at the convenience store. i'll just wait out here. okay. your mother told me you're going through a hard time. you could say that. -fired from my job at the men's shelter, i come home to find my wife sitting on top of my best friend. wow. that's bad. yeah, well, there's probably a good reason for it all. -what? i'm an asshole. you are? i don't know why. i just always have been. -that tattoo you have must have hurt terribly. i tried to join a jesuit seminary once when i was 17. you were gonna be a priest? yeah. but they rejected my application. -do you still have that vocation? just the tattoo. what made you lose your faith? i just stopped believing god was a mystery you could nail down with one book. but by that time, my parents had written me off as a fuck-up. -i was married to a jesus freak, and i was just as pissed off at the world as when i was a christian, which brings us more or less up to date, give or take a decade. what are you thinking? i was just thinking that you seem like... what? just that you- you seem so bright. -it's a pity you never settled on any real work. it would make your life so much easier. okay. well, thank you. i didn't mean to offend you. -i suggest you go back to that little life you've puffed up for yourself. i'm sure you're very happy underneath all that anxiety. you're right. you know, you are an asshole. told you. -in the years after i left aunt trish, all i can remember is fixes i got myself into. it was a free fall. truth is, i took every pill i could get my hands on. it's no wonder i can't remember any of it. one day, i found out my mother had died. -i tried to remain as numb as possible. that was my boyfriend, jed. oh, no, it-it was craig. craig was my boyfriend. i can't believe you sold a painting to gigi lee. -wait, who is she, anyway? she is an heiress, collector, party girl. she knows everybody. she knows andy. hey! -hi, everybody. hi. this is sam shapiro, the novelist. that material belongs with the childhood. i know, but i'm moving back and forth in time. -it's-it's- it's liquid. that's fine, but let the sequences accumulate. they're too staccato. i'm exactly what looking for, that kind of staccato feeling. hello. -hi. are you with our party? yeah, i'm with craig. you bought a painting from him. oh, yeah. -this is max. i'm herb. and you are? pippa sarkissian. what kind of a name is that? -english and armenian. ah. well, welcome. whoo! you don't have a bathing suit? -go naked. nobody's here. come on! come on! oh, i'm so happy to see you. -listen, i want to organize a show in paris for you. have you been in paris before? mm-mm. that's fantastic. what's going on? -pippa. pippa sarkissian. come here. come. sit. -talk to us. so, pippa, what does a free spirit like you have for breakfast usually? does she look like she eats breakfast? come on. do you? -no. that's your first mistake of the day. so what do you do- first thing in the morning, you get up, you go to the studio? i don't have a studio. you got to be an artist, dressed like that, come on. -well, what do you do? i work in a clothing store. you have no ambition? do you realize no one has ever walked through that front door before without having some kind of ambition? the butler is writing a short story. -he told me so himself yesterday. i'm gonna get a drink. you want a drink, pippa? uh-uh. get me another one of these. -i will. i'll be back. this is the most amazing house i've ever seen. it's not a house. it's a mausoleum. -there isn't one comfortable piece of furniture in the whole place except this couch. it's like living in an aquarium. then why do you live here? my wife. i could never afford a place like this, although i'm not poor. -so, pippa, when are you gonna start doing something about your life? what do you mean? well, doesn't it get dispiriting being so aimless- i mean, "the times, they are a-changing" notwithstanding? what? -you have such a sweetness about you. no, i'm not sweet. well, you can be experienced and have a sweetness about you. it's an innate thing with you, it seems. i haven't seen that quality in a person in a long time. -we're all going swimming! andiamo. vamos, ya, ya, ya. oh, god. i didn't realize it yet, but i had set my sights on herb, and once that happened, watch out. -she's making me nostalgic for his first wife, and trust me, that's saying something. you're interesting, pippa. i've been observing you. you have? you're like an ingenue femme fatale. -okay, and what are you like? writers are vampires. i'm waiting for the right girl to come along and make me a human being. you realize that if i leaned in right now and kissed you, i'd be the third guy tonight? -am i right? yeah, you would. come on! there you go. thanks. -see you next week. next? fish tonight? oh! well, he comes all the way from maine every thursday. -you feel guilty about the fish man? a little. i'm sorry about the other day. oh, that's all right. how are you doing? -oh, fine. see, it's- it's a psychiatrist. that's because he thinks i'm gonna need medication and a locksmith. see, he suggested that we bolt the bedroom door from the inside and herb hide the key, and, um... oh, i'm supposed to take up a hobby. i'm thinking bowling. -would you like to go for a drive... after you get your fish? i'll make pasta. where do you want to go? i don't know. -i could show you where i grew up. okay. how do i get there? oh, it's straight for a couple of miles. and then we'll make a turn. -i'll tell you. it's close. it's... there it is. it seems so small. -is your family still here? no. that's my daughter, grace. she hates me. i wonder... -what? if i got it all wrong with her. i just didn't want to suffocate her the way my... i think it happens like that in families sometimes, though, where you just keep swinging back and forth from generation to generation, getting it wrong the opposite way. it was so simple with ben. -but, you know, she is a photographic journalist, travels all over the world, wherever it's exploding, takes photographs. wow. yeah, i know. we must have done something right. sounds like your daughter's like you. -why? you said you were always in a drama. well, i was reckless with my life. that's true. i never saw her again. -who? my mother. after i ran away, she died. she had a heart attack. oh, i can't wait to see. -if i could have anything, i would ask for one more afternoon with my mother. look at her eyes. i would be kind. beautiful. -i've been going to dot's pottery class. oh, good. why do you think it's good? the doctor said he thought you could use a hobby. tell me what you like about me. -right now? yeah. well, you put up with me, for one thing. that's it? of course not. -herb, what happened to us? we used to laugh so much. what happened? can't laugh all the time. well, we have to laugh. -or what? or she died for nothing. not that again, okay? why am i not allowed to mention her? i will not let this marriage turn into a guilt fest. -we have been through this a hundred times. she was crazy. you get involved with somebody like that, it's like putting your hand in a blender. sooner or later, your fingers get bloody. i just can't take it. -i can't take it. i keep seeing her, herb. i keep seeing her. the past just keeps caving in. i can't take it anymore. -i can't take it. i'm sorry. maybe you should be taking antidepressants. you all right? do you want to talk? -my mother used to do this. she'd suddenly disappear, and i'd find her on the bed in front of the tv with a plate of toast on her belly. that's how she died. yes, i know. i have to take your blood pressure. -no, you don't. i slept for a week after the party at herb's beach house. maybe i was trying to avoid my next boyfriend. when i woke up, i felt an overwhelming need to hear herb's voice. -i missed him so much. it was strange. hello? mr. lee? hi, it's pippa sarkissian. -pippa. hey. i was wondering, do you want to go out to breakfast? it's 3:00 in the afternoon. i meant tomorrow. -he treated me like a pal at first. he was avuncular. he teased me about being a waster. i called him an old fart. we would get together every couple of days and take a walk or eat something. -he gave me reading lists. he wanted to educate me. hey, sorry i'm late. you're always late. well, maybe you're always early. -i bought something for you. now, you only have to wear this once. i'll be alone at the beach house this weekend, and i want you to come for lunch. you weren't supposed to buy this. i needed to. -i loved being with herb. he made me feel protected. i thought i was a writer. i thought it was my calling, but it just wasn't. i, uh... -i couldn't flow. i have a very critical nature, and it kept me from being able to flow. then i was slightly lost for a little while. i had no idea what i was gonna do. and i had a friend in the publishing business, and he offered me a job, and here i am. -tell me what you like about me. well, you're not a show-off about it, but i think you're very intelligent. and you're beautiful, but you're cool about it. and there's a sadness about you, and i like that, in moderation. i like your jacket. -and that's it? no, i... i like your face and your voice. and, um.... this is gonna sound strange. say it. -it's like, um... like i can feel what you're feeling. you know, if you feel nervous or happy or sad, i can feel it in my body, in my fingers. what a remarkable thing. oh. i'd like you not to feel as if you have to censor yourself around me. -tell me something about yourself. tell me the most important thing about you. i'm a fuck-up. i felt like i was being rescued from a burning wreck. if i'm good for anything in the world, it's for letting you know how wonderful you are. -you're my true wife, you know. no, you don't want me. i make people sad. i don't believe that. anyway, you have a wife. -if i have to live with that lunatic for another week, i'll-i'll hang myself. for years, i've been hoping she'd have an affair so i can walk out on her, but she won't do it, the bitch. mrs. lee still seems unwilling to work her way up like the rest of us. what did you say to me? -i don't understand. she agrees to divorce you if we have lunch with her? she just wants to make the switch in some kind of elegant way. i can't believe you agreed to do this. i owe her this much. -come on, let's go. hello, mr. lee. nice to see you. hello, miss. hello, alphonsa. -welcome. hi, hi. hello, hello, hello. hi. sam, what a pleasant surprise. -i'll tell yursa to bring in the champagne. perfect symmetry. what? come on. she invited me for lunch. -cheers. oh. you're such a baby. thanks. let's face it. -i wanted gigi's life at that moment. it wasn't the money, exactly. it was just that the money made everything seem all right. it was the opposite of chaos, the opposite of everything i had known up until then. i wanted to be sheltered at last. -madam. lunch is served. oh, my. pippa. herb. -this lunch is in honor of telling it like it is. you know how we all eat chops and hamburgers and we don't think of the faces of who gets killed? anybody here a vegetarian? here's the truth as i see it: a pig for a cow, a fair exchange. -and who's who? sorry. okay, let's have lunch. who wants pig? first, a toast. -oh, jeez. to transformation. put the gun down. put it down. put it down, gigi. -isn't it funny how men always marry women who are easier and easier to dominate until they end up with an imbecile? put the gun down. put it down. give me the... no! -her image would haunt me for the rest of my life. i knew without thinking that not only would i marry herb. i would give myself to him, like a penitent. this was my last chance at goodness. if i fucked this up, i would be fallen forever. -every day, i tried to be good, to erase the past. i stopped getting high. but i didn't know how to be this new person. like a dancer learning a new routine, i relied on repetition to teach my brain. -hello? hello? it wasn't till i had the babies, though, that i really believed my own act. that was when pippa sarkissian disappeared forever. that was how i became pippa lee. -i got thrown out of pottery class. i got thrown out of pottery class. who is it? it's me. i'll be right there. -everything okay? i got thrown out of pottery class. why? mm. i told the teacher to screw off. -let me get my keys. we'll get some coffee. she's a witch. she's... why is this towel here, sweetheart? -were you eating and you didn't want to mess up the couch? no. what? when did this start? sometime after we moved here. -i was hoping it was an affair, but... it just isn't. i know this has got to be... dreadful for you. i-i want you to have all the money. you deserve everything. -um, well, are you going to marry her? well, at my age, it would be pretty ridiculous, wouldn't it? and... i just want to live. the past few years, -i can feel you starting to bury me, pippa. i can feel the earth in my mouth, almost as if you're looking forward to it. how can you say that? i can feel you starting to pity me, being afraid of me. you're already mourning. -don't deny it. i mean, of course, i am- i am afraid of you getting old and dying. it's normal to be afraid. well, i don't want to be normal, and i don't want to be mourned. -i am not a ghost. i want to live. nobody knows when the hell they're gonna die. you could die tomorrow. and fuck you for making me feel like an old man! -but, herb, you are an old man. oh, my... oh, sandra! killing yourself with a disposable razor. i don't think anyone's ever done that before. -she was in despair, you know. she loves you. this first aid kit came in handy, didn't it? i had the strangest feeling walking down those stairs. i suddenly felt so light, as if a great weight had been lifted off of me. -remember this moment, sports fans. remember where you were. pippa lee rounding the bend, guilt baton in hand, coming up on sandra dulles, and the pass is complete. pippa lee has passed the guilt baton to sandra dulles. i never thought i'd live to see this moment. -hi, there. hi. what's going on? my husband has been having an affair with a good friend of mine. so... -it's official: nobody needs me anymore. hi, ma. dot. wait. -dot, no, no, no. please, i didn't mean to upset you. i really didn't. that man is 35 years old... i know, but we haven't done anything. -and you are whatever you are. it's none- it's none of my beeswax. it is just disappointing when someone turns out not to be the person you thought they were. i lost control. i-i care about you tremendously. -why don't i feel anything? i mean, it can't be that i don't love you anymore. i adored you only this morning. maybe you're in shock. what is? -this whole situation. let's just fast-forward to the divorce. where... where are they? where were you going, mom? -ben, i really don't see that that's important. i just want to get everything straight. i had chest pains. oh, please stop being such an egomaniac and drink your tea. you forgive me, pippa? -forgive her for what? ben, your father and sandra were- they-they're in love. that's why i was leaving. what? -i'll jump out the window. i'm so stupid. i'm stupid. i'm just so selfish. i'll jump out the window if you don't forgive me. -i'm so... i forgive you. get up. get up, please. okay. -you do not forgive her. you're right. i don't. how could dad do that to you? sweetheart, he... -was afraid of dying. he fell in love. and i wasn't altogether there either, as of late. so i don't know. do you even care? -how can i compete with that? hi. where is he? oh, sweetheart. mrs. lee? -you have a phone call. okay, ben, will you take her in? yeah. i'll be right back. hello? -i just want to say, in all the world, you are the one person to whom none of this should be happening. thank you, sam. and i also want to say that i love you. me too. i mean, really. -oh. call you later. bye. sam? yeah? -i don't want to make butterflied lamb anymore. oh. do you see what i'm saying? why did ben get to stay? i don't know. -he seemed to want it the most. really? how do you measure that? do you have some sort of love-ometer? why don't we go home for a few hours and rest and then... -has someone been smoking in here? i don't know. yuck. was it daddy? what? -well, if daddy's been smoking, then maybe- no. no. so his brain is just dead? it's just completely dead? -he'll never say anything ever again? not one thing? that's what the doctors are telling us, sweetheart. you didn't even ask for a second opinion. gracie, i know, sweetheart- -good night. why did you bother to lie? oh, my god, you are smoking. i'm quitting soon. but i have never seen you smoke in my whole life. -i know. aw. i'm so sorry this had to happen to you. i'm not crying because of daddy. i'm crying because... -i'm so mean to you all the time, and i hate it. and i don't want to be. i really, really, really don't. sweetheart, it's not your fault. there's so many things you don't know about me. -no, not yet. i want to be your friend, because... because we still have time. i'd be honored to be your friend. no, not honored. just happy. -okay, happy. mom. i saw your light on. i wanted to see if you needed anything. my mom told me what happened. -oh, my son is at the hospital, and i'm supposed to be resting, but i can't. i could drive you around a little bit. do they have your cell? don't you have work? i'm off till 5:00. -i could write grace a note. okay. i'm leaving soon. and where will you go? back out west, i guess. -what do you pray for when you pray? for my kids to be happy, i guess. and to be good. it sounds so childish, saying it out loud. do you want to pray for your husband? -it's hopeless. his brain is dead. not for his brain. for his soul. i don't know how to do that. -me neither. let's try. okay, herb... i'm gonna let you go. i'm sure you're pissed as it is that i've left you like this so long, but we wanted to wait for grace. -i love you anyway, you know. i'll always love you, you bastard. are you ready now? okay, it's time to turn the corner. i'm going to stay with ben and his girlfriend in town. -i'm gonna find a place near them, and i'm gonna wait to become a grandmother. i'm awake. i just don't know if we can get it all to work. hi, mama. i'm going on a trip. -a trip? yes, and i was wondering if you could call these movers right here and take whatever you want and then tell them to give the rest to goodwill. that would be great. what about the memorial service? right, memorial service- just call everybody on here except for sandra, and just call me on my cell and give me the date. -and you know what? what the hell? invite sandra. mom, are you actually leaving? i'll be back. -when? sweetheart, your father was in love with a woman i cooked for two days a week over the past four years. i'm not going to organize his memorial service. who is that guy? -he's my friend. a friend? what's going on? ben, i'm not driving off into the sunset. i'm just seeing what happens next. -i can't believe this is happening. she's given us half her life. don't you think she deserves a vacation? mm. i love you. -i love you. i love you. i don't know how the rest of my story will go. i don't know who i'll be in it. all i know is, i feel like this is just the beginning. -someone has to say something nice about my friend herb tonight, so i'm gonna give it a shot. i have followed herb lee my whole writing career. i followed him through three publishing houses, and when he started his own. it's embarrassing to need your editor so badly, so i'm gratified to announce that he has now followed me to central connecticut. thank you. -i didn't follow you, i had three heart attacks. this was a pre-emptive strike against decrepitude. (laughter) well, whatever brought you here to the beautiful marigold retirement community, i just want to say i'm glad you're here, right down the road from my place, and as long as pippa keeps making that butterflied lamb, -i'll do anything. i'll even caddy for you. that's fine, as long as i don't have to play golf. wait, one more thing. i just want to say something else. -i have known pippa lee for 25 years and i think that i will never really know her. she is a mystery. an enigma. giving, caring, beautiful, intelligent, the very icon of an artist's wife. what are you talking about? -no, you are. and who precisely is this artist that pippa is married to? (laughter) exactly! yes, that's my point! -that's what it's come down to. the one true artist's wife left in the modern world, and she ended up with a publisher. to herb and pippa and their weird new condo. yeah, i just, er, got three new poems. wonderful. -if you'd ever like to show them to somebody who's non-judgemental, i'd be happy to take a look at them. really? i would like that. that would mean so much to me. -i wish sam wouldn't keep saying daddy moved to be near him. he's a satirist. anyway, nothing's going to put a dent in herb's ego. it's you i'm worried about. it's time for dessert. -but, herb, what is the real reason you moved here? scaling down, making life more simple. i've liquidated everything so that when i go, pippa and the kids can get everything and not give it to the government. (sam) i thought you loved paying taxes. -i have to admit, i actually like this house. it's so easy. i'm glad you feel that way, sweetie. though i can't help wondering how many people have died here. your problem is you're too adaptable. -you're the adaptable enigma. (pippa) to be perfectly honest, i've had enough of being an enigma. i wanna be known. like many people, i have lived more than one life, so we're going to have to start at the beginning. (man) breathe. -breathe. (woman) shut up! i see the head. come on, one good push! (yells) oh, fuck you! -(baby cries) - (man) good girl. my birth was marked by several unusual occurrences. first of all, i was covered in fine blonde fur. (baby cries) why is she furry? -that's nothing to worry about. when a baby's this late, it has time to grow vestigial hair, from the time that we were monkeys. i had a monkey! i had a monkey! you can expect to have a beautiful baby girl. -the hair is just vestigial, as i tried to tell your wife. i'm sorry if it offends you, father, but we believe that millions of years ago, humans were covered with fur. i know that. so, is it a baby or a pet? -suky knew my condition had nothing to do with evolution. it was all her fault, because my mother had a secret, her own little stash of sin. (whistles) how's my pal? i'm ok. -are you having a hard time living here in wrinkleberry? it's strange having so much time on my hands. this place is easy to maintain, but there's gonna be charity work i can find. you wanna move back to the city? we just sold our apartment. -well, we can get another one. are you serious? no. i'm just having a hard time thinking of this as the end of the line. i think it's sort of romantic... -starting all over, just the two of us. so little stuff. must you always look at the bright side? can i get you anything? some carrot juice? -no, i'm fine. what was that cheese we had for lunch yesterday? it was vacherin. i was so excited to find that at the market. i love that cheese. -once i lost my furry coat, my mother was so relieved that she became sort of obsessed with my appearance. she even took a drawing course at the town hall, the sole purpose of which was making pictures of me. sweetheart, you have the most beautiful eyes. i think god took all of our best features and put them on your face. don't you move. -almost done. (slams phone down) why, you little... turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey. ouch! -(slaps pippa) ("teen baby" by gary trexler) she dressed me up as angels, cowgirls, movie stars. i was her prize possession. # you're real, real cool -# for you i'm a fool # teen baby, be mine - # honey, i will # teen baby, be mine - # honey, you know i will # baby, be mine # all of the time -# oh, don't you know # i love you so # glad you're my date - # do-do, do-do-do # with me, you're great teen baby, be mine (gasps) -(police siren) (herb) who else has a key? the cleaning lady. but i can't see miss fanning breaking in with a few friends to have chocolate cake in the middle of the night. and the maintenance people? -you think it was me? you think i'm losing my marbles? i wasn't saying that. i wasn't... hey. -there she is. hi, daddy. you look great. oh, thanks. hey, mom. -hi. i'm starving. can i get lamb chops? anything you want. do you want a drink first? -yeah. oh, ben says, er, he can't make it until later, so we should just order without him. ok. ok, these are just work prints, but... -oh, my god. you get the idea. that's incredible. it's amazing, even. were you in a doorway? -where were you when you took this? yeah, i just waited there. i knew they were coming back. (herb) that's incredibly powerful. look at this. -oh! these are so... powerful. these are wonderful. grace, this... hmm. -were you alone when you took these? no, we had a guide. you had a guide? and i hitched a ride with, erm, giles oppenheim. with giles oppenheim? -hm-hmm. (herb) how did you manage that? (grace) he kind of adopted me. did you hear about that photographer that got shot in baghdad last week? (grace) uh-huh. +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:667b875c46c907d6ae36769e78d251f71b0e3fa4ee1eb0982db640fea045fdfa +size 15296290
